[modern kindle]

yea there is blind calc, but it isnt documented

[sturdy compass]

incredible lol

[modern kindle]

it was added awhile ago

[scarlet spire]

I'm attempting to make a voucher that bumps up the "X selected cards" number on applicable tarots and spectrals by 1, but I have no clue how to write a concise description for that mechanic, any ideas?

it's really simple but there's no existing terminology around that so I'm a little stuck on it

[modern kindle]

adds +1 to all tarot card increments

😎

[scarlet spire]

increments is just another word for increasing

[modern kindle]

i mean you just may as well use words that exist in the english language

[scarlet spire]

I was planning on that, yeah

[sturdy compass]

Where is the code for it injected? I'm not seeing it in blind.lua

[errant karma]

does anybody know how to change the title screen ace suit im desperate over here loll

[cursive sentinel]

update for when you'll be back (if you're interested ofc, you dont /have/ to do this), the increment works just well, the only thing that doesn't work is the reset of the mult if the condition isn't met, but at least it doesn't crash anymore!!!

[placid star]

how can you declare a global variable as 0 (or any integer value) without setting it in a config and resetting the variable everytime you get the joker?

[modern kindle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/548

heres the commit

[sturdy compass]

that works, thank ya

[modern kindle]

there should be more added after as well

[lucid owl]

how could i manipulate the blinds that show up on a deck? i'd like to make one where every boss blind is a finisher (don't ask lol)

[stark geode]

current code?

calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
        
        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            if G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 1 then
                    card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.increase
                    return{
                        message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                        colour = G.C.RED
                    }
            elseif G.GAME.current_round.hands_played > 1 then
                card.ability.extra.Xmult = 1
                return{
                    message = localize('k_reset'),
                    colour = G.C.RED
                }
            end
        end
end

this should fix the reset issue

i changed what you were checking in your else if

[sturdy compass]

Just a LITTLE buggy

[red flower]

you want to look at the Castle example mod joker

[placid star]

oh ty but no worries i got it working!

[lucid owl]

bump

[placid star]

i just set the variable to 0 if its nil

[errant karma]

guys please how do i make the title card an ace of hearts

[glad osprey]

me when I accidentally play the king of poverty

[glad osprey]

idk

your welcome

(i will research when I get home)

[cursive sentinel]

doesn't reset still

[sturdy compass]

😭

[glad osprey]

check multi-player mods code tho it should have smth like that

[stark geode]

the irs when you dont pay your taxes

[cursive sentinel]

i had tried replacing the elseif by just an else but didnt changed much

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/money-wallet-broke-gif-7855913

[glad osprey]

the irs when you do pay your taxes:

[stark geode]

idk what to do then

[cursive sentinel]

it's fine, i'll figure it out later, now i'll sleep x)

thank you a lot for all your help !!

[faint yacht]

Could probably do a Lovely patch? (based on Talisman's .toml)

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "game.lua"
pattern = "replace_card.states.visible = false"
position = "before"
payload = "SMODS.change_base(replace_card, 'Hearts')"
match_indent = true
overwrite = false

[lucid owl]

how could i make every single boss blind be a finisher regardless of ante?

for a deck, i should clarify

[neat plover]

whats the variable to check for joker free spaces

[sturdy compass]

There we go!

[tepid crow]

that's a fucked up boss blind man

[lucid owl]

balatro microtransactions are real

this is truly late stage capitalism

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[modern kindle]

We have micro, now where macro

[next timber]

???????????why?????

[glad osprey]

which lua extension do yall use for vscode

[primal robin]

Official one?

[glad osprey]

which one is that 😭

[primal robin]

Hm there's no official one, that's a bummer

sumneko.lua

[mild basalt]

Hey I am new to coding, how would I go about making a joker similar to riff-raff?

[glad osprey]

thx

[stark geode]

look at the riff raff code

[primal robin]

[stark geode]

you might need to redo the loc vars

[next timber]

the loc vars?? why the loc vars

[stark geode]

idk

its mad that the value isnt defined

[next timber]

yea but why loc_vars

i mean ill try it ig

[stark geode]

shit i meant config

[next timber]

ohh

[lucid owl]

lua language server

[next timber]

yeah that makes more sense

[glad osprey]

first joker of the new mod 🎉

(it totally works def)

[next timber]

that did not seem to fix the issue

ok it . only seems to happen when i have my custom joker

thats really weird

[sturdy monolith]

how can i check if the player has a certain number of one joker (e.g. check for exactly 5 holograms)

[glad osprey]

whats the atlas key for mod icons i forgot

[next timber]

loop through G.jokers.cards and check if the ability.name is the name of the card you want, and increment a count

[sturdy monolith]

thanks

[glad osprey]

"modicon"

[placid star]

how do you constantly update a cards mult based on other actions? for example i have a joker that scales Xmult based on how many jimbo jokers have been sold during the run if that makes sense

[minor furnace]

I would take a look at how Fortune Teller works

[cobalt vector]

The values in my Joker's desc say nil (xnil, +nil, etc), and idk why.

[sturdy monolith]

not working for some reason

[sturdy monolith]

did you define loc_vars and use #varnum# in your localization files?

[cobalt vector]

whats #varnum#?

[sturdy monolith]

text = {
"#2#"
}

would display the second returned variable in loc_vars for example

[next timber]

j_modprefix_mugiwara

[hasty mist]

sorry if i'm misunderstanding something, i'm new to modding, but there's functions for exponential, tetrational, and pentational mult (Emult_mod, EEmult_mod, EEEmult_mod), what do you do if you want to go past pentation?

[sturdy monolith]

ah

[next timber]

assuming the joker's key is mugiwara

[sturdy monolith]

it is

[cobalt vector]

        text = {
            'Gives one of four effects',
            'when each hand is played:',
            '{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips',
            '{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult',
            '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult',
            '{C:money}+$#1#{}'
        }
...

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
    return {  --#1# is replaced with card.ability.extra.Xmult
        center.ability.extra.chips,
        center.ability.extra.mult,
        center.ability.extra.Xmult,
        center.ability.extra.money,
        center.ability.extra.odds1,
        center.ability.extra.odds2,
        center.ability.extra.odds3,
        center.ability.extra.odds4,
        G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1 
        }
end,

[sturdy monolith]

make a pr to talisman ig

[sturdy monolith]

that's correct yes

but you need to put the returned vars into another vars = {} table

[hasty mist]

so there's no way to use any arbitrary operator?

[raw geyser]

What happens if a card is debuffed after first scoring, but before retriggers?

[sturdy monolith]

i don't think so

like this

[cobalt vector]

You mean something like

loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
    return { vars = { --#1# is replaced with card.ability.extra.Xmult
        center.ability.extra.chips,
        center.ability.extra.mult,
        center.ability.extra.Xmult,
        center.ability.extra.money,
        center.ability.extra.odds1,
        center.ability.extra.odds2,
        center.ability.extra.odds3,
        center.ability.extra.odds4,
        G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1 }
        }

?

[sturdy monolith]

correct, that should work now

[cobalt vector]

will give it a go

[cobalt vector]

It lists all the values as 40, when I only want the chips to be 40

should be +40 chips, +4 mult, x4 mult, and +$4

[rapid stag]

bump.

[sturdy monolith]

that worked, thanks :D

[sturdy monolith]

are you changing the "#num#" for each returned localization variable?

[cobalt vector]

oh

lemme try that

it works!

Thanks!

[sturdy monolith]

np

gear 5 works now :D

[glad osprey]

saturday

[cobalt vector]

what does this error message mean?

[glad osprey]

field ability no exist

[sturdy monolith]

show line 156 in awesomealbert rq

[stark geode]

Config is cooked

[cobalt vector]

            if pseudorandom('fours') == G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.ability.extra.odds2 then

[sturdy monolith]

            if self.ability and pseudorandom('fours') == G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.ability.extra.odds2 then

[cobalt vector]

so I just needed to add self.ability to the if statement?

[sturdy monolith]

yeah, it'll check if self.ability exists first now

[thin anchor]

now who could need this many vouchers

[cobalt vector]

doesn't crash anymore, so that's good 👍

[sturdy monolith]

also, if you're gonna be using self instead of card, use self.config.extra instead

[placid star]

so would it be in an event? im ngl im still confused asf

[sturdy monolith]

otherwise, use card.ability.extra

[minor furnace]

so there's a global G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.tarotthat tracks it across the run

you would need to create a similar global variable to track the jokers sold over the run, I think

[placid star]

i have Joker_sold that ticks up whenever a jimbo is sold, but im not sure when to update my loc_vars ...

[minor furnace]

do you want it to track over the entire course of the run, even if you don't have the joker?

[placid star]

yeahh

[minor furnace]

then yeah, you'll need to declare something like aG.GAME.jimbos_sold kind of variable, and then hook or patch the function responsible for selling jokers to increment it if the card being sold is a jimbo joker

and then reference G.GAME.jimbos_sold in your loc_vars

[placid star]

so i shouldnt return center.ability.extra.Xmult in my loc_vars and i should return my formula for calculating the Xmult instead {1 + {0.5 * Joker_sold}} and then update Xmult in my calculate in context.Joker_main?

okay my joker works tysm @minor furnace

[glad osprey]

how do i add a custom colour for messages

[errant karma]

can someone help/give a concrete way on how to change the ace on the title screen coz man i am going insane over heree

all i need is for it to be an ace of hearts and not spades

[faint yacht]

#💻・modding-dev message

[glad osprey]

probably not correct but shhhhh

[lucid owl]

how could i manipulate blinds for a deck? i'd like to make sure every boss is a showdown boss but can't seem to figure out how

[errant karma]

getting an error

[faint yacht]

...what's your Lovely version?

[errant karma]

probably outdated, let me go do that rq

[cobalt vector]

where would I put that?

[buoyant shard]

are there singular events for when a joker is obtained or removed, or do I have to list each scenario?

[lucid owl]

bump

[errant karma]

i dont think it's the lovely version but i could be wrong, just replaced mine with the latest version, same error

it might be a mod i've got probably causing it

[faint yacht]

Potentially?

In my lovely.toml, it just works.

[errant karma]

leme try something

[reef belfry]

Woul u date placeholder chan

[errant karma]

ok so it is infact a mod i've got on but i dont even know where to start with my 40+ mods

[stark geode]

I wanna see this negative lol

[glad osprey]

how do i make a blueprint have a message rather than the og card

[unborn bay]

are you using card_eval_status_text for that

[glad osprey]

no

[unborn bay]

think you don't need to specify message_card in this situation anyway

[glad osprey]

i did

if i didnt it would show the message on the retriggered card lol

[unborn bay]

ah lmao

[glad osprey]

looks like what i did works

[orchid thunder]

how do i force lose

[sturdy monolith]

replace

            if pseudorandom('fours') == G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.ability.extra.odds2 then

with

            if pseudorandom('fours') == G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds2 then

(sorry for the delayed response my Internet is shit)

[cobalt vector]

should I change the loc_vars table as well to self.config.extra?

[stray dagger]

i cant get debug plus to work

the key binds

[scarlet thorn]

HEX("RRGGBB")

[sturdy monolith]

only if you're using self.ability instead of card.ability there too

[cobalt vector]

so then I change

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return { vars = { --#1# is replaced with card.ability.extra.Xmult
            center.ability.extra.chips,
            center.ability.extra.mult,
            center.ability.extra.Xmult,
            center.ability.extra.money,
            center.ability.extra.odds,
            G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1 }
            }
    end,

into

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return { vars = { --#1# is replaced with card.ability.extra.Xmult
            self.config.extra.chips,
            self.config.extra.mult,
            self.config.extra.Xmult,
            self.config.extra.money,
            self.config.extra.odds,
            G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1 }
            }
    end,

?

[sturdy monolith]

correct

well, no actually, you already had it correct in the original loc_vars since you were originally using center.ability

i was saying if you were already trying to use self.ability

[cobalt vector]

So for

if self.ability and pseudorandom('fours') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds then

I can just replace self.ability and self.config with center.ability and center.config?

[sturdy monolith]

no you need to either use center.ability or self.config, one or the other

[cobalt vector]

so

if center.ability and pseudorandom('fours') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds then

?

sorry if Im being dumb idk lua coding much

[sturdy monolith]

you're using both
#💻・modding-dev message

[sturdy monolith]

you're good

either

if center.ability and pseudorandom('fours') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/center.ability.extra.odds then

or

if self.config and pseudorandom('fours') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds then

[cobalt vector]

if I use center.ability, then I won't need to change my loc_vars from what I had before, right?

    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return { vars = { --#1# is replaced with card.ability.extra.Xmult
            center.ability.extra.chips,
            center.ability.extra.mult,
            center.ability.extra.Xmult,
            center.ability.extra.money,
            center.ability.extra.odds,
            G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1 }
            }
    end,

[sturdy monolith]

correct, they'll change as the data of the joker changes

[gilded narwhal]

hey gang how would I do something to cards that are played but not scored?

[cobalt vector]

            if center.ability and pseudorandom('fours') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/center.ability.extra.odds then

[sturdy monolith]

try using self.config then

[cobalt vector]

holy crap it worked

Thanks!

[last sentinel]

is ease_dollars not the correct call to have an enhancement grant money when scored?

[tired skiff]

how do i check if the player has less than or equail to a certain ammount

basicly what is the code for vagabond

[glad osprey]

is it possible to make a joker change sprites

[ivory coral]

should just be dollars = <value> in the return

[stark geode]

Can't you go in cards.lua and check

[scarlet spire]

isnt this how you get end-of-round payout like golden joker? ease_dollars should be correct for giving money in the middle of the round

[tired skiff]

i can but it is to complicated for my dumb brain to understand

(i have looked)

im assuming its just G.GAME.dollars <= self.ability.extra

[scarlet spire]

yeah you can just check G.GAME.dollars against the wanted value for that

[ivory coral]

nah end of round payments is just whatever value is returned by calc_dollar_bonus

[tired skiff]

so like g.game.dollars <= 4

[scarlet spire]

i've used ease_dollars a few times with no issue so it's also valid afaik

though I assume returning dollars = gives the proper message popup

[ivory coral]

yeah i think that works too
theres a bunch of different functionally identical things like that

[slate bison]

hey guys, pretty new to this stuff, does anyone know if i want to create multiple jokers in my mod can i put 2 .png's in the assets folder or if i should put both assets into one .png file

[tired skiff]

chat i got this one

[reef belfry]

How do i make this look like its "perfumed"

[manic rune]

question, why doesn't this work

[tired skiff]

so basicly the 1x and 2x is where u want the images and basicly the image that is a joker is i think called a atlas (see image 1), you usualy should keep all the sprites in the same atlas but you can have multiple atlas's (see image 2) but you have to in the code for the joker specify what atlas you want to use see image 3

[manic rune]

i want it to replace all "self.cards" with "(self.cards or {})"

[tired skiff]

i have all in 1 image

[slate bison]

so its not a problem to do both?

thats cool

[tired skiff]

use
pos = {x = ? , y = ?}, to select what one you want
so top left one would be 0,0 and the bottem left would be 0,1

[tired skiff]

but i would recomend doing all joker sprites in the same atlas

but its up to you

[sturdy compass]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-bald-my-eyes-gif-9010274755096376219

[slate bison]

oh wait, its not 0,0 and 0,95?

[tired skiff]

lol

[slate bison]

ill probably do that

[ivory coral]

afaik jokers always take their sprites from an atlas so its just more convenient to put them all in one atlas

[slate bison]

cuz jokers are 71x95

[tired skiff]

so in the atlas you set your x and y which should be 71 and 95 if i remember
but the 0,1 and stuff is to select where that 71x95 rectangle selects

[glad osprey]

hey yall
tf am i doing wrong

[slate bison]

oh

yeah

that makes complete sense

mb

[tired skiff]

so basicly its just selecting a box if that makes sence

[sturdy compass]

What's the code for the thing you were using/testing when it crashed

[slate bison]

yeah yeah i completely forgot that u set x and y before

[glad osprey]

?

[tired skiff]

if u need anymore help im here sometimes

but i will prob be useless

and im currently in class

[slate bison]

sure! ill probably need it

[tired skiff]

o7 my grades

[slate bison]

LMFAo

no im a starter in this so u will know a lot more than me

[glad osprey]

its def an issue with the localization

idk why tho

[tired skiff]

so was i as of 1 week ago

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions @slate bison this is usefull

[dapper sun]

how do i turn a card into glass?

[tired skiff]

and also if u need to "copy code" go to a mod and look in the code and it should help roughly

[sturdy compass]

Hmm, not as familiar with localization stuff, afraid I can't really give much advice on that

[tired skiff]

like i find a modded joker simillar to what i want and i "yoink" part of the code

[slate bison]

oh yeah i was watching a video, cuz i learn better with them, and i basically have like a joker working

[tired skiff]

ahh yes that one

[sturdy compass]

'v' is a reference to the card being turned to glass in this case

[tired skiff]

fair but their are not many/ any videos so its alot of reading

[slate bison]

yeah honestly been doing that a lot too lol

[slate bison]

yeah ik

thats why i came here

usually learn on my own

[tired skiff]

my dms are always open so yeah

[dapper sun]

ty

[slate bison]

thank u!!

will ask u if im lost with anything

[tired skiff]

can u dm me once just so i will get pinged in future

if you are ok with that

[slate bison]

suree

[terse marsh]

Hey im working on a mod rn for one of my friends and im trying to add chips to a joker based off the club cards drawn

[tired skiff]

i personaly would no longer be friends with that person

[terse marsh]

im having some issues understanding lots of the contexts and shit and havent really fucked with lua

[tired skiff]

good luck buddy

[terse marsh]

damn

💔

[reef belfry]

Im probably never making an edition

[tired skiff]

if u dont know what you are doing with lua i would not start there

[reef belfry]

Shaders look.. horrifying to deal with..

[terse marsh]

well i know the basics

and i understand the syntax

[tired skiff]

i mean you could maybe u could do chips = to the amount of club cards in hand

that would be way easyer

[terse marsh]

well yea

well ok from what ive read we can see what cards were drawing and then based on the cards were drawing add chips to that card

does that not work?

[tired skiff]

send me link

i want to see it for future use

[terse marsh]

well im looking at the src code

theres a hash for cards drawn

[tired skiff]

pls lemme see

[terse marsh]

yea 1s

[tired skiff]

YIPPE

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-happy-yippee-creature-yippee-meme-yippee-gif-gif-1489386840712152603

[terse marsh]

in instances theres something called draw hash

im assuming its related to cards ur going to draw in the future

[tired skiff]

my god

i am not smart enough for that

[dapper sun]

why isn't my joker doing anything? i've even set the probability to 1 in 1 in case i was just getting unlucky

nvmd

i see it now

v.other_card:set_ability instead of v:set_ability

bc it got left over from before i made the code more like midas mask

it's still doing nothing???

[sturdy compass]

Did you remember to save

[cinder light]

Hey just quick question here. I just wanted to know what the context. variable would be for detecting a glass card in the hand

[reef belfry]

I didnt know seals were that big

[dapper sun]

yeah

other changes, like me changing the description text, carried over just fine

now i'm trying literally copy-pasting the midas mask code and it's still not working

[dapper sun]

try looking at the glass joker code

huh apparently it isn't saving

[glad osprey]

context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.hand

[dapper sun]

i looked closer and no it didn't

[cobalt vector]

I wanna make a joker that randomly triggers one of four effects. Would I use the same code as I would usually use for a probability joker?

[dapper sun]

now i'm confused,,

yep the code's saved

but it still isn't working

[sturdy compass]

Is it just straight up not doing anything at all?

[dapper sun]

nope

nothing at all

even with the probability set to 1 in 1

[sturdy compass]

How is your calculate function being defined?

[dapper sun]

here's the full calculate function. there were parts i weren't including before as they work fine

i literally copy-pasted all the glass card logic from midas mask why isn't it working 😭

oh i see it

G.play

midas mask is in G.jokers

if this works now i'll explode

[unborn bay]

i did it anyway

[dapper sun]

[unborn bay]

i need to figure out how to patch card_eval_status_text outside of returned values by smod

[sturdy compass]

Finally my two boss blinds are feeling a little less lonely

[tall apex]

Yipeeee :3

[reef belfry]

so it begins

they look really off

[gentle rain]

i disagree!

theyre pawsome as tuna

[terse marsh]

hey im having issues with my joker registering when i boot up balatro

this is what i got

is there something im missing lmfao

[glass scaffold]

I never knew SMODS.INIT existed until today.

[edgy reef]

It's 0.9.8 API

AKA deprecated.

[glass scaffold]

Ah.

[terse marsh]

so then what should i do instead

what works lmfao

trying to foollow a couple tutorials and i cant find anything that actually works

[lucid owl]

if your smods is a recent version than this won't do anything, i suggest you check out https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[terse marsh]

alright thanks so much 🙏

for a first time lua project this is way out of my depth but its interesting lmfao

[cobalt vector]

bump

[mild basalt]

I would assume so

[cobalt vector]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            if self.config and pseudorandom('fours') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds then
                return {
                    card = card,
                    Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                    message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
            if self.config and pseudorandom('fours') > G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds then
                return {
                    card = card,
                    chips_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                    message = '+' .. card.ability.extra.chips,
                    colour = G.C.CHIPS
                }    
            end
        end
    end,

[terse marsh]

I tried my best but i still cant seem to get it showing

[cobalt vector]

I know how to do it when it's a 1/2 with two different options, but idk how I'd do it for a 1/4 with four difefrent options

[mild basalt]

While I don't know what to do for a fourth option, could a third option be equal? Sorry if this is wrong, I am very new to modding.

[tepid crow]

Doesn't this randomly trigger A and randomly trigger B (so could also be both or none)?
edit: me stupida

[terse marsh]

Outside of atlas and the SMODS.joker what should i add so it actually registers 😭

i downloaded the latest versions of SMODS

so idk why it isnt working

[cobalt vector]

When the odds are set as four, yeah

[blazing cairn]

nig

[tepid crow]

I don't think it's really relevant what the odds are set to? As in, couldn't all 4 scenarios still happen when the odds are 1/2 or 1/8? 🤔

[cobalt vector]

You mean that it could trigger both the xmult and +chips at once?

[tepid crow]

oh wait I'm stupid it's a return it can't do both

but can't it still do neither? 🤔

[cobalt vector]

I’ll have to test it a bit more

It seems so, yeah

[tepid crow]

Yeah, your logic is a bit messed up. Instead of rolling a single dice and checking the result, you're rolling a dice every time you're checking the result (and thus rolling multiple dice)

[cobalt vector]

Do you mean that each time I have "if self.config and pseudorandom('fours') > G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds then
" it rolls the dice separately?

[tepid crow]

kinda

yeah

[tepid crow]

pseudorandom(...) gives a different random decimal between 0 and 1 every time you call it, e.g. 0.46588486367842
then you compare it to G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds where

• G.GAME.probabilities.normal which usually is 1, but can be changed by e.g. oops all 6s which doubles it
• self.config.extra.odds is the odds on your card, whatever you pick

[cobalt vector]

So then

            if self.config and pseudorandom('fours') > G.GAME.probabilities.normal/self.config.extra.odds then

checks if the number is greater than 0.5, and then does the thing if it is?

[tepid crow]

if your card's odds are 2, then yeah it checks if the random decimal is greater than 0.5

[cobalt vector]

So then, if the odds are 4, it checks if its greater or less than 2, right?

[tepid crow]

0.25

1/4

[cobalt vector]

oh, yeah

And if its 1 in 3, then 0.33

[tall wharf]

range is from 0 to 1

[cobalt vector]

ok got it

[tall wharf]

guys

do you use inclusive or exclusive operation to check for chance

< or ≤

[cobalt vector]

I use < personally

[tepid crow]

I don't think it matters?

[paper zealot]

Fewer symbols > more symbols

(personal opinion)

[tepid crow]

< or ≤
I don't see the difference in symbol count /s

[paper zealot]

(also tabs > spaces)

Coming up next in #💻・modding-dev :

Why my mod saying "Unexpected symbol "≤" in myjerker.lua"

[tepid crow]

when is someone adding a preprocessor to smods so that when mods get loaded we can fix obvious stuff like this

[slate bison]

Does anyone know where is the API for all the text formatting in the game on steammodded? I wanna create the text effect of spectral cards but idk where what is the formatting for it

[glass scaffold]

I don't think you can use that symbol in Lua.

I think you use >= or =< or something like that.

[tepid crow]

I can't tell if you're joking or not

[glass scaffold]

...yeah, we'll say I am. I guess.

[neat plover]

how do i get the number of empty jokie slots?

[tepid crow]

check out https://github.com/Breezebuilder/Steamodded-Wiki/blob/dev/Text-Styling.md use the link breeze (the author) posted

[slate bison]

nice thanks

[paper zealot]

Actually check out https://github.com/Breezebuilder/Steamodded-Wiki/wiki/Text-Styling

[slate bison]

erm

[paper zealot]

Slightly more friendly UI while I wait for the PR to be accepted

[tepid crow]

what's the difference 🤔

[tall wharf]

should i move useful libraries to its own mod

chat

[tepid crow]

maybe check out the vanilla code for stencil?

[slate bison]

oh damn u are doing the whole guide think

thats actually cool

[paper zealot]

One is just the raw .md file which is rendered in by GitHub's .md renderer, the other is the full Wiki page rendered by the (very slightly but meaningfully different) wiki renderer

[neat plover]

yeah, ill do that thanks

[paper zealot]

It makes a difference for the inline svgs

And my brain

For some reason as-yet unstudied by modern science

Also if anyone has access to Safari, let me know if all the SVGS and animations look right

[tepid crow]

I've seen a couple of devs try this (cryptid+talisman, almanac+jenlib, strange pencil+strangelib), and honestly? Doesn't really seem worth it to me

the upside for you is that someone else could use the helper functions etc from your library? the downside is that it becomes harder to install for new modding users?

but then whoever is interested in wanting to use your helper functions also has to consider the up/downsides of that

[tall wharf]

in case i want to make another mod

i liked my card display code

[tepid crow]

if it's for your own mods I think it's a compromise between having to maintain either 2 copies and easier installation for users vs only 1 copy but harder installation for users

[unborn bay]

i stole said card display code it s very cool

[shut crater]

is there a way to get a table of every joker in the game?

is it something with G.P_CENTER_POOLS?

I answered my own question

[primal shoal]

"P_CENTERS" is everything

[shut crater]

right but I just want jokers, so I'd have to use G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Joker"]

and then...do something with that

[daring fern]

You check if the key starts with j_

[primal shoal]

are you looking for a joker or are you doing a random selection?

[shut crater]

random selection

[primal shoal]

string.find(k, "j_")
put that in a table
and pick a val with psuedo random and your have your random key

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do  
            if (string.find(k, "j_") and v.rarity ~= 4 then
                table.insert(jokers, k)
            end
        end

[shut crater]

is that preferable to using P_CENTER_POOLS to look at only Jokers, grabbing a key, and then going to P_Centers with that key?

I'm very much still new to this and trying to understand the codebase

[primal shoal]

i think if i remeber correctly CENTER_POOLS is everything that can be picked in that run so far and CENTERS is actually everything

[shut crater]

in that case I think I should definitely be using CENTER_POOLS

to prevent dupe jokers

the goal is for a joker to create another random joker

[primal shoal]

then showman is a thing so make sure to check for that

[chrome widget]

Quick help if anyone knows this off the top of their heads, I'm trying to add an extra node to the definition for the shop UI right here to show a new cardarea, but I can't seem to figure out where to append it/change the tree so that it appears correctly and doesn't shunt the entire menu to the left

[tall wharf]

aren't jokers always in the Joker pool

as in they will always be there

[shut crater]

get_current_pool seems like a solution?

[tall wharf]

chat

still thinking about this roach bs

actually what if card destroyed

idk how i would do that

I'll rethink

[high sinew]

I can get my lucky cards to activate for this joker idea is when a two pair is in scoring hand makes all cards lucky enhancement

its making the joker trigger cards dont turn lucky

[daring fern]

Instead of c:set_edition do c:set_ability('m_lucky')

[high sinew]

Damn

Love making minor mistakes man thanks bro

absolute goat thx bro

[slate bison]

anybody knows is where i get the API information for context.other_card?

idk if context.other_card:is_queen() is a thing

[daring fern]

You would do if context.other_card:get_id() == 12 for checking if a card is a queen

[slate bison]

ohhhhh got it thanks

[daring fern]

It's in the source code.

[slate bison]

yeah im pretty new to this so idk how to see the source code :(

for the game

[daring fern]

Do you have 7-zip?

[slate bison]

yes

[daring fern]

Do you know where the game files are located?

[slate bison]

yes yes

[high sinew]

@daring fern do I need to specify a "Full house" for tat chocloate joker u just saw?

or does two pair register it

[daring fern]

You would have to check for next(context.poker_hands['Two Pair']) instead of checking the scoring name if you want to check if it contains two pair.

[daring fern]

Right click on the game exe

[high sinew]

Ahh

That’s totally logical it’s how I set up my other jokers

[slate bison]

oh yeah thats cool

[rapid stag]

what are the maximum dimensions of an atlas

[slate bison]

is there a easy way to find what i want in the source code of the game?

[daring fern]

card.lua is where most jokers code is.

[slate bison]

nice thanks

that will help a lot

[daring fern]

There is no max size to an atlas I don't think.

[rapid stag]

this is not true. it seems to not like something i tried with a 76480x128 (2x) pixel atlas

oh huh, i forgot to change the joker's name

[glass scaffold]

not me using 710 x 950 for mine.

[crisp coral]

loading this image takes about 670MB of RAM, hope that helps!

[rapid stag]

weird given that the final image is only 196kb
anyway, i reworked it to 8000x320 (1x, 2x is 16000x640) and it works now, so

[crisp coral]

nope, the filesize doesn't matter, it's the size of the file in pixels

[scarlet spire]

okay I am extremely confused,

why does the upper one crash when I go to it on the new run menu, but the lower one doesn't??

oh wait

okay i'm blind, it's the #1# not being able to target anything because there's no loc vars

[sturdy compass]

Oh my god 😭

[primal shoal]

ooh this is interesting
the next and previous pages of the collection are preloaded/ not unloaded, so any animated jokers will still play when on the page next to it

[sturdy compass]

If given a chance, Bad Apple will appear in anything one way or another

[rapid stag]

there's already a mod that adds the entirety of bad apple as a joker
not sure how it does its one

[glass scaffold]

If it has a screen, Bad Apple shall be seen.

[primal shoal]

if i could figure out of the change the text dynamically every frame then I could do it in ASCII

[rapid stag]

in a joker description? would have to be via a main_end

anyway, time to very quickly do my new idea where it appears in inverted colours if the sock and buskin is negative

[sturdy compass]

Oh goodness

[late basin]

is there a function that can check for wild cards? Like is_face() but for wild cards?

[cursive sentinel]

Hi, is it correct to put a if within a if but after its return?

[mild saddle]

I'm trying to debug a mod (that I did not create), that is supposed to replace edition textures (foil, holo, poly, neg) with ones of its own. However, out of all the injects the mod's doing, none of them actually end up targeting anything (which I could deduce from the code). All the editions in the game just look like the base edition.
I have no prior experience in Balatro modding, but I do know how to mod Minecraft, and lovely's injection system seems way easier. Do you know a conventional way to reskin editions / a mod that implements edition reskins that I can use as a reference?

[rapid stag]

you sure?

[daring fern]

is_suit already checks for wild cards.

[glass scaffold]

I'm sure if you go through SMODS' github, they have some example mods, one of them being an ExampleEdition.

Try that out.

[crisp coral]

errr what is this mean to be

well the calculation below

[rapid stag]

pixel dimensions

total pixels

i made a graphic with more pixels that works

[crisp coral]

ah no, image dimensions are rounded to the next multiple of 2

[rapid stag]

ah

if i start from center, how can i get a card's edition?

[crisp coral]

so your old image is loaded as 131072*128

center does not store edition, but card does with card.edition

[unborn bay]

a reminder that:
center refers to a card's metadata, like its name, starting values, and rarity
card refers to card

[rapid stag]

ah. so before i add the sprite node, can i do self.edition to get the card edition or will that break things

[primal shoal]

self.edition is a table
self.edition.key is a easy way the check

[rapid stag]

the answer was no

gotta pass it into the function first

and a quick tprint shows that self didn't even contain edition regardless of the card's edition, anyway

[runic pecan]

I still don't know how to debug this, please help.
fig. 1 : crash message;
fig. 2 : game.lua code in question;
fig. 3&4 : the code of joker that causes said crash.

[cursive sentinel]

how do you show the blueprint compatibility text? is it set by default on false?

[runic pecan]

There.

[cursive sentinel]

ah sorry i wasnt asking,,, im a newbie asking for help too x)

[runic pecan]

And those two picture is my attempt to answer your question. No worries.

[rapid stag]

center does in fact store edition.

[cursive sentinel]

ah ok ok thank you!

[rapid stag]

my immediate interpretation is that - it saves all of the things in config as part of that joker to retain to load on loading a saved game - but it doesn't like when it runs into the function.

you might have to figure out a different way of doing what you're trying to do that has the function elsewhere and not as part of config

[slate bison]

probably a really stupid mistake im doing, but can someone help me in why is this not working? it keeps saying its something in line 84 or smth but i changed it around a lot and it still not changing

[unborn bay]

a mod or smods itself may be causing this

[candid willow]

I now actually have time to work on my mod
does anyone know of a joker that modifies the behavior of existing consumables? I've already figured out how to use take_ownership on its own, not so much as to make it with a joker

[slate bison]

does that mean its my code?

[wintry solar]

Line numbers would help

[slate bison]

oh shi sorry wait

[rapid stag]

behold. if the bad apple is negative, the bad apple is negative.

[paper zealot]

Your weird indentation is doing you no favours here. Looks like you're using VSCode, try installing the Lua extension and running auto-formatting first

[wintry solar]

I think you just need to remove that comma on line 81 but your indentation and line break convention (or lack of) makes your code very difficult to follow

[slate bison]

i mean im kinda copy pasting from source code so yeah maybe thats why

[spare furnace]

is there a way i can have a joker run something after each hand is scored visually? i want to have a card that changes one of its vars after every hand but if i do it in calculate the description changes immediately, meaning the var as used in scoring the current hand looks different from the var as it appears in the joker's description

[sharp blade]

I think you would have to look at the cards currently selected and put whatever calculation you want in the loc_vars function

[maiden phoenix]

Just highlight your whole joker, right click the selection and click "Format Selection"

[limber rampart]

sorry if this question is answered somewhere else but i have a deck skin i made that i wanted to upload to the balatro mod manager, where would i go to do that ?

or just wherever most mods are uploaded im not even sure if mod manager is the most popular place for mods lol

[maiden phoenix]

I think you'd have a better chance for an answer in their thread, personally I've never done it 😅 https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1339375696254074942

[slate bison]

are u saying this assuming i have the lua extension on? cuz i dont have it and im not seeing anything like format selection :(

because im stuck trying to make the extension work

[maiden phoenix]

You can get the lua extension trough vsc

[slate bison]

on the extensions tab?

[maiden phoenix]

yes

[slate bison]

when i search "lua" these are the ones that ppear

im sorry im really stupid at this stuff

[maiden phoenix]

Do you have any lua extension in "installed" ?

[slate bison]

so now im trying to find it? idk

[maiden phoenix]

Also which os are you on?

[slate bison]

im on windows

[slate bison]

the ones i installed are there in the picture

i didnt find any other :(

[maiden phoenix]

oop

[slate bison]

sadge

[maiden phoenix]

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

Try this one and disable the old BabeLua one

And NPL too

[slate bison]

do i just click in install on the website?

[maiden phoenix]

Yea that should work

[slate bison]

ok im done it does nothing when i click on it 😭

oh its not detection vs code on my pc i thingk?

[maiden phoenix]

Odd

Can you give me your VSCode version? Go to vsc code on the "Help" tab > About

[slate bison]

no wait i got it

idk why

i uninstalled the whole thing and installed again

i have the lua thing now

thank u 🙏

[maiden phoenix]

Np 👍

[pale venture]

Is using VScode worth it? For now i've done all my stuff on notepad++

[slate bison]

probably not needed if u are a pro

im trying to get a joker give 1 random negative spectral card everytime a queen is scored, but it keeps crashing when i play anything other than a queen on my hand

does anyone know what the problem is?

[rapid stag]

same

[slate bison]

this is the error that i keep getting

[reef belfry]

im fresh outta ideas for jokers n stuff

should i make a modding post conceptualization to steal other peoples cool ideas

[maiden phoenix]

context.other_card only exists in a few specific contexts, try adding and context.individual to the G.play check line

also the focus = self might cause issue too

[daring fern]

It is also get_id()

[slate bison]

yeah i changed that after sorry

[slate bison]

but its still this error

[slate bison]

that was it! damn that is going to my notebook

i didnt know that

makes a lot of sense

[paper zealot]

Press Ctrl+Alt+F Shift+Alt+F to auto-format. Should make your code a lot more readable

[slate bison]

its not working :(

[paper zealot]

Whoops, it's Shift+Alt+F

[slate bison]

oh damn

it worked

[drowsy tulip]

rq is pseudorandom inclusive

like if i do pseudorandom(seed, 1, 3) will i get numbers 1-3 or 1-2

[cursive sentinel]

is it possible to create a random tag?

i guess not with the create card since it isnt a card type, so i'm not rly sure where to look into

tried to understand riff raff and diet cola but they seem built rly different

im trying this as a base but im not sure to understand it

[daring fern]

1-3

[drowsy tulip]

ty

[primal shoal]

any good?

[rapid stag]

in terms of understanding the mechanic? sure.
in terms of balance? i like it.

[primal shoal]

and it loop around to aces so it viable in other build also

[reef belfry]

That is one ugly looking title card

[modest iris]

hey guys, can someone please help me with this issue?

[halcyon osprey]

is increasing the ante as simple as like

ante = card.abilty....ante?

[daring fern]

No, its ease_ante(number)

[halcyon osprey]

ty!

[halcyon osprey]

okay so how do i make an effect that removes all the jokers you have (except enternals)

and a second effect that removes your whole hand

i can do individual card (which is itself), but idk how to remove the whole hand

[manic rune]

what function is run when you play a hand?

[pale venture]

Are you familiar with for loops?

[halcyon osprey]

Not with Lua

ive probably used a couple in my mod alr but idrk what they do people are just helpin me

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted()

[manic rune]

ty

[daring fern]

for k, v in (G.jokers.cards) do
    if not v.ability.eternal then
        v:start_dissolve()
    end
end

[pale venture]

Yup

[halcyon osprey]

and then the same thing but like G.hand.cards?

[daring fern]

No.

[halcyon osprey]

augh

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.hand then
    return {remove = true}
end

[halcyon osprey]

this one card is gonna ruin everything and its great

just like how Bowser spaces in mario party screw with you big time

didnt see that you got a star, it was copied from my star joker lmao

[halcyon osprey]

that crashed me lmao

and i dont think the hand one worked either

[daring fern]

Is this in calculate?

[halcyon osprey]

yeah, because its apart of my 8 outcomes

[daring fern]

Did it hard crash?

[halcyon osprey]

it did

Hand one didnt work and

[daring fern]

What line is number 397?

[halcyon osprey]

the for line

and the destroy card doesnt work (this is so confusing lmao)

[daring fern]

I forgot to put pairs again.

for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if not v.ability.eternal then
        v:start_dissolve()
    end
end

[halcyon osprey]

the joker destroy is amazing yes, now its just the hand

[daring fern]

context.destroy_card doesn't happen during context.final_scoring_step

[halcyon osprey]

i think i just did it, uhhh lemme test more lmao

well that worked lmao

[manic rune]

can i destroy a card without using start_dissolve?

[daring fern]

No thats going to create ghost cards.

[pale venture]

This won't proc canio though

You have to also return a table of the destroyed cards after the loop

[manic rune]

for some reason i cant seem to find the code for start_dissolve function anywhere

what

wtf happened to my keyboard

[pale venture]

Oh yeah that's the bigger issue lol

[halcyon osprey]

then what should i do because i really dont want my enhancement effect to move out of end of scoring

[paper zealot]

Do you have case sensitivity or match whole word or regex turned on?

[daring fern]

Its located at line 2130 in card.lua

[manic rune]

i dont think so

[manic rune]

thanks :3

weird how card.lua didnt pop up

-# oh yeah lovely dump doesnt have card.lua

[wintry solar]

What scuffed version of smods are you using that doesn’t dump card.lua

[manic rune]

supposedly the latest one

-# i think, i havent updated smods for a few weeks now

[crisp coral]

latest one
havent updated for a few weeks

[pale venture]

You could use some variables to mark if the effect proced and cards should be destroyed in another context i guess.

[daring fern]

context.destroy_card is at the end of scoring.

[manic rune]

surely 0324b shouldnt exclude card.lua from lovely dump

[crisp coral]

uhh if shouldn't

[halcyon osprey]

well i havent gotten a ghost card, its doing my hand not played cards which is what i wanted

[daring fern]

Have you tried going to the next round and seeing if they are there?

[manic rune]

card:start_dissolve() actually doesnt need to be in events, though its usually recommended to do so

i think its only under certain circumstances that they start to create ghost cards

[halcyon osprey]

its if its destroying your Played Cards it ghostifys them

i had to deal with many ghosts since i have my board cards destroy themselves after use and they dont do that no more

[paper zealot]

In defense, the stable release version of Steamodded hasn't changed in over 2 weeks

[unborn bay]

a world without card.lua in the lovely dump

sounds dystopian

[manic rune]

is this fun to play against

you need to move your card around for it to not be destroyed, basically

[cursive sentinel]

doesn't sound balatroesque that much

[paper zealot]

For some people, possibly. This would be a dealbreaker for me tho

[daring fern]

What if you press the sort buttons?

[pale venture]

Well if it works... to make it canio compatible you just have to create a local table before the loop, insert every destroyed card in the table with the loop, and then return: remove_playing_cards = true,
removed = your table

[manic rune]

i think it works too

[halcyon osprey]

tbh idek if i want it to be canio compadible, makes the effect too positive for landing on a bowser space

[manic rune]

asriel is supposed to be really strong, so i wanted to give them some skills which are more unique to represent that :p

[unborn bay]

as a humble flush build main this is horrible for me

[manic rune]

they are no longer locked to stuff like "When hand is played", "When discard is used", etc

the timer counts down regardless of whatever is going on

yes, that also includes during scoring, so you arent just sitting around to wait now

[manic rune]

fair enough

[crisp coral]

sounds like the ideal condition to create ghost cards

[unborn bay]

but what about the case where you can't really do that

like the talisman calculating screen

[crisp coral]

cry about it

[manic rune]

didnt seem to create one in my case, i tested

[unborn bay]

atleast there's an abort button now but

yeah

[crisp coral]

(i don't think update runs there)

[unborn bay]

"im finally done" fucking wrong

i need to account for cases when extra is already defined in a calculated result table

[manic rune]

...i mean, that means you can easily one shot each of asriel's phases with broken jokers, so i think thats pretty fair

[unborn bay]

....actually

what jokers do use the extra table value anyway

idk exactly if i actually need to account for that edge case

[halcyon osprey]

whats the context for after a hand is done because im wanting the card destroy effects to happen after everything

[manic rune]

context.after?

[halcyon osprey]

cause rn they get destroyed and still score and stuff, and im fine with the scoring but id really like it if they visually dissapear after

[halcyon osprey]

i tried that and it, didnt work for some reason

[glad osprey]

hmmmmm

how in hells name do you do raritys

[reef belfry]

Holy fuck is that dozer grace

[unborn bay]

erm actually its rarities 🤓

[glad osprey]

please send help

[glad osprey]

yes

[halcyon osprey]

wait a more curious question, is there anyway for there to be a way to Block your enhanced cards from being able to to change?

like i dont want my Blue Space to turn into a goldcard or be deathed or smth

[unborn bay]

guess you could add a check for that and you can prevent a change in enhancement manually

in what context are we talking about here

like in general

or is the enhancement being set manually

[zealous glen]

@manic rune did you see the new fish wording

[tepid rock]

    local my_pos = nil
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do,
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == self then my_pos = i; break end,
        end,
        if my_pos and G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1] and not self.getting_sliced and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].ability.eternal and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].getting_sliced then 
            local sliced_card = G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1]
                sliced_card.getting_sliced = true
                G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                    G.GAME.joker_buffer = 0
                    G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1]:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.e_negative, nil, true)
                    self:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
                    sliced_card:start_dissolve({HEX("57ecab")}, nil, 1.6)
                    play_sound('slice1', 0.96+math.random()*0.08)
                return true end }))
    end,
}

crashing and idk why

[unborn bay]

we need line numbers

what does your code look like in your Text Editor Of Choice™

[tepid rock]

Relevent part

above is just "cost = 2,"

[halcyon osprey]

how can i check for open joker slots (i have cards that make jokers and they ignore the limit lol)

[unborn bay]

why does your ends have trailing commas

you don't need them and the game doesn't like them either

[tepid rock]

last end?

[unborn bay]

also you're creating a variable outside of the calculate function here

don't do that

[tepid rock]

gotcha. so just move it down a line?

[unborn bay]

yeah

[daring fern]

G.jokers.config.card_limit - (#G.jokers.cards + G.GAME.joker_buffer)

[halcyon osprey]

like stick that in an if statement?

[daring fern]

Check if its greater than 0.

[manic rune]

nop

[tepid rock]

Issue now is unexpected error on line 116

[hardy viper]

missing a couple ends there

[tepid rock]

Could you ellaborate where (I am new to this)

[unborn bay]

you're missing an end for the if statement check

[hardy viper]

blue = needs an end red = ends

they're imbalanced

[tepid rock]

would the blue be where the end needs to be or what part needs an end?

[unborn bay]

im pretty sure theres an end for the for loop and the statement within that for loop lmao

yes inline end statements exist

[hardy viper]

oh shoot

i missed two yeah

sry am on pgone

[unborn bay]

pgone

[tepid rock]

theres dotted lines cus im on vcs, should each line have an end basically?

[hardy viper]

no

only control flow statements need ends (if, for, while, repeat, function)

you need one for the if statement

[paper zealot]

Your formatting and indentation is wild. Try installing the Lua extension and running the auto-formatter with Shift+Alt+F

[tepid rock]

tried installing the lua extension, is not working and I do not have the knowledge to get it to work

[unborn bay]

vscode -> extension icon in side bar -> search -> lua -> install

it's that shrimple

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-as-that-clash-royale-hee-hee-hee-haw-gif-25054781

[tepid rock]

which is actually lua?

Idk if i missed one btw but its back

[daring fern]

Which IDE are you using.

[paper zealot]

Any of these three are good, though the top is recommended

[unborn bay]

grave mistake right here

you're using Visual Studio

not Visual Studio Code

two different programs

i fucking hate how microshaft named it like that its so confusing

like naming it atom 2 would probably be better

[dire palm]

Why does the created card have that infinite purple particle effect?

[hardy viper]

vsc = visual studio community
vsc = visual studio code

[unborn bay]

vsc that one geometery dasher level

[tepid rock]

Thank yall, I just downloaded what was needed for uni lmao. Bumping this too cus Idk wtf is happening

NVM, fixed it

Just need to figure out how to get my code to work

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[thin anchor]

schmornin'

[cursive sentinel]

i unlocked all before i knew about the debug mod to test out my jokers, but now my main profile is locked out of achievements, is there a way to undo it?

[daring fern]

https://balatro.shorty.systems/

[halcyon osprey]

how do i like make my deck start me with 1 extra hand slot and 1 extra joker slot?

[cursive sentinel]

which one is the save file?

[daring fern]

profile.jkr

[cursive sentinel]

thank you!!

[faint yacht]

Hand size, you mean?

[modern kindle]

I think you can just remove the materialize line and it'll not have the particles

[halcyon osprey]

yeah

[daring fern]

Put hand_size = 1, joker_slot = 1 in the config.

[placid star]

does anyone know if negative mult is at all possible with smods?

[cursive sentinel]

you mean getting into negatives?

or going under 1?

[modern kindle]

it technically is from a numerical standpoint, i have a card that give -5x mult on specific conditions

it doesnt really show up on the display (ie it doesnt say x chips x -number mult) but the chip score you have will be neg

[tepid rock]

issue again, sorry for being a pain ^^'

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local my_pos = nil
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i] == self then my_pos = i; break end
        end
        if context.setting_blind and not self.getting_sliced then
            if my_pos and G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1] and not self.getting_sliced and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].ability.eternal and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].getting_sliced then 
                local sliced_card = G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1]
                    sliced_card.getting_sliced = true
                    G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()

                    return true end }))
                end
            end
    end

it is meant to be destroying the joker on the left (like ceremonial dagger) then giving negative to the right but nothing is happening

on blind select

[cursive sentinel]

there are 2, in file 1 and file 2, is there a difference?

[daring fern]

Which profile number is your main profile?

[cursive sentinel]

ahh so this are the saves

ok so i use the file 1's

[runic pecan]

Is it possible that SMODS.blueprint_effect returns nil?

[daring fern]

Is it possible to change the message when returning dollars?

[runic pecan]

Would this be an issue in my code that needs to solve, or do I just need to slap an or {} at the end of it?

[runic pecan]

Just message = in the returned braket.

[daring fern]

This shows $3 and Gold!!!

[halcyon osprey]

is there a way to make a card not retrigger

[daring fern]

You mean unable to be retriggered?

[halcyon osprey]

My Board cards are all card that can be Played or Held, and if i have a seltzer they can be retriggered, A couple of them, i dont want retriggered because they summon a strong joker

[dire palm]

Is it possible to have my Joker give Xmult when it's debuffed? I thought that would do the trick but it just does nothing.

[daring fern]

Try putting if not context.repetition

[daring fern]

You would have to hook calculate_joker

[dire palm]

Never hooked anything before. How do I do it?

[zealous glen]

local foo_ref = foo
function foo()
   foo_ref()
end

[daring fern]

local oldcalcjoker = Card.calculate_joker
function Card:calculate_joker(context)
    if self.debuff and self.config.center.key == 'j_prefix_key' then
        --- do things
    end
    return oldcalcjoker(self, context)
end

[dire palm]

Do I put this inside my Joker or before?

[daring fern]

You put it outside of everything.

[stark geode]

Me after opening the Lua docs

[keen tiger]

Has anyone tried to load a native lib in a balatro mod?

[tepid rock]

bump

[keen tiger]

I think my current socket-based system is way too complex and hosting an ipc interface would be easier, but that needs a native lib to hook into

Did a cursory glance w/a search and asked claude and it seems possible

[zealous glen]

I think SMODS might do it

[red flower]

i didnt end up using it but i did try out some libraries once, i just copied the way smods does it

[keen tiger]

got it

also this might make this mod better to use for more stuff

[modern kindle]

does anyone know the key for hanged man off the top of their head before i start diggin

im assuming its c_hanged_man but im not certain, i suppose just testing it will verify that

it sure was

card

so replace all self with card and it should work or is there more?

[placid star]

urm negatives, i want jokers thatll send your mult into the negatives but give a huge xmult boost smth like -x8 mult then tarots that can send it back to positive

[runic pecan]

How to set a minimum value for joker name font size?

[daring fern]

Heighten.

[runic pecan]

With SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') being true, how do I access this Steel card's held-in-hand Xmult?
I originally thought it'd be context.other_card.ability.config.h_x_mult but the game crashed and said config is nil.

[daring fern]

config is located at the card not the card.ability

[runic pecan]

So context.other_card.config.h_x_mult instead?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[runic pecan]

So not context.other_card.config.h_x_mult, then.

[wintry solar]

Add dollar_message = “blablabla” to the return

[runic pecan]

What if it's context.other_card.config.center.h_x_mult?
I'm gonna try that.

[runic pecan]

Nope. Not that, either.

[tepid rock]

last bump before i give my brain a rest lmao

[glad osprey]

is it possible to lock buying a certain booster pack until a condition is met?

like make it impossible to purchase (it can still show up tho) until you do something

[runic pecan]

Find the code that handles can_use for consumeables, and then write your own can_purchase implementation.

[runic pecan]

bump

[dire palm]

I don't manage to make things work. I think the if self.debuff then return nil end of the base game might be overwriting anything I try. 🤔

[daring fern]

Show your code.

[dire palm]

Currently, I have this.

[daring fern]

What happens?

[runic pecan]

Maybe local effect = oldcalcjoker(self, context) and then if ... then --- do things?

[dire palm]

Litterally nothing.

[daring fern]

No, then it would return nil if its debuffed.

It has to go last.

[daring fern]

When the joker is debuffed?

[dire palm]

I'm doing tests by going against Crimson Heart.

[glad osprey]

yayyyyyyyyyyyy

[runic pecan]

It worked?

[daring fern]

Put some print statements in there.

[glad osprey]

no im just very excited about doing that

definitaly

[dire palm]

It doesn't go in joker_main, visibly.

[wintry solar]

Debuffed cards would never hit calc joker

They get handled in eval_card

[dire palm]

So, should I just replace the joker_main context to eval_card?

[tropic sparrow]

I'm making a joker that gives one of these effects. how do I code multiple possibilities and then randomize which one is picked? (equal odds of course)
I imagine I need to make a separate list of variables then use psuedorandom. but if someone knows of a mod/joker in a mod that does something similar I would accept that too.
I do have the smods wiki open trying to gather as much information as possible before asking but I figure something simple like this could be explained quicker

[hushed field]

yeah, just a pseudorandom and then some if-statements should take care of that

[runic pecan]

You'll need pseudorandom_element

[keen tiger]

Sorry for the random ping, turns out there is a library that does the native hooking that I need, but it needs LuaJIT2. How would that work w/smods?

I'm not fully sure what Balatro's lua runtime is

Or what it supports (this lua library is some native lib bindings)

Ok so Balatro does use LuaJIT2, so maybe it will werk

[runic pecan]

bump

[runic pecan]

Nvm, solved it.

[paper zealot]

#💻・modding-dev message

[dire palm]

So, since nothing I've tried so far is working, anyone got any idea how I can have my Joker give Xmult when it's debuffed?

[ruby delta]

@glass scaffold how are you

[limber blaze]

context.other_card.ability.h_x_mult

[glass scaffold]

Debuffing disables every ability on a Joker, so I don't even know if you can....

[ruby delta]

Needed a small help again 😭

[old bane]

i know you can have an effect at the moment it becomes debuffed but i don't think you can have it specifically have an effect while it's debuffed

unless you do some lovely shenanigans

[high sinew]

Whats the best way for having a joker not show up in shop? I want them to be in theory an upgraded version of a previous joker so its upgraded versions wouldnt be showing up in shop

[shut crater]

Try looking at how gros michel/cavendish does it

[high sinew]

ok bet

Also my Xmult isnt really working on my ghost pepper joker its crashing everytime saying round _reserve isnt working does this look right?

[wintry solar]

What on earth is round_reserve

[zealous glen]

Idk

[keen tiger]

nvm i figured it out

[zealous glen]

I saw some post about how to make Balatro use LuaJIT2

[keen tiger]

its annoying and fiddly but you can put a .dll into the common folder like lovely

[zealous glen]

Yeah it was something like that

[keen tiger]

and then import the dll

annyoing but ehhhh

[tranquil vector]

Is there a way to obtain the sprite of last acquired(or bought) joker? I have this to get the name of the joker but I cant seem to get the sprite, I tried something using G.ASSET_ATLAS["Joker"] but failed miserably

    local original_buy_from_shop = G.FUNCS.buy_from_shop
    G.FUNCS.buy_from_shop = function(e)
        original_buy_from_shop(e)

        local c1 = e.config.ref_table
        if c1 and c1.ability and c1.ability.set == 'Joker' then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.1,
                func = function()
                    last_joker_name = c1.ability.name or "Unknown Joker"
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end

[zealous glen]

What do you want it for?

[tranquil vector]

I would like a sprite copy of the joker to display elsewhere for my vision impairment making it hard to look at the top of the screen

[south lintel]

this crashes with attempt to index field 'other_card' (a nil value). how do I properly reference and change the played cards? I thought this was correct

[wintry solar]

You can’t use other card inside events

You’ll need to save a local reference to it

[south lintel]

that worked, thank you

nvm, now it crashed attempting to call method juice_up which is nil

and it's not the juice_up I have in my code since I removed it and it still crashes

[zealous glen]

I think you can just create a copy of the card

@frosty dock has also made an accessibility support mod IIRC

[wintry solar]

Remove card = self

[south lintel]

thank you again, it works now

[tranquil vector]

I already tried but couldn't get it to work really but I will try again. Thanks for taking the time to reply

[zealous glen]

You can repurpose the vanilla copy_card to copy the exact card, I believe

[shrewd cobalt]

Can a joker use the tag_add context to detect if a tag was added?

[glad osprey]

why not red

[faint yacht]

Hook the function and call a unique context from it, if anything.

[glad osprey]

why is she a credit card

nvrm

[tall wharf]

your a is uppercase 😭

[glad osprey]

yep

[tall wharf]

is that Saturday Tasogare

[glad osprey]

yes

[native star]

maybe the real Allison was the money we lost along the way

[shrewd cobalt]

Ahhh I see, thank you!

[formal parrot]

Based

[grand sage]

my seal is appearing as xnil mult instead of 1.5mult does anyone know why?

[errant karma]

ok so i found a way to move the card to the left but it does this to the multiplayer cards and cryptid cards:
how do i fix this?

[daring fern]

Change #4# to #1#

[grand sage]

Thanks

[sturdy monolith]

how can i replicate wild card but for ranks

[high sinew]

anyone knwo why the Xmult isnt working here?

[daring fern]

You have to patch/take ownership of every joker that uses a specific rank

[sturdy monolith]

welp. Imma just make it imitate an ace and call it even

[sly marten]

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but I can't seem to find an answer myself

Where can I find all the base game Joker functions in order to reference them for creating modded Jokers?

[sturdy monolith]

card.lua

[grand sage]

Excuse me i was wondering how i would make a seal increase the amount of $ the card gives by 1 when scored and then destroy the card at 10$

[terse marsh]

Hey ik this is prolly a dumb question but im working on a joker that works similar to wee joker how would i display the current amount of chips held in the text box

[sturdy monolith]

in loc_vars:

return {
    vars = {
        self.config.extra.chips
    }
}

in your localization text, use #1# wherever you want to have the chips indicator

[terse marsh]

awesome i appreciate it 🙏

[spare furnace]

when does loc_vars run? just so i know (late reply because i was asleep for the night lol)
also sorry i meant a joker that changes one of its own vars at the visual end of scoring a hand, not a regular playing card

other question, how can i multiply the finalized score of a hand
(e.g. if i score 20 chips after jokers finish scoring, i multiply the final score by 2 and now that hand instead earned 40 chips)

[terse marsh]

also another thing how do i create a script to just spawn that joker in when i start a run

[tall wharf]

i think you'll have to check for context of final scoring step

hold on i might be stupid

maybe context.after

I'm not sure anymore

Jk aiko don’t nuke me

[terse marsh]

in the context of playing diff cards how can i grab the suit

like check the suit

[graceful magnet]

got a crash and the offending line is the context.scoring_hand[context.other_card] <= card.ability.extra.cardCount, trouble is I'm not sure which is returning nil

[faint yacht]

Are you trying to count how many cards are in the scoring hand?

[sturdy monolith]

how do i display a shader for an enhancement instead of for an edition

or are shaders locked to editions

[graceful magnet]

sort of, I'm trying to check if the currently scoring card is in a hand position that's below the established cardCount

[faint yacht]

...I think you'd want to iterate over the context.scoring_hand to find what specific card is currently being evaluated first, then check? #context.scoring_hand would give you the total amount of scored cards.

got this error when attempting to use my spectral card to apply a seal

actually, better question, can i have something in a joker run at the beginning of each hand

[stark geode]

so i need to track how many colas are sold in a run

but im not sure how i should do it

[sturdy compass]

I'd say take over cola and make it iterate a global game variable that you define yourself

[stark geode]

thats what i was thinking

[faint yacht]

context.before to affect a given value of the card.

Odd question: Is there a way to make so balatro re-evaluates the hand type played?

[spare furnace]

i mean when the cards are initially drawn at the beginning of each hand

context.before is at the beginning of scoring

[bold sleet]

i.e. you have a card that when played, changes suit and or rank, and you want balatro to update the hand played accordingly.

[bold sleet]

not early enough, it seems.

[spare furnace]

yaya

[graceful magnet]

this is not detecting at all

[bold sleet]

mod prefix?

[graceful magnet]

that's the azzy

[bold sleet]

hmmm
