[keen tiger]

okay, so this works but it also triggers on the intro

[iron haven]

hmm

[keen tiger]

is that enough to get balatro in an initialized state?

i want to make sure that if i i.e programmatically launch a game im launching it in a well formed state

[red flower]

im not sure, you can check Game:main_menu

[keen tiger]

idk what initialization balatro needs at first

[iron haven]

?

[red flower]

Game:splash_screen too

[keen tiger]

are they functions or variables?

[red flower]

not for you

[red flower]

functions, they're in game.lua

[keen tiger]

ah ok

[red flower]

i mean actually reading them not checking for them

[stark geode]

trying to compile asprite got me installing a ms c++ compiler

[iron haven]

I don't know because this is my first time doing this.

[stark geode]

all this to save 20 dollars

[red flower]

never made a malverk texture so I can't really help with that

[keen tiger]

oh wait i can just also check for !splash

[iron haven]

Who does?

[red flower]

maybe try here https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1300851004186820690

[old bane]

is there a way to make it so that when you play, you don't lose one of your remaining hands? or would it just be easier to give yourself a hand whenever you play one

[storm wharf]

do i need loc_vars for a retriggering card?

[iron haven]

tried it in there.

waiting

[glad osprey]

why this no work :(

[storm wharf]

can anyone explain why this shows the message but doesn't repeat the score?

[red flower]

you need to define it in G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS for that

[glad osprey]

agh

where do i do that

[red flower]

i recommend using SMODS.Gradient instead of patching tho, it also automatically adds it to loc_colours

[glad osprey]

oh neato

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

i think it needs to be in context.repetition

[glad osprey]

now what

i promise i am typically this stupid

[red flower]

i think it's modprefix_key

[glad osprey]

still no

its not in G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS

[glass scaffold]

help. pls.

[red flower]

what smods version do you have?
it worked for me but it needed to be in lowercase

[glad osprey]

what needed to be in lowercase?

[red flower]

the key

[glad osprey]

0315b

[red flower]

it was added in 0323a

[stark geode]

i caved and paid for asperite

[manic rune]

rq whats the sprite size of blind icon

[sturdy compass]

Show your card code

[glass scaffold]

This was using a basic card.

[red flower]

34x34 i think

[glad osprey]

in that case how do i add it manually

[manic rune]

much love from Andrew tate ❤️

[glad osprey]

waitnvrem

i cant count

[red flower]

you can update smods or do this

[glass scaffold]

Here's the crash log.

[glad osprey]

yea no it works now i just cannot count

[red flower]

i do not want love from tate thank you

[sturdy compass]

Wait are you a mod dev? If not I don't think you're in the right spot

[granite bane]

what would the SMODS.add_card be for creating a random playing card?

[sturdy compass]

...I may have just 98%-ed myself 😭

[glass scaffold]

I made mods for the old-calc version

[glad osprey]

not that

[red flower]

it doesnt support playing cards

[granite bane]

ah

[glad osprey]

create_playing_cards is what i use

idk if theres a better one tho

[granite bane]

what would the create_playing_card( ) be to just make a random card

[glad osprey]

just that iirc

[granite bane]

do I have to manually create random functions for every element

oh

[glad osprey]

dont quote me tho

[red flower]

i think you need to create a random for each element, but try that and see if it works

[glad osprey]

can i actually do this or will it just not work

the x<y<z

[red flower]

i dont think so

[glad osprey]

not tonumber

shit

[granite bane]

you can just use and

[red flower]

heres my code for it https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/afd2ccbcfc78f34f7d15a559bbf60f94de97afb9/src/effects.lua#L167

[glad osprey]

yea no you dont neet to do anything

just keeping it empty works

[red flower]

oh nice

idk why vanilla does it that way then

[glad osprey]

"my code" "vanilla"

[red flower]

i think you can infer that i copied it from vanilla code

[glad osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-yachty-censored-not-drake-tech-support-gif-8658410013845332703

[granite bane]

no it doesn't seem to

game crashes

[iron haven]

hmm

[granite bane]

maybe not let me check wwith something else

[red flower]

yeah it works for me but doesn't emplace it unless you do create_playing_card(nil, G.hand)

[glad osprey]

G.hand can be any card area btw

[granite bane]

how do you make it only go in hand?

[glad osprey]

G.hand

[granite bane]

Oh you meant you can replace that with any card area

[glad osprey]

yea

[granite bane]

I thought you were saying that can appear in any hand and I was confused lol

[glad osprey]

hmmmmmmmmm

[granite bane]

Anything is an exaggeration cause it's not a complete meme joker (if it were fully a meme joker I'd have 'anything' include, say, instantly winning the blind, or crashing the game), but it can do a lot of different things

[manic rune]

im sad that u dont use {C:dark_edition,E:2} 💔

[granite bane]

huh?

[iron haven]

What is wrong? Why doesn't it load?

[granite bane]

why doesn't what load

[glad osprey]

for the anything text replace the colour for it with that

[granite bane]

oh nice

[glad osprey]

we got url files now??????

[iron haven]

this is the error message

[manic rune]

whats your code

[iron haven]

alttexture.lua is this

[quartz ravine]

Had some random inspiration!

[stark geode]

What if

Exodia balatro

[manic rune]

yugioh mod vs THE yugioh mod...

[quartz ravine]

Yeah I should have put that on my Ghost Rare or Secret Rare decks, instead of my own custom edition

[quartz ravine]

Get all five joker pieces and then just auto win everything, lol. Or maybe it retrigger all cards five times, to make it less op

[red flower]

someone did an exodia mod

[stark geode]

Draw all parts of exodia into your hand wins the bilnd

[quartz ravine]

🆙 btw if folks haven't tried it, his/her mod is amazing!

[iron haven]

hmm

[quartz ravine]

oh cool, instead of doing exodia as jokers, do it as custom card enhancements

[heavy hare]

what is the way to access nodes in a global UI element? i have UI elements in a table, and i want to remove the table nodes to remove the Sprites that are in them.

 local node = {n=G.UIT.R, config={align="cm",maxw=4, maxh=0.5},nodes={
    -- animated sprite nodes go here
  }}

-- the UIE is a UIT.ROOT node
G.HUD_blind_tracker:add_child(node, G.HUD_blind_tracker:get_UIE_by_ID('blind_tracker'))

there will be 3 subnodes in the node object and i want to update them in another function. how do i access them?

[iron haven]

Can someone help with me?

lovely, malverk, and steamodded should be in the Balatro mod folder?

[quartz ravine]

Yep! You should have Lovely's version.dll in the install directory for Balatro, and your mod content + steammodded should be in the mods folder

[iron haven]

It is.

[iron haven]

check the code

for AltTexture.lua

[quartz ravine]

Try taking your content and copy and paste it somewhere safe. Then delete from the mod folder and restart Balatro to see if it still errors. Try to isolate the problem

[old dirge]

instead of mult gain

how do i make my base mult become multiplied

[iron haven]

nothing

it has to do with the files somehow

What file is it?

hmm

FoxDeploy?

[iron haven]

WHat should I do next?

[quartz ravine]

step 1 : move your files out
step 2 : does it still crash?
step 3 : move your stuff back in bit by bit
step 4 : eventually you will uncover exactly when the crash comes back

now you know where to look

[iron haven]

Malverk-main

that's the file but where in the file?

[iron haven]

Malverk-main is the file

but where in the file, FoxDeploy?

hmmmm

I don't know. what, do you know FoxDeploy?

or someone else

[granite bane]

okay so would making a random rare joker be SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker", rarity = 3})

or is there a specific set for rare jokers

[quartz ravine]

I don't know Malverk, sorry.

But try to see if Malverk itself works without changes

[iron haven]

So it is the code I added.

[iron haven]

that's what is wrong.

the code I added.

[quartz ravine]

The error message implies that somewhere, you're not returning a table valu, but instead a string

here's the difference

lua
local iAmAString = "my strval"
local table = {"hello}

[iron haven]

AltTexture({ key = 'myprefix_F deck', -- the key of the texture set = 'Cards', -- define the object type that you are retexturing, see wiki for full list of types id = "foxtrotdeck", name = "F deck", path = '8BitDeck.png', -- the filename of your spritesheet, saved in assets/1x AND assets/2x loc_txt = { -- [NYI] Localization text for tooltips displayed in the texture selection screen - can be added to a localization file under [descriptions][alt_texture] name = 'F Texture', text = 'Cards are different' } })

[quartz ravine]

I would start by looking super closely at examples from Malverk and double check syyntax

[iron haven]

I would let a malverk expert help

[spark pumice]

I'm having trouble with programming... The first part and middle work fine, but the last part isn't doing quite what I want it to? It ends up destroying all the heart cards in hand, and not just the ones played. Admittedly I don't really know what I'm doing

[quartz ravine]

Weird, I am correctly counting all of the Jokers of matching edition in my deck, but for some reason my loc_vars in the description doesn't update

[iron haven]

...

[quartz ravine]

try swapping the context to G.play to see if that helps

[quartz ravine]

Sorry, I don't know Malverk. Maybe take some rest, have a nice night and try again tomorrow.

[iron haven]

I don't know Malverk or lua

[spark pumice]

I'm not really sure what you mean, Like this?

[iron haven]

I'm bumfuzzled/foxed

[daring fern]

I think they meant change it to context.cardarea == G.play

[spark pumice]

OH I see

Yeah looks like that fixed it! Ty!

[sour marsh]

does anyone know where in the code is the function to close a booster after it's done being used?

i found card:open()

there might be an easier way to do what i'm trying to do but i feel like i'm pulling on a thread that's getting longer and longer

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do?

[sour marsh]

i'm trying to make a consumable that shows you a selection of consumables and lets you pick one to delete from the run permanently

[daring fern]

Have you figured out how to delete it?

[sour marsh]

so what i'm gathering for now is that i have to create a card area for the consumables similar to the one created for a booster

[daring fern]

What if you made It open a booster pack?

[sour marsh]

i haven't but i think that would be the easiest part, i think i'm gonna save a table of all banned cards and patch create_card() so it retries if the selected card is one of the banned ones

[glad osprey]

how would I make balatro bluescreen your pc

[daring fern]

You could look at cryptid's delete code card.

[glad osprey]

could just ban the cards like how challenges do it

that's what I did for my joker only deck

[sour marsh]

true that sounds easier

[glad osprey]

holdon lemme check where you have to put the key

[rapid stag]

does nayone know what the arguments of Sprite() are?

[glad osprey]

G.GAME.banned_keys

[sour marsh]

i thought about that, the thing is that if i add a booster pack with smods it would show up in the collection and the shop and stuff

so i would ideally want a dummy booster that doesn't show up anywhere

[sour marsh]

that's what i'm gonna do for sure

[manic rune]

man im so confused

[daring fern]

You could remove it from the pool and set no_collection to true.

[manic rune]

for some reason my code increases a joker's atk by 4% when i put it 2%

[modern kindle]

Set it to 1%
Solved

[manic rune]

wtf...

[manic rune]

fair point

[sour marsh]

that sounds way easier, i wonder if it's gonna cause problems if i open a booster pack while inside another booster pack, or while playing the game, might have to ban the card from the shop

gonna try that thank you so much!

[manic rune]

fortunately, it was just a visual bug ❤️

[radiant plank]

how does one go about indexing unlocked hand types?

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if v.visible then
        --- do things
    end
end

[manic rune]

????

[long acorn]

this will make it work in the first hand of the round only right

[manic rune]

shouldnt it be 1?

im actually not sure when that gets increased

if its immediately when you play a hand then that will never work

[long acorn]

i copied it off trading card so that might be the prob

[manic rune]

dunno

see if it works :p

if it doesnt then increase that by 1

[long acorn]

yea it crashed lmao

huh it still crashed when i set it to 1

[iron haven]

BepisFever, do you know lua?

or Malverk?

[long acorn]

ok i found a first hand played thing from a different mod

tf does juice card mean

[radiant plank]

thanks!

[maiden phoenix]

Juice_card_until is for stuff like DNA or Trading Card to make them shake until their effect has/can't be activated

[manic rune]

i dont know malverk sadly

[manic rune]

ah, this one is easy

[iron haven]

you did retexturing right?

[long acorn]

it was meant to be hands_played not hands_used lol

[manic rune]

yeah

❤️

[manic rune]

nop

[iron haven]

ok...

[long acorn]

what do i put in the if statement that checks that theres no face cards in the played hand

[manic rune]

i dont think theres any

but you can go through the whole context.full_hand

if v:is_face(), then the hand has a face card

for i,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
  if v:is_face() then return end --doesn't run anything below this, basically
end

[iron haven]

...

[long acorn]

where do i put this in the lua file, not in the calculate function right

[manic rune]

you do put it in the calculate function

[long acorn]

so like

[manic rune]

put it inside the context block

[long acorn]

and on top of the return block?

[manic rune]

yes

[long acorn]

so thisll work now

[manic rune]

mhm

[long acorn]

nice thanks

[long acorn]

now the next part

i found the code used for familiar
now how to slot it into joker code

[iron haven]

hmm

[reef belfry]

This just kinda looks bad but idk what id make it look like

[long acorn]

so like i found the part that generates the random card

but where tf do i put _rank and _suit

[iron haven]

oh is this in the AltTextures.lua?

[long acorn]

what

[iron haven]

...

[sour marsh]

i think SMODS.create_card() doesn't work for boosters

i'm probably doing something wrong but i used the default create_card and it worked

[iron haven]

I have no idea how to fix my error.

[long acorn]

where the fuck do i put the rng variables aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

holy shit it finally works

[sour marsh]

creating the card in the return statement is cursed

[long acorn]

if it works it works ack

[sour marsh]

usually you would do

if context.whatever then
  -- create playing card
  return{whatever = true}
end

[sour marsh]

what's your error?

[long acorn]

oh it doesnt have to be in the return statement?

ive put all the joker effects in there so far

[iron iron]

how do i remove a suit from the starting deck? read the wiki but it just confused me a bit

[iron haven]

It has to do with this
AltTexture({ key = "myprefix_F deck", -- The key of the texture set = "Cards", -- Define the object type that you are retexturing id = "foxtrotdeck", name = "F deck", path = "8BitDeck.png", -- The filename of your spritesheet, saved in assets/1x AND assets/2x loc_txt = { -- [NYI] Localization text for tooltips displayed in the texture selection screen -- Can be added to a localization file under [descriptions][alt_texture] name = "F Texture", text = "Cards are different" } })

Yes, this

[sour marsh]

nah, the return table lets you set specific variables that can do different things depending on the context
there's also return { remove = true } for some contexts that let you remove cards
anything else goes before the return statement
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[digital niche]

is there a way to make a joker value be duplicated everytime something specific occurs? i have the code for getting +2 mult everytime a blind is skipped, how could i make the mult just go duplicating, like, 2 - 4 - 8 - 16 etc

[iron haven]

aarvlo, what is wrong with this?

[sour marsh]

what error are you getting? i don't know much about retexturing but i can try to help out

[digital niche]

if i want to do a number times another will it be number . number or number * number ??

[iron haven]

that's the error ^

[sour marsh]

what are you trying to do with name = "F deck",?

[iron haven]

I want to get the textures into the game.

[sour marsh]

so you want to retexture a deck called F deck?

[iron haven]

No, I want to make a deck to retexture the playing cards to F deck

[sour marsh]

remove that line

and run the game

[daring fern]

Shouldn't you use SMODS.Deckskin for that?

[sour marsh]

they're using Malverk

wait hold on

i don't see your mod in the modlist

@iron haven

[daring fern]

SMODS.Deckskin is for playing cards.

Like friends of jimbo.

But for all ranks.

[digital niche]

is there something wrong here?

[sour marsh]

ohhh yeah just do that @iron haven https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

[sour marsh]

does malverk not work for cards?

[daring fern]

Doesn't look like it does.

It only works for the back of the playing card.

[sour marsh]

@iron havenhttps://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/DeckSkinTemplate/DeckSkinTemplate.lua here's the example mod in SMODS that covers DeckSkin if you need more help

[iron haven]

so...

where do I put that?

[daring fern]

In your main file.

[sour marsh]

i was gonna ask you that too

in the error code i didn't see your mod

[iron haven]

?

[sour marsh]

do you have your mod folder set up?

[iron haven]

there is a mod folder

[sour marsh]

i mean for your mod

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[iron haven]

?

[daring fern]

In your mods folder.

[daring fern]

Where is your mod?

[iron haven]

I added a folder

[daring fern]

In your mods folder?

[iron haven]

yes

[peak tiger]

How do I check the amount of cards discarded?

[daring fern]

The current run or current round?

[peak tiger]

Current discard

in context.discard

[digital niche]

bump

[daring fern]

I think during a discard, #context.full_hand is the amount of cards discarded.

[sour marsh]

do this: @iron haven

1. Remove malverk since you won't be using it
2. Download this example mod pack and unzip it https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master
3. Find the DeckSkinTemplate folder
4. paste it in your Mods folder, this will be the template for your mod so you don't have to make it from scratch, you can change the names of the folder and the files inside if you want
5. Read this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata this will explain how to format the .json file you will find in the folder to fit the needs of your mod
6. Read the .lua file so you familiarize yourself with SMODS.Atlas and SMODS.DeckSkin, here is the documentation detailing how they work https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Atlas https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin
7. change whatever you need to change to fit your mod

If you get lost along the way feel free to tag me, if i'm still awake i will respond

[peak tiger]

second question, what is the way to add/remove money in scoring?

[daring fern]

You can either use ease_dollars(number) or return dollars = number

Both work for negative numbers I think.

[sour marsh]

is there a way to make keep_on_use not send the card to your consumable slots and then emplace it somewhere else?

i think what i'm doing is just an insane hack that steammodded wasn't built for

or balatro for that matter

[daring fern]

Are you talking about that consumable that removes conumables completely?

[sour marsh]

yea

[iron haven]

so I'm on step 5.

[sour marsh]

i was trying to put the used consumable back in the dummy deck but it doesn't seem to work

[daring fern]

You could try looking at pointer and check what name is inputed and check if its one of how many choices of consumables.

[sour marsh]

i think i'm just gonna create a dummy consumable with the same texture

that does the actual card removal

and is only summoned in the dummy booster

[sour marsh]

yeah i think the create_card function doesn't let you put existing cards emplaced somewhere else back in the pack

i mean it wouldn't make sense to do that outside of my niche case

[sour marsh]

do you have any questions so far?

[iron haven]

Do I make a JSON or edit the JSON or Lua script?

[sour marsh]

edit the JSON file that already exists in the example mod and put in your mod info, you can delete the existing one and make it from scratch if you want too

[iron haven]

hmm

[sour marsh]

nono

read the link i sent you in step 5

that's what the json would look like

[iron haven]

so

[sour marsh]

you will not be using the AltTexture code you made, that is from malverk and it's unfortunately not capable of replacing cards

[crisp coral]

why asre you using vs for this

sob

[iron haven]

what else do I add?

[reef belfry]

it looks too chonky compared to the actual consumable cards

[sour marsh]

that should do it i think

i can't find the documentation for SMODS.ConsumableType

does it not exist

ok im just gonna look at some other mods that use it

[iron haven]

Don't I have to add the file to 1x and 2x?

[sour marsh]

yea

make sure the 2x file is 2x the size

[iron haven]

How do I do that?

Make the image 2x size.

[reef belfry]

that probably depends on what app ur using to make em

[iron haven]

ok now?

[sour marsh]

in aseprite it's easy

just make the canvas twice the size then select your original sprite and resize it to the entire canvas

in photoshop/gimp/krita it's probably similar

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure there is an extension that does that automatically.

[iron haven]

I did that. Now what do I do?

[sour marsh]

put the 1x file in 1x and the 2x file in 2x

then keep going through the steps

[daring fern]

https://github.com/balamod/aseprite-balamod-extension

[iron haven]

it isn't there.

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[iron haven]

wait, it didn't save.

hmm

[daring fern]

Show your mod folder.

[iron haven]

there

[daring fern]

No, your mod folder.

[reef belfry]

kinda expected it to be going down than up

[daring fern]

The mod thats not showing up.

[iron haven]

in examples-master?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[iron haven]

I replaced the template. fyi

[sour marsh]

you need to take the folder of your mod out of examples-master and paste it into the Mods folder

[iron haven]

FDeck.

[sour marsh]

and delete examples-master

[iron haven]

hmmm

[tawny narwhal]

what da hell is this

[iron haven]

oh

[tawny narwhal]

(263->)        if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card ~= card and context.other_card.ability.extra and context.other_card.ability.extra.is_jet_joker and not (context.other_card.ability.name == 'SUPCruise' and context.other_context.end_of_round) then
            return {
                repetitions = 1,
                message = "Refuelled!",
            }
        end
    end```

[iron haven]

It is there but the cards didn't change.

[daring fern]

You need to check if type(context.other_card.ability.extra) == 'Table'

[daring fern]

You need to change the main file.

[sour marsh]

what is in the .lua file?

[iron haven]

`local atlas_hc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "skin_hc",
path = "skin_hc.png",
px = 71,
py = 95,
}

local atlas_lc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "skin_lc",
path = "skin_lc.png",
px = 71,
py = 95,
}

local icon_lc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "icon_lc",
path = "icon_lc.png",
px = 18,
py = 18,
}

local icon_hc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "icon_hc",
path = "icon_hc.png",
px = 18,
py = 18,
}

SMODS.DeckSkin {
key = "example",
suit = "Hearts",
loc_txt = "Example",
palettes = {
{
key = 'lc',
ranks = {'2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', "King", "Ace",},
display_ranks = {"King", "Queen", "Jack"},
atlas = atlas_lc.key,
pos_style = 'deck',
suit_icon = {
atlas = icon_lc.key,
},
},
{
key = 'hc',
ranks = {'2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', "King", "Ace",},
display_ranks = {"King", "Queen", "Jack"},
atlas = atlas_hc.key,
pos_style = 'deck',
colour = HEX("9734f0"),
suit_icon = {
atlas = icon_hc.key,
},
},
},
}`

that ^

[sour marsh]

right, now to options > customize deck and see if your skin shows up

[tawny narwhal]

fr? it was working earlier... oh well

[spark pumice]

Here’s how my first joker went! It was annoyingly enough the simplest one I came up with, but it still resulted in a lot of bug fixing thay took longer than the original programming itself… despite that it’s actually a lot of fun to play! Balanced? Nah. That’s why it’s Cryptid Inspired. I’m planning to also add Kinito, PAL, Wheatley, GladOs, and like- maybe a few others? But also it’s a solid Joker on its own tbh. How do I uh- make it available to download? I’ve never gotten this far on a project before ngl-

[daring fern]

That's because most vanilla jokers use card.ability.extra for number values.

[tawny narwhal]

oooh

[reef belfry]

does this look stupid

the name i mean

[spark pumice]

I think it’s sick as hell

I like how it kinda has a subtle parallax effect to it? Due to the letters in the center being smaller? It kinda looks like a hallway a little bit it’s awesome

[iron haven]

hmm

[daring fern]

What is the name of your sprites?

[iron haven]

8BitDeck

[sour marsh]

in SMODS.Atlas you need to change the png files to the ones you want to use

[iron haven]

renamed them to FDeck and FDeckX2

[sour marsh]

they need to be the same name

in both the x1 and x2 folders

[iron haven]

`local atlas_hc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "skin_hc",
path = "skin_hc.png",
px = 71,
py = 95,
}

local atlas_lc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "skin_lc",
path = "skin_lc.png",
px = 71,
py = 95,
}` these?

[sour marsh]

right, after path =

change it to the name of your sprite

[iron haven]

the key?

oh the path

ok now?

`local atlas_hc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "skin_hc",
path = "FDeck.png",
px = 71,
py = 95,
}

local atlas_lc = SMODS.Atlas {
key = "skin_lc",
path = "FDeck.png",
px = 71,
py = 95,
}`

[sour marsh]

run the game and see if it throws an error, make sure both the 1x and the 2x files have the same name

and make sure they are in their respective folders

assets > 1x
assets > 2x

[iron haven]

It is on only the hearts

[sour marsh]

yeah

[iron haven]

SMODS.DeckSkin { key = "example", suit = "Hearts", loc_txt = "Example", palettes = { { key = 'lc', ranks = {'2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', "King", "Ace",}, display_ranks = {"King", "Queen", "Jack"}, atlas = atlas_lc.key, pos_style = 'deck', suit_icon = { atlas = icon_lc.key, }, }, { key = 'hc', ranks = {'2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', "King", "Ace",}, display_ranks = {"King", "Queen", "Jack"}, atlas = atlas_hc.key, pos_style = 'deck', colour = HEX("9734f0"), suit_icon = { atlas = icon_hc.key, }, }, }, } How do I do it for all the suits?

[sour marsh]

you need to make another SMODS.DeckSkin
and change suit = "Hearts",for the next suit

basically copy all that

and make it the next suit

and so on until you have 4

[iron haven]

I do

Now run it?

[sour marsh]

yea

lets see

[iron haven]

still on the hearts

do I have to do it in order?

[sour marsh]

ohhh

i know what it is

right

[iron haven]

?

[sour marsh]

do you have your spritesheet?

what order are the decks in?

[iron haven]

in the code?

[sour marsh]

in the image

[iron haven]

hearts clubs diamonds spades

[sour marsh]

can you send me a screenshot of your lua code

[iron haven]

?

this?

[sour marsh]

change the key on each DeckSkin so it's a different one

[iron haven]

?

to what?

[sour marsh]

whatever you want

you can name it afte the suit

as long as they are all different

[iron haven]

do I do the ones in pallete or no?

[sour marsh]

no not those

[iron haven]

ok

[sour marsh]

then just run it

[iron haven]

ok

it works

[sour marsh]

we are so back

now change the sprite to whatever you want

and you're done

[iron haven]

ok

[long sun]

[thanks, on his behalf :)]

[sturdy compass]

Lmao

[mystic moth]

Omori reference?

[placid star]

hey guys how would one find a jokers position in the card hand thingy? I'm looking to make a joker to retirgger other jokers to thr left and right but I'm struggling with finding positions... :(

[sturdy compass]

You’d loop through G.jokers.cards with a standard for i=1… loop. When G.jokers.cards[i] == card, store the value of i somewhere and use that as the baseline of where your joker is located

[sour marsh]

ok i finally managed to create the boosters but my brain is fried

forget that if you saw it i'm stupid

[placid star]

omg tysm youre a life saver!!

[tawny narwhal]

Now the joker doesn't make the game crash, but it doesn't work either

[daring fern]

Show your current code.

[tawny narwhal]

    key = 'ACarrier',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Aircraft Carrier',
        text = {
            "Retriggers all {C:attention}Aircraft{} type Jokers",
        }
    },
    rarity = 2, -- Uncommon
    atlas = 'AircraftCarrieratlas',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    cost = 5,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card ~= card and type(context.other_card.ability.extra) == 'Table' and context.other_card.ability.extra and context.other_card.ability.extra.is_jet_joker and not (context.other_card.ability.name == 'SUPCruise' and context.other_context.end_of_round) then
            return {
                repetitions = 1,
                message = "Refuelled!",
            }
        end
    end
}```

I assume I've implemented the new condition wrong

[daring fern]

You should check if extra exists before checking what type it is.

[tawny narwhal]

oh bruh

yeah you right

[daring fern]

Also I think it needs to be lowercase.

My mistake.

[iron haven]

ummm

why is it offcenter?

[daring fern]

How can I retrigger Jimbo at the end of a run?

[long acorn]

hmmm
just discovered something
it doesn't trigger hologram

actually does DNA trigger hologram?

[iron haven]

🙂

[daring fern]

It returns playing_cards_created = {true}

[long acorn]

guess i just add that to the return block then?
so it triggers hologram

[iron haven]

do you guys like this?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[daring fern]

I kind of got this done but how do I make it say Again!?

[long acorn]

message = 'Again!' or something like that

[daring fern]

It doesn't work like that.

[sour marsh]

4 hours later here is all i have to show for it

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do there?

[sour marsh]

emplace a consumable to my hand

but it doesn't work it goes to the consumable area

[daring fern]

You're trying to put a consumable in G.hand?

[sour marsh]

yea

i might need to create a new card area

fuck my chungus life

copied the code that draws cards into hand and replaced it with hex hoping it would just work

it doesn't

[daring fern]

Wouldn't ```lua
local card_ = create_card("Spectral", G.hand, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'c_hex')
card_:add_to_deck()
G.hand:emplace(card_)

[sour marsh]

hmm

i don't wanna add it to the deck tho

i just wanna show it temporarily

i would just remove it afterwards right

but i don't want it to show up in the deck summary

[daring fern]

It wont count as a playing card I don't think.

[red flower]

what about

local card = SMODS.create_card{key = 'c_hex', area = G.hand}
G.hand:emplace(card)

[sour marsh]

IT WORKS

i had to add it to deck

[sour marsh]

tysmmm

ok now i need to make this happen only once

i don't know if update_pack is the right function

[daring fern]

What would happen if you put it in create_card?

[sour marsh]

i think it would work in this case

since i'm only creating one card anyways

[sour marsh]

ok i tested this and i think it works even better

[sour marsh]

lmfao

peak

[native zinc]

pain !

[placid star]

how does one retrigger a joker? like blueprint does

[daring fern]

There is a difference between blueprinting a joker and retriggering a joker which one are looking for?

[placid star]

uhm I'm trying to make a joker that copies the jokers to the left and right IF both are copiable

so blueprintable I think

[daring fern]

You could do ```lua
if G.jokers.cards[i] == card and G.jokers.cards[i+1] then
return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i+1], context)
end

And ```lua
if G.jokers.cards[i] == card and G.jokers.cards[i-1] then
return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i-1], context)
end

It would have to be all in one return though.

[placid star]

here is my code at current (I MIGHT be new to lua) sorry for low dhitty quality I'm at school and disc is banned unless you have a vpn 😪

[daring fern]

context.other_card cant be both the joker to the right and the left.

[placid star]

so I'd put both of the code you sent inside a for loop?

[daring fern]

I think.

[placid star]

stupid question but how do you check if a jonkler is blueprint compatible?

[daring fern]

Put this in the update function ```lua
local other_joker = nil
if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then
for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i+1] end
end
if other_joker and other_joker ~= self and other_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat then
card.ability.blueprint_compat = 'compatible'
else
card.ability.blueprint_compat = 'incompatible'
end
end

[placid star]

I'm sorry I'm rly new to this, I dont have an update function and I wouldn't know where to put one...

[daring fern]

Just put update = function(self, card, context) above your calculate function.

[placid star]

okay I implemented this !!

does that not only account for the right joker tho?

[daring fern]

You would have to set a different variable to the left joker.

[placid star]

ah okay!

in calculate would i do an if to check if both left and right joker are compatible?

[daring fern]

No because in jokers its copying if they aren't blueprintable they will have not context.blueprint everywhere and blueprints will not activate

[placid star]

but would that lead to one of them being activated when the other isn't compatible?

[daring fern]

You probably would have to check then.

[placid star]

okay I'll do some testing, thanks for all the help tho! I can't thank you enough !!

[iron iron]

im confused on how the text colour works for suit, how would i use a colour tag (like C:mult) with this suit

[sour marsh]

i give up for today

gonna continue tomorrow

i was so close too but my brain is cooked

[sour marsh]

you mean in loc_txt?

the same as any other loc_txt

[iron iron]

no like if i had a joker that gives "+x mult for each card with Leaf suit" then what colour tag would i use to colour it

[sour marsh]

i think steammodded patches G.C.SUITS

to add your suit

[placid star]

okay so hey as soon as I get the joker during the run (not the collection) the game crashes at 45, am I being stupid?

[daring fern]

You need to check that both a joker to the left and right exist.

[placid star]

ohh

[sour marsh]

i think the color tag would be G.C.SUITS["prefix_YourSuit"]

but i'm not sure exactly how the key is formatted

[iron iron]

played cards with {G.C.SUITS[prefix_Leaves]}Leaf{} suit give +x mult when scored

or no curvy braces for the tag

[sour marsh]

no hold on

there might be a better way to do it but here's my solution

give me a sec

[sour marsh]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'jimbo',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Jimbo',
        text = {
            "{V:1}Leaf{} card"
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                colours = { G.C.SUITS[prefix_Leaves] } -- sets the colour of the text affected by `{V:1}`
            }
        }
    end,```

[iron iron]

ahhhhh that makes sense

[primal robin]

Just look at the Ancient joker

[iron iron]

would if i had the code, i can look at castle in example mods tho

[primal robin]

Just check vanilla balatro code

[sour marsh]

it's the same

[iron iron]

would do it if i had the steam ver 🤷‍♂️

[primal robin]

What do you mean?

[placid star]

so, i can now spawn the joker in but when i go into it with the blind my game dies and I get this error

[placid star]

but hey atleast it's a different error

[iron iron]

i dont have the steam version, dw im not modding for other platforms lol

[daring fern]

Try removing context from the update function.

[heavy hare]

how do you update the nodes that are used in an UIBox? do you update with a new table or do you access them via get_UIE_by_ID to update/delete?

like i have 3 nodes that make up a table and i want to delete them it updates

G.HUD_blind_tracker:get_UIE_by_ID('tracker_small').remove()
^ something like this

[crisp coral]

:recalculate()

[heavy hare]

does that work with the removing of nodes? it didn't seem to update

[crisp coral]

it should

[crisp coral]

also it should be :remove()

[primal robin]

Removing node doesn't require recalculate by itself

[daring fern]

Why does this not put a seal on every card in a pack?

[placid star]

I tried that but feel free to look at the github

https://github.com/fey-fish/jjok

[primal robin]

Because ipairs, not pairs

[sour marsh]

Lua moment

[daring fern]

Still doesn't work.

Also what is the difference?

[primal robin]

pairs for object, ipairs for array

[daring fern]

This works and this is in the calculate function.

[primal robin]

This doesn't crash just because G.shop_jokers.cards.highlighted doesn't have seal

Use ipairs anyway

[long acorn]

wait where in card.lua is this

[primal robin]

pairs iterate all keys until first nil, ipairs only integer keys (1, 2, 3 and go on) until first nil

[placid star]

does anyone know what all the contexts are? if that makes any sense lol

[daring fern]

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

[daring fern]

This is a deck for reference.

[placid star]

how does context.other_joker work if I'm not too much trouble...

[daring fern]

It's for things like baseball card.

[placid star]

ahh, I'm having alot of trouble making a blueprint type joker, do you think it'd be easier to just retrigger jokers instead?

[daring fern]

It would.

[placid star]

so another thing to stare at for 3 hours... worth it

[tall wharf]

this is why you mentally limit the amount of retriggers

[placid star]

well my joker retriggers 2 jokers once but I just cant seem to grasp it..

[long acorn]

didnt work for some reason

[daring fern]

Try putting playing_card_joker_effects({true}) after it creates the card.

[long acorn]

that did it thanks

[placid star]

could anyone point me in the direction of make a retrigger jerkler?

[daring fern]

First you need to put ```lua
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
return {
retrigger_joker = true
}
end

[placid star]

okay that's done!

[daring fern]

Then you put this in calculate ```lua
if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card == (Right_joker or Left_joker) then
return {
message = localize("k_again_ex"),
repetitions = card.ability.extra.retriggers,
card = card,
}
end

[placid star]

is that really it?

do i need to ammend my update function at all

[daring fern]

You shouldn't.

You probably should check for blueprint compatibility.

Because not context.blueprint doesn't apply for retriggers.

[placid star]

hm

I'm getting an error about a local pool fix

[daring fern]

Show the error.

[placid star]

it's on boot

[daring fern]

What does your code look like?

[placid star]

I uploaded it to the git hub

https://github.com/fey-fish/jjok

[daring fern]

Why did you remove the prefix for the rarity?

[placid star]

oh shit that was me splicing segments of code together a while ago whoops

my laptop just died so I can't fix it rn but could that be the issue?

[daring fern]

It probably is because raritys have pools and raritys need prefixes.

[quartz ravine]

you can hit control+c to copy that error from the game. Taking a picture of the error, lol.

[placid star]

can't get on discord on my laptop since I'm in school

[quartz ravine]

Don't know if it was mentioned but retrigger_joker_check has to be enabled also at your mod's base config.lua level

[placid star]

like this?

[placid star]

https://github.com/fey-fish/jjok

this is the git hub if you want to take a look but I dont think it has that...

[quartz ravine]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {retrigger_joker = true}

otherwise SMODS custom handling of joker retriggering does not work. Not related to your error

[daring fern]

This does work guaranteed.

[placid star]

well when I get back home to my rig I'll update the pool and make an actual sprite for the joker lol

[quartz ravine]

Looks good to me 🙂

[sour marsh]

it's in the localization file, in this case english

[quartz ravine]

How does a Glass or Stone joker only appear when you have at least one of those cards? I am trying to implement the same but I didn't see where that is done in the code

[hushed field]

enhancement_gate

[daring fern]

Does anybody know why when I play a deck it looks like this?

[hushed field]

you mean so flat?

[quartz ravine]

Thank you! I thought it was called yes_pool or saomething like that!

[quartz ravine]

are you messing with the card buffer, looks like you only have one card in your deck

[hushed field]

you have the flags which are for things like cavendish

[hushed field]

Do you have cardsleeves installed?

and pools which are used for card packs and such

[quartz ravine]

normal deck for comparison

[daring fern]

I do.

[hushed field]

that's why it looks flat. All the cards are stacked in the same spot for the sleeve sprite to not mess with it. You're just not using a sleeve

[daring fern]

How could I make it so things can have 2 seals?

[reef belfry]

Eugh

I guess i can have them as placeholders for now

[primal robin]

That's fire

[gilded goblet]

this is a really cool idea

[native zinc]

oh hey it all fits

[hushed field]

Me when I put every single shape into the square hole

[native zinc]

not even close

i should make all the face cards 5s prolly

[mellow sierra]

how do i make a joker spawn a specific tarot card when blind is selected?

[hushed field]

Which part are you trying to figure out? There is a context for setting blinds, and smods has a create card function for the specific tarot

[mellow sierra]

context for setting blinds i have figured out im just not sure how to make it create a specific tarrot card

[hushed field]

(also great pfp)

[mellow sierra]

i want it to create the highpriestres for example

thank u man 😄

cant really find it in the documentation

[hushed field]

I can check the specifics once I'm at a PC, but I'd check documentation or Smods code for SMODS.create_card, which should get you there. I think it's in utilities?

[mellow sierra]

ill check rn

so in the if statment it should be SMODS.create_card("t_highpriestess")

or t_high_priestess

[red flower]

SMODS.create_card{key= "c_high_priestess"}

[native zinc]

don't forget to emplace or add_card()

[mellow sierra]

thanks man

[mellow sierra]

wdym

is that to check for avalible slots or?

[red flower]

add_card puts the card in the area you want

or you can do area:emplace(card)

[native zinc]

you gotta tell the card where it's going else it'll be very confused and lost (as in hovering over the card area and not working)

[gilded narwhal]

Okay gang what do we think of these legendaries

[mellow sierra]

            if context.setting_blind then
                SMODS.create_card{key= "c_high_priestess"}
                card:set_edition('e_negative', true)
                card:add_to_deck()
            end

    end
        
}

so far i have it like this but its kinda fucked it spawns it top right and dosent count as a consumable neither can i use it

did card:add_to_deck()
cause i saw that in the perkeo example though i would give it a try

[red flower]

G.consumeables:emplace(card)

[hushed field]

I don't love D'acosta as a design there

[red flower]

you can also replace all of that with
SMODS.add_card{key='c_high_priestess', edition= 'e_negative'}

[long urchin]

how would i change this pack's offset? my current code isnt working
context.shop_card.children.center.offset.x = context.shop_card.children.center.offset.x - 20 context.shop_card.children.center.offset.y = context.shop_card.children.center.offset.y - 20

[mellow sierra]

 calculate = function(self,card,context)
            if context.setting_blind then
                local card = SMODS.add_card{key='c_high_priestess', edition= 'e_negative'}
                card:add_to_deck()
                G.consumeables:emplace(card)
            end

    end
        
}

it works like this it spawns one but counts it as two for some reason

eaven without e_negative same problem

[red flower]

remove the add_to_deck and emplace
add_card does both of those automatically

[mellow sierra]

add_card without parameters?

[red flower]

add_card automatically emplaces in the correct area for the object key you give it

[long urchin]

wheres the documentation on modifying ui? things like an object's offset or scale

im trying to see if im using the right command

[red flower]

there's a UI guide but i don't think it has what you want
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

[mellow sierra]

@red flower

calculate = function(self,card,context)
            if context.setting_blind then
                local card = SMODS.add_card({set = 'Tarot', key='c_high_priestess', area=G.consumeables})
                return true
            end

    end

fixed it like this thank u for helping out and answering my stupid questions 🫶

[native zinc]

...

ok

maybe i need to cool it off a bit

[long urchin]

ah, yeah this isnt

so then how do i change the alignment/position of cards? things in my shop are offset and i need to realign them

[quartz ravine]

Wow, this maybe goes a bit too hard

[native zinc]

we've all been there

balanced mod then suddenly 1e11

[quartz ravine]

@red flower I have struggled so much with making Ghost Rare work with a shader. That effect is just soo cool looking in cards. But my wife pointed out to me that there is some unique art at play, and also custom hologram foil layers in the card to make it possible

I know as a fellow Yugi head, you'll know what it is I am trying to do

[long urchin]

how do you check a joker's rarity & edition?

[daring fern]

joker.config.center.rarity for rarity

And joker.edition.polychrome/holo/foil/negative for editions

[long urchin]

do i use 1 2 3 or 'common' 'uncommon' 'rare'

[daring fern]

You would use numbers.

[long urchin]

is there one for base edition or would i have to do "not polychrome and not holo and not foil and not negative"

[daring fern]

You would do not joker.edition

[long urchin]

ahh ok ok

[red flower]

i have never seen a real yugioh card irl sorry

[quartz ravine]

For real!?

That makes your mod even more insanely well done then

This goes soooo well together. This uncommon card, maybe I will make it a Rare, retriggers cards when the hand is a flush.

This custom edition is like the card having it's own built-in hiker!

[manic rune]

i still cant figure out how to remove this with the least amount of effort as possible :p

[manic rune]

whats with that secret rare description...

Gains +5 Chips when scored
(Currently +5 Mult)

[quartz ravine]

ugh! How do I not see this sort of thing, lol

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[long sun]

is there a way to check the current ante?

oh, nvm, found it?
G.GAME.blind_ante

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure it is G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[late basin]

Hi everyone! I wanna make a custom Joker mod but I'm not sure how to get started. I've installed Steammodded and Lovely but I'm not sure where to go from here? Is there a FAQ for creating your first mod and how to access the bit where I can modify game code? Thank you so much!

[long urchin]

i believe i did it wrong

[daring fern]

You would check context.shop_card.config.center.rarity

And not context.shop_card.edition

[long sun]

thanks :D

what's the variable for the small blind? i know the one for boss blinds is G.GAME.blind.boss

oop! found it

G.GAME.blind:get_type() == "Small"

[tall wharf]

ghost

[long sun]

haihaiii!

[quartz ravine]

Cool, each card has it's own unique id! I was trying to work around the issue of editions not having access to the base.card obj by making a global tracking table to look up the card.

But I was doing that using card.base.id, the effect? All identical card (like Kings of Clubs) would share an increasing perma_mult!!

[long urchin]

Is there a way to globally check if a card's sprite is smaller (i.e. half joker, photograph, wee) or would I have to add in manual exceptions

I wanna globally check so that it's modproof

Like, is there a tag that defines it being smaller and I can check that tag?

[quartz ravine]

Oooohhh, you can declare mod level functions and use them in Debug plus!!!

[signal oak]

i wanna mod balatro but vs studio keeps giving me the same error every time anyone know how to fix this?

[olive saddle]

I want to get the in code name for a spectral card that a mod adds so I can make the ghost deck start with it, how do I do that?

[hushed field]

lua doesn't work like that

[quartz ravine]

Lua needs to be in your Path. Make sure you have it added to your environmental vars

Google 'Adding Lua to Env Variables Windows'

[signal oak]

ive done that already and triple checked it yet i keep facing the same error

[tall wharf]

it's 2nd of April now

[quartz ravine]

actually TBH I have not tried just running Lua 'hello world' in that context, I am not sure if it should work

[placid star]

@daring fern okay so im back but on my rig this time! it works... but it only retriggers the right joker and im not too sure how to retrigger the left aswell

[daring fern]

What does your code look like?

[placid star]

i loaded up balatro again and now it doesnt even retrigger...

[modern kindle]

Oh while I'm here for the moment something, how did you fix your issue of eternal glass cards staying on screen?
I'm out of the house for the day but I figured I'd pick your brain while you're here

[daring fern]

Why is there 0 indentation.

[placid star]

git hub copy and pasting fucked up my indentation

[modern kindle]

As a minor help you can select all of it, right click, and format selection if in vscode

[south lintel]

what do I use if I want to add/subtract money on a joker trigger?

[daring fern]

You can either use ease_dollars(number) or return dollars = number

[quartz ravine]

Weird....my edition code does not seem to see info for the card it applied too

For instance, this card has +20 extra chips, but in loc_txt from my edition, I don't see those values. I am trying to do this to support showing extra chips for jokers which have my custom edition

[daring fern]

Every time a joker triggers?

[south lintel]

yep

[quartz ravine]

loc_txt = {
        name = "Secret Rare",
        label = "secretRare",
        text = {
            "Gains {X:chips,C:white}+ #1#{} chips when scored",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:chips,C:white} +#1# {C:inactive} chips)"
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                self.config.chipGrowthRateSelf,
                card.ability.perma_bonus }
        }
    end,

[daring fern]

You have to put ```lua
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
return {
post_trigger = true
}
end

Then you have to use context.post_trigger

[placid star]

okay i auto indented thanks to dilly

[south lintel]

thank you!

[daring fern]

Did you try printing Right_joker and Left_joker to check that you checked correctly?

[placid star]

i did not.. i didnt know there was a print function lmao

okay so a couple of things, when i change which joker its copying it no longer copies and it still only copies the right joker

[daring fern]

I think the problem is you need to do (context.other_card == Right_joker or context.other_card == Left_joker)

My mistake.

[placid star]

IT WORKS OMG

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOURE THE BEST

but erm, can i get it to say something other than 'again'

[daring fern]

Return message = 'message' and it should work

[placid star]

it worked tysm!!

[olive saddle]

okay ive found what its called in the code but how do I do that? how do I change what consumables a deck starts with?

[daring fern]

You would take_ownership of it.

[olive saddle]

right

[olive saddle]

so like this as a base?

[daring fern]

No, It would be something like ```lua
SMODS.Back:take_ownership('b_ghost',
{
}
)

[placid star]

how would one make the 'compatible' 'incompatible' thing in blueprint description in a custom joker?

[hushed field]

check how the loc_vars are set up for vanilla's blueprint, and copy that over!

it's a custom ui node passed to the main_end return key

[daring fern]

You put lua main_end = (card.area and card.area == G.jokers) and { {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "bm", minh = 0.4}, nodes={ {n=G.UIT.C, config={ref_table = card, align = "m", colour = G.C.JOKER_GREY, r = 0.05, padding = 0.06, func = 'blueprint_compat'}, nodes={ {n=G.UIT.T, config={ref_table = card.ability, ref_value = 'blueprint_compat_ui',colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.32*0.8}}, }} }} } or nil in the return of loc_vars

[placid star]

ill have a look ty!

[modern kindle]

Hi ice my friend

[olive saddle]

and then I just add this with the consumables I want it to have within the brackets?

[hushed field]

yo yo dilly

[modern kindle]

How goes the movie watching

Have you made an Oppenheimer consumable yet that destroys every played 5 and instead creates a 2 and 3 of the same suit

[daring fern]

You would probably put config = {spectral_rate = 2, consumables = {'c_prefix_consumable'}}

[manic rune]

good morning chat

[modern kindle]

Bepisss

[manic rune]

helo

[hushed field]

I have joker art for it that's sat unused for like a month but I don't wanna make a big bomb joker based on the actual nuclear bombs dropping, haha, so I've been trying to find an alternate effect

[modern kindle]

Yea I've got no idea lmfao
My only quip is splitting 2 and 3 from 5 there

But that's not super great

[hushed field]

I wanna finish up the Codex system and have it interact with that in some way. As a 'solving equations' kinda thing, but I've got no clue yet beyond that, haha

[olive saddle]

okay so if the key of the consumable is the_8 then I would put in 'c_the_8' ?

[hushed field]

prefix in this case isn't an article, but your mod prefix!

[placid star]

do you think there would be a way to do it so that its dependant on two variables instead?

[olive saddle]

where do I find the mod prefix? just making sure!

I'm editing the files of an existing mod

[daring fern]

In the JSON file.

[olive saddle]

okay I used the correct mod prefix with this being how I coded it and I got this, what went wrong?

[daring fern]

What is line 643?

[frosty dock]

it's SMODS.Back, not deck

[olive saddle]

okay ill try that!

IT WORKED

[manic rune]

whats with everyone having the profile border

[quartz ravine]

yes....finally figured this out! I made an enchantment like Hiker, which makes a card upgrade in chips when scored

[modern kindle]

Hiker squared baby

[quartz ravine]

If you play a high card, with these two jokers...then it goes really well

I am wondering...is the deck an object I can apply an effect to? I would ilke to render an edition effect on the deck area, to demonstrate that the cards within are all X type

[rain slate]

SMODS.Sticker {
    key = 'cursed',
    atlas = 'tecci_stickers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    badge_colour = G.C.PURPLE,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                G.GAME.cursed_rounds or 3,
                card.ability.cursed_left
            }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then
            if card.ability[self.key] and to_big(card.ability.cursed_left) > to_big(0) then
                if to_big(card.ability.cursed_left) == to_big(1) then
                    card.ability.cursed_left = 0

                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event {
                        func = function()
                            card:set_ability('j_joker', nil)
                            card:remove_sticker(self.key)
                            card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
                            play_sound('foil1', 1.2, 0.4)

                            return true
                        end
                    })
                else
                    card.ability.cursed_left = card.ability.cursed_left - 1

                    return {
                        message = localize {
                            type = 'variable',
                            key = 'a_remaining',
                            vars = { card.ability.cursed_left }
                        }
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end,
    apply = function(self, card, val)
        card.ability[self.key] = val
        card.ability.cursed_left = G.GAME.cursed_rounds or 3
    end
}
``` is there something extra you have to do to get your stickers to show up in the shop? I can reroll like 1 million times and no Jokers will have the sticker.

[peak obsidian]

this brings me back to when i first started my mod

[wintry solar]

Yes it is

[peak obsidian]

one of hte first things i made was some reverse hanging chad

[long urchin]

how could i use debugplus to check the value of G.CARD_W here?

[wintry solar]

type in eval G.CARD_W

It’s 2.0something

[rain slate]

?

[long urchin]

ok good

[quartz ravine]

Sweet! It does not seem to be G.GAME.Deck, do you happen to remember it's handle?

Oh it wss G.deck

[long urchin]

how can i set an objects scale to a specific value? Ive only figured out how to change it, but i need to set it

im making something that replaces shop cards with packs, and so i need to scale the cards to the size of the packs:
context.shop_card.children.center.scale.x = 71 * 0.8059 context.shop_card.children.center.scale.y = 95 * 0.8059

the problem is nonstandard joker sizes: photograph, wee, square, and half all warp the pack texture. I want to set it to specifically that value rather than scale it by that value so that way i can fix all of those jokers as well as handle nonstandard joker sizes from mods

[quartz ravine]

I will keep working on this, but so far this route doesn't work

G.deck.children.center:set_edition or send_to_shader

Could you nudge me in the right direction if you have some time, @wintry solar ?

[placid star]

can anyone figure out why my joker isnt displaying with its proper sprite? it WAS working but then i changed a couple things that i cant rly remember about and now its the default sprite and rarity :(

[long urchin]

is the atlas the same?

[placid star]

here is the atlas, its the only one

[quartz ravine]

Wow you are really cooking!

[placid star]

omg ty but i have all of you to thank for the help!

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure you just want to make a drawstep that draws the shader on G.deck.cards[1]

[gilded narwhal]

Steamodded should add ^mult support like it does with xchips

At least with adding a sound

[daring fern]

Talisman does that.

[rain slate]

talisman does that

[gilded narwhal]

Oop

[wintry solar]

No it shouldn’t

[gilded narwhal]

Good to know

[wintry solar]

The only reason it added Xchips was to stop everyone asking for it and having many different implementations of it

[quartz ravine]

Cool, I wil give that a try! So far I have managed to enhance my whole deck like so... but it would be cool to have the deck stack of cards itself also demonstrate that it's enhanced ❤️

my heart was so sad when I realized that xChips is that same thing as mult, lol

[radiant plank]

if i wanted to render an immovable card inside a ui, what is my best course of action? is it to create a card, set the properties i want on it, then do something like this?

{
    n = G.UIT.O,
    config = {
        object = my_initialized_card,
        role = { role_type = "Glued" }
    }
}

[daring fern]

How could I draw a second seal on a card?

[hardy viper]

uhhm card.config.draggable = false iirc

it might be card.VT.draggable

[radiant plank]

thanks that's very convenient

will i need to manually set the screen coordinates for the card, or is that managed by setting my ui object's config.object to the card?

not at my desktop so i cant try anything out right now

[rain slate]

stickers are so weird. for some reason the label text doesn't change when I set label lua tecci_cursed = { name = 'Cursed', label = 'Cursed', text = { 'Converted into {C:attention}Jimbo{}', 'after {C:attention}#1#{} rounds', '{C:inactive}({C:attention}#2#{C:inactive} remaining)', }, } and the sticker also never gets applied to a Joker in the shop unless I force it to with ```lua
should_apply = function (self, card, center, area, bypass_reroll)
return true
end

[hardy viper]

you should place it in a cardarea

and put the cardarea in the ui

[radiant plank]

okay makes sense enough, thanks for your help

[rain slate]

oh my god why is needs_enable_flag true by default

that's why it's never in the shop

[daring fern]

I have the sprites of the seals moved down but how do I draw them onto a card?

[mental nacelle]

trying to figure out what and not not means right now

self.boss = blind and not not blind.boss

[placid star]

why does it seem like my custom common joker shows up so much more than every other joker, oh yeah and it can have dupes without showman

[zealous glen]

Did you create the first copy with Debug Plus

[zealous glen]

It’s the same result as AFAIK

[placid star]

oh shit yeah

but why is it so common

[sleek siren]

Is there a way I can have text on the side of the screen when a joker is in use?

So that way I can have joker details being shown at all time?

[zealous glen]

Creating a copy with Debug Plus doesn’t remove it from the shop. It showing up a lot seems like confirmation bias

[placid star]

i remember seeing stuff about weight, do new objects have different weights compared to already defined rarities?

[zealous glen]

Like https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1241580123766128761?

[zealous glen]

No

[sleek siren]

Yeah! Although at a larger scale so that viewers could be able to see it easily, like Undertale Chaos Mod

https://gamejolt.com/games/undertalechaos/896330

So that viewers can see a list of things to vote on

[zealous glen]

There was a Twitch integration Balatro mod

Idk about it though

[sleek siren]

Oh! I found a UI guide, I think that may help

[long urchin]

whats the 'set' keys for planet cards, tarot cards, and playing cards?

like the config.center.set value to check it

[zealous glen]

I think it’s just Planet, Tarot, etc.

Playing cards don’t have a set I think

Unless the set is named after the center

[long urchin]

mmm ok ill have to check the booster pack values then

[red flower]

playing cards are "Default" and "Enhanced"

[zealous glen]

Those are the centers

But Idk if they’re sets

[red flower]

you get them with card.ability.set

[zealous glen]

Because you can’t SMODS.create_card then

[red flower]

oh yeah no but theyre called sets too

[zealous glen]

I see. I had thought they were just Center object types or something

[rapid stag]

bump

[runic pecan]

...I think I added too many badges.

[scarlet spire]

is there a sensible way to detect when the player gains/loses a consumable? I'm trying to make a joker that depends on how many consumables you have, in real time

[red flower]

not to toot my own horn but maybe something like this would be better?

[daring fern]

Couldn't you check #G.consumeables.cards?

[runic pecan]

#G.consumeables.cards

[hushed field]

What's the real time part of the effect? Does it only matter when the effect triggers? Or does it trigger when the consumable count changes?

[scarlet spire]

in particular, this is the mechanic

[daring fern]

#G.consumeables.cards should work then.

[hushed field]

It'll be inefficient, but not in a way thatll impact performance, but I'd just make it set that every context check

[scarlet spire]

that sounds like a bad idea

[red flower]

it would do that in update, i think that one is justified

[scarlet spire]

i'd rather have it trigger only when a consumable is added/removed, otherwise keeping track of the hand size value itself is a bit of a nightmare

[hushed field]

How so? You could just have it set the extra hand size variable, no?

That exists in every context, even in the shop

[sturdy monolith]

glsl can make bocchi

[red flower]

i mean you can do it on a consumable being used or sold but that might not take into account other mods destruction effects and you need to keep track on the modified hand size anyway

[scarlet spire]

does anything else modify extra hand size?

[zealous glen]

Indonesia mentioned

[scarlet spire]

because I don't want the effect to overwrite, say, turtle bean

[zealous glen]

You can just count the number of consumeables

[scarlet spire]

I know

[nocturne garnet]

Add one more for comedic effect

[red flower]

you only need to keep track of the modified hand size, you can make it independent from other effects

[zealous glen]

This should be possible

[hushed field]

You'll wanna set the modified handsized from that joker, so that you can see if it's changed. That should prevent you from overwriting the other effects

[zealous glen]

Adding Consumeables can use the modded context card_added

Removing consumables needs to be divided into two parts

Sold or destroyed

Sold is built-in

[hushed field]

I have a joker that I struggled with a similar issue with regarding chance, and @modern kindle wrote a pretty cohesive function to ensure it didn't overwrite other parts for it

[zealous glen]

Destroyed needs a bit of work but mods have done it

[runic pecan]

Tweaked it from 1.2 to 1.
What size is the mod badge, though?

[modern kindle]

I'm out right now and won't be back for a bit but you can share whatever relevant parts I don't mind :)

[zealous glen]

omg it’s dilly

[modern kindle]

Hi vic!!

[zealous glen]

omg it’s riv falcon

How are you

[modern kindle]

It's very rainy here but I'm doing alright

I didn't want to get up and exist today but I did, so thumbs up to me

How are you?

[zealous glen]

Some days can be hard but I’m proud you did it

I’m doing well today I think

[modern kindle]

:D

[scarlet spire]

okay I have a weird system but it seems to work

where every update tick I'm just checking the difference between the value of #G.consumeables.cards and a variable I set to #G.consumeables.cards last update tick, to get the change in consumable count every update tick

and applying that change to the handsize on that update

the only issue is this

the handsize gets set perfectly fine, but discarding the purple seal just Decides to draw more cards than it should

[hushed field]

are you setting the variable in the update function?

[scarlet spire]

checking if they aren't equal, then if they aren't, change handsize by the difference and make them equal again

[hushed field]

I suspect it'll be because the game doesn't set the buffer properly, so it draws cards weirdly because the purple seal sets the buffer, but doesn't set the hand size, then a card gets set to be drawn because the hand isn't full. Then the tarot becomes real, and actually increases the hand size, and another card is set to be drawn. So it accidentally draws 2 cards

I suspect you can solve it by just checking the buffer together with the total

[scarlet spire]

it looks like changing handsize always draws a card even when it obviously shouldn't?

adding 1 to handsize when I'm at 11/8 cards still draws another card, putting me at 12/9

[hushed field]

really? i'm back at my pc in a second, let me try that in my own mod and see if that's just standard behaviour

[scarlet spire]

I haven't patched anything related to hand size so this should be stock behavior

smods is 0319c

[hushed field]

I haven't patched anything related to hand size either, and testing with just Kino and debugplus installed, increasing hand size doesn't draw a card if the hand-size max is already topped

but that is on 0323a

[scarlet spire]

i'll upgrade and see

[supple fractal]

question, why do print(G.GAME.blind.chips) and print(G.GAME.chips) return their values with hi attached to the end of the number?

[runic pecan]

Is it card.rarity or card.center.rarity?

[scarlet spire]

okay, it's still doing it for me, which makes no sense because all that's going on here is changing the value normally

[long urchin]

this isnt working right. I used a seed to get a shop 1 polychrome blueprint, and instead it just made a polychrome jumbo pack

            if context.shop_card.config.center.set == 'Joker' then
                if context.shop_card.config.edition then
                    packselect = 'p_buffoon_mega_1'
                elseif context.shop_card.config.center.rarity > 2 then
                    packselect = 'p_buffoon_jumbo_1'
                else
                    packselect = 'p_buffoon_normal_' .. math.random(2)
                end```

[scarlet spire]

okay not only is this happening on my end even after updating, but it happens when removing and re-adding turtle bean as well, it just blindly draws the amount of cards it thinks it should for the handsize change

unrelated to my joker

[hushed field]

are you testing with any other mods installed?

[scarlet spire]

just debugplus

I have a suspicion

(suspicion was wrong)

do you have any optional features enabled?

[hushed field]

retrigger_jokers and the unscored card area

[zealous glen]

I remember some GitHub issue about hand size changes

but also I don't think checking every frame is a good idea

or necessary

[modern kindle]

I have a joker that sets a hand size and draws temporarily once I'm home i can look

[hushed field]

that wouldn't affect turtlebean, though, would it?

[modern kindle]

It shouldn't touch it no, i thought the issue was smth that was being done was impacting turtle bean my b

[scarlet spire]

that's so odd, why is it happening to me but not you

to the extent that turtle bean does it too

[hushed field]

I'm testing some jokers rn, but after that I'll clear my mods file and install smods clean with only debugplus, and see if it happens on my end still too

maybe I've patched something that accidentally solves that behaviour, but I don't think so. The only patch in the draw behaviour I have is one that stops all drawing from happening if you have a specific joker, but that can't affect this

[zealous glen]

I don't know if I would consider DebugPlus' remove to be reliable to test this

[rain slate]

how are you supposed to change the text at the bottom

label doesn't do anything ```lua
tecci_cursed = {
name = 'Cursed',
label = 'Cursed',
text = {
'Converted into {C:attention}Jimbo{}',
'after {C:attention}#1#{} rounds',
'{C:inactive}({C:attention}#2#{C:inactive} remaining)'
}
}

[zealous glen]

That's a badge

[rain slate]

I know

but others I've seen use label for that

[zealous glen]

That's probably modded

I've never seen that

[scarlet spire]

I mean, it shouldn't affect my joker because all that is going on is the checking of the length of g.consumeables.cards, and that is detected correctly

[signal oak]

can anyone help me with my first joker? the github page really isnt helping me understand anything i have steammodded downloaded and lovely but what now?

[scarlet spire]

also just tried it with selling and it does the same thing

[zealous glen]

now you code

[signal oak]

i code w h e r e

[zealous glen]

also the way you do it is very jank

[zealous glen]

use your text software of choice, although I'd recommend one made for coding

[rain slate]

so would it be called badge then
