[tepid crow]

though 1/[2-10] for a legendary seems... insane on a common joker

[west mason]

i had it on common just to see it in the shop more often while testing

[broken cliff]

an idea: check if blueprint is in hand

[frosty dock]

that makes no practical difference

in a completely uniform distribution, the probability of hitting a number exactly is zero. This isn't exactly uniform, but the precision is high enough that it's still negligible

[grim remnant]

we mean, the check is already in the code, but it's not the relevant part so we didn't show it. everything else works except for the "trigger 3 times" aspect. (Unless we woefully misunderstood this message)

[tepid crow]

does spawning it in using debugplus not work?

[broken cliff]

maybe this will help?

i feel like context.no_blueprint might not exist at all

[grim remnant]

will try that & if it doesn't work ig i'll circle back to it <-- abt to head out the door

[west mason]

no yeah it works, i was just checking how it looked when you found it naturally in the shop

i plan for it to be uncommon and to require 4 or 5 rounds until it triggers

idk if thats good balance

[tepid crow]

ah yeah that sounds a bit more reasonable; though 4-5 rounds is a lot haha

compared to e.g. invis' 2 rounds

[grim remnant]

post_trigger did not work, at least not the way we used it. gonna look into that later. ;P

[atomic edge]

is there a context that checks if any lucky effects have triggered?

[wintry solar]

You can throw it in a loop and use the calculate effect function yourself

[hushed field]

If I start messing with the probabilities of Lucky cards, how much compatability problems would that potentially cause 🤔

[broken cliff]

prob 0 if ur doing lovely patches

or editing global probability

like oops all sixes

[atomic edge]

does anyone know?

[hushed field]

I just felt that other mods may mess with lucky card odds already, haha. I guess it's a quick patch then 😄

[strong jacinth]

What do you guys think of making "Balatro" UI online? SO you can test UI elements online, Like put a box, But text and so on

[strong jacinth]

But no Gameplay!

[tall wharf]

i love rhythm game

[hardy viper]

i think it would be more doable to make a standalone love2d game that just renders balatro ui elements

[broken cliff]

this might fit

[strong jacinth]

Thats what i mean, like a balatro screenshot that renders balatro ui elements

But no "Gameplay"

[broken cliff]

so basically a ui tester

[strong jacinth]

Basically

Yes

[tall wharf]

i will go insane

[hushed field]

I'd dither a bit less with the shading, and first try to just do some polygonal shading, then add detailing to that. Though I'd say that already looks pretty good

[manic rune]

skyblock

[tall wharf]

not skyblock😭

[manic rune]

oneblock

[tall wharf]

i am truly going

insaen

[manic rune]

looks the same to me

[tall wharf]

😭

[manic rune]

ive been rewritting my code for about 5 hours today

[tall wharf]

wtf is that photoshop job

[manic rune]

if it werent for N' help (once again) then i wouldve been here for a couple more DAYS

[manic rune]

tbh theres a mod to break like, pixels, they shouldve used that instead ngl

[tall wharf]

chisel n bits

[manic rune]

mhm, that

[grim remnant]

so like, wait, with the code we already shared, would it be something like if other_joker_ret then for (variable tracking retriggers) > 0 do (and then the rest of the blueprint copying code)? though y'know. not in a pseudocode mess.

[strong jacinth]

What do yall think of the idea of an ui tester

[red flower]

i think it would be great

[strong jacinth]

I hope that you aren't ironic (or sarcastic). But isn't that ridiculously hard to make?

[red flower]

Probably not ridiculously hard but it would take a bit to make it

And I don't know how many people are messing with UI
I am so it would help me

[maiden river]

is there a way to check which deck is currently being used at the start of the run?

[manic rune]

you would have to manually carry everything ui-related from balatro source code, im guessing

[lethal mural]

this crashes with "attempt to compare table to number" why tho

[red flower]

talisman turns the dollars value into a table

[lethal mural]

shid

how do i modify it then

[red flower]

usually you would make a dummy to_big function that turns your numbers into talisman's representation but I don't know if that works with math floor

[crystal perch]

hey quick question how do i get the player's current amount of money and set that to a local var to compare to?

[red flower]

G.GAME.dollars

[crystal perch]

thank you

[onyx sonnet]

Trying to figure out how to create a joker that functions similarly to To Do List
I tried to blindly guess the poker hand to see if its only an issue of the localization not picking up on the variables but nothing has worked so far, and when it "Resets" to a new poker hand it adds the reset popup to everything

[strong jacinth]

Would you want to help me?

[humble girder]

👀

[strong jacinth]

It's okay if no, but to make this happen i'll probably need a team

[red flower]

no, sorry

[lethal mural]

even without math floor it still

crashes

when doing to_big on it

[manic rune]

you should use {X:mult,C:white} for xmult

[onyx sonnet]

Is that whats causing the issue?

[manic rune]

nope, it looks better that way tho❤️

[onyx sonnet]

Doesnt really matter since the joker cant multiply because it doesnt work

[manic rune]

oh also

wheres your loc_vars?

[red flower]

1. you need a loc_vars function for the localization

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

2. you need to use context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[onyx sonnet]

oh, i was under the impression they used the config vars

thanks

[manic rune]

imagine getting the needle though?

[humble girder]

it's all a possibility

[red flower]

you need to do to_big to the number that's multiplying

[manic rune]

we love gambling

[humble girder]

well, except serpent

[manic rune]

oh, also

[humble girder]

and wall and vessel, for obvious reasons

[manic rune]

the "+1 joker slot" part

[lethal mural]

?

[manic rune]

doesnt it seem like the contract has no upsides to having it in your jokers area?

[humble girder]

the edition is quasi-negative

so it's a net +1 slot

[manic rune]

i feel like that should be specified

[red flower]

try both then maybe?

[humble girder]

it is, sec

[normal crest]

the problem is the math.floor part

[onyx sonnet]

do i do this inside the calc function or before it

[manic rune]

before

[normal crest]

I am pretty sure talisman's bignums automatically handle multiplying by a non bignum value

[manic rune]

"wtf is this circling work" pt 3

[lethal mural]

pretty sure it still crashed without math.floor

[onyx sonnet]

ty!

[lethal mural]

but ill try again

[normal crest]

Was the crash the same without math.floor

[red flower]

maybe it doesn't like returning big num

[lethal mural]

i believe so "compare table with number'

[red flower]

in calculate

[normal crest]

yeah it's looking like that

but that'd be weird

isn't that like the whole point

[normal crest]

try making a to_number function the same way you made a to_big one

and pass to_number(G.GAME.dollars * whatever)

[onyx sonnet]

it seems like the joker never actually changes the poker hand despite the reset bubble going through

[lethal mural]

technically i just stole it from unstable lmao

[onyx sonnet]

it also never scales the mult

[lethal mural]

but ill try

[humble girder]

specifically, the edition gives +1 and the contract gives +1, which is shown in their respective info areas

it should be clear when you see any other contract that the +1 joker slot(s) in the edition area is separate

[manic rune]

ah i see

[red flower]

you're changing to_do_poker_hand instead of lighthouse_poker_hand

idk the xmult part

[lethal mural]

to_number worked

[normal crest]

i guess it was this

[manic rune]

make one which x0.5 your mult

[humble girder]

rarities not qualities

rip

[manic rune]

and maybe one which makes it so planet cards have 1/2 to not work?

❤️

[red flower]

do they stack blind effects

[humble girder]

yes, that's the plan

[red flower]

cool

[manic rune]

jesus

does it reset every round or?

[humble girder]

no, it's not random

[manic rune]

💀

dang

[jagged mortar]

god i "love" lua

[hushed field]

Has anyone messed around with SMODS' quantum enhancements? It hard crashes the game when this joker's present. It's the :is_face() call that causes the crash, but I'm not sure how to work around that

[manic rune]

you should make a challenge with 5 pacts in your joker slots lol

[humble girder]

for now there are "unseen" pacts, which apply a minor blind, but you don't know which one, before you pick it, "dangerous" pacts, which always apply a showdown blind as long as one is left in the pool, and "treacherous", which apply a minor blind that you can see before picking but also have an additional downside

and of course

[onyx sonnet]

context.scoring_name gives the name of the currently played poker hand right?

[humble girder]

you can always skip

🙂

[manic rune]

try if context.other_card and context.other_card:is_face()

[hardy viper]

can you though

[humble girder]

it's +3 mult on red card :^)

[manic rune]

make a pact which forces you to play the game at x0.5 speed

[hardy viper]

that's evil

[manic rune]

exactly

[hardy viper]

too evil

[humble girder]

maybe, but let me first get this blind system to work, i had to rewrite way too many things for it and i expect literally every boss blind is broken right now

[spring lantern]

okay so i gotta figure out how to check every time a new card is created

[manic rune]

"seen"?

what if i go to collection and just

scroll through everything lol

[spring lantern]

no

cheater

[manic rune]

dang.

[humble girder]

hook a table into init_game_object and hook Card:set_ability to add things to that table and you have to somehow check if it's a collection card or not

[hushed field]

I don't think there's a context where other_card would be nil, considering it's only ever used with other_card = card in the same call. But that does crash it too

[manic rune]

oof

thats odd

[hardy viper]

if not card.area.config.collection

[manic rune]

i personally never touched quantum enhancements before, so that was my best guess

cmon guys

dont patch my exploit

:(

[hardy viper]

teehee

[humble girder]

and uhh we also need to figure out if set_ability is called before it's added to the cardarea

[hardy viper]

depends

[humble girder]

might be a curveball though

[spring lantern]

will find out when i test it

[onyx sonnet]

please?

[spring lantern]

yea

[hardy viper]

check docs or test it

[onyx sonnet]

which docs

[spring lantern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation

[hardy viper]

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

[spring lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/read-the-fucking-docs-rtfm-skill-issue-legion-gif-26463667

/j

[frosty dock]

I love that gif

[spring lantern]

it's beautiful

[humble girder]

context.scoring_name is the key of the "highest priority" hand being scored (Flush if there is a flush and a pair, Straight Flush if there is a straight and a flush, Straight Flush even if it is a royal flush).

[frosty dock]

however this is a close second

[humble girder]

hi

dear john

question

[frosty dock]

wasup

[onyx sonnet]

i read the Smods docs and i often dont see stuff that other people are using

[humble girder]

how would we feel about stuff like perma_mult, perma_xmult (I think AMM has it right now) going core

[hushed field]

john my game crashes so bad there isn't a crash log 💔

[onyx sonnet]

like context.scoring_name isnt even in smods when i search the git

[frosty dock]

they're not fully updated with some newer stuff, we'll get to that soon hopefully

[humble girder]

for no other reason that me not having to depend on any other mod

[frosty dock]

that's because you're not searching right

[crystal perch]

is there a way to get the context of after you end the round / when you enter the shop?
context.after and context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false doesn't seem to work

[frosty dock]

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

[crystal perch]

i looked in there

i have the smods wiki permanently attached to my second monitor at all times

[frosty dock]

that wasn't meant for you, sorry

[spring lantern]

you only need context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false i reckon

[frosty dock]

I think we have context.starting_shop as of recently? idr

[spring lantern]

new thing pog?

[crystal perch]

yeah but i specifically want the player's money as they enter the shop

[spring lantern]

fair

[crystal perch]

and money updates after end round

[crystal perch]

ill try putting that in

[frosty dock]

indeed

[crystal perch]

well i havent crashed

okay it didn't error but it didn't print any debug info i set it to

[frosty dock]

show code

[crystal perch]

(still making it but the prints have worked with different contexts)

[tall wharf]

i can't art

[spring lantern]

fym you can't art

[frosty dock]

that return table looks atrocious but I'll choose to ignore that

[crystal perch]

🤫

[frosty dock]

chances are you're not on the absolute latest smods version then, because that's when this was added

[spring lantern]

outside of the ones i assume are unfinished these are really solid

[tall wharf]

the observer, quasi connectivity, and both pickaxes are unfinished

[crystal perch]

how recent?

[spring lantern]

those are the ones i thought

[tall wharf]

ill make a joker called

[frosty dock]

a day

[tall wharf]

Please do not the cat

[spring lantern]

perfect

[crystal perch]

oh yeah then i gotta update

[crystal perch]

i'll do it when i get back from lecture

[frosty dock]

kk

[tall wharf]

are there documentation for SMODS.optional_features

[hushed field]

I'd grab a crash report, but the game crashes before it generates one. Somehow this just shuts down the game when quantum_enhancements is enabled, and I can't figure out why.

[frosty dock]

(no)

[tall wharf]

💔

[hushed field]

it's called 'bothering the devs until they tell you'

[tall wharf]

no

i am not that kind of person so ill just patiently wait for the documentation

like i wait for portal 3

[frosty dock]

uh yeah certain functions are just forbidden in check_enhancement

is_face counts as such because it needs to know the enhancements of a card to tell if it even has a rank

[hushed field]

ah, that makes sense. I suspected it was something like that, because of stone cards, but it was hard to traceback as it doesn't generate a crash report, it just shuts down

[frosty dock]

infloops be like that

you can eliminate that issue if you solve the halting problem ||(you can't)||

[hushed field]

hmm how about i redesign the very core assumptions that computing is based on 🤔

[edgy reef]

The LSP Definitions is the closest

Altho even then idk what precisely post_trigger is.

[hushed field]

would 'SMODS.Ranks[context.other_card.base.value].face' get around this? I assume it'd run into problems with paradoleia maybe?

[hushed field]

should've just tried before asking. it won't

[tall wharf]

😭

[spring lantern]

what

[onyx sonnet]

Im trying to scale this joker when a played hand IS the randomly selected poker hand (similarly to To Do List) but i cant get it to increase at all

[spring lantern]

dude i just updated to the latest smods version and now apparently blind.lua is borked

someone fucked up a lovely patch or smth?

[edgy reef]

Update Lovely

[spring lantern]

that could also be it

LOL

[humble girder]

so

that blind.lua patch was me

and also

definitely update lovely 😉

[spring lantern]

yup that fixed it lmao

[wintry solar]

That looks like a reasonable explanation of post trigger

[atomic edge]

how do i change the booster pack so it doesnt use the consumable and instead just puts it into the area

[wintry solar]

Add select_card = “consumeables”

[atomic edge]

and what if i want it to go into a special area

thats not in the base game

oh nvm

got it

thanks

[wintry solar]

Change the string to the name of the area

[spring lantern]

okay so i can confirm card.area is not set before calling card.set_ability

which might just make my life 100x harder

this is what i got rn for contextç

[wintry solar]

What’re you trying to do?

[spring lantern]

this

by creating a table which stores the names/ids of the cards

but actually detecting when a card is seen while it not being in the collection (that would be some major cheese) is pretty hard turns out

[wintry solar]

Can’t you inject into the functions that populate the shop and packs instead?

[spring lantern]

inject as in...

patch?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[spring lantern]

😨

[humble girder]

reee blind descriptions don't show up in info_queue

[spring lantern]

i've actually never done a patch before

might be necessary here tho...

ahw fuck

do also need to keep in mind stuff like judgement or skips adding new cards i think

[wintry solar]

Yeah true

[quasi comet]

strange question, but G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED considers any screen as valid? im using it for a can_use function but it always returns true no matter what screen I'm on, and not just the booster pack screen?

[spring lantern]

maybe i could just use the emplace hook i have already

there isn't any instance where a card isn't emplaced in some area right

[wintry solar]

Not that I’m aware of

[spring lantern]

we might be back

[onyx sonnet]

bump

[wintry solar]

Your scaling doesn’t exist

That’s why it has a squiggly

[spring lantern]

having to write card.ability.extra for every variable is to be fair a pain in the ass

[grim remnant]

okay, well, this is silly. in trying to implement that for loop from earlier, instead of making a blueprint that loops its retriggers based on a variable, we seem to have accidentally made a functioning blueprint with a finite durability.

[onyx sonnet]

Thank you so much

[wintry solar]

@edgy reef oh now I’ve read the git change your old description was much better. Post trigger is just a context to do anything after any joker triggers, it can be on itself or on a different joker

Sort of like individual on playing cards but on jokers I guess

[edgy reef]

Ah

[tall wharf]

😭

[grim remnant]

are we like, on the right track with this, or is this not even close to what we should be doing? (for context: trying to make a joker that operates like blueprint, but then retriggers that joker 3 times instead of just 1)

[spring lantern]

it seems to be working

now just let me check if the collection counts or not

[normal crest]

Once you return you exit the function entirely

[tall wharf]

where did my xmult go

[grim remnant]

isn't it xmult instead of x_mult? or is that a talisman change?

[normal crest]

Both are valid

[normal crest]

You should be able to put everything in the return

[tall wharf]

i did that and it didn't do the thing i wanted it to do

[normal crest]

What is the thing

[tall wharf]

i wanted it to give +15 mult then x1.5 mult after

[normal crest]

what's your card config

[wintry solar]

It’ll do that putting both in

[spring lantern]

i have no idea how i'm gonna be able to condense this description

[normal crest]

Will it do it in that order tho

[onyx sonnet]

Is there anything wrong with the contexts im using to scale it?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[onyx sonnet]

wait

wrong screenshot

[tall wharf]

ok i am stupid it's case sensitive

works now

[normal crest]

This Joker gains X0.1 Mult for
every Tarot, Planet, Spectral
and Joker card seen this round

[normal crest]

card = self will crash

[onyx sonnet]

Doesnt crash anything

and that also isnt the issue im having

[normal crest]

What is the issue you're having

[onyx sonnet]

i cant figure out the appropriate set of contexts to trigger the scaling, only context.before makes sense but it doesnt seem to be working

[normal crest]

Can you send your full joker

[onyx sonnet]

  key = "light_house",
  config = { extra = { x_mult = 1, scaling = 0.2, light_house_poker_hand = 'High Card' } },
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true, 
  blueprint_compat = true,
  eternal_compat = true,
  perishable_compat = true,
  rarity = 3,
  atlas = "NeatoJokers",
  pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
  cost = 8,
  
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = {card.ability.extra.x_mult,card.ability.extra.scaling, card.ability.extra.light_house_poker_hand}}
  end,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and context.scoring_name == card.ability.light_house_poker_hand then
      card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.scaling
      return {
          message = localize("X")..card.ability.extra.x_mult,
          colour = G.C.MULT
      }
    end
    if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
      local _poker_hands = {}
      for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
          if v.visible and k ~= card.ability.light_house_poker_hand then _poker_hands[#_poker_hands+1] = k end
      end
      card.ability.extra.light_house_poker_hand = pseudorandom_element(_poker_hands, pseudoseed('light_house'))
      return {
          message = localize('k_reset'),
      }
  end
    if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.x_mult > 1 then
      return {
          message = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={card.ability.extra.x_mult}},
          Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
          colour = G.C.MULT,
      }
    end
  end
}```

[normal crest]

its card.ability.extra.light_house etc

[spring lantern]

thank fuck the next joker im making is super simple

[onyx sonnet]

what do you mean

[normal crest]

you forgot the extra in your check

[maiden river]

unfortunately, the schemes for jokers I keep coming up with get more and more complex

[onyx sonnet]

ohhh

ty!!

[tall wharf]

same...

[spring lantern]

it's so hard to make something both creative but also simple and elegant enough to fit into base game

[onyx sonnet]

god i wish vscode could flag stuff like this

[spring lantern]

glad i got this working

[maiden river]

so true
I have one joker that I made recently that I feel just makes sense
it's essentially just a strange version of Mr. Bones but still

[normal crest]

I feel like you should be able to get rid of the collection not included part

[spring lantern]

probably yeah

[tall wharf]

so 0.75x blind req with extra steps?

[normal crest]

its kind of implied and if not people will learn fast as its easy totry

Also parenthesis around the Currently line

[spring lantern]

god i always forget about the brackets on xmult scaling jokers descriptions

[grim remnant]

okay, that much we get, but by removing that return there, it no longer retriggers and the reset function also just... isn't happening. we're definitely missing something here. at this point we're wondering if it'd be easier to just bite the bullet and try and somehow fit the retriggers in the post-trigger thing we deprecated

[maiden river]

i mean, the only extra step is that you have to play a hand after you meet the requirement

so it doesn't clutch for you like mr. bones

[spring lantern]

i was gonna suggest eval_this() but apparently that's deprecated

[normal crest]

calculate_effect replaces it

[spring lantern]

so that's why

anyway yeah that

[sturdy compass]

Is anyone familiar with Quantum Ranks? I would like to refactor one of my jokers to use them but I have no clue how they work

[edgy reef]

Well, they don't really exist yet.

[sturdy compass]

Ah I see

[edgy reef]

Just a few people adding their own implementation.

[maiden river]

it's all an illusion

[sturdy compass]

A deception...

[normal crest]

Two things, one, you're setting context.blieprint_card to nil without saving a reference, so whenever you use context.blueprint_card or card it always returns card

[maiden river]

seeing you in the chat reminds me that I should try your mod when I get home lmao
I do have to test inter-mod compatibility at some point lol

[sturdy compass]

Yeah I'm starting to shift focus towards that (inter-mod compat) in the dev cycle so anything you can find would be super helpful

[steep cloud]

oh alright, lemme get the crash for that too

[normal crest]

Two, try replacing your previous return statement with SMODS.calculate_effect(other_joker_ret, blueprint_card or card) where blueprint_card is the reference mentioned here

[sturdy compass]

There's already a few I know will not work (i.e. pessimistic, soil, group chat, perspective) since those have very specific implementations that I don't know how I would do otherwise lol

[maiden river]

I see

luckily most of the friends vs balatro jokers are implemented in a pretty vanilla way

[sturdy compass]

What I mean by that is they'll work with vanilla and maximus jokers, but outside of those they won't

[maiden river]

oh I see

[sturdy compass]

Refrigerator probs falls into that group too

[maiden river]

well the one luck-based thing I added (a seal) doesn't even work with oops all sixes yet vanilla compat out the window already lmao
but yeah I can't imagine any of my jokers have that issue (yet)

[sturdy compass]

Oops compat is pretty easy lmao

[tall wharf]

hello

i will buff my tsunagite joker

[sturdy compass]

the huh

[maiden river]

yeah I know
I just didn't do it yet lmao

[sturdy compass]

interesting

[sturdy compass]

valid

[maiden river]

the seal in question, btw

(I've had runs destroyed by this seal before)

you'd think you'd never really hit the 0.5, but I have the world's worst luck

[sturdy compass]

oh hey I just realized Maximus now officially has more challenges than Cryptid lmao

we ball

[tall wharf]

😭

[maiden river]

oh yeah I should make some challenges at some point

[sturdy compass]

Challenges have been really fun honestly

[plain apex]

i dont think thats supposed to happen lol

[sturdy compass]

fascinating

[maiden river]

I keep just making decks 😭

[sturdy compass]

Challenges are the easiest for me to make cuz I'm not the artist lmaooooo

[old bane]

can i make it so that consumables have a chance to be able to be used again?

[plain apex]

(changed the suits of cards in the deck and now they dont respect the line

[old bane]

status effects in Balatro ‼️

[maiden river]

I was going to make this an enhancement
But then I'd have to do art lmao

[tall wharf]

ok where did the final x1.5 come from

wtf lmao

ah

makes sense

[wintry solar]

Looks like you just didn’t change them properly, can you show your code?

[atomic edge]

guys when i put select_card into my booster pack config it gives the card into the area but also activates it

how do i prevent it from activating

[sturdy compass]

bruh

I guess it is legendary but that's a lot of text

[old bane]

i think cryptid’s code card booster pack do this

[atomic edge]

thanks

[wintry solar]

what do you mean it activates it?

[humble girder]

pogress

also there's a possible smods contribution here

might as well push that in before i forget

[atomic edge]

so the card is like a quest that you get from a booster pack

and when you complete it it rewards you with another card

and when i open the booster pack

i select it

it immidiately rewards me with the card

dissolves the quest

but its still in the consumables

and it says 1/2

[wintry solar]

show the code

[tall wharf]

ok i nerfed it hard

[atomic edge]

    key = "questpack",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Quest pack',
        text = {
            "Choose one of up to 3 quest cards"
        },
    },
    atlas = 'quest_booster',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    discovered = true,
    config = {choose = 1, extra = 3},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.choose, card.ability.extra}}
    end,
    create_card = function(self, card)
        return create_card("Quest", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true,  true, nil, "questpack")
    end,
    ease_background_colour = function(self)
        ease_colour(G.C.DYN_UI.MAIN, G.C.RED)
        ease_background_colour{new_colour = G.C.RED, special_colour = G.C.BLACK, contrast = 2}
    end,
    group_key = 'janm_quest_pack',
    draw_hand = false,
    cost = 12,
    select_card = "consumeables",
    weight = 1,
    particles = function(self)
        G.booster_pack_sparkles = Particles(1, 1, 0,0, {
            timer = 0.015,
            scale = 0.2,
            initialize = true,
            lifespan = 1,
            speed = 1.1,
            padding = -1,
            attach = G.ROOM_ATTACH,
            colours = {G.C.RED},
            fill = true
        })
        G.booster_pack_sparkles.fade_alpha = 1
        G.booster_pack_sparkles:fade(1, 0)
    end,
})```

[wintry solar]

no of the card

[atomic edge]

oh

but there are many quests and it does the same for every one

[tall wharf]

i mean

[sturdy compass]

goodness

[wintry solar]

I can't think of a reason this would happen

[sturdy compass]

btw on the topic of boosters (kinda), how would I change the music of my boosters to the planet pack music?

[atomic edge]

is it maybe because i changed the buttons on the cards

the use and sell buttons on the quest itself is altered

are

could that be the problem?

[wintry solar]

that sounds likely

[atomic edge]

oh okay

thanks

ill change it around

[normal crest]

xchips isn't any worse than xmult

so why is it upgrading 10x more

[tall wharf]

feel like doing so

no rhyme or reason

but you're right

[edgy reef]

Doing it vanilla would require adding meteor particles when the booster pack is opened.

I think

[sturdy compass]

what a weird way to handle that

[tall wharf]

i have a code that does that

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/main/modules/sounds.lua

[sturdy compass]

I take it letterPack.ogg is just a copy of the planet music

[tall wharf]

😭

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[tall wharf]

i recreate the notes in fl with no midi

[sturdy compass]

😭

[edgy reef]

Yeah using SMODS API also works for this

The whole music control looks scuffed but technically works perfectly fine.

[sturdy compass]

I did locate that and was very confused which is why I asked here lmao

[grim remnant]

okay, after some finesse (and a brief interlude to go outside for a bit) it is retriggering thrice now, but the "reset retriggers to 3 once they're 0, then exit the loop" still isn't working; it just exits without resetting. what're we missing there?

[wintry solar]

You don’t need to reduce your value within the loop

[sturdy compass]

I honestly didn't even know celestial packs had different particles

[grim remnant]

oh! that actually fixed it, tysm!

[sturdy compass]

Took a page out of Marie’s book for this one lol

[minor furnace]

Splash synergy be like?

I slightly misunderstood, this is like splash but only for high card

[sturdy compass]

Yep

And because of the hand type restriction you get the retriggers as a consolation

[modern kindle]

i made something kinda similar kinda not, just made it in the same vein has duo, trio, family, tribe
where instead if the hand contains a high card (lol, lmao) its a x2 mult and retriggers aces

[sturdy compass]

Bruh

So what, the solo?

[modern kindle]

i called it the single

[minor furnace]

so it's just strictly better than the duo

[modern kindle]

minus the fact its a worse hand, yea

consiering a pair beats a high card

[minor furnace]

every hand contains a high card though

so it procs on every single hand

[modern kindle]

depending on your run every hand could contain a pair too

ive had runs of nothing but full houses so its not uncommon at all

but it being so easily triggered is why its just an x2 mult, realistically x2 is not that significant

especially not when i have a card that goes up to x12

[minor furnace]

it's literally a guaranteed x2, but the retrigger on aces is really nice if you turn them into glass

[modern kindle]

i do not super often have glass aces on the regular so ive not run into much of an issue

realistically every card that gets you past the midgame is busted if you build for it so i dont see it as a massive issue

[minor furnace]

I mean I think it's balanced, it's just funny that it triggers on every hand you play

[modern kindle]

yeye i agree lmao

one of my favored cards is the brokie gamble

for every 5 bucks below 0 gain x3 mult

so -20 is 12x

[minor furnace]

The Ox kills that build, in the most hilarious way possible

on the other hand you'd love to see The Tooth

[modern kindle]

im thinking about making more jokers which increase how much you can go into debt, and they wont spawn unless you own the credit card already

but idk how much further to limit the debt

maybe first to 50, then 100 and end there

but thats alot of mult

[minor furnace]

alternatively, debt voucher?

[modern kindle]

thats true i could prob do that, but i figured the prob with voucher was that its a one time use for it to last the whole run, if i tie it to a joker then make the debt only last for as long as they hold the joker it at leasts costs a slot

then if they sell the jokers they can no longe ruse the mult

[sturdy compass]

Technically any scaling Xmult card can scale that high

[modern kindle]

thats true enough, i guess i just considered it much easier since you just need the card to farm it

[strong jacinth]

Anyone here good at lua and Löve with some freetime that can help me with a thingo (That can take quite a while)

[edgy reef]

what's being cooked

[minor furnace]

I think I'm going to cook a multi-wave finisher blind

[west mason]

i have this concept for a new consumable type for my Pokemon TCG mod, lemme know what you guys think

Legendary Pokemon based cards

Arceus: add 1 of each possible upgrades of your liking to a card.
Giratina: destroy 6 random cards from hand and make 2 random Jokers negative.
Palkia: +4 permanent discards.
Dialga: +4 permanent hands.
Regigigas: debuff selected joker for 3 rounds. Joker gains custom X4 Edition after.
Groudon: +7 hand size.
Kyogre: +7 permanent free shop rolls.
Rayquaza: +1 Joker slot and +2 consumeable slots.
Ho-Oh: Shows you a selection of (7? maybe 8) jokers you've previously had in your possesion and allows you to take 1.
Lugia: First shop each round is free.
Mew: Hand pick any Joker you want.
Mewtwo: Select 1 Joker out of 15 random that are shown and select an Edition for it.
Xerneas: Selected Joker becomes Eternal and negative.
Yveltal: Remove Eternal from selected joker and adds custom X3 Edition.

the plan for these are for them to be really really rare

like 1 or 2 per run

[hushed field]

+4 hands is basically guaranteeing you win the run

[minor furnace]

I would not call 1 or 2 a run rare

[strong jacinth]

An online ui tester for balatro

[hushed field]

except for some hard counter boss blinds

[atomic edge]

does anyone know of a mod that adds a custom consumable area and gets those consumables from a booster pack?

[west mason]

+2 would be better then?

[edgy reef]

There's sorta already something like this with BalaUI iirc, but that's more for card descriptions.

I assume this is more about general Balatro UI?

[tepid crow]

me when the blind chip requirement goes up higher and a different boss music starts playing

https://tenor.com/oQy4UWjiYu5.gif

[minor furnace]

So Mew is basically Death Certificate from Isaac 👀

[stiff locust]

amazing

[tepid crow]

These seem very strong. Are these supposed to be like soul/black hole rarity?

[stiff locust]

finally some good fucking joker effects

[minor furnace]

the idea is that chips, hands, and discards would reset per wave, and everything would get shuffled back into your deck. And it will consistently have the same set of boss effects in the same order to clear

[west mason]

yeah something like that

[sturdy compass]

Had a feeling you'd take a liking to it lmao

[west mason]

yup

[minor furnace]

actually, I really like that idea for a legendary joker

[west mason]

i actually had it written as death certificate on my notes lmao

i had to elaborate on the description for that message

[stiff locust]

naturally

[tepid crow]

actually, looking through the list again, some of these are better than legendaries... 😅

[atomic edge]

bump?

[west mason]

yeah, i wanted them to be unique. Not sure how im gonna implement them into the gameplay loop once i've made them i want them to be really rare

[stiff locust]

if my mod has two branches on github and I make a release, how can I make the release use a specific branch's code?

more of a github question i'm still kinda stupid with this stuff

[minor furnace]

For context, I'm making boss blinds loosely related to the runes from Isaac, and this finisher blind was going to be called "The Beast"

[minor furnace]

y'all are working on branches?

I replied to the wrong message...

[tepid crow]

yeah imagine not just force pushing everything to main

the way linus torvalds intended

[strong jacinth]

So, who has time to help me?

[minor furnace]

I think you're going to have to more clearly define what kinds of features that entails

[strong jacinth]

Hey! Im making a balatro UI tester, like a screenshot of balatro, where you can put ui elements on to see how it looks.

In the future you would be able to drag and drop the ui elements and then convert that into code, add paramiters, show ui on click either in a specified place or the whole screen and mush more!

Im currently looking for someone to help me make this

So any help would be greatly appreciated

This should cover it

[sturdy compass]

Thoughts on this challenge? 👀

[paper zealot]

When you say "help me make this", do you mean "help me with advice on final tweaks and testing", or do you mean "yo bro I've got a great idea for an app all it needs is some code bro"?

[strong jacinth]

Both, ive started making it today with lua and löve

So a little bit is done, i just dont think I can port all balatro ui stuff alone

[paper zealot]

Best way to gather interest and support is probably to make a thread in #1209506514763522108 about it and show off what you've accomplished. Most devs are wary of ideas alone, but showing your work will get people alongside. And showing bad work that needs to be fixed is even better at drawing support because people on the internet love correcting things

[fathom thunder]

"the best way to get information on the internet isnt to ask a question but to look for someone asking the same question, provide a wrong answer and wait for people to correct you" or something like that

i forgot where i saw that but like its funny

[edgy reef]

Kinda true and real

[paper zealot]

ACKTUALLY that's a misquote by a later copycat and the original is "blah blah blah"

[fathom thunder]

🔥✍️

[spring lantern]

was meant to be only when scored originally but i messed up the code and was like wait it might be more fun like this

[stray warren]

Dollar sign goes in front

[spring lantern]

my european ass really just did that

just gotta do the artwork for these and that's 10/15 done

damn i'm going fast

[hushed field]

more language than continent dependent 😛

[spring lantern]

make it my spanish ass then

[onyx sonnet]

Was really hoping this smods update would've added a context for entering a shop

[minor magnet]

i don't like this description, how would i make it better?

[frosty dock]

It did though?

[onyx sonnet]

Really? I swear I couldn't find one in the updated utils

[frosty dock]

wdym utils

it's added by means of a lovely patch

[onyx sonnet]

ohhhh

My bad 😞

[graceful magnet]

For making a deck, if I'm doing something like Ghost/Magic deck, what do I need to replace self with in stuff like self.effect.config.consumables

[unkempt thicket]

How can i score a card with SMODS.score_card() with a repetition context?

[graceful magnet]

hang on nope I'm just bad at writing code

[neat plover]

its pretty well said tho?

[grim remnant]

weird bug we discovered with our one blueprint-like joker from earlier; for whatever reason, it just... doesn't work with jokers that retrigger playing cards, like chad. it works just fine with most other jokers, even ones that activate on playing card activation, too, which is weird! any particular reason this isn't working we're just missing?

[plain apex]

me when i make the deck radioactive by accident

[neat plover]

i want to have what he's having

[plain apex]

i mean it doesn't do anything it functions properly

there just simply is radioactive particles emitting from the deck

[prisma loom]

Is there a way to adjust the chances of what edition would be chosen?

[frosty dock]

yes

[prisma loom]

my lazy ass forgot about the wiki

[frosty dock]

https://tenor.com/view/read-the-fucking-docs-rtfm-skill-issue-legion-gif-26463667

[prisma loom]

thanks

[foggy carbon]

1.) Make the word destroy red? Maybe. You'd have to look at Sixth Sense,
2.) The second to last line should probably read "and this card gains +3 Mult" to match vanilla nomencalture.
3.) The last part of the last line needs {C:inactive} after the mult part

[unkempt thicket]

How can i score a card with SMODS.score_card() with a repetition context?

[prisma loom]

how exactly weights work tho?

1 is 100%?

[primal shoal]

how does the self destruct detect the round score and blind amount

[frosty dock]

they're.... weights

if the sum of weights is 10, a weight of 1 means 10% chance

if the sum is 3, a weight of 1 means 1/3 chance

[minor furnace]

smods update on its way to break one of my patches somehow

[prisma loom]

One last question: does poll edition suports negative edition?

like e_negative

[minor magnet]

yes but it has a field you can use to not spawn negative

[prisma loom]

for playing cards

correction @minor magnet

[primal shoal]

is this possible?

[runic pecan]

Third line -> "and gain +3 Mult."

[minor magnet]

it should be the same thing

[prisma loom]

it doesnt work

[normal crest]

Repetitions are collected only with return values

[prisma loom]

]

[unkempt thicket]

I did this for that effect card:set_edition(poll_edition('tag', nil, false, true))

It creates negative as well

[minor magnet]

^ cant verify since im on phone and not pc but should be like this

if you want no negatives you simply change that false to true

[prisma loom]

I want negatives

XD

that's why I'm asking

[prisma loom]

What are these settings stand for?

[crystal perch]

context.starting_shop works btw

[keen coral]

whenever i try to add a localize = message to my joker, i get a really weird error that takes place in common_events.
functions/common_events.lua:1241: attempt to call method 'juice_up' (a nil value).

my joker DOES use juice_up, but the fact that this returns an error from common_events and only when i try to implement a message makes me think that i'm not using the 'return' function properly. any help would be super appreciated!

[unkempt thicket]

Tag can basically be anything I usual use the jokers key, _mod is usual nil, _no_neg is removes negative from pool when true, and _guaranteed is if its guaranteed (if not that's where _mod comes in).

[keen coral]

it's probably some easy fix that i just can't see rn

[normal crest]

card = self is the problem, self is NOT a card, card is

[keen coral]

oh okay! is a card= statement even necessary then? i pulled card=self from midas mask's code in the dump, which is where i found the card=self statement

[normal crest]

it's not necessary, no

it's generally used to specify what card should do a little jiggle when it's triggered

or what card the message should appear on

[keen coral]

yup, just tested it and didn't need it! tysm 🫡

ah, but if you use localize within a card's functions then it will already know which card to jiggle?

that'd make a lot of sense

[normal crest]

not quite, the default is probably the card that returns the effect

might depend on the context tho

[keen coral]

mmm got it got it, thanks!

[grim remnant]

we get that much, having encountered repetitions being return-only before. is there a way to like, fudge collecting repetitions for the sake of this card, like how blueprint can copy them? :o

on a walk rn so can't really check but like. could you use SMODS.calculate as like, a VERY hacky way to try to detect repetitions?

[chrome widget]

I believe someone in here a few days ago had some issue with invisible cards after cards are destroyed

I'm getting the same thing with this joker

[rough furnace]

Ghost card moment

Youre destroying cards during scoring incorrectly

There's something specific you have to do

[chrome widget]

Oop, I see it here

[foggy carbon]

is the point of that joker deckfixing alone?

[chrome widget]

Basically

Does it not send the destroy_card context to unscored cards?

mmm, yep, it only does it for the scoring hand

[frosty dock]

you should get unscored cards if you enable the optional feature for them

[grim remnant]

sorry to nag, still looking for pointers on this front as it'd kinda suck if it just Didn't Work With Repetitions like blueprint does. if someone wants to combine this with baron, they SHOULDN'T, but they should be allowed to make that mistake

[paper zealot]

Hm, does Discord not support svg?

[grim remnant]

it does not, no

always found it kinda weird it doesn't ngl. like it's one thing to not support BMP as that's largely been overtaken by PNG, but like. SVG is still very frequently used. it's like THE vector graphic file type.

[paper zealot]

That's a shame because it's goddamn beautiful

[grim remnant]

given how long it took them to add audio embeds on mobile that aren't just "download the file", we expect them to add .bmp and .svg embeds in... 2034

[paper zealot]

Well, for those who want to bother with downloading and opening this svg in a browser, let me know how it looks and if it's fully functional

And more importantly if it displays smoothly or is stuttery

[frosty dock]

looks great, is fully functional and displays smoothly

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make this in the context of repetitions? SMODS.score_card(context.scoring_hand[1], {cardarea = G.play, full_hand = context.full_hand, scoring_hand = context.scoring_hand, scoring_name = context.scoring_name, poker_hands = context.poker_hands})

[chrome widget]

Okay I did enabled unscored cards as a feature, but now I'm running into a separate problem in that I can't seem to get it to function. I cant even get the debug statement to play if I remove the hand size check, but I saw by looking through the SMODS code that it just sets the cardarea to 'unscored' as a string when unscored cards are enabled

    if context.cardarea == G.play and #context.scoring_hand == card.ability.extra.hand_size then
        sendDebugMessage(tostring(context.destroy_card)..' | '..tostring(context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]))
        if context.destroy_card ~= context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand] then
            return
        end
            
        return {
            delay = 0.45, 
            remove = true,
        }
    elseif context.cardarea == 'unscored' and #context.full_hand == card.ability.extra.hand_size then
        sendDebugMessage(tostring(context.destroy_card)..' | '..tostring(context.full_hand[#context.full_hand]))
        if context.destroy_card ~= context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] then
            return
        end           

        return {
            delay = 0.45, 
            remove = true,
        }
    end        
end```

[frosty dock]

hmkay what's your smods version?

[chrome widget]

0.9.8. Is this a more recent feature?

[frosty dock]

are you fucking serious

0.9.8 is almost a year old

[chrome widget]

Cool?

[frosty dock]

who tf told you to use it

[paper zealot]

With all my love and respect, this is not a cool response

[chrome widget]

You're having a strangely violent reaction to this information

Yeah

[frosty dock]

i'm so sorry, i'm just flabbergasted

[edgy reef]

Can Markdown allow you to make this bigger?

😭

[frosty dock]

you said you were looking at smods code setting the cardarea to unscored, so it just doesn't even begin to make sense to me

like, you were looking at the updated code but are using an old deprecated version??

[chrome widget]

Code search on github because I couldn't find it in the front-facing docs

[foggy carbon]

so you're looking at the most recent code while using 0.9.8

[frosty dock]

that's because the feature was added a week ago

you should use the same code that you're looking at

[foggy carbon]

I'd sooner search my own smods code with Visual Studio

[chrome widget]

For the record, first balatro mod I've made here, and I created this mod explicitly for compatibility with Cardsauce, which began development roughly a year ago. So that's probably why Cardsauce is/was using 0.9.8, and I myself am not intimately familiar with smods releases

[frosty dock]

good point

[frosty dock]

Cardsauce is still in active development and has long updated to newer versions of steamodded

[wintry swallow]

what do people use to make joker art

[grim remnant]

literally any art program with transparency will do. we use paint.net personally

[unkempt thicket]

I use kirta but a lot of people use asprite.

[frosty dock]

any of the above are viable options

[wintry swallow]

oh wait asprite so true

i do have that

[foggy carbon]

the OP of the thread's last post was 8 days ago, which I feel is a bit long, but is definitely more recent than bettercalc

[foggy carbon]

same

[wintry swallow]

paint.net is good

[grim remnant]

like, the only option we can think of that wouldn't work is like, MS Paint, just bc paint doesn't have the ability to handle transparency. which if you're using MS Paint in 2025, that's... that's its own entirely separate question. ;P

[foggy carbon]

I generally make my sprites at 2x size, and then Resize to 50% (with nearest neighbor) for the 1x sprites

[frosty dock]

yeah but they have their own discord

[chrome widget]

I genuinely don't know what to tell you my guy. BarrierTrio probably could've told me to use a more recent version but didn't. It is genuinely not a big problem to update nor is having missed it a big problem either lmao

[wintry swallow]

oh and localthunk made a pinned message about joker art tips thats nice

[unkempt thicket]

This is also useful https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1224362333208444989

[frosty dock]

I'm not trying to make a problem out of it, I just don't get it in the slightest how you could have been using it at all

[chrome widget]

Because I'm a professional game designer and using older/less supported tools is often expected if it means ensuring compatability and not having to bugfix an entire codebase due to an update?

[wintry swallow]

oh thank you so much this is amazing

[chrome widget]

Same reason my past employers used a version of Unity that's like 4-5 years old at this point

[frosty dock]

yeah but there's a big notice that the version is deprecated?

[chrome widget]

and.......? A deprecated tool means it's not supported anymore, not that it's non-functional

I'm not gonna turn my nose up at something being deprecated if I'm advised to use it by someone else I'm working with

[frosty dock]

at the same time you want to use a feature that was added a week ago...?

that's the part that's confusing me

[chrome widget]

am I supposed to inherently be aware that this feature I didn't know existed until you offered it to me was added a week ago?

you didn't give a timestamp

you just said use it

[frosty dock]

It's not even the unscored feature in particular

destroy_card in the form you're using it is also a more recent feature

[chrome widget]

No no no, don't walk back from that. You told me to use unscored cards, then got weirdly annoyed when my tools didn't support it

destroy_card does work by the way

[frosty dock]

destroying_card does. destroy_card is not a thing in 0.9.8

i know that because I personally added it a month ago

[bold gyro]

Hey y'all, why is the check for if the playing card's edition is polychrome not working? (I'm guessing the condition is checking if the joker has polychrome currently)

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
      if context.other_card.config.seal == G.P_CENTERS.Gold then
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_gold') or card.edition == 'e_polychrome' then
          return {
            dollars = card.ability.extra.money,
            card = card
          }
        end
      end
        end
    end

[frosty dock]

since you seem to be working off up to date docs, I'm starting to question if you're using 0.9.8 at all

[wintry solar]

card.edition.key

[frosty dock]

i forgot about that file but we don't maintain it

version.lua please

[chrome widget]

Update your manifest please 😭

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make this in the context of repetitions? SMODS.score_card(context.scoring_hand[1], {cardarea = G.play, full_hand = context.full_hand, scoring_hand = context.scoring_hand, scoring_name = context.scoring_name, poker_hands = context.poker_hands})

[wintry solar]

lovely 0.3.1 dependency 👀

[frosty dock]

yeah you're just about a month behind then 😭

that file was for thunderstore, which I don't maintain

so i forgot that it was a thing

so it's just a big misunderstanding we've had, I am so sorry

[chrome widget]

Regardless, I'll see if I can update it to get unscored cards

Idk what version cardsauce is running now since it's diverged since I copied it last

[plush cove]

what actually is the difference between the two?

[chrome widget]

It just says Version 1.0.0~ALPHA-1317a or later, cool

So yeah I had gotten what was then the most recent version roughly a month ago when this started, probably right after destroy_card was added

[frosty dock]

from release notes

[wintry solar]

destroying_card is specifically for scored casrds iirc

[chrome widget]

groan they also haven't updated their readme

cool, lovely

[wintry solar]

destroy_card is on every card

[frosty dock]

current latest is 1425c for reference

[chrome widget]

should be good to just grab latest then

[frosty dock]

yeah should be fine, I don't think we've done any major breaking changes since then

regardless that version would still be too old to have unscored support

[chrome widget]

More like I've probably done some patches over SMODS code that might have self-inflicted breaks. It'll probably be fine tho

[frosty dock]

oh huh I think I see what happened to the manifest. There's been a release workflow on changing this file that I've neglected to change. so it just sort of sat there until I forgot eventually

[chrome widget]

fwiw i'm new to lua/modding itself, so I didn't think to check for the version file. Manifest is more familiar to me from some typescript projects I've used before

[frosty dock]

this is completely my fault

alright we have a new manifest

[chrome widget]

So with the update, let's see if the code runs. It was buggy anyway so I think fixed it

[frosty dock]

on an unrelated note, we're officially no longer a mod loader

[chrome widget]

nods nods, new feature works great. Thanks for letting me know!!

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make this in the context of repetitions? (so instead of triggering things that retrigger it again like seals it just retriggers the card) SMODS.score_card(context.scoring_hand[1], {cardarea = G.play, full_hand = context.full_hand, scoring_hand = context.scoring_hand, scoring_name = context.scoring_name, poker_hands = context.poker_hands})

[frosty dock]

just use context.repetition normally like red seals / repetition jokers do?

[grim remnant]

oh we should probably update our steamodded ASAP come to think of it--

[frosty dock]

again I'm so sorry for my reaction earlier. That was really unnecessary on my part and I should have known better

-# also it's 2am and I'm tired af so that doesn't help my case

[chrome widget]

It's cool!! I understand the confusion, and I offered incorrect information myself because I didn't really know where to look

[unkempt thicket]

In scoring_hand or... I already use it in the code, and it doesn't work if it retriggers a card that's not itself (the reason I'm using score_card)

[wintry solar]

what are you trying to do?

[frosty dock]

and what kind of card is this even

[chrome widget]

but all things considered little scuffles like that just kinda happen a lot in game design from my experience. Not everyone's on the same page and sometimes you just gotta double check and reset everyone's expectations

[unkempt thicket]

retrigger the left most card, this code works but it causes a problem (i'll take a video rq)

[chrome widget]

So my apologies for causing a stir!! Esp so late, go to bed!

[wintry solar]

what a beautifully vague respose

[paper zealot]

New manifesto when?

[bold gyro]

Hey y'all, how do you add specifically the Gold Seal and Negative Playing Card (+1 hand size) tooltips to a Joker?

--gold seal
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.Gold
--negative playing card edition
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative_playing_card```

[normal crest]

G.P_SEALS.Gold

For the seal

this is how steamodded adds the negative playing card one

without the if statement of course

[wintry swallow]

is there a way to make jokers detect other jokers of a certain edition

[frosty dock]

yes

[frosty dock]

all good, and i will

[unkempt thicket]

I want to fix the problem of it retriggering the seal again on the leftmost card

[frosty dock]

good to know this is a seal

that was 0% clear before

I'm not sure of the ability of playing cards to retrigger other playing cards and I'm too tired to think about it

[wintry solar]

yeah I cant recall a way to do it

[normal crest]

I recently did that by hooking into calculate_repetitions

[unkempt thicket]

I believe the problem is that when the card is scored again it goes though reptations again I just want to make it not do that.

[normal crest]

Also sorry if you already saw it, but could you take a look at what I mentioned in #1209564621644505158?

[wintry solar]

about verdant leaf?

[normal crest]

Yeah

[wintry solar]

I havent looked at any of the blind stuff recently

[normal crest]

I did see some commits were made recently on blind stuff, and I tested it only with debugplus

[wintry solar]

yeah I believe someone rewrote how they're applied but I ahvent had time to look over it

[normal crest]

Looks like it was @humble girder, it only happens with Verdant Leaf

[edgy reef]

Is it the same with Crimson Heart?

[normal crest]

Nop, that one seems to work perfectly fine

And the suit debuffing blinds work as well

All other showdowns also work

[timid lynx]

Im making a skin pack and the planet cards arent showing up in game. how do I call for them specifically?

[edgy reef]

This is the Verdant Leaf code due to the commit (which is why I asked cause it looks like the problem is that Verdant Leaf hits the 1st condition and can't reach it's own).

[normal crest]

Oh I see, they are not elseifs in the vanilla code

[frosty dock]

uh yeah that's a problem

just gotta revert the elseif on crimson heart to an end if

[edgy reef]

Not sure how The Pillar is hit too.

[wintry solar]

the pillar isnt in an elseif

[edgy reef]

referring to this

[normal crest]

The pillar works fine for me actually

Just tested it

[edgy reef]

hmm ok

[timid lynx]

anyone know what im supposed to do here?

[wintry solar]

oh actual 0.9.8 code

[grim remnant]

sorry to keep pestering on this, but we're still looking for an answer to this if anyone has one; as it stands, the inability to properly mimic retriggers on playing cards is like, the one absence we've found. :o

[normal crest]

You should find a way to return the repetitions

[old bane]

how would i be able to save cards from booster cards? i tried using
select_card = 'consumeables' but it doesn't work (unless it means like select_card = 'G.consumeables')

[wintry solar]

update smods

[tall tangle]

Is consumables spelled with an extra e in the code for the game?

[wintry solar]

yes

[tall tangle]

Well that's dumb

loud opinion noise

[edgy reef]

Blame LocalThunk

[grim remnant]

okay so, SMODS.calculate_effect(repetitions, target or card) wasn't the answer to that. honestly felt like that had maybe a 33% shot of working just out of the box given how lua's been treating us ;P

(for reference, this is the current calc code)

[normal crest]

Soo I don't know the best way to do this

But I was thinking if other_joker_ret has repetitions in it, remove them and store them somewhere else to return after the loop

[old bane]

for some reason i got a crash and i don't know why >_< (maybe it has to do with the fact that i made new boosters? idk)

[wintry swallow]

did i forget to do something why is it so small 😭

[frigid elm]

I am terribly confused, why is my booster pack crashing when I hover over it in the collection?

[minor furnace]

So, I'm trying to set up a blind effect that shuffles the order of the played cards, and I cannot figure out what to call it on. Using G.hand only shuffles the cards that are not highlighted, and this crashes

        if not self.disabled then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() G.hand.highlighted:shuffle('aajk'); play_sound('cardSlide1', 0.85);return true end }))```

[normal crest]

What's the crash

[normal crest]

What is your actual code

[normal crest]

highlighted is not a cardarea and so it doesn't have a shuffle function

Its just a list of cards

[minor furnace]

hmmm

is there a cardarea for played cards?

[manic rune]

what would i need to do if i want to destroy a joker?

[normal crest]

your loc should be in descriptions.Other.p_modprefix_key for booster packs

[frigid elm]

I blame the Steammodded API wiki for this.

[plush cove]

in most situations, you'd want to do:

joker_variable_name:start_dissolve()```
but if you're going for the way Gros Michel, etc does it, there's a specific set of code you can copy from that

[normal crest]

I believe that specific part refers to group_name

[minor furnace]

well hopefully it's G.play, otherwise I'll need to do something fancy

[frigid elm]

Yee, that fixed it!

[normal crest]

is this a new joker you made? if so can you send the code

[minor furnace]

yup that was it

[wintry swallow]

i realized i forgot to export the 2x spritesheet as 2x the size

[runic pecan]

That joker looks uncannily similar to a certain school idol I know of…

[wintry swallow]

it may or may not be

[runic pecan]

I don’t think I have a say in this but I’d rather you have your jokers cosplay as them without the clown makeup.

[tall tangle]

😂 no

Frighten the children.

[wintry swallow]

lmao

[manic rune]

yeah so uhh

[tall tangle]

Also, obligatory that's what she said

[runic pecan]

Oh, and don’t forget to put a giant ほ in its background.

[manic rune]

i got this code working and allat, but the thing is that: the card doesnt seem to destroy itself, so i have to do it manually through the line which was commented

but if i do so then it just wipes off the card completely, and the dissolve animation wont run, is there a better way to achieve the same results?

[wintry swallow]

oh thats so true

[grim remnant]

how'd we go about checking if other_joker_ret has repetitions in the first place? there's NO way it's as simple as other_joker_ret.repetitions, right?

[normal crest]

If you want to destroy a joker you should look at how vanilla destroys food jokers for example

[manic rune]

oh

i was looking at madness lol

[normal crest]

Yes it's that simple if other_joker_ret.repetitions then whatever end

[manic rune]

god i fucking forgot which file has the print function

[old bane]

I mean idk if this is why but like here's one of my booster packs

-- Basics
SMODS.Booster {
    key = 'bc_basic_1',
    atlas = 'pm_PMBooster',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { extra = 3, choose = 1 }, -- have 3 cards, choose 1
    group_key = 'pm_battle_card_booster',
    cost = 3,
    weight = 10,
    --weight = 1.5,
    draw_hand = false,
    kind = 'pm_BattleCard',
    select_card = 'consumeables', -- save the cards instead of using them
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card and card.ability.choose or self.config.choose, card and card.ability.extra or self.config.extra } }
    end,
    create_card = function(self, card)
        return create_card("pm_BattleCard", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, nil)
    end,
    ease_background_colour = function(self)
        ease_colour(G.C.DYN_UI.MAIN, G.C.RED)
        ease_background_colour({ new_colour = G.C.RED, special_colour = G.C.BLACK, contrast = 2 })
    end,
}

and then this is the line that the crash screen says causes the issues
localize{type = 'descriptions', key = _c.key, set = _c.set, nodes = desc_nodes, vars = loc_vars}

[normal crest]

You don't need loc_vars btw

That gets done automatically

I'm not sure on what the error is besides that

[old bane]

the thing that i got it on was the manacle, and i had two of my custom cards too

the game works fine after that tho, i restarted the run and it's fine

[normal crest]

The crash happened when hovering over a card?

[edgy reef]

Probably because the Stack Trace got the line wrong.

It's displaying info for calculate_reroll_cost which is a completely different function.

[normal crest]

Tbf they haven't told us when exactly the crash happened

I kinda assumed it was hovering a booster pack ngl

[manic rune]

yeah, wtf

i cant find that print function at all

its not in any of my files

[normal crest]

What function are you looking for?

[manic rune]

thats odd

oh, i added print(card) to debug some stuff for my mod earlier

but uhhh

im pretty sure i deleted all print() in my mod already

and its still printing that

[normal crest]

idk, maybe you forgot to save?

[manic rune]

my friend tryna run cryptid

[manic rune]

nop, i did

[normal crest]

otherwise if you're using vscode press ctrl + shift + f to search for stuff in all files

[primal shoal]

invaild asset/Atlas
either it named wrong or you misspelled

[manic rune]

im pretty sure its a smods version issue, which is usually the crash reason for cryptid

[manic rune]

i did just that rn, there really is no print() which prints out the card details at all

im actually gonna go insane

[white spade]

Does anyone know of a mod that adds different save files? For example, I want to play a vanilla file while one save I'd like to play pokermon file

[whole hornet]

ok i did not fix my problem
so i have a joker that i want double the players money when sold, with a max of 100

SMODS.Joker{
      key = 'century_egg',
      loc_txt = {
          name = 'Century Egg',
          text = {
            'Sell card to {C:attention}double{} money',
            'max of $100'
              } 
      },
      rarity = 4,
      atlas = 'century_egg',
      pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
      config = {
        {extra = 100}
      },
      loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = center.ability.extra}
      end,
      calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
          self.ability.extra_value = self.ability.extra_value + self.ability.extra
          self:set_cost()
          return {
            card = card,
            color = G.C.MONEY
          }
        end
      end
     }

this is what i got
tbh im just copying from the game files and seeing what sticks

[plush cove]

change "self.ability" to "card.ability"

[normal crest]

self is Not a card

[whole hornet]

oh, dope, duh

[old bane]

oh sorry i think it was legit just me entering a blind

[primal shoal]

atlas = 'century_egg.png'

[whole hornet]

i have it named right

dont worry

im learning

[novel violet]

hey gang -- i tried to follow the perkeo implementation for adding consumables to deck, and i'm having an issue where i believe everything it wants to spawn (including with blueprint/brainstorm) does it all at once (with the only interrupts being messages, which doesn't actually seem to affect the event logic?), which is an issue because, for some reason, that means copies of this card that can't add anything to the deck still give the message indicating that they have

-- draw stiletto on blind selected, if there is room
        if context.setting_blind and #G.consumeables.cards ~=
            G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    if #G.consumeables.cards ~= G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
                        local card = create_card('ESkill', G.consumeables, nil,
                                                 nil, nil, nil,
                                                 'c_Impact_KQSkill', nil)
                        card:add_to_deck()
                        G.consumeables:emplace(card)
                        return true
                    end
                    return true
                end
            }))
            if #G.consumeables.cards ~= G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
                card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra',
                                      nil, nil, nil, {
                    message = 'Incoming!',
                    colour = G.C.PURPLE
                })
            end
        end

i'm probably missing something obvious but i'm a tiny bit puzzled 😭

[primal shoal]

i thought it required the suffix for file type

[normal crest]

that's when creating the atlas

when using it in objects you just need the key

[whole hornet]

name is what the game shows
key is in the code

[primal shoal]

ah right

[normal crest]

Instead of using ~= use <

I guess now we have both Balatro: Star Rail and Balatro: Genshin Impact

[novel violet]

hehehe yep

ty! i'll try that

[plush cove]

next we need Balatro Run Kingdom

i sure as hell am not developing that

[novel violet]

we need zenless balatrone zero imo

[normal crest]

Actually I think you should put your message inside the event, right after you spawn the card, Perkeo is not the best example to base it off of here because it always creates a negative card and doesn't check for space

[novel violet]

[old bane]

next project for me when im done with PMCS

[novel violet]

I did originally put the message in the event - what it did was spawn every single card at once and it went over the limit somehow

[novel violet]

This did the exact same thing

For the record, when there's only 1/2 consumables, it will always trigger the message for every single copy of keqing

When consumables full and you start the round it'll correctly do nothing at all

[silk wren]

my apologies if i'm interrupting something, i uhhh. have encountered a mod crash and i'm not all that knowledgable on parsing crash reports. would you all mind if i post it here?

[novel violet]

you're making a paper mario color splash mod...?

what the fuck based???

[silk wren]

i have no idea what the hell is going on here, to put it lightly

[normal crest]

try the Purple seal code

[novel violet]

hmmm i'll look into that

[normal crest]

Also you can just do SMODS.add_card { key = 'c_Impact_KQSkill' } to spawn a card instead of using create_card

it will handle the adding to deck and emplacing for you as well

[novel violet]

did consider that but i'll optimize everything once it's functional - ty

[normal crest]

in that case I have another suggestion for when it's working, instead of card_eval_status_text, try

SMODS.calculate_effect({
  message = "Incoming!",
  colour = G.C.PURPLE
}, context.blueprint_card or card)

It might make your code easier to understand without needing all those nils

behind the scenes it just does the same thing you did

[novel violet]

i actually hadn't encountered calculate_effect in docs yet, thanks!

[whole hornet]

ok still wont work hmmmm

[old bane]

ye, i made a forum post in #1209506514763522108

[plush cove]

thats what I use for sleepy! :D

[whole hornet]

      key = 'century_egg',
      loc_txt = {
          name = 'Century Egg',
          text = {
            'Sell card to {C:attention}double{} money',
            'max of $100'
              } 
      },
      rarity = 4,
      atlas = 'century_egg',
      pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
      config = {
        {extra = 100}
      },
      loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = center.ability.extra}
      end,
      calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
          card.ability.extra_value = card.ability.extra_value + card.ability.extra
          card:set_cost()
          return {
            card = card,
            color = G.C.MONEY
          }
        end
      end
     }

[normal crest]

Pro tip: the set can be skipped since it automatically gets it from the center if available

[whole hornet]

do i have to call in the extra_value as well?

[normal crest]

Are you crashing or is it doing nothing

[whole hornet]

noing nothing

the sell is just 1

[normal crest]

try card.ability.extra_value = (card.ability.extra_value or 0) + card.ability.extra

[novel violet]

my implementation is accidentally extremely similar to the purple seal code, only difference is it utilizes G.GAME.consumeable_buffer. that's probably the solution here

should be an easy fix

[normal crest]

Hopefully

[silk wren]

could somebody help me parse this? i'd like to be able to use balatro again without literally nuking it FHFKLJSDH

[red flower]

I understand what you're trying to do but I think it might be better to use context.selling_self and ease_dollars

Rather than changing the sell cost of the card

[novel violet]

hey, it worked perfectly!

thanks for recommending looking at purple seal code

appreciate you

[grim remnant]

(sorry for the delay, was caught up in some stuff ^^;) it seems like this is storing retriggers at least, though no idea how to return 'em. do we need to store the target card's target, too? would we like. use SMODS.calculate_effect?

[normal crest]

After the for loop is over

return { repetitions = targetRepetitions * 3 } the * 3 cus it'd copy the card 3 times

That was my idea anyway, I'm not sure if it'll work

and you probably don't want to have that else branch inside the for loop

tho it probably never gets executed

[grim remnant]

yeah, that else isn't doing much. that message never appears.

[normal crest]

yeah cus funk is always 3, unless some cryptid card changes its values lol

[manic rune]

ooo, what does keqing do?

[grim remnant]

anyone who would willingly combine cuberry and gemini is a masochist

[novel violet]

she's not fully finished yet, as i still need to add functionality to the lightning stiletto -- but i've shown off keqing's main ability a few times already
she retriggers the first and last played card if hand is not High Card

[grim remnant]

well... it doesn't crash, but it's retriggering itself, which does... nothing. how could we point this at the target, perhaps? :o

[normal crest]

I don't think it's retriggering itself

It looks like it's properly triggering the played card 3 times

[manic rune]

o, i was wondering if the new consumable card she adds does smt lol

[normal crest]

if you mean the "Again!" message on the card itself you can do other_joker_ret.repetitions = 0 in your check for repetitions after you saved it

I think

I'm experimenting as much as you are

[novel violet]

not yet, that functionality hasn't been built yet! but check it

oops meant to reply to bepis

this is an example of how i want character cards to "synergize" with their respective skill cards

[manic rune]

ooo

looks very interesting

[whole hornet]

so

[novel violet]

diamonds will eventually correspond to the Electro element when i implement elemental synergy as well

[normal crest]

Diamonds feel more like geo to me

[whole hornet]

i tried to do what the hermit card does

      key = 'century_egg',
      loc_txt = {
          name = 'Century Egg',
          text = {
            'Sell card to {C:attention}double{} money',
            'max of $100'
              } 
      },
      rarity = 4,
      atlas = 'century_egg',
      pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
      config = {
        {extra = 100}
      },
      loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = center.ability.extra}
      end,
      calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_main then
          ease_dollars(math.max(0,math.min(G.GAME.dollars, 100)), true)
          return {
            card = card,
            color = G.C.MONEY
          }
        end
      end
     }

but nothing happes either

[novel violet]

i thought about it a lot and i really don't want the inert elements to be on the suits

cryo/hydro/electro were easily in there, tough fight between cryo and dendro for spades but i went with cryo because it was implemented first
