[manic rune]

very hard to achieve

[vocal cedar]

i would need to make them like

say

retrigger if played

or something

i might

[daring fern]

Why did you nerf them though?

[vocal cedar]

because otherwise there is NO reason to use them except eclusivelt strenghening them to a king plopping a red seal on and then running the same boring ass mime baron run

they also make reaching ante 39 absolutely a cakewalk

no skill required

[manic rune]

you need to make it so negative cards give something when played too

[vocal cedar]

just perkeo and a death lol

have fun kids

[daring fern]

Yes, but are you making it so that if your mod is present negative playing cards are bad?

[vocal cedar]

its gonna be a config option that is turned on if my mod is alone, and immediatly turned off if included with other mods

atm

i dont really give a damm about other peoples mods just yet

sure

i want compatability eventually

but rn

[thorn flame]

they can

[vocal cedar]

this is just for me and my buds lol

[thorn flame]

megative is an edition

[vocal cedar]

scoring editions*

my b

most likely

my mods presence will make negative cards ALWAYS score (think like a stone card) and nerd their interactions with mime and baron in some way

[hushed field]

I think negative playing cards are inherently a very Cryptid design. Hard to play design around due to in any card game, drawing more cards is always the most powerful thing you can do

[vocal cedar]

yeo

i want to balance them somehow

ill figure it out

[manic rune]

thats likely why negative playing cards never made it to vanilla

[crisp coral]

but what if I'm playing UNO

[manic rune]

they are busted

[vocal cedar]

making them always score is a start

but making them less effective as steels or with baron will hopefully keep ante 39 an actual challenge

im also redoing the legendaries to make them scale much better in endgame so they stick around for longer

and are less busted earlues

[manic rune]

ygo players willing to sacrifice half of their liver for draw +2 cards:

[vocal cedar]

yeah

well i just ran a 100 wheel of fortune test

about 85 of the wheels hit foil holo, 9 hit poly 6 hit irid

thats pretty okay for me

[vocal cedar]

heres the other thing

only way your getting negative cards in my mod is through an EXTREMELY lucky standard or ghost (which i reworked)

Turns up to 3 cards negative, -1 Discard

might nerf bro to 2 cards negative

i gotta play another game with him

anyway

either 1 in 2 chance to retrigger negative played cards or make negative played cards always score

[manic rune]

you could make it so cards that copy neg cards wont receive the neg edition

[vocal cedar]

see

now thats a good fucking idea

like death and cryptid wouldnt copy negative?

oooh shit

[manic rune]

mhm

[vocal cedar]

thats GREAT

i can leave mime and baron unchanged

and still buff them when played as well

ooooh

might make them slightly more prevalent in standards too then

i already have a joker that has a 1 in 10 chance to turn played cards negative as well lol

anyway

i

i go bed

night fellas

[manic rune]

nighty

[brisk rose]

I'm finna be up like 30+ hours myself. I've been up since 3pm yesterday and it's 8an with a whole day and night ahead of me

[willow plinth]

[chilly hull]

trying to make a sixth sense -esque card but it creates a negative spectral on an 8 instead, but it crashes when playing an 8

[daring fern]

Do context.destroy_card instead.

[chilly hull]

yeah i did but then the timing is wrong, it destroyes before the score is even counted

[daring fern]

When do you want it to happen?

[chilly hull]

same time as sixth sense does

[daring fern]

That's context.destroy_card

[chilly hull]

but the source code for it is incomprehensible

[red flower]

do this but don't use start_dissolve

return { remove = true }

[chilly hull]

does it play the dissolve animation too?

[red flower]

yes

[chilly hull]

how do i get it to target the 8?

[red flower]

context.destroy_card:get_id() == 8

[shut crater]

What if negative playing cards give +0.5 hand size lol

It's absolutely cursed but actually kinda balanced

[manic rune]

still falls under the problem of making negative playing cards worse for all mods too, and i think that should be avoided if possible

[lapis gorge]

how in the actual fuck do you make a button

and how do i position it

[manic rune]

for a card, or for uis?

[lapis gorge]

i need a button below where it says the ante

[manic rune]

if the former then i suggest looking into how joyousspring does it

oh

try checking almanac then

the code is in its lovely patch

-# good luck btw

[lapis gorge]

i'm gonna need it

why is ui so confusing???!??!?

[manic rune]

ui

:3

[lapis gorge]

[modern kindle]

i see besties in chat rn

[red flower]

joyousspring mentioned

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

hi N =]

[shut crater]

What do you mean by that

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

hi bepis!

[shut crater]

I didn't read the whole 8 hours I missed so I might be missing context

[manic rune]

some mods do utilize neg playing cards, like joyousspring (i think) and lcorp's apoc bird joker

[shut crater]

Ah

[manic rune]

if their mod were to nerf neg cards, then it would also affect those mods

thats not a good thing imo

[shut crater]

Then just add a separate half-negative edition 🧠

(I understand the design problem at hand)

[red flower]

(I don't understand the design problem at hand)

[chilly hull]

funny bug, it generates now but i can place them everywhere

[manic rune]

😭

you didnt emplace them

[shut crater]

Multiple mods implementing the same idea with different levels of impact on gameplay

[red flower]

use SMODS.add_card

[red flower]

just make people not want to play your mod with others easy

[chilly hull]

wait it isnt SMODS.create_card?

[red flower]

add_card emplaces it for you

[shut crater]

Every time I see people making the same common mistakes I take another step closer toward making a balatro modding tutorial series

But docs 2.0 is a thing (?)

[chilly hull]

it is?

[shut crater]

Not yet but I think it's in the works

Maybe

Don't quote me on that

[dapper sun]

i'm trying to make my enhancement do something when played but it's triggering for every card instead of just itself

adding a context.other_card == card check just makes it not work at all

[red flower]

please

[brisk rose]

Another retina hater

[dapper sun]

i'm too lazy to turn np++ dark mode on,, ,

there

[manic rune]

oh my god please

i will absolutely link your series to the top of #1349064230825103441 too

i wanted to make one a few weeks, or months ago - but my pc is so trash 😭

[chilly hull]

its gettting better but it destroys tthe 8 + entire hand and creates 8 spectral cards

[daring fern]

You need to check if context.cardarea == G.play

[red flower]

also create the card in another context, and dont put it in the return

[chilly hull]

yeah i put it there because i thoughtt it might lsolve the issue

[wintry solar]

Or use context.destroying_card

[dapper sun]

turns out the card thingy was working fine, but

it's not updating the /52 in the corner

[chilly hull]

it works, but i only summon incantations

wait sixth sense also only summons incantations

[dapper sun]

what does ur spectral collection look like rn?

[chilly hull]

everything unlocked

[manic rune]

huh

[dapper sun]

damn idk then

[manic rune]

why does this take up one consumable slot??

😭

[chilly hull]

restarted with the same seed and its fixed now

[manic rune]

i mean

why doesnt it increase consumeable card limit by one

thats odd

[brisk rose]

Negative in name only

[manic rune]

it doesnt decrease when i destroy the card too

[dapper sun]

how do i update the card count after adding cards to the deck?

[manic rune]

but it works WHEN i duplicate it

what.

??

[brisk rose]

How are you making it negative?

[manic rune]

:set_edition("e_negative",true)

it works for the fool

[dapper sun]

nvmd i got it lol

[brisk rose]

Do you have other mods installed? That might be messing with planets?

[manic rune]

nop

it actually affects the emperor too

they both use this

...hm

im gonna try something

nvm this doesnt work too, whats going on 😭

my the fool's code uses create_card instead of SMODS.create_card, i wonder if theres any difference between those

[worthy stirrup]

How can i make sure my joker only checks for hand amount in game but not the menu?

I need to have my code be done in the update function so keep that in mind lol

[maiden river]

if you're just updating text, you don't actually need it to use update; you can just put the logic in loc_vars (assuming there's not a lot of logic)

[worthy stirrup]

I’m changing the art

[maiden river]

oh, I see

[manic rune]

oh hey

[worthy stirrup]

How do I check how many hands the player has

[wintry solar]

Most players have two hands

[maiden river]

that's G.GAME.round_resets.hands

[maiden river]

true!

[worthy stirrup]

I’m gonna start sobbing and I’m blaming you /j

[manic rune]

wait

is it because i was missing card:add_to_deck() the entire time, actually

[worthy stirrup]

Sorry, does this change based on if a player has played a hand?

[manic rune]

oh

oh damn, you need :add_to_deck() for neg to register its effect

:p

[daring fern]

Couldn't you just use SMODS.add_card?

[manic rune]

i forgor

idk why i was using SMODS.create_card tbh, i think it was because i saw the add_joker and my head immediately said no since i thought it wasnt for that purpose :p

[maiden river]

oh the current hands
that's G.GAME.current_round.hands_left

[worthy stirrup]

Thank you

[maiden river]

how do you add a shader to a card (like invis)
wanna make a card of mine a lil shiny

[manic rune]

im guessing card.children.center:draw_shader("voucher",nil,card.ARGS.send_to_shader)

[maiden river]

l-l-l-looking in the source code??????
I'm simply allergic

[shell timber]

you can put that in the draw function on your card

[manic rune]

dang

[chilly hull]

spectral cards are added as sooon as the 8 is played, instead they should be added when the 8 is destroyed

[hard needle]

how can i create a random tag 🤔

[manic rune]

use events

[hard needle]

oh wa

i

n vm

[manic rune]

G.P_CENTER_POOL.Tag should have all the tags in the game, try using that with pseudorandom_element or somethin

[maiden river]

yahoo

[hard needle]

wait a minute

whats the point of this lmao

[maiden river]

boredom

[manic rune]

does this just

stack on and on

[maiden river]

yup

[manic rune]

can you even die with that

[maiden river]

hmm

good question

time to find out

[shut crater]

I think it would be spelled resurrector

[manic rune]

you could make it so that the card becomes eternal upon the first revival

[maiden river]

probably

[manic rune]

then after reviving you 3 times or something

it stops reviving

:p

[maiden river]

we did it

[manic rune]

😭

that aint mr.bones 🥀

[shut crater]

Every time it revives it eats 15 cards, game ends when your deck is gone

[maiden river]

oh

or -1 hand size

[shut crater]

That works too

[manic rune]

is there a way to tell how much blind size the joker increased without needing to have it though

i think its nice to have a way to tell somehow

[hard needle]

Saves you from game over but 1 in 30 chance to game over at end of round

[manic rune]

that might as well be a legendary joker 🥀

[maiden river]

I mean
you could look at the blinds page and calculate it yourself

[manic rune]

😭

[maiden river]

it's just division

[manic rune]

b-but

maths

[maiden river]

you're playing balala 😭

[shut crater]

Saves you from death but 1 in 6 chance to become Gros Michel

[manic rune]

-# who am i kidding, i literally got this

[hard needle]

local t = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Tag, pseudoseed('htgfefrhjekrfr'))

add_tag(t)

i get an error "attempt to call method 'generate_UI'"? i'm probably doing something wrong

[red flower]

what about add_tag(Tag(t.key))

[manic rune]

yeah, that

-# damn it i was about to say :(

[red flower]

too slow

[hard needle]

yeah i was thinking that it had something to do with key

[worthy stirrup]

I get this crash whenever I try to load the joker in the middle of a game.

[manic rune]

can you show the code

[worthy stirrup]

i was about to

[hard needle]

hmm i wonder what happens if i make orbital tag

[manic rune]

uh

[worthy stirrup]

btw, i did leave out that } at the end, dw it is there in my code

[manic rune]

shouldnt you use card instead of self?

[worthy stirrup]

fuck

fair

i always forget lol

[daring fern]

Also update doesn't have context.

[manic rune]

^

[worthy stirrup]

how do i get context then

[daring fern]

Use calculate.

[hard needle]

uhhhhhhh that's not right xD

[worthy stirrup]

but i need my code to work on update, as it runs each frame

[hard needle]

i think i can loop through all visible hands then make it upgrade a random hand from that

arhrjghrkgejgegejgh

[bold sleet]

help, knowing the mod's prefix is fg and the enhancement is steel, how tf do I make this work?

[manic rune]

whats FG.cards.steel_mult

also - you should probably go through G.playing_cards instead of G.deck.cards

[maiden river]

we're so back (pun not intended)

[hard needle]

ehh

thats still 8 free saves

2-3 if youre being practical ig

[manic rune]

the punctuation

[maiden river]

old comma 😭

[bold sleet]

A variable. I need all cards with said enhancement to have the same mult, and so I used an external variable that does not depend on the card.

[maiden river]

first I can't spell, now I can't punctuate
damn I can't do anything

[manic rune]

you can use G.GAME in which case, no?

something like G.GAME.fg_steel_mult should work just fine

[bold sleet]

I preffer having every variable used by the mod under its own list.

[manic rune]

have you checked if FG.cards.steel_mult is saved when you re-enter the run

[runic pecan]

Is it possible to make a joker that acts the same as Showman but only when conditions are met?

[manic rune]

and you can have a table in G.GAME, if thats what you prefer

[bold sleet]

Everything that is added by said mod is under FG.<something>

[manic rune]

^

and also, whats the issue you are facing?

[bold sleet]

it doesn't even save idk what I am doing help

[manic rune]

yeah, exactly

everything in G.GAME is saved

[daring fern]

It should be.

[manic rune]

so i think if you want to avoid the trouble of having to somehow figuring out a way to save that - you can put everything in G.GAME

[runic pecan]

By the way sorry to off topic but holy moly I could barely recognize you, how long have I been away from there?

[manic rune]

G.GAME.FG as a table, then just add what you want in there

[glad osprey]

have it scale like ecto

[manic rune]

not too long, but i certainly havent seen u for a while lol

how u been?

[bold sleet]

...fuck now I have to re-write the entirety of the mod to put everything in there...

[manic rune]

oof

[maiden river]

for the people

[bold sleet]

What if I don't have overwatch 2?

[runic pecan]

Awful, three Holomems graduated in one single week. But I lived.

[maiden river]

it installs it

[hard needle]

i agree with this xD

[manic rune]

yeah i saw, gawr gura too right?

[daring fern]

What if you don't have a launcher?

[glad osprey]

why are the holograms graduating

were too many cards added

[runic pecan]

OK, that got me a bit of chuckles.

[maiden river]

deletes system32

or your home dir

[glad osprey]

hacks the mcdonalds in the pentagon

[maiden river]

removes raevyn from balatro modding-dev

[glad osprey]

finally

thought they were supposed to be downsides /j

[maiden river]

perish.

😭 a bunny gif just got automodded

oh I guess I just can't send gifs?

[shell timber]

gifs are No More

[glad osprey]

THERES NO WAY

the roffle blight has been killed

[shell timber]

never mind roffle blight is chill

[manic rune]

wha

WHY IS THE BUNNY GIF BLOCKED

[glad osprey]

jokes on you moderators, I've got png's!

[manic rune]

its this one 😭

-# actually i cant tell if thats a bunny or a weird ass dawg

[shell timber]

they blocked tenor and giphy iirc

[manic rune]

huh

weird

[hasty mist]

yeah

[shell timber]

this is in an effort to make chat more chill or whatever, look in chill chat

[hasty mist]

ah

[glad osprey]

ok so I can still send the gif

Just not from the website

[hasty mist]

it's not tenor or giphy

[manic rune]

more than half of my roffle blight gifs are gone

😭

[sturdy compass]

L

[worthy stirrup]

fr?

oh

[manic rune]

this one is fked up too

[shell timber]

just as a test

could you go to channels and roles and select "steam"

[glad osprey]

nothing changed

other then loosing the role

[shell timber]

get rid of all of those then try sending roffle blight

[glad osprey]

nada

[shell timber]

hm

[glad osprey]

it's not that deep 😭

[brisk rose]

Wait... did those fuckers do it?

Did they ban gifs?

[gilded goblet]

no more fun

[hard needle]

i think so yeah

[manic rune]

ack

[hard needle]

NOT EVEN STICKERS

[brisk rose]

That's what they were talking about in #🍌・thunk-chat earlier

[wintry solar]

why

[brisk rose]

Because thunk is a diva

[gilded goblet]

gbonna have to do it manual mode

[wintry solar]

Now I can’t post my Elmo wizard 😭

[brisk rose]

And he doesn't like gifs

[gilded goblet]

that is what's banned already lmao

[agile dew]

am i using other_card right or is it only used in repetition contexts?

[sturdy compass]

There is a lot to unpack here lol

First, you wouldn’t return a set_edition call. Just leave it in the conditional on its own

Second, you might want to check for context.individual as well (or loop through context.scoring_hand in context.before)

[manic rune]

god

ive been so sidetracked that i didnt get any new spectral skills working 😭

[agile dew]

what does context.individual check for?

[exotic sluice]

I want to make my own deck. But like a standard deck of all 7s. How can I do that?

[daring fern]

You would iterate over G.playing_cards and change the rank to 7 in apply.

[exotic sluice]

So I’m very much a noob. what does that mean?

[modern kindle]

hi something 👋

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly

[modern kindle]

dont freakin think react me smh

hi vic!!!!

how are you!

[agile dew]

is this better?

[digital niche]

it isnt returning when held in hand

[subtle hawk]

Was there a context for card triggering when card is removed? Like for discards AND moving to deck at the end of the round

[agile dew]

context.destroy_card?

[crystal perch]

i think you gotta just add a bunch of and's

[zealous glen]

I'm doing good-ish and you

[modern kindle]

ive had a very stressful time lately, but im trying my best

[zealous glen]

I hope you'll have an easier time soon. But it's good to hear you're trying your best :)

[subtle hawk]

Yeah that I think, thanks

[modern kindle]

i hope so too
at least i have cool people in here to chat with 😎

[crystal perch]

anyone know how i can get the number of how many cards of a certain suit you have in hand

not something like context.individual, i need the number

[manic rune]

run through G.hand.cards, check each card manually

[crystal perch]

could i get an example of what that line would look like please

not the most familar with lua

[manic rune]

for _,v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
   --do stuff to check v's suit here
end

im on phone rn so cant help much, sorry

[crystal perch]

thank you

[agile dew]

bump, i want played stone cards to get upgraded editions (Foil -> Holo -> Poly)

[daring fern]

Do you want it to stop at polychrome or keep going?

[agile dew]

stopping at poly

[azure stone]

First draft 👀

[zealous glen]

ohh

[shut crater]

Does a joker cause this effect or something else?

[agile dew]

im planning to add another one that also includes negatives and does something, but for now this one will stop at polys

[agile dew]

not that i know of

im using if statements to check the edition individually

[shut crater]

I mean how are you trying to implement it

[agile dew]

^^^

[shut crater]

Do you just permanently want all stone cards to do this all the time?

[agile dew]

as long as the joker is there yes

[shut crater]

Ok so you do want this to be from a joker

Got it

What does it do right now

Does any part of it work?

[crystal perch]

i think i messed up a bit 😭

[agile dew]

it doesnt crash at least

but it does nothing

[subtle hawk]

Is there no documentation for SMODS.ConsumableType?

[shut crater]

Right now you're calling SMODS.has_enhancement with card, which refers to the joker. So you're checking if the joker has the stone enhancement

You need to pass in the played card instead

[agile dew]

which is other_card?

[maiden river]

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

[subtle hawk]

Ah

Thanks!

[agile dew]

how do i do this?

i tried this, nothing

[daring fern]

Remove context.cardarea == G.play

[agile dew]

crash

[daring fern]

What is line 448?

[agile dew]

this function

[agile dew]

its related to smods' enhancement check

maybe its because im somehow checking has_enhancement wrongly?

[maiden phoenix]

context.v doesn't exist, just check for v.edition

[agile dew]

okay it works, but not while checking other editions

adding the other two checks crashes the game with this message

[daring fern]

e_holographic should be e_holo

[maiden phoenix]

Same for edition.holographic, should be edition.holo

[agile dew]

oh damn

ill try it

it works!

i had to inverse the if statements so they wouldnt all trigger one after another

i forgot it was checking the card the entire time

this is the final code!

[brisk rose]

How hard do you think a palletizing shader would be to code. Just in general ignoring that I've never coded a mod let alone a shader

Specifically the idea is to snap the colors to the 256 color vga pallate

[brisk rose]

So 8 bit rgb I guess

[shell timber]

uh, i guess you could go through the array of colours and select the closest one though that'd be pretty slow

this has probably been done before

[karmic arch]

like this? idk about 256

[brisk rose]

That's just quantization, right? I mean providing a pallete

https://reshade.me/forum/shader-presentation/4431-heres-a-palletizer-shader

Like this

[karmic arch]

ye (if i correct)

you can copy if you want:

[shell timber]

the issue with that as written is that it calls an if a bunch of times which tends to be slow in shaders

[languid mirage]

*256, then cast to int (or round)
then /256

[daring heron]

how would i make a deck that doubles all the cards at the start?

pretty much just duplicating each card at the beginning

[languid mirage]

nvm, just read few msg higher and that doesn't make sense

[karmic arch]

palette of 256 can be made easily by simply dividing the entire value of red, green, and blue into three pixels and then rounding it up

a

[daring heron]

???

wrong channel dude

[worthy stirrup]

my sound crashes the game, i dont know why

SMODS.Sound {
    key = "DoomHurt",
    path = {['Hurt'] = 'hurt.ogg'}
 }
-- skipping to where audio is played --
calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            card.ability.extra.chips = (G.GAME.current_round.hands_left + 1) * 30
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                play_sound("Hurt")
            }
        end
    end,

[marble flint]

These ifs will get compiled to something like var x = dist < min_dist; min_dist = x * dist + (1 - x) * min_dist; and the loop is fine because it's uniform (and in fact comptime, which is even better). The biggest issue i can see is number of registers used (which this is Balatro, so who cares) and compile times due to length (see previous parentheses)

[karmic arch]

prefix?

[daring fern]

Path should just be hurt.ogg you also should just do sound = "prefix_DoomHurt" in the return.

[worthy stirrup]

ah, thank you

my prefix is FFF, im doing FFF_Hurt, but i hear no noise

oh, wait, doomhurt

oops

Still no noise

this is what i have now

SMODS.Sound {
    key = "DoomHurt",
    path = "hurt.ogg"
 }
-- once again skipping to when sound is played -- 
 calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            card.ability.extra.chips = (G.GAME.current_round.hands_left + 1) * 30
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                sound = "FFF_DoomHurt"
            }
        end
    end,

[shut crater]

"authentic" 8 bit rgb would require you to quantize red, green, and blue separately to one of 2^3, 2^3, or 2^2 values, respectively. Which would look something like (int)(red * 7) / 7 or (int)(blue * 3) / 3 (accounting for 0 as one of the quantized values)

[bold sleet]

From G.joker.cards[i], how can I get the edition (key) of any given card?

[shut crater]

unless you plan on using a color palette in which case I have no idea how you'd find the nearest palette value on a per-pixel basis

[daring fern]

G.jokers.cards[i].edition.key

[worthy stirrup]

i still need help :3

[bold sleet]

ty

[shut crater]

I have no idea how sounds work but is the sound effect in the root folder of your project?

cause your path is just the filename

[worthy stirrup]

its in the right place

[shut crater]

that's all I got lol

[celest timber]

how can i show text on screen whenever you draw cards? just like the text below

[daring fern]

Is it in root/assets/sounds?

[worthy stirrup]

yes

[primal echo]

why is music pitch shifted and how much do i need to change it by to correct it?

[daring fern]

You can just put pitch = 1 in your sound I think and it will do that for you.

[primal echo]

yeah that works thanks

[azure stone]

Anyone have ideas on what this could do?

[karmic arch]

look like consumable

[unborn bay]

instant game over when obtained

[dapper sun]

<@&1133519078540185692> kill

how do i make a joker/consumable show a small thingy (such as consumable or enhancement) on the side

[celest timber]

is there any other way to reset the game than holding the M key? i tried alt+f5 and doesnt seems to work

[dapper sun]

it's alt f4 not f5

[celest timber]

hmmm

alt+f4?

[dapper sun]

yeah

[celest timber]

yeah ofc

[sturdy compass]

Use info_queue in loc_vars. For example, if I wanted to show a tooltip for Jimbo, i’d add this line:
info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS[‘j_joker’]

[dapper sun]

ty

[crystal perch]

joker's crashing when i try to juice it up, here's the error and code

i probably wrote the juice up function wrong, i low key just copied it from dna/invisible

joker itself works though

[sturdy compass]

It’s your is_suit comparison that’s the issue. You don’t need the == true part of that

[crystal perch]

also i should mention it only crashes when a spade is in hand

[crystal perch]

removed the == true and still got the same error

[sturdy compass]

I don’t think you’re passing in a value for your eval call either

I’d have to check my own code to see how you would do this but that’s definitely part of the issue, as v in eval is never defined

[edgy reef]

It's saying that v does not have the is_suit function.

[willow plinth]

chat is this fake news on newer smods versions? this never fires for me for some reason

my "full" code:

 local isContextForOdds = context.before and context.cardarea == G.play
  local isContextForVertex = context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea ~= nil
  local isContextForEdge = context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only
  local isContextForFace1 = isContextForEdge
  local isContextForFace2 = isContextForVertex
  if isContextForOdds then
      print("isContextForOdds")
  end

"isContextForOdds" never gets logged

[red flower]

i think in that context cardarea refers to the object that triggers not the object that it affects like individual

[rapid stag]

oh yeah, i had this problem a little while ago. during before, context.cardarea is only ever G.jokers. the optionally enabled ones need to be optionally enabled. and even then i feel like it's something like context.other_cardarea...? but i feel like that's not right

[edgy reef]

huh?

[daring fern]

That’s for enhancements only no?

[willow plinth]

i see, thanks

yeah, i just need to context to calculate roll my odds outcomes once because i need them a lot of times later, so i figured i'd use before for that

[eager pendant]

Tell me how to make the Joker appear only after you have certain jokers in your hand.

[red flower]

you can use before with jokers

[edgy reef]

ohhhh

[willow plinth]

no idea, this is at the top of the contexts docs for "Main Scoring Loop" so i thought it would apply anyway

i'll try cardarea = G.jokers

[red flower]

you can also drop the area check, i think it's only relevant for playing cards

[willow plinth]

does this ensure it's only running once?

[edgy reef]

Yeah not every context iterates over all cardareas

[red flower]

yes

[willow plinth]

i see

[rapid stag]

no - in my experience there are multiple calculate() fires that happen during context.before

[red flower]

not true because i use it

[eager pendant]

Tell me how to make the Joker appear only after you have certain jokers in your hand.

[willow plinth]

i mean i can just try in my usecase and report back

[red flower]

oh wait youre right lol

use context.main_eval

[willow plinth]

this fires only once? aight

[rapid stag]

also, bump

[digital niche]

what am i doing wrong here? trying to add the bonus_dollars everytime card is held in hand, then get the dollars when scored

[willow plinth]

LMAO it fires a million times when just selecting a card

[eager pendant]

Tell me how to make the Joker appear only after you have certain jokers in your hand. Pls

[daring fern]

context.final?

[willow plinth]

i'm dumb i can just ensure initialization by doing if blabla = nil then dostuff

[digital niche]

OH didnt realize LOL

meant to be final_scoring_step

[daring fern]

Still no.

[digital niche]

but im using that in my other held in hand enhancements and is working?

[brisk rose]

I mean if it's the same colors regardless then there's no need to overcomplicate it

[still jacinth]

how do you all have the balatro font in your code editor

[daring fern]

context.final_scoring_step doesn’t happen in hand?

[red flower]

why is the better question

[brisk rose]

You can just pull it out of the exe if you want but I think they use monospace versions

[digital niche]

but its working for in hand, idk why but it is, and i tried other things and they didnt

[willow plinth]

bump because it doesn't :D

[rapid stag]

what is your if statement for this

[willow plinth]

just context.main_eval - was i misunderstanding and i should add cardarea == G.jokers as well?

[digital niche]

yeah just tried with final step and the code i sent rn and its working

[rapid stag]

what cardarea were you using before

[red flower]

i use context.before and context.main_eval and it fires once

[willow plinth]

G.play

[willow plinth]

oh so both, okay

[red flower]

yeah yeah

[rapid stag]

...does context.before and context.main_eval work?

[onyx sonnet]

is there a way to access driver_tally from another joker?

[willow plinth]

i'm trying 🧑‍🍳

[red flower]

context.main_eval is for when a context is called for multiple things so you only check the main trigger

[willow plinth]

i see, i misunderstood the whole context thing then, i thought only one is true at a time, but then again, someone smart at smods would make an enum instead of a table of booleans

[rapid stag]

i see

[brisk rose]

Why are you using an smods older than the release even?

[eager pendant]

Guys, how do I make the Joker match itself when I have certain jokers in my hand?

[red flower]

yes, just search the card with SMODS.find_card

[red flower]

no, that's true. main_eval is just extra info like cardarea

also its a vanilla thing

[willow plinth]

oh

[red flower]

not main_eval specifically but the context system

[rapid stag]

yeah that one's a moment

[still jacinth]

what do you mean

[willow plinth]

anyways thanks it works perfectly with both now, only issue left is animation timings

[onyx sonnet]

doesnt that tell you if a card currently exists in a certain card area?

[red flower]

it gives you a list of cards so you get all the drivers license you have and check their tally

[willow plinth]

the double flipping looks weird, maybe need to do some variable delays here

[onyx sonnet]

i dont necessarily want to access an existing driver's license, i just need the tally of enhanced cards called driver_tally

[agile dew]

where do you put the area?

[sturdy compass]

And where are you trying to pull the tally from?

[eager pendant]

For example, I have in my hand 4 certain jokers and when they are in my hand, then to them spawns another who has in the conditions prescribed to have 4 of these ones

[red flower]

oh then no, you need to patch the part in update that does that but its just better to calculate it yourself when you need it

[willow plinth]

btw, did anything major break with the update or can i just update easily? how does this usually go for the modding people?

[agile dew]

what update?

[red flower]

im on the latest commit all the time

[onyx sonnet]

That's what i was doing but i think im doing it wrong

[red flower]

if something breaks everyone would be complaining

[onyx sonnet]

it doesnt update ingame

[willow plinth]

nvm i'm fucking stupid

read this as 2025 lmao

[red flower]

lol

[brisk rose]

We're already up tp o

[sturdy compass]

the fact we're on 1o now

same braincell coonie lmao

[brisk rose]

He stopped doing patch notes

[red flower]

yeah 1.1 is probably the one that will break stuff

[willow plinth]

yeah i know just big wet brain fart

[brisk rose]

Hehe

[red flower]

can i see the code

[eager pendant]

For example, I have in my hand 4 certain jokers and when they are in my hand, then to them spawns another who has in the conditions prescribed to have 4 of these ones

[willow plinth]

some people would profit from AI rephrasing their question tbh

[onyx sonnet]

SMODS.Joker { 
    key = "licenseplate",
    config = {extra = {license_count = 0, scaling = 3, license_mult = 0}},
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true, 
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "EmeraldJokers",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 4 },
    cost = 6,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.scaling, card.ability.extra.license_mult}}
      end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.license_count > 1 then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.license_mult,
            colour = G.C.MULT,
        }
      end
    if not context.blueprint then
      card.ability.license_count = 0
      for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
          if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then card.ability.license_count = card.ability.license_count + 1 end
      end
      card.ability.extra.license_mult = (card.ability.extra.license_count * card.ability.extra.scaling) or 0
      if card.ability.extra.license_mult < 1 then
        card.ability.extra.license_mult = 0
      end
    end
  end
}

[eager pendant]

How to add a condition when there is one Joker, another Joker appears

[red flower]

do it like this

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "licenseplate",
    config = { extra = { license_count = 0, scaling = 3, license_mult = 0 } },
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    atlas = "EmeraldJokers",
    pos = { x = 1, y = 4 },
    cost = 6,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local count = 0
        for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(v)) then count = count + 1 end
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.scaling, count * card.ability.extra.scaling } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            local count = 0
            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(v)) then count = count + 1 end
            end

            return {
                mult = count * card.ability.extra.scaling
            }
        end
    end
}

[brisk rose]

Just put it in the add_to_deck?

[onyx sonnet]

what does the next() mean

ty btw, i just wanna understand the code

[eager pendant]

And how do you make a check if a certain joker is in hand?

[red flower]

gets you the next value in the table, so there I'm checking if the table is not empty

[onyx sonnet]

so if its not empty it returns true?

[red flower]

it returns the next value but that evaluates to true

[onyx sonnet]

ah, neat

thank you very much N'!

[brisk rose]

If you want joker 2 to appear when you obtain joker one, put the create function in joker 1's add_to_deck

[red flower]

btw i just copied that from SMODS' license code

[brisk rose]

But seems like that's not what you want to do actually?

[onyx sonnet]

SMODS has rewrites for jokers?

i dont remember seeing driver's license in the example mods

[red flower]

no, jokers get patched in the code

look at the lovely/dump

[onyx sonnet]

oh wonderful

[eager pendant]

I want him to appear when there are four specific jokers.

[hard flume]

Hi :3

Pikmin is actually going wonderfully!

[brisk rose]

My naive take on how to do that is add it to all 4 jokers add to deck to spawn joker 5, with the condition that the other 3 must be present

[red flower]

thats what i would do

[eager pendant]

That's what I'm asking, how to do it, example code or ready-made code

[willow plinth]

this was just way too overkill after looking at other mods...isn't one event with delays in between enough here?

like kino does it here:

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.3, func = function()
    i_card:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
    card:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
    card_eval_status_text(i_card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil,
    { message = localize('k_shazam'), colour = G.C.MULT })
    i_card.flip()
    delay(0.1)
    SMODS.change_base(i_card, nil, 'Jack')
    i_card.flip()
    delay(0.23)
return true end }))

[eager pendant]

That's what I'm asking, how to do it, example code or ready-made code

[agile dew]

this is how you can check if a joker exists

[onyx sonnet]

@red flower seeing the joker in collection crashes the game

[eager pendant]

Thanks, but if multiple jokers need to be checked?

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.find_card

[brisk rose]

It's not my job to write your code for you ngl. I've never when added a single smods object besides some suits

[red flower]

oh yeah change the loops to G.playing_cards or {}

[brisk rose]

So I'm no more in a position to code it than you

[onyx sonnet]

👍

thanks N

[agile dew]

it works for me, SMODS.find_card did not

[red flower]

weird it does the same thing practically

[daring fern]

find_joker does not work with keys?

[celest timber]

I want to show/update text whenever you select/draw cards, but idk how to detect those events and change the text, how can i do that?

[hardy viper]

im sad i didnt see this message sooner

[red flower]

where do you have the text

[eager pendant]

What is the correct way to write the appearance of the joker in add_to_deck ?

[agile dew]

i dont know, it did for me

[agile dew]

what is that?????

[hardy viper]

pinning certain cards to the top in my collection mod

[agile dew]

can you summon them with the debug mod?

[hardy viper]

ye

its like a sidebar that u can pull up and search and whatnot

[eager pendant]

What is the correct way to write the appearance of the joker in add_to_deck ?

[hardy viper]

and scroll

[agile dew]

im gonna need that link pretty please

[hardy viper]

https://github.com/cg-223/toomanyjokers

i dont shill it as much as i probably should

[agile dew]

thaaank you

[agile dew]

definitely, this looks great

[hardy viper]

tyty

[quartz ravine]

check this out

https://github.com/1RedOne/FickleFox/blob/master/src/jokers.lua#L1191

This is the function that's called when the joker appears, you would probably want to do something like this, but with 'add_to_deck'

Then when it is added, check for the other joker, and if there, then call SMODS.add_card({key = "j_golden"}) or whatever is the key of the joker you want to add

[agile dew]

how do you pin them?

[chrome widget]

do vanilla seals not have keys on them?

[hardy viper]

ctrl + click on em

[agile dew]

beautiful

[celest timber]

On screen, I'm using the attention_text function

[daring fern]

It’s just the name of the seal like ”Red”

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

Do you mean an affix?

They don't have a prefix but they "have" a suffix

[red flower]

I mean what's the source of the text, a joker? a blind? a deck? some general thing?

[chrome widget]

That's the thing, I'm not 100% sure the seal's key is accessible from the seal table. It doesn't actually have the property key = 'key'

For example, most centers have their keys as a property in their tables, in addition to being indexed in those tables by those keys

[celest timber]

Nop, just as a general thing, its a qol feature, so no jokers or deck required, thats why im also getting really confused

[zealous glen]

I don't think Seals are Centers

[chrome widget]

They're not...

Which is why I used centers as a point of comparison

[red flower]

Ok then for selecting cards you can hook card:highlight
For drawing cards I think the easiest is hooking SMODS.calculate_context and checking context.hand_drawn

[hard flume]

Hi :3

I almost got Pikmin working :3

[wintry solar]

the seal key is just in card.seal

[celest timber]

Okok, and how can i make it so attention_text doesnt dissapears?

[chrome widget]

Oh, weird. But thanks

[eager pendant]

It's too complicated and incomprehensible for me

[celest timber]

And i also tried using the offset option, and for some reason, it moved the text slowly offscreen

[wintry solar]

and seal config stuff is in card.ability.seal iirc

[red flower]

sometimes offset does that idk why

i dont have the code with me rn sadly and I don't remember how attention text works. you can try just adding a dynatext object manually on screen

[chrome widget]

Do vanilla seals have easily accessible names or do I have to make them human readable?

[hard flume]

I wonder if Custom Modifiers are possible yet. It would make making Pikmin flower overtime so much easier

[chrome widget]

I.E. usually objects delineate between a key and a readable name

[wintry solar]

is "Red" good enough for you?

[chrome widget]

No, I'd need it to be "Red Seal"

[wintry solar]

oh right

you should be able to just localize it

[celest timber]

How does that work?

[chrome widget]

Nods

[zealous glen]

Usually you specify the key, the set, and the type of localization you want

Not sure if Seals also work like that

[wintry solar]

localize((type = 'name_text, key = card.seal, set = 'Seal'}) off the top of my head

or are seals in Other?

[modern kindle]

hi winter!

[dapper sun]

i have an enhancement that does something custom, and i want to have a joker do something when that triggers. how do i do this?

[chrome widget]

Seals are in other it looks like

[red flower]

i would check how attention text displays the text and copy that honestly, that should use dynatext im pretty sure

[hard flume]

Programming joke name time

[celest timber]

Ok, ill look into it, imma try using attention_text, and if it doesnt work, imma try dynatext, tysm for the help with the events

[willow plinth]

man i'm so bad at animation timing, whyyyy does this not flip to the back first ;(

play_sound("card1")
card:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
card:flip()
callback(nil, card)
delay(0.5)
card:flip()
play_sound("card1")
delay(0.2)

[zealous glen]

is this all inside the same event

[willow plinth]

yes, i had it in two events before but then i saw this:#💻・modding-dev message

[zealous glen]

Idk what Kino is doing

I don't think running it all inside the same Event would work

Doesn't delay create an Event?

So by the time the delay Events are processed, the Event flipping the card has already finished

[zealous glen]

Yes

If you want a reference, check out Training Weights

[willow plinth]

before it kinda looked like this (from revo's vault)

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = "before",
    delay = 0.5,
    func = function()
        if v.base.id > 13 then
            v:flip()
            play_sound("card1")
            v:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
            assert(SMODS.modify_rank(v, -1))
        elseif v.base.id < 13 then
            v:flip()
            play_sound("card1")
            v:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
            assert(SMODS.modify_rank(v, 1))
        elseif v.base.id == 13 then
            v:flip()
            play_sound("card1")
        end
        return true
    end,
}))
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = "after",
    delay = 1,
    func = function()
        v:flip()
        v:juice_up(0.3, 0.4)
        return true
    end,
}))

[chrome widget]

Oh wait shit the loc key is actually 'red_seal' rather than just 'Red'

[willow plinth]

@zealous glen the thing is, i had both of these events in a function, and then i needed to call this function twice, but then it looked like this: #💻・modding-dev message

i badly need an await and promises in lua

[chrome widget]

Well that was mildly annoying:

[red flower]

what if you change the first before event to after

[eager pendant]

Can you tell me how to make a check for the presence of a certain joker in the hand?

[red flower]

SMODS.find_card

[eager pendant]

What's the next step?

[red flower]

reading the documentation https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[hard flume]

Learn coding instead of asking strangers to do it for you tbh

[chrome widget]

Strangely hostile response for a channel seemingly designed to ask strangers for help

[hard flume]

Yes, but if you read their responses earlier. They're not trying to learn, they specifically want free code done for them

[modern kindle]

its kinda been the trend here lately i noticed

[chrome widget]

Why not just ignore them then?

[modern kindle]

people are angy cause they see the same questions asked over and over if people are fresh getting into this
i just dont respond alot of times myself

[hard flume]

Here

[red flower]

I just ignore yeah but I can't say I don't agree with the sentiment

[modern kindle]

ive already said before i dont learn without taking code and then breaking it apart, i think asking for example code is a completely fine way to learn

they said 'example or ready made'

[hard flume]

I guess we interpret what that means differently then

[willow plinth]

don't know why ur defending them, they use this channel as their google literally

[modern kindle]

everyone started somewhere, idk why it has to become some elitist aspect

[red flower]

I think that user has past behavior of asking for every step of code but that's the last I will say on this

[chrome widget]

B/c it's annoying to see people assume ill intent from strangers and if this user was actually a problem you'd ask server staff to talk to them

[hard flume]

Okay, the first part I can Concede on. The second part, I cannot

[hard flume]

Also this is true. They literally just want us to do it for them.

[eager pendant]

Does this have to be added to calculate?

[zealous glen]

I didn't test multiple Training Weights, but I wonder if they work

[red flower]

In the case of your effect it should be on add_to_deck, I think

[chrome widget]

Wough, timing card changes with effect text from jokers/consumables is annoying

[red flower]

this is what goku says before a fight

[willow plinth]

it's not elitist to ask for one second of searching either this discord or the wiki before asking here, sorry

i get asking searchable questions while ur already in some kind of discussion or as a follow up, but this is so far from it
#💻・modding-dev message
or this lol: #💻・modding-dev message

i get laziness, i get being a beginner, but then having this additional attitude like we are just their chatgpt window, nah

[willow plinth]

i'll try setting both events to "after" first

[eager pendant]

How would it look like in code, is there an example of some kind?

[chrome widget]

Like yeah I do understand the annoyance, it feels like talking to a brick wall, but it's way easier to just ignore or block someone

[willow plinth]

with that i agree, yes

but sometimes anger gets to one, i get that too

[chrome widget]

The main reason I point it out is because a lot of the times the poor communication can come from a bad grasp on the language from a non-native speaker, somebody really young, or somebody just anxious as hell and without having that assumption I just kinda block and move on

(which I have done here mind you)

[zealous glen]

It looks a bit awkward but it works. It might be fixable with a longer delay at the end of one calculation

[chrome widget]

I've just written the absolute worst loc vars code

[red flower]

For add_to_deck: https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua#L183

I get why they don't do it, b/c sometimes the lack of continuity of other people talking to the blocked person can cause more arguments and confusion, but like... I don't wanna see em

[modern kindle]

im just too lazy to block most times, i just ignore people

[zealous glen]

Maybe you could handle nil differently Idk maybe not

[willow plinth]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[red flower]

I don't think there's a place that explains how to localize ConsumableTypes? or am I missing something?

[chrome widget]

You have to do something specific for some reason but I don't know if it's explained anywhere, hold on

[red flower]

the objecttype page used loc_txt without explaining how to do it in loc files unlike other pages

[chrome widget]

The main thing to note is that at base, you need these boilerplate level references to your object type

[bold sleet]

tried

[chrome widget]

so 'k_[type_key' and 'k_[type_key]_cards'

[bold sleet]

and shit is not working out ra

[dapper sun]

my game crashes when i select my custom poker hand,,

[chrome widget]

And then you have to put your loc strings (if you're using localization files) in a table under descriptions named as the type key

[willow plinth]

i think you don't need the prefix here but i could be wrong

[bold sleet]

I tried without the prefix

[red flower]

crash log pretty please?

[zealous glen]

I wonder if it's because Consumable Types have jank keys

[rough furnace]

I think the consumeable type doesn't have sprefix but the consumable does

[zealous glen]

Yes that's what I'm getting at

That's how every mod defines the same Zodiac Consumable Type

[chrome widget]

Also I've got this working, the main thing I'm gonna have to figure out is how to to time the Stand attention text, and then probably splitting the loc into an alternate version if all three are in use to space it better

[hard flume]

Hi :3

[frosty rampart]

my guess is that you need to define the example poker hand

[hard flume]

Has anyone made a Homestuck Extended Zodiac Consumable Types?

[dapper sun]

i have

i just didn't include it in the screenshot

[zealous glen]

Extended Zodiac no

[hard flume]

Flint and steel--

[zealous glen]

Homestuck Zodiac there are three at least

[hard flume]

Fair

[willow plinth]

i'm not sure the prefix is needed here, like just do key="flush_jess" maybe?

[dapper sun]

ok

i've been adding the prefix everywhere else lol

[eager pendant]

It's not working

[dapper sun]

still crashes

[willow plinth]

just looking at other code and a lot of them don't have it, sry

[brisk rose]

I personally don't vibe at all with the 'block and forget' mindset

[red flower]

remove self.joker_main
also the joker key starts with j_

[brisk rose]

like... it's fine when everyone's a stranger, but that never stays true for long in any sort of community

[chrome widget]

It's a public server, so by default everyone is a stranger to me unless we start to talk in DMs. If I don't like you and have to coexist with you, blocked, because it's the easiest way to solve conflict without making it other people's problems

[willow plinth]

did you look at the lovely dump to see what at cardarea.lua:192 is?

[red flower]

everyone is my friend here unless i have you blocked in which case you're my enemy

[dapper sun]

i found the problem

it's bc i changed the key name without making a new run

[red flower]

oh lol

[modern kindle]

how do i get blocked by u bestie

[dapper sun]

now how do i add enhancements to the example cards?

[red flower]

have some basic moral disagreement with me

[modern kindle]

hmmm, what is a moral thought u have

do u like dogs ill say i hate em ignoring my pfp

[chrome widget]

Uhh what are your throughts on Pinapple on Pizza

[red flower]

you need to do a lovely patch, let me get it for you

[red flower]

i dont care

[red flower]

i think theyre cute for the most part

[modern kindle]

i think its fine in rare instances but its not something i personally could have often

personally i prefer pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and then banana peppers =]

[willow plinth]

so was removing the prefix the solution? just curious

[dapper sun]

no

[willow plinth]

hm :D

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/58749c3f350bbf101e0167e19bf072008c6119ea/lovely/misc_ui.toml#L43

[dapper sun]

i just had to make a new run lol

[zealous glen]

Just say you love memes

That will get 'en

[dapper sun]

and what do i do with this?

[modern kindle]

ill do you one better

fellas, i like caesar salads

[chrome widget]

I'm kinda basic, pepperoni and extra parmesan

[red flower]

you can copy this file, delete the other patches and put it in your mod

[eager pendant]

It's not working

[modern kindle]

order me 37 pizzas like this

[red flower]

it needs to be j_modprefix_key
but also returning true in add_to_deck doesn't do anything

[red flower]

i just had a really good caesar salad the other day

[chrome widget]

But fr through the most effective way to get blocked by me is to say some transmisognyistic stuff or other uninterrogated reactionary rhetoric. You'd be surprised how often this happens even in queer friendly servers

[rough furnace]

You also should use SMODS.find_card

[red flower]

this is true for me too

[modern kindle]

i have this place near me that gives a 'small' caesar salad which is isntead fuckin massive for like 8 bucks and i love it
i only got back into salads like last year and theyre so yummers

[modern kindle]

thats fair, i usually dont get involved myself and just leave a mental note about someone being mid

[dapper sun]

it works, ty

[eager pendant]

So what's it supposed to be

[chrome widget]

Okay so I fixed the display thing, now I just need to figure out some better timing

[eager pendant]

How will I use it if I don't understand it, that's why I'm asking for help, tell, show.

[red flower]

something like

if next(SMODS.find_card("j_mod prefix_key")) then
    SMODS.add_card{key = "j_mod prefix_key2"}
end

[rough furnace]

I'd you have DebugPlus you can run eval dp.hovered.config.center.key in the console to get the key of the hovered card

[rough furnace]

Its the same as find_joker but uses key instead of name

[willow plinth]

update: this works perfectly, thanks

so cleeeaaaan - this is one joker done, four more to go and i have a mod

[red flower]

yeah i think because before events run immediately the card was just flipping and unflipping immediately

[quartz ravine]

Wowwww! My artist just sent me the last card she was working on. Eldlich the Golden lord.

Oh my god I am in love!!!!

[modern kindle]

i will say the art for this is very cool

[willow plinth]

thank you thank you

[red flower]

cool as hell

[red flower]

also it synergizes with eldlich in my mod

[quartz ravine]

Eldlich predates that guy by a long time (I think)!

[modern kindle]

very likely

i just thought the lord of all that is golden was funny :b

[red flower]

eldlich is 2020? i think

[quartz ravine]

I am in love with your mods config page and your jokers! I need to see how my Eldlich plays with yours!

[willow plinth]

modlich the golden lord

[quartz ravine]

Whoa nice art alert. Oh and cool colors!

[dapper sun]

flesh house,, ,

[limber blaze]

works for flush flush five and straight flush too

[zealous glen]

Is that about Gold Cards

[willow plinth]

i want to eat these cards even if they are not consumables

[limber blaze]

do not consume the flesh

[dapper sun]

yummy flesh

[dapper sun]

are they all custom poker hands, or do you just modify the displayed name to say flesh insead of flush?

[limber blaze]

its just a modified name

like for royal flush

[dapper sun]

ok lol

[eager pendant]

I wrote it like this, the console gives an error

[rough furnace]

What's the error?

[eager pendant]

attempt to index field “center” (a nil value)

[rough furnace]

Are you hovering on your joker when running it?

[eager pendant]

No

[rough furnace]

do so

[eager pendant]

It doesn't work

[eager pendant]

?

[red flower]

I edited it, can you try that? Or show a screenshot of the code

[verbal hare]

Can I add a picture of my Joker without having to make an atlas?

[willow plinth]

unsure if and how i should fix this edge case but whatever, it looks funky

[red flower]

try next(SMODS.find_card("j_fut_lila")

but I don't really know why it doesn't work

[verbal hare]

bump

[willow plinth]

where do you want to add that picture? and basically not really, AFAIK, you can look into SMODS.Sprite but the docs are outdated

you can always use native lua of course but why

[verbal hare]

idk, im just starting in this 😣😫

[willow plinth]

what do you want to do in general? just a retexture or a mod?

[verbal hare]

a mod

[willow plinth]

okay, and what would be the problem with using an atlas?

[verbal hare]

i dont understand things like pos and all that, im gonna searcha video and try learning

[willow plinth]

an atlas is just a sprite sheet, where like multiple joker images are in rows and columns, and then pos describes which row and column to pick for a specific joker

[zealous glen]

An atlas is a collection of images to make loading them into the game less costly. In order to know what part of the atlas to use, Balatro assumes it’s divided into equal rectangles. The rectangle at the top left is the 0th horizontally and 0th vertically

[willow plinth]

look at literally any mod to get an idea

[verbal hare]

yall know were to made a sprite easy? i have an idea but i need a page or software

[verbal hare]

ohh, okay. so its multiples jokers in one png?

[willow plinth]

start at the top here: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441
programs can be aseprite, photoshop, anything that draws pixels

[zealous glen]

Most image editing software works. Aseprite is nice for pixel art, and you can compile it for free legally or buy it. Photopea is a browser-based solution that’s easy to use

[verbal hare]

whats the difference between 1x and 2x?

[willow plinth]

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

[verbal hare]

thx to all of you, you are great

[zealous glen]

2x is 1x but doubled in size

[verbal hare]

thx

i understand now

😁

[eager pendant]

It's not working

[chrome widget]

You'll want to scale your 1x version with nearest neighbor scaling unless you actively want to go through the trouble of making truly higher res versions

[red flower]

I have no idea then, sorry!

[willow plinth]

btw, i was wondering this recently, has any mod done this? or is any asset in vanilla different in 2x?

[zealous glen]

I don’t see why any mod would do this when the 1x version could be higher resolution

And the 2x version could be the 1x doubled

[crystal perch]

no vanilla asset is different in 2x

[verbal hare]

what is the jokers medition?

[crystal perch]

it is literally just for pixel smoothing

[zealous glen]

69 by 93 with 1 pixel transparent border, so 71 by 95

[eager pendant]

How do I make a check for a joker in my hand and if there is one, add another?

How do I make a check for a joker in my hand and if there is one, add another?

[celest timber]

does somebody knows the structure of context.hand_drawn?

[brisk rose]

you learn to read, sorry to be rude

I can tell you don't speak English well

[heady siren]

Is it possible to color sprites using G.C colors?

[brisk rose]

I mean you'd need to use either love.draw functions directly or maybe shaders? That's my guess at least

maybe drawstep could do it

but I kinda doubt it, but I also have no idea what it's capable of

[heady siren]

I'm using DrawSteps for my layered cards

And I have no idea how shaders work, so

[brisk rose]

tbh love.draw isn't all that daunting, if needed, but idk how well it plays on the actual game canvas

I've used it myself, strangely, but only to write to files

[heady siren]

I wanna make a custom card effect that has a colored outline of a card that expands outwards and fades out

And works on any card

[brisk rose]

yeah that sounds like an edition and this a shader to me

[edgy reef]

Would be much easier to do that yea.

Generally I don't think you need to touch love graphic APIs in this game at all unless it's very specific.

LocalThunk already built good tools around it.

[heady siren]

I could probably make the actual card effect pretty easily, it's the color part that makes it complicated

[brisk rose]

tbh if it'd keep people from using lovely patches I wish it would be more common

[brisk rose]

as much I mean

So, to clarify I just see lovely patches as the least ideal way to do things because they tend to cause problems in large modpacks

[gaunt thistle]

yeah I feel like the whole "use lovely patches as a last resort" recommendation of mine has been lost to history

[brisk rose]

nothing against lovely

[brisk rose]

exactly

[gaunt thistle]

lovely is awful

[red flower]

so true

[gaunt thistle]

:p

[heady siren]

Meanwhile I've just kinda started using lovely patches semi-frequently

[gaunt thistle]

I've got personal beef with the dev

[brisk rose]

hard not to

[red flower]

yeah I read a lot of lovely patches where I think "this could easily be a hook"

[brisk rose]

the man in the mirror is a bitch

[heady siren]

I'm tempted to just post my lovely patches and see if they can be hookified

[gaunt thistle]

in a lot of cases patches are just plain faster but you need to consider compatibility

[brisk rose]

as a modpacker I do reccomend. It doesn't solve everything but it definitely helps with compatibility

[gaunt thistle]

in general I'm impressed that things are working as well as they have been

[brisk rose]

same

I manage to have 60+ mods, and it mostly work

[gaunt thistle]

jeez, that's wild to think about

[brisk rose]

like... I can and do play balatro like that, regularly

[gaunt thistle]

it means lovely is pretty optimized too

which is cool

[brisk rose]

it;s the only way I play tbh

[gaunt thistle]

considering how much work it does at patchtime

[brisk rose]

unless I boot up a run on android in my spare time

[heady siren]

I feel like these are the biggest offenders

[brisk rose]

it works on winlator

that's impressive af

[gaunt thistle]

daaaaang that's sick

I'm very proud of lovely haha

[brisk rose]

and it ony takes a minute or to to patch, an order of magnitude longer than a real pc, but only slightly annoying

[gaunt thistle]

and I've got support from amazing people too

very fun project

[brisk rose]

and that's with my huge modpack

[red flower]

I usually just do patches if 1) I have to basically rewrite the entire function to hook, 2) It's something inside an event or UI structure or 3) smods wants me to patch it
