[crystal perch]

speaking of lovely patches is there a way to change a joker's default shader without patching?

i've looked and that's the only answer i've gotten is to just patch it

[unborn bay]

drawstep

maybe

[heady siren]

I just wanna know how to recolor sprites ;~;

[brisk rose]

I mean just have the edition applied in add_to_hand?

[crystal perch]

not an edition

[marble flint]

tbf sometimes a patch is more compatible than a hook in a particularly fragile spot

[crystal perch]

a default shader like hologram

[brisk rose]

oh brain

[crystal perch]

or invis

[brisk rose]

yeah I know what you mean

brainfard

a null edition with the same properties as the base edition would be a hacky way

but there's likely much better

[crystal perch]

yeah but that'd make an entry in the collection as well

also why do that when patch

[brisk rose]

you can surpress those

that I know

[red flower]

i think a drawstep can do the same thing as a null edition

[brisk rose]

but for sll I know that's a patch

[brisk rose]

yeah it's almost certainly the right tool for the job

[red flower]

or i think you can overwrite smods drawsteps, idk if they do one for the vanilla jokers

[edgy reef]

You wouldn't need to override for this.

[brisk rose]

keep in mind that even Blueprint mod uses very few lovely patches for all the magic it does

and I don't think they're related to core functionality

and it was made before drawstep iirc?

[edgy reef]

If it doesn't need to be in a specific order you can just hook after Card:draw.

[red flower]

balatro should be a text based game i hate graphics

[edgy reef]

Balatro on a terminal interface would be fire.

[red flower]

it would actually

[brisk rose]

I mean... an in-terminal ascii version of balatro sounds like a fun project, or even actually text based

but the gameplay loop would suck in actual text

imo

[gaunt thistle]

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

[brisk rose]

and then it'd almost make sense to do it in Bash, lol

[gaunt thistle]

somewhat related to the conversation

[brisk rose]

Balatro.sh

[gaunt thistle]

I plan on using that mod to automate lovely regression testing (at some point)

[brisk rose]

(I'm obsessed with Bash being an actual programming language for some reason)

[gaunt thistle]

yep, you just need to be judicious in your usage of patches.

[heady siren]

Balashtro

[gaunt thistle]

Bashatro

[heady siren]

Balalash

[brisk rose]

this can be true, though it's the specifics of the usuage that matter most in either case for these specific spots

[vocal cedar]

whos good at decks here

[red flower]

im good at dragon link

[vocal cedar]

like if i wanted to make a deck start with a a blueprint

[vocal cedar]

hello pfp change

[marble flint]

not me cross-compiling my mod via posix shell https://github.com/BakersDozenBagels/BalatroBakery/blob/main/.github/workflows/create_lite_version.yaml

[red flower]

just do SMODS.add_card inside an event

[vocal cedar]

apply = function()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()

        end
    }))
end

in here yeah

[red flower]

yeah

[vocal cedar]

ok

if i wanted it to be an iridescent blueprint

tho for example

[red flower]

key="j_blueprint", edition="editionkey"

[vocal cedar]

amazing thank you

[gaunt thistle]

do y'all have any complaints about lovely? bad workflows, bad patch logic, etc.

complaints are appreciated because it keeps the ego down

(and it also gives the next release more direction)

[vocal cedar]

oh hello john lovely himself

[gusty iron]

how do i check what vouchers the players have?

[red flower]

I don't think I'm enough of a power user to have complaints
other than mac patches not working properly:p

[gusty iron]

is that the creator of lovely.

[gaunt thistle]

yeahhh this was a nightmare to fix

it's done though and will be included in the next release

[vocal cedar]

i think a little more overdepth on patches would be cool on the wiki but besides that everything is "lovely" bro.

you should make it so when the lovely engine fails it bricks your pc tho

keeps you fresh

awake

[marble flint]

The documentation is real bad, especially for advanced features

[vocal cedar]

yeah

[gaunt thistle]

agreed

[vocal cedar]

to put it lightly

[gusty iron]

i dont know if you can add table.find but if you could that would be amazing

[vocal cedar]

i guess

TABLE FIND WOULD BE INANE

YEAH

oh i would kiss you

[gaunt thistle]

it's not even real documentation haha, just a "look at what you can do"

[red flower]

who wants to code: 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️
who wants to write docs:

[gaunt thistle]

but then the readme is outdated haha

[vocal cedar]

my kind of documentation

"here bro heres my magna opus"

"youl get the hang of it"

[gaunt thistle]

iirc is this not a lua 5.2 feature? this would become available if we switch everyone over to luajit2

[willow plinth]

we discussed patching here recently and i didn't get it
now i get it but would still appreciate for payload to accept a file path

[gusty iron]

idk i just know it doesnt exist

[gaunt thistle]

yeeeeeeeeeeah I want to do a proper documentation pass when I'm done with our move

[gusty iron]

also if someone could answer this this would be amazing

[gaunt thistle]

I've got this on the backburner 👍

[red flower]

i think they're in G.vouchers

[gaunt thistle]

it's a bit awkward since we need to ascertain if a payload is a path so we can raise an appropriate error if the file can't be found

[willow plinth]

oh, and json support

[gusty iron]

also would it be possible to just remove a voucher from spawning in the shop

[gaunt thistle]

🤢

.... json

nah jk why json tho

[marble flint]

The semantics on count could be better; sometimes I'd like to specify a min and max instead, or perhaps not run a patch at all if the count is wrong.

Also it would be nice to be able to programmatically inspect which patches were applied

[vocal cedar]

okay so this might have immediatly spawned in 100+ blueprints in an inf loop

and immediatly blue screened balatro?

[red flower]

return true for the event to end

[vocal cedar]

check how cryptid does its delete code card

[gaunt thistle]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/issues/215

[vocal cedar]

oeugh my dumbass

right right

[gusty iron]

and whats the key for both clearance sale and liquidation?

[brisk rose]

I have a question. I know Lovely was created for Love2d in general, not just Balatro. Are there any other communities using it regularly that you know of?

[willow plinth]

toml and yaml are yucky too me, and i work with javascript and that obviously has native support for only JSON

[rapid stag]

i have a funny mod idea: cards that were unable to spawn (for example, if you're full on consumables and use a high priestess), they instead spawn in the background and taunt you for the remainder of the run

[gaunt thistle]

it was initially made for Balatro but it has generic support for love2d games.

[red flower]

that's not funny that's scary

[rapid stag]

how is it scary 😭

[gaunt thistle]

err I'm not sure. people have been playing around with using Lovely and other games but I haven't heard anything in a while. Maybe Mari0?

[red flower]

the consumables are haunting you

i love mari0

[vocal cedar]

@red flower works perfectly thanks for the quick help

[gaunt thistle]

min/max would be nice for specificity. we've chatted internally about something like this before and it always came down to a "useful but not that important", but I can take another look for you.

[red flower]

thank you i have never made a deck before

[gusty iron]

bump

[gaunt thistle]

agreed. I need to do a huge expansion of the runtime to better handle querying metadata from the lua side

[red flower]

can't you search the name in the localization files

[brisk rose]

tbh with how similar these are kinda are, I get why you'd only wanna work with one

[vocal cedar]

lol

[gusty iron]

ill look fo rthose

[rapid stag]

i mean, that was an example, it wouild applies to all attempts to spawn anything in a filled cardarea, such as jokers (i.e. full on jokers, have riff-raff, start blind.)

[gusty iron]

i cant find them 😔

[gaunt thistle]

ah yeah, I'm planning on reimplementing nativefs entirely within lovely

native code

it's the only way we can reliably get gamepass support to work

[willow plinth]

yeah, but also i think it should be easy to support json, with a json to toml converter - but then again, i could also just convert locally

[brisk rose]

ngl they all remind me of css, I was fairly familar with it at one point taking an intro to web design class

[red flower]

they're in game.lua

[willow plinth]

@gaunt thistle one more wild suggestion (in case this isn't possible yet): multiple targets or patterns/regexes for targets to patch multiple files at once

[gusty iron]

tyty

[gaunt thistle]

I have a couple ideas on how this would be useful but it's probably not a very high priority feature

but it's not a bad idea

if people are interested in having target regex then I'll implement it, otherwise it'll remain low prior

[gaunt thistle]

this would also begone with fuse filesystem jank

probably at least

[willow plinth]

fuse is macos, right?

[gaunt thistle]

and a proper path string type would be nice too

[gusty iron]

gg implimented clearance sale + liquidation with aqua stake (this is liquidation, 50% -> 25%)

[marble flint]

oh yeah, i did want a negative lookbehind at one point which i had to implement in a really dumb way

lookaround in general would be very nice

[gusty iron]

heres all of the current stakes

[brisk rose]

I wonder if Balatro on Linux was native, you'd have similar issues supporting it as on mac

I mean... probably not? MacOS is just weird

[willow plinth]

oh, i wanted to ask that as well: which regex engine is in the background here? i'm used to js regex so would also use lookarounds all the time

rust regex i guess?

[gaunt thistle]

iirc the rust regex engine that we're using doesn't have negative lookbehinds

but it's been a while since I've looked at it

[willow plinth]

yeah, the rust crate doesn't support it

...but it lacks several features that are not known how to implement efficiently. This includes, but is not limited to, look-around and backreferences...

[gaunt thistle]

it's specifically the regex-cursor crate

lookbehinds would definitely slow things down though

[edgy reef]

lookbehinds?

[gaunt thistle]

whatever the word is

[willow plinth]

i think the current state of balatro modding can live with a bit more loading time lol (if that affects only loading at the start)

[willow plinth]

with lookbehinds you can check if something is before your match, but not include it in your match...same with lookaheads and the negative versions

[verbal hare]

I'm trying to make a pirate joker but something that looks even more pirate than the one in the game, I want to make it like a legendary joker and that his power has to do with the player's economy. Do you think it's a good sprite? It's the first one I make and I would like feedback to improve it 😄

[vocal cedar]

help me out here chat

is it e_glass

what is it lol

[willow plinth]

i like it, the hat looks a bit pointy/straight tho

[rapid stag]

m_glass

[vocal cedar]

make the teeth a bit teethier? a more prominent greedy smile would POP

[vocal cedar]

perf thanks

[verbal hare]

ready

hat some less pointy and more teeths

[vocal cedar]

NICE

I LIKE THAT

[ancient plinth]

How do I track rounds? Like Invisible Joker

[red flower]

I just increment a counter in end_of_round

[willow plinth]

nice, but what i meant with the hat is that could be like rounded inwards instead of straight edges, but maybe that's just me

but i also like the shading there

[celest timber]

does anybody know why when i try to loop over G.hand.cards i get nil values?

[red flower]

where are you trying to loop

maybe G.hand doesn't have any cards at that point

[celest timber]

i call G.hand just after checkin context.hand_drawn

[red flower]

that's weird

can i see the code

[celest timber]

if context.hand_drawn then
  for _, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
    available_ranks[v.get_id()] = available_ranks[v.get_id()] + 1
end

[hard flume]

In order to place cards in my custom card area, I'd have to hook card:emplace right?

[red flower]

v:get_id

[celest timber]

oh wait

thats true

[willow plinth]

i hate lua

[red flower]

why i think that makes sense

[willow plinth]

i know i'm a lua noob and it probably makes sense but i've seen several places where . and : are okay and here it's suddenly not?

[celest timber]

yeah that worked

tysm!

[ancient plinth]

How do I make the rainbow text typically used for editions?

[red flower]

it's just syntax sugar to pass self because you can't specify which functions are static functions

[ancient plinth]

Also, I tried rainbow, that didn't work

I know how the color command works also

[red flower]

like the changing color?

or do you want to know the specific one used for editions?

[ancient plinth]

Yes

[sonic cedar]

looked at how diet cola triggers on sell and now i have something like this

[red flower]

G.C.EDITION or G.C.DARK_EDITION probably

[ancient plinth]

Is dark edition for negatives?

[red flower]

dark_edition is used for editions in all text iirc

[brisk rose]

I'm pretty sure negatives are the context I always see it in, but I may be mistaken

[red flower]

damn i copied the lovely dump to my phone but not the loc files

[ancient plinth]

What is the difference between the two?

[red flower]

one is rainbow-y the other is dark rainbow-y : )

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[verbal hare]

if someone want the sprite, dm me. i dont know much of coding so i cant put it in game lmao

[brisk rose]

I mean, do you not wanna post it here becaause your worried people will use it in their mods without your permission?

[stark geode]

anyone know what this means

[rapid stag]

search your code for "b." and see what comes up that might be relevant

[near coral]

Now give them scurvy

[verbal hare]

idk, i would like it if they give me credit or sum

i wouldn't mind

i don't know too much about coding so if someone wants to put it in a mod i would like it

[verbal hare]

in which parts?

[red flower]

one of the cards in the cardarea is nil for some reason when it's trying to sort them
do you know what might have caused?

[near coral]

Yes

[stark geode]

its that one voucer delting joker

it does that every time it is used a seciond time

[brisk rose]

yeah ofc, I was just wondering why you didn't post it here

[red flower]

maybe it's not deleting the voucher properly the first time so that's why it crashes when it tries to do so the second time

[brisk rose]

but yeah people are good about giving credit and asking before using art typically, and if not then they get held accountable

in my experience

[stark geode]

yeah i was using the event manager wrong

[willow plinth]

me with another contexts question: what happens if another joker or thing retriggers my jokers? basically, i need to initialize some variables and with your guys help i did that in context.before && context.main_eval, but i also want to reset them for the next time, which should be straight forward with context.after or something - but i feel like that only works if the joker is only triggered once, right?

i know there is context.other_joker but i feel like that's something different

[verbal hare]

someone knows how to make a legendary joker? maybe could help me or code the joker 😄

[red flower]

I think main_eval should cover retrigger but if not I think the explicit check is context.retrigger/context.retrigger_joker

[willow plinth]

ah at the very bottom of the docs

i don't know if it's my english but i still don't quite understand that sentence lol

"are called with again" what

[red flower]

i hope the new calculation docs eremel is working on are better lol

[willow plinth]

but thanks for pointing out retrigger, i'll look how other mods are using it

[red flower]

I have never tested my mod with retriggers enabled so everything might be broken for not checking properly lol

[willow plinth]

oh star rail does something smart, they just reset the values right before initializing them, that might not solve the problem but is still less convoluted than using context.after

[rough furnace]

It means the functions is called another time but with a modified context

[willow plinth]

but does it run through the exact same context loop?

[rough furnace]

Wdym context loop?

[willow plinth]

the main scoring loop

first its before, then main_scoring, and so on until after...when a joker retriggers, will it go through all those stages again?

[rough furnace]

I'm not sure exactly but I think any retirggers are just called again right after the first time

[willow plinth]

basically will this be true on normal trigger AND retrigger: context.before && context.main_eval?

[rough furnace]

Idk

[willow plinth]

sorry my questions are garbage

[rough furnace]

Try it and see

[willow plinth]

yeah

[ancient plinth]

The text still isn't the rainbow color for some reason

[rough furnace]

That's not correct

[ancient plinth]

How do I do it then?

[rough furnace]

Should be {C:DARK_EDITION}

iirc

[red flower]

lowercase i think

[rough furnace]

Actually the dark_edition part is probably lowercase

Also you don't need two {{ (I didn't even know the game was okay with that)

[cobalt arrow]

Hey guys, can someone help me with a mod dev problem??

i'm kinda new into this

[brisk rose]

people are just gonna say 'don't ask to ask'

so go on

[cobalt arrow]

oh so

I'm making a mod for my friend who introduce me Balatro

as a thanks for the new addiction

basically it's a joker of him, who is a combination of Scholar + Gluttonous

When a Clubs card is scored, you gain +24 Multi and +69 Chips

however

[native zinc]

context.individual, is_suit()

[celest timber]

is there a way to kill previous attention_texts ?

[native zinc]

? like the message?

[celest timber]

yeah

[native zinc]

chips_mod

mult_mod

message = "whatever you wanna change the message to"

[cobalt arrow]

yes, that part i got it

I couldn't make two messages appear one after the other after triggering

like +69 Chips and then +24 Mult

[native zinc]

return {
chips = 69,
extra = {mult = 24}
}

that should do the order iirc

what are you having trouble with, exactly? detecting suits or returning?

if they're not scoring on the cards then use context.individual

[cobalt arrow]

only the messages

[native zinc]

then try this

oh right comma too

[cobalt arrow]

i put this like:
message =
return {chips = 69,
extra = {mult = 24}
}
?

[native zinc]

no just return normally

no message, chips and mult will automatically give the messages

[cobalt arrow]

ohh

[native zinc]

if you want to change the messages they auto give then you use message = 'Custom Ding'

otherwise just ignore it

[cobalt arrow]

wait

no message played

[native zinc]

are you using chips_mod instead of chips?

[cobalt arrow]

yes

[native zinc]

don't

[cobalt arrow]

ok

only chips?

[native zinc]

chips_mod means no message

chips -> yes message

[cobalt arrow]

ohhhh

livin and learnin

BROOO I GOT IT

thank you very much!

[stark geode]

anyone know how ican change the values of jokers by x1.5

as far as i can tell i look in card.ability

or in some cases card.ability.extra

but ik some of the jokers are hard coded

[chrome widget]

Is there any way to, within the individual context, cause returned extra chips to be summed with the base chips in the same way they are for bonus cards?

Rather than pinged separately?

[unkempt thicket]

I made a whole function for advanced manipulation of joker values

[chrome widget]

Same!!

[stark geode]

oh joy

[chrome widget]

You basically just have to iterate recursively through the card's config/ability table

Ill send it:

[stark geode]

yeah i figured as much

i was already thinking about making a function lol

[chrome widget]

--- If no parameters but a table are provided, the function returns a deep copy of all non-object values
--- @param table table A table to modify.
--- @param mod number | nil A modifier value (such as 0.5 or 2). Default is 1
--- @param reset_table table | nil Table to reset directly comparable values from based on comparator
--- @param compare string | nil A comparator to determine when to reset ('pos', 'neg', or 'dif', default is 'neg')
--- @return table # A modified copy of the given table
function RecursiveTableMod(table, mod, reset_table, compare)
    local val_type = type(table)
    local mod_copy = nil
    if val_type ~= 'table' then
        -- modify number values
        if val_type == 'number' and (not reset_table or type(reset_table) == 'number') then
            -- default value
            mod_copy = table * (mod or 1)

            if not compare then
                compare = 'neg'
            end

            -- reset if a reset table is provided
            if reset_table and ((compare == 'neg' and table < reset_table)
            or (compare == 'pos' and table > reset_table)
            or (compare == 'dif' and table ~= reset_table)) then 
                mod_copy = reset_table
            end

            return mod_copy
        end

        -- weird scenarios with a table mismatch
        return table
    end

    -- recursive to arbitrary depth
    mod_copy = {}
    for k, v in next, table, nil do
        if (k == 'order' and type(v) == 'number') or (type(v) == 'table' and v.is and (v:is(Card) or v:is(Cardarea))) then
            -- don't copy certain values
            mod_copy[k] = v
        else
            if mod and mod ~= 1 and type(v) == 'number' and (k == 'x_mult' or k == 'Xmult' or k == 'x_chips' or k == 'Xchips') then
                if v == 1 then
                    mod_copy[k] = math.max(0, RecursiveTableMod(0, mod, reset_table and reset_table[k] or nil, compare))
                else
                    mod_copy[k] = math.max(0, RecursiveTableMod(v - 1, mod, reset_table and reset_table[k] or nil, compare))
                end

    end

    return mod_copy
end```

[exotic sluice]

Can’t figure it out. Does someone here do commissions for mods??

[stark geode]

may i use this?

[cobalt arrow]

one last question: Do I need to do something to my code so that my Joker can appear in the shop and Buffon Packs?

[unkempt thicket]

Mine is very configurable, you can choose the exact operation you want to do, the table you want to iterate over, vars to exclude (at certain vaules and in general), vars to only go over if contains certain letters, and rounding.

[chrome widget]

This has a bit of extra functionality I originally added for something I did with Dilly, but just call it, give it a numerical mod, it'll multipy all values on a table given to it (like card.ability or card.ability.extra)

And yeah sure

[stark geode]

I might just make my own acutally

becuase what i need is wayy to specific

[chrome widget]

How so?

[celest timber]

im gonna leave learning dynatext for tomorrow cause my brain hurts

[stark geode]

Main Channel (Rare) - 1 in 25 chance to multiply a value in all owned Jokers by x1.5 when playing a hand. (Wait, he has a main channel?) [see below for explanation]

[chrome widget]

avoiding chances is gonna be really difficult, because not every vanilla joker mathematically implements them the same way

[stark geode]

yeah

especially with oops

[unkempt thicket]

While in most cases this won't work for all jokers i think the function i made will be a good fit, i used it too multiple all joker values by two, change chips to mult value, and swap chips and mult values.

[stark geode]

id rather make my own

[chrome widget]

But almost all of that besides changing the localization stuff is easy

[stark geode]

there are a couple things ill need to kidnap because of them being hardcoded

like dagger

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know how to make a joker play a sound when it is being sold? this doesn't work

[crystal perch]

bump! any help is greatly appreciated

[sonic cedar]

also it's formatted like this so i can pick a random sound between these three

[stark geode]

.

[chrome widget]

The instances of the 'self' variable that you're using need to be replaced with 'card'

[crystal perch]

yes but how would i fix it

[sonic cedar]

.

[crystal perch]

that's a completely separate thing

[chrome widget]

In the context of the SMODS calculate function, self refers to the center, not the card instance

[crystal perch]

yeah changing self to card just doesn't crash the game

the juice still doesn't work

[stark geode]

the function is_suit() might not exist

[crystal perch]

it does ive used it before

to be clear: the joker works, it is just the juice up that isnt

[chrome widget]

It's highly likely that there's an ambiguous reference between the local v variable inside the eval function and the one used by the ipairs iteration

Name it something else

[crystal perch]

the naming convention isn't the issue, it doesnt work no matter what you name it

[chrome widget]

Can you explan what the joker is intended to do?

[crystal perch]

i just want the joker to juice up while a spade is in hand

the joker's ability works

it is just the juice that crashes it

[stark geode]

I'm guessing my best bet is start with the things I can scale easily then do the hard coded ones

[stark geode]

Juice until is wierd

I've had my own issues with it

[willow plinth]

i want to post the glorbshit gif so badly because my jokers are not getting retriggered 😭 😭

[chrome widget]

So like... the main issue with it is that you're giving a bunch of unique juice_until evaluations for each individual spade, and the condition is asking to wait until that specific card is no longer a spade. It doesn't replace the existing evaluations with the state of your current hand, it just adds atop them

[willow plinth]

so apparently jokers with SMODS.calculate_effect aren't getting retriggered? 😭

[stark geode]

So the best bet would be to make a value on the joker that is a Boolean that decides if it should juice that is set to true if there is a spade?

[chrome widget]

Yeah

Because unless you change the suit of one of those cards, those juice_until evaluations will never change, and they'll conflict with each other

And if one of those cards is destroyed, the reference to the card also breaks

[stark geode]

Then putting the juice until in the main calculate function and not the if

[stark geode]

Depends on what you want

I'll consider it

[tepid crow]

if they don't return anything, they don't get retriggered

you can also return nil, true if you don't want an effect but do want to indicate the joker triggered

[willow plinth]

oh that's a good hint, thanks

[sonic cedar]

does selling a joker trigger its remove_from_deck?

[rough furnace]

Yes

[sonic cedar]

does that mean i can have it play a sound through there or no

[rough furnace]

Probably yeah

[sonic cedar]

sickkk

wait would i use playsound or return sound

wait no returning ssound if for calculate disregard me

[verbal hare]

if my joker soul is in the second row and first column what would be the pose? im kinda slow lmaoao

[faint yacht]

Such start from 0.

[brisk rose]

Can someone help me figure out what went wrong with my get_current_pool?

This is the crash I get. It tries to make a playing card with a seal on it and does this instead

The crash log also has my mod list

[high sinew]

for some reason my game isnt letting me see my consumable in shop anyone know?

[edgy reef]

I think it's something with Familiar and another mod likely, after reformatting the file so it's readable I think the orig part that would handle polling seals is being skipped because of the elseif v.set == 'Familiar_Planets' then.

And since seals have no default it just rolls with Joker

[subtle hawk]

How do I move cards from one area to another? Like from G.hand to G.deck by using a card

[brisk rose]

yep, Familiar is tonight's lucky winner. Deleted it and same pack works fine

yes, for well over 12 hours I haven't restarted the run

just left it there for testing

@unkempt thicket (also why are there 2 of you? are you one of those peeps that has a mobile and desktop account seperately?)

[faint yacht]

It was Familiar that broke my Hearty Spades... and it is Familiar that broke the Seal generation in my booster pack. 🐴

[brisk rose]

to be fair, I think it just flat out broke seal generation

[verbal hare]

can someone help me with my code in dm?

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/RattlingSnow353/Familiar/commit/aa2e422ec4eb6285a4540eef1c4ffba24728d93f

Anyone know how to load new image files/assets using lovely? (not steamodded)

I'm trying to do love.filesystem.read(texture_path) in an injected function but I don't think the image file is actually contained within the patch so it can't find it

[wild escarp]

Making a joker that gains X1 mult if played hand is pair of aces, built it based off of superposition and runner, but I get an error when selecting a card saying poker_hands is a nil value, anyone want to point out my stupidity?

    local aces = 0
    --always score
    if context.joker_main then
      return{
        Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
        message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } }
      }
    end
    --check for aces in hand
    for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
      if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 14 then aces = aces + 1
    end
    end
    --check for pair and aces and upgrade joker
    if aces >= 1 and next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) and context.before and not context.brainstorm then
      card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain
      return{
        message = "Upgraded!",
        colour = G.C.MULT,
        card = card
      }
    end
  end```

[brisk rose]

was a fix for another incompatibility I was having

actualy, it's not too let, lemme test something

[sonic cedar]

Does anyone know how unlock conditions work? I want to start giving my jokers some

[brisk rose]

@edgy reef @unkempt thicket just as I suspected, putting familiar back in but taking all-in-jest out also fixes it

they're really fighting over than patch space

[brisk rose]

wait fuck me I'm an idiot

I made that change to my modpack folder, not my mods folder

[high sinew]

my game crashes trying to spawn in my card

anyone know why?

my key is just their name so would it be no "c_ mills_ "

[brisk rose]

yeah nevermind, it really is just familiar

whoops

I mean probably an interaction still, but not with all-in-jest

[wild escarp]

Looking for help.

[willow plinth]

i wouldn't ask if i hadn't tried basically everything the last two hours; any idea what this could be?

this happens when trying to retrigger my joker with another random joker

specifically with Blue Yourself from Neato Jokers

but also happened with another retrigger joker from toga

[hollow birch]

what is the proper way to set debuffs? it seems theres like at least three different ways to do it, and I wanna know which is the suggested way

[verbal hare]

i need help, my legendary joker only use one pos, i put soul pos but it doesnt load the joker, when i delete the soul pos my joker appears

[willow plinth]

nvm i'm dumb

[hollow birch]

also in follow up to this, whats the best way to have them to stop being debuffed when the custom ability isn't in effect anymore?

rn i'm just calling card:set_debuff(true) and marking a variable so it knows that I debuffed it, and then disable it manually later if it is debuffed and has that variable, but that would prevent other mechanics from debuffing it as well while its already debuffed, so theres likely a better way

[uneven halo]

Hey modding chat I dont even know if this will get anywhere but following the convo on #🍌・thunk-chat , I see a ton of people like jiggle ideas and stuff, how easy is it to grab the function to make existing jokers jiggle? Might check out if I make a fidget mod or something

like, its ungodly how many "Hey couldnt this joker jiggle when X situation happens?" Thunk got in the last 5 minutes so I figure there ought to be a little nieche to carve out with mods that just enhance how tactile the game feels and are more for fidgeting

[manic rune]

:juice_up()

[subtle hawk]

So I'm putting cards held in hand into deck, the problem is that if a card is highlightened it stays highlightened. And when I try to unhighlight_all it just crashes 😭

[unborn bay]

cards refers to the array of cards in the area, not the cardarea itself

you're looking for G.deck:unhighlight_all() here

[hollow birch]

nvm i got it

[faint yacht]

💀

[subtle hawk]

That doesn't unhighlight them tho

[chrome widget]

For the 'removing_playing_cards' context, is there a way to have the behaviors from the return table occur after the relevant cards are destroyed rather than before?

Or would I have to make a unique context for that?

[lucid owl]

i patched SMODS.create_card (see bottom) in order to replace one card with another upon card creation, but when i do so it does... this. the card is created as intended (soully on the right), but then the original card is just loosely there. what's the problem with my patch?

(also, those particles around the card are permanently there for... some reason)

[subtle hawk]

Nvm I just did it another way. It results in a little visual bug it works functionally sooooo whatevs

[willow plinth]

entirely my fault cuz i'm dumb, don't worry

[faint yacht]

🫠

[lucid owl]

nevermind, got it! had to patch the original create_card function

[subtle hawk]

Does anyone know why do these get darkened?

[lucid owl]

the game's shaders naturally darken almost all colors, check out https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1250386587691388989 if you want a little guide on the game's used colors (essentially, the black used in-game is lighter than actual black)

Oh damn that's cool

[flat sorrel]

why is the key "Red" in my joker pool (and crashing the game because there's no center for it) I'm gonna cry

[manic rune]

question, whats this

[shell timber]

id assume that's for hologram etc.

[manic rune]

hm

i see

what do i need to do to give the card an edition and a seal too?

i tried reading the function's code but i barely understood anything im gonna be honest

[subtle hawk]

Why are there two colors assigned to a consumable type? I thought badges are one-colored

[manic rune]

-# what do "front" and "center" mean 😭

[daring fern]

Try putting it in a variable and editioning it and sealing it?

[manic rune]

mm i will try,one sec

doesnt seem to be it

oh wait

was i supposed to patch here?

uh

how do i direct the target to this

never tried patching smods before

[faint yacht]

target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]' ? #💻・modding-dev message

[manic rune]

thanks

hm

that didnt work

[daring fern]

Try removing all the tabs?

[manic rune]

mm nope

is there a mod that patches smods?

im probably doing something wrong here

[daring fern]

Try looking in the lovely dump.

[manic rune]

oh

i might be dumb :3

[subtle hawk]

Confused on how to spawn a card from a modded set with SMODS.add_card

Or SMODS.create_card

[manic rune]

that works now

[daring fern]

Code?

[subtle hawk]

Specifically how the key should look

[subtle hawk]

Of the ConsumableType?

[daring fern]

Of how your trying to create it.

[subtle hawk]

SMODS.add_card { key = "tune_b1999_mel1" }
Current attempt

Not much more

[manic rune]

balatro 1999??

[sturdy compass]

that is an odd looking key

[subtle hawk]

Yup

[manic rune]

fire

[subtle hawk]

Because I don't understand what I'm doing

Like with a vanilla type i think it would be like t_b1999_mel1 (?)

[sturdy compass]

There is no vanilla thing that has a key like that

[subtle hawk]

Uhhh

I'm brainfarting

[manic rune]

what does "tune_" mean

is this a joker or a consumable?

[subtle hawk]

That's a consumable

[sturdy compass]

what is your mod id and card's key

[manic rune]

you want to do c_(mod_prefix)_(key) then

[shut crater]

can I get an SFX vibe check

[sturdy compass]

It's a little in your face imo

[manic rune]

it sounds off, but i cant exactly tell whats the issue

😭

[shut crater]

I agree

trying to figure it out

[manic rune]

holy fuck, two polychromes in a row???

😭

istg its only when im testing

[subtle hawk]

Yeah that's it thanksss I don't think I'll have any more brainfarts (today)

[manic rune]

dont worry, i had a lot of brainfarts today too, i feel bad for people helping me 😭

fr

[dapper sun]

how do i let another card/joker know when this enhancement creates a card?

[kind moat]

this looks cool what mod are you making

[manic rune]

a skill tree mod that saves for the entire profile

currently im working on a section that buffs spectral cards, gold seal and purple seal

[karmic arch]

If spectral didn't have negative effects, then these would be the best cards

[daring fern]

Look at how Lucky Cat and lucky_trigger works.

[dapper sun]

ty

[manic rune]

oh damn Aura's selection cap is hard-coded

💀

thats uh, concerning

[kind moat]

Can you get around that by function hooking?

[manic rune]

its easy

but

im mostly concerned about the fact i cant change its description by changing a var like tarot cards

so i would have to override the card's localization, which i kinda tried to avoid

😭

thats annoying

[unborn bay]

one

[kind moat]

I see how do other cards handle it? Because they're dynamic it's not handled in the "text" table?

[manic rune]

they have something like #1# instead of 1, which changes depending on a variable

[kind moat]

I had an idea to create a balatro mod around the binding of isaac but its already been done... so now i gotta think of another idea... 😄

[kind moat]

How are ya going to get around it then. Any ideas?

[haughty wraith]

How do I create my own mod?

[kind moat]

[1349064230825103441](#1349064230825103441 message) This should link to a channel guide in this discord.

^^

[manic rune]

too much trouble, im probably just gonna leave the description untouched

https://gyazo.com/67423c9812e9d4950cd90b82efd47f5f it works though

[kind moat]

Ahh there we go

@haughty wraith

[haughty wraith]

:з

Thanks a lot

❤️💕💖

[kind moat]

It works but I'd imagine a user would forget very quickly after a break, if they return and see that Aura states it can only alter one card

[kind moat]

np

[manic rune]

there we go

[kind moat]

Nice! How did you fix it?

[manic rune]

made my own localization for the card :p

its sadly the only way to fix this, and mods which add new localization to Aura too will probably override my changes

making it back to "1 selected card" again, but it shouldnt change anything gameplay-wise, so

[eager pendant]

How do you give a Joker when you have another Joker in your hand?

[kind moat]

Joker in your hand?

You need to give more context if you're already talking about a custom part of your mod

[eager pendant]

If there is a certain joker in the joker slot then give another joker

[brisk rose]

they've been asking this same question for over a day straight

they want to be given ready to use code

and don't seem to understand attempts to help them

[kind moat]

I see fair enough

[vocal cedar]

finishing touches on da tag

[native zinc]

so specific

x1.7

[kind moat]

Even still the amount of context here is very lacking? Do you want the joker to give a joker when:

It's sold? A blind starts? The round ends? etc. Either way I think your answer will be in the steamodded wiki documentation here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker

[vocal cedar]

it was originally 2x but shit that got strong fast

[eager pendant]

Not I want to, when 3 certain jokers are in hand, a 4th Joker appears

[kind moat]

That tag looks great. However the center cross looks misaligned at the top? Although might be wrong as the tag is rather small in that image

[vocal cedar]

oh hold on

you might be correct as hell

[kind moat]

I also think you've gone one level too deep on the bottom side aswell

Your shape

Original

@vocal cedar

[eager pendant]

I tried it like this, it doesn't work

[daring fern]

You need to check if #SMODS.find_card("j_fut_lila") > 0 then

[dapper sun]

idk where to set the trigger from

[eager pendant]

If I have {key = "j_lila"} in SMODS.joker, where do I need to add the prefix?

[dapper sun]

this isn't doing it

(putting it at the start of the card's actual behaviour

[tall wharf]

everyone is adding xchips 😭

[daring fern]

Remove the j_ from the key when defining the joker.

[daring fern]

You should be putting it on card not self

[dapper sun]

ok

the lucky card code seemed to be putting it on self

[daring fern]

That's because it's the source code.

self is actually the card over there.

[dapper sun]

ok

i'll remember that for the future

[exotic totem]

I'm new to Lua and struggling a bit with my first joker. Could anyone point me in the right direction in terms of counting cards of a specific rank in the scoring hand?

if context.individual and context.cardarea then 
                local cardarea = G.play
                
                local count = 0
                for _,card in pairs(cardarea) do
                    if card:get_id() == 7 then 
                        count = count + 1
                    end
                end

[exotic totem]

Ah, thank you

[eager pendant]

Not working

[daring fern]

You need to check #SMODS.find_card("j_fut_lila") > 0

[reef belfry]

how would you go around flipping the played cards one at a time and only flip them face up if all the cards are flipped down for a short amount of time

[eager pendant]

I tried that, too

[eager pendant]

??

[runic pecan]

Sometimes I forget which node should be G.UIT.R and which node should be G.UIT.C, and then something like this will happen:

[dapper sun]

how do i make a planet card?

[eager pendant]

Someone tell me already how to do a check on the jokers in the hand and if they are there then give another joker

[kind moat]

Bro maybe people here don't have the answer. Check the documentation...

[vocal cedar]

SMODS.Consumable Documentation

You basically make a consumable and then specefy it as a planet

[dapper sun]

i figured it out dw

[vocal cedar]

ok nice

[kind moat]

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

[reef belfry]

cards that get enhanced during context.before dont score their enhancements?

[runic pecan]

How do I stack them vertically?

[eager pendant]

They probably don't want to, since it's not a complicated action, I can't understand it just because I'm new to it

[runic pecan]

It should be, considering Midas Mask - Golden Ticket combo.

[reef belfry]

well this is an oddity

maybe im just doing something wrong

[manic rune]

i think you cant have a G.UIT.C inside a G.UIT.C, N' explained that to me before

you need to do G.UIT.C -> G.UIT.R -> G.UIT.C

or something 🤔

[runic pecan]

Let me try that rq

[crisp coral]

yeah it wouldnt make sense to double uit.c

[runic pecan]

It worked. ty

[reef belfry]

rahh..

it also doesnt trigger golden ticket

[manic rune]

are those all handled in context.before?

[reef belfry]

yeah

[runic pecan]

Did you put them in Event?

[manic rune]

weird

[reef belfry]

yeah

is that the problem?

[runic pecan]

That would make them do enhancing after scoring calculation.

[reef belfry]

oh

[vocal cedar]

is there a good wiki reference for all the hidden configs for random shit?

like here for example

max_highlighted is a predefined variable that you set for specrals or tarots right,

but i dont really see its documentation anywhere

i feel like i just keep seeing stuff like this all throughout smods

[daring fern]

If something is not in the documentation, most often, it's because it's a vanilla thing.

[vocal cedar]

so max highlighted is a vanilla thing

huh okay

makes enough sense

[formal parrot]

GOD DAMN THE FUCKING SUN

[manic rune]

anyone remembers from the top of their head how to check if a card has an enhancement or not?

[daring fern]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[manic rune]

thank

[coral flume]

Any Idea how I'd change the chances of just lucky cards

[daring heron]

Wait how do i add credits to my mod

Like as a tab

[daring heron]

Like this yeh

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/58749c3f350bbf101e0167e19bf072008c6119ea/src/mod_info.lua#L105

I would recommend just having them in the localization file rather than making the UI manually

[daring heron]

I mean, is there not a built in credits tab in the balatro mods section?

[red flower]

the SMODS one?

that one is harder to edit because it's for smods credits not for individual mods

[daring heron]

No the individual mods one

[red flower]

no, you need to add it yourself

[daring heron]

Damn 😔

How do i do that?

[red flower]

you can have them in the mod description if you don't want a different tab

[red flower]

i just linked to u 😦

[daring heron]

Oh mb

[cursive sentinel]

ive seen repeated jokers appear in my shop / on creation despite no showman being present, is it a known bug or would my mod be causing this?

(was trying to see if polls and enhancement gates were working)

[daring fern]

Did you spawn it with DebugPlus?

[cursive sentinel]

i spawned all jokers manually and turned them negative with debugplus, not creating showman, and then spawned jokers through judgement

[red flower]

wdym by manually?

[cursive sentinel]

pressing 3, then ctrl Q

[daring fern]

If you spawn a joker with DebugPlus it doesn't get removed from the pool.

[cursive sentinel]

erg

although ive seen it also in game

w/o debug plus on

[red flower]

there are some vanilla bugs related to that but i don't think that's related to your issue

[cursive sentinel]

how could i test if my poll false and enhancement gates are working well?

[red flower]

eval SMODS.add_card{key="joker_key"} in the dp console

[cursive sentinel]

thx!

if it spawns, it means it doesn't work?

[red flower]

oh no, that will always spawn. I understand what you mean now
I don't think there's an easy way to test if something doesn't spawn properly

you can try banning all other items with the Banner mod?

[cursive sentinel]

what is it?

[red flower]

[dapper sun]

how do i set chips/mult, instead of adding to/multiplying it?

[daring fern]

hand_chips = number or mult = number I think?

[dapper sun]

ty

[wintry solar]

You’d need to update the text too, so I think it would be cleaner to use chip_mod in your return (or remove_default_message = true) and have a custom message

[dapper sun]

it's still adding

instead of setting

[wintry solar]

Yeah add the difference

[dapper sun]

how do i get the amount of chips/mult?

[daring fern]

hand_chips and mult

[dapper sun]

do i add G.GAME. before that, or-

i said get not set

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

Those are globals for the current chips and mult.

[dapper sun]

ah ok

i see

[willow plinth]

is this joker any good? (chances are independent)

posting this here again cuz i'm shadowbanned in #⚙・modding-general

[dapper sun]

shadowbanned?

[willow plinth]

i'm joking but 90% just ignore me and it's aiko memes i don't understand lol

[dapper sun]

ah ok

i'm no expert on balancing but

i do love the rotating polyhedrons you've made

[willow plinth]

haha thanks

[maiden river]

This seems alright

[willow plinth]

i somehow think constantly it's a net negative joker but i don't think it is unless you have a weird other joker or consumables that caps hands or something

why am i making a mod based on multiple rolls when i'm too stupid to understand independent probabilities 😭

[vocal cedar]

drew this from scratch... does server deem it at least bearable?

i have touched pixel art

exatly one time before this

and it was to make a different spectral card lol

Graveyard: Convert your entire hand into Stone Cards, then apply Iridescent to a random playing card, or Joker

i gotta know how many times bro has emoted

[cursive sentinel]

iridescent is your x2 chips edition right?

[vocal cedar]

yep

polychrome has hex

this has this

[karmic arch]

Somethingcom thinks a lot

[vocal cedar]

he does lol

[vocal cedar]

80% chance it applies irid to a joker, 20% to a playing card

i might just make it 100% joker tbh

[cursive sentinel]

the art's maybe a bit hard to read, also it seem the lower pixel line of the drawing inside hasn't he white border

[vocal cedar]

and then leave the irid to a card for a lucky aura or standard pull

[rapid stag]

i like the idea of a graveyard spectral card, but i'd just make it destroy a bunch of cards and give 1 extra pemanent discard

[daring fern]

Since about 8 days ago.

[vocal cedar]

i think im gonna make the hand and the grave a soul, make it seperate

might improve vis

[cursive sentinel]

a bit odd for the lower chance to be on the less powerful effect, usually balatro does the reverse

like aura is like 50% foil 35% holo and 15% poly iirc

[vocal cedar]

i feel like irid cards are significantly stronger than irid jokers

cause death dna cryptid and boom

[cursive sentinel]

could help probs

[vocal cedar]

making aura have 50 foil 35 holo 10 poly 5 irid

[daring fern]

If there was a reverse splash joker where all cards are unscored, is there a situation where that would be useful?

[cursive sentinel]

they're not as jokers can add flat chips, thus multiplying chips on played cards is a burden

[vocal cedar]

so you play a hand and.... nothing scores

[daring fern]

Your jokers still do.

[vocal cedar]

oh i see

i dont think that would be usefull unless your going for the cryptid green seal thing no?

there we are

lets see lets see

[cursive sentinel]

Question for a joker i'm working on, which set hands to 1, the thing i use G.GAME.current_round.hands_left but it doesnt seem to take into acc the added hands from burglar; since it's only done though ease_hands_played

anyone would know some kind of a solution?

[karmic arch]

+1 for bus

[rapid stag]

well the thing is, editions on jokers are reliable because they'll always be there, but that means the joker edition can't be anything else (unless you either sell it or otherwise have some other way of removing it)

editions on cards have the advantage of not taking up an edition on a joker but not being reliable as you have to have it in your hand to use it. it's not useful if it's never drawn. imo the rough equivalence for applying an edition randomly across the choice of either the joker or hand cardareas would be 1 random joker or 2 random cards in hand

OR

...the edition is stronger on the card than on the joker

that's an interesting idea. having a condition where editions on cards are twice the value as they would be on a joker

now you've got me ideating

[vocal cedar]

i think im just gonna make it the "hex" of irid lol so it only hits jokers

[vocal cedar]

o

[vocal cedar]

so heres something i cooked up a while ago

negative playing card rework

[vocal cedar]

Negative Playing cards act COMPLETELY different from their joker cousins
Besides giving you +1 hand size when drawn, they ALWAYS score (like if splash joker was here) and have a 1 in 2 chance to retrigger

Also, Death, Cryptid, and DNA cannot copy the negative

only the seals and enhancements of the card

[rapid stag]

maybe not the retrigger

[vocal cedar]

so this discourages you from just making a brillion negative red seal kings

maybe now, havent played with wm that much yest

not*

[rapid stag]

yeah, other than the retrigger part, with the caveat that you just can't replicate negative playing cards in any way, that feels surprisingly balanced

[vocal cedar]

i got this dude right

currently him and standard packs are the only way to get the negatives in your hand

when you could copy the edition with death and cryptid shit got really stupid really fast cause mime and baron would actually start drooling over those negatives with gold and steel

it was either that, or nerf mime and baron to not be able to work with negative kings, and negative steel and golds respectively

[rapid stag]

i see. see, i have plans for joker functionality that makes specific cards negative. and this is a specific form of a forms-based joker which changes forms based on the first played hand, like cardsauce's slay the spire joker, but based on hand type rather than first card suit, this being straight flush

[vocal cedar]

and i liked the "cant copy negative enditions over on playing cards"

[vocal cedar]

heres what i would warn you about

be super carefull with negative playing cards

they

[rapid stag]

yeah

[vocal cedar]

have NO downside lol

[rapid stag]

they're weird

[vocal cedar]

literally breaks the game as an idea.

bc there is no downside to drawing them

[rapid stag]

i think your idea gels really well with what i want to do

[vocal cedar]

you can clog tf outta your deck with them and its fine

[vocal cedar]

bro feel free to steal it

[rapid stag]

yeah, i just think they should be hard to get

[vocal cedar]

or better yet when i do the lovely patch ill send you my code

give me the day

basically

Negative Playing cards always score
Negative playing cards when Copied, or Deathed, do not transfer the negative edition to the copies

ill have that done by tonight probs lol

[vocal cedar]

not awful actually

[cursive sentinel]

perhaps making colors of the front and back a bit more different, either in values or in hue

but does look more readable

[vocal cedar]

hmm good idea

[rapid stag]

i think the biggest reason why i like this idea for negative playing cards is that it brings their acquisition closer to how negative jokers are, at least in vanilla - like every ability that duplicates a joker never allows it to create another negative joker

if that makes sense

[vocal cedar]

yeah thats what im going for

ankh and invis

they no likey

negative has always been the super odd "ooh shiny" ass edition

bc its just so different from the other vanilla editions

literally does jack shit for scoring

but so good

bc jorker slot

@daring fern this you?

last question, if you have a localization file in your mod folder how do you tell the game to use it instead of the base games localization

like i have an edited copy of en.loc in my mod older

[rapid stag]

that's determined by file structure and naming

[vocal cedar]

that does the "mr fantsastic" lol

oh i cant just completly overwrite the normal one?

[cursive sentinel]

bump, it interacts also poorly with needle, since both burglar and needle dont touch the hands_left but only ease 😔

[vocal cedar]

hold on

so

you want it to overwrite burgular?

[cursive sentinel]

i can drop the code if it helps

[cursive sentinel]

no, rather execute in order i'd guess

[vocal cedar]

im still trying to figure out whats the problem lol

oh okay

hmm

[cursive sentinel]

like if right to burglar, would reduce its hands created

if left, not

[vocal cedar]

so needle by the way is POORLY coded by thunk, keep this in mind

basically

needle doesnt set hands to 1

[cursive sentinel]

yes i know

i've read it

[vocal cedar]

it SUBTRACTS OR ADDS HANDS to one

yeah lol

SO

[cursive sentinel]

same for burglar

[vocal cedar]

its gonna be a nightmare anyway

[rapid stag]

there are other options such as SMODS.process_loc_text() but this is the usually easiest, most reliable and most mod-compatible way to consistently get exactly what you want

basically has to be */localizations/[the localisation name].lua
and the filename has to be either default.lua or the name of an existing localisation language (either in vanilla or one you add such as via SMODS.Language()), such as en-US.lua

[cursive sentinel]

if context.setting_blind and not context.blueprint then
            local lost = G.GAME.current_round.hands_left - 1
            print(lost)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                ease_hands_played(-lost)
                card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + (card.ability.extra.xmultmod * lost)
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = 'All in!'})
            return true end }))
        end

        if context.joker_main then
            return{
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end

        if context.end_of_round then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = 1
        end```

[rapid stag]

steamodded wiki has good documentation on it https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[vocal cedar]

so if i drop an en-us into my localization it will overwrite the base games?

[vocal cedar]

ooh

first of all cool ass idea lol

second of all thats going to be a nightmare to code with the vouchers the way you have it i think

[cursive sentinel]

😔

[vocal cedar]

let me move this into my vscode rq

[vocal cedar]

we love smods here

[rapid stag]

it overwrites any existing items and adds any new ones. but to my understanding it never removes anything

[cursive sentinel]

vouchers or troubadour goes on the variable i modify though so no issue

it's rly just needle and burglar

[vocal cedar]

oh good

hmm

[verbal hare]

Bump

[vocal cedar]

show me your code?

and also perhaps your atlas

[rapid stag]

so your localisation file only needs to include changes or additions you want to make and it will process them accordingly

[woeful stratus]

i don't think you need to add an event there

ease_hands_played already does

[vocal cedar]

let me try smth hold on

[brisk rose]

hmm, I think the only reason it's like that is for balancing those specific things, which is why mods not having that restirction in some cases can still fit just as well. Ofc playing cards are their own thing, I just don't really buy little situational balancing things like that as things with conceptual weight to be matched against

though from skipping the convo, it likely has a lot of practical balanving advantages in this case

[cursive sentinel]

ive blindly re-used the structure for burglar's modification of discards

[rapid stag]

how are you structuring your joker? what is your joker code

[cursive sentinel]

i havent been coding for long so im not rly familiar with what structure or method or else is for

[woeful stratus]

i didn't know burglar did it that way, but looking sat the code you are right

what does this do rn if u have burglar?

[woeful stratus]

o wait, i think i know the issue

[cursive sentinel]

it sets hands to 1, then burglar takes effect

thus, easing 3 additional hands up to 4

[woeful stratus]

put lost inside the event

[cursive sentinel]

and for needle, on red deck for instance, it eases me -3 hands down to -2 hands

ok

trying lost in event

[woeful stratus]

yeah, because you are calculating the amount of hands to lose before the event takes place

[cursive sentinel]

ahhh

yeah events are delayed

ok will try

[vocal cedar]

stellar news, you can just straight throw whatever the FUCK you want in localization and it just DOES it thats AWESOME

ugh

thank you john smods

[rapid stag]

yep

[cursive sentinel]

ok doesnt bug with needle anymore, although it still gives me 4 hands with burglar

its like burglar will always take effect after my joker for some reason

[worthy stirrup]

How do I define what the blueprint joker does to my own?

[vocal cedar]

it does it for you, you can overwrite it if needed but it should work fine by itself

blueprint is coded to just "turn into" the joker its copying

so

you dont really gotta do anything

[cursive sentinel]

would there be a way to (ugly) detect specifically if there is a burglar on one of the left spots to my joker and jokers copying this burglar?

[vocal cedar]

unless you SPECIFICALLY need it to not copy (like a scaling joker)

[woeful stratus]

i think it may be because ease_hands_played also makes an event

so it's delayed two times

[vocal cedar]

if your joker scales its a good idea to overwrite it with context.blueprint and make sure it only copies the scoring part

[cursive sentinel]

isn't there a way to change event priorities?

[vocal cedar]

context.jokers[0] i thinl

[cursive sentinel]

like adding a delay to my owns calculation

[vocal cedar]

thats UGLLYY but it should work perhaps

[vocal cedar]

again

[worthy stirrup]

It says I need to define it?

[vocal cedar]

you dont need to

i promise

[woeful stratus]

i'm not super versed in events

[cursive sentinel]

ok will look into it

[woeful stratus]

but you can delay them i think

[worthy stirrup]

No offense, I’m gonna trust the documentation before you

[vocal cedar]

bro alright lmfao

[daring fern]

context.jokers doesn't exist and even if it did it would be context.jokers[1]

[vocal cedar]

why do i even bother

[vocal cedar]

oh im crossing wires

[woeful stratus]

you only need to define it if you want it to exclude some effects

otherwise it's automatic

[vocal cedar]

dude

documentation is misleading,

like i literally just said, blueprint and brainstorm copy your jokers code to a t

if you dont WANT them to you have to define your jokers behavior

say you make a gros michel joker, if blueprint was copying it exatly, then your blueprint might literally go extinct, so we do a blueprint context override to make it so blueprint only copies the +15 mult

oh look other people are also saying its automatic

which is achived with a statement kinda like

[daring fern]

No.

[vocal cedar]

nope hold on

false info

[woeful stratus]

the documentation is a bit misleading

[unborn bay]

python coded

[brisk rose]

It's the setting it to false that doesn't work automatically

For some reason

[vocal cedar]

wait yeah

its context.blueprint hello

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

It's not context.blueprint if you want to disable it, elsewise it is nothing.

[brisk rose]

I can't fathom a reason why you'd want it to say incompatible but still interact in act way with bp

[worthy stirrup]

War has broken out in the modding dev

[vocal cedar]

no you can use context.blueprint to help you define the functions

[vocal cedar]

not really

[woeful stratus]

they mean if you want it to do something only if copied i think

[worthy stirrup]

I mean, it was a joke.

[brisk rose]

So I don't get why that wasn't programmed to do something automatically

[vocal cedar]

heres what i mean @worthy stirrup

[brisk rose]

I mean I know it's just flipping a switch that already exists in the base game and is only cosmetic at least I presume that's why it is how it is

[cursive sentinel]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                local lost = G.GAME.current_round.hands_left - 1
                print(lost)
                ease_hands_played(-lost)
                card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + (card.ability.extra.xmultmod * lost)
                card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = 'All in!'})
            return true end }))```

[vocal cedar]

you can see i check to make sure its not context.blueprint and then do the "do i kill the banana"

[cursive sentinel]

the delay doesnt seem to change

[unborn bay]

why is there war in modding dev

[cursive sentinel]

i guess burglar always worked on needle bcs the execution of blind must be before the one of jokers on setting_blind, but the interaction joker - joker is weird

[glad osprey]

when isnt there

[vocal cedar]

ther is NO WAR in modding dev

i cant post gifs

[worthy stirrup]

Now I have become death… destroyer of modding dev.

[vocal cedar]

trying to post the 1984

[vocal cedar]

you came in here and asked a question, got an answer, and went "i dont think so" well yeah

[glad osprey]

this shit is NOT ba sing se

[vocal cedar]

someone mention a certain town square

[brisk rose]

To be fair this place is usually the blind leading he blind

So skepticism is warranted

[unborn bay]

ok so general pointers about blueprint

• blueprint_compat is for the VISUAL INDICATOR for blueprintable cards. thunk coded it like that, so smods will make it stay like that
• context.blueprint is a boolean that returns true IF the card is being copied BY a blueprint. to make a card not be copied in any way shape or form you could add a not statement

[worthy stirrup]

Well, the documentation said otherwise, so why would I believe you

[brisk rose]

I mean... that's not a good mindset either, far from it

[sturdy compass]

The bourgeoisie (Thunk) made it so

[worthy stirrup]

I’m aware, but like, I think the documentation would be somewhat correct

[glad osprey]

if the documentation jumped off a bridge would you too

[worthy stirrup]

Yea

[brisk rose]

The documentation is ambiguous and has many shortcomings

[glad osprey]

fuck

[worthy stirrup]

[red flower]

the documentation is correct, just ambiguous

[vocal cedar]

the DOCUMENTATION IS correct you are READING it wrong because the socumentation IS MEIDGLWALEADING

[brisk rose]

It is somewhat correct. The thing that isn't automatic oil turning blueprint campatibility off

[vocal cedar]

JKLFAJFAK;JL F;JLHF

[worthy stirrup]

[woeful stratus]

yeah, it's 100% correct

[sturdy compass]

I came at a bad time I think 😭

[vocal cedar]

im about to GET ambiguous

[rapid stag]

what are any of you even saying, the documentation says this:

i don't know how this isn't clear

[vocal cedar]

ITS AUTOMATIC tho

[worthy stirrup]

It says I need to define it, I was asking how to define it

[red flower]

this is the 4th documentation discussion i have seen this week

[brisk rose]

They thought it was the other way around

[vocal cedar]

and it looks like its saying we gotta define it

[brisk rose]

That it was off by default

[worthy stirrup]

And I was told it does it by it self

[sturdy compass]

Who said that

Cuz that is wrong

[glad osprey]

BEHAVIOR

[worthy stirrup]

Mrfreese

[vocal cedar]

:3

hai

[sturdy compass]

Bruh

[glad osprey]

BE
HAV
IOR

[worthy stirrup]

^

[vocal cedar]

:3

[vocal cedar]

yes

[brisk rose]

Is the default behavior nothing or a full copy? That's the question

[vocal cedar]

i did

i did say that

[glad osprey]

full copt

[worthy stirrup]

Your honor, you wasn’t even there

[vocal cedar]

okay

for THE LAST TIME

[glad osprey]

its literally using the exact same calculare

[brisk rose]

I know the answer

[red flower]

the problem here is what you consider as defining behavior
blueprint copies by default, the behavior comes from you defining when it shouldn't copy

[brisk rose]

This was for the class

[rapid stag]

ahhh i see the issue

yeah, that could definitely be worded better

[quartz ravine]

Oh wow! I had no idea blueprint_compat doesn't control whether a card works with blueprint. I need to go verify this, it's shocking to me!

[glad osprey]

i will slaughter you

[vocal cedar]

Blueprint is coded in the game to DEEP COPY THE JOKER ITS LOOKING AT
if a joker is being copied by blueprint context.blueprint = TRUE so you can put da IF statements in so your BLUEPRINT doesnt EXPLODE or DIE

[red flower]

don't be mean lol

[vocal cedar]

nah hold on hes cooking

[quartz ravine]

I just got here! I guess folks have been having some spirited discussion?

[sturdy compass]

This is a yelling match now

[red flower]

it seems

[vocal cedar]

@quartz ravine but how do i define my jokers blueprint behavior

[sturdy compass]

:(

[worthy stirrup]

[glad osprey]

if blueprint then there will be context.blueprint

literally thats it

[red flower]

what about brainstorm

[ancient sun]

listen folks violence is never the answer

[glad osprey]

that uses the exact same system

[worthy stirrup]

I think it calls that context still

[sturdy compass]

Same deal
