work

[ivory coral]

check 1x

[distant grove]

1x is actually normal

[sturdy compass]

so what I'm hearing is I can't have the cake and eat it too lmao

[distant grove]

unlike his fucking cousin 2x

hmm unsupported file format

HMMMM

[ivory coral]

ok wait this is a different error actually

[distant grove]

OH THANK GOD

[ivory coral]

check Jokers.png in the 2x

[distant grove]

FUCKING NO MORE 2x spelling mistake😭

[ivory coral]

make sure its not doing anything weird

if need be just remake it

[distant grove]

...

WHY THE FUCK

😭

TIFF IMAGE!??!?!?!

[ivory coral]

oh my god

[distant grove]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

ALSO 1x

WHY GOD

WHY MEEE

[ivory coral]

what program did you make the images in

[distant grove]

let me check rq

krita

[ivory coral]

i see
make sure you export it as png for the future

[distant grove]

idk how to do that in uhh krita

but let me check how fr

[ivory coral]

also recommendation: paint.net

[supple fractal]

krita my beloved

[ivory coral]

for pixel art like balatro its great

[distant grove]

dont think its on mac

[ivory coral]

oh is it not
shame

ah indeed oh well

[distant grove]

do you know how to turn the imgs inot png

[ivory coral]

yeah krita should work well enough as long as your careful with the exports

[supple fractal]

ye

[distant grove]

PLS FUCKING HELLP

PLSSS

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1274593898689331200/1343472048315433022/attachment.gif

[supple fractal]

when you are exporting the image from krita

down here

hit krita document and then type in png because like ten options show up

[ivory coral]

when saving the image in in krita i think you can just Save as > select .png > Save

[supple fractal]

that is true also

[distant grove]

chat this might be my insane arc

im actually going to smash my mac

[supple fractal]

don't do that

[distant grove]

ik

but like

fucking tiff image

than my folder is a png😭

[ivory coral]

average programming experience

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-minor-s-spongebob-spongebob-meme-spongebob-squarepants-gif-10940848928744248792

[supple fractal]

yo anyway

[distant grove]

yea

also thanks for telling me how to do it

much appreciated

👍

now to see if it works!

[supple fractal]

why I pulled up was to ask for assistance in something akin to "I want a joker to have a 50% chance to kill a card when it scores"

how the hell do I do that because I am out here suffering in the trenches

[supple fractal]

no sweat!

[ivory coral]

you sure you mean when scored, as in it becomes more likely with retriggers

[supple fractal]

yes

I am simplifying for clarity because the ideal would be 1/6 chance on each trigger but 50% is easier to convey

[ivory coral]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play first of all
then do an rng check and if it passes then mark it for death
then kill it in i think its context.final_scoring_step

[distant grove]

let me export pls kirta

pls 😭

[supple fractal]

got that don't worry

[distant grove]

this to export yea?

[supple fractal]

so would that be "if context.final_scoring_step then
destroyed_card == scoring_card" or something akin

[supple fractal]

if worst comes to worst you can cmd+c into discord and download it from there because it will be uploaded as a png

although that is stupid

[distant grove]

k

[ivory coral]

destroying cards is a little overcomplex but i think its like
card:start_dissolve then if context.destroying_card then into return { remove = true}

[distant grove]

YES FINALLY BOTH PNGS

PLS GOD

[ivory coral]

lets goooo

[distant grove]

FUCKING FINALLY

LETS FUCKING GOOO

https://tenor.com/view/spamton-roland-limbus-company-gangnam-style-big-shot-gif-15331633272000020998

[ivory coral]

start_dissolve goes in context.final_scoring_step btw

[distant grove]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-bison-street-fighter-yes-gif-3718772

after maybe 8 hours and not SEEING THOSE DUMB MISTAKES

MY LIFE IS COMPLETTETETTETETE

THANK YOU GUYS SO FUCKING MUCH😭

[ivory coral]

hell yeahhhhh

[distant grove]

you all derserve a nobel prize award😭

[brave thunder]

can anybody point me in the right direction for like where to even start with modding at all?
like is there some kinda starter tutorial or something?

[supple fractal]

how do I mark it for death?

[distant grove]

im so sorry for making you guys do all of that😭

[ivory coral]

use a local variable or smth

[supple fractal]

no worries

hey np lad least i can do
ive had to get help here a number of times before and will need to do so in the future too

[distant grove]

funny cat

should uh hopefully help you

hope you dont run into the problems i faced man

im way too tired

you all have a good night

[ivory coral]

thank you its 4 am im going to hit the bed in a few mins glad its all worked out for you

[royal carbon]

How do I go about increasing the rank of a card without having it loop around after ace? My current attempt is crashing and I have no idea why

[brave thunder]

ok so if I'm reading this right I go to my mods folder and create a new folder for my mod
and then I make a JSON file in the new mod folder with the mod metadata?

[ivory coral]

yup

[ivory coral]

should just be set the rank to whatever the next rank is unless its rank 14 (ace)
whats your code/crash?

[royal carbon]

It doesn't reach the "third check" print before it crashes but it does pass the other two

[sturdy compass]

v:get_id() instead of v.get_id()

[brave thunder]

does the JSON need a specific filename?

[ivory coral]

i dont think so?

[cerulean rose]

this definitely doesn't work for modded ranks

i don't think it works for non-modded ranks either

unless 2 is supposed to go to 4

[royal carbon]

Yeah it ended up upgrading twice but I fixed that part, it def doesn't work for modded ranks but I have no idea how to do that

[brave thunder]

ok so what do I put for the main_file in the metadata?

[analog spoke]

how would I get this effect to work? I'm currently using cryptids Gemini as a base, but there's some things I'm not sure how to do and some things I do know how to do
I do know = How to change the context to start of blind instead of end, Change the numbers so they increase by the new numbers
I do not know = How to make it select a random joker instead of leftmost, how to make the amount of jokers targeted based off a config var, how to make it randomly choose to give x1.25 or x0.75

[ivory coral]

whatever your main lua file's name is
your actual code will be in that lua file
you can name it whatever you want just make sure its in the same folder as the metadata file

so "<name>.lua"

[brave thunder]

ah alright

so it should look like this and then I put test.lua into the filename part of the metadata?

[ivory coral]

yes
its case-sensitive

[brave thunder]

I assumed as much

IT APPEARS IN GAME

noa actual content but its progres lol

[sturdy compass]

Visual Studio for json editing? That's quite a choice

[brave thunder]

I use visual studio for almost all my text editing

is that bad?

[sturdy compass]

I will highly recommend Visual Studio Code for Balatro modding (or any variant of that IDE)

[runic pecan]

How to abrupt a sound during playing?

[ivory coral]

1. for random joker you'd i think use `pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('seed'))
2. make a table of all jokers, use it instead of G.jokers.cards, remove a joker from the table when its selected, then rerun the code for each joker it needs to select
3. do an rng check, if it passes it gets 1.25x otherwise it gets 0.75x

[brave thunder]

ok now how tf do I add content
the wiki seems to just be code documentation and not any real examples of how to properly implement the code

[spring marsh]

i'm gonna crash out every time a new steamodded version comes out since that would mean i would have to put in extra work to make the code compatible with it

[ivory coral]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

also theres yt tutorials

[sturdy compass]

damn you were faster

[ivory coral]

the examples can give you direction though

[ivory coral]

already had it open lol

[sturdy compass]

apparently so

[novel violet]

also recommend looking at the source for other people's mods

can be incredibly helpful for understanding how their code translates to a functional joker

[brave thunder]

I'm wanting to do consumables rn

idk if those are easier or harder then jokers

[novel violet]

most assuredly not harder

but that depends on what you want to do

[brave thunder]

what I wanted to try was making a spectral
ouroboros - select 2 jokers, make the left joker eternal, and the right joker perishable

probably could be balanced better or changed a bit but I just wanted to try this idea

idk how difficult stickers would be though

or are they counted as seals?

[chrome widget]

Hey, does anyone here have any familiarity with the base pseudorandom code?

[rough furnace]

I have a bit

[chrome widget]

The vanilla pseudoseed function has an optional param for predict_seed, and without comments, I'm not certain if it means it's literally just returning the result of the next seed hash for the base key, or if it's something else entirely

  if key == 'seed' then return math.random() end

  if predict_seed then 
    local _pseed = pseudohash(key..(predict_seed or ''))
    _pseed = math.abs(tonumber(string.format("%.13f", (2.134453429141+_pseed*1.72431234)%1)))
    return (_pseed + (pseudohash(predict_seed) or 0))/2
  end
  
  if not G.GAME.pseudorandom[key] then 
    G.GAME.pseudorandom[key] = pseudohash(key..(G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed or ''))
  end

  G.GAME.pseudorandom[key] = math.abs(tonumber(string.format("%.13f", (2.134453429141+G.GAME.pseudorandom[key]*1.72431234)%1)))
  return (G.GAME.pseudorandom[key] + (G.GAME.pseudorandom.hashed_seed or 0))/2
end```

b/c predict seed is not a boolean, it's being concatenated into a string, so it's supposed to just be another value that it also calls pseudohash on

And afailk, predict_seed is not actually used anywhere in the vanilla code

So I don't have anything I can blatantly steal from

[rough furnace]

looks liek get_first_legndary uses it

looks like you pass it the seed (?)

which makes sense since these 2 blocks are very similar

[sturdy compass]

This certainly seems possible, and even moreso by the fact you're basing it off of an existing consumable type

I have ideas in mind on how you could implement it so if you need any assistance, I would be happy to provide

[chrome widget]

hmm, I see

[brave thunder]

ok so I saw these in the card.LUA file of the balatro source code
I'm assuming these are the functions that apply eternal and perishable to a joker when it appears in shop?

yeah I actually have no idea what I'm doing

[sturdy compass]

That sounds correct, however you should be able to use those for your purposes

[chrome widget]

Hmm I think I understand it now. You would just pass in G.GAME.pseudorandom_seed as the predict_seed value, and it gives you then next seed result without actually setting the pseudorandom value with it in the pseudorandom table

Otherwise the code is identical

Nope, doesn't seem to work. foiled again

[analog spoke]

ok, so, I did a bit of work trying to get it closer to the desired effect, I seem to not be doing the var thing right, as line 38 is giving errors, at least, whenever the selected joker isn't Polymorphine itself
I'm going to bed now, so when you respond pls @ me so I can respond when I wake up (I wake up really late lmao)

gn everyone!

[runic pecan]

How to make a joker play certain sound when hovered by mouse?

[chrome widget]

VSCode users, how do you turn off the little tooltips that tell which contributors recently changed certain lines? Or at least move them?

Having the little buffer between lines rlly bugs me

[rose dragon]

maybe just add an event that plays a sound to the event manager whenever loc_vars gets triggered?

[runic pecan]

I found another way:

[rough basin]

hey yall, does anyone know of a way to check if a joker has destroyed itself? im trying to make a joker that buffs itself when another joker gets destroyed, like if gros michel or cavendish die, or if ramen runs out
im trying to make sure it doesnt apply to selling the joker but im not fully sure how

[rose dragon]

patch the start_dissolve/remove_card function?

[rough basin]

ill look through the source code, do you know which .lua file has these?

[rose dragon]

im pretty sure remove_card is in game.lua and start_dissolve is in card.lua
if you're not sure then you can use ctrl+shift+f (keybind to search through whole project in vscode) to try to search for it

[rough basin]

aight thank you!

[tall tangle]

Homie made Doot

[chrome widget]

alternatively, I believe you can check for card.states.hover.is in the joker's update function

Save the last hover value each update, and then when it switches between true and false, you know hover has started or stopped

[runic pecan]

Which one looks better?

[nocturne garnet]

this is unbalanced, please nerf

[runic pecan]

OK! *lower the volume by 1%

[rose dragon]

i dont see the difference?

[runic pecan]

Current one marks the placing order;
Alternative one hides "JOKER" in go's.

This is called "Gomoku", it's like connect-four but five and no gravity and 19x19 grid.

[lyric wadi]

i think i like the former one

the one with the letters on the stone

while that's going on i also would like more onions on this

you're slowly upgrading a card, but you're upgrading it by discarding it

so you cant actually use it during the blind you upgraded it

[runic pecan]

Looks kinda slow, but not a bad thing.
DNA/Trading card pace.

[lyric wadi]

yeah it is intended to be slow

cuz if you play every blind, you will have decent chunk of upgraded cards

but also it eats 1 discard and the reward is delayed

[calm dock]

    update = function(self, card, dt)    
        if G.Jokers then    
            if #G.jokers.highlighted >= 1 then
                card.ability.extra.msg = union_check(self, card, area) 
            else 
                card.ability.extra.msg = "No Jokers found"     
            end      
        end
    end,

This seems to work fine within a consumable to work outside a run (Collection Menu) and within a run.
But if I apply it to a Joker card, it never seems to see G.Jokers as true.

Suggestions for another approach?

[manic rune]

G.jokers

not G.Jokers

[sturdy compass]

Oh man here's a fun one. I have a set of consumables that all have this "succeed" function attached to them that I created. Each card in the set calls this function whenever they meet a goal. This happens just fine in a vacuum, as they call "self:succeed(args)" locally. Now I'm trying to make a Spectral card that calls this function on one of these cards externally, which is causing the following crash. Any ideas?

[calm dock]

In Consumables, I can use G.Jokers.

[manic rune]

huh

didnt know they work the same

[sturdy compass]

they shouldn't, G.jokers is case sensitive

[rough furnace]

self is the center not the card

[faint heron]

how does "tagging" a card to be destroyed work? I am trying to have a joker that has a chance to destroy a card played, but I can't quite seem to figure out how to destroy the card. I see some post mentioning you have to tag the card first to be destroyed, but im not quite sure how i would do that

[rough furnace]

either

G.mxms_horoscope.highlighted[1].config.center:succeed(G.mxms_horoscope.highlighted[1])
``` or if you have the reference from the defintion 
```lua
definition:succeed(G.mxms_horoscope.highlighted[1])``` should work

[sturdy compass]

ah gotcha. plenty thanks

[calm dock]

Just checked my consumables, one was using lowercase one wasnt.
And I copied the wrong one of course.

@manic rune Thanks

[runic pecan]

If I use SMODS.Joker:extend, can I change the prefix that'll be added before the key I set?

Like instead of j_[modpref]_[key] I want j_[modpref]_[extendpref]_[key].

[tall tangle]

Someone send help, crash dump on discarding dirt cards

(Dirt cards are the ones that permanently gain +4 Mult when discarded)

[rose dragon]

code?

[tall tangle]

That's... what I sent.

are you on mobile?

[rose dragon]

no like the code that is crashing?

[tall tangle]

I literally sent the entire crash dump

I have no idea what I'm looking at.

I have exactly zero programming anything in this dork-ass head that has somehow managed to stay attached to my needlessly feeble shoulders.

[halcyon osprey]

tryna make a patch to increase playing slots from 5 to 6, will be affected by a joker but atm i just want to see if i can make it 6, and this is my first patch so idrk what i am doing that much

[tall wharf]

:3

[rough basin]

hey all, could someone help with what's wrong in this code? if the key of the joker being dissolved is in the list AND another joker is present i want that joker's xmult to multiply by 50, but not totally sure what's going on here. im not getting a crash either

couldn't send in a message, too long

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/main/lovely/selectionlimit.toml this is how i did it

[halcyon osprey]

i also got this here lol

seems like i was on ther right path

[halcyon osprey]

why does the game bully you

😭

[tall wharf]

im just trying to hook

[halcyon osprey]

im gonna assume theres more to this or something

custum variabled my belothed

[rough furnace]

the true dev printing experince

[rose dragon]

how are you selecting that fast?

[manic rune]

probably handy

hold right click and hover to cards = select

[faint heron]

I am working on a second joker, whats the proper pixel spacing so the second joker shows up from the sprite sheet? i would figure {x = 72, y = 0} since the size of jokers, but that doesn't seem to work. the second joker ends up not showing up in game at all

[tall wharf]

SO CLOSE

[lucid sun]

hey sorry for the ping, tried to figure this out today but couldnt figure out an earlier context that helped. on the brightside i got to clean up the code a lot lol

[manic rune]

its only x = 1, y = 0

[lucid sun]

x = 1, its based on the atlas size

yeah what bepis said

[manic rune]

think of the pos in SMODS.Joker, as like, uhh

x = 1, y = 0
=> x = 71 * 1
y = 95 * 0

[faint heron]

Ah, so it goes off of cell size rather than pixel size essentially?

[manic rune]

mhm

you already set the pixel size in the atlas

[rough basin]

quick question; i've hooked into Card:start_dissolve
i want to get the key of the card being dissolved. how would i do that? im not exactly sure what start_dissolve is taking

local hook = Card.start_dissolve    

function Card:start_dissolve(dissolve_colours, silent, dissolve_time_fac, no_juice)
    local ret = hook(self, dissolve_colours, silent, dissolve_time_fac, no_juice)
    safe_list = {"j_gros_michel", "j_egg", "j_ice_cream", "j_cavendish", "j_turtle_bean", "j_diet_cola", "j_popcorn", "j_selzer", "j_ramen"}
    for index, value in ipairs(safe_list) do
        if self.key == value and next(SMODS.find_card("j_skill_gluttony_joker")) then
            joker_glut = (SMODS.find_card("j_skill_gluttony_joker"))[1]
            joker_glut.ability.extra.Xmult = 10
        end
    end
    return ret
end

my code looks like this

[manic rune]

pretty sure it's self.ability.name

since "self" in this case points to the card

[rough basin]

okay so its not pointing to the center

gotcha

nope, still doesnt seem to be working

ideally this should set the mult of the gluttony_joker to 10 when the card gets dissolved

[rough furnace]

the key would be self.config.center.key

[manic rune]

oh

i thought card.ability.name would get the key too

[rough furnace]

no the name is not the key

[manic rune]

since my code does that, am i cooked 💀

[rough furnace]

smods by default makes them the same iirc but vanilla jokers don't have the same key and name and mods can change the name

[rough basin]

if i changed my list to be the names then would ability.name work? not going to do that but yeah

[manic rune]

ohhhhh

yeah, that makes sense

[rough furnace]

You shouldn't use names

as they aren't guarnteeded to be uniquer

[rough basin]

okay gotcha

using IDs should be the way to go

[manic rune]

damn, im rlly cooked 😭

[rough basin]

arghhh its still not working

maybe the food jokers use card:remove?

[rough furnace]

I think so

well

[manic rune]

whats the uhh

[rough basin]

i mean my base code is correct so all i have to do is just hook a different thing id hope

[manic rune]

hotkey on vsc to replace all word with smy

smt

[rough furnace]

remove will be called always when removing

[rough basin]

will remove trigger on selling as well?

[rough furnace]

wait

[rough furnace]

yes and retuning to the main menu

[rough basin]

oh god

would there be any like. way to tell in the remove function if its being called on a sell or a main menu thing

[rough furnace]

this is what popcorn does

[zealous glen]

For selling, there’s a context for that

[rough basin]

yeah i checked gros_michel and it also has this

[zealous glen]

Well, selling others

[manic rune]

how do i change this entire highlighted part and not just the "ability" part

[zealous glen]

I think Paperback and Betmma’s had a solution for detecting when a card was destroyed

[rough basin]

might check that out then

[wintry solar]

you can just do self.config.center_key

[tall wharf]

someone tell me there's something wrong with the boss

[manic rune]

oh its ctrl + shift + H

surely this wont break anything

[zealous glen]

The Crasher

[manic rune]

everything seems to be fine

:3

[tall wharf]

also

wrong video sorry

@manic rune

[manic rune]

wait hol on i got the perfect image for this

thats brutal though, what the hell 😭

[tall wharf]

[manic rune]

jesus

[zealous glen]

The Wrong Video Picker

[scarlet spire]

x4 is probably temp, and the (true) is temp until I can figure out how to make that look good, but how's this for an enhancement mechanic

luckily this logic is already built in with the pillar, only had to do a bit of jank to get it to not count playing it as playing it in the ante, and instantly destroying itself

[wintry solar]

you could do this with an internal flag too

[scarlet spire]

you're right it probably would have been easier to just set a value on the card instead of using the pillar's logic

[wintry solar]

especially if the pillar stuff changes them before the effect is evaluated

[scarlet spire]

it does, yeah

I don't know why I didn't think of that.

i'll probably refactor it later

[zealous glen]

I think I had to take ownership of the Pillar

[wintry solar]

you could also give it a visual change

[zealous glen]

To fix a bug introduced by another change I made

[scarlet spire]

also, is it possible to send custom parameters for context.destroy_card's dissolve? I believe start_dissolve allows you to set stuff like dissolve time and dissolve color, but context.destroy_card just allows you to return remove = true

[zealous glen]

Otherwise Pillar would be debuffing cards played during it

tl; dr: this whole system is a bit janky IMO

[wintry solar]

it's not possible

[scarlet spire]

welp. patch time

[merry raven]

I do wanna create a particle effect for Stickers, but it doesn't support on_remove, on_apply and on_load like Editions do. What can I do? It does spawn particles but it's rapidly spawning them, creating a mass of particles that covers the entire card and lags the game

[wintry solar]

I could maybe make it so you can define a standard dissolve time and colour on the card that it would look at, that would probably be cleaner than trying to return the information I think

[scarlet spire]

oh, could be nice

[rough basin]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        safe_list = {"j_gros_michel", "j_egg", "j_ice_cream", "j_cavendish", "j_turtle_bean", "j_diet_cola", "j_popcorn", "j_selzer", "j_ramen"}

                        if #context.selling_card > 0 then
                            for _, carde in context.selling_card do
                                if carde.config.center.key == v.config.center.key then

                            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult*10
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end

ive got this uh, beauty of a calculate function. doesnt seem to work though! am i just messing up the key values again because i feel like i am

[wintry solar]

you're combining different contexts

[rough basin]

i gotta separate them then? maybe keep track in a variable in the function then

[wintry solar]

contexts are independent of one another, if you're check for context.removed you will never have context.selling_card

[rapid stag]

@wintry solar do i HAVE to manually define every keys table in an alttexture or should this have worked?

[rough basin]

okay got you

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        safe_list = {"j_gros_michel", "j_egg", "j_ice_cream", "j_cavendish", "j_turtle_bean", "j_diet_cola", "j_popcorn", "j_selzer", "j_ramen"}
        if context.removed and not context.blueprint then
            for _, v in ipairs(context.removed) do
                for _, value in ipairs(safe_list) do
                    if v.config.center.key == value then
                        card.ability.extra.bonus = card.ability.extra.bonus*10
                    end
                end
            end
        end

this still isnt working, am i just messing up fetching the cards key?

[faint heron]

Thoughts on this joker? Its supposed to be in reference of the marksman gun from ultrakill. I am still working on my pixel art skills so its not the most prettiest of cards, but I think the main point gets across. Also does it seem balanced? I want it to be vanilla-esc

[wintry solar]

this looks like you are creating a list of keys manually in a convoluted way, can you explain it to me?

[manic rune]

how do i unhighlight a card in hand through code

(i forgor)

[crisp coral]

card:highlight(false)

[manic rune]

o

thanks :D

[plush cove]

funny story

[rough basin]

the background is really well done feels exactly like ultrakill

[rapid stag]

i am creating the full list of joker keys manually once in a lua file as part of a table, in a pair with a boolean value, so that i do not have to manually define the keys twice in the alttexture with minor differences.

i am then making two tables based off that pairs list - one that contains all of the uncommented keys regardless of the state of the boolean and one that only contains the uncommented keys where the boolean was true.

then, i populate two different alttextures with the correct information, each pointing to their respective assets and supplying the table that had only all uncommented keys to one, then the table that had the filtered keys to the other (with the only keys being filtered out here being burglar, todo list & diet cola).

the result SHOULD have been two working alt texture blocks (not intended to be enabled together, but either/or) - one that replaces with all of the keys, from its asset and one that replaces with all but the 3 filterd keys, from its asset.

what i instead got was, the first one worked fine, as expected. the second one, for some unknown reason, would not replace DNA, hiker, baseball card, popcorn, seltzer and cavendish, but replaced all other jokers in its table normally from its asset as expected.

i have checked both tables that it creates and both are correct. the assets are correct. except for what it is not doing correctly, it is doing correctly. i don't understand why it's not replacing the specified jokers despite their keys being present.

[zealous glen]

I think yours stacks multiplicatively so it’s stronger

[faint heron]

I pictured my joker working like baron but with gold cards, I might have worded it wrong

[tall tangle]

Bro made Gold cards Silver

[zealous glen]

I would word it like astrapboy’s probably

[plush cove]

thats basically the same thing as how my joker works

tbh I don't really care too much if multiple mods use that idea lmao, it's not too sacred to me

[zealous glen]

My personal opinion is if either the flavor or the effect is different then it’s not a big deal if the other matches

another mod’s

[tall tangle]

(Silver is an extremely conductive metal, kinda like steel but also not like steel because silver is worlds better at conducting than steel)

[zealous glen]

The silver train conductor

The steel orchestra conductor

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/eize5o hmmm

[wintry solar]

I imagine it's because you're assigning them to the i position in the table, so when it hits a gap it will stop iterating because of how lua works. Use table.insert(table, key) instead and it should work

[faint heron]

true, its not the most "unique" idea out there. the main thing im thinking to make my ever so slightly different is instead of doing the normal ding balatro does, whenever it procs a gold card it will do the ting sound from ultrakill. (not quite sure how possible that is, but thats a tomorrow me problem)

[zealous glen]

goodbye

[manic rune]

kinda wanted it to turn into gold cards before the cards got reflipped

odd

[zealous glen]

The loops could be one

And you could maybe put the transformation into its own event followed by a delay

[manic rune]

i tried to put it into an event between the two loops too

but same results

[zealous glen]

Did you add a delay

Like delay(x)

[manic rune]

yeah

i tried both 0.1 and 0

[zealous glen]

Try more

delay(1)

[manic rune]

oh, the "delay = 0" part doesnt work?

[zealous glen]

Not delay = x

delay(x)

[zealous glen]

That also exists but it’s not what I’m talking about

[manic rune]

do i do this or put those outside the event part entirely

[zealous glen]

Outside

[rapid stag]

worked. thank you

[wintry solar]

just don't have the delay on the set_ability

[manic rune]

sooo this?

[zealous glen]

No

set_ability still in an event

[manic rune]

oh

ohhhhhhh

[wintry solar]

set ability out the event will work with the delay

[manic rune]

yeah that makes sense, i think i understand it now, thanks

[zealous glen]

AFAIK delay creates a trivial Event that takes up time and doesn’t do anything else

[zealous glen]

I think it needs to be in an event or they gild before flipping

[manic rune]

yeah it works now, i removed the delay part

[wintry solar]

the delay in the set ability throws the sprite change into an event, it should work fine

[faint heron]

how would you go about making the green chance text? like the "1/3 chance"

[manic rune]

i initially had the impression :set_ability just instantly changes the card's enhancement lol

[wintry solar]

it does

[manic rune]

didnt know its an event of its own

[zealous glen]

What part

[wintry solar]

but it has an optional delay argument which will delay the visual change

[manic rune]

hm

[faint heron]

I pictured it looking similar to bloodstone, where the "1 in 3" in "1 in 3 chance" is a green

[merry raven]

Oh hey I've been trying to figure out proper flipping and enhancement changes too
Bepis if you wouldn't mind could you send footage/your fixed code so I can reference it haha

[zealous glen]

So you want to make it green?

{C:green}

[manic rune]

here

[merry raven]

Cheers

Huh I've never seen add_to_highlighted and remove_from_highlighted

[manic rune]

oh yeah, you see how the card pops up in the video?

the highlight functions are to make them look like that (fuck my grammar ❤️)

[merry raven]

Siiiiiick

[zealous glen]

It also selects them

[manic rune]

yes, but that shouldnt matter since its before scoring and immediately reverted after the events are done

[merry raven]

Yeah I've been keeping an eye out of how people do their card effects and timing

There was one where the cards turn into gold at the same time they get scored
Was it you

[manic rune]

uh, nop

[merry raven]

Ah

[runic pecan]

Can a joker copy effects of more than one joker?

[wintry solar]

like blueprint style?

[runic pecan]

like blueprint, but any joker you have that fit some condition.

[wintry solar]

you can do SMODS.calculate_effect(SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, blueprint_card, context), card)

where you replace blueprint_card with whatever card you want to copy

[runic pecan]

And do a for loop through G.jokers.cards?

[rapid stag]

is there a more efficient way to do something the way poll_edition() works?
like let's say, i want something to occur with a 30% chance.
then if that doesn't happen, something with a 20% chance.
then further, another thing with a 10% chance.
the thing in particular could be anything. in fact, this example could just be a function call on proc. function A, B, C, etc.

[manic rune]

you could make a function of your own for that matter, i think?

[wintry solar]

do you want them to be independent of each other or overall theres a 60% chance?

[rapid stag]

independent, yes

[wintry solar]

either throw it all in a function or use an if-else chain

if first_prob_check then
  -- do stuff
elseif second_prob_check then
  -- do other stuff
elseif
  -- etc
end```

[rapid stag]

i see. thanks!

[runic pecan]

Should I remove the "no discard" part or leave it there?
Also which rarity should this joker be?

[manic rune]

if i were to put a card in a table, but that card in game has its enhancement changed, will the card in the table be invalidated?

[runic pecan]

I think the card in the table would also change.

[manic rune]

yeah, that makes sense

hm

[nocturne garnet]

do yall know how to check if you have completed a stake on any deck

i forgot how

wait no i never knew

[maiden phoenix]

Tsunami mod has an effect that changes depending of the stake sticker on Splash

[nocturne garnet]

thanks sdm

[runic pecan]

Or look up how the game draw stake sticker on the cards.

[manic rune]

will this return the new cards whose enhancement has been changed?

[wintry solar]

just return other_card

you dn't need another table

[manic rune]

oh, got it

[wintry solar]

although you probably don't even need to return anything here

[rose dragon]

why is this crashing?
(pre == joker card to be triggered, card == blueprint-like card)

[wintry solar]

oh that'll crash if the card doesnt return anyhting, hold on

try lua local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, blueprint_card, context) if ret then SMODS.calculate_effect(ret, card) end

[runic pecan]

bump

[rapid stag]

oh right whoops, i never responded to this.

i just basically want to know what importance the return value of calculate() has - like if i write return nil, true in a joker's calculate(), i actually have no idea what that's doing when it hits it and i feel like that might be important for any present or future functionality i may want to write

[tall wharf]

is there a way to juice up blind requirements to tell the player that it changes

[frosty dock]

it signals that the joker did something even though there are no effects to return. This is important for retriggers

[runic pecan]

calculate mostly would return a table, and the content of that table tells the game what to do.

[frosty dock]

if you return a table, that's any effects to be evaluated

[manic rune]

leave it there, and i would honestly call this a legendary joker ngl

hand size 50 is crazy

[rapid stag]

i see what's an example of a table i could return that would have some effect? are there any such base jokers whose code i could look at to further understand this?

[frosty dock]

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

[rapid stag]

...didn't see that the first time i saw this page thanks

[manic rune]

my joker turns cards into gold, and turn them back to normal at end of round

however, currently facing an issue where the gold cards dont get to trigger, and instead turned to normal cards immediately, is there a context for this?

[zealous glen]

Try putting the back transformation into return {func = …}

Just the part they turn back

Probably not in an Event

[manic rune]

hm

so uh, this?

nop

it still reverts back to base cards before the gold cards effect triggers

should i be checking states for this one instead

[zealous glen]

huh

Maybe in an Event then

[manic rune]

nope

[nocturne garnet]

wut

does locked_loc_vars not allow colours....

[manic rune]

a bit inexperienced about these stuff, does this make it so that if after is true then trigger = "after"?

[nocturne garnet]

ya

[manic rune]

nice, thanks

[nocturne garnet]

nevermind i think G.C.SPECTRAL isnt a thing 💔

nvm its not that

wtf

am i being stupid or something

[maiden phoenix]

Isnt it like secondary_color.spectral or something

Check sixth sense joker

[manic rune]

managed to did this, i had to put immediate events inside an after event

[nocturne garnet]

wym...

[spring lantern]

G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Spectral

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/0byuxt

if you ignore the weird sounds then i think its fine ❤️

[spring lantern]

SECONDARY_SET has text colors for all card types

[nocturne garnet]

whuh

why are they different]

also problem persists

[nocturne garnet]

why are you crashing vro

you're SUPPOSED TO WORK

[spring lantern]

oh wait

[nocturne garnet]

does locked_loc_vars not accept colours???

[spring lantern]

the colours table goes inside vars

[nocturne garnet]

whuh

WHat

[spring lantern]

don't ask

it's just like that

[nocturne garnet]

oh my god you're right

why is it like that 😭

[spring lantern]

not sure

something about the inner workings of loc files/the loc system

[nocturne garnet]

FINALLY

[maiden phoenix]

Ah crap I forgor you had spectral named Bind..

Same consumable name across multiple mods sounds weird

[nocturne garnet]

sdm you dont have to change spectral names just because someone made it 💔

i havent even released it yet

[maiden phoenix]

Maybe but it still doesnt feel right to me even if I'm told to 😭

Unless I did it first then its the other's fault

[nocturne garnet]

i mean since i havent released it yet

technicall you'll have done it first

[maiden phoenix]

I havent either

[nocturne garnet]

dang

[maiden phoenix]

So what do we race or something

[foggy carbon]

it doesn't matter because smods mod prefixes

[maiden phoenix]

Oh no its not a coding problem

[nocturne garnet]

it just feels wrong

[maiden phoenix]

Yea

[nocturne garnet]

its probably gonna take a long time for me to update my mod, you'll def be first

[foggy carbon]

But maybe there should be a way to, like, detect if the same name exists and then have Smods label them as "Bind (SDM)" and "Bind (elail)" or whatever your mods are called

[maiden phoenix]

Im not gonna race you Ill just change the name

[maiden phoenix]

Mod badges kinda do that already

[foggy carbon]

true

[nocturne garnet]

noooooo dont waste your time editing the spriteeee

its fine anyways

[foggy carbon]

Grip, maybe?

I'd say try to stay close to Bind to prevent an edit to the non-text part of the sprite

[spring lantern]

what about chain

[foggy carbon]

Clasp

[maiden phoenix]

I called my spectral "Bind" because it makes one selected Joker card Eternal

[spring lantern]

as literal as can be

[foggy carbon]

lol call it Pin

[maiden phoenix]

Pinned already exists

Would be kinda weird

[foggy carbon]

yeah but doesn't it only exist for that one challenge with the dagger?

[crisp coral]

still exists :p

[maiden phoenix]

In vanilla yea

[foggy carbon]

Or Staple

[maiden phoenix]

Gonna call it "Goku trapped in the time chamber" problem solved

[foggy carbon]

lol

[tall wharf]

Pinned but to the right when

[maiden phoenix]

Pinned to the right blueprint

[tall wharf]

let's go

pinned to the left brainstorm

wait is pinned supposed to have a sticker

[maiden phoenix]

Not in vanilla

Cryptid adds one

[foggy carbon]

I think it does have a sprite sheet area designated for it, but that area is blank

[tall wharf]

pinned playing cards

even tho in most cases it doesn't matter

in my mod it does

[maiden phoenix]

Pinned letter cards

[tall wharf]

true

[maiden phoenix]

Oh evil

[tall wharf]

that's a good boss blind idea

[maiden phoenix]

Mfw the pinned letter is Y

[tall wharf]

I'll add it tonight

[tall wharf]

yells

yatch

or whatever

[foggy carbon]

yarn

[maiden phoenix]

Ante 7:

[tall wharf]

[tall wharf]

oh god

[foggy carbon]

yellow is too long?

[tall wharf]

yesterday

[foggy carbon]

you can do more than five cards?

[maiden phoenix]

Yodeleiou

[frosty dock]

kid named card selection limit:

[foggy carbon]

I know it can be increased, I just didn't know if the letter mod did that

[unkempt thicket]

I've done it with lovely patches

[frosty dock]

would be boring for it to only do <=5 letter words

[tall wharf]

exactly

[foggy carbon]

is the puzzle randomized each time?

Also, IIRC there are some mods that allow stickers on cards. Would eternal glass never break?

[crisp coral]

no

[tall wharf]

would it not be fun if you have to spell the word thyme every time you play this

[foggy carbon]

Okay, fair lol

but is it like, does it generate the puzzle from the solution?

[tall wharf]

?

[foggy carbon]

or do you just have a set of pre-determined puzzles

[tall wharf]

have you played wordle before

[foggy carbon]

I have (and now I wonder if you do the high-contrast mode based on Balatro settings)

are you implying that the stuff listed there is previous hands?

[tall wharf]

yes

might have to add colour blindness mode

[foggy carbon]

and just tie it to the existing high-contrast setting

IIRC Wordle already has a colorblind mode so you can just use those colors

[tall wharf]

i still need to finish this for the mod manager

which is why I've been adding features recently

right

I was gonna make the puzzle blinds square

why did i forget

in my head all the letter related blinds should be written in kanji

[lucid sun]

i want to make a joker that stops food jokers from deteroriating, do I need a patch for this? I don't want to take ownership of the food jokers

[tall wharf]

this is truly cryptid moment

[timid star]

how hard is it to store another playing card's data into an enhancement

cant just use copy_card...

[ivory coral]

@analog spoke
ive not really worked on value-changing jokers like this before, but it seems like maybe on line 38 it thinks the card in card.ability.extra.good_value is the local card variable? so it's trying to find the ability.extra.good_value of the random joker. i think you can just rename the variable

[worthy stirrup]

How do I make an event and call for it?

Okay, i found how to do it, but i dont know where to begin with converting this calculate to an event, any help is appricated.

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.after then
      local valid_suits = {}
      for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
          if v.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card' then
              valid_suits[#valid_suits+1] = v
          end
      end
      if valid_suits[1] then 
          local SuitPicked = pseudorandom_element(valid_suits, pseudoseed('Flote'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante))
          card.ability.extra.ChangeSuit = SuitPicked.base.suit
          for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
          SMODS.change_base(v, card.ability.extra.ChangeSuit)
      end
    end
  end
end,
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  trigger = "after", 
  func = function() 

  end
}))

wait

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
  trigger = "after", 
  func = function(card, context, self) 
    local valid_suits = {}
    for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if v.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card' then
            valid_suits[#valid_suits+1] = v
        end
    end
    if valid_suits[1] then 
        local SuitPicked = pseudorandom_element(valid_suits, pseudoseed('Flote'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante))
        card.ability.extra.ChangeSuit = SuitPicked.base.suit
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        SMODS.change_base(v, card.ability.extra.ChangeSuit)
    end
  end
end
}))
}

would this work

sorry for covering what you asked

i didnt get to see ur name

[runic pecan]

Nah, I should be the one apologize for interupting.

[worthy stirrup]

i unlocked a new crash color

i aint seen pure black yet

heres the code

heres the crash log

i think i may of fixed it

okay, no crash but it doesnt change the suits now

do you have to call for the event or what

i think i need to return true

[runic pecan]

Would you describe what effect do you want this joker do?
nvm, I saw the loc_txt

[worthy stirrup]

"Every scored card switches suit after scoring",
"{C:inactive} (Only changes to suits in deck)",

heres all the code if you want it

[runic pecan]

Base on your code, each card has a chance to "switch" to the same suit, is that right?

[worthy stirrup]

yes

this is mostly because i didnt want to pick a new suit for every card lol

[runic pecan]

And the probability will be proportional to the amount of cards with each suit, is that right?

[worthy stirrup]

I think thats how the code does it, i just have it chosing ones availible in the deck

it shares the code of Idol

[runic pecan]

I think you can access v.base.suit instead in your ipair(G.playing_cards) for loop.

[worthy stirrup]

ill try that, thanks

wait, im a bit lost, sorry, what am i replacing exactly, i know its the loop but i dont think i should be doing

for k, v in v.base.suit

[runic pecan]

Not like that lol

[worthy stirrup]

yea, but i still am new to lua a bit lol

[runic pecan]

This is the balatro code for suit changing tarot cards:

[worthy stirrup]

wait, sorry, where am i getting V from

[runic pecan]

Only SMODS.change_base needs to be wrapped inside Event.

[worthy stirrup]

ohh right

[runic pecan]

Or more precisely,

[runic pecan]

Also, use not SMODS.has_no_suit(v) instead of v.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card' in case there are other modded suitless enhancement.

[worthy stirrup]

so wait, like this?

[runic pecan]

Closer, but wrap the G.E_MANAGER on SMODS.change_base instead of everything.

[worthy stirrup]

wait, should the G.E_Manager be in calculate?

[runic pecan]

What made you think it isn't?

[worthy stirrup]

i just didnt think it was tbh

it hasnt been in there the whole time tbh

so, that probably why it didnt work

let me test a few things and see if they work

[runic pecan]

Event manager is more like: "Hey, I need this function to run later -- but not immediately right now -- so put this on the schedule queue for me, please."

[runic pecan]

By the way, have you read this?
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[worthy stirrup]

ive been reading it

i think i almost got it

[runic pecan]

Wait, hold on.
This code layout is going to change the entire deck's suits.

[worthy stirrup]

not deck, only played cards

oh

heres the code

heres the crash log

[nocturne garnet]

Why He Lookin Like That

wait no i found out

[runic pecan]

There, I rewrite a little:calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.after then local valid_suits = {} for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do if not SMODS.has_no_suit(v) then valid_suits[#valid_suits+1] = v.base.suit end end if valid_suits[1] then local SuitPicked = pseudorandom_element(valid_suits, pseudoseed('Flote'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante)) for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ trigger = "after", func = function() SMODS.change_base(v, SuitPicked) return true end })) end end end end

[worthy stirrup]

Thank you, I’ll try it as soon as I can

[runic pecan]

And please remember, always tidy up the indentations.

[worthy stirrup]

Ive been meaning to tbh

[nocturne garnet]

im going INSANE BRO WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

wait

yeah no i dont get it

[worthy stirrup]

it works now, thank you

ill see if i can add the little card flip animation in the future

thank you again

okay, sweet, now time to see if you can have custom color text

i know you can have a custom badge color

this was just working but i seperated the 2nd line into both 2 and the 3rd and now growth is nil

[quartz ravine]

[quartz ravine]

is there something special about registering sounds if you want to play them using this method?

play_sound("e_metsu", 0.85)

[quartz ravine]

ah, the problem is that play_sound depends on the prefix of my mod, which is set in either a conf or a .json file. My fix was to use change e_metsu to modPrefix_metsu

Time to send in a PR for that to the steammodded wiki! Thanks @earnest oracle for pointing out the error of my ways!

[quartz ravine]

Has anyone had success with changing the background color outside of the context of opening a booster pack?

I thought it would be cool if a joker could change the background color while it is applying a special effect

[frosty dock]

I forget that's not actually mentioned in the wiki

[frosty dock]

haven't tried this, but I think you can just use ease_background_colour?

[zealous glen]

Yes

My mod and Bunco do it (I copied from Bunco )

Also Trance

[zealous glen]

I don’t know I don’t think I’ve ever seen it :0

[nocturne garnet]

epic animated seal AND cool spectral AND cool effect,,,,

[tall wharf]

@royal ridge hello uhm regarding how i can hook onto the end round button would this be correct

regarding not just yet mod

[royal ridge]

that would probably work?

[tall wharf]

it didn't 😭

end round button still disabled

maybe priorities ain't right idk

ok it worked i just had to have my mod priority be 100

[analog spoke]

I think I misunderstood something here, lol, switching the name of either variable's name is giving a crash, one way causes the same crash one causes a new crash
here's what it looks like with both changes at once, which tbh I haven't tested yet, but I did test each individually

here's the most recent crash, from before I changed "card." into "center."

I'll rerun it with both now, just to get a new crash log

[maiden phoenix]

Your parameter in calculate is card2, rename each center to card2

[analog spoke]

ah ok! I'll try this

[analog spoke]

it works now! thank you!
I still need to get the random effects on it working, but it's no longer crashing when selecting another joker!

[old bane]

how does smods.drawstep work because i just keep getting errors about trying to use the field DrawStep (a nil value)

(i installed the latest dev version of smods)

[analog spoke]

I feel like I'm close to getting this working

*I would say I'm starting to get lua a bit more, but it's telling me a basic If is wrong 😭 *

[old bane]

nvm i actually didn't install it correctly ><

[analog spoke]

oh, errors are gone once I remove "then" lol

oh looks like r_num isn't the right thing 😭

changed to psuedo random, but not sure if I used it right

[frosty dock]

if pseudorandom('some_unique_key') < 0.5 then

else

end

[analog spoke]

ok! everything seems to be working now, only thing left in order to get the joker working as intended is to make it repeat based off how many jokers it's supposed to select

[dim lynx]

thats pretty neat

what if i have turtle bean and a hand of 12 silver seal cards

[old bane]

Thoughts?

[manic rune]

need some shading on the bucket, but nice

[old bane]

i don't know if this really fits the style of tarot cards tho...

i think i just need to replace the color of the bucket with different ones tbh

so i can still shade but just with the tarot card colors

something like this but maybe less of the blinding background

[dense vector]

You could have the brightest color as an outline for the bucket

[old bane]

ooh interesting idea

[dense vector]

Wait that actually looks good

[manic rune]

what if the ink seeps into the bottom of the tarot card a bit too

uhh smt like this idk

[unkempt geyser]

Hello, could someone explain to me what i must add to my sound=SMODS.Sound to make it the only thing that being played ?

[manic rune]

-# open the curtain

do you mean, like, all the sounds and musics are turned off except for yours?

[unkempt geyser]

yes

[old bane]

final product?

[manic rune]

hmmmm i think its a bit too black, id go for something in the middle of the tarot's yellow and the ink black (idk what im saying 🗣️)

[manic rune]

...that one i actually dont know, never used sounds, sorry 😭

-# (why are there so many pm agents here)

[old bane]

which part of the of thing is too black?

[red flower]

this is so nice

[earnest oracle]

are you thinking of replace = ?

[tall wharf]

yes

[manic rune]

the part which is seeping into the tarot card, it looks a bit unnatural

[manic rune]

how

[old bane]

ah gotcha, maybe this then

[unkempt geyser]

I tried but I didn't understood how it work

[red flower]

they added lsp definitions with the smods beta

[manic rune]

oh shit

gotta try that out

[tall wharf]

thank you whoever did that

[old bane]

lets goooo

[manic rune]

yeah i think it looks more natural that way

what the hell do you mean by that aikoyori

i saw that.

[tall wharf]

[manic rune]

aikoyuri

[red flower]

yuri!?

[manic rune]

yuri from ddlc

[earnest oracle]

i used this to replace the main menu track

    key = "opandorasbox_music_trippy1",
    path = "opandorasbox_music_trippy1.ogg",
        pitch = 1,
    select_music_track = function()
        return OpandorasBox_config.custom_music
            and not (G.booster_pack_sparkles 
            or G.booster_pack_meteors 
            or G.booster_pack 
            or G.shop 
            or (G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.boss))
    end,
})```

but you can just use this iirc
```SMODS.Sound({
    key = "opandorasbox_music_trippy1",
    path = "opandorasbox_music_trippy1.ogg",
        pitch = 1,
    replace = "music1"
})```

[manic rune]

i think what they want to do is literally turning off all sounds

except for the ones they choose to play

[unkempt geyser]

I will try

[earnest oracle]

oh mb

bocchi :D

[nocturne garnet]

whas a turtle bean,,,,

[nocturne garnet]

oh i forgor

[dim lynx]

its okay

[nocturne garnet]

it doesnt take the cards in your hand

it takes em from anywhere

[dim lynx]

whaaaat

[unkempt geyser]

Thank for the answer. Because of you I can play String Theocracy without anything bugging me

[analog spoke]

the power of polymorphine
(may need to cut back it's power a little lol)

honestly, I think all I need is to make it not work on itself, I think, but that also defeats a lot of the fun of it, maybe make it only work on the amount of affected jokers somehow?

I mean, I knew it would end up being powerful when used right, but

[manic rune]

yall

[forest ivy]

why most of the mods require steammodded 1.0.0?

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/zje32s

ever heard of summoning playing cards straight from the void

[mighty trench]

Hello, dear modding chat. I am attempting to make my silly stinky little joker create a modded joker when specific ranks are played and it crashed my humble balatro with a "for" error. Please help should it not be a bother :3

[manic rune]

whats the crash log?

[mighty trench]

i fw the hsr mod

[nocturne garnet]

hell yeah

[manic rune]

thanks :D

[mighty trench]

I'm a bit of a googoo gaga in terms of Lua so I don't really know what I'm doing in terms of the code

[manic rune]

....hm, i would normally be assuming its the for loop but it seems right

[distant grove]

What is the message part for?

[manic rune]

its telling the joker to uhh

have a pop-up message below it

it shouldnt be the issue here

[distant grove]

Ah okay👍

[manic rune]

real quick, can you try removing the for loop?

just for testing

[mighty trench]

from "For _, played card" to the end?

like the "end" right below

[manic rune]

oh wait, wait wait

[manic rune]

if context.before and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then
    ...your code here, replace context.scoring_hand with G.play.cards
end

replace the whole block with that

put those inside

[mighty trench]

like this?

[manic rune]

yeah

i think that should work

[mighty trench]

I'll try it now and report back

[manic rune]

(fix the indentation of the if statement line btw, its just some visual stuff)

[mighty trench]

should I add another end at the end

[manic rune]

nope, thats enough

(i think)

[mighty trench]

I'll try it out

gulp

[manic rune]

oh wait, i think its missing an end

yeah, it is

[mighty trench]

added an end

IT WORKED

[manic rune]

nice

[mighty trench]

Thank you, Bepis Fever. I am in your debt

[manic rune]

no its fine 😭

[analog spoke]

how would I get the "5 more uses" part to work? Additionally, how would I get it to work without being increased by misprintization (value increasing effects such as itself)?

5 more uses is 5 blinds/triggers btw

misprintization is refering to cryptid's value increase effect btw

I really chose a mad effect to start this mod off with huh 😭

[clear epoch]

for the uses a variable in config.extra should do the trick

after the joker takes its effect decrement it by 1 and check if it's less than 1. if so destroy of debuff the card. as for the crypid effect maybe the mod has some sort of check implemented(like blueprint_compat in the base game), but i have no idea myself

better get searching for something like that i suppose

[maiden river]

is there a context (or combination of contexts, maybe) for cards drawn after playing a hand?

[spring lantern]

okay so i have a problem with crimson heart debuffing one of my jokers, which leads to a permanent hand size increase because the code that resets hand size after a hand is played doesn't run, kind of like a turtle bean type bug. anyone can think of a way to fix this?

[wintry solar]

context.hand_drawn

[maiden river]

that's after discards too

[maiden river]

guys I know how to read the docs 😭

where's that one gif

[manic rune]

https://tenor.com/view/rtfm-read-the-fucking-docs-gif-26463640

[spring lantern]

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

[manic rune]

this one?

[wintry solar]

You could maybe track the discard count and make sure it hasn’t changed

[maiden river]

yes

[manic rune]

though, you could probably add a context for when you play a hand and set a var to true from there?

[maiden river]

oh true

[tall wharf]

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

[spring lantern]

i swear there was some context or something for when a joker gets debuffed

[manic rune]

https://tenor.com/view/rtfm-read-the-fucking-docs-gif-26463640

[spring lantern]

i cant find it

[wintry solar]

There isn’t

[manic rune]

pretty sure there isnt

[spring lantern]

am i going nuts

help

[clear epoch]

can't you use add_to_deck?

and remove_from_deck?

[spring lantern]

i guess

[clear epoch]

pretty sure they have a from_debuff argument

pretty sure that's how vanilla handles it as well

[spring lantern]

actually shit this is exactly what i was thinking of

[clear epoch]

perfect now i get to

[spring lantern]

my brain is becoming a mushy substance

[clear epoch]

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

[spring lantern]

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

[manic rune]

yeah uhhhhhh

is there a way for the second psuedorandom roll to ignore the number which has already been rolled on top of there?

id prefer not having to put it in a loop 😭

[spring lantern]

remove the chosen card from allCards and then do the same thing again

[manic rune]

GOD DAMN IT ITS MY OLD CODE

ghhhh

[spring lantern]

hubba

[manic rune]

yeah, thanks tho

[spring lantern]

np

[manic rune]

this was my old code lmfao 😭

[old bane]

red

[mighty trench]

I've been struck with another issue...

I've specified this before my joker. I tried reading the Smods wiki and tried applying that

Whomever may be able to come to my aid, I would appreciate it greatly

[manic rune]

i think you need the mod prefix too

[mighty trench]

oh! I hadn't even considered that

[manic rune]

prefix_(sound name)

[mighty trench]

no quotations?

[manic rune]

you still need those

[mighty trench]

so I put the quotations AROUND the sound name

[wintry solar]

It’s also sound = “key”

[mighty trench]

whuh where do I put that

[manic rune]

oh wait, didnt realize you were running a function inside the return{}

[mighty trench]

is that unwise., gulp

[manic rune]

probably inside the return (i never used sounds myself so blind firing here 😭)

[manic rune]

return {
...
sound = "(your mod prefix)_comingout",
}

you can remove the play_sound

[mighty trench]

ohhh i see i see

so this SHOULD work

[manic rune]

yeah, pretty sure that should work

❤️

[spring lantern]

springly boobies 😭

[manic rune]

that is NOT boobies

😭

[spring lantern]

boob

oo

[maiden river]

4k

[manic rune]

caught in 3k99

[fathom thunder]

yeah first message i read upon clicking on the channel incredible

[mighty trench]

it didnt crash BUT it did not play the noise

[manic rune]

whats the better wording for this

[mighty trench]

"temporarily turn into Glass cards for the round"?

[manic rune]

never saw someone using "temporarily" in their mod before honestly 😭

but yeah, i think thats cleaner

[mighty trench]

maybe you can trim out the temporarily and keep it as "turn into Glass cards for the round"

[spring lantern]

probably just line break after the comma

[clear epoch]

this code is supposed to decrease a joker's xmult for each removed card from deck, and i wish to also make it visible(like how caino does it). the juice_up animation plays, but the return message does not. anybody know why?

[manic rune]

it doesnt seem to be too correct with how balatro words its joker effects

i want my description to be more like them lol

[spring lantern]

wait isnt juice up blind for the blind chip

[fathom thunder]

^^ ??

[clear epoch]

it is but it's there purely for debugging purposes

[fathom thunder]

i see

[spring lantern]

ah okay

[mighty trench]

gulp., i can not offer aid then

[clear epoch]

i wanted to make sure the if is not faulty

its not

it's 100% the return

[manic rune]

...

is this supposed to remove the card from the game?

[spring lantern]

done my fair share of xmult scaling jokers, this is how i always do it

[clear epoch]

wouldn't it be better to just ban the key?

[spring lantern]

the upgrade/downgrade message i mean

[manic rune]

i can do that?

[mighty trench]

ITS WORKING! MY SOUNDS ARE WORKING! THANK YOU, BALATRO MOD DISCORD

[clear epoch]

i tried the same thing, it didnt work. so i resorted to a pure string message

didnt solve it

[spring lantern]

weird

[clear epoch]

it just does not play

[manic rune]

dang

💀

[forest ivy]

is it possible to identify the mod that crashes ur game using log ?

[manic rune]

50% of the time, yes

[clear epoch]

G.GAME.banned_keys i believe?

[forest ivy]

what are the 50%

[manic rune]

if you have talisman then it usually becomes significantly harder to trace down the source of the crash

-# i think

[forest ivy]

i do

[clear epoch]

i am decently confident that that's what challenges use to ban cards

[manic rune]

is it really necessary to use that though

im just selecting 2 random cards from my played hand

[clear epoch]

probably not them

[manic rune]

but again, this SHOULDNT interfere with anything, should it?

[clear epoch]

although for banning of keys directly you probably wanna just fiddle with the pools themselves

[clear epoch]

depends on what allCards is

[manic rune]

G.play.cards

does it change the whole G.play.cards too

[spring lantern]

is it a copy of the table or a reference

[forest ivy]

like what in the world is this crash

[manic rune]

.

[clear epoch]

this ^

[spring lantern]

do you have talisman on

[forest ivy]

yep

[manic rune]

wait i just realized it, yeah, i think its the latter

[spring lantern]

happened to me too

[forest ivy]

i can delete it tho

[manic rune]

ghghgh

[spring lantern]

talisman saves scoring related numbers as tables

because of the whole big number structure it uses

[forest ivy]

and other mod's cant access scores because of that or smth?

[manic rune]

how do i create a clone table then, this?

i actually forgot how to do this

[clear epoch]

hold on i have just the piece of code u need

[manic rune]

you sound like a father having EVERYTHING in his basement, waiting to be used 😭 (in a good way)

[spring lantern]

you can make your mod talisman compat but you need to create a dummy to_big() function like this and then wrap all your numbers in it which is a bit of a pain in the ass but what can you do

to_big is basically the talisman func that turns normal numbers into weird big number table things

so if it exists, it runs that, if not it defaults to just returning the same value so it still works without talisman

[sacred lily]

can i get some help please

[manic rune]

ye

[sacred lily]

i've honestly not modded any game before so where do i start with this
