@vague pendant

[vague pendant]

ahhh

[normal crest]

I've no idea if it's possible, but maybe you're interested in G.FUNCS.draw_from_deck_to_hand which is in functions/state_events.lua

[vague pendant]

still hitting the 'center is nil' error

[normal crest]

is JTC_clue a consumable

[vague pendant]

yeah

[normal crest]

try removing everything else except key

[vague pendant]

still nada

[normal crest]

can you send the full crash log

[normal crest]

are you using steamodded headers

[vague pendant]

no. those have been depreciated afaik.

[normal crest]

yeah they have been

[vague pendant]

ah, I see what you were asking

[normal crest]

can you send your json metadata

or really just the prefix, make sure it's JTC

with no additional spaces or anything

[frigid flame]

what if you made it increment by 1 so that when it duplicated it ended up being 2 like intended

[manic rune]

you forgot context.repetitions

or smt

[nova finch]

thanks! i actually already fixed it

[chrome prawn]

so now I'm trying to make a joker shake like invisible joker or DNA when they have their ability ready
however the game keeps giving this error even though I'm pretty sure that I have the correct code for it

[ionic verge]

there isnt like a library mod that adds additional contexts/whatnot for modders to use is there?

and if smods counts as that, besides smods

[hardy viper]

anything like that would be integrated into smods

we dont have a good dependency system

[ionic verge]

mhm

well in that case what code would i need to copy from cryptid to add more booster pack slots

[fallen vigil]

how do i substitute a custom enhancement

[normal crest]

you passed self instead of card

[chrome prawn]

wdym

[ionic verge]

ok i wanna know, do you ever actually want to use self?

[ionic verge]

replace self with card in that juice card function

without really knowing the situation i give that a 75% chance of working

likely higher

[ionic verge]

anyone know?

[chrome prawn]

ok it worked thanks

[fallen vigil]

when i put in the ID of my enhancement i get this error

[normal crest]

if you don't know, then nope

i'm pretty sure i used it like one time ever

[normal crest]

what'd you put exactly

[fallen vigil]

the slug/key

in place of m_bonus

[ionic verge]

oh lookie ive actually used it once myself

[normal crest]

you put m_prefix_key where prefix is your mod prefix and key is the key of the enhancement

[ionic verge]

for checking if the indexed joker isnt itself

[fallen vigil]

thank you

[normal crest]

that condition is always true

you should compare to card instead

[ionic verge]

well thats weird

because the joker works as intended

like it wont add its sell value to the variable or anything

so it clearly returns false at some point

[fallen vigil]

now how do i get the amount of remaining hands as a number

[normal crest]

if you have debugplus try putting a print(v ~= self) before that

to my knowledge that comparison should always be true

[ionic verge]

alright lemme test that rq

[normal crest]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_left

[fallen vigil]

thank you is it the same for discards?

[normal crest]

i think so

[ionic verge]

ok yeah youre right

thanks for the bug fix!

[normal crest]

lol no worries

[ionic verge]

yep it works now

[ionic verge]

any idea?

[spark remnant]

what would the context statement for played 7s be? I currently have if context.individual and (context.other_card:get_id() == 7) then but this activates for 7s in hand as well

[manic rune]

oof sorry, im in class rn so i cant respond quickly :(

[normal crest]

check context.cardarea == G.play

[manic rune]

context.card_area = G.play

[spark remnant]

[chrome widget]

Out of curiosity, can you use the GLSL texelFetch function in Love2D shaders, or at least in the version used by Balatro? I can't find very many resources on Love2D's support for certain OpenGL features even though I believe recent updates allow support for OpenGL 3?

This is the definition for it, and since Image (which is what "texture" is here) is Love2D's alias for sampler2D, I should just be able to pass these in? But I get a "no matching overloaded function found"

[chrome widget]

Context is that I want to try implementing a simple bloom shader but I have no fucking clue what I'm doing so the most I can do is try to translate some other shaders written for regular GLSL to figure it out 😔

[crystal perch]

anyone got any idea how i would detect if another joker's ability triggers (except for self)

to create an ability something like this

[icy cobalt]

You could mimic the blueprints behaviour but instead of returning the calculated jokers return you just return 4 mult for each valid return

[void pecan]

Idk what to put as his art

Need ideas

and name ideas

[orchid thunder]

Common????

[void pecan]

I have NOT added much yet

dw its gonna be rare

[orchid thunder]

RNJesus

[void pecan]

goated

[orchid thunder]

And art

[bold tapir]

hmm chat thoughts on these jonkler concepts? i can explain the thought process behind some of these if needed

for a theoretical mod focused around chance

another one that couldnt fit in the screenshot is coin flip - gains either [+chips] or [-chips] after each hand. cannot go below 0

[random sleet]

context.post_trigger

[stiff locust]

the chance based condition one is impossible to fully implement

[quasi comet]

I'm trying to make a joker with a rocket effect but using the code directly from rocket makes it trigger 3 times at the beginning of the boss blind rather than at the end, any idea why?

[stiff locust]

probabilities in balatro are calculated by comparing G.GAME.probabilities.normal to an integer which is the odds, you can't hook that in any way without manually altering every joker using them, which does not support mods doing that

[stiff locust]

show code

[bold tapir]

ah

and i assume the same for consolation prize?

[proven stump]

I think you need to check for the right context as well?

[stiff locust]

yeah you do

change if G.GAME.blind_boss then to

if context.blind_boss and context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then

[quasi comet]

ohh

[stiff locust]

the context.main_eval is a bettercalc exclusive thing, that just makes end of round not trigger 8 times for no reason

[quasi comet]

makes sense

[stiff locust]

also if you want it to return mult which it seems to want to do

[quasi comet]

the mult was actually just a temp thing cause i was trying to figure out the timing

[stiff locust]

oh alright

[stiff locust]

well that oughta do it

[quasi comet]

thank you!

[stiff locust]

yeah

[bold tapir]

ah

[stiff locust]

consolation prize could be tuned to work only on lucky cards and only appear if lucky cards are in the deck

[bold tapir]

maybe i could rework it into like. unlucky cat? and yea like that

[stiff locust]

yeah that'd still require you taking ownership of the lucky enhancement

not a huge issue really

[bold tapir]

hmm

[stiff locust]

taking ownership means to like

re-register a vanilla card as a modded card

you can use that to change the joker's effects, and it adds your mod badge to the card

mods usually do this to fix bugs, like Incantation's patch for Perkeo that makes it not copy entire stacks of consumables

but sometimes it is a functionality thing

[bold tapir]

ah okay

[quasi comet]

hmm i've tried this but for some reason it doesn't trigger the card? the abilities stay the same afterward

[stiff locust]

not sure what the smods.calculate_effect is for?

what is that supposed to do

[quasi comet]

its just to show 'upgrade' when it actually upgrade

pretty much

[stiff locust]

if you want it to send an update message, either use a return message or card_eval_status_text

rocket has this code

return {
                        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                        colour = G.C.MONEY
                    }

change the color to MULT for mult

just throw that in below the mult increase

that will make it work

[quasi comet]

doesnt actually change anything, i haven't changed the code much aside from the context and the calc_effect to the return message

still doesn't upgrade after the end of the boss blind

[plain apex]

on old calc this properly retriggers the scored cards and jokers on new calc it only retriggers the scored cards how do i convert this to newcalc?

if config.oldcalccompat ~= false then
  SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Emily',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Emily',
        text = {
            "Retrigger EVERYTHING {C:attention}#1#{} Times"
        }
    },
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = { x = 4, y = 0 },
    config = {
        extra = {
            repetitions = 1, -- Number of times to retrigger for scoring cards and Jokers
        },
    },
    rarity = 4,
    order = 32,
    cost = 14,
    no_pool_flag = 'clam',
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {
            vars = { "" .. self.config.extra.repetitions }
        }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- Check for retriggering (excluding consumables)
        if (context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= self) or
           context.jokers or (context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play) then

            -- Loop through the configured repetitions
            for i = 1, self.config.extra.repetitions do
                G.GAME.pool_flags.clam = true  -- Ensure 'clam' flag is set

                -- Return a message for each repetition
                return {
                    message = "CLAM!",  -- Custom message
                    colour = G.C.RED,    -- Set the color to red for emphasis
                    repetitions = self.config.extra.repetitions, -- How many times to retrigger
                    card = card,         -- Attach the card context
                }
            end
        end
    end,
}
end

[urban veldt]

New to modding, how doable is a Joker that makes rares and legendaries appear in shops more frequently?

[coral cobalt]

so im working on making a giga mod pack for me and my friends but it involves a lot of extra stuff, i mostly just need to know how i could increase all the shop slots by 1 just so you can get a chance at whats going on

[quasi comet]

Found a way to make it work!

[stiff locust]

why don't we have this yet??? anyway logistically, pretty easy

rarities use a weight value that influences how often they spawn in shop

you'd have to modify that like oops all 6s does probability doubles

increase it on add_to_deck and reduce it on remove_from_deck

I have no idea how you'd actually change the rarity weight

but I'm sure there is a way

[marble flint]

Can I use Lovely to patch another mod (in this case, I'd like to patch Steamodded)? If so, how?

[maiden phoenix]

#1214591552903716954 message

[marble flint]

thank you!

[runic pecan]

How do I define a global variable that can be accessed in every file of my mod?
A little like G but less powerful.

[plush cove]

What I do is I have dependency files, and then I load them before I load anything else

Inside the dependency files, I have functions formatted like this that can be accessed from any file after they're loaded

I know from experience: do not do this if you want your functions accessible globally

for some reason function [name]() doesn't load globally, whereas name = function() usually does

[marble flint]

I just define an object called Bakery_API in the global scope and shove stuff in that (Bakery is my mod id)

[plush cove]

I like segmenting my files in a way so that my core.lua file is teeny tiny :)

[marble flint]

same :)

although my file-loading model is a bit different

[plush cove]

i wonder if its more efficient than the way i do it or if its just a stylistic choice

[marble flint]

it's only going to be what, 1 millisecond different once on startup? it doesn't matter much

[maiden phoenix]

Funny, I'm working on baked consumables

Bread era balatro modding

[marble flint]

🥯

[edgy reef]

Uhh pretty sure if that was true there would be issues with loads of mods.

Unless something else is amiss

[stiff locust]

how do i water bread

[plush cove]

what I meant to say is that the former does work, but every time I have to reload the function file along with the file that's using the functions

that's not an issue with name = function()

[maiden phoenix]

😭

[bitter gazelle]

why is findModByID suddenly returning nil? i swear it was working earlier

okay i literally just fixed that and now SMODS.Sprite isnt working either??? dude it was working yesterday why doesnt it work now

[frosty dock]

why are you using Steamodded 0.9.8 APIs

[bitter gazelle]

wait what

oh yeah good point

nvm

[stiff locust]

ancient writing

[frosty dock]

tru dat

[south folio]

how do I add hand size like juggler does?

[wintry solar]

context.blind_boss isn’t a thing, you need to check G.GAME.blind.boss

[quasi comet]

its ok, ive already solved the issue

its what i was originally using also but it wasnt working either; i found another work around that works

[wintry solar]

What is this workaround

[quasi comet]

g.game.last_blind.boss worked for what i needed

well. G.GAME.last_blind.boss

[crisp coral]

last_blind is a vanilla variable?

[quasi comet]

its used in tags typically

iirc

[south folio]

nvm I got it

Followup question, how do I check for enhancements in the Full Deck?

[runic pecan]

Is it calc_dollar_bonus or calculate_dollar_bonus?

[maiden phoenix]

calc one

[hot cove]

I wanna try and get into making custom jokers, do we have any guides on that?

[plush cove]

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

[vocal verge]

The Steamodded wiki has examples

[maiden phoenix]

Also check https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod

[hot cove]

Much appreciated thank u will look at everything

[hushed field]

Might try and do better backgrounds for them at some point, but finished the art for the custom tarot cards 😄

[spring lantern]

not on my pc rn but would still appreciate some help with this issue i had yesterday - joker's basically good to go after balancing except for this one issue :(

[violet void]

try adding

Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.xmult,

to the return

[wintry solar]

your logic is wrong, add some line breaks in a hpefully you wil lsee

[bitter gazelle]

how do i half base chips and mult?

[tepid crow]

could take a look at what the flint does?

[bitter gazelle]

how

[tepid crow]

do you know how to look at the balatro source code?

[bitter gazelle]

yeah but like how do i put this into a deck

sorry if im confusing you

[tepid crow]

if you're lucky you can use the deck's calculate function to do the same thing as the flint

[dire palm]

I'm trying to do something but I need to know... How does copy_card work exactly?

[hushed field]

probably easier to help you navigate that if you're a bit more specific! What part are you wondering about?

[dire palm]

Let's say I selected a card v in a loop and want to copy that specific card to deck.

[hushed field]

i haven't messed around with copy card too much yet, but as far as I understand it right, it works something like this:
Let's say you played a hand with Hearts 2, Spades 10.

your joker iterates through your hand and copies every 10.

you use ipairs, then get_rank(10), and then just pass the card object to copy_card()

local _copy_of_desired_card = copy_card(v, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
_copy_of_desired_card :add_to_deck()
G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
table.insert(G.playing_cards, _copy_of_desired_card)```

There's probably easier ways, I'm sure, but I think that should copy the chosen card and add it to the deck. If you want it to be drawn, I think G.hand:emplace(_copy_of_desired_card) should be added? But I'm not sure, I haven't messed around with that much yet.

[dire palm]

Alright. That's basically what I assumed but I wanted confirmation.
I'll try and see if this works.

Thanks for the help.

[hushed field]

It might very well be wrong, haha, I'm not super proficient with the codebase yet. But a great way to learn is to just mess around with it and see what changes.

[violet void]

the kind thief

I guess I should destroy the joker otherwise you can spam the same hand (but what are the chances of this happening)

[merry raven]

Ohh shit that's super neat

How did you make the cards go up

[crystal perch]

trying to make this joker ability work and i've tried a bunch of methods and so far none have worked (either crashed the game or did nothing)
i'm new to balatro modding so some help would be greatly appreciated

here is my latest attempt

i know there's probably some really obvious thing i'm missing and i've been reading the docs but i just don't rly know how to format all of this

[hushed field]

Looking at the source code for Baseball, context.other_joker is used, that should probably help!

[dire palm]

How do I return a message without exiting my loop?

[surreal kernel]

Hello! New to modding here, wanted to ask how to add SMODS to my mod so I don't get this?

[frosty dock]

the LSP doesn't know about smods if you don't have it in your workspace

my modding workspace contains my entire mods folder

[violet void]

I created a cardarea above the Joker's cardarea (offscreen)

[surreal kernel]

Hmmm I click add folder to workspace and select SMODS? Doesn't seem to be it

(I'm 100% doing it wrong)

[merry raven]

How do ya do that, haven't looked into creating custom card areas before

[violet void]

Its in hook.lua and CardArea.toml

https://github.com/fantasygone/Baladrone

[merry raven]

Oooo cheers

[crystal perch]

could you send me the source code for baseball so i could have a look?

[maiden phoenix]

You can unzip the game exe and check the files yourself if you want (forgot which exactly, I think card.lua?)

[crystal perch]

i found it, low key forgot baseball card was a vanilla joker 💀

ok so using context.other_joker just makes it trigger the +4 if you simply have another joker, but i specifically want it to trigger after another joker's ability triggers

i know context.post_trigger is a thing but it doesn't seem to work no matter how i try

[dire palm]

How do I return a message without exiting my for loop?

[violet void]

card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('ph_boss_disabled'), colour = G.C.RED})

probably

[worthy stirrup]

So, im making a balatro joker, it has a large size for the joker, the sticker is small, like to the point it can barely be seen, how do i make the stickers bigger for it

[crystal perch]

uh

someone ban the bot 💀

thank you

[sullen fern]

how DO i enable debug mode?

there’s no conf.lua to be found

nvm!

i foudn it

[long sun]

trying to create a wild card, but i think my center is wrong, what should it be?
local _card = create_playing_card({front = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('pencilra')), center = G.P_CENTERS.m_wild}, G.hand, nil, nil, {G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced})

oop nevermind, it does indeed work!

[surreal kernel]

Hmm added smods to my workspace and still get this issue

[violet void]

whats the correct way to patch smods?

[dreamy thunder]

would this be unstable? im trying to make the mod not require talisman but still work with it

it works but im not sure

[sullen fern]

how do i setup mod metadata as well as set up the main lua file

i also wanna learn how to make lua files in different folders

[hushed field]

It's luckily not that difficult! Your main lua file just needs to be the same name as your mod. If you want lua files in different folders, you have to read those in with a function like SMODS.load_file. There's different ways to load in objects. Paperback has each joker as a separate lua file, and Cryptid has a lua file per class. I'd look into how those mods read in their files, depending on which method you'd prefer working with

[sullen fern]

having each joker as a seperate lua seems untidy so i’m gonna go the cryptid route

so i’ll have a lua file for each joker class (eg. nonlegendary.lua, legendary.lua, tokipona.lua, doilus.lua, etc.)

[hardy viper]

launch lovely with --dump-all as a command line argument, look in lovely/dump for the smods lua file you want to patch, then find the associated text file (which has the same name as the Lua file) and copy it's contents into the target field

[edgy mountain]

hi, i copied this code from a paperback joker
it is supposed to debuff all hearts
but currently, it is debuffing hearts even when the joker isnt present and Through different runs

[dreamy thunder]

bumping this

[violet void]

with launching lovely do you mean the .dll? I see no other lovely file

[hardy viper]

oh sorry i meant balatro

my bad

[prisma loom]

@violet void is this the method for importing vouchers?

[violet void]

It can be if everything is correct

[violet void]

it worked, thanks

[prisma loom]

this is my file directory

but it crashes :(

[violet void]

it shouldnt if you are doing the same as the seals

and that doesnt seem to be a folder

[lyric blade]

I want to make a card negative with set_edition, is it card:set_edition('negative') or what does come into the brackets?

If possible

[prisma loom]

it should be vouchers folder with a vouchers.lua inside?

[normal crest]

'e_negative'

[lyric blade]

Ah, thanks

[prisma loom]

iirc game auto created vouchers.lua outside that folder when I launched the game

it didnt work as well

[violet void]

if you need it that way

just do the same for the seals but with vouchers

[last sentinel]

Would evaluate_poker_hand(hand).top give you the name of the hand that a set of cards would be played as?

[prisma loom]

still crashes!

[normal crest]

add a / after voucherssss in load_file

[sullen fern]

can i use hex codes for ConsumableType

[normal crest]

yes

[sullen fern]

alright

[normal crest]

can either be HEX('FFFFFF') or just 'FFFFFF'

[prisma loom]

Is there a program that looks for small errors like this?

or extension

[glad osprey]

hi yes i still require assistance

pretty please

[normal crest]

dont know, it's a lack of understanding from your part, your previous code was looking for a file in objects folder called voucherssssvouchers.lua

[sullen fern]

how do atlases work

like i know how to make them

its SMODS.Atlas

[hardy viper]

SMODS.debuff_card(card, true) will debuff a card (second argument becomes false to undebuff it)

context.selling_self in calculate allows you to do something when the joker is sold (so undebuffing a card)

and i do not know how you can see if a card has a sticker, check madness code which checks for eternal stickers

[glad osprey]

is there a way to check if any card is sold, instead of itself

cuz just selling any joker works

[hardy viper]

apparently debuff_card is more complicated, read this

[sullen fern]

but how does making an object use a part of an atlas work

[glad osprey]

atlas = <atlas name>
pos = {x = <x>, y = <y>}
``` iirc

[sullen fern]

ahhh ty

[glad osprey]

yea thats how it is

[glad osprey]

x and y are ints that get multiplied by the px and py of the atlas btw

[hardy viper]

context.selling_card

this applies for any card, for only jokers also check whether context.area == G.jokers

[glad osprey]

so x=1 and y = 0 of a 75x91 atlas would be 75,0

[glad osprey]

coolio

[hardy viper]

fyi this info is on https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

[glad osprey]

main issue was i just couldnt find the disable function lol

[hardy viper]

ah gotcha

[sullen fern]

now, i think it’s time i learn how to make my own joker

[hardy viper]

SMODS.Joker{key="",calculate=function()end,loc_txt={name="",text={""}}}

shrimple..

[dire palm]

So, I have this code featuring a card_eval_status_text inside a for loop. The problem I'm encountering is that the messages appear only once the game gets out of the loop. Any idea how I can make it so they appear instantly instead?

[glad osprey]

hypothetically the stickers code would look smth like

if context.buying_card and card = c1 then
  debuff card
end
if context.selling_card and context.area == G.jokers then
  rebuff card
end

right?

[sullen fern]

can you format it like how you would see it in the code

[hardy viper]

card = c1?

[glad osprey]

it wasnt very clear

[hardy viper]

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

SMODS.Joker({
 key = "key", --translates to j_modprefix_key later on
 --other fields...
})

[hardy viper]

that table is the context that's provided when context.buying_card is true

context.card will be the card that's being bought

[glad osprey]

oh ok

so context.card = c1 then????

[hardy viper]

add the first event and then do card_eval_status_text immediately after (so take it out of the first event)

they will be consecutive since card_eval_status_text adds events as well

[hardy viper]

what is c1?

[glad osprey]

im not sure thats just what the guide says

"The card being bought also calculates itself with context { buying_card = true, card = c1 }."

[hardy viper]

ah i see

c1 is the same thing as the "card" argument that gets passed to the function

so if you want to do that when the card itself gets bought you'd check context.card == card

but be aware that only triggers when the joker is bought from the shop, not obtained from something like a buffoon pack or judgement

[glad osprey]

oh true

[past forge]

Hello there

[hardy viper]

you can use one of the several functions on a center that is called when a joker is created (set_ability, add_to_deck, etc)

[minor magnet]

how would i implement a joker similar to maximized from cryptid?

[hardy viper]

👋

[hardy viper]

what does that joker do

[past forge]

do you guys ave some guides to start in balatro modding? I dont have a lot of experience in Lua, but im fairly good at programming

[hardy viper]

is that the one that makes all face cards kings and all numbers ones

[minor magnet]

yes

im struggling to implement a similar joker

[dire palm]

That worked. Thank you.

[minor magnet]

this is that mine needs to do

[edgy mountain]

this also doesnt work

[hardy viper]

hook Card:get_id() and make it return whatever number you want for the circumstance

[edgy mountain]

supposed to debuff hearts while joker exists

[hardy viper]

so in this case if the old get_id returns 12, make it return 13

1-10 are the numbers, 11-13 for faces in order, 14 for ace

[minor magnet]

mhm

[glad osprey]

would

if context.playing_card_added and context.cardarea == G.joker and context.cards == card then

work?

[hardy viper]

you wouldn't do it in a calculate no

[glad osprey]

o

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker
use add_to_deck

it's documented there

[sullen fern]

this is what i have for my joker so far (most code is copied from the example jokers mod)

mainly from joker2

will i have to change anything

i know i will have to add things (like the whole "x1.5 mult for each negative" thing)

[graceful magnet]

yeah I mean when you call extra.mult that's not a thing you have, you have Xmult

[maiden river]

does add_card/create_card work with modded rarities?

[sullen fern]

so what do i do

[graceful magnet]

change every instance of extra.mult to extra.Xmult

[hardy viper]

yeah

[sullen fern]

now how do i use said function

[graceful magnet]

I want to make something that gains XMult when a retrigger occurs, how do I go about checking for a retrigger? I presume context.repetition is a whole step so I'm worried just using that will cause it to just rapidly upgrade.

[maiden river]

sick

[hushed field]

quite a broad question! I'd just play around with it a bit and see if it works or not. I don't really know the ins and outs of the way SMODS reads jokers or such, so I can't help beyond that, really

[sullen fern]

this is what my main lua file looks like right now

[ionic verge]

does anyone know how crypid allows more booster pack slots to be added to the shop?

[last sentinel]

anyone familiar with the evaluate_poker_hand function? I have a list of 5 card objects that i'd like to get the poker hand name of. Seems like evaluate_poker_hand should be my guy but i cant seem to get the actual played hand name

[royal ridge]

jankily

[minor magnet]

am i hooking correctly? i am new to lua so i get tangled up in the basics

[ionic verge]

great

[maiden river]

how do you use it? I tried putting the rarity's name but that crashed

[royal ridge]

i'll check real quick

[hardy viper]

you need to call the old function, so instead of local ret = Getid_old it'd be local ret = Getid_old(self)

you also need an end for that if statement

[minor magnet]

ohhh

[dreamy thunder]

it has something like this

[prisma loom]

@wintry solar is there a way to modify this patch so it allows ANY pack to have extra choice?

[hardy viper]

you also declare it wrong, needs to be function Card:get_id() not Card:get_id = function()

the colon syntax doesn't support that form of function declaration

[ionic verge]

how much of a problem would that to be to copy paste
cus im making a deck that adds an extra booster slot

[royal ridge]

@smods please add booster slot api

[minor magnet]

better now?

[dreamy thunder]

i dont think it would work

[royal ridge]

like bro 😭

[hardy viper]

you don't call the initial reference, should be local Getid_old = Card.get_id

[minor magnet]

mhm fixed

[prisma loom]

what mod is this?

[minor magnet]

all good now?

[royal ridge]

cryptid

[frosty dock]

Getid_old(self) instead of Getid_old()

other than that, looks good

[graceful magnet]

uh, I'm pretty sure I'm not missing that }

[violet void]

for some reason its hard coded when there is a card_limit 🙄

[prisma loom]

this is from ortalab (does it also work?)

[ionic verge]

mhm

[graceful magnet]

forgot to give the line numbers

[frosty dock]

you can't just put an assignment to some card config value into a return table

[minor magnet]

okok, last question, do i place this inside the joker code or like outside with a check for the joker?

[graceful magnet]

oooh

[violet void]

would be awesome if smods added it so everyone can stop patching that line

[frosty dock]

outside with a check for the joker

[minor magnet]

thank you very much

[frosty dock]

yeah that's stupid, I've wanted to patch this out but forgor

[hardy viper]

this will work but you need to also check whether you have the joker that allows this to happen exists

[royal ridge]

🤔

[hardy viper]

will be soon fr trust ong

[royal ridge]

seems smarter if it does work

[violet void]

could perchance add these 2 variables

[faint yacht]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/859921270196011060/1333225029055549470/bigbrain.gif

[sullen fern]

there it is.

it's actually in the game

all it does rn is give 1.5 xmult

[graceful magnet]

as I thought, it actually doesn't activate on card retrigger, but basically anywhere else in play

[hushed field]

starting to get somewhere now

[faint yacht]

next(context.poker_hands["Flush"]) is correct for checking if currently selected cards contain a Flush, ye?

[prisma loom]

So this checks the type of booster pack but what types of boosters are in vanilla? what can I insert instead of 'ggg'?

[graceful magnet]

hmm

[frosty dock]

where is repetitions defined?

-# I take it isn't

[graceful magnet]

it's used in vanilla code

[sullen fern]

how do i give a joker a modded rarity

[frosty dock]

in said code, it is defined as a local variable prior to being used

[past forge]

Hello guys, i want to start in the balatro modding, but i dont really have experience in Lua. Do you have some useful tutorials or documentation for this?

[frosty dock]

rarity = 'prefix_key' where prefix is the prefix of the mod that adds the rarity and key is the rarity's key

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-first-mod

[past forge]

thanks :D

[graceful magnet]

ahhh, okayyy...

so just using context.repetition causes it to activate on every initial card score and repetitions is assigned locally, what other manner would let me check for a card being retriggered?

[frosty dock]

what are you trying to achieve exactly?

[graceful magnet]

gaining Xmult each time a retrigger effect occurs

[frosty dock]

you'd have to add your own context, steamodded doesn't support that out of the box

[graceful magnet]

ech, mk

[sullen fern]

all of these cards currently use the same code

but two of them have custom rarities

but they appear as ERROR

so i probably need to add a localization thing

[wintry solar]

This is something I plan on doing along with voucher slots

[sullen fern]

how do i do that agian

[wintry solar]

Also shop rerolling

I’ll get round to it at some point

[faint yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-cat-peek-gif-10008520

[minor magnet]

toki pona mentioned

[sullen fern]

there's more where that came from

i just need to figure out how to actually add the names for rarities

[cerulean rose]

also i've been adding some apis in #1338044836087070740 if someone wants to port them over to SMODS #selfpromo

[wintry solar]

What are dyna blinds and why is it needed

Can’t you just edit the blind score and call the ui to update?

[nocturne garnet]

what is dynablinds

dynamic blinds??

what for??

[cerulean rose]

yeah

[nocturne garnet]

but like what for

[cerulean rose]

custom sizes that can change during blind select

parchment glove from strange pencil uses it to give an accurate preview of the current size when it's upcoming

[red quarry]

Halo, so i tried to make a joker that increase Xmult if round ended by certain poker hands (two pair). so far the Xmult upgrade after each blind defeated is working, but i cant figure out how to make it only upgrade when two pair is used to defeat the blind

[cerulean rose]

also will be adding more soon

[wintry solar]

I still don’t understand what it does

[cerulean rose]

check blue seal

[pulsar horizon]

If you need an idea for a money joker, consider The Joker Of Wall Street or something lmao

Besides that those look really cool

[wintry solar]

Is it just a function to change the blind scores?

[cerulean rose]

blinds can provide a score function that gives the required score for that blind

[cerulean rose]

also works in the Upcoming state

[wintry solar]

Oh rather than just a multiplicative value?

[cerulean rose]

yeah

[wintry solar]

I see

[cerulean rose]

The Point does that with it for its ^1.5 base

[wintry solar]

And what are all the functions you’ve created for?

[cerulean rose]

https://github.com/DigitalDetective47/strange-library/wiki/dynablind

i has a wiki

[past forge]

what id "dump_loc": false in the metadata exactly for

[sullen fern]

it works!

[normal crest]

You can check if #context.poker_hands["Two Pair"] > 0

I believe

I don't remember exactly what it is

[wintry solar]

Yeah I saw the wiki I’m just not sure when the other functions would be used from reading, the score function on blinds is cool though

[cerulean rose]

currently have planned safe compare for Talisman and a quick booster creator

StrangeLib.dynablind.get_blind_score is essentially a wrapper for Blind:score that also works for vanilla blinds (cus their centers won't include it)

StrangeLib.dynablind.find_blind is mostly performance‐oriented (to only update your specific blind with a custom context

[wintry solar]

Why wouldn’t you just use G.GAME .blind.chips (from memory might be different)?

[cerulean rose]

doesn't exist for upcoming blinds

[wintry solar]

Oh okay that seems pretty niche but sure

[cerulean rose]

fair

another use case for StrangeLib.dynablind.get_blind_score is to hook for other scoring modifiers

Strange Pencil's Squared Roots adds an exponential base modifier

[hardy viper]

@wintry solar why's this cardarea isn't it normally just area

[glad osprey]

could someone test my mod i cant open balatro rn (steam family share)

[cerulean rose]

StrangeLib.dynablind.get_blind_score is always up to date (is used by StrangeLib.dynablind.update_blind_scores)

[sullen fern]

okay i need to actually get to coding amalgamate now

[hardy viper]

beat up your brother shrimple 😇

[wintry solar]

It’s the place the area the card doing the calculating is

[glad osprey]

this is currently the code for amalgamate

[red quarry]

i also check the blue seal, but i lack the knowledge to actually breakdown what the code actually does 😂

[manic rune]

we all start somewhere dw lol, if you havent known the basics of LUA yet then i suggest checking the language tutorials first

[hardy viper]

this is awesome

it would be even better if you put the cat in the photo

[manic rune]

is that fucking notepad

😭

[hardy viper]

++

[graceful magnet]

oops forgot a quotation

[hardy viper]

install it.

[sullen fern]

so

[hardy viper]

😭

[manic rune]

did you flash him 😭

[manic rune]

for starters, you should use visual studio code for better coding experience, or just basically anything that supports coding

[past forge]

Okay probably dumb question but I dont know whats happening

[manic rune]

using notepad is tuff work though damn

[wintry solar]

G.GAME.last_hand_played == ‘Two Pair’

[graceful magnet]

It doesn't do anything 🫡

[sullen fern]

i switched to notepad++

[cerulean rose]

unrelated to your error but the assets folder should be lowercase

[manic rune]

wait so quick question, do you need this in your main.lua?

[wintry solar]

No you don’t

[manic rune]

the mod actually reads those headings so im curious if you need it

oh ok

[normal crest]

it's outdated

[wintry solar]

You should use a json file instead

[manic rune]

mhm, got it

[cerulean rose]

[manic rune]

nah but imagine

[sullen fern]

jasoon!!!!

[manic rune]

its

main.lua.txt

💀

[past forge]

its not lmao

[sullen fern]

who reacted with frowning

[past forge]

i mean

it shouldnt

[hardy viper]

np++ is good enough usually

[manic rune]

i dont know your language, but the "Type" should be smt like this

[wintry solar]

Light mode n++ is certainly a choice though

[past forge]

ok, no, its not

[manic rune]

else im pretty sure its .txt file lol

[normal crest]

it does say source file... and gets cut off

and that's spanish

[graceful magnet]

so it probably is based on how nothing's happening, so now I'm lost on what I have to write to check for repetitions, since uh, what I assumed checked for repetitions gets removed

[sullen fern]

oooh i like this scheme

[past forge]

It says "Archivo de origen Lua" so its the same but in spanish

[manic rune]

ah i see

how do i make a sticker actually show up

theres context.when_repeat?

no

i belive all of the coding goes here

oh?

you can just use x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult and remove the message part actually

This is so cursed

please put your message in the return

you don't need to use that function

other_card is never defined anyway

you should do if next(SMODS.find_card(bla blah))

What sort of repetitions are you looking for? Playing card repetitions?

[graceful magnet]

yes, any retrigger on a card

[sullen fern]

but which specific parts should i steal

[wintry solar]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and not context.blueprint then
  if card.ability.extra.last_card and context.other_card = card.ability.extra.last_card then
    card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.XmultGain
    return {
      message = localize(‘k_upgrade_ex’),
      message_card = card
    }
  else
    card.ability.extra.last_card = context.other_card
  end
end```

I think this works but it’s typed on mobile so might be scuffed

[graceful magnet]

ooo

i honestly don't understand what i'm meant to copy from

or do i copy it into if context.joker_main then

[graceful magnet]

uh oh

[cerulean rose]

joker in hand

[cerulean rose]

use bettercalc xmult

[graceful magnet]

oh oh hold on

[old bane]

my bad, joker in consumable slots

[wintry solar]

Oh it’s scuffed iOS inverted commas in the localise

[graceful magnet]

there is not a last_card var whoops

[sullen fern]

.

[wintry solar]

You don’t need one

Just replace the commas

[graceful magnet]

nnnno?

OH

the quotation marks

[cerulean rose]

'

[sullen fern]

what do i copy the code i just copied from baseball card into

[graceful magnet]

Yep works now, time to test everything I can

[past forge]

ive done it, no functionality yet, but mi first joker introduced to the game

:D

[turbid maple]

the joker object you made needs to come with a calculate function
thats where all the effects are handled, so stuff it into there

[sullen fern]

it already has it

[wintry solar]

How do you want the joker to function?

The same as baseball but for negatives?

[sullen fern]

ye

[turbid maple]

... also are you hoping to just copy and paste code you dont really understand and get things to work or do you have some vague idea of lua at the very least

[wintry solar]

if context.other_joker and context.other_joker.edition and context.other_joker.edition.key == “e_negative” then
  return {
    — put return stuff here
  }
end

Oh wait hold on

There

[spring lantern]

tried this, didn't fix it :(

[spring lantern]

checked through the code a couple times and im still not sure where the error is

[cerulean rose]

use xmult

[spring lantern]

let me just post this for context again

[sullen fern]

so what now

[wintry solar]

Put whatever you need in the return table

That’s it

That’s the entire code for your calculate function

[sullen fern]

alright

[spring lantern]

where, the return table?

[sullen fern]

do i keep the comma in the return table or no

[normal crest]

you can simplify the last check to and context.other_joker.edition.negative

[wintry solar]

What isn’t working again?

[wintry solar]

It doesn’t matter

[spring lantern]

the joker upgrades but the upgrade message doesn't happen

[wintry solar]

You don’t have an upgrade message

[spring lantern]

do i not?

this is meant to be that

[wintry solar]

Oh you’re not using the actual upgrade message

Smods version?

[sullen fern]

it works!!!!

[vocal verge]

should be this

[spring lantern]

version.lua says "1.0.0~ALPHA-1230c-STEAMODDED"

[wintry solar]

There we go

[spring lantern]

am i out of date

[normal crest]

that's like, 2 months old or smt

[cerulean rose]

very

[spring lantern]

unlucky

[cerulean rose]

latest is 1410a

[spring lantern]

lemme juyst grab the newest ver

[normal crest]

and btw, if that's an upgrade message you should remove the Xmult_mod

that'd add mult to the score

[cerulean rose]

i reccomend using git

[spring lantern]

right lol

[wintry solar]

Especially considering you’re in the shop

[spring lantern]

actually yea i should hook up github to it

[normal crest]

Yeah all my mods are just git clones

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure it’ll just crash

[spring lantern]

i forget wh yi added Xmult_mod i think someone suggested it

[normal crest]

and then I just made a script to git pull on all of them

[glad osprey]

how do i do smth when a joker is added to your joker slots

[cerulean rose]

someone def did, they wrong tho

[sullen fern]

i found a joker i made that doesn't have a unique effect

basically a placeholder for an actual effect

[normal crest]

context.buying_card

please read the wiki

[wintry solar]

Taking advice from here is great but there are some people who give very bad advice

[spring lantern]

fair

[glad osprey]

that wouldnt work if the card was gotten from buffon pack / judgement tho i think

[spring lantern]

was just trying anything and everything to fix it LOL

[normal crest]

that's true

[glad osprey]

so srockw, please read the wiki

[normal crest]

at least it covers one of the cases you're looking for

if you want to cover all cases at once maybe try hooking into CardArea:emplace and check that the card being added is a joker

[glad osprey]

ok how does one hook tho

also would that contain a reference to the card being added

[normal crest]

yeah it will

[glad osprey]

ok cool

[normal crest]

it's passed as an argument to the function

[normal crest]

here's a random example i made

that'd be adding code to the end of the function

if you want to add code before, call the reference after your code

[sullen fern]

the next joker i want to impliment is dream and friends

[chrome prawn]

I attempted to add a tooltip for an edition to a joker but now the game is telling me that edition is a nil value for some reason

[vocal verge]

wouldn't it just be something from here?

[normal crest]

that says playing cards, so I'd assume it doesn't include jokers

[vocal verge]

well it has G.jokers

so idk man

[glad osprey]

that unfortunately only applies to playing cards

[vocal verge]

L game /s

[normal crest]

that means that cards in your jokers area are triggered by that context

[wintry solar]

G.jokers is also actually the cardarea that’s sent to consumeables too

[glad osprey]

what

the hell

[wintry solar]

Not that checking the cardarea is a particularly common thing you need

[normal crest]

is your mod prefix "moss" and your edition key "green"

[sullen fern]

first of all, the description.

[wintry solar]

Mostly useful in context.individual

[wintry solar]

This snippet of crash and code isn’t remotely helpful

[sullen fern]

so, this card needs to create four spectral cards with the negative edition when a total of $100 has been spent

[normal crest]

why make it only one line

[vocal verge]

Track money spent
add it to a variable starting from 0
when it hits > 100, take away 100 from the variable and create the cards
go scrooge go

[sullen fern]

now it is two

[glad osprey]

what do i replace Card.draw with for the CardArea:emplace

[normal crest]

it's on cardarea.lua in the base game

[normal crest]

i feel like the 2nd line is way longer than the first

[sullen fern]

balanced maybe

[glad osprey]

this does not mean anything to me rn

[sullen fern]

i need to figure out how to do all of these

[glad osprey]

oh wait

maybe it does

[sullen fern]

the var should be easy

[chrome prawn]

yes

[past forge]

Im reading the API docs for steammodded, i dont know if I just passed on that but what is G.play referencing here?

[vocal verge]

Played hand

I assume

[past forge]

Okayy thanks

[chrome prawn]

well is this the line of code the crash points to but the game only crashes when I have the info_queue line
when I remove it the game works normally

[glad osprey]

@normal crest like this??????

[normal crest]

don't put the hook inside the calculate

[chrome prawn]

this line of code is attached to an edition btw
the info_queue is attached to another joker

[sullen fern]

if i knjew what the var should be

[normal crest]

put it at the top level of your file

otherwise that looks fine

actually you probably can't assign with :

[spring lantern]

who would've thought, updating my 2 month old smods fixed my issue

[sullen fern]

how do i track money spent and add it to said variable

[turbid maple]

joker specific vars go into the config field with something called extra in it i forget the specifics

[glad osprey]

so replace those with periods?

[normal crest]

yeah replace both with . and make sure to include 'self' as the first argument of your function

[wintry solar]

Just the first is necessary

[spring lantern]

think something's wrong with the math tho

[wintry solar]

You can leave the second one

[sullen fern]

what should i name the variable

[glad osprey]

period or self

[turbid maple]

Look I really suggest taking a look at this https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[spring lantern]

why is it adding one extra dollar when i reroll

do i just do - 1

lmaop

[turbid maple]

See the examples, see how Jokers are structured

[normal crest]

they mean you can leave the function as it is, just replace the first : with .

oops

replied to wrong message

[normal crest]

this

[glad osprey]

lol

[sullen fern]

so it would be money

in this case

or would it? because i'm supossed to be tracking spent money

[wintry solar]

The rerolling cost is changed before your calculation

[glad osprey]

one more thing, how do i check if the card added has a sticker

i presume smth like card.sticker

[turbid maple]

variable names are whatever you want

its up to you

[normal crest]

depends on the sticker

[turbid maple]

youre creating it youre the one tracking it

[turbid maple]

yes

[glad osprey]

its a modded one, similar to the perishable/eternal stickers

[turbid maple]

and it'd be referenced in the calculate function as card.ability.extra.spentmoney

[sullen fern]

so now we need to check if the amout of money spent is greater than or equal to 100

[spring lantern]

of course it is 😭 guess the solution is slapping a -1 then

[turbid maple]

now that I think about it what the hell's in card.ability I never bothered to gake a look

[normal crest]

i'm not sure how to check modded ones

[wintry solar]

might mess up with free rerolls though

[sullen fern]

and if that's true, then create four negative spectral cards and reset the spentmoney var

[turbid maple]

yes

you need to manually update spentmoney yourself whenever money is used though

[sullen fern]

so how do we track the spentmoney var

[turbid maple]

how it works is that when the game handles an event, the game calls each joker's calculate function with information about the event

so you'd need to find events that correspond to money being spent

then have the calculate function updare the variable when said events occur

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

please read this

[sullen fern]

i saw context.buying_card but that's not it

[glad osprey]

how do you normally check?

[turbid maple]

well as far as I'm aware the base game only offers that

[normal crest]

if self.ability.eternal and you can replace eternal with pinned, perishable, rental

[turbid maple]

i havent tried to do this before and I dont have access to the source code right now

[spring lantern]

wait shit true is there a better way of doing it then?

[normal crest]

maybe hook into ease_dollars?

i don't know if every game function that spends money calls that tho

presumably it would

[wintry solar]

I'd have to take a look at the reroll code

[turbid maple]

I was about to offer a suggestion then I realized nothing triggers off buying a voucher so to really keep track of all money spent you'd need to do some digging intk the source code

[glad osprey]

appears to be self.ability.<mod prefix>_<sticker key>

[turbid maple]

I donr have access to it at this moment so I'm afraid I cant help rn

[glad osprey]

just from looking at my save file lol

[spring lantern]

i'll just leave it as this although i'm pretty sure this would also not work with certain modded jokers and such

[sullen fern]

i'm just gonna worry about making scrooge later

[spring lantern]

will figure out a non-spaghetti solution later

[sullen fern]

trying to keep track of spent money seems out of my league for now

[glad osprey]

whoopsies

[turbid maple]

actually theres probably a cryptid joker that does something like this

gimme a sec

[normal crest]

remove 'self' from the function parameters

that's already taken into account by the :

[glad osprey]

yea no works now thanks lol

[normal crest]

you can make your own context that you can use in any calculate function btw

you could call SMODS.calculate_context { adding_joker = true, joker = card } for example, and then in your calculate use if context.adding_joker then blah blah

as an example

[rose dragon]

how can I get the amount of joker slots left?

[normal crest]

you can get the total amount of joker slots by doing G.jokers.config.card_limit, and the amount of slots used by #G.jokers.cards

[rose dragon]

yeah but what about negative cards?

[turbid maple]

Okay Cryptid tracks money spent by patching ease_dollars

[normal crest]

negative cards add 1 to the limit

so even if you had 100 negative jokers, the limit would be 105 and the amount of jokers 100

[glad osprey]

credit card still works when debuffed lol

anyways the sticker works now ty srock

[cursive glade]

is there a context for when a joker has spawned in? Like if I wanted a joker to have an effect as soon as it's in the jokers area instead of waiting for it to run the next calculate cycle? or would a calculate need to be added in that part of the cycle via a lovely patch?

[glad osprey]

i literally just solved that lmao

[cursive glade]

hah good timing lol

[glad osprey]

yea you would need to patch into CardArea:emplace

[maiden phoenix]

Look into add_to_deck function

[glad osprey]

oh yea that works if the function is in the joker itself

[cursive glade]

thanks. i'll look into it

[glad osprey]

if not,

local emplace_ref = CardArea.emplace
function CardArea:emplace(card, location, stay_flipped)
            local ret = emplace_ref(self, card, location, stay_flipped)

        return ret
    end

is what worked for me

[cursive glade]

as a lovely patch? what would I use to detect that?

[normal crest]

just saying that will trigger for every card area, if you want jokers specifically you're missing a check for that

[violet void]

which kind of effect?

[cursive glade]

Something like "He comes with an entourage. Upon purchase, also adds X, Y, and Z Jokers. (must have room)"

[spring lantern]

okay so apparently this doesn't account for buying vouchers 😭

[violet void]

what if the joker appears through Judgement?

[glad osprey]

does this look banana

[spring lantern]

do i actually just gotta bite the bullet and hook into ease_dollars

[cursive glade]

No idea. I'd have to test that and decide how to deal with it.

[void pecan]

add a brown dot at the top instead of it being all yellow

for a banana

[normal crest]

that's probably way easier anyway tbh

[spring lantern]

i am terrified of hooks unfortunately

like

[graceful magnet]

okay so I've definitely misused pseudorandom_element here, it said it takes from a table of values, I was assuming I'd be able to accomplish this with an array but it appears not. What should be adjusted?
