play_cards_from_highlighted and discard_cards_from_highlighted

[quasi comet]

So fsr I have a consumeable that gives you a random playing card; but it doesn't trigger Hologram when the card is added to deck?

[zealous glen]

You need to do it manually

[quasi comet]

i forgot a pair of brackets OTL im tired...

[halcyon osprey]

Hey whats the variable to add more discards?

[zealous glen]

not variable but you can use the function ease_discards

[halcyon osprey]

something else i gotta do? its crashing lmao, theres a nil value somewhere

[frosty dock]

it's ease_discard, not ease_discards

[halcyon osprey]

hell yeah thank you!

[zealous glen]

L Victin

[vast fractal]

how to inject the code so that blind will be triggered before the final scoring step 😭

[zealous glen]

Idk what you’re trying to do but there’s a Blind expansion coming to SMODS

[vast fractal]

blind effect: played hand will be destroyed after scored
but ye, i will just wait for the Blind expansion

[zealous glen]

I have something similar in my mod, but I don’t think that helps you.

In any case, you could switch to the branch with the Blind changes and try using it

[halcyon osprey]

okay so, i guess one more thing is general discards, This thing is going at every single card, not general discard

so after discarding 10 cards it dies, but i prefer if it can die after 10 total discards kind of thing

context.discard is doing every discarded card augh

[zealous glen]

Take a look at the wiki to see what contexts there are

[halcyon osprey]

i have

[hushed field]

context.pre_discard isn't individual, right?

[halcyon osprey]

that one triggers when i press the button i assume?

lemme try it

hell yeah perfect

are there any functions or variables for Granting and removing Stickers from jokers (like enternal, rental and perishable)

[maiden phoenix]

Check set_eternal like functions

[zealous glen]

SMODS provides apply functions I think

I always forget the names

That’s why I tell people to check the wiki

[hushed field]

SMODS.Stickers['kino_goldleaf']:apply(_card, true)

except change kino_goldleaf to the proper key ofc

[hard flume]

Does anyone know how to take my Joker out of the shop pool and the jimbo pack pool?

[hushed field]

set a flag

like gross michel and cavendish

[frosty dock]

Also Card:add_sticker and Card:remove_sticker as of recently, which I'm not sure has found its way into the wiki yet

[zealous glen]

look for in_pool

in the wiki

[hard flume]

Got it. Thanks

[wintry solar]

Yeah it’s just run once per discard phase

[zealous glen]

Except with the Hook I think

[hushed field]

the return tables on SMODS.calculate_context() contain whatever a joker returns in it's return statement, right?

[zealous glen]

I don’t remember

Because I know the Hook is handled separately

[hard flume]

I've got the cards appearing only in the pool I want them to, now for getting them functional.

[wintry solar]

The hook isn’t part of the normal discard phase

[zealous glen]

But it calculates effects

[hard flume]

How would I go about changing the background like it does during boss blinds and boosters?

[zealous glen]

See Bunco

Or my mod that copied from Bunco

[hard flume]

Oki, oki. Got it.

[fickle stag]

hi hi what function's called when scoring a card? like the sound playing part

[tall wharf]

try looking in eval card but what are you doing 😭

[fickle stag]

play a sound

:p

modding in this game really just lets u do anything huh

im getting sidetracked

[fickle stag]

how was mai

[tall wharf]

😭

tired as hell i have work at 9pm I'm still at the place

[fickle stag]

man

pain

work at 9pm the fuck

do u do night shift

[tall wharf]

no

it was just group work

just uni project

[hushed field]

If I wanted to make a card back that had an effect like 'Jokers with an "A" in their name are twice as likely to spawn', what's the best way to go about that?

[opal spade]

this is a localizational nightmare tbh

it should be pretty easy to implement but it would lead to it working differently depending on the selected language

[hushed field]

Haha, should've picked a different example. I'm just looking for ways to increase the spawn rate on jokers for arbitrary qualities, mostly

[opal spade]

ah

i think the best way would be to hook the pool function, go through the pool it outputs and then insert extra copies of the jokers that fit your criteria at the end of the pool

to double their spawnrate

if you want to decrease the spawnrate instead you could do the same but instead of inserting extra copies at the end you'd add a chance to replace the jokers that fit the criteria with an 'UNAVAILABLE'

[hard flume]

Man... shaders are hard

I'm trying to make a shaders that darken the colors to close to black, and add a subtle wave, but I've no idea how to do that

[hushed field]

ah, I guess that does make sense. I might see if I can make a custom pool func in that case

[tall wharf]

shaders are not for the faint of heart

it's crazy

tho once you get the ball rolling it's pretty much your canvas made of code

[worthy stirrup]

i keep getting this crash, from all i know, its not because of any mods, its becaues of steammodded itself

smods or lovely

[quartz ravine]

Hey guys, this is a funny issue.

I am trying to create a new edition with progressive growth, kind of like how the Hiker increases chip value for a played card.

Well, somehow in doing this I have made it so all cards of this edition share the same value. So when one increases, it affects this for all other cards of the edition.

It makes for some insane growth but was not what I meant!

@wintry solar , do you see my mistake?

        key = "secretRare",
        loc_txt = {
            name = "Secret Rare",
            label = "secretRare",
            text = {                
                "Gains {X:chips,C:white}+ #1# chips{} when scored",
                "Gains {X:chips,C:white}+ #2# chips{} chips for each other card played in hand",
                "{C:inactive}Currently + #3#s{}",
            }
        },
        discovered = true,
        unlocked = true,
        shader = 'secretRare',
        config = {            
            chipGrowthRateSelf =  5,
            chipGrowthRateOther = 2,
            chips = 5
        },
        in_shop = true,
        weight = 80,
        extra_cost = 4,
        -- disable_base_shader=true,
        apply_to_float = true, --false,
        loc_vars = function(self)
            return { vars = { 
                self.config.chipGrowthRateSelf,
                self.config.chipGrowthRateOther,
                self.config.chips } }
        end,
        sound = {
            sound = "Fox_ghostRare",
            per = 1,
            vol = 0.3,
        },
        calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.post_joker or (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play) then
                sendInfoMessage("we are counting this card", "secretRare")

                self.config.chips = self.config.chips + 5
                return {
                    chips = card.edition.chips,
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            end
        end
    })

[zealous glen]

Don’t use self

Use card

[quartz ravine]

let me try that...

Sweet, it works!

[verbal wyvern]

My friend finished our sprite for Metal Pipe Joker (ONCE AGAIN SOUND WARNING)

Isnt it beautiful

[zealous glen]

Differently from vanilla, self refers to the prototype not the card, in order to be consistent with the usage of self

[quartz ravine]

Thank you @zealous glen !

[rapid stag]

i saw something earlier in here about being able to put custom UI in place of a joker description
and i'm wondering if it's possible to put images in joker descriptions

[halcyon osprey]

i love this

[halcyon osprey]

Stick a rickroll in a joker description that would be honestly Funny, Annoying and Very Impressive

[sonic cedar]

[turbid maple]

yeah sure you can override the description UI

[fickle stag]

how do I get the description of the joker's ability from G.jokers.cards[x]?

[turbid maple]

like the tooltip?

[fickle stag]

yeah

[turbid maple]

localize is the function to do that but figuring out all the stuff you need for it is a bit involved

you'd first have to call the joker's loc_vars function (it if exists) to get the variables that should be injected into the text

[fickle stag]

uhhhh where does the game do it?

[turbid maple]

actually I know you're trying to plug your AI into the game so if you just need the raw text the text is stored in some global table somewhere if you want to grab it directly but you'd have to manually deal with variables and formatting

[fickle stag]

oh yea

[turbid maple]

do you need the text as it is rendered in the game exactly

[fickle stag]

yeah

i mean normally it's like formatted w :C and stuff right

[turbid maple]

yeah

[fickle stag]

{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips <- how does this work?

bwehh

ah I see

damn there's gotta be a better way qwq

[red flower]

what are you trying to do with the descriptions?

[fickle stag]

uh i just want to fetch the description and send it to a python script, im trying to train an AI to play balatro

but now I think about it i have no idea if the description is gonna help

idk how to effectively say the effect of x joker especially w stuff like burnt

[red flower]

Isn't it better to send it the joker key and values? the ai doesn't need to understand the language

[fickle stag]

yeah

so .ability

[red flower]

yeah

[hard flume]

im getting the following error, but im not sure where in my code the error would be

[manic rune]

i think im going insane :3

[fickle stag]

how do I access the chips of a playing card? i've gotten suit w .base.suit and .rank, but im not sure where to find chips

it also changes w stone / bonus so do I have to calculate it myself?

[zealous glen]

There’s a function for it

In vanilla

[manic rune]

card:get_chip_bonus()

but if you want to include the chips from Foil too then you will have to do some more stuff

[fickle stag]

ahh okay, wait where are editions / seals for cards i just realised

[manic rune]

card.edition.key

-# i forgot where seals are, sorry :(

[fickle stag]

thanks!!

is it just me or is the code like

rly bad...

[manic rune]

no, the code is really

:3

[fickle stag]

oh 😭

its fine tho banger game

:3

[manic rune]

fr

[fickle stag]

wait i could just run eval_card

i think that'd work

[hasty thicket]

boo

I'm here to bother you all with questions on how I can start the process of creating my first joker.

All I want it to do, is be basic and give a 100x multiplier, and 100x chips.

Very simple in compared to all the other jokers

If anyone could help me understand the process it would be greatly appreciated

[fickle stag]

u could prolyl look at the example mods https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod

[hasty thicket]

what coding launcher should I have

I have visual studio code which isn't that good but it works

[fickle stag]

it works

[old bane]

thats what i jse

[fickle stag]

i think everyone uses vsc

[hasty thicket]

okay

[fickle stag]

is there even a dedicated lua IDE

[hasty thicket]

just confirmed

i havent touched coding in a long time

[manic rune]

check the video in my thread

its about making your first joker

[hasty thicket]

im just tryna start with code as per the steps

then I watch video

just tryna get familiar

[manic rune]

mhm, good idea

[hasty thicket]

seems easy enough

[modest iris]

guys this may be a stupid question but it's my first time modding and i was wondering if it's even possible to have stone cards displayed for an example hand in the run info menu. i've searched everywhere but i can't seem to find an answer

[hasty thicket]

not as complicated as creating 3d objects in unity

[modest iris]

im using steamodded api for creating a new hand

[zealous glen]

I think not but someone has requested this feature

Some mod has implemented it I think

[modest iris]

oh i see, thanks!

[hasty thicket]

i alr have the joker details picked out

opinions?

I have a question

[modern kindle]

you should be able to do this as a patch

[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/UI_definitions.lua"
pattern = '''
local card = Card(0,0, 0.5*G.CARD_W, 0.5*G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS[v[1]], G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
if v.enhancement then
    local ability = G.P_CENTERS[v.enhancement]
    card:set_ability(ability)
end

'''
match_indent = true
times = 1

then as the example

        { "S_A", true, enhancement = "m_stone" },
        { "S_A", true, enhancement = "m_stone" },
        { "S_A", true, enhancement = "m_stone" },
        { "S_A", true, enhancement = "m_stone" },
        { "S_A", true, enhancement = "m_stone" },
    },

this will work for all of the enhancements

[hasty thicket]

is it bad for me to copy the code created by the devs and use that to create my joker?

or is that not allowed

[turbid maple]

thats like 90% of what people do

[tall wharf]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

my patch is dying

hey void

[turbid maple]

localthunk will not sue you for copying the code of Burnt Joker

[modern kindle]

how is ur patch dying snookums

[tall wharf]

i used to use arrY index 3 for my letter hand

[modern kindle]

im gonna start eating ur hands then what can u use huh

[hasty thicket]

okay

[tepid crow]

I'd rather you use this patch #1347678934678114444 message btw, better mod compatibility

[minor magnet]

is there a way to make a patch apply conditionally?

[hasty thicket]

garb

iM MAKING MY FIRST JOKER

[modern kindle]

i guess ill just freaking dive off a cliff then >:(

[minor magnet]

nice!!!!

[lavish lake]

Can someone help me with consumable ideas? I'm running dry of them.

[minor magnet]

proud of ya

[tepid crow]

Your patch works fine, it just has some edgecases etc that can easily be worked around 😬

[modern kindle]

yea, i know i was having issues with crashing with ym custom enhancements unless i added in specifically it

[tepid crow]

also because I don't want them to fight with steamodded updates if steamodded ever decides to change it

[modern kindle]

so yours works better

[modest iris]

the thing is, i have no clue how to use patches, where do i put them?

[hasty thicket]

within 24 hours, I have bough balatro, got modded, and no creating a mod

now

kinda wild

[lavish lake]

you should probably play the game first

[hasty thicket]

i did on my switch

have over 55+ hours

[lavish lake]

oh

[hasty thicket]

lol

[verbal wyvern]

How would you get a Joker to debuff a random played card, Would I need to make it an event or is there a set.ability() for it

[hushed field]

SMODS has a specific debuff function

[lavish lake]

Cmon guys! I need ideas for my consumables! If this is going to continue the way it is right now, I'm gonna get nowhere!

[verbal wyvern]

Id put that in Calculate right?

[long sun]

is there any boilerplate code i can use to replace the Tarot card sheet with another one?

i downloaded a mod, but it didn't come with any scripts

[hushed field]

yes! If you want an example, I have some jokers that debuff in Kino

[verbal wyvern]

Yes please, Im very much a visual learner

[hasty thicket]

Where did I mess up here

[verbal wyvern]

atlas in Joker code

[tall wharf]

where is the syntax highlighting

[long sun]

Jokers.ping > Jokers.png

[tall wharf]

hi ghost

i mean

wait hold on

[long sun]

hai :D

[tall wharf]

is that

[lavish lake]

Are people going to care about everyone else but not me?

[long sun]

key = 'Joker2' > key = 'waffles'

[tall wharf]

the name you wanted to be referred by

I'm stupid

[long sun]

ya! that's it ^^

[hasty thicket]

ty

testing it now

[modern kindle]

alot of people here are making their own things, with their own ideas
so your best bet is just to ponder your own notions instead of aiming for people to supply them for you

[long sun]

oh you're missing some other things

[hasty thicket]

nope my mod doesn't show

[hushed field]

This one permanently debuffs cards:
https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/items/Jokers/aliens.lua

This one debuffs cards until the end of the round:
https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/items/Jokers/morbius.lua

[long sun]

ya you need to add some more info

lemme grab an example Joker

[hasty thicket]

darn it, im sorry 😭I tried to get most of it

im watching a video

and they went straight to balatro after this

[long sun]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'golfball',
  loc_txt = {
    name = 'Golf Ball',
    text = {
      "Played {C:attention}Steel{} cards",
      "give {C:white,X:mult}X#1#{} Mult",
      "when scored"
    }
  },
  config = { extra = { is_contestant = true, given_xmult = 2 } },
  rarity = 2,
  atlas = 'BFDI',
  pos = { x = 7, y = 1 },
  cost = 7,
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.given_xmult } }
  end,
    blueprint_compat = true,
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.ability.name == 'Steel Card' then
      return {
        xmult = card.ability.extra.given_xmult,
        card = card
      }
    end
  end
}```

[hasty thicket]

so idk

[lavish lake]

Im not creative and cant make any of my own ideas
||i totally didnt make 3 of the existing ideas||

[verbal wyvern]

Perfect ty, Im trying to make one that randomly debuffs a card before scoring so this v helpful

[hasty thicket]

ahhh okay

hold on let me try again

[long sun]

(you can ignore the is_contestant bit, a different Joker uses that)

lemme run through how all this works

config: holds all the variables your Joker is keeping track of [in extra]

[hushed field]

very doable! lmk if you run into anything, but I reckon you'll be fine, haha. The wiki utility page also explains the debuff func a bit https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[long sun]

rarity: 1 = common, 2 = uncommon, 3 = rare, 4 = legendary

[modern kindle]

my only consumables so far are for the custom hands ive made, so i get it
but people are gonna make their own ideas before they give them away so youll just have to think about what youd personally want to see as a consumable and simply go from there
otherwise maybe youll just have the few ones you have now, which isnt necessarily a bad thing

every mod doesnt need a billion of each item after all

[lavish lake]

Im only gonna make 50, that's small scale right?

[long sun]

atlas: set this to 'Jokers' (though, i don't know if you wanna change it to something else)

[modern kindle]

depends on the person i suppose, im at a little over 50 jokers and dont know how id make 50 consumables

[hushed field]

If you're committing to making 50 of something, and you're not sure what to do after 10, maybe just do 10 😛

[long sun]

pos: the coordinates of your Joker's sprite in your atlas image

starts at (0, 0)

cost: how much does your Joker cost? sell price is set automatically to half, floored

loc_vars: fills in the #1#s and #2#s and etc. with values

the first loc_var will fill in #1#, the second fills in #2#, etc

make sure to add card.ability.extra. to the starts of the variables

[hasty thicket]

okay im doing something wrongggg

[long sun]

blueprint_compat / eternal_compat / perishable_compat: is your Joker compatible with Blueprint, Eternal or Perishable?

calculate: the code for your Joker's ability

hope that helps ^^

[hasty thicket]

okay so big issue, the video I'm watching :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&t=7s Is doing a tutorial but the issue is mine doesn't appear in the balatro collection, would this be a coding issue?

[modern kindle]

@manic rune made this which should help you generally https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[hasty thicket]

Ik, he said get look over the code then watch and follow the video

[modern kindle]

he also says in there that some of the things int he video are outdated, so keep that in mind

[long sun]

ah, you need a JSON file

[hasty thicket]

bruh 😦

[modern kindle]

but if your stuff isnt appearing in collection, its not registering as existing

[hasty thicket]

?

[modern kindle]

so yea, a json is needed

[long sun]

lemme grab an example one

[hasty thicket]

okay 1s

[modern kindle]

you should be able to check steammodded exmaples

and they have a json you can edit

[long sun]

change the info in here accordingly ^^

[modern kindle]

that works too

[hasty thicket]

do i just put this into the code

at the top or bottom

[modern kindle]

separate file

[hasty thicket]

k

[modern kindle]

youll have main.lua and main.json

[hasty thicket]

what does json mean

[long sun]

short for [googling because i don't remember]

[modern kindle]

javascript object notation i think

[hasty thicket]

ty

[long sun]

short for JavaScript Object Notation

ya

[hasty thicket]

wait

"prefix": "bfdi",
"main_file": "BFDI.lua",
"badge_colour": "1C75C3",
"dependencies": [
"Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1225a)"
],
"version": "1.0.0"
}

I'm on this part

would I have to create another lua text file

for the bfdi.lua

[modern kindle]

no, it is just your main.lua

[long sun]

oh no, you need to change the info in the example i gave to fit your mod

[hasty thicket]

okay

just checking LOl

[long sun]

^^

[modern kindle]

everything ghost gave you should be changed for your mod

ie main.lua instead of bfdi.lua

[hasty thicket]

color doesn't matter ghost so i'm stealing your color

[long sun]

:>

[hasty thicket]

okay i think i changed everything

[long sun]

's not my colour anyway :>

[this is where the colour came from]

[modern kindle]

nah claim it as yours anyway youre the only one to post it in the last 10 minutes...its urs..

[long sun]

😭

[hasty thicket]

lol

1s

[modern kindle]

remember kids, if nobody else sees it nearby its yours

[hasty thicket]

okay

[long sun]

didn't know dragons could use computers :}

[hasty thicket]

okay

1s

[modern kindle]

theyre quite smart you know

[hasty thicket]

how do i send it as a text file

so it doesn't clog

[long sun]

also, ax my previous question about texture packs, i got it working :>>>

[modern kindle]

that atlas was definitely not right looking from what i saw

[modern kindle]

which is ur fave

[hasty thicket]

I messed up somehow 1s

[hasty thicket]

i like the eye and wheel

SMODS.Atlas{
key = 'Jokers',
path = 'Jokers.png',
px = 71,
py = 95
}
SMODS.Joker{
key = 'Waffles',
loc_text = {
name = 'Joker: Waffles',
text = {
'Beyond all the best pancakes, there are even better waffles.',
'create a {C:attention}Joker{}',
'{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult'
}
},
atlas = 'Jokers',
pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
config = {extra ={
Xmult = 1000000
}
},
loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
return {vars = {center.ability.extraXmult}}
end
}

[long sun]

(textures provided by ReijiAL)

[long sun]

lemme see!

The World :D

[hard flume]

How exactly do I make it so boosters give cards of a certain type?
And where exactly do I put the code to get cards to appear in my custom card area?

[modern kindle]

numbers 4 and 7 are my goats from the pic
i like em

[long sun]

yaaaa Emperor and Chariot

[hushed field]

what type or you wanting it to give? a subset of jokers, or a new a consumeable?

[long sun]

second page

i really like Judgement, here :D

(XX)

[hard flume]

Subset of Jokers for now, but I also plan to add new consumables so both would be helpful

[modern kindle]

imagine a shader that made the glass shine all nice like...

at least, these make me think of stained glass

[long sun]

oooh yeahhhhhhh

i could give them the Spectral shader?

but i don't know how to code that

[hushed field]

you need to create a pool of the subset you're intending, or if it's a specific one, you could do the logic in the create_card functionality of boosters

[hasty thicket]

okay back

okay

[long sun]

how would i add the Spectral shader to the Tarots?

[hard flume]

Would object_type work as pool?

[hasty thicket]

Okay, what's outdated here?

[wintry solar]

Nothing

[hasty thicket]

so how did i mess up

[wintry solar]

You just miss a . in the loc vars return

[hasty thicket]

its not showing in the modded

testing it now

[hushed field]

you need to make an objecttype to make a pool, as far as I know, yeah

[hasty thicket]

nope doesn't work 😦

im trolling myself somehow

[wintry solar]

Do you have the manifest file?

[hasty thicket]

i don't know much but here are my files

[hard flume]

i have one created, but i dont know how to call it in the booster pack

[hushed field]

the boosterpack will have a create_card. For example, on my Action pack, which only contains jokers with the action genre, the create_card is just this:

        return create_card("Action", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, nil, nil)
    end```

"Action" there is the key to the pool/objecttype

[unkempt thicket]

I do this to a custom consumable type in familiars main code, I can't get the code right now though.

[wintry solar]

What’s inside the json?

Also I think assets needs to be lower case

[hasty thicket]

ok

[halcyon osprey]

the code for my Duplicate spades 1/3 times. It crashes on retriggers due to how i have it move one card eachtime its activated and i think thats the reason why it crashes since it goes beyond the played amount. is there some sort of thing for my +1 at the top to not be used when retriggers happen?

(its a slightly modified DNA pretty much)

[wintry solar]

Why not just use other card as the card you copy?

[hasty thicket]

me?

[halcyon osprey]

?

[wintry solar]

No, does your mod show in the mod menu?

[hasty thicket]

nope

[halcyon osprey]

(fixed the _ btw

[wintry solar]

Something wrong in the json or your mod is nested probably

[hasty thicket]

what does nested mean

[wintry solar]

Yeah like that but I imagine you still need the other arguments

[hasty thicket]

like it's inside two files when it shouldn't be

[wintry solar]

Yes, if you screenshot the file path with your mod folder it’d be easy to see

[halcyon osprey]

it... its perfect 😭

[wintry solar]

Oh those aren’t actually lua and json files

[hasty thicket]

FUCK

[wintry solar]

They’re txt files

[hasty thicket]

dude

i swear to god, i started this an hour or two ago

i download the pplication less than 8 hours ago

i feel so dumb

[hard flume]

Tysm! Now I just need to figure out how to get them added to their own space instead of the general Joker space

[hasty thicket]

how do i fix it

[wintry swallow]

do you have extensions enabled?

[hasty thicket]

Prob not

[wintry swallow]

Idk how it is in englisch but go into this part

I think it's called like "View"

[maiden river]

yeah it is

[wintry swallow]

and then you can check "See file extensions"

[hasty thicket]

wait

so i think i did it

i just saved it as a json file

[hushed field]

you'll want to make a cardarea for that, and I think hook the create_card function to check for that type and move them to that specific card area

[wintry swallow]

Also, sorry to pop in but anybody know how I can get my mod to change the sprites in the asset folder while the mod is active?

as in replacing them

[hard flume]

oh okay

[modern kindle]

as in, something happens and then the joker changes its art?

[wintry swallow]

Like a texture pack but only active if the mod is loaded in

[hasty thicket]

What type of file does Lua need to be

[modern kindle]

it needs to be a lua file

[hasty thicket]

I suprise myself with How stupid i am

[wintry swallow]

You're not stupid :<

[hushed field]

lots of computer stuff is pretty vague and obtuse if you haven't done it before nw

[modern kindle]

oh im not confident on texture packs, i couldve assisted if it was just a joker changing itself
my apologies

[hasty thicket]

i def aint smart in computers

I think something's wrong because it's not loading in balatro.

Please help if you can, point out anything I can fix

[maiden river]

the JSON file has to have all its items wrapped in curly brackets

{
  "a" : "b",
  "c" : "d",
}```

[hasty thicket]

does it not have tha?

[maiden river]

nope

[hasty thicket]

the person who sent me the file didn't send brackets bruhhhh

1s

[hasty thicket]

okat

this is the reference

i added the brackets but the top is still red

[maiden river]

you also forgot a closing " near the end

[long sun]

check the line with "version", you're missing- ya that :>

[hasty thicket]

ty

[hasty thicket]

ok

[wintry swallow]

remove dependicies if you don't need any

[hasty thicket]

yay time to test

HERTE WE GO

TEST TIME

its worrks

finally

IM SO HAPPY

IT WORKS

YAY

THANK YOU ALL

[wintry swallow]

<3

[hasty thicket]

imma go find

it

[wintry swallow]

Yippe!!! :3

[modern kindle]

the win button

[hasty thicket]

YES

[hard flume]

Hihi :)
Almost done with all the technical stuff of Worlds.

[hushed field]

I'm trying to find the function that determines which tag is chosen for when you skip a blind, but I can't seem to find it

[hard flume]

Just need to get it in it's card area, then get the actual functionality working

[hushed field]

oh wait nvm the moment I post this I realize I can search the code for min_ante

[quartz ravine]

Awww Waffles!!! What a cute little baby

I would give him my pizza crusts

I found somethign interesting, when using watch shader my card looks amazing and I love it. But it looks different when in the game for real. I am not sure how to see what's different here. @rough furnace , have you run into this

[maiden river]

you know shaders 😭
what a goat
I can't figure them out for the life of me

[hasty thicket]

I HIUS

I DID IT

I DID THE 1000X MULTI

THE MULTI WORKS

i do have an issue

somehow i always create a normal joker whenever I enter the blind with him

[wintry swallow]

WAIT, I think I actually found out how to do it with the sprites, yippe!! :3

[wintry swallow]

did you use any templates?

[hasty thicket]

i used a video

[maiden river]

it's the context.setting_blind part

[wintry swallow]

remove the blind function

[modern kindle]

youre creating him in create_card

[hasty thicket]

i think it might be the local new_card = create_card('Joker'

[modern kindle]

yea

[wintry swallow]

this

[hasty thicket]

okay ty

[wintry swallow]

Guhh, I need to read up on balamod now so I can figure out how injections work q~q

[hasty thicket]

Okay random question

lets say I wanted to add chips below the cat

[hasty thicket]

So how would I do the x1000 Mult with the chips in the code

would i copy most of it and just change the Xmult variables?

[wintry swallow]

different function

let me send something rq

[hasty thicket]

k

[hard flume]

Do you all know how I would go about putting cards in my custom card area? I tried SMODS.add_cards but it didn't work

[wintry swallow]

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

this part I think

[wintry swallow]

@hasty thicket

Tell me if it works

[hasty thicket]

okay i will try thank you

[maiden river]

you have to hook the emplace function
lemme get mine as an example

[hard flume]

Ty!!!

[maiden river]

local emplace_ref = CardArea.emplace
function CardArea:emplace(card, location, stay_flipped)
    if self == G.consumeables and card.ability.set == "Weapon" then
        G.weapons:emplace(card, location, stay_flipped)
        return
    end
    if self == G.consumeables and card.ability.set == "Debuff" then
        G.debuffs:emplace(card, location, stay_flipped)
        card.T.w = card.T.w * 0.5
        card.T.h = card.T.h * 0.5
        return
    end


    emplace_ref(self, card, location, stay_flipped)
end

[hard flume]

ty! then what do i do?

[maiden river]

that should be it, actually
it depends on what type of cards you're making (consumables, jokers, etc)

[verbal wyvern]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } },
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end


        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and not context.blueprint then
            local _count = 0
            
            for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
               if pseudorandom('Freddy') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                    _count = _count + 1
                    G.play.cards[i]:set_debuff(true)
                    
                return {
                    message = 'Debuffed',
                    colour = G.C.MULT,
                    card = context.other_card
                }
                end
            end

        end
    end

}

@hushed field I got this but it keeps debuffing first card with oops all 6s, and only debuffs one card, I want it to have a chance to debuff each card but im having a hard time getting that to work

[hard flume]

where do i put it in the code? do i put it in my card area?

[maiden river]

you should put it in a file separate from everywhere else, ideally
like I have mine in a file called mechanics/weaponslot.lua and I load it with assert(SMODS.load_file("...")) in my mod's main.lua

[hushed field]

it can only ever debuff one card, because the function stops the moment it hits the return statement! But you could just debuff in the individual context, no?

[hasty thicket]

Where would I put the value for chip gain?

[verbal wyvern]

I swapped it to individual but it js stopped working

[hushed field]

I'd assume it may be because you were running into your return statement!

[hard flume]

okay but i dont see how it makes the card go in the custom area, then.

[maiden river]

like
you don't understand how it works?

[verbal wyvern]

So if I just delete the return It should run for each card with Individual right?

[hard flume]

wait no nvm. i get it now.

[maiden river]

nice

[wintry solar]

Stick with before but change your return into SMODS.calculate_effect

[maiden river]

eremel to the rescue

[wintry solar]

Delete all that crap in the return and just put chips = card.ability.extra.chips

[hasty thicket]

lmao 1s

[maiden river]

also you defined two calculate functions?

[wintry solar]

And that

[hasty thicket]

nope

[maiden river]

well you did

[hasty thicket]

i did? he just told me to delte that

welp

brb

[verbal wyvern]

It just crashed 😭

[wintry swallow]

back again

[wintry swallow]

Sorry for not being able to help 😭 No idea how this works myself...

[hasty thicket]

delete both of thos okay

[maiden river]

nono

[hasty thicket]

and just add the if context?

[maiden river]

just delete one

[hasty thicket]

okay 1s

[wintry solar]

Hold on

What is this card supposed to do

[maiden river]

good point

[hasty thicket]

I'm just testing Chip and Mult in one card

mult worked

and now im testing chip and mult

[maiden river]

all you have to do is add chips = to the stuff you're returning

[hasty thicket]

. . .

[maiden river]

so like

return {
  chips = 10,
  xmult = 10
}```

[hasty thicket]

bruhhh

[wintry swallow]

God I feel like such an idiot, I'm sorry waffles

[hasty thicket]

Dude.

I started this 8 hours ago.

I have no background in tech, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

[wintry solar]

Just read the page you were linked if you are interested in calculations

[hasty thicket]

I did but the way they did was right, but hte issue is that the way raevyn showed me isn't on my prompt

Because would be reffering to under the Xmult?

[wintry solar]

Then you didn’t read the page you were linked

[maiden river]

here's the part, for reference

[hasty thicket]

i did read it, thats where i got the other script, I am just confused because I don't know where to properly merge the calculate and atlas function

[wintry solar]

That screenshot isn’t how you should do it and hasn’t been for over two months

[verbal wyvern]

Got it working!! Thanks Ice and Eremel v much

[hasty thicket]

1s

[hard flume]

what would i do if it's a joker?

[maiden river]

just change the part that says G.consumeables to G.jokers

[hard flume]

hmm okay. is card.ability.set where i put the category for it?

[hasty thicket]

I want to make it where there is a chip addition anda base multi, how do I do that side by side? Would I just define the functions as
'{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult', '{X:Chips,C:white}X#1#{} Chips'

[wintry swallow]

Sorry to ask, but anybody know if ingame injections are possible in SMODS like in balamod?

[maiden river]

maybe? I don't know if jokers have different sets like consumables do

[hushed field]

you don't need multiple quotation marks. The brackets just delineate colour, and the text that appears is delineated by the # markers.

[hushed field]

not as far as I'm aware, and replacing the joker set definitely breaks their joker functionality

[paper zealot]

That's what Lovely patches are for

[maiden river]

you simply must be joking

[hushed field]

but it's not difficult to add a subcategory to a joker. I've got a bunch that just have 'is_vampire = true' or 'is_batman = true', as well as a 'genres = {}' list, and that all works pretty well. Just have the function you want to interact with your custom joker subset look for that variable

[wintry swallow]

Oh, sorry. Thank you alot though!! <3

[hard flume]

Don't jokers have compatibility with SMODS.ObjectType, though?

[frosty dock]

they do

[maiden river]

john smods here to save the day

[sonic cedar]

how do you center something like half joker? like im pretty sure it's not supposed to be up there

half joker for reference

[hasty thicket]

check the x and y position and try changing it too 0.25 or 0.5

y would mess with the up and down alignment

[frosty dock]

I think you can use pixel_size for that

[frosty dock]

I would not do this

[hushed field]

Yes, they do! But I don't think you can just replace the set = 'joker' thing they have going on 🤔

[hasty thicket]

okay

[hard flume]

Yeah, so. How would I go about checking what object type it belongs to then?

[sonic cedar]

off to look at pixel_size documentation then

[maiden river]

you could probably check something else

[hasty thicket]

For the both if context functions, would i do end, or keep it at },?

[maiden river]

like maybe you could add something in your effects table to denote those certain jokers

[frosty dock]

you need to combine it into one returned table

[hasty thicket]

can you explain a bit more?

[frosty dock]

unless these shouldn't be using the same context, unlike they currently do

[hasty thicket]

well tldr: i want a 1k chip multi and 1k multi to work on the same joker.

[frosty dock]

return {
  chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
  xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
}

[hasty thicket]

so i would replace that with the other stuff?

gotcha

[frosty dock]

put that in one if block and get rid of the other

[hasty thicket]

k

[hushed field]

card.config.center.[YOUR_CUSTOM_MARKER] == true is what I do to check if jokers are of the batman, vampire or alien abduction subset

[maiden river]

I want to destroy some cards
and I know the {remove = true} thing works in a few contexts, but does it work in all of them?

I've been haunted by ghost cards in the past

pun not intended

[frosty dock]

object types don't have a way to check if a card belongs to it in constant time. If that's all you need to do, markers on centers are perfectly reasonable

[tall wharf]

hello aure how is it going

[frosty dock]

object types are most useful when you need a way to generate a random card of a type

[frosty dock]

it only works in context.destroy_card

[maiden river]

doesn't it work in discard too?

[hasty thicket]

To make the chips a valid currency would i just copy or add to the atlas function?

[frosty dock]

right

but it doesn't automatically work in any context

[hard flume]

Okay. Got it working, but now the card doesn't show up in the custom area for it

[maiden river]

fair enough

so how do you remove cards outside of that?

[hard flume]

As in, it's there but it's not visually there

[frosty dock]

Ideally you don't, as it causes ghost cards

[maiden river]

😒
fair

[frosty dock]

at least if it's during scoring

[maiden river]

oh yeah

I remember now

[next timber]

is it possible make a seal trigger a function when the card is being destroyed? i want to make it create 2 copies of the card

[wintry solar]

Yes

[hasty thicket]

How would I add chips as a valid recognized currency
it'll be added already but I don't know how to make it display on the card, on top of the mult

[tall wharf]

put chips in loc vars

[hasty thicket]

as another return function? or just another vars function

[wintry solar]

I’d recommend going and looking at some well written mods, it seems like you have no idea at all what you’re doing

[hushed field]

a function can only return once, so you never want to have multiple return functions that you want to all return their information

[wintry solar]

Just to get an idea of what the code is supposed to look like

[hasty thicket]

OHHH 10000% but after I do this last thing im done

[hushed field]

btw, Eremel, do I remember correctly that someone was working on additional boss blind features for SMODS? or did I hallucinate

[wintry solar]

Yeah aure is doing calculation stuff

[hushed field]

ah, great. Guess I'll not start work on boss blind stuff then

[wintry solar]

I have custom small and big blinds code in the ortalab private build right now that might be suitable to merge across too

[sonic cedar]

hooray

[tall wharf]

how should one shuffle cards only when a joker is moved

nvm i figured something out

actually

[wintry solar]

Call the shuffle function

[hard flume]

That's so cool actually

[tall wharf]

i don't wanna shuffle every frame so i guess ill hook it to the card

[wintry solar]

You can probably look at the stuff that controls moving the card and detects mouse clicks

[tall wharf]

function Card:stop_drag

i think this works

[wintry solar]

That sounds like the one

[sonic cedar]

read "shuffle every frame" and had flashbacks to beta Thought

[tall wharf]

😭

[hushed field]

moved generally, or moved to a specific position?

[tall wharf]

generally

i think this might just work

[hushed field]

aaah okay

[hushed field]

what are you cooking up? 👀

[tall wharf]

nvm

wron area

[next timber]

sorry but how would i go about doing it? ive just looked through the list of calculate function contexts and i dont think i can see one for a card being *destroyed

[tall wharf]

eyy

[hushed field]

context.pre_discard and context.discard!

[next timber]

sorry i meant destroyed not discarded, just realised 😅

[hushed field]

context.destroying_card if your aim is to mark a card for destruction. context.remove_playing_cards is you're wanting to do something whenever a card is destroyed

[next timber]

awesome, thx

[mellow marsh]

is this the best way to check if another mod is loaded? was previously doing SMODS.Mods['Cryptid'] but that doesnt work correctly i think

[maiden river]

yup!

[mellow marsh]

alright cool

[warped marsh]

Heya, how can I check if a played hand is a club? I have been checking the forms but im struggling to find the way to checkkkk

[hushed field]

if the deck has no valid cards to draw anymore, is context.hand_drawn still entered?

[maiden river]

probably not
I mean, if you don't have any more cards to draw you either win the blind or lose the run at that point

[stiff locust]

anyone know why this code wouldn't be working? it used to work but it was broken by recent smods update. Should be adding +1 pack choice to tarot and planet packs.

if context.open_booster then
  if G.GAME.pack_choices and (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE ==  G.STATES.PLANET_PACK) then
                G.GAME.pack_choices = G.GAME.pack_choices + 1
            end
end

[hasty thicket]

I can't really find anything relating to adding mult and chips functions together

[hasty thicket]

(posting the image bc its wrong thats why)

[hushed field]

my mod adds some negative modifiers, so discarding even if it doesn't draw you cards can definitely happen. I'm also just wanting to be sure with blinds like The Hook, and just general future proofing

[maiden river]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua check line 310

well check around line 310 anyways

[maiden river]

I see

[hasty thicket]

k

[maiden river]

well I think that context only triggers when there are cards actually being drawn

[tall wharf]

another logic rewrite

[hushed field]

hmm, I guess I could change up my logic and not check the hand consistently, but instead check the cards drawn or discarded

no wait, that'd not allow for death

[maiden river]

what are you actually trying to do

I'm curious

[hushed field]

Oh yeah, I never said huh.

Lucky Number Slevin
Increase odds by 1 for each 7 you are holding in hand

[ionic verge]

i am wonderinf why this isnt returning a flush six, which i have defined presumably correctly (searching for a six long flush and six cards of the same rank)

any thoughts?

[maiden river]

oh I see
and you want a context to check whether there are more sevens or not
makes sense

[hushed field]

yes. I'd do it generally, but I'm not sure how I'd go about cleanly changing the odds when there are other odds-altering jokers in play

[ionic verge]

whats really weird is that every hand before this has worked just fine

[maiden river]

I'm not too sure either

[hushed field]

The odds system wasn't made to be messed with too much, haha. I might put this one on hold again

I'm at the part of my design doc where every joker is either a conceptual misfire or a programming challenge, so I'm just trying whatever, haha

I've given up on the Tenet joker too, at this point, too much of a nightmare to figure out how I'd do that intended effect

[ionic verge]

uh

ill. delete that rq

[maiden river]

same 😭
it's mainly my lack of shader experience holding me back rn

[hushed field]

i need a talented and clever person to make an extension that allows me to just make a shader in unity and port it to balatro with no changes to the code because shaders are wizardry to me

[green mica]

I'm trying to make a custom enhancement and I thought I could use replace_base_card since the documentation says it won't draw the base card sprite or give base chips, but it seems like it straight up prevents it from scoring at all even if the enchancement gives bonus or mult

[sonic cedar]

does card:set_ability trigger the remove_from_deck context?

[tall wharf]

wdym wizardry

[sonic cedar]

edition badge

[maiden river]

aiko I think you are officially The Wizard
you don't count

[tall wharf]

no i am not

[sonic cedar]

[tall wharf]

no

[maiden river]

you do like
everything 😭

[tall wharf]

😭 no???

[warped marsh]

im having 2 problems, firstly the game crashes and then also, the values appear as NIL in the discription :> sorry if its a simple problem and im dumb

[vast fractal]

im trying to make a test enhancement but the atlas is not rendering my own texture pack

[tall wharf]

context.other_card({ suit = 'Clubs' }) isn't a function?

[tall wharf]

you misspelled atlas

[rain slate]

How is context.check_enhancement supposed to work? This doesn't seem to do anything. ```lua
if context.check_enhancement then
local key = context.other_card.config.center.key

if key == "m_steel" or key == "m_gold" then
return {
m_steel = true,
m_gold = true
}
end
end

[sonic cedar]

you got to it first

[vast fractal]

my god 😭

[warped marsh]

is there a place where can i check these functions? i just want to check if current hand is clubs

if not then, it wont trigger

[tall wharf]

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

[warped marsh]

gatto

mrow

[tall wharf]

other_card is table 😭

[warped marsh]

ah boloks

[tall wharf]

of course it crashes when you are trying to call it as a function

😭

[warped marsh]

we are a little silly

[rain slate]

?

[hushed field]

are you using quantum enhancements?

[rain slate]

idk what those are

[hushed field]

I'm not entirely sure, but I think that context is limited to the optional quantum enhancement feature

what are you trying to do with that code?

[rain slate]

I see

[rain slate]

I wanna make it treat gold cards and steel cards the same, and give the bonus for both

I think I could ofc just give $3 when it's steel and X1.5 when it's gold but that seems a bit jank

and Jokers like the Steel Joker wouldn't work on gold cards in that instance

[hasty thicket]

Firgured out the currency issue but its not display properly

The mult is display while the chips is not.

[rain slate]

you forgot a } after {C:chips

[hasty thicket]

TY

[hushed field]

In this case you could definitely do SMODS.has_enhancement(TARGET, ENHANCEMENT) in context.individual for and return on the joker. If you have more effect Ideas that are like that, and are comfortable in reading code, maybe check the optional quantum enhancement feature, though, because that does that in a bunch of different moments

[hasty thicket]

finally

[rain slate]

I'd put those chips on the same line as the mult

[hasty thicket]

i messed up...

I DID X MULTI AND NO ADDITIVE MULTI

As

[rain slate]

I'm not sure what you mean by that, could you elaborate?

I can read code as I've been programming for 5 years, but I'm not that familiar with Balatro modding yet

I think I might need to do patches or something like that for this feature, as a lot of Balatro code seems to just check stuff directly

[wintry solar]

Your code will work fine if you enable the quantum enhancements optional feature

[rain slate]

I'll check that out then

[lost fern]

Hellor so Ive looked through the documentation on SMODS.DrawStep and searched the channel and still havent found how to draw a texture with SMODS.DrawStep? Im trying to draw a texture on a card when it has an edition instead of a shader, and was thinking I can use SMODS.DrawStep somehow to do that.

[rain slate]

how do I enable this feature?

oh wait sorry that was ur message

I didn't read

[rugged star]

is there a context for a hand leveling up?

[sonic cedar]

how do i have an effect trigger on discard?

[rugged star]

context.discard if it needs to execute when a card is discarded, context.pre_discard if just when a discard is used

[modern kindle]

just in case it got lost in the abyss of discord message requests, i shot you a dm @hushed field regarding your 7s

[hard flume]

I have so many ideas

[lost fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/lsp_def/utils.lua I think it would be in here?

[frosty dock]

is it not cardareas?

[wintry solar]

It could be

[frosty dock]

it is

[wintry solar]

I will update this then

[rugged star]

context.using_consumable and checking that a planet is being used would technically work, but it wouldn't apply for The Arm and Space Joker, for example

[wintry solar]

I don’t think I added a level up context yet

[sonic cedar]

thank you!

just tested and for some reason, my calculate function isnt working?
the card transformation is supposed to trigger after i discard a card

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.pre_discard and to_big(card.ability.extra.discard_size) > to_big(1) and to_big(card.ability.extra.hand_size) > to_big(1) then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["j_hpfx_ijiraq"])
                    play_sound("card1")
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
        end
    end
}

[tall wharf]

LET'S GO

[sonic cedar]

[tall wharf]

priorities are now respected

[sonic cedar]

how do you feel

[tall wharf]

feel smart actually

[sonic cedar]

heck yeah

[tall wharf]

new challenge unlocked??

[sullen fern]

is it easy to create a custom poker hand

[tall wharf]

somewhat

[sullen fern]

hm...

though this is for spectrum five

which is an extention of spectrum

[sonic cedar]

ooo wow

[warped marsh]

is there a fast way to reboot to game with debugger because i cant be bothered to open and close the game to test stuff out

[paper zealot]

Ⓜ️

[warped marsh]

thank you

[paper zealot]

Might need to hold it for a second

[sonic cedar]

gonna try it again with context.discard

[warped marsh]

yes yes it worked

[lost fern]

Might there be a fashion by which I can add a "joker" but just the atlas and atlas position part, so I can reference it in the func(card) part of DrawStep?

trying to use this to draw a texture using an edition, I might be stupid but oh well

[lost oar]

Hey, how can I make context.destroy_card trigger on held in hand cards? I'm trying to write a Seal with retriggers that may destroy on use, including when it is held in hand, but using destroy_card only seems to work when card is played

[sonic cedar]

have you tried full_hand

[frosty dock]

context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.hand

[next timber]

what are some mods with a good range of content that i can look through the code of to see how things are done? trying to see how to make a tarot card add a seal

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/SealExample

[next timber]

oh yeah the seal example has one lol

but for general use with other functions, are there any good mods for learning from the code of?

[sonic cedar]

i don’t know any off the top of my head

i know looking at base game is good for some things

despite the coding

[tall wharf]

toma

[sonic cedar]

aiko

[lost oar]

mb, i was using destroying_card

[frosty dock]

thought so

[sonic cedar]

that negative looks super cursed

[tall wharf]

ikr

[sonic cedar]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.pre_discard and context.cardarea == G.play then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["j_hpfx_ijiraq"])
                    play_sound("card1")
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
        end
    end
}

updated with the discard stuff, still doesnt work
anyone have any ideas

(the Event Manager sequence is for the transformation)

[sonic cedar]

does it work though 😈

[sullen fern]

fuck...

[chrome widget]

Need help from someone with a little more SMODS knowledge. I added this context eval in G.FUNCS.evaluate_roundin order to trigger vouchers at the end of a round, similar to how anaglyph adds a Double Tag at end of round

    sendDebugMessage('calling for vouchers')
    local eval, post = eval_card(G.vouchers.cards[i], {cardarea = G.vouchers, end_of_round = true})
    SMODS.trigger_effects({eval, post}, G.vouchers.cards[i])
end```

Similarly, I've added this little hook for eval_card to call a calculate_voucher function, which is just basically the same as most of the other calculate functions (I.E. looks for a calculate function on the object and returns if it has one)

```local ref_eval_card = eval_card
function eval_card(card, context)
    local ret, post_trig = ref_eval_card(card, context)

    if card.ability.set == 'Voucher' then 
        local voucher = card:calculate_voucher(context)
        if voucher then
            ret.voucher = voucher
        end
    end

    return ret, post_trig
end```

And it all works, except... for some reason the code to add the tag is called twice?

[sullen fern]

of course, i only have to do the main puyo chain and puyo rainbow hands

because i can just call them in parts

[tall wharf]

yes

[dense vector]

Oh I see now how it could be annoying

[tall wharf]

[dense vector]

But a four of a kind aces right off the bat seems kinda good

[tall wharf]

pushed the challenge

@lyric wadi please stop flushing

😭

[lyric wadi]

fake

how does it work tho

[tall wharf]

it just gives priority to certain cards when shuffling

[lyric wadi]

yeah but how

[tall wharf]

oh btw it also works in this screen

so close to straight flush 💔

[modern kindle]

Easy, just make a joker that can only draw straight flushes then you'll get it :)

[lyric wadi]

wow that's actually crazy

good for like buffing the same nine cards

[tall wharf]

the problem is

it cycles

😭

[lyric wadi]

hec

is that an eiditon

if only i have any idea for modded edition

that doesnt get a "that's just cryptid x bro"

[modern kindle]

Everything is cryptid
Just do it anyway

[sullen fern]

of course, if i want all these to actually work, i'm gonna have to do the parts

[lyric wadi]

i wanna make a joker idea real

but that would involves doing fucky things with every hand detection

and that is like way outside my modding grade

[dreamy thunder]

well we all start somewhere ig

[tall wharf]

what are we thinking

[lyric wadi]

i want to go bigger than where i am but also i am kinda hinged on not going too big

with like the entire premise of my mod

oh the end button

is tht from this mod or some other one

[tall wharf]

NotJustYet

[lyric wadi]

thanks

also yeah that's nice

is it just always those four specific traits

or does it choose a random 4 out of a bigger pool

[tall wharf]

4 specific traits

cycling which one gets to be first

[lyric wadi]

mm

[hard flume]

I'm not sure why my card is vanishing tbh

[lyric wadi]

straight rainbow is an oxymoron

[strong jacinth]

Wher eis my card area?

[lyric wadi]

wich one

like your hand or

[sonic cedar]

got home and that ping had me excited
curse you
but also yay it works

[lyric wadi]

okay chat im gonna ask

[tall wharf]

wdym excited

[lyric wadi]

hypothetically

[sonic cedar]

been tryingg to get an answer on this discard trigger

[lyric wadi]

if i want to implement a Wild Rank card, what would be the best angle

like do i hook the vanilla hand code

[strong jacinth]

I got distracted,

[tall wharf]

oh.

[sullen fern]

now comes the part where i actually have to impliment the hands

[lyric wadi]

or do i just add dupe hands that account for a Wild Rank and make it so they dont show up on the hand listing

holy ui

[sullen fern]

SMODS.PokerHandPart

[tall wharf]

card area defaults to being a deck btw

have you tried

[sullen fern]

this should be easy, right?

[tall wharf]

adding the card to the card area

[strong jacinth]

'the card'? Do you mean a card?

[chrome widget]

This is giving me a headache, I genuinely don't know why this code is running twice 😭

[tall wharf]

what is running twice

[tall wharf]

a card

[chrome widget]

Trying to make a voucher give a negative tag at the end of the round. For some reason it calls the calculate function with this specific context twice... for reasons completely beyond me

[strong jacinth]

I can do that in my tab definition function right?

[frosty dock]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[chrome widget]

As in, add main_eval to the context when it's sent, or just check for it?

[chrome widget]

This is the setup I have right now

[frosty dock]

oh i did not see that

you don't need to do that

steamodded already calculates vouchers

[chrome widget]

Which part is not needed?

[frosty dock]

the part where you add a context

[sullen fern]

looking at this

hm

[chrome widget]

Hm

[frosty dock]

you can just use what steamodded provides

[sullen fern]

i know that it accounts for wild cards

[chrome widget]

Well, I don't know how I missed that it says it supports a calculate function in the docs, I was looking through something and thought it wasn't a default behavior

[sullen fern]

which is probably what both of my hands should do too

[hard flume]

Does anyone know why my card is disappearing when it's added to my custom card area

[strong jacinth]

Yeah

[sullen fern]

i could reasonably just take this and modify it to my liking

[chrome widget]

Hm

Removing all my code for this results in it not working entirely

[frosty dock]

what's your context check looking like

[tall wharf]

i think you're meant to put the calculate function in the voucher code

[chrome widget]

if context.cardarea == G.vouchers and context.end_of_round then

[frosty dock]

that's... not what i said

[chrome widget]

Then can you clarify?

[frosty dock]

.

[sullen fern]

right now this is just using the spectrum code
i need to account for the puyo suits

[tall wharf]

it's 3am

[sonic cedar]

it’s actually 4 pm

[tall wharf]

aure have you taken the driving exam yet or I'm misremembering

[sullen fern]

puyo chain needs to account for the same puyo suit and puyo rainbow needs to account for five different puyo suits

[chrome widget]

You send that when I was still under the impression that I needed to add the context myself, and I never sent main_eval with my own context. You need to clarify if and how you want me to use something rather than just expect me to interpet it. Do the voucher contexts not send in the voucher area in context.cardarea?

[frosty dock]

no i did. i failed smh, will get to try again in 2 weeks

[tall wharf]

😭

manual gearshift exam?

[frosty dock]

nah, but i wasn't having a great day

[tall wharf]

ah

alright

can you keep retaking it as long as you have money to pay for the exam

[chrome widget]

Hm. Still not receiving any response on this calculate function, regardless of any checks. Weird

[tall wharf]

sometimes features are missing on old steamodded version

[chrome widget]

Might be because I just loaded the game at end of round

[modern kindle]

I know in my area it's a max of 3x a year

[frosty dock]

I think SMODS.calculate_context always sends G.jokers for those areas, not sure why though

[chrome widget]

Yep, there it is. Cool

[chrome widget]

Strange. If it doesn't break anything I don't exactly mind

[frosty dock]

For my part, when I sent that I was not aware that you were trying to add your own context

[chrome widget]

That's fair. Now I just have to figure out timing. No idea if this is the exact same timing as anaglyph would have

Ideally? It adds after the anaglyph double

[sullen fern]

how am i meant to account for all 12 different puyo suits

[frosty dock]

that happens as you enter the cash out screen, so end of round effects happen earlier

[sullen fern]

because the two puyo related hands need to work with all of them at once

no matter the rarity

[frosty dock]

are they supposed to do anything special that other suits don't?

[frosty dock]

there's currently no context that does this, but i could see it being added

[chrome widget]

So am I actually going to have to manually add the context again?

[sullen fern]

no i just want to have unique puyo related hands

which now that i'm thinking about it

why AM i making unique hands specifically for the puyo suits?

[frosty dock]

wait so does it need to consist of only the puyo suits?

[sullen fern]

yeah

[turbid maple]

do your puyo cards pop if you play the same suits together

[sullen fern]

there is a joker that will do that

[frosty dock]

you'd want to add a condition to this line then

[chrome widget]

Okay yep, it works. I think the double issue before was simply me adding the calculate_voucher function for lack of being able to find an equvalent in code

But the actual eval_card() I sent was fine, I just changed it to cash_out

[frosty dock]

like if (SMODS.Suits[v].mod or {}).id == 'your_mod_id' then suits[v] = 0 end or checking for some flag you add on the suit objects

[tall wharf]

"if you play 4 of the same puyo cards destroy them and add 2 random puyo playing cards to your deck"

[sullen fern]

i would specifically add two nuisance puyo suit cards

[tall wharf]

i mean you're not playing against anyone

[sullen fern]

it's the thought that counts

but yeah

[tall wharf]

i think 2 of random coloured puyo and 2 garbage suit

idk how useful that will be but

yeah

[sullen fern]

i would probably want to exclude rare suits from being chosen

[tall wharf]

i mean sure yeah

[sullen fern]

rare suits being chu, teal, sun, iron, big, and bomb

the suit jokers for them give +3 more mult for those suits than the common ones

[green mica]

anyone know where in the base game code the chips for a playing card are added to the score? I'm trying to find where to hook

[strong jacinth]

My bios is corrupt 🤣

[sullen fern]

what did balatro do to your bios

[strong jacinth]

idk, probably not balatro

[tall wharf]

Chain
if you draw 4 cards with the same coloured puyo suit discard all of those 5 cards then add 2 garbage suit to your deck and draw it to hand. number increases by 2 the more sets of 4 cars you draw

idk what I'm cooking

[sullen fern]

where would i put that

[frosty dock]

oops i never replied to this. technically yes, though the theoretical exam is only valid for a year

[tall wharf]

ah

so you'll have to take theoretical if that expires

[strong jacinth]

What do you exactly mean by this?

[frosty dock]

in place of the line i put a red box around

[sullen fern]

Chain
When 4 or more cards of a Puyo suit are played, destroy them and add two random Common Puyo suit cards, and two Nuisance Puyo suit cards to your deck.

[tall wharf]

do they call the garbage nuisance

[sullen fern]

i've heard either garbage puyo or nuisance puyo be used

[tall wharf]

i call it garbage

[sullen fern]

https://puyonexus.com/wiki/Nuisance_queue

i call them nuisance puyos beacuse of the nuisance queue

actually i think i should move this to puyo rainbow's code since that is for five different puyo types and not five of the same type

[hard flume]

I'm still trying to figure out why my card has the invisible gene

[frosty dock]

obviously replace your_mod_id with your mod id 😭

[tall wharf]

wdym by puyo having balatro

[sullen fern]

so this should work as intended

[strong jacinth]

-# (Bump)

[tall wharf]

you need to use the room thing I don't know what it says but like

[sullen fern]

so if i do this

[tall wharf]

if you said it to that it will just show up some way you don't expect

[formal parrot]

HELLO

[strong jacinth]

Room thing?

[tall wharf]

G.ROOM or something like that

i don't remember

[hard flume]

does anyone know what might be causing this code to turn my cards invisible?

[strong jacinth]

When i place the card? Or like in the card area?

[tall wharf]

Carfi_Worlds isn't a valid Cardarea type if you haven't added it

[chrome widget]

I regularly get these two errors when I reload games while doing mod troubleshooting, but they don't seem to cause anything bad to happen?

[tall wharf]

when you create the card area

[faint plank]

is there a way i can check when a booster pack is finished and not skipped?

[frosty dock]

these are vanilla logs

they don't do jack shit

[hard flume]

Oh. I don't know what card area types are. I thought it meant like. Sets or object types

[sullen fern]

it doesn't work?

[tall wharf]

feel free to look in the game's source code

[chrome widget]

Good to know
