yeah...i guess i'll try moving it levels above, but i just thought it may be possible to just define it as a "floating" node, idk

#

the "issue" is the next level above is all the buttons, so run info, options, ...

raven forge
#

looking at the code, self.children.alert is set to a box. If you're doing dynamic stuff, you just need to find the right node

willow plinth
#

this is just one level up

raven forge
#

alright ignore that completely!

#

don't just stick the box in; it seems like alerts are actually special cased, as I said, self.children.alert is set in the game's code

#

yeah uh I may appear to know things but I am also lost. sorry

willow plinth
#

yeah yeah i looked at that whole children.alert thing already, but can't really grasp it...does that mean i can attach children={alert=SOMETHING} to my run info button

#

all good, thanks anyway

brisk rose
#

it's never quite as easy as it seems

#

you're in luck, I'm the only one who can really help. I will help

willow plinth
#

i lost an afternoon to self building lovely

raven forge
#

I just tried to fix lovely...

#

sigh

scarlet thorn
sleek cliff
#

how should I change this to make this sense if a planet card is used

image.png
raven forge
brisk rose
raven forge
#

have you already done the above (and checked if the directory named in the error actually has stuff in it)

brisk rose
#

I need to have done git clone --recursive

#

doi

#

I didn't check for submodules

brisk rose
#

lol

#

after a git submodule update --recursive --init i get a bit further

raven forge
#

could you post the entire error?

#

lots of people have been having issues. especially on linux

brisk rose
cunning barn
#

ok im almost finished with burninated cards. i just need to figure out how to call the last played hand specifically- as in, the most recent one you played
i know level up is just level_up_hand but i dunno how to call it to specifically be the hand you most recently played without it being a hand that is actively being played in the scoring step

raven forge
brisk rose
#

tbh... i should just try to get a newer ubuntu wsl, instead of whatever this shit was on the microsoft store

#

this thing kinds sucks

brisk rose
willow plinth
raven forge
#

is that run info button in the base game? the scaling math is clearly wrong

willow plinth
#

yeah that's vanilla except for the skill tree button

raven forge
#

yeah it's scaled inconsistently. ui in balatro not only is eye-wateringly verbose, it's also bugged

willow plinth
#

yeah lol

#

the solution was surprisingly simple, i just looked at the wrong places for inspiration

# 
    if G.HUD then 
        if not G.run_info_alert then
            G.run_info_alert = UIBox{definition = create_UIBox_card_alert(), config = {align="tri", offset = {x = 0.05, y = -0.05}, major = G.HUD:get_UIE_by_ID('run_info_button')}}
            G.run_info_alert.states.collide.can = false
        end
    end

this in the main game update loop

#

which is a simplified variant of how the collection button does it

raven forge
#

makes sense

willow plinth
#

in balatro universe yes

#

in my world it doesn't make sense AT ALL to add a small info icon to a button through a global event instead of right there in the component lmao

but then again, UI_definitions.lua is 7k lines long 💀

scarlet thorn
#

mod profiles' is 1k lines

raven forge
scarlet thorn
willow plinth
#

i think thunk uses a bundler tho...i can't imagine he actually uses these files as is

scarlet thorn
#

I think its mainly because UI nodes tank up a bunch of space

image.png
willow plinth
#

yeah it's just so fucking verbose

raven forge
#

wait sorry I was thinking of ui.lua

scarlet thorn
raven forge
#

which is a whole different thing

scarlet thorn
#

theres comments

willow plinth
#

n=G.UIT.<letter> a million times instead of just the letter

scarlet thorn
#

and all variables have the same names as they did

scarlet thorn
#

err well

#

G.UIT is so its not polluting the global variables that much

#

but it should just be a number

raven forge
#

UI verbosity is because it's in pure Lua... all the tables are manually defined. as if you wrote html defining the dimensions of every box

scarlet thorn
willow plinth
brisk rose
#

hmm... it seems to be fozen (trying to upgrade ubuntu in wsl to 25.04)

image.png
scarlet thorn
raven forge
#

what could help is some higher level functions. like components in html

hasty mist
#

trying to make this work, was working on it yesterday with some help but i dont understand much

image.png
willow plinth
scarlet thorn
#

balatro

image.png
willow plinth
#

all this shit in ui_definitions could be abstracted away in to uibox or node or whatever

#

but whatever, rule 3 i guess...

brisk rose
#

took a bit, lol

hasty mist
#

but ive done it wrong somehow

brisk rose
scarlet thorn
#

odd rule but doesnt fit here

brisk rose
#

lol

scarlet thorn
#

its kinda like

#

impossible to not debug vanilla code

willow plinth
#

yeah idk i felt like my ramblings border on debugging source code but whatever

hasty mist
#

what does rule 3 even mean? we can't fix bugs in vanilla?

scarlet thorn
#

unless they mean fully unaltered no code of our own running

brisk rose
#

Rule 3 means like... don't use a ram viewer? but like... that's done all the time too

#

so yeah it's not a big thing

willow plinth
#

using a ram viewer wouldn't be source code debugging tho, right?

brisk rose
#

oh yeah

#

I meant like... the source code quivilant

#

state viewer

#

or smth

#

which people use debugplus as all the time

#

which it is needed for

raven forge
#

the rules are actually outdated, modding on non pc is alive now

brisk rose
#

which is the rule

#

the reason is thunk doesn't want tim apple to kill him

#

or smth

scarlet thorn
#

rule 3 is blatantly disregarded by thunk

#

lmao

brisk rose
#

channel rather

#

it doesn't jump for me

scarlet thorn
#

Disabled lua compilation, so that we can get the source and promotes the debug features

image.png
brisk rose
#

lol

scarlet thorn
#

debug plus is based off of the og debug mod

brisk rose
willow plinth
#

i'd like to ping a mod to clarify that rule but discord people always cry about pings :(

scarlet thorn
#

whatever that is

brisk rose
#

and adding to it

scarlet thorn
brisk rose
#

debugplus still uses canillia balatro's debigmode

scarlet thorn
#

yea

hasty mist
#

i always like pings

scarlet thorn
brisk rose
brisk rose
#

canillia :P

willow plinth
#

this discord needs a meta channel

#

i'd ask questions every day

#

especially about gifs

scarlet thorn
scarlet thorn
willow plinth
brisk rose
#

i missed that one

scarlet thorn
#

I feel like its truly impossible to not "debug" vanilla code, but Im pretty sure we're just either misinterpreting it, or thunk described it too vaguely

hasty mist
#

i always thought it meant you werent allowed to fix vanilla bugs which makes no sense

raven forge
#

I thought it was generically about security

scarlet thorn
#

SMODs would be shut down no?

brisk rose
#

I mean... security wise out modding tools have full access to the user's account

#

lol

willow plinth
#

i mean i get the rule is about not actively sharing loads and loads of source code

raven forge
#

as in, the intent of the entire rule list. mostly about not encouraging piracy?

willow plinth
brisk rose
#

though i don't feel bad sending logs

vale glen
#

Axy sees it more like ... If someone wrote some code, then an army of people showed up to say the code could be done better if it was done in X or Y way. It'd be a bit draining.

brisk rose
#

dumps i mean

#

just not all of them at once

#

lol

#

because you can run that shit with love i'm p sure

scarlet thorn
willow plinth
scarlet thorn
#

not really 'debugging' though

scarlet thorn
vale glen
willow plinth
#

fair

scarlet thorn
willow plinth
#

basically i wanna know to what extent i can shit on thunk's code in here 🤡

brisk rose
#

even though it's functionallky the same

#

as what you can do with other tools

vale glen
#

A debugger to step through the code would be convenient, especially something that could list out each table in like, a variable inspector

#

Axy has been stuck trying to work with the shop for a couple days now, and the cardarea code keeps complaining. ><;

scarlet thorn
vale glen
#

Not at PC atm, so can't pull up the code

willow plinth
raven forge
#

go ahead and run game from source, that's ok I think

brisk rose
#

But its stupid

willow plinth
cunning barn
#

do any jokers or enhancements or anything out there do anything with last played hand? still trying to get my burninated enhancement up and running

brisk rose
scarlet thorn
willow plinth
#

i think technically it's already illegal (like by law, not discord channel rules) unzipping the game lol

#

but who cares

scarlet thorn
#

How?

cunning barn
vale glen
# scarlet thorn whats the problem

To give a description of the problem, the client wants a joker to turn all cards in the shop to either negative jokers or polychrome 2s, when a condition happens. Axy has the condition done, but when Axy tries to load a cardarea containing polychrome 2s with a random suit into the G.shop_joker cardarea, then add shop_ui using the associated function, the game complains about various values being missing either from Cardarea's config or the card's config. The create_card_for_shop function might help, since Axy was looking at it in the context of rerolls, but Axy hasn't fully understood it yet.

scarlet thorn
#

some else might be able to help, its 1 am and ive been looking at code for 12 hours

#

having a hard time reading that

vale glen
#

Nod nod

hasty mist
cunning barn
#

yeah for me its like midnight and i really just wanna get burninated enhancement finished. leveling up stuff in smods documentation is only documented for currently played hands

shut crater
#

according to the Source

red flower
#

i think last_played_hand gets updated with the current hand anyway?

cunning barn
#

but see the problem is that would be calling the "current" hand. you wouldn't be playing a hand if you were discarding

#

i dont even know where i'd slot G.GAME.last_hand_played into level_up_hand
apologies if this is all really obvious stuff im missing i am NOT usually a codewriting person

willow plinth
# scarlet thorn How?

obviously depends on where you live, look up Sega v. Accolade for example...it's a grey area at least, and i guess good enough lawyers could always argue for how the intended distribution of the game already doesn't allow for someone to even disassemble it, not even just to "look at it"

not that this will happen here, just wanted to mention it as a fun fact

shut crater
raven forge
#

also, could you say what you're trying to do?

scarlet thorn
cunning barn
#

here's the code as i have it now

calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        if context.discard then
            return {
                {level_up = true, level_up_hand = G.GAME.last_hand_played},
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end```
raven forge
#

oh right, context.discard might behave a bit weird

cunning barn
#

why did i inadvertently choose the most difficult thing to try and do here

hasty mist
#

uhh @cunning barn idk if itll work but

#

i think context.discard activates per card discarded

#

try pre_discard i think

cunning barn
#

context.pre_discard, you mean?

hasty mist
#

yeah

#

unless im misremembering what its callrd

cunning barn
#

im just going ahead with the code i posted with pre_discard instead of discard i will post any crash logs

shut crater
cunning barn
#

putting in pre_discard makes the card literally do nothing at all

#

like, it used to remove itself with discard but now it doesn't even do that

hasty mist
#

ah

#

prob revert back to context.discard then

cunning barn
#

it is going to be a celebration when i get this to work

#

context.discard destroys every discarded card and it still doesn't level anything up. not even a crash, just absolutely nothing

shut crater
brisk rose
#

but that's not the same as being a legal law violation

cunning barn
#

im genuinely not sure what i'm doing wrong here. i'd expect at LEAST a crash, SOMETHING on the end of the attempted level up but it literally doesn't change even a single value

hasty mist
#

i wish I could help, coding is hard

shut crater
# cunning barn here's the code as i have it now ```lua calculate = function(self, card, contex... 
local text,disp_text = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.GAME.last_hand_played)
card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize(text, 'poker_hands'),chips = G.GAME.hands[text].chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[text].mult, level=G.GAME.hands[text].level})
level_up_hand(context.blueprint_card or card, text, nil, 1)
update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''})
cunning barn
#

no offense meant but i can't make heads or tails of what this is even supposed to represent

#

i think i'm in too deep

shut crater
#

it should be the whole thing

cunning barn
#

whole thing for what?

shut crater
#

like if you put that in your context.discard check it should just upgrade the last played hand

cunning barn
#

were there meant to be commas in there?

hasty mist
#

goddamn that looks complicated

shut crater
#

no, that's not a return

cunning barn
#

also im getting a bunch of errors about keywords not being able to be used as names and missing symbols

shut crater
#

they're warnings, and it's because you haven't added the lovely/dump to your vscode workspace (which you should do)

cunning barn
#

what the heck is the lovely dump

#

also no they're not warnings they're full errors

raven forge
#

lovely/dump in your Mods folder contains the patched versions of all files

shut crater
#

mmm hand on

cunning barn
#

all of these are the proper red x errors, not the yellow ! ones

image.png
brisk rose
shut crater
raven forge
#

I don't recommend trying to manually level up unless you want to suffer

cunning barn
#

all of this just to be told it's not recommended

#

i might just give up on the enhancement dream im genuinely getting a migarine

raven forge
#

no I mean, updating hand text manually

#

I'd do it as a last resort

cunning barn
# 
    calculate = function(self, card, context, effect)
        if context.discard then
            return {
                local text,disp_text = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.GAME.last_hand_played)
card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')})
update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3}, {handname=localize(text, 'poker_hands'),chips = G.GAME.hands[text].chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[text].mult, level=G.GAME.hands[text].level})
level_up_hand(context.blueprint_card or self, text, nil, 1)
update_hand_text({sound = 'button', volume = 0.7, pitch = 1.1, delay = 0}, {mult = 0, chips = 0, handname = '', level = ''}),
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end
}```


i just pasted this in the return directly as you said i should
raven forge
#

I do think if you just copy Burnt Joker mostly, it'll work. I just have an interest in making sure smods isn't broken

shut crater
#

just in the context check

cunning barn
#

also i have to figure out how to make it Not destroy every single discarded card

shut crater
#

which cards is it supposed to remove?

cunning barn
#

just the enhanced ones

shut crater
#

oh that should be not so bad

#

but just start with the level up effect rn

brisk rose
#

@willow plinth I wanna continue what i was saying. Software EULA's are not even nessaracarily considered legally binding contracts, but even if they are, contract law isn't criminal law. You can be sued for breach of contract if there's standing, but that involved actual damages of some sort. The worst you can get besides that is revcation of service

cunning barn
#

i might just not add any enhancements this is just genuinely not fun to troubleshoot

red flower
shut crater
#

funny enough I just got the exact same crash but for a different thing

red flower
cunning barn
#

what am i supposed to do about ipairs

#

i dont know how to write tables

hollow sphinx
#

i think im interupting here, but when i have enough oops all 6s to guarantee a duplication in the first if statement, the game crashes because I assume the cards being spawned also spawn copies of themselves in an infinite loop.

shut crater
brisk rose
cunning barn
#

because if i do im just quitting here

shut crater
#

well it wasn't crashing before was it

cunning barn
#

it was not crashing before

shut crater
#

ok so something you added recently is causing the crash

raven forge
cunning barn
raven forge
#

see I was suspicious. sorry

brisk rose

i'll just post the full code

#

the issue is with the equality check accidentally returning true if nil == nil

#

probably

brisk rose
cunning barn
#

well none of that is mine, i just pasted in what chaseoqueso put in

shut crater
raven forge
#

you may want to give me about 5-10 minutes

#

to fix

shut crater
#

in the code I sent

cunning barn
#

context.blueprint_card or card?

shut crater
#

yep, in both places

brisk rose
#

which is exaclty what the error says

shut crater
brisk rose
#

it should be G.GAME.hande[handname].chips

#

I'm pretty sure

cunning barn
#

ok honestly im genuinely starting to weigh if adding this is worth it

brisk rose
#

i mgith be mistaken

#

idk

shut crater
cunning barn
#

well im the opposite i am just totally checked out. it is almost 1AM, im thinking the effect isnt even that good to begin with, and trying to read through the crash logs is like hieroglyphics to me

brisk rose
brisk rose
#

if the table uses the name and not the key

red flower
brisk rose
#

whcih knowing thunk it does

willow plinth
#

@brisk rose can you share the copy pasta again?

cunning barn
#

yeah but i want to get this in because i have a TON of cards that rely on burninated edition
and like i already did the art

brisk rose
willow plinth
#

yes

shut crater
brisk rose
willow plinth
#

sorry i just needed it

#

frustrated cuz my work vpn isn't working

cunning barn
#

i would do hole-riddled but that's +1 mult every two retriggers alongside the retriggers and DEAR GOD i do not want to imagine how hard that would be to try and check for if it's this much of a headache just to level up a hand on discard

raven forge
cunning barn
#

a headache for me, to be clear. not insulting the mod

#

because i am not tech savvy at all

#

i give up im just gonna change the effect

#

thanks for the help everyone sorry it didnt go anywhere

raven forge
#

uh, the problem is smods, confirmed. your first code should have worked

#

I just need time to fix the issue

#

I think everyone has drowned me out. I literally am working on smods

cunning barn
#

...

willow plinth
cunning barn
#

i need to go lie down.

willow plinth
#

oh okay sorry

brisk rose
cunning barn
#

ugh im gonna try hole riddled
it's probably easy to get a retrigger going on a scored card but is there a way to do something every 2 retriggers specifically

raven forge
#

triggering stuff on retriggers is not a very supported thing

cunning barn
#

why is every single thing i want to try so hard

#

never mind im just not doing enhancements at all

#

honestly might not even do the mod anymore. coding seemed fun at first but it's clear i know nothing about the innards of this kind of thing and it deeply aggravates me to try and do it

willow plinth
cunning barn
#

is just "retrigger card 2 times" too weak of an enhancement

#

because i can just shorten it down to that

willow plinth
#

and for a goooood break i recommend playing a bunch of balatro

brisk rose
#

I see a lot of brakets being closes that never got opened

raven forge
cunning barn
#

yeah ive just given up on adding burninated entirely until ej pushes the update (hopefully soon)

raven forge
#

sorry. let's calm down

brisk rose
cunning barn
brisk rose
cunning barn
#

honestly yeah im just gonna dip out of modding probably. like. it was fun when the effects were super simple but i am VERY easily aggravated when something doesn't work quickly, and this process has made me want to throw something the whole way through, i am not cut out to code

#

not a knock against anyone here for trying to help, but this whole thing is just. really stressful for me

brisk rose
brisk rose
raven forge
#

maybe you can get a programmer to help

cunning barn
#

multiple people who know programming, including yourself, have been helping, and it has not changed my aggravation
i am just like a very easily-provoked person who's going into something that requires lots of patience and trial and error. which are not my favorite things

(change the key in SMODS.has_enhancement to your mod's key)

cunning barn
#

oh hey thanks much

shut crater
#

today I got to learn how discards and enhancements work

#

and help someone on the verge of giving up on modding, which would be very sad indeed

cunning barn
#

well the problem is still "if i discard more than one card, ALL of the cards get destroyed

#

but this level up solution works

#

i just need to try and get something working for the latter

shut crater
#

huh, I thought I checked for that

#

context.other_card, not card

#

works for me now

cunning barn
#

testing it on my end, identical code to yours, just doesn't do anything

shut crater
#

did you replace m_pow_burninated with m_yourmodprefix_burninated

cunning barn
#

i just replaced it with only "burninated" because thats the key name for mine

regal ether
#

did that work lol

shut crater
#

you have to put the prefixes

regal ether
#

the prefixes tend to be necessary iirc

shut crater
#

SMODS adds them automatically when it goes through all your files and load them

#

to try to prevent mods from having duplicate keys for things

cunning barn
#

ok so like i get the prefix but what does the m do

shut crater
#

m_ is for enhancements

#

e_ is editions, j_ is jokers, c_ is consumables, etc

cunning barn
#

ok, i did all that, and FINALLY, it properly works. thank you so much for your help i would never have been able to figure any of this out

another taski pfp made happy, the world is in balance :P

now granted, i am suddenly not sure if this represents the burnination thing very well
but i can't back out now because we spent all this time getting it to work

shut crater
#

LOL it's called playtesting, sometimes it be like that

#

I like that it blends the Trogdor theme with the precedent of levelling up set by Burnt Joker

#

personally

cunning barn
#

oh no wait the burnt joker levelling that works thematically

#

and burning being like the only thing you do as trogdor besides stomp around it makes sense that the burnt effect would target hand

#

do i sense strong bad balatro mod

or is this a component of a larger homestar mod

larger homestar mod yeah

it has a ton of stuff i posted my ideas doc in a thread

(Sorry to interrupt)

What's the correct scoring context to use if I want to upgrade a joker based on the final hand score? Neither context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.play or context.after and context.cardarea == G.play seem to be triggering. I'm also not entirely clear where to access the hand score (is it on G.play?). This is what I have:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if G.play.chips > G.GAME.round_scores['hand'].amt then
                card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
        
    end

just did

#

gonna try and rework the hole-riddled effect (synergizes with gun-related jokers like nunchuck gun, gunhaver, later on i wanna have bubs with the shotgun from the sbemail virus)
it was initially
"Hole-Riddled Card
Retriggers twice. Gains +1 mult for every two retriggers."
but i have been told that doing stuff based on retrigger amount isnt well-supported in smods and i'm wondering what i could do to make the effect still feel like it's being shot repeatedly and getting a benefit from it

#

to be fair though two guaranteed retriggers is already pretty powerful

shut crater
#

retriggers 4 times and then is removed? lol

#

number of retriggers is flexible but I like the idea that it just goes absolutely wild and then dies

cunning barn
#

well my problem is i have jokers that synergize with having a bunch of hole-riddleds. and i don't want to have another card that destroys itself

shut crater
#

valid

#

so a card retriggering itself twice and then getting a benefit seems like it would not be hard to code because those both use the same condition

#

it's not like you're trying to count all of the retriggers that happen to it, right?

cunning barn
#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh i. i kinda wanted it to get +1 mult from ANY two retriggers...

#

i'll just scale it down to 2 retriggers then gains +1 mult

shut crater
#

meh I could help you make it the way you want but starting this way is easier for now

cunning barn
#

itd prolly be super difficult to get it the way i wanted at first yeah

raven forge
#

hm. doing things on retrigger might be much more feasible than trying to count retriggers/"triggering off retriggers"

#

as you can just do something each time the card is calculated

cunning barn
#

i mean like. +1 mult per retrigger scales at double the rate at what i wanted im worried thatd be too much

#

eh. probably fine

shut crater
#

I mean you can definitely just increase a variable on the card every time the card is scored and once that variable reaches the desired value (2 in this case) set it back to 0 and trigger your effect

#

that method would include the initial scoring of the card, not just the retriggers

#

but I figured it would be best to start with a simplified version of the effect

cunning barn
#

yeah ive already had enough grief with burninated

shut crater
#

that was my intuition lol

cunning barn
#

so like. could i just copy code from something like seltzer to make sure it retriggers. i tried to check to see how echo crads from cryptid do it but annoyingly they have everything in the files BUT how they actually coded that specific effect

shut crater
cunning barn
#

...and now i have to sprite bullet holes

shut crater
#

yeah I have decided that art is objectively the worst part of modding

ill probably do both. i dont wanna run nil checks when unnecessary

cunning barn
#

i did return {repetitions = 2} on hole-riddled card but it didn't do anything. i'm assuming i have to have some extra code in there

thorn flame

how do i make it so consumables dont spawn outside their packs

shut crater
shut crater

this is what I'm referencing btw

#

oh you probably need context.repetition if you didn't do that part

cunning barn
#

i did not, in fact, do that part

peak void
cunning barn
#

is sit context.cardarea instead of context.main_scoring?

peak void
#

i dont think theres any instance of in-hand effects checking the size of the played hand in vanilla so it never comes up

shut crater
#

the cardarea check is to make the effect happen when played rather than when held in hand

I want to learn Lua to make a mod. The mod? Play balatro with Only The WASD and surrounding keys. Would this be possible? Like, are the built in tools for selecting cards and buying them there?

#

(I'm somewhat disabled in my right hand, so I'd Like to be less dependent on my mouse)

cunning barn
#

alright so that makes sense
but my question is, im really tired so this is prolly a really obvious thing but is there a variable to display an "again" message that's custom? i want it to say "BANG" or "BLAM" or something instead

manic rune

its definitely possible, knowing Handy

i would suggest learning Lua first to understand how the language works (its really straightforward, dont worry)

ok i think im almsot there but how do i make the +mult trigger AFTER the retriggers? no matter where i put it i'm getting syntax errors in visual

the piece of code i'm trying to use is
" card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain"
i've defined "mult_gain" as 1 idk what the problem is that it consistently gives seemingly completely random syntax errors

how do you get mult to show up on a playing card

# cunning barn like do playing cards not have mult defined?

they do, you have to do card.ability.perma_mult apparently.

context.other_card.ability.perma_mult = context.other_card.ability.perma_mult or 0
context.other_card.ability.perma_mult = context.other_card.ability.perma_mult + card.ability.extra.mult

but don't use context.other_card I think since this isn't a joker effect

your loc_vars function only returns 3 values, but your loc_txt is looking for a #4#

well yeah because i had to loop it over to 2 and 3 because 1 is just 0 for some reason?
idk h ow to define the variable that makes the addition work im trying to figure out how it works on steel joker but it's not clicking for me

shut crater
#

your config.extra only has xmult_per and thresh in it right now, but in your ability and loc_vars you reference things like card.ability.extra.Xmult and card.ability.h_size, which don't have values

cunning barn

i mean i thought that hand size had a value already, does smods not have a current hand size variable

shut crater
#

there is a way to get hand size but it's not in the card's ability, it's somewhere in G

#

idk off the top of my head

#

the mult issue is because you didn't define it though

willow plinth
cunning barn
shut crater
#

I'm not even talking about the math rn, I'm just talking about getting your description correct

brisk rose

and for your description (and eventually ability) to work, you need to define Xmult in your config and return it in your loc_vars

ok but i can't do anything with the xmult right now since it requires math with the variables i already have

Or 1

ok the description works now i need to make the effect work

#

i just realized i left in "G.hand.config.card_limit < card.ability.extra.thresh" which makes it so that the card limit needs to be SMALLER than the threshold

brisk rose
#

On what you have?

cunning barn
#

i did not

#

i dont even know what that type variable key a_xmult garble is

brisk rose
cunning barn
#

but i have end after each return???

#

every single time i think i know something about the coding i'm mincorrect

brisk rose
cunning barn
#

no offense but like. all this coding jargon is just turning into mush and oozing out of my ears i am retaining like none of this

brisk rose
#

And it has to come all at one time. It returns and it's done

cunning barn
#

ok so then what am i supposed to do

#

btw i got the hand size-mult converstion from hollow from morefluff where all the returns were intact. that works. i am genuinely unsure why mine would not

#

you know what it's 4AM forget it. i shouldn't have been coding so late it just makes me mad

#

i'll come back to this tomorrow

#

if someone can figure out how to format this properly, dm me and i'll credit you in the mod
in general if you helped with the coding lmk i will put you in the credits as well

Also you have to fix that one error again

#

back!

cunning barn
#

well for some reason #1# is just randomly defined as 0

#

like if i put in #1# it just shows up as 0 and everything else is offset by 1

#

i think i just have some kind of evil spirit possessing this joker specifically. what is going on with it i have NO clue

long sun
#

right, so booting still isn't working

daring fern
long sun
#

this is when i added the missing version file

#

it's doing that with both only those two, and also all my mods

daring fern
long sun
#

not immediately, no

#

okay so, observation

#

removing the version file allows the game to boot

cunning barn
#

i still cannot find the value that makes the xmult accurate and now with +1 hand size it gives x1.7 mult????

#

i think i might just have to tear this one down and write it from scratch

mm, lemme try removing the lovely folder

ah

alright so just ping me if you find a way to patch this joker it is just Not working. like every part of it is malfunctioning in some unique way

card.ability.h_size is undefined

i know but i can't define it. i can't define a variable with anotehr variable

yes you can :)

you can define it in config

daring fern

ayup

cunning barn
#

but that's just a flat 1

long sun
#

what did you want to do with this line?
Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult

cunning barn
#

i don't even know at this point this joker might just be on the chopping block

long sun
#

right

cunning barn
#

even after changing all this stuff, the joker STILL gives x1.7 mult with +1 handsize

#

yeah honestly idk if i even wanna make this anymore. maybe its just the medication mixed with sleep deprivation talking but i have just steadily gotten less and less enjoyment from creating all this stuff. maybe there's a reason i'm just the concepts person

manic rune
#

is it possible to have a cardarea that allows you to drag cards anywhere?

🤔

onyx sonnet
cunning barn
#

no im not even gonna bother ive been explaining joker concepts and debugging and sending down code all night

#

i feel like im working at a 9 to 5 at this rate

long sun
#

and on the contrary, my Balatro not working is giving me increasing joy :))) like how does it still not boot!

cunning barn
long sun
#

but, currently, it's giving X0.1 per 1 hand size, + 8

#

which, with 1 extra hand size, would be 9 + 8 = 17, 17 * 0.1 = X1.7 Mult

cunning barn
#

oh well that makes sense actually

long sun
#

jdfgndfngdfngjdfngdfn okay what is happening to my balatro

daring fern
long sun
#

you mean and 1

cunning barn
#

i genuinely cannot understand a single part of what you just typed i think im at the point where i NEED to go to bed

surely and 0 would cause X0 Mult :)

daring fern

yes?

the +1 applies to the expression after the or, though

disabling real-time protection doesn't fix the issue

how can i track when an enhancement i made's effect goes off?

manic rune
#

SMODS.calculate_context({ your_own_context_here = true })

then in other objects' calculate, just do

if context.your_own_context_here then

and it should work, if thats what you meant

midnight coyote
#

oh alright, so in the effect of my actual card i can make SMODS.calculate_context({unstable_proc = true})

then in the card i need it for i can go if context.unstable_proc then

yeah

okay awesome,didnt know that

ive got 15 jokers so far

#

#

feels nice to have a full page of jokers that ive coded all on my own

desert ore
#

should I ask for help here or fan art channel if I were to ask about my card art?

scarlet thorn
desert ore
#

okok, I'm just wondering if anybody's got any specific advice with how to get basic shapes down on more complex objects, because the first original art I made was a calculator with very basic shapes, and I think I got it looking good. But a lot of my ideas (jimbos in unique stances, animals, etc.) have a lot more complex shapes and I don't even really know how to even get to a starting point. I'm using a reference in aesprite that I'm even tracing over a bit, I just don't know how to get the basic profile down pat

#

all of this is with the context of it fitting in with vanilla jokers

quartz ravine
#

My first piece of advice is this. Make sure you target the right size! Everyone does their art in a 75 x 96 (I think off the top of my head) size, which is the default 1x size. Then use the resize.py script to double it without adding noise.

I did all of my art first at 2x size!

#

You can resize up but not down without it looking ugly @desert ore

Second peice of advice is use the balatro palette.

How to block out the silhouettes ig?

quartz ravine
#

Oh wow I did something dumb!

You cannot add another joker to the info_queue for a joker. I tried and the game resources spiked and crashed with a stack Overflow

G.P_CENTERS.j_Fox_akuma.loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "artistcredit", set = "Other", vars = { "Akravator" } }
     info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_Fox_shinAKuma
        
        local hand_name = "Fox_shungokusatsu"
        local retrigger = G.GAME.hands[hand_name].level or 1
        return { vars = { retrigger } } -- Fix for missing values
    end

Oh I had a circular reference. This Joker (shinAKuma) also had an info reference to another joker.

My wife did it for me!

long sun
#

is there a simple method of marking a consumable as being takeable, from packs?

#

similar to Cryptid's Code Cards?

#

i have the relevant code open, but it's a lot

#

and i already have a SELECT button, instead of USE

quartz ravine
#

If it's within a Booster, you can add draw_hand if you want the cards to go into your hand (like standard playing cards)

If you add select_card = consumables then the card chosen gets sent here

#

that would be defining it for all of the cards within a pack

long sun
#

ooh there is, perfect! :D

#

will give that a go, thank you!!

quartz ravine
long sun
#

so, add this to all the relevant Booster packs, then?

#

ah great, thanks ^^

#

hmm, just thinking

#

there's a mod that has movie tickets in it, and one spawns boosters containing all kinds of cards

#

like, Jokers, Planets, Spectrals, etc.

#

would i have to patch that, so they can be pulled from those?

is that a retexture of jimbo or your own joker

glad osprey
#

that is just jimbo maybe give it a slightly different amount unless it being 4 mult specifically is very important to the reference

#

if you deem so

#

that sounded more like a command then a suggestion
