[hard flume]

Is my understanding

[quartz ravine]

this is because i want specific "rare"

[lost fern]

I saw people saying SMODS.calculate_effect is just an easier way to add chips and stuff without having to specify a message etc tho?

So how do I send a chip style message?

[tardy wind]

i actually didnt understand how/where SMODS.calculate_effect has to be defined

[lost fern]

as opposed to "UPGRADE!" and mult

[zealous glen]

For a Joker during scoring, just return {chips = …}

[lost fern]

yeh but that doesnt give the little square with the +chips message

Im trying to do that too

[zealous glen]

It does tho

[lost fern]

And its an edition so it applies to both jokers and cards

[lost fern]

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

so this should work?

[tardy wind]

minus a few syntax errors, yes

[lost fern]

ignore the commas I fixed them :p

[versed swan]

quick question, what's the difference between self and card in joker calculation again?

[tardy wind]

also the first chips =

[tardy wind]

self is usually the parent, card is the actual card object being played

[versed swan]

thank you

[tardy wind]

i wouldnt use self unless you know what u doing

card is usually enough

(plus context)

[lost fern]

annoyingly the popup only displays the bonus properly when in hand, not in deck

[hard flume]

Yeah, add a comment between the first card.edition.extra.more_chips and the first chips =

[quartz ravine]

What is wrong with this thing, something looks weird to me

[hard flume]

Does anyone know how to change the music and background when you have a certain Joker?

[tardy wind]

wym by change music ? play a different soundtrack entirely ?

[hard flume]

Yeah. I've seen it done before

[tardy wind]

add_to_deck function in joker def, and code to play music

[quartz ravine]

Look at jimball in Cryptid, that's just what you want to do . But be warned that playing music and sound effects requirs you to always use your mod prefix key

[lost fern]

IT WORKING thx :)
-# not the display in the deck screen but thats fine for now

[lost fern]

wdym (I think I removed a line you meant)

[hard flume]

No I meant. Add a coma

[tardy wind]

actually ortalabs aint got something like that, but i'll probably go with the second option for now because its simpler to implement.. and I can reuse atlases and all that

[zealous glen]

Ortalab has the Zodiacs

[smoky talon]

how would i apply an effect to the screen, like making it go black?

[zealous glen]

That take effect the next hand you play

of a poker hand type

[crimson marlin]

does ANYONE know how to modify blinds

[smoky talon]

im trying to make a joker that makes the screen go black for 15 seconds and plays a blackout sound

[lost fern]

ah ok

[zealous glen]

You might need to mess with shaders to do that unless love2d provides an easier way

[zealous glen]

but you can always make a new CardArea for Jokers and add it to the calculation process. That's what I did for my Zodiacs (no relation to Ortalab Zodiacs)

[lost fern]

also while Im here, is there another way of storing variables or smthng? The playing card's edition's bonus chips dont display in the deck view (should have "currently 5")

[smoky talon]

i was trying to find the root that makes the ui but its not any of these

[zealous glen]

I'd try to find where the CRT effect is applied

that's like the layer you want to work on

[tardy wind]

Yeah that would work too, thats kinda what i did (extra table, append cards there and lovely patch to calculate in evaluate_play) but i was more worried about the UI feedback cause I really suck at UI so jokers were simpler for that

[quartz ravine]

I have seen shaders applyto cards or to the shop but no idea how you would take control of the whole screen. Maybe if you learned how to add new ux and then wrote that ux with a z-index of zero

[zealous glen]

there's the CRT shader always applying on top of everything, so either infiltrating it or acting on top of it

[zealous glen]

For now I have the CardArea tucked just slightly onscreen with plans to figure out the UI later

but again

if they're one time effects

Ortalab has their Zodiacs

which are like Tags AFAIK

[rapid stag]

how do you add new tabs to your mod's config menu

is it really possible to just go SMODS.current_mod.[tab_name]_tab = function() return { n = G.UIT.ROOT } end

[red flower]

SMODS.current_mod.extra_tabs https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions

[rapid stag]

ahhh

[tardy wind]

Is it fine if i check out your mod ?

[solar eagle]

can you lovely patch another mod - e.g. an smods util function?

[tardy wind]

yes

[solar eagle]

can't figure out what to tell lovely for the filepath

[quartz ravine]

hi guys, somehow my Resetting text is appearing Under a scroed card, and not under the joker itself. I have fixed this before but I forgot how I fixed it.

[zealous glen]

Yes but this part is hidden from the release version

[red flower]

target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'

[tardy wind]

oop

[zealous glen]

if you want to activate it, there's a few comments in the main file and one comment in a lovely patch

[tardy wind]

Alright perfect I’ll check that out

[formal parrot]

Hey

I’m asking how can i make the joker description dynamically change every round

Like all of it

[zealous glen]

put all of it into main_end

[tardy wind]

just have the description be a variable

[formal parrot]

A string of?

Can it be a string tho

[tardy wind]

just a string

Essentially

loc_vars

[formal parrot]

Hmmm i’ll tru that

[tardy wind]

you have 1 variable

[zealous glen]

Yes but then you can't add color effects

and you can change the number of lines

AFAIK

[formal parrot]

Got it

[zealous glen]

main_end gives you more control

[formal parrot]

How do i use it tho

[zealous glen]

you create the nodes manually

[solar eagle]

does not seem to be working with

[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'```
or
```[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'```

[zealous glen]

Examples:

[formal parrot]

Alr got it

Thanks

[zealous glen]

I can show the code too if you want

[formal parrot]

Ofc

I’d love to

i was shy to ask

[zealous glen]

so in loc_vars you return main_end = foo(card) where foo computes the nodes dynamically and has access to the card itself as an argument

[formal parrot]

The code pwease

I have 2 beaincells

[sullen fern]

all i really need to do is impliment the custom hands

[zealous glen]

Here's a short example

local _generate_main_end = function(card)
    if not misc.is_in_your_collection(card) then
        local add_node = function(nodes, text, colour)
            nodes[#nodes + 1] = {
                n = G.UIT.T,
                config = {
                    text = text,
                    colour = colour,
                    scale = 0.3
                }
            }
        end

        local nodes_ = {}

        add_node(nodes_, '(Currently ', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)
        add_node(nodes_, tostring(card.ability.extra.blinds_defeated), G.C.FILTER)
        add_node(nodes_, '/', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)
        add_node(nodes_, tostring(card.ability.extra.blinds_to_defeat), G.C.FILTER)
        add_node(nodes_, ')', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)

        --sendDebugMessage(tprint(nodes_))

        return {{
            n = G.UIT.C,
            config = {
                align = "bm",
                padding = 0.02
            },
            nodes = {{
                n = G.UIT.R,
                config = {
                    align = "cm"
                },
                nodes = nodes_
            }}
        }}
    end
end

[formal parrot]

I’m a visual learner

[sullen fern]

and these two

satan and marle

satan buffs common suits while marle buffs rare suits

maybe extra chips per suit

[formal parrot]

Thanks i think i got it

[zealous glen]

keep in mind each line of text is a row

here I only use one row

[formal parrot]

Yup got it

[sullen fern]

what do you think they should do though

they effect every suit of a specific rarity

[zealous glen]

what are rare suits

[sullen fern]

i devised a system in order to balance out my mod a bit

there's 6 common suits which always appear in your deck

and there's 6 rare ones that only appear in standard packs

[zealous glen]

here's how the end result looks like (normal description above, main_end below)

[zealous glen]

but do they do anything by themselves

[sullen fern]

not really

i wanted to avoid cluttering the deck

by having 12 whole new suits in the deck by default

anyways, current joker lineup

oh my god, nasu grave is there

sadly i don't have any bomb puyo cards yet 💔

[crimson marlin]

How do you change blind types 🙏 im trying to modify small/big blinds to be boss blinds

[tardy wind]

i think you gotta use lovely patches for that

[zealous glen]

Someone had shared with me patches to do that

I believe these were it

[glad osprey]

how would i force the game to draw 2 cards

when a certain card is played

[zealous glen]

either with an Event or patches

[glad osprey]

the humble misprint:

[limber blaze]

no misprint compat its immutable

other cards in this mod do have compat though

[tardy wind]

@zealous glen you were right, ortalabs has literally what I need

[glad osprey]

...no the og misprint

[limber blaze]

idk what that means then

[glad osprey]

you can use it to see the top card of the deck

[hard flume]

Oh hi. I know you :)
kinda

[tardy wind]

mtg aah joker

[limber blaze]

not a joker

[tardy wind]

not a joker ?

broken

oh its consumable

[limber blaze]

yes

[tardy wind]

not that broken

very nice

[limber blaze]

hello

i think it would actually be more broken if it was a joker since this is only for one blind

[zealous glen]

Another Homestuck mod hit Balatro

[modern kindle]

jokes on you, it was always homestuck

[zealous glen]

I don’t think this kind of effect is broken

I’m not sure it’s even good

[limber blaze]

i dont think its broken but comparitively having it always happen is more powerful than for one blind

[zealous glen]

It does make the game harder to play a bit

[hard flume]

I finished Women for Balatro, now I'm adding Worlds.

[limber blaze]

i think this is unintended

[zealous glen]

You heard it no more Women for Balatro. Carrot finished them

[zealous glen]

Cute

I did think of an Atomic Edition but it sounded too silly to me

Maybe that is your calling

[limber blaze]

they arent meant to be this small i just cant read

[hard flume]

hehe silly :3

[zealous glen]

They are now. I don’t make the rules

[manic rune]

that definitely conflicts with a lot of custom card areas

💔

[limber blaze]

not real because i cant do anything wrong

[zealous glen]

That’s not their issue

[sullen fern]

i think i know why it crashed

[zealous glen]

It’s inevitable this will happen

[crimson marlin]

tysm

[limber blaze]

theres not really a solution to this anyway other than moving it but putting it anywhere reasonable is probably gonna conflict with something

[sullen fern]

apparently args is a nil value?

[zealous glen]

People have suggested a CardArea API to handle this kind of screen space conflict

[sullen fern]

its teling me to check line 13

[manic rune]

yeah but if it conflicts with widely used mods like betmna mods then you will also get less players to try out your mod

[glad osprey]

I still need help :>

[zealous glen]

That’s equally Betmma’s fault

They don’t get to own that screen space just because their mod came first

[limber blaze]

i cant really do anything about this other than not have this effect cause where else am i really meant to put it i am not going to change everything just because another mod thought to put something there first

[zealous glen]

Other mods have the same effect, and they have other solutions

[sullen fern]

i dont know why its throwing this

[zealous glen]

The oldest one I can recall displays the cards shrunk on top of the deck

Three of them

[sullen fern]

i'm attempting to use sigil

[zealous glen]

Horizontally

[hard flume]

Still really happy with these cards.

[zealous glen]

I think in Jokers you can just put the cards in the tooltip

[sullen fern]

i try to use sigil and the game crashes because args is a nil value apparently

[scarlet spire]

how can I change the score required to beat a blind, while the blind is active?

[zealous glen]

Either as text or as cards

[limber blaze]

i would probably just do that if it was a joker sadly it is not

[manic rune]

id personally go with the approach of showing the first card exactly on top of the deck, and if you hover on it then the other card pops out
-# like a flip phone, think of it that way

but this is your mod, so you do you

[zealous glen]

High Card mod had a new menu tab

In the deck menu

To see the whole deck

In order

[zealous glen]

Check my mod

[sullen fern]

full crash log if it's useful

[limber blaze]

idk the deck menu is the only other place id move it but me personally id never use this effect if i had to go to the deck menu every time

[manic rune]

its just a little nitpick about mod conflicts, you really shouldn't be troubled around that too much

[hard flume]

Idk where to put world cards tbh

[zealous glen]

Solution: detect if Betmma is installed and uninstall it

[limber blaze]

i dont play with it so its not a real mod

[red flower]

Joker idea: If Talisman is installed, turns all numbers into tables

[scarlet spire]

where can I find it?

[hard flume]

Do I put them in the top right near the Joker spot or something?

[sullen fern]

can anyone help?
please?

args if they were a nil value

[sonic cedar]

about to leave but does anyone know how legendary jokers render?

[solar eagle]

like the multilayer?

[sonic cedar]

yeag

[solar eagle]

they have two attributes

pos = { x = 0, y = 0},

is the background

soul_pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
for example

is the thing that renders above

[sonic cedar]

oh is it

that easy

[solar eagle]

yeah

and

[charred halo]

I have a joker that creates a copy of itself every time a boss blind is beaten, but it always just copies itself infintely. Is there some stupid obvious oversight im missing

[solar eagle]

they render multilayer

[sullen fern]

so why exactly is it saying that args is nil?

[zealous glen]

How does it copy itself

[sonic cedar]

is this a "use ... instead of args" moment or no (i'm too new)

[zealous glen]

@acoustic kiln

[zealous glen]

Beloved DreamWorks film Jrek

[sullen fern]

so how the crash happens...

is that i try to use sigil

and then

args a nil value

[charred halo]

lua

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "before",
                delay = 0.0,
                func = function()
                    local new_card = create_card('powercreep', G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'j_pow_powercreep') 
                    new_card:set_edition({ negative = true }, true)
                    new_card:add_to_deck()
                    G.jokers:emplace(new_card)
                end
            }))
        end```

[zealous glen]

Use ```

Now put lua at the beginning and a line skip

[solar eagle]

show the full calculate function

[zealous glen]

```lua

```

[charred halo]

oh lol

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                card = card,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
        if G.GAME.blind.boss and G.GAME.chips / G.GAME.blind.chips >= 1.50 then -- Combined condition

            }))
        end
    end,

[sullen fern]

why?

why the fuck does it not work with sigil?

[zealous glen]

missing a condition for the second check

it triggers on every context

[zealous glen]

idk try printing stuff until you find out

[sullen fern]

i keep looking at this and i'm like "how would this cause a crash when sigil is used"

[primal robin]

Damn, this descriptions feels bad

[charred halo]

holy shit ur the goat thanks

[sullen fern]

is args the problem here?

because the crash message specifically points out args

[zealous glen]

you'll have more success trying to print it and going back the chain of function calls until you find the issue

[sullen fern]

printing it?

what do you mean by that

[zealous glen]

the easiest way is probably via sendDebugMessage

[charred halo]

add debug prints after problem child lines to see where the code fails

[tardy wind]

printing is the best debug process

fuck unit tests

or whatever they call it today

test driven development

[sullen fern]

[SMODS puyomod "suits/suits.lua"]:13: attempt to index local 'args' (a nil value)

[sullen fern]

doesn't really help?

[zealous glen]

i mean if it's crashing the game you need to print before

and if you don't understand what's being printed, again, go back the function call chain

[sullen fern]

i mean, doesn't the crash log tell me what line is causing the problem?

[zealous glen]

not necessarily

It can crash at that line, but the source of the issue can come earlier

[sullen fern]

well before it was telling me to check line 13

is it because args is like

not doing anything

[zealous glen]

If args is nil, then the issue is either that you shouldn't expect it to not be not nil, or that something is misassigning it nil

on the latter case, the issue isn't with that line, but earlier

on the former case, the issue is with that line, because you coded something incorrectly

[sullen fern]

i don't see any earlier place where something would go wrong

[zealous glen]

make sure you understand why rare_suits is called, what arguments are passed to it, and what those arguments can be

[sullen fern]

this ONLY HAPPENS WHEWN IN UYYSE SIUGIL

[sullen fern]

it's being applied to in_pool

as I said

hell yeah

[sullen fern]

\

it prints args directly before the return function

still don't get how this is meant to help me

at all\

[sullen fern]

like yeah, that's what's being printed

an absurd amount of times

it's never that easy, is it.

it should just work. i should have code, and it should just work with EVERYTHING

but nooooooooooo, apparently args is a nil value

dude. fuck

i'm getting a bit...

fuckkkk

am i getting lightheaded???

why??????

this shouldn't be making me THIS mad

[modern kindle]

i would recommend stepping away for a bit if its actively infuriating you to the point of lightheadedness

[sullen fern]

i would really like at least some guidance after this

[sullen fern]

i yield.

balatro is playing me like a fiddle.

[scarlet spire]

I know loc_vars in blinds is limited, but what's incorrect here? the #1# in the desc always displays as 'nil', even though the blind logic itself works and confirms the value being passed does exist

i'm also tired so I might be missing the obvious

[faint plank]

hear me out

[rapid stag]

@wintry solar is it possible for me to replace JUST the soul graphic in malverk without supplying a replacement for the base card itself?

like, say

  key = '[myPrefix]_Soul',
  set = 'Spectral',
  path = [myAssetPath],
  [...etc]
  soul_keys = {
    'c_soul'
  },
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Soul'
  }
})

or would that not work/is not supported

[formal parrot]

How do yall come up with these ideas

[rapid stag]

for me it's equal parts sadism, insanity, whimsy, curiosity and sorrow

[faint plank]

i just have an idea and pray someone else didnt already do it

[smoky talon]

how do i play custom sound effects?

[wintry solar]

I don't think that would work

[hard flume]

Hihi :)

Does anyone have a guide for making UI on hand?

[sullen fern]

i think i have sufficently cleared my mind

for now at least

now back to the grind

[ivory coral]

hey lads
im trying to hook into Card:apply_to_run to add a new voucher but for some reason this is returning the error card.lua:260: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value) when i buy the voucher
im not sure whats going wrong with it since center is clearly the paramater of the function is it not

function Card:apply_to_run(center)
    local center_table = {
        name = center and center.name or self and self.ability.name,
        extra = center and center.config.extra or self and self.ability.extra
    }
    if center_table.name == 'Booster Feast' then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
        change_booster_shop_size(1)
        return true end }))
    end
    return _apply_to_run(center)
end```

[sullen fern]

now, why on earth would args be nil?

sounds like a load of hoopla to me

this is the current code btw

[rapid stag]

how do i replace the soul card then, because in base, the card is split across two different assets; the shared tarots/planets/spectrals graphic and the decks/enhancers graphic - do i have to do something like

  key = '[myPrefix]_Soul',
  set = 'Spectral',
  path = [myAssetPath],
  keys = {
    'c_soul'
  },
  soul_keys = {
    'c_soul'
  },
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Soul Card'
  }
})```
and the asset has the base graphic and soul graphic in sequence? like this

[smoky talon]

the code keeps looking for the sound in resources/sounds, but i didnt tell it to do that and all my other music is in assets/sounds

[wintry solar]

that'll work fine

[scarlet spire]

still stuck on this

[hard flume]

My main issue with UI is that I don't know how to put cards in there.

[sullen fern]

what it's doing is making it so that cards in the pool common_suits appear everywhere, while cards in the pool rare_suits do not appear in the deck, but everywhere else

and this specific code has a problem when trying to use sigil

[smoky talon]

still dont understand the issue

[sullen fern]

when i use sigil.

uh, it crashes

apparently because args is nil

which shouldn't be the case becaus i have no idea why args is being treated as nil

[scarlet spire]

this looks like you're just printing 'args' as a string, which is of course just going to say 'args' instead of whatever the value actually is

[sullen fern]

my mistake

can you really blame me though

i don't know how to print values

so like

how do i print args as a value

since none of yall actually told me how

you guys should've TOLD ME

then all of this would have been prevented

[scarlet spire]

it should just be args, without quotes

[sullen fern]

wait that's unrelated

accidentally put a `

in one of the earlier lines

[sullen fern]

sorry i'm like
really fucking tired of this shit

well great

[solar eagle]

how would i go about replacing the main menu png? that says "BAL TRO"

i dont want to just have people swap the file inplace if possible

[scarlet spire]

i've never used sendDebugMessage before, only print() which requires the console to be enabled

do you have debug mode/console enabled? i.e. do you see the console in-game

[sullen fern]

not this?

[scarlet spire]

nope, that's the lovely console

[sullen fern]

well it still prints there

[scarlet spire]

if you do print()?

[sullen fern]

yeah

im using print now

[scarlet spire]

alright then do print(args)

[potent topaz]

idk if this is the right chat but i cant get lovley to start it keeps crashing

[sullen fern]

that's exactly what i did

during the intro animation it was printing all this

[quartz ravine]

oh yeah, finally getting a bit of a glitter effec for my secret rare cards!

[hard flume]

How do I go about making my UI a card area?

I'm trying to get world cards to only show up there

[edgy reef]

Can't you just do a nil check for args?

[sullen fern]

how would i do that

[edgy reef]

if args and args.whatev then

[sullen fern]

or is that wrong

[red flower]

return not args or not args.initial_deck

[sullen fern]

that fixed it!

[red flower]

replace G.SPLASH_LOGO, I imagine

[sullen fern]

but now, all of the rare suits are in the deck again

which i don't want

i'm going in circles man...

the sigil problem is fixed but the rare suits are in the main deck again

[red flower]

thats weird..

can i see the code again

[potent topaz]

Can someone help me with the lovely mod it keeps crashing as i start it (sorry if this the wrong chat)

[red flower]

oh thats not what i wrote

there should be anothernot

[sullen fern]

ohhhh

i see

[red flower]

post crash log

[potent topaz]

alr

[sullen fern]

there we go

[potent topaz]

1 sec

[sullen fern]

it just works.

[red flower]

yay

[sullen fern]

it JUST works.

[sullen fern]

now, i need to deal with you two.

satan and marle.

satan buffs common cards while marle buffs rare cards

ignore that i said cards

i meant to say suits

[potent topaz]

@red flower someone else looked at it and we figured it out

[sullen fern]

and these jokers too but that's for later

[ivory coral]

hello chat
ive made this patch to try and change Game:update_shop(dt) so that instead of only making 2 booster packs in the shop it makes G.GAME.shop.osquo_ext_booster_max of them instead, but with this it still only makes 2 packs
ive tried using eval to check the variables and G.GAME.shop.osquo_ext_booster_max - #G.shop_booster.cards is equal to 1 so it should still make another pack when i set it to 3 but it doesnt for some reason, am i missing something?

[patches.pattern]
target = 'game.lua'
match_indent = true
position = 'at'
pattern = '''
                                    else
                                        for i = 1, 2 do
'''
payload = '''
                                    else
                                        for i = 1, G.GAME.shop.osquo_ext_booster_max - #G.shop_booster.cards do
'''```
the code im targeting is in `game.lua` in the aforementioned `Game:update_shop(dt)` around the part that does booster packs if you need to look there

[red flower]

yeah i know lol

[potent topaz]

k

[red flower]

so are you just trying to make more boosters?

[ivory coral]

trying to make more booster packs generate in the shop with a global variable that i can change

[solar eagle]

what exactly does to_big do?

[red flower]

if it's just more rather than less, the way that I do it in my mod is this if it helps

[sullen fern]

they exist but don't have unique effects yet

[red flower]

casts a number into a big number from Talisman (which is a table with an exponent and a mantissa)

[solar eagle]

i see

how would i extract the parts of it?

[ivory coral]

oooh so i can just do a add_booster_to_shop when the shop opens?
interesting
where do i put this exactly though and how would i use it

[solar eagle]

or, wait

[sullen fern]

so yeah.

[solar eagle]

i'd just want to

to_number

[red flower]

you can put it anywhere in the code, the only problem if that pseudorandom_element doesn't take into account the weights so you would have to find how the shop generates boosters for that

[hard flume]

hell fucking yeah. now all i need to do is figure out how to get world cards within it

[manic rune]

how do i change a card's suit?

[sullen fern]

actually i'm thinking of changing the effect

[red flower]

SMODS.change_base

[manic rune]

lovely, thanks

[red flower]

no, it's a steamodded feature not lovely

https://tenor.com/view/anime-kubo-san-nuse-hehe-gif-27394280

[manic rune]

:(

sad...

[red flower]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-pout-pout-anime-pouting-my-dress-up-darling-gif-7117836254488094139

[hard flume]

This didn't take as much effort as I thought tbh

[ivory coral]

hmmm i see
this could also work for when redeeming a voucher right
since thats how im using this

[red flower]

yeah, I use it for a tag too

[sullen fern]

i'd also need to make a tooltip for common puyo and rare puyo cards

they'll just tell you what puyos are rare and common

making a tooltip is easy, right?

[hard flume]

How would I go about having World Cards appear in their special area? Just so I know for the morning

[red flower]

yeah

[ivory coral]

one more thing though I'm not sure what "JoyousSpring" is representing here, is that the mod name or the joker/voucher/tag whatever

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card({key = "world_key", area = G.your_area}) or something like that

[red flower]

thats the mod's global table yeah

[sullen fern]

is this localization related

or can i just bake it into the card

[hard flume]

Oh cool!!! Can I use object tags for it?

[red flower]

just realized i forgot the most important part of the screenshot lol

[ivory coral]

oooh is this a hook

[red flower]

yeah you would need to add it to the localization and then do it like this

[red flower]

yeah

[red flower]

wdym

[sullen fern]

how do i format the tooltip

[hard flume]

I have a custom object type that all World Cards are automatically added into. Can I use that instead of each individual card key?

[red flower]

oh yeah you put that in set instead of key

[sullen fern]

i want it to be like "puyo_RedPuyos, puyo_GreenPuyos"

like each suit is shown

[ivory coral]

also i'm not familair with this calculate_context thing how do i actually use this
in a voucher specifically but also generally

[sullen fern]

with the color and everything

[red flower]

calculate_context is what SMODS calls first to then call all the other calculate functions

but now that you said you're doing a voucher you can just put this part inside the voucher's calculate

except the joyousspring thing obviously

[red flower]

yeah they work just like joker descriptions

[manic rune]

:3

[sullen fern]

so like
do i just put in the key of the suit

in the description

[red flower]

i dont really undestand what exactly you want to do

[sullen fern]

like how the suit shows on a suit joker

[red flower]

will the tiles show up on her sprite

[sullen fern]

instead of typing out the name of every suit individually

[red flower]

i think you need to type it

[ivory coral]

aaah thanks lad
its not quite as flashly as the patch method since it doesnt expand the booster pack area but it works

[red flower]

it does I'm pretty sure

[manic rune]

i dunno, i considered adding tiles below the joker but i think that would conflict with how jokerdisplay's ui is placed

[modern kindle]

put tiles above then, nothings ever above

[red flower]

oh wait i totally forgot this exists too
i love undocumented functions

[red flower]

jokerdisplay is also above

🙂

[ivory coral]

wait what

[modern kindle]

im going to send myself away

[manic rune]

would become obsolete if you have jokerdisplay, i plan to make it so that the ui of the mod will show conditions to proc follow-up effects, ultimates, and such

[modern kindle]

straight to the sun

[ivory coral]

youre telling me theres been a thing that does the thing im trying to do this whole time

[red flower]

sorry i completely forgot about it lmao

[ivory coral]

omg thats why it didnt work when i patched it because SMODS already has a thing for it

[sullen fern]

it's not formatted like the misc section

[manic rune]

probably the best approach to take if i were to make my mod compatible with jokerdisplay, i think displaying the stats would be overwhelming

[ivory coral]

dangit i shouldve checked SMODS code

[red flower]

you can still put colors in the descriptions using {C: and stuff

[indigo loom]

hi

i just start using steamodded

[indigo loom]

and i got stuck while looking through documentation, where can i get help?

[red flower]

here

[manic rune]

my friend fucking ddos'ed the online compiler website im using

💀

[indigo loom]

okay

[red flower]

lmao

[indigo loom]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions#step-2-logiceffects

im reading over this part

[sullen fern]

so where do i put my tooltip

[red flower]

loc_vars

[red flower]

they have to be in descriptions = { Other = {

[indigo loom]

this seems to be how a +150 chips joker should be done, but it crashes when a card is played

and i cannot for the life of me figure out what i've misunderstood

[red flower]

what's the crash log

[red flower]

unlocked and discovered shouldn't have the quotes btw

[ivory coral]

alright so its very nearly function
only problem now is that when you first redeem the voucher it doesnt change the shop to reflect the new size
not sure why but it might be because redeeming a voucher doesnt count as G.STATES.SHOP which the function checks for
is there a way around this

[indigo loom]

it seems to work either way, but i removed them and it still crashes

[ivory coral]

or maybe i should put the call in calculate instead of redeem hang on

[wintry solar]

redeem should be fine

you want to add a booster slot right?

[ivory coral]

no wait that wouldnt work

[red flower]

it looks fine to me unless I'm missing something, are you trying to continue a run after modifying the joker?

[sullen fern]

formatting.

[hard flume]

Half way done with adding Worlds :)

[ivory coral]

right now i have

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
            SMODS.change_booster_limit(card.ability.extra.bonus)
            shop:recalculate()
            return true end }))
    end,```

[sullen fern]

now to add the actual effect

which is chips when a specific suit rarity is scored

[wintry solar]

you only need the change booster limit line, you can delete the rest of it

[hard flume]

Now to actually add the cards and figure out how to make them functional

[ivory coral]

no wait i dont have shop:recalculate thats a holdover nvm

[indigo loom]

yes, that was my mistake, thank you!

sorry, i just didnt consider it would make a difference lol

[red flower]

config values stay the same on reload so if you change that it'll likely crash

[indigo loom]

ahhhh

okay that makes sense

[sullen fern]

so what would i do in order to have chips happen when a specfic set of suits is played

[indigo loom]

thank youuu

[ivory coral]

done that but the issue is still there, it doesnt update the shop you buy the voucher in, only future shops

[hard flume]

Actually. Sleep time. I'll work on it in the morning.

[sullen fern]

i would have to make actual groupings for the suits so that i can call them

[red flower]

this is what i do with the cardarea, if it helps

[wintry solar]

it should do, let me check locally

[sullen fern]

how would i do that

[hard flume]

It should!!! Thank you so much

[ivory coral]

i mentioned earlier the function being called checks for G.STATES.SHOP when adding boosters so maybe when redeeming a voucher that's considered false so it doesnt add them?

[hard flume]

I assume this is in a lovely patch?

[sullen fern]

actually would i be able to call common_suits

or would that not work

[red flower]

yes

[hard flume]

OK bet

[manic rune]

is this it

or is it Four Of A Kind

[sullen fern]

ii really should create like

grouping of suits

so i can easily call them

so i don't have to do them all seperately

i'm saying this again

can i just create a group of suits

[manic rune]

crap

hm

how do i tell the game to check if its exactly four of a kind

rn it works for all poker hands including four of a kind

[sullen fern]

becuase suits are a part of local vars

so if i'm like

[wintry solar]

huh yeah, that seems to be the reason, you can just add this in your redeem function then and it'll work

for i = 1, mod do
            SMODS.add_booster_to_shop()
        end

[sullen fern]

local commonsuits = puyo_puyored_suit

[manic rune]

this is currently my code :3

[ivory coral]

sweet, thanks a lot lad

[wintry solar]

I'll fix it properly in smods too

but that'll work for now

[manic rune]

theres uh, nothing on calculate saying how to do this rn, it just says how to check if poker hand exists in the played hand

[scarlet spire]

i've got a bit of a confusing wording problem to deal with...
so basically, The Ox, when in the collection, just says (Most played poker hand) in place of the hand, when it really refers to the most played poker hand as of the last boss blind, but that doesn't really matter
I have a new boss blind that increases the blind size if your money is below the amount you had at the end of the last boss, but the collection text for this is waaay too long, because I can't do the same trick the ox does in terms of shortening it

any ideas on how to phrase this in a way that cuts it down

[red flower]

context.scoring_name

[manic rune]

got it, tks :3

[sullen fern]

i dont think thjis is correct

[wintry solar]

oh that was a lot easier than I thought it would be

@ivory coral it's patched in latest smods to work properly now

[ivory coral]

oh you mean so it doesnt need that extra bit

[wintry solar]

yeah

[ivory coral]

oh cool thanks

[sullen fern]

first i have to figure out how to make the joker score chips for a specific set of suit

i know showdown has a joker like that

color splash i think?

yeah, i don't understand this.

can someone like, help me with this?

i haven't done anything like this before

like, scoring chips when specific suits are scored

[paper zealot]

My pampered sensitive eyes cannot handle the purity that is blinding light-mode un-highlighted code

[solar eagle]

where is start_dissolve defined?

aha found it

[latent portal]

chat

peak?

[solar eagle]

hmm

how would i create a new context?

specifically for when a card is copied

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_context({you_context_name = true, copied_card = card}) then you can access it with context.you_context_name and context.copied_card

[solar eagle]

oooo handy

i was looking at the function but wasnt quite sure how it worked

[manic rune]

[red flower]

https://tenor.com/view/qingque-honkai-honkai-impact-pray-gamble-gif-14600112523499018444

[manic rune]

hard to proc consistently but i think X4 Mult whenever a card is scored makes it worth the gamble

:3

[earnest stratus]

Hello folks, I've been learning Lua and would like to start looking around the source code to get a better idea of how the game is built so I can develop my own mod. Since I'm fairly new to this, would anyone be kind enough to explain to me how I can access/view the source code?

[chrome widget]

Use a file unzipper like 7zip or Winrar on your Balatro executable, and the source code is right there

[earnest stratus]

Awesome, thank you!

[chrome widget]

What would be the most effective way to make a voucher effect that gives you a tag on boss blind defeat like anaglyph?

The decks use trigger effects/contexts in SMODS, but afaik vouchers don't have anything similar?

Would I basically just define vouchers as a cardarea so that I can evaluate them like other cards?4

Oh well, they are a cardarea already, I assume

Just not normally touched by SMODS.calculate_context()

[paper zealot]

#1349064230825103441 message

[rapid stag]

...what? i click my new tab and get this error.

contents of the right image is going into SMODS.current_mod.extra_tabs

[paper zealot]

I think that G.UIT.T node needs to be nested in another table:
nodes = {{ n = G.UIT.T, ...etc }}

[rapid stag]

ohhhh forgot about that

my toggles suddenly stopped working? the only thing i can think of that's different is that this might be the first time i've used one since i refactored the config ui into its own lua file. these toggles worked before - but now it's just not liking it?

i didn't change anything about the toggle code

other than that i moved the whole ui code

[paper zealot]

How are the callbacks defined? They might be pointing to a function that isn't in the current scope

They might need to be in the G.FUNCS global namespace, or preferably defined as members of your mod table if they're not already

[rapid stag]

in the create_toggle({}) call,

ref_value = [the associated item in config.lua],
callback = CirnoMod.callback_[ref_value]Toggle```

for each toggle

[paper zealot]

That looks right, assuming everything else is good. Are you reassigning CirnoMod.config to SMODS.current_mod.config at any point after the very start?

[rapid stag]

it's one of the first things that happens and it only happens once

[tepid crow]

is your callback function doing anything in particular btw? I don't think I normally give my toggles one

[rapid stag]

the only place it's defined or referenced is in the create_toggle

[paper zealot]

Oh, you haven't actually defined that function? You can probably remove it then

[rapid stag]

well that fixes the crash, thanks i'm probably not gonna need the callback for anything anyway

[paper zealot]

Yet again, i'm not surprised that it didn't work, but i'm surprised that it ever worked in the first place

[tepid crow]

✨ coding ✨

[rapid stag]

i guess it just forgot to crash until now

a certified localthunk moment

[gilded blaze]

is this the correct way to check for joker's rarity

[tall wharf]

yooo cross mod content by accident

[rapid stag]

no matter how many spaces i put, it doesn't do the spaces.

[tall wharf]

sorry i just woke up

lol

[tall wharf]

oh yeah the X doesn't work with space lol

it just doesn't

[rapid stag]

...THUNK!

[tepid crow]

yeah it's weird lol

[tall wharf]

new deck today

[rapid stag]

is there maybe a whitespace character i could use instead trick it into doing what'll effectively be a space
or is there only a limited characterset that the game's font or whatever is happening internally recognises?

[tepid crow]

oh right found it

it happens in the loc_parse_string at functions/misc_functions:1634

[gilded blaze]

how do I check for joker's rarity 😭

[rapid stag]

oop - uhhhh this looks correct? does it cause crashes?

[tepid crow]

idk man 😭

[latent portal]

i need help

[gilded blaze]

I tried to use a while loop

[latent portal]

im trying to create a card in G.consumables, but whenever i do it just. creates over it.

not in it.

and i have a completely useless draggable card.

[gilded blaze]

so, something like this

ok my code is so jank

[tall wharf]

G.consumeables moment?

[latent portal]

omg aikoyori hiii!

[tall wharf]

hiii

I'm cooked

[latent portal]

do u know what went wrong?

[tall wharf]

i have class in an hour and a half

I'm still in my pyjamas

[tepid crow]

nice

[latent portal]

aw

well an hour and a half is a while

[tall wharf]

it's ok it's online class

[latent portal]

im jealous

[tall wharf]

still think I'm cooked

[tepid crow]

probably use SMODS.add_card

[gilded blaze]

😭

[latent portal]

thats a thing??

[tepid crow]

yeeee

[tall wharf]

yeah

we love documented functions

[gilded blaze]

I tried to use a while loop and got stuck in an infinite loop
I could not tell what's wrong with envious_roulette

[fickle stag]

I HATE MULTITHREADING !!!!

[tall wharf]

good morning

[latent portal]

oh my god i changed one word and it worked instantly

was looking at balatro multiplayer’s networking code i’m going to blow up!

[fickle stag]

hello!

i’m not sure how lovely works with imports? i tried installing a json package w luarocks but it doesn’t find it

[tall wharf]

people be like

"just add multithreading to Minecraft it ain't that hard"

[tepid crow]

people who have never programmed anything complicated in their life be like

[tall wharf]

check out my epic jojoker

[gilded blaze]

"When a Tarot card is used, 1 in 4 chance to create a random Negative Tarot card"

I'm just using common sense wording from vanilla

[tall wharf]

i have an edition that makes the card trigger twice but the values are halved

[fickle stag]

so what’s the

difference

oh

[gilded blaze]

The Duo now does nothing

[tall wharf]

exactly

[gilded blaze]

giving twice of X1 Mult is really nothing

[fickle stag]

create half a tarot card

[tall wharf]

here's my space oddity challenge

it's more like a what if

[gilded blaze]

[tepid crow]

sliced is a pretty cool edition (?) btw

[tall wharf]

it is an edition yeah

[rapid stag]

"the solo: X1 mult if played hand contains a high card"
...

[tall wharf]

free X0.25

could be useful for the Height

[gilded blaze]

how do I fix envious_roulette 😭

[rapid stag]

{X:inactive} is not the same colour as {C:inactive}?

[tall wharf]

have you tried debug printing and

[minor furnace]

something about this being 1 in 2 instead of 2 in 4 hurts my soul

[gilded blaze]

people have already answered that's the correct way

[tall wharf]

it's sliced

[gilded blaze]

I'm now asking for defects in envious_roulette

😭

[tall wharf]

what does that do

[gilded blaze]

chance to destroy at end of round

[minor furnace]

does sliced halve the base probability? I diagnose myself with unable to read

[gilded blaze]

deck effect that applies to all owned jokers

[tall wharf]

you're supposed to remove cards with context no?

wait no

that's just jokers moment

[manic rune]

if ur new, i suggest checking out #1349064230825103441...

-# shameless plugging!

[tall apex]

SHAMELESS PLUGGING!!!

[minor furnace]

do you round odd probabilities up or down

[tall wharf]

so which part didn't work

[tall wharf]

no

[gilded blaze]

always return 0, causing an infinite loop

[tall wharf]

probabilities are unaffected

[versed swan]

How do you do joker retriggers? I don't know if I didnt check docs close enough but couldnt find anything on the matter

[manic rune]

its useful!!!

-# maybe

[sonic cedar]

last one of these for a bit, i'll share some that have special conditions to trigger other than "joker did thing do transform oog oog"

but this one shows off functional not-zany and the ijiraq ingame

[tall apex]

Mayhaps

[minor furnace]

then this doesn't answer why the fraction is 1 in 2 instead of 2 in 4 on space joker

[tall wharf]

i think you'd want to use a for loop if you just want to go thru all the cards no?

[tall wharf]

because in challenge menu the dice doesn't do shit yet

[minor furnace]

unless, it halved both the 2 and the 4?

[gilded blaze]

if a joker is destroyed via envious_roulette, #G.jokers.cards goes down by 1, while i increases by 1, thus breaking the iteration

[manic rune]

I really advise against using while loops unless absolutely necessary

[tall wharf]

what did you put in the extras.odds_rare

[tall wharf]

bro

oops all sixes doesn't take effect on run menu

that's why it still says 1 in 2

[gilded blaze]

{odds_uncommon = 20, odds_rare = 15, odd_legendary = 10}

[minor furnace]

yeah but isn't Space Joker typically 1 in 4

[tall wharf]

IT'S SLICED

IT HALVES THE ODDS

NOT THE PROBABILITIES NORMAL

WAAAAAA

[minor furnace]

ah

[gilded blaze]

halving the odds = doubling the probability

[minor furnace]

I see now

[gilded blaze]

imagine

[sonic cedar]

youre flipping one coin instead of 2

[tall wharf]

(it's still on GitHub)

[manic rune]

if you really intend on using while loops for this one, put a var outside it like local stop = false, then set it to true when roll returns 1 (aka while not stop do), relying on G.jokers.cards seems really unreliable

[gilded blaze]

Bloodstone: played cards with Hearts suit give X0.75 Mult

[tall wharf]

exactly

[sonic cedar]

literally yes

[minor furnace]

well yes, but it says it halves all values, which I initially interpereted to be both the numerator and denominator because they are stored as separate values

[sonic cedar]

[tall wharf]

the numerator is usually from game variable

[gilded blaze]

G.GAME.probabilities.normal

[minor furnace]

I am aware of this

I've used it in my own modding

[gilded blaze]

so it's the wording that causes confusion

[manic rune]

i dont think i = i + roll actually does anything here, now that i think about it

[sonic cedar]

this is a common aiko occurence which i find hilarious

[tall wharf]

values are halved if possible

[minor furnace]

you could just as easily feed G.GAME.probabilities.normal/2 to the loc_vars and use it in the calculations

[tall wharf]

i don't know how to word it

[gilded blaze]

painge

that's the culprit I see

[tall apex]

Goodnight balatro bozos

[manic rune]

orr wait, can you show me the entire code

[tall apex]

[manic rune]

i have a really vague idea on how the code looks like rn 💀

[minor furnace]

yeah I was getting caught up on the wording

[tall wharf]

have you seen this

my wordings are crazy

[manic rune]

no no, i got it wrong with for loops, since it always comes with for i = so i always changes each time another loop runs inside it

this is what lack of sleep + tests do to you

💔

[tall wharf]

-# (i don't know English)

[gilded blaze]

[minor furnace]

See personally I would feed the text for the option instead of its index to the main description

[tall wharf]

yeah it's the first word

[sonic cedar]

lack of tests? well then you should be fine!

[manic rune]

and the purpose of this is to do wat

[manic rune]

lack of sleep AND tests everyday

:3

[minor furnace]

in which case do you need the last line at all?

[tall wharf]

in case you're confused

[gilded blaze]

at end of round, higher joker rarity = higher chance to be destroyed

[manic rune]

i see

[minor furnace]

very interesting Joker concept though

[minor furnace]

there is no freedom 😔

[tall wharf]

ado reference

[minor furnace]

wait what was the ado reference

[tall wharf]

freedom

[sonic cedar]

me selling chaos

[minor furnace]

ah. see I am a fake fan, who only knows usseewa

[tall wharf]

i went to her concert once...

[minor furnace]

and the One Piece Red songs

[manic rune]

sooo if i have 5 jokers then it will keep running the loop until it destroys all of them?

actually, in the middle ground

probably stop at about 2-3 jokers

[tall wharf]

if all else fail just destroy a random one

[gilded blaze]

since i = i + roll doesn't work, it's an infinite loop

[minor furnace]

I had freinds that went to an Ado concert in Chicago? I think is where it was

[gilded blaze]

and I don't think envious_roulette works either

[manic rune]

yeah but is it supposed to destroy more than one joker here?

[gilded blaze]

each joker, depending on its rarity, rolls a Gros Michel-like logic

[vast fractal]

is there a SMOD.Blind code example since my brain cant fully understand what's in the documentation

[manic rune]

yeah no the logic is definitely wrong here

[gilded blaze]

I see

[manic rune]

what you are doing is increasing i by 1 everytime a joker is destroyed, i suppose?

[tall wharf]

my code looks funny

[minor furnace]

One day I will complete my multi-wave finisher blind...

[gilded blaze]

if a joker is not destroyed, increase i by 1
if it's destroyed, i stays the same while decreasing #G.jokers.cards by 1

[tall wharf]

guys

i just found my own bug

THE NATURE DEBUFFS ALL CONSUMABLES

https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/54fce2abab9f7a96307a56ed0d66b1b5112f0974/modules/blinds.lua#L371

[minor furnace]

the Perkeo Observatory killer

[tall wharf]

NO

THAT'S NOT WHAT THE NATURE IS SUPPOSED TO DO

[manic rune]

:3

[tall wharf]

IT IS SUPPOSED TO GIVE X0.5 MULT PER FACE CARDS IN HAND AND AT PLAY

[minor furnace]

???

how

how does it turn from that into that

[manic rune]

yeah uh your code is confusing as hell, doesn't help with the fact that im on my phone too

[tall wharf]

I FORGOT TO REMOVE SET BLIND

[manic rune]

💔

[tall wharf]

I COPIED THIS SHIT RIGHT FROM EXPIRY

[minor furnace]

based

[tall wharf]

oh anyway jsyk

[gilded blaze]

[minor furnace]

btw did any of y'all see this post on reddit? because there is a demon inside me that makes me want to implement it

[manic rune]

passing your problems to aiko or someone else, sorry :(

[minor furnace]

double it and pass it to the next person

[tall wharf]

i feel like I've had this concept in my head before

[minor furnace]

this is exactly the level of insane I love to see

[tall wharf]

but not start new run

[manic rune]

im never touching yt again

;3

[minor furnace]

further insanity, if you manage to duplicate it, you have to play a game for each copy

imagine getting this card inside of a sub-run where you already had it

and surely the sub-runs count towards completion?

I need to stop before I actually try to do this

[manic rune]

would it be funny if i made a mod which turns all text into binary

[gilded blaze]

e.g. I have 5 jokers
at end of round, each joker is supposed to go through Gros Michel-like logic
if it's not destroyed, increase i by 1 (undestroyed joker passes the iteration to the next joker)
if it's destroyed, decrease #G.jokers.cards by 1 (destroyed joker passes its own iteration to the next joker)

at least that's what I intend it to

but i = i + roll doesn't work, envious_roulette doesn't destroy jokers

[minor furnace]

oh no what if I made a joker that does something different depending on the current day of the week

or a Joker that specifically only does something on Leap Day

[gilded blaze]

Leap Joker (Common)

X29 Mult if triggered on Feb 29th
otherwise +4 Mult

[minor furnace]

I think I should do this

Tomorrow™️

[gilded blaze]

changed to for loop and removed i = i + roll

it worked, but destroyed every joker 💀

so envious_roulette works

the only problem is i = i + roll

and iterations too

[turbid maple]

this is cursed

[minor furnace]

speedrun challenge

I think it's more cursed that high contrast isn't on though

[fickle stag]

how do I hook functions? for example run my own when a shop is entered, and when in the playing stage, selecting blind etc

[turbid maple]

lua is like a house made of playdoh and you can just overwrite functions by redefining it

[paper zealot]

Good explainer here

[fickle stag]

thanks!!

damn u can just do anything

[tall wharf]

hello

[fickle stag]

hewwo

[tall wharf]

i think instead of losing maybe you just end round without going to the shop

[paper zealot]

You can, which is very powerful, but there are no safety checks.
Make sure you're not breaking anything in your mod or in other's mods by hooking important functions incorrectly

[turbid maple]

no i'm planning on removing hands/discards as a resource

[tall wharf]

I'll go somewhere today maybe

i just wish

[turbid maple]

nice washing machine

[paper zealot]

-signed, someone who accidentally broke the Multiplayer mod with a bad hook to Game:main_menu

[tall wharf]

me when i forgot to return the original value

[fickle stag]

im just getting info then running %orig

hopefully it wont be hard ;;;;;; idk

[fickle stag]

how do people get so good at washing machines

[tall wharf]

I'M NOT THAT GOOD

[turbid maple]

me when I brainfart and call the hooking function inside the hooking function and create an infinite loop

[fickle stag]

lv13 AAA

[turbid maple]

where are you that you have easy access to japanese washing machine games im jealous

[tall wharf]

yeah but that means nothing

[tall wharf]

Bangkok...

[fickle stag]

the closest one to me is a 30 min drive

[turbid maple]

damn trying to find an arcade that doesn't suck ass around murica is impossible

lucky you

[tall wharf]

i only started playing 13 recently

i mean I'm not even that good

[tall wharf]

wait for like

a few months

they are trying to get maimai to the US

[vast fractal]

ahhh
idk why there is a true value there on the error 😭

[scarlet spire]

alright im gonna try to figure this out one more time before I either wait for blinds to get calculate functions, or figure out how to patch it in

is there a way to have a blind debuff all consumables?

[fickle stag]

okay so just to check is it really as simple as just:

local update = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
    update(self, dt)
     ... my own code

[paper zealot]

Pretty much. I'd also rename update for clarity, and return the result of the original function. Just for the sake of mod compatibility if other mods also hook update to return a value:

local game_update_ref = Game.update
function Game:update(dt)
  local ret = game_update_ref(self, dt)
  -- things and such
  return ret
end

[fickle stag]

oh wait other mods can access my variables too?

wtf hahah okay

thanks !!!

[paper zealot]

Lua is a little scary like that. Everything is global by default, local limits their scope. Gotta be careful with what you're introducing into the global namespace

[fickle stag]

got it :D

[paper zealot]

With great power comes great responsibility - some dead guy

[tall wharf]

i have class

wah

:<

ordering mcds again today

[fickle stag]

is there a way for me to like use ctrl click to view definitions in balatro src

like it's just syntax highlighting in vsc

[tall wharf]

i think you'll have to like

put stuff in lua things

normally i just look in the source code myself

[fickle stag]

ah

[tall wharf]

also

yeah put the whole mods folder in workspace

steamodded has lsp thing

[paper zealot]

Should do the trick

Along with the Lua extension, though its not always great at resolving more complex relationships

[fickle stag]

mfw forgot to install lua lsp

[fickle stag]

thanks!

[sonic cedar]

stealing this trick for tmr

[scarlet spire]

my wacky patching experiments are NOT succeeding

trying to patch in a game variable that suppresses the creation of consumables really just leads to create_card returning nil which is a scary thing that should never happen

because things that use create_card and then do something to that created card are not nil checking, and probably didn't need to until I came along

[tall wharf]

im not a bot

[gleaming zealot]

happy pi day nerds

[tall wharf]

happy pi day silly

[opal spade]

why are there so many special days in march

[tall wharf]

MAR10 was mario day

[lavish lake]

#1346716313934102598 give me ideas pls

[vast fractal]

is there a way to trigger a blind after before the final scoring step?

[scarlet spire]

probably once calculate functions are added to blinds

I believe you'd have to patch this in currently

press_play only activates pre-scoring

[vast fractal]

thank you
omg peak pain again 😭

[scarlet spire]

i'm in it too, one of my blinds is currently extremely evil because it scrambles suits of played cards before scoring, so any hands relating to suit are completely ruined

[versed swan]

I'm trying to make a Joker retrigger the right-most Joker, but it's not working; how do I do it?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= self then
        if context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards] then
            return {
                message = "Again!",
                repetitions = 1,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end
end,

[vast fractal]

my dumb ahh brain cant figure how to make it work)

[daring fern]

How could one make a joker multiply all values of another joker by a certain amount?

[hushed field]

if you wanna be able to reset them, store them on the multiplied joker, and then check if ability.extra is a table or a value. if it's a value, multiply that value, if it's a table, go through the table and multiply every number

this will multiple generally every value, though, which will definitely mess with some jokers in unexpected ways

[zealous glen]

I don’t recommend this but Cryptid does it, so maybe try seeing how they do it

[fickle stag]

what's the function run when hands are played / discarded? i can't find it in the src qwq

[vast fractal]

oops
