[desert ore]

I'll bring it up later when it's relevent

[brisk rose]

Brain did stupid again

[daring fern]

At the top of every lovely file there something like this, the priority means the order lovely will take when patching.

[brisk rose]

I forgor you'll always have smodded for most mods

And it changes a lot

[daring fern]

Higher numbers go last.

[desert ore]

ah, so it's literally just arbitrary number set, gotcha

[brisk rose]

Jen with his infinite priority

[desert ore]

I see why that would be annoying for mod compatibility

[brisk rose]

(Or is it negative inf?, there's benefits to going first an)d last

Tbh i think he had to change it anyway

[daring fern]

It says naneinf so I assume last.

[brisk rose]

Tbh I think everyone patching blindly into the same code base is exactly what a modding api like smods is supposed to prevent

There's a reason even lovelydev says patches should be a lost resort

[wintry solar]

If you’re sensible about it, patching is fine

[dapper sun]

who does trying to navigate to my custom skin crash the game?

[brisk rose]

Fine sure, but inherently less ideal imo

[wintry solar]

There’s a lot of things that you can’t do without patching

[gaunt thistle]

err yeah it's counter intuitive

but it makes sense in my head so

[dapper sun]

does anyone know why it's crashing?

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, use patches judiciously and it'll be fine most of the time. good patch hygiene also helps quite a bit.

[gaunt thistle]

what error are you getting?

[zealous glen]

What’s good patch hygiene

[gaunt thistle]

avoid at as much as possible

use it if you must but do.so carefully

[dapper sun]

i did send the error

[gaunt thistle]

ah mb

[dapper sun]

here

[gaunt thistle]

brain no work

been up too late

[dapper sun]

[zealous glen]

I’ve used at to turn if A into if A _ B

Where _ is some logical operator

[gaunt thistle]

which would then break a patch which targets the line that was overwritten

[zealous glen]

Obviously

[gaunt thistle]

that's one of the good used of at patching

[zealous glen]

But without an API for such specific lines it’s not easy to handle it well

[gaunt thistle]

yeah it's unwieldy

[zealous glen]

An alternative are multiple patches trying to mimic a logical operator

Like nesting an if inside another for and

But is multiple patches better than one?

It also depends on other factors, since you can’t always do that neatly

[dapper sun]

so, can u tell what's causing it? bc it looks like nothing should be wrong

[gaunt thistle]

it's all about using the right tool for the job. in general if you can avoid an at patch in a way that is convenient then please do so, otherwise it's fine.

[gaunt thistle]

no clue! sowwy

I'm just the patch guy

[dapper sun]

fair

[gaunt thistle]

I'm also on mobile so my debugging ability is pretty limited

[shell timber]

once again thank you so much for making lovely so we dont have to manually patch the exe every time we update

[dapper sun]

ah

[zealous glen]

Metheuwul

[gaunt thistle]

my pleasure, it's been a fun project haha

pre lovely was pretty grim

[shell timber]

it was indeed

a bunch of stuff just wasn't possible

[gaunt thistle]

yeah. smods did similar-ish patching to the game but that functionality wasn't exposed

which was really limiting if you were making a mod

fun times

[shell timber]

i remember scrapping at least one joker because it would have required a patch

[zealous glen]

In the future when we have Quantum Ranks and the Great Joker Supercollider: “Forsooth, we were such caveclowns once in the past.”

[gaunt thistle]

back then I guess your only option was to copy what smods was doing and write a weird powershell injector

[hushed field]

caveclowns as a word goes fucking hard

[shell timber]

i dont remember anyone doing that because that would have been Horrible

[gaunt thistle]

haha yeah

lovely patches aren't easy per say but they at least make it a viable thing to do

[shell timber]

im still shocked that codex arcanum worked without any lovely patches

[gaunt thistle]

although I've also been really happy with how good the patch format has held up over time. it's been pretty flexible, all things considered.

[gaunt thistle]

really? jeez

that's impressive

[shell timber]

yeah but that led to some issues with crossmod compatibility iirc?

actually i know that happened because that's the reason colour cards weren't in the shop pool originally

[dapper sun]

the old crash had other mods that may be interfering. here's a newer crash log with just my mod enabled

[shell timber]

new modders have it easy with smods 1.0 and lovely

i say that as like half a joke

[gaunt thistle]

back then we had .98 and a stick and we liked it

1 million downloads is actually mind boggling, thanks guys

[shell timber]

wow

[gaunt thistle]

the scene has definitely come a long way haha

and it's remained really strong which has been cool to see

[brisk rose]

I guess that'll always be true without smods rewriting the entire game to make it fundamentally modular and expandable, patching it in, and exposing every api imaginable. Which would of course be mikelyyears of work and break everything that already exists

Maybe when balatro is a retro game in 20 years

And not a living codebase

[gaunt thistle]

maybe in a couple of years

it'll be interesting to see how things break when the game updates

[reef belfry]

would checking how many cards are not scoring be something like #G.play.cards - #context.scoring_hand ?

[zealous glen]

Back in meth’s day they coded uphill both ways

[candid sleet]

how would you go about writing the effect for this?

[daring fern]

Return swap = true

[bold sleet]

hey, does anyone happen to know where the buy and sell values of each card is stored?

[daring fern]

card.cost and card.sell_cost respectively.

[bold sleet]

oko

[candid sleet]

right uh what else do i need to do to make it work

right now it just prints hello

i might just be completely misinterpreting what the swap function does

[daring fern]

Do it in context.joker_main

[candid sleet]

ah ok

i wanted to have it do the swap before chip/mult scoring jokers activate, is there a context that would work for that

i just tested joker_main and it did it after mult scoring

[maiden phoenix]

#context.full_hand - #context.scoring_hand

Or you can loop in full_hand and use not SMODS.in_scoring()

[candid sleet]

oh i see it does it before xMult interesting

[weary haven]

ok so whattup someone was showing me how to do multiple deckskins in one file

but i gotta set the atlases up for multiple suits in one png

OH thats what deck style means i am a gemius

ok so, obviously im an idiot, what do i wanna set key and loc_txt to for a suit

idk what theyre used for

[sturdy compass]

Do you mean for the palette?

[zealous glen]

Key is an internal identifier

loc_txt is for the localization. I think for DeckSkins it’s the name displayed in-game

[weary haven]

does that mean when selecting it or does it like, replace instances of that suit's name

[zealous glen]

Selecting

[digital valve]

How difficult would it be to make a Balatro mod which adds a few new jokers, with zero experience? Obviously, it would likely depend on how complex the joker’s functions are but if we’re speaking generally?

I’ve got a bit of HTML experience from school but really nothing else outside of it lmfao

[candid sleet]

I'm currently in the process of doing that myself and it's not awful

Plus they're really helpful here whenever I get stuck

[manic rune]

well id suggest checking out #1349064230825103441 :p

and if you have any problems, feel free to ask here

i personally think its not too hard, since lua is pretty straightforward

[hard flume]

Hi

[tepid crow]

Yooo that's insane

[plain apex]

i mean i started a few months back now? and i've made all this stuff so like id say as long as you like use resources like the balatro source code and look at how other mods did some things you'll get the hang of it

[midnight coyote]

how would i make all cards of a certain type be ‘considered’ as a different card

[long sun]

hiya! i'm making a Planet card — what goes in loc_vars?

can't find where the game put the planet loc_vars

[shell timber]

you can look at what potassium does

just remove the Glop stuff

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Potassium

[long sun]

ah thanks :D!

[red flower]

can you elaborate?

[midnight coyote]

i want to make a joker that makes all face cards be considered queens, without changing their rank

in a similar fashion to how paradolia does it, for example

[long sun]

i'd hook get_id()

[red flower]

you might want to hook get_id for that

[unborn bay]

you'd need to hook into get_id

[midnight coyote]

alright

thanks

[unborn bay]

damn triple jinx

[midnight coyote]

so would i check for presence of the joker in the hook?

[red flower]

SMODS.find_card

[midnight coyote]

alright

and then that function takes the card id, right

[primal terrace]

The "Maximized" Joker from the Cryptid mod does something similar, I had to reference it for my own one

[midnight coyote]

where’s the doc for that

[red flower]

it's in the wiki under utility iirc

[midnight coyote]

alright

thanks a bunch

you rock, as always

[primal terrace]

Anyway how would I go about destroying a random card in my full deck, not held in hand

[manic rune]

go through G.playing_cards

[primal terrace]

And I reckon context.destroyed_cards also works within the full deck?

[manic rune]

i think so :p

[midnight coyote]

what does get_id take?

[manic rune]

the id of the playing card

[primal terrace]

I guess no one is daring enough to nix cards in the full deck yet

[red flower]

it takes self

[midnight coyote]

thanks

[manic rune]

🤔

[red flower]

destroy_card works with G.deck but it's an optional feature

[midnight coyote]

if i do SMODS.find_card(“foobar”), will it return true if found and false otherwise

[primal terrace]

Optional?

[red flower]

yes you need to enable it because calculations in deck are performance heavy

[manic rune]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = {cardareas = {deck = true}}

[midnight coyote]

provided a card with the key foobar exists

[manic rune]

put that at the top of your code

[red flower]

for your effect you don't need destroy_card tho because you don't need to do it during scoring

[midnight coyote]

ykw let me just test this out

how about that

[primal terrace]

Ah, I guess that's why the effect isn't common

[red flower]

it returns a list of cards, use next(SMODS.find_card(...))

[midnight coyote]

o alright

just like that or replace the elipsis with the key of the card i want to be found

and i’m guessing that would return nil if it can’t find anything?

[red flower]

nah, you dont need that if you destroy them when blind is selected

i have this and i dont use the optional features

[primal terrace]

Fucking awesome

[red flower]

exactly

[midnight coyote]

alrighty

i’m getting better at this lua stuff

outdated code but

[hard flume]

Hi :3

[midnight coyote]

what does get_id() return?

[midnight coyote]

does it return a string

[native zinc]

int

[midnight coyote]

o

im guessing queen is 12?

[hard flume]

When I get home, I'm going to take a break from Pikmin and instead work on Pronouns for playing cards in Balatro

[unborn bay]

ids above 10 are jack, queen, king, and ace respectively

[native zinc]

2-10 for 2s-10s, J 11 Q 12 K 13 A 14

[unborn bay]

so 11, 12, 12 and 14

[midnight coyote]

yep

figures

[unborn bay]

12, 12

[midnight coyote]

alr

tanks

bam

[manic rune]

whats SMODS.get_id? 🤔

[red flower]

j_modprefix_key

[midnight coyote]

checks the id of a card

[manic rune]

o

[manic rune]

-# wait why did i forget that, i literally just answered above

[midnight coyote]

now to actually make the joker

[unborn bay]

bepis

[midnight coyote]

this shouldnt be too hard as ive already defined what it does

just gotta make a fun design, write some loc_txt and call it a day

im gonna make a ritual card like the crooked coin from tboi

[pale venture]

One question, i wanted a Joker to display a timer in its textbox, do i have to update the textbox every frame to make it display in real time? How can i do that?

[red flower]

didnt you want only face cards

[midnight coyote]

you're so right actually

should i use the og function to check for the card's actual id

[red flower]

add a UI element with main_start/main_end

[midnight coyote]

no wait

theres a func to check for face cards

im dumb :b

[red flower]

dont do is_face or you will get an infinite loop lol

[midnight coyote]

o

so i check for the id

[pale venture]

Alright, thank you

[midnight coyote]

can i do if smods_ref_get_id() == 11 or 12 or 13 or is this really stupid

wait

ykw

lets try it

[red flower]

yes

[midnight coyote]

i gotta get in the habit of asking less questions

and just trying shit

[tepid crow]

yes but only if it's coded properly

[midnight coyote]

meaning?

[tepid crow]

yes: x == 11 or x == 12 or x == 13
no: x == 11 or 12 or 13

I couldn't tell if that's something you already knew so I felt it was important enough to point out

[midnight coyote]

ohhh

alright

so how do i make this work with paradolia

do i just adjust wording

instead of face cards i’ll say ‘makes all Jacks and Kings be considered Queens’

[red flower]

you can just hard check for it

[tepid crow]

that works I guess

you could also do the same thing Astra did #💻・modding-dev message

[jolly prawn]

I've been making a card that reduces blind requirement by 19% and it works well but when you have more than 1 or it's being copied by blueprint/brainstorm all the reduction happens at once and I sort of want it to happen one at a time like when mult is added or smth similar. Is there any way I can do this? (video of card and code I made attatched, card.ability.extra.blind_dec is set to 19)

[midnight coyote]

oh yeah

but face cards in general seems op to me

so i’ll restrict it to kings and jacks

for balance

[daring fern]

The event manager?

[jolly prawn]

sorry, im new to this, but now the message wont appear and it still all happens at once, have i implemented the event wrong?

[daring fern]

Use SMODS.calculate_effect for the message and return true at the end.

[jolly prawn]

same problems again, have i formatted the calculate_effect wrong or something?

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({...}, card)

[tall wharf]

omg teto balatro mod

[jolly prawn]

I've got this and the message is appearing but the blind still decreases all at once

[tall wharf]

hmmm

add context.cardarea == G.jokers?

[jolly prawn]

ive tried both replacing the context.setting_blind with context.cardarea == G.jokers and combining them into 1 statement (if context.setting_blind and context.cardarea == G.jokers then) but neither make it work how Im trying to get it to. Just incase I wasn't clear earlier I want the blind to decrease when each individual joker activates instead of decreasing all at once at the start of the round

[rough furnace]

I think you can keep the message in the return and just use the event for changing the number

It should queue the message immediately after the number change (which takes no time so it seems st the same time)

[tepid crow]

I'm confused by this math btw. This isn't even 19% reduction?

oh wait 800 base blind size

ohhhh

[jolly prawn]

i dont know if this is what u meant but I tried it like this and it still all decreased at once

[tepid crow]

wilson meant a return outside outside the event

[rough furnace]

Like you had before

[tepid crow]

you could also try delaying the event with an after, or changing the context to be on round start instead since I suspect it's setting the blind size outside your visual view

[jolly prawn]

this one worked for me, thanks everyone!

[prisma hedge]

new to modding, not sure why my joker isn't triggering

supposed to give x2 mult when light cards are scored

[daring fern]

Try card = card, never use self most of the time.

Also card.ability.extra.Xmult

[prisma hedge]

still no trigger

[surreal coral]

Can you refer to an SMODS joker's calculate function? Gotta be stored somewhere in it's card right?

[prisma hedge]

is that related to what i'm doing or is that just a question

[surreal coral]

Nah just a question sorry

[prisma hedge]

ah ok

[daring fern]

You can get it from G.P_CENTERS[card.config.center.key].calculate you can't modify it or anything you can only run it.

[jolly prawn]

just a guess as I'm also new but because you've referred to your card as center elsewhere (like in the variables section), wouldn't you have to refer to it as center when calling your variable?

[tepid crow]

also also I don't think the next(SMODS.has_enhancement(...)) does anything when put there Liv

[surreal coral]

That should work, thank you!

[prisma hedge]

what should i do then?

[daring fern]

I don't think card.enhancement is a thing that exists?

[tepid crow]

I don't think so either. You should has the has_enhancement to see if... the card has the enhancement

[prisma hedge]

so like this?

[daring fern]

No, just do if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_cry_light" then also you need to be in a context.

Also you need to return x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult

[prisma hedge]

??

[daring fern]

Put that in a big if saying if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then

[prisma hedge]

put what

[daring fern]

Put everything inside the calculate function in that if.

[prisma hedge]

ah

[plain apex]

did you figure this out cause im trying to do the same with one of my enhancements and this does not work

[prisma hedge]

still nothing

[daring heron]

how do i decompile balatro's code again?

[dapper sun]

open the exe in winrar

[daring fern]

What extraction software do you use?

[prisma hedge]

7zip also works

[daring heron]

i dont have one, which one should i use?

[daring fern]

What if you looked if any of those jokers are present and changed a value in them?

[prisma hedge]

i use 7zip personally

[daring fern]

Probably 7zip

[daring heron]

aight

[dapper sun]

1. set card.[var_name] = true from inside the card when it triggers
2. check for context.other_card.[var_name] in the joker

[daring heron]

(btw how do yall make the text look like that)

[dapper sun]

`like this`

[daring heron]

hi

nice

[prisma hedge]

i'm not sure what could be wrong now

[plain apex]

so card.brick_trigger = true and context.other_card.brick_trigger?

[dapper sun]

yea

[plain apex]

yippee

[manic rune]

does increasing priority of my lovely patches make it so it happen first?

[daring heron]

okay, extracted it

where would i find the base joker code?

[daring fern]

No, it makes it happen last I think.

[manic rune]

ack

[daring fern]

card.lua

[daring heron]

and then what do i search?

[daring fern]

What are you looking for?

[proud moon]

you can also color it per language with

code = function()
  --comment :>
end

[daring heron]

just the base +4 mult joker

i tried searching for "joker" but theres like 300 results

[daring fern]

self.ability.name == 'Joker'

[daring heron]

this?

[proud moon]

the use of both 'text' and "text" bothers me in the games code, i wish the search feature had an option for counting ' and " as the same thing

[proud moon]

jimbo!

[daring heron]

is that really all the code it has?

[proud moon]

he doesnt do much

there is more tho

[daring heron]

ok fair but it doesnt look like it would +4 mult

[daring heron]

and where would i find that?

[proud moon]

good quesiton, im trying to find it too

[rough furnace]

I believe it happens later for lovely patches

[daring heron]

cuz i wanna make a test joker that just does +4 mult but ive never made a functional joker

[daring fern]

Are you talking about this?

[proud moon]

wait are you using smoded?

[proud moon]

yess

[daring heron]

actually, how do i make a joker that just does x1.25 mult?

[proud moon]

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

[daring fern]

You would return xmult = 1.25

[proud moon]

they have a regular jimbo in there, its a perfect place to start

[keen tiger]

okay im probably just bad at lua but why is G.hand.cards[0] yielding nil when there is an active hand

wait because lua is indexed at 1 i forgor baffling language

[manic rune]

yeah

[rough furnace]

Wait until you see my js code that's using 1 indexing

[keen tiger]

i love the first mover advantage!!!!!! i love how terrible design decisions become the industry standard because it was the first option on the market!!! woooo!!!!

[proud moon]

i like indexing starting at 0 because from a computer standpoint it makes more sense, 0-9 instead of 1-10 to save on digits, etc

[manic rune]

i this how i patch all (area.cards) to (area.cards or {})?

[rough furnace]

To be fair in C 0 indexing makes sense since an array is just a pointer and indexing is just pointer arithmetic

[rough furnace]

Regex has special meaning for ()

[keen tiger]

yeah this is the reason, a[n] could be reduced into basically a simple add $a, $n; load $a instruction

[rough furnace]

You'll need to escape them

[manic rune]

wh

how do i do that

[keen tiger]

\{\}

[manic rune]

ahhh icic, thanks

[proud moon]

"escape" sounds way more awesome than any other alternative

[manic rune]

so something like \(\area.cards\)\?

[keen tiger]

\(area.cards\)

you dont need to surround them

you just need slashes before

[manic rune]

oh

yeah thanks, thats the first time i used this :p

[rough furnace]

You might need \

Oh discord

2 backslash

[manic rune]

do i have to do that for payload too?

[rough furnace]

I don't think si

[manic rune]

oh my god it lives, thank you guys so much

[keen tiger]

regex is fun! its literally knitting instruction syntax + 60 years of hacky workarounds and legacy cruft!

[manic rune]

:3 looks as fun as trying to understand shaders, thats for sure

[daring heron]

whatd i do wrong 😔

--- Joker Test ---
SMODS.Joker {
    key = "jokertest",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Joker Test",
        text = {

        }
    },

    config = { extra = { mult * 1.25 } },

            }
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

main.lua.lua

[proud moon]

mult * 1.25

[proud moon]

should be mult = 1.25

[manic rune]

why did it

not replace all area.cards

[brisk rose]

Did you end up figuring out of getting help with your mod desx?

[daring heron]

i want it to xmult, not +

[daring heron]

sadly not

[proud moon]

mult_mod only does mult, you would need xmult_mod ( i think thats what its called)

[daring fern]

Why is your file called main.lua.lua?

[manic rune]

oh wait nvm, that was from my old patch

turned out it didnt work

[daring heron]

old-ish file

[brisk rose]

Did you ever do this?

[daring heron]

that was a mistake i made then and i forgot to fix it

[shut crater]

Try escaping the .

[daring heron]

no, i was infact not online

[brisk rose]

Damn lying green dot

[daring heron]

real

[manic rune]

...i really have no clue how to do this

[daring heron]

is it xmult instead of mult_mod?

[shut crater]

Just put a backslash before it

[manic rune]

\(area\.cards\)?

ah ic

[proud moon]

idk why the examples use mult_mod instead of just mult

mult, Xmult, and chips all do the same thing as the _mod versions, but they call the game's functions so there is a little animation too

[manic rune]

didnt work

[shut crater]

Regex terrifies me but is actually quite useful. There are websites online that will let you check your pattern to see if it'll work

[shut crater]

Try checking the pattern itself, if the pattern is fine then you may need overwrite = true in your patch

[daring heron]

okay it works, but it displays the image twice, one red and one orange

[proud moon]

(from the smods wiki on github in the calculate function section)

[daring fern]

What image?

[rough furnace]

Mult mod is the modifier usually used for scaling jokers

[daring heron]

nvm fixed it

[proud moon]

oh you dont need to return message, returning Xmult does that for you

[daring heron]

yep

[proud moon]

yea the _mod stuff its useful to know, but not to start with

[manic rune]

i checked the website, everything seems fine

[daring heron]

now i hope this question doesnt make yall mad considering the F situation but how do i play a sound?

(and what file format should it be?)

[crisp coral]

use SMODS.Sound to add the sound to the game, and play_sound(key, pitch, volume) to play it

.ogg preferred, .wav is okay

[proud moon]

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

[manic rune]

okay why did it replace the last occurrence, not everything

[daring heron]

what should i put in here?

[proud moon]

thats for if you are adding sounds, are you?

[brisk rose]

I pressed keys and paths and stuff

[proud moon]

like, new ones to the game

[manic rune]

WHY IS IT NOT WORKING

[daring heron]

yeah

i'm adding new ones

[brisk rose]

Do you understand what it says on the wiki? If not what's confusing?

[shut crater]

Show your patch again

[daring heron]

not really, i cant find out if it says what i need to put there or not

nor where

[shut crater]

According to the wiki, required parameters are key and path

[brisk rose]

Seems pretty straightforward?

[proud moon]

same as any object (that references a file)

[daring heron]

oh mb

[shut crater]

Whoa what is that target saying

It might be correct but I've never seen that syntax

[manic rune]

its targetting src/utils.lua from SMODS

[daring heron]

why does it give an error?

[manic rune]

im pretty certain thats correct, unless target in patches.pattern works differently compared to patches.regex

[daring heron]

normally i dont have to put a comma there

[brisk rose]

As for format, use ogg. I'm sure there's a reason if says not to use mp3 despite bent supported, abs wave is unessacarily big

[daring heron]

yeah i am

[brisk rose]

Do you have a meow.ogg, with an unstandard capital M is /assets/sounds?

[daring heron]

yup

[hearty mesa]

how would I add a sprite to my mod's config tab? would i useG.UIT.O?

[manic rune]

yes

[shut crater]

Here's a regex patch I wrote, I remember it being weird and funky so maybe you need to do the single quote thing like I did

[[patches]]
[patches.regex]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = 'hand_chips\*mult'
position = "at"
overwrite = true
match_indent = false
payload = "hand_chips^pow*mult"

[manic rune]

i will try

[brisk rose]

You still didn't lowercase your folders

[brisk rose]

And why do you have extensions hidden?

But I'm not sure either of those things would cause this

[manic rune]

OH MY GOD IT WORKS

somethingcom, can you try my mod again

:3

[brisk rose]

What if you put the comma it wants?

[hearty mesa]

.

[manic rune]

yes

i literally answered your question earlier 😭

[brisk rose]

Tbh I think we need the whole file

[proud moon]

whats the error

[wintry solar]

A bigger screenshot would be helpful

[keen tiger]

whats the card field determining if something is flipped over or not

i.e during wheel or water

nvm found it

[daring fern]

Sound needs to be lowercase?

[wintry solar]

That doesn’t matter

[rare obsidian]

can someone tell me how to add an edition that uses a scribbled.fs shader??

[brisk rose]

I see why it says you need a comma after the sound def.... you just do I think

[wintry solar]

Well, it does matter, but that’s not why it’s crashing

Is there a crash report?

[daring heron]

ig it fixed itself

still doesnt work tho

[shut crater]

Your return is incorrect

[daring heron]

hm?

it doesnt give an error

[shut crater]

You need to put the key of your sound as the return value

[shut crater]

Clearly it does lol

[brisk rose]

Your sounds folder being /Assets/Sounds instead of assets/sounds can't be ideal

Not the crash

But still

[daring heron]

yeah i changed it

[shut crater]

I believe the key is probably "prefix_Meow"

[daring heron]

i did

ohh

[shut crater]

In quotes

oh mb

still doesnt work though

SMODS.Sound

[brisk rose]

Oh he had that correct before

[daring heron]

mm nice it works

nvm, game crashes when the joker is shown

anywhere

[sonic cedar]

bumping this but now as a general question

[daring fern]

Atlas needs to be jokers

[daring heron]

oops, overlooked that

mod still crashes sadly

[shut crater]

So the atlas field in your joker is still capitalized

But the key of your atlas is lowercase

[sonic cedar]

so change line 39 to lowercase

[daring heron]

oop

sound didnt play tho

but it didnt crash

[sonic cedar]

your sound keys dont match

example

still doesnt work

[sonic cedar]

quick question is that atlas working now

[daring heron]

which one?

the sounds one?

[sonic cedar]

no, visual

[daring heron]

this one works if you're talking abt that

[sonic cedar]

ok cool

can you put parentheses around the brackets in the sound one just in case that is it

[daring heron]

around the key?

or path

[sonic cedar]

around thr brackets

[daring heron]

??

theres like 10 brackets in the code

the ones in ther sounds atlas?

cuz that just gives an error

[wintry solar]

Sounds don’t work with automatic messaging iirc

[sonic cedar]

i just realized ur using an auto message

[daring heron]

so how do i do that then

[sonic cedar]

return it manually

[wintry solar]

You need to add remove_default_message = true too

[daring heron]

to where?

[sonic cedar]

outside of calculate im p sure

[wintry solar]

No

In the return

[sonic cedar]

yeah i just looked i was thinking of the other thing

mb mb

[daring heron]

like this?

[sonic cedar]

try a localized message instead so you don't have to type out a string

[daring heron]

how do i do that?

[sonic cedar]

regular +mult version of what i mean

though in your case itd be x_mult i believe (do xmult if it doesnt work cause i tend to get them switched up)

[daring heron]

it works, but i want it to be red, and it displays ERROR

[sonic cedar]

send code

Why did you remove the xmult?

And it should be a_xmult

[daring heron]

yeah thatd do it

[sonic cedar]

got them switched again 🥀

[daring heron]

its still yellow tho

[daring fern]

Put colour = G.C.MULT

In the return.

``` well i changed the sound and now it doesnt work

[daring fern]

Remove mod_ when defining your sound.

[sonic cedar]

i do it with the mod prefix on both and it works fine?

[daring heron]

like this?

cuz it still doesnt work

[sonic cedar]

@daring fern

[daring heron]

i dont even have a card.lua

[sonic cedar]

are we fr

[daring heron]

made a new save file and it crashes whenever the joker activates

[daring fern]

That's from the games files.

[sonic cedar]

yeah

[daring fern]

That means there is something wrong with the sound.

[sonic cedar]

maybe cause theyre using old header method?

[daring fern]

What does your sounds folder look like?

[daring fern]

Is that an ogg file?

[sonic cedar]

is it acrually an ogg fi- yeah

[daring heron]

yep

[daring fern]

Your sounds folder needs to be in assets

[daring heron]

oh

[sonic cedar]

youre faster than me rarrgh

but yeah

[daring heron]

how do i play a sound from balatro again

[sonic cedar]

i think you just use the base game's sound key?

[daring fern]

Look in resources/sounds from the main game files and look at the file name and that is the usually the key.

[daring heron]

nvm found it

can i make it play multiple sounds at once?

[daring fern]

Use play_sound multiple times.

[sonic cedar]

simply do it again

[daring heron]

tried but that doesnt work

only plays multhit1

[daring fern]

Your overwriting the old sound.

[sonic cedar]

use play_sound

[daring heron]

how do i make it not do that

oh okay

like this?

that still overrides it doesnt it

[daring fern]

No?

But also no.

[sonic cedar]

play_sound

[daring heron]

oh

[sonic cedar]

this was used in an event though i dont actually know if you can call it straight up in the return

[daring heron]

well it works but it plays it whenever i play the hand, not when it activates

[sonic cedar]

that would have to be a different context though wouldnt it

[daring heron]

how do i do that then

[sonic cedar]

maybe?

[daring heron]

like this?

[sonic cedar]

try it

[daring heron]

doesnt work

the sounds dont play at all

[daring fern]

No, try doing ```lua
func = function()
play_sound('multhit1')
play_sound('mod_catsalad')
end

In the return.

[sonic cedar]

true just making it func is way easier

[daring fern]

That's because you don't have it enabled and you don't need it enabled.

It's better to keep it off unless you do.

[daring heron]

like this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring heron]

that just plays it when i play hand again

[wintry solar]

You need an event

[sonic cedar]

question answered then

[bold sleet]

Me am very not understand.

[daring heron]

honestly i probably know how but i forgor

how do i add an event again

[wintry solar]

What’s your set edition look like?

[bold sleet]

hold on

I may be stupid

[sonic cedar]

example of a card changing into another using an event

[bold sleet]

Ok, I was in fact, stupid

[sonic cedar]

choose when you want yours to trigger
delay if any
and then put the func you just made into there

[shut crater]

mood

[daring heron]

??

nvm i think i got it

ow my ears

it just infinitely plays it

[red flower]

you need to return true for events to end

[daring heron]

alright, how do i make the sound pitch higher each time like how the mult hit does?

[sonic cedar]

doesnt it do that automatically

or no

[daring heron]

no

[sonic cedar]

hm

[willow plinth]

if i've read the docs correctly, this should be 1:1 the same, right?

[crisp coral]

fucked up syntax???

[willow plinth]

typescript yeah

[crisp coral]

yes except start materialize

[shell timber]

...why are you making mods in typescript

lua isn't good but typescript is definitely not better

[hard needle]

how are you even making mods in typescript

[willow plinth]

i don't like lua and i write javascript every day

[crisp coral]

quirked up

[willow plinth]

typescripttolua

[shell timber]

the WHAT

this is not real

[crisp coral]

that exists????

[hard needle]

that's.. oddly specific

[shell timber]

...

[crisp coral]

holy shit

[golden lake]

fucked up and evil do not use this

[crisp coral]

hi akai

[shell timber]

True...

[willow plinth]

but why do both create_card and add_card take a skip_materialize option then? 🤔

[golden lake]

hi myst

balatrostuck soon

[sonic cedar]

ts (typescript) pmo

[crisp coral]

real

[sonic cedar]

🥀

[crisp coral]

idk

[willow plinth]

man i feel like garbage

[crisp coral]

idr smods create card having materialize but i could just be a dumbass

[edgy reef]

Sometimes you wanna skip the materialization animations, sometimes you don't.

[daring heron]

how would i make a card retrigger each stone card played?

[willow plinth]

yeah but then this is wrong, no? #💻・modding-dev message

[edgy reef]

But it's not?

[willow plinth]

bruh 😭

whatever then, typescript is bad and create_card has a useless skip_materialize param, thanks guys lol

[primal robin]

Typescript is bad that's true, as a web dev I can confirm

[shell timber]

typescript has its uses this is not it

[primal robin]

But skip_materialize is not useless

[hard needle]

typescripttolua is such an oddly specific project?

are there any other projects that convert languages to lua

or vice vers

a

[chrome widget]

My past employment was using typescript and honestly I like it a lot

Can recommend

[willow plinth]

it would be if add_card had no start_materialize by default

[crisp coral]

pythontocpp when

[willow plinth]

being able to write mods in different, especially more popular languages, is a net positive, but anyway, i'll ask here again once you guys are over that lol

[primal robin]

SMODS.add_card is just small upgrade over SMODS.create_card

[shell timber]

i don't really care it's just an interesting decision

[primal robin]

So both of them uses skip_materialize

[sonic cedar]

jstobash trust

[chrome widget]

The response was weirdly negative yeah

Have fun with it, Typescript is cool

[edgy reef]

I've thought of doing Rust for fun but I'd basically have to write the classes inside of it too in order to properly work.

And I'm too lazy to bother

[sonic cedar]

im a fake hater i just thought itd be funny

[edgy reef]

(also requiring you to put a dll in your game folder)

[primal robin]

JS my beloved

[shell timber]

rust is real and good but overhyped

[hard needle]

nah i dont really care lol

[chrome widget]

Personally I don't like JS on its own, though after having used Lua, I'd probably be more open to it. TypeScript's better tools and type safety spoiled me

But Lua has me doing shit with a lot of lack of intellisense

[primal robin]

Type safety is a myph

[willow plinth]

yes...i feel like you arguing my point :/

me ask: are these the same: (vanilla create_card + set_edition + add_to_deck + emplace + start_materialize) -> create_card({area, edition, key, set})
myst says: yes except start_materialize

me think: why would they accept a skip_materialize param then, if there is no start_materialize inside of SMODS' create_card/add_card?

that's all i'm saying but i think i misunderstood something

[chrome widget]

Well yeah that's not a good description on my part, TS doesn't have type safety, but the information gives by its types guides programming better

[primal robin]

Man, just open SMODs source code and check yourself

Questions?

[edgy reef]

There's isn't a start_materialize param to begin with.

[willow plinth]

i never said so?

[chrome widget]

(SMODS source code could really use some comment function documentation though)

[daring heron]

how would i make a joker that retriggers each played stone card?

[chrome widget]

I wonder if it'd be a fun project to do it myself

[daring fern]

In context.repetition check if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") then return the amount of repetitions.

[scarlet spire]

who knew that smods has built in functions to increase the voucher slots and booster slots overstock-style? I didn't, until I had already attempted to implement it manually

[edgy reef]

Tbf that was like a week ago at least

Utility docs have not been updated yet I think

[scarlet spire]

i've used them for a while now
I'm not complaining or anything, I just find it neat

since then I check the smods code every now and then for cool functions I may have missed

[edgy reef]

wait yeah it was two months ago lmfao

[rare obsidian]

How do I add an Edition?

[chrome widget]

card:set_edition(key)

It's a vanilla function

[rare obsidian]

no like make a new one

[chrome widget]

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

Resources here!!

[rare obsidian]

theres like no documentation lol

ooh nvm

[primal robin]

[rare obsidian]

im slow

[scarlet spire]

it's pretty similar to an enhancement, but for shader stuff that's a lot more complicated

[chrome widget]

The page describes the use of the SMODS.Edition() function to add a new edition

So you call that function with a table containing arguments to create your edition

[willow plinth]

not the gotcha you think it is lol

i actually dived into vanilla create_card now and the actual unexpected thing is it only using start_materialize when the card is a consumeable

but you are right, i could've looked there in the first place to avoid this clownfest in here

[cyan lagoon]

how can i make a joker trigger an effect of some other joker?

[placid star]

i have a cardarea that that is spawned by a joker being added to deck, i can emplace a card into it but for somereason the card doesnt show up in the cardarea, even though you can see that theres a slot taken up and there is a joker in the area

[rare obsidian]

look at blueprint maybe?

no idea if thats helpful lol

[chrome widget]

Yeah, I'm not 100% certain the reason for skip_materialize other than just what I assume is some weird event delays stuff. Most of the times i've implemented create cards, I've manually triggered the materialize afterwards myself (mostly following vanilla examples)

[edgy reef]

Booster packs iirc

[chrome widget]

.....did you not call start_materialize?

[edgy reef]

Yeah all the booster pack use it because it produces that bug with particles if you don't.

[placid star]

ive never had to call start_materialize when emplacing even into custom card areas...

[hard flume]

I miss being able to dev

[cyan lagoon]

no dice.

i want to make a table of jokers and have a single joker trigger the effects of all jokers in that table

the effect sounds like 'copies the ability of 3 last sold common jokers'

[daring heron]

tried this but it doesnt work

[primal robin]

[chrome widget]

You're formatting that incorrectly and it's not using the contexts correctly either

[daring fern]

I said In context.repetition

[daring fern]

Also you need to return repetitions = number

[daring heron]

yeah i have no idea how to do that

Notice that the third prameter of the calculate function is context. It's a table containing various flags and card references based on the timing of certain things during scoring

You need to check for a specific context in order for it to play correctly (so if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play)

[cyan lagoon]

context.repetition and SMODS.has_enchancement...

[daring fern]

if context.repetition then
    -- do code
end

[chrome widget]

Which are the values set on the context table when the game checks for repetition

[willow plinth]

did you look at https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions? the example mod here could also help https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua apart from it being a bit outdated

[chrome widget]

Similarly, you need to wrap those values you want to return inside a table. So

    remove_default_message = true
    colour = G.C.MULT,
    -- etc
}```

[placid star]

im gonna be honest i have NO idea how to do that...

[willow plinth]

do a local card = in the line before SMODS.add_card
then run card:start_materialize() if i understood your code correctly

[stray dagger]

can someone make a mod that replaces royal flush with HOLY CRAP A ROYAL FLUSH!

[chrome widget]

store the return from add_card into a variable like created_card, then do created_card:start_materialize()

I don't know if that's the issue obv, but test it anyway just in case

[willow plinth]

like...just the text? :D

[placid star]

still no workie

[chrome widget]

Oh!! Actually this is the issue probably

Because it only calls materialize on consumeables

[wintry solar]

What is this supposed to be doing?

[stray dagger]

yeah

i just want to make it sound more suprising

lol

[willow plinth]

lmao

well i don't know if there's an easier way, by like just replacing the localization i guess

but there's definitely this you can take a look at https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/RoyalFlush/RoyalFlush.lua

[placid star]

it should emplace my card in the cardarea below my joker, it does do that but it doesnt show the joker in the cardarea

[willow plinth]

hmmm i don't want to restart the fight but actively calling it should still do it, right? :D

[wintry solar]

So when you use your card it destroys itself and makes a new version?

[chrome widget]

Did you only add start_materialize() to the use code? What about add_to_deck which also adds a card?

[placid star]

it destroys the highlighted card and emplaces it, can_use doesnt return true if you try to emplace the joker with the cardarea tho

[placid star]

that seems to work fine but thats just my control for moving a card into the joker's cardarea

[rare obsidian]

WHY NO WORK PLS HELP

[chrome widget]

Should be?

[cursive sentinel]

is there a context for when an enhancement is applied individually?

[chrome widget]

Okay yeah I see, that one works fine because it's a consumeable and not a joker

[cyan lagoon]

i believe bunco has some custom editions. you can look at the code there

[chrome widget]

And consumeables materialize automatically

[rare obsidian]

wahts bunco lol

[cyan lagoon]

mod

[wintry solar]

Can’t it just move the highlighted card instead?

[chrome widget]

Logically that would be a better option yeah

[cyan lagoon]

https://github.com/jumbocarrot0/Bunco

[wintry solar]

Destroying and creating might have unintended effects

[cursive sentinel]

i mean, on a card (either from midas or magician)

or whatever applies an enhancement

[cyan lagoon]

bump

[wintry solar]

There’s not

[placid star]

i tried that but i had the same problem

[wintry solar]

Oh

Can you show the creation of your card area?

[red flower]

type = 'joker' lowercase

[placid star]

this was the issue ty!!

this looks hilarious tho

[stray dagger]

how do i download it

like this

[rare obsidian]

I changed it to match bunco mod. It still doesnt work

[willow plinth]

oh sorry, i misread your first message, i thought you wanted make a mod

[stray dagger]

since you guys were devs i thought you guys knew like a mod to do it 🤦‍♂️

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

you should copy bunco's code and start from there

[shut crater]

for i,v in ipairs(joker_table) do
  v:calculate_joker(context)
end```
Or something like that

[cursive sentinel]

quick question, is v.vampired a local? or is it set in another script than card.lua?

[shut crater]

I'm not at my computer so that might be the incorrect use of calculate_joker

[daring fern]

Just running calculate_joker isn't going to do anything.

[rough furnace]

Its on an object so it could be set by anything with access to v

[shut crater]

so probably SMODS.calculate_context then

[daring fern]

No, you have to return it.

[scarlet spire]

I've made a patch to trigger a custom context whenever set_ability is called, to detect when a card changes enhancements. how can I stop this from triggering when you open the deck view, which live-creates the cards and spams the context with fake cards?

[daring fern]

And put every joker after the first one in extra.

[shut crater]

would this not work though?

[red flower]

calculate_context calls all other calculate functions, that's not what you want here

[cursive sentinel]

card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, nil, true) crashes my game, have i missed smth on how it's done on smodded?

trying to replicate vampire's unhencement effect

[daring fern]

Code?

[cursive sentinel]

if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and not context.blueprint then
            local enhanced = {}
            for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base and not v.debuff and not v.punked then 
                    enhanced[#enhanced+1] = v
                    v.punked = true
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            v:juice_up()
                            v.punked = nil
                            return true
                        end
                    })) 
                end
            end
        end```

just replaced vampired by punked

heh?

relaunched the game, didnt crash this time

am i crazy

ok doesnt crash anymore wtf

[digital niche]

what do i use to create jokers?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card

[digital niche]

tyty

[weak gate]

How would I go to add a new button to all jokers?

[spring thistle]

im trying to get the card to signal that its effects are being triggered, but I don't see anything happening. what is wrong?

    config = { extra = { dollars = 3, increase_per_hand = 1 } },
    
...
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.joker_main then
    
            ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars)
            card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
            card.ability.extra.dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars + card.ability.extra.increase_per_hand
            card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
            card.sell_cost = card.ability.extra.dollars 
        end
    end

[turbid maple]

you can hook into G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons(card)

[placid star]

how can i remove a card area? using G.'cardareaname':remove() gives me this error

[frosty lichen]

hi, i'm new to modding i have a question, what would be needed to have the .lua file formatted correctly to make modifications to the enhancers textures?

[daring fern]

What?

[digital niche]

how do i make something like that for a custom consumable page?

[daring fern]

That reminds me, how do I remove that text? ^

[frosty lichen]

im trying to modify the textures of enhancements but we do not know how the .lua file needs to be formatted

[daring fern]

Use a code editor?

[frosty lichen]

i dont understand

[daring fern]

If you use a code editor it formats the code for you?

[prisma hedge]

still cant figure it out, anyone know why my joker isnt triggering when a light card is scored?

[cursive sentinel]

is there a check for editions?

[prisma hedge]

?

[daring fern]

if card.edition?

[cursive sentinel]

like there would for ability == 'Lucky'

like how can i check if edition's precisely a foil?

[cursive sentinel]

tried edition == 'Foil' but no

[daring fern]

if card.edition.foil

[frosty lichen]

im trying to understand why the code i wrote isnt working, and what im trying to make it work into doing is retexturing enhancements

[cursive sentinel]

okok thanks

crashes

[daring fern]

Code?

Log?

[daring fern]

if card.edition and card.edition.foil

[cursive sentinel]

oh right, adding it, thx

works !

[carmine roost]

is there a way to fully replace a file with another using lovely

[daring fern]

Why?

[prisma hedge]

???

[carmine roost]

why not 🥺

[oblique pond]

question: did i mess up the contexts for this (the joker giving money is not intentional)

[daring fern]

What do you want it to do?

[tall wharf]

ok so i added suit and rank to jokers

how do i hide the suit/rank badge 😭

[oblique pond]

the joker destroys all lucky cards in hand and gives $5-15 for each

[tall wharf]

😭

[prisma hedge]

so is just no one gonna answer my question

[tall wharf]

show the entire joker code

[prisma hedge]

 key = 'ashbaby',
 loc_txt = {
  name = 'Ash Baby',
  text = {
   '{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult when a',
   'Light card is scored.'
  }
 },
 atlas = 'ashbaby',
 pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
 config = {
  extra = {
   Xmult = 2
  }
 },
 loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
  return { vars = { center.ability.extra.Xmult } }
 end,
 calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
   if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_cry_light") then
    return {
     x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
    card = card
   }
   end
  end
 end
}```

[tall wharf]

so what doesn't work here

btw what version of smods are you using

[daring fern]

Don't iterate over the hand cards and do it in context.destroy_card

[prisma hedge]

It's supposed to give x2 mult when a light card is scored, but doesn't

[prisma hedge]

1.0.0~ALPHA-1304a-STEAMODDED

[cursive sentinel]

whats the debug line to debuff a playing card?

[tall wharf]

that's the problem

update steamodded

lol

[daring fern]

SMODS.debuff_card?

[oblique pond]

like this?

[tall wharf]

how do i remove this lmaooooo

[cursive sentinel]

wrote as is in the log?

[daring fern]

Replace _card with context.other_card

[prisma hedge]

wow

[daring fern]

eval SMODS.debuff_card(card, true)?

[tall wharf]

what mods do you have

[prisma hedge]

fixed it

accidentally left the old smods folder in the mods

[cursive sentinel]

i type this in log while selecting a card, doesnt do anything

[daring fern]

eval SMODS.debuff_card(G.hand.highlighted[1], true)

[dapper sun]

i forgot to actually test that it works 😭

[prisma hedge]

ok so this didnt work

[cursive sentinel]

still doesnt do anything :c

am i doing it wrong maybe?

[prisma hedge]

same result as before

[weak gate]

how can extend the Card class in my mod's file?

[daring fern]

Put the lovely dump in your workspace?

[weak gate]

the Card class is defined in vanilla's card.lua. Is a lovely patch the only way to add new functions to that class?

[daring fern]

No? You just do function Card:functionname(functioninputs) I think?

[weak gate]

hmm doesn't seem to work...

[daring fern]

I don't think you would need to do that anyway you could just change your functions to function rename_card(card)

[eager pendant]

Is there any way to fix this?

[daring fern]

Talisman?

[eager pendant]

Yes

[weak gate]

well, it's that I want to make a custom button in a card, and in vanilla the func and button functions are stuff that's inside Card (check third line)

  if card.area and card.area.config.type == 'joker' then
    sell = {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cr"}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.C, config={ref_table = card, align = "cr",padding = 0.1, r=0.08, minw = 1.25, hover = true, shadow = true, colour = G.C.UI.BACKGROUND_INACTIVE, one_press = true, button = 'sell_card', func = 'can_sell_card'}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.B, config = {w=0.1,h=0.6}},
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "tm"}, nodes={
          {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", maxw = 1.25}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('b_sell'),colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.4, shadow = true}}
          }},
          {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm"}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('$'),colour = G.C.WHITE, scale = 0.4, shadow = true}},
            {n=G.UIT.T, config={ref_table = card, ref_value = 'sell_cost_label',colour = G.C.WHITE, scale = 0.55, shadow = true}}
          }}
        }}
      }},
    }}
  end

@daring fern

[daring fern]

You can change the ref_table?

[weak gate]

hmmm, interesting - to what? just remove it?

[daring fern]

Put your mod in a variable and put the function in that variable.

[proud moon]

cant wait for that

[quick kraken]

    key = "vouchername",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "VoucherName",
        text = {
            "When {C:attention}small blind{} or {C:attention}big blind{} is selected,",
            "Upgrade your most played poker hand",
            "by 1 level"
        }
    },
    atlas = "Vouchers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind and not context.blind.boss and G.GAME.used_vouchers.v_testmod_vouchername then
            for l_hand in G.GAME.hands do
                if most_played == nil then most_played = l_hand end
                if l_hand.played >= most_played.played then most_played = l_hand end
            end
            local text,disp_text = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(most_played)
            update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize(text, 'poker_hands'),chips = G.GAME.hands[text].chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[text].mult, level=G.GAME.hands[text].level})
            level_up_hand(self, text, nil, 1)
            update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''})
        end
    end
}```

Anyone with knowledge of vouchers and hand levelups able to tell me what's wrong with this? Cause I know it doesn't work

Calculate() code is the result of patchwork from Obelisk and Burnt, am I having this issue because I did the patchwork without understanding the meaning behind it or is calculate() the wrong place to put this?

[wintry solar]

what's it supposed to do?

[quick kraken]

It's right there on the text part of loc_txt

[wintry solar]

oh yes

[tall wharf]

hmmmmmm

[wintry solar]

if context.setting_blind and not context.blind.boss then
  -- do most_played calc here
  return {
    level_up = true,
    level_up_hand = most_played
  }
end``` I'm pretty sure

the display will be jank for now, but I have a fix incoming soon

[quick kraken]

So one thing is that I didn't know that was a way to level up hands

And the second thing is why aren't the functions taken from burnt joker working?

Is it because of how calculate() is implemented for vouchers?

[tall wharf]

ok so i think i am doing something a bit too advanced (by setting a base suit and ranks for jokers/consumeables/stuff) and i have no idea how to remove this badge from appearing on all jokers

[wintry solar]

probably because you don't initialise most_played

[quick kraken]

Wouldn't the ==nil check work though?

I don't know Lua that deeply

[wintry solar]

does it crash or does it just not do anything?

[quick kraken]

It doesn't do anything when I select small or big blind, even when redeemed

Does Lua have dynamic typing?

[wintry solar]

yes

[quick kraken]

But wait

[wintry solar]

the for loop isn't correct either

[quick kraken]

Huh

what's wrong about it?

Man does it show that I don't know Lua

[wintry solar]

should be for l_hand, _ in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do

you could use G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand instead though

[flat sorrel]

you have to use pairs or ipairs to make the table iterable: key, value in pairs if it's a dictionary and idx, value in ipairs if it's an array

[wintry solar]

though I think this only updates at the end of each blind

[quick kraken]

Didn't know it was that easy

[quick kraken]

Should work anyways

[wintry solar]

so

if context.setting_blind and not context.blind.boss then
  return {
    level_up = true,
    level_up_hand = G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand
  }
end```

[flat sorrel]

what are you doing? If you're using take_ownership there's a parameter you can pass true to set it to silent (no badge)

[tall wharf]

i am not using take_ownership

[quick kraken]

Yep that works

[broken rivet]

literally no clue what is causing this crash, other than it being caused by a joker effect in a mod i'm making

the joker's code:

return {
    name = "Alexi",
    key = "alexi",

    atlas = "joker_atlas",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    soul_pos = {x = 1, y = 0},

    rarity = 4,
    cost = 10,
    blueprint_compat = true,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            local other_joker = nil

            -- if there's only 1 slot the for loop will cause a crash, so prevent that
            if #G.jokers.cards > 1 then

                -- find joker to the left
                for i = 2, #G.jokers.cards do
                    if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name == "Alexi" then other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i-1]; print(other_joker.ability.name) end
                end

                if other_joker and other_joker ~= self then
                    card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_duplicated_ex')})

                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function() 
                            local card = copy_card(other_joker)
                            card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)
                            card:set_eternal(false) -- remove eternal sticker
                            if not card.ability.perishable then card:set_perishable() end -- don't do it if it's already perishable
                            card:add_to_deck()
                            G.jokers:emplace(card) 
                            return true
                    end}))
                end
            end

            return {
                cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
                end_of_round = true,
                game_over = game_over -- true or false
            }
        end
    end

seems to suggest it's trying to copy a non-existent joker but idk how it would be doing that

actually i think i have some idea of what's going on

yeah

[eager pendant]

Is there any way to fix this?

[broken rivet]

it's from card_eval_status_text

my thing not that

[quick kraken]

Is there also a way to use this to level up multiple hands?

[wintry solar]

you'd have to add this to the return

extra = {
  level_up = true,
  level_up_hand = "different hand"
  --can add another extra table here to keep going
}```

im trying to get the card to signal that its effects are being triggered, but I don't see anything happening. what is wrong?

    config = { extra = { dollars = 3, increase_per_hand = 1 } },
    
...
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.joker_main then
    
            ease_dollars(card.ability.extra.dollars)
            card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
            card.ability.extra.dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars + card.ability.extra.increase_per_hand
            card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
            card.sell_cost = card.ability.extra.dollars 
        end
    end

Ok thanks

[eager pendant]

Is there any way to make it go away?

[high sinew]

How do I destroy a playing card?

Consumable selects two cards and destroys one and modifies other destroying isn’t working

[daring fern]

card:start_dissolve?

HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

[rare obsidian]

bro might be getting ignored lol

[high sinew]

Thanks!

[quick kraken]

Is there a context for selecting big blind specifically?

[weak gate]

@quick kraken should be
if context.setting_blind and context.blind == G.P_BLINDS.bl_big then

[quick kraken]

Ok I'll test it

thanks

[weak gate]

what's the function in UI_definitions that makes a card's information to show up?

ohh might be function G.UIDEF.card_h_popup(card)

[violet oasis]

Anyone know where the colour value for the debuff shader is set?

[gusty iron]

Has anyone made a tool where you can make ui easier? Or is it still painful?

[red flower]

still painful why

[gusty iron]

im trying to do something with ui :pain:

[hasty mist]

is there a way to replace a specific boss blind with a different one when the blind is selected

[willow plinth]

i wanna do an xml to balatro ui tool at some point
probably at the point i do anything ui because it IS pain yes

[high sinew]

So for modify rank it seems the amount needs to be a integer is there a way I can link it to a function that basically gets the amount of 2 cards selected and modfiys it to be difference

its crashing on modify rank and thin kits not picking up on it being an integer anyone got an idea?

this is the define for ranks it calls

[gusty iron]

or maybe a program where you can build the ui and see how it looks, and it gives you the code afterwards?

[willow plinth]

yeah that's a tad more complex haha
but i get what you mean, would be awesome

[glad osprey]

how possible would it be to draw all (base game) editions on a card

[frosty lichen]

i tried to change red card's texture into sum else and it straight up became jugglar is that normal

[glad osprey]

i mean you changed red cards texture to something else so

[frosty lichen]

but thats not the right texture 😭

[glad osprey]

oh well in THAT case

did you define the atlas

[rare obsidian]

How do you use the watch command lol

[frosty lichen]

i think (?)

[rare obsidian]

C:\Users\setht\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods\ScribbledMod\shaders\scribbled.fs is the shader i want to watch

[glad osprey]

watch shader Mods/<folder_name>/assets/shaders/<shader> for shaders

[glad osprey]

shaders should be in assets

assets/shaders/shader.fs

[glad osprey]

not in the joker it seems
