What version of Lua is Balatro running? Is table.move() not available?

rough furnace
#

5.1

#

(luajit)

stray warren

great, just below the cutoff

rough furnace
#

it might be

#

When I try to use it, it just says "attempt to call field 'move' (a nil value)"

#

i suppose you cant use loops to make jokers/consumables faster lol

image.png image.png
#

a bit of a shame

whole hawk
#

could someone mod the game so that chicot reverses boss blinds instead? start with 0 discards > double your discards, all club cards are debuffed > all club cards give x1.5mult when scored

#

genuinely the worst joker in the game

manic rune
#

you could, though that needs a lot of patching

manic rune
whole hawk
# manic rune why so?

because i'm malding over the fact that my last 5 soul cards have been chicot and have tanked my runs

manic rune
#

and most of the time its not even that bad either

#

not having to deal with debuffs is quite convenient, i had my run ruined because of "All face cards are debuffed" so many times lol

i dont actually know what im doing wrong there 💀

thats a manually put consumable of mine

I'm assuming one of your values for the extra is nil

#

(likely wrong key)

manic rune
#

its "extra" which seems to be nil, kinda weird

your the one setting extra

Do we have to play_sound('multhit2') before calc returns, or would the game/smods handle that part?

They also take care of showing the messages, so you don't need to include localizing stuff (unless you want a special message)

Idk what I'm looking at, but you can simplify all those not equal checks by removing them

#

is there an smods way to execute an action when you buy/select a specific joker from a pack? or would i have to lovely patch that

runic pecan
normal crest
#

Answer is not really

marble flint
normal crest
#

Solutions included a hook to add_to_deck or cardarea:emplace

solar eagle
#

thats what i figured

#

add_to_deck is prob easiest

#

ty!

normal crest
#

Unfortunately

runic pecan
marble flint
#

it'd be god-awful form to do so, but you can change how a Lua object behaves on member access (a.b or a[b]) or member assignment (a.b = c or a[b] = c) by making it call an arbitrary function

solar eagle
#

where's it defined? dont see it in misc_functions, common_events, state_events, card.lua, or game.lua

#

maybe i missed it

normal crest
#

I was referring to every ~= check in the screenshots you sent

In the for loops

I believe G.GAME.hands has a reference to the example hands

random sleet
#

does cause issue with spectrum framework's spectrum hands since they use a dummy "wild suit"

frosty dock
#

not like the example can't be replaced by mods using it (six suits does this)

random sleet
#

pog

#

that means i should make my spectrum hands do that when i see six suits

#

or maybe i can just check if there is a different fifth suit? idk complicated x x

anyone can help me create a deck? Ehe, i'm so dumb xD

past forge

exactly the same hand

#

(i think)

rose dragon
# placid compass anyone can help me create a deck? Ehe, i'm so dumb xD

create an atlas of back textures for the deck, which is a grid of back textures, each back should be 71x95 pixels
add/modify this code to your main lua file

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "decks",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
    path = "decks.png" -- the name of the deck file, i will be using decks.png for mine
})

then, add this basic code after that to register the deck into the game, everything which i comment edit at the end you should edit

SMODS.Back({
    key = "DECK_KEY", -- EDIT
    loc_txt = {name = "DECK NAME", text = {'Deck Subtext', 'Respond if you need help with text markdown'}}, -- EDIT
    atlas = 'decks', pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }, -- make sure that you're using the same atlas key and adjust the x and y correctly
    config = { extra = { } }, -- some configurations for scaling and etc.
    calculate = function(_self, _back, _context) -- remove the underscores if you are using the variable
        -- MODIFY THIS FUNCTION HEAVILY; https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions
    end
})

that should be about it for the basics

runic pecan
molten ice
#

i don't think that's supported by smods as of currently, it's basically just automate the page separation and stuff, as the collection page orders are always fluids

#

other mods can technically adding to your consumable as well and cause things to shift around, so there's not really a good way to determine proper order if there's a dynamic amount per page I think

#

you could probably build a completely custom collection page though and hook the call using it

# fallen pelican x8 is crazyy

I'm under the impression that recreating the example would take a lot of meticulous effort and/or luck, so I feel like it should have a big reward

yo, hi everyone

#

i, as a very mentally stable person with 0 knowledge of modding or löve (or lua at all) decided today that i wanna pick up balatro modding because i had an idea.

past forge
#

wow

#

good luck then

#

that was me yesterday and im not doing bad at all

#

ive made 2 jokers so far

olive moth
#

problem is - i can't figure out where to start and what, like, programs to use for it all

#

everyone directed me to this server's modding section, and either there isn't a guide thread in the forum channel, or my attention-impaired ahh didn't see it

#

any help/tips?

yes, this is the best and until now ive learned a lot

olive moth
#

nah, i meant like i need to reeducate myself a bit, because i'm only thinking in godot terminology here (which i don't even have a 100% vocabulary of), so i need to actually understand what a table is 🥲

#

but that's minutia

glad osprey
#

ok so just forget godot

#

just forget all of it

#

tables are what lua objects are

olive moth
#

oh, starting to catch on

past forge
#

with practice we'll get it

olive moth
glad osprey
#

so if you wanted to make a joker it would be smth like

-- SMODS.<whatever object you want to define>
SMODS.Joker {
-- what the joker would be called internally (like if you were checking what a joker is)
key = "key",
-- what shows up in game
loc_text = {
--- name of the card
  name = "name",
--- description of the card
  text = {
    "description line 1",
    "description line 2"
    }
  }
}

(based off the fact it's the only part using the word "local" here)

and it returns null and everything goes down the drain

I want a stake that doesn't apply the other stakes and simply forces discards to become Hands instead

Hello, good peploe of balatro. Today I come with a maybe not that simple question: How do pools (for jokers, for example) work? How do I set them up? How do I add jokers to them etc etc (idk) (ok, more than one question)

ionic timber

what's the best context to calculate a scaling x_mult similarly to Steel Joker ? (for every steel card grant x0.2) I wish to do it for every joker with negative, but can't really find an easy context to update the value

I dont get this to work, the face cards are destroyed, but the mult doesnt add

#

the print for "That was a face card" never shows up so the error must be in that for loop

you arent giving xmult anywhere

I know im not doing the joker main, but the mult is not scaling

@wintry solar hope you don't mind the ping, the new select_card functionality seems to not let you use consumables while a pack with selectable cards is open

is there any chance this could be implemented per-card? i have a consumable type wih a hidden spectral card i wouldn't want to allow to be pulled to the consumable area due to perkeo shenanigans

  • context.destroy_card is a boolean and is used to mark the state where you can return { remove = true } to destroy scoring cards. This should go with your first if
  • If you want it to trigger when cards are removed, you need to check context.remove_playing_cards, although that apparently also triggers on discard for some reason, so I'd test that
    • You can filter that out by also checking context.scoring_hand
  • The list of cards in that instance is context.removed

Replace ~= self with ~= card for that

In calculate, card is the actual joker, self is the code (more or less)

Well it’s more that you need to make sure you do everything that’s required when removing a playing card and the majority of people have no idea how to do that

I should make a util function to do it probably

ronald no longer applies perishable on himself but he still applies perishable on too many cards

The other one is for joker retriggers without a return table fyi

marble flint
#

why are neither of those documented

wintry solar
#

Because writing docs isn’t fun

sullen fern
#

okay, there we go

image.png
#

i want the message to appear below the affected card and not ronald

#

so when a card gets afflicted with perishable the "i'm lovin' it" appears

#

i also don't want ronald to reapply perishable to an already perishable joker

wintry solar
#

message_card = whateveryourappliedrefis

sullen fern
#

actually, i want perishable to apply at the end of the shop, not the end of a round

#

because applying perishable at the end of a round makes it tick down by 1 immediatley

#

okay it applies at the end of the shop but the "i'm lovin it" message doesn't appear under the card

#

maybe it should be before the code?

image.png
#

no. that didn't work

#

why is it not showing up?

#

also ronald still applies perishable to already perishable jokers

#

which in turn resets the perishable timer

you put message_card alongside message

tho I wasn't aware message_card exists

You'll have to explicitly enable your mod to allow retriggers of Jokers.

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return { retrigger_joker = true }
end

Then you can use this set of conditions... you'll just need to get the amount of Bonus cards in your deck. Also, full deck or what's *left* in the deck?

if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and card == G.jokers.cards[1] then
 return { repetitions = value } -- where value is the result of the amount of Bonus cards.

i saw that in the wiki but was unsure how i should use it

#

thanks

what platform do you use for coding, ive been using notepad which is probably not a good thing to be using, but i could be wrong

spring lantern
#

i would recommend vscode

#

i realize i shouild be sending the entire code for my joker

the three most common are vsc notepad++ and sometimes neovim but the more important thing is incorporating luals (which is easiest on vscode)

normal crest
#

luals meaning lua language server

if you're able to ignore the millions of warnings due to undefined globals then yes

this should work?

and you're missing the config definition in your joker

# sullen fern copied directly from steel joker code 
local num = 0 --we increment this
for i, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do --iterate through every playing card we have
 if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_bonus") then --check for the enhancement 
  num = num + 1 --increment num
 end
end
--num now holds the number of bonus cards we have
--if you only want the number of bonus cards in deck (so excluding those discarded, played, in hand) replace G.playing_cards with G.deck.cards

no this is neovim

normal crest
#

Is it possible to achieve that in vscode

rough furnace
#

but you should be able to configure luals the same in vscode

hardy viper
#

for both you have to include steamodded and balatro in your workspace

normal crest
#

Are you able to point me towards a guide to setting up the ls for that

rough furnace
#

This is what i did

#

if you don't care about it not working on others machines you can just change hte .luarc paths to the full paths

sullen fern
rough furnace
#

theres some extgension you need probably

hardy viper
sullen fern
#

so what this is doing is finding every bonus card and putting it into a var

#

which is num

normal crest
#

it is counting the amount of bonus cards in your full deck

hardy viper
#

well it doesn't put the cards in the var, it increments the var by one everytime it sees a bonus card

sullen fern
#

i see

#

should this go into the loc_vars section of my joker

#

because num is indeed a var

hardy viper
#

naw, in the calculate

#

variables can exist anywhere

#

when and where they become invalid is complicated

sullen fern
#

do i put it before the code that does the whole retrigger thing

hardy viper
#

yup

#

and for repetitions you'll put repetitions = num

sullen fern
#

full joker code now

image.png
normal crest
#

change the card == G.jokers.cards[1] to ~=

#

Tho

#

That will repeat every joker

sullen fern
#

okay

normal crest
#

If you only want to repeat the leftmost you need more

sullen fern
#

there's MORE???

normal crest
#

do you even understand your code

#

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card ~= card and context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[1] then there you go

i should add i made these changes

ah you need to use context.other_card in has_enhancement

#

card is your joker, your joker is never going to be steel

obtuse silo
#

i see

normal crest
#

An mult shouldn't be a string in your config

sullen fern
#

+nil ❤️

it should be a number

#

okay one doubt

#

how do you put the mod name under the joker quality?

normal crest
#

that gets put there by default?

normal crest
#

I didn't know about specifying libraries

#

this is all I put
