Genshin Impact mentioned?

[red flower]

does something happen when you play a hand?

[novel violet]

anemo, geo, and dendro characters will have synergy with all (or in dendro's case, all but cryo) suits

[novel violet]

yeah i'm making a genshin mod :3

[minor furnace]

I'm driving myself insane trying to figure out how to implement a specific boss blind effect

[whole hornet]

lol, yeah, it gives me the money of the vale of my hand

i see now

[red flower]

you have to change joker_main for selling_self

[silk wren]

i hate to bug again but could someone please help me parse this crash report

[whole hornet]

is there a funtion to see if the card is sold

[whole hornet]

ah

perfect

[normal crest]

cryo is spades, hydro is clubs, pyro is hearts and diamonds are just electro by process of elimination?

[minor furnace]

Essentially, when you play a hand it will score as the played hand, and remove the cards you select to play as normal. But it will score as if you had played the remaining cards, and the cards that you played will act as if they were the ones left in your hand

[novel violet]

that was the thought process, mostly - i figured electro for diamonds would at least make sense because keqing's lightning stiletto is kinda shaped like a diamond, and she was the first electro main dps

for the record i'm planning to add a skin that at least recolors the main deck to have sensible colors xD

[normal crest]

I was thinking that too

[whole hornet]

it works!

[normal crest]

Would you make art for the face cards and aces

[whole hornet]

but, it still gives me a buck

[novel violet]

someone else would have to make it. i am not an artist

[whole hornet]

let me see if i cant set the sell value to 0 by defalt

[minor furnace]

I think this would be necessary lol

[novel violet]

yeah absolutely

[normal crest]

fair enough

[minor furnace]

the game does not like me screwing around with cardareas though

[red flower]

my initial idea is to patch what smods does to the area calculations and change the hand area for the play area and vice versa

idk how easy that is

[minor furnace]

I'll keep that in mind as an option

[whole hornet]

rarity = 4,
      atlas = 'century_egg',
      pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
      sell_value = 0,
      config = {
        {extra = 100}
      },
      loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return {vars = center.ability.extra}
      end,
      calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.selling_self then
          ease_dollars(math.max(0,math.min(G.GAME.dollars, 100)), true)
          return {
            card = card,
            color = G.C.MONEY
          }
        end
      end
     }
``` this shouldn't work erase is not even typed properly

lol

[minor furnace]

I might be able to create a temporary holder cardarea, and transfer the cards there as a holding place while I shuffle them around? We shall see

[whole hornet]

and while this sells double of what money i have, it still adds 1 extra buck

how would i get around that?

[red flower]

no idea if this will work but what if you do card.sell_cost = 0 after ease_dollars

if not then you might need to hook card:set_cost

[whole hornet]

it crashes is i correct my spelling mistake

wack

ill try what you suggested

it works

i also got rid of erase_money entirely

and just did this card.sell_cost = math.max(0,math.min(G.GAME.dollars, 100))

for some reason i thought that it was card.sell_value

so it did not work when i tried it

lol

now i got to make the sell value show the amount before you click it

thank you for your help!

[red flower]

if you change the sell_cost in add_to_deck instead of calculate it should do it but it's gonna get overwritten by card:set_cost so a hook might be the only solution

[molten ice]

"ease" is an actual word meaning "gradually change", ease_dollars changes your dollars by the specify amount, it wasn't supposed to be "erase"

[whole hornet]

im dyslexic so when i compared the source code i thought it originaly said erase

lmao

[molten ice]

lol
to be fair the source code does have some misspelled stuff too like consumeables so it's a fair assumption

[minor furnace]

I think this might be my easiest course of action

[raw geyser]

Is there a way to add a mult bonus for the next hand? From a consumable?

[tall wharf]

holy shit unstable dev we have an insane mutual server and friend

extremely unexpected

[whole hornet]

how would i make that hook

?

[runic pecan]

My immediate thought would be:
Consumeable spawns a tag -> The tag triggers at the next hand, which adds mult bonus.
This is how I make one of my jokers that, after you sell it, disables three following boss blinds.

[whole hornet]

i tried ```local old_set_cost = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost(...)
old_set_cost(self, ...) -- Call the original set_cost method
if self.ability and self.ability.name == 'Century Egg' then
self.sell_cost = math.max(0, math.min(G.GAME.dollars * 2, 100))
end
end

did not work

[red flower]

can you print self.ability.name just before the if

[raw geyser]

I'm trying to find how a tag would trigger during scoring, but I can't find the specifics. Is there a link to your version so I can see a working example?

[whole hornet]

here right?

local old_set_cost = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost(...)
  old_set_cost(self, ...) -- Call the original set_cost method
  if self.ability and self.ability.name == 'Century Egg' then
    print("Updating sell_cost for Century Egg:", G.GAME.dollars)
    self.sell_cost = math.max(0, math.min(G.GAME.dollars * 2, 100))
  end
end

[wintry swallow]

is there no documentation on deck making with smods

[molten ice]

oh my god I just noticed, yeah that's insane lol

[red flower]

no, before the if
I'm pretty sure self.ability.name works differently for modded jokers but not 100%

[tall wharf]

i agree

[runic pecan]

Do we need to talk about which side is before and which one is after? (genuine question)

[whole hornet]

chill out my guy, i typed it wrong

[tall wharf]

anyway ^mult in steamodded when

[red flower]

no need for snark, I think they just misunderstood why I was asking

[whole hornet]

so its printing the value

[plush cove]

Updating sell_cost for Century Egg: 4

[red flower]

can you specifically print(self.ability.name)

[whole hornet]

wouldn't that just print the name?

[red flower]

I think it doesn't for modded jokers

you usually compare the key

[whole hornet]

huh

[red flower]

yeah

[whole hornet]

ah

should i just change the name of the check?

no wait

[minor furnace]

I take it back, there are way too many things I'd need to patch and figure out for this

this actually sucks to implement

[red flower]

lol

it seems like an interesting effect I'll check out if I can do it tomorrow when I'm on my PC

[minor furnace]

I pray my best bet is to figure out how to swap the cards in the cardarea, and I'm just too tired right now to figure out how to do it properly

[red flower]

yes btw

[whole hornet]

i did

it works but only for the first time

ill try to change some things

[minor furnace]

given enough time I'm sure I can figure out, but sometimes it feels good to complain about things

[reef gale]

i feel dumb

what am i missing

[normal crest]

you got a syntax error

[reef gale]

so where else is it supposed to go then?

[normal crest]

you need a comma after 'j_red_card'

'j_red_card',

[whole hornet]

ok i gave up and used AI

i feel dirty

[reef gale]

LAME

[whole hornet]

function Card:set_cost(...)
  old_set_cost(self, ...) -- Call the original set_cost method
  if self.ability and self.ability.name == 'j_nscabm_century_egg' then
    -- Update sell_cost dynamically
    self.sell_cost = math.max(0, math.min(G.GAME.dollars, 100))
  end
end

-- Hook into G.modify_money to update sell_cost when money changes
local old_modify_money = G.modify_money
function G.modify_money(amount)
  old_modify_money(amount) -- Call the original modify_money method
  -- Update sell_cost for all Century Egg cards
  for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if card.ability and card.ability.name == 'j_nscabm_century_egg' then
      card:set_cost() -- Force update the sell_cost
    end
  end
end

this works now at least, Nomad_00 — Today at 11:33 PM
looks like trash though

[reef gale]

welp lol

[normal crest]

G.modify_money does not exist

[whole hornet]

i know right?

[normal crest]

can you send the entire thing

[normal crest]

AI just doesn't help with balatro specific questions

at most it will help you with lua stuff

[red flower]

i lied

[reef gale]

here you go

going to change the text later

[normal crest]

You have a couple syntax errors near original_sheet = true

You have an extra } and ,

And orignal_sheet is outside the table

If you remove the }, above original_sheet = true line you should be fine

[minor furnace]

well I'll be

[red flower]

this probably breaks something and it doesn't make your played hand act as your remaining hand but it's half of what you want if I understood correctly

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = "-- TARGET: adding to hand effects"
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
final_scoring_hand = G.hand.cards
'''

obviously that needs a check for your blind

[reef gale]

IT WORKED THANK YOU

[minor furnace]

thank you though! I really appreciate it

[red flower]

now i need to sleep zzzzz

[red flower]

oh and it doesn't evaluate the poker hand you might need to patch evaluate_play a bit earlier for that

[whole hornet]

arrrg

im just going to leave it as is

[wintry swallow]

how do you make a deck

is it just with the Back thing?

[jovial harness]

Yeah, Back is a deck from what I understand (not messed about with it)

[sturdy compass]

That is correct

[random sleet]

someones using ai lets all point and laugh and shame them

[sturdy compass]

I think the reason they're called "Backs" is cuz they're the back of the cards

[whole hornet]

ok i fixed i got rid of all the unnecessary code

     function Card:update(...)
       old_card_update(self, ...)
       if self.ability and self.ability.name == 'j_nscabm_century_egg' then
         self.sell_cost = math.max(0, math.min(G.GAME.dollars, 100))
       end
     end```

voilà

[random sleet]

does ... actually work in lua

[whole hornet]

man AI actuly does suck

[random sleet]

yes

[minor furnace]

clearly this isn't the way to debuff a blind that increases the base chip score, because it just crashes. The Wall has lied to me...

        self.chips = self.chips/3
        self.chip_text = number_format(self.chips)
        return```

[whole hornet]

i saw what it was trying to do then did it myself

[minor furnace]

I think perhaps 1am is too late for me to be coding

[whole hornet]

samsies

[random sleet]

might be talisman jank

[whole hornet]

i got an exam tmrw anyway

lmao

[random sleet]

i am always going to blame talisman for math not working

[minor furnace]

talisman?

[random sleet]

i dont care if you dont have it lol

still talisman's fault

[minor furnace]

this is just telling me that the field 'chips' is nil, so clearly I'm supposed to be accessing a different field but I'm too tired to sort it out rn so that's tomorrow me's problem

[minor furnace]

real

[white spade]

What are some mods to play with friends (multiplayer wise)

[random sleet]

idk if it works with the multiplayer stuff but play my mod

[whole hornet]

what is it

shameless self-promotion for the win 🙏

[random sleet]

theres like 50 jokers and almost 100 consumables

[whole hornet]

what hands are added?

ight

i gtg

thanks for the help again

[random sleet]

little dog, big dog, little cat, big cat, skeet, castle, blaze

What kinda hands are those

[random sleet]

[modern kindle]

Shit fair enough

[broken cliff]

Little dog is 1 Bone card

Big dog is 5 Bone cards

All i know is if I'm at a poker table and someone pulls out a tiger yea ill fuckin fold

[random sleet]

Big cat is 5 ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** cards

Skeet is scram

Castle is 1 king 1 queen 3 jacks

Blaze is 5 ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** cards

[novel violet]

i've been having a lot of trouble with getting the game to find consumables of a specific type in my hand - i looked through here and apparently SMODS.find_card() is supposed to return a table, but attempting to get the length of the local var i assigned to it crashed balatro
i've tried several different implementations to no avail - this is just about the simplest i've gotten to it, all i really need is a way to reference specific consumables and have them send a message within the scope of a joker's calculate function

        -- primary scoring mechanics
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and
            not context.repetition_only and context.scoring_name ~= 'High Card' then
            if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] then
                local SkillCards = next(SMODS.find_card('c_Impact_KQSkill'))
                if #SkillCards > 0 then
                    for i = 1, #SkillCards, 1 do
                        card.ability.extra.repetitions = card.ability.extra
                                                             .repetitions + 1
                        SMODS.calculate_effect(card, {
                            message = "Again!",
                            colour = G.C.PURPLE,
                            card = SkillCards[i]
                        })
                    end
                end
                return {
                    message = "Don't Blink!",
                    colour = G.C.PURPLE,
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                    card = card
                }
            end
...

[broken cliff]

#nil =

Error

[sturdy compass]

the next is checking if the table is populated or not and returning a boolean. SkillCards is acting as that boolean, not the table

[novel violet]

oooohhh shit right

ok let me cook

[reef gale]

im so confused

[sturdy compass]

I'm not familiar with localization stuff, wish I could help

[minor furnace]

I needed G.GAME.blind.chips...

[novel violet]

well, it no longer crashes, but it:

1. doubles the amount of repetitions expected; only 2 of these cards are in the deck, but it adds 4 retriggers
2. completely skips the calculate_effect message

[sturdy compass]

Can you show what you have now?

[novel violet]

the first thing is weird but easy, just assign local var that's #SkillCards / 2

[novel violet]

it is the exact same block as above but without the next() wrapper

[reef gale]

i found it im just a dumb ass

[jovial harness]

Making mistakes is just a natural part of learning, don't worry about it

[plush cove]

WRONG!!!!!!!! if you make a mistake you should be EXECUTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[sturdy compass]

Alright so what I think might help would be to use a local variable in calculate to track number or retriggers as opposed to a config variable since that persists

[novel violet]

tbf relative to the message being completely skipped that's a fairly minor issue

[jovial harness]

and on the subject of making mistakes I've been trying ot figure out how to change the back sprite of a specific joker when flipped (for a single easter egg!!!!) and everything I've tried hasn't worked. Currently been trying a lovely patch but honestly I feel like I'm way in over my head.

version = "1.0.0"
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = 'self\.children\.back = Sprite.*'
position = 'before'
payload = '''
if _center.name == 'Okina Matara' then
    self.children.back = Sprite(self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w, self.T.h, G.ASSET_ATLAS["FinalBosses"], { x = 7, y = 2 })
    self.children.back.states.hover = self.states.hover
    self.children.back.states.click = self.states.click
    self.children.back.states.drag = self.states.drag
    self.children.back.states.collide.can = false
    self.children.back:set_role({major = self, role_type = 'Glued', draw_major = self})
    return
end
'''
match_indent = true```

[novel violet]

this

[sturdy compass]

Ah I see

[novel violet]

i've got no idea what's up with the Again! message just not doing anything at all

[random sleet]

blaze is five fces
castle is three faces and a pair
skeet is 2-5-9 with no pairs

[novel violet]

i'd expect it to crash at least

[minor furnace]

speaking of custom joker backs, we are in desperate need of one for stencil...

[reef gale]

i know it was the most obvious thing tho lol

[sturdy compass]

Oh you know what, I think the card table comes after the content table, not before

[novel violet]

oh my god touhou mod??

[jovial harness]

A final bosses mod, but yeah, I want to give Okina Matara a back door!

[minor furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/cirno-fumo-touhou-toho-2hu-gif-20230575

[novel violet]

that's fucking sick

[jovial harness]

It does have 1 implemented and 1 planned joker right now

[novel violet]

too bad it's final bosses only, i'd love to see reisen

[sturdy compass]

So it should be SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "Again!", colour = G.C.PURPLE, card = SkillCards[i]}, card)

[novel violet]

interesting 👁️

i'll give that a shot!

[sturdy compass]

fingers crossed

[novel violet]

well it did sort of do something, though it's incredibly strange

[sturdy compass]

oh?

[novel violet]

also the repetitions ... somehow got Worse

😭

[sturdy compass]

That's kinda why I recommended this to handle repetitions lmao

[novel violet]

you know what i think it's because i'm adding to the card ability

[jovial harness]

Are you forgetting to reset the card ability and it just keeps adding up?

[novel violet]

yeah you're right that completely flew over my head. i thought the config var was temp for some reason

[sturdy compass]

lmfaooooo

[novel violet]

i'll patch that and record what's going on

[sturdy compass]

Yeah no that persists unless you explicitly reset it

[runic pecan]

What is the new calc's lowest version number?
I need that for listing dependency.

ALPLA-14??b or something

[raw geyser]

Just so you're tracking:
It looks like tags only triggers at the blind selection, so it can't be added mid round and have effects.
I'm currently looking into creating a temporary voucher that will vaporize after giving the bonuses, because vouchers are processed at the same time as jokers

[runic pecan]

Counter point: coupon tag, and edition tags.

[raw geyser]

That's fair. Wasn't clear about what I meant.
There's no triggers between blind selection and end of round cashout

[runic pecan]

Show me your code.

[raw geyser]

I don't have any. I've been dragging through the possible ways to trigger tags, and all the Tag:apply_to_run triggers are extremely limited and none happen during SMODS.calculate_context

Wouldn't be too hard to make a Debug Tag that prints out any triggers, but vouchers will definitely work, so I'm going that route

[azure wedge]

hey i downloded a mod took forever to get to work but now whenever i hit the first shop mods or no it crashes

[runic pecan]

You'll have to specify which mod.
Also you'll need to provide the crash log.

[azure wedge]

sorry took a sec to get the photo

[raw geyser]

Got a confirmation that vouchers can affect scoring.
Tossed this into my SMODS.Voucher(table) definitions:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  print("DEBUG PRINT: ")
  for k,v in pairs(context) do
    print("context [ "..k.." ]", type(v) =="table" and "table" or v)
  end
end,

And got triggers for before, after, and everything in between

[sturdy compass]

Is Balustro the only mod?

[azure wedge]

currently

i have many lined up but i need this fixed first

[edgy reef]

Yea a month ago ish voucher calc was added to SMODS.

Like proper voucher calc

[raw geyser]

Yeah, it's looking like vouchers can have joker-style effects

[runic pecan]

Smods and lovely is like, the base of most mods.
Try only have these two to see if it works, and then proceed from there.

[edgy reef]

Mostly to un-scuff Observatory.

But very useful in general

[raw geyser]

I'm using it for a consumable that gives "+10 Mult to next hand"

[azure wedge]

crash sam image but no mod mention

[dim lynx]

post the whole crash

[azure wedge]

this the rest

[random sleet]

#1331462654732144721 message :?

[raw geyser]

It sounds like the smods lovely patches aren't getting applied. Make sure that your Mods folder is setup properly.
It should be Mods/smods/lovely.toml

[random sleet]

something like this?

just for uhhhh only one hand and flat mult

[azure wedge]

wait lovly in smods?

[raw geyser]

Lovely is the base modding tool. SMODS is built on top of it to be a better modding toolkit

[random sleet]

and i build on smods to make the most batshit insane shit

[raw geyser]

More of a consume it and get the slot back, and sometime in the future, get the effect

[random sleet]

do a tag maybe

i was considering tags for my own "buffs"

[raw geyser]

Tags don't have the calculation triggers unfortunately

[random sleet]

then make them have them

[raw geyser]

Would have to add it in myself, and meh. Would rather use a builtin tool

[runic pecan]

Have you test that yourself...?
Since earlier you said you didn't code it as a tag.

[random sleet]

tags arent cards

[azure wedge]

lovely.toml?

[raw geyser]

Not yet, but if they do, then they're magical. No code links to the tags during calculate_context calls

[random sleet]

smods uses a lovely folder

[raw geyser]

I'll check tomorrow with a debug tag, but I'm probably going to create a tag to "show" the effect to the player, but hide the calculations behind a voucher

[azure wedge]

is there a way to make game.lua to agree with pairs?

[sturdy compass]

It’s not game.lua that’s the problem. There’s a variable somewhere that’s passing in “nil” to a pairs() wrapper and that’s what’s causing your crash. What it is I don’t know

[random sleet]

#1209564621644505158 message i wonder

[azure wedge]

also is it soppost to replay the same seed every lunch>

i get the smae hand and discard everytime

it says nosave_shop is nil should i have plad balatro before getting a mod?

OMG that was the issue i never did a run of regular balatro

thanks @sturdy compass for the idea to check for nil

[sturdy compass]

👌

[novel violet]

this is kinda fucked up
if I have it modify config.repetitions for the duration of the round and then attempt to reset it to 1 in joker_main or final_scoring_step, it just... doesn't do anything at all? which is like, incredibly strange
but if I assign local n to 1 at the very beginning of calculate, there's no way to have that value persist across different context runs as far as I can tell? i guess i could reorder events to calculate n independently of the initial retrigger scheme but that's slightly annoying, let's give it a shot though

yep, that's all i needed to do xD

fantastic, now it's fully operational, i'll show it off shortly

keqing now successfully creates two Lightning Stilettos (desc needs to be updated), and these stilettos successfully add 1 to her retriggers each
these are independent of blueprint/brainstorm for now as to not be too terribly broken, but i think perhaps i will change that?

[sturdy compass]

I see the interesting thing happening with the messages now lol

[novel violet]

oh no it was way worse before

[sturdy compass]

[novel violet]

it was just because i had two entirely different cards defined in calculate_effect, i.e. one was sending the message, the other was shaking

(i am a big dumb idiot)

right now it's actually working as intended consistently across rounds!

[sturdy compass]

Huuuuuge

[novel violet]

tysm for your help

[sturdy compass]

Yeah of course

We gotchu here

[neat plover]

how would i disbale a hand?

[plush cove]

in a blind?

[neat plover]

and more precisely the most played one

[neat plover]

by a joker

[novel violet]

is there any particular way to dynamically check how many times a joker is being copied before scoring -- i.e. without iterating through each context check

[sturdy compass]

With how Blueprint-like cards handle copying, I would guess no

[novel violet]

that's a damn shame

[mystic river]

https://github.com/BarrierTrio/Cardsauce/blob/main/jokers/werewolves.lua#L37 this is an example of a joker disabling a hand
determining the most played i don't know offhand but i bet you can find it in the vanilla ox code

[novel violet]

but for now that is OK, very minor issue

ty astra

[sturdy compass]

Yup yup

[grim remnant]

yeah, it's the blueprint-like joker again. for whatever reason, after adding repetitions, those work just fine! ...but now, the tripled copy isn't working at all for non-retrigger jokers. (at first, it was also just straight up crashing if it didn't find retriggers because of a > 0 instead of a ~= nil which, uh, obvious fix. ;P

what're we missing here? the error itself seems to be the for loop itself (as it's only running once, not until the amount specified in card.ability.extra.funk), but heck if we know what the exact syntax is supposed to be in this case. it's just over 3:30 AM here, leave us alone... ;P

[novel violet]

extra retriggers are now functional for copies of keqing, but blueprint/brainstorm will not allow you to gain extra retriggers from lightning stilettos
i also made it a bit less jank, "+1 Retrigger" shows up below each stiletto but juices up the card that's receiving the retrigger

for my first joker this has been weirdly complex but it has been very fun

[sturdy compass]

Honestly going super complex for your first isn’t the worst cuz you learn a lot out of it that make the simpler ones that much easier

[novel violet]

that's how i do pretty much everything when i learn something new

i start big, frustrate myself to no end, and thank myself months later

[neat plover]

thanks!!

[sturdy compass]

My first joker was the Fortune Cookie which has a decaying chance roll and spawns a random tarot card, so I got a lot of valuable experience of out that one

[novel violet]

:o that's a cool concept

name is very fitting too

[neat plover]

just a question, how do you do those?

[sturdy compass]

I haven’t seen any other mod do anything with decaying odds so it was cool to work with

[sturdy compass]

This is a part of my mod’s wiki page

[neat plover]

oh ok makes sense

[plush cove]

I'm doing the opposite :D

[sturdy compass]

Jenga lmao

[novel violet]

out of curiosity, how did you store the odds

[sturdy compass]

It’s just held in the ability

[plush cove]

it's because it's a tower that you stack with mult, but the more you stack, the more likely it is to collapse and reset to 4 mult

[sturdy compass]

I take it this doesn’t work with Oops? Lmao

[neat plover]

i dont understand the code i am way too stupid

[plush cove]

it does work with oops, just negatively

[sturdy compass]

Lmfao

[plush cove]

if you want to double the chance that Jenga resets, be my guest

[sturdy compass]

That’s devious

Instead of slowly pulling out a block you’re pulling one of those crazy karate chops that sometimes work lmfaooo

[neat plover]

shaking the tower to get the block out

[sturdy compass]

Goofy as hell

[neat plover]

umm someone is playing jenga with paper and glue blocks

[plush cove]

i liken Jenga to Misprint because both can be reliable mult, but can also completely screw you over

[sturdy compass]

That reads

Anyways I finally reworked a card that needed reworking for awhile. I teased this in the Maximus server but never showed it off here

[plush cove]

defaced joker my beloved 💖

[sturdy compass]

Lmfao

You will have to find out his true form when the update comes out

[neat plover]

i am scared now

[sturdy compass]

You shouldn’t be tbh

[neat plover]

in a good way i mean

[sturdy compass]

Huh

[neat plover]

how good is it gonna be????

[sturdy compass]

Quite

Gotta make living with a Jimbo and this extra card for 3 rounds worthwhile

Not to mention you need Jimbo in hand for Coronation to appear in the first place

[manic rune]

jesus this seems really op

[chrome widget]

Attempting to draw something with a stencil right now and I'm not sure it's doing it right

[chrome widget]

Everything on the entire screen to the right and bottom of the card with the stencil disappears while the stencil is being drawn, and the stencil itself doesn't seem to work

[chrome widget]

oh hey that's like 4x mult or smth. don't mind if I do

[warm sphinx]

How would someone go about having a joker run a python script? I don't really understand this

[frosty dock]

anything is possible in the realms of arbitrary code execution

you can just call another program whenever you want

[warm sphinx]

But how would I go about doing that?

[frosty dock]

they literally sent the code?

you just need to have python installed

[warm sphinx]

I have it installed its just that I struggling to understand what I doing wrong with lua telling it cause it crashes balatro anytime I start it up

[rose dragon]

you need to require io

[warm sphinx]

Io?

[warm sphinx]

?

[jagged mortar]

yo chat any clue why lovely "mod" is throwing an error?

[royal ridge]

do you have 2 steamoddeds

[jagged mortar]

nah, just smods-main
should i get rid of -main?

[royal ridge]

it's fine

don't know what the issue is then though

[jagged mortar]

it wants this function to have 'end'
i'm not gonna pretend to be an expert in lua, but is there something wrong here?

[runic pecan]

What you're looking at is the so-called "Thunk-style indentation".

[jagged mortar]

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/fl0bh5

[neat plover]

ok i dont get it, but clearly you put a ton of work into this so great work

[manic rune]

thanks :D

[paper comet]

I'm making a new joker and idk why this is crashing - i even named the variable reroll_cost_ just in case i was shadowing a variable or smth (yes ik shadowing a variable doesnt make sense with that error message but who knows!) but i cant figure out why ability would be nil

[runic pecan]

It should be card.ability.extra.reroll_cost.
Emphasizing on the .extra part.

[neat plover]

how would i check if any joker is sold?

[runic pecan]

context.selling_self

[frosty dock]

that evaluates only for the card being sold

context.selling_card

[spring lantern]

there's also selling_card tho right

yea

[neat plover]

thks!!

[runic pecan]

In line:37, it should be config = { extra = { reroll_cost = 0, old_reroll_cost = 0 } }.
Anything outside extra might not be going to get carried into card.ability, I guess.

[manic rune]

its really fortunate how jokers in other card areas dont trigger, else id need to rewrite most of my code

[frosty dock]

wdym jokers in other card areas

[manic rune]

i added a new card area

i initially thought that if i were to put jokers in there then their calculation and allat would still work

[frosty dock]

only if you add the area to SMODS.get_card_areas

[neat plover]

this also checks for consumables?

[frosty dock]

yes, the card being sold is passed as context.card, so you can used that to check if it's a joker

[neat plover]

oh

[neat plover]

sorry for being stupid but how?

[frosty dock]

if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' then

[neat plover]

i hate when its that easy and i need to ask people

how do i add sell value to my joker?

[manic rune]

try looking at the code of egg and giftcard (wait is that the joker's name)

[neat plover]

oh

[runic pecan]

@frosty dock What is the lowest 4-digit version number (and one letter) for smods new-calc? I want to specify the dependency in my mod wiki page.

[frosty dock]

1306a, but i can guarantee you that you're not actually compatible with that version

i recommend you set the dependency version as what you developed it on

[manic rune]

just to be sure, theres smt like :get_edition() right?

[neat plover]

so this sets "value" to "value" + "extra" and then justs sets cost ? i dont undestand how "value" is used here

[red flower]

You need to look at what set_cost does, it uses the extra_value

[neat plover]

oh

[runic pecan]

It adds extra_value and extra together, and then set extra_value to that sum.

[neat plover]

i got that

[manic rune]

...damn, thought it would simply return a string like e_foil

[neat plover]

im not going throught that just to add sell value, imma search a mod that adds a joker that does that but thanks

[frosty dock]

get_edition is a scoring function

[manic rune]

oh

[frosty dock]

if you just want the edition key, that's card.edition.key

[manic rune]

thanks :D

[prisma loom]

Can someone explain why Edition application sfx is so delayed?

[runic pecan]

What would it look like if you dont use Event?
Just, straight up context.other_card:set_edition(...) in your code.

[prisma loom]

it breaks the effect

hold

[prisma loom]

nah, it breaks it

[runic pecan]

What about, instead of applying it when scored, try apply it in context.before/after?

[prisma loom]

it triggers on all held in hand cards

at the start and end of round as well

its a mess

[runic pecan]

What about DNA's timing?

Got to say, your video is quite lagging at the edition-applying moment.

[prisma loom]

context.first_hand_drawn ig?

[runic pecan]

No, first hand played.
first_hand_drawn is for the jiggles.

[prisma loom]

this?

[runic pecan]

Yeah, and it is in context.before.

And you only need to apply it once, so you might as well apply it before instead of during scoring.

[prisma loom]

???

Did I write something wrong?

[spring lantern]

it seems like you're returning the message on every context

when do you want it to trigger

[runic pecan]

Your return is outside of the if statement.

[spring lantern]

yeah that's the issue

what size are tag sprites usually?

[prisma loom]

which return?

[runic pecan]

32x32 for 1x and 64x64 for 2x

[spring lantern]

i assume they have the 1 pixel padding right

[prisma loom]

I put it back in but the Joker doesnt function now

[runic pecan]

Instead of return true, you need to return the {} that has message, colour, and card in it.

[prisma loom]

like this?

(it still doesnt work)

[frosty dock]

yes. the atlas size is 34x34 including the border

[runic pecan]

Remove G.play check, individual check, and repetition check, you won't need them.

[runic pecan]

Oh and instead of context.other_card, you'll need context.full_hand[1].

[prisma loom]

like replace all occurances?

[runic pecan]

Yeah, so the second if condition would be if context.full_hand[1].ability.set = 'Enhanced' and not context.full_hand[1].edition then

[runic pecan]

Have you noticed that you typed context. twice in each occasion?

[prisma loom]

oh shoot

I didnt haha

[prisma loom]

now card gets edition BEFORE joker even start jiggles and pops a message

[runic pecan]

Then I guess G.E_MANAGER it is.

[random sleet]

yes, you are doing it before any of the code that handles your return message. in fact you are doing it before the concept of your return message exists

[prisma loom]

delay is back😭

[prisma loom]

yeah, that's what Im saying

[runic pecan]

Then I have no idea how to help you further, since neither have I concurred over the timing issue. Sorry.

[prisma loom]

But why tho? its all inside the same if statement

[prisma loom]

All good, thanks for trying regardless

[ionic timber]

can someone explain to me why this doesn't seem to work ?

G.GAME[("Legendary"):lower() .. '_mod'] = 0.1

I took ownership of the legendary rarity and added a print in the get_weight, and the weight doesn't change; so my guess is the provided key is not the right one, but how am I supposed to know what's the correct key for vanilla rarities ?

[random sleet]

put the set edition inside of a function in your return like so

return {
  func = function()
    ...
  end,
  ...
}```

if THAT'S also not what you want, try putting that func inside an extra table that you return from the same return statement. this makes it act like another, following, "return"

[spring lantern]

tried to hook into set_globals on my main script to add values to the colors table but i guess it doesn't apply the changes

should i just make my own globals

[random sleet]

like so

return {
  extra = {
    func = function()
      ...
    end,
  },
  ...
}```

[prisma loom]

nope! the edition is still applied before Joker jiggles

[random sleet]

oh shoot you wanna do that with an event mb

[spring lantern]

i was about to say

[prisma loom]

yeah but that causes an SFX delay

[spring lantern]

if the timing's off then an event can help control that

[random sleet]

but you can use that to prime the event at different timing

[prisma loom]

So this is how it is now

so I should add a param under G.E.MANAGER?

for timing

[random sleet]

i think it defaults to before which is what you want iirc

[prisma loom]

when I use event it causes delay :(

in sfx

[random sleet]

also i don't recall what the set_edition arguments are, which do your nil, false, true correspond to

[prisma loom]

one sec

[random sleet]

i think you want whatever one is "immediate"

[prisma loom]

So immediate then poll_edition?

as args

[random sleet]

wh

what

[prisma loom]

arguments for set_edition

theres only poll edition inside

[random sleet]

oh shit

thats poll editions args lol

im on my phone srry

i forget exactly but one of the args is immediate

i think it's (edition, silent, immediate)

so like (poll_edition(...), nil, true) maybe

[prisma loom]

I found it in games code!

[random sleet]

but also double check that

yeah

[prisma loom]

hallelujah

It fixed it!

Thanks, folks!

[plucky goblet]

Is there a mod, or maybe a debug function that allows you to choose your joker for testing purposes?

[tepid crow]

#1228149931257237664 mentioned

[spring lantern]

i've never programmed a tag before so i'm kinda lost on how to spawn in and open a booster :x

[edgy mountain]

trying to check for matching cards when discarding

do i use full_hand or something else?

isnt working for now

[runic pecan]

What effect do you exactly want to achieve?
Like, what's your joker's description?

[edgy mountain]

check if there are at least 2 cards of the same rank on discarded hand

[west mason]

how can i use custom colors on the info bubbles? i want the 1 in 2 to be the same custom color as Sacred Fire

[paper comet]

thank you!!!

[frosty dock]

yes, you can use the same formatting in all descriptions

[manic rune]

do the same as how you changed the color for X3 Mult

[timid oyster]

Does anyone know if Balatro will load localization files without Steamodded or Lovely? I'm wondering if it's possible to make it easier for people to download my Māori language mod

[runic pecan]

My immediate thought would be how Burnt Joker check the hand type of the discarded hand. Such as a Pair.

[manic rune]

i think anyone who plays modded balatro should have steamodded and lovely anyways

but other than that, i dont think so

[edgy mountain]

burnt joker gets the poker hands directly

[manic rune]

imagine it revives gros michel

[spring lantern]

okay i made it work by checking the vanilla code but i feel like there's much better ways of doing this with smods

[edgy mountain]

i just need to detect if onee or more cards share the same rank

if i used the poker hands there could be conflict with mods that add more card selection

[west mason]

im planning for it to be a selection of up to 10 jokers, i dont want these cards to troll for now at least

[frosty dock]

practically, no. it's possible to insert localization by means of modifiying the executable directly but that makes it harder to install

[runic pecan]

On unrelated note, I'd recommend not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") for non-stone check.

[runic pecan]

Where did you declare the found variable?

[edgy mountain]

outside the if

the pre discard one that is

it does work when i check a played hand on before

[runic pecan]

May I see the full calculate function?

[edgy mountain]

        local count = {}
                local found = false
        if pseudorandom('jester_dice_play') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
            if context.before and context.scoring_hand then
                

                for _, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
                    if not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then
                        local rank = v:get_id()
                        count[rank] = (count[rank] or 0) + 1

                        if count[rank] > 1 then
                            found = true
                        end
                    end
                end

                if found == true then
                    ease_hands_played(1)
                    return {
                        message = "snap!"
                    }
                end
                if context.pre_discard then
                for _, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do

                    if not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then
                        local rank = v:get_id()
                        count[rank] = (count[rank] or 0) + 1

                        if count[rank] > 1 then
                            found = true
                        end
                    end
                end
                    if found == true then
                        ease_hands_played(1)
                        return {

woops

[edgy mountain]

it wasnt letting me send it

[edgy mountain]

why doesnt discord have a send message button

enter was just jumping a line

[runic pecan]

You just need to edit the one you already sent.

[stiff locust]

you have to close the section with another triple `

it wont let you send one that is half open

[runic pecan]

Hit Enter when your cursor is outside the code block.

[red flower]

print()

it let me

[manic rune]

hacks

[edgy mountain]

done

i still keep my moint about the send message button

[manic rune]

you forgot the "lua" part, but its probably fine

[red flower]

you need to click outside the code block to send

[manic rune]

print("wassup big dog")

r u sure your typing cursor is OUTSIDE?

it works for me

just make sure the typing cursor is outside

[runic pecan]

OK, there are... so many thing I want to run through with this piece of code, so I'll need to do it step-by-step. You OK with that?

[edgy mountain]

omg

yah ok

im bracing

[runic pecan]

First of all, you put if context.pre_discard then inside if context.before and context.scoring_hand then, which are exclusive to each other.

[edgy mountain]

oh

[runic pecan]

Second, you put if pseudorandom... then on top of EVERYTHING, which is not exactly bad, but I'm afraid this might bite your hind in the future.

[edgy mountain]

i thought it might be fine since both cases are mutually exclusive

tbh drag me i deserve it lol

[runic pecan]

By putting if pseudorandom... then on top, you are equivalently flipping coins Every single time whenever anything is happening.

[edgy mountain]

i can definitely change it

[runic pecan]

Third, if you're completely sure found is always a boolean value, you can use if found then instead of if found == true then.

[paper zealot]

And if you're not completely sure if found is always a boolean value, there's the classic if not not found

[shadow rapids]

...

That'd also perform the if with any other truthy value e.g. 1

I'm pretty sure

[runic pecan]

Hence, I suggest:calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.before or context.pre_discard then local count = {} local found = false for _, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do if not SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then local rank = v:get_id() count[rank] = (count[rank] or 0) + 1 if count[rank] > 1 then found = true end end end if found then if pseudorandom('jester_dice_play') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then ease_hands_played(1) return { message = "snap!" } end end end end

[shadow rapids]

Because both if and not probably use the same algorithm to force values into booleans

[manic rune]

if i were to use, for instance:

local rng = pseudorandom("example")

then i compare rng >= 1/2, then it would be very slightly higher than 50%, right?

[shadow rapids]

Shouldn't be

[manic rune]

really?

[shadow rapids]

pseudorandom should return a number [0,1)

Logically

I have no idea tho

[manic rune]

yeah, but without the "=" it would ignore if rng was somehow exactly 0.5

[shadow rapids]

Yeah

[edgy mountain]

working now

[shadow rapids]

Without the = it would be slightly less than 1/2

[manic rune]

oh yeah, thats right

[frosty dock]

the probability of that is negligible

[manic rune]

true, its probably like 0.0000000001% considering the number of digits rng has

[paper zealot]

The chances of that are so spectacularly low that you should definitely add a massive print log congratulating the user on winning the pointless lottery if that occurs

[manic rune]

good idea, i will do just that

[shadow rapids]

Also I've had an interesting idea for a mod that I don't actually think can be made

[frosty dock]

i don't even know why i did this, it's not even close to enough iterations to even have a considerable chance of happening within that amount of polls 💀

[manic rune]

lottery simulator 😭

[paper zealot]

Is it 1 in 2^64 with Lua's double precision floats?

[frosty dock]

that seems like too many

[paper zealot]

Since fractions between 0 and 1 would be able to use the full mantissa range

[frosty dock]

the mantissa is 52 bits though

[paper zealot]

Fantastic news, your odds of winning the lottery are 4000 times higher than i thought

[frosty dock]

it seems there'd be about 2^62 doubles in the range from 0 to 1 in total

however my guess it that significantly less are actually possible as it has to be somewhat uniform

[manic rune]

well, i mean, 99% gamblers quit before they win 🗣️

if its not 0%, then its theortically possible

[frosty dock]

given there's 2^52 doubles between 1/2 and 1, I would expect the lower end to use the same amount here, roughly

if it uses the full range there, it'd be 1 in 2^53

[paper comet]

ive got this now but still the same error

[frosty dock]

that looks like a bad context check at the very least

[runic pecan]

That... doesn't make sense to me...
What does your loc_txt look like?

[frosty dock]

but also your loc_vars has wrong arguments

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

loc_vars args are (self, info_queue, card)

same

[frosty dock]

absolutely not

[long sun]

how do i score on an unscoring card?

i did something with unscoring for Sketch, but it wasn't on individual cards

[frosty dock]

you just replace whatever cardarea check you have with context.cardarea == 'unscored' and make sure you have the optional feature enabled

[long sun]

cheers :D

[long sun]

sorry, remind me what the optional feature is?

[frosty dock]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { cardareas = { unscored = true } }

[long sun]

do i add that to my joker?

or does it go elsewhere in the code?

[frosty dock]

that just goes in your mod's main file

[long sun]

grand, thanks :D

hmm, no, it's not working :{

code:

if context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored' and pseudorandom('tennisball') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
        local target = context.other_card
        target:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_steel, nil, true)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

nvm

update lovely

[long sun]

okie doke

bingo, thanks!

haha okay this works well now :)

thanky thanky!!

[stiff locust]

when I try to play a sound from my mod the game keeps checking the vanilla files resouces/sounds for the file (causing a crash since it can't find it) even though I defined the sound with SMODS.sound and it appears to work there

anyone got any idea why this wouldn't be working?

SMODS.Sound({
    key = "s_tsun_probability_tm",
    path = "lucky.ogg"
})

sound is played here

play_sound("s_tsun_probability_tm", 1, 1)

in a joker

[frosty dock]

why did you prefix the key yourself

[stiff locust]

was I not supposed to do that

that's why it's having the problem huh

[frosty dock]

sounds don't have a class prefix, so steamodded doesn't recognize that you prefixed it

so the real key ends up as tsun_s_tsun_probability_tm here

[stiff locust]

oh I see

okay noted thanks

[old bane]

i just have a quick question: how does one update sell value to be a specific value? i'm trying to make a joker that has its sell value randomly change and i keep seeing that its sell value is 4 (which is most likely just the default because the buy cost is 9)

[frosty dock]

normally what you do is you don't prefix when creating it and just use the prefix when playing the sound

[stiff locust]

yeah that makes sense

I thought sounds would have a class prefix but i guess not

yeah it works now thanks

[frosty dock]

you can use card.ability.extra_value to modify sell value. it's additive on top of the base sell value (half the buy cost rounded down), so you have to subtract that if you want to set the real sell cost

[brisk pond]

what do you recommend for storing variables inside jokers? config.extra?

[frosty dock]

yes

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/47530378f0ce7a09a063e50ad1e9580d

what could be the cause to this

[brisk pond]

then to recall them I use self.config?

[frosty dock]

preferably not, as that doesn't allow you to change the values without affecting other copies. Use card.ability.extra

[spring lantern]

10/15 done :3

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/af19f1b4fae75e52829e054ba9bd7e6f

you can see how the hitbox of cards inside here is not aligned with the card itself (my laptop so bad gyazo bugged out 💔 oh, its a new card area by the way)

anyone encountered this problem before?

[crisp coral]

good time to hold G + A

[prisma loom]

apparently, adding "immediate" arg doesnt fix sfx delay :(
I was wrong

It's such a weird bug

[runic pecan]

That is not where you put "immediate".
Above func, place trigger="immediate",

[long sun]

how do i get the list of unscoring cards?

[prisma loom]

it didnt help unfortunately

delay persists

[hot island]

does anyone know if you can patch multiple of the same pattern in lovely instead of just the first instance in a file with just one patch

[paper zealot]

Yep! Use the times argument

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "self.SPEEDFACTOR = 1"
position = "after"
payload = '''
initSteamodded()
print('{{lovely:var_name}}')
'''
match_indent = true
times = 3

[hardy viper]

they do that by default

iirc

[long sun]

(bump :>)

[hot island]

tysm

if i do 9999 or something will it break or just do all of them

or is there a better way to do all of them

[paper zealot]

For clarity, you should probably count and specify the number, so that it doesn't show an error that it mismatched

[hardy viper]

again it replaces all instances of that pattern by default

[paper zealot]

Setting times to the right number will also help you recognise more quickly if your pattern is matching less or more than what you want it to

[hot island]

well i want it to work without changing it preferably even if balatro gets updates

[paper zealot]

Not necessary as CG said, but the extra sanity-check is helpful

[hot island]

oh does it?

idk why i thought it was only the first one

oh maybe i already had times = 1 on my other mod

[ionic timber]

is there an easy way to change the highlighted card limit of the game or should I keep screwing around with toml file etc ? I currently am doing this but it doesn't allow me to pick up more since it's all variable are attributed in the init function of cardarea

[hardy viper]

CardArea.config.max_highlighted where CardArea is whichever you want to change (technically this is still valid and changes the default but regardless)

so for example G.jokers.config.max_highlighted = 2

[ionic timber]

holy f*ck this is so obvious now that you mention it

thanks a lot !!!

[hardy viper]

np

[modern kindle]

i couldve sworn by default it replaces all matching patterns unless you specifiy the amount of times

[pulsar flower]

there's an optional smods feature that enables the unscored cards in the context as a cardarea but i haven't had it work yet

[long sun]

lemme attempt something rq :D

okay no i've got no clue =w=

i want it to trigger in joker_main, but i also need to access the context's unscoring cards too

[sturdy compass]

you would probably have to enable the unscored cardarea feature. Try adding this to your code
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { cardareas.unscored = true }

Not entirely sure if that'll do it but it'll be something along those lines

[long sun]

i've done that, yep

[sturdy compass]

hmm

[long sun]

i've used that for unscoring cards doing something, but i don't know how to check them, is the thing

[sturdy compass]

Can you tell me what the general function of your joker is?

[long sun]

+1 hand if played hand contains an unscoring Ace (3 [3] uses each round)

[sturdy compass]

And how exactly are you checking for it currently?

[long sun]

i'm not, currently, that's the problem :)

i don't know how to get the unscoring cards in context.joker_main

[paper zealot]

In my experience with Harmony patching over years of RimWorld updates, unless you're patching only a few things, and those things are extremely simple in a very stable or loosely-coupled class, it's almost certain that some of your patches will break between updates. There's just no a guarantee that variables will retain their names, or data structures will remain the same, or classes and functions will continue to exist at all.
If your mod is dependent on patches to the point where it will break down if a single one of your patches breaks, then there's also no point in trying to safeguard only some of them.
Sometimes failing early and in an obvious way is better than attempting to hide, sidestep or predict errors that might occur in the future. Only you can really gauge for your specific case, but something to think about.

[long sun]

though i used context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored' for when the game runs through the played hand

mm, i guess i could add those cards to a local variable? but i don't like that solution much

[sturdy compass]

Ok then, what I would recommend then is looping through the cardarea context and using get_id() to check if the current card is an ace (ace == 14)

a for in loop would work nicely

[long sun]

ohh, and then store that as a bool locally?

right okay :D

[sturdy compass]

precisely

[long sun]

i'll give that a go, thanks! :D

[sturdy compass]

And if that bool is true by the end of the loop, do your function

[long sun]

was hoping there'd be a better solution that SMODS allows, but i guess this context was only added a week ago, so =w=

thanks again ^^

[sturdy compass]

np, best of luck

[crisp coral]

woohoo

i love chips madness*

[sturdy compass]

wonky

[modern kindle]

that looks flames

[red flower]

we really need a custom area API

mostly so that dimserene's pack doesn't end with a dozen overlapping areas to the right of the screen

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/its-free-real-sate-gif-7215175

[maiden river]

True
But tbh there's not a lot of room anyway

[red flower]

yeah but maybe we can have something with pages if it overflows

[granite kettle]

Yes, I suppose we have done the same fixes to seeds shaders mipmapping, threads and reimplement bitshifts
#⚙・modding-general message
Also had to fix lovejs like you, basically dumb undefined check the sound engine that caused crashes

[wintry solar]

What exactly are you trying to do? I’m sure there’ll be some smods tool I’ve added to help you out

Eremel after we ask for documentation

[long sun]

sorry to bother, this line's throwing an exception, what's wrong?
for cand in context.removed do
the error message says i'm indexing into a table value

[modern kindle]

is there a particularly easy way to add a 'use' button to a joker? i dont want to make a whole new cardarea just for one joker and would rather make it have 'charges' that can stack and be used while still sitting int he normal cardarea

[brisk pond]

is there a better way to check for boss blinds?

[modern kindle]

i approve of the switch to dark mode

[sturdy compass]

you'd want for k, v in pairs(context.removed) do instead, where v is the current card indexed in the loop

[long sun]

ah i see, thanks :D

is that the same for glass breakages?

[sturdy compass]

I think broken glass cards find their way into that context so yes

[long sun]

coolio :D

[onyx sonnet]

is there a way to know how much the player spent on a reroll?

[long sun]

oh uhm, new, weird error

[sturdy compass]

G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost during context.reroll_shop

[brisk pond]

when calculating joker_main and before can you access the current blind?

[onyx sonnet]

thank you!

[normal crest]

G.GAME.blind.boss

[long sun]

it's probably here:

if context.cards_destroyed and not context.blueprint then
        local count = 0
        for k, v in pairs(context.glass_shattered) do
            if v:is_suit("Diamonds") then count = count + 1 end
        end
        
        if count > 0 then
            card.ability.extra.current_xmult = card.ability.extra.current_xmult + (card.ability.extra.added_xmult * count)
            return
            {
                message = card.ability.extra.current_xmult,
                color = G.C.RED,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end```

[normal crest]

Where did you get context.glass_shattered

[long sun]

that's the context that lists the shattered cards

i've used it in Coiny's code

[normal crest]

I don't think that's a thing, loop through context.removed and do if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_glass')

[sturdy compass]

It is a thing actually lmao

try ipairs instead of pairs actually

[long sun]

hokai!

nope.

same error

[sturdy compass]

hm

What's that line in misc_functions.lua doing? Check your lovely dump

[normal crest]

In that case it's probably only used for Vanilla jokers

[long sun]

for b, c in s:gmatch('()(' .. utf8.pattern .. ')') do

so that's the s in question

[normal crest]

What is the error? Could you send a screenshot

[long sun]

_ _

[normal crest]

I'm on phone

[long sun]

attempt to index local 's' (a number value)

maybe my code included a non-UTF-8 character?? no idea

[sturdy compass]

Btw here's my method of checking for broken glass cards if that helps at all

stg = card.ability.extra in my case

[long sun]

mm, okay

could you copy and paste that here?

[normal crest]

Boop

[sturdy compass]

Yeah yours would probs work better, this is an older Joker

[long sun]

oh, kay

[sturdy compass]

It'd be worth changing to that, even if just for debugging

[normal crest]

You're using an old version of talisman

So make sure to updatr before anything

[long sun]

oh, kay

maybe it's that? question mark??

i removed the bit about glass and it still threw

[sonic cedar]

how would i have a joker retrigger the use of a consumable?

[long sun]

perfecto, it works now!... for some reason :)

thanks ^^

[sturdy compass]

lmfao

lovely to hear

[long sun]

...oh, The Hanged Man broke it =w=

[brisk pond]

how to check the suit of a card?

for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    if v.suit == "Diamonds" then
        count = count + 1
    end
end

[manic rune]

v:is_suit("Diamonds")

[long sun]

will get back on when i get home, i have a bus to catch :)

cyaaaaaa! thanks!

[sonic cedar]

or actually for starters how would i even have a joker retrigger something

[sturdy compass]

For a joker to retrigger something you would return repetitions = [Number of retriggers]

As for cosumables though, I'm not sure if their use functions take a repetition

[sonic cedar]

do you know where i can look for it?

the consumable functions i mean

[sturdy compass]

Unfortunately I do not off the top of my head

[sonic cedar]

ah thats ok then

thanks

[sonic cedar]

is it an extra thing or does it go by itself

[sturdy compass]

the second one

[sonic cedar]

thought so

[wintry solar]

No

Not that either

In calculate

[sturdy compass]

Oh wait yeah I didn't even realize that was in locvars

[sonic cedar]

curses

[manic rune]

i overhauled how gacha works (credits to N')

[onyx sonnet]

if context.opening_booster is true, would context.card.cost give me the cost of the booster pack?

[sturdy compass]

This would make it attempt to retrigger anything anytime calculate is called. You should constrain it to certain contexts

most probably context.repetition

[sturdy compass]

Yep!

[onyx sonnet]

Thank you!

[grim remnant]

update on this: we're at least at the point where retrigger jokers are working 100% fine, but the for loop for non-retrigger jokers is still busted for some reason and it's still not retriggering the target according to card.ability.extra.funk. what're we missing here?

[sonic cedar]

i forgot to actually thanks

unless im foolish

[normal crest]

You have your indentation messed up, but that debug message about returning without repetitions is inside the loop

So it's returning on the first iteration every time

[sturdy compass]

I believe this will retrigger all playing cards with no rime or reason. I know you're just doing this to get a feel for how it works which is totally fine, I'm just trying to give you a sense of what it would do

[sonic cedar]

ok cool that's what i thought

[tall wharf]

wtf

madness but controllable

[onyx sonnet]

this doesnt seem to be working but it should from what i understand

whenever i buy boosters it doesnt do anything, but other cards and vouchers work just fine

[sturdy compass]

context.open_booster is what you want

not opening_booster

[onyx sonnet]

ah

ty!!!

[sturdy compass]

yup!

[manic rune]

did someone purge #💻・modding-dev

[sturdy compass]

wtf

[onyx sonnet]

man i know 3 programming languages and i still dont know how to read 🥹

[kindred heron]

Trying to make the joker to the left of mine become negative but i can't seem to get it working

[grim remnant]

we can still read older messages, it might've just been a weird hiccup on discord's end

[normal crest]

Use card (or whatever you named the 2nd parameter of your calculate func) instead of self

[sonic cedar]

alright here's what im working with

would that be the right context param do you thtink

[sturdy compass]

As I said, I don't believe consumable use functions can be retriggered

[sonic cedar]

what about the effects of the consumables themselves?

[sturdy compass]

Probably not since those are a result of those same use functions

[sonic cedar]

darnnnnnnnn

[manic rune]

unless you got patches, i dont think you can retrigger consumables

[sonic cedar]

i guess i'll jsut have to go with the orgiinal plan of the double probability thing

[manic rune]

oops, all 6s?

[sonic cedar]

yes but only for specific cards

i think that SHOULD be possible?

[sturdy compass]

What specific cards?

[manic rune]

it is

[sonic cedar]

i do the for probabilities yada yada thing or whatever and then constrict it to a certain set probably

[manic rune]

make a custom global variable, like G.customProbability or something

[sonic cedar]

probably the wheelcentric

[sonic cedar]

got it

[sturdy compass]

Ok yeah that'd be easy. You've just gotta take ownership of the card and apply your probablility to its prob check

[sonic cedar]

i was originally wanting it to trigger again, like a retry of sorts

but patches,,,,

[jovial harness]

Been trying to figure out how to use a patch to give a specific joker a custom back sprite when flipped but no matter what I've tried, i can't seem to get it to work. Been heavily referencing how Joyous Spring does it but even then, I can't seem to get any result other than "nothing" or "game crash"

[sturdy compass]

I think you could do that without patches by taking over the wheel and looping the check for however many of the card you have + 1 times

[sonic cedar]

i'm guessing id set it to the value of probabilities at the beginning right

[manic rune]

mhm

[manic rune]

pseudorandom(blah blah) < "that global custom probability"/ the odds or something

[sonic cedar]

i'll keep that in mind

[maiden river]

is there a way to draw cards from the discard pile to the hand? there's a function for drawing from the discard pile to the deck and drawing from the deck to the hand but the cards aren't drawn from the discard to the top of the deck (unsurprisingly)

[grim remnant]

even after transplanting the for loop from the last version where we knew it worked, it's just, not, for some reason. it's 100% exiting the loop way too early, that much is clear. but what're we missing here that we evidently weren't previously??

[sturdy compass]

probs not but I honestly don't see that being too hard to make

[manic rune]

hook the discard function, put every card discarded into a table and do some wonky stuff, i think thats how you do it

[sonic cedar]

where's that going actually
a separate section or no

[maiden river]

yeah
I was looking in the game's code and there is just a draw_card function that draws cards from one area into another

but I have to figure out the signature

[manic rune]

this is how gros michel does its rng stuff

[normal crest]

This issue remains

Your return is inside the for loop

[manic rune]

G.GAME.probabilities.normal is the "1", while card.ability.extra.odds being the "6"

so its 1/6

if you change G.GAME.probabilities.normal to your global variable, then you can freely manipulate the odds

[sonic cedar]

i seeee

[sonic cedar]

this isnt calculate is it or am i wrong

[manic rune]

it is calculate

[sonic cedar]

oh fm ig lmao

[manic rune]

its fine lol

[maiden river]

yup that worked lol

[grim remnant]

oh, THAT was what we were missing. for syntax is weird and our attempts to prevent infinite loops end up, counter-intuitively, Ruining The Purpose Of The Loop. ;P

[sonic cedar]

and then in the if check itself id put the do kv pairs thing

[manic rune]

mhm

you put what you want the joker to do if the rng check is done inside the if statement block

[sonic cedar]

what i have so far

i just need to figure out how to make the context be when using a consumable

oh wait

[manic rune]

oh, it actually should be G.GAME.farmerProb now that i think about it

and if G.GAME.farmerProb hasn't been set beforehand then its nil

[sonic cedar]

well it was set to GAME.probabilities at the top of the code

so then it's fine right

[manic rune]

so you want to do smt likee

pseudorandom('farmer') < (G.GAME.farmerProb or 1)/card.ability.extra.odds

[manic rune]

oh, probably then

[neat plover]

how would i add to the ante counter when a joker is sold

[manic rune]

G.farmerProb is a table?

[sonic cedar]

i just replaced the all6 probs with farmer's

[manic rune]

also, the first if statement is wrong

it should be card.ability.name == "c_wheel_of_fortune", im pretty sure

[sonic cedar]

oh i was going off of

[manic rune]

card itself is an object

[neat plover]

or just add to the ante counter

[sonic cedar]

wait i literally forgot im stupid 😭

[manic rune]

yeah its right, but you are comparing a human to a name basically, they aren't the same

you need to get the name from that human first

[manic rune]

oh lol

[wintry solar]

card also refers to whatever object this calculate is on

[sonic cedar]

pardon

[wintry solar]

You’d want context.consumeable to see what consumable has been used

[sonic cedar]

ohhh

instead of using? or do you mean an additional context

[wintry solar]

So this is a joker looking for wheel uses right?

[onyx sonnet]

@sturdy compass sorry for the extra ping but how does the "kind" variable for boosters store its info?

[sonic cedar]

for rn yeah

so it can double the probability

[sturdy compass]

What do you mean by that?

[onyx sonnet]

like if i wanted to check if it was a tarot pack, would i do context.card.kind = 'Tarot'?

or is it an ID

[sturdy compass]

This would be correct

[wintry solar]

So you’d do if context.using_consumeable like you have, then if context.consumeable.config.center_key == “key of wheel here”

[onyx sonnet]

Thank you!

[sturdy compass]

np

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok ok

[sturdy compass]

Actually wait no, my apologies

You would want 'Arcana'

[onyx sonnet]

👍

[kindred heron]

They joker burns before saying its last words

Dont look at the top its my first time making mods

[sonic cedar]

i mean it's just wheel_of_fortune right

[manic rune]

well, it's already dissolving so its not gonna say anything lol

[sturdy compass]

If you want the message to appear before it burns, you should put a SMODS.calculate effect() before the start_dissolve. It would look something like this

[kindred heron]

I want it to be like mr bones but it just dies

[kindred heron]

Thank you!

[onyx sonnet]

what am i doing wrong here?
im trying to increment the amount of selectable cards only in arcana packs by 1

[sturdy compass]

Unfortunately you might need to do a patch for that functionality

[onyx sonnet]

😨

hm

[sturdy compass]

Here are the two I have to change pack choice based on a modifier one of my cards changes

[onyx sonnet]

where do i add these?

[sturdy compass]

Have you done anything with lovely patches?

[onyx sonnet]

Nope

[sturdy compass]

Hoo boy ok

I'm boutta open a whole new world for you lmao

[onyx sonnet]

I gotta drink some water before this

Hit me with it

[sturdy compass]

So first imma refer to you to this part of Lovely's github. It basically gives you a rundown of basic patch syntax and what exactly it's doing https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[onyx sonnet]

This is mostly gibberish to me but i more or less understand the general happenings described in the example

[sturdy compass]

So to give you a tl;dr of the tl;dr, Lovely patches are means of modifying or adding code to vanilla files

[onyx sonnet]

mhm,i got that

[sturdy compass]

to start making them, you either want to make a lovely.toml in the root directory of your mod or a lovely folder that contains multiple .toml files. It's up to preference

[onyx sonnet]

i was using another mod as a template for mine and it seems to already have a lovely.toml

[wintry solar]

From memory it’s c_wheel

[sturdy compass]

Huh, interesting. You should be fine to add onto that

[onyx sonnet]

so do i just add your patches to the file?

[manic rune]

would i be able to use ★★★★★ in the joker's description lol

[sonic cedar]

oh real? where do they keep the keys

[sturdy compass]

You should base your patch off of this one but in its current state it will not work for you. You'll definitely have to make modifications

[neat plover]

still gonna ask how do i add one ante when a joker is sold

[sturdy compass]

ease_ante(1)

[woeful tusk]

how can i edit the "ERROR" text? im learning.
please and thanks.

[red flower]

can I see the patch? I thought it was pretty straightfoward

[onyx sonnet]

if i understand this correctly, G.GAME.choose_mod is a global variable that i can increment to increase the amount of times a selection can be made in a pack?

[sturdy compass]

choose_mod is a variable I created myself, hence why this patch will not work for you in its current state lmao

[normal crest]

in your loc_txt add a label = "whatever" entry

[sturdy compass]

I'd write out the patch for you but I'm boutta run out

I can still provide assistance through text tho

Sprite is at { x = 7, y = 2 } --god i'm gonna have to figure out how to use lovely to make a patch for a cute easter egg. #suffering. cost = 25, blueprint_compat = true, backsprite = { x = 7, y = 2 }, calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card.config.center.rarity == 1 then G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() context.other_card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5) return true end })) return { message = localize("k_again_ex"), repetitions = 4, card = card, } end end, }

OH THAT'D DO IT

oh my god it works

it was literally just "i needed a prefix" lmao

[frosty dock]

lol imagine the Balatro modding landscape with no forced prefixes

This line keeps on crashing, any idea why?

if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint and context.game_over and (to_big(G.GAME.chips) / to_big(G.GAME.blind.chips)) >= 0.5 and not card.ability.extra.death then

And the way I implemented it means I can actually give other jokers custom backsprites too

[old bane]

too many mods would clash tbh

[manic rune]

my j_joker wouldn't work :(

[neat plover]

so just like that?

[manic rune]

pretty sure it will work

if it works like ease_cash

[neat plover]

ok

[kindred heron]

How do i add multiple jokers?

[jovial harness]
