[pseudo cape]

also, I feel like 2 is kinda low for a legendary, what should it increase by?

[strong jacinth]

Anyone?

[sacred lily]

$4

[pseudo cape]

that'll work

[glad osprey]

how would you reccomend i remove every card in my deck and add a single ace of spades

[strong jacinth]

Uhh anyone?

[strong jacinth]

As a joker or as a tarot

Or as a deck

[glad osprey]

a deck

[strong jacinth]

Why

[glad osprey]

the fuck you deck

[strong jacinth]

How would that work? That wouldnt even get you through the first small blihnd

[glad osprey]

shhhhhhhhhh

hush my child

[strong jacinth]

Uhh, idk

why didn't I think of that

[graceful magnet]

every time I've tried to use context.after and context.cardarea == G.play like the docs say, it never works (the print function is there so I can check to see what's not triggering. The print function doesn't appear)

[frosty dock]

that combination only occurs if you're a playing card modifier, like an enhancement

context.after doesn't really need an area check at all

[graceful magnet]

yeah I tried just context.after and still nothing

[sacred lily]

how do i make my custom jokers a specific rarity?

it still seems to be "common."

[frosty dock]

what type of object is this and what is your steamodded version?

[graceful magnet]

Joker and, this one

[neat plover]

stuck again, its still counting for every card discarded instead of only aces

[frosty dock]

normally it's numbers 1-4 for common-legendary, but iirc with smods the strings "Common", "Uncommon" etc. also work

for custom rarities it needs to mod prefix

[pseudo cape]

for some reason, this is triggering like 5 or 6 times at the end of the round, anyone know why it might be doing that?

             -- calculate is where the scoring and effects of the joker are handled. 
         calculate = function(self, card, context)
                 -- context.after takes place after the hand is scored.
                 -- context.blueprint applies if the joker is a blueprint copy.
             if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
                             -- adds the gain variable to the base mult number.
                         card.ability.extra.money = card.ability.extra.money + card.ability.extra.gain
                     return {
                             -- another message, just prints the text.
                         message = "Upgrade!",
                         colour = G.C.CASH,
                             -- needed, can be changed to context.other_card to apply to another card.
                         card = card
                     }
                     
             end
         end,

[frosty dock]

yeah, context.end_of_round is not a unique identifier for a context

[pseudo cape]

what's that mean? (<---- incompetent)

[neat plover]

this is probably the for loop isnt it

[frosty dock]

there are different context that trigger at end of round

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint this triggers exactly once, for example

[pseudo cape]

oooh

[graceful magnet]

what would I want to use for a check after a hand is scored and totaled then?

[frosty dock]

ooh

context.after happens before score is totaled

[pseudo cape]

what would if put if I want it to trigger at the end before the cash out?

[neat plover]

AARRRRGGHH i hate this so much

[frosty dock]

that's what the code i sent does

[pseudo cape]

ah alrighty

I'm testing it now

[frosty dock]

why are you iterating the full hand

[graceful magnet]

okay cool I'll just make the card do the totalling itself lmao

[pseudo cape]

eyy it works!

tysm!

[frosty dock]

context.discard is already called once for each discarded card

you just need to operate on context.other_card

[neat plover]

i want to die then

[frosty dock]

there's also context.final_scoring_step which happens later but can still affect scoring

i guess you could add a context after score is totaled

[neat plover]

if this doesnt do it, i dont know what will

[sacred lily]

thanks

[frosty dock]

replace v with context.other_card

[neat plover]

yeah i was gonna

[graceful magnet]

this is, still not working, incredible

the print shows up at least

[sacred lily]

yeah that didn't exactly work

[graceful magnet]

rarity doesn't go in config

[frosty dock]

that's not what I said, and it's not valid syntax either

[sacred lily]

yeah i misunderstood then

[graceful magnet]

you want your rarity out here

[sacred lily]

ok thanks

[glad osprey]

now to just make a playing card

[graceful magnet]

and SMODS.Rarity = Rare is trying to set it to a variable called Rare, SMODS.Rarity = "Rare" is presumably what would work (I wouldn't know, I just use the number system)

[sacred lily]

yeah i'll go with the numbers

[frosty dock]

SMODS.Rarity is the rarity class, this is not what you're looking for when setting a rarity

you either do rarity = 3 or rarity = "Rare"

[novel violet]

i just installed the latest version of smods and tested my mod -- i think mult cards are borked?

don't believe it's related to my mod, mult cards just don't add mult

i'll disable everything & try again

[graceful magnet]

okay and now this doesn't show the print

[novel violet]

all mods disabled, mult cards still don't add mult unfortunately

i'm guessing it's an smods bug

[tepid crow]

Yes, known smods bug

[novel violet]

ok sick

[tepid crow]

get the dev version instead of release for a fix

[novel violet]

idk why i didn't just get the dev version to begin with that's my bad

[tepid crow]

I think they're waiting for 2 PRs for the next release? not sure

[forest ivy]

any like actual guide on how to start coding ?

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod like ts is useless 😭

[sturdy compass]

Have you taken a look at example mods?

[forest ivy]

welp nope

it's not a guide like i dont even know what to download to code in.

like the notepad wont be good for coding

💔

[sacred lily]

vs code works fine for me (windows)

[novel violet]

okay, that's not exactly the fault of the steamodded docs

[forest ivy]

that's kinda their fault they didnt mention everything 💔

[sturdy compass]

Bro

[forest ivy]

i mean they are kinda right i can code in the notepad

[novel violet]

easiest block of my life

[tall wharf]

@novel violet omg yme

[graceful magnet]

stupid solutions work

[forest ivy]

i mean they are making a guide for newbies who might not even know what programming is

[novel violet]

omg aikoyori :3

[forest ivy]

aikoyori is kinda tryharding at his mod

[sturdy compass]

You should know what programming is if you’re trying to make a mod. If you don’t, you learn

[tall wharf]

who are you to say that i am tryharding

[sturdy compass]

SMODS will not teach you Lua

[forest ivy]

i do, but that's not the problem

[novel violet]

i mean, it sure can teach you lua if you're me

[forest ivy]

they have to add a video or smth that will explain coding for childs

[sturdy compass]

Same here but like

[novel violet]

but you have to actually try instead of complaining that it won't do all the work for you

[forest ivy]

like how it works and smth

[forest ivy]

welp im trying to find if therse anything better than 'look and learn'

[sturdy compass]

That’s because I dug into figuring out the functionality I wanted

[novel violet]

it's entirely bait don't pay it any mind

[tall wharf]

DO YOU HAVE ANY GOALS FOR THIS

[novel violet]

you're doing great aikoyori

[forest ivy]

meh i just see ur jokesr everyday in dev and chat

[tall wharf]

ok what

[tall wharf]

i mean

i post a lot

[forest ivy]

u just did

💔

[sturdy compass]

Ok yeah I’m sick of this

[novel violet]

we're on the same page

[sturdy compass]

Yup

[nocturne garnet]

so called "balanced multiplayer mod" when i give myself 10 blueprints with debugplus (the enemy would never see it coming)

[sturdy compass]

Anyways how’s your mod going Yme? I haven’t seen much from ya lately lol

[novel violet]

I haven't been posting very much because I haven't done much work hahaha

[sturdy compass]

Oop-

[novel violet]

school has been busy and motivation has been hard to find!

[forest ivy]

'who said i'm gonna play fair' ahh

[novel violet]

but i'm working on a new joker right now

[sturdy compass]

Yoooo

[tall wharf]

😭

[frosty dock]

you have like 13k messages here within like 2 months and a half

[tall wharf]

yep.

[sturdy compass]

They’re passionate about showing off their work and I respect that highkey

[tall wharf]

good point

[novel violet]

i think aiko likes balatro a little bit

[forest ivy]

i mean

[frosty dock]

fair

i have more messages than most of you but I've been here for over a year

[tall wharf]

ok i think i am happy with two of these

[tepid crow]

wtf lmao

[novel violet]

new joker finished, now i just need to add texture

[sturdy compass]

Huuuuuge

[forest ivy]

they look kinda peak

[sturdy compass]

What does it do?

[forest ivy]

bro didnt even change the "JokerTemplate.png" 💔

[tall wharf]

u can't see shit

[frosty dock]

🔥

[novel violet]

+$1 at end of round for every voucher owned; additionally, 1 in (vouchers owned * 2) chance to add an extra voucher to the shop

if no vouchers, 1 in 1 chance

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/burning-elf-elf-light-fire-looking-into-light-gif-21174314

[spring lantern]

is this an edition i see

[sturdy compass]

Ooooooooo I actually really like that. I haven’t thought of playing around voucher count

[spring lantern]

flashbang edition

[forest ivy]

1 in (vouchers owner * 2) is crazy

[sturdy compass]

The only voucher-related joker I have is Dark Room which is basically the invisible joker of vouchers lol

[spring lantern]

guaranteed 2 vouchers in shop when you have no vouchers would be huge to get a run online

[novel violet]

fo sho

[errant fulcrum]

I've got a baseball card type joker, but it's triggering after each joker triggers their effects, instead of all in a row at the end. What context do I add for that? final_scoring_step?

[spring lantern]

i mean baseball card triggers its effect after each joker's effects too

[errant fulcrum]

It does??

[sturdy compass]

Yep

[spring lantern]

but if you don't want that then i guess you can do final_scoring_step?

[errant fulcrum]

Oh, well its working fine then

[sturdy compass]

Lmfao

[spring lantern]

yeah if you have spare trousers and a different uncommon before it the flat mult is applied after one x1.5 hit

so order actually matters

[tall wharf]

i guess it's better

?

[spring lantern]

at least i can tell what joker it is :L

[zealous glen]

Golden shader?

[tall wharf]

😭

[spring lantern]

would love to know how doing shaders for editions works but shaders in general are fuckin scary man

[spring lantern]

oh damn thats sick

[modern kindle]

What happens if I consume one

[sturdy compass]

Vagabond looks like

[forest ivy]

poor bro

[tall wharf]

i just call the edition noire

[sturdy compass]

The humble unaffected Hologram

[spring lantern]

like bro wtf does any of this mean 😭

[tall wharf]

copied 90% from thunk

[sturdy compass]

Yeah shader work scares me

[tall wharf]

professional jokers

[spring lantern]

so like what i can gather from that one i posted is it does chromatic aberration

[novel violet]

I'm terrified!

[tall wharf]

poor ai

[spring lantern]

dude these look terrifying

creepypasta edition

[tall wharf]

😭

[novel violet]

show that photograph joker to someone in 2009 and they'd make an entire urban legend out of it

[tall wharf]

welp i am

[spring lantern]

smile.jpg

[zealous glen]

Interesting

[sacred lily]

is there a way to make it so when i play a specific hand, a card permanantly gets more mult

[zealous glen]

I read a bit about metallic shaders but it seemed too complicated for what I wanted @_@

[spring lantern]

anyway time to once again throw hands at this mfer jimbo switch wish me luck 😭

[zealous glen]

Like Balatro doesn't have a 3D world to reflect off the Joker

[tall wharf]

let's try cryptid edition deck

[turbid maple]

evil jimbo

[spring lantern]

this code has been the root of all my woes for the past month or so

[tall wharf]

GOD

[spring lantern]

christ

[zealous glen]

ohhh

Really curious how you made the metallic shader

[tall wharf]

fuck

??????????

@frosty dock is xmult < 1 not supposed to work

[sacred lily]

or even is there a way for a joker to tell what cards have been played

[frosty dock]

no, i think the x_mult config value for editions is just broken in general

[spring lantern]

why tf does copy_joker return nil 😭 am i doing somethng wrong

[tall wharf]

😭

[frosty dock]

it uses a x_mult_mod that smods doesn't recognize

inconsistencies yay

[spring lantern]

[turbid maple]

the last time I fucked up and gave my joker negative xmult the game happily gave me negative score

[spring lantern]

jokers are different

they don care about the number

[frosty dock]

worse yet I can't just simply fix that, it would cause polychrome to give xmult twice

[spring lantern]

bro 😭

[zealous glen]

huh?

[spring lantern]

double

[zealous glen]

Why would they give it twice?

[frosty dock]

because smods gives polychrome a calculate function

[spring lantern]

patch polychrome edition and change its config

[modern kindle]

thats why you make it give you negative TWICE to give you a net positive 😎

[turbid maple]

real

[spring lantern]

unrelated but i am completely stumped with this mf i think im straight up gonna send the whole code and beg for help

[frosty dock]

i recommend just using a calculate function anyway, the timing would for xmult without jankass code that doesn't work with the fundamentals of better calc

[wintry solar]

yeah I was wondering the other day if we just remove the functionality of the config values auto applying

[spring lantern]

would probably make things easier to work with

unless someone wants to patch the vanilla editions for... whatever reason

[frosty dock]

I think I'm gonna send a new smods release rn, I've seen enough reports about mult cards

[wintry solar]

pls

[frosty dock]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0305c

[spring lantern]

gg

[frosty dock]

still need to come up with a release workflow, but this works for now

[spring lantern]

meanwhile

[sacred lily]

i;ve noticed that whenever a base game card adds mult it says "+4 mult" or whatever

whereas mine only say "+4"

how do i change this

[forest ivy]

how do people get these hints

🤔

[wintry solar]

show your code

[wintry solar]

change it all to just xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult

[spring lantern]

i think i need a break

[sacred lily]

by all of it do you mean everything after "return{"?

[wintry solar]

yes

[sacred lily]

ok thanks

[spring lantern]

or be a chad like me and do it the old fashioned way

[wintry solar]

don't be a chad

make your life easier

[spring lantern]

(listen to eremel not me)

[turbid maple]

balatro analogue horror

[sacred lily]

ok

[strong jacinth]

So uhh. This happens. No crash.

Please note that i added frames = 21 in the atlas.

[iron iron]

what kind of boss is that 😭

[pale monolith]

guys, I'm thinking about creating a balatro mod, I have no idea where to start, but on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult is it to learn how to make a mod? How long can it take to learn?

ive made a few poker hands now, but for some odd reason its only scoring 3 of the cards while still returning the correct hand, am i just being stupid or am i missing something?

[iron iron]

well ig thats one way to make chicot stronger

[strong jacinth]

The torturing one.

[turbid maple]

how familiar are you with lua/coding in general

its not that bad if youre already capable of that

[frosty dock]

what is that supposed to mean and where even is that

[forest ivy]

maan

[spring lantern]

wait is calculate_joker(context) how you do copy effects or is there a new fancy way i aint heard of

[strong jacinth]

Its on the collection.

And there is no sprite.

[spring lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/sprite-caffeine-free-gif-12865938

[pale monolith]

I know basic programming logic, but I've never used Lua

[frosty dock]

huh, might be that the undiscovered sprite logic is wrong? looks like it's using your atlas for the undiscovered blind when it shouldn't

[turbid maple]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki
consult the SMODS wiki it will answer most things you'll ask

obligatory cat image

[spring lantern]

kimty

honestly i need this cat i am losing grip of reality

[strong jacinth]

Any idea how to fix it?

[frosty dock]

i can try to investigate

[strong jacinth]

And is my code wrong, or like thats often why its dissapearing

[frosty dock]

for now can you check if it displays normally when it's discovered?

[pale monolith]

I'll take a look thx

[wintry solar]

what do you mean by copy effects?

[strong jacinth]

It is discovered. The blind is discovered but no sprite...

[spring lantern]

as in blueprint/brainstorm type effects

[frosty dock]

oh i just realized

your px and py are 0

[stable agate]

would

        return true
    end,```

in a legendary joker allow that joker to spawn in the shop

[turbid maple]

follow along the Your First Mod section with the linked lua tutorials and example mods to look at

[sacred lily]

do you guys know i can permenantly add mult to a Joker after a specific hand is played?

[frosty dock]

how did i not see that

💀

[strong jacinth]

Shouldnt it be that? First column and row

[tepid crow]

like runner?

[sacred lily]

yeah

[wintry solar]

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

[frosty dock]

no, the px and py in the atlas

that's the size of one sprite

[spring lantern]

what the hell is this sorcery

[frosty dock]

not the sprite position

[spring lantern]

is this documented or

[tepid crow]

check out https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua#L89

[sacred lily]

thanks

[wintry solar]

https://tenor.com/view/wizard-im-a-wizard-im-a-fucking-wizard-gif-442467576112531692

it's not documented yet no

[tepid crow]

are you gonna keep using that gif every time eremel

[wintry solar]

I've had a busy few days

[turbid maple]

the hell does blueprint_effect do now

[wintry solar]

it's a good gif!

[spring lantern]

no but fr this is huge

[plush cove]

eremel this would be a banger pfp

[strong jacinth]

I am stupid.

[frosty dock]

for blind chips it's normally 34x34

of course if you set the size to 0px, there will be no sprite

[strong jacinth]

Yeah, I thought it was position...

[strong jacinth]

I think that is my blind size.

[frosty dock]

YOU ARE MY FUCKING HERO

THANK YOU

blessed be thou

wait

i tried to sell jimbo while i was bping it and the game died

[tall wharf]

time to make a move

😭

[spring lantern]

okay so selling a joker when loading a saved run crashes the game if that joker is being targetted by my blueprint joker

uhm

interesting

wait i think i fixed it

[small finch]

uh scuse me

where get mods

[scarlet spire]

very nice to see that variable text highlight color has been added, huge respect to the smods devs for the constant support and updates

After you defeat 2 Blinds, sell this Joker to create 2 Negative Tags

[spring lantern]

i would use the same terminology as invis tho

'after 2 rounds'

[stable agate]

Do legendary jokers need their weight adjusted when you add them to the shop my wrist is getting tired from all these rerolls ;;

[spring lantern]

no idea, never tried to add a legendary to the shop

[zealous glen]

I see

[modern kindle]

Doesn't adding them to the pool just allow them to be spawned with the soul card? I've never had them appear in the shop

[zealous glen]

I'm wondering where to split lines then

[sacred lily]

yeah idk anymore

i tried to write similar code but it keeps crashing every time

seems to be different errors as well but didn't screenshot them all

[spring lantern]

kinda weird timing with scored card effects... no clue what's going on here

[stable agate]

Shout outs to the one mention of anything close to what I'm doing being from like a year ago with no followups

THE experince ...

[zealous glen]

nice art on the two Jokers

[long sun]

hihi! suffering a little! trying to change the sprite of my Joker once a condition is met, but my current method adds the 2 of Hearts sprite over top, instead of doing what i want it to do

[forest ivy]

man just tried to make a single joker and the game crashes 💔

[long sun]

code:

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'wires',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Wires',
    text = {
      "Solves when idk"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = { } },
  rarity = 2,
  atlas = 'KTaNE',
  cost = 7,
  pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
  solved_pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
  solved = false,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = {  } }
  end,
    blueprint_compat = true,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
      card:set_sprites(self, card.config.card)
    end
  end,
  set_sprites = function(self, card, front)
    if not self.discovered and not card.params.bypass_discovery_center then
      return
    end
    
    if card and card.children and card.children.center and card.children.center.set_sprite_pos and card.ability and card.ability.extra and card.ability.extra.solved_pos and card.ability.extra.unsolved_pos then
      if self.atlas then
        card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS[self.atlas]
      end
      if solved then
        card.children.center:set_sprite_pos(self.solved_pos)
      else
        card.children.center:set_sprite_pos(self.pos)
      end
    end
end
}```

[stable agate]

I'm going to STRANGLE my co developer for making a legendary joker work like fucking micheal

[zealous glen]

oh and the swap is really cool

[long sun]

please help, this has taken several hours of today 😭

[spring lantern]

rly proud how it turned out visually yea :3

[zealous glen]

See the tape in Bunco maybe

or whatever AlrexX is doing

[long sun]

OMG OKAY YEAH HI

you did that

uh

how? ":}}}

[forest ivy]

just a random thought im not even sure in but shouldnt there be a comma

[long sun]

no

[forest ivy]

welp

💔

[spring lantern]

wait was there a context specifically to check for blueprint effects or am i trippin

[long sun]

like it runs, but this is what it does

[spring lantern]

wait whta

[graceful magnet]

Trying to get something to activate when a card is debuffed, but alas it does not

[zealous glen]

yes

[spring lantern]

sweet, the [0/2] i think was fine tho

[tall wharf]

NEW SFX!!

[spring lantern]

what was it called

[spring lantern]

beepeebeepboopoboo

[light gazelle]

hey guys, do you have any tips on how I would reference multiple money values in the text of a joker?

I was trying to make it pay out $5 sometimes and 20 dollars other times, and was able to get it thus using multiplication, but am having trouble making it show up as the card text

if I put money items in the extra field it seems like it defaults to the latter item

[turbid maple]

funky

[long sun]

(bump! @spring lantern sorry to ping you but i saw that you did what i want my Joker to do, and so want to know if you can help 😭)

[tall wharf]

o yea i made the sfx myself

it's funny

[zealous glen]

context.blueprint?

[tall wharf]

might have to tone this down a little bit

[modern kindle]

Erm what the flip

[spring lantern]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[sacred lily]

yeah what even IS this error, i copied over what i needed from the runner joker code to the best of my ability so it should be fine

[scarlet spire]

oooh

[karmic creek]

pew pew

[plush cove]

In your config, add another variable called "bigger_money" and set that to 20

Then, when you're referencing that in loc_text, use #2# instead of #1*4#

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

[zealous glen]

Thanks 🧑‍🚀 🦥

[scarlet spire]

I'm curious, where/how do people find/make fitting custom sfx for balatro?

[spring lantern]

is there a specific reason why you're changing the atlas?

[plush cove]

@light gazelle hope this helps!

[gleaming zealot]

SMODS.sound

[spring lantern]

for me all the sprites are in the same atlas and i just change pos/soul_pos

[light gazelle]

trying it out 🧐

[scarlet spire]

I mean, from a sound design perspective

[light gazelle]

would I have to change the calc dollar function aswell?

[long sun]

i suspected the atlas was wrong, because it was placing a playing card face, but it's probably not that

[plush cove]

yeah

[scarlet spire]

I know how to implement custom sounds, I'm just curious how people approach finding sounds for their mod

[long sun]

oh wait you can just change pos?

whaa??

trying that

[turbid maple]

send your calculate function?

[sacred lily]

ok

[turbid maple]

or the entire joker to be more general

[spring lantern]

maybe also try saving solved_pos in config.extra

[plush cove]

if bonus > 0 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left > 4 then return card.ability.extra.bigger_money end if bonus > 0 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left > 1 then return card.ability.extra.money end

[spring lantern]

and also the solved variable

[light gazelle]

would I need local bonus = card.ability.extra.bigger_money aswell?

or is the fact that extra money and the money variable have the same name mostly just a coincidence

[long sun]

okie ^^

[earnest oracle]

you can just fuck around in a DAW until you get the sound you want, that's how i usually do it at least

[long sun]

thanks! trying

[plush cove]

not if you're referencing card.ability.extra directly

[sacred lily]

i know it's looking for a straight and not three 7s but i haven't figured that out yet

[light gazelle]

oh ok

so it's not referencing the part of the config

[spring lantern]

alkso sorry i misremembered i do use set_sprite_pos

[long sun]

ah kay

[turbid maple]

your config is wrong
all those variables belong in the extra tablr

[scarlet spire]

thanks! somehow didn't think to use a daw here, which is odd because i've definitely used fl for sound design before

[turbid maple]

you accidentally put the other ones in a separate table

[sacred lily]

thanks

[sacred lily]

so do i move cost and rarity into "extra"?

[earnest oracle]

it's fun! modding this game for me is like another creative outlet

[turbid maple]

yes
generally speaking if you want your jokers to hold variables you put it inside the extra table

[sacred lily]

ok thanks

[long sun]

holyyyyyyyy that mostly works!!

though reloading the save undoes that

[spring lantern]

ohh, yeah

[sacred lily]

is it just atlas and pos to leave out of it

[spring lantern]

you need a set_sprites function

then in t5here you check if its already solved and set the sprite if so

basically same check

[sacred lily]

now it's doing... this

in the game

[spring lantern]

set_sprites runs when the card loads in

[long sun]

oh okayokay!!

[spring lantern]

this is how i used it

[long sun]

thanks!!

[turbid maple]

uhh I mean variables as in like things the joker should keep track of in a gameplag sense

[spring lantern]

also keep in mind that when you see your card in the collection it has no ability table (or at least it kept giving me errors thats why i check for it in my code)

[turbid maple]

you need to fix your loc_txt (this is the text template for the tooltip) and loc_vars (this is a function that rrturns what variables should be inserted into the tooltip template)

[long sun]

okie!

thanks :D ✨

[unkempt thicket]

How can I check if I'm selling a specific set (joker, tarot, planet, ect)?

[light gazelle]

thank you for all of the help! it looks to work as intended

thanks for the assistance

[spring lantern]

if card.ability.set = 'WhateverSetYouWant'

or was it card.config.center.set i forgor

i think its ability

[sacred lily]

great, now the whole thing's just fucking ruined itself

[turbid maple]

do you need an explanation on how the tooltip text works

[sacred lily]

maybe? idkk

this is what i tried doing and now the game just crashes

[turbid maple]

well yeah uh you kinda fucked up the syntax

[spring lantern]

extra = {mult = 7, chips = 7, chip_gain = 7}

[turbid maple]

you make a table by wrapping things in brackets

a config should br a table that contains another table called extra

so you write

config = {
  extra = { mult = 7, chips = 7, chip_gain = 7 }
}```

it might be less frustrating if you take a brief look at a lua tutorial first

[spring lantern]

the reason why there's a table called extra inside a table called config is

[turbid maple]

what else goes into config anyway

is this some arcane balatro internal stuff

[spring lantern]

i think base game uses it for mult chips and other hardcoded things

and extra is used sometimes as a single value

it's really confusing

like some jokers will just have extra = 5

and im like wut

[turbid maple]

🤔

[wintry swallow]

trying to work on a localization mod (renaming a bunch of things) and texture pack mod at the same time- which of these might be causing this?

i keep tryin to figure it out but i am having zero luck

[pseudo cape]

do you have a joker that uses an atlas that's not in your files?

[wintry swallow]

i haven't added any new jokers which is why i'm confused

[pseudo cape]

did you write all the code yourself or did you use some prewritten stuff?

[sacred lily]

yeah that didn't change anything

[wintry swallow]

for the localization mod i used the Balatro University localization, replaced the language lua file with the en-us one, and modified it myself, and i am currently going through and editing the other files to match what i need from it

[pseudo cape]

one of the files might have some sort of joker

mebe to replace a texture with a localized one?

[wintry swallow]

yeah i am digging through trying to see whats going on

[turbid maple]

missing a comma

[wintry swallow]

okay so i confirmed by removing one of the two mods, that it's the texture mod causing this

[turbid maple]

this giant Joker thing is in fact, also a table

[crystal perch]

don't mean to interrupt but are there any steamodded methods to handle how the backs of jokers with abnormal ratios, such as square jokers
i can do it with lovely injections but i'd have to patch like three separate places so i'd figured i'd ask if this has been done before
yes i checked the wiki and i couldn't find anything on it specifically

[turbid maple]

you need commas to separate table values

[sacred lily]

i swear it's always the smallest of things i get tripped up by

[wintry swallow]

oh my god im stupid

i forgot to put the jokers.png back in the files

problem solved

[sacred lily]

..should it still be doing this?

[pseudo cape]

also do yall know how to make a joker remove a certain amount of chips from a played hand when triggered? I dunno what I should be doing to get it working

[turbid maple]

again double check your loctxt and locvar thingies

[pseudo cape]

current code snippet:

         calculate = function(self, card, context)
                 -- context.joker_main takes place when the joker is meant to score.
             if context.joker_main then
                 return {
                         -- adds the number contained in the mult variable to the score.
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                chips_mod = - card.ability.extra.chips,
                         -- message is the text that appears when the joker scores.
                         -- localize is used to make sure the text works across multiple languages.
                     message  = localize {
                         type = 'variable',
                         key = 'a_xmult',
                         vars = {
                             card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                         }
                     }
                 }
             end
         end

[turbid maple]

#1# is a placeholder that means replace it with the first value of the vars table returned from loc_var

#2# replaces it with the second and so on

[sacred lily]

ah that's it

[earnest oracle]

maybe you can use this? G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.chips

[pseudo cape]

lemme try it

[sacred lily]

replaced the 1 for some reason early on, idk why

[earnest oracle]

do I need to set up a hook/patch to get the use button to show up on a Joker when it's highlighted?

[pseudo cape]

no luck, does the same thing

[sacred lily]

i know how to check for a three of a kind, but is there a way to make sure it's one made of 7's?

[earnest oracle]

add context.other_card:get_id() == 7

[wintry swallow]

having a big issue with my localization mod- i'm not having any errors showing up in the lovely log thing, the language shows up and is selectable, but selecting it does not actually change any of the names in-game

anyone got any clue what might be causing this?

[sacred lily]

so if i use this with "(context.poker_hands['ThreeOfAKind'])" it'll only activate if it's 3 sevens?

[turbid maple]

mm no you need to understand how contexts work

[sacred lily]

ok

[turbid maple]

the gist is whenever a Joker is asked to calculate something the game will provide a context table that specifies the relevant state

right now your Hiker clone is checking for context.before and (..)

if you refer to the wiki this is the state where jokers are looking at the hand before scoring anything

at this stage context.other_card does not exist (this exists for other contexts where jokers are evaluating each card individually as they are scored)

now judging from your text this doesn't even need to check for a three of a kind it just checks whether you played three 7s? (exactly? or should it trigger if i play a four of a kind of 7s? maybe a full house of 7s and 9s? what do you want)

[sacred lily]

i'm trying to find the page i got the "context.before and.." from for research

[sacred lily]

basically just "does the hand have three or more 7 cards in it"?

[turbid maple]

in the wiki contexts are listed under the Calculate Functions section

[turbid maple]

then really no need to explicitly check for a three of a kind

if you look under the relevant section it tells you that in this context the game will provide a full_hand contect

its a list of all the cards that have been played

so what you'd do is go through this list, and check whether it is a 7 (use the get_id function) and count if it contains at least three 7s

[sacred lily]

should i also change this from "context.before and.." to a different part of scoring?

[turbid maple]

for reference full_hand is all the cards that were played and scoring_hand is the cards thay are actually scored

[turbid maple]

why?

do you have a need to have it trigger in a different step that's not before scoring

[sacred lily]

no

[turbid maple]

then the before thing is fine

[sacred lily]

k

[wintry swallow]

unfortunately im still not finding whats going on here, ugh

[sacred lily]

which section is this/

[turbid maple]

ctrl f for context.before

[sacred lily]

ok

[light gazelle]

do you guys have any tips on how I would go about coding a check on whether a played poker hand contains certain ranks?

I'm having a bit of difficulty finding a good example to learn from in the documentation

[turbid maple]

look at the example mods

theres a reimplementation of Hiker

I mean

uhh

Runner

[light gazelle]

yeah

what I wasn't getting from that was how to check for specific ranks however

[pale monolith]

what file do I have to create to write the mod metadata?

[frosty dock]

local sevens = 0
for _,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) -- or context.scoring_hand if you don't want to count unscored cards
  if v:get_id() == 7 then sevens = sevens + 1 end
end
if sevens >= 3 then
  -- effect
end

all inside an appropriate context check of course

[light gazelle]

.lua file I think

[frosty dock]

that's for the old file header method

[plush cove]

i made an aux function for this purpose

[frosty dock]

new metadata lives in a .json file

[turbid maple]

oh sorry you said ranks I misread that lol

[frosty dock]

why would you need anything before the braces

this is a template for the entire contents of a metadata file

[turbid maple]

yeah mb misread what you said
refer to what the john dude just posted

[frosty dock]

you have this as a json file in your mod subfolder, and then a lua file next to it that you specify as the main file

[light gazelle]

cool cool

what if I wanted to check for multiple different ranks?

like at least 1 ace, at least 1 king, etc.

[sacred lily]

i hate the unexpected symbol errors

what is the "unexpected symbol"

most of the time it's literally nothing

[frosty dock]

it's a syntax error

get a lua extension for your code editor and it'll point them out as they happen

[sacred lily]

ok

[turbid maple]

you'd set up different variables for each rank you want and check all of them at the end

[light gazelle]

so is this sufficent code to perform the effect?

would I need anything else to activate it or will this now trigger whenever the player plays a hand containing that stuff?

I guess I can go check rq

[wintry swallow]

what kind of things might be stopping my localization from working in-game? it loads up, is visible and good in the Mods tab, shows up and is selectable in the Language section, but when i select it, none of the changed names & words actually change, and there aren't even any errors of any kind

could this be coming from messed-up syntax, or is it smth else

[frosty dock]

assuming an appropriate context check and disregarding that you're setting the edition incorrectly, yes

[scarlet spire]

so, a while back I added a joker that gives you random tags, but if it ever creates orbital tag, it tries to upgrade a nil poker hand (I assume) and crashes the game, because it never sets the hand correctly
how would I get this to set properly?

[light gazelle]

ah I didn't have a context check

[frosty dock]

(for the edition, edition = 'e_negative' gives you a negative card)

card.edition.negative is just true if the joker is negative and doesn't exist otherwise

[wispy elk]

Good Evening friendos, I got my deck skin sorta' working but it's only working for the spades

https://github.com/unkwntech/indomitablemod/blob/chili/src/indomitable.lua

[turbid maple]

it took me embarassingly long but I just realized you're aurelius on github
my brain just saw your name as john smods

[sacred lily]

yeah i probably should've started with simpler jokers as i'm very new to this

[light gazelle]

this isn't enough code, right?

[graceful magnet]

trying to have something save the played hand and then increment a counter each time that same hand is played, it is, not doing that though

[frosty dock]

well

[turbid maple]

well yeah I gloss overed that part

[frosty dock]

yes

[turbid maple]

wjats the current state of multirank cards

btw

[frosty dock]

the current state of multirank cards is

https://tenor.com/view/cat-no-nonono-noooo-cat-no-gif-13597132752790194338

[turbid maple]

i saw you mention trying to adapt the current algorithm

(i was the guy in that github issue if you dont rember)

[frosty dock]

i do

[old bane]

multirank cards when a straight walks in:

[frosty dock]

yeah that's the main concern

[turbid maple]

multirank cards are blocked by the lgbt agenda

[old bane]

wouldnt it be a homophobic agenda because its blocked by straights?

[frosty dock]

other than that it'd still be a lot of code changes and break basically every mod that touches ranks at all, but the rest shouldn't be particularly hard to implement

[old bane]

im sure its not as simple as a flush check where its either the suit or a wild card

like youd have to be like “okay how does this multirank card fit into the straight”

[frosty dock]

even with the current state of arbitrary branching of ranks, we've had a faulty straights algorithm until recently

[hushed field]

what's generally the cause of a hard crash? I'm crashing out without a log

[forest ivy]

modding is so hard

not a single guide on yt-

is like impossible

to work with

[turbid maple]

problem is trying to support arbitrary multi ranks + branching paths in the rank structure is a pain in the ass to handle generally so that it also doesn't try to mine crypto with large hand+rank+straight+whatever sizes

[frosty dock]

obviously there's the naïve approach of evaluating every possible combination of rank representations, but it's extremely inefficient as soon as you have multiple multirank cards

it's apparent that that's not good enough for our cause

[old bane]

true

[merry sequoia]

What mod is this???

[old bane]

when i was making my mod i had a card that makes straights and i legit just had to be like “okay we are just going to focus on making descending straights unless you literally cannot”

because otherwise trying to make the best straight out of every possible combo would be rough

[pseudo cape]

abomination

[spring lantern]

thoughts on the art?

[spring lantern]

holy peak

[pseudo cape]

oooh that looks really good!

[wintry swallow]

oughhh this is agony

[frosty dock]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-wheelchair-my-honest-reaction-gif-26977569

[gleaming zealot]

Fire

[frosty dock]

i feel like it could be common ngl

[pseudo cape]

the monch?

x3 mult is a lot of mult, even with -80 chips

[spring lantern]

if you have a chip generator then it works but like

[light gazelle]

could be an uncommon perhaps

[gleaming zealot]

x3 mult is a whole The Trio

[frosty dock]

X3 is pretty standard for uncommons with a lighter drawback/condition

[pseudo cape]

true

or cavendish (my beloved)

[light gazelle]

we get x3 mult on a few uncommons with relatively meet-able conditions

[spring lantern]

i imagine you can end up with 0 chips if you dont have any chip generation

[turbid maple]

tried juggling with the idea of mapping the hand into multiple (card ID, rank) vertices with appropriate edges for mapping successors (and grandchildren for shortcut) but that's really fucking dense of a graph and this devolves into some variant of the longest path problem which blows up pretty fast

[frosty dock]

-80 chips is a huge liability to work around

[pseudo cape]

thought x2 was

[light gazelle]

card sharp and blackboard are both x3

[wispy elk]

Anyone have any thoughts about why my deck skin is only applying to spades?

[pseudo cape]

is blackboard uncommon?

[scarlet spire]

still not entirely sure what to do with this, even after attempting to look into the game code

[spring lantern]

maybe -50 chips is more reasonable

[gleaming zealot]

is blackboard black

[spring lantern]

no it's green

[gleaming zealot]

oh

[spring lantern]

[light gazelle]

is there documentation anywhere for an example of a joker that makes another joker when a hand is played, but before it scores?

[pseudo cape]

true, but it's pretty easy to have 50 chips in a hand, 80 chips without planets could take a decent chunk out of most hands

[spring lantern]

my main concern is ending up with 0 chips therefore 0 score

[pseudo cape]

I wonder what happens if it makes your chips negative actually

need to test that now

[turbid maple]

context.before is triggered before scoring

[frosty dock]

take the exact balance aside, I'm not sure it fits the premise of a rare of being situationally very powerful

[spring lantern]

yeah it seems like more of an uncommon maybe?

[pseudo cape]

about what I was expecting yea

[spring lantern]

LOL

yeah might wanna make sure you don't go negative

[frosty dock]

most builds don't rely on building big chips

[turbid maple]

as for creating a Joker, try looking into the Utility Functions(?) section of the wiki and there's documentation for a function that creates cards

[light gazelle]

ah I think my issue is that I need to learn more about coding in lua period lol

[turbid maple]

well yeah thats a blocker if you want to write a mod in lua

[spring lantern]

unless you wanna grow your wee you're not gonna be making too many chips, so -50 chips is already a pretty big debuff unless you're like late game

[gleaming zealot]

i think it synergizes very well with plasma deck

[light gazelle]

i've mostly been modifying the example smods jokers so far

[wintry swallow]

-# sorry to keep interrupting but any of y'all that might know how to help with localization mods, please dm me because i don't wanna keep butting into pre-existing conversations

[pseudo cape]

also yippie joker is a bit op

[turbid maple]

yeah sorry not familiar with editing things already in the game

[spring lantern]

take your average level 1 flush, about 75 chips. even if you have flat mult jokers you still lose a huge chunk of your score with -50, and with -80 you straight up score nothing

[plush cove]

I really hope that it plays the Yippee sound whenever it activates

[gleaming zealot]

when o i i a e u cat joker

[pseudo cape]

truee

[frosty dock]

can't

[pseudo cape]

what should it do?

[wispy elk]

My joker was similar only it started with 0x and added +x0.5 when you discarded your most played hand.

[pseudo cape]

huh, that's kinda neat

I can't really add half a mult tho (I really don't want to)

[gleaming zealot]

When xMult is triggered, 1 in 3 chance to retrigger it

[wispy elk]

I love the idea of starting with x0 but I found that adding x0.5 was too strong, so I had to set it to start at x0.7 and increment by x0.15

[turbid maple]

I just wanted to mod Balatro and multiranks cards are mindblocking me with some bullshit competitive programming problem

[pseudo cape]

gonna forward this to my random stuff server so I don't forget

[wispy elk]

I might rewrite it up so that it stays at x0 until 2 are discarded then increments at x0.15

[plush cove]

dropped a pull request yesterday, just waiting for approval 👍

[spring lantern]

i should add lucky legends actually

bleh will do tomorrow i gotta slep

[green mica]

Anyone know how adding hand size works? I'm trying to make a seal that gives +1 hand size but since a lot of the documentation is regarding triggers during calculation and such I'm struggling to find how to do sort of passive effects like this

[spring lantern]

that would be G.hand:change_size(1) when you draw it and G.hand:change_size(-1) when it leaves your hand

i think

[green mica]

Ohh hmm okay

[old bane]

how do i make a slider option for my config gui? like a volume slider but with different mins and maxes

[chrome widget]

What value on stone cards represents their base rank of none/zero? their base.nominal value is still whatever the underlying card is for the purposes of sorting, and the "id" of stone cards seems to be a random sub-zero value which I assume has to do with the node IDs

Basically, I'm making Fibonacci hands, and since 0 is part of the fibonacci sequence, I want stone cards to count as 0 for those purposes, but for the sake of compatibility with any other mods that might have an enhancement that functionally has no rank/no base chips, I'm looking for a more universal solution

[turbid maple]

Is has_no_rank something you're looking for

[chrome widget]

YEP

nice

[turbid maple]

src/utils.lua is a treasure trove

[chrome widget]

fundamentally it's .no_rank on the center itself

[scarlet spire]

still having this issue, still can't figure out what to do about this

maybe I'll just have to exclude orbital tags, which I don't want to do

[unkempt thicket]

How can i access the hand type from a planet card?

[old bane]

i think it's card.config.hand_type?

[modern kindle]

I'm not super familiar with it, but I assume it just pulled the orbital tag usually from the list of hands so can't you just set the orbital tag yourself to select a random one from the list?

[scarlet spire]

add_tag has no arguments and doesn't return the tag, as far as I can tell

so I'm not sure how to actually do anything to the tag once it's added or set anything on it

[unkempt thicket]

That didn't work, i'm trying to access it like this G.GAME.hands[context.card.config.hand_type].level but its returning nil.

[scarlet spire]

is this under context.using_consumeable?

if so, it's context.consumeable.ability.hand_type

[unkempt thicket]

No, its under context.card.ability.set == "Planet" and context.selling_card. But let me try that.

[old bane]

how do i disable a specific rarity showing up in the shop with a config option? I know Cryptid does it with ContentSets but i don't see any documentation on that in the wiki

I'd also like to do this for ConsumableSets and Stickers

[scarlet spire]

ah, when selling it

[frosty dock]

fundamentally in vanilla, it's just hardcoded

[scarlet spire]

then it'd be context.card.ability.hand_type, I believe

[chrome widget]

who up fibbing they nacci

I'll have to make planets for these ones

[manic rune]

fibonacci

[chrome widget]

Arguing whether to call it "Flush Fibonacci" in full or "Flush Fib"

[plush cove]

Flush Fib is fun

[spring lantern]

i love flush fib

alternatively fibonacci and fibonasty

[chrome widget]

FIBONASTY

lmao

I'll go with Flush Fib I think

[plush cove]

rizzonacci

[frosty dock]

fibbin' archie

[plush cove]

the fib I bring to the nacci

[spring lantern]

if i could get modded balatro on my phone i think i would officially lose all of my productivity

[turbid maple]

Flushbonacci

[chrome widget]

For the JoJo flavor, I could call it Golden Spin lmao

[graceful magnet]

The 60 are DONE, I am freeeeeeeeee from my prison!
https://github.com/AstrumNativus/AzzysJokers/releases/tag/v1.2

[scarlet spire]

surely someone else has dealt with tags before, right? I can't figure out any kind of solution to this

every other tag in the game works perfectly fine, but orbital tags always break when created

[graceful magnet]

Oh! I actually was given something to combat this! Lemme dig it out

add_tag(Tag(selectedTag, 'Small'))

just assign a Blind to it

[scarlet spire]

oh thank you so much i've been trying to figure this out for so long

[quartz ravine]

Oh yeah, I have now contributed to Steammodded

Well I mean like a sentence in the wiki

[frosty dock]

every bit counts haha

[unkempt thicket]

Is there a context for payout?

[raw geyser]

how do I target smods with lovely? Trying to add "your own CardAreas for playing card evaluation"

[frosty dock]

target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'

[raw geyser]

Ah, fancy

[scarlet spire]

that's odd, it's still doing it?

[raw geyser]

Thank you mr smods

[frosty dock]

same for targetting files from other mods btw, just replace _ with the mod ID and the path between double quotes

[unkempt thicket]

lovely patching cryptid

[scarlet spire]

full calculate function

[quartz ravine]

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong trying to render the suit color in my cards description?

It shows up like mult now. When I try to render it like this, as Ancient joker does, it crashes saying unknown global variable 'var's

return {
vars = {
{ localize(card.ability.polarity[1], 'suits_singular'), colours = { G.C.SUITS[card.ability.polarity[1]] } },
{ localize(card.ability.polarity[2], 'suits_singular'), colours = { G.C.SUITS[card.ability.polarity[2]] } }
}
}

[3] = "{C:inactive}(Currently rewarding {V:1}#1#{} and {V:2}#2#{}"

[frosty dock]

that's not how a vars table is supposed to be formatted

but why does it have a background 🤔

[raw geyser]

Error colors?

[frosty dock]

correct is vars = {var1, var2, colours = { colvar1, colvar2 } }

[quartz ravine]

Ohhhh, ok thank you

[frosty dock]

it's possible that I messed something up in adding variable background colors. do let me know if something still behaves weirdly with the correct format

however I'm off to sleep now, so not today

[scarlet spire]

text coloring seems completely functional on castle, which also uses V:, so that's odd
maybe a bizarre side effect of the odd vars table formatting? I don't know why that would ever happen if you're not targeting X: though

so far I haven't come across any issues with variable bg colors

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make a joker not appear in collection or pool?

[green mica]

What context do I use for the card being added to hand?

[raw geyser]

Is there a way to make the message appear on the top side of the joker/card? Instead of the bottom?

[old bane]

how do i change the shop_rate of a ConsumableType with the config or stop the ConsumableType from showing up altogether?

[quartz ravine]

Oh yeah, it works great. Thanks guys!!

@frosty dock

[old bane]

Spade and Club-

[quartz ravine]

Spad and clurb

[modern kindle]

in da clurb, we all fam

[quartz ravine]

Why did you have to point that out to me lol

[old bane]

i wonder if in consumabletype you can declare a function that all consumables of that type will use

🤔

[quartz ravine]

I was poking around the UX code, wondering how I might proc a background color change when a consumable card is used...

[pseudo cape]

how do you make your main lua file have another lua file run? I've been trying to find what do but I'm very lost

[tepid crow]

assert(SMODS.load_file('path/to/file.lua'))(), check out the utility docs

[pseudo cape]

where are those?

wait just the ones in the wiki?

ah yea there's the one, somehow I haven't noticed that till now

[unkempt thicket]

How do i create a joker thats not in the pool?

[distant grove]

Like your own?

[unkempt thicket]

yea

[distant grove]

If I was on pc I would send you the link

But I’m not

Sadly

Sorry

[unkempt thicket]

link of what

[distant grove]

To make a joker

Search up how to make a modded joker on YouTube and you should find a video

That’s a bit outdated

[zealous glen]

There’s a method you can define and make it return false

Check the wiki

[unkempt thicket]

I have a joker made, but i removed it from the pool because i want a different joker to make it. and that being the only method of getting that joker.

[simple mural]

I want to make a mod for a hard challenge.
1 Jokers and 1 Consumables slots.
2 rows of random suits.
Clearance Sale, Magic Trick and Reroll Surplus.
Double the probability for Negative edition and the ability to find consumable cards with this edition in the shop.

Idk how to make the last thing with consumable cards and the negative edition.
The rest is already done.

[unkempt thicket]

i figured this out

[graceful magnet]

I shoulda playtested a bit more thoroughly before releasing, I've got a Joker destroying cards under certain conditions

Exceeeeeept it's not totally destroying them, they're just kind of being turned invisible and that's an issue

[old bane]

use context.destroying_card, that's pretty much the only context you can destroy playing cards in without causing ghost cards

[quartz ravine]

When I am applying a custom edition to a card, which one of these do I use?

        key = "ghostRare",
        loc_txt = {
            name = "Ghost Rare",
            label = "ghostRare",
            text = {
                "{C:chips}+#1#{} Dollars",
                "{C:red}+#2#{} Mult"
            }
        },
        discovered = true,
        unlocked = true,

I tried this in my consumable. I am not sure if I need to use my mod prefix key here

card:set_edition({ghostRare = true}, true)

it made the game crash

[graceful magnet]

right uhhhhhhhhhh how do I integrate that

[scarlet spire]

this is incredibly busted and I don't care

[old bane]

what does your joker do

[graceful magnet]

destroy scored debuffed cards and gain xmult

[old bane]

do something like

  -- increase xmult here
end```

[wintry swallow]

any idea why my localization is doing this? the code in-localization is just
m_bonus={
name="Bonus Card",
text={
"{C:chips}+30{} extra chips"
},
},

[manic rune]

how would i get the chip value of a playing card

[distant grove]

Hi bepis

How’s your day going

[manic rune]

hi :D

its goog

at class rn

[distant grove]

Mine is rainy

Cause it rained

A lot.

On me

Gl on classes

[manic rune]

oh, and uh, chips that hikers give to cards too

[manic rune]

thank

[graceful magnet]

alright sick that seems to work, how would I modify it to fix another Joker?
This one destroys a random card held in hand

[old bane]

context.destroying_card only works for G.play (for some reason) so change it to
context.destroy_card == card.ability.extra.goatCard

[pseudo cape]

anyone know deck stuff? It seems like just barely different enough from jokers to be really annoying for me to figure out

[plush cove]

heya, currently fiddling around trying to make a blind that disables card held-in-hand effects (i.e. steel cards, gold cards, Baron, reserved parking, etc)

what'd be the best way to do this?

[old bane]

um, idk if this'll be helpful but try looking at mime code?

also my config file keeps on setting values to things i deleted from it a long time ago

how do i reset a config file >_<

[red flower]

I think you need to delete the file inside your mods/config folder that stores your config changes (or something like that)

[plush cove]

wasnt that helpful

[old bane]

are you trying to disable the cards as a whole or just the abilities that trigger when held in hand

[plush cove]

just the abilities

[old bane]

it'd probably be tricky to do so since it's not just one context that triggers hand abilities

and i don't know if you can "disable" an entire cardarea either

[turbid maple]

wow uh i fucked up

[old bane]

it didn't help >_< i think it might be the config table itself for my mod that might be f'ed up idk

[old bane]

guessing you destroyed a card in the wrong context and then added a joker in the wrong cardarea

[turbid maple]

I called draw_card on a joker

consequences of iterating over playing cards and calling the variable card

[plush cove]

it's proving to be so far :/

alright I might put the kibosh on this blind idea for now. but if anyone has any ideas of how I can do it, definitely @ me and let me know!

[red flower]

never made a blind but what if you debuff all cards and re enable them inside press_play?

so cards in hand are debuffed

or modify_hand idk which ones is more appropriate

[old bane]

Guys how do i clear a ref_table i keep on getting this the entire time

return {
["things_added"]=false,
["rarities"]={
  ["bc_rarity"]=5,
  ["things_rarity"]=0.1,
  ["thing_rarity"]=0.1,
  ["drained_rarity"]=5,
},
["bc_rarity"]=1,
["papermario_only"]=true,
["things_rarity"]=1,
["bc_added"]=false,
["drained_rarity"]=6,
}

to clarify, i don't want the ["rarities"] table in my return because i already have 3 keys that are just like that

i also don't know what's writing this into the config file

[weak gate]

Trying to find where exactly in the code makes it so that pinned cards can't be moved

[rigid dagger]

so, im making a card that eats the first played card in hand. to find the first played card im using "if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1]" but it doesnt work... anybody know why?

[quartz ravine]

Isn't it context.destroying_card?

[unkempt thicket]

How can I lovely patch an if statement around a piece of code, without replacing it? (without pattern = "at")

[rigid dagger]

Youre right! worked the first time thanks a bunch

[old bane]

okay i figured it out i legit just set that part of the table to nil and it removed it les go

[weak gate]

I'm trying to make a joker that can't be put in the rightmost spot, it'll instantly move to the leftmost if you do. Ideas?

[quartz ravine]

Man I literally copied one of the built in shaders, renamed it and trying to use it as a shader and balatro crashes with

engine/sprite.lua:121: Shader uniform 'lines_offset' does not exist.
A common error is to define but not use the variable.

[unkempt thicket]

I think what I did for locked sticker could be of use.

[quartz ravine]

happy to help

[weak gate]

Seems slightly different, but probably quite helpful - can you show the code? 🙂 @unkempt thicket

[unkempt thicket]

I used a lovely patch, I believe what you want to do is in the Card:move function.

[plush cove]

can't think of an easier fix than that, ty!

[dusk harness]

now that i can get all the info out of the shop i need to get the info out of the packs. but i cant seem to find anywhere where each card is added to the booster. can someone guide me to a direction?

[quartz ravine]

Anyone know of a mod successfully using their own shaders? I can’t think of any and I need a working example to make my own I think

[stiff locust]

struggling to make an enhancement retrigger itself anyone got a reference

cryptid echo cards did not help and I don't know any other enhancements that retrigger?

[dusk harness]

so like chad? or like sock hack but as an enhancement?

[quartz ravine]

Marie, maybe the red seal would be a good way to start? Or maybe you can return a repetition value in the scoring method for the card enhancement and it just works?

[dusk harness]

also that

[quartz ravine]

Oh yeah cryptid echo cards! They have it working

[tall wharf]

hi

i know one

my own

[stiff locust]

cryptid echo cards are weird

I understand the pseudorandom stuff for the 1 in 2 but

using the same return as the echo card just

doesn't retrigger my card

[dusk harness]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/ea43625e5bad5f5ad42713e91297cf948c8bd397/items/misc.lua#L1826 maybe this line?

[tall wharf]

ain't that just an upgrade

[tall wharf]

i mean won't echo just an upgrade

[dusk harness]

SICK

[stiff locust]

that line doesn't really do anything on its own

that just sets values for the 1 in 2 and the number of retriggers which is also 2

[dusk harness]

yeah i know that

[stiff locust]

the value is used in the return

[tall wharf]

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

[stiff locust]

return {
                message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                repetitions = card.ability.retriggers,
                card = card,
            }

but a return like this in context.repetition just doesn't work on my card

[quartz ravine]

I have seen you all over the place here Aikoyori! I will try your mod!

[novel violet]

aikoyori mentioned lets go

[stiff locust]

shaders resume tomorrow

[dusk harness]

what you need is the calculate function

[quartz ravine]

Marie does your card config have retriggers in its config value?

[stiff locust]

i know what the calculate function is luigi

[stiff locust]

i appreciate the sanity check but

yes

i made sure of it

[tall wharf]

I've been development for a few days

[stiff locust]

many many times

[quartz ravine]

I would think Lua would throw if it didn’t

Null safe this language is not

[dusk harness]

what you're whole calculate function? i just want to check something, im not saying you did anything wrong i just want to check

[quartz ravine]

I am feeling the same way

[stiff locust]

it's identical to the echo card minus the probabilities

[tall wharf]

i also made this disgusting boss blind

[stiff locust]

i'm gonna try something

[quartz ravine]

Wtf is that evilness

[stiff locust]

it's not even that bad

[tall wharf]

I'm aiming to kill baron build

[quartz ravine]

I hope you guys don’t give local think any ideas

[stiff locust]

this is only bad in 1 situation and that is when all your hands are so good that you literally cannot throw

[manic rune]

hi yme :D

[dusk harness]

so something along the lines of this?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if
            context.repetition
        then
            return {
                message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                repetitions = card.ability.retriggers,
                card = card,
            }
        end
    end,```

[tall wharf]

i hate chicot moment

[dusk harness]

thats evil

[quartz ravine]

It’s only context repetition when it is repeating already though

[stiff locust]

how did you steal my code what

that's exactly what it is

[stiff locust]

that's what I said

but it works for the echo card???

I don't get it

[novel violet]

HI BEPIS

[tall wharf]

hi yme

[novel violet]

:D

hi aiko!

[stiff locust]

enhancements are weird

[dusk harness]

oh, i miss understood the code, ill read more of what cryptid did while i wait for someone to help me out with my stuff

[tall wharf]

editions code are weird

[plush cove]

brainstorm moment

[novel violet]

Small Blind

[plush cove]

that's a placeholder asset

[novel violet]

i know xD i just thought it was silly

that does sound like an interesting boss blind

[tall wharf]

X2 build requirements every time a joker moves

[novel violet]

does it do the amber acorn thing though

[plush cove]

it doesn't flip them

it sorts them and prevents you from moving them

it's more like pinning from Cryptid

[novel violet]

OOOO

:0

[stiff locust]

pinning isn't a cryptid thing

it is used in challenges

[plush cove]

i see

but yeah it works similarly to that

[stiff locust]

most notably the one where you start with a pinned ceremonial dagger

[tall wharf]

anyway

[stiff locust]

it is pinned to the left side so it must always eat

[tall wharf]

pinned playing card

[stiff locust]

I should make a boss blind that debuffs all regularly scoring cards

[plush cove]

tw // jank

[tall wharf]

I mean...

[opal spade]

why comb through center_pools if you already have the center

card.config.center and the center you get from combing through center pools are the same table

[plush cove]

cuz i didnt realize that lmao

[stiff locust]

rrrrrrrrr

[quartz ravine]

context.repetitions does not mean what I thought it means. I thought that was only when it was already being repeated. Just like context.destroying_cards, it is named for when that window is called

[stiff locust]

i'm getting more localization crashes

[tall wharf]

are you trying to do editions or cards upgrades

[novel violet]

i thiiiink you're looking for context.repetition_only ?

[opal spade]

what's the crash

[novel violet]

or something like that, i remember seeing it in docs

[stiff locust]

I do not know what this line crashing has to do with my enhancement

[quartz ravine]

yep, I was totally wrong

[stiff locust]

it says cfg is nil

this only happens on the info queue for its corresponding tarot card

which uses the enhanced set and uses the right key I checked it like 20 times

and the localization entry works on the enhancement itself in the collection

the info queue just doesn't like it

[opal spade]

tarot localization needs fallback values iirc

[stiff locust]

it doesn't use any variables

the localization does not need them and thus does not use them

[opal spade]

The enhancement tooltip does

does it not?

[stiff locust]

not unless the enhancement has numbers in its description

which mine does not

i had that missing variable issue before with a seal and the crash was very different and I solved it, this crash is confusing me

because this line has nothing to do with the enhancement

it doesn't give chips its config is empty

[acoustic sundial]

Is there a way to tell if a card(joker) has been destroyed, and if so what card it was?

[stiff locust]

context.destroyed_card and then refer to it with context.card

very rough guess

[acoustic sundial]

sorry, i should be specific. Jokers

[stiff locust]

context.destroyed_card then check if context.card is a joker

very rough guess

[novel violet]

hey gang - i'm using voucher count as a variable in a Joker description (odds of an effect scale inversely with # of vouchers obtained) and when i hover over it in the collection in the menu, the game crashes >_< is there anything i can do to work around this

[dusk harness]

i mean reading this line, if it gets to cfg it means that specific_var is nil but and it crashes when trying to check the second condition because its trying to read out of a nil table

[novel violet]

for the record it works perfectly ingame even with no vouchers

[dusk harness]

nil check G.vouchers and return 0 if its nil?

because in game G.vouchers is an initialized table but not when checking the collection?

[tall wharf]

isn't it normals

[dusk harness]

a guess here

[tall wharf]

I'm guessing as well

[dusk harness]

i think it doesnt reach that var when in the collection. i think it crashes on teh first if

because i would assume that outside of an active game G.vouchers is nil as it get initialized when starting a new run

[stiff locust]

that would indicate that cfg, which is a playing card judging from cfg.bonus, is a nil table

and I have no idea why there is supposed to be a playing card in this instance

[dusk harness]

when does it crash exactly? like at which point?

[opal spade]

if G.vouchers and G.vouchers.cards
also you should move out the definition of the odds local outside of that if statement bcos if that if fails it defines a global variable odds

[solar eagle]

is there a way to check if a game has been restarted from the main menu?

[opal spade]

if G.vouchers and G.vouchers.cards then```

[dusk harness]

the Game:start_run function is called with some params, i dont know which tho

[solar eagle]

lemme see

[opal spade]

restarted or continued?

[solar eagle]

continued

making it so my joker does the activation wiggle properly

[opal spade]

game start_run has a saveTable when continuing a run

[stiff locust]

when hovering over the tarot with info queue for the enhancement
