Try return #G.playing_cards > 0 and #G.playing_cards*2 directly?

[nova finch]

just replace everything in calc_dollar_bonus with that? because if that's what you mean that didn't seem to work

it's the same crash mesage

[faint yacht]

Weird then for sure.

[onyx inlet]

Is the state of the deck available at money calculation time?

I’m just wondering if you might have to have your joker check the number of remaining cards at the end of each hand and then use that number at money time.

[nova finch]

idk

[sick sparrow]

nah, i put variant to same thing

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        if (not from_debuff) and math.random() >= 2/5 then
            card.ability.extra.variant = tostring(math.random(1,#bamtris_variants))
        end
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "j_gerioc2_monomino", set = "Joker", vars = {} }
        if card.ability.extra.variant and bamtris_variants[tonumber(card.ability.extra.variant)] then
            info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = bamtris_variants[tonumber(card.ability.extra.variant)][1], set = "Bamtris_Variant", vars = {} }
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.remain, localize{type="name_text", key = "j_gerioc2_monomino", set = "Joker"} } }
    end,
    update = function(self, card, dt)
        if card.ability.extra.variant and bamtris_variants[tonumber(card.ability.extra.variant)] then
            card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS[bamtris_variants[tonumber(card.ability.extra.variant)][2]]
            card.children.center:set_sprite_pos(bamtris_variants[tonumber(card.ability.extra.variant)][3])
        end
        card.ability.extra.remain = math.floor(card.ability.extra.remain+0.5) --for the case where the number isn't integer
    end,

[proper relic]

I'm being stupid, where is base chips and mult stored when a hand is first played?

[misty cape]

so do you mean that I coud use cards_1 as the Neon key instead? or what other keys would I use? Sorry I'm still learning the basics lol. Still can't even get the options in my config to stay toggled on when i reload let alone making the option work lol. unless they just wont stay toggled if the code doesn't work...

[faint yacht]

hand_chips and mult are globals.

[nova finch]

might just switch what the joker does ngl
any ideas for what this joker could do?

[proper relic]

Thank you!

[onyx inlet]

Thriller?

[ionic verge]

Michael jackson song

[nova finch]

name of the album too

[ionic verge]

right, thanks

[sick sparrow]

and those variants are independant of balatro seeds, they are completely random

[tight thistle]

hello, i have a question, how do i loop a played hand to check for something? i was told to do so by someone in order to get my joker's effect working

[misty cape]

I also know that Balustro for example changes the Jokers right away, but there is also a toggleable option for using the NSFW Jokers that is applied through the config. However, combing through every lua in the mod, I can't find where it tells the game to use the "base" Balustro Jokers. I found the code for switching to the nsfw ones(BalustroJokers2.png) in the ui.lua but no mention of the BalustroJokers.png throughout the lua files. So not sure at all how that is implemented or I would use that for mine.

[onyx inlet]

“Kings only score in the (1) position. Position moves each time. Each time across this gains X2 mult.”

The idea being to have Mr Jackson sliding across your hands and giving you more mult.

[hushed briar]

how might i check the current score and score requirements of a blind, or otherwise check if a hand did not beat the blind?

[ionic verge]

would this loop through all jokers in your joker slots?

[proper relic]

Is it possible to see what a hands base values would have been when a hand is discarded?

[sick sparrow]

how to add cardarea to ui?

[nova finch]

how do i make a joker work like baseball card? i have something that sorata works but it also triggers when any joker of the rarity triggers instead of just triggering after everything is scored

[vagrant cedar]

Youre the guy that makes all the music jokers?

[nova finch]

yep

[faint yacht]

Didn't I mention the Simplified Joker yesterday?

if context.other_joker and context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == 1 and context.other_joker.ability.set == "Joker" then

[nova finch]

yeah thats what i have

[nova finch]

but it does this

[proper relic]

Figured this out. Does anyone know how to add chips or mult before cards are scored?

[vagrant cedar]

I stole your idea

[nova finch]

cool! i actually have an mbdtf joker too

[faint yacht]

Is this under context.joker_main? Is the particular Joker last in the lineup?

[nova finch]

not under joker_main, and what lineup?

[vagrant cedar]

does it do anything

[nova finch]

club cards become glass cards

[vagrant cedar]

mine just give chips depending on the year they came out

But they play the music

[nova finch]

all of my jokers have unique actions

[faint yacht]

Last Joker held, I meant.

[nova finch]

no, its the first

i found something strange though

it only happens when it's set to a custom rarity

as soon as i switch it back to one of the vanilla rarities it works completely fine

[misty cape]

Any ideas as to why options in my config won't stay on after reloading?

[sick sparrow]

how to create custom_collection_tabs?

[ionic verge]

when v gets assigned to a thing in G.jokers.cards, what gets assigned? the name? something else?

[runic pecan]

I think it’s the joker object itself.

[merry raven]

engine/sprite.lua:109: Shader uniform 'voronoi' does not exist.
A common error is to define but not use the variable.

Did I somehow import my shader incorrectly? I'm still getting this error, even with or without adding my mod's prefix to my SMODS.Edition's shader

I imported voronoi.lua in main with assert(SMODS.load_file("data/editions/voronoi.lua"))()

[ionic verge]

mhm, and how would i get the name from that?

[runic pecan]

v.name

[ionic verge]

cool

[flat ridge]

Does anyone have any idea on how to localize a language through steamodded or lovely?

[ionic verge]

i think i need to store the whole joker object, if i were to do that, would this if statement be able to call its name? (presuming i is the index of any joker in the array)

or would i put .name before [i]

so .name after the [i]?

cool

[versed swan]

What is the context for entering the shop? Or (how) can a Joker detect when you enter the shop?

[ancient ore]

what do wrong

[ancient ore]

bro said yse

[runic pecan]

No context does that.
I hooked up cash_out button instead in the old version of the joker I mentioned.

[versed swan]

ooh, okay, thank you

[ancient ore]

wait pause is "is_ace" not it

[ionic verge]

is there a way to tell if a joker is incompatible with blueprint? like a way to check if it is?

how about i say what my joker does

[runic pecan]

there’s a blueprint_compat mentioned in smods doc

[ancient ore]

If you mean in practice, i think you gotta just spawn both jokers and hope it doesnt crash

[ionic verge]

chooses a random joker each round, and copies it
cannot choose itself, brainstorm/blueprint, or any blueprint incompatible joker

so i need to find a way to find those incompatible jokers

[ancient ore]

Ohh

The Balatro Wiki has a list im pretty sure

dang thats more than I thought

[ionic verge]

well i want to work with other joker mods

[ancient ore]

Ohh true

[flat ridge]

dude literally answered you...

[ionic verge]

yeah i was gonna look into it

i just wanted the full problem stated

[ancient ore]

He was humoring my useless information

[ionic verge]

in case that answer would change if the whole problem was known

so can i call this like yadayada.jokerStorage[].blueprint_compat and itll tell me if its true or false?

like could i do this?

wait

like this?

[runic pecan]

Instead of bool_var == false,
why not not bool_var?

[ionic verge]

wasnt sure at first if or statements would mess that up

but thinking about it it shouldnt

i can only presume this works just fine?

[flat ridge]

Not saying code is wrong, but is there a reason you dont want it to copy blueprint or brainstorm?

[ionic verge]

blueprint leads to ambiguity

say you have two blueprints and they copy two different things

how do you know which joker my guy is copying?

and yeah brainstorm is fine, doesnt need to be there

[flat ridge]

why does that matter to the player?

[ionic verge]

just feels more fitting

[ionic verge]

cus i plan on telling the player what this is copying

by hovering over its desc

[flat ridge]

ah, gotcha. I figured it worked like blueprint where it calcs once you play hand

[ionic verge]

it sets it at the start of round

[proper relic]

I just wanted to show off the abomination of a solution I found to my issue. "If it works it works"

[flat ridge]

oh your using joker storage, I missed that

[ionic verge]

that way it can trigger with just about every relevant joker it can, including perkeo because it wont reset until the next round start

this is all happening during context.setting_blind

also quick sanity check, would a 'copy random joker each round' work as an uncommon, or should just cheap rare be better?

[ancient ore]

something is afoot with my usage of context.other_card

[versed swan]

oh, i guess i should be asking how to detect loading of items in shop

[faint yacht]

context.other_card:is_ace()

[ionic verge]

unfortunately doesnt seem like the case

[runic pecan]

G.shop_jokers and G.shop_boosters

[ancient ore]

new error

my fault

how do you format code on discord

[faint yacht]

```lua
code

[ancient ore]

        if context.discard and not context.other_card.debuff and context.other_card:is_face() then
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.money,
                colour = G.C.MONEY,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end,```

A

[flat ridge]

yeah that

[ancient ore]

Thanks

[runic pecan]

use calculate = function(self, card, context) instead

[ionic verge]

before i bury myself, inputting nil into this if statement wont cause a crash, right?

or any problems for that matter

[ancient ore]

thanks

what is it asking for inside those parentheses

[runic pecan]

nil will be treated as false

[ionic verge]

can i check for nil like 'if variable == nil' ?

[runic pecan]

maybe
I've never tried that

[flat ridge]

Im pretty sure not would be easier

[near laurel]

uhhh is this the channel to throw crash reports? I'm having issues with cryptid

[ionic verge]

like variable not nil?

[flat ridge]

not variable, but thats banking on the existence

it depends on your use case

[ionic verge]

probably to be raised in cryptid's forum post

in #1209506514763522108

[runic pecan]

Cryptid has a Discord server iirc

[near laurel]

oh i see

[ionic verge]

oh yeah it does, right

[runic pecan]

Can you rephrase your question again? I didn't comprehend that.

[ionic verge]

what im trying to do is remove any incompatible jokers in my list by replacing them with the joker in front of them (and then that joker in front of them, etc until it hits the end of the array) but thatll introduce a nil value at the end when something gets replaced, so im wondering if things will break when it reads a nil value

[ancient ore]

what am i supposed to be putting in those parentheses

Like generally not specifically here

Teach me to fish

[ionic verge]

and if so, how to prevent it

[orchid thunder]

Anyone know why this is crashing im trying t9 help this person

[runic pecan]

Just calculate = function(self, card, context) in general.
Like, most of mod devs/coders use that set of input variables.

[flat ridge]

look at the code for blueprint, it has a nil case handler

[ionic verge]

in which file?

card.lua?

[ancient ore]

Ok I see

Thanks

[flat ridge]

yeah

[ionic verge]

is this it?

[flat ridge]

yes

[ionic verge]

so its checking for...
if the blueprint card is greater than the length of G.jokers.cards (i.e. jokers in posession) plus one? aint that a little too late?

[flat ridge]

well you have to change blueprint to your context

[ionic verge]

or is it checking if the target of the blueprint

[flat ridge]

so youre checking the next card in the index, +1 every loop

this checks if the +1 puts you outside the index

if so then dont do anything

[ionic verge]

mhm

adding this i think should work

if i is greater than the length of the array, skip the whole rest of the if statement, preventing any of the other guys trying to read nil

[runic pecan]

I've been coding for this joker for the past two days yet still not getting the visual and effect I want.
I'm leaning to compromise by changing the pick & paint mechanic to a form that is easier to code.
Any suggestions?
("copy one and then paste on the other" part must stay)

[runic pecan]

Is the previous line for i = 1, #card... do?

[ionic verge]

ye

the current mess

[runic pecan]

Then why are you worrying about i > #card...Storage?

[ionic verge]

because it can shrink

but to my knowledge the for loop's size wont shrink with it

[runic pecan]

Can I see your joker's config?

[ionic verge]

(this loop will have the array shrink by moving all indexes [i] and rightward to the left one, eventually causing the last one to get replaced with nil)

[runic pecan]

Is jokerStorage... the jokers in the joker slot?

[glacial zinc]

for some reason none of my variables in config are applying when i try to add an edition? to clarify im using talisman but even with it disabled it still doesnt work

[queen crescent]

lets bump

[ionic verge]

yeah, and then i cull down the ones that are incompatible with this joker

(or would cause ambiguity problems)

[runic pecan]

Dude, you can use G.jokers instead!

[ionic verge]

and then ill use a random number to select one of the remaining ones to get rerolled

[ionic verge]

that would work?
cus i need to make sure the jokers are blueprint compatible

like thats required

i dont want the guy im making to choose a joker that doesnt do anything when copied

so i need to make a culled list for it to choose from

[runic pecan]

just local copied_joker = {} while not copied_joker.blueprint_compat do [randomly choose another i] copied_joker = G.jokers[i] end

[ionic verge]

and presumably also not [the other guys ive stated]

blueprint for ambiguity reasons, mimic joker (the joker im coding) for looping reasons, and brainstorm just because it feels fitting not being able to be copied

[ionic verge]

ok i need help understanding whats happening, what exactly is the while loop doing?

also is it ...this to do the code blocks?...

no

[runic pecan]

While the chosen joker is not blueprint-compat, choose another one.

[ionic verge]

oh

[queen crescent]

uh

[ionic verge]

that
is kinda easy huh

[versed swan]

I just went ahead and injected a custom Joker context that is sent to Jokers after the shop loads its Jokers, vouchers, and booster packs (function Game:update_shop(dt)):

#Add new Joker context: tiwmig_load_shop, primarily used by Generic Brand Joker
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = '''
                                end

                                G.CONTROLLER:snap_to({node = G.shop:get_UIE_by_ID('next_round_button')})
'''
position = "before"
payload = '''
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    G.jokers.cards[i]:calculate_joker({tiwmig_load_shop = true})
end
'''
match_indent = true

[ionic verge]

does that joker make things cheaper?

cus if so nice

[versed swan]

yeah, Generic Brand Joker - All shop prices are 30% off

[ionic verge]

nice

[versed swan]

it specifically has to be 30% or the joke won't work

[runic pecan]

There's one time I looked into the math.random_integer() source code in python, and it basically does:

1. how many digits in binary is the given cap?
2. generate as many random 0 or 1 as the digits from step 1
3. if the number from step 2 is bigger than cap, back to step 2, else return the generated number

[ionic verge]

i presume that pseudorandom() creates a float between 0 and 1?

ok

[versed swan]

Here's a video of the Joker, thanks again yall for the help

[ionic verge]

niiice

[runic pecan]

Is that so?
The joker I mentioned to you earlier can make it either free or doubled.
Just v.cost = 0 or v.cost = v.cost * 2
Oh you say "The joke" not "The joker"

[versed swan]

I was just kidding, the joke is that it's been reported a couple of times now that No Name products are around 30% cheaper than branded versions of the same products

(No Name is a Canadian generic brand)

[queen crescent]

already tried the following:

• get rid of the pools local, game references it anyway
• assign the joker to a preset rarity (common in this case), boots up fine (desired effect is to use the custom rarity)

[ionic verge]

so this will...
create a nil value in copied_joker
send that to the while loop
select a random jonkler
if that jonkler isnt bluecompat, do it again, repeat until yes?

whats with the empty array anyways?

[runic pecan]

It has to start somewhere

[ionic verge]

fair

does it need to be empty?

i guess thats the part im hung up on

[runic pecan]

You can also start from a random i

[ionic verge]

mhm

if its empty will .blueprint_compat just return false?

[runic pecan]

And I suggest *(#G.jokers + 1)

[ionic verge]

sending it into the loop?

[ionic verge]

the reason i did +1 afterwards was because i didnt want it to roll zero, which to my knowledge wouldnt go towards any array index

cus it starts at index 1, right?

aint that the lua thing?

[runic pecan]

Why would there be zero joker in the joker slot,
if this joker is doing calculation in the joker slot?

[ionic verge]

im confused
im trying to make the random number not roll zero, which it can if i divide that random number without adding one

if it chooses a number between zero and one, then gets multiplied by # jokers, it can be between 0 and # jokers -1

[runic pecan]

Then *(#G.jokers + 1) would be wrong.
My bad.

[ionic verge]

s'all good

[misty cape]

still trying to figure out my config issues if anyone has a moment to look at it. im stumped at this point :/ i have tried changing things around but I dont know enough. this may be beyond my scope lol https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1328320443693662311

[runic pecan]

local random_index = 1
while not copied_joker.blueprint_compat do 
    random_index = math.random(1,#G.joker)
    copied_joker = G.jokers[random_index]
end```

[ionic verge]

huh

[runic pecan]

Try () them all

[ionic verge]

thanks

[runic pecan]

Sorry

local random_index = 1
while not copied_joker.blueprint_compat do 
    random_index = math.random(1,#G.jokers.cards)
    copied_joker = G.jokers.cards[random_index]
end```

It's G.jokers.cards, not just G.jokers

[random sleet]

#G.jokers.cards not #G.joker.cards

copied_joker should also look at G.jokers.cards[random_index]

[ionic verge]

im tired im gonna finish this tommorow

hey! i currently have my mod folder setup like this. i cannot seem to get this mod working, and couldnt get card sleeves either. do i have the setup done incorrectly?

[limpid flint]

[runic pecan]

Where do I look up the hexcode for the suits?
nvm, found it.

[wispy rose]

[wispy rose]

any idea on how to resolve this? it also happens to JokerSellValue. I tried placing js_utils (the API) in the mod folders and the main directory, but im still getting this error

[stray warren]

What version of Steamodded are you on? It looks old based on this log file

[wispy rose]

it may be. i just got r2modman to install it correctly, then moved it over to my base %appdata% files so it just launches when i open from steam

im on 0.9.8

[shell timber]

r2modman/thunderstore's version is really out of date

[stray warren]

Yeah, I think r2modman downloads from the releaees

[stray warren]

You need to get it from the green CODE Button on the main repo

[wispy rose]

this version correct?

[stray warren]

Yup

[wispy rose]

yay

ill try the mods again

looks good

ty!!!

[candid epoch]

oke, so 1/8 consumables done
all i need to know now is how to make:
cards gain perma chips/mult/xmult
cards getting coppied/destroyed

[plain wyvern]

Can you have a modded suit only ever have certain ranks?

[civic totem]

ok so half way through the tutorial I had the random thought of trying to change the card sprites, but I'm not sure how to find where the sprites are stored (I assume in the exe), is there any good resources to look at for editing card sprites?

[candid epoch]

change the card sprites...? you mean texture pack?

[frosty dock]

I'd recommend making a texture pack with https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1300851004186820690

[civic totem]

thank you!

[violet void]

Would you guys consider this too broken? (1 in 5 originally)

[civic totem]

no

[candid epoch]

not too broken
but i dunno why you need the grey lines

[civic totem]

remove the limit (don't actually take my advice I just beat tutorial)

[crisp coral]

so uhm. you know how Blueprint is a Rare

[candid epoch]

we talking just effect, not rarity lmao

[violet void]

I accept rarity suggestions too its fine

[crisp coral]

even not considering rarity this is. 3 retrigs a bit over 50% of the time

[violet void]

50% of the time?

[candid epoch]

4 in 5 is 80% of the time

[crisp coral]

oh wait you have two dice

LMAO

[violet void]

Yes sorry ç-ç

[candid epoch]

oh yeah, then it would be 2 in 5

[crisp coral]

if so 1 in 5 is fine imo

[candid epoch]

40%

[candid epoch]

anyway, can someone tell me about these?

[violet void]

Which ones?

I don't understand which grey lines you're referring to at all

[candid epoch]

the {C:inactive}

luck altering jokers affect first retrigger only

[violet void]

If you have 2 dice it would give 3 retriggers too consistently

[candid epoch]

well, you dont need to have it
i think its obvious it would only alter its probability to triggering

[violet void]

Only the first 1 in 5 will be altered, the second and third retrigger will remain 1 in 5 regardless

[candid epoch]

also, where is anything about
highlighted:
in steammodded wiki?

[violet void]

Check Hiker's code

for this

cards gain perma chips/mult/xmult

[candid epoch]

oke, i got the destroying card code, so i have 2/8 consumables done

do i need all this shit? 😭

how do you "add to hand"

[zealous glen]

Not currently possible

[candid epoch]

wdym

[zealous glen]

Not without work anyways

[zealous glen]

Hiker exists so bonus chips exist

The rest don’t

[candid epoch]

so... my mod is a failure?

[zealous glen]

I don’t know what that means

I’m just saying it needs work to make it function

Elial and Autumn have their own implementation of it

[tall wharf]

i think there's a function called emplace

[zealous glen]

I was talking to Lars to add to Steamodded

[zealous glen]

Yes for putting cards in the correct place

[candid epoch]

so xmult and mult cant be bonus added to a card?

guess i have to rethink my mod

[tall wharf]

i mean

no one is stopping you from adding custom bonuses

[candid epoch]

if i knew how

its my first mod that isnt a texture pack

[violet void]

You can make your own way 😁

If you really wanted to, anyways

[violet void]

You would need to implement the logic with lovely patches probably

[candid epoch]

if i had logic in my brain first lmao

[zealous glen]

Yes I said so

I was just saying you can’t just look at Hiker and do it for Mult and xMult

[zealous glen]

@tepid crow

the people yearn for the mult hiker

[violet void]

I mostly said that so that they can see how it's done for Chips and apply it to the others
-# But I suppose that was assuming they knew no vanilla joker adds permanent Mult or XMult to cards

[tepid crow]

Truly

[long sun]

thoughts on this ability?
Goldor (Legendary): Played Gold cards each give X3 Mult when scored

i'm unsure about the number, because it's more inconsistent to get a deck of Gold cards than it is to get a deck of Kings

Incredible synergy with Midas Mask

[long sun]

is that positive or negative? :D

[violet void]

Depends if you're aiming for a balanced mod

[long sun]

i am aiming for that

thinking over it, i'm gonna change it to X2

ooh maybe i could also give $1, to make making Gold cards slightly easier :D

[violet void]

I feel thats better too, Midas Mask turns face cards into gold and with Pareidolia you can abuse it a lot, but that's 2 specific cards so...

[long sun]

fair!

[runic pecan]

Maybe even lower, since it'd be just Glass cards without breaking.

it is a legendary, though

[night pagoda]

Is it possible to have enhancement score after the effect of the seal? Using context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring and not context.repetition, but noticed that the red seal happens after my custom effect happens, and wondering if it's possible to time it differently

[haughty kiln]

I think x2 or x2.5 is fine. Compare it to Triboulet; I think it's much easier to fill your deck with face cards rather than gold cards, so 2-2.5x mult isn't too crazy imo

[runic pecan]

According to function eval_card in functions/common_events.lua,
the answer is no... unless you make a patch.

[long sun]

quick code question! how would i go about returning both Xmult and money? (i'm guessing with events, though i'm unclear on how)

if context.individual and context.cardarea = G.play and context.other_card.ability.name == 'Gold Card' then
        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + self.ability.extra
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = (function() G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0; return true end)}))
        return {
            dollars = self.ability.extra,
            card = self
        }
    
        return {
            x_mult = self.ability.extra,
            colour = G.C.RED,
            card = self
        }
        
    end```

also ignore the broken code in the returns ^^

[runic pecan]

I'd suggest

    dollars = self.ability.extra.dollars,
    x_mult = self.ability.extra.xmult,
    colour = G.C.RED,
    card = self
}```

[haughty kiln]

anybody got any recommendations for lua learning resources in order to create balatro mods?

[long sun]

ah kay, thanks! :D

[runic pecan]

The method I've been doing is just to stare at the game's source code (sometimes at other mods' source code) until it makes sense.

[runic pecan]

The reason I can do this is because I have years of experience in other languages. If your goal is just make a Balatro mod then... yeah, I don't have any better ones.

[haughty kiln]

I didn't know if there were any guides tailored toward balatro (I haven't found any). I have some basic knowledge of C/C++ and Python. Perhaps there is a more general lua guide that I can use to better understand the syntax?

[violet void]

This might be helpful

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1307744498360520805

[faint yacht]

But if you need general Lua information, https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html could be of help.

[zealous glen]

There's the Steamodded wiki

[haughty kiln]

Thanks all! ❤️

[zealous glen]

Check the Your First Joker(? Mod?) part

do any mods use the quantum Enhancement tech already

[night pagoda]

Is there a context for retriggers? context.repetition seems to be always false even after red seal

[long sun]

had another idea!
Famalia (Legendary): When Blind is selected, create a copy of The Familiar (Must have room)

[haughty kiln]

like, the spectral card that eats 1 and spits out 3 enhanced face cards? I'm not sure I would be happy seeing that result from the soul, I'm pretty low on familiar

[long sun]

mhm, that card :D

since it creates the card when the Blind is selected, it lets you forge a Five of a Kind or similar

[haughty kiln]

maybe it could create a small spectral pack on blind select?

[long sun]

myeh, then it's not The Familiar ^^

[wintry solar]

Playing cards or jokers?

[night pagoda]

Playing cards

[long sun]

butttt, maybe something to do with face cards?

ooh idea

[haughty kiln]

true, I think that face cards have enough rep in legendaries between canio and triboulet though

[wintry solar]

Should be context.repetition

[night pagoda]

always false here

even after red seal

[long sun]

All played face cards become Polychrome when played and scored

which now strikes me as a worse Trib

[zealous glen]

Isn't repetition before and separate from main_scoring?

[long sun]

unless Paradolia?

[violet void]

But they keep the effect even after you sell the card

[haughty kiln]

yes and no, polychrome lasts after you sell the joker

jinx

[long sun]

aha, great minds think alike :}

[wintry solar]

Yeah, main scoring is different to repetition

[long sun]

i'll have a think about it in my next lecture

cheerio!

[night pagoda]

Anything I can do here?

[zealous glen]

Not check for main_scoring?

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[zealous glen]

I don't think there's a way to tell a scoring was due to repetition it if it was natural

[night pagoda]

I have an enhancement that adds it's own retriggers (using manual card evaluation), but I don't want it to be retriggered by the red seal

[zealous glen]

I'd have thought that retriggers don't retrigger retriggers

[wintry solar]

They don’t

[violet void]

not context.repetition_only perhaps

[wintry solar]

Without seeing how firch is applying the repetitions it’s hard to recommend something

[night pagoda]

I'm using the code aure provided yesterday to manually re-score any card

the retrigger doesn't happen on the same card that is triggered so I use that

this is basically piece of another code modified to work as a function

[wintry solar]

So you want the enhancement to rescore another card but not add multiple rescores?

[night pagoda]

The enhancement needs to rescore some cards but always do it fixed amount of times, without being affected by the external retriggers

[wintry solar]

Can’t you just remove the repetition calculations in your rescore function then?

[night pagoda]

If I rescore the card it still should be retriggered by the red seal, it's just it shouldn't apply it's enhancement effect anymore

[wintry solar]

Oh right I get it

[night pagoda]

Here's what I did so far (and it works fine here)

[wintry solar]

Set a flag the first time it scores and check for the flags presence

Then reset the flag in end of round

[night pagoda]

For the card? I pass an additional context for if the enhancement scored already and check for that

Or you mean to the card itself?

[sick sparrow]

Enhancement is just a center in disguise

so, anyone made a joker 4 of hearts?

[quick patrol]

So I’m trying to make the mult hiker and I have the effect functional (as in each card is gaining its appropriate amount of mult and maintaining that across iterations) but how do you change the playing card tooltip to show the extra mult? Like I don’t even know where that’s initialized at in the base game code to start so much as tinkering with.

[frosty dock]

btw.. https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/tree/cardareas once I merge this we just provide SMODS.score_card

[night pagoda]

awesome! Will it be possible to pass additional contexts?

[worthy stirrup]

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

[sick sparrow]

so look at my hands, what do you see?

[frosty dock]

it adds context.main_scoring or individual as needed, hopefully soon with Lovely 0.7.0 it'll be possible to lovely patch into the function too to add more calls if that's what you mean

[sick sparrow]

so you can put enhancements into G.Jokers or G.Consumeables

[worthy stirrup]

would it be G.play:play()

i feel like im doing it wrong

[night pagoda]

I mean so I could pass a context to have a context for specific rescore reason for example
something something SMODS.score_card(card, {is_rescored_by_my_enhancement = true})

[night pagoda]

I currently do that in my function

[long sun]

how does this ability sound?
Famalia (Legendary): When Blind is selected, add a King with a Purple Seal to your hand

[zealous glen]

can we have a SMODS.score_hand 🤔

[frosty dock]

you can pass any context you want

[frosty dock]

It's called SMODS.calculate_main_scoring because it does more than just score hands, it works for any cardarea

[zealous glen]

Does it do the entire evaluate_play sequence or just the scoring part?

[frosty dock]

it just scores each card in the scoring hand or card area with the given context

which amounts to some debuff checks in the G.play case as well as calling score_card on each card

[dusk garnet]

asking this again

can't seem to figure it out

[sick sparrow]

SMODS.calculate_main_scoring(cardarea)?

[frosty dock]

I don't think we added that in better calc, you'd have to use lovely patches to add it

[worthy stirrup]

?

[frosty dock]

it takes a context and uses context.cardarea

[dusk garnet]

hmm okay

so would i then insert a calculation after this code

for i = 1, #G.GAME.tags do
                                            G.GAME.tags[i]:apply_to_run({type = 'shop_final_pass'})
                                        end

[long sun]

(bump)

[runic pecan]

That... is oddly specific. (it'd be more odd if even which suit is specified)

[sick sparrow]

where is the wiki page

[long sun]

true ^^

[dusk garnet]

is there a way to search for this code without using regex (i.e. how does lovely handle newlines? i can't seem to find documentation or examples on this)

[frosty dock]

last I checked coding the feature comes before documenting this. It's not even merged yet

[frosty dock]

you can use multiline pattern patches

[dusk garnet]

is there an example of this somewhere

[sick sparrow]

what does it return? best hand? something?

[candid epoch]

man... why i cant think of a good concept for a mod

[dusk garnet]

ahh i foudn it

searched through smods for it

it's a regex match unfortunately but it'll do for now ig

[candid epoch]

guys, you got any ideas what i can try to make for a mod?

[violet void]

That sounds useful

Not sure about legendary-like tho

[long sun]

fair ^^

ooh to fit with the vibe, what if they have editions?

[violet void]

Although maybe it is already good enough, eventually you end up with lots of kings and cool tarots

[weary jungle]

auto poly glass generator

🔥

[long sun]

fair! okay, i'll test it as it is now, and let you know how i feel

[weary jungle]

i have to do localizations now

like 20 things

ugh

[sand oasis]

Anyone know where the code for The Tower tarot is stored? I'm not finding it anywhere

someone said tarots were handled in card.lua but searching for "tower" nets me nothing

[merry raven]

How do you guys do round-changing messages like this Joker here?

[weary jungle]

localization

[long sun]

can't find this elsewhere, but how do i create a card with an edition?

[weary jungle]

probably create_card

[weary jungle]

use a #1# in place of what you want to be changing, then use a loc_vars to pass whatever you want in variables

"this is a #1#"

in the joker
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {vars = {variable that changes}}
end,

[night pagoda]

Is it possible to apply enhancement effects after retriggers caused by the red seal (or after every other effect individual card could have)? I tried putting enhancement evaluation for my enhancement after the seal evaluation in the eval_card(), but it seems like retriggers still happen after the enhancement effect

[sand oasis]

I recommend checking out the SMODS example .lua for a bunch of Jokers and looking at Castle, which deals with the same thing except for ranks https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[upper fern]

Would anyone happen to have an example of how to use calculate_effect in practice?

[candid epoch]

-# SMOD EXAMPLES ARE VERY MUCH FUCKING OUTDATED

[sand oasis]

whoops!

[candid epoch]

6 months old atleast

[sand oasis]

YOWZA

[candid epoch]

i learned that the hardway

while trying to make seal consumable

[crisp coral]

examplejokers isn't that outdated

it's just not updated for bettercalc yet

you might be referring to the documentation?

[candid epoch]

nah, examples

[merry raven]

What's the context for checking what hand type is played?

is it next(context.poker_hands["Hand Type"]))?

[candid epoch]

bump for @crisp coral

[weary jungle]

context.scoring_name?

[merry raven]

Nope I just dug through the source code more, it indeed is context.poker_hands

(next(context.poker_hands['Two Pair'])

[candid epoch]

TGTM, you one of people that helped me most of the mod
do you have ideas what to make? cuz potions kinda failed

[crisp coral]

okay you're just confused then, there are two example mods, ExampleJokersMod (the one they referred to) and SealExample (the outdated one you're referring to)

[candid epoch]

ah, mb then

[runic pecan]

[Asking for help]
Just found out a patch I made awhile ago is, in fact, not working at all.

It's meant to replace this

[weary jungle]

what happened to the potions?

[candid epoch]

how do some people make custom slot in cards?
(like someone made gemstone slots)

[candid epoch]

cant add perma boosts to card for Mult and xMult
without doing complex shit apparently

[weary jungle]

its a learning experience

[candid epoch]

atleast i done the destroying card consumable without needing help ironicly

[weary jungle]

This a good learning experience for patches!! Everyone loves patches!!!

[wicked leaf]

new suit of playing cards for my mod

[candid epoch]

i dont know how to even do patches, and i am scared to try

[candid epoch]

mahjong

[wicked leaf]

yep

[violet void]

It's simpler than it looks, it was intuitive for me

[candid epoch]

i dont know
i am scared of hours of learning just to make one thing

[violet void]

Fair enough

[runic pecan]

But you made your mod, didn't you?

[candid epoch]

not finished
its less than 30%

[runic pecan]

Fair enough.

[quick patrol]

I started looking into patches and was a bit confused on exactly what they do. They just insert code into the base game files? Do they need to go into any special folder or something?

[violet void]

They add code you define either before, after or at the target line of code you define

Do they need to go into any special folder or something?
You just need to create a lovely.toml with the patches

So you have a lot of liberty

[elder vapor]

i added perma x_mult, perma h_x_mult, perma p_dollars, and perma x_chips

in a few lovely patches

[candid epoch]

whats the thing about x_mult and h_x_mult?

[crisp coral]

latter triggers in hand

[elder vapor]

x mult (when played)
h x mult (when held)

h_x_mult is what steel card uses

[violet void]

Also was wondering about that, cool to know

[elder vapor]

p_dollars is played dollars

like gold seal

[candid epoch]

and how you specify normal mult and multiplayer mult?

[elder vapor]

x_mult and mult iirc

perma mult isn't in the game but it can be added by a few lovely patches

[candid epoch]

could i... um... "borrow" that patch?

[long sun]

okay so i've tested Famalia as it is, and it's too weak

so i'd like to give the new kings editions

i'm using this line to create my cards:
local _card = create_playing_card({front = G.P_CARDS[_suit..'_K'], center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base}, G.hand, nil, nil, {G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced})

but, how do i add editions?

[crisp coral]

card:set_edition('edition_key')

[elder vapor]

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 1

# Add permanent boosts
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = 'perma_bonus = self.ability and self.ability.perma_bonus or 0,'
position = "after"
payload = '''
perma_mult = self.ability and self.ability.perma_mult or 0,
'''
match_indent = true

# Fix mult
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "return self.ability.mult"
position = "at"
payload = "return self.ability.mult + (self.ability.perma_mult or 0)"
match_indent = true

[candid epoch]

oke, so how do i apply this to the mod?

[elder vapor]

either create a lovely.toml file in your mod directory or make a .toml file inside YourMod/lovely

[long sun]

ah, cheers :D

[candid epoch]

like dis?

[long sun]

what are the edition keys?

[elder vapor]

if you want to apply the perma mult do card.ability.perma_mult = (card.ability.perma_mult or 0) + mod

[elder vapor]

yea

for displaying the perma mult in a ui... idk lol

[candid epoch]

i think i can use the mod for hidden values

[elder vapor]

true

[candid epoch]

so this theoricly will work?

[crisp coral]

three million config variables be upon ye

[wintry solar]

Learn to count myst thats only 9 🙃

[crisp coral]

98% of balatro devs can't count

[frosty dock]

I'm the other 3%

[elder vapor]

yeaa

[frosty dock]

and yes that's a rounding error

[elder vapor]

oh i noticed you're applying the mult to card and not _card

or highlighted

whichever one you're using

[candid epoch]

its a consumable, so what to do?

[elder vapor]

everything looks right

just apply the mult to the highlighted card

[candid epoch]

and also, how to make highlighted 2 or less but not 0?

[crisp coral]

you're a rounding error

[frosty dock]

no u

[candid epoch]

how exacly? just adding _ to card.ability.perma_mult?

[elder vapor]

return #G.hand.highlighted > 0 and #G.hand.highlighted <= card.ability.extra.max_highlighted i think

[elder vapor]

add an underscore before card, so _card.ability.perma_mult

also you don't need the highlighted local var since _card is the exact same thing

[candid epoch]

oke so it works
but the hidden card display mod doesnt

[weary jungle]

curse of the really long loc_vars!!

[candid epoch]

perma chips are as perma_chip or perma_chips

[elder vapor]

perma_chips

[tepid crow]

the people yearn for built-in perma bonusses

[wintry solar]

Are you still implementing it lars?

[tepid crow]

yeah me and victin were discussing what bonusses we wanted and what order we would apply them in

this is what we settled on

For jokers: Chips, Mult, xMult, end of round Dollars
For playing cards: Chips, Mult, xMult, Dollars, on held Chips, on held Mult, on held xMult, and end of round Dollars

For jokers perma-bonusses work in the order:
perma-chips -> perma-mult -> foil/holo -> joker_main -> perma-xmult -> polychrome

For playing cards perma-bonusses work in the order:
when scored: base effect + perma-bonusses -> enhancements -> seals -> editions
when held: perma-bonusses -> steel card -> [etc]

[candid epoch]

well, it does the animation but not actually gives chips

[elder vapor]

built in perma bonuses would be awesome

(also still asking for base xchips compat so i don't have to require talisman 🙏)

[candid epoch]

i love how at 8.12.2024 it been called useless
but now at 16.1.2025 its said that it kinda be awesome

[tepid crow]

your perma_chips aren't working?

[candid epoch]

it dont work, it only scores the base

_card.ability.perma_chips = (_card.ability.perma_chips or 0) + 12

[zealous glen]

xChips haters versus xChips enablers

[candid epoch]

i also have no clue why card value displays dont work for me

[tepid crow]

btw what lovely file would work best for it do you think @zealous glen? center.toml, playing_card.toml or entirely new file like perma_bonus.toml?

[zealous glen]

I think a new one unless we need to change the middle of calculation which is somewhere preexisting

[candid epoch]

oh @elder vapor, the thingy you gave me has nothing about chips

[weary jungle]

perma chips are in base game

right

[tepid crow]

yea

[tepid crow]

oh because it's perma_bonus

oop

[candid epoch]

oop

oke now it works

now i need to figure out why card value display dont work

[wintry solar]

I think a perma_bonus file would be best, i think most stuff would be limited to the card functions anyway right?

[tepid crow]

should be yeah

[candid epoch]

can a basic card have floating thingy like soul spectral card or legendary joker?

[zealous glen]

ish

[tepid crow]

probably, but you might need to put some work in yourself

[candid epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/yorgun-gif-21678719

[zealous glen]

technically every playing card does

except Stone

[vagrant cedar]

Is there something I can change to this to make the UIBox happen when scoring starts? Not after scoring, but directly as scoring starts

Instead of when entering a blind

Would it just be changing if context.setting_blind to if context.before ?

[weary jungle]

i have done localization hopefully probably

[storm kraken]

does anybody have any idea how to make music only play when you have a specific joker? (or with any conditional at this point)

[candid epoch]

people make specific music play on specific boss blinds

[vagrant cedar]

when changing this to if context.before
it starts when the scoring starts, but it doesn't actually fully work

[zealous glen]

jimball

from cryptid

I think

[vagrant cedar]

yeah I got you

[storm kraken]

doesnt
work

cryptid is cryptid

😭

[vagrant cedar]

Jimball is a little confusing but I just made some yesterday

So yes

I got you

[zealous glen]

some jimballs made by buddy

[crisp coral]

next(SMODS.find_card(key)) in your select_music_track

[vagrant cedar]

SMODS.Sound({
key = "music_1",
path = "1.ogg",
sync = false,
pitch = 1,
select_music_track = function()
return next(SMODS.find_card("j_MUSC_davidbyrne")) and 1.57e308
end,
})

Change MUSC to your prefix found in the json file, and the path to your filename

Make sure to change davidbyrne to the key of your specific Joker

That should work

[storm kraken]

i shall pay you nothing but my absolute gratitude

[vagrant cedar]

You put that after the Joker, not in it

[storm kraken]

it works yay

[vagrant cedar]

the 1.57e308 is how important it is to play first

[weary jungle]

oh yeah i forgot about colors

[vagrant cedar]

So if you have other jokers doing the same thing change their number at the end to change the order

[crisp coral]

mfw i am fighting against a boss blind with some epic theme and i pick up a jimball midblind

[vagrant cedar]

My music Jokers are better 😎

They play the full album of my top 4 albums

[wicked leaf]

can I somehow make a suit have only 3 ranks?

[candid epoch]

@elder vapor, how did you done new slots for stuff? (the gemstone thingy)

[elder vapor]

stickers

[frosty dock]

hey y'all where should card eval text for G.discard display? rn it's fully off the screen because... well, that's where the discard area is

[elder vapor]

they don't interfere with any other card modifier

[weary jungle]

we keeping it bare in here 🙏

[frosty dock]

it's kinda funny just having the screenshake without the message appearing

[worthy stirrup]

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

[weary jungle]

also thats supposed to say 20%

[wild patrol]

how can I get this to say +2 Slots

[elder vapor]

i was gonna say under the disard button but that could look weird

[zealous glen]

How do you envision it being used?

[candid epoch]

but then, dont like you cannot apply sticker to a gemstone?

and vice versa?

[vagrant cedar]

Consumable slots, joker slots?

[wild patrol]

Joker

[vagrant cedar]

Also does it actually do it already

[candid epoch]

nah, do it 1$ per 20 overkill

[vagrant cedar]

You just want the text to change?

@wild patrol

[wild patrol]

Yeah

I got the ability to work

[elder vapor]

stickers don't interfere with other stickers

[wild patrol]

I just can't figure this out

[frosty dock]

however one decides to use it? that's not really up to me-?

[candid epoch]

they dont?

[elder vapor]

which is why i use them

[vagrant cedar]

Does it ALSO give 4 mult?

[candid epoch]

how the fu-

[weary jungle]

it was supposed to be 5$ per 20%

[wild patrol]

it shouldn't

[elder vapor]

(vanilla can have eternal/perishale rental jokers)

[zealous glen]

I mean it helps having an use case in mind to make the decision

[wild patrol]

far as I know

[vagrant cedar]

DM rq

[zealous glen]

Maybe make it an invisible card where the deck and play area intersect?

[candid epoch]

then do % in there

[elder vapor]

but i had to code it so you can't have multiple gem slots lol

[candid epoch]

cuz per 20 looks like score

[weary jungle]

i forgot

[zealous glen]

you trace a line vertically from the deck

and one horizontally from the play area

and put it there

[candid epoch]

also, is there a way to make custom stone card?
(no suit or rank but has an effect)

[frosty dock]

hm that's not a bad idea

[weary jungle]

i might be ready to ship this off!!

[candid epoch]

that way i could do GemSteel cards

[frosty dock]

doesn't need an invisible card though

I can just align it above G.deck and use a vertical offset

[wintry solar]

Do ones on the deck display above the deck?

[frosty dock]

yes

[worthy stirrup]

How do i make it so I can forcefully play a hand with the code

[wintry solar]

Is there room below the deck in that case?

[weary jungle]

im so excited!! let me play a run with this

[frosty dock]

I don't think so ?

[candid epoch]

if people make suits for cards... is it possible to make null cards?
(rank exists but suit wont count to any flush or other stuff)

[weary jungle]

no_suit enhancement?

[candid epoch]

like, it can still be enchanted with other stuff

just as a suit for fun

[frosty dock]

you can hook Card:is_suit and have it return false for that suit (unless wild card or whatever)

[elder vapor]

could always hook the Card:is_suit function and return false

oh

[wintry solar]

I wonder if it would be worth displaying the discard area for this

[elder vapor]

[frosty dock]

maybe, but where

[elder vapor]

card faced up and greyed?

[candid epoch]

i just will need to learn how

[worthy stirrup]

please, what code is ran when the Play Hand button is pressed

[rapid trail]

New to modding, I'm having difficulty finding where to start (even within the documentation) on creating a new joker. Specifically,

1. Where do I place the new joker?
2. How do I define the joker?
3. How do I define the effects?

[wintry solar]

Let me find a ss to show how I see it

[zealous glen]

I reckon it's evaluate_play or something that calls evaluate_play

or the Steamodded override

[zealous glen]

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

[weary jungle]

hoopefully this isnt from me...

[rapid trail]

I've looked at that, that page is largely unclear

[worthy stirrup]

I would think evalute play would just find its score without truly playing it but idk tbh lol

[rapid trail]

Ah apologies, I foudn the example mods. That helps. Cheers!

[wintry solar]

Excuse terribly drawn image but I imagine like a randomly rotated pile of cards down here

It could go off the screen if needed

[weary jungle]

does this not work?

[zealous glen]

I'd prefer the discard pile above the deck, if it needs to be onscreen. But I wouldn't want it onscreen

not on Steamodded anyways

What are those Zodiacs on the corner anyways

oh Ortalab temporary effectss?

[worthy stirrup]

Okay, how can i check if a hand has anything selected

[zealous glen]

at which moment

[worthy stirrup]

when a keybind is pressed

[weary jungle]

#G.hand.highlighted ~= 0 probably

[worthy stirrup]

as it crashes when nothing is selected and the player asks to discard somethign

[elder vapor]

may i ask what those are on the top right? next to consumeables area

[ionic verge]

does anyone know what version of lua balatro runs off of

[zealous glen]

I think Ortalab Zodiacs

[ionic verge]

because im trying to do floor division and its not liking that, and i know its a lua 5.3 feature

[zealous glen]

I know it's a version before they added Euclidean/floor division

[ionic verge]

damn

[worthy stirrup]

Should this code work or am i failing to check something or overlooking something

SMODS.Keybind{
  key = 'PlayCards',
  key_pressed = '-',

    action = function(self)
        if G.hand and #G.hand.highlighted ~= 0 and G.hand.discards_left ~= 0 then
        G.hand:discard_cards_from_highlighted()
    end
  end
}

[candid epoch]

what ya guys think?

[ionic verge]

ok how would i cut the decimal off of a number

[zealous glen]

function fslashfslash(x, y)
  return x / y - (x % y) / y
end

[ionic verge]

siiiick

[elder vapor]

thanks

[ionic verge]

thanks

[wintry solar]

Yeah those are the ortalab zodiacs

[worthy stirrup]

i got this crash message when i had one card highlighted

[ionic verge]

so this should work for cutting of the decimal right?

[zealous glen]

yes

[ionic verge]

cool thanks

[zealous glen]

but you could also use math.floor at that point

[ionic verge]

is math avaliable to me?

wasnt sure

[zealous glen]

ye

you can see thunk uses it

[elder vapor]

gonna start work on an sts themed mod and try to add relics

[ionic verge]

ok cool

so variable = math.floor(variable)?

[candid epoch]

actually, i think this looks better

[zealous glen]

I think that's a bit too busy

[candid epoch]

so i should go back to old one?

[zealous glen]

You can try something in-between

[ionic verge]

can while functions only take one condition or something?

[tall wharf]

@ionic verge

[ionic verge]

huh

what is it

[tall wharf]

you forgot logical operator

💀

[ionic verge]

...
gdi

[tall wharf]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Device_Interface

[zealous glen]

they forgor

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-i-forgot-i-forgor-gif-22449575

[tall wharf]

kirby and the forgor 💀 land

[zealous glen]

and here we are

[zealous glen]

[ionic verge]

game freeze
thats a first

[zealous glen]

when the Event doesn't return true

[ionic verge]

found out why

[zealous glen]

was it an Event

[ionic verge]

nope still freezes

[ionic verge]

i like this btw

[wild patrol]

I can not for the life of me to get the 4 to change to a 2 lmao

or get the multi to say slots

[elder vapor]

whats that one mod that adds a new card area

[ionic verge]

ok so
i am trying to select a random blueprint compatible (and also not a copy joker for a couple different reasons) joker at the start of a round, it however gets stuck in an infinite loop when i select blind

im trying to figure out why

[candid epoch]

i just got an idea for texture pack

[zealous glen]

there's already a built-in function to select a random element from a list

[ionic verge]

uh huh

[zealous glen]

so I'd build the list and select from it

[ionic verge]

i.e. use G.jokers?

[zealous glen]

no

are you selecting from the Jokers the player has?

[ionic verge]

yes

wait g.jokers.card right?

or whatever the fuck it is at this point

[zealous glen]

then iterate over G.jokers.cards to build a table with the Blueprint compatible Jokers

[ionic verge]

ok time to rewrite all my code for this again

gdi

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[ionic verge]

you gonna tell me it?

[tepid crow]

anyone know why my lovely says this when the dump implies this steamodded patch succeeded? (all other mods except steamodded disabled)
WARN - [♥] Regex '(?<indent>[\\t ]*)if G\\.F_NO_ACHIEVEMENTS then return end\\n[\\s\\S][\\s\\S]{16}--\\|LOCAL SETTINGS FILE' on target 'functions/common_events.lua' resulted in no matches

[tepid crow]

balatro has pseudorandom_element

[zealous glen]

I think it's pseudorandom_element

[ionic verge]

got it

so like pseudorandom_element(my array)?

[zealous glen]

I don't remember

[ionic verge]

thanks

[tepid crow]

go to functions/misc_functions.lua:253 and you can see the function

[ionic verge]

thanks

i should probably just keep this lua file on hand lol

[dry merlin]

how do i add a description to a challenge with smods.challenge?

[weary jungle]

🔥

[candid epoch]

the empty space will be used to be able to tell what enchatment it has

[tepid crow]

what description are you talking about?

challenges don't really have a description afaik

[candid epoch]

or i could do like this for better enchantment view

what you guys think? first one or second one design?

[dry merlin]

the like rules area

[tepid crow]

the custom rules?

[zealous glen]

I'm not sure any is clear

maybe try overlaying existing Enhancements

[dry merlin]

i think so?

[candid epoch]

thats not the point of texture pack

[dry merlin]

yes

[candid epoch]

plus, i cant overlay enchantments, they are BELOW the rank and suit

[weary jungle]

return G.hand and ((#G.hand.highlighted <= (TGTMConsumables.config.CursedRunes and card.ability.extra.CardAmt * 2) or card.ability.extra.CardAmt) and (#G.hand.highlighted ~= 0)) this is erroring, says its comparing boolean to number.

[dry merlin]

i dont exactly mean how to add custom rules, i mean how to add text to the custom rules section

[weary jungle]

this is peak coding

[tepid crow]

Ah yeah those. Doesn't https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Challenge explain that?

You can check https://github.com/SDM0/SDM_0-s-Stuff/blob/main/data/challenges.lua#L7 for an actual implementation example

[dry merlin]

i see now, it accepts challenge IDs and those IDs are what store the text

thanks

[ionic verge]

i think it works :]

[weary jungle]

im not sure why im erroring here, it seems like a smods issue but im not sure

is it due to new-calc

its probably because of new-calc

[violet void]

Try checking lovely dump

[weary jungle]

eits an error in steammodded

yeah its new calc

:(

[ionic verge]

ok how to i make a joker actually copy another joker once i have it's target

[weary jungle]

like duplicate?

[ionic verge]

i saw something about other_joker but do i need to assign it or something?

[weary jungle]

do a create_card

[candid epoch]

guys, any ideas for face cards?

[ionic verge]

no like blueprint

[weary jungle]

look at blueprint

[ionic verge]

yeah i did, but i dont know if im missing steps

like i see this, but do i need to set up other_joker or something?

[violet void]

Unrelated, but which editor do you use? Grids look so useful and I dont think mine has it

[ionic verge]

make the face guys geometric looking?

like all angles

[ionic verge]

looks like aseprite

[violet void]

Is it good?

[ionic verge]

very

$20 on steam or free on github with the caveat that you have to build it yourself

[violet void]

I went from GIMP to PixiEditor and now Aseprite, nice
-# Rip my layers...

[ionic verge]

but anyways
can i just do this and itll just work?

[violet void]

Idk haven't made a blueprint-like joker yet

Cryptid has one you can check, possibly

[ionic verge]

mhm

[candid epoch]

could also do that ig

[violet void]

It looks too similar to Ace imo, I would remove the middle gem

and add something else

[wicked leaf]

Heated card enhancement

[candid epoch]

then give the proposition thats steel/gem releated

[wicked leaf]

Givrs you a x2 mult, then unenhances itself

[wicked leaf]

looks pretty!

how will it look with modded suits though

[candid epoch]

i am not makeing modded suits
because i am not useing any

[wicked leaf]

yeah, but, are these like

enhancements?

[candid epoch]

nuh
just suits

[wicked leaf]

ah

[candid epoch]

i will show you later how they look like enchanted

[candid epoch]

how about for ace i will enlarge it?

[ionic verge]

ok where is this guy

theres like idk how many joker files in here

[vagrant cedar]

hey all

I've been trying to help @wild patrol

I got the Joker to work on my end

But he's still having trouble

[violet void]

Use search bar

[ionic verge]

its more like
which of these files is he in

[vagrant cedar]

this is his crash

[violet void]

You could have the characters hold gems instead of whatever they originally have

Or it would be confusing if you refer to them as "face cards" without a face

[weary jungle]

probably in miscJoker

because its a random joker

[wild patrol]

I tried downgrading the steammodded didn't work either

so not compatibilty issue

is there more to lovely than just the .dll file?

[ionic verge]

i found it

[wicked leaf]

where can I find the code for vanilla cards?

trying to find them in the exe but its very confusing

[ionic verge]

ok i dont know what the hell im doing

what the hell does this mean

[sand oasis]

he needs to download lovely

[vagrant cedar]

he has lovely

it even says the version in his crash

[sand oasis]

wow - oh wow, oops

[vagrant cedar]

yeah I'm lost

[wintry solar]

It doesn’t say the lovely version

[maiden river]

yeah I was about to say

[candid epoch]

womp womp

texture pack is a texture pack, i gonna do what i want lmao

[violet void]

Obviously, mine was a suggestion

[vagrant cedar]

wait what

it said 15.0 or something

LÖVE Version: 11.5.0

[maiden river]

that's love, not love_ly_

[vagrant cedar]

oh

so his lovely isn't working

[maiden river]

he probably didn't download lovely at all

[vagrant cedar]

When I asked if he had lovely he said "the version.dll thing? yeah"

[maiden river]

oh okay

[vagrant cedar]

He also said he got it fixed by changing his lua? Idk

[wild patrol]

I figured it out

it was the lua script

The extra message data at the bottom was crashing the game

calling for something that didn't exist no more

[vagrant cedar]

makes sense

[wild patrol]

Should mention on linux through proton so lol

thought maybe would have been proton for a second

[ionic verge]

what does this line mean

[wild patrol]

guess this is a good start for adding a yugioh card pack lol

guess now i need to learn how to add multiple cards in one script lol

[vagrant cedar]

you just put the next joker under it

don't change the atlas

[wild patrol]

ahh

[vagrant cedar]

I have some good examples of random stuff you can do

[wild patrol]

It works tested it

Can't go past 11 jokers cards with 3

[vagrant cedar]

Nice

[wild patrol]

selling them removes the slots

but lets u keep the extra cards

[vagrant cedar]

These are my 2 favorite that I've made

[wild patrol]

but u can't reuse those slots when selling extra cards

[cerulean rose]

world's biggest file download

[vagrant cedar]

season 1 alone is 1GB 😭

[wild patrol]

I wonder if it would be possible to code the 5 pieces of exodia into balatro lmao

instant win condition on bosses

or are we just restricted to what can be done in the vanilla game just with some minor tweaks to values

[hardy viper]

no restrictions

[versed swan]

Code injection can do crazy shit

[wild patrol]

If anyone is smart enough to code a script a that can trigger an auto win with 5 cards in the joker slot

I could easily slide in the exodia part of it

[cerulean rose]

i already did this lol

[wild patrol]

can I steal barrow ur code

[cerulean rose]

sure

[wild patrol]

nice

thanks

[cerulean rose]

[wild patrol]

i'll 100% credit not gonna take it and not give credit

[ionic verge]

does anyone know how to make a blueprint like joker actually copy things?

im at the point of copying other people's code not knowing what it does

[cerulean rose]

prolly just find the joker to its right and call its calculate function

[ionic verge]

and its still not working

hmm

[cerulean rose]

but remember to set context.blueprint

[ionic verge]

noted

for context im making a joker that copies a random compatible joker each round

but thats still important, the context thing

[cerulean rose]

joker centers have a blueprint_compat entry

[ionic verge]

ive got the 'select random joker' down

yeah

[ionic verge]

it makes a list of all compatible jokers, then selects a random one from that list

[wild patrol]

I just hope the injector gets fixed to where it doens't get flagged as malware

[cerulean rose]

i dont think thats really fixable as the way it works is fundamentally the same as a trojan virus

[wild patrol]

The leathal company injector works nearly identically so I don't see why it couldn't

[cerulean rose]

[wild patrol]

just a matter of getting the signature whitelisted

[ionic verge]

how do i put the fact this is context.blueprint through this?

[cerulean rose]

before calling the calculate function do context.blueprint = true

[ionic verge]

got it

then disable after?

or what

will it do that automagically?

[wild patrol]

main reason having to keep the injector seperad from my main pc is I don't wanna risk any chance of a game injector flagging my tf2 games and vacing me lmao

I know sounds paranoid but I never wanna risk my steam account lol

[cerulean rose]

idk, maybe make a copy of the table first

[ionic verge]

huh

[wild patrol]

crtl + c

[ionic verge]

ok

[wild patrol]

is it possible to have a modded save an an unmodded save?

I don't want the steam cloud save i got get corrupted by mods

[storm kraken]

you could make a new save thats for mods only (ingame)

besides that idk

[ionic verge]

alright
i really dont know what to do at this point
i think other_joker isnt actually being assigned to anything, or to a nil value, which is causing the joker to not actually copy anything

so presumably my way of making a list of compatible jokers isnt working

[nocturne garnet]

you do realize that other_joker is renewed after every time the function is triggered right?

it wont save

[ionic verge]

oh

so... set it up in config?

[hardy viper]

heres your reason

[nocturne garnet]

i mean you can try i suppose

[ionic verge]

nope
