[upbeat bronze]

Dont know where i'd even put it in my file, dont know how i'd fill it with jokers, dont know why im even doing this if im so dumb where i need help every simple step of the way ngl

[frosty dock]

i don't think so

[tall salmon]

is there a context that's after a consumable resolves? like context.consumeable and context.using_consumeable are before the actual effect of the consumable triggers

[frosty dock]

pretty sure you can use an event in context.using_consumeable

[manic rune]

this is smt i wrote about tables

not sure if it will help with explaining that much

[frosty dock]

there's no post-consumable context

[frosty dock]

i hate the use of table as a local var in this 🥴

[manic rune]

cards are also just a huge table, you can see them that way

[manic rune]

i did say it was a bad practice below, i forgot 💔

[red flower]

the game is a huge table

[manic rune]

balatro the table

[next timber]

dinner will be ready soon can you help set the Balatro

[manic rune]

balatro with the fine china would be perfect

"babe the guests are coming, bring out the fine china"

[next timber]

(puts a scribbled on napkin and a blueprint for a clown on the table)

[upbeat bronze]

wait would this be useful to what im trying to do?

[red flower]

what are you trying to do

[onyx sonnet]

trigger an effect if a joker from a table is trigerred

[upbeat bronze]

make this effect work

[onyx sonnet]

i think they need to also enable post_trigger, right?

[red flower]

probably not, you don't need to find the joker you need to find when it triggers

[hard flume]

i still dont know why this isnt working

[upbeat bronze]

at this point im just diving through the github to see if i can find anything i can yoink that'll get me vaguely close to what im trying to do and its not working

maybe i am just actually dumb

[red flower]

I mean, it's a somewhat complicated effect. I wouldn't know how to do it without diving into the code

[frosty dock]

you're destroying all scored cards if the leftmost unplayed card is a dream card

[hard flume]

Oh it's supposed to only destroy the left most played card.

[upbeat bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/hands-up-whatever-gif-24288314

yall have a nice night

[hard flume]

I think I know how to do that.

[upbeat bronze]

time for me to start drinking lmao

[frosty dock]

you need to check the enhancement on context.destroy_card, not some other card

[manic rune]

don't drink too much

[hard flume]

Oh

[frosty dock]

also that's not exactly the effect your description claims, it says it destroys the first played dream card, shouldn't matter if it's leftmost in the played hand

[scarlet spire]

still wondering this

[frosty dock]

you could set a temporary ability value once you've destroyed a card in this hand, and reset that in context.before

[hard flume]

Oh okay

[frosty dock]

it goes both ways. the newly introduced blind context works on all calculations, and blinds can use all other contexts

[scarlet spire]

I see, thanks! i'll have to figure out what i'm doing wrong here

[frosty dock]

what smods version are you running?

[scarlet spire]

most recent, just installed it earlier today after noticing the blindcalc commit

[frosty dock]

kk

i can try to help if you show your code

[scarlet spire]

here it is

[next timber]

so why isn't this giving me a hand size of 12?

[rapid stag]

...how's your UI knowledge?

i've actually been bashing my head against a wall trying to figure out how to properly get my mod config UI to not act the way it is and failing, it's been giving me no end of grief. no matter what it try to do, it always wants to be all the way to the left. and if i don't restrain the size, it tries to be unnecessarily huge. and i don't understand why. anll i want is for this to be in the middle and to fit on the screen. that's it.

shown code gets returned directly into SMODS.current_mod.config_tab by way of an assert(SMODS.load_file()) so as a result, this thing is its own file that gets to sit in the corner because of what it's doing i'm happy to share it if it means reining this endless annoyance in

[thorn ridge]

How do I properly set up a deck?

[sturdy compass]

What are you trying to do? Also McClaren sweep

[thorn ridge]

I just want the Name and Description to work

Unfamiliar with how decks work

[thorn ridge]

(Mclaren sweep deezs nuts)

[paper zealot]

First issue that i can see is that you have Columns nested inside Columns inside Columns. For the flexbox to size itself properly, you always have to alternate Rows and Columns

[tall salmon]

this worked

thank you

[sturdy compass]

For that you need to set up a loc_txt attribute to the deck. This holds the display name of the deck as well as a table of strings for the description. Should look something like this:

[thorn ridge]

this is what i figured

just wasn't sure and im a lil stupid

[sturdy compass]

All g

[rapid stag]

do i have to start with rows or columns or does the order not matter

[next timber]

this feels like it should be easy what have i managed to screw up

[paper zealot]

It depends on your UI layout. For yours because of the centred top text, start with a column containing 3 rows: the two text rows, and a third container for your panels.
Then in that container, two columns, one for each of the blue-bordered containers.
Then a bunch of rows within those containers, each containing one toggle only

In your case just changing the options column wrappers to R might do the trick

[high eagle]

does anyone here have an understanding of how "set bae' works?

base*

[unkempt thicket]

How do i edit base game objects pool settings?

[rapid stag]

you might have to take ownership of them for that

[tall salmon]

this is 100% a shot in the dark but have you tried taking G.GAME.starting_params.hand_size out of the event?

[onyx sonnet]

hmmm

something's a little wrong with this

[sturdy compass]

hmmmmmmmmm

[glad osprey]

help

[knotty copper]

For organization is possible to split the code in the main lua file into multiple lua files which are referenced in the main one?

[glad osprey]

yes

[sturdy compass]

yes

[knotty copper]

How do I do that?

[glad osprey]

assert(SMODS.load_file("filepath.lua"))()

[paper zealot]

Or separate Lovely modules, which i would argue is a neater way to do it

[knotty copper]

👍 k will take a look at that later

[unkempt thicket]

How do i use this correctly?

how do i return a card to hand?

[glad osprey]

how do i check if a card is scoring

nvrm

[glad osprey]

bump

[zealous glen]

from where? when?

[hard flume]

I want a card to have a chance to return to hand after it's been played.

[zealous glen]

Reminds me of the demo's Gold Seal

Anyways, you can just use oneof the draw functions

not those draw functions the other draw functions

There's CardArea:draw_card_from

(or was it CardArea:draw_card_to?)

and another one whose name I forget

[onyx sonnet]

Im trying to make a joker like blueprint, but this doesnt seem to be doing anything, any idea why?

[zealous glen]

The timing can be annoying though

You'll probably need some Event manipulation

[zealous glen]

you can use SMODS.blueprint_effect

[noble schooner]

how do I make a joker give a seal to played cards?

[hard flume]

I can also just use G.hand:emplace

[onyx sonnet]

yes, that is what im doing

[noble schooner]

there's nothing in the wiki about doing that lol

[onyx sonnet]

there is

[noble schooner]

where?

smods.seal says nothing

[zealous glen]

that's skipping some other things that happen when you draw I think

[onyx sonnet]

oh wait its not in the wiki?

[hard flume]

Oh yeah, but I just want it to return to hand. Not to be drawn again

[noble schooner]

it only has the references for making a seal

[zealous glen]

Returning it to hand is drawing it

[noble schooner]

not giving it

so nope

[onyx sonnet]

give me a sec

[zealous glen]

probably Card:apply_seal or something like that

[hard flume]

Oh Oops then yeah. I'll try CardArea:draw_card_from

I'll need to look at the code to see how to apply it though

[onyx sonnet]

card:set_seal('Purple'/'Red'/Whatever, true)

where card is the playing card you're modifying

[fallen osprey]

what is the variable for gaining xmult

[zealous glen]

this is only for UI purposes

[fallen osprey]

oh

zoinks

then how

[onyx sonnet]

yeah thats the text that shows up inthe joker description

[fallen osprey]

im assuming i have to calculate it

[onyx sonnet]

does your joker calculation have a return table

[noble schooner]

ty!

[fallen osprey]

but how do I do so

im new btw so it will be like explaining to a toddler

[onyx sonnet]

what are you trying to do exactly

[zealous glen]

From the wiki

[fallen osprey]

Every ante gain xmult

[onyx sonnet]

i still dont get what you mean by this, i have it in my code

[onyx sonnet]

in your calc function you're gonna do a big if statement that checks for a few things

like did the round end, is this a boss blind

[fallen osprey]

so there isnt a setting_blind but for antes I assume

[zealous glen]

oops I can't read

[onyx sonnet]

not to my knowledge

            card.ability.extra.active = true
            card.ability.extra.text= "active"
            juice_card_until(card,function(card02) return card02.ability.extra.active == true end, true)
        end
    end
}```

[zealous glen]

Maybe ask Eremel then idk

[onyx sonnet]

this is a codeblock for an effect i have when an ante increases

you're just gonna use those same if conditions and instead of my activation stuff, you'll have something like

[fallen osprey]

do the gain for xmult

[onyx sonnet]

card.ability.extra.xmult= card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.scaling

[fallen osprey]

tysm

[onyx sonnet]

np

[glad osprey]

bump 2

[onyx sonnet]

i have no idea how to help you

[glad osprey]

sob

[onyx sonnet]

if you want you can also have a little message popup for it

[fallen osprey]

yeah, how?

[onyx sonnet]

Do you just want to display text or do you want to display the value

[fallen osprey]

Display Value

[onyx sonnet]

      card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult + card.ability.extra.scaling
      return {
          message = "X"..card.ability.extra.x_mult,
          colour = G.C.MULT,
      }
    end``` this is some code i use for upgrading a joker, you're gonna want to look at the stuff after return

what those two dots do is they concateante the X with the numerical value of your Xmult

So you get X3 for example

colour can be whatever, although typically for Xmult its red

[fallen osprey]

wait

my values are xnil now

wtf

[onyx sonnet]

show me your uh

extra variables

[fallen osprey]

oh

[onyx sonnet]

the ones in config

[fallen osprey]

i fucked it up

oopsie

holy fuck m y pc is so slow

imma restart

[unkempt thicket]

what pool are suits in the base ones

[dense adder]

Does anyone know of a way to make sure the card.ability.extra.money = card.ability.extra.money - card.ability.extra.money_gain triggers after the gold card counts in hand, currently it keeps triggering before the gold increase

        if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_gold') then
          return {
              dollars = card.ability.extra.money
          }
        end
      end
      if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        card.ability.extra.money = card.ability.extra.money - card.ability.extra.money_gain
      end```

[onyx sonnet]

i think you can do this by using an event? events can be delayed and can have a priority which makes it easier to manage when they get executed

[dense adder]

that should work, its needed anyways when the bonus hits 0 and the joker implodes

[tawdry coyote]

Does anyone know how I could make a wee joker but for multiplier? I've been trying but I'm struggeling a bit

[onyx sonnet]

what are you struggling with

[minor furnace]

like, it gains Mult for every 2 scored?

also the easiest solution: look at the code for Wee Joker and modify it

[fallen osprey]

uh oh

[errant fulcrum]

I dont have any "juice_up" in my code, does anyone know whats happening?

[onyx sonnet]

send me your code

[fallen osprey]

like in dm or just here?

[onyx sonnet]

its attempting to call juice up in the vanilla game code, you are doing something wrong in your return table i reckon, send it here

[onyx sonnet]

here

so if i say anything stupid someone smarter can correct me

[frosty dock]

you probably have card = self somewhere

[errant fulcrum]

Oh my god

Yup

[frosty dock]

card = card would be correct but is also not needed, you can just remove it

[fallen osprey]

Just the joker, doesn't have the other ones:

[onyx sonnet]

the message return has x_mult instead of Xmult

[tawdry coyote]

For some reason when modifying it to mult, it keeps crashing and giving the message that mults value was nil for some odd reason

[onyx sonnet]

it technically doesnt matter which of the two you use, but it needs to be consistent

[tawdry coyote]

Give me a minute, I can bring up the code in a second

[fallen osprey]

kk i'll try that

[onyx sonnet]

👍

[frosty dock]

also this should just be return { x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }

[unkempt thicket]

what pool are suits in the base ones

[onyx sonnet]

even the message part?

[tawdry coyote]

{
    key = 'binary',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Binary',
        text = {
            'Gains {C:mult}+#1# {}Mult',
            'if played hand',
            'contains {C:attention}Ace{} or {C:attention}10{}',
            '{+:mult,C:white}+#1#{} Mult'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    rarity = 2, --rarity: 1 = Common, 2 = Uncommon, 3 = Rare, 4 = Legendary
    
    cost = 5,
    unlocked = true, 
    discovered = true, 
    blueprint_compat = true, 
    eternal_compat = false, 
    perishable_compat = false, 
    pos = {x = 1, y = 0},
    config = {
        extra = {
            mult = 4,
            mult_mod = 4
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.mult_mod}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 14 or context.other_card:get_id() == 10 then

                    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
                    return {
                    message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                    colour = G.C.MULT,
                    card = card
                    }
                end
                if context.joker_main then
                return {
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } },
                    mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
end,
}```

[frosty dock]

yeah, it has an automatic message

[tawdry coyote]

Give me a second for the message

[onyx sonnet]

oh wait thats for applying Xmult

[frosty dock]

the one that only has a message is fine, it just needs to use the correctly spelled ability value

[onyx sonnet]

mhm

aure could you help me with a blueprint joker?

[tawdry coyote]

Wait

[onyx sonnet]

i cant figure out why it isnt doing anything

[fallen osprey]

still not working

[tawdry coyote]

Wait i'm actually so confused, it's literally working now

[onyx sonnet]

what error do you get

[fallen osprey]

same one

[tawdry coyote]

Okay, don't mind my problem, keep helping others!@onyx sonnet

[frosty dock]

oml the formatting on this

[onyx sonnet]

you're still using xmult instead of the correct one, Xmult

its case sensitive

[fallen osprey]

bro

i edited the wrong file

oopsie daisy

[onyx sonnet]

[frosty dock]

i don't think that's how you use SMODS.blueprint_effect

[onyx sonnet]

what's the correct way to use it?

[frosty dock]

it does most of the code you have here for you, and you just return the result

[onyx sonnet]

you didnt define the scaling ability

only Xmult

[fallen osprey]

oopsie daisy (part 3)

[onyx sonnet]

add it to the config.extra table

[fallen osprey]

do I just do scaling = 1 or something else

[frosty dock]

replace this with ```lua
if pseudorandom('bad photocopy') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
end

[onyx sonnet]

will do, thanks aure 🫡

[onyx sonnet]

well its the value you're increasing your joker's Xmult by

so you choose whatever

[unkempt thicket]

what pool are the base suits in?

[fallen osprey]

yeah i wasnt sure wether it was like +1 or somehting

[onyx sonnet]

well you have it as addition in your code

[frosty dock]

wdym

[onyx sonnet]

so you could have any number in existence probably

[unkempt thicket]

like spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds. i want to know so i can remove them

[covert scroll]

Whats the easiest way to make something blueprint compatiable, I just have a basic mod that does x mult on certain cards

[frosty dock]

i know what you mean by base suits

[onyx sonnet]

since its xmult = xmult + scaling
xmult = 1 + 1 = 2
next ante its gonna be xmult = 2 + 1 = 3

if you have scaling as 1 that is

[fallen osprey]

i have it like this but its still throwing the error did i miss something

[onyx sonnet]

did you save the file before launching the game

[frosty dock]

anything is blueprint compatible that you don't specifically exclude in code

[fallen osprey]

yeah

[frosty dock]

for the display, set blueprint_compat = true on the joker

[sonic cedar]

guys how can i set up an options menu
like turning certain jokers on and off (i have two separate joker files)

[onyx sonnet]

wait

did you copy my upgrade code 😭

that has variables that dont exist in base game

[fallen osprey]

oh

[onyx sonnet]

ofc its gonna give you errors

[fallen osprey]

shit

oopsie daisy

[frosty dock]

i still don't know how or why you want to remove them, or what you even want to remove them from

[onyx sonnet]

instead of copying the if

just copu the return table

copy

[chrome widget]

Is there a way to force a card to skip a red seal repetition?

Actually hmm I think it's easier to just not do it on cards that already have seals tbh

[unkempt thicket]

Like the pool, modded suits have an in_pool function, and i want to remove them so this doesn't happen.

[frosty dock]

in_pool isn't specific to something being modded

[tall tangle]

POUNDS, YUAN, EUROS, AND DOLLARS AS SUITS???

[frosty dock]

you can just declare one on the base suit by taking ownership

[tall tangle]

Or is that Yen... I can never tell.

[unkempt thicket]

But doesn't taking ownership mess with stuff?

[frosty dock]

how so

[unkempt thicket]

its yen

[frosty dock]

it just changes a value

[fallen osprey]

but put it where because i dont know what to put it as so it does that every ante

[frosty dock]

in this case, the in_pool function

[onyx sonnet]

well you already have the check for scaling

[frosty dock]

having it return false during the initial deck check also removes the base suits from being added to your starting deck

[onyx sonnet]

just add the return after the xmult = xmult + scaling part

[unkempt thicket]

Oh, i thought it could have some cross-mod incompatibility

[frosty dock]

i guess so, if another mod also changes the same value and doesn't do so in a compatible way

you can do something similar to hooking the in_pool function by referencing the previous function, should it exist

but it won't mess with anything other than this specific function

[scarlet spire]

is there a way to manually trigger debuffs to recalculate? like if I have a blind that changes which cards are debuffed mid-blind

[noble schooner]

sigh

I hate github

shit's not letting me delete old files

[scarlet spire]

it seems like debuffs are only updated at the start of the blind and then at the end to remove them

[noble schooner]

anyone have a better alternative to github?

[hushed field]

There's a recalc for debuffs, iirc

[fallen osprey]

im sorry but huh

[frosty dock]

call G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(card) on each card you want to recalculate

[scarlet spire]

oh, alright thanks

[frosty dock]

uh how so

[noble schooner]

I tried deleting them, github said they were deleted

reloaded and the files were back

[frosty dock]

I'm not sure what you're using for github to be in your files or if you just mean git

[noble schooner]

nonono

I meant

in the repo

[frosty dock]

are you doing that on the github website or what

[noble schooner]

yeah

[frosty dock]

do you not have a local repo

[noble schooner]

wdym

[frosty dock]

a git repo on your machine tracking the remote github repo

[noble schooner]

h u h

brain isn't braining rn

[frosty dock]

oh so you don't know git

[errant fulcrum]

This is supposed to add chips to the joker but it stays at 0. What am I doing wrong?

[frosty dock]

yeah i wouldn't exclusively use the github website to manage a repo

[frosty dock]

the return of a calculate function is for effects that happen in-game in some way

move it out and remove the excess =

[errant fulcrum]

Oh

[zealous glen]

can you even write updates directly on GitHub???

[fallen osprey]

you are peak

[frosty dock]

with the regular github website, you can really only edit single files

using git on your machine locally is much more practical, but working with git can take some getting used to

[zealous glen]

I didn't even know it was possible to edit directly on the website

[sonic cedar]

i didnt specify earlier mb
i have a main file, then two seaprates for the different joker sections.
i want the option to turn off or on a set of jokers. i'm GUESSING it'll be something to do with load_file???

[frosty dock]

besides uploads, at least. there's an edit button

[onyx sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/800-000-000-pestrica-pestrica-points-rich-jester-gif-13932382034059795495

congrats on making your joker

[frosty dock]

this is the only file I ever use it for

[fallen osprey]

DUDASDAS IM SO HAPPY TYSM

IT WORKS

wait

hol up

imma make it so it says the right thing

[onyx sonnet]

add scaling to your loc vars

[fallen osprey]

i did

just gotta fix color now

[onyx sonnet]

👍

[sonic cedar]

take "Mult" out of the highlight though

[fallen osprey]

what im doing

[sonic cedar]

oh k

[fallen osprey]

how do i make the currently grey, what is the color

[minor furnace]

isaac mentioned 👀

[fallen osprey]

have it like this rn

[tall salmon]

inactive

[manic rune]

C:inactive

[fallen osprey]

ty

[sonic cedar]

hehehe

[fallen osprey]

peak

[minor furnace]

what is that joker next to it that looks like blueprint + lusty + gluttonous etc.

[fallen osprey]

beginners worst nightmare

[minor furnace]

x1 mult lmao

[fallen osprey]

not supposed to be that

gotta fix it

[minor furnace]

what's the sprite all the way to the right? I know the others

[fallen osprey]

Icecream

[tall salmon]

ice cream prolly

with the 100 chips

[minor furnace]

ohhh you're definitely right

[unkempt thicket]

How do I return the value from the original function instead of true?

When taking ownership

[fallen osprey]

my test run is dead bruh

[tall salmon]

card sharp the eye

ender of many

[fallen osprey]

exactly

[fallen osprey]

im not cheating wdym

still lost bruH 😭😭

[tall salmon]

what the

what mod is that

[fallen osprey]

debug plus

[gentle rain]

currently trying to think of how to implement a joker that turns into a random uncommon joker each round
initially, i thought that when a blind is selected, it would destroy itself, create an uncommon joker, and give that joker the same ability of self destruction and uncommon creation, but then i checked the perma-bonuses page of the smods wiki and realized all it does is change values like chips n mult

[fallen osprey]

also really useful for spawning jokers (CTRL+3 in while hovering over the joker in collection btw)

[chrome widget]

Can you delay debuff sprites in the same way you can delay sprite changes for setting the card's center?

[gentle rain]

would it be considered bad practice to look at the code of other people's mods for the sake of reference

[tall salmon]

i've been using a random mod i found on awesome-balatro to do that

[chrome widget]

stealing code is good and encouraged

[tall salmon]

nice to have an all in one

[chrome widget]

Intellectual property is a sham, yada yada

Go wild

[gentle rain]

is this meant to be read sarcastically or

[chrome widget]

No

[tall salmon]

it's great practice i'd say

[gentle rain]

oh hi keku

[weak brook]

it's fine so long as you credit it imo

[gentle rain]

yeah i plan to

[weak brook]

you could just like have a lil comment above the code you imported

[manic rune]

not at all

[weak brook]

-- This is from such and such

[gentle rain]

yeye

[manic rune]

id be going to jail if its bad

[gentle rain]

was gonna look at how odious joker did it

turnin into another joker

[weak brook]

odious joker isnt turning into another joker so much as it is switching modes

[gentle rain]

ohhhh

[weak brook]

i have actually made code for transforming jokers directly though

but it wouldnt be reliable for what you're doing cause i havent figured out a way to get it to be able to transform itself once its already been transformed, cause all its calculation code gets rewritten to the new form's

[quartz ravine]

This is weird, I am supposed to be playing a sound when we review a card held in hand but it is is playing like all of my sound effects at once

[weak brook]

actually to be completely clear i didnt make the code it was repurposed from ortalab

[gentle rain]

i had an idea of like, creating a custom sticker that has the ability of turning into another uncommon joker with the same sticker

[weak brook]

oh that's definitely doable then

[gentle rain]

so you dont need the headache of applying the ability recursively

[weak brook]

the transforming code i've used retains editions and stuff so the sticker can run the code to transform it again and again

[gentle rain]

could i see it please

i didnt consider editions and other stickers thatd be useful

[weak brook]

yeah it's on the cardsauce repo, search for G.FUNCS.transform_card in main.lua

[gentle rain]

ty!

[dense adder]

this worked thanks

[next timber]

how do i colour the square behind a message return? like how with the ice cream joker the losing chips message has a blue square instead of yellow

[weak brook]

colour = G.C.RED or whatever in the return statement

[next timber]

awesome

thx

love that this game is written in non-american english for once

[weak brook]

it was difficult for me to get used to writing that as a non-canadian

[raw geyser]

Got a mac user that can't get the SMODS patches to work. They're just not patching any SMODS files

[next timber]

it was difficult to put the letters together

[tepid crow]

known issue, lovely dev is aware

[gentle rain]

so looking through the code, G.P_CENTERS refers to properties that a given card has, right? (edition, enhancement, seal, sticker)

specifically balatro's card.lua i'm looking through

[weak brook]

centers are basically the prototypes for most items in the game

they have most of the critical info for initializing them

[gentle rain]

mm

[versed swan]

Where are lovely crash logs located?

Something in my mod is crashing the game, but it just closes entirely without displaying the crash screen

[quartz ravine]

%AppData%\Balatro\mods\lovely

[versed swan]

thank you

[scarlet spire]

is there a way to check when a consumable is created? I want a blind to destroy all consumables that are created during the round

[quartz ravine]

I recommend using the CMtrace log viewer, it will stream in real time and highlights lines with warning and error

[scarlet spire]

I currently have it destroying them when the blind starts, but this doesn't account for consumables that get created mid-round

[main mica]

hey chat what would the correct pattern be if i want to change pseudoseed('boss')?
I tried pseudoseed\(\'boss\'\) and it didnt match

[red flower]

if it's a pattern then just pseudoseed('boss')

[main mica]

with " commas?

that doesn't work

[red flower]

i mean both should work so maybe the target is not right?

what line are you targeting?

[main mica]

line ~2621 in common_events

it looks the same in the vanilla code and my lovely dump

[frosty dock]

if you have a pattern patch, you need to target the full line

[glad osprey]

bump 2 2; electric boogaloo

[frosty dock]

if you have a regex patch, you need to escape the parentheses but not the quotes

[main mica]

alright, thanks!

[humble dagger]

So I am trying to set up an enhancement for a card and I have the code for it all set up... BUT I have no idea how to code the consumable that is going to give said enhancement, like what lines do i have to put so the consumable applies the enhancement?

all i know is MAYBE i put something like with a seal like this but beyond that i have no idea (the example mod i have been using to help has no enhancement example sadly)

[gaunt thistle]

still working on a fix. it's complicated

[glad osprey]

no like guys seriously tho i need help

[maiden phoenix]

Cryptid has a code card that does that iirc

[glad osprey]

it does

and i tried looking at their code

[glad osprey]

and it just ended up making this

[modern kindle]

i presume they have a patch, did you implement that as well

[glad osprey]

i could not find anything

patch wise

[chrome widget]

Hmm... I'm trying to figure out how to pre-empt glass breaks.

[zealous glen]

Pre-empt?

[chrome widget]

The card effect I'm working on adds a retrigger to a glass card if it's going to shatter

there's a shattered context I think, so I guess I can just try retriggering it from there?

[zealous glen]

too late

any reason the card itself can't destroy Glass

-# You could try simulating the random seed with the vanilla feature to do so

[chrome widget]

I added a more robust prediction feature because the vanilla one isn't useful for anything except its one use case

I might have to use it, the main issue with it is that I think it would still be dependent on evaluation order, because the joker could only know the shatter will occur after the effects table has already been put together

at least, if glass cards work like lucky cards

[zealous glen]

I think making the Joker itself destroy them would be statistically the same except for potentially other modded effects that directly impact Glass Cards

[chrome widget]

Hmm yeah probably true. Just manually do the calculation myself and then flag it for destruction

Seems simple enough

[covert scroll]

Any mods that let me spawn in jokers for testing and anyway to restart the game or reload scripts without closing it

[gaunt thistle]

DebugPlus!!!!!

[zealous glen]

that's like hyper^2 factorial^3 DebugPlus

[covert scroll]

thx i found it

Way better than what i was doing before

[minor furnace]

time to figure out why this doesn't trigger Glass Joker...

        local destroyed_cards = {}
        local temp_hand = {}
        for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do temp_hand[#temp_hand+1] = v end
        table.sort(temp_hand, function (a, b) return not a.playing_card or not b.playing_card or a.playing_card < b.playing_card end)
        pseudoshuffle(temp_hand, pseudoseed('leo'))
        for i = 1, 3 do destroyed_cards[#destroyed_cards+1] = temp_hand[i] end
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
            play_sound('tarot1')
            card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
            return true end }))
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.1,
            func = function() 
                for i=#destroyed_cards, 1, -1 do
                    local _card = destroyed_cards[i]
                    if SMODS.shatters(_card) then
                        _card:shatter()
                    else
                        _card:start_dissolve(nil, i == #destroyed_cards)
                    end
                end
                return true end }))
        delay(0.5)
        SMODS.calculate_context({ remove_playing_cards = true, removed = destroyed_cards })
    end```

I merely want to destroy 3 random cards in hand

and they do destroy, but Glass Joker does not scale if this destroys a glass card

I essentially just copied the code from immolate and modified a few things

WAIT WHAT

Using Immolate on a Glass Card does not proc Glass Joker???

since when

[glad osprey]

how does one use a .toml

[minor furnace]

did people know this?

[minor furnace]

[patches.pattern]
target = "file_path.lua"
pattern = '''line to match here'''
position = "after" #after, at, or before
payload = '''code to insert here'''
match_indent = true
times = 1# of instances to replace```

[glad osprey]

follow up

what the fuck is cryptid doing here

[minor furnace]

inserting their own code after that line

[glad osprey]

ok why do they do
if true then --Cryptid.enabled["menu"]

doesn't that just do nothing

[fallen osprey]

whati s the thing that gives something a chance to happen

I want to make my joker have a 1/3 Chance to give X7 Mult, but I don't know how

[glad osprey]

pseudorandom("seed")

then check if it's less than G.GAME.probabilities.normal divided by the chance of happening

so for that it would be
if pseudorandom("7mult"<this field doesn't matter that much>) < (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1) / 3 then

[fallen osprey]

thanks man

i pasted that in and what is goin on

[fallen osprey]

forgot to reply

[glad osprey]

<this field doesn't matter that much> is filler lmao

[minor furnace]

this is base game btw

I just tested it

[fallen osprey]

oh wait I see what happened

[minor furnace]

literally unplayable

[fallen osprey]

huh?

[fallen osprey]

sorry man im not getting this

[glad osprey]

Just delete that part

it was just a note telling you that the seed isn't that necessary

[fallen osprey]

Ok

[glad osprey]

you can make it whatever you want and it would still work fine

[minor furnace]

you ended the function but you never ended your if

[fallen osprey]

but why is the function not getting the end, makes no sense

[scarlet spire]

yeah the seed is important, but what it is doesn't matter as long as it's different from other seeds in the game

[fallen osprey]

wait

[minor furnace]

you need an end for the if in calculate

[fallen osprey]

not that end i highlighted but there still is an end'

[scarlet spire]

the if statement also needs an end

so

   end
end

[fallen osprey]

im so dumb

thank you

[scarlet spire]

lua syntax is quite verbose and specific sometimes

[fallen osprey]

Also, I want this joker to enhance played 7s to lucky, how would I do so, with SMODS.PokerHand? or SMODS.Rank?

[minor furnace]

I'm going to patch this in because it's bugging the everliving christ out of me

[scarlet spire]

a calculate like this would be what you're looking for, I believe

[fallen osprey]

i have this but have a strong feeling this is very wrong

oh

yeah i was way off

[scarlet spire]

context.individual activates per card, context.cardarea == G.play narrows it down to just played cards
context.other_card is the card the context is activated on, get_id() gets the card's value

[fallen osprey]

thank you

[rapid stag]

this is what i ended up doing - just rewriting the whole thing the way you said

and it's giving me a nil value error (error happens the moment i click the config button and it tries to load the menu)? and i can't figure out what could be causing that

is this just not the correct implementation of create_toggle()?

[fallen osprey]

yo

im learning

i made it so it only does mult when it has a 7 in the hand

and i fixed it not making them lucky on my own

[paper zealot]

This is usually caused when there's a Text or DynaText object that hasn't been provided a colour. Double-check your spelling and if you're making Dynatext objects, make sure you provide an array to the colours property (not colour) with at least one colour value

[rapid stag]

is G.UIT.T a dynatext object

[paper zealot]

Nope, that's regular UIElement Tezt

[rapid stag]

i mean, i guess it doesn't matter, it's a text object either way. but it is being given a colour

does it have to be an array?

[paper zealot]

That looks right

[rapid stag]

well the only other text is the create_toggle()s

[paper zealot]

It could also be caused by a missing set of brackets, all nodes should be a double-nested table

...i think? Or maybe create_toggle already returns a table

Let me check

[rapid stag]

ohhh

yeah, i think the nesting of create_toggle() is the issue. it shouldn't be nested

[paper zealot]

https://github.com/Breezebuilder/SystemClock/blob/v1.7.1/src/config_ui.lua for reference

[rapid stag]

oh, you made systemclock! are you aware of a weird issue with it & malverk in which, if you have malverk and systemclock loaded texturepacks don't immediately load on start and you have to force load them via the malverk ui?

[paper zealot]

That sounds like the issue with 1.6.0 - 1.6.2, fixed a few weeks ago. I'd hooked the wrong main menu function and broke all other proper main menu hooks for mods that loaded after SystemClock... Not my proudest moment, haha

[rapid stag]

ahhhh

[paper zealot]

Also notably caused the Multiplayer mod to disconnect after the first ante

[rapid stag]

so this is what it looks like now after taking the create_toggle()s out of the nest

[paper zealot]

Could you post the whole file?

[minor furnace]

btw you can do a multiline comment with

]]```

[rapid stag]

ahhh that's how you do it, thanks

too used to //* *// in C#

[paper zealot]

I'm on mobile at the moment and can't type up a full table, but i think your understanding is a little off based on the comment about rows arranged inside the column.

Any element that you want to be arranged has to be contained inside either a UIT.C or a UIT.R.
To arrange a group of say 6 UIT.T objects in a column as rows the way you want, you need one UIT.C element, containing 6 child UIT.R elements, and each of those UIT.R elements should contain their individual UIT.T.

So the Options column container should be a UIT.R, containing 2 UIT.Cs

[rapid stag]

ah, so i have them backwards?

[paper zealot]

Then those UIT.Cs should contain however many UIT.Rs are needed for your text, and each of those UIT.Rs should have one UIT.T child

I found this guide with diagrams really helpful when starting out, if you haven't seen it yet:
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

[rapid stag]

oh, i've seen that diagram. makes no sense to me

[paper zealot]

There's also the obscure print_topology() function that all UIElements have, if you're unsure about the tree structure

[rapid stag]

well i rearranged it to go R, C, R, C, toggles but now i'm back at my original, original, original, original issue of "the text will not go on top and demands to be the first item in a the row of everything rather than first in a column of everything" no matter where i move the text to

[steady smelt]

do playing cards have an internal sell value? and if so what is it and how do i get it

[paper zealot]

ROOT (
  R (
    C (
      R ( T ),
      R (
        C (

        ),
        C (

          R ( T ),
          R ( T ), ...
        )
     )
  )
)

[main mica]

silly joker that predicts next blind ^^ (placeholder art)

[steady smelt]

woah how
also what is the menu on the right (ik it looks like debugplus but i didn't know there was a menu for it)

[main mica]

hold tab with debugplus

just calculated the next seed

[steady smelt]

might need to look into that, could be useful for a lot of things

[main mica]

seems like prediction jokers arent really popular
i snooped around turns out predict_seed was talked about only once here

not that i used it, but it seems like the logical thing to ask here if youre making this sorta thing

[steady smelt]

you didn't use predict_seed or you didn't use the other conversations about it?

[tepid crow]

most predictions aren't that useful tbh

and I can't even think of one of the top of my head that'd be worth a joker slot

[main mica]

yeaaah my one is kinda dookie too

[steady smelt]

view contents of selected pack?

[main mica]

the rare is temporary it's defintely uncommon

[main mica]

winter did that!! and its super cool

.

[dense adder]

is there a way to check for last card in hand such as a context.scoring_hand[-1] or does lua not have a -1 to check last in array

[steady smelt]

it'd have to be executed right since jokers aren't supposed to add ui elements according to localthunk's design stuff

[tepid crow]

that's actually not too bad

[main mica]

context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]

[steady smelt]

i might add that to my mod sometime

[tepid crow]

still not sure if it's worth a joker slot in most cases though

[steady smelt]

actually predict_seed is way more useful for something i'm doing in a worse way rn so ty anyways

[main mica]

my main mod #1344061963373641799 has a joker that shows you the top 3 cards in the deck

[main mica]

oh? what might that be?

[steady smelt]

i thought of that too

[tepid crow]

I guess you could do a joker that shows the next cards you'll draw yeah

[main mica]

predict_seed is only used in vanilla for finding the first legendary

[steady smelt]

replacing certain tarots with certain other ones as they're generated
currently mine breaks the 'no repeats' rule if it rolls into the same thing after the first one is replaced, then the second one is replaced too

but with this i should be able to just do predict_seed to replace instead so it doesn't affect the next pull

i think

ac tu a ly

idk if that works

[main mica]

i still havent entirely figured out how predict_seed works, so if youre stuck on it i can chuck at you the two lines i wrote for it

[main mica]

have you tried card.sell_cost?

[steady smelt]

yes pls

[steady smelt]

i'm sure it works i haven't tried it tho

was more just asking if it existed or not since they aren't sellable

[main mica]

  local key = 'boss'
  local newseed = nil
  
  if not G.GAME.pseudorandom[key] then 
    newseed = pseudohash(key..(G.GAME.pseudorandom.seed or ''))
  else
    newseed = G.GAME.pseudorandom[key]
  end

  newseed = math.abs(tonumber(string.format("%.13f", (2.134453429141+newseed*1.72431234)%1)))
  newseed = (newseed + (G.GAME.pseudorandom.hashed_seed or 0))/2

  local _, boss = pseudorandom_element(eligible_bosses, newseed)

change first line and last line

oh,

though, keep in mind

this can only predict the next step in the seed

[steady smelt]

interesting

[main mica]

uhh i guess i can package it more neatly hold on

yeah no im lazy nvm, this is what you get, use newseed instead of pseudoseed(' '), if it wasnt clear

[quartz ravine]

Very weird!

It looks like loc_vars behaves differently when a card has a special edition, depending on if it is in your hand or in the overall deck view

Then compared to overall deck view

[stray warren]

What does your loc_vars function look like?

[quartz ravine]

  loc_txt = {
        name = "Akashic",
        label = "akashic",
        text = {
            "Weakens then strengthens the afflicted card",
            "Applies {X:mult}x 0.5{} mult to begin",
            "Increases by {c:attention} 0.1{} when scored",
            '{s:0.9,C:inactive}Currently {X:mult} #1#{}{}',
        }
    },    
    on_apply = function(self, card,context)
        sendInfoMessage("triggering on pickup logic for this card", self.key)
        self.ability.x_mult = 0.5
        -- self:set_edition('e_holo', false)
        -- card.cost = 10
    end,
    apply_to_float = true,
    loc_vars = function(self,card,context)
        -- local thunk= inspectDepth(context)
        -- sendInfoMessage(thunk)
        if nil ~=context and nil~= context.ability then
        return {            
            vars = {                
                context.ability.x_mult }
        }
    end

I found that self refers to the editions own vars, while card is actually empty, but context does contain a handle back to the base card. Maybe the overall view does actually populate card

[paper zealot]

Unrelated but XMult is usually indicated by with white text using {X:mult,C:white}, by the way

Not sure why LocalThunk didn't just include the white text colour with the X command, since it's only ever used in that one way everywhere

[quartz ravine]

i knew mine looked wrong!

[paper zealot]

Sorry, i forgot to reply to your comment earlier. This should be the right topology
#💻・modding-dev message

The very first R container is unnecessary for structure, but useful for padding distances

[rapid stag]

yep, i've got it, just working out some teething issues with the final layout

[quartz ravine]

@stray warren

[rapid stag]

i'm wondering if i can solve this weird size thing with a maxh but i'm unsure where to put it

[stray warren]

I'm not too familiar with editions, but I'm pretty sure self should be replaced with card

also, your parameters for loc_vars are misnomers. It should be loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

on_apply should only be on_apply = function(card)

All this info is from the smods wiki btw. Really helpful to get the definitions right https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition

[paper zealot]

Which weird size thing?

[stray warren]

This is why the context had a handle to card, it's because in this case it is actually a reference to card

[rapid stag]

well, i solved it, but you see how the main box was weirdly clipping out of the screen bounds? that

[quartz ravine]

ah, that explains a lot about this weirdness, thank you!

[paper zealot]

Oh, that's not a cropped screenshot, i should have looked closer.
maxh and maxw generally aren't that helpful as the containers already scale to the minimum possible size for their contents, so setting the max either doesn't do anything, or causes bad overlaps

Reducing padding and scale is the way to squish things into place

[quartz ravine]

I think these cards power up way too fast. If you get a joker with this edition, it ends up being very strong. Of course it is a low hit rate edition

[plain apex]

been trying to make this suggestion but this isnt doing anything

SMODS.Enhancement({
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Modified",
        text = {

        },
    },

            vars = { 
                card and card.ability.extra.reduce or self.config.extra.reduce, 
            }
        }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then

                        return true
                    end
                }))
            }
        end
    end
})

[quartz ravine]

does it throw, or does nothing happen

[plain apex]

nothing happens

just scores like any other card

[covert scroll]

How would i check if a certain joker exists by checking from another joker, (Ex: Lets just say the joker checks if there is a lusty joker or something)

[stray warren]

I believe you would use SMODS.find_card() for that

[rapid stag]

it's now how i want it, thanks do you happen to remember the arguments for create_option_cycle() off the top of your head?

i've been thumbing through your config_ui.lua for insight, but it doesn't really elucidate what exactly the function expects as a lot of the variables you call it with are inherent to your mod and i'd have to be looking back and forth to figure out the full context

[quartz ravine]

Try adding just a log message to be sure you are hitting this code path

I have done a lot with editions but not touched enhancements

[covert scroll]

Would i put that in update() if i want to check this at all times

[plain apex]

i haven't done editions i would do editions if i knew how to do the shader stuff for them lol

[quartz ravine]

read the book of shaders then start copying and pasting random crap is my advice!

[stray warren]

I mean, if update() is called all the time, then I don't see why not

[covert scroll]

does findcard return true or false

[stray warren]

It's all documented on the wiki

[paper zealot]

The game code is a better reference for that. I think that function is near the end of functions/UI_definitions.lua

[plain apex]

didn't send anything

[dense adder]

can next(context.poker_hands["Straight"]) only be done with context.before each time i try and use it a second time to upgrade a card in scoring its giveing me a nil error

[covert scroll]

Im bad at navigating this wiki is there any search, as it would probably reduce my questions by alot

[quartz ravine]

I just downloaded the whole thing as a zip and opened it in vscode

[tall salmon]

i'm trying to organize my code into different .lua files so i dont go crazy

[paper zealot]

Briefly, label is the top text above the cycle, options should be an array of name strings that it will display (typically a list defined in a localization file), current_option is the index number of the default pip, and opt_callback is the name of a function it will try to call on every cycle change. This function needs to be defined as G.FUNCS.<function name>(e), but opt_callback should just be the function name part.

[quartz ravine]

those cards look cool

[stray warren]

Most of the random functions are under the Utility Functions tab, with the object specific functions being housed in those respective tabs. There is unfortunately no search option other than going to each page and using CTRL + F

[plain apex]

thats what they'll look like if i actually find a way to make them function lol

[tall salmon]

but it's having the opposite effect because i cant figure out why my require calls dont work

i'm doing this in lovely.tmol and requiring each one in the main mod .lua but it only works with the rares

version = "1.0.0"
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.module]
source = 'jokars/rare.lua'
before = 'main.lua'

name = 'uncommonjokars'

[[patches]]
[patches.module]

before = 'main.lua'
name = 'commonjokars'```

[plain apex]

otherwise probably just getting thrown to the pile of stuff that could be cool but idk how to make work

[quartz ravine]

Why is it all in a return {} block? That is not how I did mine, nor some examples I looked at

[covert scroll]

Ok im searching but i cant find this, does anyone know how to make the joker do like the invisible joker shake animation when its active

[quartz ravine]

try removing the wrapping return and curly braces, if you check this example which I know works, they don't have such braces. I also didn't use them in my editions which are functionally similar

if card.ability.set == 'Joker' then

[quartz ravine]

I have a sample for you

[stray warren]

You could check Invisible Joker's code in card.lua if you haven't already

[quartz ravine]

in your code, set a card variable that will turn false when you want the jiggling to end

local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.ready == true) end
juice_card_until(card, eval, true)

--will jiggle forever until the end of the round or asomething sets card.ability.ready to false

the first problem is to solve why you can't hit your log message. Oh yeah, be sure you enabled info level logging if you haven't yet! you get that for free with debugPlus

[rapid stag]

as a sanity check, is the index 1-based or 0-based?

[stray warren]

It should be 1-based

[minor furnace]

Is there a global that holds the name of every seal, including modded ones? I want to call pseudorandom_element() on it

[stray warren]

G.P_SEALS

[plain apex]

yeah i have info level logging

[stray warren]

in game.lua

[minor furnace]

yk that would be a good name for it lol

[covert scroll]

im a little confused, am i using the function wrong local search = SMODS.find_card('benjoker', false) print(#search), doing this always results in 0 even if the joker with the key exists

[stray warren]

it uses the key, so you need to prepend j_MODPREFIX_X

in your case, it would be j_X_benjoker, where X = your mod's prefix

[chrome widget]

Hmm...... I need to keep cards perpetually debuffed, but I know blinds reset debuffs whenever they need to, so I'm not sure I can set it once and be done with it

why they gotta be this like whole other code langague and not just like a gif or something

[daring fern]

How could one move jokers from the jokers category to the "other" tab?

In the collection?

[rapid stag]

...what exactly is it doing when it tries to call the function name i specify in opt_callback? because unlike with create_toggle(), using ref_table and ref_value to link the cycle to the config option doesn't work, so i'm trying to get it to call a function to set the config value to the new value, but i can't figure out the proper syntax because i don't know where and how it's looknig for the function it's trying to call oh, i see it HAS to be G.FUNCS

[chrome widget]

What's the best thing to use to identify an instance? Just card.ID?

[hard flume]

If I wanted an event to trigger after scoring, how would I go about doing that?

[sonic cedar]

[dense adder]

check the gros michel code
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua#L120

[rapid stag]

okay, how do i get it to save it to the config file?
...ohhh i have to save the entire table each time... i have to do file i/o, yaaaaaaaaaay

[dense adder]

Im running into an issue of i can't put the permanant chip bonus after the if context.before and next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) since it is doing the calculation before the score but if i do a if next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) with context.scoring_hand an nil error. anyone know or see something i dont

      --level up code

          return{Flag_LAGN = false}
        end
    --calc end
    end```

i tried using a boolean Flag to get around it but it had not worked

[paper zealot]

That's the point where I'd recommend you look at another mod to see how they deal with their config using SMODS, should be a bit easier that way. I rolled my own solution so that i wouldn't need to depend on it

[paper zealot]

With SMODS, I think as long as your values are stored in the YourMod.config table, it'll trigger a save automatically when the config menu is closed. No need to worry about read/write or anythingel else. It's pretty handy

[rapid stag]

it didn't.

that's why i'm asking

i set the value in a way that i confirmed sets it to the table. close config menu. close balatro. re-open balatro. re-open config menu. cycle is set to the normal default option - which is loaded from the config table

...actually...

[paper zealot]

Hrm. Okay. Make sure you've got a local or global variable (depending on your situation) called something like mod_instance or my_mod or whatever makes sense to you. Then assign that mod_instance = SMODS.current_mod at the start of your mod initialization

[rapid stag]

yep. it does that.

[paper zealot]

Then i believe the SMODS config table will be accessible with mod_instance.config

[rapid stag]

that's what i do

i set the var in the table

[paper zealot]

There might be a load_config function to run at the start also, I'm running on memory right now

[rapid stag]

the more perplexing thing is that now i'm sanity checking by changing the var and closing the config menu

it is not updating the file.

[paper zealot]

Are you looking at your local config.lua file, or in the %AppData%/Balatro/config/YourMod.jkr file?

[rapid stag]

the latter

[scarlet spire]

okay nevermind this was super easy actually

[paper zealot]

I remember running into a problem where it seemed like SMODS was checking the type of the default variable set in config.lua and discarding the new value if the types mismatched. Could it be something like that?

[rapid stag]

nope, i definitely made it a number.
the only thing i can think of is that this is something that i am changing from a boolean value to a number value, but that shouldn't be an issue

not like, in runtime

but this config value used to be a boolean value, but i'm making it a number value now if that makes sense

[paper zealot]

That might be an issue, yes. That's the type mismatch that I'm referring to

[dense adder]

dont know what made it work but its fixed, praise the machine spirit

[rapid stag]

do i really have to make a whole new variable in the config table just to use a different type

[daring fern]

Is this possible?

[paper zealot]

Yep, that's what SMODS wants. That's also why opt_callback comes in handy, as you can do your own more complex variable assignment in there.

You're welcome to copy my config save/load system in SystemClock as an alternative solution, it's SMODS-compatible but doesn't exclude different types and keeps arrays ordered.

Whatever you think is easier and more reliable for your use case

[stiff locust]

how do i change the rank of a card again

[fast lily]

I am absolutely new to modding in general, but have some programming experience and want to try and make something little for a friend. How exactly do I start modding?

I'd imagine I'd need to download a lua environment and maybe even steamodded?

[rapid stag]

does anyone know how to exit a for loop prematurely?

[paper zealot]

break

Or move your loop to its own function and return. Different people have different preferences

[plush cove]

similar question: what's the best way to ignore a value in a for loop, but have it still continue regardless? is the only way to have an "if" statement?

[daring fern]

Possible?

[paper zealot]

In other languages you could do if not condition then continue, but Lua doesn't kave the continue keyword for some reason

[tall wharf]

i just use label for that

[paper zealot]

For code neatness you could predefine an array of values and iterate through that instead, but it likely wouldn't be any faster than just checking if condition then ... end for every iteration in the loop

[paper zealot]

This guide has a few handy links about how to use the Steamodded API and a bit about the game code structure https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[paper zealot]

If you've programmed before, whatever code editor or IDE you're comfortable with is probably fine. Lua doesn't require any specific environment, set up or build configuration since it's (sorta kinda) an interpreted language.
I'm happy with VSCode and the Lua extension personally, but different strokes for different folks and all that

[daring fern]

Impossible?

[steady smelt]

how can i display attention_text over a played card with an enhancement in that enhancement's calculate() function? it keeps showing up in the wrong place and idk what i'm doing that much

[harsh marten]

how do I check if the player has a joker selected?

[tall wharf]

cards gone™️

[halcyon osprey]

somehow caused a crash? card = nil somehow

[scarlet spire]

are these values from the card's config?

use self.config.extra instead

[halcyon osprey]

not ability set, and it worked in the past

im essentially only wanting it to upgrade if a Joker has been sold

[rapid stag]

it's not steam cloud sync bs (esp. because i disabled steam cloud just to rule it out), it's not weird file bs.
SMODS literally just isn't saving the value

wtf why didn't it record the console window

oh right, i dragged it in

balatro just doesn't like being recorded

this is the function the cycle calls

i just can't understand what's wrong

[daring fern]

I tried that and couldn't get it to work

[rapid stag]

wait

that's my problem

copy table.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

yep. fixed it.

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-stage-dive-gif-14652400340905149825

[paper zealot]

Careful where you put this, as SMODS.current_mod will only point to your own mod for a brief period on loading before moving onto another mod. This might well destroy or overwrite other mod's config files

[rapid stag]

this is right at the start of my main lua file and the mod priority is 99999

is there a better way to guarantee that it'll be this specific mod that it's getting

[plush cove]

I have it initialized like this

[paper zealot]

No worries. From your screenshots I thought it might have been in G.FUNCS.cir_CycMatureReferencesVal

[rapid stag]

ah

[rapid stag]

what is the [1] for

[plush cove]

find_mod returns a table, [1] gives the first element

[rotund ridge]

im trying to make it work for every hand played but it only does it one time every game i dont know how it works

[stiff locust]

change context.scoring_hand to context.individual and then you can refer to the scored cards as context.other_card instead of using a separate loop to iterate through the scored cards

the reason it is triggering once per game is because of card.ability.extra.triggered not being properly reset to false

if you want it to be once per hand, set it to false during context.before

if you want it to be once per blind, set it to false during context.setting_blind

i assume it is meant to be one of those two

[rotund ridge]

i wanted it not once per hand just it plays it every hand like i play a 4 and 7 it trigger in the same round i play a another 4 and 7 and it triggers etc etc

[stiff locust]

then... what's the point of card.ability.extra.triggered?

[rotund ridge]

im just taking code and hoping it work ngl 😭 💀

[stiff locust]

yeah you don't need the card.ability.extra.triggered blocks then

you can js get rid of those

[stiff locust]

you should do this as well

replace played_card in your checks with context.other_card and remove the for _, played_card in... loop (and its corresponding end)

and then move the line local has_4, has7 = false, false inside the if has_4 and has_7 block
this will make it play every time a 4 and 7 are played regardless of how far apart they are, even across different hands and different rounds
if you want it to reset after a hand anyway you can re-add the false changes under context.after which is after a hand is played

[daring fern]

Is there a way for a print command to print everything instead of "+x more values"?

[stiff locust]

realising this is a lot i might just rewrite it for you if you're cool with that

[rotund ridge]

im changing it hold on

[stiff locust]

alright

[rotund ridge]

i think i fuck it up because its crashing from line 61 at local has....

[stiff locust]

don't return

you don't need to return anything during this block

[rotund ridge]

the one on at the if has_4, has_7 ?

[stiff locust]

both of them inside the if context.individual and ... block

the first is redundant and the second is causing the crash

if you want a message then there's two other ways of doing it that do not involve a return

one of which is apparently better but i don't know how to do the better version

so card_eval_status_text it is

although this doesn't seem like an ability that should have a text popup when triggering

balatro standard would be to use card:juice_up at this point
-# this is way simpler than the message stuff anyway, this is the line of code that makes the card do a little shake animation

but there's nothing stopping you from doing a message if you still want one

[rotund ridge]

? is it good

[primal robin]

[stiff locust]

that means remove the {} as well

[stiff locust]

do you or do you not want to keep the message

you do need to return the message or use another method

[rotund ridge]

i want the message yes

on the joker

[stiff locust]

okay then you should also localize it

hard coding a message to english isn't good practice for future translation but you can handle that later probably

remove the on_hand_start section it's no longer needed

also what is this joker actually supposed to do

i notice you're trying to make it give mult during joker_main but also during the other context check?

[rotund ridge]

it gives +10 mult if a 4 AND 7 are played and scored

[stiff locust]

so

why are you using xmult_mod

and the way you phrase it, it sounds like it should be once per hand

[rotund ridge]

this is second card i ever coded

[stiff locust]

okay but conceptually for the joker

should it be once per hand

[tall wharf]

😭

wtf

what happened to SMODS.current_mod

[plush cove]

somebody reported crashes on startup, and I changed it off of SMODS.current_mod and it fixed it

[tall wharf]

how

[manic rune]

maybe its foreshadowing the fact astrapboy doesn't own Mistigris...

[tall wharf]

nahhhhh

[rotund ridge]

becuse the mult is to high ? i could get it down a bit

[tall wharf]

that can't be

right????

[manic rune]

we just dont know...

[stiff locust]

no, because of the phrasing

[rotund ridge]

oh

[stiff locust]

the joker's effect is as described by you gives +10 mult if a 4 AND 7 are played and scored
which implies that, after a hand is played, if the hand contains a 4 and a 7 that score, it gives +10 mult once

but the way you code it makes it seem like it should be gives +10 mult after a 4 and 7 have both been scored

which could activate infinite times per hand, activating immediately once a 4 and 7 have been scored

so is it the first one or the second one

[plush cove]

[SMODS mistigris "src/startup/smod_hooks.lua"]:9: attempt to index field 'current_mod' (a nil value)
the incriminating code in question:

[rotund ridge]

infinite time per hand

[stiff locust]

alright then

[primal robin]

Is there any function to define own mod description UI?

[stiff locust]

change card.ability.extra.xmult to card.ability.extra.mult
go to the joker's config = { extra = { xmult = X } } line and change it to config = { extra = { mult = 10 } }
change the xmult_mod = on line 61 to mult =
add a return { that starts after line 60 and ends with } after the colour = line

[tall wharf]

😭

[stiff locust]

remove all the code under the context.joker_main block after doing these other steps (do this last because it will change the line numbers)

[rotund ridge]

darkwoke

[stiff locust]

ctrl + h to do find and replace btw

[rotund ridge]

ok

[stiff locust]

maybe don't do that actually it could fuck up your other joker

if it also uses card.ability.extra.xmult

[tall wharf]

time to make a release

at least alpha release

[manic rune]

ctrl + shift + F would allow for better replacing, since you can pick out where to replace

[stiff locust]

that opens the search bar in vscode

[manic rune]

mhm

theres a bar below for you to type in what you want to replace the thingy with

[rotund ridge]

like that ?

[stiff locust]

no

the return should start 1 line lower

do not put the local has_4... inside it

you removed the code that sets has_4 and has_7

put it back

remove the return and end on the lines directly below context.individual
-# i've said this twice now

[tall wharf]

@manic rune

[rotund ridge]

where do i put it before or after ?

[stiff locust]

before

you can't execute code after a return

[tall wharf]

is this copied from kym directly

[manic rune]

i copied from google

[rotund ridge]

i added the return { but i dont know if its rigth

[stiff locust]

remove the if context.joker_main block

you moved the return up???

move it to the line above mult =

make a new line to put it on

[manic rune]

💔

maybe you need to type out the entire code for them

[stiff locust]

you know i think that's probably easier

[plush cove]

        if context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then john_has_7 = true end

        if john_has_4 and john_has_7 then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            }
        end
    end
    if context.after then
        john_has_4 = false
        john_has_7 = false
    end
end

this is yours now replace your ENTIRE calculate function with this code
there is no message because i think it shouldn't have a message because a message is already output by the mult being output
it doesn't have and not context.blueprint because this code is perfectly blueprintable and it's not an end of round effect so it has no reason not to be blueprint compatible
make sure you change blueprint_compat to true though

[tall wharf]

this should kill a lot of Cryptid runs tho

[onyx sonnet]

Finally, a way to kill negative deck

[tall wharf]

i don't kill editions

[stiff locust]

yes you do

you just killed negative

the edition

[tall wharf]

i don't specifically kill negatives

[stiff locust]

yes you do (you just did)

[tall wharf]

i kill jamming cards into your area

[stiff locust]

which is mainly done with

negatives

negative is dead

[tall wharf]

sometimes cards are just jammed into your area

[plush cove]

my 4 chicots:

[stiff locust]

but you have 5 joker slots

[primal robin]

[stiff locust]

real asf actually

[tall wharf]

exactly why you need chicot for this one actually

[stiff locust]

i've been wondering if it is possible to make my chicot fusion automatically win blinds that include disable, disabling or disabled in their descriptions (or by a hardcoded list of blinds that do stuff when disabled)

[primal robin]

[stiff locust]

you know just to send a message back at the anti chicot blinds

is that a thing i can do

[tall wharf]

true

even tho i have "Disabling this blind sets requirement to some big number"

i have this bullshit

[maiden phoenix]

This is so stupid lmao

[tall wharf]

i think it evens out

[stiff locust]

im also gonna make it return saved = true so a blind can't pull "disabling this blind instantly loses your run"

it's going to take you a lot of shit to get rid of me

you are up against the wall and I am the wall

uhh payload juggernaut said that i think

[tall wharf]

how about "Disabling this boss blind starts a new run entirely"

[stiff locust]

it joins the next run and instantly wins that run

[maiden phoenix]

I read "I'm going to pin you against the wall" and was confused lol

[rotund ridge]

can i just pay you to code it at this piont like i got other idea for jokers and all

[tall wharf]

you won't know unless you check

[stiff locust]

after what just happened with jen's almanac i'm

quite scared to ever accept money for code in this context

i'm also very busy with other projects at the moment

[maiden phoenix]

Marie drama

[rotund ridge]

what happend?

[stiff locust]

squid games

[tall wharf]

is this a trap set by Playstack 😭😭

[maiden phoenix]

Marie drama would be like "She got caught selling the splash card"

[tall wharf]

marie

[stiff locust]

sometimes you do want to sell it

like on red/blue/green deck splash sleeve

[maiden phoenix]

What

Im reporting you to mods

[manic rune]

splash...

[tall wharf]

helo 46 year old from somali selling wife for internet connection

[native zinc]

i got fucked up by my own joker. thanks Judgement

[stiff locust]

well thats the beauty of it

[manic rune]

wtf

[native zinc]

"oops"

[stiff locust]

splash is inherently splashable

[manic rune]

why would you want that 😭

[native zinc]

blame judgement

[onyx sonnet]

[manic rune]

you know what

[onyx sonnet]

Free driver's license proc

[manic rune]

might as well buy invisible joker for 60 bonus cards

[tall wharf]

silly

[onyx sonnet]

And hologram scaling

[maiden phoenix]

Stonks

[onyx sonnet]

And sooooooo much blue joker value

[stiff locust]

at most points while running my mod if you have a regular splash for too long it becomes a burden
-# which is also why i'm making ripple count as splash in fusions as per the polls because this is actually a really big problem when running my mod

[manic rune]

yes, but

your deck is fucked after that

[onyx sonnet]

Clearly this is the best joker ever

[tall wharf]

sell this card to double your deck size right now

[native zinc]

good early game for drivers liscense

oh

someone already said it

[stiff locust]

something about this wording is really funny to me

the card demanding "Right now"

[tall wharf]

RIGHT NOW

[onyx sonnet]

It has limited application and a stupidly absurd drawback

[manic rune]

i swear to god i cant be the only one reading "deck size" as smt else.

[stiff locust]

imagine diet cola with "sell this card to create a double tag Right Now!!!!!"

[plush cove]

The wonderful ceremonious dagger:

[maiden phoenix]

Ripple too good 💪

[stiff locust]

someone make a mod that changes all the jokers to be aggressive

[onyx sonnet]

Unless you're playing some fucked up plasma build with splash

[native zinc]

SO TRUE

oh i gotta go get madness and cere now

thanks

[onyx sonnet]

I 💙 splash

[native zinc]

i love playtesting my own mod

[maiden phoenix]

Jimbo but he says a swear word 😱

[rotund ridge]

Holy shit i feel like yandere dev💀

[stiff locust]

jimbo gives +#$%! Mult

[plush cove]

Or

[stiff locust]

well you're not yandere dev

because you listen to feedback and let people help you

[onyx sonnet]

What if Jimbo drank alcohol and said BITCH!

[stiff locust]

like a reasonable human being

[manic rune]

you are nowhere close to the level of yandere dev

[rotund ridge]

stop it guys you are going to make me blush

[manic rune]

-# what

[stiff locust]

yeah okay we're gonna stay very away from this actually

i'm just gonna put this ocean between us and communicate to you via message bottles

[manic rune]

it seems we both agree on something there

[stiff locust]

i hope that's not an inconvenience
