[crisp coral]

that is not a character

[midnight coyote]

please

help me

[wintry solar]

There’s an easy fix for this that I can add later

[midnight coyote]

;-;

[hearty mesa]

bonk

[midnight coyote]

PLEASE

[reef belfry]

this DOES check if the consumable being used is not a planet right

[midnight coyote]

wait

[zealous glen]

Ability is a table isn’t it

[midnight coyote]

i don’t know

[hasty mist]

i wonder what this does

[zealous glen]

Then why did you check equality with something you don’t know

[midnight coyote]

because i’m making educated guesses

[reef belfry]

isnt that the dude from cryptid

[shell timber]

that's a species

[red flower]

not x == y is wrong it should be x ~= y or not (x == y)

[zealous glen]

It’s like Mario both the species and the individual are named Mario

[shell timber]

i suppose

[midnight coyote]

ugh

what the fuck am i even doing

let me do some debug print statements

lets figure out whats in ability

[zealous glen]

SMODS provides a function to see if a card has an enhancement

[red flower]

you can print values and tables, that's how i learn what everything means

[midnight coyote]

i need to see if it has a specific one

[hearty mesa]

bump

[zealous glen]

That’s what the function does

[midnight coyote]

hm alright

could i be englightened?

[zealous glen]

I think so. I think that it’s SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals

[hearty mesa]

I'll try that

[midnight coyote]

thanks

so that would be SMODS.has_enhancement(G.cards.highlighted[i],"m_astropulvis_cursed"

if im correct

[hearty mesa]

hey wait a minute

[red flower]

yeah

[hearty mesa]

i am so stupid

[zealous glen]

;)

[unborn bay]

hi n creator of joyousspring

[zealous glen]

[midnight coyote]

or g.hand

whatever

[red flower]

hiiii

[unborn bay]

you should play joyousspring

[red flower]

you should play joyousspring

[zealous glen]

It’s spelled “haya” not “hiii”

;P

[hard needle]

temu pareidolia

[icy oak]

thats

actually interesting

[midnight coyote]

when does this calculate? how does it work with plant?

i’m curious

[crisp coral]

that character is not among us, nor a character from among us

[hard needle]

i don't think it calculates, it's just an is_face hook lmao

i'll see how it works with the plant

[icy oak]

imagine it just keeps flipping like misprint

thatd be funny

[zealous glen]

I’m not gonna keep the joke going to not clutter the dev chat

[hard needle]

does what i expected it to do

[unborn bay]

this is scary

[icy oak]

face cards dont change it seems(?)

[reef belfry]

how would you stop a planet card from leveling up a hand

[hard needle]

face cards don't change

like king, queen and jack are obviously face cards

although maybe i should've worded that a little bit better

[icy oak]

^

[hushed field]

hook the level up hand func!

[hard needle]

what about "all non-face cards"

[icy oak]

maybe

i was thinking like "every card has a 1 in 2 chance of being a face card sounds like a funny idea"

J of diamonds doesnt proc photochad but 2 of spades does

[unborn bay]

spades numero uno

[icy oak]

how do i make the uh

joker noise

i guess the hanging chad/mime noise to be more specific

[midnight coyote]

131 of clubs

[rapid stag]

what am i doing wrong?
the main_end goes into the first box instead of the last as intended, and i don't think i'm setting the colour right...?

[red flower]

for the color you use {B:1,C:white}

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[rapid stag]

ohhhh forgot about that

what do i do about my sprite being in the wrong place?

[red flower]

main_end probably works with the main description box, you'd have to ask eremel for that one

[faint yacht]

...this looks about right or am I tripping?

[rapid stag]

eremel told me directly to use main_end if i want to put my sprite at the end of the description

[red flower]

it says end of main box

[red flower]

it should be an extra X3 so it looks right to me

[faint yacht]

Right, then figured out the proper way for that.

[rapid stag]

i figured 'main box' referred to the description as a whole. it wouldn't make sense for it to refer just to the first box given what i showed in prior screenshots and stated what i wanted, for something to be stated that was counter to what i was asking for

[red flower]

i agree
but also you can use generate_ui just for that bit probably

instead of the whole thing

[rapid stag]

doing that replaces the entire description with the sprite.

[red flower]

i mean you would have to do it in a different way than what you were doing before
i couldnt tell you how because this feature was literally released yesterday and i havent looked too much into it yet

[rapid stag]

so should i go back to the way i was originally trying to do it by manually building the whole description in ``generate_ui()`?

[hushed field]

you can create a function that calls and outputs the base function by just including this! SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)

[red flower]

thats not what i said but if that's what you want to do lol
you also don't need to finish every feature as soon as possible. you can leave what you had before until you figure out how to make this one work

[rapid stag]

i put that at the start of my generate_ui() and it causes a crash

[red flower]

did you add a colours table to loc_vars after using B:1

[stark geode]

hey does anyone know how to make a joker output a custom mr bones message without modifying the loc files

[hushed field]

that crash is basically always incorrect info_queue, but in this case probably an issue with localize! I can't help in too much detail, but both Kino and JoyousSpring use a custom generate_ui function you could check out to see how they do it

[red flower]

yes, eremel added it recently i think
return the string instead of true

[rapid stag]

oh it takes a colours table
...ok, so maybe i am not capable of reading the wiki page

[stark geode]

it just said "ERROR"

[red flower]

hmm it might need to be a loc key let me check

[thin anchor]

is this correct for applying a shader to an edition?
(testing with vanilla shaders)

[red flower]

yeah it needs to be a key to a dictionary loc

like "k_mod_saved"

[heady glen]

To answer your question, yes, it does say joker

Could you elaborate on this?

[rapid stag]

figured it out

you need to append to an element in .multi_box and not to .main

[willow plinth]

like that (sorry for the crappy image)

[heady glen]

Gotcha

[rapid stag]

red car 🚗

[willow plinth]

here's a state diagram of balatro, in case anyone else needs it

btw: is it normal that SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED overrides the other booster pack states?

just realized the diagram is garbage because handPlayed can also lead to drawToHand - will fix it when i'm sane again

[hushed field]

could you post this in #1349064230825103441 too? Not sure if state diagrams are very starter pack-esque, but it's a good place to gather resources

[willow plinth]

i can remind myself to do that once it's fixed yes :D

didn't even realize that thread existed, discord is so

[lunar briar]

is there any documentation about how to spawn a joker in? (similar to riff raff ig)

[faint yacht]

SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Joker' }) is the shortest way.

[lunar briar]

is that random?

[red flower]

yes, but you can specify a key instead
more documentation here
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[lunar briar]

❤️ thanks

[faint yacht]

For SMODS.Back's calculate, how do I access the config of the deck, assuming calculate = function(self, back, context)? Don't want to modify the actual initial prototype object for this.

back.effect.config it was.

[crisp coral]

i love how this is still shorter than my longest joker

[fossil ore]

how can i make a joker with a use button

[red flower]

hook card:highlight

[fossil ore]

i see

[heady glen]

How's this?

[willow plinth]

yeah that looks awesome!

[heady glen]

sweet! I'll get to the clock now rq

[willow plinth]

remember i'm only a guy with opinions, feel free to ignore them ya know

[heady glen]

I'm aware, I just thought your advice would make my card designs better actually

[hearty mesa]

is there a way to trigger effects from a tag without destroying it?

i'm trying to do a "decrease blind size by 25% for the next two blinds" sorta thing

[willow plinth]

aren't there already tags that do this?
there's definitely tags like that in a mod i played, one sec

[heady siren]

I put this in #⚙・modding-general but not many people responded, which one looks better?

[willow plinth]

my ranking would be (from best to worst) 3, 1, 2

2 looks like only the bottom left is glowing

but in the other ones the bottom left color clashes with the similar background imo

[lunar briar]

is there also a list of like contexts? like if i wanted to do something at the begining of the round?

[heady siren]

I personally think the first one looks the best

First one uses text colors, second one uses the playing card colors, and the third one uses the suit mult joker colors directly

[hearty mesa]

beginning of round is context.setting_blind

all contexts are here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[willow plinth]

i see...the bottom right (diamond i assume) could also be a bit narrower, no?

[heady siren]

It's thicker because I'm trying to avoid sharp corners

[willow plinth]

and if the colors of the center are "fixed" than maybe the background could change?

[willow plinth]

you have the same-ish kind of "sharp" corner on the top of the spade, i feel like it could be fine

[lunar briar]

thank you!

[willow plinth]

but i definitely like the concept all in all

[hearty mesa]

yw

[willow plinth]

there is a mod that has a tag that works like the misprint joker across several rounds, i just can't find it now sorry

[heady siren]

This is a joker that adds up to 4 temporary aces to your hand on first draw, one of each suit, that's the main concept I'm trying to convey

While editing it, I ended up with just the background while organizing variants, how does this look?

Honestly just the background looks kinda good

[hushed field]

tags only get destroyed when you call the yep function, but they can have effects that do not call them!

[hearty mesa]

would I do it like this? ```lua
apply = function(self, tag, context)
if context.after then
...

[willow plinth]

just realized discord's image viewer is NOT made for original size pixel art lol - can you maybe show it in game or resize it?

[hushed field]

no, not exactly. I removed tags from Kino a while back, but I'll grab some old code that still has this functionality. I don't think it's apply that triggers them, but I might be misremembering

[hearty mesa]

thx

[heady glen]

Solution: make the image double the size (the game has an option to trigger a high graphic resolution that you’ll need to create bigger jokers for regardless)

[heady siren]

In-game there's also a color filter though, so I might as well show it with that

[willow plinth]

i like the bg too in theory, but i just don't like the lack of contrast in relation to the bottom left color personally

[heady siren]

They're the colors from already existing jokers

And I wanna try to stay true to that

So I'd change the dark background rather than the ace colors

[hushed field]

sorry, i was giving wrong information. You're right, it is apply! This is some old code of mine of a tag that retriggers the first card of each suit, which only disappears if the hand's fully done or all suits have been triggered.

    config = {type = 'repetition_check', type_end = 'hand_played', retriggers = 1},
    set_ability = function(self, tag)
        tag.ability.suits = {}
    end,
    apply = function(self, tag, context)

        -- Check for right context.
        if context.type == tag.config.type then

            -- Check for suits already encountered
            local _is_viable = true
            for i = 1, #tag.ability.suits do
                if context.card.config.card.suit == tag.ability.suits[i] then
                    _is_viable = false
                    break
                end 
            end

            if _is_viable and 
            context.card.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.m_stone then
                tag.ability.suits[#tag.ability.suits + 1] = context.card.config.card.suit

                return {
                    card = context.card,
                    effect = nil,
                    repetitions = tag.config.retriggers,
                    message = localize('k_again_ex')
                }
            end
        end

        -- after hand is played, disappear
        if context.type == tag.config.type_end and context.after then
            tag:yep('+', G.C.GOLD,function() 
                return true
            end)
            tag.triggered = true
            return true
        end
    end,
    no_collection = true,
    in_pool = function()
        return false
    end,
    set_chocolate_bonus = function(self, chocolate_bonus)
        
        if chocolate_bonus then
            self.config.retriggers = self.config.retriggers + chocolate_bonus
        end

    end
}```

[hearty mesa]

ahhh, tysm

i assume this is because i'm not doing a card-specific effect, but nothing happens lol

(the burn one is the only one that has any code lol)

[heady siren]

Here's the jokers in-game, first one is based on text colors, second one is based on playing card colors, third one is based on suit mult joker colors with no transparency, and the last one is the suit mult joker colors but only the outline shape, which is my personal favorite

Which one looks the best?

[brazen tusk]

Last one imo

Just a lot cleaner

[heady siren]

Do you think it would look better with a full white outline, no outline, or how it is right now with the white lines in the center?

[brazen tusk]

I’d definitely try the full outline

[hearty mesa]

this is my code btw (i replaced the variable names for brevity)

SMODS.Tag {
    config = {type = "after"},
    apply = function(self, tag, context)
        if context.type == tag.ability.type then
            modify_blind((100 - [POTENCY]) / 100)
            [COUNT] = [COUNT] - 1
            if [COUNT] == 0 then [POTENCY] = 0 end
            tag:juice_up()
            return {}
        end
    end

[subtle hawk]

My non-coder ass is so confused right now, just now this thing was working in the game just fine but now it doesn't return the message and I don't think I even did anything???

[willow plinth]

try all of them with white outline if you can, i feel like 1 and 3 also have potential

[heady siren]

Full outline vs no outline

I'm honestly not sure between these two

No outlines looks real classy

[willow plinth]

100% with outline

[shell timber]

i like the no outline more

[hearty mesa]

in the return value you'll need to put a card value, like card = card or card = ToTheRight

also you probably shouldn't capitalise message, just convention tho

[brazen tusk]

See how a 2 wide outline looks?

[shell timber]

also that outline seems unusually thin?

[subtle hawk]

But like, it worked without that? Or maybe I'm going insane

[brazen tusk]

I think no outline is looking better rn though

[shell timber]

what resolution is the art at?

[brazen tusk]

Oh true

[subtle hawk]

I think it was actually capitalization, because it works now! How did I change capitalization on accident is beyond me tho

[hearty mesa]

strange xD

[hearty mesa]

@hushed field sorry for ping, but i'm still getting an issue

[heady siren]

Standard 71x95

Here's with the 2 wide outline, and I filled the shapes because otherwise it looks terrible

I'm torn between this one and the no outline one

[willow plinth]

can the outline be brighter?

[heady siren]

The no outline one has a certain simplicity to it

[willow plinth]

yes but the outline one has contrast to it xD (maybe i'm just colorblind)

[heady siren]

I could change the background color

Full brightness outline

[willow plinth]

the edge looks jagged somehow but i like it a lot

[wintry solar]

100% the capitalisation, you don’t need to specify a card, if the automatic positioning isn’t what you want youd need to add message_card = somecardhere

[stark geode]

how would i remove somthing form a pool

[heady siren]

Also here's a slightly cursed joker [=

[crisp coral]

@manic rune

[stark geode]

like removing a voucher from the voucher pool

[manic rune]

long descriptions 🥀

[orchid nest]

trying to prevent jokers from being destroyed,
i tried injecting this and got this error:
engine/object.lua:35: attempt to call method 'init' (a nil value)

[manic rune]

thats a really odd looking for loop

[orchid nest]

i just started a couple days ago

so im unfamiliar with the best ways to look for jokers/optimize :p

[manic rune]

for _,joker in ipairs (G.jokers.cards) do

[orchid nest]

oh shit that's right

you use cards

😭

[manic rune]

no wait i got the order wrong

there

but also - ur probably better off checking for the joker's key instead

[orchid nest]

what's the difference between x in table vs _, x in ipairs(table) again?

[orchid nest]

mk ty

im guessing i need my mod prefix too?

so
mod_prefix_jokerkey

[manic rune]

does the first one even work?

[orchid nest]

no clue

[manic rune]

j_prefix_jokerkey

[orchid nest]

i'll try it and take your word for it

[lunar briar]

how does one use a joker to destroy a joker (ig like madness?)

[orchid nest]

mk i see

tyvm

[manic rune]

no probs

[orchid nest]

here! the code for madness. i needed to find it myself :)

 if self.ability.name == 'Madness' and not context.blueprint and not context.blind.boss then
    self.ability.x_mult = self.ability.x_mult + self.ability.extra
    local destructable_jokers = {}
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= self and not G.jokers.cards[i].ability.eternal and not G.jokers.cards[i].getting_sliced then destructable_jokers[#destructable_jokers+1] = G.jokers.cards[i] end
    end
    local joker_to_destroy = #destructable_jokers > 0 and pseudorandom_element(destructable_jokers, pseudoseed('madness')) or nil

    if joker_to_destroy and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced then 
        joker_to_destroy.getting_sliced = true
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
            (context.blueprint_card or self):juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
            joker_to_destroy:start_dissolve({G.C.RED}, nil, 1.6)
        return true end }))
    end
    if not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced then
        card_eval_status_text((context.blueprint_card or self), 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {self.ability.x_mult}}})
    end
end

getting the game's source code is a really good way to figure out how to write jokers and understand how the game's code flows

[lunar briar]

yeah i have been looking through the smod docs but not looked much through the game code itself

[orchid nest]

that's because it uses a different format

here's how i wrote my code for my madness like joker:

note. it is very sketch.

[heady siren]

Went with the base game double outline effect, and added some very light shading, I think I've got a zinger here

[orchid nest]

looks nice!!

my friend made this joker sprite design and it looks super nice

[heady siren]

Very colorful

[heady siren]

I think that's one of the coolest full size jokers I've seen before

[orchid nest]

oh dude

so sick

[brazen tusk]

Looks great

[orchid nest]

(thank you @maiden mauve)

[orchid nest]

this part worked, but for some reason it won't stop the slicing...

[red flower]

joker.config.center.key

but also you can replace that whole loop with next(SMODS.find_card("j_your_key"))

[brazen tusk]

Looks really good, reminds me of those children’s magnet toys weirdly

[orchid nest]

yo tysm

[lunar briar]

yeah i guess i was just hoping there would be a call for it . im still pretty new to lua

[subtle hawk]

Only just now realized that it triggers for EVERY card to the right, not one. What am I missing?

[orchid nest]

we all start somewhere!
at least you didnt start with the binding of isaac qwq

[lunar briar]

lmao that bad?

[orchid nest]

i haven't messed with repentagon yet, but base is so ass.

the more i mess with balatro, which i only started a few days ago, the more i love the lovely injector over proper support atm

[heady siren]

This is the only reason I even know lua

[willow plinth]

-# 10k hours wtf

[orchid nest]

j esus

[heady siren]

-# On this account alone, it's about double that across all of my old accounts

This game was my childhood and is now a large part of my adulthood

For better or for worse

[lunar briar]

i mean i played a fair bit of gmod but holy

[willow plinth]

i don't even understand garry's mod, always sounded like roblox for pre gen-zers to me but you have ten thousand and seven hundred hours on whaaat

[formal parrot]

@wintry solar hello mr eremel sorry for ping but i wanna ask

[heady siren]

Most Roblox games encourage you to engage with their systems and mechanics above all else, but Garry's Mod encourages you to engage with people above all else, if you boil it down Garry's Mod is more of a social game than anything

[formal parrot]

Can i use the functions in cryptid ? Like local jokers ?

Or do i just stick with smods.joker

[wintry solar]

donmt use cryptids code as a reference

[formal parrot]

Why not

[heady siren]

Cryptid is broken from a balance standpoint and a code standpoint, but that's a given with how insane that mod is

[wintry solar]

a lot of it is written in a needlessly complicated way

[heady siren]

Still a very good mod, but held together with duct tape and popsicle sticks

[formal parrot]

Mhm

So i just stick to the smods

[wintry solar]

100%

[heady siren]

That's what has the most documentation and will be the most compatible with other mods

[wintry solar]

cryptid is fine to reference for specific effects, but generally I dont recommend it

[formal parrot]

Thanks a lot

[heady siren]

That and it won't break with updates as often as Cryptid references probably will

[formal parrot]

Do i use talisman ? In my mod

Like Tables

[wintry solar]

I would advise against it

jank ass mod

[formal parrot]

Against?

Wow

Why’s that

[heady siren]

It's jank but fun

There's a reason Cryptid breaks so many mods, and is best used by itself

[wintry solar]

the way it handles big numbers isn't compatible with other mods and it forces any other mods to specifically cater for it, I don't like that at all

[formal parrot]

Does ortalab not use talisman

[wintry solar]

no

[formal parrot]

Ohhhh

Thanks for the advice

I’ll keep it in mind

[wintry solar]

I also don't find "big number go brrr" fun so there's that too

[willow plinth]

fwiw you can write mods to be compatible with and without talisman afaik

[formal parrot]

Same

[wintry solar]

if you do want to make ridiculously large numbers feel free to use it

[heady siren]

It's basically a library mod, so honestly I can argue for it forcing other mods to cater to it, it fundumentally modifies how the game works for the better in my opinion

[formal parrot]

Nope don’t want that actually

[wintry solar]

forcing other mods to change how they do something as basic as comparing numbers is not good design

[red flower]

A library doesn't force other libraries to comply to it most of the time

[heady siren]

If it was built into Steamodded as the default it would be much better

[wintry solar]

no it wouldnt

it would still be a problemm

having to wrap every number comparison in tobig() is not a good standard

[heady siren]

I should clarify, built into Steamodded from the start

[willow plinth]

yeah it's not forcing anyone, also how else would you implement something like that?

[heady siren]

And built in without a specific method like that

[wintry solar]

they should just do that on their own end

if they do I wouldn't have a problem with it

[subtle hawk]

Brrr how do I make it only trigger for one joker only and not all of the jokers to right my head is kinda melting

[wintry solar]

but in it's current state it's too aggressive in what it modifies for a library

[heady siren]

It's only a problem because mods aren't made to be compatible with it by default

[formal parrot]

Can i make my mod compatible with cryptid without talisman ?

[heady siren]

You can't even run Cryptid without Talisman I believe, so no

[subtle hawk]

Oh wait I fucked up completely, now it triggers for left too. Gotta go back

[heady siren]

Then again I've been wrong about what Cryptid requires before, so take that with a grain of salt

[red flower]

it would still be very annoying to wrap all comparisons in to_big

[midnight coyote]

how do i clear an edition/enhancement/seal off of a card

[heady siren]

Thus why I said this

[red flower]

but they can just add that to talisman if it was possible

[icy oak]

bump

[midnight coyote]

?

[red flower]

:set_ability("c_base") for enhancements, :set_edition(nil) for edition, :set_seal(nil) for seals

im pretty sure, never did the last 2

[midnight coyote]

thanks

[stark geode]

Does anyone know the name of the card area for the vouchers in shop

[zealous glen]

Maybe shop_vouchers

[red flower]

G.shop_vouchers yeah

[maiden phoenix]

I'm so going to jail for doing this

[broken rivet]

in my case it's the minecraft figura mod

[zealous glen]

How do I access one or all of a playing card's suits?

[broken rivet]

(playing card).ability.base.suit i think?
don't exactly remember but the code for castle in vanilla uses it iirc

[zealous glen]

I'm wondering if there's a more versatile method in SMODS to account for Smeared-like effects

[broken rivet]

:is_suit()?

[zealous glen]

But I'm not asking if it is a specific suit

[broken rivet]

ah

[zealous glen]

I just want all of them

[maiden phoenix]

SMODS has recently made an util function for smeared effect

[broken rivet]

i'm pretty sure you can just check if it's smeared

oh

[maiden phoenix]

Idk if it's what you want

[zealous glen]

Do you know the name

[maiden phoenix]

It has smeared in it, just ctrl+shift+f it

[red flower]

SMODS.smeared_check

[zealous glen]

I know I could do what I want by iterating over the list of suits and checking each one with is_suit manually

[red flower]

?

[zealous glen]

I want to know if SMODS makes that easier because it sounds like it should

[zealous glen]

I think not. It just handles Smeared

[red flower]

i dont think it does

[broken rivet]

i think the game has all of the suits stored somewhere

[zealous glen]

Do you know how to access the list of all Suits?

SMODS.Suits?

[red flower]

yeah that should be it

[zealous glen]

Should it have a callback or not?

[midnight coyote]

how do i do the flint thing

where jt plays the anim and sound

i wanna do it for my blind

is it like a event

[zealous glen]

What exactly

[midnight coyote]

ah nvm

more pressing issues

like how this doesnt work

why doesnt this work

[zealous glen]

it doesn't work because you're trying to access variables that haven't been defined

[midnight coyote]

hm

why aren’t they defined?

[zealous glen]

are these chips and mult in the room with us right now

[midnight coyote]

this is after scoring so they should be there?

[zealous glen]

no

[midnight coyote]

or right before the end of scoring

[zealous glen]

the function doesn't receive them as an input

and they aren't global variables

[midnight coyote]

so how do i manipulate them?

[zealous glen]

so the function doesn't know what you're talking about

So either you use the vanilla, non-calculate method or you try to see if the context provides them, or if SMODS makes them accessible somewhere else

[midnight coyote]

okay

vanilla method

let’s do that

urgh

[zealous glen]

Wait hold on

[midnight coyote]

hm

[zealous glen]

Ah you're doing it after scoring

Not on Flint's timing

[midnight coyote]

yeah the whole gimmick is that it takes a bite out of it right at the end

[zealous glen]

Try reading the wiki to see if SMODS provides what you want there

Otherwise you might need a hook or something

[heady glen]

Mobil 1, you put it in your engines

[red flower]

does it crash

[midnight coyote]

no

it just doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do

[red flower]

what does it do

[midnight coyote]

nothing

[red flower]

did you test if it enters the if

the cardarea check might not be needed

[midnight coyote]

should i use a print to test this

[red flower]

always

[midnight coyote]

never reached

let me

omit the last bit

now it crashes

so the code is reached but i need to pull chips from somewhere

[red flower]

ok yes i think it's hand_chips

[stark geode]

i hate modding this game some times

[midnight coyote]

do i put this as the current value and the return value

like in both parts of the equation for the return

[red flower]

chips = hand_chips * value

[midnight coyote]

mult stays the same?

[red flower]

yes

[heady glen]

bruh

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[midnight coyote]

we got another on

alright it works but not as intended

i need it to subtract mult

not give it

or divide mult i mean

[red flower]

then do the opposite calculation

[stark geode]

😭 so may tabels

[midnight coyote]

so have it subtract x0.25 mult?

and chips

[red flower]

yeah

im pretty sure that should work

[midnight coyote]

can i just put a subtraction symbol on my parenthesis

[red flower]

idk where you mean

[zealous glen]

@red flower you're more intelligent what do you think

[midnight coyote]

let me just try it

[red flower]

it's a pretty function i would hang out with it

[zealous glen]

[red flower]

i dont understand what the callback is for

[zealous glen]

efficiency

[midnight coyote]

how do i do the flint animation where it juices up the chips and mult as it takes it away

and plays a sound

[red flower]

hmm still don't get it
why do you need a partial list of suits

specially when table order is not guaranteed

[zealous glen]

I don't actually; I just want to find the first suit it is that it hasn't seen

so instead of going over the whole list it just breaks and exits early

I have the same issue with SMODS.find_card where sometimes I don't care how many cards there are, just that there is one

[red flower]

oh i feel like that's too specific of a case for a callback in that function and it also has the problem of order not being guaranteed

i dont think the performance matters that much

[zealous glen]

I guess I PR without the callback

[midnight coyote]

hey so if i wanted to temporarily remove the suit of the entire deck would i need to store the entire deck’s suits for the blind

[zealous glen]

you could hook SMODS.has_no_suit

[midnight coyote]

i don’t understand what hook means in this instance

apologies

OH MY GOD

<@&1133519078540185692> sorry

[midnight coyote]

anyways

[red flower]

you dont know what hook means or you dont know what he's telling you to hook for?

[midnight coyote]

don’t know what hook means in this context

[red flower]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[midnight coyote]

hmm

confusing

[scarlet spire]

its variables and tables all the way down

[midnight coyote]

okay

so hooking is when you like

intercept a function?

letting you alter the game without modifying source code

[maiden wraith]

quick question to yall, which one do you prefer to refer to jokers? (don't mind the actual joker, just the part at the bottom)

[midnight coyote]

left

[red flower]

yeah

[maiden wraith]

kay thx

[midnight coyote]

okay.. it makes a bit more sense

so you redefine a function

so how would this be relevant in the context of SMODS.has_no_suit

[red flower]

the idea is to hook it so it always return true when your blind is active

i think

[midnight coyote]

OH

I GET IT!

it just clicked

this is so cool ONG

OMG

[burnt cairn]

whats the format for making differently sized jokers like photograph?

[zealous glen]

there's like two options to pass to Jokers, one of them is display_size, check the wiki

one changes the size of the image the other the size you can hover over I think

[burnt cairn]

🫡 thanks

[midnight coyote]

what are the args for has_no_suit

i’m trying to hook but it’s crashing when i do it

[zealous glen]

is this illegal

[zealous glen]

it takes a card

[midnight coyote]

so this is bad

and this is good

[red flower]

it's funny

[red flower]

what's set_blind

[midnight coyote]

when the blind starts up

[red flower]

you should hook outside a function

[midnight coyote]

that doesn’t make sense to me. why would i do that before i needed it? i’m not arguing, just curious.

got this crash

[zealous glen]

I'm starting to do it more often and I'm scaring myself

[red flower]

because it's easier to check for mistakes if you are not dinamically overwriting functions, and also that might make it so you do it more than once

[zealous glen]

you'll hook again each type the function is called

[midnight coyote]

well i’m temporarily overwriting the function, yes?

[red flower]

also this is not a hook, you're just replacing the function so it will cause conflicts

[midnight coyote]

o

hm

a hook calls the original function as well

right

[red flower]

yes

[midnight coyote]

so i would call the original function

so what do i do with the return value of that

so let’s say

this function has more than one return

which it probably does

i have no idea, i don’t see it in documentation

how would i control just the one that gets me to where i want

[red flower]

local smods_has_no_suit_ref = SMODS.has_no_suit
function SMODS.has_no_suit(card)
  if your blind is active then
     return true
  end
  return smods_has_no_suit_ref(card)
end

this is what you want to do

[midnight coyote]

ohhh

i see

so i intercept only if it fills the condition

should i put this in like a

utilities.lua file

like make it into its own thing

[red flower]

if you want

[midnight coyote]

so now i need to check to see if the dip is active

can i make a second, optional parameter

to the hooked function

or is this bad practice

[urban wasp]

question: i am currently coding a joker that i wish to have this effect

Pigmentum Joker
When Blind selected, destroy Joker to the right and add its rarity value to n
Retrigger all Jokers n times
-# (Common/Uncommon = 0, Uncommon = 1, Rare = 2, etc)
(Currently 0 Retriggers)
Exotic Ascended Canvas

the code that i am using will be posted in a moment, but the main issue with it is that it simply isn't gaining any retriggers for some reason; any help is appreciated
also, a lot of the code to destroy stuff was borrowed from the dagger jokers from cryptid

also, no effect is done when destroying the joker to the right

sob

[red flower]

its bad practice unless you really need it but you dont, just check G.GAME.blind

[midnight coyote]

does G.GAME.blind report the key of the blind

[burnt cairn]

i have no idea how to navigate the wiki

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key

[midnight coyote]

alright

would it be prefix first

i’d assume so

but just checking

[red flower]

bl_modprefix_key i think

[midnight coyote]

okay

function hooked

now what do i do

just try it out?

[red flower]

yeah

[midnight coyote]

if the check is hooked then they should all be suitless i think

YEP!!

I CANT PLAY A FLUSH

OH MY GOD

THIS IS GREAT

[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 (that being "Silly")

[gusty iron]

is there anyway to make your own deck using smods?

[midnight coyote]

SMODS.Back

[gusty iron]

thanks

[regal ether]

ugh..,. im trying to make a challenge that starts you out with the custom stuff im making so i dont have to keep rerolling searching for my one joker and it's giving me Attempt to index local center (nil)
1: joker code
2: challenge code

[midnight coyote]

DebugPlus

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

just use this

2 to discover it

in the collection

[regal ether]

i was aware there was likely a tool to just give you stuff but this is also teaching me how to make challenges that dont crash lol

ty though

[burnt cairn]

trying to make make a differently sized joker like photograph. i have no idea where on the wiki i should be looking can i get a hand

i dunno if its just me but i canNOT navigate the wiki like at all

[regal ether]

?

what seems to be the problem

[regal ether]

i saw the answer to this before im looking for it rn

okay yeah i forgor

[limber blaze]

is it possible to hide a consumabletype from the collection

[high sinew]

one of my jokers systems is a leviling thing so i basically remove the previous joker its on and add new one is this the best way to remove it? my first two jokers of system worked but crashed on a later on having same code

[red flower]

i dont think so there have been some feature request for it

[limber blaze]

ive done some patches for now anyway

[hushed field]

Individual object rarity for jokers and consumables wasn't something someone was already making an smods feature, right?

[wild escarp]

Trying to make played 6s get permanent +2 mult, someone tell me how dumb I am.

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.perma_mult, card.ability.extra_mult}}
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.cardarea == G.play  and card:get_id() == 6 then
        context.card.ability.perma_mult = context.other_card.ability.perma_mult + context.card.ability.extra_mult
        return{
          extra = { message = localized('upgrade'), colour = G.C.Mult},
          card = card
        }
      end


    end```

[zealous glen]

@red flower @hushed field do either of you check wht are a card's suits

[hushed field]

What do you mean?

[zealous glen]

@hushed field this but like a version of it that works

[carmine burrow]

how can i make info queue boxes actually have the variables filled in?

[hushed field]

I haven't accounted for modded suits, but my set up for that is just iterating over SMODS.Suits as pairs, and passing the key to the is_suit function

[faint yacht]

vars = {...}

[zealous glen]

I had tried this but card.base.suit was nil

[carmine burrow]

that makes a lot of sense

[hushed field]

Hmm, I'm not at my pc but I can check in a moment

In this case, you're trying to set up a function that adds the card's suit to a list of found suits, right?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[crystal perch]

game crashing when trying to index 'other_card' (a nil value)

not sure why as this is pretty much the same implementation as something like baron and shoot the moon

[hushed field]

Other_card only exists within specific contexts

If you're basing this on source code, the structure of it may obfuscation that does checks happen inside of another context!

[crystal perch]

should i move the context.other_card to within the cardarea == g.hand context

[hushed field]

(context.individual for both of those)

[zealous glen]

-# obfuscate*

[hushed field]

Nope. I'm not sure if this is the best logic, but the way I try to see it is that most contexts operate on a context type, which is a bool, and then parameters. They all get passed along as parameters, but the type will always be unique. Context.joker_main, context.individual, and such, are examples of that

[hushed field]

My phone's autocorrect, I swear : 😭

[zealous glen]

Ice's English degree:

[crystal perch]

so then how would i fix this

oh i fixed it actually by just puttin everything under an if context.individual

[quick kraken]

Quick question about seals, specifically their appearance

[crystal perch]

what's up

[quick kraken]

Is it fixed to be necessarily in the seal position and shape, or can it be any texture theoretically?

If so, can it also be a texture that visually removes part of a card?

[crystal perch]

uhhh

so here's the atlas where seals are stored

as you can see their position is determined entirely by the texture

so as long as it's within the bounds of the card area it can be whatever and wherever you want

[quick kraken]

The big question is if it can be a texture that removes part of a card instead of adds on top

[crystal perch]

as for a texture that removes part of a card i'm not sure, you'd have to replace the card base much like the enhancement textures

[quick kraken]

Like a hole in the place of a seal

[crystal perch]

yes and no

it would have to be an enhancement

to my knowledge

[quick kraken]

Issue is that the idea makes sense if it specifically is a seal, not an enhancement

[zealous glen]

no

[crystal perch]

there may or may not be a colour code in balatro that it recognizes as empty space or true 0 alpha on render

but i am not aware of its existence if there is one

[quick kraken]

I'm gonna try asking somewhere else too, thanks for the input

[zealous glen]

I figured it out

[crystal perch]

you could try applying a custom shader to it

much like how gold seal has its own shader

[high sinew]

You mean for boosters and card modifiers?

[crystal perch]

a shader which would just render as transparent

[high sinew]

And having transparency

[quick kraken]

Something to try maybe

In any case, where does one find how shaders work?

[zealous glen]

The Book of Shaders maybe

[crystal perch]

message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } },

whoops

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition#working-with-shaders

linked the working with shaders part

[unborn bay]

book of shaders, shadertoy, etc.

[wild escarp]

Does anyone have experience with adding permanent mult to cards?

[crystal perch]

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

use the Runner 2 as reference (starting at line 88)

it adds perm chips but it's the same for mult

[wild escarp]

Runner adds chips to itself, I'm talking about adding it to playing cards.

Which would be like hiker.

[crystal perch]

oh then just copy the runner code

[wild escarp]

What do you mean? Runner doesn't relate at all to what I want.

[crystal perch]

sorry i meant hiker

though i think perma_bonus is only for chips,,

[wild escarp]

Yeah, perma_mult for mult, that I learned already.

[crystal perch]

oh just use that then

[wild escarp]

What's the self.ability.extra? I'm not familiar with that.

[crystal perch]

you set that in the card's ability config

just have this in your joker's smods definition

config = {
        extra = {
            perm_mult = 1
        }
    },

and then use

card.ability.extra.perm_mult

[wild escarp]

Oh, got it.

[high sinew]

You can also do gain that’s what I used didn’t know this worked too

I think it mainly is how you structure the calc function tho

[crystal perch]

you can name your extra abilities whatever you want and as long as you call it properly it'll work

[high sinew]

Yea that def sound right

I just usually call it what it’s doing lol

[crystal perch]

yeah that's why i called it perm_mult because it's for adding perm_mult to playing cards

not to the joker

[high sinew]

Since my joker gained mult on certain hands scored why I did it XD

that’s smart

I might take that idea if I do for cards 🥹

[marsh radish]

awesome

[cobalt vector]

how do I stop this from giving my Joker X0.5 mult multiple times when a Boss Blind ends, instead of just once?

        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod,
            card_eval_status_text(card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {
                message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end

[high sinew]

You should have some way to keep track of it’s level or times it’s been done. Is it also placed in config too

[crystal perch]

you could have a config value that increments on boss blind end, and if it's < 1 set the xmult

then on round start you set it to 0

[midnight coyote]

when does recalc_debuff go off

[gilded narwhal]

Okay guys if I say a jokers xmult is doubled, and I have something like X1.5 should that turn into X3 or X2

[high sinew]

3 if you are physically doubting in calc function

[gilded narwhal]

The X3 is literally just 1.5 × 2, but the 2 is 1 + (0.5 × 2)

[high sinew]

Depends on how ur scaling it

[gilded narwhal]

I just mean like for balancing

[high sinew]

That should give u 3

Yea that is more linear than doubling so you’re not exponentially doing it from glance

Keep your equation linear you’ll be good

[midnight coyote]

?

[cobalt vector]

Would it be something like this?

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.joker_main then
    return{
        message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }),
        Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
    }
end
if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss and card.ability.extra.dewit < 1 and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod,
    card.ability.extra.dewit = card.ability.extra.dewit + 1,
    card_eval_status_text(card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, {
        message = localize({ type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }),
        colour = G.C.MULT,
    })
end
if context.setting_blind and card.ability.extra.dewit == 1 then
    card.ability.extra.dewit = 0
end
  end,

[crystal perch]

instead of incremembing it by 1 just set card.ability.extra.dewit to 1

because you're looking for if it is == 1

[cobalt vector]

I use = to assign a value, and == to see if it is that value, right?

[crystal perch]

yeah

[cobalt vector]

That would be

            card.ability.extra.dewit = 1,

[crystal perch]

send a screenshot

of the whole calc function

[crystal perch]

you don't need to comma that line

example

[cobalt vector]

Looks like it works :D

Thanks!

[crystal perch]

[hollow birch]

i'm trying to add a custom enhancement and a tarot that creates it, but I'm struggling to figure out what to put as the first argument for set_ability. this is from the blue_seal example but instead of set_seal i'm doing set_ability.

any advice?

i guess i just don't know what to put for the key, cause currently i have m_credit and it doesnt work

[wintry solar]

The key you define will have m_modprefix_ added to it

[hollow birch]

got it, thanks

[midnight coyote]

is there a way to put cards back in the deck without discarding them

[wild escarp]

What would I do for copying the rightmost card?

There's gotta be a million people that have made reverse brainstorm, right?

[placid star]

is there a G.GAME thingy to check what the current antes base chip score is?

[midnight coyote]

there’s an SMODS function for it

go look at utility functions

[placid star]

i did and when i tried to call the function it had an issue with a variable G.GAME.modifiers.scaling so i eval'd it in game and it never returned any valid value...

[hollow birch]

does card.base.nominal factor in other modifications to chip value? i assume not, and if it doesn't then how would i get the chip value after all other calculations?

[daring fern]

You mean like perma chips?

[hollow birch]

ye

[daring fern]

Those are at card.ability.perma_bonus

[regal ether]

pretty sure this game has dementia rn

it thinks self.ability is nil for the joker

[shut crater]

card.ability

[sturdy compass]

in an SMODS joker object, you should never be using self

[hollow birch]

what would be the best way to give a temporary modifier to a card's chips? like for only a round

[daring fern]

Give it perma chips then remove them.

[hollow birch]

ye thats what i am doing currently, just was wondering if there was a better way

[regal ether]

also cant read chip_mod or Xmult_mod, hence the definitions

[sturdy compass]

What are chip_mod and Xmult_mod supposed to be ?

[native zinc]

_mod just adds the values without displaying a message

[regal ether]

yea im gonna worry abt the message later

[rapid stag]

ok, has anyone here drawn a star? like a 5-pointed star. really small. smallest possible scale. like i'm struggling trying to work this out and i end up drawing a house

i also remember seeing one in a sprite somewhere but i can't for the life of me remember where

[daring fern]

How could one make blue seals on jokers retriggerable?

[rapid stag]

blue + red seal, call that a purple se- wait

[scarlet spire]

this is the smallest you can reasonably get a 5-pointed star

or maybe this, if you're desperate for it to be as tiny as possible

[rapid stag]

so they can get that small
i was envisioning one a little larger, not thinking they could be smaller

[scarlet spire]

bigger than this but smaller than a large star is actually harder I think

it's this specific size where the angles are hard to make work

[rapid stag]

i know for fact that i've seen something around the range of a 7x7 star before

[placid star]

does anyone have an example of how to find the next items in a shop queue?

[rapid stag]

figured it out

[sturdy compass]

iirc cards are made at the time of the shop restocking, not really a "queue"

[placid star]

so would there be a way for a joker to display the next items to be in the shop do you think?

[sturdy compass]

no

[rapid stag]

i remember someone making a joker that predicted what would appear in booster packs
are the cards in booster packs determined when the pack is opened?

[daring fern]

You maybe could do what the soul does with the seed, but that would probably be a lot of work.

[placid star]

fuuuuuuuuckkkk

[scarlet spire]

there isn't a queue but the next shop item is always going to be the same thing on a given seed iirc, so I assume the question is more just "can I tell what the next generated shop item will be" which probably has a solution somewhere

[sturdy compass]

I guess that's possible but it seems like a lot of work to get working lol

[rapid stag]

yeah, i would try seeking out whoever made that joker that predicts the content of booster packs as iirc it does something like that, they might have some insight for you as to how to do that

[regal ether]

okay i got my thing working

(finally)

[placid star]

hm how abt a joker that has a chance to refund the cost of a booster, how could i find the cost of a booster opened

[sturdy compass]

That is very doable

boosters are also classified as "cards" so you could use the open_booster context and take the costs of it from there

[placid star]

omd im looking on the smods wiki anbd i cant find how to find the cost of a booster

[sturdy compass]

So context.open_booster returns with these values

the card value returned (being context.card) is the booster object

so you could do context.card.cost to get the cost easy peasy

[placid star]

ahh okayyy

[lucid owl]

how could i only get the tag's info_queue popup? i would rather not also have the descriptions of the packs themselves

[daring fern]

You could probably set it to {key = "tag_meteor", set = "Tag"} for each of them.

[lucid owl]

perfect, thanks!

[rustic swallow]

why does this not work

[red flower]

self is the prototype of the object not the joker, you want card instead

also you might want to be more clear about what's not working and what your effect is in the future

[rustic swallow]

its like ceremonial dagger but goes both ways

and destroying the jokers doesnt work

[red flower]

yeah replace self with card inside the function

[rustic swallow]

do i also replace the "if G.jokeers.cards[i] = self?

with card

it worked thanks

if you could also help with this one, why does this not make the cards be triggered even when i made it a 100% chance

[daring fern]

Remove the first G.GAME.probabiliites.normal

[rustic swallow]

did that but it still doesnt do anything

[daring fern]

What is your code?

[red flower]

context.individual and context.destroy_card are never true at the same time

also the return is wrong

[rustic swallow]

so i remove the context.individual

and what do i do for the return

[red flower]

just do return { remove = true }

add the message if you want

[regal ether]

is there a way to check if a skipped booster was mega in a joker's calculate

or even just to check the pack's id

that's actually easier probably

[rustic swallow]

thank you so much

[regal ether]

makin a joker that upgrades whenever a mega pack is skipped...

[red flower]

context.booster.config.center.key

[regal ether]

YIPPEE

[red flower]

took me a bit because it's not documented lol

[wild escarp]

Someone here has to know how to mod reverse brainstorm, right?

[red flower]

like brainstorm that copies the right card?

[wild escarp]

Yes

[red flower]

this #💻・modding-dev message
but put G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards] as the card (also check that it's not itself)

you need to return ret i think too

but maybe not

[violet oasis]

Is there something like G.GAME.blind.boss that is set only when you win a stake (during the VICTORY screen)? I'm trying to add a music using SMODS.Sound that plays only during that screen, but I'm not having success with G.GAME.won for example

[gentle rain]

is there any doccumentation for the different colors

[rustic swallow]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[gentle rain]

ooo didnt catch that

tyty

[rustic swallow]

np

[urban wasp]

what's the prefix for a tag? i tried t, but it didn't seem to work
on another note, what's the hex value of the common rarity?

[wild escarp]

This is all like a foreign language to me.

[red flower]

G.STATE == G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL?

[red flower]

ok

[red flower]

tag_ iirc

[urban wasp]

oh, okay

do you know the answer to the second question?

[regal ether]

attempt to index nil value center (it's just context.booster.config.key)

[urban wasp]

thank you

[red flower]

oh yeah just saw that the center is passed directly

[rapid stag]

question, does the game stack overflow if i add an object's own center to its info_queue

[red flower]

yes

[rapid stag]

why can't it just recurse a maximum amount of times

[red flower]

you need to check if not card.fake_card

[rapid stag]

what is card.fake_card

[red flower]

smods creates a fake card when it adds a tooltip

so if you check that the tooltip is not making it's own tooltip

[rapid stag]

what if i want to let it make its own tooltip, but only so many times

[red flower]

idk

add it manually

[tepid crow]

you might be able to check the current tooltip count?

[red flower]

just add the center to info_queue as many times as you want the tooltips

[tepid crow]

that'd also work yeah

[rapid stag]

truuue. i could do something like

for i = 1, [however many i want] do
  if not card.fake_card then
    info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = [card center]
  end
end

[red flower]

yeah

[violet oasis]

Doesn't work, unfortunately. Unless I'm doing something wrong: SMODS.Sound({ vol = 0.6, pitch = 0.7, key = "music_win_theme", path = "win_theme.ogg", select_music_track = function() return (G.STATE == G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL) and 0 or false end, })

[tepid crow]

don't you need higher priority than 0 for music?

(I have no idea, I just automatically assumed that for when I added my music)

[violet oasis]

I think so, but I'm also adding the same condition to stop the current music that is also at 0 priority

[tepid crow]

why not just put it to 1 regardless?

[violet oasis]

Since it's neither stopping the previous track or starting the new one, I assume it's not working

[violet oasis]

I tried before, but doesn't hurt to try again

yeah, same thing

worth a shot tho

For reference, the current track that is playing is this one: SMODS.Sound({ vol = 0.6, pitch = 0.7, key = "music_ncorp_normal", path = "NCorpNormal.ogg", select_music_track = function() return (G.GAME.selected_back.name == 'Erratic Deck' and G.GAME.blind and not G.shop) and 0 or false end, sync = { pmost_music_shop_default = true, } })

[tepid crow]

are you sure that's the correct state?

[rigid hare]

does anyone know what functions/misc_functions.lua:818 refers to? trying to help diagnose a crash

[tepid crow]

depends entirely on their lovely patches; ask for their mods/lovely/dump/functions/misc_functions.lua

[red flower]

oh i read winning a round rather than winning a stake lol yeah that's not correct then

[tepid crow]

tbf that's a debugplus win, so it might be in a different state than expected

[violet oasis]

Is that a default debug console or is it some other mod?

[rigid hare]

looks like the debugplus console

[tepid crow]

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

[violet oasis]

thank you, I'll see if it helps

[tepid crow]

balatro no have debug console

winning properly does indeed give the proper state (though this state also gets hit constantly when winning other rounds lol)

[violet oasis]

Actually G.STATE == G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL works, it's just that the "Win this Run" button didn't really trigger it. I'd just had to win a round for real

It's for every round win, but it's a start

Thanks you two!

[tepid crow]

try using G.GAME.won 👀

(though this funnily enough also doesn't seem to work with the debug "win this run" button)

Oh because win_game doesn't set that variable, and thunk normally manually sets it when calling that function

win_game()
G.GAME.won = true

[steady smelt]

logical

actually unironically probably smart

[tepid crow]

is it? must be above my paygrade then

cuz I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want win_game to set it

[violet oasis]

Yup, it's perfect lmao. I can't believe win this run was tricking me

Thanks a lot 🙏

[steady smelt]

i assume mr bones

he probably just calls win_game() and there's something to check if the game has actually been won regarding mr bones

i'd have to check tho

[tepid crow]

I don't think so

[steady smelt]

or specifically for the debug mode win button

[tepid crow]

he only calls win_game when not game_over haha

[steady smelt]

i mean he aint wrong

[tepid crow]

arguably something that might want to be "fixed" in debugplus then 🤔

[steady smelt]

debugplus just adds the default balatro debug menu plus some keybinds tho no?

so if it's like that in base game not sure why they'd change it

[tepid crow]

it adds a lot of buttons etc in the debug menu too

[steady smelt]

if they added the win game button and feature then yeah they should fix it but i think that's in the normal debug menu

[tepid crow]

including the amazing "win blind" button which is SOMEHOW not in the default debug menu

[steady smelt]

oh rlly

nvm then

[tepid crow]

I mean "win game" button is by Thunk but

[random sphinx]

texture and mod id are still WIP because i'm mostly just fucking around but does this seem balanced?

[regal ether]

ooo interesting idea

[tepid crow]

does purchasing booster packs count?

[random sphinx]

not as it's currently implemented, but it could

[tepid crow]

I mean that makes a big difference

[random sphinx]

i guess so since anything chip-based is more of an early-game joker than anything

[regal ether]

texture and mod id are still WIP because i'm mostly just fucking around but does this seem balanced? (genuinely lol)

oh wait shit it needs to start at X1

hold on i know exactly what to do for this

[random sphinx]

is it possible to get the purchase price of a booster pack?

[regal ether]

well, the playing card boosters are all the same price, right?

[red flower]

yes booster.cost

[tepid crow]

https://tenor.com/bNhxs.gif

[random sphinx]

ty 🫡

[regal ether]

(okay it now starts at X1 and increases by 0.25 each time the upgrade is triggered)

(for now the event is skipping a booster)

[rigid hare]

does anyone know what functions/misc_functions.lua:818 refers to? trying to help diagnose a crash that's being real nasty.

[steady smelt]

does the secret criteria change per run or is it random from a pool ooor

[regal ether]

ooo changing per run could be cool yeah

[tepid crow]

I answered you like half an hour ago

[steady smelt]

because what the criteria is and can be definitely changes if it's balanced

[red flower]

depends on the lovely dump x2

[rigid hare]

ah, must of not seen that sorry

[regal ether]

well i'm trying to find the balance between hard-to-discover trigger and hard-to-repeat trigger

[steady smelt]

i think gaining x0.5 might be more balanced depending what the secrets are

[regal ether]

i think skipping a mega booster or something like that is a good idea

[steady smelt]

because it could be like canio or hit the road or hologram

i think some hard ones some easy ones, rlly just probably add all the base game things that trigger gaining x mult then go from there

[regal ether]

mmm

[steady smelt]

but lower yorick's down a bit and other balance stuff like that

changing per run is rlly interesting tho

if it doesn't it might as well just be a joker that gains x0.5 mult when you skip a booster or w/e which is usually worth taking no matter what

early enough at least

[regal ether]

card is inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_box

perhaps a more accurate implementation would be to hide the fact that it does xmult and xchips but

this has nothing to do with the trigger changing it's just a fun fact

[steady smelt]

mhm it's definitely a cool concept

but i think the trigger being hidden doesn't matter if it doesn't change

[regal ether]

right

[steady smelt]

also dumb question is that orange colour you used for x0.5 built in?

[regal ether]

yup!

[steady smelt]

i don't recognise it from any text colours

unless it's just attention

[regal ether]

it's attention

[steady smelt]

ah okok

[regal ether]

yeah lol

it's X:attention

[steady smelt]

could add a unique one if you wanted to

purple probably

[regal ether]

shrug

[steady smelt]

like plasma colour

the orange is nice though

[regal ether]

oooo i like that plasma idea

[steady smelt]

yeag like the lavender

[regal ether]

is rare an apt rarity for this one

[steady smelt]

actually i think that's built in somewhere lemme check

rare seems fine yeah esp for x0.5

[regal ether]

i would think since it's xmult AND xchips ngl it could fit well if balala already had something between rare and legend

seeing as none of the vanilla jokers actually do xchips iirc

[steady smelt]

correct

xchips is modded only for now

[random sphinx]

i think i've improved the texture a bit: i made the background and the text on the nameplate a bit lighter while leaving the joker itself the same

(dunno if this is the right place for texture discussion?)

[steady smelt]

it's not but the colour used for plasma is {0.8, 0.45, 0.85, 1}

[steady smelt]

what's this?

[regal ether]

#💻・modding-dev message

[random sphinx]

this guy

[regal ether]

pretty cool joker ngl

[steady smelt]

oh yeah interesting concept

[unborn bay]

going insane

[steady smelt]

i'd expect silver to be shinier myself tbh

[regal ether]

⁉️

exponential chips 😨

i love the xx_rainbow_xx though lol

is that a seal? ed? enhance?

[random sphinx]

i was thinking the jimbo should be a bit duller because it's stamped into the surface of the bar/card (see attached)

[lucid owl]

this is hilarious

[steady smelt]

ah that makes sense, i didn't see it at first but not sure how you'd make that more apparent visually

[peak obsidian]

how would i make a consumable add perma-bonuses to selected cards

[steady smelt]

this cluster of popups reminds me of this mess i made accidentally

[random sphinx]

someone significantly more skilled than me could but i can't

i'm used to texturing for minecraft mods and i'm 100% not cut out for this

[steady smelt]

like perma bonus chips? look at how hiker does it, not sure about anything else

[random sphinx]

doing it anyway though because it's funny

[steady smelt]

lol i came from there too, artist in general also though

[lucid owl]

i had this one time

[steady smelt]

oh i hate it

[lucid owl]

i fixed it to just show the tag descriptions luckily

[steady smelt]

i think it's funnier if they stack but fair

[lucid owl]

the wall of info boxes was very funny at first and quickly got horrifying

[steady smelt]

it tends to organise them in really dumb ways when you start stacking them

[lucid owl]

yeah it's weird

[steady smelt]

like they spiral inwards or smth

[lucid owl]

pretty funny though

[unborn bay]

im not fixing this

yes it lists every edition available

[steady smelt]

me when absurd modlist

[lucid owl]

so does it just get bigger as you add more mods

that's amazing

[steady smelt]

i just registered that that's monopoly

[unborn bay]

yes

[regal ether]

well shit i just tried renaming everything in my code and it infexes field INIT (a nil value)

i think im done with this for tonight,..,

[steady smelt]

i just made the greatest thing ever

it's an aseprite script that applies the negative colour filter to your sprite when run

since it's not just inverted colours

and i'm about 80% sure it actually works

it looks right at least

[regal ether]

genuinely confused actually i could kill a few minutes on this

i replaced all instances of ivylatro with the new mod name, like all of them

renamed the mod folder also even though that's probably not essential

[steady smelt]

did you change your main_file in mod.json?

or prefix

[regal ether]

yeah

both actually

[steady smelt]

id probably def you did

not sure what else it could be without digging

why do all the other vouchers look so cool negative

esp clearance/liquidation

[regal ether]

like idk this seems like everything

ignore placeholders lol

[steady smelt]

i don't even have an init function

[regal ether]

thats fair

i doubt i need anything it uses rn ngl

not using that atlas, nor localization stuff

[tepid crow]

don't use SMODS.INIT anymore

[steady smelt]

i literally looked at smods docs for the first time yesterday i've just been using balatro as code ref

[woeful tusk]

How can I check if a run has already been won?

[regal ether]

many such cases

YIPPEE i will do the texture in the morning

[tepid crow]

https://tenor.com/bNhxs.gif

G.GAME.won

[woeful tusk]

damn that easy, thanks
