i guess i need to add the joekr i just made to the pool of toga's jokers

[zealous glen]

Do you still want to know how to add mod badges

[tall wharf]

i already figured that out

[ember bluff]

I'm trying to retexture Mult and Wild Cards, but it keeps saying that "Enhanced" is a nil value despite it not being one, does anyone know how to fix or work around this?

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.Enhancement

[ember bluff]

thank you

[wooden nexus]

So yeah, didn't work

Test joker is on the wrong page

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do?

[wooden nexus]

Trying to put a modded joker between existing jokers

Example (this is photoshopped)

Only way I can potentially see this working is if I just don't make the joker with smods

[daring fern]

I'm guessing you could modify the function that orders the collection but I have no clue elsewise.

[red flower]

you can probably modify the return of SMODS.collection_pool

[rapid stag]

bump.

[gentle rain]

i meant what reason balance-wise

[wooden nexus]

Maybe? I just don't see it working rn

[plain apex]

this is probably the worst way to go about trying to change the text based on where the card with the edition is

SMODS.Edition({
    key = "Nitro",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Nitro",
        text = {
            "{C:attention}+#1#{} hand #2#",
            "#3#",
            "Idea: BoiRowan",
        },
    },
    discovered = false,
    unlocked = true,
    shader = 'nitro',
    config = { handsize = 1, line1 = 'size when scored', line2 = 'Resets at end of round' }, -- triggers twice, so actual gain is double
    in_shop = true,
    weight = 15,
    extra_cost = 4,
    badge_colour = HEX("ea763e"),
    apply_to_float = true,
    
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { self.config.handsize * 2, self.config.line1, self.config.line2} }
    end,
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        self.added = self.added or 0

        -- Played and scored cards get the buff
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.individual then
            G.hand.config.card_limit = G.hand.config.card_limit + self.config.handsize
            self.added = self.added + self.config.handsize
            self.config.line1 = 'size when scored'
            self.config.line2 = 'Resets at end of round'
        end

        -- If it's a Joker with the edition, buff hand size at start of round (setting blind)
        if context.setting_blind and card.ability.set == 'Joker' and not (context.blueprint_card or self).getting_sliced then
            G.hand.config.card_limit = G.hand.config.card_limit + self.config.handsize * 2
            self.added = self.added + self.config.handsize * 2
            self.config.line1 = 'size'
            self.config.line2 = 'until end of round'
        end

        -- Remove the buff at end of round
        if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then
            if self.added > 0 then
                G.hand.config.card_limit = G.hand.config.card_limit - self.added
                self.added = 0
            end
        end
    end

[karmic creek]

yeet

[wooden nexus]

I had to manually edit with lovely

[tall wharf]

why balance

[gentle rain]

:33< :PP

:33< was just nyasking......

[graceful magnet]

can you make a local function within a joker to more easily call a large code block in other functions (namely set_ability and calculate)

[red flower]

no, that's why it's local

you can make it local to the file tho

[gentle rain]

:33< couldn't mew just put the big block of code in the joker's function?

[graceful magnet]

yeah but the idea is not wanting to have it pasted in there twice

[gentle rain]

:33< right right

[hot island]

does anyone know where in the code id find how the deck is displayed

im trying to recreate it but i dont know how to get it just right

and im struggling to find where it is in the code

[steady smelt]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.debuff_card then
        return { prevent_debuff = true }
    end
end

this works for preventing cards from being debuffed while you own it, but how do I make it also un-debuff cards if it's created via judgement in the middle of a round?

[rapid stag]

bump.

[violet oasis]

Is it possible to use SMODS.Joker to replace a parameter for an existing joker? I have a custom texture for my Square Joker that is not square and I want to change the pixel_size parameter.

I have tried patching out the "ifs" related to the Square Joker in card.lua that change the center position and scale, but I just end up with a stretched out version. I assume because it's taking into account the pixel size for the default texture

[unreal cipher]

hello everyone. despite my best efforts, i cannot seem to find the starting point for making a mod. i've read that "your first mod" page on github, yet i still don't know what to do. anyone, lend me a hand.

[tall wharf]

how the fuck do people make UI

[ruby delta]

Is this correct?

```calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local extra = type(card.ability.extra) == "table" and card.ability.extra or self.config.extra

    if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.repetition then
        return {
            repetitions = extra.repetitions
        }
    end

    if context.joker_main then
        local keys = {
            SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_ruby').key,
            SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_weiss').key,
            SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_blake').key,
            SMODS.find_card('j_rwby_yang').key
        }

        local has = {}
        for _, j in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            local key = j.center and j.center.config and j.center.config.key
            if key then
                has[key] = true
            end
        end

        if has[keys[1]] and has[keys[2]] and has[keys[3]] and has[keys[4]] then
            return {
                xmult = extra.team_mult
            }
        end
    end
end

}```

[tall wharf]

ok if you want a serious answer from me

i think disabling the blind makes it a bit boring

like chicot is good but it makes it a bit boring

ykwim when i said it makes it a bit boring

[red flower]

i didnt read the entire thing because im on mobile but SMODS.find_card("...").key doesn't do anything
find_card gives you a list of cards

[ruby delta]

Sorry, can u explain it a bit more 😭🙏

[red flower]

SMODS.find_card returns an array of cards

What do you want to do?

[wooden nexus]

Can't spoil my project but...

[ruby delta]

I want to make the card to first look for the 4 other jokers in the deck/hands if so it gives out *x10 mults as it's second Function

[red flower]

if next(SMODS.find_card("j_key1")) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_key2")) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_key3")) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_key4")) then
    return {...}
end

[tall wharf]

what's the link in your pronouns field

[hearty sun]

Hi, I'm hitting some very strange behavior
I'm adding 2 poker hands, but only Sequence loads its localization strings properly, while Blackjack causes a crash whenever I open the Run Info screen
Here is the code involved:

-- hands.lua
SMODS.PokerHand({
  key = "Sequence",
  visible = true,
  chips = 20,
  mult = 2,
  l_chips = 15,
  l_mult = 2,
  example = {
    { "H_8", true },
    { "S_7", true },
    { "D_6", true },
    { "C_2", false },
    { "C_T", false },
  },
  evaluate = function(parts, _)
    return {}
  end,
})

SMODS.PokerHandPart({
  key = "seq",
  func = function(hand)
    return {}
  end,
})

SMODS.PokerHand({
  key = "Blackjack",
  visible = true,
  chips = 80,
  mult = 2,
  l_chips = 20,
  l_mult = 1,
  example = {
    { "S_A", true },
    { "H_9", true },
    { "D_7", true },
    { "C_4", true },
    { "H_J", false },
  },
  evaluate = function(_, hand)
    return {}
  end,
})

-- localization/en-us.lua
return {
  misc = {
    poker_hands = {
      ["aod_Sequence"] = "Sequence",
      ["aod_Blackjack"] = "Blackjack",
    },
    poker_hand_descriptions = {
      ["aod_Sequence"] = {
        "3 cards in a row (consecutive ranks).",
        "They may be played with up to 2 unscored cards.",
      },
      ["aod_Blackjack"] = {
        "At least 3 numbered cards, summing to 21.",
        "Aces may be scored as either 1 or 11.",
      },
    }
  }
}

[zealous glen]

they wait until Aiko makes it then steal it

[tall wharf]

😭

am i the UI theft target

[zealous glen]

Currently yeah

[red flower]

i havent added any new UI in a while..

[rapid stag]

bump please someone just tell me why taking ownership of gold cards breaks their description and how i can fix it

[hearty sun]

Ignore my previous message, I didn't realize that hands were defined by runs
Starting a new run fixed the problem

[violet oasis]

I'm trying to change the texture of the Square Joker by using take_ownership but it's giving me an error. I already set up the atlas for the jokers, so I'm just trying to change the position for the Square Joker so it would be replaced with the standard Joker texture. In this case "pmmod" is my prefix:

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('j_square', 
  {
  atlas = "pmmod_Joker",
  pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
  }, true)```

But it keeps giving this

[tall wharf]

i think you should just store the old function

[rapid stag]

what?

[tall wharf]

like

the gold card already has its generate ui function

[rapid stag]

oh, i see - i should hook gold card's generate_ui()?
...does that work specifically in this context?
can i do

local oldGenUI = generate_ui
generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
            SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)

  oldGenUI(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
            SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
end
```inside the take_ownership?

[tall wharf]

i actually got no clue about taking ownership over vanilla content

but when i takeover cryptid's hand part

i can store the old function

somewhere local

[wintry solar]

Why are you taking ownership of gen ui?

[rapid stag]

i am not
i am taking ownership of gold cards so i can add a tooltip to its info_queue without it merging into the description box like it has so far in my experience with it, wild and glass jokers when i simply append to the info_queue as part of functionality i write in a patch that adds to the end of generate_card_ui()

but it's breaking its description by returning nil where it should have the dollar value #💻・modding-dev message

[oblique cradle]

hello im new someone can help me?

[gusty iron]

i know this was like 2 days ago but where can i find it im interested now

[gusty iron]

what are you attempting to do?

[oblique cradle]

im learning how to install mods

[gusty iron]

oh

use lovely

[wintry solar]

Why aren’t you just lovely patching the info queue in?

[heavy hare]

how do i hook into another mod's function?
i'm trying to use DebugPlus's reroll boss function with my mod, but it can't find the function. i'm assuming this probably has to do with load order:

local debugplus_reroll_boss_hook = global.handleKeys
global.handleKeys = function(controller, key, dt)
  local prevBoss = G.blind_select_opts.boss.parent
  debugplus_reroll_boss_hook(controller, key, dt)
  if G.blind_select_opts.boss.parent ~= prevBoss then
    G.HUD_blind_tracker:reroll_boss()
  end
end

Error: attempt to index global 'global' (a nil value)

[keen tiger]

are deck ids something like b_yellow or Yellow Deck?

i cant figure it out from the code, feels like they are used interchangeably...

and i dont want to accidentally use a localized id, that explodes the entire system im working on

[oblique cradle]

do u have a tutorial explaining how can i use it?

[gusty iron]

there should be several tutorials online

just look up "lovely balatro injector"

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1326135270759993364

[gusty iron]

uh

my game crashes when i try to load it

[red flower]

sad

[gusty iron]

its saying AKYRS is nil

[red flower]

is your folder nested maybe

[gusty iron]

no?

[red flower]

idk then

[rapid stag]

i have code that does this. i tried using it at first, but it just does this #💻・modding-dev message
so far, i've been able to find this holds true for wild, glass and gold cards, but is fine for stone cards as lovely patching info_queue into stone cards works as expected - my suspicion so far is that it applies to all enhancers but stone for whatever ereason

which is probably something to do how the enhancers are handled in generate_card_ui()

[gusty iron]

figured it out, my smods were just outdated

[sturdy compass]

Is it possible for me to use sprites from the vanilla game sprite sheets?

[zealous glen]

It should be

[sturdy compass]

Then how would I do that

[zealous glen]

Pass the correct atlas

[sturdy compass]

<@&1133519078540185692> Scammer spotted

Thank ya header

[hot island]

i think im pretty much done the game screen 👍

ignore how pretty much everything is impossible

[graceful magnet]

this is not triggering

and I've tried like a dozens variations

[hot island]

the +12 on the king is meant for when hiker adds to cards

[sturdy compass]

I guess the next question is what are the vanilla atlas keys?

[proud wagon]

can someone please explain how to create a new rank using SMODS.Rank? I cannot for the life of me get the name and sprites to work 😭

[zealous glen]

I think they're the same as the filenames

or you can search it

[sturdy compass]

That seems to not be the case

[brisk rose]

It's probably using to prefix your mod prefix by default

[sturdy compass]

Probably, but how do I not do that LOL

[red flower]

playing card jokerdisplay is very funny

[unborn bay]

raw_key = true

[sturdy compass]

And where would that go

[unborn bay]

hmm actually

you probably don't need that

could probably look into G.ASSET_ATLAS for vanilla atlases probably but

that probably won't work with what you're doing

[sturdy compass]

I did try doing that actually and no dice

[brisk rose]

Tbh with how many mods Include copies of the vanilla atlases I feel like this is non trivial

[unborn bay]

ig maybe just redefine the atlas for the vanilla joker graphics because i think you can do that then use that atlas

[brisk rose]

That seems... like it might get weird with other kids and especially texturepacks

[gusty iron]

how would i make a consumable only be able to spawn when youre using a certain deck?

[sturdy compass]

Probably with an in_pool check

[brisk rose]

I think the easiest thing to do is just copy the relevant atlas pngs into your own mod

[unborn bay]

im talking about making a new atlas with the same filename lmao

you CAN replace the vanilla atlases via raw_key = true

[brisk rose]

Ah I misinterpreted something

My bad

[unborn bay]

im not sure if smods could just load the vanilla asset if it exists

[sturdy compass]

Not sure if copying the entire vanilla Joker atlas for one use case is ideal

[brisk rose]

Well... you could just copy the relevant sprite into your own atlas if you just need one

But yeah ideal and what works seem to be different things sometimes

[sturdy compass]

I could do that yes but I'd much rather use what's already in the game. Totally get what you're saying lol

[red flower]

are you trying to use a sprite for another kind of object? (like a tarot for a joker)

[sturdy compass]

No, I'm using a Joker for a Joker

[red flower]

then the joker atlas should be the default one lol

[sturdy compass]

I'm stuck in the past where an atlas was a required thing LOL

That did it, thank ya

now to prevent it from looking tiny when undiscovered lol

[unborn bay]

1 pixel joker

[zealous glen]

Accidentally made a Hermit machine gun

[gusty iron]

bump

[wooden nexus]

Is there a way to hide this?

[zealous glen]

@red flower I'm reworking Rebate Tag. I probably should get a new name

[willow plinth]

which mod could be the culprit here?

crash happened when i hovered over a joker from TOGA's Stuff but not sure if that's the one, it was pretty stable so far

[sturdy compass]

He is here

[zealous glen]

Thoughts?

[rustic swallow]

how do you check the discards used throughout the whole run

[sturdy compass]

btw the number that it's being divided by is the starting hand count per round

[hasty mist]

not sure why this is happening, did i miss something?

[paper zealot]

If it's just for your personal use, you could change line 40 in Steamodded's src/ui.lua file from

text = MODDED_VERSION,
```to
```lua
text = "",
``` I'd discourage you from making this change in your own mod though, it's useful information for users to have

[wooden nexus]

Tried but no dice

[paper zealot]

Are you sure you edited the steamodded being used by your game, and saved the file after changing it? I'm quite sure that will work

[wooden nexus]

Yes

It crashed

[paper zealot]

What did you change the line to?

[red flower]

i like the idea

[zealous glen]

I’m worried it’s a bit too strong but it’s also a Tag 🤔

[red flower]

im the worst guy to ask for balancing my mod lets you make infinite tarots by ante 2

[zealous glen]

I’m thinking maybe I could restrict it to only show up on later Antes

I’m not sure if Tags have these kinds of restrictions

Or maybe nerf it to 1 copy

Or stop it from copying Spectrals

-# or stop it from copying cards from packs

[wooden nexus]

a space, a blank character, and nothing

all crash

[thorn ridge]

how would i go about replacing/editing vanilla stuff

[paper zealot]

Did you try #💻・modding-dev message ?

[wooden nexus]

nope

lemme try

well that worked

[scarlet spire]

tags have ante restrictions yeah

[thorn ridge]

.

[maiden phoenix]

How does this work with Wild Consumables? /j

[steady smelt]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.debuff_card then
        return { prevent_debuff = true }
    end
end

this works for preventing cards from being debuffed while you own it, but how do I make it also un-debuff cards if it's created via judgement in the middle of a round?

[brisk rose]

Iterate over cards in hand and undebuff?

[hasty mist]

today i learned you can just slap joker code in a boss blind and it will work

[harsh wind]

what would that even do

[hasty mist]

the boss blind would just do what the joker would do

[viral dagger]

hey so i've never coded before, but i really want to surprise my gf with a Balatro text replacement mod we've joked about

how would i go about making a text replacement mod, and then giving her a way to download it?

[brisk rose]

If y'all aren't interested in other balatro mods is almost suggest just editing the game files directly

[unborn bay]

in general anything thats extended by SMODS.Center can have a calculate function

[viral dagger]

yeah, but that'd kinda ruin the surprise, yknow? like, how would i make something where she downloads it and it overwrites the files so one word changes to another word?

like, that mod Balagay that changes straights to gays

how does that work?

[brisk rose]

Well you could just switch out the exe with a pre-modified one, if you were to edit the files directly. Do it elsewhere and then switch it out at the right time

But of you just wanna be like 'here's a cool balatro mod I found' then yeah you can do it the normal way

You basically just have to make a new localization file

[viral dagger]

hmm, okie

[hollow birch]

what would be the best way to trigger something if a card with a custom enhancement is destroyed?

like is there a context to see if a card is being destroyed that I can call in the calculate function?

[brisk rose]

Iirc is as simple as installing smodded and lovely the normal way and then making a 'mod' with just a steamodded header and a new en_us.lua included and it replaces automatically

But there's others who know a lot more

[viral dagger]

but how would i go about making a mod?

like, in the most basic sense

like how would i take a changed file and make it into something someone could download

again, very sorry, i've never modded before so im very in over my head

[brisk rose]

That part's easy, just put it on github

[viral dagger]

ah, okie :3

[brisk rose]

So you need to first install lovely and steamodded. There's a guide here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

[viral dagger]

no yeah, already got those, plus Balatro Mod Manager

[rustic swallow]

how do you check the discards used throughout the whole run

[brisk rose]

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

You need to create a new folder in your mods folder and make a json Metadata file for it

And then from there, make a localization folder with an em-us.lua file in it

[viral dagger]

how do i make a json?

[brisk rose]

Use the en-us.lua file in the actual balatro exe and edit it with your new text

[brisk rose]

It's just a text file formatted as shown with a .json extension

You wanna turn off 'hide known file extensions' in windows explorer probably top make this easier

[viral dagger]

ok so its like a .txt file but with an overlay from an extension? how do i access the extension

[brisk rose]

Just set notepad to all files instead of text files on the save dialog and type it in yourself

[viral dagger]

ah okie

thanks

[brisk rose]

Np :3

[viral dagger]

:3

@brisk rose sorry to ping again, but ive got another question
so, prefixes... how do i get a prefix? do i just like, type in anything?

it says its gotta be unique

[brisk rose]

Yeah just make it whatever. Just not something another mod would likely use

[viral dagger]

okieeee

[viral dagger]

should i use a copy of it?

[hasty mist]

why can't chicot disable the effects of this blind

[brisk rose]

Yeah start with a copy of it

It's in the balatro exe (open it as a zip)

[steady smelt]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.debuff_card then
        return { prevent_debuff = true }
    end
end

why does this only work if you own it before a blind that debuffs cards and not if it's spawned via judgement during a blind?

[brisk rose]

Like drawn cards still get debuffed?

As I said to rebuff already sevuffed cards I think you need to iterate over the hand

But I'm just guessing to be fair

[steady smelt]

if you go into a blind like the head with it it prevents the cards from being debuffed like it should
if you spawn it during a blind it doesn't undebuff any cards at all, not drawn ones, not generated ones, nothing

iterating over the hand or deck i feel like is definitely not the best way to do it

i feel like there's something easy that i just don't know how to do

[brisk rose]

Do you mean it doesn't undebuff them?

[steady smelt]

yes sorry

[brisk rose]

I mean... if a card is already debuffed, which I think is often determined at the start of the blind, I see why 'prevent' doesn't work. Which is why it feels to me that just going through every card and seeing it to not be debuffed is the logical way... I haven't done any proper moddding myself though and my coding experience in general is limited to a couple classes in college years ago

[steady smelt]

because if i do that the only way to be sure it works is do it every frame which is very excessive

[hasty mist]

bump

[keen tiger]

So, I'm effectively calling Game:start_run in order to start a new game. How could I figure out when the game is fully set up and I can access i.e blind info?

[brisk rose]

If you make sure everything is undebuffed when you first get it, shouldn't the prevent_debuff make sure they don't get redebuffed?

[brisk rose]

I think you should be using set_bound instead of calculate and you don't need the contexts?

You aren't doing it like most people seem to do blinds

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

Here's the documentation in any case

[hasty mist]

yeah it's essentially just modified joker code

[brisk rose]

Idk if using calculate directly on blinds is supported or emergent functionality ngl

I'm any case you ought to be able to use the same function regardless whatever you may need to call it or however you need to format it

[hollow birch]

how would I have a joker debuff the joker to the right of it?

[hasty mist]

replaced calculate with set_bound and now it doesnt work at all

[brisk rose]

Set_bound or set_bind?

I made a typo

[hasty mist]

oh i see

[brisk rose]

You should really read the wiki thing I sent, lol

[hasty mist]

i did, just not being very smart right now lol

[lucid owl]

what exactly is the area parameter in a consumable's use function?

[brisk rose]

Pfft that's a mood

[hasty mist]

dammit

is there a way to keep my context function because im pretty sure its quite necessary

but it seems set_blind doesnt work with it

[brisk rose]

Check gameplan from bunco

[hollow birch]

oh sweet thanks didnt know about that

[brisk rose]

I mean... other blinds don't seem to have it

But I'd ask someone who knows anything about coding (not me)

[brisk rose]

It's fairly outdated, but you can use http://lshtech.github.io to spot check if jokers exist that might do similar things and where to find them to reference them

[hollow birch]

thanks a ton again

[brisk rose]

Np :3

[hasty mist]

the best resource ever would be a whole list of vanilla effects converted to the easily readable smods version

i wish something like that existed because the balatro source code is damn near unreadable

[brisk rose]

It'd be a nice resource but tbh many nod joker effects are different enough where it wouldn't be that useful a lot of the time

[shut crater]

anyone know if SMODS overrode the eval_card function?

I'm not at my computer rn but I'm stuck on a bug and have been trying to think through it all day

basically I want to manually score a card in the most mod-friendly way possible, but I was trying to use eval_card and it just wasn't working for me

[rapid stag]

bump

[rustic swallow]

how do you check the discards used throughout the whole run

[hasty mist]

really dumb solution but i figured it out lmao

[brisk rose]

I presume it's the same as used hands and there's a tag for that so I'd check that

[scarlet spire]

...how do I stop info queue from going down the chain of command

[brisk rose]

Do you really want to stop it? Tooltips exist for a reason

It's kinda pointless for base game stuff sure, but modded stuff you might need the info

Even if it looks crappy

[scarlet spire]

what card the fool is making isn't important for the joker's tooltip, it only matters when it's on the fool itself

[rapid stag]

instead of adding the center to the info_queue, try { key = 'c_fool', set = 'Tarot' }

[scarlet spire]

this works, thanks

[rustic swallow]

that tag checks for unused discards though

[brisk rose]

There's a tag that checks for used hands though. At least I don't think that's a mod tag

If it is that'd make it even easier to study though

Oh wait it is isn't it

Ortalab

[limpid wing]

Ortalab cool

[reef belfry]

is there not enough quote text in this one

[brisk rose]

Nvm that's unused too

[brisk rose]

I'm thinking Handy tag

From the base game

[slate bison]

what context am i missing here?

it says that context.open_booster is nil and i dont know why

[gentle rain]

:33< the ability of this is gonna be "copies the ability of food jokers" if you would like id appreciate it if you gave me the names of food jokers in your mod or mods you play so i can make them compatible!!

[indigo mesa]

GOATED

[peak obsidian]

added some visual + audio feedback for my symbolic cards
note: after recording this i made it so the sounds vary in pitch, i just don't feel like recording again

[rapid stag]

could also have a function that can be openly called that expects whatever your mod needs passed into the function and have that go wherever you need it

[steady smelt]

how do you add more deck colour options? i see in the api how to add deck skins ala friends of jimbo but nothing about stuff like LC/HC

[haughty wraith]

:D

[haughty wraith]

:D

[plain apex]

can you change the rate at which showdown blinds appear?

[thorn pumice]

oh i’m making something really similar using ancient runes!! :3

i love how yours came out

[thorn ridge]

how do i modify vanilla stuff

[sturdy compass]

lovely patches or taking ownership

[unborn bay]

lovely patch ,,,,,

[brisk rose]

Tbh I wish steamodded wpulda leaned more heavily into making lovely patches as unessacary as possible

[thorn ridge]

how do i take ownershiop

[sturdy compass]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[brisk rose]

Lol best me to it

[sturdy compass]

I be quick like that

[hot island]

i was trying to get chatgpt to convert the jokers into json for me and made me the "cosmic egg" joker instead of giving me what i want

its a legendary

bro is hallucinating so hard rn

[plain apex]

average chat gpt moment

[regal ether]

MF JIMBO!??!??

[regal ether]

bro is using chatgpt for silly card game modding 💔

[plain apex]

balatro coding is hard sometimes chat gpt helps more than asking in here and not getting a response lol

but other times its completely useless

[rapid stag]

honestly, mood
speaking of, still having my gold card issue

[regal ether]

remember to always say thank you to cost openai more money ❤️

[plain apex]

but hey chat gpt made a working shader and i dont understand shaders at all so i take this as a win

[sturdy compass]

What's the problem?

[plain apex]

why the !?

[sturdy compass]

I added on because I'm surprised CGPT was able to do that

[plain apex]

i mean it took multiple attempts

chat gpt also kept thinking i wanted terrible art and its like no chat gpt i dont want ai generated images of what a good shader might look like i want shader code 💀

[rapid stag]

i can't append anything to the info_queue of enhancements other than stone card, it just merges whatever tooltip i try to add, into the description, ala this #💻・modding-dev message
and this seems to be the case for me for every enhancement so far except stone
i was able to overcome it with wild and glass by using loc_vars in take_ownership, but it doesn't work for gold because there are variables inherent to generate_card_ui() that break whenever i try to append to info_queue via loc_vars or generate_ui() in a take_ownership

so unless i can fix the broken var in gold card's description, i have basically no method to add a tooltip to gold cards.

[sturdy compass]

You specifically asked for a card shader? 😭

[plain apex]

"this is the right color but you just made the card orange it needs transparency" oh so you want me to generate a picture of a card on fire??

[sturdy compass]

AH

😭 😭 😭

[sturdy compass]

I wish I could help but this is some advanced stuff I don't know my way around. Best of luck

[plain apex]

need to figure out how shader code works fr chat gpt is very bad at it lol

[sturdy compass]

[plain apex]

chat gpt be like

[sturdy compass]

LMFAO

[plain apex]

so uh yeah i guess dont ask chat gpt for help with shaders it will repeatedly try to generate imagines instead of help you

[stiff locust]

how do I level up a specific hand

[hoary crown]

help

[plain apex]

like i know shaders use code and all that but like why can't editions just be like enhancements man let me set an edition to like a gif that just plays that would so much easier

we can animate souls and jokers with long sprite sheets why can't editions be like that local thunk

[regal ether]

local thunk was secretly the Fuck You Guy

[plain apex]

fr everything else is like so simple you just set it to a picture and you're done or make a sprite sheet and cycle that

[regal ether]

but yeah i dont know anything about shaders so personally i wouldnt touch them but if you want to make a shader you're probably best off... learning how to make shaders

[plain apex]

but editions are like nah you gotta learn a whole other language to make one

[sturdy compass]

In your level_up_hand call, the second variable passed in is the key of the hand that gets levelled up

[plain apex]

or you ask chat gpt like 50 times and it finally creates the color orange

[stiff locust]

i don't know what that is

[sturdy compass]

guh

[stiff locust]

i have neer done this before

[sturdy compass]

I'm surprised honestly lol

[stiff locust]

i wanna level up straight and straight flush like
5 times

all at once

[hoary crown]

help

[sturdy compass]

In that case you'd call both
level_up_hand(card, 'Straight', false, 5) and level_up_hand(card, 'Straight Flush', false, 5)

[stiff locust]

oh that's

so easy

wow

[sturdy compass]

Yeah lol

the boolean in the third field is just an instant flag

So change that how you wish

[daring fern]

I'm pretty sure that is normal.

[hoary crown]

it doesnt load

the mod

at all

[stiff locust]

noted

thank you

[sturdy compass]

np

[daring fern]

It's because your selecting the cmd

[plain apex]

still upset that changing balatros name can't complete discord quests that would be such a funny way to do them

[sturdy compass]

[plain apex]

like if you do that discord will say you are playing it but it wont count for quests

[sturdy compass]

I think you'd have to change the actual name of the exe for that to work

[plain apex]

i did

[sturdy compass]

oh bruh

I remember that used to work then

[plain apex]

yeah i wanted to complete my quest by playing balatro but it didn't work

balatro discord quest when?

[sturdy compass]

Honestly not out of the question

[plain apex]

gimmie that jimbo avatar decoration it'd be fire

[sturdy compass]

Though depends if Thunk wants to shill the money to Discord to do it

[plain apex]

like come on discord im making a fortnite mod for balatro balatro is basically fortnite

[hoary crown]

what does that even mean

[daring fern]

Right click on the cmd

[hoary crown]

what is "the cmd"

[daring fern]

The black window with a lot of text in it.

[hoary crown]

ok

im confused

it says my json is invalid or whatever and doesnt load the mod and doesnt have it in the mods list

its in the mods folder and there is no ignore file in it.

I did not just magically make that happen

[hoary crown]

welcome to "the cmd" fuck your mod haha yes

your json file is made of bad

i dont see how this is bad

[iron haven]

hey guys?

[plain apex]

hi

[reef belfry]

i feel like this is an extremely inefficient way to do this but im too lazy and dumb to find the better way to do it

[iron haven]

I have to make L now....

[regal ether]

am i tweakin or are those last two elseifs the same

oh and you're missing "and"s between the pities in the conditionals

[reef belfry]

yeah i just realized that

the one at the bottom was just residue i forgot to delete it

[hoary crown]

ARE YOU ALIVE

[iron haven]

Can I have help with making L or no?

[sturdy compass]

I don't wanna be that guy but we can't hold your hand the whole way through developing a mod man

[iron haven]

?

[rotund orbit]

hey guys can anyone help with something
I'm trying to make a texture pack as a mod but I'm totally new to lua and need help
I want to change some of the text in the game like renaming the jokers or suits and I also want to know how to add more spritesheets than just the regular 52 cards to this starter LUA file i found
I think I should be able to do the rest sorry if this is the wrong place guys

[sturdy compass]

That starter file looks incredibly dated. Wow

[daring fern]

Use malverk: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1300851004186820690

[sturdy compass]

Malverk is a lot more friendly to less code-savvy folk

[rotund orbit]

wait does malverk just help you with making the textures and text files and stuff? from what I heard you had to make a pack first and do even more coding to make it compatable

like is it its own editor?

[daring fern]

No.

[sturdy compass]

Not really. It's a mod that has a lot of modular tools to help make your process easier than just straight code (from what I know)

There are examples to go off of in the mod listing

[iron haven]

I don't know how to make part of the code for L. Really, I don't.

[runic pecan]

4 days ago I was informed from my github's issue section that this is a thing:

And I'm worried that other enhancements have got similar effect-visual desync problem.
Where in the code can I look into to find such thing?

[faint yacht]

x_mult, xmult and Xmult all are interchangeable. x_mult_mod and Xmult_mod also count, but those don't produce a message by themselves. Search for SMODS.calculate_individual_effect definition in smods/src/utils.lua.

[iron haven]

I seriously don't know.

[faint yacht]

-# I frankly do not have context to really process what is desired for your Joker.

[iron haven]

+30 Mult if last hand scored under 25% of the blind requirement

[high sinew]

im getting this whenever my pack is being opened idk why it crashes but anyone got idea?

[hoary crown]

alrighyt i fixed my stupid ass mod

json

file

now my joker is broken

how do I make this also have Xchips

[high sinew]

i would use tailsman mod

and just do their xchips

[hoary crown]

whats their xchips

[high sinew]

u have tailsman?

[brisk rose]

Isn't xchips in smods now?

[high sinew]

im not sure it might be

[brisk rose]

97.3% sure it is

[high sinew]

ik tailsman has but u prob right

i bet u can do xchips

[faint yacht]

SMODS had integrated XChips a while ago.

[high sinew]

noice thats hype

[hoary crown]

HOW DO I ADD IT?

[high sinew]

xchips like xmult

same type of config

just chips instead obv

[hoary crown]

like another config line?

[high sinew]

yea

xchips = 15 or whatever

[daring fern]

xchips = number

[high sinew]

then do what u want with calculate function

[hoary crown]

so like this

[high sinew]

sorry to reask but curious to see if more pro coders know this issue

this was errror i know its something with how set is being read that inst matching up

[faint yacht]

if G.GAME.current_round.hands_left == 0 and hand_chips * mult < G.GAME.blind.chips*0.25 then?

[high sinew]

@hoary crown do like this

[hoary crown]

what is power

[high sinew]

expo mult

do xchips instead

[reef belfry]

that was... something

[iron haven]

oh thanks.

[hoary crown]

why do i need that?

[faint yacht]

This is a booster pack anyway, why the area?

return create_card("Snack", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, nil, "mills_snack_pack")

[iron haven]

I'm as confused as you guys.

[high sinew]

idk im trying to figure out how i can basically call the card in it. better way?

[iron haven]

here is the code screenshot of L.

[high sinew]

u dont.. im just showing an example lol

[faint yacht]

That table must be return-ed.

[hoary crown]

ok

[high sinew]

missing some closing stuff there

[iron haven]

line 504?

[faint yacht]

Just return { mult = card.ability.extra.mult }.

[hoary crown]

why doesnt just this work?

[faint yacht]

You're creating a card for the booster pack, G.pack_cards is expected there.

[iron haven]

what?

[high sinew]

what i had originally lol

oops wrong person

[iron haven]

oh

[high sinew]

thats what i had og but i think my key is off would i need prefix?

[faint yacht]

...there may be an extra end below the return?

[tall wharf]

crazy joker

[hoary crown]

cool

[faint yacht]

For the key_append, no, not really.

[hoary crown]

YOU.

HOW DO I MAKE THE THING WORK

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[high sinew]

canu send lua?

ill look at it

[high sinew]

imma dm u so i can show u what i mean

[faint yacht]

Just return the two values in a table. Why are you capitalizing the X, anyway?

[faint yacht]

xmult and xchips.

[high sinew]

yea

whats not working even lol i cant read a txt file XD

[hoary crown]

vs doesnt do anything either.

[hoary crown]

xchips.

[high sinew]

can u be more specific in what u mean by not working?

[hoary crown]

xnil.

well i uncapped them.

[high sinew]

this will help u

[faint yacht]

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

[iron haven]

Individual means trigger once?

[faint yacht]

.individual is for a given playing card.

[iron haven]

I want the joker to just trigger once.

[hoary crown]

HOW.

[daring fern]

When?

[high sinew]

did u look at it?

i do essentially everything u need for ur joker

[iron haven]

after the jokers are triggered?

[high sinew]

just do what matches ur function

[scarlet spire]

triggering once after all other jokers should be context.final_scoring_step

individual happens once per card, so that will happen way more than once

[hoary crown]

i doing this tomorrow.

bye.

[reef belfry]

am i tripping or does this not create a joker from the uncommon rarity pool

im pretty darn sure blueprint isnt an uncommon

[sturdy compass]

I’m pretty sure the 1 is making it a rare joker pool

[reef belfry]

oh is it like 0.9 0.8 something

[manic rune]

prob use this instead

[reef belfry]

i thought it was like 1 for uncommon yadda yadda

[sturdy compass]

Damn you beat me

[manic rune]

:3

[sturdy compass]

Belis the speedy one for once lol

[cursive sentinel]

question, i have a joker that creates a planet card in context.before, but newly created planets aren't taken into calculation by observatory, any idea?

[daring fern]

Is there a way to make the game think a joker is a Voucher/Spectral/Tarot/Planet and not a joker?

[reef belfry]

i wouldda expected that to emplace it automatically but i guess not i guess

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card emplaces automatically.

[reef belfry]

well i must be doing something wrong then

[rugged pier]

check observatory code

how do i make it so that a consumable can only be used where a hand is drawn (whether that be when you open a spectral/arcana pack) or just in a blind

[cursive sentinel]

actually i think i found my error, my card creation was in an event

so probably delayed, will try taking it out

[daring fern]

Look at immolate.

[rugged pier]

ty

[cursive sentinel]

is there a context before context.before? but after hand selected has been pressed play?

[daring fern]

Why?

[cursive sentinel]

cuz i have a cardeval text i want to appear before card creations, but despite putting it above within the same context, it seems to appear after the cards are created

if i were to move the card creation to joker_main, then the planet created wouldnt be taken into acc by observatory within the hand (i think?)

[faint yacht]

context.modify_scoring_hand is called before context.before.

[cursive sentinel]

thanks will try it

[faint yacht]

-# At least, I think it does.

[cursive sentinel]

mhh its called before playing

it's called when selecting cards

welp will stick with the context before and the message appearing slightly after the creation, a bit underwhelming but at least it's functionnal as for now

[wintry solar]

You wouldnt be able to get a message to appear before the planet of you want it to be taken into account by observatory due to how calculation and events work

[cursive sentinel]

that's what i suspected, but even if i put the message in an event before?

[wintry solar]

Yup

[cursive sentinel]

okay, thx for the answer!

[wintry solar]

Because you want it to work for observatory you have to create the card not in sequence of events and there’s no way to get a message to display in that way

[faint yacht]

-# Not even a patch of a custom context before the before would work?

[brisk rose]

How do you even know if your messages fail to send? They're already grayed out

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[subtle hawk]

Tf

Oh I think its too long...

[wintry solar]

Not to respect observatory, no

[faint yacht]

Fair 'nuff.

More readable joker description:
X3 mult after triggering joker to the right 5 times
Currently 0/5
Three questions here
1.card.ability.extra.check = card.ability.extra.check - 5
doesn't deplenish itself, how should I handle that
2.If joker to the right is going to trigger multiple times check
charges up immediately, is there a workaround for that?
3. Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult adds mult instead of XMult for some reason, confused because that's literally how Cavendish works in the example jokers mod

Why did I format it like that

That's better, I think

[manic rune]

hmm

what would i need to do to save data that retains over new runs

[daring fern]

Put it on the profile.

[manic rune]

where would i check the code to do that?

[daring fern]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].variable = value

[manic rune]

oh thats easier than i expected

thanks :D

[wintry solar]

1. that check looks to be within the check that it's < 5.
2. not sure what you mean by this, perhaps a video would make it clearer?
3. this wouldn't be adding mult, but it also needs to be within a seperate context check I think from your description

[subtle hawk]

Oh, I did misplace one end... I'll change that and then elaborate more, ty

[brisk rose]

Shouldn't it just send as an embedded text file then?

We like those here

[subtle hawk]

It didn't

[brisk rose]

Huh that's weird if you're on desktop

[subtle hawk]

Okay somehow that solved all three problems at the same time, but now I'm not sure how to set check to zero since if I do it before return{} it would just prevent X3 mult from happening and I don't think that I can do that inside instead

[faint yacht]

If you add a "func" entry into the return, you can put a function there.

[subtle hawk]

Ah

[wintry solar]

when do you want it to reset?

when it gives the xmult?

[subtle hawk]

Yeah, when it gives the xmult

I still wonder why it was giving mult before lol

[wintry solar]

if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.check == 5 then
  card.ability.extra.check = 0
  return {
    xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
  }
end

just use this

assuming you want the xmult to trigger in the standard place AFTER it has been primed

[subtle hawk]

Wanted to say that this doesn't work but when realized that after sending my code I changed every Xmult to x_mult to check if that was the issue lmao

[subtle hawk]

It works now, ty!

[placid star]

is there an easier and more efficient way to write this code?

if context.indivudal and context.cardarea == G.play then
   i = i +1
        if smods.has_enhancement(G.play.cards[1], 'm_mult') then
              return {Xmult =card.ability.extra.Xmult, colour = G.C.MULT, card = G.play.cards[i]} 
end
end

[daring fern]

Why are you checking if the first card has mult?

[placid star]

i thought this would check if A card has mult

[daring fern]

What does your joker do?

[placid star]

gives mult cards an additional effect of 1.5x mult on trigger

[coral flume]

Anyone know if you can make a pokerhand that requires enhancements, trying to create "Stone Five"

[daring fern]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_mult') then
        return {
            x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
            colour = G.C.MULT,
            card = context.other_card
        }
    end
end

[placid star]

ah okie so does context.other_card check that specific card?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

This is how I did it: https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/main/main.lua#L1206

[placid star]

@daring fern can you change localisation for base game items in an add_to_deck?

[coral flume]

This should help
Side note: writing out every single vanilla joker as an enhancement is an effort that should not go unseen

Thats commitment

[daring fern]

Rise.

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[placid star]

like if I wanted to make mult cards called smth else whilst a joker is held

[daring fern]

You would have to take ownership of it probably.

[placid star]

shittttt okay I'll just do that!

[reef belfry]

what do i even change here so it doesnt get fucked up cuz of talisman

to_big(mult)???

[daring fern]

Would it be possible to automatically make a joker for every planet?

[coral flume]

What does the "parts.pokerhand" mean?

[manic rune]

what do u mean by that

-# to smtcom

[zealous glen]

Hello how are you

[daring fern]

I'm making non-joker jokers and the planets are all the same except the hand type and name and key and atlas and pos.

[zealous glen]

@manic rune

[manic rune]

im gud, thanks :p

[manic rune]

hmm, u could try running a for loop through G.P_CENTERS, and smt to grab only Planets (i forgot)

then put SMODS.Joker in there and do some stuff, idk :p

-# very useful i know

[runic pecan]

Which palette looks better? (Those lines are stitches, in case anyone wonders.)

[manic rune]

that red looks really red for me, if that somehow makes sense

[midnight coyote]

i’m gonna add the devilsknife as a joker

it’s gonna be like the ceremonial dagger but for chips

[haughty wraith]

1

[midnight coyote]

10x sell value

[willow plinth]

btw does anyone know if there are filters or something for aseprite to get the same kind of saturation as in game?

[runic pecan]

What do you mean by that?

[manic rune]

colors become darker in balatro

i think

[unborn bay]

note that the crt shader still does crt shader things even if its set to 0

[willow plinth]

yeah the game changes the colors quite a lot than what they usually would look like - if you check the source code and copy paste the hex color code, e.g. for the base red, you can see it's completely different

or let me phrase it differently: where in the code is that color correction happening? is it shaders?

[runic pecan]

Tbh I have never kept an eye on such difference before, this is a TIL moment for me.

[unborn bay]

it's the crt shader

[willow plinth]

alright thanks (so the CRT.fs?)

[daring fern]

Is there a way for this to work with modded planets aswell?

[unborn bay]

I've been playing with a patch that removes the crt shader for so long that im used to the true colors

i only have it because my pc poopoo

and that i also use mobile from time to time

[willow plinth]

i'm gonna research if i can somehow turn the color changes in the shader to an icc profile

[daring fern]

Also why is this not working? I printed the keys of the jokers with this in game and it had a value.

[manic rune]

it should account for all planet cards, but what im worried is that it might run before all the planet cards are loaded in

i

[unborn bay]

i

[manic rune]

????

😭

[midnight coyote]

would -1 hand, +3 hand size be any good

for a deck

[manic rune]

isnt that just that one joker

[crisp coral]

permanent troubador

[manic rune]

but imo, yeah, i like hand size

[crisp coral]

also easier painted

[daring fern]

They all work except the localization.

[unborn bay]

you could try rerouting the set for that probably

via loc_vars

you can set them individually per joker you make

[coral flume]

Anyone know why this is crashing

[daring fern]

I patched in the enhancement thing in the examples.

[midnight coyote]

could i make a function that replaces base game blinds with my ‘upgraded’ base game blinds

i wanna do something where the difficulty steps up

[tall wharf]

i just realised I'm in dev

[crisp coral]

v is the card's value

[coral flume]

My bad, How would I fix that?

[coral flume]

What does this mean?

[daring fern]

Do you have a lovely.toml in your mod folder directory?

[placid star]

is there an example mod of how to make a tag? I'm rly struggling...

[runic pecan]

context.buying_card is when buying anything from shop;
context.open_booster is when buying and then opening a booster pack;
then which context is when taking a joker from a buffoon pack?

[coral flume]

Dont believe so, my mod just has its main.lua and assets

[daring fern]

Make a file called lovely.toml

Is there a function that happens when all mods are loaded?

[coral flume]

Sorry makin tea, be back soon

[coral flume]

Back and made this file

[faint yacht]

...how can we check which bosses were beaten at least once?

[daring fern]

Put this in it ```lua

[daring fern]

You could check in G.GAME.defeated_blinds

[daring fern]

[coral flume]

Still crashing

[daring fern]

Which is line 35?

[coral flume]

If card.ability.name

[daring fern]

Where did you get this code from?

[coral flume]

I cant really remember, its from one of my jokers that effects steel cards. guessing it doesnt work the same

[daring fern]

func = function(hand)
    if #hand < 5 then return {} end
    local ret = {}
    local stones = 0
    for i = 1, #hand do
        local v = hand[i].base.value
        if v then
            if hand[i].config.center.key == 'm_stone' and stones < 5 then
            stones = stones + 1
            table.insert(ret, hand[i])
            end
        end
    end
    if stones >= 5 and #ret >= 5 then
        return { ret }
    else
        return {}
    end
end

[daring fern]

Or is there a different way to get future planets?

[coral flume]

So no crash but it still does nothing

[daring fern]

Show your code.

[daring fern]

It should be parts.prefix__stone5

[daring fern]

Do you have these in your localization file?

[coral flume]

I dont have a localization file

Aight got one now

[coral flume]

Something like this? ```

return
{
misc = {
poker_hand_descriptions = {
scdrl__stone5 = {"5 Stone Cards"}
},
poker_hands = {
scdrl__stone5 = "Stone Five",
},
}

}

[daring fern]

Yes, but like this: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

Wrong link.

[coral flume]

Im so lost, what am I doing wrong here. I read the documentation and am now using the skeleton

[daring fern]

Show the rest of your localization file.

[daring fern]

Try copying the whole thing in there.

[red flower]

whats the name of the file

[placid star]

go beyond!

[coral flume]

en-us.lua

[daring fern]

Is it in a folder called localization?

[red flower]

oh, the poker hand is stone_five

not _stone5

[coral flume]

I'VE BEEN USING THE PARTS KEY NOT THE HANDS

[coral flume]

Thank you 🙏

It working!!!!!!!!

[shell timber]

the Bulwark in question:

though it's probably fine for multiple mods to add the same thing

[red flower]

nobody add 5 gold cards thats my thing now

[zealous glen]

The other mod adding harder version of vanilla Blinds:

[gilded goblet]

five of a gold kind

[zealous glen]

But yeah multiple mods already add the same things

[shell timber]

yeah repeats of existing content is fine

if anything modpack glue should add Reprint which is just blueprint again

[gilded goblet]

Toasted Wigeon plays 5 stone of a kind, asked to leave the casino

[cyan lagoon]

how do i make a joker effect consumable sell values?

[glad osprey]

question how does the negative filter work

and how would one recreate it

[faint yacht]

From Credit Card code of source...

if self.ability.name == 'Gift Card' then
    for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if v.set_cost then 
            v.ability.extra_value = (v.ability.extra_value or 0) + self.ability.extra
            v:set_cost()
        end
    end
    for k, v in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
        if v.set_cost then 
            v.ability.extra_value = (v.ability.extra_value or 0) + self.ability.extra
            v:set_cost()
        end
    end
    return {
        message = localize('k_val_up'),
        colour = G.C.MONEY
    }
end

[cyan lagoon]

this gets triggered at the end of round, but i want a passive effect

[faint yacht]

Define "passive".

[cyan lagoon]

effect is there as long as joker is present

[faint yacht]

...sounds like something that is done by add_to_deck and remove_from_deck respectively.

[cyan lagoon]

alright, how do i use them?

[red flower]

what's the exact effect?

[cyan lagoon]

the joker has bonus for selling consumables, but consumable sell for 0

[red flower]

you would need to modify the cost every time in context.card_added probably

or maybe in selling_card but that wouldnt update the value in the sell button

[hushed field]

you'd hook set_cost to check for the presence of that joker and whether a consumable is in your possession, I reckon

that's how I go about it for the Ocean's 11 joker

[red flower]

might be a problem when the joker is removed

[rugged pier]

You could store base value when the joker is present then run a for loop in your base values table when you sell the joker

To update costs back to old values

[hushed field]

If the joker is removed, you'd force it to reset everything, yeah. That's how I've set it up on that joker as well.

[red flower]

yeah but doesnt it still count as owned in remove_from_deck?

[rugged pier]

You can check for context.selling_card where the card being sold is the joker

Then run reset loop

[coral flume]

What color is used for probabilitys

[red flower]

i mean you can do it in remove_from_deck, my problem is that i dont like storing all the old values haha

[red flower]

green

[rugged pier]

Ah fair

[coral flume]

C:green?

[red flower]

yeah

[coral flume]

toight

[cyan lagoon]

question, is G.GAME.kino_oceans_11 defined anywhere or can i put anything after G.GAME. ?

cause i copied the code into my joker with a different thing and it doesnt work

[hushed field]

G.GAME.kino_oceans_11 is only defined on the joker itself! If the game checks for a variable in G.GAME and doesn't find it, it's the same as returning false

[rugged pier]

You can define game specific variables anywhere you want

And yes you can put anything after G.GAME.

Just make sure you’re defining it after the game starts running (I made that mistake a few times)

[hushed field]

did you also copy the hook of set_cost?

[cyan lagoon]

this

just different thing where kino_oceans_11

[rugged pier]

Show your hook

[cyan lagoon]

as in?

[rugged pier]

For set_cost

[hushed field]

aaah, yeah, you're missing some additional code, haha

[thin anchor]

goog morning

[rugged pier]

Goog morning to you as well

[red flower]

https://tenor.com/view/hook-peterpan-disney-captainhook-piano-gif-5531189

[hushed field]

kino_oceans_11 is a custom variable, so the cost_function doesn't inherently know what to do with it.

-- Booster:Set_cost hook for oceans_11    
local b_sc = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    -- print("entered: " .. (oceans or ""))
    b_sc(self)
    if (self.ability and self.ability.set == "Booster" and G.GAME.kino_oceans_11) then
        self.cost = 0
    end
    
end

in kinofunctions.lua, there's this snippet of code, which runs the base set_cost function, and then afterwards checks if it's a booster pack (as that's the specific use case of my joker), and if that variable is set

[modern kindle]

hello besties

[hushed field]

in your case, I'd actually opt for not setting a boolean like G.GAME.kino_oceans_11, but instead making it a variable with the number you wanna alter the cost by. That way you can have a bit more control over it, and you also don't need to access the joker's data itself. Only issue with that would be that it'd not actually be perfectly compatible with a mod like Cryptid which allows a joker's power to increase.

Yo yo Dilly

[modern kindle]

how have you been ice, faring well?

[hushed field]

dealing with some chronic illness issues but that's just an excuse to stay home and work on Kino, I guess

[modern kindle]

im sorry to hear, i hope you recover well enough soon since its chronic

[rugged pier]

Take care Ice

ice is my goat nothin keeps him down for long

[coral flume]

Planet card for the Stone Five

[hushed field]

I'm currently also playing around with how to rebalance my archetype for Dune content, which is tied to 'least played hand', as I'm realizing it's really just a concept that does nothing but level up your straight flushes, haha

[modern kindle]

you could instead of making it look for 0 make it look for the least played hand that has been played at least once

[hushed field]

Ooooh, that's good

[coral flume]

adds 50 chips, which is the same as adding more stones

[red flower]

your least played played hand

[modern kindle]

yes

[coral flume]

I did this for a spectral card

[lyric wadi]

how do you reckon i check for the first and last scored card of a hand

not like, the first and last entry in the hand list

but like the card that actually scores

[red flower]

context.scoring_hand[1]
context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]

[lyric wadi]

so doesnt count unscored or debuffed

ok thanku

[red flower]

debuffed is a bit harder

you need to check manually

[rugged pier]

Could run loop and skip debuffed

[rugged pier]

And check new table with same mechanic as this

[red flower]

but also if a player is putting a debuffed card as the last one you should punish them

[modern kindle]

if last card is debuffed, destroy all cards played

😎

[lyric wadi]

no but see

that's like appealing to me

cuz like a big hinging point of my pack is that i want to encourage and reward players for doing stupid plays you wouldn't do in any other situation

discarding wilds on a flush build, running both a stone and glass based deck at the same time, etc

[daring fern]

How does one retrigger all possible things?

[lyric wadi]

presumably return a retrigger with every possible thing?

like make a list that grab, "every single thing"

probably more like run a loop through G.play then G.joker then G.hand etc and adding them all to one big list

then return a retrigger for everything in that list

[faint yacht]

-# And G.deck and G.discard.

[lyric wadi]

probably

[lyric wadi]

so true

honestly grab G.playing_card to be safe

that'd be funny

[daring fern]

Also how would one shake the game window?

When something gets retriggered when retriggering everything?

Also how would I display an Again! message that covers the entire screen?

[rugged pier]

Interesting

[hushed field]

This is a really neat solve. Works well. Just gonna make 'Least Played' a glossary term that actually indicates that it only counts hands that have been played, for clarity

[modern kindle]

glad i could be of help :D
i took a break from my development because i was runnin into a wall so i played minecraft instead
but im starting to feel the itch to resume

[zealous glen]

Hello Dilly it’s been a while

How are you

[lyric wadi]

i think it'd be fine

[zealous glen]

I hope you’ll feel better soon Ice

[lyric wadi]

cuz like to me, you can absolutely get away with saying Least Played and Unplayed are two different categories

upgrading your Least Played hand would be the hand you played the least

but like a hand with 0 players would be an Unplayed hand

[modern kindle]

Hi vic!
im feelin alright, went through a bit of a rough patch mentally for a bit but im recoverin well

i hope you are also well

[lyric wadi]

which i think would also be an interesting concept

[hushed field]

I've seen three videos of people playing my mod and it's radicalized me, as far as supplying specifying info goes, haha

[lyric wadi]

like intentionally not playing a hand just so you can scale it hugely instantly later

investment

[zealous glen]

How so

[hushed field]

I do think if there is content that interacts with 'unplayed' hands, you wouldn't need to per se explain least played

[modern kindle]

see i dont usually run into the issue of 'oh im gonna not play this hand to save it for later'
i more often ran into the issue of 'well ive played too much of this hand to switch now'

[crisp coral]

literally Obelisk gameplay

[lyric wadi]

obelisk has gameplay?????????????

[daring fern]

Rise.

[crisp coral]

obelisk is the most fun rare joker to use

[hushed field]

I do like the idea of cards interacting with unplayed hands as a mechanic. Would you mind if I used it? I might make another Dune joker that gives +mult for each unplayed hand

[glad osprey]

obelisk is the pivot joker

[crisp coral]

obelisk does not need to be the pivot joker

[zealous glen]

You people use Obelisk

[glad osprey]

no but thats just cause i suck at the game

[crisp coral]

skill i

[zealous glen]

skill u

[hushed field]

Part of it is from me making pokemon fangames back in the day and being of the opinion that fan projects and mods often need to communicate slightly differently from mainline stuff, because people play them more casually, and are less prepared to learn systems in-depth. And that also causes things that aren't super clear to not be interacted with as much.

The other part is just that I noticed content creators, at least, but probably people generally, be quickly confused by new mechanics, and have questions, which more information doesn't hurt with. It's a lot easier to engage if you just tell people what things do, rather than have people learn parts of a mechanic due to interacting with it over and over

[modern kindle]

i struggle with deciding between too much and not enough information myself

[glad osprey]

i have also gotten idea from unplayed hand card

+2 dollars at for every unplayed hand

[hushed field]

Make it optional, is the best middle way, I think. Victin's press a key to show information system's the way to go there

[zealous glen]

I mean, throwing too much information at people is one thing that makes mechanics harder to learn

[red flower]

i make it a config option too

[zealous glen]

The solution is, of course, to have simpler designs

[red flower]

booooo

[glad osprey]

[modern kindle]

yea i need to do that at some point

[runic pecan]

What context is for "when acquire a joker"?

[zealous glen]

Go vote https://discord.com/channels/1334988047229653042/1363564317131149393

[red flower]

i still dont understand this

[zealous glen]

context.card_add and you test if it’s a Joker or not

[hushed field]

Also, mods have the issue of people not understanding a concept immediately (which is normal), making an assumption about what it does, and then assuming it's not actually working due to the mod not being made properly

[modern kindle]

thank god i was able to vote

[zealous glen]

What don’t you understand?

[red flower]

why is it needed in smods. i dont think it's hard to implement in each mod and any keybind will always clash anyway

[red flower]

yeah

[zealous glen]

The secret is that this isn’t exclusive to mods. Marvel Snap has changed how cards work to either be less confusing or to conform to players’ perceptions.

To a player, unintuitive behaviour and a bug look the same, so they’ll both always be reported as bugs

[hushed field]

It's not the same, but it's a pretty big change in frequency, I'd say, haha

[red flower]

the issue is taht with mods people don't have a place to go to learn that it's not a bug other than asking the creators

[zealous glen]

As I said, it’s not about difficulty. It’s about not having 10 different mods define 10 different shortcuts that do the same thing and players need to configure 10 different keybinds manually

[red flower]

balatro has some unintuitive mechanics but i learned them watching videos

[red flower]

the problem is that I don't see many mods doing the same thing for the same reasons wanting the same keybind

[zealous glen]

Tag and Boss Blind restrictions on when they can show up

[daring fern]

Rise.

[modern kindle]

The issue is if you don't throw the info in players faces they'll still not learn it for awhile, or even worse you've mentioned people don't read your stiff which explains everything
At some point it is less the mods fault

[hushed field]

But I'm partially biased because in creative writing projects, when I would do unconventional things with language, the assumption changed from 'creative license' to 'not understanding how proper English works' if people knew I am ESL, haha

[red flower]

oh i noticed that people actually read the tooltips so thats good enough

i got many less questions after i made all the glossary stuff

in tooltips

[zealous glen]

I think they don’t do it yet because it’s not an API yet. But it’s just a button that reloads the card the mouse is hovering over by default, which mods can listen to to change the regenerated UI

[bright axle]

what is the context to have when a play has ended?

bc the context.main_scoring doesn't trigger

[red flower]

yeah but what does "listen to" mean. different mods have different things they want to do when updating a description, sometimes multiple things

[modern kindle]

thats fair, tooltips are my beloved
i still need to start implementing that shit to move tooltips depending where they are

[zealous glen]

Listen to just means an if check to see if the key is being pressed

[runic pecan]

Like this?

[zealous glen]

No. My bad I meant to write card_added

[red flower]

I know, I mean what are they listening for? The "updated description" signal is too generic

[zealous glen]

I’m also not sure where the card is provided. Check the wiki

[zealous glen]

I don’t understand your question

[red flower]

Let's say I want to add a keybind for showing tooltips like you do. I also have one to change pages like BSR does. Can I only do both at the same time?

[zealous glen]

To be fair I think SMODS should also provide a paging keybind

[red flower]

Personally I wouldn't do pages like BSR, I prefer keybinds to switch between specific pages instead of being indexed

[zealous glen]

I mean, I don’t think SMODS can cater to every possibility, but a binary choice like mine or paging like BSR seem simple enough to be used multiple times

[red flower]

My point is that your system is too specific and doesn't really solve any conflicts nor makes anything easier

[zealous glen]

I don’t think you have argued that point successfully

It does make the player’s life easier

It makes the modder’s life slightly easier

Naturally some mods will be incompatible for this or that reason

[red flower]

I don't think many modders are going to care is my point

even the ones that want to add systems like that

[modern kindle]

i mean a way to integrate more description doesnt feel too specific
the amount of mods with a shit ton of information having a good way to integrate said information would be delightful and im not sure why regardless of amount of usage adding support for a feature is inherently negative

by default support for a shared system is a net positive since at the end of the day this is all unpaid work

[red flower]

I agree, I think a keybind to turn off all tooltips is a lot more useful

[zealous glen]

Isn’t there one already?

[red flower]

hmm not sure

[zealous glen]

Debug mode, like, maybe 7 or something

Not 8

[red flower]

i guess but most people don't use debug mode haha

[modern kindle]

yea debug mode should not be the reference point imo

[zealous glen]

Fair but I’m just saying

If you want that to be put into SMODS

You can request or PR it

[red flower]

I don't really

I think that's better as a separate mod

[zealous glen]

Then you can use DebugPlus for it 🤔

[crisp coral]

there are probably like 2 mods, maybe 3 that would utilize this

[red flower]

some people don't like having the cheating options but anyway my point is that "hiding the shit tons of information" is more generic than the hovering thing

[zealous glen]

The hovering itself is very specific, I agree, but it enables the more useful and general feature

Displaying extra info

[red flower]

I still think the problem of a mod wanting to have two sets of "extra info" makes the solution too narrow

[faint yacht]

-# I'd rather have this than how I tried to cram everything into one description.

[crisp coral]

okay that's your fault ngl

[red flower]

i had to right align the tooltips so they didnt go off the screen lol

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[daring fern]

Rise.

[bright axle]

can i ask a question?

[red flower]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[bright axle]

that anihilats all cards in sigh

any idea why?

bcs i don have a card deletion anywhere

[zealous glen]

I think that’s a more specific subset of mods, and again I think SMODS can provide paging shortcuts

[zealous glen]

Interesting. I’ve been thinking about adding a kart Joker

[red flower]

I think that specific set of mods are the same ones that want to use the system and like I said paging shortcuts would have their own problems like someone wanting separated pages vs indexed pages

[red flower]

hmm no idea sorry

[zealous glen]

What’s the difference between separated and indexed pages

Is it like individual page keybinds versus left and right?

[red flower]

Instead of Page 1 > Page 2 > Page 3 > Page 1, you have different keybinds for each page

[red flower]

ye

[zealous glen]

I mean SMODS could provide a limited version of that too

[faint yacht]

It was bound to happen, considering I used to play SRB2Kart quite a bit more than I do now.

[lunar briar]

am i in the wrong server

[red flower]

But you're providing a million APIs for the exact same thing lmao

[zealous glen]

Idk what I’m looking at

[red flower]

sonic

[zealous glen]

I don’t understand your point

These would just be reserved keyboard shortcuts that mods can opt to use, and be consistent with other mods

Maybe that’s an argument against separated pages

[red flower]

Separated pages are just much better than indexed ones imo

[faint yacht]

-# The green Hatsune Miku in 3rd place. But 'tis is modded SRB2Kart, pretty much.

[zealous glen]

Debatable, but also they’re very specific

[red flower]

I don't think that's a good enough reason to add more bloat to smods

[zealous glen]

I don’t think it’s bloat; I think it would be useful for mods to have access to

[tall apex]

How do I don’t ask to ask an ask

[red flower]

what

[modern kindle]

you said more bloat, whats the bloat that you feel exists?

[tall apex]

exactly

[red flower]

everything feature is bloat 🙂

[modern kindle]

smods is bloat

[zealous glen]

I’m the bloat

Sorry I meant to type “the Blot”, the Mickey Mouse villain

[red flower]

i think the real problem is that binding keys in the config is a pain

[tall apex]

Bind an instant loose key at random and have a joker that makes people learn to type

[red flower]

hating on controller players smh

(my mod doesnt have controller support yet)

[modern kindle]

mine will likely never have controller support unless i can rob someone elses support

[tall apex]

Skissue >:3

Jimbo teaches typing

[hushed field]

is the card_add context from a recent smods version?

[red flower]

yes

[zealous glen]

added*

[red flower]

card_multiply

[zealous glen]

Someone who’s neither pretty nor smart added it

[red flower]

i never made changes to smods what are you talking about

[hushed field]

So it's not in a released version yet?

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[zealous glen]

You’re a cutie pie

[hushed field]

Context.card_added is not a vanilla context, right? The smods version that adds it, is that in a release version of smods, or only in the dev branch still?

[red flower]

the release seems to be from a couple of days after

[zealous glen]

Right and Idk

[hushed field]

Oooh okay, maybe I didn't actually properly update smods then, and just imagined I did, haha

[zealous glen]

That’s what you get for buying Hallucination

[hushed field]

Oh, I didn't add smods to my dev folder, just to the Balatro mods folder, that explains things, haha

[spiral hawk]

I might’ve made my joker a bit too rare aaaa

[red flower]

i like my jokers medium well

[hard needle]

how does one replicate the sizing effect of wee joker?

cardloadref = Card.load
function Card:load(card_table, other_card)
    local ref = cardloadref(self)
    local scale = 1
    local H = G.CARD_H
    local W = G.CARD_W
    if self.config.center.name == "Big Joker" then
        self.T.h = H*scale*2*scale
        self.T.w = W*scale*2*scale
    end
    return ref
end

cardsetabilityref = Card.set_ability
function Card:set_ability(center, initial, delay_sprites)
    local ref = cardsetabilityref(self)
    local X, Y, W, H = self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w, self.T.h
    if center.name == "Big Joker" and (center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then 
        H = H*2
        W = W*2
        self.T.h = H
        self.T.w = W
    end
    return ref
end

🤔 it says attempted to index local 'center' (a nil value)

your hook has some issues
