``` why isn't this deck localization working? It just says ERROR in game. I've checked and the key of the deck is `key = "stone"`, so I don't see why it's not working? (also why tf are decks called Back)

you forgot your mod prefix i believe

I think they're called "backs" because the art is the back of the card

I'm cross-referencing with another mod that I often look at to see how stuff is done (Prism) and they seem to do it the same way? ```lua
return {
descriptions = {

Back = {
b_prism_purple = {
name = "Purple Deck",
text = {"Can use {C:chips}Hands{} and",
"{C:red}Discards{} interchangeably",
"{C:inactive}(Can discard using hands if no",
"{C:inactive}discards left and vice versa)"
},
},
}
}
}
only that their's works and mine doesn't for whatever reason?
and for the actual back definition the key is also key = "purple"
sturdy compass
how are you defining your actual back?
rain slate
It's like this ```lua
SMODS.Back {
key = "stone",
atlas = "teccidecks",
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
apply = function (self, back)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event {
func = function ()
for i = 1, #G.deck do
G.deck[i]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_stone"])
end
end
})
end
}
and your prefix is definitely tecci?
primal shoal
SMODS.Back {
key = 'berry_holder',
loc_txt = {
name = 'placeholder',
text = {'{C:purple}"placeholder"{}',
"Start with a Deck",
"with every {C:attention}Face card{}",
"replaced with {C:attention}Queens{}",}
},
atlas = 'Deck_back',
pos = {x=1, y=0},
config = {only_one_rank = 'Queen',
unlocked = true,
discovered = true
},
apply = function(self)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
if card:get_id() == 11 or card:get_id() == 13 then
assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, self.config.only_one_rank))
end
end
end
return true
end
-- function = SMODS.change_base(card, suit, rank)
-- for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do

G.deck is the card area for playing cards in your deck
primal shoal
G.deck is the card in the deck 🙂
rain slate
yeah but for some reason changing G.playing_cards works and G.deck doesn't even do anything
like for the deck and setting the cards you get at the start
sturdy compass
I think playing_cards is all of your cards while deck is cards that aren't in play yet

a puzzle:
to make certain ui elements blue, i'm patching where it sets stuff to G.C.RED in UI_definitions.lua and in most cases, switching out G.C.RED with G.C.SECONDARY_SET.UIDefault or G.C.RED. G.C.SECONDARY_SET.UIDefault is set by my mod in its main lua file, as part of the Game:main_menu(change_context) hook to G.C.SECNODARY_SET.Spectral before the original function is called.
and it should work because as i show, it works for UIBox_button(args) and specifically only the deck create_option_cycle patch. the other patches are taking, for jokers, vouchers, tarots, spectrals & boosters - but for some reason, all of those are ending up as shown in the first image with the spectral example and post-patch UI_definitions.lua where the cycle remains red. ...but it works for the decks one. 
what am i doing wrong?

Gold star for you for writing a comprehensive question showing your working.
Curious that the deck cycle is working. In your patch for the first image, try replacing G.C.SECONDARY_SET.UIDefault with a predefined colour like G.C.PURPLE to see if it's being overriden, or if UIDefault is nil for some reason

it's a little misleading

all prices in shop is a good way to put it

increased by [percentage]

would anyone know how I can disable the shadow on the floating sprite? it kinda ruins the effect here

if you've already installed lovely, you can also go to go to the lovely dump folder which has all of the game code but with all patches applied as well, from any mods you have installed
much more useful to have around in that form

wait I found clearance sale code
if center_table.name == 'Clearance Sale' or center_table.name == 'Liquidation' then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
G.GAME.discount_percent = center_table.extra
for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
if v.set_cost then v:set_cost() end

end
``` hmmI'm mostly memeing, but reading code is a skill worth practising, and can lead you to discover a lot of undocumented functions. Ideally there would be no such thing as undocumented functions, but 🤷♂️
Definitely try and familiarise yourself with the Balatro codebase to start. For SMODS, might be easier to read the code of a few other large SMODS mods to see what's possible
rain slate
what in the fuck is G.I.CARD
scarlet spire
v:set_cost is just updating the items themselves, the real thing is G.GAME.discount_percent, the value for center_table.extra here should be in game.lua

i've been trying to read other mods, but they don't do what i'm trying to so it doesn't really help for my use case
scarlet spire
yeah extra = 25 for clearance sale
scarlet spire
ideally if you don't want to stomp the voucher behavior, you can do G.GAME.discount_percent = G.GAME.discount_percent * 2 to double prices
though, that's still difficult because collecting the voucher will reset it
rain slate
yeahhh
scarlet spire
i've been meaning to make a mod that makes all voucher behavior (where applicable) stackable instead of directly setting
for weird cases like this where it just resets the value to whatever is "expected" instead of actually changing the value in the way it says
rain slate
could I theoretically like make a new variable in G.GAME for base price percentage and then override Card:set_cost to use that instead
I think so but it might make some mods not work if they do a similar thing

something like this should work, and you can set G.GAME.prices_multiplier to whatever and it'll work, so for example G.GAME.prices_multiplier = 2 would double all prices

I see
do you think I have to reset the variable every time a run is started or smtn?
like will it carry over if I don't do that
I think so
scarlet spire
G.GAME values are reset
the "or 1" is to ensure that if it's nil (i.e. you haven't set it yet) the multiplier will be 1
scarlet spire
storing values in G.GAME is extremely useful

:get_id() usually accesses self.base.id.
self.base.value is for localization.

i may be stupid but i cant figure out which code makes the little "+mult" popups appear above cards
and chips and xmult and such
lethal ridge
i may be stupid but i cant figure out which code makes the little "+mult" popups...
Whats that
red flower
card_eval_status_text?
next timber
that sounds like it would be it
lethal ridge
Btw what are some good softwares to make pixel art in?
next timber
i use libresprite
lethal ridge
Ill check it out
lethal ridge
I use photoshop right now
lethal ridge
its aesprite but free and a little worse
Ohh i was planning on buying that
It has a sale or something
next timber
oh damn
wintry solar
i may be stupid but i cant figure out which code makes the little "+mult" popups...
when are you trying to do this?
next timber
hm? im trying to patch it, at the moment it doesn't show anything when a card gives negative mult
wintry solar
like where is the effect coming from?
wintry solar
you just return mult = X
wintry solar
yes
next timber
you dont understnad im trying to patch the function
wintry solar
why
next timber
im trying to make it also show -whatever
this
wintry solar
it already does that
next timber
for xmult
wintry solar
yes
next timber
no it doesnt i tried that
wintry solar
I'm pretty sure the only messages it won't show are 0 mult/chips or 1 xmult/xchips
next timber
well i mean i had to patch the functionality for negative xmult in myself so it makes sense id have to patch the message in too, and lo and behold when a card with negative xmult scores no message is shown
wintry solar
you definitely don't need to patch in that functionality
it's just supported by default
next timber
well i have the game open right now and no -xmult message is shown
should probably clarify im doing hand xmult specifically
h_x_mult
wintry solar
show your code pls
next timber
ok gimme a min
idk what code you want but this seems the most relevant
thast he same image twice
hang on
wintry solar
you should just use a calculate function instead of patching in a load of stuff
using values like that in config isn't recommended
next timber
so, return {x_mult = -5} in a calculate instead of config = { h_x_mult = -5}?
wintry solar
yeah that should just work
though -5 xmult is cursed and an absolutely awful effect
next timber
thats only for testing
it only gets that bad if you let it get that bad
it starts at positive x5
and gets worse the more you use it
wintry solar
I see
next timber
yeah that should just work
wow this works so much better than what i was doing
thanks
lol
ok so like. this doesnt work
is there any way of making a discarded card go back to the hand without just kiling it and making a new one
because killing it can trigger effects i dont want to trigger
zinc forum
I've did something similar recently
A card that goes back into your hand after you play it
Give me 5s, but it's going to require patching the game
zealous glen
ok so like. this doesnt work
Event timing I think
Also drawing cards the wrong way
So use Events and use the correct draw function
next timber
what's the correct function?
zealous glen
Either draw_card or CardArea:draw_card_?
I never remember if it’s from or to
But also Event timing

I don't have the dump on me so I can't exactly remember where it's going, but here's what I did:
# You - Disables card from being discarded by player
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = '''
stop_use()
G.CONTROLLER.interrupt.focus = true
G.CONTROLLER:save_cardarea_focus('hand')
'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
if v.you then
G.hand:remove_from_highlighted(v, true)
end
end
'''
match_indent = true```
Basically if the card has a special attribute (`you` in my case) then it just removes from highlighted instead of discardingokay thankss
position like in the atlas right?
zealous glen
okay thankss
For extra layers it takes a bit more work
lethal ridge
okay thanks

I don't have the dump on me so I can't exactly remember where it's going, but he...

Cryptid does it too but it had an outdated approach when I checked

Cryptid does it too but it had an outdated approach when I checked
oh really?
i was about to open cryptids code to see how they did it

zealous glen
then i shouldent check it then
I mean, checking it helped me
daring fern
Is this achievable?
The only part I've figured out how to do is to show the button.
lethal ridge
I mean, checking it helped me
then i should probably too
zealous glen
could help you
zealous glen
then i should probably too
What I did was to define a new child sprite in Card:set_sprite then bundle the extra layer into Card.soul_pos.draw
I also had to do something to hide an extra sprite clone
But
If you want lots of these
The approach Cryptid takes to Exotics might help more
For now I just wanted one or two so I didn’t take a scalable approach
Cryptid does for some Jokers
(using SMODS.DrawStep)
lethal ridge
okay thanks so much

oh shit someone else thought of imaginary numbers also
lethal ridge
oh shit someone else thought of imaginary numbers also
i love math
lethal ridge
maybe it just multiplies your mult and chips with i
iron iron
gives +i mult
next timber
that sounds practically useless
lethal ridge
but if you use it another time
it will become negative
then 2 more times will bring it back to positive
lethal ridge
wait hold on
next timber
i do plan on making a mod that fully adds imaginary numbers at some point
lethal ridge
i know what to do know
it will mult chips and mult by 10i
so if u retrigger joker 4 times
next timber
how are you going to get the legendary to trigger 4 times
lethal ridge
it will give u 10^4 mult

how are you going to get the legendary to trigger 4 times

loc vars allows you to feed variables into loc_txt

because individual runs for every card and then destroy_card runs for every card, so target_face always ends up being the last card

the individual context triggers first for every card, meaning that card.ability.extra.target_face will be overwritten every time, and only enter the destroy context afterwards, so it can only ever destroy the last card

Thanks! I'm gonna look at this next week. Really don't feel like doing more UI messing around, honestly, so just gonna leave it ugly for now and make future ice (or is that water?) solve it
dire palm
Back from my break. @modern kindle Did you find anything on how to make my blind work?
hushed field
I'm thinking of making a 'Card Set' feature for Kino, so that even if I add too many jokers, there's still ways to play with reasonable pools of jokers. That way I could create some 'play sets' for jokers and consumables, but I'd probably set it up so that users could create them themselves easily as well.
I'm suspecting a feature like that might actually be a neat add-on for other mods that add a lot of content as well. If I make that a stand-alone mod, would people be interested in setting up compatibility with it?

No, just sound = 'sound_key', will do.

ok actually lemme resay this
Does anyone know how i could reuse this code to pull the keys from all of the jokers in the game when the run starts rather than pull the ranks from the playing cards each round?
function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
-- The suit changes every round, so we use reset_game_globals to choose a suit.
G.GAME.current_round.tester_card = { jselect = "j_joker" }

if v.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card' then
table[#table + 1] = v

if table[1] then
local funny_card = pseudorandom_element(table, pseudoseed('ijiraq'))

and i cant see why
(im horribly blind)
opal holly
yeah its this part

If you want the latter, that would be `G.jokers.cards`
and this should run only once when the game starts, not every round correct?

runic pecan

Wait, which one is what you want? I'm confused.
long urchin
im using code that resets it every round as a base, this
function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
-- The suit changes every round, so we use reset_game_globals to choose a suit.
G.GAME.current_round.welder_card = { value = '5', id = 5 }

for _, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
if v.ability.effect ~= 'Stone Card' then
valid_welder_cards[#valid_welder_cards + 1] = v
end
end
if valid_welder_cards[1] then
local funny_card = pseudorandom_element(valid_welder_cards, pseudoseed('weld' .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante))
G.GAME.current_round.welder_card.value = funny_card.base.value
G.GAME.current_round.welder_card.id = funny_card.base.id
end
end```err... what do i do?
long urchin
i removed the .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante text from the pseudoseed in hopes it wont reset each round
this should reset only once when the run starts, correct?

err... what do i do?
is it in the right folder?

yurp
so @opal holly, what are you trying to do when you check context.other_card:is_face()?
wintry solar
its not displaying the x2 (if there are 4 jokers for example)
can you show your code?
warped marsh
can you show your code?
ill show you the original one, in one second
opal holly
so there are 2 things i want to do if the check is positive
- joker gains 0.2x mult per scored face card (settled)
- destroy scored face cards
long urchin
i dont think i can find it <:blueprint:1185774262519337042>
"(folder of your mod)\resources\sounds\PixelP_finger.ogg" should be the right location i believe
warped marsh
can you show your code?

if the folder doesnt already exist, make it

changing it to xmult will 100% work

it should be if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then and then run the loop for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do and an if statement below checking if v:is_face() then
red flower
they can just do context.destroying_card:is_face() !!
long urchin
no but thats just for the destroyed cards
they said they need to scale the card by X0.2 mult first
red flower
they already did the other part
long urchin
is that not what this is asking about???
thats what line 286 is
@opal holly do you need help formatting the destruction or the scaling
opal holly
yeah i want to do upgrade -> destroy, I've done the upgrade, but the destruction part is where I'm facing problems
long urchin
ahhhh
yeah then listen to n' i dont know about card destruction yet :B
just barely started ts
Wait
warped marsh
changing it to xmult will 100% work
just return { Xmult = X } and get rid of everything else?
long urchin
they can just do context.destroying_card:is_face() !!
Isn't that just going to trigger something when a face card is destroyed (like canio's X1 mult) instead of destroying all face cards in a played hand??
red flower
just return { Xmult = X } and get rid of everything else?
btw just in case it's not clear X is your value, don't type "X" directly

you'd set the atlas, coordinates, and probably also the soul and soul coordinates based on that joker. You can grab those by SMODS.Centers[//joker_key//] and then just grabbing them from there
