11 is faster to type than literal 'Jack'

[frosty dock]

base.value doesn't account for things like stones anyway

so get_id is more correct

[minor furnace]

doesn't get_id() just return card.base.id?

[limpid halo]

I check for numbered cards by just doing not card:is_face() and card:get_id() ~= 14

lololol

[strong jacinth]

Where do I get the card?

[manic rune]

or just card:get_id() < 11

which is pretty much the same thing, i think

[humble girder]

    if SMODS.has_no_rank(self) and not self.vampired then
        return -math.random(100, 1000000)
    end
    return self.base.id
end```

sort of

[limpid halo]

true but true

[manic rune]

nah but we dont question if it works

❤️

[minor furnace]

ah with the exception of stone and whatever the vampire interaction is

[limpid halo]

I think my idea was to have it so it supports modded numbers or smth but idk

[wintry solar]

Why exclude aces?

[humble girder]

usually a store sells packs of 52 french cards.
idk man give me some gosh darn context

[limpid halo]

A is not a number?

[manic rune]

is A a numbered card?

[wintry solar]

I’d say ace is a numbered card yeah

[manic rune]

...

thats new

[runic pecan]

It sould be.

[manic rune]

😭

[limpid halo]

Oh.

[humble girder]

excusez-moi?

[limpid halo]

Oh no

[manic rune]

damn

[minor furnace]

I'm gonna come back to this, because I would love to be able to figure out how to keep it at one enhancement, that just changes its base sprite depending on the suit

[strong jacinth]

Does this count as context

[manic rune]

that actually makes a lot of sense, honestly

[limpid halo]

welp time to fix that 😭

[manic rune]

A doesnt have a face, so obviously its not a face card

[humble girder]

dang, now i have to rename "numbered" cards is baliatro, great

[frosty dock]

the game really doesn't consider aces face cards or numbered cards

[minor furnace]

and this is more of an smods question than a coding question

[frosty dock]

as evidenced by the deck view

[humble girder]

i mean technically aces being numbered implies that cards are actually in at least base 11, not base 10

[humble girder]

card here is the joker being scored, and in context.joker_main there is no other card
are you possibly looking for context.individual in which case context.other_card is the card being scored?

[runic pecan]

Yes, this count as a context, but what number exactly do you want to turn into Xmult_mod?

[manic rune]

ngl im lowkey lazy as hell

i already added 11 jokers, and i have to rewrite most of its code

https://gyazo.com/1309974fc3fbaadd5b6a8ca871ca51f2

because of this 😭

[limpid halo]

Oh god

[humble girder]

so i'm looking at the SMODS api and i actually have no idea from the docs how the base id is spawned for custom ranks

[limpid halo]

Nice button though

[manic rune]

(description pages, basically)

[limpid halo]

I tried for a little bit to add a button and had a hard time

[manic rune]

thanks, N' and other pep helped me a lot lol

[humble girder]

i have a feeling card:get_id() might conflict across mods or be dependent on load order

[wintry solar]

Can the joker itself be the button instead?

[frosty dock]

that can't consistently be used, it's just in order of being registered

[manic rune]

in fact, 95% of my code is inspired if not straight up adapted from his code 😭

[manic rune]

huh

thats

[frosty dock]

you can use card:get_id() == SMODS.Ranks['key'].id

[humble girder]

there you go @manic rune, get_id() is vastly inferior to checking the value lol

[manic rune]

a good idea actually, but as someone who clicks on jokers for fun i think it can be annoying

though i would definitely add that as an option in the configs

thanks wizard :D

[limpid halo]

Every time you have to re-order the description changes page…

Or using any consumable on the homer

Joker

[runic pecan]

Would you like to show us the description you'd prepared for this joker?
That would help us understand the effect you want to achieve.

[manic rune]

mhm, theres that too, so i think while having the extra button means having to go through an extra step, its probably best this way

[wintry solar]

Or a keybind thet changes the page whilst it’s being hovered

I don’t think the back and forth is a good user experience

[manic rune]

oh thats good

[limpid halo]

Keybind + button = perfection

[strong jacinth]

The cards value, like how many chips it gives

[manic rune]

true, true, though its only 3 pages so its not THAT bad ❤️

[runic pecan]

So like A->+11, KQJ->+10, and number for number?

[manic rune]

at most 5 pages if i have to predict for my future updates

[limpid halo]

That’s so much 😭 why do you need that much text?

[manic rune]

it will certainly look better after this change though lol

[limpid halo]

O-oh

[strong jacinth]

Yes, exactly

[limpid halo]

I feel like you could also split this up into some info boxes

[manic rune]

it would flood the screen horizontally then 😭

adding the page stuff is definitely the best approach, as it allows me to add more mechanics to a joker without having to worry about it covering the entire screen

[runic pecan]

And what timing to you want to apply the Xmult?
When a card scores? Or after card scoring?

[limpid halo]

Yeah fair

[strong jacinth]

When card scores

[manic rune]

this, for example

this will definitely be the first joker to cover the screen if i were to go with the same approach 😭

[tall wharf]

that is a very long description

[manic rune]

yeah, but im adding pages to descriptions that you can scroll with keybinds/button

so it shouldnt be too bad now

[manic rune]

^ this is a demonstration

[tall wharf]

pagination for description is crazy

[manic rune]

i think Q and E should be fine for the keybinds?

i hope no mods conflict with that, somehow

or maybe i can just add custom keybinds

that should solve the problem

time to see how to detect keys

[crisp coral]

DebugPlus definitely uses either or both of those keybinds

[limpid halo]

I wonder how hard would it be to detect the description is being shown/rendered

[manic rune]

oh yeah, i forgot

[crisp coral]

one day we will have a keybinds menu and it will look exactly the same as a minecraft modpack

[limpid halo]

Controlling for balatro when

[crisp coral]

the uibox should be a child of the card

or just detect when the create uibox func is called

[tall wharf]

don't forget the until recently unrebindable narrator hotkey

[crisp coral]

. which version did they

[limpid halo]

Narrator - narrator on

[manic rune]

i have seen keybinds from mods which literally required a combination of keys 😭

[tall wharf]

1.19.4

[crisp coral]

add rebinds to narrator

[limpid halo]

Mfs be making the LinkedIn hotkey look like child’s play

[tall wharf]

narrator - narrates all

[runic pecan]

Then I'd suggest you to useif context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then local xmult = nil if context.other_card:get_id() == 14 then xmult = 11 elseif (context.other_card:get_id() <= 13) and (context.other_card:get_id() >= 10) then xmult = 10 elseif (context.other_card:get_id() <= 9) and (context.other_card:get_id() >= 2) then xmult = context.other_card:get_id() end if xmult then return {Xmult_mod = xmult} end endinstead.

[tall wharf]

narrator - narrates chat

[manic rune]

Typing Sound >

[tall wharf]

narrator - narrates system

please add sparkle to the star rail mod

[manic rune]

< Someone being shot and carried to a van so that they will be disposed of in a river

[manic rune]

i will definitely try my best to add all characters from the game lol

but for now, i will add all characters from v1.0 first

[strong jacinth]

Something near if...

[minor furnace]

How would I grab a specific atlas by name for this line?
card.children.front.atlas = _atlas

[runic pecan]

How does your code look like right now? Include the line count, please.

[strong jacinth]

Bad

[manic rune]

the context isnt supposed to be in the return

place all of it outside

(once again, absolutely diabolical circling)

[strong jacinth]

So like this?

[manic rune]

nah fr 😭

[manic rune]

mhm

you can remove the context.joker_main part

since theres no use for that rn

[runic pecan]

No, I wasn't talking about your circle.

[manic rune]

no, i know exactly what you are talking about

oh also

wouldnt it better if you use x_mult instead?

since i think if you use Xmult_mod, there wont be a message

or maybe there is, idk

[runic pecan]

SMODS handled that so that it's all the same. (As long as it's compatible.)

[manic rune]

oh i see

[strong jacinth]

Heh, this joker is very op

[manic rune]

it really is

[strong jacinth]

14 000 000 from a J to 8

[prisma loom]

So I create a table of Suits then I check scoring hand for any unique suits and add them to the table. Ig "local suits" is a number since we add +1 to it? So I just multiplied the scaling of the joker by the the number of suits in the table (I totally butchered it)

[strong jacinth]

Can this appear in shop?

And is there a SMODS autocomplete extension for vs code

[runic pecan]

This, but focus on Lua.workspace.library

[humble girder]

card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + (card.ability.extra.scaling * suits)
you're multiplying a table by a number here, this won't work

and you're returning in your for loop

[prisma loom]

But how can you add +1 to the table then?

suits[suit]

it is a number then

[limpid halo]

Pro tip: open your mods folder as your workspace, so vscode can see yours smods install

[humble girder]

i'm becoming increasingly confused

what exactly are we trying to do

give me the description of your joker

[prisma loom]

gains 0.05 mult per unique suit in played poker hand

[humble girder]

oh

[prisma loom]

sorry if I wasnt clear

[manic rune]

damn, this is convenient, KeyboardController has the exact thing i need rn lol

[minor furnace]

So, I know it reaches this line, but why does this not change the sprite for the card?

            print("club!")
            card.children.front:set_sprite_pos({x = 4, y = 5})```

[manic rune]

children.center

not children.front

[minor furnace]

ah

thanks, I'll try that

[manic rune]

i know that since i worked on a mod just for changing sprite automatically lol

[strong jacinth]

CanI see my Joker in the shop?

[minor gyro]

guys

I didn't update for a month cuz i was on a vacation
I was on 1326a
Now is in 1421b
Did calc change?

[manic rune]

i dont think so, unless 1326a counts as old_calc

[minor gyro]

wasn't old calc

at least in my time

[manic rune]

theres also xchips now

❤️

[minor furnace]

sure enough, it works!

[humble girder]

if context.before and not context.blueprint then
    local suits = {}
    for suit, _ in pairs(SMODS.Suits) do
        if context.scoring_hand[i]:has_suit(suit) then suits[suit] = true end
    end
    for suit, _ in pairs(suits) do
        card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.scaling
    end
    return {
        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')
    }
elseif context.joker_main then
    return {
        xmult = card.ability.extra.x_mult
    }
end

the two for loops can be merged

one sec

[manic rune]

brother is the suits guy 💔

baliame suits

[runic pecan]

Wait, so you only need to check if there is or isn't a suit, instead of how many there is with each suit?

[prisma loom]

yes

[humble girder]

if context.before and not context.blueprint then
    local suits = {}
    for i, other_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        for suit, _ in pairs(SMODS.Suits) do
            if other_card:has_suit(suit) and not suits[suit] then 
                suits[suit] = true
                card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.scaling
            end
        end
    end
    return {
        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')
    }
elseif context.joker_main then
    return {
        xmult = card.ability.extra.x_mult
    }
end

wait

i missed something

lmao

[runic pecan]

Then wouldn't you need a list of booleans instead of a list of numbers?

[prisma loom]

Ig so but could it be like counting the number of different suits in scored hand instead?

[humble girder]

fixed

[runic pecan]

Maybe like, counting how many trues in that list?

[strong jacinth]

2 questions. Can i change the sell value and how do i change the rairity

[prisma loom]

I think baliame just created what I've said

[humble girder]

the original suggestion went back to us not actually understanding what the intention was so we gave an overly generalized utility function that counts all the suits

[prisma loom]

I'm sorry😭

[minor furnace]

I think I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around the data structures, because I still do not fully comprehend what a 'center' actually is

[humble girder]

centers are prototypes for different things kinda

[runic pecan]

I think it can be trace all the way back to SMODS.Center.

[strong jacinth]

How do i create cards to hand?

(With a Tarot card, and how do i create one?)

[runic pecan]

smods/src/game_object.lua line:1011

[humble girder]

sec

it's is_suit, not has_suit

my bad

[prisma loom]

local othercard?

oh

[humble girder]

search balatro source code for self.ability.name == 'Cryptid'

[runic pecan]

SMODS.add_card({ key = 'c_world', area = G.consumeables})
c_world can be replaced with any tarot card's key.

[humble girder]

or use the SMODS convenience function which I never looked up exists

[strong jacinth]

I mean like a 7

Or a jack

[manic rune]

this is a function already in the game, right?

[humble girder]

create_playing_card is the function you're looking for but it's a vanilla thing so it won't hold your hand

[strong jacinth]

Wdym it wont hold your hand?

[runic pecan]

I would've suggest you to have a look at Familiar/Grim/Incantation code, but...

[minor furnace]

so why does this kind of assignment work for my custom sticker, but not for this enhancement?
card.ability[self.key].extra.suit = "Spades"

[minor gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/harvey-specter-suits-look-face-cool-gif-1011077770396773031

this suits guy?

[manic rune]

this looks cursed

[minor furnace]

egg

[strong jacinth]

How does gui work?

If there are any easy mods

[paper zealot]

It's a function of UIBox in ui.lua:

function UIBox:get_UIE_by_ID(id, node)
    if not node then node = self.UIRoot end
    if node.config and node.config.id == id then return node end
    for k, v in pairs(node.children) do
        local res = self:get_UIE_by_ID(id, v)
        if res then
            return res
        elseif v.config.object and v.config.object.get_UIE_by_ID then
            res = v.config.object:get_UIE_by_ID(id, nil)
            if res then
                return res
            end
        end
    end
    return nil
end

[minor furnace]

I do not touch the ui with a 50 foot pole

[manic rune]

...hm

[runic pecan]

So this is the code I mentioned.

[manic rune]

somethings wrong

https://gyazo.com/39777ee7fddbecc566021586e40fe476

why is that when i press "e" specifically, this pops up?

i basically adapted the code from KeyboardController so that might be it

but i cant exactly figure out why it pops out

[runic pecan]

Maybe something else was bound with E?

[strong jacinth]

Last question.

[manic rune]

...i have no clue myself

BalatroSR.config_tab = function()

those r the code

[strong jacinth]

How do I modify the discard times valure

[prisma loom]

Thanks for helping out! I'll credit you in the mod

[runic pecan]

Ctrl+Shift+F,
and then search G.GAME.round_resets.discards.
Or you can just use ease_discard().

[manic rune]

oh wait i fixed it somehow

seems like a valid keybind

[minor furnace]

apparently, the set_sprites() function in your SMODS.Enhancement{} is not called when you use a suit-changing tarot card on an enhanced card

[manic rune]

time to see how to detect keys pressed

shouldnt be too hard

i have to somehow find the part where it restarts when you hold R, where could it possibly be

that should give me a clue on how to implement this

[limpid halo]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Keybind does this not work?

[manic rune]

bruh

that exists?? 😭

yeah im dumb for not checking that first, thanks

[dreamy thunder]

ok so how would i add a use button for a joker with custom text? i know its done via patches but no idea on how to do it

[manic rune]

nope, you actually dont need patches

[dreamy thunder]

oh really?

[runic pecan]

If you want to modify it like Merry Andy, put G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards + card.ability.extra.discard_mod in add_to_deck, and put G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards - card.ability.extra.discard_mod in remove_from_deck.
And add ease_discard(card.ability.extra.discard_mod) and ease_discard(-card.ability.extra.discard_mod) under each of them.

[manic rune]

mhm, i did that without one

[limpid halo]

if you'd be willing to share sometime in the future

[manic rune]

i was carried by N' heavily, but i will try

[manic rune]

mhm, theres generate_ui in SMODS.Object

.

wait, wrong explanation

I MEAN

you can instead use hooks

[minor furnace]

it gets worse, because when you go to view the deck it doesn't even recognize the correct sprite to begin with

[manic rune]

this part is basically overriding how balatro adds buttons like "SELL" to cards, i think

[minor furnace]

how can it appear correctly in my hand but not in the deck???

[limpid halo]

ahhhh

[manic rune]

and this is the function stuff

i very much adapted joyousspring's code to make this (its a mod)

so i highly suggest checking that out

[dreamy thunder]

thank you

there goes a few hours of mine ig

[manic rune]

lel its fine

[strong jacinth]

Wait, where do i search?

[manic rune]

i was very lucky to be guided early on ngl

else it would have certainly taken me days, if not weeks

[runic pecan]

I think I might still need some rewording...

[manic rune]

i think it should be Mult instead of mult

[runic pecan]

Ctrl+Shift+F searches through every file in your workspace.
Which I should've specify to do that in lovely/dump

[minor furnace]

when in doubt, update the sprite every frame...
update = function(self, card, dt)

it's dirty but it works

[manic rune]

also, i think you should do "5" instead of five

since, uh, this (its 1, not one)

and theres no "." at the end of the description either

[dreamy thunder]

so what does this part actually do? i dont really know how uis work

[runic pecan]

As I've specified before, it's hard coded.

[manic rune]

oh, it adds buttons to the joker

[paper zealot]

I recommend profiling this with DebugPlus (Ctrl+P to show stats, Ctrl+V to start and stop profiling), it might have a pretty major performance impact

[manic rune]

for my case, its "SELL" and "SWITCH DESC"

[dreamy thunder]

oh i see

[dreamy thunder]

so the first part here removes the sell button and the ui function adds it back?

[manic rune]

...huh

[manic rune]

mhm

[minor gyro]

how can I retrigger jokers?

[manic rune]

the "else" part is basically ignoring all of those stuff if its jokers you dont want to add buttons to

[minor furnace]

am I just looking at the fps or is there any other value I should care about?

[manic rune]

you should have this line first, preferably at the top of everything

[dreamy thunder]

hm

[manic rune]

then you can do stuff like this

(just uh, dont mind the other context except for context.retrigger_joker_check)

[paper zealot]

Ctrl+P will show the time spent per-frame in different functions. Check without your update hook first, then again with it on to see if there's an obvious difference

[fresh swallow]

Been working on something.

[manic rune]

damn????

thats really cool!

[fresh swallow]

Planning on making balatro the electronic board game

[paper zealot]

Ctrl+V starts the profiler. Play the game for 20 seconds or so, move your card around, interact with things, then stop it again and check the console to see a table of how long the game spent in each function over the course of that 20 seconds. If your update hook is high on the list, it might be having a big impact

[manic rune]

we are adding this as a new update to the real life balatro 🗣️

[fresh swallow]

Expect a YouTube video to pop up in around 1-2 months once I finish the full prototype

[manic rune]

looking forward to what you will be doing from now on lol

thats really nice

[fresh swallow]

I have a lot to do with working out the scoring system but after that I should be fine.

[minor furnace]

thanks! I've never used those kinds of tools before so the explanation helps

[fresh swallow]

Total parts for it should cost around 40-60 to build without bulk pricing.

[manic rune]

so im guessing you can place cards onto something, then the sensors will start looking from left to right?

[paper zealot]

Is this using a little NFC tag?

[minor gyro]

bro wtf is that

ion remember this existing

[manic rune]

optional features lol

there r even stuffs like quantum enhancements

[fresh swallow]

Yes nfc stickers. Peep the bit architecture

[manic rune]

which allows you to add multiple enhancements to playing cards

[minor gyro]

since when did this exist?

[manic rune]

no clue either, i started modding relatively recently

lowkey want to make it so that you need to somehow hold B,A,L,T,R then finally press O for an easter egg

[runic pecan]

I guess and-chain every key is easier than setting up a sequence lock.

[fresh swallow]

Under the play surface there is a belt driven dolly that moves nfc read/writers under the cards giving us a massive amount of room for negative jokers

[paper zealot]

I don't see Stone cards here Found it!

[manic rune]

oh thats very cool

imagine being able to mod real life balatro tho 😭

[runic pecan]

@fresh swallow How would you handle tarot, planet, and spectral cards?

[manic rune]

im guessing there will probably be a zone where if you put a consumable card there, it will be detected and used

no clue how that would work with consumables that select highlighted cards and do stuff tbh

[paper zealot]

Oh of course, you have to write the changed states to the cards too. Awesome

Strength and Death might prove problematic

[manic rune]

honestly for strength

[fresh swallow]

Already figured out. Playing cards will be sleeves and you will have plastic inserts to change the card visually

[manic rune]

just replace a card with another card lol

[dreamy thunder]

looks like i lost the buttons entirely :b

[fresh swallow]

Not a problem. I have a seed system for that, you can change any card to any card without issue and it will retain the change until the start of the next game

[manic rune]

oof

[fresh swallow]

Visually you just use a dry erase marker on a layer under the sleeve

[manic rune]

its probably something to do with the create buttons function

[paper zealot]

Neat!

[manic rune]

ok but real quick, how would Cryptid the spectral card work?

[dreamy thunder]

time for some experiments

[fresh swallow]

You use the crytid card by laying it on the field, behind it you put the card you want to copy and 2 cards from the spare deck to turn into the first one

[manic rune]

oh, thats neat

ig for naninf strat you would need to buy 6 decks lol

...im actually surprised by how straightforward this is

but uh, wait

can key_pressed be changed?

[paper zealot]

Everything can be changed if you try hard enough

[manic rune]

i mean, if the stuff already loaded in then will it read the new keybind if it were to be changed

[manic rune]

the power of hooks and patches 🔥

but i really hope it will, else im gonna need to do some work here

[paper zealot]

Surely you could just iterate through SMODS.Keybinds to find the binding you're after, then change matched_keybind.key_pressed

[fresh swallow]

Perkeo will exist but the voucher that gives 1.5x for each planet can’t. It just not going to work for the way I am building it.

[manic rune]

i can see why, idk how you even put like 200 negative planet unless you do stuff like Cartomancer lol

(stacking consumables)

[fresh swallow]

The consumable slot is managed by the player not the computer, I did not want to have a 4th nfc reader/writer in the game board

[manic rune]

i see

[fresh swallow]

1# reads played cards, 2# reads jokers and 3# reads cards drawn off the deck

A 4th one would just be overkill

The game will only have 4 buttons needed to play it. Everything else is done by playing “Function cards”

Function cards are used to reroll shops/buy packs/skip blinds

[manic rune]

id honestly love to buy this one day, but since im in vietnam i doubt the shipping fee will be cheap 😭

best of luck to you tho ❤️

[dreamy thunder]

i still dont understand why its not creating the buttons

[runic pecan]

Sorry to interrupt, but which function handles speech bubbles?

[paper zealot]

Will you need a screen to indicate some of the random or chance-based events? Like Certificate creating playing cards, Idol and Ancient Joker's preferences, Hallucination creating Tarots, etc

[red flower]

code?

[manic rune]

is this how i do it?

[fresh swallow]

Yup built in 3 inch display to show details for certain event and to show the blinds/blind requirements

[dreamy thunder]

nvm im dumb as hell

got it

to work

[manic rune]

i mean, it certainly works, but if i change the keybind in the settings then it will still be the keybind when you initially opened the game

probably have to manually change this then

[fresh swallow]

Here is the display for money, ante hands and discards

[manic rune]

looks like my cable management

[fresh swallow]

Hands and discards are tracked by leds

The 3x seven segment bank is for money and the 2x is for ante

[red flower]

this?

[fresh swallow]

Cable management is an issue when every part needs 7 wires

[paper zealot]

That's awesome. Arduino-friendly LCDs just seemed too easy, clearly

[minor gyro]

I need to create a new file if i want to create a new rarity?

[runic pecan]

Not necessary, but kinda suggested.
It actually all depends on you.

[manic rune]

...or can i just make it so that you need to restart for the keybinds to reload themselves

hmm

[red flower]

cartomancer and handy have configurable keybinds i think

you can check the code for those

[manic rune]

oh sweet

[minor gyro]

huh

any mods that adds new raritys so i can take a look?

[manic rune]

thank

[runic pecan]

Cryptid~~, unfortunately~~.

[manic rune]

yeah uhh

cartomancer doesnt even use SMODS.Keybind, it seems

[dreamy thunder]

alright the button is there. How do i get it to actually do something?

[dreamy thunder]

rn im gettin a crash on press

[manic rune]

its this part

which you will be adding a G.FUNCS with that exact name, i think

[fresh swallow]

This is significantly cheaper to make. By large margins.

[dreamy thunder]

k thanks

tme for some more experiments

[fresh swallow]

That whole assembly display is like .50$ of parts

[minor gyro]

am I dumb or it should be here?

[paper zealot]

Oh, are you considering mass-producing this?

[fathom thunder]

Wtf this is gonna be peak

[manic rune]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[fresh swallow]

yes, I want to try approaching local thunk once I have a fully functioning prototype.

[manic rune]

Cartomancer does seem to support changing keybinds

[fresh swallow]

I am trying to make it cheap. 30ish-40 dollars to produce it

Retail estimate is somewhere close to 100$

There is a reason I am building it off of a super cheap chipset

Esp32-S3

2 dollars for the processor will be really good for keeping costs down. Just optimizing my code has been hell

[minor furnace]

the worst part is, this is correct

[minor gyro]

what's a good weight for a rare-er version of legendary? like mythical or sum

.001 is good?

[manic rune]

is that for the joker to spawn in the shop?

[minor gyro]

yh

I'll put .0005, so 1 in 2k

[paper zealot]

Saw you mentioning e-ink displays last year, was cost the main reason for going the paper-and-sleeves route instead?

[minor gyro]

cuz it'll retrigger all jokers lmao

[manic rune]

oh lol

thats probably reasonable enough, honestly

[fresh swallow]

It’s due to the cost of the e-inks along with refresh rate issues.

Would you like to wait 2 mins to discard and draw?

[manic rune]

cryptid experience

[nocturne garnet]

wtf you made quantum enhancements?!?!??!?!

does it actually like work for jokers or nah

[minor furnace]

this is the last part I need to patch in

[nocturne garnet]

ah

[minor furnace]

I spent so long getting the sprites to load correctly and writing the function to actually handle them

[fresh swallow]

The nfc stickers are actually the most expensive part of the game. You need around 320 of them. At .05$-.08$ a piece it really boosts the price by 20 bucks

And I am going with some of the tiny bit more pricy once to allow for more read and writes

[minor furnace]

but in theory making them compatible with rank-based jokers should be relatively straightforward, just tedious

[paper zealot]

Wow, why so many?

[fresh swallow]

2 playing card decks, 149 jokers, 80 sum arcana/spectral/planet/function cards.

Showman does not exist unless I sell more jokers

[minor furnace]

it's also not very computationally efficient but I streamlined it a little bit. Definitely not scaleable for certain kinds of custom hands

[manic rune]

how do i check if we r currently in a run?

i want to make it so that it will check highlighted cards when the key is pressed, but will it crash if you are not in a run

[paper zealot]

Makes sense that Showman would make things outrageous. Supporting almost every other feature of the game on paper sounds like a pretty insane goal, but it seems like you've thought through all the little details, which is awesome

[fresh swallow]

I would have to sell showman and blank cards that you use a function card to turn into the designated copy

[paper zealot]

Would love to see more of the development as it comes together, i love intricate electronics projects like this. Would you make a thread or a discord server for it?

[manic rune]

ok maybe this works

oh wow it does

[minor furnace]

all right, time to patch all the rank-based jokers now

[manic rune]

can i somehow do this to unhighlight a joker then highlight it immediately afterwards lol

[hushed briar]

    SMODS.ObjectType {
      key = 'Food',
      default = 'j_egg',
      cards = {},
      inject = function(self)
        SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self)
        -- Insert base game food jokers
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_gros_michel)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_egg)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_ice_cream)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_cavendish)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_turtle_bean)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_diet_cola)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_popcorn)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_ramen)
        self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_selzer)
      end
    }
end```
```if not SMODS.ObjectTypes.Food then
    SMODS.ObjectType {
      key = 'Food',
      default = 'j_egg',
      cards = {
          ["j_gros_michel"] = true,
          ["j_egg"] = true,
          ["j_ice_cream"] = true,
          ["j_cavendish"] = true,
          ["j_turtle_bean"] = true,
          ["j_diet_cola"] = true,
          ["j_popcorn"] = true,
          ["j_ramen"] = true,
          ["j_selzer"] = true,
      },
    }
end```
does anyone know why neither of these methods are actually adding these jokers to the pool

💀 good luck

[minor furnace]

thank you 🫡

[spring lantern]

how can i check if a specific joker belongs to a specific mod?

[manic rune]

HMMMMM

i have to somehow force the joker to reload its generate_ui

[minor furnace]

you might be able to parse its key and get the prefix

there's probably a better way though

[manic rune]

so that if i were to hover my mouse onto the joker and press the keybinds to scroll between pages

the new description will be loaded in

[minor magnet]

what ability could i give this joker?

i was thinking something to do with stone cards

[red flower]

you probably want card:hover and card:stop_hover

[manic rune]

maybe make it so stone cards now have a certain rate to destroy themselves upon played, and if they were, give bonus chips to the joker? like, +100 chips or something

[minor magnet]

oh thats a really cool idea

[manic rune]

oh theres that function? sweet, thanks

[minor magnet]

maybe "Scored Stone cards have a 1 in 4 chance to be destroyed, this Joker gains X0,5 Mult for each card destroyed this way"

[manic rune]

i was thinking it would be leaning a bit more towards chips, since stone cards give a lot of the

[minor furnace]

I think I'm going to define an is_rank() function that takes an array of accepted values, and then replace literally every rank-based conditional for the jokers with that

[manic rune]

maybe X(n) Chips instead?

[minor magnet]

mm yea but there's already stone joker for that

[manic rune]

wait why is there a double maybe

[runic pecan]

Go check SMODS.create_mod_badges in smods/src/utils.lua line:388

[minor magnet]

I don't really like XChips that much

[manic rune]

oof

yeah i suppose x mult is fine too

it helps stone cards build to at least have another source of mult gain lol

[minor magnet]

it's basically the same thing anyway

[minor magnet]

ya fr

i also thought of a Punk Rock joker, "Stone Cards also act like Steel Cards, Steel Cards also act like Stone Cards"

[manic rune]

oh thats cool

[minor magnet]

still gotta draw that one tho

this description is way too long

how do i shorten it

wait ok i have an idea

[spring lantern]

"1 in 4 chance to destroy scored stone cards" might be a bit shorter

[red flower]

this + "Gains X0.5 Mult for each"

[minor furnace]

This feels so much cleaner now
if self.ability.name == 'Fibonacci' and is_rank(context.other_card, {2, 3, 5, 8, 14}) then

vs

                context.other_card:get_id() == 2 or 
                context.other_card:get_id() == 3 or 
                context.other_card:get_id() == 5 or 
                context.other_card:get_id() == 8 or 
                context.other_card:get_id() == 14) then

[manic rune]

...this is why i hate gyazo

https://gyazo.com/b972af139980350bba777d593514deb9

❤️ hopping on obs for this one

[minor furnace]

The list of jokers I need to edit directly is actually much smaller than this, because I can patch Card:is_face() to fix all of the ones that only depend on that

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/yl68nz

it works now

[weak gate]

Is there a way to inspect what exactly is inside the shader name's variable? E.g.
what's inside extern PRECISION vec2 ionized;?
cc @wintry solar

[grim remnant]

stupid question, how do we do that thing where you can split your .lua into multiple files and load them all individually, like what cryptid does for its /Items folder? (forget EXACTLY what that was called but we're still in the "waking up" phase of our day ^^;)

[spring lantern]

it's thankfully pretty easy to do, just add this to your main script

the string is the file path to the script you want to load

[red flower]

thats very cool

[weak gate]

Oh, so I can paste into the debugplus console, that helps a lot

[manic rune]

thank you :D

[minor furnace]

Yeah it fixed all of these: Scary Face, Ride the Bus, Smiley Face, Photograph, Faceless Joker, Midas Mask, Business Card, Reserved Parking, Canio

[minor magnet]

how do you stop cards that don't exist anymore from appearing in your deck after destroying them in context.individual?

[worthy anchor]

hey dumb question but: boosterpacks all have a weight of .96. if i want a booster pack to show up less (or more) do i want that number bigger or smaller? which way does which lol

[manic rune]

bigger

oh, i mean

bigger = more common

[minor magnet]

smaller means shows up less

[manic rune]

less = rarer

[minor magnet]

ye

[manic rune]

my brain is lowkey shutting down half-way because of how much time i spent on one single feature 😭

[minor gyro]

huh that's funny

SMODS.Rarity {
  key = "cursed",
  badge_colour = HEX("474931"),
  default_weight = 0.0005,
  pools = { ["Joker"] = true },
  get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
    return 0.0005
  end
}

[wintry solar]

It’s this

[manic rune]

hmmmmmm

why is this the case?

[wintry solar]

You don’t destroy them there

[manic rune]

the code is correct, right?

[weak gate]

ionized.r, ionized.y, ionized.x - what are those? Is there more stuff inside the <shader name> object?

[manic rune]

r probably means rotation

while x and y are positions?

[wintry solar]

ionised.x/r is the first item in that table, .y/g is the second

[manic rune]

nevermind, i called loc_vars instead of loc_vars.vars

[wintry solar]

It’s just how you refer to the parts of the vector in the shader language

[manic rune]

💔

[wintry solar]

So the first value is to do with the rotation and tilt of the card, and the second is just a timer

[weak gate]

No one's fault but it seems that some of shader stuff is unnecessarily cryptic

[spring lantern]

okay so i'm trying to get the id of the mod that jokers added to deck are from, but i think i'm doing something idiotic instead

when a modded joker is added to deck it says no mod found

so that's not how you access the mod that a card is part of

problem is how

[minor gyro]

Should this be happening? cuz i don't think cryptid does anything different...

[red flower]

what's context.l6_joker_added

is it the joker card?

[spring lantern]

yea

i think

[red flower]

try context.l6_joker_added.config.center.mod.id

[spring lantern]

tysm!! it works

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/71exfs

[spring lantern]

i'm not very good at navigating the structure of a card and where to find values yet lul

[red flower]

i just printed the card

[spring lantern]

yay

[normal crest]

Okay this is way better than the gigantic wall of text

[manic rune]

fr lol

[spring lantern]

does SMODS.create_card not apply stickers on jokers by default? if so how should i do it manually?

i'm testing some booster packs and unless i'm getting crazy rng no stickers are being applied

also whoops

is there a way to force a perishable sticker onto a non-compatible joker

cos like no fucking way im gonna let this be how this joker works thats way too broken 😭

[neat plover]

how would i check if a certain card is discarded in the first dicard of round

[red flower]

G.GAME.current_round.discards_used let's you know the discards used

[manic rune]

@red flower sorry for pinging, but how do i reduce this gap?

[neat plover]

thats useful

[red flower]

reduce the padding value

probably in the column node

[neat plover]

how do then i check if a certain card is discarded

[tall wharf]

hsr compat would be funny

[manic rune]

this one?

[red flower]

probably?

[manic rune]

its 0.01, so im pretty sure thats pretty low already

(Node2 is that small text)

[neat plover]

y never know

[manic rune]

true

[red flower]

try the root padding

[manic rune]

oh sweet it works, thank

[neat plover]

i dont get it still

[manic rune]

the cards you discarded are G.hand.highlighted

its a table, you can use a for loop to go through it

and see if the card you are looking for is there

[red flower]

the card is context.other_card, you don't need a loop

[manic rune]

oh

im reading the stuff inside {} so im assuming from there 😭

[neat plover]

oh

the lua syntax still doesnt get into my brain

but i understood

[red flower]

the way to read it is
condtion to check to see if you're inside that context if context.discard then

This is true for that context:

context = {
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    full_hand = G.hand.highlighted,
    discard = true
    other_card = G.hand.highlighted[i]
}

[manic rune]

only the small text has MASSIVE gaps somehow

thats odd

[normal crest]

Whatstthe entire text config

[tall wharf]

i will add hsr mod compat for some reason

[manic rune]

im new to this ui stuff so theres definitely some bad decisions in there

[manic rune]

i actually tried my best to make the code as easy to modify and read as possible lol

[minor furnace]

my abomination of a card is now compatible with every single one of these jokers

[normal crest]

Look at what desc from rows is doing

[minor furnace]

I think this feature is done now, at least to the degree I want it to be

[manic rune]

like this one, which works like literal lego since you can tell it what it should buff, and it will do just that without any other changes

[runic pecan]

Is it possible to manipulate loc text colours using something like {C:#1#}?

[manic rune]

oh, i think someone actually did that here

[manic rune]

aight, lemme check rq

[minor furnace]

I was actually wondering this too

[normal crest]

{V:1}texr{}

[red flower]

you need to return a colours table in loc_vars and use {V:1}

[normal crest]

And in loc vars return a colours array inside vars

[manic rune]

hmmmm

[normal crest]

minh is set there

That's why

[manic rune]

oh damn.

yeah i figured it out now, thankz

[wintry solar]

You could attach them as the extra text for the elements above them

[spring lantern]

i require assistance

[wintry solar]

That would probably look cleaner

[valid leaf]

can someone help me with deckskins?

[normal crest]

card.ability.perishable = true and card.ability.perishable_tally = 5 or smt

Look at how the set perishable function works in card.lua

[normal crest]

The atlas in the palettes need your mod prefix

[spring lantern]

i mean i was told this was the right way of adding perishable but i guess it respects compatibility

[normal crest]

Yeah just manually do what set perishable does

[manic rune]

mhm, i will try that, thanks

[valid leaf]

It worked, thanks!

[spring lantern]

sweet thanks!

[minor furnace]

The formatting of my return is slightly off, but I'm not sure quite how
return {vars = {{G.C.SUITS['Hearts']}, center.base.suit}}

[normal crest]

vars = { colours = { ... } }

[minor furnace]

thanks 🙏

[neat plover]

is "G.GAME.current_round.discards_left" a thing?

[wintry solar]

You can use the functions smods provides to add stickers

[normal crest]

Does that respect should apply

[manic rune]

it is

[neat plover]

cool!

[wintry solar]

You can toggle if it does or not

[spring lantern]

oh shit

[normal crest]

oh that's convenient

[wintry solar]

I love undocumented functions 🥳

[paper zealot]

All functions are documented if you just simply read the entire codebase of Lua, Love2D, Balatro, Lovely and Steamodded

[proven marsh]

hi all
I have a question about the sound files
So I am trying to edit the abientFire sounds
I changed the first one to a short song. But it still plays the other fire sounds. Any idea how they work/play? In order? Randomly? or based on ur score?

[minor furnace]

this is still giving me attempt to index field 'colours' (a nil value)
return {vars = {colours = {G.C.SUITS['Hearts']}, center.base.suit}}

[fathom thunder]

for sure!

[spring lantern]

is there some kinda poll function for stickers?

cause my custom joker booster packs aint generating no stickers on gold stake

[normal crest]

This looks fine to me, what does your loc look like

[minor furnace]

        name="Omnirank Card",
        text = {
            "Can be used",
            "as any rank",
            "for {V:1}#2#{} suit"
        }
    },```

[normal crest]

Uhh I'm not sure what the problem could be

But #2# should be #1#

[red flower]

center.base.suit should go outside the colours i think

[normal crest]

it should, is it insjde

i can't read

[tepid crow]

it is inside

[minor furnace]

I thought it was outside

[tepid crow]

brackets are hard

[minor furnace]

I think it is outside? I might literally be blind though

[normal crest]

it looks outside to me tbh

[minor furnace]

of the brackets to the right of it, one bracket is to close the return, the other one closes vars

[tepid crow]

????

[red flower]

yeah i read it wrong

[minor furnace]

oh yeah you're right, that's how it works in The Idol's loc

I mean I could always forego the color and just change the text, but it would be nice to make it look pretty

[fathom thunder]

im gonna try this again except im just posting the entire lua file cuz idk what i could possibly be doing wrong

im trying to make a blueprint-like card that copies the ability of one of the jokers in your deck randomly at the start of a blind, works fine for cards that have a calculate_joker function but for a card like say wrathful joker it doesn't do anything, and idk what to refer to if not calculate_joker ive went through the entire balatro source code looking for anything brainstorm/blueprint related to see if i was missing something and im missing literally nothing, tried with the blueprint code straight from balatro, tried with the old blueprint code from cryptid, it's not doing anything for jokers without a calculate_joker function

[neat plover]

im love this so much

also first joker that took me less than a hour to make!!!

[minor furnace]

putting the formatting issue to the side for now, time to work on the Jokers for my custom enhancements

[chrome widget]

With SMODS, do jokers not receive their update function calls while in the collection?

[red flower]

just tried it, they do

[foggy carbon]

yeah, I have a joker who changes its sprite when you have a banana, and the joker does change in the collection

[lucid owl]

how are jokers with animations done? can you do that vanilla or should i try and use a separate mod/library?

[minor furnace]

I know it's in the default structure in game.lua, but does smods support enhancement_gate for custom jokers?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[tepid crow]

they do afaik

[minor furnace]

perfect

[neat plover]

https://github.com/noobertheabsolute/RefreshedDecks/tree/main

[chrome widget]

Huh, I'm not sure why I've consistently had problems with this, then

I'll have to debug, weh

It might just be that the default rendering code for card children doesn't run in the collection

Okay yeah, it receives updates, but dt is considered to be 0 because the game is paused and dt is gamespeed dependent

[red flower]

does G.real_dt work?

[chrome widget]

let me try

Yes it does! Thank you, that's what I was missing

[red flower]

yw I remembered that a some places in my code use dt or G.real_dt or 0

[orchid thunder]

what contexts do i use for a joker like hiker?

[chrome widget]

hiker uses context.cardarea = G.play and context.individual

I just implemented a joker just like that!

[lucid owl]

bump

[orchid thunder]

i dont need anyting else?

[chrome widget]

I don't believe so, no

unless you mean referencing the playing card being scored itself, which is context.other_card

[candid willow]

can someone show me an example of using take_ownership in a joker?

[strong jacinth]

How do you check which cards in hand

[zealous glen]

when

[candid willow]

like, say, to modify the behavior of a consumable?

[fathom thunder]

you could just try looking for a mod that has this sort of thing and check how its done via the source code

[foggy carbon]

IIRC you don't do take_ownership in a joker, but you can do it on a joker

[quartz ravine]

Hi guys, I've been working on a mod for a while and have some placeholder art (Warning! I made the art with AI). I'm interested to see if anyone would like to do some art for these joker / tarot cards I've added. If I'm in the wrong place, my apologies 🙂

[foggy carbon]

Also, I suggest you look at how Incantation (https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1262697083438235729) takes control of Periko

[quartz ravine]

Can you use the blueprint_compat = true, field

[minor gyro]

dummy dum here
I forgot how to localize the return
like, I want to make the "repetitions = 1"
Then it returns "Again!" bellow the card
I thought card = card would work

[wintry solar]

smods will handle auto messaging for you

[fathom thunder]

elaborate?

[quartz ravine]

You know, I looked at the code for blueprint and I am not sure how blueprint itself only attaches to cards with blueprint_compat, I thought it might be simple to pick a different card if one isn't compatible

So, @fathom thunder , looks like it isn't as easy as I thought, my bad

[normal crest]

blueprint_compat is merely a visual indicator

[minor furnace]

how funny would it be if flushes and straights could be played with one less card for every copy of four fingers you have

[normal crest]

Each card defines their blueprint behaviour by checking not context.blueprint

[minor furnace]

and on the other side of this, if the skippable gap in straights increased by one for every copy of shortcut

I need to stop having ideas like this

[fathom thunder]

the thing is, theres no reason it shouldnt work right? this is what it returns when i refer to the calculate joker function for the one that doesnt work yet it doesnt do anything

[normal crest]

every card has a calculate joker function

[fathom thunder]

yea thats the thing i thought it wouldnt work because some didnt have one when i checked the code but it does and it should work yet it doesnt

[normal crest]

Also when using debugplus to eval you can skip the print

[fathom thunder]

i see

[normal crest]

What's your code? Ideally a screenshot

[fathom thunder]

i sent the entire lua file here

[normal crest]

I'm on phone

[fathom thunder]

oh i see

ok gimme a second

the entire thing besides the atlas above it

[normal crest]

you're only copying inside the joker_main context

So you're only coyping the joker_main effect of other jokers

[fathom thunder]

ah

[normal crest]

And you seem to have removed the setting context.blueprint and blueprint_card to nil after calling calculate

[fathom thunder]

yea

[normal crest]

If you want blueprint behavior you should literally copy the blueprint code in the base game as is

And the only difference would be what joker it decides to copy

[fathom thunder]

it works now tysm

i completely overlooked the context lmao

[normal crest]

also I wouldn't recommend saving an entire joker within your card's ability

that might cause issues when saving and loading a run

[humble girder]

might = will

[fathom thunder]

yeah i already ran into that so thats a thing im gonna have to fix now

[humble girder]

it either crashes on save or doesn't load properly

[lucid owl]

how do you guys version releases of mods? for a release adding 5 jokers to an existing 5, would that be a v2 type thing or a v1.1?

[normal crest]

look up semantic versioning

[red flower]

I do [major breaking changes or refactoring].[content additions].[bug fixes].[hotfixes]

[normal crest]

that's pretty much it yeah

[lucid owl]

makes sense, thank you!

[fathom thunder]

how am i gonna save what joker it copies in this case then cuz saving and loading works fine but once i restart the game it doesnt save the joker
i tried getting the joker again via checking if copying isnt none and other_joker is nil to get the copied joker again but that didn't do anything

[strong jacinth]

What's the joker size again

I forgot

[fathom thunder]

because all copying does is just store the name of the copied joker

or wait maybe i could store the index of the copied joker?

[cloud anvil]

does anyone know how to make it so a texture pack only uses a certain joker(s) instead of the entire sprite sheet?

[red flower]

I would store the index

[normal crest]

How do you handle the joker being moved tho

[orchid thunder]

why is this not patching

[red flower]

hooks 🙂

[scarlet spire]

I'm making a new card back, how would I remove specific cards from the deck entirely? stuff like abandoned deck seems to be hard coded with a built-in no_faces setting, but I'm not sure how i'd remove specific suits from the deck

[normal crest]

I think you can mark the copying joker with a prefixed flag in its ability

like other_joker.ability.modprefix_copied = true

and just ensure the flag is removed

you might still want to patch into copy_card in that case tho

and make sure that flag is never copied

[red flower]

how would you differentiate between different copies of the blueprint joker

or do they all copy the same thing? I didn't read what the ability was

[normal crest]

i guess you could go down the path of they all copy the same one

[quasi dune]

is malverk able to replace playing card textures, or do I still have to do that the old way?

[normal crest]

or you could add something like, always copies the leftmost joker with this flag

[red flower]

what about always copying the joker to the right or the leftmost joker

that would be really easy

[fathom thunder]

multiple of this joker dont copy the same thing (they have a chance to tho)

[normal crest]

yeah that would be easy

let's go with that

i guess you could assign a unique id to every copy of your joker at birth and then mark the copied joker with that id

[red flower]

If you don't care about the specific joker you can always store the key

[grim remnant]

stupid question but we couldn't find this anywhere in the source, is there a v:is_suit equivalent for specific ranks? we did find context.other_card:get_id() == 2 but that's not quite the same.

(for context, we're trying to make a card that, at the start of calculations, sums up the ranks of all the cards you played in-hand, a-la a blackjack.)

[normal crest]

are you summing up the chip value of the rank

[grim remnant]

not chip value, the actual rank. otherwise, hiker could influence it, and that would be no bueno.

[normal crest]

hiker's chip value is separate from the rank's chip value in the code

if you want to get a card's rank's chip value do card.base.nominal i believe

[fathom thunder]

what would i have to hook into to get a joker's updated index after being dragged around

oh i think literally just update

[red flower]

Card:release probably

[grim remnant]

out of curiosity, would this even be something worth making a for loop for, or is there a far easier way to sum up the results of card.base.nominal from the scored cards?

[normal crest]

i don't know how you'd make that easier but

it's not worth thinking about

at least not until it's a finished joker

premature optimization and all that

[strong jacinth]

Idk if it counts as modding but is tjere any code difference between balatro on windows vs android

[normal crest]

i know android doesn't have the buy buttons on the cards and stuff

[scarlet spire]

there seems to be very little documentation on card backs in general, does anyone know how i'd do this?

[normal crest]

and you need to drag them to a certain area

[frosty dock]

yeah, there's differences. discussion of modding on mobile isn't allowed here though, so anything further you might want to move somewhere else

[normal crest]

backs have an apply function that is run at the start of the run I think

you can remove the cards you want manually

[orchid thunder]

anyone know how i can add perm xmult

[normal crest]

just make sure to properly remove them so that you don't generate ghost cards

[proven marsh]

sup

any1 know how the ambientfire sound works

[autumn coral]

what do y'all use for testing shaders

[proven marsh]

im trying to replace it but i want to know in what order it plays

[weak gate]

what's this pool_opts.allow_duplicates in smods? it doesn't seem to be actually used anywhere other than in this lovely patch in smods

[normal crest]

that is something you can return as the second value on your in_pool function

it will dictate if multiple copies of it can exist at the same time

[frosty dock]

it makes the card act as though showman were always present

i.e. multiple copies of it can exist at the same time naturally

[grim remnant]

we're 100% checking for rank & incrementing our sum variable wrong, played 3 5s and it returned 0 when it should be 15. (as of right now, it's not checking other cards, but that's on purpose until we can get it properly incrementing.) what're we doing wrong here?

[wintry solar]

you don't have a context.other_card there

[weak gate]

I see... The thing is I've made a pokermon submod, that adds a deck that allows duplicates; but from testing, it seems that it's enabling duplicates in ANY deck. Ideas?

version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 10

#Letting the hordedeck give repeated pokemon; smods also changes this line
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = 'elseif not (G.GAME.used_jokers[v.key] and not pool_opts.allow_duplicates and not next(find_joker("Showman"))) and'
position = "at"
payload = '''
elseif not (G.GAME.used_jokers[v.key] and not pool_opts.allow_duplicates and not next(find_joker("Showman")) and not G.GAME.selected_back.name == "hordedeck") and
'''
match_indent = true

a few testers believe they've seen repeated pokémon in any deck when using my mod. I'm not sure how... but it's a somewhat confusing code, what with the double negations

[grim remnant]

...gonna need a clarification, because there is one on line 396--is there meant to be another one elsewhere? :o

[wintry solar]

no it doesn't exist

[autumn coral]

no but actually tho i'd love like a tool to test a card shader

[wintry solar]

you can use debug plus watch commands

[grim remnant]

if context.other_card:get_id() == 5 then sum = sum + 5 end --shamelessly copied from Hack (doesn't seem to work?) ?????

[wintry solar]

context.other_card is not a thing in joker_main

[grim remnant]

oh. that makes substantially more sense.

[weak gate]

yep, in debugplus watch shader Mods/MyMod/Assets/Shaders/myshader.fs(unless the location is very different for your mod)

[wintry solar]

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

[autumn coral]

wait where do i run this

just in the console?

[wintry solar]

please please please familiarize yourself with this document

[autumn coral]

for a second i thought u were talking to me

😭

[normal crest]

yep

[wintry solar]

the shader stuff yeah you just throw it in the dbp console

[autumn coral]

oh ok sweet

no yea i meant the calculate stuff

how do i apply the shader to a card btw by default

[wintry solar]

you have to patch Card:draw

well actually that depends on if it's just one card or not

[autumn coral]

like for this specific joker

yea

[wintry solar]

you can give it a draw function in your definition

[autumn coral]

oh?

uh

are there examples

sorry i don't fw shaders often lmao

[wintry solar]

draw = function(self, card, layer)
        card.children.center:draw_shader('voucher',nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader)
    end

like this

[autumn coral]

if my shader was called tmtrainer would i have to import it somewhere as well i'm assuming?

[wintry solar]

replace voucher with your shader key

[autumn coral]

do i import it at a high level

like main script

sorry if this is a stupid question

[wintry solar]

you use SMODS.Shader

[autumn coral]

ah

[wintry solar]

I think the docs for it are on the edition page

[autumn coral]

crying i love when things are undocumented

cool

i see it

thanks

[grim remnant]

okay. since other_card isn't an option in joker_main, what is an option for tallying the card.base.nominal values of the cards played in the hand? tried scoring_hand and it didn't do anything, which. we assume that's tied to the type of hand played, so, that makes sense.

[normal crest]

scoring_hand is a list of scored cards

[grim remnant]

wait, that would be like, the thing to check then, wouldn't it?

[shadow rapids]

calculate it in context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual, and store it in card.ability.extra to be retrieved in context.joker_main

[autumn coral]

?

there is a nonzero chance i fucked this up but like

[normal crest]

yeah I got that same thing when I did watch shader, but it was after I clicked a button

no idea what it's about

[autumn coral]

no i haven't even done anything yet

i defined it and put the draw function in

[normal crest]

What's your shader definition and draw function

[wintry solar]

don't do this

[autumn coral]

nah i think i got it

uh

nope

this shit is flying directly over mty head into the twin towers

[normal crest]

!!

[grim remnant]

ohhh... 9/11... /ref

[wintry solar]

you need your mod prefix

[autumn coral]

oh

on which one

[wintry solar]

the draw

[autumn coral]

the draw isn't the problem- i already did that

[wintry solar]

oh

[autumn coral]

i mean i could try again

[wintry solar]

the path needs the file extension

[grim remnant]

wait, why not?

[autumn coral]

that's the opposite of what the wiki says

but i'll do it

wiki is stupid

thanks

[wintry solar]

because you can do it all in joker_main, there's absolutely no need to use the individual context, you aren't affecting cards individually

[wintry solar]

that line should probably be rewritten, it means that the name of your shader within the shader file should be the same as the name of your file without the extension

[autumn coral]

yeah

[normal crest]

if you did it like that, your joker would sum each time a card was scored

[grim remnant]

wait, isn't that the entire goal? since the plan is to sum together every scored card in the hand according to blackjack scoring. (obviously, once the hand is done, the sum is then reset to 0, as otherwise that'd be. confusing.)

[normal crest]

if you want to consider repetitions sure

[grim remnant]

like, including retriggers?

[normal crest]

yes

[grim remnant]

honestly making it so retriggers count for this would be so astronomically stupid that it kinda overflows back into being hilarious. smuggling a score of 20 by playing a 5OAK of red seal 2s.

[normal crest]

and that's exactly why you don't want to use context.individual

just count it in joker_main by looping through scoring_hand like you initially thought

[orchid thunder]

Why is this not working i dont understand

[grim remnant]

wait, use scoring_hand if we do want retriggers to count, or if we don't? because honestly when we put it like that we think retriggers counting might be entirely in the spirit of things

[normal crest]

If you want retriggers to count use context.individual

[autumn coral]

oh my god shaders make my head want to explode

what the fuck is this shit

[scarlet spire]

got the card removal working, but hmm

shouldn't this give a random suit from smods.suits?

I'm trying to randomize the suits of all remaining cards, but not the ranks

[hot island]

im sure theres somewhere else i can find this information but is anything actually random in this game? like if i played the same way on the same seed with everything unlocked on both devices would it always turn out the same way or are there some fully random things

[normal crest]

does this crash, do nothing or smt else?

[scarlet spire]

doesn't crash, console spits out this

[normal crest]

Ah

[scarlet spire]

suits are weird, and I'm not sure what's up with the ranks because it should be one of each rank

[whole hornet]

i finally got my mod to work and have been working hard on it. but now im a little stuck

[normal crest]

the issue here is you're getting a table with information about the suit

[whole hornet]

is there a way to see what the next card in the deck will be?

[normal crest]

you need to access the key of the suit

[whole hornet]

the key?

[normal crest]

I was replying to Wheat, idk how to do what you're asking

[whole hornet]

oh, darn

[normal crest]

I heard someone mention a mod that does that already

[whole hornet]

im probably going to have to look through the source code then

[whole hornet]

perfect

[hot island]

{string = 'rand()', colour = G.C.JOKER_GREY},{string = "#@"..(G.deck and G.deck.cards[1] and G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].base.id or 11)..(G.deck and G.deck.cards[1] and G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].base.suit:sub(1,1) or 'D'), colour = G.C.RED},

heres what misprint uses

[whole hornet]

i would love to see how they did it

[normal crest]

Oh nvm it was misprint yeah

[scarlet spire]

oh yeah I was just about to say, look into what misprint does

[whole hornet]

im such an idiot, i can use misprint lol

[normal crest]

That's easier than I thought

[whole hornet]

fr

i wonder if i can see if it has any modifiers on it or not.

ill figure it out

ill just put the value into a variable and use that

[hot island]

G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].ability.effect?

[scarlet spire]

okay yeah this worked, adding .key to the end of the pseudorandom gives me what I'm looking for, thanks

[keen coral]

currently trying to replicate Midas Mask's "played face cards become gold" except make the cards wild. referencing Midas Mask's function, i see v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold) . there is no version of G.P_CENTERS.m_ that accounts for wild cards. will i have to create a G.P_CENTERS myself within the function, or is there a simpler way to make a card change its enhancement when played?

[hot island]

m_wild?

[whole hornet]

is there a way to run a test with the joker im working on?

[plush cove]

DebugPlus

Open a new game, find the Joker in your collection, press 3

[whole hornet]

is that a mod

[normal crest]

yes

[plush cove]

Yep

[whole hornet]

pog ill look for it

[autumn coral]

oh dude i'm going to overdose on painkillers before i get a single shader done

i'm gonna take a break from this for a bit lmao

[keen coral]

there is no m_wild unfortunately :( ateast not when ctrl + f 'ing for it in the game's source code.

[hot island]

there definitely is

i ctrl+fed through the source and found it there

well ctrl+shift+f

through the full source

[plush cove]

check lovely/dump instead of the raw balatro source code

smods makes a few changes to it

[keen coral]

LMFAO rly?? no way, lemme try again

[grim remnant]

okay, that's confusing. for whatever reason, when multiple different ranks are being calculated, like a full house or a straight, the math sometimes just does not math correctly. for instance, a full house of 2 9s and 3 7s, which should be 39, totalled to 35. what the heck are we doing wrong here?

aside from. y'know. The Obvious Optimization Issue, but we're trying to get it functioning first.

[keen coral]

oh there's a lovely dump? is that on the smods github?

[plush cove]

Mods -> lovely -> dump

[hot island]

game.lua 649

in the normal game source

[normal crest]

remove the for loop, context.individual is already called once for every scored card

[keen coral]

yup, found it. does it matter that there is no "G.P_CENTERS.m_wild" in base game?

[normal crest]

but there is...

[hot island]

it is in the base game

[normal crest]

in game.lua

[keen coral]

ah, must be misunderstanding what G.P_CENTERS does then. ok, ty!

def gotta move to the dump, that'd make this way easier LOL

[plush cove]

please replace your if elses with this

[normal crest]

if you want an explanation of what is going on, context.individual is being called once for every scoring card (retriggers included) for each card you're setting the sum to 0, then for every card in the play area (scoring or not) you're adding its value to sum, then assigning that sum to your card

So essentially, your sum will be the last scoring card's value multiplied by the amount of played cards

[normal crest]

this doesn't take into account modded, do context.other_card.base.nominal

[grim remnant]

having removed the for loop, now it only seems to care about the very last card scored?

[normal crest]

yes read the explanation above

[plush cove]

i was mainly just aiming to get rid of all the if statements LMAO

also how does base.nominal work?

[normal crest]

that'd be the chip value of the rank

[normal crest]

yeah, ideally you also check if it actually has a rank

[grim remnant]

we mean, it's still doing that even after removing the "sum = 0" line altogether, unless it's doing that because of the declaration of the local variable "sum"? (also sorry we haven't inserted the one elseif replacement, we're trying to figure out this first)

[plush cove]

ace has the ID of 14 not 1

[normal crest]

once again, context.individual is called once for every scoring card (retriggers included)

i don't want to just give you the answer, just try to understand what's going on

[languid rune]

Hey all! So I'm making a mod and just winging stuff by reverse enginerring the balala code. Are there SMOD docs and is there a way to lint using the SMOD classes n stuff for type hints?

Cuz I'm boutta 'splode

[normal crest]

there is a wiki in the github repo for SMODS, as for type hints... you won't get any unfortunately

[languid rune]

😭

[plush cove]

there is a pull request for lsp_def though

[normal crest]

oh?

maybe look at that then

i wasn't aware

[languid rune]

Thank you though love docs ❤️

[plush cove]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/tree/lsp_definitions

ofc the SMODS version isn't up to date, but I just downloaded the lsp_defs folder and put it into my version

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/399

(although workspace.disable should be diagnostics.disable)

[edgy reef]

whoops

[grim remnant]

we mean, the answer is obvious, remove the local sum = 0 step and put it elsewhere, since putting it in if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then means it's constantly setting sum = 0, right? but then, where exactly do we put it?

we tried removing the sum local variable and just using card.ability.extra.sum, which does MOSTLY work... but now, it doesn't actually properly reset the value at all, so it just increments forever; even with a card.ability.extra.sum = 0 call at the very end of scoring. what's up with that??

[normal crest]

okay it looks like you basically got it

[grim remnant]

wait is that meant to go out of the return

[normal crest]

before returning, save what the sum is in another local variable

[grim remnant]

(the card.ability.extra.sum = 0 i mean)

[normal crest]

then set the card's one to 0

[whole hornet]

so im looking through the code, and sorry im new to this. what does cost_mult do?

[normal crest]

No idea

do you need it for something

[whole hornet]

nope

just wondering

trying to get a joker to just add mult

[normal crest]

What do you have so far?

[whole hornet]

kinda basic but im teaching my self as i go

    key = 'Clint', --atlas key
    path = 'clint_joker.png', --atlas' path in (yourMod)/assets/1x or (yourMod)/assets/2x
    px = 69, --width of one card
    py = 93 -- height of one card
  }
  
  SMODS.Joker{
      key = 'Clint',
      loc_txt = {
          name = 'Clint Eastwood',
          text = {
            'Gain {C:red}Mult{} equal to the {C:blue}value{}',
            "of the next {C:attention}card{} in the deck.",
            "{s:0.7}''The future is coming on,",
            "{s:0.7}It's coming on, it's coming on''"
              } 
      },
      atlas = 'Clint',
      pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
      effect = "Mult",
      cost_mult = 1.0,
      config = { extra = 
        {
          mult = (G.deck and G.deck.cards[1] and G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].base.id or 11),
        }
       },
      loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = center.ability.extra.mult}
      end,
      calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
          return {
            card = card,
            mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
            message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.mult,
            color = G.C.MULT
          }
        end
      end
     }

i got it to do Xmult

but i realized i wanted to do just normal mult

[normal crest]

all you have to do to give mult, xmult, chips, xchips, or money is

[whole hornet]

yeah

im close

[normal crest]

return { mult = x } where x is whatever you want
