[zealous glen]

just skin and bones

[modern kindle]

well that depends on the seasonings methinks

[zealous glen]

thank you for thinking how you would season me if I were cooked

[turbid maple]

what you got so far

[zealous glen]

which I am

[wild escarp]

This code ends up giving x5 mult on all played cards if there is any wild card in the hand at all, what am I doing wrong?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
    for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
      if v.config.center == G.P_CENTERS.m_wild then
        return{
          x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
          colour = G.C.MULT
        }
      end
    end
  end
end

[modern kindle]

i got you bestie
but how are you cooked

[daring fern]

Hand should be the string of the hand.

[gusty iron]

how would i get that exactly?

[zealous glen]

Hmmm I'd rather not talk right now, not the least because I should go to sleep

[modern kindle]

well, get some rest, and we can always talk later my friend
rest well

[daring fern]

Put all the strings in a table then get a random value from there.

[gusty iron]

the keys or the names

[brisk rose]

it's not the undiscovered reverse zodiac or joker evolution?

[daring fern]

Get the strings by iterating through G.GAME.hands with pairs and getting the key.

[brisk rose]

the undiscovered reverse zodiac seems like someone fucked up the undiscovered sprite for their consumable

[zealous glen]

Thank you dilly :)

[willow plinth]

undiscovered reverse zodiac

nah it's localizations...i'm pretty sure now that my smods is just too new and the API somehow made undiscovered_ localizations required when they weren't before, i guess?

i'll research smods history

[brisk rose]

oh that's what it was?

[wild escarp]

bump

[gusty iron]

oh hello

[brisk rose]

what am I looking at?

like this looks normal?

[turbid maple]

whats the intended behavior
just X5 Mult if wild card held in hand?

[wild escarp]

X5 mult on any played wild card, like trib, but wilds.

[brisk rose]

ah I see, and your brain is rotted so you wanted it to be mercury or pluto :P

(I like calling the hands by their planet names)

[gusty iron]

no its just what i pulled first

[brisk rose]

ah ic ic

[gusty iron]

i got a lvl 4 flush my next run

[willow plinth]

oh i'm just fucking stupid i think

[brisk rose]

i thought you were excited by the specific result, but nah just /a/ result

[gusty iron]

i dont exactly know if the locked hands have a chance to be leveled up but if it is that would be hilarious

[turbid maple]

context.individual calculation is triggered for each card played (context.other_card) this is all you need to check

[daring fern]

They do if you’re not checking for visibility.

[brisk rose]

no argument and same, but elaborate :P

[gusty iron]

oh my god peak

[sturdy compass]

This is a really fun concept

[turbid maple]

you're checking the entire hand in the code that should check a single card

[brisk rose]

oh this could blow

what if spectrum was rolled?

unless there's an in_pool too

[gusty iron]

its one of the scrapped decks from the demo

[sturdy compass]

Oh huh

[wild escarp]

Okay, got it.

[gusty iron]

i just tweaked it a bit

[brisk rose]

but nah that doessn't make sense because you need to play a spectrum tio unlock it

so yeah there's an issue

[gusty iron]

this was the og

[broken rivet]

is it possible to return two separate tables from a joker calculate function, or force the game to get two separate tables from it somehow?

[willow plinth]

#⚙・modding-general message

i'm stupid and didn't realize it could actually be this (completely unrelated in theory because the topic was fonts and such)

well now i know lovely patches can fuck literally anything

[brisk rose]

oh it used your stats?

i need to look at my stats screen

[broken rivet]

trying to make a joker that behaves as both a left and right blueprint

[sturdy compass]

I wonder why it got scrapped

[gusty iron]

no i couldnt get it to get stats so i just made it random

[daring fern]

You could use SMODS.calculate_effect or you could return an extra table.

[brisk rose]

I meant the original

[gusty iron]

the unlock condition is "Play a hand type 75 times in one run"

[brisk rose]

ah yeah i see the issue

[sturdy compass]

Good luck 😭

[broken rivet]

i tried calculate_effect but it led to issues with a bunch of jokers

it somehow made sixth sense straight up do nothing

[brisk rose]

should be possible?

like doesn't even sound that complex if you can do a normal blueprint

[sturdy compass]

Yeah but it's gonna be hard

Cuz that's two effects you need to calc

[daring fern]

Then you could do return {first joker effects, extra = {second joker effects}}

[broken rivet]

ah
i do need to be careful of jokers that already return extra tables though

[daring fern]

No, extra goes infinitely.

[broken rivet]

oh

so i just make sure the one with the extra table goes inside one without pretty much

my worry is nuking an extra table by accident

[daring fern]

You would check how many extras there are in a loop then use it when there is no extra table.

[broken rivet]

though that'd only affect hiker and 8 ball in vanilla

[brisk rose]

why isn't blueprint in smods modded vanillia?

it would probably be very very helpful

[weary haven]

hell yeah

[brisk rose]

well someone is remaking all jokers in smods now

so it will be

[broken rivet]

like recursively?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[broken rivet]

ah fun

[red flower]

i have code for that extra table thing

[broken rivet]

oh?

where

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/effects.lua#L492

[zealous glen]

SMODS has an utility function to merge tables, although you might want to nest returns into extras

[gusty iron]

how do i set the starting money of a challenge?

nvm i think i figured it out

[brisk rose]

lol. I may occasioanlly play flush

[brisk rose]

best win strak: 3 lmfaooo

[gusty iron]

added another modifier, tell me if i should change anything

[brisk rose]

I used to have modded jokers here, but either the joker keys have changed or I don't play with those specific mods anymore, or smods removed that functionality

[onyx sonnet]

If you really want to remove all sources of money you'd also have to set all sell values to 0 although I don't think that's an already present modifier

[gusty iron]

i just wanna remove all normal methods

[onyx sonnet]

I see

Ban Hermit and Temperance

[gusty iron]

ill allow those too

mainly because i dont know the keys

[onyx sonnet]

Pretty sure it's just

c_hermit

And c_temperance

[gusty iron]

also what are all of the money tags

[onyx sonnet]

I only remember economy and investment

[gusty iron]

im guessing those are t_economy and t_investment?

tag_economy i mean

[onyx sonnet]

Yeah

There's another one but I don't remember it's name

Just check the collection

[gusty iron]

:)

[daring fern]

You forgot speed.

[onyx sonnet]

That's the one I forgot

[gusty iron]

tag_speed is in the list

i dont think the id is the same as the name

[chrome widget]

Are you able to declare an object as a Center rather than as one of the specific center types?

[gusty iron]

what's its id

[flat sorrel]

tag_skip

[red flower]

you can extend from SMODS.Center, why?

[gusty iron]

tyty

[chrome widget]

But it can't be used on its own?

I'm working on dummy items that primarily exist for ease of display in Challenges, but I'm encountering some issues with them still existing in pools and being counter for the stake ticker tally

So I'm trying to find the most effective way to have a displayable item that is otherwise ignored

[red flower]

Yeah I think you can extend from SMODS.Center
Not sure exactly how tho. I know Aiko's mod has a lot of dummy objects for UI stuff

[chrome widget]

I probably just have to follow the given implementation in the SMODS code then

[wintry solar]

iirc no_collection stops the counter too

[chrome widget]

far as I'm aware, no

I have all of these set to no_collection and they're still counted for joker stickers

[lucid owl]

posting waaay later, but unfortunately that didn't seem to work

(posting again just in case) i have a card modifier that makes played cards return to the deck. while the card modifier works perfectly, the effect of returning them to the deck results in strange ghost cards on the deck ingame. what's going wrong with this? i'm simply lovely patching G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard() and draw_card()

[chrome widget]

For example, the usable joker count is 270, 18 full pages. Meaning we should have 2160 stickers, but it's adding an extra 16 for these two dummy items set to no_collection = true because they're still part of G.P_CENTERS

[wintry solar]

This seems unintentional

[chrome widget]

On our part or on SMODS's part?

[wintry solar]

On smods part

I feel like hidden items shouldn’t count towards the sticker count

[chrome widget]

Another reason I'm having to wiggle around with it is because of mod compatibility, so someone encountered one of these because of the Equilibrium Deck

[wintry solar]

I wouldn’t worry about how cryptid fucks with pools if I were you

[chrome widget]

Which I believe is a similar pool issue

Although I would normally agree, I have been tasked by higher powers to ry

[wintry solar]

If they completely ignore the results of an in_pool function, that’s on them, not you

[zealous glen]

Do a Cryptid PR

But yes, if a mod doesn't respect weights or in_pool then it's their fault

[wintry solar]

Whilst I’m not hugely familiar with the cryptid code base, it does seem like a lot of it has been designed in a way to work with itself and not play amazingly nicely with other mods

[hasty mist]

i think it's "no_doe" to prevent something from appearing in deck of equilibrium

unless i misunderstood

[red flower]

I'm sure this is how everyone plays cryptid 🙂

[zealous glen]

When they see that Talisman breaks other mods they uninstall Talisman, surely 🙂

[gentle rain]

counterpoint is that the thesis of cryptid is getting silly game breaks such as this

personally i would find if very funny if i found this myself

[zealous glen]

Let her fix it then make a bug report about the "non CardSauce Jokers" not showing up in the shop

[gentle rain]

hehe

[red flower]

easy fix assert(not next(SMODS.find_mod("Cryptid")))

[lucid owl]

bump bump ghost cards when drawing cards from hand directly to deck

[chrome widget]

Yeah Im gonna do an smods PR

Oh wait

Hold on

I think they just fixed it -- nvm it was keku

[zealous glen]

It wasn’t a SMODS issue though, was it?

[chrome widget]

It was

[zealous glen]

Also I was telling someone to report the fix as a bug ;P

[sudden cave]

How does pseudorandom work? I see in the game's code for misprint it's doing this:

if self.ability.name == 'Misprint' then
    local temp_Mult = pseudorandom('misprint', self.ability.extra.min, self.ability.extra.max)
    return {
        message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={temp_Mult}},
        mult_mod = temp_Mult
    }
end

But why does this not always give the same result? I've tried to use pseudorandom in my own code and it seems to always give the same value

[red flower]

pseudorandom always gives the same value if you do the same actions on the same seed, that's the point
unless you're talking about something else

[sudden cave]

Like triggering it multiple times always results in the same value

for me

[red flower]

it shouldn't

[azure stone]

Ive been trying to figure out the problem for a while, anyone have an idea on what it is?

[red flower]

it's a syntax error

you wrote the code wrong

[azure stone]

I understand that, just not seeing where

[red flower]

It tells you that there's a missing } near line 10

can't tell you more without seeing the code

[red flower]

you're missing a comma after config

[azure stone]

oh

Lua is very finicky

[red flower]

also the local Xmult = {...} won't do what you want

[red flower]

no this would be the same in any language

[azure stone]

Got it

[red flower]

you're defining a table when you don't need one
just do local Xmult = value without the brackets

[paper zealot]

Grabbing the Lua extension would help to flag issues like this for you

[azure stone]

That is very very useful for me

Considering I am just doing this for the first time with little coding experience at all

Thought that modding a game would be a good place to start

getting visual studio set up

[lunar hemlock]

how would i do exponent mult

[daring fern]

Use talisman.

[paper zealot]

Visual Studio is massively overkill for Lua, VSCode would be just fine (if you're not too locked-in on VS). It's much more lightweight but has most of the conveniences

[chrome widget]

Okay yep made my PR

[azure stone]

alr, ill keep that in mind

[brisk rose]

maybe I should try to make a BetterStats mod that actually displays all this shit in game

[azure stone]

also, I was thinking about having it so that a multiplier goes up by .1 for each 25$ the player has, what would be the formula for that?

[brisk rose]

single_hand_round_streak is broken though

I've done many many rounds in one hand

[daring fern]

Try looking at bootstraps or bull.

[brisk rose]

and these are supposed to be career stats, not current

[azure stone]

Great idea, thank you

[brisk rose]

lemme check in the high scores section though, it may just be layed out weird

[azure stone]

its now doing the same error code with line 12?

[red flower]

did you install the lua extension

[azure stone]

I did

[red flower]

does it show you the errors in red?

[brisk rose]

nope, so that value is just kinda useless, even if it is the actual current streak

[azure stone]

Trying to even load it with visual studio code at the moment

Got it

And no

[red flower]

weird

can you paste the code here

[azure stone]

SMODS.Joker{
name = "Midas Prime",
key = "Midas",
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
rarity = 4,
atlas = "Lead",
config = { extra = {Xmult = 1.25, xchips = 1.25} },
cost = 6,
loc_vars = function {self, info_queue, center},
return { vars = { center.ability.extra.Xmult, center.ability.extra.xchips } }
end,
calculate = function (self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card,'m_gold') then
return {Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult, xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips}
end
end,
}

loc_vars is where it says the error is

[red flower]

you're using brackets instead of parenthesis

[azure stone]

it was working before?

[red flower]

i can assure you it wasn't

[azure stone]

I meant like, the joker and game was loading. Or are you talking about that one specific place?

[red flower]

loc_vars definitely wasn't working, maybe because of the comma you were missing it thought it was part of the earlier config

[azure stone]

That makes sense

[lunar hemlock]

how would i use features added by talisman in my own mod

[lucid owl]

bumpster, ghost cards when drawing from hand straight to the deck

[brisk rose]

it makes globals, so you kinda just use them

but there are emault implentations that don't use talisman

[azure stone]

Thank you

[paper zealot]

I blame Lua's daft curly-brace function call syntactic sugar for making this less obvious to first-timers... my_function{ arg1, arg2 } is equivalent to my_function( { arg1, arg2 } ) for function calls, but not for function definitions

[open aspen]

having a lovely folder at all in my mod crashes my game instantly

like as in crashes love

doesnt even open

[open aspen]

this is an EMPTY folder

[brisk rose]

and it doesn't crash with no folder?

[rough furnace]

Send lovely log

[open aspen]

no crash

[brisk rose]

but yeah that makes sense being empty might throw an error

[open aspen]

well

[brisk rose]

because having a lovely folder is telling it to look for lovely patches there

[open aspen]

that seems to be the issue

[rough furnace]

Wait your on mac

Can you open the folder in the terminal

[open aspen]

yes

also

im doxxing myself 😭

[rough furnace]

Then run ls -a

[open aspen]

which folder

[rough furnace]

The lovely folder

The one that causes the crash

[brisk rose]

luckilu i missed it

luckily

[open aspen]

here (also i readded the patches i did have)

like it crashes

whatevers in the folder

just to be clear

[brisk rose]

wait about a single toml foile with no content?

file

[rough furnace]

Try rm .DS_Store

[open aspen]

no

sadly

[brisk rose]

what even adds those? I thought that was like a windows thing

but isk why the unix style hidden name then

[rough furnace]

Finder

[brisk rose]

ah i thought i saw them on stuff that never touched macos

maybe not

[open aspen]

for some reason the crash log aint showing

anymore

ig i restart computer

which i dont wanna do rn

so im nt

not

[brisk rose]

i mean plenty of types of crashes don't show logs

[brisk rose]

what about this

[worthy stirrup]

how can i replace the high contrast cards with my own?

[open aspen]

like

mac only shows one crash log at a time

and the window with the previous crash log

isnt showing

[rough furnace]

Try to CD into your mods directory and run find . -name ".DS_Store" -delete

[sleek cliff]

maybe this is because I'm a starter coder, but I'm not seeing what's wrong with the code like the game is saying

[brisk rose]

show a bigger screenshot

syntax stuff is silly and hard to debug

[shut crater]

the documentation for the calculate function is confusing and misleading

what the documentation is actually telling you is what values the context table has

[shut crater]

so when context.individual is true, and context.cardarea == G.play, then the context table has those values

[sleek cliff]

alrighty, so what parts do I change

[brisk rose]

but if this was all ina a ruturn table wouldn't that be fine?

[open aspen]

no fix sadly

[rough furnace]

Are you sure that lovelt folder is the one causing the issue?

Like if you disable that mod does it stop crashing?

[open aspen]

removing my mod stops crashing

removing the lovely folder in my mod

also stops the crashing

[brisk rose]

from what I'm beginnng in this momentto understand, return tables are to edit the values in the table, right?

[open aspen]

but like the patches are required for a lot of stuff

[rough furnace]

Wait question is your lovely folder open in finder rn?

[open aspen]

ok to be clear the lovely folder for patches?

it is open

[rough furnace]

Yes

[brisk rose]

well no

[rough furnace]

Can you make sure it'd not open in any then rerun the command sboce

[shut crater]

not the context table, the return table is what effects the joker should have. Things like how many chips/mult to apply

[rough furnace]

Then try

[shut crater]

what's the goal of the joker

[open aspen]

did not work

[open aspen]

?

[sleek cliff]

for each Ace played, +10 mult

[brisk rose]

misreply

meant to self reply

[rough furnace]

Can you rerun ls -a in the folder now?

[brisk rose]

and walk back what i said about return

[open aspen]

ic

no ds store

[rough furnace]

Hmm

I can check more thourghly in like an hour msybe

[open aspen]

ty that would be MUCH appreciated

[rough furnace]

Can you send me the log again since it was deleted

I'll need that

I dont need the first few lines

[shut crater]

ok, so your if statement is correct which is good. Inside your if statement you want to check if other_card is an ace (which I don't remember off the top of my head but I think is something like other_card:get_id() == 14) and if it is, return { mult = 10 }

[open aspen]

which log

lovely?

wait

i see a parse error now

[open aspen]

fixed it

[shut crater]

if you haven't already, I'd recommend checking out these examples to see how to write different types of calculate functions
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[craggy pumice]

Rlly wish there was caino example lol

[brisk rose]

i would correct you, but then you might start calling j_caino wrong when you need to use it, lol

[flat sorrel]

if context.cards_destroyed and not context.blueprint then
    local faces = 0
    for _, card in ipairs(context.glass_shattered) do
        if card:is_face() then faces = faces + 1 end
    end
    if faces > 0 then
        card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + faces * card.ability.extra.Xmult_mod
        return { message = localize(type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult}) }
    end

elseif context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
    return { xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
end

[red flower]

recreating vanilla effects is fun

calculate_context should go at the end

[craggy pumice]

TYSM (again)

[flat sorrel]

you can view any vanilla joker impl in card.lua + search for their display name (e.g. "Mr. Bones"). then you just have to translate it a little into SMODS context (so no prob)

[sleek cliff]

well it changed down

[oblique pond]

need an end for the if on line 40

[sleek cliff]

thamnk, now to see if it works

GYAHAHAHA IT WORKS

[oblique pond]

i thought this joker would be easy to make, i have been proven very wrong (yall see any issues with calculate? i'm not sure what's being done wrong)

[sleek cliff]

now to do this for multiple jonkers

[gusty iron]

how would i define a new currency?

[sleek cliff]

I love ctrl+c, ctrl+v

omg two hearts
amaryllis i see you

[brisk rose]

thinking of actually combinging these tables and others like them

I kinda wanna write a sceipt that will take this file (unpacked profile.jkr) and two or more keys, and combine them, outputting the full file with the changed

taking the name and the order from the first table passed, which would be the one that's ip to date

[scarlet thorn]

were you able to unpack the .jkr files? I was trying to use cyberchef, but its deflate and love's deflate dont seem to work with eachother

[brisk rose]

there's already a utility online to pack and ipack these

[edgy reef]

You can also jsut have this done after leanching the game (which will have them unpacked for you).

[brisk rose]

https://balatro.shorty.systems/

[brisk rose]

yeah, but idk i feel more comfortable trying to script outside of balatro

i'm not much of a coder yet, lol

but because it is lua inside might be better

so i don't have to reimplement stuff in python or whatever

[brisk rose]

it only works for profile.jkr and meta.jke. I think save.jkr is a binary file

[brisk rose]

.

but the profile is what i need anyway

[brisk rose]

I think someone told me once it's an actual ramdump of the game

idk if true

easily could be badly misremembering

i just know i get garbage

yeah it's onlyu 18 k

nevermind

idk why it's weird

[gusty iron]

for some reason my ui isnt loading??

local ui = {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {r = 0, h = 8, w = 6, colour = G.C.MULT}, nodes = {
{n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm"}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = "Testing", colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.5}}
 }},
}}

  G.HUD_upgradetree = UIBox({
    definition = ui,
    config = {parent = G.ROOM_ATTACH, type = "cm", hover = true} 
  })
    print('added ui')

[unkempt thicket]

Are you returning and calling it anywhere?

[gusty iron]

i dont think so, but shouldn parenting it just make it show?

[unkempt thicket]

The code is separate from everything else if it's never called or in a function that runs.

[gusty iron]

yeah i added in in a addevent function

[unkempt thicket]

You want to make your UI appear when the player starts a new run correct?

[gusty iron]

yeah

actually its in the apply function for a deck

[unkempt thicket]

So you want it on the deck?

[gusty iron]

no its ui that appears when you're using the deck

itll have an "upgrade tree" button at the top of the screen, which opens the ui for it

[sleek cliff]

here we go again

[shut crater]

comma at the end of line 85

you should install the lua extension in vscode

[sleek cliff]

shit youre right

[unkempt thicket]

Okay, so you want to add a button and overlay UI. Usually when working with UI you want to patch a call to the function you're using in the location you want it.

Kind of like i did here

[gusty iron]

yeah im just testing to see how i would actually spawn ui in the first place

[rough furnace]

False they are all the same type of file, and it was designed for save.jkr first with profile.jkr, meta.jkr and settings.jkr as afterthoughts

[azure stone]

Does anybody know how to make the display work?

For a joker, because the value I am putting in keeps coming up as nil

Even though it's fully functioning

[red flower]

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

[azure stone]

thank you

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know where 's code is? wanna setup a variable that tracks each time it hits

[scarlet thorn]

ctrl+f Card.lua

[gusty iron]

HELLO UI

[sonic cedar]

yeah i know that much (i had to take ownership of it before) but which part is the nope setup

why did i not send the code am i dumb

(ignore the findcard part obv that's the edit)

[rough furnace]

If you want to programmatticalt do it the source for https://balatro.shorty.systems/ is available here https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/balatro-save-loader. There's a "library" you can use for helping with stuff. Misc/test.js may be useful for reference

[unkempt thicket]

Buttons tend to be in their own functions and would call on your main function. G.FUNCS.insc_change_scribe = function(e) The place you are looking to make a patch is in the function G.UIDEF.view_deck in target = '=[SMODS _ "src/overrides.lua"]' to make UI appear in deck view. Though I'm sure there's other places you could patch to achieve a similar effect, that's just how I did it.

[scarlet thorn]

Vanilla balatro line 1966. searching localize('k_nope_ex') gets you to it

[sonic cedar]

hell yeah thanks

[scarlet thorn]

was just poking around, but thanks for the refs 🙂

[sonic cedar]

?

is it not card.lua?

[scarlet thorn]

Oh shit yea I forgot. I mucked up my line numbers by formatting the files

Just search what I said

[sonic cedar]

oh ok ok

[shut crater]

lovely dump > vanilla source

it's a hill I'll die on

or at least fight for

dying is a bit extreme

[sonic cedar]

yeah but im slightly too lazy to do that

[scarlet thorn]

I use it when replicating vanilla code, when having cryptid and a few other common mods installed

[glad osprey]

in this specific situation it was better to use vanilla

[shut crater]

can you explain why?

[glad osprey]

code lines won't be shifted by patches

[shut crater]

oh you just mean for sharing where to look

[glad osprey]

yea

[scarlet thorn]

Ive got autoformat or smth, and at one point in the last 4 months I mustve ctrl+s'd card.lua

so all my stuff is mucked

[rough furnace]

Nah I always use source because otherwise some random person desjded to change one line halfway through and then I do something that I shouldn't do because it only works when their mod is present

[shut crater]

yeah I guess that makes sense, I was operating under the assumption that only SMODS was in the mods folder but if you have other mods/patches then that would screw it up

[rough furnace]

Also it helped me fix an accidental dependency one time

[scarlet thorn]

if/when im making content in a mod, I like to use a simple cryptid modpack, so that I can quick reference vanilla and post-mod code

[gusty iron]

if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.game_over and not context.blueprint and context.main_eval then
  level_up_hand(self, G.braidedhand, true, 3)
end
``` this doesnt seem to be running

[brisk rose]

I just realized that even if this is being stored as lua in game, it's definitely being unpacked to json

this is after tryign to trat it as a lua listin some onine lua running

[scarlet thorn]

GC, wilson posted this

[brisk rose]

lmfao

[scarlet thorn]

it could help you

[brisk rose]

wait, that's your site?

[gusty iron]

context.main_eval seems to be false, any reason why??

[brisk rose]

I never realized that, very cool

[lucid owl]

(posting again just in case) i have a card modifier that makes played cards return to the deck. while the card modifier works perfectly, the effect of returning them to the deck results in strange ghost cards on the deck ingame. what's going wrong with this? i'm simply lovely patching G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_discard() and draw_card()

[scarlet thorn]

You should just be able to emplace the playing card back into G.deck from G.discard

[brisk rose]

So I'm confused how the 'raw' view is still json that you create from the non json (presumably lua or lua flavored source?) It seems misleading

[lucid owl]

wdym? i'm specifically trying to fix the animation for cards being taken from the hand right into the deck

i use table.insert() at one point but it has basically the same function as :emplace()

[scarlet thorn]

Im saying like, after all calulations are done, whatever the context is for that idk, emplace the cards to the G.deck cardarea

Or loop over G.discard.cards and only those with the edition are replaced

[gusty iron]

i tried replacing it, and now this just runs several times, any help?

calculate = function(self, back, context)
if context.end_of_round and context.individual then
  level_up_hand(self, G.braidedhand, true, 3)
end
end

[lucid owl]

i don't know if that would have any effect? all functionality for the card modifier is programmed and works, the only problem is the draw_card() animation i use creates those strange cards, they don't create any problems from a gameplay standpoint though

[brisk rose]

though I'm sure there's json modules for python, so if youe save thing can load and reconvert and pack it then I guess doing my merging outside of game wouldn't be any harder

[rough furnace]

Yeah the tool just works with json and its easier to just give json cause I can validate if it's correct or not. It's raw in the fact it'd not just a list of options I made for the user

Also can be pretty printerd

(The actual raw save would be entirely on one line I believe)

[brisk rose]

yeah that would need to be fixed ofc. But besides that, what is the data type of it?

just a big ol lua table?

[rough furnace]

Yeah

Well it's actually just Lua code that returns a table

[brisk rose]

fair

[brisk rose]

well I guess I'm either trying to do this in game which I don't like the idea of, or I'm using python to deal with the json. Though once again I need to make sure that your took can reverse the process

[rough furnace]

I mean if you want you can use my tool to just concert to and from the lus

You'd just have to write a tiny amount of code

Also my json conversion isn't perfect

[brisk rose]

I mean... that's only better insomuch as I don't really wanna relearn python when i should be learning lua

[scarlet thorn]

smods bundles a json lib with it

[brisk rose]

which tbh is kidna a good reason

lol

[scarlet thorn]

you could look at that

[paper trout]

how can i get a card's enhancement in a way that will work as an input to set_ability? like i can see a couple different ways to get bonus card from this but which one would work as an input for that without me having to convert it to smth else first?

[brisk rose]

well if it isn't perfect json, i'd rather have the actual lua

just formatted a bit nicer

[scarlet thorn]

SMODS:get_enhancement or smth like it

[scarlet thorn]

dunno if its 'perfect' but its used for the mod metadata json files

[brisk rose]

I mean wilson's conversion in the first place

from his own mouth

[brisk rose]

.

[scarlet thorn]

?

[brisk rose]

wilson made the site? I wouldn't like wanna convert it to json for the shit of it myseelf

so i'd rather work directly with the lua than possibly nonstandard json

[rough furnace]

My json is standard it just doesn't support everything

[brisk rose]

plus i don't know python or anything else any better than lua at this point

[rough furnace]

Like infinity

[brisk rose]

oh sorry

i misunderstood

[gusty iron]

fnuuy

[rough furnace]

But you could make a lua program to read the lua and then just write it to json using the json lib

[scarlet thorn]

i was just saying that the json lib existed, didnt know ur plans

[brisk rose]

all I want to do is take 2 (or possibly more) joker keys and combine the tables for them so they show up right on the stats screen

[rough furnace]

The stats screen in game?

[brisk rose]

yeah pretty sure it's where it reads this from, it's the only plac its stored

mods change keys and stuff sometimes

[rough furnace]

Why do you need to do anything out of the game then?

[brisk rose]

for the same joker

[rough furnace]

Oh wait

Sorry I think I understand

[brisk rose]

I don't really, i'm just less comfortable doing it hot

[brisk rose]

I think i could accomplish this with the debugplus console if i wanted

[old bane]

how did you do this :3

[rough furnace]

The game is probably easier to do stiff because all the data that's saved in the files is already loaded

[scarlet thorn]

My current project was gonna be out of game

until I just decided to make it ingame

better UX and easier development by miles

Also wanted to make it work without smods, but ........ not gonna happen 🙂

[brisk rose]

yeah it's just that.... it'd be a lot of relaunching and launching the game and replacing borked profile files from backups

just to edit a text file with a script

essentially

[gusty iron]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

good luck.

[scarlet thorn]

debug plus watch lua path function:

[brisk rose]

is this direcated at me?

[scarlet thorn]

ye

[brisk rose]

as I said i know i could do that, but it'd suck for the above reasons

when it's a very simple task that should not involve all that nonsense in theory

the nonsense of starting and stopping a video game and debugging

[scarlet thorn]

you wouldnt have to start or stop ever

unless it crashes

you can just test the code instantly

[brisk rose]

I mean... borking my profile file and having to replace it with a backup would nessacitate such

[scarlet thorn]

Just copy it, and use that one

NFS.read / NFS.write to make a copy

[brisk rose]

ah, i see where you're getting

use the game like a terminal

[scarlet thorn]

yep

Ive got absolutely 0 idea how to run lua outside of a roblox project, or through lovely lmao

so its how I roll

unless I google "online lua compiler" lmao

[brisk rose]

i was messing around with a web based lua runner until i realized it was json

took me way too long

[brisk rose]

yeah, lol that

[brisk rose]

surprsingly worked with 500kb of text no issue

which isn't a lot

but is a big text file

[gusty iron]

how do i stop a suit from spawning in naturally?

[brisk rose]

an in_pool function that returns false

and would return true when you did want it to spawn

[scarlet thorn]

love.threads are a wild beast to tame

[brisk rose]

so the only real issue here is like.... idk how to develop inside of debugplus and not just lose everything if i press the wrong key and haven't caopied it to my clip board

i guess I'll have to be alt-tabbing

because i want to write it as something i can reuse

[frigid blaze]

Guys, can anyone advise want to make a dna joker but I was told vanilla doesn't make sense, where to start?

[scarlet thorn]

the love terminal lets you copy the things you've typed in

[brisk rose]

"and i haven't copied it to my clip board"

[scarlet thorn]

youd be able to get them from there

[brisk rose]

as I said i'll just have to be tabbing in and out of notepad

[brisk rose]

oh i see

it'll go to the logs duh

[scarlet thorn]

yea

[brisk rose]

brain no worky sometimes

[scarlet thorn]

on god

[naive raptor]

is there a context for xmult?

[scarlet thorn]

wdym? like duplicare?

[brisk rose]

wrong reply?

wait maube not

[naive raptor]

like every time an xmult triggers, activate this code

[scarlet thorn]

Or maybe im thinking of exponentia

[scarlet thorn]

Ill look rq, but def not in vanilla or smods

it would be cryptid/jens

[brisk rose]

oh i thought this was a typo of duplicate

[naive raptor]

i think cryptid has an exotic like it yeah

[brisk rose]

lmfaoo

[naive raptor]

lemmie check the wiki

i think theres a cryptid wiki

[scarlet thorn]

thats for contributing to cryptid afaik

but it doesnt hurt to check

[faint yacht]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Cryptid/Exponentia

[naive raptor]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Cryptid

[scarlet thorn]

yea that guy

[naive raptor]

alright ill check cryptid's code

which may be a bad idea but whatever

[scarlet thorn]

No there is no context

[old bane]

how would one do it during gameplay because i understand it for like the config tabs and such but like idk how one would have it be while one is in the game 😭

cause i tried looking at how joker display did it and it's too confusing

[rough furnace]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/docs/dev.md#watch

[scarlet thorn]

You would have to manually add ur own elements to the specific area. Most if not all are in functions/UI_definitions.lua

[rough furnace]

Unless you just mean like testing stuff quick

Otherwise remember the lovely log keeps it

[scarlet thorn]

I think only the bottom part would be relevant there

[manic rune]

how do i check if a consumable is a spectral card?

[scarlet thorn]

set == "Spectral"

[manic rune]

i remember having to check set or something, but can't remember where it is

[scarlet thorn]

self.set or card.config.center.set

[manic rune]

mm none worked

[scarlet thorn]

smth like that

[manic rune]

oh nevermind

the second one works, thanks

[scarlet thorn]

lesgo

Who wouldve thought crashing would be a bad thing and lead to bad results

(not a debug plus issue wilson dw)

[manic rune]

truly

[scarlet thorn]

gotta wipe my mods folder again woo

[naive raptor]

how would i implement this into my own joker?

[scarlet thorn]

mmmmmm

[scarlet thorn]

Honestly, best way is just copy the implementation and credit cryptid

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/026b3893154445d721742d319aec8f034c32c5c9/items/exotic.lua#L325-L355

[lethal belfry]

totally, completely new to modding... what am i doing wrong here exactly

[scarlet thorn]

is JDJ ur mod?

[lethal belfry]

yes

very placeholder stuff

[scarlet thorn]

Show where you define SMODS.Atlas (if you do at all. if you dont, thats the problem)

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

[lethal belfry]

here

also yeah i'm using an example code for right now

[scarlet thorn]

show the joker your making

[scarlet thorn]

is Jokers.png is assets/1x/Jokers.png and assets/2x/Jokers.png?

uhhuh

[lethal belfry]

yeah it's there

[brisk rose]

how do these functions operate exactly?

[scarlet thorn]

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem detailed here, but use NFS. instead of love.filesystem

[lethal belfry]

and yeah same for 2x

[scarlet thorn]

does it have the .png extention?

[lethal belfry]

yup

[scarlet thorn]

then I have no idea

[naive raptor]

is that for 1x or 2x

[scarlet thorn]

good point

[naive raptor]

the one in 2x should be 142x190

[scarlet thorn]

the file in 2x needs to be 142x190

its 95 not 92 lmao i cant read

[lethal belfry]

it is

[naive raptor]

try booting up the game again

[lethal belfry]

still getting the message

[scarlet thorn]

odd

[lethal belfry]

is it because of my dependecies maybe???

[scarlet thorn]

OH

i got it

[manic rune]

thats really old

[scarlet thorn]

you have assets/2x/Jokers/Jokers.png

remove the jokers folder in between

its just 2x/Jokers.png

[naive raptor]

oh lol

[lethal belfry]

yeah it was on an example thing that hasn't been updated ever

[naive raptor]

how did we all miss that

[scarlet thorn]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/d43316d97bc927f3de431dd84c0283d41e69761a/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/assets/2x

You sure?

[scarlet thorn]

file extentions being disabled was screwing with me

[rough furnace]

love.filesystem is fine for save files

[lethal belfry]

what do you mean remove the jokers folder?

[scarlet thorn]

is it in the range allowed? im mucking around in Mods/ and other folders in Appdata/Balatro and they werent too happy with me

[lethal belfry]

isn't that how it usually is?

[scarlet thorn]

not at all

well

[lethal belfry]

what

[rough furnace]

It's only allowed to write in AppData/Balatro

The game uses it for writing save files

[scarlet thorn]

you need to specifiy its in the folder in your assets defintiong

[rough furnace]

also DebugPlus uses it for it's config

[scarlet thorn]

you could replace "Jokers.png" with "Jokers/Jokers.png"

[lethal belfry]

ahhh okay

[scarlet thorn]

odd. The code I was using mustve just been broken when I used love.fs, and I fixed it before switching to nativefs

tho that raises the question

why does talisman use nativefs then

[lethal belfry]

eyyyy it doesn't crash yippee

[brisk rose]

does this mean I have to stringify it? Or am i doing something wronger?

[rough furnace]

yes

why would you not just rely on the game to save your changes?

[brisk rose]

I don't wanna screw up my profile and have to reload 50 times

[rough furnace]

oh wait i see

[brisk rose]

I want to preserve all the data

[scarlet thorn]

no I mean read the contents of profile.jkr and then write it to a new file

[brisk rose]

uh... that's what this is? just the unpacked version?

[scarlet thorn]

local x = NFS.read("...profile.jkr")
NFS.write("path", x)

[brisk rose]

how does one manipulate the new file in game though that way?

[scarlet thorn]

x is the string of the file

[rough furnace]

I think you can use compress_and_save("tmpprofile.jkr", G.PROFILES[1])

[scarlet thorn]

you could run love.data.decompress with deflate

and get the raw

[split cairn]

is there a way to make a joker spawn another card with the eternal sticker on it?

[scarlet thorn]

create the card and then :set_seal("eternal")

[brisk rose]

this seems like two many steps when I could just be editing the table? Kinda the whole point of doing it in game is for the game to already know how to deal with the data?

[rough furnace]

what is your end goal?

[scarlet thorn]

ive completely lost what you are trying to do

yea lmao^

smth about joker stats changing cause of a key change?

i think

[brisk rose]

So the problem I'm solving is duplicated joker entries in the table from modded jokers changing their keys over time. This means that the stats screen is all messed up and for me only currently shows vanillia objects despite some mod objects i still posess having better numbers in actuality. The solution is to give it the keys of the duplicate objects and combine the sibtitles in such a way that the key and order are kept for the current version, the the numbers for the same values are added, and any fields present on any version will now be there

I say jokers because that's goal one, but this is any objects shown on the stats screen

[rough furnace]

so why do you need to write your profile to a file at all?

[brisk rose]

i don't you're right

i can just store it as a temp variable

[rough furnace]

the profile doesn't save by default

eval G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].joker_usage.j_joker.count = 1000000
look at stats
close game
stats are reverted when you check again

[split cairn]

how would I add the eternal seal to this?
SMODS.add_card{ key = 'c_sbeven_blood_money', edition = 'e_negative'}

[brisk rose]

that's not the issue really. i already have abackup

i wanna save time and not have to reload if i make a mistake which i will many times

[scarlet thorn]

local card =  SMODS.add_card{ key = 'c_sbeven_blood_money', edition = 'e_negative'}
card:set_seal(xxxx)```

[faint yacht]

...eternal is a sticker.
SMODS.add_card({ key = "j_mod_key", stickers = { "eternal" } })

[scarlet thorn]

yknow, youre right

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me how to make a particular Joker appear in the store less often than others?

[scarlet thorn]

why am I thinking seals

[scarlet thorn]

More than likely not the correct way, but using in_pool, return true if a pseduorandom number is greater/less than another number

Usually you should use a custom rarity for that type of stuff

[carmine burrow]

set the rarity of the joker

[brisk rose]

Also, is that actually the same place in memory? The thing I was using contains exactly the same content as the the json files decoded from my profile.json directly as a lua table, idk if that points to the same place.

I ask because that could effect whetehr it woudld upfate and how desirable it is for my purposes

G.PROFILES[1] contains exactly the sata strructure I feel like I should be working with

hence why I wanted to copy it somewhere (a file was maybe silly) to work on it

or am i misreading the compressed tables in the logs and it also has the other crap in meta.jkr?

[frigid blaze]

I have set the rarity of the joker own with a value of 0.003 and wanted a particular Joker with this rarity to appear in the store even more often, can I use shop_rate?

[carmine burrow]

maybe a weird question why do you want different jokers of the same rarity to appear with different frequencies

[brisk rose]

To eleborate @frigid blaze if 3 pollable rarities isn't enough, you can wlways add more

like a 'supercommon' or 'ultrarare' or 'demicommon' or whatever

[rough furnace]

it's what is used for writing to the file. You have to call a function or two to write to disk

[split cairn]

is there a way to bypass the Eternal sticker? i want to make a joker that can destroy consumables even if they are eternal

[faint yacht]

-# Just don't check if it's Eternal.

[carmine burrow]

i'm not up to speed what's an eternal consumable

i think a lot of code with eternals is just hardcoded? don't quote me on that

[brisk rose]

I mean the thing i was using seems to be the literal bare table for the same thing?

from printing it

[rough furnace]

yes

[split cairn]

how?

[rough furnace]

a string isn't useful in game

[brisk rose]

I mean... hence why it isn't useful to me either, lol. I want it loaded in memory as a table to edit it, just in a different location not to have to reboot or reload a backup of the profole.jkr if i messs up

[faint yacht]

...quite literally, don't check for card.ability.eternal, just call :remove() or :start_dissolve().

[scarlet thorn]

Card:remove() im psure

[brisk rose]

you surely see why having it loaded as a table makes it easier to trat it like one and combine entries, right

[scarlet thorn]

me saying im pretty sure as if I havent done it loads of times

[carmine burrow]

does an eternal consumable just mean you can't sell it?

[split cairn]

yes

im trying to make it so that when a specific joker is sold, it also destroys an eternal consumable

like the ability cards in Polterworx

[rough furnace]

yeah etenral doesn't actually preveny anything

[narrow iron]

this joker should turn all played cards into glass when a 3 of a kind is played, before scoring, but for some reason the cards dont become glass until after they get removed once scoring finishes

the fliping animation still plays at the right time tho

[faint yacht]

Consumables support eternal_compat & perishable_compat too, fwiw.

[scarlet thorn]

fire music

[split cairn]

how do I make another joker do that?

[rough furnace]

just get the card and call the method

[faint yacht]

Check for consumable existence and randomly select a consumable in the same way Perkeo does it, then just slay with :remove() or :start_dissolve().

[rough furnace]

or :explode() if you're feeling especially fancy today

[scarlet thorn]

it looks right to me

[split cairn]

i got it to work now, but how do I make a specific consumable spawn at the same time that a certain joker is added to the joker slots?

[old bane]

Would the effect "allow Stone Cards to stand in for any rank in a straight or X of a Kind" be a good Rare effect on its own?

basically a mini-shortcut

[faint yacht]

SMODS.add_card it via add_to_deck of said Joker.

[scarlet thorn]

would give stone cards a use so yea

[old bane]

okay cool

now to actually like code it in

[old bane]

you probably need to apply the glass inside the first flip animation event manager tbh

[scarlet thorn]

Iwouldnt say that

^

[scarlet thorn]

the true you have in set_ability is "delay_sprites"

set it to false

unless delay-sprites doesnt do what I think

[narrow iron]

yea that didnt work

[scarlet thorn]

cause midas mask and vampire use true...

[narrow iron]

i'll try that

[scarlet thorn]

yea try zombies

[narrow iron]

also didnt work

[sage crater]

if I'm trying to give the player a consumable, what function should I be using?

[split cairn]

like this?

    if not from_debuff and next(SMODS.find_card('j_sbeven_blood')) then
       SMODS.add_card{ key = 'c_sbeven_blood_money', stickers = {"eternal"}, edition = 'e_negative' }```

[faint yacht]

Should, ye.

[daring fern]

How does one remake the old gold seal?

[split cairn]

the consumable wasn't spawned at the same time as the joker was

[faint yacht]

...did it spawn at all?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card?

[split cairn]

only after the joker's ability was triggered and not when the joker was spawned

[sage crater]

would that replace card:add_to_deck() in this code: ```lua
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.using_consumable then
G.E_Manager:add_event(Event({
func = function()

                local card = context.card

                card:set_edition('e_negative', true)
                card:add_to_deck()
                G.consumeables:emplace(card)
                return true
        }))
    end
end

[daring fern]

That would replace everything but return true in the function.

[sage crater]

oh lol

[daring fern]

Are you trying to make a negative copy of the used consumable when a consumable is used?

[sage crater]

yes

oh also I forgot it should be only when a consumable is used from a pack

that probably makes it harder, though

I'll deal with that later

[sage crater]

should I use create_ instead of add_?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = context.consumeable.config.center.key, edition = "e_negative"})

[manic rune]

card:add_to_deck is actually only used to proc add_to_deck effects afaik

[scarlet thorn]

💯

I dont mean to be a bother, but bepis or something, are either of you able to help me test a mod?

[manic rune]

mm sure :p

[narrow iron]

i'd also be fine with testing if you'd need it

[sage crater]

how do I make the first mult get recognized as the game's current mult instead of a bonus mult to the total sum?

[daring fern]

Are you trying to do emult without talisman?

[sage crater]

yes

I don't know what talisman is, but if you recommend it, I'll check it out

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sage crater]

indubitably

ok, so how do I do emult with talisman

(I just downloaded talisman)

[daring fern]

Return emult = number

[sage crater]

fantastic

and number is whatever I want the exponent to be?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sage crater]

follow up question: if this joker gets procced twice for whatever reason, will it do (x^2)^2) or x^(2+2)

messed up the code somehow and it didn't work 😔
luckily no crash, but also no debug report, so I have no idea why it's not working

[daring fern]

(x^2)^2)

[sage crater]

god damn

[daring fern]

Or (x^^2)

[daring fern]

No, use SMODS.add_card

Also you spelled consumeable wrong (right)

[sage crater]

lmao

[gilded blaze]

yay, safe check

[sage crater]

good news, I got a crash report this time lol

something's wrong with the event manager methinks

[scarlet thorn]

Show vode

[daring fern]

It needs to be full uppercase.

[sage crater]

a h

muchas gracias

it works 🎉

[brisk rose]

So, I'm getting pretty tired, and this is just shitty psudocode only trying to be lya off my head, but it should give an ideal of the rough scope of what I'm doing. It's also not done, but as i said, riired

combine = func(temp_profile, key1, otherkeys}
    combined = temp-profile.joker_usage[key1]
    additions = {}
    for v, i in ipairs(otherkeys) do
        doners[i] = temp-profile.joker_usage[v][i]
        end
        for pairs in e, r in doners do
            for pairs n, m in combined
            if is_number(combined[n]) and not n[1] then n[m]=n[m]+e[m] 
        end
             end
        for v, i in pairs (diners) do
            if not combined[v] then combined[v] = v[i] end
        end

can anyone make any sense of this at all? lol

[sage crater]

ok, now to change it so it's only for consumables from packs you open lol

[daring fern]

Maybe check if context.consumeable.area == G.pack_cards?

[brisk rose]

also, even though this definitely isn't real lua yet, it'ss till the closest to programming i've done since college over 7 years ago, lol

for anyone tuning in, this is a script to combine entries in my profile for jokers that are the same joker but had their key chanhed at some point

for the purposes of the stats screen

it's meant to be evauled directly with debugplus

[sage crater]

nah, didn't work

this is what I have currently

[brisk rose]

but it's nothing uet, i'm just doing it on notepad from meory to get the rough lay of the land and get the spine of it down

[daring fern]

Maybe check G.booster_pack and not G.booster_pack.REMOVED and SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER ?

[sage crater]

like this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sage crater]

while my game loads, is the booster_pack.REMOVED the check for if you skip the pack?

oh wait

ok good news and bad news

it's not working

but the copies are also not doing what they are supposed to do

like the copy gets consumed and then does nothing lmao

ok nvm it's just for planet cards

ok nvm I'm just wrong lol

[sage crater]

didn't work 😔

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.using_consumeable and G.booster_pack and not G.booster_pack.REMOVED and SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function(self)
                    SMODS.add_card({
                        key = context.consumeable.config.center.key,
                        edition = "e_negative"
                    })
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end
``` current code

[brisk rose]

really i should be combining the doners first, then adding all that to the first key, the current version of the joker on the file

[daring fern]

Maybe check if G.STATE == G.STATES.SMODS_BOOSTER_OPENED?

[brisk rose]

but cba to refactor the psudocode atm

[sage crater]

update: it no longer works with packs with the current if statement
if context.using_consumeable and G.booster_pack and not G.booster_pack.REMOVED and SMODS.OPENED_BOOSTER then

am I replacing anything with this, or just adding it on?

ok new update: it stopped working and for some reason, that one pluto was cracked out of its mind lol

[brisk rose]

so yeah anyone got any comments on this nonsense?

[sage crater]

I used a single pluto like 12 times and then the effect just entirely stopped working

[sage crater]

looks interesting

WAIT

[sage crater]

That worked!

[brisk rose]

it's kinda a niche thing because i doibt many other people care if modded jokers (and planned for other objects) show up accurately on their stats screen

but i don't like seeing it just full of vanillia objects when that's not accurate

[sage crater]

fire

[brisk rose]

just so y'all can actually /see/ what the hell i'm on about

it's the count value that's used for these

[scarlet thorn]

I'm 100% against changing keys in a released mod cause people's current run might get borked

Tho when you update, you shouldn't really start an old run

But it's just that typa thing

[brisk rose]

so morefluff's coupon catelog should be right behind abstract, but it doesn't even show up because the second one is the actual current entry

it shou;d actually be number 1 with both combined

and yes, my win/los ratio is abusmal, lol

[brisk rose]

though not at this point funnily

overall tho....

164 wins to 1551 losses

but a lot of that is like... debugging my modpack

which are runs i never finish, and this losses

and the cine's used must be a real new value

[lucid owl]

i spend more time debugging than i do actually playing balatro

[brisk rose]

very much same

[scarlet thorn]

I have 500 hours in balatro

And 1 achievement

[brisk rose]

I used to play a lot more

so i got a lot of those

[scarlet thorn]

And maybe 20 finished runs

[lucid owl]

speaking of debugging, i fixed the source of an issue i was annoyed at for 3 days and i don't even know how i fixed it

[brisk rose]

I binged vanillia for a month or so when i first got it

aand used to play a lot more on mods casually before the modpack, lol

[lucid owl]

i play vanilla on mobile all the time but on PC, i have like 90 hours and maybe 6 achievements because i'm always fiddling with my mod

[brisk rose]

but also i just got back into the community like a month or 2 ago

i think i'mma get back to playing again once things settle down with the comeback

[sleek cliff]

is there a way to make a mult for one card type and chips for another? this code I wrote is giving me just chips all around

[brisk rose]

i don't really enjoy vanillia balatro much anymore tbh besides as a timewaster

i'm modpilled af, lol

whenever i'm playing vaniliia i wish i had my mods

and i only play canillia on phone too

[daring fern]

You're returning chips both times.

[brisk rose]

that's not twice though?those are 2 independent cases?

am i missing something?

[scarlet spire]

you're returning chips = card.ability.extra.mult

[regal ether]

yes however the first one returns before the other gets checked

[scarlet spire]

instead of mult = card.ability.extra.mult

[regal ether]

so if the first case is true then the second case never does anything

[brisk rose]

the return doesn't run if the if is false though?

and it won't both be true'

i don't think

[sage crater]

It appears I celebrated too early (I used like 50 temperances)

[scarlet spire]

these cases will never overlap, it's checking ranks

returning twice is fine here

[brisk rose]

yeah, exactly

[scarlet spire]

you'll be in a little trouble if quantum ranks are ever figured out, but this is pretty much fine

[sleek cliff]

lmaoooo thanks, I just saw that

test time

[frigid blaze]

What are the standard values of the:
Rare
Common
Uncommon
Legendary
?

[brisk rose]

you mean the weights? or what they're called in the code?

[daring fern]

3, 1, 2, 4

[sleek cliff]

gyehehe we're working now, babyyy

[brisk rose]

but there's no real reason to use that system for most things

strings work now

[scarlet spire]

all of my jokers are 1-4 and it's still supported syntax so I keep using it for consistency, I am not going through every single one to fix them

[frigid blaze]

Weight

[brisk rose]

yeah thought that's what you meant anyway

[scarlet spire]

well, maybe i'll go fix that when I go through uprooting all my loc_txt to turn them into localization files

[brisk rose]

so the way it works is they're given a number between 0 and 1 is rolled and depending on if it's higher than a cetain value that determies the rarity

of the joker being polled

[frigid blaze]

I'm not sure if that's correct, since 1 is already a 100% chance of a lunge

[brisk rose]

they're talking about the old index sustem which is different

this has always ben used too, for polling afail

and legendaries can't be polled

[plucky terrace]

When i install Steammodded directly from github it still says that there are files missing. I am on Mac s othat could be what causes it. @ in reply please

[brisk rose]

they on;y happen if it's manually set to 1

[regal ether]

i still use the index system

¯_(ツ)_/¯

idgaf

its 0.3 seconds faster

[brisk rose]

i kinda vibe with it, but i have other rarities in my game so it's weird to not think of all of them as strings

haven't modded any of my own yet

[scarlet spire]

oh yeah I can see using it when you have custom rarities

[sleek cliff]

I'll probably set my rarities later, I don't need to set them in shops at the moment

[scarlet spire]

how to count: 1. 2. 3. epic. 4. exotic.

[sleek cliff]

I also need to figure out how to do secondary types, cause I need to seaprate in Classic, Revival, Hero, and Villain

I'm not going to do Alien and Human cause that'll get really annoying

[brisk rose]

this is what they're taling about @daring fern

[brisk rose]

@frigid blaze

[frigid blaze]

I get it, I'm interested in the standard weight of each rarity.

[brisk rose]

this is comprable to the number you can set on your own rarities as rate/weight

[brisk rose]

the image right above you lists them

[brisk rose]

i don't quite get the way the page on rarities in layed out

[sleek cliff]

I just gotta get a border and those fuck ass lines out of there

[slow ocean]

this is such an intimidating image

[brisk rose]

the main fuck ass lines i see is yoru crt shader's scanlines :P

[scarlet thorn]

Pretty sure those lines are a bug not related to your mod

[sleek cliff]

I like the CRT :)

[scarlet thorn]

I've seen them before on other jokers with no border

[sleek cliff]

ohhh

yeah, the Jokers are the correct sizes in the code and separated, but they just kinda have those things there

[frigid blaze]

Thanks, I'll think of something😀

[sage crater]

and those fuck ass lines out of there
separate the sprites by 1 pixel. That's helped me before

[sleek cliff]

they already are

[sage crater]

Pranked. Turns out it did not, in fact, worked 😔
It gives you copies of cards that are already in your consumable slots if you have a booster pack open, and haven't selected a card yet

any way to fix this?

I assume I need to check if the context.card's area is not already in your consumable slots

[sage crater]

and the dims are 71x95?

[daring fern]

There is this card from ortalab that does a similar thing but I don't think it is working.

[sage crater]

ah

that gives me a bit of resolve

[sleek cliff]

yeagh,

[daring fern]

I think the problem is that the target was not found.

[daring fern]

You could probably copy that patch but choose somewhere that exists.

[sage crater]

mm that's unfortunate then. Idk why it's giving you the extra pixels.
If the software you're using has a grid system, maybe turn that on with a 71x95 grid view and see if any are overstepping their area?
Alternatively, make sure all sprites have at least 1 pixel space on all sides. That should probably help too.

[dawn portal]

HOW DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT @unkempt thicket
I'm having a similar issue
I have

discovered = false,
no_collection = true,
in_pool = false,
yes_pool_flag = 'uncompletable_condition'```
All set, but I keep finding the joker in the shop, is there something I'm missing?

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self)
    return false
end

[dawn portal]

oh my god

thank you

[spark pumice]

How do I get it to delete only the non-scoring cards? I tried context.cardarea ~= G.play but that also deleted the cards in hand

[daring fern]

context.cardarea == "unscored"

[spark pumice]

Ohh I see ty

[shut crater]

The deck fixing goes crazy

Also goated reference

[spark pumice]

I low key made it a little too op, but it should be fine if I just don’t think about it

Also ty

[scarlet thorn]

You can make it rarer than other jokers with the pools options

As far as I know

[spark pumice]

Oh actually?

[daring fern]

How does one make a joker that copies all jokers?

[scarlet thorn]

copy_card

[daring fern]

No, I mean their abilities.

[spark pumice]

Oh like blueprint?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[scarlet thorn]

There's an smods.blueprint function

Somewhere

Does exactly that

But

There's some limitations

[daring fern]

Yes, but how do I copy all joker's abilities?

[scarlet thorn]

You could try retriggers

[scarlet thorn]

You would have to Calc all jokers, combine their returns into 1 table, and return it. I haven't found a better way

A joker in my main mod is blueprint but left and right

And I've gone through hell making it work

Although smods 0500 might make it easier

There was something in the changelog I saw

[sage crater]

just a bit (you can remove 16 cards from your deck assuming you have no -hands modifiers. Basically a free immolate but you choose what to remove lol)

[scarlet thorn]

You would end up with 5 cards max if you used that joker....

Or sorry

Wait no yea 5

No.

It's highcard

[spark pumice]

1 card

[scarlet thorn]

Non scoring as in not held in hand yea?

[sage crater]

non-scoring as in played and weren't the high card

[scarlet thorn]

Yea

Okay I was just not reading right. 3am and shi

[sage crater]

right there with ya lol

[spark pumice]

Lol

But yeah, I thought it'd be mostly alright since it has like near zero practical scaling, not really sure how to balance it in a way that still feels satisfying though

[sage crater]

usable once per round would be a good start methinks

[spark pumice]

Ahhh yeah

How do I keep track of that though?

[sage crater]

you could also do smthn like "playing a pair destroys all non-scoring cards. Chips from destroyed cards are split between the scored cards" or smthn

[sage crater]

local hasActivated = false
if [the check you need for the joker] and not hasActivated
  [all your code here]
  ...
  hasActivated = true
end

this is the first thing that comes to mind. There's probably a built in check, but I don't know it

oh, and then also you need a func that runs at the end of a round to set hasActivated = false again

[spark pumice]

Ahh yeah ok

Ty! I'll figure something out 👍

[daring heron]

how do i make lovers convert 3 cards instead of 1?

tried this but it didn't work
