[buoyant merlin]

Does anyone know why it says get_id is a nil value?

[brazen tusk]

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

[lyric blade]

Because get id is empty? Maybe try Card:get_id(played_card)

But idk

[buoyant merlin]

Isn't X:func() shorthand for Y.func(X)

[lyric blade]

No idea

[wintry solar]

Your method of finding a pair is wrong

[buoyant merlin]

Oh? How should I do it?

[wintry solar]

context.poker_hands[“Pair”] would be a table of all the present pairs

[short mauve]

Button for what

[buoyant merlin]

Yes, that is what I want

[wintry solar]

Yes but your loop grabs a table of cards and assumes it is a card

[manic rune]

switching out the boss blind for something else

basically

[short mauve]

Oh

[manic rune]

...i couldve swore someone did that before

[short mauve]

That's cool

[buoyant merlin]

Ohhhhhh

I think I get it now

[wintry solar]

So your played_card is actually {card1, card2}

[buoyant merlin]

?

[digital niche]

tytyy!

[manic rune]

it gives you the option to either fight my mod's mega boss for increased reward

or just

go with the vanilla one

[wintry solar]

That would work yeah

[manic rune]

i think its nice to let players have more control over what they fight

:3

[quartz ravine]

this goes pretty well together!

[wintry solar]

This sounds like what I have coming in ortalab

[manic rune]

oh wait

did ortalab

YEAH

I REMEMBER YOU HAVING THAT

💔

[quartz ravine]

Oh cool, you are a part of Ortalab?

[buoyant merlin]

Yayyy its not crashing anymore

[manic rune]

is it out, eremel?

[wintry solar]

Not yet

[manic rune]

i want to check ur code for reference :3

aw

[wintry solar]

It’s on the test repo at the moment

I can send it over to you later on for reference if you like

[manic rune]

sure, that would help a lot since im bad at UIs, thanks :D

[digital niche]

yk where i can find a example code for a SMODS.Enhancement? i cant find it anywhere

[quartz ravine]

I've got one here you can look at. I think SMODS has a lot of documentation but I feel it woul be really nice to also have an example of each on the wiki page for the topic

[runic pecan]

bump

[digital niche]

yeaah, there is a page with some examples but just for spectral, tarot, joker and edition

[quartz ravine]

Enhancement card from my mod

[digital niche]

tyty!!

[quartz ravine]

Mine is a very weird example because it is like a stone card meets a steel card. It gives +chips but is focused on holding it so it gains chips every hand

[digital niche]

oh wait i have a similar thing in my mod haha

it gives +50 chips when hold in hand

my mod is about fusing different enhancements, than i have:

Steel + Stone = Concrete: +50 chips while in hand

[quartz ravine]

that's cool!

[mental nacelle]

update - it is functional, but the button always says 'nil' and the ui stuff is a bit dodgy

[tall wharf]

what the fuck

[mental nacelle]

what

[tall wharf]

4 blinds 😭😭😭😭

[mental nacelle]

yeah

[manic rune]

oh thats cool

[next timber]

my mod is broken right now so that playing generosity and friendship seal cards in the same hand can give you negative mult for some reason??? but fuck that i wanna play math deck

[digital niche]

where can i find all the enhancement cards assets without like the rank in suit? like in the collections page?

[mental nacelle]

it took a while for the game to accept that the first boss blind is not the final blind in an ante, and there are some artefacts (such as investment tags triggering on the first boss)

[runic pecan]

Double boss blind in one ante, this modding community never cease to amaze me.

[ivory coral]

its in the game files with all the other textures
you can extract the balatro executable to see inside it

[lyric blade]

Tried and it did just something else. now, the card eval message comes as a bunch after all the retriggers instead of before

[radiant plank]

how do i handle file inclusion using 'require' in a balatro mod?

do i need to append my mod's directory to lua's package.path?

[lyric blade]

Ok, just found the solution: card eval has to just be below score_card, that's it, lol

without event

[digital niche]

ooh, tyty

[manic rune]

I GOT THE BUTTON TO SHOW UP 🗣️

[digital niche]

in there are all the cards together, i wanted one of each enhancement yk?

[manic rune]

-# ignore the text please

[humble girder]

Just SMODS.load_file

[tall wharf]

what is going on

[manic rune]

basically

im adding Worlds to my mod

its randomly chosen every time you start a run

[tall wharf]

PENACONY IN BALATRO

🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥💯

[manic rune]

pressing that button will switch between the vanilla boss blind, and a mega boss from my mod

:3

[manic rune]

we are so back with peak... ✊

let me see if i can get it working first :3

i think thats the hardest part done already

[wintry solar]

The button is the easy part

[manic rune]

...not the switching boss part???

[wintry solar]

Making it update all the ui elements correctly is the hard part

[manic rune]

ah

oh but also

is it weird that the button flies from the top of the screen to the boss blind ui

lemme record rq

[runic pecan]

bump

[tall wharf]

the button is easy

[humble girder]

Idk what you mean but yes

[wintry solar]

That is weird yes

[tall wharf]

Eremel You're the wizard here i trust you

[humble girder]

Whenever anyone says "flying button" I think "weird"

[manic rune]

THE WIZARD BUTTON

🧙‍♂️

[radiant plank]

thanks

[digital niche]

the 1x size is 71x95 right? so the 2x is 142x190?

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/49bfdfdaccaefd479d38250b90c1387a

[short mountain]

Guys can someone help me

[tall wharf]

do i really need to patch the code to make it display "Score as close as possible to"

instead of "Score at least"

[short mountain]

I need help with cryptid

[wintry solar]

Yea that is definitely weird

You need to attach it to the blind ui ideally

[humble girder]

Why does it always have to be cryptid

[tall wharf]

my thought goes

did you set the button to be at 0,0

[manic rune]

this is what my ui code looks like rn

[tall wharf]

aa

i wonder if you'll have to properly parent it

somehow

[manic rune]

:3

uhhh

table.insert(G.blind_select_opts.boss, G.hsr_change_boss_button)?

dunno

[next timber]

what the

why did i lose the blind, i had hands left

math deck

aiko how tf does math deck work

[digital niche]

where do yall draw your cards?

[buoyant merlin]

Is there a table of consumables that the player currently has?
Trying to make a card that interacts with current consumables

[radiant plank]

if i have in my main.lua

CHB = SMODS.current_mod
SMODS.load_file('utils.lua', 'chb_mod')
CHB.load_dir('jokers')

and in another file utils.lua

function CHB.load_file(file)
  -- implementation
end

function CHB.load_dir(directory)
  -- implementation
end

why is CHB.load_dir still nil in main.lua? not seeing what im doing wrong here

[manic rune]

draw_from_deck_to_hand?

[digital niche]

no i mean design the card, the app where you make the image

[manic rune]

OH, the other meaning of "draw"

aesprite is usually the best app for that

[digital niche]

im making custom cards but the app i normally use for pixelart doesnt let me use the assets i have for some reason

[digital niche]

tyty!

[digital niche]

oh wait you have to pay for use?

[manic rune]

you can manually compile the app to use it for free

but its tougher that way

[digital niche]

oh, how?

[manic rune]

BUT the app itself is definitely worth it

since it has a bunch of useful features for pixel art

[digital niche]

imma try to ind a tutorial, tyty!

[manic rune]

i would even say its the best app for pixel art :3

[digital niche]

i was using fire alpaca

[manic rune]

https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite/blob/main/INSTALL.md

here

[digital niche]

if i had to pay it would be over for me, its 120 of my currency and yesterday i was trying to get 3,50 from some friends so i TOTALLY wouldnt have LOL😭

[manic rune]

i can relate to your poverty 😭

[gleaming summit]

I can confirm aseprite is worth it

[digital niche]

im a little bit scared i think

[buoyant merlin]

Nvm figured it out it's consumeables with an e............ Why!

[manic rune]

:3

do not be afraid.

[digital niche]

i can barely take it with 2 hours of godot i cant imagine 80 hours of vscode

[digital niche]

why did it start downloading vscode community 2022😭

[manic rune]

idk 😭

[manic rune]

switching bond to Strong was the solution

IDK HOW I FIGURED THAT OUT 🔥

is this how it feels to be eremel

[digital niche]

i cant understand anything that is going on🔥🔥🔥

[radiant plank]

how do i properly make/use a localization file? I've created a localization/default.lua and followed the table structure on the wiki but the description isn't showing up in the collection for me.

for the prefixing - do I do something like j_jokername = {...}, j_[modprefix]_jokername = {...}, or [modprefix]_j_jokername = {...}?

[red flower]

j_[modprefix]_jokerkey

[radiant plank]

thanks, so if jokerkey already looks like j_jokername i would create an entry in descriptions.Joker like j_[modprefix]_j_jokername as i understand it?

[red flower]

yes

[radiant plank]

thanks!

[manic rune]

im CONFUSED

why does this "repeat" line make the return line red

i will remove the entire code chunk later since its not what im looking for rn

but im a bit confused over this

[chrome widget]

Once again facing my biggest issue: how to limit the visibility of the vertex shader transformation for mouse hover

Larger textures get offset by much more than smaller ones

Wait.... but maybe...

[red flower]

i dont think repeat until ends with end

[manic rune]

o

I AM COOKED 🗣️

yeah that was a dumb idea lmfao

[ionic cobalt]

freezing 🗣️

[red flower]

this is an infinite loop is you're running it like that

[manic rune]

mhm, i realized

[red flower]

you might want an event for that instead

[manic rune]

nice, this button exists even when boss is rerolled now :3

time to work on the actual fuctionality, yipee

actually

how do i check whether the boss blind is a showdown one or not?

[radiant plank]

how would you all suggest going about implementing a variable message in a joker's description (like Loyalty Card)?

ive found the localize function but don't fully understand what i need to be passing to it or how it works

[open aspen]

if im creating my own new object class with SMODS.GameObject:extend, how can I apply it to a card for testing purposes? eg like with debug_plus

[red flower]

i think its G.GAME.blind.boss.showdown

[manic rune]

thanks :3

[red flower]

wdym

you can return strings in loc_vars

[radiant plank]

yeah i tried that first but the substitution wasn't happening on them (which makes sense). for one condition i want the stylization to be different than from another

[red flower]

you can use main_end then, you pass a UI table to it and it appends it at the end of the description

(or main_start for the opposite)

[rapid stag]

anyone got any ideas on how i can alter calculate_seal() in card.lua so i can get red seals on jokers to retrigger the joker?

this is what it looks like in my dumped lua file right now, with my patched code highlighted

[manic rune]

HMMM

shouldnt it work?

.

oh wait its blind

im dumb

oh no

god my resolution is so ass i thought "b" was "B"

[digital niche]

heyy!! tyty for the code, im almost done with the one i was trying to do, just one question, what does "chipsrate" do? i saw it on yours

[tired skiff]

owo

[digital niche]

btw is this right?

[open aspen]

if im creating my own new object class with SMODS.GameObject:extend, how can I apply it to a card for testing purposes? eg like with debug_plus?

[rapid stag]

like, i honestly have no idea how to mess with the order of events here so i can make it do the thing

i'm wondering if i should just tprint(context) in this scenario so i can see what on earth is happening

[manic rune]

...

turned out

its ~~ G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss.showdown~~ that only works when you are actually fighting against the blind

:3

wtf

i have no clue why it doesnt work 💔

[digital niche]

if i want the playing card to have both +30 chips and +4 mult i would need to do this right?

[spiral crown]

getting this error after using the following code, anyone got any ideas?

[quartz ravine]

How much it increases when held or not played. I have been very bad with standardizing my variable usage on my mod code so far!

[digital niche]

ooh tyty!!

[quartz ravine]

Probably because I am doing this for fun and not work, lol!

[digital niche]

so fairrr

[digital niche]

btw is this right? or do i make them like one by the side of the other?

like side by siide with a +

[quartz ravine]

Does anyone have an example of a consumable which can only be used when X cards are selected? For some reason, my consumable can be used even if in the shop, or no cards are seleceted. Basically doing nothing, ha!

[digital niche]

how do i solve this?

oh wait i just have to change the name of the file lol

[quartz ravine]

If you use this card.ability.perma_bonus, it will automatically apply that much in chips when scored

[digital niche]

im not sure i follow

like, card.ability.perma_bonus = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.mult?

[rancid bridge]

trying to make a joker that shows the current amount of xMult they have in the description
first question: is the text scale thing {S:value} or {s:value}
second question: how do i have it show the current amount (i want it to start on x1 also)

[manic rune]

bump

i want to check outside the boss blind itself, by the way

:3

i cant figure it out

at all

[quartz ravine]

"{C:inactive}Currently {X:mult,C:white}X#2#{}"

then populate the variable using loc_vars

[digital niche]

this?

[quartz ravine]

@rafae actually just do this

return {
          chips = card.ability.chips,
          mult = card.ability.plusMult,
          card = card
      }

change your vars to match of course

[rancid bridge]

okay

[digital niche]

wait where do i add this?

sorry im really new to modding

oh wait nvm

[rain hazel]

Need some modding assistance, I have never installed mods before and I followed a YouTube tutorial and I think I did everything right, the mods folder is in the game but when I look at it it’s saying im missing steam modded which isn’t the case since I definitely have it installed and in the mod directory, so I’m not sure where I went wrong here

[digital niche]

same happened to me before, had to uninstall everything including balatro and reinstalll

[quartz ravine]

@rain hazel

Does your SMODs dir look like this?

[digital niche]

like this?

[rain hazel]

Sure did

[quartz ravine]

Also be sure you put this in the right folder, tons of people put their mods in the wrong place. It does not go in the same path as the Balatro.exe

[quartz ravine]

try it

[digital niche]

my balatro crashes when i try opening

[manic rune]

that loc vars

[quartz ravine]

Oh lol! Swap the things

[manic rune]

seems wrong

[quartz ravine]

Return Chips,etc needs to be in the calaculate function

[digital niche]

so the card.ability.perma_bonus in the return and the return part in calculate?

[rain hazel]

Don’t you put it in the %AppData% area of the game?

[radiant plank]

how do i make use of the juice_card_until function? is there an equivalent provided by steamodded? I tried using it as its used for Loyalty Card but the function tries to access center while it is nil

[quartz ravine]

I have an example for you

[digital niche]

this? i got some error telling me to add double = so i did

[radiant plank]

awesome, thank you :)

[digital niche]

for some reason some things now are a little dark or resumed

[manic rune]

:3 i think u need to research the example joker mod more

[quartz ravine]

This card will jiggle if the played hand (i.e. what the user has selected but not yet played) will be a flush

if nil ~= context.poker_hands and next(context.poker_hands["Flush]) then
      if false == card.ability.ready then 
          sendInfoMessage("Joker is now READY!", self.key)
          card.ability.ready = true;
      end

      local eval = function(card) return (next(context.poker_hands["Flush]) end
      juice_card_until(card, eval, true)

[manic rune]

"Flush

also

[quartz ravine]

loc_vars is where you put variables tha will be dropped into the loc_txt of your card or edition or what have you. I would remove that loc_vars entirely. Or just paste your code so I can help you fix it

[manic rune]

ive never seen ANYONE use false == card.ability.ready instead of card.ability.ready == false

[quartz ravine]

Well we can't go around giving people actually working samples, where is the fun in that

[manic rune]

ur crazy 💔

[radiant plank]

hm, what i have here looks very similar. not seeing the difference. ill provide what i have

[manic rune]

but also

not card.ability.ready alone would suffice

[radiant plank]

...
elseif context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then
  local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.extra.tarots_remaining == 0) end
  juice_card_until(self, eval, true)
end
...

[manic rune]

replace self with card

[radiant plank]

oh wait i need to pass card duh

[manic rune]

and that should be it

[digital niche]

yeah ill just add here the code, i dont really follow

SMODS.Enhancement ({
    key="extra",
    name = "Extra Card",
    atlas = "enhanc",
    pos = {x=2, y = 1},
    replace_base_card = true,
    no_suit = false,
    no_rank = false,
    always_scores = false,
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Extra Card",
        label = "Extra",
        text = {"Gives +30 chips and +4 mult",}
    },
    config = {extra = {  bonus = 30, mult = 4}},

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {card.ability.perma_bonus == card.ability.chips + card.ability.plusMult}
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context, ret)
        if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.before then  
            Chips = card.ability.chips,
            Mult == card.ability.plusMult,
            Card == card
        end
       
    end
})```

[spiral crown]

anyone know why I would be getting this error for the following code?

[manic rune]

remove cardarea, using_consuneable, consumeable, and area stuff

those in the documentation are just to show you want u can access, not for u to actually put it in the code

and also, the conditions are wrong, you are checking for the joker itself, not the consumable being used

context.consumeable refers to the consumable being used

[spiral crown]

Oh! thank you! Would explain why the documentation was confusing me lol so the second if statement would be context.consumeable.edition.e_negative?

[manic rune]

mjm

mhm

[spiral crown]

Thank you!

[quartz ravine]

SMODS.Enhancement ({
    key="extra",
    name = "Extra Card",
    atlas = "FoxModMisc",
    pos = {x=2, y = 1},
    replace_base_card = true,
    no_suit = false,
    no_rank = false,
    always_scores = false,
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Extra Card",
        label = "Extra",
        text = {"Gives +30 chips and +4 mult",}
    },   
    config = { perma_bonus = 30, mult = 4, x_mult = 2 }
})

Change your atlas back, but this works. You only need a calculate block if you're being conditional

[wicked leaf]

are there any steamodded addons for visual studio code?

[digital niche]

oh ok, so literally take all of the loc_vars

tyty!!

[digital niche]

oooh okok, ty!

does this automatically show up in collection or do i need a code for this aswell?

and the game still crashed

oh wait nvm i didnt save

[manic rune]

open the entire Mods folder in vsc

can someone pls tell me how to check if the boss blind is a showdown one outside of the actual boss blind? 😭

[quartz ravine]

it will show up in the collection automaticaaly. It you're using debugPlus you can hold Control and hit W or E to cycle through until it appears

[manic rune]

i cant figure it out

ngngngngg

[quartz ravine]

I see you but cannot help you, I don't know

[digital niche]

ty so much! helped me a lot🫶

[manic rune]

yeah dw, i know that :3

im just hoping that theres someone with better understanding than me coming in to save the day

[hushed field]

blind.boss.showdown, no?

[manic rune]

that only works if you are in the boss blind, it seems

[manic rune]

this is what im trying to do

[hushed field]

you have access to the key, no?

[manic rune]

the button should only appear when its a showdown blind

[manic rune]

uhhhh wym by that :3

[hushed field]

if you have access to the key of an object, you have access to all its info

[twin flicker]

Can someone help me with an issue im having? I basically just want the joker to do X3 Mult when time a full house is played, the game crashes when i play a hand saying XMult is an nil value

Heres my code:

text = {
"{X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult if played",
"hand contains",
"a {C:attention}Full House{}"
}
},
blueprint_compat = true,
perishable_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
rarity = 3,
atlas = "Modded_Jokers",
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
cost = 10,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
config = { extra = { Xmult = 3 } },
local_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main and context.poker_hands["Full House"] then
        return {
            card = card,
            Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            colour = G.C.MULT
        }
    end
end

}

[manic rune]

oh, true

am i supposed to dig through the ui to find the blind key?

[hushed field]

and because the blind already is determined when you enter the ante, you should have access to the blind

That'd be the logical place to check where it is stored, yeah, haha

[manic rune]

man, this is more complicated than i thought it would be, thanks!

[radiant plank]

hey fox, still struggling with juice_up_until. LOVE isn't crashing or anything but im still not getting any juice up effects on the card. is it the context that's incorrect for me?
for reference here's what i have again:

elseif context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then
  local eval = function(card) return (card.ability.extra.tarots_remaining == 0) end
  juice_card_until(self, eval, true)
end

i've tried inverting the condition but that didn't have any effect.

another edit: just remembered the context.joker_main context is ONLY for scoring effects.. do i even need to wrap this block in a context?

[digital niche]

what is that one page in github about the text and collors etc?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#text-formatting

[hushed field]

Are you using an old example? This way of setting up a joker uses a lot of stuff SMODS will do for you automatically!

[digital niche]

tyty!

[twin flicker]

You're sure making me think so lmao

[hushed field]

if you return x_mult = [whatever], you won't have to set up your message yourself. Can you show the actual crash log? Which line is it saying is nil?

[cursive ocean]

Is it possible to extend the SMODS.calculate_individual_effect function in my mod to alter some parameters before calling the original?

[hushed field]

you can hook it

[cursive ocean]

please tell me more

[rapid stag]

...anyone?

[twin flicker]

It says line 39, which is the message line

[manic rune]

i dunno, thats out of my field :(

ah, i meant to reply to NopeTooFast

all i can think of is trying to use context.retrigger_joker somehow

[rancid bridge]

trying to make a config for this effect
i am a bit stupid though...

[manic rune]

C:hearts

[rancid bridge]

thank you for pointing that out

[hushed field]

if you set up your joker in the way smods likes it now, you'll luckily not have that issue, then! Lm see if the example mods actually show it properly, or if there are better examples

[manic rune]

{C:inactive}(Currently{} {X:mult,C:white}#X1#{} {C:inactive}Mult)

[digital niche]

is there a page with those "{X:mult}, {C:red}" and examples of things like those you can use?

[hushed field]

haha damn I thought I'd grab an example from my own mod, but the easiest one still does it the old way 🥲

[normal crest]

the first parenthesis won't be gray D:

[ruby delta]

Does anyone know if I could take the whole Balatro game files and upload it on discord (private ofc) so I can use it for personal projects when modding as it would be easier

[manic rune]

kh crap

[radiant plank]

what context should i be running juice_up_until inside? i took it out of the joker_main context but now the card is spazzing haha

[mental nacelle]

i very much enjoy this

[manic rune]

i apologize :3

[normal crest]

also the empty {} is not needed

both ones

[red flower]

any context, what's important is the function you give it for it to stop

[manic rune]

im so used to using it that im unconfident to remove them now

❤️

[normal crest]

Fair

[mental nacelle]

this is the tightest fit i can get that doesnt cover any important information

[red flower]

im an advocate for more {}

[rugged pier]

Hey guys

[radiant plank]

i need the card to still be able to be juiced even within the shop. does this even matter? as i understand it context.joker_main is only used for scoring

should i just do something like if context.cardarea == G.jokers?

[red flower]

anything you do during scoring in calculate will be done at the beginning of scoring unless you use an event

[cursive ocean]

local old = SMODS.calculate_individual_effect

SMODS.calculate_individual_effect = function(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
print("pre calc")
local ret = old(effect, scored_card, key, 123, from_edition)
print("post calc")
return ret
end
works thanks for the hint

[rugged pier]

i am trying to create a new joker that randomly copies the ability of a joker in hand, current implementation does not work, is there something im missing?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.joker_main then
            local joker_list = {}
            for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if v ~= card and v.ability.set == 'Joker' and not v.debuff then
                    table.insert(joker_list, v)
                end
            end
            if #joker_list > 0 then
                local random_joker = joker_list[pseudorandom('tensoon') % #joker_list + 1]
                card.ability.extra.joker = random_joker:get_id()
                card:set_ability(random_joker.ability.set, nil, true)
                card:copy_enhancements(random_joker)
                return {
                    message = localize('k_csmr_copy'),
                    color = G.C.MULT,
                    message_card = card
                }
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            local joker_list = {}
            if card.ability.extra.joker == '' then
                for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                    if v ~= card and v.ability.set == 'Joker' and not v.debuff then
                        table.insert(joker_list, v)
                    end
                end
            else
                if #joker_list > 0 then
                    local random_joker = joker_list[pseudorandom('tensoon') % #joker_list + 1]
                    card.ability.extra.joker = random_joker:get_id()
                    card:set_ability(random_joker.ability.set, nil, true)
                    card:copy_enhancements(random_joker)
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_csmr_copy'),
                        color = G.C.MULT,
                        message_card = card
                    }
                else
                    card.ability.extra.joker = 'Inactive'
                end
            end
        end
    end```

[wintry solar]

What do you possibly need to hook calc effect for

[manic rune]

crap im on phone, cant help this one :(

[rugged pier]

nooooo

[manic rune]

double it and give it to the next person

❤️

[radiant plank]

so if i want the card to stay juiced both inside and outside of scoring, and both inside and outside of the blinds, should i be using an event?

[wintry solar]

No

[rancid bridge]

description is better now
still need to know how i would make a config for this...

[wintry solar]

The function will let the card shake until the other function you pass it is true

[red flower]

again, juice_card_until is active until you tell it to stop so you can start it whenever and end it whenever at any time

[wintry solar]

Or it might be until it’s false, I don’t remember off the top of my head

[red flower]

it's until false because the name cant be logical

[radiant plank]

yeah i understand that, i have the eval function correct but the card spazzes as if multiple calls to juice_up_until are being run. i have the call outside of a context at the moment so this behavior makes sense.

[wintry solar]

Well without knowing your effect it’s impossible to tell you where it should go

[red flower]

maybe you are calling it multiple times

[gleaming summit]

So I'm trying to make a Blueprint clone that changes the target joker after scoring (context.after). When I exit to main menu and come back it seems to forget the value and it replaces it with "MANUAL_REPLACE" and then the game crashes because I'm trying to calculate a nil value.
I saw that vanilla Blueprint and Brainstorm fix this by changing the target every if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN, but this would be executed whenever I do anything and I want it only to change after scoring
Is there any way to fix this? Like some way of detecting when the run is loaded and then resetting the value

[radiant plank]

can i just share the entire calculate function with you? im only calling it once.

[red flower]

go ahead

[radiant plank]

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot" then
      local key = CHB.tarot_key_from_name(context.consumeable.ability.name)
      sendTraceMessage("[doubledipper calculate] - key = '"..key.."'", "DoubledipperLogger")
      if card.ability.extra.tarots_remaining == 0 then
        card.ability.extra.tarots_remaining = card.ability.extra.tarot_dupe_cycle - 1
        if #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
          G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
          G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'before',
            delay = 0.0,
            func = (function()
              local card = create_card('Tarot', G.consumeables, nil, nil, nil, nil, key, 'double')
              card:add_to_deck()
              G.consumeables:emplace(card)
              G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
              return true
            end
          )}))
          return {
            message = "Creation!",
            colour = G.C.RED
          }
        else
          return {
            message = "Oops!",
            colour = G.C.RED
          }
        end
      else
        card.ability.extra.tarots_remaining = card.ability.extra.tarots_remaining - 1
      end
    end
    local juice_eval = function(card) return (card.ability.extra.tarots_remaining == 0) end
    juice_card_until(card, juice_eval, true)
  end

[red flower]

you are not

the function is run in every calculate call

[rugged pier]

bump

[digital niche]

how hard would it be to make a tarot card that you select 2 cards that have enhancements then 1 looses the enhancement and the other one changes to one enhancement based on the one both had?

im guessing a lot?

[rancid bridge]

guess i'll Bump...

[digital niche]

i was thinking of doing something like destroying both cards and adding one with the enhancement to make it easier

[manic rune]

wat r u struggling with

[radiant plank]

yeah that's why i was asking which context makes the most sense to run it in first

[rancid bridge]

i want it to show the xmult it gains and the total xmult it has

[manic rune]

ic

do u have the vars prepared?

[red flower]

well the problem is that you can run it in any context, it would be more helpful if you tell us when you want it to start shaking

[manic rune]

like, is there anything in ur config = {extra = {...}} rn

[rancid bridge]

no

[radiant plank]

sure, the joker's ability is that every fourth tarot card will be duplicated. when the counter is 0 (im counting downwards) i want the card to be juiced showing the next tarot used will be duplicated

[manic rune]

oof

[radiant plank]

this can happen anywhere at any time

[manic rune]

make two then

[hushed field]

In principle, I think you could just rewrite the calculate function there as

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands["Full House"]) then
    return {
      x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
    }
  end
end```

[rancid bridge]

were you talking to me or zebra

[red flower]

then you probably want it here

note the ~= 0

[manic rune]

u

make the vars

[red flower]

bit nicer

[manic rune]

🫵

[red flower]

🫵

[manic rune]

if you are reading this

you are now breathing manually.

[willow void]

hey all, i am attempting to build an idol-like card but cannot find the actual code in the balatro luas. could anyone help me out? i need to recreate the random card effect mostly

[radiant plank]

thanks! this makes sense to me. gonna try it out

[modern kindle]

if you are reading this

owisurgewoirun

[manic rune]

check a random card in G.playing_cards

and grab stuff from there

[radiant plank]

thanks for bearing with me as well lol

[digital niche]

my atlas is not doing anything for some reason?

the image is not showing up

[red flower]

oh i actually reversed the ~= and == because im stupid, it is supposed to be ==
i got caught again by the function being called "until" lol

[manic rune]

if you are reading this

you are now blinking manually.

[radiant plank]

okay so its not just me thinking that naming is reversed lol

[willow void]

how

[digital niche]

if you are reading this

you are now breathing manually

[radiant plank]

i first tried inverting the third argument to false haha

[red flower]

nah its just bad naming

[manic rune]

pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards,pseudoseed("your own seed))

[willow void]

mm

[manic rune]

it grabs a random value from a table, and it remains consistent for the same seed

[willow void]

mkay

[spiral crown]

where am I going wrong? Game crashes upon using a planet card

[rancid bridge]

like i need to define them myself or
-# i am dumb...

[manic rune]

yes

[digital niche]

it looks like youa re using a context for edition not for planet, but i could be wrong

[manic rune]

check whether the card has an edition too

if context.consumeable.edition and ...

[digital niche]

nvm dont hear me just noticed it doent even make sense

my atlas is not adding the image to the enhancementt

[spiral crown]

I'm confused, is if context.consumeable.edition.e_negative not checking whether the consumeable has an edition?

[manic rune]

basically

[normal crest]

without the e_

[manic rune]

if the consumeable doesn't have an edition, then context.consumeable.edition is nil

ur trying to grab stuff from nil

which will result in a crash

[spiral crown]

okay so context.consumeable.edition == nil will perform the same check

[manic rune]

if context.consumeable.edition and context.consumeable.edition.negative and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Planet" then

[twin flicker]

I appreciate your help, now I still cant get the display value in the description to read X3 it still just says Xnil, and the context still isnt working properly, the joker doesnt activate no matter what i think poker_hands["Full House"] was wrong so i tried a few others and i still cant get it to work, i think its just a matter of not having the correct format for the context

[manic rune]

i dont remember if its e_negative or negative actually

[wintry solar]

The e_ is removed iirc

[tall salmon]

does anyone else really struggle getting their lovely tmol patterns to work?
like I copy them straight from the game files and it doesn't find them

i'm wondering if im doing something wrong

[normal crest]

copy from Mods/lovely/dump

[stiff locust]

how do I check what ante it is currently

[normal crest]

Steamodded makes a lot of patches that will change stuff from vanilla code

[normal crest]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante maybe

[tall salmon]

yeah i realized it might be that but i couldn't find any changes to card:is_suit

[hushed field]

the description'll be an error in your loc_vars! and next(context.poker_hands["Full House"]) should work!

[normal crest]

Mods/lovely/dump has the modified source code so you'll easily find what u need to use

[tall salmon]

kk i'll check that

thank you

[spiral crown]

Game no longer crashes upon planet card usage thank you, any idea why the negative copy isn't generated?

[manic rune]

copy_card(context.consumeable)

[normal crest]

you're passing a list of cards to copy_card

[manic rune]

yeah

[rancid bridge]

well i'm trying to be stubborn and not have to define my own vars so i'm trying to find canio's code in the game

[normal crest]

canio is misspelled as caino in the code

[digital niche]

my atlas is not adding the image to the enhancement

[rancid bridge]

that explains some things

[manic rune]

whats so difficult about setting ur own stuff in config extra tho 😭

config = {extra = {currentXMult = 1, XMultIncrease = 0.2,}}

like, that works

[rancid bridge]

oh you meant like that

i thought you meant like actually making my own variables

[manic rune]

💔

anyways, u know how to pass them to loc_vars right?

[rancid bridge]

yeah i think so

[manic rune]

mhm, do it then :3

[spiral crown]

I thought that the local variable "card" was copying the consumeable then having edition set added to deck adn then put into consumables

[stiff locust]

what does this mean chat

[manic rune]

G.consumeables.cards refers to the entire table containing every single consumeable in your area

[manic rune]

play the hand instead

[stiff locust]

i am playing the hand what

[rancid bridge]

this looks right

[manic rune]

and also

please refrain from naming your var as "card"

[manic rune]

dont discard

[normal crest]

it's cuis the function is marked as nodiscard in the lsp defs

it just means, use the return value of the function or u will get a warning

[stiff locust]

so that's not the reason why this code simply is not working

[normal crest]

nop

[stiff locust]

well shit

[normal crest]

would you be able to show your entire code

[manic rune]

i feel like

thats the wrong way to use change_base

isnt it something like 7H (i dont remember) or smt?

[normal crest]

nop

[manic rune]

huh

[normal crest]

that's if you use the vanilla func

smods handles that for u

[manic rune]

icic

[normal crest]

you just pass card, suit, rank

[stiff locust]

i am 1000% getting clowned to hell for the means by which this is coded

[digital niche]

my atlas is not giving me the image

[manic rune]

u sure u set the atlas right

[manic rune]

i will defend u, dw

:3

[digital niche]

99% sure

[manic rune]

send in the code

-# both of u

[manic rune]

andd the enhancement?

[manic rune]

hmmm

show ur Enhanc.png pls

[stiff locust]

intended behaviour is to retrigger aces,2s,3s,4s and 5s (works as expected) but to also half the rank of played 6s,7s,8s,9s and 10s rounded down
i decided to hardcode it to avoid decimal rank shenanigans

[manic rune]

ah, thats the problem

its only x = 0, y = 0

[digital niche]

so in here i change the x and y?

[manic rune]

mhm

[digital niche]

tyy!!

btw how do i know the x and the y?

[stiff locust]

the top left sprite in your sprite sheet is x = 0, y = 0

your sprite sheet is a grid from the top left

increase x by 1 to go right, increase y by 1 to go down

[manic rune]

marie explained it very well :3

[digital niche]

oooh, thought the middle was 0, 0

and i just used what was aleady in there when someone handed me the example coded, also forgot to change

looking a little strange but its already good enough, ty!!

[stiff locust]

those lines might be intended to appear to show the empty space between consumables

they are slightly thinner than jokers but still use the same sprite size

so there is empty space mostly on the sides

[spiral crown]

no dice, though I expect it's because I misunderstood you somehow

[manic rune]

the emplace part

[stiff locust]

the only thing that doesn't work here is changing the card ranks
i've verified that the rest of the code runs as expected with print statements

[digital niche]

so its normal to have it?

[stiff locust]

not in your final version

but as a placeholder it seems useful

[digital niche]

no yeah yeah, that i guessed, its just because i thought it was like a bug or something

and makes sense since im using a consumable placeholder for a enhancement lolll

[stiff locust]

yyyeah that's not a great idea

[digital niche]

figured, but just wanted a random image so i knew it was atleeast working, later ill download the aseprite and make the enhancements

btw what is the playing card size?

[gleaming summit]

Can anyone help? I was thinking of using a global thing like in the castle2 example from the example jokers mod
But I don't know if that would support multiple copies of this joker copying different jokers each

[long sun]

hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaa! how do i add something like the None The Fool has?

[stiff locust]

dynatext

i have no idea what it is

i have no idea how to do it

it made zero sense to me when i tried to learn it

[spiral crown]

my b forgot to replace the variable, still doesn't function though

[stiff locust]

all I know is that dynatext does that apparently

[long sun]

right

[manic rune]

main_end stuff

[manic rune]

i don't have access to my pc rn, so i cant check how copy_card works :(

[normal crest]

your ifs are wrong

on your first one you have if repetition and g.play stuff

[manic rune]

i hope that u will receive help from other people about that though, i tried my best 💔

sorry

[normal crest]

then in the case that that is not true you check if repetition and g.play

so the ifs inside the else block never execute

[spiral crown]

Don't be sorry, I appreciate all of the assistance you got me much further than I was!

[digital niche]

ok so how do i make a wild card

[stiff locust]

they do execute though

[digital niche]

does someone have an example code for wild card? i cant find it in the balatro files

[stiff locust]

the first if checks if context.repetition and cardarea and then checks the ranks of cards
the second checks if context.repetition and cardarea and then checks for different ranks

putting print statements before the rank changing events prints them out as expected

i'm probably gonna clean up the code anyway, but that is not the issue

the rank changing code is running but not changing the ranks

[normal crest]

Oh I didn't see the last and

Oh you know what it is

context changed by the time your event runs

so you gotta store a reference to context.other_card

[stiff locust]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

that makes sense

i'll move the effect to context.after and use ipairs to go through the cards then

[rose dragon]

i'm looking at the balatro source code rn
put in your loc_vars function this:

main_end = {
  {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "bm", padding = 0.02}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "m", colour = BACKGROUND_COLOR_YOU_WANT_TO_SET_IT_TO, r = 0.05, padding = 0.05}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = ' '..TEXT_YOU_WANT_TO_SET_IT_TO..' ', colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.3, shadow = true}},
    }}
  }}
}

replace BACKGROUND_COLOR_YOU_WANT_TO_SET_IT_TO with the background color (ex. G.C.GREEN, G.C.MULT, etc.) and replace TEXT_YOU_WANT_TO_SET_IT_TO with the string of text you'd like it to display

edit: put main_end in your return statement

[stiff locust]

that'll be far cleaner in execution anyhow

[long sun]

grand, thanks!

[digital niche]

does someone have an example code for wild card? i cant find it in the balatro files

[hushed field]

it's not set up in a single place, due to the way vanilla is set up

but you can find code related to it by looking for 'm_wild' in the sc

[normal crest]

Are you making an enhancement that works like wild cards

[digital niche]

yeah its basically a wild card+bonus

[stiff locust]

got it working again

[digital niche]

it works as any suit and gives +30 chip

[digital niche]

tyty!

[stiff locust]

this code is so much cleaner now too

[normal crest]

add any_suit = true to your enhancement definition

[digital niche]

oh, just that?

[normal crest]

yes

[digital niche]

easier than i thought

do i add it like under the "no_suit = false"?

[normal crest]

where'd you get no_suit from

Oh I see

[digital niche]

its because i got the template im using from an example

it was true and i changed to false

[normal crest]

just add it wherever yeah

as long as it's in your definition

[normal crest]

you can also just remove it

[digital niche]

okok! ty!

i was just about to ask that loll

it had "always score", "no suit" and "no rank", i removed the three of them

it was kind of a stone like card in the example

[rose dragon]

is there a way to make it so that the repeat doesn't score first and goes after the card behind it?

if pre ~= nil then
  local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, pre, context)
  if ret then should = true SMODS.calculate_effect(ret, card) end
end
if should then return {} end

[twin flicker]

I've got the joker to proc during the correct times finally but the value that it multiplies by and the value displayed in the joker description still read Xnil, any help? Heres the code:

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'test_joker',
loc_txt = {
name = 'testJoker',
text = {
"{X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult if played",
"hand contains",
"a {C:attention}Full House{}"
}
},
blueprint_compat = true,
perishable_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
rarity = 3,
atlas = "Modded_Jokers",
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
cost = 10,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
config = { extra = { Xmult = 3 } },
local_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands["Full House"]) then
        return {
            message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } },
            Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult
        }
    end
end

}

[digital niche]

how do i make something that have a chance of happening when card is playing?

like a glass card

[twin flicker]

You have to define odds in ur config and then include something like this in the loc_vars,

(G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds

At least I think, theres more to the calculate part but i think thats the start, im very new to this so take it with a grain of salt plz lmao

[digital niche]

tyty!

[spiral crown]

anyone know if there is any documentation for copy_card?

[normal crest]

you have commas at the end of your line

which should not be there

you're using copy_card properly

[digital niche]

how do i make the event occurs when card played?

[maiden phoenix]

In the source code yea

[spiral crown]

then maybe I should be using something else, I removed the commas still not functioning as I thought it would, trying to copy a planet card being used

[maiden phoenix]

The way you coded it, your consumable must have an edition to proc

Your context check should go like ```lua
if (not context.edition or (context.edition and not context.edition.negative)) and...

[spiral crown]

I totally missed that, thank you will change it now

[digital niche]

does this work?

[normal crest]

by not working what do you mean exactly

be specific

is ther an error

[twin flicker]

So i finally figured out how to get my card to show 3X mult in its description in the collections but when I go in game now it just goes back to Xnil, any ideas?

[spiral crown]

well after the changes SDM recommended it crashes and I get the following error, my mod code for context

[rapid stag]

still looking for help on this

i think i need to know a bit more about what happens when you play a hand so that i can properly retrigger a joker

[rancid bridge]

what makes it worse is that i was listening to beethoven: 7th symphony, 2nd movement: allegretto from ultrakill while looking for caino in the code to help me out
it felt like my brain was begging me to just stop and give up

[rose dragon]

bump

[hushed field]

can you show your code?

[normal crest]

Instead of doing == nil or == false do not context.consumeable.edition

[digital niche]

i have the part of the card breaking, but how do i change the chance?

[chrome widget]

I have a wonderful shader effect now and I can't use it until I somehow figure out how to make the transform projection thing not weird

[spiral crown]

I tried that as well and got the same error

[maiden phoenix]

I recreated the calculate function more properly and it works fine on my side

if context.using_consumeable then
            if (not context.consumeable.edition or (context.consumeable.edition and not context.consumeable.edition.negative)) and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Planet" then
                ...
            end
        end

[humble girder]

yo whoever's got experience with the new blind calc can you give me a rundown, i can't find quick evidence of it existing

[maiden phoenix]

But yea it's prob one of those screwing you over

[twin flicker]

[maiden phoenix]

Can you show your joker/card's loc_vars and config?

[normal crest]

what would the new blind calc be, from what I know trigger_effect got deprecated but that's it

[hushed field]

for future reference, if you wrap your code in three backticks (`) on each side, you'll get a codeblock

[maiden phoenix]

Oh it's right there

[humble girder]

oh, i found it, it's Blind:<>() calling SMODS.calculate_context, i thought blinds were receiving contexts now

okay so i kinda wanna make this two-way and give blinds a proper calculate() 🤔

[hushed field]

delete the joker you have in your run, and spawn in a new one

[twin flicker]

u mean in my actual ide? or formatting for copy paste on disc

[hushed field]

does that work?

[hushed field]

on discord!

[maiden phoenix]

In discord you can do something like this

Makes the code less of an eyesore to look at

[normal crest]

Did you start a new run

[twin flicker]

I was wondering how you guys were doing that, thank you

trying a new run now

[hushed field]

when I started my mod last month, it took me a two hour bug fixing session to realize that if you change anything in your config, the joker in an existing run won't update, haha

[humble girder]

consider this:

every time you set_ability() a card (ie. a card appears in the shop or wherever)

the center config is copied to card.ability

[spiral crown]

Figured it out, set_edition didn't like e_negative once I changed it to negative the joker works as intended

[humble girder]

so of course if you then go in your code and change the center, that won't change the values in your save file

[maiden phoenix]

You can try taking ownership of the red seal and add a calculate function, I'm not too knowledgable on seals tho but I'd recommend looking at this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Seal

[twin flicker]

LMAO thanks for saving me that time, it seems like it works great thanks guys appreaciate your help

[rapid stag]

tried that. the calculate function on the seal is never called

[humble girder]

card manipulation functions are kind of dumb

set_ability wants a center

set_seal wants a key

[maiden phoenix]

calculate_seal doesn't have what you're trying to return I think

[humble girder]

set_edition works with a key, or a stupid edition table {negative = true} but not a center

c o n s i s t e n c y

[maiden phoenix]

I think Cryptid made red seal retriggering Jokers work tho

[digital niche]

how do i chance chances in cards like glass

[radiant plank]

how do i go about handling suit conversion like a 'The Moon' card would? can't find a reference in the source.

[hushed field]

check out how the game uses G.GAME.probabilities.normal in the source code, and that'll probably give you some insight!

[digital niche]

tyy!

[hushed field]

all the suit conversion tarots use a generic piece of code. If you go through the code looking by 'Suit Conversion', I think you'll find it!

[maiden phoenix]

Look for the function change_suit

[gleaming summit]

please how do I fix this

[maiden phoenix]

? What's that

[gleaming summit]

hold on let me find my message

[wintry solar]

set_ability works with a key

[gleaming summit]

this

[humble girder]

oh?

[gleaming summit]

I've changed a few things ever since I sent that message
now I'm using a random value being set in init_game_object

[maiden phoenix]

Have you tried saving said value inside the config table?

[gleaming summit]

like in the config = {} of the joker?

[maiden phoenix]

Yes

[humble girder]

has this been a thing forever?

ah

Eremel, last month

correction: it didn't work when I started modding 😄

[gleaming summit]

it starts at nil (extra.joker) and then gets set to G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.bootleg_joker.joker every time calculate is ran

[wintry solar]

yeah I got sick of having to correct people's usage of it to use the centers

it makes more sense to take a key imo

[humble girder]

yeah everything working with keys would be ideal

[radiant plank]

not seeing it yet, combing through files lol

[digital niche]

i wish there was one of that example "ModdedVanilla" for the enhancements because god how hard is it being to understand the glass card

[next timber]

how do you retrigger a joker from a seal? i have ```lua
SMODS.optional_features.retrigger_joker = true

```lua
if context.retrigger_joker_check then
  return {
    repetitions = 1,
    card = G.jokers.cards[1]
  }
end
``` and its not doing anything

[maiden phoenix]

Can I see your Joker's whole code?

[wintry solar]

that's not how to set up the optinal_features

[gleaming summit]

#2# and #3# are just there to debug
those are the things that showed up in the screenshot I took

[normal crest]

You should do SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { retrigger_joker = true }

[wintry solar]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        retrigger_joker = true,
    }
end```

[normal crest]

why bother with a function tho

does it make any difference

[humble girder]

imma just quickly sweep this under a rug
SMODS.optional_features.cardareas.unscored = true

[next timber]

and is the rest of the code fine?

[humble girder]

it does if SMODS is trying to call it

[normal crest]

smods checks if it's a function or a table

i dunno why, but it does

[digital niche]

i give up

[normal crest]

looks fine at a glance

[wintry solar]

oh I didnt realise it accepted just a table

[rose dragon]

bump

[next timber]

hm, doesn't seem to be working

[maiden phoenix]

It's quite a big code but at first glance there seems to be a lot of unrequired stuff?

[next timber]

i have a print("retrigger") in the if context.retrigger_joker_check then and its not firing

[maiden phoenix]

Would take a me a while to go trough them, can I send you a friend req so I don't bloat this channel?

[gleaming summit]

Sure

[normal crest]

Try starting a new run

[next timber]

i did

i always start new runs when debugging

[normal crest]

Hmm, I had the same issue but I don't remember what I did besides that

If you have debugplus try printing SMODS.optional_features

[scarlet spire]

what does "removing playing cards" actually mean for context.remove_playing_cards? can I use that to destroy cards when they're discarded?

[wintry solar]

no

that's to see which cards have been removed

[normal crest]

To do thar you use context.discard and return {remove = true}

[scarlet spire]

ah okay, discarding context can return remove as well

missed that bit

[next timber]

it says retrigger_joker is true

when and where exactly does context.retrigger_joker_check fire? because this is on a seal right now

[normal crest]

Here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/utils.lua#L1449

[wintry solar]

seals should calculate that fine

[next timber]

have i made some sort of syntax error?

[maiden phoenix]

Try context.retrigger_joker instead?

[next timber]

nope

[signal oak]

yo can anyone help me set up the balatro mod stuff? i know some lua and wanna try and add my own jokers but i dont actually know what i have to do to like add them to the game

[maiden phoenix]

If you debug the context value inside calculate but outside your if, which context shows up?

[rapid stag]

i'm basically trying to do the same thing and i get this. it does the message but no actual retriggering of anything

[maiden phoenix]

Those will help
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[next timber]

well that just kinda floods the console with a bunch of context tables at every step of scoring

hang on im setting up a debug to only print the keys

ok thats still a lot of keys but it looks like from card select to card played and new cards drawn, im getting modify_scoring_hand, debuff_hand, press_play, stay_flipped?, modify_scoring_hand 2 more times, debuff_hand again, before, modify_hand, main_scoring, repetition, final_scoring_step, destroying_card, after, and then after that is all stuff from discarding the played hand and drawing a new one

so no joker retriggering events in sight

[chrome widget]

crawling out of shader hell yet again with cuts and bruises and my clothes slightly on fire: stand auras

[next timber]

how the hell did you make shaders bigger than the card

teach me your witchcraft

also teach me your witchcraft in general those look awesome

[chrome widget]

Actually making shader stuff larger than the card requires vertex transformations that I'm less familiar with, so right now this is a pixel shader just with a larger sprite itself that has a lot of negative space

Only downside is that the vertex projection cards do already doesn't really work in combination so I had to tone it down to not look awkward

It's passable but admittedly I would've preferred to be able to at least do the offsetting cards do as they get farther from the screen center more accurately to the base card

[normal crest]

How did you end up managing to remove the evolved type from the collection?

And I see you weren't able to do the voucher thing

[hushed briar]

anyone have an idea of how i might go about hooking a function from a mod with higher priority than mine? trying to add compatibility with a mod that currently can cause a crash when used with mine

[chrome widget]

Just haven't gotten to it yet

[normal crest]

Uhm, you could lovely patch I guess

[chrome widget]

All stands are part of the Stand set, and then I made separate pools for regular and Evolved Stands. So I can directly access one from those pools if I need to get them randomly, but for the purposes of vouchers that make Stands and Evolved Stands purchasable in the shop, it spawns from the main Stand pool and then the two types have hidden rarities

[zealous glen]

How did you make the shader extend beyond the card?

[chrome widget]

So the first voucher sets the base stand rarity rate above 0, and the upgraded voucher sets the evolved stand rarity rate above 0

[modern kindle]

Winter hi :D

[hushed briar]

that was my initial thought but after searching this server is sounds like patching other mods doesnt work properly on mac

[chrome widget]

The sprite the shader is drawn on is like 79x165 or so, and the sprite is only in the bottom middle, so it just uses the empty space around the card. Am not doing vertex shader stuff....... yet

Also hi dilly!! Did you figure out the blind you were struggling with?

[normal crest]

In that case you could patch SMODS to do something after all mods are loaded

Unless that also doesn't work on mac

[modern kindle]

I did :)

[chrome widget]

!!!!!

[zealous glen]

I don't think in theory you need vertex, just a bigger canvas.

[zealous glen]

what blind

[modern kindle]

Alot of stuff I struggle with gets solved after I sleep
Unfortunately I only slept until like 3 am, then was up to like 6 or 7 lmao

[chrome widget]

Yikes. Get some damn sleep

[zealous glen]

have any of you added a new context in a way that automatically handles the calculation?

[rugged pier]

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            local joker_list = {}
            for i,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if v.ability.name ~= 'Tensoon' and v.config.center.blueprint_compat then
                    joker_list[#joker_list + 1] = v
                end
            end
            if #joker_list > 0 then
                card.ability.extra.copying = pseudorandom_element(joker_list,pseudoseed('Tensoon'))
            end
        end
        local other_joker = card.ability.extra.copying
        if other_joker ~= nil then
            context.blueprint = (context.blueprint and (context.blueprint + 1)) or 1
            local copy_return = other_joker:calculate_joker(context)
            if copy_return then
                return other_joker:calculate_joker(context)
            end
        end
    end

crashing the game with a stack overflow error with this joker...didnt even know this was possible

can someone have a look?

[modern kindle]

Oh it's just one that is an inside joke in a friend server
We have a whole thing about doing a dice roll against a specific person who has the role 'hand of the high roller' and if you lose you get kicked
If you win nothing happens

So I made a blind that rolls against you
If you roll higher, you gain you normal score
If the blind wins the roll the scored hand value gets subtracted from your total chips

[normal crest]

SMODS.calculate_context does that

[zealous glen]

But not if I pass a return table

[ivory coral]

hello chat
Currently making some jokers that interact with current game chips and the sort, and because i use talisman i've only just learned that to_number() isnt a vanilla thing and will crash the game if talisman isnt installed, but it also has to be included if it is installed or it crashes, is there a way to make these work together? I dont really want to make my mod either incompatible with or dependent on talisman

[radiant plank]

how would i go about creating a suit based joker like Ancient Joker? i see that ancient joker has a G.GAME.current_round.ancient_card.suit but im not sure exactly where i would want to be setting this for my own card.

[zealous glen]

to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end

[rose dragon]

bump

[zealous glen]

check out the Castle example in the example mods

[radiant plank]

thanks!

will do

[zealous glen]

I don't understand what you're asking

[radiant plank]

wait where can i find this? is it on the smods wiki or in here?

[rugged pier]

bump, trying to create a joker that randomly copies another joker every round

[normal crest]

Are you sure, looking at the function it looks like it just calculates each area regardless of if you pass a 2nd argument

[ivory coral]

aaah thats smart thank you

[rose dragon]

ok so during scoring, the card that it's copying (the joker on the right) triggers first, instead of it going left to rightr

[zealous glen]

well, I've put a message and I didn't get any message

[modern kindle]

If you go to the smods repos you should be able to find the example mods

[normal crest]

Oh

[radiant plank]

okay thanks

[normal crest]

Wait can you show where you used calculate_context and where you put the message?

[modern kindle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples
For ease

[zealous glen]

@normal crest

example

[normal crest]

Oh I see, this is what smods does if you don't pass a return table

[mental nacelle]

does anyone happen to know where the deck object in the corner of the game is stored

[normal crest]

and the effects are put into the return_table if you pass one

instead of being calculated like that

[normal crest]

Tho, correct me if I'm wrong, but instead of passing a return table couldn't you store the return value of calculate_context and check if that has repetitions

[trail arrow]

so, i'm wanting to make a new card modifier, looked around the docs a bit but there seems to be nothing for easily adding a new card mod

[long sun]

hiiiiii question! G.GAME.last_spectral is always nil, do you know why?

[gilded narwhal]

hey gang does steamodded have a way to tell if a certain joker is +mult or +chips

I want to have a joker that makes either +chips or +mult more likely to appear

[rugged pier]

bump again

[rapid stag]

@next timber ...did you figure out how to make red seals work on jokers

[normal crest]

not really

[gilded narwhal]

would I just have to manually make a list then

[normal crest]

pretty much, but your mod won't be very compatible with other mods

[zealous glen]

I don't know, can I?

[normal crest]

looking at SMODS It looks like you should, but I haven't tested

[long sun]

aha no nevermind, it works now!! :D

[sturdy compass]

That seems like a lot of event managers

Lmao

[sturdy compass]

A random joker in your joker hand?

[rugged pier]

yup

[sturdy compass]

If you’d like you can check how I do it with my Zombie Joker. It’s a little different since it’s a global target and not on a per-card basis, but it could pretty easily be adapted to do that I think

[rugged pier]

yes please

id love that

[next timber]

Wasnt a red seal but no anyways

[rugged pier]

where can i find your joker

[rose dragon]

bump

[zealous glen]

@normal crest It only seems to return {calculate = true}

couldn't you mass produce the soul/blackhole if you use shard and have perkeo?

[long sun]

exactly :D

it's added to the pool by a particular deck, hold on

for some reason i'm really struggling to hook into smods functions

im doing this as a test but can still play flushes and such

[trail arrow]

bump

[rose dragon]

you mean edition?

[long sun]

i'm guessing they mean enhancement

[trail arrow]

nope

[tall salmon]

my guess was a new kind of those

different from enhancement and edition

[zealous glen]

replacing small and big blinds with boss blinds

[trail arrow]

new effect thing different from editions or enhancements

[long sun]

ah icic

[trail arrow]

want to add card conditions, so like a scratch or card errors (like misprint, but expanded upon and available for any joker)

or car for that matter

[tall salmon]

the only thing that comes to mind right now is the little thingy that the "seed" code card in cryptid gives your jokers

[rose dragon]

if you're doing that then i would recommend checking aikos mod source code
they added scrabble words/letters that are different to editions and enhancements (but can't be applied to joker cards)
i would also recommend this for drawing things on it, you could store the modifier in the card.ability and check for it in the drawstep
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DrawStep

[trail arrow]

oh yep

[tall salmon]

am i being stupid here somehow?

i can't figure out why this wouldn't work

[analog pilot]

clips from bunco(?) are that exactly, I’d look into that

[analog pilot]

I might also make it possible to appear in shop tbh

[zealous glen]

Paperback

also I think Clips are Seals

[analog pilot]

are they considered seals?

didn’t know that

and idk why I thought they were from bunco lol, I use a lot of vanilla-esque mods so

[zealous glen]

I think so

[analog pilot]

yeah they’re from paperback. odd

The forum tool on discord is terrible, so missing anything is not the user's fault 😋

[long sun]

i'm back :D how do i only add a consumable to the pool if you're using a certain deck?

Use the in_pool func to check for the deck type

[long sun]

thanks :D

ah wait, how do i check for the current deck?

actually no wait lemme try that first

i might know

[normal crest]

they're stickers

[analog pilot]

ah ok

[normal crest]

the only reason they're stickers is so that they can be applied on top of everything else

[zealous glen]

Me when I spread misinformation:

[radiant plank]

im trying to hook Game:init_game_object and generate a pseudorandom value within the function. unfortunately i keep accessing G.GAME while its nil. how do i get around this?

[normal crest]

otherwise they'd have to replace something

[long sun]

okay i can't find it — how do i get the current deck?

[radiant plank]

here's what i have

local init_game_object_hook = Game.init_game_object
function Game:init_game_object()
  local ret = init_game_object_hook(self)

  -- initialize with a random suit
  local suits = {'Spades', 'Clubs', 'Diamonds', 'Hearts'}
  local suit = pseudorandom_element(suits, pseudoseed('bc'))

  ret.current_round.bluecrystal_card = { suit = suit }
  return ret
end

[hushed field]

I don't know the exact syntax, but you wanna check for the current back

[long sun]

ah, thanks :D

searching for back granted G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key :D

[zealous glen]

Not if they were something new

[normal crest]

Yeaaah but then I'd have to patch/hook all the calculations in

Even the ui generation

All of that is already done with stickers so I didn't see the benefit of reinventing the wheel

[hushed field]

Stickers are the easiest way to set things like that up, honestly. Them being stackable really helps

[zealous glen]

automatic sticker placement when

[digital niche]

can someone tell me if this is right?

[zealous glen]

Actually I discovered earlier SMODS has a function to decide if a card is shatterable or not

[digital niche]

how do i make this?

[narrow iron]

what does balatro use for its shaders for the card editions? like foil and holo

[zealous glen]

SMODS.shatters

[zealous glen]

what do you mean

[chrome widget]

Hmm............

[digital niche]

thanks

[chrome widget]

strangely, trying to set stands appearing in the shop is resulting in only Jimbo appearing

the base rate field is not working as intended

[zealous glen]

This must be the work of an enemy Stand!

[narrow iron]

like the shaders are a .fs file with code in it but what language is the code in?

[zealous glen]

… Sorry

[zealous glen]

It's a modification of GLSL

You can check the SMODS wiki for references

[chrome widget]

Damn......

[narrow iron]

thanks!

[digital niche]

is there a way to chance the chance?

[zealous glen]

wha

[digital niche]

change the chance*

[normal crest]

SMODS.shatters just returns if the card should visually shatter like glass when destroyed

[digital niche]

oooh

[normal crest]

not if it should be destroyed in the first place

[digital niche]

is there a SMODS for being destroyed?

[zealous glen]

a what

[normal crest]

idk what you mean

[digital niche]

like

to say the card can be destroyed

like, it haves a chance of being destroyed

[zealous glen]

There is a calculation context where effects can determine if a card should be destroyed with the timing of Glass cards

[digital niche]

how do i make that? ive been trying since like 7pm and now is 9pm

i looked at the vanilla balatro code and at mods codes and i still dont understand

[tall salmon]

bumping this because i'm completely out of ideas

[normal crest]

are you making a joker that has a chance to destroy cards?

[zealous glen]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

[digital niche]

no no, a enhancement that have a chance to be destroyyed like glass cards

[zealous glen]

context.destroy_card

[digital niche]

tyy!

[digital niche]

its basically a glass card that gives Xchips instead of Xmult

[normal crest]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and pseudorandom('glass') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra then
        return { remove = true }
    end
end,

this is how glass cards are destroyed when played ingame (this is how SMODS takes ownership of them anyway)

[digital niche]

tyyy

how do i like change the probability of this happening?

[zealous glen]

this is unrelated but it's Brazilian Miku Joker

[digital niche]

BRAZIL MENTIONED🔥🔥🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥

[tall salmon]

change card.ability.extra

[zealous glen]

a number to go in the denominator (for the above card it's card.ability.extra)

-# well you can multiply the numerator too, but they're essentially equivalent

[digital niche]

so i need to do something like ```

card.ability.extra = 1/3```
if i wanted to be a chance of 1 in 3 or something different?

[tall salmon]

yo that's sick

she's so pretty

[tall salmon]

just 3

[normal crest]

no, just replace "card.ability.extra" with the number, if it was 1 in 15 you'd put 15

[tall salmon]

it gets divided after

[digital niche]

oh okok, ty so much, ive been stuck in this for hours

[normal crest]

Ideally you define the value in your config, but for now do it like that

[digital niche]

if i wanted in the description to do like that red box id use {X:mult,C:white}, if i wanted to do it but about Xchips would it just be {X:chips,C:white} ?

[zealous glen]

Thanks

[tall salmon]

steamodded itself doesn't have a priority does it?

like i can't be loading my mod before it

[chrome widget]

So this is the consumable type I made for my Stands, but for some reason every time I pass "Stand" into create_card(), it returns Jimbo as if the pool is empty?

for i, v in ipairs(items_to_load['Stand']) do stand_map[v] = true end
SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = 'Stand',
    primary_colour = G.C.STAND,
    secondary_colour = G.C.STAND,
    collection_rows = { 8, 8 },
    shop_rate = 100,
    default = "c_stand_star",
    prefix_config = false,
    rarities = {
        {key = 'StandNormal'},
        {key = 'StandEvolved'},
    },
    cards = stand_map,
    can_stack = false,
    can_divide = false,
    inject_card = function(self, center)
        local pool_key = center.config.evolved and 'EvolvedPool' or 'StandPool'
        SMODS.insert_pool(G.P_CENTER_POOLS[pool_key], center)
    end
}```

[zealous glen]

did you try to append your mod's key

[chrome widget]

prefix_config is set to false so I shouldn't need to?

[digital niche]

what is the thing i use for green text? like in the "1 in 4" in the glass card description

[plush cove]

{C:green}

[digital niche]

oh, tyty!

[normal crest]

shouldn't you pass 'StandPool' instead

[plush cove]

for future reference, if there's a colour you want to get, go into the balatro localization (accessible via 7Zip), Ctrl+F to a card that has that colour, and copy what it says

cus you're overriding inject_card

[chrome widget]

'StandPool' is what I use specifically for unevolved Stands

[normal crest]

yeah you're not actually injecting the card into the Stand pool

cus you override it

[chrome widget]

Oh I see

[normal crest]

add SMODS.ObjectType.inject_card(self, center) at the start of inject_card

[chrome widget]

Thanks!!

lesgoooo, finally god

now just more 32 enhancements to go 😀

[chrome widget]

Hmm still not working, seemingly

But it does seem to correctly add cards to StandPool

[gleaming summit]

hey sorry to bother you but did you ever find out how to save tables so that they don't get replaced?
I'm having the same issue because I'm trying to save the data of a joker (which is a table) into an ability.extra variable

[normal crest]

Try removing the cards field

I believe every consumable with the set = 'Stand' will automatically be added

[fallen tendon]

how can you get the key of the current blind from G.GAME.blind?

[normal crest]

G.GAME.blind.config.center.key

I think

[chrome widget]

Tried that too, and they're still correctly added to the other pools

[normal crest]

The issue here is you're trying to save an entire joker object

[gleaming summit]

Is there any variable that I could use to identify that specific joker that isn't the position?

[normal crest]

you could add a variable to that specific joker's ability table that you look for in your code

but you have to carefully manage that to ensure that there aren't multiple copies of it at once

[chrome widget]

Looks like the pool is correctly populated so it's some other bizarre issue

Gonna have to debug create_card itself

[normal crest]

try

SMODS.add_card { set = 'Stand' }

that still calls create_card tho

but just in case

[chrome widget]

I can definitely try it, but I'm using the built-in support for setting an appearance rate for a consumable type, so I can do that for one of my consumables that creates a Stand, but I don't think I should need to patch the create_card_for_shop() function

[manic rune]

whats the pool for all blinds in the game

G.P_CENTER.Blind or smt?

🤔

[chrome widget]

So trying SMODS.add_card{ set = 'Stand' } didn't just create Jimbo, it apparently also created a ghost card

[normal crest]

Hmm
