I think so too since I believe that's a 0.9.8 only thing
hollow mortar
For context, I was hoping to just fix the one "file not found" error on this mod that Myst made ages ago, but it's clearly escalated past this
:(
tepid crow
ah
hollow mortar
I just want my little guy.
violet void
does anyone know why delay only delays the card_eval and not the loop? it keeps removing the debuffs instantly
hollow mortar
delay is just telling the code to breathe for that many seconds, right?
the delay is outside the loop, as well
violet void
its before the loop
orchid thunder
bump
violet void
yes, there is c.debuff = false which should remove the debuffs from the cards
and I want that to be timed correctly instead it happens instantly after playing the hand
(im in context.before)
hollow mortar
hmm
frosty dock
does anyone know why delay only delays the card_eval and not the loop? it keeps ...
juice_up uses events with is all delay respects
frosty dock
so you'd want to put the card_eval_status_text into an event
violet void
juice_up uses events with is all delay respects
ohh I see. makes sense
but the card_eval is already being delayed
you meant to say I should put the for in an event?
violet void
punched the entire hand into restoration lol
I made it rare and it happens every 8th played card 
livid tapir
lollol
violet void
so yeah, the for loop
it partially works, but the game doesnt register the cards being restored
wintry solar
well now it's in an event it happens after the score calc
violet void
even tho im in context.before?
wintry solar
yes
violet void
how would I fix that
wintry solar
do it not in an event
wintry solar
you might need to do some patch magic to keep the visual effects
violet void
I guess I'll keep it like this, kinda wanted the Joker and the cards to react at the same time tho

Yes
violet void
theres also context.cards_destroyed if you count glass shattering
zealous glen
it's also context.remove_playing_cards

i might make it X2 ... very common to have builds that have very few things involving probability i feel (or builds that have glass and not much else)
no idea though
weak depot
i feel like x2.5, maybe? it is a rare after all
zealous glen
I think we're removing it from ortalab
make more inverted Jokers that don't want to proc
wintry solar
I just don't think it's a very interesting design space - it leads to descriptions being unnecessarily convoluted and also it scales much quicker than oa6s
zealous glen
novel idea for probability affecting joker: 1 in 4 becomes 3 in 4

how so
wintry solar
say you want an effect to happen 1 in 10, to encourage usage of oops all 1s you set it as 9 in 10 to not happen.
With oa6s, 1 in 10 becomes 2 in 10
With wa1s, 9 in 10 becomes 9 in 20
violet void
definitely convulted
granite plover
How do I make a joker do this effect? (You get 2 Mult for every face card played, you lose 2 random cards from your hand after a hand is played)
carmine burrow
say you want an effect to happen `1 in 10`, to encourage usage of oops all 1s yo...
does that mean that every probability becomes a little over 50%?
like cavendish would be 1001 in 2000 to get destroyed?
wintry solar
if cavendish was 1999/2000 to not destroy yeah
carmine burrow
while it'd be really hard to program i think a more interesting probability-affecting joker would be to make listed-probability events occur at predictable intervals
i.e. wheel of fortune triggers on the 4th, 8th, etc. uses, gros michel is destroyed after exactly 6 rounds, etc etc
wintry solar
absolute pain in the arse to program and has zero compatability with modded items
carmine burrow
yeah that is the problem
carmine burrow
you wouldn't be able to make it compatible w/ other mods at all most likely
for a counter to work, pseudorandom would need to know exactly what the probability was beforehand
rather than just generate a random number between 0 and 1
violet void
could make it always return 1 every x times
carmine burrow
for a counter to work, `pseudorandom` would need to know exactly what the probab...
...well maybe you could assume that the random seeds always use the same key as the jokers, have pseudorandom always search for a joker w/ the same key as the seed, and if one is found look for its odds variable in ability.extra
but that would literally never work
violet void
altho pseudorandom is used in a lot of places like deciding the joker rarity in the shop
carmine burrow
yeah
violet void
so it would guarantee a rare in that case
violet void
also it only takes 1 mod to use <0.25 as success for the joker to fail
yeah too complicated
carmine burrow
...well maybe you could assume that the random seeds always use the same key as ...
i.e. when pseudorandom gets the seed wheel_of_fortune, it
- looks for centers w/ keys containing the text
wheel_of_fortune, see that Wheel of Fortune'sextrais set to 4 - it stores the seed
wheel_of_fortunein some table and sets a counter associated w/ the seed to 0 - each subsequent time the
wheel_of_fortuneseed is used, the counter is increased by 1 and pseudorandom returns the counter divided by the odds
and it would do Not This when the seed doesn't match any centers
but yeah, this wouldn't work
for many reasons
carmine burrow
say you want an effect to happen `1 in 10`, to encourage usage of oops all 1s yo...
this would probably be hard to program & make compatible w/ mods as well... can't just change G.GAME.probabilities.normal like oops does
frosty dock
the seed gets put through pseudoseed, so you'd need some way to reverse that to get the wheel_of_fortune seed at all
carmine burrow
oh right!!
i mean there is an easy workaround which is just to make pseudoseed return two values and make pseudorandom take another argument
frosty dock
wait nvm the pseudorandom call doesn't get pseudoseeded there even though it can
i was looking at it selecting the card
however these are the same seed
carmine burrow
i guess if it uses the same seed for selecting the card then the idea's doomed from the start lmao

Does granting money work differently in Enhancements compared to Jokers?

you should probably just copy the entire source for that from either ortalab or cardsleeves at that point

add_card emplaces the card and also applies add_to_deck

stiff locust
you make a file called lovely.toml and it goes in your mod folder

Do I just add context.destroying_card inside the if case?

and these patches do what? change game functions?
stiff locust
Do I just add `context.destroying_card` inside the if case?
I have no idea I don't destroy cards yet
stiff locust
and these patches do what? change game functions?
inject code into balatro
for an example
splash's effect is hard coded
the game checks if you have the splash joker and then executes the effect
you can't really replicate that in the calculate function of another joker without crashing (someone will now proceed to correct me on this) but you can lovely patch it
livid tapir
inject code into balatro
isnt that kinda what the mod itself does or am i missing smth
stiff locust
adding code to that area that checks for splash or other jokers
stiff locust
isnt that kinda what the mod itself does or am i missing smth
well, yes and no
mods add new self-contained code
a lovely patch lets you put code in really specific places that you really need it to be in
like in a function the game only runs one time
wooden nexus
livid tapir
ah ok
so like if you wanted to add something to a game function
stiff locust
well no
in that case, you'd hook the function
basically you make the game run your version of the function, which contains an extra bit of code
and then run the actual function inside that so nothing breaks
but that only works on functions that are run a lot
livid tapir
can you please help me understand whats going on here?

maybe its left_card.key?
stiff locust
that's what I said

espeically instead of Splash
karmic kelp
also under what conditions would this rerolling be happening
stiff locust
I don't see where Showman, Mr. Bones, or Chicot come in
they're not similar effect or build wise, they're just similar in that they're in the group of "utility jokers" that don't directly give mult or chips and contribute unique effects
which
fucking sucks when all of these are build-specific
karmic kelp
in that case, where's Luchador? or is he in "on sell"
stiff locust
if you have one that already fits your build you wouldn't want any of the other options
gilded narwhal
also under what conditions would this rerolling be happening
End of every ante as a part of one of the possible b-side erratic effects
karmic kelp
I feel like this needs me knowing about what erratic effects are and I have no idea what those are
stiff locust
some of them are positive and some of them are negative
it selects 3 of 7
and some of them are REALLY dumb no offense to survival
like this one is just an instant reset
no sane person plays through a run where you don't get to keep any joker for more than 1 ante

I'm trying to learn how to use the lovely injector and I'm confused about a few things, if anyone could clear them up for me i would appreciate it
- How much do i have to worry about "priority"? (for both lovely and json files)
- I assume I'm able to use the entire SMODS api with it?
- what's the purpose of the dump folder? Is that what the code looks like after the patches?
sturdy compass
I can confirm 2 and 3 are correct. 1 I am not sure
radiant halo
ty
i took a look in the cryptid code and they only use priority 0 so i assume its not that important
livid tapir
config.center_key it is
guess what
i am the stupidest person alive (if you dont count babies and toddlers)
basically it is config.center_key
but fsr i was doing add_joker({joker = left_card.config.center_key}) instead of add_joker(left_card.config.center_key)
so uh doubled joker works now
and it does indeed remove one joker slot
merry raven
Epic
livid tapir
i do want to make it so that it will only remove a joker slot as long as it exists in the area instead of just permanently
which is prob an easy thing to do
ok theres still smth i gotta fix
uh it still adds a copy even if theres no room so
easy fix tho
sturdy compass
I am very confused right now. I'm injecting this patch into the use code for Familiar/Grim/Incantation but it's still producing the vanilla functionality. I even checked the dump and it looks good there
It's not even sending debug messages to console

How would you go about a joker retriggering the first played card? I made this method (likely poorly written) but it just crashes when its supposed to run cause it failed calling an event called "Juice Up"

nova finch
how would I make a joker that does something if a flush is a certain suit?
faint yacht
Detect if a Flush is made... then iterate through scored cards and count how many are of the desired suit. If they match the length of the scored hand (5... or 4 with Four Fingers), do stuff then.
storm oar
a flush though would always be the same suit unless wild cards are used
so unless you want to exclude wild cards then you can just check the suit of the first non-wild card instead of the suit of every card
nova finch
a flush though would always be the same suit unless wild cards are used
I'm looking for if the flush is all a certain suit (all diamonds, all hearts, all clubs, all spades) and if it's all that suit the joker will trigger

do you want it to consider wild cards as the original suit of the card though or treat them like any?
nova finch

so then yeah you can just check if the hand is a flush and check the suit of the first non-wild card, or if its all wilds then just do whatever effect
nova finch
k. thank you
sturdy compass
I take it you’re making Jokers for each type of flush?
storm oar
also, with four fingers is a flush 4 a thing?
sturdy compass
I think it just classifies as a flush

id say to do

oh btw
how do i make a function in a joker that is only triggered once the joker leaves G.jokers
like if it is sold or destroyed itll trigger a function
normal crest
I've encountered that same situation, my solution was to hook into CardArea:remove_card and check that the area is the jokers one
livid tapir
?
how do i hook into CardArea:remove_card
bc i dont know much lua so hooking is new to me
oh i see
normal crest
I wish I could write some example but I'm on phone
Hooking is basically adding your own code to a vanilla function
livid tapir
so smth like
local removecardOG = CardArea.remove_card
function CardArea:remove_card(card, ...)
if card.key == 'doubledJoker' --[[ thats the name of my joker ]] then
if card.ability.extra.slot_removed then
G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
end
end
return removecardOG(self, card, ...)
end
```?Yeah that's pretty much it, all you need to change is card.key to card.config.center_key == 'j_prefix_keu' where prefix is your mod prefix and key is your joker key
livid tapir
whats a mod prefix, the mod_id?
normal crest
If you're using headers the mod prefix is the first 4 characters of your mod id
But you can change the prefix
I'd recommend to make it the same as your mod id
normal crest
by default yeah, but you can change it
livid tapir
so MOD_PREFIX
normal crest
I think it's just PREFIX
livid tapir

You should look at card.lua in the set ability function I think
storm oar
is adding stuff directly to .ability for cards an issue?
like for example for the cards from the previous run with the reincarnation afterlife voucher in my mod i add card.ability.reincarnated directly to each card that's carried over
i haven't noticed any issues so far but if there's any i probably should change it
normal crest
Can you send a ss of the set ability function where it defines self.ability
radiant halo
uhh
i guess line 316???
does that even do anything?
i guess it would be {} if theres no ability
normal crest
yes, you can see how it specifically copies some values to the ability table
If you were to add custom ones in the config table this would not take them into account
But extra copies the entire table
radiant halo
i've been adding custom ones and its been working so idk
normal crest
called new_ability here
storm oar
ah so it only applies to config and not manually adding to .ability?
normal crest
ah so it only applies to config and not manually adding to .ability?
if set ability is called to, for example, change an edition those values would be lost
that's my understanding of it
storm oar
no?
radiant halo
when is set_ability actually called?
storm oar
set ability keeps the old ability table if it exists and just replaces values it looks like
if .ability doesnt exist it makes it as an empty table
wintry solar
You can manually add stuff afterwards
normal crest
uhhh, then I guess I also don't understand
radiant halo
...i think im getting it
wintry solar
Just initial creation only copies certain things
storm oar
so me doing card.ability.reincarnated = true is fine?
wintry solar
I’d have to recheck the save/load code
storm oar
it saves and loads properly
cause ive been able to exit runs and come back and the cards still have the border
radiant halo
doesn't the vanilla game only call set_ability on playing cards though?
normal crest
Maybe check wheel of fortune code
normal crest
So set ability is never called on jokers?
normal crest
Except for initial creation of course
radiant halo
if thats true then shouldnt my jokers with custom vars not in extra not work at all?
wintry solar
It’s called whenever the joker is created
radiant halo
like i got this and i can call on it just fine
wintry solar
Show your calculation code
radiant halo
aight one sec
normal crest
It’s called whenever the joker is created
In what scenarios is a joker created
wintry solar
In what scenarios is a joker created
In shops?
radiant halo
ok yeah if it gains an edition it still functions normally
at least via the debugplus mod
wintry solar
It happens multiple times in playing cards
normal crest
But for jokers only once
wintry solar
Unless you call it on them again yeah
radiant halo
It happens multiple times in playing cards
i guess to keep track of stuff like hiker buffs maybe?
wintry solar
Changing enhancements
normal crest
Hiker buff is perma_bonus I believe
radiant halo
yes ofc but whats with the saving of the h_mult and x_mult and all that
can playing cards even have those vars?
normal crest
They should
teal estuary
they can, or should
teal estuary
you can just.. give them those values
normal crest
If you have debug plus try looping through your hand with eval and log some ability value
wintry solar
Huh looks like smods copies the entire config table, has it always done that?
teal estuary
its not the same thing, but same principle
wintry solar
Enhancements
teal estuary
you can give playing cards extra values, and enhancements also give those cards those values
normal crest
Huh looks like smods copies the entire config table, has it always done that?
Idk man I'm like a week old in balatro modding
radiant halo
i mean the vars in ability not the function set_ability
radiant halo
i dont see it
radiant halo
its in common_events
normal crest
Close
radiant halo
we got there
teal estuary
good enough for a programmer
radiant halo
yeah it looks like it does access all the vars in abilitys but again, only really for cards in G.play or G.hand, aka playing cards
normal crest
Yeah eval card is for playing cards
radiant halo
not entirely
its got this part for jokers and planets/tarots
doesn't get any h_mult or anything though
normal crest
Wouldn't that be just mult
radiant halo
no mult is for playing the card
hold like steel cards and queens with that one joker
the +13 mult per queen held one
radiant halo
i mean yes but its the same principle
theres nothing that gives a card h_mult so idk when this code would be executed
normal crest
Go to Card:get_chip_h_mult
radiant halo
yea it just returns it's h_mult var
normal crest
Boring
radiant halo
im trying to find where it would get changed
wintry solar
Base game doesn’t use h_mult iirc
radiant halo
random sleet
iirc h_mult is just unused
normal crest
Boring once again
radiant halo
yeah shoot the moon (the queen joker) doesnt modify it
normal crest
we love unused code
random sleet
h_x_mult is used for steel cards iirc
it's probably just implemented for completion's sake really, though the lack of h_chips is annoying
normal crest
really easy to add anyway
wintry solar
It’ll be from an old effect that got changed most likely
normal crest
Like copier for use consumable
radiant halo
fun fact burnt joker increases your hand size by 0

can i use has_enhancement like this? It doesn't seem to be working
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.repetition then
if context.cardarea == G.play then
if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, G.P_CENTERS.m_cry_echo) then
try next(SMODS.has_enhancement(card, G.P_CENTERS.m_cry_echo))maybe
pine moss
Ill try both thank you
pine moss
try ```next(SMODS.has_enhancement(card, G.P_CENTERS.m_cry_echo))```maybe
Ok this crashed it instantly, ill try it as a string
normal crest
try ```next(SMODS.has_enhancement(card, G.P_CENTERS.m_cry_echo))```maybe
What does next do
wintry solar
Key is a string yeah
radiant halo
yeah it might be a string lol
wintry solar
The function returns a Boolean
radiant halo
What does next do
not sure but if something aint working i add or remove next and it makes it work sometimes
radiant halo
oh thats tricky
normal crest
not sure but if something aint working i add or remove next and it makes it work...
Gives the next value of a table, in this case I guess the first one
So yeah, definitely not gonna work on a Boolean
radiant halo
globals.lua is only 515 lines long for me?
pine moss
Key might be "m_cry_echo"
It's not working as a string
radiant halo
Gives the next value of a table, in this case I guess the first one
ah

globals.lua is only 515 lines long for me?

It's not working as a string
What's your code?
pine moss
What's your code?
SMODS.Joker {
atlas = 'cards',
key = 'trainer',
pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
rarity = 2,
config = { extra = { retriggers = 2 } },
loc_txt = {
['en-us'] = {
name = 'Trainer trainer',
text = {"This card retriggers",
"every {C:attention}trainer{} card",
"{C:attention}2{} times"
}
},
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
return { vars = { center.ability.extra.retriggers } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.repetition then
if context.cardarea == G.play then
if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_est_trainer') then
return {
message = localize("k_again_ex"),
repetitions = card.ability.extra.retriggers,
card = card,
}
end
end
end
end,
}
That’s checking if the joker has the enhancement
pine moss
That’s checking if the joker has the enhancement
OH
wintry solar
Use context.other_card
pine moss
THANK YOU
normal crest
yw
pine moss
Use `context.other_card`
That works, thanks!!
pine moss
If I want to make the text of my card work with Cryptid's joker value scaling what should I put in {C:attention}2{} part? I notice that the localizations for Cryptid uses #2#, would that work?
normal crest
The #s means it's a variable, the number in between means the index of what you return from loc_vars
So if you were to replace your 2 with #1# it means it takes the first value of whatever you returned from loc vars
radiant halo
alright im gonna eat a grilled cheese and pass out, hope you folks solve all ur bugs

Does it start counting from 0 or 1. I think 1 right?

Man ghost cards are a huge pain in my ass
if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then
if math.random() < 0.25 then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
trigger = 'after',
delay = 0.5,
func = function()
ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.money, true)
card:shatter()
return true
end
}))
card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil,
{
message = "Shattered!",
sound = "fm_shatter",
colour = G.C.MONEY
}
)
end
end
This is for an Enhancement so card destruction logic works differently compared to Jokers and Consumables, what am I missing? What can I do to prevent ghost cards from forming?
tall wharf
in my experience, __6__ and 9 is more common than __6__ and __9__
this is what my brain defaults to
they do in fact underline both
maybe that's just me
