No Jokers triggered?

[iron haven]

the color for Xmult is {C:Xmult} right?

[faint yacht]

{X:mult,C:white}

[lament agate]

that works

[clever abyss]

still trying to get the joker to add a spectral after a boss blind but still stuck.

[faint yacht]

SMODS.add_card it?

[sonic cedar]

no way in hell is that a dr disrespect joker

[lament agate]

theres probably grammatical error in there

[lament agate]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

yeah

[iron haven]

will turn

[lament agate]

for Dark Age?

[sonic cedar]

will turns

[lament agate]

will smith in shambles

[clever abyss]

so its supposed to be add instead of create?

[long sun]

Does he? :3

[sonic cedar]

only on sundays

would you look at the time....

[lament agate]

oh boy

[faint yacht]

SMODS.add_card is SMODS.create_card, but it automatically emplaces and calls the add_to_deck effects.

[iron haven]

Dark Age and Golden Hope

[clever abyss]

should that be it or is there more i'm missing

[sonic cedar]

does never forget retrigger once or twice

[faint yacht]

Oh, you also are not giving it a table...

Just SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Spectral' }).

[lament agate]

twice

i reworded it because

you know

they hit the second retrigger

[sonic cedar]

[lament agate]

😭

[sonic cedar]

*retrigger a second time

[lament agate]

that works too

thanks @iron haven @twin dagger

fuck

FUCK

@sonic cedar

[twin dagger]

Hold on, what did I do

[lament agate]

i am SO sorry

[sonic cedar]

you utter fool

[twin dagger]

No worries

[lament agate]

that was an accident

get better name

[sonic cedar]

no

[twin dagger]

Now we just need a ros I guess

[clever abyss]

okay. did that

[twin dagger]

🙏

[rugged pier]

can you use "context"s like you have for jokers in hook functions?

[manic rune]

am i cooking

[red flower]

no, context is only passed to calculate functions

[rugged pier]

this is crazy broken

[manic rune]

first time tryna draw 3d heavy stuff like this

[rugged pier]

hmm okay how would i do something like thi s

--Function to alter Joker effects
local old = Card.calculate_joker
function Card:calculate_joker(context)
    local m = 2
    local ret = old(self, context)
    if not ret then return ret end

    -- Dollars
    if ret.dollars then
        if not self.ability.base_dollars then 
            self.ability.base_dollars = ret.dollars
        end
        ret.dollars = self.ability.base_dollars * m
    end

    -- Mult: Xmult_mod, mult_mod, x_mult, h_mult, and mult
    if ret.Xmult_mod then
        if not self.ability.base_Xmult_mod then 
            self.ability.base_Xmult_mod = ret.Xmult_mod
        end
        ret.Xmult_mod = self.ability.base_Xmult_mod * m
    end
    if ret.mult_mod then
        if not self.ability.base_mult_mod then 
            self.ability.base_mult_mod = ret.mult_mod
        end
        ret.mult_mod = self.ability.base_mult_mod * m
    end
    if ret.x_mult then
        if not self.ability.base_x_mult then 
            self.ability.base_x_mult = ret.x_mult
        end
        ret.x_mult = self.ability.base_x_mult * m
    end
    if ret.h_mult then
        if not self.ability.base_h_mult then 
            self.ability.base_h_mult = ret.h_mult
        end
        ret.h_mult = self.ability.base_h_mult * m
    end
    if ret.mult then
        if not self.ability.base_mult then 
            self.ability.base_mult = ret.mult
        end
        ret.mult = self.ability.base_mult * m
    end

    -- Chips: chip_mod and chips
    if ret.chip_mod then
        if not self.ability.base_chip_mod then 
            self.ability.base_chip_mod = ret.chip_mod
        end
        ret.chip_mod = self.ability.base_chip_mod * m
    end
    if ret.chips then
        if not self.ability.base_chips then 
            self.ability.base_chips = ret.chips
        end
        ret.chips = self.ability.base_chips * m
    end

    return ret
end

I am trying to

use a multiplier for each joker values

[lament agate]

inspired from the Astral edition from Cryptid, since it was purple

[rugged pier]

but

i need to change the multiplier each hand played

and at the end i need to set values back to base

[red flower]

ok, but you can use context in the function that has context as an argument lol

i feel like thats obvious

[rugged pier]

i mean you said i couldnt...

[clever abyss]

hm.. still not working

[rugged pier]

cool though thanks

[red flower]

you asked if you can use it in a hook, i didnt know you were specifically trying to hook a calculate function lmao

[rugged pier]

ah okay that makes sense, i should have clarified, i didnt know if smod contexts worked directly with calculate joker functions like that

thanks

[red flower]

all the ones that go to jokers should work at least

[rugged pier]

makes sense

[rapid stag]

bump.

[errant karma]

using this to try replace the shop sign but im an idiot and dont know if this is right or not coz it wont work lol

[rapid stag]

key has to be the same as the name of the file you're trying to replace, which is ShopSignAnimation

bear in mind that as this is normally instantiated as an animationsprite, you may encounter issues if trying to replace it with something non-animated

unless it's erroring

[errant karma]

if it's an animation then shouldnt it have a thing for frame amount or am i dumb

[worldly thicket]

How would I go about making a consumable add three random playing cards to the hand, with random enhancements and other stuff

[faint yacht]

See how "Familiar" and "Grim" spectral cards do it.

[tepid crow]

did you figure it out yet?

[sonic cedar]

no 😭 i kept breaking it

[bleak moth]

How can I replace in-game localizations?

[worldly thicket]

Are they located in card.lua

[tepid crow]

I think it's if pseudorandom(...) < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/(self.ability.extra*(next(SMODS.find_card("insert your joker key")) and 2 or 1)) (if I got those brackets right)

[sonic cedar]

huhhhh...

[faint yacht]

Should.

[sonic cedar]

what's the and 2 or 1 here

[faint yacht]

Look for elseif self.ability.name == 'Familiar' or self.ability.name == 'Grim' or self.ability.name == 'Incantation' then ...

[worldly thicket]

I found it, but it's kind of confusing me on what is doing what

[slate bison]

is there such thing as context.using_consumable.edition? im trying to check if the consumable used is negative or not

[faint yacht]

context.consumeable is passed as the consumable card.

[errant karma]

my shop sign replacer wont work, can someone help lol

[slate bison]

any idea how i can check to see if that card is negative?

[faint yacht]

if context.consumeable.edition and context.consumeable.edition.negative?

[worldly thicket]

Okay reading this I can kind of understand it, but idk how to incorporate it into my consumable

[rugged pier]

is there a way to check what boss blind the player is currently facing?

[icy adder]

hey, I'm trying to make an joker that, when a non-face card is scored, it gains + 1 on the value N, but it's gaining +1 for every card held in hand(like baron does), what am I doing wrong, sorry for interrupting you guys

if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
  if not context.other_card:is_face()  then
    card.ability.extra.N = card.ability.extra.N + 1
    return {message = 'Upgraded!',colour = G.C.PURPLE,card = card}
  end
end

[rugged pier]

G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' i know you can check for Boss blind like this

but how do i do it for a specific boss

[errant karma]

this does not work
please help lol

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss is a string.

[rugged pier]

use context.individual

[rugged pier]

thank you, that string would have "modprefix_bossname" correct?

[faint yacht]

bl_modprefix_name

[slate bison]

hey is this similar to ride the bus joker card?

[rugged pier]

awesome ty

[icy adder]

yes but w/o the reseting stuff

[tired silo]

Anyone got more info on this?

TL;DR TOML file is successfully pattern matching but not printing out debug statements

[patches.pattern]

    end
end
"""
match_indent = true```

[slate bison]

you can try context.scoring_hand

[rapid stag]

chat, remind me how i get the length of a table that's key-based and not indexed

[icy adder]

thx hero and harmonious joker

[rapid stag]

is it crashing or not replacing?

[bleak moth]

Does anyone know why the line local lan = SMODS.Language("test", "Test Language") is crashing the game?

[rapid stag]

what is the error it gives

[errant karma]

no crashes, just not replacing

[slate bison]

this is how ride the bus checks it if that helps

[rapid stag]

try atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS' in your SMODS.Atlas then

[icy adder]

how do you see that

[rapid stag]

is there a localisation file sharing its name with the key of test language in your [mod name]/localization/ folder?

[bleak moth]

yes

[errant karma]

still not working
this what i got so far

[bleak moth]

isn't the key the first input?

that might be the problem; maybe I should switch them

[slate bison]

do you have 7zip?

[rapid stag]

try it

[icy adder]

yes

[rapid stag]

is it the original graphic, blank or a glitchy mess

[slate bison]

wait are u brazilian?

[errant karma]

still the base game graphic

[bleak moth]

same error

[rapid stag]

beyond my knowledge, then would need to consult someone that knows what's causing your error.

[slate bison]

se eh br?

[icy adder]

sim

[slate bison]

carai engracado

[bleak moth]

how would I do that?

This channel seems to be the only modding help available

[rapid stag]

yep. i guess just keep asking from time to time and hope someone that knows how to fix your issue is around and able to help

[slate bison]

so u open up steam, go to gamefiles, then right click on balatro.exe and open archive with 7zip

it will reveal the game's source source code

[slate bison]

se em ingles ficar dificil de entender so falar

[bleak moth]

Could the problem be that the actual translation doesn't have every key/value possible?

[rapid stag]

oh, try adding prefix_config = { key = false } to your SMODS.Atlas
either one of two things will happen from this point, either it still won't replace or it replaces wrong. the result i expect is that it replaces wrong

[icy adder]

which one

[rapid stag]

is the crash on startup or when you try to hover something

[bleak moth]

on startup

[slate bison]

all of these are the games source code, but almost every joker card is on card.lua

[rapid stag]

that's probably not your issue, then

[slate bison]

you can search other files to look for other stuff

[icy adder]

thanks

[errant karma]

still dont replace
either im missing something or im dumb

or both

[rapid stag]

...you're restarting balatro each time, right

[errant karma]

yep

[rapid stag]

wait

remove the s at the end of shopsignanimations

[errant karma]

same result ;-;

[rapid stag]

ok show me your SMODS.Atlas code again

[errant karma]

i am probably doing something wrong and im prepared for it

[shell timber]

the thing you're doing wrong is using notepad

[errant karma]

terrible option, terrible knowledge so it makes sense

suits me perfectly

lol

[rapid stag]

is the lua file this is in being run when you start the game?

[errant karma]

yes coz its with a bunch of other textures that are infact being replaced

[rapid stag]

try switching key back to shop_sign then

[errant karma]

ok that was the problem 😭

thank you for the help lol

[rapid stag]

ok, so it has to be key, not filename confusing since the balatro logo shares filename with key

my bad

[errant karma]

its fine lol

i dont know shit about lua so basically everything in the texture pack im making has taken ages to implement so
it's part of the process lol

[rapid stag]

saaaaaame

[rugged pier]

local old = Card.calculate_joker
function Card.calculate_joker(self,context)
    local m = 1
    local ret = old(self, context)
    if G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss == 'bl_csmr_lordruler' then
        m = m * 0.75
        if context.end_of_round then
            m = 1
            if self.ability.name == 'Mail-In Rebate' then
                self.ability.extra = self.ability.base_extra
            end
            return true
        end

just a sanity check here, the return true should just end the calculate function yes?

[faint yacht]

return ret is the desired return in the end.

[rugged pier]

okay let me try

wait

that might fix my error actually tysm

[faint yacht]

...are seals stored under G.P_CENTERS?

[sturdy compass]

they definitely are not

[faint yacht]

Wheremst, then?

[sturdy compass]

I believe it's G.P_SEALS??? Lemme check rq

[red flower]

yeah

[faint yacht]

G.P_SEALS is a thing, yeah.

[sturdy compass]

yeppers

[errant karma]

just out of curiosity, using steamodded, is it possible to change the background to an image or a solid color?

[stiff locust]

it is but i couldn't tell you how to do it

[rugged pier]

ease_background_colour_blind try looking for this function?

im not sure

just came across it

[chrome widget]

I'm struggling here, I want to not load a mod if another mod is present (because this mod is basically a subset of a larger mod, and I don't want to locate duplicates), and the SMODS code refers to a mod table having either a should_enable or disabled flag but neither works as I expected. How can I determine on load that another mod is active and loaded?

[tepid crow]

next(SMODS.find_mod(...)).can_load I believe

[stiff locust]

how the hell does context.modify_scoring_hand work

[tepid crow]

you might even be able to skip the can_load if you're using find_mod

[chrome widget]

find_mod seems to find any mod in the directory even if it's unloaded

[tepid crow]

uuhh I'll have to test that then 1 sec

[chrome widget]

for example this is what I've got rn

[tardy reef]

Hey quick question, how feasible would it be to implement a modded joker that only shows up after certain conditions are met? Like Cavendish only showing up after Gros Michel dies by its own effect

The condition I'm thinking would be another (vanilla) joker being sold previously during the run

[chrome widget]

Is the issue here just that it returns an empty table rather than nil if the mod isn't active?

[tepid crow]

oh you might need to do

local cardsauce = next(SMODS.find_mod("Cardsauce"))
if cardsauce and cardsauce.can_load then
    ...

find_mod returns a table of mods

[sonic cedar]

SORRY i had a huge family thing going on but i believe this should be set up properly?

[chrome widget]

Okay yeah it seems I can just use next and I don't need the can_load check (though I'll keep it for error checking purposes). I just misinterpreted that it was returning a table

Mostly because I guess I just didn't inherently see the use case to have multiple instances of one mod in the directory

Which I see is technically possible, and you could have multiple versions

[sonic cedar]

that joker key should be a string actually but other than that

[tepid crow]

oh sorry I didn't see this question, the <statement> and 2 or 1 is kinda shorthand for (if <statement> then 2 else 1 end)

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhh ok ok i figuredd

[faint yacht]

💀

[tepid crow]

your brackets are messed up

[sonic cedar]

i tried your brackets and it gave me an error though

[tepid crow]

🤔

I might've messed mine up tbh, didn't actually execute them

[sonic cedar]

mine's the same as yours but i removed that last one at the end

this is it with it

[tepid crow]

yeah you have 1 too many )s after find_card

[rugged pier]

M = 1
--Function to alter Joker effects
local base_calculate_joker = Card.calculate_joker
function Card.calculate_joker(self,context)
    local ret = base_calculate_joker(self, context)
    if G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss == 'bl_csmr_lordruler' then
        if context.change_multiplier then
            M = M * 0.75
        end

if i wanted to trigger "context.change_multiplier" every time a hand is played within that blind, how would i do it from my SMODS.Blind? (for example in SMODS.Joker i would do it within the calculate function, whats the equivalent for the SMODS.Blind)

[tepid crow]

it's because of the existence of provides in smods json metadata

[sonic cedar]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

off to test then! i dont need to do anything else to the joker itself now do i?

[tepid crow]

not really

I also looked at the code again and I might've fucked up my math

but you'll probably see that in-game 🤣

[sonic cedar]

oh nooooo lmfaoo

thanks for all the help though!!

[rugged pier]

i know about SMODS.calculate_context, my question is what is function that is "equivalent" of "calculate" within SMODS.Joker

[tepid crow]

actually, thinking about it more, I don't think you'll see it in-game 🤔

[sonic cedar]

like the numbers wont change?

[tepid crow]

not with this approach no

[sonic cedar]

good

[tepid crow]

though I think you want to change the 2 or 1 to 0.5 or 1 if I did my math correctly this time

[sonic cedar]

okily doke

[tepid crow]

since 1/(4*(2 or 1)) => 1/8 or 1/4 instead of the 1/2 or 1/4 you wanted

[sonic cedar]

oooh yeah thatd be bad

how would i visually change the numbers though? just so i can make sure its working

like 1 in 4 would say 2 in 4 you get it

[tepid crow]

uhh with this approach that's not really possible since you're basically directly editing the code that looks at the chance

[sonic cedar]

i seeeeee

can i print check then?

[tepid crow]

so anything that visually changes the number would work, but be completely independent from the statistical chance

[gusty iron]

how do i check the level of a played hand?

[tepid crow]

yeah you should be able to

[rugged pier]

bump

[rugged pier]

my wording is a little confusing,

if this was a joker, i could do SMODS.calculate_context(change_multiplier = true) in a context.before for each hand played

how would i do the same within SMODS.Blind

[rugged pier]

omg

goated

thank you

idk how i missed that in the wiki

id been staring at it for far too long

like theres no way this isnt a function already

[sonic cedar]

sendDebugMessage(G.GAME.probabilites.normal, "Logger") should work right (i dont do a lot of printing forgive me)

[tepid crow]

no, because that number never gets modified

but you could take the whole G.GAME.probabilities.normal/(self.ability.extra*(next(SMODS.find_card("insert your joker key")) and 0.5 or 1)) out and store it in a variable, then print that

[sonic cedar]

oh sick

[gusty iron]

bump

[runic pecan]

G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level
But watch out for Talisman.

[sonic cedar]

right when i was about to paste that lmao

[rugged pier]

what does talisman do...

[faint yacht]

Convert a bunch of values into tables to be able to store much larger numbers.

[rugged pier]

ah

[runic pecan]

My summary of Talisman that I made some days ago☝️

[rugged pier]

for some reason everytime i play a hand, the SMODS.calculate_context is being called 4 times, anyone know why?

[sonic cedar]

so i did this and it crashed me for calling a nil value

[gusty iron]

jippie thank yuo

[rugged pier]

cool joker idea!

[tepid crow]

full crash?

[gusty iron]

thanks!! this is in a pack of jokers im making

[runic pecan]

Maybe change it to "gain chips as many as the level of played hand"?
Or "gain chips per level of played hand"?

[rugged pier]

maybe mult instead of chips? early game this would never be picked since hand levels are so low

[gusty iron]

it goes well with another joker i have, as uh

[tepid crow]

Oh. Where did you define the variable

[rugged pier]

fair, couple thoughts:
Jokers should (mostly) be self sufficient
This is a Rare joker so even then the chips is quite weak(?)
Maybe playtesting will give a better answer

[gusty iron]

"Every time a {C:attention}hand{} is played,",
"gain {C:chips}+1{} Chip per{C:attention}level{} of the hand",

liek this?

[tepid crow]

it can only be defined within the use function

[rugged pier]

anyway, cool idea nonetheless

[sonic cedar]

oh lmao

[gusty iron]

i forgot to change the rarity </3

its common, costing 3

[rugged pier]

okay works then, maybe thats broken lol

[rugged pier]

bump

[gusty iron]

just realized you were talking about wehttam, yeah hes rare as uh

one time i leveled my high card up +10 in one turn

[sonic cedar]

both with and without the joker

[tepid crow]

you can't access it outside the function haha

print it inside the func

[sonic cedar]

ok how do i do that actuall

y

[tepid crow]

the same thing you just did it the debug console 😂

[sonic cedar]

OH i thought you meant like

filter it in the debug to the use function

but no i can do that lmao

[sonic cedar]

i think i did it wrong

it's not printing

[tepid crow]

show?

[sonic cedar]

i realized i should do that lmfao

[lucid owl]

where we're going, we don't need showman

[sonic cedar]

two wheels and no jokers its so over

[lucid owl]

true... but hey it's essentially an eternal negative showman as a deck so still a win

[rugged pier]

cool deck design

[tepid crow]

does this not work?

[sonic cedar]

it doesnt print anything

i gto the joker

used wheel

[lucid owl]

@stray terrace is the idea guy here!

[sonic cedar]

nothing happened

[rugged pier]

do you guys have a mod link?

[tepid crow]

you started a new run?

[sonic cedar]

of course always

[lucid owl]

still fully in development, but we've got a thread at #1342484578236895274

[tepid crow]

alright send the code

[sonic cedar]

SMODS.Consumable:take_ownership('c_wheel', {
    use = function(self, area, copier)
        local testvar = G.GAME.probabilities.normal/(self.ability.extra*(next(SMODS.find_card('j_hpfx_farmer')) and 0.5 or 1))

[lucid owl]

so far we've got 12 vouchers, 4 decks, 4 tags, 16 blinds, 22 consumables, and 36 jokers planned!

plus an entirely new type of card modifier in sort of the same vein as paperback's paperclips

[rugged pier]

following along :)

cool mod

[tepid crow]

it's c_wheel_of_fortune

[sonic cedar]

oh my god

[stray terrace]

Don't forget I made the art -w-

[sonic cedar]

on use

[lucid owl]

that too!

[tepid crow]

your function still isn't consistent with the one from smods

[sonic cedar]

oh so i just have to smods update it

like change card to self

i mean self to card

or is there another thing

[tepid crow]

also, but your function signature is wrong too

[sonic cedar]

my function signature?

oh well its missing card

lmfao

[lucid owl]

is there a simple way to change the rate at which items appear?

as in, with a variable or something similar

[rugged pier]

to set a new global variable, you would just do G.GAME["variable_name"] = some_value

yes?

[lucid owl]

that's probably the path, but how would you affect the weight at which jokers appear in the shop or in packs, for example, regardless of rarity?

[sonic cedar]

ok no crash or anything but still no print

[rugged pier]

sorry, my question was not an answer to yours

[lucid owl]

the idea is that with a certain deck from this mod, jokers of this same mod would appear 3x more but i can't seem to find anything super simple

[lucid owl]

oh lol, all good

[rugged pier]

i was confirming it for my own implementation of something 😅😅

[lucid owl]

i mean it did work with my question anyways LMAO

[rugged pier]

perfect lol

[rugged pier]

if you do figure this out, lmk pls i need to implement something similar as well

[sonic cedar]

i made sure to replace all the selfs with card which is why it doesnt crash, but it still wont print the thing

[tepid crow]

INFO - [G] 2025-04-14 09:39:31 :: DEBUG :: Logger :: 0.25
works for me

[sonic cedar]

oh my god im on the wrong console

yeah theres the 0.5

but it WORKS

cannot thank you enough oh my god lars

[rapid stag]

how do make the badge in set_badge() not show if card locked or discovered

[tepid crow]

I'm not sure that's a built-in thing, might need to patch into some stuff to achieve that? 🤔

[rapid stag]

[rugged pier]

Is this not the right way to define a global variable G.GAME["LordRulerMultiplier"] = 1

[rapid stag]

where are you making this assignment

[rugged pier]

in my main mod file

[tepid crow]

oh wait, this is a function you defined

[rugged pier]

before anything else is loaded

[tepid crow]

you should be able to look at the card argument

[rapid stag]

yeah, G.GAME isn't defined until a certain point in runtime, like at main menu i think

[rugged pier]

huh

interesting

[tepid crow]

G.GAME gets defined once you're actually in a run

[rugged pier]

that makes sense actually

lol

[rapid stag]

are card.locked and card.discovered things?

[rugged pier]

if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then
    G.GAME["LordRulerMultiplier"] = 1
end

this would fix it right

[tepid crow]

no clue! print it out and see I'd say

(but yeah you're looking for something like that; my guess is card.config.center.unlocked?)

[iron haven]

hey guys? What should I replace in part of my code for a joker I am making?

[faint yacht]

What if you set the badge to nil if it's not discovered with set_badges?

set_badges(self, card, badges)
  if not self.discovered then badges[#badges] = nil end
end

[iron haven]

I can give the code if you want.

[rugged pier]

it cant find the variable even though im in the blind?

[rapid stag]

i tprinted it, but am confused as to whether these are strings or booleans

[rugged pier]

how...are we supposed to help you without code

[tepid crow]

I doubt thunk uses strings for booleans haha, but you can print the type using type

[rapid stag]

oh true

[faint yacht]

Please use such for pasting code.
```lua
code here

[iron haven]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'juliett',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'J',
        text = {
            "all played {C:attention}jacks{} give {X:mult,C:white}x#1#{}.",
        }
    },
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x = 1, y = 1},
    config = { extra = {
            Xmult = 1.5,
        }
    }, 
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 10,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
    if context.individual and context.other_card:get_id() == 11 and context.cardarea == G.jokers then 
          card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 5
          return {
              message = 'Upgrade!',
          }
    end
    if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
         return {
            Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            card = card
        }
    end
end
}

[rugged pier]

you want the joker to give x1.5 mult for each jack played?

[iron haven]

yes.

[rugged pier]

card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 5
return {
message = 'Upgrade!',
}

what is this part?

[iron haven]

It was from I's code, ok.

[rugged pier]

you want to loop through G.play.cards and see if each card has id of 11 and add 1.5 each time to a mult variable in your config

then return xmult = mult

[iron haven]

calculate = function(self,card,context)
    if context.individual and context.other_card:get_id() == 11 and context.cardarea == G.jokers then 
          card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 5
          return {
              message = 'Upgrade!',
          }
    end
    if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
         return {
            Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            card = card
        }
    end
``` So I have to change this.

ok.

[lucid owl]

i figured it out! check out how paperback does this with their paper deck (essentially, they simply triple the amount of times jokers from their mod show up using a lovely patch, but you can substitute checking the presence of the deck for basically anything) https://github.com/Balatro-Paperback/paperback/blob/main/lovely/paper_deck.toml

[iron haven]

so what do I change this to? hm...

[rugged pier]

oo cool thank you :)

[rugged pier]

if context.before then
card.ability.number_jack = 1
for k, v in G.play.cards do
if v:get_id() == 11 then
card.ability.number_jack = card.ability.number_jack + 1
end
end
if context.joker_main then
return {
Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult * card.ability.number_jack
}
end

very rough

youd have to create a number_jack variable in your config

[iron haven]

Ok, what do I set it to and also I have 5 errors.

[rugged pier]

you can set it to whatever really, i have a default value set to 1 in context.before anyway but you can keep it at 0

what are your errors

[lucid owl]

you can format code text like this, btw:

print("example lua code")

here's what you would type to get this:
```lua
print("example lua code")
```

indents are preserved

[rugged pier]

yeah ik i was just lazy

lol

[lucid owl]

fair lmao

[rugged pier]

spent a loooong time trying to figure out joker multiplier effect today

[rugged pier]

can you implelement my changes then send your code

[iron haven]

is that it?

[gilded blaze]

you forgor to wrap your if statement inside calculate = function(self, card, context)

[rugged pier]

yes, everything i said just replaces what you have inside your calcualte

[iron haven]

oh

number_jack = 0 is good?

[rugged pier]

yes

[gilded blaze]

what does the joker do

[iron haven]

?

[gilded blaze]

you're trying to code something, I need the context

[rugged pier]

theyre giving 1.5x mult for each joker played

[gilded blaze]

what I'm seeing in the code is

gain X1.5 Mult for each played Jack

💀

[rugged pier]

sorry

jack

not joker

lol

but yeah their initial goal was for the joker to gain that mult for each jack played

so i gave them the implementation for that

[rugged pier]

whats line 431

[iron haven]

for k, v in G.play.cards do

[gilded blaze]

it should be

for k, v in pairs(G.play) do

but I'm suggesting

for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
  if context.full_hand[i]:get_id() == 11 then ... end

[rugged pier]

whoops

that is infact the right way to do it

[iron haven]

Line 432

if v:get_id() == 11 then

[gilded blaze]

why is v still there
didn't I tell you to use context.full_hand[i]? 💀

[iron haven]

?

[gilded blaze]

this guy is helpless 💀

the ... is meant to represent whatever you're trying to do within the if statement

[iron haven]

oh

so this?

[gilded blaze]

yes

may I get the full joker description

since there might be some unexpected behavior with your code

[iron haven]

All played Jacks give 1.5 mult

[gilded blaze]

including Jacks that do not score?

what are you trying to achieve here

[iron haven]

line 433

card.ability.number_jack = card.ability.number_jack + 1

[faint yacht]

card.ability.extra.number_jack

Honestly, if each Jack is to give X1.5 Mult individually, it all could've been just one large if check.

[iron haven]

there's 3 ifs and a for loop in the code 😛

great....

[gilded blaze]

if you're trying to trigger X1.5 Mult on individual Jacks, use this instead

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
  if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then
    return {
      x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
      card = card
    }
  end
end

there's no need for number_jack

[iron haven]

ok it works now.

kings are 13, right?

[rugged pier]

yes

[iron haven]

ok

Okay. How am I going to make L....

[tall wharf]

taking an L

[gilded blaze]

track how many losses you have

save it to a global variable

and use it as Xmult

[iron haven]

This is what L's text will be. +30 Mult if last hand scored under 25% of the blind requirement

[tall wharf]

i will be adding this as a joker

[rugged pier]

is there a way to track the last destroyed card in the game?

[iron haven]

uh. I have no idea if you are asking me.

[gilded blaze]

it's not too hard to implement one

well, that is until you can't decide how it would work with Hanged Man and Immolate

[rugged pier]

yeah thats what i was wondering tbh so was curious if the game had an implementation already

[gilded blaze]

probably not

[rugged pier]

makes sense

[gilded blaze]

since vanilla doesn't have any objects that rely on that

[rugged pier]

true

if those tarots/spectrals destroy cards one by one

it might be possible

let me see how they are implemented

[gilded blaze]

yep

[iron haven]

I guess I'll stop at K for now.

[rugged pier]

okay

it does technically

because its stored in a table

so i could implement something similar

[gilded blaze]

so, always take the last element in the table?

[rugged pier]

where i just take the last value

[rugged pier]

yeah although

i could randomize it?

[gilded blaze]

probably

[rugged pier]

to add in the rng element of the game

hmm

yeah shouldnt be too hard to implement at all

[gilded blaze]

Immolate could be a bit different

still stored in a table but

it chooses 5 at random instead of from highlighted

[runic pecan]

Does SMODS have any alternative method for not_enhanced?

[rugged pier]

true

i dont think i understand this even, whats the destroyed_cards table

like its not defined?

[gilded blaze]

you want to store last destroyed card's rank and suit?

[rugged pier]

yeah

(potentially the seal, enhancement, and edition)

[sturdy compass]

Anyone have any ideas on how I would get this to work? The intended function is to add 15% of last hand's chips and mult to the following hand's, but Talisman is making this less than pleasant to work with, as it's crashing within the before context. stg = card.ability.extra

[gilded blaze]

that could probably be done easily

[rugged pier]

not next(SMODS.has_enhancement(card,key))

[ruby lily]

is this correct for a rank card key?

i dont think it wants a table but idk what to put

[gilded blaze]

huh

[rugged pier]

yeah i could just create a table for each aspect of the card and update it

[tall wharf]

i think you'll need bignum:gt(another) to compare stuff

[rugged pier]

the challenge is jsut determining which is the card that should be selected for immolate

[tall wharf]

gt is greater than

[sturdy compass]

The comparison works fine believe it or not, it's the calc_effects that are tripping the crash

[rugged pier]

what i do is just make my mod not compatible with Talisman /j

[sturdy compass]

I wish lmao

[gilded blaze]

just do to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end
then use to_big in any of related comparisons in your code

[rugged pier]

not looking forward to making my mod talisman compatible 😔😔

[tall wharf]

attempt to compare number with table:

[gilded blaze]

the game should take Talisman's to_big if it's installed or use your own fallback if not

which makes your mod functional with or without Talisman

[sturdy compass]

Oh how nice that would be

Anyways
It's crashing here cuz stg.chips/stg.mult are tables and are what's being passed in as amt

[tall wharf]

does talisman not patch that 😭

[sturdy compass]

apparently not

In other news
check out this really cool joker I came up with

Good stone build synergy

[rotund ridge]

indeed

[wintry solar]

What line is crashing?

[sturdy compass]

This

[wintry solar]

Ah right

This is why we don’t like talisman

[sturdy compass]

Lmfao

[wintry solar]

Because turning numbers into things that can’t be used in comparisons is dumb

[sturdy compass]

As much as I’d love to not have Talisman compat I kinda need to, both for popularity reasons and to handle very large numbers from one of my features

[wintry solar]

Then badger the talisman devs to fix their shit

[faint yacht]

Can I access the G.P_CENTER_POOL['Consumeables'] from create_card at all or do I need to define a new pool of my own and inject all the cards from it into said pool? 💀

[sturdy compass]

[faint yacht]

...guess I'll need to use inject_card for the custom pool, but how do I use such again?

[manic rune]

i think i already published that as an issue in their github already

not sure why they didn't patch it yet

[gilded blaze]

probably because card_eval_status_text is hardly used for Chips/Mult displaying stuff

return {chips/mult = value, etc.} already does the job well 💀

[faint yacht]

@wintry solar Apologies pinging you like this, but does the G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Consumeables'] not have all the varying types of consumables in it, including modded ones?

[ruby lily]

does anyone know why my example cards are showing blank? the king of hearts shows correctly and the custom cards show properly in the deck as well.

heres the rank code

[wintry solar]

Every message runs through that function

[wintry solar]

Is that even a pool? I thought they were separated by type

[gilded blaze]

are Chips/Mult value displays also?

[wintry solar]

Yes

Every message that is on a card

[gilded blaze]

then why is it still under the radar until now

💀

[wintry solar]

I imagine most people have animations off

[gilded blaze]

like, people still play Cryptid with vanilla objects

and with anim

[faint yacht]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Consumeables'] is a valid pool, yeah.

[wintry solar]

Alright, what’s the question? Whether modded consumables are added to this?

Looking at the smods code, it should have all consumables including modded ones

[faint yacht]

At this point, the question is if we ever could just have a pool that we can access of all the consumables to be put directly into create_card?

Like SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Consumeables' }), unless I am missing something.

[wintry solar]

Youd have to select the key yourself I think

I think you could use get_current_pool(“Consumeable”) too

[runic pecan]

I need a function that, for example, input "m_glass" and output localized string for "Glass card".

[wintry solar]

That’s what localize is for

[runic pecan]

I mean, just localize('m_glass') feels not enough for me.
Unless it's really just that simple.

[wintry solar]

Nah you need a table

Just search for uses of it in code

[runic pecan]

localize({key='m_glass', type=???})

[iron haven]

um. big problem. I got D (my joker) and it works if it doesn't score or in your hand.

And I don't want that.

[daring fern]

What is it supposed to do?

[daring fern]

What does it do currently?

[faint yacht]

-# Don't forget to share code!

[daring fern]

Your not checking the card area.

[iron haven]

oh?

this is a straight, right?

[daring fern]

You need to check context.cardarea == G.play if you only want it to be scored cards.

[daring fern]

Your checking context.individual and context.cardarea == G.jokers which never happen at the same time.

[iron haven]

so I have to add it to all 11 jokers? ok

[iron haven]

??

[iron haven]

so I have to replace all G.jokers with G.play?

[faint yacht]

If you are upgrading when a straight is played, why not if context.before and context.cardarea == G.jokers? (Similiar to how Space Joekr does it.)

[iron haven]

what's the different between play and played?

[wintry solar]

You don’t need area checks on jokers like that

Unless it’s an edition you shouldn’t ever need to check it’s in G.jokers

[faint yacht]

if context.before and context.scoring_name == 'Straight', oop.

[wintry solar]

I’d do next(context.poker_hands[“Straight”])

[iron haven]

I think I have to change A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J, and K now.

[faint yacht]

-# I'm very much outta fumes, gonna hit the hay.

fixed, i forgot that text needs to be a table

[icy oak]

anyone knows how to access/check the background color of the lvl

niche question

[versed swan]

How do you change a Joker with a fancy flip animation like Death, Strength, etc does?

[maiden phoenix]

G.C.HAND_LEVELS

[icy oak]

ty ill check

[ruby lily]

whats the function to set a cards rank? set_ranks() isnt it

[maiden phoenix]

Try SMODS.change_base

[ruby lily]

im trying to put it here

[maiden phoenix]

set_ranks isn't used for that, it doesn't even take parameters

[ruby lily]

thats fine, what can i use instead to change the selected card into another rank, i tried using SMODS.change_base with no luck

[maiden phoenix]

assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, rank))

[ruby lily]

oh i see

[maiden phoenix]

the rank has to be the card base value

[hushed field]

set_ranks is the function that properly places cards inside their cardarea arrays, iirc, but the name's a bit misleading 😛

[ruby lily]

is there a place i can read abt all the functions

[maiden phoenix]

Yea in the utils file of SMODS' code

[hushed field]

nope! The source code isn't documented in that way. Though the functions you'll wanna use are documented on the SMODS wiki, with a lot of info on the utility page https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[daring fern]

How does one make a poker hand example contain enhancements?

[ruby lily]

thats what ive been going through, pretty helpful but it misses some stuff

[maiden phoenix]

Check Steamodded\src\utils

[ruby lily]

alr

[maiden phoenix]

For vanilla functions it's slightly harder since they're scattered around

[ruby lily]

o yea i see the utils, ty 🫡

btw that did work

btw is there a way to have custom ranks not appear in every deck by default? i dont see anything on it in the documentation

[ruby lily]

oh i missed that on the docs

[maiden phoenix]

Yea it should look like (taken from Bunco)

in_pool = function(self, args)
        if args and args.initial_deck then
            return false
        end
    end

[ruby lily]

o nice

ive been referencing bunco a lot

[lavish lake]

So Im making a mod called Bun Co. (definitely not Bunco) and I was wondering if my joker ideas headed in the right direction. Here they are atm:
Bun
When fused with another Bun, create a Sandwich
Sandwich
Gains +5 Mult per enhanced card played and scored, self destructs at 100 Mult
Toaster
Creates a Toast each Ante
Toast
When fused with another Toast, create an Endless Sandwich
Endless Sandwich
Gains +5 Mult per enhanced card played and scored,
1 in 100 chance that this card self destructs at the end of round

[lavish lake]

I might change the Toaster to destroy a bun for a toast each ante but idk let me know

[reef belfry]

how do i make it so it goes through each card rather than instantly changing every card to a suit...

ah...

i see where i was wrong

[long urchin]

is there a way to move an object using code? Only the offset code isnt working, the rest is perfectly fine

            context.shop_card.config.center = G.P_CENTERS[packselect]
            context.shop_card:set_ability(context.shop_card.config.center)
            context.shop_card.children.center.scale.x = 71 * 0.8059
            context.shop_card.children.center.scale.y = 95 * 0.8059
            context.shop_card.children.center.offset.x = context.shop_card.children.center.offset.x * -2
            context.shop_card.children.center.offset.y = context.shop_card.children.center.offset.y * -2
            context.shop_card:set_cost(G.P_CENTERS[packselect].cost)```

[thin anchor]

would this be correct for giving custom rarities values?

[reef bolt]

hoi, new to modding - I'm currently trying to get a joker effect working but for some reason I seemed to have not done it properly

the intended effect is to create a negative spectral if your played hand has Foil and an Ace, and as far as I'm aware, the check is correct, but... not the "making a consumable" part

[daring fern]

You would have to iterate through context.full_hand

And you would have to check separately.

[ruby lily]

how do i add cards to the playing card deck? i tried G.playing_cards:emplace(card) but "playing_cards" doesnt seem to be right

[gusty peak]

G.deck

[daring fern]

Use the create_playing_card function.

[ruby lily]

what are the parameters?

or do i just tag that on instead

[daring fern]

I think this should make a stone card and put it in your deck.

create_playing_card({front = 'S_A', center = G.P_CENTERS['m_stone']}, G.deck)

[ruby lily]

ill give it a go rn

hm

[cyan lagoon]

how do i use context.repetition to retrigger enhanced cards?

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and next(SMODS.get_enhancements()) then I think

[daring fern]

My mistake it's SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card)

[cyan lagoon]

works

thanks

does G.play.cards base every card suit in your hand?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[reef belfry]

like

well not necessarily suits

just its values n stuff

like enhancements suits rank etc

if i have something that checks if its hearts does it check every card played in that hand

[daring fern]

G.play.cards are the cards that were played, it has everything about the cards.

[reef belfry]

so like

EVERY card

how do you uh... make it so it checks the scored card

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand

[thin anchor]

is there a list of all of the custom rarities people have made

[daring fern]

You mean over all mods?

[thin anchor]

yes

[daring fern]

I don't think there is.

[thin anchor]

doh

[reef bolt]

quick follow-up question: does it automatically iterate, or would I have to make it myself? currently tried via this implementation and it still doesn't work.

[reef belfry]

one more thing... how do you make it so it changes the suit of each card individually rather than instantly turning them into spades

[daring fern]

First, you would have to do it manually with a for loop, Second, No.

[unborn bay]

use a delayed event

[daring fern]

You would do it in context.individual and context.cardarea and use an event.

[bold sleet]

for that explore the event manager and event queue, if you haven't already/

[reef belfry]

rah..

[unborn bay]

you can probably reference card.lua for more info about events

probably reference how tarots do the funny animation

[bold sleet]

...or you can check the SMODS documentation...

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

Half of the times checking the source code isn't useful because the game makes half of the stuff work via a completely different way.

Or that's what I found so far.

[late basin]

How would you detect how many of a specific card are in your deck (like the way Steel Joker and Cloud 9 do it)? The Steammodded documentation is my best friend but I'm having a hard time finding this one

[glad osprey]

look at steel jokers code

card.lua

ctrl+f Steel Joker

[daring fern]

local num = 0
for i, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_steel") then
        num = num + 1
    end
end

Change the has_enhancement to the requirement you are looking for.

[cursive sentinel]

Is it possible to have a permanent effect on cards like the hiker but on something else than chips?

[distant gate]

I am trying to make a joker that has the splash effect (all cards score) but I can't seem to figure it out (I've tried looking through the pokermon code but couldn't find anything) Does anybody know how to make this work?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[glad osprey]

look at splash's code \

genuinely source code is a savior 🙏

[distant gate]

Splash doesn't have code, it's hard-coded into the hand eval function (which I can't get an override to work on)

[glad osprey]

ah

figured it would

most likely needs a patch then

i think

[unborn bay]

lovely patch ,,,,,

[red flower]

context.modify_scoring_hand

return { add_to_hand = true }

[glad osprey]

evil splash: no cards are scored

[thin anchor]

for some reason this code doesnt work when i have cryptid installed
can anyone tell me why?

[glad osprey]

ease_dollars

cryptid patches it to do smth and that breaks shit

[thin anchor]

oh

[glad osprey]

i had this issue too 😔

[thin anchor]

how would i make it compatable

[glad osprey]

is there a crash

[thin anchor]

no it just doesnt do anything

[glad osprey]

oh

oh you never define sum

before to do add local sum = 0

[thin anchor]

are you sure

[glad osprey]

fuck nvrm

[daring fern]

Is G.deck enabled in optional features?

[glad osprey]

try having it print the rarity it gets

and what that rarity is from the table

so

print(J.config.center.rarity)
print(rarities[J.config.center.rarity])

[reef belfry]

well uh now it just makes the first card a spade..

i know its probably in the upper part but im too stupid to actually know what to change it with

[glad osprey]

are there all four prints?

[reef belfry]

whar..

[glad osprey]

you have it print when it changes

this should have printed that four times

[red flower]

what's the return false for?

[reef belfry]

when the played card isnt a heart...

[daring fern]

It should be context.cardarea

[red flower]

returning false in an event just makes it repeat again iirc

[glad osprey]

you already check for that

[thin anchor]

no none nothing

[reef belfry]

oh..

[glad osprey]

no put it in the loop lol

[glad osprey]

OOOH wait is this a deck

[bold sleet]

guys 👆 idk you've been using it a lot for the past 10 minutes

[thin anchor]

yes

[glad osprey]

ah

[thin anchor]

sorry

[glad osprey]

maybe try removing the check for card area

it should work fine then

[thin anchor]

ok yeah

thank you!!!!

[glad osprey]

lol

yea ive made plenty of decks

too many one might say

[thin anchor]

too many decks:

i like your mod

its pretty neat

[glad osprey]

one might even say neato-

[thin anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-explosion-sad-explode-gif-15295996165959499721

[glad osprey]

feel free to steal tmd's code if needed

i did not spend that long figuring out how to do stuff just for it to be used for my mod exclusively

[wooden nexus]

Okay question

SMODS.load_file('versions/0.8.6.lua') I did this right, right?

[glad osprey]

put it in an assert

so

[crisp coral]

imagine asserting

[wooden nexus]

assert?

[glad osprey]

assert(SMODS.load_file('versions/0.8.6.lua')()

[wooden nexus]

ok

[thin anchor]

how would i create a custom color

for badges and such

[wooden nexus]

ok it works now, thanks

[daring fern]

HEX('hexvalue')

[wooden nexus]

Also question: Is it possible for me to unlock and lock cards just by having a specific config?

[daring fern]

unlocked = true or false?

[glad osprey]

elaborate

[wooden nexus]

Yeah, I want to make it so that one of the requirements to unlock the jokers from a version is to, y'know, turn it on in the config

[glad osprey]

oh that

i just add a dependancy that doesnt exist

[wooden nexus]

yeah, but i don't want to REMOVE the joker from the collection

[glad osprey]

ah

[candid sleet]

extremely new to modding but i'm following that one tutorial by artmuncher
right now i'm just trying to make a simple joker that adds 30 chips when hand is played but the end goal for this joker is to add 30 chips for each face card in hand, i tried setting that up yesterday but it was crashing the game on load, i've tried pulling back stuff from it since, but it's still crashing on load. if anyone has any advice i'd really appreciate it. sorry this is basic stuff i am just lost here

[thin anchor]

is this how i would give a custon rarity to a joker

[daring fern]

You would have to define it first.

Also you need your prefix.

[wooden nexus]

btw for all those wondering

Though I also want to be able to lock 1.0.1o later on

[glad osprey]

modprefix_raritykey

also need an SMODS.Rarity for the rarity

[cursive sentinel]

when doing basically the hikers with perma_p_dollars instead, it does work but it doesnt proc dollars on the round it is added to it, is there a reason, or smth i misunderstood?

[daring fern]

Perma bonuses don't trigger on the current hand unless the card is triggered again.

[cursive sentinel]

it first counts its gold, then upgrade it, even though i have the same temporality as hiker, or am i crazy and hiker actually doesnt count the chip added on the round its added on?

okok im crazy then ,thank you

[ruby delta]

@daring fern please can you help me with only 1 joker it's a very small bug,

This one joker I am getting an issue with this error

Oops! The game crashed:
[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]:347: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

whenever I press New Run after the Game over screen or from the Options, It's happening just after the cards get burnt/destroyed

[daring fern]

@worldly thicket

[worldly thicket]

what about for a random suit and rank?

[zealous glen]

always an ace of spades though

[worldly thicket]

do I do pseudorandom, as I was looking at how the Grim spectral does it

[ruby delta]

@daring fern I sent u Lua file on dms

[worldly thicket]

Also someone told me earlier to get Intellisense I need to add SMODS to my project but how do I do that in VSCode

[worldly thicket]

I add the "Steammodded" folder right?

[daring fern]

It should be called smods

[worldly thicket]

I'm not finding it

[daring fern]

What version of steamodded do you have?

[wooden nexus]

So another weird question:

        if _center.name == 'Half Joker' and (_center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then 
            self.children.center.scale.y = self.children.center.scale.y/1.7
        end

If Let's say I don't wanna use the Center's name but its key, is that possible?

[daring fern]

card.config.center.key

[wooden nexus]

ty

strange, it didn't work

                self.children.center.scale.y = self.children.center.scale.y/1.7
            end```

[daring fern]

Where are you putting this?

[wooden nexus]

card.lua as a lovely patch?

[daring fern]

_center is the card and its located at card.ability so I'm not sure how to acquire the key.

[wooden nexus]

Well the problem is that i can't use the name, it's already half joker in the localization so that it doesn't break the original

[worldly thicket]

I used the Balatro Mod Manager

[daring fern]

The name is different from the local name.

[daring fern]

You would put the steamodded folder in your workspace.

[wooden nexus]

So what, I can add Name = "Half086" into my joker code in this case and load that instead?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[worldly thicket]

is this what it should look like?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wooden nexus]

huh... didn't think about that. might make porting code a bit easier

if it WORKED, smh game

[worldly thicket]

Is there anything else I need to do?

[daring fern]

You also want to put the lovely folder in your workspace if you want the intellisense

[wooden nexus]

i know there's code missing in the screenshot, that's on purpose

But did i do the name thing right?

[storm wharf]

what's the context for checking the number of jokers you have?

[worldly thicket]

I did this but I don't think the Intellisense is working

[daring fern]

What lovely folder did your put in your workspace?

[worldly thicket]

sorry if I'm annoying you btw

[daring fern]

Does the dump have files in it?

[worldly thicket]

Yes

[daring fern]

Do things like this show up?

[worldly thicket]

Nope

[hard needle]

omg this exists

[hard needle]

hmmmmmm i also added lovely and smods to my workspace and i still don't get intellisense D:

[daring fern]

What about opening your mods folder as a folder in a new workspace?

[worldly thicket]

Also did not do anything

[daring fern]

Do you have the lua extension?

[hard needle]

this worked for me

[worldly thicket]

I do not but which one is it, there is a lot just called "lua"

[storm wharf]

how do you check for the current number of jokers you have?

[worldly thicket]

Thank you for all your help

Now back to my original question, do I do a pseudorandom for the cards' suits and ranks?

[daring fern]

Get a pseudorandom_element of G.P_CARDS

[ruby delta]

Did u see it? :(

[cursive sentinel]

I think i already have my answer, but would there be a way to make a pareidolia like effect on a specific rank instead of is_face?

[zealous glen]

Not exactly

you could make every Rank the same (replacing the original)

[cursive sentinel]

wdym?

[digital niche]

in this, where is the enhancement set?

[cursive sentinel]

basically i would like to make card count as kings (so not contradictory with pareidolia)

but the way pareidolia is done is weird asf

[zealous glen]

and I'm saying you can make every card a King

[cursive sentinel]

how would i?

im really debuting, started about a week ago

[hard needle]

has someone re-made smeared joker with steamodded?

[zealous glen]

hooking the function that gets the id I think

[zealous glen]

what's weird about it

[daring fern]

You would hook get_id and if the joker is present return the id you want.

[hard needle]

i want to see how they make cards count as other suits

[zealous glen]

hook is_suit

I made Chimera

[worldly thicket]

With playing cards do I need to do newcard:add_to_deck or is that what G.deck is for in the create function

[hard needle]

gotcha

[cursive sentinel]

i'm not sure i understand ^^; get id on card played and then i return (i dont know how) the id i want (without changing the card)?

[digital niche]

tyty!!

[zealous glen]

@hard needle

[hard needle]

is ur mod open source :trol:

[daring fern]

All Balatro mods are open source.

[digital niche]

if i have an enhancement list, what would i put instead of "m_stone"?

[zealous glen]

the way Smeared and Pareidolia work is that instead of the game accessing the desired value directly, it sends a courrier to retrieve it. Smeared/Pareidolia kill the courier and replace it with their own insider agent

[zealous glen]

yes

[hard needle]

send me the link 🤔

[digital niche]

the enhancement list

[sonic cedar]

i have no idea

[worldly thicket]

I tried using my consumable and got this crash

[daring fern]

It's G.P_CENTERS

[daring fern]

Also you don't emplace it you would change it from G.deck to G.hand

[worldly thicket]

I'm just testing it right now, but when I do add the pseudorandom, do I do front = pseudorandom(something)

I just got this crash now

[ruby delta]

?

[daring fern]

What does your joker supposed to do?

[ruby delta]

It burns/destroys the first hand cards, let's say I burnt/destroyed 4 cards in the first hand of the blind, I would get 4x mults and it keeps on growing too

But I am getting this error

(whenever I burn/destroy the cards and press new run either on game over menu or options menu) @daring fern

[cursive sentinel]

im not sure on how to get the id (like context.before and context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play) and even less sure on how to return an id at all ^^;

[daring fern]

Try replacing everything in calculate with this ```lua
if context.destroy_card and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and context.cardarea == G.play then
card.ability.mult_bonus = card.ability.mult_bonus + 1
return {remove = true}
end
if context.joker_main then
return {
mult = card.ability.mult_bonus
}
end

[wintry solar]

Don’t do that

They will scale ridiculously fast

[worldly thicket]

What could've caused this as it isn't my file

[daring fern]

Is there a way to put a poker hand above all other hands?

[digital niche]

am i missing something?

trying to do like a bonus enhancement

but with +80 chips

[wintry solar]

Return chips = …

[digital niche]

OH CHIPS, thought it was bonus

[red flower]

are you trying to do a hiker effect?

[digital niche]

not really, just regular enhancement that always gives +80 when scored

[red flower]

oh yeah then it's chips

dont point at me, eremel said it

[digital niche]

if i want to return both chips and mult i just add a comma then mult = card.ability.extra.mult?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[worldly thicket]

Does this look right,

[cursive sentinel]

im trying to find where the code for the joker maximized of cryptid is, i dont seem to find it, since it has something similar to pareidolia

[cursive sentinel]

thank you!

although is it not in calculate? i haven't done a joker whose effect wasn't in the calculate function before, is that any different?

[zealous glen]

yes

this is a hook

of get_id

like I told you to do ;P

[cursive sentinel]

but i dont know what a hook is :c

ive not put the code of a joker outside of its smods.joker yet

[zealous glen]

you could overwrite the function to make it work like you want it to, but that would conflict with any other mod trying to do the same

instead, you save the original function, then you overwrite it, but you include the saved copy inside

[worldly thicket]

I got this crash again, it started after I removed the G.hand:emplace(newcard)

[cursive sentinel]

i really try to but i dont understand half the words, perhaps i should try doing smth else x)

[modern kindle]

hello besties

[zealous glen]

get_id sends a courier to delive a message, but if you hook them, you interrupt the courier which you can replace with your own courier or you can let them keep going

like a member of the mafia taking control of the courier trade

[cursive sentinel]

and the get id doesnt work in calculate?

[zealous glen]

hello bestilly the bester

[zealous glen]

they do different things

[modern kindle]

hi vic :D

[faint yacht]

G.P_CARDS['H_Q']?

[modern kindle]

hope you are well

[cursive sentinel]

where do i call the get id then?

[zealous glen]

what about you

[zealous glen]

you don't

[cursive sentinel]

looking at pareidolia and maximized, they're in totally different places

[modern kindle]

im don alright, took a nice lil shower so im hanging out now

[cursive sentinel]

and not in the same structure as smods im used to

[zealous glen]

I'm going to imagine they hung you on a string to dry

[worldly thicket]

In the reference someone sent me it wasn't like that

and I get the same crash when I add the emplace back

[faint yacht]

Merely referencing how Familiar, Incantation and Grim do it.

[cursive sentinel]

i still put it in the smods.joker ? i think im starting to get it

[zealous glen]

no

[red flower]

cryptid puts it in there because they do some weird stuff when loading objects

[worldly thicket]

That worked, however they were drawn face down

[cursive sentinel]

in where should i put it in then? and if somewhere else, does the structure need to change too?

[zealous glen]

they don't put it in SMODS.Joker I believe

they just put it next to it

but outside

[cursive sentinel]

it seems in "local maximized"

[zealous glen]

whoever keeps pointing at me

[cursive sentinel]

in misc_joker.lua

[zealous glen]

@daring fern

[faint yacht]

...any chance you are in the 'cards are drawn face down' blind or something?

[cursive sentinel]

but the whole way it is written looks like none of the mods ive lurked over before, thats why i struggle understanding it

[red flower]

it's their custom loading system table

[zealous glen]

A hook can go just about anywhere where the main body of code is

[worldly thicket]

I was on the small blind

[faint yacht]

If you wish to mess with overriding is_face and get_id, I have done some stuff with the two functions if you want to take a look?

[zealous glen]

me too

[faint yacht]

🤷

[cursive sentinel]

would love to!

[cursive sentinel]

so i can just put it outside my smods.joker

not needing anything to surround it?

[zealous glen]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1343670935122870342

[worldly thicket]

And when I hover over one of the face down cards it does this

[cursive sentinel]

ok will try like this

[cursive sentinel]

your hook is a completely other file, is that necessary?

[zealous glen]

No

I do it to organize them

[worldly thicket]

By removing the emplace I got it to work, however the cards are random despite me putting the front = ['H_Q']

[zealous glen]

I could also choose to only add some hooks

But I have sorta changed my mind about implementing a system where that would make sense

[cursive sentinel]

okok

will try smth based on cryptid, toga and yours

if i use the base of 3mods thats work, that should be fine...Eventually

[primal igloo]

How do you add new hands on balatro?

tried this but it doesn't do anything, i have totally misunderstood it?

local getidref = Card.get_id
function Card:get_id()
    local id = getidref(self)
    if id == nil then
        id = 13
    end
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_dauphine')) then
        if id <= 12 or id == 14 then
            id = 13
        end
    end
    return id
end```

You need your modprefix_ between j_ and dauphine

[cursive sentinel]

within the string?

[daring fern]

Yes.

Numbered cards don't need to be like this right '2'?

like they don't need to be put in quotes when in a pseudorandom
