[heady siren]

I have my own joker that debuffs an adjacent joker I could give you the code for

Try it, it probably will

If not joker_main then it'll be main_scoring

[old cairn]

dude that would be awesome

[heady siren]

These are the configs, and the two functions, it updates which joker is debuffed as you move the joker around

[placid star]

i genuinely cant find out why it doesnt want to work

but im going to sleep i cbf with this rn

[rustic swallow]

how do you override vanilla values again

nvm

why is there an unexpected symbol at 1511

[old cairn]

thanks for nudging me in the right direction! this is what ended up working
-# (though it did make me realize that now i have to handle having more than one of this joker 😅)
but thanks for your help :3

[chrome widget]

Is there a specific function that handles when the application is put into focus?

[heady siren]

Am glad it worked

Gonna bump again

[red flower]

looking through the code G.FUNCS.use_card specifically looks for G.consumeables to know if the card is not from the pack

[heady siren]

Should I patch that to include my own cardarea?

[red flower]

yeah

[rapid stag]

bump

[red flower]

ok the code for that 1 line long lol

[high sinew]

for using VS Code for Lua is there a way I can set up ---@param to see how everything is returning

[red flower]

--@return

also i don't think those types are correct at all

self is SMODS.Center, card is Card and context is CalcContext

[eager pendant]

Can you tell me how to add ignore slots consumable?

[wind steppe]

does anyone know why my game crashes? i've been trying to make this joker and it says there's an unexpected symbol near one of the ifs

SMODS.Joker{ -- Yellow Card implementation
    key = 'Yellow Card',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Yellow Card',
        text = {

                card.ability.extra.pack_amount = card.ability.extra.pack_require
                card.ability.extra.money = card.ability.extra.money + card.ability.extra.money_gain
                return {

        end
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card) -- Apparently money isn't in the calculate function. Who knew?
        return card.ability.extra.money
    end
}

[high sinew]

is there a list somewhere so I know the right ones>

[red flower]

nope, you have to look in the lsp files

[high sinew]

ok bet

[red flower]

unless you mean for the lsp as a whole in that case just google lua lsp

[red flower]

the comma before card.ability.extra.pack_amount == 0

[high sinew]

I mean for like seeing if my jokers return the thing it should

see how its unkown

is it on documentation for lua somewhere?

[red flower]

its not easy to add those to the extra tables sadly as those are variable for every joker

the docs are here https://luals.github.io/

[high sinew]

clutch!

ik not easy i just wanna know how to do

[heady siren]

I'm getting this any time I try to start a run, the only thing I've added is my vouchers, which don't even have redeem code yet

[wind steppe]

that worked but where it should be showing pack_amount it shows nil

[red flower]

loc_vars says card.ability.pack_amount instead of card.ability.extra.pack_amount

[red flower]

requires should be a table i think

[heady siren]

That worked

[high sinew]

if i have smods download with work space with it see the input of the src files already present?

or still need to make it

[red flower]

you should get the lsp definitions yes

[high sinew]

oh ok

so it being unkown why is that then?

[iron haven]

so Y still doesn't give you mult.

[high sinew]

ik VS doesnt know lua but i thought the extension with folder gives it output

[iron haven]

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'yankee',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Y',
        text = {

                if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 2 then
                    context.scoring_hand[i]:remove()
                    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 3

        return {

            card = card
        }
        end
    end
end
}```
what is wrong with this?

I know it doesn't give you mult but where in the code is it?

hm

[red flower]

because the extra tables are not defined as they vary from joker to joker like i said

[high sinew]

ah ok

so it is best to define in files or just make a types file for joker

[gilded narwhal]

gang for making new global variables similar to all the G.GAME stuff how would you recommend doing it

[iron haven]

hmmm

[high sinew]

what is the error

[iron haven]

the logic error is that Y doesn't give you mult.

[red flower]

I recommend using your mod's prefix so it doesn't cause conflicts but aside from that just put it in G.GAME directly when you need it

[high sinew]

can you send the debug error?

That balatro gives

[iron haven]

It's a logic error not a real error.

[high sinew]

unsure then test in game sorry

[iron haven]

yeah Y doesn't give you the mult that it stored.

[hasty mist]

i'm trying to apply an edition to a selected consumable, this doesn't seem to work properly

i'm not sure what's wrong

[heady siren]

Does SMODS add a consumeable_rate for each modded consumeable?

[iron haven]

    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            card = card
        }
        end
    end
``` I think it is this.

[heady siren]

You have an extra end

Returns don't have ends

[soft echo]

how does one add an enhancement to a playing card?

[iron haven]

sorry this is the code

if context.joker_main then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            card = card
        }
        end```

oh it isn't in the calculate function.

[heady siren]

That would be the problem

[soft echo]

having a hard time finding it in the documentation

[eager pendant]

Can you tell me how to add ignore slots consumable?

[heady siren]

look for set_ability in the game files

[soft echo]

oh wait i meant edition

[iron haven]

Still doesn't give you mult if I put it in the calculate function.

SMODS.Joker{

what is causing the logic error?

[eager pendant]

No

[heady siren]

Where did you get this information?

[eager pendant]

Just creates planet and tarot cards, but if there is a location, I'd like the number of locations to be ignored

[hasty mist]

bump

[iron haven]

hmmmm

[eager pendant]

I can send you the code

[heady siren]

What's the code?

[red flower]

did you reply to the wrong message?

[eager pendant]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before then
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = #G.consumeables.cards
end
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.seal == 'Blue' and G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
local card_type = 'Planet'
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = (function()
if G.GAME.last_hand_played then
local _planet = 0
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet) do
if v.config.hand_type == G.GAME.last_hand_played then
_planet = v.key

local card = create_card(card_type,G.consumeables, nil, nil, nil, nil, _planet, 'blusl')
card:add_to_deck()
G.consumeables:emplace(card)

return true
end)}))
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
elseif context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card.seal == 'Purple' and G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then

card:add_to_deck()
G.consumeables:emplace(card)
return true
end)}))
G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
end
end

[heady siren]

Do you even know what question I asked?

[heady siren]

I ended up patching in a default value and a check in the create_card_for_shop function

[eager pendant]

I'd prefer to get an answer to the question of how to ignore the slots of the unmodifiable

[iron haven]

I'm just wondering what in my code is causing the logic error in Y.

[heady siren]

That's not what you responded "No" to, I asked a question, you gave me an answer, I asked how you got to that answer, and you sent me code for something completely unrelated

[hasty mist]

i think my problem lies in this section of my code, this seems to be able to apply an edition to a selected playing card, but when i try to modify this code to let me select a consumable instead, it lets me select it, but when used, it doesn't apply the edition

[eager pendant]

Okay, then I don't know the answer to that question.

[heady siren]

Then why did you answer it?

[heady siren]

You're looking at highlighted cards in G.hand not G.consumeables, unless that's what you modified to make it work

[hasty mist]

replacing them with G.consumeables breaks it, making it usable without selecting anything

[heady siren]

It looks like there's no references to G.consumeables.highlighted in the base game code so it might not even have functionality for that

[red flower]

it should

i think the problem is that you can only highlight 1 so it's only usable on itself

[hasty mist]

i think i know how to fix that, let me do some testing

[dense adder]

is there a good function to remove or destroys a card after it scores, coming up short using :remove() and :start_dissolve()
code if it helps

if context.other_card.ability.extra.cb_trigger == true then
              card.ability.extra.totalChipMult = card.ability.extra.totalChipMult + card.ability.extra.gainChipMult
              card.ability.extra.flag = true
              local _card = context.other_card
              return{ 
                message = 'Crumble',
                colour = G.C.FILTER,
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = .45,func = function()
                          _card:start_dissolve()
                          return true end}))
              }
          end

[red flower]

yeah don't remove cards using those during scoring. use context.destroy_card and return { remove = true }

[iron haven]

hey guys?

you do also don't know where the logic error is too?

[hasty mist]

this seems to allow me to select playing cards and consumables, edition can apply on playing cards but when i use it on a consumable it does nothing

[heady siren]

Your if context.joker_main then is inside your if context.before then statement, move one of the ends to be before the if context.joker_main then line

[heady siren]

You need to keep track of your ends in the same way you keep track of closing brackets in tables

[sturdy compass]

Like Kaeda said, you are missing an end

[red flower]

unless you changed it your use function is only iterating through cards highlighted in hand

[iron haven]

oh

here?

[heady siren]

Your indentation makes it hard to notice

Yes, and then remove the very last end in the code

[iron haven]

ok.

[hasty mist]

alright, it works now for the most part, but i can still highlight playing cards, how do i prevent this?

[lucid owl]

this blind score is crashing when the blind is selected, what am i doing wrong? i want to make the most played hand not score

[lucid owl]

nevermind lol

[dense adder]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and not context.blueprint then
this will not trigger no matter where i put context.destroy_card

[red flower]

remove context.individual

[dense adder]

that conflict does it, well i need it to get context.other_card but i know a workaround, thank you for the help

[lucid owl]

okay, what am i (still) doing wrong here?

[red flower]

context.destroy_card is the equivalent of context.other_card in that context
also i wasn't telling you to replace your entire logic, you can just use individual for your main effect and destroy_card to destroy

[red flower]

what's hand

[lucid owl]

this is the blind code, hand seems to always be a table of poker hands ("poker_hands")

[dense adder]

thank you very much, did not know destroy_card was that usefull, its now working and i can stop for the night

[lucid owl]

the crash is happening whenever a card is selected

so i assume the actual variable is going through? but for some reason it's not being treated correctly in the table

[hasty mist]

bump

[lucid owl]

yeah

[sleek siren]

Is there a way to make a certain set of jokers have a much better chance of appearing?

[lucid owl]

but when a card is selected, it seems to think poker_hands is empty?

[iron haven]

How do I make it so that the mult is squared?

[red flower]

a rarity

[lucid owl]

i think this might be the issue? i have no clue why, though

[sleek siren]

Oh! ok ^^

Is there a way I can change the rarity values when a deck is selected or a voucher is gained?

[hasty mist]

is there a way to change a specific card's atlas only if it has a certain edition

[iron haven]

like what is code for it.

[hasty mist]

if you have talisman i believe you can use emult

[red flower]

maybe im too sleepy but i think this is looking for a string instead of a table

i know the docs say it should be a table

[iron haven]

this work?

[lucid owl]

i don't think so, this is the crash

[red flower]

yeah but it's because hand[table] is always nil

hand["High Card"] is not

[daring fern]

Do you have talisman?

[lucid owl]

ohhh, that makes sense

let me try it

[iron haven]

is talisman a mod?

[lucid owl]

so wait, would i set that as another variable of hand?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

although I think smods overrides that function so it's weird the error is there

[red flower]

hand = string instead of hand = { string = true }

[lucid owl]

the override doesn't change that function

[iron haven]

oh it isn't in my mods list.

[daring fern]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Talisman

[gilded narwhal]

hey why does this patch not do the thing I want it to (legendaries should spawn in shop if the config is enabled)

[lucid owl]

this let me select a hand without crashing, but isn't debuffing which is annoying. still progress though

[iron haven]

?

[lucid owl]

oh, it works! i just did it wrong

[iron haven]

uh

[lucid owl]

apparently when it's set to "high card" (the default) no hands are allowed to be played lmao. shouldn't be an issue given that this is meant to be a showdown, so eh

[iron haven]

why doesn't Talisman work?

this line?

[daring fern]

No, it’s in steamodded_metadata.lua

[iron haven]

oh this line?

hmm

of course it is on the last joker...

Talisman?

What is wrong?

...

I have no idea.

[brisk rose]

Someone who was playing vanilla is trying to recover the seed for their naninf run. They're posting in modding chat, but I figure active mod coders are more likely to be able to help

[iron haven]

why is it on that line?

uh.

@daring fern what is wrong?

[daring fern]

Try getting this version of steamodded: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[iron haven]

and now my jokers don't show.

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[iron haven]

The mods button is missing!.

[daring fern]

Did you Install it right?

[iron haven]

I put it in the Mods folder.

[daring fern]

Did you replace it or did you delete it and put in the new one?

[iron haven]

delete the old

and put the new one in.

hm

uhhhh

[daring fern]

What does your mod folder look like?

[daring fern]

Did you rename the smods folder?

[iron haven]

yeah.

[rough furnace]

smods doesn't care what it's named

whats inside the smods folder?

[rough furnace]

can I see the breadcrumbs on top?

[iron haven]

?

[brisk rose]

Thar's your problem

It's nested

[iron haven]

ok

[brisk rose]

Copy smods-main to the root of Mods and delete Steamodded

Or resolve it a different equivalent way

[iron haven]

now I have the Talisman error now

[rough furnace]

talisman is nested too

[brisk rose]

(@daring fern why the pondering react?)

[brisk rose]

Keep in mind that unlike smods, Talisman's folder needs to be named exactly Talisman

[iron haven]

ok but now Z isn't in my collection.

[daring fern]

What was the code for that again?

[iron haven]

oh nvm.

ok Z works now.

[hoary crown]

how do generate money when consumable use

[rough furnace]

ease_dollars

[heady siren]

I got colored text to work with my buff cards [=

Through a really hacky method of making my own color tables and using conditions inside the colours table

[hoary crown]

what do i put after it

[heady siren]

The amount you want to give or remove from the player

Somethingcom is thinking up a storm right now

[hoary crown]

lmao

so just..

ease_dollars 5

[heady siren]

ease_dollars(5)

It's a function

[hoary crown]

ok

[sturdy compass]

This is so scuffed 😭

But hey it works so who am I to judge

[heady siren]

Now I just gotta find a unique held in hand color, any suggestions?

Scored is blue, discarded is red, in deck is green

[iron haven]

RGB.

[frosty rampart]

vanilla jokers use the standard orange-yellow "attention" color for that, but if you want a new color i'd probably lean towards a light purple (since you aren't scoring or discarding it)

[iron haven]

what about magenta?

[heady siren]

I'll make it purple, since that's a color already in the game

[kindred basin]

yo people of modding chat
that someone in question is me

where is the seed of the current run stored in the game files?

basically I scored naninf
I closed out of the game
I reopened the game later to finish the run
hitting continue on the run instantly crashes the game

results in this screen

if someone in here knows how to get the seed of the run would be appreciated thanks

[daring fern]

It's in save.jkr

Use this to look in it: https://balatro.shorty.systems/

[kindred basin]

I do have balatro save editor installed

[heady siren]

Actually, I'll make it the same color as the icon, Troubadour red [=

[kindred basin]

couldn't figure out how to find the seed

that is helpful tho thanks

[daring fern]

You have to go to Raw and CTRL + F 'seed'

[kindred basin]

how do u view the save.jkr file in balatrosaveeditor?

[daring fern]

You go to %APPDATA%/Balatro select the number according to the profile your on, then drag the save.jkr file to where it says Choose File... or Browse... then go to Raw and CTRL + F 'seed'

[kindred basin]

im on windows
I went to C: -> users -> me -> AppData -> Roaming -> Balatro -> 1 -> save.jkr

dragged and dropped that there

and got that

that is the right file right?

[daring fern]

It should be, so maybe your save is corrupt?

[kindred basin]

fuuuuuuuuuuuc

does scoring infinity straight up corrupt the entire save file?

I mean I should be able to start a new run pretty sure

[daring fern]

No, It shouldn't.

[kindred basin]

I just haven't yet bc I aint tryna lose the seed of this current one

okay so basically im cooked lol

I don't need the seed it would just be kinda nice to have

thanks tho

but yea dropping profile.jkr in there works

save.jkr is just not working at all

[daring fern]

The line you were crashing on was trying to check if you beat the round so maybe it was a problem with infinity?

[kindred basin]

i mean yea it looks like it

trying to do math or not a number makes computer not happy

[heady siren]

It now includes the rarity of the card as if it's a joker

[celest aspen]

anyone know how the Loyalty cards description works? It changes to "Active!" when the number of cards needed to activate reaches 0. I tried to reuse the Loyalty Cards code, adapting it to my code, but it just says ERROR.

[daring fern]

That's because your trying to localize something that doesn't exist.

[celest aspen]

Is there a way to do it via SMODS?

[brisk rose]

How do these cards work again?

Like where do they live?

[heady siren]

They have their own card area that processes cards after scoring cards but before jokers

Also I made it so that their max is 4, the level 2 voucher gives you 4 slots, and there's a joker that gives you 4 more slots, so you can have 12 total

[brisk rose]

Ngl as cool as they are I'm not sure, as a whole new mechanic with s new card area, they'd really fit in well in my entire modpack

[heady siren]

You can just not take buff cards

[brisk rose]

Well yeah ofc, though you should probably make a config so they don't clutter he shop in the case. I'm definitely interested in your mod generally

[heady siren]

They don't cover any cards in the shop, at least not enough to make the shop hard to use

I could make a setting to always compress them in shops

Like they do when selecting a blind

[brisk rose]

I meant that if I'm not taking them I may as well not be offered them

[heady siren]

Oh

I should probably just do that for all features honestly

Like some mods do, you can pick and choose what's added

[brisk rose]

Yeah, modularity is always a good thing imo

[sturdy compass]

Can agree

[heady siren]

You can just slap SMOD object definitions into if statements right?

[sturdy compass]

Yep!

[heady siren]

I just need to figure out an actually good menu for it /=

[brisk rose]

Yoink the ui code from another mod

[heady siren]

I refuse to do so unless it is offered to me

[sturdy compass]

Utilize mod.config_tab!

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions#modconfig_tab

[heady siren]

I already am for my music toggle

[brisk rose]

I mean... many mods are explicitly gpl 3

[sturdy compass]

Then you can piggy back off of that easy peasy

[heady siren]

I mean like, what types of UI elements to use, should I use a card area for jokers?

[brisk rose]

For the config?

That would be strange if possible

[heady siren]

I've seen it done before

[sturdy compass]

fascinating

[brisk rose]

I have too come to think of it. Though for smth as granular as individual jokers maybe just recommend "banner"

[shell timber]

that's what cryptid does, right(?)

you can click on jokers in the collection to change if they're banned

[brisk rose]

Does it just bundle itself with cg's mod?

Because that's how it works

Afaik

[sturdy compass]

I honestly just leave it to users to comment them out within the code if they want to get rid of 'em

[brisk rose]

Meant Sylvi

Apparently cg is just a contributor

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1352154849579630592

[sturdy compass]

That looks like a great mod

[brisk rose]

Yeah, I need to add it to my modpack and make use of it

First off to get rid of the stupid Bunco polyminos

[shell timber]

yeah that was the one part of bunco i didnt like tbh

[heady siren]

If I put code in the SMODS.current_mod.config_tab function will it only run when the tab is opened?

[sturdy compass]

I think so?

I think it runs it on open not while open

[brisk rose]

And yes I can make the bannings apply to people who download my modpack too, with yosbr. Though only if they don't already have a config for banner

Unless it stores the config in the Mods folder instead of the config folder, in which case I could still do that and it would overwrite every time

[sturdy compass]

Might be worth investigating

[daring fern]

Is there a way to retrigger without returning?

[sturdy compass]

Maybe SMODS.calculate_context? Not sure if it handles retriggers

Hmm looks like it does not

What are you trying to do that would require that?

[daring fern]

Multiple seals?

[sturdy compass]

oh goodness

[brisk rose]

So... random uh... I guess it's a question. I'd guess you'd call smodded's approach more or less object oriented... what would you call the base game?

It seems to be very random and often inverted as to what polls what from what I'd expect

[sturdy compass]

I think it would be object oriented in base game too, as stuff like cards and blinds do act like objects with their own properties, functions, initializations etc.

[brisk rose]

Yeah, jokers and enhancements and stuff just get really weird

Lots of branching conditionals

And properties defined in random functions

[sturdy compass]

It definitely could've been handled a bit better lol

Then again, Balatro is a personal project

[brisk rose]

Yeah I guess it makes sense that modularity is a hallmark of a modding system, but much less so a 1 person indie game

[sturdy compass]

for sure

[shell timber]

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = -1

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '''=[SMODS Mossed "mossed.lua"]'''

end"""
overwrite = true
match_indent = true

is this how crossmod patches work again (it's not working)

[daring fern]

I think Mossed should be lowercase.

[shell timber]

no but JokerDisplay works

oh what mossed worked

[daring fern]

Yes, that's because that's the id, the id for mossed is mossed

[shell timber]

ah

[heady siren]

It begins

[tall wharf]

what the fuck

[heady siren]

Why am I able to make hard things but the second I need to make simple things my brain dies?

[native zinc]

you expect yourself to do the easy things so you put pressure on yourself to make them faster

then you do worse work 🫠

[heady siren]

It is now possible to set the jokers to be disabled by the configs, which makes them greyed in the menu and that's it right now but later it'll actually remove them from pools and stuff

Also nice little particles [=

[zealous glen]

@shell tangle

[heady siren]

Was that the right someone?

I even made it so that if the card is disabled it won't even show up in the collection

Though it requires a restart

[iron haven]

um. guys?

I can't play cards.

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[iron haven]

or click on one.

[daring fern]

Set Talisman to omeganum

[iron haven]

still nothing.

oh now I can.

[eager pendant]

Could you please tell me how to implement e_mult without cryptid mod?

[daring fern]

You need Talisman

[eager pendant]

Okay, what's next, or is he gonna do it for me? 😀

[daring fern]

If you have talisman you just return e_mult = number

[eager pendant]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

[eager pendant]

And without additional mods how to realize it

[manic rune]

what do i need to do if i want to increase the money cap of The Hermit 🤔

do i take its ownership and use set_ability?

[daring fern]

You can't retrigger other playing cards from a playing card.

I think.

[heady siren]

Unless you have a hidden external joker that retriggers them itself [=

[plain apex]

is that a thing i can do without people then just getting it in the shop or whatever?

[manic rune]

how do i check whenever the hermit spawns in?

that includes tarot pack, shop, and such

[plain apex]

the idea if someones got a better idea for what it should do to playing cards

[daring fern]

Technically, what familiar does with maroon seals is it rescores the leftmost card.

[manic rune]

hmg

guess no one has the answer

and i havent figured out a way to do it effectively yet, hmmm

[daring fern]

Couldn't you patch where hermit checks if its over the limit?

[manic rune]

...do i really need to use a patch for that one, but that does sound good

[slender island]

why it doesnt show name and description?

[manic rune]

🥀

[manic rune]

how you r using the localization file is wrong

[slender island]

how

[manic rune]

it should be j_(mod prefix)_(joker key)

[daring fern]

You either have to overwrite calculate or you patch it.

[manic rune]

this part

[manic rune]

likely patching then, since only overwriting calculate wont change the cap shown on the card's description 😭

[eager pendant]

What are the other parameters in talisman besides e_mult and what do they mean?

[zealous glen]

What for

[daring fern]

emult, eemult, eeemult and hypermult

[manic rune]

changing its config

[daring fern]

emult is ^, eemult is ^^, eeemult is ^^^ and hypermult is any number of arrows.

[eager pendant]

Thanks, but I take it e_chips is not?

[shell timber]

the same ones exist for chips too

[eager pendant]

Thank you.

[shell timber]

so if you wanted My Awesome Joker that gives ^^^4 chips you would return eeechips = 4

[daring fern]

echips, eechips, eeechips and hyperchips respectively.

[eager pendant]

Roger that, thank you very much, I've only started doing this a week ago, I don't understand much yet, but which parameter in Joker is responsible for adding slots for using materials?

[manic rune]

i just realized, changing the config of the center itself definitely works, but it wont change already-existing hermits, so maybe not

[bold gyro]

I just made a patch for an "edition gate" for a Joker. How would I check that the Joker only spawns if there is a playing card with a specific edition in the deck?

[manic rune]

decided to just patch in this small line, hopefully wont cause any conflicts

[eager pendant]

Roger that, thank you very much, I've only started doing this a week ago, I don't understand much yet, but which parameter in Joker is responsible for adding slots for using materials?

[zealous glen]

You don’t need to know when it is created to change its config

[shell timber]

uh

[zealous glen]

Just change the config

[shell timber]

consumeable slots? joker slots?

[zealous glen]

Then also change existing Hermits

Future hermits should inherit the new value

I think

[manic rune]

thats true

[zealous glen]

Just keep in mind the old config will be reset when the game is loaded

[eager pendant]

Consumeable

[zealous glen]

So you’ll need to reup every existing Hermit

[shell timber]

there isn't a parameter that i remember, you'll have to use add_to_deck and remove_from_deck

[manic rune]

but this raises the issue of me having to go through every cardarea to check for The Hermit and change their value, right?

[shell timber]

like this lua add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff) G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit + card.ability.extra end, remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff) G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit - card.ability.extra end

[manic rune]

oh actually, does SMODS.find_card hlp with tit

[zealous glen]

Well, Shop and Consumables

[manic rune]

tarot packs too

[zealous glen]

It finds them in Consumables

[manic rune]

crap

[zealous glen]

I don’t think you can save inside a pack

[unborn bay]

you can actually

though it does it before you open the pack

[zealous glen]

That’s what I said

[unborn bay]

what if that isn't what you said

[zealous glen]

What if what you said was what I would have said if what I said was what you would have said I would have said if what you said was what I had said

[manic rune]

what is this cardarea called again, i forgot

[wintry solar]

G.pack_cards iirc

[manic rune]

thanks :p

i fucked up somewhere, but uh, progress

NICE

[cobalt surge]

The cooking goes crazy

[manic rune]

it changes all existing cards too, which is nice

[cobalt surge]

Progress tho

[manic rune]

true

[eager pendant]

What's the difference emult e_mult E_mult emult?

[manic rune]

none

its like xmult, x_mult

just different namings

[daring heron]

how do i fix this

im just tryna play modded balatro smh 😔

[manic rune]

thats likely beacuse the mod's missing something

[daring heron]

yeah, but i can't find what it's missing

[eager pendant]

What's the difference emult, e_mult, E_mult, emult?

[cyan lagoon]

why does this crash the game?

[placid star]

does anyone know if consumables can return +mult?

[daring fern]

You can't use them during scoring?

[rapid stag]

i have a suspicion, but i want to see the error it creates to make sure

[manic rune]

i already answered

😭

[manic rune]

^

[daring fern]

Try using card not center

[manic rune]

whats the code

[placid star]

ive tried to use a calculate function with context.post_joker but it doesnt return anything

[rapid stag]

this is in loc_vars(), you have to access extra via center because that's whats passed in

[daring fern]

No?

[manic rune]

nope

even in loc vars, its still called card

but the naming shouldnt matter

[rapid stag]

oh, derp

[daring fern]

Do you want it to give mult when it is held?

[manic rune]

my theory is that how they set up config = {extra = ...} is wrong

[placid star]

pretty much yeah

[rapid stag]

that's what i was about to say, yeah. i want to see their config table

[manic rune]

or that the joker existed in the run without the config table

[rapid stag]

oh right, it might be a load save test

[manic rune]

mhm

[rapid stag]

does testing with a fresh instantiation of the joker still cause the crash?

[manic rune]

you should show us how you set up your config if it still does

[daring fern]

The consumables trigger in context.joker_main

[cyan lagoon]

config = { extra = { values } },

[manic rune]

-# i meant the one thats inside your joker's code

[cyan lagoon]

it's the same there

[manic rune]

did you try starting a new run?

[cyan lagoon]

that's how i did config everywhere

[cyan lagoon]

this happens in the menu when i hover over the joker

[manic rune]

i see

weird, everything looks right

my only theory is that config is set up incorrectly, but since you claim it to be correct then i dunno whats wrong

[cyan lagoon]

it works just fine if i use G.P_CENTERS.j_key

but that includes info_queue of the joker i put into that info_queue

[rapid stag]

wasn't there a fake_card argument you could use for this purpose

i forget what the thing was

[placid star]

that isnt wanting to work...

[daring fern]

Where are you putting it?

[placid star]

in a calcaulate function

[wintry solar]

Show code

[daring fern]

In the consumable?

[placid star]

yeah

[wintry solar]

Does lua handle ^?

[placid star]

yeah i searched and it does

it works in a joker aswell

but just not in a consumeables

[faint yacht]

My Tom Scott Joker uses ^ too.

local curxmult = card.ability.extra.basexmult ^ toga_calccopiesofself(card.config.center.key)
is better than screenshot, oop.

[wintry solar]

Is the consumable in the normal area?

[placid star]

custom area

oh shit

[daring fern]

You need to patch it in to the joker calculation areas.

[wintry solar]

That would be why 😂

[placid star]

fuckk

yeah that would help

how would one add a patcj for that?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/58749c3f350bbf101e0167e19bf072008c6119ea/lovely/zones.toml#L105

[cyan lagoon]

how do i make this affect jokers with a specific key?

[red flower]

context.other_card.config.center.key == "key"

[cyan lagoon]

can i make like a table of jokers and plug it in there somehow?

[red flower]

you can iterate through the list and return if any matches the key

[placid star]

now this... ive only got a main.lua file so having more files is new :/

[unborn bay]

a reminder that eventually in your balala modding life you eventually have to embrace the lovely patch

[placid star]

NO DONT SCARE ME LALALALA I ONLY NEED A MAIN.LUA FILE LALALALALA

[red flower]

this is one of the cases where there is no practical alternative

[eager pendant]

How to make Joker pro availability add +2 slots Consumables?

[placid star]

is it hard to use .toml files? or is it just a case of copying code and boom

[red flower]

you can just copy the manifest at the top and the patch i linked you and just replace my area with yours

[rapid stag]

yeah, .tomls are basically just a bunch of little wrappers that you stick lua in. mini injectors

[placid star]

do i have to call them in my main.lua file?

[red flower]

no

it needs to either be called "lovely.toml" and be in the root folder or be in a "lovely" folder

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector#patches

[eager pendant]

How to make Joker pro availability add +2 slots Consumables?

[red flower]

you gain 2 slots when obtained?

[red flower]

if yes then

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit + 2
end

and do the opposite in remove_from_deck

[placid star]

so what would i put here? since i noticed your code in general is a little more advanced than mine

[eager pendant]

What better place in the joker to write this?

[red flower]

you can just do table.insert(t, your_area)

[red flower]

I don't understand what you mean

[placid star]

so if then table.insert(t, domain)?

[red flower]

G.domain but yes

oh wait no

without the if

table.insert(t,G.domain)

[placid star]

so like this?

[red flower]

yeah

[placid star]

that seems... to simple...

[red flower]

it is

the TARGET comment is literally to make it simple

[placid star]

so what does your code do? since yours contains a if statement

[red flower]

if the mod has conflicts and smods disables it it doesn't disable the lovely patches (contrary to disabling it manually) so I do a check so the game doesn't crash in that case

but it doesnt really matter

also JoyousSpring.field_spell_area is an alias for G.joy_field_spell_area

[heady siren]

Here's the code for this by the way, I just yoinked some of the base game collection code and shoved in my own jokers

[daring fern]

So you could ban them with banner or disable them on the same page?

[heady siren]

The aether_jokers table just separates my jokers by rarity without the j_prefix_ part

[heady siren]

I have no idea how this would interact with banner

[daring fern]

You set collection = true

[heady siren]

If it works with it then it works with it, but won't require it

Disabling a joker just removes it from the spawn pool and collection

[zealous glen]

isn’t banner the discard joker

[heady siren]

Only adds to the inside joke that every QoL mod is named after an object in the game [=

Even Handy is named after the tag

[glad osprey]

still upset @scarlet thorn won't name better tags diet cola

[zealous glen]

Oh it’s a mod too

I hadn’t hear of it

[glad osprey]

seriously such a missed opportunity 😔

[heady siren]

I just need better names for my jokers because I sucks at naming things period

[placid star]

is there a way to detect when Xmult scores?

[daring fern]

Try looking at Exponentia from Cryptid

[scarlet thorn]

Shitty name

[glad osprey]

nuh uh

perfect name

[manic rune]

i agree with squid

[cyan lagoon]

how do i make custom rules for challenges?

[daring fern]

Is there a way to prevent playing cards from being destroyed?

[wet sand]

i think names should at least attempt to be descriptive in some way shape or form for a mod and naming them after cards doesnt really do that

[native zinc]

:P

[wet sand]

my cool new mod 8 of Hearts. it adds 2 quintillion jokers and none of them are worth your time

[native zinc]

here's a reference

straight from my mod

[shell timber]

talisman is a descriptive name because it is cursed and breaks several mods

[native zinc]

go wild i guess

[native zinc]

this should be uncommon

maybe

i don't actually know

hm

[thin anchor]

would this be correct for a consumable

[daring fern]

Do you have a can_use function?

[thin anchor]

no

[daring fern]

You need that.

[thin anchor]

mm ok

[brisk rose]

I mean.... most content mods are gonna have "proper nouns" as names regardless and not be "descriptive"

it's one thing if you're talking about qol mods, a complete nother with content mods

but I personally like quirky mod names even then like Malverk and Galdur, for instance

0 descriptiveness, but unique and memorable

And that's it when it comes down to it, I think Diet Cola actually would be a far more memorable name than Better tags or whatever it's called

but if the dev doesn't like it then fair

[glad osprey]

this is every hand right

[shell timber]

oh that's nice

yeah there's 12 hands

[glad osprey]

are all of them recognizable

[shell timber]

highcard, pair, 3oak, 4oak, 5oak, flush 5
two pair, full house, flush house, sflush(?), straight(?), uh

those are probably wrong

i like the idea though

[glad osprey]

flush straight straight flush

[thin anchor]

ok so how would i list the chance of the effect happening (the 1 in 3) correctly
what i mean is that i want the 1 to be 2 if you have oops all sixes

[glad osprey]

#2#

[thin anchor]

oh

[glad osprey]

thats how you use loc_vars in text

[hard needle]

i don't think there are tags for the hidden hands

[glad osprey]

im not making tags

is for rougelite

[thin anchor]

for some reason this triggers like everytime
am i ungodily lucky or is this broken???

[hard needle]

em

[thin anchor]

em

[glad osprey]

you may be lucky

[hard needle]

it should be config={extra={odds=3,mult=15}}

[glad osprey]

i dont see any issue but

[glad osprey]

yea generally you should put odds in extra but that wouldnt cause an issue

[hard needle]

oh shoot

[thin anchor]

hmhnhmh

[hard needle]

💀 i just automatically assumed they were using extra what is wrong with me

[thin anchor]

its an enhancement

if you didnt see

[hushed field]

1/3 is such high odds that you'll definitely get strings of luck that may seem buggy

[hard needle]

make it like

1 in 289-4353490583094583049-5834095809485 0957645t89y5u4 or something

and then maek it 1 in 1

to make sure it works

[thin anchor]

very goog odds

more rare than cavendish dying!

[glad osprey]

evil fucked up double tag

[shell timber]

Half Tag

[glad osprey]

starts run with one double tag

[zealous glen]

Grurple

[thin anchor]

ok lets see

[glad osprey]

oh wait

i see the issue

you set the cards base mult

so it will always be 15 mult

and then when you hit that chance itll happen again

[thin anchor]

oh.

[glad osprey]

so yea do config.extra.mult

[thin anchor]

this?

[glad osprey]

yea

[thin anchor]

[placid star]

what would be the G.P_CENTERS for a custom seal?

[daring fern]

G.P_SEALS

[thin anchor]

it crashes and displays odds as "nil"

[quartz ravine]

Does someone have an example of setting the flavor text for a booster pack? In my store, when I open my custom packs, they say 'error'

[glad osprey]

card.ability.extra

[placid star]

is it not centers in loc vars?

[thin anchor]

i can be very mad at myself for not knowing such simple things

[red flower]

no, it's card
self is a center

[hushed field]

you use the group key and define it in dictionary

[glad osprey]

starting hand and discard

[hushed field]

what are you working on squid?

[hushed field]

😊

you're changing balatro from a like into a lite?

[glad osprey]

yes

[hushed field]

oh, what are you changing?

[quartz ravine]

Thanks Ice! BTW i love your booster packs for Ash blossom. You nailed it!

[glad osprey]

perks that apply for the entire run

that you unlock outside of runs

[hushed field]

thanks! They're mostly traced 😛

I wanna make more at some point, so that they don't share art between mega and jumbo

but yugioh designs are complex

[quartz ravine]

BTW how does the linkage work?

I've got a booster like this

SMODS.Booster({
    object_type = "Booster",
    key = "RarityCollection",

How would I add that in the localiztion file?

[glad osprey]

• hand size :D

[hushed field]

the word that gets put there is based on the group_key!

[quartz ravine]

Did you see the Yugioh one my wife made for my mod? it swaps between kid and grown-up Yugi if you play the right hand to activate the 'heart of the cards'

[thin anchor]

make a purple one

i love purple

[hushed field]

definitely didn't, but I'd love to seei t

[glad osprey]

consumable slots...

[thin anchor]

urbl

[quartz ravine]

Sorry @hushed field , this is what I was trying to rectify!

This Error text

[hushed field]

yeah, that's done by setting localization for the group_key, which you'll wanna define on a booster pack

[glad osprey]

what colour are legendary jokers

[quartz ravine]

ohhhh I was doing it by the booster key, not the group key!

[hushed field]

booster key is for the individual tooltips

[hushed field]

the groupkey is for this part of the ui

[red flower]

maybe pink is a good replacement

[glad osprey]

start run with a legendary joker

takes up all five perk slots

[quartz ravine]

Thanks Ice!!

[glad osprey]

what the fuck did you do

[quartz ravine]

Fixed an error!

[hushed field]

reloaded a save probably

[glad osprey]

...okay

[quartz ravine]

oh god wtf

[hushed field]

base balatro can already have that bug, haha

[glad osprey]

did it take you that long to realize 😭

[thin anchor]

silly question
i swear ive done it before but ive forgotten
how would i apply size and color to this bottom string

[glad osprey]

do {C:inactive}

it applys size too i think?????

[limber aspen]

How does other_card work?
Is context.other_card:is_face() correct usage?

[red flower]

{s:0.6,C:color}?

[red flower]

if the context you're on has other_card then yes

[thin anchor]

that worked
i just had a space inbetween those 2

[icy oak]

does this mean stakes applied go in order of lowest to highest or highest to lowest

[limber aspen]

Does context.cardarea == G.play has it?

[glad osprey]

thats not a context

thats a card area

[limber aspen]

Oh

[red flower]

cardarea is another field in multiple contexts, you should look at the main ones here
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

i dont speak german

oh wait thats norwegian

[quartz ravine]

I have a card who will proc and kill a card to trim your hand, I have been trying to determine how to add an arbitrary texture to a ui pane for a moment so I can render the shinu kanji. A call back to Rune's Spell in Phantasy Star IV where he does this

[limber aspen]

What is context for played cards?

[red flower]

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

[rapid stag]

is there a way to partially redraw a played hand back to hand?
like say i play 5 cards, but i want a specific card to come back to the hand after being played

[limber aspen]

Thanks!

[manic rune]

where tf is the empress code 😭

[red flower]

arent they all in use_consumeable

[manic rune]

nvm, i had to boot up balatro

for some reason some files didnt appear in dump

i

[manic rune]

this one, right?

😭

it nvm

i think its something like that, the empress is grouped with the other tarot cards that change enhancements

[glad osprey]

its just a consumable config thingy

same with the suit changes

[red flower]

yeah mod_conv

[rapid stag]

bump

[daring fern]

Maybe hook G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard and send it to hand instead?

[pale venture]

How do you make a global function to check if a blind is beaten? i thought you could just create a function in G.FUNCS with e as argument but it doesn't seem to be the case

[glad osprey]

elaborate

[manic rune]

you might want to hook to end_round(), dunno

[pale venture]

I want to check whether the player beats a specific boss blind, and i've got the if statements down, not sure how to call it every frame

[pale venture]

i'll try

[manic rune]

ah

hook to end_round then

[red flower]

For what reason

[glad osprey]

why do you need it called every frame

[manic rune]

^

[pale venture]

nvm it doesn't need to be tbf

[glad osprey]

just have it return a bool for whatever blind it receives

or a table of all beaten blinds

[manic rune]

please dont think of update as your first solution unless it really requires that lol

[red flower]

also https://xyproblem.info/

[glad osprey]

depending on what you plan on using

[manic rune]

i would actually die out of humiliation if N' were to send me that ngl

[pale venture]

i just did lol

[manic rune]

🥀

[red flower]

i mean it's just advice for future questions

[worthy stirrup]

How do i make it so my joker has the bottom part of the tag switching out like cryptid?

[manic rune]

man im still so dumb

[glad osprey]

copy cryptids code because thats always a good idea

[manic rune]

🥀

[glad osprey]

no problems have ever stemmed from copying cryptids code

[worthy stirrup]

FAIR

[glad osprey]

none at all

nada

[worthy stirrup]

sorry caps

[glad osprey]

zed

[manic rune]

tbf mathisfun knows exactly what hes doing
-# most of the time

so while cryptid's code looks scary as hell, i think its not too bad :p

[glad osprey]

yea with cryptid

[manic rune]

we dont talk about talisman

[glad osprey]

but most of cryptid is built around most of cryptid so that leads to many a issues

[manic rune]

does this make the empress more useful

[red flower]

the problem with cryptid is too many cooks

[manic rune]

or should i bump up the mult increase to +10

[glad osprey]

to 6 so that it ends on an even 10

[red flower]

i think +5 is fine

[glad osprey]

ah

[manic rune]

but when you turn them back to other enhancements, it becomes a pretty bad number 🥀

[tepid crow]

too many cooks and too many of them are new to programming in general

[pale venture]

hooking end_round works for what i was doing btw, thanks

though it doesn't seem like i can edit things about it on the fly the same way one would do with cards

[daring fern]

How would one prevent a playing card from being destroyed?

[wintry solar]

I think the best way currently is to give it a property and then hook dissolve and shatter to ignore cards with that property

[glad osprey]

also give them a nope message obv

[worthy stirrup]

Today I learned Crytid has part of the bee movie in its crash log

[glad osprey]

yea

[rapid stag]

based

ok, so i want to hook G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard(). what's the most efficient way to be like "hey, if X joker is not present, just continue on with the original functionality"

[worthy stirrup]

what is the little description called, i dont know the name

[manic rune]

SMODS.find_card

[glad osprey]

badge

[worthy stirrup]

ah

[rapid stag]

i really wish that the G.jokers area had like, a parallel table that was just all keys of present jokers in order, so i could go if aforementionedTable['my_joker_key'] then

[manic rune]

you can use SMODS.find_card, it tells you if the joker/consumable exists in their area

[wintry solar]

That’s exactly what find card does for you

[rapid stag]

...have i mentioned how much i LOVE reinventing the wheel

[glad osprey]

"how do i do this thing"
"do this"
"man i wish there was a way to do this thing"

[manic rune]

😭

[rapid stag]

i may be stupid

[manic rune]

oh yeah, something nice to know is that #SMODS.find_card("key") also return how many instances of that card exist, i think
-# i faintly remember someone saying so

[red flower]

i mean i think they're talking about having a look up table but trying to optimize something that has at most 100 iterations in the worst case scenarios doesn't make much sense

[red flower]

yes

[manic rune]

:3

[glad osprey]

yea it returns every instance of it in a table

[wintry solar]

We could probably repurpose the used_jokers table to do something like that

[rapid stag]

i mean, i knew find_card() existed, i just for some reason had it in my head that it's not something that should be used with significant frequency

[glad osprey]

so if you just want to check if the card exists do if SMODS.find_card()[1]

[wintry solar]

next(SMODS.find_card()) is more efficient iirc

[red flower]

or next

[wintry solar]

Or is it that using the index will crash when it’s empty

That seems likely

[glad osprey]

whats next do

[glad osprey]

not if your just checking for its existence

[worthy stirrup]

Just to be sure, this is correct? I mean it looks correct in game but I dont know if i somehow implemented it wrong

[placid star]

so im trying to make a joker that turns any scored cards with seals into my custom seal but its not working...

[red flower]

gives you the next item in a table

[manic rune]

you should probably use context.before or something instead

[rapid stag]

next just looks at whatever thing is next in the table. it can take a second argument, which iirc it expects to be a table index

[manic rune]

also

[wintry solar]

context.other_card

[manic rune]

context.other_card, not other_card

dang it

[glad osprey]

context.other_card

[hardy viper]

if you have an empty table [1] only looks at one vacant slot as opposed to next() which would need to look at all of them

[manic rune]

i need suggestions on how to buff wild cards

:3

[red flower]

treated as every rank

[rapid stag]

well next doesn't care about whether or not the table is indexed or is key based

[manic rune]

quantum rank technology is too hard for me

[red flower]

make quantum ranks real

[manic rune]

😭 HOW

[worthy stirrup]

Okay, one last question for now, how do I hide the mod tag. I want it to just be the game its from

[manic rune]

i cant just magically make :get_id() == 13 works with a seven of spades 😭

[maiden river]

did you ever do this btw

[daring fern]

What's the difference between card.seal and card.ability.seal?

[glad osprey]

context.other_card smh

[wintry solar]

Sorry I’ve not had chance yet

[rapid stag]

in what context? in a take_ownership()? in something you're adding?

[manic rune]

god

[maiden river]

it's all cool

[worthy stirrup]

under the card, it says what mod its from, how can i remove that within the code

[hardy viper]

order doesn't matter but it still needs to check the full structure to be sure that it would return nil

[glad osprey]

set_mod_badges is the function that does that iirc

[manic rune]

do i just

bump the selection limit to 5 or something

😭

[glad osprey]

yea

[daring fern]

What about making it not be debuffed by suit boss blinds?

[placid star]

so do you think this would work?

[manic rune]

nop

i mean

why dont you just do for i,v in ipairs(G.play.cards) at that point

[placid star]

cause like i dont understand that

[manic rune]

uh

[worthy stirrup]

    set_mod_badges = function(self, card, badges)
        badges[#badges+1] = create_badge('Femtanyl', G.C.WHITE, G.C.BLACK,  1)
    end,

like this?

[hardy viper]

if you had a structure and were asked to return a random value in that array or nothing if it's empty, you would traverse the structure to find some value you can return. to know you can safely assume you can return nothing, you need to traverse the entire structure
however if you're asked to return the element at some certain position in a structure you'll just check whether there's something in that position and you can safely return nothing immediately then

[manic rune]

think of it like this, G.play.cards is just a table containing all played cards, from left to right

[wintry solar]

Stop using context values without context. pls

[manic rune]

so when you run for i,v in ipairs(G.play.cards), v refers to a card in played hand

[placid star]

yeah but like wtf does ipairs mean

[manic rune]

"please check this table from the first value to the last value"

local hi = {9,5,3,9,5,9,3}

for i,v in ipairs(hi) do
  print(v)
end

9
5
3
9
5
9
3

[placid star]

hm, okay so v would be a card?

[manic rune]

mhm

[placid star]

meaning i could check it for seals?

[manic rune]

yes

[placid star]

ah okay ty!!

[faint yacht]

ipairs will only do value ranges without breaks. [1] = true, [2] = true, [3] = true, [5] = true will only do the first 3.

[manic rune]

yeah, that

[wintry solar]

What a fun feature!

[manic rune]

truly

[worthy stirrup]

is there a way to just have it be the text only and no blue part?

    set_badges = function(self, card, badges)
        badges[#badges+1] = create_badge('Femtanyl', G.C.BLUE, G.C.GREY,  1)
    end,

[red flower]

G.C.CLEAR instead of blue?

[worthy stirrup]

is clear even one

[placid star]

wow guys, what a useful feature! i truly do love modding balatro, the hit indie title and game of the year nominee!

[red flower]

yes

[rapid stag]

yes

[manic rune]

yeah so, i was about to respond to this

im not sure how i would go about with this one

[worthy stirrup]

oh

[manic rune]

my first plan was to hook to is_suit(), but that makes jokers which check for suits fucked

[worthy stirrup]

thank yall

[wintry solar]

I think you’d need to override is_suit to add an extra flag to it for when the blind is doing it’s checks

[manic rune]

oh, its possible to do that?

-# or alternatively, i could just make wild cards unaffected by debuffs completely, but why do i feel like a joker already has that effect

[faint yacht]

You can do a lot with a simple hook, including replacing the function outright for the most part, but as it is a "hook", you are to call the original function. Replacing without referencing the original function is an override.

[manic rune]

yeah, i know that - i meant the flag part lol

[maiden river]

permanent marker, extra credit

[manic rune]

fakj

HM

[maiden river]

technically, it's all enhanced cards, but still

[wintry solar]

Oh I 100% meant hook lol

It’s not very mod compatible though

[manic rune]

yeah, thats what im afraid of

i dont want to add a feature thats only compatible for vanilla blinds 🥀

[wintry solar]

You could it set a global flag instead

Oh modded blinds would be a nightmare I’d avoid them completely

[manic rune]

i dont like inconsistency..........

like, i will probably have to go with the effect: Can't be debuffed by (most) Boss Blinds

and i think it looks goofy 😭

[wintry solar]

You could just do wild cards can’t be debuffed

[worthy stirrup]

this might be a dumb question, are you able to put symbols into the joker names

[wintry solar]

That should be pretty simple

[manic rune]

true

wild cards still rely on modded jokers too much anyways, so i think thats fine

[manic rune]

like, [ " ] /?

[worthy stirrup]

i was thinking of like a little heart symbol lol

[red flower]

my joker has a star in the name but the balatro font doesn't have that so you need a custom one to see it

[manic rune]

oh, i dont think so

[worthy stirrup]

damn

[manic rune]

-# you will need to add a new font i think

uh, what function is run to debuff a card again

:3

[worthy stirrup]

ill probably just skip on the heart, im prob releasing this mod and i dont want to force people to install a font for it

[maiden river]

you can't just package it with the mod?

[manic rune]

^

[worthy stirrup]

yea, but like, im lazy :3c

[maiden river]

😭

i should change my name to a context too

this is a good one

it's relevant to my struggle

[manic rune]

we can become calculate

:3

[worthy stirrup]

jokes on you

[manic rune]

not the localization...................

[maiden river]

i am become calculate, destroyer of mods

actually I have a better nickname

[worthy stirrup]

they call me context.cardarea == G.play

[placid star]

uhh so this doesnt work, it doesnt even print true even with a hand with scored seals in it

[wintry solar]

New names are fun when you’re still identifiable

[maiden river]

true

[placid star]

also what happened to your names?? 😭

[maiden river]

we're becoming balatro

[worthy stirrup]

is there a way to get the polychrome text above it?

did my message send

[manic rune]

balala

[worthy stirrup]

olh

[red flower]

you mean the tooltip?

[worthy stirrup]

yea

[placid star]

i guess the balatro was the friends we made along the way ahh

[red flower]

oh or the badge

[manic rune]

i think they meant the badge

[worthy stirrup]

polychrome above the DDG

[manic rune]

yeah, the badge

[red flower]

friends vs balatro?

[manic rune]

i havent dealt with seals yet, but i dont think thats how you check if a card has a seal or not

[maiden river]

yes

[placid star]

card.seal returns a string of seal name, or nil if no seal is there

[manic rune]

ah, i see

[placid star]

and i checked deja vu, it uses set_seal()

[wintry solar]

Remove the cardarea check

[manic rune]

also, you should use context.before instead

wait nvm u r

i thought that was context.individual for some reason 😭

feafeom ye, remove the cardarea part

[placid star]

ill try thattt

that worked...

[manic rune]

is this how i do it

actually, this currently doesnt help to un-debuff currently debuffed cards i think, hm

[red flower]

you can try doing something with context.debuff_card and prevent_debuff

[manic rune]

hmm

wait

what the hell is context.debuff_card??

[red flower]

new blind calc context

[manic rune]

oh

[red flower]

return debuff = true to debuff and prevent_debuff = true to undebuff

[manic rune]

ah icic, but i was mostly concerned about other sources

like jokers which debuff some playing cards

so even if you turn those cards into wild cards, i dont think they wil de-debuff themselves

[red flower]

that context ignores debuffs i think
but it only runs and the beginning of the blind i think so it wouldn't help if a joker does it in the middle

[manic rune]

crap

hm

another idea is that when you use The Lovers, it de-debuffs selected cards too

doesnt help if they are turned to Wild Cards through other means though, hmmm, maybe i should hook to set_ability?

[red flower]

i think that makes sense

[cyan lagoon]

this is supposed to trigger on stone cards, but instead triggers on enhanced cards if stone is played

[manic rune]

you dont need to go through context.scoring_hand again

[daring fern]

Also there is SMODS.has_enhancement

[manic rune]

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then

[faint yacht]

SMODS.has_enhancement still calls SMODS.get_enhancements fwiw.

[manic rune]

and in here, just return mult, and you should be good

[cyan lagoon]

damn, it's always that easy

thanks

[manic rune]

weird
