[turbid maple]

I have finally stitched together a shitty solution to render a custom love2d texture as sprite of a joker now I can do stupid things

[red flower]

boosters go in descriptions.Other

[halcyon osprey]

I want my joker to dissapear when you press the cashout button

[red flower]

they also start with p_

[turbid maple]

is end of round not sufficient do you need it to be after cashout

[halcyon osprey]

For visual sakes, i want to press the cashout button

right now i have it like this, which didnt work

[turbid maple]

feels like you'd need to patch in a custom context for that

[waxen mesa]

i assume like this, still does crash

[halcyon osprey]

i mean i can make it dissapear in the cashout screen but it looked weird

[manic rune]

send in the 98%.

[hushed briar]

anyone happen to know how to force blind score requirements to update on the blind selection screen? i have an effect that can change the ante on that screen but the score requirements dont update until you enter the blind

[waxen mesa]

ok it seems to give now a different error but still the same

[red flower]

what's the code

[red flower]

oh it's not descriptions, it's text

these i mean

[tepid crow]

also a table of strings instead of a string I believe

[red flower]

i recommend reading this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[halcyon osprey]

So how do i Fix up Blueprint shenanigans?

[waxen mesa]

how the heck did i came to descriptions lol

[halcyon osprey]

because a bunch of my jokers, Work with blueprint, but its a bit buggy

[manic rune]

probablyyyy because of the "not context.blueprint" preventing some effects from being able to be copied?

just taking a guess ❤️

[halcyon osprey]

i dont have any blueprint context

all i have is blueprint_compact = true

and it does things kinda

[manic rune]

i think its just for letting blueprints have the "COMPATIBLE" text under it green or red

[waxen mesa]

Thanks man this crashed my game the whole time

[waxen mesa]

I mean I really did but somehow I didn't found the solution in it

[tepid crow]

so it's all good now?

[halcyon osprey]

No it does like actually make them do things

Just its a lil messed up with some of my jokers

[waxen mesa]

Probably because I mostly searched "what do I have to put into localisation" in the other object types

[waxen mesa]

Yeah, just need to figure out how to give the strings those fancy colors, but that shouldn't be as aggravating

[halcyon osprey]

so i assume its context.blueprint and not.context.blueprint?

[manic rune]

having "not context.blueprint" in your if statement will prevent blueprints from being able to copy the effects inside it

soo manually adding context.blueprint shouldnt do anything, pretty sure

[red flower]

adding it makes it only work when it's being copied

[waxen mesa]

doesnt look complicated, but where do i find out what number does what color?

[halcyon osprey]

its namely things with messages and such

[glad osprey]

someone pin this PLEASE

[manic rune]

you can just check it in balatro's code...

[glad osprey]

no

[manic rune]

oh wait, is that in smods

[glad osprey]

yes

[red flower]

no

[manic rune]

i see SMODS down there

[glad osprey]

the pseudo is i think

[red flower]

smods patches it but the other ones are vanilla

[waxen mesa]

[glad osprey]

well still that needs to be pinned

[red flower]

I should learn how to make a vscode extension for it

[glad osprey]

I would be greatly appriative if you did that

(i would owe you my first and second born child)

[manic rune]

appriative :3

[glad osprey]

you have star rail in your nickname shush

[manic rune]

:(

[glad osprey]

:)

[manic rune]

mean

[waxen mesa]

XD

[glad osprey]

friend: "hey what's that word for finding the average of a set of numbers?"
me:

[manic rune]

i will turn you into a common joker.

[glad osprey]

do it

make me a joker

[manic rune]

draw me a sheep

[glad osprey]

sand me a man

[manic rune]

wha

[glad osprey]

hit on the 7th beat

[tall perch]

status real

[glad osprey]

what the fuck is your status

the last part

[manic rune]

🚋 gender

[tall perch]

Im in heat

Mrow

[glad osprey]

ah

[tall perch]

cant help it sorry

[glad osprey]

understandable

[manic rune]

justified reaction

[glad osprey]

anyways SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY DECK RENDER PLEASE

[tall perch]

reasonable response

[glad osprey]

I wanna have a deck that renders with multiple layers like a legendary

[manic rune]

oh, so decks with souls?

[glad osprey]

it renders like a soul yes

[manic rune]

i havent worked on decks before so good luck :3

[manic rune]

baron

[glad osprey]

I'm trying to make the card on a different layer but nothing I've done works

unless I load the mod with cryptid for some reason

[manic rune]

you could make cryptid mandatory to load your rmod ❤️

[glad osprey]

rmod

:3

[manic rune]

dsghghhh

i shall crash out

[glad osprey]

no

you help me first

[manic rune]

cant help with decks sorry

:3

[glad osprey]

it's not really helping with a deck just the rendering of the deck

[manic rune]

-# the fact you are struggling so much with decks actually makes me worried about making one now

[glad osprey]

ITS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE DECK GODDAMIT

THE DECK WORKS PERFECTLY FINE

[manic rune]

:3

[glad osprey]

ITS JUST GETTING IT TO RENDER IN MULTIPLE LAYERS IS THE ISSUE

[dim lynx]

Inside voices

[manic rune]

i dont know how to do that 😭

im bad at uis

i think you can ask the ui men, 🧙 and N' for help with that

[glad osprey]

THIS IS MY INSIDE VOICE

[dim lynx]

Big house huh

[glad osprey]

no I'm just very loud

[manic rune]

apollo justice

[red flower]

never done graphics stuff

[manic rune]

oof

[red flower]

i mean i would just look at the code with how cards do it and apply it to the top card of the deck probably

[crisp coral]

Use SMODS.DrawStep

[glad osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-yachty-censored-not-drake-tech-support-gif-8658410013845332703

[crisp coral]

Cryptid implements floating sprite 2 for the extra layer

[manic rune]

censoring drake is crazy 😭 (he deserves it)

[glad osprey]

interesting

I have no clue what I'm doing with drawstep tho

[crisp coral]

insert read the fucking docs gif

[glad osprey]

I HAVR

IT DOESNF EXLAPIN SHOT

[manic rune]

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

[glad osprey]

GRAHHHHHH

[manic rune]

and thus, it has been summoned

[stuck seal]

Yeah, SMODS wiki sux

Time to read the source code!

[crisp coral]

its in the file mentioned in the page

[stuck seal]

Use the examples given on the github, they usually explain a lot more by actually coding stuff

[glad osprey]

I'm gonna fucking 5! you

[glad osprey]

there's nothing for this case specifically (atleast I didn't see anything)

[manic rune]

im actually really good at that mechanic in rhythm doctor 😭

thanks for that :3

[glad osprey]

fuck you .5 tick oneshots

[stuck seal]

Let me repeat myself: Source code time!

[glad osprey]

where am I supposed to look

[stuck seal]

https://tenor.com/view/veeunus-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-squidward-done-gif-24674884

[glad osprey]

smods or balatros

[crisp coral]

wait im not in medical floor

[stuck seal]

Balatros, for this case the love engine might be consulted tho

[manic rune]

i hate the uhhhhhhhh

dj guy mechanic, i forgot the name 😭

[glad osprey]

I have looked at balatros, the way it handles soul cards is interesting bcus i think it just grabs the sprite from the original joker sheet or smth

also it just doesn't work for decks which I have zero clue why

then again I am a bit silly

[crisp coral]

oh right decks aren't cards

lmao

[stuck seal]

Decks use a different atlas, the enhancers one I believe

[crisp coral]

actually is card.children.back a thing

[stuck seal]

I am not sure, I am not very educated on the card class. Need to look at the card.lua file every 2 lines of code

[red flower]

card.children.back is the card back yes

[crisp coral]

then... card. children.back.children.floating_sprite????

[wintry solar]

Planned for a future update along with locked sprites

[rapid stag]

i see, thank you

[bold sleet]

hi squid, what is up with the rd references? Why do you want someone to experience a 2-2?

[glad osprey]

one person here was also in the rd discord

[crisp coral]

who

[manic rune]

myst?

[glad osprey]

you too

[manic rune]

:3

i hate when my pc got a notification then the key just decided to not register at all

[gilded blaze]

how do I modify booster pack slots
I could learn Cryptid's way but it would take too long

my third deck choice (wip but almost finished) has +1 booster pack slot

[old bane]

for a second i thought you were talking about inside a booster pack but you mean how many booster packs are in the shop

[manic rune]

first filled page......

it looks so beautiful

❤️

[old bane]

do i have to declare draw steps in order

cause i keep on getting errors that say "attempted to index a nil field" even though I literally defined the step rightt here

[glad osprey]

those minecraft realistic resource packs i hate:

[manic rune]

its placeholder sprites 😭

[glad osprey]

make sure you have the latest version of smods

[pale temple]

how can you do this

is this even possible

💀

[manic rune]

what does H, L mean

[pale temple]

holo, lucky

[stuck seal]

What in tarnation

[pale temple]

basically every ability in that card

[manic rune]

...isnt that just dna's code

very much possible if thats the case

[pale temple]

no i want it to work like blueprint

[red flower]

without converting seems hard, maybe just converting temporarily

[manic rune]

oh wait

ohhhh, so you mean that the K works as if its a holo and lucky card?

[pale temple]

yeah

[manic rune]

you could do like what N' said, temporarily converting its enhancement and edition to the left card for the played hand and changes it back afterwards

that will save a lot of time

[pale temple]

can you do that without changing its appearance

[manic rune]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@red flower (sorry for pinging beforehand 😭), what happens if you change the card's edition key directly, like card.edition.key = "e_negative", does it also change its appearance

[red flower]

no idea

[manic rune]

lemme experiment rq

[azure flower]

hey idk if this is the right chat to ask in but
Im trying to import the edited card art i made back into balatro (via 7zip) but it wont let me and says
"A file cant be created if it already exists"
and like
idk why that happens- i just wanna import my silly card art :c

[maiden phoenix]

Just use set_edition?

[manic rune]

that would change the appearance of the card

[stuck seal]

Js make a backup of the original .exe then store that in a different folder, delete the original, then try again

[manic rune]

im wondering if you can change the card's edition for calculation to work with, without changing the card's appearance

[hushed field]

you could check how the quantum enhancements work, and see if that's easily ported to editions

[stuck seal]

If you don't wanna make a backup then don't. Steam can reinstall the .exe

[azure flower]

Okay so like
If I understand correctly
Make backup .exe file.. delete the original and try putting my card art in the backup...?
Sorry if i dont fully understand what you mean-

[manic rune]

nope, doesnt seem to do anything

hm

[stuck seal]

No, you need to repack the code via 7zip, then rename the balatro.7z to balatro.exe

Js make sure to get rid of the original or put it somewhere else

[manic rune]

am i silly for making random ass functions like this :3

[azure flower]

aight imma try

[stuck seal]

If this doesn't work, I believe the people in #🎨・fan-art can help. If not then there's always tutorials on google

So no rush

[azure flower]

alright thank u <3

[stuck seal]

You're welcome <3

[old bane]

help my boss blind no worky for whatever reason

[azure flower]

didnt work-
or i did smth wrong-
idk imma just
try to see if anyone else has advice lol

still thank u sm tho :3

[stuck seal]

Np

[manic rune]

i feel like card.area == G.jokers is wrong, wait

[old bane]

yeah idk

are there context.cardarea in boss blinds lmao

[stuck seal]

Bad coder vibes xD

[long urchin]

what do i do :?

[manic rune]

this is what i did to debuff jokers

but uh, it explictly checks if the card is in the Joker set, so if for example, something that is from a different set like Consumables get into there then they wont be debuffed

[long urchin]

1x and 2x are the same i know, and heres my code

i dont see what i did wrong can someone help :(

[zealous glen]

Idk what you’re trying to do but check Spinagogue Champion from Cosmos

[old bane]

y'know what, disable all negatives

[pale temple]

💀

[manic rune]

shouldnt it be
if card:get_edition() and card.edition.key == "e_negative"?

[manic rune]

uhh, its related to the person's question above my messages

they wanted to make it so that a playing card can copy the enhancements and editions of the left one, without changing its appearance i think

[zealous glen]

Enhancements is built into SMODS

[zealous glen]

But I think a way to do everything is to create a copy of the card offscreen, then use the copy to calculate, except put the messages on the King

[manic rune]

oh, thats certainly a way

[old bane]

still causes issues wth

[red flower]

what's the code

[long urchin]

The boo?

[old bane]

this is the code that crashes apparentyl

this is the boss blind

[red flower]

hard to know without knowing what the variables are

[manic rune]

...oh actually, dont you need loc_txt?

[old bane]

i have a localization file

[manic rune]

oh

hm

[stuck seal]

L-L-L LINE 2725????

[azure flower]

i thought i just got it to work via tutorial but now just this happened

[manic rune]

its balatro's code lmfao

[old bane]

yerp, not my code btw

[stuck seal]

On nvm, then that's nothing

[manic rune]

but my jokers.lua already surpassed that :3

[red flower]

can you post a bit more of the log

[manic rune]

i think its a good practice to just ctrl + c the crash log and paste it here

[long urchin]

Jesus

[manic rune]

its easier to debug that way

[old bane]

idk how long it is so im just posting the txt

either way you can see it

[stuck seal]

Goddam, although that brings me to the question, how do you configure multiple files for a mod? Like you do, one for joker, one for blinds, etc.?

[manic rune]

ive been working on my mod, a lot

[manic rune]

you can put this in your main.lua

it will load the file :D

[old bane]

or this:

local path = SMODS.current_mod.path..'src/'
for _,v in pairs(NFS.getDirectoryItems(path)) do
    assert(SMODS.load_file('src/'..v))()
end

so you can load multiple files from the src folder

[manic rune]

so even if its only been a few weeks since i worked on my mod, i made a shit ton of progress ❤️

oh crap i swore

[old bane]

ogh noooos

[red flower]

only if you dont care about load order

[old bane]

true

[stuck seal]

Thank you! Is there a wiki page or explanation somewhere? Cuz I'd like to know abt the function and those mysterious brackets at the end

[long urchin]

I've been trying to work on mine but the smods api for custom cards is impossible to understand

[red flower]

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

[manic rune]

i actually like doing this more, it gives me more control over the ordering stuff :3

[old bane]

but also where's the person who implemented like at least four boss blinds into their mod i wanna know how they did it

cause idk what is causing the issue

[manic rune]

thats

not very helpful at all, a lot of mods do that 😭

but maybe aikoyori is your person?

[stuck seal]

Ahh thank you! I'm a little new to lua, so I am not sure what assert does, but I'll js ctrl+c and ctrl+v for now

[manic rune]

its all good :D

[old bane]

assert makes it so that if there are errors the game doesn't just sweep them under the rug

[stuck seal]

Basically try and catch

[old bane]

exactly

[red flower]

oh are you making a blind that's not a boss?

[stuck seal]

Is there a main function so to speak in smods? Because so far I haven't found anything of the like

[manic rune]

oh, additionally, if you have files in a folder instead, then you need to do this: (I HATE MY GRAMARRRARSAR)

"folder name"/"file name".lua

[old bane]

im making a regular boss blind

not a showdown

but also not a regular blind

[stuck seal]

That's a weird / placement, but okie

[manic rune]

i dont know how to speak english :(

[stuck seal]

Same

[pale temple]

this sounds complicated

eitherthat or i haven't read the api much

[azure flower]

..(okay i simply messed up and used the non pixel smoothing version as replacement of the pixel smoothing one oop)

[red flower]

hmm weird because the code should always turn that variable into a number, maybe there's something missing in the blind definition

[manic rune]

as long as you dont put it in any area, it should be easy, i think

since it wont have any place to be rendered

[stuck seal]

Sorry, I just have like 2 mods of experience rn, so you'll have to be patient with me

[stuck seal]

Congrats

[manic rune]

main function?

[stuck seal]

Yeah, one that SMODS calls in the main file you configure, or do I not need to specify one?

[red flower]

i think that puts it in the corner of the screen

[manic rune]

god damn it

😭

[old bane]

i just followed the example of cryptid's shackle but since they have more integrated functions it's a lot different (they also make everything an "ObjectType" and then sets the type to Blind but whatevs)

[long urchin]

heres the error code

[manic rune]

...i might be dumb for not knowing what you are talking about, can you specify it 😭 (IM SORRY)

[red flower]

i never use cryptid as a base because they always have some code somewhere else that makes it actually work

[old bane]

ye

[manic rune]

a lot of lovely patches

[long urchin]

that may be my problem lol

[old bane]

if i do this tho it just crashes :(

[long urchin]

i used another card reskin as a base but like it seems i just am missing something

but like theres only 4 files in the entire mod - the two images, the lua, and the json

[stuck seal]

So when smods calls and executes the main file, it injects the smods.Joker and such stuff into the main game code right? So I wanted to ask, if I specify multiple files like assert(SMODS.load_file("myfile.lua")() where do I puit that? Just in the file or is there a function to put it in?

[pale temple]

ok yeah the whole idea is this

[manic rune]

you can just put that in main.lua

[azure flower]

thank u :3

[stuck seal]

Without any function?

[manic rune]

if i had to explain it in simple terms,

what SMODS.load_file does is just putting all the code from that file into main.lua

[stuck seal]

convert the left card... into the right card...

[old bane]

DEATH COMES UPON YE

[gritty horizon]

Is there a good tutorial for getting started making mods somewhere, couldn't find it in pins or anywhere else?

[manic rune]

goddamn it, wait

[red flower]

bepis do ur thing

[pale temple]

inspired by the grim reaper himself

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod
this should give you some instructions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&t=7s
the video is a bit oudated, but generally does well at telling you what to do
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/EditionExamples/EditionExamples.lua
its a good practice to check out the example mods, as well as other mods too for reference
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions
on top of that, remember to read the documentation

[stuck seal]

Oh that would make things easier then. Alr I'll give it a shot and if it doesn't work, I'll just complain on here

[gritty horizon]

thank you

[manic rune]

no problem :D

[red flower]

this is my main file if you need reference https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/JoyousSpring.lua

[manic rune]

(i really should start making some tutorial videos on better calc lol)

actually

should i specify that in the video, and in calculate, they called cards "center"?

[red flower]

maybe

[manic rune]

thats how i got the terms all mixed up when i first started 💀

[red flower]

i know what a center is but i dont know why it's called that

[stuck seal]

Thank you, having reference is such a huge bonus

[manic rune]

hence, this

😭

[stuck seal]

I really appreciate the help here from ya'll, thanks

[manic rune]

welp, i will fix it for later reposts

[dire palm]

So, I know that I can show the definition of Negative next to the description of my joker by using

        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative --adds "Negative"'s description next to this card's description
    end,```
But this is the one that says `+1 Joker Slot`. How can I get the Negative definition that says `+1 hand size`?

[pale temple]

ok i lookedf at blueprint's code and maybe there's a way to calculate the card to the target

copium

[manic rune]

im pretty sure thats only for jokers, unfortunately

[stuck seal]

Oh no, not the center thing. Not even the source code helps me understand that shit

[red flower]

{key = 'e_negative_playing_card', set = 'Edition', config = {extra = 1}}

i think

[pale temple]

copium intake was too high

[manic rune]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

[long urchin]

does anyone know how to use the steammodded custom deck reskin api?

[pale temple]

yeah im out of ideas maybe i'll pass on this jonkler for now

(i barely know lua apart from that one time i messed with roblox studio)

[long urchin]

im trying to make a friends of jimbo deck but theres something wrong with my mod and the website isnt really helping i dont think

[manic rune]

i messed with roblox studio for 2 years, thats how i got around with modding so quickly 😭

• this community being extremely helpful too :3

[old bane]

i still keep getting crashes >_< i think i know what's going on but it might have to do with source code nonsense that i don't really wanna discuss here at all

but idk why it would cause issues when clearly it hasn't caused issues for vanilla blinds

[manic rune]

huh??

😭

[stuck seal]

Thank you @manic rune and @red flower I got it to work

[manic rune]

nice :D

[stuck seal]

Although I am likely not making many additions, so I'll keep me files to a minimum

[pale temple]

choose 1 out of 5 invisible jokers

this feels more feasible

[manic rune]

i dont think the [Drag to rearrange] is necessary, but yeah

[long urchin]

i like that

[pale temple]

it's for the continuity with the mod

[manic rune]

oh i see

[manic rune]

🔥

[pale temple]

basically a free death every round

this one wont be as complicated as the copy ability thing i just need to get the hang of the api lol

[long urchin]

can someone help with my situation please

[manic rune]

i dont know about decks, sorry :(

[long urchin]

its not making a custom deck its card reskins

like the friends of jimbo stuff

[manic rune]

-# the same goes with that 😭

[long urchin]

lol

alr sorry

[manic rune]

no its fine, i kinda misremembered your question as decks

[glad osprey]

the cooler death:

[long urchin]

its basically a death each round

[manic rune]

decided to uhhh rework this thingy

probably looks cleaner now ❤️

and i can still manually change the ordering

[old bane]

bepis how did you do blinds

im genuinely struggling here

idk why my code isn't working

[manic rune]

its a simple one

i will be honest, i dont know what you are doing wrong too 😭

[old bane]

because i've done my blind so similarly to other blind

[manic rune]

SMODS.Blind{
    key = 'Test',
    loc_txt = {
       name = 'YOU ARE FUCKEDDDDDD',
       text = {
          'All Jokers are debuffed.'
       }
    },
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 0.1,
    boss_colour = HEX('C8831B'),
    boss = {min = 10, max = 10, showdown = true},
 
    recalc_debuff = function(self,card,from_blind)
       if card.ability.set == 'Joker' then return true end
    end
}

heres my blind's code

(does this count as swearing)

[old bane]

idk

[manic rune]

can you try pasting allat in place of your blind

to see if it works

if it still doesnt work then its probably smods changing how blinds are implemented (unlikely) at this point

[old bane]

so it's not just me

cause that crashed too

[manic rune]

💀

[old bane]

maybe i need to update again

[manic rune]

maybeee update your smods?

[old bane]

my smods

[manic rune]

my smods version is also ancient lmfao

[long urchin]

I FIGURED IT OUT

i jsut

[long urchin]

used a different mod lol

[stuck seal]

Little do you know my playing cards give 2^128 mult and chips

[manic rune]

im debuffing playing cards too.

[stuck seal]

WAIT NO HOLD ON

[manic rune]

in fact, im debuffing ALL ui buttons

so you cant even press anything

[old bane]

okay there we go
(ignore the chip, i need to make art again)

[hushed field]

your debuffing buttons? I didn't even know that was an option

[manic rune]

it isnt, but you can probably fuck up the buttons so badly they wont function lol

[manic rune]

i feel like the text is a bit too small

[stuck seal]

Excuse me what? Are you telling me you can debuff buttons?

[manic rune]

i love making up words

❤️

[stuck seal]

Jesus christ ma guy, gave me a heart attack there

[red flower]

you can hook the button enable function and make them always be disabled

[manic rune]

:3

silly idea for a boss blind: reverse the functions of Play Hand and Discard buttons

[stuck seal]

You are evil

But what I'm stewing here might also hurt

[manic rune]

wait, i have an even more silly idea:
1/2 to reverse the functions of Play Hand and Discard buttons when each is pressed

[stuck seal]

But for now I need help, what does from_blind in recalc_debuff do?

[manic rune]

so for instance, if you press Play Hand

it has 1/2 to discard, and 1/2 to play

:3

[stuck seal]

Monster

But I like it

[manic rune]

@tall wharf :3

[stuck seal]

I challenge you to do it

[manic rune]

im working on a not-so-silly mod sadly 😭

[tall wharf]

i like it

but i am stopping myself from adding more blinds

[stuck seal]

Time to make another simply for the sake of being silly

[manic rune]

oh yeah, i forgor

[tall wharf]

putting cruel blinds to shame

[stuck seal]

Since ya'll like making blinds so much, can ya help me?

[manic rune]

i dont know about blinds that much despite me discussing about them a lot lmfao

[stuck seal]

That's... a lot of blinds I see

[manic rune]

im actually not sure about what from_blind is myself

never used it before

[tall wharf]

those are cryptid's

[red flower]

I'm guessing I have to patch this if I want my tag to conserve it's ability table....

i hate patching

[manic rune]

not patching...

😭

[glad osprey]

um actually the entirety of modding is patching

[manic rune]

what if theres a mod which has NOTHING in main.lua, but all of their jokers are added through lovely patches

[manic rune]

i love that gradient blind (i forgot its name 😭)

[tall wharf]

which one

[manic rune]

its my favorite gradient coincidentally lmfao

[tall wharf]

the arrow or the zigzag

[manic rune]

this one

[tall wharf]

the Expiry

[manic rune]

oh yeah

the debuff all consumables one

[tall wharf]

permanently

[manic rune]

yes, gotta emphasize that too

[stuck seal]

Is there a way to get repetition context from within the recalc_debuff?

or any context for that matter

[tall wharf]

no

blinds don't have calculate function

[stuck seal]

Can I get it from the G object?

[manic rune]

[old bane]

how do i get the score a hand would make, because I'm trying to make it so that you can't score more than 50% of the required score in the first hand and my current implementation doesn't work >_<

(even if i return true it doesn't work)

[manic rune]

oh yeah, fucked up the logic a bit (it chose 3 different cards, so it should give 3 hands), lemme fix rq

[tall wharf]

@manic rune@manic rune@manic rune IT WORKS

[manic rune]

wha

[manic rune]

what works :0

🔥

epic

[old bane]

imagine getting screwed over because you decided to play a high card

[stuck seal]

That's amazing

[manic rune]

this is much more lenient than your other blinds honestly 😭

[stuck seal]

the heck

How are you guys so talentend TwT

[tall wharf]

i mean

[old bane]

i steal code from other people and then modify it to suit my needs

[tall wharf]

can you read my code

[tall wharf]

i know some coding before

[manic rune]

aiko can draw, code, AND make music

[tall wharf]

i am not that talented wtf

[manic rune]

im on my knees aikoyori

[stuck seal]

Same but like

[stuck seal]

The music part is one which I have yet to attempt

[manic rune]

im forever glazing aiko 😭

[glad osprey]

i stg this stupid deck thing is gonna make me put a hole through my desk using my head

[old bane]

also for this i tried seeing what Cryptid did for "The Tax" but they used a lovely patch LMAO

[manic rune]

i have so many quality of life functions in my mod, i might as well make an entirely different file for just them

😭

[old bane]

new API incoming

[manic rune]

im still proud of this one the most though

i actually didnt know i could pull it off 💀

[old bane]

highkey might start making modules for my mod because i want to keep a certain level of sanctity

like i want the base mod to be just color splash

[manic rune]

the ONLY thing keeping this from being absolutely perfect is allowing you to implement custom keywords for the code to automatically color parts with that keyword

[old bane]

but if i wanted to i could make a module that was just ttyd jokers and vadges

[tall wharf]

this is the best thing i've done in my mod tbh

[frosty dock]

what the {}{s:0.5} doin'

[manic rune]

i will copy it :3

[manic rune]

oh uh, how i color stuff is that i always declare {} at the end of what i want to stop coloring lol

[frosty dock]

I figured as much

[manic rune]

so while people use {s:0.5}aaa, i use {s:0.5}aaa{}

[frosty dock]

not like it matters, the {} just doesn't do anything if there's another control after it

[tall wharf]

ok

[manic rune]

i actually figured out you can do without the {} after i finished that function

[tall wharf]

time to add impostor mechanics

[manic rune]

😭

and it just so coincidentally to be the part where i struggled the most to make it work too

[red flower]

i like having {} it's easier to read imo

[frosty dock]

i mean you could just gsub }{ if you wanted to remove them

[manic rune]

in my defense, its only been about a week or so after i first got into modding that i started working on the function, for absolutely no reason

[manic rune]

same, but i guess its more efficient to just remove the {}

[frosty dock]

meh, I don't think it's easier to read if there's just another set of braces right after

at the end of a line, I don't mind it

[manic rune]

if i were to remove {}, what would i need to do to achieve the same results

im actually a bit confused behind the logic of this

[red flower]

in that case you need it

[old bane]

not for those cases

[manic rune]

oh

[old bane]

more just like

if you have a color right after

[manic rune]

yeah i see

[old bane]

i think i might have to have my boss blind require a lovely patch

[manic rune]

not a lovely patch 😭

[old bane]

i dont know if theres any other way to cap the score

[manic rune]

yet again, another niche function 🗣️

[old bane]

table is Unique

i wonder if you couldve used a set instead

🤔

[manic rune]

this is the entire code without the "c" part lmfao 😭

[tall wharf]

my bosses don't use lovely patches

idk

at least i don't remember making new ones for it

[red flower]

why did i decide to have colors in their names

[tall wharf]

you can never have what you want

[manic rune]

❤️

[tall wharf]

it's the way of life

[manic rune]

hooking time

[red flower]

nah, I'm just going to remove it from the string

[manic rune]

i guess that works too ❤️

[old bane]

oh, mine probably will cause it caps your score at 50% on the first hand

[bold sleet]

Hello. Is there a way to directly add chips to the chips counter instead of doing it through the bonus chips thing?

[tall wharf]

so the tax

[old bane]

yes

[manic rune]

unrelated, but thats a very underwhelming effect ngl 😭

[bold sleet]

It is 0.4 of blind's requirements.

Always.

Scales with antes.

so uh...

[tall wharf]

😭

[bold sleet]

errrrrrrrrr...

wat

[tall wharf]

this is how i hide the default chips

[bold sleet]

^ this dumbass hasn't done a single lovely patch ever and doesn't know how to.

[manic rune]

💀

dang.

[tall wharf]

[manic rune]

noo not teto 😭

[tall wharf]

what is it gonna retrigger dawg

[red flower]

nice

[tall wharf]

🔥

[manic rune]

@tall wharf the ladder :3

[stuck seal]

I'm still pondering, is there a more universal way to get the game context?

[tall wharf]

you mean staircase?

[red flower]

wdym

[manic rune]

dang, you beat me 😭

[tall wharf]

context only exists in calculate functions

[stuck seal]

The calculate function passes the context. But can I get it anywhere else?

[stuck seal]

Source code says that's not the case

[tall wharf]

you will have to hook SMODS.calculate_effect

[red flower]

you can get G.STATE or that ^

[stuck seal]

Hook? Wdym?

[tall wharf]

what is it gonna score

[stuck seal]

G.STATE?

[manic rune]

😭

that looks so goofy, i love it

[red flower]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

oh damn?

hey im having problems with malverk does anyone know how to debug malverk

[tall wharf]

i'd rather you ping me anyway because i will definitely miss it if you don't

[manic rune]

i want to take extra steps to make sure i dont annoy people i talk to ❤️

[stuck seal]

basically, the reason I am asking to get the game context, is because I need to simulate a joker running (don't even ask) and store it's output table, currently I have:

    local output = card:calculate_joker(G.STATE)
    if output.somevalue then return true end
    return false
end

[tall wharf]

it's ok i annoy myself all the time

🔥

[manic rune]

same man 🔥

[primal robin]

Well, time to get back to modding I guess

[manic rune]

unrelated, but you can actually do this when you send your code

print("hello world")

it looks nicer that way :D

[stuck seal]

Gotcha

Need to figure out how to make a gold-looking edition

[manic rune]

fucked up the logic again, but the randomly selects card looks funny ❤️

[stuck seal]

A more coherent example of my problem:

    local output = card:calculate_joker(G.STATE)
    if output.repetitions then return true end
    return false
end

So like, I need a way of knowing if X joker can output X type of value

In my case, if it repeats something

[long urchin]

why does the one on the left work but the one on the right produces this error?

[tall wharf]

FUCK

what did you do bro??????

what did you do 😭

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/zljkfx @tall wharf :3 is this blanaced

[wintry solar]

I really wouldn’t recommend doing this, what are you trying to do exactly?

[stuck seal]

Basically trying to find out if a joker repeats. Like it forces a card in hand, a card in play, or another joker to trigger again

[manic rune]

sooo checking if a joker has context.repetitions?

[worthy sierra]

Hey! I'm curious about the process for creating a mod for the game, but I'm not sure where to start. Was hoping to find some pinned messages in here about some modding resources, but alas :(

Are there any tools/videos/documents that describe the mod creation process that someone more knowledgeable can point me towards? Thanks!

[wintry solar]

You need to use post trigger then

[manic rune]

uh, wait

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod
this should give you some instructions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&t=7s
the video is a bit oudated, but generally does well at telling you what to do
-# (note: there are some parts in the video where they called cards "center". don't do that, it's a bad practice, they are cards)
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/EditionExamples/EditionExamples.lua
its a good practice to check out the example mods, as well as other mods too for reference
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions
on top of that, remember to read the documentation

[wintry solar]

Or maybe the retrigger check

[worthy sierra]

Thank you so much!

[stuck seal]

Yes, thing is I want to disable those on my blind

Where I can't get that context

[manic rune]

yeah uh, you need a patch for that one probably

[stuck seal]

A patch?

[manic rune]

basically, what you need to do is:

• when your blind is on, turn a global var to true
• patch context.repetitions so that if the global var is true, it wont run

[manic rune]

its uhh, adding code to another file, basically

[stuck seal]

There a guide?

[manic rune]

mhm, wait

[stuck seal]

Why would I want to make it not run?

[stuck seal]

Gotcha

[manic rune]

...i thought you want to disable them in your blind?

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

[stuck seal]

Oh right right, I simply wanted to check if it exists, then make it not run in the recalc_debuff

[manic rune]

here

scroll down

[stuck seal]

jesus that looks like effort

[manic rune]

it really is lol

but good luck :D

[icy moat]

Hi guys, I'm working on a blind but somehow the blind disappeared when I select it

Do you guys know what problem this might be from

The blind does appear normal during selection screen but not in the playing screen

[stuck seal]

Okay, I got the just of it. What is the syntax for adding a condition to it?

So it only runs when that global variable is true

[stuck seal]

For me, the cause of this formatting has usually been \n. The way love handles it is different

[quartz ravine]

I finally had a good idea and made palettes of the standard balatro colors.

here they are in gpl format which worksa with like everything

[manic rune]

use whatever you want, but in the end it should have a if not G.GAME["your global var name"] then which whenever context.repetitions is run, it will check

and whenever you want to disable context.repetitions, just set the global var to true

im currently not on my pc so i cant help that much other than outlining what to do, sorry 😭

[icy moat]

was that because of the new line character '\n' in my blind.lua file or the localization file?

[stuck seal]

No problem

[stuck seal]

I mean like, in the .toml file. Because from what I've seen it only patches things, there's no way to add a condition in it

[manic rune]

there is

[stuck seal]

There is?

[manic rune]

you can add your own code inside the file

[stuck seal]

Lua syntax I suppose?

[zealous glen]

bepis saving us with the copypasta

[manic rune]

nnfnfnfn idk how to explain patches properly 😭

[zealous glen]

a condition for what

[stuck seal]

It's alr, I'll do more research on my own

[icy moat]

to me, it's kinda like find and replace string, or insert string into vanilla balatro code

[glad osprey]

how would one change what happens when a card is removed/destroyed

[manic rune]

yeah its basically that, i dunno how to explain in more details though

[zealous glen]

it's like cutting up a newspaper to remove parts or to glue new parts in

[tall tangle]

Known issue with Nopeus (if you have that mod), Blind icons fail to appear.
If you don't have that mod... Idk

[icy moat]

oh so that's what happens

[stuck seal]

The thing is, that would fix the repetition stuff, but I would much rather debuff the jokers. So I somehow need to find the joker's place in the code, and check if it has the repitions

[icy moat]

omg thanks a lot. I've been banging my head against this problem for the last week

[quartz ravine]

Hi guys, I am very happy about this card, mind if I share?

[manic rune]

this channel is where you showcase your modded stuff too, feel free ❤️

[quartz ravine]

I have another one that rewards palindrome hands, and I have to say they were very fun to play

[manic rune]

mmm i have some feedback for this

generally, jokers dont have "." in their description

[hushed field]

oh that's such a clever concept

[manic rune]

and for the "Needs a bigger shell", i suppose that's flavor text?

if so, you should put it at the end of the description instead

[hushed field]

The (currently)'s generally also it's own line, which makes it feel better to not have punctuation

[manic rune]

mhm

[manic rune]

and i personally like making flavor text with {C: inactive} too

so that they wont be confused with the actual effects of the joker

[glad osprey]

actually is there a context for any card being destroyed

[manic rune]

but other than that, its very solid mechanic-wise, but id bump it up to Uncommon as common jokers dont tend to provide Xmult with no downsides

[manic rune]

theres one for playing cards

[glad osprey]

yea that works

[manic rune]

its uhh in the calculate documentation

sorry, im on phone rn so i can't directly find it :(

[glad osprey]

is it destroy_card?????

[manic rune]

yeah, that one

-# isnt it context.destroying_card or smt

[glad osprey]

nvrm it's remove_playing_cards

[manic rune]

oh lol

yeah my bad, im not good at remembering contexts 😭

[quartz ravine]

You know, I never noticed that they don't have punctuation. Also a good idea about the flavor text, I will do both of those!

[stuck geyser]

hey, new here/working on a mod. does anyone have any pointers on how to create new buttons for jokers/cards? like the sell button or use buttons when u click on consumables, but i'd want clicking this new button to do something else.

[quartz ravine]

there is also 'context.destroying_cards'

[manic rune]

highly suggests checking out #1338302514616995892 , the mod does just that :D

[stuck geyser]

thx

[marble flint]

you could also use my mod (https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1338998660372889772) as a dependency (Look at Coin Slot for an example)

[manic rune]

-# this is such a perfect opportunity to plug my mod if i had it released...

[quartz ravine]

Hi folks, I saw a mod that was somehow making the flavor text smaller in their loc_text. I can't find out now, anyone have an example of making flavor text smaller?

[manic rune]

s:0.5

[tall wharf]

@ionic verge https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/main/lovely/selectionlimit.toml

[manic rune]

add that and it will make your text smaller

[ionic verge]

thank youuuuu

[manic rune]

you can also combine it with colors and such too

[glad osprey]

does anyone have any idea at all if I could just block a card from being destroyed

[manic rune]

like, {s:0.5,C:inactive}hi{} works

[ionic verge]

one last thing
what would i need to change to limit it to six cards specifically?

[manic rune]

that definitely uhh needs a patch ❤️

[tall wharf]

you basically have to store card limit somewhere

there needs to be a central api for this shit

MR STEAMODDED WHERE ARE YOU

[ionic verge]

yeah i would love that

[manic rune]

call forth the wizards

[ionic verge]

would make my life 1 quadrillion times easier

[manic rune]

with how frequent mods are implementing custom selection size, i think they may actually add that

similar to how they added xchips

[quartz ravine]

Thank you for the tips guys

[manic rune]

oh, some other stuff you may also use:
E:1, and E:2 also make your text wavy, you can probably play around with that :D

[hushed field]

Also, after an Xmult, you don't need to write mult!

[manic rune]

the Mult] part is uncolored lol

[hard flume]

So I have two ideas for mods. Idk which one to make first

[quartz ravine]

ohh fun. I have been trying my hand at shaders and the hard part is

That it is slow to work on since I can't find a way to run them out of the context of the game. I need to find some compiler to highlight basic errors

[manic rune]

uhh

[zealous glen]

You can see their effects live with DebugPlus

live in-game

[manic rune]

theres a website to check the effect at real-time

aikoyori uses it

@tall wharf sorry for pinging, can you help with this one :(

[tall wharf]

:3

uh

with wha

[quartz ravine]

shaderToy is cool but those seem very different, webGl shaders vs the format lovely uses

[tall wharf]

i use glsl.app but you'll still need to port shit to the fs

[manic rune]

i remember you coding your shader in another website

[tall wharf]

i just restart game

[manic rune]

and uhh it renders in real time

[tall wharf]

and use the cryptid's edition deck to preview

[zealous glen]

Again you can see the shader in-game live

[tall wharf]

i was learning on book of shader

[manic rune]

oh, was it the one in editions example

[quartz ravine]

I am not following you, when I am trying to add a new shader and apply it to a custom edition, I was writing it in vscode then reloading the game evry time. I can see it in game by going to collection\Editions.

But how could I see it live in game while working on it?

[zealous glen]

DebugPlus

[manic rune]

wait, its actually possible to load shader in real-time with debug plus?

oh dam

never knew debugplus was that convenient

[tall wharf]

ah

nice

ty

[hard flume]

Blessings & Hexes
Or
BalatroTale:An Undertale Expansion

[zealous glen]

:D

[hard flume]

I'll do both, but idk which one to do first.

[manic rune]

undertale...

[zealous glen]

the smaller one

[quasi comet]

trying to add an atlas to my custom blind just returns

but the atlas is defined?

[strong jacinth]

Last time i checked it wasn't supposed to do that

[quasi comet]

nvm i realized you have to have the animation atlas on lol. it works

[stuck seal]

Anybody know why my blind isn't appearing in any run? Do I have to specify a rate?

[rapid stag]

how can i add to the info_queue of something like vanilla jokers?

[stuck seal]

Nvm, I js wasn't patient

[hushed field]

info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue +1] = whateveryou'repassingalong

[rapid stag]

yes, that's how to add to info_queue. but i'm asking to do this to vanilla jokers as part of a mod i'm writing

i'm hoping that i won't have to do some wacky patches and such

but i don't see any other way

[hushed field]

ah, sorry, I thought you meant passing a vanilla joker to another joker as the info_queue. You wanna either patch that, or take ownership

[rapid stag]

i see. thanks

[hushed field]

additionally, you could modify the generate_ui function to check if it's being called by that joker, and then pass whatever you want to to it

[old bane]

can you add retriggers in context retrigger? cause i wanna add a joker that has a chance to retrigger multiple times but each time the odds get smaller and smaller

[marble flint]

you could just simulate the probabilities all at once up front and add the retriggers in one go when you normally would

[old bane]

that is true

[marble flint]

otherwise, i think retriggering from a retriggered context is probably disallowed due to how easy it'd be to infinite loop yourself (?)

[glad osprey]

how do i get a tooltip for an eternal sticker and an egg

nvrm just the sticker

[woven turtle]

is it possible to hide the custom enhancement information under a card

[glad osprey]

elaborate

[glad osprey]

ah

probably with some patching

[quartz ravine]

Wow I have been restarting the game like a milliong times. This will be awesome

[zealous glen]

New Joker!

Binary Star
Your Planet cards are used 1 additional time

[woven turtle]

any idea on where to access this?

[lethal mural]

how do i make a joker destroy all scored kings

i know its something with context.destroy_card

but i cant quite figure it out

[glad osprey]

no lmao

i am not the person to ask about that

[hushed field]

I'm not sure on the exact way you'd do it, but I think set_card_type_badge on your custom enhancement would allow you to turn it off

[glad osprey]

why does this crash

[sonic cedar]

how would i recreate misprint's glitchy text? is that possible?

[dreamy thunder]

with update function i think?

[sonic cedar]

elab?

[hushed field]

dynamic text

[primal robin]

I guess there's no easy way to draw sprite over G.GAME.blind chip like on soulable cards

[simple mural]

Hello again, I'm trying to make the Joker...
It seems like all the code examples are there, SMODS.Atlas is there, the SMODS.Joker code is there, but nothing works, and I can’t understand why...

[quartz ravine]

For anyone needing to fix the error shader uniform 'your shader' does not exist the fix is that within a shader you both need to declare the external variable of it, AND also you have to use the .x and .y values somewhere in your shader code.

If you don't some aspect of Love2d which is the engine being used here, well it will optimize out the variable entirely.

Commenting this because I have encountered and solved this problem like five times now

[hushed field]

text that moves is drawn by DynaText(). I'd love to explain more, but it's a function that's got quite a bit going on, and I'm not super comfortable with it yet. But you can check your lovely dump's misprint locvars

[stiff locust]

is there a way to grab random suits that includes modded suits automatically

[rough furnace]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1335885215616208906.png?size=160&name=Send+the+Crash+log!!!!!

[glad osprey]

now why would i do that

[plush cove]

pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, pseudoseed("something"))

[sonic cedar]

i think i got what you mean ill go look
thanku

[rough furnace]

one of your assertions are returning true

or sorry false

[simple mural]

Can anyone share some understandable template of the Joker?

[glad osprey]

ok why is that though?????????

[quartz ravine]

Working on a new shader. It's for an an enhancement even more brittle than glass.

My end goal effect is to speed up this sin pattern and make it look like lightning. Really not sure if I can get diffuse light working either

[rough furnace]

because the functions you passed to it return false

[glad osprey]

let me rephrase

[sonic cedar]

wait it is like its details in the localization file right? or wrong spot

[glad osprey]

why are they returning false

[hushed field]

in card.lua, you wanna check the local vars that Misprint returns!

[rough furnace]

idk not familar with change base

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhhhh wrong file (i went to en-us 😭 )

[dreamy thunder]

try making them a string

[glad osprey]

i stg if thats it

[rough furnace]

also @edgy reef I think I found a lsp mistake (SMODS.change_base returns something0

[glad osprey]

i fucking hate making balatro mods

[dreamy thunder]

lol

[rough furnace]

that function shoudl return an error message too

then the assertion would have useful info

@frosty dock should I do that?

[edgy reef]

Yeah idk why the message is a warn and not just the returned error

[frosty dock]

yeah, not sure why it doesn't tbf

[rough furnace]

I'll update the lsp while I'm at it

also the wiki

it doesn't say it cajn return a card

[rapid stag]

still want to know if anyone has a solution for me?

[edgy reef]

It has no comments descripbing what it does too

xdd

[simple mural]

Help me please

I want to make a joker

[zealous glen]

what's the issue exactly

[rough furnace]

can I specifiy that it returns Card|false?

or is that an invalid type

[simple mural]

I can't understand what I need to create a joker in the new modification structure with meta.json

[edgy reef]

If we're reworking the function a bit it can just be Card|table? for the card and string? for error

[gleaming zealot]

Psst
They said all numbered cards become those numbers
Jacks Queens Kings and Aces arent numbered cards

[frosty dock]

i don't take issue with it returning nil instead of false

[glad osprey]

shush

[rough furnace]

the first return is false if it failed

[glad osprey]

yes thats me

[rough furnace]

I can do nil

oh

I didnt' see the ?

[zealous glen]

usually something like this

Naturally the atlas needs to correspond to one that exists

[rough furnace]

oh wait

[simple mural]

What if I want to split each joker into files? Can I and how?

[rough furnace]

@edgy reef theres comments above the actual implementation but not the lsp one. How should I handle that?

[edgy reef]

Just copy them over

[simple mural]

For a better understanding of what I have in general

[rough furnace]

keep it in both spots?

[edgy reef]

yea

Also indicate the function is wrapped around assert

[zealous glen]

that's why there's a return at the start

I load the files elsewhere

[long urchin]

learning to make custom jokers rn using a tutorial

[rough furnace]

should i mark it as @nodiscard

[edgy reef]

If that works yea

[simple mural]

For example:

main.lua
meta.json
AJokers/
  AJokers.lua
  j_alter_bull.lua

[zealous glen]

you can ignore the joker_name; it's just for printing a name with spaces instead of the key

[simple mural]

I want to load Jokers.lua from the main.lua and all jokers from the Jokers.lua

[long urchin]

i have this in my main.lua rn and the accompanying image in assets\1x and assets\2x but im not seeing my mod on the mod list

does anyone know why?

[frosty dock]

mod ids can't have spaces

your atlas' py also probably should be 95 and not 79

[long urchin]

oh i typo'd

[glad osprey]

how do i create an eternal egg and add it the joker slots

[long urchin]

but my mod id says --- MOD_ID: EXAMPLEJOKER

wheres the space??

[frosty dock]

mb i misread that

[long urchin]

ur fine

[glad osprey]

id recommend making a manifest.json instead of using the old header system

[long urchin]

wheres a template for that :V

[glad osprey]

[rough furnace]

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

[long urchin]

so will my mod show up now that i have a json instead

[frosty dock]

yeah I'm not sure what's wrong here but the old header format is really fragile and can randomly break even from trailing spaces

if it doesn't work with the json file in place, something else is wrong with the way you've set up your files

[glad osprey]

srsly tho this is weirdly hard

[simple mural]

What do I need to load this into the game?

[glad osprey]

loc_txt

[frosty dock]

SMODS.add_card { key = 'j_egg', stickers = { 'eternal' } }

[dreamy thunder]

i'd recommend a localization file

instead of loc_txt

[glad osprey]

loc_txt = {
name = "name",
text = {"line1",
        "line2"}
},

[frosty dock]

jsyk

steamodded adds prefixes automatically

[simple mural]

What if i have this structure?

[frosty dock]

including a mod prefix and the j_

[long urchin]

oh also is there a list of like

all of the description text commands

[gleaming zealot]

scandinavian sleeping and living

[frosty dock]

that's not what i said but lmao

[tepid crow]

close enough

[frosty dock]

this means the final key of your joker would actually be j_modprefix_j_alter_bull

[frosty dock]

any context

[simple mural]

I need to load my file with a joker from AJokers.lua and AJokers.lua from main.lua

[frosty dock]

put it in the event

G.jokers does not even exist yet outside of it

[frosty dock]

you can load e.g. AJokers.lua with assert(SMODS.load_file('AJokers/AJokers.lua'))()

[glad osprey]

lol

[simple mural]

What does assert do?

[bold sleet]

I mean.

Shitposter deck.

[bold sleet]

As far as I know, assert makes lua crash if whatever is inside doesn't like, fully work or something.

Makes sure that a function, for example, fully works idk.

[rough furnace]

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-assert

[frosty dock]

SMODS.load_file is written in such a way that it doesn't itself crash but returns an error message when it fails

[bold sleet]

tasty

[frosty dock]

assert makes sure it does crash and display that error message when that happens

[rough furnace]

(it behaves the same as lua's load and love's love.filesystem.load)

[bold sleet]

assert(false)

real

[rough furnace]

assert(true, "Fuck")

[frosty dock]

Oops! The game crashed! string:1: Assertion failed

[bold sleet]

Oops! The game crashed! string:1: Fuck

[glad osprey]

how do i specify the edition i want the egg to be

[bold sleet]

hold on

[frosty dock]

edition = 'e_polychrome'

[bold sleet]

lemme find the line

[glad osprey]

forgot the e_

[simple mural]

How do I know that my joker is in the game?

[rough furnace]

check the collection

[glad osprey]

collection

[frosty dock]

collection

[plush cove]

collection

[simple mural]

There is nothing

[bold sleet]

Card:set_edition(editon[str),bool,bool)

idk

[glad osprey]

then it failed

[bold sleet]

correct

[glad osprey]

bit late jogged la

[bold sleet]

Did your mod load?

[bold sleet]

Scrambled through FG's files to find the line lol.

[frosty dock]

uh how is it ending up in consumables

[glad osprey]

this is so fucking stupid

[glad osprey]

area = G.consumeables

[dreamy thunder]

negative jokers in consumable area increases the joker slots instead of consumable slots

good to know

[bold sleet]

o

No clue why the heck it has so many parameters. I just know that it is a god damm mess every time I have to use this function.

[frosty dock]

don't use it

use SMODS.create_card or SMODS.add_card
