Does anyone know what I did wrong?

[frosty dock]

use card instead of self

[steep rain]

help me pls

[wet sand]

its an issue with whatever your claimh.lua file is

[wet sand]

you dont have a closing bracket

[stray warren]

I'd recommend not using Notepad to write the code, as it will probably cause you a lot of unnoticed mistakes

[wet sand]

^^

[quaint latch]

i dont understand what im doing wrong

it should work perfectly fine

[sick sparrow]

how to change deck's atlas

[quaint latch]

by using the atlas property

[sick sparrow]

using the

SMODS.Deck:new("Anti-Mista Deck", "mista", {mista_hater = true}, {["atlas"] = "geriolish_1", x = 0, y = 0}, loc_def["mista"])
```method

[quaint latch]

hasnt the .Deck method been deprecated for the .Back one

[tidal steppe]

Is antimatter deck too strong? XD

my friends 1st run with it

[quaint latch]

Hey! Mind if i take some of your time for my issue regarding disabling discards when a specific card is selected? You absolutely dont have to but if you feel like it, id appreciate some help :)

Essentially, I'm pattern patching the G.FUNCS.can_discard method and want to check if a certain card in the selected cards has a specific key and disable the discard button accordingly without breaking other mods in the process.

These are my patches:

# Crowded Discard Disable
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/button_callbacks.lua'
pattern = 'G.FUNCS.can_discard = function(e)'
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
    local has_crowd = false
    for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
        if G.hand.highlighted[i].key == 'crowd' then
            has_crowd = true
            break
        end
    end
'''

# Crowded Discard Disable
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/button_callbacks.lua'
pattern = '''
    if G.GAME.current_round.discards_left <= 0 or #G.hand.highlighted <= 0 then 
        e.config.colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE
        e.config.button = nil
'''
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
    elseif has_crowd then
        e.config.colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE
        e.config.button = nil
'''

and this is the original function im patching:

  G.FUNCS.can_discard = function(e)
    if G.GAME.current_round.discards_left <= 0 or #G.hand.highlighted <= 0 then 
        e.config.colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE
        e.config.button = nil
    else
        e.config.colour = G.C.RED
        e.config.button = 'discard_cards_from_highlighted'
    end
  end

Sorry, I haven't used lovely patches

[quaint latch]

That's alright, thank you for your time anyway

[steep rain]

Does anyone know how to make your mod load multiple lua files for each individual card?

[rapid swallow]

Yall, is there a way to know when the wheel of fortune has failed?

I'm trying to trigger a joker off of it, but atm idk if anyone or any mod has already done this

[steep rain]

I need to know

[rapid swallow]

Require/import them?

Relative from the current file

It's a lua feature, so you can find it via that

[steep rain]

I dont know, Im new to this

But I mean like I would have multiple lua files for each joker and I want the mod to load all of them

How would I do something like that

[rapid swallow]

you want loadfile

it seems

[shell tangle]

You can also look into using SMODS.load_file(filehere)().

[rapid swallow]

oh huh

[shell tangle]

Also, NFS.getDirectoryItems(folder) might be nice, it returns a table with everything in a folder, but you'll have to set up local whatever = SMODS.current_mod.path because unlike SMODS.load, it doesn't automatically start off in your mod folder, so you'll have to include where to start.

NFS stands for Native File System, by the way.

[rapid swallow]

Anyways, this

Does anyone know this?

[shell tangle]

There's definitely a way, and I think I remember seeing someone ask before, I don't remember what the way was though.

Don't know how good of a solution is is, but you could probably search up "The Wheel of Fortune" and make it call a calculate with a custom context provided,

[compact olive]

hey guys, how easy is it to create the 52 cards with skins and upload them for myself?

( not the art part but the dev part )

[nocturne estuary]

hi, I'm trying to mod Balatro for the first time and I was wondering how I would go about adding more things (like for example a slider) to the games options menu (the "Game" Tab specifically)?
For context, I am trying to expand a mod called "IncreaseJokerCap" (by AkitaAttribute) (not for distribution, just for my own learning).
My current code looks like this:

table.insert(G.SETTINGS, base_jokers)

G.SETTINGS.base_jokers = 10

setting_tabRef = G.UIDEF.settings_tab
function G.UIDEF.settings_tab(tab)
    local setting_tab = setting_tabRef(tab)

    if tab == 'Game' then
        local jCount = create_slider({label = 'Max Joker Count',w = 4, h = 0.4, ref_table = G.SETTINGS, ref_value = 'base_jokers', min = 1, max = 9})
        table.insert(G.UIDEF.settings_tab, jCount)
    end
    return setting_tab
end

Every time I open the settings the game just closes without any errors. Why could this be?

[frosty dock]

you shouldn't really expand the game settings tab, it's bad practice

you should have a config tab for your mod instead

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions#modconfig_tab

[nocturne estuary]

aight, thanks for the info

[frosty dock]

for the actual code here, what's wrong is that your inserting into G.UIDEF.settings_tab instead of the returned settings_tab

[rapid swallow]

Wym? I need to hijack the existing use_consumable function for that, and idk how to do that

[nocturne estuary]

ok

[compact olive]

where do i find the textures folder?

in my resources folder there are no textures

( im on macos )

[shell tangle]

You'd do that through a lovelly.toml patch.

[shell tangle]

Re-extract in case the extraction got interrupted, maybe? That's where it should be.

[compact olive]

ill try yeah

[tall wharf]

i am blind

i just need API doc yea

[rapid swallow]

hm.

[tall wharf]

card.ability??

where can i read more about that

[rapid swallow]

its essentially the card name, except in some cases when its a name for the kind of joker (such as the hand mult jokers)

[quaint latch]

I DID IT

[rapid swallow]

? whats the ability here? 👀

[quaint latch]

lose a card slot permanently for this round for an upside

depending on how many slots are gone, the upside is better

disabling the discard and play button is just so you cant remove the card :D

[zealous glen]

You could do it directly; if you search the Steamodded code for that key you should find the code that does exactly that

Thanks!

[tall wharf]

programmer's art

i am rewriting this this is confusing

what's the mod that allows you to click on collection item to get it

[wet sand]

use DebugPlus and then when youre in the collection you can hover over an item and press ctrl+3

[tall wharf]

ty

i love

how do i directly set mult :P

[spring lantern]

wait how are you applying mult

[sick sparrow]

how to ignore debuff from joker card?

[spring lantern]

why is it becoming 0 LOL

[sick sparrow]

like if the boss blind debuffs the card, ignore it and calculate anyway

[tall wharf]

i thought i was smart in using Xmult_mod = 0 and using mult to set to the whatever mult i want

[spring lantern]

LMAO

that's like adding 1 then multplying by 0

this is why most jokers start at x1 mult instead of x0

[tall wharf]

it's supposed to start at 1

[sick sparrow]

found it
it's

SMODS.debuff_card(card, 'prevent_debuff', card)
```this card prevents debuff by itself, making debuffs useless against this card

[tall wharf]

😭

how do i properly directly set mult

😭

[sick sparrow]

how to make perishable_compat on custom card to false

[tall wharf]

@spring lantern here you go

i could probably word it better

actually coding this isn't too bad apart from the lack of intellisense

actually i meant autocompletion

[spring lantern]

so it adds more mult on every round?

that seems hella busted can't lie

[tall wharf]

no

it just swaps the current mult with the store mult and gives x1.5

[spring lantern]

oh i think i get it

still really powerful for a common

[tall wharf]

i meant for it to be at least uncommon

[spring lantern]

that makes more sense

[tall wharf]

I think it is too cracked

[thorny adder]

Ew

[tall wharf]

??????????

[thorny adder]

Wtf is that art lmao

[tall wharf]

programmer's art

it's fine

ill redraw it later

[thorny adder]

The joker gameplay is good tho ggs

[sick sparrow]

how to add unbreakable sticker? (successor of eternal sticker, attempt to replace/remove will not result that card be destroyed)

[thorny adder]

Isnt that already what eternal does

[crisp coral]

why do you need something higher than eternal

[thorny adder]

Yeah

Eternal does it already

You cannot get rid of eternals by any means

[tall wharf]

me when eternal 2

doom

[thorny adder]

[sick sparrow]

cryptid boss blind (specifically vermillion virus) can replace eternal card to something else

[thorny adder]

Well thats a problem of the mod

[brisk quartz]

so basically this is an oddly specific sticker to counter one boss blind

[thorny adder]

Making a new sticker would not solve the problem tbh

Its just that the dev forgot that eternal was a thing or didnt make it a thing

[crisp coral]

probably intentional

[thorny adder]

If you want to fix that, you can take ownership of that said boss blind and make it not do its effect if eternal is on the joker

[crisp coral]

cryptid's boss blinds should not be your problem

[thorny adder]

You should make your mod based on vanilla experience

Like

Make your mod for people who use only your mod

[tall wharf]

is this a better programmer art

[thorny adder]

Yes

Still pretty black and white but

Better

[tall wharf]

programmer art

[rapid swallow]

I got the wheel of fortune working, its a dumb hack:

      -- This joker gains +1 Mult for every failed Wheel of Fortune
        calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.joker_main then
                return {
                    mult_mod = card.ability.mult,
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.mult } },
                }
            elseif context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint and context.consumeable.ability.name == 'The Wheel of Fortune' then
                sendDebugMessage("Detected use of Wheel", "NijntjeCard")

                local aimed_jokers = {}

                for k, v in pairs(context.consumeable.eligible_strength_jokers) do
                    aimed_jokers[k] = v
                end

                    func = function()
                        local succeeded = false

                        for k, v in pairs(aimed_jokers) do
                            if v.edition then
                                succeeded = true
                            end
                        end

                        if not succeeded then

                            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                                func = function()
                                    card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil,
                                        { message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } } }); return true
                                end
                            }))
                        else
                            sendDebugMessage("Wheel succeeded, NOT adding mult", "NijntjeCard")
                        end

                        return true

                }))
            end
        end

[crisp coral]

just go on the minecraft wiki and slap that bad boy on there /j

[thorny adder]

Fr

Or steal some texture pack stuff

(dont)

[rapid swallow]

Sorry for the spam, just wanted to post the code here in case anyone from the future wants to do a funny thing after

[tall wharf]

i also rewrote the description

t in Then should be lowercase i just noticed

[sick sparrow]

and the passive effect that runs along with love.main()?

[crisp coral]

what

[sick sparrow]

an passive effect that runs no matter what

[thorny adder]

What for

[sick sparrow]

that thing

[thorny adder]

Idk I don't even think you do that but

[crisp coral]

definitely not

i don't see a way to truly make the card immutable

[thorny adder]

Yeah

[tall wharf]

i am going to make a spectral card just to spite that

[thorny adder]

Maybe just check if it was destroyed and if it was just spawn it back

[tall wharf]

remove any stickers but -1 hand and -1 hand size

[crisp coral]

that is dogshit id rather have my joker rental

sorgy

[tall wharf]

don't be sorry

it's all fun and games until eternal leaf

[thorny adder]

Fr

[tall wharf]

eternally renting

[violet void]

is this Joker too strong

[tall wharf]

shouldn't it be -1 hand instead?

[violet void]

I put the total loss of hands there

should I write -1 instead?

[tall wharf]

i am not a good player but -1 makes more sense to me

[dreamy thunder]

yea -1 makes more sense

[tall wharf]

anyway i feel like this has synergy with what i am making

for some reason

maybe

ill change the mult to 2

[sick sparrow]

how to create consumable?

[tall wharf]

you love some programmer arrt

[violet void]

so like if my hand would score 10x30 and I havent scaled this yet it becomes 10x1?

[tall wharf]

yea

no scaling

[violet void]

lol I cant draw either

[tall wharf]

outright replace the mult

not saying i can't draw just that i want to focus on the function first

[violet void]

ah I see

[cerulean rose]

cryptid already has absolute

[sick sparrow]

palmface

how to create consumable?

[cerulean rose]

create_card

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Center

[crisp coral]

oh also isnt this just delayed x1.5 mult

kinda

[tall wharf]

kinda

[sick sparrow]

absolute sticker?

[crisp coral]

can be cool if you somehow alternate between all chips and all mult

[tall wharf]

it literally just moves your mult in current to the next hand and x1.5

i changed it to x2

maybe too overpowered?

tho this technically discourage play to discard

[nocturne estuary]

is there a built in function for reloading the a GUI?
or is there some other way to update ui elements when a value is updated through some other means?
(example: a button sets a value, which can also be set by a slider, however the slider does not update to show said value).

[violet void]

How can I add a new property to the Card object with Hooks? Im doing it with lovely rn but maybe theres a different way

[crisp coral]

just add it to card.ability

[violet void]

this worked

[tall wharf]

is there a way to track chip and mult change lol

[wintry swallow]

wdym

[tall wharf]

like

listen to changes in chips and mults

[wintry swallow]

what do you need to do that for

[tall wharf]

because that's the effect i want to achieve

every time either one of them change trigger card effect

oops sorry i read that as why

[weak brook]

https://i.imgur.com/Y7QDjXp.png

trying to make this joker say it unlocks with black stake but localize doesnt wanna work

not sure if this is a locked_loc_vars glitch or something

pretty sure i put in the right key, which the value is "stake_black"

https://i.imgur.com/lTLE1w6.png

https://i.imgur.com/1afunSJ.png

[frosty dock]

i think stake descriptions are in Other

[weak brook]

the internal game code says this https://i.imgur.com/HZZS87O.png

[frosty dock]

okay I might be mistaken

[weak brook]

yeah its weird

I hardcoded the description to say Black Stake and just used the colors but i imagine this may be an issue for other modders who arent comfortable with doing that

[shell tangle]

I'd like to request that someone narrow down this UI issue, because it's really weird, and I can't narrow down the issue any further, it's like the check that the toggle creates doesn't exist the second time arround. I've at least narrowed it down to this section and it's reproducible, but I don't know where to go from here.

The main thing, is that it works perfectly the first time normally, but if you reload the page in any way, interacting with the toggle causes a crash because it can't change if the checkmark is invisible or visible, even though it obviously exists, as, well, you can see it still.

[rare bobcat]

How would I make a joker that makes blinds take less chips to beat?

And how would I change the scaling if you have a different joker in your inventory (goes from x0.5 to sqrt)

[weary jungle]

G.GAME.blind.chips for one blind, G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling for future blinds

im not sure about he scaling option

try looking at double scale from cryptid

[tepid crow]

can probably just change the required chips (TGTM already showed the var you need to change) during the setting_blind context

[rare bobcat]

Would it just check all the jokers in the inventory and use a series of if thens?

For changing from half to sqrt?

[tepid crow]

what "scaling" are you talking about here?

[rare bobcat]

I want it so that if you have a different joker in your inventory, instead of halving the required chips, it takes the square root

[tepid crow]

oh for the first joker you mentioned?

[rare bobcat]

Yes

[weary jungle]

how do you add 1 hand for a round, like ease_discards? ease_hands doesnt work

[tepid crow]

within the first joker's calculate, probably iterate through G.jokers checking if card.label or card.config.center_key is what you expect

[weary jungle]

im so ingrained in control s, i do it when im messaging in discord 😭

[tepid crow]

ease_hands_played
also lol

[tall wharf]

no how do i watch for scoring change lol

like if there is a way to do it directly i'd like to know

[sturdy compass]

I don’t believe there is in vanilla

[weary jungle]

wdym?

also, 10 runes left!

[tall wharf]

run function every time the score changes

[weary jungle]

yeah that is not in vanilla

that is 100% patches time

[tall wharf]

😭

[crisp coral]

hook to mod_chips and mod_mult?

[tall wharf]

how do i hook

[crisp coral]

function original_function()
    return variable
end

-- your code
local function_ref = original_function
function original_function()
    -- code that runs BEFORE the original function is called
    local ret = function_ref 
    -- code that runs AFTER the original function is called
    return ret
end

[normal crest]

local ret = function_ref()

[tall wharf]

ah

makes sense

[weary jungle]

thats a lot of lines

[tepid crow]

You are going to love this solution:
remove the maxw = 2.5, maxh = 0.8, and it should no longer crash

[wintry solar]

Is that actually it

[tepid crow]

https://tenor.com/qNYC5A2S5kQ.gif

(I did not bother to figure out why)

[weary jungle]

im so close

yet so far

[shell tangle]

i have only 10 runes to go, but then i have to make them actually look nice (animations, sounds, etc.)

[tall wharf]

this might sound dumb but how do i make the card show triggger animation in hook

[normal crest]

should be card:juice_up() to make it move

If that's what you're referring to

[cerulean rose]

super weird that my pack doesn't apply cus it even shows the correct sprite in the texture menu, but it doesn't actually change anything

[tall wharf]

i think i am falling victim for the x y problem

i want a joker that watches if the score changes then adds +1 mult to itself every 2, 3, 4, ... times (the times needed increases every mult increases)

i got the times part but the watching score change is a bit more complicated than just card scoring i think

actually hold on lemme cook for a bit

[sonic cedar]

how would i play a sound effect during a joker’s message display?

like a sound effect plays when that message is triggered to show up

[tall wharf]

no clue why it triggered twice

[wet sand]

what would be the best way to remove cards from the entire deck

[tall wharf]

wrong video sorry

maybe it counts changing both of them as a different thing

i rly don't know lol

[faint yacht]

That is separated into cards in deck, cards held and cards played, technically. Though, I have this that destroys cards left in the deck.

[nocturne garnet]

thats alot of steel mikus

[viscid bough]

Okay im gonna ask this question again cuz im new to this stuff and i think i need to reword my question.

Im making a joker card that will flip the values of your mult and chips. However, im not sure how to do this, let alone put it within a joker card. Ive been searching through the wiki and source code and such but i cant seem to find and example of something like this. This is the code i have rn:

Again, ive been searching through the wiki and cant seem to figure this stuff out. Id assume theres some way to get/set the current chip/mult values, but i cant find anything on this topic.

[weary jungle]

this is probably a patch thing

[faint yacht]

No, actually.

[weary jungle]

oh

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/cd64a554e94ca5e8705af16abe9b432f605c0673/togastuff.lua#L313 Have a look at one of mine that does just that, but for scoring cards.

[tall wharf]

actually

i think tracking score is easier but like

where scor

ykw good enough

[wet sand]

is it not possible to just modify G.playing_cards(?)

or is that only one subset

[faint yacht]

Or... well, I guess that may contain all the cards, not sure. Head empty, no thought.

[wet sand]

seems like it does? ig ill try

[viscid bough]

Im not very good at reading balatro mod code yet. Does that code flip the values for the hand played?

[wintry solar]

Can you send me this in dms? Can investigate for you

[faint yacht]

hand_chips and mult are global variables for currently scored chips and mult, respectively. mod_chips and mod_mult assign values and update_hand_text reflects the changed variables on HUD.

[dreamy thunder]

when a joker is being added to the deck, how to check if its full or not?

[faint yacht]

G.jokers.config.card_limit for actual Joker slot limit, #G.jokers.cards for amount of Jokers held.

[viscid bough]

Ahhh okay. So this is what ive been looking for it seems. Thank you, this stuff is really confusing to me.

[dreamy thunder]

thanks

[tepid crow]

don't forget joker_buffer or whatev, might want to check Riff-Raff's code

[sonic cedar]

            SMODS.eval_this(context.blueprint_card or card, {
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = localize{
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_chips',
                    vars = {card.ability.extra.chips},
                    play_sound('hpfx_thumbsup')
                    
                },```
i thought something like this would have worked, but the sound always seems to play BEFORE the message, when i need it to play WITH it

[tepid crow]

then you play the sound while creating the message

I don't think the docs are updated, but in the latest steamodded you should be able to return a sound

(based on #1209564621644505158 message)

[weary jungle]

time for patch #3

woah

cyber :3

#3

[sonic cedar]

let me try that out then

[cerulean rose]

sent

[wet sand]

something like this should work right?lua if context.end_of_round and context.game_over then local steel_cards = {} for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do if v.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_steel then steel_cards[#steel_cards+1] = k end end if self.ability.steel_cards == G.GAME.round_resets.ante then for i=#steel_cards, 1, -1 do G.playing_cards[i]:start_dissolve(nil, i ~= #steel_cards) end [more code here] end end

[sonic cedar]

why is it superbuffing the joker help

whatever it is overwrites the preexisiting mult-chips i had set

[vagrant cedar]

Is anyone able to help me make a single custom Joker? I have no experience whatsoever, but I already made the Joker art and I know what it will do. I just want myself as a Joker.

[frosty dock]

someone left debug stuff in

[edgy reef]

that was me

[orchid thunder]

How does abstract Joker work

Like what is it's context

[frosty dock]

-# ik

[sonic cedar]

it wont break anything if i take it out will it

[wintry solar]

Playing on a branch is something new

[sonic cedar]

i went too new 😔

[edgy reef]

Nope, it was just there for testing purposes

Didn't notice I committed that lmfao

[sonic cedar]

oh phew lmao

[frosty dock]

truly on the bleeding edge

[viral jacinth]

just wondering if there is a way to change the mod name tag colour?

[vagrant cedar]

You able to help me? Sorry if you didnt want to be pinged, I don't know who does and doesn't know stuff around here and it seems you have created something before

[frosty dock]

you can have a badge_colour in your mod's metadata

[viral jacinth]

as in, in the steamodded header? or in a seperate metadata file

[frosty dock]

see https://github.com/steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-metadata

[viral jacinth]

ahh ok ty

[frosty dock]

I suggest you switch to json metadata

[vagrant cedar]

Is anyone able to help me make a single custom Joker? I don't know how to do anything, all I know is I want a Joker that starts with xMult and then adds xMult to itself when a High Card is played

[sonic cedar]

steamodded header uses BADGE_COLOR but header is also outdated

[vagrant cedar]

I have the art for it

[frosty dock]

but this is also supported in headers

[frosty dock]

hold on I can help you, just lemme get back to my desk

[vagrant cedar]

Bet, you're a g

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

using this as a point of reference can also help

[frosty dock]

aight i'm here

i can call if you want, whatever works for you

[vagrant cedar]

That works

[violet void]

I found this in the emplace logic and... is it possible for a non-joker to end up in G.jokers.cards? 🤔

[viral jacinth]

hm i've followed this and its still not changing..

[open bone]

Hey, I'm trying to get a simple "if current hand score higher than the blind's goal score" function to work, but trying to "if hand_chips*mult >.." gives me an error about trying to do arithmetics with global hand_chips- Any idea how to make it work?

[weary jungle]

what is the specific error?

[open bone]

Gonna screenshot real quick-

[weary jungle]

probably

[viral jacinth]

ah well ill keep trying after i make some food

[weary jungle]

what is your jokers code?

[open bone]

It's not a joker admittedly

It's a voucher that gives you 5$ if your current hand reaches higher than the goal's score, so an overkill/one shot type of deal
It has been a bit complicated since it's not a joker admittedly lmao but little by little I managed to make it work, at least the basic functions of it- But now I'm stuck with this last part

Here is the function that hosts the hand_chips * mult condition, which is what just kinda breaks

"overkill_bonus" is just turned to true when the voucher is purchased

[sonic cedar]

-# i
-# forgot to ask where it's kept

[edgy reef]

better_calc.toml, lines 206 to 233

[sonic cedar]

right thanks

[languid mirage]

yeah, in very old version jokers and consumables shared same card area

[sonic cedar]

i should
not have done that i think

[weary jungle]

yes

[wet sand]

SMODS.Joker supports enhancement_gates right

or at least it should? in theory

[tranquil gull]

hello yall

[dreamy thunder]

hey

[tranquil gull]

been in this discord before, but it's been a bit

i have an Idea

balahtzee

[wintry solar]

Did you just straight delete it?

[sonic cedar]

i deleted one line i should not have

i fixed it

works properly without the 20buff now

[violet void]

I mean in a natural way

[violet void]

interesting 🤔

[royal carbon]

Is it possible to generate a random number within a certain range that's also seed-based I'm trying to make a roulette, and I wanna be sure it always hits something

[teal estuary]

oh shit, calc 2.0 is finally o-

[wet sand]

im going to go insane

[sonic cedar]

for some reason my mult is being set to 0 before each scoring?

[wet sand]

im trying to add a card that saves you (like mr bones) and it works perfectly so all i need to do is find out how to change One line of text (the "Saved by Mr. Bones" blind ending text)

i think this is going to require at least one patch

[viral jacinth]

oh hey i figured it out

[tall wharf]

waaaa

i think i juiced it up too much

[sonic cedar]

oh this is just a general thing ok

[tall wharf]

i think this is plenty OP

[sonic cedar]

can it disable itself

[tall wharf]

no

[nocturne garnet]

juic

hyperjuice

[tall wharf]

is there a context for starting the round

[faint yacht]

https://youtu.be/x5-ITF2iI8w

[sonic cedar]

banned from scoring ig

[tall wharf]

scoring is now illegal 🗣️

[sonic cedar]

steamodded branch,,,,,

[tall wharf]

is the joker fair

[viral jacinth]

lmaowut

[tall wharf]

if you are cracked at this game you can try soloing this card

i guess it works but not practical

[viral jacinth]

is there a way to make a consumable make a joker both a specific edition + put a sticker on it at the same time?

i assume its not too bad right?

[zealous glen]

Change the edition then add the sticker

[wintry swallow]

for stickers, the Card:set_eternal, Card:set_rental and Card:set_perishable methods exist

[viral jacinth]

i was going to try make a shader that was a border+icon PNG and a gradient but that seems too hard to do? so my solution is the gradient plus a custom sticker

dunno if im overthinking it here but thats what i've landed on

[zealous glen]

I think making the shader do both is overthinking

[viral jacinth]

a shader for me atm looks like a really daunting task to do, but i want to make this edition for my cards

guess its back to aseprite for a custom sticker LOL

[violet void]

Is there a way I can check if a Joker has changed position in the Joker area as I drag it?

[rough furnace]

what are you trying to do?

[violet void]

for example if a Blueprint is to its left then the Blueprint would be destroyed

[sudden dew]

I was wondering that the other day. Afaik there's no built-in method that gets called when that happens, but I just use the joker's update method (called every frame) and loop through each card in the jokers card area until you find your current card

[rough furnace]

I would porbably just check the card to the left when you do calculate

[sudden dew]

for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
position = i
end
end

[violet void]

oh ty, what do you mean by joker's update method?

[sudden dew]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Center

[orchid thunder]

anyone know a joker that works like abstract

[sudden dew]

If you scroll down to the list of methods for centers, one of them is called "update." it gets called every frame. You can just define your own version of it when you define your joker

[rough furnace]

isn't abstract just +mult for every joker you have?

[violet void]

I wonder how heavy that is

does it reduce performance or something

[wintry solar]

you can just do your counting inside your calculate and loc vars functions

[sudden dew]

Realistically I doubt it. Even if you did something crazy and got like 20 jokers, you're looping through 20 things per frame. Not hard for your computer to do at all

[rough furnace]

update does run every frame so it can cause performance issues if you do a lot, but it's probably not a big deal

[sudden dew]

I'd be worried if that number exceeded 100 maybe

[orchid thunder]

yeah

im tryign to make a joker that gives xprobability based on how many jokers there are

[violet void]

thank you both 🫡

I'll test it asap

[sudden dew]

#G.jokers.cards gets your current number of jokers

[rough furnace]

I was thinking it might be possible to make a "lazy_update" that only triggers at a few times, such as, before calculation, before rendering ui box, etc.

might be handy

[orchid thunder]

z`yeah i know that but i need context

[rough furnace]

just look at how abstract works

[orchid thunder]

i did but its context is just "else

[sudden dew]

Can you elaborate on what context are you looking for? When do you want this to trigger?

[orchid thunder]

I dont knwo thats why im here

[rough furnace]

probably joker_main

[orchid thunder]

i was like an oops all sixes when jokers are in the tray

[sudden dew]

I see, so you want all probabilities modified

[orchid thunder]

i tried doing that

[rough furnace]

I'm confused now

[orchid thunder]

i want a joker that can dynamiclt increse / decrese how much probabilti it is based on how many jokers

atlease how can i check if any joker is added or removed from deck

[rough furnace]

probably update makes the most sense

[orchid thunder]

or from the tray

[rough furnace]

oops uses add_to_deck

but yours changes

I guess you could hook Card:add_to_deck and Card:remove_from_deck

[orchid thunder]

isnt that for that card

[sudden dew]

Jokers count as cards, you just need to check if the card being added is a joker or not

Here's the code for oops all 6's:

When you first get it:

for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.probabilities) do
G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v*2
end

When you lose it:

for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.probabilities) do
G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v/2
end

So you would just replace that v*2 with whatever way you want to manipulate the game's probabilities

And trigger that whenever you gain or lose a joker

For future reference, if you open card.lua in Balatro's game files, you can search for the name if the joker you're interested in and see how it's been implemented in the real game

[viscid bough]

ive got this calculation code for a joker, and everything seems to be working fine. The only issue is that the messages colors are all orange. How do i change the color to make it red for the mults and blue for the chips?

calculation code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            if pseudorandom('NerdyJoker') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.cc then
                if pseudorandom('NerdyJoker') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.mc then
                    if pseudorandom('NerdyJoker') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.xc then
                        return {
                            message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } },
                            Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult
                        }
                    end
                    return {
                        message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } },
                        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
                    }
                end
                return {
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } },
                    chips_mod = card.ability.extra.chips
                }
            end
        end
    end

[frosty dock]

add colour = G.C.WHATEVER to the return table

e.g. G.C.CHIPS or G.C.MULT

also chips_mod should be chip_mod

[viscid bough]

thanks

[tidal steppe]

your nested if's cause me pain

[fallen tendon]

i mean its not even close to the monstrosities committed by local thunk

[tidal steppe]

ikr

[sudden dew]

lol

[viscid bough]

also, is there a G.C.XMULT? or would it just be G.C.MULT for both mult and Xmult

[fallen tendon]

nervously looks at card.lua

[fallen tendon]

the latter

[viscid bough]

I dont have the best coding practices... this just seemed slightly more correct in my brain lol

[fallen tendon]

a better way would be to use elseifs

[sudden dew]

Is there documentation anywhere for all the possible flags that can show up in context? Because I don't think the Joker Calculation page on the smods github shows them all

[viscid bough]

ill edit it to that, that definitely makes more sense

[frosty dock]

it's incomplete with respect to better calc / retrigger api

we should update it soon-ish

[sudden dew]

Is there a simple way to take ownership of all jokers to make a global change?

[rough furnace]

don't think so

[zealous glen]

like what

[rough furnace]

what do you want to do?

[viscid bough]

Anyone think i should change these values?

[rough furnace]

not sure X3 mult may be a bit much

[sudden dew]

x3 mult is wildly stronger than the other values, yeah

[viscid bough]

currently theres a 1/7 chance that it actually gives X3. But yeah maybe 2X or 2.5X?

the mult has a 2/7 chance also\

and the chips 4/7

[sudden dew]

I was thinking the most direct way to implement a certain joker feature was to make every other joker check something when it stopped being debuffed, but I decided against it

[zealous glen]

what feature

[zealous glen]

also jokers know when they're buffed

[viscid bough]

thought i should buff the other values cuz they felt a little weak for an Uncommon joker. But i also nerfed the Xmult

[zealous glen]

I think 5 Chips is worth about 1 Mult

[viscid bough]

so should it be 7 mult?

[zealous glen]

Not necessarily

I was thinking more like 50 Chips, but this card does multiple things so you can adjust where the power is

[viscid bough]

just realised i was calculating chances wrong and so i was getting more XMults than i thought i should

[orchid thunder]

this did not work

[night saddle]

Im trying to add 4 bucks when discarding a face card and it shows a yellow square. I dont know how to fix this issue. Is it just colour = G.C.MONEY ?

idk how to compress the message so its not a wall of text. If someone knows, Ill just dm my code if there are issues

[rough furnace]

just send it

[night saddle]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'Foxy',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Foxy the Fox Pirate (RAWR)',
    text = {
      "Gain {C:money}$#1#{} each time",

  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.money } }
  end,
  -- Evaluate bonuses for each discarded card
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.discard and context.other_card then
      -- Ensure the other_card exists and is a face card
      if context.other_card:is_face() then
        local bonus = card.ability.extra.money
        if bonus > 0 then
          return {
            money_mod = bonus,
            card = context.other_card
          }
        end
      end
    end
  end,
  -- Provide the total dollar bonus at the end of the round (SMODS-specific hook)
  calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
    -- Default to the configured extra money value
    return card.ability.extra.money
  end
}```

[frosty dock]

```lua
put your code in between this so it looks nice kthx
```

[tidal steppe]

this ^

[muted timber]

guys what is colour required in

[night saddle]

thanks

[frosty dock]

why are you also trying to add the money at end of round

change money_mod to dollars + i think you need a message

colour = G.C.MONEY for the color

[crystal willow]

Alright what am I missing lol

[wooden nexus]

Progress has been made, but i'm taking a break for now

[wet sand]

how should i phrase this so that its less confusing
Iron Savior: Prevents death, destroy 1 random Steel Card for each Ante
the actual function feels pretty simple (if youre on Ante 10, itll destroy 10 steel cards [if you have that many]) i just dont know how to phrase it

[frosty dock]

Prevents death and destroys up to #1# random Steel Card(s) | Increase cards destroyed by 1 when Boss Blind is defeated

[wet sand]

ohhh true i forgot variables exist

[tidal steppe]

How would i manipulate the pool flag of existing cards. basically i want to make a deck in which all planet cards are secret, only showing up once you have played them. this is strong so ofc ill add some negative as well such as -1 joker slot.
but ye, how can i make all planets cards secret; only add to pool after play?

[orchid thunder]

am i just an idiot why did this not work

    if G.jokers and card.added_to_deck then
        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.probabilities) do 
            G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v*card.ability.extra.odd_change
        end
    end
    if G.jokers and card.remove_from_deck then
        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.probabilities) do 
            G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v/card.ability.extra.odd_change
        end
    end
end,```

[tidal steppe]

i have no experience with the update function so im not sure. but can G.Jokers and add/remove be true at same time?

[wintry solar]

this absolutely should not be in the update function

[wooden nexus]

Fanta

[quaint latch]

Adding to the if statement by adding an elseif

[sturdy compass]

Gonna bump this since it's not night time anymore lol

My best guess is I’m using the wrong variable for deck size? If that’s so then idk what the correct one would be

[wet sand]

youre computing card_limit - 52

[tidal steppe]

abandoned deck pop off!

[wet sand]

which cascades through the entire function

[frosty dock]

isn't this literally 3e * -0/1000 if you have default deck size

which evaluates to negative zero

also G.deck.config.card_limit can be funky

[wet sand]

you probably dont want the -1 * and you probably also want to add some base value like 1

[frosty dock]

you should use #G.playing_cards

the deck card limit doesn't update when adding cards in a blind until they're shuffled back into the deck

[frosty dock]

also this

[viscid bough]

how do i change the color of text in the joker description to match a suit color?

[frosty dock]

see castle in the example jokers mod

[viscid bough]

Found it, thanks

[sturdy compass]

This is how I'm coming up with the equation btw

f(x) = the mult it should be giving

and if f(52) then it should be 3

[wet sand]

youre missing a power

between math.exp(1) and the rest of the equation where you have a multiplication

thats supposed to be a power

[cerulean rose]

yes, but only for jokers

that is until bettercalc is actually functional

[sturdy compass]

I can’t believe I didn’t realize that was supposed to be a power. Thank you

[wet sand]

id still recommend adding a +1 to the equation though (and reducing scaling by 1 if you want to keep the cap at 3x)

its not unfeasible to hit 86 cards at which point your card starts getting worse than 1x

[near iris]

does anyone know if there's a way to trigger a joker ability when a played card is retriggered (due to either a seal or a joker preferably, but if just jokers that's fine)

[royal carbon]

What exactly does the pseudorandom function output? Trying to make a roulette with some random outcomes

[frosty dock]

if it's just given a seed, it returns a double between 0 and 1

if you give it a min and max values, it returns an integer within those bounds

[royal carbon]

Epic 👍

[sturdy compass]

There we go lmao

[tidal steppe]

woop woop

[sturdy compass]

only problem now is it crashes when viewing from collections on the menu cuz there's no fallback for #G.playing_cards

[tidal steppe]

store that into local var, if not exist set to smth else

[sturdy compass]

Well it doesn't crash...

Oh found the issue with that lol

rogue colon

[tidal steppe]

    trigger_effect = function(self, args)
        -- all jokers are negative and rental
        -- on joker creation (be that shop or pack or other):
        -- apply negative and rental
    end

how do i in deck.trigger_effect access when joker are created?

printing(args) was unhelpful

[viscid bough]

How can i change the maximum joker variable? Or really what im asking is what is the variable if it is there

[tidal steppe]

i got u

    apply = function()
        G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots = 0
    end,

[sturdy compass]

I wish I could help but I have done nothing with decks yet lol

[tidal steppe]

aww shucks

[sturdy compass]

On the flip side, finally working!

The need for "approximately" kills me lmao

[tidal steppe]

ignoring deck, do you now how to get args/G/context of joker creation?

[sturdy compass]

Off the top of my head I do not

[worthy stirrup]

I am very confused, the joker doesn't show up in the collection of jokers, am i missing something?

[cerulean rose]

your just defining a table

and its structure is totally wrong

[worthy stirrup]

im holding everything together by tape

[cerulean rose]

to define a joker you need to call SMODS.Joker

[worthy stirrup]

ohh

i might be dumb

[cerulean rose]

you need a key for your joker

loc_def should be loc_vars

loc_vars and calculate need to be in the main table

[viscid bough]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Center

[cerulean rose]

yes this^

[frosty dock]

you're piecing together stuff from code made for old old steamodded^

[cerulean rose]

also please use the new header format

[worthy stirrup]

my apologies, thank you

[frosty dock]

-# though this was still the more convenient way to write code for 0.x steamodded compared to doing direct arguments

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

[cerulean rose]

the fuck!?

[frosty dock]

-# we don't talk about 0.x APIs

[thick panther]

not enough arguments. needs more

[frosty dock]

like perishable_compat

[tidal steppe]

if context.type == 'store_joker_modify' then
                    _context.card.temp_edition = true
                    self:yep('+', G.C.DARK_EDITION,function() 
                        _context.card.temp_edition = nil
                        _context.card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)
                        _context.card.ability.couponed = true
                        _context.card:set_cost()
                        G.CONTROLLER.locks[lock] = nil
                        return true
                    end)
                    _applied = true

following is in tag.lua. gotta work out how to apply to my deck

[frosty dock]

tags get an apply function

signature (as per docs) is apply(self, tag, context) where self is the tag's prototype as always, tag is the Tag object as referred to as self in the snippet you sent above, and context is.. well, context

[dreamy thunder]

how to make a joker give mult for every scoring glass card?

[tidal steppe]

i know, i am looking at tag. im asking how to have my deck trigger this when back has no apply function, and that wouldnt even work, for this isnt when the deck applies, but when jokers are created in shop

[frosty dock]

oh i didn't see the bottom part

you should be able to patch into create_card_for_shop to send a Back:trigger_effect with the same context

then you can use a trigger_effect function in your deck to catch that

my bad

[tidal steppe]

oh no, how do i patch? i thought i would only need the back:trigger_effect

[wintry solar]

do back effects get the same contexts as tags?

[tidal steppe]

they dont even get context, only self, and args

[sonic cedar]

what's the fix to the attempt to concatenate global 'i' (a nil value) crash? it's something to do with the state events file

[tidal steppe]

this has been my biggest gripe, the diff functions get diff vars. context/G/args each contain a lot but different things, and which you have access to can determine whether your creation will be easy or hard 😅

[frosty dock]

args is also a context-type table

[tidal steppe]

?

[viscid bough]

i might have used this wrong. Im attempting to make a joker that takes up two slots (Really it just does the opposite of a negative card) Heres my code if you see an issue with it, because right now the joker slots stay the same.
code:

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots = G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots + card.ability.extra.ajoker
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots = G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots - card.ability.extra.ajoker
    end,

[frosty dock]

they don't

but they should

[tidal steppe]

you previously said starting slots, which is different to mid game alteration, or not. i missread 😅 sorry

G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1

[viscid bough]

oh lol. Thanks.

[cerulean rose]

how to add a cryptid enhancement deck for a custom enhancement?

[tidal steppe]

wdym?

[frosty dock]

if the call to trigger_effect is added, it can just pass the same table that tags would receive as context as args

or, variable names are arbitrary and there's nothing wrong with calling the deck argument context too

[tidal steppe]

are you saying i can do this:
trigger_effect = function(self, args)
print(context)
print(args)
end

[frosty dock]

no

[orchid thunder]

What should it be

[frosty dock]

I'm saying you can do trigger_effect = function(self, context)

[wintry solar]

add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

[tidal steppe]

ill try that later. for now im pivoting

[orchid thunder]

But isn't that for the card itself

I want it to detect other Jokers getting added/removed

[frosty dock]

I'm not saying that does anything, it just doesn't make a difference

[wintry solar]

throw it in calculate then

[frosty dock]

we can add the tag contexts for decks into steamodded i think

[orchid thunder]

Ok how would I do that then

[wintry solar]

use context.buying_card and context.selling_card

[orchid thunder]

But that's buying and selling

I want destroying to count too

[wintry solar]

or hook add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

if you put it in update, every card will increase it every frame

[tidal steppe]

-- Green Joker
SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('Green Joker', {
    config = { self.ability.extra.hand_add = 2 }
})

what am i doing wrong here? this crashes complaining about the = should be }
first time attempting take ownership

[frosty dock]

key is 'j_green_joker' first of all, take_ownership doesn't accept names

[tidal steppe]

ahh

[frosty dock]

second that's not valid syntax

specifically this ```lua
config = { self.ability.extra.hand_add = 2 }

[tidal steppe]

aight, what is?

[frosty dock]

should be this ```lua
config = { extra = { hand_add = 2 } }

[tidal steppe]

huh

ok

[frosty dock]

that's not how lua tables are constructed

you can't just put random expressions in

[tidal steppe]

that didnt work, gave 1 mult, then crashed

[frosty dock]

my bad, needs to be this

i should know the config structure of groker at this point

[tidal steppe]

all i know is that in the games code
elseif self.ability.name == 'Green Joker' then loc_vars = {self.ability.extra.hand_add, self.ability.extra.discard_sub, self.ability.mult}
and i want hand add to be 2

[frosty dock]

config = { extra = { hand_add = 2 } }

too tired for this, imma dip

[worthy stirrup]

hypotheically, can i run the SMODS.Atlas and change the photo for each card or do i just need one big photo with all the cards

[tidal steppe]

ok, thats working, guess i just need to also specify the discard. i should be able to work that out. thanks for the help 🙂

[frosty dock]

you can have an individual atlas for each card. it creates a bit more overhead but shouldn't be too bad

[worthy stirrup]

okay, just checking bc it makes my life easier

to be sure, the Atlas and joker's Atlas should be the same

[frosty dock]

yes

[worthy stirrup]

thanks

[viscid bough]

getting this error and i dont know why

line 55:```lua
local rchance = pseudorandom('NerdyJoker') * card.ability.extra.c

[tidal steppe]

card.ability.extra.c is nil
do you need self. in front?

[orchid thunder]

How do I hook

[viscid bough]

line 45 is where i defined it: ```lua
config = { extra = { chips = 50, mult = 10, xmult = 2.5, c = 10, mc = 2.5, xc = 1 } },

[viscid bough]

lemme check

everywhere else i did card.ability.extra it worked fine

[tidal steppe]

huh

[tepid crow]

did you start a new run or reload an old one?

[viscid bough]

reloaded an old one

[tepid crow]

try starting a new one

pretty sure config doesn't reset when you reload a run for... obvious reasons

[viscid bough]

it worked! thanks

that makes sense

[tidal steppe]

oh ye, i just ran into that myself

[dreamy thunder]

how do i change enchancements of cards?

[worthy stirrup]

how do i do the gray text, for example how Judgment Tarot Card has (Must have room) on it

[tidal steppe]

steamodded has 34 new commits, maybe it has been fixed?

[edgy reef]

Better Calc 2 bugfixes have been merged yea

[cerulean rose]

nope, not yet

[tidal steppe]

aww

[cerulean rose]

its better but i thought there were still issues

oh nvm its been fixed now

[edgy reef]

There might be but no more critical issues at least

[cerulean rose]

it wasnt done yet when i last checked a few hours ago

[wintry solar]

I think all the issues from now will be stuff like message and juice up placements being wonky

[tidal steppe]

well thats why i noted 'new' cuz ive been checking often

[worthy stirrup]

is there a page on the wiki for the custom color text for the mult and chips

[wintry solar]

I'll type up some new docs for it tomorrow

[worthy stirrup]

i remember seeing it but i dont know where

[tepid crow]

in localization texts?

[worthy stirrup]

yea, like a list of these, {C:mult}+#1#

oh wait

im blind

but for that, is there a name for the grey text

i know the Judgment Tarot card has it for the "Must have room" section

[tepid crow]

I think they're at globals.lua:345?

[tepid crow]

anyway that one exactly is {C:inactive}

[worthy stirrup]

ohh, thank you very much

[tepid crow]

you can also just search through localization/en-us.lua and you should be able to find all the ones Thunk uses

[worthy stirrup]

oh right, didnt think of that

[sick sparrow]

made this game-breaking joker

[wintry swallow]

i made a funny challenge

amazing how one line of text can completely change everything

[viscid bough]

does this seem too OP?

[split copper]

that does the same as another mod

[viscid bough]

bruh
rlly?

[split copper]

i cant remember the name and ive uninstalled and installed stuff too many times

but theres one that takes an extra slot and gives x2 mult iirc

[viscid bough]

aha

but i also give +15 mult so im cooler

[split copper]

'

[worthy stirrup]

i see theres a way to see what PokerHand the player played but is there a way to see what jokers to player has

[sudden dew]

G.jokers.cards

G is a global variable so you can access it at any time

[worthy stirrup]

okay

its been a while since ive used Lua, It crashes whenever i press M

SMODS.Keybind{
    key = 'CheckJokers',
    key_pressed = 'm',
  
      action = function(self)
          sendInfoMessage(G.jokers.cards, "Yonkagor")
      end,
}

[sudden dew]

What's the stacktrace for the crash?

[worthy stirrup]

let me grab it rq

[rough furnace]

G.jokers doesn't exist

you probably want to check it exists

[sudden dew]

That's crazy cause I'm referencing it a bunch for one of my jokers

[rough furnace]

it doesn't exist all the timne

[worthy stirrup]

so wait, how do i check what joker the player has

[rough furnace]

like on the title screen

[sudden dew]

What's the context where you're pressing m? Is it on the title screen or during a run?

G.jokers is uninitialized, which is while you're getting an error

[worthy stirrup]

I am in a run, but it does also crash on the title

ive tried both

[rough furnace]

is it a different error?

[worthy stirrup]

let me double check

[rough furnace]

oh yeah it seems sendInfoMessage doesn't like tables

[worthy stirrup]

oh right, i should convert that to a string

[rough furnace]

also if you are just testing code you may want to checkout DebugPlus's eval command

[worthy stirrup]

I kind of want to try to keep it as "Vanilla" as i can

[rough furnace]

for development of stuff?

[worthy stirrup]

yea :3

[rough furnace]

ok

but I'm just saying this is handy

[worthy stirrup]

to check, this should work, yes?

SMODS.Keybind{
    key = 'CheckJokers',
    key_pressed = 'm',
  
      action = function(self)
        local temp = G.joker.cards
        sendInfoMessage(table.concat(temp, ", "), "Yonkagor")
      end,
}

it didnt

[rough furnace]

tprint or inspect are probably what you want

[worthy stirrup]

okay

[sudden dew]

Print() also accepts tables but it will probably truncate it

[wet sand]

me reading the smods example mods and theyre literally just wrong

[zealous glen]

which one

[sick sparrow]

yup, that's too many jokers (1332/9)
anyway i'm gonna use vaccum cleaner to get rid of fork bombs

[tidal steppe]

can you tech me the commands sir wizard. ive only been using the tab menu and print outs. didnt know any commands

[rough furnace]

there is a help command

[tidal steppe]

oh nice

[sudden dew]

They're mostly less useful than the tab menu sadly

[rough furnace]

I use eval a lot

and watch (but I suspect mostly noone else does)

[sudden dew]

Yeah I should watch, it would save a lot of time I'm sure

[rough furnace]

I also want to see if I can make watch joker work with any type of center

[tidal steppe]

eval is very helpful thx

is there any doc that outlines the entire object trees of G, args, context?
there is so much simply printing/evaling any is too much

[rough furnace]

context is documented

running inspect(value) may result in something a bit more graspable

[wet sand]

the seal example mod puts the name and text locales in a description variable which doesnt work lol

[near iris]

Does anyone know if there is a way to apply a plasma-like effect using a joker? Looks like the current mult and chips aren't part of context

[zealous glen]

I just patched into it

[mellow sable]

adding a few & gave my seed searcher a 50% speed boost lmao

[near iris]

yeah that's probably what ill have to do. been avoiding that because i have zero idea how to do that but time to learn

[zealous glen]

this is the relevant part of the patch

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "back.lua"
pattern = "if self.name == 'Plasma Deck' and args.context == 'final_scoring_step' then"
position = "at"
payload = '''
if (self.name == 'Plasma Deck' or calculate_balance()) and args.context == 'final_scoring_step' then
'''
match_indent = true
overwrite = true

[sudden dew]

Where's the documentation for context? I've been gleaning info about it from the joker scoring page on the smods github

[lethal pumice]

hi all!
how do i make a joker move when a card triggers it?
i tried to recreate code from the example mod jokers' walkie talkie 2, but the actual walkie talkie wiggles when the +10 chip +4 mult triggers, while the example mod doesn't, any advice?

[elder vapor]

card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5) iirc

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation and #1247703015222149120 (I think the ladder is mostly in the former)

[near iris]

just had that same problem, pretty sure the problem is that the return should have card = card, not card = context.other_card

[lethal pumice]

thank you so much! this worked perfectly!

[near iris]

sorry if this is a stupid question since i have no experience with patching yet: with this, do you then just patch in a calculate_balance function which checks if a certain joker is held?

[zealous glen]

more or less yes

[near iris]

ok perfect thanks

[sick sparrow]

how to not activate consumable during rounds? (activating the consumable that activates booster pack during blind causes to freak out like this)

[sick sparrow]

for example:
can_use() returns false during round, active pack
can_use() returns true during shopping, etc

[mystic river]

you're looking for a context i think, though i don't actually know what the specific context you want is called

[sick sparrow]

no, for example:
can_use() returns false during round, active pack
can_use() returns true during shopping, etc

[mystic river]

yes
you want can_use to check the context

[viscid bough]

Is there a way to check if any discards have been used at the end of the round? im making a joker that does something based on this and im not sure how you check

[mystic river]

check delayed gratification

[viscid bough]

how do i do that?

[mystic river]

unzip the game's .exe file to get the source code, them look through it to see how delayed gratification does the thing

[viscid bough]

do you know what file joker code is stored in?

[karmic kelp]

working on my first joker... how do I make x2 look all fancy like with other xmult jokers?

[viscid bough]

in the text for the description you can put {X:mult, C:white} before the number then {} after

like "This joker gives {X:mult, C:white}X10{} Mult"

[karmic kelp]

excellent

while I'm here I might as well ask how to pick a card from deck The Idol style

[viscid bough]

i think theres some example jokers on the wiki for both checking rank and suit

hold on lemme find it

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

check walkie talkie and castle i think

[karmic kelp]

that folder doesn't exist apparently

[viscid bough]

weird, i clicked the link and it also say that

did the example mods just disappear?

[edgy reef]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples Example Mods moved to here

[viscid bough]

oh so this like just happend

i was confused with the fact i still had a tab open to it

[karmic kelp]

aight this should be good food to get most of the way to this joker then

[viscid bough]

Someone know where i can find the code for delayed grat? i could only find something that said Effect: "discard dollars" but didnt have the code for it.

nvm i found where the ability code is at

[sick sparrow]

oh my gosh how do i supposed to fix that thing

SMODS.Consumable {
  key = 'spectral_dumber',

  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Spectral Pack Ticket',

```this thing breaks too much

[karmic kelp]

so I'm trying to make sense of the very bottom of Castle 2's code... is it basically "extending" Game.init_game_object and SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals?

[viscid bough]

Im attempting to make my own legendary joker that gains X0.5 mult at the end of the round if no discards were used, but everytime it scores it just say ERROR on the message, and at the end of the round, it crashes the game. Im getting this error message too:

heres my code for the joker:

                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used == 0 and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.gain
            return {

                card = card
            }
        end
    end

Anyone know what this is?

i sorta partly copied alot of it of the wiki

okay so i fixed the error text in the message but it still crashes

[viscid bough]

Anyone?

[wintry swallow]

huh did you know the logic for booster packs costing more per stake is still in the game

i didn't

[wintry swallow]

what i'd do is look at the lovely dump to figure out where it crashed

[viscid bough]

where do you find the dump?

[wintry swallow]

%appdata%\Balatro\mods\lovely\dump

it's a copy of the game's source tree with lovely patches applied

[sick sparrow]

how to get every card?

[viscid bough]

i checked and found this:

for ii = 1, #effects do
                            --if this effect came from a joker
                            if effects[ii].card then
                                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                                    trigger = 'immediate',
                                    func = (function() effects[ii].card:juice_up(0.7);return true end)
                                }))
                            end
                            
                            --If dollars
                            if effects[ii].h_dollars then 
                                ease_dollars(effects[ii].h_dollars)
                                card_eval_status_text(G.hand.cards[i], 'dollars', effects[ii].h_dollars, percent)
                            end

                            --Any extras
                            if effects[ii].extra then
                                card_eval_status_text(G.hand.cards[i], 'extra', nil, percent, nil, effects[ii].extra)
                            end
                        end

but im not quite sure why it thinks that the ii variable isnt a number considering its set to 1

wait

yeah im stummped

[sick sparrow]

i made it but unstable

SMODS.Consumable {
  key = 'popbob',
  set = 'Spectral',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'popbob',
    text = {
      "Use this card to",
      "get every cards",
      "(including modded ones)",
      "to your deck",
    }
  },
  rarity = 4,
  atlas = 'geriolish_1',
  pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
  cost = 78,
    use = function(self, card, context, copier)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for h,_ in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
                    local card2 = create_card('Jokers', G.jokers,nil,nil,nil,nil, h)
                    card2:add_to_deck()
                    G.jokers:emplace(card2)
                    card2:start_materialize()
                end
            end
        }))
        add_tag(Tag('tag_ethereal'))
        return true
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return not G.GAME.blind.disabled
    end,
}

[rough furnace]

you should probably check if the set is Joker

[sick sparrow]

here is balatro after i used popbob

didn't expect to be that strong

[viscid bough]

Someone help me here, im drowning in lines of code that im too dumb to understand! I cant fully tell if the issue is on smods end or my end

YOOOOO I FINALLY GOT IT TO WORK

To think it was just because i needed to redownload smods

bruh

its scaling the card 7 times 😭

got it working fully finally

[slow pilot]

How does one start modding Balatro?

[livid tapir]

ive got this whole customer service thing--
ok quick question

1. Are you wanting to make a mod, or download one?
2. Do you have Steamodded installed?

[slow pilot]

1, make.
2, Yes, because mods are fun.

Not quite sure which version, admittedly.

Well, which I have installed.

[livid tapir]

ok cool!!
To start, you should look at Steamodded's example mods, there's a bunch for whatever types of things you wanna make (poker hands, jokers, decks, etc.)
Then we can look at the wiki for more specific things like what centers are in the first place

[livid tapir]

you can see in the main menu of balatro

top right

[slow pilot]

wait, right

me forget that

one sec

1.0.0-Alpha-1301a, if that matters any.

[livid tapir]

the latest version of steamodded has a breaking calculation change that not many mods have adapted to
so you should get the old_calc version: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/tags/old-calc.zip

[tall wharf]

just wondering what changed

[livid tapir]

thats good, you could go to old-calc for alpha-1304a for the latest non-broken version

but youre mostly fine ngl so

i think youre good to start making your mod

any questions about making the mod go here
and you can make your own #1209506514763522108 post for the mod

[viscid bough]

Anyone think this seems like a good legendary?

(Ignore the terrible art)

[livid tapir]

thats like
more of an uncommon/common or smth to me
though do take more opinion before changing it
def not legendary material though

also how do all of you get the legendary background art

like the lines

[viscid bough]

the idea came from someone on steam. Attempting to follow the whole historical jesters theme with legendarys

[viscid bough]

I go to the games source files and get the jokers.png

there you can just copy and paste anything you want to work off of

[livid tapir]

ah ok
i havent extracted the exe yet so
i probably should ngl

thx

[tall wharf]

rat? i was a rat once. they locked us in a room. a rubber room with a human. and human makes me crazy!

that aside i thought the art said poland

P.oland to be exact

[viscid bough]

i see that now that you mention it

maybe i should thicken the R's line there actually

[tall wharf]

every time i hear Roland i think of the musical instrument manufacturer

[viscid bough]

oooookay so i tested it out and it definitely feels like legendary material. It just needs you to have a bit of mult and its great\

[tidal steppe]

how can i apply sticker(rental) to a joker?

[tall wharf]

oh hello zero

[forest hinge]

joker:set_rental(true) maybe? not sure, I'm looking at some other mod's code

[tidal steppe]

    trigger_effect = function(self, args) -- can maybe do self,context? says john smods
        print("-----------------------------")
        if args.buying_card and args.card.add_to_deck and args.card.ability.set=="Joker" then
            -- print(args.card.label) --key
            -- print(args.card.edition.type) --string
            args.card.set_edition({negative = true}, true)

making negative isnt even working :/

[forest hinge]

I also had a q - is there some way to create a global listener type thing, essentially getting calls to calculate but not tied to having a particular joker, so that I can manage global variables in the background whether or not a particular joker has been bought?

[tidal steppe]

that worked! and my set edition worked once i changed . to :

however this is only working on jokers from shop and not packs :/

[tall wharf]

this is how i listen to the calculation 😭 it's janky

[crisp coral]

mmm what's the particular joker in this case

[tidal steppe]

hi

[tall wharf]

i made 3 jokers

tho i

redesigned the quasi connectivity

[tidal steppe]

woo!

[tall wharf]

the joker activation seems a bit

too complicated

so i went with the non original route and

[tidal steppe]

    trigger_effect = function(self, args)
        -- working with cards from shop but not from packs
        if args.card.add_to_deck and args.card.ability.set=="Joker" then
            args.card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)
            args.card:set_rental(true)
            print(args.card)
        end
    end,

Any idea how to trigger this on jokers bought from packs?

[tidal steppe]

well thats interesting. the jokers do no spawn as negative or rental, they only become it when bought, and only from shop, pack jokers dont get the changes.
however... a non affected joker when sold gains negative and rental as its sold, during the animation ... 🤔

so add_to_deck triggers upon selling ???

[livid tapir]

so do i just unzip the exe (trying to get like textures and stuff

[forest hinge]

yes

[livid tapir]

thx

[tidal steppe]

mod idea: Jokers with gold sticker have a chance to spawn with red seal

[storm oar]

could be fun but also could get pretty crazy

[tidal steppe]

could someone kindly give me an example of Xmult usage in joker. just as i get to that steammodded has removed their example folder :/

and oddly enough i havent made any jokers with xmult yet

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[crisp coral]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

fuck

[tidal steppe]

XD

[tall wharf]

these three feels OP

i mean

[livid tapir]

WHY WULD THEY DO THAT 😭

[tall wharf]

the quasi is kind OP

[merry raven]

Is it possible to do custom card animations?
Not sprite animations, card movements like moving it around, the pulse animations, etc etc

[crisp coral]

to make a different repository

[tall wharf]

don't you need shaders for that

mult storage is kinda cool

[timid parrot]

Probably with shaders

[livid tapir]

😭

[tidal steppe]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main then
            local wild_count = 1
            for _, card in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if card.edition.type == 'wild' then
                    wild_count = wild_count + 1
                end
            end
            return {
                -- message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { wild_count } },
                Xmult_mod = wild_count
            }
        end
    end

what have i done wrong? the joker just isnt doing anything. just sitting there with silent treatment mockingly XD

[timid parrot]

I believe its context.joker_main

[crisp coral]

wild is not an edition

also ^^

[tidal steppe]

yup, i believe im stupid

[tidal steppe]

wait what. then what is it?

oh enhancement

print(card.label)
print(card.ability.effect)
these both print 'Wild Card'

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local wild_count = 1
            for _, card in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if card.label == 'Wild Card' then
                    wild_count = wild_count + 1
                end
            end
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { wild_count } },
                Xmult_mod = wild_count
            }
        end
    end

Working!

or should i change it to X1 per wild card. (min 1)?
its just that X0 is uhh, bad

[forest hinge]

rather than min 1, maybe (Starts at 1X)

I'm trying to create the following joker: "This joker gains +4 Mult when you leave a shop without buying anything". I know how I'd check for "buying something" via context in calculate, but the issue is that this card only starts tracking once it's been bought. So for instance, if you bought a Judgement from a shop, then used it and it generated this joker, then left the shop, the joker would think nothing has been bought and would incorrectly trigger.

I figure what I'd need to do here is track the 'haven't bought anything this shop' outside of this joker and somewhere global instead, that way I can just have this joker check it and it'd always be accurate - but I don't know where I'd hook up this sort of 'calculate outside of the context of any specific joker' thing

[sturdy compass]

My mod has officially hit 50 Jokers that fully function

Holyyyy

[sturdy compass]

I quite literally just made a Joker that does something very similar. Here's how I did it

[forest hinge]

where is this code though?

[sturdy compass]

In calculate

[forest hinge]

this looks like its inside your joker's calculate?

but so if you did what I described - buy something, then spawn the joker - it'd think nothing has been bought this shop and trigger, right?

[sturdy compass]

I missed that part of it, however you could hook up a global table variable to the buy button via Lovely patches and have it be cleared every time the shop is exited. Within the calculate you'd just check if the table "== {}" or not

Not sure how involved that would be though

[rough furnace]

You could probably just assume that when the joker is created something has been bought

[sturdy compass]

That too

That's probably a lot easier lol

[rough furnace]

Alternativly you could use a lovely patch or hook to store the purchase made somewhere in G.GAME and then just check that value

[forest hinge]

it bothers me knowingly allowing an edge case to slip through

[merry raven]

What parts of the source code are responsible for rendering the display bars for Jokers and Consumables? I want to create a brand new display at the red rectangle, it would also help to know what mods do this as well

[forest hinge]

this is my first time hearing of lovely patch, I'll go look into that

[sturdy compass]

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

They will be your best friend if you wanna do anything with vanilla functions

[rough furnace]

what do you mean display bar?

[sturdy compass]

My guess is a card area

[forest hinge]

oh so this is just straight up using regex to modify source code huh

wowie

[sturdy compass]

Basically lol

I need to figure out making new card areas at some point too for this Astrology card idea

[merry raven]

I dunno how to describe it
Card area, the place to store Jokers/Consumables/similar card types
A brand new one at the marked place

[rough furnace]

yeah card area is the correct term

I'm not familar with properly making them, but I know that #1226234529413468190 and I think #1225831216939536394 both add new ones

[merry raven]

Sick

[tall wharf]

i think i made it worse

[sturdy compass]

What are those debuffs lmao

[sturdy compass]

Oh I see

Redstone is scary

[merry raven]

Trying to look through footage on Betmma, they don't have the extra card area
Is it activated by something

[rough furnace]

not sure

don't use it

but I thought it's abilities had their own area

[tall wharf]

original idea is uh

[forest hinge]

hmm, I shall apply the philosophy of "tweak the design rather than bulldoze source code" and instead say "This Joker gains +4 Mult when you enter and leave a shop without buying anything", implying that the joker needs to witness entering the shop to trigger

[sturdy compass]

There ya go

[sturdy compass]

[tall wharf]

i changed it to be simpler

[sturdy compass]

Cool idea but goodness just thinking about trying to do that hurts my head

[tall wharf]

just like how quasi connectivity makes you frustrated when you begin redstoning

[sturdy compass]

Lmfao

[tall wharf]

i made it worse

[nocturne garnet]

why do the jokers just become super big for a second

[tall wharf]

_card:juice_up(5,1)

[nocturne garnet]

stop juicing them up so much

[sturdy compass]

Wh

Why

[nocturne garnet]

thats alot of juice for one up

[mystic river]

that's enough juice to banter about football with two pioneer probes

[tall wharf]

(the value was 56 yesterday)

[forest hinge]

wait a minute, is there even a context hook for beginning a shop

[tall wharf]

uhmmmmmmm

[rough furnace]

those things have calculations

probably want to check G.STATE

[rare bobcat]

That would be good with photochad

Disable suskin and reactivate chad

[rare bobcat]

That sounds like a flip book

[merry raven]

Amazing

[tall wharf]

no more balatro

it's minecraft

from now on

[iron olive]

does anyone know where the art for the game is stored? i wanted to make a graphical mod that just changes the face art for some of the cards but idrk where to start/get files names and whatnot

[tall wharf]

what's the main scoring loop in the game

[merry raven]

AAAAAAAGH

What the FUC

[tall wharf]

i am changing the approach to how i track score

[tall wharf]

BUILD

MILLIONS MUST MINECRAFT

ok but WHAT did you do

[tall wharf]

extract the game files

then resources/textures/?x/
