[formal parrot]

Nah thats vanilla friendly

I wanna make it good without frying my cpu

[spring lantern]

unlucky

[formal parrot]

X101 mult is crazy tho

Like i can only use this now and i’ll clear LMFAO

Anyways thanks guys i’ll tune it down a little

Love yall

[spring lantern]

[sacred lily]

how do i solve this

[long sun]

getting this error, do you know why?

the line:

card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {
          message = localize{ type='variable', key='a_xmult', vars={number_format(to_big(card.ability.extra.current_xmult))}}
        })```

[plush cove]

talisman

[long sun]

ah i see

[lyric wadi]

wtf ktaner mod

bobm

[long sun]

:)))

[lyric wadi]

might steal

[long sun]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1346043005164978219

it's not ready yet but it's getting somewhere!

ya anyway

bit of a dilemma

either change what i'm doing with that line, or try to get Talisman to work again

[spring lantern]

help why are the booster pack game states hardcoded for each booster type what if i wanna check for a modded booster pack 😭

bro i just wanna add cool music to my booster pack why does this have to be so hard

[sacred lily]

how do I correctly upgrade the randomly selected card to a gold card

[edgy reef]

few seconds, I'll draft mock code

[spring lantern]

enhancement, not edition

[lyric wadi]

what is talisman

[zealous stirrup]

Anyone else getting a crash from smods when proccing sixth sense? (Currently happening when I only have lovely & smods loaded, nothing else)

[spring lantern]

big number mod

[plush cove]

number go bigger mod

[sacred lily]

thanks

I keep getting them confused for some reason

[long sun]

oh uh. suddenly Talisman works again?? wh??

[lyric wadi]

talisman

[spring lantern]

if you want stuff to work without talisman, you can do something like this in your main file or anywhere really

to_big = to_big or function(value)
  return value
end

[lyric wadi]

imagine needing talisman for your mod

[plush cove]

my mod doesnt need talisman but it is compatible with it

[spring lantern]

so if to_big doesn't exist it gets replaced with a dummy function that just returns the same value

[long sun]

ah i see ^^

thanks!

[edgy reef]

select_music_track = function(self)
    if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED and SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER.config.center.key == "your_booster_key" then
        return 1000 --idk how high this number should be, but 1000 should be enough
    end
end

This should work (I think?)

You can swap the key check for kind if there's multiple booster this musing should play for (as long as they're all the same).

[spring lantern]

thanks!!

[formal parrot]

Uhhhh

i fucking broke it already

[edgy reef]

Actually is booster_obj better?

[spring lantern]

so kind would be like group_key?

[edgy reef]

yea

Vanilla uses it to group Arcana packs together as the same type

[formal parrot]

For every face card scored with sock and buskin and pareidolia

Just created the perfect synergy for just testing the mod LOL

[sacred lily]

still not sure what's up with this.

[spring lantern]

i mean that takes up more slots now at least lmao

[formal parrot]

Lmfao yeah

Add a blueprint and a brainstorm and you’re done

Fuck it add red seal kings aswell

[gleaming zealot]

i have 0 progress on my mod cause i’m lazy !

[formal parrot]

Fuck it make them steel

How about that

[formal parrot]

Slacker

Joking

I love you

[gleaming zealot]

and i dont really wanna figure out how to do all the stuff i have to do.,

[gleaming zealot]

my girlfriend wouldn’t approve of this so i’ll say i think you’re a nice person

[formal parrot]

Yeyyyyy

[gleaming zealot]

and i still have to even create all of the ideas lol

only know rank 0 ideas rn

[topaz monolith]

I'm unsure if anyone answered my question, so I replied my question. I looked at other mods and some have this exact functionality, but have to create their own for it to work (Cryptid, Balatro +, etc). Just wondering how I go about to make my own

[gleaming zealot]

Steal their homework and change it up a bit

[topaz monolith]

Damn

[spring lantern]

idk about no duplicates but you can define a table of keys like this and then pick a pseudorandom element from there

[topaz monolith]

In that pool, those are all keys for each joker, correct?

[sacred lily]

well what does it want me to do? not call for an enhancement and just... not have one?

[spring lantern]

yeah, these are from my own mod but you can just add any joker you want

[spring lantern]

remember they must be written like j_modprefix_key

[faint plank]

theres probably a better way of wording this

[frosty dock]

set_enhancement is not a function that exists

that would be set_ability

[sacred lily]

ok

[frosty dock]

also neither of these have any business being inside a return table

neither does the former make sense at all

[sacred lily]

what i'm trying to do is pick a random card and then enhance it, how would i actually do this?

[frosty dock]

pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('something_unique')):set_ability('m_gold')

outside of any return table

[sacred lily]

ah ok

[frosty dock]

but wtf is that usage of or

[sacred lily]

idk

[frosty dock]

stuff is evaluated inside out

so 'Flush' or 'Straight Flush' happens first and just evaluates to 'Flush' because that is not nil or false

lucky for you, every straight flush contains a flush so it makes absolutely zero difference

[sacred lily]

ok

[spring lantern]

having to speed up the song i made to then slow it down again because for some reason music in balatro uses 0.7 pitch and if i dont do that then the songs desync is just like

[frosty dock]

just don't make your music sync with vanilla

[spring lantern]

it's a booster pack song tho so it just sounds weird when it desyncs 🥲

[long sun]

hi sorry, quick question

this returns true for every card in the deck:
if v.ability.name ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then enhancement_tally = enhancement_tally + 1 end

what-a-wrong with my code? :(

[frosty dock]

v.ability.name is a string and G.P_CENTERS.c_base is a table

they are never equal

[long sun]

oh kay, thanks :D

how do i check if a card isn't "normal", then?

like, if it's unenhanced?

[frosty dock]

you're trying to check if a card is enhanced though?

[sacred lily]

how do i make the card move a little bit when it gets enhanced? like the jokers do when giving mult

[frosty dock]

if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(v)) then works for that

[long sun]

ah kay, thanks!!

[frosty dock]

this accounts for quantum enhancements stuff, to check for a base enhancement you can do v.ability.set == 'Enhanced'

[topaz monolith]

Sorry for probably the most basic question, could probably look it up somewhere in the wiki, but am too lazy to, but I had a look at your lucky legends mod and saw that you have the Jokers.lua file and a localisation file. How are you able to link the two files together, and also figure out how to link the correct description with the correct joker with no key?

[frosty dock]

localization files are loaded automatically by steamodded

[spring lantern]

yeah

thank you steamodded

[frosty dock]

every joker must have a key, that's what you refer to in the localization file including any prefixes

[spring lantern]

it's seamless baby

[topaz monolith]

My brain is being fried at the moment with all this information. If I see this correctly, for @spring lantern's lucky legends mod, I read this for the localization file:

j_l6_luckylegends _dex

j_ means its a joker card. Change it to 'p' for booster pack, etc
l6_luckylegends is the mod prefix from the json file
_dex is the key name to link to the joker in the jokers.lua

Am I assuming this correctly?

[spring lantern]

yeah pretty much

it goes objectprefix_modprefix_key

[rancid otter]

Do you have 1x and 2x textures?

[glad osprey]

i still require help making my legendary deck render thingy

[sacred lily]

the card always becomes gold at the very beginning of scoring (before it;s even been scored)

can it be made to turn gold at the end of scoring, when the message comes up?

[long urchin]

Yeah

[frosty dock]

move it into a func in your return table

[zealous glen]

is the path correct?

[distant grove]

Is your folder and images right?

Like the names

Check the property just to make sure

[sacred lily]

yeah that's caused an error relating to basically every single bracket in it now

[faint heron]

In my opinion I think you could slightly rework how this joker works to fit the game more. The way its presented now just makes unnecary rules when in the end, playing spade is the best option. what you could rather do instead is make each part random, ex. "Played cards give the following: {RandomSuit} and {RandomSuit} {RandomifFaceCardorNOt} {RandomMult}. Changes every round". that way it will lower the words and make things more compact, plus it gives it a more uncommon vibe, which is a decent advantage, but at a cost. but the concept overall seems cool

[frosty dock]

then fix it-?

if you don't know the syntax well enough, you need to learn it

[sacred lily]

ok

[rancid otter]

local atlas_key uses Format: 'PREFIX_KEY'. So if your steamodded prefix is crew, try changing it to 'crew_atlas'

[topaz monolith]

In the calculate function for a joker, how do I check if there is room in the joker slots? I have a joker that gives a random joker upon reaching a boss blind, but I need to do a quick check if there is enough joker slots to summon one joker.

[red flower]

#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer < G.jokers.config.card_limit

[autumn seal]

would anyone with coding knowledge be able to make a mod essentially fixes this problem ? https://discord.com/channels/1264429948970733782/1347141566690492499 maybe like a system wide patch that changes all added buttons to prompts or something

SDM did their own #1228825966940393483 message but with other mods like cryptid that have 2 buttons it doesnt really work

[rigid dagger]

hey anybody know whats up with this? im trying to add a joker that adds 2 times the value of the first selected card to the mult... shouldn't this work?

[faint plank]

i could try somthing like that

how would i go about adding a card to the deck at then end of a round?

[atomic hornet]

Anyone know how to make a random number generate on blind select / on round end? I know context.setting_blind can be used as part of a joker/card, but I want it to activate everytime a round starts, not only when a certain thing is in play.

[red flower]

the way I do global effects that activate on contexts is just hooking SMODS.calculate_context

either that or hook into the same function setting_blind is called in

[rapid stag]

does anyone know if there's a function the game calls at the start of the shop phase? and which if so?

[atomic hornet]

Did not realise that was an option. Will have a play around with that.

[topaz monolith]

Bit of a pickle (And with 20 hours of no sleep, powered by coffee), trying to figure out, during calculating, it randomly picks a joker card from a custom pool I have, make it so it appears after selecting the boss blind. Currently, it gives an error when selecting the blind, which is most likely lying in here

[red flower]

what's the error

are the things in the random pool cards or are they keys/centers?

[topaz monolith]

They are keys I believe.

[red flower]

then you need to use
SMODS.add_card({key=new_joker})
you don't need emplace or add_to_deck

oh and delete copy_card too, keep the pseudorandom_element part

[rich roost]

How do I print to console the names of the jokers that are currently in my hand

I've been trying for so long for something so basic 😭

[topaz monolith]

So something like this?

[red flower]

for _, card in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    print(card.config.center.key)
end

I don't really remember how to get the actual names (I think for vanilla jokers it's card.ability.name?)

[red flower]

yes

add_card

[rich roost]

Thank you i've spent too long trying to figure out the most basic stuff

part of the process I guess

[topaz monolith]

Thanks, got it to work

[atomic hornet]

Now I'm getting this error upon opening the game with the SMODS.calculate_context added to my .lua.

Same error when using different contexts, or calling other functions.

[pseudo cape]

does anyone know if there's a way to give a deck design the same reflective shader spectral cards have?

I've got a basic deck made and as part of its bonuses, it gives you a spectral card, the deck design is also based on the spectral cards

m looking at the SMODS.DrawStep wiki, but it's not got a whole lot in it

[pseudo cape]

actually, can you even apply shaders to deck backs?

[opal spade]

through drawstep yeah

[pseudo cape]

do you know how I'd go about that?

[opal spade]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/card_draw.lua

look at the code for center and back

what you want to do is add step with order >0 and <10 that draws the edition shader on the back of the card if it's your deck

conditions vortex = false and facing = 'back'

[pseudo cape]

whenever I try and call SMODS.DrawStep, the game crashes and it says it's a nil value

[weak gate]

is there support for conditionally preventing a consumable item from being sold?

[plush cove]

you could apply eternal to it, and then remove it afterwards

[pseudo cape]

I assume so, seeing as there are eternal jokers that can't be sold in the base game, the code might work with consumables too

[opal spade]

did you update your smods

[old bane]

how do i access the "allow_duplicates" field for consumabletypes?

[opal spade]

without any mods, the default behavior of eternal consumables is can't sell, can use, destroyed upon use

[opal spade]

drawstep is beta>=0302 iirc

[pseudo cape]

it's on the most recent version yea

[opal spade]

how does your SMODS.DrawStep call look like?

[pseudo cape]

lemme see if vscode saved it, I kinda removed it already and was trying something else

SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'back',
    order = 5,
    func = function(self)
        local overlay = G.C.WHITE
        if self.area and self.area.config.type == 'deck' and self.rank == 16 then
            self.children.back:draw_shader('booster')
        end
    end,
    conditions = { Wdeck = true, facing = 'back' },
} 

already have the shader booster loaded, and the deck it's trying to be applied to is referenced as Wdeck in the code

let me like actually make sure steamodded is up to date rq

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know how fields like {0,0,0,1} work as a colour?

like what does each integer get translated to?

[plush cove]

red, green, blue, alpha (from 0-1)

[sonic cedar]

ALPHA ok that's what i was missing

[opal spade]

Wdeck is not a valid condition and would always translate as true
also your shader wouldn't apply to flipped cards outside of the deck

[sonic cedar]

thank you

[pseudo cape]

I only want it to apply to the backs of cards anyway, and alrighty

lemme try something more simple rq

[opal spade]

as in it would apply to face down in deck, but not face down anywhere else bcos ur shader is drawn only on deck cards

[pseudo cape]

ah alrighty

[opal spade]

also it would only draw on cards with rank 16?

[pseudo cape]

I am very tired

[opal spade]

i don't quite understand the conditions there

[pseudo cape]

but ye that's very wrong

neither do I

ope

well uhm

shader works (?)

it's currently applying to every card in the game though which is less good

also shader works as in it doesn't crash, still doesn't look right

[opal spade]

conditions should include facing back, and the function should check if the viewed deck/selected deck is your deck

[pseudo cape]

I'm getting closer

shader only applies to the back of cards now, I just need it to only apply to the one deck

[opal spade]

G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.viewed_back

these are the two things responsible for back rendering iirc

and each card stores which one of the two they're using through card.back (a string thats either "selected_back" or "viewed_back")

[opal spade]

these two redirect to the protocenter of the deck

[placid frigate]

is there a way I can have a challenge not have anyother jokers in the shop

[tall wharf]

how do you write shaders 😭😭😭😭

[pseudo cape]

I've got 0 clue, I'm having trouble just getting the prebuilt shaders working in the right way

[opal spade]

ask localthunk

[pseudo cape]

I'm kinda stuck

I dunno how to get it to only apply to my deck, been searching around for what I need to use and can't find anything

[tall wharf]

trust

[vale lake]

I'm trying to make the background color turn yellow for a couple of seconds, then turn back to normal, but ease_background_colour_blind is just making it so the background doesn't change, does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[pseudo cape]

this is what I've got so far for the shader, but it still applies to the back of every card

        SMODS.DrawStep {
            key = 'Wdeck',
            order = 5,
            func = function(self)
                if self.area and self.area.config.type == 'deck' then
                        self.children.back:draw_shader('voucher')
                end
            end,
            conditions = {facing = 'back'}
        },

been searching for what to add to the if statement to make it only apply to the one specific deck but so far I've not found what I need

[opal spade]

@pseudo cape

[vale lake]

nevermind, I forgot to put trigger = 'after'

[pseudo cape]

I think I misinterpreted this when I read it first

[opal spade]

on an unrelated note I'll probably be opening a repo for magictrickAPI (my mod that makes jokers playable)
it's very unfinished but I'd rather have it out there so others could help

[pseudo cape]

makes jokers playable?

[opal spade]

rewrites some of the calc logic to make sure joker effects fire off when jokers are in playing card fields

[pseudo cape]

ooh cool!

[opal spade]

rn i got it to a state where it

1. doesn't crash on playing a joker
2. handles all non-scoring evals between jokers/playing cards
3. handles jokers in playing card areas during scoring

there's a new context for playing jokers but if the joker doesn't respond to it the game will try to force a joker_main calc instead

[pseudo cape]

that's kinda cool

now I'm imagining a reverse balatro

you start with 52 jokers, and you have to buy playing cards in the shop to put in the joker slots and that counts as what would normally be your played hand

[opal spade]

rn jokers are always scoring suitless/rankless cards, but I plan on extending the API to allow jokers to define their suits/ranks/other stuff

if lusty joker isn't hearts then what is

[pseudo cape]

true

do you know what I'm missing here? I feel like I'm getting super close to getting it working but something just isn't working right

        SMODS.DrawStep {
            key = 'spectral',
            order = 5,
            func = function(self)
                -- if self.area and self.area.config.type == 'deck' then
                    if G.GAME.selected_back == 'Wdeck' then
                        self.children.back:draw_shader('foil')
                    end
                    if G.GAME.viewed_back == 'Wdeck' then
                        self.children.back:draw_shader('foil')
                    end
                -- end
            end,
            conditions = {facing = 'back'}
        },

[opal spade]

G.GAME backs arent strings but redirect to their center table

also I'd recommend checking G.GAME[self.back] instead

the way your code is written right now would turn all card backs shiny if your deck is selected or viewed in general

rather than that specific card back being the deck

[pseudo cape]

how do I know/set where my deck is on the table it references?

[opal spade]

SMODS.Back is your table

What you need to check is the key

So G.GAME[self.back].key == "mykey"

[pseudo cape]

oooh

[opal spade]

key being "b_modprefix_thingyouwroteintothekeyfieldofthesmodsback"

[topaz monolith]

I am working on a joker card show in the image. How can I do the random probabilities, first of all, and how do I increase the numerator of the chances so that it increase for every scored 7?

[old bane]

1. pseudorandom('insert any string here') < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds) where card.ability.extra.odds is a stat that you set in the joker's config = { extra = {} }
2. if you want it to be affected by other jokers that effects probabilities, do
   pseudorandom('insert any string here') < ((G.GAME.probabilities.normal + card.ability.extra.numerator) / card.ability.extra.odds) instead. Then, you'll increase that numerator variable every time a 7 is scored

[rich roost]

I’m going to keep being annoying, ultimately im trying to collect all data available each hand played and store visited,I’m stuck now on poker hand level right now and I’m sure I’ll have many more to come

[pseudo cape]

okeokeokeokeoke

got it working in the game itself, just not in the menu

now to see if I can get it working in the menus without bugging out

I also need to switch the shader to the correct one, does anyone know what shader is used by the spectral cards?

it be work in menus

time to just try shaders till I find the right one

the shader also seems to hover over the card itself, and it rotates when you move the mouse over it, I think because it's trying to act like a normal card/joker even when it's on the deck

[tall wharf]

this is the third time I've seen deck that starts with a special cards that creates a joker

[tall wharf]

i mean definitely

[pseudo cape]

hey it's my first deck it's not meant to be complicated

(I say after spending 5 hours trying to get a shader working)

[tall wharf]

not blaming

it's ok

shaders are not easy

[pseudo cape]

time to watch more acerola

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

please stop making procedurally generated water

[faint heron]

is there a way to quick restart balatro to apply code changes? or do you have to just close and open it every time

[pseudo cape]

if you've got the debug mod you could try pasting the code snippet into the game, assuming it's just like testing to find something or something simple

[tall wharf]

i think someone told me to hold M

[pseudo cape]

that's what I've been using to find variable names I should've known because I wrote them myself

[topaz monolith]

Also, how do I make it so that if it triggers different effects, the joker gives the corresponding effect? For example, I triggered the "Earn $7" effect and trigger the "Gain X0.14 Mult" effect in-game. I want to trigger only those effect, but in different scenarios, it could also be "Retrigger Scored Cards" and "+77 Chips per 7". In my mind, I can only think of doing a bunch of IF ELSE statements

[tall wharf]

are you making a genshin impact mod

[pseudo cape]

methinks my mod manager didn't like that

[plush cove]

do you have your code files open

if so you should close them and then try the M trick again

[pseudo cape]

I'd rather spend the extra 2 seconds reopening the game, easier for me than closing all my code windows

[tall wharf]

context.retrigger is true for only
retriggers i think

still are you making a genshin mod because that description be looking very long

[topaz monolith]

Nah, someone wanted sevens to be useful since its the weakest in vanilla, so they gave me multiple ideas for it and I decided to just put them together

[tall wharf]

shaders :>

[tall wharf]

ah

so my yona joker is finally useful

[pseudo cape]

ooooh pretty

[pseudo cape]

I really like the onyx agate

[topaz monolith]

How does it work? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the wiki, so I might need an example of it if possible

[tall wharf]

retrigger all 2 and 7 twice

[sturdy compass]

Those animated tooltips are super impressive fr

[tall wharf]

i like them a lot

that's why i show them a lot

[tall wharf]

tbf n gave me the code that shows card area in the info queue

[sturdy compass]

Oh I see I see

[tall wharf]

and i made a util function out of it

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/1359e49ce4460c08bb785ddccc5a48cec1ac563a/modules/misc.lua#L259

[faint heron]

how would I go about updating the mult mid-play? I am trying to create a joker that lowers by 5 mult every hand played, but I can't seem to update the mult variable at all

[tall wharf]

show code

[faint heron]

this is what i have at the exact moment while trying to figure it out

[tall wharf]

that's not how you do it

there are like 3 things wrong with that code

first of all you put the card.ability.extra.mult BEFORE the return

you also use = to assign values and not ==

[manic rune]

good evening everyone

[opal spade]

why are you returning tables with mult indexes

[tall wharf]

you're basically returning a table of false

like my hope

for my future

[manic rune]

relatable...

[faint heron]

i originally was going to do just =, but then this would pop up

[woeful heart]

gg

[tall wharf]

you don't put it in the brackets

https://tenor.com/view/table-hit-yakuza-hitting-table-walk-out-gif-15307369

[faint heron]

still shows same thing even without brackets

[tall wharf]

no you don't put the thing in that line

[topaz monolith]

When I need to do the retrigger all cards from a probability chance, how do I make it so that it doesn't do the probability chances for each individual card (Example: Retrigger the first card, but not the second card), but retrigger the entire hand?

From what I understand at the moment, everytime it goes through each card, its repeating the probability check, causing different outcomes, which is not what I want

[tall wharf]

please look at this code for example https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/1359e49ce4460c08bb785ddccc5a48cec1ac563a/modules/jokers.lua#L422

i know it's the worst example

hold on here's a better one https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/1359e49ce4460c08bb785ddccc5a48cec1ac563a/modules/jokers.lua#L657

        if context.before then
            
            for i, _card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.extra
            end
            return {
                message = localize("k_akyrs_2fa_generate")
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers  then
            return {
                message = localize("k_akyrs_2fa_reset"),
                func = function ()
                    card.ability.extra.chips = 0
                end
            }
        end

Calculate the chance in context.before, apply it in context.repetition and reset it in context.after

[tall wharf]

hello n how do i actually use the current value of joker if it was being changed by a different function altogether

[red flower]

wdym

[tall wharf]

i have this code https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/1359e49ce4460c08bb785ddccc5a48cec1ac563a/modules/hooks/scoring.lua#L16

that changes the joker value directly

in here https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/1359e49ce4460c08bb785ddccc5a48cec1ac563a/modules/jokers.lua#L46

it doesn't use the up to date current value of the value i want it to update when it's calculating

I'll come back in like 3 hours or so

[red flower]

afaik it should, are you sure it's updating correctly on trigger_external? i wouldn't use ability.name to check for the card because I think that doesn't work for modded jokers, I would use config.center.key

[manic rune]

your bluetooth device is ready to pair

[tall wharf]

it is updating correctly i believe

joker display displays the up to date value

maybe i should actually put those code in an event

[opal spade]

smods has proper example mods

[atomic hornet]

Currently trying to get a random number to change everytime a round ends, but when I add in the following code, it creates a crash in steammodded utils (screenshot). Anyone know a solution / a better way to generate random numbers every round? - same error happens with context.ending shop or blind select.

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round then
        local rand4 = math.random(1, 289) 
    end
end
} ```

[tall wharf]

yes

[topaz monolith]

I can see the vision, but would it get given the updated probability during the context.before state from a context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play state?

The image is what my code is at the moment. The image shows the main probability of the joker card being increased everytime it finds a scored 7. This is during the scoring state (afaik). Like increasing it to 3/5 if two '7' scored.

[hard flume]

Hi! I'm interested in making a Balatro mod-- where would I get started?

[modern kindle]

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

[manic rune]

do i send the balatro modding tutorial video again for the 4th time 😭

[modern kindle]

always resend

[manic rune]

yeah uh, wiat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&t=7s

this is a bit outdated, but generally does well at telling you what to do

[hard flume]

Oh I didn't know that existed. I looked and couldn't find it tbh.

[red flower]

oh ok maybe when you use the function in update() it already went through all the calculations
I would try hooking SMODS.calculate_context and doing what you're doing there in context.before

[manic rune]

in addition to this, highly suggests reading the code from example mods

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/EditionExamples/EditionExamples.lua

[hard flume]

Gotcha. Thanks guys!

[red flower]

you can check the number of 7s in context.before using context.scoring_hand

[manic rune]

im gonna save this and just send immediately whenever someone is new to modding

efficiency...

[red flower]

I'm pretty sure that's not how calculate_context works

[modern kindle]

i wish we had a bot that people could just !mod and then it would send the messages for you

[manic rune]

if you just want to grab a random number, either use math.random() (random number which is different even when you play the same seed), or use pseudorandom() (random number which remains consistent if you play the same seed)

[atomic hornet]

I have the mod working with math.random, but it only picks a random number when I load the game and then keeps that number until you restart the game. I'm looking to have a new random number chosen each round, so I'm trying to get it to regen the number at some point after scoring.

[manic rune]

just calling math.random() again will regen it

[red flower]

I don't think the random function is the problem

The problem is doing it each round

[manic rune]

oh, i think you can use context.end_of_round for that?

or the context that procs when you enter a blind (im not sure if that exists)

[red flower]

I think they said before they weren't using a joker, it was a global effect

[atomic hornet]

So specifically I'm randomising a setting, so it's not on a joker / anything that is read repeatedly. The game seems to read it once on start-up and then never again so even putting a new math.random in doesn't get the code read.

[manic rune]

oh

hm

[red flower]

setting_blind

[manic rune]

i have this dumb and inefficient idea, but you can use a loop and just check whenever round changes 😭

[red flower]

you can hook calculate_context and check for setting_blind and update your number there

I don't recommend math.random tho I would use pseudorandom

[manic rune]

a

[red flower]

you would also need to save it in G.GAME and not a local variable

[manic rune]

i wonder if its possible to code a progress bar

[red flower]

what about the progress bar when smods loads

[manic rune]

doesnt that come with balatro itself

[red flower]

well then the code is there

[manic rune]

my IT's pc with pirated balatro has it ❤️

[manic rune]

true, i will take a look at it later

[topaz monolith]

Using the context.scoring_hand, how can I compare it so that everytime it finds a 7, it increases the probability? This most likely uses the FOR statement. I am looking at the flower pot joker and it looks similar, but I am unsure how to make it work for my case

[manic rune]

check G.hand and G.play (its the played hand)

or you can just do G.playing_cards if you are checking every 7 in your deck

[red flower]

no, context.scoring_hand is correct

[manic rune]

oh, i taomssdomio misread that 😭

i thought they meant how to check the hands, uhhh

go through the scoring hand with a for loop, then use :get_id() == 7

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1017605453250834452/1294950325115027456/togif-5.gif

[red flower]

for _, card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
-- what you were doing in context.individual
end

[manic rune]

why did you point at that 😭

[red flower]

i thought it was part of the same message

:3

[manic rune]

i was deadass thinking about adding a "Weakness Meter" to playing cards to uhhh differentiate break dps from others

[topaz monolith]

I am assuming this is what you mean

[atomic hornet]

Hmm, haven't touched G.GAME yet, but will give it a go. Thanks for the new angle!

In terms of psuedorandom, I did start with that, but found math.random just instantly gave an integer number which worked better ('quicker') for the table look-up after. I got a functioning result with it to publish, it just wasn't quite my vision for the mod.

[red flower]

that would be cool

[manic rune]

well, im HAPPY hsr v1.0 didnt add any good break dps yet so i wont have to waste days getting that working 😭

[red flower]

change the if condition for just card:get_id() == 7

[manic rune]

that can wait for bsr v1.1 i guess

[red flower]

You can just multiply and floor the pseudorandom number

[atomic hornet]

Yea, that's what I'll do

[manic rune]

math.floor(pseudorandom("seed", min, max))

i think you can do that

[red flower]

anyway im going back to sleep i literally just opened discord to check my mods thread

[atomic hornet]

Thanks for the help, I too am off to sleep, just thought I'd post here again for some ideas to mull over and try tomorrow

[manic rune]

i never realized its "chips" and "Mult", ruined my day

😭

[hard flume]

Wait can you use psuedorandom to have it be random dependant on the combination of played cards?

[modern kindle]

its cause chips arent important..

[red flower]

set_badges?

[dusk harness]

question for the people. if you were to want descriptions during a live stream from a balatro streamer, when would you like the data to refresh. like following which input/action from the streamer should the descriptions be updated?

[atomic hornet]

Like audio descriptions? I'd guess on mouse click (excluding card selection), so click on play/discard it says what cards are affected and hand played / eventually score.
Would also suggest joker/card descriptions in shop and boss blind on selection.
I think there was an add-on that displayed joker effects on twitch so you could read them without the streamer hovering over them. Though if this is for audio transcription it'd probably be a mess to hook onto streamer actions if they are rerolling shop a bunch and dragging jokers around to re-order them.

[iron iron]

im gonna tweak the mult does go up, put in a print command and nothing printed

[iron iron]

the print command was for the xmult value

[dusk harness]

no like overlays https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1343474630916182037

sorry question wasnt clear

[dusk harness]

as far as i know, im the only one working on the twtich add on, at least from what i googled and looked for before starting this project

[crystal perch]

could you insert the print back in?

[iron iron]

like so?

[crystal perch]

and does the joker fully work aside from the print command?

i don't see why it wouldn't be working, maybe try making the joker output a message instead

[iron iron]

its an enhancement

for each other moss card you play it gives +0.1x mult

[crystal perch]

my bad i even read enhancement idk why i thought joker

[iron iron]

printing shows absolutely nothing in debug console, it doesnt even bother running the code

[crystal perch]

in both debug plus and lovely console?

[dusk harness]

if you end up replying to this either reply here with a ping or reply in my thread https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1343474630916182037

[topaz monolith]

At the moment, I have most of the joker functionality working. Its just that whenever it triggers the $7 effect, it doesn't allow the XMult to trigger, pretty much making the Xmult useless. The +77 chip also is meant to be triggered if it won the probability chance. Image is my code. I may need to change something, but am dum

[iron iron]

yeah

[tired pine]

okay so! ive made a little sprite for the jack of spades. plan on adding more but before i do i wanna see how it looks in game. so! how does one input the sprite from a sprite sheet such as this (not this one ofc as it doesnt have the sprited jack of spades) into the game? i heard there was a small amount of code work involved

(i used this sprite sheet as a ref for making the sprite. so the sheet still has every other card, just the jack has been changed)

[sturdy compass]

I would’ve helped you get your mod stuff set up but I just got off my pc for the night 😭

[tired pine]

T~T

[sturdy compass]

If you don’t find anyone by tomorrow and you catch me online, ping me and I’d be happy to help out

[lavish lake]

i swear to god the sprites for the face cards flipping for different suits makes me shiver

[sturdy compass]

Ig queens are the only ones that don’t flip

[tired pine]

ive only just noticed that

thanks i hate it

[sturdy compass]

Same

[tired pine]

i wonder how hard it is to figure out ngl

[sturdy compass]

I’d recommend going through this page that I just remembered exists if you wanna take the dive https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[tired pine]

allready am :3

[sturdy compass]

Hell yeah

[plush cove]

After you've read that page, check out this to see some vanilla Jokers remade using the SMODS API https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[dusk harness]

Was a out to ask if that was a thing so we all aligned

[tired pine]

jokers are a bit different to face card reskins no?

[sturdy compass]

They’re just doing a texture pack so I don’t think they need that lol

[tired pine]

oh wait

[plush cove]

oh I completely missed that part and thought you were just posting that as a general advice for all modders

[tired pine]

this seems pretty easy

hold up :D

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lmao

[tired pine]

im bad at coding, but i might genuinely be okay for once

[sturdy compass]

Yeah it’s a relatively simple process for a DeckSkin

Just an atlas and a huge object telling the game what goes where

[tired pine]

this is a 2x res file right?

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[tired pine]

how would one get a 1x from that?

[sturdy compass]

Resize the image by 50%

Or smthn like that

[tired pine]

im now officially looking at lunemod.lua and figuring out where to even start

lmao

[sturdy compass]

First off you should create your atlas in that file

That’s basically the thing that partitions the designated image file into parts that the game can use

[tired pine]

trying to figure out what exactly an atlas is and how to create one

and is there anything in particular i should be calling the 1x and 2x sprite sheets?

[sturdy compass]

You were actually looking at the page for it here lol

[sturdy compass]

Nope! As long as they’re in their respective folders, the Atlas should take care of the rest

[tired pine]

and this is what i have so far

need to figure out px/py

cause im unsure if thats the entire sprite sheet or just a single sprite

because if so thats the default value for the vanilla card sprites

[sturdy compass]

Ok so you’ve already gone wildly off the rails 😅

[tired pine]

huh? but its a "required parameter"

thats not my fault T~T

[sturdy compass]

Gimme a sec, lemme lay it out for ya rq

[tired pine]

or is it this >->

[sturdy compass]

No that’s just for applying an atlas

[tired pine]

a

sooo i need to create one

[iron iron]

bump so it doesnt get buried ig

[sturdy compass]

An atlas is structured like a list of sorts. The list is composed of items that give it properties. It looks something like this:

SMODS.Atlas {
   key = --Whatever you want to call the atlas,
   px = 71, --This is the width of a single card sprite
   py = 95, --This is the height of a single card sprite
   path = --This is the filename of your sprite sheet. It does NOT need to be the full path
}

For the path, in your case, just lunejack.png will do

[topaz monolith]

Kinda stuck with this error

[tired pine]

okay now that ive written this out. i need to put the applying atlas code somewhere too?

[frosty dock]

context.cardarea == G.jokers does not identify a context

it happens all the time

it should all be inside the context.joker_main check I assume

[sturdy compass]

Not quite. Now you need to make an SMODS.DeckSkin object which is set up somewhat similarly to how an Atlas is. I recommend checking out that page to see what goes where https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

[topaz monolith]

But wouldn't a "Return" stop the entire function all together? If you haven't seen, the card effect is the image

[tired pine]

okay so this is a new .lua file inside the same folder as the created atlas right?

[sturdy compass]

No, same file as the one you made the atlas in

[tired pine]

oh huge

[sturdy compass]

You should be working in one lua file for this whole project

[tired pine]

after finishing that ( i havent ofc) will that be all?

[sturdy compass]

Basically yeah

I’m not insanely well versed in how DeckSkins are properly done but I do know that it is what you want. Positive of it

So I apologize if any help I give from here on is a bit shaky

[tired pine]

im just looking at this and dying lmao

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lmao

[frosty dock]

yes, but you can have multiple effects in one return table

[sturdy compass]

Oh hey loc_txt is on the DeckSkin parameters twice lol

[frosty dock]

no

one is in palettes

[sturdy compass]

Oh bruh

It’s nested 😭

[tired pine]

gurl i dont have a loc_txt

can i just loc_txt = default

[frosty dock]

though it looks like some of these are different contexts and you just need to check from them correctly

[frosty dock]

what would a default even be? does your stuff not have a name

[tired pine]

i have no clue where a loc_txt file would be saved on my pc. let alone if i even have one. surely theres an english one somewhere

[sturdy compass]

You wouldn’t need a file

[tired pine]

oh then just en-us would work then

[sturdy compass]

Not even, you can just straight up put text there

[topaz monolith]

That's the issue. I can't have them in the same return table because if they are, that removes half of the functionality of the joker. For instance, it could give money and retriggers only, or money, gain mult and give chips. Its just getting the mult to activate during joker_main and chips if the probability is a success

[frosty dock]

you don't need to return the table the moment it is defined

in this case both the 1 in 5 and the 1 in 8 want to happen in joker_main

[topaz monolith]

So something like appending multiple data into a table and use that table to return afterwards, correct?

[frosty dock]

the 1 in 7 looks like context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual, while the 1 in 10 is context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition, though you'd want to determine the chance roll for this before hand if it shouldn't be an individual chance for each card, i.e. save the result somewhere during context.before

[frosty dock]

not sure what you mean by appending but yes

[topaz monolith]

Appending as in like grabbing data from a variable and insert it into the table

[frosty dock]

alright sure

I just saw you're using context.pre_joker in there. that should only be used for editions

[frosty dock]

Also giving the xmult, obviously

[iron iron]

minor nitpick but is should be scoring 7 in played hand

[frosty dock]

• when a played 7 is scored
• when a 7 is played and scored

either of those

[iron iron]

increase the probabilities of the following chances by 1 when a played 7 is scored

[topaz monolith]

After reading what mine was, actually kinda confused someone that didn't know what it did. Thanks

[orchid scaffold]

i made my first balatro mod, did i do a great job?

[iron iron]

what is the mod

[orchid scaffold]

i made a deck with 10 red steel poly kings

[iron iron]

ahhh

i assume erosion works

[topaz monolith]

My original issue might not make sense so here is the summary:

What works

• The joker gives $5
• The joker gains Xmult
• The joker can retrigger
• Probability resets upon finishing the scoring of current played hand

What doesn't work

• The joker doesn't grant chips upon successfully winning probability chance
• The joker doesn't use the Xmult during joker_main

The image shows the code for the one that doesn't work. If needed, I can provide another screenshot of something else if it helps

[maiden phoenix]

If you're on one of the latest smods replace "Xmult_mod" by "Xmult"

Also the way you coded it, if one joker_main triggers, the others wont be checked

[topaz monolith]

If that's the case, how would I manage to get it to work? I assume something like appending data into a table for each one, then on the last bit, use the return function for the table?

[frosty dock]

not me having just tried to explain that

[topaz monolith]

Sorry, fried brain for the past few hours. From this and also the Australia Cyclone thats happening atm

[frosty dock]

if context.joker_main then
  local ret = {}
  ret.x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult 
  if pseudorandom('greek') < ... then
    ret.dollars = card.ability.extra.moneyget
  end
  if pseudorandom('greek') < ... then
    ret.chips = card.ability.extra.chipget
  end
  return ret
end

something like this

[clear mason]

Is it just me or does anyone else have an irrational hatred towards Lua?

Like not being able to concisely construct a table in a language about tables kinda sucks

[frosty dock]

wdym

[long sun]

I think it's okay. It's a bit like JavaScript

[topaz monolith]

I was about to message here and thank @frosty dock for the help as it worked, but wasn't expecting that statement when I come back

[long sun]

Being able to set properties of a table on the fly is a great feature, I think!

It's very malleable

[clear mason]

Like in python for example you can just make a list with generator, e.g. [ i**2 + 1 for i in range(16) ]. Here you init a table first and make an ugly loop which is supposed to fill it

[long sun]

Like I can just say table.thing = 1 and it'll do that :}

[frosty dock]

okay fair, but I don't think it's that bad, it's just a couple more characters to do effectively the same thing

also

[clear mason]

and the fact there's no in-house solution to concat two tables

[paper zealot]

Lua is really good at what it aims to do, but sometimes those aims are a little quirky. Building an entire language around dictionary lookups and making it fast is absolutely amazing. It does have a weird mix of surprising syntactic sugar (.access, :init()) AND a surprising lack of syntactic sugar (No index_of? No deep_copy? No += ?!)

[clear mason]

like it's procedural but unlike C it's ugly procedural

[frosty dock]

how do you like a lazy infinite table

local t = setmetatable({}, {__index = function(t, k) if type(k) == 'number' then return k^2+1 end end })

(it's just a function in disguise)

[paper zealot]

Or are functions just tables in disguise? 🤔

[rough basin]

is there anyway to actively track the money through scoring?

[tired pine]

i surprisingly have simplified it enough :D

[rough basin]

im trying to make a joker that divides the score by the money the player has, but it seems to be taking the money at the start of the hand rather than the end of the hand

[rough basin]

i tried using context.final_scoring_step but it still seems to be taking the money at the start of the hand

using G.GAME.dollars

[frosty dock]

ew, a smods 0.9.8 mod

[tired pine]

yeah i realised im using an older version of smods

and instead of updating smods i just ended up figuring it out myself lmao

[frosty dock]

it also doesn't DeckSkin, it just replaces the base versions of the cards

so less choice

[frosty dock]

please don't 😭

[clear mason]

I mean what you do is substitute one sprite for a custom one, what my code does is create a skin pack (can be swapped in collabs menu) which has 6 different variants, for all 4 suits

it wont ever be public dw. its just for personal use between me and my partner :D

nah I'm shit at lua

like esp atlas loading just sucks

[frosty dock]

that's fine so long as you're not planning to use any other mods

[tired pine]

yea i should test to see if it breaks the other mods i normally use

it doesnt break :D

[frosty dock]

what are they

[clear mason]

I'd still recommend using DeckSkin over whatever the hell you are using right now since it's more descriptive and modular

[tired pine]

ignore balatro multiplayer and smods main. everything else works here

[tired pine]

ig but id only ever wanna do a couple of the face cards tbh. so in reality i dont need to go much further

[frosty dock]

oh you have literally no reason to be using the old APIs

[tired pine]

if someone can throw me an example of DeckSkin so i can begin to understand what any of it actually means then go ahead, ill look through it and change it T~T

[frosty dock]

your steamodded is like 2 months out of date from current

[tired pine]

the old api makes sense

the newer one is... a bit much lmao

[frosty dock]

for just sprites it's not that different

if anything it's simpler

[tired pine]

honestly just wanna change the sprites of the face cards. thats all. nothin else lmao

[clear mason]

It's simpler than you think. You just load a png as an atlas and then make a singular DeckSkin in like ranks mode or something

[frosty dock]

DeckSkins have however gotten an update since then

[random sleet]

rip deckskins

[frosty dock]

it replaces the header at the top of the lua file. you don't need to switch to it

[clear mason]

whoever thought gray text on purple background looks good is wrong

like it's genuinely hard to read, why would you do this

[frosty dock]

i don't think it's hard to read but you have a point

[clear mason]

it kinda is when zoomed out

[frosty dock]

so what should it be changed to

[clear mason]

I guess like a lighter shade, idk lol

Maybe make it generic white but transculent if engine supports that, idk how that would look

[frosty dock]

i guess that works?

[clear mason]

yeah

[clear mason]

yeah that's it in HSI grayscale

People underappreciate managing mods with git

[plain wyvern]

ong

[clear mason]

like You literally install everything with git clone [url] and then just use git pull to update without having to download a zip ech time

but I guess terminal scary or something...

[spring lantern]

you can also be like me and get github desktop so you don't even have to use the terminal :3

[clear mason]

who the fuck uses github desktop

[spring lantern]

me

(i like friendly interfaces

[rose dragon]

me

[clear mason]

Heavens, please grant me a flamethrower; I need to emplace just upon this world

[spring lantern]

damn bro chill im sorry 😭

[clear mason]

I mean the github-desktop, not you

[spring lantern]

nooo i wanna press buttons not write text

[clear mason]

Like I just don't get why are so many people afraid to write three words

It's literally like a discord bot except local

[spring lantern]

maybe for just pulling a mod it's fine but me i'm tryna do version control for my projects

[zealous glen]

I think the main issue with command line git is that it’s difficult/impossible to write long commits

[spring lantern]

i like having all the info readily accessible

[zealous glen]

So having to switch to a text editor, write, then use the file as a commit message can be annoying

[clear mason]

You can commit without -m and it opens up a text editor

[zealous glen]

If I’m on Linux I don’t like vi or vim

[clear mason]

It opens a text editor for you, you don't need to copy anything

[zealous glen]

I know I don’t like the text editor it opens

Or the format

[clear mason]

export EDITOR=/bin/editor-of-choice

tada

[zealous glen]

I’d rather it open a normal text editor

[frosty dock]

multiple -m:

[clear mason]

You can open a normal text editor with this

[zealous glen]

But also I mostly use command line git and use the commit message file as

-F?

I think that was the command

[spring lantern]

meanwhile all i gotta worry about is here

:v

[clear mason]

That's literally the same thing

[zealous glen]

I think handling patched commits can also be annoying

Well

Only the complicated patches

If it’s the “add” or “don’t add” patches then it’s easy

[clear mason]

Like you literally just git commit and it spins up literally this except it's a generic text editor

[spring lantern]

okay but it's there already

ion gotta type a command to pull up an external program

it's just there

[clear mason]

You still need to click buttons

[spring lantern]

it's all about convenience

it's more convenient like this

[clear mason]

Typing on keyboard is more convenient than a clicky-clicky gui

[spring lantern]

it's just 1 button it ain't the end of the world

[languid mirage]

why do other people's preferences bother you so much

[zealous glen]

Command line git can do graphs though

You can’t click on the graphs tho

[spring lantern]

i mean graphs are cool i guess

[zealous glen]

It helps track the different branches of a project

And move between them

[spring lantern]

i do like having access to the commit history in a list like this without opening my browser

[zealous glen]

I think a graph is easier to follow than this

[spring lantern]

i don't really work with branches a lot of the time so for me it's enough

but if there was multiple branches then yeah it would get messy

[zealous glen]

you could also manage git from VSCode

[clear mason]

git log

[plush cove]

i use gitkraken

:3

[zealous glen]

Maybe git log --oneline

[spring lantern]

think i'm just too normie for all this command shit and i rather just click le button and do the thing

save my programming brainpower for the actual code of the project yk

[clear mason]

Stop thinking you are too normie

Commands are normie too smh

You just type words to a thing

And a thing does what you want

[zealous glen]

I like a bit more buttons but not necessarily too many

[paper zealot]

VSCode GitHub extension is good

[spring lantern]

oh damn i might need this

[zealous glen]

I’m still getting use to it

I think PyCharm’s was slightly different

[clear mason]

also vscode sucks

[languid mirage]

dw, I also prefer git UI, I learned git through UI (from Intellij IDEA), and while yeah I learned to use some commands later, I still prefer UI for convenience

[zealous glen]

I had a professor who would do everything from the command line, including edit videos

[spring lantern]

bro what 😭

[tall wharf]

omg

alex

[spring lantern]

hi

[tall wharf]

i use vscode git thing

[spring lantern]

do you recommend

[clear mason]

damn that's like the first person I heard to use https://tools.suckless.org/blind/ unironically

[zealous glen]

Same professor, from across the room, to a friend working on a project for another professor’s class: “your numerical model for the solar system is wrong”

[tall wharf]

yes

[languid mirage]

edit videos as in just use ffmpeg to trim it?

[zealous glen]

I think trim, mirror, and rotate or play backwards

[languid mirage]

brain explode emoji

[spring lantern]

just use movie maker at that point daym 😭

[zealous glen]

It was either

Applying a linear transformation to a drawing on screen

[clear mason]

oh yeah also why do so many frontends to ffmpeg exist

[zealous glen]

Or it was showing that the person in the video was behind glass and drawing on it

[languid mirage]

I only know about 1 which I use

lossless cut

[clear mason]

like "convert format to format" is literally just ffmpeg -i file.mkv file.mp3 and that's it

[languid mirage]

I mean yeah

but I use it for trimming clips

[spring lantern]

my goofy ass looking up mp4 to mp3 converter online:

[clear mason]

Trimming is of similar complexity

[languid mirage]

easier to preview and choose timestamps then click export

than copy timestamp into console

like why should I bother

[zealous glen]

By the way, they spotted this because the ration of the distance between planets or the Sun was wrong

[clear mason]

Also I'm that insane person that watches youtube through mpv

[zealous glen]

what’s mpv

[clear mason]

A very minimalistic media player

It supports video caching and yt-dlp

[zealous glen]

I didn’t have to do that project, but it was funny to watch from the outside because the professor that assigned it effectively chose a bad science article for students to replicate, so they had to fix the errors in it

[clear mason]

so youu can just mpv 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=aksjdhasjkdh27 and it plays it

supports buffering and even video parts

[plush cove]

i'm using gitlens :3

[rose dragon]

pull request bug maybe

[zealous glen]

Me not committing my changes for my mod:

[clear mason]

that looks unnecessarily complex

[zealous glen]

“that looks unnecessarily simple” — someone about CLI git

[clear mason]

simple is good

[plush cove]

[rose dragon]

IM TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING BLIND ATLAS, NOT THE BLIND ITSELF!!1111111

[plush cove]

OH.

im sorry

[rose dragon]

cantread

[spring lantern]

98% of balatro players are blind

[spring lantern]

[rose dragon]

im in the 3%

[clear mason]

And also one of the reasons I use mpv is that it just plays audio right in the terminal

like look at this

so peak

[languid mirage]

Also to reply to this. When you are clueless about git or version control (which is like majority of people who aren't developers) then it doesn't look so simple.

Non-technical people are used to auto updates - e.g. when you have a steam game, it will just update automatically as soon as there's something new. No need to download zip files. No need to learn this new git thing and using console to run commands. No need to even check if there's an update.

And yeah, there are tools that can already run commands for you, but they aren't that wide spread, and it's still a few more button to push, which you shouldn't have to.

[clear mason]

but you can just add an entry to crontab

[languid mirage]

?

[clear mason]

actually though, if talking about linux balatro you can just hook it in AppRun

[languid mirage]

so someone who never heard about git, never did any version control. would see balatro modding and be like:

yup, git clone here, crontab there, git pull to update things yup, all very simple and intuitive

[clear mason]

yes

of course

[languid mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/damn-bird-legs-gif-7418853116988366584

[clear mason]

that's why linux should become more widespread

power of UNIX is undeniable

[languid mirage]

convenience > power

for majority of people

[spring lantern]

thas what im sayin

[clear mason]

I recently hooked ACPI to sleep on laptop lid close only if system update isn't running, you can't do that with "convenience"

[languid mirage]

🐧

[clear mason]

Took like 3 minutes

[spring lantern]

i dont think most people really care about doing specific things like that

[clear mason]

Yeah but if you get used to it you can just do it without hesitation which is what I'm getting at

[plush cove]

what's the best way I can make a script that goes into each of my mods and automatically does "git pull" if it has a .git folder?

[languid mirage]

on windows?

[plush cove]

yes

[languid mirage]

windows cmd supports IF so

[clear mason]

..oh

I got excited already

[tall wharf]

perkeo buff

[clear mason]

does windows support posix sh?

[paper zealot]

Real convenience is not needing to roll your own brittle solution to this problem at all, and to have it handled by your OS

[plush cove]

(and if a script like this already does exist can you point me in the direction of it)

[languid mirage]

could probably do like

FOR /d %%f IN (*) DO (
    cd %%f

    if exist .git\ (
        git pull
    )
    cd ../
)

[clear mason]

"real convenience is not thinking, but letting corporations think for you and pay them money for it!"

[tall wharf]

oh my god is that stupxd on git hub

[languid mirage]

copied a script I made the other day for cleaning up some files

[paper zealot]

Yes, that is almost the textbook definition of convenience. Not needing to fix your own self-created problems because someone else has considered them decades prior and fixed them for you

[clear mason]

holy shit windows shell is ass

[tall wharf]

i get brutally killed

[clear mason]

Problem is that not every problem has a pre-built solution, and if you only rely on convenience you will be less satisfied

[clear mason]

actually I get why people don't want to use shell now, damn

[languid mirage]

it's kinda ass yeah, but I'm just happy it at the very least supports conditional statements

[clear mason]

funny because IIRC git uses like a minimal unix environment because windows terminal is nonexistent

[languid mirage]

yeah

tbf I think you can do a bit more with powershell, but I never really learned that either

[clear mason]

alse here I am standing, realizing I probably needed a different query to get a GNU find tldr

[languid mirage]

never had the need

[clear mason]

IMO even if use non-posix-compliant shell for user interaction, at least use fish

At least fish has actual features and isn't microsoft branded bash

like pressing F1 while typing a command actually opens its manpage which is first funny but also genuinely useful

this is like the only time I actually use F1

or alt-s which adds/removes sudo to last/current command

Or interactive autocompletion

now compare that to powershell and weep

power in powershell stands for electrocution because that's as much torture as you get by working with powershell

[plush cove]

all this is doing is writing out the command and not actually doing it

[paper zealot]

Do call git pull

[clear mason]

oh exec is call in windows

[clear mason]

while on linux you can just

for subdir in ~/.config/love/Mods/*/.git; do git -C $subdir pull&; done

also does it async

[plush cove]

update: turns out I was using this wrong, and it was in fact actually working lmao

thank you for the useful script, I will definitely be using it!

[orchid scaffold]

how do I make a custom rarity, the wiki's documentation information is really scarce

[iron iron]

does this seem right to yall

[frosty dock]

replace context.individual with context.main_scoring and the effect arg doesn't exist anymore (but you're not using it so that's fine ig), rest looks good

[iron iron]

SMODS.Rarity {
loc_txt = {
name = 'rarity_name'
},
badge_colour = 'COLOR_IN_HEX',
default_weight = value (affects how often this rarity appears in shop)
}

unclear on what the exact values for the weights are though

[tall wharf]

letter pack theme 2???

[daring fern]

How does one make a joker only trigger on a card once regardless of retriggers?

[tall tangle]

@random sleet, are Sand Cards part of your mod?

[wintry solar]

No they’re ortalab

[tall tangle]

Oh okay, because the Sand Joker only upgrades once regardless of retriggers.

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure it says per played cards rather than scored right?

[tall tangle]

Yep

So could you help this guy out with how to make a Joker trigger on play not on score?

[wintry solar]

Look at sandstone joker

[daring fern]

Okay.

[wintry solar]

Without more detail on what the intended effect is I can’t really provide much more help

[daring fern]

It is supposed to give mult and chips at the earliest part in the scoring.

[wintry solar]

Per card?

[daring fern]

No, only at the start.

[wintry solar]

So a joker that adds some chips and mult before the cards are scored?

[daring fern]

Basically yes.

[wintry solar]

You’ll have to inject your own context for that, we don’t have one supported

[daring fern]

How would one go about doing that?

[gleaming zealot]

ball so hard

[spring lantern]

remind me what the proper use of calculate_effect is

[orchid scaffold]

im stuck can someone help me ive been trying to solve this error

[manic rune]

probably an error from exotic jokers

[orchid scaffold]

ye ive check my code and referenced some popular mods but it still wouldnt work

[manic rune]

oh, its your mod?

[maiden phoenix]

Cryptid doesn't show up in the mod list lol

[orchid scaffold]

omg im so stupid i forgot to add a description 💀

[halcyon osprey]

what are the variables for checking deck size and adding money and such

[orchid scaffold]

what is a pool, its not documented in the steamodded documentation

[red flower]

a pool is a list of objects available

[orchid scaffold]

i know its like a objects that can be picked from but how do i make one

[red flower]

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

[orchid scaffold]

thanks

[halcyon osprey]

meow

[red flower]

deck size is #G.deck.cards and for adding money you use ease_dollars

[manic rune]

how do i add hands and it also shows the "+1" pop up thingy in the Hands counter too

[red flower]

ease_hands_played i believe

[bold sleet]

henlo good peploe. Is there a way to like, support modded jokers and entries for this?

[manic rune]

i think you can refer to your modded jokers there too

G.P_CENTERS.j_(your mod syntax)_(stuff)

could be wrong tho

[bold sleet]

tried

will try again just in case

[red flower]

should be the same, yeah

[bold sleet]

ok it works

ty

[glad osprey]

are you able to change the scale of playing cards

like how wee joker is just on a playing card

[bold sleet]

Uh... try making the sprite itself smaller in the atlas.

[glad osprey]

that's the boring way

[long urchin]

alright, back to the ol grindstone

where was the thing someone said to me

[red flower]

I don't remember rn but I think dimserene's pack edits that too, maybe you can ask them

[long urchin]

this here lemme try this

[manic rune]

i hate autofill.

[waxen mesa]

ok, time to fix a new bug

[long urchin]

i think i might just be stupid

[red flower]

crew_ not just crew

in the string

[long urchin]

OH

no thats the name of the file

do i need to change it to 'crew_crew8bitdeck'?

[red flower]

probably, that's what zamos was saying anyway

[waxen mesa]

i suspect something is wrong with this here, any tips

[red flower]

colours should be G.C.GREEN and G.C.RED unless those are variables

[manic rune]

you should uhh do something to remove the yellow line from SMODS

i forgot what its called

:(

but its just a visual thing, so you can just ignore that

[waxen mesa]

i mean i would prefer if the lines would say me that something actually is wrong instead of just unnessearily try to catch my attention like modern youtube thumbnails

[lament agate]

spelling problem

Ctrl + Shift + M

[waxen mesa]

ok didnt work but thanks for the tip

[bold sleet]

idk why it does that.

[frosty dock]

it does that because you don't have smods in your workspace

[manic rune]

i assume you do something like this?

(ignore everything, except for the "Lua.workspace.library" part)

[waxen mesa]

🤔

i assume thats not really the same?

[waxen mesa]

can only find a git hub file, not something related to .vscode

[frosty dock]

you can just open your mods folder in full

[waxen mesa]

here, thats it

[frosty dock]

that is not in your mods folder

[waxen mesa]

you mean that?

also found this thing here

[frosty dock]

I'm saying you can open the Mods folder instead of just the BalatroMod folder in vscode and then smods will be in your workspace

[paper zealot]

If you right-click on that left panel, you can add additional folders to the workspace with this:

[gilded blaze]

how do I render unlock condition text for custom decks 💀

[tepid crow]

define an unlock_condition

(at least, that's how the base game does it)

[gilded blaze]

I was asking how to render the text

unlock condition is already specified

[tepid crow]

custom unlock condition text?

[gilded blaze]

win the previous deck shown in any difficulty

as least based on vanilla

basically custom text

[waxen mesa]

Ok, why does it say there is a nil value despite there objectively not being a nil value?

[gilded blaze]

because it doesn't render vanilla

I've tried multiple stuff, from just unlock, to unlock containing just text, to unlock containing name and text

💀 painge

[tepid crow]

why do you need custom unlock text?

[gilded blaze]

Idk

the game refuses to render vanilla

[tepid crow]

just set the unlock stuff properly and it should work

    unlocked = false,
    unlock_condition = {type = 'win_deck', deck = 'b_red'},

[gilded blaze]

already

[halcyon osprey]

Soo how do i add money?

[gilded blaze]

wait

[halcyon osprey]

i have no clue how to use the ease_dollars

[gilded blaze]

unlock_condition is a separate variable?

[tepid crow]

not in the config 😭

[gilded blaze]

damn, I got trolled by vanilla

[red flower]

ease_dollars(amount)

[tepid crow]

you say that like vanilla has the unlock condition in the config ..., config = {}, unlock_condition = {type = 'win_deck', deck = 'b_black'}

[gilded blaze]

I saw the text in vanilla as unlock_condition staying inside config

for some fcking reason

[tepid crow]

rip

you figured it out tho, all good

[gilded blaze]

this is my very first mod minus VietnameseBalatro and LocFixer tho

those don't count because they're all localization-related

[halcyon osprey]

okay so, i want it to be at the end end where you get your money, and to be the total number of your deck

[waxen mesa]

can someone say where i do find "ref_table" in the documentation?

[tepid crow]

is this happening because of a localization file or because of a localization function?

[red flower]

oh if you're doing it in calculate you can return { dollars = amount } and it will have better timing

[frosty dock]

context.starting_shop?

[tepid crow]

I think she* wants it to be on the cashout screen?

[waxen mesa]

i added a loc-text in this case, but it doesnt seem to have something to do with that at all

[red flower]

she*

[frosty dock]

as for the total number of cards in deck, #G.playing_cards

[halcyon osprey]

yeah

[frosty dock]

on cashout screen isn't a context that exists

[tepid crow]

Try to reproduce the error with the minimal amount of code, that should help you narrow it down; if you still cant figure it out then, feel free to post that small amount here in chat

[red flower]

use this instead of calculate

[waxen mesa]

i mean, i am a beginner, this is pretty much as minimal as i can have it.

Btw where do i find ref_table in the documentation?

[frosty dock]

what about ref_table??

that doesn't mean anything by itself

[tepid crow]

what's the code? 🤔

I love misspelling emojis and then pressing enter

[waxen mesa]

it finds "nil" in ref_table, and i need to put something in it i guess

[frosty dock]

it's used in different places throughout game code to mark a "reference table"

[halcyon osprey]

i think im dum

[tepid crow]

that's a function signature, not a definition

a function signature has the name, arguments, and return type(s)

[red flower]

so you want something like

calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
  return amount
end

[rapid stag]

...this is a (custom) undiscovered legendary. i remember before when i added custom legendaries, it had the standard undiscovered legendary text "Find this Joker from the Soul card" but now it's the standard joker undiscovered joker text? how do i fix this?

also @wintry solar, does this undiscovered joker graphic have a key for malverk replacement or like locked jokers, is that also not planned? answered: as of writing, it's a planned future malverk feature

[waxen mesa]

ok so i commented a bunch of stuff in and it fixed the crash at the start

now it crashes when i hover over the booster

[tepid crow]

Yayyyy

just post your code here haha

[halcyon osprey]

starting shop would be when you hit the cash out button

correct?

[rapid stag]

oh right, i was also asking if anyone knew what function gets called at the start of a shop phase
