[glad osprey]

your just setting the pos and soul pos

do atlas = "Ryan"

[rare obsidian]

uhhhh

wdid?

[glad osprey]

forget how to read your own crash logs it seems

this is literally the most clear crash log that you can get in balatro modding 😭

[frosty lichen]

like, this (?) sorry

[glad osprey]

yea that looks right

if that doesnt work try adding your mod prefix before the atlas key your giving the joker

[frosty lichen]

what does this mean

[glad osprey]

oh wait

you put atlas == ryan in the atlas aswell lol

right here

it should just be in the joker

[frosty lichen]

what does this mean? i am slow sorry

[glad osprey]

remove it from the atlas

just have SMODS.Atlas {

[frosty lichen]

good news we can see the golden sticker bad news it's still not 😭

[stark geode]

i love leaving easter eggs in code

[bold sleet]

Those are funny.

The seeds people use for pseudorandoms

[obtuse silo]

6 DOLLAR SRIMP SPECIAL

[thorn pumice]

are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice

[faint yacht]

me when diamond

[thorn pumice]

reminds me of this gem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dLkZ1gagIE

i used to listen to this when i was 13 💔

[stark geode]

im sure it was fire at the time

[thorn pumice]

at the time...

[obtuse silo]

alr guys i got a couple of questions before i head to bed for a joker i'm making

• how do i make items free in a shop (like they were generated through a joker-generating tag)
• is there any way to disable rerolls
• is there a context for entering shop?

[glad osprey]

boost

[glad osprey]

• look at coupon tag in the source code
• if you mean just not allow it there is not a vanilla way of doing it but you can just hook whatever function checks for if you can reroll
• context.starting_shop

[stark geode]

set the reroll price to somthing absurd

[frosty lichen]

@glad osprey sorry 4 the ping, the code still isn't working do you have any idea why that could be? 😭

[glad osprey]

no lol

[frosty lichen]

oh okay ty regardless

[stark geode]

what is that

is that the joker?

[frosty lichen]

i'm trying to replace the texture of red card with another png but it doesn't seem to work, it just makes the joker into jimbo

[stark geode]

look at the BU language mod

[brisk rose]

I mean... probably pssoible with draestep, definitely with love.draw

if you mean all at once

[glad osprey]

yea

i am using a drawstep just to be able to draw the shader (deck stuff) but idk how i would go about doing every shader

[willow plinth]

is there no example or mod that at least uses 2 shaders at once?

or editions whatever

[glad osprey]

all i can think of is blueprints ability to draw shaders on top of the blueprint shader

[brisk rose]

I mean... I'm pretty sure you can just do 4 drawsteps in succession?

[brisk rose]

blueprint predates drawstep I'm pretty sure, so must do it more manually

[brisk rose]

I think badge_color expects a hex value?

[urban wasp]

i can do badge_colour = mythic_gradient, though

for a predefined gradient

[brisk rose]

hmm... lemme look at the docs

[urban wasp]

docs just say

badge_colour: Colour of the rarity's badge.

i can just put the hex code, i guess

[brisk rose]

then they say "must be a valid hex color"

[urban wasp]

i see

[brisk rose]

the only issue is if you want it to sync with Trance

but I don't know if trance actually changes the values in the tables anyway

[urban wasp]

true

[brisk rose]

I guess it must

[urban wasp]

who cares

it's an easter egg now

awesome

[brisk rose]

very fair :3

wait I take some of that back

I was loooking in the wrong place

had a brainfart

[urban wasp]

oh?

[brisk rose]

yeah I was being a doofus and looking atr the mod badge

[brisk rose]

for for rarities, you do seem to be able to just use G.C.[]

[willow plinth]

how did you do it tho? plain string or HEX("#000000")

[urban wasp]

the latter

without the #

[willow plinth]

yeah just asking him

because i made the mistake before

[brisk rose]

well for the mod badge, a plain string works? that's still how it's listed in the docs. But yeah for game objects, which I haven't tried to do yet really, it makes sense it'd be the latter

[willow plinth]

oh whoops then maybe i'm completely wrong

[brisk rose]

yeah, I actually have no idea why this doesn't work

I have a mod with a rarity that uses G.C.Purple

and that works afiak

[urban wasp]

i mean, maybe it's because it's specifically calling G.C.Rarity which fucks it up or something?

dunno

[brisk rose]

maybe this is how you have to do it?

pretty sure printers use the Rare color too

and that's what this is

[urban wasp]

this could be the case

[brisk rose]

Printer from Revo's

[urban wasp]

yeah,

SMODS.Rarity({
    key = "rare2",
    badge_colour = G.C.RARITY[3],
})

works

[unborn bay]

generally vanilla uses indices to indicate rarities so it would make sense for it to just be a normal array

[hasty mist]

bump

[brisk rose]

it does say that Smods is what adds G.C.RARITY.Rare to it

but I guess it doesn't work in all cases for some reason

[verbal hare]

can someone check this?:

i can send the code in dm and shi for help

[analog spoke]

Does anyone have any ideas for rarity names between Rare and Epic? Curious what other people can come up w here

[verbal hare]

Bump

[shut crater]

anyone have a good starting point for animating jokers?

to be specific, I want my joker to switch from a still sprite to an animated sprite under a certain condition

[faint yacht]

...I have a Joker that is animated, but not in the Collection, fwiw?

[shut crater]

anything is a starting point

I know literally 0 about animation

(in Balatro)

[faint yacht]

Though, https://github.com/SpectralPack/Aura exists or you can manually change the currently displayed "frame" of the Joker, which is what I do.

[woven stratus]

[continuing here]

[brisk rose]

so CiaaiK wants ti reskin all Aces, but just the Aces

from what I understand

And the proper way to do that is deckskin objects, right?

This is its first time making a mod

[manic rune]

is this how i patch another mod's code

[unborn bay]

no

[manic rune]

i see

-# how then :3

[unborn bay]

'''=[SMODS modid "source/file.lua"]'''

[shut crater]

got it working, thank you so much!

[manic rune]

oh, so if reverie's mod id is Reverie, then its like this?

[unborn bay]

yep

remove the underscore

underscore just denotes you're patching smods itself

[manic rune]

mm icic, thanks

so this is most of what you'll need

you can change the names keys, they're just placeholds

and you need to set up the atlas too

and the mod itself

I reccomend looking through the smods wiki

[woven stratus]

alright, thank you

[brisk rose]

also, just for due dilligence, template cribbed from the deckskins in @heady siren 's mod aether jokers

[spring thistle]

is there a way to determine where a function is defined globally?

or even a variable

im getting tired of looking through each lua files in the mods

[shut crater]

open the lovely/dump folder in vscode and shift+F

[spring thistle]

ill look for that

is that in the lovely folder?

[shut crater]

or if you're a menace like me you just keep your whole mods folder open and get results from your other installed mods

[spring thistle]

^

[hasty mist]

how do i check if a specific boss blind is active in an if function

[spring thistle]

how do I open the folder in vscode?

[spring thistle]

" use the global variable G.GAME.blind to refer to the current blind." is a way to refer to the current blind according to the steamodded docs

but idk how to get the components

[crisp coral]

if G.GAME.blind.in_blind and G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == "key" then

[hasty mist]

yeah i want to check for certain boss blinds and do different things for different blinds

[hasty mist]

thank you

[spring thistle]

tysm

[hasty mist]

is it possible to replace a boss blind with a different one when entering the blind

[spring thistle]

a little switcheroo

[paper trout]

just started trying to make a mod for the first time like an hour ago and i don't know lua, so probably a stupid question, but:

    key = 'air',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Air',
        text = {
            'Played cards with',
            '{C:diamonds}Diamond{} suit give {C:blue}+25{}',
            'Chips when scored'
        },
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    config = {
        extra = {
            chips = 25
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if context.card:is_suit("Diamonds") then
                return{
                    chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips
                }
            end
        end
    end
}```
why doesn't this work? it's meant to just give +25 chips when a diamond is scored (everything about the display works, it just does nothing when I play a diamond, but i'm leaving in all the code just cause)
I also had it as context.other_card:is_suit earlier because that's what i saw in a tutorial but that didnt work either so yea

[ashen niche]

am i stupid why does ts not work

[glad osprey]

tried this, it didn't work, so I just made a shader that combined all of them

[shut crater]

I think you should use context.individual instead of context.main_scoring

[paper trout]

that worked ty

[shut crater]

is there anything in the game that gives -chips

[glad osprey]

not normally no

closest is the flint

[crisp coral]

G.GAME.blind:set_blind(G.P_BLINDS["key"])

[shut crater]

I might just yoink the flint effect instead

[glad osprey]

-chips should just work tho?

[shut crater]

cause I was thinking about having -chips +upside but I wasn't sure how to handle the case where your chips go negative

[glad osprey]

I think the game just sets chips to 1 or 0 then

        end
    end,
}
``` wtf is wrong

with the remove random card logic

[shut crater]

what does it do now, if anything?

[hasty mist]

shouldn't this work in theory? it just does nothing

[manic rune]

i dont think so, no

[shut crater]

it's probably firing too late

after you're already in the boss blind

[manic rune]

you probably want to hook instead

[shut crater]

if I had to guess

[hasty mist]

wdym

[split cairn]

does anyone know why the XChips is not working properly? the chips are not being multiplied during scoring but the mult is

[hasty mist]

how would i do that

[manic rune]

hook to the function that runs when you press Select Blind

then do the stuff

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

[hasty mist]

i am not smart enough for this 😭

[unborn bay]

if you're running talisman then this is a talisman issue

[manic rune]

hooking is basically letting your code run in the timing of when another function runs

either before or after the original code

[split cairn]

do i need to disable talisman or something else?

[unborn bay]

just update talisman from the master branch

[split cairn]

do i just download the latest release?

[scarlet thorn]

Anyone know how to get a text field rendering before create_text_input?

[brisk rose]

green code button

and make sure to unest it and rename the folder to be just Talisman

[naive raptor]

how do i change the size of a joker, like photograph?

[split cairn]

i'll try that rn

[glad osprey]

look at how photograph does it

[glad osprey]

no, sorry.

[naive raptor]

oh yeah i forgot you can do that

[scarlet thorn]

SMODS makes it easier than that.

[naive raptor]

i assumed there was a smods implementation but i couldnt find it

[scarlet thorn]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#display_size

[naive raptor]

oh i only did one at a time

[scarlet thorn]

half joker is

    display_size = { w = 71, h = 95 * .7 },
    pixel_size = { w = 71, h = 95 * .7 },```

wee joker is ```lua
    display_size = { w = 71 * 0.7, h = 95 * 0.7 },
    pixel_size = { w = 71, h = 95 },```

With this, and vanilla code, you should be able to get photograph

[split cairn]

thanks, it works now 😁

[naive raptor]

this goes in the config line, right?

because nothing happened

[hasty mist]

yeah i dont understand hooking at all this doesnt make any sense to me

[naive raptor]

also im not trying to get the same size i just wanted to get that effect

[scarlet thorn]

It goes on the base, like where you define config, loc txt, calculate

[scarlet thorn]

Like redefining a function? It lets you wrap code around the original function

[shut crater]

it's all coming together 😎

[hasty mist]

i'm currently trying to replace a boss blind with a different one upon entering, but this doesn't work, and someone suggested hooking, which i tried researching and i dont understand it at all

[naive raptor]

does it matter if its before or after any lines

its still not having any effect

[scarlet thorn]

function og_func(arg1)
  return arg1+5
end

local old_og_func = og_func
function og_func(arg1)
  if arg1 < 0 then return nil end
  return old_og_func(arg1)
end

old_og_func(5) -- returns 10
old_og_func(-1) -- returns 4
og_func(5) -- returns 10
og_func(-1) -- returns nil```

[scarlet thorn]

Show the code

[naive raptor]

(yes i know its a tiny size difference idk why my friend drew it like that)

[daring fern]

They need to be w and h

[scarlet thorn]

⬆️

[shut crater]

hooking goes like this:

local target_function_ref = target_function
target_function = function(e)
    do my code here first
    return target_function_ref(e)
end

you grab a copy of the function you want to hook
you make your own function that replaces it
your function does a little code
then it calls that copy that you made earlier so that the original function still gets called
(usually you also return the result of whatever comes out of the function)

[naive raptor]

thank you kind stranger

[glad osprey]

👆

[hasty mist]

how would i apply it to this situation?

[scarlet thorn]

blinds have "bl_" prefixed before them

You gotta add that, if youre going to compare the keys

[hasty mist]

oh i see

[scarlet thorn]

You shouldnt need to

[shut crater]

go dig through the codebase and find whichever function moves you onto the next blind and then hook it so your code gets called at the right time

[scarlet thorn]

you can 100% do it well with a calc function

[shut crater]

^ or someone else that knows what they're talking about answers with a better solution

[hasty mist]

what should i do instead then?

[shut crater]

^

[hasty mist]

added the bl_ prefix and it still seems to do nothing

[scarlet thorn]

If you add "bl_" to your code rn, it should work. I just tested it

[scarlet thorn]

Show the full code

[naive raptor]

ok how the hell do i pair vouchers

[brisk rose]

ayy nice

[hasty mist]

is it before or after the mod prefix

[scarlet thorn]

before

[hasty mist]

this should work then?

[scarlet thorn]

yea

[hasty mist]

oh it does work now

thank you

i wasn't aware of the prefix

[scarlet thorn]

I would recommend adding some contexts to it, so that it doesnt run every single time

though, then again

[heady siren]

AA

[scarlet thorn]

nevermind. if the if is ever true, its instantly changed to a different blind

[brisk rose]

is this good or bad screaming?

sorry if i did a bad

[heady siren]

Mention

[brisk rose]

oh you don't like random mentions

duly noted

[heady siren]

Just don't expect them

[brisk rose]

ah, fair, I don't expect them either, but I personally like them. makes me feel relevent

[daring fern]

You say that you require the previous voucher on the last one.

[heady siren]

And people don't usually mention me for like, any reason, it feels weird for people to be mentioning me when I'm not directly involved in the conversation

how to make this Rename button appear on the left side, hmm

[naive raptor]

i already did

[brisk rose]

yeah I think it's a habit I picked up back in tight knit telegram groups

display_ranks is missing an opening bracket on both

[hasty mist]

is there a way to make an else function trigger if any of the previously stated if functions don't trigger

[scarlet thorn]

loc_txt is not loc_text, and its supposed to be a table

[woven stratus]

ok

[hasty mist]

or

hold on am i misunderstanding lua

[scarlet thorn]

else will only run if nothing before it in the chain hit

if cond1 then
elseif cond2 then
else
end```

[hasty mist]

yeah but

[scarlet thorn]

code 1 and cond2 must be false for else to hit

[hasty mist]

can i have it run after multiple if functions

instead of just one

so

if none of those trigger

[scarlet thorn]

if cond1 then
  if cond2 then

  end
end```?

[hasty mist]

i think i understant ty

[woven stratus]

how do i make it a table? this is my first time modding so i am clueless :P

[ashen niche]

in my lua file, i wanted to make the mult random and the chips random when using this joker, but the random value is always .32 not in the range of (1-10000) additionally it does not change hte random value after each round can sm1 help a fella out

[scarlet thorn]

loc_txt for a joker should be

        name = 'XXXX',
        text = {
            "XXXX",
            "XXXX",
        }
    }```

[heady siren]

That is not how pseudorandom works

[ashen niche]

aight thanks ive never coded in lua be4

[heady siren]

You use pseudorandom('identifier') and it always give you a number from 0 to 1, so do
math.ceil(pseudorandom('identifier') * 10000)

And it's a Balatro specific thing, not lua itself

[woven stratus]

i got it to not crash on startup! (by removing the loc_txts for each. it cant error if it doesnt exist right)

[daring fern]

No, you can do pseudorandom('identifier', 1, 10000) and it'll give a random whole number between 1 and 10000.

[ashen niche]

could i use math.random()?

[heady siren]

That would make it incompatible with seeds

[heady siren]

I did not know that, I've only ever seen it done the way I did it

[ashen niche]

yh idc abt that lol

[heady siren]

You should, rule of thumb, use pseudorandom over math.random if it's gameplay related

[ashen niche]

uhhh, heck no

thats a lil too much owrk

[heady siren]

Why is it a problem for you to use it?

[ashen niche]

work*

[daring fern]

Just replace it with this pseudorandom('seed', 1, 10000)?

[heady siren]

If changing one tiny bit of code is too much work for you, you probably shouldn't make a mod, being honest

[ashen niche]

copy and pasting too much work tbh (thx tho)

[naive raptor]

how do i make a dynamic name for a joker? i want the name to change every time you hover over it

[hasty mist]

why doesn't this work?

the first part works fine, but the else doesn't

wait actually

[naive raptor]

can i just put

loc_txt = {
  name = card.abilty.extra.name
}

[daring fern]

No.

[naive raptor]

worth a shot

[hasty mist]

i think ik whats wrong

[unborn bay]

is the thingy a custom boss blind

if so

prefix

[naive raptor]

i dont know how ill detect when the joker is hovered

idk if this will work

[hasty mist]

no its supposed to be the big blind

[naive raptor]

can i call loc_txt in the calculate function?

[daring fern]

No.

[hasty mist]

the intended effect is to replace the clock with the trick (which works) but if it's any other boss blind, replace it with a big blind (which doesn't work, and i know why but i need to figure out how to code it)

[daring fern]

You could return a key in loc_vars that has a different name?

[hasty mist]

can i add conditions after "else"?

[brisk rose]

that's what elseif is for p sure

[hasty mist]

oh i see

how do i check if the current blind is a boss blind

[woven stratus]

the game no longer crashes immediately, but the card textures don't show up in game

[hasty mist]

is it just G.GAME.blind.boss?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

thank you!

[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? I have reduced motion off so the juice_up would work, but idk why i dont see anything

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollars, card.ability.extra.increase_per_hand} }
    end,
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- Tests if context.joker_main == true.
        -- joker_main is a SMODS specific thing, and is where the effects of jokers that just give +stuff in the joker area area triggered, like Joker giving +Mult, Cavendish giving XMult, and Bull giving +Chips.
        if context.joker_main then
            -- Tells the joker what to do. In this case, it pulls the value of mult from the config, and tells the joker to use that variable as the "mult_mod".
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = "after",
            delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                    play_sound("tarot1")
                    
                    return true
                end,
            }))
          
            card.ability.extra.dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars + card.ability.extra.increase_per_hand
           
            return {p_dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars}
            
        end
    end
}

[heady siren]

What's the current code?

[hasty mist]

alright, this just hard crashes the game, what did i do wrong here

[spring thistle]

was there an error message?

[hasty mist]

no, just closes out of the game

[heady siren]

You don't put in a pos, you put in a pos_style, which can be 'deck' if you have all cards from 2-Ace, or 'collab' if you only have face cards

[woven stratus]

ok

[naive raptor]

how do i modify joker slots?

[daring fern]

G.jokers.config.card_limit = number

[hasty mist]

what i'm trying to do is to set the clock to the trick, and set any other boss blind to the pin (all of these are placeholders)

the first part of the if works just fine, but the elseif crashes with no error

[spring thistle]

forgotr i had talisman on (7 hours gone)

we are winning

[naive raptor]

might have made a slight oopsie in my code

[spring thistle]

you are in the future

[naive raptor]

lmao

[spring thistle]

welp

[naive raptor]

that's hilarious

[spring thistle]

good morning/night

[naive raptor]

night ig

[woven stratus]

i've replaced the poses with pos_styles but it still isnt showing up in game

[naive raptor]

domain expansion: infinite joker slots

[hoary crown]

how do i fix this

[woven stratus]

here's the current code

[brisk rose]

are you making a mod or just trying to play them?

[hoary crown]

making

[brisk rose]

is C1 a local in your mod?

[hoary crown]

no

[brisk rose]

but it doesn't crash without your mod?

[hoary crown]

its my boss blind

[brisk rose]

hmm... somehow you're making a variable you didn't create nil when it shouldn't be

specifically a table I think? because index

[hoary crown]

idk if this summons a table

[paper trout]

i just made this enhancement and it technically works but it just creates the random number at startup and then sets the mult for all glimmering cards in the future to that, which i think is a level of jank balatro does Not need yet
is there an easy way to make it set the random number just whenever the card is created/enhancement is applied?

    key = 'glimmering',
    config = {
        extra = {
            mult = math.random(1, 10)
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}}
    end,
    atlas = 'Misc',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Glimmering',
        text = {
            '{C:red}+#1#{} Mult',
            '{C:inactive}(Random +1 to +10){}'
        }
    },
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return{
                mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}```

[unborn bay]

well yeah that's what it does

config is the initial state of the card's ability table

also you shouldn't really use math.random here anyway

[paper trout]

yes but idk what the alternative would be to just trigger when the enhancement is created (this is my first time modding btw)

oh is it on_apply?

[scarlet thorn]

Anyone know why create_text_input hides text in surrounding nodes until you click on it?

[glad osprey]

@daring fern are you gonna actually interact or just leave reactions

[ashen niche]

wht is the function to end the run

[hasty mist]

like, winning the run?

[ashen niche]

nah gameover

like losx

loss*

[brisk rose]

they talk sometimes

he just.. likes to lurk and react I guess, lol

[hardy viper]

from my experience with text inputs this is because they are Suck and Not Good and Work Not

[scarlet thorn]

Debug plus implementation:

G.FUNCS.DT_lose_game = function() if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER; G.STATE_COMPLETE = false end end```

[scarlet thorn]

Straight up.

[ashen niche]

ty hb

[scarlet thorn]

The only place I can find text infront of one is the Galdur menu

[hasty mist]

why doesnt this work?

[scarlet thorn]

bl_blind_pin and bl_cry_pin?

[hasty mist]

wait

wow im stupid

ah

it still doesnt work

[woven stratus]

update: i've discovered that the game crashes when you scroll fully to the right on this screen (or any of the other suits' screens)

[rough furnace]

https://media.discordapp.net/stickers/1335885215616208906.png?size=160&name=Send+the+Crash+log!!!!!

[woven stratus]

so now i have to figure out why my mod makes it freak out

[hoary crown]

WHAT IS THE C1 VALUE IN BLINDS!!!!!!!!!

[rough furnace]

colour 1

[hoary crown]

thanks

[rough furnace]

Assuming its this function

[scarlet thorn]

Hey wilson, have you ever had any issues like this with create_text_input?

[rough furnace]

the atlas might need your prefix

[rough furnace]

I've never used create_text_input

but I do know it's buggy

[scarlet thorn]

damn.

The text appears fine if the node is after the text input

but not if its before.

[hasty mist]

this is really driving me insane, this code seems completely straightforward to me, i cant tell why its not working

[woven stratus]

hm ok

[hoary crown]

never seen this before

[rough furnace]

ok

[scarlet thorn]

Are you creating a blind?

[hoary crown]

yes

[scarlet thorn]

What are the values that you are setting it's colors too?

[hoary crown]

i dont have anything setting it

thought it would have some default

[formal grove]

is this the proper place to ask for help trying to install mods?

i keep getting a crash error installing lovely or something

[hoary crown]

I dont know but probably https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506360987877408

[formal grove]

ty

[woven stratus]

game still crashes :P

[scarlet thorn]

set some

[hoary crown]

k

[hasty mist]

is there a way to use an atlas from another mod, but set the atlas to something else if that mod isn't installed?

[paper trout]

how do i set a card enhancement? i noticed the base game does stuff like v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_gold, nil, true) but whenever I try that I just get card.lua:262: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

idk if this will send right but code

[orchid thunder]

how can i get the size of the game window

[paper trout]

also ignore me not having fixed this, i want to make the tarot card work so it's easier to test it first lol

[orchid thunder]

i want to make a sprite that scales to the size of the game window

[manic rune]

how do i detect whenever a message in sent in debugplus' console

[daring fern]

love.window.getDesktopDimensions?

[orchid thunder]

does that do it in balatro standards though?

like what is the number it returns in

[manic rune]

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.window

[daring fern]

I don't know what your trying to say but I have this:

[orchid thunder]

oh ok

[manic rune]

im pretty sure that alone returns the size of your monitor 🤔

[shut crater]

can someone help me understand why this patch is not working?

this is my first time patching SMODS

[digital niche]

this should create a joker with the key "j_mills_monster" right?

[manic rune]

does triple " work? 🤔

[shut crater]

that's how I've done all my other patches

I'll play around with different quotes

[daring fern]

Just use SMODS.add_card({key = "j_mills_monster"})

[hasty mist]

bump

[tall wharf]

some mod wants the score to be negative. even i have plans for the score being negative

[digital niche]

oh, tyty!

[shut crater]

my mod puts an exponent on the chips, negative chips break exponentials

[tall wharf]

does it

[shut crater]

well for one thing it makes the negative chips positive

[tall wharf]

i think it's funny

but like i get it's

not intended

[daring fern]

What if you temporarily made it not negative then made it negative again?

[orchid thunder]

can you send this as text

the top part

[brisk rose]

so does multipluing 2 negatives together though? so idk it seems as intended as any math

[daring fern]

x, y, displayindex = love.window.getPosition()
d_width, d_height = love.window.getDesktopDimensions( displayindex )
```?

[manic rune]

if the exponential isnt a whole number, does it cause the negative chips to become an imaginary number or something

-# sorry if i sound dumb, i havent studied till that part yet ❤️ or i mightve forgotten

[brisk rose]

exponents aren't limited to intergers

I didn't think?

[brisk rose]

I meant to get a real number

[shut crater]

this is probably what I'll do

improves mod compatibility

[brisk rose]

shows what I know, lol

it's because it's taking a root technically

[shut crater]

I'd still like to know how to patch SMODS though lol

[brisk rose]

and it's a negative

so i

I thiiink

[orchid thunder]

yeah no this was WAY too zoomed in

[manic rune]

play around with the numbers lol

[orchid thunder]

i dont think he understands

[daring fern]

Do you want the rest?

[orchid thunder]

ok now im confused

im trying to make the width and hight of the sprite() to be the size of the screen

[daring fern]

That gives the size of the window, no?

[orchid thunder]

it does but i dont think balatro goes off those numbers

[hasty mist]

is there a way to make a blind never appear naturally?

[scarlet thorn]

To solve my issue with create_text_input, I had to add a G.OVERLAY_MENU:get_UIE_by_ID("ID").UIBox:recalculate() where ID is the id of the text field.

[willow plinth]

sorry for the ping cheese person, but did you ever find an answer to this?

[scarlet thorn]

what are you trying to do with it?

[hasty mist]

like, during normal gameplay, it would never spawn by itself

[scarlet thorn]

Use in_pool instead for advanced conditions.
from the blind wiki

[scarlet thorn]

in_pool(self) -> bool
For implementing advanced restrictions on when a Blind may appear in a run. This puts boss.min and boss.max restrictions out of effect.
Unless ignore_showdown_check is set, this function will not be evaluated in the following cases:
A showdown Boss Blind should appear, but this Blind is a regular Boss Blind.
A regular Boss Blind should appear, but this Blind is a showdown Boss Blind.

[hasty mist]

i just want it to not be in the pool at all

[scarlet thorn]

?

[scarlet thorn]

in_pool = function () end

[hasty mist]

i see, ty!

[queen scroll]

oh god i haven't played balatro in like 6 months, let me see if i can remember what i did

[scarlet thorn]

Did you ever give your blind colours? Cause Im pretty sure the error is that its trying to mix colors that dont exist.

[hoary crown]

well how do i do that

[scarlet thorn]

boss_colour = XX

[woven stratus]

this deckskin is going to be the death of me

[hoary crown]

same error.

[scarlet thorn]

When do you get the error?

start of game?

[orchid thunder]

i realy dont know how localthunk got this render scale

[hoary crown]

yes

[woven stratus]

whats suit_icon used for

[scarlet thorn]

2.0487...... Wild

for card_w

[orchid thunder]

like i have no idea what "1" is size wise in this game

[scarlet thorn]

what did you set boss_colours to?

[scarlet thorn]

That

W = 1

[orchid thunder]

yeah so how do i get W and H of the screen in the misterious unit called THAT

[hoary crown]

fixed it.

[scarlet thorn]

can you show the full crash log

[scarlet thorn]

les go

[orchid thunder]

because yeah thiis crap is WILD

[queen scroll]

@willow plinth sorry are you on mac or windows?

if you aren't on mac i might not be able to help you

[scarlet thorn]

im looking into it. all of ui is bullshit

lmao

the jokers slot in the shop's width is set to math.min(G.GAME.shop.joker_max*1.02*G.CARD_W,4.08*G.CARD_W)

which is probably the least odd

4.08 is 4x1.02

[brisk rose]

Wait you're alive?

[queen scroll]

what? no...

[brisk rose]

Pffft

Also he is on Mac I'm p sure

[queen scroll]

ok good

all my game files and stuff are half a year out of date now 😭

old enough

oh yes, you were the one that helped me with this right?

[gaunt thistle]

uhhh

[queen scroll]

i don't really remember

[gaunt thistle]

like 6 months ago or more recently

[queen scroll]

i've been inactive for like a year lol

[gaunt thistle]

do you have lovely? you might actually have a 0.98 smods patched exe

[queen scroll]

oh wait yeah i think so. should i send it here?

[manic rune]

hy cheese

[gaunt thistle]

no need, it's just pretty rare nowadays for someone to have a patched exe

welcome back, we've grown a lot

[queen scroll]

i would think so

one question, has localthunk added any sort of modding support in the time i've been gone?

[gaunt thistle]

nope! lovely and smods is the way to go nowadays

[queen scroll]

thought so

[faint yacht]

See his statement on such here: #🎙・server-chat message

[queen scroll]

i guess it makes sense since modding is already so well established

[gaunt thistle]

first party iOS mods could never be a thing anyways

[queen scroll]

to actually answer, i've just had a really intense period of time with school stuff and mental health, and the last thing i remember was getting burnout trying to keep my mod up to date

thx guys!

[gaunt thistle]

I vaguely remember you from ages ago, glad you've come back ❤️

what do i use to make like 2 layers in a card? like legendary cards?

[gaunt thistle]

tyty

[hasty mist]

ofc!

[hasty mist]

finally got this sucker working, now to code roughly 50 more inverted blinds...

[marble flint]

chicot enjoyers in shambles

[hasty mist]

whoops

[manic rune]

this is supposed to prevent the joker from spawning with an edition, right?

[willow plinth]

i am on mac yes!

i changed my sh to this:

#!/bin/bash
gamename="Balatro"
defaultpath="/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/$gamename"

export DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=liblovely.dylib

cd "$defaultpath"
./$gamename.app/Contents/MacOS/love --fused "$defaultpath/Balatro.app/Contents/Resources/Balatro/"

and everything works but the game has the wrong save directory

like even though it's fused it still takes '/Users/nnmrts/Library/Application Support/LOVE/Balatro'

[willow plinth]

yo gifs are back???

[faint yacht]

Prolly should round down.

oh that is manually uploaded

[hasty mist]

this only happens upon reopening a save, but youre probably right lmao

[lucid owl]

any ideas on how to shuffle played/discarded cards back into the deck?

[faint yacht]

G.FUNCS.draw_from_discard_to_deck()?

how do i makee the second layer go poioioioioing like soul card?

i'm not sure how to do that, ik what you mean though

maybe try looking at gateway's code in cryptid?

[digital niche]

oh yeah totally forgor, tyty!

[hasty mist]

mhm!

[queen scroll]

@willow plinth i just realised i did end up having to just build the project and couldn't run it directly from the source code, i had two seperate versions with steamodded and just vanilla. super sorry i can't help

[willow plinth]

all gucci

[queen scroll]

it may be possible nowadays but you'll have to ask someone else

[lucid owl]

the way i did it is a bit archaic but somewhat simple - first off, remove soul_pos from your card entirely!
then, you need to define this function... somewhere (replace c_fmod_soully with your card key and { x = 2, y = 2 } with the pos to the soul)

local set_spritesref = Card.set_sprites
function Card:set_sprites(_center, _front)
    set_spritesref(self, _center, _front)
    if _center and _center.name == "c_fmod_soully" then
        self.children.floating_sprite = Sprite(
            self.T.x,
            self.T.y,
            self.T.w,
            self.T.h,
            G.ASSET_ATLAS[_center.atlas or _center.set],
            { x = 2, y = 2 }
        )
        self.children.floating_sprite.role.draw_major = self
        self.children.floating_sprite.states.hover.can = false
        self.children.floating_sprite.states.click.can = false
    end
end

[digital niche]

tytyy!

[lucid owl]

then, add this to your card's file, changing values as you see fit (i honestly just changed them randomly until i liked the effect enough)

SMODS.DrawStep({
    key = "floating_sprite",
    order = 59,
    func = function(self)
        if self.ability.name == "c_fmod_soully" and (self.config.center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then
            local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05*math.sin(1.8*G.TIMERS.REAL) + 0.03*math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))*math.pi*11)*(1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)))^3
            local rotate_mod = 0.1*math.sin(1.219*G.TIMERS.REAL) + 0.07*math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL)*math.pi*5)*(1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)))^2

            self.children.floating_sprite.role.draw_major = self
            self.children.floating_sprite:draw_shader('dissolve',0, nil, nil, self.children.center,scale_mod, rotate_mod,nil, 0.1 + 0.03*math.sin(1.8*G.TIMERS.REAL),nil, 0.6)
            self.children.floating_sprite:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, self.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
        end
    end
})

[hasty mist]

my god this is uhh

[lucid owl]

ofc! it should work perfectly, just mess around with those numbers and it'll have different visuals

[hasty mist]

very large

there has to be a better way to do that

[digital niche]

can i set this function in the "use =" part of a consumable?

[lucid owl]

unfortunately not from my experience lol

[hasty mist]

how does gateway do it?

[lucid owl]

are you wanting it to.. only bounce when used?

[lucid owl]

this exactly

lol

[hasty mist]

oh god

[digital niche]

not really, but its the only part that have function in a consumable that i see here

[lucid owl]

you don't need to put it in a consumable, that codeblock is a hook so you can just throw it in your main file

the second codeblock will go in whatever file holds your consumable, but separate from any other code

[digital niche]

wait, this part?

[lucid owl]

yup, the first can go into your main file at (basically) any point

[digital niche]

thoughtt it was a function for the consumable

[lucid owl]

and the second codeblock, this one, will go into your consumable's file

[lucid owl]

nope, it's a modification to a base game function so it goes into your main file

i should have been more clear about that, mb

[hoary crown]

why is my boss blind animation too fast

[lucid owl]

so this codeblock: goes into main file, main.lua or similar, not attached to any other code

[lucid owl]

this codeblock: goes into your consumable's file, independent of any other code

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1342484578236895274/1367713655864557649/2025-05-0120-58-43-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter.gif?ex=6818391a&is=6816e79a&hm=e9659f1d176e4d519aa8fb90ed3d8ea5afc4f726017f44a5eb724ec0c7694591& this was the result for me

and just fiddle with any of the various numbers in the second codeblock to change speed, size modulaton, etc

[brisk rose]

Okay it's just weird imo that this ican't also spawn as a spectral imo

[lucid owl]

(i don't actually know what the different numbers do, i just kinda did shit until it looked alright)

[brisk rose]

If you stuck to that decision

[digital niche]

its workingg! tyty!

[lucid owl]

oh yeah, forgot about that

that could be fun

[lucid owl]

ofc! it took me way too long to figure that out so i'm glad you didn't have to search so long lol

[brisk rose]

(I hate swipe typing sometimes. How did 'just' become 'busy')

[hasty mist]

where are the colors for each vanilla boss blind stored?

[daring fern]

game.lua

[hasty mist]

ty

[willow plinth]

btw i got it working by symlinking: ln -s '/Users/nnmrts/Library/Application Support/Balatro' '/Users/nnmrts/Library/Application Support/LOVE/lovegame'

[digital niche]

ok so i can make new consumables but can i make like a different page in collections for enhancements? i have a special type of enhancement that i wanted to have in a different page

[glad osprey]

there are four stages of crashes
stage 1: basic gray screen
stage 2: game closes without any crash screen
stage 3: blue screen (you fucked up)
stage 4: original love2d crash screen (what the fuck did you do)

[hasty mist]

i have never seen 3 or 4

[digital niche]

only had 2 stages so far🔥

[rough furnace]

I've gotten the elusive black crash screen before

[glad osprey]

I've only ever seen stage 4 once and that was someone else's game

[queen scroll]

ooh nice! i might try that myself now that i have to go and update everything

[rough furnace]

stage 4 used to happen in almost every instance you see the blue crash now

[hasty mist]

i wanna see what stage 3 and 4 look like

[digital niche]

btw just to keep here in case someeone else needs something similar, i just did

 if SMODS.has_enhancement(G.hand.highlighted[1], 'm_mult') and
    SMODS.has_enhancement(G.hand.highlighted[2], 'm_bonus')
    or
    SMODS.has_enhancement(G.hand.highlighted[1], 'm_bonus') and
    SMODS.has_enhancement(G.hand.highlighted[2], 'm_mult') then

[glad osprey]

stage 3 just looks like the windows blue screen

and stage 4 is what you see when a normal love2d project crashes

[rough furnace]

stage 4 happens if you have a syntax error in main.lua (or conf.lua)

Stage 3 happens if it crashes before colours are initalized

(usually syntax errors in other files)

I could have made it the same colour as the normal crash but I figured it would be nice so you know it crashed real early

[gaunt thistle]

I've gotten the "instant crash because of segfault" screen a couple of times

[rough furnace]

stage 2 I want to fix

[gaunt thistle]

I didn't know that there were different stages. that's interesting

[glad osprey]

I'm pretty sure stage 2 is just the game wanting you to touch grass

[glad osprey]

I am completely pulling this out of my ass lmao

[rough furnace]

theres also the lovely panic stage

[gaunt thistle]

stage 0?

[glad osprey]

but there are different types of crashes

[gaunt thistle]

or is that stage 1

[hasty mist]

theres also the cryptid crash card

[rough furnace]

the love handler shows up before the crash handler can load (it's injected in the begnnning of main.lua so barely ever)
The blue one is just a fallback for when the colours couldn't be got

the insta close is usually a stack overflow but I'm not sure why

[faint yacht]

So when we customizing the love.errorhandler crash screen?

[gaunt thistle]

probs the backing native allocator giving up

[glad osprey]

adding the Argyle Deck to the error screen

[rough furnace]

beginning of main.lia

[hasty mist]

I've gotten stack overflow with an error message before

[rough furnace]

I think it's actually the stack trace, stack overflowing but I couldn't seem to catch it

[gaunt thistle]

I wonder if it happens with luajit2

[rough furnace]

it does

I had a replicatable case but I can't remeber whati t was now

[hasty mist]

when i get a crash without a message it's usually because I've created an infinite loop (like when i had a blueprint and leftwards blueprint target eachother)

[glad osprey]

it may just be a hardware thing

[rough furnace]

no it's not machine dependant

it's a bug in either the crash ahndler or some lua weridness

[gaunt thistle]

so it's not because of the 2gb object limit

[rough furnace]

no

I don't think so

[gaunt thistle]

we all hate the 2gb object limit

[sturdy compass]

stank

[gusty iron]

FOR MY EXIT 8 FANS

[glad osprey]

who the fuck is that

[gusty iron]

one of my friends

[glad osprey]

oh ok

[rough furnace]

oh I found the replicatable test case

eval function _G.live_test() _G.live_test() end then press space

[gusty iron]

would it be possible to change a joker's loc_text from a joker

[hasty mist]

wdym

[gaunt thistle]

is that a silent crash?

[rough furnace]

yes

[glad osprey]

jolly edition from cryptid would be your best bet

[gusty iron]

an idea for an anomaly i had was it obfuscates a joker's description, would that be possible?

[gaunt thistle]

you could profile the game with valgrind

[hasty mist]

I'm not sure

[gaunt thistle]

otherwise a debugger is a good bet

I bet it's allocator instability

[rough furnace]

valgrind doesn't seem to like me

[gaunt thistle]

I've had trouble with it too haha

[gusty iron]

i think i have an idea

[gaunt thistle]

I just use x64dbg

[gusty iron]

how do i get the jokers again

[rough furnace]

oh actually I think it just slows down lovely a ton

[gusty iron]

its G.GAME.Jokers right

[rough furnace]

it's not exsiting with a non-0 status

[gaunt thistle]

same it's similar to gamepass

[rough furnace]

I think its an issue with some lua code

[gaunt thistle]

game dies, 0 exit code

yeah

[rough furnace]

not sure if it's ours or love's

[gaunt thistle]

it could be luajit too

each recurse gets a new stack frame, right?

[rough furnace]

somehow doubt it

[gaunt thistle]

or is it tail call optimized

[rough furnace]

if i remove the smods error handler it does print this ```
INFO - [G] Error: [string "DebugPlus Eval"]:1: stack overflow

but still silently closes

not sure if I removed it the wrong way\

[gaunt thistle]

maybe it's love2d explicitly handling stack overflow errors?

[rough furnace]

this should be pcallable

[gaunt thistle]

it gets it, emirt a debug message, and then exirs

[rough furnace]

I think it is

which is why I made it in live_test

[gaunt thistle]

I'll need to look through love2d and see what other kinds of crashes it handles. it's made debugging the gamepass version really hard haha

[rough furnace]

it should be catachable

[gusty iron]

where would i find that in the code?

[rough furnace]

Reasonsable performance

[gaunt thistle]

seems pretty normal? idk how to really read that when I'm this sleep deprived

[rough furnace]

I think so

I think it's Lua code

[faint yacht]

...actually, on that topic, iirc mods could add something to a given error screen or something?

[rough furnace]

Yeah

Oh I misunderstood that message I replied to there

However that colour changing mod does change the crash screen colours

[faint yacht]

Was not speaking of colors changing, but something about adding custom text?

[gusty iron]

is there anyway to change the name of a blind via code?

[cobalt surge]

I think its part of the localizations

[gusty iron]

how would i access that?

[cobalt surge]

Idk i just translated stuff before hence why i know

Its a line in the localization file

For each language

Hope that helps

[vocal cedar]

How does take_ownership work on enhancements?

like if i wanted to rework wild cards with a "take ownership" do i have to program everything from scratch with them? or can i just change the "calculate" function and they will keep their name etc

[rough furnace]

They inherit all old values you font change

[vocal cedar]

oh nice so if i say

wanted wilds to have a 1 in 2 chance of retriggering all i would need to do is just provide a calculate function and change the loc text?

[opal spade]

yes

calc function, change the loc texts + loc vars to show the accurate chances

[native zinc]

how doth one remove hands and it not go negative

(with multiple of the same joker)

[crisp coral]

use events

[daring fern]

You set it to math.max(1, hands - number)

[native zinc]

i see

[native zinc]

and not use ease_hands?

[thorn pumice]

good morning Modding Dev

[vocal cedar]

awesome thank you

[vocal cedar]

whats good bro

hey also is there a way to stop things from being debuffed ever

like "wild cards cannot be debuffed by boss blinds" type shit

or would i have to go into the actual boss blinds and work on that

[opal spade]

there's a smods function for applying debuffs and it has a key that allows you to turn a card immune to debuffs

[vocal cedar]

hmm, in documentation?

[opal spade]

ye

[vocal cedar]

hmm, okay

excellent info, its possible

time to scavenge

masn

i cannot find it

anyone have experince with smods.debuffs?

wait

we good

[thorn flame]

is there a way for a joker to check what stake youre on

[daring fern]

G.GAME.stake?

[thorn flame]

or something like stone joker except it only appears if you have an eternal joker

hmm

ill see

thanks

[vocal cedar]

you guys can see what im trying to do here yeah

im trying to prevent debuffs if a card is a wild card

but im calling debuff_card wrong

not sure how to actually read this in

[daring fern]

That's been done way too many times, have you tried looking at other mods?

[vocal cedar]

or where it should go tbh

[vocal cedar]

wait deadass lol

hmm, i havent yet, not sure where exactly to look

let me paruze

[daring fern]

Hook set_debuff?

[thorn flame]

would this work?

[vocal cedar]

havent played around with hooks yet :wince: how do those work

[vocal cedar]

isnt exactly checking for stake but should work for what your looking for i think

stakes set those as im aware

[thorn flame]

yeah jic a mod does it

[vocal cedar]

the fire effect, when you one shot a blind

where is that coded

or

more in line. what game object checks your played hands score?

[manic rune]

i used three hooks for this one

[vocal cedar]

i figured it out thankfully nw

[manic rune]

oh lol

this is what i did :p

[vocal cedar]

it was answered before

oh man

well

[vocal cedar]

this is literally all that was required 💀 you cooked tho

[daring fern]

No, you should be using SMODS.has_enhancement

[vocal cedar]

oh fr? this isnt really my code so not sure how far it reaches

[manic rune]

i dont even think anything can debuff my wild cards at this point 😭

[vocal cedar]

OH IVE SEEN YOUR CODE lol

you did dx tarots right

[manic rune]

uh

nop

[vocal cedar]

oh hmm

someone else out there has an upgraded lovers

that makes wild cards that cant be debuffed

but regular ones can?

its funky

[vocal cedar]

the humble verdant leaf looking at this unstoppable object

[manic rune]

🤔 thats actually not so hard, the upgraded lovers can put a flag on the cards, which the code will see to ignore debuffs

[vocal cedar]

yep

[manic rune]

the indomitable wild cards spirit

[vocal cedar]

better?

i might need to check but i think this should also work

def not as in depth as your solution

im gonna test as many boss blinds as possible i guess

[iron iron]

whats the default for blueprint compat if i dont set it

[dense crescent]

@mintymechanic isn't SMODS provide a way to prevent debuff?

[wintry solar]

iirc true

[vocal cedar]

yeah but those gotta be naturally assigned to cards

besides

we good

they do infact be working

[vocal cedar]

anyway bump

like if your score is 230,000k but your last hand scored you like 200,000 of that

how can i check that 200K value

cause C.chips is set to 230K rn

im trying to check if you one shot the blind

[manic rune]

hand_chips * mult, i guess?

nah wait

nvm idk, some mods replace * with ^, some others add new variables like POW to be calculated too so thats definitely not the best way

[vocal cedar]

is it G.GAME.hand_chips

it is

[bold sleet]

Hello, question: Is there a way to make so the info queue of any given card is not recursive?

[vocal cedar]

wonderfull thanks fellas

[vocal cedar]

i got no clue, sorry lol. Im sure someone around here is smarter than me tho

[bold sleet]

-# probably gonna look generate_card_ui

-# again

[daring fern]

Yes.

[bold sleet]

...and how do?

[dense crescent]

maybe you can iterate the info queue to see if key already there?

[daring fern]

You set it to {key = "keyofthing", set = "setofthing"}

[vocal cedar]

man

its really not liking that if statement...

[bold sleet]

I have this. (the key is the key of the joker itself).
I assume it crashes because it tries to generate the info_queue of the same joker, which in term generates the info_queue of the same joker and so on...

[daring fern]

No, it's literally just hand_chips

And mult

[vocal cedar]

lol?

wild lol

[dense crescent]

I'm pretry sure hand_chips is global

[vocal cedar]

gocha

awesome thank you guys

let me cekc this

[daring fern]

{key = "j_fg_test", set = "Joker"}

[bold sleet]

That's not the problem

[daring fern]

Then what is?

[bold sleet]

The problem is that it works, but because of that, it tries to generate the info_queue again because the joker has also the info_queue entry.

Let me explain.

[daring fern]

You should also be setting info_queue[#info_queue+1]

[bold sleet]

idk, the fool, for example

[bold sleet]

ikik, that's not the problem here

[bold sleet]

Let's say you used the devl before the fool.

[bold sleet]

That means that the fool, will have in its info queue the devl, but the devil in term has in its info queue the description for gold cards.

Thus, when hovering over the fool, it generates BOTH 'elements', and not just the devil description.

I need something that does just that. Adds the entry to info_queue but not subsequently whatever you added might have in its info_queue.

[daring fern]

I provided you with the solution?

[dense crescent]

try

local contains
for _, q in ipairs(info_queue) do
  if q == G.P_CENTERS.j_key then
    contains = true
    break
  end
end
if not contains then
  info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_key
end

[bold sleet]

checking

[daring fern]

No?

[bold sleet]

nope

[daring fern]

{key = "j_fg_test", set = "Joker"} should grab the localization for the joker and show it, but not get the other info queues?

[bold sleet]

Game freezes because it seems to repeatedly generate (and add) new entries to the info queue

[crisp coral]

if not card.fake_card then

[bold sleet]

The problem is that that logic is done inside the generate_card_ui function, which is what I believe responsible for making all these things work.

Literally at the very end of the file.

~line 2740

[crisp coral]

.

[bold sleet]

wat

[vocal cedar]

rq yall know how to get rid of that "+5 chips"

its not even scoring the 5 chips it just says 5 chips lol

[bold sleet]

holdon

[dense crescent]

perma bonus maybe?

[bold sleet]

owers

[daring fern]

Did you try it though?

[vocal cedar]

nah its cause its a 5 of spades enhanced to a stone card

like i said its not even doing the shit

[bold sleet]

...that function is inside balatro so uh... that is my guess.

Knowing how it applied retroactively.

[daring fern]

I have no clue what you're trying to say but it definitely works:

[bold sleet]

azaming

then idk

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS[this_joker_key] did not work

[daring fern]

Yes, but that's not what I'm telling you to do?

[bold sleet]

ikik

I say that's what I WAS trying to do/.

Before I came here to ask.

[maiden phoenix]

@stiff locust

[stiff locust]

this is the ssecond time i'm being pinged for this

yeah yeah i get it anti tsunami

i have no doubt it will happen more times

[maiden phoenix]

Want to be pinged a third time?

[bold sleet]

Now more questions: Is there a way to use this function without nuking the target card's previos values?

-# i.e. I just want to add a line to loc_vars

[daring fern]

In what way?

[bold sleet]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker_key',
  {
    loc_vars = function (self,info_queue,card)
      -- my own bs code
    end
      -- Somehow keep here the card's original code
  },
  true
)

idk

[daring fern]

Maybe you could patch it instead?

[bold sleet]

^ dumb idiot brain right here

[daring fern]

Or are you thinking that all of the cards code will be overwritten if you just change the loc_vars

[bold sleet]

As far as I know, that function nukes what was previously there and replaces it with the new bs you tell it.

In that case, it would just noke loc_vars completely.

[daring fern]

As long as you only replace loc_vars it will only change loc_vars?

[bold sleet]

But I kind of want to keep every card's original loc_vars

I just want to add A single line of code.

[daring fern]

Patch it?

[bold sleet]

no fucking idea how to patch

[cyan lagoon]

what is the enhancement version of set_seal?

[bold sleet]

Probably just set = "Tarot" | "Planet" | "Spectral" | custom by your mod

If I am getting it right.

[daring fern]

set_ability?

[cyan lagoon]

it works the same way right?

[daring fern]

No, you put G.P_CENTERS["m_key"] instead.

[cyan lagoon]

ok, but how do i work poll_enhancement in there?

[daring fern]

card:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement({})) I think.

[cyan lagoon]

aight, thanks

[hushed arrow]

is this the correct way to load mod files? I have no idea

[brisk rose]

those are consumable sets? I don't see the connection

[daring fern]

Why are you passing a second input?

[brisk rose]

seems to think files need keys?

yeah.... they don't

wait...

I didn't read it

[hushed arrow]

uh I saw this in the smodded repo

[brisk rose]

what does that even mean?

[daring fern]

Also why do you have a JSON and a header?

[brisk rose]

why is it all the same?

[brisk rose]

the id is passed on its own I think

but I'm talking out of my ass again

[crisp coral]

it's for smods to load the main file of mods

[topaz tiger]

is it possible to get multiple shaders to appear on a card, mind you i have no idea what im doing but this is my code it doesnt error but nothing happens, and im betting i should use drawstep or smth but have no clue onhow to do that

[hushed arrow]

honestly I forgot where the json come from already

[dense crescent]

SMODS.curent_mod.load_file()?

[brisk rose]

oh yeah if you're looking in smods code, make sure you're actually looking at the function defintion

not just where it uses its own function

[daring fern]

No, It's just SMODS.load_file()()

[hushed arrow]

alright so what do I have to do to load all my mod files?

[brisk rose]

just load them with SMODS.load_file(path)

pretty sure

[dense crescent]

SMODS.load_file() return is a function maybe?

[broken shadow]

is there an easy way for me do read balatros code so i can get an understanding of how jokers and stuff work

[dense crescent]

like lua loadfile() result

[crisp coral]

add brackets to the end to run the function yeah

SMODS.load_file(path)()

[hushed arrow]

could you give an example of what path can be?

[brisk rose]

it's relative to the main folder

lole it'd just be "xyz.lua" if it's in the main folder

or "/src/xyz.lua" if it's in a folder called src

the leading / might not work in lua, idk

i'm used to writing it in linux

[hushed arrow]

so based on this it would just be SMODS.load_file("BalatroTweaks.lua")?

[brisk rose]

and you need to ad () to the end we learned

so SMODS.load_file("BalatroTweaks.lua")()

[hushed arrow]

I think that caused my game to crash

[daring fern]

Yes, but no because that's the file your loading them from.

[brisk rose]

oh yeah you don't load itseld

itself

you put the main file in your json metadata

there's a field that asks what the main file of the mod is

that's where you put "BalatroTweaks.lua"

And in BalatroTweaks.lua you load everything else

[subtle hawk]

My ass thought that :add_to_deck() would return cards to the current deck but it actually moves them to the full deck. Is there an intented way to move cards to the current deck?

[brisk rose]

and it's fine if that's all the file is

[hushed arrow]

oh yeah. I did not have that json file

[daring fern]

No? That function is used when the card is obtained?

[brisk rose]

as in it's fine if all your main file does is load the actual files

[daring fern]

Where do you want to move them from?

[subtle hawk]

Baaah wordiing. I used it to return cards from hand to deck but it functionally discards them

[brisk rose]

once you have the json file set up, remove the mod header

it's redundant and will break things

question, does your metadata file have to be titled [id].json, or will it just pull from whatever json is in the root?

I guess it won't even know the id without reading the json

so the filename can't matter?

[subtle hawk]

My metadata file is named... ||metadata||

[hushed arrow]

so my original implementation? minus the 2nd param #💻・modding-dev message

[brisk rose]

yes, and adding the () on the end

and removing the header

[hushed arrow]

yay it works now thanks

I had to put it though, it didnt work without

[brisk rose]

it's what myst said so I just repeated it

[crisp coral]

i don't assert

[hushed arrow]

what's asserting?

[daring fern]

If something inside assert() returns false it will force crash the game.

It's usually to know if something didn't load right.
