[gusty sequoia]

But I'm struggling greatly with that process

[teal estuary]

smods has example jokers that you can look at

[gusty sequoia]

Oh neat

[teal estuary]

....am i blind? wheres like, all the example stuff on the github

[gusty sequoia]

I don't know ;-;

[fallen pelican]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/

[teal estuary]

oh, well

in there

[gusty sequoia]

Thank you!

[teal estuary]

[wintry solar]

I should double check that jokers file for new calc stuff

[fallen pelican]

the examples there use mult_mod

[frosty dock]

at the very least it needs to be adjusted for new calc best practices

[wintry solar]

yeah I'll comb through it now

[frosty dock]

such as getting rid of manual card_eval_status_text and xyz_mod+message

[fallen pelican]

how does the boss blind trigger its discards after a hand is sent? I used G.FUNCS.discard_cards_from_highlighted() in context.before and it just queued the discard to happen after the whole scoring process, after which the game itself bugged out and drew twice as many cards as the hand size

[wintry solar]

oh god there are a lot of comments in here that would need editting

😭

[fallen pelican]

my code for reference

[frosty dock]

yeah context.before is far too late for that

i think there's been thoughts of providing calculation interfaces for blind functions

[fallen pelican]

aw, so there's no workaround for now?

[frosty dock]

as of now you'd have to hook/patch Blind:press_play()

[fallen pelican]

[frosty dock]

[wary ivy]

What do I do

[sullen fern]

i'm not actually going to make EVERY word in the toki pona lexicon a joker

i'm just putting them here so i can remove the ones i don't think will work and leave only the ones i think will work

[south folio]

Oh Wow

[gusty sequoia]

Does anybody know how I'd code a joker to give +1 Chip?

[south folio]

theres an example joker in here that gives +4 Mult, I think you can easily change it to give +1 Chip https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/

[gusty sequoia]

Interesting

[sullen fern]

i've set my eyes on esun, lawa, lili, and suli so far

[gusty sequoia]

The files with the actual code don't seem to open for me

[sullen fern]

lili and suwi will have different sized cards kinda like wee joker

lili will be small and suli will be big

(because that's what they mean)

[south folio]

Ok I've managed to make it act like a DNA joker but for Every round, now just need to make it duplicate the card twice and make it only for face cards

    if context.before then
            G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
            local _card = copy_card(context.full_hand[1], nil, nil, G.playing_card)
            _card:add_to_deck()
            G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
            table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
            G.hand:emplace(_card)
            _card.states.visible = nil

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    _card:start_materialize()
                    return true
                end
            }))

            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                playing_cards_created = {true},
            }
        end
    end```

[gusty sequoia]

I got my joker to show +nil Chips :D

Which is progress... I guess?

[south folio]

yay!

[gusty sequoia]

Now I just gotta find out how to make it give a singular chip

[normal crest]

if context.joker_main then return { chips = 1 } end

[sullen fern]

the current planned list of toki pona jokers are
pu (the one at the very beginning), esun, jaki, jan, kala, kijetesantakalu, kiwen, kon, kule, kulupu, lanpan, lawa, lili, linluwi, luka, ma, mani, meso, moli, mun, musi, namako, nanpa, nasa, pakala, pilin, seme, soweli, suli, tenpo, wawa, and weka

if you have any other ideas please let me know

i WILL accept toki pona words beyond pu and ku

[gusty sequoia]

It keeps crashing because of Context :(

[normal crest]

what's your code

[smoky talon]

how do i change the player's money?

im trying to make a joker that either doubles it or loses it all

[tepid crow]

ease_dollars* I think?

[normal crest]

ease_dollars

[tepid crow]

oh yup just double checked it's ease_dollars

spelling is off the charts today

[gusty sequoia]

`SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'Jokers',
path = 'jokers.png',
px = 1207,
py = 1615
}

SMODS.Joker{
key = 'Timbo',
loc_txt ={
name = 'Timbo the Test Joker',
text = {
'{C:chips}+#1#{} Chip'
}
},
atlas = 'Jokers',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
rarity = 1,
config = {
extra = {
Chip = 1
}
},
calculate = function(self, card, context) return
if context.joker_main then return {chips = 1}
end
}`

I know it's not the best, this is because I'm incredibly bad at Lua

[void pecan]

I read (most of) the docs

[wintry solar]

you can just return dollars in calculation

[gusty sequoia]

For context, it broke after the code to give the chip was added

[wintry solar]

you have an extra return

[gusty sequoia]

I see

It still broke because of an unexpected symbol near } on line 38 :(

And line 38 is the last line... with nothing near it ;-;

[frosty dock]

what are you using to edit your code?

[gusty sequoia]

Notepad++

It's still coded in Lua though

[frosty dock]

get a lua extension or something

it'll show you syntax errors while you write code instead of finding them when you try to run it

[gusty sequoia]

Well that's cool

[frosty dock]

anyways your calculate function is missing an end

[gusty sequoia]

Thank you

:D

Anddddd it still says +nil chips... back to the drawing board?

[normal crest]

you need a loc_vars function

[frosty dock]

you don't have a loc_vars function

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[gusty sequoia]

Ah

[grand sage]

my game keeps giving me this error when i try to load my mod yet i have an lua file that's named correctly can someone help me?

[normal crest]

looks like you did something wrong when creating an atlas

[grand sage]

this is what my atlas looks like

[normal crest]

do you have a "GoldFinger.png" file in both assets/1x and assets/2x

[graceful magnet]

I'm planning on making a card-copying Joker effect, can I get a bit of a rundown on what each piece of this is doing so I have a better understanding of how and what I'll want to use? (Ping when replying, I might not be looking here)

[obtuse silo]

you're using notepad to write code?

[stray warren]

Flash bang warning next time please

[grand sage]

Yes I have both the png's in the right places the smaller one in 1x and the larger one in 2x

[frosty dock]

🔦 ‼️

[gusty sequoia]

It has a loc_vars now, it still says +nil :(

[graceful magnet]

Yes yes everyone keeps telling me to find a code editor, I'm working on it, VisStudio doesn't like my machine though

[normal crest]

you have nested folders

make sure your mod is at Mods/mod name/<entry file>.lua

[stray warren]

sublime text is very simple and worlds better than notepad

[obtuse silo]

visual studio or visual stuido code?

at least use something like notepad++ so you don't have it stuck in light mode

[grand sage]

Nah I'm just a dumb ass i named my files GoldFinger.png so it would read as GoldFinger.png.png

[obtuse silo]

pfft-

[normal crest]

you still have nested folders

[wicked spire]

Is there a list of all the color options available any where (i.e. {C:inactive})?

[grand sage]

Ok ill check that out thanks

[stray warren]

yes, definitely make sure you are downloading VSCode and not Visual Studio. Completely different

[gusty sequoia]

Note to self, Notepad++ does have a dark mode, my eyes are saved

[smoky talon]

doesnt work, probably just doing something wrong

[normal crest]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-surprised-gasp-what-cat-shock-gif-635629308990545194

it's a function

[stray warren]

ease_dollars(0)

[smoky talon]

ah lol

[stray warren]

although that doesn't do anything lol

[normal crest]

if you want to set money to zero probably do ease_dollars(-G.GAME.dollars)

[stray warren]

And you can always check what that one boss blind does that sets your money to zero on playing your most played hand

[smoky talon]

that worked

[normal crest]

dunno what the 2nd argument is for

"instant"

[smoky talon]

now i just need to find out how to multiply it

[stray warren]

If you want to double it, just do ease_dollars(G.GAME.dollars). Triple it, just do ease_dollars(2 * G.GAME.dollars), etc...

[smoky talon]

perfect

[graceful magnet]

waiiit knowing this makes life easier.

Okay hold on...

[smoky talon]

only thing i need now is figuring out how to make the probability in the card description update with opps all sixes

so that its accurate like all the other base game ones

[stray warren]

That value is G.GAME.probabilities.normal

It updates automatically with Oops

[smoky talon]

and how do i set it to a specific starting value?

[stray warren]

You multiply that value by whatever you want your starting value to be

so 2 would be 2 * G.GAME.probabilities.normal

[void pecan]

if I want to add an image to a singular card, do I still need a card map or just a singular picture of the card (for 1x and 2x)

[graceful magnet]

okay so there's no way in hell that stuffing literally just DNA's code into a different context will just work, right? I do need to modify some of this, right?

[prisma loom]

why my game crashes when I add these 2 atlases?

(upper 2)

[void pecan]

Not a fix but I can't figure out in the docs, what do I put for the key? Does it matter?

because my game doesn't crash and no errors but my image isn't in the game for my tarot card

[smoky talon]

doesnt seem to work. Ive tried all combos of quotations and parenthises and brackets and apostraphes i can think of, and it always either has it in plain text or shows nothing

im sure im just being an idiot lol

[stray warren]

Can i see the code

[violet void]

did you add the files in both 1x and 2x

[prisma loom]

yes 100%

[gusty sequoia]

I am once again asking how to make my joker give +1 chip (it keeps displaying as +nil & doesn't do anything)

[smoky talon]

this is how i have it right now, but ive tried otehr variations too

[prisma loom]

here

[graceful magnet]

I do in fact need to do that

[stray warren]

You need a loc_vars function. You can't just put it in the description like that

That's a literal string

[smoky talon]

ah lol

[violet void]

whats the crash error

[tepid crow]

one is named THD.png, the other TarotsHD.png

[prisma loom]

I need a hanged man emote rn

Game works but noting in the collection

thats some progress!

[smoky talon]

whats the best way to go about setting up that function?

[tepid crow]

[violet void]

wrong one

[void pecan]

I think I messed up on my atlas guys, bad

[stray warren]

There is some good information on the Steamodded Wiki page on the repo, and in the example mods

[violet void]

probably the x and y position

[graceful magnet]

thinned down the Literally DNA, but the error doesn't really give me any information as to what needs to be adjusted since it's calling outside of my code

[smoky talon]

i know how to make the function, just not how to declare the probability

[violet void]

as in you dont see the black seal?

[prisma loom]

or the respective spectral card

yes

both

oh right I need to import

[gusty sequoia]

Is this part of my code even doing anything?
config = { extra = { Chip = 1 } },

(It then goes to the loc_vars & calculate things)

[smoky talon]

ok i think i have the loc_vars function, how do i call to it in the description?

[stray warren]

You defined a variable accessible at card.ability.extra.Chip, with a value of 1

You can use it however you like

[void pecan]

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'sigma',
    path = 'Tarot.png',
    px = 0,
    py = 0
}

local tarotCard = SMODS.Consumable({
    key = "tarot_card_joker_effect",
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'sigma', pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 0,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Balance',
        text = { '50% chance to turn every joker polychrome',  '50% chance every joker is destroyed', '(Not affected by dice)'} --Would also appreciate help on colors, couldn't find it on docs
    },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true
})```

pic is my tarot (just for reference)

[gusty sequoia]

Interesting

[violet void]

why

px = 0,
py = 0

?

[gusty sequoia]

Does that do anything at all...? I just want +1 Chip

[void pecan]

I was just trying to follow the docs 😅
I only have one card so I assumed that would work

[prisma loom]

is this correct?

[violet void]

that defines the width and height of the card, if its 0,0 it means it has no height and no width

[stray warren]

In your description, where you want the value to be displayed, you do this:

"#x#", x = the position of the value in the loc_vars return statement vars

So if it was the first value returned, you would put #1#. If it was the third, you would put #3#

[violet void]

might as well try and see

[void pecan]

ohhhh I see, thank you

[prisma loom]

game crashed when launched!

[void pecan]

so I need to find the pixel length and height?

[prisma loom]

:D

[violet void]

yes sadly I havent done consumables so idk their width and height

[stray warren]

71x95

[void pecan]

I guessed wrong lol

[void pecan]

thx

[violet void]

the same as jokers?

[stray warren]

yeah

[violet void]

I thought they would have less width

[stray warren]

Nope. But they do have more transparent pixels on the sides, so that's probably what you mean

[void pecan]

does this mean I messed up on my card?

yeahhh probably

[violet void]

whats the crash error

[stray warren]

You have to have I think 4px of transparency on either side, and one on the top and bottom

[stray warren]

So the card is centered between transparency, if that makes sense

[smoky talon]

it works, but it doubles the second number, meaning the probability goes down instead of up

[void pecan]

so the pic needs to be 75x99, centered?

[smoky talon]

if i put the 8x first it would be an 8 in whatever chance

[void pecan]

plus one for double res?

[stray warren]

No, pix is 71x95 total. But some of that space is transparent

[violet void]

are you sure you have a seals folder with a lua file called black_seal in it

[void pecan]

ah

[stray warren]

You can reference how the base game's spritesheet is organized to get a visual

[prisma loom]

wait, why black_seal?

[smoky talon]

wait i think i figured it out

[violet void]

thats what the error says

also its in a "object" folder

why is that

[prisma loom]

I used Ortalabs structure

iirc

or Cryptid's

what's default?

[violet void]

you need to include that for the import then

'objects/seals/' ..

[wintry solar]

he just blanket copied the structure I linked him without taking a moment to try and udnerstand it

[void pecan]

So like this? Plus one with doubled res for 2x?

idk why it looks fuzzy, or if its supposed to

[prisma loom]

the game launches now! But it crashes when I hover over the seal (again x3)

[stray warren]

I think so. But it looks awfully blurry

[void pecan]

it should look pixely, but photoshop auto-blurred and I have 0 idea on how to fix that

[violet void]

its probably something with loc vars, whats the error again

[stray warren]

I know that GIMP automatically applies some anti-aliasing that you have to disable, but I'm not sure with photoshop

[void pecan]

Im gonna re-do it in gimp and its also eaiser for pixel art

[prisma loom]

should I just remove loc vars?

[violet void]

no, can you paste your localization file too

[gusty sequoia]

Balck Seal?

[prisma loom]

oh thanks for noticing

but thats not the issue I think

[gusty sequoia]

No problemo

[void pecan]

do you know of an easy template for the tarot I can find, or how would I get it?

[violet void]

the whole thing if possible

[gusty sequoia]

Tbh I'm just waiting for the other issues to be dealt with so I can ask about mine

[stray warren]

You can extract the Balatro.exe and find it in the assets folder

[void pecan]

It gives a card map

[stray warren]

Isn't that what you are looking for?

[violet void]

other should be inside descriptions

[void pecan]

yeahh, but I only need one card so do I crop, edit just one and delete the rest, i'm really not sure about this part

[violet void]

Voucher as well

and probably spectral im not sure about that one

[prisma loom]

YOOO no way

it works now

holy moly

finally

[stray warren]

That's probably how you're gonna have to do it, since it's the only way they are stored in the base game

[prisma loom]

Now, how do I import spectral card?

[void pecan]

which one of the ones I listed? Edit one and delete the rest?

[prisma loom]

my rough assumption (nvm)

[stray warren]

You'd probably be fine either way, but personally editing and just deleting the rest sounds safer so the lineup is preserved

[void pecan]

alright

[edgy mountain]

can anyone help me here?
im doing a bunch of random checks separately
but for some reason they dont ever return more than on positive

only one check at most succeds every time

[normal crest]

a function can only return once

[prisma loom]

@violet void should I do the same for spectral card?

[normal crest]

typo in consumables in your load_file

[edgy mountain]

should i have every check check a variable and then return everything at once?

[normal crest]

you could accumulate effects

[prisma loom]

thnaks!

engrish is hard

ngl

[normal crest]

instead of returning on each check

modify a local variable that is returned at the end

[edgy mountain]

thank uu

[prisma loom]

whats the prefix for spectral cards in localization file?

s_ ?

[normal crest]

where'd you get that it's s_

it's c_

[prisma loom]

Where can I find info on that?

I just assumed

[stray warren]

c for consumable

j for joker

[normal crest]

it's in the vanilla localization file

[prisma loom]

Ive got this error now:

Can someone explain where I should pay my attention to understand what causes error while reading this report?

this is correct, right?

[lilac tide]

Howdy, new here! Just was wanting to ask if anyone has good resources to look at as far as adding a new booster pack. I can add consumable types easy but the part I haven't figured out yet is adding the new packs haha

Also very happy to go over any docs, rn just crawling through source code to piece things together one at a time

[stray warren]

If you haven't checked the SMODS wiki, it provides a lot of the information that you would need

it's on the repo

[scarlet spire]

is there a function or something that lets me manually trigger/score a specific card?

[wicked spire]

My Joker (Uncommon, $6)
This Joker gains +? Mult every 7 [7] cards played and scored
(Currently +0 Mult)

I'm designing this Joker, do you guys think it should be +1 or +2 Mult per 7 scored cards? It's Uncommon so I don't want it to be too OP

[lilac tide]

ty!

this is perfect

[long sun]

i'm reading through the documentation for sound effects on the SMODS repo, but i don't quite get it — i have a sound called fling.ogg in assets/sounds, how would i play it?

[crisp coral]

play_sound('prefix_key', pitch, volume)

[long sun]

thanks!! :D

is normal pitch = 1?

[lilac tide]

Can you elaborate on how you'd want to implement this? I have ideas but it definitely depends on the use case, like if you're triggering/scoring something in hand vs. scored or whatever

[scarlet spire]

I am realizing that was a little vague, yeah, basically I want to be able to make a certain card in your hand score (alongside its enhancement), even if it wasn't played

[prisma loom]

Is everything correct here?

something causes a crash

[scarlet spire]

have you given the atlas a key?

[prisma loom]

yeah

its 'tarot'

[scarlet spire]

atlas should = "tarot" then

because it's pointing to the key

[prisma loom]

but why my seal uses the name of the file as atlas then?

(and it works)

actual key for atlas here is 'enhancer'

[scarlet spire]

that's odd? it shouldn't, I don't think

you've tested it in game and it appears correctly?

[prisma loom]

it appears as nebula deck

but it no longer crashes

but this one cuases a crash

Oh nvm!

that fixed it

thanks

[long sun]

what does this error mean?

[nova finch]

i know there's a way to check if a hand was played the current round, but is there a way to check if a hand was played before in the current ante?

[marble flint]

it means it can't find one or both scales of the image

or that they're different aspect ratios

[long sun]

oh. ohhhhhh thanks, my 2X was still called Phanta =w=

[lilac tide]

I guess it just depends on the conditions then, you definitely can get info on a card in hand to score it, reminds me of things like Baron that have held in hand abilities and scan through your hand after scoring happens

Actually I was just messing around with some mod that has a similar joker to this haha I can dig through the code and see how that one works

[long sun]

okay got a new one!

[marble flint]

that's not built in not you could make it happen with a couple hooks

[marble flint]

are you prefixes all correct where you're using the atlas?

[nova finch]

can i see the code rq

[long sun]

suresure! i'm not sure i ever used the prefix...?

oh well there was one use in the sound name

[marble flint]

you didn't update the atlas key in the joker

[nova finch]

teh atlas should be the key in your smods.atlas

[long sun]

oh. whoops. =w=

[nova finch]

for atlas =

[marble flint]

us when copy paste:

[long sun]

more silly mistakes with GhostSalt :P

i suspect this error's happening because i haven't registered my sound yet, how do i go about doing that?

[nova finch]

anyone that can help me figure this out? I wanna make a joker that triggers when the played hand is played for the first time that ante

[prisma loom]

What should I add to vars for this part of code?

[sharp gate]

Anyone know how lovely works? Like how it patches the actual game?

[scarlet spire]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches here's the documentation

[long sun]

(bump)

[sharp gate]

thanks

[zealous glen]

not in vanilla I think

[scarlet spire]

I know this is a bit of an odd thing to do in the first place, but i'm having issues with this joker effect? do I need to do more to correctly upgrade a poker hand?

because currently, this code does this

doesn't display hand names when upgrading them, and sometimes shows negative numbers? the outcome is correct but the display is completely messed up

[zealous glen]

you need to manually change the text

[graceful magnet]

So in my attempts to use modified DNA code (completely unsuccessful atm), my current iteration:

        if context.playing_card_added then
            G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
            local _card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, G.playing_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)
            _card.states.visible = nil
            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                card = self,
                playing_cards_created = {true}
            }
        end
    end```

produces a stack overflow, and I've determined I need to do something with `copy_card(*card*`, because changing that changes the error.

But what should I change it to?

[zealous glen]

You're creating a card whenever you create a card

[graceful magnet]

yes

[zealous glen]

That's your problem

[graceful magnet]

riiiight, it needs to have some sort of stop on it

[stray wing]

Is it possible to edit the config field of a deck during a game? Specifically, I'd like to have a deck that gains a joker slot after defeating each boss blind, but I can't find a mod doing something like that

[graceful magnet]

okay, now there's a new one

[hexed briar]

How do people get into modding, is there any documentation?

[normal crest]

the problem is the card = self in the return

self is not a card

[zealous glen]

You can read the source code and also the Steamodded wiki and other mods’ source code

[stray wing]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki is a good starting point

[hexed briar]

Thanks

[zealous glen]

I mean Negative Jokers do it, right?

[graceful magnet]

removing that made the Copied pop-up, pop-up, didn't make the copy action actually happen though

[stray wing]

It does in a way yeah, but what I'm making is more of an art showcase than a playable mod, so I'd rather not deal with the negative visual if that makes sense

[normal crest]

yeah that was not going to fix your previous code not working, just the crash

[graceful magnet]

right

[stray wing]

I could always just set the deck to have a ton of slots to begin with, but if there's a way to increase the joker slots that would be best

I found plenty of mods with stuff happening after boss blind defeated

[graceful magnet]

it's local _card = copy_card(*card*, nil, nil, G.playing_card) for sure at this point I just need to figure out what I'm putting in that slot

[normal crest]

if you're not planning to make it playable you should use debugplus and you can execute lua code mid game

[normal crest]

you're copying the joker being calculated

and trying to make it into a playing card

[graceful magnet]

I figured

[stray wing]

ah okay that was a bad explanation, it's gonna be presented as a video of it being played, so I more meant that it didn't need to be balanced or anything like that

[normal crest]

you can alwyas change the amount of slots by increasing G.jokers.config.card_limit

works for any card area

[zealous glen]

I didn’t say to use Negative Editions, just the effect

[graceful magnet]

I'm struggling to figure out how to change it to be the card that is being added per the context.playing_card_added activation

[zealous glen]

Also Antimatter Voucher does it too

[stray wing]

oh... this might be perfect

[normal crest]

they're in context.card apparently

[graceful magnet]

so, should be saying context.card instead of just card?

[normal crest]

maybe

the wiki isn't clear enough on whether it's a single card or a list of cards

[graceful magnet]

apparently not, that's, something I think

[normal crest]

well the wiki is wrong

it's context.cards not card

[graceful magnet]

it does return something different

[normal crest]

then do context.cards[1], it's a list

presumably it's a list

[graceful magnet]

IT WORKED ALKJSHDLAKJS

but it only works once

[normal crest]

well yes, context.cards is a list of cards and you're only taking the first card if you did this

[graceful magnet]

and that is likely entirely my fault

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.copied } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.playing_card_added and card.ability.extra.copied == false then
                    G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                    local _card = copy_card(context.cards[1], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
            _card.states.visible = nil
            card.ability.extra.copied = true
            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                --card = self,
                playing_cards_created = {true}
            }        
        elseif context.post_trigger then
            card.ability.extra.copied = false
        end
    end```

I thought the post_trigger would be sufficient to reset it but apparently not

[normal crest]

presumably context.playing_card_added happens only once, and you get all the cards added in context.cards

[graceful magnet]

okay so I just shouldn't need it, gotcha

[graceful magnet]

well that's, not the error I was expecting

[normal crest]

what's your code now

[graceful magnet]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.copied } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.playing_card_added then
                    G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                    local _card = copy_card(context.cards[1], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
            _card.states.visible = nil
            card.ability.extra.copied = true
            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                --card = self,
                playing_cards_created = {true}
            }        
        end
    end```

[sweet nimbus]

Sorry if this is a basic quesiton but I'm a complete novice

I'm making a mod which adds a deck, I am trying to get it to randomly pick half the cards in the deck and apply a seal to them

any help would be appreciated

[normal crest]

remove this from your return playing_cards_created = {true}

[graceful magnet]

YES!

THANK YOU!

I am

aldkjfhlakdshjf

[normal crest]

what code do you have so far

[graceful magnet]

A-

[normal crest]

did you change anything or did it just happen

[sweet nimbus]

For extra context the deck actually applies silver seals to the entire deck, I am trying to implement the Card Sleeves mod and there's a different deck that forces all cards to have a pink seal, so I'm trying to get this new Card Sleeve to apply silver seals to only half the deck

    CardSleeves.Sleeve {
        name = "reverencesleeve",
        key = "reverencesleeve",
        atlas = "sleeves",
        pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
        config = {},
        unlocked = true,
        apply = function(self)
            local key, vars
            if self.get_current_deck_key() ~= "b_reve_reverence" then
                key = self.key               
                if self.get_current_deck_key() == "b_poke_obituarydeck" then
                        XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                        G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit + 5
                        return true 
                    end }))
                else
                    G.GAME.modifiers.poke_force_seal = "poke_silver"
                end
            else
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                    G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit + 2
                    return true end }))
                
            end
        end,
    }
end

the XXXXXXX is where I want the whole "half the deck gets seals" thing to apply

[graceful magnet]

I started a new run to test it after I'd checked it worked with Standard Packs, put Certificate in too, and as soon as I pressed the button to start the Blind, crash

[sweet nimbus]

ok i dont know how to format code blocks lmao sorry

[graceful magnet]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.copied } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.playing_card_added then
                    G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                    local _card = copy_card(context.cards[1], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
            }        
        end
    end```

[normal crest]

I am not familiar with how cardsleeves works, so I can't really help you

[graceful magnet]

after checking, it would appear that this also happens with DNA's card adding

[sweet nimbus]

no worries

[graceful magnet]

it only works with Standard Packs

[normal crest]

I think this context is just wrong

as in, wrong in steamodded

[graceful magnet]

Hologram uses that context

[normal crest]

add that additional check then

and context.cards and context.cards[1]

i guess this isn't a steamodded context then

[graceful magnet]

if context.playing_card_added and context.cards and context.cards[1] then yeah?

[normal crest]

yes

[graceful magnet]

ech

            if context.playing_card_added and context.cards and context.cards[1] then
                    G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                    local _card = copy_card(context.cards[1], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
            }        
        end
    end```

[normal crest]

copy the hologram's code return too maybe

return { your stuff like it is here }, true

actually that probably does nothing, but doesn't hurt to try

[graceful magnet]

how much of the stuff, what all should be in it

[normal crest]

just add , true after your closing }

[graceful magnet]

yeah

[normal crest]

otherwise, I guess you're just not getting the cards that were added through your context

[graceful magnet]

            if context.playing_card_added and context.cards and context.cards[1] then
                    G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                    local _card = copy_card(context.cards[1], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
            }, true
        end
    end```

[normal crest]

you're just getting sent how many were added and the exception is standard packs

[graceful magnet]

lemme actually check the Spectral cards too, hadn't checked those yet

yeah okay they also error

[normal crest]

cryptid should work, looking at the code

[graceful magnet]

it does!

only copies one I think?

[normal crest]

well that one is on your code

[graceful magnet]

yeah only copies one of the copies

[normal crest]

anyway you're dealing with localthunk's code here

and it seems like there isn't a consistent way for you to get the playing cards added in every situation

[graceful magnet]

figures, what'd be the thing to do for fixing that? my mind goes to like a for loop if that's even a thing you can do in lua

[normal crest]

yes you'd loop through context.cards

certificate, marble joker and DNA are the ones that don't seem to send what cards they added to the context

[rugged star]

how does riff-raff generate common jokers only? i see it has the key 'rif' when generating but i don't see how that accomplishes anything

[normal crest]

it passes a rarity to create_card

0 in this case

[crisp coral]

with SMODS.create_card you can pass a string instead of a rarity in case custom rarities mess with it

[normal crest]

yes you can do something like SMODS.add_card { set = 'Joker', rarity = 'Common' }

[graceful magnet]

incredibly inconvenient!

[graceful magnet]

            if context.playing_card_added and context.cards then
            for i = 1, #context.cards, 1
            do
                        G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                        local _card = copy_card(context.cards[1], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
                return {
                    message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                }, true
            end
        end
    end```
Still only added 1 but I'm 90% I probably just wrote it wrong

[normal crest]

also familiar, grim and incantation which I missed

[graceful magnet]

yeah

oop wait

lmao I see my blunder

[stray wing]

I found the Antimatter deck here #💻・modding-dev message does the effect I want, turns out it was quite easy

[graceful magnet]

needs to be context.cards[i] oops

[stray wing]

thanks for your help Victin, much appreciated 🙂

[graceful magnet]

okay well that didn't work

[normal crest]

Wdym it didn't work

Looks fine, you can skip the , 1 after the loop, pretty sure the default is 1

[graceful magnet]

still only copied once instead of each time

yeah, two Cryptid usages, 2 Hearts in deck instead of the desired 4

[rugged star]

is there a function like find_card but it returns every joker corresponding to that key instead of just ones that are currently owned?

[normal crest]

the code looks fine to me, did you make sure to save and restart game

[normal crest]

like jokers in the shop? or in a booster pack?

[rugged star]

every joker currently in the game, i mean

or in the current pool

[normal crest]

you can do get_current_pool('Joker') and that will be a list of all the jokers in the pool currently

[graceful magnet]

yeah just did to see, but nope

[normal crest]

it will have the keys of the joker, so 'j_joker' for example

[normal crest]

maybe it's cus you're missing _card:start_materialize() somewhere

but I wouldn't know for sure

that's the only difference you have from vanilla code

[graceful magnet]

nooope still just makes the one

makes the animation play though

that's nice

[gilded narwhal]

Weeee go play it !!! https://github.com/survovoaneend/Tattered-Decks

(barely functional)

I'll fix the button placement later btw

I know it's shit

[graceful magnet]

and damn, that one it makes doesn't even activate Hologram

might just

have to make this one do something else

it's a crash hazard right now and doesn't even fully function in the places where it works

[normal crest]

if you want it to activate hologam you have to add this playing_cards_created = {true} again to your return

in that list you're supposed to pass the list of cards your joker created

so you should store them in a list as you create them and then pass that to the return

[normal crest]

yeah... you will either need to make patches to modify the game code, or add a check of the kind if type(context.cards[i]) == "table" then

but then it'll just ignore the cards from the types that currently crash the game

[graceful magnet]

            if context.playing_card_added and context.cards then
            for i = 1, #context.cards
            do
                if type(context.cards[i]) == "table" then
                            G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                            local _card = copy_card(context.cards[i], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            _card:start_materialize()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                        colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                        playing_cards_created = {_card}
                    }, true
                end
            end
        end
    end```

In trying to implement that, definitely did it wrong, it instantly fully closed the game

[normal crest]

your return statement should be outside the for loop and after it

[graceful magnet]

oop nope

[normal crest]

or else you will always return in the first iteration of the loop

[graceful magnet]

just changing {_card} to {true} fixed the crash, yeah definitely not a smart move, running on low though

[normal crest]

what was the crash

[graceful magnet]

no crash message, just game closure

[normal crest]

also you can remove the , true that was just to test

[graceful magnet]

moving the return to outside of the for loop also does that apparently

[normal crest]

can you resend what your current code looks like

[graceful magnet]

            if context.playing_card_added and context.cards then
            for i = 1, #context.cards
            do
                if type(context.cards[i]) == "table" then
                            G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                            local _card = copy_card(context.cards[i], nil, nil, G.playing_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)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            _card:start_materialize()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    
                end
            end
            return {
                message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                playing_cards_created = {true}
            }
        end
    end```

[normal crest]

i assume that doesn't crash

[graceful magnet]

it does when a pack card is added

about to test other methods

Cryptid yes

and DNA yeah

everything causes total game closure

moving the return back into the for loop eliminates the crashes

[normal crest]

I fail to see why that'd be happening, especially with no crash logs

[graceful magnet]

I suspect like an infinite for loop is happening or something

[normal crest]

ah yes, you're right, your joker is recursively triggering itself on every card added

what is the specific effect of your joker

the description

[graceful magnet]

"Creates an additional copy of each card added to your hand or deck"

[normal crest]

you'll just have to find a way to prevent it from copying the cards it is adding

[woeful tundra]

save a list of the cards you need to copy, then copy the ones in that list, so it doesnt keep adding the newly made ones to the list

[normal crest]

maybe mark the cards with some flag that you can look for before trying to copy

[dapper sun]

what is the text colour used by dna?

[fallen pelican]

C:attention

[dapper sun]

ty

[graceful magnet]

maybe I'll come back to it eventually but I don't got it in me right now

it does also work with Magic Trick so that's something at least

[smoky talon]

how do i make a joker play a song? kinda like jimball. Im trying to look at the cryptid code but its a mess

i found and adapted the part to declare where the song is in files but dont know how to call it

SMODS.Sound({
key = "music_ksi",
path = "music_ksi.ogg",
sync = false,
pitch = 1,
select_music_track = function()
return next(find_joker("j_gcbm_ksi"))
end,
})

this could very well be wrong, just my best guess

also dont ask why im making a ksi joker

[marble flint]

well if you're going to draw attention to it, why are you making a ksi joker 👀

[gaunt thistle]

it should be called based on what you return from select_music_track

[smoky talon]

my friend made the art for it and now i feel obligated lmao

[gaunt thistle]

smods wires is all up for you in the background

https://tenor.com/view/cat-oriental-shorthair-scared-cat-scared-what-the-dog-doin-gif-23135676

[smoky talon]

dont quite understand what you mean

ok i got it to work, just need to know how to make it loop

better idea

im just gonna loop the song for 10 hours lmao

[nova finch]

I'm trying to make a joker that triggers when the played hand is played for the first time in hte round. Can anyone help? I have no idea what I'm doing at all lmao
i'm copying from card sharp rn and it just does nothing witht his code

[woeful tundra]

I think your calculate function needs to be calculate = function(self, card, context)

[dapper sun]

how do i make a joker do something after the hand is finished playing?

[nova finch]

that's just context.joker_main i think

[void pecan]

How can I change a color of text in a description of a consumable?

[nova finch]

i fixed that, didn't do anything tho

[dapper sun]

that's normal calculation. i said after the hand has played

[stray warren]

context.after

[nova finch]

oh my bad i didn't understand

[dapper sun]

ty

[dapper sun]

does if context.after and context.first_hand_drawn then work?

[last badger]

hey howdy!! brand new to modding in general and lua. trying to write a joker that scales its mult based on how many copies of itself you have. how can i make that happen?

taking a peek at the source code is not revealing much. I'm seeing a (find-joker('jokerName')) type deal but not 100% sure what to do with that

please @ me, i'm in a lot of servers and i don't mind :)

[nova finch]

is there anyone that can help?

[void pecan]

I would first suggest reading the docs if you haven't, it helps a lot. And if you still don't know then please don't as me as I am also very new to lua and modding

[dapper sun]

how do i check how many cards are being played?

[stray warren]

#G.play.cards

[dapper sun]

ty

how do i destroy a card?

[woven vortex]

I'm wanting to get into making modded cards, is there somewhere that the lua code for the base game jokers is that I can look at

[stray warren]

I don't remember off the top of my head, but you can look at the code for the hanged man or madness, for example

[dapper sun]

where do i find the code for the vanilla cards?

[woeful tundra]

an easy way is to do card:start_dissolve()

[stray warren]

If you extract the Balatro.exe, you can find the entire source code

[woeful tundra]

but that wont count for card destroyed effects i thinnk

[stray warren]

Yeah, there's more to it than just that for full compatibility

[dapper sun]

i've done that but i can't figure out which file has the joker effects

[stray warren]

all of that stuff is under card.lua

and most function calls that aren't in that file will be under misc_functions or related files

common_events.lua for example

[dapper sun]

ok

[dapper sun]

i'm looking but it isn't helping me understand,, , i'm trying to destroy a card in the played hand

[void pecan]

does anyone know how to stop Gimp from doing this? I want it to just be a hard pixel line, no gradient or anything

[stray warren]

Use the pencil tool, not the paintbrush

[crisp coral]

step 1: stop using gimp for pixel art

[dapper sun]

if you want something free, try libresprite

[nova finch]

i'm trying to make a card that gains sell value like egg but it does this rn 😭 can anyone help me?

[woeful tundra]

calling it in the wrong context

[last badger]

This looks like an anti-aliasing issue. Check and see if GIMP has an option for that. AFAIK you don't need to change environments for this.

If you'd like to, Krita is another great FOSS option.

[nova finch]

what context do i use then?

[stray warren]

It's because the paintbrush doesn't work with a single pixel. The pencil tool is the tool for the job there

[woeful tundra]

if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then

[last badger]

I don't work with GIMP; my bad.

[stray warren]

Remove context.individual

[nova finch]

i had context.individual removed before and it didn't work

[nova finch]

this worked. thank you!

[woeful tundra]

nice! no problem! if you ever need somewhere to look to find the right contexts: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

[stray warren]

The SMODS wiki docs should probably be pinned in this channel lol

It's mentioned about 80 times a day

[woeful tundra]

yeah, lol

[dapper sun]

_ _

[paper zealot]

People who don't look for wikis also don't look at pins

[nova finch]

is there anyone that can help? it's still not doing anything

[red flower]

I just made something like that for my mod, this destroys every scored card

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
    for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if playing_card == context.destroy_card then
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end
end

[dapper sun]

how do i make it only destroy 1 card?

[red flower]

You want to check if context.destroy_card is the card you want to destroy

[novel drum]

hey, does anyone know if it's possible to activate a joker only when another joker activates?

[woeful tundra]

if context.other_joker then
{
    full_hand = G.play.cards,
    scoring_hand = scoring_hand,
    scoring_name = text,
    poker_hands = poker_hands,
    other_joker = card, --changes to other_consumeable as it iterates over consumeables
}```

check to make sure context.other_joker is the specific joker you are looking to trigger off of, then put anything it needs to do as normal

[dapper sun]

what's a better way to test my joker than repeatedly starting runs and hoping to get it from the first store?

[gaunt thistle]

DebugPlus is the way to go

[novel drum]

there's a debug plugin that lets you spawn jokers

[gaunt thistle]

(https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664)

that'll give you save states as well

[woeful tundra]

I just made a deck, and then have it add the joker to my deck

[stray warren]

and item remover to remove items from the pool

[novel drum]

so this does trigger whenever another joker is checked, but is there a way to detect whether that joker actually triggered? like checking if it added chips/mult/money or if it rerolled

[woeful tundra]

that gets a bit tricky, but you could try to take ownership of the joker, then give them a new ability variable that only gets set to true when it triggered, then have your new joker check that old jokers variable to see if its true, then set the other jokers triggered variable back to false

I have not done this before, but that would be my approach, and is prob not the best way either

so something like card.ability.extra.triggered

then have the new joker you make check card.ability.extra.triggered in the context i mentioned and only trigger that new joker if its true

[runic pecan]

How do I check if a joker is a food joker other than adding valid food jokers to a list one-by-one?

[stray warren]

That's the neat part - you don't

[woeful tundra]

could take ownership of the existing ones and give them a variabvle like i mentioned above, but that wont work the best for other mods that may add food jokers

[void pecan]

how can I make that text grey?

[stray warren]

C:inactive

[dapper sun]

what am i doing wrong?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.destroy_card and context.first_hand_drawn and not context.blueprint and #G.play.cards == 1 then
        card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod
        return { true }
    end
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
        }
    end
end```

[void pecan]

I feel very dumb...
But where would I put that?

text = { '50% chance to turn every joker polychrome',  '50% chance every joker is destroyed', (this text ->)'(Not affected by dice)'}

[south folio]

Hey guys, I don't know why but when I put context.full_hand:is_face() it keeps crashing if context.before and #context.full_hand == 1 and context.full_hand:is_face() then

[scarlet spire]

{C:inactive}your text here{}

[stray warren]

text = { '50% chance to turn every joker polychrome', '50% chance every joker is destroyed', (this text ->)'{C:inactive}(Not affected by dice)'}

You don't technically have to close it there, but it's best practice

[scarlet spire]

true

hmm, how do I get all cards from the booster under context.open_booster?

[red flower]

full_hand is not a card even if the length is 1

[void pecan]

do you know where in the docs this is for future reference?

[stray warren]

if context.before and #context.full_hand == 1 and context.full_hand[1]:is_face() then

[south folio]

scoring_card then?

[stray warren]

you would do context.full_hand[1]:is_face()

[red flower]

^

[south folio]

Ohhhhh ok

if context.before and context.full_hand[1]:is_face() then like this?

[stray warren]

It's in misc_functions.lua. search for G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS and there's a whole list there

It's not in the docs, but the balatro source code

(I guess it could be in the docs. I haven't checked)

[keen coral]

does there exist a video on how someone created a balatro mod? i tend to work realy well with videos where i can see how ppl navigate the directories of the game (i get so lot all the time in directories LMFAO), so i'd love to watch

[paper zealot]

Any UI geniuses know what's preventing juice_up on my UIBox?

function SystemClock.update_config_panel()
    local panelContents = G.OVERLAY_MENU:get_UIE_by_ID('sysclock_config_panel')
    if not panelContents then return end

    panelContents.config.object:remove()
    panelContents.config.object = UIBox{
        config = {offset = {x = 0, y = 0}, parent = panelContents, juice = true},
        definition = SystemClock.config_panel()
      }
    panelContents.UIBox:recalculate()

    panelContents.UIBox:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)                    --does nothing
    panelContents.config.object:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)            --does nothing
    Moveable.juice_up(panelContents.config.object, 0.5, 0.5)  --does nothing
end

function SystemClock.config_panel()
    return {
        n = G.UIT.ROOT,
        config = { align = 'cm', minw = 11, r = 0.1, emboss = 0.1, colour = G.C.GREY },
        nodes = {
  ---Contains a bunch of child nodes, option_cycles and sliders
        }
    }
end

[stray warren]

That should be good, but if you intended the hand to only contain a single card then you should keep that other check in there as well

[south folio]

Ahh I see. Thanks! Also uhhh how do I trigger something twice?

[void pecan]

after looking I am still kinda confused.

text = { '{G.C.GOLD}50% {G.C.DARK_EDITION} test' }

That doesn't work, how would I do something like that?

just C doesnt work either

[stray warren]

You use the variable on the left. so C:x where x is the variable on the left of the color you want to use

[woeful tundra]

in text its dfiferent its gonna be C:color

so for you C:gold

[void pecan]

ah, thx

[nova finch]

been messing around with it for a while, still not working

[woeful tundra]

try a couple print statements, what does context.scoring_name show?

[red flower]

there's a bit of info on this on the smods examples https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[nova finch]

wait, where do print statements show up?

[woeful tundra]

in the console that should open with the modded client

should have the game and a console window when it opens

[nova finch]

nothing is printed

[woeful tundra]

can you post the code for the entire joker?

[woeful tundra]

puit the print statement before that if statement

it seems like the second if statement isnt p[passing the check

[scarlet spire]

anyone have thoughts on this

I can't seem to figure out how to actually get the cards generated by a booster pack

[nova finch]

still isnt. printing anything

[red flower]

G.pack_cards.cards? maybe

[woeful tundra]

does it make empty lines in the conole? or just nothing happens in the console

[west wing]

Why is my json file broken? What am I doing wrong? what is happening? where am I? I am in the swirly void

[nova finch]

nothing happens

[west wing]

Also I changed main file from main.lua to blank, and nothing changed. It's literally just not recognizing the file.

[scarlet spire]

gives this

[west wing]

Wait.

Wait, lemme try something

[scarlet spire]

though, let me take a look, I might be doing it wrong

[red flower]

That's not how you write dependencies I'm pretty sure. The part above that in the wiki shows how

[west wing]

WHO CHANGED THE DEPENDECY METADATA WHEN I WASN'T LOOKING

uuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhh

that's how it USED To be written me and my friend have been BASHING our heads against the wall for 48 HOURS WONDERING "why does the thing not thing" why is it because the dependency format changed. dammit

sorry, i am angry

[plush cove]

doofenshmirtz used his Dependency Metadata Change-inator

[west wing]

CURSE YOU DOOFENSHMIRTZZZZZZZZZ

genuinely so miffed

ughhhh

[red flower]

I think context.individual never has context.cardarea == G.jokers, do you want it to trigger on every playing card?

[timid parrot]

Seriously tho, what was wrong with the old dependency metadata?

[nova finch]

i want it to work like card sharp but the other way around

[woeful tundra]

so you dont need individual

[red flower]

I think it should be on context.joker_main

[nova finch]

that worked lol

thank you

[south folio]

                G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                local _card = copy_card(context.full_hand[1], nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                _card:add_to_deck()
                G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
                G.hand:emplace(_card)
                _card.states.visible = nil

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        _card:start_materialize()
                        return true
                    end
                }))

                return {
                    message = localize('k_copied_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                    playing_cards_created = {true},
                }
        end
    end```

How....do I make this copy the card twice?

[woeful tundra]

just do the copy section 2 times 😛

                _card:add_to_deck()
                G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
                G.hand:emplace(_card)
                _card.states.visible = nil```

[south folio]

thaat works?

[void pecan]

anyone know where in the source code the way the wheel works is shown?
I'm making something similar to it but want to get a reference.

[woeful tundra]

it should

[paper zealot]

For anyone keeping score at home, the issue with juice_up on UIBox was the object role type.
UI child elements use role_type = 'Minor' which causes them to inherit the motion of the Major, so they won't be juiced.
The solution is to replace the role_type with Major like so:

panelContents.config.object:set_role{
  role_type = 'Major',
  major = nil
}

[woeful tundra]

could make it look nicer and do a loop, but honestly dont need to if you only wanna do it 2 times

[scarlet spire]

is there a context for choosing a card from a booster pack? I want to have a joker do something specifically when you do that

actually I can probably just check for context.playing_card_added or context.using_consumeable and context.open_booster

[south folio]

Ok this kinda works? but it just kinda leaves this hole in the middle that's supposed to be the copied card?

it shows up in the full deck, but you can't see it or pick it up

[woeful tundra]

copuld be, try removing: _card.states.visible = nil

[void pecan]

can anyone at least help me with the turning jokers poly

[south folio]

it works! enough!

[scarlet spire]

okay no this isn't correct

[woeful tundra]

these contexts likely dont overlap

[scarlet spire]

yeah, I figured

[woeful tundra]

does it count as buying a card when you pick it from a booster pack

[scarlet spire]

I have no clue

[woeful tundra]

these are the only ones related to boosters/shop

[red flower]

card:set_edition({polychrome= true}) i think

[scarlet spire]

basically what I'm trying to do is give the player a negative copy of any card they take from a booster pack

[red flower]

I had to lovely patch into G.FUNCS.use_card to do something when picking from boosters

maybe you can add your own context there

[scarlet spire]

welp

guess i'm finally learning how to lovely patch

[void pecan]

function tarotCard:use(self, card, area, copier)
    for _, c in ipairs(player.inventory) do
        if c.key == 'joker' then
            c:remove_from_deck(self, card, from_debuff)
        end
    end
end

this is just a test, but I am SO confused on the layout of things.
The docs tell me what to use but I don't know how to use them

[scarlet spire]

what file is use_card in again?

[red flower]

button_callbacks

try this

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = "functions/button_callbacks.lua"
pattern = '''elseif card.ability.set == 'Joker' then'''
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
SMODS.calculate_context({picking_from_booster = true, card = card})
'''

[scarlet spire]

oh, thanks!

[frozen iron]

greetings fellow balatro enthusiasts, can anyone tell me why it insists I should close my brace here when uh... no I don't think I should?
thanks
(I know this code shouldn't particularly do anything currently other than essentially add a dummy gold stake, I'm just trying to get it to load in the first place before I start tinkering with actually having it do things.)

[red flower]

i think you're missing a couple commas

[void pecan]

how do I check if the player has any jokers?

[frozen iron]

double checked, you're totally right, completely missed at least one at the color line, thanks

[scarlet spire]

it's always the missing commas

I miss so many commas

[void pecan]

for my tarot card "can_use"

[plush cove]

check what the code for Stencil is like

[scarlet spire]

...hmm

this might just be an issue with my smods.add_card syntax because I've never used the function before

[plush cove]

@void pecan actually no dont do this

look into the code for Hex

[void pecan]

huh? The spectral card?

[plush cove]

G.jokers.cards is the variable you want

[void pecan]

if so, I have zero idea where to look

[plush cove]

if you mean in terms of joker count

[void pecan]

I just want to make sure they at least have 1 joker

[plush cove]

if #G.jokers.cards != 0 then

or, if you wanna be more secure, then
if #G.jokers.cards > 0 then

[red flower]

I think it's context.card.config.center.key

[scarlet spire]

ah right, that'd be it

[red flower]

had a bunch of these same problems today so I'm glad to reshare the knowledge lol

[void pecan]

Is all of the "G.(whatever" in the docs? I also want to turn all jokers polychrome (50%) or destroy them all (50%), but i'm not sure where to start

[scarlet spire]

.......well, it works!

I should fix this

[plush cove]

G. is part of the actual Balatro code, so you'll need to scan that to figure out how it works

[nova finch]

trying to make a joker that upgrades when an enhanced heart card is scored, would context.check_enhancement work for finding if the card has an enhancement?

[void pecan]

[void pecan]

What about turning a joker polychrome? I know I needcard:set_edition({polychrome= true}), but how do I fetch the jokers to make it polychrome?

[scarlet spire]

okay it's working correctly now, but only for buffoon packs, using consumables or pulling playing cards from a booster doesn't activate this

[red flower]

If you want all jokers do a loop on G.jokers.cards

[red flower]

I think if you change the pattern for elseif card.ability.set == 'Enhanced' or card.ability.set == 'Default' then it should work on playing cards

For consumables I'm not sure but it calls context.using_consumeable. I don't know if it differentiates between using it in a booster or not

this is that part of the code

[scarlet spire]

hmm, just inserting the same picking_from_booster context after the playing card check gives me some scary featureless playing cards in my joker slot

[red flower]

lol

are you using SMODS.add_card?

[scarlet spire]

yeah, is that a bad idea?

should it be create_card

[red flower]

it doesn't work with playing cards I'm pretty sure

[scarlet spire]

ah

[red flower]

so you should do add_cards for jokers and consumables and I think it's create_playing_card (no SMODS) for playing cards

[nova finch]

am I checking for enhancements correctly? it's not doing anything rn

[red flower]

shouldn't card.ability.set also be context.other_card.ability.set?

[nova finch]

i'll try that

[scarlet spire]

so create_playing_card is the only way to create a playing card? I have no idea how this works and it isn't documented anywhere

[void pecan]

for key, c in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
   --how do I destroy the jokers? c:remove_from_deck()?
end

[random sleet]

this is from my Tribute spectral card (destroy all jokers +1 joker slot)

[red flower]

c:start_dissolve()

[scarlet spire]

okay, I have this, but I have no clue how i'd make it copy the card, currently it's just random

[red flower]

maybe copy_card is what you actually want but I have never used either so I have no idea

Death uses copy_card

[scarlet spire]

oh, that works perfectly

[sullen fern]

you’ve just given me a funny as shit idea

scary featureless joker

[scarlet spire]

is this the wrong way to set the card's edition?

[scarlet spire]

Blank Joker
Does nothing?

[sullen fern]

keep it until ante 8 for a suprise

[scarlet spire]

would be really funny if it rarely triggered during scoring to keep you confused on what it does

[sullen fern]

yesssss…

[void pecan]

How do I make the tarot say something when used?

[sullen fern]

like the “nope!” when you fail wheel?

[void pecan]

yeah

[sullen fern]

i’m not really well versed in coding but you could ask someone else

[chrome widget]

So I'm gonna work on this more tomorrow, but I thought I might as well ask if anyone has suggestions:

I'm basically a shader noob, but I've followed some basic tutorials before such as when I was using ShaderGraph in Unity. I want to enable a bloom/glow shader on cards contextually. The only shader related stuff I've managed to do so far is add a patch for Card:draw() to use the negative shader for something else when I set a property on a card, but I seem to constantly be running into issues trying to get a new, fresh shader to actually render on something with SMODS

The example I found for SMODS is for editions. Am I able to just set a "shader" property on jokers and have it draw that shader the same way, or are editions special in that regard?

[scarlet spire]

this is how i've been drawing shaders on non-editions

[scarlet spire]

for custom shaders, you should define a shader and give it a key, like so:
SMODS.Shader({ key = 'silver_seal', path = 'silver_seal.fs' })

when referring to the key it should have your mod prefix

[chrome widget]

Okay yeah I did the defining it but, guh, I forgot to use the prefix

And when defining that draw function, is that just in the joker definition?

[scarlet spire]

yep

[chrome widget]

Oh, neat. I didn't know it was that easy, though obv I was handicapping myself accidentally

I attempted something similar before but kept getting nil for draw_shader, but I don't think I was calling it from children.center

[scarlet spire]

I havent tried it on jokers yet but it should work exactly the same since it's just a base function

[void pecan]

how do I make my tarot say something like wheel of fortune
Anyone know

[chrome widget]

Okay this is a decent start, I'll see if I can try this again tomorrow. Thank you!!

[chrome widget]

Hold on lemme check

So the code for this in the vanilla game is basically this:

    trigger = 'after', 
    delay = 0.4, 
    func = function()
    attention_text({
        text = localize([put localization string here]),
        scale = 1.3, 
        hold = 1.4,
        major = card,
        backdrop_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Tarot,
        align = (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK) and 'tm' or 'cm',
        offset = {x = 0, y = (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK) and -0.2 or 0},
        silent = true
        })
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.06 * G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED,
        blockable = false,
        blocking = false, 
        func = function()
            play_sound('tarot2', 0.76, 0.4);
        return true end}))
    play_sound('tarot2', 1, 0.4)
    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
return true end }))```

Basically it just uses the attention_text() function with a bunch of values, with align and offset differing based on whether or not it's being used from the pack or directly from its current position, and then it nests another function for the sound in it for some reason

So

• attention_text() with your localization string
• play_sound('tarot2')
• card:juice_up()

[void pecan]

tf does juice_up() do?

[chrome widget]

It's what causes cards to shake when you do things with them

[void pecan]

ah

[plush cove]

i.e. when Invisible Joker is ready to sell, or when DNA is ready to copy

or Trading Card is ready to destroy

[void pecan]

so I would do

function tarotCard:use(card)
    chance = math.random(1,2)
    if chance == 1 then
        for key, c in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            c:set_edition({polychrome = true})
        end
    else
        for key, c in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            attention_text(text = localize([not sure what you mean here, like any string?]), scale = 1.3
            c:start_dissolve()
        end
    end
end

I forgot the juice up

[plush cove]

the key for your text in your localization file (usually localization/en-us.lua)

[scarlet spire]

localize([ ]) is for is you have stuff in localization files

to just use a string replace all of that with ''

[chrome widget]

So like I'm not developing in multiple languages or anything, but yeah I have all my stuff stored in en-us.lua, and most of the card effect strings are k_[something]

[scarlet spire]

(text = 'text here')

[chrome widget]

I.E. k_nope_ex is WoF's

[gaunt thistle]

test to make sure that you can replace that with a normal pattern patch. regex patches are slower and have more footguns.

it looks like a normal pattern patch will do just fine

[scarlet spire]

I did notice that, but was afraid to touch it

will check

just replace regex with pattern?

[gaunt thistle]

ya

[patch.pattern]

that patch has pattern fields anyways, it shouldn't be a regex

[scarlet spire]

I am actually having one more issue with it that I'm unsure how to fix

the patch works perfectly for jokers and playing cards, when injecting that line here and here

doing this successfully adds contexts for getting jokers and playing cards from booster packs

[void pecan]

what did i do

[scarlet spire]

but doing the same for consumables (under if card.ability.consumeable then) causes it to trigger when any consumable is used while you're in a booster pack menu (and it seems to do it twice??) even if the consumable is in a consumable slot

[chrome widget]

attention_text takes a table as its parameter, not individual parameters

Add braces around the two values you passed in

[void pecan]

attention_text({text = "hello", scale = 1.3, hold = 1.4}) like that?

[chrome widget]

Yeah

[void pecan]

same error

[frosty dock]

try running it. I think your editor is just drunk

[void pecan]

It was 😭

THE SECOND I saved it went away

[scarlet spire]

I am way in over my head trying to figure this out

I'm not entirely sure why the consumables act differently but I guess it's just because they're consumable

[chrome widget]

Lo and behold, it is doing... something

It's drawing it a second time for the shader effect at the very least, which is progress

Thank you Wheat!

the only other shader related thing I've managed was screwing around with using the default dissolve shader to make this, but actually applying a unique shader rather than leveraging existing ones is much harder

Work for tomorrow

[scarlet spire]

ooh that's neat

[void pecan]

how can I give myself my tarot card? Is it possible? Using DebugPlus

[scarlet spire]

go into the collection and press 3 while hovering over it

[sullen fern]

thats cool actually

[scarlet spire]

actually I think you might need to enable the base game's debug menu (which debugplus also has a bunch of additions to) in order for those binds to work?

[void pecan]

function tarotCard:use(card)
    chance = math.random(1,2)
    if chance == 1 then
        for key, c in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            attention_text({text = "Accepted", scale = 1.3, hold = 1.4})
            play_sound('tarot2')
            c:juice_up()
            c:set_edition({polychrome = true})
        end
    else
        for key, c in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            attention_text({text = "Rejected", scale = 1.3, hold = 1.4})
            play_sound('tarot2')
            c:juice_up()
            c:start_dissolve()
        end
    end
end

My tarot card doesn't say anything, but no errors.
It kind just skips all of that somehow and immediately either destroys or turns all cards poly

[scarlet spire]

does anything point to this function?

[chrome widget]

It works well for what it is! Now I'm just trying to get a simple bloom shader up and running so I can make some jokers glow because somebody requested it. I hate shaders I hate shaders I hate shaders

[void pecan]

wdym?

[scarlet spire]

the way to calculate stuff when using a tarot card is

        (code here)

[void pecan]

Well it works, it just my tarot card doesn't "say anything", like wheel of fortune

attention_text({text = "Rejected", scale = 1.3, hold = 1.4})
play_sound('tarot2')
c:juice_up()
c:start_dissolve() - just does this, skips above

[scarlet spire]

so it sets polychrome sometimes?

[void pecan]

yeah, everything BUT the card speaking works

it will still be a 50/50 of destroy and poly, card just doesn't speak

[scarlet spire]

I would still try restructuring it as ```lua
SMODS.Consumable {
---everything else here---
use = function(self, card, area, copier)
chance = math.random(1,2)
if chance == 1 then
for key, c in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
attention_text({text = "Accepted", scale = 1.3, hold = 1.4})
play_sound('tarot2')
c:juice_up()
c:set_edition({polychrome = true})
end
else
for key, c in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
attention_text({text = "Rejected", scale = 1.3, hold = 1.4})
play_sound('tarot2')
c:juice_up()
c:start_dissolve()
end
end
end
}

[violet void]

havent used attention_text yet but seeing wheel's code you could be missing 'major'?

[void pecan]

I hate optimal code

[void pecan]

probably

[scarlet spire]

that could be it too

your play sound and juice up functions are missing parameters too, I think that just means they'll be nil, unsure if that's a big deal or not

[void pecan]

wrefgougf3w4eiroyugbw3ree4gewGQ

nvm forgot end and comma

perfect

Very first tarot done, it was simple but very good for learning

[normal crest]

Should use pseudorandom instead of math.random

can_use can be simplified to return #G.jokers.cards > 0

[scarlet spire]

I'm actually getting quite confused by this code (which is for pulling cards from booster packs)

the latter two elseifs I understand

well, actually, hm

what I'm trying to do is patch this so that it has a context specifically for using one from a booster pack

but it seems there's no distinction logically from using one that came from a booster pack and just using a consumable you already had in your consumable slot, while in the booster pack interface

[normal crest]

you might be able to check if card.added_to_deck

[scarlet spire]

that's true, I can't think of any circumstances where a consumable activating without being in your deck isn't from a booster pack

[normal crest]

you can also check card.area ~= G.consumeables

i haven't tried it tho

hope it works

good luck

[scarlet spire]

hmm

I tried it as just card.area too and it did the same thing

would it be card.config.area? maybe?

nope

[wintry solar]

context.consumeable.area iirc

[scarlet spire]

oh huh, I see

[wintry solar]

I’d check if it was equal to G.pack_cards otherwise shop uses would trigger too

[normal crest]

yeah it's passed as context.consumeable

[scarlet spire]

ah that's true too, good catch

[normal crest]

Right here

[void pecan]

What’s the difference

[plush cove]

pseudorandom is what's used for actual randomization in vanilla balatro

and it plays better with seeded runs

[scarlet spire]

this... should work, right?

but consumables just act normally and never trigger this

[normal crest]

pseudorandom actually makes seeds have an effect

If you don't, then you can just reset the game forever until you get the desired outcome

And seeded runs will not work with it

[crystal perch]

quick question anyone know the colour tag of whatever ecto uses for the negative text?

[normal crest]

dark_edition

[crystal perch]

thank you that worked

[scarlet spire]

this is getting really confusing?

oops, bad crop

if I go back to the old thing of just checking if it isnt in the consumables slot

it suddenly works, but now always triggers, even when in the consumable slot

which makes absolutely no sense

[normal crest]

Maybe they get removed from their area before being used, which would make this more difficult

[scarlet spire]

checking if it's in g.pack_cards causes it to never occur even if it's in a pack, and checking if it's not in the g.consumeables causes it to always occur even if in the consumables slot

so... it's going somewhere else regardless of where it came from

just what I needed

[normal crest]

do you have debug plus

[scarlet spire]

yep

[normal crest]

Try print(blahblah.area) right after the context check

[scarlet spire]

just prints an empty line

so... it just removes it from anything?

great

[normal crest]

I guess, you'd have to look at the use consumeable function to see exactly what it's doing

[wintry solar]

It might be in G.play

[scarlet spire]

ah yeah literally right before the calculate

[normal crest]

Bruh

[wintry solar]

Oh that’s a pain

[scarlet spire]

I wonder what would happen if I literally just patched this line out

lets try!

[normal crest]

I don't know if removing the line is a good solution

[wintry solar]

Just patch a last area value before it

[scarlet spire]

probably not but i'm curious what'll happen so I can't not try

wait smods actually patches this line with something else already

[normal crest]

You should look at Mods/lovely/dump

For the code after all lovely patched were applied

[worthy anchor]

given a standard playing card what's the best way to get it's rank, suit, enhancement, ability, and seal?

and worse: not just get the in game values, but the actual words used for them, like "spades" and "steel" and "red seal"

[scarlet spire]

ah I didn't know about that, thanks

[crystal perch]

you can parse the words from the localisation files

i thinks

[normal crest]

For rank and suit make sure to use SMODS.has_no_suit and SMODS.has_no_rank to ensure u don't accidentally try to get suit or rank from a card that doesn't have it

And you can get the text form of them by doing card.base.value for rank and card.base.suit

If you're going to display that text I strongly recommend localizing it by paasing it to localize with "ranks" or "suits_plural" (or singular) as the 2nd argument

[plush cove]

heya! so I've coded this blind called "The Journey" and it's meant to function so that each consecutive hand must not have a lower base score than the last one

however, I've discovered that if one was to: play a hand, close the game, then re-open it and load back into the save, their hands were no longer debuffed, essentially ruining the entire point of the blind

is there a fix for this so that the score requirement carries through even after the game is closed?

[scarlet spire]

this is working, but there's one last, extremely odd issue. here's my patch
origin is the original area value, and i'm passing it through the context for debugging purposes
for some reason, consumables that are bought directly from the shop appear to pass this check, meaning origin == G.pack_cards (somehow??)
but then, once you open any booster pack, consumables from the shop will no longer pass this check, and everything works as intended

[wintry solar]

How are you checking they pass?

[plush cove]

well obviously there is a fix for this, let me rephrase: what would be the best fix for this?

[scarlet spire]

I'm setting origin to card.area before the rest of the code sets it to nothing

then later on, checking if origin == G.pack_cards, and if so, setting the consumable_from_booster context to true

[wintry solar]

I'd just do something like

if card.area == G.pack_cards then card.from_pack = true end```

[scarlet spire]

hmm, true

[wintry solar]

then in your calculate check for

if context.consumeable.from_pack then```

[crystal perch]

[crystal perch]

thanks i'll try this code out, i got the majority of the other code from somewhere else in the server

[scarlet spire]

this works, but it behaves identically, so the issue is still present

[wintry solar]

specifically shop consumables?

[scarlet spire]

yes

for some reason, card.area == G.pack_card for consumables in shop until you use a booster pack

but also that can't be true??

I don't know

[plush cove]

i might just need to make like a lovely patch or something but it would be great if i could avoid doing that for as long as possible

[crystal perch]

thank you this worked btw

you're my goat

[fallen pelican]

is update the only method to live update variables like these in a joker?

[crisp coral]

save your variables in G.GAME.blind.discards_sub and G.GAME.blind.hands_sub instead of the blind's config

without hooking to the save and load functions, these are (two of) the few variable names that get saved

[wintry solar]

this is bizarre I have no idea why this happens

[crisp coral]

i think when you buy it from shop the area is saved as G.shop_jokers, which gets nil'd after the shop ends while G.pack_card is also nil when not opening a pack

[scarlet spire]

so, I should have an or card.area ~= G.shop_jokers in the if statement?

[crisp coral]

card.area will be G.consumeables after being bought/taken from pack

so that doesnt make sense

[wintry solar]

we're looking at being used though

[crisp coral]

o

buy and use?

[wintry solar]

if you use a card from the shop, it has area of pack_card until you've opened a booster

or at least, in the use function it does

[crisp coral]

qhar...

[scarlet spire]

the idea I'm implementing is that if you use a consumable from a booster pack, you get a negative copy of it

[plush cove]

i was overthinking my fix way too much...ty for the quick solution!

[scarlet spire]

this logic works correctly only after you've already opened a booster pack, if you haven't done that yet, card.area == G.pack_cards will be true even if it's in the shop

but, not if it's in the consumables slots, that works fine

only the shop

[wintry solar]

let me check something

[crisp coral]

huhh

[scarlet spire]

here's video of this happening, by the way

[crisp coral]

yeah when used from shop the card's area is nil

wait no

fuck

eval dp.hovered doesnt work because the card cant be hovered

[wintry solar]

o_O

[crisp coral]

awful

[wintry solar]

where the fuck does it go after you use a booster

[plush cove]

also I'm glad you didn't mention this line of code because yes, I have tried changing it to just "return (number bigger)" rather than "if (number bigger) return true else return false", and for some reason, that just doesn't

[scarlet spire]

using a consumable always sets its area to nil, so i'm saving whether or not it was in a booster pack in card.from_pack before it ever sets as nil

[plush cove]

so i'm stuck with it being spaghetti

[wintry solar]

why does it think it's from a booster until you open a booster

[random sleet]

oh damn is that why an oddity was being weird with buy and use earlier

[wintry solar]

how is this possible

[scarlet spire]

????

[violet void]
