oh that one you can actually take ownership of blue seal i think?
rare bobcat
this is what im trying to do
Nice art
frosty dock
hm actually you'd have a hard time telling whether the blue seal filled up your slot or if they were already full to begin with
so maybe you do patch get_end_of_round_effect

you look at the code for blue seal, find a (preferably unique) target that you can use for your patch, and go from there

with an enhancement, what would cause the game to crash with card.lua:256: attempt to index local 'center" (a nil value) when applying?

this is the code that applies the enhancement, which i believe is ok since i took it from the base game's srcwell there's nothing here to destroy the cards

sturdy compass
Alright new weird issue. After updating SMODs this joker stopped working. This worked just fine a couple weeks ago and I guess it stopped recently. I put a debug message under the contexts and it didn't fire, so my guess is something changed with the retriggering contexts?

yeah we made retriggering jokers an optional feature that you need to enable
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { retrigger_joker = true }

Ah how about that
ionic verge
how hard would it to set up a new context to use
@frosty dock can i have some input on this?
vagrant cedar
frosty dock
<@538635176847343636> can i have some input on this?
for most use cases you can just lovely patch in something like SMODS.calculate_context({ ... }) wherever you need it
should work just fine for this
ionic verge
is that in the utility functions page on github?
frosty dock
there's no complete docs on better calc features as of yet
frosty dock
i think the only trap you could run into is having your context trigger checks for a different context
ionic verge
mhm
frosty dock
but that's fairly easy to avoid by just making sure the context is different from anything that already exists
frosty dock
what's initSteamodded doing here
ionic verge
oh its not needed?
just thought it was important bc of the example thing over at lovely's github
frosty dock
no that's just the patch steamodded uses to plant itself into the startup routine of the game
frosty dock
duplicate calls of it probably make the game implode
ionic verge
noted
frosty dock
I'd go for something like this
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'card.lua'
match_indent = true
position = 'before'
pattern = '''if self.seal == 'Blue' and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit and not self.ability.extra_enhancement then'''
payload = '''if self.seal == 'Blue' and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer >= G.consumeables.config.card_limit and not self.ability.extra_enhancement then
SMODS.calculate_context({ blue_seal_failed = true, card = self })
end'''
oh so indent does actually matter
frosty dock
forgot a thing there, oops
frosty dock
oh so indent does actually matter

weary jungle
how do i get a random number between 1-3?
frosty dock
indent matters in that match_indent is a required field for pattern patches

'match_indent = true'
frosty dock
you can use match_indent = false but it probably makes your dumps look ugly
i use it sometimes when I have to work around not being able to outdent

take the random number generator, multiply by three, and take the ceiling of it

leaden wren
also if someone has an answer to this please ping me with it + try to explain it...
i haven't experimented with deck skin modding yet but if you're trying to use the steamodded one i wouldn't particularly recommend it
from first gleam that's like an actual amount of coding
there's frameworks to do it in a much easier fashion
that's probably more digestible
look into Malverk
this is the entire code for a malverk skin, for example
true quarry
dang that looks a lot simpler, where would i find malverk
leaden wren
true quarry
thanks a bunch
leaden wren
i don't entiiiirely understand how you use it to only overwrite one joker but you should be able to find a mod that does so somewhere in the discord
then just crib what it does
(if that's what you're trying to do, of course)
true quarry
(if that's what you're trying to do, of course)
does it work for the playing cards cus i'm trying to do it to cards specifically and not just jokers or something
also i assume overwriting one joker would just be pasting all the vanilla textures and then ur 1 edited joker on a sheet or something
though idk how that'd interact with other mods because i don't do this stuff often lol
leaden wren
not sure, i'd guess that it's moreso just putting it on the same place in the sheet then leaving the rest transparent
looking through the wiki quick
true quarry
where do u find the wiki, i should take a look at it too
leaden wren
there's none for malverk, i was looking at the smods wiki
but it turns out malverk isn't the right mod for this 
there's an Example folder on this mod page on how to make it compatible
true quarry
ahhh i see malverk is for the other stuff then, got it
i might still end up using it though at some point so that's fine
leaden wren
oh wow this one is Simple
so your mod directory should probably look like
assets
-1x
-2x

info.json (for steamodded)
and that should be it

this is the only source on it

something small
you're almost certainly fine
tender gale
Yeah that's what I meant
leaden wren
that's OSS babey
whole jungle
Is it okay to use code from other mods as reference if they have done something ...
Depends on the author, but... legally you're not getting in trouble
tender gale
I mean it'd be easier if I knew which file in Balatro contains the actual code for shortcut
It seems to be one of the most complicated Jokers if its effect is scattered throughout like ten different files
whole jungle
Do you have your environment setup?
tender gale
What does that mean (Sorry if this question sounds dumb)
whole jungle
The function you're looking for is get_straight in src/overrides.lua in SMODS and functions/misc_functions.lua from lovely
But, if you haven't downloaded those two yet, you won't find them 😛

I have them both, I've already begun coding my mod, it's just this Joker I'm trying to make

Can you patch out that code, or do you need to rewrite the function, though?

If you want the easy way to do it, just copy the get_straight function and remove the line of code that's stopping wrap-around if you have your joker

Which part stops wraparounds, also, will it work if I copy the function from Overrides

If you just copy the function from overrides, you'll be totally fine, but the line you're looking for is probably... if not next(vals) then break end
tender gale
I'm assuming it's line 191
whole jungle
Yeah. I think that line stops the search if you hit the last value in the list of ranks without finding a straight
I'm not a Lua dev, so I'm really stretching my programming knowledge, lol
tender gale
I just wrote some nonsense so i'll boot up balatro to see what the code doesn't like about it lol
Ok it worked up until I tried to discard a card
I mean i didn't manage to test if the function worked, it just didnt crah until then
whole jungle
Nice. It's always nice having things worrk until they don't!
tender gale
I found the problem, I wrote find.card instead of find_card
so far every mistake I've made has usually been some spelling error
I'm bad at typing lol
whole jungle
That does tend to be most of the errors for me, too
I'm too used to IDEs that stop me from making mistakes
tender gale
ok that wasn't it
It doesn't consider it a straight yet
judging by the shortcut and four finger code I'll have to add something, I just don't know what
whole jungle
No, removing that line isn't going to fix it. It'll need to have the ranks reset back to the original after that
Oh wait, maybe it should
cerulean rose

It's not a bad change, but it sadly doesn't work for me. I'm looking to add in a card that's any other type of card, and I had to rewrite the function to accommodate Rank wilds.

If you had 100 chips, then it would set that to 60 and gain 60 mult
I would say yes, definitely
random sleet

It's kinda like the one deck, but way less strong
tender gale
well with this, if you had 300 chips and 1 mult you would end up with 180 chips and 121 mult
whole jungle
Is it? You need to have a Chips build, and Chips builds are inherently less strong
tender gale
with plasma, you would have 150 chops and 150 mult, which I think is better
whole jungle
But, it does provide another avenue to make a chips build work
whole jungle
Yeah, but you go for mult builds with plasma
And the halving is done at the very end, which is a major contributer to it being strong

i thought that in most lua oop libraries you'd use something like c_number.super.__new(self, v)
instead of self:super(v)
wintry swallow
nah, this is my own
carmine burrow
makes sense
carmine burrow
instead of `self:super(v)`
what is c_number.super?
or self.super i would assume is the same
wintry swallow
oh that's a special value
wintry swallow
or `self.super` i would assume is the same
it's actually not
carmine burrow
wow
wintry swallow
self.super doesn't exist outside of the constructor
carmine burrow
i love lua
wintry swallow
i love lua so much
i need a proxy object here, actually
maybe even two
the weird functions (_unpack et al) are to maintain compatibility with every version of lua past 5.0 (which introduced metatables, which this uses to great effect)
carmine burrow
scary language imo. like at first i was like "wow this is really convenient and intuitive" and then every time i try to figure out how it works on a deeper level it's just The Horrors idk
javascript core
wintry swallow
the horrors are the best part of it
python actually enables much worse horrors but i don't know it
or well i do know python but i don't know the horrors
carmine burrow
i have heard that that's the case
tender gale
As someone who has just begun modding (and coding, really) I have no opinion on lua
wintry swallow
smells like incorrect behaviour
also you think this syntax is scary, you haven't seen what this library can do
tender gale
ok anyone know how I would make a joker than turns scoring wild cards polychrome
carmine burrow
ok anyone know how I would make a joker than turns scoring wild cards polychrome
i'd look at midas mask
to check if a card is a wild card i think you use c.ability.name == "Wild Card"
and to turn a card polychrome i think you use c:set_edition({ polychrome = true })
where c is the card you want to modify
tender gale
ok thanks, i'll try it
carmine burrow
i'd look at midas mask
what midas mask does is it first counts up all of the face cards and stores them in an array, does nothing if the array is empty, and iterates through everything otherwise
that way it can display the thing that says "Gold" only when it actually does anything
tender gale
so I've got this here, do I wrap it in a calculate function? If so the context should be card scored right
carmine burrow
what midas mask does is it first counts up all of the face cards and stores them...
or no... i have no reading comprehension sorry
it does the effect inside the loop
carmine burrow

midas mask applies its effect in context.before, same as vampire
do you want it to happen at the moment the card is scored?
tender gale
I want it to be like midas mask in that sense
carmine burrow
alright
tender gale
so (self, card, context.before)?
carmine burrow
so (self, card, context.before)?
i think you'd do
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before and not context.blueprint then
local wilds = {}
for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
if v.ability.name == "Wild Card" then
wilds[#wilds+1] = v
v:set_edition({ polychrome = true }, true)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
v:juice_up()
return true
end
}))
end
end
if #wilds > 0 then
return {
message = localize('something or other'),
colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
card = self
}
end
end
end
those are the arguments to the function, i don't think you want to ever touch them
tender gale
Thanks!

if you don't want the edition sound to play 3 times at once (and therefore possibly be really loud), maybe you could pass #wilds > 1 as a third argument to v:set_edition

Where in the source code does it render the crystal thingy for the Soul card
I want to try the sprite overlay effect like it has
tender gale
merry raven
Oh damn that easy?
tender gale
yes
merry raven
What if I want to change the soul sprite mid-game? I plan for my Joker to change it whenever a certain condition is met
sturdy compass
I have tried to change the soul sprite mid-game via changing atlas coordinates, but for whatever reason it doesn't change until the entire card stops rendering
merry raven
Man
sturdy compass
Here's the attempt I made btw
My guess is Thunk never expected the soul sprite to change and therefor doesn't have a handler in vanilla to update the sprite frame by frame
random sleet
if you change pos or soul_pos it changes for every instance of that joker btw ( god i love pointers and references )
sturdy compass
wonky
random sleet
and yea once a sprite is readied for a card its left as-is, you have to handle that
merry raven
Wack
sturdy compass
I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too tricky to implement a handler for that, you’d just have to dig for where that soul rendering code is to begin with
merry raven
So who wants to be the first to invent proper soul sprite swapping

How can I ha e an update run every second

Lobotomy Corporation (mod) does a version of it
sturdy compass
All being every destroyed card in a run or in a hand?
leaden wren
Price of Silence updates and plays every second
leaden wren
All being every destroyed card in a run or in a hand?
every card destroyed (e.g. hanged man, glass card) should get re-added to deck
when it gets destroyed
i'm just not sure how to retrieve that
sturdy compass
Idk what the dt is
dt is short for “delta time,” which is the time that passes between frames
leaden wren
ah, so just accumulate that to 1000
sturdy compass
Actually just 1 since dt is a float value
leaden wren
okay that's something
now to learn what that colon actually means in a broader sense
so i can get the full card's details
and add it as a thing
sturdy compass
The colon signifies a function the object class can execute
leaden wren
okay it just means it's adding itself as the first parameter
so it's effectively calling get_id(other_card)
sturdy compass
Yep
leaden wren
but that's happening in that context
i think i get it
now to find where in the documentation i can look at the list of permissible outputs...
sturdy compass
If it helps, context.cards_destroyed is a table of all cards that are to be destroyed
Or one of the contexts that has to do with destroyed cards, I forget if that’s the correct one
Check the Joker Calculation page on the SMODS wiki, I’m positive the correct one is listed there
leaden wren
i really want it to be this easy but i just know it's not going to be
sturdy compass
Ok I was right, context.cards_destroyed is a table/array of all cards that are to be destroyed. You could probably loop through that to get the cards back

a glass card just broke and nothing happened
i'm so confused
...okay, apparently i was supposed to use these
okay, i think i get it now
now to figure out how to add it to deck
sturdy compass
I’d say for every iteration of the loop, do local new_card = v:copy_card(parameters) and do the typical add and emplace cycle from there
leaden wren
...huh, i thought copy_card would add it to hand but reading it seems more like it just returns an actually digestible version of that card?
random sleet
it just makes a new card object based on the old one iirc
so you then can add_to_deck and emplace it somewhere
leaden wren
huh, i was gonna use table.insert and just call it there
it's hard to read this game's code

oh right i need to initialize it with add to deck or something

wouldn't that use the default ones if I'm not overriding it?

not that i know of
loc_vars is what corresponds the positions of #1#, etc
to actual variables
so that you could, for example, insert game variables like odds base
sturdy compass
wouldn't that use the default ones if I'm not overriding it?
It would yes, however I think you may need to change it to adapt to your new config
fair comet
I thought it would just use the config I provided since I'm changing the config
this is default loc_vars = {_c.config.max_highlighted, localize{type = 'name_text', set = 'Enhanced', key = _c.config.mod_conv}}
sturdy compass
I’m actually not sure, but I think it’d be worth trying to re-input it
fair comet

You’re creating two different copies. You should be setting a local variable to hold the copy and then go through the process

but uh hey that's like
real object orientation
in lua
crisp coral
real
wintry solar
What’s the need for this?
wintry swallow
mostly making it much easier on me to build custom systems
i don't expect anyone else to use it within balatro though it is a very useful tool for general use in lua
random sleet
doesnt smods already provide this
you can just make something that extends SMODS.GameObject
wintry swallow
not sure, but it's lua 5.4 compatible so i can take it outside of smods and make whatever i want with it even outside of balatro
random sleet
i guess
were i at home id show the code for joker Stamps
you can just make a new kind of SMODS object and register them like Jokers or Consumables or Seals or whatever
wintry swallow
that's neat that this scaffolding is already in smods
random sleet

thats only if your modifying the ui
if your making stuff from scratch it's fairly reasonable

no other language lets me get this level of fucked up, except maybe python my girlfriend's been telling me a lot about python's metaprogramming capabilities

I still think lazy DFS is the way to go
I don’t know how you could do better with an arbitrary graph
frosty dock
elaborate
zealous glen
elaborate
With vanilla ranks you can aggregate different nodes in the graph per rank since each set of nodes only connects to the next and previous ranks
With quantum ranks, it could be anything so you’d have to walk on the full graph
frosty dock
I know, but what do you mean by lazy DFS
zealous glen
I know, but what do you mean by lazy DFS
It only looks 5 deep then moves on
So it gives up instead of going on
frosty dock
so how do I know a path of the desired length is actually a straight? the bipartite graph of cards to ranks needs to have a matching with n edges for that to be the case
zealous glen

If you find a path of length 5 it’s a Straight
frosty dock
in what graph
zealous glen
The graph of cards
frosty dock
oh alright, I was looking at the graph of ranks
zealous glen
But you need to avoid cycles
Which DFS should already do
Also with the original graph you could cache results
But I’m not sure about the arbitrary graph. I think you should but I don’t quite see it right now
frosty dock
yeah I think I see where you're going
can't have it be lazy because it should find longer straights if they exist
so I find longest paths in each component of the directed graph of cards...
zealous glen
can't have it be lazy because it should find longer straights if they exist
What do you mean longer Straights?
There are no longer Straights
frosty dock
if I'm looking for 5-straights, I'm allowing 6-straights
zealous glen
if I'm looking for 5-straights, I'm allowing 6-straights
But you don’t need to look for them
wintry solar
Surely it should look for X-straights where X is the number of played cards?
zealous glen
No it should look for (find_card(“j_four_fingers”) and 4) or 5-Straights
frosty dock
if I'm including 5-straights when four fingers, clearly I need to include 8-straights when no four fingers

It’s just an argument
frosty dock
no what I'm saying is this

well if there's no straight this long then you're not going to get that deep before there's nowhere else to go
zealous glen
what
zealous glen
am i interrupting something
The Straights are fighting
stiff locust
that's not good is it
frosty dock
what
the graph of cards doesn't have a 4-path if there's no 4-straight
the only time it gives up at 6 is when there's already a 5-straight
at that point I'm going out of my way to not find the extra card
frosty dock
that's now what I'm saying but okay
tender gale
how easy would it be to have a joker that checks if your played hand consists of one three and two unrelated cards and transforms them into that three? for example if you played ace of spades, four of clubs and three of diamonds, you would get three three of diamons
frosty dock
Also I think there's still some issues here. Like what cards a card is adjacent to changes depending on what rank it's acting as
like what if I have a (A,2) (3,4) (5,6) (7,8) (9,T)
yeah so one would have to make some weird splitting graph that separates outwards vertices by rank
zealous glen
that's now what I'm saying but okay
I think I’m not understanding what you mean
zealous glen
Also I think there's still some issues here. Like what cards a card is adjacent ...
Maybe instead of cards as nodes it needs to be some kind of hypercard
Actually maybe not
The “rank” of a card is only important as whichever edges are used
So it’s like
Duck-typing
frosty dock
yeah but the incoming edge decides which outgoing edges you're allowed to use

with info_queue i've found the appropriate format in localization files, however i'm not sure how to define my own custom bubbles. how could i do this?

for i = 1, 10 do
info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { set = "Other", key = "ev_cry_choco"..i }
end
else
SMODS.Events["ev_cry_choco"..center.ability.extra.roll]:loc_vars(info_queue, center)

though im not exactly sure what it is doing
maiden phoenix
with info_queue i've found the appropriate format in localization files, however...
Do you have a localization folder with default or en-us file in it?
stiff locust
i assume this is what i've been missing?
yeah you should do separate localization
stiff locust
well the way cryptid does it is by concatenating a string
"ev_cry_choco1" is the first entry then it loops through every entry with the for loop
solar eagle
mhm
stiff locust
you can do it like that too, or you can do it by looping through a list with all the names of the localizations in it
stiff locust
are you on the uh
solar eagle
pretty similar to what im used to
solar eagle
json metadata
stiff locust
and i'm assuming you're still using the loc_txt for stuff
stiff locust
ok in the json file make a new value called dump_localization and set it to true
orchid thunder
How can I use a joker to stop all sounds
stiff locust
remove all your other content mods, then boot up balatro and close it again
maiden phoenix
In your mod, you can add a localization folder, with a default.lua file and put
return {
descriptions = {
Other = {
new_desc = {
name = "New Description",
text = {
"This is my awesome description!"
...
yea i saw this
stiff locust
that will automatically dump localization for your mod to localization/dump
maiden phoenix
Yea
stiff locust
the auto dump is super nice for starting it
solar eagle
ill just do it manually tbh im particular about formatting and i dont have a lot
stiff locust
i think you should still do it with the auto dump
itll be faster and ensures you don't mess anything up

thats the fun part

this is common

note that cryptid specifies the "set" of the entry, you should put these in the other set like cryptid does
stiff locust
the set is the group they're in yh
and make sure you remove all loc_txt from your mod when you're done
solar eagle
yep
solar eagle
wdym
stiff locust
especially when the joker gets an edition or a sticker
stiff locust
oh if you're only doing the one thing
maiden phoenix
If your object has a child with an info_queue too, all children info_queue will show up
stiff locust
you dont need to do any extra localization stuff
solar eagle
well because of how i've structured the edition, it needs info_queues
maiden phoenix
(This sound weird lol)
stiff locust
you can just put the center for the edition in
solar eagle
otherwise the box doesnt render properly cause there's too much text
solemn crypt
im going to start modding balatro what text editor should i use? VS Code? Sublime text?
stiff locust
vscode with the lua plugin
solemn crypt
just the one named Lua right no others
solemn crypt
ok cool thanks
i have everything set up should i just download another mod and look at its structure and how it does things and stuff?
solar eagle
thats what ive been doing
frosty dock
yeah that's a good start. you can also look at steamodded docs
solar eagle
cryptid has been pretty handy since it does so much though it structures things slightly differently from regular steamodded
solemn crypt
yeah that's a good start. you can also look at steamodded docs
yeah i have that open i think as well
solemn crypt
cryptid has been pretty handy since it does so much though it structures things ...
so should i start by lookingat that?
frosty dock
can also recommend ortalab as a reference mod
stiff locust
and if you have any specific questions you ask here and wait for one of the bigger fish to help you with it
solemn crypt
can also recommend ortalab as a reference mod
ok thanks
stiff locust
like what would be the best way to check if the played hand contains three 7s in a row
solemn crypt
so i put everything (lik all the code) in the main.lua?
solar eagle
can also recommend ortalab as a reference mod
yea its also helpful
solemn crypt
or just stuf that executes when mod is opened
stiff locust
ive tried a lot of things that either have triggered on every hand, or on no hands, regardless of how many 7s they have
frosty dock
you can structure your mod into different files too, but just putting everything in one file works just fine starting out
solar eagle
yea
the way i've split it out is put the separate files in a src folder
then in the main lua, this:
for _,v in pairs(NFS.getDirectoryItems(path)) do
assert(SMODS.load_file('src/'..v))()
end```where do i find the cryptid mod is it on nexus
solar eagle
github!
stiff locust
i just put everything in one file cause i cant be fucked with all the extra file shenanigans
solemn crypt
i just put everything in one file cause i cant be fucked with all the extra file...
real
yea idk ig ill just do that at the start too and maybe ill start making more files but idk
frosty dock
it's fine so long as you don't have like 10k+ line files
solar eagle
how does one define localized variables for a localization file?
stiff locust
you need to put them in a specific area for them to do that
under misc and under v_dictionary in misc
maiden phoenix
like what would be the best way to check if the played hand contains three 7s in...
Do the 7s have to be next to each other?
solar eagle
misc where
stiff locust
Do the 7s have to be next to each other?
ideally yeah
stiff locust
misc where
in your localization file
solar eagle
and then how are they referenced?
stiff locust
i'll just get a screenshot hold on
solar eagle
ty!
solemn crypt
what mod shouild i use for debugging?
maiden phoenix
Loop trough the scored cards, if you got a 7 and the next one isn't you reset the count to 0, if the count reaches 3 or above then gg
frosty dock
and then how are they referenced?
localize { type = 'variable', key = 'my_key', vars = {'a', 'b', 'c' } }
for simple dict entries (that don't need changeable vars), you can just put them in misc.dictionary
and reference like localize('my_key')
stiff locust
the vars are like the
solar eagle
well thats the thing
solar eagle
yea i know this part
stiff locust
to make the values show up in those places
solar eagle
the problem is that idk how to reference the variable i want, since its a property of the edition
and it can change
stiff locust
it should just use the base variable
frosty dock
well we can't tell you if we don't know what property you're referencing
stiff locust
unless the edition changes globally
worthy stirrup
my code crashes if the card is at the very right side, and the UI tab has no color
maiden phoenix
Loop trough the scored cards, if you got a 7 and the next one isn't you reset th...
@stiff locust
wintry solar
You can call the editions loc vars function and use that
solar eagle
unless the edition changes globally
on the edition it's card.ability.extra.count, the intent is that it can be changed globally
by boss blinds, jokers, etc etc
frosty dock
chat am i cooked
maiden phoenix
It's because of the G.jokers.cards[i+1], do #G.jokers.cards - 1 instead
worthy stirrup
isnt that just always the right most card?
maiden phoenix
If you reach your last card and check for G.jokers.cards[i+1], it will crash because it doesn't exists
#G.jokers.cards - 1 stops before the last card in the loop
solar eagle
or you could do #G.jokers.cards to check every single one
since lua arrays start at 1 for some reason
maiden phoenix
Seeing other_joker, I think they're trying to do something with the card on the right of the joker
frosty dock
what you should do is you assume you're incompatible if you're the rightmost
worthy stirrup
yea, blueprint
solar eagle
ahhhh
worthy stirrup
its just the blueprint thing
solar eagle
i mixed up who was who
worthy stirrup
the issue is still alive
maiden phoenix
Can we see the crash log?
solemn crypt
when i open balatro its doing this:
I have enabled developer mode i think i did the thing with the if not _RELEASE_mode and stuff and i have a few mods
stiff locust
it works now
does anyone know a base game sound (or custom sound) i could use for when a joker doubles probabilities
i think it'd be cool if it made a noise
actually wait
i've got the perfect sound
so how do I play a custom sound
wintry solar
so how do I play a custom sound
Where are you playing it from?
worthy stirrup
fixed it
stiff locust
Where are you playing it from?
i don't know yet lol
worthy stirrup
i had to add card.ability.name = 'Blueprint' at the start
stiff locust
i'm assuming i drop it in sounds folder
is there any specific format or is it just anything common
wintry solar
You can add sound = ‘soundkey’ to the return table assuming you have a message
stiff locust
there is no return table on it
wintry solar
Sounds are generally .ogg format
stiff locust
it doesn't return anything
can i still put a return table in without it messing things up
reef bane
Could someone help me diagnose a game crash?
reef bane
stiff locust
i want the sound to play when the 1 in 7 hits (yes it's hardcoded and that is intentional)
wintry solar
Okay cool, instead of card eval status text just return your message, colour and sound
wintry solar
Oh replace that too
stiff locust
oh what why
wintry solar
I guess you don’t have to
Anyway, before the else put your return table
After you’ve adjusted the probabilities
solemn crypt
when i open balatro its doing this:
I have enabled developer mode i ...
nvm i think it was a mod or smth
stiff locust
You can add `sound = ‘soundkey’` to the return table assuming you have a message
so what's the sound key
does it have any prefixes
do i include the file extension
worthy stirrup
why is there two...
wintry solar
SMODS.Sound({
key = ‘key pls’,
path = ‘filename.ogg’
})```assets/sounds iirc
stiff locust
ohk
gilded narwhal
Deck idea: odd hands provide the chips for a mega-hand, and even hands provide the mult, which are then multiplied again after every even hand
And to counter balance that ludicrous scaling you would start at ante 9 or smth
stiff locust
i believe you're looking for the meme suggestions thread
#1187936299655647313 that would be here
worthy stirrup
i moved main end to the end and it still occurs
frosty dock
why do you have card.ability.name = 'Blueprint'?
worthy stirrup
at the start? because thats the only thing that gives it the color
frosty dock
well then you're making blueprint give you its UI
also we can't have nice things, there's no negative indexing
stiff locust
the sound is not playing but everything else works
worthy stirrup
what do i do then
stiff locust
i defined it here
SMODS.Sound({
key = "probability_tm",
path = "lucky.ogg"
})
and here's where it is meant to play
return {
message = localize("k_probability_tm"),
colour = G.C.GREEN,
sound = "probability_tm"
}
with or without tsun_ at the start of the sound = argument it just plays the regular message sound
and i made sure the file's there and it works
and it's an ogg
frosty dock
it definitely needs the prefix
stiff locust
okay well the sound still won't play
wintry solar
What smods version are you on?
wintry solar
People still developing on old calc smh
stiff locust
i'm still waiting for cryptid to go to better calc
frosty dock
not even old calc, that's old calc - 1 week
frosty dock
i'm still waiting for cryptid to go to better calc
it's close to done
stiff locust
that's nice to know
frosty dock
stiff locust
i suppose I will leave this joker as it is here then
it'll work on better calc so i trust it
that means it's done
and apparently people gamble on like, boats
solemn crypt
do i need too open and close the game everytime i change something to test it or is there an easier way?
stiff locust
so they get international waters and international laws for gambling
worthy stirrup
okay, i just did this and it works fine
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
card.ability.name = 'Blueprint'
return { vars = {card.ability.name == 'Blueprint' }, main_end = main_end
}
you can hold m to let steamodded restart the game for you. there's also DebugPlus' watch command which could be useful depending on what you're doing
solemn crypt

when i installed debug plus it doesnt let me do any debug things not even vanilla

thoughts about this modloader usage syntax
solemn crypt
hold tab
i was it wasnt making a menu show up when i uninstall it the vanilla goes back to normal and works tho
do i need to set the vanilla debug to not debug
frosty dock
do you have a different mod that enables debug?
solemn crypt
well i went into the config and did it myself does that affect it
frosty dock
yes
frosty dock
you should
solemn crypt
ok
worthy stirrup
how do i print only the name of JokerToSelect
if G.jokers then
local jokers = {}
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card then
jokers[#jokers+1] = G.jokers.cards[i]
end
end
local jokertoselect = #jokers > 0 and pseudorandom_element(jokers, pseudoseed('crypto')) or nil
print(jokertoselect)
jokertoselect.ability.name
worthy stirrup
okay, how do i make sure it only selects once per hand
because its now just a loop
maiden phoenix
Where did you put your block of code?
limber oriole
okay, this is gonna be a bit of a stupid question - but where can i find the documentation for psuedorandom_element?
glass scaffold
okay, this is gonna be a bit of a stupid question - but where can i find the doc...
ModdedVanilla.lua
maiden phoenix
Is this all? Are you doing context checks?
worthy stirrup
let me put the code
limber oriole
`ModdedVanilla.lua`
where can I find this lua file?
worthy stirrup
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if G.jokers then
local jokers = {}
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card then
jokers[#jokers+1] = G.jokers.cards[i]
end
end
local jokertoselect = #jokers > 0 and pseudorandom_element(jokers, pseudoseed('crypto')) or nil
print(jokertoselect.ability.name)
end
return {
}
end
}
i do think i need context
maiden phoenix
Yea your code is running for every context that exists lol

I recommend checking this https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1247703015222149120

where can I find this lua file?
smods / Steamodded folder
limber oriole
thanks
worthy stirrup
i think id use if context.other_joker as i plan to make this card like blueprint
solar eagle
how exactly does in_pool work for boss blinds?
maiden phoenix
Oh yea blueprint jokers don't check contexts
limber oriole
smods / Steamodded folder
okay I'm probably not looking at the right places because I can't seem to find ModdedVanilla in my smods-main folder
my apologies
maiden phoenix
i think id use if context.other_joker as i plan to make this card like blueprint
Check line 2303 of card.lua
