of course

[zealous glen]

I found the implementation casting it to blue a bit weird

[latent portal]

and when the variable is greater i return that

[zealous glen]

Since it should work the same for Brainstorm

But Brainstorm uses red IIRC

[red flower]

yeah

[chrome widget]

Deep cut reference to our server but changing Jimbo quotes is fun

[wintry solar]

I don't think it matters what the default colour is

[chrome widget]

Also I need to use save states for debugging purposes more often

[zealous glen]

Is it intentional that it ignores Blueprint compatibility?

I assume so

[wintry solar]

blueprint compat is purely a UI value

[zealous glen]

That's why I assumed so

[chrome widget]

Oh does blueprint compat not also prevent a blueprint context from being fired?

[zealous glen]

no

You have to manually code it

Which makes sense for multi-part effects that are partially compatible

[wintry solar]

we should probably make it an actual functional value though

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar by the way do you know what's the correct way to debuff and recalc debuff on cards now?

[latent portal]

would this work?

    create_card = function (self, card, i)
        local epicsigmajimbotable = {
            spawntarot = {
                set = "Tarot",
                weight = 1
            },
            spawnplanet = {
                set = "Planet",
                weight = 1,
            },
            spawnjoker = {
                set = "Joker",
                weight = 1
            }
        }
        local jimbotableweight = 0
        local randomnumber = pseudorandom(pseudoseed("haimynameisJIM"))
        for i = 1, #epicsigmajimbotable do
            if randomnumber > jimbotableweight + i.weight then
                jimbotableweight = jimbotableweight + i.weight
            else
                return SMODS.create_card({
                    set = i.set,
                    area = G.pack_cards
                })
            end
        end
    end,```

[wintry solar]

I do not

[red flower]

it should yes

[unkempt thicket]

How could i make a new type for ante instead of round.

[red flower]

oh it should be epicsigmajimbotable[i]

[latent portal]

where

[red flower]

all the is

[hard flume]

Is it even possible for Ranks and/or suits to even have unique function?

[red flower]

i.weight and i.set

[tardy wind]

well yes

[hard flume]

Oh cool. How would I go about doing that?

[scarlet spire]

ough it works

[hushed field]

ooh, that's a fun addition. Does every card just have a limited amount of uses?

[scarlet spire]

it doesn't turn the cards you play into garbage, just a random 1-2 cards in your deck whenever a hand is played

[simple mural]

There is a lack of a ban on destroying them

[scarlet spire]

yeah, you can destroy them with tarots or various jokers

[latent portal]

WELP

anyone know why THAT happened

[chrome widget]

Not me adding if context.blueprint then return end to every single joker

[red flower]

can i see the code now

[ivory coral]

hi chat, need some help getting this damned joker to work
im trying to destroy the cards contained within card.ability.extra.die (they are added correctly and stuff, just the destroying is difficult rn) after scoring is done, but this damn context.destroying_card and :start_dissolve are driving me up the wall after trying to wrangle it for ages now, how do i do this correctly?

        if context.before then
            card.ability.extra.count = 0
            card.ability.extra.die = {}
            for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                if not table_contains(context.scoring_hand, v) then
                    card.ability.extra.die[#card.ability.extra.die+1] = v
                    card.ability.extra.count = card.ability.extra.count + 1
                end
            end
        elseif context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local triggers = card.ability.extra.basetrig*card.ability.extra.count
            return {
                repetitions = triggers,
                message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                card = card
            }
        elseif context.destroying_card and not context.blueprint then
            if table_contains(card.ability.extra.die, context.destroying_card) then
                return { remove = true }
            end
        end
    end```

@red flower here

[red flower]

oh yeah sorry i didnt notice because it's hard to read code on mobile lol
if your table has named entries you need to use pairs()

in this case i actually would delete the names from the table, you don't need them

[latent portal]

fair

wait but

the way i set up my table

weight doesnt really do anything

[red flower]

i thought it was a test case

[latent portal]

because the max size of the number is based on table LENGTH and not total table weight

well yeah it is a test case but

i wanna make sure it works

[red flower]

the problem is that table[i] doesn't exist if the fields are named

[unkempt thicket]

Where are the temporary values for tags reset?

[frosty dock]

m

[red flower]

you're trying to destroy non scored cards?

[sturdy compass]

m

[ivory coral]

precisely
and to my knowledge they are being added to the die table

so i just want to destroy everything in it

[wintry solar]

use context.destroy_card instead

[red flower]

also I think you need to enable the unscored feature for that? is that right?

[ivory coral]

in place of the first context.destroying_card right?
i presume checking if context.destroying_card is contained in die is still correct

[wintry solar]

destroying is only on scored cards

[zealous glen]

I thought unscored support had been added

just going off short commit messages

[wintry solar]

it has

[latent portal]

hey @red flower it still crashes

[ivory coral]

ooh hang on is this a very recent thing
my smods might be out of date if so

[red flower]

may i see it

[latent portal]

    create_card = function (self, card, i)
        local epicsigmajimbotable = {
            {
                set = "Tarot",
                weight = 1
            },
            {
                set = "Planet",
                weight = 1,
            },
            {
                set = "Joker",
                weight = 0.3
            }
        }
        print ("your epic fortnite table has " .. #epicsigmajimbotable .. " entries in it milord")
        local totaltableweight = 0
        for i = 1, #epicsigmajimbotable do
            totaltableweight = totaltableweight + epicsigmajimbotable[i].weight
        end
        print ("and it has a total weight of " .. totaltableweight)
        local jimbotableweight = 0
        local randomnumber = pseudorandom(pseudoseed("haimynameisJIM"), 0, #epicsigmajimbotable)
        for i = 1, #epicsigmajimbotable do
            if randomnumber >= jimbotableweight + epicsigmajimbotable[i].weight then
                jimbotableweight = jimbotableweight + epicsigmajimbotable[i].weight
            else
                return SMODS.create_card({
                    set = epicsigmajimbotable[i].set,
                    area = G.pack_cards
                })
            end
        end
    end,

it keeps saying that t is nil

why is that

[ivory coral]

oooh yes replacing all my context.destroying_cards with context.destroy_cards and updating smods did the trick it seems

one more thing though, is there a way to add a message over the destroyed cards while they're being destroyed
do i just add a message inside the return{} next to remove = true?

[steady smelt]

is there a way to add tarots that are rarer than other tarots? replacing a certain percentage of tarots would also work for my purposes for this

^ same with spectrals and planets, i assume they'd work the same though

[red flower]

message and message_card iirc

[ivory coral]

message_card?

im not familiar with that one

[red flower]

yeah if you return a message it's on the joker i think, just return message_card = the destroyed card

[latent portal]

hey N

figure anything out?

im scratching my head here

[red flower]

nope no idea

you need to put the weight sum in the pseudorandom but i dont think its the problem

[latent portal]

yeah i did that but i rolled it back so i could show you

WAIT

when i hover over i

it says its a redefined variable

does that mean anything

HOLY SHIT

I FIXED IT

HOLY FUUUUCK

I CHANGED I TO V AND IT WORKED

[tall apex]

congrats omg!!! :3

[tall apex]

when i see those i get scared DGAK:DSGDASG

[latent portal]

and it crashed again

WHY

WHY DID IT CRASH

?????????

[red flower]

it sensed your happiness

[old bane]

what is ur crash screen btw

[latent portal]

OH

im dumb

[old bane]

oh

?

[latent portal]

i have to reset the locals back to 0

right ?

?

at the end of the thingy thing

[red flower]

no they're locals they're destroyed after the function ends

[latent portal]

sighhh

[old bane]

i assume you're creating a card somewhere with SMODS.create_card, you need to pass in a table for it to work

[latent portal]

i am

[old bane]

this is how you create the table

[latent portal]

my code is up here

[red flower]

oh maybe it never hits the else

[old bane]

yeah cause your else statement is the one that returns the table you need

[red flower]

create_card calls smods.create_card with the result so if you don't return anything it might do smods.create_card(nil)

[latent portal]

but

it's saying t is nil

oh wait

pg

pff

im dumb

the thing that goes in parentheses IS t

right?

[old bane]

yes

[latent portal]

but how is that even possible?

[red flower]

no, that part is correct

[old bane]

if ur not returning anything it defaults to nil i think

[latent portal]

so wait

hold on

let's say

i have a table of total weight 3

if i generate a random number between 0 and 3

then it can never be higher than the total weight of the table

so what gives

[zealous glen]

That's not usually how you'd use the weights

[unkempt thicket]

Where are the temporary values for tags reset?

[zealous glen]

Usually you compute the ratio of each item's weight to the total weight

Then compute the running sum of weights until it's higher than the generated number

[latent portal]

thats

what i did

isnt it

[zealous glen]

idk

[latent portal]

.

[red flower]

you did the opposite but it should work too

unless you're generating the number wrong

[red flower]

are you sure you added the correct max to pseudonumber here

[hard flume]

How do I go about making it so a rank has a card lose value each time it's played?

[latent portal]

im gonna send my code one more time

create_card = function (self, card, i)
        local epicsigmajimbotable = {
            {
                set = "Tarot",
                weight = 1
            },
            {
                set = "Planet",
                weight = 1,
            },
            {
                set = "Joker",
                weight = 0.3
            }
        }
        print ("your epic fortnite table has " .. #epicsigmajimbotable .. " entries in it milord")
        local totaltableweight = 0
        for v in pairs(epicsigmajimbotable) do
            totaltableweight = totaltableweight + epicsigmajimbotable[v].weight
        end
        print ("and it has a total weight of " .. totaltableweight)
        local jimbotableweight = 0
        local randomnumber = pseudorandom(pseudoseed("haimynameisJIM"), 0, totaltableweight)
        for v in pairs(epicsigmajimbotable) do
            if randomnumber >= jimbotableweight + epicsigmajimbotable[v].weight then
                jimbotableweight = jimbotableweight + epicsigmajimbotable[v].weight
            else
                return SMODS.create_card({
                    set = epicsigmajimbotable[v].set,
                    area = G.pack_cards
                })
            end
        end
    end,```

is there anything blatantly wrong here

[red flower]

yes

use i, v in ipairs(

[latent portal]

oh

why

what is i doing

[red flower]

because it's an indexed list

also even if you're using pairs it gives you a tuple

[latent portal]

oh

thats shit

thanks

[red flower]

you would also need to change these to v.weight and v.set

[latent portal]

why does it say i is a redefined local though

[latent portal]

.

ooooooohhh

that

actually makes a lot of sense

would it be ok if i did for _, v in ipairs since i isnt used

[red flower]

yeah

[latent portal]

i give tf up

[red flower]

did u replace the other for

[green mica]

I have a question about SMODS. You know how when you use create_card it doesn't actually emplace it in the card area and it just ends up like... on the screen and you can just drag it around wherever? Is there like a way to check for a card like that somehow, like does it actually exist in a way that it can be referenced?

[latent portal]

which one

[latent portal]

create_card = function (self, card, i)
        local epicsigmajimbotable = {
            {
                set = "Tarot",
                weight = 1
            },
            {
                set = "Planet",
                weight = 1,
            },
            {
                set = "Joker",
                weight = 0.3
            }
        }
        print ("your epic fortnite table has " .. #epicsigmajimbotable .. " entries in it milord")
        local totaltableweight = 0
        for _, v in ipairs(epicsigmajimbotable) do
            totaltableweight = totaltableweight + v.weight
        end
        print ("and it has a total weight of " .. totaltableweight)
        local jimbotableweight = 0
        local randomnumber = pseudorandom(pseudoseed("haimynameisJIM"), 0, totaltableweight)
        for _, v in ipairs(epicsigmajimbotable) do
            if randomnumber >= jimbotableweight + v.weight then
                jimbotableweight = jimbotableweight + v.weight
            else
                return SMODS.create_card({
                    set = v.set,
                    area = G.pack_cards
                })
            end
        end
    end,```

WHY doesnt this work

[frosty dock]

SMODS.add_card auto-emplaces, but I guess that's not really your question. unemplaced cards don't have an easy reference for you to grab, you'd basically have to iterate over all card instances in G.I.CARD and check for each card if it has an area

[green mica]

I see!

Yeah I know about add_card I'm trying to do something funky

[unkempt thicket]

Where are the temporary values for tags reset?

[frosty dock]

they also don't get saved in any way. so if you reload the run, they're just gone

[green mica]

Yeah, I'm also aware of that, I've decided not to think about that problem just yet lol

[frosty dock]

fair enough haha

[latent portal]

aure please bless me with your infinite knowledge. why is it telling me that t is a nil value

[frosty dock]

if you're the one creating the free cards, your best bet should be to store the cards somewhere yourself

[edgy reef]

create_card always expect a return value

From here it looks like there's a chance the function returns nothing

[frosty dock]

that looks about right

[red flower]

i copy pasted ur code and it worked

lol

[latent portal]

what cards did you get

it worked for me

but only once

[red flower]

planets and jokers

[latent portal]

okay so its not a card type issue

[red flower]

you might need a default return

[merry raven]

How would I go about implementing rescoring
Like after when the scoring ends, scoring will commence another time

Looked up chats and saw stuff about SMODS.score_card but there are a lot of ways to use it so I'm confused

[frosty dock]

SMODS.calculate_main_scoring is a full scoring loop, you can look at how it's implemented

[merry raven]

Gotcha

Damn practically no one used it according to this server's chats

[old bane]

how would i use create_replace_sound so that a sound only replaces the standard balatro bgm once during a specific state of the game every time that state happens

[red flower]

it has a problem when the random number is exactly 3

which it probably shouldnt be

[zealous glen]

If you want, say, a 50/50 chance, then the intervals x < 0.5 and 0.5 <= x <= 1 have the same size

so you only need to check all but the last option

[red flower]

oh it's because pseudorandom only takes ints

[latent portal]

w h a t

[zealous glen]

or maybe the issue is elsewhere XP

[red flower]

it's rounding 2.3 up to 3

[latent portal]

is #list not an integer

oh

[green mica]

This totally works exactly how I wanted thank you so much

[latent portal]

so no decimal weights

[green mica]

hahaha

[latent portal]

got it

[green mica]

awesome

[hard flume]

I might have to ditch the idea I had :(

[latent portal]

okay

i got it

and THAT

WAS THE EASY PART

now i have to do the HARD PART

which is all the MINIGAME BULLSHIT i wanna do

[red flower]

good luck

[old bane]

how do i have a sound play once, overriding the background music, then have it resume the background music once it's done playing? I wanna have a victory theme but I don't want it to keep looping >_<

[hard flume]

I really don't know how to have my rank change values, so I'm just gonna have it as a solid 9 for now

[old bane]

i think multiranks are something that was said to be very hard to do but they were considered at one point for SMODS

#💻・modding-dev message

you can read these messages for why

[hard flume]

Ah, got it. Mine would keep it's place in the rank order, but I get why they don't want to implement it

[unkempt thicket]

oops

[red flower]

i love discards

[novel violet]

waiter waiter, more discards please!

[hard flume]

I'll just do some unique Jokers for my rank instead.

[merry raven]

I did find something like this across different mods on GitHub

for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                                SMODS.calculate_main_scoring({cardarea = v, full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands}, v == G.play and scoring_hand or nil)
                            end

Is this one of the proper ways of using it? Still not sure where I should use this since I'm getting the error attempt to call field 'calculate_main_scoring' (a nil value)

[wintry swallow]

i want to make a custom joker but i dont know how to code, is there any tutorial out there?

[hard flume]

But I'm tired working on rank and suit stuff, so I'm gonna take a break and make some new mechanics for my mod

[old bane]

i also dk if you meant an enhancement that switches its rank every round but

[old bane]

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

besides those, https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master

i feel like we should have a pin for these resources just so people have a good place to get started

[hard flume]

No, I meant. I added a custom rank, but I want it to be unique in that it loses value over time and then resets.

[old bane]

ohhh i see, well i feel like that would be okay enough since it only ever has one value per round?

but i feel like it would be more like an enhancement than anything

because if you just do an actual rank I think it'll lose value once and then it'll be like an Ace or a King

[hard flume]

Fair but. It's the Cat Rank. Cats have 9 lives.

[old bane]

true

[hard flume]

It's fine though, I'm not too upset about it.

[unkempt thicket]

Getting up there, only stops when round ends. (for a short time)

[hard flume]

It's just something that would've been neat

[simple mural]

I tried this joker, if you try to play the same cards with a joker from the start, by 6 ante from one card it will be about $20

[old bane]

since SMODS.Rank doesn't really have a calculate function I don't know if that would be possible, but again, an Enhancement probably would be better?

[tall apex]

not enough discards imo

80k should be balanced

[old bane]

you'd discard your entire deck

[tall apex]

yes.

[unkempt thicket]

Its only when you get a certain tag, then it stops between every action just to add more discards

[hard flume]

Probably. I wonder if it's possible to make an enhancement that automatically applies to all copies of rank? That could solve my problem, I think.

[old bane]

hmm dk

maybe it'd be possible to target it through G.playing_cards, since that's your entire deck?

[simple mural]

Boss Blind where the number of hands is reduced by the number of discards:

[old bane]

-50 billion hands

[simple mural]

And instant loss

[kind hedge]

Working out well

[merry raven]

I really like that The Board joker

[kind hedge]

I made sure the description was similar

Still need to make the functionality work

[latent portal]

question real quick

is there a way to spawn jimbo and make him talk

[simple mural]

I have an idea for someone to implement.
Infinity Balatro.
There are no blinds, instead there is a progress bar for which you get money.
The store is accessible at any time, it is updated every 5 rounds or for money.
The first 5 rounds (According to the number of points for the first 5 blinds) there is no debuff, then every 5 rounds a random debuff as with the boss blind.
The deck is also restored every 5 rounds.

[latent portal]

How to crash your game speedrun

[simple mural]

It is possible to increase the size of the blinds, but still limit hands and discards between every 5 rounds

[hard flume]

I could use events, maybe, actually. I'll try that later. As I said, I'm tired of working on this rank, trying to get it to work.

[simple mural]

Gn

[red flower]

omg roguelike balatro

the idea sounds fun actually

[kind hedge]

would anyone know how to implenment this by the way

or atleast how to check for negative cards in jokers and consumables

[simple mural]

idk but u can try find something for it on the SMOSD wiki

And also u can try find mods that work with editions, for study

[kind hedge]

Shall get to work then, thank you

[old bane]

so like
"Every Negative Card will give X3 Mult?"

you could make it so that it goes through each card area (G.consumeables, G.hand.cards, context.full_hand/G.play.cards, and G.jokers.cards) and check if those cards have edition.negative

[kind hedge]

that sounds like what it is I have to do yea

will look into making it check each area

[gray quartz]

look how the game does it in card_character.lua, i gotta get to it eventually too so idk for sure but you should start there

[scarlet spire]

opening and closing the deck is not supposed to add a permanent event to the event queue... right

I thought this was an issue with my custom deck but this seems to just, happen?

[latent portal]

okay so

looking into it

i have discovered the function Card_Character:init

which takes 5 args

x position, y position, width, height, and "config"

there's also Card_Character:move(dt), which makes him move to a specified location

Card_Character:add_button, which... adds a button

presumably

[steady smelt]

is there a way to find what card would have been generated from create_card while hooking into it?

[latent portal]

not sure

you might need to patch it

[steady smelt]

would just running a proxy create_card within the hook and checking the value of that card be the same seed-wise?

obviously avoiding loops

though, idek if i should try to keep seed rng intact considering it's probably different anyways

[tame breach]

Hey there, pretty much copied what golden card does, but want to destroy the face cards instead of turning them to gold, I tried searching and code-diving but what I attempted to piece together doesn't explain much, how would one even destroy a card?

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and not context.blueprint then
    local faces = {}
    for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if v:is_face() then 
            faces[#faces+1] = v
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    v:juice_up()
                    return true
                end
            })) 
        end
    end
    if #faces > 0 then 
        return {
            message = "Harvested!",
            colour = G.C.PURPLE,
            card = card,
            destroying_card = card
        }
    end
  end
end

Is there really no simple replacement for

To destroy cards?

[red flower]

use context.destroying_card instead of context.before and return { remove = true }

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

(you can still do the return in context.before for the harvested message)

[green mica]

placeholder asset but this is fucking awesome

[red flower]

oh that's cool

[steady smelt]

would create_card(_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append).key get the key of the created card? or is there another way to do that

[tame breach]

Ah, so I add extra if condition for context.destroying_card and put it in its own return? How would I pass the cards?

[scarlet thorn]

Havent touched modding in 1-2 months, and when I did, it was with old-calc. Are there any differences with old/new calc apis, and are there any resources available that lists them?

[red flower]

it's called for every scoring card so you can do
if context.destroying_card and context.destroying_card:is_face() then return { remove = true } end

[tame breach]

Oh! Thank you!

[scarlet spire]

never done a deck with a calculate function, why would this be crashing?

[red flower]

it would be .config.center.key

also you might want to save the created card in a local beforehand

[steady smelt]

true

[red flower]

i think it doesn't like the return true

it probably expects a table

[tame breach]

This worked great! Thank you for your help!

[scarlet spire]

ah right

[red flower]

i don't think there are, the calculate wiki page is your best option

[steady smelt]

ok problem, this still spawns the card as if it were being generated to your consumables or the shop instead of just creating it as a variable

[scarlet thorn]

Yea I was scrolling through it, nothing major seems changed. Ill just have to test the cards I have and see if they still function

[red flower]

what are you trying to do

[steady smelt]

get the key of a randomly generated card with those input parameters without actually creating the card, basically simulating opening a pack

currently it gets the key right but it also creates the card and just puts it on the screen

[red flower]

for what reason?

[latent portal]

FUUCK YEAH

[plush cove]

gomer

[latent portal]

gomer

thats not gomer actually

i made him to test spawning Jimbo and having him say custom lines

[steady smelt]

because it's creating the card?? it just doesn't have anywhere to put it so it just puts it on the screen ig

[red flower]

no, i mean why are you trying to get the key

there are simpler ways

but it depends on what you want to accomplish

[steady smelt]

effectively i want to get the key of every tarot card generated and use it to replace certain tarots with certain other ones

[red flower]

oh so you want to change the tarots in the pool?

[steady smelt]

yeah but with weights and letting me change it with jokers etc, by hooking into create_card

[red flower]

i recommend hooking get_current_pool instead

[steady smelt]

why?

[merry raven]

Do contexts not work when I'm overriding a function

[red flower]

that does the key thing that you want, it gives you the current pool and you can replace the list

you would still need to hook create_card to change the area if you want other sets so tho so maybe it's not much better

[steady smelt]

yeah i don't think that's super useful for what i'm trying to do

is there a way to modify a card after its creation rather than before? because hooking into create_card modifies it before it's created

and i want the RNG of tarots to stay the same with my stuff applied after the fact

[red flower]

I wouldn't hook create_card, i would patch it

[steady smelt]

ok what does that do and how do i do it

[rapid stag]

still looking for any help on either this or my undiscovered legendary joker description issue

[red flower]

look at the lovely readme
basically you can add things in the middle of functions instead of the beginning or end

[red flower]

wdym

[merry raven]

Nvm

[latent portal]

hey N

quick question

[red flower]

yeah

[latent portal]

how would i go about making something happen whenever a booster pack of a certain type is opened

without the help of a joker

[red flower]

hmm hook SMODS.calculate_context?

[steady smelt]

how would i get the key of whatever tarot it creates though?

[red flower]

you would check center here

you can change it there and then change the area depending of what you're changing it with

[scarlet spire]

what do I set pools: to in order to remove that card from all pools? just false?

I want an enhancement to never show up naturally in booster packs, via spectral cards, etc

[red flower]

you mean in_pool?

[tame breach]

Is there a way to resize jokers in runtime? Like make a joker change scale at the end of an ante/scoring round?
Changing display_size/pixel_size doesn't seem to work

[scarlet spire]

or, yeah that I guess, got mixed up with the enhancements page having a parameter called pool

[red flower]

yeah just make a function that returns false

[latent portal]

hey

do you guys know the func that runs whenever the game has to open a booster pack

[red flower]

pasted the wrong one lol

this one

[steady smelt]

so is this formatted correctly? first time doing patches

it doesn't seem to do anything but idk what i did wrong

[red flower]

i think the pattern has to be only one line

[steady smelt]

can it still look for multiple lines? or do i have to do before center = G.P_CENTERS[center]?

[red flower]

i would do the second option
i think you need to use regex for multiple lines but I'm not sure

[latent portal]

question

[steady smelt]

this also does nothing

[latent portal]

which area is the area where booster pack cards are displayed?

G.GAME.somethinsomethin_hand.cards, yea?

[steady smelt]

is it not just G.pack_cards?

[latent portal]

im not sure

[red flower]

worked for me

[steady smelt]

well it does nothing for me

[red flower]

check the lovely/dump to see if the code is there and check if you have lovely updated

[steady smelt]

i don't know what the first part means and i set this up days ago so i'd be surprised if it wasn't up to date but i also don't know how to check that

[red flower]

inside your mods folder there's a lovely folder

[steady smelt]

it's unchanged there

[red flower]

when you open the game what version of lovely does the console say at the top

[steady smelt]

it says
1.0.1o-FULL
1.0.0~ALPHA-1426c-STEAMODDED

oh wait console

thought that said screen

0.7.1

[red flower]

no yeah that should work

hmm are you putting the patch in a lovely.toml?

[steady smelt]

what should i be doing to initialize the patches? again haven't done this before

[steady smelt]

yeah

this is the whole thing

[red flower]

is it in the root of your mod's folder?

[steady smelt]

yup

[red flower]

idk then lol

literally the same code works for me

oh

[plush cove]

functions/common_events

[red flower]

im stupid

[steady smelt]

me too

ok now i just have to figure out how to actually add what i want to

i can make a global function in my mod then use it in the patch right?

[red flower]

yeah

[steady smelt]

pog ok i got it working this is way easier than mixins

[ionic verge]

quick question which do you think would be harder to obtain
three pairs or a five card straight

[manic rune]

straight

[distant grove]

Hi bepis

[manic rune]

hi peak :D

[old bane]

straight easily

[ionic verge]

ok cool, thats what i was thinking

so whats the pre-prefix thingy for PokerHand keys?
(not the one you set up in your mod the one thats 'j' for jokers and such)

[lyric wadi]

hey chat sorry for like parroting the same thing over and over

[ionic verge]

just like 'p' or something?

[lyric wadi]

but like i cant find anywhere else in this server where someone has given a solution

[ionic verge]

whatcha got?

[lyric wadi]

i know that mult card not multing was a commonish bug cuz i've found a couple of posts reporting it

but i don't see any fix

[ionic verge]

uh

yeah uh
i dont got anything

[lyric wadi]

i have a joker which changes the suit of the cards in your hand

[ionic verge]

that sounds very esoteric

[lyric wadi]

but any mult card that get converted this way no longer give mult

[ionic verge]

thats
weird

[lyric wadi]

EVEN if you apply the mult enhancement AFTER the suit conversion

[ionic verge]

can you post the code?

i may not be able to help but someone else might

[ionic verge]

yeah i personally dont got anything

youre in the right place to ask though so likely someone does got something for ya

[red flower]

what smods version do you have

[lyric wadi]

0301a

[red flower]

update

that's a bug in that specific version

[lyric wadi]

damn

[ionic verge]

what does the first letter of a key need to be for a poker hand?

cus its not h or p

[red flower]

have you tried without one

[ionic verge]

not yet

i just presumed that it needed that bc thats what all the other keys need

[red flower]

not always

idk about pokerhands specifically tho

[lyric wadi]

how do i update it

do i have to manually install from the hub

cuz i just used the mod manager to install

[red flower]

yeah probably

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[ionic verge]

fixed it

[steady smelt]

does in_pool work for tarots? putting in_pool = false doesn't work

or does it have to be a function that just returns false?

[red flower]

a function yes

[latent portal]

hey n

do you mind if i ask you for input on something

[red flower]

i was about to go to bed so it depends on how quick that is

[latent portal]

so

i tried to do a hook for Card:open

and its telling me that self is nil

but i dont use self anywhere

[plush cove]

show your code

[ionic verge]

how would i return a three pair in this?

(making six card hands)

[latent portal]

local jimbos_special_sauce = Card.open
function Card:open()
    local ret = jimbos_special_sauce()
    if self.ability.kind == "jimbo" then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 2,
            blocking = true,
            func = (function()
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = 'before',
                    delay = 4,
                    func = (function()
                        local Jimbo = Card_Character({x = 9.9, y = 2})
                        Jimbo:add_speech_bubble("cherrysmod_shuffle" ..math.random(1, 6), nil, {quip = true})
                        Jimbo:say_stuff(6)
                        return true
                    end)
                }))

            end)
        }))
    end
    return ret
end```

oh thats self literally 4 lines in

fuck

[plush cove]

change

function Card:open()```
to

Card.open = function(self)```

[manic rune]

good evening everyone

[red flower]

that's the same thing

[plush cove]

and then change

jimbos_special_sauce()```
to
```lua
jimbos_special_sauce(self)```

[manic rune]

-# what do you mean by special sauce

[plush cove]

is it actually? i thought it was different because you had to replace the function entirely

[red flower]

Card: is just syntax sugar for passing self

it works the same with hooks

[plush cove]

what did you update your code to

[latent portal]

what you told me to

[plush cove]

show it again

[latent portal]

local jimbos_special_sauce = Card.open
Card.open = function(self)
    local ret = jimbos_special_sauce(self)
    if self.ability.kind == "jimbo" then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 2,
            blocking = true,
            func = (function()
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = 'before',
                    delay = 4,
                    func = (function()
                        local Jimbo = Card_Character({x = 9.9, y = 2})
                        Jimbo:add_speech_bubble("cherrysmod_shuffle" ..math.random(1, 6), nil, {quip = true})
                        Jimbo:say_stuff(6)
                        return true
                    end)
                }))

            end)
        }))
    end
    return ret
end```

oh what

wait

its working but its not doing none of the shit i told it to

[red flower]

i think you're missing return true in one of the events

[latent portal]

no its because self.ability.kind isnt jimbo

for some reason

[plush cove]

in that case, is there any reason to change

Card.open = function(self)```
to

function Card:open()```
besides style choice?

[latent portal]

when i replaced that with 1 == 1 it just froze

[red flower]

i dont think so

[red flower]

that's the return thing i think

[tardy wind]

Anyone’s got good examples of custom consumeables ? Bonus point for custom sets as well

[red flower]

what about .config.center.kind

[turbid maple]

never kill yourself!!!!!

[tardy wind]

nil

[turbid maple]

okay now how do I force ui nodes to be stretched out

[red flower]

minw

[turbid maple]

would i set that to the width of the parent node

[turbid maple]

I have yet to figure out the mysteries of localize

[hard flume]

I really want to find a way to get Cats to give a gradually decreasing amount of chips cuz I had a banger joker idea but it requires cats to function in a specific way. If I can't get it to work, I might just scrap cats all together

[tardy wind]

thats a function ?

[turbid maple]

yes

[tardy wind]

what does it allow to do over loc_text and normal localization

[turbid maple]

localize is the function found in balatros'd deepest guts that actually handles variables and sometimes sets up UI nodes because why not

[latent portal]

also whats the hand zone that the game uses when ur selecting a card from a pack

[red flower]

G.pack_cards

or do you mean like the tarot hand area

[latent portal]

yea

the little spot where the cards show up

and u can select one

[red flower]

i was looking if there was something better
i think desc_from_rows uses filler?

[red flower]

i think it's just G.hand

[sturdy compass]

Nah I thought G.pack_cards was right

[red flower]

that's for the cards in the booster

not the playing cards

[latent portal]

no yeah i want the cards in the booster

[sturdy compass]

This is what's telling me pack_cards

lol

[latent portal]

the part where the planet cards show up when you open them for example

i want that

[red flower]

yeah G.pack_cards lol

[latent portal]

well um

thats not

working

[lucid owl]

i'm trying to make a joker with a very specific sprite size (i didn't do the art), what am i doing wrong? (it should theoretically look square, like how photograph does)

[red flower]

G.pack_cards.cards?

[sturdy compass]

What exactly are you trying to do there?

[latent portal]

im trying to flip the pack cards over

and then shuffle them

[latent portal]

also i did this and now it says pack_cards is a nil field

[sturdy compass]

Whaat's your code

[latent portal]

discord nitro is restricting me.

ill post it in halves

local jimbos_special_sauce = Card.open
Card.open = function(self)
    local ret = jimbos_special_sauce(self)

        }))
    end
end```

[turbid maple]

yippee!!!!

[latent portal]

anything glaringly obviously wrong here?

[sturdy compass]

No not off the top of my head

[latent portal]

okay so

it MIGHT

MIGHT

have something to do with the game trying to process the ipairs statement before the cards actually ENTER G.pack_cards

is there a way to delay this whole bit of code somehow?

[green mica]

Oh the bongcloud opening, that's awesome

[red flower]

make the event trigger after?

[latent portal]

how though

how would i go about doing such a thing

[red flower]

i mean literally changing the "trigger" to "after"

instead of before

[ionic verge]

shit uhhh wrong reply

[ionic verge]

does anyone know?

[latent portal]

oh true

[latent portal]

ok so i did that and then my game froze and then closed

[sturdy compass]

Did you remember to return true in all of your events?

[sullen fern]

so uh, why is a skin mod crashing someone else’s game when it’s not crashing mine

[latent portal]

Yeah

Want me to send my code again just in case?

[sturdy compass]

Yeah since you've made your changes I could take a fresh look

[sullen fern]

this genuinely perplexes me because like

[latent portal]

[sturdy compass]

and what step exactly is it freezing at?

[latent portal]

at the pairs bit

[sturdy compass]

how confusing

I'm assuming you've tried doing this with context.opening_booster before the hook?

[latent portal]

not sure how to get context from a function that doesn't use it

[lucid owl]

i seem to have messed up the ordering a little bit lmao

[latent portal]

are you suggesting i need to hook INTO context.opening_booster??

[lucid owl]

ignore the fact that they're all giving zero money

[sturdy compass]

Oh right this isn't a joker, hm

[latent portal]

hey

what's the full name of context?

SMODS.context or something?

[sturdy compass]

I am realizing I will be very unhelpful with this and I apologize in advance lol

[latent portal]

it's ok im unhelpful with a lot of things

[sturdy compass]

gang

[turbid maple]

somewhat approached what i want

[latent portal]

kills you

[plush cove]

explodes you with mind

[latent portal]

hey @plush cove do you have any idea what the fuck i need to do with this

[turbid maple]

now I'm digging for source of the white description box because I have no need for that if anyone does please let me know digging through UI code vexes me

[latent portal]

welp

im going to bed

whoever can make that bit of code work before tomorrow gets 1 dollar from my paypal /srs

[tall wharf]

how do i even

[latent portal]

youre a magician

a literal coding magician

ive seen what you can do

this has got to be child's play

[tall wharf]

my letters stickers are not being scaled if i use card.T.x = card.T.x * scale

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/bf18676234ec30f4cf91053e443bfffc111536bb/modules/misc.lua#L292

[solar eagle]

how do you draw a joker how legendaries are, with two layers?

[sturdy compass]

Kinda. Two different sprites are needed, the base and the "soul" (the part that floats above the base)

[solar eagle]

yeah i have that

im just not sure how to indicate it in the joker code

[sturdy compass]

use the "soul_pos" attribute. It takes coordinates just like "pos" and uses the same atlas

[solar eagle]

ooh ok

wonder why that isnt on the wiki

thank you!

[sturdy compass]

np

[steady smelt]

is it the same way for consumables? like soul but for planets or tarots too

[sturdy compass]

Yep!

[steady smelt]

and i assume hologram does the same thing

[sturdy compass]

Indeed it does

[steady smelt]

oh i guess undiscovered consumables do that too right?

[sturdy compass]

Also yep

[steady smelt]

speaking of, how would i go about giving specific consumables a different undiscovered sprite?

or would i have to patch that

not a new type of consumable, just like a new tarot that i want to have a different undiscovered sprite

[tall wharf]

@sturdy compass do you have any idea why my shit doesn't scale

[sturdy compass]

I think that's a patch thing

[sturdy compass]

Wdym?

[sturdy compass]

wtfart

[tall wharf]

i want to scale properly

[sturdy compass]

I'm so bad at UI stuff so I have no clue 😭

[tall wharf]

using the T.scale fucks up the juice

which is why I've been avoiding it

[sturdy compass]

NOT THE JUICE

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/bf18676234ec30f4cf91053e443bfffc111536bb/modules/hooks/letter.lua#L49

[steady smelt]

i gotta set up a github sometime

[sturdy compass]

definitely if you're making a mod. Makes hosting releases that much easier

[steady smelt]

yeah i'm still way way prerelease but def gotta sometime

[sturdy compass]

Even for pre-release, it just keeps the code safe in case something catastrophic happens. You just never know

[steady smelt]

true

[tardy wind]

at least use git locally

you can have a remote later

and history is preserved

[chrome widget]

is card name just under card.name? Or is it part of the config?

[steady smelt]

what defines the different ways soul, hologram, legendaries, and undiscovered layers move? they all act differently

[plain apex]

is there an easy way for a joker to check if jokers you have are vanilla?

[sturdy compass]

That I’m unsure of unfortunately

[gilded narwhal]

i hate programming

i love when a steamodded update forces me to rewrite a bunch of shit

sorry

i need help

so i'm trying to make it so that this joker just gives me a discard at the end of every round

like lemme just paste the code

okay or not

so this code is what handles the discards and hands i get at the end of every round

there's this code that adds two to the end of round discards if you didn't discard this round

both of those are in the calculate function for the deck

here's the code for the drunkard that's supposed to just add 1 to the end of round boss discards

but it's really weird

because like

if no discard on boss: 2 discards from not discarding and 1 discard from drunkard = +3 discards, this works

if discard on boss: 1 discard from drunkard = +1 discards, but this doesn't work, it just doesn't do anything

so my theory is that the take_ownership stuff being in the apply function for the deck makes it so it doesn't get added to the calculate stuff properly

sorry for text wall i just needed to vent some frustration

[runic pecan]

I need reword suggestion.

Also, does eternal_compat only affect how they appear in shop, or would it be impossible to apply Eternal on a joker if its eternal_compat is false?

[chrome widget]

Hmm

Learning yet more things about lua

Im assuming that, by default, a Card's children sprites arent ordered (since they're named keys), so the order in which they're drawn is effectively random based on backend stuff

[iron iron]

im trying to make this card convert all fours into an enhanement (like midas mask)

is the code right?

[stray warren]

context.other_card doesn't refer to a card in the scoring hand, because you are in context.cardarea == G.jokers

context.other_card is used with context.individual and context.repetition and you are excluding those above

[iron iron]

ohhhh

[stray warren]

I would try if context.cardarea == G.play and context.before and context.individual and not context.blueprint

[iron iron]

thats why it crashed

[stray warren]

also if you use the code I provided, remove the loop over context.scoring_hand

and change v:set_ability and v:juice_up to context.other_card:set_ability and context.other_card:juice_up

[runic pecan]

bump

[iron iron]

5% score requirement
earn $1 at end of round
payout increases by 1 every 5 rounds
sell this card to create a leveled up version

didnt see score requirement

if i were to be honest this seems a little complex

[faint plank]

been toying a lot with "when score is burning" cards

[scarlet spire]

ooh i've been thinking about making some jokers that do that

though never looked into how to actually detect when you're on fire

[plush cove]

score goes on fire when your current mult * your current chips exceed or match the blind requirement

not counting the score you already have from previous hands

[steady smelt]

can you put custom consumables in the same collection category as, say, tarot cards?

[iron iron]

"if you score more than the blind requirement in one hand" is prob better wording

[steep bronze]

Do you know any practical way to make a new suit?

[rough furnace]

SMODS.Suit

[simple mural]

I have an idea for a hardcore mod of vanilla Balatro.
Each joker loses some of its parameters with each hand played.
Each joker has a chance to be destroyed after a hand is played and it increases with each hand played.
Each played card loses some of its parameters and also always has a chance to be destroyed and it increases with each hand played.

[simple mural]

Try comparing the target joker key and the vanilla key list?

All you need is a vanilla joker key table and the key of what you're going to check.

[plain apex]

so id need to get the id of like all 150 jokers?

[simple mural]

Usually jokers are from mods of format "j_mod_joker", and vanilla ones are of format "j_joker"

[simple mural]

Maybe, they are all in the source code of Balatro

Or someone has already made such a table

[plain apex]

if someone has that please share i do NOT want to look for all 150 ids just to make 1 joker suggestion lmao

[simple mural]

In theory, you can simply check whether your joker matches the format "j_*_joker" and if not, consider it vanilla

And you don't even need a table of 150 jokers

[simple mural]

@plain apex Maybe you need this?

[plain apex]

not exactly sure how to check for that but i'll certainly try something with that

[wintry solar]

you should be able to check if the joker has joker.config.center.mod iirc

[tall wharf]

why does it do this 😭

[prisma loom]

how to "exclude" certain tags from poll_tag ?

[tall wharf]

if anyone knows what the hell is going on please tell me thank you

[halcyon osprey]

Okay so, I dont really know how to work the blueprint parameters at all

first one is for the message to pop under the blueprint when it makes a burger

and the second one is for the burger itself, i want the blueprints to actually score, and say Nom as a message. (the basic blueprint compact stuff does work with things, but for these two cards its a lil buggy. the burger one, the first blueprints scores, and nothing else does and then the burger will say eaten! for the amount of blueprints)

[wintry solar]

dont use calc_effect unless you know what you're doing

[halcyon osprey]

ellaborate?

[tepid crow]

I think Eremel is trying to say that in 99% of usecases, SMODS.calculate_effect doesn't need to be used and returning a table works?

[wintry solar]

there's absolutely no need to use it here, and that's probably why blueprint is being weird

[tepid crow]

also there are assumptions that your joker will return a table on trigger

which might be the thing fucking with blueprint yeah

[wintry solar]

because it doesn't return anything blueprint doesn't think it has done anything

[halcyon osprey]

oh ive been using calc_effect for my message stuff since it seemed more simple from what ive been told 😭

[tepid crow]

in my experience, it's usually the other way around haha

you can just

return {
  message = "Burger",
  colour = G.C.DARK_EDITION
}

[halcyon osprey]

oki lemme see how that goes

but then the burger itself is a lil weird with blueprint

[wintry solar]

you need to add not context.blueprint to any parts you don't want to be replicated

[halcyon osprey]

so like, how would that look? i was the scoring to be on all, but the text Eaten to just be on the burger, and then Nom for the blueprints (because its funny) but like rn the scoring is messed up where it scores only once with a blueprint and nothing elseincluding the joker itself actually scores

[wintry solar]

well you're setting a flag that it's been scored and not allowing it to be scored more than once

your flag is entirely useless here apart from disallowing blueprint behaviours

[tall wharf]

is there not a context.blueprint

[wintry solar]

if you wanted a different message on the blueprints, you could do

if context.after and context.blueprint then
  return { message crap here }
end
if context.after and not context.blueprint then
  return { eaten message crap here}
end```

[tall wharf]

for when you want something to not activate on blueprint you just do not context.blueprint

oh it also happens on seals 😭

wtfff

[zealous glen]

Check the wiki but usually you can pass a table of objects you want

If the issue is Orbital Tag, Paperback has a fix

[foggy carbon]

do you have 1x sprites in your 2x file or something?

[wintry solar]

I think you need to resize the sprites of the internal elements too iirc

[tall wharf]

i think calling set_sprite might just work

was fuckin around with the area and when i press 2 it looks proper

there

[wintry solar]

it might work too if you apply the letters after you've scaled the cards

[tall wharf]

it actually does work

[wintry solar]

nice

you should use the straight card area imo

[foggy carbon]

do you plan to keep the red seals on the cards?

[tall wharf]

straight card area?

like type?

[halcyon osprey]

okay so the message in the middle i want it to display the Number, and it cases a crash.

in the past i had it say +1 +1 +1, but i would prefer it to say 1 2 3

[wintry solar]

yeah, it'll be type = joker iirc

[tall wharf]

ah

[prisma loom]

custom table would not work with modded tags

right?

it's a niche thing but still

[wintry solar]

poll_tag is a vanilla function right?

[halcyon osprey]

also dont mind the double layer of context eor and me, because a return caused issues, but i want the variable number to be listed and its causing crashes 😭

[prisma loom]

I know poll_edition for sure is

[wintry solar]

actually I don't think poll_tag is a thing

[prisma loom]

yeah

[wintry solar]

I don't remember what the function is called

get_next_tag or something like that iirc

[prisma loom]

in vanilla?

[wintry solar]

why would you ask for help using a function that you've created?

I have no idea what these functions do

[tall wharf]

yay

i love null cards

[prisma loom]

No, I'm asking about if there's a way to exclude certain tags to be generated by X effect

And if there's a function for it

There's add_tag

But can I make it exclude certain tags?

Instead of creating a custom table of tags

So, I could maintain mod compat with modded tags

[halcyon osprey]

dunno what to do

i just want the variable number to be listed 😭

[tall wharf]

oh btw how do i lock cards so that they can't move

pinned pins it to the left

and it actually reversed my name 😭

[red flower]

pin them in the opposite order?

[tall wharf]

i mean i could yeah

i guess I'm patching

[steep bronze]

No, i mean, sprites

[frosty dock]

message = ''..card.ability.extra.entitytimer

it needs to be a string

[halcyon osprey]

oooh

[zealous glen]

It works if you use all Tags to create the table

[prisma loom]

But then how do I exclude certain tags from that table?

[zealous glen]

You go over the table and remove them

[prisma loom]

So you imply that I should make a table of all possible tags manually?

[zealous glen]

I mean such a table already exists, but you shouldn’t edit it directly. That’s basically what polling functions do anyways

[raw geyser]

Can you reroll a boss blind during it?

[strong jacinth]

Probably

[strong jacinth]

Anyone?

[wintry solar]

Your tab definition function doesn’t have anything in?

[strong jacinth]

Does it need to have anytihng?

I recall N saying it can be empty

[wintry solar]

I don’t see how you could tell it to load something that doesn’t exist

[strong jacinth]

But its the button thats crashing im pretty sure, but what can i put there just for testing

[halcyon osprey]

i went of the DNA code for this, but what my issue is, is that Its copying only one type of card instead of copying each. like if i play a flush of 5, 4, 3, 2 and A. i would get 5 4's

i tried making a variable to count up but it does it only once (hence the 4, instead of 5)

how would i make it count up for scored cards?

well played cards even

well i just made it able to go from 5 to 4, but then it stays 4 because i moved the +1 lmao

[tall wharf]

💸

[strong jacinth]

Do you have the card area code on gh?

[tall wharf]

yes

do not ask me for support however

[strong jacinth]

y

[tall wharf]

because that is my decision

just

i can help

but i do not guarantee support

[strong jacinth]

Ohh, makes sence

sense*?

[halcyon osprey]

any ideas??

is there like a G variable for general scoring card position or something?

[tall wharf]

couldn't you just copy the context.other_card

[halcyon osprey]

lemme try

[strong jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/code-programming-send-code-please-gif-1233311115095757075

Yo aiko

wait

nvm

[strong jacinth]

nvm nvm

How did you create the cards area

[halcyon osprey]

dna

[tall wharf]

????????

[halcyon osprey]

what im mainly wanting is for it for each individual card to add one to the handplace variable but it seems it only does that once ver full hand

[halcyon osprey]

i think i am really stupid LMAO

[manic rune]

you are my sunshine

[tall wharf]

@manic rune...

[manic rune]

helo

[strong jacinth]

That looks sick

[manic rune]

it looks cool, but is there nothing else going on? :(

[strong jacinth]

Btw how did yoiu craete the card area

Aiko, add the smodsgradient

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar what if I want to use Blueprint effect but keep the original message colour?

[manic rune]

i personally checked #1338302514616995892 for implementing card areas :3

[strong jacinth]

-# What specifically

[tall wharf]

roy

[zealous glen]

In general or in an UI node?

[strong jacinth]

Both, i have an G.UIT.O node

Just wondering how i put a card area

[halcyon osprey]

well i put it back to what it was but then its only doing the handplace + 1 only once

[strong jacinth]

In it*

[runic pecan]

What makes a food joker... a food joker?

[halcyon osprey]

holy shit i got it to work woah!!

and it crashed after the first hand lmao

[zealous glen]

In what sense

[zealous glen]

I don’t remember but aiko’s code is on GitHub

[quartz ravine]

The thrill of development

[strong jacinth]

Im pretty sure the onl thing there is a card_area_preview

[runic pecan]

Asking because I can't decide if "chanpagne tower" could be count as food or not.

[zealous glen]

Does it expire

[tall wharf]

DEVELOPMENT RESUMES TOMORROW

[zealous glen]

Food Jokers expire

Cosmos’ Snowman is a Food Joker

[quartz ravine]

Hey Ocemu, you should add a check like this

if context.other_card and context.other_card:is...

[tall wharf]

YESYEYSEYES

[quartz ravine]

Need to do it in that order too. First be sure that the item you are checking exists before you check it's properties

[quartz ravine]

Niceeee

[runic pecan]

I haven't decide its effect yet.
So it depends on expiry?

[quartz ravine]

aiko yori what though? Reminds me of hana yori dango

[zealous glen]

Like Cola and Popcorn and Luchador and Seltzer

[halcyon osprey]

what does this do?

[runic pecan]

Wait, Luchador is edible??? /jk

[dire palm]

How can I get two different interactive variables in my Joker description?

[rain slate]

are there any guides for setting up a development environment for Balatro mods?

[halcyon osprey]

Okay i got it fully working now :D

[rain slate]

or like a github repo

[halcyon osprey]

just had to move the context.after outside the context.individual

[quartz ravine]

you put in placeholders in your loc_txt and then pass them in using loc_vars, it's that simple! Be sure you don't reference vars that don't exist or the game will crash. There is like zero null-safety in Lua

Or you might say nil null-safety

[dire palm]

I know about return {vars = {center.ability.extra.Xmult}} in loc_vars but what if I need both return {vars = {center.ability.extra.Xmult}} and return {vars = {G.GAME.probabilities.normal}}?

[frosty dock]

it actually isn't that sensitive

it only crashes if you try to use vars without any existing

[quartz ravine]

return { vars = { card.ability.handsTillReady, card.ability.multBounty } }

[quartz ravine]

You can put them in comma separated list

[frosty dock]

i do wish there was some kind of optional chaining built into lua

[quartz ravine]

Another joker finished!

[rain slate]

?

[frosty dock]

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

[rain slate]

alright I'll check this out

[strong jacinth]

-# bump

[tall wharf]

wtf???????

[frosty dock]

as for dev environment, i recommend having your full mods folder open in vs code or similar so that the LSP has access to definitions from steamodded

[frosty dock]

Jolly Joker

[tall wharf]

at least i got the thing working

oh.

(dont mind multiplayer error)

(my uni blocked balala multi)

[rain slate]

oh it's Lua that's interesting

[zealous glen]

Me failing to configure the LSP: 😭

[rain slate]

I thought Balatro would've been made with Unity (just had a feeling) but that makes sense since I've never seen the Unity intro when opening the game

[tall wharf]

😭

not all Unity games have that intro

[rain slate]

true

but many do

[tall wharf]

you can disable it now i believe

[rough basin]

is there any way to access the cards in the tarot area the same way you can access the jokers?

[rain slate]

ohh I didn't actually know that

thought you had to pay

[wintry solar]

Then do it manually and don’t use the helper function

[astral girder]

So I was looking at the texture files, (just recently started modding) wth is the weird looking deck next to plasma?

[strong jacinth]

Any mods that use a simple card area

[latent portal]

day 2 of trying to get this to work. if there are any code magicians in chat, i need your help. its freezing at the for _, v in pairs bit

[rain slate]

have you tried debug printing what v is?

if you've been at it for 2 days, probably

[frosty dock]

G.pack_cards is a CardArea, not a list of cards

you'd want to iterate G.pack_cards.cards

[maiden river]

Erratic?

I felt like Tens weren't getting a lot of love in box, so I decided to think about something...and I love progressive chip growth cards. Then I remembered someone with a connection with 'TEN', Akuma from street fighter

From there it was thinking about how to make it fit an animal theme

[strong jacinth]

Yo aure

hru?

[frosty dock]

I'm doing good, ty

[strong jacinth]

Any new stuff you're working on?

[frosty dock]

blind calculation mostly

[strong jacinth]

Sounds fun (Hopefully)

Btw is card area documented?

[frosty dock]

no, smods doesn't really touch it

[strong jacinth]

Now, what is jolly

[frosty dock]

i'm sure it can be added eventually but it's not a priority to document base game code

[frosty dock]

pairs

[timid star]

how do i detect when a player is currently in a blind?

for a consumable i mean

[strong jacinth]

Do you know any mods that use card area

[red flower]

joyousspring 🙂

[strong jacinth]

That are simple

[red flower]

😦

[strong jacinth]

?

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[strong jacinth]

This scary math stuff...

[frosty dock]

... what's a simple card area

that's just size and positioning

[strong jacinth]

What config does G.UIT.O need

[zealous glen]

Usually things are positioned starting from their top left point. If you want to find the center, you add half their height and width

Not exactly what’s happening here tho

[hardy viper]

{object = --[[some Node object here]]}

[strong jacinth]

Would { object = nodes = {} work?

[hardy viper]

no

a Node is like a card, cardarea, any moveable, etc

[strong jacinth]

How would make it as big as one tarot card?

[dire palm]

So, I know how to add the description of stuff like stone card and such next to my joker description. But how can I add a custom description next to my joker description?

[latent portal]

i tried that and it said G.pack_cards was a nil table

[zealous glen]

Use the size of a card

[frosty dock]

then you're not in a booster pack

it's the area that you select cards from in a booster pack

so there's no need for it to exist when one isn't being opened

[latent portal]

well how do i get it to hook properly then

do i need to hook a context??

[wintry solar]

wha are you trying to do?

[frosty dock]

something something events inside events? 🤔

[latent portal]

im trying to:

• detect when a certain type of pack is opened (done)
• spawn jimbo and have him say a custom quip (done)
• flip over selectable cards and shuffle them (NOT done)

[latent portal]

won't work i think

i tried events inside events

[wintry solar]

show code

[latent portal]

functions inside events

local jimbos_special_sauce = Card.open
Card.open = function(self)
    local ret = jimbos_special_sauce(self)
    if self.config.center.kind == "jimbo" then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'before',
            delay = 0,
            blocking = true,
            func = (function()

                    delay = 5,
                    func = (function()
                        local Jimbo = Card_Character({x = 9.9, y = 2})
                        Jimbo:add_speech_bubble("cherrysmod_shuffle" ..math.random(1, 6), nil, {quip = true})
                        Jimbo:say_stuff(6)
                        return true
                    end)
                }))

                        for _, v in pairs(G.pack_cards.cards) do
                            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ trigger = 'after', delay = 0.5, func = (function()

i had to send it in 2 messages because its too long

[frosty dock]

you can send as file but sure

[latent portal]

oh right thats a thing

[frosty dock]

uhhhhh

[latent portal]

getting freaky

[frosty dock]

maybe having cards debuff everything wasn't a good idea lmao

[latent portal]

aure do you have any idea how to hook calculate.open_booster?

it could work

[zealous glen]

I’ve been thinking of creating an invisible auxiliary Joker to handle debuffing across all of time

Small Blind, Big Blind, Boss Blind, Packs

[frosty dock]

this works with a debuff context that takes advantage of can_calculate

I'm removing the can_calculate checks from functions called in eval_card as it prevents this kind of thing from working properly

[zealous glen]

What is eval_card doing?

can_calculate has an argument to ignore the debuff state

[bleak bone]

joker idea:

starts and stays insanely strong, but has a chance to end the run every time it triggers

[frosty dock]

eval_card calls a bunch of calculation functions and gathers the results

it calls can_calculate itself (conditionally with ignoring debuffs now), but the functions it calls were calling it again

[bleak bone]

recursive calling which would cause the game to lock up

[frosty dock]

which is not needed and just prevents debuffed cards from being calculated when they should, so I'm removing those checks

[zealous glen]

I feel like the individual checks are necessary but the starting one isn’t

[rapid stag]

still looking for help with either this UI issue or my undiscovered custom legendary joker description issue

[zealous glen]

The point is that if a card becomes debuffed or is destroyed mid scoring

It stops being considered afterwards

The boolean value to ignore the debuff state should allow effects that can change it to proc

Unless the card for example has been destroyed

[tall wharf]

😭

[rapid stag]

is there a difference between creating a custom joker via SMODS.Joker**()** and SMODS.Joker**{}**?

[tall wharf]

no?

[rapid stag]

ok, making sure that that wasn't the culprit for my description issue

[zealous glen]

Lua handles foo{…} as foo({…})

[rapid stag]

i see

[frosty dock]

I see, but then shouldn't eval_card should be performing those checks instead of the functions themselves?

the point is I'm passing a flag to ignore debuffs by context, and not all of these functions receive context

[zealous glen]

Two things:

1. At which point of the scoring process are we talking about?
2. It’s possible that can_calculate should receive the context, or at least a table that may or may not include the context

[dire palm]

How do I make a custom tooltip for my Joker?

[zealous glen]

As I said, if there’s a sequence of different effects applying, can_calculate should be used before trying to apply. Outside of Events, I think this should be handled automatically
