[stiff locust]

how do I check if a card has a specific seal

[normal crest]

card.seal == 'Red' I think

For example

[stiff locust]

okay

[wintry swallow]

Scholar... Yeah that one isn't loaded. You're right. I chipped it up but it still won't load.

[small moon]

Anyone have any ideas?

[wintry swallow]

Don't make the game angry by forgetting to add the 1x

[timid lynx]

How do I specifically call for the planets btw?

[wintry swallow]

Just change it to Planet. Instead of joker or tarot

Your scholar image is too large.

I'm struggling to find the correct size. I would start over and use the template but don't move the frame

I'm not entirely sure that the game can add one joker but not the other. That part doesn't make sense. But deleting the scholar alters every other joker out of bounds

[carmine burrow]

just realized you weren't asking about this but can't you use G.GAME.max_jokers?

[stiff locust]

does steamodded support xchips now

i remember someone saying that

[paper zealot]

I think the description should be assigned to loc_txt.description, not loc_txt.text
It's handled by
SMODS.process_loc_text(G.localization.misc.achievement_descriptions, self.key, self.loc_txt, "description") in SMODS game_object.lua

[stiff locust]

any seal experts

my seal is triggering 5 times under if not context.repetition_only and context.cardarea == G.play then

how do I make it not do that

[carmine burrow]

when should it trigger

what does it do

[stiff locust]

when the card is played

it gives chips and it's supposed to give xchips but i'm having trouble with that it just crashed on me

it wasn't giving anything before

and then i fixed it and now it's crashing instead

says attempt to perform arithmetic on hand_chips (a nil value)

so i'm guessing it's trying to trigger before the card is actually scored?

i followed the seals example mod and everything

[warm sphinx]

How do you add something like maddness? Like each round you get a such and such mult added

[stiff locust]

also what did you guys do with the example mods

it's not in the directory it used to be

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[stiff locust]

noted

context.main_scoring

i think that's what i need

[vestal ore]

black doom's favorite!

[stiff locust]

you go through the ante 1 blind skips like fwshhhh

and then the madness comes in and it drops joker destruction like boom boom boom boom

but you eternal them

and then you go in the boss blind with the face cards and it's all like Debuffed Debuffed Debuffed Debuffed

oh my god it's so cool

[vestal ore]

my tired brain took way too long to recognize that this was from the jehtt video LMAOOO

[warm sphinx]

How do you add a mult for when blind is selected ? and is there a way to have it run a python script when it activities?

[rough furnace]

Does anyone have a mac (perferably without xcode and brew [or other package managers]) who's willing to test smth for me?

[lucid owl]

why is card.ability.extra.money not incrementing?

[paper zealot]

I can't see any issues with unlock_condition, but if the achievement has already been earned, then unlock_condition won't be run. You could try resetting the earned state and trying again.

[small moon]

I've reset the profile I'm playing on multiple times with achievements enabled and nothing has changed :/

[paper zealot]

Hrm. Not sure where achievement states are stored. Try changing the achievement key to a different name just to check?

[stiff locust]

are mod prefixes limited to only 4 characters

[plush cove]

nope, but that's standard practice

[stiff locust]

great well then i have no idea what's going on

how do I get a seal to show up in info_queue

[grim remnant]

Trying to make a consumable that gives a random spectral card, but having two issues:

1. For whatever reason, the summoned Tarot card just. Does not operate. It doesn't get added to the inventory, it doesn't respond to anything, it just. Appears.
2. Less concerning, but no less annoying, the check for if you have space is broken and doesn't account for if the space you need is the tarot card itself.

[rough furnace]

Not even standard practice just an arbitrary default

[rough furnace]

Your not actually doing anything with the card. You need to emplace it (or just use SMODS.add_card)

[chrome widget]

where is a card's key typically stored?

card.config.center.key?

[rough furnace]

Yeah

[coral grotto]

for some reason the custom challenge i'm making seems to REALLY hate custom keys, whenever i try to use one in its definition there's an eventual crash with it complaining about "attempt to index local 'center'"

i've checked this channel and this seems to happen when the wrong key is used but i don't think i'm doing that

when else could that show up

(also less problematically the text for my custom rule doesn't show up even though i have it defined in a localization file)

[normal crest]

use SMODS.add_card for your first problem

create_card just, creates it

add_card actually puts it into the respective area

[rough furnace]

How did you get your card?

[coral grotto]

i'm not modifying create_card in any way if that's what you're asking

i was but the way i was attempting it didn't work so i commented it out but that didn't fix anything

[rough furnace]

I'm not

You are trying to get it from a card how did you get that card?

[coral grotto]

it's a challenge i'm not sure what you mean by i'm trying to get it from a card

[rough furnace]

Like can I see the code

[coral grotto]

code i have is this

SMODS.Challenge {
    key = 'grg_chal_grunglest',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Grunglest'
    },
    rules = {
        custom = {
            -- {id = 'ch_c_grg_grunglest'},
        }
    },
    jokers = {},
    consumeables = {
        {id = 'c_grg_grungler'},
    },
    vouchers = {},
    restrictions = {
        banned_cards = {
            {id = 'j_grg_ringoker'},
        }
    },
    deck = {
        type = 'Challenge Deck'
    }
}

c_grg_grungler and j_grg_ringoker are all defined

[rough furnace]

Okay and how do you define your joker

Or uhh consumabke

[coral grotto]

SMODS.Consumable({
    key = 'c_grg_grungler',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'grungler_card',
    pos = {x=0, y=0},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Grungler',
        text = {
            '{C:attention}Shuffles{} all cards',
            'currently in hand'
        }
    },
    can_use = function()
        return G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND or G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK
    end,
    config = {
        extra = {
            grungler = "Grungler"
        }
    },
    use = (there's a whole function here but it's long and i don't want to clog up the channel)
})

[rough furnace]

You should not being putting the c_ or your prefix in the id

Smods does that for you

[coral grotto]

ah that makes a lot more sense

i think i still need to define a prefix somewhere though

nvm i have one already

[rough furnace]

In your header/json definition

[coral grotto]

yeah

i remove it from the consumable definition right

[rough furnace]

Yeah

Also if you do want to see what the game set the I'd of something as you can use DebugPlus and run eval do.hovered.config.center.key on it

[coral grotto]

thanks

is this related to why my localization code doesn't seem to be working

return {
    descriptions = {
        misc = {
            v_text = {
                ch_c_grg_grunglest = {"All {C:attention}Tarot{} cards are {C:attention}The Grungler{}"}
            }
        }
    }
}

[stiff locust]

new different problem

trying to use the event manager to get this to work but i have no idea how the event manager actually works

the joker effect triggers during context.after but I want it to wait until after the scoring animation has played before it does its thing, which I assume would be the purpose of the event manager

is there a way to get the event to wait until after the scoring animation is done?

wait I figuted it out

blockable = true

[grim remnant]

was able to fix the "spectral cards don't actually do anything" issue, and for the most part the "must have room" works, but there's a weird edge case where you can still "buy and use" even if you don't actually have space. what am i missing here?

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

[chrome widget]

I have now created a joker that makes flirty comments whenever you buy women jokers

[plush cove]

so let me get this straight. your bloodline goes across many generations, dozens of people who have fought in wars and endured hardship so you can get to this point right here right now. your parents had you when you were a child, and then you grew up, and they tried to give you the most loving home they could. so tell me how all of those people would feel about you deciding to do this

[rose dragon]

there are women jokers in balala?

[chrome widget]

It's primarily for my mod, which has a bunch of jokers depicting various characters (collaborative mod for the JoJo Fanworks discord server). But for vanilla jokers, I added Lusty (b/c lust?), Hack (who vaguely looks like a butch lesbian), Blueprint and Brainstorm (due to the yuri art), Shoot the Moon (since it's a queen-specific joker), and Driver's License (since she's a trans woman via patch notes). Also egg so I could make a trans egg joke

Annoying obv that it inherently isn't compatible with other mods because it requires manually keying in that a joker is a "woman", but it doesn't break or anything, which is the best I can ask for

[plush cove]

noted

[chrome widget]

Nods nods

[plush cove]

does it serve any practical purpose besides just being flirty though?

[rose dragon]

new smods joker key: is_women
-# devious snake_case change

[chrome widget]

The character it represents is a very flirtatious lesbian, so it scales chips based on how many qualifying jokers you also have

[chrome widget]

TRUE

[plush cove]

balatrwoke

[rose dragon]

what about objects (business card, 8 ball, gros michel)? do i just write "it"?

[plush cove]

for objects the pronouns would be "u", "s", "a"

/j

[rose dragon]

anyway, back from the joker gender discussion what no updates does to a mf, i have been considering making a program similar to curseforge that lets you easily download, publish, enable and disable mods, along with support for dependencies and statistics. should i make this or will nobody here really use it?

[normal crest]

a similar project is being made at #1339375696254074942

it'd probably be preferable to contribute to that rather than make your own

[rose dragon]

is it oss?

[normal crest]

the license is GPL-3.0

https://github.com/skyline69/balatro-mod-manager

[rose dragon]

i was almost worried it wasnt written in rust

phew

[normal crest]

it's on a very early alpha release and to my knowledge it doesn't support linux

[manic rune]

whats the thing that makes text wavy?

[normal crest]

DynaText I think

[manic rune]

i will take a look at that, thanks!

[normal crest]

just go to functions/UI_definitions.lua and ctrl f DynaText

[grim remnant]

still need help with this if anyone has any pointers :o

[paper zealot]

For DynaText objects, there's a few different kinds of movement.
Try out bump_rate = <number> and bump_amount = <number>,
float = <boolean>,

        speed = <number>,
        amount = <number>,
        silent = <boolean>
    }

        speed = <number>,
        width = <number>,
        amount = <number>,
        silent = <boolean>
    }

[manic rune]

damn, thats very detailed, thanks :D

[frosty dock]

you're checking if the number of consumables in your slots is less than or equal to the card limit

the "or equal" part of that happens when your slots are full

[paper zealot]

float = true is very upsetting for my brain to read, so I'm happy to share the pain

[frosty dock]

thanks I just noticed that

[grim remnant]

that was my attempt to fix the initial problem--that it was impossible to use the card if you had another consumable because you "wouldn't have enough room", despite logically speaking, using the consumable would free that room.

[normal crest]

unless it was a negative consumable

[chrome widget]

That typically should be the reason for the consumable buffer? I think

[grim remnant]

for reference, this is the current code

    key = 'acePentacles',
    set = 'Tarot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Ace of Pentacles',
        text = {
            "Creates a random {c:blue}Spectral{} card",
            "{C:inactive}(must have room)"
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Tarot',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 1},
    cost = 3,
    can_use = function(self,card) --check for if there's space! KNOWN BUG: will not care if there's no space for buy & use.
        if #G.consumeables.cards <= G.consumeables.config.card_limit or self.area == G.consumeables then
            return true
                end
            end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ --make a spectral card!
            trigger = "after",
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound("timpani")
                SMODS.add_card{
                    set = "Spectral"
                }
                -- card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                return true
            end,
        }))
        delay(0.6)
    end,
}```

[manic rune]

what is the key of a modded consumable, is it c_(prefix)_name oooor?

[normal crest]

The <= allows you to use the consumable if it's in the shop and your slots are full for example

You had the right idea with the area check, but should use card instead of self, and account for your consumable being negative

[chrome widget]

But yeah specifically, when you create consumables, you have to do this:
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
and then once you're finished creating the card, do
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0

The game creates a buffer space when it knows it needs to create a card and then removes it once the card has been added

[normal crest]

Yes

[manic rune]

epic, thanks once again

[grim remnant]

silly question, where do we put this ^^:

[chrome widget]

Put expanding the buffer before you send the event, and then reduce the buffer after the juice_up() function in the event

[grim remnant]

good news: it doesn't have the "buy and use" when inventory is full anymore!
bad news: ...the original bug is back.

[normal crest]

What does your can use func look like now

[grim remnant]

        if #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit or self.area == G.jokers then
            return true
                end
            end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier) --code from cryptid's gateway, will almost inevitably need to adjust
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ --here
            trigger = "after",
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound("stla_stellatedGet")
                SMODS.add_card{
                    set = "Joker",
                    rarity = "stla_Stellated"
                }
                card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                return true
            end,
        }))
        delay(0.6)
    end,
}```

[scarlet spire]

how can I recalculate a hand if a joker changes the cards in context.before?

[normal crest]

Did you send the wrong one

[grim remnant]

Ah

yes i did ;P

        if #G.consumeables.cards < G.consumeables.config.card_limit or self.area == G.consumeables then
            return true
                end
            end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ --make a spectral card!
            trigger = "after",
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound("timpani")
                SMODS.add_card{
                    set = "Spectral"
                }
                -- card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                return true
            end,
        }))
        delay(0.6)
    end,```

there we go

[normal crest]

Yeah all you need is use card instead of self in can_use

[normal crest]

What I said here

[grim remnant]

so like, just function(card)?

[normal crest]

No

The function definition is correct

self.area -> card.area

[grim remnant]

alrighty, that worked! :o

[normal crest]

Now make your consumable negative

and you'll run into another issue

[grim remnant]

...we uh, have no idea how to check for "is negative" in this equation (haven't ever needed to check edition before now), and it's almost 4am, you're gonna have to spell this one out, apologies ^^:

[normal crest]

to check if any card is negative you can do if card.edition and card.edition.negative

the first check is necessary because edition could be nil

[grim remnant]

will look into this tomorrow, uh, it's a tad late for me to be futzing with if statements beyond what we've already done

[manic rune]

||what if theres a mod that allows jokers to have sexual intercourse with each other for a new joker, just sayin||

[chrome widget]

Sounds like a lot of work to implement

[wintry swallow]

I wonder how easy it would be to create a mod updater that uses git

[manic rune]

no clue why and how i randomly came up with that idea 😭

[chrome widget]

Throw the jokers in the daycare and walk in the grass back and forth for a few thousand steps

[manic rune]

thats crazy, pokermon should add that

❤️

[chrome widget]

We've completed like 30 ish jokers for my mod so far which is fun!!!

I'm actually kinda enjoying the pixel art

[wintry swallow]

@manic rune what side of the bed did you wake up on? You would have to write that code entirely exclusively from the game since the game is not designed to have that type of functionality at all. Actually lol you would be better off making Balatro 2.0

[manic rune]

i slid downwards ❤️

[wintry swallow]

Well hopefully you found what you were looking for when you did that xD

[normal crest]

I don't think it'd be as hard to implement as you make it sound

[manic rune]

actually, yeah, ive seen mods more complicated than that ngl

its a bit similar to fusion jokers if i have to make a comparison

[wintry swallow]

It depends on what you're looking for. Most of the game uses one type of animation style

The game uses images and particals There aren't any sprites and vectors that I can think of. This game would probably run on a potato

[normal crest]

You know, I don't think you need an animation for it

I think it's fine to leave it up to imagination

[wintry swallow]

I think it's too much work when you can have a random AI create whatever fan art you want

Btw... My git updater for Balatro. Took 5 minutes to make

[neat plover]

Doodle Joker

1 in 4 chance to copy the ability of the joker to the right. (Must be blueprint compatible)

[normal crest]

This is so inconvenient and probably chatgptd

[wintry swallow]

Inconvenient? I have like 8 mods

[neat plover]

but why would you use git?

[wintry swallow]

It's not really something I plan on doing all the time. I just don't want to go looking for everything when I reset my PC again.

[normal crest]

why would you not use git

[nocturne garnet]

already exists, no?

dimserene did that right

[neat plover]

idk but what does it changes?

[wintry swallow]

I uploaded my custom collection because I lost the last one I made. I spent about 12 hours today polishing it this time

[scarlet spire]

honestly I probably should connect my smods install to git considering how often I update it

[wintry swallow]

I consolidated 5 different mods for no other reason than to say I could

[normal crest]

if you git clone a mod repo you can easily update it by doing git pull

[wintry swallow]

I did find out the answer to that question I asked hours ago. Playing card is not a defined key in malverks theme engine

[normal crest]

doing it manually is still a bit of a chore, but you can easily write scripts that automate the process

[wintry swallow]

If I try and use the defined key in the game code I get a nil error. Which is fun. Honestly I should just write it myself

Nil is a new thing for me. I'm used to IRQ errors in regards to memory.

[marble flint]

If we're sharing git updaters, here's mine (in batch (derogatory)). needs the weird windows version of git but very nice otherwise

[plush cove]

you guys use git updaters?

the only script-related thing I knew Balatro modders used was an upscale script for 1x -> 2x

[normal crest]

no, I manually look through the mods' commits and write the code myself in my local copy

[iron iron]

i am very new to balala modding, can someone explain why this crashes

[normal crest]

what's the crash first

oh well, you're missing a comma in your json file

[iron iron]

i changed some of the names but this was it

holy shit i am

[normal crest]

make sure you have Viridis.png under Mods/your mod/assets/1x and /2x

[plush cove]

cringe upscaling script

[marble flint]

here's my cringe upscaling script using imagemagick: for /F %%x in ('dir /B/D 1x') do magick 1x\%%x -scale 200%% 2x\%%x

although this does change the metadata on unchanged atlases making commits rather annoying

does aseprite also do that?

[iron iron]

i dont have ballatro on steam so can someone test this rq

[plush cove]

i dont think so

[plush cove]

"me and my friend made a game, it is 2-5 minute adventure game and we would like you to play to give feedback"

[iron iron]

its not the whole thing i need to make sure the code works lol

i dont need feedback lmao

by test i literally just mean load it and see if it crashes

[normal crest]

what astrapboy said refers to a common way to distribute malware

random people dm you on discord asking if you want to test their game

[iron iron]

ohhhhh

[marble flint]

at least this is easily vettable (looks safe to me but check for yourself if you choose to download it)

[iron iron]

yall i dont know shit abt malware just lettin you know

[marble flint]

sounds like something a malware-doer would say /nsrs

[iron iron]

also ive been here for like a year so

[plush cove]

and you havent had Balatro on PC?!

[iron iron]

nope, my parents dont want me to buy balala on pc since they think its pointless (i have it on switch)

[marble flint]

doesn't crash when injecting

[rose dragon]

im opening this shit in triage

[iron iron]

ok

thank you for letting me know 👍

[plush cove]

like I respect the effort and all, but

you can't really mod a game that you don't have access to the files of

[iron iron]

why not

[marble flint]

a Large portion of modding this game is ctrl-shift-f'ing its code

[iron iron]

ehhh ill figure it out

i mean i can just look at the code of other mods

[plush cove]

you can only get so far

[marble flint]

that attitude is honestly so refreshing compared to a hundred "how do I do X thing in Y mod" "go look at its code" exchanges

[plush cove]

tbh I do look at other code whenever I need to make Jokers that function somewhat similarly

like half of my general dependencies file is taken from JenLib lol

[iron iron]

dawg wdym i can literally get anywhere with this

name one thing in balatro that i cant get through mods

[marble flint]

personally I should do more research but only because I'm too comfortable reimplementing things myself

my util.lua is Terrifying

[plush cove]

yup

although I have still made my own code (like this)

[normal crest]

surely those aren't global

[plush cove]

they are but they're part of a file that's dedicated to global functions used across multiple Jokers

all in one convenient place

[normal crest]

i'd not recommend making global functions like that

[marble flint]

it's code like this that makes me yearn for a functional map/reduce

[plush cove]

[plush cove]

❓

[normal crest]

conflicts with other mods

[marble flint]

my globals all end up in Bakery_API which Will Not Have Collisions

[normal crest]

if any other mod decides they need a utility function and happen to put the same name as yours

it will cause issues

[marble flint]

wait Lua is good I can just make that

[plush cove]

@normal crest would this be a simple solution?

[normal crest]

yeah

[neat plover]

honestly for upscaling the atlas i just pixel scaler

[normal crest]

I do the same

All my globals in one global table

[plush cove]

alright here I go

[marble flint]

you don't have to use my terrible naming conventon though

[normal crest]

good luck, it'll be a bit of refactoring

but it's pretty much necessary

[neat plover]

does anyone have sample joker code or simply the one for blueprint

[plush cove]

these can probably be left alone since they're meant for another mod in the first place lol

[normal crest]

look at vanilla's blueprint

[neat plover]

how?

[normal crest]

Mods/lovely/dump/card.lua

ctrl + f search for "blueprint"

[neat plover]

okay

thanks

[desert ore]

Can I have a joker's base sell value be less than half at default?

[marble flint]

you could modify it in add_to_deck (or whatever it's called)

[plush cove]

i think I've done it

wasnt really that much of an endeavor lol

[desert ore]

I suppose that's a cheeky solution

[marble flint]

me when there are random bugs three weeks from now:

[rose dragon]

me when i spend three weeks looking for a missing - sign

[plush cove]

okay I have thoroughly checked and I have fixed all of the functions

[marble flint]

(that's a :pain: reaction)

[neat plover]

if self.ability.set == "Joker" and not self.debuff then if self.ability.name == "Blueprint" then local other_joker = nil for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do if G.jokers.cards[i] == self then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1] end end if other_joker and other_joker ~= self then context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1 context.blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card or self if context.blueprint > #G.jokers.cards + 1 then return end local other_joker_ret = other_joker:calculate_joker(context) if other_joker_ret then other_joker_ret.card = context.blueprint_card or self other_joker_ret.colour = G.C.BLUE return other_joker_ret end end end

[rose dragon]

ima pull request a bug to your git repo when you release mistigris

[desert ore]

wait, wouldn't this have some unintuitive interactions when duplicated?

[neat plover]

someone explain im so lost

[rose dragon]

it just copies and returns what the other joker returns when it gets calculated

[rose dragon]

nuh uh

[plush cove]

if you actually are gonna make this please send it to me

[marble flint]

sure. most of the functions are quite easy to implement procedurally but i'll make a general pretty good version

[rose dragon]

screenshot of a spritesheet of every single frame in bad apple, which i plan on using for a joker (5325x8360 pixels, 6MB)

[plush cove]

please tell me this is the 2X sprite sheet

[rose dragon]

1x

[plush cove]

you are fucking deranged

[rose dragon]

2x is 14.6mb

😭

[crisp coral]

images are loaded in powers of two, so your 5325x8360 atlas will be loaded as... 8192x16384 i believe?

[rose dragon]

i was able to fix it by rerunning my mp4-to-spritesheet program with 5 fps

[crisp coral]

i'm still here, you did not need to ping me

[rose dragon]

yeah i forgor sry

[crisp coral]

turn this off

[rose dragon]

i used @silent?

[crisp coral]

silent only removes the push notifications, which i already have all disabled

the ping icon and stuff are still present

[rose dragon]

anyway, why does this crash and how do i fix it?

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "badapple",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
    path = "badapple.png",

            }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

    end
})

[crisp coral]

jokers dont pull from animation atlases

[rose dragon]

what can i do to fix it?

[plush cove]

have you checked how Jimball works in Cryptid or 4D Joker in Maximus?

[rose dragon]

i don't understand how it works? from the code im reading jimball should be static

update: i was able to get it working by stealing borrowing maximus' code
-# which is also stolen from cryptid

[crisp coral]

there's a Game.update hook that changes the position

[wintry solar]

There also that animated sprite mod someone was working on that I can’t find

[marble flint]

might have scope creeped a little bit but oh well I'm having fun

Made this reverse Hanged Man to randomly generate two normal cards into your hand. Works perfectly fine, but the cards generate from the bottom left of the screen and then fly into the hand. Looks a little odd, any pointers? Thanks

[olive moth]

i know context.end_of_round, but how do i make it proc specifically on bosses?

[wintry solar]

Add ``and G.GAME.blind.boss` iirc

[olive moth]

ty in advance, omw to test it

btw, where can i familiarize myself with all the "G.(something)" bits? what is it exactly and how does it work?

[dreamy thunder]

how to use "G.GAME[key:lower() .. '_rate']" ?

So i want to make an effect that retriggers all stone cards but the game gives me an error at line 19

Im not sure what's wrong

[mystic river]

what's the error

[prisma loom]

here^^

[red flower]

it might be order of operations on the condition, try putting the cardarea checks in parenthesis

[dreamy thunder]

How can i fix it so my custom consumable with a custom consumable type spawning "Joker" in the shop when removed from the pool?

Hello, im trying to make a joker that retriggers the rightmost scored card for each ace previously scored this hand, but i keep getting errors related to values of nil being returned, can anyone help me with this?

[neat plover]

i want to make a left side blueprint with rng, what do i need to change?

[neat plover]

at least i know im not the only one

its syntax errors

always

if its error 141

[onyx sonnet]

if it were syntax id be getting errors for unexpected symbols, this is a logic error because the code gets run just fine until it explodes

[neat plover]

nah im telling you i spent two hours because of a comma

[neat plover]

what explodes?

[onyx sonnet]

the game, i jokingly say explode instead of crash

syntax errors get flagged immediately when launching the game

say if i removed one of the first commas for example

[neat plover]

what does the log say?

[onyx sonnet]

id get something like this which reports an unexpected symbol, which means there is a syntax error prior to it

[lavish lake]

awooooooooooooo

[onyx sonnet]

but my error only happens when the game attempts to score the last card in the played hand

so its definitely not syntax

[onyx sonnet]

bump

[neat plover]

blueprint is actually annoying to code

[olive moth]

i might be asking questions here more often than i actually code, ngl

anyway

[neat plover]

thats what learning is all about

[olive moth]

anyone has an idea on how to "get" all cards of a certain suit and loop over them to modify them?

i can kinda guess the modify part

[neat plover]

played cards?

[olive moth]

but i have no idea how to reference the cards

[olive moth]

nope, just all cards with, for example, Hearts that you have in your deck

played, unplayed, in hand, debuffed

etc

[neat plover]

well i cant help you there

[olive moth]

time to wait for the big guys and gals to help 🥲

[neat plover]

exactly what im waiting for

[olive moth]

god knows i've had a few aneurysms reading the smods documentation

[marsh basalt]

Can't you iterate over the card areas?

[olive moth]

?

as in?

[marsh basalt]

G.hand, G.discard, G.deck are all global variables

[olive moth]

oooh

[marsh basalt]

G.hand.cards gets a table with the cards in hand

[olive moth]

yea no, i definitely missed the most important part somewhere

[marsh basalt]

I don't think that is listed anywhere in the docs

I've been dwelling in Balatro's code to learn how to do things (a la open the .exe with 7zip or whatever you're using)

[olive moth]

gahdamn

[marsh basalt]

Not sure if there's a table that has every card in the player's possession at once but I know about the ones I listed, there's probably one for cards that have been played as well

[olive moth]

i guess i can just loop over all places cards can be?

[lavish lake]

i think there is a playing cards table

[wintry solar]

remove the message and card properties of your return

[olive moth]

inefficient but at least it'll maybe work

[marsh basalt]

If that is the case then you could iterate over that instead

[lavish lake]

it's called playing_cards
you can access it through context i think

[wintry solar]

G.playing_cards is what you're looking for

[neat plover]

anyone here can enlighten me???

[onyx sonnet]

that worked! thank you very much!

[iron socket]

Still trying to figure out a solution to this... :)

[olive moth]

btw, digging through the main game's card.lua in parallel rn, what's the difference between suit/face and suit/face_nominal?

[neat plover]

i shouldve chosen an easier idea

[lavish lake]

guys i need ideas for the joker "K" in my mod. what should it do?

[neat plover]

are you doing the alphabet????

[prisma loom]

Does this code also has an order issue? Its supposed to give played stone cards random edition

[lavish lake]

yes

[olive moth]

i think everyone can relate 😭

[prisma loom]

it also has an error at that line

14

aka config.center

[olive moth]

def something with kings

[lavish lake]

ok but again, what should it do exactly?
you can view examples from jokers ive already made at https://github.com/Runtem/alphabet-jokers

[onyx sonnet]

sorry to bother again but does returning in a function prematurely end its execution like in c++?

[wintry solar]

yes

[olive moth]

ok, even before looking at the code i have a silly idea

[olive moth]

add a consumable like soul that unlocks a letter of extended latin

[onyx sonnet]

thats an issue, im trying to make the repetition increase only affect the current hand

[olive moth]

like thorn/eth, or o umlaut

[onyx sonnet]

but it seems to continuously stack, and adding a statement to put it back to 0 before the return makes it not do anything

hmmm

[lavish lake]

i am not planning to extend the scope of the project past the base 26 jokers which are letters

[manic rune]

why are you changing the edition of your consumable?

[olive moth]

(Þ, ð, ö accordingly)

[prisma loom]

oh shoot

my bad

[olive moth]

damn 😔

[lavish lake]

i mean no scope creep am i right guys?

https://tenor.com/view/ben-starr-balatro-eating-banana-cavendish-gros-michel-gif-6680221824460769788

anyways what should the "K" joker in my mod do?

nobody answered properly yet

[neat plover]

i hate attempting to reach a nil value

[jovial harness]

Something with kings, since K is usually a shortening for kings?

[lavish lake]

I KNOW, just gimme the entire idea

[jovial harness]

OH

[manic rune]

wat rarity is the joker

[marsh basalt]

Give +N mult per King played?

[lavish lake]

uncommon

[manic rune]

each king in hand has a certain chance to either give cash or chips, probably

[lavish lake]

so basically baron

but slightly more complex

[olive moth]

i have a stupid idea

[manic rune]

yeah, im thinkin about making them go well together ❤️

ok wait, so uh

[lavish lake]

Kings held in hand have a
1 in 2 chance to give 1.25X mult and
1 in 5 chance to give 3$

[olive moth]

1/11 chance of upgrading played hand per each played King

[manic rune]

hm

[onyx sonnet]

for an uncommon? jesus

[manic rune]

3x mult? 😭

with oops, all 6s, that is more cracked than even baron lol

[marsh basalt]

Baron+

[lavish lake]

legendary

[onyx sonnet]

you overthrew reserved parking and baron in one fell swoop

[olive moth]

well they ARE baron's biggest lover so it makes sense

:3

[lavish lake]

i debuffed the stats

[onyx sonnet]

would baron's biggest lover stab him in the back like this

[olive moth]

fr tho, i think i cooked with this no?

[manic rune]

i have another idea which is increasing the rank of all played cards if they are less than king, idk

[olive moth]

(1 of 11 because K is the 11th letter, yadda yadda)

[onyx sonnet]

HRT

[lavish lake]

[manic rune]

whats hrt 😭

[manic rune]

[manic rune]

uh wait, i think i got the code for this

[olive moth]

Kingtosterone

[onyx sonnet]

Hormone Replacement Therapy, when people take things like Estrogen or Testosterone to transition and look more feminine or masculine

[lavish lake]

I want the joker to mean "oKay..." instead of "King"

[neat plover]

wait really??

[olive moth]

||very un-baron of you but aight|| disables boss blinds that debuff cards (i'll explain)

[jovial harness]

If you clear a blind in a single hand with no discards, gives money. "k, next"

[olive moth]

people often use "k" instead of "okay" when they're nonchalantly ignoring something/someone

the joker lets cards ignore debuffs

[manic rune]

local cardPos = 0
local other_card = nil
for i,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards)
  if v == card then
    cardPos = i
  end
end
if cardPos <= 1 then 
  return 
else
  other_card = G.jokers.cards[cardPos - 1]
end
context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1
context.blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card or card

if (context.blueprint > #G.jokers.cards + 1) or not other_card then
  return
end

local other_joker_ret, trig = other_joker:calculate_joker(context)
context.blueprint = nil
if other_joker_ret or trig then
  if not other_joker_ret then
    other_joker_ret = {}
  end
  other_joker_ret.card = context.blueprint_card or card
  context.blueprint_card = nil
  other_joker_ret.colour = G.C.GREEN
  other_joker_ret.no_callback = true
  return other_joker_ret
end
context.blueprint_card = nil

put this inside your calculation

and i think it should be good

[olive moth]

you cooked

[neat plover]

TTTTHHHHAAANNKKSSSS

[lavish lake]

Maybe something like this:

Gives (+30 chips, +10 mult, 5$, +1 discard) for the round
Ability changes every round

[olive moth]

yaaaay

[manic rune]

its scrap code from my mod, it might not even work so tell me if it bugs out lol

[olive moth]

bro imma be real, why do you ask for suggestions if you didn't take even one into consideration 😭

[lavish lake]

I needed a starting point

[manic rune]

i dont see a starting point here but aight 😭

you r running on a whole another track rn

[olive moth]

yea

to each their own tbh, you do you

[neat plover]

could you send a file with the text only becaus e discord destroys spacing

[manic rune]

damn, wait

[neat plover]

it puts everything on the same column when i copy

[manic rune]

   calculate = function(self, card, context)

is this a basic blueprint or a custom one

got the code for this one

uhh

v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_wild,nil,true)

[lavish lake]

what

[manic rune]

just change the "v" to the card you want to change

[olive moth]

it's a House M.D. reference

[manic rune]

its supposed to be blueprint but targeting the left card

[lavish lake]

Sorry i dont watch that 🤷‍♂️

[olive moth]

House has a similar approach to his work generally (not dissing you just in case)

[manic rune]

oof

[neat plover]

ok

[olive moth]

he asks his team for possible diagnoses, discards them all most of the time, and assigns his own (he's right most of the time)

anyway, we've gone way off-topic

[olive moth]

holy hell there's so much possible stuff in this concept

damn

[manic rune]

is there a way to revive cards from graveyard ❤️

[random sleet]

(bone cards arent)

it exists in the code

i havent made anything that does it yet tho

[manic rune]

epic

[random sleet]

it is a thing that cards know how to do

[olive moth]

[lavish lake]

do you accept suggestions

you are welcome to yap in my thread i'll forget them less there
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1331462654732144721

[olive moth]

on use, takes all cards in the graveyard and plays them once as one giant hand

[manic rune]

there should def be a consumable which gives you more $ per card in graveyard ngl

[olive moth]

needs a GIANT drawback tho

maybe wiping the graveyard and/or decreasing hands

[manic rune]

lowkey i want to add smt like a new zone too, but im afraid if i do so then my mod will potentially become incompatible with some mods

bruh

[olive moth]

graveyard keeper called they want their game back

[random sleet]

well the graveyard is not visible on-screen

you have to look in the deck and then in a tab

[manic rune]

mmm

i guess not many mods do that, so its a pretty safe choice

[olive moth]

arrrgh the urge to make add-on mods after i kinda get to know my way around the code

[random sleet]

you are welcome to make mods that depend on AMM

just know i'm a weird freak and keep adding shit to it

[manic rune]

it should be relatively easy once you remember the basic stuffs that balatro uses for their code

[random sleet]

and i dont document shit because im lazy

[olive moth]

like Tainted magic for Thaumcraft in minecraft, if that rings any bells for yall

[random sleet]

(but my code is generally pretty readable )

[manic rune]

i legit dont play that many mods in minecraft because my laptop is barely running balatro 💀

[iron socket]

Looking to make a tarot that when used gives a certain tag. Anyone know how that method would be called?

[olive moth]

feel that

[manic rune]

like, i doubt anyone here ever experienced not having enough ram to even run balatro

lol

and thats a game less than 100 freaking megabytes 😭

[olive moth]

arghhh cryptid does something similar, gimme a sec

[manic rune]

doesnt vanilla game already have cards like that

[hushed field]

time to add monster reborn

[olive moth]

(alt+tab code card)

[manic rune]

oh wait nvm

its tags

not seals

my bad

[olive moth]

nananah you're right

diet cola

[random sleet]

if i had the foggiest idea how to implement a selection interface for the graveyard, yeah

[olive moth]

gives you a double tag

[iron socket]

Oh!

I totally forgot about that

[lavish lake]

Guys i can give ideas for your jokers or consumables or seals or anything, just ask me and provide me with the basic context

[hushed field]

A graveyard might be cool for a frankenstein joker that just grabs random features from cards in the graveyard, then gives you that card 🤔

[iron socket]

I'll check there first and then come back if I still can't figure it out

[hushed field]

no nightmare worse than having to design UIs 😛

[olive moth]

ok i'm starting to kinda acclimatise here

(good)

[manic rune]

nah but hear me out, what if you add a challenge which switches between the graveyard and your deck every round

[olive moth]

i was VERY hesitant to speak initially

[random sleet]

tainted lazarus ahh

[manic rune]

and your deck is split in half, so that graveyard has 26 cards while your deck has 26 cards

[olive moth]

t.Laz

[olive moth]

aslkfajlsdhjklsfhj

[manic rune]

whats that 😭

[olive moth]

it's a character from the latest The binding of Isaac DLC

[manic rune]

oh

i havent played the binding of issac yet sadly

[random sleet]

but actually tho i love that challenge idea

can i put it in my docs

[olive moth]

basically it's exactly that, it has two inventories and changes between them for every cleared room

[manic rune]

ye sure

[olive moth]

(or when using its built-in item)

[manic rune]

ohhh

6?

6️⃣

[cursive flicker]

misclick lol

[olive moth]

2 builds 1 character

[manic rune]

lmao its fine

[manic rune]

can be quite annoying when one inventory is packed as hell while the other is basically nothing lol

or maybe its not, idk

[olive moth]

yeaaaa

[olive moth]

yea no, you can time the flips to put items where you want, but the issue is that there's now kinda twice less items per floor

[manic rune]

oh

[random sleet]

playing two characters with one character's total amount of items

[olive moth]

yesss

exactly

[random sleet]

guess which binding of isaac character i'm talking about

[manic rune]

issac

[olive moth]

oh

[manic rune]

❤️

[olive moth]

the twins?

[random sleet]

a joke so funny they did it twice

[olive moth]

i forgor their names ahh

[random sleet]

jacob&esau

[olive moth]

jacob & esau

yeyeye

[random sleet]

they do have a sort of Karmic feel to them, eh

[iron socket]

Okay that worked 💀. Can't believe I spent an hour looking through the source code and other mods to try and figure that out, forgetting that Diet Cola existed.

[olive moth]

the struggle of a programmer

[manic rune]

nah dw, i sat through my code for 3 hours tryna fix smt until the wizard himself told me to add 2 freaking lines to fix it

😭

[olive moth]

i stumble in my OWN code, it's a whole other can of worms looking through others' (mostly unannotated!) code

[manic rune]

uhh context for this one: you gotta set context.blueprint and context.blueprint_card to nil for some reason, while the source code doesnt do that

else my version of blueprint completely ignores some jokers, which is a bit annoying

[prisma loom]

it seems like that wasnt the only issue

[manic rune]

oh damn, anything else?

[olive moth]

btw, i'm (once again) diggin through source code here, and i can't find one thing

[manic rune]

wat is it

[olive moth]

does one refer to a card's suit with the suit name or some number?

[manic rune]

oh, name

Diamonds, Hearts, Clubs, Spades

[olive moth]

rarity threw me for a loop with this

[manic rune]

its a string

[olive moth]

TYYYY

[manic rune]

:get_suit() will return one of that

[prisma loom]

error at line 14

[manic rune]

it should be context.other_card:set_edition btw

else ur changing the edition of ur jker

[manic rune]

whats the error here?

i mean

u got the crash log?

[onyx sonnet]

finally got it working (the joker sprite is Hatsune Joku from Neato's Jokers mod, im using it as a placeholder)

[manic rune]

mmm

alright, so

line 13 should probably be if context.cardarea == "G.play and context.individual then
line 14 should be if context.other_card and context.other_card.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_stone then

[manic rune]

is this like reverse hanging chad?

[onyx sonnet]

the way it works is that it retriggers the last scoring card for each scored ace

[manic rune]

ohhhhhhh

id have said thats pretty broken but i realized Aces got barely any support jokers for them lol

[tepid crow]

Lmao why this joker as placeholder

[manic rune]

because its hatsune miku

[onyx sonnet]

hatsune miku

[manic rune]

bruv

[nocturne garnet]

thats not an ace...

[nocturne garnet]

thats a TWO...

[manic rune]

uhh

i think thats how its meant to work

like, each played A will make the joker retrigger the last card once

[nocturne garnet]

it says it retriggers every ace two additional times

[onyx sonnet]

thats old text from the old version

[nocturne garnet]

oh

[onyx sonnet]

i forgot to update the localization files

[nocturne garnet]

darn

[manic rune]

hmmm

[prisma loom]

do I need to define other_card somehow?

like local other_card

(i dont really understand)

[manic rune]

thats odd, it should work

[nocturne garnet]

thas weird

[manic rune]

im not tripping right 😭

it got past the if statement in line 14 so context.other_card should be a playing card

[prisma loom]

I can send a full crash log

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lost-mind-share-this-cat-gif-10624429942940364630

it happens to all of us dw 😭

[obtuse silo]

how do i get the tips to show up for additional elements like with glass joker

[prisma loom]

I swear thats gonna make me schizophrenic one day

[obtuse silo]

https://tenor.com/view/shithead-single-celled-organism-his-name-is-shithead-his-name-is-gif-26390295

[prisma loom]

nah

[manic rune]

ok what

😭

hm

[prisma loom]

its just black magic

[manic rune]

how the fuck is other_card returning as nil, what

[prisma loom]

surely I didnt forget to add some random comma somewhere

[prisma loom]

idk :(

[normal crest]

save a reference to other_card before the event

context will have changed by the time your event runs

[prisma loom]

whats that?

[grim remnant]

hey rq is it a bad sign when we're sketching the code we want to write out in pseudocode, before we even write any actual code,

[manic rune]

its local othercard = context.other_card

[normal crest]

local whatwver = context.other_card

[prisma loom]

[manic rune]

i didnt know that was necessary, damn

[manic rune]

looks like a conversation between yourself from another timeline to me ngl

but hey, if it works then it works

[prisma loom]

Wrong placement?

[manic rune]

in the event

you should use othercard

instead of context.other_card

[prisma loom]

yeah right, I gave it a name

I should use

For some reason editions are cycling

[manic rune]

i mean

huh

[prisma loom]

or rather it triggers twice?

ig

[manic rune]

oh wait

line 13, you should add context.individual too

and hopefully it will fix

[prisma loom]

It did! also I somehow accidentally removed it in the process

my bad, sorry

[manic rune]

oh lel

its fine

shouldnt have taken that long to fix this tbh, im too inexperienced, sorry for having to stick around with me 💀

[prisma loom]

Thanks everyone for help! I'll credit ya in the mod if you dont mind @manic rune @normal crest

[manic rune]

if you want then sure ❤️

[normal crest]

I don't need to be credited

[ionic timber]

how does one save the stats of a joker when continuing a round (after closing the game for instance)

[next wasp]

guys where can I download Jens almanac

[olive moth]

okay so, i'm trying to make a joker that turns every Heart card the player has in the deck into a Gold card, then delete itself

i'll figure out the delete itself part later

am i doing the turn every heart gold part right?

[manic rune]

x:get_suit(), not x.get_suit()

[olive moth]

or did i get hit with godotbrain again

[olive moth]

oh, ty--

[manic rune]

also

that for loop is wrong

it should be:

for index,x in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
    (insert code here)
end

[olive moth]

oooooh

Holy Jojo's Bizarre adventure

[manic rune]

uhhh

they should already do that if we are talking about the ability.extra table

[olive moth]

(i'm making like, obvious syntax errors here, but every lua tutorial i looked at was either explaining nothing or speaking elvish, so i'm kinda trying to figure it out on the fly 🥲 )

[manic rune]

lel, its fine, i actually learnt lua from roblox studio

[olive moth]

ok, let's test it out

[chrome widget]

Oh hey, fellow JoJo modder

[olive moth]

:,>

[ionic timber]

hmm, I'm using config.extra

[manic rune]

huh

they dont save?

[ionic timber]

nope, for some reason they don't

[manic rune]

thats odd

[ionic timber]

like for example an infinite stacking x_mult in self.config.extra.x_mult doesn't save

[manic rune]

can you show me your code?

[ionic timber]

yeah I'll show you one example

[tall tangle]

What's the benefit of gold cards if they destroy themselves?

[hushed field]

even if you use card.ability.extra.x_mult ?

[tall tangle]

Other than potential vampire

[olive moth]

nono, the joker deletes

[tall tangle]

OHHHHHH

[olive moth]

it's like a convoluted consumable

[ionic timber]

oh, that works ? I might try it

if it doesn't I'll send the code

[tall tangle]

Makes sense. It's going to be a cheap joker, right?

[olive moth]

...it's a rare :,>>>

[hushed field]

if you're in the calculate function, you don't wanna use self.config, but card.ability, as that is the unique info that gets copied and changed as you play!

[tall tangle]

Oh well then just have it debuff itself instead of destroying itself.

Debuff until next round or ante so that it doesn't feel like a useless one-off, unless that's the entire point of it or you have synergies for it

[hushed field]

nvm, i don't think that was correct, haha

[tall tangle]

Seems to make sense to me

Do feel free to hit me with the "no, no I don't think I will"

[olive moth]

nah but like, there's nothing left for it to do when it's used, or at least it becomes almost useless

[ionic timber]

thing is, ability is considered a null field

so card.config maybe.. ?

[tall tangle]

Given that I know... ONE thing about what you're doing and not even the full scope of that

[olive moth]

it makes every card of a certain suit in your deck on proc

[manic rune]

well for one, you can make the suit change lol

[tall tangle]

So what procs it?

[olive moth]

(it was hearts but i changed it to diamonds since it makes more sense)

[hushed field]

hmm, that's very strange. Let's see the code, then, haha

[olive moth]

Boss blind win

[tall tangle]

Ah. Okay so that makes sense then.

[manic rune]

that seems more like an uncommon joker ability if anything honestly, unless you are providing jokers which support gold cards

[olive moth]

ok i'll explain the whole mod idea

[tall tangle]

So it's not "turns all diamonds in deck to gold cards and self destructs"
It's "upon beating a boss blind, turns all diamonds in deck to gold cards and self destructs"

[olive moth]

it's a mishmash of jokers based on random characters from various media

[tall tangle]

Because what I was seeing was an effect with no trigger.
You gotta pair an effect with a trigger.

[olive moth]

and this one joker is Sisyphus prime from Ultrakill

so the whole boss and gold thing makes sense

[manic rune]

ohhh i see

[ionic timber]

in a sec

[tall tangle]

My initial impression was that this thing takes all scored heart cards in one hand, turns them gold, then destroys them

Then you clarified it destroys itself

Then I was like well that's lackluster

Then you clarified it turns ALL heart cards gold.
(Or diamonds, whatever 😂)

[olive moth]

(triggers on boss blind because it's a boss, gold cards and diamond suit because he's connected to Hell's Greed circle)

[manic rune]

its diamonds actually

[ionic timber]

got an irl problem I'll be back in a few and I'll send it !!

[tall tangle]

That developed in course of conversation

[normal crest]

The ability table of a joker is automatically saved

[manic rune]

which makes it even more of an econ option considering that one uncommon diamonds joker gives $1 per scored diamond card

[olive moth]

i have 7 fridays in one week (adhd moment), sorry

xD

[tall tangle]

Diamonds are money themed

[manic rune]

mhm

[olive moth]

yes yes yes

[tall tangle]

Diamonds are money themed, hearts are xmult themed, clubs are +mult themed, and spades are chips themed.

[olive moth]

also i think if i make Minos prime, i can make him do something similar with Hearts (king of the Lust circle)

[manic rune]

sadly clubs and spades are really lackluster because of how scoring in balatro works

xmult is always better than both

[tall tangle]

We should get xchips for clubs

[manic rune]

chips is even worse than mult because you get a lot from planet cards already 😭

[tall tangle]

HEY LOCALTHUNK, PLEASE ADD OFFICIAL XCHIPS

Okay I'm good now

[manic rune]

it would be a bit too broken, i think

[olive moth]

REAL ❗

[manic rune]

since a hand can have 2000 chips while only having like, idk, 100-200 mult

[tall tangle]

laughs in Plasma

[olive moth]

i assume ezram is a bit cryptidbrained like me

[tall tangle]

Slightly

[manic rune]

cant relate with having to wait 5 hours for the game to calculate ❤️

[tall tangle]

Cryptid is too broken to take seriously, which is why it's called "intentionally unbalanced"

[olive moth]

genuinely, balatro is too unforgiving in some aspects and "ends" too soon

[manic rune]

1 in 8 for x1e100 mult 😭

[tall tangle]

Me when my steam deck takes 10 hours to play through the scoring animations at 2SPF (yes, seconds per frame) because I didn't skip scoring animations

[manic rune]

thats true, it really boils down to rng in all forms possible to see whether you can reach far

either that or you play someone else's seed

[tall tangle]

Pause

[manic rune]

because honestly, i cant see myself reaching ante 30+

[manic rune]

i will NOT pause

🗣️

[tall tangle]

😂

[manic rune]

in fact, let the seed touch the egg.

[tall tangle]

Welp, time to go abuse myself and my car for hours on end being an errand boy for people who tip $1 for 10 miles of delivery.

oof, good luck and have a good day too

yk what, now that i think about it

maybe my mod can be worse than cryptid

like deadass, is anyone gonna read this

💀

[olive moth]

NO PAUSES HERE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[olive moth]

what in the War and Peace

[manic rune]

dud you think thats bad?

heres a joker 😭

[olive moth]

(RRAAAARGHH I LOVE LONG COMPLICATED MECHANICS /gen)

also, quick question

[manic rune]

ye

[olive moth]

can you color text with colors other than the default "chips/attention/mult/etc"?

like, with rgb hex codes for example

[manic rune]

you can

i think the game uses HEX

[olive moth]

slaaaaaayyyy

[manic rune]

though you would need to use hooks

like this (neato jokers mod)

[olive moth]

oooooh

ty!

istg you're writing this code for me 😭

[manic rune]

np

[manic rune]

nah i just have a lot of mods to look at 😭

[tepid crow]

Bros actually recommending people to play honkai in the mod description

[ionic timber]

okay well you were right, card.ability does work wonders, but how to use it in loc_vars ? Do I just make self.config.extra etc etc copy the value of card.ability.extra ?

[manic rune]

no reason not to try it out ❤️

[olive moth]

i guess it'd be easier to play the game to get the jokers than to read the desc?

😭

[tepid crow]

Lol

[tepid crow]

My gf plays it way too much already 😭

[pulsar flower]

@wintry solar tried implementing something with unscored card calculation, unless i'm missing something it just crashes?

without the custom joker it also seems to audibly lower the unscored cards

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[olive moth]

ok so, you don't need the weird words like "attention" to reference colors, you can just write "red" too

stoopid me

[neat plover]

hey i tested your program with the blueprint but it when changing rounds, it crashes

here is the file

[wintry solar]

There’s no reason this would crash 🤔

Oh it’s probably because your lovely is old

[olive moth]

btw, the card

[pulsar flower]

just installed v0.7.1, same thing unfortunately

[olive moth]

i could've p-ranked P2 twice now if i was doing that instead of programming this, and i kinda suck at ultrakill :,>

[olive moth]

it crashes btw (bump)

[manic rune]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
      local cardPos = 0
      local other_joker = nil
      for i,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v == card then
          cardPos = i
        end
      end
      if cardPos <= 1 then 
        return 
      else
        other_joker = G.jokers.cards[cardPos - 1]
      end
      context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1
      context.blueprint_card = context.blueprint_card or card

        other_joker_ret.no_callback = true
        return other_joker_ret
      end
      context.blueprint_card = nil
   end

i fucked up the naming a bit

😭

SHOULD work now

[prisma loom]

in this line with what do I replace m_stone to make it check for face cards instead?

[wintry solar]

Strange, is the crash log still referencing chunks rather than files?

[manic rune]

i think theres something like :is_face_card()?

wait let me check

:is_face()

its :is_face(), which should return true if its a face card

[manic rune]

can u show me the code rq

[olive moth]

sure 1 sec

[minor magnet]

how do i make this display the correct values (not display everything as nil) without adding ALL tarot vars to specific_vars?

[pulsar flower]

still chunks

[manic rune]

ok so i might be dumb for asking this, but can cards actually be eternal?

thats new

[olive moth]

le entire code

[prisma loom]

legacy code from another mod ig

[manic rune]

x:set_ability

not x.set_ability 😭

but uh

[prisma loom]

like this?

[manic rune]

with that out of the way, hm

[manic rune]

no, i believe it is G.hand.cards[i]:is_face()

[olive moth]

HOL UP, THE SAME MISTAKE?

[manic rune]

oh im dumb for this

im so fucking dumb

you are supposed to do this, im sorry 😭

[olive moth]

ohhhhhh

dw dw

:,>

[manic rune]

i keep mistaking is_suit with get_suit for some reason

bruh

(get_suit doesnt even exist, i think)

[olive moth]

we're all kinda mindfogged here

[minor magnet]

bumping bc this is already buried

[manic rune]

so basically, x:is_suit("Diamonds"), and change the set ability thingy and it should be good

[olive moth]

dk about you but i bought it immediately because that's how you reference stuff in godot (gdscript is my brain's programming autopilot)

[wintry solar]

I’ll do some testing in my end shortly, what set up do you have to cause the crash?

[manic rune]

theres get_id() which is for knowing the rank of a card, so my mind autofills that with the suit

💀

[sturdy compass]

Bump again lol

[light gazelle]

Do you guys have any tips for getting started with modding our beautiful Balala

[manic rune]

i dont know about how the fool info_queue functions so im passing it to other modders, sorry :(

[sturdy compass]

Reading the SMODS docs and studying the source code

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

extract balatro.exe and read the source code, and feel free to research mods to know how to make things work ❤️

[light gazelle]

Thanks 🫡

[olive moth]

HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL IT WORKS

[hushed field]

if you store the key, you can basically request info from the P_CENTERS, right?

[olive moth]

@manic rune COME HERE I WILL KISS YOU /j /plat

[prisma loom]

Doesnt look like it since only 1 card flips and the rest of the code doesnt work (its wierd)

[sturdy compass]

But can you run a calculate off of a reference of a G.P_CENTERS reference?

[olive moth]

ok now to the card suicide...

[sturdy compass]

I would assume no

[minor magnet]

dont return inside the loop, only inside the event

[minor magnet]

im going insane does anyone know how this works using the base game method does not work

[prisma loom]

Its inside the event right?

[minor magnet]

fix your indentations but yes this should work

[hushed field]

not sure, and this is definitely above my confidence level when it comes to lua, but you can basically copy the config variables, and the calculate function, as it's a variable because of lua, and call it later, right?

[manic rune]

i think you can store stuff in G.GAME

[cursive flicker]

ive never used lua before, is there a reason its saying bracket at line 13 isnt closed?

[manic rune]

like

[sturdy compass]

Since calculate is a function of a Card object I’m not sure that you can

[manic rune]

G.GAME.randomstuffidk = 5

i can actually call this anywhere, and it seems it resets only when you start a new run

[cursive flicker]

im slow

[sturdy compass]

You can see my problem here lmao

[manic rune]

so for instance, if you want to store cards, you can make a table:
G.GAME.StoredCards = {}

then just add stuff in there for use

well thats my method, theres probably a bunch of better ways than that

[prisma loom]

Everything works now, thanks!

[hushed field]

functions are also able to be changed and passed around in variables in lua, iirc, but it's probably going to be a way bigger headache if you'd follow my suggestion. But wait, just checking your card again, it's the last bought card that gets copied? and the joker being copied needs to be present still to be copied, right?

[sturdy compass]

No, ideally the effect can still be copied, even if the card is not longer present since it still would have been “the most recently purchased joker”

[hushed field]

Hmm, I suspect that'd create bigger issues with the fact that some jokers check for positions on the joker area

[minor magnet]

dont look at medusa
she'll turn you to stonee

[hushed field]

like sacrificial blade and blueprint itself

Also, I don't know how much of an object remains stored when it's sold, and whether for example, you'd be able to still give score for the scaling jokers 🤔

[minor magnet]

last bump before i give up and explode the moon

[pulsar flower]

i managed to reproduce it with only my mod and smods loaded, have a joker that checks for context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored' and play some hand that contains unscored cards; notably, it doesn't crash if the joker calculation doesn't return anything or if all cards score

[sturdy compass]

I do like this idea of passing around the function as a variable though. I think I’ll try experimenting with that

[hushed field]

I'd check and see how it works with destroyed jokers, because I think the object's removed, so there's a bunch of variables like cardarea and such that can't get checked

[sturdy compass]

I see your point

[hushed field]

You could maybe solve that by creating a new card area that's an off-screen graveyard esque buffers that jokers can be stored in, so that they can be copied still, but it'd create some issues for sure.

Copying the most recently bought joker that's still owned should be a lot easier, if you just store the key and then find it again with next(findjoker('key')). Or if you wanna showman-proof it, just create a global variable that the most recent purchased joker is stored in

[prisma loom]

How to prevent this effect working on cards that already have edition?

should I add a new context?
