Also you don't use your prefix when defining the key.

[iron haven]

alpha it is then.

[runic pecan]

Is the second pic a thing or should I keep it as the first one?

[iron haven]

also what do I do for the current mult?

[runic pecan]

At least show how many mult it currently has in your description?

[daring fern]

Calculate effect does support functions.

[iron haven]

how do I do the code +3 mult or whatever

[sturdy compass]

It really sounds like you should learn some coding basics

[runic pecan]

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

[iron haven]

{X:mult,C:red} +#1# {} Mult?

[daring fern]

No, it would just be {C:mult}+#1#{} Mult

[iron haven]

oh

[scarlet spire]

{X:mult,C:white} is for the red border you see on xmult

{C:mult} is for regular mult

[unborn steeple]

well... I dunno, a couple reasons, I guess? I like to avoid, like, external dependencies whenever I can when I'm modding stuff, especially when the mod is for a game that I'm already struggling with and the dependency doesn't feel absolutely necessary because the process without the dependency seems fairly well-supported and/or easy and/or simple and/or functional, like it is with Balatro.

like, it seems to me that since all of my packs are working 100% fine as-is except for this specific one, like, based on prior experience, introducing a new dependency (sorry if I'm using that word wrong, also, because I might be) has a high likelihood to create more problems then it would solve. I've had a lot of experience with "let's use [X tool] to make [Y process] simpler" turning into "spending 5 additional hours troubleshooting [X tool]". adding a new dependency for this one minor thing feels like, from what I've experienced before, overkill with a high likelihood of backfiring and just making me more frustrated.

I'm also specifically nervous about learning a new Balatro tool because, in my experience, there are extremely limited online resources for learning and troubleshooting modding for this game. I've kinda been running in circles a bit in making these texture packs because, well, y'know how bad Google has been recently, and I'm finding it really hard to find good tutorials, templates, examples, etc etc etc. Like, someone mentioned earlier that my pack format was for an old version, but it's based on literally the only format template I could find online that had what I needed.

sorry for wall of text. I'm trying to be as clear as I can. thank you for being patient with me.

[scarlet spire]

in this case, mult is just the name of a color

[runic pecan]

    "Gains {C:mult}+#2#{} mult for played {C:attention}Aces{}.",
    "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:mult}+#1#{C:inactive} mult)"
}``````config = { extra = { mult = 0, mult_gain = 1 }},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {
        vars = {
            card.ability.extra.mult,
            card.ability.extra.mult_gain,
        }
    }
end,```

[iron haven]

ok now it isn't showing up in the game.

[daring fern]

Do you have the JSON?

[iron haven]

oh I didn't

[wintry solar]

Malverk is specifically designed to make managing multiple texture packs easier from both an end user and a mod dev perspective. You are currently just hard replacing the files the game uses, with no customisability after installing your mod. Malverk works by creating options for you to select between, meaning once your mod has been installed it never needs to be removed if you want to use other textures. It also allows much more advanced control if that’s something that you’re looking for. The syntax is designed to be reasonably simple, but there are plenty of people here who are familiar enough with it to help you out if you’re struggling.
I would really recommend its use for any texture packs.

[iron haven]

do you guys want the code to this?

the letterJokers code.

[icy oak]

how do i overwrite the stats of an existing planet card

[tepid rock]

    config = {extra = {Xmult = 0.5, face_cards_played = 0, odds = 1000, cass_rounds = 0, reset_rounds = 5}},
    rarity = 3,
    --sprite location
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 1, y = 0},        
    cost = 10,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { 1 + (card.ability.extra.face_cards_played * 0.5), (G.GAME.probabilities.normal), card.ability.extra.odds, card.ability.extra.cass_rounds, card.ability.extra.reset_rounds } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)    
    if (card.ability.extra.cass_rounds < card.ability.extra.reset) and context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and not context.repetition and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.cass_rounds = 1 + card.ability.extra.cass_rounds
        end
        if (card.ability.extra.cass_rounds >= card.ability.extra.reset) and context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and not context.repetition and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = 0
            card.ability.extra.cass_rounds = 0
        end
    end
``` meant to reset amount of face cards it has detected after 5 rounds (there is a lot more between calc and the if but it doesnt affect it)

[runic pecan]

Yeah

You would take_ownership of it.

[icy oak]

hmm

is it this

[daring fern]

Yes.

[south lintel]

this should be pinned in this channel ngl

[iron haven]

hmm

[icy oak]

what about uh, the planet

[runic pecan]

You need to put commas here, here, and here.

[icy oak]

whats the class for it

[zealous glen]

I think there's more up-to-date content that is pinned in the other channel

[daring fern]

SMODS.Consumable

[icy oak]

thx ill check

[south lintel]

I don't think we're talking about the same message but sure

[zealous glen]

I thought you were talking about the tutorial for how to make your first Joker

[iron haven]

I added the commas in.

[south lintel]

yeah no I was talking about the message I was replying to

[daring fern]

You need an = between loc_txt and {

[iron haven]

oh

[unborn steeple]

so... this is good, in theory, but I feel like this is kinda a "using a nailgun to put in a thumbtack" kind of situation, if that makes sense? like, I'm not really a programmer, and looking over the Malverk github page, it feels like a bit much to learn a bunch of new coding things just so that I can make my one malfunctioning texture pack out of four work properly.

like, I'm really grateful to everyone in here for offering Malverk as an option, and if I were in a different situation it would absolutely be helpful, but right now I'm not really looking for a full replacement engine so much as I'm just looking for a fix to this one issue I'm facing.

[iron haven]

is there a way to get my joker unlocked?

[unborn steeple]

again, though, thank you for the advice! I'm not trying to accuse you of being unhelpful or anything

[daring fern]

Put unlocked = true and discovered = true in your joker.

[iron haven]

where in there?

[zealous glen]

Yeah but that message is replying to another and linking a third…

[runic pecan]

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

[marble flint]

here's a relatively minimal Malverk example that you're free to reference or steal the structure of:
https://github.com/BakersDozenBagels/ShootTheLooksToTheMoon/blob/main/main.lua

[runic pecan]

@iron haven Also, while you're at it, take a read in this: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[iron haven]

does this work?

[daring fern]

No it needs to be outside of everything except SMODS.Joker

[runic pecan]

unlock and discovered are at the same level with atlas and config

[tepid rock]

bump

[unborn steeple]

that's very kind, but looking at this, I'm just, like, frankly, absolutely lost. part of the reason I'm using the format I'm using is because it's so simple, and this doesn't look anywhere near as simple to just pick up and go with., y'know?

[iron haven]

?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[marble flint]

I might make a video tutorial on Malverk because it's not that hard, just a tad finicky. if you give me <unspecified time range>, that is

[iron haven]

uhhh

I think I didn't save it?

[runic pecan]

You were using card.ability.extra.reset in your if condition while it should've been card.ability.extra.reset_rounds.

[tepid rock]

thank you TwT

[unborn steeple]

that would be very helpful! if possible, could you also do it in the form of text and images? I find step-by-step tutorials much easier to follow if they're in textual format rather than video format, as long as there are example images attached

[iron haven]

I'm looking for my joker.

[unborn steeple]

in the meantime, could I get help with my weird little outdated non-Malverk pack format? I don't even necessarily need someone to fix it, I just want to understand why it isn't working/where to start with fixing it

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

[marble flint]

oh sure, that's less effort for me

or well not more effort

[daring fern]

hi, quick question about how tags are executed, basically got a joker that creates random tags on skip, although it seems that all tags that should apply dont apply immediatly and instead are delayed either on next shop, or on next post shop phase

``` it isnt increasing the round number nor resetting nor sending a message

[rose dragon]

better than triboulet?

its like trib mixed with cavendish and campfire* so good but not better

ive got a syntax error i cant seem to find for the life of me

This is the first joker ive written, and i followed the smod examples but i cant figure out where this error is coming from.

does anyone know where that dastardly comma is missing from? if thats even the issue

[daring fern]

What is line 23?

[proud moon]

loc_txt = {

[daring fern]

Your calculate function and ifs dont have ends

[iron haven]

instead of Xmult_Mod, what do I do instead?

[proud moon]

lol thank you, i forgot those are needed in lua

[iron haven]

this is from the video.

[daring fern]

It's also chip_mod not chips_mod

[daring fern]

Use mult

[proud moon]

noted. Do you know where i can find the documentation for different kinds of something_mod so i dont have ask people lol?

[iron haven]

`SMODS.Atlas{

` so this is correct?

[daring fern]

The source code.

[proud moon]

oh ok

[daring fern]

No, it should just be mult not mult_mod

[iron haven]

what line?

line 40?

[daring fern]

Line after card = card,

[iron haven]

that's line 40.

mult = card.ability.extra.mult,

[daring fern]

Yes.

[iron haven]

do I need the message part?

like do I have to add it?

[tepid rock]

bump

[iron haven]

or no?

[daring fern]

No.

[iron haven]

ok

[proud moon]

After adding this i still get the same error

[iron haven]

oh

[daring fern]

You need to return {} not ()

[iron haven]

yeah I know

[proud moon]

I FOUND IT

[icy oak]

is there a reference guide for what the key for each object is

[proud moon]

lol thank you for the help guys

[daring fern]

Like base game objects?

[icy oak]

yes

[daring fern]

game.lua in the source code.

[iron haven]

and it doesn't gain mult

[icy oak]

okay

[slate bison]

bro idk what this is i tried to change it so much

anyone know why is it giving this error from the source code of the game?

[daring fern]

Try changing tarot to Tarot

[iron haven]

@daring fern update(self, card, dt)?

or?

[slate bison]

oh shit u are a genius

😭

[daring fern]

Update runs every frame?

[iron haven]

I want it to update if you play an ace. increase mult

[daring fern]

You need to use calculate for that.

[hard needle]

idk whats going on exactly but i think you use a calculate function

yeah

[hard needle]

i dont think you're checking if the card is an ace

[iron haven]

how do I?

[hard needle]

you have to check if its rank is 14

[iron haven]

oh

[tepid rock]

if context.other_card:get_id() == 14 then

intead of joker main

[hard needle]

yk someone should make steamodded intellisense

i need autocomplete smh

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 14 then
    return {
        mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
        card = card
    }
end

[iron haven]

does .Aces work

[runic pecan]

I recommend you do this instead

[iron haven]

so.

[daring fern]

Remove the joker_main one.

[iron haven]

ok

now nothing else?

[daring fern]

Does it work?

[runic pecan]

Put into text in case you wanna copy-pastecalculate = function(self, card, context) if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then if card.ability.extra.cass_rounds < card.ability.extra.reset_rounds then card.ability.extra.cass_rounds = 1 + card.ability.extra.cass_rounds return { message = 'Track '..card.ability.extra.cass_rounds..'!' } else card.ability.extra.face_cards_played = 0 card.ability.extra.cass_rounds = 0 return { message = 'Reset!' } end end end

[iron haven]

nvm i fixed it

wtf?

[daring fern]

Thats normal.

[rapid stag]

i can't hook Game:start_run without the game exploding?

[tepid rock]

Still not working but I am an idiot so I be able to fix the rest of it (i have another function that is doing something at the end of the round too

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do?

[iron haven]

is the two other errors normal?

[tepid rock]

thank you regardless

[daring fern]

All three of those errors are normal.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[iron haven]

so those five are normal?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[iron haven]

ok

[tepid rock]

to add to this, I have changed end_of_round to setting_blind and it still wont work (otherwise it is the exact same as that)

[rapid stag]

yes.

the problem is that it's imploding at the :prep_stage() call when i call the old func

[proud moon]

OH i was still having the same issue then i realized i was editing a coppied file. so none of the changes were actually doing anything lol

[runic pecan]

Have you taken a look in this page? https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[iron haven]

two errors.
one (it didn't update): I played 2 aces
two (logic error): not playing aces should also trigger A.

[tepid rock]

yeah, is there a specific part?

[daring fern]

Show your code.

[runic pecan]

yes

oh upgrade is ok

[runic pecan]

I didn't find anything out of ordinary in this code.
Did it crash the game or did it fail to do what it suppose to do?

[iron haven]

@daring fern

[daring fern]

What is line 36?

[tepid rock]

failure to do what it is meant to do

[runic pecan]

Instead of message = '+1' you need to return {message = '+1'}

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 14 then

[tepid rock]

was a problem with my keyboard's s key lmao

[daring fern]

Why did you remove the calculate function?

[rapid stag]

bump am i calling start_run() wrong

[south lintel]

this is weird, my joker seems to be able to appear in the shop while I already have it even without a showman. How do I fix this?

[daring fern]

Did you use DebugPlus to get that?

[south lintel]

oh I did

that's what causes it?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[scarlet spire]

debugplus spawning doesn't remove stuff from the pool, yeah

[south lintel]

alright, thanks

[iron haven]

@daring fern lol

it upgrades the ace and not the joker.

[daring fern]

Put card = card in the return with the message.

[runic pecan]

Then return { message = 'Upgrade!', card = card, } instead

[iron haven]

hold on

there

it still upgraded the joker.

[iron haven]

it does the message 5 times then the mult shows and adds

oh nvm

[cursive sentinel]

hi how could i force tag evaluation?

[iron haven]

@daring fern how do i duplicate playing cards?

[daring fern]

This is what 'Cryptid' spectral does: ```lua
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
local _first_dissolve = nil
local new_cards = {}
for i = 1, self.ability.extra do
G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
local _card = copy_card(G.hand.highlighted[1], nil, nil, G.playing_card)
_card:add_to_deck()
G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
G.hand:emplace(_card)
_card:start_materialize(nil, _first_dissolve)
_first_dissolve = true
new_cards[#new_cards+1] = _card
end
playing_card_joker_effects(new_cards)
return true
end
}))

[runic pecan]

Hmmm... @tall wharf

[iron haven]

in the debug thing.

[daring fern]

CTRL + C

While hovering over the card.

[iron haven]

oh god

[runic pecan]

Please also show them your alphabet joker collection, would you?

[iron haven]

I regret this.

[iron haven]

?

how do I delete a playing card?

[maiden phoenix]

If you have DebugPlus you can press r on it

[iron haven]

pressing r does nothing.

ctrl+r

[daring fern]

CTRL + R

[proud moon]

i have just successfully added my first joker to my first mod and gave it compatibility with jokerdisplay, i just thought id share lol

[iron haven]

don't mind me

[olive shoal]

for a hand of 45 cards your hand seems rather small

all huddled up together

[iron haven]

🙂

[gusty iron]

how would i check if a players hand has only 4 cards, and has 1 of every suit?

[tepid rock]

Is there a guide for blueprint capabilities?

[gentle rain]

reference flower pot and square joker

[gusty iron]

would this work??

also yes i code in notepad

[gentle rain]

you define where you wane blueprint not to trigger. you just put "if not context.blueprint" in the contexts of the abilities that you do not want copied, such as a scaling ability (this joker gains x), and you don't change anything for the contexts you do want, as blueprint copies all abilities by default

[tepid rock]

whys it sayin blueprint isnt compatible? (also, is brainstorm the same?

[gentle rain]

that's purely a cosmetic thing. i dont remember the exact value but you need to put "blueprint = true" somewhere in the start of your joker

[gusty iron]

how would i check the played hand, and not the scoring hand?

is it just context.full_hand?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gusty iron]

okay so my joker is just

done

had to go to roblox to debug my bracket usage but like

it works

jippie

[hard needle]

isn't this just flower pot

[gusty iron]

oh

i wasnt aware of flower pot

[manic rune]

is that times new roman??

[gusty iron]

but tbf im just making htese mainly for my friends so like

[gusty iron]

yeah

[manic rune]

😭

-# why

[hard needle]

I'm horrified

Vscode is free bro

[manic rune]

it should be {C:mult}, not {X:mult,C:white} for consistency

the coloring you are using is for XMult

you should probably shorten it too

[gusty iron]

so this?

"If your hand contains exactly 1 card of each suit, {C:mult}+#1#{} Mult"

[manic rune]

you can remove "your"

[gusty iron]

mehhh

it feels wrong

might just be me though

[hard needle]

copy this :trol:

[daring fern]

How does one draw a shader on a seal?

[gusty iron]

okay wait no

its just me

Okay so i legit just made nerfed flower pot okay 😭

[manic rune]

the descriptions in balatro never have "your" in it, in case you havent noticed yet :p

its just stuff like "Held in hand", not "Held in your hand" for instance

or you could do something like

+10 Mult if exactly 1 card of each suit is held in hand

which should be pretty accurate to Blackboard's wording imo

[gusty iron]

I need to know how to do these things:

• Generate a random suit each round

• Add chips when said suit is scored

[zealous glen]

Doesn’t it say “your deck”?

[manic rune]

🤔

it does?

[zealous glen]

I remember talking about “your graveyard” and there was a counterexample

[manic rune]

welp, my point has been made invalidated, im gonna off myself from this conversation :3

[manic rune]

-# bruh

[hard needle]

xD

[manic rune]

in my defense, balatro's wording is inconsistent as hell

[zealous glen]

Tell me about it

[daring fern]

There are exactly 9 jokers with your

[zealous glen]

↗️

[manic rune]

😭

[gusty iron]

bump

[manic rune]

for the second part, you got :is_suit("Hearts")

idk about the first one though, theres definitely a function to create a playing card but i havent used it before

so i cant remember it :p

[daring fern]

3 jokers have you

[zealous glen]

create_playing_card

[manic rune]

riiiiight :3

is it the one that uses smt like, 3_H or smt?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[gusty iron]

does math.random work here

[manic rune]

dont use math.random

[gusty iron]

what do i use then

[manic rune]

use pseudorandom_element instead for consistency

[gusty iron]

suits = {
"Heart",
"Spade",
"Diamond",
"Club"
}
suit = suits[math.random(1,4)]

so what would i do here?

[manic rune]

it chooses a random value from a table:

local randomSuit = pseudorandom_element(suits,pseudoseed("your unique seed here"))

but you probably want to change allat to H,S,D,C instead

[gusty iron]

so just

pseudorandom_element(suits)?

[zealous glen]

I’d recommend using the list of suits

[hushed field]

no, you also wanna include the pseudoseed

[zealous glen]

So it can work with modded suits

[manic rune]

how do modded suits work with create_playing_card, actually

[zealous glen]

You can also pass no arguments AFAIK

[manic rune]

3_(?)

[zealous glen]

And it automatically creates a card with a random rank and suit

[gusty iron]

wait so how would i get the list of all suits

so how would i get the suit of the most recently scored card

do i just like

do a for loop

[daring fern]

Escalate.

[tepid rock]

Tried to slice, crashed instead

[gusty iron]

config = { extra = { chips = 0, chip_gain = 2, suit = pseudorandom_element(suits, pseudoseed('albuquerque')) } },

i feel kinds stupid but why does this not work??

[daring fern]

Your checking that there is no edition and then your checking if its negative.

[tepid rock]

gotcha, if G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1].edition.key == 'e_negative' then so do this?

[daring fern]

You change it to if not G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1].edition or (G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1].edition and G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1].edition.key ~= 'e_negative')

[tepid rock]

thank you

[gusty iron]

could someone help with this?

[daring fern]

What is not working?

[gusty iron]

its something in the misc_functions thats breaking

lemme get the error

[wintry solar]

Have you defined suits?

[gusty iron]

yeah

suits = {
"Heart",
"Spade",
"Diamond",
"Club"
},

heres the error

[daring fern]

You need ss on those.

[wintry solar]

Oh you can’t do that in the config

[gusty iron]

theyre for the desc, i concatenate with "s" when i check the suit

so can i do something like this outside of config
gensuit = pseudorandom_element(suits, pseudoseed('albuquerque'))
then set suit to gensuit in config?

[wintry solar]

No

You just set card.ability.extra.suit = pseudorandom…. in the set_ability function

[gusty iron]

okay i got it to work by modifiying some code i found

[maiden phoenix]

Oh reverse castle, kinda silly

[tepid rock]

It aint working nor showing the details (I thought this would be an easy one 😭 )

[ripe widget]

Okay thanks a lot man

[brazen vigil]

oh shit this is the wrong channel

sorry mods

😦

[runic pecan]

Imma post this here for no reason elaborated.

[runic pecan]

What variable name do I call this string? localize('c_planet_x').name?

[tepid rock]

ping me if someone can figure this out

[tall wharf]

what are you trying to do

😭

[tepid rock]

give 100 chips if 5 cards are played (like the psychic boss blind) and a 1 in 1000 chance for $1

[tall wharf]

so like

if (context.cardarea == G.play and #context.cardarea.cards == 5) then
    if pseudorandom("twitchandytgaming") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
        return { dollar = card.ability.extra.money, 
        chips = card.ability.extra.chips
}
    else
        return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips }
    end
end

[daring fern]

How does one make a seal only show when the card is facing down?

[runic pecan]

Forgot to ask earlier, do I need to return true in func or would SMODS handle it for me?

[tall wharf]

no iirc

[tall wharf]

drawstep condition back i think

[tepid rock]

thank you!

[tepid rock]

question: is there a way to just have it add chips to the end rather than per card?

[tall wharf]

context.joker_main

and just remove the card area lol

[tepid rock]

thank you

[runic pecan]

What is the variable name if I want to info_queue[#info_queue+1]= this?

[daring fern]

How could one check that a joker hasn't triggered on the current hand?

[runic pecan]

Is the joker itself detecting or you need to detect other jokers?

[daring fern]

It needs to check itself.

[tepid rock]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips,G.GAME.probabilities.normal, card.ability.extra.odds, card.ability.extra.money } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

            if pseudorandom("streamingService") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
                return { dollar = card.ability.extra.money, 
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips

            end
        end
        
    end
``` i feel like i did smth wrong

wait, i might see it

[tall wharf]

change this to #G.play.cards

== 5

[runic pecan]

has_scored = false in your config.extra
card.ability.extra.has_scored = true right before returning scoring table,
card.ability.extra.has_scored = false when you want to reset it.

[stark geode]

where code for planet cards

[tepid rock]

thank you

[daring fern]

What I meant was I have some seals that do things on untriggered jokers.

[runic pecan]

Would you elaborate more?

[tepid rock]

tho it isnt giving money at all

made odds 1 in 1

[daring fern]

I am trying to put the green seal from cryptid on a joker and I need to know if it has triggered or not.

[runic pecan]

You might need to use patches, that's the most I know.

[cursive sentinel]

tried to fix this the best i can but, upon creating immediate effect tags, some are triggered and other are triggered on next post-shop phase. Tried fixing it and the only other outcome with them functionally working was them spawning all at the exact same time, i don't know if there is a way to have them visually spawn delayed (this all is in calculate)

if context.skip_blind and not G.FORCE_TAG then
            local _pool, _pool_key = get_current_pool('Tag', nil, nil, nil)
            local _tag_name = pseudorandom_element(_pool, pseudoseed(_pool_key))
            local it = 1
            while _tag_name == 'UNAVAILABLE' or _tag_name == "tag_double" or _tag_name == "tag_orbital" do
                it = it + 1
                _tag_name = pseudorandom_element(_pool, pseudoseed(_pool_key .. '_resample' .. it))
            end
            G.GAME.round_resets.blind_tags = G.GAME.round_resets.blind_tags or {}
            
            local _tag = Tag(_tag_name, nil, G.GAME.blind)
            add_tag(_tag)

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.2,
                func = function()
                    play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                    play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)

chat is it time for a lovely patch

[stark geode]

yeah im looking at that and it doesnt explain how the use thing works

[primal robin]

No, this means it's time for a bad selector

[daring fern]

All I had to do was this.

[stark geode]

v_reroll_glut?

[manic rune]

wait

[runic pecan]

That... is slightly similar to what I suggested earlier.

[manic rune]

nvm

[stark geode]

wait k_reroll

[primal robin]

It's localization key

[runic pecan]

You might wanna add some prefix to scored just in case.

[primal robin]

I need id to select button with get_UIE_by_ID

[stark geode]

ah

[stark geode]

.

[runic pecan]

The use function does things when you, uh, use the card.

[primal robin]

Because I dicide to use buttons instead of just their functions, for better compatibility and events simulation

[stark geode]

right but what do i return to make i level up a specific hand

caluclate only has things for played hande

[primal robin]

Card usage

I have 150 lines dedicated to card usage only

[runic pecan]

This one?

[runic pecan]

And then replace self.ability.consumeable.hand_type to the name of the hand you want to level up, like "Two Pair" or "Full House".

[stark geode]

thank you

[tepid rock]

does seals in everything work on mods that have not coded compatibility with it?

[daring fern]

No.

[tepid rock]

Is it easy to make compatible?

[daring fern]

I have to manually code each seal.

[daring fern]

Often yes.

[tepid rock]

good to know cus the idea is really cool (havent tried it yet cus I'm a bit slow at downloading mods ^^')

[runic pecan]

bump

[tepid rock]

speaking of which, is there a guide for making a mod compatible?

[daring fern]

With what?

[tepid rock]

Like if i wanted to add SOE compatibility to my jokers, is there a way I could do that (similar to how you can with card sleeves)

[daring fern]

Seals that are on jokers work with all jokers.

I only have to do the seals.

[tepid rock]

gotcha, and thats a you side and not something someone else could code?

like if i had a seal, i couldnt make it compatible?

[daring fern]

You could if you wanted to.

[tepid rock]

Cool, thank you

[daring fern]

You would just have to hook Card:calculate_seal like I do and check next(SMODS.find_mod('SealsOnEverything'))

also card sleeves has a unique context to convert cards, look at checkered sleeves code

Hey chat, any suggestions on how to get into Balatro mod dev?

I've got some ideas cooking in my brain I want to try implementing

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[dense jewel]

Ah, didn't notice that, thank you so much ❤️

[short mountain]

I can't edit the jkr file it just says complete action with files, and I need to do it in zarchiver

[daring fern]

What are you using to edit it?

[short mountain]

I mean the settings.jkr file

https://balatro.shorty.systems/

That

Please help

[daring fern]

What's happening when you select the file?

[short mountain]

What do you mean

What I'm saying is

I click choose file

And it says

"Choose an action"

Files, photo and camera
But I need to do it with zarchiver cuz that's where the file is

[daring fern]

What browser are you using?

[short mountain]

Chrome

[wary skiff]

Is this a feature of a higher stake?

[daring fern]

No this was a mod I added compatibilty with my mod.

[wary skiff]

Ah

[daring fern]

Are you clicking Browse...?

[short mountain]

I figured it out but wha5 does this mean

[short mountain]

?

[daring fern]

My mistake it looks different on different browsers.

[short mountain]

What do I do now

[wary skiff]

How is the debuff seal integrated into the game then, if I may ask?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[daring fern]

Why is it called settings (1).jkr?

[short mountain]

Idk cuz it's from my drive
Only way I can insert the file

[wary skiff]

Is it naturally appearing in the shop, is there a Spectral card that attaches it, etc?

[daring fern]

I'm not sure.

[wary skiff]

I see

[short mountain]

What do I do now

[wary skiff]

Seems like it'd be an interesting addition to normal card packs in a modded higher stake

[daring fern]

Why are you editing your settings save?

[short mountain]

Cause I wanna idk

I wanna see what I can do to my game

I'm pretty sure that stuff is in the settings file or am I like dumb as shit

[daring fern]

settings.jkr is not your save.

[short mountain]

Well where can I edit my save

[daring fern]

It's in the 1 or 2 or 3 folders save.jkr

[short mountain]

I don't have a save.jkr

[next timber]

that means you dont have an ongoing run on that save currently

[short mountain]

Oh

Thanos

Thanks

[next timber]

thanos

[wary skiff]

Building around Kings of Hearts and you find a polychrome one in a booster pack with that seal, having to think about whether you take it or not

[short mountain]

Im a legend thanos

So

It isn't working

[next timber]

how do i modify the list of palettes for the default skin of a custom suit? i need to add options other than low and high contrast

[wary skiff]

Did you try profile.jkr?

[short mountain]

No. No I did not.

Haha lmao

[stark geode]

how do i keep the game from restting my globlas on lanch

[daring fern]

Put it in G.GAME

[glad osprey]

y dis no work :(

[stark geode]

How do I add globals to that

[glad osprey]

G.GAME._____ = wthcr

[glad osprey]

third joker is the copier

[runic pecan]

The ret is mostly nil unless the joker you're copying does something.

[glad osprey]

..the joekr it was copying does do something

[wintry solar]

Swap the cards around

[glad osprey]

so bpcard = card and vice versa?

[wintry solar]

Yeah in the blueprint effect call they’re in the wrong order

[runic pecan]

Also, wrap print inside if ret then ... end to avoid nil spamming.

[wintry solar]

You don’t need to wrap that

[glad osprey]

works now ty eremel

mostly its kinda weird with some jokers

trying it with a retrigger and it only retriggers once instead of three times

[next timber]

how do i give a modded suit more palettes? for deckskins you can just add more alongside the lc and hc palettes but that doesnt seem to be an option for the default palette of a modded suit

[runic pecan]

How do I add a sticker desc to info_queue?

[glad osprey]

actually it doesnt even retrigger it just shows the again message

[glad osprey]

gotta make a custom localization def iirc

[wintry solar]

Oh try returning ret instead

That might be scuffed too though

[glad osprey]

works fine now lol

ty

[stark geode]

wthcr?

[glad osprey]

whatever the value is

G.GAME is just another table

[short mountain]

I have like a million mods downloaded, I cant delete them or disable them

I've got no clue why they keep appearing

I wanna play normal balatro

But they won't leave me alone

[red flower]

#📜・modding-rules rule 4

[glad osprey]

com.unofficial.balatro

[short mountain]

Oh sorry

[zealous glen]

What to name these tags:

When you buy a consumable, get a copy
(Must have room)
and
Next shop, when you buy a card, get another card of the same type
(Must have room)

[glad osprey]

Combo Tag and Hallucination tag

[stark geode]

im gussing i need to initalise it when a new agame is started, how do i do that

[red flower]

Rebate Tag and Liquidation Tag

[zealous glen]

I don't think Hallucination fits since it doesn't work with the Hallucination Joker

[glad osprey]

not necessary i think

just aslong as you dont have G.GAME.tablea.value

[stark geode]

it crashes when i just put it in my joker file

[zealous glen]

Hmmm, Liquidation is better than what I had in mind (Sale)

[glad osprey]

hmmm

[glad osprey]

i was thinking based on the digital hallucinations joker from cryptid

[zealous glen]

🤔

Bogo Tag?

[glad osprey]

ah i see

[glad osprey]

that is because game does not exist at that point

you need to wait for the player to be in a game so yea it would have to be in some func

probably just hook whtv function is responsible for starting a new run

[zealous glen]

SMODS provides a function for these kinds of effects

or you can hook the vanilla one

[stark geode]

?

[zealous glen]

see Castle https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[stark geode]

hooking is exactly what it does

[zealous glen]

It also provides reset_game_globals

[stark geode]

i dont need to do that

[zealous glen]

I think you could just use reset_game_globals and not even hook

[zealous glen]

Because you can create the variable at run start

[red flower]

i think the hook is to get the variable in the collection but that could probably be done with a nil check

[stark geode]

wdm

somthing like this?

[zealous glen]

I thought collection was usually handled by checking where the Joker was

[hard needle]

is it G.C.Suits["Club"] or G.C.Suits["Clubs"]?

[red flower]

idk im not really following the conversation, just saw the point about reset_game_globals

[red flower]

i mean this

[stark geode]

it worked

[zealous glen]

I guess I still don't understand it

[red flower]

i prefer resetting variables per-card so im not really affected by this lol

[hard needle]

bump

[runic pecan]

Which variable do I need to determine whether the player unlocked Planet X or not?

[zealous glen]

Twin Headed Behemoth's SOPG

[zealous glen]

Planet X or just played 5OAK?

[runic pecan]

Unlocking the planet card (or not) in the profile.

[zealous glen]

Idk then

I think centers have unlock condition status

[runic pecan]

But the question is: where?

[zealous glen]

try directly on the center

[zealous glen]

What about these?

[glad osprey]

same tags?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[hard needle]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {
            center.ability.extra.xmult, center.ability.extra.perhand, center.ability.extra.perclub, localize("Clubs", 'suits_singular'),
            colours = {G.C.SUITS["Clubs"]}
        }
    end

is colours deprecated? im following https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[glad osprey]

first one works, second one kinda could be better but idk how it just doesnt convey what it does very well

[scarlet spire]

yellow tags are always money related, I wouldn't use yellow for a non-econ tag

[zealous glen]

It's technically econ

[scarlet spire]

getting another card of the same type?

[zealous glen]

It's part of the "Buy One, Get One" theme and a reference to the Humbleing Bundle Joker (referencing BOI)

[zealous glen]

yeah

you can sell them

[scarlet spire]

I mean its econ in the same way getting free jokers is econ

[glad osprey]

technically rare and uncommon and top up tags are also econ then

[zealous glen]

Yes

[hard needle]

bump

[scarlet spire]

....and my point is that those aren't yellow, tags that are fully yellow like that are always the ones that give actual sums of money when they trigger

[glad osprey]

maybe use the silver from buffoon tags

but the first one is perfect

[zealous glen]

?

[glad osprey]

you can just do {C:Clubs}and this text will be clubs coloured{}

[glad osprey]

ya like that

[hard needle]

i think ModdedVanilla.lua is outdated

thank you

[zealous glen]

I wonder if I could do something like this

[glad osprey]

i feel like there is a better way of conveying what it does but i just cannot figure out what it is lmao

[hard needle]

is that supposed to say 1+1?

[zealous glen]

No

You need to use V

[runic pecan]

Found it. G.P_CENTERS.c_planet_x.unlocked

[zealous glen]

to access vars.colours

[hard needle]

you mean {V:...} right? i did

[zealous glen]

Yes

[zealous glen]

How did you do it

[hard needle]

{V:1}#4#{}

[glad osprey]

interesting

[zealous glen]

Oh you did this incorrectly

It should all be inside vars

[hard needle]

ahhhhhhhhhh

i forgor 💀

oke thanks

[zealous glen]

example

[hard needle]

i know xd

[zealous glen]

It was meant to have variables too but this Joker didn't use them

[runic pecan]

Hmmm, why is it ERROR?

[zealous glen]

Badges need two dictionary entries

[runic pecan]

And which is the second one?

[zealous glen]

maybe not two but at least one in misc.labels

[runic pecan]

You know what, screw this, hide_badge=true it is.

[runic pecan]

Oh you meant those ones.

[zealous glen]

what other ones

[hard needle]

how do you check if a card has scored?

[zealous glen]

Temporary is a sticker

[glad osprey]

is there a context for when something is bought from the shop

[zealous glen]

yes

[glad osprey]

what isit

[runic pecan]

context.buying_card

[glad osprey]

ty

works for everything right?

[zealous glen]

example

[runic pecan]

Jokers, consumeables, vouchers, and booster packs.

[glad osprey]

alr cool

[hard needle]

bump

[static field]

i wanna download the brainstorm mod but i dont see the main file? what do i download

[runic pecan]

SMODS.in_scoring

[glad osprey]

source code should work maybe

[hard needle]

oh? i thought it would be apart of card or context not SMODS

[runic pecan]

SMODS.in_scoring(played_card, context.scoring_hand)
It returns a boolean value (true/false).

[static field]

thanks!!

[hard needle]

i can pass in card for the played_card argument right

alr

[runic pecan]

And you might also wanna check if the card is debuffed.

[next timber]

is it possible to make an edition that, instead of applying a shader, replaces the atlas?

[hard needle]

i already do that

[zealous glen]

you could make a shader that replaces the atlas

[next timber]

awesomeeee i lovee shadersssss

[wintry solar]

You could make an edition do that yeah

[zealous glen]

blink any number of times if you've been kidnapped

it? didn't blink, that's a zero number of times

[next timber]

THERES NO CLOSED EYE EMOJI

[zealous glen]

😌

[wooden nexus]

Chat, should I keep it red like the original or make it green like the emote

[zealous glen]

green

[next timber]

😀 😁 😀

[next timber]

lmao

[icy moss]

does anyone know a easy way to restart a run on random seed from a joker? (I want to make a stupid one that has a possibility to just delete your run)

G:delete_run() just crash everything ahah

[glad osprey]

high contrast red, low contrast green

[wooden nexus]

I mean I guess that could work

[glad osprey]

exponential perkolating

[shell timber]

high contrast should change to 😡

[glad osprey]

did i cook

[runic pecan]

Are editions exclusive to each other?
I want to make a shader that can apply to any jokers, editioned or not.

[glad osprey]

editions are, but shaders can be stacked i think with enough patience

[scarlet thorn]

You could add a shader to every joker, but im not too sure how shaders like being combined

[glad osprey]

dont quote me tho

[wintry solar]

What does the shader do?

[scarlet thorn]

just rotate all jokers

[wintry solar]

No you wouldn’t be able to do that with a shader

You can just rotate the cards though

[glad osprey]

i mean technically you could but why

[wintry solar]

Not to stack with other shaders

[rapid stag]

i am once again asking for help to figure out help to stop my game exploding when i my run_start() hook runs - given that self is nil is causing it to asplode, i strongly suspect that i'm doing something wrong in my hook, but; i looked through my dump files at the run_start() calls and self is never passed in, so idk what's happening here

[glad osprey]

oh yea for other shaders

[hard needle]

is context.other_card not a thing anymore

[scarlet thorn]

It is

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[glad osprey]

occasionally it is but most contexts use card now

[hard needle]

oh y

ea

[runic pecan]

It depends on, you know, context.

[scarlet thorn]

I was ctrl-f'ing the wrong word. Yea other_card exists

[hard needle]

💀

[zealous glen]

First Tags!

What do you think?

[thick panther]

Maybe liquidation should be one-time use at the shop? Unless the idea is for it to be OP.

[native vapor]

Unless liquidation tag is like way harder to get probably nerf it

[next timber]

with a deckskin you can define as many palettes as you want, is there a way to do that for the default skin of a custom suit?

[wintry solar]

I was sad it didn’t give an extra voucher

[zealous glen]

It's not a card 🤔

[zealous glen]

@native vapor What would you suggest

[glad osprey]

how do i get hands remaining

[wintry solar]

Yeah I forget they aren’t technically cards

But when you redeemed it I expected another as a demo

Otherwise why redeem it 😂

[maiden phoenix]

Is it not the proper way to add in an existing pool? Just calling this?

SMODS.ObjectTypes.x:inject_card(joker)

[native vapor]

Probably make it limited use (like maybe three uses?) or make it a chance based effect but unlimited uses per shop

[hard needle]

What do you guys think of this?

[maiden phoenix]

I get this crash from doing it this way

[zealous glen]

To show it didn’t work.

Also for some reason buying a pack makes it stop working. I blame thunk

[maiden phoenix]

(I do check if the pool exists first)

[glad osprey]

bump for some reason

[zealous glen]

Hmmm, limited makes sense.

I have in mind that thunk has buffed the Edition Tags three times and they’re still bad

[zealous glen]

See Acrobat

[native vapor]

well theyre mainly bad because you will 99% of the time get no value from them

[next timber]

bump

[wintry solar]

Most tags are bad because you lose a shop right?

[hard needle]

I'd say so yeah

[zealous glen]

I wouldn’t say losing the shop is the issue

Losing the Blind is the issue

[hard needle]

Definitely depends on the tag

[zealous glen]

Money, interest

[hard needle]

In some cases losing the shop is bad

[zealous glen]

Losing the free Reroll is the main impact of missing a shop IMO

So a Tag needs to provide at least $15 to compensate for everything else

[rapid stag]

bump

[zealous glen]

Bad syntax

[sturdy monolith]

using smods.modify_rank(card, 1) causes it to modify the rank by 2 instead of just 1...?

[zealous glen]

Type:method(args) is equivalent to Type.method(self, args)

and AFAIK you can't do Type:method except as a call

[sturdy monolith]

you have to create a variable to be able to use the obj:method syntax, otherwise it won't have anything to operate on

[rapid stag]

so i need to be passing self in, right?

[zealous glen]

Yes but also you don't want a call AFAIK

[sturdy monolith]

no, self needs to be used in obj:method syntax
you can't operate on an object that doesn't exist

[zealous glen]

you want a definition

and the definition should handle self

as it's a method

[rapid stag]

...weird. every hook i've done up until this point has worked just fine

[glad osprey]

how do i do to_big correctly

[hard needle]

what are you trying to do

[sturdy monolith]

to_big = to_big or function(num)
    return num
end

[wooden nexus]

Suit 2 from Enemies of Jimbo WIP:

[sturdy monolith]

^

[zealous glen]

Try asking in the SMODS server or raising an issue

[glad osprey]

WHY DOES THIS KEEP CRASHING

im just trying to give one hand per five dollars

[glad osprey]

there are so many

[sturdy monolith]

when it crashes press ctrl-c on the error screen and paste that here

[glad osprey]

here it is without checking if money is greater than zero

it is an issue with talisman

i just have no clue what the issue is

[rapid stag]

...i'm not understanding what it is i need to change in code

[zealous glen]

Type.method = function(self, args)

[rapid stag]

ahhh

[zealous glen]

@hushed field what do you think

you too @balmy needle

[balmy needle]

very cool

[hushed field]

They're both cool, but one does seem wildly stronger than the other, even if it's just for the ability to generate more money

[glad osprey]

bump

[zealous glen]

If anything I think that the one that only generates a copy is too weak

[thick panther]

Seems about right.

[hard needle]

xD

[hushed field]

i mean, that's the one I picked out as the weaker one. The shop doubler is very strong, I'd say

[hushed field]

what's the crash?

[glad osprey]

^

[zealous glen]

too strong?

Or just good enough?

[hushed field]

idk, I'd play around with it. my take is that a skip tag probably's allowed to be stronger than vanilla, to compensate for how disadvantageous skipping is

[hushed field]

which of those lines is the offending one?

[glad osprey]

most likely the ease hands

it doesn't say tho

[hushed field]

i mean, you have the line number, no?

[zealous glen]

Yeah earlier I was calculating that a Tag should reward at least $15 to even be considered at all

[glad osprey]

no

the crash is from talisman

[hushed field]

does your IDE not show line numbers?

[hushed field]

it's the to_number

[glad osprey]

nope

[hushed field]

does it still happen if you remove it?

or does it change the crash?

[glad osprey]

ya

[hushed field]

none of the other code here should be impacted by talisman. But I also haven't seen talisman throw up a crash that signals there is a nil being compared

[hushed field]

the crash on talisman's part is due to the math relating to ante calc, which is weird. You're not affecting that at all. If you comment out the ease_hands_played, does it not crash?

[glad osprey]

ill test in a min

[hasty mist]

heya, been having trouble with this, i'm trying to make a joker that starts at 3x mult, and takes the factorial of its mult at the end of each round, making that the new mult, but i can't figure out what's wrong

it crashes when i end a round

[glad osprey]

yea no crash

[hushed field]

hmm, could you print the value of that formula before you pass it to the ease_hands? I don't see why passing a number should result in a nil being passed there

[zealous glen]

a Cryptid dev offered to help if you go to the Cryptid side

[glad osprey]

wait maybe its because dollars is a table

and

im putting dollars into ease hand

so im giving ease hand a table

and it no likey

[rapid stag]

another thing - i wrote this hook with the intent to track all joker encounters (any time a joker spawns) but i just realised that this only covers shop spawns and not things like riff raff or booster packs

what should i be hooking for this purpose? emplace()?

[hushed field]

talisman should theoritically take care of that. The latest version should support hand counts that go beyond naninf as well, iirc

[zealous glen]

create_card

[hasty mist]

bump

[glad osprey]

yea no that was it lmao

[limber blaze]

crashes in which way? error message or hard crash

[hasty mist]

error

[limber blaze]

whats it say

[limber blaze]

tonumber(n) probably doesnt work for bignums

you can do to_big(n):to_number() to ensure that all regular and bignums are converted

[thick panther]

Does the steamodded wiki have the different return variables like mult_mod, xmult_mod, etc?

[hasty mist]

hm after doing that it now freezes and hard crashes

[limber blaze]

thats strange

loop is probably too big idk

[hasty mist]

hm

[limber blaze]

you might be better off trying to find a suitable approximation of factorials thats faster

since it will get exponentially slower for larger numbers

[hasty mist]

hm

damn

ill probably put that joker on the backburner then

it's a bit out of my reach right now

[icy oak]

ive been stuck on this for quite a while

i dont get what im supposed to put there if i want to use it

[thick panther]

You define a color or use a var like this

my_colour = HEX('2B6D40')

SMODS.Suit{
...
hc_colour = HEX('FF0000'),
lc_colour = my_colour,
...
}

[glad osprey]

how would i make it so every card will automatically have a tooltip if it has a certain ability

[icy oak]

man they couldve made that clearer

[hushed field]

automatic in what sense? The way to go about it generally is to define a description in your localization file under the Other set, and pass that through to the info_queue in loc_vars

[glad osprey]

make it so that every joker will automatically check for a certain variable and if that exists automatically add the related tooltip to the info_queue

[hushed field]

for that, you'll wanna hook generate_ui, or make a custom generate_ui that all your jokers use

[glad osprey]

Card:generate_ui?

or just generate_ui

[hushed field]

Card:generate_ui, yeah

[glad osprey]

i may try and find a more unique way of doing credits instead bcus this is kinda boring

[thick panther]

Maybe look at how Cryptid does its credits

[glad osprey]

i would but i wanna try to find smth different first

[gentle rain]

just "George The Rat" under the "Artist" banner sells the point enough. that's what cardsauce does.

[stark geode]

close one

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#step-3-returning-effects you might have already found this but its here

[iron haven]

hey guys?

how do I add times mult?

[red flower]

literally the link above you

[thick panther]

Are you asking how to make a Joker increment xmult?

[iron haven]

yes

[thick panther]

In your Joker's calculate function:

return {
    xmult = 5 -- Any number
}

[glad osprey]

anyone know how i could stop a booster pack from being bought

[iron haven]

hmm

[glad osprey]

wayyyyyyy too op for an uncommon

also {X:mult,C:white} for the xmult text

[iron haven]

what should I change it to?

[glad osprey]

rare with .025 increase

[iron haven]

but B has to be an uncommon joker.

what should i change B to?

like what b does

[limber blaze]

what does it mean if my cards keep demanding a sacrifice

[urban olive]

no use in running from the ritual, it has already started, and you must see it through before the Fallen arrive

i hope that helps!

[sturdy compass]

Oh hey another Comedian

[iron haven]

hey @glad osprey? did you see the spreadsheet of my letter jokers?

I have to change the uncommons now....

why are there like 96 people watching me fix my spreadsheet?

there was

[tepid crow]

holy it's duct tape

[sturdy compass]

goofy ass banana

[iron haven]

does B work now for being an uncommon?

[storm wharf]

how would y'all make a joker increase hand size?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/e28f402bf799ca0fb54a961d5f895711e3b04163/src/jokers/02LiveTwin.lua#L259

basically just G.hand:change_size in add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

[sturdy monolith]

is there a way for me to make edition shaders update in real time instead of just when the card it's on is loaded?

i want my rtx edition shader to actually have real time reflections

[storm wharf]

so i don't need to use if context.joker_main ?

[zealous glen]

bazaar moment

[tepid crow]

bizarre

[zealous glen]

did I convert you to the bazaar

@tepid crow

[tepid crow]

I was already watching northernlion videos before that

but I think it helped

[wintry solar]

the bazaar is great

I am enjoying it a lot

[rapid stag]

i also have these other hooks and i'm getting errorless CTDs on selecting a blind is it safe to assume the same issue with these or is it something else

wait

it's calling the wrong thing, nvm

reading comprehension is a virtue

psa: do not write code at 8AM after having been awake for at least 20 hours

[zealous glen]

I feel like having to play only against bots at the start took the wind out of me. (Also I have too much Balatro in the brain to enjoy a second hobby.)

[glad osprey]

no

[rapid stag]

is this not the correct way to destroy cards? the cards aren't destroying i'd post a clip but it no work atm

[iron haven]

ok

[glad osprey]

👍

[iron haven]

oh

[rapid stag]

do i have to do context.other_card:start_dissolve() wrapped in an event manager, in the func var of the return table

[glad osprey]

i think you can do it outside of one

[iron haven]

what?

[rapid stag]

i'm not confident that the timing would be correct

[glad osprey]

yea it wouldnt

but you can do it!

[iron haven]

this is line 257: if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card:get_id() == 4 or context.other_card:get_id() == 5 then

context.card

not other card

nvrm

[iron haven]

?

[glad osprey]

also you should do context.other_card.base.value

not get id

or base.id

[sturdy monolith]

^

[glad osprey]

yea idk whats going on there

[storm wharf]

can anyone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to make this joker increase hand size

idk if i'm using the add to deck and remove from deck functions wrong

[glad osprey]

no that should work

[iron haven]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.base.value == 4 or context.other_card.base.value == 5 then

[glad osprey]

yea idk what the issue is

[limber blaze]

the issue is that order of operations matters for logic

[iron haven]

oh?

[limber blaze]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and (context.other_card.base.value == 4 or context.other_card.base.value == 5) then
should work

[limber blaze]

its checking if everything before the or is true or everything atfer

but in some contexts that dont get checked for after the or in the original version other_card doesnt exist

so it crashes

[storm wharf]

what is other_card.base.value?

[limber blaze]

amount of chips the card gives

[glad osprey]

the value of ht eother card

[limber blaze]

you should specifically avoid using it unless you wanna check the exact chip amount because of mod compat btw

[glad osprey]

i was told to use it specifically for that reason 😭

[limber blaze]

id is better for this reason

since mods can change the chip value

other_card.base.id will be the actual rank of the card

[iron haven]

uh

[glad osprey]

also it doesnt give the chips it gives the rank

[limber blaze]

cryptids glitched for example will change the value though

[glad osprey]

ruby i think you hae your things mixed

[limber blaze]

nvm im wrong

[iron haven]

now F doesn't upgrade.

[storm wharf]

wait, so do i need the base value check or nah in this case?

[limber blaze]

i was thinking of nominal

[glad osprey]

we are not talking to you currently

we are helping f

[storm wharf]

ohhh

my fault

[red flower]

2 things:

1. You don't need the if checks because changing hand size should be done every time the joker is added or removed, not only on debuff
2. My suggestion was about changing hand size, not play size. that's a very different thing. I would recommend waiting a bit before making this joker because smods is adding a function for this soon

[rapid stag]

[iron haven]

guys I have a logic error

[glad osprey]

rip

[storm wharf]

now i'm confused. how would i check for having the joker? and am i supposed to change play size instead of hand size?

[iron haven]

I have a logic error in my F joker.

I'll check for more

oh

nvm I have no idea

[red flower]

add_to_deck is called when you add the joker, so if it's called then that means you have it

to change play size you need to change a couple of things like the highlight limit in the hand and the play button function. that's why I say I recommend waiting a bit because Eremel is working on adding that to smods

[zealous glen]

I think you don't yet have the Joker during add_to_deck

[storm wharf]

gotcha. so i'd have to use if context.joker_main??

[red flower]

yeah but for the purpose of this conversation that technicality is indifferent

[plain apex]

balatro fent update

[red flower]

no, there's no context in add_to_deck

[urban olive]

In the context of hooking generate_card_ui, how does the game generically add the default values that come with a given center? e.g. running eval generate_card_ui(G.P_CENTERS.j_joker).main[1][1].config.text gives you +nil when it preferably should be +3 (just as it appears on the collection)

[storm wharf]

and i also can't use the add_to_deck when trying to increase hand size? I'm sorry if i'm asking too many questions. I'm so lost rn

[iron haven]

so F doesn't upgrade when you play 4's and 5's but B, C, D, and E upgrade when you play the corresponding cards.

[icy oak]

i dont really understand this part, what do i do if i want to remove all hearts from a deck for example?

[rapid stag]

anyone got ideas on fixing this?

[red flower]

You want to increase the size in add_to_deck and decrease it in remove_from_deck, that part is correct. You don't need any extra checks. If you remove the if checks from the image you sent it will increase and decrease hand size properly.
BUT that's not what the description of your Joker says, it says that you can play 6 cards which is not what hand size is

[zealous glen]

if context.other_card

[urban olive]

Just to be extra clear, here's the last bit of the hook to generate_card_ui that's relevant: (vanilla is a SMODS.Center in this context, _c is the first argument that is also an SMODS.Center)

local ret = orig_generate_card_ui(_c, ...)
return G.STATE == G.STATES.MENU and ret or orig_generate_card_ui(vanilla, ret)

[storm wharf]

ohhhhh. tysm for clearing that up. Is increasing play size more complicated?

[red flower]

yeah, I'm not sure if you can do it without hooking or patching
but like I said, it's probably getting added to smods in the next couple of days as a simple function
