[red flower]

whats line 149

[worthy stirrup]

for k, v in (context.scoring_hand) do

[red flower]

oh yeah

[worthy stirrup]

should i call for ipair

[red flower]

it's ipairs

[worthy stirrup]

okay, ill try that

it doesnt change after scoring but instead its doing it before

[hushed field]

yeah, you want to use the eventmanager to solve that

[worthy stirrup]

aw shit, something new i gotta learn

[hushed field]

the animations and the calculations are separate concepts, so even if you change the suits in after, they will visually change before, even though they get scored afterwards

[worthy stirrup]

ten bucks if you do it for me /j

[hushed field]

If you can't find a mod that does it better, you can check Kino's code for the Benjamin Button joker, which changes ranks after cards are played, but it's a finnicky thing to make look really smooth. Though most people that play mods play on speeds so high they'd barely notice anyway 😛

[strong jacinth]

Erm, guysh. I need hewp.

-# please understand this is a joke.

[worthy stirrup]

do you think i could just move my code into an event and it would work

[hushed field]

mostly, yeah

I can't say I fully understand the timing of events, so I wouldn't trust my words too much, haha

[worthy stirrup]

ill do it later, i need a little nap bc i did so good today :3

[hushed field]

but really it's just a tool to help with timing

[strong jacinth]

Is it in smods?

[hushed field]

on an entirely different note, has someone messed around a lot with tags? I'm implementing variations for confections, which currently function by creating tags, so I'm wondering if SMODS already has systems to take care of passing information on to tags or if that's something I'd have to whip up

[strong jacinth]

You can check here. Not sire if everything will be there

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

[buoyant shard]

new modder here, I don't know what I'm doing

[hushed field]

yeah, no, I've checked that out already, haha

[strong jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/waterloo-roblox-where-is-code-gory-barraux-gif-24940325

[buoyant shard]

right, sorry

[strong jacinth]

Just a heads up

[tepid crow]

huh

anyway, show the pngs its trying to read?

[tepid crow]

I meant like in the file explorer haha

[buoyant shard]

[mod folder] \ assets \ 1x

[tepid crow]

also in 2x?

[strong jacinth]

Ive gotten this heads up, the files "can" be suspicious

[buoyant shard]

yes

[tepid crow]

oh that was more meant as a general warning? I thought it was more of an accusation haha

[tepid crow]

alright can you just go to assets, start a command line and do dir /s /b?

[strong jacinth]

Yeah, no accusations.

[tepid crow]

yeah that makes more sense then haha

should reply with something like

...\assets>dir /s /b

...\assets\1x
...\assets\2x
...\assets\1x\icon.png
...\assets\1x\sleeves.png
...\assets\2x\icon.png
...\assets\2x\sleeves.png

[buoyant shard]

...\assets> dir /s /b
dir : Cannot find path 'C:\s' because it does not exist.

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand

[tepid crow]

no not powershell, the command prompt

(at least, I'm assuming that's powershell?)

[buoyant shard]

how do I do command prompt?

I hit right click > open in terminal and it gave me powershell

[tepid crow]

if you go to your assets folder in windows explorer, go to the url bar and type cmd, then press enter

[buoyant shard]

the 2x png had the wrong name this whole time

man I love comp sci

[tepid crow]

yeah it was gonna be something like that

[minor furnace]

I love when people send me error logs and I'm unable to reproduce the issue

[sturdy compass]

fr

I personally love it when people report errors without even sending logs

[tepid crow]

I've gotten into the habit of asking people to please reproduce it themselves

since sometimes I just get error logs with 40+ mods

[lapis matrix]

Hey man the game crashes whenever I alt+f4

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[lapis matrix]

lmfao

[sturdy compass]

I would at least get a good laugh out of that

[hushed field]

I feel like my main player base is people playing in Dimserene and just DMing me a crash that is caused by 50 mods fighting for dominance over a hook

[tepid crow]

yeah that's always fun

[sturdy compass]

Dimserene's pack is a cool idea but it's so hard to make a modpack work if you're not gonna edit the hook/patch code to play nice with eachother

[minor furnace]

the answer to this is probably incompatibility with other mods they have installed

[lapis matrix]

i personally have like (1) experience with Lua and 0 clue wtf im doing but im gonna make... something work

trust me

[sturdy compass]

Do you have experience with other languages?

[lapis matrix]

very minimal LOL

[sturdy compass]

Anything helps honestly

[hushed field]

I do wanna find a suite of mods to make Kino really compatible with at some point, but I honestly wonder what the experience is for people playing Dimserene and finding Kino jokers. I guess most of them are just jokers with pixelated art, and then some are so tied to kino mechanics that they're just useless haha

[lapis matrix]

most ive got experience with is roblox's version of Lua and then http/css/python/js shenanigans

but in reality im Trash at all of the above

[sturdy compass]

Ah I see

[lapis matrix]

but dw... im here to cook.

[lyric wadi]

python is like decently close to lua

[sturdy compass]

Lua is pretty easy to pick up regardless

[lyric wadi]

lua is like python but even more words

[tepid crow]

It actually works surprisingly well tbh

[lyric wadi]

which might help cuz words do what it says it do

[sturdy compass]

Huh. Fascinating

[lapis matrix]

my adventure using Lua on roblox ended when i got to metatables because wtf... im not built for turning Lua into an OOP language

lmao

[minor furnace]

and now I return to: figuring out how to destroy a card as a blind effect

[sturdy compass]

...Lua is an OOP language?

[lapis matrix]

roblox's version is very commonly used as such, but on its own no

[tepid crow]

with metatables you can pretend it is

[lapis matrix]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

Interesting'

[tepid crow]

You can definitely make it crash if you really try to, but if you just try to play a normal run you'll probably not crash haha

[lapis matrix]

i keep forgetting its LuaU so i just say roblox's Lua 😭

[sturdy compass]

iirc Dimserene was looking at adding Maximus and with the amount of patches I do with that mod I'm scared of how it interacts with other mods

[hushed field]

Okay, so I'm trying to mess around with my Confection consumeable so they can be enhanced. Those consumeables are really just tag spawners, so I'm passing on info to a Tag:set_ability(), but it keeps reading the integer I pass into it as a table. Or rather, I'm passing a table somewhere but I'm not smart enough to see where

[clear epoch]

is there a SMODS table that stores all consumable cards like SMODS.Stickers is? i feel like it should be SMODS.Consumables but it seems to return nil for me

[sturdy compass]

like this feels like a lot 😭

[lapis matrix]

anyways, is there documentation handy anywhere for starting with delving into balat modding

[sturdy compass]

Absolutely

[hushed field]

I was poking around your code earlier today and yeah, you do a lot of cool stuff with lovely

[sturdy compass]

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

[clear epoch]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki there u go

[sturdy compass]

HA

BEAT YA

[lapis matrix]

thank you kind cat(s)

[clear epoch]

not on my screen u didnt

[tepid crow]

wtf lmao 😭

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lol

[clear epoch]

[tepid crow]

good news is I can already see you can remove some of those patches lol

[sturdy compass]

Like what?

[tepid crow]

bonus_mult is now implement in steamodded itself, see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/490

[sturdy compass]

I already phased that out lol

[stiff locust]

holy shit really

that's so nice

anyway when are they adding calc_dollar_bonus to decks

[tepid crow]

oh I wasn't looking at the dev version haha

[wintry solar]

When someone who wants it makes a pr

[sturdy compass]

I'm so sorry Lars it was customary 😭

[edgy reef]

ugh working on it

[tepid crow]

getting 98%'d for no reason I can't believe it

[edgy reef]

Dealing with homework rn

[spring lantern]

my game keeps crashing at end of round when i have talisman enabled...

[tepid crow]

Oh hey I have the exact same patch as you do lmao

[sturdy compass]

Which one?

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/the-Astra/Maximus/blob/dev/lovely/highlight_limit.toml#L16 and https://github.com/larswijn/CardSleeves/blob/main/lovely/expected_to_fail.toml#L18
aka

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/button_callbacks.lua"
pattern = "if #G.hand.highlighted <= 0 or G.GAME.blind.block_play or #G.hand.highlighted > 5 then "
position = "at"
payload = "if #G.hand.highlighted <= 0 or G.GAME.blind.block_play or #G.hand.highlighted > G.hand.config.highlighted_limit then "
match_indent = true
times = 1

[sturdy compass]

Ah yes the highlight limit

Very useful patch fr

[tepid crow]

yeah... honestly that wouldn't be bad to just include in smods itself

[mighty trench]

help me... modded balatro sages...

[sturdy compass]

It'd help a lotta people

[tepid crow]

the fact that the 5 is completely hardcoded sucks lol

[mighty trench]

I am trying to make a joker produce DNA joker when playing a hand with a scoring set of specific ranks

and yet it crashed every t time! ahh! how do i make it work please

[tepid crow]

@wintry solar seems reasonable to include in smods?

[sturdy compass]

The even more funny part imo is that even if you get the highlight limit stuff going, Psychic doesn't activate if you play a hand larger than 5 cuz it checks for >= 5

[wintry solar]

I’d rather it refer to a different variable rather than the highlight limit

[tepid crow]

🤔

why's that?

[wintry solar]

Allows you to decrease it more cleanly too

[weak gate]

are the cards I've already used or discarded in this round stored in some table?

[wintry solar]

Whilst not limiting discard size

[tepid crow]

can_discard doesn't even have a limit for some reason 😭

[spring lantern]

struggling with doing proper talisman compatibility for my mods over here whys it gotta be so complicated 🥲

[sturdy compass]

felt

[sturdy compass]

I was wondering why it worked out-of-box on my Six Finger deck. I never remembered patching that LOL

[wintry solar]

It doesn’t, but if you wanted to limit played hand size to say 4, this patch would conflict with being able to discard 5 cards

[hushed field]

i'm sorry to big number enjoyers but i ain't doing talisman compat that'd kill me ❤️

[wintry solar]

I might take a look at making them easy to modify this week at some point

[tepid crow]

I mean, not any more difficult than it currently is haha

[sturdy compass]

heh

[spring lantern]

should start with an eternal squareman

[tepid crow]

I think that's different from what eremel meant?

[wintry solar]

It is

[sturdy compass]

I think I see what you mean now?

[wintry solar]

In theory you could have a blind that only allows you to play X cards at once

That shouldn’t change how many you can highlight

It just shouldn’t let you hit play if you have more highlighted

[sturdy compass]

Ah I see what you mean

Yeah that makes more sense

[tepid crow]

it'd be #G.hand.highlighted > G.hand.config.play_limit (or similar) instead then right

[graceful magnet]

is there a way to check for the target hand of a planet card? I'm trying to make something that has a chance to level up the Planet hand a second time after one is used

[hushed field]

So, the set_ability() does receive a 'chocolate_bonus', but somehow it's the tag itself that gets passed through. I'm not sure how that happens, and digging through the code's not really making that any clearer for me

[zealous glen]

I have a similar effect planned, but my plan was to try and run the Planet's use code twice

[sturdy compass]

I think you can check the card.ability.hand_type

[zealous glen]

Because in principle Planet cards could do anything

[wintry solar]

I think it’d be G.GAME.modifiers.play_limit and discard_limit

[spring lantern]

so uh what's that lovely dump thing kids are doing these days and where can i get it

[tepid crow]

mods/lovely/dump

[spring lantern]

ah schweet

[mighty trench]

I am attempting to make my humble jokester my humble jester to make the dna AID ME when possible please :3

[old bane]

how do i remove a sticker >_<

[minor furnace]

it took me a single patch...

[spring lantern]

bro talisman really out here breaking the game over function 😭

what the fuck

this is where the crash happens only if talisman is running

like 2569

[minor furnace]

turns out it's a lot easier to solve problems when you aren't burnt out from coding for a week and a half straight

[wintry solar]

Let’s normalise not using talisman

[tepid crow]

Ugh but it'd break any complicated patches currently targeting that line*

[spring lantern]

honestly yeah

[wintry solar]

So would any changes to that line

[minor furnace]

why do we hate talisman?

[spring lantern]

mostly just tryna fix some issues because a couple ppl tried my mod with cryptid soooo

[tepid crow]

Yeah that's what I mean

[wintry solar]

It’s too aggressive with how it works/how much it modifies imo and relies on other people to stop it from crashing

[wintry solar]

We love breaking changes 🥳

[tepid crow]

I'd prefer to keep making individual mod makers to just patch that single line then

[spring lantern]

wish it handled stuff itself instead of forcing you to wrap everything in to_big()

[tepid crow]

big sigh

[tepid crow]

Lua unfortunately doesn't allow for that 😬

[frosty dock]

luajit2 supremacy

[spring lantern]

im tired of calling a func over and over that doesnt even have proper grammar 🥲

[sturdy compass]

While this works alright, eventually compatibility with mods not using the same variable name will probably catch up

[stiff locust]

it does have proper grammar

[sturdy compass]

which sucks but what are ya gonna do

[tepid crow]

rename it to too_big just to make it worse

[spring lantern]

hold on i think i'm the stupid one here

[wintry solar]

The amount of people who are trying to target it suggests it should probably have a proper implementation

[stiff locust]

big refernces bignum and saying to big is converting the number to bignum

but then they added omeganum because bignum wasn't enough for cryptid

[frosty dock]

it's still big though

just even bigger

[stiff locust]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

ok but what about to_bigger

[spring lantern]

im jus gonna go crawl into a corner

[sturdy compass]

[tepid crow]

Sure. If we actually properly notify any mods that target this line beforehand, I'm more than down haha

[stiff locust]

turns you into a glass card

[graceful magnet]

definitely doing the check wrong

[spring lantern]

shatters immediately

[sturdy compass]

I have to constantly change my Hammer and Chisel patch because stone card rendering keeps getting changed and I'm fine with that. Just let people figure it out tbh

[stiff locust]

ive never had to change either of my two patches

[sturdy compass]

I truly can't believe that tbh lol

[stiff locust]

splash logic rewrite/cleanup was not enough to stop me

[tepid crow]

Stone cards rendering breaking or not is very different from making users' balatro crash on startup every time lol

[stiff locust]

the other one is for custom text on the "saved by mr bones" thing
that would be convenient to have as an inbuilt thing but i doubt it's highly requested

[sturdy compass]

That is very true I'll give you that

[wintry solar]

It would be very impressive to crash on start up with this change tbh

[tepid crow]

just a quick example of some breaking smods changes :)

[hushed field]

if start_up then
crash(404)
end

[minor furnace]

the really funny crashes are the ones that completely close out the game without giving you an error log

[spring lantern]

anyway i'm still getting that end of round crash with talisman do i just give up

[tepid crow]

Very quick list of mods that seem to patch this line with the exact change I proposed (aka would no longer need to patch):

• Aikoyoris' Shenanigans
• CardSleeves
• Grim
• JamMod
• Maximus

and a second very quick list of mods that seem to patch this line, with a different patch than I proposed (aka would need to be updated with a new patch):

• Bunco
• Cryptid
• NoFantasy (seems unmaintained)

Neither of these lists are exhaustive; I didn't look that long.

[spring lantern]

i do wanna figure it out cos i still wanna play cryptid from time to time 😭

[wintry solar]

Do they all do the same patch?

[analog spoke]

how would I get this effect to work? (orange is the stuff I hadn't changed yet, first time making a joker in forever btw, also I'm in pre-calc I think, tho I'm not entirely sure what that means)

[tepid crow]

No, I just searched for #G.hand.highlighted > 5 in any toml file, on github and in Dim's modpack

[sturdy compass]

Have you checked the line in main.lua that's producing the crash?

[wintry solar]

Sounds like a compat nightmare already 🤣

[tepid crow]

Not really

[spring lantern]

if G.GAME.chips - G.GAME.blind.chips >= 0 then

[tepid crow]

We announce we'll patch it in ~1 week (or longer?)

[stiff locust]

wait is this a patch for like

being able to play hands with more than 5 cards

[sturdy compass]

What exactly is "value"

[wintry solar]

I mean how do all those mods already work together if they all try and patch it differently

[tepid crow]

they dont lol

[sturdy compass]

lmfao

[tepid crow]

Yes

[stiff locust]

I hook a function for that in tsunami

put me on the list put me on the list

[tepid crow]

I'll look at that in a sec haha

[analog spoke]

so, it's the kind of thing that cryptid does, like with the gemini joker or glowing deck

[spring lantern]

this is the line that crashes

[analog spoke]

I think, may have worded it wrong

[zealous glen]

What are you patching?

[tepid crow]

They can change their patch target to a regex that's if #G.hand.highlighted <= 0 or G.GAME.blind.block_play or #G.hand.highlighted > (5|G.hand.config.play_limit) then (or whatever we decide to do), and there shouldn't be any issues

[spring lantern]

just checked with talisman off and it's fine

[tepid crow]

asking if smods could have this patch #💻・modding-dev message included

[mighty trench]

chat the 'for' limit thing is going to be my downfall if someone could please aid, should it not be an issue

[zealous glen]

I'd say maybe add a variable that mods can alter in addition to the highlight selection limit

[analog spoke]

I'm planning on making a mod based off of the game Noita, and this is the first joker of that mod, and honestly my first real joker ever, my only other attempt was basically just an upgrade of the standard joker

[simple mural]

Hi

[pseudo cape]

does anyone know of any resources outside of the smodded wiki where you can learn how the SMODS.calculate function works? I'm having a lot of trouble with it

[zealous glen]

What are you struggling with in regards to the wiki?

[simple mural]

I want to make some idea

I need to increase the chances of Negative Edition by 2 times and make the same chance of Tarot and Spectral Cards with Negative Edition appearing in the store for it

[tepid crow]

as far as I can tell your hook wouldn't be impacted by the lovely patch

[wintry solar]

I wonder how many would even need the patch after it’s changed

[stiff locust]

i should probably still remove the hook after the patch is implemented though?

[pseudo cape]

just like how to use the calculate funciton, how everything works and how to use the functions without major issues

[tepid crow]

not really because of your j_tsun_holy_water, but probably simplified, yes

[simple mural]

Can anyone help? I just don't know lua, much less the mod API, but I want to make it and play

[tepid crow]

Yeah eremel actually said the same thing haha

[pseudo cape]

it might just come from me mostly not being used to the way lua is formatted, but it's just a bunch of garbled code to me

[stiff locust]

does that mean i get to go on the list

[tepid crow]

Why do you want to be on the list so badly 😭

[stiff locust]

all publicity is good publicity

[chrome widget]

How do I check that a card has any enhancement?

[tepid crow]

A couple mods will be able to remove their patch, a couple won't 🤷‍♂️

[modern kindle]

yea dont worry mine targets it too lmfao

[sturdy compass]

Hopefully I will because the less patches in my gargantuan collection the better 😭

[tepid crow]

SMODS.has_enhancement, check the wiki for the docs

[modern kindle]

pro tip fellas if we target literally everything then nobody has to worry if something is patched, because the answer is always 'yes'

[chrome widget]

I'm looking at the docs, which is why I asked

has_enhancement asks for a specified enhancement

[tepid crow]

oh any

[stiff locust]

vampire

[tepid crow]

I thought you were asking "how to check if a card has a given enhancement", my bad

[chrome widget]

get_enhancements gives you a table, but also calls the context to add quantum enhancements, which is unnecessary overhead

[stiff locust]

check vampire code

[chrome widget]

Vampire checks if config.center does not equal base, and I wasn't entirely certain that holds true in SMODS code

[zealous glen]

When coding a Joker, you'll generally want to break down its effect in chunks comprised of a timing and an effect. Inside the calculate function, you'll have to:

1. Check if the context is correct, to match the correct timing;
2. Apply the effect itself.

Naturally, you also check for extra conditions.

Some basic effects are built into the larger processes of the game or SMODS, like Jokers granting a simple +Chips bonus, so they can be handled by returning a table with certain keys. More complex effects will need to be coded manually.

Sometimes, even if an effect sounds like it would comprise a single timing, it's easier to break it down into multiple ones.

[wintry solar]

You can do card.ability.set ~= “Enhanced”

[pseudo cape]

thank you! this is actually like surprisingly useful

been like, looking at other code examples like from the smods examples and some other mods and all, and they're all yknow, fairly well written with everything condensed, I'm gonna try writing it out in more simple functions just to learn though

[zealous glen]

Some effects also won't use calculate at all, but they tend to fall into specific categories.

Conversely, some effects need both calculate and something else

[formal parrot]

Guys what softwares yall use ?

[pseudo cape]

I use vscode and notepad++ depending on what for because I'm basic

[chrome widget]

VSCode, Git Bash, and the pure sludge within my skull

[modern kindle]

for art i know my buddies use aseprite, otherwise for writing im using vscode

[zealous glen]

vscode, aseprite, openrct2, miktex,

[maiden phoenix]

Based openrct2

[zealous glen]

I also use sublime text sometimes

[formal parrot]

Thanks a lot

[modern kindle]

oh man sublime, i remember using that

[pseudo cape]

I actually prefer krita to aseprite, makes more sense to me

also I'm just not used to it I guess

[modern kindle]

i think i was a notepad++ representer when i was doing stuff for gmod like 14 years ago
but then i went to sublime, and from sublime to visual studio, to vscode

[pseudo cape]

one more thing, do you know where in balatro's code the actual calculations for the jokers take place, I've been trying to find it in the extracted exe but can't find it

[young dew]

does someone know how i could put this bubble above the achievement text? (ignore the comment lol)

function Showdown.versatility_description(temp_achievement) -- HOLY SHIT this puts the bubble under the achievement text HOW DO I PUT IT ABOVE
    temp_achievement.config.speech_bubble_align = {align='bm', offset = {x=0,y=0},parent = temp_achievement}
    temp_achievement.children.speech_bubble = UIBox{
        definition = Showdown.speech_bubble('ach_showdown_versatility', { ach = true }, { 'belbelebelb' }),
        config = temp_achievement.config.speech_bubble_align
    }
    temp_achievement.children.speech_bubble:set_role{
        role_type = 'Major',
        xy_bond = 'Strong',
        r_bond = 'Strong',
        major = temp_achievement,
    }
end

[zealous glen]

I think it's common events but at this point you probably should look at either SMODs or the lovely dump because it's been severely manipulated

[analog spoke]

is this too crazy of an effect?

[pseudo cape]

lovely dump?

ooh

I didn't even know this was a thing

[zealous glen]

When it gains X0.75, does the value increase or decrease

[modern kindle]

well when things like cryptid and shit exist 'crazy' has a fairly higher bar id wager

if its always giving a bonus and not chance based id definitely not make it common

this is assuming its always gaining and 0.75 isnt a reduction

[analog spoke]

decrease, the idea is that it can decrease the power or increase randomly

so it'd be a 25% increase or 25% decrease

[zealous glen]

when you say "value" what do you mean

[weak gate]

will it restore the cards to 100% values after each round?
if not, in the very long run it'll make all cards weaker since 100 * 1.25 * 0.75 = something below 100

[analog spoke]

so, with cryptid, there's a deck called the glowing deck, as well as gemini card, it's essentially the numbers on the card or the Extra stats

[modern kindle]

ideally thatd encourage decision making to gamble to a higher value, then sell off the card no?
not everything has to make it to the end of the run, just enough to help you along the way

[tepid crow]

I think you need a different alignment than bm

maybe cl or something? not sure

if you want top I think it's tm??

[analog spoke]

that's part of the idea! Polymorphine from noita can absolutely destroy a run, which is why it needs to be handled very carefully ingame
tho with it's balancing it may still need some number changes
The card will probs end up as uncommon, so that's what I'd need to balance it around

[modern kindle]

very fair, balance is something ive had to struggle a bit with myself as well
figuring out whats worth a specific tier or not or if something is busted, its only making it to x ante or only works with specific builds

im sure my shit is far from perfectly balanced but, theres effort lmao

[zealous glen]

So, that kind of effect is prone to breaking things, and naturally hacky. Try seeing how Cryptid did it

[analog spoke]

I'll try checking it, I tried once, but was a tad confused

[distant grove]

i made the new thing

[zealous glen]

you could try asking MathIsFun

Hi, this is my first time doing this but I wanted to know what is the updated code so that every time a Tarot card is used, a sound is played

[distant grove]

I’m dumb AHHHHHHH

https://tenor.com/view/von-karma-ace-attorney-manfred-von-karma-head-bang-ace-attorney-von-karma-gif-19478022

yea

what? did i do something wrong😭

im

[tepid crow]

ur wifi good? haha

[distant grove]

DUMB AHHHHHH

No.

Lagging the FUCK OUTTTT

Anyways

Wait

I’m supposed to put it in assets

I think

[tepid crow]

no

right there is good

[distant grove]

K

Now what?

[calm dock]

Im using a Update Function within a consumable to get some previews what Joker youll probably get.
But I currently have an issue, if you look at the Consumable within the Collection, it just crashes since Jokers are always nil.

Any suggestion to check if im within a run / collection view?

[buoyant shard]

what would you guys say is the best resource to learn how to program a mod?

[analog spoke]

I may need to start with something simpler lol
since my last joker made I actually learned a bit of coding (gdscript) and I think my main problem may just be not understanding the code system itself completely
I think it'd help a lot if I had a tool that let me see what a certain part of a line meant like gdscript has, lol

[sturdy compass]

I'm assuming you're using VSC?

[simple mural]

i found weight for the edition but idk how to change it

[sturdy compass]

Balatro source code, SMODS docs, and studying the code of other mods

[analog spoke]

yeag, before I was using notepad++ but I have VSC now

[tepid crow]

it should load haha

[distant grove]

All I needed

Was that….

[sturdy compass]

Gotcha, I ask because there is a Lua extension that would be very helpful to you in understanding the code a bit better

[tepid crow]

assuming you populated the json file yes

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/majin-vegeta-vegeta-dragon-ball-z-gif-27026274

[distant grove]

How

[tepid crow]

as in you filled in the empty stuff in the json file

[distant grove]

How?

Oh wait

[tepid crow]

so instead of "author": [""], you have "author": ["PEAK"],

[analog spoke]

oooo

[distant grove]

Nvm

[tepid crow]

etc etc

[distant grove]

Okay

Thanks man

Time to see if this works

[simple mural]

How can i change the weight of edition? SMODS

[analog spoke]

oh, I already have it apparently, but what's going on with that warning?

[sturdy compass]

When you open a folder it typically asks you to trust it, and it seems like you have not done that for whatever reason

[analog spoke]

oh 😭 I think I missed it

maybe autopilot clicked away from it lol

let me reopen them and try doing it then?

[gleaming zealot]

cash

[analog spoke]

GOT IT, the problem was that I was opening individual files instead of folders... I think... anyway I think that fixed it!

[sturdy compass]

Sweet

Yeah definitely be working out of folders instead of individual files. Makes workflow sooooo much easier

[analog spoke]

uhhhhhh

why does everything have errors 😭

[spring lantern]

warnings everywhere

i kinda just let it be cos it doesnt cause issues

[sturdy compass]

Oh god you opened the entire mods folder? 😭

[weak gate]

what's the function in the code that is run when you win a blind and the game is about to fold all the cards into the deck? before the cashout screen appears

[sturdy compass]

But yeah basically they're just being caused because VSC doesn't realize a lot of things are globally accessible since they're not in the same project

[analog spoke]

ahh

[spring lantern]

such as the entirety of SMODS

or the entire game object

[sturdy compass]

or the entire source code

[gleaming zealot]

IntelliJ my beloved

[spring lantern]

so quick question, if i want to trigger a joker effect after all cards have been scored individually but before the main joker stage triggers, how should i go about it?

[sturdy compass]

Oh that's an odd one

[spring lantern]

this is what i just whipped up (completely untested)

[zealous glen]

a few but you could try if G.jokers

[spring lantern]

doesn't work. not surprised

[calm dock]

I feel so stupid for overthinking it too much.
Thanks

[distant grove]

why is it saying my comma is a trailing comma

[gaunt thistle]

because it is

json doesn't allow for trailing commas

for reasons that are beyond my human comprehension

[distant grove]

oh

[slender mango]

so i have this joker
the timer value decreases but when hovering the ui only updates once until i hover again
how should i patch this

[rough furnace]

(the json parser SMODS uses does work with them, but this violates the spec)

[distant grove]

so like how i fix this

[rough furnace]

delete the trailing comma

[distant grove]

Don’t I need a comma for the code?

[rough furnace]

only if theres another element after it

(a non-trailing comma)

[distant grove]

Well I need to put the name so uhhh

https://tenor.com/view/cillianmurphygun-cillianmurphy-jazmincoded-gif-3811002643797340103

[rough furnace]

then write the name

[distant grove]

So no comma and we should be fine?

[rough furnace]

no comma on the last element

[distant grove]

Okay

Oh

[spring marsh]

Joker on left: Michelle
Create a random Legendary Joker when blind is selected (must have room) (intentionally unbalanced) (probably works better if you enable other mods)

[rough furnace]

(make it a common)

[forest ivy]

'Create a random Legendary Joker when blind is selected'

holy cow

make it mythical

💔

[spring lantern]

exotic

[spring marsh]

Joker on right: Hyehehe
Wild cards count as all ranks (be careful around five of a kinds and flush fives)

[spring lantern]

do they not count as all suits already

[spring marsh]

oops mistyped

[forest ivy]

peak

steel card's count as a steel card

[spring lantern]

ohh

[spring marsh]

Sorry for the miscommunication

[forest ivy]

i hope they both exotic

[spring lantern]

hack my buskin actually viable with this joker

[turbid maple]

jimbus company!!!!!

[distant grove]

finally

pls fucking work

im begging

[spring lantern]

should probably remove those template dependencies

[turbid maple]

youre not supposed to actually have those deps

[distant grove]

...

oh

welp

[spring marsh]

Hyehehe would probably be rare

[spring lantern]

just keep steamodded

[distant grove]

thats it?

thats probably what i just need

?

[spring lantern]

and remove conflicts and provides

oh and lovely mb

[distant grove]

ok

[turbid maple]

i mean this with zero snark but it will help if you try to understand what youre copying and pasting

[distant grove]

yea

fair

[spring lantern]

include lovely i mean

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/everything-is-fine-this-is-fine-im-fine-burning-funny-gif-12189737

[spring marsh]

Making Michelle exotic would require me to add the exotic rarity and also gateway so

[distant grove]

much cleaner

well

damn

[spring marsh]

The reason it says “be careful around five of a kinds and flush fives” is because if you play a five of a kind or flush five with wild cards using this joker, it will destroy the wild cards

[analog spoke]

to put into fake code terms, so I know what I need to figure out how to do in Lua in order for this joker to work #💻・modding-dev message

Context.blindSelected
For each 1 in jokers_affected
Select 1 random joker without immutable from joker slots, = CurrentSelectedJoker
Random Roll 1 or 2
If Roll = 1, CurrentSelectedJoker.config.extra =* good_value
If Roll = 2, CurrentSelectedJoker.config.extra =* bad_value

[spring marsh]

Now I just need to learn how to mod Balatro

[distant grove]

hope you do better than me😭

[spring marsh]

Oh yeah and make some more jokers for the mod

[spring lantern]

the pain begins once again... my shit dont work

[distant grove]

is there any example metadata i can find

nvm

[spring lantern]

this is the same mf that had me stumped for over a week only for me to realise that i had to update smods 🥲

[spring lantern]

oh jesus

thanks

i'm still in the eval this mindset

[quartz ravine]

It also doesn't allow for comments either. When I say that people tell me to use yaml instead but I don't like space delimeted languages

[wintry solar]

That’s not even valid eval this though

[distant grove]

this look fine or no

[spring lantern]

yeah i misremembered how calc_effect works

[valid stone]

Is there someplace I can look for a crash-course intro to creating a balatro mod? I'm already an experienced developer in general

[frosty dock]

you misspelt dependencies. on that note, i would recommend setting a steamodded dependency of at least the version you developed the mod on, else there's no point in having it at all

[distant grove]

so like SMODS.dependcies?

[frosty dock]

no, i mean setting the steamodded dependency not as (>=1.*) but as the version you are using when making the mod

[distant grove]

OHHHH

IM DUMBB LOLLLL

[frosty dock]

e.g. (>=1.0.0~BETA-0303a)

[distant grove]

thats the current one?

[frosty dock]

yeah

[distant grove]

thank you👍

[spring lantern]

order's all borked and it doesn't even copy half the effects properly what have i done

[distant grove]

idk

np

[analog spoke]

does anyone have a joker file for, like, the base 4 mult joker? I think it may be easier for me to work off of a simpler joker

[turbid maple]

Have you seen the SMODS wiki?

There's some introductions and links to example mods that implement various things

[valid stone]

Nope - I only just started thinking about this last night and had work today. I'll check that out.

[analog spoke]

nvm actually, I think I have a mod which adds a 50 chips joker which could work fine I think

[turbid maple]

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

love the cat image that gets embedded always

[valid stone]

Thank you I'll check it out.

[spring marsh]

I don’t like how cryptid requires me to downgrade steammodded

[turbid maple]

Do note documentation is far from complete and often you'll be digging through source codes

[spring marsh]

They’ll get rid of that requirement eventually of course

[valid stone]

I anticipate doing that, yes.

[analog spoke]

what is loc_vars for? without context I'd assume it'd do what config does, but config exists and loc_vars has a tad more to it than just a list of variables it appears

[frosty dock]

the latest dev version of cryptid (main branch on github) very much does work on latest steamodded, you just have to use that version

[frosty dock]

config just provides config values. loc_vars passes the correct values to the description and can also customize the description in other ways like adding info boxes and UI elements

the config table by itself doesn't come with any order, and sometimes you pass things as variables that are not just config values

[buoyant shard]

Both values show up in both spots instead of one and the other and I don't know how to fix it

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'swords',
loc_txt = {
name= "Swords",
text = {
"Spades held in hand add {X:mult,C:white}x#2#{} mult",
"Resets at the end of the round",
"{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white}x#1#{C:inactive} mult)"
}
},
atlas = "WombatsObscure",
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
soul_pos = {x = 1, y = 0},
rarity = 4,
cost = 20,
config = { extra = {Xmult = 1, Xmult_gain = 0.75}},

[zealous glen]

loc_vars?

[buoyant shard]

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

[clear epoch]

well there u go u used Xmult twice instead of Xmult_gain

[ivory coral]

well you have both defined as center.ability.extra.Xmult
one of them should be center.ability.extra.Xmult_gain

[buoyant shard]

thanks guys

[ivory coral]

no worries it just happens

[clear epoch]

does smods override the cards_destroyed context and if so what should i use instead?

i have a joker that's similar to caino but it won't trigger no matter what

[ivory coral]

context.destroying_card?

[chrome widget]

Hmm, I'm trying to implement a card behavior that "retriggers all scored enhancement effects". However, I'm not sure how possible this is to future proof it for mod compatibility

In vanilla, scoring enhanements are Glass, Lucky, Stone, Bonus, and Mult, so I could easily program those in by name

But that would be restrictive

[clear epoch]

that one just destroys the played cards i believe

and i just tried it and that's what ended up happening

[ivory coral]

well its what caino actually uses, so it should be able to check for the card being destroyed somehow

[clear epoch]

caino actually uses cards_destroyed, i just triple checked

that's why i asked if smods somehow overrides that

[sturdy compass]

I believe it does

[ivory coral]

oooh wait your right im actually just illiterate mb

[clear epoch]

dw there's so many card destroying contexts i wouldn't blame you

[ivory coral]

im not sure if it exists but you could at least find out by adding something benign like a print() in context.cards_destroyed right

also maybe try context.remove_playing_cards

[clear epoch]

i just solved it myself by looking in smods source code, there's context.removed which is a table that holds destroyed cards

so i ended up just checking if context.removed which is honestly probably not the intended use case but works nonetheless i suppose

[ivory coral]

neat if it works it works

[clear epoch]

indeed

but why are there so many card removing contexts ;-;

[woeful tusk]

Is it possible to ban enhancements? like in a challenge deck ban glass cards appearing from standard packs or from incantation aside from just banning justice

[clear epoch]

i believe G.GAME.banned_keys is for that

and you put "m_glass" in there

[distant grove]

anybody know what to do next or to fix anything?

[woeful tusk]

oh thank you i will dig into it im learning

[distant grove]

My lag

Is selling

I sent the img and msg two whole minutes ago

FINALLY

anything to uhh change or fix?

because the mod is still not appearing in the game

lol

[turbid maple]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

whats the folder structure and do you see any error messages in the console

[distant grove]

nope

everything seems fine

[ivory coral]

i take it this is in your Balatro\Mods\jimborjulez
you can load other mods fine?

[distant grove]

yea

[distant grove]

the id has to match the mod name yea?

wait

i might be a dumbass

[ivory coral]

i think it has to match the id

[distant grove]

im

uh

hmm

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-vault-boy-gif-25829148

nope still dont see it

[ivory coral]

oh thats odd
youre sure theres no typos or anything

[rough furnace]

check logs

[ivory coral]

as long as the id in the folder name and the id in the json are the same it should work
just to be sure too, you have a steammodded version that supports the json metadata system, yes?

[distant grove]

which one is that

[rough furnace]

theres a bunch of ways it can fail to load metadatas

when it fails it logs

[distant grove]

its just

not there

at all lol

[rough furnace]

show logs

[ivory coral]

this image seems to me like your file structure is still wrong
the folder that has your main.lua and json file should have the same name as your mod's id

[rough furnace]

the name doesn't need to match

[ivory coral]

oh does it not

[rough furnace]

no

[ivory coral]

nvm me then

[distant grove]

i press cmd shift p than type in show logs yea?

in vscode

[rough furnace]

no\

[distant grove]

oh

[rough furnace]

they should be in Mods > lovely > log or printed when running the game in the temrinal

[distant grove]

oh yea

[distant grove]

ah

[rough furnace]

you shouldn't have a header and json file

[distant grove]

i dont see a header in main.lua

[rough furnace]

did you save the file?

[distant grove]

which?

[rough furnace]

all of them

[distant grove]

i dont remeber

i can save them rn

[ivory coral]

double check main.lua that it doesnt have a header, then save it and reload the game

[distant grove]

k

[analog spoke]

the game isn't able to grab my joker's atlas for some reason (didn't finish the effect yet, just wanted to see if the joker appeared correctly ingame)
anything wrong here that you can notice?

[rough furnace]

the atlas would have your mods prefix on it

you can also save the result of calling SMODS.Atlas to a variable then go atlas.key

oh wait

[distant grove]

still doesnt appear in my mods

[rough furnace]

nvm I'm wrong

[rough furnace]

check logs now

[analog spoke]

this is what it says in game

[rough furnace]

actually what version of SMODS do you have?

[distant grove]

the latest one

i believe

wait

[rough furnace]

give the number

[distant grove]

oh

i think i left the older version ij

when i played cryptid

[analog spoke]

what it looks like after updating it to have my mod prefix (if i understood currectly lol)

[distant grove]

alr now it shows this

[ivory coral]

good news is its loading the mod, congrats

[distant grove]

im a dumbass

and forgot to switch😭

im sorry fellas

[ivory coral]

now its just fixing your code a bit
its SMODS.Atlas

[ivory coral]

it happens, dw about it

[distant grove]

uhh

i replaced SMODS.ATLAS as SMODS.Atlas

and it happend.

again

[ivory coral]

also i think key, path, px, and py shouldnt be capitalized

[distant grove]

oh

[ivory coral]

are you sure you saved it

[distant grove]

yea

[ivory coral]

because its still reading ATLAS apparently which is odd if you replaced it

[rough furnace]

also nice mod id

[distant grove]

alr now its saved

[distant grove]

who?

[rough furnace]

you

[distant grove]

uh thanks?

[rough furnace]

I was being sarcastic

[distant grove]

ah

cant tell

[analog spoke]

only just remembered that you can copy the crash to clipboard lol

[tender python]

hello I was wondering if theres code anywhere for blueprint/brainstorm effects?

[distant grove]

im getting closer

hopefully

[analog spoke]

I think we both have the same problem now 😭

[distant grove]

fr😭

you mod before?

[ivory coral]

convergent evolution of errors

[distant grove]

frfr

we burning out with this one

[ivory coral]

confirm that path is the directory of your spritesheet starting at assets?
so if its assets/Jokers.png your path should be path = 'Jokers.png'

[analog spoke]

me? kind of, I tried before, and ended up making a single simple joker which I think gave mult whenever you scored a spades card but then I stopped lol 😭

[distant grove]

dont worry we'll get through this war

after i have 10 grand children

[analog spoke]

I believe in you/us

[distant grove]

the two same pngs but different width and heigh

should be in both of these yea?

[ivory coral]

oh yes like that

[distant grove]

and both should be called Jokers.png

[ivory coral]

yes

[distant grove]

hmm

[ivory coral]

2x at 2x scale

[distant grove]

ah okay

this path SEEMS right

[ivory coral]

it does

[buoyant shard]

My joker that triggers on reroll isn't triggering

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'limbo',
loc_txt = {
name= "Limbo",
text = {
"Each joker gives +{C:chips}#1#{} chips",
"Creates a {C:attention}negative tag{}",
"after 4 shop rerolls",
"{C:inactive}(Currently {C:attention}#2#/4{})"
}
},
atlas = "WombatsObscure",
pos = {x = 4, y = 0},
rarity = 1,
cost = 2,
config = { extra = {chips = 30, cooldown = 0}},
loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
return {vars = {center.ability.extra.chips, center.ability.extra.cooldown}}
end,
calculate = function(self,card,context)
if context.other_joker then
return {
chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips,
colour = G.C.CHIPS
}
end
if context.shop_reroll then
card.ability.extra.cooldown = card.ability.extra.cooldown + 1
if card.ability.extra.cooldown < 4 then
return {
message = 'Close The World!'
}
else if card.ability.extra.cooldown == 4 then
card.ability.extra.cooldown = 0
add_tag(Tag('tag_negative'))
return {
message = 'Open The Next!'
}
end
end
end
end
}

[distant grove]

holy moly

[analog spoke]

this is what mine looks like

[distant grove]

uhh

[ivory coral]

its context.reroll_shop

[analog spoke]

and atlas

[distant grove]

this is my png

loll

[quartz ravine]

Anyone mind reviewing one of my new jokers?

It is working to add new cards but it has two issues

A. The card gets added to the deck, not my hand, and the real issue
B. The animation is super weird.

The second the hand goes to be scored, I can see the count of cards in my deck increase. It doesn't go along with the joker saying 'COPIED'

[analog spoke]

my potion and her 14 mr bones

[distant grove]

we're supposed to have a sheet?

i was going to do them individually

[analog spoke]

there's a couple ways I've seen it, but this is the most common

[distant grove]

huh

[ivory coral]

either way works techincally but its way easier to have each sprite share an image file like how vanilla does it

[distant grove]

ok

[analog spoke]

one I saw had a giant string of just 1 column of jokers

[distant grove]

but how would the game know to go to another picture for another joker?

[quartz ravine]

PEAK - you use pos x,y to say which picture to use.

[distant grove]

oh

[distant grove]

OHHHHH

i see i see

[quartz ravine]

here's my card with the weird appearing logic problem if anyone ways to be a saint

[analog spoke]

here, so 0, 0 is the potion

[ivory coral]

you have a sheet of sprites, the atlas px and pytell how long and wide each individual sprite is, pos when defining jokers tells it which sprite to use

[distant grove]

waittt

did i not put pos.

💀

[ivory coral]

i think in theory you dont have to (it should still load just without a sprite) but you can try that

[distant grove]

k

[ivory coral]

atlas = '<your atlas key>
pos = {x = <x position>, y = <y position>}

in your SMODS.Joker{}

[distant grove]

thanks

[analog spoke]

mine from the atlas to the pos

[buoyant shard]

I'm playing a test run of that joker I posted earlier and I've been rerolling to my heart's content but now I have four copies

[distant grove]

so whats the problem with me and railgun ;lol

[buoyant shard]

two just showed up at the same time

how is this possible?

[distant grove]

yea

[analog spoke]

this is my crash

[distant grove]

seems like we're having the same thing LOL

[ivory coral]

imma try and read the files and see whats going wrong at line 363 one sec

[distant grove]

k

[quartz ravine]

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong here? The copied card ends up in my deck, not in my hand like DNA does

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card and context.other_card.ability 
    and context.other_card.ability.name == 'Gold Card' and not context.repetition then
    --card is golden, roll to see if we copy it
    if pseudorandom('goldretriever') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.odds then
        --we are copying it
        sendInfoMessage("LuckY! Copying this card", "goldenRepeater")
        --old logic, restored
        G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
        local _card = copy_card(context.other_card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
        _card:add_to_deck()
        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
        G.deck:emplace(_card)
        table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
        playing_card_joker_effects({ true })
        card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil,
            { message = localize('k_copied_ex'), colour = G.C.FILTER })

[mystic river]

G.deck:emplace(_card) should be G.hand:emplace(_card)

i believe

[buoyant shard]

about my "bug" where I kept getting duplicate jokers... I forgot I had showman

[woeful tusk]

i cant get it to work

[ivory coral]

ok so somewhere your atlas image isnt right
make absolutely sure that in Mods/<your mod>/assets/1x there is a file called Jokers.png

[distant grove]

both have the right names

[analog spoke]

picture from before

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1233186615086813277/1346292166821150771/image.png?ex=67c7a7c9&is=67c65649&hm=66db9dd5a77290c92bc6960270679b70f8eb95be139c060f54a907bb4361d1ed&

wait...

ok, I spotted something on my side

[ivory coral]

theres no file extension stuff going on right

its not secretely .png.png

[distant grove]

nope

wait

what if it was

yea nope same crash

[analog spoke]

whatever this means

[ivory coral]

path wants the whole filepath including the extension (.png, .txt, whatever)
idk if you have it so that it shows those in your file explorer

[ivory coral]

?

[analog spoke]

for the .png.png thing

[ivory coral]

ooh
no that looks good to me i think

[distant grove]

my mac lets me have the choice to turn the thing into a png

so i dont think its with that

[quartz ravine]

This was the fix! thanks

[analog spoke]

also, the thing I noticed was the atlas for the joker being set to 'noit_atlas' instead of 'noitro_atlas' but changing it didn't fix it

the only thing I can think of that links us here might have to do with our steammodded version? as I recall PEAK saying that they had to lower their's to play cryptid and I play jens almanac

[quartz ravine]

I am still having a weird issue with the copied card appearing as soon as scoring starts, it does not wait until the individual card is being scored

OH I wasn't in context.individual

[ivory coral]

yeah maybe both of you try just reinstalling steammodded and see if it does anything
make sure its the right one and not the deprecated version from releases of course

maybe having both new and old smods messed it up or something? i honestly have no clue

[analog spoke]

only thing on mind is, if that's the problem, why weren't the other mods doing it as well and only our own?

[distant grove]

hmm

[ivory coral]

well peak doesnt seem to have any other mods enabled atm but idk about you
cant hurt to try though
i went looking for this error in the server and apparently its fixed itself on at least one occasion so it cant hurt to try basically whatever

usually its because an image path or name was wrong though

but i dont see that here though

[analog spoke]

I honestly have thought of making the mod on a newer version first, tho I'd have to at least go to a version that still has cryptid and talisman, cuz they have certain features I'd like to be able to use

[ivory coral]

isnt cryptid updated to newer smod versions now

or so ive heard

[errant fulcrum]

I'm struggling to find resources on coding custom jokers / syntax for this game. Does anyone know where I can find something?

[mellow sable]

ye

Cryptid is no longer behind the curve

[distant grove]

i dont think so>

i dont remeber

[analog spoke]

😭

[distant grove]

mhm

[ivory coral]

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

and also https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[errant fulcrum]

Wow, thats exactly what I've been looking for

[analog spoke]

uhh, ok so, I'll try moving to a new version and see if that works, then update y'all I guess?

tho it took so long to update the first time :<

[distant grove]

it does?

[analog spoke]

idk, maybe just a me problem lol

my 2 antiviruses fighting like animals over the peice of steak that is new versions of this mod loader lmao

[ivory coral]

hopefully its just the once more

[distant grove]

lol

[analog spoke]

welp, I'm off to check what the most recent cryptid uses

[rough furnace]

@analog spoke if you still are having issues can you try adding the following to your mod before the atlas and then showing what it prints:

print(NFS.newFileData(SMODS.current_mod.path .. "assets/2x/noitro_atlas.png"))

[ivory coral]

it still comes packaged with cyptid

[analog spoke]

okey! I shall try this first

[analog spoke]

I shall install in background incase lol

[analog spoke]

sorry, where in the mod should I put this?

[ivory coral]

also @distant grove

[rough furnace]

in your mod code above the SMODS.Atlas call

[analog spoke]

ok, it's in! where do I check for the print? I'm looking in the crash log but can't see it there

[distant grove]

like this yea?

[rough furnace]

the lovely console or log files (Mods > lovely > log)

[distant grove]

heres mine

[red flower]

(doesn't have any crash but I wanted to fit in)

[buoyant shard]

are there context for gaining and losing jokers?

[ivory coral]

...and my axe

[red flower]

no afaik, there's a context for buying one

[buoyant shard]

Now I have to redesign a joker I guess

[red flower]

I mean you can make your own

[rough furnace]

are you able to update DebugPlus (it has a bug in the current version preventing me from seeing the log I need)

[rough furnace]

disabling it wouldwork too

[analog spoke]

I think I can disable it

[distant grove]

i put debug plus in mods yea?

[ivory coral]

not what was meant, you dont need it
theres just a bug in it rn

[distant grove]

ah

okay

[analog spoke]

😭 it's not wanting to upload it this time, it just says processing

[distant grove]

dang

[analog spoke]

oh hey!

[analog spoke]

did this work?

[rough furnace]

yeah but it's not that helpful

ensure the path is C:\Users\colem\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods/noita_cards/assets/2x/noitro_atlas.png

[analog spoke]

other than the reversed dash halfway through, yes

[rough furnace]

can you click properties on the file?

[analog spoke]

what I'm I doing/checking for inside?

[rough furnace]

send screenshot

[analog spoke]

this is the mod

[analog spoke]

not sure how much having it will help, but thought I'd send it in

[distant grove]

the minorest of spelling mistakes ruining 5 hours of my life moment

but my things are all 2x

so UHHH

[distant grove]

did it work

huh

[analog spoke]

it worked

it opened

[distant grove]

finally

now to uhh

fix mine.

[ivory coral]

one crash down one to go

[analog spoke]

it was literally minor spelling mistake lmao

[distant grove]

where do i put this?

[ivory coral]

that should be the full path of your atlas's png
but your running mac it seems so im not sure what itd be exactly

[distant grove]

buh

https://tenor.com/view/struggle-sisyphus-gif-4952086791107433131

[ivory coral]

but it should be Balatro/Mods/<your mod name>/assets/1x or 2x/Jokers.png

[distant grove]

and where do i put that

oh wait

[ivory coral]

you dont put that anywhere its just where it goes

[distant grove]

honestly yea

[woeful tusk]

Is it possible to ban enhancements? like in a challenge deck ban glass cards appearing from standard packs or from incantation, familiar or grim aside from just banning justice
i got helped on the balatro discord with G.GAME.banned_keys but that doesnt seem to work

[analog spoke]

non-crash related lol
something's off about this sprite right? something with the outline? can't put my finger on what exactly

[distant grove]

hmm

[rough furnace]

show assets folder

[distant grove]

ok

[rough furnace]

also that atlas in the jokers is invalid

[distant grove]

ah

what should it be?

[analog spoke]

just Jokers I believe, same as the key I think

no <>

[distant grove]

im a

[rough furnace]

and inside?

[distant grove]

the 1x

the 2x

[ivory coral]

atlas = 'Jokers' (atlas key)
pos = {x = 0, y = 0} (position of joker on image)

[distant grove]

okay

so erm

yea idk

[rough furnace]

and show the folder with assets in it

[rough furnace]

like the contents of it

[distant grove]

oh

[cunning bridge]

Wilson's patience is beyond any I've ever seen 😭

[distant grove]

ong

im sorry for making you guys do this for hours😭

[ivory coral]

fr though

[analog spoke]

it's ok, I also made them wait for hours : )

[ivory coral]

its okay, maybe one day you'll be the one doing this for hours

[distant grove]

yea

[analog spoke]

omg, that's my dream, can't wait till I'm at the "helping someone for hours" level of coding knowledge

[cunning bridge]

sounds awful

[distant grove]

it possibly is

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-minos-prime-death-gif-5432752624659374066

[analog spoke]

WHAGSHDAGWHAAHGA

[ivory coral]

its strangely cathartic when it comes together though
theres something nice about helping someone out with something they want to do

[distant grove]

after this im finishing my hw

than going to bed

and finishing the other dumb jokers and blinds and consummables i wanna add

because i love lor

https://tenor.com/view/kim-ji-hoon-limbus-company-lunacy-gif-1590080414996555421

oh boy i hope i dont have the slightest spelling mistake

[ivory coral]

we'll be seeing you again soon then i presume lol
tip here though, try and take inspiration and knowledge from other mods and the vanilla code when you can, it can help you learn a lot

[distant grove]

okay

👍

now to uhh

fix this crash.

[rough furnace]

as a sanity check can you open the terminal and run find "/Users/icecreamking12e3/Library/Application Support/Balatro/Mods"

[distant grove]

ok

it just

uh

that

[rough furnace]

send me the entire thing

[distant grove]

permission...denied????

[rough furnace]

like the output of the command

[distant grove]

big ass

word

[distant grove]

eh?

[rough furnace]

2x.png

[distant grove]

.

[ivory coral]

2x.png...?

[distant grove]

the fuck

why is it 2x png😭

and how the fuck

did a file turn into a png😭

[primal shoal]

file it should be a folder right?

[distant grove]

yea

mb

too tired to fix my spelling mistakes

[ivory coral]

im not sure how exactly 2x is a png

[sturdy compass]

Anyone know off the top of their head of any mods with good config menus that I can reference? I think I just need a simple list of buttons/checkboxes for mine

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-kazuma-kiryu-pissed-off-gif-14586175

[tender python]

hello, trying to make diamond suit count as all suits but its not being functional in game, any advice?

[rough furnace]

JokerDisplay but its a bit fancy

[ivory coral]

was about to say
maybe Talisman

[rough furnace]

DebugPlus sounds more your style but I have a system to avoid writing config stuff

[primal shoal]

"is_suit" is a check not a change

[rough furnace]

talsiman is probably a good one

[tender python]

oh ok, so should I use is_suit for the if line? what would I use for the change? also thank you for the reply!

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/struggle-sisyphus-gif-4952086791107433131

sisyphus moment

chat is this my punishment for something i dont remeber😭

[analog spoke]

maybe the folder is just named "2x .png"? if that's the case it may be fixable by just renaming it to "2x"

[distant grove]

nope

its 2x

just that

[analog spoke]

oh, huh... that's... bizarre

[distant grove]

through some will of god it manifested into a png

[primal shoal]

assert(SMODS.change_base(card, "Diamonds", nil) )
works for me

[analog spoke]

what does the folder/file look like?

[distant grove]

oh no

nvm

[rough furnace]

I bet finder is doing some weird shit

[distant grove]

loaded safeuly yea

so yea.

[tender python]

I think I'm not entering it in the right spot correctly, could you give an example? thank you again

[primal shoal]

oh your using it for the calulate

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/no-pixels-cant-see-ben-chang-community-ken-jeong-gif-17361588

me trying to figure out how the FUCK my folder turned into a png

[tender python]

oh!! ok I'll give it a try

[rough furnace]

you named it wrong

probably

[distant grove]

possibly

its seems to be just 2x in assets'

hmm

[primal shoal]

try SMODS.change_base(card, "Diamonds", nil)
and if that doesn't work try look though I can't help you futher

[ivory coral]

you may have to somehow change vanilla's Card:is_suit() function to do it
like smeared joker does

theres certainly a way to do that but idk how

[quasi jewel]

messing with enhancements
why is it error,,

[distant grove]

im going to listen to carmen and DISTORT

anyways uhh

[ivory coral]

messed up the localization probably

[weak gate]

is there any event that is called when my joker changes position in the jokers list?

[quasi jewel]

oh yup

[ivory coral]

should be smth like

  Enhanced = {
    m_<prefix>_<enhancement key> = {}
etc```

[tender python]

I feel like I'm just messing things up more 😭

[quasi jewel]

forgot the loc_txt={}

[ivory coral]

in your localization file

[quasi jewel]

i should probably make a separate localization file

[ivory coral]

100% do recommend

if it doesnt work then do that

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/nichijou-i-am-at-my-limit-limit-i-am-at-my-gif-23981050

[ivory coral]

honestly at this point
find another mod, delete all the files in it, and just replace them with your files but keep the file structure

your folders are just haunted

[distant grove]

idk

THIS LITTLE FUCK.

WHY THE FUCK

[ivory coral]

oh my god.

[distant grove]

I WILL ACTUALLY GO INSANE

[ivory coral]
