WHY ARE YOU DEBUFFED, THE BLIND IS OVER 😭

[red flower]

maybe you need to call that function that recalculates debuffs? idk

[manic rune]

hm

[modern kindle]

bepis

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

hi bestie

[manic rune]

i added some cool skills :3

[daring heron]

How would one go about creating a new deck?

[modern kindle]

oh hell yea

[manic rune]

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

[red flower]

SMODS.Front when

[shell timber]

the SMODS.Center in question:

actually back inherits from center right

[red flower]

center is different from front

yeah

[daring heron]

So.. how do i make a deck?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/DeckOf4s.lua

[brisk rose]

y'know fair

the smods.back documentation blows

I'm getting bodied, lol

[daring heron]

Nah i agree

[brisk rose]

It's actually not as bad as I thought

[maiden river]

my blind text isn't showing up 😒
I have the keys right in the localization file and the object itself

[brisk rose]

it has a function and in_pool controls what cards are in deck

[maiden river]

Blind = {
        bl_fvb_the_jam = {
            name = "The Jam",
            text = { "All Weapons are debuffed"}
        }
    },

here's the code

indentation 💀

SMODS.Blind({
    key = "the_jam",
    atlas = "the_jam",
    boss = { min = 2 },
    boss_colour = HEX("E0569B"),
    discovered = false,
    recalc_debuff = function (self, card, from_blind)
        if (card.area == G.weapons) and not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
            return true
        end
    end,
})

also this

[daring heron]

How would i for example create a deck that includes 26 random lucky cards

Not like the suit or number to be random

Just which cards are lucky

[red flower]

did you understand how the example works

[daring heron]

Barely

[red flower]

here's one more like what you want but with glass
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/AbsoluteDeck.lua

you would need to add a pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / odds for it to be applied randomly

[daring heron]

How could i make it always only apply to 26?

[brisk rose]

Have a bool that you flip in the loop and only have it do it if ts on one value

[brisk rose]

But I guess that's not random

[daring heron]

Yeah

[red flower]

just have a counter

[brisk rose]

Maybe do a 50/50 chance and have a counter that stops at 26

[red flower]

or you can do pseudorandom_element 26 times

[faint yacht]

Just gotta make sure said pseudorandom_element doesn't choose the same card.

Which sounds like a repeat until loop.

[red flower]

yeah i would remove the card from the list each time

[daring heron]

Alright, could anyone show kinda where i should put what?

[faint yacht]

Was more thinking of initializing a blank table, then have the pseudorandom_element occur in the repeat until loop which also contains an iteration over the current table to check if the chosen card is already added to the table... if not, add it. until is the # of the table equal to the desired amount of cards.

[red flower]

kinda hard to do without coding it for you haha

[daring heron]

Fair enough

I mean, if you’d like, thatd save me a headache or 2 hah

[maiden river]

are custom cardareas not included in recalc_debuff?

recalc_debuff = function (self, card, from_blind)
  if (card.area == G.weapons) and not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
      print("hi")
      return true
  end
end,

this doesn't do anything

[daring heron]

Where could i even start

I barely even know how to format the code

[maiden river]

how much programming do you know?

[daring heron]

Lua?

Pretty much 0

I know a little bit of gdscript

[maiden river]

oh
you should check out something that goes over the basics
you don't need a lot of knowledge about the whole language, but for modding balatro having a basic foundation is enough

[daring heron]

Yeah i followed a tutorial on how to create a custom joker

[red flower]

something like this

local cards = {}
for i, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do -- this is to copy the table without modifying it
    cards[#cards+1] = card
end

for i = 1, 26 do
    local chosen, index = pseudorandom_element(cards, pseudoseed("seed"))
    chosen:set_ability("m_lucky")
    table.remove(cards, index)
end

[daring heron]

But i cant find a tutorial for a custom deck sadly

[maiden river]

I mean the basics of lua

[daring heron]

Where could i find that

[maiden river]

uh
you could read the lua documentation

[red flower]

https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html

[maiden river]

I'm sure there are videos on it too

[faint yacht]

I have a deck that leaves only the Aces out of the 52 cards available, if that is of help.

[hushed field]

Did you figure this out? I'm not at my PC but I have challenges that set this up in Kino

[hushed field]

I should've scrolled up just ever so slightly, haha

[daring heron]

Real

[hushed field]

But yeah, that's how I do it too

[red flower]

damn im just copying ice..

[maiden river]

at least my swirl color works

[faint yacht]

Oh, actually, you should pseudoshuffle(cards, pseudoseed('lucky')) the table before doing the for loop.

[red flower]

what does that do

[wintry solar]

That seems unnecessary

[faint yacht]

-# That's what I do for my SPB Spectral targeting random cards.

[red flower]

you could do that instead of the for loop and just change the first 26 cards

but its basically the same

[crystal flicker]

i want to check if a specific tarot is being used. am i doing something wrong here syntactically?

[daring fern]

c_wheel_of_fortune

[daring heron]

where should i put this?

[daring fern]

Are you coding in notepad?

[daring heron]

yeah lol

[crystal flicker]

thats insane

[daring heron]

notepad goes hard trust

[red flower]

please use a code editor lol

[daring heron]

which one

[red flower]

also you would replace this part of the example with my code

vscode

[glad osprey]

how do i make a custom center render like a tag

[daring heron]

alright

[daring heron]

still have no idea where i need to put it 😔

wait nvm

i think i got it

[maiden river]

like this?

or do you have something else in mind

[glad osprey]

i think?

idk im trying to make a menu that shows every perk you currently have active

[daring heron]

can i remove this config?

or is it neccesary

[modern kindle]

probably better your way but wouldnt +10% accuracy fit better wording wise

[maiden river]

god damn it 😭

not again

[red flower]

idk what thats for honestly haha

[graceful magnet]

is there a cardarea or such for booster packs?

[maiden river]

there's a long debate in the modding chat from a few days ago, but in short: it doesn't actually matter

[maiden river]

G.pack_cards

[unborn bay]

G.pack_cards

[glad osprey]

perks should be rendered like tags, but i am extending them from centers

[unborn bay]

dammir

[graceful magnet]

sweet

[maiden river]

I'm too fast

[modern kindle]

ye, i dont think wording matters that much its just my personal preference

whatever u like works cause its ur mod

:)

[maiden river]

thank you 😭

[red flower]

+5% accuracy -5% miss chance

[modern kindle]

peak

[maiden river]

someone was writing a damn dissertation in the other chat

[modern kindle]

people take moddin too srs

[maiden river]

the main reason I like the text like that is because I get to avoid Big Number Go Brr

[unborn bay]

i feel like for this you'll probably have to create a new hud element for it

[daring heron]

so, would this do?

[red flower]

youre missing the first part of what i posted

[daring heron]

so this?

[eager pendant]

Can you tell me how to output card.ability.extra.emult in a message?

[maiden river]

indentation

[manic rune]

oh god that indentation

[maiden river]

like, a message in the console?

[daring heron]

???

[red flower]

yes

also yeah fix your indentation

[maiden river]

if so you could just print it with print

[daring heron]

wdym??

[eager pendant]

No, in the game, when the tally

[daring heron]

like this?

[manic rune]

much cleaner, yeah

[red flower]

yes but now you're missing the return true

[daring heron]

how do i fix that

sorry im pretty

stupid sometimes lol

[red flower]

you need this part before the }))

[zealous glen]

Sounds like me

[daring heron]

okay, so this?

[zealous glen]

I think such design conventions exist for a reason

[red flower]

youre still missing an end

[manic rune]

we can do cross mod content when my skill tree mod is complete :3

[zealous glen]

Are you indenting manually

[red flower]

you should download this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/?itemName=sumneko.lua

[daring heron]

no, i just imported that into it

[maiden river]

I'm going to work on making an option to change the text

[manic rune]

why r there two local cards = {}

[maiden river]

So people can finally leave me alone

[manic rune]

am i tripping

[chrome widget]

Anyone here have knowledge about vertex shaders?

[daring heron]

nevermind, it still doesnt work

what did i do wrong 😔

[manic rune]

if it comes to shader, i doubt anyone except eremel and like, 5 other people know about it winter

😭

[daring heron]

hi paper >:0

i saw you

[chrome widget]

Great. I'm basically just trying to figure out the most effective way to determine which vertex of a quad I'm currently dealing with in a vertex shader

I don't know how to declare or identify that information unfortunately

[eager pendant]

How to output emult in the message when counting

[manic rune]

🥀

i cant help with shader at all, so good luck winter

[manic rune]

i cant understand your question, can you uh, be more clear about it?

[red flower]

does it show up?

[flint urchin]

Sup!! im trying to make my first mod
im making a tarot card here but im not sure how to make a function for it like making it create random jokers on use
Is there mayhaps an IDE that can show these functions as i write the code??
also what would i need to write to make that exact function work lol i have no exeprience in lua-
( dont ask about the big atlas i am gonna fix that)

[daring heron]

no, it just crashes when i start the game

[red flower]

no IDE is going to show you everything but some like vscode will show you what steamodded has documented

[hard needle]

🫡 we all start somewhere

[red flower]

what's the crash

[zealous glen]

Key is wrong*

It doesn’t break just doesn’t work like you expect

[hard needle]

i used to use notepad++ i recommend using vscode though

[flint urchin]

oh is it??

[zealous glen]

Key identifies the card

Not the consumable type

[flint urchin]

wouldnt that work?? cuz on the api github it says tarot is one to use, or maybe i misunderstood

[flint urchin]

oh helo

[graceful magnet]

trying to make something create a copy of a consumable used from a pack, it isn't triggering though, I think I got the initial calculate check wrong

[eager pendant]

When scoring, if there is a Joker with X2 the message "x2" appears on the screen, how to do the same with emulsion only?

[shell timber]

so you want to make a joker that gives ^mult?

[red flower]

context.area instead of cardarea

[red flower]

well thats a problem with the atlas not my code 😛

[zealous glen]

“Not equal”

[flint urchin]

indeed! but i assume it would be nicer to have some help starting
the github doesnt give me enough info, at least notsomething i understand lol

[daring heron]

i figured, but idunno how to fix it

[flint urchin]

oh??

so do i go
key
the set tarot

[shell timber]

key is the key of the object

[zealous glen]

You specify a key

[shell timber]

so here it would be paper

[zealous glen]

But yeah

The key identifies the card

It can be anything

[shell timber]

or the_paper or whatever

[graceful magnet]

Sweet, now it's a different problem, probably to do with this

[zealous glen]

It can even be caino

[red flower]

how does your asset folder look

[zealous glen]

Or gluttenous

[red flower]

.config.center.key

[zealous glen]

Or

[flint urchin]

dat makes sense

[zealous glen]

.config.center_key

[eager pendant]

I did, but here's what I did

[graceful magnet]

yep cool now it works

[flint urchin]

does this work mayhaps?

[zealous glen]

No

Syntax error

[graceful magnet]

now I'm having trouble with the other one

which is also just not triggering

[zealous glen]

Missing a comma

[graceful magnet]

put a comma after the set definition

[flint urchin]

done!!
Now i shall try to figure out how to make it give me 2 random jokers
where shall i start

[zealous glen]

Judgement

[flint urchin]

oh right

thats a good

[zealous glen]

Although SMODS provides an easier to use utility function

[flint urchin]

reference

[flint urchin]

oh does it?? how so

[zealous glen]

SMODS.create_card and SMODS.add_card

I recommend the latter

[daring heron]

also some of my code is yellow now??

[flint urchin]

oh so do i go with the use(self, card, area, copier)? im not sure how to formulate it

[red flower]

add the steamodded folder to your workspace

[daring heron]

i have no idea what i'm doing

why are there 2k errors 😭

[red flower]

those are warnings

dont worry about them

[chilly hull]

i want to remove .25 xmult per card played, which works, but cards score mess it up, when playing a flush it counts wayy too many cards (from X10 to X3.25)
also i wan he extinct message to appear when the card reaches <1 but instead the message appears above the cards (once for evey scoring card) got the code from g ros michel in the example jokers by steammodded

[daring heron]

oh okay

[flint urchin]

2k??? how- its just 35 lines of code cebee lol

[daring heron]

it still crashes tho

[red flower]

because theyre from steamodded

[flint urchin]

ah that makes sense

[red flower]

whats inside the assets folder

[graceful magnet]

warnings are usually inconsequential and just mean "hey you could be doing this" or "hey this might not necessarily work the expected way but it won't crash"

[daring heron]

same in 2x

but upscaled

okay different error

[red flower]

no idea

[red flower]

what did you change

[daring heron]

nothing

[red flower]

ohh

it's SMODS.Back not Decks

idk where you got decks from

[daring heron]

oh

[zealous glen]

To be fair

I’m pretty sure there was a debate

[red flower]

no my problem is that it was back before and suddenly it changed to decks lol

i agree that back is confusing and bad

[daring heron]

okay it runs now but it still doesnt show up

[eager pendant]

How to display emult on the screen when counting

[zealous glen]

I mean it was thunk’s choice

[shell timber]

just emult should work(?) do you have a message in the return?

send your code

[red flower]

point proven

[zealous glen]

So true!

[daring heron]

how do i make the deck show up :>

[red flower]

it should show up with the code you showed

[daring heron]

also it does give multiple warnings in my code

[shell timber]

instead of returning emult_mod just return emult and get rid of the message

[red flower]

thats fine

its just warnings, you can right click to disable them

[daring heron]

why isnt it showing up though?

[shell timber]

the key shouldn't be Back

[eager pendant]

Thanks, it's working)

[graceful magnet]

okay well I couldn't figure out context.debuffed_hand so I tried doing it manually and okay well it's still not triggering

[daring heron]

then what should it be?

[shell timber]

whatever the deck is called

the key is what identifies the object

[daring fern]

Name lowercase no spaces.

[daring heron]

it works now, but it crashes once i start a run with my deck

do i need to set pseudoseed to smth?

[graceful magnet]

pseudoseed("whatever")

[daring fern]

You misspelled pseudoseed

[daring heron]

alright, now this

[graceful magnet]

Show your full deck code

[daring fern]

Why do you still have local cards = {} twice?

[daring heron]

my bad, removed it

still crashes tho

[daring fern]

Why did you swap index and cards in table.remove?

[eager pendant]

Tell me how to make the values change as on the misprint joker, I have it changes only after some action

[daring heron]

i didnt, i think the program did that for me somehow

[shell timber]

i don't know how misprint works

[daring heron]

still doesnt show the correct deck image tho

[chilly hull]

this only works on scored cards, how do i make it so it loses X0.25 mult for every played card? like ice cream

[hushed field]

you'd do it in context.after or context.before (depending on if you want it to immediately impact scoring or not), and iterate over the cards in context.full_hand

[faint yacht]

context.full_hand exists, was about to say.

[daring fern]

It’s because your going over every card for every card but your returning so it only happens once.

[red flower]

maybe you have copilot enabled or something

[chilly hull]

thank you i was looking for that

[red flower]

you need to use the main_end field in loc_vars with a dynatext object

or main_start

[daring heron]

but how do i make it use the correct image?

[chilly hull]

smth like this?

[red flower]

atlas = "Back" in your deck

[daring heron]

can i just rename it to anything?

or the image name

[red flower]

yes

[daring heron]

i tried and it crashed

do i need to rename it in the atlas too?

[chilly hull]

nvm it does nothing now

[red flower]

the key field in the atlas and the atlas field in the back need to be the same

[willow plinth]

guys maybe i'm blind, i searched this discord and the wiki, is there a way to left align joker info text?

[daring heron]

which ones do i rename?

the key in atlas?

or the one in the lucky deck

or this one

[shell timber]

it should still be SMODS.Back

[faint yacht]

context.full_hand and G.play?

[daring fern]

No.

[daring heron]

okay i think i got it now?

it doesnt crash

still doesnt show the image tho

[chilly hull]

this is my second joker i have no idea what those things mean, theyre nott well documented

imo

[red flower]

SMODS.Back needs an atlas = "luckydeck"

[red flower]

like, the description?

[daring heron]

like this?

[red flower]

lowercase atlas but yes

and a comma obviously

[daring heron]

now it crashes when i start a run again

[willow plinth]

yes...i want to have a numbered list in there which obviously looks ugly with the default center alignment

i see a lot of align=cm in the source code but i'm not really sure where the source code for the specific joker popup is

[red flower]

you can maybe do that with main_end

by making the UI for that manually

[red flower]

send crash

[willow plinth]

like it would probably enough to know where the text from loc_text get's processed and put into UI in the source

i'll look into main_end

[daring heron]

doesnt crash if its Atlas instead of atlas tho

but still doesnt show the right image

[red flower]

desc_from_rows?

[willow plinth]

ahhh perfect, thanks for the pointer, i'll try to hook into that i guess

[red flower]

can you post the whole code again

[daring heron]

[red flower]

the atlas should also say key = "luckydeck"

you are going back and forth with changes for no reason lol

[frosty rampart]

^ the "atlas = ___" line in your deck back should be using the same string as the key of the atlas you want to use

[daring heron]

there we go

thanks so much

[chilly hull]

what should be there then? im not finding anything to base my code on

[willow plinth]

how do i escape curly braces in loc_texts?

backslashes don't seem to work

[hushed field]

no, full_hand is actually a table that contains all the cards in your full hand! So you'll wanna do

if context.before then
  for _index, _playingcard in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
    card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult - 0.25
  end
end

[chilly hull]

what is ipairs?

[tall wharf]

integer pairs 😭

[faint yacht]

ipairs() returns index-value pairs and is mostly used for numeric tables.
pairs() returns key-value pairs and is mostly used for associative tables.

[chilly hull]

have some patience i havent totuched lua 😭

[tall wharf]

you use it to loop thru an int indexed array

[unborn bay]

everyone, ipairs

[tall wharf]

this is starting to get bloated

[gilded narwhal]

Dear god

[hushed field]

ipairs is what you use to loop through tables that only contain values, while pairs is used if it's a key-value set up

[rapid stag]

oh, is it unique ability per mod

[zealous glen]

I’d ask for my mod but I’ve yet to add more mechanics

So what about Fish?

[tall wharf]

just say it

[zealous glen]

[tall wharf]

all boss blinds are the fish

[zealous glen]

No Fish is Five of a Flush

[hushed field]

The cards that get passed on to the context.full_hand (or context.scoring_hand, or any context, for that matter) are always just a table of cards by index, so there's no keys, which means you wanna use ipairs

[zealous glen]

For Victin’s Collection, I’d wait for new mechanics

[hushed field]

G.play, as you were checking there, is only ever passed along as a variable named area or cardarea. the context.cardarea variable will be the only one that ever contains whether a card is in G.play or in G.hand, etc. So you never need to compare another context with G.play

[maiden phoenix]

How about one for my mod? 👀

[tall wharf]

what are you thinking

[maiden phoenix]

Either something to do with joker slots or Bakery cards

[chilly hull]

still only activates once (also, how do you do the fancy coder text in discord?)

[unborn bay]

triple back ticks

[hushed field]

three backtics on each side (`)

[tall wharf]

haya

[frosty rampart]

move the return to after the for loop

[unborn bay]

hi aikoyori can you add my mod to your joker

[chilly hull]

i see thakns

[tall wharf]

what are you thinking

i need to look into the mod content

first

and see what i can adapt

[dull wyvern]

Currently trying to make my first mod to modify a few existing jokers

I managed to change the jokers themselves with lovely injection, but I'm not sure what is the best way to setup mod description

Right now I use <modname>.lua, which is essentially just a steammodded header with nothing else. Seems kinda jank, but maybe thats a fine way to do it?

[hushed field]

if you want each card to display a message, you need to use something else than return, as return will end the loop here. I'd say what the correct thing was, but my approach is outdated so I'd need to check, but I'm hoping someone else can tell us before I actually need to open google, haha

[frosty rampart]

you'll need to do a bit more work if you want the message to accurately show how much mult it loses, but that'll make the functionality work properly at least

[chilly hull]

yeah im looking for it

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[dull wyvern]

I looked through it, but its a bit overwhelming right now. I'm asking for some... On hands solution

Different mods have different ways of doing it

[frosty rampart]

i forget how ramen behaves exactly, but i made an xChips counterpart joker that loses value for played cards as well, and i just keep track of how much is lost in a separate variable and then return that variable at the end

[tall wharf]

oh wow source modder please tell me how to use hammer for source

[unborn bay]

i feel like the right answer to that sounds like 'dont'

[hushed field]

i personally use card_eval_status_text to display messsages outside of the return, but I think the current adviced smods way is some form of a calculate call.

[dull wyvern]

First you install hammer++ and never touch hammer itself

[tall wharf]

😭😭😭😭

i wanna make portal 2 maps is it that complicated

[maiden phoenix]

Doesn't portal 2 have a level editor?

[dull wyvern]

Actually, idk if hammer++ have Portal 2 support. I mostly just do stuff for TF2

[unborn bay]

uuuuuuuh

hmm

[tall wharf]

yes but if you wanna do something more

[unborn bay]

something with spelling out a profanity does something

[tall wharf]

you'll have to resort to hammer

[maiden phoenix]

Oh

[dull wyvern]

(and it stinks)

[tall wharf]

I'll need a list of profanities tho

[unborn bay]

'fuck' 'shit' 'bitch' all the common profanities ig

[frosty rampart]

instantly loses the game ohhhhyeah

[faint yacht]

You'd probably want to put that return table into a SMODS.calculate_individual_effect() and pass the currently iterated card as the target... so, something like this, iirc.

local effects = {card = card, message = '-X0.25', colour = G.C.MULT}
SMODS.calculate_individual_effect(effects, context.full_hand[_index], 'message', effects.message, false)

-# I could also be completely wrong... but return-ing in that way would only target the first card.

[chilly hull]

ive made it work already!

yay

it just says -X1.25 when playing 5 cards

which is good enough for me

[faint yacht]

That works too.

[rustic moth]

Hi guys does anyone know what function gets called when you change the contrast options in the collabs tab?

[chilly hull]

also i just dont understand this

i can try to make it look like ramen if you'd explain it a lil bit

[tall wharf]

why do you need this

[faint yacht]

Optimally, the way you did it is better, all things considered.

[chilly hull]

it isnt true to the vanilla counterpart though

[willow plinth]

thoughts?

[zealous glen]

Hold on I’m gonna need a PhD to understand this

[willow plinth]

i thought the "currently" would help 😭

[zealous glen]

I’ll be back in A + B months

[hushed field]

I think you might need to invest in some alternate ui options if these description blocks are common, haha

[willow plinth]

ahhhh i'm so cooked

[hushed field]

How are the A B and C picked or defined?

[wintry solar]

you should use the new multi box feature

where you have the big line breaks you should ahve a new box, but I think the bottom one should be at the top

it's the most important

<@&1133519078540185692>

[hushed field]

I mean, I assume that all the complexity largely comes from referencing mechanics that aren't on the card, haha

[unborn bay]

<@&1133519078540185692> kill him

[oblique pond]

voucher that took way too much effort (T2 is just 2x more of them)

[willow plinth]

they start at 4, 6, 4 basically

[zealous glen]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[karmic creek]

pew pew

[hushed field]

Vonnegutted

[zealous glen]

You should use a button that can be held to display more info

[rustic moth]

well it's kinda complicated, basically I'm creating a deck that changes the appearance of your cards the moment you start a run with it and reverts back to your previous selected skin once you exit the run, it works just fine but I also wanted to change the suits colors dynamically but changing directly G.C.SUITS seems to overwrite G.C.SO_1 too... that's why I wanted to call the function responsible for changing the suits colors directly, but I don't know where it is

[zealous glen]

I used ALT

[unborn bay]

how many mods add periods to their descriptions and how many mods don't

[hushed field]

Ah, what changes them

[zealous glen]

I add sometimes to split phrases

When I don’t use an empty line

[willow plinth]

ah yeah i need to look into those anyway, is there a good smods wiki page for it?

[wintry solar]

its on the localization page

[zealous glen]

I don’t think multibox will help much

[wintry solar]

but to sum it up, you know how the current description is a table?

just make it a table of those tables

[zealous glen]

I think it’s better to have only part of the description there at a time

Especially the unlockable ones

[willow plinth]

that's it? that sounds easy

is that also how people add extra boxes for referenced cards, like i would need to do here with black hole?

[zealous glen]

I don’t think they should be visible until unlocked

Maybe you can hold ALT to preview them

[zealous glen]

No

You probably need new localization entries for those

That’s what I do at least

[unborn bay]

honestly this type of joker would be quite hard to follow and understand properly in a run

[frosty rampart]

if the tooltip already exists, the extra tooltips are done via adding to the info_queue table in the loc_vars function

[unborn bay]

unless thats the intention

[oblique pond]

inconsistent but i usually do add periods

[willow plinth]

yeah ideally i wanted them invisible or greyed out but this was just a mockup, nothing about this joker is dynamic yet

[willow plinth]

that was my main fear, i feel like it's unsalvageable and i should rethink my whole approach with these

[zealous glen]

To be fair you don’t need anything special for partially hidden UI

You can just use main_end

[zealous glen]

That’s a good designer speaking

[willow plinth]

the joker itself? haha, idk how to explain it, but that's already telling a lot

[zealous glen]

Casual/fan projects usually have people trying to force ideas at all costs

Good designers just can them

[frosty rampart]

i use periods if there are multiple sentences, but i never use a period for the last (or only) sentence

[willow plinth]

i'm open to everything here, i just want those five platonic solids to interact with eachother somehow, while also not being an exodia type of thing

[oblique pond]

(also these are the cards from familiar, not a whole new consumable type)

[zealous glen]

I think Exodia is a measure of parasitism

Platonic solids wanting other Platonic solids is parasitism

[willow plinth]

yeah i also read somewhere that it's against the design idea of the game, which i get - it's like "forced synergy", idk, localthunk had a better word for it

[frosty rampart]

i don't have any particular suggestions, but paperback does have a somewhat similar set of jokers that buff each other. there's a set of suit-based food jokers that are all some sort of food on a stick, and they leave behind their sticks as a separate joker when they expire. each stick gives xmult for every other stick joker you have

[zealous glen]

Emergent design

[willow plinth]

yeeees that's dope, i was so happy when i saw this in one of my runs

but in that case, it makes more sense

it's like a serendipity secondary use of an otherwise temporary joker

[twin basin]

How do i check if the player discards a specific suit?

[willow plinth]

hmmm i think i'll just go with that dnd dice suggestion, and make each of these platonic solids retrigger something randomly, and then they might synergize/snowball naturally

[placid star]

in this context, what would self be

[daring fern]

G

[willow plinth]

G?

[hard needle]

G.

[willow plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/letter-g-gif-gif-5924753939986183156

[placid star]

hm

[primal robin]

no-no-no, no G

Only m

[frosty rampart]

use if context.discard in the joker's calculate function, and context.other_card will be the card discarded. you can run context.other_card:is_suit("[the name of the suit]") to check for the suit

[unborn bay]

for this you'd probably want to hook onto init game object

so save the return table of Game.init_game_object in a hook, then add whatever values you want in G.GAME to that table, then return that table

[placid star]

i figured i could just use G.domain.config.card_slots

[twin basin]

thank youuu!!!

[soft echo]

are xchips automatically part of smods or would i need to implement that myself?

[daring fern]

Yes, no.

[frosty rampart]

yep, as of beta 0323b at least
works the same as chips/mult/xmult, just return { xchips = ... } and smods will handle the rest

[soft echo]

alright

now how would i add an edition to a card?

[daring fern]

card:set_edition(‘e_prefix_key’)

[soft echo]

thank you

which are the edition keys?

[daring fern]

e_foil, e_holo, e_polychrome

[soft echo]

alright that makes sense

i'm having a hard time finding this on the documentation on the github

[young pollen]

yo.

[red flower]

most vanilla functionality is not on the wiki, you need to look at the code

[soft echo]

ah

[digital niche]

for some reason i keep getting this crash, its supposed to add a random card out of one in the list to the deck

[gusty iron]

is there anyway to remove the edition/enhancement/sticker/whateverelseyoucanthave2ononecard limit?

[daring fern]

Quantum enhancements exist but you would have to do everything else manually.

[hushed field]

There is no sticker limit, technically

They're all separate entities, some just preclude each other explicitly

[willow plinth]

4 in 6 chance to retrigger a random scored card 4 times - what would the rarity of this be? too OP for common?

[hushed field]

Yes, definitely too strong for common hahaha

[willow plinth]

(i know 4 in 6 is 2 in 3)

aight hmmmmmm

[gusty iron]

isnt there some sort of hook i can edit?

[daring fern]

No, because all seals are stored in 1 variable.

[gusty iron]

okay then i guess ill tackle that another time

id probably just have to make enhancements that are combinations of two

[hushed field]

Somethingcom is the seal expert, so you might wanna drain some of their knowledge haha

[willow plinth]

okay what do you think about this

1 in 6 chance to retrigger a random scored card 4 times
1 in 4 chance to decrease the rank of a random scored card by 6 (min: 2)

still seems too strong somehow :((

[crystal flicker]

how do insert the card back into the deck? it's successfully in the deck but its just... chilling there 💀

[iron haven]

open a standard card pack and skip it.

[hushed field]

Honestly, my take on balancing is to just play with the idea as you've got it and time the numbers later, haha

[willow plinth]

seems reasonable

[crystal flicker]

no my joker added that steel card (didnt come from the pack), i need it to go back into my deck lol

[hushed field]

Emplace it in G.deck, not G.play, as that'll be empty during the shop

[frozen plinth]

Quick question
Got this bug
Any ideas on how to remedy it?

[daring fern]

Code?

[frozen plinth]

this is what started breaking it

[gusty iron]

how do i check how many times a hand has been played

[frozen plinth]

check telescope voucher code

[daring fern]

G.GAME.hands[handname].played

[gusty iron]

and how do i make a consumable only spawn after a condition is met? do i use in_pool(self, args)?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gusty iron]

okay so

for example:

in_pool(self, args)
return G.GAME.hands["juh"].played > 0
end

like that?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[gusty iron]

okay

its happens/crashes anytime i play a hand

[tall wharf]

i think you should emplace it to g.deck

[pure shard]

Does anyone know a mod that draws text on cards?

using SMODS.DrawStep?

[gusty iron]

suggested to me by a friend from school

[rapid stag]

what is the return value of take_ownership()? 🤔
is it the same as if you instantiated something of that class normally?

i.e. SMODS.Joker() and SMODS.Joker:take_ownership() return the same thing

[willow plinth]

can someone help me with thinking? i feel dumb

if there's a 1 in 12 (8.333%) chance of something happening, but an additional 1 in 20 (5%) chance of it happening twice, what is the combined chance?

or is there no real "combined chance"?

[crystal flicker]

emplacing to deck still doesn't insert it back to the deck

i'm just following marble joker and it seems pretty similiar

[rapid stag]

@rose dragon look, it finally happened

[keen tiger]

Okay, I'm running into a frustrating event issue

I need an event to not execute until the blind select anim and the hand drawing anim is fully finished

[daring fern]

context.first_hand_drawn?

[keen tiger]

I dont have context

Basically:

I'm manually calling G.FUNCS.select_blind in a standalone fn, not as part of an smods calculate fn @daring fern

So idk where context is

[daring fern]

Why?

[keen tiger]

Long story but im working on a control/puppeteering api for balatro

So I'm doing this in response to a socket message

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1364331658261823589

nvm got it working

i just check for the draw_to_hand state

and keep relaunching events until its not

[willow plinth]

or the selecting_hand state, yeah

like once selecting_hand is the state, every anim should be finished

[minor magnet]

any idea why these aren't working?

patching straight hand calculation

[celest timber]

how can i do something each time you draw cards? i looked into certificate code, but i want it to be always, and idk how to get the context without jokers/cards

[rare obsidian]

can any1 help me make a mod? I need help with art, balance, ideas, and programming

so basically everything lol

[rugged star]

why does this not localize properly?

[willow plinth]

what do you already have?

[rare obsidian]

the mod is called Scribbled, it adds an enhancement type only accessible via custom cards, It weakens the card, but allows you to de-scribble it with other cards, It will have synergies for being scribbled, and the scribbling cards it a more common way to dupe cards

[minor magnet]

ok, figured out another way to do this

[minor magnet]

ok mate id reccomend searching up the resources for beginners in the threads

wait ill link them if i can find them

[rare obsidian]

thx

This is the prototyping art i have so far, and i have broken code

[rugged star]

use dictionary instead of v_dictionary for no variable items

[formal quest]

What random elements are possible to access the outcome of before they happen?

I'm thinking of a Joker that tells you the outcome of some random events before they happen. The main things I want to access are wheel of fortune, judgement, sigil/ouija, and the top card of the deck. Also good would be the contents of booster packs.

[rapid stag]

i recall a little while back that someone made a joker that predicts the content of booster packs - might be some insight there
#💻・modding-dev message

[minor magnet]

ok does not work

still need help

[high sinew]

i wanna make this brown is there away to add colors besides one for G.C.()

[minor magnet]

try HEX(hexcode)

or add it as G.C.YOURCOLOR in main, which is usually better

[high sinew]

good call forgot HEX(hexcode) is a thing im trying to avoid misc functions being in main

I have utility for mod so I could add In there somehow?

is there a way to
i have a define.lua so idk if thats what it is tech

would u consider colors utility or a definition in terms of where i put

[soft echo]

how does one create a joker from base balatro?

[high sinew]

which one?

[soft echo]

obelisk

[high sinew]

set it up where you have context checking hands

this joker i made checks for four of a kind

[soft echo]

i meant like

adding the joker to your joker slots

[high sinew]

then you can make a loop where if hand is the same reset it

[soft echo]

cause ik how to do it for my jokers

[high sinew]

not sure what u mean

hard to give u an answer when i have 0 indication of how youve built mod, sorry

[soft echo]

like this

[high sinew]

ah ok

[soft echo]

like ik how to get the joker i've made, but not the ones from base balatro.

[high sinew]

so its not making the card?

[soft echo]

this is throwing an error

[high sinew]

also i would not materialize jokers tbh

what error?

[high sinew]

ad

ah

this might help you in how to build set up my guess is the way youve set up keys

try 'j_obelisk'

also it is spelled wrong in ur code too

that honestly might be ur error watch spelling errors

u have no e

[soft echo]

oh

my bad

[glad osprey]

holy fuck its brainstorm

[soft echo]

yeah i'm matching pfps with my girlfriend

[glad osprey]

i dont even have to ask what hers is

[soft echo]

also thank you for the help

just to confirm, it is Zany Joker, Right? /j

[glad osprey]

killing you...

[rare obsidian]

lol

[quartz ravine]

Chile's! I remember these!!

I just had a good idea. Add some config's to the mod so folks can enable or disable specific aspects of my mod. Seems like a nice to have

[rare obsidian]

how to fix???

oh...

im dum

[minor magnet]

use SMODS.create_card for creating jokers

it's usually better

[soft echo]

is that not what i'm using?

[minor magnet]

you're using the base game one, smods one is a bit simpler

SMODS.create_card{key = "j_obelisk"}

[quartz ravine]

How do most folks do attribution? I would like to add credits to the jokers that folks here made, and would like some ideas 🙂

I thought about trying to get jokers made by certain folks to have their names in place of my mod name, but I am not sure how to do that

[soft echo]

alright

[quartz ravine]

Or, it would be cool to add a INFO_QUEUE message. I will see if I can do that

[rare obsidian]

how do I fix this?

[red flower]

was this AI generated

[rare obsidian]

...

maybe

yes, im redoing it

[red flower]

yeah i would recommend sticking to AI just for general programming questions and stuff rather than to code the entire thing because that's very incoherent

[sturdy compass]

AI does not know how to balatro mod lol

[rare obsidian]

lol fr i leard a lesson

[quartz ravine]

AI is fine for general common programming basic things but you reall have to have an idea of what you're doing, otherwise it will generate reasonable seeming garbage

I've had junior devs try to explain what a PR is doing and...it's been awkward when they can't explain things

[rare obsidian]

how do I make the squigglies go away

[iron haven]

What if you tell AI to make modded joker ideas?

[red flower]

you do you but I'm personally against using AI for the creative side of things, that's supposed to be the human part

[chrome widget]

We typically do info queue messages

Like so

[thorn flame]

Currently making big mistakes

what if instead of friends of jimbo it was enemies of jimbo? meet george bush

[brisk rose]

Some people add another custom badge or a tooltip

I wouldn't recommend replacing the mod badge

It'd defeat the purpose of the mod badge

[faint yacht]

...well, technically, you could edit the mod badge to include someone alongside the mod name, be it separated by - or mod name in brackets iirc.

[hushed arrow]

how can I make a mod that modifies the existing values of cards/jokers? like making jimbo make +20 mult instead of +4

[sturdy compass]

Off topic but this art is kickass

[faint yacht]

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

[dense adder]

Does it next require something special when use with not
if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.scoring_hand and not next(context.poker_hands["High Card"]) then

[wintry solar]

That will always be false

[dense adder]

indeed it has

i have realised my mistake

[gentle rain]

:33< are red suits republicans and black suits democrats

[high sinew]

whats the way again for having context scoring to look for any hand with a pair instead of this where it checks if it is a pair

this code only triggers if hand is pair i want it to be any hand containing pair

[gentle rain]

:33< have you checked how the pair/two pair jokers or spare trousers does it?

[high sinew]

where are the jokers in the balatro code?

[dense adder]

card.lua

[high sinew]

thank you 🙂

[thorn flame]

its all george bush deck

there were two decks made

one for bush and one for kerry

[gentle rain]

:33< id recommend opening the extracted balatro folder in vs code so that you can ctrl-shift-f to search for a given phrase in all files

[gentle rain]

:33< i c

[high sinew]

i have it lol just didnt know where jokers are usually reference modded jokers it defines same way so im assuming im good

or wait u gotta do all hands dont u

[hushed arrow]

how do I find the object key of an existing card? for example is the object key for hanging chad "j_hanging_chad" or "Hanging Chad"?

[thorn flame]

i do NOT endorse george bush

To clarify

[lethal stratus]

how do i check for face cards?

(upgrade sequence not written, the if is just confusing me)

[glad osprey]

every time you type that I just get reminded of this 😭

[lethal stratus]

?

[glad osprey]

you forgot a comma

[lethal stratus]

thats not

[glad osprey]

oh

[lethal stratus]

the question 😭

[glad osprey]

i see

card:is_face()

[twin basin]

im really confused on how to make a custom booster pack,
can someone send me example code?

[glad osprey]

best I can do is pray for you 🙏

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/others/Boosters.lua

[twin basin]

oh ;w;

thank you :)

[brisk rose]

This is one from prism I sent before as an example

[glad osprey]

booster packs are strangely difficult to make

[lethal stratus]

for card is face does it apply to all 5 cards, i need to check if any of the cards aren't face

[red flower]

no, you need to iterate through the list yourself

[glad osprey]

...it checks whatever card you give it

[lethal stratus]

what is the condition called for number of cards played

[brisk rose]

You might need to count them yourself? Idk just guessing

[glad osprey]

not :is_face()

[lethal stratus]

no i know that

[glad osprey]

oh wait

#G.play.cards

I thought you were asking how to check if a card was a numbered card

[lethal stratus]

no i know how to do that part

the issue is iterating through play.cards

[fluid lagoon]

I had a thought, a deck customization that changes the face cards when they become wild card enhancement. Is there any way for that right now or no?

[shut crater]

I'll do you one better, open the lovely/dump folder in your Mods folder and you'll get to see all the SMODS-patched code. Or better yet, open the whole dang Mods folder and it'll recognize all the SMODS and vanilla functions and link them with your code files

[glad osprey]

for x =1, #G.play.cards do

[lethal stratus]

thank you

[glad osprey]

what does this even mean

[lethal stratus]

uhh how do i type the loop specific check for a face card im tweaking

(specifically how do i check in general Card x)

[glad osprey]

G.play.cards[x]

[fluid lagoon]

the thought is maybe when a card get the wild card effect, there could be custom face card art if it is posible

[glad osprey]

there's no built in functionality for that but I'm sure it wouldn't be impossible to make it yourself

[fluid lagoon]

oh ok

[quartz ravine]

Let me know if you’d like a few working examples of boosters to help you

[glad osprey]

I got them working eventually I just have no clue how so I wouldn't ever be able to do it again

[quartz ravine]

I’d like to add a new ux call out tonahndle crediting folks who contributed joker art to my mod, does anyone have tips on adding new ux info queue items?

I was thinking something similar to the sticker callout

[glad osprey]

localization file

[quartz ravine]

I like it. That’s exactly what I have in mind

[twin basin]

how do i add a custom rarity to a joker

[glad osprey]

rarity = "<mod prefix>_<rarity key>"

[quartz ravine]

Which mod is this? I’d love to see how you did it

[lethal stratus]

this if isnt working

[glad osprey]

not:is_face() does not exist

[chrome widget]

This is from Cardsauce, but it's done like this:

```info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = "csau_artistcredit", set = "Other", vars = { G.csau_team.gote }}``

The localization string is this, under descriptions.Other

    name = "Artist",
    text = {
        "{E:1}#1#{}"
    },
},```

[lethal stratus]

oh doy i need to not the checkj

[chrome widget]

And I'm just feeding in the artist as a variable from a table

[red flower]

not G.play.cards[x]:is_face()

[lethal stratus]

this isnt working at all atm

probably forgot to upgrade it 😭

[glad osprey]

do return not break

break simply leaves the for loop

[lethal stratus]

do i return mult = 0

[glad osprey]

Just dont return anything

also set the cards mult to 0 when a card is found to be face

assuming it works like obelisk

[lethal stratus]

no this is face cards increment

[glad osprey]

og tea

[quartz ravine]

Wow, thank you! This is a super detailed sample you gave ❤️

[lethal stratus]

numbers do not

[glad osprey]

set mult to 0 when a number card is found

[oblique pond]

not sure what's going wrong here to make the joker's description not show up (the jokers effect works perfectly)
think i messed something up in the text or loc vars

[glad osprey]

wdym the description doesn't show up

like

Just no description?

[oblique pond]

pure white, ill get a screenshot rq

[glad osprey]

oh wait

loc_txt

not loc_text

[oblique pond]

thank you

[lethal stratus]

turns out the joker_main having the check is a bad place for it

at least i think so

[glad osprey]

look at how ride the bus works

that's basically what yours is right

[lethal stratus]

ye

i keep forgetting the base game code exists

[glad osprey]

how else do you think we're able to play it

[lethal stratus]

😭

[brisk rose]

So I have a question, if a mod's jokers don't have mod badges is it likely because they're suppressing it intentionally or just missing badge_color or smth?

I have some jokers without badges and I hate it

Idk why anyone would do that on ourpose

I mean in my mod load out, not made by me

[glad osprey]

are they vanilla jokers

[brisk rose]

Lmfao, no. I would know, I did play the game for a month or so unmodded

[glad osprey]

did you play it tho

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1351648094642503830/1365302257108914266/image-70au7.gif-ezgif.com-webp-to-gif-converter.gif

[brisk rose]

Yes, for probably at least 100 hr

I unlocked everything besides all the stakes for every deck

[quartz ravine]

@chrome widget

Thank you so much! I felt like getting attribution squared away was the last thing I neded to ship this thing!

[chrome widget]

Nods nods!!

[brisk rose]

Ayyy, finna be a new mod for my pack

[glad osprey]

dear modpack creators
please tell people who's mod your adding to your modpack that you are adding that mod to your modpack

[quartz ravine]

Cool, I hope you like it! 🦝

[brisk rose]

Before, this only mostly happened if a mod was really old and hacked the jokers in manually, but I don't have any like that anymore

[glad osprey]

or else i will steal your teeth

[brisk rose]

I mean... I admit I don't always but that's because I add literally every mod I play with. If I get complaints I deal with them respectably

[hushed arrow]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('hanging_chad', -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
    config = {extra = 5},
    },
    false -- silent | suppresses mod badge
)

why isnt this increasing the retrigger count of hanging chad?

[quartz ravine]

Dear god! 5 retriggers!!!

[glad osprey]

I want to know when my mods get added so that i am aware that people enjoy them enough to share them 🙏

[hushed arrow]

just a test

[glad osprey]

I don't think it automatically checks for that value maybe

[twin basin]

how do i make a specific list of jokers show up in a booster pack?

[quartz ravine]

gotchu fam

[brisk rose]

Very fair. I don't have tmd atm, but if it's just a mod that adds decks, I ought to

[oblique pond]

question: how would i go about updating a value on buying something (most importantly a voucher being redeemed)
currently trying to make a "current money given" thing\

[lethal stratus]

upgrades regardless, only sends mult if face card

idk why

[hushed arrow]

this works for like jimbo though because I can change the mult it gives on that but doesnt work on hanging chad for some reason

[lethal stratus]

doesnt reset either

[brisk rose]

Can you be more specific?

[quartz ravine]

So I have a function to only get jokers I added in the mod. So this booster has only the jokers I created in my own mod

SMODS.Booster({
    object_type = "Booster",
    key = "FickleFoxCollection",
    kind = "Jokers",
    atlas = "FoxModBoosters",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = 4, choose = 1 },
    cost = 10,
    order = 3,
    weight = 0.96,
    create_card = function(self, card)
        local randomFoxJoker = getRandomFoxJoker()
        print(randomFoxJoker)
        local getCard = create_card("Joker", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, randomFoxJoker, "Fox")
        sendInfoMessage("creating cards for this pack", self.key)               

        return getCard
    end,
    ease_background_colour = function(self)
        ease_colour(G.C.DYN_UI.MAIN, G.C.BLUE)
        ease_background_colour({ new_colour = G.C.SET.PURPLE, special_colour = G.C.BLACK, contrast = 2 })
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.config.center.config.choose, card.ability.extra } }
    end,
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Fickle Fox Booster",
        text = {
            "Choose {C:attention}#1#{} of",
            "up to {C:attention}#2# Fickle Fox Jokers{}",
        },
    },
    group_key = "FickleFoxBooster",
})

[lethal stratus]

bump

[quartz ravine]

If you want to do something similar, then you can use these two functions

function getResourceWithPrefix(s)
    local results = {}
    for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
        if StartsWith(k, s) then 
            print(k)
            table.insert(results ,k)
        end
    end
    return results
 end


function getRandomFoxJoker()
    print("getting a random fox joker")
    local allFoxJokers = getResourceWithPrefix("j_Fox")
    print ("received list of " .. #allFoxJokers)
    local randomJoker = allFoxJokers[math.random(#allFoxJokers)]

    print ("random joker shall be ".. randomJoker)

    return randomJoker
end

[oblique pond]

specifically, trying to make it so when you buy a voucher, the joker will do a calcuate function to update the amount of money you're getting out of it (so essentially what context do i check for in a calculate() function for a voucher buy)

[brisk rose]

So sorry if this is awkward, but can that be disabled? It's just kinda weird with so many mods if one singles itself out like that with its own joker packs

[oblique pond]

perhaps do a config for that, i'm pretty sure togas does that too

[glad osprey]

it is

[quartz ravine]

If you want it to only have certain jokers, then you could do this, change the create_card to this. For this example, it would make a booster pack full of golden jokers, lol

local getCard = create_card("Joker", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, true, true, j_golden, "Fox")
  sendInfoMessage("creating cards for this pack", self.key)               

  return getCard

[glad osprey]

it does technically add other things but those are deck-specific

[glad osprey]

midas pack:

[quartz ravine]

That is on my menu! Adding Configs to turn off custom sound effects or disable things like the custom boosters

[brisk rose]

Bettma's has collector which lowers the blind requirement by 4% for each voucher redeemed

[oblique pond]

nvm, context.buying_card should do the trick. will look at that if things go less than well

[brisk rose]

Ayy, nice, modularity is king

[glad osprey]

this is how making ui feels

[brisk rose]

There seems to already be a G.game variable for vouchers_bought?

[glad osprey]

that wouldn't activate anything when a voucher is bought tho

[brisk rose]

It seemed like they just wanted something to change based on how many vouchers had been bought. I might have gotten a bit confused

[glad osprey]

from my understanding they wanted to calculate something when vouchers where bought

[oblique pond]

yeah i did NOT explain that well
i had the thing working right, i just needed to update the joker so I could update the amount of money shown on the joker
think ive got it now dw

[quartz ravine]

You could write a lovely patch for common_events and patch in to line 1362

Just adding that onto to G.GAME as another var would be the easiest way. This is pretty much what I did to publish the ToDo list hand as a global variable

[brisk rose]

Oh I see... so yeah you just needed a context to force the update

Makes sense

[quartz ravine]

oh, nevermind, sounds like you solved it!

[oblique pond]

making my one crash sacrifice to not adding a comma per change

[twin basin]

i got this :(

[brisk rose]

StartsWith seems to either be their function or loaded from a lua library

[hushed arrow]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('hanging_chad',
    {
    config = {extra = 5},
    },
    false
)

why isnt this causing hanging chad to retrigger more times? the text on the joker doesnt change too unlike for jimbo

[oblique pond]

it doesn't crash when hovering over it so that's good

[twin basin]

the problem is i dont even know what it does qwq

[brisk rose]

I presume it's the same type of thing as this startswith function, but is obviously different because of the capitalization

https://gist.github.com/kgriffs/124aae3ac80eefe57199451b823c24ec

[oblique pond]

had a slight issue with a crash upon exiting the blind but it works absolutely perfectly now, gg
it's also really strong especially with decks that give you vouchers like zodiac deck

[sleek siren]

How can I edit values of a joker in an outside function? I'm trying to make a joker animate

[glad osprey]

animate how

like an animated atlas?

[brisk rose]

Look at #1249486500811378718 ?

[brisk rose]

If this

[glad osprey]

or just swap it from one sprite to another when a condition is met

[sleek siren]

I did, although I'm still confused

It calls for SMODS.Jokers although it's a nil value for some reason

[quartz ravine]

oh my god those look amazing

[glad osprey]

@scarlet thorn

[scarlet thorn]

?

[glad osprey]

animated joker moment

[scarlet thorn]

yea

ive known about that

[quartz ravine]

oh yeah, I also wrote a startsWith, since lua doesn't have one. Sorry.

function StartsWith(String,Start)
    return string.sub(String,1,string.len(Start))==Start
 end

[quartz ravine]

I've got a working example of a Joker who swaps states. But not animating. LMK if you'd like to see

[sleek siren]

Sure! ^^ I'll likely use that later

This is what I was given

sorry for long message

[quartz ravine]

Ignore a lot of this, it has some pretty inefficient code but it works

The section that deals with swapping states is here

if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and context.scoring_name == card.ability.to_do_poker_hand then
            sendInfoMessage("YU-GI_OH")
            local cards = context.scoring_hand
            
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip(); play_sound('card1', percent);
                    card.config.center.pos.x = card.ability.activecoord
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3); return true
                end
            }))
            play_sound('Fox_yourMove', 1);
            
            delay(0.3)
            card.ability.active = true
            
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.15,
                func = function()
                    card:flip(); play_sound('card1', percent);
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.3); return true
                end
            }))     
            delay(0.5)
        end

In my case, I flip the card, then change its texture and flip it back.

[sleek siren]

Thanks! ^^

[quartz ravine]

I store the two coords in the cards own config section so I am not dealing with setting coords in the body

[scarlet thorn]

Aura uses a very similar method as the one I use, but much more fleshed out then just changing the pos

[fluid lagoon]

so with stuff looks like it changed again for putting in custom deck customizations, how is it done now?

[brisk rose]

Y know I just realized it might be a bit strange that I use git itself exclusively through cli, but any actual github features like pull requests or releases, I just open my web browser though I'm almost sure you can do literally everything through either git or gh cli

[fluid lagoon]

is there a guild on how to do deck skins for deck customizations like the friend of jimbo?

[sleek siren]

How can I tell what position a joker is in the joker slots?

[daring fern]

Iterate over G.jokers.cards until you find it then store the index.

[sleek siren]

Thanks! ^^

[brisk rose]

I was gonna say that was a hacky way to have to do it, but then I realized if the position was stored in the card, conflicts would very easily arise

[manic rune]

its not hacky, its literally how blueprint works

and brainstorm too

[daring fern]

No, it just checks for G.jokers.cards[1]

[manic rune]

true, but it doesnt differ much from taking a position in G.jokers.cards

[brisk rose]

I meant base game hacky not mod hacky

But then I realized it's better than the alternative

[manic rune]

they probably think that if the position gets switched around during scoring or something then it might cause conflicts and such, but it really wont

:p

[brisk rose]

I know that... I said the alternative of storing the position as a value on the card would actually be what would cause conflicts easily

I /was gonna/ say the way to do it was hacky until I reasoned the alternative is stupid

[manic rune]

oh, misunderstood what you said, my bad

i just woke up, sorry 🥀

[brisk rose]

You're good :3

[crisp coral]

its 12pm fym youve just woke up

[manic rune]

im literally brushing my teeth rn myst

[brisk rose]

I woke up at 4:40 pm today, lol

[manic rune]

i love sleeping ❤️

[brisk rose]

I'm so committed to the bit as to actually be a nocturne

[manic rune]

that can't be healthy, i thought waking up at 12 pm is bad enough already 😭

[brisk rose]

I mean... my circadian rhythm is my bitch ngl

[sturdy compass]

I have officially hit the 150 Joker goal

Just gotta wait on art

[manic rune]

why did i think that was a joker showcase vid

----- MOD CODE END -----

do i need to make a new atlas per deck?

[manic rune]

did you create SMODS.Atlas for luckydeck and bonusdeck?

[brisk rose]

No but you need to give the same atlas if they use the same

[daring heron]

oh alright

[daring fern]

How does one get the chip value of the playing cards to right if it is being blueprinted by more than 1 blueprint?

[daring heron]

so would it be better to create multiple?

[brisk rose]

And make sure the pos is correct

[brisk rose]

I think that's a personal preference thing

[daring heron]

i will then, thanks

[brisk rose]

I like having multiple things on the sane atlas so I can just... look at them but probably more consistent to keep it seperate

[manic rune]

:get_chip_bonus()

[daring fern]

No, that only works if the card to the right is the original playing card.

[manic rune]

🤔

u can try storing the card the blueprint is storing, then checks the stored card's chips?

[daring fern]

I tried that, didn't work.

[manic rune]

wha

HM

why doesn't it work though, thats weird

could it be because while the blueprint next to a playing card stores properly, the other blueprint stores the blueprint next to it instead of storing the playing card?

[daring heron]

wow, already have 270 lines of code

anyway, how would i replace this to make it give foil cards instead of lucky cards

[daring fern]

chosen:set_edition('e_foil')

[manic rune]

:set_edition("e_foil")

jnsns

dang im slow

[daring heron]

and how do i make the deck look like a foil card

[brisk rose]

Yknow... it's it even accurate to call Balatro.exe a binary? It's more just a folder full of code that luajit jit-compiles

Just a 'shower thought'

[daring heron]

oh god the sound when you start a run with foil deck

[daring heron]

i just wanna apply the foil shader to the deck itself

[daring fern]

You can turn it off if you want.

[daring heron]

idunno if people will find the sound of 13 foil cards annoying

[brisk rose]

That's kinda skipping over love2d but that doesn't really change the calculus

[daring fern]

Just change the inputs of set_edition to 'e_foil', true, true

[daring heron]

nice, now how do i give the deck a foil shader

is that something you can even do?

[daring fern]

Yes.

Cryptid does it.

[daring heron]

havent played cryptid much

so how do i do it?

[daring fern]

I'm not sure but it's somewhere in here:

[daring heron]

i cant even read that 😭

thats so much code

hm..

[daring fern]

It's probably this though:

[daring heron]

hmm..

i still dont know which part of that applies the shader

[daring fern]

draw_shader

[daring heron]

do i just add that to the code? or do i need smth else

this doesnt seem to crash it, but it also doesnt apply the shader

don't mind the negative, i just wanted to test that out

well, if anyone knows, please tell me

[daring fern]

Foil should be the dark_edition colour.

Not your issue though.

[daring heron]

in the description?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring heron]

i thought that was only for negatives

[daring fern]

You need to put it into a draw function.

[daring fern]

It's for all editions.

[daring heron]

then whats edition for

[daring heron]

oh

[daring heron]

how do i do that?

[daring fern]

Nevermind you have to put it in SMODS.DrawStep

[daring heron]

and how do i do that 😔

[daring fern]

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

[daring heron]

okay, but how and where do i put it

sorry lol, i started learning lua like 2 days ago

[daring fern]

Anywhere in your code but outside of everything.

[daring heron]

everything?

[daring fern]

Try putting it above where you define your deck.

[daring heron]

between here?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring heron]

okay, well i still have no idea what to put there lol

[daring fern]

Is it possible to prevent cards from being destroyed?

[brisk rose]

There's a chance I'm very impulsive

[daring heron]

-# so does anyone know how i can apply the foil shader to one of my decks
