[sonic cedar]

yeah 💀

it doesnt even update the text either smh

[wooden badge]

lemme have a look. its current function suggests you are referencing the cards held in your hand somewhere

[sonic cedar]

got it

[wooden badge]

makes a nice little tune though when they trigger lol

[sonic cedar]

it does lmao

[wooden badge]

what I wrote there was bollocks. I thought the held-in-hand cards were giving +3

[sonic cedar]

yeah they are except +2

and also only after the blind is over

[wooden badge]

ah sorry

[sonic cedar]

they still shouldnt be doing it regardless though

[wooden badge]

they are doing it three times though

where else would they be getting the number of times to do that other than the round count in card.ability.extra.rounds I assume

[sonic cedar]

right i should show those actually

[wooden badge]

yeah please

[sonic cedar]

        text = {
            "{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult in",
            "final hand of",
            "the round",
            "This Joker gains",
            "{C:mult}+#2#{} Mult every",
            "#4#{} rounds",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}+#1#{}{C:inactive} Mult)"
        }

    loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
        return{vars = {card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult_gain, card.ability.extra.c_rounds, card.ability.extra.rounds}}
    end,

[wooden badge]

having c_rounds and rounds could be dangerous

[sonic cedar]

config = {extra = {mult = 8, mult_gain = 2, rounds = 3, c_rounds = 0}},
forgot the conf

[bold sleet]

I ask once again: Is there a way to check if someone is in a run or in the main menu?

[wooden badge]

because you could accidentally do the other one accidentally

check if that's right

[sonic cedar]

got you

[wooden badge]

probably find it in game.lua

[bold sleet]

What to check against?

i.e. wtf am I looking for?

[worthy stirrup]

^

[wooden badge]

I used G.OVERLAY_MENU recently to check if one is looking at the collection or deck view. There is probably one for main menu/runs

[sudden dew]

An easy way is to check if G.jokers

[wooden badge]

you need to go into the game's source code if you havent got it already

[bold sleet]

will do i guess?

[sudden dew]

It will be nil if there isn't a current run

[wooden badge]

or just have someone who knows more than me say this

[wooden badge]

I assume c_rounds is like 'count rounds' or something

[gilded narwhal]

guys am I being silly

[wooden badge]

so I see you are ticking it up every round

[sonic cedar]

loiterally my round counter yeah

[worthy stirrup]

Am I doing this right, it causes a crash when I load up the deck

  apply = function()
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          func = function()
            local SuitChosen = PickRandomRank()
            local NumberChosen = PickRandomCard()
              for i = #G.playing_cards, 1, -1 do
                  SMODS.change_base(G.playing_cards[i], SuitChosen, NumberChosen)
              end
              return true
          end
      }))
  end
}

btw this is what is done for the suit and Numbering choosing

Cardnumber = SMODS.Suits
Rankchoose = SMODS.Ranks

function PickRandomCard()
    local index = math.random(#Cardnumber) -- Get a random index
    return Cardnumber[index] -- Return the card at that index
end

function PickRandomRank()
    local index = math.random(#Rankchoose) -- Get a random index
    return Rankchoose[index] -- Return the card at that index
end

[sonic cedar]

should that last bracket be there

[worthy stirrup]

SMODS.Back{
  name = "One Card Deck",
  key = "absolute",
  pos = {x = 0, y = 3},
  config = {polyglass = true},
  loc_txt = {
      name = "One of a Kind Deck",
      text ={
          "Start with a deck with", 
          "only one kind of card."
      },
  },
  apply = function()
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
          func = function()
            local SuitChosen = PickRandomRank()
            local NumberChosen = PickRandomCard()
              for i = #G.playing_cards, 1, -1 do
                  SMODS.change_base(G.playing_cards[i], SuitChosen, NumberChosen)
              end
              return true
          end
      }))
  end
}

yea

[sonic cedar]

can i see the crash log?

[worthy stirrup]

oh yea, 1s

no wait, thats an out dated one

1s

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[worthy stirrup]

No crash happens, the cards just dont change

[sonic cedar]

oh 1s

[wooden badge]

@sonic cedar Id be so much more useful if I'd made a joker, I've just done consumables and seals so far

[sonic cedar]

its no bigggieee this is literally my fourth day of modding this game i didnt expect it to be easy

[minor magnet]

are current chips and mult stored somewhere? if so, what variable are they

[worthy stirrup]

do i gotta call the function?

or does it do that by itself

[minor magnet]

i know G.GAME.Chips is final chips

but like

what if i want the current amount of chips

[night pagoda]

I believe you're looking for hand_chips

for the chips (it's a global value)

and for current mult it's mult

[wooden badge]

@sonic cedar Something useful for debugging I've found is to just put print('test') after an if statement you want to check is querying properly.

[sonic cedar]

ill try that then!

[sonic cedar]

hold on why is config polyglass

your cards arent polyglass

[stiff locust]

use debugplus and do eval <command> to run code while the game is open
eval print() helps with a lot of things

[violet void]

what does evaluating a print do

[wooden badge]

@sonic cedar can't see anything glaringly wrong atm, sorry! Might try and make it myself and see where I get to.

[hardy viper]

i mean
that doesn't help with checking if branches are being followed when they should

[stiff locust]

well yeah but it helps with checking if a value or a table has the right thing in it

[worthy stirrup]

idk man, im trying my best lol

[sonic cedar]

thats alr! thanks for the help where it was lmao

[violet void]

I usually type value get while hovering the joker

[stiff locust]

what

[sonic cedar]

also try asserting the change base

[hardy viper]

another debugplus thing

[stiff locust]

oh neat

[hardy viper]

prints card info

[stiff locust]

that would've been helpful a while ago

[worthy stirrup]

ill see if i can

[stiff locust]

but right now i need to debug something absolutely awful that i don't understand

i've got a function in my mod that does something completely different on my computer than on elbe's computer and I don't understand why

cryomancer is making fused jokers for me but for elbe it makes fusion materials like it's supposed to

[wooden badge]

My inital thought is that it is somehow accessing the cards held in hand at the end of the round

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/DeckOf4s.lua
deck of 4s should help as well

[sonic cedar]

i have a theory but let me do some print checks with how it is first

[wooden badge]

@sonic cedar also, this check doesn't really make sense with what you want. This checks if it's your last hand, not your final one (as in the one that breaches the blind score).

[frosty dock]

I should make more deck examples

[stiff locust]

can you make enhancement example

[wooden badge]

Oh sorry you want final hand as in what Dusk does @sonic cedar

[stiff locust]

take a shot every time bigfact pings toma

[worthy stirrup]

how did i do this

[stiff locust]

well it's a deck of nils

[worthy stirrup]

Is it Rank_Suit or Suit_Rank

YES FINALLY

[rough furnace]

I did this earlier but that was because I deleted the cards manuakly and then put invalid cards into it

[worthy stirrup]

IT WORKS

[rough furnace]

Should be 10 of spades tbh

[tall wharf]

that one seed for erratic deck:

[sudden dew]

Is there an existing way to prevent jokers from ever appearing in the collection?

Like, not just never getting unlocked, but never showing up at all

[stiff locust]

delete the collection

[hardy viper]

no_collection = true in the joker definition iirc

[sudden dew]

Yep, that's it, thanks

[hardy viper]

now that i think about it im pretty sure tmj doesn't respect that

ill add that to my todo list

[nocturne estuary]

how would I check if a certain voucher has already been redeemed this run in code?

[sudden dew]

G.GAME.used_vouchers[id]

[nocturne estuary]

alright, thanks

[worthy stirrup]

It chooses a random card every game and just makes that the whole deck

[glass scaffold]

Anyone know how to find the code for Hanging Chad?
-# and maybe how to convert a card to a Lucky Card?

[worthy stirrup]

Im thinking about adding support for enhancments and stuff

[bold sleet]

Quick question: How does the game determine if a joker is compatible with blueprint and brainstorm?

[sudden dew]

card.lua in Balatro's game files has the code for every vanilla card

[glass scaffold]

Not sure how for vanilla Jokers, but to make one compatible, just put blueprint_compat = true in your mod code.

[bold sleet]

ok

[sonic cedar]

drunk off my shit

[stiff locust]

alcohol poisoning

[sonic cedar]

yes dw that was on purpose for dusk effect

[sudden dew]

blueprint_compat == true only controls whether blueprint says "compatible" or not. To actually make your joker not compatible, you have to add a check at the start of calculate, something like if context.blueprint return end

[frosty dock]

this is just cosmetic

[frosty dock]

Also this ain't valid syntax, you missed a then

[sudden dew]

u right

[night pagoda]

WHAT????????

[glass scaffold]

Kind of a nuissance, but I guess that's Lua.

[stiff locust]

yeah you have to manually exclude code from blueprint compat

[frosty dock]

no, that's

[sonic cedar]

1000% thunk coding

[frosty dock]

there could be an automatic check to exclude blueprints when it's set to false and just handle the other cases manually, but didn't do that

[stiff locust]

it'd be super cool if smods had that

if only we had an smods rep somewhere around here we could forward it to

[frosty dock]

https://tenor.com/view/feel-that-friday-funny-two-gif-2768002361436862173

[cedar stream]

am i doing something wrong, cuz the enhancment is not giving 1.25 X mult

[glass scaffold]

" local~1 BUILT THE IN A CAVE"

[frosty dock]

context.scored doesn't exist

[sonic cedar]

but what if it did…

[glass scaffold]

no more syntax for this (signed from a person who does Java)

[tall wharf]

snippet from my latest code

[frosty dock]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
    return { mult = card.ability.extra.m_mult }
  end
end

[sonic cedar]

somebody’s having fun

[frosty dock]

assuming new calc

[tall wharf]

(no)

[glass scaffold]

yea

[frosty dock]

this sounds fun, it wants to make me implement quantum ranks

[sonic cedar]

what have you done

[tall wharf]

(please this is a call for help how do i make a recursive function that searches for straights with arbitrary length and with support for suits)

[frosty dock]

Something something graph algorithms

[sudden dew]

Is there a neat way to add the little side boxes that display by a joker while hovering, like the one on perkeo that explains what negative is?

[tall wharf]

😭

graph

[cedar stream]

thank you, literally been trying to figure this out for 3 days now

[stiff locust]

in loc_vars it is the info_queue

[frosty dock]

wdym by support for suits

[glass scaffold]

Check for Runner 2 in ModdedVanilla.lua

[sudden dew]

Thank you

[frosty dock]

💀

[hardy viper]

meow

[tall wharf]

i wish it was that simple

i wish

[stiff locust]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'e_negative_consumable', set = 'Edition', config = {extra = 1}}
end,

this is how it looks for perkeo's

[tall wharf]

no i really do wish it was that simple

[hardy viper]

definitely don't do recursion for this

[stiff locust]

why does this sound so simple

[night pagoda]

do you think it'd be possible to have is_rank in steamodded the same way as is_suit exists

[hardy viper]

it kinda is

[night pagoda]

prolly would require to modify all vanilla jokers accordingly tho 💀

[tall wharf]

😭"

[night pagoda]

would worth it at the end (100+ mods with wild rank enhancement)

[graceful magnet]

hey where do I go to ask about modding/ game crash errors?

[tall wharf]

i am using recursion so it supports the "next" card attribute

[stiff locust]

1. get all highlighted cards
2. sort them by rank
3. start from the left, if next card is +1 rank, keep going, else end, no straight
4. if next card is same suit or wildcard, keep going for suit check, else end, no straight flush
5. if reach end of list and straight check didn't fail, it's a straight, if suit check didn't fail, straight flush

is it not this easy?

[hardy viper]

don't do this

[tall wharf]

i mean

[hardy viper]

cards aren't guaranteed to be in ascending order for straights

[sonic cedar]

where would i put my prints for this function?

[stiff locust]

well that's why you sort them in ascending order

[hardy viper]

oh

[frosty dock]

that's assuming there's a linear order

[tall wharf]

my algorithm assumed that i have already sorted the card which is the case

[hardy viper]

yeah idk better to sort the ids

[stiff locust]

oh, right, i didn't account for shortcut

[frosty dock]

arbitrary ranks can have any kind of structure connecting them

[tall wharf]

btw don't forget to account for shortcut joker

[bold sleet]

good to know.

[frosty dock]

and shortcut exists

[hardy viper]

just copy steamodded get_straight and modify it imo

[tall wharf]

i was doing recursion so it supports the "next" card property

[stiff locust]

if smods find card shortcut and next rank is +2 then straight continues
else if next rank is +1 then straight continues
else straight ends

there we go

[frosty dock]

just so I understand, what exactly is it you're trying to support that steamodded's get_straight currently doesn't?

[stiff locust]

oh I got so distracted i was here to ask about adding permanent +mult to playing cards

is that a thing

[frosty dock]

-# iirc the current implementation doesn't handle split paths correctly for relatively small straights in larger hands, so I do need to rework that one even if not for quantum ranks I think

[tall wharf]

how would you do straight with x cards in a row

like not just 5

but like

12

[cedar stream]

add a for loop?

[tall wharf]

and then double that with two straight flushes from different suits

[stiff locust]

what

okay well that second part is confusing

but it shouldn't be that hard

[tall wharf]

this was the broken code

but the concept is there

[stiff locust]

what the actual shit

this is some cryptid nonsense

[frosty dock]

alright so straights of any length

[stiff locust]

quantum thirteen straight flush

[tall wharf]

Quadruple

AKA The Deck™️

[stiff locust]

oh

[sonic cedar]

3 dolar

[stiff locust]

cryptid spoilers (you babies)
||The Entire Fucking Deck is a secret cryptid hand that contains every card in a 52 card deck||
so it's just that

[tall wharf]

yes i know

i am not original

however

[stiff locust]

so if you add straight wrapping to this

[tall wharf]

programmatically implementing these straight flushes

[stiff locust]

infinity straight when

[tall wharf]

or straight for that matter

has been a bit problematic

[violet void]

in checkered its half right

[stiff locust]

i have no idea

havent done it yet

[nocturne estuary]

ok so I am having a weird issue where if I redeem a voucher while in the round, the buttons below the cards don't come back up...

[tall wharf]

time for a new approach

mayvbe

[stiff locust]

so does anyone know anything about adding permanent +mult to playing cards

[tall wharf]

ี้

uh

look at runner code

in example

[stiff locust]

that has

nothing to do with anything i just said

runner is a scaling joker that scales its own chips

[tall wharf]

oh

playing card

ok

[stiff locust]

I want the hiker effect but it adds mult instead of chips

but the value you increase for that is called perma_bonus so idk if there's an equivalent for mult

[tall wharf]

i'd start with makig custom card ability

[elder vapor]

there isn't but you can easily add your own permanent versions of stuff

[tall wharf]

liek playing card ability

[elder vapor]

thats what i did

[stiff locust]

alright then how do I do that

[violet void]

you would need to add it after perma_bonus

[elder vapor]

its usually a few lovely patches

[stiff locust]

this is a lot for 1 showdown blind effect of 1 fusion but excessive is my middle name so i'm fine with it

[stiff locust]

do you need to do anything else to make these functional

or do they just work

[elder vapor]

yeah you need to go to the respective Card:get functions to make them work

[stiff locust]

i don't know what that means

[elder vapor]

since you're doing mult you want to target this function

[violet void]

which then you call here

[dreamy thunder]

how can i make a joker have 2 luck factors? like "if 1 in 100 do this but if it hits 1 in 1000 do this"?

[elder vapor]

so using a pattern function, replace return self.ability.mult with return self.ability.mult + (self.ability.perma_mult or 0)

[dreamy thunder]

ok first method i tried was correct i just messed it up

[stiff locust]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-hitori-gotoh-bocchi-anime-dazed-gif-27118681

yeah i'm kinda stupid ii think that's too much

i can just make it give 1.25x mult when a card scores and not scale

[dreamy thunder]

nice

[violet void]

what does the third do

[dreamy thunder]

some unbalanced shit

[stiff locust]

why does it say print

[violet void]

you can do it

[dreamy thunder]

its the concept of the mod

[sonic cedar]

it's a printer

what else would it do

[stiff locust]

like I definitely can do it but

it's a lot for something that like, nobody is gonna get to see anyway

this is an effect that would trigger after you start a speciifc showdown blind with a specific fusion (that being the chicot fusion)
if it were a regular joker fusion and not a legendary one i'd consider it

[violet void]

you gotta tell us now

[stiff locust]

even if you get the joker it's a 1 in 5 chance you get the showdown blind in question

[violet void]

showdown blind? thats a new term

[dreamy thunder]

nothing interesting

but i might tweak the numbers

[tall wharf]

if anyone can help with this i will be very much appreciated https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/3d1ef24b19a9eb3b0699d297d9fab982290348f0/modules/pokerhands.lua#L73

[stiff locust]

that's the term bonus blinds uses for the final boss blinds

[weary jungle]

^7 billion mult

[violet void]

oh I see

[stiff locust]

is that not the common name for them

[dreamy thunder]

or add some other stuff

[dreamy thunder]

oh thats more interesting

[weary jungle]

i hear finisher blinds around

[stiff locust]

the wiki says finisher blinds

[violet void]

what about boss blind

thats even shorter

[stiff locust]

.

the last blind of every ante is a boss blind

[frosty dock]

that's any boss blind though

there's no "official" user-facing terminology

[violet void]

ah right

[frosty dock]

showdown is what the game code uses

[violet void]

true true

[dreamy thunder]

wait how do i make that

[weary jungle]

idk

[dreamy thunder]

ima figure somthing out

[weary jungle]

check cryptid

[stiff locust]

.

[dreamy thunder]

oh yeah

[stiff locust]

just make it win the game

[crisp coral]

us modding nerds use showdown

[tall wharf]

is there a better way to debug

[weary jungle]

how do you make a consumable cound as any planet card for observatory

[crisp coral]

them normies use finisher

[tall wharf]

lmfao

other than 999 print calls

[weary jungle]

i use finisher 😢

[crisp coral]

998 print calls

[tall wharf]

😭

[stiff locust]

five hundred debug prints

[tall wharf]

why am i not debugging in normal lua environment to see if it would even work

[weary jungle]

print call every frame

[tall wharf]

why am i stupid

[weary jungle]

wdym

[tall wharf]

like

[stiff locust]

because you'd need to import a bunch of base balatro stuff to make it work in a normal environment

[tall wharf]

instead of desinging the algorithm in the game

[stiff locust]

and that's a lot of work

[tall wharf]

like

algorithm design

why do i not do it in a normal lua file

[dreamy thunder]

nah that would be boring

watching some op mult going on is better

[rough furnace]

DebugPlus is actually just a really convoluted collection of print statments

[stiff locust]

then make it give X100 mult 10 times

[weary jungle]

i love print statement

[dreamy thunder]

i'll try ^7billion

[tall wharf]

hello someone said op

maybe not this

[weary jungle]

DO NOT!

way too much

theres a reason why cryptid gives only like ^3

I want all last three lines to be grey.
Would this work or I have to add the modifier in each of the strings?

[dreamy thunder]

i did that 6 times in a row. I put the code outside of the brackets

each

[dark kite]

okay yeah but consider

        name = "Prideful Joker",
        text = {
            "Played cards with",
            "{C:stars}#2#{} suit give",
            "{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult when scored",
        }
    },```

this is correct is it not

[weary jungle]

check your loc_vars

[glass scaffold]

Ah. You cannot use the same atlas and textures for 2 Jokers.

[weary jungle]

it does the wiggly thing

try :juice_up(0.8, 0.8)

after

so set ability, then juice up

[bold sleet]

ok

That ain't the spinning animation I am looking for.

I am looking for the one used when enhancing cards and stuff.

[tepid crow]

he means for e.g. sigil or ouija

where it shows the back of the card

[bold sleet]

ye

[weary jungle]

oh

:flip()

[bold sleet]

ah

thanks

[weary jungle]

then flip again afterwards iirc

[tepid crow]

and make sure to :flip() em back afterwards haha

[weary jungle]

we are so in sink

[tepid crow]

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1985991742_10.jpg

[bold sleet]

lmao

flip flop

[weary jungle]

let that sink in

[bold sleet]

now, how do I delay the second flip so it doesn't look weird as heck?

... or delay stuff in general.

[hardy viper]

event manager stuff

steamodded documents it on wiki

[weary jungle]

delay()?

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[hardy viper]

?

[bold sleet]

Me when my stupidness kicks in

[weary jungle]

i saw it somewhere

[wintry solar]

Delay only delays events

If your code isn’t in an event it’ll evaluate straight away

[dreamy thunder]

gonna settle down with this

[dreamy thunder]

i tried

it didnt show up

[rough furnace]

I love this gif so much

[dreamy thunder]

i mean i can just make it x4011

[glass scaffold]

why he feet so freaky big

[dreamy thunder]

yeh i made it x4011

[hardy viper]

the better to play balatro with of course

[stiff locust]

anyome know if there's a way to make a joker immune to having its values changed by things like cryptid oil lamp

[rough furnace]

i feel like theres a config otion you can set to tell cryptid to leave you alone

[stiff locust]

that'd be nice

but i'm not sure where i'd find it

[glass scaffold]

You can blacklist the mod in your mod code.

Jen's Almanac does this for Pokermon.

[stiff locust]

what

jen moment

[rough furnace]

generally my thought it to not break other mods with my mod

i'd probably ask in the cryptid thread or it's dev channel

probably morep eople who would know there

[glass scaffold]

Extracted right from the source.

But yes, ask the official dev.

[stiff locust]

isn't this like

malware technically

classic jen moment I guess, christ

[glass scaffold]

Ehh, that's a dicey definition.

[rough furnace]

time to lovely patch jen's in my mod

[viscid bough]

is that the balatro font

[glass scaffold]

m6x11plus

Yep.

[stiff locust]

i guess i should ask in cryptid yeah

[viscid bough]

were can you download that font? now i gotta put it in my code thingy

[stiff locust]

you can grab it fron the balatro code i think

resources/fonts

[stiff locust]

this is the font in question

[tepid crow]

isn't this a list of mods that will stop Jen's Almanac from loading if detected

[rough furnace]

I mena this could just be conflicts then with steamodded

[glass scaffold]

It'll just make Balatro "crash" if they're detected.

[rough furnace]

but this is code

[glass scaffold]

It'll tell you to either remove Jen's Almanac or the blacklisted mod.

[tepid crow]

yeah

[rough furnace]

ok

[wintry solar]

They don’t conflict though right? Isn’t it just jens personal choice that you shouldn’t use those mods?

[stiff locust]

fusionjokers/infinite fusion i could see actually conflicting

the rest, probably personal choice

cryptid discord scares me i ended up going and looking around and coming back

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/wiki/Adding-Cross‐Mod-Content-[Under-Construction]#disabling-features

[stiff locust]

oh this is super nice

thanks

[gilded narwhal]

IM SO GOOD AT PROGRAMMING

sorry

that took like 30 minutes

[viscid bough]

what is going on i dont get it

[cyan dune]

Ah, I never even considered the implication of having that many hands on the first few antes

[weak brook]

@rough furnace hey i've got a lot of reports of awful glitches happening with our matador-like joker retriggering horribly, do you think you could add matador to ModdedVanilla example so I can see how to properly do the context filtering on it

even when i mimicked vanilla it retriggers like 5 times

[gilded narwhal]

This deck makes it so you have like a bajillion hands and discards so to balance the hand money I had to make it to where it's $1 per 6 hands

[rough furnace]

whats your calculate look like?

[viscid bough]

oh i see it now

[viscid bough]

Did you check for context.repetition

[weak brook]

yeah hang on i'm screenshotting the calculates

originally it looked like this which caused an infinite loop of upgrades due to it not returning

then i switched it to this

but it still retriggers way too many times

[rough furnace]

I feel like that context check is too narrow

[weak brook]

yeah

just not sure what im missing

i tried printing context to see if there were any to add but didnt really get too far with that

[rough furnace]

so when do you want this to trigger

[weak brook]

just like matador, it triggers when boss blind ability is triggered. once

but its a scaling joker that upgrades chips

[rough furnace]

oh wait I was thinking luchador

[pine thunder]

does anyone know how to make the upgrade message on a scaling joker display on the joker itself? i feel like this should work, but the "upgrade" message still appears above the cards rather than on the joker

    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and not context.blueprint then
      if context.other_card.ability.effect == "Lucky Card" and not context.other_card.lucky_trigger then
        card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chips_mod
        return { message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), card = card, colour = G.C.Chips}
      end
    end

    if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
      if card.ability.extra.chips > 0 then
        return 
        {
          chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
          message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } }
        }
      end
    end
  end```

[rough furnace]

seems like it just uses context.debuffed_hand

[weak brook]

shit you're right

how did i miss that

think me and myst both missed that pretty sure they added the context filtering, might be misremembering though

[rough furnace]

looks like you still need the G.GAME.blind.triggered as well

[rough furnace]

does adding card = card to your return work?

[weak brook]

yeah i kept that there

[pine thunder]

card = card is already there

you can ignore the second half thats just about the final message when it scores that works fine

[rough furnace]

oh I was looing at the wrong return

just a sec

[pine thunder]

card = card and card = other card do the same thing which feels... wrong

[weak brook]

no wait its not just that actually

cause that doesnt account for all the other stuff

matador has two instances of the upgrade in the code

one for that context

[rough furnace]

Does juice_card = card work?

[weak brook]

and one for else

[rough furnace]

it seems like its check is with context.before true

[pine thunder]

well it fixes the problem but now the lucky cards are shaking a second time?

[rough furnace]

what does your return look like now?

[pine thunder]

return { message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), juice_card = card, colour = G.C.Chips}

[rough furnace]

hmmm

[pine thunder]

the color isnt working either but who cares

[rough furnace]

I wonder if this is a new calc bug or not

@wintry solar is this a bug or do we just not know how to use calc?

[weak brook]

christ almighty we need a blind ability triggered context it seems like if i wanna make this work i have to actually filter out literally every context thats listed before the else in the code

[sonic cedar]

what am i LOOKING AT 😭

[pine thunder]

someone in my discord found a solution, focus = card works

[rough furnace]

oh man theres another context for this

we really need new calc docs

[pine thunder]

the color still doesnt work but i can live with that i guess

[sonic cedar]

i tried doing the print eval

[rough furnace]

eval is a function

[sonic cedar]

eval is a function im stupid

i literally just set it to one am i foolish

[tall wharf]

😭

i legitimately could not debug because print is going to crash the game

[rough furnace]

how would print crash your game?

[tall wharf]

printing too many times

[rough furnace]

I don't see how it would?

[sonic cedar]

oh

[rough furnace]

I've printed like multile times per frames for a logn time and it was fine

[tall wharf]

i love modding

[rough furnace]

yikes

[sonic cedar]

i hate modding (i love modding)

[rough furnace]

what version of DebugPlus do you have?

[dreamy thunder]

y'all its holy banana time

[bold sleet]

Is there an extended guide on how to actually use this?

[dreamy thunder]

(dont mind the rarity)

[tall wharf]

ill update debugplus in case that has something to do with ti

[rough furnace]

wait what does your DebugPlus > config look like?

[sonic cedar]

no config icon 💔

[tall wharf]

showHUD=true
logLevel="WARN"
ctrlKeybinds=false
debugMode=true
showNewLogs=false

[brittle stump]

I want to make mod that enables negative card modificator as part of game

[tall wharf]

mod is WIP 💔

[rough furnace]

no like in the gui

[tall wharf]

still having problems with that recursive shit i am talking about

[brittle stump]

Like, so i wouldn't need to use debug mod

[rough furnace]

I forgot to properly mark dev versions for the last bit so I can't tell if your on it rn

[brittle stump]

Do you have any advice how to do it

[rough furnace]

okay so thats weird

what are you printing?

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/2b7975f11c6ed93f56b1fef508f3f78efd8f4bfa/modules/pokerhands.lua#L91

a lot of recursion

that's probably why idk

nvm

i am stupid lmao

hold up

[rough furnace]

might be

[thick panther]

in SMODS.Blind, how is boss defined? Is it boss = { min = #, max = # }?

[tall wharf]

lemme limit the depth it prints

[rough furnace]

also if you upgrade DebugPlus you can just do print(table) and it will expand it for you

[stiff locust]

how do you do dump_loc with the new json metadata

[tall wharf]

yup limiting the streak depth fixed that

[weary jungle]

does glitched automatically change things or do you have to do other thins

[rough furnace]

"dump_loc": true

[stiff locust]

glitched changes values when the edition is applied and never again

iirc

[weary jungle]

like if i had a consumable with config.extra, do they get changed or do you have to specify that they will be changed

[rough furnace]

I think its autoamtic

[frosty dock]

🤔

[rough furnace]

hows the performance?

also aure hjow praticle do you think it is to not call a joker's update every time (for the vanilla ones)

[frosty dock]

yet to test performance, gonna go eat smth first

[frosty dock]

probably works for vanilla ones, though I'd have to check the use cases

[rough furnace]

I want to make a lazy_update where it will only be called in a few cases instead of every frame and I would want to make some vanilla jokers use it for performance

my thought for when it's called is

• generating hover ui (loc_vars)
• before calculate
• before/after add_to_deck (not sure exactly)
• remove_from_deck
• I'd have to double check other places

[sonic cedar]

urgghh now it just crashes after the third round blind

[cedar stream]

how does one convert this to the new calc system

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect) if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition and not card.debuff then effect.mult = pseudorandom_i_range(pseudoseed("mtg-squirrel"), 1, card.ability.extra.max) end end

[thick panther]

is there a way to set the boss blind using DebugPlus?

[cedar stream]

you can hit reroll boss blind

but there may also be a thing you can do in the console to do it

[bold sleet]

I ask again: how does one make a custom deck? mainly, what the heck do I put in config = {}?

[maiden river]

go to your collections, hit "blinds", then hover over the blind you want and press 3

[thick panther]

Nice, didnt know that was a thing. Thanks!

[maiden river]

no problem

it works for cards & the like too

[sonic cedar]

for the config question put your variables' values in config

[warped mason]

What language does Balatro use anyway

[maiden river]

lua

[wooden badge]

lua

[sonic cedar]

lua

[warped mason]

Oh good

I can learn two games at once

[viscid bough]

anyone know how i could make a joker that counts all cards as wildcards?

[maiden river]

just made yet another joker

[cedar stream]

how does psuedorandom work with the new steamodded?

[bold sleet]

idk how this works. Is there a place where I can read more about whatever the heck this is?

[sudden dew]

Look at code for smeared joker

Probably have to patch in a change to card.lua

[nocturne estuary]

is there a way to prevent the Play Hand/Discard Button row from not coming back up again after more than 1 voucher is redeemed at the same time?

[warped mason]

Now I want to figure out how to do art So I can try my hand at Balatro modding

[cedar stream]

wdym by that

[thick panther]

When making the SMODS.Atlas for SMODS.DeckSkin is the px and py the same as other cards (71x95)?

[warped mason]

The card arts

[cedar stream]

if you use krita i have a template for the card size made

should probs put it in #1224362333208444989

[warped mason]

is it all just pixel art?

[thick panther]

Does SMODS.DeckSkin want the skin images to be just one suit each (4 atlases total) or can they all be in one image?

[dull saddle]

yeah

[wintry solar]

The colour should be capitals that’s why it doesn’t work

I’ll take a look at the message location stuff

[cedar stream]

is is now in there

[runic pecan]

Where can I look up all the sound I can play with play_sound function?

nvm found them

[nocturne estuary]

?

[late kindle]

hey there, would it be possible to make a joker discard cards in hand, similar to how the hook does?

[cedar stream]

yes, but i dont know how it works, and expecially in new calc

[late kindle]

yeh i’m trying to wrap my brain around how the hook works rn

[cedar stream]

in the mod im helping work on, there is a card that discards your entire hand, but i have not tested if it works in better calc, so let me check on that

[late kindle]

sorry i’m brand new to modding, what’s better calc?

[cedar stream]

the new system for steamodded that was recently added

[late kindle]

ah okay ty

[cedar stream]

so it apears that it is not working with better calc, so im going to try and work on it

[viscid bough]

Idk if i used patching right or not but this doesnt seem to work.

Do i need to reference patches in the json file or smth? or put it in a specific folder

[frosty dock]

pattern patches can be tricky with multiline iirc

you don't need a lovely patch for this, we have quantum enhancements

[cedar stream]

what is this?

[viscid bough]

will that wrok for what im attempting? i want my joker to make all cards work as wilds

[frosty dock]

you can just put this in your joker's calculate

if context.check_enhancement then return { m_wild = true } end

[late kindle]

okay ty anyway!

[frosty dock]

this will make all cards act as wild cards in addition to any other enhancement they might have

[viscid bough]

i see. Thanks! had no idea this was a thing

[cedar stream]

@frosty dock so do you know how pseudorandom works with ne calc? or where to find any refrence to work off of

[frosty dock]

wdym

pseudorandom isn't affected by new calc

[cedar stream]

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect) if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then return {pseudorandom_i_range(pseudoseed("mtg-squirrel"), 1, card.ability.extra.max)} end end

as an enhancment

[frosty dock]

you're just returning a table with your random number at index 1

if you want it to be evaluated as an effect, you need to tell it what effect it is

mult? chips? dollars? hand levels? how would I know

[cedar stream]

object_type = "Enhancement", key = "squirrel", atlas = "mtg_atlas", pos = { x = 0, y = 6 }, config = { extra = {max = 6}}, overrides_base_rank = true, weight = 0, in_pool = function() return false end, loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) return { vars = { card.ability.extra.max} } end, calculate = function(self, card, context, effect) if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then return {pseudorandom_i_range(pseudoseed("mtg-squirrel"), 1, card.ability.extra.max)} end end
full code

[frosty dock]

ion need the full code

I just need you to make your calculate function tell the game what it's doing

[cedar stream]

the effect is trying to do a random +mult on a D6 (+1d6 mult)

[frosty dock]

you're not telling the effect to be +mult

your effect's key currently is the number 1

[cedar stream]

oh, so its missing the effect

[frosty dock]

return { mult = yadayadayada }

[cedar stream]

also how do i change the suit of a card in a similar way to something like the sun or moon

was that changed?

[sudden dew]

If you want to figure out how to do something that already happens in the game, you can look for it in the game's files. Anything that a tarot card or joker does will be in card.lua

[cedar stream]

well i have looked but cant find anything there that works

[stiff locust]

is there anywhere internally that stores boss blinds you've defeated this run

i wasn't paying attention and my joker did an oopsie but i need to know which boss it was on

[gilded narwhal]

Check obsidian orb from cryptid

Pretty sure it uses something like that

Hey what's the context for playing a hand that I can use to activate like the second you push the button? Because I'm trying to make a joker that makes it so hands have a chance to use 2 hands instead of 1, but most of the contexts I normally use for jokers happen after ease_hands_played(-1).

[stiff locust]

cool thanks

[stiff locust]

context.before

triggers before the hand scores

[gilded narwhal]

Lemme try

[sand oasis]

is there an easy way to determine that you're on a boss blind?

[stiff locust]

when you enter the blind, context.setting_blind and context.blind.boss does the trick

[cloud ore]

hey there! is there an easy way to add collab face cards to the game or is there a public template that you can use to add em? thanks

[sand oasis]

thank you!!! i thought it was a context thing but the drop-down autoconplete list didn't show this

[brittle stump]

Hi do you know mod code templates

I want to test something

[thick panther]

Balatro be looking a little sus

[cloud ore]

anyone?

[thick panther]

Like the skins? SMODS.DeckSkin can work with that

[cloud ore]

yeah the collab skins

[sand oasis]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua i think this should help?

[thick panther]

Theres some info on the SMODS wiki, though it is a bit bare bone. https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

[thick panther]

This is what I did for mine. This is for all Spade cards. You can remove which ones you dont need in the ranks section:

-- Spades
SMODS.DeckSkin{
    key = 'skin_key',
    suit = 'Spades', --Spades, Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds
    ranks = { '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', 'King', 'Ace' },
    lc_atlas = 'SkinAtlas',
    loc_txt = 'Skin Name Here'
}

[sand oasis]

actually how would you apply these in context? for reference this is what i'm trying to whip up, i've gotten it to work without checking for boss blind

[brittle stump]

I just want to make mod so you could find negatives modification in playing card booster packs

Given steammodded gave this thing functionality

I can't just leave it untouched, u know

[cloud ore]

ty!!! if i release the mod to the public i will credit you if you want

[stiff locust]

if context.setting_blind and context.blind.boss then
  bossflag = true
end
  if context.joker_main and bossflag then
    ---joker_main code
  end
if context.end_of_round then
  bossflag = false
end

something like this
probably put bossflag in extra

[thick panther]

nb. You dont have to credit me if you want.

[sand oasis]

thank you! would you just initialize bossflag without any value?

[brittle stump]

Like i don't want to make jokers or anything like that, i just want negative cards be available without debug

[stiff locust]

initalize with false

[sand oasis]

sick

thank you so much

[thick panther]

How would I replace the Ace of Spades on the title screen with a different card?

[faint yacht]

Talisman's lovely.toml patch has an influence on the card, you can check there?

[brittle stump]

So yeah, can anyone help me

Expecially those who have expirence with it

[thick panther]

I see it in there. is there anyway to do this in lua or do I just need to use a lovely patch?

[faint yacht]

Haven't seen a Lua example, so no.

[violet void]

do you guys know any mod that adds custom seals

[thick panther]

I think cryptid does

[violet void]

I checked, it doesn't

[faint yacht]

Green Seal, Code cards.

[stiff locust]

azure seal too

[wintry solar]

Cryptid just has a stupid file structure

They’re in there somewhere

[faint yacht]

Cryptid\Items\CodeCards.lua, search for local green_seal = {.

[thick panther]

for making a lovely patch, do I just create a lovely.toml file or do I need to do something in my main lua file for it to work?

[faint yacht]

Lovely checks for any .toml files.

[violet void]

ty!

[thick panther]

I see Talisman has a [manifest] header with dump_lua = true. What does that part do?

[faint yacht]

The lovely folder in Mods contains a dump folder with the changes to the .lua done by patches from what I can see.

Makes it easier to see if a given patch was applied, maybe? I just kept the dump_lua part as-is.

[vagrant cedar]

Is there a way to make hand size automatically equal your deck size? Or should I just make the handsize a massive number

I want a Joker called "52 card pickup" that just makes you draw every card in your deck

[faint yacht]

#G.playing_cards is the number of all cards.

[thick panther]

Cryptid also has a joker like that if you need reference

[faint yacht]

Effarcire, to be specific.

[thick panther]

would I be able to change the replace_card on the title screen to a modded suit with a lovely patch? it seems to crash when I do so.

[vagrant cedar]

What would I need to change here?

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/78b16fbc28c4d61cbbd2303edc0e85f54efa943a/Items/Exotic.lua#L283-L310 See this for the potential implementation.

[sonic cedar]

where would i start in terms of creating a custom ability? gonna try a different approach with this joker's code

[frosty dock]

hm this doesn't fully work in terms of quantum ranks

it can find invalid straights and even invalidate previously valid ones in some cases

[tall wharf]

are you also figuring out the straight algorithm

[frosty dock]

yes

[mortal arrow]

hi guys !
i was wondering, how do you create a balatro mod ?

[tall wharf]

🔥

[tall wharf]

i wish you the best of luck

i am going to give up on this

[frosty dock]

what i have currently should work for arbitrary split paths on single rank cards

[violet void]

I've tried making it like cryptid but the localization doesnt work (it keeps showing "test")

[frosty dock]

try removing the loc_txt

[violet void]

that was in the example seal file

it was outdated I take it

[frosty dock]

you use either a loc_txt or a localization file

not both

[violet void]

mmm I see

ty

[dreamy thunder]

i hate everything about pools

[tall wharf]

can i like borrow yuor'e code or something i am so tired

[frosty dock]

i can check if there's actually a valid straight with hall's theorem or similar but i don't love the idea of doing this on every iteration

esp given checking every subset is exponential w length

I think I'm holding off on quantum ranks for now

[tall wharf]

honestly not a big fan of math 😭

i am too stupid for this shit

[violet void]

is it different than Jokers where I could use loc_txt and the localization file?

also removing loc_txt from my seal made it worse

[frosty dock]

i don't mind too much, I'm currently taking graph theory anyways

[tall wharf]

😭

i study com sci and i don't know shit

[frosty dock]

tbf the course I'm taking doesn't focus on the algorithms that much

[edgy reef]

I took the required math classes and dodged everything else

[tall wharf]

im sorry for yoinking the code i want to do something more fun than coding straight algorithm for 3 days straight

[edgy reef]

I barely remember physics and that’s honestly a good thing

😭

[tall wharf]

like https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/2b7975f11c6ed93f56b1fef508f3f78efd8f4bfa/modules/pokerhands.lua#L73

i tried 3 times

and it's all a giant mess

[nocturne garnet]

the card choosing part doesnt work yet but the ui part does :3

[minor magnet]

context.other_card.lucky_trigger is not working, is it the right variable for seeing if a lucky card triggered?

this is my code

it doesnt give money like, at all

even if it should

[vagrant cedar]

I just reworded that

[nocturne estuary]

does anyone know why the play/discard buttons don't come back up after redeeming more than 1 voucher at the same time?
is there some function to force it to show up again?

[thick panther]

if I have global vars defined in fileA.lua and I use SMODS.load_file on it in fileB.lua, would I be able to access those vars just by calling them?

[minor magnet]

"You draw the {s:2.2}ENTIRE FUCKING DECK{}"

[vagrant cedar]

lmao bet I'll change it to this

[minor magnet]

can anyone help with this?

[sudden dew]

Does smods have an API for adding global values for a run that should be saved when exiting the game?

[cerulean rose]

effarcire

@wintry solar how do i add info_queue stuff to decks in galdur?

[frosty dock]

no need for an API, you just put your values in G.GAME

or any cardarea or the ability table of a card in a cardarea

[sudden dew]

Ahh gotcha, i put it in G and not G.GAME

Thank you

[wintry solar]

Use {T:key} in your description

[tall wharf]

mr john smods can we have a mod that just adds poker hands with more than 5 cards as like a reusable part for many mods

or does that already exist and i am just slow

[frosty dock]

i don't see why we couldn't have that, afaik there's no uniform system in place

cryptid has ascended hands, which wouldn't want to have anything to do with other hands with more cards

[cerulean rose]

could fuck up cryptid's ascended hands

[tall wharf]

maybe also for additional hand selection

[gilded narwhal]

Anything immediately jump out as wrong here? (hands_per_hand is in a patch)

[nova scroll]

disregard my message, person i'm working with figured it out

it's literally just {C:spades}

[cerulean rose]

not G.GAME.current_round.hands_remaining == 1 could be reduced to G.GAME.current_round.hands_remaining ~= 1

[nocturne estuary]

can someone please help me with this?

[cerulean rose]

huh, after you said that it just worked

swear it wasn't working before

weird

[sudden dew]

What do you mean by more than one voucher at the same time?

[nocturne estuary]

if I redeem more than one voucher back to back using this code:

function redeem_voucher(voucher)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
        local voucher = create_card('Voucher', nil, false, nil, nil, nil, voucher, nil)
        voucher.cost = 0
        G.FUNCS.use_card({
            config = {
                ref_table = voucher
            }
        }, true)
        return true
    end
    }))
end

it will put the game into a state where the play/discard buttons are gone and the only thing I can do is select cards or do some other stuff

[gilded narwhal]

Okay guys for some reason this doesn't activate on the first hand of round

[violet void]

Someone is trying to download my mod but they keep getting this crash, on the other hand it's not happening to me

How do I troubleshoot this?

[sudden dew]

It looks to me like when your custom voucher is redeemed, you're creating another copy of it and redeeming that copy. is that what you're trying to do?

[nocturne estuary]

it's not custom vouchers, only in game ones.
All I am trying to do is claim 5 random vouchers when a joker is sold

the code I sent is the voucher redeem code but I also have the other code pieces for picking the 5 random ones.
I can send that code too if needed

[sudden dew]

Is there a reason you're not calling `voucher:redeem()'?

[thick panther]

Does the wording make sense or can it be worded better? The X2 mult does not stack with the X3 mult.

[nocturne estuary]

how would I get the voucher object though?

[sudden dew]

Aren't you creating it with local voucher = create_card('Voucher', nil, false, nil, nil, nil, voucher, nil)?

[nocturne estuary]

yea, but didn't you say that that makes a copy? or did I understand that wrong?
(keep in mind that I am new to lua and modding balatro)

ok so I tried your suggestion

it does redeem them correctly

but now there are copies of them on the screen

also is there a way to change their position?

[sudden dew]

What argument is getting passed in to function redeem_voucher(voucher)?

[cerulean rose]

how to get whether a consumable is owned or still in the shop?

[wintry solar]

do voucher:redeem() iirc

[nocturne estuary]

a string of the vouchers name, stored in these two tables:

local base_vouchers = {
    'v_overstock_norm',
    'v_clearance_sale',
    'v_hone',
    'v_reroll_surplus',
    'v_crystal_ball',
    'v_telescope',
    'v_grabber',
    'v_wasteful',
    'v_tarot_merchant',
    'v_planet_merchant',
    'v_seed_money',
    'v_blank',
    'v_magic_trick',
    'v_hieroglyph',
    'v_directors_cut',
    'v_paint_brush'
}

local advanced_vouchers = {
    'v_overstock_plus',
    'v_liquidation',
    'v_glow_up',
    'v_reroll_glut',
    'v_omen_globe',
    'v_observatory',
    'v_nacho_tong',
    'v_recyclomancy',
    'v_tarot_tycoon',
    'v_planet_tycoon',
    'v_money_tree',
    'v_antimatter',
    'v_illusion',
    'v_petroglyph',
    'v_retcon',
    'v_palette'
}

[sudden dew]

Gotcha. After calling voucher:redeem() you can can voucher:remove() and that should get rid of the copies on the screen

[nocturne estuary]

alright

[wintry swallow]

i'm pretty sure you can pull this out of a table within the data and don't have to keep track of all this manually

[nocturne estuary]

and how would I change where the voucher appears?

[nocturne estuary]

what table is it? I haven't found one

[wintry swallow]

oh vouchers are legally cards

[mellow stirrup]

first joker babyyyy

[nocturne estuary]

ah

[wintry swallow]

G.GAME.P_CENTERS, look for set == 'Voucher'

[wintry swallow]

that art is mad clean

[mellow stirrup]

thanks, I worked hard on my jokers

[sudden dew]

That's a more complicated question, because the game has different logic for putting cards in different places on the screen. What I would do if I were you is think of an effect in the game that puts a card where you want your vouchers to go, and then look at the code for that effect and copy whatever is moving the card to that place

[wintry swallow]

if i were implementing this i'd do an inordinate amount of bullshit for something nobody notices like making the joker's texture have its sell value on it

[nocturne estuary]

ok

[mellow stirrup]

here's a not-yet-implemented joker I'm quite proud of (Foolproof)

[nocturne estuary]

doing this makes the voucher not appear at all on screen

[mellow stirrup]

another one I'm very proud of

[cerulean rose]

i'm making a consumable that depletes money on use and want to prevent the player from using it if they don't have enough money

[wintry swallow]

the JOKER!!! button

[cerulean rose]

so i'm trying to account for the cost of buying the card in my can_use functions

[wintry swallow]

what's this one supposed to do

[mellow stirrup]

BIG RED BUTTON:
When sold, instantly clears the current blind, and sells all other jokers.

[wintry swallow]

oh wow

[mellow stirrup]

it's intended to be an emergency escape button

[wintry swallow]

kinda like mr bones but more impactful

[mellow stirrup]

pretty much yeah

[wintry swallow]

hmm

let me think, i think the single thing i'm proudest of in the mod i'm making is the bugfix i implemented for making madness (and other boss jokers) activate on the first two blinds on an ante even if they are bosses, like this

[mellow stirrup]

Foolproof's original idea isn't that great in all honesty so I'm probably going to do something else, but the original concept was that it stopped jokers from showing up while you had it and granted a x7 multiplier (minus 1x for every joker you had but it)

[fleet mountain]

PDTA mentioned

[mellow stirrup]

the joke is that it's foolproof, so no more jokers show up

[fleet mountain]

Purple deck

Is there any tutorial on how to make mods?

[wintry swallow]

this is done by completely overwriting context.blind in calculate_joker with something called a "proxy object", which is a blank table with a special metatable which essentially "redirects" all accesses to another object, but intercepts certain keys (in this case blind.boss) and runs its own logic to determine what value it should give back

[wintry swallow]

do you know lua? that's the best place to start

[fleet mountain]

kind of

i know its like simplified C#

[mellow stirrup]

I have a couple of joker arts I need to add code to so here's the others why not

[wintry swallow]

eh not really, lua and c# are totally different beasts imo

but anyway

[fleet mountain]

the telephone is good

[wintry swallow]

you'll wanna start out by making a folder in %appdata%\Balatro\mods called whatever you want, and then following this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[fleet mountain]

My problem is i have 2 of 3 skills perfectly fine

pixel art and concepts

[fleet mountain]

thank you

[tall wharf]

every blind is a boss blind but your hand side is 16 and you can play 10 cards at a time

[mellow stirrup]

Missing Poster is directly based on Walter White's missing poster but don't tell anyone

[tall wharf]

I'm crying

[wintry swallow]

hand size and hand count is normal, actually, it's a custom challenge, but you get 6 hands a round and 5 discards

in exchange, grabber/nacho tong/wasteful/recyclomancy are all banned

[frosty dock]

removed the quantum rank jank because it wasn't working properly and would have to be a lot more inefficient. it looks to be about as fast as the previous implementation but slower with shortcut. Seems to be noticeable only when evaluating straights on larger amounts of cards, 28 cards gave me around 4x compared to previous, with 5 cards there's practically no difference

[tall wharf]

I'm going to make my own challenge

[wintry swallow]

i will probably be reusing this proxy object system a bunch because it's very useful for hooking values

[wintry swallow]

gl, look at SMODS.challenge

i just have a loop that loads a bunch of files and evals them, passing the result to SMODS.Challenge

like such:

-- Challenge loading
local challenges = {
    'test',
    'stencil_joker_1',
    'escort_mission',
    'the_lion',
    'power_scaling',
    'bleed',
    'low_selects',
    'eternal_egg_1',
    'eternal_egg_2',
    'low_hands_1',
    'low_hands_2',
    'grand_master',
    'bullshit',
    'power_scaling_2',
}

for _,i in pairs(challenges) do
    -- use a metatable here to swap out the challenge custom rules to provide a description if locked?
    local ch = SMODS.load_file('challenges/'..i..'.lua')()
    ch.key = i
    if not ch.deck then
        ch.deck = {}
    end
    ch.deck.type = 'Challenge Deck'

    if not ch.unlocked then
        ch.unlocked = function(self) return true end
    end
    if ch.debug and not NSC_DEBUG_MODE then goto continue end

    SMODS.Challenge(ch)
    ::continue::
end

[fleet mountain]

what if there was a boss blind called the floor where you have to score less than the actual blind or you lose

[wintry swallow]

ignore the comment about reworking the vanilla unlock system

that's on the roadmap, but i haven't done it quite yet

i am very confident i can pull it off though

[tall wharf]

i will be adding 30 stickers

[cerulean rose]

funny, i had the same idea and tried to implement it in my mod

[fleet mountain]

what is thy mod?

[cerulean rose]

strange pencil

[fleet mountain]

sweet

I wanna do like

[cerulean rose]

didnt work out tho cus of balatro's ante skip glitch

[wintry swallow]

vanilla challenge definitions do not support adding rental or perishable stickers to jokers, nor do they support consumable editions, i have written lovely patches to add support for those things because i use them

[fleet mountain]

Jokers and stuff for mods but all i can really do is art and stuff

[cerulean rose]

if you ran out of cards it would just increment your ante forever

[tall wharf]

"cards not played previously this ante are debuffed"

[wintry swallow]

TECHNICALLY there is support for consumable editions, but it's limited to them only showing up in the challenge select menu -- once the run begins they will all be default, which is very undesired

it is literally a one line patch though

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
priority = 0

# Make consumable editions appear in game
# The game technically already has support for this, but it's incomplete
# (they show up in the challenge select menu, but when entering a run they're default edition)
# Game#start_run
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "add_joker(v.id, nil, k ~= 1)"
position = "at"
payload = '''
add_joker(v.id, v.edition, k ~= 1)
'''
match_indent = true

[tall wharf]

must play 7 cards

[wintry swallow]

adding custom challenge modifiers also kinda sucks but i've got it down

(custom rules like "blinds don't give reward money")

especially if your rules want more than one locvar

[cerulean rose]

that's already in the base game i thought?

[wintry swallow]

that is in the base game yes, i was giving it as an example of what i'm talking about

[wintry swallow]

my modifiers look like this

[gilded narwhal]

why tf does this happen i literally changed nothing and it stopped working

[wintry swallow]

internally they look like this

[vagrant cedar]

Can someone read this to me

[wintry swallow]

best place to start diagnosing a crash is to crack open %appdata%\Balatro\mods\lovely\dump

that has the dump of the game's code with lovely patches applied so line numbers will be right

'attempt to compare number with nil' sounds like you should be returning a value someplace, but aren't

[gilded narwhal]

it's this line right here

if pseudorandom('troubadour') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/4 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_remaining > 2 then

[cerulean rose]

is there a good way to find what cardarea a card is in

[gilded narwhal]

maybe current_round.hands_remaining is nil for some reason?

[dreamy thunder]

im finally out of ideas

[wintry swallow]

wait why are you using pseudorandom('troubadour')

are you trying to reimplement troubadour

oh

also

it's hands_left

not hands_remaining

[gilded narwhal]

yeah I'm rebalancing it for a specific deck

[wintry swallow]

i use this variable here

hands_remaining does not exist therefore it's nil, the right variable is hands_left

[gilded narwhal]

Weird, it worked when I had it earlier

[wintry swallow]

it should never have worked

[gilded narwhal]

I mean

It did 😭

[wintry swallow]

the jimbo demons haunting the codebase

[gilded narwhal]

true...

Okay yeah that fixed it

ALSO

For some reason it's not proccing on the first hand of round even when the probability is 100%

[wintry swallow]

talking about pseudorandom has given me an idea for a challenge mod

"All probability-based effects are guaranteed to occur"

which would majorly buff eg bloodstone etc but it would also include things like michael/cavendish's chance to break

[gilded narwhal]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.config.ttr_red then 
    if context.before and not context.blueprint then
        if pseudorandom('troubadour') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/4 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left > 2 then
            G.GAME.hands_per_hand = 2
        else
            G.GAME.hands_per_hand = 1
        end
    end
end

end, ```

[gilded narwhal]

lucky cards would give 20$ every trigger 😭

That would nullify any negative effect

[wintry swallow]

that gives me an interesting idea

make it an econ challenge

[wintry solar]

what is hands_per_hand

[wintry swallow]

"You lose 0.1x mult for every $20"

[gilded narwhal]

oh it's in this patch to make it so the cost of a hand can vary

[wintry swallow]

so this has a 1 in 4 chance of using 2 hands to play one hand

if you have 3 or more hands remaining anyway

[gilded narwhal]

Yeah

It would be kinda bs for you to lose when you have 2 hands and troubador rolls into using 2 hands

[sand oasis]

I'm wracking my brains trying to understand why this doesn't work - it's modeled off the logic of The Idol and the Walkie Talkie and i can't nail it down

certainly not a spelling issue i hope but i'm guessing there's part of the syntax i don't actually understand so I'm not using it correctly

[wintry swallow]

what do you mean doesn't work

[sand oasis]

it doesn't provide Xmult and the message doesn't show up when the conditions are met

[wintry solar]

smods version?

[sand oasis]

should be 1.0.0 alpha

[wintry swallow]

which one

would bettercalc even break this

what does the upper right of your title screen say

[wintry solar]

no but I dont remember what the key should be in old calc

[frosty dock]

alright if anyone wants to have a look at this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/389

[sand oasis]

1.0.0~Alpha-1220a-STEAMODDED

[wintry swallow]

1220 is very out of date huh

for reference the latest version before bettercalc is 1303a

[wintry solar]

1304a*

[frosty dock]

1304a*

[sand oasis]

wow that's weird

[wintry swallow]

wasn't 1304 literally the bettercalc patch

[wintry solar]

no

1306 was better calc
