🤔

[manic rune]

theres no consistent way to run through a table with indexes which are just words

that isnt random

and not requiring other tables to assist with that task

[vague helm]

That modification prevents the crash, but it has the same effect as the old version of the code

[manic rune]

...im pretty sure it should debuff the joker during scoring, and de-debuffs it back after scoring

[vague helm]

It does, but the X doesn't remain. I think the after is after scoring, but not after the scoring animation?

[old bane]

how do i get a card's rarity?

[frosty dock]

center 😭

[manic rune]

wait, im a little bit lost here, you want the "X" to remain?

[vague helm]

Until the animation completes

[manic rune]

blame that one ytber :3

[frosty dock]

😭

[vague helm]

Let me go ahead and take a video recording of the current effect

[manic rune]

-# i will change all center to card later

[long sun]

how can i give a Joker the booster pack shader?

[turbid maple]

At some point I have genuinely considered running a preprocessor so I don't have to type card.ability.extra for the 500th time

[manic rune]

nevermind

[gilded blaze]

suppose deck ability is to remove enhancements from scoring cards and earn some money for each enhancement removed
how do I use context.individual correctly
this piece of code doesn't crash the game, but doesn't work the way I intended it to 💀

[frosty dock]

put a space before

[tall apex]

hey quick question goobers, if i want to narrow down a hand type played would i change pokerhands = pokerhands to pokerhands = flush or something?

[frosty dock]

or I guess anything that isn't a dot

[manic rune]

o yea

[vague helm]

@manic rune

[turbid maple]

wdym, are you trying to check what the current scoring poker hand is?

[vague helm]

If I remove the rebuff code, the X will show, but then the card will never get rebuffed

[frosty dock]

regex supremacy

[tall apex]

yes! i want this joker to see a certain flush and retrigger the whole hand

[manic rune]

oh, theres no "X"

[vague helm]

Exactly, unless I remove the rebuff code

[manic rune]

wait wait, hm

you should probably put the rebuff code inside an event

[manic rune]

:3

i will kms later

[lyric wadi]

i have confirmed this and yea, converted cards with enhancements that triggers on scoring stopped working

[turbid maple]

context.scoring_hand

[lyric wadi]

enhancements that trigger when held still work tho

like steel and gold

have tested seals yet

[gilded blaze]

😭

[tall apex]

oh would i use that to then output a retrigger?

[gilded blaze]

going to bed soon dammit

[lyric wadi]

how and why

wtf

[turbid maple]

unless you want to check if hand contains the poker hand you want then you'd check for context.poker_hands["Flush"]

[tall apex]

this is more what i'm looking for yes!

per usual, ty for helping me learn c:

[manic rune]

   G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      trigger = 'after',
      delay = 0.0,
      func = function()
        card.ability.extra["debuffed_card"]:set_debuff(false)  
         return true
       end
   }))

maybe try adding this inside context.after instead

[manic rune]

dont you need next() for that one?
-# im too used to seeing it being used for this kind of stuff, so im asking to be sure

[tall apex]

the goal is a joker that retriggers your hand when its a flush consisting of the largest suit in your deck

which is a bit of a coding jump for but im ready to tango >:3

[turbid maple]

honestly not sure lol might be

okay yeah you're right

[lyric wadi]

oh heck its kawai

hello

how are youer jonklers shaping up to be

[turbid maple]

here's an example of how it's done (for a reimplementation of Runner)

[vague helm]

@manic rune Very close. I had to make some modifications to ensure that the card was truthy. But, now, it flashes the X and immediately goes away. I think the core issue is that I believe the game triggers after after the score is calculated, not when the animation is done

[stiff locust]

can vouchers use calculate

[turbid maple]

I think observatory does it

[gilded blaze]

[stiff locust]

no observatory's code is inside the calculate_joker function

[manic rune]

gdagdagli im bad at this 😭

theres no context differentiating between "after score" and "after animations", since the animations are all done by events, can you trying switching the 'trigger = 'after'" part to trigger = before?

[tall apex]

oh thats perfect!! ty!

[turbid maple]

wiki lists calculate as an api method under Vouchers so I assume it'd work?

[stiff locust]

well i'll hope so

better calc likely added it to vouchers

[manic rune]

what do you mean by "doesnt work the way i intended it to"?

[gilded blaze]

I play a base card and a stone card

it gives money twice, when it should only do once

[manic rune]

yeah i can see why

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play runs for each played card

but you are also running a for loop inside it to check for every card too

[stiff locust]

change the context to context.before

or context.after

[manic rune]

so essentially, if you play 2 cards, it will go through every card twice

^

[stiff locust]

depending if you want the enhancements to score or not before being removed

if you do before the enhancements won't be scored, if you do after they will be scored

[gilded blaze]

both didn't work

the enhancement only gets removed properly if I use context.individual

[manic rune]

if so, you dont need the loop

use context.other_card instead

[gilded blaze]

this is deck ability

there is no "card" variable

context.other_card crashes the game

[stiff locust]

there is in context.individual and context.repetition

context.other_card refers to the card currently being scored

[vague helm]

@manic rune This works:

if context.hand_drawn and card.ability["debuffed_card"] then card.ability["debuffed_card"]:set_debuff(false) end

[manic rune]

i thought about that too, but i think its not exactly a surefire way since i think if you have a hand of 13/8 and it doesnt draw a card after you play a hand, then it wont run

[gilded blaze]

like this?

[stiff locust]

also why delay 0.7

that's a pretty long delay for an event

[latent portal]

chat did i cook

[manic rune]

dumbbell

[stiff locust]

vertical

[frosty dock]

why the manual ease_dollars and card_eval_status_text?

[manic rune]

epic

[gilded blaze]

sob

[gilded blaze]

oh, is there a better method?

[frosty dock]

return { dollars = <amount> }

[gilded blaze]

💀

[vague helm]

Confirmed, you are correct @manic rune

[manic rune]

also @frosty dock, i had to manually check how many times my joker is gonna be retriggered, put it into a var AND run it through this for the joker to actually retrigger played cards like i intended 😭

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/f4zyqw hence, this

[gilded blaze]

the game still crashes

because of non-existent context.other_card

[manic rune]

did you try changing the "after" to "before" in the event?

[manic rune]

but for other contexts like this one, i have absolutely no clue how to do the same lol

[tall apex]

ok i got sidetracked from my current joker, genuinely how do i call for sfx, i have everything set up to a T

[old bane]

let's goooo replicas can spawn in shop now! (only if there's a copy of an existing joker)

[vague helm]

It doesn't even draw the cards if I use before

[manic rune]

...draw?

[gilded blaze]

the crash log says context.other_card on line 284 is non-existent

😭

[vague helm]

Bepis It hangs before my hand is drawn.

Like picked up, drawn

[manic rune]

fgngngngh i hate timing 💔

[frosty dock]

oh this must be some jank with context.other_card being unset after calculation

[tall apex]

wait, whats the joker equivilent of e_something.ogg or music_something.ogg

[vague helm]

You would think post_trigger would work....

[tall apex]

is there one

am i stupid

[frosty dock]

joker equivalent? wdym

[tall apex]

like for a sound a joker is supposed to make

do i have to name the file j_something.ogg

[manic rune]

no, its just sounds

i think its
prefix_(your sound's key)

[old bane]

same thing for regular jokers toooo

[tall apex]

thats what i have, im not getting a crash but i cant hear it at all :(

[frosty dock]

you need to register the sound with SMODS.Sound

[tall apex]

i have done that

[frosty dock]

and you need to play it

[tall apex]

...

[frosty dock]

either using play_sound

or returning it in a calculate function

[tall apex]

or sound = in a return function yes ik

[manic rune]

if only you could return "repetition" in here too

so that i can do the same :3

[frosty dock]

you can do that in context.repetition

[manic rune]

yes, but it retriggers the cards for all jokers to benefit from

.

oh wait

[frosty dock]

then I can't tell you what's wrong if you don't show code

[frosty dock]

yeha that's how that works

[gilded blaze]

is this fixed in latest smods

[frosty dock]

I don't think so. but you can create a local reference to context.other_card outside the event for now

[manic rune]

but what if i want the code to only retrigger the "Played cards give +5 Mult" part, for example?
-# for an english major student, my grammar is atrocious

[gilded blaze]

alr then

[frosty dock]

then you could use joker retriggers to retrigger yourself instead of the playing card

[manic rune]

no, im doing exactly that

but like i said, it only retriggers context.joker_main consistently

for other contexts, it doesnt work properly at all

[frosty dock]

what's your smods version

[manic rune]

uh, wait

[tall apex]

you could like, ask.

[manic rune]

i think its pretty new

[gilded blaze]

ok that worked but did I do something wrong with return { dollars = <amount> } because I did not gain money

[frosty dock]

please show your code

[vague helm]

@manic rune Could G.jokers help? I am not sure what those values are.

[frosty dock]

huh should be fine then, I'm like pretty sure that's been working

but I can investigate

[manic rune]

i made sure it does retrigger properly

[tall apex]

its prob gonna be something super stoobid

[manic rune]

its the joker area where you put your jokers in

[gilded blaze]

where money 😭

[manic rune]

but SOME contexts, like this one, still retrigger

😭

[tall apex]

that sounds annoying omg . 3.

[manic rune]

it is, since my mod has self retriggers as a core mechanic

[vague helm]

How is context.cardarea used in this context?

[manic rune]

im literally considering about removing it entirely if its this inconsistent and buggy lmfao

[manic rune]

you are telling the code what cardarea it should check

and in your case, its G.jokers, which is already correct

[frosty dock]

when is self_retriggers set?

it's reset to zero after one calculation

[vague helm]

There's gotta be an event for post play

[tardy wind]

after

[frosty dock]

I only see it modified in joker_main

[tardy wind]

if context.end_of_round

[vague helm]

That's end of round, not end of hand

[tardy wind]

what does end of hand played would mean ?

[frosty dock]

does context.after work?

[tardy wind]

all cards are triggered but score not added to tally ?

[tall apex]

i still don't get this in the slightest ;-;

[vague helm]

Once the hand animation completes. after appears to be after scoring is calculated, not when the animation is actually done

[tall apex]

oh wait thats weird

[vague helm]

I need hand_drawn, but for it to also trigger if you're done playing and there's no more cards to draw because you're near the end of the deck

[manic rune]

yeah uh, what im planning to do is:

• during joker_main, the joker increases self_retriggers when a certain condition is met
• afterwards, that var is sent to context.retrigger_joker_check to be checked, then retriggers the joker by that number of times

i also tried moving the self_retriggers modification part to context.before, but the same happens, and its even buggier since context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play now only retriggers for the first played card

[frosty dock]

yeah there's your problem

you're resetting it to zero after the first retrigger check

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/jibl8a

[frosty dock]

So it retriggers one context, then does nothing until set again

[manic rune]

...oh, i thought what context.retrigger_joker does is go through this entire code block by the number of times repetition is returned

[tardy wind]

hell of a joker

[manic rune]

it was supposed to retrigger for all played cards lol, but it only works for the first card which has been on my nerves for quite a while now

[tardy wind]

show code

[frosty dock]

it checks individually for each context

[manic rune]

:3 i blame the non-existence of a documentation about this

but yeah, that does explain everything, thanks :D

[manic rune]

it was uh, the context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play + retrigger joker stuff, should be fixed now though
-# maybe

[modern kindle]

Hi chat Smiley face

[manic rune]

hello dilly

IM SORRY

[modern kindle]

EGADS

[manic rune]

😭

[modern kindle]

you tried sending me straight to the abyss

[hard flume]

How many chips should Cat Rank give

[modern kindle]

9 base for 9 lives prob

[analog pilot]

10000000000

[manic rune]

...wait, so where am i supposed to set card.ability.extra["self_retriggers"] = 0?

[tall wharf]

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[modern kindle]

then just add the rank to each 9 for individualized score

[manic rune]

im supposed to tell the code to stop retriggering at one point

but like

[tall apex]

i finally got it, i feel so stupid

[manic rune]

at the first retrigger, it will definitely stop when it goes through that context

probably need a workaround for this one, fuck

[tall apex]

it says play a sound WITH any message, i didn't put it in the same return with the message i put it in the return that was scoring the hand

[frosty dock]

wherever you want it to stop retriggering

[tall wharf]

tiny

[vague helm]

@manic rune Is there a hook for when next_joker would have been triggered? Perhaps that's the answer? I'm at wits end

[tall wharf]

😔

[manic rune]

just to be sure, im supposed to keep self_retriggers until all the calculations have been done, and afterwards i can set it to 0?

[tall apex]

also can i just say i see the mario galaxy font and i fw it heavy X3

[frosty dock]

you can also retrigger based on context if that helps

[tall wharf]

there we go

[frosty dock]

context.other_context is the checked context

[modern kindle]

your text has bewildered me

[manic rune]

oh shit, i can do that?

yeah i think that might be what im looking for, lemme try

[vague helm]

@tall wharf How did you assign the Art Credit?

[tall wharf]

a lot of shenanigans

[manic rune]

nope, i dont think hook is the answer you are looking for 😭

unfortunately, i think im too inexperienced with this timing kinda stuff to help you

maybe try asking john smods or someone else, sorry :(

[hard flume]

Hmm... Would Cash work better as a suit or rank?

[manic rune]

...what

suit

[frosty dock]

9 of Cash

or

Cash of Spades

hm

[manic rune]

Cash of Cash

[frosty dock]

both could work ngl

[manic rune]

Clash of Clans

[frosty dock]

Cash of Clubs

Club of Cash

[tall wharf]

Call of Cutie

[manic rune]

i absolutely despise retrigger_joker now that i realize the way i thought how it worked is wrong

😭

[lyric wadi]

wait how does it work

[vague helm]

@frosty dock Here's the context: #💻・modding-dev message - I want to show the card next to my custom card as debuffed, but I want that to disappear as soon as the player is able to play another hand. The problem with after is it appears that triggers after the scoring is done, not when the whole animation completes. This works, but it doesn't show the Joker as being debuffed, which can be confusing

[frosty dock]

ngl implementing it like you thought it worked would be the most jank thing I've ever seen

[lyric wadi]

hello john smods now that you're here

[gilded blaze]

💀 no money

[lyric wadi]

i'll be queing up behind brandon

[modern kindle]

yea i wont lie retrigger joker kinda worked as i expected it to lmao

[tall wharf]

have you seen my sliced edition?

[modern kindle]

you had some high hopes bepis

[manic rune]

💔

[frosty dock]

yes

[hard flume]

The original idea I had was for it to be a rank that gives chips equal to money, but I felt that was too... strange for a rank?

[manic rune]

welp, off to fixing pretty much all jokers which work around that

[tall wharf]

purgatory

[hard flume]

But now that I sat on it, I think it could be fun

[tardy wind]

looks like everything works as intended

[frosty dock]

I'm about to have dinner, I'll have a look at this later

[vague helm]

Thank you! I'll maybe do some real work now 🙂

[manic rune]

why did you sit on money

[hard flume]

Not literally

Just the idea/mechanics

[manic rune]

why did you sit on chips

i think you need to add a chair joker

[tall wharf]

❤️

[manic rune]

show off 💔

[modern kindle]

oh the example clarified what you meant

sick

[pale temple]

losing my mind over end_of_round return func why is it not doing anything 💔

[manic rune]

wym by that

[pale temple]

#💻・modding-dev message

[lyric wadi]

@frosty dock hi sorgy for another ping but i also want to ask now that you're here

so i have a joker which changes the suit of all the cards in your held hand with the change_base function
for some reason Mult and Lucky enhancement all stopped working on any card converted this way
Bonus still gives the extra chips correctly, Glass still triggers, and Gold and Steel behaves as normal

is this something about the game or am i using change_base wrong? or should i use somethingh else

please have a look after you're done with brandon thanks

[manic rune]

just if context.end_of_round should suffice, honestly

[vague helm]

For mine, @manic rune ? That would make this play a lot less dynamically

[manic rune]

what the fuck

i didnt set it to 0 this time

[pale temple]

it triggers the destroy animation like 50 times if it's just that

[manic rune]

this still doesnt retireogimamgamo

[manic rune]

did you try adding "and context.cardarea == G.jokers" too

[tall wharf]

:(

[pale temple]

no no that bit is already fine

it's the return

shi aint doing nothing

not even the print

[manic rune]

never used functions in return before, so idk 💔

[manic rune]

WHY DOESNT THIS RETRIGGER

LIKE

ok wait, im completely removing ALL methods of setting self_retriggers to 0

[green plank]

[tall wharf]

asd

[manic rune]

...that somehow worked

man

🔫

[rapid stag]

does anyone have any further insight into either this or the undiscovered custom legendary joker description thing i'm still having?

[manic rune]

is there a context which tells whether the joker is being retriggered or not?

[latent portal]

guys

i have a serious question

MASSIVE question

[manic rune]

im a bit LOW right now though

[latent portal]

so

i want to make something cool and awesome and special

a new kind of booster pack

a Jimbo Pack

[manic rune]

-# that doesnt seem special

[modern kindle]

be nice now, everyones own little mod and idea is special in their own way ♥

[manic rune]

i need this, to uhhh

set this to 0

but somehow making it so that this block wont run

[latent portal]

when you open it, it shows you some cards you could potentially get (tarot/planet/spectral cards, jokers, playing cards, special cards that give you money, cards that do nothing, and sometimes rarely even a voucher), then flips them over and shuffles them, before forcing you to pick one to take like a little minigame

[manic rune]

if the joker is being retriggered

[latent portal]

how plausible is this

[manic rune]

its possible, yeah

[hushed field]

very possible, though you'll need to be a bit comfortable with lua, because the wiki won't have a very direct guide for that

[modern kindle]

what are you trying to do? dont retriggers count themselves down to 0 anyway?

[latent portal]

im fairly comfortable

[manic rune]

the thingggg is, if i dont have that then the self triggers is permanent

[hushed field]

then it's definitely doable!

[manic rune]

i just want the joker to retrigger everything in its calculation once

[green plank]

quick question, would this be pleasible or not

[manic rune]

then after that, set self_retriggers to 0, so that the next time it wont retrigger everything again

[latent portal]

you'd have to somehow get a system clock

or well

input FROM the system clock

[manic rune]

without the context to tell the joker whether its being retriggered or not, it kinda just sets the self_retriggers to 0 immediately, then no other contexts are retriggered

so like, retriggers are shutting themselves down because of that

-# god im dumb at transferring my idea over

[modern kindle]

i know i had an issue in calculate running several times to return effects, i just made modifier flags to make it store it once per round

so i assume you can do something similar to that per scoring that should trigger it no?

[manic rune]

once per round isnt exactly what im looking for, my jokers basically have this stat called Speed

each point above 100 increases Excess Action Value by 1, and each 100 Excess Action Value will retrigger the joker once

[modern kindle]

ye i know it wasnt once per round thats why i said once or however many times per scoring hand

just an exmaple was mine was once per round

[manic rune]

but if the joker is being retriggered, then it will still go through that context and affect it too, right?

[obsidian nexus]

Can i make a consumable not sellable ? Like selling it does nothing nor gives money, or just straight up disable the sell button ?

[modern kindle]

cant you store how many it was triggered, once it reaches the amount triggered then set whatever flag to false so then it can return what youre looking for

ie, triggers once, sets flag to false unless it has whatever value to trigger again, then it increases storage table by +1

[manic rune]

i did exactly that, actually

[old bane]

woag

[manic rune]

but it still doesnt work

[modern kindle]

huh

what kind wack shit is ur game tryna pull

[manic rune]

i dont know 😭

so my idea was that it retriggers all contexts, right?

then i set a "timer" here, which goes down by 1 for each time its run

when it reaches 0, self_retriggers is also set to 0

but the thing is that it still shuts itself down immediately ❤️

[red flower]

have you tried asking it nicely to retrigger correctly

[tardy wind]

nicely(card.ability.extra["self_retrigger"] = 0)

[modern kindle]

you can also give your code the idea that youre about to crash out in a supremely diabolical way and it will take pity on you sometimes

(this is effective for me 30% of the time)

[tall apex]

hey is there a context for if you're actively in a blind?

[tardy wind]

theres a context for when a blind is selected/starts

[tall apex]

hmm, ok, im trying to make it so that my joker doesn't trigger when you're in the shop, or anywhere that isn't a blind

[wintry solar]

Have you sorted this out yet? I have some time to help out now

[tardy wind]

shop is in blind

[manic rune]

nope, im currently still trying to get it working 💔

[modern kindle]

dont we have a shop start context now anyway

[tall apex]

ah. well, it adds chips, and adding chips when not in a play state results in a crash

[wintry solar]

If you want to drop all the relevant stuff for this retrigger that would be handy then I don’t have to trawl through chat

[modern kindle]

i thin context.starting_shop is the new context for shop

[old bane]

is there an unlock condition to unlocks a Joker after defeating a certain boss blind?

[manic rune]

it definitely retriggers properly now, but i dont know how to set self_retriggers to 0 at context.before, but also make it so that the code completely ignores it if the joker is currently being retriggered

[modern kindle]

so you can just debuff it when that happens, undebuff after

[manic rune]

ah ok, wait

[wintry solar]

You can add a not context.retrigger_joker to anything you don’t want to retrigger

[open trench]

anyone else getting an issue rn with the mod manager where the game just won't open?

i tried swapping the steam mod, it'll start to boot up

and then just close itself

and the lovely log seemingly says theres nothing wrong

[latent portal]

hey guys

so

i just found out

that

there's actually a booster pack template in the files of balatro

[maiden river]

huge

[manic rune]

this is EXACTLY what im looking for, thanks so much 😭

i managed to fix everything on my own with that, so theres no need to trouble you with dumb problems about that mechanic anymore ❤️

[modern kindle]

at least for now..

lmao

[manic rune]

-# please dont say that

[modern kindle]

LMAO

[open trench]

honestly lua programming is the most obnoxious shit i've ever worked with lmfao

[wintry solar]

That’s great news! I’m hoping to have my updated calculation page done soon that will have little tips like this throughout it

that would be really great, and maybe finally we will have DOCUMENTED undocumented features :3

[wintry solar]

Don’t be silly I’ll just add more undocumented stuff

[hushed field]

what's the most obscure undocumented feature in smods rn?

[modern kindle]

the one none know of

[old bane]

rn for me it's unlock conditions

i think we'd be in a pretty freakin bad position there if we couldnt launch the game

[modern kindle]

have you already done the method of removing mods 1 by 1 to see if a mod doesnt agree with your setup

[open trench]

yes it seemingly isn't any one mod

but occasionally the game just doesn't work

idk

[tall apex]

so i've got my joker sort of working, but im running into an issue where the text is showing up on the joker it's looking at rather than the preffered outcome being it shows it's own message under itself

[manic rune]

probably your computer issues at that point 😭

[manic rune]

what do you mean by that?

[tall apex]

can you specify where a message comes from?

[manic rune]

you can

[tall apex]

oh how?

[open trench]

i used Pokermon the other day and every joker bio was "Needs text to work"

[manic rune]

return{
card = (the card you want the message to pop out from),
message = "something"
}

[tall apex]

oh, can i use two return functions to seperate where it sees the other joker triggering but it itself gives the chips?

[manic rune]

or alternatively, if you want the return{} to still have messages on the joker, but you also want some messages to be on other cards

use card_eval_status_text()

[tall apex]

this is my set up rn, im aiming for the chips to be under this joker, rather than the one it's seeing trigger

[manic rune]

card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "Hello World!"})

[manic rune]

oh

remove cardarea, post_trigger

remove other_card

put card = card, in there

so it should be something like

return {
card = card,
chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
sound = 'cringe_sfx_mfw',
}

[chrome widget]

What you've done here is copied the table the SMODS docs showed you for what the context contains

This isn't the correct format for return tables

[manic rune]

^

its more like references

[tall apex]

ah . 3.

[manic rune]

not something you actually return lol

[tall apex]

so um, now my game crashes when i select cards

[manic rune]

💀

wha

[chrome widget]

Not sure it's 100% related to this, but you'll need to add an additional check for the cardarea

[tall apex]

do you goobs wanna see the joker btw

[chrome widget]

Right now you're only checking context.post_trigger, but you only want to check that for certain card areas (G.jokers, primarily)

[manic rune]

oops, wrong direction

[tall apex]

wait so add back the stuff i had?

[manic rune]

no

[chrome widget]

No

[tall apex]

ah.

[manic rune]

if context.post_trigger and context.cardarea == G.jokers then

thats what they meant

[chrome widget]

if context.post_trigger and context.cardarea == G.jokers then

oop, beat me to it

[tall apex]

oh.....

[manic rune]

i average at about 150 wpm lol

sometimes 180 wpm if im feeling like it :3

[tall apex]

gawt dayum

okie lemme try this

[chrome widget]

Im like 120 on a good day but I never actually learned home keys typing so I only use my index fingers, which is more mistake prone

Larger movements and all that

[modern kindle]

i leave you all int he dust at a solid lioke 40-60 😎

[manic rune]

i forgot to log in most of the times, but here :3

[tall apex]

OK NOW I CAN EARN CHIPS IN THE STORE WHAT THE FUCK

thats actually kinda cool i might keep that

[chrome widget]

Perhaps the post_trigger needs to be checked for G.play instead?

[manic rune]

post_trigger checks for a lot of context lol

[modern kindle]

cant you also just debuff it in context.starting_shop so it doesnt work in shop

[tall apex]

behold, premptive scoring

[hushed field]

I'm trying to finish up every joker I have an asset for and I'm now arriving at them being either coding challenges or really vaguely defined concepts of a concept for an ability 😢 I miss being able to just burp up 10 jokers in an hour

[manic rune]

i love the first one 😭

[manic rune]

i finish a joker every 2 hour

because of the nature of my mod

[tall apex]

thats the one im working on!! its mfw joker

[manic rune]

its fine :3

[tall apex]

it gives 5 chips whenever a joker triggers

[hushed field]

Yeah, I can imagine, Bepis, haha

[tall apex]

which, i didd not expect to count WHEN NOT IN THE GAME

happy acciddent, keeping it

[modern kindle]

remember, all bugs are features

[hushed field]

I have some that are really easy to do, but then I've been working 3 days exclusively on getting Nope to work (though that did need a whole generic system to be set up, so that makes sense)

[manic rune]

i uh, always try to make my jokers more unique than others, like this one

[tall apex]

PREACH!! most people don't know attack canceling was originally a bug in sf2, but they kept it because they liked it, and its now one of the most prominent mechanics of the genre!

little fun fact for you folks c:

[manic rune]

her e1 also makes it pretty fun to play around with the mechanic too

you would have to reposition the inflicted card in your hand so that it always spread to 2 cards

[hard flume]

Balatro modding is fun cuz I get to add whatever and no one can stop me /hj

[tall apex]

im gonna try this for science tho

[manic rune]

it is

[tall apex]

my first joker is a chain smoker, it really is open ended

[manic rune]

no one can stop me from turning balatro into a turn-based game :3

[tall apex]

boofin' benji my beloved <3

[manic rune]

crap

[tall apex]

girl did you actually just retest XD

[manic rune]

well im definitely rusty now ❤️

[tall wharf]

wat hte ufkc

HOW

[modern kindle]

zamn, i think before i had some surgeries on my arms i was up there in wpm too

now though im in agony going to 60

[manic rune]

im a pretty good typist myself lmfao

[manic rune]

damn, what happened?

[modern kindle]

i was in the service, nerves got fried in both arms and prior to surgeries my body tried fixing it by destroying muscle

so now im sorta cucked on typing speeds

[green mica]

holy fuck I just figured out how to hook functions

It's like the whole world just opened up to me

[tall wharf]

how do people use google sheets

[hard flume]

I had an idea for the Cat Rank, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement.

[manic rune]

oof, sorry to hear that :(

[tall wharf]

i don't like using sheets frankly

[tall wharf]

ah.

[manic rune]

why limit yourself to google sheets

[tall wharf]

sorry to hear that

[manic rune]

make your own website instead :3

[modern kindle]

poorly, but effectively

each colored box represents a person and if completed, in progress, or not their job

[manic rune]

nah but srsly, yall use google sheets to plan out your jokers?

[tall wharf]

do you just slap this here

[modern kindle]

all gang, i try my best here nonetheless

[tall wharf]

i don't like planning

[manic rune]

i use notepad 😭

[modern kindle]

i got that real bad memory so if i dont write it down i will NOT remember

[manic rune]

i actually still have some of the jokers i planned here

:3

the way i described them doesnt make it sound like they are jokers from balatro at all lmfao

[hard flume]

The idea is that it starts out giving 9 chips, but loses .5 chips every time it's played, until it reaches 0, then resets back to 9

[tall apex]

redstome..,

[manic rune]

yeah thats cool

should be easy

good luck :D

[tall apex]

oh also in hindsight i should ask bepis, preferred pronounce? c:

[manic rune]

im a guy

[tall apex]

okie cool just checking!

[manic rune]

doesnt prevent me from using ":3" though :3

its silly

[tall apex]

I'll probably get that working later, when I implement more stuff to my mod

Hey is there a program that makes programming a mod for balatro easier?

[manic rune]

visual studio code

best code editor available

who up coding in they visual studio

[manic rune]

my jokers.lua will soon reach 4k lines

yipee

i dunno how yall have that game activity tbh 😭

[hardy viper]

[manic rune]

gah

what extension

[dusk basin]

Thx

[wintry solar]

This is my current list of anyone can think of anything else they’d like explaining

[manic rune]

cant wait to flex to my friends that im a no-life on visual studio code

:3

pretty sure its just called discord presence

[manic rune]

oh i see

[formal parrot]

Halo

[tall apex]

oh now its crashing again heck

[manic rune]

hi :D
-# do i know u?

[formal parrot]

How’s working on your mod been ?

[tall wharf]

can i even edit my own mod wiki page

[manic rune]

its been good

[tall wharf]

on wikipedia it's like

[manic rune]

made a lot of progress thanks to everyone's help

[tall wharf]

conflict of interest but this isn't

[manic rune]

everything i could ever ask for is all on here

:3

oh, what about stuffs like where to find the colors?

for localization

[tall apex]

hamburger c:

[manic rune]

some people dont know where to find them lol

and maybe other global vars some people will be asking for too, like current score, score requirement, but that does seem a bit too much work

[tall wharf]

how do i phrase

[tall apex]

ok new question time

[tall wharf]

"whatever I wanna add"

to sound more professional

[manic rune]

"fuck your opinions"

uh

[tall apex]

the chips are triggering, but the sound is only triggering once and not when other jokers are triggered

. 3.

[modern kindle]

any other elements i intend to incorporate

[manic rune]

-# that explains your blinds

[tall wharf]

😭

life is tough

[modern kindle]

hear me out

have you tried making it not tough

[manic rune]

yeah but do you have to vent it towards others :3

[manic rune]

no but like, do you know me from somewhere? 😭

that seems a bit random, but i really appreciate it

[modern kindle]

secret super fan you have

[manic rune]

theres no way i have fans lmfao

[modern kindle]

im ur fan bestie

[manic rune]

i mean, my mod is not even out yet 💀

[manic rune]

aw, im ur fan too :3

[tall apex]

awe c:

[wintry solar]

Hmmm, maybe a useful values part could help for that

[manic rune]

that would be cool to have for beginners

[tall apex]

i need more help ugh-

[wintry solar]

What are you struggling with?

[tall wharf]

i hit the wall with a stick so hard i chipped a tiny bit of it away

[tall apex]

well, my joker is functional in practice, its just the visuals and sounds that are all wack

[wintry solar]

What’s the intended effect?

[tall apex]

right now i have this, but the intended effect is for this joker to be the one with the +5 flair

[wintry solar]

This will trigger an awful lot

Is that okay?

[tall apex]

the other problem is the sound isn't playing when it's scoring chips, but rather before the played even starts which is weird

[tall apex]

yes.

it's called cringe circus for a reason LMAO

[wintry solar]

Anyway, you’ll need to provide a custom message to have a custom sound play

And replace the card = card line with message_card = card

[tall apex]

gotcha

that won't effect scoring tho?

[wintry solar]

No

For your custom message use chip_message = something and add sound = “key” instead of your play sound line

[tall apex]

can i make the custom message just say how many chips are scoring (almost always 5 at a time)

i tried this but that didnt work

[wintry solar]

Don’t use brackets

[tall apex]

ohhh

[tall wharf]

i hit my limit of 10 YouTube shorts per day I'll go back to code

[modern kindle]

my limit is more akin to 10 as well
just hours instead of shorts

[tall apex]

hmm, now theres no message

[wintry solar]

Oh wait hang on

chip_message = {
    message = “+”..card.ability.extra.chips,
    sound = “key”
}```

[tall apex]

THIS IS THE ANSWER OM G

[wintry solar]

I forgot how chip message works 🤣

[tall apex]

with 2 periods?

[hardy viper]

concatenation operator

[wintry solar]

Yes

[hardy viper]

my face when . .. and ... have three completely different meanings

[wintry solar]

Looking at the code it seems message card doesn’t work for scoring messages, I should update that

[tall apex]

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wiggle-crazy-cat-zoomies-gif-9877358298643393466

how does this look chat

[tall apex]

oh isn't there a way to make the backround blue instead of yellow?

like the particles behind the text

i did that a bit ago but now ive forgot

[hardy viper]

({...})["1".."2"] = "a"..({...})[1].b

completely valid code that does absolutely nothing

Would anyone know how to fix this?

battle music accomplished! all battle themes cleanly sync with each other, though they won't sync with balatro's standard theme because idk how long it is

also nintendo lawyers please don't kill me

[wintry solar]

Add colour = G.C.BLUE to the chip message table

[tall apex]

was looking all over smod wiki for this, thanks so much for all your help

wait i think having two of these and one trigger genuinely softlocks the game...

nice!!

oh shoot the chip message is still appearing

[zealous glen]

Can’t you look at the sound file?

[simple mural]

How to determine that the boss blind is over?

[old bane]

true

[open trench]

anyone got any ideas?

[sharp blade]

depends on what you want

if it's a joker effect at end of round (like campfire resetting) then you can just use context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss

[tall wharf]

chat

[open trench]

I thought it might have been talisman but i'm not sure, Shuffling out mods hasn't seemed to help? it's almost like some mod is leaving behind files even after I remove them from the modfolder?

idk honestly anyone willing to help me is my actual fucking hero 🙏🏻

Another Estrogen?

[tall wharf]

😭

[strong jacinth]

How do i create a tab_definition_function

[simple mural]

When I beat the boss blind, boolean

[zealous glen]

But what for

[simple mural]

Maybe it's not necessary anymore, I wanted to make a joker that gives money after the boss blind

[zealous glen]

Just do what Rocket does

[simple mural]

Almost, just a fixed amount

[tall apex]

does anyone know how to get rid of the chip message?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[red flower]

use chips_mod instead of chips

[zealous glen]

But it’s the same mechanism as Rocket

[simple mural]

But I found another idea to implement

[zealous glen]

I’m not telling you to do Rocket 2: the Rocketning

[tall wharf]

chat wtf

[zealous glen]

Goth cards

[red flower]

kirby

[tall apex]

this card doesnt have a chips mod but ill try

[tall wharf]

😭

[strong jacinth]

Yo N

[tall wharf]

im replacing the self destructs sticker

[strong jacinth]

How are you?

[tall apex]

this broke it :c

[simple mural]

It will just give money with a chance at the end of the round.

[zealous glen]

I wonder how many mods have the Temporary/Self-Destructive sticker

I think 3 at least

[dim lynx]

Isn’t that just perishable

[zealous glen]

No

[dim lynx]

How is it different

[zealous glen]

Temporary goes away at the end of round

[dim lynx]

So I buy a joker for one round?

[zealous glen]

#💻・modding-dev message

[dim lynx]

Ah that makes more sense

It’s for playing cards not jokers

[zealous glen]

It can go on Jokers too

But you won’t find it in the shop

[tall wharf]

better?

[simple mural]

How can I add money?

[zealous glen]

You can just return dollars IIRC

[zealous glen]

Can I have a full comparison of both?

On a card?

I think I like the original more

You could also do three teeth instead of buck teeth, maybe

[simple mural]

I tried doing this but i got an error

[zealous glen]

What error

[latent portal]

hey quick question

[latent portal]

how do i set up the loc_vars of a booster pack

[zealous glen]

I meant the one you posted a few minutes ago

[latent portal]

because card.config doesn't work

[zealous glen]

Also on a card in-game

[tall wharf]

oh

[strong jacinth]

-# (Bump)

[zealous glen]

Since Stickers have their own shader too

[zealous glen]

You just return the amount you want to add

[simple mural]

(I also don't know how to make random normally)

[zealous glen]

Take a look at Pippi Panini from my mod

Not quite the same but similar

[simple mural]

Is this some kind of mod or did you make it yourself?

[zealous glen]

It looks too centralized

I think you can use the Eternal space

Since nothing should be Eternal and Temporary

That’s what I did

[latent portal]

nvm

[tall wharf]

[zealous glen]

It looks good. At most I’d suggest what already suggested re: positioning and teeth, but the art itself looks

[strong jacinth]

-# Bump, again

[latent portal]

is anyone here experienced with making custom booster packs?

[strong jacinth]

Depends, why

[latent portal]

i'm trying to make one

I got the basic information down, but I need help with basically everything else

[strong jacinth]

Like what, specifically

[latent portal]

Like how to set up certain cards to appear in the booster pack

[strong jacinth]

Have you checked the docs for anything useful?

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

[latent portal]

I've been reading the docs

But I learn better with examples

Also

Quick question

Can you generate a voucher inside a booster pack

like is it theoretically possible

[strong jacinth]

Yes

[latent portal]

Awesome

[strong jacinth]

Theoretically anything is possible, it just depends how far you're willing to go

[open trench]

i might be giving up on trying to get as many mods as possible

it's simply just too obnoxious and mods simply just aren't compatable enough lol

i wanted to see what it would be like if I had like 1K different jokers lol

balatro modding is difficult :3

[marble thunder]

On the smod wiki is there an updated guide/example on registering new objs

Not specifically creating their functions, just registering

[red flower]

Everything in the wiki is updated afaik, some things might just be undocumented

u can check the ones in joyousspring but i dont know how useful that will be

how did you manage to get this sorted? mine just crashes

just the one

[strong jacinth]

Or still joyous

[strong jacinth]

Holy shit

Where do you get the art?

[dim lynx]

[red flower]

it's official art

[strong jacinth]

Or do you make it yourself

this is my code

            "{C:attention}#1#{} of {C:attention}#2#{}",

    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = { extra = 3, choose = 1},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, pack)
        return { vars= {self.config.choose, self.config.extra} }
    end,
    weight = 3,
    cost = 5,
    kind = "jimbo"
}```

[kind hedge]

Anyone know how to compare money with a value since it just crashes for me when I attempt it

[kind hedge]

thank you!

[latent portal]

btw

u dont need to add EVERY value

some values are just set automatically by default

for example, blueprint_compat is always true by default

[strong jacinth]

Btw does anyone know what i need in a tab definitoion

[wintry solar]

I’d recommend setting them all

[marble thunder]

Gotcha
Havent seen an example of mass registering jokers

[red flower]

yes it's a function that returns a UI definition table

[marble thunder]

as opposed to doing them manually 1 by 1 ( )

[hard flume]

Hihi

[red flower]

i have an objecttype in joyousspring where i register all the jokers from my mod, if that's what you mean
i can send u the link if it helps

[strong jacinth]

But like how do i "use" it, how do i put a card are for example

[red flower]

you put the cardarea in a UIT.O node

you need to create it inside the function or it will get destroyed after and cause problems

[strong jacinth]

So inside the tab create func

[red flower]

yeah

[tardy wind]

Anyone's got a guideline list for spritesheets like jokers ?

[strong jacinth]

Wait, i forgot, how do i create a card area?

[tardy wind]

Theres an aseprite plugin I intend to use but its more about the overall sheet formatting, spacing..

[simple mural]

How can I repeat Hiker Joker but with money?

[tall wharf]

YOOOOOOOO WTF

WHY IS THE BG BLACK

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[regal pagoda]

Hey, quick question, is there a simple way to always spawn a joker as a certain edition (like when it shows up in the shop I guess)

[red flower]

check the games code for CardArea(0,

[tall tangle]

Easiest way to know that is to look at how it's implemented in Cryptid on Stardust, Foil Joker, and the ones for Holographic and Astral card bonus boosts.
Those Jokers always show up as their relevant editions.

[regal pagoda]

Nice, thanks for the lead

[kindred heron]

how do i change the starting deck like abandoned deck

[strong jacinth]

Are there any simple card area mods?

[red flower]

i dont play many mods sorry

[stiff locust]

is this not how you change a card's base anymore
assert(SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, nil, "5"))

getting assertion failed crash on this line

I'm stupid what should I do

[normal crest]

G.play not G.Play

[strong jacinth]

Wait, N

Whats the difference between

Open and show

[tall wharf]

i love UI

[kindred heron]

what are these?

[simple mural]

Thx

[strong jacinth]

I hate UI (How did you create the card are)

[old bane]

should be a SMODS wiki page on those

[kindred heron]

oh okay found it

thx

[red flower]

open creates the graveyard overlay and show shows the button when you have something in there

[frosty dock]

small issue, i keep hitting this crash randomly out of nowhere

it only happens on my branch but I can't think of anything I've changed that would cause this

[strong jacinth]

How do I make it show permanently?

Jist like: return true or sum

[wintry solar]

blind calculate is legit

[red flower]

just don't include a "func" in your button

[frosty dock]

i just don't know why it's so crashy 😭

[strong jacinth]

Oh, thanks

[frosty dock]

or is it literally just me

[kindred heron]

Ok, so when a new run starts, I want the deck to remove a card and replace it with a queen, i have event manager set up but idk what to do

[zealous glen]

Brazilian Balatro? 🤔

[kindred heron]

like how do i even do something like that

[simple mural]

No HUE Balatro as HUE offset in photo editor

[zealous glen]

I see

[tall wharf]

guild tags are dead

[zealous glen]

Guild Tags?

[frosty dock]

weird discord feature

[gleaming zealot]

gY

i stil have it should i update discord

[zealous glen]

I’ve only seen them recently

[old bane]

i think you have to like remove a card from G.playing_cards and then emplace a queen into G.playing_cards

[tall wharf]

crying

[old bane]

you can remove by doing something like card:start_dissolve() or something

[simple mural]

Oh...

[kind hedge]

Dumb question, firstly I dont know why G.GAME.dollars is a table, but how would I get the value of it to compare

[tall wharf]

you have talisman™️

[kind hedge]

ahhh

that'd be it

I didnt have it previous when working on this mod that explains it

thank you

[tall wharf]

wtf do i do to scale this down bruh 😭

[kindred heron]

thank you

[old bane]

you could also look at the examples for decks in the example mods from smods

they will probably be able to explain it better than i can

[kind hedge]

how would I destroy a card after it scored?

[red flower]

what's thingo2

[kind hedge]

I saw this before but couldnt exactly figure it out
I'll attempt it again

[latent portal]

i want to make a table with certain values

[strong jacinth]

Its the button that makes it crash

[latent portal]

i want each value to have a different weight

how could i do that

(im selecting one at random using pseudorandom)

[glad osprey]

lazy answer fill the table with lots of copys of the same item you want to have a higher weight

(dont do this)

[red flower]

smart answer fill the table with lots of copies of the same item

[tall wharf]

help

what do i need

to change the width of the thing while rendering

[red flower]

you can give them number weights then sum all of them and get a random number between 0 and that sum and that's your item

[tall wharf]

so

Tarot

iirc

[latent portal]

capital T?

[old bane]

yes

[latent portal]

yes. the return table can probably be empty? if you're testing just set all three of them to the function you already have

[tall wharf]

@tall wharf how did you implement the debuff seal? I can't find it :<

[obsidian nexus]

How could I prevent a consumable from being sold ?

[latent portal]

is there anywhere where i can reference the keys for all the card sets (tarot, spectral, etc?)

[unkempt thicket]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS['set_key'] might work

[latent portal]

no like

somewhere where i can find them

and see them

so i know what they are

[red flower]

search P_CENTERS

[latent portal]

where that

[red flower]

it's in game.lua i think

[unkempt thicket]

Do you need to get the keys for a certain card set?

[latent portal]

i found them

they were in P_CENTER_POOLS

[latent portal]

btw can i use pseudorandom to get a number like this

[red flower]

yes, the second and third arguments are min and max

[zealous glen]

Did you ever make this?

[wintry solar]

yes

[latent portal]

does pseudorandom generate decimal numbers by default?

is there a way to make it so it doesn't do that?

[red flower]

floor it?

[latent portal]

like for example

im looking for 1, 2, or 3

(entries in a table)

wtf do i do if it returns .34

[red flower]

math.floor

[latent portal]

ogh

thats a thing

[zealous glen]

If you have an random number between 0 and 1, you can scale and translate it t have an uniform distribution in any range

[haughty cypress]

Fire idea or nah ?💯

[zealous glen]

you can cast it into an integer before or after

I think after might be easier to think about

but also if you want to select from a table

there's already a vanilla random function for that

[zealous glen]

SMODS.blueprint_effect?

[waxen mesa]

Not as an uncommon

Like make it at least multiplicative multi

[wintry solar]

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

[red flower]

btw what i was saying before with the weights was something like this:
{{item = "item1", weight = 1},
{item= "item2", weight = 0.2},
{item="item3", weight =0.1}}
then you get a number between 0 and 1.3 and if it falls for example in 1.25 then that's greater than the sum of the first 2 so you select item 3

[latent portal]

gotcha

[zealous glen]

So I have to calculate the effect inside my Joker's calculate function?

[latent portal]

so for instance

[wintry solar]

or return it

[zealous glen]

That's what I had assumed

also

[latent portal]

i could check the number i generated with the weight of every number in the list

[zealous glen]

I can change the colour of the message box

[latent portal]

then if the weight is lower i add it to a variable and keep looking?
