(pain)

Is uhhh anyone willing to collaborate to help me code the mod

[wintry solar]

As long as it’s a table, yeah

If you want to add the deck and discard to contexts, just hook them into calculate context

[long sun]

Have tested this card, and it works really well with Crescent

Getting a High Priestess gives four free sells :D

I like it ^^

Deffo more fun than Campfire imo

[zealous glen]

I don't think that will work because then it will compute existing contexts in those areas

So effects that shouldn't trigger will trigger because they don't test what area the card is in

[sick sparrow]

does sound in edition support keys?

[wintry solar]

If you just want your new context for your new area you can just replicate the code instead

[random sleet]

context api....

[zealous glen]

I did ask for it

I think Eremel didn't see why add it

[night pagoda]

How do I get the base table of booster pack ui box?

This doesn't want to work

[random sleet]

i think if you're calling it statically like that you dont use the colon

[night pagoda]

oh oops, thanks!

[random sleet]

ur basically giving it the class of SMODS.Booster as self

which i assume has a great many reasons why it doesn't work

[zealous glen]

In my mind it would need a CardArea, a list of object types, a number, and

I think the final one was the context?

[random sleet]

we have context api at home

[zealous glen]

yes, it was a symbol to identify which of the existing loops it's attached to

the number gives the order

[vagrant cedar]

Anybody available to help me with some coding I'm way out of my league for?

[wooden badge]

what's the issue?

I'll try and help, also learning but getting a hang

[vagrant cedar]

Might be too hard if you're learning

It's certainly too hard for me

[wooden badge]

hmm, if it's wildly out of the realm of vanilla then maybe

[vagrant cedar]

I'm trying to get a gameboy emulator running inside Balatro

[wooden badge]

bruh

[vagrant cedar]

😎

I think it's possible and I'm trying

[wooden badge]

I saw someone post that a vid of them running an entire episode of family guy in a pop up in balatro not long ago

[vagrant cedar]

That was me lmao

[wooden badge]

oh haha

well then

[vagrant cedar]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1328750593522798634

[wooden badge]

I most certainly am out of my league

[vagrant cedar]

This is the released version of that

[sick sparrow]

made a wobbly shader and mista four hand

[zealous glen]

some ran mario? Donkey Kong?

[vagrant cedar]

Yeah someone had Super Balatrio Bros

But I don't want it running on the card

I want to attempt to put it on the UIBox but I don't know if that part is possible

[zealous glen]

UI elements can hold Objects

that's about all I have

[vagrant cedar]

interesting

[nocturne garnet]

if you play it you instantly die

[sick sparrow]

no that's killer death card does

[nocturne garnet]

okay so

theres a 1/4 chance that every 4 Mista Four hands played you die

[sick sparrow]

no that's a special hand

[nocturne garnet]

damnit

[sick sparrow]

you have to play with mista four cards or any 4 cards with rank 4 and mista edition

(you can mix it too)

[tight thistle]

hello! does anybody know how to do this? my coding knowledge is very limited as of yet, so any help is appreciated!

[zealous glen]

use extra

[weary jungle]

how do i get the boss blind? (so i can increase the boss blind)

[nocturne garnet]

G.GAME.blind

[weary jungle]

the boss blind

like i want to reroll boss blind and increase its chips by 1.1X

[hoary tiger]

Hey, maybe an already answered question but does SMODS currently support adding a seal or enhancement that always scores (like stone card)? The code for it in github appears to be commented out but the patch still exists so I wasn't sure if it works

[vagrant cedar]

How do I replace the music when a Joker is owned? I'm looking at the code for Jimball but I'm not seeing what I need

[vagrant cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Enhancement-[wip]

always_scores = true

[storm kraken]

 SMODS.Consumable{
    key = 'towel',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'towel',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Towel', 
        text = { 
            'Dries {C:attention}#1#{} cards,',
            'makes them {C.attention}DRY{}.'
        }
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            cards = 3
            
        }
    },
    
   loc_vars = function(self,info_queue, card)
         info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_440_dry
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.cards}}
    end,

(whenever i hover over the fool after using this tarot card the game crashes from the return vars in loc.vars = function for whatever reason just wondering if there was a way to fix this?)

c.

😭

i should really check code hold up

yeah it still crashes

c is not the problem

[dim steeple]

Ability to animate shaders on the fly

[weary jungle]

insane???

how do i get the boss blind

is there a place that i can loop throught to get the current boss blind

[tall wharf]

i think the seal should render behind card face

[zealous glen]

When

[zealous glen]

What do you mean on the fly?

[weary jungle]

consumable use when selecting blind

before you select blind

[zealous glen]

I know how to increase it during the Blind

I decided I didn’t want to mess with changing it before

To reroll you can just call the function that rerolls

[weary jungle]

i think i would just need the blind objectt for the boss blind

but i dont know how to get that

[zealous glen]

But you need to set a random table value to make it not cost money

[zealous glen]

Not really I think

Because the UI wouldn’t update either

I think someone else has changed the Blind value but I forget who

[weary jungle]

you use a consumable and the consumable does this

[weary jungle]

i think thats what number_format is for?

[zealous glen]

Yes I’m telling you how to do it

[zealous glen]

I don’t think so

[weary jungle]

why would it cost money?

[zealous glen]

Because thunk said so

thunk moment

[weary jungle]

i just want to increase the blind by 1.1X 😭 why is this so hard

[vagrant cedar]

Anyone know how to change the background music using a Joker?

[storm kraken]

to the person that was asking for boss blind i found this

idk if it helps but

its there

[zealous glen]

Maybe see if L Corp or Cryptid’s do it

jimball?

[vagrant cedar]

I'll check L Corp

I checked Jimball and couldn't figure out how to do it from that

[zealous glen]

Also I recall there being an example mod that modded sounds

No idea what it did with them

[vagrant cedar]

bet

[zealous glen]

They were removed from Steamodded and into their own repo for some reason

[vagrant cedar]

yeah I have them

I have no clue how to apply this to a Joker

[zealous glen]

Under what conditions should the music play

[vagrant cedar]

I want it to replace the background music as soon as you have the Joker

[shell timber]

filesize iirc? cloning the entire thing would take way longer if they were in the base repo

[vagrant cedar]

I have multiple files that I want to play one after another

If that's not possible, I can edit them into one song

[shell timber]

check cryptid's jimball

[vagrant cedar]

read chat

[zealous glen]

[shell timber]

i'm blind...

[zealous glen]

That explains the glasses

Anyways

I don’t know how music works

But my instinct is to try add_to_deck

[vagrant cedar]

I'm honestly sure Jimball has the code I need but I have no clue how to do it, I'm new to this

[zealous glen]

Maybe a blocking = false and return false event too

Depending on the specifics

[shell timber]

the check is on the smods sound object

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "music_jimball",
    path = "music_jimball.ogg",
    sync = false,
    pitch = 1,
    select_music_track = function()
        return next(find_joker("cry-Jimball")) and Cryptid_config.Cryptid.jimball_music and 1.57e308
    end,
})

that's how cryptid does it

the and 1.57e308 is for priority purposes probably

[zealous glen]

Cool card

[zealous glen]

Also another Temporary implementation

I’m gonna update mine to new calc

[autumn geode]

having a bit of trouble with this how do i get it so that the joker converts to the enhancement ive added tried a bunch of different variations and nothing has seemed to work

ive tried without centers

ive tried with set_ability

[vagrant cedar]

What does the Cryptid_config.Cryptid.jimball_music part do?

["Cryptid"] = { ["jimball_music"] = true, ["code_music"] = true, ["exotic_music"] = true, ["big_music"] = true }

Is what it says in config.lua

[zealous glen]

@nocturne garnet do your temporary cards work in new calc already

[nocturne garnet]

huh

whar

[zealous glen]

Try to poll enhancement

[shell timber]

that's so you can turn it off in the mod's settings

[nocturne garnet]

its not like i made a sticker for them or anything

[zealous glen]

I originally didn’t have a Sticker but I’m converting to it

[vagrant cedar]

Do I change something there for my mod or do I just ignore that/take it out

[weary jungle]

3 more runes! 3 more runes!

[shell timber]

you could just take it out

[zealous glen]

I think I’m mostly curious about the timing to remove them to avoid nil cards. Also, if you have an animation

[nocturne garnet]

nono i didnt do anything special

its just cards that are destroyed at end of round

i didnt want my joker to say "that is destoyed at end of round" because i didnt want the joker to have like 6 lines of text

[zealous glen]

Myself, I added it because tying the effect to the Joker made it not work when the game was reloaded

Also I think it’s a neat mechanic

Do you have a graphic?

I repurposed the debuff sticker for mine

As a placeholder

[vagrant cedar]

What is missing from this to trigger the sound

[mellow prism]

been looking through several examples people have given of how they destroy cards. the whole destroyed cards appearing in hand as empty is still where i'm at if it's what i had from before, i feel like i'm missing something extraordinarily obvious at this point for as many times as i've seen this implemented

[nocturne garnet]

shiit

atp

i might aswell just make it a sticker

[zealous glen]

I’m probably gonna make it later after I’m done with chores

[zealous glen]

It depends on the timing

[dim steeple]

I'm not too sure how to change the z-order of rendering within the Seal:draw api

[tall wharf]

oh those are seals?

[dim steeple]

yeah

mechanical seal

[zealous glen]

Did you use the draw method?

I’ve never seen anyone use it except maybe keku so I don’t know how it works, but I believe the only way to change the z-order is to change the order of love.draw calls

[dim steeple]

yeah I did

[zealous glen]

What does it look like

[dim steeple]

        card.scale = card.scale or 1
        card.speed = card.speed or 1
        local timer = G.TIMERS.REAL * card.speed
        local scale_mod = (card.scale * 0.1) +
            0.2 *
            (0.07 + 0.02 * math.sin(1.8 * timer) + 0.00 * math.sin((timer - math.floor(timer)) * math.pi * 14) * (1 - (timer - math.floor(timer))) ^ 3)
        local rotate_mod = 0.05 * timer


        if card.seal and card.seal == 'btp_mechanical_seal' then
            G.shared_seals[card.seal].role.draw_major = card
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center)
            card.children.center:draw_shader('hologram', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center, 0, 0)
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('hologram', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center,
                0 * scale_mod, 80 * rotate_mod)
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('played', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center,
                1 * scale_mod, 10 * rotate_mod)
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('hologram', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center,
                1 * scale_mod, 40 * rotate_mod)
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('played', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center,
                2 * scale_mod, 10 * rotate_mod)
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('hologram', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center,
                2 * scale_mod, 20 * rotate_mod)
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('voucher', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center,
                2 * scale_mod, 10 * rotate_mod)
            G.shared_seals[card.seal]:draw_shader('hologram', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, card.children.center,
                3 * scale_mod, 10 * rotate_mod)
        end
    end,```

rotate_mod is an endless spinner based on the global timer value

then the shaders are modified by the card.scale and card.speed values I've set

...
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0,
                func = function()
                    destroyed_card.speed = base_card_speed
                    destroyed_card.scale = base_card_scale

                    ease_value(played_card, 'speed', inc_speed, nil, nil, nil, ease_speed, 'quad')
                    ease_value(played_card, 'scale', inc_scale, nil, nil, nil, ease_speed, 'quad')
                    play_sound('whoosh1', 0.94, 0.3)
                    ease_value(destroyed_card, 'speed', inc_speed, nil, nil, nil, ease_speed, 'quad')
                    ease_value(destroyed_card, 'scale', inc_scale, nil, nil, nil, ease_speed, 'quad')
                    return true
                end
            }))
...

[zealous glen]

Okay so it doesn’t use love.draw directly

Which I think keku did

[dim steeple]

I've done it both ways

Here is the original way patching the draw method

but both work

[zealous glen]

I do with a patch too but that’s not love.draw

[dim steeple]

Ah I see what you mean now

[dusk garnet]

what are the default rarity weights for vanilla

[violet void]

Should be .70 .25 and .05

[wooden badge]

damn its really 5% for rare cards?

[dusk garnet]

okay, if i create a new rarity will there be issues with the weighting going over 1?

(adding to joker pool)

[tight thistle]

extra?

[storm kraken]

  calculate = function (self,card,context) 
  if G.GAME.blind.boss then
     if context.end_of_round then
             for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do 
                     G.jokers.cards[i]:set_edition({negative = true} ,true)
                end
        end
    end
end

how would i make this not happen alot of times and not slow down the game

[zealous glen]

yes

[zealous glen]

Probably do it in the right context

See if the wiki helps

[tight thistle]

im not sure i know what you mean, sorry

[zealous glen]

extra dictionary in the Joker definition

You save if you found any Queens or not, then you can remember it later

Then at some point you clear it and forget

[autumn geode]

how does it work ive given this ago and it does not work

[zealous glen]

I don’t think that’s how poll enhancement is used but I can’t check right now

[wooden badge]

if it works anything like poll_seal then you don't need the G.P_CENTERS

[lyric blade]

It creates a negative of..... playing cards? I don't really get it

[autumn geode]

hmmm let me give it a whirl

[lyric blade]

But seems really interesting

[wooden badge]

just do what you have without G.P_CENTERS - you'll have to look at the arguments afterwards I don't know if theya re right

[wooden badge]

is "e_mldg_moldge" a custom edition of yours?

[nocturne garnet]

playing cards can be negative

[autumn geode]

custom enhancement, i have iterated through various permutations of the string but cant seem to get it to work

[wooden badge]

I'm not sure why you are using poll_enhancement then, isn't that for choosing a random enhancement in the pool?

[autumn geode]

ive tried without and was suggested to use the poll enhancement

basically all i want is to set played cards to my enhancement

through the joker

[wooden badge]

is set_enhancement even a function? Have you made your own because I can't find it in the source or the smods

don't confuse enhancements and editions they don't fall under the same parameters

[autumn geode]

another thing i was told to use by someone else before i was trying to use set ability

[wooden badge]

you've used "e_..." to reference your enhancement but the game uses "m_...'

if it is an edition you can use set edition

but I don't know how it would work for enhancements

[frosty dock]

poll_enhancement is for random enhancement

[wooden badge]

ah right I just found it

I think @frosty dock will know a bit more about this than me lol

[frosty dock]

if you're trying to set a card to one specific enhancement, you'd use v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS['m_mldg_moldge']) if that's the key of your enhancement

[autumn geode]

ah perfect thank you

[zealous glen]

I mean you can poll from a table with a single option

[frosty dock]

that's not what poll_enhancement's key argument does though

it's a seed

[autumn geode]

worked perfectly thanks for the help

[zealous glen]

Yeah you need to pass it as a table

In another argument

[upper ermine]

Hi, I just joined the Discord. I'm making a mod that is really just for myself and a group of friends, for fun. I've successfully modded all the cards and stuff that I want to do, but I'd like to make changes to the Balatro logo on the main menu as you load in. I have a couple questions if anyone happens to know from previous experience.

Is the Balatro logo a font that exists? Or if I were to add letters/change the wording would I have to approximate those new letters from scratch? I noticed a lot of mods have done it and even matched the gradient, 3D effect, and outer glow. I'm no artist, but I will give it a shot.

Do you know if the card that pops up on that screen goes to the center of the image? (ie, if I add 100 pixels to either side of the .png, would it still work?)

[zealous glen]

The card on the center of the screen is a card

If you set the size right it should still work

[night pagoda]

What do I do if my patch has the same target as steamodded's patch and it doesn't apply because of that? It did apply before and steamodded's patch isn't using at, so I have no idea what to do besides relocation

[hardy viper]

change priority?

[zealous glen]

Patch the Steamodded code?

[night pagoda]

I believe lovely can't do that yet?

[night pagoda]

I wonder if that'll break other patches oof, but I'll try

[zealous glen]

I thought it could with priority

[night pagoda]

ah, that it can do yes

I thought you meant steamodded's files

[dusk garnet]

is there a way to force a joker to trigger after scoring and every other joker? i want to set chips to 1 without letting other jokers override it

[night pagoda]

yes changed priority and the patch works

[elder vapor]

any ideas what to add here

[weary jungle]

what is the code for no edition

[weary jungle]

bruhs

brush

maybe even a card getting polished

[long sun]

spray lines

possibly make it larger, and tilted?

oh also, does anyone have a link to the context documentation?

[weary jungle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation

[long sun]

ah i think i found- yep, that's the one, thanks!! :D

[dusk garnet]

also answered my question :p

thanks!

[long sun]

oh ya one more question

how do i check the name of a Joker?

(i want to check through the list of jokers, and find the ones which are both not editioned and not Dimere)

[tight thistle]

i still do not understand, im really sorry

[zealous glen]

Try using find_joker

Also check for key not name

[long sun]

thanks ^^

[glass scaffold]

Getting this error when starting a blind with my Joker. Any ideas?

[violet void]

You're missing context.individual

[wooden badge]

I think what they are saying is that you need to make another variable in your loc_vars extra table. One that is a boolean check for at least a queen present in your hand during context.before. If it is, then you can continue into the context.individual stage and operate on each of the kings using the get_id check (it is 13 for kings).

[glass scaffold]

On 203 or 209

[violet void]

209

[glass scaffold]

It still crashed it.

[tight thistle]

AH, the loc_vars, okay, that makes more sense

thank you!

[violet void]

First if checks for context.individual, second if checks for other_card

[tepid crow]

does anyone know where the music speed is defined in the code? it seems slowed down from the original sound files

edit: my guess seems to be about 70%?

[wooden badge]

@tight thistle call it something like queen_check, then have a process during context.before to scan your hand for a queen and return true to queen_check

[glass scaffold]

Alright, here's the code I'm testing, Will report.

[weary jungle]

put context.individual and context.other_card:get_id() == 14

[violet void]

That's incorrect, put the check of other_card inside an if context.individual

[weary jungle]

short circuit evaluation moment

[glass scaffold]

So this? Or do they need to be in seperate checks?

[weary jungle]

that should work

probably

🤞

[glass scaffold]

And it worked

[long sun]

one more question, sorry :}

how can i check if a Joker has no edition?

[weary jungle]

if card.edition == nil iirc

[glass scaffold]

if context.other_card.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base may be a good bet.

[long sun]

cheers :D

i'll take that one, thanks!

[weary jungle]

wouldnt it be ==?

not ~=

[glass scaffold]

Lua is a dumb programming language that uses ~= as its != (Java).

In my experience, this has worked.

But YMMV.

[weary jungle]

but we are looking for if the joker has no edition

[long sun]

they're saying that base means no edition, though?

[glass scaffold]

That's going after enhancements, not editions. nvm.

Editions are a whole new ball game.

[long sun]

how do you play said ball game? is it as fun as cage batting? :D

[glass scaffold]

If the pitching machine keeps pelting you in the head, then sure.

[weary jungle]

i just realized i made wheel of misfortune 😭

[rough furnace]

3 in 4 chance to remove an edition from a joker

[weary jungle]

1/4 chance actually

[wicked leaf]

I have an idea.

[long sun]

the four winds!!

[weary jungle]

guys im basically done

[wicked leaf]

these three most specifically

[long sun]

sorry to keep bothering, but how do i do seeded probability, again?

i'd like to randomly select an index in the applicable jokers

[violet void]

You could use Pseudorandom_element() to select a random Joker

[long sun]

does that work with seeds, though?

[violet void]

It does from my experience

[long sun]

okay, i'll try that :D

[weary jungle]

pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('seed'))

[long sun]

schweet, thanks!

[wicked leaf]

whats the context for scoring a card?

[long sun]

checking, two secs

ah wait sorry i misread =w=

[violet void]

Whats the joker's effect?

[wicked leaf]

mult when a 3 is scored

and ONLY 3s

actually, no wait

ok im checking again

if it contains a 3, give mult

not score a 3

[violet void]

You'd need to loop #G.play.cards

I would write an example if I was on PC

[wicked leaf]

ill look around for examples

[sturdy compass]

Just pushed my first public release

[wicked leaf]

congrations

send a link

[violet void]

I concur

[sturdy compass]

https://github.com/the-Astra/Maximus/releases/tag/v0.1.0-beta

[violet void]

Did you create a thread?

[sturdy compass]

Not yet

I should

[violet void]

Yess

[wicked leaf]

im gonna remake my thread once I release my mod

[maiden river]

changed this from every glass card in scored hand to every glass card discarded, which I think is a nicer change

[long sun]

(note: use {C:mult} and not {C:white,X:mult})

[violet void]

Yes that should be used for xmult

[maiden river]

ah

[long sun]

(actually there are a few changes, lemme note those)

[maiden river]

makes sense

[violet void]

Unless it's a stylistic choice

[sturdy compass]

Thread made

I did make it like that to make it stand out
but it is on its own row, so it's probably unnecessary

[long sun]

All discarded Glass cards break, gains double their ranks as Mult (Currently +0 Mult)

seems a bit weak for Rare?

[maiden river]

oh yeah I haven't really messed w/ the rarites in a bit

it's a little unfortunate that I have to keep restarting the game whenever I change anything,
esp. when it's something as small as text descriptions

[maiden river]

jonh DebugPkus saves me yet again

[candid epoch]

dont do the bonus please if you want true mahjong

also question, can consumable detect if you have specific vouchers and then apply effect depending on it?

[weary jungle]

probably

[paper lantern]

Hey there. So if I'm interested in creating Balatro mods, what's the go-to set up? There doesn't seem to be anything specific listed in the pins.

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki and https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[paper lantern]

Thanks, appreciate it.

[candid epoch]

also, are vouchers only possible as tier 1 and tier 2 or can there be more?

[rough furnace]

Other mods have added higher teirs but I'm not sure if they need patches to work

[elder vapor]

trying to figure out how to fill the empty space

[candid epoch]

i dont remeber 🇵🇱 tarrot card

[elder vapor]

shhh

they don't need to know

[weary jungle]

paint brush, card dripping with polish or something

is there more options to the ease in event manager

[candid epoch]

well, i need to learn how to apply consumables to cards

[maiden river]

quick question: the watch center command's example for a joker doesn't use SMODS.Joker, does it work with that too?

[weary jungle]

wdym

[candid epoch]

its my first mod i am doing so i need to learn stuff

like how to use consumable to apply permanent +10 mult

[weary jungle]

as an edition/enhancement?

[candid epoch]

nah

imagine as the hiker joker

permanent chip giver

[rough furnace]

you don't call SMODS.joker (smods isn't made for that) but it can update the values created by SMODS.joker jokers

[maiden river]

ah I see

big

[wooden badge]

can anything go outside of the calculate function in SMODS.Joker? I think that the game stores certain parameters after a single complete call of 'calculate' but I want something to update globally without having to consult calculate at all

[maiden river]

I get it

[weary jungle]

does anything need to be to_big()itized?

[wooden badge]

I tried putting it in loc_vars but of course that will only update when you hover over the joker

[frosty dock]

vouchers can depend on each other in whatever way you want

you can even have vouchers that require a bunch of different vouchers to be redeemed first

[candid epoch]

i got a voucher #1

"when Blind is selected"```
and voucher #2
```"Create a random {C:attention}Lv2{} {C:green}Potion Pack{}",
"when Blind is selected instead of {C:attention}Lv1{}"```

may change it to tag, depending how i can do it

[frosty dock]

can you be more specific about what you're trying to achieve?

[candid epoch]

so basicly, i think it will have function in Lv 1 voucher, and checks if voucher Lv 2 is redeemed, if yes, make Lv 2 pack, if not, make Lv 1 pack

[vagrant cedar]

@rough furnace @frosty dock Are either of you available to assist me in crafting a new Joker

I'm trying to emulate Gameboy in Balatro

[candid epoch]

so NES wasnt enough? 💀

[vagrant cedar]

Well... No

[frosty dock]

not rn, sorry. I'll lyk when I'm free

[vagrant cedar]

that works

[wooden badge]

@frosty dock when I use context.using_consumeable the G.GAME.last_tarot_planet doesn't update until the full call of 'calculate' is complete. EG if my backlog is empty then trying to access what the last consumeable that has just been used to trigger the branch returns nil instead. I know that there is context.consumeable which is that card but when I ask for the name/key of it can only give me the table signature rather than the ACTUAL name string of the consumeable - it is that name string that I want.

[frosty dock]

context.consumeable.config.center_key should give you the key

[candid epoch]

so looking at example
this is seal code?

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.1,
            func = function()
                for i = 1, card.ability.max_highlighted do
                    local highlighted = G.hand.highlighted[i]

                    if highlighted then
                        highlighted:set_seal('s_seel_blu')
                    else
                        break
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end```

[wooden badge]

wouldn't have caught that at all, thanks!

[candid epoch]

how to spawn a consumable from the debugplus?

[zealous glen]

same as Jokers

[candid epoch]

i am first time useing it, i dont know how any of those

[zealous glen]

holding tab will show you the menu

[weary jungle]

guys im done with the runes

now i have to do localization

😭

[elder vapor]

3/3 textured

what are these silly goobers?

  loc_txt = {
    name = "White Potion",
    text = {

    cost = 2,
    order = 7,
    max_highlighted = 1,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

                    local highlighted = G.hand.highlighted[i]

                    if highlighted then
                        highlighted:set_seal('s_potionup_potseal')
                    else
                        break
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
}```
this shit aint letting my consumable be used

what i done wrong?

[weary jungle]

add a can_use function

[candid epoch]

ofc theres no can_use in example...

[violet void]

Not wrong per se but I would probably remove the check if highlighted exists and actually loop the highlighted cards instead of max_highlighted

[weary jungle]

make it return true when #G.hand.highlighted is less than max_highlighted

[candid epoch]

i need only 1 highlighted, not multiple

[violet void]

I saw, but, generally speaking

[candid epoch]

i am just so confused

[candid epoch]

also you mean less or equal?

[weary jungle]

<=

[candid epoch]

also what function can_use uses?

just self or anything else?

[weary jungle]

        return --insert here
    end,```

[vagrant cedar]

Is there anybody that knows coding outside of Balatro that can help me with my project?

I'm trying to run a gameboy emulator inside Balatro

[frosty dock]

[tight thistle]

excuse me, where would the queen check go here? ive tried a lot of things but nothing is working

[candid epoch]

        if #G.hand.highlighted <= max_highlighted then
            return true
        else
            return false
    end,```
this?

[weary jungle]

you can simplify

return #G.hand.highlighted <= max_highlighted

[candid epoch]

"you can simplyfy" man you sound like my math teacher 😭

[worthy stirrup]

Is there a way to have a keybind select a card?

[candid epoch]

there is a mod that does it for gamepad support

i clicked on a card after adding

       return #G.hand.highlighted <= max_highlighted
    end,```
and game crashed lmao

[weary jungle]

card.ability.max_highlighted

[weary jungle]

not max highlighted

[wooden badge]

@tight thistle you need to add a new boolean variable (call it queen_check or something like that do whatever you like) in vars and default it false. Then you need a context.before check and scan for queens and then if there are any change the boolean to true. Then run what you have with 'if queen_check then...'

[karmic totem]

i have a quick question. what does this crash mean and how do i fix it? is it a mod crashing or is it smth else?

[candid epoch]

       return #G.hand.highlighted = card.ability.max_highlighted
    end,```
i be going insane by the end of this

[candid epoch]

you showing us just the mod list, not the issue 😭

[karmic totem]

the crash is up top but i can zoom in on it

[vagrant cedar]

its below the mod list

[candid epoch]

ctrl + C

ctrl + V

[paper lantern]

Hey so I'm getting an error related to the json metadata. Does anything stick out about this?

[karmic totem]

gimme a sec

[hardy viper]

needs a version

[candid epoch]

remove dependencies if you have none

[hardy viper]

and a badge colour

and yeah remove dependencies array but that shouldnt be an issue

[karmic totem]

alright here

[vagrant cedar]

Something with the Blind Editions mod

That's all I can get from it

[hardy viper]

thats first-round-joker

[candid epoch]

oooga booga shit crash

       return #G.hand.highlighted <= card.ability.max_highlighted
    end,```
i am stupid lmao

[hardy viper]

not blind editions

[paper lantern]

Ah thanks. Seems like it's recognizing it. Any way to avoid the unlock requirement? And easily test it?

[vagrant cedar]

debugplus

[hardy viper]

install debugplus, hover over card in collection, hit 2 to discover, hit 3 while ingame (again while hovering over the joker) to spawn it

@karmic totem uninstall first round joker btw

thats whats crashing

[paper lantern]

That's a mod I assue?

[karmic totem]

Alright then

[hardy viper]

ya

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus

[paper lantern]

kk I'll take a look then

[wooden badge]

@tight thistle I mean it's one way to do it. In the queen scan portion I think you need to have it during context.individual AND context.before and then loop through the cards in the played hand, have the loop break as well once it finds a queen

[candid epoch]

@weary jungle, i did everything you asked and it still dont work

[weary jungle]

can you send your code?

[candid epoch]

  loc_txt = {
    name = "White Potion",
    text = {
        "Add {green}Green Seal{}", 
        "to {C:attention}1{} selected card"

    cost = 2,
    order = 7,
    max_highlighted = 1,
    can_use = function(self, card)
       return #G.hand.highlighted <= card.ability.max_highlighted

                for i = 1, card.ability.max_highlighted do
                    local highlighted = G.hand.highlighted[i]

                    if highlighted then
                        highlighted:set_seal('s_potionup_potseal')
                    else
                        break
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
}```

it says it trying to compare number with nil

[weary jungle]

what line is the error on/

[candid epoch]

the one added
return #G.hand.highlighted <= card.ability.max_highlighted

[hardy viper]

card.ability.max_highlighted is nil becuase you dont have it set in your config (you dont have a config at all)

[paper lantern]

Is there any way to get intellisense?

[candid epoch]

people said config is just for fucking description

[hardy viper]

add ```
config = {
extra = {
max_highlighted = 5 --any number
}
},

[karmic totem]

that works but now when i move to page 3 of my decks this happens :/

[hardy viper]

people is wrong

[candid epoch]

  loc_txt = {
    name = "White Potion",

still broken

[viscid bough]

anyone able to help me here?

[karmic totem]

anybody here know how to fix this??

[weary jungle]

card.ability.extra.max_highlighted instead of card.ability.max_highlighted

[candid epoch]

you said earlier that card.ability.max_highlighted???

[weary jungle]

that was when you had no config

now that you have a config, its a bit different

[candid epoch]

welp, now it breaks when applying seal

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkk

[weary jungle]

make sure to replace all instances of card.ability.max_highlighted

even in the use function

[weary jungle]

you might have forgotten to change the one in use consumable

[karmic totem]

What do you mean lua i dont even have Lua installed 😭

[candid epoch]

  loc_txt = {

[candid epoch]

lua is the laungague used to make this

you have it, you just dont know it

but anyway, your problem is an atlas

[tight thistle]

i dont understand, im sorry

[weary jungle]

is it working now?

[karmic totem]

oh. well how do i either make the atlas work or delete it?

[tight thistle]

i keep trying but the result is always either the effect doesnt work at all, or it works regardless of queens

[candid epoch]

no... it crashes when clicking "use" to apply it

[weary jungle]

what is the crash?

[candid epoch]

atlas is used to make textures correct

[wooden badge]

I will give you a mock up code and try to explain

[weary jungle]

do you have an atlas?

[karmic totem]

i assume so

[candid epoch]

i am like takeing one hour to make one fucking make one consumable, i am going insane

[weary jungle]

do you have an image of the joker? or is there no art yet

[karmic totem]

how do i figure out what the atlas is trying to show?

[candid epoch]

whatever you assigned it

whats on your 11 line of code?

[weary jungle]

are you making a mod?

[candid epoch]

atleast i think its that

[karmic totem]

no but i was told in modding chat that i ask questions here. i dont remember who said that tho.

[weary jungle]

this is more of a #⚙・modding-general then

modding dev is for when you are developing mods

[karmic totem]

oh ok

sorry then didnt know really

[weary jungle]

its ok

[candid epoch]

why the fuck my game, crashes when seal is being made, idfk

[weary jungle]

what is the crash

[wooden badge]

@tight thistle

something like that

you may have to tweak your 'if' branch structures but that's the idea

[rigid moss]

Hey guys, I have a problem... after updating lovely to newest version for some reason my override of Card:calculate_joker(context) and subsequently all my jokers that modified it completely stopped working

for example I have a joker that converts joker to the left to xmult by capturing the return message from calculate_joker and turning some fields to xmult

according to debug console the message actually changed

[wooden badge]

@tight thistle

[rigid moss]

but the joker returned its old value anyways. This did not happen before and the conversion joker worked properly but now stopped

[wooden badge]

this is a bit more thorough

@tight thistle Do note that you can't just blindly copy paste what I wrote there its just a skeleton for the idea that I am suggesting, you will need to figure out how your bits and pieces fit together

[rigid moss]

did lovely change the way function overrides work in newest version or something completely different is at fault here?

[candid epoch]

i need to check something, whats the code for applying golden seal?

[rigid moss]

card:set_seal('Gold', true) should work

[candid epoch]

that contredicts whole shit

[paper lantern]

Alright this is kind of strange. The joker sort of looks as you'd expect when you bring the settings menu up. But in normal gameplay it gets dark.

Anyone know why?

[worthy stirrup]

Is there a way to select a card with the code

[candid epoch]

possibily? there is boss blind that forces a card to be selected every time

[worthy stirrup]

im aware but im trying to figure out how to do it, lol

G.hand:add_to_highlighted()

[paper lantern]

Ya can't find anything about the Joker appearing super dark in gameplay. The sprite atlas is a png like the base game.

[candid epoch]

the shaders of CRT may be the thing

try to turn it off

and see what happens

anyway, i am going insane by how the fuck the seal not working properly

[tight thistle]

much appreciated, sorry for the bother!

[wooden badge]

@tight thistle does it make some sense now after my picture?

[paper lantern]

Nah it didn't fix it. This test texture seems to be working fine. How strange.

[tight thistle]

i havent looked yet, had to get up, i will take a look now

[candid epoch]

goofy

[worthy stirrup]

Im unsure what is causing this crash

SMODS.Keybind{
  key = 'FirstCard',
  key_pressed = '1',

  -- Initialize the toggle state
  toggle_state = false,

  action = function(self)
      if G.hand then
          -- Toggle the state
          self.toggle_state = not self.toggle_state

          -- Use the toggled state in your function
          G.hand:add_to_highlighted(G.hand.cards[0], self.toggle_state)
      end
  end
}

[candid epoch]

i am giving up with the seal for today

[worthy stirrup]

okay, it now selects it, but it no longer deslects it, even if the card is discarded

[candid epoch]

well you have _add_to_highlighted

[worthy stirrup]

How do i play a hand, i see G.play but im sure thats most likely not all thats needed

[violet void]

Does formatting not work for the unlock condition?

It's always attention and not important 🙄

[candid epoch]

lmao

[tight thistle]

nope, sorry

[hidden timber]

current status of the mods page

How can I trigger scoring for a certain card?

As in: Is there a function that lets me do something like this?
some_card:score()

[iron socket]

Hello, I am new to Balatro modding (and modding in general), I've been creating a few mods by looking at other ones and trying to understand how they do what they do. I want to create a mod that replaces the texture and name of specific things (Jokers, playing cards, tarots, etc.) without replacing the entire file. For example, I want to rename and retexture the Lucky Cat Joker to be Turbo Granny from DanDaDan, but I don't want to replace the entire en-us and Jokers files. Can anyone tell me how that's done or show me a mod that does it so I can learn? Thanks

[zealous glen]

Try Malverk

Check out Legendere for referece

[iron socket]

Great, thanks! If I have any other questions I'll be sure to come back

[candid epoch]

question
if my prefix is " potionup "
my seal key is " potseal "
then the correct code to apply it to a card is " s_potionup_potseal "?

or i fucked up?

[sand oasis]

that sounds right

Is there a context for after a hand is played?

[elder vapor]

thats right

[sand oasis]

context.after? sounds about right looking at the context Ice Cream is used in

[candid epoch]

then why this shit fucking crashes when seal suppose to be applied

[elder vapor]

how are you applying the seal

(also i like to look at mods that add stuff when adding smth (like cryptid))

i think wrong channel bud

[hidden timber]

me?

[rough furnace]

No I am a mod dev trust

[candid epoch]

maybe you are, but how this releated 😭

[dusk garnet]

yeah

[candid epoch]

i am loseing myself trying to make seal work properly

[viscid bough]

Yall I wanted to make a mod named after a spectral card but that cryptid guy has, like, all of them already 😭😭😭

[frosty dock]

seals don't have a s_ prefix last I checked?

[frosty dock]

just pull a reverie and make your own spectral to name your mod after

[weary jungle]

name it after a cryptid spectral 😭

[candid epoch]

...it works now...

PLEASE SOMEONE FOR THE LORD OF CHRIST UPDATE THE EXAMPLE

[frosty dock]

wtf that example is so fucking old

[candid epoch]

and then i have to ask about everything how to do when example is outdated 😭

[frosty dock]

that's a solid 5+ months old example

the date of its creation is literally closer to the release of steamodded 0.9.8 than it is to today

💀💀💀

[candid epoch]

someone really needs to update it...

new devs like me have hard time learning 😭

and it doesnt help me that some devs are also oblivvious

like these 2 were wrong apparently

well, gn

[violet void]

It would be "potionup_potseal_seal"

Smods adds "_seal" automatically

Also, I feel you

I guess that was already discussed above though

[lean swift]

hey this is probs a really basic question but if I wanna edit the texture of a single joker do i just edit the jokers.png file in resources/textures/2x (or 1x idk what the difference is)?

[wooden badge]

@tight thistle Then I'm afriad I'm going to have to be brutally honest and suggest you go away and get the hang of some programming fundamentals and seriously consider if this is what you want to spend your time on. Only then should you try and make some sense of Balatro's source code and the steamodded API.

[frosty dock]

the _seal should only be there when referring to seal badges and descriptions iirc - it's due to how the game handles seals differently in different places and I can't really make it consistent

[violet void]

Oh yeah thats true

[tight thistle]

k

[frosty dock]

on it boss

[violet void]

That was brutal alright...

[night pagoda]

Any ideas?

I want to score a certain card under some condition while the regular scoring happens

[violet void]

Do you mean like how lusty joker adds +3 to Heart cards?

[night pagoda]

Nope; more like red seal retriggers except it's not the same card gets scored again

[analog pilot]

they want to just be able to score a card even if its not a part of the poker hand

[frosty dock]

#1209564621644505158 message

[zealous glen]

Someone was asking about it earlier

[zealous glen]

By the way, is there a way to score the hand again (including spending a Hand)?

[night pagoda]

Wtf, do I just use this whole thing???

[zealous glen]

I had code for it which I need to update

[tight thistle]

feels great

[frosty dock]

better calc is not better enough to be able to consistently use the same function across all scoring contexts

[viscid bough]

Im planning to make a consumable that brings back a random joker that you’ve sold or destroyed. Is this possible without some sorta patching? If so, how would I patch something in to let me do this

[frosty dock]

i could try to see if there's anything similar enough to be merged into a single function, but i think main joker/card scoring is just a bit too unique

[zealous glen]

I mean you either need to save the card keys or exact copies of the cards

Then select one of them

IIRC myst had a graveyard

@frosty dock I asked earlier, but now that I'm trying to do it, I'm a bit confused what's the best way to iterate over the deck and discard pile to calculate a new context

[wooden badge]

sorry if that sounded off-handed, it wan't meant to be. I'm not going to beat about the bush though, you need to sit down and really work out how variables and checks on those variables are processed before you can approach stuff like this yourself.

Every language has its quirks but the fundamental rules are pretty much the same across languages

[maiden river]

finally got the forum page for my mod up to date

feelin swag

[hidden timber]

Rust

Assembly

Mainly

[dusk garnet]

nice!

[zealous glen]

I'm mostly trying to decide if it should be SMODS.trigger_effects or what

that doesn't seem to receive a full context table, so maybe eval_card?

[frosty dock]

something along the lines of

local context = {something}
context.cardarea = G.deck
for i=1, #G.deck.cards do
  local effects = {eval_card(G.deck.cards[i], context)}
  SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(G.deck.cards[i], effects, context)
  SMODS.trigger_effects(effects, G.deck.cards[i])
end
context.cardarea = G.discard
for i=1, #G.discard.cards do
  local effects = {eval_card(G.discard.cards[i], context)}
  SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(G.discard.cards[i], effects, context)
  SMODS.trigger_effects(effects, G.discard.cards[i])
end

[zealous glen]

Does this work for non-Enhancements?

[frosty dock]

wdym non-enhancements? calculate_quantum_enhancements just evaluates additional effects from additional enhancements if they exist

this is basically what calculate_context does minus the return_table part

[zealous glen]

I want a Sticker to apply its effects right now

[frosty dock]

not sure if this is something that should be added into steamodded for all viable contexts, seems like a lot of overhead

[frosty dock]

works, that will happen inside of eval_card

[zealous glen]

"this" what?

[frosty dock]

calculation on deck and discard

[zealous glen]

Ah, while I do think having it by default might be too much, I think it would be a nice option mods could be able to activate

without needing to reimplement it

because each mod iterating on their own is even more overhead

besides the fact I'm sure some mods won't do it properly and cause side effects 🤔

(with other mods)

So if a mod could request that some context be applied to some area would be useful

[viscid bough]

If this is in terms of patching, where could i save the keys at? I barely know how to do patching really but im gonna atleast try if its needed for this idea

[zealous glen]

You can create a global dictionary for your mod per run and save there

The Castle example does something similar

[frosty dock]

okay what if I check any loaded files for containing context.cardarea == G.discard or context.cardarea == G.deck and use that to activate the contexts 🤔

[zealous glen]

when the context.cardarea ~= G.play

[violet void]

This might be the most complicated thing I tried

I'm trying to have a Joker retrigger the Joker to the left for X repetitions, and while it's working for non-scoring contexts, xmult, mult and chips dont apply at all

Suggestions?

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

            if G.jokers.cards[self_index - 1] then
                for i = 1, card.ability.repeats do
                    local effects = eval_card(G.jokers.cards[self_index - 1], context)
                    if effects.jokers then
                        card_eval_status_text(G.jokers.cards[self_index - 1], 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('cs_fall_again'), colour = G.C.YELLOW})
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end```

[frosty dock]

you should be using context.retrigger_joker_check for your retriggers (assuming better calc)

[violet void]

you assumed correctly, lemme try

[zealous glen]

it's literally easier to just have a mod ask SMODS to do it than to write a parser that doesn't even cover all cases 😭

[frosty dock]

fair enough

[karmic kelp]

I'm working on a mod, and just about to get onto making the jokers. I've currently got old calc (I think before better calc even released?)
should I upgrade immediately or hold off?

[zealous glen]

I think you should upgrade

I upgraded and for the most part I didn't have do change anything

I think I had one or two broken patches

[topaz sun]

Upgrade, bttercalc is better and mods will probably start using it from now on

[random sleet]

bettercalc doesnt even change that much if you arent doing certain things

(mostly enhancements, and jokers need to return mult instead of mult_mod)

[wintry solar]

They can return mult mod still

It just requires a message too

[random sleet]

oh yeah

[zealous glen]

also I have a question

[random sleet]

that makes sense

[zealous glen]

what's the proper way to destroy a card or multiple and send it as context

[topaz sun]

like, playing cards? I was wondering the same thing

[zealous glen]

I was thinking everything

But mainly playing cards

[random sleet]

i think pcards and other cards have different destruction contexts

[zealous glen]

Currently trying this out which doesn't quite work with Canio

local vic_destroy_card = function(card)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.2,
        func = function()
            if card and not card.removed then
                if card.ability.name == 'Glass Card' then
                    card:shatter()
                else
                    card:start_dissolve(nil, i == #G.hand.highlighted)
                end
            end
            if card.playing_card and G.jokers then
                for j = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                    eval_card(G.jokers.cards[j], {
                        cardarea = G.jokers,
                        remove_playing_cards = true,
                        removed = {card}
                    })
                end
            end
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[zealous glen]

To be fair, I don't think there are destruction contexts for non-playing cards

[topaz sun]

I'm working on a Porcelain Card enhancement and Canio is also the issue

[karmic kelp]

are there any tips for figuring out why an atlas isn't being loaded?

[frosty dock]

alright seals mod is updated

[random sleet]

seals mod

[frosty dock]

seal mod, rather

this one

[hidden timber]

daily reminder, for everyone who wants their mod on the Balatro Mod Manager:
https://github.com/skyline69/balatro-mod-index

[frosty dock]

@wintry solar thoughts on this?

[frosty dock]

also this

I see a lot of loc_vars being done incorrectly and not working with tooltips as a result

[zealous glen]

Out of curiosity, any ideas for how to handle card destruction besides asking thunk to fix it in vanilla

[wintry solar]

I’d considered having deck cards in calc context, but thought it would add too many unnecessary calculations, a toggle could be worthwhile though

[frosty dock]

thinking we could have something like a mod.optional_features function that can enable access to things like this that are too expensive to have always on

[zealous glen]

Actually I do have a suggestion

See if a Joker still exists before calculating it or displaying a message on it

I'm getting popups on thin air when I destroy Canio alongside cards

[topaz sun]

I'm trying to make an enhancement that breaks similarly to Glass Cards, but for some reason when the card is destroyed it "goes back" into the deck. the deck card count becomes "52/51" and sometimes the "ghost card" is drawn and sits in hand

What am I doing wrong?

[zealous glen]

There's some timing issues regarding when the card is destroyed

If the timing for destruction is the same as Glass, there's a variable you can set so that it is automatically destroyed

[topaz sun]

I couldn't find the glass card code inside card.lua

[topaz sun]

what variable? I don't think it's the same timing, though. Because my enhancement doesn't break along with the glass cards

[zealous glen]

It's a part of the scoring step

not a property of the card

[wintry solar]

Not sure on this one, what scenarios don’t currently have a card anyway? Is it just info queue stuff?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[wintry solar]

Oh the fake card would be the card it would normally be right?

[frosty dock]

it's not a lot of effort to handle correctly, maybe we just need it to be documented better

[wintry solar]

Or would it be a one size fits all dummy card to stop the card indexing crash?

[frosty dock]

the fake card would be similar to what I did to retrieve the joker vars

[wintry solar]

I think that’s probably a good idea then

[topaz sun]

Did you ever find out? I have the same issue

[autumn geode]

have their been changes in the way that SMOD handles custom enhancements, following the wiki i added the calculate function for x_mult as listed but my effect is always nil

[wintry solar]

Yes the wiki is outdated, enhancements follow all other calculation principles now

[wintry solar]

Can you ss your destruction code?

[autumn geode]

thanks

[topaz sun]

This is inside the calculate

[wintry solar]

On an enhancement?

[topaz sun]

yep

the card:remove_from_deck is just me desperarely trying anything

[wintry solar]

Why are you using final scoring step and not destroying card

See https://github.com/Eremel/Ortalab/blob/master/objects/enhancements.lua#L157 for reference

[topaz sun]

oooh, makes sense now

so theres a whole context for card destruction inside enhancements

[wintry solar]

Probably needs an area check too though

My sand cards were hastily updated

[topaz sun]

Thanks a lot!

[wintry solar]

In fact, these contexts need the area adding

I shall have to remember that for another time

[dusk garnet]

is there a way to disable the shop's reroll button

[topaz sun]

So, in this case, G.play?

[wooden badge]

is the G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet.config.softlock variable what the game uses to check if the secret planets are now discoverable? if not I assume there's a boolean somewhere that flips once they are

[wintry solar]

Eh I’ll just do it now on mobile

[wintry solar]

If you update, it’ll be context.cardarea == G.play yeah

[autumn geode]

using context.cardarea == G.play my shit went off like 5 times each

is it triggering because there is more than one card with the enhancement played in the hand

adding context.individual it ended up not adding any mult at all

would anyone know what the context is so that the enhanced card only triggers the once during scoring?

[wintry solar]

Add context.main_scoring to the area check

[autumn geode]

ah thanks

[viscid bough]

are there any examples of custom consumables?

[frosty dock]

is there a reason for repetition checks with calculate_repetitions being different between G.hand and G.play calc? play calls it once with a nil ref as card_effects, while hand calls it inside the loop with existing card_effects based on effects.calculated?

[wintry solar]

I think that was just how it was in vanilla

[frosty dock]

uh alright

[wintry solar]

Maybe due to not needing reps on cards that don’t have effects?

Every played card should have an effect so I guess they can be calced first?

[autumn geode]

this does have the slight downside of the first card played when converted doesnt apply the effect but all other ones after do wether they are converted in that hand or not

i think that maybe unavoidable though

oh infact the first card doesnt trigger the ability at all even if it was enhanced before or not

[dusk garnet]

is there a function that is called when a joker is destroyed by any means (selling, other cards, etc.)

[autumn geode]

and if that card is played on its own then the ability doesnt trigger either

[dusk garnet]

as in how would i listen for an event and call something on that

[topaz sun]

It didn't work 😢

still ghost cards in deck when card is destroyed

I'm on the latest steamodded

[wintry solar]

Get rid of the old bit

[autumn geode]

oh its setting the initial value of my cards to have nil instead of 1 when it converts to the enhancement

[topaz sun]

card's not destroyed without the old part

[dusk garnet]

maybe something with card:remove?

[wintry solar]

It should be

Where are you setting your card to be marked?

[dusk garnet]

who is this responding to

ah

icic

[topaz sun]

At line 248 here

[wintry solar]

Can you throw a print in the destroying context?

[viscid bough]

Ive got a few questions for a consumable im making. Its a spectral card thats supposed to create a negative copy of a random destroyed joker. I think ive got the things i need correct, however for one: I dont know how to make the card negative. Two: i dont know how to actually add destroyed jokers to the table i made. Id assume patches? but im not sure where to patch and last time i tried to make a patch it was absolutely terrible

[topaz sun]

It displays the message

I added print("message") just below the destroying_card context

[viscid bough]

oh and i also am not sure what color to put for the negative text so its just default text color instead of the cool negative text color

[wintry solar]

But it doesn’t destroy?

[dusk garnet]

the joker's calculate function isn't being called when it's destroyed by something like the dagger

[topaz sun]

Nope, doesn't do anything

[dusk garnet]

what do i have to do to run something in a card's code when it's about to be destroyed

[topaz sun]

It does give the xchips, but no destroying

[wintry solar]

I am baffled

[topaz sun]

So am I

[viscid bough]

anyone able to help me with this?

[wintry solar]

Can you send me the state events lovely dump?

[topaz sun]

How do I do that?

[wintry solar]

mods/lovely/dumps/functions

[topaz sun]

ok

[wintry solar]

Try updating again now

[autumn geode]

is there a way to make a custom joker have the same visual size as the square joker basically making another square joker but with different ability and art

[zealous glen]

Yes

[autumn geode]

are there some properties i can change for the card like the width and height directly?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[autumn geode]

would you happen to know what those are or any general way i can find it

[vagrant cedar]

very helpful

[zealous glen]

It's something likethis but it feels very jank

You can check vanilla code and it's very similar

[wintry solar]

I believe smods supports it in object definition now

[zealous glen]

but I feel like this doesn't always work

[zealous glen]

ohhh

but probably not offsetting right?

[topaz sun]

Works perfectly now

[wintry solar]

Some pixelsize or something

[dusk garnet]

wasn't able to figure this out yet

anyone have any idea?

[wintry solar]

I didn’t read the pr fully

[topaz sun]

Thank you once more

[wintry solar]

Was merged the other day though

[dusk garnet]

the problem i'm trying to solve is setting/unsetting a flag while a joker is held

[viscid bough]

.

[wintry solar]

No thanks for spotting, was just a missing line in a function

[wintry solar]

You want add_to_deck and remove from deck

[zealous glen]

1. Search the wiki for set_edition;
2. Saving a card is complicated; saving a key should just be saving the string somewhere where it's actually saved

[zealous glen]

Keep in mind the Joker isn't yet in the deck when added and isn't yet out when removed

[topaz sun]

You could save the destroyed jokers' keys inside a table inside the spectral card's abilities . I don't know how you'd get the keys for the jokers that were destroyed before you got the spectral, though

And then you'd use something like create_card to create the jokers once you use the spectral and set_edition to make em negative

[viscid bough]

i cant seem to find a wiki thing for set_edition but i found an example without any explanations on it. idk what the last two arguments are but they're set to true in the example

[supple folio]

Is there a way to add or remove a card from a pool when playing a specific deck?

[viscid bough]

im also not sure why its an object and not just a string for the edition

[zealous glen]

this is how it is in vanilla

[wintry solar]

It’s on the edition page in the wiki

[zealous glen]

not according to the search

[runic pecan]

Does smods doc include codes about side description?

[wintry solar]

??

[zealous glen]

Blame GitHub search I guess

[frosty dock]

not sure why or how, but i went with the way held cards do it, and now repetitions from jokers on played cards don't work anymore

[wintry solar]

That’s odd, got a screenshot I can look at?

[frosty dock]

nothing too interesting, it just doesn't retrigger. red seals and mime work fine

pushed what i have so far to a branch

[wintry solar]

Pls ss mobile toml browsing is hard

[frosty dock]

hold on lemme try something

[viscid bough]

okay so ive got this

the first one i mean

i think

but now im not sure how to save the keys of destroyed jokers

im assuming i gotta do some sorta patch

(Which i havent figured out really how to do well)

i already have my thing setting up a global table thingy to hold the keys

[zealous glen]

no just create a table like this

and save to it

[viscid bough]

the saving to it is what i dont know how to do

i already have it creating a table for destroyed jokers

i just need to figure out how to save to it

[zealous glen]

uh

table[#table + 1] = key

[viscid bough]

not what i mean

i mean like

Detecting when a joker is destroyed and then saving its key

[zealous glen]

ah

[viscid bough]

ive used lua before, and so im not having too many issues with that stuff like tables, but what i havent used before is whatever the patch stuff is

[frosty dock]

okay nvm

[misty cape]

i am confusion

[vagrant cedar]

I stole that one guy's idea and started making music album Jokers

[viscid bough]

you should make it in/jokers fr fr

[vagrant cedar]

The first one works

unrelated(related) question: Is it possible to give chips or mult a decimal value?

wait dumb question, i've done it before

Nevermind

[viscid bough]

anyone know how this could be done? im assuming patches but id need some help with how to actually do that. Idk where you're supposed to put patch files or how they're formatted.

[wintry solar]

Yeah I don’t see why this wouldn’t work, I can take a look tomorrow if you have sorted it by then

[ionic verge]

my jokers feel oddly common whenever i playtest, like appearing way more than other jokers in their rarity bracket, does anyone know whats up with that?

(also, ive seen dupes appear without showman)

[zealous glen]

did you create the jokers with debugplus

[ionic verge]

no with steammodded

though i have debug enabled

[zealous glen]

I meant in-game

[ionic verge]

does it boost modded jokers or something?

[zealous glen]

by opening the collection and pressing 3

[ionic verge]

i did

[zealous glen]

It allows duplicates to appear

[ionic verge]

mhm
still doesnt answer the too common problem

[zealous glen]

You need to generate it either in the shop or through Judgement, etc. for it to not be duplicated

[ionic verge]

though that might just be me

[zealous glen]

confirmation bias

[ionic verge]

yeah

[dusk garnet]

how might i access "shop_final_pass" (the place where tags are triggered) in a joker context?

[viscid bough]

alr i think ive changed my mind about this card idea, its to hard to make. Im just gonna make it like a better Fool.

[dusk garnet]

maybe do something when card:remove is triggered?

check that it got removed from the jokers cardarea, then add it to your list

[tepid crow]

you don't need patches

hold on, I've got a similar joker implemented to your idea

oh wait destroyed? 🤔

[viscid bough]

its alright, im gonna change it

i also realised its sorta unuseful because its not super often that a joker gets destroyed

[tepid crow]

I mean should be doable if joker destruction triggers [JOKER]:calculate_joker({destroying_card = [CARD], full_hand = G.play.cards})

EDIT: it does not. You'd probably have to hook start_dissolve? And make sure it's not being sold

[tepid crow]

fair enough lol

[viscid bough]

gonna change it to be like a better fool card

[dusk garnet]

can't seem to figure this one out

i looked at the code for the "cash out" button and it sets the state to G.STATE.SHOP

and i can see where it actually populates the jokers and stuff

[frosty dock]

figured it out, i just needed to keep context.other_card around

[flat ridge]

Does anyone have any ideas on how to add my language to the ui?

[zealous glen]

How do you pass the context of a Joker being destroying to other Jokers 🤔

[tepid crow]

I misread! Woop. I have a joker that works on sold jokers instead.

An actual implementation would be to hook :start_dissolve, check if the card is a Joker and make sure it's not being sold by checking G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card

[zealous glen]

That's at least less jank than how Betmma did it

(checking the colors passed to start_dissolve)

[tepid crow]

HAHAHA

I considered that for a second

[zealous glen]

also I guess it doesn't require calling calculate each time

Unlike the vanilla implementation

[misty cape]

what function should i use if i am only trying to change between 2 different textures if the config option is enabled?

[sturdy compass]

Is there any way I can get the actual name here instead of the key? It works fine for vanilla jokers. G.GAME.current_round.zombie_target just holds a joker object

[raw geyser]

Anyone up to be guinea pigs for a complex simulation mod? I tried to make DV's sim mod work with any mods, but haven't tested it much

[elder vapor]

G.localization.descriptions.Joker[key].name

[sturdy compass]

Cool, ty

[sand oasis]

this may be a bit complex but would anyone understand how to sort your hand to find the highest valued card (as in its rank, a King)

[elder vapor]

ig do what raised fist does but inverse

[sand oasis]

oh good call

[dusk garnet]

still need help with this ^

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/tree/cardareas here we go

[zealous glen]

smods at cardareas?

Oh it's the branch

[frosty dock]

still need to test the actual feature added here, being calculation for deck and discard areas

[zealous glen]

Earlier Eremel gave me code which worked for me

[analog pilot]

...this may be a stupid question, how do i get ready to make a mod? i have vscode and i have a folder for the mod but i'm not sure what exactly i need to do

unless if thats all and i can get to coding

[frosty dock]

mostly what i did was extract more things into util functions where you just have to pass the cardarea for it to work

[zealous glen]

do you have steamodded (and thus lovely)

[analog pilot]

yeah

i have all that

[zealous glen]

then that should be it

[analog pilot]

oh cool lol, ty

Which file is localize function code stored?

[elder vapor]

localization/default.lua

[sand oasis]

which lua file has the consumables?

[nova finch]

can anyone help? still ttrying to fix this

[runic pecan]

I can't find it.
de.lua is german.

[elder vapor]

default.lua is just the language the game defaults to if none is found

en-us.lua is the exact same

[sand oasis]

Would anyone happen to know where the code for the Tarot cards is stored?

[elder vapor]

card.lua

[misty cape]

i feel like im doing this wrong.. also, my config doesn't update when i reload the game. both options are always ticked off

i just want it to use the top one by default and if i check the option in config, it uses the bottom one

top part does work but changing the option does nothing.

[runic pecan]

should use if-else instead

if config.hc_Neon then
Atlas HighContrastNeon
else
Atlas HighContrast
end

[misty cape]

youre awesome thank you so mcuh

[covert nova]

How does Talisman calculate final hand size? Could it be optimized to prevent crashes on stupid mods?

Like does it just use whatever built in math functions Lua has

[misty cape]

Any incite on why my config options don't work? they show, but when i toggle on and go back, then look again and its toggled off.

[runic pecan]

Ah crap, sorry.
The Atlas is loaded when the game is booted

[nova finch]

still can't get my joker to work how i want to

[tacit flicker]

be so fr with me, is balatro modding a good place to start modding in general? like i know a little bit about coding, but i wanna know if im being too ambitious

[runic pecan]

Which means you have to load both atlas with different keys, and using if-else in smods.joker.
Make the joker itself decide which png it wanna load.

(Steamodded) I'm trying to make a Joker that multiplies every price in a shop by 0.7 when in deck, but it's not working. Mod prefix tiwmig and Joker key generic_brand. Here's the code (inside the Joker object) for its add_to_deck and remove_from_deck (based on Astronomer):

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
        for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
            if v.set_cost then v:set_cost() end
        end
    return true end }))
end,

remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
        for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
            if v.set_cost then v:set_cost() end
        end
    return true end }))
end

and then I also have a thing being injected into the set_cost function:

#Add discount for Generic Brand Joker
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "if (self.ability.set == 'Planet' or (self.ability.set == 'Booster' and self.ability.name:find('Celestial'))) and #find_joker('Astronomer') > 0 then self.cost = 0 end"
position = "after"
payload = "if #SMODS.find_card('tiwmig_generic_brand') > 0 then self.cost = self.cost*(1-0.3) end"
match_indent = true

I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong, input would be appreciated

[runic pecan]

I have a similar joker that also manipulates shop item price.

In the previous version of that joker,
I looked up the coupon tag.

[versed swan]

How did you implement that Joker?

[sick sparrow]

how to make variants of same card?

like the variant that changes no functionality but only design

[runic pecan]

I wrote:
if G.shop_jokers and G.shop_booster then
for k, v in pairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
v.cost = [Enter new cost]
end
for k, v in pairs(G.shop_booster.cards) do
v.cost = [Enter new cost]
end
end

[versed swan]

I'll give that a try, thank you

Another question while I'm here, is there like a list of the properties that "G" has or whatever?

[runic pecan]

Look at the very start of game.lua

[analog pilot]

so it begins

[sick sparrow]

how to make variants of same card?

[versed swan]

Ah, I see, thank you

[runic pecan]

Usually I'd just copy-paste.
Unless you just want to code one joker and have others sync up automatically.

[sick sparrow]

no, i mean the real variant that changes card's design and points to same card structure

[iron socket]

Heyo, I was able to learn how to adjust the texture per joker, but I'm still stumped on how to set the name per joker, without editing en-us as a whole. Can anyone elighten me? Thanks!

[runic pecan]

You said "design" as in, atlas/sprite?

[sick sparrow]

yes

[sick sparrow]

still thinking?

[runic pecan]

Just think of an idea

Let's say, write

    return bamtris_calculate(self, card, context)
end```And define bamtris_calculate outside of SMODS.Joker but in the same file.

So it would like

end

SMODS.Joker{[Bamtris]}
SMODS.Joker{[looking]}
SMODS.Joker{[weirdo]}
...```

I keep getting this crash when winning a blind with a joker with this code
I'm trying to give $2 for the amount of cards left in deck at the end of a round

[faint yacht]

...uh, if you're doing it there, would it not be better to try and #G.playing_cards*2?

[ionic verge]

alright im trying to make a blueprint/brainstorm like joker, can i get a run down of what this stuff does so i know what im doing?

[analog pilot]

where did you find this code?

[ionic verge]

card.lua

[analog pilot]

i see

i was trying to find the code for midas mask earlier n couldn't find it in there

[ionic verge]

just look for midas using ctrl-f

[analog pilot]

it was giving me no results but doing it again now it is

💔

i also want to look at strength bc it's important for what i'm doing too

[nova finch]

ok i switched it, still crashes tho

[ionic verge]

i see what this is doing now, for blueprint
finds itself using the for loop, then finds the guy right after him

would there be anything id have to set up for this? like does other_joker need to be initialized or something?

[faint yacht]

Weird... is #G.playing_cards*2 becoming nil? What's the actual line in the lovely/dump/functions/state_events.lua that it errors out?

[nova finch]

the line says add_round_eval_row({dollars = ret, bonus = true, name='joker'..i, pitch = pitch, card = G.jokers.cards[i]})
