canadian language

[hushed field]

I'll use my knowledge of Basque to test whether the localization is actually possible for non-germanic or romance languages. It's the only language I have experience with that's sufficiently different from french or dutch, haha

[zealous glen]

Actually they speak French in French Guyana and European French Guyana

[manic rune]

what would be a cool name for a passive which allows you to play an unlimited number of hands and discards

[zealous glen]

“cool story bro”

[manic rune]

thanks

[zealous glen]

I thought all your names came from Star Rail

[manic rune]

this one isnt

[zealous glen]

I can only think of Ouroboros on the spot

[hushed field]

is this for something that happens in boss blinds? I feel like something like 'awoken' or 'ascended' is probably on theme for star rail

limit break, of course

[manic rune]

oh, true

[tall wharf]

alright

[manic rune]

hm

[tall wharf]

panic over

back to modding

[zealous glen]

The Wheel of Fate Turns

[tall wharf]

how do i make the number ease once

[zealous glen]

Are you ok?

[manic rune]

ok those are all good names

hm

[tall wharf]

if i wasn't i wouldn't go back to modding

[hushed field]

reading your suggestions better, this is currently how I was planning to set it up already. I'm realizing in testing things out that my non-functional pseudocode system would fully allow for any language to be translated, luckily

[tall wharf]

so

SMODS.PokerHand{
    key = "expression",
    chips = 0,
    mult = 0,
    l_chips = 0,

        { "", true, nil, akyrs_letter = "4"},

    },
    evaluate = function(parts, hand)
        if ((not G.GAME.akyrs_character_stickers_enabled) or (not G.GAME.akyrs_mathematics_enabled)) then 
        return {} end
        local word_hand = {}
        table.sort(hand, function(a,b) return a.T.x < b.T.x end)
        for _, v in pairs(hand) do
            if not v.ability then return {} end
            local alpha = v.ability.aikoyori_letters_stickers:lower()
            if alpha == "#" and v.ability.aikoyori_pretend_letter then
                -- if wild is set fr tbh
                alpha = v.ability.aikoyori_pretend_letter:lower()
            elseif alpha == "#" and AKYRS.config.wildcard_behaviour == 3 then -- if it's unset in mode 3 then just make it a random letter i guess
                alpha = '★'
            end
            table.insert(word_hand, alpha)
                
        end
        
        local expression = table.concat(word_hand)
        
        
        local status, value = pcall(AKYRS.MathParser.solve,AKYRS.MathParser,expression)
        if not status then return {} end

        if (G.STATE == G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED) then
            if value ~= value then
                error("Galaxy Collapse!",4)
                return {}
            end
            attention_text({
                scale =  1.5, text = string.upper(value), hold = 15, align = 'tm',
                major = G.play, offset = {x = 0, y = -1}
            })
            G.GAME.aiko_words_played[value] = true
            ease_chips(G.GAME.chips + value)
        end
        return {hand}
    end,
}
``` is there a better approach than this

[zealous glen]

Hecatoncheires were hundred-handed giants from Greek myth

[hushed field]

can also block a hundred creatures in mtg

[zealous glen]

Only if it’s monstrous

[manic rune]

im not using that in my key ngl :3

cool name though

the whole concept for phase 3 is like The Needle but cooler

[zealous glen]

I had had an idea for a Challenge where you start with 50 Hands and 50 Discards and don’t gain any more

[manic rune]

go big for one last hand to beat the boss

[hushed field]

also sorry to tag you again @humble girder but you should plug your mod more because it's got some of my favorite additions from mods like it, and I don't think people are aware 😛

[zealous glen]

Wanna see a custom Akira MTG card?

[zealous glen]

I remember the mod adding… Blind-related… curses?

[humble girder]

i'm really bad at marketing :p

[hard flume]

Hiyall!!!

[tall wharf]

hiii

[hushed field]

they just showed a loot system with optional goals during antes, and there's the whole deal with the devil mechanic. I love mods generally that take the opposite approach of mine and add interesting mechanics more so than adding jokers, and their mod's exactly what I think is cool to see pop up, haha

[zealous glen]

Hello carrot

[spring lantern]

hola

[zealous glen]

Do it like me and just annoyingly send messages here forcing them to remember your mod exists
-# play Victin’s Collection

[hushed field]

haha unless you feel like you're still too much in development, I'll start plugging the mod when people pop up in #⚙・modding-general and asking for recommendations

[crisp coral]

better than me

[zealous glen]

Both of you have other people marketing your mod

[crisp coral]

i'm literally too afraid to plug my own mod because of how bullshit it is

[hushed field]

people may think it's farfa streaming JoyousSpring, but the reason it's doing well is actually me saying 'joyousspring is one of my favorite overhaul mods' whenever people ask for mods, after all

[spring lantern]

hey btw your func for multiplying card values is awesome tysm for sharing but right now it multiplies every value including ones that aren't listed so my cards get Xchips while held in hand and goofy stuff like that LOL

[tall wharf]

im also bad at marketing

[tall wharf]

LMAO

[next timber]

i fixed that, check my github

hang on

[zealous glen]

Baliame has Ice and Myst has… me I guess, sorry Myst

[tall wharf]

aiko you post your mod screenshot like once every 5 seconds 😭

[hard flume]

I have finally decided to completely redo the stuff I have for The Carrot Field so far. I've been debating doing this for a while, and have finally decided to do it.

[next timber]

i copied aiko's function and fixed it up a little

[tall wharf]

hi ren

[tall wharf]

😭

[spring lantern]

firee

[tall wharf]

my mod is not on the mod manager yet

so that is how i market it

[crisp coral]

I have the 110,920 unnamed project moon fans to plug my mod

[hard flume]

Mostly going to focus on redoing Worlds, but also going to focus on redoing the Woman Suit into card genders because... Why not?

[next timber]

anyways i think ive done a good job with the snake suit considering what im working with
(might honestly be more proud of the small icon then the big one lol)

[zealous glen]

That’s true but I was plugging your mod to my Project Moon fan friend having played neither

[zealous glen]

I see 6 snakes

[hushed field]

I've been considering making youtube videos of Kino runs where I balance the content, and also doing some mod showcase videos because I feel like there are so many rad mods but all content is generally about cryptid

[zealous glen]

@manic rune, sorry but Myst revoked your name

[next timber]

by the way this suit exists at the request of a friend specifically so i can reference hit Underworld song King of Snake

[manic rune]

[primal robin]

In case you missed it: Saturn is fixed (by me), you don't need everyday say to remove it, okay?

[crisp coral]

I've made two videos of my blinds for showcasing yet I let the wonders of youtube do the trick

[zealous glen]

Wait you have both “consume” and “flesh cards” ^^

[hushed field]

there's one guy who's playing with a bunch of mods, but he just plays with them and gives no insight in what is from which mod or what makes those mods interesting, and the pack he's constructed is... lacking in any synergy, haha

[crisp coral]

(one is unlisted the other has like 400 views)

[zealous glen]

What do your Flesh cards do?

[hushed field]

i feel like for a niche interest 400 views is entirely fine

[heady siren]

The Flesh consumes

[zealous glen]

My Flesh consumes too

[manic rune]

your apoc bird vid isnt doing very good myst 💔

-# but somehow i managed to watch ALL of your vids

[onyx sonnet]

Omg hi bingbongfever

[hushed field]

Roffle's modded videos do well because it's him, not because people are deeply into those mods, after all. People looking around for content that's focused on the mod are probably rare, and that content's not going to get a lot of views unless by happenstance, I reckon

[heady siren]

I've also got an ace up the sleeve joker that I've somehow never seen in a mod

[manic rune]

BINGBONG

[next timber]

i geuninely cannot get a good enough fps when screen recording to do any videos about my mod

Reworking Worlds into a Biome System instead, Reworking Gendered Suits into a new Gender Modifier because why not.

[zealous glen]

Up Your Sleeve

[hushed field]

I felt like I didn't understand its mechanics properly, honestly

[hushed field]

oooh, what's your set up for a biome system?

[crisp coral]

very is an understatement

[heady siren]

Literally the same thing as mine but they aren't negative, god damnit

[hushed field]

a biome mod is still on my list of things I wanna do once I've got Kino at a place where I'm okay taking a break from it, haha, so I'm curious as to how other people might approach the idea

[zealous glen]

We’re just secretly making the same mod as each other 😭

[heady siren]

I'm adding jokers I've never seen before and it turns out all of them have been done before

[crisp coral]

ooh you have mod ideas outside of Kino?

[crisp coral]

blinds are disabled not debuffed

[manic rune]

.

-# oh yeah

[crisp coral]

i've made this mistake before

[hushed field]

I've been heavily considering taking a break once I've got the quest system and legendary jokers set up, because I keep having ideas for a mod that adds day/night cycles, weather, and biomes to the game, haha

[crisp coral]

the fault lies with me barely touching chicot because it's an ass legendary

[tall wharf]

:3

[manic rune]

there we go :3

[hushed field]

With the idea of setting it up very addition friendly so people could hook their mods into it. But I'm wanting to challenge my game design methods a bit by making things that aren't focused on jokers, mostly

[tall wharf]

where is my mod

[humble girder]

feel free, it's playable but probably has a decent amount of balance issues which can't be uncovered without extensive playtesting

[midnight coyote]

isn’t S scale

[humble girder]

there's also some placeholder art cards still

[manic rune]

its s

not S

[stark geode]

uhhhh

i don't mind but i know a lot of people care about the art of mods probably even more than the mechanics they add

[tall wharf]

A

[crisp coral]

AACRYPTIDAPERKEO

[manic rune]

welp, guess my mod is fucked then :3

[hard flume]

Gonna have to either patch or hook for it, but the main idea is that after each Ante, the player is forced to pick a biome card from a booster that automatically opens. Each Biome Card has its own unique rules, events, and cards you can buy when it's active and you can only have one at a time. After each Ante, you are forced to pick a new biome to travel to, and it will automatically replace your previous Biome Card.
The Rules and Event System will be the most difficult and different from the original implementation of Worlds, the original version of Biomed.

[humble girder]

you're theming it around something which usually matters a lot

[tall wharf]

i want to visit Japan

[crisp coral]

yeahhhh NeatoJokers doesn't add too much content but it's loved because the art is amazing

[manic rune]

theres not a single trace of art in my mod

the closest thing to "art" implemented in my mod is this

[hushed field]

if you're interested, I'm commissionable for $0 to do some medioce pixel art for mods I think are cool 😛

[next timber]

lmao

[primal robin]

Can I take_ownership to cards from other mods?

[midnight coyote]

can i check in an enhancement for when the enhancement gets removed

[marble flint]

yes

[next timber]

im sooooooo excited for the face cards for my custom suit. thats sure is gonna be something

[crisp coral]

my art is just official art downscaled or official art downscaled and traced

and lyman

shoutouts to lyman

[marble flint]

my art is just mostly bad

but it's fun to do

[primal robin]

Is this will override all card function or only added by me?

[red flower]

joyousspring mentioned

[humble girder]

if you would like to contribute art, you're welcome to do so, i definitely wouldn't go as far as to say i commission it
and on that very same note, your mediocre pixel art is probably a lot better than my subpar pixel art lol

[manic rune]

omg wild N' encountered in the wild

.

[red flower]

hi

[midnight coyote]

also can i decrement values in the config area

[humble girder]

i cut a dozen corners on anything that looks decent

[manic rune]

ok i think i need to go refresh my brain, holy shit

[marble flint]

iirc anything you specify overwrites the original, but anything you don't overwrite remains

[humble girder]

probably have some cases of copyright infringement in there or something

[primal robin]

Cool

[tall wharf]

HELLO

[midnight coyote]

because for curses i want to have a ttk value that ticks down

[hushed field]

my art is mostly tracing and shrinking down movie posters, haha, for Kino.

[crisp coral]

tracing and shrinking official art 🤝

[hushed field]

I'll have a look at some point and see if there's any placeholder card that sparks an idea

[humble girder]

oh yeah, let me tell you about all about my method of google image search, shrink, pixellate -> mosaic and some hue/saturation adjustments 😄

[zealous glen]

I’ve done some art for my mod but recently I’ve been too lazy to do it

[midnight coyote]

i might make a ritual card called ‘last stand’ that reduces your hands to one and your discards to 0 but gives you double mult and chips (applied at the end of scoring)

[hushed field]

I still wanna find a card to do art for for Victin as well, but I tried to do a glass jar filled with teeth and that broke me for a while, haha

[red flower]

is this to stack the consumables

[hard flume]

Of course, one of the biomes has to be the titular bitchular. So I'm adding a Carrot Field biome to my mod

[midnight coyote]

not permanently

[zealous glen]

Binary Star staring at me from the corner:

[primal robin]

Yes

[midnight coyote]

only for the blind

[crisp coral]

[manic rune]

i thought that was jsab

[primal robin]

Ha-ha, it's working

[zealous glen]

Should I add to its description that it also “breaks ice”

[humble girder]

heh

[crisp coral]

how does a jar of teeth break ice

[manic rune]

its too hot

[humble girder]

very carefully

[manic rune]

it melts ice

[hushed field]

I do still do some minor text edits, but for some jokers like this one, where there's no textless poster available, that's a fucking nightmare because I can't photoshop so I just have to handpaint areas that were covered by text back in, haha

[red flower]

i hope you don't ever have to do it for the dozen negative consumable jokers there will be in my mod

[zealous glen]

Is that Popeye

[hushed field]

Oh, very similar to how I'd implement it! Excited to see what you cook up for that!

how do i debuff a card.

[zealous glen]

what do people think of Scott Pilgrim Deck Skins (with assets from the game)

[heady siren]

Would be really fucking cool

[tall wharf]

card:debuff(true)?

[red flower]

SMODS.debuff_card

[midnight coyote]

thanks

okay how

do i add a variable to message

[heady siren]

SMODS.debuff_card

[midnight coyote]

i want to make it to where the card displays like

3...

2...

1...

[zealous glen]

I started making them but originally I planned to draw them. Since I noticed I could just copy and edit the existing sprites, I wasn’t sure how to feel about it

[midnight coyote]

as itsplayed

[heady siren]

message = 'blahblah'..variable

[midnight coyote]

other way around if after?

or before

[zealous glen]

Either localize or use tostring

[heady siren]

.. is a built in concatenate operator

You can put .. on any combination of numbers and strings and they'll place nice if they aren't nil

[crisp coral]

hooh another video on my mod yippee

[zealous glen]

I’m still not sure how to evaluate referencing vs tracing vs copying very well

[hushed field]

The contract cards are a very fun concept, and the preview you posted two days ago regarding loot and bonus objectives is a great one. A mechanic I'd love to see even in vanilla balatro honestly. Coupled with the fact that outside the placeholder art, your stuff's got a good polish to it

[zealous glen]

The red text is a bit hard to read

[hushed field]

Also, MTX enhancements, ofc

[crisp coral]

will not change

[hard flume]

One of the ideas I had is adding a fourth type of blind. Mini-Boss Blinds

[crisp coral]

it contrasts better in front of other backgrounds but not this one

but it's also a lobcorp and ruina quirk for red flavor text so no changes there

[humble girder]

yeah contracts are one of those mechanics that feel like are missing from balatro as a roguelike, there's no real mid-run high risk-high reward swings

[red flower]

red text?? i love umineko

[humble girder]

loot was fully inspired by roffle taking every chance to mention how utterly bad it is to skip blinds

[zealous glen]

I was wondering if it could have a low alpha contrasting background

Or an outline

[zealous glen]

I want to rework the Skip mechanic

Out of every choice thunk made, they did put a lot of effort into Skips but they didn’t make them appealing

[crisp coral]

i don't think text supports outline

[hushed field]

the contracts feel less like a good fit for vanilla, I think partially due to theming, but they are a cool addition. But optional goals feels very vanilla, yeah

[crisp coral]

but background is bad, it would obstruct gameplay even more

[zealous glen]

Also small detail: Small Beak’s effect continues to refer to Small Beak even though it’s persistent

[crisp coral]

what

idgi

[hushed field]

And Skips are definitely the biggest miss in vanilla, mechanics-wise. Unless we're counting each joker as a mechanic, it'd be matador in that case

[midnight coyote]

here's what ive got so far

[crisp coral]

it's persistent so it refers to the Passive and not the Blind name

i need to fix hand names not updating

[humble girder]

matador is clunky as all hell but a good blind 1 matador with a good blind is instant economy

[zealous glen]

You’re not playing against Small Beak but you’re still affected by it

[zealous glen]

The difference is that thunk also doesn’t like Matador

[hushed field]

it's a super niche situation for such a specific effect to work, I find. Outside of the mechanics being super unclear as to when it'll trigger

[crisp coral]

No repeating [hands played during Small Beak]

[tall wharf]

😭

[hushed field]

I mean I can see how he'd like skips, I just think there's probably a better implementation of it. Loot's definitely a good alternative

[crisp coral]

not No repeating hands played [during Small Beak]

[zealous glen]

I see

[zealous glen]

How does Loot work

[hushed field]

#1337539818841706587

[humble girder]

you complete bonus objectives during blinds

[heady siren]

Skips would be good if they didn't skip [=

[humble girder]

which adds loot to a limited area (that you can discard from)

which will materialize into a massive booster pack when you skip a blind

so it kind of balances this thing where you can have very strong rewards for certain objectives, which makes you play suboptimally, but to actually get that reward, you must take a skip somewhere, which again, usually a bad idea

[hard flume]

This is so cool... I actually really like this idea. Is this a new type of blind or does it just act as a normal boss blind?

[humble girder]

while not making every skip insanely valuable

[zealous glen]

I see

[crisp coral]

it's a special blind that can only be summoned by having 3 specific jokers

[hard flume]

Oops sorry. Forget to turn off ping

[manic rune]

crunchy green grapes

[crisp coral]

nw

[manic rune]

gotta be the best fruit in the world...

[zealous glen]

Weakest L Corp blind

/j

[humble girder]

that would make taking every skip the optimal play, which is also something that should ideally be avoided

[zealous glen]

My idea is to replace Skips with Raise

[manic rune]

fucking

ANTE 3?????

[zealous glen]

Raising gives you the Blind and the Tag but also a negative effect

[tall wharf]

i call bullshit

personally i would rate my blinds in terms of difficulty as

I was going to do 1 but I felt like 17 was less insulting

[crisp coral]

do it :3

[tall wharf]

😭

how do i even do this

[next timber]

screw it im just gonna copy the hearts face cards for the snake suit

i am not drawing new face cards

[heady siren]

I'm tempted to make a new card suit specifically for the flesh cards so that they're like, melting people [=

[manic rune]

so you are purposely insulting me 💔

[heady siren]

But doing flushes on every hand is too OP I think

Ignore the joker I have that makes every flushable hand a flush hand

[next timber]

oh boy i sure do enjoy the sunlight!
the nefarious When Day Breaks:

[zealous glen]

No, this is literally just a different video game

[zealous glen]

Sorry v_v

[heady siren]

I need art for my jokers but I don't wanna burden anybody with making art for my jokers

[humble girder]

embrace the coder art

[zealous glen]

I don’t think the challenges will be very big

Most should add cards to your deck or change cards in your deck

[humble girder]

two questions

[zealous glen]

Also I remember the Edition Tags from the demo

[humble girder]

does it absolutely break hologram

and will they be too weak and make every skip a nobrainer

[zealous glen]

The cards weren’t free

Then thunk made it 50% off IIRC still wary

[zealous glen]

I mean I don’t think they should be too weak

[heady siren]

Also I messaged ya @zealous glen

I'm gonna go to sleep now

[subtle mason]

Question, how do I remove a button from a card when I successfully detecting when that card is being highlighted?
First I thought that maybe self.children.use_button:remove() but that doesn't seem to be working.
I thinks it's because that specific button is being declared as the last thing when the card is selected, but I'm not sure.
Any ideas on what to do?

[next timber]

king of snake by underworld

[humble girder]

i feel like that should be it, though

unless it's actually the sell_button

idk

[subtle mason]

it's the use button, but it's being added after the card:highlight function stops running and I'm doing things by injecting code (toml)

[humble girder]

oh, well, i'd probably patch whatever function is requesting the creation of the button, check conditions whether creation should be prevented and not call the button creation function at all if these conditions are met

[subtle mason]

here's the thing it's another smods mod that's adding it

[humble girder]

you can patch other mods

[subtle mason]

how do I do that?

[humble girder]

target="=[SMODS mod_key 'path_to_file.lua]"

[stark geode]

I just realized that perkolator being a common joker also makes it rarer

[subtle mason]

can you give me a 'path_to_file' example on how it should look?

[humble girder]

for example if i were to patch my own very excellent mod baliatro 's main.lua from another mod i'd do
target = "=[SMODS baliatro 'src/main.lua']"
-# try baliatro today

am i doing it right @hushed field

[subtle mason]

amazing thanks

if you spell a brand name with tm you get brand recognition points

alternatively you lose sellout points

you watch an ad

and then you have to spell the advertiser's name

[next timber]

bro did not have to be doing all that he just needed to say it

[coral flume]

Alright, Super duper weird question. Do you reckon theres a way to save a card to some kind of table, to then re-add to the deck at a later date

Like destroy a card, and return it later. Type beat

[red flower]

you can save it to a new cardarea

[coral flume]

Ayyyy cheers

[hushed field]

@heady siren just did this if you go up a bit, you can fully store cards in a table when you destroy them

alternatively, I've got a mechanic that stores them in a new cardarea for my mod, though that's a bit more involved if you wanna properly remove them from the deck

[tall wharf]

still fucking breaks

[red flower]

im sad i cant post videos of my mod while developing because i hate my mod and i would never personally play it

[tall wharf]

still does the same thing 😭

[plain apex]

its your mod make a mod you like

[red flower]

no

i make a mod that gives me fame and recognition

[manic rune]

does context.destroy_card work for G.deck

[stark geode]

what elses should i add to my mod

[manic rune]

my mod

[stark geode]

im going to add more jokers

[manic rune]

[red flower]

the wiki says it does

[stark geode]

what is it

[manic rune]

-# oh, actually?
#1338562637453066240

[humble girder]

you have to add it to extra cardareas

[plain apex]

idk but i know c:start_dissolve() works in deck

[manic rune]

hmmmm

alright lemme give it a try

[stark geode]

i looks wild lol

i can try adapting one of the concepts to fit perkeo

[manic rune]

i dunno what there is in my mod thats cool enough for others to implement, but sure :D

[zealous glen]

Why do you hate it

[red flower]

i hate videogames

[zealous glen]

Might need the additional option

[manic rune]

which one

[zealous glen]

Including Balatro?

[zealous glen]

Deck CardArea

[manic rune]

hmmm

[red flower]

especially balatro

[manic rune]

optional features, right?

[red flower]

yeah

[stark geode]

i know way to much about balatro

and i dont even know that much

[manic rune]

is this the one

oh nvm, its a table

[red flower]

cardareas = {deck = true}

iirc

[next timber]

oh damn the game just includes custom suits by default?

[manic rune]

this?

[stark geode]

im pretty sure its a smods thing

[modern kindle]

i took this that aure postetd before

[manic rune]

is it cardarea or cardareas 🤔

[next timber]

well yea but still

[manic rune]

what the hell

WHY IS IT CARDAREA(no s) IN SMODS 😭

[primal robin]

Making Jokers such a pain as I see

[manic rune]

wtf..............

[red flower]

i actually find making jokers quite easy

[manic rune]

💔

[red flower]

@edgy reef

[plain apex]

id say the easiest are probably either consumables or enhancements

[manic rune]

welp, lets see if i can destroy the ENTIRE DECK now

:3

[red flower]

every time i see a question about enhancements it seems like the most difficult thing ever

[manic rune]

have you mastered editions yet N'

[stark geode]

how do you add the extra boxes on the side of your decription

[red flower]

i havent made one

[tall wharf]

fixed some decimal place stuff

[manic rune]

info_queue?

[plain apex]

i will probably never understand those editions i dont understand that separate language at all lol

[manic rune]

i tried reading some stuff about shaders

i am NEVER understanding them

[tall wharf]

and also 😭

[brazen tusk]

I’ve yet to try anything but jokers

[manic rune]

do hand lvls do anything

[tall wharf]

nope

[manic rune]

ic

[hushed field]

I wanna at least understand how the existing shaders can be used for fun effects. I wanna see what I can do with that crt filter 🤔 My The Ring joker would be so much more fun if it'd crank that up real bad before it kills you

[plain apex]

best i made when attempting to mess with them was the color blue and it crashed the game if you did anything with it

[zealous glen]

I can’t find any simple shaders to reference

[tall wharf]

ok i think it's going insane

[zealous glen]

That’s my biggest issue trying to learn them

[humble girder]

https://glsl.app/ here's an online shader tester and

[zealous glen]

I couldn’t make it work for textures

And I couldn’t find a tutorial

[plain apex]

chatgpt make a shader for me pls

[humble girder]

there's so many glsl shader stuff on github

but ignore all that

here's one good way imo to understand how shaders come together

[zealous glen]

I meant that I couldn’t load textures in GLSL.app

[humble girder]

open up blender and do some graph editing for textures

[humble girder]

in what way could you not

[plain apex]

blender can make balatro shaders?

[humble girder]

you press textures, drop your texture, then just use texel() to sample the u_textures[0]

[humble girder]

no but blender materials are just easier to understand shader code

[zealous glen]

The GLSL tutorials said that a texture is loaded with texture but that’s not a function in GLSL.app

[humble girder]

if you figure out how to do the effect in blender it's not that hard to translate it to GLSL code

[zealous glen]

It had I think texture2D

But it didn’t accept my arguments

[humble girder]

glsl.app is OpenGL ES 3.0

pretty sure Balatro is OpenGL4

[zealous glen]

Even though I passed a something2D and the st

[next timber]

guys is this how you make shaders

[plain apex]

[manic rune]

[zealous glen]

@humble girder do you know how to load textures in GLSL.app?

[humble girder]

https://registry.khronos.org/OpenGL-Refpages/es3.0/html/texture.xhtml if you have #version 300 es, then this is how you do it pretty sure

[zealous glen]

I also found that documentation

It didn’t help me

[manic rune]

question

[humble girder]

did you or did you not have a version declaration

[manic rune]

whats the difference between context.destroying_card and context.destroy_card

[zealous glen]

I started from the example that shows up on the website

[humble girder]

context.destroying_card is vanilla

[zealous glen]

I know they’re random examples, but I just tried to save the texture in a variable

[manic rune]

oh, so context.destroy_card is like the upgraded version of that?

-# probably didnt need this then

[zealous glen]

I think my issue is that I don’t know where the sampler2D stuff is saved in the backend to access it

[humble girder]

listen idk wtf you were doing but it's literally dead simple

[zealous glen]

I thought it was just the provided variable

[zealous glen]

Maybe I didn’t try u_textures[0]

[zealous glen]

I think I tried 1 and above lol

[manic rune]

IT WORKS

[tall wharf]

?????????

[manic rune]

im so gonna fuck up my mod's players

@humble girder could it be that my mod has a higher priority?

[humble girder]

it could be your mod has a lower priority

[manic rune]

the order of how you load your jokers

[humble girder]

i think that matters, yes

[humble girder]

SMODS.Joker { order = X } i think should matter for how they show up on collection

[uncut grail]

i mean, to put them on the same pages as the canon jokers

[uncut grail]

ooh cool!

[uncut grail]

man this is the second joker im coding i have to use the update method for

why do i choose the hardest ideas

[plain apex]

this properly removes the cards but then they are still selected for some reason?? allowing you to do this

[red flower]

why is that

[hushed field]

does this actually mattter? I used order when i started the mod, and continue doing so just because it allows me to check things using the search function for metadata reasons, but load order seems to determine the collection order, and order seems to not do much at all

[humble girder]

that's specifically what they're trying to do

is reorder the collection

[uncut grail]

first joker reacts to stone cards turning into anything else
second joker reacts to destroying rare jokers

[red flower]

i feel like you can do both with hooks but yeah

[humble girder]

neither of these should be update()

[uncut grail]

what are hooks..............hmhmhm

[manic rune]

send in the link

[plain apex]

part of the code

calculate = function(self, card, context)

[uncut grail]

thats

a hooking

[manic rune]

hook

[humble girder]

MR PRESIDENT GET DOWN

[next timber]

hooking is you make a function, you put the function you're hooking inside that function, and then you replace the original function with the new function

[plain apex]

what its just terrible coding

[manic rune]

its more like adding code to before/after the function, honestly

[uncut grail]

what? how does this help to make these

[next timber]

cause you can do it to vanilla functions

[red flower]

maybe do G.hand:unhighlight_all() after?

[manic rune]

mmmmhmhmhm

how do i randomly choose half of the deck

[uncut grail]

so i inject code in the card.lua thing?

[next timber]

no injections needed

[red flower]

instead of checking all the time in update you only check at the times it's necessary by appending to vanilla functions

[next timber]

you should prolyl get someone better to explain hooking

im dum

[uncut grail]

i think gml rotted my brain

[uncut grail]

can you give me an example of something like that? i think i'm not getting it

for example how would i react to rare jokers getting destroyed

or just any joker, whatever

[red flower]

i have this so when a joker is sold or destroyed it goes to the graveyard for example

[plain apex]

yes that fixed it yippee

[red flower]

you need a bit more logic to not count selling but its doable

[uncut grail]

OHHH WAIT I GET IT I THINK

[plain apex]

weird that cards that are in the discard pile can be highlighted in the first place

[uncut grail]

so technically this is just injecting code into something the game already has by adding something BEFORE a function?

[manic rune]

is this the way

[red flower]

it think it just doesnt unhighlight them automatically so theyre still in G.hand.highlighted

[red flower]

yes

[uncut grail]

would this still be possible if i executed the ref function before my code?

[tall wharf]

ok i think I'm done with the math deck

almost

[red flower]

yes

[uncut grail]

ok this is peam

tysm!

[red flower]

or in the middle

[uncut grail]

goodbye hardcoding......... goodbye forever

[subtle mason]

@humble girder not it but maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's a custom function not a SMODS.something

[humble girder]

nope

[uncut grail]

it's sad but i think....

yaeh..

[humble girder]

you're patching files, not functions

[manic rune]

:(

[uncut grail]

@red flower sorry for the ping, just want to clarify.
so the way of doing the things i listed is adding new context?

[red flower]

you can do that yeah

[uncut grail]

cool!

where does context originate from, though

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_context({you_context = true})

you can add anything you want to that table

i feel like people are gonna walk out after fighting cocolia with like 10 cards left when they had 40

[nova finch]

I wish there was an easier way to do this 😥

at least it works tho

[primal robin]

...just use table dude

[next timber]

The humble switch statement:

Does lua have those

[zealous glen]

Yes

[forest ivy]

just asking: what about making a table with all hands names and then using for loop to check if card.ability.extra.contestant_hand is equal to (table item)

[next timber]

Yansim ass code

[zealous glen]

Actually wait Idk

It has go to though IIRC

[nova finch]

i have no idea how to do table stuff

[stark geode]

Do you have experience with another programming language

[next timber]

Well learn the entire game is built on them

[nova finch]

not really

[primal robin]

Makes sense

[nova finch]

only html which doesn't really help

[stark geode]

Damn

[zealous glen]

┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)

That’s a table

[nova finch]

oh ok

[zealous glen]

A Lua table is {}

[nova finch]

i know what a table is i just don't know how to use them well

[zealous glen]

It holds pairs of keys and values

So if you table had keys named after the Poker hands, you could access the desired variables that way

[glad osprey]

why is the edition activating twice specifically for the discard increase?

[manic rune]

whats ur code

lookin like rn

[thin anchor]

how would i add this card to the tarot pool?

[humble girder]

set = 'Tarot', no parentheses

it will work automatically

[thin anchor]

oh

i was just wondering because it wasnt showing up in any booster packs

[spring lantern]

not 100% sure about the colors here

[humble girder]

actually i don't think the parentheses are an issue

hmm

[tall wharf]

learning japanese feels like learning whole anohter languiage

[humble girder]

but yeah defining the consumeable with a tarot set should be all you need to do

[thin anchor]

ok

[zealous glen]

Try increasing the weight, if that’s a thing

[spring lantern]

i don't believe you

[zealous glen]

Idk if it is

[thin anchor]

whats this about

do i need to add my tarot to one of these?

[humble girder]

nope

[thin anchor]

ah

[humble girder]

SMODS.Consumable {
    object_type = "Consumable",
    set = "Tarot",
    key = "ace_of_pentacles",
    pos = { x = 3, y = 0 },
    cost = 4,
    atlas = "BaliatroSpectral",
    config = {
        max_highlighted = 2,
        min_highlighted = 1,
        mod_conv = 'm_baliatro_resistant',
    },
}

this tarot is in my pools without any extra work

[tall wharf]

😭

when have i ever lied

[thin anchor]

i see

[humble girder]

and i'm pretty sure the object_type is something i blindly copied out of cryptid but not needed

[thin anchor]

found it

ok so how would i make my tarot give a selected card an enhancement

[humble girder]

funny you should ask

        max_highlighted = 2,
        min_highlighted = 1,
        mod_conv = 'm_baliatro_resistant',
    },```
should just work

[red flower]

this goes crazy

[nova finch]

i got it working with a table, but i had to change all the names so that it worked with the localization keys
so now I have to figure out how to translate that to the actual hand it is

[red flower]

arent the localization keys the same as the names

[nova finch]

what im using this for is toggling between different possible descriptions for each hand

[red flower]

ohh

yeah makes sense

[nova finch]

since you can't have spaces i had to change it to underscores

but now i can

[red flower]

you can

[nova finch]

't

[red flower]

["keyHigh Card"]

[nova finch]

it crashes when i try to have spaces

unless i just have to put it in quotes in the localization files

[red flower]

yes

you can use it in in_pool to check the source of the creation

[hushed field]

Does smods place it there, or did I just miss that in the source code?

[red flower]

yeah i think smods does

How do y'all understand the source code

ah, I was literally gonna add it myself otherwise, haha

[stark geode]

I try reading it and it's just like

Wat

[hushed field]

I trace a lot of functions so I can see where things come from. I don't understand everything. Some functions are really webbed deep in other functions

[stark geode]

Reminds me of my old blackjack program I made

[hushed field]

But I check the function, and where it's called to see what it's doing. Because sometimes only checking the function's code doesn't make it clear why certain things are happening

[stark geode]

All the functions are wired and intertwied

[tall wharf]

i went insane

[stark geode]

Yeah

[red flower]

i just get it

[stark geode]

Crazy?

[tall wharf]

once yeah

[stark geode]

Is there any way to read it better

[hushed field]

Hmm, so it seems that boosterpacks don't use a key_append. I'll have to check if the shop itself appends anything. This way I can exempt joker creators like riff-raff and judgement from creating the wrong jokers

[stark geode]

Also I'm pretty sure local bonk didn't make it so I can scale the soul part of the title screen cards

[native zinc]

:(

[red flower]

for jokers it's 'buf'

[hushed field]

Ah, that's good to know

that ain't good

[spring lantern]

wjhat are we thinkin so far

[crisp elbow]

I like

[spring lantern]

-# doing hands in pixel art is so hard ;^;

[hushed field]

i remember people talking about quirks when it came to saving tables. What was the deal with that?

[nova finch]

I put in like 2 prints for logging purposes and it just randomly started working perfectly again?? 😭

[tall wharf]

i agree

[native zinc]

the fix for this was to rename my main file???

[tall wharf]

hands are hard in general

[native zinc]

oh thats

hm

well the colour is right at least

[stark geode]

So as far as I know there is w and h for the soul sprite

card.children.front.VT.w is in the unit function for the card class

But I'm trying to figure what that is

And what it does

Where it's set

[native zinc]

does loc_text() not work here?

[dreamy thunder]

loc_txt()

[native zinc]

ah.

oh!

huh

[nova finch]

took a strangely long amount of time for me to get these working

[spring lantern]

hello how are you? fine thank you

[tall wharf]

does anyone happen to know where my consumeables are

[spring lantern]

gone.

[native zinc]

gone, reduced to quarks

[spring lantern]

i eated them

[nova finch]

on strike

[brazen kite]

me with my suspiciously consumable tray shaped stomach

[tall wharf]

ok no seriously where did it go

[native zinc]

yeah judgement was sick of breaking up the tarots that convert into suits

[tall wharf]

ok i think i disabled them by accident

[manic rune]

hmmmmmmmm

[tall wharf]

yuuuuuuuuuuuup

uhhhh

[buoyant merlin]

So I tried to add a tooltip through loc_vars and it crashed the game?
Anyone know why?

[tall wharf]

what are the config values

[buoyant merlin]

This? config = { extra = { current = 0, needed = 3, mult = 8, upgraded = false } },

I should probably provide the full relevant code

[spring lantern]

anotha 1

[hushed field]

what is joker_druid in this case?

[buoyant merlin]

In the lang file, descriptions -> Other

[spring lantern]

question how do i check the vouchers that have been redeemed this run

[hushed field]

you're not passing vars to your info_queue, I suspect

you wanna add a vars = {} in your info_queue in loc vars, for the joker_druid thing

[reef belfry]

One of my ugliest creations yet

[spring lantern]

nah that's a v ery silly goober

[buoyant merlin]

And just use a copy of the ones I have already?

[hushed field]

I'm not sure which values you'd wanna display there. it's going to depend on what you want those values to be

what is joker_druid in this case? Is it like an enhancement-esque thing?

[buoyant merlin]

Uh It's a joker called Sapling, you sell 3 jokers, and it upgrades to Druid which gives mult based on jokers sold, but is still technically the same card

[frosty dock]

yes but you can always --dump-all to find out

[buoyant merlin]

So joker_druid is an alternate name and description for it

[thin anchor]

is this correct?

[stark geode]

Wait

[hushed field]

How are you doing that change? Are you changing the ability over?

[stark geode]

Balatro is just dead ass open source software

[spring lantern]

halp i wanna make a thing that redeems blank and antimatter when used

[stark geode]

Check cryptids decks

They have one that does that

[spring lantern]

i'm too tired to dig through cryptid rn 😭

[buoyant merlin]

I just set the upgraded variable to true and do different stuff in calculate
Is there a more optimal way?

[thin anchor]

h

[hushed field]

You can make it a separate joker, and use set_ability(key for the druid joker). It'll still be the same card, keeping editions and such, but change ability

that way you also don't need multiple localization entries

[buoyant merlin]

Ohhhhhhh that's neat
That'll fix all the issues I had when it used to create Druid and destroy Sapling

[stark geode]

the deck in question

[zealous glen]

Check Betmma’s

[hushed field]

forcing jokers to appear is working 😄

[zealous glen]

Cute

[daring fern]

Shouldn't the tarot description say its going to turn up to 2 cards into red bullseyes?

[zealous glen]

Forcing Jokers?

[thin anchor]

yeah ill change that later but thats not the issue

[buoyant merlin]

Also this works! Thx

[red flower]

i am consistent and independent

[zealous glen]

*derivates you again*

[hushed field]

if you use set_ability, you'll not need to pass through vars anymore, btw. Jokers can just be passed onto the info_queue quite simply

[buoyant merlin]

How so?

[hushed field]

Now I just need to figure out the gameplay logic for it. Should it override booster pack specifics? If a booster pack says 'create 3 Fantasy jokers', but the forced order says 'the next jokers are all the Spielberg jokers ordered by release date', should the booster pack pick any potential forced jokers? Should it remove those from the order? Should not acknowledge the effect at all? Or should the natural booster pack limits be overridden? 🤔

[daring fern]

What is the issue then?

[hushed field]

if you pass G.P_CENTERS[joker_key] to info_queue, it'll localize that jokers information and grab the vars from its config

[buoyant merlin]

Ah alright

[daring fern]

I think you need the can_use and use functions.

[hushed field]

Hmm, I think the best thing to do is to have booster packs that are more limited in what they create ignore it. I'm mostly using it for a deck and a challenge, so I can ban the items that would create issues. I don't think there's a way for this to be logical

[thin anchor]

where would i put them?

[red flower]

it should work like the tags where they only overwrite stuff they can overwrite
so if there's a spielberg fantasy then it does and if not it waits until it can overwrite another thing

[hushed field]

the problem is that it'd overwrite the larger rule in that case. They wouldn't be showing up by order of release in that case, for example

[daring fern]

Probably after config.

[thin anchor]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

i literally have no idea what im doing

[thin anchor]

ah

im going to slam my head into a brick wall

[spring lantern]

yippeee

[wintry swallow]

anytime i open shop i get this error, my code:

[crisp coral]

how are we feeling about this balancewise

[paper zealot]

Cool effect, though "at once" could be clarified a little better. Is that per round?

[crisp coral]

any source

[hushed field]

Seems like one of those jokers that with a good build carries you to ante 12, but isn't going to get you past it without other jokers to truly break it. Also very dependent on how economy functions in your mod

[crisp coral]

my mod has near 0 econ

which i should print more of

[onyx sonnet]

How does this handle retriggers? Does retriggering a held gold seal count as 6 or is it just two instances of 3

oh wait i just read the name im sorry

[thin anchor]

how would you apply an enhancement to a card?

[crisp coral]

that should count as two instances of 3

[daring fern]

card:set_ability('m_prefix_enhancement') I think.

[onyx sonnet]

here's how midas does it, v is a playing card

v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true)```

the other enhancements are m_lucky, m_steel, m_glass and such

[thin anchor]

i see

so i would do m_redbulls for my own enhancement?

[onyx sonnet]

it might need the mod prefix if its a custom enhancement?

[daring fern]

You need your mod prefix between m_ and redbulls

[onyx sonnet]

im not sure i havent messed with custon enhancements yet

[thin anchor]

ok

[native zinc]

hey i think i spawned these guys wrongly

hm.

[daring fern]

Did you forget to emplace?

[native zinc]

probably

aka "gotta use add_card"

[vast lily]

You have to specify what area a joker is going to when you add it

Or any card really

[native zinc]

no i used create_card() instead of add_card()

which i guess is that

[thin anchor]

is this correct for awarding an enhancement to a card using a tarot?

[daring fern]

The use function needs to be in where you define the tarot.

[vast lily]

To me what this looks like is you forgetting to specify an area in your card creation function

[daring fern]

And like this use = function(self,card,area,copier)

[thin anchor]

yeah its in there

[frosty dock]

that's not how you define a function

[vast lily]

SMODS.add_card({set = 'Joker', area = G.jokers, rarity = 'Common', no_edition = true})
this is the line of code I use to create a random common joker. if you don't have the area = G.jokers part, it's just plopped onto the screen and you can drag it around wherever

[frosty dock]

you shouldn't need to specify the area

[vast lily]

really

[thin anchor]

hmmmm

[frosty dock]

it should default to G.jokers or G.consumeables depending on input

[vast lily]

might have something to do with the fact that when i wrote and tested this code i was using an older version of smods

[frosty dock]

what you've described happens when using SMODS.create_card

[vast lily]

ah

[stark geode]

Is there a way I can make a mod that modified the base game language file

[thin anchor]

so is this right

[spring lantern]

help my cards are sick

[daring fern]

There should be no if statement around the function.

[spring lantern]

they have the green particle illness

[thin anchor]

h

[spring lantern]

now i gotta dig thru cryptid AGAIN to see how they do the pull code card thing

[buoyant merlin]

v should be card instead I presume

[zinc forum]

You need to use basegame create_card, not SMODS's

[thin anchor]

doesnt crash but it doesnt do anything now it just vanishes

[spring lantern]

last time i made a booster pack SMODS.create_card was fine that's odd

[zinc forum]

Since it's a booster pack create_card("set") should do the trick...?

[dreamy thunder]

skip_materialize = true

[dreamy thunder]

add this

[manic rune]

can someone tell me

[zinc forum]

Oooooh, I see

[manic rune]

how is this

[spring lantern]

ahh right thanks

[manic rune]

comparign a number and a table

???

[zinc forum]

And thanks also x)

[spring lantern]

thank you talisman very cool

[manic rune]

LIKE

i tried printing type() with those stuff, right

they are all tables.

[buoyant merlin]

How can I check if a card in a played hand wasn't scored?

[spring lantern]

you need to apply the enhancement to the highlighted card(s)

rather than the consumable itself

[thin anchor]

soooo

hmmm

[ivory coral]

theres an optional feature for the context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[frosty dock]

it's not an optional feature

[manic rune]

like, im not going crazy

if i run it in the command prompt of debug plus, it works normally

[ivory coral]

oh is it just a thing now then

[manic rune]

boom

[frosty dock]

yeah

[ivory coral]

neat

[manic rune]

I HATE TALISMAN 🗣️

oh my god ive been scratching my head over this for an hour now

holy fuck

[frosty dock]

can I see line numbers

[manic rune]

im 100% certain its line 654 thats crashing

[frosty dock]

that's... not even the file of the crash

[manic rune]

EXACTLY

[frosty dock]

what's around the line where it actually crashed

[manic rune]

heres the crash log

[buoyant merlin]

Ooooo ok

[frosty dock]

functions/common_events.lua:1094

what's here

[manic rune]

waitie

[frosty dock]

yeah that makes more sense

[crisp coral]

oh

yeah that makes total sense

[manic rune]

:3

what

[spring lantern]

why does talisman

in general

[manic rune]

please dont leave me on the train track 😭

[frosty dock]

amt > 0

amt is a table
