frosty dock
how do i make mods for balatro with this https://github.com/art-muncher/Example-...
have a look at steamodded docs and example mods, these have more in-depth explanations on things
other than that, it depends on what you level of knowledge in lua and/or coding in general is
frosty dock
do you have any programming experience at all?
stray dagger
so like 6months
quartz ravine
Hey John that was totally the right window, thank you!
Do you see some other error? It isn't apply the xMult
frosty dock
so like 6months
you haven't answered my question
frosty dock
I'd say lua is a fairly easy first language to pick up, but I do recommend taking at least some time to learn the basics and concepts before jumping into mods. there's a lot to learn from the code of other mods too, but it's important that you learn to understand that code and don't just end up copying it mindlessly
stray dagger
do you havee some suggestions
frosty dock
you can do something like this to learn those basics: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-lua
-# note: I haven't used this and can't say anything about the quality of this particular course, but I've used the platform before
stray dagger
oh thank you
frosty dock
this can also be useful alongside testing things as you write code: https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html
it's more in-depth and you don't need to understand it all
if you need help at any point or need someone to explain something to you, please feel free to ask
stray dagger
how did the make it go backwards?
frosty dock
i don't see anything backwards, it's just right-aligned

Hi guys, running into an issue getting my custom editions to apply mult or chips...
that's not how you reference edition config values
it'd be like card.edition.extra
because of course editions are extra and need to do things differently

i honestly have no idea whats causing the crash, ive replaced all the broken code with another and it still works, im gonna scream

do you have your chips variable set to a non-integer value?

idk what you mean by that
if you mean how to add any given card to info queue, that works like info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_bla_blablabla
bold sleet
But where the fuck does that get stored in the card?
frosty dock
where does what get stored
bold sleet
Yes.
I need to access that specific thing.
...and figure out a way to not make it recursive.
frosty dock
where does what get stored?
frosty dock
the info_queue is a local variable in generate_card_ui
bold sleet
info_queue {
"something",
"something else",
"you get the idea",
"(...)"
}
it is used only to make recursive calls back into generate_card_ui
bold sleet
idk
frosty dock
and hence it does not exist outside of it
bold sleet
well sh*t
frosty dock
maybe this would be more productive if you said what you actually want to do and not some vague description of what you think you need to get there
bold sleet
I need to like, make so a card contains the information of another card and the other card contain the information of the first card.
Problem is:
A: I want to automate this process via a function
B: It is recursive so the game freezes.
red flower
check for not card.fake_card i think
frosty dock
well you have access to info_queue when you're adding the tooltip
either you can display it only on main descriptions and do what N' said
or you can check if it's already in info_queue and only add it if it isn't
bold sleet
Probably do the second one.

this is my first time doing suit specific stuff, I'm trying to do something similar to what castle does, but it adds chips when a heart is scored, instead of when a randomly selected suit is discarded, I think I'm missing something with the ```lua

this is just for increasing the chips variable using the chip_mod

-- boilerplate code to wrap loc_vars
if card.config.center.discovered then
-- If statement makes it so that this function doesnt activate in the "Joker Unlocked" UI and cause 'Not Discovered' to be stuck in the corner
full_UI_table.name = localize{type = 'name', key = self.key, set = self.set, name_nodes = {}, vars = specific_vars or {}}
end
localize{type = 'descriptions', key = self.key, set = self.set, nodes = desc_nodes, vars = self.loc_vars(self, info_queue, card)}
-- my actual code to try to attach the cardarea with the desc_nodes
if not card.config.center.discovered or card.area.config.collection then
return
end
if card.ability.predict_cards then
desc_nodes[#desc_nodes+1] = {create_UIBox_generic_options({
minw = nil,
padding = nil,
infotip = nil,
no_back = true,

uh I think I'd approach this slightly differently
bold sleet
prob card.ability.extra.value = 0 then
distant grove
okay
frosty dock
adding an object node with a card or CardArea inside the description box seems reasonable
chrome widget
card.ability.predict_cards is a CardArea, if it helps
It just creates, populates, and holds it as long as it's hovering over the pack
frosty dock
adding an object node with a card or CardArea inside the description box seems r...
you don't even need generate_ui for that, you can just return a ui element as main_end in loc_vars
chrome widget
Oh, interesting!

Hey friends, where can I find the logic for leveling up a poker hand? I took a look at burnt joker as reference but didn't take away much from it. Was hoping I could find a planet card in card.lua but didn't go so well either.
frosty dock
that element need not be some UIBox, it can just be a simple container that holds the object node
e.x. ```lua
{n=G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cm", colour = G.C.CLEAR, r = 0.0}, nodes={
{n=G.UIT.C, config = {align = "cm"}, nodes={
{n=G.UIT.O, config = {object = cardarea}}
}}
}}
And then just return that whole UI element?
frosty dock
return { vars = {...}, main_end = {<the UI element>} } in loc_vars
think it needs an extra set of {}, oops
chrome widget
Gimme a sec to try this
frosty dock
i should note that if you do ever need a custom generate_ui, you should probably base it off the base implementation steamodded provides, or call back into it if you're just extending it
frosty dock
Need some help with UI code for anyone more familiar with it. I'm making a joker...
because this would be highly inconsistent with the specification of loc_vars
chrome widget
Assuming it updated correctly (I just closed and reopened the game with the changes), it works basically identically. But thanks!!
Does the transform position of the object itself matter in the context of the UI box? Or would it take them as relative coordinates?
Because I am creating this at 0, 0, but I was under the assumption that it would be relative
frosty dock
uh huh
can i see that code again
are you creating the cardarea in a wider scope than the description? you should probably be recreating it on each loc_vars call
chrome widget
Yes, I would usually just create it once if possible
this is creating the card area, so the actual transform coordinates are the origin (this is called from the calculate function)
0,
0,
(pack.ability.extra * G.CARD_W) * 0.75, (G.CARD_H * 1.5) * 0.5,
{
card_limit = pack.ability.extra,
type = 'title',
highlight_limit = 0,
card_w = G.CARD_W * 0.7
}
)```
And this is loc_vars, currently
```function jokerInfo.loc_vars(self, info_queue, card)
if card.ability.predict_cards then
local ui_box = {
n = G.UIT.R,
config = {align = "cm", colour = G.C.CLEAR, r = 0.0},
nodes = {{
n = G.UIT.C,
config = {align = "cm"},
nodes = {{
n = G.UIT.O,
config = {object = card.ability.predict_cards}
}}
}}
}
return { vars = {}, main_end = {ui_box}}
else
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = "artist_coop", set = "Other"}
end
end```I can definitely recreate it each time in loc_vars if needed, but I'm not 100% certain that's the issue since it'd still be being given the same values?
frosty dock
if the area just continues to exist, it will be rendered in its real position without any influence from loc_vars
loc_vars is doing nothing related to that card area being rendered in fact, so long as it's not being called. Try and see what happens when you show the description of the joker?
chrome widget
Just shows the regular description
frosty dock
a working example of card areas inside descriptions are polyminos in Bunco, and they most definitely work by creating a new card area whenever loc_vars is prompted
frosty dock
Just shows the regular description
figured as much, the area is already being rendered elsewhere
either way I think it's preferable to store the raw information instead of the card area because objects in ability tables tend not to play nice with saving
frosty dock
center keys would be the rawest information I can think of
if you track other information like editions, throw that in
anything that lets you construct the card you want to display
chrome widget
I mostly went with cards because the SMODS changes in Pack:open expect still being able to return a card outright from whatever booster's create_card function (including a comment lamenting that fact), so I guess I can just destroy it if need be
-- due to SMODS, I have to support creating an actual card here. hopefully pack creators
-- don't have it materialize before it leaves the pack
card = _card_to_spawn
else
card = SMODS.create_card(_card_to_spawn)
end
pack_cards[i] = card```Then I guess i'll just grab the center, destroy the card, and waggle my finger at whoever gives me a card from the function

how do I check if a hand is the final hand played in a round? the method I have been using is no longer working suddenly
chrome widget
how are you not advancing the pools?
Very hacky change to the pseudoseed function to store advancing seed values as long as a "mode" is set to only return predicted values rather than actually set the main G.GAME.pseudorandom table
local _pseed = 0
if not G.GAME.pseudorandom.predict_mode or not G.GAME.pseudorandom.predicts[key] then
_pseed = pseudohash(key..(predict_seed or G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed or ''))
G.GAME.pseudorandom.predicts[key] = {
value = _pseed,
pos = 0
}
end
if G.GAME.pseudorandom.predict_mode then
_pseed = math.abs(tonumber(string.format("%.13f", (2.134453429141+G.GAME.pseudorandom.predicts[key].value*1.72431234)%1)))
G.GAME.pseudorandom.predicts[key].value = _pseed
G.GAME.pseudorandom.predicts[key].pos = G.GAME.pseudorandom.predicts[key].pos + 1
return (_pseed + (G.GAME.pseudorandom.hashed_seed or 0))/2
else
_pseed = math.abs(tonumber(string.format("%.13f", (2.134453429141+_pseed*1.72431234)%1)))
return (_pseed + (pseudohash(predict_seed) or 0))/2
end
end```Hacky because it's all built around maintaining the one (1) time vanilla uses the predict_seed parameter to find the first legendary spawn in the run, and the code is only build to predict the first value of any given seed by default since the vanilla code sets it to the starting value every time if you pass it in
Which is why it only ever uses it right after creating the seed the first time
frosty dock
can i get an example
it's in the docs
default is { w = 71, h = 95 }
it goes on the center and you can change these values to scale the display size
e.g. display_size = { w = 71*0.7, h = 95*0.7 } for something wee-sized

if it's a joker:
turbid maple
Is there a reset_game_globals but after each hand? or do I need to start patching and/or hooking
chrome widget
at any point in the calculate function, you can use hand_chips * mult to get the current value of chips and mult during the full effect triggers, because AFAIK they're globals in the actual vanilla/smods functions
So at the point the joker triggers, you should just be able to compare G.GAME.chips + (hand_chips * mult) >= G.GAME.blind.chips to know if the current hand will win the blind. Position depend of course, if you have any other jokers in the context that check for it
sonic cedar
this calls a global “joker” and crashes
did i mess something up?
turbid maple
the problem seems to be that joker is a global for some reason
and not the variable referencing the joker you're changing
sonic cedar
would the variable in question just be the id of the first joker?
like a j_prefix_joker thing

no, it's the joker card
chrome widget
this is already the method i was using

I have a similar context and I'm like 95% sure this isn't bugged
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chips_mod

chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,

they are a different size but seperated the same distance on spritesheets
consumables are 63 x 93 while jokers are 69 x 93 but every "grid" on their sprite sheets are 71 x 95

Got it

there are consumable templates somewhere (if its an existing type that is) in this server so you dont rly gotta worry about recreating it from scratch
like searching (x) template in the search bar youd probably find it

why is banned_keys not working here
no_pool_flag doesnt work either
i'm at a complete loss
i'm guessing no_pool_flag only works on jokers and i wasted my time trying to use it on a booster pack
how the fuck do i make it not spawn ive spent three goddamn days trying to figure it out
banned_keys seems to be coded to only work for challenge decks and no_pool_flag seems to only work on jokers

What would the IF Context combination be if I need the Joker to destroy a certain card, but after scoring.
This is just basic as I need to get the main functionality working beforehand. I also did context.after and it was not triggering at all. "Working1" is supposed to be printed if it does find the correct context

i forgot to put "p_" in front of the banned keys
that wasn't it either
you know what i give up

Is it possible to give Decks rules from Challenges? I'm wanting to make it so that no Jokers spawn in the shop but I can't figure out how to add no_shop_jokers to the Deck
lethal mural
If you can then I have been unable to because I've been trying to ban a specific booster from appearing on a modded deck and it literally refuses to work
timid oyster
Damn I've been trying for a while and can't figure it out
lethal mural
ive been trying for like three days
timid oyster
I did just start learning this today though so I'm not surprised lol

You can absolutely use banned keys

im not sure what im doing wrong then
ive tried with and without "p_" in front
they still appear
wait

How do I make it so a card can be enabled by having, for example, a Bonus card or a Mult card? My current implementation gives the following error.
key = 'empowered',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Empowered',
text = {
"Retrigger all {C:attention}Bonus{}",
"and {C:attention}Mult{} cards"
}
},
config = {},
rarity = 1,
atlas = 'MASS',
pos = { x = 4, y = 1 },
cost = 5,
enhancement_gate = {'m_bonus', 'm_mult'},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = {} }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
--Replay the bonus and mult cards!
if context.repetition then
if context.cardarea == G.play then
if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_bonus') or SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_mult') then
return {
message = localize("k_again_ex"),
repetitions = 1,
card = card,
}
end
end
end
end
}```

Shader code?

Encountering a previously considered but strange design question when it comes to this card:
Having a tool to predict card packs is cool, but it does inherently "peel back the curtain" in a way on the pseudorandom values that drive most of the game's logic, so for example both of these standard packs as shown as having identical contents, when that's inherently untrue (I just can't simply predict which pack the player will open first if they open both). It also means that if a player passes on multiple of the same pack type in a row in different shops, the seeds will never advance, regardless of what other cards are bought, showing multiple shops in a row as having "identical" contents in their boosters
So the solutions are... one, probably make the joker unable to be found before a specific ante to make it likely that the player has economy to skip packs less, two, pull some bull to show seed advancement multiple times to show packs as having different contents and then manipulate the sprites when you open them to match what they saw with the pack they picked
The latter is a ton of work though

Hey y'all, I get a crash "attempt to index field 'extra' (a nil value)" because of the code below. Why does this happen?
config = { extra = { can_tag = 1 } },
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.after then
card.ability.extra.can_tag = 1 --crash occurs first at this line
end
if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss and card.ability.extra.can_tag == true then
add_tag(Tag('tag_ethereal'))
card.ability.extra.can_tag = 0
end
end
When/ What timing does it crash?

Hey y'all, I get a crash "attempt to index field 'extra' (a nil value)" because ...
I have an unlikely guess about what could be the issue.
Is it crashing during a run you continued on?
bold gyro
yes
runic pecan
And at the moment that run started, is can_tag already defined in extra?
bold gyro
okay starting a new run stopped the crashing, ty!

calling for backup here! I'm trying to make a Joker that gains X0.25 mult whenever a specific hand is levelled up, and I have this so far
-- Global events hooks
local CommonEvents_luhRef = level_up_hand
level_up_hand = function(self, card, hand, instant, amount)
sendInfoMessage(hand)
CommonEvents_luhRef(self, card, hand, instant, amount)
if to_big(amount or 1) > to_big(0) then
SMODS.calculate_context({ mstg_level_up_hand = true, mstg_level_up_hand_name = hand })
end
end
And I think I've done everything right, but for some reason, while it does detect the context, it just...doesn't pass along the name of the hand. And my little sendInfoMessage bit returned nothing!
The levelling up and everything still works, but I kinda need to get the hand information. Any assistance? Thanks in advance!
i've also tried doing this as a lovely patch, but still no cigar
i'm extremely puzzled
Update: Nevermind, I fixed it. Apparently I got too used to typing "self" in my hooks, and that ended up confusing the code and making it register nothing

try set_badges
assuming you're trying to make a special planet
slender cape
just change the existing planets
nocturne garnet
ohhhh
slender cape
assuming thats harder
nocturne garnet
as in like change localizations or just change one specific planet
slender cape
how would i format that in like the main.lua
oh right sorry
would i have to do that for each individual planet i want to change
nocturne garnet
basically yea
slender cape
ill give it a shot
for the SMODS.Joker: bit do you know if it would be .Planet or .Consumable
and if not how would i check

awesome
its throwing up an error for this code about not closing the curly brackets

)
frosty dock
that code is not inside of any function
slender cape
its in function SMODS.INIT.TexturePackTemplate()
oh wow i never changed the name of that from the template
frosty dock
that's not what I mean
it is directly inside of a table
you don't need a SMODS.INIT function at all btw
slender cape
huh ok
frosty dock
SMODS.Consumable:take_ownership('saturn', {
set_card_type_badge = function(self, card, badges)
-- the code
end,
})
mobile wtf
slender cape
would 'the code' just be the thing i wrote inside the other one
frosty dock
specifically the line where you create the badge
I'm not sure what the true is supposed to be doing
frosty dock
definitely not like this
frosty dock
right it's outside not inside, just looked weird on mobile
you don't need it
it just makes it so it doesn't add your mod badge to what you're changing
sorry I just woke up haha

so im trying to store the first discard of a round before destroying it, and then when a consumable is used create new playing cards with the same suit/rank but with added enhancements, i have no clue what i'm doing when it comes to creating the new cards themselves sadly
right now it throws this error:
okay i forgot about P_CENTERS, now the crash log is different

i had suit and rank the wrong way around 🤦♀️

is anyone familiar with the Booster:take_ownership_by_kind() function cause i cant get this code to work

SMODS.Booster:take_ownership_by_kind('p_celestial_jumbo', { atlas = 'boosters_owp' })
SMODS.Booster:take_ownership_by_kind('p_celestial_mega', { atlas = 'boosters_owp' })```its not throwing an error or anything it just isnt overriding the atlas
frosty dock

you're using it like it's regular take_ownership
slender cape
i havent been able to find any examples so idk how its meant to be used
frosty dock
take_ownership_by_kind takes a booster "kind" instead of a key and applies to all of that kind
So SMODS.Booster:take_ownership_by_kind('Celestial', {...})

woah holy shit that worked thank you

at a glance, you're setting seals and editions wrong
newc:set_seal(...)
newc:set_edition(...)
topaz monolith
Raking my brain for almost two hours. How do you give the player a tag from a joker? More specfically, the Ethereal Tag?
frosty dock
add_tag(Tag('tag_ethereal')) iirc
spring lantern
newc:set_seal(...)
newc:set_edition(...)
i had it like this but i changed it for some reason i forgot 😭
either way i'm getting the same error, i think the issue is in create_playing_card
frosty dock
what's the error again
spring lantern
but it's hard to say because the crash log points to a base game script
spring lantern
this
frosty dock
can I see what's in your file dumps around the line where it crashes?
spring lantern
it's this func
frosty dock
all i can gather is that _draw_major.dissolve_colors is nil?
no, it's a table of numbers when it should be a table of tables of numbers
spring lantern
bruh
aight let me try it now
no way that was literally it
works like a charm
thank you but like damn how am i this much of a goofball with syntax 😭

When a booster pack is openning, how do I check if its a specfic booster pack? The four(?) Spectral packs to be precise. Currently making it so that the joker earns Xmult if Spectral packs are opened
spring lantern
when context.opening_booster (i think that's the name) you can access SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER and check if the booster is a spectral pack

is there way to check fir a card with no enhancements?

@tall wharf hi
manic rune
their edition halves the values of cards
hushed field
doubling joker values is luckily not too difficult, I found. It only gets hard if you wanna be clever like me and exclude certain values from the multiplication
but you can just store the pre-multiplication values for safekeeping, then iterate through their ability.extra and x2 every value

oh, really?
i find it easy for vanilla jokers, but idk if its possible for modded jokers too
hushed field
modded may have the problem that certain values or intended behaviours break
manic rune
since my guess was that you go through a number of vars like "mult" and such in the card.ability.extra to multiply that up
tall wharf
this is the function i https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/be85d506a47699061dc442916f2166dd42acf5a3/modules/misc.lua#L383
hushed field
So it's really gonna depend on what your approach to compatibility is
manic rune
orrr wait, are you just multiplying all the values in card.ability.extra?
hushed field
I think Cryptid only multiplies values with chips or mult in the name? Or has some exceptions? I haven't checked that code in a while
hushed field
orrr wait, are you just multiplying *all* the values in card.ability.extra?
I think cryptid straight up doubles every number value, honestly
tall wharf
so i guess you should multiply the nominal value
tall wharf
I think cryptid straight up doubles every number value, honestly
not really

I'm checking now just to be sure, because I remember there being so many checks, haha

Hi chat. I'm debating making my mod a generic dumping grounds mod because I have so many ideas
manic rune
do you guys think it would be interesting for certain jokers in my mod to synergize with vanilla jokers, like having literal effects saying "If (x) is to the Joker's right, (y)"
hushed field
not really
it just checks to see if the number isn't one of a few values you don't wanna multiply, right?
hushed field
do you guys think it would be interesting for certain jokers in my mod to synerg...
If you commit to it, yes. I'm finding that it's less fun if those synergies are rare enough that vanilla jokers feel more like a burden than an element of the mod
manic rune
ehh, i dont think i will ever put Rare jokers in the mechanic if im really gonna do it
mostly just common/uncommon jokers
hushed field
I've been playing around with it, because I like some synergies between my jokers and the vanillas, but the vanilla jokers, because they aren't movie jokers, are inherently weaker because they can't earn you explicit Synergies from my synergy system, so no joker slots or bonus value.
manic rune
for now, im intending to make Literal Trash synergize with Joker, giving both of them x mult for example
hushed field
Referencing specific jokers also gets weaker the more jokers there are ofc

since both are early game jokers, i think what it does is allowing them to become more useful after their intended phase
