How would I be able to make sure my joker runs one of it's calculations last when selecting a blind regardless of joker position? I'm making a joker that forces you to only play one hand, but if I have for example the robber joker after it, it adds the removed hands right back

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure windows screenshots has arrows baked in like that

[maiden river]

Oh fr

[wintry solar]

It definitely has shapes

I would assume the arrow is a shape in the selection

[maiden river]

Maybe I'm clueless
I never really use the screenshot editor anyway

[scarlet spire]

I'm curious, is there a technical reason why ghost cards can't be fixed so that cards can be destroyed anywhere? is it just a really complicated issue?

I mostly understand destroying context at this point but I'm still curious

[worthy stirrup]

whats the opposite of is_face() because i need to count not face cards

[fallow sphinx]

Here's what I've got so far which works great, just want to make sure it does reduce amount of hands to 1 no matter what

[minor furnace]

not is_face()

[maiden river]

Yeah that

[worthy stirrup]

so like this?
for k, val in ipairs(context.removed) do
if not val:is_face() then non_face_cards = non_face_cards + 1 end

[scarlet spire]

should be it yeah

[worthy stirrup]

thanks

i used to know lua but it seems ive forgotten it

[glad osprey]

is it possible to create a consumable that changes the edition of a selected joker

[maiden river]

Yeah

[worthy stirrup]

well shit, im now crashing

[glad osprey]

good to know

[worthy stirrup]

code at top, crash at bottom

[scarlet spire]

you can check what aura does in card.lua

[worthy stirrup]

oh, i should be calling for card.ability

[glad osprey]

then just change the card references to jokers?

[scarlet spire]

card:set_edition works on any card

[worthy stirrup]

new crash unlocked

horray

[minor furnace]

aight, time to figure out how to make an unselectable enhancement

[glad osprey]

yea but I meant make it so it will work on jokers as opposed to playing cards

[scarlet spire]

any card, as in, jokers, playing cards, consumables, everything supports editions

[minor furnace]

what if you could enhance jokers

[scarlet spire]

horrifying to think of the sprite system that'd be required for that

[glad osprey]

yea more so i meant like it'll only be usable on jokers

[tall wharf]

UI SHENANIGANS

[scarlet spire]

ah okay, yeah the jokers area has a highlighted value just like that, so it shouldn't be hard to swap it out

G.jokers.highlighted

[onyx sonnet]

the best way would be like, replacing the borders i think

[minor furnace]

I think I can just patch CardArea:add_to_highlighted()

[fallow sphinx]

How would I check to make sure a joker is in the right most position?

[tall wharf]

hiii

i am so close

[minor furnace]

syntax error

[tall wharf]

e

so close

[crisp elbow]

Is there a list of all the vanilla color codes anywhere? Trying to find the one that Antimatter uses for it's joker slot +1 thing (like {C:attention}

[worthy stirrup]

bro, how do i join these two together
message = ("X", tostring(card.ability.extra.x_mult))

[hushed field]

you don't need to, the game can do this for you

[harsh marten]

can anyone help me with this https://pastebin.com/nU6PMYwv
Here is my shader's code:

#ifdef GL_ES
precision mediump float;
#endif

uniform float iTime;
uniform vec2 iResolution;
uniform vec2 mouse_screen_pos;
uniform float screen_scale; // Declare the required uniform

varying vec2 vTexCoord;

vec4 effect(vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords) {
    // Use screen_scale explicitly so it's not optimized out:
    float scale = screen_scale; // use it in a dummy variable
    
    // Compute UV coordinates scaled by screen_scale
    vec2 uv = (screen_coords / iResolution.xy) * scale;
    
    float timeFactor = sin(iTime) * 0.5 + 0.5;
    float mouseEffect = length(mouse_screen_pos - screen_coords) * 0.001;
    
    // Mix two colors using time and mouse effect, using uv if needed
    vec3 finalColor = mix(vec3(0.1, 0.1, 0.1), vec3(0.5, 0.5, 0.5), timeFactor + mouseEffect);
    
    return vec4(finalColor, 1.0);
}

[onyx sonnet]

its better to do

message = "X"..card.ability.extra.x_mult```

[wintry solar]

It’s better to not send a message

[onyx sonnet]

im assuming this is for things like upgrades

[strong jacinth]

Does anyone know why my button keeps on running away?

[hushed field]

Setting up a good localization for the quest system is going to be some effort. For now, just going to serialize the table and show that, ugh

[tall wharf]

so close

[minor furnace]

oh no

[hushed field]

do you know whether it's the button moving, or the entier ui set up?

[worthy stirrup]

i know damn well theres an easier way to do this.

if context.other_card:get_id() == 1 or context.other_card:get_id() == 2 or context.other_card:get_id() == 3 or context.other_card:get_id() == 4 or context.other_card:get_id() == 5 or context.other_card:get_id() == 6 or context.other_card:get_id() == 7 or context.other_card:get_id() == 8 or context.other_card:get_id() == 9 or context.other_card:get_id() == 10 or context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then

[minor furnace]

remind me never to implement anything that requires keyboard or button inputs

[strong jacinth]

No

[onyx sonnet]

what does Auto do?

[hushed field]

even if there wasn't, I'd consider instead checking if the cards aren't those ids, haha

[worthy stirrup]

oh that makes so much sense...

[tall wharf]

old behaviour

[worthy stirrup]

god damn it

[hushed field]

maybe add some background colours to the nodes, see which parts move. If all of them do, it may be what you attached the button to, rather than something in that code (because I definitely don't see a reason for it to flee the screen)

[strong jacinth]

Its the UIBox, if i remove offset = { x = 0, y = -0.005 } it works

[hushed field]

if you increase it to -.01, does it move quicker??

[strong jacinth]

Yes

Already tried

[hushed field]

why would offset work that way????

[red flower]

i use offset and it doesnt move it lol

[hushed field]

I guess something there makes it so that the offset stacks

[strong jacinth]

Idk, maybe its cxalled many tuies

times

[harsh marten]

Why aren't my Jokers having the x2 mult applied?

SMODS.Edition{
    key = "e_guns",         -- Edition key.
    raw_key = true,         -- Use the key exactly as provided.
    shader = "shiny",   -- Use the shader we register below.
    loc_txt = {
        label = "Gun Metal Edition"  -- This label appears on badges.
    },
    config = {
        chips = 0,         -- No change in chips.
        mult = 1,          -- Baseline multiplier of 1.
        x_mult = 2,        -- This will double the card's multiplier.
        p_dollars = 3,
        card_limit = 2,
    },
    unlocked = true,
}

[fallow sphinx]

Where does the game store the player's current number of hands? Doesn't look like it is G.GAME.hands

[worthy stirrup]

code and its crash

[harsh marten]

pretty sure its just G.hands

[fallow sphinx]

Oh gotcha

[harsh marten]

could be wrong though im new to this

[fallow sphinx]

Doesn't look like it, DebugPlus is giving me a nil for that

[red flower]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_left?

[wintry swallow]

hello, anybody know why my joker doesn't show my sprite?
i added the atlas so i dont know whats wrong

SMODS.Atlas{
key = "Jokers",
path = "Jokers.png",
px = 71,
py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker {
key = "Key",
loc_txt = {
name = "Name",
text = {
"text",
}
}
}

[fallow sphinx]

That was it! Thank you!

[harsh marten]

you need pos = {x = 1, y = 0},

or probably 0,0 for you

[strong jacinth]

In your joker, add atlas = 'Jokers'

[harsh marten]

so no one knows ab this? lol

[subtle mason]

When checking if a mod exists do I use pcall?

And how do I or where do I find a mods name?

[strong jacinth]

Why is Game:start_run(args) being cvalled multiple times?

[worthy stirrup]

the get ID is causing a crash, what else can i do?

        if context.other_card:get_id() == 2 or context.other_card:get_id() == 3 or context.other_card:get_id() == 4 or context.other_card:get_id() == 5 or context.other_card:get_id() == 6 or context.other_card:get_id() == 7 or context.other_card:get_id() == 8 or context.other_card:get_id() == 9 or context.other_card:get_id() == 10 or context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then

[strong jacinth]

What are you even doing here?

Checking if a card exists?

[worthy stirrup]

getting every number except queen and king

[tall wharf]

GOING INSANE HELP

[weak brook]

just do this
if not (context.other_card:get_id == 12 or context.other_card:get_id == 13) then

[strong jacinth]

Why not just ```lua
if context.other_card() != 12 and if context.other_card() != 12

[tall wharf]

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

[onyx sonnet]

lua doesnt accept exclamation as negation

[strong jacinth]

Aw, i was to late

[onyx sonnet]

it uses tilde

~

~=

[strong jacinth]

man

What is this programming language

[weak brook]

that and thing is also wrong syntax

[onyx sonnet]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[weak brook]

its simplistic i like it ngl

[subtle mason]

I once again asking, when checking if a mod exists do I use pcall?

[onyx sonnet]

i like != a lot more

[tall apex]

Omg keku from happy birthday

[onyx sonnet]

especially since it almost looks like the unequal sign

[tall apex]

[weak brook]

it is my birthday :)

[tall wharf]

this works but it lags like hell

[tall apex]

Get totally happy birthday’d again absolutely destroyed :3

[weak brook]

i know youve been working on that for a while is this mod out in some form i wanna try scrabble balatro

[subtle mason]

I once again asking, when checking if a mod exists do I use pcall?

[tall wharf]

!!!

thank u

[weak brook]

yeah it looks awesome

[tall wharf]

the mod is not out

it's

uh

in perpetual alpha rn

[weak brook]

ah all good

[tall wharf]

but u can try the alpha

[strong jacinth]

Happy bday!!

[tall wharf]

happy bnirthday kekealso

[weak brook]

that would be awesome i'd love to try that

[tall apex]

What makes an alpha an alpha? :3

[strong jacinth]

Anyone?

[tall wharf]

TIL DynaText is fucking laggy as shit

[harsh marten]

okay so I got my edition to display correctly, but the calculations aren't happening

any ideas as to why?

SMODS.Edition({
    key = "e_guns",         -- Edition key.
    raw_key = true,         -- Use the key exactly as provided.

    end,
})

[onyx sonnet]

Do you have to manually program the Debuffed! message and interaction? Or does smods simply just refuse to calculate things if a debuffed card is involved

[orchid thunder]

why

[tall apex]

i think its auto but i can check if you give me a hot second c:

[onyx sonnet]

Much appreciated

[tall apex]

np, least i can do for all your help earlier!

[sour marsh]

is there a way to display a message on the joker after context.destroy_card ?

if i do return{message="whatever"} it displays on the card and context.after seems to happen before context.destroy_card

[onyx sonnet]

try adding card = card to the return table

[sour marsh]

won't that destroy the joker

[onyx sonnet]

not to my knowledge? the purpose of adding card there is to juice up™️ a specific card

context.destroy_card has an attribute that contains the card currently being destroyed

which is context.destroying_card

[frosty dock]

i think it'd have to be message_card = card

[tall wharf]

omg aure

[onyx sonnet]

ty aure for correcting me

[tall wharf]

ok is there a way i can modify children ui element

like

i wanna change text on the fly

but dynatext is somehow very laggy

[strong jacinth]

Anyone?

[tall wharf]

ok not somehow they are supposed to be a bit laggy

[frosty dock]

probably some object node setup with a UIBox inside

[tall wharf]

so i can just use uibox

to set a new text object

i have 10 youtube shorts limit for myself

sorry

[subtle mason]

I'm trying to make a compatibility check for another mod. I only use lovely injector so smods is out of the question. Is there a way to check for other mods in any way (for example does pcall work)?

[sour marsh]

yep that did it thanks

ok i think my mimic joker works now

[tall apex]

it's automatic, my jokers are debuffed and not triggering c:

this is a sad day

[onyx sonnet]

neat, what about playing cards with jokers that interact with them?

[frosty dock]

no, lovely does not keep track of any mod metadata. the only way without smods is to rely on fixed folder names (which i think is a bad idea)

[harsh marten]

still trying to figure out why jokers with my edition aren't calculating the config

[onyx sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[frosty dock]

i guess you can rely on some global that a mod sets

[subtle mason]

What's the way to do this with smods?

[tall apex]

i would test but i dont have any custom cards as of now, but i presume if it's auto for jokers it's auto for custom cards

[frosty dock]

smods provides a utility SMODS.find_mod

[orchid thunder]

how can i move a card to another card area

[strong jacinth]

Yo aure

[onyx sonnet]

i meant card interactions, as in like jokers that interact with certain card ranks and suits

[subtle mason]

noted
thanks

[tall apex]

OHHHHH

[strong jacinth]

BLÅHAJ!!!!!!

[tall apex]

ill test that rn c:

[frosty dock]

also, does the mod you're trying to implement compatibility for also not use smods?

[tall apex]

wait do i have any jokers that reffer to that?

[strong jacinth]

Yo Aure, do you know my button is running away from me?

[tall apex]

wait could you elaborate? im still a little confused

[frosty dock]

at a glance, no

[onyx sonnet]

Do you know how Baron or Bloodstone don't work with debuffed playing cards

[tall apex]

yes!

OHHH gotcha, ill yoink code and test c:

[onyx sonnet]

Yeah i was wondering if that behaviour was automatic or programmed

I cant really check rn cuz im on my work laptop

[frosty dock]

that's automatic, debuffed cards don't go through the same scoring routine that normally scored cards do

[strong jacinth]

At further inspection?

[harsh marten]

👆🏻

[tall apex]

oh nice an actual answer X3

i wouldve made a joker just to text that LMAO

[onyx sonnet]

so for example using get_id will always return an id that never belongs to any playing card?

[strong jacinth]

I think it has something to do cuz the Game:start_run(args) is being called many times?

[tall apex]

bloodstone'nt

[frosty dock]

some variation of old_area:remove_card(card); new_area:emplace(card)

[frosty dock]

how is that scoring

I'm referring to anything that uses a calculate function of some description

[onyx sonnet]

oh do debuffed cards just not get evaluated at all?

[hushed field]

it works after a flood of spelling errors ❤️

[frosty dock]

they're not evaluated unless specifically told to

[onyx sonnet]

neat

[minor magnet]

how would i go about increasing boss blind required chips with a joker?

[hushed field]

G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips * [whatever]

[tall apex]

Times one BEELION

[frosty dock]

I really don't want to deal with UI code rn

[hushed field]

do you ever actually 'want to' or do you just get yourself to do it sometimes?

[strong jacinth]

Okay

:(

[next timber]

what does the red half of this description sound like its saying? trying to keep the description concise and perhaps a bit obfuscated for the funnies

[silk scaffold]

my mind thinks that it applies a negative edition to your playing card but, it doesnt state how or bring clarity

teh enhancement itself is called asbestos?

oh i see what its supposed to mean

Value may reach a negative value

[sour marsh]

if you apply another enhancement it becomes negative right?

[silk scaffold]

might be better

[sour marsh]

ohhh'

[tall wharf]

i have not a single clue what's going on

[frosty dock]

it's not usually my favorite anyway, but rn I just don't have the brain power for it

[hushed field]

I spent three hours on it after work today doing very simple UI stuff and I'm braindead now, so I get it, haha

[next timber]

actually its meant to be 2 seperate things:
the value can decrease to negative if its there for too many played hands, AND
if you try to discard or destroy it it has a chance of coming back worse

ill prolly make it more descriptive

[tall apex]

ah time to draw a skeleton

[orchid thunder]

what did i do wrong

[tall apex]

i didnt mean to reply to that LMAO

[zealous glen]

It must go. Its planet needs it.

[next timber]

???

[sour marsh]

xmult can go negative and if you try to remove the enhancement something bad happens but i can't tell what

[frosty dock]

you're modifying the table you're iterating over

[sour marsh]

is that it

[minor magnet]

did not seem to work, and, made my blind radioactive

[orchid thunder]

then how do i move all the cards

[zealous glen]

Actually Idk if making it go negative is a good idea since you can combine two to make it positive again

but maybe that's what you want

[frosty dock]

you're fine if you do it backwards i think

[hushed field]

probably has to do with how you're setting it then. What's your code?

[strong jacinth]

It just doesn't get paid enough to deal with another player

[frosty dock]

for i = #G.jokers.cards, 1, -1 do

[minor magnet]

it's just this

[zealous glen]

Take a look at Champion from my mod

[minor magnet]

victin i love you wait lemme take a look

(platonic)

[frosty dock]

iirc that works internally, it just doesn't update the display

[orchid thunder]

i hate uis

[silk scaffold]

would it function like that?
i thought the mult just functions on correcting the value of score by a number of 5 in this case or if it were negative dividing it down

[sour marsh]

hold on what would negative xmult even do? would you score negative chips? i know fractional mult would decrease chips

[next timber]

i miight try janking it to count how many you have and accounting for that so it always ends up negative

[silk scaffold]

i have to start concepting for my mod plans

[zealous glen]

I'm not sure what you mean, but xMult multiplies the current Mult, so if you multiply by two negative numbers in a row it becomes positive

[orchid thunder]

why

[frosty dock]

20*.6 is an odd way to write 12

[orchid thunder]

idk il change that but just bruh

[silk scaffold]

well ik but is that how balatro would calculate two negative x-mults?

[frosty dock]

balatro doesn't make multiplication work different

[onyx sonnet]

doesnt smod refuse to calc any returned xmults that are equal or below 0?

[zealous glen]

Balatro uses real numbers so it uses real multiplication and real addition
-# technically floats not reals but shhhh

[silk scaffold]

ah i see, good to note
thx yall

[frosty dock]

perhaps it used to, but no

[zealous glen]

SMODS removed the restrictions on that from vanilla, although I think the card stats added some of them back

[tall wharf]

why does it work onl for a split second 😭

[next timber]

well see this is just a mouthful

[zealous glen]

@frosty dock I think some card statistics like bonus chips and such can't be negative

[next timber]

id test it right now except asbestos cards area ctually broken right now :p

[frosty dock]

really

[zealous glen]

well, I remember Lars and Baliame discussing and deciding to implement it this way

[tall wharf]

@frosty dock do you have any ideas as to what is going on in the ui

[zealous glen]

but I could be wrong

quick everyone ask aure about your UI

[red flower]

why are there so many ui questions today

[minor magnet]

ok that works great, now i need to implement it incrementing the score every like, 5 seconds spent

[zealous glen]

@frosty dock if you would answer the question "how are ui?" using a Balatro UI element instead of words, how would you?

[minor magnet]

is there a timer already in the game or do i need to implement one myself?

[zealous glen]

I think Cryptid does that

[zealous glen]

a few

G.TIMERS.…

[frosty dock]

"how are ui?"

what even does that mean

[frosty dock]

oh i see

[zealous glen]

I meant to type "how are you" but my brain was rotted by UI

I'm becoming half-human half-UI

[minor magnet]

which one do you recommend i use?

[zealous glen]

Idk

[orchid thunder]

why cant i move ths stupid card area

[frosty dock]

also uh this is still true

[zealous glen]

I think for your use case they're equivalent

[minor magnet]

ok alr i'll handle this myself

[zealous glen]

then "how are you" but you answer using G.UI.T

[zealous glen]

I don't even think you need to handle timers directly

[frosty dock]

can you please stop bothering me

[zealous glen]

Just set a recurring Event on a 5 second delay

Sorry I just wanted to ask how you are in a funny way

[tall wharf]

arioght

anyway how are you doing

[frosty dock]

I'm tired and kinda braindead for some reason

I'm not even sure why

[zealous glen]

can you take a break

[tall wharf]

maybe take a little walk outside?

[zealous glen]

play with your cat

[frosty dock]

it's 9pm smh, dark af out there

[tall wharf]

unless you just came back from some labour

ah

right

[hushed field]

ignore the fucked text and the nonsense thematics of it all, but it's working

[tall wharf]

forgot about timezones

[frosty dock]

I came back like an hour ago from an orchestra rehearsal

[tall wharf]

oh

[zealous glen]

ohhh do you play

[hushed field]

also ignore my broken fucking brain forgetting how straights work ❤️

[tall wharf]

rehearsal

[zealous glen]

impressive

[tall wharf]

?

mandatory?

[zealous glen]

do you sleep aiko

[frosty dock]

we have a concert next week

so yeah i kinda have to be there

[zealous glen]

[frosty dock]

i would but he's sleeping

[zealous glen]

fair

[tall wharf]

cat

[zealous glen]

[frosty dock]

meow

[zealous glen]

[minor magnet]

oh, ye that would work

[tall wharf]

as soon as the shift button works ill sleep

[sturdy compass]

You are insane

[onyx sonnet]

god i wish we could just press ctrl esc or something instead of having to hold M, it keeps auto focusing the window under it

[sturdy compass]

I feel that

[onyx sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-no-wait-wait-wait-gif-23893070

[sturdy compass]

yes

[zealous glen]

insanely multitalented

[frosty dock]

i mean I've wanted to make it configurable

small problem, my UI would suck

actually I think I'll just add alt+f5 for now

[tall wharf]

I LOVE WORKING WITH UI

[next timber]

whats the correct context for a card that's being discarded? i thought it would be context.discard and context.cardarea == G.discard but that only triggered when other cards were being discarded while the card was already in the discard pile

[tall wharf]

ok seriously i cannot for the life of me figure out what's wrong

[zealous glen]

there's a context before discards

[frosty dock]

you don't need an area check I think

[onyx sonnet]

can someone tell me why perma mult has this extra +?

[frosty dock]

huh

[zealous glen]

maybe @tepid crow

[red flower]

i have no idea but maybe you need a root node wrapping the text node?

[onyx sonnet]

wait

OHHHH

nvm

[tepid crow]

did you add any localization yourself for permanent +mult?

[onyx sonnet]

its because i had an old version of neato jokers installed which had its own permamult localization

[tepid crow]

Heyyy it's my fault

😎

[onyx sonnet]

😭

you were just ahead of your time

nobody was ready for your swag

[tepid crow]

Truly

[zealous glen]

Lars copying Lars

[tall wharf]

what the fuck is going on

[tepid crow]

looks good to me, ship it

[red flower]

you might need a row or column wrapping it too

[zealous glen]

[tall wharf]

sigh

[tepid crow]

wait

[worthy stirrup]

This crashes whenever it tries to score a card.

[primal robin]

Are you inventing screen keyboard?

[tepid crow]

are you trying to implement a keyboard in balatro?

[worthy stirrup]

ill send the crash log in a sec

[red flower]

you used to many letters in your mod you dont need anymore

[tall wharf]

i copied the vanilla one and made it support the shift key

[tepid crow]

context.other_card doesn't always exist

[tall wharf]

that's all i am trying to do

[minor magnet]

i believe i may have made a blunder

[primal robin]

Imagine SMODS.Keybind support not only keyboard

[tall wharf]

me when i forgot to return true

[tall apex]

oh how i love taking shitty stock photos and compressing them to 71 by 95

[onyx sonnet]

THE SKELETON APPEARS

[tall apex]

my baby boy <3

[harsh marten]

why am i crashing?

[next timber]

ok context.discard triggers whenever any card is discarded, how do i make it only trigger when the card running the calculate() is discarded?

[tall apex]

note since its a png i literally put the pixel ratio in the corner LMAO

[worthy stirrup]

it no longer crashes but now it just doesnt give 2 x_mult

[tall apex]

the joker is literally called skeleton.png

[next timber]

i love it

[harsh marten]

these people will refuse to help me i've asked like 20 questions good luck

[worthy stirrup]

nah, you just gotta wait

trust

[harsh marten]

i have been lmao

[tall apex]

im the joker im literally the joker im like "why're mods so.., SERIOUS??"

[frosty dock]

this is minimal information smh

[harsh marten]

sure this one is, but not the other 19 ive asked

[worthy stirrup]

i mean, i would also send the crash log

[tall wharf]

i must be doing something right

[harsh marten]

i didnt go through the effort of doing a pastebin when no one is going to read it anyway

[tall wharf]

because the capital letters flashes a bit before disappearing

[worthy stirrup]

bro... send ur message as a file

[tall wharf]

what's the keybind to debug layout again

[frosty dock]

uhm

[minor magnet]

question

how do i make recurring events without putting them in the update function

[harsh marten]

I was obviously exagerating

[minor magnet]

i want to simply make an event repeat every 5 seconds

[worthy stirrup]

wait is this how you get x_mult to do the x_mult job

x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult

as well as it being in return

[zealous glen]

two ways

if you look at the code for Champion

I create an Event inside an Event

[frosty dock]

anyways I can't help you with this amount of information

[zealous glen]

In my case, it was because the Blind UI doesn't always exist

so it's waiting until the Blind UI exists

[harsh marten]

im trying to do the same thing except for a custom edition

I have the following but it doesn't seem to do anything:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult
            }
        end
    end

[worthy stirrup]

wait, is x_mult just xmult

[harsh marten]

maybe

idk

[frosty dock]

editions shouldn't evaluate in context.joker_main

use context.pre_joker or context.post_joker

[worthy stirrup]

its xmult

[frosty dock]

depending on if it should trigger before or after the main effect of the joker in this stage

[frosty dock]

either works

[harsh marten]

so like this?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.post_joker then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end

[tall wharf]

why is it red

[worthy stirrup]

im not sure if im overlooking something

[tall wharf]

oh collision i guess

[frosty dock]

context.other_card is present in lots of contexts

you need to check for the specific one you want

[worthy stirrup]

oh, really?

[frosty dock]

here you want context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual

[worthy stirrup]

im trying to do what trib does and i saw it do the same thing

thanks

[tall wharf]

okay what the hell is this debug mode

[frosty dock]

also remove these lines

[kind pelican]

hello everyone, i am new to balatro modding. I'm trying to trigger an effect on scoring (much like with calculate functions) but without needing any joker, edition, specific card, etc. Basically it should always trigger on scoring. I've read the doc and can't find something that helps me, do you guys have an idea how i could achieve that ? thank you

[worthy stirrup]

oh

wait, that becomes message doesnt it

[frosty dock]

what is the condition for the effect?

[kind pelican]

basically, it should always happen when any joker or card is scored

[frosty dock]

is it a deck effect or something

[kind pelican]

no, always on

[zealous glen]

I created a CardArea to hide invisible Jokers in and calculated them there

[frosty dock]

just inherent to your mod

[zealous glen]

the Jokers don't show up in the collection or anything

[frosty dock]

that works

[kind pelican]

yes exactly

[worthy stirrup]

wait, how do i put a message on the card, i see message_card but im not sure if i call for that as in message_card = "" or something else

[frosty dock]

or you can make use of an existing such area and always (silently) redeem a voucher on run start and use that to calculate

[kind pelican]

i thought of something like that but did not know wether it was possible, i will look into it

[frosty dock]

should be automatic, you can put something like message_card = card or message_card = context.other_card if you want to force a repositioning of the message

[zealous glen]

I have a patch to do it

[fallow sphinx]

I've been brainstorming an idea and just need to know if something specific is possible. Is SMODS capable of dynamically changing a joker texture when specific things happen? Just as an example if I have one steel card in my deck it's one texture but if I had a second or more it's a different texture? I know animated textures exist for things like the Jimball in Cryptid

[zealous glen]

I think the code is there but hidden in my mod's current release

[zealous glen]

not directly supported but you can make things like that

[worthy stirrup]

okay sweet, how red (how to make the message a red background)

[fallow sphinx]

Gotcha, that's what I figured. I'll have to dig into it

[harsh marten]

this prints test but doesn't give me the mult:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.post_joker then
            print("test")
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.x_mult
            }
        end
    end

[frosty dock]

okay what version of smods are you using

[zealous glen]

did you activate the additional option

[harsh marten]

smods-1.0.0-beta-0312b

[frosty dock]

what additional option

this isn't post_trigger

[harsh marten]

sorry whats this mean?

[zealous glen]

My bad I misread

[kind pelican]

can i just start by creating the joker and adding the effects then worry about hiding it a bit later into developpement ?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[frosty dock]

mb that's irrelevant i just found the issue

card.ability.extra belongs to the card's center, i.e. the data of the joker itself

edition config is stored in card.edition

[harsh marten]

xmult = card.edition.extra.x_mult?

[frosty dock]

yeah if your edition config is set up with an extra

(though it's not strictly needed)

[harsh marten]

its in config

[frosty dock]

if it's directly in config, no extra

[tall wharf]

ok i think i know what's going on

[frosty dock]

card.edition is basically a copy of your config along with some other information

[tall wharf]

it get's scaled to oblivion

[frosty dock]

so card.edition.x_mult

[worthy stirrup]

is it just me, or does Trib have a diffrent score sound

[frosty dock]

no

[worthy stirrup]

oh

im just crazy

[harsh marten]

that worked tysm

[worthy stirrup]

oh, the scoring on my modded card plays the chip score sound, not the x_mult sound

im not sure if i can change that

oh, i see how

[minor magnet]

ok i fucked something up but this is so funny i've got to get you guys a video wait

[worthy stirrup]

one last question, what do i look for when finding what sounds it uses, because I see generic1 is listed on the wiki but i dont know how to call for it or the other sounds

[worthy stirrup]

oh theres a sounds wiki

[next timber]

why do people add cards to the title screen is that a tradition i've yet to learn

[next timber]

LMAO????

"no, fuck you actually"

[minor magnet]

it looks cool

[minor magnet]

LMAO EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT

[next timber]

i love the pause at the end like "well. the fuck am i meant to do about this"

[minor magnet]

A part of me wants to keep it like this

[tall wharf]

+10% blind req every time something happens

❤️

[minor magnet]

+10% blind req every time the joker feels like it

[ruby delta]

Can someone please help me to fix the bug (cryptid)

[next timber]

lmao??

cryptid is the bug

[ruby delta]

Can someone please help me to fix the bug (cryptid)

[next timber]

the presence of cryptid is the bug

[ruby delta]

💀

There are some joker cards which have a top layer asset but for some reason it floats like this instead of sticking with the card

[worthy stirrup]

how do i make my joker play the MultiHit2 sound?

[tall apex]

cryptid my bugloved

[tall wharf]

ok at this point i dont' care anymore ill revert to the laggy dynatext impl until someone comes up with something that works

[next timber]

ok wait actual joker idea (and make it a snapcube reference because why not)
Something Just Happened:
gain 0.1 chips whenever literally anything happens

[hushed field]

how are you gonna define 'anything'? haha

[next timber]

anything that triggers a context id assume

[hushed field]

a context being checked doesn't per se mean anything happened in it tho

[tall wharf]

i have a joker that checks for mult and chip change

[zealous glen]

It's not too different from making a Joker

[frosty dock]

sob:

[zealous glen]

Is there documentation for the new Blind contexts?

[minor magnet]

due to my inferior programming skills, i still haven't got the recurring event working

any tips?

[noble schooner]

"I can do anything!" - An insane jester, probably

[zealous glen]

In hindsight the specific timer used might matter since you can change the gamespeed, but Events can also be told which timer to use.

You probably don't want it to be blocking, but Idk about blocked

[next timber]

omg jevil joker

[zealous glen]

also Cryptid has a similar Blind which could be helpful to use as a reference

[frosty dock]

there's a rewrite of the calculate docs in progress, i wanted to wait for that

for now uh there's this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/commit/d4a5ebac18a2cdadec7d06ed5b73ffeb9cb7fc88

[next timber]

is there a way to make a card that's being discarded in context.discard be drawn back to the hand instead?

[frosty dock]

not sure how clean that is, but i think you can draw the card back to G.hand in an event

[kind pelican]

sorry to bother again, i actually want my effect to trigger during the scoring, basically every ding you hear during scoring triggers it, what's the best way to do this

[frosty dock]

sounds like a use for context.post_trigger

it happens after anything calculated with an effect basically

[fallen osprey]

added this and it started freaking out

[frosty dock]

you can narrow down further what happened by checking context.other_context

you do have to enable it like SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { post_trigger = true }

[frosty dock]

the key should be the same as your consumable type

on the undiscovered sprite

[minor magnet]

i've found this solution to be optimal, but it only happens on contexts if i use it in the calculate functions, is there a workaround to this?

[fallen osprey]

oh shiz ty

[minor magnet]

wait i have an idea

[fallow sphinx]

This is such a specific question but does anyone know where the animation for the jimball is in Cryptid's code so I can get an idea of how it works?

[fallen osprey]

k i did that but its still giving me the error, i did save already btw

[zealous glen]

you can also check out Aura

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1249486500811378718

[fallow sphinx]

Good to know! That's probably a better one to take a look at

[zealous glen]

if you just want to change textures occasionally, Bunco also does it with the tape

[frosty dock]

oop that wasn't the source of the crash, just the first thing I saw

it's this

[kind pelican]

how can I add a joker to my jokers directly when the run is started ?

[zealous glen]

MathIsFun reused Jimball's code for Aura

[frosty dock]

the text isn't a table

[fallow sphinx]

Gotcha

[fallen osprey]

oh zoinks you right

[next timber]

trying to test the asbestos card and it refuses to draw to my hand

as i typed that it drew to my hand

[fallen osprey]

ty

[old bane]

im trying to make a soul-like card for a specific rarity and it just keeps giving me jimbo

local t = {
    set = 'Joker',
    rarity = 'pm_bosses',
}
SMODS.add_card(t)

here's the code

SMODS.Rarity{
    key = "bosses",
    default_weight = 0,
    badge_colour = HEX("9c1072"),
    pools = {["Joker"] = true},
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}

and here's my rarity

[harsh marten]

how do I cause a card to retrigger?

[next timber]

i think i've got the description for asbestos to be just short and brief enogh that im happy enough with it for now

[fallen osprey]

now im having a new issue, after I added the consumable type and a card, now its crashing because of this, and saying something about one of my jokers before

[frosty dock]

what kind of card

[tall apex]

athbethtus

[harsh marten]

just a regular one

not a joker

[frosty dock]

a playing card

right?

retriggered by... a joker?

[kind pelican]

how can i add a joker to deck on run start ?

[harsh marten]

retriggered by a edition

[fallen osprey]

i know you can spawn one with debug plus but i dont know through coding or anything

[frosty dock]

so it retriggers itself, like a red seal

[harsh marten]

yep

[frosty dock]

context.repetition_only then

you should return something like { repetitions = <number of reps> }

you can add a message, by default it'll be "Again!"

[kind pelican]

i want every run to have this joker on start

so not just using debug

[frosty dock]

this also isn't a deck effect, right?

[kind pelican]

no

[harsh marten]

SMODS.Edition({
    key = "e_gun_gold",         -- Edition key.
    raw_key = true,         -- Use the key exactly as provided.
    shader = "shiny",       -- Use the shader registered for this edition.
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Gun Gold Edition",    -- Displayed at the top of info boxes.
        label = "Gun Gold",             -- Appears on badges.
        text = {
            "Cause a card to retrigger 3 times
        }
    },
    discovered = true,      -- Mark as discovered.
    unlocked = true,        -- Available by default.
    config = {
        chips = 0,       -- Bonus chips.
        mult = 0,         -- Bonus multiplier.
        x_mult = 0,        -- This will double the card's multiplier.
        p_dollars = 0,
        card_limit = 0,
    },
    in_shop = false,         -- Can spawn in the shop.

    loc_vars = function(self)
        return { vars = { self.config.chips, self.config.mult, self.config.x_mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if if context.repetition_only then
            return {
                repetitions = {3}
            }
        end
    end
})

like this?

[frosty dock]

repetitions = 3

• if if

other than that, yeah

also why are you using raw_key

that's been deprecated for quite some time

[frosty dock]

you should hook Back:apply_to_run and add an event that adds the joker with SMODS.add_card

[minor magnet]

is there a way to check if player is currently in a blind without contexts?

[frosty dock]

local batr = Back.apply_to_run
function Back:apply_to_run()
  batr(self)
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      func = function()
          SMODS.add_card({ key = 'j_whatever' })
          return true
      end
    }))
end

[frosty dock]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[minor magnet]

thanks🫶

[kind pelican]

it crashed when i started a run

(i did change the key)

[frosty dock]

if it's a modded joker, does it include your mod prefix?

[kind pelican]

yep missed that

[next timber]

ok

can confirm

x0 and below do not do anything

damn

hypothetically how would i patch it so that they do work

[minor magnet]

how do i word this better?

[frosty dock]

j_bh_test

[harsh marten]

is this how I remove an edition?
card:set_edition("e_gun_headshot", false)

[kind pelican]

thank you, it works

[old bane]

how do i get achievements to work >_< i'm trying to make achievements for when a boss blind is defeated and im struggling

[minor magnet]

balanced?

[old bane]

the clock be like:

[onyx sonnet]

can someone tell me why this is increasing the permanent mult on a playing card in increments of 3?

[next timber]

id love to play a challenge where you have an eternal one of these

[onyx sonnet]

it should only be increasing by 1

[next timber]

does smods mess with the score in a way that could stop x0 and below from scoring or will that be a vanilla quirk i can patch out?

[onyx sonnet]

smods patched that out

[next timber]

damn

[onyx sonnet]

so you can just xmult however you please

[next timber]

how tf do i patch it back out of smods

[onyx sonnet]

patch what out

the ability to xmult by 0 or less?

[next timber]

yes

i would like to aptch that out

for asbestos

i want asbestos to be able to x0 mult and below

[onyx sonnet]

i feel like you could just add that to your calc and make it not return if its 0 or below

[agile thistle]

you both are interpreting the exact opposite of each other

[next timber]

i think we are

[onyx sonnet]

oh

[hushed field]

this is on a joker, right?

[onyx sonnet]

pfft

[agile thistle]

as in, smods added it in, i guess

[onyx sonnet]

sorry im just stupidly tired

yeah

[next timber]

so smods prevents you from doing x0?

[onyx sonnet]

vanilla didnt allow negative or null xmult

[agile thistle]

no it specifically allows you to

[onyx sonnet]

it allows it

[frosty dock]

the first argument should just be nil to unset an edition

[next timber]

is that new because its not working for me

[onyx sonnet]

yes

[harsh marten]

ohhh okay whats the boolean for?

[frosty dock]

editions are mutually exclusive, there can only ever be one. you're not adding or removing an edition ever

[minor magnet]

????

[frosty dock]

there's two boolean flags you can pass, "immediate" and "silent"

[agile thistle]

this is because jimbo despises you

[hushed field]

I don't see anything in the code here that should trigger it multiple times, honestly. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it's probably not happening because of a missing context check or anything

[frosty dock]

immediate removes the visual delay of applying the edition

[onyx sonnet]

did the round end as the score increased?

so the game read it as a loss?

[minor magnet]

yes i think that's what's happening

[frosty dock]

silent removes the edition sound

[next timber]

its not a bug its a feature

it keeps you on your toes

[agile thistle]

probably just add conditionals for when it can deplete then

[sour marsh]

you could check after you score whether you beat the blind and stop increasing

[hushed field]

ugh, i'm not enjoying trying to construct proper strings. I'm going to have to figure out when localize is going to return a table, and when it returns a string. Maybe there's a smarter way to do this than to stack localize funcs

[onyx sonnet]

the weird thing is the card description shows the correct value

[tall apex]

ok so

[harsh marten]

This is giving me an assertion failed crash

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.post_joker then
            card:set_edition("nil", true)
            return {
                xmult = card.edition.x_mult
            }
        end
    end

[next timber]

with the smods allowing for 0 and negative xmult, does that extend to in-hand mult? cause i have a card in my hand with -5 h_x_mult and its doing jack shit

[sour marsh]

i hate that about lua

weakly typed languages 💔

[onyx sonnet]

its also only an issue with the mult

the bonus chips are fine

[sour marsh]

try making a joker with -5xmult

to see if it's that

[hushed field]

that's so strange. do you have any patches that could cause that?

[onyx sonnet]

none that i know of?

[next timber]

ok making joker speedrun ig

[onyx sonnet]

unless i have some leftovers from neato

[tall apex]

i had a run where i got a soul card and i got my useless joker for the first time in an actual run and im actually voming and crying this difficulty is so difficult and because i felt so stupid that i had MADE THAT JOKER INTO EXISTANCE, the cryptid time scaling ante got way past the base score i was barely on pace with as i walked around my room holding my head in my hands

[sour marsh]

hold on let me do it i have it set up

[next timber]

cool thx

[hushed field]

localization's a bitch in any language in my experience but maybe that's just me hating anything that isn't just making jokers give xmult

[sour marsh]

-5xmult doesnt do shit on jokers either

[onyx sonnet]

do you have an older version of smods?

[next timber]

ok so negative xmult is broken

how do i check what version of smods im running

[sour marsh]

yeah localizations are hard but the fact that something can return a table or a string is bad

[next timber]

according to the manifest json im running 1.0.0 but idk if thats just like a placeholder

[hushed field]

the main issue with it is that it fucksme up the moment I'm switching language 😢

[onyx sonnet]

look at the top right when on the balatro main menu

[next timber]

1.0.0~BETA-0314b-STEAMODDED

[sour marsh]

i lied it works

[next timber]

wh

[sour marsh]

i just did it wrong

i had a broken if statement

it gives you negative chips

[onyx sonnet]

that's new enough

[next timber]

im wondering if its just because its h_x_mult and not x_mult

[onyx sonnet]

can you show your code

[next timber]

if thats the case

[next timber]

its weird

theres no fancy code i literally just gave the card -5 h_x_mult to test and its not doing anything

[onyx sonnet]

try doing it with just regular x mult?

[hushed field]

Just gonna shut off for tonight, I've been setting up this quest system for too long and I'm starting to see untyped variable declarations float in my vision when I close my eyes

[next timber]

lol

good night mr kino

[zealous glen]

What do you think

@hushed field Goodnight Ice (Balatro Goes Mimimi)

[next timber]

so it just adds more cards to your deck?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[next timber]

doesnt seem like a very hard blind

[zealous glen]

It's not

[hushed field]

i'd go to sleep but i'mma watch a movie instead

[zealous glen]

It can make your run harder though

[next timber]

absolute cinema

[zealous glen]

or easier

[zealous glen]

watch Inception

[sour marsh]

add a copy of all your discards would be kinda sick tho

[next timber]

the blueful blue joker:

[zealous glen]

I thought that'd be too beneficial

[sour marsh]

hmmmm

it could be

[hushed field]

rewatched that recently, not gonna be it. Also too mad at Inception for being a hard to code joker that I still need to fix

[next timber]

hm, -5x normal mult isnt working either

just ognna test that positive 5 does work

[zealous glen]

find the Donald Duck comic book Inception was based on and watch a slideshow of it

[hushed field]

why is nobody working on a duck tales mod???

[zealous glen]

new DuckTales or old DuckTales

[next timber]

cause we're too busy modding the stupidest bullshit

like. asbestos

[sour marsh]

"discard a copy of all played and discarded cards would be a mess tho"

[zealous glen]

I enjoyed new DuckTales but now I'm reminded I didn't finish the last season

[sour marsh]

might be too evil

[zealous glen]

too beneficial still

[hushed field]

I really like the new ducktales, no clue about the old one, though

[zealous glen]

though very messy

[next timber]

ok so yeah its just negative mults arent working for me at all

[zealous glen]

nubby's number factory reference

[long sun]

hi! finally getting around to fixing Train Station

(first of all, ya, it needs nerfed to +1 Mult)

[zealous glen]

I wonder if @tepid crow removed it for everything ;P

[long sun]

second, you can see what the error is :) lemme grab the code

[sour marsh]

what about "for every discarded card, discard a copy of a random card in your deck" no benefit unless your deck is trimmed

[harsh marten]

what am I doing wrong?

[long sun]

the ERROR is from this line:
localize(G.GAME.current_round.train_station_card.rank, 'ranks')

[zealous glen]

at that point it could just copy random cards at the beginning of the Blind

[long sun]

(also third thing, the ability should say "increases")

[zealous glen]

I don't want to make Water 2

[tepid crow]

is this for perma stuff?

[long sun]

(instead of changes)

[zealous glen]

and I don't want to copy random cards

[sour marsh]

hmmmmm

[next timber]

i cant get negative xmult to work

[zealous glen]

no but maybe it interfaces with get_…

[tepid crow]

I'm not sure that ever actually worked?

[sour marsh]

ok i had an idea just now

unrelated

[long sun]

this is the code that increases the rank (and in there is another Joker that you can ignore)

what am i doing wrong?

[zealous glen]

I think there are better ideas; my issue is that those better ideas were implemented by Myst and/or Autumn

[zealous glen]

is this the part that's wrong or is it your loc_vars that's wrong

[sour marsh]

what about "discard a copy of first discard, first discard must be 5 cards" if you play some hands you can make it beneficial but if you get unlucky you add a bunch of garbage

[long sun]

well, the loc_vars is trying to localise the value, but failing

lemme remove the localisation function so i can see what it's passing in

[zealous glen]

but maybe you're passing the value the wrong way

[zealous glen]

that's more complicated than what I usually like to make

but

[onyx sonnet]

im losing my mind

[sour marsh]

true it seems a little contrived

[zealous glen]

I was considering "Discard a copy of first 5 discarded cards"

[harsh marten]

this is the crash I am getting

[zealous glen]

self

use card

this isn't vanilla

[harsh marten]

i tried using card instead but that gave me an assertion error

[long sun]

so in the collection, it says 2

[zealous glen]

how

[sour marsh]

i thought about that but it seems really beneficial too, i guess it depends on the amount of hands you have, you could try it out and see how good it is at deckbuilding but i think it has more potential

[long sun]

hmm, beating a blind changed it to 4

[onyx sonnet]

Literally what the fuck

[long sun]

ah i see. that's a bug i can fix

[harsh marten]

using card I get this:

[long sun]

so then it's the localization function

[zealous glen]

I mean, you could do almost the same with the original version. I think you could dig slightly deeper without copying more cards, but it seems a bit contrived

[thin anchor]

all i did was add a song

[onyx sonnet]

please someone help i genuinely dont know what im doing wrong

[long sun]

it's really weird, because the game uses it like i'm using it

[sour marsh]

damnit i keep clicking the create thread button

[harsh marten]

it's because I was trying to set the edition to nil but I thought that that is how Im supposed to remove editions?

[humble dagger]

could anyone help me out with how to code a consumable that gives an enhancement?

[hushed field]

they're a real simple set up. I'm not at my pc anymore, but if you want, in #1340334060597285025's tarot.lua I've got a bunch of tarots that function exactly like the vanilla enhancement tarots, except for custom enhancements

[humble dagger]

this is freaking awesome thank ya

[harsh marten]

okay so how am I actually supposed to remove editions on cards?

[long sun]

(bump? why does passing 2 into the localization function, alongside "ranks", yield ERROR?)

(how does that function work?)

(ah wait lemme try something. maybe i have to stringify it??)

(question mark??)

[onyx sonnet]

bump

[hushed field]

The localize for ranks needs strings, yes

[thin anchor]

what does this mean

[long sun]

rightright

[sour marsh]

has anyone done a "reverse tarot" mod

[long sun]

so it's "2" = 2, "14" = Ace, right? just making sure

[thin anchor]

yes

[long sun]

cheers ^^

[next timber]

pretty sure someones working on one yea

[sour marsh]

damn

[long sun]

haha you're all geniuses!! thanks <3

[sturdy compass]

Just looked, wtf lol

[sour marsh]

has anyone done alchemical symbol consumables?

[long sun]

yup

[sour marsh]

damn

[thin anchor]

dont know what im doing wrong??? in theory it should work

[zealous glen]

multiple

[zealous glen]

there was a famous mod that was forgotten/abandoned when 1.0.0 rolled out

[old bane]

oh goodness

[zealous glen]

I do think other people are using alchemical symbols now too

[old bane]

genuinely this effect is so op im glad i thought of it

[minor magnet]

im going insane

how do i not make it activate after the round ends

[old bane]

maybe add not context.end_of_round to your if statement?

unless you tried that

[minor magnet]

tried, the bastard stiill activates

[next timber]

ok so i've patched in negative mult

it works

however. there is literally no visual indicator that anything is happening

you just. lose all of your chips

immediately. no smoothing or anything just in 1 frame back down to 0

this is jank

like. really jank wtf

i should work ont his tomorrow

[minor magnet]

OK I FIXED THE THING FUCK YEAH

[next timber]

WAIT NEVERMIND

I FUCKING FORGOT

ALL CARDS HAVE X0 MULT BY DEFAULT

YOU CANT DO JACK SHIT ANYMORE

[quartz ravine]

x0 mult, lol!

I made this enchantment that drops the card down to 0.3x mult, then increases every time it is scored. it's a slpw burn

[humble dagger]

is there like a way i can code my consumable with the mod_conv stuff cus idk how to lay it out where multiple files talk to each other i just have it all in one lua

without the mod conv i should say

[hushed field]

If you put your tarot in the same file, mod_conv should still function the exact same way!

Mod_conv is actually a tarot quality to chance the modification of a card. I suspect its there from before enhancements were called enhancements, and were called modifications instead

[humble dagger]

see that sounds about right but when i put your code for both tarot and enhancement in my lua file to test (sorry) it just crashes

[hushed field]

Oh, I'd avoid using my enhancements, I think all of them refer to variables not in your code. But in theory, you'd just need to change the mod_conv key to your enhancement key, and the tarot code should work!

Though, don't copy the if statement wrapped around it that checks the config, that's not applicable, haha

[humble dagger]

yeah i figured lol

well shucks thanks for the help at least i guess i just gotta hit it with a rock till i figure something out

[hushed field]

What's your tarot code looking like?

[humble dagger]

well it was just a simple like added +10 mult but i havent been able to even test that without the consumable working lol

[hushed field]

If you show your tarot code, I can maybe see what you're doing wrong 😄

[zealous glen]

*tarot code

[errant fulcrum]

I gotta be doing something wrong here

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            if G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level == 1 then
            local card = create_card('Planet',G.consumeables, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'star')
            card:add_to_deck()
            G.consumeables:emplace(card)
            G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
            return {
            true
                }
            end
        end

[wintry swallow]

Bit of a silly question but I figured this was the chat for that

If I make a silly music replacement pack, do all the tracks need to be the same length

Or can they be different

[dense adder]

is there something to increase the amount of cards in a booster as well as extra choose?

[thin anchor]

how would i play a sound when a joker is triggered?

[harsh marten]

can I spawn a booster pack in the shop using debug plus?

[hushed field]

Yes

[harsh marten]

how?

[zealous glen]

I think you can return something

[humble dagger]

ok so so far this is what i got, the card works and shows up in game, selected only one like i told it to but just doesnt apply the enhancement cus idk how to write that bit

and th mod conv lines up with the enhancement key

[wintry arch]

how easy is it to implement things that save your run like mr bones

like, say, vouchers or tags that do such a thing

[hushed field]

You're missing your modkey and the enhancement type for the key!

[tall apex]

hi ice :3

[hushed field]

It should be key = "m_[whatever your modkey is]_seff"

[maiden river]

somehow, some way, I fixed it

I have no clue what did it

actually I think I kept changing G.GAME['fvb_personality_rate'] instead of G.GAME['fvb_personality_mod']

[manic rune]

how do i make my mod compatible with talisman again?

[primal robin]

to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end

[analog spoke]

I'm trying to learn how to make shaders, and I've finally actually, like, made a shader, and I was gonna port it in before realizing it's not the right type of shader lmao 😭
like, I don't know how to translate any of this into the stuff I see in the balatro shaders as the text appears different lmao, any tips for shader making for someone who's just started lmaooo hehe :333

I love to, like, print this effect in someway ontop of a joker with an edition, but I don't even think my shader is the "print on top of" kind of shader lmaoooo

[zealous glen]

probably easy

A Tag might be hard

but Idk how Tags work

[tall apex]

questione c:

[humble dagger]

is there anything else i need cus it still kinda just fizzles out and doesnt apply the enhancement

[zealous glen]

Love uses a different shader language but it's close. I'd try looking at the Steamodded example shaders, and maybe the one table from the love wiki explaining the 4 differences between languages. If you've made it this far, I think you can figure out the rest.

I'm getting too tired

[rapid stag]

does anyone know off the top of their head what the function is to remove the last X amount of characters from a given string is?

[zealous glen]

maybe sub works

[wintry arch]

lua's string.sub

[minor furnace]

stackoverflow, my friend

now, I've gotta hunt down the part of the code that says if you have no cards in your hand or your deck you lose

[manic rune]

string.sub("your string",1,#"your string" - X)

[primal shoal]

thoughts?

[zealous glen]

interesting

complex tho

[minor furnace]

so discards no longer allow you to draw

[humble dagger]

ok after i moved the mod conv INSIDE the config it just gives me this crash error

[rapid stag]

i mean, i think it should also show the current -hand size in current, but i guess you can also just check that by looking down

[minor furnace]

I might suggest phrasing it as "do not draw after discard" instead of the -1 hand size thing. I think the description is more intuitive this way

[harsh marten]

how do I spawn a specific booster in the shop using debugplus?

[minor furnace]

although, the game does force a draw if there a re 0 cards in your hand, so you'll have to worry about how that interacts with this I think

[primal shoal]

press 3 in the collection on the booster you want to spawn (in the shop)

[primal shoal]

simple 0 check will do

[harsh marten]

sorry im confused

[limpid flint]

Hi confused

[primal shoal]

when in the shop, go option-> collection->booster pack, hover over the desired booster, press 3 on your keyboard

[harsh marten]

are my modded packs supposed to show up in that menu?

[primal shoal]

yes

[harsh marten]

dang what's wrong with my booster code then?

SMODS.Booster{
    name = "Arsenal",
    key = "arsenal",
    kind = "Guns",
    atlas = "Arsenal",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = 3, choose = 1 },
    cost = 999,
    order = 4,
    weight = 0,
  draw_hand = false,
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true,
  no_collection = true,
    create_card = function(self, card, i)

    -- force pack_choices to 1
    G.GAME.pack_choices = 1

    local gun_cards = {'Sniper', 'Pistol', 'SMG', 'Shotgun'}
    local temp_card = {area = G.pack_cards, key = gun_cards[1 + (i-1)%6], no_edition = true, skip_materialize = true}
    return SMODS.create_card(temp_card)
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.config.center.config.choose, card.ability.extra - 1, 1 } }
    end,
  in_pool = function(self)
    return false
  end,
    group_key = "k_arsenal_packs",
}

[native zinc]

doth confused

[primal shoal]

card in that context is self right?
if G.jokers.cards[i] == card

[native zinc]

oop

yes

[minor furnace]

it may be a more productive use of my time to ask if anyone knows where the code that loses a run is

[primal shoal]

no_collection = true
make it no appear anywere you can spawn it

[rapid stag]

i would like to turn all of these red buttons blue

but after poking through ui_definitions.lua post patches and trying to patch in some changes myself, i can't seem to make it change from red. what should i do?

[minor furnace]

Hu Cards

[red flower]

the patch doesn't seem hard

[marble flint]

this might be something steamodded just Yoinks (meaning the original game's version is no longer used at all)?

[harsh marten]

It crashes when I open the pack

SMODS.Booster{
    name = "Arsenal",
    key = "arsenal",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Arsenal Booster Pack",       -- Shown on the pack opening screen.
        group_name = "Arsenal",              -- Group text (bottom text) for the pack.
        text = { "Get your arsenal of guns!" }  -- Description.
    },
    kind = "Guns",
    atlas = "Arsenal",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    order = 4,
    weight = 0,
  draw_hand = false,

    local temp_card = {area = G.pack_cards, key = gun_cards[1 + (i-1)%6], no_edition = true, skip_materialize = true}
    return SMODS.create_card(temp_card)
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

    end,
  in_pool = function(self)
    return false
  end,
    group_key = "k_arsenal_packs",
}```

[rapid stag]

figured it out

[dense adder]

is there any documentation to how to increase the amount of boosters in a shop

[primal shoal]

code i used for testing

SMODS.Booster{
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Arsenal",
        text = {"description"}
    },
    key = "arsenal",
    atlas = "booster",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = 3, choose = 1 },
    cost = 999,
    order = 4,
    weight = 0,
    draw_hand = false,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    no_collection = true,
    gun_cards = {'Sniper', 'Pistol', 'SMG', 'Shotgun'},
    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        local temp_card = {key = self.gun_cards[1 + (i-1)%6],
            no_edition = true,

    end,
    in_pool = function(self)
        return false
    end,
    group_key = "k_arsenal_packs",
}

[minor furnace]

da ba dee da ba die

[red flower]

no but it's SMODS.change_booster_limit

[harsh marten]

Yeah I still get the crash with this when I open the pack

[primal shoal]

change the atlas my bad

[harsh marten]

I did that already

[primal shoal]

same error?

[dense adder]

ok this work thanks dont know how i bugged it this much

[harsh marten]

yep

[red flower]

maybe you called it multiple times?

[dense adder]

maybe, im trying to have one extra while held by a joker

[primal shoal]

third var in here

[rapid stag]

...are you guys SURE that pattern in the patcher has to be the entire line?

[red flower]

modify it by +1 in add_to_deck and by -1 in remove_from_deck

[harsh marten]

sorry, what about it?

[dense adder]

Not sure whrere that would fit in here

    
    calculate = function (self, card, context)
      SMODS.change_booster_limit(card.ability.extra.bonus)

end

[red flower]

use add_to_deck instead of calculate

[primal shoal]

it does it every cal step

[dense adder]

ahhh

that makes sence

[native zinc]

lies and slander (it still proc'd, my blueprint code is fine, just not the disc)

ignore my pretty sample art

[harsh marten]

Im new to lua and balatro modding lol so idk whats wrong with it

[primal shoal]

try this return { vars = { card.ability.choose, card.ability.extra - 1, 1 } }

[harsh marten]

same crash

[humble dagger]

what would i have to add to my smod code to enable me to have 2 seals on top of each other like this?
like how can i remove the 1 seal per card limit?

[warped marsh]

SMODS.add_card({ key = "c_fool" }
what would it be for a random tarot card?

[red flower]

set = "Tarot"

[warped marsh]

instead of key?

[red flower]

yeah

[warped marsh]

thank you <3

[primal shoal]

    loc_txt = {
        name = "Arsenal",
        text = {"description"}
    },

    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = 3, choose = 1 },

i think you just gotta return the full key now

[primal shoal]

^

aka
j_[modprex here]_Pistol

[harsh marten]

same crash

i did gun_cards = {'j_bulletro_Sniper', 'j_bulletro_Pistol', 'j_bulletro_SMG', 'j_bulletro_Shotgun'},

[primal shoal]

is bulletro your prefix?

[harsh marten]

yep

[dim fiber]

Is it possible to change or add code to the card add_to_deck function?

[primal shoal]

like in vanilla jokers?

[primal shoal]

just for test stuff can you change the temp card to this

            no_edition = true,
            skip_materialize = true}

[dim fiber]

like in every card, the actual Card:add_to_deck function

[dense adder]

its working now thanks

[harsh marten]

crashed still

[noble schooner]

should I make a meme joker that's just 0x mult and 0x chips

and costs $69 in shop

[primal shoal]

hmm if you want you could send the mod so i can have a viable debug session

[primal shoal]

lol

[minor furnace]

I finally found the code that kills you

I think

[harsh marten]

sent it

[native zinc]

fixed! good code:

[primal shoal]

miss clicked send it again

[harsh marten]

there you go lol

[primal shoal]

thx

[native zinc]

i don't like it when i search up questions and they and up having no replies on stackexchange so i always post my fixed code lmao. config center blueprint_compat

this is alsop how i end up learning diet soda is compatible

[errant fulcrum]

You're a blessing

I do so much searching in this channel

[mint island]

Anyone have any custom decks I can download and try?

[native zinc]

i think that's #⚙・modding-general

but im pr sure there's a git thing

with a lot of mods

[tall wharf]

i mean i do
