[weak brook]

you dont need set_base

modify rank will handle it

[ancient plinth]

K

[glad osprey]

that sisi monster i hate:

[ancient plinth]

Still doesn't do anything

[graceful magnet]

so is there some calculate that runs after the final score of the hand is calculated

[ancient plinth]

What do I do?

[glad osprey]

what is it with murder drone pfps needing constant hand holding

[ancient plinth]

I literally started two days ago

Do you expect me to learn everything in a day?

[glad osprey]

oh nrvm,

[hard needle]

i mean you couldve like learnt lua first

then tried to start modding or something

[glad osprey]

i figured you were doing it for longer than that

[hard needle]

also what other murder drone pfps needed constant hand holding

[crisp coral]

learning lua first is lame

[glad osprey]

f

[crisp coral]

but programming knowledge is appreciated

[tall wharf]

who needs to learn lua when

[hard needle]

yeah, lua was easy to learn since i made a lot of stuff with python

[hard needle]

?

[glad osprey]

discord user F

[proud moon]

i did the think without taking ownership, i just hooked the loading function and it works perfectly

:>

[shut crater]

Something I recently discovered that is super helpful is opening the whole Mods folder in vscode instead of just your mod. Then vscode will recognize SMODS stuff and global function names and you can Ctrl+click on them to see how they work

And searching a function name will bring stuff up from the lovely folder so you can see the source code

[proud moon]

wait thats huge, i need to do that

[hard needle]

i do this but for some reason some stuff isnt recognized

[shut crater]

Yeah massive life hack

[shut crater]

Like what?

[hard needle]

G.playing_cards

[shut crater]

Huh, that's odd. Yeah idk much but opening the mods folder as my workspace did the trick for me

[hard needle]

yeah works with other stuff tho

[shut crater]

I do notice that sometimes because of how Lua is, some fields on some tables won't get recognized

[undone maple]

the thing is very wacky, sometimes it doesnt play the animation, sometimes it doesnt convert or destroy any cards, am i using wrong contexts?

[shut crater]

For testing purposes why don't you force one the if statement to always be true or always be false

And focus on each part separately

[tall wharf]

what context are you targeting

[tall wharf]

also yes this

[undone maple]

ill do that now

[proud moon]

im not actually sure how to do that, i havent used vsc for that long

[undone maple]

when a single card is played

(on the first hand of the round, i set the requirement here to >0 to test it without resetting over and over)

[wintry solar]

This isn’t set out how I would imagine any joker would be set out

[graceful magnet]

this is the second time I've had to make something manually calculate the score to do it's effect

[hard needle]

uhh

[graceful magnet]

if I had a nickel etc

[hard needle]

oh wait nevermind

i think you need to use a different context than context.cardarea == G.play but im not sure what

[zealous glen]

No

As I said, everything is calculated first

Actually, there is one

Plasma Deck

But SMODS doesn't make it available to everything

it only makes it available to Backs

[wintry solar]

current_round.current_hand.chips is a thing?

[zealous glen]

Technically it still runs at calculation time, but it can access the current chips

[zealous glen]

I haven't seen that in the dumps

[wintry solar]

Same

[zealous glen]

and I don't think it's documented

[wintry solar]

But chips and mult are global anyway

[red flower]

isn't it just hand_chips

[wintry solar]

It is

[zealous glen]

I tried using it but it was wrong

It would use the previous hand's chips

[undone maple]

context.joker_main?

[zealous glen]

I was trying it yesterday

[hard needle]

what is your joker supposed to do

[zealous glen]

Though I don't have that code because I didn't commit something that didn't work

[wintry solar]

hand_chips and mult are definitely the ones you should use

[hard needle]

hm

[graceful magnet]

though that might be me calling it wrong

[wintry solar]

No G.GAME

[hard needle]

i doubt this will work but try context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before, it's the context that DNA uses

instead of context.cardarea == G.play

[proud moon]

where is the original image of roffle

[hard needle]

and instead of using context.other_card use context.full_hand[1]?

[graceful magnet]

Alright yeah now it works

sweet

[undone maple]

yeah that seems to work perfectly - except destroying the card

[graceful magnet]

destroying a card is handled in a different context

[hard needle]

ahh hmm

[undone maple]

im aware, tried to reorder all the contexts but i still dont know how i can do it without any problems

to trigger the randomization i first need another context

[hard needle]

i figured but

[undone maple]

which defeats the purpose

[wintry solar]

Let me type it up for you, hold on

[zealous glen]

That works but as I expected it makes my Blind too strong lol

By the way, is there a context for after scoring regardless of whether you drew cards or not?

Sometimes you don't draw cards but I'd like to execute some (Blind) code at that time

[wintry solar]

if context.before and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and #context.full_hand == 1 then
  — set ability here
end
if context.destroying_card and G. GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 and #context.full_hand == 1 then
  — do check, return { remove = true }
end

[wintry solar]

what’s wrong with context.after?

[zealous glen]

That's before scoring still, no?

[undone maple]

but how will the randomization work? are the "do check"s the check for odds?

[wintry solar]

The check for your 1 in 4 yeah

[undone maple]

seems neat

ill try it

[zealous glen]

I thought it was before, main, after, final, then draw

[wintry solar]

No, final is before after

After is after scoring

[zealous glen]

Oh, but not after discarding, right?

[wintry solar]

Correct

[zealous glen]

I need a context after playing or discarding

[wintry solar]

Just check for either

[zealous glen]

But you might not draw after discarding

So I'm back at my original problem

[undone maple]

everything is perfect now, thank you

[wintry solar]

What effect are you trying to do?

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar this

[wintry solar]

why can’t if context.after or context.pre_discard then work?

[zealous glen]

pre_discard is before discard, right?

[wintry solar]

Yes but it’s the only one time discard context iirc

[zealous glen]

It needs to happen after discard to be consistent

[wintry solar]

There should be something that triggers fear

After

I don’t remember right now though

[zealous glen]

I'm printing this and putthing it on my wall

[zealous glen]

Drawing cards triggers after, just not all the time (if you don't draw cards)

[unkempt thicket]

its fear, fear breeds more fear

[undone maple]

how does the jiggle effect on dna and invis joker work?

[zealous glen]

juice_until

[wintry solar]

It’s my crying baby 😆

That’s what triggers fear

[hardy viper]

terror ensues

[zealous glen]

panic begotten

[glad osprey]

this one is better

also you should check out modding chat lol

[graceful magnet]

so I have this saving Joker like Mr Bones, but I've encountered the issue that after Ante 8, it appears to stop saving you

[dapper sun]

why are there so many roffles?

[daring fern]

How does one make a blueprint for booster packs?

[zealous glen]

what does that mean

[shut crater]

Bruh you cannot keep asking "how does one make a blueprint for _____" when no one has done it and expect an answer

You are braving a new frontier

[zealous glen]

is your mod on github

[graceful magnet]

I'm gonna explode

[shut crater]

Mine or theirs

[shut crater]

Classic

[proud moon]

how does this look?

i cut it down as much as i could

[shut crater]

Sounds interesting but the condition feels a little convoluted

[proud moon]

like the way its worded?

[shut crater]

It just feels like a lot of independent steps and checks

The mechanic itself, not the wording

[proud moon]

fair

[shut crater]

It feels like you want a risk to break stone cards without giving any reward, but is that necessary?

Stone cards are not exactly trivial to get in the first place

[zealous glen]

yours

[shut crater]

So the player is already investing some amount of resources into having stone cards in their deck, and now they're losing that stone card

[shut crater]

Yes but I forgot to push last night so if you're looking for the frog code it's gonna be half finished

[proud moon]

stone cards in trade for permanent econ, but it takes a lot of stone cards unless you have luck

[carmine burrow]

first part should be "Played Stone cards have a 1 in 5 chance to break" -- cutting words to the point that the description doesn't scan well makes it take longer to read

[zealous glen]

I couldn't find the GitHub so even that would help as a reference later

[proud moon]

this was close to the original text i had

[shut crater]

https://github.com/chaseoqueso/Powerful_Balatro

[carmine burrow]

i feel like having to play 20 stone cards on average to get the effect of a third of a mime is... pretty bad

[zealous glen]

thanks

[carmine burrow]

it's hard to balance but i'd try removing the 1 in 4 -- this would also make it easier to write the description clearly

[carmine burrow]

"played Stone cards have a 1 in 5 chance to break and permanently increase Gold card payout by $1" or something

[proud moon]

that would be way too powerful then

i wasnt set on the numbers yet tho

[carmine burrow]

"break" is also inconsistent with glass card description

[proud moon]

good catch

[shut crater]

Yeah, this isn't an ability that the player is going to completely run away with. You need to be investing resources into having both stone cards and gold cards, and you are permanently losing those stone cards

[carmine burrow]

a mime gives you $3 extra per gold card without having to mess around with any stone cards

[shut crater]

I would say make it a single chance, and balance around that

[proud moon]

but this would be permanent, meaning after getting rid of the joker the buff sticks

[carmine burrow]

glass joker is hard to scale even though you can also scale it using hanged man etc

usually i cant get glass joker past like x2.5

[shut crater]

If the stone card breaks, guaranteed upgrade, but only a 1 in whatever chance

[shut crater]

That's fine, I still think this ability is very weak in its current state

But if you don't agree, implement it as written and playtest

Technically none of us know how strong this will be until we see it in action

[proud moon]

im also trying to balance it with the rest of my mod, there is another joker that does the same thing but for steel mult instead of gold card payout, and a joker that increases all odds by 1 when held,

i made a spreadsheet actually lol, because i wanted to keep the general game balance throughout my mod

i havent gotten to the playtesting section yet, but im only a few jokers away from feeling like the pack is ready to test out in its entirety, thats when ill tweak the numbers of everything.

the general idea of the mod is to increase the usage of some of the lower tier vanilla jokers by adding jokers with synergies. This one and the steel one were for the marble joker, since i never take it

[shut crater]

Valid, then don't worry about balance right now

[shut crater]

Yeah that's cool, I get why you'd want to have an ability like this, just a matter of tuning

[proud moon]

absolutly. Perma scaling is a very tricky thing to balance, but this idea is what originally got me into making balatro mods lol, i just have to add it

its also why ive spend 3 days figuring out how to get it to work

[shut crater]

I spent over a week on a single joker lol, it be like that

[frozen willow]

Are all stake stickers past orange forced to be shiny? I've added a new stake above gold, and despite having shiny = false in the call to SMODS.Stake, the sticker still shines

[graceful magnet]

how exactly do you get set_card_type_badges working?

[slate bison]

what context am i missing here?

[tepid ridge]

how do i get balatro to recognize my mod so i can actually test it

?

[slate bison]

you should take a look at steammodded API on how to set up ur first mod

[slate bison]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[tepid ridge]

that page doesent really answer my question

like i copy and pasted and example mod just so i can see if balatro detects it

it didnt at first

but then i added the steammodded header and now it just crashes

so thats what i dont understand

[opal forge]

Did you install Lovely too?

[tepid ridge]

version.dll?

[opal forge]

mhm

What's the crash log saying?

[shut crater]

Your calculate function doesn't take any parameters

[slate bison]

bro omg

u are goddam right wth

why did i do that

[slate bison]

how is ur header looking like?

[tepid ridge]

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Edition Examples
--- MOD_ID: EditionExamples
--- PREFIX: edex
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Eremel_, stupxd]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Adds editions that demonstrate Edition API.
--- BADGE_COLOUR: 3FC7EB
--- DEPENDENCIES: [Steamodded>=1.0.0~ALPHA-0905a]

is it the steammodded version fault?

[slate bison]

i didnt put steammodded as a dependency honetly

honestly

this is mine and works really well

but mine is just a bunch of random jokers i do for fun

[slate bison]

what i think it is that you dont have an atlas ready in ur mod folder?

and it tries to collect the files but the files dont exist so it gives u an error

[tepid ridge]

so what do i do?

[slate bison]

this is my mod folder for example

this is the asset folder

inside folder 1x i have the art for my jokers

and on 2x i also have them

you have to set up ur atlas

[tepid ridge]

i have that folder

[slate bison]

do u have an atlas ready?

[tepid ridge]

??

[slate bison]

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

[tepid ridge]

what does joker art have anything to do with the game crashing and not detecting the mod?

[slate bison]

the error of ur game crash

says

"failed to collect data for ATLAS edex_edition_example"

so the problem is in your atlas

i would assume its on the formatting of files and stuff

cuz if its giving an error its detecting the mod anyway

[tepid ridge]

so what should i do?

[slate bison]

if i was you i would check this link:https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua that gives an example mod

and make sure the mod set up on the folder is correct

because im pretty sure its a formatting issue

specially because ur header didnt specify what your main file was named

and its in your main that you set what ur atlas is

[tepid ridge]

what do you mean by this?

[slate bison]

you cant just make ur mod folder in anyway you want, you have to name things the right way

[slate bison]

where is ur header file?

[tepid ridge]

i just pasted the text into the lua file

its outdated but supposedly it works

[placid star]

whars the variable that stores the current chips that a hand will score before its added to G.GAME.chips

[unborn bay]

i believe it's just called hand_chips

[placid star]

ah okay ty!!

how could i get my card to only show up when a certain criteria is met? for context i have a soul type spectral that i only want to show up if i have a legendary

[unborn bay]

use in_pool

in_pool = function(self, card)
    return true -- if you want it to appear
end

[chrome widget]

What's the best way to create cards with nonstandard dimensions?

I have a card that's 169x123. So I just have to manually set its scale in set_sprites?

[modern kindle]

hi winter :D

[chrome widget]

Hello!!!!

[placid star]

would i have to include a return false?

[modern kindle]

how have you been!

[chrome widget]

Hmm decent?

[modern kindle]

decent is positive so this is delightful

[unborn bay]

return false if you don't want it to appear on the pool

for your example you can probably have in_pool loop through your current joker list and check if any of them have a legendary

[zealous glen]

No, SMODS provides a way to do it

[chrome widget]

for whatever reason setting pixel_size wasn't getting me what I wanted

[zealous glen]

it's either pixel or display

both exist

display seems to have worked for me

[ancient plinth]

I am still kind of stuck on trying to make this joker, it's a combination of raised fist and strength, the highest scored card in your played hand ranks up

[zealous glen]

wide joker

[chrome widget]

Wide......

[unborn bay]

pixel_size is for setting the bounds of the sprite without scaling it

photograph for example uses a pixel_size of 71x80 to center it

same with wide joker

[chrome widget]

hmm and for whatever reason it appears to be drawing the sprites of this twice?

The Joker on the left is fine, but there's something weird with the Tarot, Voucher, and Booster

[zealous glen]

That doesn't look like it's an issue with the size of the sprite

[chrome widget]

I already fixed the sprite size issue

[ancient plinth]

what do I do?

[hot island]

does balatro store more than 2 decimal places internally and just displays the first 2 or does it cut off at 2 decimal places after each step

[tender ermine]

What is this to_big thing doing everywhere and why doesn’t it work

[chrome widget]

Hmm yeah I'm not sure why it appears to be drawing all the children twice. Bizarre

[zinc forum]

Dumb question mayhaps but can sounds be in subfolders

Like, can I have assets/sounds/english/sound.ogg

[zealous glen]

Oh, are they children of a sprite?

[chrome widget]

Yeah

[zealous glen]

Children are drawn automatically

[faint yacht]

Yes.

[zealous glen]

So if you draw them manually they're drawn twice

You need to tell SMODS to not draw specific keys

[zinc forum]

Huh, ok

[chrome widget]

I know, which is why I set them to custom_draw because I need them drawn in a specific order. Tables with named keys aren't treated as ordered for the purpose of drawing

[zinc forum]

It crashed on my end which is why I was surprised

[lethal stratus]

Currently have a vanilla-ish legendary:
All 3s scored give X3 mult
what should i do instead, its a bit broken

[zealous glen]

But did you tell SMODS to omit the default draw?

[chrome widget]

This is what happens without the order

[zinc forum]

Wait, forget I said anything, I forgot the mod prefix

[chrome widget]

And no, the code for drawing children will pass on this if one of these is true

[zealous glen]

what do you mean

[chrome widget]

if you set a child to custom_draw = true, this code won't run

[urban wasp]

this code causes a stack overflow when the mythic joker attempts to spawn in (it even lags my entire computer)
it would be nice to know why

SMODS.Tag {
    key = "mythic_tag",
    atlas = "crp_tags",
    pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    min_ante = 5,
    config = { type = "store_joker_create" },
    apply = function(self, tag, context)
        if context.type == "store_joker_create" then
            local rares_in_posession = { 0 }
            for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if v.config.center.rarity == "crp_mythic" and not rares_in_posession[v.config.center.key] then
                    rares_in_posession[1] = rares_in_posession[1] + 1
                    rares_in_posession[v.config.center.key] = true
                end
            end
            local card
            if #G.P_JOKER_RARITY_POOLS.crp_mythic > rares_in_posession[1] then
                card = create_card("Joker", context.area, nil, "crp_mythic", nil, nil, nil, "cry_eta")
                create_shop_card_ui(card, "Joker", context.area)
                card.states.visible = false
                tag:yep("+", G.C.RARITY.crp_mythic, function()
                    card:start_materialize()
                    card.misprint_cost_fac = 2
                    card:set_cost()
                    return true
                end)
            else
                tag:nope()
            end
            tag.triggered = true
            return card
        end
    end,
}

[zealous glen]

I mean, clearly it's drawing them twice. Have you tried setting the keys to be ignored?

[chrome widget]

I could, sure

[ancient plinth]

Can someone please help me with this?

[chrome widget]

No change

Gonna try to draw them all relative to the center

They all became small. Strange

[agile dew]

does anyone know where i can find the create_card syntax?

[zealous glen]

the wiki

[agile dew]

which part of the wiki?

[zealous glen]

utility

[agile dew]

oh shit i missed that

thanks!

[ancient plinth]

Idk what to do

[agile dew]

it doesnt allow for playign cards?

[chrome widget]

Okay so I added a manual frame draw flag and it fixes it, implying that this draw function is definitely being called twice

I am...... confused, at the very least

[agile dew]

i am NOT good at all but shouldnt you add context.cardarea == G.play in there somewhere?

what does it do currently?

[zealous glen]

Maybe it's a bug

[chrome widget]

I'll enable it in the collection to see if it's something specific to do with the challenge screen

[ancient plinth]

Nothing at the moment, what it's meant to do is in the message you replied to

[agile dew]

whoops

well, its not checking which cards are played

again i started coding little ago but it should check for the highest PLAYED card right?

[ancient plinth]

It's checking for the lowest scored card

[agile dew]

i got no idea

sorry

maybe someone more skilled can help

[shut crater]

Did you add print statements to see which code is getting called and which isn't

[chrome widget]

Okay it's not specific to where it's drawn

[ancient plinth]

I don't even know where I should put them

[desert ore]

Ok so just to clarify, you want the highest ranked card held in hand to give mult equal to rank and then raise its rank?

[ancient plinth]

I want the lowest scored card to gain a rank after a hand is scored

[shut crater]

Before the if statement, after the if statement, inside the event

Wherever you're not sure code is getting run

Because either the function to rank up isn't getting run, or it's getting run but doesn't work

[desert ore]

So lowest scored played card gets a rank up and nothing else? Okok

[shut crater]

You want specifically scored card? Right now it looks like it's doing the raised fist thing of lowest in hand

We can address that after though

[ancient plinth]

So what do I do?

[shut crater]

Start with print debugging

See if, in fact, the code is even being run

[ancient plinth]

Where does the print even show up in-game?

[shut crater]

If you have the DebugPlus mod it will show up in the game, otherwise it will show up in the lovely terminal that pops up when you start the game

Well it always shows up in the terminal

But it will also appear in game with DebugPlus

[desert ore]

I need to start using print debugging, probably would make figuring out stuff on my own faster

[shut crater]

It's a great strat

Has anyone tried using the vscode debugger?

I wonder if that works

That would be nice

[woeful pivot]

why isnt my joker showing up in the collection?

also the mod isnt showing up in the mods list

[shut crater]

So that's the root issue

[woeful pivot]

just looked it up, what do i do with the json file?

i havent made it

[shut crater]

You just make the json file (separate from your main.lua) and fill out the template from the wiki

[woeful pivot]

alr, is this formatted right { "id": "JoLanMod", "name": "JoLan Mod", "author": ["JoLan"], "description": "My mod, just playing around and figuring out code.", "prefix": "jln", "main_file": "main.lua", "badge_colour": "c7638f", "dependencies": [ "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~BETA-0416b)" ], "version": "1.0.1o-FULL" }

[shut crater]

Try it

Looks good from here

[woeful pivot]

its not working

[shut crater]

Hm

[woeful pivot]

I think it has to do w/ the dependency

or version

[shut crater]

Is your steamodded version older than that version?

[woeful pivot]

no its exactly that

[shut crater]

Maybe just use the default for now and see if it works

[woeful pivot]

doesnt work

is it an issue w/ the lua part, bc it immediatly starts w/ jokers

[shut crater]

I'm on mobile rn so I can't look at how I set my project up, sorry

But you have other mods installed and they show up?

Like your mods folder is usually detected properly?

[woeful pivot]

yes, but i disabled them all bc i didn’t want them to interfere

[woeful pivot]

yes

[shut crater]

It looks like you're missing the priority field

Not sure if that would prevent it from being detected

[woeful pivot]

what’s that?

[shut crater]

I would try matching the wiki exactly

{
    "id": "",
    "name": "",
    "display_name": "",
    "author": [""],
    "description": "",
    "prefix": "",

    "priority": 0,
    "badge_colour": "",
    "badge_text_colour": "",
    "version": "",
    "dependencies": [],
}

[woeful pivot]

ok

whats the wiki page?

[urban wasp]

this code causes a stack overflow when the mythic joker attempts to spawn in (it even lags my entire computer)
it would be nice to know why

SMODS.Tag {
    key = "mythic_tag",
    atlas = "crp_tags",
    pos = { x = 7, y = 0 },
    min_ante = 5,

[shut crater]

Try leaving dependencies as the default from the wiki or even blank

[gilded narwhal]

Hey gang how would I copy multiple jokers at the same time

[red flower]

copy as in duplicate or copy as in blueprint

[gilded narwhal]

Copy as in blueprint

[shut crater]

Is it because you're calling tag:yep inside of the tag's apply function?

[gilded narwhal]

This (also should this be rare or uncommon)

[woeful pivot]

still not working

[shut crater]

I honestly don't know, maybe your folder structure is incorrect?

[shut crater]

https://github.com/chaseoqueso/Powerful_Balatro

Here's mine

[woeful pivot]

im a magician (i changed absolutely nothing)

[shut crater]

Was it the file name

[willow plinth]

maybe try to change the version to something normal like 1.0.2?

[woeful pivot]

i think it was bc i never did ctrl+s lmao

[willow plinth]

oh lol

[shut crater]

That's crazy

[woeful pivot]

its just so peak

[shut crater]

I think there's an SMODS helper method but I don't think it's documented

[woeful pivot]

tysm for the help

[shut crater]

I would suggest opening the mods folder in vscode and searching for blueprint

[shut crater]

Welcome to the modder club 😎

[zealous glen]

use the SMODS blueprint effect helper function and merge the outputs

then return it

[ancient plinth]

What is it now?

[shut crater]

You use self.ability instead of card.ability

It should always be card.ability in the calculate function

[ancient plinth]

Now nothing happens when I score it again

[shut crater]

You don't need line 112 at all

That's a vanilla way of checking which ability to use

[ancient plinth]

I deleted the line and this crash happened

[woeful pivot]

if i want to make another joker, do i just attach it after the code ive already done?

[ancient plinth]

You make a second Smods joker

[shut crater]

Did you also delete the corresponding end?

[ancient plinth]

Which one is it?

[woeful pivot]

how do i do the atlas thingy, it seems complicated

[shut crater]

How much coding experience do you have? Like not just Lua but in general

[ancient plinth]

me?

[shut crater]

Atlas is just a big picture with all your joker sprites, each joker picks a position on the image

[woeful pivot]

how do i make one

[shut crater]

Yeah, it seems like you're getting hung up on the basics of Lua, which is gonna make things extremely difficult for you

[ancient plinth]

I mainly use clickteam, which is event based and not text based

I only started Lua 2 days ago

[woeful pivot]

gulp (i have the exact same issue)

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod

[unborn bay]

i would say consult the lua manual but the lua manual kinda poopoo

[ancient plinth]

Also

[shut crater]

Any of them, they're all the same

[gilded narwhal]

wdym by merge?

[shut crater]

Lines 128-131

[agile dew]

anyone knows how to put in a custom sound? it pops up with this

[placid star]

how can you find the chip value of any given card?

[woeful pivot]

ik you can just select the position, but how do you put the joker sprites on those positions, do you just make something thats like 142 x 190 and put 4 jokers in there and then just say (0,0) (0,1) (1,0) and (1,1)? (also idk where those points correlate to, is it just a normal coordinate grid)

[unborn bay]

0,0 would refer to the topmost leftmosr joker in an atlas

also yes it's just normal coordinates

think of each number in coordinates as being multiplied by the pixel size you set for the atlas

then the game uses that as the offset for rendering

[ancient plinth]

I tried deleting all the ends one at a time, whenever I deleted one at least three errors appeared

[woeful pivot]

the picel size is just the size of each joker, right?

[unborn bay]

in pixels yeah

a standard joker is 71x95

all cards in balala are 71x95 actually, though some cards like consumables and vouchers simply don't use some of the extra space

[shut crater]

This error actually seems like you have an opening curly brace that doesn't have a matching close

[zealous glen]

Well, you can only have one return

[woeful pivot]

yeah my sprite doesnt quite take up the full 71x95 but its still 71x95, just with some inivisble space

[zealous glen]

Although you might not need to merge them

But you need to handle multiple outputs

Maybe you'll want to make use of an extra subtable

[woeful pivot]

should i name my 1x and 2x sprite sheets different things?

[zealous glen]

no

[shut crater]

No, and I would suggest referencing the example jokers while you're still starting with the basics
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/assets

The examples are limited but a great starting point

[ancient plinth]

Where do I put it

[zealous glen]

is it possible to play your game on a browser :?

[shut crater]

Idk I can't see the line the error is referencing

But it says the opening curly brace is on line 84

[shut crater]

Yes but maybe not on Mac?

[zealous glen]

Windows

[shut crater]

Yeah you should

Lmk if you can't

[zealous glen]

I can select a tank but nothing happens then

[shut crater]

You need two players

Wasd and arrows

[zealous glen]

how do I connect a second player

[shut crater]

Or controllers

Player 2 select is right ctrl

[gusty iron]

key = "boss_rush",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Fusion Fiasco",
        text = {"Combine the abilities of three random boss blinds."}
    },
    atlas = "Blinds",
    pos = {y = 0 },
frames = 1,

what am i doing wrong here??

[zealous glen]

I don't have right control

[daring fern]

frames goes in the atlas.

[gusty iron]

oh

[shut crater]

May need an external controller. I haven't gotten around to adding key rebinding

[zealous glen]

I guess I won't play then 🤔

[shut crater]

Sorry :')

It is unfinished

I plan to grind it out this summer

[gusty iron]

why does it look like this

[shut crater]

Pos only has a y value and no x?

[ancient plinth]

Here it is

[gusty iron]

for animations, yes

[shut crater]

Interesting, I'm unfamiliar with animations

[ancient plinth]

What is wrong?

[shut crater]

I'm like 98% sure it's something to do with the ends not matching up. Every if, for, and function should have its own end. Any extra ends will make Lua freak out

[tall wharf]

how did you define your atlas

[gusty iron]

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = "Blinds",
    path = "Blinds.png",
    px = 64,
    py = 64
}

[tall wharf]

maybe put both x and y in the pos

[gusty iron]

i tried that already

[ancient plinth]

It no longer crashes

however, it now says nil 5 times when I score a hand

[shut crater]

Can you send a new screenshot of your calculate function with the print statements you added?

[gilded narwhal]

guys why does this not trigger on jokers that don't use joker_main

[ancient plinth]

I think I forgot the quotes

[tall wharf]

pretty sure blind chips are like this

[gusty iron]

YIPPIE

[tall wharf]

why is it 64x64

[gusty iron]

thats the 1x size

the 2x size is 128x128

[tall wharf]

???

[gusty iron]

these

i just set it to the 1x size but i think it works??

[tall wharf]

but why is the 1x 64x64

[shut crater]

K so your loop is running, that's good. Inside that loop you need that code from before where it finds the lowest card and stores it in raised_card

[gusty iron]

thats what i found on the wiki page??

[tall wharf]

per subimage

what wiki page 😭😭😭

[gusty iron]

okay yeah i see the issue now 😭

time to RESCALE!!!

rescaled :)

[tall wharf]

?

[gilded narwhal]

please im so confused

like does SMODS.blueprint_effect only use joker_main????

[gusty iron]

i realized that 64x64 was supposed to be the 2x size

[shut crater]

Do you need to return the blueprint_effect call

[gusty iron]

WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT 😭

how big are blinds supposed to be in size?? 😭

[tall wharf]

34x34 with 1px margin on all sides so 32x32

[gusty iron]

okay peak

ty

[tall wharf]

i believe this margin is important

[gusty iron]

also your mod is very funni i played it :)

[gilded narwhal]

this doesn't fix it

Like it's ONLY on jokers that use joker_main for some reason

It works just fine on those

But it does nothing for stuff like photograph or dna

[tall apex]

bleehhhhh hii :3

[gusty iron]

yoyo!!!

[gilded narwhal]

This doesn't work either even tho i literally just copied the code from blueprint

Same problem too

[unborn bay]

note that the pseudorandom calculation here will always take effect for every calculate context

could be a coincidence that they don't work because of that

[gilded narwhal]

How would I go about fixing that then?

[unborn bay]

that's the problem i don't think you can lmao

[shut crater]

calculate whether to trigger or not in context.before and then store it and use that stored value for the rest of the contexts

[unborn bay]

you can do that yeah

[shut crater]

perform the random roll only once

right now for testing I would set odds to 1

[gilded narwhal]

Actually hold on lemme just remove the pseudorandom in there and see if it works properly without it just to make sure that's the issue

[shut crater]

and just verify that you can get it to copy an ability period

ye

[tall apex]

I had an idea for my mod, I decided that I want to absolutely scare the player shitless so I’m going to make a blind blind where you cannot see the required score and it can be anywhere between x0.5 to x1.5

[shut crater]

better yet, the player must score a hand within a specific hidden range and all they get is an ominous "too high" or "too low"

[tall apex]

REAL

Screw it, boss blind that puts you in the back rooms

IT IS TIME TO GO

[shut crater]

point and click backrooms in my balatro

[tall wharf]

I'm sorry?

[tall apex]

Real, find jimbos 7 pages or whatever

[tall wharf]

i already have a game mode where you have to score within ±2%

[shut crater]

whoa

so basically that but you don't get to know the number

[tall apex]

Silly alert

[unborn bay]

you should play aikoyori's shenanigans

[tall apex]

[unborn bay]

it has math in it

and letters

but no chess

[tall apex]

Math isn’t real I’m an art student

[shut crater]

math is real, I'm a cs teacher 😔

[tall apex]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wiggle-crazy-cat-zoomies-gif-9877358298643393466

Me when numbers I have to comprehend instead of going ‘haha big number get bigger’

[unborn bay]

ok now that i think about it how would a chess deck actually work

how would you select which pieces to move

[tall apex]

With the mouse :3

[unborn bay]

and where to move them

[shut crater]

you got piece cards and move cards

next question

[tall apex]

Also with the mouse :3

[shut crater]

I think that's just chess

[tall apex]

…,,, yes.

[ancient plinth]

temp_ID = G.hand.cards[i].base.id; raised_card = G.hand.cards[i]
This?

[shut crater]

yep

[tall wharf]

the problem is that it would be fucking boring

[tall apex]

I can’t wait for college to be over so I can work on my SM64 joker

[shut crater]

Soon™️

what it do

[tall apex]

Real

[tall apex]

Oh it’s gonna be a nightmare to code it actually just makes the background run sm64 through an emulator core and you get mult equal to how many stars you have on the save

Among other milestones with unique abilities like vanish cap, metal cap, etc

[gilded narwhal]

this was not this issue

[tall apex]

I hate having free time

[brisk rose]

What the fuck's wrong with you? /pos

[gilded narwhal]

This is how it decides what joker to copy

[tall apex]

A lot!!! :3

[shut crater]

magnificent

[tall apex]

I just want to be like heck you play a different game now

https://tenor.com/view/eminem-eminem-throwing-donut-donut-gif-3570247707103203881

Throws Mario at you

[brisk rose]

SM64 is bold too because oh how inefficient N64 emulation still is

[tall apex]

Real (I’m delusional and like the plumber wahoo individual)

He go boing!!!

[shut crater]

didn't someone already mod doom into the collection tab

[tall apex]

Wait did they? That’s so funny oml

[shut crater]

and this works for only context.joker_main?

[tall apex]

-# but can it run doom

[desert ore]

is there any more elegant and vanilla-y way to phrase/format this?

really wish there was a quartered/halved equivalent for 5

[tall apex]

Use lowercase x :3

Wait maybe? Am I stupid

[gilded narwhal]

Yeah

[brisk rose]

I'm not sure what it does. It seems to imply it changes the hand's base values no matter where it is in the order

Is that what it does?

[ancient plinth]

Still does nothing except say test

Although it says test less in the debugger now

[desert ore]

yeah it affects base mult like the flint

[tall apex]

Def don’t say base, jimbo just says ‘+4 mult’ no need to overcomplicate it :3

[shut crater]

you need to store other_joker in ability.extra if you plan to access it across multiple contexts

[halcyon elm]

how difficult is it to make a mod that just changes how the card look?

[brisk rose]

Tbh that's pretty much how it'd be written then

[tall apex]

Oh is base a different thing?

[brisk rose]

But it doesn't work like jimbo

[tall apex]

Icicic I’m stoopy

[brisk rose]

Lol you good. I'm just a silly raccoon

[gilded narwhal]

So just like move other_joker to extra and use that?

[tall apex]

I’m literally a silly bee shark ong :3

[ancient plinth]

Let me get the screenshot rq

[shut crater]

Raised Fist Strength Joker

[brisk rose]

Ah yes... threads in text channels, delicious (I think I'm gonna throw up)

:p

I'm just making fun of discord, not y'all

[desert ore]

I could use '/' instead of '÷' but it still looks weird to me to have it like that, but otherwise it just looks odd saying anything else as well

[shut crater]

the flow of chat was making it difficult to follow

[desert ore]

might have it be /4 instead just so I can have it say tripled and quartered respectively

[brisk rose]

Fair tbh

[brisk rose]

I mean... fifthed is a word

[hearty sun]

Maybe you could reuse the phrasing of The Flint?
Something like Multiply base Mult by 3. Divide base Chips by 5

[brisk rose]

That night be better

[desert ore]

flint is "Base Chips and Mult halved" tho isn't it

[brisk rose]

Also I'm not very confident in this usage making sense to people even if it technically englishes

[hearty sun]

Then Base Mult multiplied by 3. Base Chips divided by 5

[desert ore]

this is why I was saying this, just so it is like the flint

[hearty sun]

You could also have a At the very beginning of scoring
It may be less correct, but more understandable

[desert ore]

honestly wording the jokers is the most annoying part of creating jokers istg

[tender ermine]

I’m having an issue when creating consumables with a joker and putting it into my consumables area, I keep getting the error ‘’’ functions/common_events.lua:2312: attempt to index local ‘center’ (a nil value)’’’

[desert ore]

can we see your code

[tender ermine]

Sorry for bad image quality, it’s on my school provided computer

[daring fern]

Keys can't have spaces.

[tender ermine]

Oooooh, that’s why! Thank you!

[daring fern]

Also you should be checking context.main_eval not context.cardarea

[tender ermine]

Gotcha

Wait I am still getting the same error

I swapped the spaces for underscores (in both the consumable script and the script I sent) and swapped cardarea to main_eval

[daring fern]

Try replacing everything in the if with SMODS.add_card({set = 'Tarot', area = G.consumeables})

[tender ermine]

Testing it rn

Alr the error stoped, thank you!

[gilded narwhal]

i was editting the wrong file

in reality it took literally just deleting one line

[gaunt phoenix]

My enhancement is making the game crashes when it score. So I guess the problem is coming from my calculate fonction but ehm.. Can't find the problem :c could someone help me please ?

edit : the idea of my enhancement is to scale flat mult based on how many void card there is in full deck (kinda like steel joker)

[hearty sun]

I'm making a planet card for a Blackjack hand (3 or more numbered cards summing to 21) and I'm not sure if this is readable (the hand graphic at the bottom)

Didn't think the image would be this small...

[tender ermine]

Sorry if I am being annoying but what do I do if my consumable is invisible in the collection and gameplay

[gaunt phoenix]

wdym by invisible ? no texture ? or like doesn't exist at all ?

(and no you're not annoying, this channel is here for that !)

[tender ermine]

I can hover over it in the collection menu and it will show the description. It also shows particles there

[daring fern]

What does your atlas look like?

[tender ermine]

2nd one

[hearty sun]

I'm not sure, but why self.ability?
Because that's what seems to trigger the crash

[gaunt phoenix]

maybe you should do more something like XYZ = 21, but that would make the thing not symetric

[shut crater]

always card.ability in calculate

[daring fern]

No, I meant what does the file look like?

[hearty sun]

Yeah, tried that, it did NOT look right

[gaunt phoenix]

maybe you should do 0 2 1 ?

instead of X Y Z ?

[gaunt phoenix]

will try that

thanks

[manic rune]

how do i use detailed_tooltip for ui

im PRETTY sure i asked this in here before, but i couldn't get it working

[tender ermine]

There is both the file open in ms paint and the code for the consumable

[gaunt phoenix]

don't crash anymore ! :D (the effect of the enhancement isn't working lmao but at least that's not crashing)

[rustic swallow]

does anyone know why ability is nil here

[desert ore]

I would say have it be 3 cards numbered by dots like it is on saturn that add to 21, or something to that effect

[sturdy compass]

The variable order for loc_vars should be self, info_queue, center
or if you'd like, you can change center to be card

[rustic swallow]

never really knew the order mattered, thanks!

[limber blaze]

card is more accurate anyway since it represents an actual card instance

center is usually used to refer to the general definition that all instances take on as a base

which is what self is here

[rustic swallow]

thank you for letting me know

[hearty sun]

I had this one (with 4, 7 and 10) but it's very hard to read a number >6 with dots

[desert ore]

Hmm I see

[gaunt phoenix]

maybe 6, 6 and 9 (3x3 square)

[heady siren]

Has anybody else had issues with changing the chip / mult scoring background colors and completely breaking the effect alongside Plasma Deck?

Whenever I ease the scoring background colors it breaks the Plasma Deck coloring and then it doesn't change color again until the game is restarted

[desert ore]

5+5+5+4? having it be 3 would be nice for clarity hmm

also would be nice if there was a way to indicate numbered cards, assuming that means no faces or aces

[lethal stratus]

need help making this work

[daring fern]

calculate_reroll_cost is a function, you need to hook it.

[lethal stratus]

how do i hook it 😭

[sturdy compass]

You should change from a calculate to an add_to_deck and a remove_from_deck

[lethal stratus]

?

its a reroll cost changer what does add/remove do

[sturdy compass]

Just different functions

[tender ermine]

First image is the issue, second is my code on the consumable end, 3rd is atlas code(second one down), fourth is the atlas image open in ms paint. Plz help

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭

[sturdy compass]

Assuming you set it up right, when you add it to the deck it'll change the value right then and there as opposed to you waiting for the card to calculate. Same with a remove

[junior lily]

would this be too dark for a card border

[tall wharf]

do you make the the in mspaint

[junior lily]

(card edge)

[lethal stratus]

k

[tender ermine]

Yes

All of em

[lethal stratus]

how do i change the reroll cost back / make it normal

[hearty sun]

I admit that I completely abandoned the idea of showing the No Face cards rules on the planet
But Aces do work (and quite well) as either 1 or 11

[sturdy compass]

Take a look at how the reroll vouchers do it

[daring fern]

Is your 2x file the same but double scaled?

[tender ermine]

Yep

[thorn flame]

its x5 and 1/2

[gaunt phoenix]

still on the same code, no crash now, but I guess my function don't detect my Void Card (custom enhancement), what's the typical syntax to check if a card is from a certain enhancement ?

[hearty sun]

Here are 2 suggestions
And honestly, I really like the 021, it's really clear!
Thanks!

[daring fern]

Use SMODS.has_enhancement(v, 'm_prefix_key').

[gaunt phoenix]

I prefer the first one too yes !

[desert ore]

yeah, making card art seems tough. there's probably always going to be compromises with art this small

[gaunt phoenix]

will try that thanks !

[tall wharf]

people be adding any celestial objects as planet cards now

[gaunt phoenix]

'm_prefix_key' is the key of the enhancement ?

[paper zealot]

Trance used to have this same issue with this. Their solution involved patches for the plasma deck specifically: https://github.com/SpectralPack/Trance/blob/main/lovely.toml

[hearty sun]

All the (local) planets were taken, okay‽

[daring fern]

m_yourmodprefix_keyofyourenhancement

[gaunt phoenix]

is there a sun card in vanilla game ? 🤔

[tall wharf]

it's ok this is one of mine

[gaunt phoenix]

thanks !

[heady siren]

Would copy-pasting it from there just work?

[lethal stratus]

feel like im missing a lot of somethings

[hearty sun]

Oh, constellations are a cool idea ... wait, how many cards are in that hand?????

[heady siren]

You need a comma after the first line of the return, it's a table

[sturdy compass]

add_to_deck doesn't do contexts and returns

Take a look at the documentation for it on the Joker page

[tall wharf]

12+

[heady siren]

Also, that's not how return tables work

You return values, you don't set values, so you don't return those, you just put them into the function

[tall wharf]

here's a simpler card

[heady siren]

Also, you don't call a context within add_to_deck, that would be in calculate

[lethal stratus]

but calculate doesnt work because this is a constant

[heady siren]

There's a lot of problems here

[desert ore]

if you're happy with this then fair fair, maybe put 2 aces on it? smth like ace ace 9. I'll be honest tho this isn't hugely important, I hadn't even comprehended that those small cards were on planets lmfao

[heady siren]

What do you mean it's a constant?

[lethal stratus]

lua is fine, but steamodded is genuinely unreadable for me

the reroll cost is... always 7 dollars

until the joker is sold

[tall wharf]

admittedly they do get a bit crazy

[heady siren]

Okay, so you'd do that in update, not add_to_deck

Also the joker_main context only triggers when you're actively in a round after playing cards

[lethal stratus]

full disclosure, i have borderline no idea how steamodded works and am learning through this because the documentation is confusing

[heady siren]

It's the specific event where jokers like, give mult or chips

[tall wharf]

i need to add rhythm game to balatro

[heady siren]

Long story short, wrong function, it should be update, wrong context, it shouldn't have one, and wrong execution, it shouldn't be in a return

[sturdy compass]

Why update tho?

[daring fern]

Try putting this somewhere in your code but outside of all things:

local oldcalculatererollcost = calculate_reroll_cost
function calculate_reroll_cost(skip_increment)
    if #SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key') > 0 then
        G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = 7
        return
    end
    return oldcalculate_reroll_cost(skip_increment)
end

[heady siren]

That would also work well

[sturdy compass]

Oh I see now

Ok

[tall wharf]

astra

[lethal stratus]

would i call this to make it 7 or something

[tall wharf]

how do i add stepmania to balatro

[sturdy compass]

aiko.

[tender ermine]

This doesn’t make sense! What is going on???

[daring fern]

No, it gets called automatically every time the game try's to get the reroll cost.

[lethal stratus]

replace the prefix key with the joker name?

[unborn bay]

hi aikoyori

[daring fern]

You replace prefix with your mod prefix and key with speakerbox

[unborn bay]

we should add taiko to balatro

[heady siren]

With the patch from that now it just breaks after the Plasma Deck effect

[lethal stratus]

like that?

[sturdy compass]

Show the whole code really quick

Just making sure you put it in the right spot

[lethal stratus]

its literally just

its outside everything

[sturdy compass]

Ok good

[sturdy compass]

Oh please use a metadata json instead of a header

[heady siren]

I think the ----MOD CODE------ at the top concerned them

[heady siren]

I'm using a header ;~;

[sturdy compass]

You too

[lethal stratus]

why?

[sturdy compass]

It's outdated and is likely to get phased out at some point. It's also just faster with json

[lethal stratus]

well i need like a template or something

[daring fern]

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

[sturdy compass]

I just copied it

You're too fast

[heady siren]

Got that shit on LOCK

[gilded narwhal]

guys why does this not print a message

[sturdy compass]

card.ability.extra.activated is always getting set too late and causing the return to not go off at the right time

[gilded narwhal]

Is it like a context.after thing?

[sturdy compass]

No, it's because everything is being done in that event manager

[heady siren]

Functions are triggered after non-functions every time

So it's checking for the variable before it's set

[gilded narwhal]

I see

[heady siren]

I'd take everything out of the function except stuff inside the if played_card.set_ability then condition, so that everything is still timed properly

[heady siren]

Bump

Also, does card:is_suit() check for cards marked as no_suit and card:get_id() for no_rank for modded enhanced cards?

[desert ore]

ok uhh not sure where to place this since It might be a mod issue, I was just doing some playtesting, and for some reason I think every card to the right of blueprint is counted as a blueprint copy? midas mask wasn't working, castle wasn't working until I move it to the left of blueprint

[daring fern]

Yes.

[desert ore]

I have not messed with any blueprint code at all so idk what would cause this?

[desert ore]

oh thanks

yeah that makes sense

[hearty sun]

Does anyone know if there is a way to tell my LSP about the Smods types?
Could really help to have autocomplete + typings

[lethal stratus]

display doesn't work, can't figure out why because the functionality is working

[heady siren]

xmult not Xmult

[tall wharf]

i think both works

[lethal stratus]

it works

[tall wharf]

but like

the ability

[lethal stratus]

that wont fix the joker not updating

[heady siren]

The loc_vars doesn't actually modify anything

It's just the display

[tall wharf]

wdym not updating

[lethal stratus]

the display is frozen at X1

[tall wharf]

ohhhh

you have to change the first X1 to X#1#

[lethal stratus]

the first X1 is unchanging

[heady siren]

And it won't gain any xmult unless you add to the card.ability.extra.Xmult variable

[tall wharf]

and the currently to #2#

[paper zealot]

Should just be a matter of including the SMODS folder in your workspace. Can also do the same for Balatro source

[lethal stratus]

why?
thats a constant

i feel like making variables for constants is weird

[tall wharf]

it can change...

[lethal stratus]

the amount... the joker... gains?

[tall wharf]

i mean

not in normal situation

[lethal stratus]

ok fine oil lamp

[tall wharf]

Cryptid has a misprint deck what changes shit

[heady siren]

I'm going to point specifically to what the problem is

[hearty sun]

Okay, thanks!

[lethal stratus]

that is linked to that segment

[tall wharf]

then it will just stay like that

which pretty sure isn't what you wanted

[heady siren]

Xmult is set to 1, your joker is fetching the first value in the loc_vars table, and Xmult never changes

[tall wharf]

the array index starts at 1 in lua btw

[lethal stratus]

xmult changes here???

[heady siren]

That's a return table

[paper zealot]

If you don't want it to trawl through all the SMODS code, you can just specifically include the lsp_def folder, but having it all accessible in the same workspace is nicer imo

[heady siren]

That's giving you xmult, not setting it

[lethal stratus]

am i insane

does this not work how other languages do

[tall wharf]

you said the functionality works

the display doesn't work

[heady siren]

The return table is purely for giving you chips, mult, xmult, money, and showing messages / playing sound,s it is not for setting values, it literally will not set the value

[tall wharf]

try changing the currently part to have #2#

and just try

please

[lethal stratus]

aiko that literally

wont

change

anythijgnhj

[heady siren]

STAR

I will hop into a call with you to explain to you exactly what your problem is

Because you're not listening

[lethal stratus]

i literally had it like that before

😭

[tall wharf]

you have it at 1

???

[heady siren]

This isn't the problem

[lethal stratus]

BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE VARIABLE

YOU

[heady siren]

That would fix the problem on a surface level

[lethal stratus]

AWJKBDJAKSDAKJWDBAW

[heady siren]

But it wouldn't teach Star how to actually use it

[tall wharf]

loc vars has 2 variables

[unborn bay]

the hardest part about teaching someone how to code is teaching someone how to code

[tall wharf]

loc vars returns a table of 2 variables

[lethal stratus]

ive been coding for like 12 years

[heady siren]

Can everybody please be quiet so I can explain the problem?

Okay

[lethal stratus]

made xmult two and swapped cases

still no change

[heady siren]

Your card.ability.extra.xmult variable is set to 1, and you're not setting card.ability.extra.xmult, the return table is for actually applying stats, not for setting variables, so you're not setting the card.ability.extra.xmult to #G.jokers.cards, you're giving the xmult stat equal to #G.jokers.cards, that's what the return table does, and #1# didn't work because the card.ability.extra.xmult variable isn't being set, so it just remains at 1

If you wanted to fix it, you would put card.ability.extra.xmult = #G.jokers.cards into the context.joker_main condition, and then put xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult into your return table, and then your #1# variable will actually reflect your xmult variable

If you want it to be scaling, it would be card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + #G.jokers.cards

[tall wharf]

personally i don't think this make that much sense but i could be sleep deprived

[chrome widget]

What's the most effective way to search for only modded booster packs, without an SMODS.Boosters table?

[lethal stratus]

it scales based on the amount of jokers and decreases when you have less, so the base value of G.jokers.cards is fine

i hyperfixated on the mustard stain

my bad

[tall wharf]

i wonder if SMODS.Boosters has what you want

[chrome widget]

there isn't an SMODS.Boosters table, as far as I can see

[tall wharf]

ah

[heady siren]

Then the wording would be This joker gives X1 Mult not This joker gains X1 Mult

[desert ore]

so abstract joker but Xmult?

[tall wharf]

I'm definitely sleep deprived

[heady siren]

Gains implies scaling

[chrome widget]

It wouldn't be difficult to add one to SMODS, and put a PR for it, since it just means adding another pool declaration to the SMODS.Booster object

But I don't wanna do that

[heady siren]

Also you have a space on both sides of {} so there'd be two space between "X1" and "Mult"

[lethal stratus]

recent oopsie, fixed

[tall wharf]

why did you remove xmult from config

[heady siren]

You replaced xmult with mult in your config

[lethal stratus]

i didnt notice i did

people accidentally delete stuff all the time mr ? emote

[paper zealot]

The {X:} tag strips whitespace, it should be fine

[tall wharf]

😭

[lethal stratus]

proof that it actually broke

lmao

[heady siren]

Remove from one side not both

[lethal stratus]

i did :)

[heady siren]

Did you remove it from the start or the end?

[lethal stratus]

end

[heady siren]

Remove it from the start

[tall wharf]

there are more than one jokers in the slot right

[lethal stratus]

well this is in the collection

[gusty iron]

Saturday

[tall wharf]

finally got my new glasses on

[lethal stratus]

which is why that last part in loc variables exists at all

[gusty iron]

but its not saturday....

[heady siren]

You're not referencing #2# anywhere so it won't appear regardless

[lethal stratus]

saturday is the name of the main character in the rhythm game vivid stasis

[tall wharf]

i mean yeah

have you gone in the game yet

[lethal stratus]

a couple times

[gusty iron]

Ive heard alot about vivid.stasis alot

[lethal stratus]

play it :)

[gusty iron]

i havent bothered to try it though

[lethal stratus]

is free

[gusty iron]

maybe!!

I had the like

most stupidest idea for a joker

[lethal stratus]

how do i make it display 0 in the collection

that was the point of that second half so id rather do that then nothing

does the second half work by itself?

[heady siren]

No, because you don't reference #2#

[tall wharf]

i think yeah if you refer to #2#

[lethal stratus]

(if i delete the first half i mean)

[hasty mist]

i'm trying to make it so that instead of a single lua file, everything is split into multiple files, do the files have to be specific names or something? because they don't load ingame at all here

[tall wharf]

also you did 1 + to the loc vars

so it defaults to 1

because after + are 0 if you're not in game

[daring fern]

You have to manually load them.

[lethal stratus]

sorry for the brain aneurysm

[hasty mist]

i see

[lethal stratus]

now whats going on here

[tall wharf]

is it just me or I've been seeing a lot of trans people in here lately not that it's bad just something i noticed again

[lethal stratus]

hi

idk

probably not

[gusty iron]

Each round, play a microgame,
each successful win gains +5 Mult
after 4 losses, joker gets destroyed
(Currently +0 Mult)
(Lives Left: 4)

[hasty mist]

[tall wharf]

no stop

stop

stop

[hasty mist]

i love trans people

[gusty iron]

I HAVE TO

[tall wharf]

I'm adding rhythm game to balatro

I'm adding rhythm game to balatro

[gusty iron]

adofai or project:rusher plsss 🥺

[lethal stratus]

PLAY VIVID STASIS

:(

[lethal stratus]

?

[tall wharf]

do people actually like 4kvsrg

[heady siren]

Based

(I'm not biased)

[tall wharf]

What's the current code 😭😭😭😭

[gusty iron]

i dont understand that slew of letters 😭

[tall wharf]

i think you multiplied the thing by itself

[hasty mist]

def unbiased here totally i swear

[tall wharf]

just remove the second parts after the * in vars

[daring fern]

You're multiplying the xmult by itself.

[hearty sun]

Modders tends to be programmers, and (young) programmers tends to be trans (at an higher rate than the average)
I remember the survey for the Rust programming language showing something like 2 times the amount of queer people compared to the average

[gusty iron]

i NEED to make the warioware joker

[lethal stratus]

in my coding class, i met 9 trans people out of the 14 students

[unborn bay]

i am non binary and reaching the trans pipeline is this a sign

[lethal stratus]

and 2 of the non-trans students were gay lmao

[hasty mist]

i only started coding about 3 weeks ago

but ive been trans over a year

[tall wharf]

definitely

[gusty iron]

vro my keyboard is so old 😭

[lethal stratus]

i think its really embarassing that ive been coding for like 12 years and im still just as bad at writing my own damn code

[gusty iron]

my left shift key just like

hits everything on the bottom row if i hold it for too long

[heady siren]

I'm just used to lua because I'm been making Garry's Mod addons for half a decade

[lethal stratus]

i just started coding balatro a couple months ago, took a break because fuck lua, and im back ig
