[ionic verge]

ok, how would i set it up to keep other_joker then?

or where would i set it up

[candid epoch]

can jokers detect if there are more jokers from the same mod?

[ionic verge]

youd probably have to add a way to detect it within each joker

[valid trench]

how can you edit the weight values of vanilla rarities

I can't seem to find where the weights are set at all

[ionic verge]

ok so whats up with cryptid's old blueprint setting it up the same way

[weary jungle]

probably loop through jokers and see which one is from your mod

[nocturne garnet]

difference is other_joker is always being set

[ionic verge]

mmm

[nocturne garnet]

unlike with your code where its only being set when blind is selected

[ionic verge]

ok

[wild patrol]

lol I found balatro's drm

it's so simple but funny

if it can't detect steam running it just closes lol

    --Steam integration
    if G.SOUND_MANAGER then G.SOUND_MANAGER.channel:push({type = 'stop'}) end
    if G.STEAM then G.STEAM:shutdown() end
end```

That's def indie game dev levels of drm

I love it

[tepid crow]

it's just the default steam drm + a love wrapper afaik

[wild patrol]

            love.event.quit()
        end```

it's in a line a code checking for steam

The game controllerdb.txt is funny to

has a list of random ass controllers

like the wii classic controller

even has support for street fighter joystick controllers

LOL

[ionic verge]

so real quick, if i set up local other_joker within an if statement itll stay in that if statement right?

just a sanity check

[tepid crow]

yes

[ionic verge]

ok

[tepid crow]

if true then
    local var = "defined"
    if true and true then
        -- var is still defined
    end
    -- var is still defined
end
-- var is no longer defined

[ionic verge]

yeah

[hidden timber]

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

[bitter sand]

hey guys, i'm wondering how do i change the reward of a blind ? (make it give more or less money)

[elder vapor]

does it install dependancies

[hidden timber]

wdym?

[valid trench]

can you just not edit the vanilla rarities using take_ownership like jokers and stuff

[elder vapor]

if you install a mod that has dependancies, does the mod manager download said dependancies

(ex. talisman)

[dreamy thunder]

i just changed how my card works

[hidden timber]

Oh, no. Currently that only counts for steamodded. But you can add a big sign in the description and I think it's clear then

@elder vapor Btw your mod is already on the mod manager I think

[candid epoch]

skyline, will i be able to add later when i am done with mod that i be happy about?

also @elder vapor, so many stickers can be applied to one card?
if so, how do they look like stacked?
like, what sticker has priority to be placed ontop

[tired marsh]

Does anyone have a recommendation for where I can learn more about modding balatro? I'm currently running through the Lua documentation, so any other pointers would be appreciated!

[elder vapor]

yeah i sent a PR yesterday, i'll have to update the mod description

[zealous glen]

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

[elder vapor]

for my mod i make it so you can only have 1 gemstone applied at a time

[hidden timber]

Any time you want!

[candid epoch]

alrighty thanks mate

[candid epoch]

i see

and you have seperated page for gemstones or they use the sticker ones?

[tired marsh]

Actually the goat for this

[maiden river]

published my mod

[valid trench]

Will I have to do Lovely stuff to change the rarity function for vanilla rarities or does SMOD have a function that can modify them I tried take_ownership but it doesn't seem to work on them, probably because the way they are coded, I assume you can edit the pool midgame because I've seen other modded jokers do it

[weary jungle]

Ok the release of my mod did not go so well

[nocturne garnet]

Releases happen to go that way yes

[weary jungle]

i dont know what happened here

i defined it!

i know i did

[tired marsh]

Is there a call stack somewhere

Oh duh

Lmao

[nocturne garnet]

do you have ur assets and shader shit

[tired marsh]

Does that sprite exist

The one its saying isn't

[weary jungle]

eit works on my machine!!!

im crying

[topaz sun]

It was a faulty line of code in steamodded, but Eremel fixed it. Just use

    return {
        remove = true
    }
end```

[dreamy thunder]

i see

thank you

[raw geyser]

Is there a way to save a config from a mod?

[cinder elk]

chat how do i make a deck skin with deckskins lite; wanted to try it out

[candid epoch]

my texture pack finnaly compleated, yippie

[viscid bough]

anyone know how i could make a patch to save the last played consumable's key? i already have a variable made for it to be saved in, but im not sure how to do the patching stuff.

also is there a function for creating a card with its key?

[tired marsh]

What file are the vanilla jokers located in?

Not the sprites but the objects themselves

[frosty dock]

game.lua for data like cost, rarity, config values and whatnot, card.lua for the code for effects, localization folder for descriptions

[tired marsh]

So are specific functions also located in game.lua

[dreamy thunder]

how can i check if a voucher is used or not

[cedar stream]

Wdym

[dreamy thunder]

i have a a joker which spawns a custom consumable but i want it to work only after redeeming the set voucher

[candid epoch]

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN

[viscid bough]

.

[pulsar flower]

is the deck at the bottom right of the screen during normal play a Moveable object? how would i access a reference to it?

[pulsar flower]

i think you can hook Card:use_consumeable and set the variable right after it, without needing a lovely patch

[viscid bough]

hook?

[pulsar flower]

something like

[viscid bough]

huh. i had no idea this was a thing. I thought that could only be done with Game.init_game_object()

lemme try that

[sturdy compass]

It can be done with any function. That's the cool thing about hooks

[viscid bough]

i thought i knew alot about lua, but it seems theres alot of stuff i havent learned...

[sturdy compass]

dw this is something I learned recently too lol

[long sun]

hihi! i've had two ideas for Modern Art, and would like to see which one you guys prefer :D
(Common): +20 Mult if played hand contains exactly one distinct rank
(Uncommon): ×2 Mult if played hand contains exactly one distinct rank

[zealous glen]

You can do hooks in any language

[long sun]

ah wait, just realising that the condition is a more lenient Half Joker :P

[sturdy compass]

Speaking of hooks and stuff btw, has Steamodded/Lovely updated to allow patching into Steamodded yet?

[zealous glen]

what's one distinct rank

[long sun]

all the same rank

so eg. A, 5 5, 8 8 8 8

[zealous glen]

at most one rank then?

[long sun]

not quite

[pulsar flower]

i didn't think of that when i read "one distinct rank"

[long sun]

that implies you can only play a high card

[zealous glen]

not really

5OAK is one rank

[long sun]

one distinct rank, but there are five ranks there (just, they're all the same)

[zealous glen]

No there's one rank

[long sun]

there's five of the same rank, but one distinct rank

[viscid bough]

i think the second one is nice.

[zealous glen]

I think most people would interpret 5OAK as one rank

and get confused by "distinct"

and though think it needs two ranks

[candid epoch]

what is a "distict rank"?

[zealous glen]

What do you think it is?

[violet void]

Let's go full house

[sturdy compass]

Yeah that's where I'm getting lost too. The term "distinct rank" seems to not be well defined

[long sun]

okay i've found out that KTaNE terminology doesn't carry over to Balatro :>

[zealous glen]

What's that

[viscid bough]

is there a difference between Card.ability.name and the key of a card?

[long sun]

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, my primary mod outlet

okay i have a middleground

i'll be taking the second ability of the two

[sturdy compass]

Let's use the default Joker as an example. Its name is "Joker" and its key is j_joker

[zealous glen]

I think that looking at ranks, you look at the set of ranks, not a tuple

[viscid bough]

is the prefix j for joker?

[tepid eagle]

"if all played cards have the sane rank"

[long sun]

yep, that one :D

[sturdy compass]

Yes and that's the standard

[long sun]

(Uncommon): ×2 Mult if all played cards have the same rank

[violet void]

Looks fun for pairs

[long sun]

thanks ^^

[viscid bough]

i see. How can i access the key of a card? is it just a simple variable like Card.key?

[tepid eagle]

so would 9 9 9 9 7 not work since the 7 is a different rank that is being played but not scored?

[candid epoch]

oke
so.... what makes people take it over the 3 rares from vanilla?
Pair(x2), Thriple(x3), Quad(x4)

[violet void]

Depends if they check scoring_hand or g.play.cards

[tepid eagle]

well i'm asking for the intent

[long sun]

though again, it's a looser version of Half Joker, so i kind of want to change it a bit

[sturdy compass]

It's a bit more involved. You'd want Card.config.center.key

[long sun]

ooh i'll sit on Modern Art for a bit, because i have an idea for Sketch!

[long sun]

(Rare): All played, unscored cards give ×1.5 Mult

[violet void]

Does that only effect unscored cards? The comma looks confusing

[long sun]

mhm

[candid epoch]

the ones that dont score

example: playing high card with 5 cards, makes it trigger 4 times

[long sun]

does the ampersand fit?

the game doesn't use any, but it doesn't need any either

[zealous glen]

I don't think it needs it

[long sun]

hokai i'll revert

[urban veldt]

It's a rough first try, but does this look... decent enough?

[candid epoch]

i have no idea what i am looking at

but it does look good

[violet void]

"All played cards" is probably enough

[long sun]

ya, looks good!! though consider changing the fill colour of the text

[long sun]

no, but that would trigger on all cards

which is different, and broken :>

[candid epoch]

isnt xmult 7,5 too much?

[violet void]

Ah ok the wording confused me

All played + unscored cards seems to include both

[long sun]

ya, it works the same way that Green seal does

(speaking of which, lemme check how it words itself)

[zealous glen]

Green Seal?

[tepid eagle]

all played cards give x1.5 mult if not part of poker hand

[dreamy thunder]

^?

[tepid eagle]

does it include debuffed cards?

[zealous glen]

I think

Played cards that don't score give x!.5 Mult

[candid epoch]

no

[long sun]

hey i can answer the question myself :>

[candid epoch]

debuffed cards dont even count as unscored/scored
it just skips its calculation

[long sun]

but no, Jokers usually don't do anything with Debuffed cards

[violet void]

"Unscored cards give x1.5" works

[sturdy compass]

Ah I see we've devolved into lingustics

[candid epoch]

need to be faster :3

[tepid eagle]

all cards held in hand aren't scored

[long sun]

okay i found Cryptid's wording

played and unscoring

which is miles better ^^

[violet void]

C'mon 😆

[tepid eagle]

again, i'm asking for intent and not implementation

[long sun]

lemme rephrase it then :>

[dreamy thunder]

ping me if you know anything or i might not see it 🙏

[zealous glen]

Splash says "each played card" but doesn't count debuffed cards either

[candid epoch]

debuffed is a debuffed

[long sun]

(Rare): Unscoring played cards each give ×1.5 Mult

[candid epoch]

wont give effects

[violet void]

First card ever to have anti synergy with splash

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[long sun]

:D

[tepid eagle]

well the intent of splash might be different from the intent of a modded joker. again, i'm just asking a clarifying question to the person who is coming up with the concept

[long sun]

wave! debuffed cards don't count

in the same way that Triboulet doesn't see debuffed Kings

[tired marsh]

Is there a better rundown of what exactly the patchers job is and when I should be using it

[tepid eagle]

i did receive an answer to my query

[sturdy compass]

Its main use is to modify the source code at runtime

[tired marsh]

The one on the git is kinda weird to follow, and either I missed what I'm looking for or its not there

[sturdy compass]

So you specify a pattern to look for, where you want your code to go (before, after or at (to replace the pattern)), and what the new code will be

[tired marsh]

Got it

Also stupid question, which mod folder am I supposed to be working out of lol

[viscid bough]

Okay so i got some hooks that should be saving the used consumable to a variable (As long as its not a fool or revenant card)

local init_game_object_ref = Game.init_game_object
function Game:init_game_object()
    local ret = init_game_object_ref(self)
    ret.last_consumable = nil
    return ret
end

local use_consumeable_ref = Card.use_consumeable

Card.use_consumeable = function(self, area, copier)
    use_consumeable_ref(self)
    local card_key = self.config.center.key
    if card_key ~= "c_fool" and card_key ~= "rev_revenant" then
        G.GAME.last_consumable = card_key
    end
end

I think thats the right key names.
Now i gotta make my revenant card create a negative copy of this card using that key. anyone know how i can do this? This is what i have so far

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = "revenant",
    set = "Spectral",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Revenant",
        text = {
            "Creates a negative copy of {C:attention}1{} random",
            "{C:attention}joker{} card that has been destroyed"
        }
    },
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return G.GAME.last_consumable ~= nil
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        --Make negative copy of consumable with the key of G.GAME.last_consumable
    end
}

ignore the card description

[violet void]

You just create a lovely.toml in your mod folder

[sturdy compass]

The one you create within the big Mods folder

[tired marsh]

So the Steamodded one?

[sturdy compass]

No

The folder the Steamodded folder is in

[tired marsh]

The common one

[sturdy compass]

yeah

[tired marsh]

Got it

[sturdy compass]

👍

[frosty dock]

if G.GAME.last_consumable then
  SMODS.add_card({ area = G.consumeables, key = G.GAME.last_consumable, edition = 'e_negative' })
end

[tepid crow]

• I'm pretty sure that in lua setting a key to nil just removes the key from the table so the first hook isn't needed
• It looks like you forgot to give some arguments to use_consumeable_ref(self)?
• Aure just gave the code you asked for

[viscid bough]

ahh right. Ill remove that nil thing and put in the arguments

and the code seems to work right

except i think i might be using the wrong keys in the second hook

my card created another copy of itself

[long sun]

is there a context for cards that don't score?

[bitter sand]

hey guys i have a question, i want to change the blind reward to make it able to show negative dollars and i don't really know how to do that except using the collection_loc_vars function. can someone please help me with that ? thx

[violet void]

Don't think so, you can add your logic near Splash

[zealous glen]

does it not work by just putting negative dollars?

[long sun]

hmm, this seems hard to implement — i'm gonna change the ability slightly

[bitter sand]

it works, i get the negative dollars but it doesn't appear in the collection nor in game (i'm gonna take some screenshots)

[zealous glen]

yes

[long sun]

Gives X0.5 Mult for each played card that doesn't score

[viscid bough]

no idea why this isnt working, the key in the consumable is "revenant" and the mod prefix is "rev" and ive tried both "rev_revenant" and "revenant" by its self. anyone know why this is?

[zealous glen]

it's the same context for cards that score

the cards just aren't in the scoring hand

[long sun]

oh okay!

[bitter sand]

(took all the screenshots possible)

[violet void]

But for them to give x1.5 mult wouldn't they need to score?

[zealous glen]

see how Steamodded makes negative dollars show up at the end of round and adapt it

[zealous glen]

no

[bitter sand]

okay i'm gonna check that

[urban veldt]

"Gains X.01 Mult for each scored Diamond.
Currently X1 Mult
How would I fix this? Right now I have it if *all scored cards are Diamonds

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if not card.debuff then
-- Upgrade the Joker when hand is played
if context.before and not (context.individual or context.repetition) and not context.blueprint then
for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
if context.scoring_hand[i].ability.name ~= "Wild Card" then
if context.scoring_hand[i]:is_suit("Diamonds") then
return
end
end
end

[violet void]

Easy

#G.play.cards - #context.scoring_hand

[long sun]

yepyep! on it :D

[violet void]

But you could still try with the previous idea

[vocal verge]

Man, I do not miss seeing lua

[long sun]

i actually like this idea more ^^

it's like a weird Stencil

[viscid bough]

Anyone know how i can make a description similar to The Fool? with the little text that shows the name and then the description of that card on the side?

[vocal verge]

what's the bonus card enhancement called? is it just self.ability.bonus?

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/411

[viscid bough]

to add on to this question, i also want to know what color you use for negative text. oh and spectral and tarot card names colors

[zealous glen]

Yes

It’s all in loc_vars

[long sun]

weird bug, the xmult box appears, but does nothing and is blank

[zealous glen]

The wiki gives the signature

[long sun]

code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main and #G.play.cards > #context.scoring_hand then
      return {
        x_mult = 1 + (card.ability.extra.xmult * (#G.play.cards - #context.scoring_hand)),
        colour = G.C.RED,
        card = self
      }
    end
  end```

[zealous glen]

Probably the wrong variable name

xmult? Xmult? xmult_mod?

[zealous glen]

To have an info box with another object’s information you add the respective center to the end of the info_queue

[long sun]

config = { extra = { xmult = 1.5 } },

[zealous glen]

Not there

[zealous glen]

Here

[long sun]

also i forgot to change it to something else but ignore that :D

[violet void]

Xmult_mod or x_mult_mod

The game uses both it's confusing

[long sun]

weird. Ghost works fine with x_mult

[zealous glen]

x_mult = Xmult

moment

[long sun]

nevermind! i'm wrong :>

turns out it's Xmult_mod

but the weird thing is, Goldor works with it

[zealous glen]

To have something like the Fool you can assign to main_end

[long sun]

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

[dreamy thunder]

still need help here, dunno how to check for vouchers

[zealous glen]

And the color is dark_edition

[long sun]

alright so even stranger

[zealous glen]

@viscid bough

[long sun]

the xmult is being applied, but no message, still

oh i. i'm a moron :>

there's no message :>>>

[viscid bough]

ive got this:

loc_txt = {
        name = "Revenant",
        text = {
            "Creates a {C:dark_edition}negative{} copy",
            "of last played {C:attention}consumable{} card",
            "{S:0.5,C:tarot}The Fool{S:0.5} and {S:0.5,C:spectral}Revenant{S:0.5} excluded"
        }
    },

and it seems to be working except for the attempt at changing size. Also, when you said main_end did you mean the little text at the bottom that says None if nothing was used or the cards name if there was something used?

Im not sure how to set the text of main_end to be the name of the card if i only have the key

let alone make it red if nothing was used

[solar tide]

Hello someone know how can debug joker, like i want to print some values in console or something just for seeing, i talk about values of variables

[zealous glen]

s not S

[solar tide]

and i've an other question what is the difference about center and card

'cause at some places, i put card for card.ability.extra.(....) for exemple and other i need to put center

i dont understand why

thanks in advance

[zealous glen]

Center is like a prototype; card is the card you see in-game

[solar tide]

but in this example, i dont understand why they use card. and not center cause the value of repetition its on center

[zealous glen]

The card was prototyped with the center

So it has a copy of the data

[solar tide]

ohhhh okay, i understand better

[tepid crow]

this, but the way it's implemented makes it so much more confusing than it has to be

[solar tide]

and for debug, you know where and how i can print the variables values in the console

[long sun]

ooh new idea for Modern Art

[solar tide]

like i juste want to see if my code passed a if

[long sun]

Gives $5 if Blind is defeated in one Hand

[zealous glen]

an example

[tepid crow]

you can use sendDebugMessage etc, see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Logging

[viscid bough]

how can i add to the info_queue by getting the info from the consumable key?

[solar tide]

ty you helped me so much

[zealous glen]

something like this

[wooden nexus]

Okay, I got an odd question:

Let's say I have ModA with
local Test = --Code--
and i want ModB to reference that local variable. How do I do that?

[hallow forge]

that's the neat part

you don't

[wooden nexus]

crap

[hallow forge]

the entire point of local is to prevent that from happening

[wooden nexus]

well there goes my idea i had, scrapping it now

[vocal verge]

well at least it didn't crash
but idk if a bonus card is a good joker

[iron plover]

@tepid crow hola. so how would you go about adding those effects mid-game?

[tepid crow]

right so my first thought is to go through the list of backs currently in the game (I think G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Back works? double check if that works for modded decks), and randomly picking one of them

what you would then do is call that deck's :apply_to_run (or :apply in case of modded decks I think?), and store a copy of that deck's :trigger_effect so you can call it each time your deck's trigger_effect (I think it's calculate in new smods?) is called

make sure to store the decks you've "copied" in a table somewhere and you reload it with :load when the player continues the run

does that make any sense? 🤔

[iron plover]

yeah

[tepid crow]

actually you don't need that last part, just can store the key of the decks you've "copied" in your back's config.extra and then find them again using the list of backs currently in the game

no need for :load

good luck! let me know if you have something working? 😄

[vocal verge]

Reverse engineering is rough
but man, is it satisfying to get it working

[frosty dock]

reverse engineering?

[vocal verge]

Trying to figure out how it works

I haven't done lua in a while so i wanted to figure out how Midas Mask changes played cards before scoring

and if there's already a vanilla function to change enhancements and if it'll work for played hands

yeah i'm dumb, wiki does straight up outline how to do that

[frosty dock]

lmao nice job anyways

[vocal verge]

Is there anything special I need to do to make it appear in the shop? I assume yes

[zealous glen]

Make what appear in the shop

[vocal verge]

a modded joker

[zealous glen]

Not if you used Steamodded

[vocal verge]

sick

[viscid bough]

anyone got some ideas for what the art could be?

[dry merlin]

skull of some sort right?

[rocky heron]

some kind of grave, resurrection theme

[faint yacht]

...could take it literally and take a Doom I & II Revanant sprite, cyanotype it and then, after conforming the palette to the one spectral use, use a part of the result in there. Though, I did briefly imagine it being animated too. 😂

[vocal verge]

ultrakill skull

[vocal verge]

Tombstone with a hand coming out of it?

[silk compass]

@hidden timber i wanted to ask a question about installing mods using your mod manager, if a mod requires a dependency like DeckSkinsLite, how would it be installed? would I have to format my folders on github to look like this?
Mod_Name/DeckSkinsLite/assets/1x
(something similar with the skins folder as well)

[foggy carbon]

I'm looking in jokers.png but cannot find the Wee Joker. is it a special case? I wanted to make a few jokers that size

[vocal verge]

coded to be small it seems

[hidden timber]

Temporarly, just mention it in the description & you can also add the dependency to the mod manager too

[silk compass]

So would i have to include an installation guide?

guide is a better word

[hidden timber]

No, just say, that you need the DeckSkinsLite mod for the mod

[foggy carbon]

okay, but there's the official size. 0.7x of the normal size

[silk compass]

the thing is i would need to install the contents of my mod inside of the deckskinslite folder. is there anyway to automate that?

im guessing not at the moment

[frosty dock]

[hidden timber]

Oh I see, why would you do that?

[silk compass]

making it an easy install via the modmanager

so installing the mod would just put the assets in the asset folder and the lua file in the skins folder

[hidden timber]

No, I mean, why do you install the contents of the mod inside the deckskinslite folder?

Why not make a seperate mod?

[silk compass]

well my mod only changes one suit at the moment

and deckskinslite basically integrates the selection of skins via the already built in "customize deck" button

[frosty dock]

steamodded has that built in though, deck skins lite just wraps the steamodded api

[silk compass]

forgive me, im not really experienced in any of this lol

i kinda just started a texture pack for balatro because I love the game and really wanted to see a luigi's picture poker texture pack made

[gilded narwhal]

Hey so calculate doesn't accept args as a context how would I do the whole if args.context == "eval" thing with calculate

Would it just be like if eval

[faint yacht]

This is tags or deck effects?

[gilded narwhal]

deck effects

[faint yacht]

Deck effects should pass if args.context == "eval" just fine... Though, from what I can assume, in your case, it does not.

[gilded narwhal]

Yeah you need to do that for trigger_effect

Wait does trigger_effect still work or has it been like completely removed?

Because in the wiki it just says it's depreciated

Okay I just tried it seems to not work

[dusk shoal]

#1329607872891457566

[proper stratus]

WE HAVE A THREAAADDDDDD

WOOO

ITS REAL NOW

[dusk shoal]

-# (we have a thread)

[proper stratus]

EVERYONE CAN SEE IT

[dusk shoal]

-# (everyone)

[frosty dock]

trigger_effect should be replaced by calculate because under better calc, it functions like any calculate function. trigger_effect can still be used but has different arguments

it still gets passed the base game args that trigger_effect normally gets, when they happen

[gilded narwhal]

Gotcha

I don't think I need to use args anyway I can just use context.end_of_round

Okay one more quick q how can you tell what booster pack you skip

Like I wanna have a different effect if a mega pack is skipped

[cerulean rose]

doot

[foggy carbon]

how do I get the contents of the played hand? Not the scoring hand, the played hand?

[clever bear]

Shit wrong modding chat mb!

[cerulean rose]

context.full_hand

[foggy carbon]

is that without the #?

[cerulean rose]

# gets the number of keys in a table

[gilded narwhal]

This doesn't work

Here's the crash

[frosty dock]

SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER has the card of the booster pack iirc

[urban veldt]

Is there a mod template that just has, like, the files I need and stuff?

[sand oasis]

Not really. Each joker you make is going to end up being pretty much bespoke, but chances are they will fall in line with jokers that were either made examples of, or whose code is easily readable in the game's OG files. I've been told some examples are out of date but I will again point in the direction of the example mods for Steamodded, where at least the ExampleJokers mod helped me out. https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

trying to make a joker that finds the highest value card and turns it into a stone card and I really am not sure what to do here. I went after Raised Fist's code to model after, just filp it in reverse, and the iterative loop works but I have no idea how to iron out the second half of the card's function that actually turns the card into stone. "The Tower" tarot card has no documentation I could find. At the same time I've debugged this and "if raised_card == context.other_card" won't even run. Any pointers?

[frosty dock]

the code not running would be due to context.other_card not existing here

[sand oasis]

oh brother i had wondered

[frosty dock]

print('Final value of highest card: ', temp_ID)
if raised_card.debuff then
  return { ... } -- debuff return table, too lazy to type it out
end
print('Something will happen here')
raised_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_stone) -- there's some other code you may put around this for it to look nice, such as flipping the card. but that's not needed to get it working

[vocal verge]

i need to figure out card flipping, great idea

[sand oasis]

wow dude thank you so much

[frosty dock]

as for not finding anything about the tower, the code for using it indeed doesn't mention it by name

we could have some consumables in ModdedVanilla

[viscid bough]

ended up with this. Im not very good at this art stuff, but its good enough for now.

[foggy carbon]

okay, so now I have a card animating the flip over to show that it is promoting, but it only flips face down? It doesn't finish the animation to show that it's now a queen

[vocal verge]

repeat the flip afterwards?

[cerulean rose]

yes

[foggy carbon]

ahh

now I got it working.

[vocal verge]

king having affairs 😳

[vagrant cedar]

Is there a way to make a sound happen when a Joker is triggered?

Not constantly when you have the Joker

Just when it is used

[tight thistle]

i believe Cardsauce does that, so yes, but im not sure how

[vagrant cedar]

is cardsauce a joker or a mod

[tight thistle]

a mod

it has a joker that plays the wega scream when triggered

[vagrant cedar]

idk what that means

but do you happen to know which Joker it is

OH

Is it the Luigi looking one?

[tight thistle]

yes

its called "supper" in the files

[vocal verge]

wouldn't it just be putting the play sound command in the trigger part?

going off of seltzer

[sick sparrow]

is SMODS.Center directly creates center but not recommended to use?
if you are creating custom type of center, then it might be plausible to use

[vagrant cedar]

Why this bad boy crashing? The sound exists

[cerulean rose]

turn on show file extensions

[wintry brook]

im trying to set the enhancement for a card but not visually show it till later. I tried set_sprites but it does nothing. as a test i even tried straight up setting the center to a new sprite and it still looks like the enhancement, so theres probably something somewhere setting the centers sprite itself. any ideas?

[dusk shoal]

yall ever get a really absurd mod idea thats way too hard to make but still a fun idea ?

maybe not hard but .a task

[vagrant cedar]

idk how to do that but it's ogg

[vagrant cedar]

yes

I've been trying to get a gameboy emulator to run in Balatro

[dull saddle]

anyone up to do a quick art review? i think im overthinking it

[ionic verge]

i can!

[dull saddle]

trying to make this look like a lightbox

wait i forgot a layer or two one sec

my refernce

[ionic verge]

oh one of those

i like it!

looks pretty complete as is to me

[vagrant cedar]

yeah that looks really good

[vagrant cedar]

anybody able to help me with this? still not figured it out

[dull saddle]

im basically gonna make a hearts/diamonds vers of blackboard for my suit based pack

[ionic verge]

gotta make it 3x chips

for the funny

or more if you dont think its comparable

[cerulean rose]

twelve souls and ortalab have both already done this

[dusk shoal]

jesus good luck

[nova finch]

is there a way to check if the most played hand is discarded?

[dusk shoal]

not specifically, but you can check which played hand is discarded (burnt joker) and also check what the most played hand is

[sick sparrow]

how to access card.ability.extra while the game loads from saved run?

[nova finch]

also, how do i see the code of vanilla jokers? I keep seeing people say you're able to but I never know where to look

[cerulean rose]

extract balatro.exe as a zip

[random sleet]

has anyone else had the problem where text added to playing card descriptions doesnt work on specifically modded enhancements?

im trying to modernize my old code for various things and the permamult and suit level tooltips both fail to apply to the description if it is a modded enhancement; cards without enhancements and those with vanilla enhancements are fine

ive been trying to read through the related code as for why modded enhancements are treated separately for this and i just cant find it and its driving me nuts aaa

[karmic kelp]

Does anybody have any ideas as to why these atlases aren't loading, and my jokers are instead appearing as Joker? (the coloration just means if they've been added to git or not, ignore it)

[elder vapor]

how come its highlighted red in 2x

[karmic kelp]

because I haven't added it to my git repository yet

[elder vapor]

ah

oh i didn't read the second part of the sentence 😭

[sick sparrow]

how to access card.ability.extra while the game loads from saved run?

[elder vapor]

check the content of the 2x images

[wintry brook]

you may need to register them with :register()

[karmic kelp]

the functional atlases I have in another file use the period so

[elder vapor]

:register() is deprecated, no?

[wintry brook]

also, the syntaxc is
SMODS.Atlas({ stuff })

[elder vapor]

(yes but no, you don't need the brackets)

[karmic kelp]

something something implied call if only argument is table?

[cerulean rose]

yes

[karmic kelp]

and yeah the 2x file is just an upscaled version of the 1x file

[cerulean rose]

is your joker set to the atlas

[elder vapor]

oh do you know if the atlases are being properly registered?

[karmic kelp]

I have no idea how to check

[sick sparrow]

how to access card.ability.extra while the game loads from saved run?

[viscid bough]

ive got a joker thats supposed to have a 1 in 4 chance to duplicate consumables on use, but nothing is happening when i use cosumables. No message shows up or anything.

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "recycle",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Recycle",
        text = {
            "{C:green}#1# in #2#{} for {C:attention}consumables{}",
            "to be duplicated on use"
        }
    },
    config = { extra = { odds = 4 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1, card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    blueprint_compat = false,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.using_consumable then
            if pseudorandom("reduce reuse recycle") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                SMODS.add_card({ area = G.consumeables, key = context.consumable.config.center.key })
                return {
                    message = "RECYCLED!",
                    colour = G.C.GREEN
                }
            else
                return {
                    message = "TRASH!",
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

[karmic kelp]

think so yea

[elder vapor]

card.ability.extra? it shouldn't be any different

[sick sparrow]

    load = function(self, card, card_table, other_card)
        card.ability.extra.kado = card -- no-cloning theorem fix
    end,

[elder vapor]

do you know if card is actually a card

[wispy rose]

can anyone help me figure out the issue with this? it happens on card click after a run is loaded in

current mod list

[viscid bough]

anyone have any idea whats wrong with this?

[sick sparrow]

the game loads the card and it treats as cloned card instead of genuine card

because of cyclic reference i have to overwrite/hook game's copy_table function to prevent cyclic reference

[sick sparrow]

idk

[karmic kelp]

how would I go about doing this anyway

[cerulean rose]

remember that atlas coordinates are 0-indexed

[karmic kelp]

both 1, 2 and 2, 1 in my atlas have sprites
and from my prior efforts, I know that if you point to an element of the atlas that's just transparent pixels
you just get an invisible thing

[sick sparrow]

Defeated By ERROR Blind

caused by killer death card

[nova finch]

i get that far but I don't know where to look after that

[sick sparrow]

and no the variants are not duplicates of card it's a real variant that changes no gameplay elements whatsoever

[vagrant cedar]

Anyone able to help me figure out why this Joker isn't working?

It's supposed to play a sound when it triggers

It claims the sound doesn't exist

[sick sparrow]

did you prepend your prefix?

[vagrant cedar]

did I what

[sick sparrow]

this is because you might downloaded wav file instead of ogg file

[vagrant cedar]

no it's ogg

[sick sparrow]

then prepend your prefix

[vagrant cedar]

what does that mean

[sick sparrow]

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: HandPlus
--- MOD_ID: gerio_handplus
--- PREFIX: geriohp
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [GerioSB]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Creates Extra Hand Types.

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

[vagrant cedar]

ah

where do i attach this prefix

in the key or the path

or the sound in the joker part

[sick sparrow]

did you have a prefix in header?

[vagrant cedar]

it's in .json

[sick sparrow]

upload so i can see what's going on

[vagrant cedar]

i know the name is different of the lua i sent here, it's a snippet

[sick sparrow]

it's supposed to be

      return {
        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
        message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } },
        sound = "mvan_jokerbabysound", volume = volume, pitch = pitch
      }

[plain apex]

does always_scores = true on enhancements just not work? both my enhancement and the one from ortalab using this don't score when played alongside other stuff like stone cards do

[vagrant cedar]

IT WORKS

Thank you qwerty

[runic pecan]

So what kind of variation are we talking about?
Like, which part is shared and which part diverges?

[sick sparrow]

it's just a atlas and position replacement, nothing else is used

[runic pecan]

OK so sprites are different. What part/trait/function do they share in common with each other?

[sick sparrow]

all of them

[runic pecan]

So you want a bunch of jokers, while having different sprites, act exactly like each other.

[sick sparrow]

no 1 joker different sprite function same

[runic pecan]

Isn't there like seven of them?

[sick sparrow]

look at this

[runic pecan]

And I seem to forgot, your current question is?

[sick sparrow]

1 joker different sprite function same

[runic pecan]

Can you, like, rephrase your sentence, with Grammarly if possible? English is not exactly my native/first language.

[sick sparrow]

there is just 1 joker that functions same while having different design

[runic pecan]

And depend on what circumstances does it have different design?

[sick sparrow]

40% chance

[nova finch]

can anyone nudge me in the right direction? I have an idea but idk if it'll work

[runic pecan]

Check Burnt Joker and Obelisk.

[runic pecan]

How many variations of them do you want to see your mod displaying in Collection pages?

[sick sparrow]

i didn't coded in

it's a simple sprite replacement

[runic pecan]

wdym "didn't coded in"

[sick sparrow]

all

[runic pecan]

I don't think this is a proper timing to reply "Yes" to my question of "How many".

[karmic kelp]

In the code he shared earlier there's 7 variants, so technically it's a good answer

[runic pecan]

7 or 8

wait

The way you said "1 joker different" made me falsely presume that 7 of them share the same in every part of code with just an extra odd one standing out like a bullied victim.

[sick sparrow]

1 joker, different sprite, function same

[runic pecan]

There you go.

So you want ONE(1) joker that can switch its sprite on defined circumstances.

[sick sparrow]

yes

[runic pecan]

Is that even possible? @frosty dock

'Cause I actually don't know if that's a thing or not.

[karmic kelp]

would either of you happen to know how to verify if an atlas has been properly registered

[runic pecan]

Haven't encountered an atlas not being registered properly except external problem (syntax error in other part of the file, forgot to rename the sprite file, forgot to put them in both 1x and 2x, etc.). Hence haven't feel the need to. Sorry.

[runic pecan]

So I just have two awful ideas:
a)Code some edition specifically for this joker to use.
b)Use stickers that can cover entire joker with new sprites.

[karmic kelp]

could you also maybe look at Jimball from Cryptid? since that thing's got an animation, might be able to offer an insight as to changing sprites

[runic pecan]

That, is an animated sprite.
qwerty asked for conditional sprite transformation.

[karmic kelp]

oh that's just an outright supported thing?

[sick sparrow]

my method is much better
replace the atlas and change sprite pos

        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

[runic pecan]

And is that working?

[sick sparrow]

yes

[runic pecan]

And is your problem solved?

[sick sparrow]

i already solved it with my own way by looking a source code
if you don't believe me, then check my mod
https://github.com/TRRESTGHGYTCFTGBCXSZD/gerio_cards_part_1
https://github.com/TRRESTGHGYTCFTGBCXSZD/gerio_cards_part_2

[runic pecan]

No, I believe you.
I'm just upset that I wasted both of us at least 40 minutes.

[cerulean rose]

cryptid's seal the deal also has alt sprites

[sick sparrow]

so is there's a way to put an additional collection tab that shows variants?

[nova finch]

how do i destroy selected playing cards?

[cerulean rose]

add remove = true to your return table

[runic pecan]

Not that I know of.

[nova finch]

I added remove = true but it didn't do anything

[sick sparrow]

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play make sure you added them

[nova finch]

oh yeah

[sick sparrow]

relocalize with a_mult_minus not a_mult

[vagrant cedar]

thank you

I didn't have to ask the question lmao

[sick sparrow]

and make sure the number is enclosed in math.abs(-5)

[sick sparrow]

it looks awkward with +-5 mult

[nova finch]

where dhould i add it? this is how i have it rn but now it just does nothing
(trying to make it so that if the first discard is a two pair it destroys the discarded cards and upgrades Xmult)

[sick sparrow]

check purple seal code

[nova finch]

would that be in game.lua in the code?

[sick sparrow]

maybe

[runic pecan]

How do I write the patch pattern if I want to patch this part?

I wrote pattern = "(?<indent>[\t ]*)if scoring_hand[i].ability.name == 'Glass Card' and not scoring_hand[i].debuff and pseudorandom('glass') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/scoring_hand[i].ability.extra then\n([\t ]+.*\n)*end" and it didn't work.

[viscid bough]

Anyone know why this ain’t working

[onyx inlet]

How many tests have you run? It looks like you don’t display anything if the probability test isn’t passed, so you wouldn’t know the difference between low-rolling and nothing happening

I would recommend doing something on failure, like playing JuiceUp on the joker.

Just to test

[viscid bough]

It supposed to send a message even if it’s not rolling right. And I’ve tested a lot, even with some Oops all 6s to make it guaranteed

[runic pecan]

The code does have "TRASH" as roll-failing message

[onyx inlet]

Oh? It’s hard to follow the “end” braces when the indents are messed up on my tiny phone screen XD

[viscid bough]

I’m wondering if it has something to do with the hook I put with the use_consumable function. However, the hook returns the right things, and the hook doesn’t change it

[upper fern]

is there a way to recalculate the scored hand after applying an effect to cards in a manner similar to Midas Mask?

In this case I am convering all scored 8s and 9s into 7s so that can affect what the played poker hand should be

[cerulean rose]

vampire doesn't recalculate if stone cards have their enhancements removed

[runic pecan]

The hand type is set stoned once the cards are played

[upper fern]

Ah, an excellent point
Yeah I should probably just leave it lol

And Vampire doesnt even specify 'doesnt affect scored hand' because that is implied so I'll just leave my joker as is

[runic pecan]

So I just found out that smods also patched and changed this part (in better_calc.toml, of all files), which might be the reason why my patch didn't do anything.

Can I make a patch that is targetting another patch?

[wild patrol]

I wonder if I can make a monster reborn card in balatro

Guess it could be a tarot card that restores a deleted card, but not sure if there's any code I could leech from to make it work

[gaunt thistle]

I've got this feature scheduled for the next update.

[upper fern]

Well, the code for the ability of The Fool makes reference to a G.GAME.last_tarot_planet

That might be a starting point, seeing how it records the last used tarot/planet

[wild patrol]

Ooh that's a good it idea

Forgot about the fool

Right now just trying to figure out how to put them in their own card packs

Tho not sure if having jokers and tarot cards in same pack would confuse the game

Was gonna add copycat and make it just a carbon copy of blueprint lol

[runic pecan]

The downsides is the spectral cards won't be recycled that way though

[wild patrol]

Is it even possible to make custom packs

Something I really need to know

[upper fern]

I'm almost certain it is

[upper fern]

yeah, codex arcanum does it. you could have a sneak peek at their code to see how they did it

https://github.com/itayfeder/Codex-Arcanum

[wild patrol]

Ty

[upper fern]

https://github.com/itayfeder/Codex-Arcanum/blob/main/mod/data/CA_BoosterPacks.lua

[sick sparrow]

all arcana pack?

[sick sparrow]

an pack that literally contains all tarots

[wild patrol]

I'm trying figure out how they did it lol

[upper fern]

check the second link I gave :)

CA_BoosterPacks.lua

[wild patrol]

Is that all I really need

Looks like there's some extra stuff in there that's needed

[wild patrol]

Ok I think I see how this works

That files is basically creating the pack and is calling the cards from mod/CodexArcanum.lua

Hopefully I'm reading this right

[random sleet]

no dont use codex as a reference

codex is old at this point smods has its own booster api

ortalab uses it

[wild patrol]

As a individual what would be a good example of making one card with a proper file structure

[random sleet]

big recommend to look at a currently maintained project instead of codex lol

[wild patrol]

So I know how to properly do this

Getting sent left and right to different mods with different file structures and different methods of being done

[random sleet]

yeah

[wild patrol]

Kinda overloading me

I just a simple one and done

And good to go

[random sleet]

sorry but fr codex is out of date

unfortunately i dont have much time but yeah i recommend checking like ortalab in the current ecosystem if you want to peek at mod workings

[wild patrol]

Like I just something like

folder structure with card assets a one lua script to setup the mod one for the custom pack and one for list of cards lol

[wintry brook]

Pokermon has pretty good file structure imo

im basing my mod off of it's methods

[wild patrol]

I'll take a look saw it earlier

I just hate like copying someone's mod and reskinning it you know

[vocal verge]

You're bound to eventually copy someone else, even on accident

[wild patrol]

Still knowing I've done doesn't let me know I learned anything

At least watching video guides when ur copying code you're learning how things work along the way copying a mod from GitHub and just changed a couple lines and textures doesn't really help me learn more coding

You know

[vocal verge]

But studying that code, seeing what it changes and sets does

If you just copy paste then yeah

[wintry brook]

theres no better way to learn balatro modding than look at how other people have done things atm

just studying other code is pretty much all we got lol

and this discord of course

[wild patrol]

Yeah, but everyone has their own style of coding so sometimes it can be kinda hard to find best ways to make something

Especially in lua

Used to mod GMOD back then the only organization you'd really see is a Lua model material and sound folder lol

Anything after that is anything goes

I mostly just need to get a simple script going for a custom pack to slap my new cards in ain't really going above and beyond

Usually the best way is to start small work your way up

Maybe I can just look how the vanilla game handles card packs instead

[wintry brook]

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

atleast look at the wiki a little, particularly the booster section

[wild patrol]

That seems a bit easier to understand

[upper fern]

it would help if wiki links / up to date examples were pinned in the discord ^^;

[wild patrol]

More guides would be nice for more simplified code for people to begin with as well

[faint yacht]

Actually, if you need an example of booster packs that contain specific Jokers defined in a "list", I have one that does just that.

[tight thistle]

does lobotomy corp do that?

[crisp coral]

LobotomyCorp has uses a different (but similar to the vanilla) function to generate its own pool of cards

[tight thistle]

got it

[proper stratus]

heya fellas! im having some trouble over here- for some reason the game wont show the name and description of this sticker

i really dont know why..

[crisp coral]

if you're looking at its code, the parts you'd wanna keep in mind are the ones under these comments: --create the pool, --cull the pool and --if pool is empty

[faint yacht]

Tried name and text instead of label and description?

[proper stratus]

well, no see- the label works

its just everything inside description isnt shown

ive tried looking around inside other code files and they all seem to do the same thing as me

it must be some really small thing im missing

hmm

[wild patrol]

Honestly just need a script that can make a custom pack for a list of cards

Trying to basically port in Yu-Gi-Oh cards as a funny meme pack

But some might have effects that aren't joker

So like to put them all in one specific pack so you are guaranteed to pull

Kinda like a real TCG pack pull lmao

With 5 cards per pull

An example code would help a lot without all the bells and whistles of more experienced modders

[vocal verge]

it says seal

but it's a sticker

[wild patrol]

Are you wanting it to say sticker?

Change Miku seal to Miku Sticker in the label and the name below it should work

[vocal verge]

no, i'm just showing bird the structure for the sticker to show the name and description

was a quick example, but i'm also gonna make a miku seal

(when held in hand, creates hierophant tarot)

I wanna make a whole vocaloid set with a bunch of the most popular ones and some themed stuff for them

[sly thunder]

creating absolutely horrendous code for this

is there a way to hook steamodded functions

[zealous glen]

yes

but do you? I think like you could make it work like Blueprint

[violet void]

I have a question for the assets, whats the difference between x1 and x2 as in where are they being used respectively?

When making a custom Joker, do you make it x1 first and upscale it for the x2 folder or the other way around?

I've been doing them in the x2 format to paste into the x1 folder afterwards and I really don't see a difference

[vocal verge]

she's beautiful

[zealous glen]

smooth

[violet void]

That doesn't help me understand

[zealous glen]

1x to 2x is better IMO

because you can't lose detail upscaling correctly

[vocal verge]

😭 she got so scrunkled

[zealous glen]

more mikus

[violet void]

I see I've been doing it wrong then
So then the question is what is the correct way to upscale them

[vocal verge]

I do want to make a rare joker that has a 1,000 chance of applying Uber Miku
it just covers the entire card in mikus

[dim steeple]

Probably missing something really obvious here, but when using a custom Shader in a Seal:draw() method, I can't pass it the same list of arguments as a normal shader

[zealous glen]

nearest neighbor IIRC

[zealous glen]

I want to make that a type of sticker

I like the idea of a card being covered in stickers

[dim steeple]

Anyone have any idea why the args list is different?

[violet void]

Uhh?

[zealous glen]

an example of what you mind find in image editing software

they're different forms of interpolation

[violet void]

Ah I see now, thanks for the info 😄

[wintry brook]

cryptid upscaled with a python script which is funny i think

[zealous glen]

I just use aseprite

and export at 2x

[violet void]

I just switched to that program

I was using PixiEditor, it's a different world entirely lol

[vocal verge]

gimp gaming

[wintry brook]

paint.net will always be my goat

[wild patrol]

photopea because Photoshop too expensive

[faint yacht]

Honestly forgot for how long I've been using Paint.NET as main... but if I need to palettize something, Photoshop still is kept in the backpocket.

[wild patrol]

[vocal verge]

go miku, go

[faint yacht]

But as long as it works in the end for the user, anything can go.
-# Some still use the older versions of MSPaint for stuff.

[sly thunder]

yea somewhat most of the difficulty comes from working with only one physical Card object and dealing with triggering all the other joker callbacks with that one card

[vocal verge]

imagine it triggers madness and just dies

[wild patrol]

Joker card that if u draw it you automatically lose the run

[sly thunder]

i could solve one issue but i cant find any examples for hooking into other mods (in this case steamodded) code...

[wintry brook]

cant you just make a table of references to the calc functions of the jokers it destroys?

[zealous glen]

shouldn't that just be smods_foo_ref = SMODS.foo

[wild patrol]

I was gonna add kuriboh as a wrestler joker card copy

[zealous glen]

SMODS.foo = function(args) smods_foo_ref(args) end

[wild patrol]

Where u sell it to protect from boss effects

[vocal verge]

where would i find documentation on making the cards flip

[wild patrol]

Gonna add exodia then try solving adding a card pack to the game

[faint yacht]

card:flip()?

[zealous glen]

I don't think there's documentation

[wild patrol]

Before doing more cards

[zealous glen]

there's only flip

[vocal verge]

ah oke

[sly thunder]

ohh okay that'll work thank u

[vocal verge]

thought there was like a whole thing about card animations and shiz

[zealous glen]

I thought of adding some YGO Jokers but I'm not sure I'll do that

I do have some programmed in

[wild patrol]

I've been doing it I got pot of greed working lmao

[sly thunder]

i was wondering abt lovely injection but i can probably just add my code to the end like that

[zealous glen]

yet another pot of greed in balatro

[wild patrol]

It was the most obvious starting card

[vocal verge]

lmfao
trying to find just a small clip of miku saying miku

what's the point of this? truly burning hte planet for no reason

[zealous glen]

I programmed a Tour Guide and I had an idea for AFD/Terraforming

[wild patrol]

It's literally the staple meme card of Yu-Gi-Oh next to exodia

[zealous glen]

I thought of BEWD before those

and it was easier to come up with an effect for it

[wild patrol]

I'm trying to stick with the theme of a card

And giving it a balatro equivalent effects

[zealous glen]

the WIP

[zealous glen]

me too, which is why BEWD was easier

[wild patrol]

Adding BEWD wouldn't make sense since it's a vanilla with no effect in the actual game on it's own

[zealous glen]

but I never programmed it

[zealous glen]

#1171228194058281020 message

[wild patrol]

Oh that makes sense lmao

[zealous glen]

I don't like it tho

Who came up with that stupid idea

[sly thunder]

as far as i can tell returning multiple disconnected calc results in one call is very Jank

[zealous glen]

I had an effect for AFD/Terraforming but I decided to swap it because it wasn't Planet-themed

so now I need a new flavor for it

[violet void]

You were right 😭

Now to figure out how to downscale my preexisting x2 images...

[wild patrol]

Ur BEWD idea way too advanced for me to code so I'd probably give up on it lol

I'm going for simplicity

[zealous glen]

an easier version would be to destroy 2 Jokers when bought

[wild patrol]

How far along is ur version of a Yu-Gi-Oh pack mod

[zealous glen]

I'm not making a Yu-Gi-Oh! pack mode so

[wild patrol]

Ah

[sly thunder]

as far as i can tell if i wanted to activate two jokers that had a "retrigger cards" effect but one said the usual "Again!" and another said something else there's no way i could replicate that in the effects of one joker without some very scary hooking i dont wanna touch but probably will end up doing anyway

[zealous glen]

either 0% or 100$ or NaN depending on your opinion

[wild patrol]

Soon as I can figure out how to add a new card pack

[random sleet]

100 australian dollars...

[wild patrol]

I'll probably be off to the races on my mod

[random sleet]

boosters are like mid tier trickiness to add

[vocal verge]

are the 2 arguments in play_sound just volume and pitch?

[zealous glen]

there's SMODS.Booster now

idk

[random sleet]

yeah its still inherently harder to use than other SMODS objects tho

[zealous glen]

I haven't tried

why tho

[random sleet]

you have to handle a lot of the process smods mostly just gives you the hooks to do so

[zealous glen]

by the way do you know lua

I don't understand why vscode is yelling at me

[wild patrol]

Is the wiki based on the alpha or old version of smod

[long sun]

thoughts on this ability for Blind Joker?
(Common): Creates a Planet card if played hand contains a Pair of Aces

[random sleet]

i dont know lua sorry

[zealous glen]

alpha

[wild patrol]

Ok

[zealous glen]

seems weak

[wild patrol]

Well I'll try coding it myself see if I can get new pack to work

[zealous glen]

also I made a chowder shader

[long sun]

well, it is common :}

[zealous glen]

it's like worse than common

[long sun]

Superposition is much rarer, so i thought Planets instead of Tarots would be good

[zealous glen]

strength-wise

[vocal verge]

maybe make it targetted planet for the played hand?

[zealous glen]

Superposition was buffed to not create Planets IIRC

[faint yacht]

To be fair, I think you can have an "ObjectType" that has both Jokers and Consumables to "take". 🤔

[vocal verge]

yeah it gives tarots now

[long sun]

well ya because it's rarer

i know that :>

[vocal verge]

it's common

[random sleet]

https://github.com/Eremel/Ortalab/blob/master/objects/loteria_boosters.lua
no question this is easier than before but still more involved than the simpler things in SMODS (consider these are basically boring normal packs)

[zealous glen]

I know it gives Tarots, but I'm saying it was buffed to not give Planets

[long sun]

the hand you need to play is rarer

[vocal verge]

i guess, yeah

[long sun]

but ya targeted planets would be neat

[zealous glen]

The point is that the effect is so weak you wouldn't buy it

[vocal verge]

just kinda feels wack to play a hand wiht pair of aces, like say full house

and then just get high card

[long sun]

fairfair ^^

[zealous glen]

I do think making it targeted makes it much stronger

[vocal verge]

maybe most played hand?

[long sun]

i mean, it's a decent setup, that's why people use Superposition

[zealous glen]

that's stronger still

[vocal verge]

fairs

[zealous glen]

who's using Superposition

[vocal verge]

people who don't get any other joker

[zealous glen]

are these Superposition users in the room with us right now

/j

[frosty dock]

an empty joker slot can actually be more useful than superposition

[vocal verge]

you get stake stickers for having the joker in your joker slots when you beat ante 8, right?

[frosty dock]

yes

[long sun]

i mean, fair - superpos isn't that great either

[vocal verge]

i mean hey

better than egg when it comes to actual score

[long sun]

ya i'll go with targeted planets ^^

[frosty dock]

nah, I'd take egg over superpos all day

[zealous glen]

I think target planets makes it uncommon or rare

[vocal verge]

i mean moer like
keeping it around

and not selling it

[long sun]

egg's better actually! consider Swashbuckler and Ceremonial Dagger

[frosty dock]

the temperance in question:

[vocal verge]

oh right

ceremonial does get rid of egg

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/out-disappear-bye-vanished-gif-4932063

[vocal verge]

swash is a good call

[zealous glen]

temperance when egg

@frosty dock can you answer a quick lua question

why is vscode yelling at me

[vocal verge]

how would i go about delaying an action?
specifically flip a card, do the change, then flip again

[zealous glen]

events

[vocal verge]

mmm event manager

figures

[frosty dock]

local func_(v) return true end

that's not how you write functions

[zealous glen]

you're right I lost the function

[frosty dock]

local func

[zealous glen]

it's happy now

[zealous glen]

I remember someone explained it to me already

but I forgot

[vocal verge]

mm, actual complicated code

[zealous glen]

the difference between local foo; foo = function and local foo() …

or maybe it was something else similar

[frosty dock]

with

local foo = function() ... end

a reference to foo doesn't exist within the function, so it can't be called recursively

local function foo() ... end

is syntactic sugar for

local foo; foo = function() ... end

both of which do allow foo to be called recursively

[zealous glen]

But I think the former works for recursive calls, no?

Because it didn't break when I did it recursively

even though vscode complained

[vocal verge]

puppy brain so small to figure out what the hell i'm doin

[frosty dock]

idk I've seen it break from doing that

[zealous glen]

you can reference vanilla for code that flips a card, does something to it, then flips it back

[vocal verge]

aight

time to crash my way into a solution

[dreamy thunder]

how do i check if a voucher has been redeemed or not? i have a joker which i want it to work after the set voucher has been redeemed

[faint yacht]

if G.GAME.used_vouchers["voucherkey"] == true iirc?

[zealous glen]

Does pseudorandom account for a card being in the collection or not?

[vocal verge]

huh, there's no joker in vanilla that flips played cards

[sick sparrow]

how to create consumable set?

where is SMODS.ConsumableType located at? undocumented?

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype

[vocal verge]

[long sun]

had another Common idea:
Gives $2 when a Tarot card is sold

might increase the value though

[vocal verge]

increase sale value by 2 bucks when tarot card is sold

Delayed Tarotification

[long sun]

:}

it doesn't affect sale value actually

it just gives extra money ^^

the plan was for this to work well with a Crescent machine

[wild patrol]

Are consumables things like celestial cards

[long sun]

mhm!

[wild patrol]

Where just a one time use

Ok just making sure

[long sun]

generally speaking, consumables are things that go in your consumable slot

[wild patrol]

Can you combine jokers and consumables together into a back or would that cause coding issues

[vocal verge]

uhmmm

they're called Consumeables

thank you

[long sun]

[zealous glen]

wildheart reborn

-# placeholder wording

[wild patrol]

I should probably turn pot of greed into consumable for a plus 2 hand

Or is it more funny for plus 2 joker slots

[zealous glen]

-# the people yearn for oddities

[sick sparrow]

or draw 2 cards

[vocal verge]

how many times did you have to re-record it because that lucky didn't proc

[zealous glen]

I just recorded once

[wild patrol]

Is there a draw 2 card type function

[vocal verge]

lucky

[zealous glen]

I didn't pay attention to the lucky

[wild patrol]

Could probably make it a draw 2 joker card

[vocal verge]

draw 2 extra cards per draw

[candid epoch]

how to make own stone cards i wonder

[wild patrol]

So much to learn

[vocal verge]

there's context for right after discard so, doable

[candid epoch]

exacly

[wild patrol]

Now I need an example consumable card code to understand how it works

[vocal verge]

i'm currently trying to figure out how to make miku say miku when she mikus the cards

[wild patrol]

Pretty sure there's a play sound function

[vocal verge]

yeah

i'm wrapping my head around G.E_MANAGER

cause i want to flip the cards nad play a sound

[zealous glen]

can't you use the vanilla example

[wild patrol]

If you can find how sounds play in vanilla game

You prob copy paste a sound function to play on card flip

If it's a Miku card only

[vocal verge]

yeah i'm tryign to figure out how it works

puppy brain is small and slow

[wild patrol]

I know there's vanilla example code for joker

But not many examples for anything else

[zealous glen]

like this probably

The Star, The Moon, The Sun, and The World

[candid epoch]

i think the worse part of makeing mods, is to try to get idea for it

[vocal verge]

nah

that's the easy part

[wild patrol]

Ideas are wasy

[candid epoch]

i have a hard time doing that

[wild patrol]

Trying to get a base going is the hard part

[vocal verge]

mods can be as simple as just

[candid epoch]

the only time i get ideas is during sleep, and it takes alot of energy out of me

[vocal verge]

"played cards play a cat sound when scored"

or as complex as

"When blind is selected, destroy joker to the right and add it's ability to this joker"

[candid epoch]

the only thing i compleated is #1329551393983299634

but its just a texture pack

[vocal verge]

that's a mod

[candid epoch]

normaly yes
but if going by the minecraft modding community sense
nah

[vocal verge]

going by definition

that's a mod

either way, you got htis

something will hit ya

[sick sparrow]

insanium cards

[wild patrol]

You can even add a new section of cards in collection

I need to learn that to

[frosty dock]

chat my crash screen just opened two instances of balatro on restart

they're in the same terminal

[candid epoch]

i will get sleep paralys faster than that lmao

[candid epoch]

intresting lmao

[violet void]

Why are you trying to make a mod if you don't know what to do

[candid epoch]

wanna learn to do so
plus, haveing 7 hours a day to spare

it can be boring

so why not fill the gaps with something?

[vocal verge]

ok well now what

[wild patrol]

Imagine having 7 hours to spare a day to code

Imagine having any free time to code

[candid epoch]

one day i had 13 hours of freetime

and what have i done with all of it? sleep

[vocal verge]

ok, we getting somewhere

[frosty dock]

add your mod prefix to where you're playing the sound

[candid epoch]

i am more wondering why its sound is called miku

[frosty dock]

the game doesn't have enough information to know the sound key you're giving it is from your mod

[vocal verge]

don't worry about it

[candid epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/miku-green-onion-hatsune-miku-vocaloid-vocaloid2-gif-5269998450995417888

[vocal verge]

i'm a little stupid, here?

or the path for hte atlas

[candid epoch]

whats your mod prefix?

[vocal verge]

vcld

[candid epoch]

then you also need to put it there, i think it was before but not sure

[candid epoch]

the a
if hand has only 2 aces

[plain apex]

what am i doing wrong here? its displaying properly what the mult should be but isn't giving me it?

}

[long sun]

no - this card creates targeted planets

[sick sparrow]

game uses cash not dollars

[long sun]

isn't that better Bootstraps?

[candid epoch]

haveing it read "the planet card" alone sure
but when creating it should be "create a planet card"
