If it is I may be stupid, however this was the first result when I searched for it online lol

[normal crest]

the built in method has a #

--#region name

[sturdy compass]

I seeeee

[native cargo]

Yeah that's how I'm using it.

[crisp coral]

holy shit huge?

[verbal surge]

vscode users discovering region folding

cant wait for vscode users to discover ctrl shit l

[gaunt thistle]

ctrl shit l

I use notepad to write code 😎

[wild patrol]

What Ctrl shit l do

[gaunt thistle]

stool softener

[wild patrol]

Finally

Something for my shit bucket

[gaunt thistle]

wehtn ehf bukcet shit hits fan the

[silk dock]

how can i make a custom suit appear below the default ones instead of above

[edgy reef]

Actually I wonder if regions even work with nvim

[silk dock]

and also not appear in the starting decks

[wild patrol]

I got bored decompiled the APK for balatro

Wonder if it's possible to mod balatro on Android to

[gaunt thistle]

you can't decompile the apk unfortunately

not possible

and you can't talk about modding non-pc platforms ;-)

[wild patrol]

I got it to decompile just can't get it to recompile with APK tool

[gaunt thistle]

hint hint

[wild patrol]

The code nearly the same as PC version

How come it's restricted to PC version?

[gaunt thistle]

those are the rules unfortunately

it would be a pretty bad look if breaking apple's and google's TOS was allowed here

[wild patrol]

Google's probably only did that because of the modded YouTube app lol

Apple just apple

But I guess business is business

Dude gotta make money so

Understandable

[gaunt thistle]

yep! it's pretty configurable too

[silk dock]

im adding a new rank and a new suit but i dont want them to appear in the decks at the start, how can i disable that?

and how can i move the suit below the other suits so it's not the first one

(no texture for the new rank its just a 2)

[random sleet]

you have to specifically remove them from the deck yourself

[silk dock]

oh i just noticed in_pool exists

for the ranks and suits

[faint yacht]

...where's the soul_pos under card.children to target for :set_sprite_pos?

[woeful tundra]

I have made 2 seperate mods, and wnt to give myself a joker from another mod, evertime i load that deck it crashes, but works fine when I dont try to give myself the other joker

tried using add_joker() with the key for the joker I made, the joker appears in the collection correctly as well

[silk dock]

nvm still dont know what im doing lol

[slender island]

renaming every joker to joper (jopa - ass in russian) is pretty tiring work but it worth wasted time

[frosty dock]

floatingSprite, not sure of the case though

might be floating_sprite

[faint yacht]

Yeah, found a bit earlier with enough digging. Got some stuff to do with that later.

[woeful tundra]

How do I go adding a joker to a deck that I created, I created the deck and it works fine, but when I go to add the new joker to the deck at start of the game it crashes, I can add other jokers fine, and the new joker does show up in the collection screen correctly

        Local variables:
         joker = string: "LeapfrogDeck_overunderjoker"

[native cargo]

Am I able to access the Global GAME? or can I only do it through specific functions?

[tall wharf]

G

[tall wharf]

i think you want G.GAME

[native cargo]

I'll do some more testing, I'm attempting to get comfortable with Lovely patches since I want to make another "Currency" of sorts to micromanage. Basically I'm adding in globals and just making sure they're put in the game. I'll see if that works

[opal spade]

if youre making a smods mod you can define globals w/o the need of a lovely patch

since its a run global you'd just need to hook the function that sets the run globals

[native cargo]

Okie dokie, thank you

[modern kindle]

im trying to create a similar joker in the way of working to misprint, is there a way i can make the text work like that card? ive tried using the dynatext but i cant seem to make it apply

[native cargo]

How would I go along editing the hud? I want to set the money box's width to the same size as the hands/discards and add another for my "Currency".

[wild patrol]

Try digging for how the card works in the vanilla game

And modify it from there

It's usually what I do when a card I got does something similar to a vanilla game card

[naive sun]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create my first mod with Steamodded.
The goal is to create a joker that scales every time the money increases during a round.
Looking at the way money is managed I have the impression that the only entry point is G.GAME.dollar_buffer but I have no idea how to manipulate that. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

[maiden phoenix]

Something like Bootstraps?

[naive sun]

Not really, my joker description is here: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1230094975539089428

It's more like Campfire but is also sensitive to obtaining currency when cards are played (Gold seal, Golden Ticket, Rough Gem etc...)

[maiden phoenix]

A bad idea I have is to save the current money you have in your joker and with an updatefunction, if your money ever increase, modify said saved value in your joker and increase the Xmult

[wintry solar]

You just hook ease dollars

[bold sleet]

Alright, first question from me of the day: How the heck do I make these checkboxes? (how to make them appear, how to make them actually do something)

[modern kindle]

It might be because I'm exhausted so forgive my stupid questions today

In regards to the chariot, is there a straightforward way I can make it so on use it applies steel to another card at random in the deck?

[sudden meadow]

create_toggle()

its in UI_definitions.lua

[bold sleet]

ah

thanks

[sudden meadow]

np

[bold sleet]

and where do I place it inside my menu?

jancky af but idk

I don't know how else one makes vertically stacked text.

[maiden phoenix]

Insides your nodes
Here's an example:

...
{n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cl", padding = 0}, nodes = {
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = { align = "cl", padding = 0.05 }, nodes = {
                create_toggle{ col = true, label = "", scale = 1, w = 0, shadow = true, ref_table = SDM_0s_Stuff_Config, ref_value = "limit_moon_base" },
            }},
            {n = G.UIT.C, config = { align = "c", padding = 0 }, nodes = {
                { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "Limit Moon Base", scale = 0.45, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT }},
            }},
        }},
...

[bold sleet]

thanks

[wicked hornet]

hey im working on a joker mod with a couple of my friends and i cant figure out how rng works

[random sleet]

pseudorandom returns a number between 0 and 1 based on the runs seed and the key you give it

[wicked hornet]

yeah ive figured that out by looking at the example code but i cant figure out how i compare that to a whole number

(ss taken from joker example)

[random sleet]

you dont compare it to a whole number

[wicked hornet]

?

[random sleet]

G.GAME.probabilities.normal is your "luck" factor

its normally 1 but gets doubled by oops all sixeses

[wicked hornet]

im not really used to lua lol sorry, its all a little confusing

[naive sun]

If I decide to monitor the variable G.GAME.dollars, the calculation of the mult is done before the actual update of the money so the mult cannot be taken into account for the current hand.
If I decide to use the variable G.GAME.dollar_buffer I do not get all the occurrences of change (ex: Gold Seal + Gold Card with Golden Ticker = +7 dollars and not +3 and +4).
So I do not know if it is possible to realize my Joker...

[random sleet]

so "G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds" here can be better written as "1 in 6"

[wicked hornet]

got it

[random sleet]

since extra.odds is 6

[maiden phoenix]

Try what Eremel said

[wicked hornet]

makes a lot more sense now

ty

[random sleet]

you check if the pseudorandom is less than 1/6th etc

[wicked hornet]

theoretically if i set the odds to 1 in 1000 this would still work right

[random sleet]

yep

[wicked hornet]

got it

tysm

[random sleet]

you could set the odds to 1000 in 1 too, its just usually pointless to do so

[naive sun]

Try what Eremel said

[random sleet]

-# how did you know

legendary thread name

[wicked hornet]

one more question

my textures arent working correctly

and im not sure why

im pretty sure my atlas is set up correctly

[wooden badge]

Anyone know the easiest way to check if a particular instance of a joker is NOT in the overlay menu?

I'm sure there is an array somewhere that includes all the generations of the colleciton jokers I just can't find it, smh

[wintry solar]

You need a 1x and 2x atlas

[wicked hornet]

do i need to add both to the atlas because i have 1x and 2x versions of the file

[wintry solar]

The 2x needs to be twice the size

[wicked hornet]

it is twice the size

[tall wharf]

bocchi

[spring lantern]

make sure they're named properly maybe

[wintry solar]

It’s not twice the size if you’re getting that issue

[wicked hornet]

yeah mb i misremembered or smthn

[wooden nexus]

Morning to all of you who was asleep when i was working on something cursed

[spring lantern]

cookin a lil sum

[wooden nexus]

You are cooking indeed

[spring lantern]

why does it look so blurry fucks sake

[wooden nexus]

Meanwhile I’m making cursed content

[royal ridge]

how would you handle should_draw_shadow with enhancements?

seems like ignore_shadow is exclusive to edition stuff

[wintry solar]

Should be able to set the property on the card in set ability iirc

[tall wharf]

K♠️ got real

[nocturne garnet]

did you put your 1x sprite in the 2x folder

[tall wharf]

after years of Baron trauma he finally decided to get real

[wicked hornet]

i forgot to double the size

[tall wharf]

ah

btw if the double size sprite looks wrong

there's a script that helps make it look better iirc

[sudden meadow]

Hi, i am having an error when I'm making a new deck

this is my en-us file

[sudden meadow]

I want to use my localized text at 'b_poker' in the deck code

but it errors when i put localize('b_poker")

[tall wharf]

you didn't add mod prefix to the en-us.lua

[wintry solar]

You also don’t need the loc_txt if you’re using a file

[tall wharf]

true yeah

[sudden meadow]

if i have my en-us file i dont have to put the loc_txt?

[tall wharf]

yea

make sure the key is b_<YOURMODPREFIX>_poker instead of b_poker

[sudden meadow]

oh

lol

that makes sense

[tall wharf]

now how do i make custom music for a booster pack

[sudden meadow]

that sounds cool i have no idea

are you going to match the chord progression

so that in blends in

bc thatd be sick

[tall wharf]

i tried

[sudden meadow]

yayyy

[tall wharf]

yay

🎉"

[sudden meadow]

i found some stuff for controlling music changes at G.SETTINGS.music_control

in misc_functinos.lua there is some functions like play_sound and modulate_sound as well

i shorted the file to just what you probably care about

[tall wharf]

my music sucks LMAO

[sudden meadow]

i kinda like it

[wooden nexus]

You got the normal version. I got the cursed version

[sudden meadow]

is that full res lmao

[wooden nexus]

It’s the same size as any 2x texture

[sudden meadow]

to make mine i just messed around in aseprite for like 30 minutes

[sudden meadow]

LOL

im trying to make a multiplayer game mode

poker rules

[wooden nexus]

Oh so not balatro multiplayer, just straight up poker

[tall wharf]

😭

[sudden meadow]

yeah straight up poker, except each player gets a shop after each hand + they have their own jokers and stuff

[tall wharf]

wah

[sudden meadow]

all players will share the deck and the levels of each hand

and to win a hand you have to beat score of the other players' hands

[sudden meadow]

wuh oh

[wooden nexus]

Interesting

I’m just making the most cursed content

[sudden meadow]

wtf

[wooden nexus]

This is HARDLY done

[nocturne garnet]

easiest spectrum deck

[wooden nexus]

Idk if i wanna add spectrum or not again

Only reason i did the stars and moons from 6-suit is because i originally did the sprites

And a lot of concepts

[tall wharf]

i mean

i am gonna make wordle in balatro so

like

idk

[sudden meadow]

boss blind you have to guess the word

[tall wharf]

yeeeessss

[wooden nexus]

Maybe i should recreate this

[tall wharf]

proxima centauri b my beloved

[sudden meadow]

i only know alpha centauri

and kepler 22b

[turbid kite]

heya, apologies if this has already been asked however many times before, but i just now joined this Discord since i was interested in making a small non-serious mod for personal use. i saw somewhere that there are maybe 3 or so different modding frameworks/APIs/injectors available for use with Balatro but i wanted to ask if there was any sort of (at least unofficial) standard among those that everyone gravitates towards and would be best to start with or stick to overall. if i wanted to make a mod, then, which one of those should i be using above any others?

[sudden meadow]

I'm using Steamodded with lovely and i think thats pretty good

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

[turbid kite]

i ask this from the perspective of someone who already develops and maintains a bunch of publicly-available mods for another game (Minecraft) where there is more or less an agreed-upon standard as such for what loaders/APIs to use (really only a choice between NeoForge and Fabric at the moment)

[random sleet]

steamodded + lovely + reading comprehension

[turbid kite]

cool, so Steamodded is basically the go-to then?

[sudden meadow]

yea pretty much

[random sleet]

balamod is pretty barren

and uhhhh whats the third one

i guess just lovely on its own but you need to use lovely to use steamodded anyway

[turbid kite]

i think i might be thinking of Lovely already as the "third" option even though that seems to be a requirement anyway to inject Steamodded

at least some GitHub repo i found for cursory info listed it as such, seems odd for them to have done so

[random sleet]

it wasnt always required

[tall wharf]

yes

[wintry solar]

Maybe the third is that weird one that cropped up last week

[random sleet]

no

[turbid kite]

hm?

[sudden meadow]

lol i like this idea for like "tarot" cards

[tall wharf]

not tarot

[silk dock]

i like the to-do list

[slender island]

yeah, i should do it tomorrow

[solar eagle]

attempting to add info_queue to some cards, they show the name properly but not the text. this is the setup of my localization file, it matches both the base game and cryptid localization files.

something im missing?

[tight thistle]

that badge...

i kneel

[solar eagle]

:3

[atomic edge]

do i need to lovely patch the game if i want to do something everytime you enter shop or is there an easier way?

[tall wharf]

god

[solar eagle]

Q is for Quagsire

[tall wharf]

ok what happened here

wait

[atomic edge]

how do i check which round it is

[lavish folio]

Hey, very nooby question but is there a guide for setting up the dev environment for modding? couldnt find anything in google/pins. I've never modded a game before so i really dont know where to start 😅

[solar eagle]

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

install steamodded

[lavish folio]

cool! will do this when i get home after work 👍

[sonic cedar]

where can i find the info for the boss blind effect triggers? like the G.GAME.blind.triggered thing

[solar eagle]

like when a boss blind's effect triggers?

look into how matador handles it

[sonic cedar]

see im there now but where do i find the contexts they use? like for example, matador looks for the debuffed hand context. where can i find the other contexts the blinds use?

[solar eagle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Blind
? maybe?

[sonic cedar]

ill look here, dk why i didnt think of that

thanks

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation

[sonic cedar]

ill look here too
thanks to you as well

[hardy viper]

nvm blinds don't have a calculate

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[solar eagle]

yea blinds are wacky

[sonic cedar]

would it help if i explained what im trying to do?

[solar eagle]

yea

[sonic cedar]

so basically im trying to have this gain chips each time a boss blind is triggered, and once you beat a boss blind without triggering it's effect the chips reset

[atomic edge]

guys how do i set something to happen at the end of the round?

[maiden phoenix]

Why context.destroying_hand was made to only work on scored cards? This is so sad 😔

[solar eagle]

wouldn't make sense if glass cards played but not scored had a chance to break

[maiden phoenix]

I mean just check for the scored ones 🤷

[solar eagle]

thats how it was accomplished

[hardy viper]

that context is for sixth sense

and the other one

[sonic cedar]

if context.end_of_round iirc

[solar eagle]

you can also use it on card enhancements to destroy the card

[hardy viper]

it's different in vanilla isn't it

[solar eagle]

not sure

[atomic edge]

i tried that but its not working

[solar eagle]

base game isnt exactly the same to modded

[atomic edge]

can i put it in the calculate function of a consumable?

[solar eagle]

tarot cards dont have a calculate iirc? or maybe ive set mine up wrong

but that only applies when the consumable is used i think

[hardy viper]

they have both

calculate is optional

[solar eagle]

makes sense

[atomic edge]

isnt use the one that gets applied when used?

[solar eagle]

yea

[hardy viper]

ye

[solar eagle]

calculate is used on planets i bet

for observatory

[atomic edge]

so when is calculate used?

oh

[hardy viper]

the mult comes from the calculate being called on the voucher

iirc

[solar eagle]

idk then

Maybe its for if you wanna give mult for holding the consumable

[maiden phoenix]

Thanks to smods calculate work on consumables now

[solar eagle]

Ive never seen it used

[shrewd cargo]

how would I apply any changes that I made to the game files after unzipping the .exe?

[solar eagle]

lovely patches

[hardy viper]

calculate is called for all consumeables and all jokers and all vouchers (that implement it) whenever any calculation necessary occurance happens

[solar eagle]

you dont want to edit the game source directly

https://thunderstore.io/c/balatro/p/Thunderstore/lovely/

[atomic edge]

so i want to make a potion that gives luck until the end of the round and i cant seem to find how i could do that

[solar eagle]

example patch:

[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "STOP_USE = 0,"
position = "after"
payload = 'select_more = 0,'
match_indent = true```
adds a new property to G.GAME

[atomic edge]

        if context.end_of_round then
            card.ability.givesLuck = false 
            sendDebugMessage("End of round","MyDebugLogger")
        end
    end,```

[hardy viper]

i don't think thunderstore has 0.7.1 does it

[atomic edge]

this should be working right?

[hardy viper]

you shouldn't use thunderstore anyways but meh

[shrewd cargo]

ty!

[solar eagle]

Im not getting it from there

its just got the user guide

0.7.1 you can get here
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

[hardy viper]

it's almost exactly the same as the github readme tho

[solar eagle]

yea

[hardy viper]

just more outdated

[solar eagle]

i prefer reading it on thunderstore

thats it

[atomic edge]

can someone please help me

calculate function on consumable is not getting called

or i dont understand how it works

        if context.end_of_round then
            card.ability.givesLuck = false 
            sendDebugMessage("End of round","MyDebugLogger")
        end
    end,```

shouldnt this send a debug message at the end of the round?

[wintry solar]

Only if you’re holding it

[atomic edge]

yes i am

but it just isnt doing that

[wintry solar]

What smods version are you on?

[atomic edge]

how do i check that?

[wintry solar]

It’ll tell you in the top right of the main menu

[atomic edge]

1.0.0~ALPHA-1303a-STEAMODDED

is this it?

[wintry solar]

That’s old calc

This won’t work in old calc

[atomic edge]

oh

[hardy viper]

you need cool epic new and improved awesome calc.....

[atomic edge]

should i update?

[hardy viper]

yes

[atomic edge]

i can just download the new one and replace it and thats all right?

[hardy viper]

ye

[atomic edge]

or do i need to change my code a bit?

[sonic cedar]

been trying to figure this out still and for some reason playing a debuffed hand isnt triggering the chip gain?

[atomic edge]

ok great

[cedar stream]

so in my code if i am searching for a mod is it just find_mod?

[hardy viper]

SMODS.Mods.id

[sonic cedar]

nvm im just foolish

[atomic edge]

i downloaded the "1.0.0~ALPHA-1326a-STEAMODDED" version so this code should work now?

[wintry solar]

Yes

It’ll trigger loads though

[atomic edge]

i mean for some reason its not triggering

do i need to have the consumable selected or something?

[wintry solar]

No it should just work

[frosty dock]

you should use SMODS.find_mod to account for provides and mods being disabled

[atomic edge]

are there any other mods that do something at the end of the round i could check out and try to fix my problem?

[wintry solar]

Can you screenshot the full consumable code for me?

[wintry solar]

What on earth is this loading system you’re using

[atomic edge]

its a custom consumable

[cedar stream]

thank you

[atomic edge]

is that maybe it?

i just saw it on another mod that had custom consumables

and tried to replicate it

[cedar stream]

and i use SMODS.find_mod in an if statment?

[atomic edge]

it works for the other consumables

not the calc function but everything else is good

[wintry solar]

Can I see where you actual define them as consumables?

[tall wharf]

look at these amazing artwork i made

[atomic edge]

gdog?

[atomic edge]

i know im joking hahaha

good job

[austere tree]

https://tenor.com/view/afuckinggoat-goat-look-point-gif-27066912

[atomic edge]

and what d othe letters do?

[silk dock]

can't figure out how to patch the game, trying to make a test patch and it doesnt do anything (attempting to make all decks remove face cards)

[silk dock]

oh my god abbie mindwave

[atomic edge]

i mean what does that do

[normal crest]

Look in Mods/lovely/dump/game.lua to see if your changes are applied

[austere tree]

My beloved (I'm not posting the sillies convention gif again I don't wanna spam)

[silk dock]

lmao fair

[atomic edge]

oh my god

[normal crest]

That's amazing

[atomic edge]

how fucking smart is this

[silk dock]

no changes

[atomic edge]

i thought it was going to be some meme thing

this is so nice good job

[tall wharf]

the scale was smaller

until i decided to add +1 hand selection joker

[silk dock]

thats incredible lol

[tall wharf]

this is still my proudest joker rn

[normal crest]

Double check your pattern then

[silk dock]

copied and pasted from the lua, dont know why it wouldnt match

[wintry solar]

Oh do they go in a different area?

[normal crest]

Copied and pasted from the dump right

[silk dock]

yeah

do i need to call the patch from the main file or something?

[atomic edge]

yes

[normal crest]

No, if the pattern is correct it should work the way you have it

[wintry solar]

That’s why then

[silk dock]

its in Balatro\Mods\MillionStars\lovely\game.toml is that correct

[wintry solar]

You’ll have to add your new area to the calculation loop

[wooden nexus]

Welp. You know you’re making cursed content if Jimbo tells you your stuff is cursed.

[atomic edge]

and where is the calculation loop coded? which file

[normal crest]

Yes, anything in that folder will be loaded

[wintry solar]

In smods utils.lua

[silk dock]

hm

[atomic edge]

so in order to do that i will have to lovely patch smods?

[wintry solar]

You shouldn’t need to patch iirc

[atomic edge]

oh okay thanks

you mean i can just change the code and thats it?

or no

wait

[wintry solar]

You should be able to hook the necessary stuff or add to certain tables, I’ve not looked at it since aure made some changes

[atomic edge]

oh okay thanks

[normal crest]

Okay this is probably not it, but I'm out of ideas, put a new line after priority

[wintry solar]

Oh actually it’s super easy with a lovely patch

[silk dock]

i actually already did that after sending the screenshot just bc it looked nicer

[wintry solar]

You want to target line 1525 and add your area to the table

[atomic edge]

oh ill do that then great

[silk dock]

so yeah not that either 😔

[wintry solar]

That should make it work fully

[normal crest]

Can you send a ss of the original code you want to inject to

[solar eagle]

before means it places the line before, you want to replace the line so put at

[spring lantern]

anyone remember how retriggering jokers work

as in what was the values i had to return

[silk dock]

wouldnt it work either way? also i dont want my actual patch to remove face cards from all decks, im just doing that as a test

[solar eagle]

No

[normal crest]

Is that the only occurrence of that line of code

[solar eagle]

at least i dont think so, i dont exactly know the context of ur code and the patch

[silk dock]

yes

anyway i did "at" and it still has no effect

[hardy viper]

does it appear in the dump

[silk dock]

nope

[solar eagle]

what's ur patch file named

and where is it located in mod folder

[silk dock]

Balatro\Mods\MillionStars\lovely\game.toml

[hardy viper]

try increasing priority to 15

some smods lovely patches are prio 10

and yours is 0

so

[wintry solar]

Smods is -10

[silk dock]

oh that worked!!!

thank you :D

thats really dumb though

[hardy viper]

idk eremel might have to double check that one

[hardy viper]

np :3

[normal crest]

In that case you probably have another mod that's replacing that line

[silk dock]

all other mods are disabled it's just this one mod i'm making

[normal crest]

I guess that specific smods patch has thw wrong priority then

They're all supposed to be -10

[atomic edge]

do i have to put my mod prefix somewhere

or is this just it?

[hardy viper]

they're 0 -5 and -10

i assume what happened here was a priority 0 patch getting applied before an SMODS priority 0 patch

[frosty dock]

what smods patches are prio 0?

[hardy viper]

imo it should be -1 not 0 so default priority is always after steamodded but w/e

[hardy viper]

joker retriggers and joker size

[frosty dock]

joker size was missed in review, oops

[spring lantern]

speaking of joker retriggers how do i do that stuff 🥲

[hardy viper]

magic

[spring lantern]

thanks

[normal crest]

When in doubt check the wiki

[spring lantern]

i am checking it as we speak and am finding zero help

i must be stupid or smn

[wintry solar]

No don’t do this

Joker retriggers should be moved back to -10 too

@atomic edge You target the target comment line and use a before patch

[cedar stream]

how would one fetch a table of all jokers sold in your current run

[atomic edge]

by target you mean literally target = "" or just to put the target comment into the pattern?

[wintry solar]

The target comment is the pattern

That’s what they’re there for

[atomic edge]

oh

okay

[solar eagle]

i believe you'd have to track this yourself

[cedar stream]

well its for a card for a mod

[solar eagle]

ok

[wintry solar]

Then your payload will just be like t[#t+1] = G.drink_area

[normal crest]

Okay I looked and didn't find it either, but there's this #💻・modding-dev message

[cedar stream]

this

[wintry solar]

Retriggers are on the calculate functions page

[normal crest]

And apparently retriggering jokers is an optional feature now?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[solar eagle]

yeah i think you would have to track every single sold joker to make this possible

[atomic edge]

i did it

but i think my target is wrong (the path)

[normal crest]

I looked but didn't find it, could you point me to where it's mentioned

[spring lantern]

i've been looking at that page for 15 minutes i mustve missed it

[atomic edge]

because in the loader it doesnt show that it applied a patch

to utils.lua

[wintry solar]

Oh maybe it is missing 🤔

[solar eagle]

what's the base game equivalent to loc_vars? i cant figure out where the game returns stuff like max_highlighted to the localization systems

[spring lantern]

time to see if i got this to work

at least it looks kinda cool

[maiden phoenix]

The art is sick

[normal crest]

Its on generate_card_ui I think

In one of the function files

[solar eagle]

lemme look

[wintry solar]

Yeah retriggers checks are missing, I’ll add them to docs later tonight

[normal crest]

Thank youuu

[spring lantern]

thanks!!

[cunning creek]

I've never touch Lua and want to start modding, any tips on what to learn to start?

[wintry solar]

This is the context though, and you just return repetitions = X
{retrigger_joker_check = true, other_card = card, other_context = context, other_ret = _ret}

[normal crest]

Are you familiar with other languages

[tall wharf]

i love programming

[cunning creek]

learning java rn in school, but I learn pretty fast, just any concepts that I need to learn to start modding would be fine (I think/hope)

[spring lantern]

oops!

holy hell it works

absolutely hilarious that it also retriggers the destroy check on the banana

[silk dock]

how can i make my new suit display below the default suits instead of above

[normal crest]

To start modding I'd recommend looking at these examples https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[cunning creek]

Thanks 😄

[normal crest]

All you'll need is to get used to lua syntax if you know java

[cunning creek]

Will probably just search up some tutorials or smth

[rough furnace]

you can change money without ease dollars

[edgy mountain]

im also trying to get started

trying to make it so first hand scored turns to aces

im not sure im selecting card right?

[frosty dock]

the argument for rank passed into change base should be the rank key, not any sort of suffix (which would also be incorrect in terms of what you have)

so just "Ace"

[atomic edge]

how could i change the chances of getting rare jokers / soul

[frosty dock]

also context.first_hand isn't a thing here

[solar eagle]

do lovely patches work on only segments of lines, or do you have to give them the full line?

i have this patch:

[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/common_events.lua'
pattern = '{_c.config.max_highlighted,'
position = 'at'
payload = '{_c.config.max_highlighted + G.GAME.select_more,'
#death cannot be allowed to select 3 cards.
match_indent = true```
set up but it does not work

the targeted lines are pretty much these

[frosty dock]

pattern patches match any amount of full lines

[solar eagle]

full lines got it

[frosty dock]

you need a regex patch to partially match a line

[solar eagle]

ill just do a big block then

thank you!

[frosty dock]

a big block?

[solar eagle]

get the full list of all tarot cards

[frosty dock]

nah

[solar eagle]

and patch each line individually

[frosty dock]

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = 'functions/common_events.lua'
pattern = '\{_c\.config\.max_highlighted,'
position = 'at'
payload = '{_c.config.max_highlighted + G.GAME.select_more,'

just use a regex

[edgy mountain]

had typed the wrong context

still doesnt work

probably missing something

[frosty dock]

these are separate contexts

they don't occur at the same time

[edgy mountain]

oh ok

so just first hand would work?

[frosty dock]

... no?

context.before uniquely identifies the context

if this is the first hand is additional information that's not passed into context

you can check if this is the first hand with G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0

[edgy mountain]

yup, im just slow

[cedar stream]

is there a way to keep track of sold jokers in a similar way as to how stuff checks for used consumables or specific consumables

[solar eagle]

Regex '\{_c\.config\.max_highlighted,' on target 'functions/common_events.lua' for regex patch from problematic/lovely.toml resulted in no matches

hold up

lemme make sure im looking at the right game src version

[frosty dock]

sounds like something smods might be patching into

indeed it does

[cedar stream]

you talking to me?

[frosty dock]

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = 'functions/common_events.lua'
pattern = '\{cfg\.max_highlighted,'
position = 'at'
payload = '{cfg.max_highlighted + G.GAME.select_more,'

this should do on neutral prio

[frosty dock]

no

[cedar stream]

oh ok

[frosty dock]

yes, you'd have to patch/hook the function for selling a card

[solar eagle]

worked perfect thank u so much

[cedar stream]

[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = 'self:calculate_joker{selling_self = true}'
position = "before"
payload = '''
if self.config.center.set == 'Joker' then
    if G.GAME.jokers_sold then
        local contained = false
        for i = 1, #G.GAME.jokers_sold do
            if self.config.center.key == G.GAME.jokers_sold[i] then contained = true end
        end
        if not contained then table.insert(G.GAME.jokers_sold, self.config.center.key) end
    else
        G.GAME.jokers_sold = {self.config.center.key}
    end
end
'''
match_indent = true``` so this should work then right?

[solar eagle]

only thing left then is info_queue not working for some reason

[frosty dock]

hm actually there's something better you can do

if you take this line

[solar eagle]

localization file is set up like so and im applying it to my tarot card like this
info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { set = "Forget", key = "m_TWT_tower" }

but it just does this

[cedar stream]

is it defined in the localization files

[solar eagle]

Yes

[frosty dock]

you can just modify max_highlighted on cfg if that exists. but it only covers vanilla anyways so this is fine either way

[solar eagle]

see first screenshot which is en-us.lua

yea i dont intend for this to work with other mods

too much variability

[frosty dock]

that's because that's not how you're supposed to make an info_queue

[solar eagle]

i copied my structure from cryptid

[frosty dock]

you just put the center

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_TWT_tower

[solar eagle]

how would i do it for custom ones then

[cedar stream]

thats how MTJ does it

[solar eagle]

or is that not possible

[frosty dock]

it should work but I don't agree with the way you're structuring the data here

[cedar stream]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "r_mtg_reanimate", set = "Other", config = {extra = 1}} thats the info_queue

[cedar stream]

then why it no work?

  object_type = "Consumable",
set = "Magic",
name = "mtg-reanimate",
  key = "reanimate",
  pos = {
      x = 7,
      y = 4
  },
  atlas = 'mtg_atlas',
cost = 3,
order = 8,
  config = { },
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "r_mtg_reanimate", set = "Other", config = {extra = 1}}
    return { vars = {} }
  end,
can_use = function(self, card)
    return (G.GAME.jokers_sold and #G.GAME.jokers_sold) and (#G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit or self.area == G.jokers)
end,
use = function(self, card, area, copier)
  local used_tarot = copier or card
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
              play_sound('timpani')
              reanimate()
              used_tarot:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
              return true end }))
              card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize("mtg_reanimate_ex"), colour = G.C.BLACK})
end,
}```

[normal crest]

Try putting it into Other instead

[frosty dock]

or wherever a reference to the prototype object is

[cedar stream]

and yes reanimate is defined

[solar eagle]

you know

sure

why not

[normal crest]

Its definitely fine to do it this way

To put custom text rather than a specific object

[frosty dock]

that's not what I'm saying, with Other set this is fine if there's not an object the description is tied to

but passing the prototype is the encouraged way for every vanilla set, even seals

[normal crest]

Ah I see, I didn't notice they were trying to put an object

[solar eagle]

makes sense

thank you!

[frosty dock]

what am I even supposed to make of that

you're just throwing code at me at telling me something isn't working

[cedar stream]

sorry my bad ```function reanimate()
if #G.jokers.cards >= G.jokers.config.card_limit then
--Maybe tell the user there was no space?
else
local created_card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.jokers_sold, pseudoseed("mtg-reanimate")))
--Previously, it also made the joker negative, but I think this is too strong
--created_card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)
created_card:add_to_deck()
G.jokers:emplace(created_card)
created_card:start_materialize()
end

end```

thats the function that does not seem to be working

[frosty dock]

i still don't know what about it isn't working

[cedar stream]

it is not creating any jokers even sold ones, as thats what the function is doing

[normal crest]

where are you calling the function

[cedar stream]

here

assuming i am understanding your question right

[frosty dock]

does it reach the else block?

[cedar stream]

it was working before even in new calc, and now it doesnt

[frosty dock]

that doesn't answer my question

anyhow what changed since it worked?

[cedar stream]

i have not ever touched it

[frosty dock]

are you sure?

can i see it not working?

[wintry solar]

Hmmm what effects do that?

[rough furnace]

Not sure if anything in the vanilla game does but DebugPlus's money command doesn't use it, and some mod might want to manually ease it for a nicer effect

[wintry solar]

Eh, I wouldn’t expect debug commands to trigger joker scaling

[rough furnace]

some of them I went out of my way to do

like the remove command

[wintry solar]

I guess that’s true, though a slightly different use case

[rough furnace]

but at quick glance I don't belive anything in the vanilla game, debug or not sets the dollars manually

but I would worry more about mods doing stuff incorrectly

[wintry solar]

I wonder if there are any mods that don’t use ease dollars right now

[rough furnace]

other than me

[wintry solar]

Yeah

I can’t really think of a reason not to use it

[rough furnace]

looking through a quick github search seems like noone is setting the value manually other than a couple of people patching ease_dollars

[wintry solar]

Hooking would probably be the ideal way then rather than clogging up update with a constant check

[rough furnace]

actually looks like betmma does it in a voucher

although it's a weird case

https://github.com/betmma/my_balatro_mods/blob/1cae38e10d28d30e13a4d461f7dc5b9e6fabdd75/Betmma_Vouchers/Betmma_Vouchers.lua#L5410

oh looks like one of our example mods uses it for a cheat

[wintry solar]

That’s an interesting effect

I think we need to have a clean up of the example mods at some point tbh

[rough furnace]

yeah

some probably should be removed and all should be migrated to json metadata

oh found another mod using it manually https://github.com/Aigengoku/Othermod/blob/7afa32688e9955c5ba2a2efe583e89b01f7ab5a1/Othermod/Others/Othermod_Tarots.lua#L156

in a couple of the consumeables

[wintry solar]

I don’t think other mod even works xD

[rough furnace]

Another mod (looks like it's at round creation so probably won't matter here) https://github.com/kjossul/NeowBlessings/blob/51da84d65c42bc63631a12683374e3dd02d7ad9d/neow_blessings.lua#L204

https://github.com/Sedisfigh/Oiiman-s-Additions/blob/f1574391c91eb03020700bf77e775922171345fb/Oiiman's Additions/Items/CodeCards.lua#L31 this one does in a couple places

but yeah that seems to be the entirety of uses of G.GAME.dollars across github

so yeah hooking ease_dollars is probably a good method

[wintry solar]

I think all those ways could be rewritten to use ease dollars too if necessary

[rough furnace]

yeah

[wintry solar]

Apart from the betmma one which should probably just lovely patch the interest calculation

[rough furnace]

iirc there was a few weird behavious with ease_dollars I didn't want with DebugPlus

ease dollars has an instant option for betmma's use case

[chilly karma]

hey, I'm wondering if there's a way to give myself a joker in a run for testing purposes

[wintry solar]

Maybe the high score parts?

[rough furnace]

(specifically if money becomes infinite then ease_dollars cannot get it out of that)

[rough furnace]

DebugPlus lets you do this

[chilly karma]

okay thanks!

[small moon]

Anyone know why this is running twice?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if not context.game_over and context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        if pseudorandom("boingular_roulette") < 1 / (G.GAME.probabilities.normal * card.ability.extra.odds) then
            ease_dollars(-G.GAME.dollars, true)
            extinct(card, "Blam!", nil)
        else
            return {
                message = localize('$')..card.ability.extra.reward,
                dollars = card.ability.extra.reward,
                colour = G.C.MONEY
            }
        end
    end
end

[wintry solar]

Add context.main_eval

Instead of the area check

Area checks are only really useful on playing card effects

[small moon]

Got it, what's weird is it only applies once now but it still shows the message twice

[maiden phoenix]

Interesting

[wintry solar]

You just need the dollars in the return, no message

[wintry solar]

Like jokers will always be evaluated with the cardarea being jokers

So it’s kind of a redundant check unless you’re moving them around to new places

[tight thistle]

hello! i dont mean to interrupt, but i still have a problem with my joker's text boxes
i managed to create an event that blocks the event queue which is what i needed to do in order for the text boxes not to be interrupted, however even though the text boxes are in a different queue, they still dont show up. heres a video to show what the issue is

its so close to working, i just keep having this same strange issue

[rough furnace]

show code

[tight thistle]

aye aye

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/xilixiboce.pgsql

[maiden phoenix]

There's so many things I need to consider right now, remove/changing some calculate return, changing the area check by context.main_eval. Makes me wonder if I'm missing anything else.

[rough furnace]

what does jcbb_add_speech_bubble and jcbb_say_stuff look like?

[wooden badge]

does context.after support context.open_booster or is there another way to do something AFTER a booster is opened?

[tight thistle]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/kaharopifi.swift

apologies for the hastebins, i dont have nitro so i cant fit the code in one message

[sonic cedar]

pretty sure after is just for jokers, but maybe you can do it with the event manager?

[wooden badge]

oh sure sure, so set an event to trigger after an open_booster check?

I ask because context.after added support for seals recently

wondered if it extended to other events

[sonic cedar]

i think
granted my knowledge is pretty limited

[gaunt thistle]

hastebin is goated

[rough furnace]

Say stuff is making an event in the base queue so it's being blocked

[wooden badge]

I'll have a read of the events manager api

[tight thistle]

oh shit is that it?

[sonic cedar]

does anyone free know how i would set a variable to true ONLY after a boss blind's effect is triggered? like it stays false if it wasnt

[wooden badge]

look into matador

It has a special context

[sonic cedar]

i was there already but i dont know where i'd change the variable's state

[wooden badge]

i think it's context.debuffed_hand

[sonic cedar]

no ik i have it already like

calculate = function (self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            SMODS.eval_this(context.blueprint_card or card, {
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = localize{
                    type = 'variable',
                    key = 'a_chips',
                    vars = {card.ability.extra.chips}
                },
            card = card
            })
        end
        if context.debuffed_hand then
            if G.GAME.blind.triggered then
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain
                return {
                    message = 'Silver!',
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                    card = card
                },
                
            end
        end
    end

[cedar stream]

how does SMODS.find_mod work and for example lets use a mod prefix of abcd

[wooden badge]

in the debuffed_hand branch just set your variable to true

have it default to false no?

[sonic cedar]

im trying to have this so it can trigger a chip reset if the boss blind isnt triggered

[wooden badge]

ah so you have to trigger the boss blind's effect every hand otherwise the chip gain goes back to nought

[sonic cedar]

yes

well not every HAND

but like at least once

[atomic edge]

you

[wooden badge]

maybe have an else underneath that

what do you mean by 'can' - randomly or through some other effect?

it either will reset or it won't based on what you design

rn it's just adding chips everytime you trigger a boss Matador style

so under what circumstances do you want it to reset?

[atomic edge]

when you trigger a boss blind set one of its abilities to true eg. card.ability.triggeredBlind, and then make another context.end_of_round and check if card.ability.triggeredBlind then give chips else reset

imo

[wooden badge]

oh sorry I might have misread, you want a boss to have been triggered at least once

[atomic edge]

i think so

i mean i understood it that way

[wooden badge]

yeah then this sounds logical

remember to set the bool at the end to false again

[atomic edge]

yea fact

[wintry solar]

If you need to talk through some stuff I’m more than happy to help

[wooden badge]

bc loc_vars don't reset to defaults on repeated calculate calls

i suppose you could just make it local

[hardy viper]

lcoalthunk reference

lua is so weird why are globals the default

[sonic cedar]

if context.debuffed_hand then
            local iscareset = false
            if G.GAME.blind.triggered then
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain
                return {
                    message = 'Silver!',
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                    card = card
                },
            else
                iscareset = true
            end
        end

this is what i have so far, something like this?

[hardy viper]

like
defining a variable = global by default
writing to a variable = local by default
accessing a variable = local by default
defining a variable in a for loop = local by default ????
make it make sense

[sonic cedar]

it is weird

[wintry solar]

This will only ever trigger if the boss blind debuffs the hand

[sonic cedar]

but at the same time i get it?

[atomic edge]

i want to have celestial packs always contain the planet of your most used hand if a global variable is true, i applied a patch to the place in card.lua where it creates the planets and checks for telescope and added it but it doesnt seem to work, can anyone tell me why pls?

[sonic cedar]

well it's for debuffed hands

[hardy viper]

• for loops

[wooden badge]

doesn't context.debuffed_hand trigger on every boss blind effect regardless of actual debuffs, like if you play 4 cards agaisnt the psychic that triggers it

the 'debuffed' nomenclature is a bit confusing

[wintry solar]

Triggers when a boss disallows a hand yeah

Nothing to do with debuffs in the sense of debuffed cards

[sonic cedar]

it was originally gonna be for whenever one is triggered at all but i dont think thats possible
at least with how this is setup idk

[wintry solar]

There isn’t a ‘boss triggered’ state so you’d have to hard code it manually like matador does

[sonic cedar]

but matador only does it for played hands?

[wooden badge]

you'd probably want the local outside the if context.debuffed_hand branch and then just set true inside if it is entered and then you'll need an extra bit after that actaully does the resetting of the chips

[sonic cedar]

i see

[wooden badge]

if you declare the variable and don't define it it will return nil which is falsy

so the check later on will skip it

[wintry solar]

So you want it to scale if you play a hand that’s not allowed by the boss, and reset if you don’t?

[sonic cedar]

yes

[wintry solar]

You’ll have to set two flags within your extra table then, one for whether it’s a valid boss and one for if you’ve triggered it

[sonic cedar]

but not like an immediate reset like play at least one hand that triggered it (so youre not just screwed)

[sonic cedar]

i see i seee
how would i start going about that?

[wintry solar]

You’d want the valid boss flag to be false unless you’re playing a boss you can trigger in this way, so you can set that in context.setting_blind, use context.debuffed_hand to set the triggered flag, and then context.end_of_round to check that if the valid boss flag is true that you’ve triggered or not to reset

[wooden badge]

`local triggeredBlind
if context.debuffed_hand then
if G.GAME.blind.triggered then
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain
return {
message = 'Silver!',
colour = G.C.CHIPS,
card = card
},

        end
      triggeredBlind = true
    end

if context.end_of_round and triggeredBlind then
card.ability.extra.chips = 0
end
`

shouldn't this just work

[wintry solar]

You could maybe drop the valid boss flag if you just do the check in end of round

[wooden badge]

sorry should have the last check be end of round as well

[atomic edge]

if anyone has free time i would appreciate a quick look

[wintry solar]

Not at all, that final block will never be entered

[wooden badge]

i edited it

i might have missed an end

[wintry solar]

I know

[wooden badge]

but you get the idea

[wintry solar]

It’ll never be entered because you’re checking a local value that starts as false

[wooden badge]

oh shit

probably best to have it not local then

[wintry solar]

I also don’t think you can ever get it set to true like that

Debuffed hand should only ever be called when the blind is triggered

iirc

[sonic cedar]

so including the one i already have, i need to set up a different variable that will toggle depending on whether or not the boss is able to apply to the joker? and that'll go in a different context? (context.setting_blind)

then the flag that i set in that setting gets checked at the end of the round? or am i misunderstanding?

[wooden badge]

@sonic cedar you get the idea though, the valid boss check is important aswell bc otherwise bosses that can't access context.debuffed_hand just unfairly reset you

[tall wharf]

qwa

[wintry solar]

Yea that’s one way of doing it, you can also just check that the boss was valid in end of round if you’d prefer

[cedar stream]

is SMODS.find_mod formated like if SMODS.find_mod("mods id") then ?

[sonic cedar]

that sounds way easier actually
is there an example i can look at, or is this more of a figure it out situation?

[atomic edge]

can global variables declared in my mod code be seen by functions of the games code, or do i need to add a prefix or something

[sonic cedar]

stuff about it here
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-facing-utilities

[rough furnace]

js does thisntoo

[cedar stream]

is this updated to account for new calc

[normal crest]

you should use your mod prefix

[atomic edge]

thanks

[normal crest]

if you're not using const/let people will SCREAM at you

[sonic cedar]

i believe so?

[tall wharf]

❤️

[cedar stream]

i dont think new calc does mess with this stuff, but there have been stuff where things were messed with and i didnt think it would

[frosty dock]

yeah new calc doesn't mess with that

it's if next(SMODS.find_mod('id')) then as it's always been since that util was added

[cedar stream]

ok

[sonic cedar]

i see i see
my mistake i apologize

[atomic edge]

can someone please help me here im dying

i even put debug messages above the ingame code to see and it seems like it doesnt even come there

[sonic cedar]

if only i knew anything about patches

[sonic cedar]

maybe you have it routed wrong somewhere?

[atomic edge]

i have no idea why it wont work

i did the simplest thing in the world

just add another bool to an if

[sonic cedar]

you spell “tilt” and it skews the screen slightly

[atomic edge]

not like i coded anything

[sonic cedar]

is forced luck the variable?

[atomic edge]

yes

[sonic cedar]

what if it said forced_luck = true it’s something

[atomic edge]

i could try that

but i also checked the forced_luck variable

and it is true

[wintry solar]

Probably just a figure it out yourself

[atomic edge]

but for some reason its like the game isnt even going through the code i changed

[sonic cedar]

alrightyighty

[sonic cedar]

does it work with the voucher still?

[atomic edge]

yes

but even with the voucher

it doesnt send the debug message i put after the if

so i think some other mod is changing the behaviour here or idk

[wintry solar]

Are you looking at the lovely dumps to make sure your patch applied?

[hushed briar]

does info_queue not work on decks...? im getting a crash when i try to use it

    name = "Filmmaker's Deck",
    key = "film_deck",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    atlas = "atlas_decks",
    config = {
        voucher = "v_directors_cut"
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Filmmaker's Deck",
        text ={
            "Start with {C:red}Director's Cut{}.",
            "{C:attention}Boss Blind{} reroll cost is",
            "reduced to {C:money}$5{}.",
            "Any {C:attention}Boss Blind{} can appear",
            "on any {C:attention}Ante{}."
        },
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.v_directors_cut
        
        return {}
    end,
    apply = function()
        
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
}```

[atomic edge]

i am and it did

[wintry solar]

I don’t believe it does, you have to use {T:key} in your loc txt

[atomic edge]

if you see here i have two debug messages one in and one out

and even if i buy the voucher

the effect of it applies

but the debugs dont trigger

why is that

and btw this is the lovely dump one

[wintry solar]

What do you mean by the effect applies?

[atomic edge]

i mean the voucher works

in game

i thought if i buy the telescope voucher and open a celestial pack it would have to send me a debug message beccause it does all the things under that

idk if thats imporant but the console does spam "etperpoll1"

[wintry solar]

Oh right the voucher

Your messages will probably be lost within that spam then

[atomic edge]

i mean not spamming

like

every time i open something

i would see the messages

[wintry solar]

Oh smods takes ownership of packs so it’ll never reach that stage

You need to patch into game_object.lua

[atomic edge]

oh my god

thank you so much

the wizard of coding haha

wait how do i lovely patch into code that isnt in balatro archive?

do i set the target for the full path on my pc?

[slow ocean]

i dont check this discord much anymore, but when i accidentally clicked, i saw this, im actively sobbing? weeping, crying. im grovelling. a true scribblenaut

[frosty dock]

no, there's a specific format

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

[atomic edge]

thanks bro

[frosty dock]

_ is for steamodded itself, for other mods it'd be the respective mod id

[tight thistle]

okay so since the event happens when not_first is false, i thought to make not_first true
this causes the say_stuff to happen at the correct time, but it also causes text boxes to not be displayed at all, regardless of if theyre being blocked or not

very strange

had to read that message over again, woops

[chilly karma]

how to check the information about the consumeable here like tarot or spectral?

[frosty dock]

context.consumeable is the card used

so for example context.consumeable.ability.set will give you what kind of consumable was used

[chilly karma]

ah thank you!

[tight thistle]

i understand, its because said event is what causes self.children.speech_bubble.states.visible to be true

without that event, it remains false, thus the speech bubbles do not become visible

[rough furnace]

just try puttin them in a different queue

[tight thistle]

put what in a different queue?

the speech bubbles? because they are

[rough furnace]

so what is the issue?

[tight thistle]

this

i think i might have a solution though

[rough furnace]

so put it in a different queue

[tight thistle]

already tried that, doesnt work

[rough furnace]

which queue did you put it in?

[tight thistle]

"other"

[rough furnace]

well that queue is currently being blocked as well by your other events

[tight thistle]

ohh, i didnt think of that

[rough furnace]

either make your other events not blocking (they don't seem to need to block anything) or use another queue

for testing the tutorial queue should be fine

you should be able to make your own queue if you need it

[tight thistle]

lemme see if this works, i also thought of something that seemed to work as well so this is very promising

i might finally get over this problem thats taken me a full week to find a solution to

oh my fucking gooooooooooooood it WOOOOOOORKS

[spring lantern]

balscrabble

[tall wharf]

how do i

set_ability

with string

[tall wharf]

you spell polychrome and all those are polychrome

[frosty dock]

set_ability(G.P_CENTERS['string'])

[tall wharf]

do i need a prefix

[rough furnace]

G.P_CENTERS.string

[tall wharf]

or do i need prefix either way

or more or less set it from name

let's see if this works

:/

i mesed u lmao

[frosty dock]

yeah string.split isn't real

[spring lantern]

hello smart people of balatro is this correct blueprint code because the last few times i tested it it retriggered the joker once as if it were a normal retrigger then retriggered it again but correctly doing the blueprint animation

[tall wharf]

i wish

[frosty dock]

i think you can use string.match with lua patterns

or

i've found this somewhere

function string:split(pPattern)
    local Table = {}  -- NOTE: use {n = 0} in Lua-5.0
    local fpat = "(.-)" .. pPattern
    local last_end = 1
    local s, e, cap = self:find(fpat, 1)
    while s do
       if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then
      table.insert(Table,cap)
       end
       last_end = e+1
       s, e, cap = self:find(fpat, last_end)
    end
    if last_end <= #self then
       cap = self:sub(last_end)
       table.insert(Table, cap)
    end
    return Table
 end

[tall wharf]

pretend the functions are real

[frosty dock]

if it's not real, just pretend it is

[rough furnace]

speaking of string methods I have a string.trim method in DebugPlus's util

[tall wharf]

let's go

[rough furnace]

scribblenauts behaviour

[maiden phoenix]

Lemme know when the repo is updated w/ this, really want to give it a try

[spring lantern]

this son of a bitch has been making me feel like a completely incompetent moron for the last 5 days and i don't know how much longer i can take it

[tight thistle]

i need to know something else real quick!
i saw someone post how to scale delay with game speed but i cant find it again, so does anyone know how to do it? i think it involves multiplying the delay by the game speed but im not sure how its done

[hardy viper]

delay scales with game speed by default iirc

[maiden phoenix]

Something like this? delay = G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED*0.05

[hardy viper]

you'd use a timer value

if it's not by default

[sonic cedar]

so i had to do a few things but ive returned
tried a few things

are the variables in the context on the guide required or just examples?

if context.setting_blind then
{
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    setting_blind = true,
    blind = G.GAME.round_resets.blind
}

if so how do they work exactly?

[maiden phoenix]

They asked for a delay with game speed 🤷

[tight thistle]

er, i meant scale so that it remains the same regardless of game speed!

[maiden phoenix]

Well here you go

[hardy viper]

ah yeah you use timer

hang on

timer - string: The name of the timer to use. Default is "REAL" of created while paused (or with force_pause) otherwise "TOTAL". Can take any of the keys in G.TIMERS.

[sonic cedar]

i tried setting that up in my calculate function but apparently lua really doesnt like that for some reason

[hardy viper]

so use timer = "REAL" in your event

[rough furnace]

wait did I make that spelling mistake in my guide?

(you can also use force_pause)

[hardy viper]

true chat

also i thought eremel wrote that one

[maiden phoenix]

They're not required, it's to explain which variable are available in said context

nah eremel put it on the wiki but its just copy pasted from my gist

[dreamy olive]

weird question: as someone who took a beginner java class 5 years ago and retained almost no knowledge of programming, where can I get started if I want to make a Balatro Mod?

[wintry solar]

No no, the table is just all the values that the context has

[hardy viper]

ah gotcha

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh okay
im pretty sure cardarea pertains to which cards to focus on
but what about the other 2?

[rough furnace]

Learning lua is a good step and checkout https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

(I should link the lua manual in this wiki page)

[tall wharf]

in an hour.

[dreamy olive]

thank you

[wintry solar]

So in that one, cardarea is the area in which the evaluated card is, setting_blind is always true (and is how you identify this specific context) and then blind will contain a reference to the blind

[rough furnace]

can't wait to spell negative

[wooden nexus]

Totally not making real playing cards in balatro

[tall wharf]

apparently holo is not a real word

[rough furnace]

it's slang

[spring lantern]

why7 is everyone just flexing on my ass bro 😭

[wooden nexus]

how am I flexing? lol

I just wanted to be included

[tall wharf]

i thought i sent this already but here

[rough furnace]

I might've missed it

[tight thistle]

thanks!!!!

[hardy viper]

np

[spring lantern]

nvm ignore me lua programming is destroying my fucking brain

[rough furnace]

lua my beloved

[gaunt thistle]

lua will do that to ya

[sonic cedar]

so if i wanted to set mine up, the evaluated cards would still be jokers, and a reference to the blind would just be a storage of which bossblinds apply to the joker?

[wooden nexus]

I don't blame you. I'm over here creating my own 600 suits at this rate

[spring lantern]

can someone help me fix this piece of shit i am going to lose my fucking mind dear god

[gaunt thistle]

is that not correct behavior? it looks like it's triggering ok

[sonic cedar]

i mean it DID wait until all cards were scored

[tall wharf]

in fact i just updated it rn

[maiden phoenix]

Crap just launched a game, will try after in a bit

[wintry solar]

Send code pls

[spring lantern]

the problem is that it's retriggering the guy on the left 2 times and the one on the right 0 times

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh

[tall wharf]

i will be going to sleep please report bugs in #1326135270759993364

[spring lantern]

this is the whole thing i think im gonna go take a break before my brain melts and drips off my left ear

[wintry solar]

you just need to check if context.setting_blind and then you can use context.blind to access the blind if you need to, but you can also access it directly in different contexts

[wintry solar]

when is it supposed to switch?

[spring lantern]

basically it should switch after all cards are scored and then again at the end of the main joker stage

except i think i simplified it to just switch when it itself is triggered during the main stage

and forgot to change the desc

and forgot i did that entirely because my brain is dying

[wintry solar]

so it retriggers the joker to the left during card individual scoring and the joker to the right in joker scoring?

[spring lantern]

in theory

am i like overcomplicating the shit out of this now that i think of it

[wintry solar]

you'd have to patch the sprite switching into the scoring play loop

[sonic cedar]

i

[spring lantern]

oh god

[wintry solar]

otherwise the timing would be incorrect

[spring lantern]

patching is so scary i have never done any kind of significant patch

[wintry solar]

the actual calculation though is pretty simple I think,

[tall wharf]

me who patches every time i see the game code i can't hook:

[gaunt thistle]

you can do it!

it's not that scary

well the regex patches are scary but you probably don't need those

[torn onyx]

from what i understand, G.GAME.round_resets.ante is just a number with the current ante, right?

[random sleet]

patching is so easy i patch way too much

[spring lantern]

my only balatro modding experience is making a few mediocre jokers with occasional and very messy use of the event system

[tall wharf]

i did one of those

[sonic cedar]

is there an explanation of this that doesn't hurt my head trying to wrap my 3 brain cells around it possibly

[gaunt thistle]

patching easier in some ways (but more risky) because you can just hijack Balatro instead of being nice to it with smods

[viral stream]

bumping this

[torn onyx]

personally id find the code for the red seal and do a lil bit of ctrl c ctrl v

Okay so, calculation happens at lots of different times, and your calculate function is called everytime the game tries to calculate something. For the game to differentiate between the different timings, it uses the context table. This table is made up of 2 types of things generally, flags to help identify the timing of the calculation, and objects that are relevant to that calculation. The docs you're referencing cover all the contexts that are called in the game, set out as a condition you can copy to identify that context, and then the structure of the context table in that timing.

[frosty dock]

as the main developer of the most widely used lovely-only mod, i agree

[rough furnace]

I wonder what the second most widely used lovely-only mod is

[gaunt thistle]

does lovely's metadata injection count?

require('lovely').version

[rough furnace]

no

[frosty dock]

do mods that have some amount of support for smods but work without it count?

[rough furnace]

but also theres a repo in there
