play_sound doesn't have context of being called from your mod

[past forge]

oh okay

now it just deciced it cant decode ogg

[minor furnace]

I still do not understand why these lines are crashing my game when I hover over the custom joker

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
    return {vars = {center.ability.extra.mult}}
end

[dim lynx]

whats the crash

[minor furnace]

^

it's that

[past forge]

"cofig"

instead of config

[minor furnace]

thanks, I hate it

[minor furnace]

the bane of my existence isn't my ability to code, it's my ability to spell

[nova finch]

anyway, is there any documentation on how calc_dollar_bonus works?

[hushed field]

the amount of times I've thought I fundamentally don't understand the way balatro works, only to realize I just did a capitalization error is humiliating, honestly

[past forge]

check the code for the golden joker

[grim remnant]

question! i want to scale a value by rounds elapsed just in general--not how many you've cleared since getting the joker, but the literal round value. in pseudocode, i want 1 + (0.05 * Rounds). so uh. How do I do that?
config = { extra = { Echips = 1 + (0.05 * idklol } },

[limpid halo]

oph my god jimbo on death row

[sturdy compass]

Just got up an tried this. It works, but I'm trying to get it in the normal spot (like a Joker's sell button), not coming out of the bottom

[maiden phoenix]

Wonder if its tied to the cardarea

[sturdy compass]

I do too

[manic rune]

quick question, where did you guys learn about how to add UIs?

[sturdy compass]

other mods lol

[past forge]

why are the message and the sounds not playing here?

[manic rune]

oof, i see

[red flower]

the position of the use buttons is determined by card area yes

you need to hook into card:highlight i think

[limpid halo]

double check what you're passing into your Event

[red flower]

search bar "from:eremel" lol

[manic rune]

fair

[grim remnant]

i'm yet to add the actual "progress a round" thing but this is tossing up an error. any idea why??

            }
        end
    end
}```

[red flower]

the config can't check other config values

you need to change echips to not use scaler or roundeslapsed

[sturdy compass]

That did it, thank ya

[red flower]

yay

[orchid thunder]

WIERD WAY TO SEE IT BUT IG

[manic rune]

i have a question actually

i have seen a lot of mods adding an additional card slot below the consumable slots

if you use multiple of those mods, how would that work?

[limpid halo]

probably poorly

try it, ig?

[red flower]

idk exactly but the ss from dimserenes pack are always funny

we should have a cardarea in every empty space

[limpid halo]

least modded balatro run

[manic rune]

why do you even have a clock in balatro, isnt that a bit overkill 😭

[limpid halo]

for the time based joker effects, duh

[manic rune]

oh

[limpid halo]

if its tuesday and 10pm set score to zero and set hands to zero

[manic rune]

nah i have an idea, make a joker which works best from 3 am to 6 am

forcing people to stay up late to grind balatro

🗣️

the gambling addiction doesnt stop

[limpid halo]

"Gains +Infinity mult after 10 hours"

[manic rune]

^^^^^ Infinity mult

[manic rune]

actually, i just noticed something

mmmmblueprint_compat = true,

mmmm?

[frosty dock]

the curse of restarting the game

[nova finch]

If i wanted to change the width and height of a joker like with photograph or wee, how do I do that?

[manic rune]

fair enough

[manic rune]

probably something to do with this

[limpid halo]

microwaved blueprint

[grim remnant]

i really wish there was a better restart command than holding M HLJKFGDS

[manic rune]

M joker

[manic rune]

nah same 😭

[grim remnant]

fixing that still yields the same error tho

[tepid crow]

People dont want to change it :))

[limpid halo]

THERS A RESTART COMMAND?

😭

[tepid crow]

Yeah hold M

@grim remnant that should fix your issue, though you would have to add some other stuff to increase roundsElapsed after each round yourself

using context.end_of_round

...oh wait

the third line of text

[manic rune]

i honestly still resorted to pressing X even when i knew the shortcut

holding M is still too annoying for me

😭

since i have vsc in the background, it will start writing "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" in my code

[past forge]

skill tree? what is that mod?

[manic rune]

something rpg

i have that mod

[unkempt thicket]

grim

[red flower]

not my ss sorry no idea

[manic rune]

oof

[grim remnant]

i do have to ask, how do i make it not "nil" while in the collection menu?

[stray warren]

It's Grim

[manic rune]

yeah i just remembered, no wonder why i dont see any mod with "rpg" when i searched in my mods folder lol

[red flower]

what's the code now?

[stray warren]

Set a default value in the card's ability table or loc_vars function

[red flower]

if it's what bepis sent earlier it's missing a variable in loc vars

[manic rune]

oh, it is?

[limpid halo]

im having a little silly but shouldn't this... work?
I want to override all music with custom track when joker is active
If i just return the big number, it plays always which is yes swag
am i brainfarting on how SMODS.find_card works??

Items/Loader.lua

-- Music override on Timeout joker
SMODS.Sound {
    key = "timeout_music",
    path = "timeout.wav",
    select_music_track = function()
        if next(SMODS.find_card("timeout")) then
            return 2e512
        end
        return false
    end,
}

Items/Jokers/Timeout.lua

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'timeout',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Timeout',
-- ...etc joker node

[grim remnant]

ah, what do i put in there then?

[manic rune]

i didnt notice since im just fixing his error

[manic rune]

just an assumption basing on how smods usually work, dont you need your prefix behind the joker?

like, j_(prefix)_timeout or something

[red flower]

you should add a second var that it's the same as what's after echips_mod =
and change the #3# for #2#

[stray warren]

Not when you're defining your Joker. It gets added automatically

[manic rune]

ah i see

[orchid thunder]

i ned help BAD

[limpid halo]

my assumption was that was only needed for vanilla functions

doesn't seem to work

[manic rune]

whats the problem chief

[grim remnant]

i mean, Echips is meant to be 1 + (0.05 * roundsElapsed), so i kinda wanna use that if i can help it?

[orchid thunder]

i can get this Frickign Ui to go up for the love of god

[manic rune]

do that in context.end_of_round so that it will add when the round is ending

[limpid halo]

was missing the j, you do need the full legal government name in find_card

[manic rune]

i see

[limpid halo]

j_com_beepsterr_genmod_timeout worked :^)

[red flower]

can you move it at all or nah

[manic rune]

damn, i havent read the ui stuff yet, passing this to other modders 🗣️

[past forge]

x2

[orchid thunder]

no i cant seem to move it at all

[manic rune]

is that deadass a website link 😭

[grim remnant]

wait, i'm confused. do i just set the base variable values to 1 in the config = line?

[manic rune]

mhm

if a variable in loc_vars gets changed

[limpid halo]

no but im used to java namespacing so w/e

[manic rune]

your joker's description will change too

[orchid thunder]

whateber i do Nothing changes

[wintry solar]

You can reference galdur/Malverk for creating ui elements that have card areas

[orchid thunder]

ig

[manic rune]

for instance, +#1# Mult in loc_txt and in loc_vars, i have card.ability.extra.multGain

if i increase card.ability.extra.multGain in calculation, my joker's description should also change

[limpid halo]

btw is that how cryptid's glitched cards work? do they just randomize those values?

[manic rune]

probably? i havent read too much cryptid's code yet

[atomic edge]

how could i change the card:set_base function from the card.lua to check if the new card is of the same suit as the card its changing it into

[grim remnant]

so uh, how do i increment roundsElapsed at the end of round? just?

            return {
                cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
                end_of_round = true,
                game_over = game_over, -- true or false
                roundsElapsed = roundsElapsed + scaler
        }
        end```

[atomic edge]

i just dont understand it at all

[manic rune]

nope, you do this:

if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
  roundsElapsed = roundsElapsed + 1
end

i dont think you need to return anything here

[stray warren]

card.ability.extra.roundsElapsed

[grim remnant]

i mean, it's incremented by the value in scaler, not 1

[manic rune]

oh actually?

i thought your Echips work by: 1 + (scaling * roundsElapsed)

[grim remnant]

OH

i'm a fool

[nova finch]

still trying to figure this out. how do i change the hitbox of a card?

[grim remnant]

forgot that this is for roundsElapsed and not Echips ^^;

[manic rune]

oof

[red flower]

you don't need roundselapsed at all in that case, just increment scaler

[manic rune]

but also, remember to call card.ability.extra.roundsElapsed instead of just roundsElapsed like what OppositeWolf corrected

ngl, yeah

[grim remnant]

end of round crashes--oh, that'd be why

[manic rune]

since you are getting that from here

ability isnt exactly config but you get my point ❤️

[grim remnant]

hmm.

[stray warren]

No curly brace for if statements lol

[manic rune]

at the end_of_round part

theres {}

oh also

you dont need "," here, since this is not a table

[grim remnant]

ohhhh

[manic rune]

but if you want to get your joker to send a message, you would need to do

return{
  message = "smt",
}

or a function which i forgot its name, try asking other people for this one, sorry 💀

[stray warren]

localize(localization_key)

[atomic edge]

guys how do i check if two cards have the same rank please

[orchid thunder]

do you know where i find what the arguments for the SPRITE and CARDAREA functions are?

[stray warren]

If card:get_rank() == other_card:get_rank()

[orchid thunder]

ok good news and bad news

its closer

[manic rune]

im a bit curious, what are you doing here?

[red flower]

the problem is that the cage has a hole in it

[manic rune]

i actually thought this was your take on the loading/starting screen

😭

until i saw that 1/1

[orchid thunder]

its going to be kidna like death card in incryption for balatro incrybed

[wintry solar]

Look at the sprite.lu and cardarea.lua files

[barren basin]

is there a way to change the priority of an existing vanilla rank in a way that affects the order the card is drawn in in the hand and how much it scores

[grim remnant]

well, that's annoying

[quasi thicket]

uh hello, im sorry if this is a bit of a silly question, i'm looking to make my own personal mod which would be a simple swap of how the cards look, my boyfriend is a big fan of the "moomins" franchise and i figured it'd be fairly easy to make the face cards into something moomins related for his birthday, problem is i do not know how i would go about that, i dont need an entire tutorial, i'd just really appreciate being pointed in the direction of where i could learn to do smth like this since im fairly new, thank you for your time and sorry if its a weird thing to ask.

[manic rune]

oh shit, thats cool

[red flower]

message can't be a number

[orchid thunder]

its cool for everyone but me

[manic rune]

every feature is cool for everyone but programmers

[grim remnant]

makes sense, though how do i make it display a variable then? i want it to display "^Echips" :o

[red flower]

tostring()

[grim remnant]

the coolest ideas are often the ones most annoying to implement. there's probably a law for that.

[manic rune]

thats because it is almost guaranteed your ideas have been considered by other programmers, but the work to implement them are so tedious they straight up gave up before even trying

[orchid thunder]

i dont understand how to move it

[grim remnant]

how can i put the ^ before the tostring?

[red flower]

"^".. tostring(your number)

although you don't need tostring there

[frosty dock]

you can do echips = ... instead of Echip_mod and message (or might be e_chips, can't recall

it includes the default message

[atomic edge]

saviour

[frosty dock]

lies

Card:get_rank() is not a function that exists

it's Card:get_id()

[manic rune]

get_id()

[stray warren]

oops

was on my phone, sorry

[manic rune]

it fine

[atomic edge]

oh thanks

and what is the function for the suit?

[manic rune]

get_suit()

[atomic edge]

thanks

[grim remnant]

mostly functioning now, tho for some reason it's applying scaling twice and i can't help but feel like at some point i got my wires crossed in coding this

[manic rune]

can return Diamonds, Hearts, Clubs, or Spades

what is that debug info stuff

[red flower]

you calculate echips twice

[grim remnant]

i put it there to help track the variables themselves. ;P

[red flower]

oh wait i was going off the previous screenshot

[manic rune]

wait so, scaling is increased twice after every round?

[grim remnant]

alright, that's definitely not the intended scale.

[manic rune]

oh i see the problem here

[grim remnant]

no, it's supposed to be just. base value of 1, every round elapsed (tracked by roundsElapsed) add 0.05 (or scaler)

[manic rune]

it actually expoentially increases here lol

[grim remnant]

wuh oh

[manic rune]

this line

it should be card.ability.extra.Echips = 1 + (blah blah) instead

[grim remnant]

ohhhh!

[orchid thunder]

how od i move ui objects closer together

[manic rune]

💔 would love to help but i understand shit about ui rn

[red flower]

i understand some but i can't really help without a pc to test rn

[atomic edge]

how could i check if i have a certain joker

like

if <has jimbo> then etc..

[red flower]

SMODS.find_card(card_key)

[orchid thunder]

thats intresting

[atomic edge]

and that returns true/false?

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card(card_key)) tells you if you have any

[orchid thunder]

but i want the 2 clamp things closer xd

[red flower]

it's a list of all the ones it finds

[atomic edge]

okay thanks

[dreamy thunder]

how can i get this to trigger once?

i really dont know what i did there

[orchid thunder]

hey Eremel do you know how to move objects side to side?

[stray warren]

Use context.before instead of context.individual

[dreamy thunder]

i forgot context.before was a thing 😭

[unkempt thicket]

How do i change the max playable cards to 6?

[stray warren]

Just so you know that context.indivdiual is called for each card in scoring hand, that's why it happened five times

[stray wing]

Is there an easy way to see what cards are upcoming in the deck?

[grim remnant]

almost entirely functional, but the end-of-round message doesn't appear for whatever reason. any idea why?

[stray warren]

You could probably see how misprint does it to show it on its description

[dreamy thunder]

didnt work, now it does nothing

[stray warren]

but haven't looked into it myself

[stray wing]

wait what does misprint do

[red flower]

it has to be in a return (only the message)

[atomic edge]

im sorry for being annoying but i just dont understand how to patch this set_base function to check if the card before and after has the same suit

[grim remnant]

how would i do that? just, replace that line with return { message = "Buffed!" }?

[red flower]

yes

[barren basin]

how do you change the order of which vanilla ranks are drawn into the hand

in steammodded

[stray warren]

It shows the next card in the deck in the description

[dreamy thunder]

^?

[red flower]

local setbaseref = Card.set_base
function Card:set_base(card, initial)
    local initial_suit = card:get_suit()
    setbaseref(self, card,initial)
    local final_suit = card:get_suit()
end

i think

[limpid halo]

anyone wanna hear the worst version of the combined balatro themes ever?

[stray warren]

Try setting the trigger to 'after' in the event? But it should work, not sure why it isn't

[dreamy thunder]

trigger is already after though

[stray warren]

sorry, meant 'before'

[dreamy thunder]

ah

trying it rn

nope

[wintry solar]

Play with the padding

[paper zealot]

If i understand right, it might be easier to hook the function instead of patching it.
https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[paper zealot]

Oh, like this, haha

[dreamy thunder]

might be because of the rest of the code but i dont know the issue to begin with

[atomic edge]

hahah thanks either way ill surely watch the video because i know nothing about that

[stray warren]

can you send a screenshot of the new code?

[dreamy thunder]

i tried putting it next to context.cardarea as well

[stray warren]

G.play isn't a valid context for context.before

just remove that part

[dreamy thunder]

ah

aight

[stray warren]

wait, it seems like it is

[dreamy thunder]

it works now

[dreamy thunder]

though

[dreamy thunder]

i mean i went on lookin at this too but it worked after removing G.play

thanks

[past forge]

is there a smods function to open a shop?

[stray warren]

I think just specifying context.before by itself will make it trigger more times in other situations, so just be aware of that

[dreamy thunder]

ik its fine if its triggered by any other thing but itself

[orchid thunder]

Oh

[chrome widget]

Is there a reasonably vanilla way to easily know the chips result of the hand? I'm trying to do a joker that scales if the first hand doesn't immediately win the blind, but he only point I can find (without adding a new context in SMODS ofc) is by adding another event to the queue that will eventually follow when the game eases the player's total chips to the correct number. But I'm not seeing if there's any context that just straight up passes in the hand_chips*mult number that it eventually eases to

[wintry solar]

just calculate it manually

[orchid thunder]

can i have negitive pading

padding*

[wintry solar]

yes

iirc it's a bit wonky but it does work

[atomic edge]

i did that and it says card is a nil value

[orchid thunder]

can i do padding in just 1 derection?

direction*

[wintry solar]

I don't believe so

[orchid thunder]

damn

its shifting up

[wintry solar]

you can add a spacer above it to shift it back down if needed

[orchid thunder]

fair

[bleak bone]

is there a way to affect cards not in hand?

if so i wanna see a spectral card that deletes your entire deck except for one random card and makes 51 copies of it

[unkempt thicket]

How can I add/remove an amount from the total payout? (at blinds end)

[past forge]

shouldnt this open a shop when s blind is skipped? it doesnt work and I cant find any work around

[wintry solar]

no

[red flower]

i think it should be self not card sorry

[wintry solar]

opening a shop is a lot more involved than that

[nova finch]

how would I do Xchips? I heard there was support for it in steammodded

[past forge]

should it be with a hook or a patch, or can it be done within the joker calculate?

[wintry solar]

a patch 100%

[wintry solar]

return xchips = ...

[nova finch]

ok

thanks

[atomic edge]

oh i changed it but now it says the method get_suit is a nil value

[red flower]

that might be wrong then, I just copied what a comment earlier said but i can't look up what the correct method is rn

[atomic edge]

oh okay thanks either way for your time

[manic rune]

oh, its not xchip?

[wintry solar]

'x_chips', 'xchips', 'Xchip_mod',
these are the valid keys

[manic rune]

got it

[past forge]

where is the code when a round is ended and you go to the shop? cant find it

the closest thing that i found is update_shop in game.lua

[normal crest]

in game.lua

look for the line G.CONTROLLER:snap_to({node = G.shop:get_UIE_by_ID('next_round_button')})

[atomic edge]

does anyone else please know how i could change the set_base function so i can check if the suit of the card is the same after the change?

[past forge]

okay thanks

[stray wing]

How is the order of cards in the deck randomised? Or more specifically, what does it depend on other than the seed? Is it determined by the number of cards played and/or discarded previously during the run?

[past forge]

so thats the end of the shop, im more looking at the beggining

when you press "cash out" how does it open the shop?

[atomic edge]

sendDebugMessage("This is a debug message", "MyDebugLogger") what can i change here to make is display a variable value?

[chrome widget]

Ended up just patching the after context to pass the number I needed since the game already calculates it anyway

[faint plank]

i cant seem to figure out why this isnt working, even when i take out the name check it still does nothing

                context.other_card.config.center.key ~= self.key and 
                string.sub(context.other_card.ability.name, -2) == "er" then
            return {
                message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                message_card = card,
            }
        end
end,

[left sonnet]

Hey folks, looked around and couldn't figure out a solution based on existing problems.

The line in question - callback(context.blueprint_card or self, ret, context.retrigger_joker)

[past forge]

im going to take a different approach, anyone knows a mod that opens a shop when its not usually open?

[grim remnant]

is there a way to make it so a line of loc_txt only appears if a config setting is enabled?

[prisma loom]

So I want my consumable card to enhance a card into a custom enhancement, is this correct?

[left sonnet]

Try it out man

[prisma loom]

crash

[left sonnet]

Rip

[chrome widget]

Average day of programming tbh

[violet void]

Is this too strong even for a legendary?

[left sonnet]

By base Balatro legendary standards, yes I'd say

Well

[chrome widget]

It seems like a cool idea, and probably not too strong since it's only a single hand per boss blind. Personally though, I probably would've just had it select from a randomly drawn hand of regular hand size, consistent with how most of the other "select x cards from hand" things in the game work (like opening Tarot/Spectral packs)

That'd inevitably make it weaker though

[graceful magnet]

does context.other_card have something for checking if the card has a seal?

or just like is there a way I can check if a card has any seal

[red flower]

this

[past forge]

card:get_seal()

[weak gate]

what are the names of the card areas, or where do I find that in the vanilla code? (or does smods change that?)

[past forge]

wow how did you referenced that message that quick

[red flower]

i remembered it

[chrome widget]

it's the same in vanilla code, you check for card area by doing context.cardarea == [area]

G.jokers, G.play, G.consumables, and G.hand are the primary ones

there are others for contextual actions (G.pack_cards, G.shop_jokers, etc)

[weak gate]

right, I'm looking at the shop ones, yes

[chrome widget]

What are you looking to do?

[weak gate]

a thief joker that makes some of the cards free, but preferably not the voucher, and... not the packs, maybe

[violet void]

Probably, but I think right now its similar to Chicot in a way that lets you win the boss blind easily

[chrome prawn]

trying to make a spectral card that has a 50% chance to either destroy a card or turn it into an edition but the destroying part of the code isn't working for some reason

[chrome widget]

So bad news is that you may need to add a custom context for that via a lovely patch, but I've actually made a very similar joker if that would help

It discounts cards in the shop

[atomic edge]

is there a function that gets a cards suit because get_suit() seems like it doesnt exist

[chrome widget]

you do card:is_suit('Suit')

So doing is_suit('Diamonds') on a diamond card will return true

[atomic edge]

oh my god

thank you so much

[graceful magnet]

is there something like that for seals too? now I need a specific check for purple seals

[violet void]

card.seal == "Purple" afaik

[graceful magnet]

k, should be good

[atomic edge]

how do i write the debug message to show the value of a local variable for example?

[chrome widget]

@weak gate You'e using SMODS, correct?

[weak gate]

yep

I did do a lovely patch already and it's successfully doing discounts in some cases; actually was stuck on deciding when the joker should say "Yoink!"

[chrome widget]

I basically just have my joker activate its effect right after tags are applied to the shop (Rare, Uncommon, Foil, Holographic, Polychrome, and Coupon tags)

I.E. basically do "Yoink!" at about the time that this joker says "Discounted!", roughly 48 secs in?

[weak gate]

Yes; it shouldn't say it if the 1 in X roll failed for all cards and the joker didn't manage to set any card's price to 0

[chrome widget]

mhm mhm

[weak gate]

although I'm interested in how you detected that you entered the shop; or is it that you're detecting when a card's price was set?
there's a context for shop rerolls (context.reroll_shop), so my card works in rerolls, but not on the first shop screen

[chrome widget]

I basially just have a "start_shop" context (constrasting the "ending_shop" context perkeo uses in vanilla) right here in game.lua after the shop sets all its cards, and then the card just evaluates here when it sets the cost of every card in the game to some amount, which it resets on leave

That said this one literally just reuses the inflation mechanic from the challenge, because that's built into the set_cost() function

You can do it far more directly though

[weak gate]

Hmm, where's the code in the first screenshot? Inside a function that gets called inside a lovely patch?

[vague pendant]

is there a way to retrigger Joker effects?

[chrome widget]

It's inside Game:update_shop(dt), in the vanilla game's game.lua file

I inserted the SMODS context function at around line 3228

[wooden nexus]

oh look, a zodiac card

[sturdy compass]

Erm actualy it’s a Horoscope card 🤓☝️

Jokes aside we called them that cuz there’s already so many zodiac card mods

[weak gate]

Hmm, and is there a start_shop = false somewhere else in code...? I don't suppose you'd like to show your source?

[past forge]

kinda clunky but i think is the best that i can do, any tip on how to improve it?

[chrome widget]

No, due the way lua works, it's literally just appending a new property to the context table, so this isn't in comparison to any vanilla code or anything

[prisma loom]

Did I miss something? This enhancement is supposed to make it so the scored card would gain +0.5xMult when scored but it doesnt for some reason

[past forge]

btw, no need of any patch, maybe a atch could do it better but i managed to get it like this

[chrome widget]

This is the lovely patch I used for it (I don't think it's against the rules to share files?

[past forge]

its not against the rules, dw

[pulsar flower]

is there a way to append extra information to the description of a card with a custom enhancement? i've managed to do it to base and the vanilla enhancements, but my custom ones don't display it

[atomic edge]

how do i write the debug message to show the value of a local variable for example?

[chrome widget]

To the description, rather than as an info box?

[pulsar flower]

yes, specifically something like hiker extra chips, where the info may not be present

[chrome widget]

If you're using debugPlus, sendDebugMessage('variable: '..[var_name])

[weak gate]

Ahhh, your first screenshot was a lua dump that lovely made, I think? I was confused as to how it was formatted and syntax-colored like a normal lua file

[atomic edge]

thanks

[unkempt thicket]

How can I add/remove an amount from the total payout? (at blinds end)

[chrome widget]

Yeye it was, but in fairness both the lovely dump and the source code reference I use look the same formatting wise

I.E. this is the equivalent space in the vanilla code, obviously sans the context check

[grim remnant]

how can i specify a custom hex color for text in descriptions? :o

[vague pendant]

Is there an easy way to retrigger a joker's effect? something like returning "repetitions = 1"

[chrome widget]

You'd do something like this in the card's loc_vars function, and then in the actual localization string, you specify the color from that "colours" property passed in with {V:1}, the number depending on the index in the table

[grim remnant]

for context, i'm just trying to make "Stellated" here be a solid #CE001F

    key = 'chuTeng',
    set = 'Spectral',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Chu-Teng',
        text = {
            "Summons one {C:CE001F}Stellated{} joker",
            "{C:inactive}(must have room)"
        }
    }
}```

(obviously this isn't done yet, i haven't even added functionality, but shhhh)

[chrome widget]

    key = 'chuTeng',
    set = 'Spectral',
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { colours = {HEX('CE001F')}} }
    end
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Chu-Teng',
        text = {
            "Summons one {V:1}Stellated{} joker",
            "{C:inactive}(must have room)"
        }
    }
}```

[minor furnace]

why are none of the Enhancement Tarot card use effects like Magician and Chariot in the Card:use_consumable function of card.lua, and where are they?

[grim remnant]

also, does anyone know how to add a legendary card-esque layer to a consumable?

[vague pendant]

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = 'chuTeng',
    set = 'Spectral',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Chu-Teng',
        text = {
            "Summons one {V:1}Stellated{} joker",
            "{C:inactive}(must have room)"
        }
    }
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                colours = {
                    HEX('CE001F')
                }
            }
        }
    }
end

Im definitely off on braces and tabbing

[grim remnant]

it's a coder's favorite game show: WHERE'S! THAT! BRACKET!

oh. wait, it was comma

wait no it's mad still?

[atomic edge]

where do playing cards keep their suit stored? i mean in which variable

[unkempt thicket]

card.base.suit

[atomic edge]

because when i use is_suit() to check wether it is a certain suit it says attempting to access field base a nil value

yea makes sense

but why does it say its nil

i mean you cant answer without code i know

[marble flint]

3 commas in fact

one after loc_txt, one after loc_vars, one after pos

[atomic edge]

this is the code its in the set_base method in card.lua and the print(is_suit) is throwing the error

it says base is a nil value

it happens during initialization of the game if that is any help

should i maybe put an if so it doesnt do that line if it is nil?

nvm got it

[left lance]

what's the game setting for joker slots? essentially, I know it should be G.GAME.fillinhere but unsure what the variable is

[wintry solar]

yeah look how jank it is though

[hushed briar]

would it be possible to get the calculate function of a vanilla joker? so that i can essentially hook it when taking ownership

[left lance]

could you not just pull that from the source code, or from steammodded/examples if the joker you want is there?

[hushed briar]

well i would like to do it this way so it can account for any other mods that mightve like lovely patched it or something like that

i mean like, can i access a vanilla joker's calculate function from within the code itself, like you would when hooking a function

[spring lantern]

is there anywhere i can check for the available ui colors?

[past forge]

in globals.lua

[spring lantern]

oh fire

[past forge]

just check for "colours"

[atomic edge]

someone already answered but it doesnt seem to work, how can i check whether i have a certain joker/consumable

so if i have the joker do something

[past forge]

(SMODS.find_card("j_[mod_id]_[joker_id]")

[atomic edge]

and that returns true or false?

[past forge]

that is going to be either true if you have the joker or false if you dont

[atomic edge]

oh okay thanks

and if its a consumeable its c_?

right

[past forge]

i guess so

[atomic edge]

okay thanks

[past forge]

ive never worked with consumables, but thats the prefix for them

[atomic edge]

works like a charm thank you so much

[vague pendant]

it returns a table of the cards, which registers as "not false" to boolean operations

[red flower]

you need to do next(SMODS.find_card("j_[mod_id]_[joker_id]")

[atomic edge]

oh so basically the other one will always be true pretty much

[red flower]

yes

[atomic edge]

ohh okay thanks

[spring lantern]

okay so i'm working on my first attempt at a booster pack and i'm a bit overwhelmed. if i want the pack to give specifically rare and legendary jokers, how do i declare the pool that the booster pulls from? or like how do boosters work in general LOL

i'm a bit lost

[violet void]

whats your current code

[past forge]

whats the difference?

[spring lantern]

haven't really done anything other than fill in some variables

[unkempt thicket]

How do I change the max playable cards to 6 with better calc?

[red flower]

find_card returns a table of all the cards or {} if none

in lua {} is truthy so it doesn't work to check if there's any. next() gives you the next value or nil if none

[past forge]

oh okay

so next is kust better

[violet void]

in create_card you need to pass SMODS.create_card, where you specify the set and all that stuff

        return SMODS.create_card({ ... })
    end,```

[spring lantern]

oh alright

found it in the wiki, seems much more manageable than i thought

[violet void]

If you need a chance-based card creation, you can do something like this

```create_card = function(self, card, i)
    return cs_utils.random_alignment(true, false)
end,```

    local card_type = pseudorandom(pseudoseed('alignment'))

    if card_type > .98 and architectable then
        return SMODS.create_card({
            set = 'Alignment',
            key = 'ali_cs_architect',
            no_edition = true
        })
    elseif card_type > .95 and chameleonable then
        return SMODS.create_card({
            set = 'Alignment',
            key = 'ali_cs_chameleon',
            no_edition = true
        })
    else
        return SMODS.create_card({
            set = 'Alignment',
            no_edition = true
        })
    end
end```

[fossil grotto]

does the wiki have a modding guide?
I'm trying to mess around with the drop rates of vouchers, tags, jokers etc and i have no idea what im doing

[past forge]

i mean the wiki is a modding guide

so the answer is yes

[fossil grotto]

may i have a link?

[past forge]

of course

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

[fossil grotto]

thank you

[past forge]

np, any doubt just ask it

[fossil grotto]

oh im sure theyl be plenty xd

[left lance]

speaking of the wiki, I can't find examples of adjustable joker slots... I'm trying to make a card that makes it -1 joker slot when held in hand. The Balatro source code has a joker_slot option but it looks only used in starting configurations, never mid-round from what I see

[fossil grotto]

what im trying to do is manually lowering the chances of all the content from a particular mod from apearing ( cryptid ). like do you have any idea where should start?

[past forge]

honestly no idea

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/adfef9c5d9c9724048009e126578b2b7330b0788/togastuff.lua#L1803 ?

[past forge]

im also kind of new

[left lance]

I think if you look at the SMODS.rarity documentation/examples on the wiki? You could make a custom rarity and make all modded jokers that rarity?

[fossil grotto]

thank you! and what about other content?

oh im looking at the documentation it works for any object (I think?)

thanks

[atomic edge]

is there a way to find the key of a card for example c_[modid]_[jokername] because i cant seem to write the right one and im not even sure where i put what it should be

[spring lantern]

is there a way i could guarantee a booster pack spawning for testing purposes?

[past forge]

i just keep winning blinds until it appears

lmao

[atomic edge]

you can spawn it using the debug console i think

[spring lantern]

i'm trying that and it's not working

guess i'll set the weight to like 300

[atomic edge]

are you using debug plus

[spring lantern]

wait i forgot i have like a super barebones debug

[atomic edge]

use that mod it makes life a 1000 times easier

but im not sure if it can spawn boosters i never tried it but it does everything so safe to assume it can

[spring lantern]

oh hey it workjed

thankls

[atomic edge]

np

[spring lantern]

errrm

it works but the group name is not

[past forge]

Im trying to do this patch but it doesnt seem to work, the dump file for game.lua doesnt change

[spring lantern]

is this how to do the thing

[past forge]

i guess its because the loc_text?

[red flower]

print or sendDebugMessage card.config.center.key

[atomic edge]

thank you

so much

[red flower]

edited

[spring lantern]

has to be but no clue how to do it right

[past forge]

i think thats the name and the desc that appears in the shop

no clue how to get the one inside the pack tho

is that the group_name?

[spring lantern]

i thought that was it

the wiki says so

[past forge]

im just freestyling, never worked with packs

the link sends you to the line

dont scroll when you enter, wait for it to load

[left lance]

ah, im just illiterate thanks

[past forge]

or go to the line 1803

[atomic edge]

i did that and the thing you said before as to find a card

and its not working

can it find cards that are in a seperate area than the regular ones

because my mod has it in a new area

[dreamy thunder]

try group key also? i had a pack working with loc_txt before but i switched to localization before releasing it so i dont really remember

[spring lantern]

i set the group key to this just to have something lol

[graceful magnet]

I assume SMODS.add_card{set = card.ability.extra.usedConsumes, key_append = 'spellbook'} is incorrect, what do I want to do to call a card saved in that list?

[atomic edge]

oh im looking at the code and it doesnt

nvm ill change it

thanks

[dreamy thunder]

i mean i think you should use a localization file too yk

[spring lantern]

iunno i've never done localization so idk how it goes

[dreamy thunder]

it aint that hard

jst takes some time

[red flower]

if you're saving a key then this should work

SMODS.add_card{
key = pseudorandom_element(card.ability.extra.usedConsumes, pseudoseed("spellbook"))
}

although you might want to check if the pswudorandom key exists first

[graceful magnet]

Perkeo2 uses pseudoseed instead of pseudokey so that might work

[red flower]

yes that

[graceful magnet]

nnnnope, I get the same error

[red flower]

are you checking if card.ability.extra.usedConsumes has anything first?

[spring lantern]

so where's boosters

[graceful magnet]

added if **card.ability.extra.usedConsumes[1]** and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then

which stopped the crash

the card doesn't do anything though

[red flower]

oh it should be config.center.key instead of just key when you add

[graceful magnet]

really? A previous card I made that creates specifically Cryptid used just key

[red flower]

other i think

[hushed field]

boosters go in other, yeah

[graceful magnet]

assuming like?

[grim remnant]

how do i make a card that gives a random joker card of a given rarity, a-la soul? unsurprisingly my first try, uh, didn't go well. (i'm yet to add the check for if you have room but i want the actual "give a random card" part working first)

[red flower]

I mean when you add it to the usedConsumes

[graceful magnet]

ohh

[red flower]

use the SMODS one

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

[grim remnant]

where do i put that in, do i replace the event manager thingamabob?

[red flower]

replace create_card or you can use SMODS.add_card (same parameters) and replace the next 2 lines after create_card too

[past forge]

bump

[grim remnant]

the whole line, or do i keep "local"?

[red flower]

it's add_card im too sleepy to be answering questions

[red flower]

the whole line

if using add_card

[unkempt thicket]

How can I add/remove an amount from the total payout? (at blinds end)

[dreamy thunder]

mine is in misc,dictionary

[grim remnant]

for add_card, how do i force it to be of a custom rarity? i want it to generate only jokers with stla_Stellated

[spring lantern]

aghh it still shows up as error

[dreamy thunder]

how did you do it?

[spring lantern]

im assuming i need to add the prefix

it was giving me an error without the p_

[dreamy thunder]

it should be the same as your group key

[spring lantern]

huh

[spring lantern]

okay it works thx!!

[dreamy thunder]

no worries

[red flower]

I think writing that key might just work?

[dreamy thunder]

SMODS.add_card({rarity = 'stla_Stellated'}) iirc?

[atomic edge]

what command can i use to create a specific card from its id

[grim remnant]

still a crash here

[dreamy thunder]

"Joker" for set

[red flower]

you forgot a comma before use

[dreamy thunder]

you're still missing ""

i think

[frosty dock]

also wrong brackets, you need {} not ()

and missing SMODS.

[dreamy thunder]

oh yeah

i didnt even pay attention to that 😭

[spring lantern]

anyone know what the weight value of spectral packs is?

[frosty dock]

0.3 for both normals and the jumbo, 0.07 for mega

[grim remnant]

okay, game boots, but i uh. i apparently need to actually give a use condition. ;P

[dreamy thunder]

     if #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit or self.area == G.jokers then
         return true
            end
       end,```

ae

nvm i give up editing

[chrome widget]

Okay, what does context.poker_hands actually contain? I was under the impression each hand table inside it contained the respective cards for each hand it represents

[grim remnant]

works now!

[dreamy thunder]

nice

[sturdy compass]

Hey I'm running into this error when clicking on a card in my custom Booster pack. I think it has to do with my method of forcing the button types via this patch, but not exactly sure what needs to change

[fluid pecan]

sorry to go over you astra

why does it work like this

[sturdy compass]

no worries, it happens lol

[fluid pecan]

but not when i change it to xmult =

even tho the docs list it as a valid return

[fluid pecan]

ur problem too complex for me 😭 im still struggling with the basics

[atomic edge]

is there a way i can change the colors of the text on a card based on conditions

[limpid halo]

Heya, Anyone here who would be willing to look trough my code to see if i'm doing weird/incompatible shit?

[dreamy thunder]

x_mult?

[minor furnace]

So, I have a custom tarot card that successfully creates two base game enhancements, but the moment I change it to my custom enhancement, the game crashes. I assume the issue is somewhere in my SMODS.Enhancement?

SMODS.Enhancement{
    key = "m_loaded",
    name="Loaded Card",
    atlas = "New_Enhance",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 5},
    loc_txt={
        "{C:green}#1# in #3#{} chance",
        "to win {C:money}$#2#{}",
        "{C:green}#1# in #5#{} chance",
        "for {C:mult}+#4# Mult",
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            base_prob = "1",
            p_dollars = "6",
            money_prob = "5",
            mult = "60",
            mult_prob = "15"
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {
                center.ability.extra.base_prob,
                center.ability.extra.p_dollars,
                center.ability.extra.money_prob,
                center.ability.extra.mult,
                center.ability.extra.mult_prob
            }
        }
    end
}

This is the line in question that gives the enhancement:
G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability("m_loaded");

[dreamy thunder]

Whats the crazh

Crash

[minor furnace]

let me bring the log up real quick

[dreamy thunder]

You should include your mod's prefix btw

[minor furnace]

where should the mod prefix be included?

[maiden phoenix]

Does your booster have a kind value?

[stray warren]

also smods adds the m_ before your key, so you don't have to do that

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[dreamy thunder]

m_prefix_enhancement

I think

[dreamy thunder]

^

[minor furnace]

and that's in every reference to the enhancement, including the key?

[maiden phoenix]

Oh you might actually need the func for it, I never gave it to you

[past forge]

context.hand_drawn is the moment when you draw cards or the cards that you draw?

[sturdy compass]

Oh I see

that's crazy 😭 , ty

why the docs incorrect

cuz its the new version?

ill reformulate, how do i check the cards that ive drawn?

I want 1 in 2 cards to be drawn face down

[limpid halo]

main branch

[dreamy thunder]

Whats the code like rn

Im on mobile so i cant really help tht much

[past forge]

right now is just flipping the last card that you draw, since context.hand_drawn trigger after drawing the hand

[minor furnace]

The enhancement looks like this now

    key = "m_reverse_tarot_loaded",
    name="Loaded Card",
    atlas = "New_Enhance",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 5},
    loc_txt={
        "{C:green}#1# in #3#{} chance",
        "to win {C:money}$#2#{}",
        "{C:green}#1# in #5#{} chance",
        "for {C:mult}+#4# Mult",
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            base_prob = "1",
            p_dollars = "6",
            money_prob = "5",
            mult = "60",
            mult_prob = "15"
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {
                center.ability.extra.base_prob,
                center.ability.extra.p_dollars,
                center.ability.extra.money_prob,
                center.ability.extra.mult,
                center.ability.extra.mult_prob
            }
        }
    end
}

and the line applying the enhancement is
G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability("m_reverse_tarot_loaded");

[maiden phoenix]

Iterate over G.hand.cards instead of context.hand_drawn

for the loop

[stray warren]

What is the prefix for your mod?

The key on line 2 should just be the enhancement name, not the m_ or the prefix

[minor furnace]

I'm silly

I forgot I made the prefix different from the name of the mod pack in the config

it's just "reverse"

[stray warren]

well still, the key for the enhancement should just be loaded on that line

[unkempt thicket]

How can I add/remove an amount from the total payout? (at blinds end)

[minor furnace]

OH

well then

[past forge]

now its just flipping the leftmost card of my hand

[fluid pecan]

something that doesn't seem to be covered in the docs is how to get the joker activation wiggle when you apply the message to another card 😅 is there any way to do that

[minor furnace]

Thanks! Your suggestions seemed to fix all of the crashes

[maiden phoenix]

Oh yea because you're returning something the first iteration

[atomic edge]

how does the {V:1} color modifier work ?

[maiden phoenix]

Replace the return by a card_eval_status_text function

[past forge]

yeah, but it keeps iterating on my whole hand instead of the cards that ive drawn

[maiden phoenix]

Oooooh

I thought this was a first hand draw thing

[fluid pecan]

not fully sure so someone correct me if i'm wrong

at the end of ur vars as your last variable: add "colours =" and then what the color V:1 should be. i haven't diven far into it but this is a surface guess that might get you furhter

[atomic edge]

thanks

and follow up question

is there a lua command that can let me do an if function when declaring a variable i know other programming languages use ?

the question mark

[maiden phoenix]

Try replacing context.hand_drawn by SMODS.drawn_cards ?

oops typo

[fluid pecan]

no clue i've not looked into lua at all i just read code from jokers and interpret everything i need to know from that to write my own 😅

[maiden phoenix]

You mean a ternary operator?

[past forge]

and still use G.hand.cards?

[maiden phoenix]

No replace G.hand.cards by SMODS.drawn_cards

Should have replied off this one sorry

[atomic edge]

yea exactly

[maiden phoenix]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5525817/inline-conditions-in-lua-a-b-yes-no this might help

[atomic edge]

thanks!

[manic rune]

:juice_up()

[past forge]

yeah that was it

thanks :D

one doubt

whats the difference between context.joker_main and joker.individual?

[wintry solar]

context.hand_drawn and SMODS.drawn_cards are exaxtly the same

[fluid pecan]

could you give a little more info on how this should be implemented. do i just add this in the return statement? and if so, which variable?

[past forge]

card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)

or self instead of card, it depends on the context

[maiden phoenix]

The first didn't work for them apparently

[manic rune]

you don't use it in return, since it's actually a function used in balatro

a:juice_up(b,c)

a being the card you want to shake, b and c being stuff to modify the shake

[fluid pecan]

oh so just put it inside the if statement and thats it

[manic rune]

mhm

[fluid pecan]

oh now that i know the name i did find it

but its quite hidden

thank you!

[fluid pecan]

LMAO

I DONT THINK

uhm

that was right

it made a full 360

oh

wait

mbmb

i used a comma instead of a point

:D

dutch troubles

[limpid halo]

soms heb je dat

[hushed field]

klassieke fout

[limpid halo]

doesn't the base game use 0.3 btw?

(i dont have source available on this device sooo can't double check)

[fluid pecan]

idd idd

[atomic edge]

why does it say that this is a number value? shouldnt it be a colour

[limpid halo]

hmm do i sprite up (badly) 2 jokers or work on coding the 8th joker

[fluid pecan]

still it only activates once when you play the hand not per card that activates the effect 😅

[past forge]

lol

[novel drum]

i'm making a joker that converts scored cards to enhanced cards, but after running the code in context.before, the seals and enhancements don't get counted in scoring. anyone know how to recalculate enhancements after context.before?

[manic rune]

so like, it shakes the entire hand once instead of shaking each individual card?

[stray warren]

The color is represented as a number

[past forge]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.hand_drawn then

            for i = 1, #SMODS.drawn_cards do
                if pseudorandom(pseudoseed('braille')) < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    if SMODS.drawn_cards[i].facing ~= 'back' then
                        SMODS.drawn_cards[i]:flip()
                    end
                end
            end
            return {
                    message = ('FLIPPED!'),
                    colour = G.C.RED,
                    card = SMODS.drawn_cards[i]
            }
        end

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
                if context.scoring_hand[i].facing == 'back' then
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                end
            end
        end
    end

[fluid pecan]

no so like, the joker applies +4 mult per card i'm just trying to recreate the walkie talkie, but when you play the hand it shakes once and then it just applies the effects without shaking

[manic rune]

i see

[limpid halo]

how are you calling the shake

[manic rune]

probably need G.EVENTS and and add event stuff in this case

[past forge]

I know that the context.individual is not working because when you play a card, it turns face up, but how could i do it so previously faced back cards give the xmult?

[fluid pecan]

card:juice_up(0.5,0.5) inside of the same if statement that applies the +4 mult for every card

[limpid halo]

card in this case is probably your joker...

[limpid halo]

i had to do this for my Overflow joker so feel free to take a peek at this
https://github.com/BeepSterr/Balataro-BargainBin/blob/master/Items/Jokers/Overflow.lua

[fluid pecan]

yeah u use the G.E_manager to activate it for every card, i think that might be related to it

[limpid halo]

yeah you gotta call it for context.other_card like context.other_card:juice_up() and put it in a G.E_MANAGER:add_event so they dont all play at the same time

[fluid pecan]

nah i want to shake the joker, not the other card

[limpid halo]

oh sorry, mb

[fluid pecan]

but

it does make sense

what ur saying

ill give it a shot

[limpid halo]

if u looked at the code that i shared it'll make it look like this #💻・modding-dev message

[fluid pecan]

hmm i see

nice

this shit too advanced for me alr bro i have no clue what i'm doing anymore 💀

nah what am i saying

i got this

[limpid halo]

dont ever give up just yell at code till code do good

[hushed briar]

where does the game handle the visual effect where cards appear to move in 3d space, like how if your mouse is on the top of the card the bottom of it will appear closer to you

[fluid pecan]

there has to be an easier way like

every joker has this effect

i thought it was implemented in base game

automatically

i must be missing something

[limpid halo]

Look trough the source for similar cards

[fluid pecan]

lol i'll see

[limpid halo]

The events are honestly a pretty easy way to make it all run in order and pretty

[past forge]

the print comes up, but the card doesnt give the xmult

[fluid pecan]

apparently its x_mult

i had the same issue

[past forge]

lol

thanks

[fluid pecan]

i read the code, replicated it, and it doesnt work :D

[limpid halo]

Oof unfortunate, is it crashing?

[fluid pecan]

nope

it just

doesn't do the activation thingy

the little

wobble

[past forge]

it wasnt that, still not working

[limpid halo]

Do you have… reduced motion on?

[fluid pecan]

nope hahahaha

[limpid halo]

I don’t see a return statement, could that be it?

[fluid pecan]

i have a lead tho

the baseball card does have it added

maybe

if i look at that code

OMG

IT WORKED

just addd

``

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
                        return true
                    end
                })) 

and then it does work

[limpid halo]

yup

[fluid pecan]

so weird

but hey

im not complainig

[past forge]

still not working

[limpid halo]

Ur trying to get x-mult to activate right

[past forge]

strange, since the print does work

[past forge]

yes

[limpid halo]

If so you need to do x_mult = {whatever var u used} in the return statement

[past forge]

wouldnt the return break the loop?

wait

do i need the loop since im using context.individual?

[limpid halo]

Oh yeah correct you need to apply it differently

If ur using individual then no you shouldn’t need a loop

I haven’t used individual thought so idk

Look at baron or smth I guess

[fluid pecan]

still it activates when the card is being played instead of when the effect is applied 😭 but its better than nothing i guess

[graceful magnet]

I am an arbiter of fair and balanced gameplay

[foggy carbon]

oh god lol

[wintry solar]

individual doesn't need a loop

[unkempt thicket]

How can I add/remove an amount from the total payout? (at blinds end)

[gilded narwhal]

hey guys does context.setting_blind happen before or after the boss blind like the water or the needle activate its effect

[wintry solar]

I believe it's after

[gilded narwhal]

damn

that's inconvenient

[fluid pecan]

Yup i'm not using it, but the joker is just rotating when the chips of the cards are being scored (so when jt starts scoring the card) instead of when it scores the mult

Which is what is coming from the joker

[wintry solar]

hmmm?

[obtuse silo]

redid my code after a brainwave to simplify things
doesn't even work

[fluid pecan]

So instead of it acting like bloodstone (just to paint an example) it does the wiggle when the chips are bing scored instead of when it activates the mult after the chips

[obtuse silo]

NO WAIT
I FORGOT TO USE INSERT >_<

[wintry solar]

@fluid pecan I don't know anything about your card

[obtuse silo]

i'mma gon work on it myself

[minor furnace]

is there a keyboard shortcut in the debug mod to reboot the game?
found it, it's hold M

[hushed briar]

out of curiosity does anyone know how to make a child node of a card have a different size than its parent (for example card.children.front)

[fresh dune]

I've been trying to make my first custom joker, and ive been looking at tutorials/ reading guides, as well as fiddling with the joker's code, for a couple hours now and im quite stumped.

I have the card art and the modded joker showing up in game just fine, it's just actually giving it an effect/ coding it properly.

Could i ask someone for a bit of help/ guidance? especially because i dont think that the joker im trying to make is that complex. figured i should ask for help instead of struggling alone for 2 more hours lol.

[obtuse silo]

alr screw this
it's calling the insert method a field

[normal crest]

If you're able to send your jokers calculate function we can point to the issue

UI Error when attempting to add custom Enhancement description to the info_queue, and when applied to card 🙃
in the SMODS.Consumable before the return:

[fresh dune]

you know, i deleted it like an hour ago because im pretty sure what i had was completely wrong, so i decided to start over. So i don't have much right now. I wasnt really sure what calculate function to use/ where to put things.

this is what i have currently

which is not much lol

[normal crest]

loc_txt is meant to have a name field, which is just a string, and a text field, which is an array of strings

[minor furnace]

hmmm

[normal crest]

only name and text should be inside loc_txt

[normal crest]

As for what a calculate function might look like, the simplest one would be

if context.joker_main then
   return { mult = 4 }
end

Which would give 4 mult after a hand is scored

[minor furnace]

ah shoot I put name in the wrong spot thanks

we are so back

[fresh dune]

alright, and i did find this which would be what im looking for- an end of round effect.

so this would be my if statement, using G.hand and listing all four types of jacks, and then my return would be something like money = 5 ?

[desert ore]

I'm trying to make a joker that gives -1 joker slot, which means I need to have functionality that makes it so a joker can't be purchased or duplicated when at situations like 4/5 cards, any mods that have an example of a joker with -joker slot or a function where it can't be purchased in certain scenarios?

[normal crest]

you will have to count the amount of jacks in G.hand, and then return { dollars = 5 * amount_of_jacks }

[desert ore]

I really don't want to have to compromise for removing it from the pool

[fresh dune]

gotcha, okay thank you for the guidance

[normal crest]

removing it from the pool wouldn't be a solution, since you could be at 3/5, reroll to get it, and buy two jokers

[desert ore]

that's true

[modern kindle]

doesnt removing it from the pool stop it from appearing in the shop at all?

[desert ore]

he's saying if there's 3 purchasable jokers from the shop

[modern kindle]

ah ic

[desert ore]

or even 2

[spark remnant]

is there a function that gets a cards suit, similar to get_id()

[red flower]

card.base.suit

[normal crest]

As for how to make it unable to buy, I presume you'll have to find the function responsible for making the use button ui and see if you can make a patch to disable the button

[normal crest]

card.base.suit like N said, but make sure to check if not SMODS.has_no_suit(card) beforehand

[desert ore]

I've been looking all over the base game code to find where it can't allow purchases at max joker limit, but I haven't thought to disable the button

[random sleet]

no wait that doesnt work cuz nil is stupid lol

yea just make sure to check SMODS.has_no_suit(card) (when checking suit) and SMODS.has_no_rank(card) (when checking rank)
hell i oughta go through all the ortalab boss blinds and report like 70% of them for not using the latter my stone card builds keep getting killed by shit that shouldnt affect them

[wintry solar]

hehe

it's on my list to fix

[graceful magnet]

this looks awful but it's probably not the worst looking piece of code I've written for my mod

cool got the mistakes I made fixed

[grim remnant]

how can i make an effect proc only if a joker is destroyed?

    key = 'searc',
    loc_txt = {

            "{X:dark_edition,C:white}^#2#{} Mult for every",

            "{C:inactive}Art by: rixithechao"
        }
    },
    config = { extra = { Emult = 1 , scaler = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra.Emult , center.ability.extra.scaler } }
    end,

    pos = { x = 8, y = 1 },
    soul_pos = { x = 9, y = 1 },
    cost = 34,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        --actually do the effect thing
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                Emult_mod = card.ability.extra.Emult,
                colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
                message = "^" .. tostring(card.ability.extra.Echips) .. " Mult"

Implementing a custom probability-based enhancement is harder than I anticipated

[graceful magnet]

it looks like the edition check is failing, if both have an edition, even the same one, it doesn't activate

[minor furnace]

Like, the easiest thing to do seems like it would just be to edit the vanilla Card:get_chip_mult() and Card:get_p_dollars() functions, because that's how Lucky Cards are handled. But that feels like it would create more issues than it would solve

[left lance]

You can make the joker change the number of joker slots

[red flower]

afaik editions are tables and can't be compared 1 to 1

[pulsar flower]

how would i give multiple enhancements to a card? i'm doing this but it doesn't seem like that context runs at all, despite the documentation?

[graceful magnet]

the code gets worse!!

[desert ore]

this doesn't prevent it from being purchased at 4/5 total jokers tho right? if purchased, wouldn't this just make you 5/4? I don't want that to happen

[grim remnant]

is it possible to check for if a joker has been destroyed, and then run a calculation accordingly? i want to make a joker that scales whenever a joker gets destroyed

[graceful magnet]

sigh

[red flower]

you need to hook G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space

[left lance]

Oh shoot I didn’t think of that thanks for helping me realize it’s an issue! A weird bandaid would be to add it to hand, and in the add to hand check check if joker slots are 5 and if so, remove/refund?

[desert ore]

I just was looking at this, I have not worked with hooking yet so idrk what I'm doing

[normal crest]

if a card doesn't have an edition, card.edition is nil, you need to account for that

[red flower]

smth like this

[desert ore]

ok so looks like I'm not too far off

[graceful magnet]

already done 🫡

[red flower]

that check should be first

[small moon]

How do I check if a modded joker exists in the jokers? I saw the next(SMODS.find_card("j_stencil")) already mentioned, but it doesn't seem to work for modded jokers

[graceful magnet]

well it works

[small moon]

Friend has a modded joker with key "wah_knife" and it's not picking it up. I saw somewhere that you have to add the prefix as well but we couldn't get that to work exactly either

[red flower]

oh sorry didn't see the edit

[red flower]

it's j_modprefix_jokerkey

[vale lake]

does anyone know how to add a linebreak in main_end or main_start?

[desert ore]

so this isn't inside the joker stuff info right, this has to be outside of it

[red flower]

yes

[desert ore]

ok ok, tysm

[pulsar flower]

oops, i didn't enable the optional feature

[small moon]

Tysm! That works

[minor furnace]

anybody know what file the pseudorandom() function is stored in off the top of their head?

[vale lake]

misc_functions

[minor furnace]

thanks 🙏

[grim remnant]

sorry to nag about this, does anyone know if there's a way to check if a joker has been destroyed?

[left lance]

could you clarify what 'outside' the joker means? Do you mean outside the SMODS.Joker {} object?

[red flower]

yes, anywhere in your code outside of that

[vale lake]

to my knowledge there isn't a way to check for this in the base game or API

[red flower]

hook into card:remove
thats what i do

[vale lake]

I just made a lovely patch for it

[red flower]

i do this for my mod

[grim remnant]

where would i put this in my code, out of curiosity? for reference, i want to make it so that, when a joker is destroyed, it resolves card.ability.extra.Emult = card.ability.extra.Emult + card.ability.extra.scaler.

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Serac',

            return {
                Emult_mod = card.ability.extra.Emult,
                colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION,
                message = "^" .. tostring(card.ability.extra.Echips) .. " Mult"
            }
        end
    end,
}```

[red flower]

you probably want something like anywhere outside of the SMODS.Joker and then in the calculate function you check for context.joker_destroyed

(i dont know if this covers all the cases)

[normal crest]

that will happen when a joker is sold too

[red flower]

oh yeah

[grim remnant]

that... would be a problem ;P

[normal crest]

you can add a and not G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card check

that's what I do anyway

[grim remnant]

so like, wait, i'm confused (if it isn't obvious my lua is rusty to heck), is this creating a new function, and the idea is that i could make it just say smth like

            return {
                --do stuff
            }
        end```
in the actual joker's script?

[desert ore]

I'm going to have to hook for edge cases with duplication with like invisible joker and stuff like ankh with eternals as well huh. Can someone also like define hook as well I don't really know what it means

is it taking something from the base game and changing it?

[normal crest]

hook is simply adding your own code to an existing function

[desert ore]

ok

[red flower]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[normal crest]

the limitations are that you can't add stuff in between lines

[red flower]

ye

[desert ore]

ok thank you guys so much

[grim remnant]

if i wanted to curb selling counting, would i add and not G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card like so?

local card_remove_ref = Card.remove
function Card:remove()
    if self.area and (self.area == G.jokers) and not G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card then
        SMODS.calculate_context({joker_destroyed = true , card_destroyed = self})
    end
    card_remove_ref(self)
end```

[normal crest]

even if the original function doesn't return anything, you should return card_remove_ref(self) just in case

and that looks good

[grim remnant]

well, that's annoying

[normal crest]

move the modifying of Emult before the return

[hollow marsh]

is there any reason why with malverk it isn't retexturing card backs? everything else works from the enhancers texture

[grim remnant]

silly question, how do i add a custom sound effect?

[normal crest]

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

[small moon]

Is there any way to get the mod folder from within the mod? Like if I make a mod with code to get the mod folder in the folder "foo" I'd get (in my case) C:\Users\USER\AppData\Balatro\Mods\foo

I saw "mod.path" in the smods code but mod isn't a global variable

[normal crest]

SMODS.current_mod.path

Or if you're doing it in a function that's not in the loading stage

SMODS.Mods[your mod id].path I think

[small moon]

Tysm!

[grim remnant]

so, wait, how do i call the sound exactly? do i clarify it and then call its key later? :o

[normal crest]

play_sound('prefix_key') would be my assumption

where prefix is your mod prefix and key is the key you have to the sound

[faint yacht]

Define the key and then you can call the sound by specifying modprefix_keyname as string.
SMODS.Sound({key = "win95start", path = "win95start.ogg"}) + toga (my prefix) = toga_win95start

[grim remnant]

when i specify the path do i need to include the /assets/sounds/ part or is that automatic?

[faint yacht]

Automatic.

[grim remnant]

for whatever reason it's still not playing? no idea why?

  &   SOUNDS   &
  &&&&&&&&&&&&]]
SMODS.Sound { --serac buff sound
    key = "seracBuff",
    path = "serac_buff.ogg"
}

        --check if a joker died
        if context.joker_destroyed then
            card.ability.extra.Emult = card.ability.extra.Emult + card.ability.extra.scaler
            play_sound(stla_seracBuff)
            return { message = "Demo!" }
        end```

[normal crest]

play_sound takes a string

[faint yacht]

You can do this too.

return { message = "Demo!", sound = "seracBuff" }

[normal crest]

With the mod prefix, no?

[grim remnant]

does this answer that question

[normal crest]

yes it does

so it needs the mod prefix too

[minor furnace]

Discrete math actually coming in handy, using the inclusion/exclusion principle to get the probabilities right (I think)

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            loaded_val = pseudorandom('loaded_both')
            if loaded_val < G.GAME.probabilities.normal * G.GAME.probabilities.normal/75 then
                return{
                    mult = 60,
                    dollars = 6
                }
            elseif loaded_val < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/15 then
                return{
                    mult = 60
                }
            elseif loaded_val < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal/5 + G.GAME.probabilities.normal/15 - G.GAME.probabilities.normal * G.GAME.probabilities.normal/75) then
                return{
                    dollars = 6
                }
            end
        end
    end

I'm trying to make a joker similar to raised fist when the game selects the lowest ranked in your hand and destroys it but for some reason this code either doesn't work or it targets every single card instead of the lowest ranked one
can someone please help me?

[gusty sequoia]

Hey guys, my joker doesn't show as compatible with Brainstorm & Blueprint, despite the fact it is, why is that?

[normal crest]

set blueprint_compat = true on your joker

[gusty sequoia]

Ah, thanks!

[faint yacht]

oop, yeah. forgetful. 😅

[small moon]

Putting this here for anyone who might be looking for it in the future:

To find/search for files in a directory, Smods uses a filesystem library called "nativefs," (not lfs) so if you want to split your additions into separate files like I do, you can implement it like this:

local nativefs = require("nativefs")

function string:endswith(suffix)
    return self:sub(-#suffix) == suffix
end

-- Written by Melody (https://meluhdy.dev)
function load_files_in_dir(relative_path)
    local absolute_path = SMODS.current_mod.path..relative_path
    local files = nativefs.getDirectoryItemsInfo(absolute_path)
    for i = 1, #files do
        local file = files[i]
        local file_info = nativefs.getInfo(absolute_path.."/"..file.name)
        if file_info.type == "directory" then
            load_files_in_dir(relative_path.."/"..file.name)
        elseif file.name:endswith(".lua") then
            assert(SMODS.load_file(relative_path.."/"..file.name))()
        end
    end
end

Then you just need to call it with the name of the folder you store your stuff in (yes it is recursive). For example:

load_files_in_dir("jokers")

I think I got all the keywords in but just in case:
load, file system, fs, filesystem, lfs, nfs, nativefs, mod path, split files, directories, separate

[gaunt thistle]

nativefs is distributed alongside smods :-)

[small moon]

Fixed, thank you

[gaunt thistle]

pre-smods filesystem access was a monumental pain in the butt

nativefs is such a useful library

[small moon]

I can imagine, seeing as the only way I could see base lua doing it is through command line and obviously that's not inherently cross-platform compatible

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, either that or ffi. I've contemplated implementing something like nativefs entirely in lovely but it's a lot of work haha

[small moon]

If you do try to go ahead and do that, then I wish you the absolute best of luck

[gaunt thistle]

it's a really weird design choice by the love2d team. like, I get it, but it makes really common fs operations so much more diifficult and convoluted

I would if nativefs didn't already work great :-)

[small moon]

Also I think this is genuinely the first time in my 12 years of programming so far that I have genuinely used recursion when not specifically asked to by some assignment or question or smth

[wicked spire]

In the following code, why is the line mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult necessary? When I take it out, it seems to change the color of the message sent, but I don't understand why and can't seem to find any explanation on the Steamodded wiki documentation.```lua
-- When Joker is triggered and Mult is >0, add Mult
if (context.joker_main) and (card.ability.extra.mult > 0) then
return {
message = localize {
type = "variable",
key = "a_mult",
vars = {
card.ability.extra.mult,
},
},
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
}
end

[normal crest]

mult_mod actually modifies the the mult value in scoring

the message is purely visual

if you're not in an old version of steamodded you can replace your entire return table with { mult = card.ability.extra.mult }

[wicked spire]

Oh ok, I was wondering why that wasn't working but it was because I downgraded recently. Lemme try that

[faint yacht]

[grim remnant]

what'd i bork here?

[twilit cargo]

brackets at the if context.ending_shop methinks

dont trust me tho im tweaking

[grim remnant]

uhhhh how so?

(like, what about the brackets)

[marble flint]

lua uses then and end, not brackets

[twilit cargo]

lua doesnt use em

youve written it more like js (dw me too)

[twilit cargo]

make sure to end the if

[grim remnant]

ohhh

on hovering over the joker, this happened. huh?

[twilit cargo]

ok i been at this for exactly an hour now and still don't have a single line of working code 😭😭😭 does anyone know how to change the config of a booster pack from the same mod? im tryna make a voucher that gives an extra option and extra select but can't figure out how to change the extra and choose config

[minor furnace]

I'm attempting to implement a Reverse Fool Tarot, which creates an inverted version of the most recently used tarot, Fool and Reverse Fool excluded. However, I'm running into an issue where if I hover over the normal Fool card after using the Reverse Fool, it creates a stack overflow error. I think it might be because the info_queue is infinitely adding the description for the Reverse Fool, but I'm not entirely sure. This is the loc_vars function where I'm adding the info of the previously used card to the queue

  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        local fool_c = G.GAME.last_tarot_planet and G.P_CENTERS[G.GAME.last_tarot_planet] or nil
        local last_tarot_planet = fool_c and localize{type = 'name_text', key = fool_c.key, set = fool_c.set} or localize('k_none')
        local colour = (not fool_c or fool_c.name == 'The Fool') and G.C.RED or G.C.GREEN
        main_end = {
            {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "bm", padding = 0.02}, nodes={
                {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "m", colour = colour, r = 0.05, padding = 0.05}, nodes={
                    {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = ' '..last_tarot_planet..' ', colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.3, shadow = true}},
                }}
            }}
        }
        if not (not fool_c or fool_c.name == 'The Fool' or fool_c.name == 'The Fool?') then
            info_queue[#info_queue+1] = fool_c
        end
    end

or maybe it's an issue where it just keeps calling this even if nothing is added to the info_queue?

I essentially just copied the function from common_events.lua

[normal crest]

a bit late but you didn't define a config field on your joker

[normal crest]

you might be interested in looking at cryptid, they do this with a consumable

But I assume it's just a hook/patch on the part of the code that creates booster packs + a global variable in G.GAME

[minor furnace]

the behavior works correctly for my Reverse Fool Card, it only crashes when I use the Reverse Fool, then hover over the normal Fool

[twilit cargo]

alr tyty

sounds scary for a 5am 5min coding adventure but will have a look later 🙏

[normal crest]

good luck soldier

[minor furnace]

so, commenting out info_queue[#info_queue+1] = fool_c fixes the stack overflow, but then I don't get the description of the previously used card

[normal crest]

wouldn't it be fool_c.ability.name?

[minor furnace]

that just crashes when I hover over the card

[normal crest]

oh yeah it's a center, nevermind

[minor furnace]

the line does correctly give the effect of the previously used card

[normal crest]

Can you print what fool_c would be when it crashes

print(inspect(fool_c))

[minor furnace]

yeah I'll check what that does

I'm not entirely sure where it prints to, but it's late so it might be better if I just sleep on it

[minor furnace]

so, it only displays this when I hover over the Reverse Fool, not transitively when I hover over the normal Fool and my previously used card is the Reverse Fool (or at least not before it crashes)

[desert ore]

do I need to do lovely patches to edit base game cards? I need to cover edge cases with invisible joker and ankh where they duplicate like in the situation with me not being able to purchase

[sturdy compass]

Yes you do

[desert ore]

ugh, needing to learn how to do that sooner than I thought

well, here goes nothing

[sturdy compass]

It’s honestly not as intimidating as it looks. It’s basically just telling it “here’s a line of code, this is how I want you to edit it”

[limpid halo]

please put code in code thnak you lovely

[desert ore]

yeah it's just I just learned hooking, and all of this is still very very new to me, it's just a little overwhelming at times

[sturdy compass]

Welcome to learning lol

[nova finch]

can you use context.other_card with context.before?

[limpid halo]

doesn't look like it in the docs but you can always try

[nova finch]

nope

doesnt work

[limpid halo]

then it's not there but you probably want context.scoring_hand or context.full_hand anyways

[wicked spire]

If you don't specify them not to, do Jokers' calculate effect still trigger when the Joker is debuffed?

[grim remnant]

i'm trying to make a joker that gives Xmult = 1 + (high cards played this run * scaler variable). uh. how do i grab how many high cards have been played this run a-la supernova?
