[quasi jewel]

maybe i can just set renderscale to a fixed value

[frosty dock]

oops, I forgot to change something in there, should be G.TILESIZE instead of self.TILESIZE

[quasi jewel]

ohp

all good

[frosty dock]

upd

[nocturne garnet]

why the fuck is this cryptid joker triggering twice

[narrow pendant]

I've got a hole in my code somewhere that's annoying me

anyone more experienced willing to take a look?

[hearty mesa]

i've tried to move the description of a joker or consumeable around and the values get updated but the UIBox stays in the same place.

Code:

SMODS.Keybind {
    key_pressed = "up",
    action = function(self)
        hover_popup, hovered_card = nil, nil
        for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if v.config.h_popup then
                hovered_card = v
                hover_popup = v.config.h_popup
                hovered_card.config.h_popup_config.offset.y = hovered_card.config.h_popup_config.offset.y + 1
            end
        end
        if not hovered_card then
            for _, v in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
                if v.config.h_popup then
                    hovered_card = v
                    hover_popup = v.config.h_popup
                    hovered_card.config.h_popup_config.offset.y = hovered_card.config.h_popup_config.offset.y + 1
                end
            end
        end
        if hovered_card and hover_popup then sendInfoMessage(hovered_card.config.h_popup_config.offset.y) end
    end
}```

its fun how simple that is

[frosty dock]

nice

deck skins are fun ngl

[crisp coral]

where does Steamodded handle negative playing cards?

[crisp coral]

oh its fucking

commented

okay my implementation for enchanted cards is immensely flawed

[surreal wolf]

tried installing cryptid and talisman i keep getting this error

`Error

verify game files on steam

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

[surreal wolf]

it verified fine, it can run other mods, but not these two, and i tried the troubleshooting steps on the cryptid github, it didnt work

[crisp coral]

delete Balatro.exe and verify again

[frosty dock]

@wintry solar what do you think of this?

[night pagoda]

At which point steamodded's localization files are being copied to the global table?

I can't access them from process_loc_text for some reason, but really want to

[wintry solar]

sounds interesting but could see it leading to an infinite loop

[frosty dock]

not sure how that'd happen if levels have to be strictly decreasing

[frosty dock]

should happen right before mod-level process_loc_text

aka after language injection

[night pagoda]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong then

[frosty dock]

oh sorry I thought you literally meant steamodded's own loc files

[night pagoda]

I have used other text entries from the same point in the dictionary, but after the game is loaded

and it worked fine

[frosty dock]

loc files from mods are used later

[wintry solar]

so would retriggering how it works now be level 1, and retriggering retriggers be level 2, say?

[frosty dock]

blinds support loc_vars, so you don't need this

[night pagoda]

I thought loc_vars was only for in-game?

as in: not collection?

[frosty dock]

collection_loc_vars exists

[night pagoda]

ohhh

awesome, thanks!

[frosty dock]

I'd prefer the default to be 0, but yeah, basically that

it would also allow having your retriggers be retriggered by standard retriggers, as in level -1

[zealous glen]

vscode are you drunk

[frosty dock]

it do that sometimes

[wintry solar]

so wouldn't two copies of a joker that retriggers all others at level 2 just infinitely retrigger?

[frosty dock]

inside a retrigger at level 2, further retriggers happen only if they're less than level 2, and retrigger checks don't retrigger

so one such joker might retrigger other effects of the other, but not the retriggering

same how retriggering a joker trying to retrigger at level 2, at level 1 wouldn't cause any additional retriggers

[wintry solar]

🤔

[maiden river]

how do you get the id from a joker (like the one used in an add_joker call)?
I've managed to get the name from a joker, which doesn't really help but is still useful

[frosty dock]

• joker 1 retriggers all jokers once at level 2

• joker 2 retriggers all jokers once at level 1

• joker 3 retriggers all jokers once at level 0

• joker 4 just exists

• when joker 4 triggers, it gets one retrigger from all 3 other jokers at the respective level

• joker 3's retrigger is level 0 and no retrigger checks have a lower level, so this causes no further retriggers

• joker 2's retrigger is level 1, triggering joker 3's retrigger again because it's less in level, this is 2 more retriggers

• joker 1's retrigger similarly retriggers both joker 2's and joker 3's retrigger, with joker 2 subsequently retriggering joker 3 once more. this is 4 more retriggers
  so joker 4 gets 7 retriggers in this case

[frosty dock]

card.config.center_key

[maiden river]

big

[frosty dock]

An additional copy of joker 1 would get the same 4 retriggers

[frosty dock]

do you get what I mean now?

[wintry solar]

yeah that makes sense

I just need to unscuff what I currently have before thinking about implementing it 🤣

[frosty dock]

fair enough haha

i'd love to see what it's up to though, no updates to the branch in 2 days

[nocturne garnet]

jolly

[maiden river]

Jolly!

I've made three jokers now:
Flat Circle (left): gives a X2 mult if the hand played just after obtaining this card is played again
True Minima (middle): makes the card on the right of it negative and self destructs
Safeguard (right [art is a draft]): When blind is picked, stores the card on its right, destroys it, and at the end of the round (if it has room) returns it, but without any edition it had.

I'm probably gonna shoot for five of these total

[primal robin]

m

[livid tapir]

im coding the first joker of my mod, Joker Lottery
it destroys the joker to the left of it and creates a random joker of the same rarity

i would like to know how to destroy a joker
or if theres some documentation that shows things for destroying and creating stuff

[nocturne garnet]

Jolly time of the year

[maiden river]

to delete a card you can use card:start_dissolve()
this goes for jokers as well

you add a joker using add_joker([id]), with the [id] being the identifier of the joker (e.x.'j_mr_bones' for Mr. Bones)

whoops hit enter too early lmao

gimme a sec

[livid tapir]

thx

[maiden river]

I have a bit of code I could share from one of my jokers

SMODS.Joker({
    key = "Safeguard",
    config = {
        extra = {
            Xmult = 2,
            card_name = "None"
        },
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Safeguard",
        text = {
            "When Blind is picked,",
            "destroys the card on",
            "the right and", 
            "remakes it without its edition",
            "at the end of the round,",
            "or when it has space.",
            "(Currently stored: {C:attention}#1#{})"
            -- C:attention gives the text a yellow colour
            -- C:mult/C:chips colours the text to the colour of mult or chips
        },
    },
    rarity = 3,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra.card_name } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            local right_card = nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    right_card = G.jokers.cards[i+1]
                    print(right_card)
                end
            end
            if right_card == nil then
                return false
            end
            if not G.GAME.SafeguardCard then
                G.GAME.SafeguardCard = right_card.config.center_key
                card.ability.extra.card_name = right_card.ability.name
                right_card:start_dissolve()
            end
        end
        if context.end_of_round then
            if #G.jokers.cards == 5 or not G.GAME.SafeguardCard then
                return false
            end
            add_joker(G.GAME.SafeguardCard)
            G.GAME.SafeguardCard = nil
            card:start_dissolve()
        end
    end,
    atlas = "Safeguard",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
})```

well hold on

[livid tapir]

oh thx, it also shows directional stuff, ill need that for my joker
thx for the help!

[maiden river]

no problem

I'm not too sure about the rarities though

[livid tapir]

ill figure it out

btw nice joker, cool concept and everything

[maiden river]

thanks

I actually don't really know when it would ever be useful tho lmao

[livid tapir]

honestly i could see smth
like if you have pareidolia and the boss blind is that one where it debuffs face cards

[zealous glen]

have you tried the jolly Holiday Pack

[livid tapir]

then you just safegaurd pareidolia until the boss blind is over

[nocturne garnet]

nothing compared to my whimsy

[maiden river]

oh wait that's huge

[zealous glen]

#1323374911905075302 message

[maiden river]

lemme test it

[livid tapir]

yea
based on when i lost a run bc i was using a pareidolia build and got that exact blind 💀

[maiden river]

ME TOO

man I was pissed lmao

[livid tapir]

me too

[livid tapir]

and that build was so op
it was a good run but that boss blind just ruined it 💀

[storm oar]

how do i properly check if a card is unlocked/discovered?

[livid tapir]

what does this mean btw

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

[maiden river]

if you have parts of the card that has text that changes (in this case, it's the name of the held card)
you return it in that function and reference it in the text

[livid tapir]

ah ok
so i dont need to worry about that for this joker

[maiden river]

technically, for the whole minima set it was supposed to be memory-based
so I'm going to take it out eventually
I just wanted the practice

I'm kinda stuck on thinking of two other mechanics, though

[storm oar]

what's the middle?

[maiden river]

it's a card that makes the joker on the right negative and then self-destructs

[livid tapir]

"you are negative now" explodes

[maiden river]

yeah pretty much

also that lock I drew is going to haunt me forever
this is why I don't do art 💀

[livid tapir]

meh i wouldnt be able to draw a good lock either

[maiden river]

but since all of the cards are supposed to be minimal i should probably change it anyway

[zealous glen]

maybe trace the base game's lock

[maiden river]

true

it looks like this now

[tidal edge]

it coul still be a lock

[maiden river]

true

I'm just changing it to that temporarily

mainly so I can focus on other things

[tidal edge]

if you want i coul try braw one in the style you have

[livid tapir]

download icon fr

[maiden river]

that would be huge

[livid tapir]

ooh i can make my own poker hands too

thats fun

[wintry solar]

pushed now, still missing post triggers 😄

[maiden river]

yeah I tried my hand at that too

I made a series of "wall" hands that were five enhanced cards
so stone -> stone wall
gold -> versailles gate
etc.

[tidal edge]

is that pun intentional

[livid tapir]

pun intended?

[maiden river]

goddammit

no

😭

[livid tapir]

LOL

[tidal edge]

can you try put this on the bg; i brew it quickly so sorry if itl ooks awful

just i wanna sese how it looks

[livid tapir]

thats ngl good

imo

[maiden river]

I'll try it out

[wintry solar]

Hopefully it’s not scuffed 🤞

[maiden river]

ignore the green guy

[livid tapir]

i need to try and look at riff raffs code to figure out this rarity random thing

[tidal edge]

is this the 1x or 2x sprite

because the lock i provibeb was for 1x sprites

[maiden river]

ah

lemme redo it

[livid tapir]

idrk how tho

[tidal edge]

oh shit then its too big

gimmie a sec to ownsize it on the 1x

[maiden river]

well I put it on the 2x first

and then scaled the card down

yeah I made it better lmao

[livid tapir]

thats good

[tidal edge]

oh yeah that looks nice

thx

[maiden river]

yup

[hearty mesa]

I might be going insane but I have no idea why this doesnt work

I tried replacing hover_popup:recalculate() with v.config.h_popup:recalculate() but it gave me the same error

[livid tapir]

i figured it out i think
basically its a different card creation function

[maiden river]

nice

coming from other languages to Lua
it's definitely
something

I don't think I'll ever get over ~=

[livid tapir]

        if context.setting_blind then
            local left_card = nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                left_card = G.jokers.cards[i-1]
            end
        end
        if left_card == nil then
            return false
        else
            left_card:start_dissolve()
            SMODS.create_card({
                set = 'Joker',
                area = G.jokers,
                rarity = left_card.rarity
            })
        end

    end```
i think this should work

now im wondering how i test it because like
how do i create that joker in game without having to go by luck

[maiden river]

in the for loop, you have to make sure to check which card is the card this is played from
that's why the if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then was in Safeguard

so it actually looks for the joker on the left of this joker

[livid tapir]

thx

[maiden river]

in your loop it would always pick the next-to-last joker, I believe

[maiden river]

do you have the debug tools mod

[livid tapir]

no

i should prob install it lol

[maiden river]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

once you install it, you hover over a card in your joker collection and hit 3

[livid tapir]

thats cool

[maiden river]

yup

there are a bunch of useful tools

you can add/change enchancements, win blinds, up antes, etc.

[livid tapir]

btw do i do that whilst in a run?

[maiden river]

yeah

[livid tapir]

it exists

did nothing to greedy joker when i did my turn

sads

ok so i added some debugging and ig it just isnt recognising the greedy joker that is RIGHT THERE

[shell condor]

does anyone know where these functions are defined? cant find it anywhere in my decomp

i wanna do something similar to mail in rebate but i dont know how the game does it for that card and id rather retrofit that method while not relying on it outright than try and hack something shoddy together myself

[livid tapir]

heres my joker code

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'jolot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Joker Lottery',
        text = {
            "Destroy joker to left of this card,",
            "create a random joker of the same rarity"
        }
    },
    rarity = 3,
    atlas = 'atlas',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 2,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            local left_card = nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    left_card = G.jokers.cards[i-1]
                end
            end
        end
        if left_card == nil then
            return false
        else
            left_card:start_dissolve()
            SMODS.create_card({
                set = 'Joker',
                area = G.jokers,
                rarity = left_card.rarity
            })
        end

    end
}

[maiden river]

did you select a blind and it didn't work? that's what your code is supposed to do, from what I see

[livid tapir]

well i mean id like it to do that every hand (then why in the world did i use the blind thing my dumbass)

[maiden river]

yeah

[livid tapir]

i mean every hand

[maiden river]

change context.setting_blind to context.joker_main

[livid tapir]

ok

[maiden river]

it'll run after you play each hand

[livid tapir]

though it also didnt do anything when selecting a blind either

ok i changed it

and it still aint do anything 💀

i swear this is probably one of those painfully simple things that i never notice

[spring lantern]

sorry to interrupt but quick question, just started messing around with this - when calculating joker bonus after playing a hand, is there a way to get the amount of chips that the player has scored?

as in the blue number, no mult

[faint yacht]

hand_chips and mult are currently scored chips and mult respectively.

[spring lantern]

i was trying to do something along the lines of xmult but with chips

oh thanks

[faint yacht]

Maybe you'd want to store information in the Joker itself? left_card will usually be nil anyway.

[livid tapir]

but the joker itself is a table meant for like args and stuff if thats what you mean

and why is left_card usually nil? ig thats whats happening

[faint yacht]

Each time you run the function, left_card doesn't exist until it is technically defined when you set it to the Joker.

[wintry solar]

Your left card check isn’t in any context so it will always run, but your value is local to the setting blind context so will always be nil in others

You don’t actually do anything when you’ve identified a left card

[livid tapir]

oh yea i changed the context to joker main recently

[livid tapir]

hm

so it needs to be in a context? its in joker_main context right? jeez this is confusing

[faint yacht]

Add config = { extra = { storedrarity = 0 } }, then store the card's rarity in card.ability.extra.storedrarity. When you recreate the card, call SMODS.create_card and pass the card.ability.extra.storedrarity to the rarity argument... then you can reset it to 0 or nil.

[livid tapir]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'jolot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Joker Lottery',
        text = {
            "Destroy joker to left of this card,",
            "create a random joker of the same rarity"
        }
    },
    rarity = 3,
    atlas = 'atlas',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 2,
    config = { extra = { storedrarity = 0 } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local left_card = nil
        if context.joker_main then
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    left_card = G.jokers.cards[i-1]
                    card.ability.extra.storedrarity = left_card.rarity
                end
            end
        end
        if left_card == nil then
            print("left card is nil")
            return false
        else
            left_card:start_dissolve()
            SMODS.create_card({
                set = 'Joker',
                area = G.jokers,
                rarity = card.ability.extra.storedrarity
            })
            card.ability.extra.storedrarity = 0
        end

    end
}```
soo.. is this what you mean?

[faint yacht]

Remove left_card entirely and replace checks of it against card.ability.extra.storedrarity.

                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
    end

I'm trying to make my enhancement card drawn with face side down, but it still gets drawn face side up, anything I'm missing?

[wintry solar]

It should be in set ability iirc

[merry raven]

Set ability?

[wintry solar]

It’s a function you can define on an object

[merry raven]

I'll look into it, is there an example code or something on it?

[wintry solar]

Should be in the wiki

[wooden nexus]

Been working on stuff

[livid tapir]

imma wipe it clean and try to remake it to see if i make some breakthrough that solves the problem

[maiden river]

does anyone know how to make a joker prevent death like our goat Mr. Bones?

[wintry solar]

There’s a context that you return true in

[merry raven]

Can't seem to find it, not in Joker Calculation nor SMODS.Enhancement

[wintry solar]

It’s in Center

[merry raven]

Found it, cheers

            })
        end
    end

made this
basically just a worse version of the old code
crashes it when starting a run so lol

[wooden nexus]

so how the heck does smods.sound work?

SMODS.Sound({
key = "Goku",
path = "Goku.ogg",
})

yet it's saying it doesn't exist

[merry raven]

When using it you need to add a prefix (not in SMODS.Sound, but in the place you want the sound the play)

For example if your prefix is xmpl, then to call it, you need to type xmpl_Goku

[wooden nexus]

oh okay

Didn't think it included sounds before too

tbf, first time playing with sounds

[merry raven]

Here's my implementation of playing a custom sound for an Enhancement:

--- PREFIX: fm
----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------
...(before defining all the SMODS objects)
SMODS.Sound({ vol = 0.6, key = "amplified", path = "amplified.wav" })
... (inside an SMODS.Enhancement implementation)
card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                message = "Amplified!",
                sound = "fm_amplified",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
...

[livid tapir]

i almost just fell asleep

[merry raven]

I still don't really have much of an idea on how to use set_ability, and inside card.lua there's nothing related to flips inside it

set_ability = function(self, card, initial)
        if initial then
            card.facing = 'back'
        end
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then
            effect.x_mult = 3
            if card.facing == 'back' then
                card:flip()
            end
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {
                message = "Unblinded!",
                sound = "fm_blind",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
    end

[wintry solar]

I don’t remember right now but try taking a look at blinds that flip cards

[merry raven]

I did, it's how I managed to find card:flip() in the first place, the problem is making the card stay face down when drawn

function Blind:disable()
    self.disabled = true
    for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v.facing == 'back' then v:flip() end
    end
    if self.name == 'The Water' then 
        ease_discard(self.discards_sub)
    end
    if self.name == 'The Wheel' or self.name == 'The House' or self.name == 'The Mark' or self.name == 'The Fish' then 
        for i = 1, #G.hand.cards do
            if G.hand.cards[i].facing == 'back' then
                G.hand.cards[i]:flip()
            end
        end
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            v.ability.wheel_flipped = nil
        end
    end

function Blind:stay_flipped(area, card)
    if not self.disabled then
        if area == G.hand then
            if self.name == 'The Wheel' and pseudorandom(pseudoseed('wheel')) < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/7 then
                return true
            end

These are what I could find

[wooden nexus]

Is there a context for when the card is created? Like either by card effect or appears in the shop/pack/etc

[wintry solar]

No

[wintry solar]

Try setting card.ability.wheel_flipped to true

I don’t remember if there’s a way to flip cards other than from a blind so it might need some patches

[merry raven]

There's card:flip(), like I said, it can actually flip cards without blinds, just apparently not correctly when drawn from the deck

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think they’ll just flip back though

[merry raven]

Yeah my first ever iteration is that the card came out face up, but when played it flipped face down

[spring lantern]

just created a mod but it doesn't appear on the modlist, did i maybe mess up the metadata?

Agony

[tepid crow]

Pretty sure the json parser that steamodded uses will break on that comment

(json doesn't support comments)

[spring lantern]

oops, i forgot that was there, got rid of it and i t works thanks!!

so what would be the most efficient way to test a specific card in game?

[wooden nexus]

The effect is not implemented btw

[spring lantern]

this looks kinda trash LOL

[maiden river]

made another joker

(far right)

it saves from death, but destroys all other jokers and makes itself polychrome

[thorny adder]

Is that delirium completion mark

[maiden river]

I'm not sure what you're referring to

[thorny adder]

Its an isaac reference

[maiden river]

ah I see

haven't actually played it yet

[thorny adder]

Dont play it

You wont escape

The only reason why my mod is taking so much time to code is that game

[maiden river]

btw does anyone know how to change the "saved by mr bones" text to say something else

[maiden river]

relatable 😭

[merry raven]

Yeah I am extremely lost on making a patch, is there any documentation on Lovely patches or someone that can help

[nocturne garnet]

😨

[spring lantern]

datamoshed jimbo

[maiden river]

does anyone know how to change the ante?

*with a joker, not with the debug menu lol

[crisp coral]

ease_ante

[maiden river]

big

[maiden river]

changed the mechanic

[merry raven]

Ayo sorry to bother, been looking through chat histories to see if anyone figured out how to draw cards from the deck face down
Did you manage to do it? If so, how did you do it? Been trying to do something similar for a while now, ping me when you're able

[zealous glen]

I remember having a functional implementation although I haven’t touched it in a while

What do you want to do exactly?

[merry raven]

I'm making a custom enhancement, the card is drawn face-down, but if you somehow score it, you get a nice xmult

[rough furnace]

That's like my one joker but a bit harsher and more useful

[merry raven]

If you uploaded the mod somewhere like GitHub, I can go take a look if you'd allow me

[zealous glen]

I haven’t uploaded it yet :<

[merry raven]

Aw

[zealous glen]

Hmmm

I have a similar effect where it was a Blind that causes some Suits to be drawn flipped

So maybe a hook would be sufficient to replicate it

[merry raven]

I am currently fiddling with card:flip(), but the card just won't get drawn face down in non-Boss-Blind situations

[merry raven]

Damn I've never coded a hook before

[zealous glen]

Ah that’s true maybe it wouldn’t be called outside of Boss Blinds

Maybe it would need to be a patch

[merry raven]

I also have zero experience making patches

[zealous glen]

Try hooking Blind:stay_flipped

[merry raven]

That's a Blind function so I never really considered it to use with my Enhancement, is this where a hook/patch comes in?

Oh wait I didn't see "hooking"

[bold sleet]

help, how do I iterate and compare through all the cards in the deck (+ held in hand if possible)?

[merry raven]

Yeah I'm gonna be struggling figuring out how to hook

[zealous glen]

Yes the idea is that the effect would be applied outside of the object

Although

Now that I think about it I remember also having a method to force cards to look face-down

[merry raven]

Do you have it? Can I shamelessly copy it

[zealous glen]

Do you want them to be drawn face-down outside of Blinds?

[merry raven]

Like getting them in Booster Packs or Shops or something?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[merry raven]

Yeah sure why not, adds to the challenge

[bold sleet]

help, i stoopid

[zealous glen]

compare what

[bold sleet]

For each card, for example, compare and test if it is for example, a sevel of any given suit.

I would be looking for an enhancement, but that is just an example.

-# wait, let me check steel joker for a sec...

actually, this will do

The good news: I think I found the piece of code that makes it work. The bad news: No idea how it works, exactly.

So uh... help?

mainly the for loop because I stupid af and never got around to understanding it

[maiden river]

interesting
what does yours do?

[zealous glen]

This is the line I think you should look at

local stay_flipped = G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind:stay_flipped(self, card)

[merry raven]

Does it work anywhere and not just SMODS.Blind?

[zealous glen]

I think the best solution would be to patch after, and then do something like stay_flipped = stay_flipped or is_jitJets_enhancement(card)

[merry raven]

What field will the stay_flipped line be in? pattern or payload?

And I assume target would be the Lua file where Blind:stay_flipped be? I'm not at my computer rn so I forgot

[zealous glen]

The patch would look something like this, although you either define the function inside the patch or just check directly for the enhancement. something like card.center.ability == jitJets_enhancement; I don't remember where in the center the identity is stored

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

# Flipping Enhancement
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "cardarea.lua"
pattern = "local stay_flipped = G.GAME and G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind:stay_flipped(self, card)"
position = "after"
payload = '''
stay_flipped = stay_flipped or is_jitJets_enhancement(card)
'''
match_indent = true

Oops I think I forgot to change the target

[zealous glen]

It iterates over every card in the full deck, and whenever it finds a Stone Card, it increases a counter by 1

Also @merry raven that shows how to check for an Enhancement, I suppose

[merry raven]

Yeah there's only one enhancement that does it, its key is blinded

So I could something like card.center.ability == "m_fm_blinded"? Wouldn't it, idk, break since im basically calling an enhancement inside its definition?

[zealous glen]

card.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_MODKEY_blinded

[merry raven]

Ah gotcha

I'll see what I can do tomorrow, it's getting late
Thanks for taking the time to help!

[zealous glen]

I was thinking in term of effects like Smeared

If you have a function that computes even a simple comparison like this, it's easier to make effects like Smeared

Something like Rank Smeared doesn't work in vanilla because it'd need to be hardcoded

so it wouldn't be compatible with mods

[merry raven]

I see

[bold sleet]

thanks

[wintry solar]

G.playings_cards is a table go all the playing cards you own, so using that for loop will give you every card as v in turn

Then inside that you’ll want to use SMODS.has_enhancement

[rough furnace]

Mine undos the last hand on sell (undoing being +1 hand -last hand score) and auto sells if you're about to lose

[maiden river]

oh

interesting

[spiral vector]

Oops! Something went wrong:

game.lua:993[string "147226"]:4273: function arguments expected near '}'

i was changing the localization file

can anyone tell me what i need to do to avoid this error or what causes this

[elder vapor]

code?

[nocturne garnet]

why the fuck is it breaking when i go to the next page 😭

why must i be so trash at making ui codeeee

[rough furnace]

it attempted to call a nil value

[nocturne garnet]

i dont know what value it is though...

[rough furnace]

look at the lovely dump then

[nocturne garnet]

im so fuckin stupid

i misspelled the function 😭

[wintry solar]

better calc 2 still giving different numbers than retrigger api 🤔

[supple folio]

Is there a way to remove a consumable from its respective pool?

Like make it so that you can’t get Strength from packs and shops, for instance

[rough furnace]

you can take_owenership on it and then override it's in_pool function

although irrc strength is the default tarot to it might still show up if it can't get another tarot

[supple folio]

Yeah, that was just an example

Thank you!

[spiral vector]

im translating the whole localization.lua file

but i think i accidentally deleted something and i cant find it

[hearty mesa]

Anyone have any idea why this doesnt work? It's supposed to move the currently hovered joker or consumeable's description up by 1 unit but it gives this error

I know that the error is caused by v.config.h_popup:recalculate() but i have tried many values and it doesnt work

[maiden river]

is there a context for if a joker is being sold, and a way to tell if it is this joker?

nvm I found it

context.selling_self

[supple folio]

what is the copier argument in the consumable.use function?

[maiden river]

all five jokers done!

the last one swaps the editions of the jokers on the left and right once it's sold

also does anyone know how to get the name of modded jokers?

e.x. "Flat Circle" instead of "j_mini_FlatCircle"

[stiff locust]

uhh yeah you can just search for the name of the joker instead of the key

for index, value in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
  if value.name == "whatever you're searching for" then
     ---do stuff
  end
end

that should do it

i think

i have yet to solve this problem in the cashout screen where

if a joker has its name color changed

the color changing tag shows up on the cashout message

i was told this is due to "not localizing it"? but i don't really know what that means in this context

anyone know how to fix that

[rough furnace]

Just use SMODS.find_card

[stiff locust]

SMODS.find_card has done nothing but betray me

I cannot get it to return a coherent result ever

the one time I got it to print the output, the table was empty

fuck smods find_card

[rough furnace]

Are you using the name instead of the key?

[stiff locust]

i was using the key yes

[rough furnace]

Were the cards you looking for debuffed?

[stiff locust]

nope

i had one joker, it was the one i was searching for, and smods.find_card simply did not run

[rough furnace]

I've never had issues with it

[stiff locust]

it has never worked for me

not once

[rough furnace]

What key did you use?

[stiff locust]

j_fuseforce_powerpop

and I tried using it for splash in my mod

[rough furnace]

And you sue that your prefix is right?

[stiff locust]

yes

[rough furnace]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stiff locust]

it didn't work for holy water in my mod either

[rough furnace]

Works fine here for me https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/JamMod/blob/master/lovely.toml#L24

[stiff locust]

i'm going to update steamodded and hope all the problems magically go away

if they don't, i'm suing

[rough furnace]

And https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/JamMod/blob/master/lovely.toml#L47

[stiff locust]

do you know why this happens though

[rough furnace]

Not sure but that seems like a bug

Or maybe just a missing feature

[stiff locust]

well that's annoying

[rough furnace]

@edgy reef the payout api is your domain right?

[edgy reef]

I wouldn't say "payout API" since that got nuked but yeah I know how the ceashout screen works.

[rough furnace]

Oh well that shows how much I know

[edgy reef]

It takes the raw text of an object and applies it's own color.

[stiff locust]

is there a way i can make it not show the color tag

on cashout

[edgy reef]

Make a patch on this line (in common_events.lua) before highlighted text that check for config.card and config.card.config.center.key == 'j_joker_key', with the same code in the if check except type = 'name_text' is switched to type = 'name'.

I think everything else should be fine?

[stiff locust]

uhhh

you lost me at the type = name_text part

ohhhhhh wait

i think i get it hold on

[edgy reef]

oh wait this wouldn't work cause then localize return a DynaText

[stiff locust]

oh

so what do we do doc

[edgy reef]

ok scratch this, new idea

Have your joker name without color text localized in G.localization.misc.dictionary

[edgy reef]

Follow the same steps here, but instead change the entire localize part with localize('noncolored_joker_name_key')

[stiff locust]

how do i make multiple patches in one lovely.toml file

do I need to redo the manifest section or just everything below patches.pattern or what

[tepid crow]

Only the patches.pattern part

[stiff locust]

okay

[tepid crow]

Just look at what other mods (or steamodded) do

[stiff locust]

i don't expect this to work first try

it panicked

and died

yeah i don't know how to make multiple patches

figured it out

it crashed

[shell condor]

how would one go about making a playing card enhancement that makes the card copy all the attributes of the card to the right? have been trying to retrofit how blueprint works but im missing a key step somewhere

[stiff locust]

you're
missing the entire blueprint function

you're just assigning the card to the right to a variable that doesn't do anything

[normal crest]

By attributes do you mean enhancements and seals?

[shell condor]

ideally id want to copy the ENTIRE card to the right, basically a playing card blueprint

[stiff locust]

(also you should probably have a check for if the card is the rightmost, or it might crash if you try to reference i + 1 when it's the last index)

[shell condor]

it current just returns nil if its rightmost but yes good idea

[normal crest]

So copy rank, suit, enhancement, edition and seal

[shell condor]

i know it doesnt have actual copy code yet, but thats because i dont know how to copy aspects of a playing card

the internal structure of a playing card is not somehting im yet familiar with

[shell condor]

ive tried retrofitting this once already but it crashes because playing cards dont have a calculate function, so i'm just like... yeah, trying to figure out how to get what i need by the time its time to score

[stiff locust]

if you want the card to act as the rank of the card to its right you'll have to do some stuff when the card is highlighted i think

there's a cursed tarot in dx-tarots that makes wildcards copy the rank of the card to their right, look at that

#1226210957253017691

[stiff locust]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]

match_indent = true

i think i followed the instructions right?

but it's crashing

so /shrug

[normal crest]

i'm not sure how to achieve what you want, but you might want to take a look at eval_card in common_events.lua in the game code

[shell condor]

funny thing, i just thought to try that

im gonna try as we speak

[edgy reef]

For one, localize needs to be parenthesis, not curly brackets.

[stiff locust]

it was curly brackets when i copy pasted it

[edgy reef]

Second, the crash above is from failing a version check not from this

[shell condor]

aw, no dice, at least not how i wrote it. gonna try a couple different configurations of it

[normal crest]

How'd you write it

[normal crest]

try returning that

[shell condor]

maybe call it like other_card:eval_card?

ohhh

OH TRUE

[normal crest]

actually nvm, it's an enhancement

[stiff locust]

oh

well I did just update steamodded

like an hour ago

do I roll back version or what

[shell condor]

yeah, sad :( theres a couple different strands of this thread i can try so its not a dead end quite yet

[normal crest]

Wait

[shell condor]

?

[normal crest]

Store the return value of eval_card and manually set the values on the effect table

[shell condor]

.....

[normal crest]

that's my idea anyway, good luck

[supple folio]

Can anyone explain to me what copier is in the Consumable.use function?

[normal crest]

copier seems to never be used in the game

[supple folio]

It's in mod code for consumables, but I'm not sure why. things like this:

I guess I won't worry too much about it

[normal crest]

it's used like that in the game as well, but the function is never called with a 2nd parameter

looks like some kind of blueprint for consumables

[cinder elk]

THERE'S LIKE A WHOLE SPREADSHEET???

[supple folio]

There's documentation, yeah

on the wiki

[normal crest]

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

[supple folio]

^^

[normal crest]

And these are on the SMODS.Center page

[normal crest]

I guess if you want to be safe use copier or card instead in situations where you'd use card

[supple folio]

ye

that's what I'll probably do

[wintry solar]

I think copier is some remnants of old thunk code

[edgy reef]

It's never used

[shell condor]

so i've encountered a new problem... self, card, context, and effect in this function are all fed in as nil.
somehow.

so i literally cant get anything done in this function, and i dont know why its suddenly all nil

[rough furnace]

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

[shell condor]

i know printing things out can be a bit weird in lua, but as far as i can tell i cant get any info out anywhere in here

[rough furnace]

lovely is broken when printing tables rn

@gaunt thistle is that fixed in source rn

[shell condor]

ohh, thats why. lovely

[rough furnace]

DebugPlus shows it properly

or you can wrap the table in tprint or inspect for more info

[shell condor]

yeah... how do i print things to debugplus instead of the lovely console

[gaunt thistle]

lua doesn't have a native way of printing tables, so lovely likely won't either

[rough furnace]

it intercepts the console

[shell condor]

i havent actually figured that one out

[gaunt thistle]

debugplus is the way to do it

[stiff locust]

yeah i was just gonna say there's a tprint function for printing tables
print(tprint(table))

[rough furnace]

At lwast do the table string

[stiff locust]

in balatro

[rough furnace]

instead of nil

if you really want there is https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/docs/dev.md#logging

[gaunt thistle]

I merged a PR which uses lua's tostring() function instead of lual_tolstring, so that should improve functionality

[rough furnace]

but for dev I just use print

[gaunt thistle]

that'll be in 0.7.0

[rough furnace]

ok that should be good

[shell condor]

no like i have it, but whenever i try to print, it goes straight through to lovely

[rough furnace]

(thats what DebugPlus does)

check your config

[gaunt thistle]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/commit/93e03714af0a2f1dc6f81dd205ea5908f729e854

[rough furnace]

you might have only show commands checked

[stiff locust]

ctrl + / should bring up the funny debugplus console

[rough furnace]

(just /)

[stiff locust]

oh right ctrl + / is what changes it showing up when there's a new entry

right

[rough furnace]

oh change the log level to info

[shell condor]

OH

OH ITS A

THRESHOLD

NOT A LIMIT

i am stupid.

[rough furnace]

well its you get all the ones to the right of your option as well

maybe I should flip the level so Debug is the right one and error is the left

[shell condor]

my GOD this makes life so much easier

okay now i have tprint

awesome

ty

[rough furnace]

I will probably make an option to format tables in the future when just printed

but I need to adjust my table printer first

[gaunt thistle]

I could also theoretically implement it in lovely but I really want to avoid any bloat

it's the sorta thing that should be vendored out to an actually good library like debugplus

[rough furnace]

Yeah plus you doing it won't effect DebugPlus logs whereas me doing it will effect lovely logs

[supple folio]

Is it possible to make soul-type cards that can replace jokers?

Just had a random thought

[nocturne garnet]

wym

like black hole and soul?

but for jokers?

[supple folio]

yes

Like, there's a chance for a specific spectral to replace a joker in a pack or something

[nocturne garnet]

yeah thats possible

[supple folio]

Cool

[nocturne garnet]

and has been done before

:3

[supple folio]

I'll have to play around with it

Thank you!

[wintry solar]

Results are in for this calculation!

Retrigger API 68 seconds

Better Calc 2 42 seconds

🎉 🎉 🎉

[shell condor]

i feel like im so close to getting this working, but whenever it tries to play this card this error happens

its not pointing back to anywhere in my code in the stack trace

not obviously, at least

[rough furnace]

I'm curious what's the times like before the new talisman change (the calculating screen)

[livid tapir]

i like lua sorta but the way it prints errors is so unreadable and stupid 😭

[hardy viper]

the only overhead calculation screen adds is GC which is necessary

[rough furnace]

To be fair the error handler is part of smods

[rough furnace]

Well there's some more overhead for stiff running each frame

[hardy viper]

but yeah with GC overhead excluded it's probably a much bigger improvement than it seems

[rough furnace]

Like I believe joker display causes more delay with the clacuating screen

[livid tapir]

oh
then i redirect my anger at smods

[hardy viper]

well yeah

marginal

[wintry solar]

I think updating the chip display should be turned off too

[rough furnace]

Redirect it to me cause I am the guy who made it

[livid tapir]

oh

[rough furnace]

And I'm the guy with the knowledge to fix it

[livid tapir]

wait really

[hardy viper]

overhead of calculation screen is ~40% of total iirc

[gaunt thistle]

fight fight fight fight

[rough furnace]

Well it's based off the love default handler

[hardy viper]

(of course this varies)

[rough furnace]

And stacktraceplus

[wintry solar]

40% seems like a significant amount, is there no way to reduce that down whilst still having some sort of visual progress?

[livid tapir]

then wtf is going on here please help 💀
the joker is supposed to destroy joker to the left of it, and then create a random joker of the same rarity
but it does absulotely nothing

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'jolot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Joker Lottery',
        text = {
            "Destroy joker to left of this card,",
            "create a random joker of the same rarity"
        }
    },
    rarity = 3,
    atlas = 'atlas',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 2,
    config = { extra = { leftc = nil } },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            for i = 2, #G.joker.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    card.ability.extra.leftc = G.jokers.cards[i-1]
                end
            end
        end
        if not card.ability.extra.leftc then
            return false
        else
            card.ability.extra.leftc:start_dissolve()
            SMODS.create_card({
                set = 'Joker',
                area = G.jokers,
                rarity = card.ability.extra.leftc.rarity
            })
        end
    end
}
``` im guessing its something with the for statement (`for i = 2, #G.joker.cards do`)
WAIT
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS
i swear
i swear if its just that i forgot the s in jokers in the for statement

[hardy viper]

again it's mostly completely necessary gc overhead

go yell at Mike Pall if you want the luajit garbage collector to be better

[wintry solar]

fair enough in that case

I guess the alternative without it is you just run out of memory

[hardy viper]

ya

you know what

[rough furnace]

Yeah probably the best optimization at this point is to make less garbage and calculate less stuff

[hardy viper]

now that i think about it you could probably build a very efficient garbage collector targeted towards scoring

[livid tapir]

ok well it just crashes on launch
imma try my older code and change the .jokers thing

[hardy viper]

yeah we could definitely this actually

[wintry solar]

I've calculated less stuff!

[livid tapir]

nvm

[rough furnace]

Wonder if we can reuse memory somehow

[wintry solar]

I shaved nearly 40% off that calc

[rough furnace]

Nice

I was thinking if it would somehow be possible to load the game in a thread headless then save the game, send the dabe to the thread, load it and then calculate in the background

Would allow a stable fps and could be used for like divvys preview as a backend too

[gaunt thistle]

eg. a game process whose sole job is to do calculations?

[thorny adder]

Happy new year from france 🎊

:)

[honest fulcrum]

I'm pretty new, how can I use lovely to create a flag for a joker? (i.e. winning a boss blind with it). This is what I have now, but the variable doesn't seem to exist

[gaunt thistle]

you should look into achieving that with smods before you go for lovely

[honest fulcrum]

how so? I've looked through documentation and I'm not sure how I would keep track of that. I guess I should've specified that I want to keep track of this flag after the joker is gone (like Gros Michel)

nvm I found an example, thanks.

[maiden river]

finally finished my modpack

all five jokers now work as intended 👍🏿

[proper relic]

How can I modify the amount of chips needed to beat a blind? I was trying to take info from Mr. Bones but it doesn't seem to recognize G.GAME.blind as an actual value.

G.GAME.blind.chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips * percent)
G.GAME.blind.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)```

[hardy viper]

i wonder if we could multithread like this too. like, we could avoid conflicts by requiring mods to supply the things they affect, and that would eliminate the risk of misordering issues

[frosty dock]

G.GAME.blind.blind

[honest fulcrum]

Nice, what are you calling it?

[proper relic]

Oh my goodness i'm stupid, thank you lmao

[teal estuary]

could that also be used to find out id you overshoot the blind score?

[maiden river]

Minima, since all the cards have a sort of minimal design

[proper relic]

I would assume so, G.GAME.blind.chips is the amount you have to achieve and i think G.GAME.chips holds how many chips you currently have

[teal estuary]

ty ty

[sturdy compass]

Now this is just silly

Part of an effect of a Joker I made called "Refrigerator" that makes food jokers degade half as fast

[radiant halo]

i gotta ask, to do that did you have to overwrite every food joker individually?

[sturdy compass]

...maybe

[radiant halo]

nice

im in the same boat lmao

[sturdy compass]

A necessary evil

[radiant halo]

how did you prevent your mod name from showing up on the modified jokers tho?

[sturdy compass]

I didn't take ownership of the jokers, I injected my changes with Lovely patches

[stiff locust]

couldn't you just

search for the joker

and change its values manually if it's in the joker slots...

you don't need a lovely patch or anything

[radiant halo]

ah, thats a bit too complex for me rn

[stiff locust]

refrigerator could do it self contained

[sturdy compass]

If I do that then the description wouldn't show up properly in shops or collections or etc.

[stiff locust]

why would it show up halved in the collection that doesn't make sense

you can check the jokers that are in the shops and they have values set you can change

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/megamind-presentation-cool-dramatic-behold-gif-4559759

[stiff locust]

just check it again when you reroll

[sturdy compass]

Descriptions in collections do change during runs and I wanted to keep that consistent

Thus here we are

[sturdy compass]

tbh I thought the same thing before I started doing them but they're honestly not that bad

[radiant halo]

i mean i literally started yesterday, im sure i can get there eventually

im also learning lua at the same time

[stiff locust]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua use this

example mod with joker stuffs in it

very useful tool

[radiant halo]

i am dw

[stiff locust]

good

they also have an edition example mod

[sturdy compass]

Me too lol

[stiff locust]

and one for seals

[radiant halo]

it doesnt have any examples for take_ownship though which im struggling with a bit

[stiff locust]

take_ownership is really simple

it has two arguments

the first one being the key of the thing you wanna take

like j_splash for splash as an example

the second one being a table

this table should contain everything you want to replace

this is pretty simple when changing things like the name which are just variables but

if you wanna change the calculate function for example, which is usually why you're using the function in the first place

you need to replace the entire calculate function

so first just copy paste the calculate function from the other joker, and then change what you want to change

[radiant halo]

yeah thats the main part thats tricky

[stiff locust]

i'm gonna take ownership on splash solely to put my mod badge on it

[radiant halo]

rn im trying to take_ownership of obelisk to make it trigger on most played hand instead, but for whatever reason it still executes the original code on top of my code

[stiff locust]

okay well first of all

jimball from cryptid already does that

second I do not support overwriting obelisk to make it "good" it's a joker for pivoting i think it should be changed to uncommon but not have its function changed

i'm not really sure why you'd do this with take_ownership when you can make a new joker?

[radiant halo]

ok specifically it keeps its normal functionality but changes to upgrade on most played hand if another joker is in the inventory

[sturdy compass]

I second this ngl

[sturdy compass]

this i mean

[stiff locust]

yeah the problem with obelisk is just that it's too rare

[radiant halo]

im not just changing it outright

[stiff locust]

yeah this code doesn't

do anything.

also

[radiant halo]

wym it doesnt do anything

i mean rn its breaking obelisk but its doing stuff

[stiff locust]

what does it do now

[radiant halo]

if monolith isnt in hand it works as normal but scales twice as fast, if monolith is in hand then it works the same but always says "reset" when most played hand is player, even is mult is at X1

[stiff locust]

wouldn't it be like

way easier to just

[radiant halo]

heres the vanilla code for reference

[stiff locust]

put one if statement that checks if monolith is there

and then write the full code the way it should act if monolith is there

and then put the vanilla code in the else

that sounds like it'd be much easier and would probably indirectly solve your problem

[radiant halo]

probably tbh, lemme try

trying this, still scales twice as fast

and monolith does nothing

im really stumped

i think it might be cause like, when it gets upgraded it doesn't actually return anything

unlike something like runner which gives an "upgraded" message

ok yeah when i put a retrun {} after the mult upgrade it scales correctly, but the joker does a little juice up with no msg and looks awkward

[lyric urchin]

Hi, how can I get a card to count as any suit?

[radiant halo]

under what contexts? like any card at any time?

[hardy viper]

return {
 message = localize("k_upgrade"),
card = card
}

[wintry solar]

oh man I can't wait for the death of card = card

[hardy viper]

so true

[radiant halo]

yeah thats what i did for now, i dont really like it cause obelisk usually doesn't give an upgraded msg and I don't want to change base joker functionality

but it works

[hardy viper]

i mean it'll work without the return

it just won't give a message

[radiant halo]

yeah but it still does the like, little juice up effect, just with no text

[hardy viper]

if you return nothing it won't do that

[radiant halo]

uhh

[hardy viper]

if you return a blank table (which is something) yeah it might juice itself

[radiant halo]

i mean it did with return {}

oh like nil?

[hardy viper]

{} is not a falsy value

[proper relic]

You mean as an enhancement? I'm pretty sure just add any_suit = true to it

[hardy viper]

 return
end```
is valid code

[radiant halo]

i assumed that would bug out tbh

[hardy viper]

naw

it's treated the same as returning nil

even though nothing doesn't exist in lua

[lyric urchin]

More like the smeared joker

But thank you anyway

[radiant halo]

ok this is making it scale twice as fast again

[hardy viper]

ah i get it

essentially obelisk behavior is defined explicitly in the vanilla calculate_joker code, so taking over calculate doesn't erase the vanilla behavior

you can use a lovely patch to remove that behavior

[radiant halo]

i was fearing that was the answer..

[hardy viper]

i mean

it's not too scary

[radiant halo]

i believe it

[hardy viper]

i don't remember toml syntax for patches anyways

i rarely need them and i just copy other people's code and edit the necessary fields

[proper relic]

You'd have to edit the code for the Card:is_suit() function I'm pretty sure, since you're basically just making smeared again and that's where smeared works. I'm not entirely sure how to use lovely patches but if you can figure it out, adding this right above both smeared joker parts should work.

if next(find_joker('YourJokerName')) then
  return true
end

[radiant halo]

i know its like as easy as subtraction, but im still learning addition lmao

[shell condor]

potentially dumb question, how do i add a custom enhancement to an existing card via a consumable? for the life of me i cant find how tarot cards like empress and tower do it

[lyric urchin]

Thank you a lot

[rough furnace]

I feel like it would probably be a better use of time to instead let modded calculate functions handle repititions once by passing them and then doing nath instead of recalculating them each time

[hardy viper]

that's for sure on the table as well

and yeah probably higher on our priorities

[radiant halo]

do you know if there's like a tutorial on making lovely patches for balatro anywhere?

[rough furnace]

I imagine it will insanely speed up calculations too

[hardy viper]

you can just look at someone else's patches and it should be evident what you have to change and how

there's a file path, a pattern (what you want to change), a place (whether you want to to be before, at, or after), and a payload

[radiant halo]

does cryptid use patches?

[hardy viper]

and all the other stuff is just filler basically

[hardy viper]

yes

[wintry solar]

better calc only calulates repititons that actually do something now

[radiant halo]

i dont know existing mods well tbh

[rough furnace]

That's good, but like do we really need to calcualge our +4 mult joker 1000 times instead of doing 4*1000

[wintry solar]

but you're going to have to do calculations to calculate retriggers anyway

[radiant halo]

ah it's its literally like, regex?

[wintry solar]

but I suppose you can just do the repetition contexts first and pass back the number

[rough furnace]

Find and replace basically

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[radiant halo]

awesome ty

[teal estuary]

oh shit is the calc 2.0 almost done?

[merry raven]

Holy shit it worked

Thank you so much for your help!!

Although people can peek in the deck, but it'll get harder when they get more Blinded cards

[zealous glen]

Nice. I had had an idea for a similar effect but I thought it wouldn't be difficult

So I thought about an effect that makes the next card drawn face-down

Since you know which ones have the effect but you don't know what's next

[zealous glen]

Also cool art :0

[merry raven]

Thanks! I'm not really good at art but I have a lot of ideas

[normal crest]

Love the 2nd from the first image

[zealous glen]

What do you mean "not good" lol

Those are awesome

[zealous glen]

Do you have effects for all of these?

[merry raven]

Nah they're just plain cards

[zealous glen]

Can I DM you

[merry raven]

Sure thing

[merry raven]

That's Jolt, when not played, it gains the total number of chips of each unplayed card (and also an additional +20% of each card's worth) and +5 Mult for each one

[frosty dock]

chat i just got done porting the currently most relevant balamod mod to steamodded (i saw 2 people use it in just one day)

[cold grotto]

when i was testing the steel joker code, for another joker i'm making, the smods version always seems to be one update behind, compared to the steel joker, am I potentially missing something to constantly update it?

[restive magnet]

question: i want my mod to do different things depending on what the ante is (music changes every 2 antes). i think i could make it work by shoving a bunch of G.GAME.round_resets.ante comparisons in the select_music_track return, but would it be possible to use if statements for each case?
right now im trying if (1 <= (G.GAME.round_resets.ante % 8)) and ((G.GAME.round_resets.ante % 8) <= 2) and its never true. it's also nested under a if (G.GAME) but i dont really know what G.GAME is

[frosty dock]

that looks like it should work, can I see the full function?

[restive magnet]

there are 7 of these smods.sound blocks per case

surely the problem isnt that i didnt save lol let me check

yeah its saved, doesnt work

[crisp coral]

it doesn't work because you're only creating the sound when you're ingame

and all those conds are false when the game launches

[rough furnace]

Oh yeah devs feedback on #1228149931257237664 message

[restive magnet]

how should i go about updating them

[frosty dock]

you should move the conditions into select_music_track

[restive magnet]

alright i figured that would work, its just messy

[frosty dock]

it's the way

else you're statically creating or not creating the data for the music when the game loads

[restive magnet]

lol

[frosty dock]

line breaks:

[rough furnace]

tbh I would do (G.GAME.round_resets.ante * 2) % 2 == 0

(the first 2 is the number of antes it takes to change and the second is the number of songs to choose from)

then the other song has the == 1

[restive magnet]

thats smarter thanks

upon further thought wouldnt that always be = 0

[frosty dock]

yes

[rough furnace]

I may be stupid

[radiant halo]

did...did localthunk accidentally leave in the "chip" part for each of these function names?

[rough furnace]

no your score is your chips so your mult would be your chip multiplier

[radiant halo]

oh ok thank god

[sturdy compass]

“Not really good at art” my guy you are COOKING

[rough furnace]

People be like "I'm not really good at art" and then don't see my art

[merry raven]

Lmaooo alright yeah I can draw abstract patterns and shapes but not faces and tangible objects

[teal estuary]

peak

[merry raven]

Absolutely peam

[random sleet]

HELLO???? PEAK??????

[merry raven]

One more but I don't know how to shade ice

[restive magnet]

I got this working and now the next thing i want to do is make it so music stops playing when you beat the boss blind where the music is going to change. i think i can use SMODS.Sound:create_stop_sound for this (or if not i can use a silent sound file) but i dont know what game condition to check for (the same one where the payout screen pops up). is there a list of game conditions somewhere? or a way to poll for them with debugplus?

[restive magnet]

new question: is there a way to do intro + loop music like how binding of isaac does it (intro plays once and then a separate sound file plays afterwards on loop)

brute forcing it with a long audio file is lame and makes for a large download

[hardy viper]

what's stopping you from playing the intro once and then playing the rest on loop

[sturdy compass]

Here's a fun one i just finished

[hardy viper]

fun fact you can do this naturally, within a very very small window

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/allstate-gotta-be-quicker-than-that-fishing-gif-11607646

[restive magnet]

how do i not loop something

[hardy viper]

i assume you play it and then stop playing it when it finishes

[restive magnet]

theres no flag for when an audio file finishes or anything

i could play an intro as a sound effect instead of music but then theres no way to make the looping part come after it, they would play at the same time

[hardy viper]

okay so let's say the intro music lasts 10 seconds
you wait 10 seconds after playing it
then play the other thing

[restive magnet]

all the music is handled within smods.sound, so i dont think thats possible

the issue is how do i play two audio files sequentually using smods.sound

[hardy viper]

i mean if you confine yourself to only what you can put inside an SMODS.Sound call then you can't do it yeah

but of course there's other things you can do

everything is entirely open to tinkering

[restive magnet]

im relying on it because it checks what to play every frame and i otherwise dont know how to really do anything that doesnt just run once when the game starts lol

[hardy viper]

well i wouldn't be able to help with this specific thing (especially because i can't get to my computer)

[weak depot]

do y'all know why this isn't working? it's just straight up not activating

deck.trigger_effect = function(self, args)
    if args.context == 'using_consumeable' and args.context.consumeable.ability.set == 'Planet' then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = "before",
            delay = 0.2,
            func = (function()
                --this is all jenlib stuff
                local low_hand = jl.lowhand()

                jl.th(low_hand)
                level_up_hand(self, low_hand, nil)
                jl.ch()
                sendInfoMessage("Upgraded lowest level hand", "Shellular's Deck of Cards")
                return true
            end)
        }))
    end
end

for reference, the deck is trying to level up your lowest level hand when you use a planet card

[livid tapir]

i just need to figure this out
theres gotta be some stupidly simple thing im missing here

im switching between versions of the joker and tweaking things, rn im tweaking my first attempt at making it

[hardy viper]

i assume you've fixed the #G.joker.cards already

[livid tapir]

yes, changed it to #G.jokers.cards and then #G.jokers (neither worked 💀

[hardy viper]

use the first one

[livid tapir]

ok

ok i made an update
lets see if it works

ok it worked in some way
but now uh
theres a lot of jokers
they arent taking up a slot

ig its just infinitely creating jokers now

heres the code

local left_card = nil

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'jolot',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Joker Lottery',
    text = {
      "Destroy joker to",
      "left of this card,",
      "create a random joker",
      "of the same rarity"
    }
  },
  rarity = 3,
  atlas = 'atlas',
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  cost = 2,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind then
      for i = #G.jokers.cards, 1, -1 do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
          local left_index = i - 1
          if left_index > 0 and G.jokers.cards[left_index] then
            left_card = G.jokers.cards[left_index]
            break
          end
        end
      end
    end

    if left_card ~= nil then
      left_card:start_dissolve()
      SMODS.create_card({
        set = 'Joker',
        area = G.jokers,
        rarity = left_card.rarity
      })
      left_card = nil
    end

    return true
  end
}

[hardy viper]

you need to emplace the card you create in G.jokers

[livid tapir]

isnt that what area does?

[hardy viper]

so G.jokers:emplace(card)

[hardy viper]

clearly not

[livid tapir]

hm

weird

but how do i identify the SMODS.create_card thing that i did in emplace

[hardy viper]

it returns the card it created

[livid tapir]

so i cut that function (SMODS.create_card) into the emplace function?

[hardy viper]

you can do that or you can assign the card you create to a variable

they are functionally equivalent

outside of technical things

[livid tapir]

so this would work

[hardy viper]

yes

most people wouldn't do it like that though

mostly because you also need to call card:add_to_deck()

[livid tapir]

well i do whatever dumbass stuff works lol (probably why most of my code always has issues)

[hardy viper]

potentially

[livid tapir]

'for' limit must be a number
lemme check

[hardy viper]

improper return in your calculation function

[livid tapir]

thats confusing

oh return true

thats bads

[hardy viper]

show full code

ideally

[livid tapir]

ok

``` its not much else

ya

you're right do not return true

[livid tapir]

ok ty

lemme try it now

ok now it does nothing

pluh

prob me using the stupidest way of emplacing

[livid tapir]

what about this instead

for the emplacing

wait

has to have local

[hardy viper]

yea

[livid tapir]

here

now is that good

[hardy viper]

call new_card:add_to_deck() after emplacing

other than that yeah it's good

[livid tapir]

ok

[hardy viper]

contrary to what the name says it has nothing to do with putting a card in your deck

[livid tapir]

ok cool

so this

[hardy viper]

yup

[livid tapir]

ok imma test it

does nothing
lemme show the full updated code

[hardy viper]

you're saying it's not crashing?

it's just not doing anything?

[livid tapir]

yea it aint crashing, just isnt doing anything (seemingly, dont have any debug things)
i have a mad joker to the left of the joker lottery and when i play a hand, mad joker just does its thing and nothing else happens

[hardy viper]

you're checking for context.setting_blind

so yeah it won't do anything when you play a hand

[livid tapir]

OH WAIT
I FROGOT TO CHANGE THAT AFTER GOING BACK TO OLD CODE

[hardy viper]

and when you set a blind it'll crash saying "attempt to index a nil value" because you undefine left_card and immediately try to index it

[livid tapir]

so it needs to be joker_main right

[livid tapir]

oh yea

i gotta fix that lemme uh

there we go, moved left_card = nil to right after the create_card

now lemme test

IT WORKED
but it did a weird thing (im not very sure what)
this is the result

[hardy viper]

you can also just not do that

it'll get garbage collected

[livid tapir]

oh yea
i could ngl

[hardy viper]

oh wait nvm why are you defining that as a global

define it as a local that's in scope during the whole function

[livid tapir]

its not defined, its changed (if thats what you mean)
before the joker i did local left_card = nil

though i could just do local right there

[hardy viper]

oh i see

[livid tapir]

in the function

[hardy viper]

yeah that's traditionally better

[livid tapir]

like this

[hardy viper]

naw that's not in scope

[livid tapir]

oh yea it aint

[hardy viper]

also you can do local varname as a shorthand for local varname = nil

[livid tapir]

so should i do local left_card as first line for the calculate function or just put it outside like i did before

[hardy viper]

first one

[livid tapir]

ok

IT WORKED IT WORKED IT WORKED LETS GOOO

that normal joker got me a Cloud 9

tysm for the help

[hardy viper]

nice

[livid tapir]

i couldnt have done it without you

[merry raven]

Is there a way I can overlay a sprite on top of a card (including the swiveling movement when you move your cursor on top of a card)? This is entirely separate from an Edition, Seal or Enhancement

[livid tapir]

though it was uncommon instead of common but im sure i can figure out that little issue

[obsidian fjord]

Is there a way I can disable all vanilla jokers from showing up in the shop and only load my mod's jokers?

[random sleet]

card sprites are already composite, so patching in an additional sprite should be possible
the front (suit/rank) and center (enhancement) are two different sprites, as well as seals and such. a lovely patch or twelve can probably do the trick

[merry raven]

Oh man a lovely patch? Maaan I don't know how to write those
What function or code do I get from the source code to make a patch with? There's set_seal in card.lua, set_sprites too, etc.

[livid tapir]

ok i think that was a one time bug cuz now its doing it just fine

ok nope

did an uncommon and got common

[wintry solar]

You’ll want to look in Card:draw() to where there’s a big long if chain of editions, seals, floating sprites. I’d recommend copying the seal block and modifying it for your new sprite, and then you need to figure out where in the layering you want your sprite

[merry raven]

This one?

[wintry solar]

That’s the one but you’ll want to look at the lovely dumps instead

[random sleet]

i noticed theres a spectrum mod now so i made my mod support it

[merry raven]

Ah right, cheers, but I don't see any difference between the source code and the lovely dump except for the LOVELY_INTEGRITY

[wintry solar]

Huh, I was sure there were changes

[random sleet]

if a file is dumped then there is a change

it doesnt dump unchanged files

[merry raven]

Ah I see

[random sleet]

(the text looks so funny being this tiny haha)

[merry raven]

It seems like they are used to add existing seals, editions and stickers
But I do want to add a layer without clashing with them, if my layer is considered a seal in the backend then the card with the layer can't take in any other seals

[wintry solar]

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

[crisp coral]

sounds like a new card modifier type

[merry raven]

It's a custom Boss Blind mechanic, a new modifier type that only appears in them

[merry raven]

Yep exactly it

[wintry solar]

Then yeah, you don’t want to use seals

[merry raven]

What should I go for, somehow create a brand new card modifier type, or use some other modifier as a foundation besides seals?

[crisp coral]

former

[merry raven]

I see

Oh boy where do I start, closest thing I can find rn is SMODS.ObjectType

[wintry solar]

You could always use stickers

The calc is a bit jank right now though
-# better calc 2 pls

[merry raven]

I haven't played Balatro that religiously yet, do hand cards support stickers
I know Jokers do

[spring lantern]

swag

[livid tapir]

yall know how to get a card's rarity?

[spiral stirrup]

I would assume Baseball Card's code would have that in there somewhere

[wintry solar]

They do but like I said, the calc is a little jank

[spiral stirrup]

okay yeah Baseball Card checks it by using context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == 2

[livid tapir]

tysm
so
context.left_card.config.center.rarity?

[spring lantern]

quick question where can i find all the values that context provides

[merry raven]

I actually don't plan to do calculations on it, it sort of acts like a flag on the card and that's it
For my idea of a Boss Blind, it will mark random cards for destruction, and this sticker will be the mark, the card will be destroyed after 2 played hands unless there's a mechanic you have to do

[livid tapir]

hm

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

[obsidian fjord]

I've tried banned_keys and no_pool_flag and both just result in the shop being filled with just j_joker

[obsidian fjord]

You would want to just do left_card.config.center.rarity

[livid tapir]

ok

[random sleet]

so the less than obvious issue with disabling every vanilla joker is that you need to have a joker of every rarity or else suffer the jimbo

and keep in mind that any jokers you currently possess are removed from the pool

[spring lantern]

i'm trying to get the chip count for the current hand so a joker can apply a multiplier to it but i don't know how to access it

[obsidian fjord]

Ohh right that actually makes sense

Oh this is a deck modifier so hopefully none of the vanilla jokers should even be possessed

[livid tapir]

ok so now im getting constant rares
and i know exactly why
so no worries
basically the rarity arg uses a stupid way of getting rarities
so imma need to make a simple thing to translate them

[random sleet]

if it tries to show you a rare joker but you have none, you get jimbo. same with uncommon and common as separate things.

[wintry solar]

You have to modify the pool function too

It’s certainly possible though

[spring lantern]

halp T^T

[random sleet]

theoretically you can just take_ownership every vanilla joker and add a yes_pool_flag that you never set

[random sleet]

    local val = self.ability.extra.mult * math.floor(hand_chips/self.ability.extra.conv)
    return {
        message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={val}},
        mult_mod = val
    }
end```
from my \:banana\: for Emojiokers (gives 3 mult per 15 chips on the current score when the joker is calculated) 🍌

[spring lantern]

oh thanks lmao

didn't know it was a global var i thought it came packaged with context

[random sleet]

yep lol

[spring lantern]

makes sense now that i think of it

[storm oar]

how can I make a joker that would make 6s specifically always score? id assume maybe i could look at splash but just modify the code to only work with 6s right?

[livid tapir]

fixed it by making two little functions and using them in the create card

so i think joker lottery is FINALLY done

im so proud seeing my idea come to life in balatro (peak game)
even if its a quite simple one

[merry raven]

Ayyyy that's sick

[obsidian fjord]

Oh my issue was I was also accidentally disabling my own jokers without realising it. Awesome. Lmfao

[livid tapir]

ill send the current mod (only one joker so far, will add more) tomorrow, for now i gtg to bed
happy new years yall!

[spring lantern]

happy new year!

I'm making an Enhancement that has a chance of returning to your hand when played (chance set to 1 just for debugging), it actually does return, but it comes back into the hand flipped, and unselectable, any insights?

[storm oar]

i think its just like card.facing or something like that

but its cause it flips
