if you're using steamodded the steamodded wiki is a good place to start.

[frosty dock]

soul_rate is meant to be used for rare cards like the soul that have a chance to replace any card of a given set in booster packs

[north brook]

I was looking to make some of the consumables from some mods rarer

[cyan dune]

Ah... is there another way to change the likelihood of seeing certain cards in a booster pack?

Oh, shoot. I just realized this probably only affects booster packs.

[north brook]

hmm

[formal parrot]

John aura

[frosty dock]

cards affected by soul_rate are "hidden" and can't be found outside of booster packs

if you want rarities, you'd have to add rarities to a consumable type

[glacial bloom]

Does someone have some simple code that I could look at for reference to help me when creating my own mod? I’m just now getting into coding

[frosty dock]

that includes assigning a rarity to every consumable of that type

[frosty dock]

when will you stop 😭

[north brook]

tbh find a simple mod and skim through that. or the steammodded wiki is probably good too

[north brook]

so barring that, there's no realistic way to change how often a specific card spawns? damn.

[rapid stag]

sanity check: is discovered a valid boolean i can expect to find inside a joker's table?
like this isn't the exact structure, but something like card.discovered

[formal parrot]

When you tell me to

[stiff locust]

yeah but if you wanna know if a joker is discovered you need to check the save file instead i'm pretty sure

the discovered boolean in a joker only defines if it is discovered by default or not

[frosty dock]

without rarities, there is no middle ground between the default rate and only being able to spawn in booster packs at a fixed rate

this is due to pools not being weighted

[north brook]

damn

[frosty dock]

please stop calling me john aura

[glad osprey]

ok aura smods

[cyan dune]

Agh, I'm real sorry this turned out to be a dead end...

[plush cove]

john skibidi

[stiff locust]

i think there is a way to do something similar though

[rapid stag]

well i'm asking for a patch of generate_card_ui()
how can i check the save file to see if the joker is discovered

nvm, i can just check against card_type in that function

[stiff locust]

SDM0's stuff has a deck that makes his modded jokers appear more often

surely you can do the inverse?

[paper zealot]

Is it pronounced "S-mods", or "Smods"? 🤔

[north brook]

nah you're good man, we tried lmao

[stiff locust]

S-mods

ssmods sounds like a food

like smores

[plush cove]

laurel

[stiff locust]

but stupid

[glad osprey]

no it's clearly white and gold

[plush cove]

it might actually be green needle

[stiff locust]

i'm movin the needle

[formal parrot]

Okay john

[frosty dock]

another thing which is simpler than giving rarities to every card of a type would be to have separate consumable types, they would have controllable shop rates

however booster packs would have to explicitly combine them at some ratio

[small moon]

How is it done with Jokers? When a Joker destroys a card in the played hand what's the logic flow look like for that?

Is there an example somewhere?

[wintry solar]

each card in the played hand is checked by every joker and by itself to see whether it should be destroyed

[zealous glen]

Whoa

[crimson marlin]

I know there is "press_play(self)" but what do i use for discards?

[scarlet spire]

ooh is the shader modified?

looks really good

[merry raven]

I can only wish I can draw this well

[glad osprey]

how do i check if every card in the deck is identical

[next timber]

if you figure out destroying cards in seals lemme know cause i am also trying and failing lol

[glad osprey]

im trying to check each cards ability table with the first one but that isnt working

[gentle rain]

im barley into coding for this game (or at all) but can there be line breaks in the title of cards

asking for this

i can 100% shorten it to PetroDraconic Apocalypse but i want the bit in so bad

the reference

[chrome widget]

What's the most effective way to start to implement unlock conditions? You basically just define check_for_unlock() functions on the joker and return true if you want it to be unlocked? My only curiousity is when check_for_unlocked() is fired, because I see a bunch of instances where vanilla code manually sends an argument for the unlock from somewhere, but I'd rather it be relatively standalone

Also, does locked_loc_vars and the locked card description target a specific key different from the main one?

Oop, I see it. "unlock"

[zealous glen]

not in vanilla but you could mod it in

[zealous glen]

idk I think Bunco does it tho

[crimson marlin]

I know there is "press_play(self)" but what do i use for discards?

[chrome widget]

Welp, it seemed to work!!

[zealous glen]

idk but I do know there's a discard_cards_from_highlighted

and I imagine the discard equivalent calls that function

[tawdry coyote]

Does anyone know the function for destroying a random joker card?

[chrome widget]

Is there any functional difference between G.P_CENTERS and SMODS.Centers?

[normal crest]

SMODS.Centers doesn't have vanilla centers

[chrome widget]

But does G.P_CENTERS have all modded centers?

[unkempt thicket]

Are there contexts for before held in hand cards trigger and after?

[pearl jacinth]

i'm using 3 celestial objects in my mod but i'm not sure if they've been used in another mod

they are heliosphere, hills cloud, and oort cloud

[chrome widget]

Do playing cards have these suit/rank strings as keys somewhere on their tables (this is from the Poker Hand example), or do I have to construct them manually from suit and rank?

Hmm... I'll probably have to construct it anyway to make sure I account for editions/enhancements/seals as well too

[tawdry coyote]

How to make a random Joker be discarded by a modded joker

[minor furnace]

So, the Negative edition doesn't simple invert the colors, does it?

[hardy viper]

resources/shaders/negative

idk how to read shaders

but it looks like it does a lil more

[minor furnace]

ah

man then I need to figure out how to apply that shader manually

I wanted to make an inverted version of Photograph that actually matched the Negative shader, but that seems beyond my current skillset, so I'll just stick with inverting the colors

[green mica]

Is there a way I could add chips or mult with a consumable or is that stupid?

Trying to think about how it would work

[chrome widget]

Doing a color negative is close enough in combination with the negative shader. AFAIK the reason why Negative isn't a direct inverse is to avoid how often inverted joker makeup (becoming black instead of white with emphasized lips) vaguely looks like blackface caricatures

I did a negative swap for a joker to do this effect with it being a negative, because part of the effect involves swapping its edition to negative for a portion. The last one is what the negative sprite actually looks like

Like yeah the colors aren't exact, but white for example is basically a direct inverse, and the other colors get close, aside from the negative lamppost being more yellow than the original green, and the yellow staying bluish

[unkempt thicket]

Are there contexts for before held in hand cards trigger and after?

[unkempt thicket]

Doing what hiker does should work

[granite turret]

i peek in here and immediately see comedy

[green mica]

I meant more like directly adding to the score but since you would be using the consumable outside of calculation that probably doesn't make sense

[unkempt thicket]

I think that's possible in some capacity.

[finite zinc]

is there a context for on hand level up? trying to see if i can mod something in that like doubles the effect of planet cards basically

[gentle rain]

okay there can be comedy in a serious effect let me LIVE my psychic powers throw the furniture around

[granite turret]

fair... :3
truth be told, i think it'd be funnier if it was one line

[gentle rain]

itd be funnier but also i think more annoying than one large block? might be less annoying iunno

much to be considered,,,,, will be asking the boys in the lab about this

[solar eagle]

is there a way for a joker to check if it's in your joker build? and not in the collection tab/a joker pack etc

actually, wait i know how

add to deck/remove from deck

manually flag it

[plush cove]

if card.area == G.jokers

(possibly not 100% accurate, but you get the picture)

[solar eagle]

is it possible to check if other mods are installed?

looked but didnt see anything in docs

[unkempt thicket]

Yes, example:if (SMODS.Mods["CardSleeves"] or {}).can_load then

[maiden river]

next(SMODS.find_mod('mod_name'))

[earnest stratus]

Hey all, looking for some guidance. I'm trying to add new decks with my mod and have some things I need to test out. I was finally able to get the game to recognize that my mod is active but the decks aren't showing up. I have them in a file deck.lua, what do I need to put in my main.lua to register them in the game? Thanks in advance

[topaz monolith]

At the top of your main.lua, you would insert the below function so that it loads that file. Works as well for other items, just change the path to the corresponding .lua file

assert(SMODS.load_file('items/deck.lua'))()

[earnest stratus]

Thanks, I'm still not seeing my decks added to the collection so I assume there must be something wrong with deck.lua

?

[topaz monolith]

Is your deck.lua code correct? Usually, if something is wrong with a line from that file, it usually just stop loading that file altogether, making the rest of the file not load.

A screenshot of the code can also allow us to help out as well

[solar eagle]

target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'
this is the proper lovely syntax to inject into another mod correct?

[fickle stag]

omg hi

[solar eagle]

what the flip

[fickle stag]

:D

[placid frigate]

how do I publish my mod in the server

I have it on github

[fickle stag]

how do I debug crashes

the mod i'm trying just crashes with _f

[unkempt thicket]

Are there contexts for before held in hand cards trigger and after(at the end of rounc)?

[solar eagle]

the second one is context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers

the first one is context.before and context.cardarea == G.jokers, i Think. this will take place before any scoring at all

[tall wharf]

how would i go rendering shaders on the UI

for example i want to have fire on my hardcore challenge UI

[topaz monolith]

Anyone have a fully in depth, step by step, way to create a booster pack and add my custom jokers into the pack? Looked through the wiki and kinda got fully stumped, especially when looking at other mods that add packs for example and most are doing consumables only

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make this trigger the end of round enhancements as well? I know how to but i need a context to set the vaules back as well.

[vocal cedar]

what mod?

[reef belfry]

just started modding today.... is this even possible to do.

[tall wharf]

yes

[vast fractal]

how to make the tooltip properly?

[tall wharf]

capital O in Other

[tall wharf]

that's not how you do it

you're supposed to put this in localization file

[vast fractal]

😭

it works now

[tall wharf]

i changed it

[sturdy compass]

Can’t have shit in detroit

[rose dragon]

what is half-life?

are all jonklers perishable and expire in half the time?

[tall wharf]

hardcore challenges

[rapid stag]

is there a way i can like, reassign the tags at the end of a vanilla planet card's tooltip? like for example, dwarf planet on pluto

[rose dragon]

make challenge where all playing cards are debuffed as if you're always playing verdant leaf

chicot is also debuffed

[tall wharf]

        set_card_type_badge = function(self, card, badges)
            badges[1] = create_badge(localize('k_akyrs_constellation'), get_type_colour(self or card.config, card), nil, 1.2)
        end,

ok i buffed the hibana to be hardcore

[reef belfry]

my brain is fried tryna make something without prior knowledge of lua 💔

[tall wharf]

did you put it in loc_vars

[rapid stag]

let's say i wanted to replace earth's k_planet badge with k_planet_q, how would i do that

[reef belfry]

i just deleted that part of the code cuz i dont even know how to make it retrigger in the first place

[tall wharf]

you change the k_akyrs_constellation to your key

[reef belfry]

i cant really find a good guide for making mods online

[topaz monolith]

bump

[tall wharf]

time to violently explode

[rapid stag]

...wait, how do i refer to the card

[tall wharf]

:3

what do u wanna do

[rapid stag]

i am basically painting over all the planet cards with other things
and basically beneath the curtain, i want to change the "planet?" label at the bottom of planet x's tooltip, as well as the "dwarf planet" label under pluto, ceres and eris to the standard "planet" label
& change neptune's "planet" label to the "dwarf planet" label
does that make sense

[tall wharf]

you'll have to take ownership

[rapid stag]

thought i might. what do i do once i've done that

[tall wharf]

you set card type badge in take ownership i believe

[rapid stag]

...i see .

[tall wharf]

im trying to add emojis to balala

[rapid stag]

so set_card_type_badge() is a normal function inside card? or

[tall wharf]

pretty much

[reef belfry]

how do you make a canio that targets a specific enhancement rather than face cards

[scarlet spire]

pretty sure you can just overwrite vanilla strings by redefining them in your own localization files?

so that'd be
k_dwarf_planet="Dwarf Planet",
and
k_planet_q="Planet?",

[rapid stag]

yes. but i am trying to change what has what k_ thing

[scarlet spire]

ah, okay then yeah in that case taking ownership makes more sense

[rapid stag]

...SMODS.Consumable returns the created consumable, right?

[vocal cedar]

can someone explain the whole "take ownership" of a joker thing? If i start with SMODS.Joker, and say i wanted to change the functionality of Canio to make him ^MULT, how would I go about this?

not the ^MULT thing, ill grab that from cryptd, somehow

just the

take ownership of our dear white jester

[rapid stag]

one sec

oh sick

hey sorry i haven't been able to help im doing some exam

[rapid stag]

all good

[vast fractal]

peak exam items

[tall wharf]

ok back to codinmg

[rapid stag]

...didn't work

[tall wharf]

i think it's c_neptune

[rapid stag]

wiki says class prefix isn't required though i'll try it, but

[tall wharf]

i dunno

i actually do not know that much about take ownership

AFGJKBNASDG

[rapid stag]

i see do you know how to change the colour that {C:planet} is

[tall wharf]

i certainly do not 😔

WTF IT WORKS

the UI

[primal robin]

What is this

[tall wharf]

difficulty for the challenge

[primal robin]

Looks like more I hold this idea, the worse situation become https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1327631393857208382

[tall wharf]

😭

[tall wharf]

I AM SORRY

IT STARTED FROM @manic rune SAYING MY CHALLENGES ARE TOO EASY

[primal robin]

Stakes: exists

[tall wharf]

yea but

close

[primal robin]

Btw for this mod I was planning make a SCROLLBAR

[tall wharf]

too tall...

let's go

[reef belfry]

comically complicated ability

[primal robin]

Damn, if tanke into account that developing mod for "more controls" takes so much time, how much time I need to make basically API mod for this big chunk of game where single available way to do something is apply patch

[tall wharf]

😭

[primal robin]

Also in my plans was make smth like OST manager, basically Trance mod but for music

[tall wharf]

@primal robin I'm sorry for breaking your idea entirely

[vast fractal]

how to localize this properly

[tall wharf]

bl_modprefix_distorted_fate

[strong jacinth]

If I have my cardarea: local a = CardArea(1, 1, 2, 3)
What does the 1, 1 do?

[tall wharf]

x y of the area

[strong jacinth]

So position?

[tall wharf]

yes

[vast fractal]

its still error for some reason

[plush cove]

you dont need to set it in loc_vars

you set the key in the actual blind itself

[tall wharf]

what's the key of the bling

also yes you don't need loc vars for this

[vast fractal]

so it be bl_modprefix_keyblind?

[tall wharf]

like what did you set as the key

[vast fractal]

i mispelled the key 😭

i need to stop myself being dyslexic

[hushed field]

cat on the keyboard ❤️

the line G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1 shows up a lot in the code, but I haven't really been able to spot it's use. What functions use the information stored in G.playing_card?

oh the copy card function, of course

[next timber]

damn i gotta scrap the black hole seal cause it just makes ghost cards 😔

[hushed field]

what's the intended effect?

[next timber]

if played, after scoring, destroy other scored cards and add their values to the black hole card's

[hushed field]

Oh, that's pretty doable, I reckon. I assume seal logic works similar to enhancements (I haven't touched seals yet), but you can check out the way I've implemented demonic cards! Those sacrifice all non-demonic cards in a scoring hand

[next timber]

ooh will do

ive seen people here say its not possible without patching or whatever

[hushed field]

I think the code for that is just in the demonic.lua for the enhancement, and in the lovely.toml for the patch

[next timber]

ah yea

[hushed field]

Well I definitely use a small patch, haha

[next timber]

i dont quite understand patching but i will give it a shot

[hushed field]

The patch you need to do for this is going to be really small, so i wouldn't worry too much about it! It's the level of patch that's probably a good introduction to it 😄

[next timber]

i hope i manage to get it implemented, i'd hate to scrap the poverty card lmao

[hushed field]

It's entirely doable, you'll definitely manage!

[next timber]

ok so im looking through the lovely.toml and what im getting is, target, pattern and position decide where the code is added in, and then payload is the actual code you insert

this seems simple

ish

[hushed field]

Destruction logic was a bit confusing to me at first, but it makes a lot of sense once you realize that you basically only want to destroy cards through contexts, and never call card:dissolve() yourself

yes. If you want, you can try to just patch in some debug or print statements, just to see how it works

the lovely dump contains the code with all patches included, so you can also check there if you're code isn't doing what you're expecting it to do

[next timber]

though now i need to consider what will actually happen if multiple black hole cards are played together

do they just collapse and destroy the entire hand for absolutely no benefit? lmao

i assume for detecting a seal it would be something like SMODS.has_seal(card, 's_boplatro_blackhole')?

[hushed field]

I haven't done anything with seals, but if that function is in the documentation, then I assume so, yes

[loud meteor]

how do i make a mod that customises the starting deck? ive copied the absolute deck example but it doesnt seem to work

[next timber]

in all honsty i kinda just assumed that if it has a has_enhancement() itll probably have one for seals

[wintry solar]

It doesn’t

Enhancements only have that for quantum enhancements

[next timber]

ah

oh i think i can just do card.seal?

[vocal cedar]

can someone send me the 2x base balatro folder? i lost the original and i really need a fresh one and steams verify files thing aint workin

nvm

im dumb

7zip was open lol

[hushed field]

should a joker that reads 'you cannot draw cards' overrule or be overruled by the serpents effect?

the words never and always are in a bit of a stalemate, so I'm trying to figure out whether it's going to make more sense for a boss blind or a joker to take precedence

[next timber]

make them negate eachother maybe?

[vocal cedar]

considering Burgular overrides The Needle?

[next timber]

idk

[vocal cedar]

i would say it negates serpent yeah

Burgular can give you + hands on a Needle blind

so i think jokers always take precedence

hey while im here is anyone good at pixel art and such?

having a weird issue with my hologram reskin with GIMP

[hushed field]

I was going to make a case for that relating to the order of operations when it comes to changing the number of hands you have left, but I think the feeling still holds that the joker'd overrule the boss blind

chicot does, anyway 😛

[hushed field]

i don't use gimp, but i have some knowledge of pixels. what's the issue?

[vocal cedar]

nothing wild but

here look

so

we got bro here

we got the holorgram card here

in game though? nothing shows up on holorgam card

and to test this i put a big fat smiley face on my holoram soul and only the smile showed up right

i think it has something to do with transparent pixels not like

properly rendering?

any advide?

i mean bro is certantly here

[dense vector]

Oh my god they're all mewing

[hushed field]

is it exported to both the x1 and x2 file? and the layers are properly exported as well?

[vocal cedar]

yeah lmao

yeah

i think

its all one layer lol

[dense vector]

The virgin Vagabond vs chad Baron

[vocal cedar]

not my original work lmfao. im just going through and changing all instances of "joker" to "jorker" stuff like "egg" etc

just making a big texturepack for me and my friends that combines all my favorite balatro texturepacks lmfao

[vocal cedar]

i know

comical placement of those two

[dense vector]

egg

[vocal cedar]

egg

[vocal cedar]

x2 is REALLY fuzzy rn cause original file was x1

i tried to upscale it and it just looks like garbage in game

[next timber]

you gotta make sure you're upscaling with nearest neighbour algorithm

anything else sucks with pixel art

[hushed field]

that's probably part of the issue somewhere

[vocal cedar]

no cause 2x only kicks into effect with pixel smoothing

and worst part?

i deleted the 2x folder lol

before i messed with the image it WORKED in game with only a 1x folder

in fact watch this

downloading the orignal texture unedited it looks like this

[manic rune]

quick question, are you working on a file of another texture pack?

isnt that legendere jokers

[vocal cedar]

yep

yeah i got permission from eaze tho

im not uploading anything

[manic rune]

oh, i see

[vocal cedar]

just doin shit

[manic rune]

just to be sure :3

[vocal cedar]

basically

the texture pack and mod are completely seperate btw

[manic rune]

oh sweet, love the name changes

[vocal cedar]

the mod is just gonna rework the legendaries right

and i changed the nameplates

making them slightly better for late game

and i wanted to use his art

and he is fine with merging mods as long as i credit yadda yadda

the texture pack with the mogging jokers is just like

[manic rune]

also, is the name changed legendere jokers texture pack a separate mod?

[vocal cedar]

a merge of all the funniest textures i could find for balatro

[manic rune]

or is it fused with your textures too

[vocal cedar]

as of now no

[manic rune]

oof

[vocal cedar]

when i release the mod with the changed mechanics yeah

his art
my name changes
my new functionality

etc

[manic rune]

kinda hoped it is, i really like the changes but i dont think they fit with mewing jokers 💔

[vocal cedar]

LMAO

they dont

this texture sheet again

is for my friends

who dont wanna insytall the modloader

non distributed just me and them lol

[manic rune]

icic

[vocal cedar]

but the hologram card is now getting fucked up

like i think i know why as well man

its fucking gimp going out and just

not handling translucent pixels wll or smth

[manic rune]

oof

thats annoying

you should probably switch to krita imo

its free, and i find it better than gimp

[next timber]

oh myg od im stupid

[vocal cedar]

ill give it a whirl

[next timber]

im doing

has_blackhole_card = true
if not has_blackhole_card then
  first_blackhole = i
end

my genius

it frightens me

[manic rune]

💔

[vocal cedar]

ugh thats annoying

gimp changes the colorformat

so i gotta go thru

and remake this whole fuckin shit again

[manic rune]

oof

[next timber]

ayy i got the black hole card to destroy the other cards!

now i just gotta figure out how to increase the values

it even properly synergises with revive

in fact thats. thats kinda terrifying

[broken cliff]

Looks Kinda Fire

[next timber]

a card that absorbs all other cards values by destroying them, and a card that duplicates when destroyed

[vocal cedar]

thankya

[broken cliff]

🥀

[vocal cedar]

again he did the actual pixel art i literally just changed their nameplates

[broken cliff]

still Fire

gl with ur exams

[tall wharf]

i got no clue how i added a different page

[wintry solar]

I think holograms soul just needs to be slightly transparent

[reef belfry]

I dislike how these look but idk what to change abt them

[tall wharf]

hey eremel

how do i render fire behind ui elements

[wintry solar]

🤷‍♂️

[tall wharf]

ah

[wintry solar]

I haven’t bothered looking at that

[tall wharf]

i just want to give this page some flare that's all

ty tho

i guess I'll have to figure it out myself

[wintry solar]

I’d just look at how the chip and mult ones do it

I can’t imagine it’d be too hard

[tall wharf]

yeah i saw something along the lines of flame handler

[hushed field]

flame handler must be the coolest job to have as a tron-guy in the balatro code

[tall wharf]

maybe i should switch out stars for sprites

also i think love2d doesn't support coloured fonts?

like i tried using emoji fonts

[manic rune]

sometimes i have a stroke reading through my own code

[tall wharf]

but it didn't do anything

[wintry solar]

I don’t think the difficulty rating feels properly attached to the name of the challenge

[manic rune]

the difficulty rating reminds me of osu ngl

[tall wharf]

maybe i should encapsulate the challenge button inside the translucent box

[wintry solar]

That would help

I also think some spacing between each challenge chunk would do the trick too

[tall wharf]

also i could try to make the flame go up in case of hard difficulty

that would be so cool

[shell timber]

how would you average ranks using the smods rank api

i mean i could manually make an order but that seems annoying

[next timber]

what text formatting is used for greyed out text?

[vast fractal]

C:grey

[next timber]

thanks lol

[tall wharf]

C:inactive actually

[manic rune]

depends on what you want to do

but usually its C:inactive

[next timber]

do i win the longest info box competition

[wintry solar]

No

[next timber]

didnt think so

[wintry solar]

Not even close

[next timber]

lol

well good to know its not too long i spose

[tall wharf]

no

not even close

tl:dr joker incoming

[wintry solar]

Nah I think bepis wins that category very easily

[next timber]

JESUS

[tall wharf]

true

bepis has PAGES of descriptions

@manic rune show them

[wintry solar]

Tldr is just a load of random crap that isn’t important

[next timber]

what does that even do??

[tall wharf]

true

+1 mult for every playing card in hand and in play

[next timber]

lol

[tall wharf]

that description isn't updated

it still says +4 Mult

[next timber]

whats the easiest way to get the total values of a card? like total chips/mult/etc including edition+enhancement+seal

[tall wharf]

you recursively sum it up™

[next timber]

damn

[reef belfry]

Maybe i planned too many

[hushed field]

i've spread my joker sheets up, just for my own sanity, haha

[tall wharf]

is that 50x50

[reef belfry]

Huh

[tall wharf]

jokers

[reef belfry]

Its 71 x 95

[tall wharf]

yeah but how many of them per row / column

[reef belfry]

40

[tall wharf]

oh

[reef belfry]

So basically like in the hundreds

[tall wharf]

1600 jokers

[reef belfry]

Oh.. thousands..

Yeah im gonna size it down

[tall wharf]

not gonna lie i thought i had it be crazy big at 10x10

40 x 40 = 1600

[strong jacinth]

How would i create a table that has cards?

[tall wharf]

you create a table and you create card and insert?

[strong jacinth]

Is it as simple as:

local t = {}
t.insert("Gold")
local card
for i, v in t do
  if v[i] == "Gold" then
    card = SMODS.create_card(set = "mycustomset", area = area3, key = v)
    area3:emplace(card)
    i = i + 1
  elseif v[i] == "Steel" then
    card = SMODS.create_card(set = "mycustomset", area = area3, key = v)
    area3:emplace(card)
  end
end

Like would this work

-# (Im not really familiar with the lua syntax)

[maiden phoenix]

What are you trying to do? Randomly add gold or steel playing cards?

[strong jacinth]

I want a system, where i can display all cards in t

Would this work?

[manic rune]

...pfft

pathetic

[dreamy thunder]

Not even close..

[manic rune]

all that... just for a fraction of my power

[next timber]

is there really no easy way of getting the total chip, mult and xmult values of a card other than just summing up every single attribute that controls them

[manic rune]

mhm

editions work on their own calculation stuff

[reef belfry]

How would this even look on a card

[tall wharf]

crazy ahh fire

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/kt5boy

behold

[next timber]

pages????

[manic rune]

pages, yes.

[dreamy thunder]

This game aint balatro anymore

[manic rune]

and even then

one of my jokers' first page is still longer :3

[strong jacinth]

Would this work? or is it to bad to wokr

[manic rune]

balatro, the turn-based rpg game

:3

[dreamy thunder]

😭

[manic rune]

oh, but mind you

i even intended to add light cones

which is just another layer of equipment

this shit

aka page 5

:3

[loud meteor]

to add a seal to all cards for a back, is it just this in func=function()

  G.playing_cards[i]:set_seal(G.P_SEALS.Red, nil, true)
end```
?

[manic rune]

thats not how you run a for loop

[loud meteor]

im getting some issues but cant figure out whats wrong

[manic rune]

for i = 1, #G.playing_cards

[loud meteor]

i got it from the examples page

[manic rune]

and i think you can just do

for i,v in ipairs(G.playing_cards do

and use v instead of G.playing_cards[i]

[loud meteor]

ah alr ill try that

[manic rune]

also, if it still doesnt work then check if this is correct later, i never touched seals before but tends to keep his keys at lowercase

[maiden phoenix]

Also I think SMODS has an util function to add a seal

[strong jacinth]

Would this work?
-# another way of saying buymp

[manic rune]

is that a new card area

if so, im as clueless as you, sorry

[loud meteor]

oh alr missed that, ill have a look ty

[manic rune]

:3

[strong jacinth]

area3 is a newely defined card area

[manic rune]

💔

[next timber]

what is the h_chips value in a card's ability

or just. anything starting with h_

[maiden phoenix]

Nvm they use set_seal too, the util is for poll behavior sorry

[loud meteor]

ah ok

all g, dw about it

[maiden phoenix]

h stands for hand, for example "Shoot the Moon" uses h_mult in their returned values

[strong jacinth]

You dont know?

[maiden phoenix]

Gold cards uses h_dollars and steel cards h_x_mult iirc too

[strong jacinth]

Do you know SDM?

[maiden phoenix]

Eeehh my best bet would be to look at card creating consumable code such as the Incantation spectral card or the create_playing_cards func

[loud meteor]

ok instead of G.P_SEALS.Red i just added rank='Red' to config and used config.rank and it worked perfectly

[next timber]

ok so does card.base.nominal + card.ability.bonus + card.ability.perma_bonus + (card.ability.seal.chips or 0) + (card.edition.chips or 0) account for all ways a card earns chips when played (without jokers)?

or am i missing some random obscure way a card can have extra chips

[strong jacinth]

Is SMODS.consumable_type documented

[opal holly]

the mochiy pop one font lol

[strong jacinth]

I want a consumable, that you cant use? Would that be a consumable or like what type?

[next timber]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType is this what ur looking for

its listed as a subclass

i think

[strong jacinth]

But like how would i create a lets say a card with the object tyupe?

[maiden phoenix]

Do you want to make a new consumable (a tarot, planet, spectral) or a new consumable type?

[next timber]

create a consumable and set the set attribute to the key of the custom type, i think?

[maiden phoenix]

If it's a consumable I recommend looking at this:
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable

(I love failing copy paste)

[strong jacinth]

A custom type of card, that cant be "used"

How would i do that

[hushed field]

create a new type of consumeable and make it so 'can_use = function()' returns false

[strong jacinth]

Do i need to hook or?

[hushed field]

no

it's just the function just like the one that tarot cards use when you haven't selected a legal number of cards

[tall wharf]

@wintry solar how about this one

[hushed field]

though you'd hook or patch if you want the use button to not be there, i think

[strong jacinth]

Whats primary and secondary color?

[manic rune]

you would need to hook to Card:highlight, yeah

[next timber]

secondary colour is what colour the box that shows the card type is, like on tarot cards theres the purple box that says "Tarot"

i honestly have no clue about primary

[wintry solar]

That looks much better

[tall wharf]

gave it some room for the arrow to breathe

[manic rune]

aiko has transcended into both the ui and shader field

impossible

[hard flume]

Hihi!!!

[tall wharf]

!!!

hello hello

[manic rune]

hi 🥕

[wintry solar]

I’d maybe put the green identifier on the bottom row

[hard flume]

I'm almost done with my first world!!

[manic rune]

why is rules saying the joker

[hard flume]

Idk what to add after it tbh

This is the longest I've ever worked on a project without abandoning it

[vast fractal]

chip is not chipping

or it should be hand_chips?

[manic rune]

whats hand_chips, and mult

you are referring to a variable which doesnt exist

im pretty sure

[vast fractal]

vars in plasma deck

[manic rune]

i dunno how plasma deck looks like, but you need to refer to whatever is inside it

you cant just call mult

like, you know how you need to call card.ability.extra[something]?

[wintry solar]

They do exist

You should return chips = and mult =

Unless you are purposefully not wanting a message

In which case it should be chip_mod iirc

[unkempt thicket]

How can i make this trigger the end of round enhancements as well? I know how to but I need a context to set the values back as well.

[vast fractal]

chip_mod worked, thank you

[manic rune]

wha

💔 what kind of knowledge is this

the inconsistency is killing me

[hard flume]

Hihi!

I'm making new consumables. What effects should I try to add?

[wintry solar]

They’re the global values for what your chops and mult are at during calculation

[manic rune]

oh

ohhh

so they are global vars, got it

[next timber]

so i have a card and its ability.seal.chips = 270, but when i hover over the card, according to the tooptip it's still 0?? like im doing print(card.ability.seal) and the chips is showing up as 0, but when i do eval G.hand.cards[1].ability.seal it shows 270 chips like it should

why is it doing that

[high eagle]

I have a query

I’m trying to make a joker that gains mult whenever a card changes suits, is that possible to do within balatros source code? If so, how would I go about doing that?

[tall wharf]

why are people changing source code directly 😭

[high eagle]

Could I please have some e assistance if that is ok?

[crimson marlin]

Does anyone know how to destroy cards? im trying to make a custom boss blind

drawn_to_hand = function(self, card)
card:destroy()
end,

[brisk basin]

Are you using steamodded?

[high eagle]

Yes

[brisk basin]

What do you mean by "within balatro's source code"?

[manic rune]

wtf is going on :33

[high eagle]

I mean. Is there a way for balatro to detect if a suit changes, and then store that variable for use in my joker

[manic rune]

it does have the table, what the hell

oh wait nevermind, ipairs stuff

silly me

[primal robin]

Because it's the easiers you can do to modify game

[wintry solar]

I think smods is at the stage where its code is easier to write than vanilla

[tepid crow]

probably, but the first step of installing lovely+steamodded is still pretty big

[wintry solar]

yeah I guess

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/eadgup

i dont know why i even struggled at this simple task :3

[spark owl]

I has a question

[manic rune]

description PAGES and still using info_queue is crazy ngl

[spark owl]

Does anyone know how to change the legendary jokers’ art

In terms of like coding

[manic rune]

look at how legendere jokers do it

[hushed field]

are banned keys only checked at the start of the run, or can you update those dynamically?

[spark owl]

I did

It did not work

[manic rune]

weird

are you sure your code is exactly like theirs

[spark owl]

The first one is for me

and the second is Legendere

wait

they are both the same

bruh

there we gio

[manic rune]

-# notepad????

[spark owl]

It’s a LUA

and I could use notepad to change it

If there’s another app I could have been using that’d make this easier then

please do tell me I’m very stupid

[manic rune]

visual studio code

the app that makes code look like this

[spark owl]

ok Ty

[modern kindle]

If you don't want that you can use sublime, notepad++, etx

Also hi bepis

[spark owl]

I’m downloading it rn

Oh I should also probably tell you like

How it’s breaking

Whenever one of the cards load in
It just says that the Atlas is nil

[manic rune]

helo

[next timber]

ok so if doing card.ability.seal in the loc_vars of a seal doesn't actually give the card's real seal values after theyve been modified, then how do i access that information

[spark owl]

Okay so uhm

What do I do now

[manic rune]

:3 i actually never touched stuff regarding replacing arts of existing jokers before, so its weird it doesnt work

[spark owl]

Yea

here's like what happens when i try to look at the cards

.

What

[mellow pendant]

Hi I'm posting here because I don't know where to ask for requests so my idea was a quality of life that would prevent moving the cards after submitting a hand so that it would keep the order given by the player instead of reorganizing based on color or value. I don't know how to code personally and I don't know how difficult it can be to do but I hope my idea can interest someone except if it has already been done and in this case I would like to have the name 😅 . thanks in any case

[spark owl]

WHAT HAPPENED HERE

[vast fractal]

spelling ig or key

[tall wharf]

damn i love triboulet

[tall wharf]

i have told you that the mod called Cartomancer exists

3 times...

[mellow pendant]

I tried but didn't work

[tall wharf]

what didn't work

[mellow pendant]

It keeps reorganizing

[mellow pendant]

I am stupid but not that stupid

[tall wharf]

there's a toggle that says "Sort Hand" next to the cards

if you turn that off i think it does what you want it to

[spark owl]

okay yea i did something wrong here

[manic rune]

😭

can you show me your joker png file

[spark owl]

somethign is HORRIBLY wrong here

[manic rune]

oh, actually

can you try turning off Malverk

[spark owl]

i can send you the rar

itself

oh

ok

[spark owl]

I swear if that was the issue the entire time

Nope

It was not

[tall wharf]

Malverk is the mod that provides Texture Pack API

[manic rune]

im assuming, since it also fucked up BlueStorm by replacing Blueprint/Brainstorm art with something else

[mellow pendant]

where do I do I turn it off

[manic rune]

😭

[mellow pendant]

I don't have that

[tall wharf]

did you install Cartomancer

[manic rune]

did you install the latest version of cartomancer

[mellow pendant]

yes

[tall wharf]

show mods page

[manic rune]

show the mods folder please

mhghgh

ok im gonna stop interupting

Rabbit hole

Catalyst and Yomi are like endgame stuff whoop

But anyways yea this is the file

[tall wharf]

and the code?

[manic rune]

this is their code

[tall wharf]

i think you should do what legendere does

okok

[tall wharf]

as in vertical™️

[spark owl]

i'll do that

can you send me that image

[manic rune]

wha

[manic rune]

mine looks different

😭

[tall wharf]

huh

i use the malverk version idk

[manic rune]

this is their code

[spark owl]

that one is the nexus one

[manic rune]

so it should work

[tall wharf]

ok just

[vast fractal]

how to modify the blind requirement when a hand is played

[tall wharf]

stack the pngs

[spark owl]

i'll try the malverk version

[high eagle]

?

[spark owl]

and see what the code is

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.blind.chips and don't forget to G.GAME.blind.chip_text

[manic rune]

i think the code for the malverk version of legendere is different

[slender cape]

does anyone know any mods that add custom face card skins into the friends of jimbo menu? im trying to figure out how using the github guide but itd help to see a reference

all the ones i can find just replace existing ones

Maybe I can check the existing cards that change suit? Idk

[turbid maple]

I'm extracting the real time-ification part of my mod into a separate mod and I can't think of a good name for it

im assuming that only blinds use it :3

alright I'm giving shops a 30 second timer now that you said that

[manic rune]

yeah but actually

[next timber]

name it john

[manic rune]

what if it works on vnd instead

so its like $5000 per egg 💔

[tall wharf]

Toki means Time

[turbid maple]

john balatro

[tall wharf]

and is also BA character

[turbid maple]

you're so right

it's toki now

[manic rune]

oh wow

thats a cool name

[hushed field]

Before I started Kino, my hobby gamedev project was a monopoly-like that tracked the stock market of a certain period to base a lot of it's things off, and if I ever finish that my dream is for that game to become super big because the current economic downturn makes certain builsd OP ❤️

[next timber]

my confusion just keeps growing
this seal is gaining chips. when its scored after having absorbed cards in the past, it does add the correct amout of chips to the score. so WHY does the tooltip still say +0 chips

[turbid maple]

on a more serious note I was planning to make Shiroko turn cards in the shop free but timers extend to the shop as well

[unkempt thicket]

what config value does gold cards use?

[tall wharf]

why is it on a timer 😭😭😭😭

[turbid maple]

funn

[hushed field]

I reckon it's always printing the else statement for loc vars

[tall wharf]

balatro but go fast

[high eagle]

I do not mean to be annoying but like . I am stuck

[next timber]

but why? ive tried printing card.ability.seal and it's not nil so the if statement should be returning true right

[manic rune]

handy becomes mandatory

💔

[hushed field]

I'm not entirely sure how the loc vars function checks that. But you can check Kino's code for the way sci-fi cards return their loc_vars, because that should also properly pass through the current info!

[spark owl]

i have

[next timber]

im looking at m3gan.lua because that appears to be a sci-fi card, and its literally just return { vars = { card.ability.extra.lower_by } }

[spark owl]

changed the code of the mod

into Malverk

NOW

IT WORKSSSSSS

YAYYYYYYYYYY

tysm

[hushed field]

Oh no I mean the enhancement called Sci-Fi!

[next timber]

ah i see lol

[high eagle]

. How would I view balatro’s source code again

[next timber]

your mod has. so much content

[turbid maple]

the game executable is actually a zip file

you can unzip balatro.exe and you'll see the source code

[next timber]

ok this looks simple

[high eagle]

…lets say. Hypothetically. I am stupid and don’t know how to find balatros zip file

Where would it be again

[normal crest]

I recommend looking at Mods/lovely/dump for the code

[high eagle]

I see

[normal crest]

That will have the patches made by SMODS too

[high eagle]

Thank you

[crimson marlin]

Im making a custom blind that destroys your cards when you draw them but i cant make it work tho, does anyone know how to fix that? (also my code:)
drawn_to_hand = function(self, card)
card:destroy()
end,

[normal crest]

Also you can find the balatro exe by clicking browse local files on steam

[next timber]

hm, i put print("fail") in the else statement and thats not printing

[hushed field]

I've got a job that allows me to spend a lot of time just working on it, and I'm a bit overzealous 😛

[next timber]

ima just try what you did and see what happens

[turbid maple]

https://tenor.com/view/we-steam-steamapps-common-lowtiergod-gif-16924497042177576819

[hushed field]

but by using a check statement to pass through info, you can check if there's an upgrade that exists, or else pass on the base number

[turbid maple]

Browse local files

[next timber]

we love steamapps common!!

are you really a real mod developer if you dont have a shortcut to steamapps common on your desktop

[rain slate]

What can I use to figure out which deck the run is using

[tall wharf]

%appdata%/.minecraft type shit

[normal crest]

G.GAME.selected_back iirc

[hushed field]

I've got the balatro mod folder pinned in my file explorer haha

[rain slate]

thx

[next timber]

this isnt working i geuninely just think the card variable is wrong somehow

[rain slate]

what does config look like

[crimson marlin]

how do you destroy cards? I cant find anything about that

[minor furnace]

It might finally be time for me to separate out my main into different files...

[tall wharf]

:3

[tall wharf]

what are you doing

[rain slate]

also try having just the card.ability.seal.chips stuff without all the card and or self.config... stuff

[next timber]

the print is returning {seal = {mult=0,chips=0,x_mult=0,money=0}}

[rain slate]

what does config look like @next timber

[high eagle]

What is a “badge” exactly btw

[tall wharf]

what doesn't work

[rain slate]

then it should just be card.ability.chips without the .seal in between?

[agile thistle]

real mod developers memorize the path in its entirety

[rain slate]

like try ```lua
return {
vars = {
card.ability.chips,
card.ability.mult,
card.ability.x_mult,
card.ability.money
}
}

[agile thistle]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\

[hard flume]

Hmm... Do I wait until before or after the Custom Modifier API is made to make Effects?

[minor furnace]

I just checked the wiki and when did they change the name of the last argument in loc_varsfrom center to card?

not that it makes any difference, but it's interesting

[high eagle]

I’m browsing the source code in an attempt to locate where it changes suits, but I can’t find the parameters where it identifies “the world”?

[tall wharf]

why are you using notepad to code

[high eagle]

…

[turbid maple]

these boys

[tall wharf]

😭

[high eagle]

I see

[rain slate]

she's js built different

[tall wharf]

I'm sorry but like

[next timber]

nope

[tall wharf]

you're debuffing yourselves

[high eagle]

What is a better coding software

[tall wharf]

vs code

[rain slate]

visual studio code

[next timber]

they just show nil instead of 0 now

[tall wharf]

it has colours

[hard flume]

Yeah I use visual studio code

[high eagle]

ok thank you

[turbid maple]

vs code (i use nvim on arch btw)

[next timber]

vscode ftw

[rain slate]

that's weird

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[next timber]

this code is in a seal

[high eagle]

But still my question stands, where does balatro define the suit-changing tarot cards? (World, Stars, Clubs, etc)

[turbid maple]

should.. be in cards.lua?

[minor furnace]

it's in cards.lua in use_consumeable

            for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function() G.hand.highlighted[i]:change_suit(self.ability.consumeable.suit_conv);return true end }))
            end    
        else```

[high eagle]

Thank you

[minor furnace]

all of the suit-changing tarot cards are done here, not referenced by name

[high eagle]

I see

That makes sense for why I couldn’t find it, ty

[minor furnace]

generally, all of the consumeable effects will be in that function

[next timber]

i genuinely just think loc_vars is being passed a fake card or some other card that isnt the actual card for some reason. because i can use eval to check the card's actual values and they're working correctly, it's just that the seal can't seem to see them

[minor furnace]

better question, why did they take a picture with their phone instead of taking a screenshot

[high eagle]

….

This is harassment /j

[rain slate]

maybe lua return { vars = { card.ability.seal.chips, card.ability.seal.mult, card.ability.seal.x_mult, card.ability.seal.money } } then? I'm certain you don't need to do all of the card and [] or self.config.[] stuff, and knowing lua it might cause some weird stuff

[next timber]

id bet my life rn that this is just gonna be returning 0, 0, 1, 0 but ill try

[modern kindle]

This is the modern way of doing it, stop sitting in the past god

[rain slate]

I mean that's what you want to happen, no? That's what you set the values to in config, so that's what they should be

like you can't just do lua local value = 1 print(value) and expect it to print 2

[next timber]

no? in the original screenshot i included the calculate which changes the value when the card is played alongside other cards

lemme send it again hang on

and i know the number is going up correctly because in the main_scoring context i can get it to give the increased number of chips

[high eagle]

so if i were to do this, would it add 4 to my joker every time (by calling hanafuda_mult with my new joker)? or is that not how it works

wait wait wait nvm

[turbid maple]

are you overriding Card:change_suit??

[high eagle]

im trying to make it so that whenever card:change_suit is ran, a variable is stored

but it might not work now that im thinking about it moar

okay let's back up for a sec

instead of what you're doing to implement your idea can i ask what you're trying to make exactly

a joker that triggers when a card changes suit?

[high eagle]

a joker that gains mult whenever a card changes suit

yee

[turbid maple]

mm okay there's gonna be multiple parts to this

[high eagle]

i thought so

[turbid maple]

First: To get a Joker to run its effects, its calculate function needs to be called with an appropriate context (which is just a table of variables containing relevant state of the game)

[high eagle]

i'd assume the appropriate context is whenever a consumable is triggered?

[manic rune]

you would need a hook

[high eagle]

unless there is another aspect of balatro that causes suits to be changed, idk

[turbid maple]

Unfortunately, a card changing its suit is not something the base game cares about so the game will not call any calculation functions when a suit is changed, so your Jokers will never know about this event

[high eagle]

that is why i was thinking that I add this line, so balatro can tell when the suit is changed

[turbid maple]

you could try to adapt the event called when a consumeable is used but that'd be clunky and would break if someone modded in a dif. source of suit changing

[turbid maple]

You'd need code that explicitly calls the calculate functions with appropriate context

[rain slate]

maybe you could patch it to call the calculate function and add your own context to it?

[turbid maple]

SMODS.calculate_context is the handy function that calls calculate for all the Jokers currently owned

[high eagle]

I seee

[deft niche]

what's the correct syntax if I want to add a random edition/seal/enhancement to a card when it scores?

sorry if I'm interrupting

[turbid maple]

so making up some names, the line that'd handle this would look something like
SMODS.calculate_context({ change_suit = true, changed_card = self }

then in the Joker's calculate function you can check for context.change_suit

[high eagle]

Where would I put this calculate context function within my code?

[turbid maple]

now how to get this line of code into the game is another matter

[rain slate]

lovely.toml right?

[manic rune]

...im a bit confused on why this is wrong

[turbid maple]

you'd put it into Card:change_suit but it's generally advised to not replace an entire function of your own because it would not play nice with other mods that want to do things to that function

there's two ways to do this: Lovely patches (if you need to inject the code into an arbitrary location or completely modify the function) or hooking the function (if all you need is your code to run before or after everything else in the function)

generally if you can the latter is simpler

[manic rune]

LIKE

in another function

this works

im so fucking confused

[rain slate]

well yeah but that's different

[manic rune]

how so

[rain slate]

in the first screenshot you have .readBuffs[card]

in that second screenshot you have .readBuffs(card)

[manic rune]

.

oh my fucking god you are right

💔

im dumb, thanks

[next timber]

lmao

[high eagle]

Hi how can I hook the function? Thank you a lot for your help by

btw

[turbid maple]

Hooking would look like this

-- This takes the function defined in the vanilla game and stores it into a variable for later reference
local _card_change_suit = Card:change_suit

-- We redefine the original function...
function Card:change_suit(new_suit)
    -- Then call the stored reference to the original function so it still works
    _card_change_suit(self, new_suit)

    -- Then do whatever we want after (or before if you want)
    SMODS.calculate_context( ... )
end

I had this dream of making a Yugioh style Ghost Rare filter shader, but now that I have looked at it really closely, it looks like the card game has special artwork for ghost rares that contribute to the hologram/ 3d effect.

I could get the color shifting working but it doesn't look as cool as I thought it would

[manic rune]

question, does SMODS.change_base work for this

since its what most mods use to change the suits of cards

[turbid maple]

I have no clue

[manic rune]

but if SMODS.change_base runs Card:change_suit then it should be fine

[hard flume]

What if I added nightmare variants of Jokers...?

[high eagle]

this would all be included here, right? (ignore the steammodded comment text, im using it as a template)

[rain slate]

the context should be right but I have no clue where the set_edition, set_ability or set_seal are from. Did you define these functions yourself, and why isn't the card being passed into them? How does it know which card to do it to?

also I feel like you should be using pseudorandom_element for these

[frosty dock]

it does not

[turbid maple]

looks like it calls card:set_base

[high eagle]

where exactly would i put the hook again?

[manic rune]

@remote shell

[hard flume]

Oh is that something that already exists?

[manic rune]

-# they added corrupted versions of jokers, fyi

[hard flume]

Oh. Fair enough

[deft niche]

• I tried copypasting from certificate's calculate function, for the edition and ability I have no idea where to look for the methods (honestly not evene sure the set_seal one even works);
• Should I syntax it as other_card:set_seal instead?
• I don't know what pseudorandom_element does, can you explain it to me?

[high eagle]

oh wait nvm i see

[tall wharf]

NOT THE SMALLANT FONT 😭

[remote shell]

the what

[deft niche]

I have read through the calculate page on the steamodded git a couple times but couldn't find anything regarding changing a card's type

[rain slate]

yeah you wouldn't find them there

[deft niche]

figured

[hard flume]

Oh cool. Nightmare Jokers would be similar but like. They also serve as a Yume Nikki reference

[rain slate]

I only know how to set the edition which is something like ```lua
context.other_card:set_edition({ negative = true}, true)
