[frosty dock]

change_base just takes a suit key

e.g. 'Diamonds' or 'bunc_Fleurons'

[leaden wren]

this much i know
i just wasn't sure how to retrieve the table from SMODS.Ranks and get the key out

[nova finch]

how do i check if the scored card has a certain enhancement?

[leaden wren]

i think SMODS.Ranks.key didn't work
or whatever i tried

[frosty dock]

uhh

can I see the code you have?

I'm not sure I get what you're doing currently

[leaden wren]

SMODS.Joker {
  key="AliceRabbit",
  loc_txt = {
      name="Alice_Rabbit",
      text={
        "Changes all {c:spades}Spades{} in deck to",
        "a random Rank each, each {C:attention}Blind{}" 
      },
  },
  config = {
      extra = {
      }
  },
  atlas='FOM1',
  pos= {x=3,y=0},
  rarity=2,
  cost=5,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
      return { 
        vars = {
          card.ability.extra.cost 
        }
      }
  end,

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then 

      local rank = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Ranks, pseudoseed('alicerabbit'))
      for i,v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if v:is_suit("Spades") then
          SMODS.change_base(v, nil, pseudorandom_element({'2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','10','Jack','Queen','King','Ace'}, pseudoseed('alicerabbit')))
        end
      end
      SMODS.calculate_effect {
        message = 'Scrambled!',
        sound = 'myo_alicerabbit',
        card = card
      }
    end
  end
}

this works but i want it to work with modded ranks

the bit of attention is that giant change_base at the bottom

the local rank is just a leftover

from testing

[frosty dock]

rank.key

or pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Ranks, pseudoseed('alicerabbit')).key or whatever

[leaden wren]

okay THAT'S how i'm supposed to do it

i was passing pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Ranks.key

i think

[frosty dock]

oh

that's what you meant by that

[runic pecan]

If I name my variable as card.ability.extra.chancemodif would the game multiply it to G.GAME.probabilities.normal automatically?

[frosty dock]

why would it?

it's not some magic value the game uses anywhere

[tender gale]

Ok, I did that, and now it crashes instead

[runic pecan]

Yeah I figured.

[leaden wren]

SMODS.change_base(v, nil, pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Ranks, pseudoseed('alicerabbit').key))

that's a crash

oh wait

lol, lmao

nvm

[cerulean rose]

joker_main doesn't have other_card

[leaden wren]

uhhhhhh
how do i pass sound volume to calculate_effect

do i pass it a table?

[tender gale]

that's why i originally had the checks when the card was scored

but it didn't do anything

[cerulean rose]

iterate over context.scored_hand

[tender gale]

how do I do that

[zealous glen]

abilities can work in multiple contexts if you need them to

[leaden wren]

wheyy, works now
very nice

[minor gyro]

what do y'all think?

[leaden wren]

ooo fun

i do have one suggestion

gimme a sec

[minor gyro]

forgot shade lmao

[grave arch]

No I want it to be generating 3 time, all this part work for me - but the juice up animation only play once and i don’t understand why it does that

[minor gyro]

now it's complete hahaha

[leaden wren]

actually not sure i like how that looks ignore me

[minor gyro]

my first mod so idk what to expect

[leaden wren]

oh! right

i had a similar issue

[minor gyro]

wdym? the way that you cannot read the "joker"?

[leaden wren]

use calculate_effect()

[minor gyro]

it's an easy fix tbh, but idk

[leaden wren]

just was brainstorming how it'd look if the white inverted the joker text colors

[leaden wren]

@grave arch try passing this

fairly self explanatory

[minor gyro]

I just do not understant what ur saying lmao

[leaden wren]

e.g. pass mult how you would to return {}

[minor gyro]

like, u want the white parts to be dark when in the joker text?

[grave arch]

Ohh thank you! So this will be like the juice up animation? (I can’t use my pc right now ahah)

[minor gyro]

o think I get it

[leaden wren]

don't know what you're referring to, but it'll make each thing pop up as separate visual events

it also handles the timing and stuff automatically

you use it for anything that does more than one "thing" per trigger, afaik

[grave arch]

Ohh I see!

[grave arch]

Im trying to make a joker that give a lot of things when it destroy himself (like money) and I want to do an animation on itself for each things it give
Exemple :

• +5$ animation
• another 5$ animation
• add a random joker animation
  etc, etc

So thank you, it should help me :)

[minor gyro]

@leaden wren

it's not very visible tho

idk if instead of inverting colours maybe making it a little darker blue

like this?

[tender gale]

ok I finally got it to work'

i moved the set to false to only trigger when the hand triggers the Joker effect

This way it does its intended effect

[leaden wren]

yeah that's fun

i like that

especially on the misty one

[minor gyro]

hantu!

i love that ghost

It's quick as hell when it's cold

[zealous glen]

are the skulls a reference

[autumn geode]

my jokers still spawn in the shop when i own them without me having showman i tried to set the value of allow_duplicates to false but it seems to have not done anything

[zealous glen]

did you create them with debug mode

[autumn geode]

yea

oh does that bypass it

i spawned them in with the debug mod

[wintry swallow]

hi hi yall :3 this is probably a question that gets asked decently often, but
im lookin to make a mod with a friend that aims to add multiple new suits, and jokers that use those suits. is there some good way to get started on something like that, or is it more of a "work your way up to it" type of thing

[raw geyser]

Best way is plagiarism. There's a mod that already adds extra suits, Bunco:
https://github.com/Firch/Bunco/tree/old

[merry raven]

What is programming but not blatantly copying from others

[vocal verge]

something something infinite monkeys infinite time etc

[ionic verge]

what does trigger and delay mean here?

i mean delay is fairly obvious

(this is in card.lua)

[vocal verge]

delay - delay
trigger - v

"immediate" (default) - Runs as soon as possible "after" - Will run after a set amount of time. Also see delay "condition" - Will not finish until the condition is met. For most cases, you probably just want to use immediate with a check (see func). See ref_table, ref_value and stop_val for how to set this. "ease" - Used to interpolate values. Useful for score incrementing or movement. Also see ref_table, ref_value and ease_to for how to set this. "before" - Will run immediately, but if it doesn't complete before the set amount of time, it will be cancelled. Also see delay

[ionic verge]

i see

[runic pecan]

What context is for "after each hand"?

[ionic verge]

.after?

[runic pecan]

I've used context.after and then context.joker_main but my joker still got caught looping in collection page.

[ionic verge]

yeah

[runic pecan]

This is when I write if context.after and context.cardarea == G.jokers then :

[orchid thunder]

Wtf is your code

[orchid thunder]

It's the update

What are you trying to do

It's juicing it and aying the sound every frame it can

[runic pecan]

Oh crap, I forgot update is an already taken function name.

[orchid thunder]

Do like _update

If you want update

And tell me if it works

[runic pecan]

I'll check if roll works.

[orchid thunder]

Roll works too maybe

I'm not sure if that's how functions in jokers work

[runic pecan]

It worked. No more endless drum roll.

And I just noticed the description almost rhymes.

[orchid thunder]

Damn your right I'm now boping now

https://tenor.com/view/cat-jam-cat-jam-head-bounce-kitty-gif-17946989

[ionic verge]

how would i call the name of the last hand played?

[runic pecan]

Maybe "last played hand"?

[ionic verge]

what function or what not for that

[runic pecan]

you want the hand type or?

[ionic verge]

hand type

trying to put it in this

i would do this how space joker does it, but it bugs a little

[runic pecan]

I think I remember seeing it somewhere in the Balatro code. Let me go check.

[ionic verge]

specifically, this happens and doesnt clear until something replaces it

so itll stick through the shop

and such

i probably could just clear it with a different function or something, but this would be cleaner

[runic pecan]

G.GAME.last_hand_played

[ionic verge]

cool

oh goodie

wait

im dum

[weary jungle]

how do i make this not freeze my game?

    if G.RETURNLOCALIZATION then
        G.RETURNLOCALIZATION = false
        return {
            message = localize('k_extinct_ex')
        }
    else
        return waitReturnLoc()
    end

end```

[ionic verge]

fuck me
its still happening

[orchid thunder]

What is code now

[ionic verge]

i just undid it all bc nothing changed and arguably worked a little worse

[orchid thunder]

And what's problem

[ionic verge]

the text is supposed to reset

no lvl 13, no chips x mult

[orchid thunder]

Hmm

[ionic verge]

cus this is at end of round

[orchid thunder]

Do you have njy?

[ionic verge]

njy?

[orchid thunder]

Not just yet

[ionic verge]

i dont know what that is

[orchid thunder]

Then no ok

Hmm

[ionic verge]

this is the guy

this is the code

blue_seal_failed is a context i patched in so i could detect for the condition the card requires

[weary jungle]

update_hand_text?

[ionic verge]

what would i put in its arguments

[weary jungle]

idk

[vocal verge]

do you need the whole card_eval stuff

i'm looking at space joker rn

[ionic verge]

maybe

probably not

[vocal verge]

it's probably why it gets stuck

[ionic verge]

no its not

happened before i did that

[wispy rose]

got this error upon trying to select a card in hand

[ionic verge]

for the record, yes i do

and its just for the message thing that happens when a joker does something
like
'+4 mult!'

[vocal verge]

isn't that just the message part? or do you need to use eval for custom stuff

or i guess message just links to the card_eval

[ionic verge]

i needed to move it to the playing card, and seemingly that was the only way to do so

message works

but it ties it to the joker

which isnt what i wanted

[vocal verge]

maybe look at hiker?

hiker does it on card

[ionic verge]

im gonna be real, its not causing a problem

[vocal verge]

i mean fair

as long as it works and doesn't cause insane lag

[ionic verge]

yeah

[vocal verge]

better than having a louder Miku depending on hand size

still need to fix that

[ionic verge]

well
its better

[vocal verge]

Need to learn more about balatro code

So many joker ideas now

Equity - Turns all jokers in hand to the average value

[gaunt thistle]

what's the average value?

[vocal verge]

average value of hand

so lower value goes up, higher value goes down

sorry not jokers

playing cards

[ionic verge]

oh that makes a lot more sense

[runic pecan]

Expected effect: "Discarded non-Spade cards get destroyed."
Result: " 'Sacrificed!' message displayed normally but no card get destroyed."
I need help.

[ionic verge]

yo spade supremacy?

this is the code i use for destroying selected cards when the specific joker is sold

(kinda like hangman but cracked)

[runic pecan]

I mean, spade suits originated from swords/blades, aren’t they?

[ionic verge]

true

[runic pecan]

So I just, bypass the return and directly tell the card to destroy itself?

[ionic verge]

yeah pretty much

and the shatter thing for glass cards cus while ive never destroyed a glass card i presume they do that instead of disolving

[runic pecan]

But I also want to track destroyed card count for leveling up this joker, though.

[ionic verge]

mmm

add a counter var?

increase it anytime that something gets dissolved/shattered

how do i get the level of the last hand played?

need it for this line

[placid frigate]

are there good resources for making a modded challenge for Balatro

[vocal verge]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/blob/master/SMODS.Challenge.md

You can probably look around for mods that add challenges to see how they do it as well

[narrow pendant]

Anyone know off the top of their head how to make these two trigger seperately?

[placid frigate]

I was looking at other mods but it seemed inconsistent, some started with SMODS.Challenge other with SMODS=G.challenge
And Crypid mod had local sticker_sheet = {
object_type = "Challenge
So I’m not sure how to do it

[placid frigate]

There is a way to do separate calculations in the same prompt almost like parentheses in math, I was asking about it a long time ago let me look for it

[crisp coral]

who the hell uses the latter

Cryptid does that because it has its own loader system, it also uses SMODS.Challenge

[placid frigate]

So it’s something called an Event, I couldn’t find the exact code for it (lost in the archive or I didn’t end up using it)

[placid frigate]

So how would it look

[narrow pendant]

That'd be great :)

[vocal verge]

event manager?

[placid frigate]

That sounds correct

[vocal verge]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/blob/master/Guide-‐-Event-Manager.md

[cerulean rose]

[placid frigate]

@narrow pendant

[willow quiver]

any open stability concerns with better calc lately? Trying to gauge if it's safe for me to make KCVanilla's better calc migration branch the official release

[novel rain]

Where do mods go?

[vocal verge]

Clubs club

[placid frigate]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/blob/master/Guide-‐-Event-Manager.md

[soft timber]

If you made a mod and uploaded it on github and etc, do you just create a new thread on #1209506514763522108 or is there anything to do beforehand?

[narrow pendant]

Thanks <3

[willow quiver]

this is what i have for a chips+mult joker in kcvanilla

return {
                chip_mod = effect.chips,
                message = localize {
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_chips',
                    vars = {effect.chips}
                },
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                extra = {
                    mult_mod = effect.mult,
                    message = localize {
                        type = 'variable',
                        key = 'a_mult',
                        vars = {effect.mult}
                    },
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            }

[placid frigate]

That’s all, I know there is an option index you can add it to some where in #modded

[narrow pendant]

Huh, extra is interesting

[willow quiver]

ask @south pagoda about it... i wasnt aware of it either

[south pagoda]

Its a recent feature bettercalc added

[narrow pendant]

still only seems to do the chip trigger

[narrow pendant]

does yours still work?

[willow quiver]

yes sir

i tested it again

[narrow pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-emoji-smiley-thinking-scratching-head-gif-17835192

[willow quiver]

are you on better calc?

[narrow pendant]

No idea

[willow quiver]

whats ur smod ver

[narrow pendant]

ig im behind

[willow quiver]

ohh yeah

you need to update

be warned that better calc can break existing stuff

[narrow pendant]

[willow quiver]

yeah it aint easy... sorry

[wild patrol]

@cerulean rose figured I should ask permission before doing this but do u mind if I take it exodia code and rework into a similar card effect that requires 4 cards?

[soft timber]

Ohh I'll se about that, ty!

[wild patrol]

Also is there code for if a joker is active the next round you can make it create a specific joker card?

[narrow pendant]

Sushi is broken ✅

[narrow pendant]

For some reason Lineup is crashing the game trying to call juice_up, even though that card doesnt use juice_up

[runic pecan]

So for some reason return { remove = true } under if context.discard then does not destroy discarded cards despite SMODS doc states so.

[violet void]

You could store whether it's active or not in card.ability, then in context.first_hand_drawn or context.setting_blind you could check if it's active and pass SMODS.create_card with the Id of the joker you wanna create

[wild patrol]

To me this looks like gibrish at the moment but I'm getting the idea of how I should do this

Gonna try this

[violet void]

Which part specifically

[wild patrol]

Yes

[violet void]

[wild patrol]

Honestly anything I've ever coded is held together by ducktape and glue

I'm a firm believer in the if it works it fucking works method of coding

[violet void]

SMODS.create_card() is explained here

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

What's that picture 🫥

[wild patrol]

Art

[tender gale]

If #context.scoring_hand triggers on only scoring cards would #context.hand trigger on all played cards

[wild patrol]

Hmmm I wonder if I can use the smod create on pot of greed when you draw it from a pack to create it as a tarot card

[violet void]

I don't think so

[wild patrol]

As a work around to the use button not working when lumped in with jokers

Because I have the use function in the card but when u draw it u can't use it or add it to the consumables

[violet void]

Use G.play.cards while in context.scoring_hand

[wild patrol]

Because I'm gonna guess because it's in a state where u can't draw the use can't trigger lol

And when u pull a tarot from a pack u can't add it to the consumables

The duck tape and glue is coming together

Someone should make a GitHub report for example codes for people to start with

Would help a lot for beginners the joker template is nice but doesn't really teach much

[gaunt thistle]

beautiful art

[violet void]

I hope someone adds examples in the docs yeah

[gaunt thistle]

that's what it is

[wild patrol]

You think this could work

🤔

[tender gale]

This is the code for Death, and on the right is my code for a Joker that's supposed to work like this

You play some cards and a three, those cards get transformed into the three before scoring

how would I do that

[narrow pendant]

Damn i like your colours

[tender gale]

Its the github theme

[gaunt thistle]

one of the best themes imho

[tender gale]

anyone know how to do that?

[violet void]

Stuff that happens before scoring that would change the subsequent scoring is complex from my experience

I had to create a custom context for my use

It's the Flipper joker
https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

There's probably a better way though

[sturdy compass]

That reminds me I'll probably have to make contexts for myself as well

[tender gale]

Maybe it could be after, I mean that would also make it less powerful

[violet void]

For which use case?

[tender gale]

I really just mean how to use copy_card to change the cards into the three

[violet void]

Does it need to only copy the rank or the editions/enhancements too

[tender gale]

Copy everything, like death

[violet void]

Ah ok

[sturdy compass]

One of my more ambitious goals for my mod is to implement a new class of card that almost act like Chaos upgrades in Hades, where you have to debuff yourself and then gain a great buff once a condition is met. Gonna need a new card area for it and everything probably

[violet void]

A new class?

[sturdy compass]

The closest they would really be is a consumeable but at the same time not really

[violet void]

If it happens after scoring, then you can use if context.scoring_hand and context.after

[violet void]

To be or or not to be

[sturdy compass]

lmfao

[tender gale]

I know the condition, idk how to do the actual copying

[sturdy compass]

An example

[violet void]

That looks powerful

[sturdy compass]

Exactly

[violet void]

So then it disappears?

[sturdy compass]

They're like risk/reward quests almost

[sturdy compass]

yep

[tender gale]

you're also doing the zodiacs?

[violet void]

Could be a joker with self destruct

Unless you don't want to it to occupy the joker slots

[tender gale]

thats like, 10 now including me

[sturdy compass]

We're calling them Horoscopes instead but yes

[sturdy compass]

Yeah no, these are strictly not jokers

[violet void]

Have fun with cardarea, I have yet to delve into it too

[sturdy compass]

I will definitely be asking around here

[violet void]

And I will conveniently read the responses 👌🏽

[sturdy compass]

Actually here lemme show off the full list of ideas for this card type

[violet void]

Aries is going to be pain and not compatible with mods

[tender gale]

Is matador not?

[violet void]

Matador is not efficient in what it does, as in it doesn't trigger with all boss blinds

In vanilla, so let alone in modded blinds

Astra either hard codes it or makes it work like matador

[tender gale]

My Zodiac cards are much simpler

+5 chips to all cards of a specific type and then increase by 3

[violet void]

A few things that need correction

config = { extra = { threes = 0 } },

for i = 1, played_cards do

[tender gale]

👍

[runic pecan]

Which keyword in {C:} do I use on Negative,
edition or dark_edition?

[sturdy compass]

C:dark_edition

[tender gale]

I've been trying to figure out how to copy since yesterday

This effect is really hard to use

[wintry solar]

Isn’t it just copy_card(original_3, card_to_change)

[tender gale]

idk how to define what cards need to be changed

[wintry solar]

What’s the effect again?

[tender gale]

If played hand contains a three and two other cards, transform them into the three

for a triangle Joker

[wintry solar]

Okay so how are you identifying the 3?

[random sleet]

eremel you should play thac /j

-# oops this is dev chat sorgy-

[wintry solar]

I still have your original version downloaded 🤣
-# I will when I play the game again lol

[wintry solar]

That’s looking for cards with an id of 0 and doing it across all cards for every card

[tender gale]

oops

[wintry solar]

You can do it all in context.after

Lemme write some rough outline code for how I’d do it

[long sun]

Ooh more Tarots!

[runic pecan]

Which vanilla sound is closest to clock ticking?

[sturdy compass]

probably generic1

[wintry solar]

if context.after then
  if #scoring_hand ~= 3 then return {}, false end
  local threes = {}
  for _, card in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
    if card:get_id() == 3 then
      threes[#threes + 1] = card
    end
  end
  if #threes == 1 then
    for _, card in pairs(context.scoring_hand) do
      if card ~= threes[1] then
        copy_card(threes[1], card)
      end
    end
  end
  return {}, true
end

I’m pretty sure this will work but it is mobile typed

[sturdy compass]

#context.scoring_hand instead of #scoring_hand lol

[tender gale]

I did that, but currently, it turns all scoring cards into threes, but only if a three is scored

so it turns your threes into threes unless you have splash

[sturdy compass]

Yes that does look like what the code is doing

[wintry solar]

Oh not better calc 👎

[tender gale]

I changed it to G.play.cards and it works

[wintry solar]

But that’ll include non scoring cards

[sturdy compass]

I genuinely have no clue if my code is on better calc or not ngl

[wintry solar]

What smods version are you on?

[sturdy compass]

I've been updating somewhat consistently so it should be a somewhat recent version

[tender gale]

its intended to actually

[wintry solar]

Well that’s not what you said 🤣

Though I suppose how I interpreted it isn’t possible

[sturdy compass]

Found the version. I'm on 1.0.0~ALPHA-1321a

[wintry solar]

That’s fine then

[sturdy compass]

Ok cool. I didn't know if there was something specific I had to do for better calc or not

[runic pecan]

How do I check if context.consumeable is a c_world?

[tight thistle]

i downloaded jimbo's pack to see how it handles jokers with text boxes but it seems to just crash when i hover over certain jokers? but the crash says its from common_events.lua

could something be wrong with my game files or is this just the mod's fault entirely?

ah, reading more it seems that there are a few items regarding the mod itself

[tender gale]

ok, I think its because of the return {} but a little orange square shows up with no message after every hand

[wintry solar]

Try return nil instead

[tender gale]

I also tried to make it send a message when triggering but that has the unintended consequence of breaking its effect

[tender gale]

still same

[wintry solar]

No brackets

[tender gale]

ok now it still has a square but only when the effect doesn't trigger

weird

[wintry solar]

Same in the non trigger check at the top

[tender gale]

alr thanks

[wintry solar]

Though you should absolutely be developing on better calc, not a month old smods build

[wild patrol]

What's the function used by the emperor to create 2 random tarot cards

[tender gale]

doesnt bettercalc not work

[wild patrol]

Wondering if I use that on pot of greed to create a second version of pot of greed to get the plus 2 effect working

[wintry solar]

Better calc didn’t work for less than 24 hours nearly three weeks ago

[foggy carbon]

that >24h period lined up with me learning how balatro modding worked lol

[tender gale]

where can I download better calc

[rough furnace]

its just the latest steamodded

[tender gale]

ok

[vocal verge]

I can't wait for Jan 25

I get to patch license joker to be permanently debuffed

Wonder how hard it would be to check for date and update based on that

[random sleet]

what lol

[vocal verge]

24th Jan 2025 expiry date

[gaunt thistle]

amazing

[random sleet]

thats fantastic that its so soon

[vocal verge]

God discord mobile sucks on bad internet

[rough furnace]

you can check dates

[vocal verge]

Is it possible to simply display text? Cause now I really wanna flesh this out

Add consumables that refresh dates and display it on the joker

Not as a little pop up but directly on the art

[rough furnace]

like for debugging?

you can print and look at the lovely console or install DebugPlus and use it's console

otherwise you can put varibales in the descriptions of jokers

[vocal verge]

I mean like straight up text on the joker that gets updated

But I guess doing it in the description would be better

And simpler for my doggy brain

[rough furnace]

you can update the sprite but as far as I know you would need to make a sprite for every text, or probably use some shader witchcraft

[foggy carbon]

how would I spawn a specific other joker? I looked at Riff-raff's code but I don't see where it defines which joker to spawn

[rough furnace]

you can set a key

Look at SMODS.create_card

it's a bit easier to use

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-facing-utilities

[vocal verge]

only shader work i'm able to do is throwing shade so description it is

[crisp coral]

oh my god that gets embedded everywhere now 😭

[maiden phoenix]

It was funny the first time but now I hate it lol

[crisp coral]

we take our work very seriously

[maiden phoenix]

The common people already find it hard to get Steamodded now they'll definitely think it's not serious

[foggy carbon]

switching to add_card because apparently create_card doesn't actually place the joker in the joker slot

[maiden phoenix]

Yea create_card is just to create the card, but it doesn't place it

[wild patrol]

So I can't use the create_card function to put a tarot card in the consumables slot

[maiden phoenix]

No you use the add_card util

[wild patrol]

So this is completely different from add_card?

[maiden phoenix]

Add_card is like a step above create_card

[wild patrol]

Do I even need create card?

Or is add card enough

[maiden phoenix]

Add_card is enough 👍

[wild patrol]

Ok

That's why I was confused

[spring lantern]

i must create more jimbos. my jimbo army must grow.

[vocal verge]

big fan of Jimbro just being a gym bro

[spring lantern]

that's the idea lul

[zealous glen]

@frosty dock y’know with the new optional features, Quantum Ranks could be suboptimized at least for release. Or maybe have a version with optimized limited functionality in addition to the full, suboptimal version

[zealous glen]

@acoustic kiln

[frosty dock]

🤔

[runic pecan]

Is context.consumeable.key == 'c_world' correct for checking if the used consumeable is a The World?

[summer shard]

Found an issue in sylvieSilly but can't find the thread for it.

I tried deleting the ,

which removed the error

But then the game crashed without even a log

soooo

not sure what to do

Is there a name I can put there?

[spring lantern]

more...

(downgraded dealer to uncommon i was gonna make it stronger but didnt bother)

[summer shard]

Nothing seems to work, tried replacing it with "local fortune_jokers = pack_pools['Fortune'] and pack_pools['Fortune']['Joker'] or {}
local suits_jokers = pack_pools['Suits'] and pack_pools['Suits']['Joker'] or {}" so there would at least be a value...

[summer shard]

@frosty dock you seem like you know a lot about this and your bio says pings are ok so I hope you dont mind me seeing if you could maybe help me take a look 😅

[frosty dock]

ew 0.9.8 mods

[summer shard]

I can downgrade lovely if thats the issue, I updated to latest to fix a mod needing 0.7.1

[frosty dock]

no that's not the issue

but this specific mod was made for a really old version of steamodded

[candid epoch]

apparently, i cant make symetrical bricks for deck texture 😭

[summer shard]

Ah, it hasn't been updated in almost a year, I'm assuming that maaay be why 😭

[frosty dock]

I can't bother to debug such obviously illmaintained mods

[summer shard]

Ok will do, thank you

[frosty dock]

https://canary.discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1217914433846775918 there's this thread, but the mod is abandoned so I'm not sure that helps

[summer shard]

Its alright, looks like x card is gone as well, im going through some of the mod lists and trying to find what looks nice lol

Thank you for your time

[frosty dock]

np

[tender gale]

am I crazy or does this not do anything? I was trying to see this blind's code since its effect is similar to one I want to code for a joker, but by the looks of it it doesn't do anything

[wild patrol]

dumb queston but how exactly do I use SMODS.add_card lol

[violet void]

You add these parameters in that order, or use nil if undeeded

key should be of interest for your case

[wild patrol]

so do I make this a function or something similar to atlas

[violet void]

Just type SMODS.add_card('Joker', G.jokers, ... ,'j_joker')

[wild patrol]

I guess ... would be the key for the card name?

[violet void]

No it's the other parameters

The key is j_joker or whatever you want to create

[wild patrol]

oh ok

and if it's a tarot Replace joker with tarot

etc etc

[violet void]

The first 'joker' yes

[wild patrol]

gotcha thanks

[wintry solar]

Check blinds.toml in the lovely folder

[wild patrol]

gonna be honest trying to debug errors with lovely is ass

especially when it barely tell su what there error is within ur mod

[wintry solar]

That’s not how add card works, it takes a table of values

[violet void]

Ohhh ok

So the order doesn't matter

[wintry solar]

SMODS.add_card({set = ‘Tarot’, key = ‘c_death’}) etc

[violet void]

That's even better

That makes it easier for you chowder

I admit I hadn't used it yet lol

[wild patrol]

ty

also

what would be the proper g.game function for can use if the card is in a booster pack?

facing_blind i'm assuming is when ur actually in the game

and not at the booster pack

guessing I need something like this if G.STATE == G.STATES.TCG_Yugioh then return true

to tell the game that it's ok to enable the use button when the game is in the yugioh booster pack?

tried the key group name and group key can't get the use button to be enabled

use = SMODS.add_card({set = `Tarot`, key = `PotGreed`})

so something like this?

or would this have to be it's own seperate thing and I use create_card in use?

or just replace smod with function add_card?

[minor gyro]

heyo, is there a way to make a joker double the final result? after the calc

[minor magnet]

?

i took the code for constellation to activate on every planet card used

[wild patrol]

so anything else I should do after this?

or should I set set = 'Tarot' to the custom booster pack name?

what would the game state be considering when in a custom pack?

I think that's my main issue right now

[wintry solar]

I don't know what you're trying to do

[wild patrol]

    if G.GAME.facing_blind then
      return true
    elseif G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK then
      return true
    else
      return false
    end
  end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand(2)
    end,```

elseif G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK then

since it' s a custom pack of cards I don't think the game state works properly?

becausae the USE button is always greyed out

[cerulean rose]

yeah, the game state is G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED

[wild patrol]

i'll see if that helps

[minor gyro]

Is there any open git where I can read ones code?

[wild patrol]

OML THANK U

and it works lol

now the hard part is getting it into the deck or the tarot slot

[wild patrol]

what would be the game state if the card was in ur hand

SELECTING_HAND

?

[cerulean rose]

i think so

[faint yacht]

Can I not display info_queue if the item has not been discovered yet?

[wild patrol]

what's the function to put a card in ur deck?

add_to_deck seems to be it but looks like it's for joker effects?

[minor magnet]

got this error when i tried to copy my joker with brainstorm

anyone has any clue what may be the cause or fix?

this is the joker's code

[faint yacht]

Just don't return anything outside of those events.

[wild patrol]

so just add return to the pot of greed card?

and just have it nil?

[faint yacht]

?

local _card = ...
_card:add_to_deck()
G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
G.deck:emplace(_card)

Sorry, I accidentally set the reply to wrong person-

See the code snippet-

[faint yacht]

Remove that last return true, oop.

[minor magnet]

thank you very much

[wild patrol]

    key = 'PotGreed', --joker key
    set = 'Tarot',
    loc_txt = { -- local text
        name = 'Pot Of Greed',

    return {vars = {2}}
    end,
    config = {
      extra = {

            G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand(2)
        end
    end,
})```

hopefully i'm doing this right

[faint yacht]

The _card is actual card you want to perform actions on... in my case (from where I pulled the code snippet), I use it to copy a playing card and then place it into the deck.

[wild patrol]

I figured when the error screen said add_to_deck lol

but in terms of the structions of the use = function

is that correct

like am I able to use if game states

in that way

[faint yacht]

...is the if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED then check in use meant to add the PoG (tarot card) to the deck of playing cards?

[wild patrol]

and i replace _card in with the key of the card name right

[wild patrol]

yeah

because it's gonna come from a booster pack

and the other state is to check when it's in ur hand to use the draw two

[faint yacht]

Is it meant to be in the playing hand and not just in the consumable slots?

[wild patrol]

yeah

I know sounds dumb

but trying to make it function like the actual tcg

just for extra bit of dumbness to it

[faint yacht]

You'd want to "create" the PoG card again, then, and then emplace it into the deck.

[wild patrol]

what's the best way going about that

wait I think I see

[faint yacht]

local _card = SMODS.create_card({ set = 'Tarot', area = G.deck, key = 'whateverkeyisforpogcardwithmodprefix' })

[wild patrol]

I saw in the vanilla game something similar

Was about to as lol

[wild patrol]

local _card = SMODS.create_card({ set = 'Tarot', area = G.deck, key = 'j_tcgyugi_PotGreed' })
so basically this?

[faint yacht]

Should be it, yeah.

[wild patrol]

alright let's test this spaghetti code out

crashes on use

`

may not be possible to add the card to the deck

guessing I need a area = something?

[faint yacht]

I'm not as experienced, so can't really say much else. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wild patrol]

i wonder if I just remove area from the function

[worthy stirrup]

I know I’m late but do what Minecraft did and have some bricks shorter and flip it on the other side

[wild patrol]

maybe @frosty dock might know

maybe it's just not possible lol without the game freaking out

[minor magnet]

would this be too strong?

and most importantly, is the description clear?

[frosty dock]

yeah base card dimensions are a bit weird for stuff like this

[wild patrol]

was thinking of doing this local _card = SMODS.create_card({ set = 'Tarot', area = G.deck, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, key = 'j_tcgyugi_PotGreed' })

because I noticed the vanilla game has something similar

[frosty dock]

69 = 3x23 usable pixels which sure isn't very divisible

[minor gyro]

What's the cost of the joker?

[elder vapor]

you don't need all of those nils btw

[minor magnet]

mm id say 10 or 5, not yet decided

[elder vapor]

since its a table

[wild patrol]

is there a work around

[frosty dock]

you can make an atlas a different size

might do weird things with other sprites like stickers though

usually doesn't matter too much with back textures though so eh

[wild patrol]

should I use the same texture sheet

or make a new one?

[minor gyro]

What I would do:
destroy all jokers and gain 7x the sell value of all OTHER jokers (does not include the midas bomb card)
10$ or more

[wild patrol]

what I have right now is from a template

SMODS.Atlas({
key = "yugioh",
path = "yugioh.png",
px = 71,
py = 95
})

[minor magnet]

mm maybe i can just give it 0 sell value

but ye your solution makes sense

[valid trench]

I'm using the MoreSpeeds mod as an example and how come it's main function gets called when the vanilla settings tab is called?

[minor gyro]

My turn to need help:
Is there a mod or anything that ensures Imma get my card first round?

[wild patrol]

error seems to be from this center = nil

[cerulean rose]

#1228149931257237664

[wild patrol]

functions/common_events.lua:2256: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

[valid trench]

no () just {}

[minor magnet]

use debug++ and just ctrl+3 your card in the collection

[minor gyro]

danke

[valid trench]

also comma after 95

[wild patrol]

doesn't even lead anywhere but to a end function in the vanilla game for the tutorial

ok

what if USE create_playing_card FUNCTION INSTEAD?

[valid trench]

what are you doing?

[wild patrol]

scroll up and you'll see

[cerulean rose]

check the lovely dump

[wild patrol]

I was looking at the code

what if I add center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base, G.hand, nil, nil, nil ?

that didn't work lol

still returns a nil vaule

[wild patrol]

if forced_key and not G.GAME.banned_keys[forced_key] then center = G.P_CENTERS[forced_key] _type = (center.set ~= 'Default' and center.set or _type)

so i guess I need some kinda force key?

use = function(self, card, area, copier) if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED then local _card = SMODS.create_card({ set = 'Tarot', area = G.deck, key = 'j_tcgyugi_PotGreed' }) center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base _card:add_to_deck() G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1 table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card) G.deck:emplace(_card) elseif G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand(2) end

so maybe something like this?

that didn't work

[valid trench]

is there a way to detect and edit a vanilla uibox as it spawns

I was able to set up what I want pretty easily with Lovely but idk if it'd be better without it

[hardy viper]

hook the function to create it? most of them are something like create_UIBox_xxxx_xxx

https://github.com/cg-223/toomanyjokers/blob/ddce89acb52f024d74306f691116b3dfd51e3c79/steamodded.lua#L81

[valid trench]

well I tried doing that but it isn't triggering and idk why

basically something like this

of course this looks bad but the general idea

I've tried a lot of random stuff but none of it matters because it's not even calling the function like ever

[wild patrol]

so lovely is now saying I have an unepxected symbol near =

which is this center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base, G.hand, nil, nil, G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Tarot

found the unpected symbol

but still center is returing is as nil

[minor gyro]

help?

wait

i think i got it

[minor magnet]

would "transforms into a legendary joker if a soul card is used" be too stupid an effect to be fun?

in more than 90% of games the joker would be totally useless, but we live for tha gamble

[wild patrol]

        if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED then

            center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base, G.hand, nil, nil, G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Tarot
            _card:add_to_deck()
            G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
            table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
            G.deck:emplace(_card)
        elseif G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
            G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand(2)
        end```

best functioning code I can get is this

but always crashes with the center error when I hit use

maybe i'm m issing something else?

But the game crashes...

the game crashes when i discard

[long sun]

(unrelated, but seems a bit OP? with Wasteful, you can get up to 250 chips, which is what Stuntman does, but without the hand size constraint)

(OP for Uncommon, I mean)

[minor gyro]

yh, I will change that, don't worry

[long sun]

(all g)

[minor gyro]

i just put some random rarity and than compare with others

but thanks anyway!

my last duck tape solution

before I give up

[cerulean rose]

you cant call ipairs on a string

[minor gyro]

I still need help y'all pleaseee

[wild patrol]

what can I do to give center a value so it'll stop crashing

[wild patrol]

well I ave up and tried making it it's own function

    for k, v in ipairs("j_tcgyugi_PotGreed") do
        if center.key ~= v and #SMODS.find_card(v) == 0 then
            return

        table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
        G.deck:emplace(_card)
end```

not sure if it's returning the same error or not but nothing mentions center anywhere

any suggestions to try before I give up for the day

[solar eagle]

how does one render multilayer cards like Soul?

[wild patrol]

I give I guess I'll just make it a consumeable

that would be wouldn't it?
local _card = SMODS.create_card({ set = 'Tarot', area = G.consumeables, key = 'j_tcgyugi_PotGreed' })

[maiden phoenix]

If your card is a tarot why did you use j_ in the key? It should be c_

[wild patrol]

is

trhat really the reason why

end```

any idea why this keeps giving me this error?

[wild patrol]

little buggy but it worked

just the funtion for drawing doesn't seem to work yet

elseif G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand(2)

guess I need a differtent state

[sudden dew]

The card has no field called children

[wild patrol]

IT WORKS!

[tight thistle]

yes im aware of that but other jokers that use this exact code also dont seem to have a field called children

[wild patrol]

again thank you

I would be tearing my hair out for weeks figuring this shit out

[maiden phoenix]

Lol nw

[sudden dew]

You need some exit condition in your recursive function. As it is, if G.RETURNLOCALIZATION is false, you will continue to call waitReturnLoc forever

[weary jungle]

yes, i want to only return the localization if G.RETURNLOCALIZATION, but i think that if i were to exit, i couldnt catch the G.RETURNLOCALIZATION

[sudden dew]

Can't speak to those other instances without further context, but if you ever try to access a field belonging to another field that doesn't existing, you'll get that error. You should be able to resolve it by having a check like if not self.children then self.children = {} end

[sudden dew]

As it is, your function won't "catch" anything because no other code will run while your function loops infinitely. If you want something that will wait in the background until G.RETURNLOCALIZATION is true, check out https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[weary jungle]

but i need to return something, and i cant return something in an event

[minor magnet]

how do i make it so a certain joker can appear multiple times in the shop?

like showman for just itself

[minor gyro]

showman can appear twice if u have one tho

[sudden dew]

Define the in_pool(self, args) -> bool, { allow_duplicates = bool } method for your joker and set allow_duplicates to true

[minor magnet]

thank you!

[sudden dew]

What are you using the return value for?

[weary jungle]

idk, my code is all messed up

[sudden dew]

We've all been there

But if you don't know what you want the method to be doing, it's hard to help

[devout elk]

How exactly does the sticker argument for the SMODS.create_card function works ?
Currently trying to add an eternal sticker to a joker, but trying to find usage examples of the create_card and add_card function is quite hard

[weary jungle]

this says the exctinct at the top of the joker, and i need it to not do that until i do my events beforehand

[sudden dew]

I see. Any time a message like "extinct" pops up next to a joker, that's also an event that's been added to the events queue at some point. So if you put your own events on the queue before the event for the "extinct" message goes on the queue, your events should happen first

[weary jungle]

it doesnt though

let me see

[sudden dew]

If it doesn't, the next step is to find where in the game's code that "extinct" message event is being put on the queue, and look at the details of the event itself. It may be set to be non-blockable or something like that. An option if that's the case is to patch a change to that event, set it to not block other events, and have it return false until your events have completed

[viscid field]

for some reason I'm tempted to make a HTML DOM to Balatro UI converter even though I know it'd be so horrible

[idle estuary]

Hello I want to create my own mod for balatro, but I am new to creating mods and have never done anything like this, I do know how to code in a bunch of languages but I'm not sure how to get started creating a mod.

[weary jungle]

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

[weary jungle]

i think i might have to patch a patch...

[idle estuary]

thank you

[weary jungle]

yw

[timid parrot]

Remove that from the return value and manually create the eval event instead. Then you can choose exactly when it displays

[wintry solar]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[minor gyro]

please som1 help 😭

[sudden dew]

You deleted your last message. What do you need help with?

[minor gyro]

  SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'poltergeist_jk',
    loc_txt = {
      name = 'Poltergeist',
      text = {
        "Gain {C:chips}50{} chips per remaining discard."
      }
    },
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    cost = 5,
    config = { extra = { chip_mod = 50 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
      return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chip_mod } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.joker_main then
        local remaining_discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards or 0
        local chips_awarded = remaining_discards * card.ability.extra.chip_mod
  
        -- If remaining discards are 0, chips_awarded will be 0
        if chips_awarded > 0 then
          return {
            chip_mod = chips_awarded,
            message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { chips_awarded } },
            card = card
          }
        end
      end
    end
  }

I have this issue and i cannot figure it out. I tried AI too... Nothing. It just keeps giving the same amount of chips
first mod btw so idk alot of the libary and etc

idk if I should update the code every time i discard, so it checks every discard

[wintry solar]

You’re using the round reset value to get discards

Rather than the current amount of discards

[minor gyro]

that's the only mod I found that uses discards, and it's like that

idk how to do it otherwise

not like this either lmao

[barren fjord]

just a question, I'm getting a grey screencrash when loading balatro with cryptic, can anyone help?

[minor gyro]

what variable would that be tho?

[sudden dew]

A glance at Banner in the original game shows it uses G.GAME.current_round.discards_left

[minor gyro]

I have NO IDEA how to check the games code... I already unziped tho

but thanks

[sudden dew]

What operating system are you using?

[minor gyro]

w11

[sudden dew]

Gotcha, I'm on mac so I won't be any help with that

[minor gyro]

y'all are gods bro

wtf

I've been 2hrs into this shit

[sudden dew]

Although there's an easier way to check the source code, actually. If you go to the folder where you installed lovely, inside there should be a folder called dump. That's where it puts all of the game files after they've been patched. It's actually a bit better than looking at the original game files since SMODS sometimes changes a lot of the source code

[minor gyro]

danke

[manic grotto]

How can I change the names of hands? Like in the run info menu

New to modding but I have the source code open.

[minor magnet]

any clue why this may not be working?

it it supposed to destroy all chemical 7 jokers if you own 3 and give you the money

it does exactly nothing

[tepid crow]

is that from LBAL?

[minor magnet]

yessss

[tepid crow]

nice

[manic grotto]

seeing this, can I just edit this and it will change in the run info?

[tepid crow]

Well you should fix some of the indentation, but my guess is that the v.ability.name doesn't work as you expect? Just guessing here

[sudden dew]

Off the bat, you can replace your logic for finding all your chemical7 jokers with SMODS.find_card(key)which will return all jokers matching the key you provide. It also adds some compatibility since another mod might have a joker named Chemical 7

But your joker

's key should be unique

[minor magnet]

ok great imma try that

[sudden dew]

Also, what function is this logic placed in?

[minor magnet]

like this?

[tepid crow]

no

just SMODS.find_card

[minor magnet]

if context.buying_card or context.joker_main then

[minor magnet]

well i do need to put the jokers in the chemical7 table to delete them later

how do i do that

with the find card function

[tepid crow]

see the docs on find_card here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility, but in short, it returns a table of all jokers matching the given key

[sudden dew]

Put it in add_to_deck(self, card, from_debuff) instead, which is called when you acquire the joker

[manic grotto]

Ok so just changing the name of the hands in self.handlist doesn't work as it doesn't display on the run info

Any thoughts?

[frosty dock]

these are localization strings

[manic grotto]

oh

[wintry solar]

Just use find_card to obtain your table of cards

[manic grotto]

So I'd find the hand names that would update in the en-us.lua file?

[minor magnet]

reimplemented the code, still does not work

[frosty dock]

G.localization.misc.poker_hands I believe

[manic grotto]

thanks

[minor magnet]

wait i found a typo

lemme try again

nope, still not working

[sudden dew]

SMODS.find_card(garv_chem7) will never == 3 because it's a table not a number

[minor magnet]

i fixed the #SMODS.find_card("garb_chem7") == 3 then not having the hashtag

[minor magnet]

ye that was the typo

fixed that

[sudden dew]

Also, your joker's id is probably j_garb_chem7

[minor magnet]

still doing nothing

[minor magnet]

oh ye that may be right

forgot i have to use the whole slug

still not working

updated code

[manic grotto]

i'm sorry but where would i find this 😭
im finding a list called "hands" under a game:init_game_object function

[wintry solar]

What’s chosen_joker?

[minor magnet]

joker selected for deletion

[wintry solar]

But you never define it

[minor magnet]

it's defined in card.lua, hex also deletes jokers this way

and i have used it in other jokers

[minor magnet]

actually im not sure where its defined, but it is a base game function

[minor magnet]

i think i have found the issue, the function only activates after i buy a fourth joker, and it does not give the money

it also does not kill the fourth joker

seems like an easy fix, just change the necessary chem7s to two add a little bit of code which gives the money and then kills the third joker

[frosty dock]

the English loc strings would be in en-us.lua

see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[manic grotto]

tysm

[minor magnet]

ok, another issue, the killing works, but it can't give the money because the joker has been destroyed

no wait that's an easy fix.

[manic grotto]

alright so i've found myself the massive list file under smods, just unsure what to add in once i add poker_hands={}, and the same for the descriptions, not that seasoned on lua or balatro modding. doc didnt have the syntax for everything

[minor magnet]

it was not, in fact, an easy fix.

[manic grotto]

Nevermind, I've figured it out.

[sudden dew]

ease_dollars(your_dollar_amount_here) to earn money

[minor magnet]

oh, so it was an easy fix

ok im just dumb

lol

i was overcomplicating things by having the money as a remove from deck return value

WORKS PERFECTLY NOW

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yes-sir-yayy-kataman-gif-12260883688244422951

[wild patrol]

So I just had an insane idea

I found a nes emulator written in Lua+love

Hear me out a joker card that forces you to play smb1

Or a boss battle

[edgy reef]

Isn’t this already a thing

Can’t remember if it was ported from Balamod to Steamodded or not.

[minor gyro]

roblox is also written in lua...

[nocturne garnet]

already exists

#1230341696957448222

[manic grotto]

getting this error upon launch, i havent edited utils.lua at all

[hardy viper]

engine is cpp

thus if you wanted to interface with it (which you couldnt even realistically do because hyperion) youd use cpp

which you can do by writing a DLL in cpp and linking that via luajit ffi (where all the lua-available functions are using extern "C")

so honestly just bypass hyperion easy as that..

although idk i stopped paying attention to roblox stuff ages ago

[blissful dagger]

How do I get an enhanced card to destroy itself after the hand is finished calculating like glass cards? Since I can't return true like with Jokers, do I just need to come up with my own solution?

[knotty wren]

Hello ! how do I go about adding a singular legendary joker that can be obtainned through the soul card?

[minor gyro]

I was kidding bro 😭

[hardy viper]

should i only say anything serious on a topic when someone else is also being serious about it or what

[minor gyro]

why are u mad tho

Ior aren't you

idk

[hardy viper]

not mad

just providing my thoughts

[minor gyro]

maybe u thought I was being serious about playing roblox in balatro

[hardy viper]

i didnt consider it because it didnt matter to me

[minor gyro]

than no

[gaunt thistle]

I think it sounds like a good idea

[minor gyro]

lmao

[gaunt thistle]

possibly. it's pretty common nowadays for tamper protection libs to run checksums against loaded dlls

robloxatro?

robalatro

[minor gyro]

bablox

[gaunt thistle]

too on the nose

[minor gyro]

ba

blox

[hardy viper]

this is a mod that exists

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1324798014996353156

[gaunt thistle]

ooh ooh what about a fornite collab called "fortlatro"

[hardy viper]

add miku from fortnite to balatro please

[knotty wren]

how to make it so that X mult when joker is scoring when a hand is a certain size?

[minor magnet]

how do i stop my cards from echoing the screams of the damned? (warning: loud)

i wanted to send that as video, idk why its in that format

[minor magnet]

basically what i am asking is why does the message display on all cards held in hand and not just the joker

[wintry solar]

because your contexts are wrong

[minor magnet]

?

[sudden dew]

Each card gets evaluated at end of round

[wintry solar]

add context.main_eval

[minor magnet]

added this, it just doesn't trigger

[sudden dew]

Joker scoring guide recommends if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual

[wintry solar]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[frosty dock]

that specific joker scoring guide is not up to date with new calc

[minor magnet]

works perfectly

[minor magnet]

it works tho...

[sudden dew]

Never been clear on when new calc was introduced. Pretty sure I've been on a version of smods with new calc the whole time but idk

[frosty dock]

it does, but it's not the encouraged way to do things because it breaks easily if other mods mess with things

[frosty dock]

Jan 6th

yes

[violet void]

It was right after the arrow 😭

smh

[minor gyro]

LMAOOO

it was loud indeed

[foggy carbon]

Is there a way to tell if players are using the Plasma Deck? One of my jokers seems to be busted specifically with Plasma

[minor gyro]

is there any joker that verifies how many x cards are in the deck? Like:
it gains 0,10x mult per glass card in deck?
I need to take a look at the code...

[violet void]

ok this isnt written, it doesnt handle the buffer right?

yeah it doesn't

[minor gyro]

thanks

[knotty wren]

can someone help me pls I want to make it so that my joker only scores when played hand is 4 cards, as of now the joker ads X4 every hand

[wintry solar]

if context.joker_main and #context.scoring_hand == 4 then

[minor gyro]

j_steel_joker=      {order = 32,  unlocked = true,  discovered = false, blueprint_compat = true, perishable_compat = true, eternal_compat = true, rarity = 2, cost = 7, name = "Steel Joker", pos = {x=7,y=2}, set = "Joker", effect = "Steel Card Buff", cost_mult = 1.0, config = {extra = 0.2}, enhancement_gate = 'm_steel'},

that's all?

[knotty wren]

thank youuu

[faint yacht]

Alternatively, on same note of Steel Cards, my Anvil Joker checks for how many of them are in the full deck.

[knotty wren]

if a joker has rarity = 4 then it's guaranteed to eventually appear in a soul card?

[faint yacht]

That is Legendary rarity, yeah... unless the particular Joker is not set to appear by its' in_pool function.

[minor gyro]

is it too much to ask for a sample of the code? I just do NOT know how to check the game's code...

[faint yacht]

Unpack it with 7zip or something, then look for .lua files.
But the code for the actual Steel Joker is

if self.ability.name == "Steel Joker" then 
  self.ability.steel_tally = 0
  for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if v.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_steel then self.ability.steel_tally = self.ability.steel_tally+1 end
  end
end

[minor gyro]

have it already

[knotty wren]

this, right? what is wawa and wawa2

[faint yacht]

Notepad++ has "Search in Files" that you can use.

[faint yacht]

in_pool functions have a self and args as arguments. If the resulting function returns false, won't appear at all. If true, other checks have to pass.

[knotty wren]

just played a seeded run

first soul card gave me my modded joker

:D

how can I make it so that my mod has a custom icon ?

[minor gyro]

want to know too

[faint yacht]

SMODS.Atlas({key = "modicon", path = "iconthing.png", px = 32, py = 32}):register()

[rough furnace]

make an atlas named modicon

I don't belive register is correct

[violet void]

It worked for me

[knotty wren]

how to add multiple atlases?

; 3 ;

[rough furnace]

I belive register is just for 0.9.8 compat and shouldn't be used

[violet void]

oh I see, whats the correct way

[rough furnace]

just define multiple atlases

[wintry solar]

just remove the register part

[rough furnace]

no register

[faint yacht]

👍 Removed on my end for next time I push to my mod repo.

[knotty wren]

just made all the icons that :B

what the fuck

[violet void]

It reminds me of that one paperback joker

[knotty wren]

I'm making a mod for that juggler clown on twitter

how did this happen tho?

[soft timber]

Pestrica my beloved

[soft timber]

I love that so much

[knotty wren]

I already knew the code for making custom joker designs just didn't know jack about scoring

[minor gyro]

Would you put this inside the SMODS.Joker for that joker?

[rough furnace]

this feels like your mod is in 0.9.8 compat mode

[faint yacht]

A part of it, I suppose? Here's my Anvil Joker though.

[rough furnace]

I forgor to make lovely mods not use the no prefix mod icon

[minor gyro]

Oh my god I was making it so messier

[knotty wren]

nvm fixed it

still this tho

[rough furnace]

show code

I suspect your mod is being put into 0.9.8 comapt mode

[tight thistle]

i have a very specific question!

is there a way to make a self-destructing joker wait before self-destructing?

[rough furnace]

yeah you shouldn't be using the SMODS.INIT

[knotty wren]

oh do I just delete the function and the end?

at the end

lmao

[rough furnace]

yes

[faint yacht]

Just do it raw.

[knotty wren]

oh so the function init makes it only work on old calc?

[rough furnace]

no its something from really old steamodded versions that theres still a bit of comaptibiltiy for but you shouldn't use

[knotty wren]

that explains lot

[wintry solar]

I wonder if in beta we just wipe the compat layer

[knotty wren]

hold on gotta change the code for another mod

[minor gyro]

return math.floor(allsteel/4)
why tho?

[rough furnace]

maybe only for mods with json metadata

[knotty wren]

thanks!

[violet void]

wait how long

[faint yacht]

I specifically want a full amount of sets of 4 Steel Cards.

[minor gyro]

oh ok

[knotty wren]

hey I removed the function and now the mod doesn't work?

[tight thistle]

a couple seconds? enough for a text box to be readable and a voice line to be audible

[violet void]

a few events can do that probably

[rough furnace]

you can delay events

[rough furnace]

how so?

[weary jungle]

how would i, for no reason at all, patch a smods patch?

[rough furnace]

smods patches load before normal priority patches so just put what the file looks like after smods patches it

[weary jungle]

ok

thanks

[knotty wren]

NVM fixed it, i had a debug deck with the joker before the change and when continuing the run it was basically trying to get a joker that didn't exist, just had to make a new deck

[weary jungle]

where is SMODS.calculate_context?

[wintry solar]

smods/src/utils.lua

[orchid thunder]

is there a way to activate add to deck in calculate

[wintry solar]

why would you want to do that

[orchid thunder]

its a long story

long story shory scalae(cryptid) does not work in add_to_deck and only calculate

[wintry solar]

what does scalae do?

[orchid thunder]

scale caling jokers by a degree polynomial

[wintry solar]

then why do you need add to dekc in calculate?

[orchid thunder]

because the scaling happens when added to deck

[orchid thunder]

this is code so far

[knotty wren]

is there an alternative for playing hand instead of just scoring?

[night pagoda]

context.full_hand I think

[knotty wren]

crash ; 3 ;

[wintry solar]

what for?

[knotty wren]

it only gives mult when there's 4 scoring cards

[wintry solar]

G.play.cards

[knotty wren]

not like a hand with 3 scoring cards and 1 non scoring card

where can I see example of jokers code in the base game?

[minor gyro]

how can I check how many glass cards are in the deck?

[tight thistle]

quick question! in text, what are the values E, S and s?

i assume S and s correspond to font size, but what about E?

[minor gyro]

s is for size, s:0.8 would make it smaller.

Never seen E tho

maybe edition?

[tight thistle]

ohhh true, maybe it adds some sort of glow to the text

i found it in another mod and was curious, thanks for the answer!

[minor gyro]

np

[wintry solar]

E is for effect

[minor gyro]

makes sense

[minor gyro]

can u help me at this tho?

[minor gyro]

.

[wintry solar]

just iterate through the deck and count them

[minor gyro]

with a for loop?

the thing is

does G.deck exist? or something like that

for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
if v.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_steel then self.ability.steel_tally = self.ability.steel_tally+1 end
end
end

that's the stone card code

[wintry solar]

you're going to have to get used to looking at code that already exists and adapting it

[minor gyro]

yhyh

ik
