[tepid crow]

you can

[faint yacht]

...how I do prevent a tag that spawns booster packs doing its' own thing whilst an another one is being "opened" from a previous tag?

[frosty dock]

nvm not shipping with sleeves, i really shouldn't be trying to make art myself

[zealous glen]

Do it

I had made the silliest temporary arts and people asked me to make it permanent

[devout zenith]

y'all i think i overdid it a little

[violet void]

nvm

[winter thorn]

Zayum x7

[devout zenith]

yeah im def toning that down to x5

[winter thorn]

That’s way too good for a common

[tepid crow]

Just ship it and don't worry too hard about the art haha. I'm pretty sure someone is still using the placeholder sleeve art for one of their sleeves

[violet void]

it probably shouldnt reset so you eventually have to sell it

[haughty kiln]

so it loses 0.25x mult each time you repeat the hand during the round?

[frosty dock]

i'll keep the middle as painted sleeve's, i can't come up with something better rn

doesn't look that terrible tbh

[devout zenith]

yeah it reduces the mult by 75% when you repeat the first poker hand

(reduction doesnt stack though)

[haughty kiln]

oh so it goes from 7x to 1.75x after repeating the hand

[devout zenith]

*X5 to X0.25 after adjustments

basically if your first poker hand doesnt one shot you're fucked

[haughty kiln]

wouldn't 75% of 5 be 1.25x rather than 0.25x?

[devout zenith]

i might have explained it wrong

X5 mult for the first poker hand
but when you repeat that hand it's X0.25 mult

[haughty kiln]

so basically an acrobat on steroids at the start of a round

[devout zenith]

yeah

[haughty kiln]

should probably be uncommon at least imo, for a common that's very powerful even at x5

maybe even rare

[devout zenith]

maybe rare

thinking of setting it to rare

[hushed briar]

does something else need to be done before taking ownership of another mod's object?

    {
        rarity = 2
    },
    true
)```
doing this just makes the joker disappear

[devout zenith]

ok i think this is much better now

[zealous glen]

Watcha doin’ Isabella

[elder vapor]

X5 mult is a little too strong

[violet void]

its not common anymore at least

[violet void]

feels like cand(ace) shouldve done something with aces 🤔

[devout zenith]

i kinda wanted to give her a mechanic that would be a little bit faithful to the show

[violet void]

yes thats better

also I like the sprites

[devout zenith]

since candace tries to show her mom the boys' invention but it then disappears before she sees it

ty

[violet void]

do you have a thread?

[dull saddle]

candace has the endurance of sisyphus to continue each day tbh

[devout zenith]

i should probably make one

[violet void]

i might or might not have a cartoon to suggest

[elder vapor]

once i'm finished with my current mod i'll make a slay the spire themed mod (since i haven't seen any)

[devout zenith]

yeah it works

[frosty dock]

pov smods.calculate_repetitions doesn't support deck effects

[lusty epoch]

No It works it just makes it disappear from the collection

[dusk garnet]

new to modding with balatro, quick question; how do i properly create a new rarity?
a bit of searching led me to try

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = 'prefix_test',
    loc_txt = { name = 'Test' },
    badge_colour = HEX('708b91'),

    default_weight = 0,

    pools = {},

    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end
}

...


SMODS.Joker {
...
rarity = 'test'
}

which throws attempt to get length of local pool (a nil value)

follow up question; how would i do gradients in the rarity display (haven't tried anything with that yet - will search for that later)

[cedar stream]

well i kinda just threw myself at any crash or error i would get from launching the game till something worked

[frosty dock]

the rarity's key here shouldn't have the prefix, but the rarity string of the joker should

[dusk garnet]

oh damn, thanks

yeah

works now!!

[dull saddle]

i have a bug, unaccounted for calculate context i think, my cards held in hand retrigger after winning the round, after the final scoring hand is aready played/calcuated, here is what it looks like in game.

[dull saddle]

Heres the lua code for these jokers, this ones for diamonds but all are identical besides suits``` SMODS.Joker {
key = 'vaingloriousjoker',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Vainglorious Joker',
text = {
"{X:red,C:white}1.5{} Mult for each",
"{C:diamonds}Diamond{} suit held in hand",
}
},
config = { extra = {
X_mult = 1.5,
suit = 'Diamonds',
}
},

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return { vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }
end,
rarity = 3,
atlas = 'SinfulJokers',
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
cost = 8,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
blueprint_compat = false,
eternal_compat = true,
perishable_compat = false,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.individual and
  context.cardarea == G.hand and
  context.other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") then
    return {

      message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.X_mult } }
    }
  end
end

}```

[cedar stream]

what steamodded version

[sturdy compass]

What's that empty context.

[dull saddle]

the bit tahts just a blank context is not currently running in game

sorry that was me runnign the wheels in my head earlier lemme fix that

[dull saddle]

updated it an hour ago so the latest i hope

1.0.0 alpha 1313f

[cedar stream]

what is the crash log

[dull saddle]

theres no crash just unintended features

[cedar stream]

ah ok

[dull saddle]

it doesnt impact gameplay at all i dont think, but it tirggers the held in card hands and adds it to the numbers left from the previous blinds winnign hand before moving on to the pay out screen and the sotre, it doesnt get rid of those numbers in the hcips and mult slots until the first card is selected next blind

[wintry solar]

You want context.cardarea == G.hand and context.main_scoring

[dull saddle]

so i was wondering if there was a timing context i should do rahter than jsut an area THANK YOU

[cedar stream]

what does 'contex.main_scoring' do exactly

[wintry solar]

It’s just the main scoring timing

Easier to reference than checking for not lots of things

[dull saddle]

the phase timing to trigger during the main scoring time rather than any other time

[cedar stream]

so it would be a way to trigger the same time as when wrathful or greedy joker triggers

if im understanding correctly

[dull saddle]

unfortunately its not the correct timing as now the cards dont activate at all

hmm

i think theres a specific timing for held in hand which is what i need

i will resume hunting through the smods wiki to see if i can find anyhting there

[glacial zinc]

are you able to modify the score of a hand after its been calculated?

[frosty dock]

smods wiki is not updated to better-calc

[dull saddle]

darn

[frosty dock]

could be that something else is wrong, got me the code?

[cedar stream]

i might have a snippet of code that might help

[dull saddle]

its only triggering when a blue seal would be trigger, but doesnt affect the like? playable score since its only after a round ends

[dull saddle]

oooo

[dull saddle]

    key = 'pridefuljoker',
    loc_txt = {
      name = 'Prideful Joker',
      text = {
        "{X:red,C:white}1.5{} Mult for each",
        "{C:hearts}Hearts{} suit held in hand",
      }
    },
    config = { extra = { 
      X_mult = 1.5,
      suit = 'Hearts',
    }
    },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
      return { vars = { card.ability.extra.x_mult } }
    end,
    rarity = 3,
    atlas = 'SinfulJokers',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    cost = 8,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.individual and
      context.cardarea == G.hand and
      context.main_scoring and
      context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
        return {
          mult_mod = card.ability.extra.X_mult,
          message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.X_mult } }
        }
      end
    end
  }

[viscid bough]

anyone know how i can go about getting and using a random consumable without destroying it?

[cedar stream]

when is the joker supposed to do stuff?

[frosty dock]

oh this is a joker

[dull saddle]

when affects triggered in hand, liek shoot the moon or baron

[glacial zinc]

to clarify i wasnt responding to your question oops

unless you knew that

[dull saddle]

sorry

[glacial zinc]

no its ok dw

[frosty dock]

you still want context.individual for jokers

but not main_scoring

that's a playing card thing

[dull saddle]

but? i have that?, yeah we need the timing for held in hand

[frosty dock]

just remove the context.main_scoring part

    if context.individual and
      context.cardarea == G.hand and
      context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

[dull saddle]

okay so now its back to when it would trigger after the round?

thats what i had it as originally

i tried the main socring timing context but obvs taht didnt help

[cedar stream]

could this work for a enhancment that did something similar?

[frosty dock]

    if context.individual and
      context.cardarea == G.hand and
      not context.end_of_round and
      context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then

[dull saddle]

thank you!

will try this out

[dull saddle]

maybe? i havent messed aroudn with enhancements yet

[frosty dock]

depends on what you mean by something similar

for enhancements you'd want a context.main_scoring check

[wintry solar]

I am stuck in fixing enhancement code and keep recommending the wrong context 😂

[cedar stream]

can i see what you are doing, in a vc or something , cuz i made some enhancments mostly from scratch

[dull saddle]

double check ur x's are capitalized correctly that was the culprit for me earlier today

[cedar stream]

shhhh we dont need to talk about it

[sturdy compass]

That looks to be it LOL

[wintry solar]

I’m not free right now, butyour code isn’t structured correctly in terms of loops

[cedar stream]

this isnt the part of code that i made

thats the one i made

[dull saddle]

IT WORKS!

[viscid bough]

Anyone know how i can go about making a joker that activates a random held consumable without destroying it?

[dull saddle]

you might have to have it duplicate it? instead right before activating it

[pulsar flower]

where is G.load_shop_booster defined? i can't seem to find it at all

[wraith topaz]

So I looked online on how to make a modded joker and just never showed up, could a coder give me some advice?

[viscid bough]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/blob/master/SMODS.Center.md

this shows the structure for jokers

for abilities you can see this
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[wraith topaz]

Thank you.

[weak brook]

are there any examples of mods anyone knows of that have booster packs of consumables where the consumables arent immediately used?

i wanna make a booster pack just select cards to add to consumables, or ideally both an option to select and select and use

[faint yacht]

Cryptid's Code cards.

[weak brook]

thanks

[cedar stream]

couldnt you just check the way that buffon packs do it? then mess around some with that?

[weak brook]

i was trying that but it seems like theres some fuckery with the game code where buttons are decided based on objecttype or something

[cedar stream]

betma vouchers adds something that allows you to take stuff from packs

[viscid bough]

anyone know how i can detect whenever money is gained? And how i can also set the money to a specific value?

[zealous glen]

@ionic verge

You can ignore the vic contexts because I patched them in

[ionic verge]

thanks

[zealous glen]

and probabky the last check for the deck size

[ionic verge]

i got it from here

[zealous glen]

there's some more changes actually but you can figure it out

[faint yacht]

...still not sure how I can prevent multiple copies of the tag to interfere in with one another.

apply = function(self, tag, context)
    local lock = tag.ID
    if context.type == "immediate" then
        G.CONTROLLER.locks[lock] = true
        tag:yep('+', G.C.ORANGE,function() 
            local key = 'p_toga_togazipboosterpack'
            local card = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*1.27/2,
            G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h/2-G.CARD_H*1.27/2, G.CARD_W*1.27, G.CARD_H*1.27, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS[key], {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})
            card.cost = 0
            card.from_tag = true
            G.FUNCS.use_card({config = {ref_table = card}})
            card:start_materialize()
            G.CONTROLLER.locks[lock] = nil
            return true
        end)
        tag.triggered = true
        return true
    end
end,

[cedar stream]

what is the 3rd line in the provided code here trying to do?

[faint yacht]

Not sure myself, tbh. Was looking at Meteor Tag as example...

[cedar stream]

try replacing the == with ~= and see what that does, not saying it will fix it, but what it would do

[faint yacht]

...actually, I just was using the wrong "context" for this too, lmao.

[cedar stream]

cuz sometimes you got to break your code to fix it

[solar tide]

Hi !
We have some bugs, the card need to just add 1 time 200 chips but we dont know why, it add 2 times a row 200 chips per hand. Someone can explain why ?

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'Joker', --atlas key
    path = 'Joker.png', --atlas' path in (yourMod)/assets/1x or (yourMod)/assets/2x
    px = 71, --width of one card
    py = 95 -- height of one card
}
SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'La fraise', --joker key
    loc_txt = { -- local text
        name = 'Petite Michelle',
        text = {
          '{C:chips}+#1#{} Jetons',
          '{C:green}#2# chance(s) sur #3#{} que cette',
          'carte soit détruite',
          'à la fin de la manche'
        }
        },
        atlas = 'Joker',
        pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
        config = {extra = {
            t_chips = 200,
            odds = 6 
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.t_chips,
        G.GAME.probabilities.normal,
        center.ability.extra.odds}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.before and not context.after and context.poker_hands and next(context.poker_hands) then
            return {
                message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_chips", vars = { card.ability.extra.t_chips } }),
                colour = G.C.BLUE,
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.t_chips,
            }
        end
    end
}```

[cedar stream]

we?

[solar tide]

just cause i worked with a friend ^^

[cedar stream]

ah

[solar tide]

🥺

[cedar stream]

is it supposed to trigger on a certain poker hand?

[solar tide]

no

just when u play an hand

we want to add 200 chips

we want to made a joker like the banana but with a strawberry just add 200 chips for each hand played

[cedar stream]

oh its not context.poker_hands

[ionic verge]

so this is gonna be used to disable the boss blind on the last hand, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that right?

[solar tide]

what i need to put, bcs before put that, the card trigger a lot

like 7 or 8 times

[cedar stream]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and not context.blueprint and not context.repetition then

that should be the correct one^^

[solar tide]

we going try this

can u explain me

[cedar stream]

are you in like a vc or something?

[solar tide]

ye do you want we come for explain us

[cedar stream]

yea, if you could invite me

[ionic verge]

to my amatuer eyes it looks like if the card area is the playing cards being played, something, not being duped by blueprint, and not a repetition of said playing card

[frozen patio]

How do I get the descriptions of editions to appear on a card (like wheel of fortune, or Ectoplasm)?

[ionic verge]

oh i think i know this one

[zealous glen]

the same way with enhancements

add the key to the info_queue

[ionic verge]

i dont see why this shouldnt be working, any thoughts?
i dont see any missing bracket or comma

[zealous glen]

missind end

[ionic verge]

shit

thanks

does context.blind.boss not function? cus i see it being used in card.lua but it crashes when i parse it with my joker

for context this happened the moment the joker should have activated, and the if statement is line 299

[zealous glen]

not all contexts exist all the time

[ionic verge]

mhm

[zealous glen]

but you can always try to find the current blind

hold on

[ionic verge]

i dont think i saw a function for that in the documentation

[zealous glen]

G.GAME.blind.boss

[ionic verge]

yknow, that makes sense actually

thanks

[glacial zinc]

how could i get the current amount of chips during a joker's calculate function?

[zealous glen]

not sure you can

[glacial zinc]

to clarify i mean chips as in the chip_mod

darn

[zealous glen]

you would need to patch or hook it

[glacial zinc]

how would i go about doing that?

[frozen patio]

does this also work for stickers?

[cedar stream]

wdym

[zealous glen]

maybe?

[cedar stream]

like applying stickers?

[zealous glen]

I mean, I don't know, maybe track it globally

[frozen patio]

i'm trying to have the description of a sticker show in the info queue of a joker

[zealous glen]

or just pass it as a new context

[zealous glen]

oh wait

like

Eternal?

[frozen patio]

yes

[glacial zinc]

i meant more about how would i hook the evaluate_play function

[zealous glen]

I mean, how one would hook anything else, but this is really work for a patch I'm pretty sure

[full kayak]

G.playing_cards[i]:change_suit('Hearts')

What is the equivalent of the above for changing the value of the cards to all be 9s?
I'm assuming change_suit is something along the lines of change_value but I haven't found the correct code

[viscid bough]

can someone explain to me what ease_dollars() does

[glacial zinc]

im moreso saying ive never done any hooking/patching before and would like to be pointed in the direction on how to go about doing that lol

[zealous glen]

it changes your dollars

[faint yacht]

local evalplayref = G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

function G.FUNCS.evaluate_play(e)
  -- if stuff needs to happen before original code, put here.
  evalplayref(e)
  -- stuff that needs to happen after original code
end

[zealous glen]

stuff probably needs to be inside the original code

[faint yacht]

That, yeah, Lovely patches... 😅

[merry raven]

I'm making a custom sticker that acts like some sort of timebomb, don't play it for one hand and it detonates
What contexts should I use to check that if the card with the sticker is in hand and any hand is played without it

[glass scaffold]

Anyone know the dimensions for a Blind chip? I'll assume that it needs its own SMODS.Atlas.

[frozen patio]

The badge on my sticker says "ERROR" for some reason. Do I need to specify text for it, or should it be automatically using the sticker name?

[elder vapor]

32x32

@glass scaffold

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

[elder vapor]

localization.misc.labels[sticker key]

or just put the label in yor loc_txt if you don't use a localization file

[zealous glen]

Maybe see how Steel cards work

[merry raven]

Looking through the source code, most of them are just Steel Joker calculations, can't seem to find one that's focused on Steel Cards' calculations

[elder vapor]

i would say in the calculate function, check for card.area == G.hand and context.after imo

[merry raven]

What's the difference between card.area and context.cardarea

[elder vapor]

card.area is the area of the card the sticker is attached to, context.cardarea i assume would be the area of the current context

since its a sticker i would use card.area but its up to you

[merry raven]

I'll try it out

[weak brook]

god i hate writing ui code

took forever for this to work

[merry raven]

Just as painstaking as using CSS

Thanks copilot

[weak brook]

turns out theres so many things wrong with this anyway

cant use this fucking hell

has anyone figured out how to put buttons on different sides of the card at the same time

for a booster pack

[dusk harness]

Hello friends, im looking for pointers to start writing a mod, where would you guys tell me to start, plz ping with when answering

[glass scaffold]

There's documentation over at https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki and of course, you can ask for help here.

[merry raven]

Yeah, look into that first

[dusk harness]

thanks i will be back with more questions when im done reading that

do i need to be on PC for it to be easier or mac will work fine?

[zealous glen]

There's also a repo for example mods

PC is easier but people have modded on mac

[dusk harness]

good i will go down the hard path and come back to pc if i struggle too much

[weak brook]

hey victin

would you happen to know how to help me with my woes with card button ui

[zealous glen]

I would not @_@

[weak brook]

damn

i wish i could talk to someone who knows what they're doing with this

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

using this code from cryptid to do this

but i hate how it looks

i wanna add it on the side

[zealous glen]

Betmma made activatable cards

Can you copy the code that creates use buttons for consumeables

[arctic pawn]

yeah

[weak brook]

activatable cards? which mod of theirs adds that

[arctic pawn]

change function?

[zealous glen]

Betmma's

[weak brook]

theres a few of those

[zealous glen]

Abilities

[weak brook]

ah thanks

[zealous glen]

also maybe this helps

cr is "center right"

I believe

not surebmi

[weak brook]

i know bm is bottom middle

[zealous glen]

there's also a horizontal offset

[weak brook]

never seen the i there

[merry raven]

Godspeed keku
If you come out on the other end with a win, you could put your mod up as an example on implementing custom USE buttons

[zealous glen]

every mod is an example

it's just some are harder to read

[glass scaffold]

Does the SMODS.Blind documentation work for ALPHA-1304a?

[zealous glen]

like Betmma's abilities

[dusk harness]

can you link me to said repo

[zealous glen]

I couldn't understand it

[glass scaffold]

Because every time I try rendering my custom Blind, it keeps crashing.

[zealous glen]

they were moved here https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[dusk harness]

thanks

[merry raven]

And Cryptid's source code is a fuckin enigma

[zealous glen]

at least you can always ask math

[dusk harness]

i tried reading it to give me an idea of how to get started and couldnt figure out anything

talking about cryptid here

[zealous glen]

yeah try reading vanilla, the wiki, and the examples first

then maybe some simple mod like Cosmos

I mean you could go simpler with Fish but

[dusk harness]

i can explain what i want to do and maybe you'll be able to give me better pointers?

im trying to get a mod that just reads the game state and transmits it to a twitch extension

[weak brook]

hmm this bettma abilities code isnt really showing me anything im actually looking for

[weak brook]

where was this code from

cause i couldnt find it in abilities

[dusk harness]

so i can get the joker description and use them to overlay on mouse over on twitch

[zealous glen]

I feel like someone has tried doing something similar. It might be easier to ask @mellow sable if they know

[mellow sable]

the game state in general is in G.GAME

[weak brook]

hmm ok

[zealous glen]

Also now that I think about it Fusion Jokers used to be a mod

[mellow sable]

I don't know anything about Twitch API, but there's a Discord RPC mod called "Distro" and a mod called TwitchBlinds that interacts with a streamer's Twitch chat

[zealous glen]

a bit outdated but it might help

[mellow sable]

both of those code resources would probably be pretty useful for what you're trying to do

[faint yacht]

...which function executes applying a random edition (even modded ones) to an already existing Joker?

[dusk harness]

thanks so much for the pointers, ill look on github to find the mods

[zealous glen]

some combination of set and poll edition presumably

[weak brook]

main thing i wanted to see if i could figure out was if i could get buttons to show like this
https://i.imgur.com/WqbXq3E.png

[zealous glen]

Steamodded recreates both?

[weak brook]

like buy from shop

[mellow sable]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1267185254633050153

[zealous glen]

try adding a second sell button

and a second use button

should be easy just copy-paste-patching vanilla code

[weak brook]

nah the issue with that is if i add onto a use button thats on the bottom, its still on the bottom

then both are on the bottom

dont want that

[zealous glen]

that's what the sell button is for

[weak brook]

i mean if i could add a side sell button to the buttons on the booster pack cards, and then edit it to not sell, i would do that, but i just tried to do that for like an hour

ui code is hard

[onyx inlet]

Is there any reason why this should result in a blank name and description for a joker?

    key = "schrade",
    loc_text = {
        name = "Schrade",
        text = {
            "Schradecorp CEO"
        }
    },
...
}

[zealous glen]

Did you try using Cryptid code or vanilla code

[weak brook]

both

for one cryptid code does this

which isnt what i want

and vanilla i just cant figure it out

[zealous glen]

hmmm

See if Fusion Jokers help

or again ask @mellow sable

[weak brook]

alright ill look into fusion

no not quite, this is still both buttons on one side of the card https://i.imgur.com/UoQZigS.png

yeah math do you know how i could achieve what i'm looking for here?

I wanna set up booster pack UI where use is the bottom button, and pull is on the right, like this https://i.imgur.com/dXtcTQd.png

@mellow sable

[faint yacht]

'tis for me? If so, that doesn't account for modded editions iirc.

[dusk harness]

might have been for me

[mellow sable]

Gonna be real I don’t really remember how I did it because it was a while ago

The PULL/USE UI was yoinked from Betmma mods

I also added a FLIP button for the Double Sided edition but that was a pain to implement and still a bit finicky

[zealous glen]

@weak brook I think the code I sent you is the code that controls the positions of the buttons

[weak brook]

i almost had a thing going where i put the buttons on the side of the card by putting some big ass padding thing before it so it got pushed to the right but that ended up blocking clicking on that invisible padding

[weak brook]

yeah it does but idk it still doesnt really address my main thing which is how can i get them to have two different alignments at once

[zealous glen]

If they're in your Consumeables are, the button is offset horizontally. Otherwise (in the shop) it's offset vertically (down).

[weak brook]

that code like changes where the buy button is but thats both in different cardareas

[zealous glen]

But one button is always to the right

and the other is sometimes offset down

I think you can imagine both buttons behind the card, then offsetting one to the right and the other to the bottom

[weak brook]

hm

that could work

just gotta go through a bunch of trial and error shit again with this ui code

[zealous glen]

oh also

Malverk had some buttons

I had forgotten about it

[weak brook]

i wanna also make sure that the position of either of these is not affected by if the other one is not present you know

ohh shit

malverk

i think you're onto something

i gotta check that ui

[nova finch]

how do you make a rarity that doesn't appear in the shop?

[zealous glen]

I mean this code seems to handle both Jokers and Consumeables

and Jokers can't be used

so it should work

[weak brook]

no i mean like

two buttons

[zealous glen]

probably setting the weight to 0 or using in_pool idk

[weak brook]

in the same ui block

[zealous glen]

I think it should always have both

But make one inactive

That's how Consumeables work

maaaybe you could figure out how to keep the button but make it invisible

[weak brook]

oh yeah we could do that by making the color clear

[zealous glen]

[weak brook]

https://i.imgur.com/EtjupAp.png poggggg

time to copy this

[zealous glen]

[zealous glen]

I also wanted an UI similar to Malverk for DeckSkin management

at least for the Random DeckSkin option

[weak brook]

oh yeah speaking of that

have you taken a look at my repo

i sent it to onesuchkeeper but i dont think they've done much with it after i explained it all to em

[zealous glen]

not yet sorry

[weak brook]

ah its alright

[misty cape]

Hey all, could somebody point me in the correct direction to learn more about setting up a config? It would be very simple with maybe 2 or 3 options. This is what I have so far, but not sure where to even start with building a config. #1328320443693662311 message

[vagrant cedar]

Anyone know the context for when a hand is played?

I'm trying to make this joker trigger when a hand is played, but it's currently going when a blind is entered

So what do I replace context.setting_blind with?

[faint yacht]

Do you want to do stuff before, during or after the cards score?

From what I can assume, though, context.before.

[dusk harness]

good job thats very cool progress

[random sleet]

yeah space joker is before

and that sounds like the type of effect they're going for

[vagrant cedar]

I HAVE MADE THE LORD'S CARD

that's awesome

are you streaming them or do you just have a gigabyte of family guy in the mod

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1328206226064150631 could someone gimme feedback on the jokers ive posted here?

[vagrant cedar]

I only have the one episode rn

[onyx inlet]

Hey all, I have been breaking my brain trying to learn this SMODS stuff, and I am struggling to even get a functionless joker to work. I could really use some direction. This is the entirety of my SchradeJoker.lua file. The joker shows up in the collection with the correct image, but it has no name and no description, and I have no idea why.

    key = "SchradeJokerAtlas",
    path = "Schrade.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'schrade',
    loc_text = {
        name = "Schradecorp CEO Schrade, esquire",
        text = {
            "After each hand, train",
            "a played card for",
            "Schradecorp"
        }
    },
    rarity = 1,
    atlas = 'SchradeJokerAtlas',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 1,
    discovered = true,
    unlocked = true,
}```

[dusk harness]

how do you guys get the autocomplete to show up in you editor for something like the Game or SMODS?

[sick sparrow]

wow, steamodder ignores mod's json and treats this mod as lovely

[onyx inlet]

Which mod?

[sick sparrow]

might be because of circular provides?

[hardy viper]

install luals and ensure the balatro source code and the steamodded code are both in your workspace
also look out for this pr https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/399

and by install luals, it's a vscode extension called "lua" by sumnekk

[sick sparrow]

it might be

[hardy viper]

i imagine you have it but regardless

[dusk harness]

by adding to work space do you mean move them to the same folder or just do Add folder to workspace work?

[hardy viper]

the two you just mentioned both work, there is a third that involves a file in the top folder of your workspace intended to "point" luals at the steamodded folder (idk any more because i just have my entire balatro folder in my workspace and I don't use autocomplete anyways)

[sick sparrow]

how to put other mod's atlas to this mod?

as i fallback to joker when atlas fails to load, it appears as joker instead of correct atlas (will crash if didn't fallback (all users))

[dusk harness]

is this normal ?

[edgy reef]

I was really hoping that one wouldn't show up.

[dusk harness]

i know my if is not complete

[sick sparrow]

as you can see it appears as incorrect card atlas

[hardy viper]

no, probably just use main steamodded until that PR is ready

[sick sparrow]

the leftmost joker card is that atlas that i want to apply

[dusk harness]

oki, thanks 🙂

[hardy viper]

i was under the impression it was in a usable state but apparently not

idk why i assumed that it's a draft

mb

[dusk harness]

no worries

[edgy reef]

Weird part is it doesn't happen through Neovim but does with VSCode

Idk how or why cause nothing seems to indicate that defining a method means it's automatically required.

[dusk harness]

i was using nvim right before this and it wasnt super might go back if you tell me it works if i have a copy of everything in my folder

[hardy viper]

neovim should be fine or better for balatro honestly

im not sure though

not a vim user

if the luals definitions work better in neovim that's great

[dusk harness]

alright, i need help setting it up, step by step or more detailed explanation than the github thnig

cause right now on nvim it says undefined global smods

[edgy reef]

To be precise, creating or extending a class seems to make Lua Diagnostics think that all class methods must be defined within the object.

[dusk harness]

so weird...

[dark kite]

yeah sure man whatever

[dusk harness]

what does the star 8 do

[dusk harness]

adding the .luarc.json worked

[dark kite]

stars and suits are just two new suits

was trying to get them to work with smeared joker

[dusk harness]

i dont think it worked, but who knows

maybe its not a bug its a feature

[dark kite]

it def didnt

considering even with smeared

clubs diamonds hearts and spades do not make a flush LOL

[wind turtle]

this is why i love modding

making the stupid shit nobody should

[random sleet]

(it also doesnt work)

[nova finch]

trying to make a legendary joker-esque rarity for my album jokers
they'll all have a gold frame :>

[sick sparrow]

if context == G.hand and (not (context.repetition or context.end_of_round or context.first_hand_drawn)) then
end

[nova finch]

How do you check the amount of cards in a played hand?

[hardy viper]

#G.play.cards

where G.play is the cardarea played cards go into, cards is the list of cards in G.play, and # is the length operator

[nova finch]

so if i wanted a joker to trigger when a hand is 4 cards would i use it like this?

[hardy viper]

yep

[nova finch]

k

thanks!

[hardy viper]

np

[dry merlin]

do you think making the outfits more balatro related would be too much? like maybe the 4 sin suit jokers?

[sick sparrow]

how to merge 4 jokers without overproducing? (it's automatic)

[hardy viper]

genuinely what

[sick sparrow]

if there's 4 identical joker, it merges by deleting self and 3 others, then prevent others from doing so

[analog pilot]

no that would be dope

just make the outfits their colors

[dry merlin]

i was gonna say to make it the legendary jokers but theres 5 of them

[analog pilot]

also what all albums are you planning on doing out of curiosity?

[hardy viper]

every album ever tbh..

[nova finch]

I don't really have a plan I'm just thinking of random albums

[analog pilot]

I have a suggestion

[dry merlin]

dark side ez

instead of the rainbow make it the 4 suit colors

[analog pilot]

this would go so hard as a joker

(snowing - i could do whatever i wanted if i wanted)

[tall wharf]

Will you be adding this

[nova finch]

already there

[dry merlin]

nice

thoughts on my suggestion with the suit colors?

[nova finch]

maybe

[tall wharf]

https://youtu.be/cyq5-StPISU

guess i ain't getting a response from that

I'll take that as a no

[random sleet]

(i needed context.cardarea == G.hand and context.main_scoring oops)

[dusk harness]

been hearing this song a lot because of my GF XD

does anyonre know how to get the cards from the hand of the player?

[dry merlin]

g.hand.cards?

[dusk harness]

thanks

[dry merlin]

thats what raised fist uses i think

[dusk harness]

oh i didnt think of looking at that, thats genius

thanks imma go check

[tall wharf]

i love Ado

you know what

if that person doesn't make it i will

and actually while I'm there i might as well

a deck you can't play if you don't know Japanese

[dusk harness]

where can i find that? i seem to have clicked on all the files and i cant find where the effects for raised fist are applied

[dry merlin]

i think all the jokers and card effects are in card.lua

[dusk harness]

thanks

[nova finch]

joker's done
now i just need to make a way to get it

[flat ridge]

You should make a thread for album suggestions, unless you aren't wanting a ton

[sick sparrow]

how to put other mod's atlas to this mod?

[nova finch]

I mean you can put suggestions in the post for the mod itself

[dry merlin]

SMODS.load_file("filename.lua")()

[flat ridge]

my bad, wasn't aware this actually existed lol. Theres a ton of mods in there

[sick sparrow]

no, i meant other mod's atlas and not loadfile

[nova finch]

yeah lol

[dry merlin]

oh oops atlas

[runic pecan]

Forgetting the second S in SMODS is such a rookie mistake of mine...

[tall wharf]

anyone can make that mistake

[runic pecan]

That's why I call it rookie
A moment everyone could have done once or twice on their path

[merry raven]

Working on a custom sticker's effects and I want to make it so that it executes the rest of the code I defined in calculate when any other card is played except for the card with the sticker

I have this currently, but nothing really happens after I play a hand without the stickered card on it
if card.area == G.hand and context.after then

Any insights?

[dry merlin]

shouldnt it be context.cardarea == G.hand?

[vagrant cedar]

Anybody wanting to help me experiment with the new "breakthrough" we've made within Balatro?

[edgy reef]

I despise the fix for this since it forces the removal of comment denotating function params and returns but oh well.

[vagrant cedar]

We've made it to where you can play videos within Balatro

[edgy reef]

I guess @overload is just too scuffed

[vagrant cedar]

I'm trying to make it play a random one instead of a specific one

Anyone able to help with this?

This is going to be more complicated than the average Joker

[tall wharf]

apparently everyone is doing the select more than 5 cards thing custom hands so I'm not gonna do it anymore

[dry merlin]

like a random URL or a random one in the files

could you just use the same math that glass cards use when selecting a shatter sound effect file

[vagrant cedar]

Within files

[dry merlin]

heres the glass card code

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        blockable = false,
        func = (function()
                play_sound('glass'..math.random(1, 6), math.random()*0.2 + 0.9,0.5)
                play_sound('generic1', math.random()*0.2 + 0.9,0.5)
            return true end)
    }))

could you use something like this?

where each sound file is named glass1.ogg, glass2.ogg etc up to 6

personally im not sure if the second math.random is for selecting a random one or setting like a random pitch

[sick sparrow]

me trying to set atlas in a way that set_sprite does and got weird results

[vagrant cedar]

I'm not sure, give me a bit

[dull saddle]

make sure youre only increasing the numebr in increments of one and have the size set correctly for the atlus reference

so for the first thing in your atlus, x 0 y0 but the second would be x 1 y 0 and the one beneath the first would be x 0 y 1

it measures across the atlus png in a grid based on the size of the atlus keys

i think

[sick sparrow]

made the sprite_set be ```lua
set_sprites = function(self, card, front)
card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS["gerioc1_geriolish_1"]
card.children.center:set_sprite_pos(self.pos)
end,

it won't let me set correct atlas and i circumvented with this

[dull saddle]

sorry i have no idea what this is i cant help

[dry merlin]

can anyone help me? im trying to have a card enhancment that works like blueprint, right now its just using the effect of walkie talkie for testing. but it wont trigger when the condition is met (that being that its next to a 10 or 4)

  calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        if context.individual then
            local other_card = nil    
            for i = 0, #context.scoring_hand do
                if context.scoring_hand[i] == card then other_card = context.scoring_hand[i+1] end 
            end
            if other_card ~= nil and other_card ~= card then            
                if context.other_card:get_id() == 10 or context.other_card:get_id() == 4 then
                    return {
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                    card = context.other_card
                    }
                end
            end

which mbdtf cover should i make

[narrow pendant]

It's a busy album cover lol

wow lol

[sick sparrow]

and with this i fixed the problem

by putting some extra code and valid mod atlas

All of them. But truly Power or Monster would be sick. While Hell of a Life would be easy and clean

[sick sparrow]

this is case when steamodded dosen't cooperate

You were asking for recommendations for Jokers the other day and I don't think I actually gave mine

[spice garden]

ive been uh, adapting some art into jokers, myself. pretty fun.

lmao

not all are sussy. this one is from a MTG card

pretty sure someone was doing a mtg mod

[spice garden]

cool. im just reskinning vanilla jokers myself.

[wary monolith]

Had a quick, probably simple question. Brand new to both lua and modding Balatro, but have plenty of other programing experience.

If there is a variable created in the base game's game.lua file, what would the best way be to inject/replace it with my own version of that variable during runtime?

Like in this case, if I have the title_top variable, and I want to modify its W and H values, what might be the best way to go about doing that with Steamodded?

self.title_top = CardArea(
        0, 0,
        CAI.TITLE_TOP_W,CAI.TITLE_TOP_H,
        {card_limit = 1, type = 'title'})

[tall wharf]

what if i make custom music for my special mechanic

[spice garden]

im interested in how easy it would be to make a custom music mod. (im a music producer)

[vagrant cedar]

Shouldn't be too hard

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

[tall wharf]

adding wordle to balatro

[spice garden]

im not a "modder" per se, tho. i can just barely read crash logs. but if all it requires is replacing the sound files in a templated mod someone already made... i'd be cookin.

[tall wharf]

i already have the necessary foundation in place to do it

I'll add wordle as boss blind

[spice garden]

crazy. would you guess/spell the word with the different ranks in a hand representing letters?

[tall wharf]

you just spell out words

why the 💀

[spice garden]

idk

default npc reaction

[tall wharf]

why did someone react east timor flag

[random sleet]

because i assumed "tl" was thailand (it is not)

this is thai right

i tihnk you were talkin about it before

idk

brain broken

[tall wharf]

Timor-Leste

[random sleet]

alright well i'm going to just throw my laptop out the window now

[tall wharf]

tho yes it's Thai

[sturdy compass]

Is there an easy way to get least frequent rank in the deck? Or do I have to loop through the entire deck and keep track of it myself?

[tall wharf]

@spice garden

[vagrant cedar]

Just sitting here watching Family Guy inside my Balatro

How's yall day

[nocturne garnet]

😨

[rough furnace]

jut win the run

[sick sparrow]

and i got killed by death card in shop

[graceful quail]

Anyone have any clue what the issue could be?

[sick sparrow]

i turned an death card into literal lethal card

[tall wharf]

ok

[tall wharf]

actually what's the point if you just lose

[merry raven]

SMODS.Sound({ vol = 0.3, key = "machine_garden_mote_spawn", path = "machine_garden_mote_spawn.wav" })

Importing a custom sound, does vol not work? I turned it down from 0.6 to 0.3 but it's still equally loud

[wintry brook]

if youre using play_sound you have to pass the volume as an argument

[merry raven]

Like this?
play_sound(0.3, "fm_machine_garden_mote_spawn")

[wintry brook]

other way around i think

[runic pecan]

I feel like this is wrong, should ditch the for loop, and use if card:is_suit("Clubs") then instead.

[wintry brook]

are you checking if a clubs is played or if the calculated card is clubs

[runic pecan]

for every club held in hand

[wintry brook]

then that would be right, card would refer to the joker rather than the card played

sound question, i cant get these sounds to be recognized, i keep getting 'expected file' error

crashes when i try to play the sound

the files are here in my sounds folder

do sound keys have a letter like enhanced has m_?

[edgy reef]

THE 0.9.8 API METHODS GOT SNUCK INTO THE DEFINITIONS?!

OH COME ON

😭

[edgy reef]

Ok this should only ever flag when you point to SMODS and not the def files

[runic pecan]

What is the {C:} keyword for Club suit?

[wintry brook]

C:clubs

[nocturne garnet]

nice

even nicer

[runic pecan]

Should I change "become Glass" to "served Justice" in my joker's description?

[sick sparrow]

jimbo

[meager summit]

im quite new to this whole modding thing, and i was thinking of making a quick messy deck skin
ive read everything carefully, and thought i did everything correctly but for some reason its using the Jack twice, as both the Jack and the Ace
why is this happening exactly? i could just be dumb lol

[violet void]

so back to this

I was wondering if destroy effects are kinda excluded? or ceremonial dagger would also count as having 2 effects

but nonetheless, would this card having mult make sense?

[faint yacht]

+1 Mult seems a bit low... my first thought was adding Mult equivalent to the rank of the card destroyed. Unless it's Stone, which could default to +4.

[violet void]

you could trigger it multiple times in a round technically, it makes for an easy scaling

[wintry brook]

this card is so close to being fully finished, but the burnt cards dont act like burnt cards when they are first made by the dragon. i think its because the cards are already stored as non enhanced but im not sure

[faint yacht]

Are you making the "burned" change in context.before?

[wintry brook]

yup its all in context.before

i know there are extra perameters for set_ability but im not sure what they are

[zealous glen]

Cool animation

[tall wharf]

oh wow did you actually turned that bug into a feature

[zealous glen]

Anyways, the entire scoring is calculated, then the animation plays. I imagine you do the card change in an Event so by that point it’s too late

In Cosmos, we used a trick to make cards with Editions gain the Editions but only display them a few moments later

So you’ll probably want something similar

Though in your case it should be easier since Midas Mask is similar and thus there’s built-in vanilla functionality for it

[violet void]

Yes thats something I encountered too and I hate it ç^ç

the workaround is not using events for scoring-changing effects which means the flip effect is instant

I wish there was a way to make it correctly timed like the unflip part

[wintry brook]

midas mask gets away with it because its a joker rather than a card im pretty sure

[wintry brook]

ive been trying to get something like this to happen but it makes the scored cards burnt too early. the unscored cards burn at the correct time

[zealous glen]

I explained how

[zealous glen]

As I said, you need to burn the cards early but hide it like Midas Mask

Or see how Cosmos does Spinagogue Champion

You shouldn’t need a patch for Enhancements but anyways

[violet void]

you did, but seeing a 6 score 9 chips doesn't look that good

[zealous glen]

But you reveal earlier

[wintry brook]

midas mask sets the ability like this, i copy the same thing and it only applies to the unscoring cards

[zealous glen]

What part did you copy

[violet void]

I made a custom context for it which happens right before the evaluate_play gets the poker hand played

If I give put flip_cards in a event then the cards change rank instantly before the flipping part is over

if I put the rank changing part in an event, then it happens after the scoring

[zealous glen]

What only applies to the unscoring cards?

[zealous glen]

The rank should probably be changed instantly but the flip should conclude before the cards are scored

[wintry brook]

the scoring cards instantly get set to burnt cards visually, and the unscoring cards burn at the correct time (although i have no idea if they would actually function since they dont score)

let me try with splash

[zealous glen]

While you’re at it try Midas Mask with Gold Ticket

[wintry brook]

i did, it works, probably because its a joker though

[wintry solar]

using the delay_sprites flag on st ability should solve these problems

[zealous glen]

According to them they did but it didn’t work

[wintry solar]

I'd need to see more of the code than the one line

[zealous glen]

Yeah I was going to say

It sounds like either they did something else wrong or they might need a patch for a similar bit different functionality

[wintry brook]

        if context.before then 
            for k, v in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v.ability.name ~= "m_imaginary_dragonCard" then
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_imaginary_burntCard"], nil, true) 
                end

i set delay sprites to true but it still happens immediately, but im unsure what it does exactly

maybe i should just use set_sprites atp

[wintry solar]

hold on let me see how I implemented zodiacs

[violet void]

thread for when youre not speaking with 2 people at the same time

[wintry solar]

context.scoring_hand[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[effects[i]], nil, true)
                local name = context.scoring_hand[i].ability.effect
                context.scoring_hand[i].ability.effect = nil
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = 'before', delay = 0.2, func = function()
                        context.scoring_hand[i].ability.effect = name
                        context.scoring_hand[i]:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end}))

this is the code I have, though I don't remember why it's written this way 🤷‍♂️

[wintry brook]

it does the same thing it seems

[wintry solar]

it does some funny stuff with the .effect bit, perhaps try that?

[wintry brook]

i think it delays the sprite change by a tiny amount but i need it to be delayed by a lot. i may just try some set_sprite shenanigans

[wintry brook]

i copy pasted it in and it did the same thing as my old code

[zealous glen]

See if a patch similar to the one in Cosmos would help

[wicked leaf]

spritin goin good

[merry raven]

Stanced up jimbo

[wicked leaf]

rolling eyes fall...

[zealous glen]

Is this a reference to something

[wicked leaf]

the Yakuza series

[violet void]

a vague resemblance

[mellow prism]

hey folks, are there any conventions i should keep in mind to keep a mod i'm developing optimized? i saw some other mods have a certain structure like having each joker have its own lua file but i didn't know if there was any purpose to that besides keeping it organized for the person making the mod

just trying to avoid performance drops like i've seen elsewhere

[storm kraken]

do you guys vibe with this

[wicked leaf]

maybe make it a rare since its pretty gimmicky

[frosty dock]

that's only for keeping it organized and doesn't impact performance

[wicked leaf]

My recommendation is putting everything in the same file, and using comments to organize yourself

doesnt impact performance but itll be easier to search for stuff

[frosty dock]

I'd argue that's viable only for smaller mods

[violet void]

I like having everything in its own folder

[frosty dock]

having lots of files can impact performance on startup due to more file reads, but it's not really significant

[violet void]

oh...

[frosty dock]

whatever you like best. single files per object can get annoying to navigate, a good middle ground is a file per type of object

[storm kraken]

my recommendation is (which i shouldnt even be stating) is to have all your SMOD types ordered
so like its all the jokers without any other types inbetween then the atlases or whatever etc
-# idk if this makes sense but its here

[violet void]

would you say Pokermon's approach for Jokers is the optimal way

it puts like X jokers code per file

[frosty dock]

there's not a lot of "obvious" performance pitfalls that are important for most mod devs, other than maybe avoiding the use of update functions where possible

[frosty dock]

like I said it's not a decision of performance

[violet void]

you also said having lots ot files can affect it

[maiden phoenix]

If you comment your code nicely and space it well its not that horrible 😅

[frosty dock]

I also said it's not really significant

[violet void]

I guess, but if I can avoid it I'd prob do it

-# Im not to that point yet though

[frosty dock]

and it would just affect load times

I guess in terms of error log readability, single files for each object are the best option, but it can also be annoying to navigate

[violet void]

ye thats also true

[mellow prism]

initial load times isn't as much a concern as slowdown during game is for me, though i'll still keep that in mind

though it doesn't sound like there's much that can be done in that regard

[storm kraken]

should i use spreadsheats for atlases or just single image pngs for atlases
cuz me personally

[violet void]

the picture isnt readable for me

[storm kraken]

yeah thats the point

those are all atlases

[violet void]

I use whatever vanilla uses is called personally, its not as complicated as I initially thought

[frosty dock]

i mean personally i prefer spritesheets over spreadsheets for these

[storm kraken]

true,,,

[maiden phoenix]

Im so glad I was bullied into using spritesheets

[violet void]

but then I had to crop to selected in order to use the website for jokers 🥹

[maiden phoenix]

I used a python script to do that for me

[violet void]

ooh?

do say more

[maiden phoenix]

Basically the code just save each sprite as its own file from a spritesheet

Im not home so I dont have it available right now

[runic pecan]

Is this the right way to create a Moon tarot card?

[frosty dock]

it is a correct way, but not the recommended or easiest way

SMODS.add_card({ key = 'c_moon', area = G.consumeables })

no add_to_deck or emplace needed

[wicked leaf]

now I just gotta make it work

[runic pecan]

Thank you!
What key should I add if I want it to be Negative?

[frosty dock]

edition = 'e_negative'

[runic pecan]

Does this function automatically check if there's enough room in consumable slot?

[wicked leaf]

I dont believe so

Judging by how code cards in cryptid work (most of them dont need room to add stuff)

[frosty dock]

there's always room for a negative

but no

[maiden phoenix]

Pretty sure if the limit is exceeded by n+1 you can't add a negative card?

But yea if it's guaranteed negative don't check for that, doesn't really matter

[frosty dock]

perkeo doesn't care, at least

[maiden phoenix]

Perkeo owns this game

[frosty dock]

[storm kraken]

this is what hell looks like (you cant get dry cards)

[frosty dock]

i'll just pull dry cards out of thin air ezpz

[storm kraken]

skull

[mystic river]

perkeo probably doesn't check for room
it works this way for jokers, but i can't think of a way in vanilla to exceed the consumable limit for testing

[maiden phoenix]

DebugPlus my beloved

[runic pecan]

I hope it's fine to define an upgrade function for my jokers.

Ah crap, for got to reset scored_card. brb

[frosty dock]

you'd have to call that on self and not card and probably also pass card to change its value instead of the values on self

other than that, sure

[runic pecan]

Fixed.

[frosty dock]

you're still calling it on card

which doesn't have your function, self does

[runic pecan]

so self:upgrade(card) ?

[runic pecan]

You know what, I'm not going to add an extra line of "Must have room" into the description just to hide it for half of the time. Overstocking it is.

[storm kraken]

err uh aaa
how to i go about randomized values

nvm i figured it out

[vagrant cedar]

Anyone know how to make this play a random file within a folder, rather than just one file?

[hardy viper]

pseudorandom_element(NFS.getDirectoryItems("thisDir"))

and thatll be a string containing the name of a file inside thisDir (e.g. episode4.ogv)

[runic pecan]

Which fits better for a Legendary-like?

[vagrant cedar]

this makes sense so far

where do I put it/do I replace anything

[hardy viper]

uh idk youre the one who wrote the code

[vagrant cedar]

I rewrote it from what MathIsFun rewrote from the Balatro demo

I barely touched it but I had the idea for the video playback before it was possible today

[violet void]

if we are following the base game philosophy, the first

the second one can be a voucher or something else to synergize with it

[crisp coral]

the former

the other one gets capped from consumable slots

[violet void]

the philanthropic perkeo image would fit here

[glass scaffold]

What's the code for making a Standard Pack tag generate after a shop?

[vagrant cedar]

if context.leaving_shop ?

i think

[glass scaffold]

I got that part from Perkeo 2, but I need to generate a tag.

[runic pecan]

context.ending_shop

[vagrant cedar]

my b

Anyone that's experienced able to help me real quick? Trying to create a table for my Joker to choose a random function from a specific list of functions.
I have several functions that work on their own if I tell it to do them, but I want it to trigger only one, but at random.

[runic pecan]

replace tag_double with tag_standard

So add_tag(Tag('tag_standard')) I guess

[glass scaffold]

my parenthesis and brackets aren;t matching in color, but that shouldn't be an issue yeah?

I copied it as I see it

[runic pecan]

local func_index = math.random([Insert total number of your functions])
if func_index == 1 then
first_function()
elseif func_index == 2 then
second_function()
...

[frosty dock]

we making elseif towers with this one

[vagrant cedar]

fuck it why not I already got a huge function tower

[runic pecan]

Only add_tag(Tag('tag_standard')) is needed to do the trick.

[vagrant cedar]

Might as well put these in between

[glass scaffold]

does Lua not have any switch case thing like Java?

[frosty dock]

how about

pseudorandom_element(my_functions, pseudoseed('my_joker'))()

[glass scaffold]

I already have that though?

[vagrant cedar]

what does my_functions do?

[frosty dock]

where my_functions is the table that you put your functions in

[vagrant cedar]

can you pop into vc with me rq or nah

[frosty dock]

eh, sure

[weary jungle]

how do i spawn a random tag?

is there a list of all tags?

[glass scaffold]

huh?

[runic pecan]

I mean the whole G.E.manager package can be replaced with a single line

[glass scaffold]

Oh

[glass scaffold]

So this should work?

[weary jungle]

its ok, i "learned" from picle

[glass scaffold]

IT WORKS

@runic pecan good shit

[violet void]

Which one looks better for the JokerDisplay?

[runic pecan]

Feel like the left one appeals more to me.

[storm kraken]

am i supposed to struggle this hard just to make a blind 😭

[glass scaffold]

I'm not 100% if the SMODS.Blind documents are with the newest version or old-calc

[frosty dock]

better calc doesn't affect blinds

[merry raven]

What does context.main_scoring do again

[frosty dock]

main scoring phase for playing cards

[merry raven]

So is it only accounting for scored cards or does it also account for played but unscored cards

[wintry solar]

played but unscored cards don't get sent to any contexts

[merry raven]

I see

[fallen tendon]

M A K E O N E /j

[storm kraken]

like seriously what is this error for

SMODS.Blind{
key = "dies",
loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Die',
        text = {'hi'},
          },
dollars = 0,
mult = 3.5,
atlas = 'die',
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }
}

[crisp coral]

have uyou uh

have you made the atlas

[frosty dock]

blinds need a boss_colour

[crisp coral]

oh that's the color var

whoops

[frosty dock]

idkwhy tf it's optional

because non-bosses?

[crisp coral]

technically yeah

[storm kraken]

[fallen tendon]

You can make one using HEX(“FFFFFF”)

Just replace the Fs with your actual hex code

[wintry solar]

non-bosses would use a colour anyway

[weary jungle]

how do i make my consumable last longer after using it

[maiden phoenix]

Do you mean make a multiple use consumable?

[fallen tendon]

Is it possible to make a sideways cardarea?

[fallen tendon]

Keep on use function

[weary jungle]

like the consumable disolves before i can do things

[wicked leaf]

pass the font / vs theme

[weary jungle]

before i can do juiceing up with it

[glass scaffold]

m6x11plus

can be extracted from finding the resources folder in Balatro.exe via WinRAR.

[wicked leaf]

got it

[weary jungle]

i want it to juice up 4 times, but when i use the consumable, it dissolves, not showing the juice ups

i want it to function like a planet card, where it stays on screen for a bit, then dissolves

[hidden timber]

is it unicode?

[glass scaffold]

Probably, probably not, I don't know

[hidden timber]

is it the same as m6x11?

[glass scaffold]

Mostly

[hidden timber]

@glass scaffold this was very useful thanks

[glass scaffold]

welcome

[weary jungle]

how do i make the consumable stay on the screen and not auto dissolve?

[vagrant cedar]

Anyone want my new Joker?

[frosty dock]

we're no strangers to love

[violet void]

loses X1 if you let go

[frosty dock]

let go..?

[native shell]

Discard?

[potent swan]

If you get Xmult from any other source, cancels the Xmult effect.
"You wouldn't get this from any other guy"

[vagrant cedar]

That's funny, but it does better than that

yellow

nothing else?
alrighty

not for format I think

the consumable dissolves before i can see the juice ups

[candid epoch]

alrighty

also what is order?

[weary jungle]

what?

[weary jungle]

wdym

[candid epoch]

copied from template

[weary jungle]

idk

[violet void]

I think the order in the collection

[candid epoch]

fair enough

[weary jungle]

all of my consumables are like order 16 and they are in the same spots in the collection?

[candid epoch]

i guess its then in order of your code if they the same

[weary jungle]

its not even on the wiki

what is order????

[candid epoch]

i dunno, i coppied it from YOU 😭

[violet void]

yeah its the order in the collection I checked

[weary jungle]

Ok we did it

[violet void]

although smods makes sure to group jokers by mod so you cant move it too much

[reef wave]

what would I use to log events that are happening?

[violet void]

but at that point you can like change the order you import them

[frosty dock]

because you're not supposed to set it yourself

steamodded figures out the order itself based on mod load order

[weary jungle]

I remember it was on the wiki on some day

[frosty dock]

might be in SMODS.Center

point stands you don't need to use it

there is already a well-defined order and steamodded will enforce it

[topaz sun]

is there some context or function that I can use to calculate stuff after calc_dollar_bonus, right after the yellow "cashout" button is pressed?

[storm kraken]

do NOT do this ever

[candid epoch]

true == false

also when a blind is selected and a tag of pack is made, will it trigger in the blind or after?

[wicked leaf]

trying to make a joker that considers all cards a specific suit, but cant quite find any examples

[candid epoch]

because there arent examples
the only thing i can think of is smeared joker

[wicked leaf]

maximized (cryptid) would be a good example if I could find the code

[violet void]

you would just need to add a check for your joker in is_suit()

before everything else add

if #SMODS.find_card('j_prefix_name') > 0 then if suit == "your_suit" then return true end

probably

[candid epoch]

what was a way to get this on text?

[wicked leaf]

hm

[violet void]

altho I'll be honest, idk what flush_calc is

[wicked leaf]

hm

this doesnt make much sense to me tbh

[violet void]

what doesn't specifically

[wicked leaf]

like this looks like this is checking if a card is of a specific suit rather than making all suits considered a single one

[crisp coral]

{X:red,C:white} X2 {}

[violet void]

jokers that react to suits use card:is_suit() afaik

[wicked leaf]

yeah but this joker isnt REACTING to the suits, its changing the suits themselves

[violet void]

visually as well?

[wicked leaf]

similar to smeared joker, but for any card

[wicked leaf]

not visually, just in the sense that if you select 5 random cards, you are always gonna get a flush

[candid epoch]

thanks

[violet void]

so with your joker every card is wild

[wicked leaf]

not exactly, im making all cards into a "Dragon" suit I already registered

as long as you hold that joker, all cards are considered "dragon" cards

[violet void]

whats the difference between dragon cards and wild cards

[wicked leaf]

dragon is just an extra suit that will work with some of my cards

similar to fleurons in bunco

[violet void]

what does your joker do exactly

[candid epoch]

alrighty, got em all!
now i need to work to make em functional...

[wicked leaf]

this is the one im tryna code

[candid epoch]

i love how i can collapse lines of code like these lol

honestly this just makes every card a wild card

unless you have a specific joker that reacts to Dragon suits

[wicked leaf]

The mod will have some, yes

[wet sand]

also not true, boss blinds that debuff other suits wont take effect here

[violet void]

that is true hmmm

[candid epoch]

unless they make boss blind that debuffs dragoon

[wet sand]

well yea but like. a diamond with this joker wouldnt be debuffed by Goad (spade cards) but a wild card would

[candid epoch]

oke, now i need voucher, pack and deck template

[wicked leaf]

What I DO know is that I have to apply the effect when its picked up, and remove it when its sold/destroyed

[violet void]

I believe this will work

    return true
end```

still in is_suit

so if you call like

card:is_suit('Dragons') anywhere, and you have that joker, it always return true

[wicked leaf]

I see, I see

makes more sense now

[violet void]

you probably need to put it in both flush_calc and the other one, not sure about that though

[wicked leaf]

this is like the third card I make ever and my inexperience isnt helping me at all lol

fourth actually

[violet void]

I assume you checked smeared's code

[wicked leaf]

I havent found it yet

[jagged sun]

i feel like i'm really stupid here but what field contains the currently-played hand? like is it within context or

[wicked leaf]

I'd suppose it'd be around card.lua, but I'm only finding references to it

[jagged sun]

like i want to get specifically the hand, not the cards within them

[violet void]

you should pass the balatro folder to visual studio so you can do global search

[candid epoch]

vouchers! yippie

[nocturne garnet]

This makes me truly feel like a dragon

[jagged sun]

NVM it's context.scoring_name

[wicked leaf]

ah, you meant the hand type

[weary jungle]

i am once again asking for help

[jagged sun]

more or less 😭 i just did G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name]

[candid epoch]

why it not work?

[wicked leaf]

doesnt look like there's any actual code attached to it to me

[candid epoch]

also i dont think its possible
but #1324798014996353156 made multiple-use consumables

[wicked leaf]

also name needs to go inside loc_txt

[candid epoch]

this one is not important for now as i just want to add it to game to see how it looks

[violet void]

is this in your main file?

[weary jungle]

right now the consumable on use:

2. add the first tag
3. dissolves !!!!
4. tries to juice up
5. adds the rest of the tags and tries to juice up```

[candid epoch]

yuh
i dont have more other than JSON for description thingy

but after adding it, it crashes game

[weary jungle]

what is the crash?

[violet void]

typo, its SMODS.Seal

[candid epoch]

facepalm
goddamit

[weary jungle]

i am so confused on this... how do i do tis

[candid epoch]

still crash

[wicked leaf]

did you put name in loc_txt like I said

[candid epoch]

oh wait, i realized one bracket missing

[wicked leaf]

ah.

[candid epoch]

also it was in example to not do that
so i dunno

[wicked leaf]

its in the example to not put it OUTSIDE I believe

name outside of loc_txt is only for internal purposes

[candid epoch]

almost...

the text dont appeared for some reason

[violet void]

name and text dont go inside description
