[manic rune]

did you stalk me

[long urchin]

how?

[turbid maple]

how are you guys pulling off stack overflows in balatro

[long urchin]

explain it like im 3 years old and have holes in my brain mr ice

[hushed field]

I've not ran into a stack overflow yet either, haha

[dull totem]

i don't know man ;-;

[manic rune]

opera gx, discord, visual studio code and balatro

boom

[red flower]

i have done my fair share of infinite loops

[long urchin]

see thats your problem right there

youre using opera gx

[warped marsh]

btw are spectral tags called? is it tag_spectral?

[manic rune]

it happened without opera gx too

i had to additionally close discord to get it going

[dull totem]

see that's your problem right there
you're playing balatro

[long urchin]

oh i never said not using opera gx would actually fix the balatro problem

i just said using opera gx is the problem

:B

[manic rune]

its not that bad...

[turbid maple]

X1.5 Mult for every 1 GB of free RAM you have

[manic rune]

guess im getting X-1.5 Mult then

[long urchin]

no no no it should do the opposite

[primal robin]

Whats happening

[long urchin]

it measures how much free ram you have when you open the game, then gives x1.5 mult for each 1gb BELOW that measured number

so we can minmax by opening balatro, then opening 15 instances of minecraft at once

[turbid maple]

here's my new joker when you obtain it starts benchmarking your gpu and-

[hushed field]

So, you have the key of the joker you're copying, right? That means you can use it to get the definition of the object by using it as a key in SMODS.Centers[//joker_key]]. For example, I might grab the atlas used by a joker by doing local _grabbedatlas = SMODS.Centers["j_jimbo"].atlas
If I want to know it's coordinates on that atlas, I'd do SMODS.Centers["j_jimbo"].pos and store that. If I then want my joker to copy that image for its art, I'd just set the atlas and pos of the joker who's art I wanna change, to the atlas and pos I grabbed

[long urchin]

do you think with the jokerdisplays mod itd just look like a wifi test

[manic rune]

time to work on a boss :3

3 phases, shouldnt be too hard

[turbid maple]

are all your blinds bosses

[manic rune]

yeah

[turbid maple]

fear

[manic rune]

all of them will have phases :3

[long urchin]

ok i think that explains it lemme try writing it

[turbid maple]

literally p2w

[modern kindle]

i am going to steal this when its done

[hushed field]

if people keep joking about p2w jokers, I'm going to make it a reality by launching a shitcoin and tying it's xmult to its value

[turbid maple]

real

[modern kindle]

can i pay you for a lose joker

fuck p2w, we go for p2l here

[long urchin]

i like that because its only p2w for people who invest, you could just download the mod and pray to god other people make sure the coin works

[hushed field]

i mean, i'm planning a pump and dump, so I guess that's true

[long urchin]

wait fr?

isnt that like

immoral??

[thin anchor]

uhm

[next timber]

people who buy crypto aren't people its fine

[long urchin]

TRVTH NVKE!!!!

[hushed field]

no, not for real, haha, I'm too technologically illiterate to set up a crypto by myself and too chill of a person to want to learn how to do it for a pump and dump 😛

[long urchin]

hmmrmrnm

[hushed field]

my plan on making money is ofc to make sure that Kino becomes very popular, and then make studios pay me to advertise their movie by adding a joker ❤️

[long urchin]

ok im not saying this should be a perma fix im suggesting it as a debug test

[manic rune]

-# meanwhile, 🧊 is already secretly scheming a balatrocoin nft project

[modern kindle]

its not immoral if i dont consider the morality

[thin anchor]

im very illiterate in lua

[long urchin]

@thin anchor can you put PixelP_Finger.ogg in the base game sounds folder instead of in your mod folder?

[turbid maple]

making a new mod where jokers have to be traded as nfts

[hushed field]

old pokemon fangame art of mine was stolen for an nft once 🥲 I felt scammed but also offended because I don't think anyone bought it

[long urchin]

i have a feeling it might be checking the base game files instead of your mod's folders

might be wrong tho

[modern kindle]

do you mind if i take your joker art for the same thing

[turbid maple]

I didn't even know you could return sounds

[manic rune]

oh, thats terrible

[hushed field]

I literally can't claim any ownership over them considering they're literally just movie posters I shrink down, so I don't think I have a leg to stand on, haha

[long urchin]

mfw gift card:

stongs

[hushed field]

it's called a conversation

[turbid maple]

LOL

[modern kindle]

hurry up and make some art you get really attached to then so i can steal it

[long urchin]

wait whered it go i was checking

[thin anchor]

pfft

[runic pecan]

Is the highlighted part in fig.1 correct? (fig.2 for reference)

[long urchin]

ah ok then its specifically a problem with the play sound and not the sound file location

[thin anchor]

hmm

[turbid maple]

can you try calling play_sound directly

[daring fern]

How could one make planets effect all hands?

[runic pecan]

You mean like Blackhole?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[manic rune]

i thinkkk you can just do string.find(joker_to_the_right.config.center.key,"j_Holotro_")?

[thin anchor]

like this

[frosty dock]

it's assets, not resources

[long urchin]

if it helps any, engine/sound_manager.lua:63 is s.created_on_state = args.state and 197 is elseif request.type == 'restart_music' then RESTART_MUSIC()

[thin anchor]

uhhh

[frosty dock]

also the sound key needs to have your mod prefix

[manic rune]

hiiii aure

did you add context.retrigger_joker to context.repetition yet :3

[long urchin]

im pretty sure PixelP is the prefix

[thin anchor]

yeah its PixelP

[daring fern]

No, I want the ingame planets to affect all hands.

[runic pecan]

What do you mean by "affect"?

[frosty dock]

alright did you change resources to assets?

[thin anchor]

yes

[frosty dock]

close but not quite. it fails if the joker you're checking doesn't have a mod

[hushed field]

only art I've done for Balatro mods that's not mostly traced is for the confections and that art's not great, haha, sorry

[long urchin]

is there a way to do a multiline comment in lua or do i need to add the -- to every line :/

[frosty dock]

--[[ like this ]]

[glad osprey]

--[[
]]

[daring fern]

Instead of the planets specific hand, it levels up all hands.

[long urchin]

ty

[frosty dock]

so black hole?

[runic pecan]

So joker_to_the_right and joker_to_the_right.mod and joker_to_the_right.mod.id ?

[frosty dock]

((joker_to_the_right or {}).mod or {}).id is how i would write that, but sure

[daring fern]

Yes.

[frosty dock]

does the file name match with what's in the SMODS.Sound definition?

[thin anchor]

like this?

[frosty dock]

yeah so look at the code for black hole

[frosty dock]

no

[hushed field]

does SMODS.poll_rarity return a key or a number?

[frosty dock]

does the path in your SMODS.Sound call match the file name?

[frosty dock]

it returns a number for the vanilla rarities

otherwise it returns the key

[hushed field]

Ah okay, that makes sense. type checking it is then

[thin anchor]

i dont know
i dont know what im doing
i dont know where everything is
this isnt for me

[runic pecan]

Here, I highlighted the most important part.

[frosty dock]

wait have you even created the sound object, or do you just have the file?

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sound

[thin anchor]

just the .ogg file

[frosty dock]

oh i see

SMODS.Sound {
  key = 'Finger',
  path = 'PixelP_Finger.ogg'
}

you should just need this

[daring fern]

Yes, but how do I make all the vanilla planets level up all hands individually?

[thin anchor]

in the sound.lua file?

[onyx sonnet]

Aure could you please explain this, i still dont understand what causes this

[runic pecan]

Would it be a voucher effect or a joker effect? (Even though there might not be much difference)

[frosty dock]

doesn't matter where exactly, just at top level in some lua file you're loading

[daring fern]

Voucher.

[runic pecan]

I'll type it out, it's gonna take a while.

[frosty dock]

uhhhh

I'm not sure why the whole return table is inside extra but that shouldn't cause issues

[thin anchor]

doesnt make sound
im using the example jokers mod lua file if that helps

[manic rune]

💔

[onyx sonnet]

ill try with it normally and see if that changes anything somehow?

[frosty dock]

I'll assume this is on latest?

[runic pecan]

    if context.using_consumeable then
        if context.consumeable.ability.set == 'Planet' then
            update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize('k_all_hands'),chips = '...', mult = '...', level=''})
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2, func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                context.consumeable:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
                G.TAROT_INTERRUPT_PULSE = true
                return true end }))
            update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {mult = '+', StatusText = true})
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.9, func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                context.consumeable:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
                return true end }))
            update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chips = '+', StatusText = true})
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.9, func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                context.consumeable:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
                G.TAROT_INTERRUPT_PULSE = nil
                return true end }))
            update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.9, delay = 0}, {level='+1'})
            delay(1.3)
            for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                level_up_hand(context.consumeable, k, true)
            end
            update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''})
        end
    end
end```

[limber latch]

is there a resource somewhere on how to get started making a mod

[long urchin]

This should tell me each variable per round, right? like first round is the first variable, second round is the second variable, third round is the third variable

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            i = 1
            if i = 1 then
                debug(card.ability.extra.jkey)
                i = i+1
            elseif i = 2 then
                debug(card.ability.extra.jatlas)
                i = i+1
            elseif i >= 3 then
                debug(card.ability.extra.jpos)
                i = 1
            end
        end
    end```

[long urchin]

someone get the copypasta

[frosty dock]

what is debug

[tall wharf]

#1349064230825103441

[limber latch]

ty

[long urchin]

custom function i made for debugging

function debug(txt)
    attention_text({
        text = txt,
        scale = 1.3, 
        hold = 1.4,
        major = aura_card,
        backdrop_colour = G.C.RARITY[4],
        align = (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK) and 'tm' or 'cm',
        offset = {x = 0, y = (G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK) and -0.2 or 0},
        silent = true
    })
end```

[frosty dock]

i recommend choosing a different name

[long urchin]

why :?

[frosty dock]

there's already a global debug

[long urchin]

oh

[frosty dock]

you'd be breaking anything using the debug library

[long urchin]

that may get in the way

[frosty dock]

other than that your if statements are incorrect

[long urchin]

there we go, ctrl+f changed all debugs to have my mod prefix

[frosty dock]

you're using single =

[long urchin]

i always forget the second one

[onyx sonnet]

using a normal return table didnt change anything

[frosty dock]

just tried this and it worked just fine for me

[strong jacinth]

How would i make so that all packs/vouchers/cards can appear in all card areas in the shop?

[onyx sonnet]

can you try applying perma mult?

and see if you get it too?

[long urchin]

jesus christ

[daring fern]

That upgrades the hand it normally upgrades then all hands.

[strong jacinth]

What?

[long urchin]

im just imagining the amount of packs lmao

wait, i just realized

is this like, for a deck?

[onyx sonnet]

i think cryptid does this on a deck

[frosty dock]

you don't happen to have this on?

[long urchin]

downloading cryptid to check their code

[runic pecan]

Record it with Win+Alt+R and show us.

[onyx sonnet]

oh

no aure the issue is another

i disabled the upgrade message when making that video just because i found it mildly annoying

[strong jacinth]

No, voucher

[onyx sonnet]

the issue was the scaling of the perm mult

[strong jacinth]

But I'll make a deck that starts off with that voucher

[frosty dock]

that much is expected

[onyx sonnet]

how so?

[frosty dock]

you're scaling it as the cards are already scoring

that's too late, joker effects happen after the bonus chips/mult apply

if you want it to apply to the same scoring cycle, you need to do it earlier

[long urchin]

thennnnn i suggest getting the code for magic hat and replacing the references to cards with references to packs

lemme check that

[onyx sonnet]

context.check_enhancement?

[frosty dock]

... no?

most scaling that should affect the current hand's score happens in context.before

[onyx sonnet]

alrighty

thank you

[runic pecan]

Wait, I understand what you meant now.
Unfortunately, it would require either a hook or some patches.

[strong jacinth]

No, like the vouchers can appear in the booster pack slot, everything can appear everywhere

[long urchin]

oh that

[daring fern]

What if it leveled each hand individually?

[long urchin]

doesnt seem the most balanced lmao but lemme figure this out

[long urchin]

thats just a bad idea cuz youd have to wait ages

[runic pecan]

Everything, everywhere... all at once?

[red flower]

doesnt cryptid do this

[runic pecan]

Black Hole code technically does level up each hand individually

[long urchin]

what does it? cuz i checked the wiki and didnt see anything

[runic pecan]

You can also consider skip over the hand the planet already leveled up by using if.

[strong jacinth]

What do you exactly mean by this?

[runic pecan]

Nothing, just a cheeky reference.
~~https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_Everywhere_All_at_Once~~

[daring fern]

How?

[red flower]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Cryptid/Deck_of_Equilibrium

[long urchin]

ohp yurp i just checked the lua

there it is

[runic pecan]

Before:for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do level_up_hand(context.consumeable, k, true) endAfter:for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do if context.consumeable.center.config.hand_type ~= k then level_up_hand(context.consumeable, k, true) end end

[edgy mountain]

anyone can help me find out why my localization suddenly broke? it only returns 'Error' instead of tthe actual message

[strong jacinth]

Kinda like this

[long urchin]

yeah then youll wanna just copy the code from cryptid's equilibrium deck

and change it how you see fit for modifications

but i do wanna write down my initial idea

is there a guide for making custom decks?

[runic pecan]

What is above misc?
As in, what is misc key to?
Because I notice your brakets have different set of colours with mine.

[strong jacinth]

I guess its this?

local gp = get_pack
        function get_pack(k, t)
            if G.GAME.modifiers.cry_equilibrium then
                if not P_CRY_ITEMS then
                    P_CRY_ITEMS = {}
                    local valid_pools = { "Joker", "Consumeables", "Voucher", "Booster" }
                    for _, id in ipairs(valid_pools) do
                        for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS[id]) do
                            if not Cryptid.no(v, "doe", k) then
                                P_CRY_ITEMS[#P_CRY_ITEMS + 1] = v.key
                            end
                        end
                    end
                    for k, v in pairs(G.P_CARDS) do
                        if not Cryptid.no(v, "doe", k) then
                            P_CRY_ITEMS[#P_CRY_ITEMS + 1] = v.key
                        end
                    end
                end
                return G.P_CENTERS[pseudorandom_element(
                    P_CRY_ITEMS,
                    pseudoseed("cry_equipackbrium" .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante)
                )]
            end
            return gp(k, t)
        end

But man, what is happening?

[hardy viper]

average cryptid code

[edgy mountain]

its just where things like custom messages go in most mods

[hardy viper]

some would say it's... cryptic

[edgy mountain]

things that arent jokers, decks, enhancements, etc

the full thing

[lament agate]

is there a function that randomize things

[long urchin]

theres pseudorandom but i dont understand its api

[runic pecan]

I'm just curious why you have different colours of brakets than mine.

[lament agate]

can't find that in the documentation

[edgy mountain]

probbly just a theme i have

[runic pecan]

OK, I thought it was because the layer were wrong.

[long urchin]

yeah me neither, thats why i dont know its api

but its the random function balatro uses thats influenced by the seed

[manic rune]

its not something added by smods, since it exists in balatro already i think

[runic pecan]

Your indentation is... weird.

[long urchin]

does anyone know how to make custom decks? i cant find the documentation on it in the smods wiki

[runic pecan]

Have you checked SMODS.Back?

[daring fern]

I changed it to context.consumeable.ability.hand_type and it worked.

[long urchin]

oh thats what that is? i didnt realize cuz its like

just a list of commands, its not an explanation like the rest of the wiki pages lmao

[lament agate]

in which lua, i can probably read them from the source

[long urchin]

i saw this when looking up deck in the smods github but clicking on it takes me nowhere

[runic pecan]

I mean like this /jic
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Back

[long urchin]

ah ok

well yes i have

im pretty sure the smods.back is like, general commands for everything listed under the smods.center area of the wiki but i skimmed so idk

i just read the parts that are relevant to me in that moment

[red flower]

no, SMODS.Back is a custom deck

[long urchin]

ah

[native zinc]

how doth challenges display

[red flower]

wdym

[native zinc]

well

do i have to add something to display it

[red flower]

i dont think so, just defining it should add it

[native zinc]

hm

.

[long urchin]

yeah this wiki page sucks i have no idea what im reading :V

whys it so sparse unlike the other pages

[red flower]

are you loading that file correctly?

[native zinc]

here be the main

[red flower]

do assert(SMODS.load_file('challenges.lua'))()

[native zinc]

ah thanks

what a silly function

ayyyy

awwww

uh oh

[manic rune]

is your mod prefix "b"?

[native zinc]

i did that at random yes

[thin anchor]

crashes saying the sound doesnt exist

[native zinc]

wait

oh it is not

hm

well that explains it

[runic pecan]

mod prefix?

[thin anchor]

PixelP

[runic pecan]

Then sound = 'PixelP_Finger',

[thin anchor]

i swear i am a single celled organism my god

urrrrrrrgggg

[runic pecan]

May I see your assets folder?

[runic pecan]

Um... I believe someone already told you it's assets not resources so... yeah...

[thin anchor]

it says... in the error... its "resources"....

ok sure

[gleaming zealot]

hai modding-dev

[thin anchor]

im so done with this
changed it to assets! crashes! hooray!!!

[next timber]

how do i make an edition randomize its x mult on apply?

basically just how do i access the edition values from on_apply

[long urchin]

Only peak deck sprites over here

This is the placeholder I just made lol

[runic pecan]

OK so RandomDude changed it to assets and it didn't work, which I don't know why, or how to help, either.

[frosty dock]

they didn't have a SMODS.Sound definition at all

[runic pecan]

It's added just earlier:

[thin anchor]

file structure

[frosty dock]

where's the main lua file

and the json metadata

inside Jokers?

[thin anchor]

yes

[frosty dock]

then Jokers is the root dir of your mod

and it'll look for Jokers/assets

[runic pecan]

Now that's a TIL.

[thin anchor]

🪦

[frosty dock]

how is it supposed to know that you consider the parent folder to be the root?

[thin anchor]

err

[runic pecan]

I originally thought the game wouldn't even load the mod at all if such thing happens.

[warped marsh]

                local this_card = context.scoring_hand[i]
                if this_card.config.center_key ~= 'm_stone' then
                    if not SMODS.has_enhancement(this_card, 'e_polychrome') then
                        this_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome, nil, true)
                    end
                end
            end ```

this isnt how you set polychrome right?

would it be set_edition?

[runic pecan]

You'll need :set_edition, yeah.

[warped marsh]

ahh

[edgy mountain]

bump

[thin anchor]

should the files look something like this?

it crashes with the same error

[runic pecan]

Wait, really!?

[thin anchor]

i believe so

lemme check again

[runic pecan]

Did you start a new run, or continued a previous run? (Might not be the issue, but start a new one just in case)

[thin anchor]

continued

new run:

[warped marsh]

where is your sound?

i pretty sure you have to define your prefix

[agile thistle]

she error on my thread until it Oops! The game crashed:

[thin anchor]

look at all my previous messages

[maiden river]

Don't you have to put a k_ in front or is that not required

[agile thistle]

You're not supposed to type resources in the string either

i believe you're supposed to use SMODS.Path

and then use assets in that

[thin anchor]

"pixelp_finger"

[frosty dock]

I ask to see the sound definition and the json file again

[frosty dock]

no

[runic pecan]

So I just purposely and temporarily changed one of my sound file's filename, and the error I get is this, which is different than yours.

[thin anchor]

hmmm

[frosty dock]

why did you add the prefix to the sound definition

[thin anchor]

uh

[maiden river]

Thank you john smods

[frosty dock]

it gets added automatically

[thin anchor]

i thought it would help

[frosty dock]

you're probably double prefixed now

for some reason its not turing the card into polychrome :)

new error @frosty dock

[frosty dock]

set_edition('e_polychrome', nil, true)

[edgy mountain]

it worked fine before

also i tried

it just broke at some point

[maiden river]

I see

[ruby delta]

Anyone good at coding could help to create a really good touch screen mobile controls mod like Balatro mobile but much better if it's possible (I know there is a mod called Mobilelikedragging but it's not the only thing I want plus it's buggy) and you will be asking a reason why I need this it's because I play touch on portable mini laptop

[runic pecan]

I'd like to stay optimistic and say you solved the sound issue, which could be unrelated with this one.

[thin anchor]

im just wondering what it means because i didnt touch the atlas

[frosty dock]

are you doing anything with the atlas

[thin anchor]

no

[frosty dock]

then remove it

[runic pecan]

Let's see your assets folder again, shall we?
After you remove the atlas, yeah.

[warped marsh]

is there a way to add a Polchrome name to your Joker?

[long urchin]

whatd i do wrong? :(

SMODS.Back{
    key = 'booster_deck',
    loc_text = {
        name = 'Collectable Deck',
        text = {
            '{C:}Booster packs{} show up instead of',
            'cards in the shop,',
            '{C:}Reroll{} cost is double.'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'dick',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = {
        reroll_cost = 10
    }
}```

[thin anchor]

well i do need the atlas for the jokers i believe, im not sure

[long urchin]

if you mean dynamically, like changing a jokers name to look polychrome when it shows up as polychrome then thats either impossible or REALLY hard i think

[runic pecan]

loc_txt, not loc_text.

[warped marsh]

hmm okay

[long urchin]

i may be stupid

[runic pecan]

No, this mistake might be more common than you'd think.

[long urchin]

mainly cuz youll have to like somehow take hold of polychrome's code in order to add the information that would let you change the joker's loc_txt and afaik you can only take ownership of jokers

on top of that youll have to design up a polychrome attribute for the text

[warped marsh]

hmmm, im just trying to change it now in general

and its just not working

these colours grrr

[long urchin]

yeah joker names are notably hard to change with text attributes

but i know @sonic cedar got it to work once using {C:inactive}

[warped marsh]

yeah i dont think i care enough to be honest

to like

figure it out

[thin anchor]

brink of insanity

[sonic cedar]

what huh hi who

[long urchin]

hey toma

[warped marsh]

hi

[sonic cedar]

whats the thing

[long urchin]

theyre trying to apply text attributes to joker names

and ik youve done that before so i tagged you

[sonic cedar]

oh yeah i can show that

can you send what you have so far? @warped marsh

[warped marsh]

oh legit nothing so far

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[warped marsh]

ive been playing around with the colours you know

trying to get to work to begin with

[sonic cedar]

you got a localization file?

[warped marsh]

no i dont

[sonic cedar]

you uh

you should start with that

[warped marsh]

okay

o7

[sonic cedar]

o7

[warped marsh]

localization.json or lua

[sonic cedar]

lua

name it default or en-us (assuming you’re using english)

[warped marsh]

wait sorry so i create a folder for localization

and then i make a file called default.lua

[sonic cedar]

yep!

that’ll be your default localization check, hence the name

[warped marsh]

okie

got it

[sonic cedar]

do you alr know how to set up a localization?

[tall wharf]

hi

[warped marsh]

i have never done it

hello

[tall wharf]

you make en-us.lua

[sonic cedar]

hi aiko

did they change default

[tall wharf]

in localizations folder

[warped marsh]

okay ill make en-us.lua then

[tall wharf]

i don't have default

[warped marsh]

all this for a silly colour change

[manic rune]

-# dick

[warped marsh]

frick my big chungus life

lowkey miss 2018 sometimes (im lying)

[manic rune]

i miss when i wasnt in high school

my life is genuinely so miserable now :3

[warped marsh]

it only gets worse in uni!!

[sonic cedar]

but yeah default is well default
it applies whenever stuff like en-us isnt found or working

since you have nothing you honestly could just put en-us

[tall wharf]

can confirm

[sonic cedar]

can also confirm

[warped marsh]

okie awesome makes sense

[sonic cedar]

think of it as a fallback

[long urchin]

how do i modify reroll cost with a deck

[warped marsh]

wait toma would it be easier in dms?

[long urchin]

i tried using the api reroll voucher used and it broke :(

[warped marsh]

so we arent flooding the chat?

omg threads!

i forgot about feature

[maiden river]

hello, devs
I have a custom cardarea, but when you try to take a card and the area's full, it shows the "no space" text on the consumable area
is there a way to change that (probably a lovely patch)

[minor furnace]

attempting to make a booster pack, it keeps crashing at this part in the localize() function

    loc_target = G.localization.descriptions[(args.set or args.node.config.center.set)][args.key or args.node.config.center.key]
  end```

this is the pack declaration

    key = "zodic_1",
    set = "Booster",
    atals = "zodiac_booster",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Zodaic Pack",
        description = {
            "Choose {C:attention}#1#{} of up to",
            "{C:attention}#2#{C:zodiac} Zodiac{} cards to",
            "be used immediately",
        }
    },
    cost = 4,
    weight = 1,
    draw_hand = true,
    config = {extra = 3, choose = 1},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.choose, center.ability.extra}}

        return create_card("Zodiac", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, nil, "pack")
    end
}```

[red flower]

you can hook G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space

[maiden river]

thanks!

we love hooks

[red flower]

i think it should be "text" instead of "description"

[daring fern]

Does anybody know how to do this?

[subtle mason]

How do I get a specific booster pack?
Something like booster == "JumboMegaPack

[red flower]

what do you mean by get, what are you trying to do?

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[minor furnace]

yeah that was it...

[onyx sonnet]

do any of you have a joker that gives playing cards permanent mult when scored?

[subtle mason]

Like if _card.booster.name == "joker_normal" then or if _card.booster.type == "joker_pack then

[errant fulcrum]

            if context.other_card:get_id() == card.ability.extra.white then
            for k, card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, 9))
                end
            end
        end```
Is this syntax not correct?

[minor furnace]

now I just need to figure out why my atlas isn't working lol

[red flower]

booster.config.center.key == "p_boosterkey"

[turbid maple]

oh look zoodia- oh wrong mod

[subtle mason]

this looks right, thanks

[tall wharf]

omg void hello

ALSO ZODIAC PACK RAAAGRH

EVERY TIME I SEE SOMETHING RELATED TO ZODIAC

[red flower]

i love drident

[sonic cedar]

zodaic... 🥀

[long urchin]

i cant get this to work im gonna tweak

[minor furnace]

surely this should work
atals = "Zodiac_Booster", pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

    key = "Zodiac_Booster",
    path = "reverse_boosters.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}```

[minor furnace]

🤔

[sonic cedar]

you spelled it

wrong

[minor furnace]

AHHHH

[maiden river]

what are the actual line numbers

can you send a screenshot

[long urchin]

its slightly different cuz attempts to debug it to no avail

[minor furnace]

but this reference should be correct, right?

[red flower]

you cant just change G.GAME in a table like that

[open aspen]

for balatro playing cards, how do enhancement textures work? i ask because if i look at wild cards they obscure the suit like so

[onyx sonnet]

atlas*

[open aspen]

also i just realized they dont obscure the suit

so never mind my question

[onyx sonnet]

other than that it seems fine?

[minor furnace]

Ahhhh

[long urchin]

so then how do i modify reroll price in a deck?

[open aspen]

i can see the spade still lol

[minor furnace]

why am I incapable of typing today

spelling is hard

apparently

[onyx sonnet]

itis hard

[minor furnace]

it shouldn't be, I know how these words are supposed to be spelled

[onyx sonnet]

i spent an hour troubleshooting a joker of mine because i mispelled one of the optional smods features

so it just wasnt enabled

[red flower]

you probably need to put it in apply i dunno i havent made a deck yet

[maiden river]

it's probably something you have to do with an event in apply, yeah

[open aspen]

is there any example mods that have enhancements?

[maiden river]

mine 😎

[subtle mason]

It looked right, but not it. Gives a crash instead and I also tried _card.config.center.key == "packkey" but that ain't it either

[maiden river]

there should also be one in the smods examples

oh wait those are editions

I cen never get it right 💀

[open aspen]

yea that seemed to focus on the shaders behind editions

i think

[maiden river]

true

but making an actual edition really isn't hard at all

[open aspen]

see the thing is

[minor furnace]

we are so back

[open aspen]

i am super unfamiliar and intimidated by how modding works with lua/balatro

[minor furnace]

now let's see if they actually work

[maiden river]

oh I see

[open aspen]

im more used to modding frameworks like tmodloader

and this is very different

to me

[red flower]

where are you trying to do this

[modern kindle]

honestly its not so bad, smods wiki is very helpful and you can always look at countless mod repos to learn how to do stuff
the method of stealing someones code and breaking it to learn it helps loads

[red flower]

and what's the crash

[maiden river]

well you can actually look at my mod to see a really simple edition
I can send it in here rq

https://github.com/rae-vyn/FriendsVsBalatro/blob/main/mechanics/editions.lua

[subtle mason]

should have probably told you this but I'm doing patches not any smods stuff

[open aspen]

very coool

[open aspen]

thank you!

[maiden river]

this is the effect, btw

with the terrible shader 😭

I'll pay aiko 200 RaeBucks to make a better one

[modern kindle]

Green

[red flower]

ok, but what are you doing and where?

[maiden river]

Green

[onyx sonnet]

greeb

[maiden river]

btw snaz
what mod are you working on
I see you in here a lot

[open aspen]

wait thats still an edition though

[subtle mason]

misc_functions.lua and I'm trying to check if a spesific booster pack was opened

[maiden river]

yeah that's what I was saying
an enhancement is pretty similar though

[open aspen]

yea should be

just instead of a shader i assume it will be atlas stuff

[maiden river]

yeah

[red flower]

i don't see a function that uses _card, which one are you changing?

[long urchin]

how would i make the reroll price increase by 2 instead of 1?

[tall wharf]

hi n

[red flower]

hi aiko

[subtle mason]

I'm making a new function in misc_functions.lua and _card. is used where there usally is self. and then some card function like ability.set or something.

[tall wharf]

i will finish Pokémon Black and White trust

[onyx sonnet]

working on two mods at the moment actually
one is for myself with 28 jokers and 2 boosters
one is for someone who's making art for me and it has 30 jokers

[maiden river]

[manic rune]

:3

good morning everyone

[modern kindle]

bepis my goat

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

[manic rune]

what do you think of the boss blind

[red flower]

hmm then config.center should be working, weird

[onyx sonnet]

You're working on the FvF mod for balatro right?

it's pretty neat from what little ive seen

[manic rune]

-# just realized i fucked up the wording for boost deployment a bit

[turbid maple]

utter woke nonsense

[red flower]

play trails in the sky

[modern kindle]

i fw this
will the phases have diff impacts

[maiden river]

yeah I am

[manic rune]

mhm

[maiden river]

I just added 3 vouchers and it's caused me extreme stress

all because of a typo that I didn't detect until yesterday

[manic rune]

if a boss has too many passives

i may consider adding pages for that too

:3

i am the page man

[red flower]

i need to add pages for the ability transfer thing i think

or toggleable tooltips maybe

[onyx sonnet]

been there 😔

[manic rune]

r we reaching the point where pages for descriptions are common now

💔

[red flower]

balatro needs more screen space

[limber blaze]

just dont have actual descriptions do what tboi does where its just a flavor text instead

[manic rune]

"Good luck" the flavor text

[maiden river]

oh btw raevyn Pro Tip:
if you have a custom card area you can set view_deck = true when you're making it to make it show up on the sides instead of the top
so if you're a yapmaster like me you don't have to worry about the textboxes clipping out of the top of the screen 😭

[manic rune]

and its just you trying to figure out wtf the boss blind does

[long urchin]

why do neither G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = 2 modify the reroll cost increase? >:(

SMODS.Back{
    key = 'booster_deck',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Collectable Deck',
        text = {
            '{C:}Booster packs{} show up',
            'instead of cards',
            'in the shop,',
            '{C:}Reroll{} cost is double.'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'dick',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = {},
    apply = function(self)
        G.GAME.starting_params.reroll_cost = 10
        G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = 2
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.reroll_shop then
            G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost_increase = 2
        end
    end
}```

[manic rune]

dick

[long urchin]

are you gonna say that every time?/silly

[manic rune]

:3

[pale venture]

Does anyone know how to use draw_card to randomly arrange cards or just shuffle the deck? I was trying to use it to move cards from G.hand to G.deck and they just go to the bottom.

[maiden river]

localization people: where do you put the text for the booster pack after you've opened it in the localization files?

[manic rune]

i think theres a function to shuffle the deck

i saw it before

[brazen notch]

G.deck:shuffle()

[limber blaze]

misc.dictionary.k_set_pack

[manic rune]

☝️²

[red flower]

you can also define a group_key in your booster

[limber blaze]

still goes in misc.dictionary though

[manic rune]

why hasn't anyone reported about my relic pack showing "ERROR" too, i wonder

[red flower]

yeah

[maiden river]

thanks

[subtle mason]

@red flower got the error functions/misc_functions.lua:195: attempt to index global 'booster

[pale venture]

I tried that and it didn't work for some reason

[red flower]

yeah booster was just a name i gave the card object, it should be _card or whatever in your case

[maiden river]

the smods localization wiki update is going to go insane

whenever that drops

[red flower]

this is in the booster section

[limber blaze]

i usually just try reference the localisation of something else thats doing a similar type of thing as me

[brazen notch]

you might need some parameters, they're in CardArea:shuffle

[manic rune]

your name reminds me of Yme for some reason 💔

[pale venture]

I'll check it out, thank you

[manic rune]

-# genshin mod dev, fyi

[maiden river]

true
but (this is the same way I felt about learning about the "dump_loc" key in the metadata) it should really be in the localization docs, with everything else

but that's just me

[red flower]

you can PR the wiki ❤️

[subtle mason]

aaa its probably G.config.center.key == "p_boosterkey"
I'll try it after I finish eating

[red flower]

why would it be G

[maiden river]

that's also true

[subtle mason]

or smods

[red flower]

G is the global table for the game, you want the booster card

[onyx sonnet]

@tall wharf i think you should add a short shake effect to the jokers that lilac lasso doesnt select to be debuffed

[tall wharf]

sure

later tho

[subtle mason]

I want to get the type of booster that is open at the moment the if statement passes but I'll deal with it later

[onyx sonnet]

oh thats easy gimme a sec

[tall wharf]

send this in my stupid thread lol

[onyx sonnet]

i use this in a lovely patch so idk if its different in joker calcs

self.config.center.kind == 'Arcana'```

theres probably a context for opening booster packs

which lets you read this

[red flower]

yeah, they're not doing a joker they're modifying the code directly from what i understood

[onyx sonnet]

information provided within the open_booster context

if context.open_booster then
{
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    open_booster = true,
    card = self -- the booster pack being opened
}```

[gentle valley]

excuse me but if i wanted to learn how to mod balatro where would i start thanks in advance

[runic pecan]

Is the highlighted expression correct?

[red flower]

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

[gentle valley]

thank youu

[red flower]

it should just be self.WAH_index

[next timber]

progress is being made

the nefarious greenbo

[tall wharf]

wtf 😭😭😭😭

[maiden river]

well you're doing better than my green

[next timber]

i still do not know how to make it clip the low parts and overflow for the high parts

[maiden river]

it's kinda tough since I need to emulate shaders from a different game

but I have cool concepts for the enhancements

[next timber]

i tried adding time and it did this??

nope

thats the same image

hang on it keeps doing htis

why does adding time make it do this??

surely adding time should just make it animate??

[daring fern]

How does one check if a card in hand is being scored?

[red flower]

where are you checking?

[daring fern]

In G.hand.

[red flower]

no, like what are you trying to do? also cards played is G.play

[thin anchor]

all i did was add a sound and this happened

[red flower]

i saw aure tell you to delete the atlas but maybe you were actually using it?

[daring fern]

If a card in hand is scoring then gain chips.

[red flower]

is this a joker?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[thin anchor]

yes but i am using it for jokers

[red flower]

did you remove it?

[thin anchor]

well no...

i will, hold on

[red flower]

hmmm no idea then you probably need a post trigger or something

[thin anchor]

removed it, still crashes

[red flower]

no it was fine to not delete it i was just asking if you did because that might have been the crash

[worthy stirrup]

The card isnt crashing but it never appears debuffed

[red flower]

try add_to_deck instead of set_ability

[thin anchor]

i just moved it to a different location

[worthy stirrup]

well, im also having it appear debuffed in the collection

[red flower]

well that might be it

[worthy stirrup]

unless the collection also calls for adding to deck

[red flower]

i dont think so

[unkempt thicket]

where is the UI for deck preview stored?

[worthy stirrup]

i found this in the core.lua

---@field set_debuff? fun(card: Card|table): boolean|string? Allows controlling when a card is debuffed or not. Return "prevent_debuff" to force a card to be undebuffable.

[thin anchor]

im wondering how this atlas issue even happened

[worthy stirrup]

could i call for card:set_debuffed(true)

[red flower]

set_debuff, yes
i don't think that's different from the other one but you can try

[worthy stirrup]

hm, didnt seem to work

[red flower]

G.UIDEF.deck_info

what I do is I search the localization for a string in the UI and then search the key in the code

[worthy stirrup]

is there something thats called for whenever the card appears

[maiden river]

using vouchers with full-sized card sprites is so goofy

[open aspen]

what is this comment referring to? can i set cardarea to G.hand to access cards held in hand? eg to have something happen with an enhancement before cards are played?

[worthy stirrup]

ill put this here incase anyone wants to help me instnatly debuff a card

[red flower]

yes, you can do context.cardarea == G.hand for that case for example

[open aspen]

By the way, for context.before, is it after the hand is played but before the scoring begins?

[maiden river]

yeah

[worthy stirrup]

okay, i found a work around, i just debuff it every frame

[maiden river]

😭 uh oh

[open aspen]

because i wanted to make an enhancement that moves to the next card over before the hand is played

so

thats a bit tough now

[runic pecan]

Last time I checked there's no context for "when drawn to hand", should I make a patch for that?

[open aspen]

there is i think

well

im also new

so im not sure if that applies when a card is drawn and you have the calculate function in an enhancement on that card

but theres definitely a context for that on the api page

[rapid stag]

how could i use loc_parse_string to allow me to use {X[colour]} in both joker names and the return message of calculate() and have it show up with that highlight in those conditions?

[runic pecan]

There is a context for "when hand is drawn", but I need "for each individual drawn card".

[open aspen]

ooh

[open aspen]

perhaps you could do something with having a variable that tracks the handsize when cards are discarded, how many cards were discarded, and compare those to the hand size afterwards using the hand_drawn context

and that could help you calculate how many cards were drawn

(that ofc wouldnt address edge cases like drawing the first hand when entering a blind but ig in that case u can just check how many cards are in hand. i cant think of other edge cases)

as a workaround at least

[daring fern]

Is this doable?

[open aspen]

eg handsize before was 7, i discarded 5 cards (but its serpent so i only draw 3), so my hand size will now be 5 after discarding. so i can do 7-5 = 2, then do 5-2 = 3 cards drawn

[errant fulcrum]

How do I make it so that the cards only start scoring after they flip?

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.scoring_name == 'Pair' then
            for i=1, #context.scoring_hand do
                local percent = 1.15 - (i-0.999)/(#context.scoring_hand-0.998)*0.3
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.15,func = function() context.scoring_hand[i]:flip();play_sound('card1', percent);context.scoring_hand[i]:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);return true end }))
            end
            delay(0.2)
            local _rank = pseudorandom_element({'6','9'}, pseudoseed('yin'))
            for i=1, #context.scoring_hand do
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                    local card = context.scoring_hand[i]
                    local suit_prefix = string.sub(card.base.suit, 1, 1)..'_'
                    local rank_suffix =_rank
                    card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..rank_suffix])
                return true end }))
                end

lets say i wanted to make a mod. what is the minimum assets/code required to have it show up with steammodded. doesnt have to add anything but just like a base skeleton for a mod

cause like i cant even figure that out atm 😭

[runic pecan]

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play is for each scoring card, you might wanna put flipping animation under other context?

[maiden river]

you just need a folder with the mod metadata and a main file, I believe

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

[open aspen]

nothing has to be in the file at all?

the main fle

file*

[maiden river]

don't think so

[open aspen]

i closed outta the tab but it seemed like some mods had like their mod id at the top of the main file in some code

like an init thing looking

and other mods didnt so i was really confused

Ill try that then

[maiden river]

that's the old version of the system

[open aspen]

coolio

ty

[maiden river]

no problem

[open aspen]

what about mods that separate their code into multiple files?

eg a file for enhancements and one for editions etc

[errant fulcrum]

I just put it under context.scoring_name and the cards flip like 10 times

[long urchin]

how do i change whats in the shop?

[open aspen]

do i have to have a main file to pull all those together or will steamodded just pick it up

[long urchin]

like, say i want to modify the jokers that can appear in the G.shop_jokers area

[maiden river]

you have to have a main file

[long urchin]

how can i change the list of items that can appear

[runic pecan]

You can load each file you want to load in your main file.
You can even make it tree-like.

[zealous glen]

how so

[open aspen]

got it

[long urchin]

im making a custom deck that replaces all of the rerollable shop cards (jokers, tarots, and planets) with booster packs

but then to balance it, rerolls are doubled. Ive fully figured out that part, now i just need to get boosters into the shop_jokers area

[next timber]

ok my shader's going well but i have no clue how to fix the cutoff, or the fact that you can see into the texture below it

[zealous glen]

modular arithmetic

[next timber]

??

[zealous glen]

Well not quite

But you don’t want to go past 0 and 1

[runic pecan]

So according to what I found in lovely/dump.lua, context.hand_drawn is a table of drawn cards, but on SMODS wiki it only says they are true.
At least one of them need update, it seems.

[zealous glen]

Otherwise you get the other textures in the atlas

[next timber]

its kinda hard to have a wavy effect without some peaks being lower than others

im still just annoyed that the wavy shader image in the docs isnt one of the shaders in the example mod

that would solve All of my problems

[wintry solar]

Docs haven’t been updated recently, I’m still working on it but life has been very busy recently

[zealous glen]

How are you doing it

[next timber]

ill send the function in a minute hang on

ive just realised the laminated shader miight actually be what im looking for so im tryna test it out

[zealous glen]

because I think you could use modular arithmetic to cover from a square to a wavy square

[next timber]

ok nvm laminated was NOT what i wanted

[zealous glen]

or just wavefy the square directly

[next timber]

hang on discords being a bitch

[turbid maple]

freaky jimbo

[next timber]

freakbo

basically, makes a sine wave using the x and the current time, then uses that to stretch the texture accordingly along that column

[zealous glen]

add more sines

[next timber]

wha

i dont see how that helps my issue

[zealous glen]

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/yudn5nqoqo

[next timber]

how exactly does a more wobbly line solve the cutoff issue

[zealous glen]

I was trying to solve this issue

but I see I misread what you were saying

What was the cutoff issue again?

[next timber]

put into a crude jspaint drawing this is my issue

it cuts off at the borders of where the normal jokers are, and has bits of the next texture down

[zealous glen]

Avoiding drawing other Jokers is easy

[minor furnace]

why does context.end_of_round trigger twice again?

[zealous glen]

As I said before

limit yourself to the area of the Joker

[minor furnace]

and how do I make it only trigger a seal once

[zealous glen]

which should be around 0 and 1

[zealous glen]

one is for individual effects I reckon

[minor furnace]

I tried adding an and context.individual and it didn't proc

so maybe I need a different context

[zealous glen]

if it's for a Seal

I think Cards only calculate on themselves

[minor furnace]

hmmm

[strong jacinth]

Bump

[zealous glen]

I think the wiki says how to limit yourself to triggering once

[minor furnace]

I'll check the wiki again

[wintry solar]

If it’s a seal it’s context.olaying_card_end_of_round iirc

[zealous glen]

olaying

[next timber]

olaying

[open aspen]

looking at paperback mod source code i see examples of enhancements they made. but nowhere is there like an smods.load_file to load it (that i could see at least). I think thats where some of this confusion is coming from

main file needed yes, but do you need to specifically load other files?

[minor furnace]

thanks, I'll try this then. fwiw, that one's not on the wiki page for calculate

[open aspen]

ah nvm i figured out how they did it

[open aspen]

they do load it but have a util file that lets them quickly load stuff

so it doesnt ever explicitly say load_file("enhancementName.lua") but rather calls a function that loads all files in a folder

coolio

[neat plover]

anyone got a deck making tutorial

[open aspen]

yep its defined in misc_functions and they then call it on each folder in content

[gentle rain]

mm sorry it isnt working but the idea for it is super cool i love it

hope u get it working!!!

[gentle rain]

id say look at the decks in game and in mods and reference the smods wiki

[neat plover]

...

[wintry solar]

Yeah I know, it was added post better calc 2.0 so hasn’t been updated yet

[fresh swallow]

Chat, I may be cooking

Balatro irl going to be crazy

[edgy mountain]

anyway to make sure the event completes the dissolve before ending?

currently it is looping before the card is destroyed and sometimes selects a dissolving card to be dissolved again

[open aspen]

is there a guide for how an atlas should be set up?

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭

are you going to use lcd panels

[open aspen]

is it possible to make a new type of "addition" for cards. Like a fourth thing that isnt a seal/edition/enhancement

or bar that, a way to have an edition/enhancement not conflict with other enhancements

[tall wharf]

what are you doing 😭

[edgy mountain]

every loop selects a random card from hand and dissolves it

problem is, the loop is finishing before the dissolve

[tall wharf]

what's the whole effect

[edgy mountain]

so it has a chance to pick the same card again

[tall wharf]

is this in joker calculate

[edgy mountain]

its a consumable

[tall wharf]

does it destroy all the cards in hand

[edgy mountain]

it repeats 3 times

[tall wharf]

so

3 cards in hand

[edgy mountain]

yup

in its current state sometimes it selects the same card multiple times and ends up deleting only 2 or 1

[rapid stag]

...what's the simplest way to set my mod's modicon in the steamodded mod menu?

[tall wharf]

i think you'll have to use while loop

and increase i for each card destroyed

store destroyed cards in a table

[edgy mountain]

feels a bit janky still?

[tall wharf]

check if card in table of destroyed

idk that's what i would do

[fresh swallow]

A tiny one. I am using a combination of leds, tiny screens and other methods for it

[tall wharf]

modicon atlas

[open aspen]

its not really jank, maybe not the best way to do it tho necessarily

like thats the brute force method yea ig

[edgy mountain]

i wanted to just delay the end of the event untill dissolve was done

[open aspen]

im a brute force kinda programmer anyways

[tall wharf]

ante will be 7+ segments?

[modern kindle]

I've been checking into your thread often, you're doing a sick project

[fresh swallow]

The center part of that model is a big play surface to place your jokers and playing cards on

[open aspen]

link?

[tall wharf]

like i see holes

[fresh swallow]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1342904656124182618

[gentle rain]

oh shit solidworks?!

[fresh swallow]

Yeah

[gentle rain]

peam

[open aspen]

how will it detect the jokers/cards? i assume you will have to print stuff

[fresh swallow]

NFC tags on the back of every card

[tall wharf]

crazy

[fresh swallow]

And a moving reader head under the play surface

[rapid stag]

i just make an SMODS atlas with the key modicon?

[fresh swallow]

Cheaper than having a ton of nfc reader

[tall wharf]

i think so

[modern kindle]

How low have you gotten the price to so far?

[tall wharf]

it does introduce moving parts i guess

DEVELOPMENT TOMORROW

RAAARHH

[fresh swallow]

Yeah but it’s so much cheaper

Also here is some early testing for the nfc stuff

[open aspen]

smart to have it on the back too

[tall wharf]

actually

sick

[open aspen]

everything can be kept flat then

or like on a flat playing surface

[fresh swallow]

I want to make it cheap. Just in case I can make it into a product

[tall wharf]

imagine actual casinos having nfc reader for cards

[open aspen]

dont they?

or like maybe not nfc

but they have some kind of readers no?

[tall wharf]

i don't mean credit card

[open aspen]

ik

[open aspen]

even if not a product at least people can try and make it themselves if its cheap

[fresh swallow]

The playing cards are but the jokers are going to be raised up and at an angle facing the player

[open aspen]

fair enough

[fresh swallow]

I plan on doing a small production run of around 5 of them.

I have access to some machinery that will let me do custom circuit boards

So that should be fun

[next timber]

ok ive been making (slow) progress on the shader, but why does the bottom edge look janky? idk how to describe it but its like, almost jagged looking

[zealous glen]

everything is possible with enough programming
-# except the halting problem

[next timber]

something tells me if you decide to sell any of the 5 copies you're going to have a bidding war on your hands

[rapid stag]

works

[fresh swallow]

The true. I am going to make a video on it once it’s done and hopefully try to pitch it to local thunk

[next timber]

i know im gonna be tryna get my hands on one if you do decide to do a limited run

[rapid stag]

does anyone know how to change a joker's loc_txt.text on the fly?
i'm looking into working with the functionality of being able to actively change the description

[fresh swallow]

After that, if we went through with it, I would most likely do a kick starter to try getting enough funds to mass manufacture them.

[next timber]

if it's your joker you could hypothetically just do "#1#","#2#" so on so forth

and feed the entire line of text into the loc_vars

if its not your joker idk

[zealous glen]

for more complicated changes I use main_end

[fresh swallow]

There is one touch I really want to do for the final project.

I want the game board to have a layer of green felt over it

Like a card game table

[zealous glen]

Example:

[rapid stag]

i see! how should i go about looking into this

[glad crane]

Ah yes - I do love a good nil in nil chance to gain a nil mult (also no clue why its nil values)

[zealous glen]

you basically need to write the UI nodes manually

[next timber]

does anyone know why the bottom edge might be jagged and janky?

[zealous glen]

local misc = NFS.load(SMODS.current_mod.path .. "/misc_functions.lua")()

local _generate_main_end = function(card)
    if not misc.is_in_your_collection(card) then
        local add_node = function(nodes, text, colour)
            nodes[#nodes + 1] = {
                n = G.UIT.T,
                config = {
                    text = text,
                    colour = colour,
                    scale = 0.3
                }
            }
        end

        local nodes_ = {}

        add_node(nodes_, '(Currently ', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)
        add_node(nodes_, tostring(card.ability.extra.blinds_defeated), G.C.FILTER)
        add_node(nodes_, '/', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)
        add_node(nodes_, tostring(card.ability.extra.blinds_to_defeat), G.C.FILTER)
        add_node(nodes_, ')', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)

        return {{
            n = G.UIT.C,
            config = {
                align = "bm",
                padding = 0.02
            },
            nodes = {{
                n = G.UIT.R,
                config = {
                    align = "cm"
                },
                nodes = nodes_
            }}
        }}
    end
end

[zealous glen]

try going for slightly less than 1.0

[open aspen]

i really suck at modding this game lmao what have i done wrong

[zealous glen]

wrong path

[zealous glen]

example for how to determine the path correctly

actually wait that one still uses NFS.load lol

[open aspen]

yea i just saw as i came back

simple mistakes

ty

[next timber]

ok this worked well, still not perfect at the corners but beggers cant be choosers lol

[daring fern]

How does one make a certain probability of an object to always trigger when a joker is present?

[next timber]

now is there a way to make the shader get cut off at the edges of the joker, or am i just gonna have to adapt to that size

god i wish there was a way to print values in a shader

[sonic cedar]

so i think i set up the scoring itself correctly, but how does stone joker's card counting work? does anyone know?

[red flower]

it iterates through the deck and counts all the stone cards
it does in update for some reason but you can do it on demand

[open aspen]

is there an easy way to spawn in cards? i made an enhancement and want to see it in game but I realize i dont have a way of actually obtaining it?

[sonic cedar]

debugplus

q to cycle editions iirc

[sonic cedar]

does it run in a context?

[red flower]

no, it does it every frame lol
but you can put it in the same context you need it and in loc_vars for the description

[next timber]

ok so i fucked up the shader somehow

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok
can i send the loc_vars in to make sure its right?

[red flower]

yea

[sonic cedar]

loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
        return{vars = {card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.chips*(card.ability.stone_tally or 0), card.area and card.area == G.jokers and "...?" or ""}}
    end,

[red flower]

you want to do something like this

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    local stone_tally = 0
    for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_stone') then stone_tally = stone_tally + 1 end
    end
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.chips * (stone_tally or 0), card.area and card.area == G.jokers and "...?" or "" } }
end

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i thought the k, v would go somewhere else

ok ok cool

[tall apex]

Bweh

[sonic cedar]

ill test this out and see if it works

[open aspen]

another simple bug that my brain isnt figuring out, why is the bracket not closed? it looks closed to me

[next timber]

i think this is because i'm using texture_coords which apparently changes depending on where in the texture atlas you are, funnnn
is there any equivelant i can use that's always on a scale of 0 to 1 and not dependent on where the texture is in the atlas?

oh wait modulo exists

[daring fern]

How could one make the operator be exponential instead of multiplicative?

[open aspen]

missing comma

[mystic river]

you're missing a comma after your config table
idk why lua sees a missing comma and says literally any other error but it does

[open aspen]

yea i noticed just now whoopsies

i should probably stop asking questions that i immediately realize the solution to

[mystic river]

to be fair missing commas are stupidly easy to overlook
also blah blah rubber duck etc

[sonic cedar]

hold on k,v wouldn't work here cause of k right?

[open aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/rubber-duck-yellow-city-city-lights-gif-15758295

[sonic cedar]

yeah no it doesnt

[rancid bridge]

hi
i am stupid and don't know anything about lua, yet i'm still trying to mod balatro
how would i make a joker self destruct upon getting debuffed and make it add +1 ante

[next timber]

THEY SHREDDED M FUCKING JIMBO

[sonic cedar]

start with learning lua 😭
another good thing to look at would be

i thought that you made the button run away for the funny

k, v are correct, i think you need to check nil for G.playing_cards
So

for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards or {}) do

Snippet of your code that causes it to run away

[runic pecan]

Does a playing card drawn facing down still get featured as context.other_card?

-# The offset = {x = 1, y = 0}, is what is making it run away

are you using debugplus's watch shader

thats. a thing?

yeah

it's just watch shader [shader path]

you have to use watch stop afterward tho
