lordy me

we love to see it

[zealous glen]

I’m curious now

[modern kindle]

we were talking about this server is a cultist sect and how we need to consume specific entities in here, specifically this one guy named victin

[daring fern]

How does one go about doing this?

[zealous glen]

Cult? What cult?

There’s no cult here

[modern kindle]

[zealous glen]

How is it currently triggering?

[daring fern]

If you have atleast one each voucher gives X3 mult once.

[zealous glen]

But how did you code it

I have no idea what you’re doing

[zealous glen]

So you could have the Joker itself generate the xMult

But if you want to keep this

You can save the return if find_joker and iterate over it

Also it’s weird that it doesn’t need a key

[quartz ravine]

Ok, thank you very much for offering 🙂

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
        --it was a  high card, we will eat 2's

        if context.destroy_card:get_id() == 2 then
            sendInfoMessage("This is a 2 " .. context.destroy_card:get_id(), self.key)

            card.ability.extra = card.ability.extra + card.ability.extraGrowthRate
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.45,
                func = function()
                    play_sound("Fox_yoshiEat", 1.05)
                    context.destroy_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3);
                    return { remove = true, card=context.destroy_card }
                end
            }))
            sendInfoMessage("we are going to destroy this card", self.key)

            return { remove = true,card=context.destroy_card }
        end
    end
end

[daring fern]

How?

[zealous glen]

I feel like this is coded incorrectly

[zealous glen]

You can have the Joker iterate over the CardArea to look for Vouchers, then return xMult, but make the message pop up under the Vouchers if that’s what you want

The only thing that wouldn’t quite be the same is the timing

[modern kindle]

interesting.

[quartz ravine]

It does delete the cards, but my animation processes on the wrong card before deleting them. So if I played all 2's, it would jiggle the final card 4 times, but then delete them all

[zealous glen]

If that’s the bug I’m thinking of

It has been fixed

[zealous glen]

I meant like, it sounds like the wrong approach to implementing this effect

But you’re destroying cards in hand right?

[modern kindle]

was this bug present in fuckin...0319c

do i gott re update

[zealous glen]

I think so

[modern kindle]

ah fantastic, let me update then

[zealous glen]

Hey new release

Just in time

[modern kindle]

what can i say, im a cool guy 😎

[zealous glen]

Are you cool enough to have your own mod

[modern kindle]

i just might be

[zealous glen]

What’s in it

[modern kindle]

still in progress but so far

ignore that its named nefarious pack rn

[zealous glen]

Any theme?

[daring fern]

How would I do this one?

[humble girder]

ngl dilatro sounds NSFW

[modern kindle]

nothing super concrete, just stuff i think would be cool that could more or elss fit the game

[modern kindle]

its my freaking name with balatro 😢

[hardy viper]

if you pronounce it "die" it sounds much better

[modern kindle]

die latro

more like
die lit

[glad osprey]

didlolatro

im so good at typing

[modern kindle]

its alright @manic rune when he first greeted me called me diddy

[onyx sonnet]

@frosty dock that perma_mult bug i showed you was a false alarm. apparently thats caused by some other mod i have installed???? possibly an old custom implementation of perma mult

[manic rune]

im sorry 😭

[modern kindle]

itll always be funny to me dont worry

[fervent thicket]

How would you check if a card is a stone card?

[onyx sonnet]

be called me*

[next timber]

I LOVE LEAVING IT ENTIRELY UP TO FATEE

[wintry solar]

Oh that would make sense

[modern kindle]

i could consume you in 3 and a half hours

[onyx sonnet]

SMODS.has_enhancement(insertcardhere, "m_stone") will return True if the chosen card does have the enhancement, including quantum ones

[gentle rain]

what values does it go between

[next timber]

0.5x and 3x

[gentle rain]

:3c

inchresting

[onyx sonnet]

:3

[modern kindle]

i still need to start incorporating quantum
i just dont know where to really start

[gentle rain]

also the effect looks rly cool too

[modern kindle]

make this use misprint style text for the random mult

[next timber]

idk how

lol

[onyx sonnet]

its not rlly that complex, you turn on the optional setting and you use context.check_enhancement to modify the cards before their enhancement affects are used

[daring fern]

Also each observatory in the slots for some reason triggers the planets again.

[gentle rain]

i saw jt in card.lua yesterday and it looks very involved

how it displays the 0 to 23

[modern kindle]

will that let me retain the default variant so i coudl say, upgrade a card from holo as its default to a deluxe holo

[hushed field]

I should look into quantum enhancements again. They caused some weird and unexpected errors in my code for a while

[gentle rain]

quantum?

[modern kindle]

its not that bad

[quartz ravine]

Oh, yes I am

[next timber]

im not sure im happy with the slimy edition's current range, should i make the it go from x0.1 to x3 or from x0.5 to x2

[onyx sonnet]

quantum doesnt affect the initial enhancements, it only tells the game to apply effects that it wouldnt otherwise

[gentle rain]

oooo
does it display the next card youre gonna draw too

[onyx sonnet]

also im not sure if it works with editions

[modern kindle]

how often is it hitting either end of the range

[modern kindle]

gotcha gotcha

ill have to toy with it

it is called quantum enhancements, not editions

so

[next timber]

it hits numbers above 1 a lot more frequently than it hits number below 1

[primal shoal]

how quick does the image update for the jokers?

[onyx sonnet]

you could, for example, tell the game that it should check for steel cards held in hand and return m_gold = true to tell the game that this steel card should also have the effects of gold cards

[modern kindle]

do it so i can steal it from you bestie

[onyx sonnet]

im using them just fine lol

ill pull up some code

[primal shoal]

like if I change the pos from {0,1} to {0,2} durring gameplay

[hushed field]

in which situation? You mean when you change an image through code?

That should happen instantly

[primal shoal]

animated joker here i come

[modern kindle]

if you want to centralize it more then you could do a range from 0.5 to 2
but if you like it spinning around more then that works too

[onyx sonnet]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.base.id == 7 then
                return {
                    m_lucky = true,
                }
            end
    end
}```
 its that shrimple

[next timber]

im gonna try x0.1 to x3

[gentle rain]

bunco has an animated joker you can use for reference!

[hushed field]

I know it made my jokers that used is_face() crash, regardless of whether they relied on quantum enhancements in any way

[next timber]

i like the extreme values

[hushed field]

but I fully assume that's solved at this point

[modern kindle]

yea i have a joker that changes texture once it reaches a certain point

i need to figure out how poeple have those..like small overlays ontop of their jokers

[onyx sonnet]

yeah you cant use most functions that read the card value

this is because it would cause an infinite loop

[modern kindle]

oh thats not too bad at all

[modern kindle]

instead of is_face cant you just return ranks 11,12,13

[hushed field]

paradoleia

[modern kindle]

ah yea

[primal shoal]

which one

[gentle rain]

The Joker
it looks like a boss blind but bigger

[primal shoal]

oh that how it does the blind effect didn't even think about that

[hushed field]

ui! I'd tell you to check my code for the abduction or active joker UI, but JoyousSprings and Jokerdisplay are very cleanly written mods that are way better to steal from, haha

[modern kindle]

i keep forgetting how really good N was with his ui

[primal shoal]

time to put the sherk movie in a joker

[hushed field]

how do vanilla is_face() checks handle this than?

[hushed field]

ehm is this copyright infringement? Mods? Mods? 😛

[modern kindle]

dont worry, yoll be getting a c&d soon yourself after i reached out to a few agencies..

[onyx sonnet]

well quantum enhancements dont exist in vanilla

thats an SMODS feature

[modern kindle]

well yea but para like he mentioned does the whole face thing

so quantum has to work with it dont it

[onyx sonnet]

you cant use functions whose results would be altered by enhancements

[warped marsh]

Is has_edition a function?

[hushed field]

I know, but if it being active makes it impossible to use is_face(), that'd mean the vanilla code would need to be patched by SMODS to avoid that problem, right?

[onyx sonnet]

para wouldnt work because a face card could have stone and no longer be a face card

so its forbidden

[primal shoal]

is_edition()

[warped marsh]

thank you

[onyx sonnet]

i think the crashes have been patched, by just completely disabling the functions during the enhancement checking process

[primal shoal]

nil if it not an edition

[onyx sonnet]

i tried using :get_id and it would just never return anything,not even an error

[hushed field]

Aaah okay, that makes sense. I'll look into it again soon. I've reworked all quantum enhancement-type jokers to be luckily more interesting, I'd say, but I'm sure new ideas'll pop up for it again in the future

[wintry solar]

The crashes are only if you use those functions within your quantum calculation

But they might have been patched, I don’t remember

[hushed field]

At the time, they happened in any joker that called is_face() for me, regardless of whether they used quantum enhancement, but yeah, I assumed that'd no longer be the case now

[wintry solar]

That doesn’t sound right

[onyx sonnet]

i think ExtraCredit has a way to go around this by creating a new attribute for playing cards which they modify freely, but unfortunately its not really going to work when other mods are in the mix

otherwise you're just gonna have to not use functions and check the raw values of the card

context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_gold" as opposed to SMODS.has_enhancement(insertcardhere, "m_gold")

[warped marsh]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:is_edition('e_polychrome') then
            return {
                Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = "Meow!",
                card = other_card
            }
        end
    end
``` the game crashes, im guessing my formating is wrong (is_edition, a nil value)

[hushed field]

I would not be surprised if part of the problem was me misimplementing things, haha. I'm not a good programmer and I understood SMODS way less when I worked with the quantum enhancements last month, after all

[frosty dock]

(context.other_card.edition or {}).key == 'e_polychrome'

[zealous glen]

local variable = …

[frosty dock]

nah local thunk = ...

[zealous glen]

Then maybe it makes sense but I don’t understand it

[warped marsh]

perfect thank you

[zealous glen]

I think the best people I know with UI are Eremel and N’, then maybe Myst and someone23832

[quartz ravine]

Hi guys, did cryptid do some special magic to show Planet cards in their mod page?

So far, whatever types of stuff I have added just magically showed up in my mod page

[zealous glen]

Though idk how much UI did Myst make

[quartz ravine]

Nevermind, I updated my steammodded and it appeared

[primal shoal]

noooooo someone already did the bad apple mv as a joker

[simple mural]

I can create all the jokers using a loop and then just edit what I need in them.

With "SMODS.Joker:take_ownership" for my jokers

[shell timber]

development today

[brazen tusk]

is that the giant rat that makes all of the rules?

[onyx sonnet]

Thats a pretty small rat

It seems rather cancerous for a rodent

            return { hand } end```
it just doesnt show when the requirements are met so i cant even really debug it

[gentle rain]

mmmm what do yucky cards do

[zealous glen]

Look for the destroy_card context

In the wiki

[modern kindle]

    update = function(self, card, context)
        -- Only proceed if HP is 50% or lower to debuff a random joker
        local health_percentage = card.ability.extra.HP / card.ability.extra.maxHP
        if health_percentage <= to_big(0.5) then
            local jokers = {}

            -- Collect all jokers that aren't this one and aren't already debuffed
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card then
                    if not G.jokers.cards[i].debuff then
                        table.insert(jokers, G.jokers.cards[i])  
                    end
                end
            end

            -- Debuff a random joker from the list
            if #jokers > 0 then
                local debuffjoker = pseudorandom_element(jokers, pseudoseed('fuckan_debuff'))
                if debuffjoker then

                    SMODS.debuff_card(debuffjoker, true, 'stopjoker')
                    SMODS.recalc_debuff(debuffjoker)

                    card.ability.extra.debuffed_jokers = card.ability.extra.debuffed_jokers or {}
                    table.insert(card.ability.extra.debuffed_jokers, debuffjoker)

                    print("[DEBUG] Debuffed Joker:", debuffjoker)
                end
            end
        end
    end,

im trying to just have this iterate over each joker (kinda like crimson heart, but without the fact it undebuffs and reselects with each hand played)
so that when you play 1 hand, one random joker is disabled, then you play another hand and nother one is, and so on and so forth

but i seem to just get to disable one joker and then it stops

what am i missing to make it interate over all held jokers?

[zealous glen]

I don’t think that’s how you’re supposed to do it

[modern kindle]

doing it outside of update made the debuffs disappear next round instead of persisting

[zealous glen]

Use calculate and if context.debuff_card

[zealous glen]

Oh if you want to make it permanent

I think you’ll need to add something else to the card object

[modern kindle]

i need them to persist until i reset it later down the line, i just havent implemented that yet

[zealous glen]

Oh wait you meant next round

Wait

[modern kindle]

no, it has to carry over until i set so

[zealous glen]

Next round as in next Blind?

[modern kindle]

this is a card that has its own blind hp, below 50% means it debuffs 1 random joker per played hand until all are debuffed, once the first set is defeated it undebuffs all

[zealous glen]

What’s “a card that has its own blind hp”

What does that mean

[modern kindle]

card has health at the start, played hand chips impact said health

[frosty dock]

SMODS.debuff_card sets a permanent debuff until explicitly removed

[zealous glen]

Can’t other effects remove it?

From other mods?

[frosty dock]

well unless something prevents debuffs

[zealous glen]

And doesn’t this work the same way?

[frosty dock]

yeah it should

I'm just saying even if you using SMODS.debuff_card, you don't need to do it every frame

it'd be enough to set the debuff once and later remove it

[wintry solar]

There are very few things that need doing every frame

[modern kindle]

gotcha, so this will persist past rounds then normally with smods.debuff_card?

i know earlier when i tried it just reset my table and then started debuffing anew

instead of saving what was prev debuffed

ill give it another go however

[frosty dock]

or does this need to get backed by another layer

[frosty dock]

yeah there's no reason for it not to

the convenient thing about SMODS.set_debuff is that you can call it at any point in time to set or cancel the debuff as opposed to context.debuff_card only being called in certain timings

[brazen tusk]

this currently only retriggers the lucky card the first time it successfully triggers, does anyone know if theres a way i can make it keep retriggering if it keeps successfully triggering?

[modern kindle]

alright rad, thank you

[frosty dock]

no

steamodded doesn't allow multiple layers of retriggers, especially not arbitrarily many

[brazen tusk]

aight ty

[frosty dock]

imagine i come along with 3 oops and the game just freezes because it keeps trying to retrigger the lucky card

[modern kindle]

ah yea, smods.debuff_card works perfectly now, i mustve just been tired last night and did it incorrectly
thanks again

[brazen tusk]

looks up at the 3 oops's i had for testing purposes 💀

[open aspen]

is it possible to have a sticker have a "floaty" animation like the soul cards etc?

[brazen tusk]

very true lmao

[open aspen]

in cryptid arent there cards that retrigger all jokers, and a card that retriggers jokers to the left

why doesnt that crash the game

or is that exactly because of this failsafe

[open aspen]

I wanted to have stickers like this? is that a thing u can do?

[brazen tusk]

theres a finite end to that ig, if you have 3 oops's a lucky card is guaranteed to hit so there wouldn't be an end

[open aspen]

ah

well

no

[long sun]

hiya! where can i find the tool that removes the phantom black border from assets?

[open aspen]

cause in cryptid the retrigger all is a 1/2 chance. but u can rig it to be a 2/2. if u get two of those

it wont crash

(but i assume now for sure its because it cant be retriggered twice by the same card)

[brazen tusk]

does it retrigger itself?

[open aspen]

wait im dumb as fuck

it says ignores other boredoms (card name)

lol

[frosty dock]

there's no retriggers on retriggers

the most layers you'll get is a joker retriggering a joker that retriggers a playing card

[open aspen]

at all?

what about chad from cryptid? that retriggers twice?

[frosty dock]

you can retrigger any amount of times

but you can't retrigger those retriggers again

[open aspen]

I see

[faint yacht]

...well, aside from playing cards.

[open aspen]

that makes sense

[frosty dock]

if i have boredom retriggering chad, it won't do anything

[brazen tusk]

just can't have like, nested retriggers ig is a way to say it

[open aspen]

this massively changes how i play cryptid 💀

[wintry solar]

In essence, the question of “how many times do you want to retrigger this joker?” is only asked once

[frosty dock]

but boredom might retrigger the same card that chad retriggers, stacking for 3 total retriggers

[open aspen]

you cant have the same joker ask it again

i get it

if a different joker comes and asks its okay then ofc

[wintry solar]

Yes

[open aspen]

thanks for info, if i add retrigger effects I will keep that in mind

so uh back to the question I had before. Is it possible to have a sticker have a "floaty" animation like the soul cards etc?

[zealous glen]

Firch had made one

[frosty dock]

yes, by having a draw function on the sticker

[zealous glen]

I’d ask Firch directly

But you do need Python IIRC

[long sun]

i've got that ^^

grand

[open aspen]

would that be similar to how soul type consumables cards are done

[zealous glen]

IIRC it was also annoying to use

[open aspen]

i can reference what cryptid did at least

for gateway

[zealous glen]

I haven’t tried it yet because I haven’t felt the need to

[frosty dock]

yeah

[zealous glen]

But I know the tool only works on 1x sprites

I think

[open aspen]

ty!

[zealous glen]

I remember Firch had it working in a specific way because that’s what they needed

[prisma loom]

Can someone explain why the card destruction effect of my Joker works on 2nd played hand as well (while I specifically set it to trigger on 1st hand of round)

        if context.first_hand_drawn and not context.blueprint then
            local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 end
            juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
        end
        if context.destroying_card and not context.blueprint and card.ability.extra.joker_triggered == true then
            card.ability.extra.joker_triggered = false
            return true
        end
        if not card.debuff then
            if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and #context.full_hand == 1 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_hnds_energized'),
                    colour = G.C.FILTER,
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
        if context.cardarea == G.play and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and context.destroying_card and not context.destroying_card.debuff and not context.blueprint then
            if pseudorandom('energized') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                card.ability.extra.joker_triggered = true
            end
            return {
                remove = true,
                message = localize('k_hnds_zapped'),
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                delay = 1,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end```

[zealous glen]

(IIRC they asked a friend to code it, not sure)

[prisma loom]

it doesnt destroy cards on 3rd or 4th etc. hands

but on the 2nd does

for some reason

[wintry solar]

You’re using the same context in multiple places

Returning true from destroy card destroys the card

[tepid crow]

Oh hey Eremel wanted to ask a question

[zealous glen]

you don’t need if variable == true

[prisma loom]

What if I need the same context?

how I go about it?

[zealous glen]

You can nest ifs

If you need to

[tepid crow]

I'm trying to use SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, blueprint_card, context), but it seems like blueprint_card is actually the card that's being blueprinted? as opposed to the blueprint/brainstorm joker?

[frosty dock]

combine your effects to be contained in one if statement that doesn't have multiple returns in the same branch

[frosty dock]

card is the blueprint, blueprint_card is the blueprinted card

[wintry solar]

Yeah that sounds correct

[zealous glen]

Clearly not confusing at all

[tepid crow]

I'm confused, why?

[prisma loom]

How exactly?

it shows an error

[tepid crow]

since context.blueprint_card is the blueprint/brainstorm, setting blueprint_card to the blueprinted card doesn't make any sense to me

[zealous glen]

You’re missing an end

[frosty dock]

... because you messed up your syntax

[zealous glen]

But also as aure said

If you nest if blocks

You’ll want to collect the data

Into a single return

[prisma loom]

how to nest

I dont understand the term

[open aspen]

(is there any documentation for how draw functions work)

[tepid crow]

if true then
  if true then
    if true then
      ...
    end
    ...
  end
end

[zealous glen]

if a then
    if b then
        …
    end
end

[wintry solar]

Because when I wrote the function that’s the name that made sense to me

I hadn’t thought about other uses of that name

[tepid crow]

Ah. So it's the exact opposite of the vanilla naming schemes by accident

[zealous glen]

That’s the way

[wintry solar]

It should be fine when I finally finish the calc docs

[tepid crow]

would there be issues by just swapping them right now? 🤔

[manic rune]

can we have a patch that scales on the entire Mods folder

[tepid crow]

I really do not like blueprint_card not being the actual... blueprint card

[manic rune]

which changes all consumeables to consumables please

[open aspen]

or like an example mod that uses a draw function

[manic rune]

:3

[open aspen]

oh dear

[wintry solar]

I mean it’s an internal function, the names can be whatever people want them to be

It doesn’t bother me

[zealous glen]

You can make a PR

[prisma loom]

How can I nest if I end the block with return{} end?

[zealous glen]

As I mentioned aure saying above

Collect the data into a single return

[tepid crow]

I know, I'm just asking if there would be any obvious issues with changing the names (afaik Lua doesn't support keyword arguments so should be fine)

[prisma loom]

2 different messages?

would that work?

[manic rune]

no

[zealous glen]

Yes

[manic rune]

wha

[zealous glen]

If you do it correctly

[manic rune]

you can do

return{
message = "hi",
message = "hello",
}

???

[zealous glen]

If they’re not handled automatically

[wintry solar]

No

[manic rune]

i thought you need calculate_effect for that one

[zealous glen]

You want an extra table with the second message

[prisma loom]

I'm hella confused rn x(

[wintry solar]

Return {
message = first,
extra = {
  message = second
}
}```

[manic rune]

o

wait

whats extra?

[faint yacht]

Additional "steps", basically.

[wintry solar]

Just an extra return table

[tepid crow]

basically a recursive return

[wintry solar]

You can keep nesting them

[manic rune]

can you do

return{
  message = "1",
  extra = {
    message = "2",
    extra = {
      message = "3",
      ...
    }
  }
}

[zealous glen]

It’s the same as the original table

Yes

[manic rune]

holy fuck

[tepid crow]

I use it for janky returns >:D

[prisma loom]

I have 2 separate effects and I need a different message to pop up when respective effect activates
How putting everything in one return{} would work

i didnt think this was possible

[open aspen]

(nichijou)

[zealous glen]

I guess I was thinking of a different black cat with a red cloth

[open aspen]

now i wonder which

[manic rune]

that cat

[open aspen]

is there docs or examples of a use of the draw hook

[manic rune]

reminds me of an osu player

-# not a good one

[open aspen]

i see this cat as a lot of peoples pfp

im getting deja vu

[gentle rain]

can you also add like colors and delays to this too

[open aspen]

i swear someone else has said this pfp reminded them of a not so good person

[manic rune]

i think so

[zealous glen]

There was someone who used a black cat, possibly with a red cloth, as their avatar in the TvTropes forums

Maybe a decade ago at this point

[prisma loom]

I put everything in one return and nested ifs

joker doesnt work now

[gentle rain]

yeah ive seen that cat as a pfp before they were alright

[manic rune]

Hello World!

[open aspen]

is there docs or examples of a use of the draw hook

[manic rune]

draw hook?

[prisma loom]

Did I miss something?

[open aspen]

idk i call it hook

idk if thats the right word

[manic rune]

oh, draw

dunno

[manic rune]

nop

hook is different

[gentle rain]

for stickers? hmm where are stickers and their shaders stored

[manic rune]

its when you put additional code in an existing function

[open aspen]

ah

gotcha

[open aspen]

what i want to do is render the sticker but not exactly attached to the card itself

as if it was

a legendary or the soul card

[gentle rain]

OH

[zealous glen]

I don’t think there’s a context where both context.repetition and context.destroying_card are simultaneously true

[gentle rain]

hmm yeah i havent done anything with soul_pos

[open aspen]

i have a feeling soul pos isnt a thing for stickers

[gentle rain]

id imagine youd have to do some custom code to implement that

[hushed field]

The crash log's not entirely clear, but I think my custom cardareas are crashing the game on leaving the run. It seems that the cards table for those cardareas is missing. Is that an issue someone's got some insight into?

[open aspen]

yep

[gentle rain]

good luck 🫡

[prisma loom]

I told you my Joker has 2 different effects😭 there's no way I can avoid using the same context twice

[zealous glen]

I don’t understand this message

[zealous glen]

If the Jokers does different things in different contexts

[prisma loom]

Both retriggering and destruction uses the same context

[zealous glen]

Use different if blocks for them

[high eagle]

well this is odd

[zealous glen]

That’s now how contexts work

They are separated in the code

And that’s the end of the story

[gentle rain]

the steamodded wiki should be pinned in this channel shouldnt it

[zealous glen]

What you need is to apply different effects in different contexts

If the effects are connected, you need to connect them

But not via contexts

[high eagle]

I have no idea why this crashed, i think my atlas is correct?

[gentle rain]

can u post the code

[high eagle]

SMODS.Atlas {
-- Key for code to find it with
key = "super_balatro_sweater",
-- The name of the file, for the code to pull the atlas from
path = "super_balatro_sweater.png",
-- Width of each sprite in 1x size
px = 71,
-- Height of each sprite in 1x size
py = 95
}

[wintry solar]

No they don’t

[hushed field]

you want to shwo the code where the crash is happening as well!

[gentle rain]

yeah

jt says the error is at line 11

[open aspen]

i notice the vanilla code has something like this. is there a such thing as floating sprite i can access with smods? for a sticker

[gentle rain]

but also we need to see the code of the joker itself not just the atlas

[hushed field]

Eremel, is there a specific point in the start_run code that I should set up cardareas? I'm getting crashes, and am currently setting them up with a hook of the Game:start_run() function

[high eagle]

that is weird, bc thats the same code

base*

[zealous glen]

They meant that their Joker’s effect needs both contexts, but they don’t understand how contexts work

[wintry solar]

Wherever the default ones are set up, just patch in there

[zealous glen]

I patched mine where the vanilla ones are set up

[hushed field]

thank youu

Yeah, doing that now, as well

[open aspen]

wait, if i make a sticker, and add soul pos, will it automatically have a floating sprite

[high eagle]

oh! i forgot to mention that the crash happens when i open my mod's "jokers" tab in the collection

[zealous glen]

Good afternoon, Eremel. Do you know how the SMODS.Mod function to debuff cards works?

[zealous glen]

Maybe

[wintry solar]

I do not

[zealous glen]

If soul sprites are a thing for stickers

[gentle rain]

hmmm i gotta look into soul_pos myself

[hushed field]

Hmm, considering the keys match, I don't see why that'd crash. Are you loading all the files in properly? 🤔

[zealous glen]

I made an Enhancement that debuffs itself but it’s not undebuffing itself correctly

[high eagle]

how would i check that?

[zealous glen]

Although using the Enhancement’s calculate function

[gentle rain]

it shouldnt CRASH though, itd just fall back on jimbo right?

[hushed field]

not if the joker file loads, but the file that defines the atlas doesn't, right?

[gentle rain]

mm i suppose

[hushed field]

but if you know anything about coding, your insight may be sharper than mine, so you may very well be right, haha

[gentle rain]

nah i started learning coding last week lmfao

im just using what i know from implementing felt manor last night
if you have a joker that never references an atlas it falls back on jimbo

[hushed field]

oh fair, then fuck your insight, mine's perfect I'm literally seeing the matrix rn

[high eagle]

so what should i do?

[manic rune]

how about debuffing the joker for the current ante instead

[zealous glen]

Update SMODS

[manic rune]

i think its not that useful when it is very likely to break on your first/second use

[hushed field]

What file are you defining your atlas in? And which method for loading files are you using?

[zealous glen]

It destroys the card

[manic rune]

o

:3

yeah nvm then

[gentle rain]

hmmm itd be easier to diagnose if you just posted the .lua file in full so we can point out specific line numbers

[manic rune]

send the 98% to me

[high eagle]

{
"id": "supbal",
"name": "Super Balatro Sweater",
"author": ["orbytt"],
"description": "Adds some new jokers to balatro",

"dependencies": [
"Steamodded (>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1225a)"

"version": "1.0.0" }

ok ill do that

[gentle rain]

or if you posted screenshots including the numbers

[zealous glen]

2%

[manic rune]

:(

[modern kindle]

make me 34 custom cardareas that all can interact with each other and be displayed at the same time without overlapping

[manic rune]

listen, i have an idea

what if

[open aspen]

what is the name of the pool for playing cards

[manic rune]

the card area below the consumable area that literally everyone uses

have pages instead

:3

so everyone can still use that area

[prisma loom]

good thing that you mentioned that, I think I figured out how to form a proper structure for my ifs blocks (i hope) and everything works now except card destruction, it doesnt happen:

            if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and #context.full_hand == 1 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
                if context.destroying_card and not context.destroying_card.debuff and not context.blueprint then
                    if pseudorandom('energized') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                        card.ability.extra.joker_triggered = true
                        return {
                            message = localize('k_hnds_zapped'),
                            colour = G.C.MULT,
                        }
                    end
                end
                return {
                    remove = true,
                    message = localize('k_hnds_energized'),
                    colour = G.C.FILTER,
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
    end```

[open aspen]

these are the vanilla ones. which one is the right pool

[hushed field]

spelling error in the atlas key

[modern kindle]

honestly this is soemthing ive considered, or making it so people can click a button and it just blacks your screen for a sec, and then changes your ui entirely to show cardareas (think of how windows can let you have virtual desktops or whatever, but in balala)

[hushed field]

I've been considering making this for a while, haha

[high eagle]

whats the erorr

error

[hushed field]

balatro vs baltro

[high eagle]

oh

[manic rune]

we would need everyone to collectively use that lib though

or figure out a way to somehow bundle up all card areas into one

[hushed field]

I'd try and write in a way that would convince the smods team to make it part of SMODS 😛

[manic rune]

-# idk if thats even possible

[modern kindle]

this would be the wave

[manic rune]

i think that as long as you write it

[modern kindle]

since everyone already needs that

[manic rune]

it will be accepted

:3

[open aspen]

this is gonna be like the subworld library mod of this game

fr

[hushed field]

Bepis, I don't write great code, I just sound confident when I talk about it sometimes

[manic rune]

but if it works, it works

[gentle rain]

yeah ur atlas seems fine, i dunno

[hushed field]

especially when it comes to UI, haha

[manic rune]

as they always say

[modern kindle]

if it works, it is by default great

[manic rune]

^

[open aspen]

anyone know what pool is used for playing cards? so i can have my sticker work on playing cards

[high eagle]

what line?

[hushed field]

if it works it works is good enough for Kino, but I prefer SMODS to be well written or not written by me so that I don't feel bad when it breaks 😛

[high eagle]

(sorry im a bit dyslexic

[hushed field]

the atlas definition in your joker

[manic rune]

would it be funny

if i release a lib for adding pages to your jokers' description

:3

[hushed field]

a good hack for that is to just ctrl-f a key and see if it finds the other uses. And many editors highlight all instances of the same text when one is selected, which is also a good way to check it!

[open aspen]

is it just default? or back?

[manic rune]

pro tip: ctrl + shift + F will find that instance in all files

-# and you can replace them all to something too

[zealous glen]

I’d like to have a button that can be held to add extra information

[manic rune]

back refers to your deck, im pretty sure

[manic rune]

oh, like joyousspring?

[zealous glen]

I think the only challenge is regenerating the UI

[zealous glen]

Does it have that?

[open aspen]

that is what i thought as well

[manic rune]

its actually not as complicated as you think

[zealous glen]

I know they have a button to open a pop up

That’s not what I wanted

[manic rune]

all you need to do is

card:stop_hover()
card:hover()

and it will regen the ui

[zealous glen]

That’s what I thought

But I thought it was the dumb solution lol

[modern kindle]

nope youre a genius

[manic rune]

its the fastest way, definitely

and very compact too

:3

[zealous glen]

Do you have this system working?

[manic rune]

...i mean, how my jokers switch descriptions on the go uses just that

https://streamable.com/kt5boy

you can see how it regens the ui

-# didnt realize the first seconds were laggy

[zealous glen]

Ping sound

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/eadgup

i think this is smoother

so yeah, dont worry, it definitely works

:3

[zealous glen]

Hmmm

[zealous glen]

Maybe I’ll use that for keyword descriptions

[manic rune]

mhm

[zealous glen]

Do you have the code for it at hand?

[high eagle]

...im lost

[manic rune]

you can do what N' did, he added an info queue saying smt like

"Hold F to show smt smt"

[zealous glen]

I understand the part of the info_queue

To regenerate the UI

Do you create a keybind that detects if it’s hovering over a card

Then recreates it?

[hushed field]

i'm so sorry, I sent you on a wild goose chase. There wasn't a spelling error, I just checked my screen recording, and I hit backspace the moment I opened the file without noticing, and created that error myself 😢

[modern kindle]

ice out here seeing ghosts

[hushed field]

dumbest I've felt in literal years 🙂

[modern kindle]

my hands dont like listening to the order i tell keys to be pressed in so i often be mistyping

[manic rune]

nope, it actually just increases a "page" var inside your joker, which generate_ui uses to figure out which description it should load

the code is all in my mod github's page

in jokers.lua, if you want to take a look :3

[fervent thicket]

calculate = function (self, card, context)
    if(context.final_scoring_step) then
      sendDebugMessage(G.hand.cards[1]:get_id(), "FGLOGGER")
      if #context.full_hand == 1 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.full_hand[1], "m_stone") then
        sendDebugMessage("Worked", "FGLOGGER")
        card.ability.extra.totalmult = card.ability.extra.totalmult + card.ability.extra.mult
        card.ability.extra.durability = card.ability.extra.durability - 1
        return {
          message = card.ability.extra.totalmult,
          colour = G.C.MULT,
          delay = 0.45, 
          remove_card = context.full_hand[1]
        }
      end
    end
  end

This is where that error is occuring. Could someone tell me what's wrong with it?

[zealous glen]

Actually that looked too painful

[manic rune]

and keybinds.lua too

im actually pretty proud that i got it working

during like

the first 2-3 weeks of modding lol

[zealous glen]

But generate_ui needs to be called again

[manic rune]

mhm

thats where the :stop_hover() and :hover() comes in

[high eagle]

All good :3

[zealous glen]

Here

[zealous glen]

But that’s what I said

[zealous glen]

This is the keybind I mentioned 😭

[manic rune]

.oh im fucking dumb

IM SO SORRY I MISUNDERSTOOD

😭

[humble girder]

you could just use a func in your uielement config and a dirty flag if you don't want to solve it this ugly

[manic rune]

🙏

[open aspen]

anyone know which of these corresponds to playing cards?

[manic rune]

wait, how would that work?

[open aspen]

i have to assume default. but also that would be a very ambiguous/misleading name

[modern kindle]

if people dont answer, you can just test the pools yourself and find the answer

[zealous glen]

I’m too stupid to know how to do that

[humble girder]

any UIE that has config.func defined will call G.FUNCS[config.func] every update frame with the e argument, which is the UIE

[zealous glen]

I think for unenhanced playing cards that’s it

[humble girder]

you can feel free to manipulate the UIBox tree from within that function as needed

[open aspen]

wait

so enhanced card

ok question, does this ignore compat?

[humble girder]

you can also store any amount of metadata in config

[manic rune]

wouldnt it be a bit worse performance-wise though? since its running every frame, but im not sure since people always tell me not to use update unless absolutely necessary

[open aspen]

cause if so this whole tangent was useless because this sticker will never show up randomly it only will ever be applied

[humble girder]

it would be pretty bad if you didn't use a dirty flag

[manic rune]

-# whats a dirty flag

[humble girder]

it's a flag that dresses in latex in the bedroom

[zealous glen]

🇺🇸

[manic rune]

-# huh??? 😭

[humble girder]

one extra function call per update frame that does nothing but check a bool flag would not be a massive performance hit

[manic rune]

i dont think so

[zealous glen]

Not in front of the kids (Bepis)

[modern kindle]

performance schmerformance if anyone is struggling tell them to buy a better pc

[manic rune]

you would probably need to handle some conditions in the apply function itself

[hushed field]

yes it does

[manic rune]

YOU UNDERSTAND ME

[humble girder]

surely that was PG-13

[manic rune]

ALL OF MY JOKERS USE UPDATE :333

[open aspen]

bro

u sure?

[open aspen]

i wasted a lot of time on that 😭

[humble girder]

a dirty flag for a cache or a regular operation is a flag that you can set as an indicator that something needs to be refreshed or regenerated

[manic rune]

i guess thats true

hm

but my method still works, right?

[humble girder]

i mean, yeah

nothing wrong with it

[manic rune]

since using yours would mean that i will need to rewrite my generate_ui code

[hushed field]

Yes, my mod has stickers that can only be applied to a specific type of consumable, and I didn't need to do anything to get that to work.

[manic rune]

-# and uh, im still trying to push out updates as fast as possible

[open aspen]

wait im pretty sure this isnt even the method to apply stickers. cause its a method of stickers

[zealous glen]

I don’t know where I would begin to implement Baliame’s method

So I don’t think I will

[humble girder]

it's still worth keeping in mind because you don't always have an easy unhover-hover solution

[open aspen]

what did you do? like call a function to add the sticker?

[manic rune]

you would probably still need to use your own generate_ui function for the jokers

then use that update function for the ui

and tells it to load different descriptions depending on a var

-# im guessing

[open aspen]

or do those consumables randomly have the sticker. I am making stickers that never show up naturally

[zealous glen]

That’s what loc_vars is for

[hushed field]

let me check the code. I made it so that if you have certain jokers or vouchers, they can spawn with random stickers, but that would use the exact same logic you're looking for. They show up naturally only because I've hooked a function

[manic rune]

i agree, the fact that uis actually have an "update"-like function built in to them is actually very nice

i will take note of that, thanks!

[manic rune]

you wouldnt want your joker descriptions to be

"#1#"

and changes it everytime you want a new description right

-# i actually did that for the stickers which shows debuffs and buffs

[hushed field]

I use

SMODS.Stickers['kino_extra_large']:apply(_card, true)
``` to apply it

[zealous glen]

I’d use main_end

[open aspen]

i see, ty!

[zealous glen]

Which goes in loc_vars

[manic rune]

:3 whats that

[zealous glen]

That’s how I made dynamically updating Jokers

[manic rune]

oh

[open aspen]

wait whats the convention for sticker prefixes here

[manic rune]

so thats what they are for, like misprint?

[open aspen]

is it just modid_sticker_name?

[zealous glen]

@manic rune

[manic rune]

icic

thats nice

[zealous glen]

Not necessarily but it could be used for something like that

[open trench]

it took me forever

but I finally got modding working :3

[zealous glen]

But they don’t regenerate automatically

[manic rune]

nice!

[zealous glen]

Here it’s fine because they don’t need to

Since they only change once you hover away to select a card

[manic rune]

true

but what if you use handy which allows you to play cards without having to get your mouse off the joker though

:3

[hushed field]

[modid]_[stickername], yup

[zealous glen]

Skill issue

[manic rune]

fair

[hushed field]

that specific example might be slightly confusing because the sticker is called 'Extra Large', it's not part of some set called extra, haha

[zealous glen]

Well if I implement the rehover key, it would help

Baliame is still typing; I’m scared

[manic rune]

          card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "Possessed!" })

this triggers on every Joker, and also causes the buy price to increase while the Jokers are being purchased.

what did i do wrong? ^^

[humble girder]

given that you have direct access somewhere to the UI nodes you can do like an empty row

-- Where the UI is defined
local node = {n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cm", func = "lazy_load_or_update_my_special_row", card = context.other_card, created = false}, nodes = {}}

then put your function in G.FUNCS

G.FUNCS.lazy_load_or_update_my_special_row = function(e)
    -- Lazy loading: e.config.created = false initially
    -- Dirty flag: We can use metadata from the node config (in this case, card). Set flag on the object being referenced.
    if not e.config.created or e.config.card.ui_dirty then
       -- Destroy all child nodes for the row. You can also update existing nodes in-place.
       for _, child in ipairs(e.children) do child:remove() end
       e.children = {}

       -- Create some node that you want to add
       local node = {n = G.UIT.T, config = {text = localize('k_omg_it_works_ex'), scale = 0.5, colour = G.C.BLACK}}
       
       -- Add new nodes under the updated UIE node
       e.UIBox:set_parent_child(node, e)

       -- Recalculate UIBox sizes
       e.UIBox:recalculate(true)

       -- Unset lazy loading / dirty flag.
       e.config.created = true
       e.config.card.ui_dirty = false
   end
end

What do you mean increasing the buy price?

Of Jokers in the shop?

[manic rune]

OH YEAH, using func for this actually never crossed my mind

[long sun]

like, a joker that costs $6 is bought for $9

[manic rune]

i only used it for checking conditions if a button can be pressed

😭

[long sun]

(or, whatever the Negative price would be)

[manic rune]

thats actually much nicer though, hm

[zealous glen]

How to gain access to the correct UI nodes though

[humble girder]

usually you would hook the corresponding create_UIBox_foo function

[zealous glen]

Oh right. Put the apply into an Event

[manic rune]

is it weird how the cassette joker from bunco mod specifically triggers my generate_ui function

[humble girder]

you can freely manipulate the balatro DOM there before it's parsed into a UIE

[long sun]

oh okie :D

[twilit cargo]

mila mila mila (this is so scuffed)

[long sun]

cheers ^^

[zealous glen]

My issue is that I don’t understand it very well

[primal shoal]

i understand it some how....

[humble girder]

yeah uhh

can't help you there, UI code is stupid amounts of trial and error

[zealous glen]

You can also return the message you want

[humble girder]

i wonder if even thunk still understands it

[zealous glen]

I think I’ll stick to the easy solution

[humble girder]

nothing really wrong with that

[gentle rain]

hmmmmmm
wondering if its possible to use like the glossy voucher shader, but only have it render on certain parts of the joker to initate the gloss this album imitate

[manic rune]

i think what baliame suggested is a more "all-rounded" solution to most ui problems that require refreshing the ui

[zealous glen]

You’d need to use multiple layers

Like soul sprite

Or write a custom shader

[manic rune]

and uh, anything that requires update too, i suppose

[humble girder]

the glossy shader already does this to some extent (the one that gives booster packs and whatnot the shiny look)

[zealous glen]

Definitely but I wouldn’t implement it unless I needed it

[manic rune]

but i dont think its that necessary for what im doing

[gentle rain]

oh?

[manic rune]

its definitely nice to keep it in mind though, i can see it being extremely useful for other cases

[humble girder]

it's also arcane magic, so i can't explain how it does that

[zealous glen]

I think I’m gonna use it for keyword definitions

[gentle rain]

bleh

shaders

[zealous glen]

Try this

[manic rune]

same, i will stick to my dirty code for now :3

[hushed field]

shaders and ui are systems you less so understand and more so commune with through arcane ritual ❤️

[zealous glen]

It’s easier

[humble girder]

but in theory if you apply some sort of tone mapping that pushes values away from 0.5 luminosity (lower if lower or higher if higher) to the output of it then it should get a similar result

[manic rune]

shaders and UIs gotta be the end-game of balatro modding 💔

[limber blaze]

shaders are basically pure math with some extra things added on to make it "nicer"

ui is fine because its less annoying imo

[humble girder]

i'm sort of good with shaders tbh

[gentle rain]

mmm the thing abt multiple layers is that the one above would move around like normal soul sprites wouldnt it?

[humble girder]

UI is worse

[zealous glen]

IIRC thunk personally told me they like starting creating games by the UI

[limber blaze]

i love making ui and im so bad at making shaders

[zealous glen]

The UI is the most important part in their opinion

If I remember it correctly

[manic rune]

i mean, balatro ui looks incredibly nice

i can see why

[limber blaze]

i always make sure i have a good ui system near the start but first is like probably overkill

[manic rune]

not over-the-top, its clean

[zealous glen]

Not if you code it correctly

[limber blaze]

no point making the ui if you cant get the actual gameplay to work

[manic rune]

it looks nice to the eyes

[thin anchor]

what the hell are you doing here little man

[manic rune]

its like, probably the perfect ui design localthunk couldve chosen

if that somehow makes sense

[hushed field]

that's pretty obvious when playing Balatro, yeah, the game's success is largely UI-based, I'd say, because while the game itself is super fun, card games always rely on UI and feedback

[zealous glen]

It has some issues

But it’s very good

[manic rune]

its light on the eyes, which is pretty important for an addictive game like balatro

[humble girder]

well, the thing is it kinda feels like thunk started making a UI library, and then tested it to the exact extent balatro needed it, and whatever balatro doesn't directly do in vanilla is incredibly buggy and hardly works lol

[tepid crow]

is a joker's return extra not a perfect "multiple return"? having some weird issues, especially with retriggers

[gentle rain]

mmm ill look at how soul_pos works and ask more later

[zealous glen]

Idk better ask someone who knows about it

[zealous glen]

You’d need a custom draw function

[limber blaze]

this is why i never work in love or lua because i hate them and im much better at making ui systems outside of love

[zealous glen]

But at that point it should be easier

[gentle rain]

yeyeye

[open aspen]

how can i use debug plus to add a modded sticker

[humble girder]

personally I wouldn't do soul sprite for an extra shader pass, the first shader pass already has all the information needed, and you can literally combine shader outputs by multiplying them together

[manic rune]

fair point, but i find lua very straightforward for beginners

[zealous glen]

Also no one batted an eye at this

[humble girder]

it's an approach for sure

[limber blaze]

we need to kill beginners so people stop making beginner languages and letting them become widespread

[tepid crow]

you might be able to use eval dp.hovered.<sticker-stuff>?

[zealous glen]

But that would require custom shader code AFAIK

[humble girder]

it's probably even the correct one if you're making a commercial game

[manic rune]

chill 😭

[humble girder]

it would lol

[gentle rain]

beginner here and yeah kind of

[hushed field]

Some people think UIs are fun, after all

[zealous glen]

I meant the part thunk told me personally lol

[manic rune]

you can use uhh

[humble girder]

oh i mean

thunk's on this discord

[manic rune]

eval SMODS.Sticker["...

smt smt

[hushed field]

i assume thunk talks to people sometimes, victin

[manic rune]

use Ice's code to apply the sticker to your cards manually

[limber blaze]

i like starting with the ui very early so its definitely an understandable approach but i just think starting first isnt always the best idea in all situations

[zealous glen]

But why me

[limber blaze]

especially if youre trying to make something that you dont know if youll be able to

[humble girder]

i've talked to reynad before on the merit of being on the bazaar discord and i don't fee like it's anything special ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limber blaze]

then you sink a ton of time into making it look nice before you can actually test if your idea is feasible

[humble girder]

i used to talk a lot to the slay the spire devs

[manic rune]

...this is actually how my mod was born, if im gonna be honest 😭

[zealous glen]

Probably. For me, my issue philosophically was that what good is the UI for if there’s nothing for it to display

[limber blaze]

people forget that developers for the most part are just normal people

[frosty dock]

I doubt thunk would care, not like it was his plan to publish a game at all

[limber blaze]

well yes im speaking generally

[manic rune]

"can you add stats to a joker, i wonder"

which all led to the creation of my mod

:3

[open aspen]

sorry for all the questions: which is the localization for stickers here?

[zealous glen]

Thunk used to be more active here, but isn’t, so it could be surprising

[limber blaze]

completely offtopic to balatro but the idea for my game started out as trying to see if i could make stardew valley but realistic and i built from ther

[neat plover]

how do i change the title logo like cardsauce?

[manic rune]

eval SMODS.Stickers['your_sticker_key']:apply(the_card_you_want_to_change, true)

[neat plover]

#🃏・off-topic

[frosty dock]

Other

[open aspen]

thanks

[manic rune]

why are all the smods people here

😭

[open aspen]

thanks

[manic rune]

are we summoning smodxodia

[frosty dock]

also misc.labels for the label

[zealous glen]

Oh you’re surprised by the SMODS people but not by thunk

[neat plover]

well thats good cause i need help

[onyx sonnet]

Smodsopolis

[manic rune]

i mean, ive certainly seen him talking in this server before

its more impressive if you see something happening before your eyes

[primal shoal]

after two mods im gonna start working on sfw mods now lol

[manic rune]

uhh if you understand what i mean :3

[modern kindle]

im sorry, the other ones were nsfw?

[manic rune]

im catching up to u aure

:3

[zealous glen]

As opposed to… NSFW mods?

[manic rune]

only been 2 months since i was here too, actually

[modern kindle]

yea whateve rive got you both b eat

this is golf rules

[primal shoal]

yeah a whole 2 of them
not posted here ofc

[frosty dock]

that's crazy

[limber blaze]

you lose

[zealous glen]

How many messages do I have

[frosty dock]

i don't even have the most messages here
-# (yet)

[manic rune]

huh

im actually very surprised i have like, half of you guys' messages

[modern kindle]

i came in 1/27 but i dont ask too amny questions i just break shit until it works

[zealous glen]

I’m surprised how many NSFW Balatro mods there are

[limber blaze]

i dont really chat that often here i just post stuff and dip most of the time

[zealous glen]

The yapper

[manic rune]

...balustro

[modern kindle]

plus i do alot of searching

[manic rune]

😭

[modern kindle]

most of the times questions are answered

[manic rune]

i love socializing with this community

[primal shoal]

my inspiration

[onyx sonnet]

im only at 1k .... 💔

[manic rune]

everyone is nice to talk to :3

[neat plover]

i need to calm down

[hushed field]

fuck you bepis

[modern kindle]

i like socializing with bepis, ice, aiko

[manic rune]

and i try my best to help everyone when i can too

[modern kindle]

vic is neat too

[frosty dock]

i think that's shadowbulb? I'm not 100% sure

[manic rune]

aw :(

[zealous glen]

🥺

[onyx sonnet]

big fan of bepis

[frosty dock]

you too icl

[manic rune]

❤️ thanks guys

also

[onyx sonnet]

aure do you enjoy doing tech support?

[modern kindle]

ngl i feel intimidated by eremel but im sure hes cool

i feel like a child to that mans knowledge

john smods here feels like a celebrity in my eyes that im not worthy to speak to casually

[manic rune]

should i be worried :3

[onyx sonnet]

:3c

[manic rune]

you

you actually summed up how i feel about them as well 😭

[turbid maple]

john "john smods" smods

[primal shoal]

I LOVE tech surport cause i do it all the time

[limber blaze]

i think i might have already posted this

[neat plover]

i like socializing with anyone that doesnt call me an overanticipated lost and absolutely traumatized eggplant found in the woods, so i like this server

[modern kindle]

theyre too freakin smart

[frosty dock]

apparently i do to some extent

else why would i be doing it haha

[zealous glen]

That’s extremely specific

[turbid maple]

I love doing tech support when I just tell people to read the manual

[manic rune]

they naturally dont seem down to earth, if you ask me 💔

[modern kindle]

'read the docs' headass

[neat plover]

the council of the mods

[neat plover]

arrrgghhh

[primal shoal]

then they hit you with the "but i don't understand it"

[zealous glen]

aure seems very down to earth

[tepid crow]

41k messages jeez

[modern kindle]

aure is neat but just feels miles above me so i cant talk to him until im smarter

[limber blaze]

a lot of people just want you personally to explain it rather than them reading but i love reading manuals and stuff

[open aspen]

(how do i get a card in my hand to pass to this function)

[manic rune]

i havent got to talk with aure for a long time yet, but i still feel a sense of intimidation whenever i talk to him

[limber blaze]

i hate having to learn things through videos and stuff unless i really have to

[manic rune]

simply because hes just that good 😭

[modern kindle]

lars is also cool

[manic rune]

like, im INFERIOR compared to him

[limber blaze]

see this is why im a narcissist

[turbid maple]

video tutorials are the bane of my existence

[frosty dock]

😭

[limber blaze]

dont get intimidated by anyone even when they are better than me

[thin anchor]

you have no idea how much i hate this joker
you have no idea how much pain i had to suffer through

[modern kindle]

ur scary mr smods

[tepid crow]

you guys will feel a lot more comfortable talking to aure after seeing some of the smods "oopsies" lmfao

[brazen tusk]

what would i use to check for the amount of a card played?

[zealous glen]

To be fair I think it’s common to prefer to talk to people than reading. I think in terms of explaining things to people it’s difficult when they refuse to try to read even if the manual is more accurate

[manic rune]

#G.play.cards

[frosty dock]

it sure is annoying but I try to bring the patience for it 😭

[neat plover]

its like, wtf im just a randm dude in a server with super nice nerds while im here just FUCKING ASKING HOW TO CHANGE THE SPLASH SCREEN

i need to sleep

[modern kindle]

whats funny is aure is almost a decade younger than me and i still just dont want to bother the guy

[primal shoal]

amount of cards played?

[brazen tusk]

of a specific rank

[limber blaze]

i just love reading and doing things for myself rather than having to have another person involved even in video format

a lot of people and videos just do things too slowly also

[neat plover]

thats called "i n t e l l i g e n c e"

[thin anchor]

a randomdude you say (wink wink)

[frosty dock]

introducing https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/issues/561

[limber blaze]

looking up videos on how to do 1 hyperspecific thing always treats me as if im a child who knows absolutely nothing about doing anything its really annoying

[turbid maple]

REAL

[zealous glen]

Or if you’re older than him

[primal shoal]

loop through "G.play.cards" and check rank with :get_id() and suit with is_suit() == [suit]

[modern kindle]

this sequence of events is insane

[frosty dock]

I mean a lot of people here are older than me

[limber blaze]

i just personally have come to accept that some people will always be better at some things than me even if i hate it and want to always beat everyone

[open aspen]

bruh...

[tepid crow]

like half the chat is older than aure lmao

[neat plover]

do not get me started on this

[limber blaze]

im older than aure

[zealous glen]

I mean I think it’s natural to not want to bother people

[modern kindle]

im 27 and aure is listed as 19 and im not that comfortable lmfao

[open aspen]

why is this not working 😭

[modern kindle]

ye thats fair

[open aspen]

why is it returning nil

[frosty dock]

that's actually just discord timestamps rounding up

[primal shoal]

im 19 aswell

[zealous glen]

Not 18 IIRC

[frosty dock]

I'm 18

[manic rune]

...oh, i think im the youngest here

:3

[high eagle]

i still cant tell whats wrong here

[modern kindle]

you freakin liar

[thin anchor]

what did you have to suffer through

[limber blaze]

im 19, 20 in december

[zealous glen]

I had noticed aure’s bio changed and wished them happy birthday

[neat plover]

oh no this is dangerous territory

[turbid maple]

off by one error

[twilit cargo]

we figured out dynatext freedom!!!!

[limber blaze]

discord is rounding the amount of years incorrectly

[chrome widget]

I actually had a very similar error yesterday. What are you doing?

[modern kindle]

gonna explode

[modern kindle]

oh hey im december child as well, dec 20 here

[frosty dock]

i don't have a better solution that isn't manually changing it each year

[high eagle]

trying to load my collection of my jokers

[humble girder]

children everywhere :v

[manic rune]

they were studying computer science in their mom's womb, so i think we should give them one year as credit

[twilit cargo]

gotta mess with it one more time actually im not free

[frosty dock]

the timestamp includes the day if you hover on it, so that would give it away

[zealous glen]

Me calculating my age:

[modern kindle]

shit fair enough

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/calculating-puzzled-math-confused-confused-look-gif-14677181

[manic rune]

i dont think its fair getting a head start that early, aure

[limber blaze]

ive been interested in programming for like as long as ive had sentience im just not dedicated enough to learn or practice a lot of things like shaders and visual effects and stuff which is what i suck the most at

[chrome widget]

If it matters, it might have something to do with how atlases are loaded between vanilla and modded jokers. Vanilla jokers don't have an atlas by default. When set_sprites() is called, it manually sets the atlas for Jokers on them, so they have nil before them

[frosty dock]

lol tbf i was doing university-level math next to school at 15 so I can see where the head start argument is coming from

[primal shoal]

im a month older than you

[modern kindle]

its still crazy to think about people born in 06 and later to me
my little brother was born in 08 and he still feels lik an infant to me though hes a teenager now

[manic rune]

😭 can you send me some braincells

[high eagle]

I dont think it does bc i still cant find the problem

[chrome widget]

IMO a lot of savants or heavily successful people in any field had head starts. Talent doesn't exist, but being accommodated and developing a passion towards a specific interest early in life does help a lot to prioritze it within your adult responsibilties later
