It would but you shouldn’t need to check it’s greater than 0

[gusty iron]

cause sometimes when the card has 0 chips, it still says +0

[wintry solar]

It shouldn’t do

Unless you’re not using the return properly

[gusty iron]

        if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.chips > 0 then
            return {
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } }
            }
        end

[zealous glen]

you don't need to write the message manually

[wintry solar]

Just return chips = X

[keen tiger]

are there any smods docs for G.GAME?

i need to read the game state, unsure what i can read

i see the event manager should allow me to dispatch in-game actions right?

[bold sleet]

As far as I know, it queues whatever event you want into the event queue.

[keen tiger]

so could i use to queue like "play hand"

as if im like actually playing the game?

[daring fern]

Is this a possibility?

[bold sleet]

Well, yes and no.

That would require a lot of extra work.

[keen tiger]

oh, hmm

[bold sleet]

The idea of the events things is for stuff to happen not instantly.

[keen tiger]

ahhh

[bold sleet]

Let me explain myself.

Let's say, jokers triggering.

[keen tiger]

yea

[bold sleet]

As far as I know, every little animation the game does for each card, like scoring chips, mult, moving cards and etc, those are all events.

They happen in a sequencial order, which is the event queue.

[keen tiger]

makes sense

[bold sleet]

So exactly, what is the question here?

[keen tiger]

im looking to puppeteer in-game actions, its not exactly a traditional mod

if i cant do that from a mod ill just mock in-game clicks, its just more tedious to do that

[bold sleet]

Alright, that's a bit more complicated.

A tad bit, if you ask me.

[keen tiger]

if its not exactly feasible ill just do my plan b lol

[bold sleet]

Alright.

Maybe, just maybe, you can do that with a mod.

Each button you click I think triggers a function or something.

At least for buttons, I think.

[keen tiger]

its weird since if balatro is just a big pile of lua there should be a way to trigger the routine for selecting a hand or discarding

[bold sleet]

Probably a lovely patch or a extremely complex mod.

What are you trying to do, exactly? A replay system of sorts?

[keen tiger]

lets just say im trying to externalize the game state, so some extra processing, and then send an action back in

[native zinc]

oh ... this doesnt work

[bold sleet]

Then idk.

[keen tiger]

ok ill do plan b

[bold sleet]

That's a tad bit more complex than what my stupid brain can do.

[bold sleet]

Lemme take a look...

[keen tiger]

are there more experienced modders in this chat?

[long sun]

hihi! can someone check over my code? i don't think my context is correct

(the cards do nothing)

[native zinc]

OH

okay

uhm

[keen tiger]

wait, would it be possible/allowed for me to track balatro's stack for me to identify the subroutine being called for in-game actions?

[hushed field]

I realize I gave you bad advice. The context gets reset, so the splash functionality you'd have to patch in. But I think like Eremel said, there's a context catered to doing that, called modify_scoring_hand

[native zinc]

it's definitely something wrong with my table deleted

oh

i see

[hushed field]

You could just hook into the button presses

[keen tiger]

thats what i was saying earlier

[hushed field]

But yeah there are states to read out

[keen tiger]

i would have to track balatro's stack tho

since idk if the fns are exposed

im able to do this if its allowed and theres a usable debugger

[lethal ridge]

how do i use pools in the rarity thing

[native zinc]

where even is this in the docs

[hushed field]

It depends on what you wanna do. You can just inject or hook into them and interact from there

[lethal ridge]

i made a new rarity but my joker is not appearing in the shop at all

[long sun]

(bump)

[hushed field]

Everything about splash and unscoring cards is still undocumented, so it's not surprising you can't find it!

[keen tiger]

not sure what you mean by this

[native zinc]

sob

[hushed field]

Lovely patches allow you to inject code directly into the source code, so that you can add to or change vanilla functions

[keen tiger]

i dont need to add to them, just call them

[hushed field]

Ooh, then you can just call the button event for playing a hand, right? I'm not sure what you're end goal is, so the best approach might depend on the details

[keen tiger]

yeah thats what i want basically

the balatro mod im making is mostly a thin communication interface for another thing I'm building

you could consider it a remote almost

[hushed field]

Just call the function when you want it to be called, it'll functionally simulate a button press, except no visual feedback will happen on the button, I suspect.

[daring fern]

How would one do this?

[keen tiger]

but how, is this a public api or do i have to locate the routine with a debugger

[hushed field]

what's going wrong? Currently you're upgrading every card that scores for every unscored card played

[paper zealot]

It's Lua, all code is public and almost everything in Balatro is globally scoped. #1349064230825103441 message

[hushed field]

Oh, just check the source code. It's in the ui Lua file somewhere. SMODS is an API that'll help you with some additional functions probably

[keen tiger]

wait its not minified/obsfucated

[thin anchor]

take a look at my poker joker

[keen tiger]

bruh what

[long sun]

it should upgrade if it's unscored

[keen tiger]

i was running on webdev logic, i was expecting some obsfucated bundle full of stuff like function fn2f3ab383_37b281a(_a, _b, _c, _a1, _d)

[native zinc]

jokers with meta jimbos rock

[keen tiger]

wild thanks

[hushed field]

You don't have to iterate over each card scored and unscored in that case. Currently it'd trigger for every unscored card played

[lethal ridge]

what does rate do here?

is it the same as default_weight?

[long sun]

ah kay ^^ what should i do, then? i'm new to making enhancements

[thin anchor]

thank you kind sir
that is so true

[hushed field]

Haha that explains the miscommunication. Nah, Balatro's very open and you can do anything with it as long as you can read code haha

[paper zealot]

I reckon there wouldn't be much of a modding community if that were the case. Minified JS might as well be assembler for how readable it is

[native zinc]

"no scoring for you"

[thin anchor]

how would you compare how many chips you score (the blue box) to the blind requirement?

[hushed field]

Context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == "unscored" should have the enhancement triggered when unscored

[long sun]

ah, grand ^^

thanks!

[native zinc]

how do i call this

of course i do if context.modify_scoring_hand

[daring fern]

Is this possible?

[hushed field]

I suspect you return {add_to_hand = true} for each card you want to add to the scoring hand. I've not used it before, but that is what it reads like

[native zinc]

ouch

[hushed field]

I assume it gets called for each specific card, so you just return it, I reckon

[vast fractal]

is there a shortcut to reload the game quickly?

[long sun]

hold M for 1 second

(iirc)

oh, two issues with Ghost Seal

1. what's this dark outline around it?

(code)

[vast fractal]

it works, thank you

[hushed field]

The dark outline is an alpha issue from your pixel art editor. I wish I could tell you the tool, but there are tools to remove it

[long sun]

ah icic

will have to do that for all my images then

[hushed field]

And badges need labels for their tect, iirc

[hushed field]

Probably. But I know someone shared a tool here last month that automatically does it to every file in a folder

[long sun]

ooh ^^

[hushed field]

Lm check if I can find it because I definitely need to use it myself too

[keen tiger]

is there a way to get notified of when the game state changes?

so i can differentiate between shop/blind select/play/scoring

[hushed field]

Inject into the state manager, I'd say, or just check the game state variable and when it changes.

It's accessible fully, after all

[keen tiger]

is there a viable way to do polling

i dont want to have a tight while(true), is there an equivalent to setInterval

[onyx sonnet]

doesnt smods already allow this with the extended contexts

[hushed field]

I suspect this is where you find out that I just happen to have looked a lot at the Balatro code, but you yourself are gonna now more about coding in general, haha. My approach would be to just hook a function into the state manager that triggers whenever the state changes, and then base your implementation on that.

[keen tiger]

got it, ill do that i assume, have to dig into it

[knotty copper]

@wintry solar Question about the localization argument for malverk and how it works? Asking as I'm running into an odd issue when the code for the TexturePack object is included it seems to weirdly affect the descriptions of a couple of deck/back descriptions such as Plasma and erratic decks causing them to not properly update if the language is changed, it only seems to update those ones to last language used if the game is reloaded

[daring fern]

Is this able to be done?

[tall apex]

Balalo

[long sun]

did you find it?

[glacial bloom]

Does anybody know why the badge color in game won’t change? It happened with the last joker I made. I set it to be a purple, and it stays as the default color

[long sun]

have you tried changing the hex code to lowercase, like i asked?

:)

[glacial bloom]

I think you said to change it to uppercase. I previously had it lowercase and it didn’t work 😔

[long sun]

also i'm not sure you can put the badge colour there iirc

[hushed field]

No, sorry, but I'm on my phone. I need to use it myself, so I'll search for it again when I'm back home after the weekend, and I'll send it to you if I find it

[long sun]

ah :{

[long sun]

try adding that to the JSON file

[long sun]

ah okay ^^

[tall apex]

From what I remember this should all be green text

[glacial bloom]

That is part of my JSON file! If that’s what you’re saying

[tall apex]

I might be stupid tho

[glacial bloom]

I just followed the GitHub tutorial for the metadata. I don’t know what’s going on

[long sun]

oh wait 😭 you're right

mbmb

[tall apex]

Try putting —- in front of it all :3

[glacial bloom]

Might be a silly question. But is that two hyphens, a space and then another hyphen?

[remote sequoia]

If your image editor supports it, you want to export the png with an option somewhere along the lines of "preserve color data for transparent pixels," assuming you have a work file for the art.
It might also refer to it as an "optimization" of some sort (saving color data for totally transparent pixels makes the file larger)

[long sun]

ah grand

will try that ^^

so these are the options

aha, yeah ^^

will test :D

[remote sequoia]

Ah you use GIMP as well. Yeah, jusy above the drop-down.

[long sun]

bingo!! cheers ^^

just need to fix the name

[remote sequoia]

[tall apex]

Nope just 3 hyphens, discord does it silly

[hushed field]

Oooh that's very good to know

[remote sequoia]

It might need some extra setup to actually have the right data in the transparent parts. One method of doing it is having your very bottom layer be the color of your outline, and then having a totally solid Erase layer above it.

[hushed field]

I'll look into it. I assume there's plenty of good guides on the process for Aseprite, luckily

[glacial bloom]

Like this?

[zealous glen]

Firch had made a tool

[remote sequoia]

If your outlines are multicolored, you can make that bottom layer a copy of the image, and slightly blur it (the smaller the blur the better the colors will match, usually 1px is ideal). For safety's sake in that scenario I usually do a few copies, each lower one blurred one additional time.

[long sun]

okay good news!! Ghost Seal's ability works :D

bad news! Ghost Cards do not

[daring fern]

Is this something that is able to be accomplished?

[zealous glen]

can't the Voucher create a Consumable

[native zinc]

yup! esp when you're doing pixel art you gotta remember to click on this:

and switch

and this goes for literally every single tool in the program (sigh)

[zealous glen]

Aseprite doesn't preserve color data for transparent pixels

[daring fern]

No, I mean like when you buy the voucher instead of being redeemed, it gets put in the consumable slot.

[zealous glen]

v_v

[native zinc]

krita!!

[zealous glen]

and I'm proposing an alternative

[zealous glen]

Aseprite!!

[native zinc]

krita literally better smh

krita till the end

[zealous glen]

Aseprite better smh my head

[long sun]

GIMP :3

[daring fern]

That the voucher creates a consumable of itself?

[tall apex]

Nono, in front of the entire line! It’s usually to make it so the line isn’t actually read, but I think it reads those very specific things even if done that way

[zealous glen]

No, that it creates a Consumable that does what you want the Voucher to do as a Consumable

[tall apex]

Aseprite my beloved

[native zinc]

well i can save colour for transparent pixels >:)

at the cost of

yknow

[zealous glen]

That's not Lua

[native zinc]

fonts not working

[daring fern]

So, I recreate all the vouchers as consumables?

[tall apex]

Have either of you considered just making shitty pixel art?

[zealous glen]

Sure? Idk what you have in mind

[zealous glen]

That's my secret

[tall apex]

Oh it’s not?

[zealous glen]

I'm always making sh*tty pixel art

[tall apex]

Real!!!!

[native zinc]

is this shitty pixel art

ig my "no draw art yet" card is literally Blank

[hushed field]

I suspect you could just hook or patch the voucher use function and emplace it in the consumeables area, no?

[tall apex]

No you have to scale it down and up 15 times

That’s why it’s called pixel art duh, more pixel compression the better

[zealous glen]

you have to save it at lowest resolution then screenshot it and save the screenshot again

multiple times

[hushed field]

That's how I make joker art for Kino

[zealous glen]

or just move it from the Voucher area to the Consumable area

[remote sequoia]

Only ever save it in jpg, it's true.

[zealous glen]

but I don't know why they want Vouchers where they're not supposed to be

[native zinc]

i'm sincerely doubting all of your advice

[zealous glen]

I advise you to become asbestos

[long sun]

well i meannnnnn, Pattern was technically a consumable, right?

[hushed field]

I've won Best Balatro Mod for 12 years in a row, and best Joker Art for a Joker called Morbius twice, so I'd say my advice is prrretty stellar

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[zealous glen]

If you become asbestos, then asbestos can't hurt you

[native zinc]

dang it.

[zealous glen]

what's pattern

[long sun]

unused vouchers found in some demo versions

[remote sequoia]

Hm. I can't think of a ligma for that.

[zealous glen]

It's not a Consumable

[long sun]

aware. i said "technically"

[zealous glen]

have you tried updog

[zealous glen]

also not technically

[long sun]

like, it doesn't do anything passively over the run, it just gives you stuff

[zealous glen]

you seemed to be destroying cards incorrectly early

[zealous glen]

doesn't make it a consumable

[native zinc]

im not even destroying cards

[long sun]

again, ya, i didn't say it was a consumable

just that it does something that a consumable could do

[modern kindle]

i mean 'technically' it is because you 'use' a voucher to 'get' a 'benefit'

checkmate

[long sun]

unlike other Vouchers, it did something only when purchased

[zealous glen]

I mean you're setting them to nil

It's like a wrong way to destroy cards

[native zinc]

is it not in a local var??

[hushed field]

I think that context is like the context for Individual, and that you just wanna return true, instead of the card object

[native zinc]

oh

[modern kindle]

ice my goat

[zealous glen]

weren't the cards disappearing in the video?

[daring fern]

How do I apply the voucher shader to the consumable?

[zealous glen]

draw method

pass the shader

[native zinc]

they were actually just being returned to the deck fsr

[hushed field]

Also you can't for loop a return statement that way, it'll stop after the first hit!

[glacial bloom]

Unless I'm doing it incorrectly, the hyphens are showing up as red anywhere I put them

[zealous glen]

consumables don't do things when purchased either

[native zinc]

oh hm

[tall apex]

mine is like this and is functioning :3

[native zinc]

okay maybe the cards in the local var are being deleted??

im confused now

[tall apex]

sorry took a sec for my pc to boot up

[zealous glen]

that is outdated

[tall apex]

ah.

meh, it works :3

[native zinc]

doesnt that only work for back compat

[tall apex]

me when i when i when

[native zinc]

dangerous life you live im ngl

[zealous glen]

if you want to move cards, it should probably be in an event, and/or done at the end of scoring

[tall apex]

if it stops working i can just re-make it, no?

[zealous glen]

you might also need to hook Card:can_calculate

[tall apex]

[native zinc]

all i wanted to do was retrigger unscoring cards 😔

[zealous glen]

this seems too complicated of a way to do that

[native zinc]

exactly

[zealous glen]

Instead use the 'unscored' CardArea

[native zinc]

well i wanted to score them then retrigger them

[hushed field]

I'd rewrite the context to assume that context.modify_scoring_hand runs for each card. That you you can just check if the card is unscoring, and add it the hand

[modern kindle]

i do this

i still have things written in old ways but until it stops working im not inclined to change it

[onyx sonnet]

kimmty

[zealous glen]

there's also a context for manipulating cards that are included in scoring or not

[hushed field]

Quite sure that's the exact context they're using!

[tall apex]

she's just like me (autism in the eyes and likes confined small spaces)

idk if color works

[native zinc]

if you want free delete table from table code ```lua
for j = 1, #lf do for k = 1, #ls do
if lf[j] == ls[k] then -- thing in lf is also in ls?
for i = j, #lf-1 do -- then starting at lf thing:
lf[i] = lf[i+1] -- replace it with the thing before it (effectively deleting original lf i)
end
lf[#lf] = nil -- yeet the last thing in lf (bc lf[#lf-1] = lf[#lf] rn)

[hushed field]

Can you show the full log?

[modern kindle]

i haevnt seen anyone upload too much blind calc as of yet, but i presume its stable nonetheless

[zealous glen]

Most of it seems normal to be, but cards debuffing themselves either don't work or I did something wrong

[native zinc]

its the same error as last time

well, card = nil

uhhhhh

[hushed field]

Hmm, I assume I gave you some bad directions about how to use that context then. You might wanna check when that context exactly triggers

[native zinc]

oh

[hushed field]

Hmm, no checking the smods code it should work that way

[native zinc]

it stopped crashing when i just

but it doesnt work

so it's the card

idgi

[sullen fern]

it’s supossed to debuff all odd numbered cards

but that doesn’t seem to be working.

[vivid solstice]

hey guys (gender neutral), how would i check if a played hand contains exactly one card?

[hushed field]

Oh wait, reading it proper, why are you making a table?

The table will get wiped

[native zinc]

oh

.

[hushed field]

It's local, so after each context check, it creates a new one and throws out the previous one

I recommend the simpler solve of doing 'context.other_card.splashretrigger = true', and then checking that during the repetitions context, and just setting it to false again afterwards

[sullen fern]

i might just have to ask @stray warren because they’re the one that wrote the code

oh i have plans im so excited

[native zinc]

yeah it stopped crashing

issue is: i have no clue how to make it work

[native zinc]

hold on context.other_card.splashretrigger doesnt exist iirc

is it not calculate_retriggers() or something

[rain slate]

function Card:set_perishable(_perishable) 
    self.ability.perishable = nil
    if self.config.center.perishable_compat and not self.ability.eternal then 
        self.ability.perishable = true
        self.ability.perish_tally = G.GAME.perishable_rounds
    end
end
``` bro why do they not use `_perishable` at all here

[manic rune]

:3?

[native zinc]

lua convention is that if you arent using a variable you mark it with underscore

[manic rune]

do i just fucking use a really big number

[modern kindle]

well, that would be a number thats...

to big...

😎

[manic rune]

✍️

no but actually, is that the way

😭

[rain slate]

they use it in Card:set_eternal and Card:set_rental ```lua
function Card:set_eternal(_eternal)
self.ability.eternal = nil
if self.config.center.eternal_compat and not self.ability.perishable then
self.ability.eternal = _eternal
end
end

function Card:set_rental(_rental)
self.ability.rental = _rental
self:set_cost()
end

[modern kindle]

if it returns true prob

[tall apex]

hey this isn't super dev related but i just wanted to say i really appreciate this modding community c:

[manic rune]

;3 aw

[noble schooner]

:3

[rain slate]

besides it's very counter-intuitive to have a function called set_perishable that takes what seems like a boolean argument, only for it to not be used at all in the function and for it to just set it to true

[noble schooner]

sames,,,,,,,

[manic rune]

do i have to be this specific

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know the variable for money? so i can set up an if statement dependent on how much you have

[manic rune]

G.GAME.dollars

[tall apex]

it just makes me so happy seeing my shitposts come to life and merge with the base game and other peoples mods, i love seeing how modded jokers interact with eachother making for newer weirder strats :3

[sonic cedar]

alr thanks

[wintry solar]

I'd recommend using Card:add_sticker instead

[rain slate]

I'm removing stickers

[native zinc]

cursed tbh

[tall wharf]

bepis

[wintry solar]

then use Card:remove_sticker

[manic rune]

hi aiko

[tall wharf]

i am so coojked...

[manic rune]

im trying to make my mod compatible with talisman :3

[rain slate]

I don't think either of those functions exist

at least not in my dumped card.lua

[wintry solar]

they're in smods utils.lua

[tall apex]

aiko hi omg :3

[manic rune]

cant be as cooked as me

[tall apex]

fire asf!! i have been doing that from the get go, i love talisman c:

[modern kindle]

woah its aiko chat

[rain slate]

I see

[manic rune]

i hate talisman

im so confused about how it works rn 💔

[tall wharf]

what are these cart art

[tall apex]

im confused about how lua works, with enough time and research you can totally understand it!! :3

[tall wharf]

5 balls

[hushed field]

No, it doesn't, you'd set it yourself! It'd be a temporary variable that'd allow you to check if a card has a specific quality

[native zinc]

ah

[sonic cedar]

it crashed my game did i screw up

[manic rune]

whats the crash log

if its comparing table with number then talisman

[hushed field]

It's not for the retrigger context, but I can send you a joker from my mod that uses the same concept to check if a card needs to be destroyed, if you'd think that could help?

[sonic cedar]

oh i just need the talisman thing got it

[manic rune]

do i use this to compare Infinity with a number

[gleaming zealot]

baseball huh

[tall apex]

idk, im sure they have a discord where you could ask for help!! :3

[wintry solar]

the easiest way to deal with talisman is to uninstall it

[rain slate]

ok this is weird

why do these two jokers have a different back? (they're all flipped at that moment)

the lucky cat is the correct back

could it be something from debugplus?

[tall wharf]

wtf

[sonic cedar]

why isnt this working

[tall apex]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-king-shark-the-suicide-squad-birdie-pigeon-gif-22147828

[rain slate]

what is the to_big() function

[manic rune]

u forgot this

[rain slate]

oh right

[manic rune]

to_big that too

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh truw

[manic rune]

...do i just make my mod incompat with talisman at this point :3

[native zinc]

yeah i have an idea

what's bugging me is mostly the modify_scoring_hand thing

[noble schooner]

haiko (heheheufaguifapleasehelpI'mgoinginsane)

[rain slate]

it's so triggering to me that it's misspelt

[tall wharf]

hi

[rain slate]

or is it like to big num or smtn

[sonic cedar]

NOW where did i screw up

[hushed field]

People keep damn installing my mod with cryptid tho

[sonic cedar]

unfortunate curse

[rain slate]

what's the to_big function

[sonic cedar]

talisman

[rain slate]

what's that

[onyx sonnet]

turns integers into tables that can handle big numbers

or well

bigger numbers

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Talisman

[manic rune]

oh

you need to to_big(0)

:3

[manic rune]

dude, same

[sonic cedar]

OH CAUSE IT STARTS AT
im so stupid
do i still need the other stuff?

[manic rune]

i dont think you need to to_big(G.GAME.dollars) since its already a table

[tall wharf]

done...

[manic rune]

but keeping it is fine

hats 9

whats 9

[onyx sonnet]

@wintry solar Would you be able to tell me why my perm mult increases by 2 every trigger instead of once?

[tall wharf]

gold bars

[sonic cedar]

aiko....

[tall wharf]

wait no that's 8

9 are

ice cubes

bcs yk

9\

➈

[onyx sonnet]

actually its more like +3 i guess since im counting the base mult i want it to have

[tall wharf]

reminder that https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/⑨#/media/File:Blue_circled_9.svg this file is on wikipedia

[worthy stirrup]

How do i get the sell value of a consumable?

[sonic cedar]

if context.buying_card and G.GAME.dollars <= 0 and G.GAME.dollars > to_big(0) then

[manic rune]

you forgot to to_big the first 0

[sonic cedar]

i did

[tall wharf]

wait

wait

wait

what

could you not just

[sonic cedar]

wait then i dont need

[noble schooner]

see, the funny thing is
not only does my mod have a dependency that has talisman as a dependency
but my mod has talisman as a dependency itself because it uses the exponentiation function that talisman provides

[sonic cedar]

😭

[tall wharf]

wait what the fuck that is such a flawed logic

[manic rune]

dasda

[manic rune]

icic

[tall wharf]

local valueToPutInIf = to_big and to_big(G.GAME.dollars):le(0) or G.GAME.dollars <= 0

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

[manic rune]

aiko

how do you compare inf with a number

:3

[tall wharf]

what are you trying to do

[manic rune]

the inf in question is in G.GAME.dollars

[tall wharf]

is it like

[tall wharf]

way beyond 1e309

[manic rune]

im doing stuff like

[tall wharf]

ok so

jus do what i said

?

[manic rune]

"if you have more money than (x), yes"

[sonic cedar]

its just so i can buy something without crashing with talisman

[manic rune]

...whats :le(0)?

[tall wharf]

local valueToPutInIf = to_big and to_big(G.GAME.dollars):le(some_value_lol) or G.GAME.dollars <= some_value_lol```

?

[native zinc]

turns out if a card is splash'd then... it's not in unscored?

😅

[tall wharf]

less than or equal

[tall apex]

yes, splash scores all cards!

[manic rune]

oh, i see

[tall apex]

making them scored :3

[manic rune]

whats the one for more than or equal?

:mo?

[tall wharf]

nvm

actually

it's lte

[onyx sonnet]

gte i'd assume

[tall wharf]

local valueToPutInIf = Talisman and to_big and to_big(G.GAME.dollars):gte(some_value_lol) or G.GAME.dollars >= some_value_lol

[manic rune]

this?

oh wait, its >=

[native zinc]

oh hm

[tall wharf]

check for talisman too

[native zinc]

maybe im doing something wrong

[manic rune]

now?

[tall wharf]

because sometimes mods just add to_big

[hushed field]

Oh yeah, you explicitly removed it from unscored by splashing it!

[manic rune]

:3 how do i do that

[sonic cedar]

does this still work for that thing credit card does with the negative money

[tall wharf]

_

[native zinc]

womp wompp gotta detect it somehow

[tall wharf]

should

[worthy stirrup]

i tried destoying it... it fucking made it a ghost

[tall wharf]

i am not a code wizard by any means

[hushed field]

You detect it by marking the card as you splash it

[sonic cedar]

why is he upside down

[manic rune]

just Talisman?

[worthy stirrup]

reveresed jokers

im working on a mod to add the "anti" versions

[manic rune]

if this works then im forever in ur debt aiko :3

[sonic cedar]

aiko after casting level 5 code fireball

[tall wharf]

i have to add consumables to all of this 😭

[worthy stirrup]

how do you properly destory a card

[tall wharf]

wtffffffffff

[hushed field]

https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/items/Jokers/fight_club.lua

Here's how I mark a random card for destruction, for example, by setting a custom value and then checking it. In your case, you also wanna turn it off again, though

[glad crane]

Alright I am stumped - I have followed the smods example as best as I can but the in game values come up nil, any insight as to what I am doing wrong?

[worthy stirrup]

consumable

[manic rune]

holy shit

THANK YOU 😭

[tall wharf]

did you restart a new run

[worthy stirrup]

wait, i think i found my error

[glad crane]

I just started the game and opened my collection to view the card

[hushed field]

Try respawning the joker and see if it's still nil

[native zinc]

what i dont get is why aye never prints

perhaps i'm checking context.cardarea wrong?

[tall wharf]

OH

you're supposed to use loc_vars

it's not local_vars

[hushed field]

The modify_scoring_hand may not check that cardarea ever

[native zinc]

ah

then ig put the cardarea check first

maybe

perhaps

[worthy stirrup]

how do you destroy a consumbible

[glad crane]

That was it! Oh my the simple little things haha

[worthy stirrup]

bc i got this so far

[glad crane]

Works now :3

[hushed field]

No, that won't change anything. Contexts are given in bundles, so that one won't be true

[sullen fern]

they only become debuffed when played

i want them to ALWAYS be debuffed.

[native zinc]

hm

[sullen fern]

like how a blind does it

[zealous glen]

I was so confused because Cosmos

[hushed field]

You can simply run a for loop through your scoring hand, and return empty if you find the current card. If you do not find it, return add to hand

[worthy stirrup]

i did this, i had to force it to always be debuffed by doing this every frame

  update = function(self, card, dt)
    card:set_debuff(true)
  end

[glad crane]

LOL Well thats a coincidence, I just named mine after me

[worthy stirrup]

but thats a permanent debuff no matter what

[zealous glen]

yeah… as long as the mod ID is different

[sullen fern]

so where do i put this in my code

[worthy stirrup]

great question, i brute forced my code, i am not the guy to ask

[zealous glen]

@sullen fern what are you trying to do

[sullen fern]

always have odd cards be debuffed when the doise is in play

[tall wharf]

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

[zealous glen]

use context.debuff_card

[zealous glen]

Brazil?

[sullen fern]

this is the code i’m looking at, for reference.

[zealous glen]

and I'm suggesting the new SMODS feature

[sullen fern]

well, i don’t know where to put it!!!

[tall wharf]

THE BLIND CALCULATE FEATURES!!!

[zealous glen]

alongside everything that handles contexts

calculate

[tall wharf]

the calculate function in blinds is such a good thing to have

no longer do i have to hardwire my shit in the events

[sonic cedar]

so now that i have this what do i do to the if statement in calculate

[sullen fern]

so it would be if context.cardarea and context.debuff_card

[tall wharf]

if valueToPutInIf

[sullen fern]

if i’m looking in the right area

[zealous glen]

well, if context.debuff_card and foo(context.debuff_card) then

[sullen fern]

which is this one

[sonic cedar]

oh duh

[sullen fern]

the “ensure new odd ranked cards added to play area are debuffed” section

[zealous glen]

-ish

[tall wharf]

😭

[zealous glen]

also need to handle unscored cards

[tall wharf]

coding with serif font is crazy

[worthy stirrup]

what colors are used when a card is sold

[zealous glen]

why

[worthy stirrup]

bc i want to have the dissolve be the same color

[zealous glen]

I think it's like money

[sonic cedar]

it crashed after i went into negative

[tall wharf]

what are you trying to do

it didn't return anything

i s'pose

wait hold on

what are you doing

what do you want to do

[sullen fern]

would you rather

[tall wharf]

yea

[sonic cedar]

credit card effect

[sullen fern]

so, how would we do that

[sonic cedar]

yeah i got that

[tall wharf]

context.cardarea == 'unscored'

😔

[sullen fern]

i’m still confused on where i’m intended to put all thid

inside the calculate function?

[tall wharf]

yes.

[sullen fern]

where inside the calculate function

this is important so i don’t fuck anything up

[tall wharf]

try shit out

fuck shit up

learn

repeat

[sullen fern]

if context.cardarea == G.play and 'unscored' then

[tall wharf]

😭

[tall wharf]

you'll need to check which context too

[zealous glen]

🇧🇷

[sullen fern]

is there an unscored context?

[tall wharf]

what are you trying to do

[sullen fern]

always have odd cards be debuffed by the doise

[sonic cedar]

local coldcash = Talisman and to_big and to_big(G.GAME.dollars):gte(0) or G.GAME.dollars >= 0 or to_big(G.GAME.dollars):lte(0) or G.GAME.dollars <= 0
would this fix it

[zealous glen]

always or when played

[tall wharf]

idk

[modern kindle]

always, i already gave them when played

[tall wharf]

im watching this sorry

[modern kindle]

but it wasnt good enough

[zealous glen]

are they adding Brazil to Minecraft

[sullen fern]

always.

[zealous glen]

then you don't need to check the CardArea

[hushed field]

What's the doise for object?

[sullen fern]

i see

[worthy stirrup]

how do i change the players amount of cash

nvm

i scrolled up

aw shit, here we go again

[glacial bloom]

Reminds me. The Minecraft movie is coming out on my birthday. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad gift 😔

[vivid solstice]

i think you mean A minecraft movie 🤓

i was going to put the finger but its not on discord

[worthy stirrup]

yea, it crashesz whenever you try to leave the shop

[modern herald]

ok wild question, can I force another joker to trigger after it's already been triggered?

[quartz ravine]

Anyone know if lua does pass by value or pass by reference for equality?

Like if I compared full_hand to scoring_hand, would it trigger an objet or value reference comparison

[worthy stirrup]

got it working, if anyone wants to know how, color can be card.dissolve_colours

[sullen fern]

erm, akshually… 🤓 ☝️

[worthy stirrup]

what does juice_up do?

[quartz ravine]

juice_up means jiggle this card

[worthy stirrup]

oh

[modern herald]

        if card.facing ~= 'back' then
            if context.other_joker.post_joker and JoyousSpring.is_monster_archetype(context.other_joker, "Fluffal") or JoyousSpring.is_monster_archetype(context.other_joker, "Frightfur") then
                for _ = 1, card.ability.extra.copy do
                    context.other_joker.calculate(self, context.other_joker, context)
                end
                return {
                }
            end
        end
    end```

If this works how I think this works, I am gonna do some horrendous shit

[hushed field]

Are you making a JoyousSpring add-on?

[modern herald]

correct

[hushed field]

Rad!

[modern herald]

if you can guess what the gimmick of fluffals is gonna be, you can imagine how broken it's also gonna be

[sonic cedar]

oops

[modern herald]

rot a te

[manic rune]

@tall wharf is it possible to G.GAME.chips/5 with talisman

[tall wharf]

yes

[sonic cedar]

im so cooked

[tall wharf]

me when i forget\

[manic rune]

is it this

or is it to_big(G.GAME.chips)/to_big(a)

[vivid solstice]

im trying to make a hand that only scores when you have no hands left in your hand or deck and you are only playing one card, this is what my code looks like so far

        if G.hand == 0 and G.deck == 0 then```
i dont know how to check if your only playing a single card

[sonic cedar]

au contraire
i believe i remembered too much

[hushed field]

Bepis you're making me dread doing talisman compat 😭

[manic rune]

this is it right

-# that local var is supposed to represent the comparison at the bottom but for talisman

[manic rune]

you will have to do it eventually

:3

[modern kindle]

not really, its a whole separate mod so its never a requirement

[manic rune]

which is used by a huge portion of the modding community

so just for the sake of making your mod much more convenient to play with

you would have to make it compat with talisman

...and uh, i want to keep my players too :3

[modern kindle]

the only 'need' is having balatro

if talisman made themselves easier to work with it wouldnt be a prob

[wintry solar]

I have no idea 🤷‍♂️

[hushed field]

Half of the crashes I see are people trying to run Kino with Cryptid or something and talisman freaking out

I really wish there was a way for that compat to be talisman-sided but sadly it's not

[onyx sonnet]

☹️

[manic rune]

surely those are correct

:33333

[analog spoke]

I finally made a page for this in #1209506514763522108 btw, in case u didn't see :3
the mod's name is Aneyh Vampirica :3

[modern kindle]

youd think theyd just pull whatever they change and make the compat inside change whatever

[worthy stirrup]

any ideas why this isnt causing a message under either of the cards?

[manic rune]

i dont actually understand how talisman works myself

[hushed field]

Turn numbers into tables so you can have big numbers

[manic rune]

and too many mods already added stuff to make them compat with talisman anyways, so i think theres less need to make it more convenient to change how that works

...OH ITS RIGHT

[hushed field]

It's just annoying honestly that another mod is such an important compat, but I get that people want to play mods in huge packs

Or just turn some things off, instead of swapping whole things out

[manic rune]

...

:3 yeah idk

[sonic cedar]

bepis is less than equal just lte

[manic rune]

probably needs to to_big card.config.center.cost too

[hushed field]

Is there a write up for talisman compatibility you're following btw, Bepis?

[manic rune]

less or equal is lte

[manic rune]

...no, im copying the code aiko gave

[manic rune]

this one

[sonic cedar]

for some reason the game crashes every time i hover over the card now
thats why i was asking cause i changed it to lte

[hushed field]

I wonder what needs to be bigged and what Talisman takes care of normally. I should honestly look into Lua's quantum tables and see what those can do

Someone that sounded smart was talking about them in the context of quantum ranks as well, and that seemed like a good solution

[manic rune]

this is not it either

...WHY IS IT EVEN BREAKING

IT WORKED EARLIER

WHAT

i am so close to absolutely breaking it down

[manic rune]

its whatever is being compared with values that are changed by Talisman

like G.GAME.chips, G.GAME.blind.chips, G.GAME.dollars, and such

if you were to compare them with "5" for example, you need to to_big(5)

to turn 5 into a table

ghh

[manic rune]

im also struggling with talisman, but can u show me that line

-# whats with that theme

uh

you know what, heres my theory

[sonic cedar]

im listenin

[manic rune]

this is the problem, because:

if to_big(G.GAME.dollars):lte(0) returned true, then sure, everything works normally

BUT

if it returns false

then it will run G.GAME.dollars <= 0 again

and as we know, G.GAME.dollars is a table

so it will fucking break

you need to_big(0) on that

[sonic cedar]

on it

in the calc function too right

[manic rune]

whats the calc function

[manic rune]

oh

yeah

coat that 0 with to_big

[sonic cedar]

here goes

[manic rune]

IT FUCKING LIVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[worthy stirrup]

if i have a mod, and its lua is called for, how could i get it to run a python script if able to be done at all

i have a script that randomizes the color in a trance color file

and i want to have that run everytime i boot up the game

[sonic cedar]

DONT GIVE ME HOPE IM TERRIFIED

oh my god it didnt crash

[manic rune]

TALISMAN CONQUERED

RAHHHHHHHHHH

[sonic cedar]

real moment of truth is going into the negatives

[manic rune]

https://tenor.com/view/but-heres-the-kicker-gif-26137308

[sonic cedar]

why arent you transforming

[manic rune]

huh

weird

can you try running
eval print(to_big(G.GAME.dollars) <= to_big(0))

[hushed field]

I should add JokerDisplay to the list of mod compatibilities to set up next too

[manic rune]

jokerdisplay cant be as painful to implement as this

💔

[sonic cedar]

yeah (let me reopen the game.... i3 core....)

[hushed field]

I trust N to have made it doable, his code is some of the neatest I've seen in any mod, after all

[sonic cedar]

oh.....

wait i should get negative first

[manic rune]

wha

[red flower]

what do u trust me with??

[manic rune]

how is that possible

N', ngl

[manic rune]

i would trust you with my life

[manic rune]

im testing something, hold on

[red flower]

im watching a vtuber play my mod rn its nice

[hushed field]

I'd trust you to not send me to the shadow realm without valid reasons

[manic rune]

idk whats going on over that side toma

😭

mine works normally

can you show me your to_big function

[sonic cedar]

yes

[manic rune]

its supposed to look like this

[manic rune]

you are successful N'

dont forget me pls :3

[red flower]

i need to find time to play your mod

[red flower]

i dont even play mine that much lol

[zealous glen]

which Vtuber

[red flower]

https://www.twitch.tv/rukovt?sr=a

[manic rune]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[manic rune]

part 2???

😭

[manic rune]

same, i fucking love yugioh AND balatro

[manic rune]

can you try printing just to_big(0)

i dont know what the fuck is going on :3

[sonic cedar]

ok

me

neither

:)

[manic rune]

...yeah, its the to_big function thats wrong

hm

[sonic cedar]

do i change num to x

[manic rune]

...i guess?

try it

to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end

heres my entire function

[sonic cedar]

i mean we have the same function i just

pressed enter

[manic rune]

where did you put the function

i put it at the top of my main.lua

[sonic cedar]

right under my atlas

in the main file

[manic rune]

technically not the top but everything loads below it

:3

[sonic cedar]

“technically” line 788 😭

meanwhile mine on line 9

[manic rune]

look at this toma

its as big as a localization file of most mods

😭

[manic rune]

god

idk wtf is going on

💔

[sonic cedar]

im only at 310 😭

[manic rune]

oh

its not my localization file

if your thinking about it

[sonic cedar]

oh

oh my

[manic rune]

THIS is the actual one

:3

-# not that bad

[sonic cedar]

there are 57 lines in my main file

[manic rune]

there are 2012 in mine

and like 5k3 lines in my jokers.lua, but thats not a fair comparison since my mod is vastly different from others :3

[manic rune]

question, do you have talisman running

[sonic cedar]

of course?? 😭

(yes i checked)

[manic rune]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[sonic cedar]

okay let’s see if num was the issue

i also made it one line

darn

oh wait the eval

nil…

[manic rune]

bruh

💔

do you have anyyy other content mod rn

like, ones that add jokers and such and are compatible with talisman

[sonic cedar]

none enabled

[manic rune]

what the fuck

uh

why isnt your to_big workigngngaon

[sonic cedar]

maybe my talisman version? which version should i have

[onyx sonnet]

The newest probably

[sonic cedar]

yeah what version are we on though

[manic rune]

this is my version

[sonic cedar]

i’m on 2.1.0

i’ll try updating

[manic rune]

i really hope thats the issue

[sonic cedar]

[feral jay]

what does this mean 😭 the documentation doesn't mention a "center" param anywhere

[manic rune]

TALISMAN CONQUERED 🗣️

[manic rune]

i think create_card is just for jokers

might be wrong though

[feral jay]

the docs says i can do tarots/spectrals

[manic rune]

o

[open aspen]

i asked paperback dev about a snippet of code. turns out it has an MIT license so I didnt even need to ask

I should probably pay more attention

yea i get the same error

this is my code

not sure if anyone can spot whats causing an error in the card.lua file of all things

i notice the stack traceback starts at (3)

why not start at (1)

[feral jay]

i just updated steamodded (it did not fix the problem)

[open aspen]

u have a similar issue to me

[frosty dock]

the key needs to include prefixes

c_modprefix_sealtarot

Also for the edition it should be edition = 'e_negative'

[feral jay]

ohh

[open aspen]

i get a similar error

but im not sure why it gives me the error because I'm doing all of the code atm with get enhancements function

so it shouldnt fuck up with prefixes if it gets all the prefixes from the cards

[vivid solstice]

how do i check how many cards are selected in hand?

[manic rune]

G.hand.highlighted

[vivid solstice]

would this code work then for seeing if youre playing 1 card with no cards left at all?

        if G.hand == 0 and G.deck == 0 and G.hand.highlighted == 1 then
        end
    end,
}```

[open aspen]

it depends if g.hand == 0 if u select a card

it might be g.hand == 1 and g.hand.highlighted == 1 cause you still have it in ur hand technically

[faint yacht]

#G.hand.cards & #G.deck.cards & #G.hand.highlighted

[mystic river]

test this with debug messages i suppose
just have it print the current value at the relevant time and see which way it behaves

[tepid crow]

+1 for "just print it out and see"

[mystic river]

if you're not familiar with how that works this is the function i use https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/MintysSillyMod/blob/c7d147822d146a6bb041c6aa5a478e689c62aaf5/MintysSillyMod.lua#L108

[open aspen]

og yea

and this

print it out and see doesnt work for me

in my currrent issue

[upbeat bronze]

how would i go about creating a custom texture pack for face cards + aces? ive seen other people have done it prior

[open aspen]

at this point i dont think ill ever figure out this issue

goodness its been like a day now of this one thing 😭

[red flower]

i recommend using the dev version as a base instead of main

[rapid stag]

does anyone remember how to set your own order of jokers in the collection?

[open aspen]

does anyone know what causes card.lua:261: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

it seems to be a common problem with fucking with cards, spawning them or changing enhancements

from what i can tell

[hushed field]

It's based on load order

[rapid stag]

i distinctly remember there being a way to override the specific order

[open aspen]

I figured it out. 1. I need to use G.P_Centers (something like that i left the house so i forgot) when using set ability.

and 2. It does return an empty table without all the ternary stuff i was doing, but even with the ternary stuff I had the logic backwards so it was returning nil instead of c_base

I have a few issues left to iron out, cause I realized the context for final scoring step is right after it’s calculated, not after the score is finished displaying (eg final scoring step is right after the cards are calculated against which is right after all the cards are played)

So I should switch it to being after. Also, I haven’t tested it but i’m very sure that it will swap enhancements until it reaches the end because it evaluates the left card with the enhancement, swaps with the right card, then evaluates the right card which now has the enhancement so it will swap again

[frosty dock]

set_ability works with string keys now

[open aspen]

well

it didn’t for me

or maybe it did

cause now that i think about it it might have been because i fucked up the ternary from the beginning

so it was doing nil

probably that then

[solid surge]

how would i go about creating a card like The Soul for custom rarities, and if possible, where could i look for examples?

As simple of a concept this joker was, it was a good learning experience to try and understand how the modding for the game works - and I am happy to say it works!
