opinions

[rugged pier]

very clean, also i didnt respond earlier but the dimensions are 71x95 for these sprites

[thin anchor]

i see

thanks!

[balmy wadi]

my mods decided to stop working all of a sudden does anyone know how to fix this

[rugged pier]

send crash log, cant really do much without it

[balmy wadi]

well im gonna try reinstalling

still didnt work

[rugged pier]

looks like a talisman thing? not too sure

[crisp elbow]

Talisman issue it looks like

yeah

what mods do you have

[rugged pier]

^

[balmy wadi]

i had jens almanac on

that probably did it

[rugged pier]

do you have talisman?

[balmy wadi]

but i turned off the mods

yes

[rugged pier]

i think talisman might be a dependency for jens almanac

try keeping both on

[balmy wadi]

yeah i have both the mods on

like i have the mods in my folder but when i go on the game

[rugged pier]

no you have to remove the .lovelyignore file from talisman

[rugged pier]

huh where is your mods option

do you have steammoded?

[balmy wadi]

exactly

yes

[rugged pier]

eh

[balmy wadi]

and mods dont work

[rugged pier]

is the steammoded folder in your mods folder?

show your mods folder

[balmy wadi]

wait i ahve 2 lovleys

still didnt work

[rugged pier]

lovely isnt supposed to be in this folder

[balmy wadi]

what

its been there the whole time

[rugged pier]

nvm

im tripping

i was thinking of the dll file

[rugged pier]

can you rename smods folder to just "smods"

and do you have a .lovelyignore inside that folder

[balmy wadi]

i think my game crashed out after i was messing around with the debug menu and jens almanac

[rugged pier]

well you reinstalled the mod as well didnt you

[balmy wadi]

huh?

[rugged pier]

didnt you say you were going to reinstall the mod

[balmy wadi]

i said i reinstalled the game

[rugged pier]

oh what

maybe theres a new appdata directory?

and your mods are in the old one

[balmy wadi]

i think the game updated

well

aswell*

[crystal perch]

did you check if the version.dll was removed from your game files

[rugged pier]

^

[balmy wadi]

no

[crystal perch]

check

[balmy wadi]

and how do i do that

im very dumb

[crystal perch]

manage local files

[balmy wadi]

alr

[rugged pier]

here

[balmy wadi]

just this?

i thought it was smth else

[crystal perch]

yeah there's no version.dll

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

follow the guide

you may have to disable windows defender and/or your browser's anti-virus protection when downloading

if it doesn't work try reverting back to lovely 0.7.0 instead of 0.7.1

[red flower]

wasnt 0.7.0 very broken

[balmy wadi]

it wont download

[crystal perch]

^

[balmy wadi]

i did

i think its smth to do with google

[crystal perch]

use a different browser

[errant karma]

so i've started making a wii themed balatro mod, and all i've done is the music and the font (trance)
where do i go from here

[crystal perch]

that would be a better ask in #⚙・modding-general

[balmy wadi]

yeah its my anti virus

[errant karma]

good point

[crystal perch]

disable that

[balmy wadi]

disabled for 10mins

the fuck is this

this is wild

i still cant

and i went on microsoft edge

[red flower]

edge is basically the same as chrome

try firefox or smth

[crystal perch]

^

[balmy wadi]

i have to download it lol

[glass scaffold]

So you know how the Soul card has the shard that floats above? How do I implement that with a Joker?

[balmy wadi]

Finally

[crystal perch]

i got code for this 1 sec

[rugged pier]

isnt this how legendaries have their sprite set up

[crystal perch]

all you do is add a soul_pos = {x = #, y = #} to your joker

the pos is for your atlas ofc

[glass scaffold]

cool. uhh, how do I define a thing to be the soul?

[rugged pier]

so this adds a floating sprite to the middle of your joker, position derived from the same atlas as your joker "background"

[crystal perch]

it's just a section of the atlas

lemme show

[balmy wadi]

Im so lost in this

[glass scaffold]

So what if... my soul texture... was a seperate PNG

[lavish lake]

you know i think the smods wiki should be updated more or else i will never know what the fuck does set_ability() do

[crystal perch]

put it on the atlas

[crystal perch]

ask john smods lol

[glass scaffold]

so just do soul_key and soul_path for it?

[crystal perch]

what

no just put it on the same atlas as the card

[glass scaffold]

but how does the thing know what the soul texture is?

[red flower]

what do you need to know

[crystal perch]

so these are both on the atlas 'Jokers'
the joker's pos on the atlas is x=3, y=0
the soul's pos on the atlas is x=3, y=1

[crystal perch]

as you can tell from the code up here

[lavish lake]

how set_ability() works

[glass scaffold]

I got that part in there.

Now how do I set it in the SMODS.Atlas?

[crystal perch]

as you would any atlas

[balmy wadi]

im going to pull my hair out, i downloaded it and it had nothing in it

[crystal perch]

your antivirus removed it

[balmy wadi]

i turned it off

[crystal perch]

do you use another antivirus in addition to defender?

[red flower]

it sets the ability of a card

so it basically either makes a new card or "transforms" a card from one to another replacing all the card.ability values

[balmy wadi]

i use norton

[crystal perch]

check the norton log

[balmy wadi]

which is the one i turned off

[crystal perch]

do you have both defender and norton disabled

[red flower]

it also does a couple other stuff like adding the card to used_jokers if it's not a menu

[lavish lake]

yeah but what are the parameters exactly

[red flower]

aren't they in the code

[balmy wadi]

No clue how to turn off defender

[crystal perch]

wrong paste

[crystal perch]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/#example-steps-for-windows-defender

[glass scaffold]

so wait, how did you do it for yours?

[crystal perch]

exactly like that

[manic rune]

good evening everyone

[crystal perch]

i have a png called "jokers.png" in the file path ChakraCollection/assets/1x/, then i added an atlas with the key "Jokers" to point to that file
then in my joker code itself, i set it to use the atlas with the key "Jokers", set the position of the joker's texture on that atlas with the code pos = {x = 3, y = 0}, and set the position of the joker's "soul" on that atlas with the code soul_pos = {x = 3, y = 1}

sent screenshots again for reference

[red flower]

goodevbepis

[manic rune]

have u checked out art i made for relic pack :3

[lavish lake]

That escalated quickly

[red flower]

i saw when u were figuring out the font

[manic rune]

"ruining my life"

[manic rune]

yeah, i figured it out :3

[lavish lake]

"ruining my life"

[red flower]

ohhh that looks really cool

[manic rune]

thankss

[glass scaffold]

So with just this, I drop in the soul texture, and it works without a hitch?

[manic rune]

thats a lot of pixel

[crystal perch]

idk if you can have the soul texture be on a different atlas than the joker texture

[balmy wadi]

ok im crashing out ive looked for like 10mins verywhere and looked up stuff and i still cant find the manage settings

[crystal perch]

let me consult the wiki

[glass scaffold]

Well, 75 x 91 looked ugly in the last batch of mods, so....

[crystal perch]

god forbid we have a reasonable pixel density

[manic rune]

i honestly don't think its worth the effort

its faster to just have the soul and sprite in one same png

[crystal perch]

yeah

just do that

if you really want such a high res soul then just also include the joker backing on the same atlas upscaled

[balmy wadi]

where tf is manage settings here

[crystal perch]

if you're using norton it'd be in norton

[balmy wadi]

IT ONLY TOOK 45 MINS

https://tenor.com/view/knight-gif-13429561155124850511

[errant karma]

i think im an idiot, can someone help me replace the title texture and the location of the card on the main menu

[balmy wadi]

you have to be kidding me

i had a run with a natural canio cuz i was tryna do naninf on gold stake and wanted to be able to drag my mouse and now i cant do that run anymore cuz i updated steam modded

[ionic verge]

how would i set a created card's sticker? specifically i want it to have an eternal sticker

i presume something like card:set_sticker?

[glass scaffold]

Well... that's not exactly right.

[sturdy monolith]

sticker as in eternal or perishable? card.ability.eternal = true (change eternal to whatever sticker you want before add_to_deck)

[ionic verge]

(eternal, and thank you!)

[glass scaffold]

help pls

[old bane]

how does SMODS.take_ownership work

[old bane]

what are you trying to do

[glass scaffold]

Trying to get the backing to be coherent instead of cut off.

[sturdy monolith]

are you sure you want that many pixels...?

[glass scaffold]

I cannot stand the pixelated VRoid models, so I'm certain.

I finally got it fully working.

Now for the worst part:

Checking for 4 specific Jokers, and if they exist, destroy all of them and create a specific one.

So before I bang my head against a wall for a lot longer, anyone know how THAT'S implemented?

[balmy wadi]

Dude it did it again

[glass scaffold]

Your AV is deleting the version.DLL because it thinks it's malicious.

[balmy wadi]

How do i make it not do that

[faint yacht]

Exclusions.

[balmy wadi]

How do i do that

[sturdy monolith]

add it to the av exclusions. i'd recommend adding the entire balatro path to exclusions

[glass scaffold]

Look at tutorials on how to add exclusions to Windows Defender (and maybe your other AVs)

[sturdy monolith]

depends on your AV

[balmy wadi]

Norton 360

[scarlet spire]

the color of my custom pack's UI outline is defaulting to red, how do I change this color? I can't find anything on this

[balmy wadi]

wait it worked

nvm

Giess not i didnt paste it

Its been an hour and im still clueless

[errant karma]

making a mod, all i'm tryna do is either get help with replacing textures or get someone to do programming for the mod, so how do i replace the main menu sprite?

this, how do i replace this

[tepid crow]

use an atlas like this

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = "balatro",
    path = "balatro.png",
    px=333,
    py=216,
    prefix_config = {key = false}
}

[errant karma]

thanks lol

anyway now time to ask/find out how to change the position of the card on the menu

[shrewd cobalt]

How can I check if a new ante has been started? (aka leaving the shop after completing the boss blind)

[sturdy monolith]

pretty sure you can do if G.GAME and G.GAME.last_blind.boss and context.end_shop

[drowsy dome]

bal la 🔥

[shrewd cobalt]

Ah, thank you!

[errant karma]

may i ask how to move the card

[unborn bay]

for now it basically just calculates the invisible card area which is not what i was looking for but a good compromise

[modern kindle]

The win button

[tired skiff]

what dis mean

[rugged pier]

do you guys know of any mods that add Boss Blinds? looking for code examples to see how they are structured

[old bane]

cryptid does

my mod does as well

[spark pumice]

Update: It still doesn't work, but now it doesn't crash. Currently it just spams "No Available Joker" as soon as a Boss Blind is Active

[old bane]

you can also look at the documentation for SMODS.Blind

[rugged pier]

holy shit

[rugged pier]

whats your mod?

[spark pumice]

K 👍

[quartz ravine]

That looks fantastic

[rugged pier]

yup i have it open, i want to have a look at some example code to get myself started

[quartz ravine]

Something that feels sooooo nice about seeing your custom boosters appear in the store

[old bane]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1341298886438027304

the source code is in there, and my blinds are organized into a file called PMBlinds

[modern kindle]

Bepis is, as the kids say
Absolutely fantastic at what he does

[rugged pier]

thank you :)

[tepid crow]

You're not checking for the "starting blind" context, so it's activating on every context

[quartz ravine]

LMAO!!! This is hilarious

[spark pumice]

Ohhh I see

[quartz ravine]

YOu guys are really cooking tonight

[spark pumice]

How do I do that?

[errant karma]

i still need to know how to move the ace card

[spark pumice]

Oh my god that's so peak

[quartz ravine]

Maybe check out how cryptid adds a second card?

[errant karma]

that is a good idea give me a momento

[tepid crow]

check out https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions for the context issue
reading through the code, I also don't think :get_edition does what you think it does; check the vanilla source code for that one

[old bane]

it's usually gonna be a lovely patch (for the ace card)

[spark pumice]

Oh ok

Ty!

[quartz ravine]

K there is a function in game.lua, called :splash_screen() you'd want to shim that using a lovely file

[errant karma]

so just.. yoink it from game.lua and put it in the mod?

[spark pumice]

update it works now 👍 But I should probably do something about how it gives eternal to cards that aren't supposed to-

[quartz ravine]

No, write something like this

# spawn WAYYY more cards
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = '''            
for i = 1, 200 do
'''
position = "at"
payload = '''
  print("test")
for i = 1, 450 do 
m
'''
match_indent = false

[errant karma]

just a disclaimer but i am in no way a coder so if i seem dense you know why

[quartz ravine]

That needs to go in a file called lovely.toml. which needs to be in your mod folder.

Use this as a proof of concept to show modifying that area of code. This is pretty funny because it makes the intro sound play SUPER slowly to account for the 450 cards spawning, lol

[rugged pier]

really cool mod btw, will be following it

love the bosses you implemented

[coral flume]

When picking a pseudo random element, is there anyway to make an exception, random card but not X card

[crisp coral]

remove the card from the given table

[wary skiff]

Can I implement purple stake's scaling as a custom challenge rule?

[coral flume]

any idea of how i'd code that. new to this sorry

[glad osprey]

mod that plays the invincible title card sting whenever you buy an invis joker

[reef belfry]

If hes invincible then why can i see him

[errant karma]

IT WOOOORKS, IT WOOOOOOOORKS!!!!

[stark geode]

This is so dumb I love it

[errant karma]

im going to try work on more dumb textures and stuff lol

[quartz ravine]

I spent all of that time working on this,

eval local card
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 2.04,
                func = (function()
                    local SC_scale = 1.1*(G.debug_splash_size_toggle and 0.8 or 1)
                    card = Card(G.title_top.T.x, G.title_top.T.y, 1.2*G.CARD_W*SC_scale, 1.2*G.CARD_H*SC_scale, nil, G.P_CENTERS.j_joker)
                    card.no_ui = 1
                    card.states.visible = false
                    if nil ~= replace_card then 
                        replace_card.parent = nil
                        replace_card:start_dissolve({G.C.BLACK, G.C.ORANGE, G.C.RED, G.C.GOLD})
                    end
                G.title_top:emplace(card)
                    return true
            end)}))

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 1.04,
                func = (function()
                    card:start_materialize()
                    G.title_top:emplace(card)
                    return true
            end)}))

If you have debug plus and run this, it will add additional jokers to that start screen

[stark geode]

I have a different one

It works with souled cards

[errant karma]

im so sorry lol

[quartz ravine]

I am not sure how cryptid made them look nice like that. It looks pretty whack if you add too many cards!

[tepid rock]

Quesiton: how does midas mask work? I'm trying to make a joker with a similar idea (glass instead of gold) but i'm stumped. I have based the detection of the king being played using the example walkie talkie in the smod example joker code but i can not figure out how midas mask works

i can send what i have if needed

[quartz ravine]

Seems to work for me!

[daring fern]

It recenters it I think

[stark geode]

Huh

Cool

[stark geode]

You can look at the source code for the game

Extract it out if the .exe with 7z

[tepid rock]

I have, can not figure out how its changing the cards

[stark geode]

Should be in cards.lua

Search 'midas_mask' or smth

[glass scaffold]

this is gonna be the peak mod of 2025

[stark geode]

The code will be in this big if statement

Undertale style

[glass scaffold]

poyo

[errant karma]

i would absolutely not say that, and if it does i blame it on nostalgia doing the work for me LOL

[tepid rock]

I am looking at it, just do not know which parts are relevant to changing the cards and which are relevant to detecting it

[quartz ravine]

I actually used listenToYoutube to make an mp3 of that video to extract out the Poyo sound efect

[tepid rock]

if that makes sense

[glass scaffold]

...why not use YT-DLP?

[errant karma]

i also came up with a custom joker ability even thought im tryna keep it to a texture mod

ahem

Dolphin - Copies a random ability of a joker sold this run.

coz dolphin emulator

[glass scaffold]

Nice

[quartz ravine]

TBH I did use that but I thought folks wouldn't know about it

[glass scaffold]

I use it on Linux and Windows

[quartz ravine]

yt-dlp is an amazing tool, I am happy it is not so well known

I wrote a Family YouTube Replacement that uses yt-dlp. It's an aspnet core app running bootstrap (because I like it !) and I added auth and a shopping cart system.

Kids get credits and they can put in 'orders' for videos. I have a black list and some some auto approve conditions. I thought about open-sourcing my whole tool chain but I worry about it getting noticed and then I'd have to redo things

[tardy reef]

Hey, I'm trying to make a joker that retriggers cards that are enhanced, what's the best way to know when a card is enhanced at all?

Like, not looking for a specific enhancement

[rugged pier]

context.other_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_glass, nil, true)

[daring fern]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements())

[rugged pier]

if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then

[rugged pier]

or this

[tepid rock]

thank you, i will give this a try🫡

[rugged pier]

you have to wrap this with an if context.individual i think(?)

[tardy reef]

So could I do something like next(SMODS.get_enhancements()) == true?

[rugged pier]

no

[tepid rock]

        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_glass
    end
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardare == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
                context.other_card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_glass, nil, true)```

[rugged pier]

just next(SMODS>get_enhancements())

[tepid rock]

this is what i have so far

[errant karma]

man i wonder how the ui would look if the buttons were round and didnt have pixellated corners

[rugged pier]

this should work

[tardy reef]

This is the relevant part where I'm trying to check if the card is enhanced or not before it's told to retrigger

How do I plug in the next(SMODS>get_enhancements()) there?

[rugged pier]

and next(SMODS.get_enhancements()) then

[rugged pier]

sorry its a period not a ">", i made a typo

[tardy reef]

Gotcha, thanks!

[rugged pier]

nw

[quartz ravine]

I am kind of struggling to make this feel fun to play. My idea was to make this like a stone card that starts low and 'grows' when held, like grass grows in your yard

[gilded narwhal]

heheheehe

[quartz ravine]

I made a set of cards that either also grow when grass cards are scored or held, but to me this doesn't feel that fun

[rugged pier]

what increases as its held in hand?

[errant karma]

i swear i really wanna make a trance colour scheme for the wii but 1. the website keeps lagging really bad for me and 2. im tired so goodbye chat

[rugged pier]

what are you trying to use as abilities?

easiest way to make things fun -> make number go up

[quartz ravine]

A new enhanced card I made. It functions but isnt' that fun. Maybe it grows too slowly. Or maybe just +chips isn't that fun

When it gets a red seal and a special edition then it's very fun

[rugged pier]

so the +2 is chips?

[tepid rock]

This isnt working btw. I can get the joker in the game and it detects the glass aspect (as in it shows the info packet) but it does not change the kings (or any card) into glass

[quartz ravine]

yes, it starts at +0 chips and gets more and more chips. Then when you play it, those chips it accrued score. So it's like a stone card that gets better the more often it hangs out in your hand

[rugged pier]

gotcha, as it is currently implemented it feels as though id be extremely better off if i just took a stone joker

so what i would do is

start at ~25/30

then increase it by 15-20 everytime its held in hand

[quartz ravine]

ohh, very good idea!

[tepid rock]

I can send the whole script (like including the description and name) if necessary

[tardy reef]

Got this error when testing, further on it said the error came from this line in my code

I assume I'm not using get_enhacements correctly and that's where it fails?

[rugged pier]

you can fix the numbers when you playtest so its not broken as shit

or you can cap it

[unborn bay]

How do i change a joker's graphic but only for that specific joker instance and not the center of that joker

im assuming it has something to do with the draw function but there is very little documentation on how to actually use it

[nocturne spire]

Hi how can add new files .lua to replace some lines of code when selecting a language without effect the others

As I’m having some weird issues regarding save data

I will share some info later on

As I have quiz in a few moments

[rugged pier]

wdym

[unborn bay]

nvm figured it out

[paper zealot]

It would be great if you could share some info about how you solved it, to help the next person who searches for this same problem

[shrewd cobalt]

trying to make a joker that turns only the pair(s) in a hand into lucky cards, I keep getting Attempt to call method 'set_ability' (a nil value), I know I'm probably doing something wrong with the ipairs thing but not sure how to fix it

[rapid stag]

does anyone have any insight as to how i can fix additional tooltips that i try to add to wild card just merging into the normal wildcard tooltip?

all i'm doing is adding { key = [my tooltip key], set = 'Other' } to info_queue as part of functionality i've patched into generate_card_ui()

[last sentinel]

use 'm_lucky' not G.P_centers.m_lucky

pretty sure set_ability takes the string not the full key table

[rugged pier]

that is correct

[rapid stag]

this only applies to the first thing i try to add. if i try to add a second thing, it adds as expected

[rugged pier]

is there a way to adjust joker effects as they trigger?

[tepid rock]

bumping cus i am going insane trying to fix it lmao

[rugged pier]

can you show the whole function?

like the calculate part

[tardy reef]

I keep getting an error saying I'm trying to index a local nil value, and I have no clue what the reason for it is

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_glass
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardare == G.play then
            if context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
                context.other_card:set_ability(m_glass, nil, true)
                return true
            end
        end
    end

[tardy reef]

The second if is the problem part

[tepid rock]

this is the whole thing under "cost"

unless you need more

[daring fern]

It is context.other_card

[rugged pier]

theres a typo with cardarea

[tepid rock]

🤦‍♀️ thank you

[rugged pier]

np

[rugged pier]

bump

[daring fern]

What are you meaning?

[rugged pier]

for example if a joker is supposed to give x3 mult, how do i make it give x1.5 mult

[daring fern]

A different joker?

[rugged pier]

nah, a boss blind that appplies a modifier on all jokers

that reduces their effectiveness

[tardy reef]

That did it, thanks a lot!

[daring fern]

That would probably take an extreme amount of work.

[unborn bay]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = x_coord, y = y_coord})

rip

[unborn bay]

actually i think its children.center not children.front idk

[rugged pier]

hypothetically, how would one go about it..

[daring fern]

You would probably have to patch/take ownership of every joker checking if the blind is that boss blind and making it do something less effective.

[rugged pier]

y i k e s

and there would be no way to dynamically go through owned jokers?

and get ability

[daring fern]

Not that I know of.

why in the name of good god

is it a pendulum

[tepid rock]

new deck effect

[manic rune]

The Pendulum
Swings your screen in
a pendulum arc
(adapted code from notmario)

[rugged pier]

crazy

i feel like i would not be able to function

[manic rune]

its a boss blind anyways :p

[rugged pier]

okay valid tbh

[manic rune]

i actually wanted to do something like how asriel moves from undertale

but ended up with that

i think it looks pretty cool

[quartz ravine]

Weird! If you have two different To Do lists, they both will reward different hands

[shrewd cobalt]

I tried that out and I'm getting the same error

[manic rune]

its P_CENTERS i think

or P_CENTER, i forgot

[quartz ravine]

I have a joker that will respect the hand that To Do list is working, and wow, it took me a bit to understand just how weird Todo list is

[tepid rock]

side question: which file is it to see the effect of editions (eg negatives)

[manic rune]

you can do ctrl + shift + F

[rugged pier]

picks randomly each time, i believe this should be true for any joker that changes?

[manic rune]

and do a global search on what edition u want to find

:p

-# its convenient for everything too, actually

[tepid rock]

where would i do ctrl shift f?

[quartz ravine]

Castle and Ancient joker both have a synchronized value that changes every round

[rugged pier]

really

interesting

[quartz ravine]

Yes, it's so odd. Meanwhile To Do list does its own thing!

[rugged pier]

actually i think its global variable

that changes it for specific abilities

so if ability.name == something

its true for all of them

whereas for todo its probably not the case

[manic rune]

visual studio code

[rugged pier]

maybe an oversight?

[quartz ravine]

iit's G.Global.Ancient_joker_suit or something like that

[manic rune]

probably because its not a global value

and instead its a value inside the joker itself

:p

[tepid rock]

card.lua or cardarea.lua?

[quartz ravine]

I wrote a lovely shim so that multiple To Do lists would reward the same hand but then undid it

[manic rune]

it searches for every file

[rugged pier]

ctrl shift f does it across the whole workspace

[tepid rock]

gotcha, my bad

[rugged pier]

ctrl f does it inside the file

[manic rune]

☝️

[quartz ravine]

then try Control + Shift + G, find & replace in all files! And it even has regex mode

[rugged pier]

TIL

[manic rune]

im bad at maths so i genuinely cant figure out how to get the effect i want

[quartz ravine]

meanwhile notepad's getting worse with every windows update

[rugged pier]

you could say this about windows as a whole

tbh

[manic rune]

fax

[tepid rock]

its attempting to but isnt working. could it be cus im checking through 7 zip?

[manic rune]

...7 zip?

[tepid rock]

it can only check the currently open file

i am using 7zip to check the balatro source code

[manic rune]

its a visual studio code thing

oh

you need to open the entire balatro folder as a workplace then

[tepid rock]

is that just highlight then right click open on it all?

[manic rune]

nop

turn on your visual studio code

there should be like, an Open Folder button here

[quartz ravine]

just unzip it to a directory, don't browse within 7zip

[manic rune]

orrr just this

[tepid rock]

that wont affect the game will it?

[daring fern]

No.

[quartz ravine]

unzip to some directory and close 7zip, then it will be fine.

Keep in mind this is just so you can see the source and figure thigns out, changes you make to the unzipped source will do nothing

[rugged pier]

no its a refernce of the code for you, the exe still has the code in it

which is independant from the version you have that is unzipped

[tepid rock]

gotcha, it looks good (minus accidentally putting all the files into my desk top)

so much knowledge for a semi-dumb joker idea /j

[unborn bay]

you know you'd come far for a single joker idea if you need a lovely patch to do it

[tepid rock]

I now have two problems. 1 is my previous joker has the chance to break the moment it turns glass (idek if i wanna change that or not cus it was kinda funny) and 2 my new joker (ill add the code here after this) does not remove its effect after being sold

[glass scaffold]

"it's a feature, not a bug"

[tepid rock]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.joker_size}}
    end,

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end

[tepid rock]

FR. I'm sure I could add something that makes the glass not break by reducing the chances to 0 but tbh, i think this works out well and has good synergy with glass joker (which was the idea)

[tepid rock]

also yes, this is just acting as a negative card while not being negative

[daring fern]

You have to use the remove_from_deck function.

[tepid rock]

would it just be "remove_from_deck" underneath it or is it more technical?

wait, instead of "add_to_deck"?

i just looked it up lol

nvm, im an idiot

thank you, it is working, sorry for the spam

If we are struggling to think of a name for a joker idea, would we ask here or in modding chat?

[glass scaffold]

Either one works

[tepid rock]

Aight, i have an idea (idek if its possible yet) that destroys the joker to the right and turns the one on the left negative

I was thinking trauma unit but idk

[daring fern]

Thats possible.

[tepid rock]

Sweet. I will figure that out later then 🫡

[tepid rock]

I'm assuming a mix of looking at ceremonial dagger and perkeo?

[glass scaffold]

Is there a way to have a consumable appear whenever certain Jokers are held?

[tepid rock]

like replenishes after use or after blind? after blind could look at how the blue stamp works

[glass scaffold]

Only summons it once.

[tepid rock]

I dont see why not. Is it a specific one?

[glass scaffold]

I want to have a consumable appear when 4 certain Jokers are held, and when the specific 4 are selected, use the consumable to destroy them and create a new one.

[manic rune]

https://streamable.com/f4605c

[glass scaffold]

It'd be a modded one.

[glass scaffold]

Oh god, motion sickness

[manic rune]

so true

im gonna work on an asriel boss shitpost lmfao

current ideas:

• rainbow color background
• wavy screen during scoring animation

[shell timber]

another window dance mod?

[manic rune]

oh hi notmario

yeah, decided to take a break from my mod and work on a shitpost boss blind instead :p

[coral flume]

Really stumped here, Im trying to make a joker that retriggers cards once for each identical card in scoring hand and am getting lost at having each card find the number of itself within the scoring hand

[manic rune]

good news: i got the rainbow loop working
bad news: events
https://streamable.com/g9nwps

doesnt seem to lag that bad though

i should probably optimize that

[nocturne spire]

My apologies, I just finished my exam

I want to edit some code without replacing the main code, as I want to add the Arabic patch

And it’s rtl not ltr

I have already done that but the issue is that effect all other languages

[rugged pier]

oh im not too sure about languages stuff

maybe someone else can help

[nocturne spire]

No i mean like a toggle function

I or something like that

[daring fern]

This mod adds languages https://github.com/OceanRamen/BUMod

[nocturne spire]

Yeah I know

I already made a beta patch and released it

But again the issue is that it broke all other languages

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that it replace some code from the function folder files

Like if you installed my Arabic patch it will have some issues in the other languages as it’s right to left not left to right

[runic pecan]

Generally speaking, what would cause this push problem and how to avoid them when coding?Oops! The game crashed: game.lua:2765: bad argument #1 to 'push'

[last sentinel]

First time trying to hook, but think i just overwrote cause now consumables dont work, what am i missing to get this to work?

Edit: wait hang on idek why im in Card:use_consumable

[paper zealot]

Could you just made your patch conditional? If language is Arabic, use RTL?

[daring fern]

You need to replace everything from card to self also it is self.ability.set and self.config.center.key

[maiden phoenix]

Isn't there a variable for last tarot used by the "Fool" consumable?

[last sentinel]

Only last_tarot_planet, i'm just making the tarot-exclusive version of that

[maiden phoenix]

Oh ok

[last sentinel]

is that the key difference to make it a hook instead of an overwrite? I was originally writing this in a seperate functions.lua file but i cant use self in that case no?

[daring fern]

No, you would have to save the old function to a variable than return that variable.

[last sentinel]

ah okay the same way that igo is working

[daring fern]

Is it possible to make it possible to use discards in arcana and spectral packs?

[coral flume]

Is there no way to check how many cards are the same within a hand?

[daring fern]

By suit and rank?

[coral flume]

yeah but non specified each hand

like not a specific suit or rank

like how many 10 hearts are played in this hand for example

[runic pecan]

How do I eval but in code instead of DebugPlus' in-game console?
Is there something like print?

[last sentinel]

hmm im getting a crash now when using consumables

[daring fern]

You spelled consumeable like consumable.

[last sentinel]

🙃

I was wondering why it wasnt recognizing it as a function lmao

ayyy switched it back to self instead of _card and it works now. Thanks for the help

[runic pecan]

WHY??? WHY IS ITS LENGTH ZERO???

[wintry solar]

It’s not a number indexed table, # only works by indexes

You’d need to count them manually

[wintry solar]

Iterate over the hand and add each card to a table that tracks how many times it has been played like table[card] = (table[card] or 0) + 1

[shrewd cobalt]

I copy and pasted this code from the example mods on the wiki, why isnt the 'Extinct!' message showing up? The destroy animation works perfectly fine

[runic pecan]

Another Today-I-Learn, thanks.

[coral flume]

cheers, its been giving me a headache so I'm going to return to it later.
I'll work on the joker art

[chrome widget]

Is there a way to return two messages simultaneouslt for different effects in a caulcate return table?

[daring fern]

You could do return {message = "message", extra = {message = 'message'}}

[chrome widget]

I have a joker that can alternatively give +10 mult, X1.5 mult, or both +10 and X1.5. For the latter effect, I want to be able to have it show messages for both. So would I also put one of the two mult effects in the extra table?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[chrome widget]

Yep that worked. Thanks!!

[wintry solar]

Mult and chip messages are automatically done for you

So you can just put mult and xmult in the top level

Unless you’re using custom messages

[chrome widget]

Doing so seemed to result in no message at all, just instant addition to the score

[wintry solar]

Then you’re using the wrong keys

Show code pls

[chrome widget]

    return {
        mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
        Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.x_mult,
    }```

[daring fern]

It should just be mult and xmult

[wintry solar]

Yeah dont use the mod keys

They don’t have messages attached

[chrome widget]

Thanks, I'll probably edit some of my other jokers I did manual messages for

But not tonight

[nocturne spire]

dose now how to make mod work for newer versions

It’s annoying to keep updating the code every so update

[runic pecan]

How do I make weighted pseudorandom_element?

[wintry solar]

You don’t

You’d need your own function

Though maybe I should pull all the stuff in smods out into a generalised function for others to use

[fickle stag]

how do I debug crashes? im not sure where in my mod is this comparison happening

[hushed field]

Are you testing your mod with Talisman enabled?

[fickle stag]

ah yeah

[hushed field]

Talisman turns certain numbers into tables. The crash is solvable either by making your mod Talisman compatible, or by turning off Talisman

[fickle stag]

oh I see

which numbers are turned into tables?

ill turn it off for now

[hushed field]

The total score, hand levels, and money

But it only matters in contexts of comparison

[fickle stag]

oh money 😭

[hushed field]

So any time you make a comparison like G.GAME.dollars > 15, Talisman will cause a crash

[fickle stag]

okay that makes sense, it was crashing entering the store

[fickle stag]

thanks!

[hushed field]

Fixing all talisman issues can be a bit finicky, so it's not a bad idea to just not focus on it for now and mark your mod as not talisman compatible. On the other hand, setting up compatibility early is a good step towards not having to go through every if statement in your code later on

[unborn bay]

generally you'd want to make your mod be compatible with talisman in the long run for those people running cryptid
generally compare calculations are safe so long as it is wrapped under to_big first

-- Talisman will not set the latter value here
to_big = to_big or function(a) return a end
-- Somewhere else...
if G.GAME.dollars > to_big(15) then
  -- bla bla
end

[hushed field]

I do wish that it was clearer to players that they don't need to run Talisman with everything, but compatibility is kinda necessary just because half your mods installs will be together with Cryptid 😋

[maiden phoenix]

If your mod and Cryptid doesn't work together it's not Cryptid they're going to delete

[hushed field]

😭

My mod's not made for cryptid numbers, please, I add jokers that just give 100 chips, I won't get you to eeee10

[maiden phoenix]

Me when Gemini:

[reef belfry]

The extremely dubious booster pack of whatever this is gonna contain

[hushed field]

Kino's Romance jokers of course

[fickle stag]

i only use talisman for the scoring animation skip

but i could prolly just skid that hook

[hushed field]

The hook is just making sure your mod doesn't crash when you're not running talisman. You'll have to wrap any comparison variable that you compare with G.GAME.dollars, the score global, and hand levels with a to_big or to_number

[wintry solar]

I wish we would normalise not making talisman compat, it’s ridiculous that every mod has to program around one mod in such drastic circumstances, it’s absolutely something that should be addressed on the talisman side imo

[hushed field]

I'd have suspected that it could be solved by either setting up the big num tables as meta tables, or changing the behaviour of comparators, but I'm far too much of a layman to know how realistic that'd be

[fickle stag]

right i could probably make comparators check if it's a table before doing stuff

i have a lot of comparisons and wrapping to_big around everything is so annoying

[ocean niche]

hmmm

[last sentinel]

do you still need remove = true in destroy_card if youre using :shatter? my enhancement(glass type) keeps destroying two cards when it shatters when its supposed to just destroy itself

[hushed field]

yes, the error comes from calling :shatter yourself, I reckon

[wintry solar]

You should add shatter = true in your enhancement definition

And also make sure that context.destroy_card = card

[ocean niche]

what is the state for cards that are being actively being dissolved/shattered

[last sentinel]

aight that fixed the double destroy but now its just dissolving instead of shattering

you mean shatter in there like this yeah?

[wintry solar]

Oh sorry, it’s shatters = true

[unborn bay]

@tall wharf is it fine if i steal your code for displaying cardareas in info queue

I need this so this doesn't accept any cards being dissolved cause It causes big balance issues for the mod

[red flower]

then no without changing the hover logic

[ocean niche]

im making a mockup rn

[unborn bay]

:D

ignore the ERROR message i havent set up the localization yet

[red flower]

isn't a tooltip too small to show all sold jokers

[tall wharf]

☝️🤓

[ocean niche]

@red flower like this

[red flower]

i mean you can do that but rn if the player stops hovering the card then the description disappears so you need to figure out that logic
and also while it is completely possible, any kind of custom graphics drawing is outside of my expertise. you would probably need to interact with love2d directly

[ocean niche]

Ill look into It even though I suck at lua

[ocean niche]

yeah

inside calculate return { message = "your message" }

[tall wharf]

that's an exception 😔

[red flower]

i need to learn rust

[hushed field]

Me when I'm some iron and I see that it's going to be raining soon

I think I should turn this concept for a Crime Enhancement into the Action Enhancement and make a different Crime enhancement

I feel like a Crime enhancement shouldn't be about retriggers, and probably interact with money in some way

i need something for my Brochure joker to do

its just like sitting as art . i mean yeah like i have 12 joker arts in backlog atp

[zealous glen]

I have some effectless art too

[native zinc]

yeah . im waiting on my mod testers to give feedback on
Blackmail
+2 Joker slots, -2 hands. Creates a Boss Tag per blind played or when sold
before trying to get it on mod manager

it's probably op for a common but they all die when it rerolls to The Water or The Plant and that's just funny

[next timber]

whats a boss tag

[zealous glen]

Isn’t it the one that rerolls Bosses?

[native zinc]

yes

[stark geode]

How do I get the name of the played hand and the most played hand

[zealous glen]

By the way, what do y’all think of this

[daring fern]

context.scoring_name for the played hand.

[modern kindle]

hm, thats not quite right

[daring fern]

local tempplayed = 0
local hand
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if v.played > tempplayed and v.visible then
        tempplayed = v.played
        hand = k
    end
end
if hand then
    return hand
end

For the most played hand

[native zinc]

not the -πe7 mult

[reef belfry]

me perssonally id like my mult to have digits not reaching inhumane numbers

[unborn bay]

man i still need to figure out how to trigger all jokers in a separate card area based on the amount of a specific joker you have

i wanna make rigged adult card work multiple times since it currently doesn't

[zealous glen]

Me too

[native zinc]

for loop G.jokers.cards and count amnt of specific joker maybe

[reef belfry]

i have to make 1 more joker till i go back to doing consumables but idk which one id do

[zealous glen]

You can add CardAreas to SMODS’ calculation

[unborn bay]

that's what IM already doing

[zealous glen]

also *throws fish at you*

[unborn bay]

add it multiple times probably?

[manic rune]

how does starfish work

[unborn bay]

since again it only works once per one of that joker

[manic rune]

like

when does it trigger

[zealous glen]

Repetitions

[manic rune]

is it a joker

or is it a consumable

[zealous glen]

How do you think it works

[manic rune]

uhhhh

[zealous glen]

Yes

[manic rune]

triggered in context.joker_main?

[unborn bay]

repetitions probably won't work here since it basically does this

card gets rigged

sets a boolean to add that cardarea to calculation table

hmm actually i could just rig that actually maybe i am stupid

[zealous glen]

Then don’t do that ;P

[unborn bay]

just make it a counter instead

[zealous glen]

How does Juggler work? 🤔

[manic rune]

oh

ohhhh

[unborn bay]

well no that's because doing calculate_joker and calculate_effect for every joker yields

results

sometimes it crashes due to stack overflow

[manic rune]

icic, i never saw a joker doing that before so i didnt assume that

[zealous glen]

I mean it sounds like a coding issue

[unborn bay]

i do fucking suck at programming yes

[manic rune]

-# but also, its actually not that good if thats the case

you are wasting a joker slot for +3 hand levels which can be obtained through planet cards pretty easily

doesnt help the fact that its randomized everytime you find it in shop too, so if its a hand you dont use - you never want it

[zealous glen]

Yes

[unborn bay]

but yeah doing a loop over all jokers in that cardarea every time the joker can be triggered is a bit finnicky and usually ends in either nothing happening or it just barely happening lmao

[zealous glen]

It’s strong early, and it encourages playing a random hand

[zealous glen]

That’s why you use SMODS’ built-in calculation

And retriggers

Because it works and you don’t need to think too hard

[unborn bay]

retriggers won't work here because the joker belongs in a completely different card area

again

[zealous glen]

That’s fine

[manic rune]

not as strong as you think, since +mult and +chip jokers are usually much more consistent than having to play a hard-to-get poker hand

[zealous glen]

Jokers retrigger playing cards

[manic rune]

and if it does land on a hand thats easy to play, the benefits usually arent as huge

[zealous glen]

Playing cards are in a completely different CardArea

[unborn bay]

yeah but thats a very specific context accounted by smods

[zealous glen]

It’s good enough early

[zealous glen]

And you can account for it yourself

[unborn bay]

the two card areas are functionally apart and never interact without a specific joker lmao

the normal version accounts for this fairly fine

just act like a blueprint to any card in that card area

[zealous glen]

People do struggle with the effect

[unborn bay]

this was the previous code i used prior to just adding the invisible card area to standard calculations

-- Go through all cards
for i = 1, #PTASaka.adultcard_cardarea.cards do
     G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({blocking = false, 
                function()
                    local joker = PTASaka.adultcard_cardarea.cards[i]
                    local ret = joker:calculate_joker(context)
                    --print("joker mr")
                    if ret and type(ret) == "table" then ret.message_card = card; ret.card = card; SMODS.calculate_effect(ret, card) end
                return true
                end
                }))
end

don't mind the shit formatting

SMODS.calculate_effect seems to just yield no result or maybe im stupid and just doing it wrong

[zealous glen]

I don’t think it automatically calculates

[unborn bay]

If you want to evaluate effects outside of the return table, use SMODS.calculate_effect({effects}, card), where {effects} is a table like the return table of a calculate function, and card is the card that is being evaluated.

[manic rune]

that seems right

[zealous glen]

I tried to use it before and it didn’t automatically calculate

[unborn bay]

🤔

[glad osprey]

fuck it im making this

[unborn bay]

looking more into this

think that together with SMODS.calculate_individual_effect might be what im looking for

since that indeed does the effect

ill do it tomorrow though

[manic rune]

are you [TITLE CARD]

[glad osprey]

anyone know how to render an image over the entire game without it being affected by screenshake

[manic rune]

cutscene code in lcorp mod

[zealous glen]

Cutscene?

[manic rune]

yeah

how do i check if state in the scoring step or not

[glad osprey]

look at the screen and see if its scoring

[manic rune]

thank you very much mr politician

this is why i hate you ❤️

[glad osprey]

--x--x

[manic rune]

--x--x❤️

[glad osprey]

where is this code perchance

[manic rune]

something related to display_cutscene

[manic rune]

bump

[glad osprey]

probably smth to do with G.STATE if i had to guess

[unborn bay]

nvm that doesn't do it because calculate_effect uses calculate_individual_effect anyway
