[lucid owl]

why is this never being reached? i'm trying to index every joker and add ones with the Food pool (used in many mods) to a list

maybe i need to structure it differently

[red flower]

G.jokers is a cardarea, G.jokers.cards is a list of cards in the area

[thick panther]

nvm figured it out:

For anyone looking for it:

card.sell_cost = num

[lucid owl]

well, how would i loop through every joker in general? i don't need just the jokers in the player's inventory

this is for a tag that will add a random joker from the Food pool

[red flower]

keep in mind this might get ovewritten by something calling set_cost

[lucid owl]

but i need to do all this indexing because vanilla food jokers exist without that pool

[red flower]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker

[thick panther]

True. Is there a better way of doing this? I want to set the sell cost to a var in the joker.

[red flower]

you can change extra_cost instead or hook/patch set_cost

[tall wharf]

i discovered that i am fucked

[thick panther]

How did you get a custom font?

[tall wharf]

#1248865517112918016

[lucid owl]

perfect, thanks!

[red flower]

i should add a custom font to my mod to display the ☆s

[hard needle]

why do i always have to re-discover my jokesr

[spiral hawk]

FINALLY LMAO

[sonic cedar]

is there a command that lets me spawn a joker into the current shop? trying to see if it renders properly but without the shop

[plain apex]

if there is that would also be helpful for showing off jokers that do something the moment you buy them as well lol

like to show off this one i just kept giving myself uncommon tags and rerolling until i found it in shop lol

[sonic cedar]

yeah the thing with mine is the way its sprite is set up you cant load it in the collection so i wanted to spawn it instead

but idk how debug mode does it so i cant just tinker my way to a functioning command

[crisp coral]

smods add card with area shop jokers

[tired wharf]

How would I recreate the "Upgraded!" effect that the hiker does but in a consumable

[plain apex]

something like this perhaps but changed for chips?

SMODS.Consumable{
    key = 'Popcorn',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 3, y = 21},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Popcorn',
        text = {
            'Split {C:mult}+20{} permanent Mult across {C:attention}all selected cards{}',
        }
    },
    config = {
        extra = {} -- No selection limit needed
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {}}
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return G and G.hand and G.hand.highlighted and #G.hand.highlighted > 0
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        if G and G.hand and G.hand.highlighted and #G.hand.highlighted > 0 then
            -- Calculate split multiplier
            local split_mult = math.floor(20 / #G.hand.highlighted)

            for _, target_card in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
                -- Apply split permanent multiplier
                target_card.ability.perma_mult = (target_card.ability.perma_mult or 0) + split_mult

                -- Juice-up effect for feedback
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        target_card:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
    end,
}

[sonic cedar]

so like
SMODS.add_card{ key = "my_joker", area = G.shop}

-# please for the love of god tell me i pressed OFF

[wintry solar]

put SMODS.calculate_effect({message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), colour = G.C.BLUE}, G.hand.highlighted[1]) in your use function, assuming you are upgrading the first selected card

[crisp coral]

you did not

eval SMODS.add_card{ key = "my_joker", area = G.shop_jokers}

[plain apex]

oh i thought they meant the actual effect (perm chips)

[crisp coral]

in a different program replace the key then throw all that into the console

[thin anchor]

is this right for adding a vanilla shader to a joker

[tired wharf]

I think im gonna use this one thanks!

[tranquil cypress]

I think adding unlocked = true or discovered = true to your joker makes it discovered even if you are on a new save

[plain apex]

unlocked is if you can find it discovered is if you have seen it

like how you gotta unlock blueprint by winning a game to find it

[tranquil cypress]

oh I see, thanks!

[midnight coyote]

how do i make a consumable appear in 2 pools at once

like how black hole is in planetand spectrals if i’m not mistaken

and how soul is in tarot and spectral

[thin anchor]

ok how about this

[hard needle]

the thing is im not on a new save

[lucid owl]

how do you make a legendary joker not show up in the soul?

[spiral hawk]

do i replace the "scored_hand" with "full_hand"?

[tall wharf]

is this a good boss

[blissful lance]

Hi, is there a way to access to all of the registered jokers in the game ?

[spiral hawk]

i tried it with a full hand, but, it didn't work

[shell timber]

seems kind of funny but ultimately useless

[tall wharf]

i mean

[lucid owl]

bump

[tall wharf]

certain enhancements do kinda want to be at the end

or some cards might want to be the first

[gusty iron]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and #context.scoring_hand % 2 == 0 then
            return{
                card = card,
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                message = 'X'..card.ability.extra.Xmult.." Mult",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        else
            return{
                card = card,
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.jmult,
                message = '+'..card.ability.extra.jmult.." Mult",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end,

can someone help me with this? it should work fine, but it keeps on saying mult is nil

[tall wharf]

what the old calc

[red flower]

whats the issue

[tall wharf]

just replace every return with { xmult = whatever } and { mult = whatever }

messages are automatically added

[gusty iron]

wait did something update

[spiral hawk]

i tried to play the ace of hearts in a full hand (two pair, pair, straight, etc.), but it doesn't work and it only works with high card

[tall wharf]

are you using steamodded 1304b

for w/e reason

[hard needle]

situational

[red flower]

works for me

[hard needle]

90% of the time its useless probably

[tall wharf]

just makes it a bit annoying

[gusty iron]

how do i check the version of smods im using

[red flower]

top right corner of the main menu

[tall wharf]

which case

[tall wharf]

you can just return the xmult and mult

[spiral hawk]

calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.joker_main then for _, full_hand in ipairs(context.full_hand) do if scored_card:get_id() == 14 and scored_card:is_suit("Hearts") then return { xmult = 3 } end

[tall wharf]

what you wrote is kinda outdated stuff

[midnight coyote]

aiko

is it like this

[spiral hawk]

i don't know what i'm doing at this point

[red flower]

you changed the name of the variable to full_hand but then you're still using scored_card

[wintry solar]

bad logic too

[gusty iron]

whenever i try to use the joker, the game crashes and this happens

[red flower]

you want something like this

if context.joker_main then
    for _, played_card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        if played_card:get_id() == 14 and played_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
            return {
                xmult = 3
            }
        end
    end
end

I recommend reading some lua basics too

[spiral hawk]

Tbf, this is my first time using Lua

[gusty iron]

.

oh my god im an idiot

i forgot to check if the joker was being used

[red flower]

wdym

[gusty iron]

so i did

joker_main and even hand

[hard needle]

is there a way to just get the suit of a card, rather than having to use is_suit

[gusty iron]

and i ljust slapped on an else

[red flower]

card.base.suit

[gusty iron]

without checking if it was just the second condition being false

[red flower]

oh yeah

[gusty iron]

fixed it with an elseif 👍

[tall wharf]

ami being too generous with the base chips

[gusty iron]

.

WHAT ARE THOSE CARDS

WHY ARE WE PLAYING SCRABBALATRO

[thick panther]

Should this be rare or uncommon? "Money" in this case is the card's sell value.

[red flower]

play aiko's mod it's very good

[tall wharf]

you should try joyousspring

[gusty iron]

oh my god this is so peak

[blissful lance]

I feel like uncommon

[wintry solar]

man blind calc really fucked with the automatic messages T_T

[tall wharf]

😭

what happened

[gusty iron]

one question:

can you play pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

[tall wharf]

no

[red flower]

i noticed that sometimes i had to define a message_card for other_joker now

[gusty iron]

sob

[tall wharf]

not in dictionary

[proud moon]

uncommon, also, does it scale? like, each round the payout is incrementing? or it just takes 5 rounds until its sellable

[midnight coyote]

aiko do i add card to my calculate function if its a bliind

[blissful lance]

hand size issue lmao

[hard needle]

are there jokers that specifically affect those wordle blinds

[gusty iron]

whats the longest word you can play then

[hard needle]

feel like there's some cool potential with those ngl

[lucid owl]

how do you make a modded legendary joker not show up from the soul?

[proud moon]

a wee bit

[midnight coyote]

o okay

[thick panther]

It's a constant +$2 per shop. It doesn't stop at 10, so you can let it keep going. Maybe I'll increment it by a small percentage every few shops or so.

[gusty iron]

boy i do love my EX jokers

[tall wharf]

YOOO IT'S 4/20

[red flower]

i think

in_pool = function (self, args)
    return not args or not args.source or args.source ~= 'sou'
end

[gusty iron]

gg

[willow plinth]

this is readable code right?

[gusty iron]

thats like

13 jokers now

im so peak

[hard needle]

quick question, do jokers that say "if blahbalbhah contains a straight" do they take in unscored cards when checking if there's a straight?

[gusty iron]

relatively sure it only checks your scored cards, but dunno.

[proud moon]

you might need to change the tooltip, since its based on its own payout and not the player's current balance. I thought it was sellable off of how much money you already have

[hard needle]

o yeah if you're playing a straight all cards score 💀

i am too smart bro

[proud moon]

cursed

[hard needle]

use {C:mult} for the +15

so it doesn't look cursed

[proud moon]

even better

[red flower]

maybe with four fingers but idk if you can get that case in the vanilla game without a higher poker hand

[lucid owl]

worked perfectly, thanks!

[thick panther]

yeah I just changed it. Do you think it would be better if the payout increased over time (Make it compound interest)?

[proud moon]

hmm

[limber blaze]

in vanilla impossible

but you can do this in vanilla:

minus the acended hands stuff

but the straight flush calculations are the same

[shell timber]

that's +1?

[midnight coyote]

how am supposed to set boss

i mean

how am i supposed to tell a boss blind to be a boss blind

[limber blaze]

in cryptid with four fingers it gives +1 yeah

since the straight only needs 4 cards now

the other one is extra

[shell timber]

odd

[thin anchor]

i literally thought ascended hands were in vanilla for a second

[limber blaze]

they are wdym

totally

[midnight coyote]

hey

please

[thin anchor]

stop gaslighting

[midnight coyote]

little help here ;-;

[red flower]

they got added today in 1.1

[shell timber]

as an avid four fingers sflush player it s unfortunately not real

[hard needle]

wait

[red flower]

im waiting

[hard needle]

ill just try it with flower pot since that better suits what im trying to look for

[proud moon]

maybe not, ngl, $2 each round is pretty good, maybe it can increase by 1 after each boss blind or smth or you can use a function and round it, but if you want to balance a scaling econ joker you should look at rocket's numbers

[hard needle]

ok so flower pot does not take unscored cards

[willow plinth]

guys i‘m really hyped about my progress with my botting and automated testing API mod so far, hope someone will find it useful as soon as i get everything a bit cleaned up and pushed to GitHub

Balatro modding is fun, this scene feels cozy

[gusty iron]

yeah i fixed that

most things like that i normally fix after i send the image and realize

"huh. that doesnt look right."

[tall wharf]

why does the card art look fucked up

right because k is missing 1 pixel

[lucid owl]

how would you make a card's soul bounce/wiggle like the soul? (as in, the consumable)

[thick panther]

I made it increase by 1 at the end of each boss blind. Would this still be "fair" on uncommon or should it stay rare?

[gusty iron]

i removed it to see how many people would notice

youre the first

[tall wharf]

you just forgot about it didn't you

[gusty iron]

....

yes

[tall wharf]

it's ok

everyone does

[hard needle]

wait how do you forget about it dont u use like a template or smt

[tall wharf]

vro probably copied from jimbo and forget

[proud moon]

id say uncommon, its generally more risky than rocket and has a lower payout later on, plus diluting the rare pool is kinda annoying imo since it happens so often.

but its not my joker, do what you want with it

[thin anchor]

how would i force a shader onto a joker

[wintry solar]

use a drawstep

[thin anchor]

alternatively
is this correct for applying a vanilla shader "hologram" to an edition

[wintry solar]

🤞 automatic messages are fixed 🤞

[lucid owl]

why is my legendary consumable not being added into packs with this exact set? if i remove the line it appears just fine in spectral packs but not the card's base set (being "Silly")

[glad osprey]

WHY CRASH :(

[maiden wraith]

when we generate a "random" value it's actually random, and not based on seed. How could we make it depend on the seed?

[glad osprey]

pseudorandom

[blissful lance]

well that's what we're using

[maiden wraith]

maybe we're using it wrong?

[blissful lance]

local seal = pseudorandom_element(G.P_SEALS)

[glad osprey]

you dont have a pseudoseed in there

[maiden wraith]

so like we're missing an argument?

[glad osprey]

yea

[maiden wraith]

And how would one get a pseudoseed?

[glad osprey]

heres how i use it

[maiden wraith]

thanks we'll try this out

much love <3

[glad osprey]

just add pseudoseed("whatever you want the seed to be")

[maiden wraith]

we want it to be based on the game seed

i bet it's G.seed

(no)

[glad osprey]

no

[ivory coral]

psuedoseed() depends on the run seed by nature so thats already handled

[glad osprey]

that is based on the seed

[maiden wraith]

i see

[glad osprey]

that is just an identifier for the randomizer

[scarlet spire]

whatever you put in pseudoseed() will just make it unique from other psuedorandom generations

[hard needle]

does this joker look "nerdy"

does this fella look nerdfy

uhh im gonna take that as a yes

[old bane]

yes it does

also how would i be able to access the jokers in the shop? i'd like to be able to update their costs

[red flower]

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

[urban wasp]

i just found it yea

[red flower]

here are a couple more #💻・modding-dev message

[old bane]

also also i think aiko would prolly know this best but like how would i create a little textbox similar to what you'd see in like boss blinds? i wanna use it to show the player a score prediction and I'd like to be able to just put the number there

because when i tried to use the chip text it just wouldn't update

[steady smelt]

when it comes to adding in a drawstep between two parts of an existing drawstep (i.e. adding a draw_shader() function between the drawing of the center and front of a card when it has an edition, is the best/only way to do that to patch the existing drawstep? i can't think of a better way since you can't do it with a new drawstep without it being in the wrong order

in general the drawing order of drawsteps is very inconvenient if you want to add extra layers between existing layers of a card lol

since they draw at different times if the card has an edition

[proper lichen]

i keep getting this error when im trying to make my mod. I'm not sure at thispoint what is causing it.

[old bane]

can i see your json file's code?

[old bane]

change "main.lua" to "Balatrans.lua"

[digital niche]

how do i make it so the card only is removed after it ends scoring?

[tall wharf]

just wondering why the name and display name doesn't match

[digital niche]

show your second line pls

in your balatrans.lua i mean

[tall wharf]

what

[digital niche]

what should SMODS.Mods be?

[tall wharf]

i don't think that should even be a thing anymore

[digital niche]

the only thing i see here that mmakes sense for me in parts is the atlas

[tall wharf]

where did you get this code

[proper lichen]

used other people's and my own...

[zealous glen]

use the context for destroying cards

[tall wharf]

to be more exact where did you get that SMODS.Mods part

[tall wharf]

I'm going to sleep i swear

[digital niche]

how do i make this?

also just realized your pfp aint knuckles

[zealous glen]

https://tenor.com/view/press-x-to-doubt-x-to-doubt-wooper-pokemon-woop-woop-gif-12952794857912432270

[proper lichen]

Clips Jokers

[tall wharf]

that's a very old mod

you shouldn't use it to base your mod of

[south lintel]

stay up, I'll sleep for you

[tall wharf]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod here is an up to date example joker mod

[digital niche]

like that? doesnt make much sense to me i think i did it wrong

[tall wharf]

what is that

what are you trying to achieve

[digital niche]

destroy the card after 3 uses

but only be destroyed after scoring

it s being destroyed as soon as played

[tall wharf]

wait what are uses

[digital niche]

scoring

[tall wharf]

destroy what card

[proper lichen]

thanks ❤️

[tall wharf]

is it a joker

[digital niche]

a enhancement

[tall wharf]

is it an enhancement

oh

[digital niche]

that after being scored 3 times it is destroyed

[zealous glen]

Check the end of the screenshot I sent

also context.destroying_card is a boolean you don't want to manually change it

[tall wharf]

i think you decrease uses in main scoring context

[zealous glen]

or rather

you don't want to compare it with a number

[red flower]

context.destroying_card is a card

[gusty iron]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local suits = G.GAME.current_round.j_baguette_ex_suits
        return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.chip_mod,
                localize(suits[1], 'suits_singular'),
                localize(suits[2], 'suits_singular'),
                card.ability.extra.chips,
                colours = {
                    G.C.SUITS[suits[1]],
                    G.C.SUITS[suits[2]]
                }
            }
        }
    end,

a bit of help with this? its saying colours is nil

[zealous glen]

right my bad

[digital niche]

that i already got working, i just need to make it only be destroyed after scoring

[tall wharf]

and once that reaches 0 you check for destroy card context and return remove true

[zealous glen]

In my defense it's midnight

Aiko might function sleepless but I'm not them

I will never be them

[digital niche]

bbut then where do i add this? i need the = 0 for the card.ability.extra.uses

[zealous glen]

you need to check that card.ability.extra.uses is 0

not context.destroying_card

[digital niche]

im so confused

the card and uses part is already working, i just need it to only be destroyed after it is scored in the last use

[red flower]

what they're telling you is to move == 0 to uses

[gentle rain]

just saw in a video he said this

[digital niche]

i took out the changes i did and it just started working as intended for some reason

[gusty iron]

bump

[zealous glen]

🇦🇷 🤝 🇧🇷

[gentle rain]

for the record. i think localthunk is just lying here

[zealous glen]

maybe you're accessing the color with the wrong keys

[gentle rain]

like straight up, it's the only effect not nested under "and not context.blueprint"

he HAD to do it intentionally

[red flower]

maybe he forgot

[digital niche]

now it isnt returning the 3X mult 😭😭😭

[zealous glen]

He just didn't notice it was in the wrong place

[gentle rain]

my theory is that he decided that, it'd be odd if mime was "compatible" but didn't work specifically with gold cards but did work with everything else

[digital niche]

nvm figured it out

[zealous glen]

I think you're overthinking it

Thunk didn't realize he let Mime work with Blueprint

[red flower]

I think he either forgot to put it there or you're right but he forgot that he came to that decision when making it

[zealous glen]

I remember during the demo thunk discussing what to do with Blueprint since they didn't want it to include a timing element into it

[red flower]

thunk would hate the moveman

[zealous glen]

(Some) players enjoyed the timing element

[zealous glen]

whom

[red flower]

#⚙・modding-general message

[gentle rain]

im not a fan of end of round abilities being uncopyable personally

[zealous glen]

So I remembered correctly

[zealous glen]

I agree with thunk's motivation. And I'm not sure there's another solution that doesn't remove more fun interactions

[gusty iron]

i can show you the hooks if you think that might be the issue

[gentle rain]

i think thunk was right in not allowing them in vanilla but also i think nothing is wrong with installing a mod that would make them compatible

[digital niche]

how do i add a animation like in the marble joker?

[red flower]

i think it's fun but I agree it probably shouldnt work for accessibility, balatro shouldnt be about testing motor skills

[zealous glen]

Not the hooks, just the keys

[gentle rain]

thats what im sayin yeh

[zealous glen]

I mean you can do that right now

[gusty iron]

which keys are we talking about?

[gentle rain]

does a mod that allows blueprint to be compatible w end of round effects exist?

cause i personally have no clue how to create a mod which overwrites code

[zealous glen]

Not that I know of, but it wouldn't be hard except for Jokers that give money at the end of round

[ruby delta]

Anyone, I wanted a small help, one of my joker mods I wanted to make that the copies that are created should be registered in the deck and wanted to make that it multiplies the mults not add so if there is x4 in the scoring and the card is giving x2 than it should be 8 and not 6 like that

Here is the code
SMODS.Atlas {
key = "j_rwby_weiss",
path = "weiss.png",
px = 71,
py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'j_rwby_weiss',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Weiss',
text = {
"If the first hand contains {C:attention}1 card{}, copy it {C:attention}twice{}.",
"Gain {C:money}$5{} for each copy made."
}
},
rarity = 2,
cost = 8,
atlas = 'j_rwby_weiss',
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
config = {
copied_this_round = false
},
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.end_of_round then
card.ability.copied_this_round = false
return
end

    if context.before and not card.ability.copied_this_round then
        if G.GAME.current_round and 
           G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and 
           #context.scoring_hand == 1 then
            
            local original = context.scoring_hand[1]
            local dollar_gain = 0
            
            for _ = 1, 2 do
                local copy = copy_card(original, nil, nil, nil, true)
                copy:add_to_deck()
                G.play:emplace(copy)
                table.insert(context.scoring_hand, copy)
                dollar_gain = dollar_gain + 5
            end
            
            ease_dollars(dollar_gain)
            card.ability.copied_this_round = true
        end
    end
    return {}
end

}
The function of the card is that if first hand contains one card, gain 2 copy of that card . Gain 5$ every time a card has been copied

[gusty iron]

the suits should be right

its a table consisting of (as the name suggests) 2 suits

[red flower]

oh i forgot to reply to you in the other server

i dont understand what the problem is

[gusty iron]

the hooks set the table

[ruby delta]

No it's not a problem I actually want to add those things and

[red flower]

then i dont understand what you want to add

[zealous glen]

I'd try to confirm it in another way

Otherwise, what does the localization look like

[tall wharf]

see i thought i was too sleepy to comprehend

[gusty iron]

i think my hooks are broken, as when i removed the color coding, everything's showing nil

[zealous glen]

show the localization

[gusty iron]

even the predefined variables

[gusty iron]

which localization

[zealous glen]

the relevant one

[gusty iron]

the suits_singular?

[tall wharf]

i think i just had a stroke reading

[blissful lance]

how can I add back a joker in the pool after I got it ?

[zealous glen]

whatever has variables you're trying to localize

I imagine the Joker

[gusty iron]

hold on i think i mightve figured it out

[midnight coyote]

how do i add a joker slot, and how do i check edition on a joker

i know how to get jokers

but how do i check the edition on one

[red flower]

1. modify G.jokers.config.card_limit
2. card.edition

[midnight coyote]

so for card limit

[red flower]

card.edition.negative for negatives btw

[midnight coyote]

how do i bind that to a joker

[gusty iron]

heres the loc_text

        text = {
            "This Joker gains {C:chips}+#2#{} Chips",
            "per scored #3# or #4# card,",
            "suits change every round",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {C:chips}+#5#{C:inactive} Chips)",
        }

[midnight coyote]

how do i make the extra slots go away when the joker does

[red flower]

change it in add_to_deck and change it back in remove_from_deck

[ruby delta]

I want to make the copied card to be in the deck when it gets copied like adding a new card and I want the mults to multiply the scored mults not adding it

[midnight coyote]

this is a context, right?

[red flower]

no

[midnight coyote]

no

[midnight coyote]

api method

[red flower]

from my mod

[midnight coyote]

hm alright

[zealous glen]

You're not using the custom colors

[gusty iron]

yeah because it crashed the game everytime, im trying to solve the nil issue for now

[midnight coyote]

im just having it iterate over every joker one by one to check for negative, is this correct?

[red flower]

im sorry i dont follow

[gusty iron]

heres the loc_vars too

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    local suits = G.GAME.current_round.j_baguette_ex_suits or {'Spades', 'Hearts'}
    return {
        vars = {
            suits,
            10,
            localize(suits[1], 'suits_singular'),
            localize(suits[2], 'suits_singular'),
            card.ability.extra.chips,
            colours = {
                G.C.SUITS[suits[1]],
                G.C.SUITS[suits[2]]
            }
        }
    }
end,

[red flower]

yes

[midnight coyote]

okay

[ruby delta]

@red flower what? Anyways I think u can't help thanks

[red flower]

I'm saying that I don't understand what you're saying lol

[lucid owl]

why is my legendary consumable not being added into packs with this exact set? if i remove the line it appears just fine in spectral packs but not the card's base set (being "Silly")

[midnight coyote]

so for G.jokers.config.card_limit, when i feed it the value should i just do [var] = [var] + 1

when it pops

[ruby delta]

Owh sorry i thought u were busy as you said I don't follow, lol, look my joker creates 2 copies if 1 card is scored in first hand now what I wanted is that those two cards copied should be saved in the deck instead of disappearing and the mults I want them to multiply the scoring mults not add them (now? Was it clear or?)

[midnight coyote]

and i will also have a loc var

and then whenever the card is removed, i should do [var] = [var] - [loc_var]

i hope this is understandable enough]

[blissful lance]

bump

[red flower]

oh for the first one you probably want G.deck instead of G.play
i don't know what mult you're talking about still

[old bane]

like do you mean in a gros michel/cavendish way or a showman way?

[ruby delta]

Wait I think I got it working I think let me test I will let you know thanks again ☺️

[blissful lance]

more of a showman way

[midnight coyote]

based on the lack of response im gonna guess this is the way to go

[red flower]

does it have to be any joker or just the one you're making

[old bane]

i think you can give a Joker a in_pool function that returns {allow_duplicates = true} , allowing the Joker to show up even if you have one

[blissful lance]

basically I want to make it a sticker, if the joker has it it can be found again

[red flower]

you probably have to patch get_current_pool then

[old bane]

i think you might have to do a lovely patch in that scenario

[red flower]

you might also be able to do it by setting G.GAME.used_jokers[key] to nil

[gusty iron]

...I FINALLY DID IT

[blissful lance]

Ok I'll try these out thank you very much,

[gusty iron]

yeah it turns out my hooks were way out of wack

[old bane]

btw does anyone know if i can just create a text box on a whim using the update() function?

[gusty iron]

COLORSSSSS

[tall kestrel]

nice

[wintry solar]

native multi box is life

[red flower]

horizontal boxes when

[gusty iron]

Also to quickly explain EX jokers

Buffed jokers that require you to have a golden stake on the normal version of the joker

I currently have 12 Normal Jokers, and 4 EX jokers

[lucid owl]

bump

[midnight coyote]

why doesnt this work

[wintry solar]

you can use it now!

show me those gloriously large tooltips

[daring fern]

You know you can just use context.card to get the card that was added.

[midnight coyote]

what

[daring fern]

Instead of looking through the jokers you should do if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" and context.card.edition and context.card.edition.negative

[midnight coyote]

so replace the for loop with this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[midnight coyote]

if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" then?

[daring fern]

Replace the for loop and ifs with that.

[gusty iron]

can i use table.find?

[red flower]

hmm is there a way to order them

[wintry solar]

they should be in the order you type them

[red flower]

they dont seem to be, unless one of my patches is breaking something

[midnight coyote]

like this

[wintry solar]

can you send me the loc string?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[midnight coyote]

oh

thats way simpler

thank you

[wintry solar]

oh

I know what it is

it's your typing bit

so when it tries to put the extra ones in the 3rd place in the box, that's above the first description instead of after

[red flower]

hmm i dont follow

the type stuff is in .name

[wintry solar]

it adds an extra node in

[midnight coyote]

oh when i kill negative it doesnt have time to process that

[red flower]

you have to get it therapy then

[ruby delta]

@red flower is there a way to show total mults the card is carrying in the tooltip so in changes when the joker card mults increase?

[red flower]

loc_vars?

[wintry solar]

I think you'd have to patch in this bottom row similar to how I add in the extra boxes

[red flower]

i can also be lazy and just put the last line first 👍

[wintry solar]

I mean if you want to reorder all of your loc files instead of writing a small patch knock yourself out 🤣

looks good though!

I was debating adding colour support to it, perhaps another day

[red flower]

i will think about it once i get the energy to go through 300 joker locs

[red flower]

yeah for that one i kept my patch

[wintry solar]

oh I guess you have to update all the locs anyway

[ruby delta]

Yh I kept it but yet

[true jasper]

I want to change the art of a joker from another mod using a lovely patch, how would I do that
I know how to do lovely patches but not how to make it use the art from my mod

[inner lantern]

Question, is there any easy way to change which hands contain which other hands?

[midnight coyote]

my evil creature joker has 0.2x mult for every cursed card in the deck

[inner lantern]

im relatively new to modding and I want to add a utility joker that makes all hands contain all other hands

[daring fern]

I'm not sure about that but I assume you would need to take ownership/patch all jokers that deal with contained hands.

[inner lantern]

awww

theres no utility function for checking what a hand contains or anything I could patch?

[daring fern]

Now that I'm looking at the code you could probably fill context.poker_hands with every hand.

[inner lantern]

hmmm

that would work

except it’d make every hand count as a flush five right? or whatever the strongest hand is

I’ll try it later today tho

[daring fern]

You could hook G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info get the real scoring name then fill it with poker hands.

[midnight coyote]

how do i do the end of round money like cloud 9 or golden joker

[red flower]

by reading the docs 🙂 https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker

[midnight coyote]

okay jeez

how do i do a shifting color like negative does

[red flower]

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

[midnight coyote]

and then key is what i reference it to

in the C: tag

right

[red flower]

i think it should be modprefix_key yeah

[midnight coyote]

kk

[rapid stag]

...how did you do that

[red flower]

🧙‍♂️

(he just added it to smods if that's what you're asking)

[high sinew]

ok ive got a slightly weird issue my snack cards and booster are being added no problem but the jokers dont get added to collection did I do something wrong?

[rapid stag]

[high sinew]

i can send a joker file if needed

[red flower]

try using SMODS.load_file instead

[rapid stag]

i see

[high sinew]

anywhere specific?

im not sure what u mean

[red flower]

instead of all the NFS.load stuff you're doing

[high sinew]

ohh ok bet

didnt like that

[faint yacht]

me when I

for _, file in ipairs{...} do -- ... is just a list of filenames here.
    assert(SMODS.load_file("items/"..file))()
end

[red flower]

me when im evil

local others_src = NFS.getDirectoryItems(SMODS.current_mod.path .. "src/others")
for _, file in ipairs(others_src) do
    assert(SMODS.load_file("src/others/" .. file))()
end

[rapid stag]

outside of the SMODS change to make this natively work with loc_text.text/loc_text.description, would this also be possible via main_end or would it have to be done via generate_ui()?

[high sinew]

should i just replace the NFS set ip with this? ik it works done in past its jus weird because only jokers dont work

so should I just change jokers?

i found issue SMODS.Joker had " = {" no = XD

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rapid stag]

oh, right

so i'm writing a new joker and my plan for it is to have, among other things, the name change based on certain conditions. i know about description changing via main_end and other stuff, but how do i change the name on the fly?

[faint yacht]

Just the name?

[blissful lance]

how can I apply a sticker using a spectral card, I know that there's an "apply" method but I dont know where or how to use it

[rapid stag]

no

[red flower]

return a key in loc_vars then

like this

[rapid stag]

i see. what does this do?

[red flower]

it changes the name and description to that key

you can also change the set

[rapid stag]

ah, so i need corresponding items in localization, then

[red flower]

yes

[faint yacht]

I've done something like that for my Seal^2 and the 2 upgrade vouchers.

[red flower]

Egg.

[faint yacht]

-# heccin' image layout, Discord-

Wrap the code in
```lua
...
```

[high sinew]

still cant solve issue seems to now be bugging

yea sorry my computer is annoying

[blissful lance]

nvm I got it

[high sinew]

crashing here I need to define certain jokers in sets for some cards functions idk if right way

do i add this in main

[faint yacht]

...should it not be ['Joker'] = true?

[high sinew]

wdym?

dont you want it true to register?

[faint yacht]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Joker"]

Joker = true > ['Joker'] = true

[high sinew]

for the joker pools code?

[faint yacht]

If this is supposed to be a Joker and you're adding it via SMODS.Joker... why the manual inject attempt?

[high sinew]

i thought u had to since its in a different folder

load it into main one

[faint yacht]

Nope.

[high sinew]

so what am i supposed to do im not really understanding what ur saying tbh

[faint yacht]

If this is a Joker being defined, just ignore the pool stuff as it's handled automatically.

[high sinew]

ok I just added pools variable in becuase it still wasnt regerstering in my main idk why i can send the main file again and ex of joker

ive tried what u said and hasnt worked

[faint yacht]

fwiw, I have a "pool" of my own defined in the main file and, at the bottom of said file, I do the loading of other .lua scripts to load the actual content, like the Jokers and such.

[high sinew]

ok thank you visual is a lot easier to interpret

[faint yacht]

-# The main file was getting a bit too big to scroll through, so I split it off into many parts.

[high sinew]

nah i get what u did tho so ill prob just input manually

[thin anchor]

is this correct? trying to figure out how shaders work on editions
the foil shader is from vanilla

[gusty iron]

how do i get the most played hand?

[high sinew]

didnt work sadly desinged it in i think the correct way based on urs. my jokers are in specific folders in my joker folder under items

i just wanna keep orginized

[willow plinth]

look at G.GAME.hands i think was it

if not, print(tprint(G.GAME)) should help you

[faint yacht]

...did you still keep the pool stuff in the Jokers?

[high sinew]

no i took out...

after u said too

[faint yacht]

Send the pimento_pepper one over?

[high sinew]

here

[faint yacht]

...hm, all appears well. What of your SMODS - tried updating it?

[high sinew]

heres my main so u can see it

i changed the jokers loading to how u did it but kept the boosters same since they were fine before

[faint yacht]

-# ...wait, did you even define a 'Pepper Jokers' set?

[high sinew]

wdym?

i thought u said i didnt need to

[faint yacht]

set = 'Pepper Jokers', is still there.

[high sinew]

oh so you dont need that?

[faint yacht]

Remove (or comment out) the set = line in your Jokers and try loading.

[high sinew]

k

[digital niche]

local _hand, _tally = nil, 0
                            for k, v in ipairs(G.handlist) do
                                if G.GAME.hands[v].visible and G.GAME.hands[v].played > _tally then
                                    _hand = v
                                    _tally = G.GAME.hands[v].played
                                end```

telescope does this

how come i can find those things for anyone but for me

[high sinew]

didnt change anything sadly

[faint yacht]

-# Did you update SMODS?

[high sinew]

but the error is on a diff file i noticed

yea mines been updated

[digital niche]

how do i make that little animation of the card being created in the screen then going to the deck like the marble joker?

i already looked at the marblee joker code but didnt understand

[high sinew]

juice up gives you animation part not sure how u do the stone joker effect i havent seen send and i can try helping

[digital niche]

okok! 1 sec

[high sinew]

Look at the Event i add with GE Manager

[faint yacht]

0401a? Current one, as of this message, is 0419b. Also, kind? Not set?

For consumables, need the set.

[high sinew]

mm right

[digital niche]

is that what the juice up does?

[tired wharf]

Anyone know why I am getting this error whenever I hover over a booster pack with this code

[faint yacht]

That's a message being displayed by either a return {} defining such or card_eval_status_text.

[high sinew]

yes i saw it shake u can use juice up to have card shake in a sense

send me the lua code of marble joker plz i can figure out how to do other part

[high sinew]

updating game ur prob right jsut noticed too lol

[digital niche]

i meant the card showing up then going to deck, not the "+1 Stone"

[red flower]

it should be colours = { HEX(...) }

[digital niche]

i can send you the code for my joker if its better, it is already working, just need the enhanced card to show up in the screen and then go to the deck

[high sinew]

ya feel free to dm me ive made tons of joker ideas i bet i can help

[faint yacht]

if self.ability.name == 'Marble Joker' and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced  then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

okok!

[high sinew]

adding cards in deck is easy so i got u

[high sinew]

great way to figure out too

[tired wharf]

still the same error

[red flower]

what's the code now

[red flower]

oh sorry, loc_vars should be a function
i didnt notice that

[tired wharf]

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh whoops

thanks

[high sinew]

@faint yacht ur a legend bro it worked thx so much solved an error i could not get XD

[faint yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-glitch-funny-cat-qwq-gif-18206202

[gusty iron]

how do i check if a card is a facecard?

i normally check if its within ranks 11~13, but i realized that doesnt work with the one joker

[faint yacht]

:is_face()

[plain apex]

can a seal check for when its drawn?

[gusty iron]

jippie

[sturdy compass]

I think this is sick

[weak gate]

How do I make playing cards in the shop free?

[worldly thicket]

Is this the right way for a joker to destroy itself

[weak gate]

remove(self, card, context, true) was what I did recently @worldly thicket

[high sinew]

@faint yacht finally seeing my jokers in game is so satifying all thanks to u 🙌 clutch coder in the house

[worldly thicket]

Alright! Thank you, I was just going off of what the Gros Michel does and was confused lol

It's saying it's an undefined global

[sturdy compass]

Anyone have an example of adding cards to your deck with a back? Nvm, found one!

[weak gate]

ohh, sorry, remove() is a pokermon function, that wraps around some lines that are probably relevant. G.jokers:remove_card(self) then?

[worldly thicket]

that seems to work

Is this the right way to do odds?

[weak gate]

It won't be affected by oops all 6's, do you want that?

[tired wharf]

how do I get the create card part of a booster pack working

[worldly thicket]

If I want it to be affected would it break anything I already have?

[weak gate]

Hmmm wait you have a 4-way (40% to do nothing) probability check, which is probably best not to involve Oops. Since which odds would go up?

[worldly thicket]

Also should I start the pseudorandom at 0 and check for 0 in which case to do nothing

[weak gate]

that's just preference

[worldly thicket]

Alright, but with my current set up it will work?

[weak gate]

seems like it will work, 20% chance of xmult, 20% of chips, 20% of destruction, 40% of doing nothing

[proud moon]

does anyone have a list of EVERY Smodded function, context, and whatnot?

the smoded docs has a lot, but i know its missing some stuff and id love to know what im missing out on

[worldly thicket]

It worked however sometimes it doesn't do anything not even with my check for 0

[proud moon]

id wager, its a syntax error /j

[weak gate]

pseudorandom("hatter", 1, 5) will roll 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5; what are your checks like?

[proud moon]

have you checked for missing commas or end

[worldly thicket]

rn I set it to pseudorandom("hatter", 0, 3) and I check for 0, 1, 2, 3

[weak gate]

well, put a print after you roll it so you can see which number is failing to do stuff
it might be _pool == 2, that ease_chips inside the return statement seems suspect

[worldly thicket]

That works, but let me to the print statement

[brazen tusk]

was the bunco mod existing in my mods folder lmao

wasn't even turned on

[proud moon]

ah

thats

odd

[brazen tusk]

quite

[worldly thicket]

@weak gate I found out, it's when _pool == 3, the Joker doesn't destroy itself

[weak gate]

          card:remove()
          card = nil
``` maybe do all these to destroy itself...?

[tired wharf]

how do I get the create card part of a booster pack working
(my current code)

[weak gate]

https://github.com/InertSteak/Pokermon/blob/main/boosters/packs1.lua @tired wharf there might be a good example in Pokermon

[worldly thicket]

How can I make a return that levels up a random poker hand by a random amount

[tired wharf]

alr i'll try that thanks

[wild escarp]

Could someone give me a rundown on what I need for my json file?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[tired wharf]

I tried this and got this error

[wild escarp]

Thanks!

[proud moon]

how does one reference the name of the currently played hand?

[worldly thicket]

context.scoring_name == 'Flush' for a specific hand is what I use

[proud moon]

that works!

thank you

[tired wharf]

does anyone know why I am getting this error when I open this booster pack

[worldly thicket]

this worked but how do I make it do the burning away effect

[weak gate]

hmm there's a start_dissolve() function

[willow plinth]

there's also Card:explode

[cerulean rose]

using this consumable causes the game to close with no error message

the log also doesn't show anything useful

[iron haven]

I don't know if I should do L today or not.

[willow plinth]

try limiting/early breaking the first for loop

or all loops fwiw

[digital niche]

im getting a crash everytime the joker is activated

[cerulean rose]

skipping the first loop has no effect

[heady glen]

What do you guys think of these designs?

[cerulean rose]

commenting out both loops doesn't fix anything actually

[daring fern]

Does it freeze then crash or does it crash instantly?

[tired wharf]

probably a 7.5 out of ten

[cerulean rose]

just instantly closes when i press use

no freeze

[heady glen]

great! im pretty new to this stuff so im glad im doing good thus far

[cerulean rose]

also here's the definition of modify_cards

---Modify cards with the tarot animation
---@param targets Card[]
---@param modification fun(card: Card): nil
local function modify_cards(targets, modification)
    for i, target in ipairs(targets) do
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.15,
            func = function()
                target:flip()
                play_sound('card1', 1.15 - (i - 0.999) / (#targets - 0.998) * 0.3)
                target:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
    delay(0.2)
    for i, target in ipairs(targets) do
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.1,
            func = function()
                modification(target)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
    for i, target in ipairs(targets) do
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.15,
            func = function()
                target:flip()
                play_sound('tarot2', 0.85 + (i - 0.999) / (#targets - 0.998) * 0.3, 0.6)
                target:juice_up(0.3, 0.3)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.2,
        func = function()
            G.hand:unhighlight_all(); return true
        end
    }))
    delay(0.5)
end

this works with another card i used tho

[daring fern]

And if you commented out everything it doesn't crash?

[tired wharf]

my main reconmendation is to add some shading/more colors and add a border to some of them but besides that I quite like the designs

[manic rune]

aaaa iaaa iaa

[heady glen]

Gotcha

[cerulean rose]

game does not crash if the entire use function is commented out

[daring fern]

How much can you comment out before the game doesn't crash?

[tired wharf]

i'd also reconmmend that you look at the base game jokers to get an idea of how they look

[cerulean rose]

copy_table(G.hand.cards) seems to be causing the crash

apparently copy_table is a deep copy!?

since when!?

[worldly thicket]

How can I increase the level of a random poker hand

[hushed estuary]

Is there a way to target all files at once with lovely

[cerulean rose]

check orbital tag and space joker

[willow plinth]

always has been 🧑‍🚀

[tired wharf]

-# just gonna reply to this to try to get a responce

[cerulean rose]

use SMODS.create_card

[daring fern]

Probably by getting a random value from G.handlist and then checking that it is visble then leveling it up.

[cerulean rose]

ok i fixed my issue

just had to shallow copy manually

[worldly thicket]

is this it? This seems like too little

[cerulean rose]

where are you finding this?

[tired wharf]

it's now giving me this error

[cerulean rose]

https://tenor.com/view/read-the-fucking-docs-rtfm-skill-issue-legion-gif-26463667

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[daring fern]

That levels the played hand.

[worldly thicket]

Ah, I just saw the Space Joker's code and went with it

[daring fern]

Also you should be using card not self

[tired wharf]

I have been and the booster pack page (among others) is not helping (I also started making balatro mods a week ago and had no prior experience with lua)

[cerulean rose]

SMODS.create_card is documented on this page

[willow plinth]

SMODS.create_card expects a table

in the future you could find this out looking at other's code or yes, the docs

[hushed estuary]

-# I'd like to ask this again hoping someone answers

[daring fern]

Try this level_up_hand(card, pseudorandom_element(G.handlist, pseudoseed('seed')), nil, 1)

[worldly thicket]

Thanks

[tired wharf]

i've been looking at the code for cryptid and pokermon for a while and have been testing and trying things for a while and nothing has been working so asked here

[willow plinth]

i'd also recommend cloning https://github.com/Steamodded/smods.wiki.git, then you could use an actual usable search function locally instead of the github wiki's

not entirely your fault, github's wiki feature got neglected for the past few years and it's dogshit

that's why i recommend downloading some docs locally regularly, and then searching through them with vscode or whatever

[tired wharf]

alr

[hushed estuary]

-# I'll just assume it's impossible now

[willow plinth]

can you be more specific?

[hushed estuary]

I'd like to patch all lua files of the game with basically the same thing

[willow plinth]

oh

[hushed estuary]

And it's not very convenient to do it for every file separately

[willow plinth]

you could write an external script that does the mundane work for you - other than that idk, sorry

[hushed estuary]

Nah no problem

[worldly thicket]

Tried it, it works for a split second then crashes

[proud moon]

turbotastic

[willow plinth]

i like them...however even though i'm not an f1 nerd, that car looks a bit thin; and the autograph text is a barely legible, but that can be a stylistic choice, it's obvious it says "Joker" (right? :D)

[daring fern]

Show your code.

It worked for me.

[worldly thicket]

is it the color?

[daring fern]

Try removing the colour.

[worldly thicket]

It was the color

[willow plinth]

the hour clock handle also looks a bit out of place, you could maybe mask that with a spade symbol?

[orchid nest]

How do you check for WoF fails?

I tried checking cryptid but I can not find the code where the "Celestial Globe" is

[cerulean rose]

the heck is Celectial Globe

you should be looking for Wheel of Hope

[orchid nest]

#⚙・modding-general message

idk man

im just checking chat history

it was labelled apparently on the wiki as "Celestial Globe"

[daring fern]

This is how cryptid does it.

[cerulean rose]

(when?)

[orchid nest]

no clue just don't worry about it

i was confused :p

[orchid nest]

how would i inject the patch? Sorry, still very new to balatro modding.

wait nvm

i think i found it

[daring fern]

You put it in the lovely.toml

[copper lion]

Looks like using any multi-use card added by cryptid will instantly crash the game

3rd time now that I tried to use a multi-use followed by an instant crash

[daring fern]

What do you mean Multi-Use?

[copper lion]

I tried it with a different code card that also said "Multiuse: (2 remaining)" with even less mods than I have now

and it caused a similar crash

I tried it again, the exact same thing, and it didn't crash this time

K it looks like it does the crash if you have multiple consumables when you use the card

[rustic swallow]

does anyone know why this doesnt work

        if context.individual and context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if pseudorandom('burn',G.GAME.probabilities.normal) <= G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then
                card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 0.25
                return {
                destroy_card = card,
                message = ('Burning!'),
                colour = G.C.ATTENTION,
                }
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
            Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
    end
} ```

[willow plinth]

first step: learn to screenshot

[faint yacht]

Could such be animated?

[daring fern]

I don't think you can animate mod icons.

[true jasper]

My dad turned off the wifi so I couldn't

[heavy hare]

i seemingly keep getting this error when removing a UI box: engine/ui.lua:396: attempt to index field 'object' (a nil value)

is there any reason this would be causing that?

if self.uibox then self.uibox:remove() end

if i remove that line, it works perfectly, just doesn't clear the UI box

this is the definition of the UI box:

self.uibox=UIBox{
  definition=def,
  config={
    major = G.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('blind_tracker'),
    align = 'cm',
    offset={x=0,y=0},
    colour=G.C.CLEAR,
  }
}

i guess i would need to show def but it's rendering fine otherwise

[willow plinth]

maybe if apngs are supported?

[hot island]

not exactly a mod but im working on something using nodejs canvas that can display a game state

this entire ui (other than the images obviously) were generated programmatically from the game state

still gotta add cards

but it shouldnt be too hard

i also need to make it so the deck in the bottom right can change size (right now the deck stack is just an image other than the top card)

and i need to handle selected cards for the cerulean bell

[shell timber]

one nitpick: the jokerdisplay textboxes seem slightly too short

[hot island]

because right now the chips and mult display will always say 1

[hushed field]

I'm entirely unfamiliar with what nodejs canvas is, but I'm very interested haha

[shell timber]

it's a library for node.js that lets you draw images

[hot island]

hows this

[shell timber]

seems close enough. it doesn't really matter

[hot island]

i also thought it looked a little short but i thought copied the exact value from the screenshot i took

turns out i was 2 pixels off

[shell timber]

here's a screenshot of it

might still be a bit short (?)

[hot island]

gimp says its 47 pixels

[shell timber]

oh it's probably rendering below the jokers

so it looks shorter on the top half

[hot island]

either way im not copying jokerdisplay functionality entirely

[shell timber]

yeah fair enough

[hot island]

i just figured id use the ui as inspiration

i just wanted to use it to easily show where scaling jokers are

wait i just realized i would need 2 for yorick

me when i cant hard code because of one joker

[hot island]

because the end goal is to make a text based balatro

to be used for a discord bot and/or over sms

i already made a bot that can recieve and send text messages from my phone

so i figured itd be cool to make balatro

localthunk please dont kill me

[shell timber]

oh on the topic of balala discord bots

[hot island]

but yeah if its text based its pretty important that i show the details of cards because you wouldnt just be able to hover over it quickly

[shell timber]

what would probably be useful is being able to do like [[Baseball Card]] and having a message show up with the joker's effect and art

[hot island]

sounds pretty easy

[runic pecan]

Does calculate return table support delay?

[hot island]

https://github.com/AlecM33/balatro-joker-bot/tree/main/modules

could even take the details from the reddit bot so you wouldnt need to take them yourself

[wintry solar]

It has to be done with generate ui

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to delay?

[runic pecan]

Just want a message stay a couple deciseconds longer on screen.

[wintry solar]

Uhhh it might do, just give it a try

@daring fern what situation are you experiencing missing messages?

[daring fern]

On the most recent version as I've seen the again message is only showing for jokers in context.joker_main

[wintry solar]

what have you used to test this

[daring fern]

This:

[hushed field]

what exactly does the 'destroying_cards' cardarea in calculate context target?

wait, i'm not even sure if that's standard smods or just in my dump due to another mod patching it in

I'm not entirely sure how the game handles the cardareas that are presented as strings

[daring fern]

Also context.individual message positions are still a bit strange.

[runic pecan]

Is this the correct way to reduce the score requirement by 10%?

[wintry solar]

Remove the message and message card lines

[daring fern]

0 difference.

[wintry solar]

Can you record?

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/0844919610e2a95096eab3ac5c9b1125b16a5f43/items/joker.lua#L324-L333 Somewhat, have a look.

[wintry solar]

How does it look with chad?

[daring fern]

There is a retrigger message.

[wintry solar]

So chad works fine?

[daring fern]

I think it might.

[wintry solar]

Huh

[willow plinth]

apngs aren't animated btw :D

[hard needle]

how would pareidolia's is_face hook look like

nevermind i found it

[high sinew]

my pepper isnt evoliving to the 'anaheim chile' correctly am i doing SMODS.create_card right?

[faint yacht]

Replace SMODS.create_card with SMODS.add_card and key = 'anaheim_chile' with key = 'j_mills_anaheim_chile'.

[faint yacht]

...curious if we can access the pos of the atlas itself somehow and change it that way?

[high sinew]

kk

[high sinew]

totally worked! i want the next evolution to keep previous mult how do i have it be added to next joker per say?

[faint yacht]

local newcard = SMODS.add_card{...}
newcard.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult

[high sinew]

youve been so clutch bro i hope you have a blessed day u deserve it

[hot island]

finished the cards
first picture is canvas generated one
second picture is reference image

well technically not finished i still need to make the editions for them

i dont generate the editions live i have folders like jokersbase, jokersfoil, jokersholographic, etc.

[daring fern]

Is there a way to make scoring happen twice?

[hot island]

so i just gotta do that for the card backs and overlays

[crisp coral]

did you manually make one version for every edition instead of applying a shader...

[hot island]

i made a script to mass convert them

i dont know of a way to apply a shader with nodejs canvas

im sure there is one

but it was just easier to make the images instead

[crisp coral]

how would you be able to get a card's rotation exactly right on the canvas

[hot island]

it was just based on the distance from the center of the card area

the closer it is to the center the less rotation it has

[crisp coral]

oh right there's uh reduced motion

[hot island]

oh yeah

that ss was taken with reduced motion

yeah otherwise theyd be moving all around

i could always add some randomization to the rotation once im done

but even without it i think it looks great

i sure cant wait to recreate the shop screen and the blind screen once im done with this

and then rewrite the game logic in js

luckily i can borrow the balatro calculator code for the game calculations

but i still gotta make everything else

[heavy hare]

  local def = {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = "cl"}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align="cl",maxw=2.075},nodes={
        self:get_sprite("Small"),
        self:get_sprite("Big"),
        self:get_sprite("Boss"),
    }}
  }}

^ that's the def for the UIBox, all the get_sprites is markup with the sprites in them as object nodes. is that the "object" it says in the error can't find? do i have to make a UIBox for every object?

              n = G.UIT.C,
              config = {align = "cm"},
              nodes = {
                {
                  n = G.UIT.R,
                  nodes = {
                    { n = G.UIT.O, config = { object = blind_sprite } }
                  }
                },
                blind_preview_ui and { n = G.UIT.R, config = { align = "tm" }, nodes = { blind_preview_ui }},
                {
                  n = G.UIT.R,
                  config = { align = "cm" },
                  nodes = {
                    tag and {
                      n = G.UIT.C,
                      config = {align = "cm"}, nodes={{ 
                        n = G.UIT.O, config = { id = choice.."_tag_sprite", object = tag_sprite, colour=G.C.CLEAR
                      }}}
                    }}
                },
              }

does it have an issue with the nodes being made from booleans?

[wintry solar]

Add an or nil in any logic to add nodes

[heavy hare]

still getting attempt to index field 'object' (a nil value)

            {
              n = G.UIT.C,
              config = {align = "cm"},

                },
              }
            } or nil

[faint yacht]

...fiddling around, maybe it'd take a bit of rewriting of the way the mod icons are prepped and such for animated mod icons to be feasable imo.

[heavy hare]

okay it's not happening on remove nvm

[heavy hare]

so it breaks when it is removed before being remade, but only when the UIBox is assigned to self.uibox

oh it was deleting the references to the AnimatedSprites on :remove() lmao

[reef belfry]

i can never EVER spell it correctly on the first try

[rapid stag]

anyone how i can do multi-box descriptions with generate_ui()? the actual syntax for it

[unborn bay]

full_UI_table.main[#full_UI_table.main+1] = { what ever fucking ui node setup you have here }

atleast that's already if you already have generate_ui setup in your card of choice

[rapid stag]

i don't, for what i want to do, i'm gonna need to move my stuff from main_end to generate_ui() i'm not confident

[unborn bay]

if you wanna see how the text description is actually parsed you might want to look into localize for that

[cursive sentinel]

got a joker that makes diamonds considered kings, although it doesnt interact with wild, and i dont seem to find how to hook wild cards info (tried ability == 'Wild Card', and ability.name == 'Wild Card'), any idea?

if next(SMODS.find_card('j_drx1_dauphine')) and (suit == 'Diamonds' or ability == 'Wild Card') then```
here, doesnt take the ability into account, guess thats because it's not how it's called, and no clue on how it would be

(bonus, how do you declare a card as a face separately to it's rank? card.is_face = true ?)

or shall i do a separate hook perhaps

[sacred lava]

Anybody got a good resource to start with? I have some experience with lua but looking at some of the other mods it seems a bit overwhelming

I tried looking for an example mod but couldnt find anything

[stiff locust]

github/smods/example_mod

[faint yacht]

Maybe a bit of my stuff could help? Though, as you mention the entire Diamonds suit being treated as Kings, you'd want to also take :get_id() into account.

[cursive sentinel]

before any modif, it was like that :

local getidref = Card.get_id
function Card:get_id()
    local id = getidref(self)
    local suit = self.base.suit
    if id == nil then
        id = 13
    end
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_drx1_dauphine')) and suit == 'Diamonds' then
        if id <= 12 or id == 14 then
            id = 13
        end
    end
    return id
end```

will check your code to see if there's my answer

but doens't seem to activate on wild cards for now, and doesn't count as faces

i see you've separated it clearly per thing, like issuit, isid and isface

[faint yacht]

You can do the SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_wild') to check if it has the Wild enhancement.

[cursive sentinel]

in the ifs? will try

had to replace the card with self but works with wilds now, thx !

i see that you did another iscardref with also pareidolia in it

is it necessary to do an additional checking in a hook like that to ensure the transformed card's id to be seen also as isface ? and to put pareidolia in it too to make sure it doesnt somehow misinteract with the base game code?

[faint yacht]

I put it there just in case.

[cursive sentinel]

i think i'll do it too then 😂

[willow plinth]

my pixel art (bottom) vs the pixel art she tells me not to worry about (top)

[cursive sentinel]

did i do it wrong? the diamond cards are still showing normally even against the boss that flips face cards, idk why

local isfaceref = Card.is_face
function Card:is_face(from_boss)
    if self.debuff and not from_boss then return end
    local suit = self.base.suit
    if next(SMODS.find_card('_drx1_dauphine')) and (suit == 'Diamonds' or SMODS.has_enhancement(self, 'm_wild')) or next(find_joker("Pareidolia")) then
        return true
    end
    return isfaceref(self, from_boss)
end```

[rapid stag]

doesn't work also, this removed my joker's name

[reef belfry]

how do you check if a planet card of most played hand is being used

[faint yacht]

SMODS.find_card('_drx1_dauphine') ?

Missing a j there?

[cursive sentinel]

...thank you

all works fine now, thx !!

[faint yacht]

For you can't Wee.

[cursive sentinel]

Lol

a friend of mine wanted me to make heart card considered as 2s

it's very stupid (i might do it)

[brisk rose]

it already looks fine, and the crt shader (which I personally don't use) makes it look even more seamless

[midnight coyote]

how do you look at currently selected cards

[faint yacht]

I blame @marsh radish for having me end up processing this sheet into the 4 atlases for the 4 DeckSkins.

G.hand.highlighted

[midnight coyote]

this is a list?

[faint yacht]

ye.

[midnight coyote]

alright, many thanks

im just implementing all the stuff i have art for lol

[wintry solar]

What are you trying to do?

[midnight coyote]

Is this valid

[rapid stag]

what you showed before

[wintry solar]

Just put a table of tables as your loc description

[midnight coyote]

no it would be ability, right

because ability is enhancement

which ability is a string

[rapid stag]

but i do things with this description that won't work in a loc description table

[wintry solar]

Like what?

[rapid stag]

value in (Currently: changes colour with the value. that's not possible in loc description, right?

[wintry solar]

That’s absolutely possible

[rapid stag]

[midnight coyote]

for the can_use function of my consumable, how would i check for an enhancement on both cards

do i just do an or statement

[rapid stag]

but i already have the ui code, why can't i just do this via generate_ui() that way i can also keep my animatedsprite

[midnight coyote]

for looking for an enhancement on either

[faint yacht]

If one of them has it or both?

[rapid stag]

i just don't know what i'm doing wrong

[midnight coyote]

just one

[wintry solar]

Then just carry on using your code if it works

[midnight coyote]

or either i mean

[faint yacht]

or.

[midnight coyote]

so if G.blahblahblah[1].ability = "blahblahblah" or G.blahblahblah[2].ability = "blahblahblah"

and this wont error out if the second index simply isnt present, right?

[daring fern]

It would because you would be indexing a nil value.

[midnight coyote]

okay

how do i remediate this

[crisp coral]

why the fuck are you hardcoding the description

[faint yacht]

if (G.hand.highlighted[1] and G.hand.highlighted[1].ability) or (G.hand.highlighted[2] and G.hand.highlighted[2].ability)

[midnight coyote]

got it

and does this work\

you put else statements before the end if im not mistaken

wait why am i asking ive just ought to see if it works

[faint yacht]

Sometimes it is needed.

Though, sometimes, it can be as simple as

can_use = function(self, card, area, copier)
  return G.playing_cards and #G.playing_cards > 1
end,

[rapid stag]

...i'm gonna have an aneurysm please. i just want to know why my code in generate_ui() is:

• removing the joker's name
• not splitting into multiple boxes
  that's all. i'm not shopping for alternate solutions to this

[crisp coral]

wdym by splitting into multiple boxes

also full_UI_table.name = localize{type = 'name', key = desc_key, set = self.set, name_nodes = {}, vars = specific_vars or {}}

you might also want to worry about the debuffed and undiscovered descriptions

if not self.discovered and card.area ~= G.jokers then
    localize{type = 'descriptions', key = 'und_'..self.key, set = "Other", nodes = desc_nodes, vars = vars}
elseif specific_vars and specific_vars.debuffed then
    localize{type = 'other', key = 'debuffed_default', nodes = desc_nodes}
else
    -- your custom ui
end

[unborn bay]

kinda like this

[rapid stag]

#💻・modding-dev message

yes

[wintry solar]

Because you’re editing generate ui wrong

[red flower]

full_UI_table.main is the main description box, that's not going to make more boxes

[wintry solar]

Just do it in the easy way

[rapid stag]

i was told by someone else to do that #💻・modding-dev message

[wintry solar]

Use main_end to put your sprite at the end of the main box, and then use the new feature for your multiple boxes

[crisp coral]

if it doesnt appear then it probably doesnt exist

what new feature whuh

[rapid stag]

new with newest smods version

you can populate loc_text descriptions with multiple tables of text and it'll do that

[unborn bay]

new smods feature that allows for multiple [[[box]]]

the method im currently using just uses a lovely patch to do it

[crisp coral]

oh cool

i dont need it

[wintry solar]

Super easy to do

[crisp coral]

wait what the fuck do you mean by multiple tables of text

[wintry solar]

So you know how descriptions are normally tables of strings?

Just use a table of those tables

[crisp coral]

god

[rapid stag]

as in

loc_text = {
  name = 'bla',
  text = {
    { 'hi' },
    { 'xd'  }
  }
}

[crisp coral]

what the fuck is a backwards compatibility 🔥🔥🔥

[unborn bay]

i would switch to this if you had the ability to change the boxes' color which doesn't seem to be the case currently

[wintry solar]

Yeah I was considering colours

[unborn bay]

that and i don't want to update to a dev smods version just yet

[crisp coral]

is it only for descriptions type loc

[wintry solar]

It is back compat myst don’t worry

[midnight coyote]

is this a little too unreadable

[crisp coral]

return #G.jokers.cards > 0

pls

[midnight coyote]

oh

thats alot simpler

[wintry solar]

It works on the “other” type too whatever that is used for (I know it’s used for boosters for some reason)

[midnight coyote]

why isnt this being reached?

here's the whole use func

[crisp coral]

lol of course my blind passive system doesnt work with it

[midnight coyote]

 use = function(self, card, area, copier)
    local potential_victims = {}
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
      if G.jokers.cards[i]:can_calculate(true) and not G.jokers.cards[i].ability.eternal then
        table.insert(potential_victims, G.jokers.cards[i])
      end
    end

    local victim = pseudorandom_element(potential_victims, pseudoseed("I LOVE AMONG US"))
    if not victim then return end -- Safety check

    victim.getting_sliced = true
    G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1

    -- Store reference in local variable for closure
    local dissolve_target = victim
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      trigger = 'immediate',
      blockable = false,
      func = function()
        if dissolve_target and dissolve_target.start_dissolve then
          dissolve_target:start_dissolve()
        end
        G.GAME.joker_buffer = 0
        return true
      end
    }))
    --[[ And Thus begins  the part where i purify the cards. I'm not worried for if they are cursed or not, thats checked in can_use...
    -- Now, in a perfect world only cursed cards will be selected, but I'll make sure that the cards are cursed before operating on them.--]]
    for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
      if G.hand.highlighted[i].ability == "m_astropulvis_cursed" then
        G.hand.highlighted[i]:juice_up(0.3, 1)
        G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability("m_astropulvis_purified")
      end
    end
  end,

[unborn bay]

what kind of seed name is "I LOVE AMONG US"

😭

[crisp coral]

a based one

[midnight coyote]

get on my fucking level idk what to tell you

[zealous glen]

The game or the character

[hearty mesa]

Is there a similar function to SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start) that is called every ante?

[midnight coyote]

so uhh

why is my if statement not reachable

[zealous glen]

among us

[midnight coyote]

below the event

[crisp coral]

what character

[zealous glen]
