[desert ore]

yeah I used " % " and it's just completely incompatible with decimals I think

[tall wharf]

just round it down

tbh

[ruby delta]

Can anyone help me in turning Toml lovely patches into Smods
it's basically balance changes, the issue is that the game.toml and card.toml are not working with Steammods so I thought if there is way to create a steammodded mod that just changes the in game values

[desert ore]

yeah that's probably the easiest way

really off edge case anyhow

[tall wharf]

god fucking damn it

😭

just added another one

[hard needle]

💀

[tall wharf]

i swear to god

[hard needle]

wait but

oh if you play a five of a kind 💀

[tall wharf]

flush five is better in this case

[hard needle]

what poker hand has 5 words in it

[wintry solar]

These are very pretty aiko

[hard needle]

oh none

[tall wharf]

nah i can't animate fire for SHIT

[unborn bay]

not even 'The Entire Fucking Deck' has five words

[wintry solar]

Do you have a version without the shine?

[tall wharf]

i have shine as a layer

[wintry solar]

I think the fire looks okay but either way the shine swipe it gets too messy to properly track

[tall wharf]

fair

[hard needle]

bro that looks better than anything i could make

buy me aseprite bro

💀 😭

[tall wharf]

😭

im going to the arcade fuck this

[hard needle]

2,661 hours bro

[tall wharf]

i have most things as layers

[desert ore]

got the edge case fixed, thanks for bringing that up! funny I had to also add absolute value since math.floor doesn't work with negatives for whatever reason

[tall wharf]

you know i always say my mod isn't blinds mod

[unborn bay]

now it definitely is

when is chess deck coming out btw

[tall wharf]

never

[unborn bay]

☹️

[tall wharf]

I'm adding Partial Deck next

you start with uhm

104 cards

yeah

uhm

uhhhh

[unborn bay]

xxl deck:

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭

here's the twist

you start with only half the card

104 halves

to be precise

[hard needle]

calculate = function(self, card, context) 
        if context.setting_blind then
            G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips * 0.9
        end
    end

doesn't seem to do anything?

[maiden river]

There's a blind text update function, if that's what the issue is

[hard needle]

i mean, the score doesn't change

[reef belfry]

yeah the requirement

[maiden river]

Buff({
    key = "small_head",
    atlas = "othercards",
    pos = {x = 1, y = 0},
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.GAME.blind.chips = math.floor(G.GAME.blind.chips * 0.5)
        G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

        local chips_UI = G.hand_text_area.blind_chips
        G.FUNCS.blind_chip_UI_scale(G.hand_text_area.blind_chips)
        G.HUD_blind:recalculate()
        chips_UI:juice_up()

        play_sound("chips2")
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card) return G.GAME.blind.chips > 0 end
})

[maiden river]

Take a look at the code I sent

[hard needle]

that's what i meant

[reef belfry]

G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[hushed field]

'is a multiple of 5' works best, I'd say

[icy oak]

whats the function to shuffle a table

[desert ore]

yeah that sounds a little better maybe

still unsure about capitalization of money, or if money should be c:attention instead

or if I need the word total

[maiden river]

Usually I use the dollar symbol

[desert ore]

well there's precedent with ox and wraith so I'm unsure

[maiden phoenix]

Eh I think it's fine imo

[desert ore]

I think this is good but I know base game is really specific with how it words things

[maiden river]

True

There are still discrepancies tho

Like how square joker doesn't have the + in front of how many chips it gives

[desert ore]

oh lol didn't know that

yeah there's still some oddities here and there

[unborn bay]

some mods don't give the attention color to the word Joker

some don't capitalize the word Joker

[zealous glen]

It’s inconsistent

[desert ore]

I mean, there's still general rule it follows closely

really does not like the word the

"at end of round"

[zealous glen]

I don’t like “at end of round” so I word it differently

Although that might be a quirk of English syntax making it sound more natural than “When round ends”

Which is what I use

[maiden phoenix]

at round ending

[desert ore]

A goal of mine is to try and blend in with vanilla pretty seemlessly, but like yeah wording is a little dumb sometimes

raised fist description straight up lying

[zealous glen]

How so?

[zealous glen]

In Cosmos we had to change a Joker’s wording from the vanilla template because no one understood it

Even though it was 1-to-1 the same effect in vanilla

[desert ore]

it doesn't add it to mult, the card itself gives the mult

with how its worded the joker should give the mult

[zealous glen]

For reference, it was “final poker hand of round”

[blissful lance]

Hello, I'm trying to make a enhanced card that changes sprites each hand played, is there a way to dynamically change the sprite position in the atlas and update the sprite in game ?

[zealous glen]

which no one understood

[zealous glen]

Try seeing how Bunco did tape

Or how Aura does animated sprites

[desert ore]

dusk says "final hand of round" no?

and acrobat

[zealous glen]

Dusk and Acrobat are talking about a different thing :)

“final hand of round” is different from “final poker hand of round”

[onyx sonnet]

I think the wording means the last poker hand played in a round

As opposed to playing a hand with 0 hands remaining

[zealous glen]

Where is it used in vanilla?

[desert ore]

well that effect isn't something in vanilla so yeah you have privelege to word it better

[onyx sonnet]

Oh no I was trying to explain the difference

[zealous glen]

Incorrect

[onyx sonnet]

Burnt joker uses it tho I think, although it's on first discarded poker hand

[desert ore]

oh blue seal?

[zealous glen]

It is used in vanilla

[onyx sonnet]

Probably blue seal

Yeah

[zealous glen]

Ding ding

But no one understood it

So we changed it to “winning poker hand”

[onyx sonnet]

Balatro players are very against the idea of reading

[onyx sonnet]

No synergy with Mr Bones 💔

[zealous glen]

To be fair most people read Blue Seal once then memorize it

Also

Thunk chose a terrible confusing template for it

[desert ore]

wait so vanilla blue seal is different to modded blue seal? because wording is not final hand of round

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[zealous glen]

Ah maybe I missed a “played” in there

But the difference is between “final hand of round” and “final poker hand of round” I think

[wintry solar]

The word played provides an awful lot of clarity to that phrase

Missing it out makes it more ambiguous

[desert ore]

is there a chance the wording has been changed since when you were doing your mod

[hushed field]

i'm honestly not sure what the difference between these two would be, based on just that wording

[zealous glen]

I don’t think so, I think I just misquoted it

[desert ore]

ah, well it happens

[zealous glen]

I’d need to review the code to see how we had written it in

Either way I think “winning poker hand” is clearer

[hushed field]

also, I'd argue that the structure in blue seal is made of the units [final played] [poker [hand]] [of round], in which poker isn't actually interacting with 'final played X of round', but just with hand

[limber blaze]

for planets probably nothing

[zealous glen]

I agree, but it’s still a cumbersome expression to read

[limber blaze]

there are probably a few very niche instances where hand and poker hand need to be seperate but they are usually used interchangeably

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure they are

I think the usage is deliberate

Even if the difference doesn’t come up with only vanilla mechanics

[onyx sonnet]

Joker that gives+1 hand but it actually adds a new poker hand

[limber blaze]

its deliberate but its a stylistic choice it will basically never actually be different

[zealous glen]

The elusive Straight Pair

[wintry solar]

Hand generally refers to all the cards played whilst poker hand generally is just the scored cards

[zealous glen]

It is stylistic in the final product, but not necessarily during development

[limber blaze]

well good thing the final product is here already

[hushed field]

what do you see as the difference, Victin? Because to me the use of poker hand there is just to refer to a named handtype

But maybe that's not consistently how it's used

[zealous glen]

Poker hand is an attribute that a set of cards can have

A played hand can be or contain a poker hand

[desert ore]

flower pot contains "poker hand"

[limber blaze]

a played hand always contains a poker hand not can, secret hands count as just new poker hands

[zealous glen]

The scoring hand is the highest tier poker hand contained in the played hand

Well, “a highest tier”

[desert ore]

I think the game is just inconsistent

[limber blaze]

poker hand is for the most part a subset of hand since all hands are poker hands its just that there are a few instances where you might need to refer to the hand outside of poker hand stuff

unscoring related stuff is a good example where it makes no sense in the context of poker hands

but is perfectly fine with hands

since hands are a balatro thing and poker hands are a poker thing and unscoring means nothing outside of balatro

[zealous glen]

I do agree the wording is inconsistent which is part of my issue with it

I do prioritize clarity over accuracy though

[limber blaze]

you should just stick with whatever makes it easiest for players to understand in the case of it being inconsistent

[hushed field]

the issue is also that 'hand' refers to so many things in balatro if you don't clarify

you play a hand, which costs you a hand, using cards held in hand, but the played hand and the held hand are not the same hand.

[limber blaze]

me when mods use the phrase in hand without clarifying

this could mean literally 2 opposite things

[zealous glen]

I think some amount of consistency is necessary for clarity

[hushed field]

i think extreme inconsistency is the best approach

[zealous glen]

There’s a trap many trading card games fall into

[hushed field]

if i was thunk's publisher, i'd have forced him to have each word of a joker randomly change language every once in a while

[zealous glen]

Where they word “force a player to discard” as “must discard”

[limber blaze]

you should just do what tboi does and make players consult the wiki by having item descriptions be not what the item actually does at all

[zealous glen]

But they don’t use “must” anywhere else

Well, maybe it’s less specific and they just emphasize the forcefulness of it

But it seems to imply other effects aren’t forceful

[hushed field]

i still have some jokers with straight up wrong descriptions that I'm gonna fix right now before I forget again ❤️

[zealous glen]

So you can just tell your opponent “no”

[hard needle]

"X2 Mult if played hand and [cards held in] hand don't contain any face cards"

how do i improve the wording of that

[zealous glen]

Good game design /serious

[limber blaze]

i mean tbf the isaac system isnt that bad outside of the fact that items have secret interactions that are really hard to discover

[zealous glen]

I’m not saying I necessarily like it, but I do think it’s “good design”

[limber blaze]

but making you discover and learn everything without just being told is pretty alright for new players

its just that it starts to becoming annoying when youre not new anymore

[desert ore]

A little aside but I have the dumb idea for a meme joker that's like "X4 Mult if your language is set to (language). Language changes every round"

[limber blaze]

you dont really have anything to learn but if you forget a specific interaction its time to consult the wiki

[zealous glen]

Introduce a “behold” keyword and use that

[limber blaze]

thats why a lot of people use external item descriptions though

"if there are no face cards on screen" is obviously the best wording

[zealous glen]

Yeah I think it’s only trying to remember some niche knowledge that the lack of clear description becomes an issue

[hard needle]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[limber blaze]

im joking btw

if that wasnt obvious

[hard needle]

thats not horrible wording

[zealous glen]

More games should do this

MTG just did it

LoR had it first

[hushed field]

'x4 mult if this joker's language matches your language settings (language changes every run)' is a fun one, I think. Doesn't make you go into settings every round, at least, and doesn't just tell you what language to put the game in right there on the card 😛

[hushed field]

LoR 💔

[zealous glen]

Taking a moment to mourn how good the translation could’ve been if it was fan-made:

/half-

[hushed field]

I've not played the game in a language that wasn't English so I'm not up to date, haha

[shell timber]

i just lovely patched jokerdisplay

[hard needle]

also why is perkeo's wording kinda weird

[desert ore]

nah I think i'd be funny if it's like you're doing meta labor for the sake of the run, lmfao

[hard needle]

like why does it use the word possession

[desert ore]

but you could also turn it off at any time for stalling

if you wanted

[zealous glen]

I think thunk originally was going to open for it to be fan translated and some people opposed it. I didn’t see a good argument from that side, and the existing translations I’ve only seen described as really bad

I haven’t seen a single official translation be well-regarded

[hushed field]

fan translation has a lot of issues too, but as someone that's currently working in translation, the entire field is kinda fucked

[zealous glen]

Card games being weird about wording go

[zealous glen]

Oh definitely

[hard needle]

just write the cards in sign language

[hushed field]

A good friend of mine recently worked on a game translation (he does not know which one) and he learned that there were 7 middle men companies between him and the developer, meaning all communication about intent was functionally impossible

[zealous glen]

There was a popular meme translation of Chainsaw Man in Brazil that had some people harassing the official Brazilian VA because the official translation didn’t follow the meme translation

[hushed field]

I don't know which game it was, but there's a famous example of a shooter using the word for seashells constantly in Spanish, because the translators were never briefed on the genre of the game, and their assigned text never conveyed that the game was a shooter

[zealous glen]

Recently I took a look at the Portuguese translation of Balatro and it had gross errors like writing stuff like “Current Round” as “Round Current”

[hushed field]

Manga/anime translation is a whole 'nother nightmare of a field, haha. Periods of really bad translation have poisoned a lot of the audiences to basically see 'translators' as people poisoning the original intent, not realizing how complex translation of creative works is

[zealous glen]

I think manga/anime fans also hate localization with a passion at times

[hushed field]

I don't know how translation was set up for balatro, but it wouldn't surprise me if the publisher reached out to a translation agency and the agency outsourced to a bunch of different people without setting up a consistency briefing, or language intent document. That's how most bad translations for game/media stuff happen

[zealous glen]

Personally I prefer sticking to the original when possible, but there are awesome jobs at localization to adapt a work to local culture

[zealous glen]

Have you watched Surf’s Up?

Whatever the surfing penguin movie was called

[hushed field]

translation is a very scummy industry that needs highly specialed skill but pays minimum wage if you're lucky, so translators often don't have space to permit themselves room to double check things.

[hushed field]

as a kid, at least

[zealous glen]

Also expensive (if you want to translate a document)

But that’s because it needs to be officially authenticated too

[zealous glen]

Did you watch it in English or what?

[hushed field]

localization and translation are different, of course, but you can't translate without necesitating some localization, after all. (social structures are a good example. You straight up can't translate the American school system to Dutch without creating major confusion, and that's the case for most languages)

[hushed field]

no clue, hahaha

[hard needle]

how do i get the amount of money the player has

[hushed field]

and the translators most likely barely get any of the money ❤️

[zealous glen]

The Brazilian localization is well-regarded. Recently I watched a video of a VA and translator talking about how they flew people from all over the world to a meeting on how to adapt the movie. The protagonist’s hometown was “Shiverpool” in English, and they brought it up as an example of a hard pun to localize

[hushed field]

G.GAME.dollars, and depending on when you do want to check the buffer as well

[zealous glen]

They came up with a suggestion on the spot that the other translators in the room loved

So I heard it was used in multiple adaptations

[hard needle]

oh my god no way

i was thinking that it was that

but i thought it wasn't since i thought it would be called money and not dollars

[zealous glen]

The suggestion was “Frio de Janeiro” (like Rio de Janeiro but replacing “rio” with “frio”, “cold”)

[desert ore]

What is money buffer even for?

[hushed field]

puns are nightmares in translation. I follow the current manga translator for One Piece, and it's super interesting to see him discuss the difficulties and liberties of translating a lot of those concepts. The translation notes on Hunter X Hunter are also fascinating, because Hisoka often has just untranslatable dialogue due to the character's word play that's tied to the art

[zealous glen]

Knowing the true amount of money before animations change it

[hushed field]

money is added in events, but events happen after previous events. That means you need to set a buffer so you can see what happens before the animation is triggered and the money is actually set

[zealous glen]

Because Balatro doesn’t separate the data from the UI much

[desert ore]

Wait a minute so I guess I completely misunderstood what like joker buffers and Consumable buffers were

[hushed field]

On an entirely different note than translation: I'm trying to see how far I can push boss blind design. I'm wondering whether boss blinds being able to apply 'lasting' effects is an interesting design space, or whether those are gonna be mostly frustrating

[zealous glen]

Those do the same thing but to the number of those cards in their respective areas

[hard needle]

how do i use create_card()?

[zealous glen]

I want to add more of those Boss Blinds myself

I think they are fun

[zealous glen]

Search the wiki for SMODS.create_card

Or rather

SMODS.add_card

[hard needle]

the github wiki

?

[hushed field]

yes! It'll probably be on the utility page

[hard needle]

uhhhhhh i dont think it exists

ok nevermin

d

it is on the utility page

[hushed field]

I'm fixing up the art for my Wicked Witch of the West boss blind, who changes cards into a negative enchantment for X turns, and I'm thinking whether I want there to be other persistent debuffs a boss blind can give you. Only thing I'm thinking is that no debuff should be given to you if you can't avoid it by playing right. So no 'for the rest of the run, planets are x2 as expensive', but yes to 'if you play a hand with less than 1 unscored card, increase the price of all future planets by $1', or something. Though i'm still playing around with the exact details.

Your mod adds negative enhancements, right, Victin?

[zealous glen]

Planned to

[tall wharf]

i wish i was better at making UI lol

[hushed field]

I'm poking around in that design space, but I'm considering that maybe I should make negative enhancements somewhat of a separate layer. Because a temporary debuff that kills a good enhancement's not fun

[zealous glen]

I disagree with separating it

Making it the same layer allows Enhancements to clear the downside Enhancement

[hushed field]

I can see an argument for keeping them as one entity, I think it's really dependant on what kind of debuffs or punishments you're going for

[zealous glen]

Keep in mind there’s another easy solution to your problem

[hard needle]

uhhh i dont think i used create_card right

[hushed field]

I'm considering something that 'poisons' a card, meaning you lose 1% of your scored chips or something, when it scores, or when it remains in hand, which i think is better as a separate sticker-esque implementation

[hushed field]

don't forget to emplace!

[wintry solar]

Use add_card instead

[tall wharf]

add_card and specify area

[zealous glen]

Did you read add_card?

[hard needle]

SMODS.add_card({'Spectral', G.consumeables}) or SMODS.add_card('Spectral', G.consumeables)?

[wintry solar]

Neither

[hard needle]

wha

[native zinc]

neither

[wintry solar]

It takes a table of keys with values

[hard needle]

so {set="Spectral", area=G.consumeables}?

[zealous glen]

You might not need the area

But something like that should woke

[native zinc]

yeah area not needed

[hard needle]

what's the point of create_card 😭

[native zinc]

i mean it's fine

[tall wharf]

create a card

but not necessarily wanting to place it somewhere

[native zinc]

yeah i think cryptid crash uses it

great stuff

[hushed field]

circling back to this ❤️ don't keep easy solutions from me pls

[zealous glen]

Just don’t select Enhanced cards as a valid target

Like Wheel of Fortune

[zealous glen]

Boop

[hushed field]

that's true, just depends on how mean the effect is supposed to be, i guess 🤔

[glad osprey]

hypothetically what if i wanted to completely rework how the probability system works

how would i do that

[hushed field]

depends on what you wanna change

[glad osprey]

so like

instead of it just being a number

i want it to instead be a list of modifiers that lead to the current value

[hushed field]

Could you give an example?

[glad osprey]

so likw

[hushed field]

I think I get you, but I'm not sure

[glad osprey]

instead of just 2 it would be

card a would increase the prob by one, then oops would double that

[onyx sonnet]

so you want additive bonuses to the probablity variable to be calculated before the multiplicative ones like oops?

[hushed field]

That's already doable, no? But I see what you mean, wanting to have a system that doesn't make you check every source consistently, to properly reset

[glad osprey]

yea

[glad osprey]

not with the current system i thought

[dapper sun]

how do i make a value change immediately based off a config setting change?

[hushed field]

Ah no I see. Technically you could, but yeah that's just due to math and not due to the code allowing it, haha. I think the main issue is going to be mod compatibility, for such a rewrite

[hushed field]

This should happen automatically already

[dapper sun]

i don't mean the config variable itself

i mean for example a joker's sprite atlas position

[glad osprey]

ah yea true

[hushed field]

Based on a value change? Either you want to add that to update, or you want to change the atlas pos as the value is set. It depends on how you're approaching it

[dapper sun]

ok

[glad osprey]

only issue i have with the current system is that things like oops wouldnt like what i want to do \

[dapper sun]

prob when it's set but idk how i'd do that

[hushed field]

What's the end result you're aiming for?

[dapper sun]

to toggle some jokers between alternate sprites when a config setting is enabled/disabled

[faint yacht]

On such thought, you'd probably want to add a function for such in something that executes every frame.

[dapper sun]

ok

how would i do that?

[zealous glen]

I disagree

You should only need to run a function when setting the config

[hushed field]

Only issue will be that it won't change when you change the setting mid run

[faint yacht]

...could you toggles and such actually execute a function when interacted?
-# I know nil about UI.

There's a func for when a node is drawn.

[hushed field]

They could

[dapper sun]

idea

what if i have a variable that will set itself to the config variable whenever it doesn't match

so that i can have things happen when the variable changes

idk

i think i'll just put the stuff in the calculate function instead to save me some effort

[placid star]

what would be th G.P_Centers for double tag?

[red flower]

G.P_TAGS.tag_double

[maiden wraith]

yo how does one change the sprite of a card dynamically????

[zealous glen]

Try checking Bunco’s tape or Aura

[maiden wraith]

already did

didn't quite help

(imma be honest a friend asked like a few hours ago but we're still stuck on that)

[dapper sun]

set_sprites(self, card, front)

[maiden wraith]

so it is that

[dapper sun]

found it in https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker

[maiden wraith]

thx for telling us for parametters to input

ur the best, we should have looked harder

thx

wait-

[dapper sun]

i've been trying to do a similar thing, but with a config setting. my struggle has been trying to figure out where to put it

[gilded narwhal]

i'm just gonna ss the thing I sent in steamodded chat because I don't wanna flood the chat with a bunch of messages and I don't feel like typing it again

[wintry solar]

I believe telescope code is in the booster definitions in game_object.lua

[gilded narwhal]

In smods?

OH I SEE IT

Because you've overriden it already, me modifying the original does nothing

So to change that would I just call that take_ownership again in my own mod?

THAT WORKED

THANK YOU

[dapper sun]

how do i make this properly place the 3 elements vertically?

return {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm", padding = 0.1, r = .1, emboss = 0.05, no_fill = true}, nodes = {
    {n = G.UIT.C, config = { no_fill = true }, nodes = {
        {n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "hi chat", colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = .5 }},
        create_toggle({
            ref_table = elle_config,
            ref_value = "silly_mode",
            label = "what."
        }),
        {n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "hi again chat", colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = .25 }}
    }}
}}```

[red flower]

Surround each element inside the column node in a row node

separately

[dapper sun]

a

ok

[sturdy compass]

Silly mode?

[dapper sun]

changes some sprites and stuff :p

[sturdy compass]

Ah

[hard needle]

how do i change the cost of an item in the shop?

like i wanna iterate over all items in the shop and modify its cost

[hushed field]

there is a set_cost function, which recalculates an item's cost

[blissful lance]

is there a function called once when the card is loaded in ?

[gilded narwhal]

bump

[hushed field]

not in base game, i think, but you could definitely set this up. I know N has individual joker rarity working in his mod

[midnight coyote]

i just broke 100 hours on this wretched game 😭

[dapper sun]

i'm still at 56 hours

[vast flame]

I wanna add cryptid, can you instruct me, its my first time modding balatro

Yes i have a pc

[sturdy compass]

#⚙・modding-general Would be a better place to ask

[broken rivet]

does table.unpack() not exist for balatro???

because this crashed saying it tried to call a nil value "unpack"

local startRunVanilla = Game.start_run
function Game:start_run(...)
    startRunVanilla(self, table.unpack(arg))

    if G.P_BLINDS.bl_af_final_sword then
        G.P_BLINDS.bl_af_final_sword.mult = 0
    end
end

yep doesn't exist

that is. very annoying

[midnight coyote]

I MADE A PYTHON SCRIPT TO AUTOMATICALLY EXPORT MY SPRITESHEETS AND POPULATE THEM IN THE CORRECT FOLDERS

[gilded narwhal]

trying to add weights to planet cards lmao

[midnight coyote]

how do i grab the current mult

when scoring

[faint yacht]

hand_chips and mult are globals.

[midnight coyote]

how do i center text in ui?

[broken rivet]

is it possible to add save data? i need to make sure a blind's mult value is stored in the player's save data else the blind's gimmick can be cheesed by restarting the game

this is the code for what i'm doing btw

---=== in overrides.lua ===---
-- Also resets Sapphire Sword mult
local resetBlindsVanilla = reset_blinds
function reset_blinds()
    print("reset blinds")

    if G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Boss == "Defeated" then
        if G.P_BLINDS.bl_af_final_sword then
            G.P_BLINDS.bl_af_final_sword.mult = 2
        end
    end

    resetBlindsVanilla()
end

-- Updates Sapphire Sword's mult
local blindPressPlay = Blind.press_play
function Blind:press_play(...)
    print("Updated hand")

    if G.P_BLINDS.bl_af_final_sword and ((not G.GAME.blind.boss) or G.GAME.blind.boss ~= {}) then
        G.P_BLINDS.bl_af_final_sword.mult = G.P_BLINDS.bl_af_final_sword.mult + 0.5
    end

    blindPressPlay(self, ...)
end

---=== final_sword.lua ===---
return {
    name = "af_final_sword",
    key = "final_sword",
    
    atlas = "chips_atlas",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

    dollars = 8,
    boss = {
        min = 8,
        max = 10, -- does nothing
        showdown = true
    },
    boss_colour = HEX("CC7722"),
    discovered = true,

    mult = 2,

    defeat = function(self)
        self.mult = 2
    end,

    -- this is just stolen from cryptid
    disable = function(self, silent)
        G.GAME.blind.chips = get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante) * G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling * 2
        G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)
    end
}

[midnight coyote]

because the cli lets you set scale

for spritesheets

which the gui, conversely, does not let you do

[broken rivet]

usually means you forgot to close some statement

seems like you forgot the joker closing bracket

[midnight coyote]

i don’t see a gray aura ever though

[zealous glen]

It’s only noticeable sometimes

[wind steppe]

there is a closing bracket i just forgot to copy it

[zealous glen]

I think if the sprite doesn’t have a grey border it’s more apparent

[wind steppe]

end part looks like this:

        end
    end
}

[zealous glen]

It’s because Love uses color info of transparent pixels

But Aseprite automatically sets them to black I believe

Firch had a script to fix it

[midnight coyote]

hm

[zealous glen]

Python script

[midnight coyote]

i just made my script because i was getting tired of manually exporting and moving everything

so i’m just gonna make a script that triggers on git commit

[broken rivet]

quickly looked at it, you forgot the end for the calculate function

[midnight coyote]

so that way every time i make and commit a change it moves it around

[zealous glen]

Maybe you can attach Firch’s to it

[midnight coyote]

perhaps

or fork it in somehow

my script isn’t very repo agnostic though

it’s built to work with my file setup

and mine only

and i intend to keep it that way

[maiden wraith]

so my friend and i tried making "stone" cards

basically a variant

[hard needle]

how do you destroy a card 😅

[maiden wraith]

but when we made the cards have no suit and no rank, it didn't quite work...

the rank is still visible when using the tarot...

And when you hover it still has a rank etc

I'm wondering how do u properly make them have no rank and suit?

[dapper sun]

maybe look at vanilla code and see how stone cards work?

[wintry solar]

Add no_rank = true to your enhancement definition

And no_suit = true

[maiden wraith]

we did

but it didn't seem to do enough

[wintry solar]

And probably replace_base_card = true too

[maiden wraith]

thx, we'll take a look at that

Thank you so much

<3 <3 <3

we spend like 3 hours tryinh to find work arounds X)

[wind steppe]

that worked but for some reason it doesn't score, do you know why?

[broken rivet]

i don't

ohhhhh wait

i missed where the end should go

if not card.ability.extra.is_active then
                card.ability.extra.is_active = true
                card.ability.extra.active_msg = "Active"
                return {
                    message = 'Reactivated!',
                    colour = G.C.ATTENTION
                }

this part was missing it, not the calculate function

my bad

[wind steppe]

ty that worked

[runic pecan]

Randomly dropping my latest creation in this channel:

[hard needle]

thats kinda op

[runic pecan]

Technically weaker than Hanging chad but I'll took that as a compliment.

[midnight coyote]

would retriggering a random played card twice be balanced

or should i do thrice so theres incentive to use it over chad

[broken rivet]

np

[runic pecan]

It has to be the third card of five, or the meme won't work.

[midnight coyote]

no i mean

i wanna make something

[hard needle]

eh

that isnt really that good

unless ur playing high card or something

[broken rivet]

also found out how to save stuff

so this works now

[midnight coyote]

how would i balance it to make it good?

retrigger 2 random cards twice?

[blissful lance]

Hi, is there a function that I can use whenever a card is displayed in the full deck ? Because I'm making a dynamically changing sprite and it doesn't update in in there

[gilded narwhal]

how do I do cross-mod compat stuff? like if x mod is active then do y

[zealous glen]

a

[zealous glen]

Idk but try checking out how Paperback does it for Bunco

[thick panther]

Some mods might have their own API like Card Sleeves. For example, card sleeves has CardSleeves that can be called:

if CardSleeves then
    -- Code to run
end

[tall wharf]

chat how do i get the poker hand that's the one displayed

from context ofc

[maiden wraith]

always_scores doesn't seem to work, at all?

Is there something else to activate?

or are we just BAD at the game

[wintry solar]

Show the code

[zealous glen]

If you want it from context, then there should be a context with it. Check the wiki

not a bother nor is it a trivial issue. noticing typos is shockingly hard

[tall wharf]

yea context.poker_hands has all the poker hands a hand contains

[midnight coyote]

strike: Curse your hand, earn $50

[zealous glen]

but there's a context just for the name

scoring_hand maybe? scoring_name?

[wintry solar]

scoring name is correct

[hard needle]

bump after one hour

[tall wharf]

ah

thank

i forgot that was a thing and i kept searching for poker hands

is the scoring name a key

[pulsar flower]

look at how e.g. hanged man does it

[tall wharf]

i'd assume it's a poker hand key

with prefix and allat

[zealous glen]

I think it's just a name for the vanilla ones

with spaces and all that

[thick panther]

How do I get the current score and blind's required score?

[tall wharf]

i mean

localization issue...

i guess i am making it the base mult

🔥

[broken rivet]

well this broke every joker rather than triggering matador

-- Solely responsible for making Sapphire Sword trigger Matador.
local calcJokerVanilla = Card.calculate_joker
function Card:calculate_joker(...)
    -- get context arg
    local args = {...}
    local context = args[1]

    if context.cardarea == G.play
        and context.after 
        and self.ability.name == 'Matador'
        and G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss.name == "Sapphire Sword"
    then 
        ease_dollars(self.ability.extra)
        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + self.ability.extra
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = (function() G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0; return true end)}))
        return {
            message = localize('$')..self.ability.extra,
            dollars = self.ability.extra,
            colour = G.C.MONEY
        }
    end

    calcJokerVanilla(self, ...)
end

no joker effect is triggered with very few exceptions

like burnt joker still triggers

[gusty peak]

you didnt return original function result

[broken rivet]

oh

oop

[hard needle]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() and SMODS.in_scoring(context.other_card, context.scoring_hand) then
            context.other_card:start_dissolve({G.C.ORANGE}, true)
        end

this doesn't individually destroy the cards, it destroys them all at once D: how do i fix this

[gusty peak]

put it into an Event

[heavy hare]

i'm getting this error: msg = string: "engine/node.lua:270: attempt to index field 'h_popup_config' (a boolean value)"

and it's coming from this

blind_sprite.config.h_popup_config = {
align = 'cl',
offset = { x = -0.1, y = 0 },
parent = blind_sprite
} -- blind sprite is an AnimatedSprite

what does this mean

[hard needle]

@gusty peak like this?

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() and SMODS.in_scoring(context.other_card, context.scoring_hand) then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event({
                trigger='after',
                delay=0.1,
                func = function()
                    context.other_card:start_dissolve({G.C.ORANGE}, true)
                    return true
                end,
                blocking=true
            })

        end

[gusty peak]

i think blocking should do it, try it

[tall wharf]

why is this not working

[gusty peak]

do you set it anywhere to be a boolean value accidentally?

[gusty peak]

try just ease_dollars(-y.mult)

[hard needle]

huhhh

[gusty peak]

its `Event({}) not just {}

[heavy hare]

still looking, i'm guessing a reassignment is the only way this could be a bool?

[hard needle]

oh yeah i forgot 😭

[gusty peak]

im not sure

[tall wharf]

😭???

[gusty peak]

wha?

[tall wharf]

i think returning dollars is better solution for calculations

[icy oak]

are the stuff inside the brackets in the example just to fill space or do they mean something

this is from the wiki for contexts

[tall wharf]

example of the context object for that context

[icy oak]

soo the G.jokers and G.play.cards?

[gusty peak]

does dollars do anything for blinds tho?

[icy oak]

or context dot the stuff on the left

[gusty peak]

api doesnt even say there calculate for blinds

[red flower]

it's new it's still not documented

[wintry solar]

This

[hard needle]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card:is_face() and SMODS.in_scoring(context.other_card, context.scoring_hand) then
            print("I should be destroyed")
            m = context.other_card
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger='after',
                delay=0.1,
                func = function()
                    m:start_dissolve({G.C.ORANGE}, true)
                    return true
                end,
                blocking=true
            }))

        end

it only destroys 1 card ruefjdhgfbg

[icy oak]

oh ic

[gusty peak]

is m a local variable?

if its not you should put local before it

[hard needle]

if i do it won't be recognized in the event func

[gusty peak]

it will

its called a closure

[hard needle]

ok thank you it finally works ahrfbejfhnsb

[bright axle]

what are the keys to generate planet cards?

[rugged pier]

bump

[gusty peak]

what are quantum enhancements?

that doesnt sound vanilla

[gusty peak]

c_<planet_card_name>

[hushed field]

Quantum enhancements allow a joker to have the effect of 'three random cards held in hand count as gold cards', or 'steel cards also count as wild cards'. You do this by passing the desired enhancement's key during the specific context that's set up for it, iirc (I'm not sure on the details but I can check in a few minutes).

[rugged pier]

gotcha, yeah i wanted to implement that but i didnt see a way to apply it in code unless im just stupid

[hushed field]

Buuut, I'm not sure what the current state of 'm is. They're finicky because the vanilla Balatro implementation of enhancements basically makes it impossible to check for suit or rank during quantum enhancement checks. I haven't tried to set it up since last month, but it gave me a lot of very hard to trace bugs. I think Cryptid's got a branch set up for their own implementation because of similar reasons

But I'm not sure if that's a valid warning still

[rugged pier]

i just need any unenhanced card to give a random enhancement

so i dont need to check for suit or ranks

[bright axle]

so if i want to creata planet hand basedd on played hand whould this work as a dict?
local hand_type_map = {
['High Card'] = 'c_pluto',
['Pair'] = 'c_mercury',
['Two Pair'] = 'c_uranus',
['Three of a Kind'] = 'c_venus',
['Straight'] = 'c_saturn',
['Flush'] = 'c_jupiter',
['Full House'] = 'c_earth',
['Four of a Kind'] = 'c_mars',
['Straight Flush'] = 'c_neptune',
['Flush House'] = 'c_ceres',
['Five of a Kind'] = 'c_planet_x'
}

[shell timber]

check how blue seal does it

[gusty peak]

well, ye but not for modded hands

[thick panther]

I need the chipsAdd and multAdd variables to be updated before the return statement. Currently, they are getting updated, but the return statuement is using the old values (before calculation). How do I fix that?

if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then

            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function ()
               
                    -- Calculate chips
                    local remainingScore = G.GAME.blind.chips - G.GAME.chips

                    -- Ensure score is not negative
                    if remainingScore < 0 then remainingScore = 0 end

                    card.ability.extra.chipsAdd = card.ability.extra.chipsAdd + remainingScore * (card.ability.extra.chipPerc / 100)

                    -- Calculate mult
                    card.ability.extra.multAdd = card.ability.extra.multAdd + 
                    ((G.GAME.current_round.hands_played + G.GAME.current_round.discards_used) / card.ability.extra.multDiv)

                    return true
                end
            }))

            return {
                card = card,
                chips = card.ability.extra.chipsAdd,
                mult = card.ability.extra.multAdd
            }

        end

[bright axle]

and how whould i create card based on the most played hand?

[hushed field]

Check how Telescope does it in celestial packs

[bright axle]

how/where can i see it?

[crystal perch]

it's in card.lua of balatro itself

[hushed field]

It's in the source code, or your lovely dump, depending on whether you want patched or non-patched code to look at

[crystal perch]

it sets _planet to the planet card corresponding to your most played hand then creates it with card = create_card("Planet", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, _planet, 'pl1')

if you want to get it directly you'd have to use emplace_card

[rugged pier]

is it because enhancement checks are done before suit/rank checks?

for the purposes of a stone card im assuming?

[gusty peak]

local planet = nil
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet) do
  if v.config.hand_type == hand then
    planet = v.key
  end
end

_card = {set = "Planet", area = G.pack_cards, skip_materialize = true, soulable = true, key = _planet, key_append = "pl1"}

found this in SMODS code

[hushed field]

The quantum enhancement is set then, yeah, it creates infinite loops in which ranks and suits are continuously turned off and on, so it's just disabled as an option, iirc

[crystal perch]

i have an issue of my own i need some help with, trying to make these enchanced cards have a chance to destroy themselves and as you can see from the video the code for the message "Extinguished!" does trigger but not the destroy function

[rugged pier]

ah i see

[gusty peak]

cause you didnt detroy card, youre asking if youre in destroying card context, and youre not, cause you didnt destroy it, you should do card:start_dissolve(dissolve_colours, silent, dissolve_time_fac, no_juice)

when chance procked

[primal robin]

Just make tag or use info_queue

[hushed field]

During a blind, it's generally a bad idea for anything to call start_dissolve on a playing card

[crystal perch]

which context would i put this in

[hushed field]

There is a destroy context specifically for destroying cards that'll make sure cards are properly destroyed. Using start_dissolve will create ghost entries in G.playing_cards

[crystal perch]

yeah i'm looking in the game code, specifically Sixth Sense, and it looks like it just calls context.destroying_card

[maiden wraith]

is there a way to detect if the player got $ other than checking every frame?

trying to make something that activates each time you get $$$

[hushed field]

Hook ease_dollars

[maiden wraith]

smart

had no idea you could hook stuff

[blissful lance]

you can do that 💀?

[dapper sun]

how do i make my joker's probability in the description change based on if it's rigged, without making the mod require cryptid??

[maiden wraith]

life saver

[hushed field]

Yup! Though this happens after scoring, so you need to do all scoring related stuff before this context triggers

[maiden wraith]

we love u

[hushed field]

Yes, that's the beauty of Lua

[crystal perch]

yeah i do the problem is the destroy isn't destroying 😭

[crystal perch]

code up here

[hushed field]

I'll give it a look!

[crystal perch]

[hushed field]

I think all you're doing wrong is not returning 'remove = true'

[rugged pier]

@hushed field have you used quantum enhancements in any of your jokers

[hushed field]

I'd also personally recommend swapping the order of the random check and the context check if statements

[hushed field]

No, I couldn't get it to work without breaking is_face in all circumstances, but I don't know if that's still an issue

[crystal perch]

oh yeah that fixed it

[rugged pier]

gotcha

[crystal perch]

for playing cards at least i have to see if that happens with jokers now

[hushed field]

I'm not sure jokers are checked in that context

[crystal perch]

yeah that's the thing

testing it now

ok the jokers just don't retrigger at all so gotta fix that

[hushed field]

Did you make that shader yourself, btw?

[crystal perch]

stole it from steamodded and flipped some values around

ideally it'd actually look like the card was on fire but idk anything about shaders lol

[midnight coyote]

what are the blind sprite dimensions

[hushed field]

Very few people here do, haha

[hushed field]

34x34

[midnight coyote]

can i get away with any multiple of this

[hushed field]

No clue! Sorry

[crystal perch]

here's all the blinds if you want

you should be able to get away with any resolution so long as it follows something like this atlas

(and has a 1x & 2x ofc)

[hushed field]

i wish i'd been smart and just opted for symbols for blinds like vanilla, damn

[maiden wraith]

Our idea was that a voucher would add +$1 to EVERY source of income. So, could we technically "replace" the function ease_dollars with an exact copy but a constant +1 to the amount? I'm basically asking if that's a good idea or if we should pivot to another option.

[hushed field]

you don't want to replace it. Are you familiar with how hooking works, btw? Before I start explaining stuff you're already using, haha

but basically, I'd just set up a hook that checks for the voucher, if it's present and the mod is positive, increase it by 1, then just call the base func

[maiden wraith]

I see your idea

Much better than ours X)

Thx a lot

[hushed field]

Only issue this will create is that I don't think the additional money will be accounted for in any buffers 🤔

[midnight coyote]

i made a script that automatically exports my .aseprite files

does anyone want it

to kind of modify to work with their thing

[hushed field]

Oh, I'm definitely interested

[blissful lance]

we are beginners in this domain, how does one hook a function ?

[hushed field]

I still need to set aseprite up to deal with this alpha/colour issue

[maiden wraith]

tutorials weren't very, tutorial-ly

[midnight coyote]

it scans for every .aseprite file and goes down the list

[hushed field]

[zealous glen]

How do I make a context such that a calculate function can manipulate the context that is passed onwards?

[midnight coyote]

until it's exported each one in 1x and 2x

[zealous glen]

I'm thinking of a context to manipulate pools

[hushed field]

very useful, thanks! You might wanna post this in #1349064230825103441 as well, just as a place to gather resources

[midnight coyote]

its very particular, ill have to make a tutorial on the file setup

it has to be in a very certain way to work right

[hushed field]

what do you mean? As in a context that intercepts and changes other contexts?

[zealous glen]

A context that intercepts a table, lets effects change it, then passes that table forward

[midnight coyote]

additionally, this script only works for unix based operating systems

[zealous glen]

Script that only works for universe-based universes

So if you're in another universe it doesn't work

[hushed field]

does smods.calculate not allow you to pass along a table that it can edit?

[zealous glen]

I think SMODS.calculate_context allows passing a return table, but it's not exactly what I want

I think

[midnight coyote]

showdown blind idea: curses every card played

[rugged pier]

from what i have, no mods are using quantum enhancements 😔

[rugged pier]

what does a curse do

[midnight coyote]

if you play the card 3 times, it debuffs itself

[zealous glen]

that seems like a bad Showdown Boss Blind idea

[midnight coyote]

ykw

was thinking that

[zealous glen]

since it's when th game ends

[midnight coyote]

on an 8 ante run

yeah

[steady smelt]

how do i change the center sprite of a base game enhancement? through mods not just replacing the sprite sheet
and i can't use a texture pack or anything, i have a function for it to dynamically change

[midnight coyote]

ill make it a regular boss blind

its a fucking evil boss blind

but itll be fun to work with

[crystal perch]

debuffs highest played hand

[midnight coyote]

what about a boss blind that debuffs enhanced cards

[zealous glen]

It's not f*cking evil

It's just normal

[midnight coyote]

i call it evil because i would dread it's existence

because it pretty much seals the fate of cards you play

and goes over any enhancements

[crystal perch]

it's only bad if you heavily rely on a few cards in particular

the worst part is they don't remove themselves from the deck when debuffed

[midnight coyote]

thats the point

its supposed to make dead weight

[zealous glen]

when The Rock

[midnight coyote]

think imma call the blind 'The Eye'

ill make the ID like 'eye_astropulvis' so it doesnt intersect with any other 'The Eye's

because i feel like there would be multiple

[steady smelt]

the eye exists in base game

[midnight coyote]

oh

nvm then

fuck

[steady smelt]

it's no repeat hand types

[midnight coyote]

oh right

[zealous glen]

SMODS already adds your prefixes

[midnight coyote]

what would work instead

[midnight coyote]

ah

what if i called it 'The Seer'

[zealous glen]

Except for Consumable Types

[midnight coyote]

a seer is a person who is believed to see into the future

and cursed cards dont activate, until the future

it works

[maiden wraith]

hook = ease_dollars,
  ease_dollars = function(mod, instant)
    local card_ability = card and card.ability or self.config
    if(card_ability.extra.isRedeemed) then
      local out = ease_dollars(mod, instant)
      print("hook called")
      return out
    end
  end,

why is the hook not hooking

[tall wharf]

right this is also

[midnight coyote]

well i’m still doing it

[hushed field]

Change the ease_dollars within the function to hook(mod, instant)

[maiden wraith]

thx you

we love u

[tall wharf]

i should make the blind say nope when it's trying to be debuffed

[zinc forum]

Ok so, anyone knows how the draw(self, card, layer) function of SMODS.Joker works? I have a very silly Joker idea that would need to be aligned to the bottom and not centered

(Or if anyone knows of a mod using it so I can look at the code)

[midnight coyote]

well cursed cards have some value to be kept because certain things can ‘purify’ them, giving them amazing new stats

[gusty iron]

is there anyway to dynamically change a joker's sprite?

[midnight coyote]

basically steel, mult, and bonus all at once

[zinc forum]

card.center:set_sprite_pos({ x ,y }) I believe, with x and y being spots on your atlas (same params as pos)

[gusty iron]

oh okay

[zinc forum]

Wait hold up it might be for the soul x)

[gusty iron]

sob emoji

[zinc forum]

card.center:set_sprite_pos should be it

[faint yacht]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = <xpos>, y = <ypos>}) for changing the base appearance of the Joker.

[tall wharf]

yay

[zinc forum]

Gah so close, my bad

[maiden wraith]

sorry it still doesn't seem to work, maybe the problem is where we placed the hook? Does that matter????

[sturdy compass]

hook location really shouldn't matter

[faint yacht]

...where are you getting card or self from?

[gusty iron]

fnnuy

[tall wharf]

/shrug

[violet oasis]

Does the order I patch things in matter? I noticed sometimes I can't patch in simple things like a colour change for a UI element like the reroll button or the play hand button and I can't figure out why.

The log doesn't mention the pattern not being found and if I remove it, the total patches done to the file decreases, so I know it's been patched correctly

Like for instance, this one:

[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/UI_definitions.lua"
pattern = '''local play_button = {n=G.UIT.C, config={id = 'play_button', align = "tm", minw = 2.5, padding = 0.3, r = 0.1, hover = true, colour = G.C.BLUE, button = "play_cards_from_highlighted", one_press = true, shadow = true, func = 'can_play'}, nodes={'''
position = "at"
payload = '''local play_button = {n=G.UIT.C, config={id = 'play_button', align = "tm", minw = 2.5, padding = 0.3, r = 0.1, hover = true, colour = G.C.RED, button = "play_cards_from_highlighted", one_press = true, shadow = true, func = 'can_play'}, nodes={'''
match_indent = true```

[midnight coyote]

whats the context for held in hand

[faint yacht]

Card held in held abilities?

if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card

[midnight coyote]

yeah

alright, cool

im making something that can do things if it's held in hand and if it's played

[gilded narwhal]

uncommon or common?

Disables the boss blind and gives X10 Mult on finishers but is otherwise very weak

[faint yacht]

Disabling boss blinds is already done as Legendary by Chicot... the X10 Mult makes more sense for Boss Blinds.

[gilded narwhal]

I mean this is specifically for the ante 8 boss blind tho

[midnight coyote]

this triggers whenever i select a card too

[faint yacht]

-# Bizarre.

[midnight coyote]

made it work

it needs to be

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

[tired marsh]

does anybody know why i keep getting this crash?

using card.ability.extra.pinata just doesn't work for me, and neither does card.ability.extra

i'm confused what i'm doing wrong as i've cross referenced a lot of different code from ppl with similar issues

ik i shouldn't rlly assign card.ability.extra.pinata at 27 but if i don't the code at 36 says i'm trying to compare zero to a 'nil' value, despite the fact that pinata is set to 1

[tall wharf]

did u start a new run

[tired marsh]

i did not

is it initialized once the joker is created?

[tall wharf]

are you using the same joker in the same run

[tall wharf]

values are yeah

[tired marsh]

alr, respawning the joker worked

tyvm, i felt like i was going insane lmao

[zealous glen]

I don't like it for the same reason I don't like Chicot

I'd do Uncommon or Rare because I think this particular effect is boring enough it should be rarer, even if it's not that strong

[tall wharf]

uhh uhm what if my finisher blinds can't be disabled

[midnight coyote]

gains 0.1x mult for every cursed card in the deck

[zealous glen]

name?

[tall wharf]

that looks cursed as hell

[midnight coyote]

hmm no idea

i figured i would make a joker that could benefit from cursed cards

defo rare

[tall wharf]

can you purposefully get a cursed card

[maiden phoenix]

If I curse someone do I give out 0.1x mult?

[midnight coyote]

no

[midnight coyote]

there’s ritual cards that curse cards in exchange for other things

cursed cards are very rarely good things, but i figured it would be interesting to give it a shot

because, mult or not, they still disable themselves after a bit

lol i could make a voucher that curses a random card at the end of the round but it's level 2 version purifies every cursed card in your hand after you play a hand

or a random card at the end of the hand

what are the voucher dimensions

[faint yacht]

Same as most "cards", really - 71x95... but the actual voucher occupies 59x93.

Hi

[vast flame]

I need some help here

[spiral hawk]

i don't know if this is already done tbh

[midnight coyote]

i wonder how hard it would be to mod in joker upgrades

like you can upgrade four fingers to three fingers

[tall wharf]

that one in particular doesn't sound easy

[vast flame]

Is anyone gonna help me here or what

[spiral hawk]

i mean, it's my first time prototyping something

[midnight coyote]

like turn one joker into a different one

if a condition is fulfilled

but have the different joker be inaccessible otherwise

[maiden wraith]

ez stuff but we can't seem to figure it out, how to set the mod icon?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.Atlas{key = "modicon", path = "modicon.png", px = 32, py = 32} should be enough.

[maiden wraith]

thanks

uh

and if it's not ;-;

wait

said nothing love u <3

actually no

womp

doesn't work ;-;

[faint yacht]

What's the file name of the actual image you'd want to assign as the icon and is it at the root of assets/1x and assets/2x respectively?

[maiden wraith]

it is

and the file is called modicon.png

[maiden wraith]

and that piece of code is in main.lua

[faint yacht]

Try different names for said file.

[maiden wraith]

we good chat

some obscure shit with visual code studio

[spiral hawk]

i don't know why i'm doing a joker based on cynthoni/sewerslvt's stuff

[dapper sun]

how do i check if a given joker's unlocked?

[faint yacht]

<card>.config.center.unlocked iirc.

[dapper sun]

ty

[gusty iron]

my planet cards are so fire 🔥

[rugged pier]

what is the variable to check for how many times a poker hand has been played

nvm got it

G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played

[golden elm]

what does the odds value mean? is a higher odd harder to obtain?

[faint yacht]

Yes.

[gusty iron]

can someone tell me whats wrong with this code?

SMODS.Consumable{
    key = "c_quaoar",
    set = "Planet",
    loc_txt = "Quaoar",
    atlas = "Planets",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 3,
    pools = {
        ["Default"] = true,
        ["Planet"] = true
    },
    discovered = false,
    unlocked = true,
    config = {},
    use = function(self, card, area)
        -- Define behavior of the card here
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return true
    end,
    set_badges = function(self, card, badges)
        badges[#badges+1] = create_badge("Three Pair", G.C.BLUE, G.C.WHITE, 1.2)
    end
}

it says its trying to index "center"

[bright axle]

how do you test ur mods?

[gusty iron]

put them in the mod folder

[bright axle]

i mean if you have a joker how do you force it to apear?

[gusty peak]

Theres DebugPlus mod

[tall kestrel]

You could make a custom deck or something no?

[gusty peak]

Thats overkill lmao

[gusty iron]

could i also get help with this?

nevermind i fixed it

my loc_text was off

[gusty peak]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus

[gusty iron]

how would i make a planet card level up a hand?

[faint yacht]

function level_up_hand(card, hand, instant, amount)

[gusty iron]

do i put that inside of the use() function?

[formal parrot]

Or maybe ULTRAKILL

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-gabriel-gabriel-ultrakill-lord-have-mercy-gif-17360988888279922777

[gusty iron]

what does instant do

[gusty peak]

Wont play animation if true i think

[gusty iron]

oh

okay

[faint yacht]

ye.

[gusty iron]

my planet cards are so peak

[gusty peak]

Damn

[gusty iron]

so like

would the use function look like this

    use = function(self, card, area)
        level_up_hand(card, "Three Pair", false, 1)
    end,

or do i need to put the key

[faint yacht]

Ye.

[midnight coyote]

how would i potentially apply an enhancement to an entire hand

[gusty iron]

it crashed my game 😭

[gusty peak]

You loop over all cards in hand and apply emhancement to each

[faint yacht]

Logs.

[midnight coyote]

and how perhaps would i do that

i dont need a whole code block btw just some pointers could be helpfuk

i really only need to know how to grab the number of cards in hand

[gusty peak]

for i=1,#G.hand.cards do
  G.hand.cards[i]:...
end

[midnight coyote]

many thanks

and then when a hand isnt in play will #G.hand.cards return 0 or nil

wait

dumb question

if its asking for the number of

itll return 0

[faint yacht]

What's the exact line in your lovely/dump/functions/common_events.lua?

[gusty iron]

how do i access that

[gusty peak]

id be safe and check if G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND

[gusty iron]

nvm

[gusty iron]

G.GAME.hands[hand].level = math.max(0, G.GAME.hands[hand].level + amount)

[faint yacht]

What's your mod prefix?

[midnight coyote]

alr

[gusty iron]

JCJ

why?

[faint yacht]

You need to pass the key of the hand with the modprefix_ before it, as it is a modded one.

[gusty peak]

so "JSJ_threepair"

[faint yacht]

Ye.

[midnight coyote]

okay how do i add money

[gusty peak]

ease_dollars(amount)

[gusty iron]

okay peak

[midnight coyote]

alr

[gusty iron]

lets see if this workd

[rugged pier]

for k, v in ipairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                print(v)
            end
``` why is this not printing anything

[faint yacht]

pairs?

[rugged pier]

let me try

[red flower]

pairs instead of ipairs

[rugged pier]

ah

[gusty iron]

small issue

[rugged pier]

(whats the difference)

[red flower]

ipairs is for an indexed table (array)

[gusty peak]

oh hang on

[zealous glen]

@red flower will you be adding Ravedactyl Elemental Hero Air Neos to Joyous Spring

[rugged pier]

ah

[gusty iron]

also is Dwarf Planets a set or a pool

[red flower]

adding what? I don't know a card with that name

[onyx sonnet]

It's just a custom label, all the planet cards are part of the same set iirc

[zealous glen]

Big Ravedactyl got to N’ first v_v

[gusty iron]

how do i add it to my planet cards

[faint yacht]

Do you want to replace the regular "Planet" text?

[gusty peak]

update_hand_text({ sound = "button", volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3 }, {
  handname = localize("JCJ_threepair", "poker_hands"),
  chips = G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].chips,
  mult = G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].mult,
  level = G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].level,
})
level_up_hand(card, "JCJ_threepair", false, 1)
delay(0.1)
update_hand_text(
  { sound = "button", volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },
  { mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = "", level = "" }
)

[gusty iron]

put that inside of the use function?

[gusty peak]

ye

[gusty iron]

also its JCJ

not JSJ

[gusty peak]

aight

[faint yacht]

set_badges = function(self, card, badges)
  badges[1] = create_badge(localize('k_your_string'), G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Planet, G.C.WHITE, 1.2 )
end

[gusty peak]

its weird that smods still doesnt just have a util function for that

[gusty iron]

i should totally define it

dang

embed fail

there we go

[gusty peak]

function level_up_poker_hand(hand, amount)
  update_hand_text({ sound = "button", volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3 }, {
    handname = localize(hand, "poker_hands"),
    chips = G.GAME.hands[hand].chips,
    mult = G.GAME.hands[hand].mult,
    level = G.GAME.hands[hand].level,
  })
  level_up_hand(card, hand, false, amount)
  delay(0.1)
  update_hand_text(
    { sound = "button", volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },
    { mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = "", level = "" }
end

something like that

[gusty peak]

whos andrew

[gusty iron]

the joker that lets you play 6 cards

[gusty peak]

ye i just figured

[faint yacht]

Just keep in mind that other mods could influence the card selection limit, if Andrew Required is to go off by.

[gusty iron]

i removed it, as i was playing around with badges to see how they worked

[gusty peak]

i was thinking about that, and maybe you should first check if another mod before you set the button function to "play_from_highlighted", like call the original functio first, and if not tehn do your check for andrew

so no compatibiity issues

[gusty iron]

so small issue

the text kinda

flickers?

[red flower]

I wouldn't worry about compatibility too much because smods is adding a way to change played hand size natively soon

[tall kestrel]

Jr what is the "Fuller house"?

[gusty iron]

4 + 2

[tall kestrel]

ok

[gusty peak]

what about, separately amount of cards you can discard and amount of cards you can play?

[gusty iron]

more explimation, it doesnt show until the adding is done

[gusty peak]

is that handled

[red flower]

yeah
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/626

[gusty iron]

heres my entire use function:

use = function(self, card, area)
        level_up_hand(card, "JCJ_threepair", false, 1)
update_hand_text({ sound = "button", volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3 }, {
            handname = "Three Pair",
            chips = G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].chips,
            mult = G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].mult,
            level = G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].level,
        })
        delay(0.1)
        update_hand_text(
            { sound = "button", volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0 },
            { mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = "", level = "" }
        )
    end,

[gusty peak]

oh sick

[gusty peak]

you should put level up hand after the update_hand_text

[gusty iron]

yeah i inda

figured

[bright axle]

how do you check if a joker is negative?

[gusty iron]

also can i just get like

the description text of a planet

[gusty peak]

if card.edition.negative then
  -- do stuff
end

[red flower]

you should check for card.edition and card.edition.negative

edition could be nil

[gusty peak]

fair

[runic pecan]

Is it OK to use SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'c_base') to check unenhanced card or do I need to do the whole v.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.c_base thing?

[bright axle]

-- Find consumable non-eternal and non-negative jokers (can consume legendaries)
for _, j in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
    if j ~= card and not j.ability.eternal and not ( j.edition and j.edition.negative ) then
        table.insert(valid_jokers, j)
    end
end

is this ok?

[gusty peak]

the util function is for convinience so ye

[gusty iron]

bump

also making sure, the atlas pixel padding is 1 right

[gilded narwhal]

guys how would I use the config of another mod in my mod

Bc this doesn't work

[gusty peak]

theres no padding

[gusty peak]

also what do you mean

[gusty iron]

liek the uh

[faint yacht]

Check if they have a global for their mod somewhere.

[gilded narwhal]

I mean PB_UTIL seems to be a global

[gusty iron]

(lvl. X) Level up
[HAND]
+X Mult
+X Chips

[faint yacht]

SMODS.Mods["paperback"].config?

[gusty iron]

what would the base code be for that

[gusty peak]

thats what the update_hand_text does

[red flower]

your mod should have later priority than paperback

[gilded narwhal]

oooohh its prolly that then

[midnight coyote]

can i have an enhancement do something if it's enhancement gets changed

[gusty iron]

for the planet card desc

[midnight coyote]

because i want cursed cards to refuse to be enhanced in any way other than being purified

if you try to enhance it in a different way it just debuffs itself

[gusty peak]

oh, heres example from vanilla

[gusty iron]

oh

what are the variables??

just loc_vars?

[gusty peak]

you define them in the config, and expose in loc_vars

those

actually

and #2, would be localize("JCJ_threepair", "poker_hands")

[gusty iron]

i dont have a localization table for it yet so

im just putting "Three Pair"

[gusty peak]

sure

[dapper sun]

how do i unlock a joker from another joker's actions?

[faint yacht]

Passing G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].level, G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].l_chips G.GAME.hands["JCJ_threepair"].l_mult through, though?

[gusty iron]

its saying GAME is nill

so like

what do i do :(

[gusty peak]

that doesnt make sense

show planet definition

[gusty iron]

SMODS.Consumable{
    key = "c_orcus",

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
  return { vars = {  G.GAME.hands["JCJ_fullerhouse"].level, G.GAME.hands["JCJ_fullerhouse"].l_mult, G.GAME.hands["JCJ_fullerhouse"].l_chips} }
end

Don't forget that the 2nd arg is the "name" of the poker hand.

[bright axle]

to use a variable inside of config extra is card.ability.extra.variable?

[gusty iron]

i just predefined it in the description

JIPPIE

now i just need the uh

{V:1} table

[steady smelt]

is there any way to combine multiple images into one sprite in-code? not setting separate sprites but specifically only rendering one sprite that's composed of multiple things

[bright axle]

read the atlas config

you just set up the card size and the a grid of x and y is used to navigate it

[gusty iron]

can someone please give me this

for the levelling

[steady smelt]

that is not what i asked

[faint yacht]

If your "frames" are aligned on the atlas, you can change the currently shown "frame" on the fly by

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = 0, y = 0}) -- for base card, change x and y accordingly.
card.children.floating_sprite:set_sprite_pos({x = 0, y = 0}) -- for floating sprite (or soul_pos) instead

[steady smelt]

that is also not what i asked
