(other than ideas, of which i have already)

[clear epoch]

this code polls together all base cards from a card area and then chooses one and applies a certain enhancement

[spring lantern]

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

[sacred lily]

ah ok

thanks

[spring lantern]

somebody should pin a link to the wiki

as in smods wiki

[ivory coral]

Is there a way to use a voucher to affect shop items? like all x type booster packs are replaced by y type booster packs?

[manic rune]

oh, so this should work?

[clear epoch]

if u need two cards, just remove the selected_card from the table and pseudorandom_element again

[clear epoch]

if you don't want any filter on which cards get chosen, yes

[manic rune]

nice, thanks

[clear epoch]

then that table is safe to use

[spring lantern]

never tried anything like this but my idea rn would be like

• hook into CardArea:emplace
• check if the emplaced card is the target booster
• remove that card and add the desired booster in its place

again completely untested just a theory

[clear epoch]

maybe play around with P_CENTER_POOLS?

[spring lantern]

that too

[clear epoch]

since i believe shop and pack items all get pooled from this

[ivory coral]

what do you mean by that? im not quite familiair

[manic rune]

real quick, does ease_hands() change perm or temporary hands?

[formal parrot]

Chat i’m so fucking lost

[clear epoch]

temp, for permanent i'm not sure whether SMODS has a custom function but in vanilla it is done with G.GAME.round_resets.hands

[formal parrot]

Everyone has great mods and i’l struggling to make a simple joker

LOL

[manic rune]

no no its fine, we all start somwhere lol

[forest ivy]

gng, what was the mod that was making this look better

like 12 decks per page

[clear epoch]

it's a table like P_CENTERS, except it holds all pooled items

[manic rune]

Malverk, i think

or smt like that

[forest ivy]

malverk?

[faint yacht]

Malverk is textures, Galdur is the deck menu.

[clear epoch]

focus on making a mod that you'd actually want to play with most if not all of the time

[formal parrot]

Idk how to start LOL

[forest ivy]

YES, galdur

ty fr

this one right ?

[faint yacht]

Yes.

[forest ivy]

peak

ty

[ivory coral]

so theoretically i just make it remove certain items from the pool

[clear epoch]

have an idea, look in the joker examples mod on the wiki for the basics, continue research on the wiki

[manic rune]

if you dont have any idea at all

go to suggestions

❤️

[formal parrot]

Can you link me up please

[manic rune]

fanarts can also have some pretty neat ideas too actually

[clear epoch]

i am not sure how exactly it works, i'd suggest reading the source code yourself to find out how it's used because i have never personally used it

ctrl + F is the way

[forest ivy]

7 pages of blinds is so peak

[clear epoch]

https://github.com/Steamodded

[forest ivy]

the cat is cute

[clear epoch]

u got the wiki and the examples

[formal parrot]

Thankssss

[maiden river]

is there a way to tell if a run has been resumed
kinda like how the throwback unlock works

[fresh swallow]

Chat any suggestions to make my ui look better?

[maiden river]

balatro everywhere huh 😭

[forest ivy]

dark version is peak, add some glowing things fr

[manic rune]

not even power outage will prevent balatro players 💔

[fresh swallow]

Balatro running in a 2$ micro controller and 6 AA batteries is the goal

[forest ivy]

and im getting another mfing error

[lyric wadi]

everyone is talking code i havent even start coding

im still at the idea phase

anyway speaking of idea here's another one

e.g. if you're at +36 Mult, there's a 36 in 100 chance it resets to +1 Mult

so on average you're gonna be mostly about at 10 to 30 mult

maybe touching 45 if you're quite lucky

but also very easy to be hardstuck at below 10 mult for a couple ante

[earnest oracle]

joker'll go crazy with retriggers

[maiden river]

would oops all 6s affect it?

[spring lantern]

would probably pick it up any day over something like misprint

[lyric wadi]

depends on how oops is coded

is oops +1 to the 1 in chance or is it always double

[spring lantern]

it always doubles the odds

[lyric wadi]

okay

[tall wharf]

real

[lyric wadi]

so i think the funnier answer is yes oops affects it

[spring lantern]

let me rephrase - if you code odds correctly it doubles

if not it does nothing

:L

[lyric wadi]

damn

[fresh swallow]

Balatro IRL has been a project. I have a thread if you want to see more details. https://discordapp.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1342904656124182618

[spring lantern]

basically there's this value inthe game, G.GAME.probabilities.normal, oops doubles that and then all odds based stuff uses it as a baseline

[forest ivy]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1L2wPG5mNI-ZBSW_ta__L9EcfAw-arKrXXVD-43eU4og/edit?gid=510782711#gid=510782711 ts is so peak

[lyric wadi]

reminds me of like the couple of people doing physical ktane builds

[lyric skiff]

hi, im early in the process of learning to mod the game. im trying to make a simple deck that starts you with three vouchers to familiarize myself with making decks but i'm having some trouble getting it to work. if anyone could review my code id appreciate it a lot!

i also attached the crash error im getting at the moment. not really sure where im expected to close that bracket? (also i put the code in the mod's main file temporarily just so i can see what line is causing the crash so dont mind that)

[lyric wadi]

with modules that can be switched out of the casing

[spring lantern]

need commas after each item

[lyric wadi]

one of them has a socket for a small co2 cartridge

so if you fail it bust the cartridge to make an explosion sound

[lyric skiff]

ohhh, tysm!

[tall wharf]

how does this look lol

[lyric wadi]

aapl

how do you make jonkler spirte

cuz i have the template i used to make joker-styled cards for tts

but like it's probably not the right size

[floral vortex]

hello everyone. i believe i know how to code. but one thing i have trouble getting right are the variable an function names. for example how was i supposed to know what G.GAME.probabilities does and what G.E_MANAGER does? is there some documentation explaining local thunk's commands or something?

thank you 😁

[tall wharf]

me?

[lyric wadi]

in general i guess

whoever has recommendations

[minor furnace]

why does hooking functions feel illegal

[tall wharf]

i just do it at 71x95 with 1 pixel border

[lyric wadi]

mr sandman

man door hook hand

[spring lantern]

sand me a man

[maiden river]

there's documentation for the event manager, but for a lot of stuff you just have to ask/look at the code

[floral vortex]

thank you 🙂 do you know where the documentation for the event manager is? is it at the github of steammodded?

[minor furnace]

the other thing that felt illegal was writing a patch to destroy a card in a played hand before it scores

[maiden river]

yeah it's in the wiki

[tall wharf]

take me by the hand lead me to the land that you understand

[maiden river]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[spring lantern]

oshanman

[floral vortex]

thank you

[tall wharf]

what if i draw catgirls for C

it would be so funny

[lyric skiff]

getting a crash with that says unexpected symbol near 'end' now

[minor furnace]

what is B a picture of?

[ivory coral]

how do i combine two strings into one? im trying to use poll_edition() to get a random edition but to actually use it later on i need to add 'e_' to the beginning of it, which is a separate string

[dim lynx]

i see the unexpected symbol

[maiden river]

string1 .. string2

[minor furnace]

based

I think you have to do Loss for L

[tall wharf]

Bee

[maiden river]

you know what you have to do for e tho right

[minor furnace]

I'm gonna be honest I still don't see it 😅

[spring lantern]

epicsauce

[ivory coral]

i see thanks

[lyric skiff]

where is it?

[spring lantern]

that final 'end,' shouldn't be there

[earnest oracle]

might be the comma at the last end

[tall wharf]

no

[maiden river]

[grim remnant]

hey, it's us again, yes it's that goshdarned blueprint-like joker again. it isn't copying DNA correctly. like, specifically DNA. we'd like it so it copies the card 3 additional times to what DNA does, but it just does it one extra time a-la normal blueprint. how could we add DNA compatibility for this thing?

[spring lantern]

[maiden river]

or estrogen, both are viable options

[spring lantern]

kimty

[tall wharf]

very abstract

i mean i am very capable of drawing anime girls

[spring lantern]

blueprint-like jokers are hell to make (source: i tried making one and right now it's a broken mess that does nothing right

[grim remnant]

well aware. ;P

[lyric skiff]

thank you, that fixed it!

[tall tangle]

me when I have Kirby, who not only does Blueprint to the left, but CREATES negative blueprints...

Good to know.

[spring lantern]

[distant tendon]

hey, sorry, can i ask about crashes here?

[tall tangle]

It's okay, you can only get three negative Blueprints from him before he FUCKING DIES

[tall tangle]

Ye

[distant tendon]

i got this crash and can't figure out what the problem is

[tall tangle]

No need to apologize if you're not being a dick

[distant tendon]

on startup :d

[spring lantern]

this crash says the script InkColor.lua from InkAndColor has a bad instruction in line 184

now to know why it's a bad instruction you're gonna have to look in there

[tall tangle]

It's trying to grab a field
The "field" it's going for isn't a field at all. It's a table.

[distant tendon]

i have never touched lua

[tall wharf]

:(

[lyric skiff]

yup we're in business

[distant tendon]

this is what's on line 184

what could this mean ?

[spring lantern]

you can also disable the problematic mod temporarily by adding a file called .lovelyignore i think

[tall tangle]

I have no idea how to do anything that has to do with programming so the best I can do is look at some words that kinda make sense in the context they're in and hope for the best.

[spring lantern]

oh you need to install smods

[distant tendon]

isn't that steammodded

cause i do have that

[lyric wadi]

im gonna try coding one of the joker idea i think

[spring lantern]

wait let me double check the mod list from the crash log

[tall tangle]

@spring lantern they have the latest smods version

[dim lynx]

show me your atlas

[sturdy compass]

yeah it looks like they have 0301 BETA which is quite recent

[tall tangle]

wait no that's 0301a

[distant tendon]

my what sorry

[spring lantern]

ah okay i missed that

[tall tangle]

Latest is 0301b

right?

I think?

[sturdy compass]

I don't think this is their mod causing the crash

[tall tangle]

I could be ENTIRELY wrong.

[distant tendon]

i mean if anything i instealled steammodded like an hour ago max

[sturdy compass]

yeah yours should be latest

[clear epoch]

wait this card art is peak

[dim lynx]

[SMODS InkAndColor "InkColor.lua"]:184: attempt to call field 'Blind' (a table value)

atlas = 'Blind'

[spring lantern]

okay so why does the game not recognize SMODS.Blind

[tall tangle]

line 184 is the opening of the command to grab the Blind for The Bleach, but smods is saying that's a table value, not a field

[spring lantern]

this isn't line 184 nor a table

[tall tangle]

AH

Okay

so

lemme

hold on lemme think here

neanderthal discovering how fire works, gimme a sec

[sturdy compass]

By "not their mod" I mean a mod they did not develop lol

[dim lynx]

youre all right i read too quickly sorry

[tall tangle]

Also yeah atlas = 'Blind' is line 189, not 184

[spring lantern]

might have to contact the mod creator if possible, this is a weird error for sure

[distant tendon]

well the thing is, earlier on the game booted with a Celeste cards mod, after installing other mods this error appeared, when i deleted this mod the Celeste cards mod was now failing

[tall tangle]

Yeah no I got nothin, I just kinda understand vaguely how that SHOULD work and slightly less vaguely how it's NOT working.

[distant grove]

Quick question for blinds do we need a new SMODS.Atlas?

[distant tendon]

this makes me think from my lack of knowledge that maybe one of the mods i installed fucked up something ????

[tall wharf]

holy shit

[distant grove]

FireB🔥 🔥

[spring lantern]

you can try disabling mods manually by adding a file like this inside the folder of the mod

.lovelyignore tells the injector to not inject the mods code into the game

[clear epoch]

in theory an atlas can be used for anything, it's just a sprite fetcher. but for practical uses then yeah

[sturdy compass]

Another thing you can do is a clean wipe of your mods folder (not counting smods) and go from there

[spring lantern]

yeah

[tall tangle]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1221606622208720916

You could also ask in there.

[distant tendon]

alright i'm trying to run the game after disabling the ink thing mod

[sturdy compass]

incrementally add mods til it starts fighting back

[tall tangle]

Toss down the crash log and see if you get an answer.

[distant tendon]

yay another error

[distant grove]

So I get a different atlas for both jokers and blinds?

[distant tendon]

which one ? the one i just got or

[tall tangle]

Oh so you just have a whole BUNCH of different suits mods don't you.

[tall tangle]

The first one, the attempt to index a field that's a table.

[distant tendon]

maybe :d

[distant grove]

That seems easy enough hopefully

[ivory coral]

This consumable im trying to make is giving me a lot of trouble, right now im getting the crash "attempt to index local 'p_edition' (a nil value), anybody can help? will send code in a sec

[distant tendon]

hold on i'll try disabling this one

might as well

[ivory coral]

its supposed to add a random enhancement, seal, and edition

[tall tangle]

Has Bunco been fixed yet?

Because I see Bunco and that will likely lead to ✨problems™️✨ in the future.

[spring lantern]

where is the p_edition line? i don't remember p_edition being anything

[lyric skiff]

this does cause the game to crash upon starting a run though. did i code the logic for the vouchers wrong? is there something more i have to do than the config line?

[spring lantern]

show card.lua:260 rq

[clear epoch]

you are using a LOT of mods after all, there's a big chance some aren't updated for recent steamodded/lovely versions
wait that mod is that 25th one?

[spring lantern]

yeah using too many mods can lead to many issues

[distant tendon]

what in the world does this mean

[spring lantern]

unless you know what you're doing

[sturdy compass]

LMAO I SEE IT 😭

[distant tendon]

don't ask 🔥

[spring lantern]

i mean what line of code is it

[ivory coral]

i dont know i never wrote p_edition anywhere

[spring lantern]

oh it's an smods thing

[clear epoch]

i chuckled, thanks

[spring lantern]

what the

[wintry solar]

that also not how you use SMODS.poll_seal or SMODS.poll_enhancement

I'm surprised that isn't where you crash

[ivory coral]

oh is it not

[lyric skiff]

seems to be this portion

this is part of the base game's code though im pretty sure

[spring lantern]

is center a variable

[ivory coral]

i based it on how the wiki says its supposed to be

[spring lantern]

did you make sure it's declared

[wintry solar]

no you didnt

[forest ivy]

what in the world is that 💔

[ivory coral]

where is it wrong then

[lyric skiff]

seems to be declared here

[wintry solar]

they take a table

[tall tangle]

Something isn't compatible with your Steamodded.

[forest ivy]

main question

what

[ivory coral]

you mean options in the arguments? it defaults to all available

[wintry solar]

no

[distant tendon]

so i tried reinstalling smods and that got me absolutely nowhere

[wintry solar]

the smods functions aren't like poll_edition

[distant tendon]

does anyone know what i can do :(

[tall tangle]

Concise answer, when in doubt... Bunco.
From there...
Good luck. You're gonna have to start kneecapping mods until it works.

[spring lantern]

okay so i guess the card init func doesn't get a center passed to it? damn

[forest ivy]

wrong, i deleted bunco

and kneecapping wont work as

it happens in game

not when i just launch the game

[ivory coral]

how do i use these then

[forest ivy]

but in round

[tall tangle]

I meant deleting mods until it works.

[wintry solar]

check what that line is in the lovely dump

[tall tangle]

Or just moving them out of the mods folder.

[forest ivy]

ik what it means

im saying itll be impossible to do because it crashes in round

[clear epoch]

nope, your function should be like SMODS.poll_seal({ key = "blah blah", mod = 2, guaranteed = true, etc. })

[forest ivy]

not in menu or when i just launch the game

and with a modded deck

[clear epoch]

correct me if i understood poorly

[forest ivy]

so if ill delete the modded deck or something that i had in the run

it might get even worse

[ivory coral]

ooh i see
doesnt look like it in the doc but ill try that

[forest ivy]

huuh.

[minor furnace]

Is there a way to return another blind's description as one of the vars in loc_vars()?

        name = "The Beast",
        text = {
            "Face the gauntlet...",
            "#1#",
            "#2#"
        }
    },
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    discovered = false,
    boss = {showdown = true, min = 10, max = 10},
    boss_colour = HEX('C72A00'),
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].name, G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].text}}
    end```

[distant tendon]

not to be annoying but can someone please help me :d

[clear epoch]

yeah it's poorly transmitted that args is a table

[sturdy compass]

I suggested earlier, might wanna just clear your mods folder (don't delete lovely or smods) and incrementally add mods til it stops liking it

[forest ivy]

i got a modpack that adds 150 blinds

:bro

💔

[distant tendon]

ah alright, hadn't seen your message, i'll try thanks

[clear epoch]

honestly? just add one mod at a time until you find the culprits

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[lyric skiff]

hmmm..

[forest ivy]

man i should learn how to make balatro modsb

because i got no idea how

💔

[ivory coral]

did this and nothing's changed, still getting the same p_edition nil value error

[clear epoch]

but for this specific crash it's tetrapak that's the cause

[lyric skiff]

i dont think that part of the code is wrong tho its probably something with my deck's code since it only crashes when i start a run with it but i dont know where to start with fixing that

[wintry solar]

poll_edition returns a key, you don't need to prefix e_ to it

[minor furnace]

since the other blinds this boss is compatible with only have descriptions that are one or two lines each, I might just hard code both of those cases in...

[distant tendon]

i'll keep that in mind ! thanks

also hey turns out ink and color wasn't the issue

[minor furnace]

my motto in modding has been "it may not be elegant, but it gets the job done"

[distant tendon]

something else must've messed up Something and that messed up ink and color

[sturdy compass]

very likely

[ivory coral]

aaah cheers it actually works now
i had an error earlier that i thought meant polledition wasnt returning with the e_

[clear epoch]

u mean putting the description in the info_queue?

[minor furnace]

is the info queue something I can use for this?

[clear epoch]

info_queue is like when you hover over the empress and the mult card description appears as well

[minor furnace]

yeah I've used it before for my custom consumables and jokers

[distant tendon]

welp i got a crash does someone know what mod this is from

[minor furnace]

there is no info queue for blinds though

[broken cliff]

ur returning the text table in second option
if im gonna be honest u could have it check how much text in the blind description

[clear epoch]

hold on ik a mod that did something like that, lemme find it

[broken cliff]

then append it to the table

then return it

[sturdy compass]

What's the most recent mod you added?

[forest ivy]

anything but just make smth that will check if ur mod can work with all version's of steammodded and lovely

[minor furnace]

although if I append it then I need to worry about removing it when the effect changes

[spring lantern]

i present my 100% original and legally distinct character: pokemon wearing hat

[forest ivy]

and return error's with version's if they appear

💔

[broken cliff]

so like this
for i,v in pairs(G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].text do
-- code to add to ur table
end

[broken cliff]

loc vars is a dynamic function i think

[distant tendon]

well i was adding three at a time but i found out which one it was, it was tetrapak

[broken cliff]

wait

[sturdy compass]

cool

[broken cliff]

there also might be another problem

idk if the method WILL work since #2# will probably only end up displaying 1 text

so u can try concatonating the string to be one instead of putting them all in a table
or u can try to add like more #x# things idk.

or update the loc_txt itself...? idk how the game would react to that

[minor furnace]

yeah I just went with this

        name = "The Beast",
        text = {
            "Face the gauntlet...",
            "#1#",
            "#2#",
            "#3#"
        }
    },
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    discovered = false,
    boss = {showdown = true, min = 10, max = 10},
    boss_colour = HEX('C72A00'),
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        if #G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].text == 1 then
            return {vars = {G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].name, G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].text[1], ""}}
        else
            return {vars = {G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].name, G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].text[1], G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].text[2]}}
        end
    end,```

since my descriptions are at most two lines for this specific effect

[broken cliff]

aight

[minor furnace]

actually, I could probably reduce it to one return

do something like
"" or G.localization.descriptions.Blind[G.GAME.beast_wave].text[2]

[broken cliff]

this writing is Fire

[clear epoch]

ok so i found the mod

it's #1343670935122870342 and it uses a custom toml patch to implement the blind tooltips

[tall wharf]

wtf do i do for q

[clear epoch]

you should find it under the lovely directory

[clear epoch]

question mark?

[minor furnace]

quicksort

[broken cliff]

quick

question

qrcode

quirk

[tall wharf]

i went with this

[broken cliff]

quip

[sturdy compass]

quill!

[lyric skiff]

ok i diagnosed the problem haha

[broken cliff]

for Ъ you should do Ъорошо

[minor furnace]

blue vowels

[lyric skiff]

had the keys for the vouchers wrong, i could not find documentation for what the keys actually are though so ill do some guesswork (found the keys in the game's source code we GOOD)

[broken cliff]

and for ш you should do Шорох

dont forget the д tho

[spring lantern]

this mod is one of the most autism coded things ive made in my life

[broken cliff]

bro does NOT know about 300+ if statements for all the vanilla joker abilities 🙏🏿 😭

[spring lantern]

oh no i've seen them with my own eyes

[clear epoch]

undertale dialogue ahh if else chain 😭 🙏

[broken cliff]

hey listen if u do not have a stockpile of if conditions in your indie game

[broken cliff]

are you really an indie dev?

[spring lantern]

yall talk about if else chains, i present to you, the vvvvvv giga switch statement

[clear epoch]

if you don't make people reading your source code go insane you're not a dev of any kind

[broken cliff]

you go insane from the following

1. you realize your code is inferior
   OR
2. you get a sudden rush of anger from having someone do the worst possible code on the planet(it barely affects anything)

[distant tendon]

hi guys it's federapi that breaks the thing

[sturdy compass]

Real

[clear epoch]

can't be that ba- FOUR THOUSAND NINETY NINE CASES?

[scarlet spire]

how can I make the description text of an enhancement/joker change color based on a bool?

I know of the example case for changing text colors in the vanilla jokers example mod, but I don't quite understand it enough to know how to convert it to work with a boolean

[turbid maple]

your loc_var is just a function

have it return a dif color based on said boolean

[clear epoch]

the {V:} format changes the color for the one specified in the colour variable passed in loc_vars

use a "ternary" for the value you assign it

[scarlet spire]

okay wait yeah this was sort of what I was already doing

but, hmm
it only ever returns green, never red

the text itself returns correctly, but the color doesn't

[red flower]

then thats never true

[strong jacinth]

How would I draw a random card from deck, rotate 90 degrees, then after that renderthe deck on top. Like change the position of the deck

[scarlet spire]

why would the bit above ever return "will destroy" then? because that works fully as intended

[red flower]

that's weird then

how is the description written

[scarlet spire]

here's the full block

also, is it possible to use variable colors as the block behind the text (i.e. how Xmult is displayed), instead of for the text itself?

[tall wharf]

there we go

[dim lynx]

What’s hash for

[tall wharf]

wild card

[clear epoch]

{X:color}

[red flower]

im not sure what the problem is honestly

[dim lynx]

So what if I play 5 wild cards

What would it spell

[scarlet spire]

I mean, when I have the colors as a variable as opposed to just typing it directly.

[turbid maple]

Jimbo

[dim lynx]

Also why is Z a magnifying glass

Is there another name for them which is z

[clear epoch]

oh i see, my bad

this is all there is on the wiki, so unless it's undocumented, small chance

[clear epoch]

zoom?

[dim lynx]

Holy you’re so smart

[scarlet spire]

great, is there really not a variable color option for the X: text block

[dim lynx]

X:mult

Iirc

[scarlet spire]

I reiterate

[dim lynx]

Sorry. I just tuned in

[tall wharf]

:3

[dim lynx]

Aiko what will it spell if I play just wilds

[clear epoch]

poor U is being left out :(

[tall wharf]

?

[zealous glen]

Cute

[clear epoch]

he's on the other page unlike his vowel friends :(

[zealous glen]

@tall wharf what do you think of this artwork (blood, or blood imagery)

[tall wharf]

omg

that one synthv i forgor

[light gazelle]

do you guys have any tips for making your pixel art look less fuzzy?

[zealous glen]

I think it's the Miku equivalent of the voice program they use

[zealous glen]

what do you mean? in-game?

[light gazelle]

like the joker I made looks a little fuzzier than other similar jokers

yeah

maybe i saved the image incorrectly?

[zealous glen]

I think it's a filter the game applies

There's also some love stuff going on

Usually on the edges

Firch knows better

[spring lantern]

i will say some of the curves look a bit inconsistent in their shape

[errant fulcrum]

God bless those who have had bugs before me, I've been able to search this channel for every issue giving me a headache

[spring lantern]

especially the mag

[light gazelle]

oh that's just because I am an amateur pixel artist

[zealous glen]

Here, the edges on the collar look thicker than they are, and the top right looks pure grey, but we can see it has a bit of red on the bottom left

No idea why it looks like that

[light gazelle]

jokers from other mods look a bit sharper

[spring lantern]

yea that's fair, just think that might be contributing to the fuzziness

[zealous glen]

Smartest modder 🌌 🧠

[zealous glen]

Oh how are you upscaling

[graceful magnet]

does SMODS or base game have something for checking when a card changes suits or enhancements?

[light gazelle]

how should I be? (I used paint.net and saved ti at double canvas size lol

[errant fulcrum]

It pays to be a game dev

[zealous glen]

Firch made Bunco by the way

[dim lynx]

canvas size or resize

[zealous glen]

You should use nearest neighbor

Not interpolation

[light gazelle]

oh ok

[zealous glen]

not that I know of

[light gazelle]

I presume that's a setting when I save it at a larger canvas size

thanks

without pixel art smoothing on it looks like every other joker

[zealous glen]

idk about paint.net, let me see Photopea

[spring lantern]

when i wanted to check for cards changing rank/suit i had to hook into the Card:set_base() function

[light gazelle]

I have aseprite aswell

[zealous glen]

t's because it uses the 1x image

[spring lantern]

as for enhancements im not sure maybe set_ability

[light gazelle]

yup yup

[zealous glen]

I think Aseprite automatically scales it correctly since it's made for pixel art

[graceful magnet]

welp guess I'm gonna go do things in an incredibly stupid way

[clear epoch]

generally speaking, jokers in vanilla(and other mods i suppose) have defined outlines. maybe this is also a reason why it looks a bit out of place

[zealous glen]

Photopea

[light gazelle]

just got aseprite today so i'm still learning the ropes, I am as of now unaware of how to upscale images in there

[light gazelle]

thanks for the advice

[zealous glen]

You can choose the option when exporting

[spring lantern]

export for twitter 😭

never used aseprite is it worth it if im already doing fine with photoshop

[zealous glen]

You could try it for free

[light gazelle]

idk I just got it, but i've heard that it's nice if you're specifically trying to do pixel art

[zealous glen]

I think the annoying part is not having automatic rotational symmetry

[spring lantern]

probably a good idea for when my student license runs out 🫠

[zealous glen]

You can try Photopea as an alternative to Photoshop

[clear epoch]

TRUE 😭

[spring lantern]

right i forgot clones exist

[clear epoch]

literally my biggest gripe

[zealous glen]

I think it might be coming in an update

I couldn't find an extension that does it 😭

[clear epoch]

other than that, amazing software, worth my money

[clear epoch]

we pray

[zealous glen]

I compiled it for free but I should buy it sometime

[light gazelle]

oh yeah this looks so much better

thanks guys

now to try to code a joker that isn't just a walkie talkie reskin

[zealous glen]

nearest neighbor

interpolation

[light gazelle]

on god

<---- baby's first pixel art experience

[zealous glen]

your status and bio are very funny

if your profile picture was a gif of a cat looking at the screen it would be funnier

[light gazelle]

thanks pal, i've had it that way for like 5-6 years

[zealous glen]

I had an avatar and bio combo I kept for years

but not for positive reasons at first v_v

[light gazelle]

the beautiful gray

[zealous glen]

speaking of which

I need to put another Joker that's darker than Balatro grey into the game

[graceful magnet]

incredibly stupid way done, time to see if it works

[strong jacinth]

How do you use a sprite sheet.

Like with smods.

[scarlet spire]

looking into it, this is just not programmed into the dynatext system at all

[tall wharf]

art improvement

[distant grove]

whats the code that is needed to make the joker already discovered?

cause i forgot

[stiff locust]

discovered = true,

is there an example mod for enhancements

cant find one on the smods example mods page

anyone got a reference

[spring lantern]

i know there's one for editions and seals but not enhancements afaik

[stiff locust]

yeah

[spring lantern]

unforchuinte

[stiff locust]

any small clean mods i can look at to get an idea

[distant grove]

thx

[zealous glen]

what do them letters do

[zealous glen]

Oh it just adds letters to the cards

Yeah I saw the video right after

[runic pecan]

Is it card.config.center.member or just card.member?

[sullen fern]

guess what happened.
vscode spat out the alabell lua into the jokers folder.

but! now alabell is real

[lyric wadi]

hello code hepl pls

Intended Behaviour : After hand is scored, roll some RNG check.

• If pass, Joker should say "Safe!"
• If fail, Joker should say "Reset!", do the animation, and reset some variables

What's happening :
Sometimes the animation play, but no text is shown and the variable doesn't reset
The safe text also doesn't show up

[distant grove]

qucik question

[lyric wadi]

am i using the wrong trigger/context or

[distant grove]

hwo to make it actiavet

[lyric wadi]

oh oop

[distant grove]

when a high card happens?

[lyric wadi]

the docs has it i think

[distant grove]

oh yea

thanks

[lyric wadi]

the example mod has Runner

which checks for Straight

[distant grove]

k

[lyric wadi]

you can yoink that

[distant grove]

i just yoink the context.joker main and the context.before yea?

nvm

[runic pecan]

context.gameover is usually nil except when context.end_of_round, which doesn't happen with context.after.
And context.after doesn't have context.repetition, either.

[spring lantern]

this aint even an oc mod anymore im jus adding random youtubers and shit

[graceful magnet]

so I'm saving cards to an extra table, but it's erroring out when it tries to compare to what's saved in the table

the saving to table code

[spring lantern]

whats the error?

[spring lantern]

i think to access base you need to go into config.center

[sullen fern]

okay, now to code alabell

which is as follows.
add a self destruct seal to two selected cards

[spring lantern]

so like card.ability.extra.refHand[i].config.center.base

although you can also do is_suit() and get_id() directly from the card object

[mellow marsh]

how should i interpret errors like this? ive got a lot of mods installed so i'm not sure really where to narrow this down to

[spring lantern]

what the hell is a 7869

[graceful magnet]

do a skim through the crash log below and try and pinpoint mod names

[spring lantern]

huh

[earnest oracle]

anybody's ever changed the in-game music with create_option_cycle?

[clear epoch]

there's more stuff in the crash log, usually reading carefully will tell which mod's functions caused the error

[runic pecan]

bump

[spring lantern]

okay so whatever you're saving into the table has no config table, that's weird

[runic pecan]

May we see the whole calculate function?

[graceful magnet]

in a moment, trying something

[mellow marsh]

larger stack trace looks like this. only mod name i can pick out is steamodded, and that line of overrides.lua isn't pointing at any relevant code as far as i can tell

[sturdy compass]

hey i know that guy

[graceful magnet]

yeah

[mellow marsh]

(granted the error is more likely pointing at a modded version of the file rather than the original one, but some mod i have installed makes --dump-all crash on startup so i dont have access to that either :( )

i guess before i put any energy into debugging further im just gonna go up-to-date on all of my mods

[runic pecan]

Could you also describe the effect of your joker?
As in, what is in loc_txt.text?

[graceful magnet]

Gains 5 chips whenever a card changes suit or becomes a wild card

[sullen fern]

i'm looking at the code for "obituary" from the pokermon mod to see if i can learn anything about adding seals to cards from it

[runic pecan]

Usually I would recommend to hook suit changing functions,
or to store the suits in the list instead of storing cards.

[graceful magnet]

yeah might be best to store the suit

[runic pecan]

And what if a card is already a wild card?
And what if there are modded enhancement that does something similar to Wild enhancement?

[spring lantern]

only a couple left

man im tired

[zealous glen]

Is Alex doing sign language

[spring lantern]

not really thats jus meant to be L-6

[zealous glen]

-6?

[spring lantern]

L6*

[zealous glen]

6?

[distant grove]

am i doing this right?

for multiplying

[zealous glen]

culate

[spring lantern]

culate

[distant grove]

culate?

Oh

[spring lantern]

t = 1,
ity = 1

[distant grove]

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

[zealous glen]

interesting

[distant grove]

couldnt get the whole code

in img

[zealous glen]

I didn't know

[distant grove]

just asking if thats how your supposed to do multiplication or nah

[spring lantern]

i think it's type = 'var'

let me double check

[distant grove]

k

[distant grove]

k

[runic pecan]

So what if, instead of store the suit, you store a truth table of each suit?
Like { Hearts = _card:is_suit("Hearts"), ...}
And then you compare with each element of the truth tables.
This way you don't need to worry about Wild cards.

[spring lantern]

also Xmult_mod rather than mult_mod

[distant grove]

where do you see the mult mod

[spring lantern]

i meant to send this one

[distant grove]

nvm

okay

and i think

the first joker in this dumb mod is done

hopefully

now to find it in my shop

[frosty dock]

Also xmult rather than Xmult_mod+message

[spring lantern]

man i forgot things are easier now

[distant grove]

wait i dont need the message =

[spring lantern]

i still do it the mod+msg way

[distant grove]

anymore??

[frosty dock]

yeah don't do that

[distant grove]

uh

[sullen fern]

yeah, i can use this.

[frosty dock]

you just do xmult=card.ability.extra.xmult or whatever

[distant grove]

ah

i think imma keep it for now

[frosty dock]

y'all need to read https://github.com/steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

[distant grove]

and if any issues pop upo

i'll just change it

[sullen fern]

all i really need to change is how many cards get a seal

[spring lantern]

i read it on the daily and i still default to deprecated shit 😭

[frosty dock]

rip

[runic pecan]

bump

[edgy reef]

former

[frosty dock]

card.config.center.member with what you did there

[spring lantern]

like lowkey i still catch myself writing eval_this()

[zealous glen]

:)

[distant grove]

how do i make it so that I start with the joker at the start of a run?

[distant grove]

ruh roh

[graceful magnet]

where should I put this and how do I use this

[sullen fern]

so, it begins

now, adding the code that creates the seal

[runic pecan]

if context.before then
    cae.refHand = {}
    for i,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        local _table = {}
        for _,_suit in ipairs([the pool for all suits in game]) do
            _table[_suit] = v:is_suit(_suit)
        end
        cae.refHand[i] = _table
    end
elseif context.after then
    for i,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        local _tick = false
        for _,_suit in ipairs([the pool for all suits in game]) do
            if cae.refHand[i][_suit] ~= v:is_suit(_suit) then
                _tick = true
                break
            end
        end
        if _tick then
            [Gain +5 chips]
            [use SMODS.calculate_effect instead of return]
        end
    end
end```

I forgot the variable name of the pool for all suits in game.

[solid surge]

got two questions:

1. how would i make a joker whose ability works when a players income is negative
2. in the photo provided, if i switched out edition for enhancement, would it still work or is that a whole other story

[mellow marsh]

ok 30 minutes later all mods are updated and, if i'm interpreting the error right, it's a CCC problem?

[runic pecan]

1. You can hook function ease_dollars.
2. not context.repetition and context.other_card are redundant when context.individual is true. I also think enhancement would be another story.

[graceful magnet]

this isn't crashing but it's, also not doing anything

[runic pecan]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message=localize("k_upgrade_ex")}, card)

[graceful magnet]

okay that's

a result (I played a 5 card hand)

[graceful magnet]

I have never used that before

[solid surge]

thanks (:

[runic pecan]

I was told that it works similarly with return but allows you do multiple messages in one context.

[wintry solar]

its not really for multiple messages

[runic pecan]

I know it's not its main purpose, but that part of functionality is currently what matters to me the most.

[graceful magnet]

this also does not work with suit changing Tarot cards

[runic pecan]

Your original code made me think you only want to consider the case where the cards change suit during scoring, sorry.
Consider hooking with SMODS.change_base or Card:change_suit, then.

[wintry solar]

in what situation are you using it for multiple messages?

[runic pecan]

One example is when I need to deal with each played card individually in context before/after

[wintry solar]

it looks like there isnt a deck calculate call there

[wintry solar]

ah you mean multiple messages like that, fair

[maiden phoenix]

Can it be integrated into SMODS or do I have to do it myself

[wintry solar]

yeah it should be

[maiden phoenix]

Awesome, lemme know when it's added please 😄

[indigo mesa]

how do i make a custom poker hand in smods? i have basically no programming knowledge and tried to make one with the RoyalFlush example mod and it appears in the poker hands tab but it isnt playable

[maiden phoenix]

This might help: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.PokerHand

[indigo mesa]

is this good?

    key = 'ManoAz',
    visible = false,
    chips = 903,
    mult = 93,
    l_chips = 90,
    l_mult = 3,
    example = {
        { 'S_4',    true },
        { 'H_K',    true },
        { 'D_7',    true },
        { 'D_3',    true },
        { 'C_Q',    true },
    },
    loc_txt = {
        ['en-us'] = {
            name = 'Mano de Az promedio',
            description = {
                'la mano maineada mas promedio del blud'
            }
        }
    },
    evaluate = function(parts, hand)
            return hand.ManoAz
    end
}```

[maiden phoenix]

Never made a poker hand, but I don't think that's how evaluate work

Check other mods that add poker hands like AutumnCircus

[indigo mesa]

bet, thank you :)

[distant grove]

anybody know how to make it so that you get a joker at the start of a run?

[placid frigate]

Is there a guide/selection code for making challenges have specific cards in a deck (deck if all kings or deck of all hearts cards)?

[red flower]

deck part https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Challenge

[formal parrot]

I just made my first modded joker 😭don’t mind the art i have no background in pixel art

[distant grove]

wow

very nice

[formal parrot]

Thanks :3

[placid frigate]

Thank you

[distant grove]

im still trying to get mine in a run bruh

😭 '

[formal parrot]

Use debug plus mod to make it easier and make it a low rarity

[distant grove]

oh

[formal parrot]

Thats so nice

[distant grove]

its already at common

[distant grove]

thanks

👍

trying to mod lor

into balatro

its going

eh

[formal parrot]

Add like 700$ and start rerolling

[distant grove]

k

[formal parrot]

Same LOL

Good luck 💗

[distant grove]

you too

[faint yacht]

Remind me how to access the "center" of an existing card?

[runic pecan]

card.config.center?

[distant grove]

how to give yoursel 700 dollars with debug plus?

actuallyy

yea idk how

[runic pecan]

Hold Tab, and hit that +$10 button 70 times.

[distant grove]

thx

uh holding tab

and dont see it?

[runic pecan]

one sec

[distant grove]

nvm

i see it now

I see it now

My lag😭

[graceful magnet]

while this works for one specific card interaction, it doesn't reeeeeeeally work how I'd like it to still, because it only adds more Chips after the hand is done, and if I alter the contexts in any way, none of it works

[fresh swallow]

Hay, I have a message in my modding thread that I want to get pinned. Is there anyone here that can do that for me?

https://discordapp.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1342904656124182618

Just the one with the image

[runic pecan]

Would you like to consider hooking SMODS.change_base or Card:change_suit instead?

[graceful magnet]

yes

[red flower]

i ping Egg usually

[sonic cedar]

ping eggslashether in your thread

[runic pecan]

Do you need a guide or you already know how to do that?

[distant grove]

um

[graceful magnet]

Of the over 50 cards I've made not a single one of them has hooked anything so yeah guidance would be helpful

[distant grove]

i cant see the jokers name

and what they do.

uhh

[indigo mesa]

i got my poker hand to work but now it detects anything as it

    key = 'ManoAz',
    chips = 903,
    mult = 93,
    l_chips = 90,
    l_mult = 3,
    example = {
        { 'S_4',    true },
        { 'H_K',    true },
        { 'D_7',    true },
        { 'D_3',    true },
        { 'C_Q',    true },
    },
    loc_txt = {
        ['en-us'] = {
            name = 'Mano de Az promedio',
            description = {
                'la mano main del blud'
            }
        }
    },
    evaluate = function(parts, hand)
            return { hand }
    end
}```

[distant grove]

weird

when debug isnt on i can see them

but when it is i cant

[spring lantern]

with debugplus enabled go to your collection and press 3 on any joker to spawn it

[distant grove]

k

but like i cant see the names of the jokers or their ability

[runic pecan]

function the_function_to_be_hooked([function inputs])
    [Something you want to happen before the stuff]
    temporary_function_name([function inputs])
    [Something you want to happen after the stuff]
end```

[distant grove]

nvm

i can see them now

mb fellas

and ze crash

[runic pecan]

What is its condition and why is this average ace hand in spanish under en-us?

[indigo mesa]

im testing the game in en.us, ill change that later

and wym its condition?

[indigo mesa]

lmaoo

[runic pecan]

As in, when would a hand be considered a ManoAz.

[indigo mesa]

its not a average ace hand, its Az's Average Hand cause he always be overcomplicating builds, if u cant tell, its a joke mod lmao

[indigo mesa]

when it has 4 of spades, king of hearts, 7 of diamonds, 3 of diamonds, and queen of clubs in that specific order

[runic pecan]

Google translator shenanigan, I guess.

[indigo mesa]

ace is "as" so its kinda similar

[runic pecan]

IN that specific ORDER?

[indigo mesa]

yea if its not too complex to program lmaoo

i want to make it as odd as possible

[runic pecan]

Honestly that might even make it easier to code.

[graceful magnet]

right

I, don't, know what to do with this

ExampleJokers uses Castle for this which is exclusively setting up a variable, so that's, not really helpful.

Like I do not know where to go from here

[indigo mesa]

bet, so whats the problem that makes it trigger when i select ANY card?

[distant grove]

why did my crash happen?

trying to figue it out rn

[scarlet spire]

ignore the description, right now this enhancement is supposed to be playable once, and then the second time you play the card, it destroys itself.
for some reason, it's global between all cards, and playing one of them and then a second one destroys the second one, AND it saves between instances of the game and only resets on reload ???

I take a two day break from programming and I forget literally everything, the issue is probably obvious I don't know at this point

[runic pecan]

For example, you can do this:

function Card:change_suit(new_suit)
    suitChanger(self,new_suit)
    for _,J in ipairs(G.jokers.cards)do
        J:calculate_joker({suit_change=true,...})
    end
end```

[runic pecan]

And then you'll have context.suit_change to trigger your joker.

[runic pecan]

Because you return {hand} no matter the condition?

[runic pecan]

Sorry, my bad.
local suitChanger = Card.change_suit
Dot instead of colon.

[indigo mesa]

ur right. so i gotta put the return {hand} inside an if, but how would it detect its THAT hand

sorry i have 0 programming knowledge, ty for ur patience...

[indigo mesa]

bet, thanks a lot kind person 🙏 🫶

[mystic river]

have you tried setting extra.has_been_played to false instead of nil? i don't know if this changes anything

[runic pecan]

Alternatively, if you don't mind one long-'S code, you can also and-chain all 10 conditions.

[indigo mesa]

you mean like:
if hand[1]:is_suit("Spades") and hand[1]:get_id()==4 and hand[2]:is_suit("Hearts") and hand[2]:get_id()==13... and so on?

bet

[scarlet spire]

nil is falsy so this wouldn't matter, and is unrelated to the issue where the value is treated as global instead of per-card and persists until the game restarts

[old bane]

i wonder if it would be possible to add stickers to consumables. If not, I can most likely replicate the behavior of a specific sticker using the card's calculate function 🤔

[runic pecan]

Try card.ability.extra.has_been_played = true instead of self.config.extra.has_been_played.

[indigo mesa]

Oops! The game crashed:
[SMODS idk "main.lua"]:33: attempt to index a nil value

[scarlet spire]

oh god, right, it's card.ability instead of self.config

I forgot about that whole thing

I'd want it to be card.ability in the loc_vars too, right?

[runic pecan]

Put if hand == nil then return {} end before local _tick = 0, match the indent.

[indigo mesa]

bet, ty

tf

it still crashes, it crashes when i start up balatro

[runic pecan]

huh

[indigo mesa]

yea

[scarlet spire]

okay hmm, it now seems my new issue is how to get a card enhancement to do something at the end of every ante, regardless of position

if the card is in the deck, it seems it doesn't do anything during end of round context, which I guess makes sense

might just have to patch that behavior in? maybe that's overkill, not sure what other potential implementations of this could be

[graceful magnet]

where is the code for the functionality of the Enhancement Tarot cards stored? Trying to locate Lovers comes up with nothing in basically anywhere

[runic pecan]

Just straight up crashed? Without anything such as Error message?

[indigo mesa]

it plays the intro animation, cuts halfway and says the same error mesage

attempted to index a nil value

and the "if hand == nil then return {} end" matches the indent and is before local _tick = 0

[runic pecan]

Which line did the error occured?

wait, nvm

[indigo mesa]

if hand[1]:is_suit("Spades") and hand[1]:get_id()==4 then

[distant grove]

why doesnt my joker have a animation and the red and blue box for chips and mukt?

[runic pecan]

Might not help but add if #hand ~= 5 then return {} end following that.

[indigo mesa]

okei

it helped, ty :)

[royal carbon]

Is there something special I have to do to get SMODS.Ranks to not be nil?? I'm so confused, I can't seem to get anything out of it no matter what I do
At least I'm assuming it's nil cause I'm getting empty lines when I try to print anything, even a key which should by all rights just be a string

[runic pecan]

What is the name of the variable you've tried to print?

[royal carbon]

This is currently what I'm trying to do, I tried SMODS.Ranks[1] on its own and it also gave me nothing

[runic pecan]

What do you currently think SMODS.Rank is?

[royal carbon]

I'm trying to upgrade scored cards (in a way that supports modded ranks) but I was kinda getting desperate

[runic pecan]

So you want a pool that contains all ranks available in game, is that right?

[royal carbon]

It would help, and I thought SMODS.Ranks was that

[runic pecan]

SMODS.Rank is an object declaring function, if this info would help.

@frosty dock Which variable is the pool for all in-game suit/rank?

[tepid crow]

is it not SMODS.Ranks?

[runic pecan]

Wait, hold on.

[tepid crow]

SMODS.Rank is the base class

[runic pecan]

Well I'll be damned.

[tepid crow]

yeah it's just a map indexed by card value instead of a lua """list"""

[runic pecan]

So, the reason SMODS.Ranks[1] being nil is because there's no rank with id 1.

[royal carbon]

So how do I reference a specific rank then would I have to use its key to get its key??

[runic pecan]

What effect do you want to achieve?

[tepid crow]

next time just try tprinting the entire table btw

[royal carbon]

I want to increase the rank of each scored card by 1

[tepid crow]

oh do NOT change SMODS.Ranks for that haha

[runic pecan]

So like Strength

[royal carbon]

Yes, pretty much

[tepid crow]

you'd be changing the definitions of what the actual ranks are internally lol

anyway take a look at SMODS implementation of Strength

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/game_object.lua#L2045

[royal carbon]

Something I forgot to mention is I don't want the last rank to loop around to the lowest (like how aces become 2s with vanilla Strength), how would I go about doing that

[runic pecan]

You'll encounter hotel room paradox.

[tepid crow]

the hotel room paradox? 🤔

[royal carbon]

son of a bitch

[tepid crow]

the "fully occupied hotel with infinitely many rooms may still accommodate additional guests, even infinitely many of them" paradox?

[runic pecan]

A new customer walked in to the infinite hotel, but the infinite hotel is full.
So the new customer was arranged to Room 1, and the resident of Room 1 is rearranged to Room 2, and so on.

[tepid crow]

I mean, there's no internal definition (in vanilla or smods) that a rank is the "highest" as far as I can tell

unless...

sorting? 🤔

[runic pecan]

I thought you're gonna say declare any new ones on flight.

[tepid crow]

https://tenor.com/ngmuysuNB4K.gif

[runic pecan]

Anyway, you'll need to at least stop at somewhere.

Unless you really want to register for Every Single Goddamned Positive Integers.

[tepid crow]

hmm, basegame uses Card:get_nominal to sort cards

you might be able to use that

(which in 99% of cases boils down to Card.base.nominal)

[solid surge]

how exactly is a modded enhancement formatted? cuz im tryna make one and i feel as if somethings in the wrong place

there we go

[frigid elm]

Ight, I've been flipping through the code for a while and while I'm finding some stuff detecting which hand is being played, but I don't see anything I could use to set the hand.

[buoyant shard]

context.remove_playing_cards and context.playing_card_added only triggers once when multiple cards are removed/added and I don't know why it's not triggering for each card

[errant fulcrum]

Is there a trigger for buying a voucher? I can't find anything about it

[rough furnace]

Card:redeem

unless you mean a context

if so unsure

[errant fulcrum]

Oh sorry I meant context

[rough furnace]

buying_card mqaybe works

[errant fulcrum]

won't that trigger for all purchases?

[rough furnace]

yes

[red flower]

you need to check that context.card is a voucher

[errant fulcrum]

ohhhhh

[scarlet spire]

really odd issue, Card:get_chip_x_mult returns X3 when used on a glass card? is it accidentally adding the X2 to what is presumably a card base value of X1 instead of multiplying it properly?

wait no, I see what's going on, nevermind, it was on my side

or.. is it? this might be an issue with the new(ish) hiker-style xmult accumulation
setting a regular card's ability.perma_x_mult to 2 gives it X3

[tepid crow]

yeah it's a bit weird like that

[scarlet spire]

doesn't seem intentional?

like, that just shouldn't happen, why is it adding xmult instead of multiplying it like it should

[red flower]

I'm guessing so you can easily have cards that say "add 0.1 mult"

[scarlet spire]

right, I guess it does make a little more sense from the accumulation perspective, actually

hmm

I guess I should just subtract 1 when setting?

[tepid crow]

wait why does it default to 0 but add 1

I thought it'd at least default to 1

[scarlet spire]

....oops

[tepid crow]

nice lol

[scarlet spire]

score nuke

oh that's what is extra confusing about this

actually I really don't know

why did this base card just return an xmult of 0 that's not right

[graceful magnet]

for some reason Boss Blinds activate the first part of this if instead of the other part

okay well now I know I'm using the wrong thing to check

[red flower]

I use G.GAME.blind.boss

[graceful magnet]

I just dunno what the right thing to check is

that's probably easier

[errant fulcrum]

if context.buying_card and context.card == ('Voucher') then
            return {
                card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 2,
                message = 'Upgrade!',
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end

Am I missing something

[graceful magnet]

Vouchers are not cards

[errant fulcrum]

Oh

[graceful magnet]

and that is the extent I know how to help

[mystic river]

this mostly works the way i want but the upgrade message happens after the upgraded cards get juiced up and i don't know how to fix the timing on that

[lavish lake]

Yo guys, how do I make a consumable again in steamodded?

[mystic river]

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

[lavish lake]

Ok but what about making a custom consumable type?

[mystic river]

that one's over here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype

[lavish lake]

SMODS.ObjectType {
    key = "chemical",
    primary_colour = "CCCCCC",
    secondary_colour = "ADADAD",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Chemical",
        collection = "Chemical Cards",
        undiscovered = {
            name = "Undiscovered",
            text = {
                "You haven't discovered this Chemical yet!"
            }
        }
    }
}

Why is the mod loader not loading this in? It's getting loaded before all the consumables.

Oh shit

I had to change ObjectType to ConsumableType, but now the game is crashing when I enter the collection

[opal spade]

they are cards though

the thing going wrong is that you don't buy them

you redeem them

[gusty python]

Hi!, i was wondering wether it would be possible to make a joker give a specific tarot card at the start of a round

[red flower]

yes

[faint heron]

how do i get it to play the desired "ultrakillcoinsound"? im trying to replace the "xmult" sound with it

[restive bronze]

what could be the cause of this?

Oops! The game crashed:
[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]:949: attempt to index local 'card' (a nil value)

[faint heron]

im not sure i quite understand

[red flower]

return sound = 'soundname'

[gusty python]

I asked chatgpt in Web browsing mode and it came up with this code

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'HERMIT_GIVER',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Blind Sage',
        text = {
            'Adds {C:attention}The Hermit{} Tarot card when entering a Blind'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = , y = 0},
    config = {},
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.enter_blind then
            G.GAME:add_to_deck('tarot_hermit', 1) -- Adds "The Hermit" Tarot card
            return {
                message = 'The Hermit has joined your deck!',
                colour = G.C.TAROT
            }
        end
    end
}

It shows up in game and doesn't crash the game but it doesn't create a card when you enter a blind

[red flower]

because that's not a function that exists and 'tarot_hermit' also doesn't exist

I'm pretty sure it's setting_blind and not enter_blind as well

overall I wouldn't recommend chatgpt for coding in a very niche api

[gusty python]

Thanks for the advice, would you happen to know where i can see the actual ID for consumables?

[faint heron]

it says is does not exist, although it in fact does exist

[red flower]

search for P_CENTERS in the code
I'm pretty sure it's something like c_hermit

[red flower]

never used sounds so I'm not sure
have you tried appending your mod's prefix to the sound key?

[faint heron]

what is exactly "the mod prefix"?

[red flower]

do you have a steamodded header in your mod file or are you using the json

[faint heron]

i got the steamodded header

[red flower]

do you have a --- PREFIX: field

[faint heron]

nope

[red flower]

then your mod's prefix is the first four letters of your MOD_ID
it's used to identify things from your mod so there aren't any name conflicts

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[gusty python]

I think it worked becuase at the start of a blind the game crashed

Oops! The game crashed:
[SMODS CBALATRO "main.lua"]:88: attempt to call method 'add_to_deck' (a nil value)

Sorry if we are beign anoying with questions by the way

[red flower]

that function doesn't exist

use
SMODS.add_card({key = 'c_hermit'})

i also recommend reading the wiki https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[faint heron]

it got the sound to play which is good, but now its playing both the mult sound and the sound. how would go about making it just replace the sound instead?

[gusty python]

It works now! thank you!

[red flower]

use xmult_mod instead, that should give xmult without playing a message or sound

[lavish lake]

Anybody?

[errant fulcrum]

if context.buying_card and context.card == G.vouchers then
            return {
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 2,
                card = card,
                message = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
                }
        end

[quasi comet]

Is there a context for destroyed consumables? I'm trying to have a card upgrade when a consumable or joker is destroyed, but cards_destroyed doesn't work.

[faint heron]

I tried adding the both "a_xmult_mod" as well as "xmult_mod". neither seem to quite replace the original mult sound, is there something i might be missing?

[errant fulcrum]

So this finally doesnt crash but Im not sure how to trigger on voucher purchases

[restive bronze]

a get_id is causing this, how could I fix it?

[red flower]

i mean the first line in the return that says Xmult

change that

[red flower]

are you doing card:get_id with the colon?

[red flower]

AFAIK no, you need to make your own

[faint heron]

okay! that seems to be all done and working, thanks for the help!

[quasi comet]

ahh. alright!

[tall wharf]

damn vgen

[placid frigate]

where would you put deck.yes_suits in your challenge code?

[red flower]

not on my PC so I can't check but i think it's something like context.card.ability.set == 'Voucher'

[errant fulcrum]

The syntax is killing me 😭

[tall wharf]

lua moment

[red flower]

SMODS.Challenge({
     -- the rest of the stuff
     deck = {
          yes_suits = {...}
     }
})

[placid frigate]

and if I wanted to use the hearts suits where would I find the value for that

[red flower]

i think its S C H D

[lavish lake]

Anybody? I really want some help over here. I'm wondering why my new consumable type is crashing the game when I enter the collection

[red flower]

so H

[placid frigate]

thank you

ok so just H didn't work

[red flower]

can you send a screenshot of what is in engine/ui.lua:698

in the dump folder

also update your smods

[red flower]

try ['H'] = true

or just H = true idk why i put the brackets

both work

[placid frigate]

would it be deck = { deck.yes.suits = 'H = {...} } })

[red flower]

no

[red flower]

this but put H = true where the ellipsis are

[lavish lake]

I have the latest version of steamodded...

 prep_draw(self, 0.97)

[red flower]

latest is 304, if you're a dev I recommend updating from source if you run into any problems

also i said screenshot because i need a bit more context lol

[placid frigate]

after changing it it gave me an error

[lavish lake]

The ui.lua file is not in my mod

[red flower]

that's a syntax error

[placid frigate]

yep I forgot the comma

[red flower]

i know, I need to know where the problem is so I can know if i can help

the color codes need to be like this HEX('CCCCCC')

[placid frigate]

ok it's working now thank you

[lavish lake]

New code:

SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = "chemical",
    primary_colour = HEX('CCCCCC'),
    secondary_colour = HEX('ADADAD'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Chemical",
        collection = "Chemical Cards",
        undiscovered = {
            name = "Undiscovered",
            text = {
                "You haven't discovered this Chemical yet!"
            }
        }
    }
}

[tall wharf]

try checking atlas

also balala reference?

[lavish lake]

Screw it, i'm sending the entire mod folder for you to check

i don't want to sound ungratefull but is there a way to add more card to a deck for a challenge, like 52 heart cards (4 aces of hearts, 4 kings of hearts, etc...)

[tall wharf]

can't check dawg I'm on phone

[lavish lake]

Who's not on phone

[red flower]

you need a 2x asset

[placid frigate]

i'm not but i'm not great at looking at the code ( i am having trouble myself)

[red flower]

never did this so I'm not sure but you might need to use deck.cards instead of yes_suits

[lavish lake]

Ok i added one

[placid frigate]

if I used card.deck would I need to put them in indivudally (s_H r_k)

or how ever you do it

[lavish lake]

It works now thx

[wintry swallow]

hypothetically how difficult would it be to make a mod altering the name of a single basegame joker? i’m assuming pretty simple

[placid frigate]

like re-making it but changing the name?

[wintry swallow]

nope, keeping the joker the same but changing the name

my friends & i desperately want to rename Cavendish into Jokerpoker Banana

[red flower]

yeah like

cards = {
    {s='H', r='Q'},
{s='H', r='2'}, --etc
}

[placid frigate]

for every card in a deck? also thank you for getting the values where di you find them

[red flower]

yes

[runic pecan]

What is the main difference between setting_blind and first_hand_drawn?

[red flower]

the wiki

[placid frigate]

I'm not too sure how one would do this sorry

[wintry swallow]

all good!

[runic pecan]

You can try to patch this one.

[wintry swallow]

yeah that probably works. thank you!

[red flower]

can you patch localization files?

[manic rune]

doesn't that one mod which balatro university uses changes the names of vanilla jokers

[lyric wadi]

hello code question

how do i get the combined rank/base chip of all scored card of a hand

like e.g. if you play a 7 7 7 9 9 full house i want to be able to get the value 39

or a K Q J 10 9 straight i'd get the number 49 (if chip) / 55 (if rank)

[placid frigate]

ok so I typed out all the cards so now there are 4 sets of hearts suit (4 aces of hearts, 4 kings of hearts, etc...) but now there are "ghosts cards"

[scarlet spire]

localization files cannot be patched iirc

despite being lua files... lovely doesn't touch them at all, so you can't patch them

[manic rune]

use :get_id() on each card and add them up
