(bump)

[hushed field]

there's no default dropdown menu option for ui, is there?

[red flower]

i havent seen one at least

whats the code

[long sun]

_ _

[red flower]

no idea sorry

[hushed field]

hmmpf, I guess I have to figure out how I wanna do this then. I guess I could just say fuck it and make people type the string key

I don't feel like going through the effort of making a dropdown ui element, that sounds like it'd be difficult and time consuming

[zealous glen]

try to find where in the dumps the error comes from

[long sun]

if effect.juice_card then G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'immediate', func = function () effect.juice_card:juice_up(0.1); scored_card:juice_up(0.1); return true end})) end

[zealous glen]

I think that's a SMODS bug

It's trying to juice the deck but there's nothing to juice

[long sun]

ah

[zealous glen]

Maybe

Try asking someone who knows better like Eremel or aure

[long sun]

@wintry solar being asked to ask you :D

[wintry solar]

hmmm?

[long sun]

lemme redescribe my bug ^^

• my deck draws some cards face down
• currently, it's drawing a full hand of face-up cards, then crashing

• code is here

• crash log is here

[long sun]

• i think this is the line of code being referenced

[lucid owl]

is there a way to manipulate pools easily? i'm trying to make a voucher that requires blank and antimatter, and when purchased, brings the blank and antimatter vouchers back into the pool of purchasable vouchers

[hushed field]

i don't think you wanna manipulate pools, i think you just want to remove those vouchers from the table that tracks which things aren't allowed to spawn anymore because they've been purchased, no? My understanding is that even non-jokers are stored in used_jokers, but I'm not sure

[wintry solar]

I am unsure on how context.stay_flipped works, I can take a look in an hour or so for you

[long sun]

that'd be awesome, thanks :D

[lucid owl]

hmm, that'd make sense

pretty sure it's used_vouchers

i can probably just loop through that and delete values that match once the voucher is redeemed

[tardy reef]

Hi, I'm trying to mod a single joker into the game to try and get familiar with the process, and I wanted to ask if there's anything special that's necessary to get a legendary joker to spawn from a soul card?

[long sun]

nope! that happens automatically :D

[tardy reef]

Hmm, then I'm either really unlucky or I messed up somewhere lol

I'm using the brainstorm mod to get a soul card right away and have found every vanilla legendary multiple times already

[long sun]

mm, you should use DebugPlus to spawn it

[tardy reef]

I managed to get him to show up in the collection, so I must've done parts of it right at least lol

[long sun]

ooh looks awesome!

ya it should spawn, you're probably just unlucky

[tardy reef]

Oop, there it is lol

[long sun]

:D sweet

[tardy reef]

Yeah that was just unlucky lol

[modern kindle]

Lady luck is a fickle mistress

[tardy reef]

Now to figure out how to get the ability working, cause it crashed right away after earning money

[faint yacht]

Been meaning to actually ping you about atlas and enhancement stuff, kinda forgot whilst figuring the wackiness out.

• Atlas is 71x104, but I want the suit atlas to remain drawn 71x95.
• display_size = { w = 71, h = 104 } is defined. Setting pixel_size = { w = 71, h = 95 } does nil.
• Whenever cards are drawn to hand, if the card has this enhancement, it is automatically drawn to hand, even if it was not chosen to be during the initial draw.
• Whilst the if context.hand_drawn and G.deck and #G.deck.cards > 0 and card and context.cardarea == G.deck then check works with draw_card(G.deck, G.hand, nil, "up", true, card) within calculate of the SMODS.Enhancement definition, if you exit to the main menu without doing anything else and re-enter the saved game, the drawn cards by the draw_card function are back in the deck instead.

[placid star]

can anyone see any errors? my code crashes on use of the consumable

[tall apex]

does anyone know how to make the legendary joker do the legendary thing?

like with the hovering texture

[placid star]

soul_pos for the hovering sprite and pos for the back sprite

[tall apex]

gothca, tysm!!

WORD?S??

gotcha

thamnks X3

[tardy reef]

Ok it seems to work just fine (effect is very simple all things considered, and I based a lot of the code from a joker from the extra credit mod that does a similar thing), but the little pop-up when the XMult scales doesn't show up

I don't really have a clue of what I'm doing, and I also don't know where to look for how to do it right

[lucid owl]

this adds the blank voucher back into the pool, but then once it's in the pool it isn't removed when purchased again (so it just shows up over and over again) aghh

[faint yacht]

Forgot an extra end there for the Blank voucher set.

[placid star]

😭#

[lucid owl]

strangly didn't change anything. checking G.GAME.used_vouchers shows that they weren't removed

[faint yacht]

iirc Betmma's Vouchers has a voucher that "unredeems" vouchers without removing the effects so that they can be purchased again. 🤔

[heady siren]

I'VE BEEN MENTIONED

[zealous glen]

Kàeda mentioned

[heady siren]

Catbot acknowledged

[lucid owl]

would you happen to know what that one is called?

[faint yacht]

Been a bit since then, not sure.

[next timber]

is there a way to tell how many hands have been played so far in a run?

[zealous glen]

I think so because there's a Tag that uses it

[placid star]

does anyone know how to get my vscode to autofill function parameters? i tried to add the smods folder to my workspace but it didnt work...

[quartz ravine]

Wow that stunk, two + hour power outage due to these storms

I am working on my last two jokers, trying to think of a fun idea. I have an adorable FF6 moogle and I want to play around with his ability of random chance and also dancing, since he does dance related moves in the game.

I was thinking he would respect the same random hand selected every round that 'To Do List' rewards, and if you play that he would randomly enhance cards played for that hand.

Too powerful?

[glass scaffold]

How do I make the Xmult variable constantly change?

[primal robin]

Am I only one who make entry point for mod as index.lua?

[modern kindle]

Is it random enhancements or a specific one

[primal robin]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[modern kindle]

<@&1133519078540185692>

Shoot him dead

[edgy reef]

Roll the tanks out

[primal robin]

Light them up

[keen gorge]

🔫

[placid star]

mods cut off his balls

[modern kindle]

Thanks for your service

[quartz ravine]

I thought every round, it would call poll_enhancement

[primal robin]

Here's your 20$ as promised

But we'll take 5 cards

[modern kindle]

Are all cards being granted or random cards too

Ie, I have jokers that have individual chances per card to roll

[placid star]

? maybe...

[modern kindle]

Er, not too but

[keen gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/seal-dog-winnie-cool-dog-big-mac-gif-13280495385473750927

[modern kindle]

Will it be guaranteed 5 applications for 5 cards, or can it be 1 of the 5

[quartz ravine]

ah, each card has a random chance to be enhnced for the played hand. And the hand is also randomly chosen.

It will do 1 / 3 odds

[modern kindle]

Gotcha so the played hand entirely gets the enhancement and not indiv rolls per card

Honestly it's probably fine I'd say around a uncommon area or so

[quartz ravine]

Interesting, I did not know that to_do_pokerhand isn't a public var, like G.GAME.AncientJokerSuit (or however that goes)

[placid star]

can anyone help? my game keeps crashing on this line, so basically im trying to generate any joker with the custom rarity 'special', my mod prefix is jjok btw

[strong jacinth]

Hover over the G

Luke show why there is a squiggly

[placid star]

that happens with all my G's tho

[strong jacinth]

And the error is?

Please screenshot and don't paste

[strong jacinth]

Go to mods/lovely/dump/functions/common_events.lua

And screenshot around the line 2312

[strong jacinth]

The key needs to be of the joker, if os any

[quartz ravine]

this is the way

[placid star]

i thought the key could be of a rarity and it would generate a random joker of that rarity?

[quartz ravine]

I just apply rarity after making a joker, seems to work for me

[placid star]

even with a custom rarity?

turns out i was a stoopy head and this was all i had to do ^^

[quartz ravine]

Oh you made a custom rarity? I haven't done htis, only custom enhancements and editions

[placid star]

tbf the github gives the impression that you need to input an integer value imo

[placid star]

yeah it was pretty easy actually! and i needed a higher rarity for jokers that do this...

[quartz ravine]

I haven't seen the show but that looks sooo slick

[placid star]

frrr its actually a pretty good show! hence why im making the mod on it

otherwise it woulda been elden ring or something 😆

[scarlet spire]

I've created a custom stake that goes before gold stake, how do I get the changes in that stake to retroactively apply to gold stake?

[quartz ravine]

Today I learned lua does not allow PowerShell style Verb-Noun function names 😦

[stark geode]

you can still do verb_noun()

[tender meteor]

how would i go about changing the skins of a few joker cards?

[quartz ravine]

Well that was very easy. I have overwritten To-do list to now always fire, so my moogle card will coalesce with it

[stark geode]

anyone know how to retrigger jokers

[faint yacht]

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

if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= card then
  return {
    message = localize('k_again_ex'),
    repetitions = 1,
  }
end

[primal robin]

Again!

[glass scaffold]

[glass scaffold]

how'd you do the background for it?

[placid star]

the background?

you mean the badge colour?

[glass scaffold]

No, for the Joker

[tall apex]

does anyone know how i'd go about making a joker that always rolls for an edition when spawned and can't have the standard edition? :3

[quartz ravine]

Hi folks, anyone have a sample of how to check for the rpesence of another joker card? I want to program a card to use the value of another card if present

[quartz ravine]

I've got you

[tall apex]

guh????? :3

[quartz ravine]

here, add this

        -- sendInfoMessage("triggering on pickup logic for this card", self.key)
        local edition = poll_edition()
        card:set_edition(edition, false)
        card.cost = 10
    end,```

[placid star]

i still dont get you, do you mean how do you define the rarity and assign it to the joker?

[tall apex]

are you luia jeesus :3

[glass scaffold]

i mean the art background for the joker

[placid star]

ahh, just add soul_pos = {x = (x coords), y = (y coords)} on top of having your pos = {}

pos is for the background though and soul_pos is for the floating sprite

[glass scaffold]

no, i mean where'd you get the background (like in the screenshot)

[scarlet spire]

that's just the legendary background recolored

[glass scaffold]

where do you get it without the text or having a sprite on top of it?

I need it for art I'm wokring on for a mod

[quartz ravine]

Ah, it is in the base textures, let me give you the path

[tall apex]

so how does this work btw? :3

[quartz ravine]

it's found in resources\textures\1x\jokers.png, it's like half day down

[tall apex]

im spawning it in but no edition but that might be a like, debugplus thing

[quartz ravine]

ok, add that to your joker, it will ensure that when the joker is spawned to appear in a list, that it will enforce an edition

[tall apex]

i did :3

[quartz ravine]

I use that to ensure one joker always has hologram applied to it

[tall apex]

ohhh to appear in a list

[tall apex]

oh word, so if i were to get it from the soul card would that work?

[graceful magnet]

trying to make a Joker that makes Uncommons be free, and I've copied over the set_cost function (so I don't break it) and added what I'd assumed would work, but it doesn't, as Madness here would be $0

[faint yacht]

.extra_value?

[tall apex]

... wait do i have to put a specific edition inside the thing you gave me?

i feel like a cavewoman given a smartphone rn

[stark geode]

Thx

[remote sequoia]

How can one check if it's specifically (not) a celestial pack in a consumable's can_use function with G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED consolidating all the packs together?

[graceful magnet]

if in a Joker, context.open_booster and not context.card.ability.name:find('Celestial')

[remote sequoia]

Not in a joker, a consumable, specifically in the can_use function.

[graceful magnet]

welll self.ability.name:find('Celestial') is usable outside of Jokers so it's probably a good idea to fiddle around with that

[remote sequoia]

I'll give it a shot!

[graceful magnet]

there we go

[remote sequoia]

Crashed, no ability field

[graceful magnet]

self needs to be your target

the booster pack

[remote sequoia]

can_use only supplies self and card as arguments unfortunately

[tall apex]

hmm, does anyone know how to reffer to the edition of the joker in a context?

[red flower]

joker.edition?

[tall apex]

i thought it'd be like center.self.edition

[tall apex]

ur smort ty :3

[graceful magnet]

post the code, that gives needed context

[tall apex]

hmm.,,

[remote sequoia]

I'm not sure it does, but here ya go lua can_use = function(self, card) if G.STATE ~= G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED and G.STATE ~= G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND and G.STATE ~= G.STATES.PLAY_TAROT then if G.play and #G.play.cards > 0 then return true end if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED or G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK then return true end end return false end,

[tall apex]

say whats the difference between two equals signs and one?

[quartz ravine]

!!

one is assignment, the other for comparison

[graceful magnet]

== is a comparison, = is assigning

[remote sequoia]

two equals is comparing the variables, one is assigning

[tall apex]

AH!

big brain, big learn

im taking a coding class this summer :3

[quartz ravine]

local k = 4
--k is now 4

k == 4
-- returns true or false

[tall apex]

tyty!

visual examples do me super good :3

[graceful magnet]

integral bit of code knowledge because the vast majority of languages will scream at you for mixing it up

[tall apex]

does that make ~= comparison?

[red flower]

yes

[remote sequoia]

yeah, that's specifically not equal to

[tall apex]

oooh :3

[graceful magnet]

~= is Lua (this language) for "Not Equals"

!= is the one I'm used to, which is JavaScript, C#, Python too I believe

[maiden phoenix]

Just a warning, copying a whole function rather than overriding it/using a lovely patch can have consequences with other mods

[tall apex]

trying to troubleshoot this without overtly asking for the solution :3

[remote sequoia]

Which you'd think not x == y and x ~= y would always return the same, but depending on the variables in question might not be true.

[graceful magnet]

latter should be card.edition

[red flower]

oh if you want the edition of the joker that is calculating it's card.edition

[tall apex]

ah, there we go :3

i was like, trying to figure out the right lingo

[red flower]

joker is just a generic name i gave it because i didnt know what context you were talking about

[tall apex]

OHHHH

i thought it reffered to the thing but that was stupy because all objects are cards

[graceful magnet]

I have a Joker with an editions gimmick

[red flower]

because they're not the same. not (x == y) is the same as x ~= y

[tall apex]

im making mine rn, its myself as a legendary actually!!

[maiden phoenix]

I don't think the update bit is necessary, it can be put into calculate, before returning x_mult

[graceful magnet]

it's in update because the tooltip changes in accordance

[maiden phoenix]

You can get make your loc_vars modular

[red flower]

yeah it's not a good idea to do things in update unless you really need to

[maiden phoenix]

Something like this

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            local foilMult = 2
            -- bla bla edition check
            return {vars = {foilMult}}
        end,

[tall apex]

wait isn't there a place to check all the functions and stuff

like repititions, editions, all that junk :3

[graceful magnet]

I kind of use update as like a persistent context for very specific things, I have a bunch that use it but I know per frame actions can be rough so I try to keep it light

[graceful magnet]

repetitions is a case-by-case variable and not a global thing, edition is like sort of same but different in that edition is actually a global thing that's tracked but nothing starts with it

[red flower]

i can assure you 100% of those can be replaced for in-place calculations

[graceful magnet]

Too Code ; Didn't Get It: repetitions is defined within a Joker, edition is applied to a card, and you may encounter issues if you code stuff that assumes everything has either of them, because neither of them are inherently present.

[tall apex]

oh, well how do I add repititions :3

[maiden phoenix]

I'd recommend reading this: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

[graceful magnet]

If you do not have Balatro's decompiled code, this is a good resource for most basic Joker ideas
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[tall apex]

oh, i spelled repetitions wrong . 3.

[graceful magnet]

if you do have Balatro's decompiled code

I'd like to say that's still better because Balatro's code fucking sucks, but it's technically a better resource because then you can actually find the code for basically everything you'd want to do

[tall apex]

i do, i was looking at cryptid's chad for reference but i should prob look at base game more . 3.

[maiden phoenix]

Or just look into your Mods/lovely/dump folder, it's better since it lets you see applied lovely patches too

[silk scaffold]

i return again to ask for help!!!

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
      if G.GAME.blind.boss then
          card.ability.extra.ante_count = card.ability.extra.ante_count + 1,
          card.ability.extra.chip_gain = card.ability.extra.chip_bonus * card.ability.extra.ante_count,
          card.ability.extra.mult_gain = card.ability.extra.mult_bonus * card.ability.extra.ante_count
        return {
          message = localize("Ante up!"),
          colour = G.C.attention,
          card = card
        }
      end
    end
      if context.joker_main then 
          return {
              chips = card.ability.extra.chip_gain,
              mult = card.ability.extra.mult_gain,
          }
      end
  end
}```
for some reason its saying theres an unexpected symbol near line 45 which is the chip gain and the mult gain calculate function

[red flower]

remove the commas

[silk scaffold]

oh lol

ty lol

i assumed it was like other parts of making a joker haha

[tall apex]

my turn for troubleshooting im at a loss for why this isn't triggering

it certanly only crashed my game when the editions matched beforehand but now its like, yeah i see it but im not gonna do anything

[graceful magnet]

repetitions

[red flower]

also you dont need the message or the card in the return they're done automatically by smods

[tall apex]

splendid

[tall apex]

word :3

[quartz ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/kronk-emperors-new-groove-its-all-coming-together-gif-12813012

[tall apex]

still no repetitions :c

[primal robin]

Imagine adding gamepad support when you don't have gamepad to work with

[red flower]

half of my mods have gamepad support and the other half are unplayable if you use a gamepad (i only made 2 mods)

[primal robin]

[tall apex]

heck

[gilded narwhal]

Is there a way for the +10 extra chips to appear before the gains +10 chips when scored?

The +10 extra chips is just coming from a bonus

[zealous glen]

@tepid crow ?

[silk scaffold]

someone told me how to make a joker always spawn as eternal regardless of stake but i forgot

[tepid crow]

how are you adding the "gain +10 chips when scored" line?

[gilded narwhal]

just from loc_txt

[tepid crow]

cuz I'm guessing this is a lovely patch which means you just need the right order of localize calls

oh, it's an enhancement?

[tall apex]

is card.edition wrong here? im confuse ._.

[gilded narwhal]

Yeah lmao

[tepid crow]

what is this indentation 😭

[tall apex]

silly :3

[tepid crow]

more like a crime

or possibly a crime scene

[tepid crow]

Yeah I don't think smods has anything built-in to shift those around (?), so it'll be in the order of:

1. base chips
2. enhancement
3. perma bonuses

if you really want to change the order, you could start making lovely patches, but it'll be a bit of pain

[gilded narwhal]

it's not worth 😭

[tall apex]

[daring fern]

You need to check for context.retrigger_joker_check for retriggering jokers and context.repetition for retriggering playing cards

[tall apex]

you need to check for the context for..,, the thing im trying to output?

[daring fern]

context.individual should be context.repetition and context.other_joker should be context.other_card and you should be checking for retrigger joker

[tall apex]

[stark geode]

how do i check for the key of a specific joker

in Other_card

[daring fern]

if context.other_card.config.center.key == key

[tall apex]

like this?

[daring fern]

You need to replace all other_jokers with other_card and you should only be checking retrigger joker for when you are retriggering a joker

[silk scaffold]

how do i make it so a joker only spawns as eternal?

or as an edition?

[tall apex]

i am trying to retrigger both jokers and cards :(

[stark geode]

cant get my jerker to retrigger my perkeos

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'just_the_perks',
    rarity = "Perkolator_Perkeo_R",
    calculate = function (self,card,context)
        if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= card and (context.other_card.config.center.rarity == "Perkolator_Perkeo_R" or  context.other_card.config.center.key == 'j_perkeo') then
            print("triggered")
            return {
              message = "Again!",
              repetitions = 1,
            }
          end
    end,
}

[faint yacht]

j_modprefix_key

[stark geode]

i took owneership of perkro

so ig that makes sense

[tall apex]

i did and its still not doing anything :c

[next timber]

new joker what do we think

[stark geode]

regardless of if i put the prefix or not it doesnt retigger

[gentle rain]

very silly very snowbally i like it

[stark geode]

even if i take owner and give it the perkeo rarity

[tall apex]

im struggling with retriggers too :(

[stark geode]

every other joker i give the rarity to retiggers

[gentle rain]

retriggering what

[stark geode]

perkeo

[tall apex]

im trying to retrigger cards that match the edition of this joker

but like, its just being like nuh uh

[gentle rain]

hmmmmm

[tall apex]

this is my current code

[gentle rain]

how would you fetch a card's edition?

[tall apex]

well like this no?

the edition is getting fetched, its the repitition that isn't happening

[stark geode]

context.other_card ~= card

i think you need this

[tall apex]

where?

[stark geode]

with context.rep

if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card

[unborn bay]

why are you comparing context.other_card with card.edition

[quartz ravine]

Whoa....does lua support breakpoints?!

[faint yacht]

Wouldn't it be "context.other_joker"?

[stark geode]

ehh

ig

lemme try iy

[tall apex]

i literally do not know

[unborn bay]

[tall apex]

wait is this also needed?

im so confused..

[red flower]

comparing edtions directly didnt work for me but comparing keys did

[stark geode]

it crashed

[tall apex]

and the first half of my code is just jibberish p much?

[red flower]

yes

[stark geode]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'just_the_perks',
    rarity = "Perkolator_Perkeo_R",
    calculate = function (self,card,context)
        if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= card and (context.other_card.config.center.rarity == "Perkolator_Perkeo_R" or  context.other_card.config.center.key == 'j_Perkolator_perkeo') then
            print("triggered")
            return {
              message = "Again!",
              repetitions = 1,
            }
          end
    end,
}

shouldt this retrig perkeo

[red flower]

was just looking at it, looks correct to me comparing with cryptid but i literally never worked with retriggers

joker retriggers

[tall apex]

i based it off stardust

[red flower]

stupid question but do you have them enabled?

[stark geode]

retiggers?

yeah

it retiggers all jokers of the perkeo rarity

but perkeo wont

even if i give it the rarity

[tall apex]

well half of it works, thats better than none of it working :3

[stark geode]

yeah ig

[red flower]

if you remove the context.other_card check does it work

[tall apex]

wait quick whats the joker card area called

[stark geode]

still odd

[tall apex]

oh i was talking about mine . 3.;

[stark geode]

https://tenor.com/view/balatro-nope-wheel-northernlion-fortune-gif-1884086658338738891

[red flower]

then its a problem with perkeo retriggering specifically

rather than your code

[stark geode]

odd

[stark geode]

thing is my print staement doesnt even work

[daring fern]

Maybe it’s because perkeo doesn’t return anything so it has nothing to retrigger

[shrewd cobalt]

Trying to spawn a card when the deck starts, getting the attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)" error

[stark geode]

it retriggers my perkolator wich behaves the same way perko does

[red flower]

the key needs to be j_modprefix_key
but also use SMODS.add_card instead

[shrewd cobalt]

ahhh, thank you

[gilded narwhal]

fervent card and the magus

[peak obsidian]

blind

[signal oak]

how do i uninstall lovely

[tall apex]

blink blonk :3

[maiden phoenix]

Delete the version.dll file

[signal oak]

whers that

[peak obsidian]

located in your balatro installation (where the executable is)

[signal oak]

all i see is love.dll and when i delete that it breaks and i cant open balatro

[tall apex]

hey im in the home stretch, where am i going wrong retriggering other jokers?

[maiden phoenix]

Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro

I think verifying the game files work too?

[red flower]

it's other_card not other_joker for retriggering

[tall apex]

right- fuck

i forgot

[signal oak]

that doesnt work sadly

[dense yoke]

i just reinstalled balatro to teach my gf
can yall remind me how to install steamodded..?

i just cant remember anything

[tall apex]

still not retriggering :(

[maiden phoenix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDfxnwHO134

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check maybe? idk

[tall apex]

mayhaps..,

[faint yacht]

Is .edition.key even defined? Are you checking if the Joker has any edition?

[tall apex]

yes, any edition that matches the edition this joker has!

[high sinew]

Could anyone help me with initial mod running?

[tall apex]

IT WORKS

[high sinew]

i think ive set up most of the mod to just try and see if it works if anyone is expirenced lmk in terms of helping

[tall apex]

GEEMIOUYS

https://tenor.com/view/cat-shake-gif-19831790

uh oh

[red flower]

what happened

[tall apex]

it triggered the played cards twice as much

which i think i can just.,,,,,,,,

delete that part then?

[red flower]

hmm i dont think thats the problem but try it out

[tall apex]

well that just made it stop workin x-x

so back to what i had before, i still need to define the first part to target jokers and NOT the played cards

[red flower]

can you format your code lol

[tall apex]

i dont really know how but i can try :3

[red flower]

right click > format document if you have the lua extension

[placid star]

can anyone help me? how would i get cycles to be able to be used in arithmetic in the config = {} section of the code? if any of that makes any sense...

[tall apex]

i dont think i have that

[red flower]

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/?itemName=sumneko.lua

[tall apex]

is this.,, drag and drop or as complex as installing plugins in FLstudio

[daring fern]

You press install

[tall apex]

i tried getting rid of space :3

[red flower]

you can't. you need to update the other values in calculate when you update cycles

my problem was indentation mostly

[tall apex]

ok i installed it :3

wheres the magic format button

[tall apex]

hm, that doesnt seem to have changed anything

or wait did it?

[red flower]

try format document with > lua

[tall apex]

no it just made calculate green

still nothing, just changed colors around

[red flower]

weird well having the extension is nice anyway

oh wait i see why

[tall apex]

it made my file name redd :3

[red flower]

you have a syntax error

it doesnt format with syntax errors

[tall apex]

AH

still nope

i fixed that

[red flower]

is it still red

[tall apex]

its yellow now

and underlining smods, poll_edition, and localize

[red flower]

yeah that makes sense
i recommend adding the smods folder to your workspace

[tall apex]

-# what the hell is a workspace

[red flower]

the space youre working on :3

[tall apex]

oh.,,

so adding smods would help?

[red flower]

it will give you autocomplete

for all the smods stuff

[tall apex]

AH! AND THERE IS COLOR ONCE MORE

formatting still isnt doing anything tho

[red flower]

does the mod run

[tall apex]

it do :3

[red flower]

then ur computer is cursed and cant do formatting

[tall apex]

guh??

[red flower]

anyway this looks ok to me idk why it is repeating twice

[tall apex]

idk either

[lament agate]

@high sinew this is the channel where you ask helps for developing a mod

[high sinew]

oh ok bet

[red flower]

what do you need help with

[high sinew]

dm'd u for simplicity

[pseudo current]

Guys help

Every time a Joker upgrades itself this Joker gains x0.05 Mult
(Current x1.0 Mult, excludes himself and his copies)

Is this posible to code?

[zealous glen]

what's upgrading?

In the game, only poker hands can be upgraded

[minor furnace]

what on earth kind of table is this what is talisman doing

what were they smoking

[pseudo current]

When a Joker upgrades itself

like when square Joker gains 4 chips

like that

Like this

[zealous glen]

I don't think it can work for modded Jokers but you could maybe hardcode vanilla Jokers and your mod's Jokers to make it work

[twin flicker]

Can someone help me with a joker Im making? It currently retriggers twice for every played Jack but I want it to also retrigger the next scored card once

[minor furnace]

I hate Talisman

[tall apex]

wait so with the workspace thing why is it doing the underlines again?

[red flower]

some of them are going to be from the vanilla game, you can disable that warning but i dont remember how rn

[tall apex]

valid

... ok so its retriggering cards 13 times? the retrigger is set to 3

[placid star]

erm guys... i dont even know whats happening anymore and i wrote the code

[plush cove]

card.ability.extra

not card.extra.ability

[placid star]

ahhh

[minor furnace]

talisman got me adding a new decimal place to my version number out of pure spite

[tall apex]

im still on 0.0.1 :3

[red flower]

so true

[minor furnace]

this is objectively correct

[stark geode]

Lmao I might switch to single numbers at this rate

That or ver.revison

[minor furnace]

the other reason I hate talisman, is in addition to turning things into tables and making my life a pain, it feels wrong playing without the card scoring animations

[tall apex]

you can toggle that in talisman settings

[minor furnace]

ah good to know

[plush cove]

my versioning scheme is:

MAJORUPDATE.BREAKINGMINORUPDATE.NONBREAKINGMINORUPDATE

[minor furnace]

why is no animations the default though 😔

[plush cove]

breaking updates are generally ones where I've either restructured or added new data

to the G.GAME object

[placid star]

do you have a solution for this not working? i also tried card.loc_vars.vars.stagetxt as well

[plush cove]

i dont think you can control loc_vars like that

[placid star]

oh damn, i was looking to change the description of my joker based on which phase out of 3 it was in...

could i just straight up change the entire description of the joker in loc_txt

[minor furnace]

I was going to say you could use a localization file to add something to the info_queue, but then I don't know if you'd be able to pass variables to it

[pseudo current]

Written In Stone (Uncommon) $7
Stone cards count as any rank to other Jokers

Is this one posible to code?

[minor furnace]

as someone who made an enhancement that counts as every rank, I had to manually patch each of the vanilla jokers to be compatible with it

it is doable, but it will have a lot of overhead

[pseudo current]

damm

[zealous glen]

you can return a string as a localization variable but I'd recommend using main_end

what is this

[minor furnace]

actually yeah this is much simpler

[placid star]

hmm would you have an example of how to implement smth like that?

[river crane]

I had an idea for an enhancement and a Joker that I want to add, but I have no Lua knowledge. How difficult would it be for someone with zero Lua knowledge, but has experience in other langs to add an enhancement, and a joker to apply that enhancement?

[tall apex]

does anyone have any idea why this is retriggering played cards 13 times when repetitions is set to 3?

[minor furnace]

you could just do
return { vars = { "gain" .. card.ability.extra.dollars .. "dollars at end of round" } }

[zealous glen]

@placid star

That one probably does way more than you need because I have some dynamic ones

actually here's a simpler one

it's similar to Invisible Joker

local _generate_main_end = function(card)
    if not misc.is_in_your_collection(card) then
        local add_node = function(nodes, text, colour)
            nodes[#nodes + 1] = {
                n = G.UIT.T,
                config = {
                    text = text,
                    colour = colour,
                    scale = 0.3
                }
            }
        end

        local nodes_ = {}

        add_node(nodes_, '(Currently ', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)
        add_node(nodes_, tostring(card.ability.extra.blinds_defeated), G.C.FILTER)
        add_node(nodes_, '/', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)
        add_node(nodes_, tostring(card.ability.extra.blinds_to_defeat), G.C.FILTER)
        add_node(nodes_, ')', G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE)

        return {{
            n = G.UIT.C,
            config = {
                align = "bm",
                padding = 0.02
            },
            nodes = {{
                n = G.UIT.R,
                config = {
                    align = "cm"
                },
                nodes = nodes_
            }}
        }}
    end
end

-# At some point this hardcoded text should be localized

@minor furnace an example of what you can do with main_end

[minor furnace]

ah I see

[zealous glen]

I use it for a Invisible Joker-like counter so that it doesn't show up in the collection

[tall apex]

ive narrowed it down to the line before this, whenever that one isnt working the bottom one does the right amount of retriggers, so somehow the top part is looking at played cards

but.,.,, not giving them retriggers?

[placid star]

so would something like this work?

[minor furnace]

I would imagine you can do something similar to that
it would have to go in your loc_vars function

although I have no clue what ino_function is

[placid star]

i have no clue what im doing tbh im so tired

even i dont know what my code does atp

[minor furnace]

that loc_vars should be
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

[placid star]

oh yeah, i keep forgetting how to actually do loc_vars lmao

[twin flicker]

Does anyone know how to make it so a joker triggering makes the played card to right of the current one being scored trigger an additional time?

Sounds pretty confusing lmao, but the concept is if played card is a jack retrigger itself twice and the card to its right once

[rich geyser]

Hey guys, does anyone know how to put discards to an absolute 0? I'm using the base config, which works for white stake (discards = -3, means starting with 0 ), but on blue stakes and higher, it starts with -1 discards, which is not optimal for pretty obvious reasons

[quartz ravine]

I thought $15 would be enough, but it still seems too cheap

What sounds like a good price? Now I am thinking ~$25 maybe

[scarlet spire]

maybe, i'd say 15 is already a decent investment, especially if you can't guarantee the received joker will actually fit your build

20 might be a good middle ground

[twin flicker]

I think 25 is solid tbh 20 not bad either

[formal parrot]

25

[quartz ravine]

I will make the price linked to how many people are in this discord at a given time 😈

[scarlet spire]

also worth noting that getting new negatives (especially random) is less powerful than having one of your existing jokers turned negative

i'd say 20 is pretty good for choosing 1 negative joker out of a completely random 5

[zealous glen]

why not 1 from 4?

[twin flicker]

My opinion is that theres so many more jokers that are useful negative than are useful non-negative

[placid star]

okay so could i apply styling to this? e.g. {C:white,X:mult}

[minor furnace]

something like this should work

    key = 'ino',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Takaba Ino',
        text = {
            "Cycles through effects",
            "Currently gives #1#"
        }
    },
    config = {
        extra = {
            stage = 0,
            xmult = 1,
            chips = 1,
            money = 1
        }
    },
    atlas = "atlas_name",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        if card.ability.extra.stage == 0 then
            return {vars = {"X" ..card.ability.extra.xmult .. " Mult"}}
        elseif card.ability.extra.stage == 1 then
            return {vars = {"{C:chips}+" ..card.ability.extra.chips .. " Chips"}}
        else
            return {vars = {"$" ..card.ability.extra.xmult .. " at the end of round"}}
        end
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.setting_blind then
            card.ability.extra.stage = card.ability.extra.stage + 1 % 3
        end
    end
}```

however, you can't get color formatting this way

[quartz ravine]

I asked my artist to make this little baby and I totally forgot my plans for what it was going to do

[high sinew]

Im creating a joker leveling system for my mod right now the idea is that it starts on the pimento pepper (ive attached photo). I also want it to keep track of mult at bottom and to say it gains +3 mult. When the joker destroys itself and adds the next level it crashes my game

[placid star]

hm maybe i could split it into two outputs? for example {C:white,X:mult}#1# {}#2#

[zealous glen]

adorable

[minor furnace]

that should work I beleive

but then it'll always be the xmult color

[placid star]

yeah i just thought of that whilst writing the code

can i use variables to declare styling?

[tall apex]

kitttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :3

oh also fox i had an ask, i wrapped up the actual ability i just need help with your little script thingy

[placid star]

GUYS CAN I USE VARIABLES TO DECLARE STYLING??

[quartz ravine]

What is the error you see when this happens?

[quartz ravine]

Hi Kawaii, what's up?

[tall apex]

hi! so my joker is occasionally spawning in with an edition and i think thats from your script you gave me! I need make sure it is garunteed to spawn with an edition, but any edition

do you know how i could use this to do that?

[quartz ravine]

lol, I've got something for you

[tall apex]

oh wonderful! :D

[placid star]

GUYS PLEASE MY JOKER DESCRIPTION LOOKS LIKE ASS

[quartz ravine]

local polledEdiiton = nil
local counter = 0
while(nil == polledEdiiton)
do
   polledEdiiton = poll_edition()
   counter = counter +1
end

print("It took " .. counter .. " tries, but we will apply edition of " .. polledEdiiton, self.key)
--bonus, do something fun with the counter
card.ability.perma_bonus = counter

oops, a few tyops there

[tall apex]

tyops yum :3

[tall apex]

wait should i have this WITH what i already have?

[quartz ravine]

removed what you had and put the new sample instead

[tall apex]

gotcha :3

silly print command..,,

it.,.,, it didn't apply the edition but it definately rolled for one LMAO

[zealous glen]

you can do this

[placid star]

wait howd u do that...

[zealous glen]

{V:x} and inside loc_vars you can return {vars = {colours = {…}]} and the x-th color in vars.colours is used for the respective part of the textbox

[tall apex]

yoinky hand.,,

[high sinew]

rn setting up the pimento pepper the first evolution and it was not adding joker at first tried chagning up code idk what this error means

[tall apex]

how does this.,,, actually set the edition?

[quartz ravine]

That just keeps running poll_edition until it gives you an edition, you do still need to run the :set_edition() code

[tall apex]

ohhhhh the set edition thing is whats doing it i thought edition = was setting it :3

[quartz ravine]

oops, I see what happened. Sorry to lead you into the briars!

[tall apex]

nono, its a good learning experience! im not very good so like figuring out what does what, even in a nieche, is very helpful :3

[quartz ravine]

Hey, you asked for help. That is more than like 50% of junior devs do!

[tall apex]

help is important in learning a new skill!! as an artist ik that all too well

[quartz ravine]

Shhh don't tell people you're an artist around here!

[tall apex]

guh wha why

is it a TOS nono?

[remote sequoia]

looks like a problem with the new card you're creating, you

whoops hit enter

looks like you're calling the joker's name where you want the area that the joker should be getting put in.

[tall apex]

im so close i can feel it . w.

[quartz ravine]

Oh I was just being silly, lots of us are programmers here and are desperate for art help lol

[tall apex]

oh, im the uno reverse of that!

[quartz ravine]

Looking at the code, which variable contains the edition we want to set?

is it polledEdition or edition?

[tall apex]

polledEdition, no?

[quartz ravine]

yes! but which one are you using when you call set_edition?

[high sinew]

yea ik im trying to see how i can fix this

[tall apex]

AH.

[high sinew]

not sure how you remove a joker to replace with another in a sense

like its leveling up the joker

[tall apex]

im calling for the current edition rather then thee one polled for if im interpreting it correctly

[remote sequoia]

For what you've got now, try create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'mills_anaheim_chile', 'pep')

[tall apex]

It works!! thank you so much for the help!!

[quartz ravine]

You're welcome 🙂

[tall apex]

this joker is so cool, i love editions and this joker is just me as a 2010 scene core clown girl XP

[remote sequoia]

Though I would think if their functionality is the same and it's simply the card image/name being changed, you could just make all of these one joker and change things about the joker when it upgrades as you want it to.

[red flower]

please use the smods function 😦

[old bane]

im really bad at shaders... how would i make something like cryptid's astral or vanilla's polychrome but just yellow? i'm trying to make it highlight something

[red flower]

you can try card:set_ability("j_modprefix_newkey")

[high sinew]

like this?

[remote sequoia]

Just trying to get their current code working with as little issue as possible. Unless there's a reason for it I'm not aware of, I think what they want to do could be done with a single joker changing rather than multiple jokers replacing one-another in the first place, which wouldn't require SMODS.create_card at all.

[red flower]

yeah that's why i recommended set_ability

[stark geode]

if context.card_added  and context.card.ability.consumeable and not context.blueprint then
            print("triggered")
            if context.card.edition.type == 'negative' then
                print("secnd")
                card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod
                return {
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult,card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod } },
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
        end

so i had this working

it would increase when a negative consumeable was created

but now it wont

idk what i did

[twin flicker]

Does anyone know of a way I can queue a retrigger for a card that isnt being scored yet, and if its possible to pop that retrigger before the initial scoring of that card? if that makes any sense

Or here, does anyone know if there is a way to make the message that pops up for a retrigger different for each retrigger? Like if I had a joker that makes a card retrigger 3 additional times the first time it says "X" under it when it retriggers the second time "X" also and the third time "Y" for example

[red flower]

I think that was recently added to smods. you can do

return {
    repetitions = 1,
    message = "X"
    extra = {
         repetitions = 1,
         message = "Y"
    }
}

etc

[old bane]

how do i get the player's current hand when they reload a run?

[stark geode]

help

[stark geode]

.

[red flower]

no idea sorry

[stark geode]

istg if smods changed somthing

[tall apex]

multiplier.,,

[twin flicker]

Preciate the help, right now it just makes two messages appear consecutively instead of waiting for the second retrigger for the second message to appear

Im not sure what I want is possible though due to only being able to return one thing

[stark geode]

card_added isnt triggering

idk what to do

[proud moon]

helo everybody my nameis multiplier

[red flower]

what version of smods do you have

[glad osprey]

truly only the best ideas being made here

[twin flicker]

"1.0.0~BETA-0324b-STEAMODDED"
I think

[red flower]

yeah it was fixed after that one

the newest version should do what you want

[tall apex]

I just put in the file, it is going to have a lot of content tbh

Not like a crazy amount but lots of rng markiplier quotes

[twin flicker]

Cool thanks, how should I go about updating smods or is it as straightforwards as it sounds? I just dont want what ive been working on to get messed up in any way

[tall apex]

And associated chips mult etc

[glad osprey]

hello everyone my name is multiplier and welcome back to two retriggers at chads

[red flower]

unless there's a really big update most of the time it's just fine to replace the old one with a new one

[tall wharf]

nb

[twin flicker]

does anyone know how
"if context.other_joker"
works? can I use it to make a joker retrigger the joker to its right or something?

[sacred quarry]

Hey guys, super new to modding on here (and coding as well). I really want to add a few of my custom joker art works into the game and mess around with things. Are there any good resources out there to learn what I'm doing? Saw a couple youtube videos, but each person did things differently and skipped a few key steps

[rich geyser]

The official smods documentation and example mods are a good way to start, tho it doesn't include everything, it has the basics you might want to know

[glad osprey]

joker retriggers are not native to balatro iirc so you'd have to allow them to happen

[sacred quarry]

I will definitely check that out

[rich geyser]

tho if you need more help, you can always check youtube tutorials or just ask here, people are usually quite supportive

I talk from experience lol

[sacred quarry]

I feel like we need more youtubers out there lol]

I am so new to this that anything past naming a joker becomes confusing

[glad osprey]

ngl I should make a youtube tutorial series for balatro modding

[sacred quarry]

I kind of understand position and what not, but yeah its so confusing

I literally want to make a joker with +2 mult

thats it lol

[sacred quarry]

you would get a ton of views

[blazing cairn]

theres a balatro modding starter pack in the modding threads section

[sacred quarry]

ooo might have to look into that

need to make this guy a reality

[blazing cairn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY&t=8s youtube vid about creating jokers

[sacred quarry]

loc_vars and config is where that video completely lost me lol

[blazing cairn]

tbh i dont fully understand them either but like they work so

kinda just brute forced thru everything

[narrow iron]

G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand this is the most played poker hand right???

[sacred quarry]

haha yeah i feel it

[rich geyser]

And to modify the config, here's the documentation about SMODS.Joker, tho you'll probably also need to see the one for calculation and stuff

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

[stark geode]

remove the first == G.play check, you just need it for context.cardarea

Trying to make a joker work by randomly changing prices in shop every second, did I mess something up in this function?

[lucid owl]

also, the card = context.other_card isn't needed, and turn Xmult to xmult in the return statement

[sacred quarry]

anyone know why my joker may be looking like this ? I thought I had dimensions right, but it looks really rough on the edges

[crisp elbow]

what's the resolution

[sacred quarry]

I basically did an overlay of the in game joker reference sheet that is provided and added a 1x and 2x folder

just exported the 2x at 200% in asepirite

for example I just made the canvas size fit this joker on the left and exported

[old bane]

finally got this working

[wind steppe]

still isn't working, is it different on older steamodded versions?

[crisp elbow]

base should be 71x95 and 2x should be 142x190, for reference

[sacred quarry]

yeah thats what I exported at

so weird

[crisp elbow]

And you sure it's lined up perfectly? Usually when I try to make a Joker atlas I have it start with just the base image and not use a pre-existing Atlas

[sacred quarry]

you know what

I am an idiot

I updated the PNG files in a separate folder and never dragged into my %appdata% mods folder LMAO

[halcyon osprey]

is there a context for Held in Hand stuff?

[lucid owl]

yeah, things will be a lot different on older steamodded versions

try updating

[narrow iron]

i believe held in hand effects would just use the contexts that fit what they're doing

[halcyon osprey]

i got what i wanted it to do, im gonna try to make a marioparty like deck thingy and right now im making card enhancements for the board spaces

I want each card (good or bad) to have a Played function or Held in hand Function

red space, if played -6 money, if held x0.5 mult

Actually something i dont know how to do is to make a Random integer on Lua

like picks a number from 1-10 and if its 3, it summons blank card such and such

[shut crater]

is there a way to prevent a ConsumableType from getting its own collection page?

[old bane]

you might be able to put no_collection = true in the definition of the consumable type

[shut crater]

I tried that, no luck though

[narrow iron]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round then this should work for your held in hand effects

[shut crater]

I thought about rewriting the modsCollectionTally function but idk how Lua works

[old bane]

maybe there's a way to do it by looping through the consumables of that type and setting their no_collection to true? idk how that would be accomplished but i know it's at least possible

[shut crater]

there is only one consumable of that type and its no_collection is set to true, it gives me a collection tab with nothing in it

[old bane]

oh i see

[narrow iron]

pseudorandom_element({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, pseudoseed('random number 1-10'..G.SEED))
this will return a random number from 1 to 10, pseudorandom_element takes a list followed by a random number which in this case is generated by pseudoseed which takes a string and returns a random number between 0 and 1

[narrow iron]

return Xmult not xmult

[lucid owl]

your card's variable is card.ability.extra.Xmult, you're returning card.ability.xmult

[narrow iron]

that too

[lucid owl]

pretty sure lowercase is the recommended way

[narrow iron]

ah okay

ive been using uppercase so i wasnt sure if lower worked

[lucid owl]

both work, i've just seen lowercase more often

[wind steppe]

ty that fixed it

[lucid owl]

also, you might want to update your mod header for compatibility (see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata)

[halcyon osprey]

tryna remove the cards, and they just hangout

like they are gone, dissapear and reappear as like ghosts

[shrewd cobalt]

Is it possible to use SMODS.Atlas to replace the texture Jimbo uses?

[narrow iron]

you've gotta use the destroy_card context

[narrow iron]

you've got to use take_ownership to change the atlas and position on that atlas he has

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('j_joker', 
  {
  atlas = "your atlas key", 
  pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
  }, true)```

[shrewd cobalt]

Ahhhh, thank you!

[halcyon osprey]

would i have like a variable = psudoseed orrr what?

[narrow iron]

it would be
variable = pseudorandom_element({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, pseudoseed('random number 1-10'..G.SEED))

the string can be whatever

[halcyon osprey]

ooh oki

[glass scaffold]

how do I make a value in a Joker change constantly?

[daring fern]

Wouldn't you just be able to do pseudorandom('seed', 1, 10)?

[narrow iron]

oh

[lucid owl]

wouldn't this be able to result in things like 3.329048 or whatever?

[lucid owl]

damn, you're right then lol

[halcyon osprey]

guess last part is how tf do i give it my enhancements

[daring fern]

You change the center to be G.P_CENTERS.m_fotsocemu_BlueSpace

[blazing cairn]

my joker doesn't trigger when cards get retriggered how do i fix this

also it doesn't function properly with blueprint

[halcyon osprey]

Youll need a context.blueprint and not context.blueprint for things with blueprint

[daring fern]

Show your code.

[daring fern]

context.blueprint means it only works if a blueprint is copying it.

[halcyon osprey]

yeah

Oops!

holy shit it did the copy thing weird;y

[blazing cairn]

ik about adding context.blueprint and like context.individual but like idk if im doing it correctly

[halcyon osprey]

it says that the set_enhancement is Nil

[daring fern]

You need to remove set_enhancement

[glass scaffold]

Can someone tell me how to make this xMult instead of +Mult?

I stole some code from the Misprint in the lovely dump

[daring fern]

You need to use SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_stone') instead of checking the key.

[blazing cairn]

and then it'll function with retriggers?

[daring fern]

Try changing Xmult_mod to xmult

[unborn bay]

iirc table keys are case sensitive so it's xmult_mod instead of Xmult_mod

[daring fern]

No because when it gets retriggered the variable that was false is now true so it wouldn't work.

[halcyon osprey]

i mean.... what???? its like a touchable ghost card it generated lmao

i can drag iot everywhere

doesnt have a function

[crisp coral]

your card isn't emplaced to a cardarea

[daring fern]

Also why not do (context.blueprint_card or card):juice_up()?

[halcyon osprey]

cause it crashed me LOL

[glass scaffold]

Both of those caused it to give no mult and only show a value.

So, somehow, I got it to work

[glass scaffold]

Here's the ugly as hell code to pull it off.

[blazing cairn]

it now works with retriggers but it doesn't upgrade, do i have to put the card.ability.extra.Xchips = card.ability.extra.Xchips + 0.5 somewhere else?

[silk scaffold]

hey i know its late but

set_ability = function(self, card, initial)
    if card.config.key == "old_joker" then
      card:set_eternal(true)
    end
    return
 end,```
does this not like make a joker eternal when found in shop and packs

[shut crater]

can someone explain the parameters for Consumable.load?
load(self, card, card_table, other_card

I'm trying to access a value from extra

[blazing cairn]

it works now but its just that blueprint thats like not functioning, how do i use the context.blueprint properly

[daring fern]

It's card.config.center.key

[silk scaffold]

oh lol

[daring fern]

Also you need to put j_modprefix_ infront.

[silk scaffold]

wdym j_modprefix_ where?

or where in front

its rlly hard to find all the documentation i cant lie...

[daring fern]

You need to put j_ and your mod prefix _ infront of the key.

[silk scaffold]

or my vsc isnt really showing me all the options that i can do

ohh

[silk scaffold]

j_Nevernamed_"old_joker"
like this?

[daring fern]

You need to put it in the string.

[glass scaffold]

This code worked in earlier versions of smods, but now throws attempt to index field 'other_card'.

Anyone know a fix?

[halcyon osprey]

okay im struggling, How can i just make the card destroy itself if its played or held without it becoming a ghost

[silk scaffold]

oh, lol yeah ty

I appreciate it, I hope to one day return back here and be able to give help like yall

[daring fern]

You need to move the return {remove = true} outside of the events

And also why do you have those events?

[tall wharf]

ah yeah

[hexed stump]

Are the names of the suit changing tarot anywhere in code? I’m trying to find them for a joker I’m making but they’re not defined in card.lua, only the suit change

[tall wharf]

why do you have nested event anyway

@halcyon osprey

[halcyon osprey]

uhh cause its what my jokers used and such, from the banana dissapearing stuff from somewhere else

[tall wharf]

huh

that doesn't sound right to me

[halcyon osprey]

probably cause all of the effect stuffs and i just removed all of that as Juice Up always crashes me

[halcyon osprey]

idk how to remove cards otherwise

[daring fern]

What does your joker/consumable/enhancement/seal do?

[halcyon osprey]

Oh this is for the enhanced cards, which i want both a Played effect and Held in Hand effect. The Joker i made for it is to just generate them

[daring fern]

So if a card of this enhancement is in hand or play destroy it?

[halcyon osprey]

i want it so that the cards get destroyed once your selected effect takes place, so you can never have more than 1 when the joker generares tgem

(wanting to make a deck based around this)

[daring fern]

Well it would start with something like this ```lua
if context.destroy_card then
return {
remove = true
}
end

[halcyon osprey]

but how do i trigger that context?

[daring fern]

context.destroy_card is like context.after but for destroying cards.

[halcyon osprey]

Ooh

Okay well my main issue now is discarding

as i would also like the cards to get destroyed whenever anything gets discarded

[daring fern]

A card with the enhancement or any card?

[halcyon osprey]

the enhancement

(because i want discards to act as rerolls kinda for this (im making a mario party type board thing)

[daring fern]

Try something like this ```lua
if context.discard and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'yourenhancement') then
return {
remove = true,
}
end

[last sentinel]

Is it possible to have a custom deck prevent certain boss blinds from occurring? (the same way certain challenges do)

[normal crest]

Probably using the G.GAME.banned_keys table

Never used it myself tho

[last sentinel]

that would make sense

[halcyon osprey]

its destroying all discarded cards

ill try pre_discard

didnt work either

[daring fern]

Try the updated code.

[halcyon osprey]

Okay its destroying them on discard, but the last thing is i want them destroyed when other cards are also discarded

Also essentially the only thing i want the deck to have is Starts you with an Eternal Board Card (so you always get the Enhanced cards)

well i managed to do something lmao

[runic pecan]

Which joker/voucher in which mod stops anymore jokers from showing up in shop?

[hexed stump]

Okay so, you can’t grab the key of one of the suit changing consumables off of something like consumeable.key or ability.key, but it’s clearly there when you print off the table of the whole thing

Is there something simple I’m missing to just grabbing it? Would the location of it in the table change, in theory? So if I were to reference that index of the table I could grab it?

That seems a bit too good to be true

[daring fern]

card.config.center.key is where keys are located.

[hexed stump]

Holy fuck thanks

I’ve been grappling with this problem and changing the scope of my joker all day

[fickle stag]

what is that Font

[glass scaffold]

wouldn't you like to know weather boy

[fickle stag]

indeed

[glass scaffold]

it's m6x11.

[fickle stag]

thanks <3

[glass scaffold]

Same one used in Balatro

You'll need WinRAR or 7Zip to grab it from the game's .EXE.

(it should be in the resource folder.)

[daring fern]

https://managore.itch.io/m6x11

[glass scaffold]

ayyy even better.

[daring fern]

Is there a way to add perma Emult?

[long acorn]

it finally works (i gave up and just let it take suits)

[zealous glen]

What’s your issue

[long acorn]

no need i gave up on that

[zealous glen]

If you can generate a random suit then you can generate a random rank

[modest iris]

hello guys, does anybody know how can i get the first card scored, not played in press_play, i need it for a boss blind. i can't use context to acces the hand played

press_play = function(self)

                delay = 0.5,
                --de pus sunet
                func = function()
                    local destroyed_card = nil
                    play_sound('tarot1')
                    destroyed_card:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        trigger = 'after',
                        delay = 0.5,
                        func = function()
                            G.deck:remove_card(destroyed_card)
                            destroyed_card:start_dissolve(nil, 1)
                        return true
                        end
                    }))
                return true
                end    
            }))
        end
    end

}

[maiden phoenix]

Not 100% sure of the func name but look up 'G.FUNCS.evaluate_play'

[modest iris]

imma try this, thank you

[long acorn]

im trying to adapt castle's code to generate ranks rather than suits

[tepid rock]

Hey guys, I'm trying to follow the guide in the starter mod message and having some issues. Code looks fine but lovely isnt detecting it and therefore it isnt showing up in the game. I have assets of the right size in 1x and 2x and i can post my script if needed but it feels like i am missing something more than not having something in my script

[hushed field]

as in your mod isn't showing as existing when you're in game?

[tepid rock]

correct

[modest iris]

do you have the smods.json file in your mod folder?

when i first started i forgot to add it and had the same issue

[tepid rock]

i do not, i have a main.lua only. I do have smods downloaded

[hushed field]

Ah, which guide are you following?

[modest iris]

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

[hushed field]

you definitely want a json file

[tepid rock]

the outdated youtube vid ^^'

artmuncher one

[modest iris]

look into the mod metadata and follow the steps, it should work

[tepid rock]

is writing a json file the same as the lua one?

i also have visual studios on my computer and that opens whenever i open a json

[hushed field]

nope, a json file is a separate file format. But most code IDEs are set up to open both lua and json files

[tepid rock]

thank you

[long acorn]

how the fuck is it a nil value the lua file for it is right there is this game fucking blind or something

[hushed field]

have you loaded the file in on your main at all?

[hushed field]

let us know if you run into more problems! The set up can definitely be a bit iffy if it's your first time!

[long acorn]

yes its literally just this one joker that's not cooperating

[manic rune]

how does the voucher that reduces costs work?

[hushed field]

can you show the whole code for this? I have no cue what you're trying to do here, but all I know is that I've never seen someone use filenames to refer to information on their jokers

[manic rune]

this currently doesnt account the for discount

[tepid rock]

Thank you, used to coding in unity so getting used to this

[long acorn]

oh i meant the joker id (which is the same as the filename)

[tepid rock]

side question, can you use visual studios for typing up the lua and json file?

[hushed field]

it's a global that gets set and checked by the set_cost var

[hushed field]

vsc has a lua and json extension, yes!

[hushed field]

joker ids aren't globals

[tepid rock]

brilliant, thank you

[long acorn]

huh

so the error is probably because i have to use a hook

how do i load in the joker ids in main then

[hushed field]

no, you don't have to use a hook. The solution'll depend on what it actually is that you're trynna do, haha

what is the effect you're going for, and what does the actual code look like?

[long acorn]

what im trying to do is basically castle but it reads ranks like rebate

so like every [rank] gives it +3 mult

and it changes every round

[hushed field]

you'd never need to access the joker by id, in that case

[long acorn]

ok so i moved the hook to the joker file itself but it still reads it as nil

[hushed field]

you can set the global variable by hand the first time. The information on which suit or rank a card like castle is checking for shouldn't be stored on the joker itself

[hushed field]

the file the hook is in doesn't matter to its function

[long acorn]

yeah

[hushed field]

also, even in that file, there's no global named jokermostwanted

[long acorn]

im just confused at what im doing wrong since it worked when it was checking suits instead

since i copied it from the example mod castle

[hushed field]

I'd check some other mods to see how they've set this up, because this isn't a great way to go about it

[hushed field]

I'd check the code for that example again

[long acorn]

i did and it works

my problem was it read suits

i need it to read ranks

[hushed field]

i know

your implementation is actually not similar to the castle example mod

you're using globals because I think you're missing that the example is first selecting its targets by creating locals. It never uses the joker's key to access anything, for example

function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
    -- The suit changes every round, so we use reset_game_globals to choose a suit.
    G.GAME.current_round.castle2_card = { suit = 'Spades' }
    local valid_castle_cards = {}
    for _, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if not SMODS.has_no_suit(v) then -- Abstracted enhancement check for jokers being able to give cards additional enhancements
            valid_castle_cards[#valid_castle_cards + 1] = v
        end
    end
    if valid_castle_cards[1] then
        local castle_card = pseudorandom_element(valid_castle_cards, pseudoseed('2cas' .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante))
        G.GAME.current_round.castle2_card.suit = castle_card.base.suit
    end
end```

As you can see here, the castle_card variable, which is the same usecase as your jokermostwanted variable, isn't a joker id or anything. It's defined locally in the line above it

You're checking if you have valid target cards, but not ever doing anything with that array. You even set the target_card as a local. All you'd need to do is replace the use of jokermostwanted.base.value and jokermostwanted.base.id for target_card.base.value and target_card.base.id

[long acorn]

holy shit it works now

so i did read the example code wrong lmao

thanks a lot

[zealous glen]

Check the Castle example in the example mods

Also check how Rebate works in vanilla

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokémon-slowpoke-glitter-sparkling-gif-9077674878617351176

[long acorn]

trur

[tepid rock]

Sorry to interrupt, I'm seeing in the guide that there is auto complete/suggestions on what the person is typing (the artmuncher guide still). Should I be seeing that?

[zealous glen]

What program are you using

[tepid rock]

visual studios

used zerobrane for a bit and that did not either

[zealous glen]

Normally these programs give autocomplete suggestions automatically

[tepid rock]

It is giving them when i type up something and type it up again later (eg every time I write "Jo" it suggests "Joker" and "joker2") but it doesnt show up if i havent used it already

[hushed field]

that's normal

if it's not recommending the use of standard lua code, like setting up if ... then statements, though, you'll wanna install the lua extension for vsc

[tepid rock]

gotcha, so stuff specific to balatro probably wont show up but lua stuff will?

[hushed field]

yup!

[hushed field]

a good thing to remember is that you basically never want to access a joker's information by using the joker's key, unless you specifically know what you're doing. Most functions shouldn't care for it. The key's use is to see if a joker is owned or to create it, but it shouldn't be used to get into its ability or try and set variables

[long acorn]

gotcha thanks

finally

[hushed field]

Fixed my list of bugs for Kino, time to make some more config UI 🥲

And more messing around with configs to see what it likes, and what it doesn't

[last sentinel]

Is there a way to access the last Tarot card played? (not necessarily tarot/planet)

[coral flume]

Not sure but there must be because the fool checks for it

G.GAME.last_tarot_planet,

Is the code in the fool

[last sentinel]

yeah but thats one gets overwritten if a planet is played

at least i think

trying to find a last tarot only but might just have to make it

[coral flume]

I think you'll have to make it

[coral flume]

Does anyone know if you can check, how many times a non specified card is played per hand
for example a flush house have 3 "10 of hearts" and 2 "king of hearts", or a pair being 2 "4 of spades" rather than just 2 "4's"?

[wintry solar]

You can just work it out manually

[coral flume]

Yeah makes sense

[next timber]

is it possible to add a friends of jimbo pack that reskins the entire suit, not just face cards?

[coral flume]

I think paperback does that

[daring fern]

SMODS.Deckskin has a ranks input.

[next timber]

oh cool thx

[zealous glen]

You don’t need that specific input

I think any one but collab would work

[stark geode]

caould you look at somthing for me rq

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "Perkeo_Template",
    rarity = 1,

this is supposed to scale every time a negative consumeable is added, but ot doesnt

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat (part 1 in case I pass out again)

[stark geode]

looks like card_added isnt triggering

idk why

it was working before

i didnt change anything

[manic rune]

good morning didly

[modern kindle]

You got dangerously close again

But hi bepis!!

[manic rune]

hi :3

[zealous glen]

Does it send the test debug message?

[modern kindle]

I took a nyquil pill last night and some melatonin

I was sleep sleepin

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly 👋

[stark geode]

no

[modern kindle]

Hi vic :D

[zealous glen]

Maybe ask on the SMODS server. Could be a bug

I can’t test it right now or try to diagnose the issue

[modern kindle]

You mean you can't spend every waking second working on this stuff? Ugh, and to think we spent our time talking to you...

[hushed field]

I think I may have spent as much time on Kino as I spent on my actual job the last month, haha

[modern kindle]

Busy ice man

Also hi ice :)

[stark geode]

i downgraded my smods and it worked

[modern kindle]

I won't lie i didn't do a lick of work yesterday I don't think

I was lazy

Aside of in the early morning anyway but early morning work doesn't count

[reef belfry]

just so i dont spend the next hour pissing myself tryna figure out whats wrong

this DOES check if the card played is a poly stone right

[wintry solar]

No

[reef belfry]

💔

[wintry solar]

How could the center be two different things?

[reef belfry]

iontkno

[manic rune]

shouldnt you use SMODS.has_enhancement() instead?

[reef belfry]

oh my god

i forgot smods has that as a thing

[manic rune]

i mean, you need to use that in combination of something to check for the card's edition

v.edition and v.edition.key == "e_foil", probably (change e_foil to e_polychrome in your case, i grabbed that from my code :p)
-# v.edition check is important

[daring fern]

Wouldn't checking for foil just be v.edition and v.edition.foil?

[primal robin]

Imagine v.edition?.key in lua

[manic rune]

dunno, i dont think theres any difference and both should work fine

since mine does :p

[manic rune]

we can only wish

[zealous glen]

you could do v['edition?'].key

[manic rune]

what

you can?

[primal robin]

No, it's not how it works

[manic rune]

💔

[zealous glen]

What do you mean?

A key can be any strong

string*

[manic rune]

strong

💪

sleepy, when are you gonna be awake

[primal robin]

context?.other_card?.edition?.key is a shorthand for context.other_card and context.other_card.edition and context.other_card.edition.key

[modern kindle]

Is anyone ever truly awake

[zealous glen]

But that doesn’t work in Lua, right?

[primal robin]

Of course, it would be too easy

[zealous glen]

Why are you saying that my syntactically correct code isn’t how it works then

[primal robin]

Because it's correct in javascript

[stark geode]

turns out my smods was broken

[primal robin]

I'm not say that is correct on lua

But I wish it was

[stark geode]

i delteted the entire folderand put it back

now it works

[zealous glen]

Up-to-date version?

[stark geode]

yeah

[primal robin]

Okay time to test blindkit

If it works I can finally do some more blinds

Because drawing them pissing me off

[stark geode]

turns out you shoul del your whole smods folder and not just blindly trust windows to rplace everthing corecctly

[faint yacht]

hecc. 💀

[zealous glen]

?

[manic rune]

im guessing that "2" card only triggers the drawing stuff when its drawn, not when its in hand :p
so when the game loads back, nothing is saved but that card is already in hand (past the drawn phase, so it wont trigger whatever effect that is)

[zealous glen]

[manic rune]

you could force the game to save when the card is drawn, dunno

[faint yacht]

See #💻・modding-dev message for details.
save_run() is also called... in the enhancement calculate function.
