[open aspen]

so im just wondering what stuff shouldnt be in the draw function

like tbh the only thing i can think of that can be moved out is the self.sprite = sprite() line

[minor furnace]

state machines are fun 🙃

[open aspen]

but atm moving that to the sticker itself crashes because (i assume here) that it tries to get the custom atlas before it exists

[frosty dock]

typically stickers have a single shared sprite

[thin anchor]

would i add it like this?

[frosty dock]

card.ability.extra instead of self.ability.extra

[open aspen]

where should i define my shared sprite though

[daring fern]

And change G.hand.highlighted[1] to the thing you want to copy.

[frosty dock]

smods does this for you https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/4240e45438e1967041f4262f4b0265b67aaf2557/src/game_object.lua#L567

[open aspen]

why does it limit it to :sub(7) 💀

[frosty dock]

uh wrong link

one sec

[open aspen]

no problem

[frosty dock]

that one is stake stickers

which don't include the stake_ prefix

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/4240e45438e1967041f4262f4b0265b67aaf2557/src/game_object.lua#L2802

this is the right one

[open aspen]

omg

wait so card.sticker_sprite gives the sprite?

[frosty dock]

self.sticker_sprite

not card

[keen orbit]

Hey I'm just getting started with modding this game and I was wondering if there are any resources that have the SMODS documentation as well as what needs to be defined to have a joker work and not crash

[open aspen]

ur right but i forgot to change it to card

[minor furnace]

what's up with this function lmao

[open aspen]

so i got it working and i would have thought it was card.sticker_sprite

because i thought i wrote that 💀

anyways it works

and that fixed all the lag

60 fps

[minor furnace]

this is a real line of code in the real game

[frosty dock]

[maiden river]

does anyone know if you can #include other shaders in the shaders for balatro?

[thin anchor]

err... what?

[maiden river]

you just put card.ability.extra, which is a table

[thin anchor]

oop

[thin anchor]

but

[maiden river]

you gotta read the error 😭

that's still not correct (in this specific instance. you should be using card.ability.extra instead of self... in general)
what's your config table look like?

[thin anchor]

i dont believe ive ever made one

[maiden river]

well, that's a good start 😭

what are you trying to make anyway

[thin anchor]

joker that clones scoring cards for the blind

[maiden river]

I see

i'm surprised there's not an SMODS.copy_card (unless there is and it's undocumented, which would be unsurprising)

[thin anchor]

yeah

[frosty dock]

frankly I don't think it's ever been requested

[thin anchor]

well now is a good time to!
i would like SMODS.copy_card

[maiden river]

that's also fair

[maiden river]

figured this out (maybe)
gonna have to patch smods

[maiden phoenix]

Need a SMODS.just_take_the_ideas_from_my_head_and_put_them_into_the_code

[maiden river]

you just have to pay john smods $2000000 USD

[next timber]

am i crazy or do these look squashed

[maiden river]

they do 😭

[maiden phoenix]

How about $2 and half of a milkshake

[next timber]

ok why are my cards squashed

[maiden river]

what size is the atlas

[maiden phoenix]

Do the sprite size match the atlas?

[next timber]

sprites and atlas are both 63x93

[maiden river]

well those aren't the standard card dimensions 😭

[thin anchor]

use jimbo for reference

[next timber]

ah

[maiden river]

it's 71x95

[next timber]

am i going to have to redo like. 9 cards

[maiden river]

probably

[next timber]

funsies

if i just make it 2 pixels taller and leave the width the same will that be fine?

or does width have to be specific too

[maiden river]

it's specifically 71x95

well, it could also be 69x93

but that's without the extra transparent space

[next timber]

ok so 71x95, with one pixel of transparent space around the edge?

[maiden river]

yeah

[maiden phoenix]

Not exactly

The size is 71x95, but the sprite inside is smaller than a joker card

[maiden river]

huh 😭

[maiden phoenix]

one pixel transparency at the top and bottom, 4 on the left and right

[next timber]

i was gonna say, this feels wayy too wide for a consumable

[maiden river]

oh for a consumable?

I didn't know that 😭

[next timber]

wel yea

hence the custom locked sprite

is it different for consumabes.

[maiden river]

no, everything fits within the 71x95 space

the actual size of the image in that space is different

[next timber]

ok so the only thing i actually have to resize is the canvas? resizing the canvas to 71x95 does leave the 1px vertical and 4px horizontal borders

[maiden river]

ex. vouchers have a lot of whitespace on the sides

[maiden river]

that should be fine

[next timber]

oh thank god

[maiden river]

you can also look at the #1224362333208444989 templates as a reference

[next timber]

so for the px and py arguments in the atlas do i put 71x95 or do i put the size of the actual sprite within the 71x95 canvas

[maiden river]

you put the 71x95

[next timber]

ok

thanks

[maiden river]

did you also make a 2x version

[next timber]

think so yea

[maiden river]

you'll have to resize those too, if you haven't already (but I assume you did)

[next timber]

yep

[maiden river]

big

[next timber]

much better

[wary skiff]

Hi everyone, I've gotten into challenge making, is it possible to make one behave like a regular stake (ex. Black Stake w/ faster scaling and eternal jokers)?

[maiden river]

I'm not sure if that's in base smods

I know aiko did it

@tall wharf mentioning for whenever you show up

[open aspen]

alr im pulling my hair out. how can i get this sticker draw function to draw at the same position on my card regardless of size

[minor furnace]

I solved the transition disabling the UI by simply setting the dummy blind in a different location

[open aspen]

example of the behaviour when in hand vs when in deck view

[chrome widget]

Is there a provided way to visibly space lines of text in a joker description?

I'm having this issue where we have cards that have different "clauses", but I don't really like the way that it looks where the next clause starts with a capital but there's no grammatical separation otherwise

This one is less egregious because the top clause's justification inherently doesn't match the bottom one

This is the one I'm most mixed on

[open aspen]

does an empty line not work?

or even like a line with a space

[chrome widget]

I've had issues with feeding empty lines into text boxes before, so let me try

[open aspen]

even if not empty try putting a space or something

[chrome widget]

A single space does work

[open aspen]

alright so i think if u imagine a grid where 0, 0 is the top left of the card, and 1,1 is the bottom right (in this case i know that 0,0 is actually the top left no matter what your looking at, im just using 1,1 as an example tho).

That works fine in the hand, but I think whats happening is that in the deck view the units of this imaginary grid dont scale down to match the smaller card size. So the tag is now displaying way lower than where it should be

so now uh idk how to fix that

[minor furnace]

Currently sitting here praying that G.GAME.discard currently holds the cards that have either been played or discarded over the course of a round

anybody know if that's what that cardarea does?

[open aspen]

like i assume i can mathematically figure out what 1,1 should be in this new grid

but im a dumb idiot whos forgotten linear algebra

i do know that the scale_mag variable of the card changes between hand and deck view

but weirdly, it increases in deck view (e.g higher values make it render smaller i guess)

[maiden river]

Its just G.discard

[primal shoal]

some joker ideas that came to me

[maiden river]

It's an offscreen cardarea

[minor furnace]

awesome

because I want to shuffle them back into the deck

I think I know how to do this now

[primal shoal]

easier to see in negitive

[thin anchor]

ever glass card give +100 chips

[maiden river]

Oh I did that too

[primal shoal]

i made this in like a minute lol

[thin anchor]

lol

[minor furnace]

I assume I can add them to the deck cardarea, pseudoshuffle, and empty the discard cards

[maiden river]

Oh I misread deck as hand whoops

[primal shoal]

"draw from your graveyard"

[maiden river]

That sounds fine tho

[zealous glen]

I do {s:0.3}

note the

otherwise the line gets automatically removed

[chrome widget]

That works!

[zealous glen]

the {s:0.3} makes the line smaller

[primal shoal]

oh thats sick i might write that a lot

[zealous glen]

also if you want I now have tech to extend the description upon pressing a key

[chrome widget]

How so?

[zealous glen]

It can be on the card itself of course

this example just uses an infobox

[next timber]

Why does this give me the error engine/sprite.lua:11: attempt to index 'atlas' (a nil value)?

wait my 2x spritesheet isnt resized

i thought i did that

[zealous glen]

I think animated sprites don't work with Cards in vanilla

Something is missing

No one bothered to figure out how in a scalable way

Autumn had made a working POC that crashed when "anything touched the card" IIRC

[frosty dock]

i mean this one just crashes because it doesn't know to look for an animation atlas

[zealous glen]

MathIsFun reimplemented animated sprites manually for Cryptid and later Aura

[next timber]

so if i want an animated consumable im going to suffer

[zealous glen]

On the bright side, if you make it work you can PR to SMODS for all of us

[next timber]

i hate patching i hate patching i hate patching i hate patching i hate patching i h

[thin anchor]

how would i give every played card the gold edition?

[zealous glen]

Midas Mask + Pareidolia

[frosty dock]

i should see if i can't make this kind of thing work in steamodded relatively painlessly

by that i mean I'll give up if it's much work

[next timber]

midas mask + pareidolia + vampire is literally my favourite joker combo

its so good

[thin anchor]

[zealous glen]

My suspicion is that the Animated Sprite class is missing some method or property that the Sprite class has

[thin anchor]

seriously though

[zealous glen]

[minor furnace]

yeah it was literally this simple

    G.deck:emplace(v)
end
pseudoshuffle(G.deck.cards, pseudoseed('beast_shuffle'))
G.discard.cards = {}```

[chrome widget]

I have to figure out how to rephrase this to be one line shorter, and it might just involve making the description wider. I try not to make descriptions too wide unless they absolutely need to be, but unfortunately the collection is being annoying

Maybe I could just get away with putting her on the bottom row?

[next timber]

+69 chips if played hand contains multiple cards of the same rank?

oh but no fiveo f a kind

[chrome widget]

Not correct, because it's not an "includes" yeah, it's those specific hands

[minor furnace]

slight issue lmao the cards are permanently debuffed

[zealous glen]

Yes; also aure rewrote the positioning code IIRC

so you could try to tweak that

[zealous glen]

check out Spinagogue Champion from Cosmos but also Eremel mentioned porting a similar patch from Ortalab to SMODS to help do this

[chrome widget]

I'll try the simpler solutions first, I've got two spots on the bottom row and I think I can justify putting her in the leftmost one

[zealous glen]

Good

[frosty dock]

this seems workable

[next timber]

small blind card

[open aspen]

wait how does that work

what is that

[frosty dock]

seems i just have to make the API support it

[next timber]

On scored, immediately be sent to do a small blind. it will not affect your current ante

[frosty dock]

I replaced the card's children.front with an animated sprite

[open aspen]

ooo

[frosty dock]

(and called set_role on it so it actually draws on the card)

[open aspen]

aw man

i was hoping i had a solution to the sticker problem

[young dew]

i've made a tag that is supposed to create a card in shop under certain conditions but for some reason it's considered as triggered when the shop cards are created

local encore = {
    type = 'Switch',
    order = 24,
    key = "encore",
    pos = coordinate(28, 8),
    config = { type = "store_joker_create" },
    min_ante = 1,
    apply = function(self, tag, context)
        print(context.type)
        if context.type == "store_joker_create" and G.GAME.encore_card then -- why is triggered on true????? it didn't even triggered????????
            local card = SMODS.create_card({
                set = G.GAME.encore_card.set,
                area = context.area,
                key = G.GAME.encore_card.key,
                enhancement = G.GAME.encore_card.enhancement,
                seal = G.GAME.encore_card.seal,
                edition = G.GAME.encore_card.edition,
                stickers = G.GAME.encore_card.stickers
            })
            create_shop_card_ui(card, G.GAME.encore_card.set, context.area)
            card.states.visible = false
            G.GAME.encore_card = nil
            tag:yep('+', G.C.BLUE,function()
                card:start_materialize()
                return true
            end)
            tag.triggered = true
            return card
        end
    end
}

[next timber]

does this mean we may be getting animated card api soon?

[zealous glen]

Try using a Tarot on it

[faint yacht]

Gains Chips if played hand is Pair, Three of a Kind, Four of a Kind or for each Joker of a certain type and move the amount mention to the tooltips on the side? Or Gains Chips depending on played hand or Jokers being of a certain type and mention the specific hands on the tooltips.

[modern kindle]

does it duplicate nicely

[frosty dock]

not yet, but that's because i haven't actually made any code changes yet

[modern kindle]

ah gotcha gotcha

[haughty cargo]

would making a CLI/TUI for balatro be interesting? I want a project that I can do, I would probably try writing the CLI part in rust, but I think I would need a way to send the commands to the game (also never coded lua before so would need help with that)

[turbid maple]

well itd surely let me play balatro at work so id appreciate it

[haughty cargo]

is there a way to run the game without rendering it in the window? it would probably be a fairly important part of making it work well (I think)

[gaunt thistle]

rust

[primal shoal]

bit more effort on this one

does it look weird?

[gentle rain]

how exactly does idol logic exclude stone cards

[haughty cargo]

no way its john lovely

[keen tiger]

im also interested in making a "remote" mod but for different reasons

[haughty cargo]

what are you wanting to do?

[forest ivy]

when it's in playing cards deck - yes

[keen tiger]

keeping it a secret rn so my idea isnt sniped

[primal shoal]

just showing it transparent

[gentle rain]

is there any way i could make the idol logic not consider face cards? eg. it would only choose 2-10 and aces

[gaunt thistle]

hi headed branch

[haughty cargo]

hello

[gentle rain]

i also have no clue where idol logic is calculated either and how it excludes stone cards :v

[open aspen]

check vanilla code

[gentle rain]

yeah i am!

cant find it in card.lua or game.lua

[open aspen]

well it fails u sometimes

ill look

[gentle rain]

.>

[open aspen]

G.GAME.current_round.idol_card.rank is what idol rank is

bam

[gentle rain]

oh where is that?

[open aspen]

common_events.lua

[gentle rain]

aaah ty

[open aspen]

ctrl f across all files

[gentle rain]

oh how do you do that

[broken wren]

i have a question. does anyone here know how to modify a baltro game save? i got the plant on a run i was just dicking around in and frankly i would rather just figure out how to add a luchador to my joker slots or like figure out a way to change the boss blind instead of playing it all over again. if not ill cut my losses lol

[maiden river]

I can send some code

Gimme a sec

[gentle rain]

nonono its fine i have the reference i need i think

[open aspen]

ctrl shift f

[maiden river]

Oh alright

[open aspen]

so i looked for idol, i saw that variable G.GAME.current_round.idol_card.rank

then i did ctrl shift f again and searched for G.GAME.current_round.idol_card.rank

its ctrl shift f in vscode at least

[gentle rain]

mmm

so you just have every .lua open?

[open aspen]

i just open the folder in vscode

dont tell me you just go open file explorer and check each file

[gentle rain]

...

i mean most everything i need is in card.lua

[open aspen]

open folder in vscode > the balatro folder

[open aspen]

not everything

[broken wren]

uhhh

yeah i have no idea how to do this

[open aspen]

debugplus mod?

[broken wren]

let me try that

[next timber]

exciting

[broken wren]

ok wow thanks

that worked

[frosty dock]

I'm not exactly sure how to handle front sprites with this tbh, the code with deck skins is a bit of a mess

[unkempt thicket]

carnaval

[frosty dock]

fr

[bold canopy]

So I'm trying to modify Campfire to ditch its reset function on boss blind. Any reason it keeps resetting despite the function not existing here? I've even tried adding context.end_of_round to do nothing and it will still reset. My novice coding skills are likely to blame. Any help is appreciated.

[frosty dock]

any objections to just not including this for now?

[frosty dock]

add if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then return {} end

[edgy reef]

Yeah, just mark it as something to add later in the feature requests or an issue on the repo so it can be remembered.

[frosty dock]

you just need to return something in the context, else it will fall back into vanilla functionality

[minor furnace]

for some reason, this did not un-debuff my cards 🤔

        self.disabled = true
        for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            v:set_debuff(false)
        end
        for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            v:set_debuff(false)
        end
    end,```

[maiden river]

// -- the filter function, defined somewhere else in your code
// -- because it's not in lua by default
function filter(tbl, func)
  local newtable = {}
  for i = 1, #tbl do
      if func(tbl[i]) then
          newtable[#newtable+1] = tbl[i]
      end
  end
  return newtable
end
// -- in your calculate function
if context.end_of_round and not context.game_over then
  local deck_cards = filter(G.deck.cards, function (_card)
      return not SMODS.has_no_rank(_card) // check for no-rank cards (i.e. stone)
  end)
  deck_cards = filter(deck_cards, function (_card)
      return not _card:is_face() // check for non_face cards
  end)
  local card = pseudorandom_element(deck_cards, pseudoseed("idol"))
  -- store the card somewhere here
end

my insane concept
I'm not too strong on lua 😭

[bold canopy]

That's what I figured and I had tried unsuccessfully, but that did the trick. Thank you!

[frosty dock]

works with backs too but it crashes galdur

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/583 made it into a pr for now

[wintry solar]

Fixing animated sprites!?

[long sun]

hihi, another question — is there a way of getting a Joker to send a message during context.destroy_card, while a bunch of cards are being destroyed?

aha wait lemme try something with config

yep, got it :D

[primal shoal]

ooh i joker idea
Bit crushed
all sounds releted to the joker are bit crushed
copys the one left to it left
and is animated so it looks like it changing bits every so often

[long sun]

is there a way to get a list of all active Planet cards?

[keen tiger]

Excluding the sound thing: Bitcrushed Joker (Uncommon) - Copies the ability of $RAND Joker, but with half the chip/mult. Joker copied changes each round

[long sun]

i'd like my Joker to only select Planet X if Five of a Kind has been played, for example

[zealous glen]

I think you can just collect the hands that have been played

Or rather iterate over all Planets, and if they have an associated hand see if it has been played

I’ve done something similar for Moody

in my mod

[long sun]

not what i mean

i mean like, the page in Run Info listing all the hand levels — i need my Joker to get a list of their corresponding planets

so that's Pluto - Neptune at the start of a run, and Eris / Planet X / Ceres if their hands have been unlocked

and the reason i'm not hardcoding them is to allow for modded planets to show up

(here's the ability)
Creates a copy of Pluto at the end of the round, Planet card changes every discard (Must have room)

sorry i've been using this channel so much, but i'm horrible at reading other people's code, and that goes for Balatro's source code 😭

[small moon]

G.P_CENTERS has a list of all the planet cards denoted by the object having set = "Planet". They each have a config with a hand_type and an optional softlock key
If the softlock is present the Planet card won't be available until that hand type has been played, and if it's not present it is available. To check if a hand type has been played you can check G.GAME.hands["HAND TYPE"].played > 0

[long sun]

ah that's very useful! thanks :D

oh one more thing, is the ability too weak, in your opinions?

just wondering

[small moon]

Unsure :P
Seems fine

[long sun]

goodgood ^^

[zealous glen]

And I’m saying to do it the other way around

Iterate over Planets and check if their hand has been played

[long sun]

ya i've done that already -w-

[zealous glen]

I’m just clarifying that’s what I had suggested when you said “not what I mean”

[zealous glen]

Random Planets are usually weak. I’m trying to encourage them in my own mod. It depends on yours

[long sun]

ah i see. ya i read that as you misunderstanding the ability ^^

[zealous glen]

[long sun]

ah, but you're encouraged to dig for the planets you want by using discards

[zealous glen]

It’s better than uncontrollable random but still random

And it “costs” discards

[long sun]

mhmhm

i suppose everything in Balatro is sorta random though ^^ /nsrs

will give it a test run, anywho

[weak brook]

is there a mod currently that has implementation of SMODS.DrawStep? Im trying to learn how to use that api

seeing code of it in use helps a lot

[next timber]

how do i make a consumable apply a given edition to a random joker?

[maiden phoenix]

Look up Hex/Ectoplasm's code

[velvet pulsar]

Is there a way to extract balatro's exe/macos equivalent using archiver software other than 7zip? Was hoping to create my own custom texture packs but ran into a roadblock because I'm using a mac, not windows. Apologies if someone's already asked how

[azure pilot]

What do people tend to use Steamodded for? Like, do most use its APIs for game logic, or is it merely used for its debugging/mod-handling capabilities, or other things? Sorry if the question doesn't make sense, still learning

[next timber]

its api stuff

[open aspen]

yall is there any scenario where this will be an invalid index (other than 0 cards in hand which is accounted for)

[open aspen]

the steammodded wiki should explain how to do it on mac iirc

i dont exactly remember how i did it, but u can do it on mac (im on mac) and i remember seeing it on the getting started page i think

[indigo mesa]

this code crashes: attempted to index local 'card' [a nil value], can someone tell me what im doing wrong plz?
calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then return { remove = true } end end end end

[velvet pulsar]

I'll look there—thanks so much!

[sonic cedar]

how would i check if a scoring hand contains a card with a certain enhancement? (and then change said enhancement)

[long sun]

sorry one more question — how do i get the name of a Planet in v.config?

and its planet id? (eg. c_pluto)

[next timber]

oh wow negative Power Cards look awesome

[brazen tusk]

woah those are cool

[main chasm]

v is an undefined value, you need to use

for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand)
  --code
end

[next timber]

come to the dark side. don't listen to the 'Balatro Black' truthers. use #000000. youll get cool negativessss

[indigo mesa]

ohhh thanks :)

[main chasm]

does anyone know how to check if a card is debuffed?

[gentle rain]

how come its indexing a nil value with this table?

[humble girder]

if card.debuff

[brazen tusk]

already with you lmao (i'll prob update it later tho)

[main chasm]

thanks 🙂

[next timber]

oh damn this looks sick

[brazen tusk]

ty!

[long sun]

(bumpbump?)

[next timber]

how are you guys so good at these background textures

[humble girder]

looks like a 3d distorted voronoi tbh

[gentle rain]

says it goes wrong at this line which i KNOW works

[quartz ravine]

goregous!

Hey doods, does SMODs have an easy way to add my own take on a stone card?

[gentle rain]

did you check how vanilla does stone cards

[quartz ravine]

It's like a weird custom ability. Ohhhh, it is basically an enhancement

[quartz ravine]

Can you make sure table exists and isn't nil? are you also sure that card_list has 7 items in it

[next timber]

whoa

[minor furnace]

is there not a set_sprites() option for Blinds?

[quartz ravine]

Actually could you give me a hint, lol

[next timber]

just check vanilla code?

[gentle rain]

this is how card_list is created, it creates a list of every card that isn't k, q, j 10, or stone, then uses that list to create card_list (using 5 of hearts as a fallback if there are no valid cards remaining in the list)

[open aspen]

i almost accidentally deleted my entire mod

[zealous glen]

Use GitHub at least

[open aspen]

i deleted the folder through mod manager by hitting verify files. Thank god my IDE was open and held the changes

[next timber]

thats why we have github

[quartz ravine]

ok, it is an enhancement

[open aspen]

I was planning to get my first thing done properly then push to github

terrible idea

[next timber]

its in the enhancements tab of the collection. vampire can remove it. idk what you expected

[quartz ravine]

It somehow seemed so special, and minerally to me. I guess I am not sure what I expected either lol

[open aspen]

like the blood sweat and tears i put in to make my sticker work was saved by the IDE. So was atlas.lua, main.lua, and metadata.json. sprites and some util functions got wiped but I remade those fast (had backups of sprites)

[quartz ravine]

this is a good reminder that I need to zip my mod and email it to myself again

[next timber]

tbf i only ever push to github when i've entirely completed a feature

so im not the smartest with it either

[humble girder]

i definitely don't commit often enough

[open aspen]

exactly

like my localization file is dead

gone

[quartz ravine]

Yeah, what if someone looks at my old code, I don't know who has that much time but I don't want to share it until I am proud

[open aspen]

thank god i only added one thing so far

i can just go look at the screenie and copy it again

[quartz ravine]

Oh this is neat, I didn't know this existed

h_x_chips, -- Chips multiplier when held in hand during scoring, nil (not defined), 0 or 1 is treated as 1.

[next timber]

i couldn't possibly let someone stumblr upon the github and play an unfinished, possibly broken version of the mod

so instead i risk losing everything

clearly

[humble girder]

i wrote that comment 🙂

[prisma juniper]

hi everyone, i need some help for this piece of code:

            if not context.blueprint then
                
                local repeater = nil
                for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                        repeater = i
                        break
                    end
                end
                
                if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= self then
                    if context.other_card == G.jokers.cards[repeater-1] then
                        
                        return {
                            message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                            repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetition,
                            card = card,
                        }
                    else
                        return nil, true
                    end
                end
            end            
        end,```

i want the joker on the left and right of this one to retrigger, how can I make it work?

[brazen tusk]

If i want to give double the sell value of a joker when its sold, would i have to store it as a seperate value?
currently i think its deleting the data before it can give the money

[humble girder]

joker should still be inspectable when context.selling_card is triggered (context.card)

[open aspen]

alright we are fully back in business all files have been recovered/remade

[next timber]

ayy

[open aspen]

Never making that mistake again

[quartz ravine]

Hey guys, I am looking for a context window I could use to see if a hand was played but my card was held in hand

[brazen tusk]

i've currently got this in but its giving +$0 even despite the card having a sell value

[toxic rain]

working on the same joker as yesterday, i'm getting attept to index field 'card' (a nil value) error on this code

                }
            end
        end
end
}```

[humble girder]

is this a joker's calculate()? don't use self, use card. i'm surprised this isn't crashing.

[toxic rain]

I've tried looking at how the kidnap card from the cryptid mod works and even copied part of it but it doesn't work

[toxic rain]

seeing at it's under context.selling_self it probably is

[brazen tusk]

ive used self for all of my jokers' calculates and it works 💀

[humble girder]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.selling_self then
        return {
            dollars = card.ability.extra_value
        }
    end
end

self is the center

not the card

the values in self are basically the template for all jokers that appear with that center for the entire runtime of the game, not even reset between runs

i also don't know if you can return dollars in selling_self 🤔

[azure pilot]

Wtf is a center anyway, whats the name supposed to mean

[indigo mesa]

why does this crash? 745:'{' expected [to close '}' at line 744] near '='

        if context.cardarea == G.play and not context.repetition then
            for _, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then
                    return {
                        card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain
                        remove = true
                    }
                end
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
            end
        end
    end```

[humble girder]

looks like effects on selling_self eval are triggered so it should be giving correct amounts of dollars

[humble girder]

card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain no comma at end of line

but wait

also

wtf

is that line in a table

[brazen tusk]

put it outside the return i think?

[humble girder]

card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain why is this in your table

[brazen tusk]

so its basically messing with a global value that all my jokers are tapping into?

[indigo mesa]

i initially put it outside, but the code didn't work so i tried putting inside to test if it did somth LMAO

[humble girder]

if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_stone") then
    card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain
    return {
        remove = true
    }
end```

[indigo mesa]

okay ty :)

[humble girder]

something at some point went very wrong in all your code

self.ability is not supposed to exist

self.ability.extra_value is supposed to crash

[indigo mesa]

i was messing around w it a lot yeah, i been coding this mod for about 5 hours and i think im starting to lose sanity

[humble girder]

not yours

[indigo mesa]

ohh ty

i went thru

3 completely different calculates

im going insane

[sonic cedar]

How would I unenhance a card?

[next timber]

im pretty sure literally the last thing left to do before i can release the first version of my mod is add booster packs

[humble girder]

card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base)

[sonic cedar]

thanks ^^

[humble girder]

(vampire joker code for reference)

[long sun]

printing #G.P_CENTERS is yielding 0, is there a reason why?

[brazen tusk]

i looked at another mod to get an idea of how things worked, this is a whole joker

[long sun]

is it because it's a table?

[humble girder]

it's a table with no numeric keys, so it has no length

[sonic cedar]

is there a version of this that applies to the deck instead of just a card?

[humble girder]

#x is just the highest consecutive numeric index starting to 1 that is available in the table

[long sun]

ah icicic

so i need to use ipairs then

gotcha

thanks :D

i'm starting to pick this whole Lua thing up ^^

[humble girder]

for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
end```

[sonic cedar]

i seeeee thanks

muhahaha

[humble girder]

what is loc_def i don't think this is a thing? is this legacy? aure?

why does calculate(self, context) even work

what is your steamodded version 🤨

[brazen tusk]

i downloaded it like 2 days ago

ive got up to date mods running and stuff

[toxic rain]

hey uhhh quick question how do you check the name of a diffrent joker?

[chrome widget]

So the docs page for SMODS.Sticker is not super obvious to me, is there anything that should actually be minded in terms of what stickers can and cannot overlap each other (assuming modded content from other creators). With vanilla, I absolutely know that Perishable and Eternal cannot coexist, but Rental can coexist with either, but does anything specify that in SMODS? The vanilla game seems to allow you to put both Perishable and Eternal on a joker via debug, but they visually squash each other and you're not supposed to do that

[humble girder]

i wonder if we just happened upon a lua oddity

i'll just stick to what i know you should be doing

[toxic rain]

i've tried this context.card.ability.name == "Sly Joker" like how it was done in the cryptid mod but it crashes the game, then i tried this context.other_joker.config.center.ability == "Sly Joker" but it doesn't do anything

[long sun]

hmm, nothing was logged with this code, so i'm guessing G.P_CENTERS is nil or empty:

for k, v in ipairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        print(v)
      end```

[chrome widget]

it's card.config.center.name btw

[humble girder]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 3 then
        if pseudorandom('stability') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {
                x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
                card = card,
            }
        end
    end
end,

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {vars = {
        card.ability.extra.x_mult,
        card.ability.extra.odds,
        G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1,
    }}
end

[toxic rain]

ok, ill give it a shot

[chrome widget]

card being whatever your card reference is. Could be context.card or context.other_card depending on the situation

[toxic rain]

thanks

[brazen tusk]

tysm! i'll try understand this and apply it to the rest of my stuff

[toxic rain]

well the joker is still not working but idk if that's the issue or something else

[humble girder]

i'd assume whatever mod you looked at for examples is horribly outdated btw

[zealous glen]

Nothing built-in for now. There were some take about reworking how Sticker sprites render but nothing implemented

[chrome widget]

Hmm...

Troubling

I'll just implement the vanilla-mindful one for now

[sonic cedar]

went to go test my joker out. tried cycling through editions on a playing card with debug plus and my game crashed?

[humble girder]

stickers are implemented as a transparent overlay sprite, the position of the sticker badge is fixed (it's literally a 71x95 atlas as usual)

[gentle rain]

can someone explain to me how the pair() function works when looking through the deck (G.playing_cards)

idont understand the function at all

[humble girder]

thunk placed eternal and perishable in the same position in the literal atlas assuming correctly that the two can't happen at the same time in vanilla

[long sun]

am i missing something? why is this empty / nil?

[chrome widget]

pairs() is an iterator function in lua that returns key/value pairs in a given table

[humble girder]

again, ipairs() like # works with numeric indices

[sonic cedar]

ipairs is a-- yeah

[gentle rain]

i have the lua reference manual pulled up i just

need it in leymans terms i think

[toxic rain]

for context this is what the code looks like ```calculate = function(self, card, context)

    if context.other_joker  then
        if  card ~= context.other_joker and card.config.center.name == "Sly Joker" then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    context.other_joker:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
                    return true
                end
            })) 
            return {
                message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_mult", vars = { card.ability.extra.mult }}),
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

end
}```
not sure what part is messing it up

[humble girder]

if #table == 0 then ipairs() will not iterate any element

[long sun]

ahhh right gotcha

pairs, then? ^^"

[humble girder]

iterate with pairs() if you want to go through every key

[long sun]

awesome, thanks :D

[chrome widget]

It's used in a for loop

    -- do something
    -- k is the key
    -- v is the value
end```

Similarly, `ipairs` is for integer indexed array tables, so you use it when you expect array tables
```for i, v in ipairs(table) do
    -- i is the index (1, 2, 3, 4...)
    -- v is the value
end```

[humble girder]

integer indexed is incomplete

[zealous glen]

Keep in mind if the array table is missing an index your behaviour won’t be as intended

[gentle rain]

riiight

[sonic cedar]

I SEE IT OK SO
i made an Ace negative, which caused the deck to draw a card because now i have room for an extra. which crashes my game. is that a game thing or a me thing?

[gentle rain]

is anything wrong with this then

[long sun]

AHAHAAAAAAAAA IT WORKS :DDDDDD

TYSM ^^

very happy with this :D

[humble girder]

it will only go from 1 through N where N is the last consecutive index in your array:

local _t = {[1] = 'one', [2] = 'two', [4] = 'four'}
for i, v in ipairs(_t) do
   print(''.. i .. ' = ' .. v)
   -- 1 = one
   -- 2 = two
end

[toxic flicker]

yo guys can someone tell me all the quality of life mods for making a mod and all the useful stuff like that? cuz i have debug plus and thats about it and idk how to do things like auto unlock cards and give myself certain cards and stuff

[long sun]

i need to check my logic, but woooooo!!

[humble girder]

all you need is debugplus

[quartz ravine]

good explaination, this is what I needed because I was missing my C# foreach (var x in collection) type loops

[quartz ravine]

hold tab to see what DebugPlus can do for you

[toxic flicker]

word

[pale venture]

I truly wonder what compelled me into spending two hours to learn how cryptid does extra soul layers to make this.

[toxic flicker]

ight thanks yall 👍

[limber warren]

hi there, im relatively new to modding balatro and it's been fun so far!
im having an issue with trying to implement removing the stone card effect and giving the played card an edition. it looks funky.

[sonic cedar]

update: it's a me thing. i THINK it may be due to THIS context setup?

[quartz ravine]

I am trying to make a stone lke care that becomes more powerful if you hold it and play other cards.

It shoudl be increasing when not played, but I am not hitting the context window, anyone see the issue here?

calculate = function(self, card, context, ret)
      if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.individual then
          sendInfoMessage("I am being held")
          card.ability.extra.h_x_chips =  card.ability.extra.h_x_chips + card.ability.extra.chipsRate
              return {
                  h_x_chips = card.ability.extra.h_x_chips
              }
          end
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
        sendInfoMessage("I am being played")

                        return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.h_x_chips
            }            
        end

[limber warren]

-- Remove stone and apply edition
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            if context.before then
                if context.scoring_hand[1].ability.name == 'Stone Card' then

                    
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                           
                            local card = context.scoring_hand[1]
                            card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, nil, true)
                            card:juice_up()

                            delay(0.3)
                            return true
                        end
                    }))

                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            local card = context.scoring_hand[1]
                            local geode_transform = poll_edition('aura', nil, true, true)
                            card:set_edition(geode_transform, 0.5)

                            delay(0.3)
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
        end

im trying to use events to make it play one at a time but i cant get it working

does anyone know how to delay removing the stone and applying an edition?

[quartz ravine]

oh, you should just add a flip step first, first juice and flip, then enchant, then flip back around

[limber warren]

huh, didnt know about flips. ill try that out, thank you!

[quartz ravine]

It's what tarots and everything else do when changing a card

So I am definitely hitting my 'I am being played', but I am not hitting the 'I am being held' for my enhancement

[limber warren]

i kind of wanted the effect to be like vampire where it shakes and just instantly removes the effect

[limber warren]

maybe try evaluating the card or try to get the card context

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Joker-Calculation

theres a list of contexts that ive been using thats helpful

[tall wharf]

need a bit of patching lol

[sonic cedar]

if context.hand_drawn then
            for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_base)
            end
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["j_hpfx_ijiraq"])
                    play_sound("card1")
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
        end```
how do i fix it crashing every time it tries to trigger?

[humble girder]

crash log?

[humble girder]

oh lmao

G.P_CENTERS.m_base

it's c_base

not m_base

[sonic cedar]

oh lmao

[quartz ravine]

That guide on context was amazing

[sonic cedar]

it’s so good

[long sun]

sorryyyyyy one more question

[quartz ravine]

I wrote 30+ jokers and five editions without knowing that context page existed

[long sun]

context.discard triggers on every discarded card, but is there a context (which there probably is, there's loads) for just using a discard?

[humble girder]

try context.pre_discard

[sonic cedar]

can i debug a stone card into my deck before a blind

[humble girder]

well, debug it in the small blind and then go into the big blind

[sonic cedar]

oh true lmfao

[humble girder]

(debugging from the view deck page doesn't work as those are actually just copies of cards in your deck, not the real thing)

[sonic cedar]

(i know unfortunately)

[brazen tusk]

These are displaying nil, not sure what i'm doing wrong here?

probably smth more i have to put in after fixing it to card.ability

[frosty dock]

looks like your config is inside your loc_txt?

and whatever comes after it too

[tall wharf]

do you have loc vars

[brazen tusk]

theres probably so much i have wrong 💀

i did have it all working but was advised to change it bc it was outdated

[tall wharf]

wait wtf

[brazen tusk]

its in my main lua

[umbral zodiac]

is there a guide anywhere on how i could add gui/text elements (specifically trying to add text below the blind req on boss blinds only, somewhere like shown in the ss)

[fervent thicket]

Is there a way to change the requirement for a blind after it is selected?

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.blind.chips

[zealous glen]

Check out Bunco or my mod

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1343670935122870342

[tall wharf]

and also G.GAME.blind.chip_text

[sonic cedar]

man i sure love my stone deck

[fervent thicket]

Oh, that's probably why. So I just set that to the new chip amount?

[tall wharf]

i think you'll need like a function to format it

[fervent thicket]

if(context.setting_blind) then
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function ()
          G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips * card.ability.extra.xchips
          return true
        end
      }))
    end

This is what I currently have.

[tall wharf]

where did you call SMODS.Joker

[brazen tusk]

what im hearing is i need to remake this from the ground up 💀
imma go look at some different mods for reference

[feral jay]

how would i make a deck that gives you a joker/consumable when you start

wait nvm i have it already i just made a mistake

[tall wharf]

💀💀💀

[feral jay]

wrong again! not the right mistake
anyway how would i do this

[frosty dock]

you can just put jokers and consumeables in the deck's config, each as a table of keys (including prefixes)

[feral jay]

oh cool

wait like create_card(... key = 'j_ses_sanctuary') or just 'j_ses_sanctuary'

[frosty dock]

Just the key

[feral jay]

okok ty

[next timber]

im kinda confused, how do you make booster packs give cards of a custom consumable type? anything i try to do gives me the error attempt to index local 'center' (a string value)??

[frosty dock]

what do you have so far

[gleaming zealot]

batro

[frosty dock]

well loc_txt shouldn't just be a string

but also to tell the booster pack what cards to spawn, you need to give it a create_card function

[next timber]

and what am i sposed to put in that function

[frosty dock]

have you read the docs on boosters?

[warped marsh]

The real question is aure can we see more of your kitty cat

[next timber]

im reading it and maybe its just bc its late but i dont really understand what exactly im meant to put in the function

do i need to create the card myself? then whats the card argument for

[frosty dock]

you can either return a card or something to be passed into SMODS.create_card

[wary skiff]

What would that entail?

[frosty dock]

so returning something like { set = 'YourType', key_append = 'some_random_seed' } is perfectly valid

where YourType is the key of your consumable type and key_append is just some randomness value used to make the queue of cards unique and not impact other RNG

[next timber]

i see i see

ok no error thats good

ok going to the collection and trying to debug unlock the booster gave an error

[turbid maple]

I had something like that I can show you an example when I'm home

[umbral zodiac]

alright

[next timber]

i think i didnt give enough loc_txt

[turbid maple]

for now you can check out functions/UI_definitions.lua and look for something about boss blinds and HUDs though

you can hook/patch that and add your UI nodes to it I forget the exact name of the function

[umbral zodiac]

mm alright

ty

[next timber]

wrong image

ayy

ayy

now to see if it actually works

????

the particles are going crazy

and also the error text

[lethal ridge]

Hello

Can anyone teach me how to use drawstep to make extra soul pos layer

I tried all night

Looking at documentation and source code

But it doesn't tell me anything

[narrow iron]

card.ability is just the cards config value right?

[gentle rain]

skimming thru card.lua that seems true yeah

hoooow would i implement it so that when a rank that is one of the variables listed in this table of values, it removes the first variable sharing a rank within the table?

[hushed field]

in context.individual, you'd just iterate over that table and remove it if the rank matches, no? Then break the loop?

[gentle rain]

OH true!!

[hushed field]

oh wait, discared. Same thing, different context, haha

[gentle rain]

aaa i forgot about iterating over the table ty

[feral jay]

how would i change the edition of a created tarot via joker calculate()? i tried just context.card.edition but that's not a thing apparently

[chrome widget]

Does anyone know the most effective way to reset a joker's scale/position values to its default?

[manic rune]

edition of a tarot?

[feral jay]

yeah, i just want to make it negative

[native zinc]

assumedly like negative

yeah

[manic rune]

oh

look at how perkeo does it for the planet cards, i suppose

theres an example for that in example mods

[feral jay]

perkeo creates the planets itself though, i'm trying to modify a created one from a separate source

[manic rune]

save the x pos and y pos to config, probably

[chrome widget]

I'm having a Spectral that replaces a joker with one of a similar rarity, so for example if a Wee Joker becomes a different joker, I'm having trouble making sure it resets from being small

Thus I have small boney

[manic rune]

really? i thought it creates the card then turns it negative, hm

[feral jay]

oh yeah you're right

i guess just card:set_edition then?

yeah that worked cool

[next timber]

does anyone know whats up with the particles? also the error text lol but im very very confused by the unending swarm of particles

[manic rune]

wait wait i think i might know this one

[next timber]

you have the floor

[manic rune]

crap, the lightning fucked up the wifi

uh

[next timber]

lol

[umbral zodiac]

does anyone know how you use dynatext i feel like this might be useful to me

[manic rune]

do u have skip_materialize?

[next timber]

i do not

[manic rune]

yeah, add that

i think that solved the issue for me

[next timber]

and do you know how to fix the ERROR text by any chance?

[manic rune]

smt in here

i took a ss of the solution

[next timber]

this looks like stuff for localisation files which i. do not use because i cant be bothered

lol

[manic rune]

oh, oof

i dunno then 💔

[minor magnet]

i have a stamp that does the same, you need to store the rarity in a variable, destroy the joker, and then create a new one of the same rarity

[narrow iron]

are there any examples for recreating the wheels "nope!" effect?

[next timber]

if you're in a context just return {"message" = "Nope!"}

[gentle rain]

how would i get it to terminate after updating the table? [ignore the blackened out bit, wip condition for when all ranks removed]

[hushed field]

break

[gentle rain]

oki

[maiden river]

you have to add skip_materialize = true to create_card (or your return table, whichever you're using)

[next timber]

yeah ive figured that out now

still dunno how to fix the error text tho

[maiden river]

it's in the docs

[next timber]

i have a group_name though

[maiden river]

what does your code look like

[next timber]

tried as both a string and a table

[maiden river]

interesting

I use group_key instead (because I'm a localization file fiend) but it should be working

[hushed field]

I think there is a specific localization entry you wanna do for that pop up text, but I don't know how to set that up when you define loc_txt in file, instead of using a localization file

[maiden river]

(you should use localization files anyway they're better)

[gentle rain]

how would i write a trigger that activates when a card's id is equal to an id in a given table? currently trying if context.discard and not context.blueprint and context.other_card:get_id() == table.concat(card.ability.extra.ranks, ' or ', 1, #card.ability.extra.ranks) then but nothings happening

[next timber]

i cant be bothered to use a loc file, besides my mod is literally so small it doesnt have any jokers

[maiden river]

if context.discard and not context.blueprint and context.other_card:get_id() == (card.ability.extra.ranks or 1)

[hushed field]

I think the text that pops up when opening packs are misc.dictionary entries. No clue how you'd set that up this way though

[maiden river]

is ranks a table?

[hushed field]

Also, localization files are barely any effort, haha

[maiden river]

kid named dump_loc

[next timber]

what is dump_loc

[gentle rain]

wouldn't that not work because a card's id can't be equal to a whole table?

i tried that same thing earlier in a pairs function and it did not properly work

[maiden river]

something you can put in your mod metadata to automatically generate a localization file from your existing code

[next timber]

handy

[maiden river]

that's why I was asking if ranks was a table

[gentle rain]

oh it is yeah

[maiden river]

yeah I wish I knew that before I did it all by hand

[maiden river]

on 21 jokers, 43 consumables, and an assload of decks and other misc text

[maiden river]

in that case, you can just use if context.discard and not context.blueprint and inside of that, loop through each rank in the table and check the card's id against that

[gentle rain]

oh ofc right

[next timber]

ok i will figure out localisation files tomorrow after i have sleped

[maiden river]

I do recommend using dump_loc, since it gets everything

[gentle rain]

:264: attempt to indec local 'v' [a number value]
is it crashing because v is used elsewhere in the calculate function under a different ipairs function?

[maiden river]

no that should be fine

what does the ranks table look like?

[gentle rain]

hm

actually i should check how ranks is defined

[maiden river]

because realistically, instead of storing anything complex you can just store a number

[gentle rain]

oh yeah im misunderstanding my own code hard lmao ranks is how many values are left in the table

[maiden river]

that's all the ranks are (in the base game, anyway)

[maiden river]

also it'd be table.remove(card.ability.extra.ranks, i), not v

[minor furnace]

for my multi-stage boss blind, do I bother trying to make Mr. Bones only carry you to the next wave instead of clearing the whole thing?

[thin anchor]

how would i give an edition to all scored cards?

[raw geyser]

I'm trying to get the floating sprite and the base sprite of a joker to line up for an effect, but they're offset slightly. Anyone know why?

[narrow iron]

shouldnt this apply negative to the first highlighted card?

G.hand.highlighted[1]:set_edition(e_negative, true, false)

[pulsar flower]

i think you want 'e_negative' as a string

or {negative = true}

[narrow iron]

yep it needed to be a string

[manic rune]

sushang :3

[thin anchor]

question mark

[gentle rain]

cardsauce has several jokers that apply editions to scored cards, use that as a reference

[thin anchor]

ah

[turbid maple]

did you figure this out or do you still want the example

[gentle rain]

for some reason, the presence of a return function here is considered bad syntax

[umbral zodiac]

i would like the example i didnt get much progress

[gentle rain]

always works perfectly fine wo it

[umbral zodiac]

i was going to try dynatext but got sidetracked

[thin anchor]

r

[gentle rain]

?

[turbid maple]

local _create_UIBox_HUD_blind = create_UIBox_HUD_blind

                },
            },
        },
    }
    return ret
end

Here's an example that uses dynatext

[umbral zodiac]

oh im so silly in the brain

[brazen tusk]

do you need the break in there?

[umbral zodiac]

i was looking for things that had blind and then hud not hud and then blind

[turbid maple]

this does this which obviously needs to be tweaked but you get the point

[gentle rain]

yeah, it ends the function that searches for and removes an item from the list

[umbral zodiac]

ty

[thin anchor]

Cards played previously this Ante are debuffed

[brazen tusk]

i think you need to put it outside the if

put it under the break thats under it and see what/if error it gives

[turbid maple]

sorry i didn't hear that could you say that again please

[gentle rain]

i tried before i asked in here initially and a bunch of different placements have similar errors

[limber warren]

im running into an issue where the stone layer seems to want to stay despite the fact that set_ability is making it a different enhancement. like it has the number / symbol sprite but the stone is above everything else

[thin anchor]

CARDS PREVIOUSLY PLAYED THIS ANTE ARE DEBUFFED

[limber warren]

what?

my ears dont work the way they used to

[brazen tusk]

does it need a comma after the table.remove line?

[gentle rain]

that did not work no

[thin anchor]

[narrow iron]

i made a custom consumable type and im trying to get the descriptions working, i know the layout is

    [CARD TYPE] = {
    [LETTER]_[PREFIX]_[CARD KEY] = {}
    }
}```

what is the card type actually supposed to be?

and what does the letter mean?

nvm i figured it out

[umbral zodiac]

seems that g.game.blind.chips loads after the gui is made

[gentle rain]

what's with the nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, whenever a card is created

[sonic cedar]

how does steamodded do xmult again?

is it Xmult or XMult

[minor furnace]

x_mult

[sonic cedar]

oh neither got it

[brazen tusk]

im trying to load my jokers into my main lua from a seperate file (using KCVanilla as a reference) but it keeps saying these are returning as nil values

[sonic cedar]

thaaaaaaaaaaank you

[minor furnace]

assert(SMODS.load_file('file_name.lua'))()

[umbral zodiac]

is there any way i could solve this

[narrow iron]

my custom consumables are showing "ERROR" as their card type when in a run but show up just fine when in the collection. whats going on?

[thin anchor]

ta dah!!!

[gentle rain]

i really cant figure out the syntax error here for the life of me auuuugh

[open aspen]

4 dollars for 6 mult is not very good

from a balance perspective

i like the idea of it

[midnight coyote]

hey so i got a really cryptic error

im trying to make a joker

let me pull it up

here's the log

[gentle rain]

the error

[midnight coyote]

bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got string)

[thin anchor]

oops
its mean to say the joker gains +6 mult
so it saves like +6, +12 etc

[open aspen]

send ur joker

[midnight coyote]

alright

one second

its gonna be a screenshot because my copy and paste is fucked rn

well hold up

[open aspen]

yea but ur still paying 4 dollars for 6 mult

[midnight coyote]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "crazy8",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Crazy 8",
        text = "For every {C: attention}8{} Played, grants {X: mult, C: white}#1#{} Mult."
        
    },
    config = { extra = {mult = 4}},
    rarity = 4,
    atlas = 'joker_atlas',
    pos = {x= 0, y= 0},
    cost = 8,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}}
    end, 
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.card_area == G.play then
            
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 8 then
                return {
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'x_mult', vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}},
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.mult,
                    card = context.other_card
                }
            end
        end
    end


} ```

there

i need to adjust some text

but thats not the important art

part**

[open aspen]

message = localize blah

why do all that

[old bane]

does anyone know why the chips, mult, and xmult don't work for editions, but card_limit does? i saw someone else had the same issue so it wasn't just me

[midnight coyote]

its what i saw on the tutorial so i followed it

i thought it was neccessary?

or rather the example

[open aspen]

im almost pretty sure u dont need it if ur returning xmult

also

i return my message like this

[midnight coyote]

im sure theres some glaring issue im forgetting

oh hm

[open aspen]

i dont know if localize is valid for message, it probably is tho so thats fine

like i assume it is

[midnight coyote]

alright

should i try it without and just put some placeholder text there?

[open aspen]

but like anyways one thing i notice is u dont need that

[midnight coyote]

like just comment out the localize

[open aspen]

dont put any text

[midnight coyote]

alright

[open aspen]

just remove message

entirely

comment the whole line

[midnight coyote]

yeah

[open aspen]

it will say x10 mult by default

[midnight coyote]

just did that let me try the game out

[open aspen]

if u return xMult

[midnight coyote]

is there any way to make it launch faster btw

any optimizations, etc

[open aspen]

the load up animation or just loading mods and stuff

[midnight coyote]

just the loading of mods

yeah that didnt fix anything

[open aspen]

ah idk

[midnight coyote]

alr

[open aspen]

thought it might not

[midnight coyote]

eh, worth a shot

my atlas is all in check

[open aspen]

does it

[umbral zodiac]

ok im silly in the brain but i got it to show this, any idea how i can get the 600 as a normal value so i can square it?

[open aspen]

crash when u open the game

[midnight coyote]

it crashes while it's injecting i think

[umbral zodiac]

currently doing this

[open aspen]

i notice

it says file not found main.lua

[midnight coyote]

it gets 99% through with the loading bar then it burns

[open aspen]

at the bottom

[midnight coyote]

that doesnt make sense

let me try to disable some other mod

one sec

[open aspen]

check ur main.lua name and what u have in metadata.json too just to be safe

[midnight coyote]

in lovely?

or where

sorry for so many questions im just unfamiliar to the whole thing

[open aspen]

you should have a json file and a main file for ur lua code

[midnight coyote]

yeah

[open aspen]

mine is like this

main_file is defined as main.lua for me

[midnight coyote]

yeah

[open aspen]

as u can see

check and make sure that its the same

like i assume

it has to be

[midnight coyote]

my main file isnt main.lua but the file name matches up

so its successfully loading the mod filkke

file**

[open aspen]

ur mainfile is what then???

oh

i get u

nvm

like its some other name

[midnight coyote]

i just named it something else

yeah

[open aspen]

ok then at least u know it isnt that

hmm

well its still saying main.lua not found

weird

[midnight coyote]

yeah

could it be main.lua as in the game's file? would it be worth it to validate my game?

and just reinstall lovely?

[open aspen]

to be honest im not sure

ive never seen such an error

someone else may know

[midnight coyote]

im gonna try thast

just take shots ijn the dark

unless someone else has a better idea

[sonic cedar]

so why does this crash my game? does steamodded do it different? do i change self to card maybe?

wait i should get the crash log

[gentle rain]

bump

im bloody lost

[sonic cedar]

line 927 is the local eval part

[midnight coyote]

hmm

let me comment out all that joker code and see if its a 'my code' problem

[manic rune]

change self to card, probably

[midnight coyote]

or a something else problem

[manic rune]

never used juice_card_until before so idk :3

[sonic cedar]

if its that easy

[midnight coyote]

@open aspen there's for sure something fucked about that joker code

just commented it out and the game works

[gentle rain]

is there like a limit as to how much code can be under smods.joker or some shit

im so lost

[manic rune]

shouldn't be

whats the crash log?

[gentle rain]

says it crashes at line 284 for an unexpected symbol near }

which is the last line

[gaunt thistle]

oh hey that's the exact error I've been fighting

[gentle rain]

oh no shit

[gaunt thistle]

but in lovely within the gamepass binary haha

[gentle rain]

blegh do u have a solve

[gaunt thistle]

my solution was to make sure I wasn't thrashing byte buffers when working with luajit state

[sonic cedar]

alr so it does the juice up animation but it doesn’t proc the mult gain

gonna see if my transformation block is doing something iffy to it

[gentle rain]

ssorry what

[gentle rain]

solution is to "stop thrashing"....... you cant take away my metal liberals!!!!!!!!!!!! cool skeleton flipping off camera png

[warped marsh]

meow

[gentle rain]

so like. is the error that theres too much data in a function or

[manic rune]

never send that again.

[gentle rain]

BLAAUUAGAAH

[warped marsh]

BOOM

[gentle rain]

FUCK!!! I HATE IT!!!!!

[manic rune]

oh wow

it looks so fluffy :3

[sonic cedar]

why did my game super crash on opening

[manic rune]

i want to hug that carr

[gaunt thistle]

what's a cat

[manic rune]

wet carr

[warped marsh]

He loves hugs

[open aspen]

gotta figure out by trial and error ig

[sonic cedar]

like the game closed

would anyone be willing to help me out with an error im running into?

is this about me

its a different one this time lol

[gentle rain]

felt

[gentle rain]

this too has been felt

[gaunt thistle]

hell yeah

[feral jay]

how would i make a custom calculate trigger? i.e. use some consumable, that consumable has a chance to do something which triggers the calculate

[limber warren]

im reading thru previous issues with this and i think i need to run this inside the joker file

for some reason there was a msg that said it shouldnt

let me test this

[toxic flicker]

so yall how do i get the amount of money the player has

[sonic cedar]

ok pal

oh it's

it's stuck like this i cant get in

(i fixed it and got the joker working thanks for the help)

[humble dagger]

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

[sonic cedar]

is a bad allocation crash concerning?

[sonic cedar]

patching i believe ??

[hardy viper]

whats the exact error

[hardy viper]

prolly just out of memor y

[sonic cedar]

im restarting this damn computer atp 😭

im sorry girl ive been working you too hard

[hardy viper]

if its been on awhile ur memory might just be super fragmented

[sonic cedar]

teach me the tech wise one

[hardy viper]

which seems likely considering it was an error in the graphics library which (unless i fundamentally misunderstand dynamic libraries) has been reusing the same memory space for the dawn of whenever you turned on the pc

[sonic cedar]

funny enough

dawn

it’s been like 13 hours good lord 😭

[tall wharf]

sorry

[sonic cedar]

me too

if only ol girl wasn’t an i3,,,,

[feral jay]

i just went digging and now realize i have no idea how calculate function is actually called, how would i just trigger a specific event

[hardy viper]

SMODS.calculate_context

[feral jay]

mmm ok and would that accept a custom event

[hardy viper]

ya pretty sure you can do whatever context you want

you just provide the context table iirc

[feral jay]

ok cool that's handy

[vocal cedar]

any good mods with example tarot cards or spectral cards?

[open aspen]

question

could you simulate seal behaviour with a sticker

[humble dagger]

shoot!

[open aspen]

i think u can

[humble dagger]

omg that is right i never thought of that..

but how do you even code a sticker

[open aspen]

it isnt too too different from something like an enhancement

[rugged pier]

severance balatro mod has some i think

[open aspen]

my code is made significantly more complex because i went through the effort of doing custom draw function

[rugged pier]

hey guys, i just created my first joker and was wondering if i could start a run with that joker to see how it functions and test it, is there like a sandbox environment or something i could use?

[open aspen]

My sticker used to be an enhancement and I just made some relatively minor changes to get it to work as a sticker. I wanted it as a sticker because stickers don't conflict with each other (as in you can have more than 1)

[open aspen]

debugplus

(its a mod)

[rugged pier]

yeah i installed debugplus

[humble dagger]

what is patching

[rugged pier]

but their wiki doesnt have anything related to what im talking about (or maybe im just dumb and cant find it)

[open aspen]

uhh idk all the commands keybinds but u can def use that to spawn it

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/keys.txt

theres a keybind to spawn card here
