[weary jungle]

to accurately time a card to do things

i want it to happen every like 5 seconds, and stoping after 1 min

but it isnt a joker, its a function thats called when gros mitchel/cavendish dies

[whole jungle]

So, you need an update loop on something else

[weary jungle]

yes

[whole jungle]

Well, is there a way to use that one little joker guy who talks during the goal screen?

[hardy viper]

nothing? that doesn't pause the thread

why don't you just use event manager for this im confused

it seems like it'd work fine for this and it's very well documented

[weary jungle]

it has to be like accurate

[whole jungle]

Why wouldn't it be accurate, though?

[weary jungle]

i heard it was dependant on game speed

is it not?

[hardy viper]

not sure but you can always just implement the delay yourself

[whole jungle]

I think they're trying to implement the delay

[weary jungle]

would this work

[hardy viper]

"delay = 0.0"

[weary jungle]

well its immediate so no delay

[hardy viper]

why are you calling delay

that's not even a luajit function to my knowledge and love.timer.sleep() would be better anyways

[weary jungle]

it was "after" but i changed it to immediate

[hardy viper]

...

[weary jungle]

what is this for then??

[hardy viper]

oh wait huh

that would delay an event (wrong)

[weary jungle]

also love.timer.sleep() freezes the gsme

[hardy viper]

but since you didn't supply any events it did nothing

[hardy viper]

well yeah

that's what sleeping does

i misunderstood the purpose of delay

but again you're using it wrong and you should just implement the delay yourself

[weary jungle]

delay works but its definitly not 5 seconds

[hardy viper]

yes because of gamespeed

[weary jungle]

how would i do that

[hardy viper]

cough

[weary jungle]

but i dont have an update

[hardy viper]

you don't need an update

events are updates

called every frame until they return true

not called if they have a delay

and the delay isn't past

so just make a bland event that'll return true once a certain amount of time has passed, and of course do something after that time as well

[weary jungle]

i might undestand

dont count on it

i ont think i understood

WAIT IM DUMB

[worthy stirrup]

Can I get some help with this

[weary jungle]

do you have an SMODS.Atlas{} for jokersheet?

[worthy stirrup]

Yes

[weary jungle]

can you send it?

[worthy stirrup]

I’ll get more code in a second, my laptop decided to update bc it hates me

My apologies

[weary jungle]

also i did it

how do i make a joker move to the center of the screen like a consumable

[wooden nexus]

    key = 'nil',
    chips = 150,
    mult = 10,
    l_chips = 50,
    l_mult = 5,
    example = {
        { 'S_A',    true, 'm_SCB_blank_enhance' },
        { 'S_A',    true, 'm_SCB_blank_enhance' },
        { 'S_A',    true, 'm_SCB_blank_enhance' },
        { 'S_A',    true, 'm_SCB_blank_enhance' },
        { 'S_A',    true, 'm_SCB_blank_enhance' },
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'nil',
        description = { '5 Blank Cards' },
    },
    visible = false,
    evaluate = function(parts, hand)
        local blanks = {}
        for i, card in ipairs(hand) do
            if card.config.center_key == 'm_SCB_blank_enhance' then 
                blanks[#blanks+1] = card
            end
        end
        return #blanks >= 5 and {blanks} or {}
    end,
}```

It's based on the bulwark code

[worthy stirrup]

Sorry for the long wait, it’s still updating and now is stuck at 94%

[wooden nexus]

I changed it to stone like bulwark and regardless of what i do, it crashes with that nil value

[worthy stirrup]

--Creates an atlas for cards to use
SMODS.Atlas {
  -- Key for code to find it with
  key = "JokerSheet",
  -- The name of the file, for the code to pull the atlas from
  path = "JokerSheet.png",
  -- Width of each sprite in 1x size
  px = 71,
  -- Height of each sprite in 1x size
  py = 95
}

[whole jungle]

Crimson, why is your key 'nil'

[worthy stirrup]

heres the JokerSheet as well

Im trying to get the blueprint one

[wooden nexus]

on purpose

it doesn't matter what i put the key to btw

[whole jungle]

That's fair

[wooden nexus]

I tried with my test key word and it still breaks

[worthy stirrup]

My joker art seems to become Jimbo after the number 2 in the pos for a joker card

--Creates an atlas for cards to use
SMODS.Atlas {
  -- Key for code to find it with
  key = "JokerSheet",
  -- The name of the file, for the code to pull the atlas from
  path = "JokerSheet.png",
  -- Width of each sprite in 1x size
  px = 71,
  -- Height of each sprite in 1x size
  py = 95
}

--- SKIP AHEAD TO NON WORKING PART ---

SMODS.Joker {
  -- How the code refers to the joker.
  key = 'AIJoker',
  -- loc_text is the actual name and description that show in-game for the card.
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Ai Joker ',
    text={
      "Test"
  },
  config = { extra = { worth = 2 } },
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.extra_value } }
  end,
  rarity = 3,
  atlas = 'JokerSheet',
  pos = { x = 3, y = 0 },
  -- Cost of card in shop.
  cost = 10,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    return {
      message = "Scammed!"
    }
  end
}
}

[solar eagle]

probably because there's no art there

[worthy stirrup]

I wish there was a way to just make the text smaller so it doesnt flood chat

[solar eagle]

0, 0 is the top left

[worthy stirrup]

yea

[solar eagle]

so x = 3, y = 0 is the fourth joker from the left in the top row

make sure u have art there

[worthy stirrup]

this is the sheet

I have no idea what is causing this

it happens to every joker above the number 2

note, the first card is marked as 0

so techincally, it doesnt work for 4 or more cards

[solar eagle]

could just keep ur atlas to 3 cards per row

solves the problem

[worthy stirrup]

so, just make another row and move the cards there

[faint yacht]

...are you making sure that the content of the 1x and 2x atlases match, just differing in resolution?

[worthy stirrup]

They match

[violet void]

What would happen if they didn't

[weary jungle]

gros mitchel jumpscare

[faint yacht]

Hey, you can do fun stuff with what shows up whether a player uses Pixel Art Smoothing if the atlases in 1x and 2x have different stuff in the respective areas. 😛

[violet void]

I wonder why is that even an option tho, why not just x2

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pulsar flower]

how would i add line breaks to my mod's description

[solar eagle]

\n i imagine

[pulsar flower]

that's what i tried but nope

[wooden nexus]

@hardy viper I moved it here so you can see what i mean

[solar eagle]

try \r\n

[hardy viper]

saw

[wooden nexus]

oh ok

i have no clue what's going on

[pulsar flower]

also nope

[solar eagle]

try setting it to an array

{ "line1", "line2" }

no clue if this'll work

[faint yacht]

Descriptions via .json or the legacy header are automatically wrapped.

[solar eagle]

no way to manually do it?

[faint yacht]

If you want to go custom, though, use a localization entry.

I am already using that route.

You can customize the scale and colors via SMODS.current_mod.description_loc_vars... and I did so too.

[pulsar flower]

oh localization

the one thing i didn't set up

[tight thistle]

my mod, of course

[weary jungle]

is there a voucher template

[solar eagle]

how would i access the current hand's chips to multiply?

i'd like to do something similar to xmult but i dont think it exists for chips by default

[faint yacht]

hand_chips and mult are globals that hold values for currently scored chips and mult respectively.

[solar eagle]

perfect!

and then would i have to create the animation or whatever it's termed as from scratch?

[tight thistle]

hello! i have a question for balance, is this too many rounds for the effect? for context, once the card "rots", it turns into another joker

would 4 or maybe even 3 rounds still give the player a fair chance to make a good amount of gold cards?

[solar eagle]

its a 1 in 4 chance

id say thats fine

[tight thistle]

okay! fair enough!

yunoThumb

[solar eagle]

would you happen to know how lucky cards give money

[weary jungle]

ease_dollars() probably

[tight thistle]

not in detail, no
i would assume its a pseudorand thing?

[solar eagle]

looks like it

[solar eagle]

the pseudorand i got i just couldnt find the function that gives money

[tight thistle]

i havent been able to look into the balatro source code to find much myself

ah, got it

[solar eagle]

found it under immolate actually

[tight thistle]

ohh yeah immolate makes sense

[ionic verge]

how do i get the number of joker slots i have?

[normal crest]

G.jokers.card_limit sounds right to me

But that's out of memory, could be wrong

Maybe G.jokers.config.card_limit

[hardy viper]

ya it's in config

[cerulean rose]

#1241172556849876993 has xchips

[solar eagle]

ooh ok

lemme see

[ionic verge]

thanks!

[solar eagle]

would i then do "Xchips_mod"?

[cerulean rose]

for old calc yeah

[solar eagle]

for wha

im new to balatro modding sry

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

[solar eagle]

ahhh

yea thats what im usin

[cerulean rose]

then it's just xchips

[solar eagle]

would this be valid then? message = localize { type = "variable", key = "a_xchips", vars = { card.ability.extra.x_chips } },

i know a_xmult, a_mult, and a_chips exist by default

[cerulean rose]

you don't need to use message with bettercalc

[solar eagle]

ok

i am using oldcalc though

[cerulean rose]

then u need to use Xchips_mod

[solar eagle]

ok thanks

sorry

[faint yacht]

Xchip_mod, actually.

[solar eagle]

thank you all!

[sturdy compass]

Oh wow I got pinged a lot while I slept lmao

It's War I need to finish off. Some of the Spectral cards I couldn't access destroy methods til now due to SMODS taking ownership and implementing its own that I need to patch into

Interesting, I'll give this a shot Actually I'm not sure how this would translate to what I want since it's going through a pack opening state instead of just an animation

[solar eagle]

with making an edition, i'd like to fully replace how each card looks. poking at the smods wiki i found this:

draw = function(self, card, layer)
    
end,```
but i'm not sure how to tell it which image to draw and when. poking at the balatro source was not helpful unfortunately :(

so far i know i have to switch over the suits and ranks of the appropriate card - i know how to do this - but i'm not sure how to tell it what to draw

[glossy kestrel]

is there any case in which multiple things are sold at once I'm not thinking of?

[tight thistle]

holy cannoli pinkmoth

[solar eagle]

i dont think so?

unless there's a mod that allows selling multiple things at once, maybe

or something that sells all jokers/consumables in inventory

[glossy kestrel]

alright, thank you

[glossy kestrel]

yea?

[tight thistle]

nothing, just surprised to see someone i follow

[glossy kestrel]

haha

nice pfp

[tight thistle]

thank you!

[glossy kestrel]

what does it do in the game

[tight thistle]

oh i havent thought of an effect for it yet haha, my friend who made it though said something like
"1.2x Mult per heart played in a non-flush hand"
not sure what he meant by it, but it sounds pretty strong!

[glossy kestrel]

so kinda like a bloodstone x seeing double

that does sound fun

[whole jungle]

Is there a fast reload method for modding?

[sturdy compass]

I think holding 'm' with debugplus installed reloads, only problem is that it'll probably start spamming m's in your vscode when the window closes lol

[frosty dock]

it's in base steamodded but yes

[whole jungle]

Oh cool, thanks

[worthy stirrup]

bro, its still not working

--Creates an atlas for cards to use

    }
  end

}

its still showing up as jimbo

[frosty dock]

format your code properly and you'd see the issue immediately

config and everything after it is inside loc_txt

[worthy stirrup]

omfg, i am an idiot, i do need to format it

thank you so much

Okay, two things, am i able to hide the "Crypto Jokers" tag when you hover over the joker, and how do i change only the sell price but not buy price

[solar eagle]

i believe the crypto jokers tag is just the name of ur mod

sell but not buy, not sure? it might be a joker property

[worthy stirrup]

i know, there is a setting to hide them in game but im sure not everyone plays with that on

[frosty dock]

yeah so?

let players choose if they want to see it

if they want it for other mods, chances are they want it for yours too

[worthy stirrup]

the whole point of this one joker is to look like the vanilla blueprint

its a scammer card

[frosty dock]

ok

you can set no_mod_badges = true on the joker

[worthy stirrup]

thank you

[sturdy compass]

Ok back to the grindstone. Now that Lovely 0.7 is out, how exactly do I set an SMODs file as a target?

[frosty dock]

=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]

[sturdy compass]

Sick, thank ya

Huh

I replaced the version.dll last night but idk if there's anything more I need to do

[pulsar flower]

is there something like hiker permanent chips but for mult?

not something i'm particularly excited to implement if it doesn't already exist in smods or something

[sturdy compass]

It does not exist. I also wanted something like that and had to do that myself

[pulsar flower]

aw

how'd you do it?

[worthy stirrup]

okay, ive worked up this, how could I make the little tab that joker has appear

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local other_joker = nil
      for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1] 
        end
      end
        if other_joker and other_joker ~= card and other_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat then
          card.ability.blueprint_compat = 'compatible'
      else
          card.ability.blueprint_compat = 'incompatible'
      end

    return {
      message = "Scammed!"
    }
  end
}

[zenith ridge]

I'm inclined to say rare.

Have you tested what happens if you have two in your slots and they activate at the same time?

[sturdy compass]

Honestly just a few patches. I created a new variable in the Card object definition and then included that variable in get_chip_mult. The rest of what I did was making it visible in the card description via localization and more patches to playing_card loc_vars

[violet void]

Only the first one is destroyed

But I've nerfed it a bit

[pulsar flower]

i'd keep it rare and without the hand penalty

hm if you have multiple then it could be an issue yeah

[pulsar flower]

oh, that's simpler than i imagined

i was thinking i'd have to mess with card calculation which sounds like a pain since bettercalc exists

[tight thistle]

speaking of mod badges, is there a way to add extra modded badges to jokers? i want to label the Jimbus Company jokers under "Sinner, Canto I, Canto II, Canto V, etc."

[violet void]

its only -1 while you keep it so its a nice tradeoff

[pulsar flower]

ohhhhhh

i see yeah that's nice

[runic radish]

i have some fun joker ideas if anyone wants them

[frosty dock]

🤔

[foggy carbon]

First time I'm actually asking for balancing help

My plan for this joker is, every 10 rounds, the joker creates a Blueprint or Brainstorm, and then doubles the number of rounds that it takes before generating the next one.

Is this reasonable for a rare, or should I attach a probability? Does the answer change if the generated jokers are negative?

[pulsar flower]

sounds like it stops being worth it after the first one and even then 10 rounds is a really long time

[frosty dock]

if it's not a negative, I could reason with it being uncommon

[worthy stirrup]

how does blueprint do the little tab thing with it being compatitble, i cant find how its done, im looking through the code

[zenith ridge]

That looks good.

[runic radish]

maybe make it "Every round, has a 1/20 chance of making a blueprint" and call it the "Designer" or "The architect"

10 rounds is 3 whole antes

[pulsar flower]

now it sounds possibly busted

feels like really hard to balance

[runic radish]

could also give it a stupid hard unlock condition

[wintry brook]

You just need to make sure you either stop the tag from happening during a game state that doesn’t work, or force the game state into one that does work

[frosty dock]

I'd say uncommon and self-destructs to create a blueprint or brainstorm after 10 rounds

[runic radish]

like "have 3 blueprints"

[worthy stirrup]

oh sweet jesus

[zenith ridge]

Have two negative blueprints or brainstorms?

[sturdy compass]

It's moreso the aftermath I'm concerned about since I don't want to return to the previous game state

[runic radish]

maybe, makes a blue print ever ante, has a 1/3 chance of self destructing each round

[foggy carbon]

ooh, I like that one

[sturdy compass]

I replaced the version.dll last night, but is there anything more I've gotta do? Or am I just straight up doing this wrong lol

[runic radish]

could try to blast through with tags, and stuff, but that also has a downside inherent

[frosty dock]

yeah you didn't put quotes around it

target = '=[SMODS _ "src/game_object.lua"]'

[sturdy compass]

oh lmao

[runic radish]

or maybe "Consumes $5 every round, after consuming $25, creates a blueprint"

tie it in to another mechanic

god if you get that as a rental that'd be brutal

[foggy carbon]

I'm making jokers based on characters and this was supposed to be one based on Gadget from Rescue Rangers. Good with tech so builds things

[zenith ridge]

Still worth it.

[runic radish]

Yuri Joker: x1 multiplier for each queen played a hand (2 queens -> x2 multiplier)

[zenith ridge]

At least my first attempt at making a joker taught me how to crash the game on a card trigger condition through a joker.

[runic radish]

wait. that's really funny

[zenith ridge]

Card = self in the if seems to do it.

[runic radish]

"antimatter card." turns the leftmost joker negative at the end of the turn. Has a 1/100 chance of removing all cards from your deck each round

[foggy carbon]

I'd say make it so that each queen gives +1 mult for every queen played.

So if you play two queens, each one gives +2 mult.

If you play three, each one gives +3. etc.

[runic radish]

each hand

[worthy stirrup]

what is main_end in blueprint

[outer dew]

Trying not to bug since I leave and rejoin this server all the time to not clutter stuff up 😭
this is a basic question, how to I refer to my own modded cards when doing create_card

if context.selling_self and card.ability.extra.examplevar > 24 then
local new_card = create_card('ExampleName', SMODS.Joker, nil,nil,nil,nil,'examplekey')
new_card:add_to_deck()
G.jokers:emplace(new_card)
new_card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)

I assumed it'd be this

[wintry solar]

I am so glad I thought of adding target lines to patch into

[outer dew]

everything else in the code works, like if I just spawned a normal joker it would work fine

but I wanna spawn in another custom card

[cerulean rose]

no, you should use SMODS.add_card

[worthy stirrup]

okay, i know im doing it wrong, i dont know what im doing wrong, i just need a bit of point in the right direction

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    card.ability.blueprint_compat_ui = card.ability.blueprint_compat_ui or ''; card.ability.blueprint_compat_check = nil
    local other_joker = nil
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
      if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1] 
      end
    end
      if other_joker and other_joker ~= card and other_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat then
        card.ability.blueprint_compat = 'compatible'
    else
        card.ability.blueprint_compat = 'incompatible'
    end

    return {
      
    }
  end
}

[outer dew]

could you give an example

[cerulean rose]

check the docs

[cerulean rose]

you need to add the ui element in loc_vars

[outer dew]

could you guide me there lol

is it pinned anywhere

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[outer dew]

ty

[worthy stirrup]

so, just move the code to loc_var or just put card.ability.blueprint_compat_ui?

[outer dew]

oh this is helpful actually

[cerulean rose]

check what blueprint does internally

[worthy stirrup]

half the code i stole from joker

blueprint

not joker

[cerulean rose]

check what blueprint does in loc_vars

[frosty dock]

means i get to break them, which is extra nice

[wintry solar]

cna't wait for someone to 'at' patch one

[worthy stirrup]

im actually so blind, i honestly cant find it, blueprint just doesnt look like it has one unless if its not under card.lua

[cerulean rose]

810

[worthy stirrup]

elseif self.ability.name == 'Blueprint' then

[cerulean rose]

good job you found it

[worthy stirrup]

thats the loc_var?

[cerulean rose]

yup

[worthy stirrup]

i thought there would be a loc_vars = {} near by

[cerulean rose]

remember to change self to card

[worthy stirrup]

i am so sorry for making it so much harder than it needed to be

[cerulean rose]

theres a bunch all around there

[sturdy compass]

oh how fun, a bunch of random patches I made just decided to stop working despite the lines not changing at all. cool. awesome

[gaunt thistle]

and you can find these names in dump/ if you want to target something else

[gaunt thistle]

sus

[sturdy compass]

This worked just fine before I updated to 0.7

It's more than just that one too. It's seemingly random which ones broke but they broke

[candid epoch]

i wonder how would balatro look like coded with brainfuck

[solar eagle]

i've created some custom hands but i can't figure out how to flag cards as able to score

    if #hand < 5 then return false end
        for i = 1, #hand - 4 do
            for j = i + 1, #hand - 3 do
                for k = j + 1, #hand - 2 do
                    for l = k + 1, #hand - 1 do
                        for m - l + 1, #hand do
                            local rank1 = hand[i]:get_id()
                            local rank2 = hand[j]:get_id()
                            local rank3 = hand[k]:get_id()
                            local rank4 = hand[l]:get_id()
                            local rank5 = hand[m]:get_id()
                            
                            local suit1 = hand[i].suit
                            local suit2 = hand[j].suit
                            local suit3 = hand[k].suit
                            local suit4 = hand[l].suit
                            local suit5 = hand[m].suit
                        
                            if (((suit1 == suit2) and (suit2 == suit3) and (suit3 == suit4) and (suit4 == suit5)) and (rank1 == 12 and rank2 == 12 and rank3 == 12 and rank4 == 12 and rank5 == 12)) {
                                return true, hand
                            }
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
        return false
    end,```
this is what i have for the evaluate (this one is intended to be a flush five, but for queens only). it detects the hand properly but none of the cards show as scoreable

[cerulean rose]

y'know i've thought about making a c compiler to brainfuck

[cerulean rose]

try returning just hand

[candid epoch]

and i am trying to make my own assembly language lmao

[solar eagle]

and on the same track, i've added a planet card for it:

    set = "Planet",
    name = "embertwin"
    key = "Ember Twin",
    effect = "Hand Upgrade",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
    atlas = "cards",
    config = { hand_type = "GreaterPolycule" },
    cost = 3,
    generate_ui = 0,
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Ember Twin"
    }
}```
but when i try to unlock this card to view it in mod additions, the game crashes with
`functions/common_events.lua:2915: attempt to index a nil value`
looking in the game's source reveals that common_events has no such line 2915 so i am pretty lost

[frosty dock]

you should return {hand}

[solar eagle]

ooh ok

[cerulean rose]

check the lovely dump

[frosty dock]

also hand[x].suit doesn't exist, it's hand[x].base.suit

[solar eagle]

oh noted

[worthy stirrup]

so sorry to bother again, but it should look like

  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = {card.ability.blueprint_compat_ui}}

[frosty dock]

also should return an empty table instead of false

[cerulean rose]

also this won't work for wild cards

[solar eagle]

this is true

is there a good way to check if a card is wild?

[cerulean rose]

copy what's there and replace self with card

[solar eagle]

i assume there is

[cerulean rose]

use SMODS.has_any_suit

[frosty dock]

you define the main_end i sent earlier (or some variation of it) and add main_end = main_end to the return table

[cerulean rose]

also you should check for rankless cards

[solar eagle]

lemme verify cards score first then ill set to checking wild n stuff

[cerulean rose]

SMODS.has_no_rank

[solar eagle]

the initial handling was more a proof of concept than anything

thank you all!!

[ionic verge]

how would i create a card with random enhancement, and potential for random editions and seals

[frosty dock]

the hand type needs to have your mod prefix here

[cerulean rose]

check what incantation/familiar/grim does

[gaunt thistle]

probably got hit by the patch order changes

[ionic verge]

currently i got this but i also dont know where to go from here

(copied from certificate)

[gaunt thistle]

you'll unfortunately just need to play around with it until you get something that works

[cerulean rose]

use SMODS.poll_enhancement

[frosty dock]

I just tried changing the priority on better_calc.toml back to -10 and it just worked? no failed patches

[sturdy compass]

What exactly got changed?

[solar eagle]

ahhhh

i was wondering about that

thank you again!

[ionic verge]

i presume that gives a random enhancement from all types?

[solar eagle]

should i do a dash or underscore?

or would it just be PREFIXGreaterPolycule

[frosty dock]

underscore

[solar eagle]

perfect

[solar eagle]

would i call this as a function - SMODS.has_any_suit(card) or is it a parameter card.has_any_suit

[ionic verge]

is this a Seattle based mod perchance?

[solar eagle]

the greater polycule name was a reference yes

[cerulean rose]

function

[solar eagle]

ty

[foggy carbon]

Wait, is this a queen-specific Flush Five?

[solar eagle]

Yes

the mod this is a part of is centered around queens

[worthy stirrup]

i feel so horrible annoying yall but i honestly am lost, i know i keep saying this but thank yall for yalls help. im gonna send the code in a message so i dont keep flooding chat

[solar eagle]

Mostly

[solar eagle]

yea same..

[worthy stirrup]

I am probably over looking something small

[solar eagle]

what's the goal of the joker exactly?

[worthy stirrup]

look exactly like the joker

its a scam card

NOT JOKER

fuck

blueprint

[solar eagle]

and then it just doesn't work? or something else

cool idea tho!!

[foggy carbon]

pretends to be blueprint, fakes you into buying it, announces the scam when you try to score

[solar eagle]

thats really funny

[worthy stirrup]

i just need the little compatible tab to show up

[cerulean rose]

main_end is not defined

put the code you copied from 810 into loc_vars

[foggy carbon]

you're gonna hate me, Flote, but https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1288504280239575061 exists and might be something you need to take into account

[ionic verge]

something like this?

[worthy stirrup]

sobbing

[cerulean rose]

card:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement())

[ionic verge]

mmm

[cerulean rose]

SMODS methods will never be : accessed

[ionic verge]

got it

[worthy stirrup]

okay, so like this

im brb, i need a drink

[cerulean rose]

should be

well the scammed part won't work

[worthy stirrup]

which part is the scammed part, i think i removed what ur talking about

[ionic verge]

alright now how do i have it set an edition and a seal

[worthy stirrup]

game crashes when i hover over it

[ionic verge]

like this for editions?

[sturdy compass]

I'm really confused on how that would even happen, as I hardly use regex search in my lovely.toml and I'm positive I set my priority to go off after Steamodded

[worthy stirrup]

okay, it no longer crshes

but...

heres the code

[cerulean rose]

prolly cus u only set compatible/incompatible on calculate

[worthy stirrup]

oh, how do i make it so it checks when a card is moved

[cerulean rose]

just check on update

also blueprint is compatible with itself

[worthy stirrup]

so, just replace calculate with update?

[cerulean rose]

yeah

[elder vapor]

also blueprint_compat should be either true or false

not a string

[ionic verge]

uh oh
crashed when it was supposed to create a card

[frosty dock]

except for SMODS:load_mod_config() actually

[worthy stirrup]

thats how it is for the normal blueprint

[ionic verge]

lemme grab the card description real quick if that helps

[cerulean rose]

ig, but that's not exactly what i meant

[cerulean rose]

i meant you'll never do :SMODS

[cerulean rose]

if you want editions and seals to have that chance, you shouldn't pull from the enhanced pool

cus you'll get editions and seals there too

[ionic verge]

oh wait, wrong pull

[worthy stirrup]

when i changed it, it causes a crash

[ionic verge]

is there not a poll_edition?

[worthy stirrup]

UI error still appears

instead of the actual text

[cerulean rose]

there is

ur still calling poll_enhancement tho

[ionic verge]

just wasnt seeing it in utility functions

yeah i know

[cerulean rose]

its under the edition section

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition#edition-methods

[wintry solar]

I need to make a SMODS.poll_edition wrapper

[cerulean rose]

why

[zenith ridge]

What's the chance the card can be negative? If it's any higher than one-in-a-million it'd be great for fishing for better Baron builds.

[ionic verge]

same chance as any negative joker to my knowledge

[wintry solar]

because filling functions with nil is a pain

[worthy stirrup]

how do i fix the UI error

[zenith ridge]

Now just have to survive long enough to get a negative, strength it up to king, steel it, and get red seal on it.

And duplicate it a lot. So, stars still have to align.

[clear star]

First time working on a joker, formatting look good on this one?

[cerulean rose]

check blueprint more

the x at the bottom is lowercase

also descriptions generally don't end with a period

and scaling xmult jokers usually start at X1

[whole jungle]

X0 implies that it turns your mult to 0 🙂

[zenith ridge]

Looks fine. Looks like it'll scale fast though.

[zenith ridge]

Oh, you start and x0.

[ionic verge]

i dont like how this is in card.lua
same crash as before, any thoughts?

[zenith ridge]

Lowercase x looks out of place.

[clear star]

Look better?

[ionic verge]

(what guy is trying to do)

[zenith ridge]

Yeah, there.

[whole jungle]

It looks fine, but super strong. Probably want it to be a X0.01 or even smaller increase or something.

[clear star]

As for speed, what sounds like it'd be close to vanilla balance? something like 0.01? Maybe like half the speed of constellation?

[grave arch]

Hello! I need some help! Working on a mod and I'm a beginner

I'm trying to figure out how to create a new special color which switch between 2 colors like there is in the vanilla game (in the GIF). I would like to use this color for some Joker text.

I know how to create a simple color - I did like this (pinata is the name of the Joker and surprise the name of the color) :

local hooklc = loc_colour
function loc_colour(_c, _default)
    if not G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS then
        hooklc()
    end

    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.surprise = HEX("f0a8cc")

    if not G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS["pinata_color"] then
        G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS["pinata_color"] = {1, 0, 0}
    end

    return hooklc(_c, _default)
end

Is there an easy way to create what I want? I'm looking into Balatro code but I can't find more informations. I know I can use {C:dark_edition} text {} (like in the GIF) but I want the colors to switch from red to pink (so I assume I need to create something new).

Thanks for your time, if you can help me!

[worthy stirrup]

yea, they look the same spare the self changed to card

[zenith ridge]

Probably playtest it with .01. Go for a build with a lot of retriggers.

[solar tide]

i have the same problem :(

[solar eagle]

if i'd like to have a spectral card have a chance to trigger an effect, how would i do that in a way that allows the die joker (oops all sixes?) to work?

[clear star]

Does something look better as orange or green? I assumed "attention" cause how sock depicts "face"

[solar eagle]

looking at the base game src i found this G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.ability.extra.odds but im not quite sure how this behaves

[worthy stirrup]

yea, i have them exactly the same, unless the error isnt the text but is in the loc_var instead

[solar eagle]

ohh i got it

G.GAME.probabilities.normal is the 1 in the 1 in 4 or 1 in 2

[ionic verge]

is there something wrong with this line of code?

[worthy stirrup]

i am so confused, my code looks exactly the same

[cerulean rose]

idk then

[worthy stirrup]

thank you for the help atleast

[ionic verge]

at the very least, im presuming the problem is this line
the game keeps crashing due to center being a nil value in some function in card.lua

specifically this one

at self:set_sprites

mmmm

ist crashing in set_ability

so its crashing at this line instead

[ionic verge]

so fucking real

[worthy stirrup]

I dont know what is causing Error UI

[ionic verge]

wait ok so how tf do i set up enhancements

cus there's no set_enhancements and set_ability seems to be weird

how do i set_ability right

[wintry solar]

wrap the poll_enhancement in G.P_CENTERS[--here--]

[ionic verge]

thank you

[worthy stirrup]

Ememel, i need ur magic

[ionic verge]

like this?

[wintry solar]

👍

[wintry solar]

what do you need?

[ionic verge]

same crash as before

[worthy stirrup]

it comes out ERROR UI and I cant figure out why

[ionic verge]

having to do with set ability being weird

[wintry solar]

oh I can't read, that's not how you use poll enhancement at all

[ionic verge]

great

[wintry solar]

it takes a table of args

[ionic verge]

mhm?

oh wait so like

{guaranteed = true}?

(if i just want the guaranteed thing)

[wintry solar]

ref-table should be card.ability I think

[wintry solar]

ye

[ionic verge]

so like this:

[wintry solar]

that looks better, yeah

[ionic verge]

yeah it worked

there might be another bug with other parts but it didnt crash in the same spot

[worthy stirrup]

any ideas for a ERROR UI

[wintry solar]

did you try this

[worthy stirrup]

oh, i thought that was for him

ill go ahead and give it a shot

[ionic verge]

now its crashing here, from presumably this block of code

ignoring set ability

[wintry solar]

it might require a key, I dont remember fully

[worthy stirrup]

omg how did i overlook that so many times

[rough furnace]

not sure where this code is run but if it's a smdos calc self:juice_up() should be card:juice_up()

[ionic verge]

good point

[wintry solar]

it looks like it's struggling with your pseudorandom calls

[ionic verge]

mhm?

[worthy stirrup]

YES< FINALLY

IT WORKS

thank you guys so much

[ionic verge]

whats the problem with them?

[wintry solar]

I dunno, but that's what on the line in your crash report

try throwing a key in your poll functions

[ionic verge]

well i set them to all have keys and it still crashed at the same point

[cerulean rose]

is there a way to determine the type of a game object?

[ionic verge]

or

[wintry solar]

can you send the full crash screen instead?

[ionic verge]

perhaps

theres key and type_key

[rough furnace]

Like at all or if it's a specific one?

[wintry solar]

you don't need type_key

[ionic verge]

ok

[cerulean rose]

ideally both

[wintry solar]

I mean you shouldn't need a key

I just don't see where the crash would originate from

[rough furnace]

You can do Object:is(ObjectType) for a specific one

iirc

e.g.

[ionic verge]

im trying something and if it doesnt work ill post the full crash log

ok yeah one sec

[wintry solar]

oh I am big 98%ing today

poll_edition isn't like the SMODS poll functions

[worthy stirrup]

should i do this or be using pseudorandom

    local randomIndex = math.random(1, #G.jokers.cards)
    local other_joker = G.jokers.cards[randomIndex]

[ionic verge]

i believe is psuedorandom is better

[dim steeple]

pseudorandom with a seed is deterministic

easier to test, validate etc

[rough furnace]

also means seeded runs are the same

[worthy stirrup]

so if i use pseudorandom, what card is picked is based on seed?

[dim steeple]

based on the seed, how many times the function has been called on the seed

[worthy stirrup]

okay, ill use pseudorandom

[dim steeple]

so if I did 3x psuedorandom, I might get something like 0.1, 0.4,0.7

if a start a new run on the same seed, that order will always be the same

determinism, even though not random, is super valuable

[ionic verge]

what's that mean?

[worthy stirrup]

if i wanted to grab a random joker, how would i use pseudorandom to get it, as it only makes 0 - 1, yes?

[wintry solar]

it doesn't take a table, it has individual arguments

[ionic verge]

multiply it by #G.jokers.cards

[worthy stirrup]

ohh

[ionic verge]

thats the amount of jokers you have

[rough furnace]

wouldn't you just use pseudorandom_element?

[ionic verge]

oh and apply math.ceil to it

or yeah that

thats much better

[clear star]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if
    -- Something triggers
    context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and 
    not context.other_card.debuff and 
    not context.blueprint
  then
    -- Increase XMULT
    card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_mod
    return {
      --  Notify upgrade?
      message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
      colour = G.C.CHIPS,
      card = card
    }
  end
  if context.joker_main then
    -- Joker Scores
    return {
      -- Give Score
      message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } },
      colour = G.C.MULT,
      Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult
  }
  end
end

Why is this not giving me an upgrade popup when it upgrades?

Relevant part being:

then
    -- Increase XMULT
    card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_mod
    return {
      --  Notify upgrade?
      message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
      colour = G.C.CHIPS,
      card = card
    }
  end

[ionic verge]

ah

[clear star]

Supposed to be functioning like castle?

But not doing castle's thing for this trigger.

[wintry solar]

message_card = card

[clear star]

Also, while I'm here, is there a dedicated ref table?

[wintry solar]

can also reduce your joker_main return to just

return {
  xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
}```

[clear star]

Do that still do the popup?

[wintry solar]

yes

[clear star]

then
  -- Increase XMULT
  card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_mod
  return {
    --  Notify upgrade?
    message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
    colour = G.C.MULT,
    message_card = card
  }
end

So this should work?

[wintry solar]

should do yeah

[runic radish]

card idea: Estrogen Pill, turns all face cards into queens when scored

[solar eagle]

what would cause the crash attempt to index local 'card' (a number value), in relation to src/utils.lua:829 with adding an enhancement? 829 is if card.config.center.key ~= "c_base" and not extra_only then but im not sure what this is doing

my config is as so:

        extra = {
            chips = 20,
            x_chips = 2,
            mult = 10,
            x_mult = 1.5,
            bigbucks = 10,
            count = 2
        }
    },```

they are intentionally not applied in the base config value

[wintry solar]

how are you adding the enhancement?

[solar eagle]

via a tarot card

[wintry solar]

I mean the code...

[solar eagle]

oh sorry

    set = "Tarot",
    name = "Spironolactone",
    key = "spironolactone",
    effect = "Enhance",
    order = 23,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = {
        mod_conv = "TWT_luckshit",
        max_highlighted = 2
    },
    cost = 3,
    atlas = "cards",
    loc_txt = {
         name = "Spironolactone",
         text = { "Enhances {C:attention}2{} selected cards to {C:attention}Luckshit Cards{}" },
     },
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return #G.hand.highlighted < 3 and #G.hand.highlighted > 0
    end,
    can_bulk_use = true,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do --flips cards
            local percent = 1.15 - (i-0.999)/(#G.hand.highlighted-0.998)*0.3
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.15,func = function() G.hand.highlighted[i]:flip();play_sound('card1', percent);G.hand.highlighted[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);return true end }))
        end
        delay(0.2)
        for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do --enhances cards
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function() G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.consumeable.mod_conv]);return true end }))
        end 
        for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do --unflips cards
            local percent = 0.85 + (i-0.999)/(#G.hand.highlighted-0.998)*0.3
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.15,func = function() G.hand.highlighted[i]:flip();play_sound('tarot2', percent, 0.6);G.hand.highlighted[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);return true end }))
        end
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2,func = function() G.hand:unhighlight_all(); return true end })) --unselects cards
        delay(0.5)
    end
}```
this is my tarot card code, mostly ripped from the balatro source

i have similar code set up to convert cards to queens which is working

but this is not and im not quite sure why

[runic radish]

Joker idea: Color Coded, adds blue seal to clubs, purple seal to spades, red seal to hearts, and gold seal to diamonds when discarded, disables cards with seals that don't match

[clear star]

This change did not provide me with that crisp upgrade pop up

[wintry solar]

smods version?

[wintry solar]

update smods

oh

that's old calc

you should develop on new calc

[solar eagle]

why?

i've been happy with old calc

[clear star]

My group plays a bunch of mods on old calc, the intention was to add to the modpack

[wintry solar]

because it's old and won't be supported

[solar eagle]

when does this occur

and how would i migrate

the docs all show old calc still.

[wintry solar]

there's a specific calculate functions doc that is entirely better calc

[solar eagle]

i'm confused then

[wintry solar]

but if people want to stay on an old build, they can feel free

[solar eagle]

this is new calc?

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

this is new calc

[solar eagle]

yeah that's where i got it

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
if on an SMODS.Enhancement, is this old calc or new? i am not sure at this point

[wintry solar]

that's old calc

new calc uses the calculate functions page on every object

no more jank depending on what you're working on

[solar eagle]

im so confused

[wintry solar]

no more having to check which variation of xmult, x_mult, x_mult_mod etc you need

[solar eagle]

im trying to follow the documentation but apparently its not consistent in itself???

[worthy stirrup]

i thought i was done with the scam card, but no, now it crashes on the catalogue

[wintry solar]

the other pages haven't been updated yet

but if you are calculating on new calc, the above page is all you need

[worthy stirrup]

crash log

[solar eagle]

this is incredibly annoying im gonna be real

[worthy stirrup]

it only crashes when you view it in the catalog, i assume because its trying to grab the joker next to it, how do i make it not do that

code if needed ^

[solar eagle]

what exactly do i define on my enhancement then

[wintry solar]

this

[solar eagle]

and then i just check the context?

ok

will try

[worthy stirrup]

how can i check if its in a game, because it tries to check next joker while its in the cataloug

[solar eagle]

check the cardarea i think

[wintry solar]

do you need to use an update function?

[worthy stirrup]

id prefer if i can do it only when a card is moved

[wintry solar]

this will be called every frame, you can just call it in loc_vars so it runs when you hover

[worthy stirrup]

so, is there just a way to do it only when a card is moved

[cerulean rose]

crashes

[wintry solar]

it's UI, you only need to do it when you hover the card

[worthy stirrup]

so just, replace it with what, or just move that part of the code to loc_var

[wintry solar]

move it to loc_vars, yeah

and also put a check for G.jokers in there

or the area check you already have

[worthy stirrup]

okay, so now its like this

[wintry solar]

you might get a main_end doesn't exist crash there

[worthy stirrup]

okay, it works but now instead of red and green, its just grey

and i think its safe to say, its not normally gray

[rough furnace]

you need to check if is exists

[wintry solar]

move the main_end = ... after you set the compat_ui maybe?

[solar eagle]

        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            print(card.ability.extra.x_chips)
            print("luckshit")
            local randcount = {}
            math.randomseed("luckshit")

would this then be correct? or no

sry for wall lol

i dont know how to force discord to use message.txt

[wintry solar]

you don't need any of the message = ... in the scoring returns, but it should work yeah

I can't see anything obviously wrong

[solar eagle]

does newcalc auto do that?

[wintry solar]

yup

[solar eagle]

handy, though if i manually return does that override

misspelled "xchips" i think

[wintry solar]

if you manually return I think it stacks, you can override using a couple of different ways

[solar eagle]

what im doing should be fine for option 6 since it otherwise does nothing

[wintry solar]

yes option 6 is fine

[worthy stirrup]

thankfully no crash but no color

[wintry solar]

I think your check to avoid duplicate effects should be while randcount[1] == rand do btw

[solar eagle]

i dont want it to index out of bounds

[wintry solar]

wait actually this won't get more than one effect

[solar eagle]

why not

[wintry solar]

because you return in the first pass through

[solar eagle]

oh wait

true

i know how to fix this

[wintry solar]

you can replace return with SMODS.calculate_effect({table from return}, card)

[solar eagle]

that works too

[wintry solar]

or add them to a local table and return at the end

[solar eagle]

yea that was my idea

[rough furnace]

||SMODS.eval_this||

[solar eagle]

what does table from return do?

or what would i substitute

[rough furnace]

substitute the table you were returning

[clear star]

then
  -- Increase XMULT
  card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_mod
  return {
    --  Notify upgrade?
    message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
    colour = G.C.MULT,
    message_card = card
  }
end

So updating changed this to function, but it's currently putting the upgrade on the playing card, but I want it on the joker. What am I missing?

[wintry solar]

I think the blueprint_compat check is checking your atually blueprint like card rather than the copied one

[solar eagle]

i am confused sorry do you have an example snippet?

[wintry solar]

like SMODS.calculate_effect({chips = 10}, card)

[solar eagle]

oooooh got it

thank you!

[wintry solar]

to explain it, the table that you normally return get's plugged into this function later on, so you can do it manually too

[solar eagle]

i seeee

thank you so much!

[cerulean rose]

when this gets called on a center object it doesn't work

[rough furnace]

I don't belive vanilla centers are objects

I would personally justy only allow one type of data

[cerulean rose]

i have an entry that is the standard pack pool

[solar eagle]

if i wish to create a boss blind that does things to played cards (convert suit, change rank, etc) what context would i check for?

[wintry solar]

boss blinds use different functions to apply their effects

[solar eagle]

ooh ok lemme look at the docs then

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Blind they should be covered here

[solar eagle]

modify_hand(self, cards, poker_hands, text, mult, hand_chips) -> number, number, bool
so i'd want to do this, return the base mult, chips, etc etc but mess with the cards then

thank you again!

[worthy stirrup]

That’s pretty funny, but how do I fix this

[wintry solar]

you can throw the other card in the reftable of it

[wintry solar]

if you need some examples, take a look at ortalab

I've done ~30 blinds in there

[clear star]

Where on the wiki is the reference to message stuff. All I can find is "If you return message_card" but that doesn't really help me figure out what I can flag as the message target.

[solar eagle]

can i just access cards as an array of the played cards?

will check out ty!

[wintry solar]

yes

[solar eagle]

thank you so much

seriously

[weak brook]

hey eremel

trying to reference your ortalab code for a deck and its not working for some reason, not sure why

first off,
config = { hand_size = -1 },

this doesnt work

dunno why

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.probabilities) do
                G.GAME.probabilities[k] = v * 2
            end
            return true
        end
    }))
end```

and this doesnt work either

did something change or am i just doing something wrong? seems liek this is the way to change hand_size and change other values on starting a run

[wintry solar]

those look correct to me

[weak brook]

yeah but for some reason neither result is happening in game

[wintry solar]

huh

[weak brook]

probabilities are the same, and my deck size is still 8

yeah

[wintry solar]

are you definitely editing the correct deck?

[weak brook]

yeah

[rough furnace]

and saved the fikle

[weak brook]

oh wait

i had the name value unchanged from a copy patse of a previous deck

but i didnt think that would change it, lemme see if it did

not the id, just this name value

huh. that was it

didnt realize the names were that important damn

sorry bout that

[solar eagle]

https://github.com/GauntletGames-2086/Ortalab-DEMO
this? or somewhere else

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Eremel/Ortalab/blob/master/objects/blinds.lua this one

[frosty dock]

i think voucher calc is about ready

[grave arch]

[solar eagle]

ooooh ok thank you!
unrelated, how would i display probabilty properly? like how cavendish is 1 in 1000 chance, wheel of fortune is 1 in 4

i looked at the examples moddedvanilla which has reimplemented gros michel and cavendish

      "{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult",
      "{C:green}#2# in #3#{} chance this",
      "card is destroyed",
      "at end of round"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = { mult = 15, odds = 6 } },```
these do not behave how i expect though, unless im misinterpreting what `#n#` does?

because #1# would be config.extra.mult, but then #2# is config.extra.odds
though for this to function, this has to be #3#

[wintry solar]

the #1# refers to the values you return in loc_vars

[solar eagle]

OHHHHHHHHHH

now i feel stupid

[frosty dock]

nvm now it's ready. i didn't realize i was eating a patch target by changing observatory to context.other_consumeable

(yes that means you get repeated mult if you somehow find yourself in a situation where you redeemed two observatories)

why? because that means it's compatible with planets that have their own calculation that's independent of observatory

[wintry solar]

I think that's a logicaly expectation of having multiple observatories

[rough furnace]

retrigger observatory

[frosty dock]

it really is, but it's never worked this way 🤪

[cerulean rose]

i'm trying to create a custom pool like cryptid's meme pack but modded cards aren't being added?

SMODS.current_mod.clubs = {
    SMODS.Centers.j_pencil_lass,
    SMODS.Centers.j_pencil_eclipse,
    SMODS.Centers.j_pencil_club,
}
if SMODS.Mods.YART and SMODS.Mods.YART.can_load then
    table.insert(SMODS.current_mod.clubs, SMODS.Centers.c_yart_rmoon)
end
SMODS.ObjectType({
    key = "clubs_pack",
    default = "j_gluttenous_joker",
    cards = {},
    inject = function(self)
        SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self)
        -- insert base game meme jokers
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_gluttenous_joker)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_blackboard)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_onyx_agate)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_seeing_double)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.c_moon)
        for i, v in ipairs(SMODS.Mods.StrangePencil.clubs) do
            self.cards[v] = true
        end
    end
})

[solar eagle]

how would i display the colors for planet cards?

looking at cryptid's src it returns an array colours but im not sure how to apply this

like the (lvl.1)

color that applies to lvl.1

or 2, 3, etc etc

[frosty dock]

you should set pools on the objects you're trying to add instead?

though i think this should work if you've defined the jokers you're trying to add first

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/421

[frosty dock]

can i get a quick review on this?

[cerulean rose]

i think that makes sense

each observatory procs X1.5 on the planet card

[frosty dock]

no i'm saying i want a review on the pr

[rare bobcat]

For doing a lovely patch, do you need code before or after or can you do just the code for the patch?

[solar eagle]

        local levelone = G.GAME.hands["TWT_Polycule"].level or 1
        local planetcolourone = G.C.HAND_LEVELS[math.min(levelone, 7)]
        if levelone == 1 then
            planetcolourone = G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK
        end
        return {
            vars = {
                localize("TWT_Polycule"),
                G.GAME.hands["TWT_Polycule"].level,
                G.GAME.hands["TWT_Polycule"].l_mult,
                G.GAME.hands["TWT_Polycule"].l_chips,
                colours = { planetcolourone },
            },
        }
    end```
are there any mistakes im making here? game crashes with `attempt to index field 'TWT_Polycule' (a nil value)` at `local levelone = G.GAME.hands["TWT_Polycule"].level or 1`
leveling code is ripped from cryptid so it might not work for my case

but im not quite sure how to do it

[rare bobcat]

can target = "back.lua" pattern = "({localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_tarot_merchant', set = 'Voucher'}, localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_planet_merchant', set = 'Voucher'}," position = 'at' payload = "{localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_tarot_merchant', set = 'Voucher'}, localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_planet_merchant', set = 'Voucher'}, localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_overstock_norm', set = 'Voucher'}}" be the whole code?

That shouldn’t be saved as overstock norm

I don’t think

Irrelevant for what I need

[solar eagle]

or do i not need to define custom leveling code at all?

[orchid thunder]

im trying to create a new object type for a mod @proper stratus is making but i dont knwo what im doing wrong can someone help
they get applied kinda like seals

@ me when responding

[placid frigate]

hey i tried making a modded challenge and it's not showing up in game

[wintry solar]

Looks good from a look through the code, I'll just do a quick test

it crashes on decks that apply vouchers

[worthy stirrup]

just got back to this, instead of ref_table = card, would it be ref_table = other_joker,

[wintry solar]

mhmm

[frosty dock]

i thought i accounted for that, guess i didn't test it?

[wintry solar]

oh that message positioning is unexpected

the calc works fine though

[frosty dock]

oh I see, the area doesn't fucking exist yet

[wintry solar]

it tries to emplace before the area exists

curse my one handed typing

that's fine! I'm not 100% on this, I've not played around with blueprint like effects yet, though it looks like you set main_end twice here, and the second time isn't udpated

so i found lovely but where would one find steamodded

[rare bobcat]

google

wow how did i miss that

man i need a youtube video

i do NOT know what this means

i suggest moving to #⚙・modding-general

[solar eagle]

granted, i am very new to this server but i think this channel is generally mod dev?

[frosty dock]

🥴 this works now but it does a weird animation when buying vouchers from the shop

[solar eagle]

ok i dont know at this point

[frosty dock]

i guess i do the event only when the area doesn't exist yet?

[wintry solar]

yeah I guess so

[worthy stirrup]

im gonna eat dinner and come back to this

why would this line break saying that it attempted to index a nil value
its a defined hand and ive added the prefix

am i accessing the wrong dict?

[wintry solar]

are deck jokers/consumables delayed in events?

might be easier to just wrap the voucher application in a similar event

[frosty dock]

oh i see

challenges actually do just that

but decks don't

[wintry solar]

there are also 2 identical blocks in apply_to_run on decsk for vouchers

oh wai tno I cant read

there's voucher and vouchers

thunk pls

[solar eagle]

consumeable

[rare bobcat]

I've tried some things and it still isn't working

[wintry solar]

thats not how a toml file should be structured

[solar eagle]

pattern = "localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'},"
is the comma right before the end intentional?

[tender gale]

I'm pretty sure they don't use headers anymore

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata I think this is the replacement for that

[weary jungle]

how do i dictionary

[rare bobcat]

I’m just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks tbh

[solar eagle]

you know fair

i am too

localization is annoying

[rare bobcat]

I just want easier perkeobservatory

And other stuff

Once I get this working then everything else should be the same and I just copy that

[frosty dock]

alright, seems to work properly now. anything else you noticed?

[frosty dock]

yeah that's just not valid lua

[solar eagle]

im fucking stupid

i have to lowercase it

[frosty dock]

btw why is this a reverse array

[rare bobcat]

Real

[solar eagle]

TWT_polycule

printed out the list of all valid hands

and theres

Full House
Flush
TWT_polycule

and my dumbass put TWT_Polyclue

[rare bobcat]

The amount of times I’ve misspelled variables is assive

[frosty dock]

that's nothing compared to editing lovely dumps

[solar eagle]

yeah

[wintry solar]

Just the jank message placement

[solar eagle]

"why isnt the mult applying?"

typed "xxult" instead of "xmult"

[rare bobcat]

As I’ve said before, my mod’s first word was timmeh

[wintry solar]

It seems to spin randomly too, is that some discard card area jank?

[frosty dock]

lemme see about that

spinning randomly is discard area jank for sure

[tender gale]

How would I code a shortcut-like joker that allows you to play an Ace straight that wraps around? eg JQKA2

[wintry solar]

I guess the discard calculation has the same issue too then? Probably should align the discard area in that case

You’ve set your main lua file out like a lovely patch file?

                            return true

                        func = function()
                            ease_dollars(math.random(1,2))

                    })) ````
i  made that actually but all gold give at the same time,  and i want delay that

[weary jungle]

then add this function,

    local waitTill = PREFIXstart + time
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',func = function()
        return (love.timer.getTime() > (waitTill))
    end }))  
    return true
end```

and put a wait() inbetween the events, and it should work

[solar tide]

the time will be in seconds ?

[rare bobcat]

I am wondering what’s next for my son

[weary jungle]

yes

keep me updated, im like 70% sure this works

[fair comet]

hey guys, any good resources to get into modding Balatro? I'd like to try my hand at it.

[solar eagle]

i have been stuck for so long only to realize lua indexes start at

fucking 1

not 0

[rare bobcat]

Fuck around and find out is what I’m doing

[weary jungle]

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

[solar tide]

Thanks i'm gonna say to u :)

[fair comet]

thanks that's what I was looking for 🙂

[frosty dock]

i am confused as to why these are off the screen

[rare bobcat]

Do I have to commit sci-fi crimes to get my son’s dna fixed?

[primal robin]

All fine, it's definitely not a problem

[frosty dock]

i do still have the trick of just aligning them to something else

them being the messages

[rare bobcat]

I’ve run out of Chevelle references that don’t make me sound too much like a maniac

[frosty dock]

I'm not fully sure where though

[weary jungle]

oh this is gonna be a NIGHTMARE to unravel

[rare bobcat]

My son is a simple lovely patch but he is not working

A solid 5 lines

[weary jungle]

add prints

aways fixes everything

whats wrone with the code?

[dim steeple]

Thoughts on this?

[rare bobcat]

fire

target = "back.lua"
pattern = "localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'}, -1}"
position = 'at'
payload = "localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'}, localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_observatory', set = 'Voucher'} -1}"```

[weary jungle]

also, Xmult should be in a {X:mult,C:white}{}

[rare bobcat]

Oh hey it’s the jimbo records guy

[weary jungle]

but its really an aesthetic choice

[solar tide]

it doesnt work

[rare bobcat]

How would that work with oa6

[solar tide]

its gives gold at the same time

[rare bobcat]

Is it just immune?

[nova finch]

Can anyone help?
I'm trying to make a joker where when the first discard is a two pair it upgrades Xmult and destroys the cards but remove = true isn't working for destroying the cards

[rare bobcat]

What do the aces do?

[dim steeple]

They do the same effect as death on a random card in hand when played

[dim steeple]

essentially, you get to keep it in your hand

[weary jungle]

well... thats all i know/can do

sorry

[zenith ridge]

I don't understand what this means or how to apply it.

[frosty dock]

maybe i move it higher up and/or add some distinction between discard and voucher

[sturdy compass]

Guh

[rare bobcat]

I am genuinely tweaking rn

[dim steeple]

is it an invalid JSON?

[sturdy compass]

I'm not even trying to access that tho???

[dim steeple]

but you need it...

Here's my json:

    "id": "Balatro++",
    "name": "Balatro++",
    "author": [
        "MrFletch"
    ],
    "description": "A custom version of Balatro with a few extra features.",
    "prefix": "btp",
    "main_file": "btpmain.lua",
    "priority": 0,
    "badge_colour": "#378065",
    "badge_text_colour": "FFFFFF",
    "display_name": "Balatro++",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "dependencies": [
        "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1217c)",
        "Lovely (>=0.6)"
    ],
    "conflicts": [],
    "provides": [],
    "dump_loc": false
}```

[primal robin]

Or just ```lua
G.E_MANAGER:add_event({
timer = "REAL", -- !!!
trigger = "after",
delay = 5, -- In real seconds
func = function() return true end
})

[rare bobcat]

target = "back.lua"
pattern = "localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'}, -1}"
position = 'at'
payload = "localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'}, localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_observatory', set = 'Voucher'} -1},"``` what the fuck am i doing wrongg

[sturdy compass]

The json it's mad about is not the mod metadata, it's a settings.json file for the VSC environment (which lovely should even need to look at???????????)

[dim steeple]

it reads every json

[wintry solar]

This looks good

[dim steeple]

set your settings.json on the dir above

[frosty dock]

tried this just now, maybe it's a little too much

[primal robin]

Why not just hardcode some jsons or not check nested folders? Why it's checks every json in mod?

[frosty dock]

I'd like different positionings for discard and voucher though

[frosty dock]

maybe this for discard and another same distance for voucher?

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think that’ll do for now, might have a play around with it tomorrow

[frosty dock]

that puts it about here

[rare bobcat]

I feel myself getting mad about needing help so I’m going to take a break

[frosty dock]

also yes it juices the deck

[weary jungle]

does gros mitchel and other related jokers go extinct when you lose?

[gaunt thistle]

you should probably use a pattern patch instead of regex

[dim steeple]

Why not try encapsuling your code in triple quotes ''' then remove the trailing comma at the end?

target = "back.lua"
pattern = "localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'}, -1}"
position = 'at'
payload = '''localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'}, localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_observatory', set = 'Voucher'} -1}'''```

[gaunt thistle]

the comma will make a difference but the triple quotes will not

[solar eagle]

is pseudorandom a function i can call in my mod?

[zenith ridge]

    key = 'Jokers',
    path = 'Jokers.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'joker2',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Nice',
        text = {
            'Retrigger each',
            'played {C:attention}6{} and {C:attention}9{}',
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    blueprint_compat = true,

    

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.individul and (
            context.other_card:get_id() == 6 or
            context.other_card:get_id() == 9) then
                return{
                    message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                    repetitions = self.ability.extra,
                    card = card
                }
        end

    end,

    

    config = { extra = { repetitions = 1 } },

}

I still can't get this thing to retrigger. Ali gave me the line

self.ability.extra > card.ability.extra.repetitions

but I really don't know how to apply that.

[dim steeple]

Honestly, I just use it for speech mark/apostrophe sanity

[frosty dock]

yes

[solar eagle]

ok perfect

let me switch to that

[frosty dock]

general rule of thumb, don't use self in calculate code

[solar eagle]

use card instead i believe?

[frosty dock]

it refers to the card prototype ("center") and not the card itself

[zenith ridge]

Mmmmmmmm good to know.

[nova finch]

anyone that can help?

[rare bobcat]

Still not working

[sturdy compass]

I guess the question I'm trying to ask here is why is a .json that has nothing to do with my mod, but my IDE, preventing this patch?

[frosty dock]

hm i guess my thing is mergeable now with the messages aligned and all

[dim steeple]

Describe what you're trying to do?

[gaunt thistle]

what's the loc you're trying to patch?

[dim steeple]

it looks like the thing your patching is just setting values in a local variables array

[rare bobcat]

Add observatory to nebula deck

[dim steeple]

but whatever is reading those local variables might not be looking at the extra index added

[dim steeple]

what you did doesn't do that

[rare bobcat]

What is it doing?

and woudl [patches.pattern] target = "back.lua" pattern = "localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_telescope', set = 'Voucher'}, -1}" position = 'after' payload = '''localize{type = 'name_text', key = 'v_observatory', set = 'Voucher'} -1}''' work any better?

[dim steeple]

you're looking for this line in game.lua

        b_nebula=           {name = "Nebula Deck",      stake = 1, unlocked = false,order = 7, pos =  {x=3,y=0}, set = "Back", config = {voucher = 'v_telescope', consumable_slot = -1}, unlock_condition = {type = 'win_deck', deck = 'b_blue'}},
...```
