```lua
local prime = {14,2,3,5,7}
print(context.other_card.base.id, ...
that's because you're doing prime[<card's ID number>] which tries to access the ID'th index in prime, which doesn't exist if it's above 5 because the list is 5 long
tidal steppe
oh so i need a list of true/false 14 long?
stiff locust
no
frosty dock
you can do something like {[2] = true, [3] = true, [5] = true, } etc.
stiff locust
for index = 1, #prime do
if context.other_card:get_id() == prime{index] then
primeflag = true
end
end
if primeflag == true then
---okay, this means it's prime
end
this should work
tidal steppe
you can do something like `{[2] = true, [3] = true, [5] = true, }` etc.
i tried that earlier, but ig i was also doing .rank then which was the fault
stiff locust
just checks the card's ID number against everything in the prime list
oh wait hold on you'll need a flag for this

does it *really* matter that much
with quantum enhancements, it actually does because get_id is expensive due to having to ask every joker for extra enhancements 🙄

that message starts with "with quantum enhancements"
frosty dock
no of course it doesn't make a huge difference, but lots of unoptimized code adds up in the long run

anyone know how to get the chips currently in the blue chip box during joker calculation?

hand_chips and mult are globals you can access.
...bizarre that remove_from_deck triggers when a Joker is debuffed.
radiant halo
`hand_chips` and `mult` are globals you can access.
awesome, thank you
i tried G.chips, G.current_round.current_hand.chips, and G.current_round.current_hand.chip_total and none were what i wanted lmao
radiant halo
...bizarre that `remove_from_deck` triggers when a Joker is debuffed.
that might be so it still properly changes hand size even if its debuffed?

Perhaps... though, this introduces an unintentional SFX trigger on some of my Jokers.

UNLOCKS FOR MY DECK(tattered red) WOO
White stake(common joker):
Speedrunner: Skipping a blind gives +1 hand to the next selected blind
Red stake(t1 voucher): Thrift: Discarding has a 3 in 4 chance to use a discard
Green stake(uncommon joker): Sleight of Hand: After playing a hand, draw an additional card
Black Stake(challenge):
--Slow Burn--
Start with 5 hands and 4 discards
Even antes permanently remove 1 discard
Odd antes(after 1) permanently remove 1 hand
Blue Stake(uncommon joker):
Trash Hoarder: If blind is won after using all discards, grant a garbage tag
Purple Stake(t2 voucher):
Steal: Discarding has a 1 in 2 chance to use a discard
Orange Stake(rare joker):
Trade-off: The first two discards of round give +1 hand, the first two hands of round five +1 discard
Gold Stake(background)
Red and black, upon scoring over 5x the blind requirement, the background will start to burn

some intellisense stuff
I don't see why it would need any
Considering Intellisense works with workspaces.
Assuming your code editor supports those
normal crest
We are in need of some intellisense
hardy viper
Considering Intellisense works with workspaces.
as it is luals is pretty slow
some general definitions that don't need a 600ms search would be nice
edgy reef
It's that slow?!
hardy viper
+cutting back on undefined global end your own life now is nice

It's that slow?!
when you have a good amount of mods + the balatro source code + the lovely dumps of the balatro source code yeah
it gets a little rough
normal crest
Is there a setting for the lua extension that allows it to work with multiple workspaces? From my experience my files would need to be in the same workspace as the source for it to consider giving me any kind of completions
hardy viper
if you limit yourself to just a few things it gets a good bit better, but with how often i need to search through other mods/debug them i just don't feel like it's worth the tradeoff, i just ball without any sort of autocomplete
edgy reef
Oh yeah if you're adding mods in that would slow down.

I don't know, all I did was add folders to my workspace, it spent a bit doing a "diagnosis" and then proceeded to tell me undefined globals
That's why I'm asking if I'm missing something
hardy viper
naw it's just a fact of life unfortunately i don't think anyone here has ever looked at any luals detected "problems"
minus syntax errors

That's what I did

including literally everything in your workspace + installing love2d definition extensions + praying usually does okay

To use more advanced typesetting, specify your description as a localization entry at G.localization.descriptions.Mod[id]... does that value need to be a table too?
normal crest
There is a "Add Folder to Workspace" button in the file tab
Whenever I use this, the completions are separated between workspaces
So in my mod folder it doesn't know SMODS exist, but if I go to steamodded source folder it does know
edgy reef
oh
livid tapir
what should i make next in my mod?
livid tapir
is steamodded in your mods folder?
i mean id assume so
if you want both your mod and SMODS to be included, just change your workspace folder to the mods folder, itll know SMODS exists once you do that

stray warren
Do you need to pass context.other_card into the return statement instead of card?
I guess that would only be for which Joker to show the "Again!" message under
normal crest
That sounds correct to me
stray warren
You passed 1 to repetitions
normal crest
You only return early when it's not blueprint, so that adds up
radiant halo
i thought self was blueprint
normal crest
card is blueprint
Self might refer to the center but that's just a guess, I've never used it
stray warren
I've only ever used self to represent the card when I hook into a function. With the custom SMODS APIs, the card is passed in separately
self in that context should refer to SMODS.Joker
which isn't what you need
radiant halo
huh ok

i just kinda copied this code and worked with it

x_mult, --Multiplicitive multiplier
p_dollars, --Money?

Oh shit that's amazing
I've been doing card conversions like that for my mod, bu...
The bounce animation is just card::juice_up()
I had issues with ghost cards at first, but later fixed it by utilizing what handles glass shattering. I injected all the code I need into the for loop that iterates through scoring cards to check for glass, which marks them for safe deletion with both a variable stored in each card and an array with variable size.
Having it happen after you score just depends on where the code is injected.
merry raven
Oh you wrote a Lovely patch for the shattering?
lusty pollen
Yeah, pretty much everything is lovely patches aside from the definitions/info for the enhancements.
merry raven
And this juice_up, is it a part of a G.E_MANAGER:add_event function or can it be called by itself like card.juice_up()
No wait, it's both
Which one do you use instead
lusty pollen
I just called the juice_up function with card[i]:juice_up() on each effected card iteratively.
I haven't figured out events yet lol.
merry raven
Ah right then
One more thing, which file in the source code did you patch the shattering code into? This ghost card problem is killing me, and I have zero experience with Lovely patches
lusty pollen
It's in state_events. If you search for shatter/glass through it you should find the spot that handles it easily.

Ah, right, Talisman itself doesn't add the localization entries for that... just the functions and what not.

given how hard it is to score with just one hand I think it's fiiiiiine? will play test it

does anyone know what's wrong here

does anyone know what's wrong here
it's looking for an .ogg when you have .wav
valid forge
anyone have, like, a full set of variables for SMODS decks?
I assume a lot of it will just be digging through the balatro code itself but thought if there was a source anywhere to make things easier I could use that
wintry swallow
i'm addicted to making challenges so i might workshop creating a daily challenge
the idea is that the challenge's parameters would change daily, the mod would require an internet connection to play because it would pull the parameters from a remote server
valid forge
might it not be better to have it use the system's date to determine which one is active, then just release like biweekly updates to add new ones?
wintry swallow
that's susceptible to "the wordle exploit" aka changing the date in windows (or reading the source) to spoil challenges ahead
valid forge
that's true actually
wintry swallow
it also requires me to update the mod on a regular basis which i will forget to do
valid forge
yeah I didn't consider the spoiling scenario
would be cool to let them go back and play older ones though
valid forge
could always just do semi-regular separate mods with all the challenges
like once a month or so you just release the challenges so far in that period as offline accessible
that'd mean you don't have to program a way to go back days and you could then access them without wifi

What do you think is going wrong here?
I don't understand how the argument is nil
when the table isn't empty
I think understanding why it prints k would help
But I have no idea why it does that
royal ridge
should do G.GAME.FacePaint[k], currently you're doing the equivalent of G.GAME.FacePaint['k']

There's documentation for Steamodded
royal ridge
why does the second one break
idk what's going on exactly, but you're defining a new entry in the table during the pairs loop
spring lantern
rn you're asking for a value called k instead of value 1
prisma loom
There's documentation for Steamodded
What's steamodded?

youre on the right track!
zealous glen
k is an index right
It's not a number if that's your question
fallen tendon
its going to be big sets of jokers and consumables based on roblox places
spring lantern
whatever it is you're accessing "k" instead of it
royal ridge
k is an index right
k means key, lua can use strings as keys rather than an integer table
zealous glen
idk what's going on exactly, but you're defining a new entry in the table during...
I thought table.key and table['key'] were equivalent (and, likewise, 'key' and ''key'')

spring lantern
are they?
royal ridge
you're doing table['k']
zealous glen
What's steamodded?
Most popular unofficial modding API
zealous glen
they are equivalent
So how am I defining a new entry?
prisma loom
Thanks
royal ridge
you are defining an entry called literally k
which is why it's printing k
zealous glen
Wait it's interpreting k as 'k'?
royal ridge
yep
violet void
probably not possible, how do I check if any of the next Jokers after the current one (not previous) is X?
spring lantern
you need [k] instead of ['k']
royal ridge
you'll want to use bracket indexing for these things
zealous glen

Check Blueprint but use the key if you're looking for a specific Joker (vanilla uses names)
zealous glen
you'll want to use bracket indexing for these things
I mean you can see how I thought it would work using .
Everything else is equivalent
royal ridge
I mean you can see how I thought it would work using `.`
yeah i've made that mistake before
royal ridge
So `table['k']` is equivalent to `table[k]` is equivalent to `table.k`
only if k = 'k'
spring lantern
except table[k]is the only one that actually reads the variable's value, the other 2 it interprets literally
zealous glen
Which it is
royal ridge
you can think of it like G['GAME']['FacePaint'][k]
and i believe that actually works
spring lantern
or say you define a variable g = 'GAME' then you could be goofy and do G[g]['FacePaint'][k]
but not G['g']
royal ridge
yep

SMODS.Joker works different now id recommend lookin at its implementation

wooden nexus
Question: I know there’s a flushcalc for stuff like stone cards and whatnot, but are there other calcs for stuff like pair, 3OAK, etc?
wintry solar
iirc it's called get_X_same
wooden nexus
I see, i wanted to play around with it to make it so i can do certain ranks to count the same
Example: In Hanafuda, there’s Multiple chaff cards, but they have different art for each
To work around it, i would make “Chaff 1-3 (since December has 3 chaffs)” and treat them all as the same “Rank” essentially
frosty dock
you'd want to have their get_id return the same value I think
shut sigil
Okay so I'm trying to make a hearts set for malverk but I have no idea what I'm doing
I should probably finish the art first though huh
wintry solar
malverk isn't for suit textures, use SMODS.DeckSkin for that
valid forge
@shut sigil I can recommend #1284376286789111940 for that
shut sigil
Thank you sm
valid forge
not strictly necessary but has some good guidance and templating
it's what I'm using
malverk covers everything except the playing cards
DSL should be able to do exactly what you want, it's pretty intuitive ^^
shut sigil
Thanks!
I saw that bsky post of someone making SIGNALIS spades and I wanna do something similar

fair enough
anyone able to help me in terms of how I could achieve something like this through SMODS? I'm not literate in lua so haven't the foggiest myself, and of course I can't just build this off of the same config as discards/hands/etc (at least I assume not?)

Now I need some UI for the player to select what textures are pooled from
Would you like to help or can I steal fork malverk?

Is it possible to offset the card? I'm making a Joker and it's center of mass is a bit in a different place, so I wanted to account for that

-# "fork" as a joke

what do you mean?
zealous glen
So resizing cards accounts for that unless you grow up
I also need to figure that out, but a few days ago someone was trying to do the same
night pagoda
Yes, I mean that the center of mass is still in the center, but I want to change that
wintry solar
you can play around with it in the cardarea alignment

yeah "apply" probably needs arguments

maybe others

also not sure that event is needed for basic setup stuff. isnt events just for things to be animated?

@night pagoda Maybe this helps

v:change_suit('Clubs')
end
if v.base.suit == 'Hearts' then
v:change_suit('Diamonds')
end
end
return true
end
}))
end
just that with fixed indents
tidal steppe
wonder why this didnt need event then
apply = function()
G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots = 1
end,
trigger_effect = function(self, args)
if args.context == "eval" and G.GAME.last_blind and G.GAME.last_blind.boss then
G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
end
end
After some further digging, turns out I have to click "show package contents," find Balatro.love, then unzip that.
