:D

[tall wharf]

:>

in any case

[sonic cedar]

completely unrelated note does anyone know how add_to_deck works? trying to setup a freeroll (think chaos)

[tall wharf]

is balatro nn your mod

ah

neural network?

[fickle stag]

yeah

yeps

[tall wharf]

makes sense

does the mod button show up in main menu

[fickle stag]

okay I did a silly

[sonic cedar]

[tall wharf]

😭

what did u do

[fickle stag]

i was tryna be smart

uhh i inserted the lovely dylib into the app bc im lazy to run the script all the time

:

[tall wharf]

😭

youll still have to run the script to patch stuff

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

[fickle stag]

yep yep got it

[tall wharf]

a free roll?

[fickle stag]

i don't know why lovely runs but doesn't load the mods

tragic

[sonic cedar]

free reroll

freeroll

[tall wharf]

huh

so

mods button show up right

[fickle stag]

yeah it's nvm

thanks

:D

[tall wharf]

you'll need mod metadata

i believe

[sonic cedar]

yeah i know that 😭
but it triggers on add_to_deck

[tall wharf]

because from your folder structure there doesn't seem to be one

[fickle stag]

ah okay

i made it print on every a press

it seems to work

[manic rune]

what the fuck

selling Invisible Joker closes my game

💀

like, no crash

no nothing

it just closes my game

[sonic cedar]

game invisible

[tall wharf]

so like

[manic rune]

did it duplicate my game 💔

[tall wharf]

?

[tall wharf]

i mean does that not make sense

[manic rune]

...it uh, triggers when the joker is added to G.jokers

[tall wharf]

you gain 1 free reroll per chaos

[manic rune]

i dunno how to explain more than that

💀

[sonic cedar]

like i have this for the extra key already but
how would i setup the reroll part

[tall wharf]

you G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls = G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls + 1

[sonic cedar]

oh so i just

dont need to change anything

[manic rune]

copy and paste that tntire thing is

yes

[tall wharf]

yea

art upgrade still

[manic rune]

jesus fuck thats cool

-# is she gonna die

[sonic cedar]

the fuck happened to that blueprint

[tall wharf]

i didn't think it was gonna turn out that good ngl

[sonic cedar]

for $3

[manic rune]

i also have this joker which i dunno how to phrase better

:3

it goes from +25 to +50 + 75 and such

[sonic cedar]

my head

[fickle stag]

cool art :o how did you draw it

[tall wharf]

i uh

[sonic cedar]

hour drop

[manic rune]

and yes, i have to specify it as a Follow-up Effect because some jokers will do certain shit when Follow-up Effects are triggered

[tall wharf]

spent an hour on that

[sonic cedar]

how long did it take to set up that atla

s

[tall wharf]

like 1 min

[wintry solar]

Do I see free rerolls?

[manic rune]

free rerolls in this economy is insane...

[tall wharf]

free rerolls

[wintry solar]

You should actually use this utility function

[manic rune]

-# theres an utility function for that???

[sonic cedar]

oh my

[tall wharf]

wtf there's a function for that

[wintry solar]

The way chaos works in vanilla is jank as fuck

[tall wharf]

me when i call god

[manic rune]

oh, thats cool

would it be fun if there was a joker which can duplicate a joker, but also removes the original joker it copied from

allowing for add_to_deck synergies shit

[sonic cedar]

does this work in place of add_to_deck or does this nest?

[manic rune]

you still need it in add_to_deck

[sonic cedar]

thought so

[wintry solar]

Yeah put it inside

[manic rune]

how it works is that if i use SMODS.change_free_rerolls(1) then it gives 1 free reroll right :3

[wintry solar]

Yes

[manic rune]

very nice

[wintry solar]

So in remove from deck you’d need the same with -1

It’ll also handle making the rerolls in your current shop free (and future shops ofc)

[manic rune]

would you suggest using card_eval_status_text or SMODS.calculate_effect to make a message?

[maiden river]

consider: permanent free reroll

[wintry solar]

Calc effect

It’s easier

[manic rune]

-# fuck

yeah good to know, thanks :D

i thought it would be unethical to use SMODS.calculate_effect just for messages for some reason, considering its main functionality is (probably) to allow adding mult/xmult, stuff like that without using return

[wintry solar]

It doesn’t matter though if you’ve used card eval

Nah it’s main function is just to evaluate effects consistently

It has stuff other than scoring in it

[hasty ravine]

Does anyone see a missing symbol here? I don't see anything out of place

[wintry solar]

-# not loads but still some

[hasty ravine]

Ah

[sonic cedar]

miss anything or am i all good?

[manic rune]

😭

[hasty ravine]

Thats what I get for copying my own code

[manic rune]

just add SMODS.change_free_rerolls(1)

[manic rune]

oh, also

[sonic cedar]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (im stupid)

[manic rune]

this should be true, not True

[hasty ravine]

I see

Tyty

[manic rune]

and is "moth" the joker you want to add?

[hasty ravine]

No, I want to create a random joker

[manic rune]

oh i see

[tall wharf]

no clue what this is

[manic rune]

-# i dont know much about create_card :3

[manic rune]

are the words random everytime you check the poker hand

[hasty ravine]

Im pretty sure the last bit is for the seed for generating a random card

[tall wharf]

no i set it

i still dont know what that means

[manic rune]

oh

[sonic cedar]

less foolish

[manic rune]

that seems right

whats the "new_key" for tho

[sonic cedar]

eavesdropping

[sonic cedar]

transformation

[manic rune]

wuh

[maiden river]

does anyone know what I need to put in the localization for the little labels here

[tall wharf]

i just realised this is a counter to the fish if you have the cards

[wintry solar]

Why isn’t it just in the ability table to begin with?

[sonic cedar]

why did it

[sonic cedar]

in the who

[manic rune]

[tall wharf]

wait sticker

holy shit

[manic rune]

ohhh i see

[sonic cedar]

probably because i dont have one

[scarlet spire]

is there a boss blind trigger for post-scoring but while the cards are still in the played hand? or do I have to patch that in myself

I want to change the suit of played cards, but doing that on press_play changes them too early and recalculates your hand

[maiden river]

isn't that final_scoring_step

[scarlet spire]

unfortunately boss blinds dont use calculate contexts

[maiden river]

oh I see

[scarlet spire]

I kinda wish they did, I had to patch just so a boss blind could detect the player discarding

[sonic cedar]

that's evil actually

[manic rune]

aikoyori taking note rn

[scarlet spire]

its even more evil when it does THIS

[manic rune]

was it a bad idea to make my thread too early

[maiden river]

bumping this
I checked the docs for SMODS.ConsumableType and it's not there either 😭

[manic rune]

i thought it would be a good idea to post my progress there every once in a while

[maiden river]

I'm being scammed in real time

[manic rune]

but i think i was better off making one when its close to release or something

[tall wharf]

📔 📝

[manic rune]

thats cool, i wont lie

[maiden river]

I mean, that's what I did with mine

and it's been working out okat

*okay

[scarlet spire]

I got the animation to look really nice, yeah

[sonic cedar]

[scarlet spire]

I used it for the blind that demotes all played cards by 1 rank as well

[maiden river]

now that's evil

do 2s wrap around to Aces?

[scarlet spire]

yep

[maiden river]

oh okay

[manic rune]

how long did it take for you to release your mod since then though

[maiden river]

uh

I've been releasing alphas/betas for a while now

ever since it was just a concept and the mod still had 90% placeholder assets 😭

[manic rune]

mhm, but i want to know how long did it take for you to release your mod for everyone to try, since i feel like i can cause some people to be too impatient :(

[maiden river]

uh
I think it was near-immediate? at least, within the same week

[manic rune]

god damn it

its been a month for me 😭

[tall wharf]

i think aure is working on it

@scarlet spire

[fickle stag]

how fast do yall code?

[manic rune]

1 month and about 7k lines in total

[tall wharf]

very slow\

[manic rune]

^ same

[maiden river]

but I don't see an issue with just having a mod thread that's just concepts
if you release something, even if it's really rough, it's fine in my opinion too
at least you get feedback

[tall wharf]

I'm a slow ass coder sorry

[maiden river]

I code pretty quickly, in my opinion
I just have to know what I'm doing

[tall wharf]

wtf you followed me on twitter

[tall wharf]

@fickle stag 😭

[sonic cedar]

i keep my progress in my name to motivate myself
[mr krabs "day 15" image]

[fickle stag]

wait i didn;t even know

:D

hahahaha

[manic rune]

dmn

[young dew]

does someone know how i can patch other mods with lovely? i've done it with smods but not with other mods

[tall wharf]

perhaps you followed me for this

[fickle stag]

OH

wtf you made that

[tall wharf]

sure did

[fickle stag]

banger

[manic rune]

i always try to post progress on #1338562637453066240 every 3 day or so, so that people know im still working on my mod ❤️

[tall wharf]

ur goated for that fr

[tall wharf]

ill add a few more things to this logo i think

[tall wharf]

[fickle stag]

how'd u make it :o

[maiden river]

hacking

[sonic cedar]

good god ive only skipped four days of development go me??

[tall wharf]

Affinity Designer

[hushed field]

at which point do you plan on releasing a playable alpha/beta, bepis?

[manic rune]

probably when i finished adding all the jokers and 1/2 of the relics

[tall wharf]

definitely a legit copy

[manic rune]

dont want to keep everyone waiting for too long

[manic rune]

and besides, i need playtesters to properly balance out my mod anyways

[hushed field]

damn, I wish I had your sense of patience. I was just like 'eh I guess people can play this at some point', and release a version with a bunch of broken mechanics every few days

[manic rune]

im NOT trying out every team combination and relics

[fickle stag]

is modding very popular

[sonic cedar]

good question

[maiden river]

same
I'm mostly bug-free right now

[hushed field]

making them or playing with them?

[manic rune]

well im certainly becoming a bit impatient myself lol, but i dont want to rush my mod and release bad stuff

[fickle stag]

both

[sonic cedar]

everyone only plays basegame ever im afraid

[hushed field]

I've got some features turned off by default because they're too buggy and risky 🥲

[manic rune]

if people have been waiting for my mod for a while then they deserve something quality

[sullen fern]

smh, they should be playing the siivagunner balatro mod.

[sonic cedar]

the what.

[sullen fern]

the REAL siivagunner arg balatro mod

[hushed field]

big enough that I think people that are deep into the balatro hole are into it, but not super huge or relevant in the scope of balatro as a hole, I reckon

[tall wharf]

i am doing it for the fun of it

[hushed field]

And there's a scale difference between Cryptid and every other mod as well

[fickle stag]

i've only ever heard of cryptid

[sullen fern]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/RE:SPH

[fickle stag]

yeah it does sound fun :p

[sonic cedar]

saving this for later.....

[tall wharf]

but like drawing takes a while

[hushed field]

look around the channels here and on the wiki and see what's out there! There's a lot of weird stuff. Best mod out there rn is probably Balatro Goes Kino though, of course of course

[fickle stag]

ur really good at pixel art

gotta learn

[manic rune]

i will have to learn drawing for my own mod in the future

[tall wharf]

coding also t akes a while

[fickle stag]

thats so cute

[tall wharf]

oh uh

i put scrabble in balatro

[manic rune]

like, i definitely mess around with paint every once in a while :3

[hushed field]

Bepis, are you posting anywhere about your mod outside of this discord? I feel like if you show off your functional systems and jokers, you'll easily have another gacha-head willing to collab on some art

[sullen fern]

you gotta do a puzzle but that’s really easy

[tall wharf]

here is my mspaint drawing

[manic rune]

nop

not now, at least

[sonic cedar]

what did i do

[fickle stag]

brooo i gotta learn art

sucks to suck

[manic rune]

i will definitely uhh plug my mod everywhere when i got the playtest release tho :3

[sullen fern]

basically

[tall wharf]

it's ok i don't know jackshit about neural network

[fickle stag]

same

[manic rune]

-# what the fuck is neural network

[tall wharf]

(i study comsci)

[fickle stag]

same

[hushed field]

neeeeerds

[fickle stag]

i like drawing

but im ass

tragic

[tall wharf]

it's ok

the more you draw the less ass it is

kasane teto from memory

[hushed field]

pixel art is fun, and while being amazing is a huge skill, I always feel like people can get to decent-enough results/programmer art levels quite quickly, as well

[weak brook]

alright im having a lot of trouble with this cardsauce joker
are there any coding wizards in here who are down to help or give advice on this

[hushed field]

Ask the question, and we'll see if someone can help 😛

[weak brook]

yeah i just wanted to get that out of the way first cause its a bit complicated to explain

[sullen fern]

off to work on making suit rarity a thing i go.

[manic rune]

we dont know what kinda trouble you have 💔

[weak brook]

i know i know i shouldnt ask before specifying

[fickle stag]

nah i just like to be good

[sonic cedar]

you SPOILED IT

[weak brook]

gonna take me a sec

[fickle stag]

💀

[hushed field]

hahah god i feel that

[sullen fern]

the arg’s been over for months

[manic rune]

instead of rubber ducks, i got two fumos to vent my frustration to

:3

[hushed field]

every time I try to draw a person I scream and wished I could have retroactively practiced because I'm not gonna now, and I just want the ability

[fickle stag]

real

[tall wharf]

[tall wharf]

😭 this mf again

[sonic cedar]

get him OUTTA here

[sullen fern]

https://tenor.com/view/picmix-sig-lemres-puyo-puyo-puyo-puyo-tetris-gif-7799713661992503956

[manic rune]

i will definitely buy another one when i save enough money :3

[weak brook]

so the concept here is a joker that each round takes on the ability of a random of joker in the pool. it's sprite does not change, but its calculation code and description do. at the end of the round it changes back to a base form with a misprint-like cycling description, which i've already coded.

problem is that i can't seem to find a good way to reliably implement this. i tried a method that involved making an invisible cardarea, which was promising but for one that wouldnt work for copying cards like blueprint and it wasnt really working in general. the main thing here is i'm struggling to find a reliable way to reference calculation, loc_vars, and other stuff without summoning an actual card on the screen

[maiden river]

I'm plagued by the ERROR badge
I may be cooked guys

[tall wharf]

@sonic cedar will you try the space oddity challenge

[weak brook]

how would you guys approach this concept?

[manic rune]

isnt that just uhhh context.blueprint and stuff

but it chooses a card in the collection instead?

[scarlet spire]

oh wait, boss blinds can't even destroy cards because there's no such thing as a destroy context to them, can they

[tall wharf]

my brain gravitates towards creating fake card area and run the calculate function inside the main calculate function

but i think you tried that

[weak brook]

i'd say thats simplifying it a bit but more or less that is the idea. problem is that all blueprint-type jokers reference existing cards on the screen, whereas this is trying to reference cards that are not. plus, if the card it's taking the ability of is a blueprint-type that uses positioning, i need to make sure it's using the bootleg joker's position. this is a reason why the invisible cardarea idea wasnt working out cause if it copied a blueprint in some other cardarea it would just do nothing

[hushed field]

I'm not sure how I'd go about this, but I think Ortalab has a chameleon joker that does something similar to this, that you maybe could look at. Or does that only copy other existing jokers?

[weak brook]

since its not in G.jokers

[red flower]

what about actually changing the card into the card it's copying but replacing the sprite and description

[tall wharf]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[karmic creek]

pew pew

[maiden river]

go mods go

[weak brook]

chameleon joker was close but its not quite what im doing. its just a blueprint joker that randomly chooses a joker in possession

[hushed field]

eggsploded instantly

[tall wharf]

you're faster this time

[grand violet]

No, they got vonnegutted

[karmic creek]

so it goes

[hushed field]

sent straight back in time, huh

[stiff locust]

how do I make a random number seed-friendly again

[tall wharf]

and the war between egg and vonnegut begins

[red flower]

pseudorandom()

[stiff locust]

explain further

[manic rune]

pseudorandom("seed",min,max)

if you dont declare min and max then it will return a number from 0 to 1

[stiff locust]

thank you

[maiden river]

the mods vs. steamncommunity

[manic rune]

if you want it to be a whole number, use math.floor or smt

[hushed field]

Aaah okay. My personal approach would be to see if I could create an invisible joker, or like N suggested a copy of the cloned joker that's showing a fake sprite and art, and store the 'real' joker in that fake card area you're after

[tall wharf]

begin the war

[stiff locust]

it's not a whole number??

god dammit

[manic rune]

yeah

-# pretty sure

[weak brook]

im thinking a way to make this work might involve some adaptation of ortalab's transforming code, which is something i've referenced before, where it changes a card directly into a different joker. thing is that it would have to have some method of changing back at the end of the round, keeping track of which joker was the bootleg joker

[sonic cedar]

sure give me a sec

[manic rune]

you should use math.floor(pseudorandom("seed",min,max)) if you want it to return a whole number

[red flower]

i woudn't even do that, I would just make a global function that transforms the copied card back every round (or whenever it needs to change)

[hushed field]

that wouldn't be too difficult to do at all, I'd say

[stiff locust]

i thought you had to add more stuff to math.floor to make it round

[manic rune]

nope

[stiff locust]

oh

okay

[manic rune]

it works just as it is

[weak brook]

maybe patching into the end of round effects thing to activate that? the function that randomizes the suits on cards like the idol? that could work

[red flower]

that's what I would do

well, I hook into SMODS.calculate_context

[manic rune]

you know what, balatro: star rail playtest begins on wednesday next week

[hushed field]

I think you could potentially even have it track which one is the right one by using some sticker logic, and just use a sticker without a sprite

[weak brook]

or just a boolean, i think that would stay consistent if stored in the right spot on the card

maybe'

idk id have to look at the transform function i put together again and see what changes exactly

[manic rune]

i need to remember removing this shit when i release the mod :3

[hushed field]

honestly, mostly what a sticker is, just that a sticker has an easy and supported way to set and unset it that could have logic for the sprite and description take over

[sullen fern]

how do you exclude a suit from appearing in every deck

[hushed field]

though a bool and some internal logic is also fully function, I reckon. Sticker's probably me being biased towards liking to hijack sticker functionality to become whatever I want

[weak brook]

it sets the center, sprite, ability and cost, so there should be some spots on card that wouldnt be affected by that. alternatively I could also maybe use a custom shader/edition

[hushed field]

stickers are entirely unaffected 😛

[maiden river]

where is john smods when I need them 😔

[hushed field]

in the smods mines mining more undocumented features

[maiden river]

😭

localization is rough

I only need one more thing but I can't figure it out for the life of me

[hushed field]

what are you trynna do?

[maiden river]

the badge text up here

[hushed field]

custom consumeable?

[maiden river]

yeah

[hushed field]

are you using a localization file? or is everything stored in every object?

[maiden river]

I'm moving everything to a localization file

[sullen fern]

how do i make these specific suits not appear in the main decks

[maiden river]

that's what I'm trying to figure out here
because in the loc_txt it's just label

[hushed field]

I think it's just 'k_[SET_key]'

That's how I have it for confections, at least

[maiden river]

😒
if it is I'm mad

[hushed field]

k_[key] is basically the way to localize anything you're unsure about, I've learned

[tall wharf]

chat

need opinion

[maiden river]

the localization wiki update is going to go nutty

[tall wharf]

I'm going to be adding

Impostor card modifier

should the player know of it's existence

[manic rune]

-# what the fuck

[tall wharf]

initially

[manic rune]

what do you mean "Reach the limit of free projects"???

😭

[maiden river]

you get 3 now, if I'm not mistaken

it sucks

[maiden river]

that was it

I'm officially mad

[tall wharf]

wtf is online Lua IDE

[manic rune]

i only have one.

[manic rune]

im running my automaticColoring function shit on there

[maiden river]

replit

[manic rune]

so that i can ctrl C + ctrl V the localized string and paste it into my localization

else it would be a headache to manually do this

❤️

[tall wharf]

you have to

[manic rune]

guess im moving this to another compiler, fuck

[sullen fern]

:)

[manic rune]

im very tempted to try and create a program of my own now

[tall wharf]

oh yeah

[turbid maple]

I drew a Joker before as a joke but I have had zero use cases for it does anyone want the art for free

[tall wharf]

i love hibana

[maiden river]

I mean, you could really just install lua
since I'm assuming you own a computer, since you're modding balala

[maiden river]

yeah

[manic rune]

i deadass already have the code

and everything

but NO place to run it

💔

[maiden river]

lua's mainly run from the command line

[manic rune]

i see

[sullen fern]

what if i just remove the in_pool section for the specific suits

[turbid maple]

why di you keep sobbing

[tall wharf]

@turbid maple yet again am i qualified to be a guest artist

UWOHHHH

i have a hoshino fumo

but that shi looks so bad i dont even want to show it

[turbid maple]

this goes hard

[red flower]

i have a shigure ui plushie

[sullen fern]

nope, they still appear in the main deck.

[manic rune]

neat

[hushed field]

That art is so rad, Aiko. Did you do that with a shader?

[tall wharf]

nope

[manic rune]

i have a furina plushie which costed me $25

i intended to give it to my gf

[tall wharf]

FURINA

[manic rune]

but we broke up because of my friend's involvement

sooooo

[tall wharf]

plain old art

[manic rune]

its just sitting on my table now

pretty painful memories

[hushed field]

Oooh, that's smort

[tall wharf]

I CAN'T GET OVER NERD JIMBO

[maiden river]

I am glad everything's in the localization file tho, since someone wants to translate my mod to chinese

[tall wharf]

the loc file in question:

[maiden river]

oh!

[sullen fern]

i know it's possible but i have no idea how

[maiden river]

well, doesn't that aspect of your mod only work in english anyway

[tall wharf]

i mean

in thai we call it ตัวเอ ตัวบี ตัวซี things like that

[turbid maple]

can you make letter cards but in chinese thank you

[maiden river]

I see

[primal robin]

Use generation? Nah, copy-paste line 26 times much better!

[tall wharf]

true!

i should actually put the list in the beginning of the file before the return

[hushed field]

That's so cool that someone wants to go through that effort!

[manic rune]

i was lazy so moved to yet another online compiler :3

[tall wharf]

i am lazy rn

[tall wharf]

i was gonna do Japanese one

[hushed field]

I just like the organization of a localization file honestly, haha

[maiden river]

yeah I know
I was so surprised when they approached me 😭

[maiden river]

this is also true
but it should be better documented tbh

[manic rune]

...oh yeah, i forgot to localize those messages

:3

[tall wharf]

Kuru Kuru!~

[maiden river]

yeah you don't really know how much you need to localize until you start doing it

[primal robin]

Localization leads to problem "fit unfittable in already small space"

[manic rune]

fucking

-# with

with

[hushed field]

I'd recommend starting with a loc file immediately if you're making a mod that adds more than like 5 jokers, haha, but I see why people don't

[manic rune]

actually, considering a majority of hsr players is from china

[primal robin]

[red flower]

I wish we could split loc files

[manic rune]

...i think i should get into the localize stuff immediately 💔

[red flower]

mine are too long already

[manic rune]

i made my mod when i first started modding as a practice project

[manic rune]

i followed the video tutorial

it didnt say anything about localization

💔

[sullen fern]

i'm like
talking about removing specific suits from every deck

[maiden river]

I made this mistake
this was after I added a total of 64 cards

[tall wharf]

btw

[primal robin]

Settings localization

[shadow rapids]

is there a way to unlock a card based on something about the current deck

[tall wharf]

😭

i am NOT localizing this card thing

[manic rune]

do it

or no balls

:3

[hushed field]

Game dev attempts have thought me that localization is something you want to concern yourself with ASAP if you're planning on doing anything above day-long game jam scale haha

[tall wharf]

❌

[manic rune]

damn.

[primal robin]

Btw localization for Handy not planned
There's no way I make settings page look good enough with even migger text

And imagine adding localization without steamodded

[shadow rapids]

is it possible to unlock a joker based on some parameters of the current deck (specifically having at least a number of some rank) and if so, can you tell me how

[manic rune]

...i just realized sometimes my CODE produces strings with {}{} at the end

luckily it doesnt seem to affect anything

so ig i can ignore it ❤️

[tall wharf]

BEPIS WEBSITE

[manic rune]

-# no.

[maiden river]

-# denied

[manic rune]

i did have an idea of making a website purely for making joker descriptions

LIKE

it renders how the description will look like

with a bunch of qol stuff to speed up the process of making them

but i then realized i would need to learn new languages to achieve that

:3

[primal robin]

[tall wharf]

anyone watches this show

[primal robin]

I'm planning to make this stuff in Cryptid's future site

[shadow rapids]

wrong challen

[red flower]

me

[tall wharf]

is the new season out

have i been missing out

https://youtu.be/D6vlxIwNHOo

[sullen fern]

still having no luck excluding suits from appearing

[tall wharf]

ah

[red flower]

i havent watched it yet, i literally sub to dropout for it and then cancel lol

[tall wharf]

😭

[hushed field]

Only thing that keeps me sane

[shadow rapids]

i think i see

allow_suits is being copied into in_pool

is allow_suits a function

[manic rune]

:3

silly collection

didnt that happen to JoyousSpring too

[sullen fern]

i dont know
all i did was copy suit code from six suits and modify it to my liking

[red flower]

i feel like anyone who looks at this would be very confused by the extra things i add

[manic rune]

i feel like thats an issue generate_ui collectively suffers from

[green mica]

Unless it dropped like today or yesterday I don't think it's out yet

[paper zealot]

Psst

[manic rune]

-# is that what i think it is

[shadow rapids]

sorry but how do i use check_for_unlock

[manic rune]

oh shit

thats REALLY cool

how do i get that running :3
-# never used python in my life before

[sullen fern]

wait, i see. (snippet from six suits main lua)

[paper zealot]

It's also useless for Discord because Discord won't display user-submitted svg files

[sullen fern]

so allow_suits is just kinda a vestigial thing since there IS no function in my mod called allow_suits

[paper zealot]

Install python 3, then do py .\balatro_text_to_svg.py -h to see arguments

[sullen fern]

okay, now what

there is currently nothing in in_pool

[shadow rapids]

you need to set it to a function determining whether it should be in the pool

[sullen fern]

so i just create a function like common_suits and have in_pool use that

[shadow rapids]

yeah

make it return true if you want the suit to be accessible

[shadow rapids]

i

id add an explicit return false at the end

also sorry for being so incessant but how do i use check_for_unlock? i couldn't see very well how it works from the code

[sullen fern]

wait what

wouldn't that make return true moot then

also i don't know what you mean by end

like, the end of the local function? after the second end?

[paper zealot]

>py .\balatro_text_to_svg.py -s "{s:0.7,C:mult}+5{}{s:0.7} Mult{}"
>Exporting to +5_Mult.svg

[shadow rapids]

after the first

[shadow rapids]

no its just good practice

[sullen fern]

like this?

[manic rune]

and how would i render this? sorry for probably asking a lot of dumb questions :(

im assuming you dont run it in a command prompt

[paper zealot]

I attached the exported .svg file, you can view it in a browser

[sullen fern]

i have no idea what the return false is doing but

[manic rune]

yin and yang, automaticColoring and toNormalString

:3

[sullen fern]

l3

[manic rune]

l2d2

[sullen fern]

do i do the opposite if i want a suit to NOT appear in the deck then

[manic rune]

oh i see, thats fucking sick

[sullen fern]

just have it be return false instead of return true

[paper zealot]

> py .\balatro_text_to_svg.py -s "{E:1,C:spectral}Bepis{E:2,C:gold}Fever{}"
> Exporting to BepisFever.svg

[manic rune]

:3 aw

[paper zealot]

I might add animated colour support to it one day, i know how to make it work in the SVG, just burned out when I realised how pointless it was

[hard flume]

Hihi yall. I'm really excited cuz today I'm going to get the two core features of my mod figured out via lovely patching

[wintry solar]

What’re the features? 👀

[hard flume]

Custom Modifiers + "Worlds"

[shadow rapids]

is it possible to get a list of loaded hands

[manic rune]

oh also

https://www.mycompiler.io/view/JU45KrUiYk0

[sullen fern]

holy shit. that actually worked?

[manic rune]

heres the automaticColoring code if you want to check it out

:3

[wintry solar]

I should maybe get round to making my custom modifiers api

[hard flume]

Worlds are like. Custom Areas. You can only obtain certain Jokers and cards within certain worlds.

They're meant for endless mode play

[manic rune]

this is more like a proof of concept honestly lol

i doubt anyone will use this

[hard flume]

Oh cool, I might wait for that then tbh

[shadow rapids]

how do you get a list of all loaded hand types

[paper zealot]

It's really nifty. Would be great for double-checking and spotting errors in large joker packs

[tall wharf]

what does it do actually

[sullen fern]

does debug+ allow for spawning boosters

[red flower]

yes

[scarlet spire]

only in shop menu, they appear in the booster slot

[red flower]

^ same way as jokers

[sullen fern]

well when in try to clone one it says "Trying to dup card without an area"

[hard flume]

Hihi!!!

[red flower]

yeah only in the shop

[sullen fern]

i AM in the shop

[red flower]

weird then

[scarlet spire]

you can't ctrl-C them, just spawn them in through the collection menu

[sullen fern]

that also doesn't work

[scarlet spire]

what are you doing to spawn them?

[hard flume]

Make sure you empty all the booster slots

[red flower]

thats not necessary

[scarlet spire]

no you can have as many as you want, there's no slot limit

[hard flume]

Oh

[sullen fern]

ctrl-c

i'm trying to ctrl-c them

[scarlet spire]

I just said you can't ctrl-c them, press 3 while hovering them in the collection menu and they'll go to their appropriate spot if one exists

[sullen fern]

ohhh wait

i see

[manic rune]

im very inclined to use rn

[sullen fern]

pleas dont that'll hurt my feelings

[scarlet spire]

I do wish there was behavior for auto-opening or auto-redeeming a booster or voucher without having to spawn it in

[manic rune]

:3

[tall wharf]

[sullen fern]

none of my modded suits appear in boosters though

[tall wharf]

i still need feedback on the impostor

@manic rune Impostor

[manic rune]

huh?

[sullen fern]

moons and stars can appear in the boosters but not my puyo suits

[manic rune]

-# are they fucking kissing

[tall wharf]

are they kissing

is this mario y

[verbal wyvern]

I think theyre kissing

[manic rune]

is that wario and luigi kissing

[sullen fern]

that mario actually

[manic rune]

that looks more like wario than mario

im gonna silently judge you for choosing that art.

[hard flume]

Why are they kissing.

[sullen fern]

well, its my texture pack so.....

whatever.

[manic rune]

what impostor 😭

you cant just leave me hanging like that

[sullen fern]

i've opened a lot of mega standard packs, and not a single puyo in sight

[tall wharf]

cards can become impostor and they change suit and rank every round

[sullen fern]

this is um..... not cool

[manic rune]

yeah i think thats pretty fun

imagine a deck full of Impostor cards :3

[hard flume]

If you added code for them to appear in booster packs, remove that. They do that by default

[sullen fern]

well, back to the grind.

[manic rune]

im so fucking hungry and my eyes immediately landed on that plate (or bowl?) of chips

[sullen fern]

i have no such code

[manic rune]

😭

[hard flume]

Huh...

Do I add custom Modifier functionality first or do I add World functionality first?

[hard flume]

That's weird then

[hard flume]

I think I'll add custom modifier functionality first

[sullen fern]

so like, what now

do i have to manually add code that allows them to appear in boosters?

[hard flume]

I think so, unfortunately.

[sullen fern]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1310143577292148736/1340933852344094801/attachment.gif

back to the grind i guess

[hard flume]

I believe having them not appear in the deck caused them not to appear in the boosters

[manic rune]

is that a man carrying a big red ball

[sullen fern]

but before i go

[sullen fern]

this applies to suits that do appear in the deck too

[hard flume]

Huh weird

[sullen fern]

it's not just the ones that don't

[shadow rapids]

question: is it at all possible to get a list of all of the hand types currently active and loaded?

[red flower]

i think that's SMODS.PokerHands

unless you mean something different

[shadow rapids]

yeah thanks

[hushed field]

Is there a way to increase the spawn rate of certain jokers, without creating a pool for those jokers to be tied to?

[sullen fern]

is there like, an arg that includes boosters

argggg... we be sailin

yo ho ho!!!

blow the man down!!!

[red flower]

idk how suits and stuff work but args.source == "sta" should be the standard pack for in_pool i think

[sullen fern]

now my common puyo cards don't appear in the deck

[red flower]

source instead of soruce and the first if should be (args.initial_deck or args.source == "sta")

[red flower]

should probably check if args exists still

[sullen fern]

so if args and

[red flower]

yeah

[sullen fern]

still not appearing

[red flower]

sad

[sullen fern]

well that was worthless

[primal robin]

Is this description clear enough?

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/9it4jv

i underestimated relics.

[sullen fern]

someone more knowlegable is gonna come in like "uh actually you should've done the wacky scoopy banoopy function thing in order to make your suits appear in booster packs"

[primal robin]

My settings page so big omg, basically out of screen space

[manic rune]

add pages to your settings page

so simple

[primal robin]

Already 5

[sullen fern]

why does it not work.
i don't understand why it doesn't do what i intended it to do

[manic rune]

❤️

[quartz ravine]

I feel like this is too strong, I would welcome ideas for tuning this custom edition

[manic rune]

is that a ygo rarity reference

i have a ghost rare dark magician card :3

[quartz ravine]

you know it. I am working on a shader to color shift input cards into ghost rare as well! Right now, I have it do a smokey white + gold

[sullen fern]

please, i just want to impliment satan and marle already,

[primal robin]

Well time to make some space

[manic rune]

im sorry jeff, as much as i REALLY want to help you, i havent touched suits before 💔

[manic rune]

i mean, if that tarot card is somewhat rare then its fine?

[weak brook]

figured out a way! this code is jank as fuck, it uses centers to get a random joker's calculation functions and whatnot. had to manually copy over loc_vars for vanilla object but for modded ones it just plugs into the loc_vars function and shit. it works great so far

[quartz ravine]

it's a tarot card. I think I will drop it's payout down to $1 or $2 though

[weak brook]

https://i.imgur.com/ByJf5hZ.gif

[manic rune]

you are losing a lot of scoring benefits compared to X2 Mult from Glass Cards

[manic rune]

if its as rare as a normal tarot card then i think that will definitely work

[quartz ravine]

Wow that NES card looks amazing

[weak brook]

gappie is very good at art :)

[manic rune]

of course its gappie, they are always involved in good modded art 😭

[verbal wyvern]

Is there a way to do an Eaten/Extinct check?

Im trying to make a Joker that has a chance to prevent an Extinction or something from happening

[quartz ravine]

In the game? Yes. You use 'joker_spawn_condition' or something like that to control whether it can or cannot appear. That does not work when you are using debug commands to special summon a jonkler

[verbal wyvern]

Thats for making something like Cavendish appear after Michel goes extinct though right?

[red flower]

Use in_pool for that

[verbal wyvern]

I want my card to detect when something like Michel goes extinct at the end of the round, and either spawn a new one in place or just prevent it from going extinct

[quartz ravine]

Ah, here it is

no_pool_flag = 'fickledfoxfled',

the opposite is yes_pool_flag

[sullen fern]

zamn 💔

[manic rune]

terribly sorry :(

[red flower]

you will probably need to take ownership of gros michel for that or check G.GAME.pool_flags.gros_michel_extinct for the easy version

[quartz ravine]

ask me your suit question, I have done this

[quartz ravine]

my ghost rare shader in action

[sullen fern]

how do i make them appear in boosters

[verbal wyvern]

Is there a pool for the foods too or will I have to take ownership of those?

[manic rune]

what is that resolution :3

[red flower]

i dont think there is one by default

[hushed field]

I think Gross Michel is the exception because it adds a flag to the pool, but other food jokers would need to be done with ownership for sure

[sullen fern]

because this is the code i have right now and they're still not appearing in standard packs

[verbal wyvern]

Ty guys

[manic rune]

...oh, its not adding the money?

[verbal wyvern]

I’ll probably just take ownership of Gros Michel too then

[sullen fern]

this is because i want specific "rare" suits to appear only in boosters

[wintry solar]

it would make adding custom modifiers easy peasy

[sullen fern]

is there anything wroing with this code? please help

[tall wharf]

as in deck modifiers?

[sullen fern]

this has been a massive pain in the ass for me

[tall wharf]

eremel sweep????

[wintry solar]

as in things like enhancements, editions ,seals etc.

[tall wharf]

pls give example brain hurt

[wintry solar]

well it's not done yet xD

but it'd be like how you can define new consumable types

[unkempt thicket]

Custom modifiers :]

[sullen fern]

i realized i should've responded to you with all this

[hard flume]

Let me know when it's done. I'd love to use it

[plain apex]

can an enhancement have retriggers? trying to make this enhancement idea

[unkempt thicket]

Will there be options for what they can apply to (jokers, cards, decks, consumables)?

[mint cape]

Hey does anyone know how to setup Steamodded [>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1424a] for Multiplayer Balatro?

[tall wharf]

you update to the latest version

being annoying

[keen anvil]

hey all

[plain apex]

hi

[keen anvil]

do any of yall know how to make a simple mod that edits the stats of a joker? i want the basic +4 mult joker to be x12 mult and appear way more often?

[keen anvil]

hey

[sullen fern]

i’m… suffering.

[keen anvil]

dang

[sullen fern]

thats just what happens when you choose to mod balatro

[plain apex]

seems like that would be really op but you'd have to figure out how to like take ownership of it? not sure i haven't done take_ownership stuff

[sullen fern]

you get literlally nowhere trying to make custom suits appear in booster packs

[keen anvil]

that gives me alot of hope xD

[keen anvil]

dang, if you know how to get me started atleast that would be great. just with a simple lua or sm

[plain apex]

i mean you're free to look at the terrible code of my mod ive made a bunch of shit but i haven't done any take ownership stuff

[tall wharf]

😭

[keen anvil]

ill check it out!

[keen anvil]

😭

[tall wharf]

why would you not just make a new one

[plain apex]

yeah that would probably be easier tbh

[keen anvil]

oh yeah yall right xD

im completely new to this though\

do yall know any resources to get me started?

[plain apex]

[keen anvil]

thanks!!

[gleaming zealot]

Ladies

[plain apex]

but all of these enhancement ideas are retrigger so uh anyone know how to retrigger enhancement?

[lost fern]

is there a reason why my edition is triggering +5 +10 +5 +10 chips?

(It should add chips and then increase its chips by 5 permanently, not the permavalue because this applies to jokers too)

[sullen fern]

trying to see if anyone elss knows why my suits don't actually appear in standard packs

i know not a lot of people know about suits

but its worth a shot

[minor magnet]

why does the post joker activate before the joker_main

what

no ok it activates after

but

the cards graphically are created before

[sullen fern]

the problem is that i don't even know if what i'm doing is correct

[chrome widget]

Ngl I kinda miss the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul stings 😔

[sonic cedar]

how do you debug yourself in a joker while it's hidden from the collection?

[sonic cedar]

make it a config

for the funny

[chrome widget]

Honestly yeah, I probably will

[sonic cedar]

[chrome widget]

I would just set it to be unlocked for the time being while you're debugging it

[sonic cedar]

well yeah thats what im doing now

yk what yeah if it aint broke dont fix it

[supple fractal]

may I ask for assistance

I have a card which runs a 1/6 chance to divide the blind's required score by 6 if the hand is exclusively a six, and if it triggers then it will destroy the six

however the way it is currently strutured means that it destroys the six instantly, before it plays the scoring animation

how do I make it so that it triggers after everything finishes scoring

        local destroyed_cards = {}

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if #context.full_hand == 1 and context.full_hand[1]:get_id() == 6 then
                if pseudorandom("roulette") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    for i = #context.scoring_hand, 1, -1 do

here is my code

[latent portal]

Question: I want to make a Joker which changes the price of all items to 0 when you enter the shop (like the Coupon Tag). Which context should I use?

[sullen fern]

three more suits.

[latent portal]

there is no such thing as too much puyo

[hard flume]

I'm still trying to figure out how to make the worlds feature work

[red flower]

what's that

[latent portal]

hey N

is there a context for entering the shop

[red flower]

context.starting_shop

not documented i think

[crimson marlin]

does anyone know how to modify/change blinds to be a different blind type

[latent portal]

it's not

[sullen fern]

even still. this damn code.

why does it not do the thing i want it to do

[hard flume]

Worlds are run modifiers that give access to Jokers, Consumables, Blinds and other features as long as you are "in" that World.

I'm not sure if I need to patch for that to work, but I'm willing to do whatever I need to to make it work

[red flower]

I would just make a new joker-like object that represents the world

it's like the easiest thing

[hard flume]

.... why didn't I think of that lmao

[red flower]

You will probably need to take ownership of things if you want to take them out of the pool while you're in certain worlds

[hard flume]

Yeah I know that much

Thanks though!

I would've overcomplicated it if you hadn't helped.

Is there a way to put it in its own card area, though?

I should probably get it working first, actually, then work on putting it in it's own area.

[sullen fern]

you know its bad when i start venting in the comments

[red flower]

yes, I do that for field spells in my mod

[sullen fern]

i'm getting desperate at this point

[glad osprey]

how do i merge the new and old rank things

[eternal galleon]

Is there a reliable database or other source of information on all jokers, blinds, tags, etc. and how they've changed in newer versions?

I wrote a Discord bot for Balatro a while back. At the time I manually scraped all the 1.0.0 jokers from the wiki. The information in the bot is now quite outdated, and I'd like to add support for more than just jokers. It would be great if there was a database I could use rather than trying to pull everything off the wiki again.

[sullen fern]

STILL!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK

[tardy wind]

the game itself

[formal parrot]

Hey chat

[sullen fern]

is it return false that's causing the issue?

[tardy wind]

whats the issue

[sullen fern]

the issue is that my suits dont appear in boosters

[tardy wind]

the vanilla boosters ?

or custom ones

[eternal galleon]

True, I could modify the lua source to log the data. Was hoping someone had already dumped the data, but if not I can do that.

[sullen fern]

in the vanilla standard pakcs

six suits allows their custom suits in boosters

[tardy wind]

well the data is in the source already

[tardy wind]

I would check their code then

Nothing wrong with that

[formal parrot]

I have a 2 week vacation 😭😭

Yessssss

Starting tomorrow 12 am

[sullen fern]

i just don't understand

[tardy wind]

are you coding with notepad or something

[sullen fern]

no i have vscode

you've seen me post screencaps of vscode before

[tardy wind]

i probably have

my memory is failing me

i mean the function itself here allow_suit is fine

[sullen fern]

sharing the code snipped again

[tardy wind]

allow_suits is also not a pre-existing vanilla function so its gotta be called somewehere

where are those functions supposed to be called ?

[sullen fern]

in_pool

common suit example

[latent portal]

Who is this...?

[sullen fern]

rare suit example

the common suits are intended to be in the base deck

[tardy wind]

what is args.source ?

[red flower]

when don't you want it to appear?

[minor magnet]

i have an issue.

[sullen fern]

all i'm trying to do is have them appear in standard packs

that's literally it

[minor magnet]

how do i have them display as discovered even tho they are not

[tardy wind]

if args and args.initial_deck return false looks wrong to me...

[latent portal]

put discovered = true in the joker's attributes

[red flower]

then return true at the end

[minor magnet]

i don't want them to start unlocked tho

[latent portal]

ok

then uhh

idk

[minor magnet]

they just have to display correctly

[latent portal]

N'? any ideas?

[red flower]

huh? me?

[latent portal]

yea

ur smart

[red flower]

what's the question

[sullen fern]

then why did nif say to add return false at the end

[tardy wind]

custom attribute

with custom code

[red flower]

idk lol

[red flower]

you can remove the args.source thing

[hard flume]

How would I go about having jokers change music and background?

[red flower]

i was wrong on that

[sullen fern]

@/fakenifping you.

[crimson marlin]

does anyone know how to modify/change blinds to be a different blind type

[tardy wind]

local function common_suits(self args)
  if args and args.initial deck then
    return true
  end
  return false
end

local function rare_suits(self, args)
  if args.initial_deck then
    return false
  end
  return true
end

im not sure what args.source is

[sullen fern]

i don't want the rare suits to appear in the deck

[red flower]

i dont think this does what they want

[tardy wind]

what about now ?

if initial deck false otherwise true

[red flower]

common suits should appear in boosters too right?

[sullen fern]

yes

which is what my code does

[tardy wind]

the common_suits function can just be a return true

rare_suits looks fine...

[red flower]

local function common_suits(self, args) -- you can get rid of this function too i guess
  return true
end

local function rare_suits(self, args)
  return not args.initial_deck
end

[sullen fern]

oh my god. it works now

[red flower]

a bit cleaner

[tardy wind]

gg !

you'll get there, programming is easy

[sullen fern]

rare suits also appear in boosters

[tardy wind]

nice !

[tardy wind]

these are playing cards?

[sullen fern]

yeah? they're custom suits

[tardy wind]

https://tenor.com/view/of-course-gif-21373815

[sullen fern]

i don't get what you're trying to say here

[tardy wind]

That im dumb LMAO

[sullen fern]

well call me dumb as well

[tardy wind]

Design question, whats better

• A consumable adds an effect in a queue that is triggered before any other effects are applied. A custom card area is used to display them
• A consumable adds a (negative for no space, cant be sold) joker which gets their effect triggered before other jokers

first one kinda requires more work but i dont want the joker cardarea to become convoluted a lot

[zealous glen]

The first one

You check out Ortalab

I think they do something similar already

[tardy wind]

looks deprecated but I’ll try to check it out

[lost fern]

I have this context on an edition. For whatever reason it triggers three times, once per context I believe. I want the edition to trigger just whenever the card is triggered, like you would expect foil to. How do I fix this?

[hard flume]

I know it's possible, I just don't know how to do it

[tardy wind]

whats the calculate_effect call for ? I dont think it will get triggared since the function returns

I believe it gets triggered three times because calculate is called a lot of times

[lost fern]

Im just confused about SMODS.calculate_effect in general. I looked through the wiki and the search bar for this channel Idk

[tardy wind]

like, an obcene amount of times

so it probably gets triggered once for pre_joker and twice with your () condition

[lucid owl]

resurrecting this - anyone know how to make a joker a custom size when using another atlas?

[tardy wind]

with px = 71,
py = 95, in atlas def

[lost fern]

ok sooooo, how do I display a message for +chips, because Im using calculate_effect because Idk how to otherwise (cant figure out message)

[hard flume]

Calculate_effect is mainly used for calculating during scenarios that don't normally have a calculate function

[lucid owl]

if you look at the screenshots in the original message, i have an atlas that's 76x76, but it isn't displaying my 76x76 sprite correctly

[lost fern]

Ok I might be stupid but my understanding is that calculate calls whenever constantly, and context defines when the calculate function actually runs?

[hard flume]

Yes

[lost fern]

huh ok

[tardy wind]

in the return, have message("text")

[lost fern]

But I have mine set to run during when a card plays or when a joker activates?

[tardy wind]

(i belive)

message = "text"

[hard flume]

No wait I misunderstood

[lost fern]

yeh but thats just normal orange message, Im trying to use the +chips one

[hard flume]

So. SMODS.calculate_effect and the calculate function are two separate things

SMODS.calculate_effect is used during consumables or playing cards to give them calculation abilities, whereas the calculate function is used in cards that support it to do as you said.

[quartz ravine]

oh wow you are right, somehow it i spopping up the money but not adding it
