i see

[formal parrot]

You should download the mod

[next timber]

my edition keeps flipflopping back and forth between working and not working

[formal parrot]

Damn

Like my brain

[minor furnace]

I love when smods patches start failing despite me not targeting these lines with my own patches

[neat plover]

argh

[minor furnace]

maybe they're deprecated?

[high eagle]

..................and it crashed

idk why; isnt atlas always a nil value?

always a table, i mean

[neat plover]

did you find anything

????

cause i surely didnt

[old bane]

i mean like which line is like 53, is it the first one i sent or the second one

becuase if it's the first one context.scoring_hand[i].config.center is a table containing a lot of entries, are you trying to get the rank of the card?

[hard flume]

I've decided to completely redo my Yume Nikki Jokers

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/noooo-gif-23973681

old Yume Nikki Jokers:

[high eagle]

Also

Um

What’s with the deperate 1x and 2x folders on mods

Separate

[zealous glen]

one is used when the smooth setting is on

[high eagle]

I see

....WHY IS THIS HAPPENING THEN?!

[hard flume]

Tbf, they were a bit generic. I want something more unique for them

[high eagle]

each joker is 4 jokers

[minor furnace]

why does the order field of my new consumeable type begin indexing at 46?

[hard flume]

Are you sure you have the small Jokers in the 1x folder and the big Jokers in the 2x folder?

[high eagle]

...

[hard flume]

You're supposed to have the Jokers in the 2x folder be 2x size

[minor furnace]

and, can I manually assign an order parameter to them?

[high eagle]

i see

[final wagon]

is there an array or way to get an array of all jokers, modded ones included?

[minor furnace]

so, my reverse tarot cards have orders 23 - 44, and my new hand/planet card has order 45, which is why my zodiac cards start at 46

Ideally, I'd want my new planet to have order 13, and my Zodiac cards to have order 1-13

[neat plover]

im trying to for loop my way into finding the highest card played, and then see if its a wild card

[tawdry coyote]

Does anyone know a way to destroy a random joker card after a round?

[minor furnace]

look at the code for Madness, and just change the context for when it activates

[high eagle]

oh god oh fudge

[tall apex]

The humble multi jokers:

[tawdry coyote]

I've tried looking at its code, but I can't find anything on destroying other cards, is it in card.lua? or some other source code?

[high eagle]

WHAT DID I DO I MADE IT WORSE

[minor furnace]

wrong sprite size in your atlas definition, probably

[tall apex]

I SUMMON SPRINTER, THE FORBIDDEN ONE!!!

[high eagle]

i see, ill tkae a look

[minor furnace]

yeah should be card.lua

[tawdry coyote]

Odd, I guess I'll look again, maye I missed it

[high eagle]

does the atlas take from 2x or 1x again?

[minor furnace]

1x I think

[high eagle]

i see

[minor furnace]

the sprite size should be 71 x 95

[neat plover]

depends on smoothing i think, for me its always 2x for some reason, but update both

[neat plover]

if somebody else has a better solution

[high eagle]

Gotcha

[neat plover]

would be greatly appreciated

[bold sleet]

Hello, good people. Are there any functions that do the same as set_edition but for enhancements, seals and stickers?

[minor furnace]

I think I was missing the pools field...

[old bane]

then instead of .config.center, use :get_id()
thatll give you the rank of the card

[neat plover]

OH

ITS NOT CRASHING

[remote sequoia]

When your function returns, add remove = true, card = [card in question],
to the return table

[minor furnace]

well that didn't fix it

[upbeat bronze]

how complicated would yall say making 1 joker is?

ive heard Lua isnt exactly fun to deal with

[tall apex]

I’d say it’s a solid hour depending on the concept and picking up a new language relatively quickly

[wintry swallow]

Sorry but, anybody know if I could run another .lua file trough my main.lua file?
I tried using dofile() or require but it didn't work and I didn't find anything online
Idk if what I'm saying makes any sense haha

[neat plover]

yk what??

[upbeat bronze]

hmm alright

[minor furnace]

assert(SMODS.load_file('file_name.lua'))()

[neat plover]

here is the file, im done, fix it, idc im gonna make morejokers for now

[wintry swallow]

Thank you so much <3

[neat plover]

i cant with this

[wintry swallow]

Does it have to be in the same directory?

[bold sleet]

The file you want to load should be inside the same directory from where you are calling the function.

[minor furnace]

I assume you can specify the file path though

[wintry swallow]

aight, ty

[minor furnace]

./folder/file_name.lua

[bold sleet]

And so on.

[minor furnace]

Probably works

[bold sleet]

Should work.

[wintry swallow]

maybe I'm stupid but sadly doesn't

[upbeat bronze]

is there any up to date guides for modding? closest one i can find in threads is from like 7 months ago so i doubt its uptodate

[wintry swallow]

Some useful Github links

[upbeat bronze]

tysm

[wintry swallow]

try to read them through, there are sadly no modding guides

[upbeat bronze]

yeah i feel the game being in lua is killing the modding scene, the modding scene for balatro is surprisingly small for how massive of a game its become

[charred halo]

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

if G.GAME.blind.boss and G.GAME.chips / G.GAME.blind.chips >= .95 then -- Combined condition
            print("Condition met, adding event") -- Debug print
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "before",
                delay = 0.0,
                func = function()
                    print("Event triggered, creating new card") -- Debug print
                    local new_card = create_card('powercreep', G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'j_pow_powercreep') 
                    print("New card created") -- Debug print
                    new_card:set_edition({ negative = true }, true)
                    print("New card set to negative edition") -- Debug print
                    new_card:add_to_deck()
                    print("New card added to deck") -- Debug print
                    G.jokers:emplace(new_card)
                    print("New card emplaced in jokers") -- Debug print
                end
            }))
        end

[glacial bloom]

brand new to this. Trying to make a joker that gains X0.5 mult every time two face cards are scored (not caring about balance right now) im kind of stuck and not sure what to do from here. I understand what I have currently, but don't understand anything else so far

[tall apex]

I enjoyed the cat embeds

[zealous glen]

You’re missing the scoring, Face card detecting, and better wording ;P

[glacial bloom]

If youre referring to the description of the joker, Im not too worried about it right now. But im not sure how to add the scoring, and detecting the face cards, which is why I asked here if somebody could point me in the right direction to help me with it

[zealous glen]

The SMODS wiki can help

It lists the automated calculation returns

And it also lists the context that provides the scoring hand

[high eagle]

What does the calculate context function do again?

[tall apex]

calculate it used to add things to the total score when scoring IIRC, I think it has more applicable uses tho

[high eagle]

I see

Because I’m trying to find out why one specific joker is not working

Let me copy and paste the code and see if anyone can help:

[tall apex]

I’ll try but I’m not very experienced :3

But I have a few functioning jonklers

[wintry arch]

any of yall ever played nuclear throne?

you know the effect when you go through a portal in that game. the background screen

it's like a spiral tunnel

i kinda wanna see if i can get love2d to make an effect like that for a card, maybe to implement for balatro

[tall apex]

I’ll look when I get home I’ll be like 5 minutes :)

… the file isn’t a .txt normally though right?

[mellow widget]

anyone know what the extension for steammods in vs code is?

[high eagle]

This isn’t an error message, the code isn’t doing what I intended it to do (add mult when a card changes suits)

[tall apex]

it was on my end i was on mobile

this is way above my paygrade unfortunately i haven't worked with suits yet

oh wait

a lot of this is context not actual code ok wait

[high eagle]

I see

[tall apex]

not... context

i mean like -- message i worded that awkwardly

[red flower]

if context.before and next(context.supbal_card_changes_suit(self, new_suit)) and not context.blueprint then
should probably be if context.change_suit then

[tall apex]

oh hey n c:

[red flower]

hi

[high eagle]

I see

Thank you

[tall apex]

i might have a quick question if this fix doesn't work for me

[high eagle]

lemme check if thi works

[red flower]

also you're missing a reference in that hook

[tall apex]

... yup same issue, god this is annoying

[hard flume]

Hihi!! :3

[tall apex]

hihi!

[red flower]

local _card_changes_suit = Card.change_suit
function Card:change_suit(new_suit)
    -- Then call the stored reference to the original function so it still works
    _card_changes_suit(self, new_suit)

    -- Then do whatever we want after (or before if you want)
    SMODS.calculate_context( { change_suit = true, changed_card = self } )
end

[red flower]

whats the issue

[tall apex]

for the LIFE of me i can't disscern why mult is working but chips are considered a nil value

it do be breaking my brain, care to point out my inevitable newb mistake? X3

[red flower]

did you modify the code in the middle of a run?

[tall apex]

no? i've been loading a savestate but i've restarted the game numerous times

[upbeat bronze]

well managed to get it to atleast show in game, now to figure out how i'd even make the effect work, i guess i could forcibly tear parts from Canio and Ceremonial Dagger

[wintry arch]

concept mockup

[tall apex]

i could try a new one

[red flower]

what if you dont load from a savefile?

[tall apex]

ill try a new run c:

[next timber]

yoo this looks sick

[upbeat bronze]

ty

[tall apex]

why did this work..,

[red flower]

objects keep their old ability values when you load

you need to restart or get a new instance

[tall apex]

OHHHHHHHHHH

gotcha

[high eagle]

its working!!!!!!!!!!!! tysm

[tall apex]

i can move on to finally making the joker ability work rather than troubleshooting something i have done on a previous joker LMAO

[zealous glen]

FYI there’s nothing to detect if Jokers were destroyed in vanilla

Paperback and Betmma’s do it tho

[red flower]

joyousspring does it :3

[upbeat bronze]

ah yeah i suppose it wouldnt detect it

[zealous glen]

How do you do it?

Betmma’s old solution checked for the color of Card:dissolve

[red flower]

i hook card:remove

and i check the area and that it's not the end of the game

[high eagle]

Hm. Well, it’s not working for the Sigil card which is odd

[red flower]

btw this treats selling as the same so its obviously not a good solution lol

[upbeat bronze]

my reaction to this convo:

https://tenor.com/view/confusion-huh-gif-22987897

[round island]

can someone please help me install lovely mod injector

im gonna lose it

[upbeat bronze]

i am not code guy i am art guy

[red flower]

im a code guy

i hate art

(making it)

[wintry arch]

does balatro do anything silly with love2d in terms of rendering

[next timber]

wtf why is my edition breaking only after i apply it to a joker, remove it, and then apply it again?? the original mult should never be changing i cannot find anywhere in the code that would be causing it to change, let alone only after its applied twice

oh shit maybe i should deep clone on this one specific line in the on_remove function

does aiko not do that?? why does it work for them then

or did they just not test as rigorously as me

[tall apex]

im art girl, but i also like coding but im not v good

[next timber]

istg if this really is just a reference vs value assignment problem i might lose it

it was a fucking reference assignment issue

[slow crater]

Hello. Can anyone tell me if there is a person on this server who understands the code? I am making my own joker and I need to apply a function to it so that it is destroyed with a 25% chance after the end of the round. Maybe someone in the chat made mods and knows how to do this?

[next timber]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua this has a clone of gros michel

which has basically the same effect as you're describing

[slow crater]

I'll take a look now, thank you very much for your help

[tall apex]

michel when gros

[next timber]

if gros, then only michel !!

ok so i think i've fixed big jokers? i can't think of any more glaring issues with them i should solve

though while im debugging them. why the fuck does loyalty card double to every eleven hands instead of twelve

ohh

in the code for some fucking reason

[high eagle]

Does the code that makes sigil work not use the “change suit” function?

[next timber]

it stores it as one lower than it is

and then adds one

???

why does it do that.

can i be bothered to patch it? fuck no!

its staying at every 11 hands

[red flower]

it might be because of the timing of the update, I remember having trouble with that for jokerdisplay

[next timber]

no like its ability.extra.every is 5. why is it 5

[upbeat bronze]

man this is giving me a headache

[next timber]

that i presume doesnt change

so why is it 5

lol

[upbeat bronze]

why did i have to pick a complicated effect to start with

[red flower]

i dont know if this is the case but i can guess its so it doesn't trigger early

[high eagle]

That is. Really silly if that is the case. Programming oversight?

[next timber]

no cause like it does activate every 6

so its not a bug. its working as intended

[red flower]

thats not what i mean

[next timber]

this is my best guess too

depending on how it works i might just be able to handle the doubling of the every variable differently which would be fairly easy

[crisp elbow]

Programming usually also counts starting at 0

[next timber]

not in lua

[crisp elbow]

0-11 is technically 12

[next timber]

in lua its. fucking 1 indexed baybee

whyyy

[high eagle]

I’m going to check the code for sigil, see why it’s not triggering

[next timber]

ok it seems like i may have to decide between making Joker Stencil not buff at all or giving literally every joker a x2 mult. fun

[red flower]

sigil uses set_base

[high eagle]

I see

[next timber]

ok its making probabilities half as likely again why is it doing that i told it not to

[high eagle]

Oh god, how would I even account for that

[crisp elbow]

You could have a “jank” solution of potentially checking how many joker slots you have and subtracting it by 1 to fit when you calculate stencil (I am dumb and do not know how to do it but logically it makes sense)

[red flower]

hook set_base and check if the suit before and after are different

[high eagle]

I see

[next timber]

the thing is im trying to double all values. except the default value for x_mult is 1 so i don't wanna double that except for when i do and its so so confusing

[red flower]

thats why i dont do stuff with vanilla jokers lol

if i ever have to im taking ownership and recreating the effects with smods api

[next timber]

damn, Big Perkeo doesn't give two negative consumables

thats a shame

i like perkeo

[tall apex]

hey n i have another question

[next timber]

oh damn Driver's License is hard coded to 16 cards

[red flower]

shoot

[tall apex]

for why not work? it says it's indexing a nil value

or wait did it say indexing?

i got this from the arm, but it's still quite confusing

[red flower]

handname should probably be context.scoring_name

[tall apex]

like in the brackets?

[red flower]

yeah

idk what the effect does tho

[tall apex]

the goal is to level down a played hand c:

[upbeat bronze]

i do not know what im doing and the guides really dont help

[red flower]

that's me but in life

[upbeat bronze]

i mean they got the joker to display in game sure but it just crashes upon doing anything

so

[tall apex]

i wish there was a way to see all the contexts and stuff tbh

i so often need to ask for a certain context

[red flower]

the wiki?

[tall apex]

that only has examples though?

[red flower]

no

[upbeat bronze]

im like trying to use the modded vanilla example jokers as a guide and even then it wont do anything

i am not a programming guy why did i think this was a good idea

[red flower]

most context are there except some new ones

[next timber]

why the FUCK does 8 Ball literally just store its probability directly to the extra. like literally just extra = 4

that is. so annoying

[tall apex]

oh really?

[red flower]

yeah

[next timber]

im gonna have to hard code a case for that

[tall apex]

huh

still doesn't help me level down a hand unfortunately

lemme give it another gander

[red flower]

you can try returning level_up = -1

[tall apex]

i tried that but it just didn't do anything u-u

[high eagle]

What does set_base do exactly ? /genq

[red flower]

changes suit and rank

[high eagle]

I see

[charred halo]

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

[red flower]

yeah, it's probably calling the calculation of the new ones

[tepid crow]

what else is it supposed to store? the rank 8? 🤔

[tall apex]

wdym it works now

WDYM

[red flower]

extra= ball

[tepid crow]

extra = we ball

[next timber]

fair

[tall apex]

n was it really as shrimple as that? do my eyes decieve me?

[charred halo]

so would i have to my condition for the duplication to be outside the calculation

[red flower]

you can add a value to the new one so it doesn't trigger that round

[tall apex]

i can finally do the pixel art after a good long coding lession

[charred halo]

i see, what would that look like in practice

[red flower]

when you make a copy you do copy.ability.extra.copied_this_round = true and then you set it to false in context.setting_blind or something

[tall apex]

waiiiiit no i cant, it upgrades even when it cant level down the hand

[charred halo]

ok sick thanks

[tall apex]

although, seeing a lvl 0 hand is hilarious so immna keep that part

im p sure itss a shrimple context change

[mellow widget]

i would use if context.final_scoring_step then to make a enhancement do something at the same time glass cards break, right?

[unkempt thicket]

How do i get the current deck the run is on?

[upbeat bronze]

i'd kill for someone to make coding simpler just in general man

[upbeat bronze]

like these are helpful to a point but the second you need to do something unexplained, good luck

[pseudo cape]

does anyone know what all the names of variables for colors modifiers in descriptions (the {C:[variable name]} {} things are? I'm working on a tool and part of that is a real time visualizer of text modifiers with colors and I need to have all the base ones in there to get it fully set up. If you also know the hex codes of what the variables are somehow that'd also be amazing

[upbeat bronze]

sitting looking at the example jokers lua with tons of lines of code going completely unexplained with 0 notes like:

https://tenor.com/view/tism-eyes-gif-15088206100719378788

[pseudo cape]

tyy

[red flower]

what are you stuck on

[upbeat bronze]

trying to get literally anything to work beyond the joker appearing

[charred halo]

is this inside the calculate function?

[upbeat bronze]

im looking at Castle & Cavendish being explained in examplejokers and theres just no notes for what anything does

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

what do you mean by anything? most stuff is either explained there or on the wiki

[upbeat bronze]

and frankly diving into a lua document thats hundreds of indexes long to try and get 1 simplish thing to work is an absurd ask

[next timber]

is there any easy way to change a joker's odds in such a way that the description says, for example, "2 in 4" instead of "1 in 2"? or is that just something that only oops all sixes can do

[upbeat bronze]

frankly at this point i just want the xmult to display in the description, i dont even care if the effect works or not, just trying to get it to not display as xNil ingame

[red flower]

oops all 6 changes the base probabilities of everything for that, maybe you can change the loc_vars

[upbeat bronze]

i dont even know why its displaying as +nil either

[hard flume]

You don't have your local vars defined

[red flower]

you need a loc_vars function https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[hard flume]

Because you have a plus instead of an X in front of the #1#

[tall apex]

hihi i am once again having a problem, ik this is probibly the wrong context and worded incorrectly but how would i look at the level of the played hand and see if its above or equal to zero

this goober is a problem child

[red flower]

what you did before in the other screenshot but change handname to context.scoring_name

[upbeat bronze]

english please

[red flower]

i think the link explains it well

[upbeat bronze]

i dont mean to be rude but none of these are actually helpful

[tall apex]

i tried that before, but ill try it again c:

ohhh right it says its trying to compare with a table for that line which,,, im still learning about tables ;w;

[upbeat bronze]

like theyre helpful to a point but that point is "heres an all at once info dump with no real correlation towards anything any of the code actually does"

[red flower]

all of that correlates to what the code does

[hard flume]

And even if it didn't, that mindset is not going to help you with programming

[unkempt thicket]

How do i get the current deck the run is on?

[upbeat bronze]

guess im gonna stick to art then cause all this is doing is making me want to throw something

now my balatro wont even start without crashing, i dont get how its gotten worse

i dont think im a stupid person but man this is so frustrating to deal with

[red flower]

you might need to learn more basics

like, I'm willing to help but it's hard when people say that they don't understand anything

[tall apex]

i be here like

[clever coral]

Hi. I'm a curious person who can understand a bit of coding but never quite put my hands onto it.
If I were to create a mod for personal use to add a few more jokers in the game, where should I start from?
(I already have smods and talisman running)

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[azure phoenix]

i'm making my first mod and don't really know what i'm doing, this joker is either crashing or just doesn't do anything (supposed to convert spades to hearts and clubs to diamonds)

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'conversionJoker',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Placeholder',
        text = {
            "Convert played cards with {C:spades}Spade{}",
            "suit to {C:hearts}Heart{} suit and {C:clubs}Club{}",
            "suit to {C:diamonds}Diamond{} suit when scored"
        }
    },
    -- This is leftover from the template, i don't know if config is required or not but i left it in just in case
    config = { extra = { mult = 4 } },
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    atlas = 'jokerAtlas',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 8,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:is_suit(spades) then
                return {
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(card, 'Hearts'))
                }
            elseif context.other_card:is_suit(clubs) then
                return {
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(card, 'Diamonds'))
                }
            end
    end
    end
}

[faint yacht]

is_suit also accepts strings for the suit.

[hard flume]

First, you need to define card = other_card.

[faint yacht]

SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, 'Hearts') also.

[azure phoenix]

oh

[tall apex]

hmm, im still having trouble.,, idk what table this is trying to compare to at all x-x

[maiden phoenix]

G.GAME.selected_back

[azure phoenix]

it works, thanks

[red flower]

oh do you have talisman

[tall apex]

i do!

[red flower]

that's the problem

[tall apex]

ah.

[red flower]

talisman makes hand levels into tables

[tall apex]

ohhh.,, weird

[charred halo]

is "copy.ability.extra.copied_this_round" real, game crashing, cant find documentation of it

[red flower]

no, you need to define it yourself

inside config

[charred halo]

ok thanks

[faint yacht]

if to_big(context.hands.level) > to_big(0) then

[tall apex]

mind if i ask what to_big is?

[red flower]

it's what turns numbers into talisman numbers

[tall apex]

AH.

saw that in some other mods and left it alone, that is VERY good to know

[red flower]

you need a dummy version of it if you want to use it without talisman, something like

to_big = to_big or function(a) return a end

[tall apex]

oh to make it so it's still defined without talisman?

[red flower]

yeah

[tall apex]

word!

ugh.,,

now im getting the old issue where its saying 'hand' is a nil value

ignore that i was looking up space LMAO

[faint yacht]

Is this trying to get the "level" of "current" hand?

[tall apex]

yes!

[minor furnace]

why is smods making the card prefix c for something I've specified is a planet?

[red flower]

context.hands.level doesn't exist, you need to do the other thing i told you but wrap it in to_big

[tall apex]

ohhhhhh, gotcha!

[minor furnace]

is there a way to make this have the planet prefix?

[next timber]

losing my mind because my code randomly stopped working and i literally have no fucking clue why. even undoing all the recent changes isnt working

[pseudo cape]

I am discoverer of hex codes

my tool be coming along

[tall apex]

ITS FULLY WORKING

[maiden river]

c_ is the prefix for consumables

so planets, tarots, spectrals, etc

[tall apex]

literally n thank you for your patience im so happy about learning this stuff c:

my first rare jonkler is working, exp farm my beloved

[next timber]

oh this is brilliant

[red flower]

https://tenor.com/view/rikka-takanashi-love-chunibyo-%26-other-delusions-chunibyo-anime-anime-girl-gif-641810153683285789

[minor furnace]

ah ok

[pseudo cape]

once it's done it should allow for making jokers, decks and maybe even consumables pretty easily, right now it's not quite there yet

[tall apex]

witness the consiquences of your actions (soon to be textured)

[granite turret]

0!?

[next timber]

what really is xChips anyways

[tall apex]

c:

[pseudo cape]

can it go below 0?

[granite turret]

multiplies Chips by X

[tall apex]

nope, thats what i was struggling with

[pseudo cape]

nope as in it shouldn't or wont?

[tall apex]

it was keeping it at 0 but still leveling off of a hand

[next timber]

mult:

[pseudo cape]

o huh

[granite turret]

very similar to XMult, but interacts differently for a few things

[tall apex]

won't and shouldnt c:

[granite turret]

(before Mult)

[tall apex]

i think it's underutilized so i wanted to make a joker that does it and does it well

[minor furnace]

so, these cards both have the same order value. But all of my custom consumables appear to have their order calculated as if all of them were tarot cards (values begin and go up from 23), even if that's not the set they're in

and I'm not sure how to fix that

[granite turret]

same here, though i do get why people argue not to add it

the difference between XChips and XMult is very build-dependent and typically not much of a change

but it does exist

[red flower]

i dont think it should be in vanilla but i think it adds flavor to mods

[tall apex]

oh that's an interesting perspective

well worded too

[granite turret]

i find it worth, if mainly for the variety

[tall apex]

i agree tbh, vanilla is just.., good XD

[granite turret]

certain Chips Jokers would enjoy it :3

but outside of that

[tall apex]

i still play vanilla runs even tho i play modded

[granite turret]

think of it like how you think of XMult

[tall apex]

guess my favorite number

[plain apex]

is it possible to kill the player during scoring?

[tall apex]

the wee 2

[zealous glen]

ohh

[granite turret]

Wee + XChips source would be nasty

[tall apex]

I LOBE VE CHIPS ADSGJLSDJG

[tall apex]

IKR

[tall apex]

oh neat, we have a similar joker! c:

[zealous glen]

:D

[tall apex]

mine is a rare, what's yours? c:

[granite turret]

in general, XChips makes Chip scaling useful in the endgame

[granite turret]

whoa...

[red flower]

i dont get it

[granite turret]

Wee is a Chips source, one of the best in the game

[tall apex]

ooh, and make sure you define when a hand CANT level any lower!! I have mine set to 0 because i wanna see people cry that they have a lvl 0 hand XD

[red flower]

i know, whats different from adding mult

[zealous glen]

I just go with vanilla

not below 1

[tall apex]

bcos that AND mult has a different higher score

... right?

im an art student not a math nerd X3

[red flower]

it's the same operation unless you're in plasma deck

[granite turret]

exactly

[tall apex]

plasma deck.,,,

[granite turret]

except that some Jokers behave differently with it

[granite turret]

it all goes back to this

[minor furnace]

anybody know how to fix this, or am I just stuck using funky index values

[red flower]

but not wee

[tall apex]

my logic is simple, blue number funny and quirky and different

[granite turret]

why would Wee not behave the same as other Chips Jokers under XChips

[tall apex]

even if its not different LMAO

[red flower]

because multiplying mult or chips doesn't change anything during main joker scoring

[gusty iron]

could someone give me a guide on how to make joker retextures?

[granite turret]

fair
unless the XChips/XMult took effect after Wee triggers

[red flower]

no

[zealous glen]

I recommend using Malverk, and if you do there's the Legendere mod (and other Malverk mods)

[red flower]

it's the same

[granite turret]

then i am very confused

[red flower]

like unless youre ordering it wrong i guess

but thats the same for +mult

[granite turret]

that's what i'm trying to say
there is very little difference at the end of the day

[red flower]

yeah but my point is that wee + xchips is not more insane than wee + xmult

[tall apex]

ok real debate tho, mips or chult

[red flower]

in fact xmult is better because order doesnt matter

[granite turret]

that was what i missed

[granite turret]

and both, assuming both identically-valued sources of XChips and XMult, would provide the same value

i'm not a math student either, i'm an engineering student

[red flower]

im comsci so im worse than both

[granite turret]

of course, why not have both

[tall apex]

[granite turret]

the simple solution: XChips and XMult working together for maximum chip generation

[tall apex]

BIG NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[red flower]

^mult

[next timber]

huh?? why is it saying the length of keywords is 0???

[granite turret]

[tall apex]

[red flower]

i dont think # works for non-arrays

[next timber]

samn

[granite turret]

Xscore when Plasma Deck walks in:

[next timber]

aiko's code is.. bad..? no, it cant be..

[red flower]

if you need to check if it has something do next(keywords)

[tall apex]

me when plamsa yummy puirble

this joker is so mid LMAO i love it

[granite turret]

🟥🔥🟦

[granite turret]

which one?

[granite turret]

...
i'm not even gonna edit out my mistake

😭

[tall apex]

the one i just made

having a level zero hand is MISERABLE, you have to have a planet engine online for that joker to ever be worth

[granite turret]

less mid than what i've got in the oven at least
it has a cool gimmick of deleveling

[gusty iron]

I have all of the basic things set for normal things, but the textures just arent replacing for some reason, heres what my file directory and .lua file look like

[minor furnace]

I'm just gonna assume either I'm missing some specific value in my card declaration, or this is an artifact of SMODS implementation at this piont

[modern kindle]

you can prob just add event

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if not context.joker_main then return end

        if pseudorandom("death_card_trigger") < (1 / card.ability.extra.odds) then
            print("[DEBUG] acitvated death prob")

            -- force game over
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
                    G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
                    print("[DEBUG] game over triggered")
                    return true
                end
            }))
        else
            print("[DEBUG] get fucked kiddo")
        end
    end
}

and just integrate that with your other functions

nope

[granite turret]

good

[tall apex]

if it could i would have let it LMAO

im sick and twisted like that

:3

[copper ermine]

hello chat, how would i check to see when a joker is purchased or otherwise added to your inventory (through riff raff, judgement)?

[zealous glen]

SMODS.INIT hasn't been applicable in ages

[tall apex]

wait you look at my joker

[zealous glen]

you need a more recent modding reference

[granite turret]

me when designing legendaries

[red flower]

:3

[tall apex]

:3

[gusty iron]

im just using a really old tutorial then 😭

could you send me one thats more up to date?

[granite turret]

:3

what does emotional support do

[tall apex]

oh i have a legendary in my modpack, but it literally does nothing and it's entire purpose is to make people waste soul card LMAO

[tall apex]

makes it squeak

c:

i love useless jokers RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

[granite turret]

oh, that's evil
that's so mean...

[tall apex]

witness my jonkler

[granite turret]

wait till i pull up with the squeak build

[tall apex]

REAL

[granite turret]

and beat Violet Vessel

[modern kindle]

ive got 2 legendaries myself, but only 1 can be spawned through a soul card

[tall apex]

how many squeak per second

[granite turret]

why is there a naked Patrick

[modern kindle]

the other you need to sell x amount of another joker to spawn it in

[tall apex]

funny

[granite turret]

i was considering making all Legendaries upgradeable through a (buffed) Soul

[tall apex]

(im a little statistic)

[granite turret]

sooooo...

a little wild

[high eagle]

Hello

[tall apex]

if you do that ill make it compat with this mod so that you can't sell him until the song is over XD

[high eagle]

What does set base call again?

[minor furnace]

I'm just gonna make a lookup table to do what I want to do at this point...

[granite turret]

peak comedy
Tier II consumables shall exist, and haunt your dreams

[modern kindle]

thats fair, i just have some moderate theming through jokers

to spawn this one it (its called the president)
you have to sell a random amount between 5-10 of the secret service jokers to summon him in (always negative)
and the amount to sell randomizes between runs

[red flower]

wdym

[granite turret]

simple enough
unusual Legendary acquisition is quite interesting

and you get cash out of it

[modern kindle]

money is always epic

[next timber]

how do i make the tooltip for an edition change depending on what type of card it's referring to? like how negative changes between "joker slot", "hand size" and "consumable slot"

infact thats basically exactly what i want to do

[red flower]

you need to make your own tooltip localization

[granite turret]

absolutely

[azure phoenix]

how would i make the game determine which hand is played after a joker modifies some cards (ex. play a two pair that would end up being a flush, how do i make it detect the flush)

[high eagle]

Sorry. i meant to ask if i am calling set_base right here:

trying to create the context "a card changes suits" for my joker to call ^^

[red flower]

it should be something like

local card_set_base_ref = Card.set_base
function Card:set_base(card, initial)
    card_set_base_ref(self, card, initial)
    SMODS.calculate_context(...)
end

[high eagle]

i see

[red flower]

and i think it would be easier for you if you name the context the same thing you did before

<@&1133519078540185692>

[high eagle]

ummm..... scammer?

[modern kindle]

<@&1133519078540185692>

oop

n got it

[next timber]

thats a nice tinyurl link you got there my man

where does it lead

[gusty iron]

how do i add malverk as a dependency for my mod?

im extremely new to modding sorry ;-;

[livid scroll]

Gave him a week timeout so he has a chance to regather his account

[modern kindle]

that was pretty...cool of you 😎

[high eagle]

function Card:change_suit(new_suit)
card_changes_suit(self, new_suit)
SMODS.calculate_context( { change_suit = true, changed_card = self } )
end
so it would be "change_suit"?

[next timber]

one could even say it was..

1010 cool..

[high eagle]

(dab)

[red flower]

yeah

[high eagle]

i see, ty

[red flower]

you need to check if the suit changed in set_base tho

[high eagle]

mhm mhm

[red flower]

because it will trigger if the rank changed

[high eagle]

so um. how, exactly, would i do that? would i need to redefine "set base" again?

[red flower]

you can do local original_suit = self.base.suit at the beginning and put calculate_context inside if self:is_suit(original_suit)

this doesn't take into account stone cards and stuff probably

[gusty iron]

could someone answer this?

[red flower]

does this help https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[gusty iron]

yeah

thank you

[copper ermine]

bump ( ´･ω･)

[high eagle]

wouldnt this only work if it changes to the original suit tho?

i want my joker to gain when it changes suits

[red flower]

context.buying_card for buying, for adding idk if there's a context or you need to hook something

[red flower]

i named it original suit as in the suit it was when set base was called, not the first one the game doesn't store that

[copper ermine]

thank you👍

[high eagle]

i seeeeeeeeeeee ty

[next timber]

ok how do i check the type (joker,playing card,consumeable) of a card?

[red flower]

card.ability.set

[next timber]

thx

[azure phoenix]

how would i make the game determine which hand is played after a joker modifies some cards (ex. play a two pair that would end up being a flush, how do i make it detect the flush)

[scarlet spire]

what localization field should custom consumables be in? Other?

[high eagle]

.... im sorry i need so much help

[gusty iron]

i have the thing all set up, but i need to know if i should make any changes to my lua code

[red flower]

what's the code looking like now?

[noble schooner]

one change I'd personally change is switching to notepad++, but that's just me

[high eagle]

local card_set_base_ref = Card.set_base
local original_suit = self.base.suit
function Card:set_base(card, initial)
card_set_base_ref(self, card, initial)
if self:is_suit(original_suit) then
return { SMODS.calculate_context ({ change_suit = true, changed_card = self }) }
end
end

[red flower]

switch to vscode or a proper code editor

[red flower]

local original_suit = self.base.suit should be inside the function before card_set_base_ref

[high eagle]

i see

[noble schooner]

oh, forgot to reply

[noble schooner]

^
I use notepad++ since it's lightweight and it does have syntax support for lua and json, so it's good enough for what I'm doing lol

[red flower]

i mean as long as it does what you need

[high eagle]

now it says that base is a nil value

[tepid crow]

anything's better than windows notepad 😭

[noble schooner]

wrong chat but LOL

[high eagle]

get yuried idiot

[noble schooner]

real

[red flower]

yuri!?

[noble schooner]

yes

also known as

based

[gleaming zealot]

the balatro discord server

[next timber]

lmao

[high eagle]

true

[noble schooner]

lol

true tho

[next timber]

true

[high eagle]

anyway yea idk why base is nuthing now

local card_set_base_ref = Card.set_base
function Card:set_base(card, initial)
local original_suit = self.base.suit
card_set_base_ref(self, card, initial)
if self:is_suit(original_suit) then
return { SMODS.calculate_context ({ change_suit = true, changed_card = self }) }
end
end

[red flower]

not entirely familiar with how set_base does things honestly

[high eagle]

fair enough

[gusty iron]

okay so its saying AltTextures is nil so like

what do i do

[noble schooner]

currently trying to find a way to make a joker that adds its own edition to played cards

[red flower]

oh don't return calculate context tho

[noble schooner]

the adding an edition part isn't the part that's confusing me

[tall apex]

just wrapped up the art for my joker c:

[noble schooner]

just wanting to know how I'd make it add its own edition to noneditioned cards

[plain apex]

yes that works thank you

[gusty iron]

do i need ot use this lua file

[high eagle]

it should be base.suit, if im reading the text corfrectly: self.base = {
name = self.config.card.name,
suit = self.config.card.suit,
value = self.config.card.value,
nominal = 0,
suit_nominal = 0,
face_nominal = 0,
colour = G.C.SUITS[self.config.card.suit],
times_played = 0
}

local rank = SMODS.Ranks[self.base.value] or {}
self.base.nominal = rank.nominal or 0
self.base.face_nominal = rank.face_nominal or 0
self.base.id = rank.id

if initial then self.base.original_value = self.base.value end

local suit = SMODS.Suits[self.base.suit] or {}
self.base.suit_nominal = suit.suit_nominal or 0
self.base.suit_nominal_original = suit_base_nominal_original or suit.suit_nominal or 0

if not initial and G.GAME and G.GAME.blind then G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(self) end
if self.playing_card and not initial then check_for_unlock({type = 'modify_deck'}) end

end

[red flower]

what's the difference with adding an edition?

[noble schooner]

bc it might have a different edition

[tall apex]

yay minecraft industrialism art

[red flower]

you need to check if it has an edition?

[noble schooner]

nonono

I need to check what edition it has

[scarlet spire]

can't seem to get my localization table to work, at all

[noble schooner]

then add that edition to played cards

[red flower]

isnt that just card.edition

[azure phoenix]

is there a context that is after the cards are played but before the played hand is determined

[noble schooner]

does it do that by defau-OHHH

[gusty iron]

^

[scarlet spire]

I'm fairly certain it's laid out correctly? isn't the loc entry just supposed to match in key?

[red flower]

never made a consumable so maybe I'm wrong but what if you change other for elemental

[high eagle]

...this is. new.

[scarlet spire]

already tried, i'll try again though?

[modern kindle]

thatll be 746 dollars and 93 cents, i expect it int he next 6 minutes

[scarlet spire]

I did see that cryptid uses Code as a loc category and I couldn't find any patches to hint at it being custom behavior

[gusty iron]

can someone give me a mod that uses malverk so i can get a reference?

[red flower]

i dont think so

[scarlet spire]

yeah Elemental = doesn't work

[modern kindle]

fantastic

[azure phoenix]

in that case, how would i check for other hands manually

[red flower]

idk

[azure phoenix]

ok

[scarlet spire]

a pre-scoring when played context might come with blindcalc, whenever that releases? since that's when press_play for boss blinds calculates

[red flower]

yeah

[azure phoenix]

are there any mods with jokers that change the suit of cards?

[charred halo]

is there a way to count instances of a card in your inventory

[red flower]

which type of card

[charred halo]

mb, a joker

[red flower]

#SMODS.find_card("j_key")

[gusty iron]

So I looked at the reference, and I seem to have mostly the exact same code, so could someone help me? its saying global "AltTexture" is a nil value

[charred halo]

can i just pop this anywhere and it'll just output a number?

[red flower]

yeah

SMODS.find_card("j_key") returns a list of all the jokers with key "j_key"
# gives you the length of the list

[next timber]

GIVE YOU THE LENGTH OF THE LIST

[red flower]

damn markdown

[warped marsh]

What is the text editor you’re using out of curiosity?

[noble schooner]

they're using notepad

[gusty iron]

notepad

[warped marsh]

Wowie that’s so cool

[noble schooner]

{
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.play, G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    full_hand = G.play.cards,
    scoring_hand = scoring_hand,
    scoring_name = text,
    poker_hands = poker_hands,
    before = true
}```
...how outdated is the wiki-?

[red flower]

why

[noble schooner]

oh it isn't outdated

[cursive root]

looks up to date to me

[noble schooner]

that function errored like three times when I plugged it in lol

[red flower]

the brackets at the bottom is what's inside of context

[scarlet spire]

okay. the issue was using an underscore in place of a dash in en-us

wonderful

[red flower]

lmao

[lofty axle]

new to balatro modding and lua in general, how would one go about changing the pitch of a sound based on the game speed if possible? this is giving an error lol

[noble schooner]

unexpected symbol

it causes a crash lol

[red flower]

what causes a crash

[noble schooner]

the brackets

[red flower]

you don't put that in your code literally

[noble schooner]

from that snippet of code

[cursive root]

well yeah

[noble schooner]

wha

[cursive root]

its documentation

[noble schooner]

why is it like that then

[cursive root]

not valid lua code

[warped marsh]

Oh Andromeda you are a Miku enjoyer right?

[noble schooner]

yeye

[noble schooner]

then why is it presented like it is?? 😭

[warped marsh]

What do you think of this new Joker I’m working on!

[noble schooner]

woaa :O

[gusty iron]

Changed the values around, and I got it to stop saying that, but now this is happening:

functions/misc_functions.lua:1691: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got string)

[noble schooner]

I love it!!

[modern kindle]

i wonder how many mikus we have across the modding scene

[foggy carbon]

Dizzy Miku?

[red flower]

this is read like:

if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then -- condition to check if you're in the context

-- this is what's inside of context in that condition
context = {
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.play, G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    full_hand = G.play.cards,
    scoring_hand = scoring_hand,
    scoring_name = text,
    poker_hands = poker_hands,
    before = true
}

[cursive root]

its an expression that, when true, means "context" is the table below it

[warped marsh]

Rotten girl miku

[warped marsh]

When a hand contains Face cards (Queen excluded) and contains a pair, create The Fool or Judgement

Although I’m still trying to figure out the Fool and Judgement aspect, can’t get them both

Well like it’ll either crash the game or it’s just the create the fool and never a judgement

[zealous glen]

You’ll get Brazilian Miku when I give her an effect

But the art is done

[red flower]

what are you using to create them

[warped marsh]

I wish I had the code right now but I’m on my phone right now

[red flower]

try something like

SMODS.add_card({key = "c_fool"})
SMODS.add_card({key = "c_judgement"})

[noble schooner]

just making sure

[warped marsh]

Oh. I did not use this at all

I did it completely differently

Wait I’ll have the code that’s close to it

[red flower]

using the smods function is probably the best way

[noble schooner]

scoring_hand:set_edition(edition, true)```
is this how you give played cards an edition before scoring?

[red flower]

it should be

[noble schooner]

alright, that's what I thought lol

[red flower]

oh wait what's scoring_hand

[noble schooner]

do I need to use an expression or smth

[red flower]

you want all played cards or all scored cards or what

[noble schooner]

all scored cards

[red flower]

you need to loop through context.scoring_hand

[warped marsh]

So get rid of domino and instead it was c_fool

[noble schooner]

h u h

[red flower]

yeah instead of

local new_card = create_card('Tarot', G.consumeables, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'domino')
new_card:add_to_deck()
G.consumeables:emplace(new_card)

just use SMODS.add_card

[gusty iron]

Okay so i got the game to load, but when i try to apply the texture, the game crashes, any fixes or do i need to give the error?

[red flower]

do u know what a loop is

[noble schooner]

nnnno

[warped marsh]

So do I just copy and paste what you typed out earlier into that?

Like key = blah blah

[red flower]

https://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.4.html

[red flower]

yeah

[gusty iron]

the error is on line 138 of maverk, saying its calling a "nil" value.

heres what my lua code looks like:

AltTexture({
    key = "jokers",
    set = "Joker",
    path = "JrJokers.png",
    original_sheet = true,
    keys = {
        "j_joker",
    },
    localization = {
       "j_joker",
    },
})

TexturePack({
    key = "jr_cards",
    textures = {
        "JJ_jokers",
    },
  loc_txt = { -- Localization text for tooltips displayed in the texture selection screen - can be added to a localization file under [descriptions][texture_packs]
    name = "Jr's Jokers!",
    text = {"Jokers, but they're replaced by Jr's friends!"}
  }
})

[warped marsh]

Okay thank you, will try it out tomorrow!!

[noble schooner]

okay, now how do I make sure that it does the thing for the scored hand?

[red flower]

for _, card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
   card:set_edition(your_edition, true)
end

I GOT IT TO WORK

OH MY GOD

THANK YOU GUYS!!

[azure phoenix]

a joker i added is appearing in the shop multiple times even though i dont have showman or anything

[noble schooner]

alrighty
Also, question, if I put the edition as card.edition, would that try to copy the edition of the scored card or the joker?

[red flower]

hmm maybe some functions do allow that

let me check

[zealous glen]

Do you know if SMODS adds a card to the deck when selling a card?

[red flower]

i think so

[upbeat bronze]

how do cards get that (Currently 1x Mult) text color

[zealous glen]

Do you know what for

[red flower]

oh that wasnt in response to you sorry

i dont know what you mean

[zealous glen]

I’m patching Card:add_to_deck to add a context to adding cards to the deck

But selling a card triggers my Joker

[red flower]

{C:inactive} ?

[red flower]

weird

[noble schooner]

well crap, it doesn't

[zealous glen]

Yeah. Either my calculate is poorly written or a card is being added somewhere; could be a SMODS thing

[zealous glen]

See .ability.edition

[noble schooner]

lemme make sure it works in the first place

oh, the function itself doesn't work

[scarlet spire]

yes... it works

[noble schooner]

was I supposed to replace the underscore with anything?

[red flower]

no

[noble schooner]

   if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
    for _, card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
   card:set_edition(e_polychrome, true)
end
  end
  end```

did I do anything wrong?

[red flower]

oh but if you're using card.edition you might need to change card to another name like playing_card

[red flower]

i think e_polychrome has to be a string

[noble schooner]

oh right, ty

[red flower]

or do {polychrome = true}

[noble schooner]

nope, didn't work still

[red flower]

try this

[noble schooner]

the problem is

I was just using polychrome as a test to see if the function works

I want it to copy the joker's edition

[red flower]

i know but does it work with that or not

[zealous glen]

Again see if this is the proper way to do it

[noble schooner]

...where do I put the {polychrome = true}

[red flower]

instead of e_polychrome

[zealous glen]

Or maybe look into card.edition if it’s a table

[noble schooner]

that's not the problem currently, the function to set the edition isn't working lol

[zealous glen]

And I think the argument might be wrong

Hence why it doesn’t work

[noble schooner]

which argument?

[zealous glen]

The one I told you to change

[noble schooner]

that's the one I'm using polychrome as a placeholder to test as

[gusty iron]

so uh

when i try to play a round of balatro with my custom textures, this error happens

functions/common_events.lua:2489: attempt to compare nil with number

[zealous glen]

You tried card.edition

[gusty iron]

did my save corrupt or did i just do something wrong

[zealous glen]

I said to try card.ability.edition

[noble schooner]

this is what I'm currently working with

   if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
    for _, card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
   card:set_edition({polychrome = true}, true)```

changing card.edition to something else didn't work, it's caused by something else

[zealous glen]

☝️

Or to see if .edition is a table and use that table to fetch the key

[red flower]

is this crashing?

[gusty iron]

can someone help with this please?

[noble schooner]

no

it's just not doing anything

[zealous glen]

Do you have cryptid

[noble schooner]

did you put 1x and 2x variants?

[gusty iron]

yeah

[zealous glen]

Oh wait I misread

[gusty iron]

would updating 2x but not 1x cause this or no

[zealous glen]

It’s nil and table

[noble schooner]

probably

[noble schooner]

also, to answer this, it's not crashing, it's just not doing anything

[gusty iron]

still crashing with the same error

[noble schooner]

then I couldn't tell you

wait, is this for a mod?

[tall apex]

i wanna make a joker that scales up other jokers but idk if thats something im learning tonight oml

[red flower]

the context was wrong do

if context.before and context.main_eval then
    for _, pcard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        pcard:set_edition(card.edition, true)
    end
end

[lament agate]

im going to

mod every sounds in game

reshuffled style

[noble schooner]

reverse all of the sounds

make Ortalab

[gusty iron]

what i did was:

Use maverk to replace 2 jokers (Normal, and Chaos the Clown)
Boot up the game
Try to play a round
Game Crashes

[lament agate]

im not that good at creating sfx,,,,

[noble schooner]

hm, no clue then

[noble schooner]

okay, that didn't work either

[red flower]

i just tested this and it did what you wanted

[noble schooner]

neither did card.edition

oh you did pcard

[red flower]

no, the problem is the context

[noble schooner]

oh yeyeye the function itself works

I'm just trying to figure out how to make it use the joker's edition

OKAY IT WORKS NOW

YIPPIE

[red flower]

i mean the condition was wrong

[noble schooner]

yeah

everything works now

WOOO

[tall apex]

yibeeeeeeeeee c:

[noble schooner]

alright, now to figure out how to guarantee that it has an edition lol

[azure phoenix]

how would one implement the shaking animation with delays when a joker triggers

[gusty iron]

Okay so yeah it just corrupted my save

booted up a new save and its perfectly normal

can we get an rip for my level 2 save 😔

[upbeat bronze]

ty

ok i managed to get it to actually display correctly and not crash on startup, better than it was, now to actually make the effect work

[noble schooner]

okay so me using poll_edition just causes a crash for some reason

[upbeat bronze]

does anyone have the code for Canio? or should i bite the bullet and just unzip balatro so i have it all myself (and if so how would i do that)

[noble schooner]

open up the exe file in 7zip or winrar and just extract it

it's completely unobfuscated lol

I forgot to hit save, checks out lol

[upbeat bronze]

hmm

trying to even find what lua theyre listed in and unless im blind

i cant find em

[noble schooner]

can someone help me with this btw

[red flower]

what do you mean by guarantee

[reef belfry]

Which one looks the lamest

[azure phoenix]

probably the second but they all look good

[noble schooner]

like it'll always spawn with an edition

[red flower]

you can probably give it a random edition in set_ability

[noble schooner]

I tried that

it crashes

  poll_edition("Sage", 1, true, true, {"e_foil", "e_holo", "e_negative", "cry_mosaic", "cry_oversat", "cry_gold", "cry_astral"})```

whenever I try to load the joker

[thorn ridge]

what would be a good way to ban all the jokers besides ones under a certain prefix.

for a challenge

[noble schooner]

how would I do that
poll_edition causes an smods related crash

[red flower]

set_edition(poll_edition(...)) should work

but idk the exact syntax

[red flower]

as in card:set_edition

[noble schooner]

ah, right

nope

still doesn't work

here's the syntax

[noble schooner]

I tried setting the table but it caused this crash

ohhh, I think one of the cryptid editions are bugged rn

idk why else it'd give that error

[azure phoenix]

is there a way to make the cards change suit at the same time as the message pops up?

[upbeat bronze]

where are the base balatro jokers data stored in balatro's lua files? I've searched card.lua and cannot find em

[azure phoenix]

which one are you looking for

[upbeat bronze]

Canio

[red flower]

Canio is misspelled as Caino in game

btw

[upbeat bronze]

AH

THAT EXPLAINS IT

[minor furnace]

how on earth do I keep a custom consumeable from showing up in the shop

[upbeat bronze]

lol

ty

[red flower]

return false for in_pool?

[minor furnace]

I tried that and it didn't work as far as I could tell

wait let me try starting a fresh run...

I'm even dumber

shop_rate = 0 since this is a custom type

[upbeat bronze]

hmm trying to understand this

so to reuse this i would have to define a local variable such as Faces but instead for total cards destroyed

[final wagon]

is there a way to get an array of all jokers, including modded ones?

[thorn ridge]

.

[upbeat bronze]

and have that variable multiplied by my xmult factor? yeah?

[rapid stag]

under what condition does the game use 2x assets?

[red flower]

you need to return a func with an event

[red flower]

when pixel smoothing is on

[rapid stag]

i see, thanks. i wondered if that's what that did

[red flower]

idk if it's a good way but i do that in my mod so that only cards from it appear by hooking get_current_pool

[azure phoenix]

i assume thats this: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[thorn ridge]

in what

[red flower]

yeah in the return put
func = function() G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({...})) end

[red flower]

in what what

[azure phoenix]

ok, thanks

[thorn ridge]

im confused on where to use this

[rugged star]

Is there a way to do the opposite of a dependency? or like, an incompatibility with a mod

[red flower]

do you know what hooking is

[red flower]

yes, there are conflicts

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[scarlet spire]

how can I apply a custom sticker to a card that already exists?

i'm trying to look it up here and finding tons of conflicting info

[minor furnace]

I might need to install Cryptid for the sole purpose of debugging when people report crashes with Cryptid active

[thorn ridge]

I cant seem to find an example to follow for a booster pack

[red flower]

i just reply "sad" and move on when they report talisman or cryptid crashes idk how to solve

[scarlet spire]

do stickers have a specific prefix like other objects?

[red flower]

oh for a booster pack is easier to create an objecttype
i have some examples in my mod but they might be hard to follow

[thorn ridge]

it just would be nice to have any example

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/others/ObjectTypes.lua

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/others/Boosters.lua

there

[thorn ridge]

What is the objectypes doing

[red flower]

it creates a custom group of your objects basically

[thorn ridge]

im confused as to what this is doing

[red flower]

that's why i said it was hard to follow 🙂

it's basically looking for all the jokers that start with "j_joy" and then putting them in groups depending on their qualities in my mod

you care about that first part only probably

[thorn ridge]

yeah

my brain hurts

[lucid owl]

would there be a surefire way to check when a card is enhanced? or should i attempt a hook?

[red flower]

card.ability.set == "Enhanced"

[lucid owl]

that works to check if a card is enhanced, but i'd need to have something activate when one is enhanced. so far i'm thinking a hook on set_ability() but i had wanted to check if there was a guaranteed way to make sure without hooking

[red flower]

ohh yeah i don't think there is

[upbeat bronze]

anyone willing to guide me through this?

trying to make the joker gain x0.3 mult per card destroyed, ive copied some stuff over from canio but its crashing and im not exactly sure why

dont have enough knowledge to know why

im trying to get this atleast working with playing cards without getting frustrated as i was earlier

[cursive root]

key will be nil

keys are also prefixed with the type (in this case "j_") followed by your mod prefix

if you need the key its at center.key (card.config.center.key)

i dont think you need to check it though

[upbeat bronze]

well basically i just want it to only apply if its the flowey joker

[cursive root]

it will

since its the calculate function for the flowey joker

[upbeat bronze]

and as i said im not really knowledgable enough on how to define that, assumed that referencing key would work

canio has this if self.ability.name == 'Caino' and not context.blueprint then and i wasnt sure how to really

make that work

for something else

[earnest perch]

Is this the appropriate place to ask about modding errors?

[cursive root]

vanilla code needs to do that since hte calculate is lumped into one big function ran for every joker

your calculate only runs for your joker

[cursive root]

either this or #⚙・modding-general works

[earnest perch]

Got this error during a run, honestly do not know enough about modding to understand why it messed up

[upbeat bronze]

man this is rough

uh

[minor furnace]

you have like a million mods active

[upbeat bronze]

probably the most ugly code anyone in here has ever saw lets be real

[cursive root]

fusion jokers isnt compatible with talisman

im pretty sure youre using an old outdated version anyways but more recent forks arent compatible either

[earnest perch]

ah okay

[red flower]

I've seen far worse don't worry

the chatgpt ones are my favorites

[cursive root]

ive written worse

[earnest perch]

I was just trying to get as many working as I could tbh

[upbeat bronze]

yeah but atleast it was probably functional

now im getting a gamecrash and im not sure why

what shouldve been a simple like maybe 3 hour adventure has turned into 10

and counting

honestly if i had money at this point i'd pay to have someone take this damn problem away from me im very much done with fighting to learn it

im writing code and have 0 understanding on what any of it is doing, im trying to actively copy other code and apply it to my own joker and it just doesnt work

[red flower]

1. the line that says self.ability.extra.xmult = ... should have all the self replaced with card

2. the second return is wrong, you don't return what it says on the wiki, that's what's inside context

3. you should read what the crash log says or at least send it as well

[upbeat bronze]

second return being the first in calculate?

[red flower]

sorry i mean the second in calculate

[lament agate]

how do you fix mods not appearing

[upbeat bronze]

ah

[upbeat bronze]

is that section even doing anything or can i just delete it outright i legit dont know

[red flower]

you can delete it

unless you want to also want to display a message when it upgrades or something

[upbeat bronze]

nah

???

[unkempt thicket]

Why doesn't this work? is it because its the being of a run or?

[upbeat bronze]

man coding is stupid

[red flower]

oh one more thing, lua is case sensitive so it's going to crash because sometimes you use xmult instead of Xmult

[cursive root]

no clue what deckgroups is

[main mica]

forgot end

[upbeat bronze]

of course it is.

because lets not make things simple

[noble schooner]

okay, I have returnedeth

[cursive root]

guh

[upbeat bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/banging-head-bang-gif-12070477

[unkempt thicket]

Its a custom list, i've alreday made the checks all the if statements return true at the start of a round

[noble schooner]

  card:set_edition(poll_edition("Sage", 1, true, true), true)
  end,```
why this crash

[cursive root]

surely making it case insensitive wouldnt add extra complexity and extra overhead

[unkempt thicket]

but it crashes when the deck turns the card to said suit

[upbeat bronze]

surely making everything be
CARDNAME does THING if REQUIREMENT
would be simple 🙂

[cursive root]

i cant tell if youre serious

[upbeat bronze]

mostly not

but man i will not miss whenever ai is smart enough to actually write functional code so art people like me dont have to toil in the pits of whatever level of hell this is

[scarlet spire]

anyone who understands balatro's pool system a bit more than me, is there any possible reason tarot merchant voucher (tarot cards appear 2X more likely) sets the tarot_rate from 4 to... 9.6, instead of 8?
