[glad osprey]

yea you can

[manic rune]

🤔

[long sun]

oh ya, was wondering, what is this for?

[next elk]

tbh rn its only a test joker

i havent figure out the logic yet

[glad osprey]

ah gotcha

[next elk]

ill probably make a consumable card like “Storm” and it will gain mult with every redeem or sth

[glad osprey]

for how balatro handles card pools

like all jokers are in the "Joker" pool

[long sun]

ah i see

ough wait i think i found the error -w-

[glad osprey]

tarots would be in both the tarots and consumables pool (i think)

[long sun]

i changed my key to phanta_Zodiac, but when creating cards for the booster, it uses just Zodiac

[next elk]

possible spoiler for lis??: ||maybe ill also make it have a chance to die, #imcrying||

[long sun]

hopefully that solves it

oh wait it's just a case issue i think ^^ i did have the prefix

[glad osprey]

how much screentime did that butterfly get 😭

(ive never played)

[next elk]

its a spirit animal of one of the main characters

||which is known for.. dying a lot||

[glad osprey]

pretty shit spirit animal imo

[next elk]

wow that was rude

chloe price would kill you

[glad osprey]

joking i genuinely do not have that opinion 😭

[next elk]

ik im ironic

[glad osprey]

just thought it would be funny to have beef with a butterfly

[next elk]

pretty common ngl

😭

[hardy viper]

i beef with no bugs

[next elk]

rn im wondering if im gonna make this mod like gaming-reference themed or just references to stuff i like

[hardy viper]

they interesting

[next elk]

and make way too many cat jokers

[glad osprey]

i only have beef with bugs when they fly towards me at 50 miles an hour

[hardy viper]

actually there was a really big like fly like thing in my room a bit ago

i think he was asleep

[next elk]

any opinions on which should i do

[hardy viper]

i don't like that dude

[next elk]

hey he was just eepy

[hardy viper]

he could've picked a better spot 😭

[glad osprey]

small things moving towards me fast triggers my fight or flight response faster than anything else in the world

[red flower]

are we hating on bugs

can i join

[glad osprey]

not particularly

[long sun]

ohhhhhh we're so gamingggg

[glad osprey]

moreso evolution of humands

[glad osprey]

i dont think thats a zodiac sign

[long sun]

indeed ^^

[hardy viper]

i like bugs when they just like walk on my arm

like little fellas

[glad osprey]

same

i had a little firefly friend once :)

[hardy viper]

peak

[golden lake]

this gives me an excuse to post my beloveds again

[long sun]

peak!! i remember seeing those :D

[zealous glen]

I hope SMODS solves the issue with Consumable Types sometime

[golden lake]

wdym? there's no issue

these work smoothly

[zealous glen]

Every mod that adds Zodiac adds to the same set

[shell timber]

if two mods add a "Zodiac" consumeable type then they can't be distinguished in say pack pulls

[golden lake]

easy, replace them all with Balatrostuck ones, we Homestucks own the concept of star signs

[shell timber]

True...

[next elk]

wait

how well does rust integrate with lua

[zealous glen]

4 mods and counting

[shell timber]

uh you can do rust ffi but it's not worth it for most mods

[golden lake]

Luckily Balatrostuck has no plans of accomodating modpacking

[zealous glen]

To be fair there were like 3 non-Consumable Zodiacs

[zealous glen]

Andy throwing away Woody GIF but it's modded Balatro players seeing Balatrostuck doesn't support compatibility:

[next elk]

fair, has anybody tried it?

[shell timber]

i think someone's tried to optimise talisman by using a rust version of omeganum?

[next elk]

wowser

well i guess we have to make steamodded rust api /j

[golden lake]

You're so right they'll drop everything to play absolute cinema

Jocker solos every single Joker /j

[shell timber]

finally a mod to compete with Joyous Spring

[zealous glen]

I meant that they'd drop Balatrostuck ^^'

[golden lake]

That's preposterous and would never happen

[zealous glen]

Though if Balatrostuck can Dagger Cryptid I'd be happy :P

[golden lake]

You underestimate the 413 Terezi sleeper cells

That will awaken once the mod drops

[zealous glen]

413 Terezi sleeper cells going to sleep: honk shoo mimimi

[golden lake]

this is factually wrong

they would not go honk

they whould just go SHOO M1M1M1

[zealous glen]

Terezi did go honk tho

She regretted it

But she did

[golden lake]

we do not talk about the Game Over timeline

[zealous glen]

Terezi 🤝 Jane
going honk

[hardy viper]

you need c bindings

but mostly fine with luajit

[next elk]

i see

we need rust steamodded (actually we dont but it would be pretty cool)

[hardy viper]

you have rust lovely

[golden lake]

do not put Rust in the Balatro, there's such a thing called "restraint"

[hardy viper]

i once saw someone call rust useless because people don't use it for ios apps

[next elk]

🙄

[next elk]

i dont knwo such thing

:3

[golden lake]

Rust is very useful, but I don't think it's a smart idea to interop two languages like Rust and Lua

[hardy viper]

interop every language tbh

[next elk]

actually i can see it, Rust for low end operations and Lua for high level operations

[shell timber]

rust could probably be useful for optimising talisman, yeah

[hardy viper]

there's a rust omeganum port out there

[shell timber]

yeah the only issue is making it interop

[hardy viper]

i don't think it'd be too much faster tbh

[next elk]

Rust seems like it would be useful for changing the game at its core moreso than just adding content

[golden lake]

you're using the outdated cool :3 language, everyone's moved onto Zig

[hardy viper]

no thanks

[next elk]

rust is the og :3 language

[golden lake]

Actually no, the og :3 language is Haskell but you're too afraid for that conversation

[next elk]

but rust us the superior :3 language

[golden lake]

Moving the goalposts

Fallacious argument

[next elk]

rust is the :3 of :3 languages

[golden lake]

Appeal to :3

Another fallacy

[next elk]

nuh uh

[golden lake]

Circular reasoning

[next elk]

Nuh uh!!!

[golden lake]

Appeal to nuh uh

[next elk]

nuh uh!!!!!!!!

[zealous glen]

I thought the new cool language du jour was Julia

[red flower]

php

[rough furnace]

I thought the new cool language was lua

[cunning barn]

getting back to coding king of town. once again asking where the piece of code i was given would go

[vale glen]

@scarlet thorn , Axy has some time at PC to describe the issue now, but not enough time to iterate on the code. The first attached picture shows the desired effect of the Joker. The second shows futile attempts to read the lovely dump and figure out how to load playing cards into the shop, and eventually re-doing this for a random Joker in the pool with a negative edition set on it.

As it is now, it tries to index local 'card' and complains it's a nil value, on line 514 in the code.

[royal ridge]

proof by assertion

[thorn flame]

polish

[echo sky]

j_chris_griffin= {order = 151, unlocked = true, discovered = false, blueprint_compat = true, perishable_compat = true, eternal_compat = true, rarity = 3, cost = 20, name = "Chris Griffin", pos = {x=1,y=9}, set = "Joker", config = {mult = 500}},

[red flower]

you shouldnt use the vanilla structure

it should be like this https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua

[golden lake]

what do you mean polish

[echo sky]

is there not a way to do it on vanilla

[red flower]

you probably need to change Card:calculate_joker

but i would recommend just using smods unless you really cant

[echo sky]

how would i do that

[thorn flame]

the original :3 languag

[red flower]

no idea

[shut crater]

No one here would be able to help you if you try to do things the vanilla way, we all use smods

[echo sky]

ah damn

[shut crater]

Plus there's no benefit to doing things the vanilla way, but there is benefit to doing things the smods way

Particularly mod compatibility

And documentation

[next elk]

anybody knows how to do a bonus based on sth like "each time ante is lowered"?

[spring socket]

i'm trying to do something with the Card.juice_up function, but when Talisman or Cryptid are loaded the card isn't juicing. What might be happening here?

[red flower]

do you have disabled animations

[cunning barn]

ok im just gonna cave would anyone here be willing to extend programming help to me for jokestar in like a GC or dev server? i am STRUGGLING here every joker i try to make

[manic rune]

"bonus based"?

[next elk]

i mean like adding 0.1X mult for every time ante is lowered

[manic rune]

ah

well, a bad but sure-fire solution is to check when ante changes in update

a better but not too sure-fire solution will be to hook to ease_ante

the second one won't guarantee because some people might directly change antes instead of using ease_ante, so the effect won't account for that

the first one is a bit more memory-consuming, but it ensures that the effect will always work, so it depends on which you want :p

[next elk]

hmm

thanks

ill figure it out then

[manic rune]

no prob

[smoky seal]

Hey everyone! I'm new here to modding Balatro. I made a mod a few months ago all thanks to the amount of content on this server. So thanks for that! I have an idea for a new mod but don't think I can do it alone. Does anyone fancy working with me on it?

[zealous glen]

Which mod did you make

[next elk]

actually, could you link to wiki page explaining it? (if there is any)

[smoky seal]

I didn't publicise it, but it went alongside a Home Assistant integration I made to share the game state and events. I paired it with my smart lighting and LED strips around the TV to make it more immersive

I can dig out a video if you're interested

[zealous glen]

I’m not looking to participate in other projects this year, but I do think showcasing your previous project might help attract more eyes to your request

[manic rune]

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

this is for hooking to ease_antw

as for the other approach - SMODS.Joker has update built in, you will want to use it

[next elk]

hmm i see, thanks

ill probably use the update then

[smoky seal]

I mean, the source code is on my GH but it was never intended to be used by others. The HA integration was locally made also. I have another idea which (I don't think) is as involved but could never get the hang of finding the right way to hook into the game

[manic rune]

im currently a bit busy with my studies and my own mods rn - but that's really sick

[smoky seal]

The new mod idea is to do some sort of time trial. You have x number of seconds to do things. 6 seconds in the shop, 2 seconds blind selection, 5 seconds per hand (these are just example times).

If you go past 0 seconds, you get $1 removed. Maybe there's a thing where for every second you have left, you gain $1 too (idk yet).

It would be paired with a joker to slow down time (or disable the timer for x rounds), but also a voucher to double the timer

[hushed field]

I dont know if Id be able to help with setting up that system broadly, but Ive been trying to improve the time trial jokers in Balatro Goes Kino, which would be code very easily transfered to a system like that

[zealous glen]

I think something happened to your last sentence

[smoky seal]

It might well be this exists already, but I couldn't find anything

[zealous glen]

Cryptid has something similar I think

[cedar stream]

anyone looking to help out with making the example mod im working on have better explanation

[zealous glen]

With a Boss Blind

[smoky seal]

Ohh I see.

[hushed field]

What's the mod?

[zealous glen]

I had also joked about a SUPERHOT mod

[smoky seal]

Haha, that sounds cool

[cedar stream]

https://github.com/Dragokillfist/Example-Balatro-Mod

[red flower]

ohh that would be funny

[hushed field]

Biggest issue for a time-gate mod would be having a neat UI, I think. Most of it would easily handled with a dummy joker and a timer in an event!

[smoky seal]

Jimbo only moves when you do

[zealous glen]

The joke was just that it would make the game awful/impossible to play 😅 maybe it could be made into something playable, but then it wouldn’t be a joke

[smoky seal]

This is the thing. I found it hard to know how to make good UI. Seems quite involved.

Also my other mod idea that I did have working was "Balatro Sabotage". It actually worked well but I got blocked by the UI system as it was too confusing. Basically, it starts a webserver and allows your friend to sabotage your game. I have video for that too. Hold on

[hushed field]

I'm up to help out. Also, N is working on remaking all vanilla jokers as smods' jokers for similar purposes. It's hard to judge what the help would be with, though!

[cedar stream]

literally anything from the code to suggestions on how i could clarify on some things

[red flower]

im bad at explaining things, that why my mod has almost no comments lol

[zealous glen]

There was a mod to connect Balatro with Twitch I think

[smoky seal]

I made a nice little web UI for it which I was proud of but yeah, I was skill-checked when it came to making Balatro do stuff

[hushed field]

It's easier than expected if you wanna do simple things, and a nightmare for very complicated stuff. If you have some ideas as to what you want to have it look like, I can try and whip something up. Also, perhaps Breeze builder would be okay with having it use his system clock mod UI in some way?

[manic rune]

why and how did this person appear out of nowhere and started posting extremely cool stuff

😭

what

[zealous glen]

I think using the speedrun timer mod makes more sense

[smoky seal]

Wait me?

[hushed field]

I can take a look and see if there's anything I'd be able to contribute. Is there a thread for it in any way? Might be handy so I don't forget immediately after putting my phone away, haha

[manic rune]

yeah, you

those are all amazing

[smoky seal]

Haha, thank you. I'm looking for someone to work with

[cedar stream]

the talk abot it mostly happens in the cryptid server

[hushed field]

There's a subgenre of programmer that just does cool stuff and doesn't post about it. Strange to think about, I know

[manic rune]

i really hope you will find one soon, because these projects are super amazing - and it actually shocks me that I've never heard of them before

[manic rune]

they keep cool shit to themselves, unbelievable 🥀

[smoky seal]

I expect the clock to be somewhere in the UI, same font as the game. I want it to look native. I can probably do most of it but get blocked on:

• The best way to write logic outside of Joker calculation functions (for things like global events or general state checks)
• I am pretty sure I can't do the art. Else it would look like a 5 year old did it

[hushed field]

Ah. I should check there more often, I think. Seems like there's a whole separate side to the modding community there

[smoky seal]

Thing is, I love sharing my stuff, I do a lot of cool stuff in my own time but don't like sharing it.

[red flower]

some mods do a dummy joker for the first one, I hook SMODS.calculate_context but that's a bit less flexible

[hushed field]

Haha, I get it. I just mean that there's a lot of people who share their stuff with friends, or only when it's finished, compared to a lot of people that are active here basically logging the entire mod process from not knowing how anything works up until a release

[smoky seal]

Ohh nice

[zealous glen]

Depending on the specifics, I think the easy way to do game mechanics is with fake Jokers

[manic rune]

i actually still remember you posting your progress here at one point

before you released balatro goes kino :3

i think it was about the uhh cards with popcorn + theatre curtains?

[smoky seal]

I see. This is insightful. I thought I was proud of my mods until I tried Cryptid and saw the Code Cards and then cried inside

[smoky seal]

This was the mod for that Sabotage example - https://github.com/mrdarrengriffin/BalatroSabotage

[hushed field]

Cryptid's cool to play with, but also a huge community project with a lot of spaghetti code, haha. I tend to be as impressed by the people that write that code as those that are still able to read it and get what it does, haha

[red flower]

new project: cryptid remade

[zealous glen]

New project: Cryptn’t

[smoky seal]

Cryp-dont

[hushed field]

But the UI stuff for a clock seems pretty doable 🤔

Also, to see some impressive code in a Balatro mod, I'm going to plug #1338302514616995892 again, haha

[brazen tusk]

Crypt-idn't

[smoky seal]

Make a Ned Flanders version - Cryp-tiddly

Okay, I made myself laugh too much at that

[maiden phoenix]

Every joker is a couch gag

[hushed field]

I'd also be up to do some pixel art for jokes and such, Darren

[smoky seal]

Oh sick. Thank you!

[hushed field]

Would you rather have a Simpson or a thot daughter? 🤔

[maiden phoenix]

Is the daughter Lisa Simpson?

[hushed field]

On that note, I should figure out why this alien Abduction stuff keeps crashing. I was gonna debug today but instead I've just Clair Obscur'd

[red flower]

im going to add banish to playing cards

abduction 2

[hushed field]

I suspect Kino and JoyousSpring are already a nightmare mod combo anyway, so bet few things can make it worse haha

[maiden phoenix]

If I want a nightmare mod combo I put on Brainstorm and Saturn

[red flower]

what happens with incantation + saturn

[cedar stream]

ok #1370445159690666105 forum made

[zealous glen]

Nightmare blunt rotation

[next elk]

okay fire, havent coded logic yet and i think ill leave it for later

[smoky seal]

Maybe I should make forum threads for the Sabotage and Time Trial mod ideas

[hushed field]

definetely. Even if you don't use it to chat, it'd be something to link to

[rotund ridge]

hello im looking for a dev that would be more ui centred for my mod i need like title screen changed and some other miscellaneous things i will pay you dm me if interested

[smoky seal]

Here y'arr

I did a quick mockup of the UI for the timer, but nothing crazy.

[wheat pulsar]

hi, someone have a sample of triboulet or any joker when a card score do something?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/3adf02fc6d7f47f50d9fb2e26cf24e8873630866/src/jokers.lua#L4728

[wheat pulsar]

omg ty!

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know enough about smods to tell me why this doesn't work now so i can fix it? (it did on an older version but more recent versions dont)

[maiden phoenix]

Wow you even got the unlock conditions in it that's cool

[red flower]

im only missing the sprite manipulation stuff

and testing

[maiden phoenix]

Just wondering, is it safe to call a value from context.scoring_hand in the first check?

for hanging chad

[runic pecan]

You can replace it with context.other_card == (context.scoring_hand or {})[1]

[next elk]

steamodded vscode extension when

[maiden phoenix]

Steamodded has an LSP

[sonic cedar]

now

[crisp coral]

some mods allow you to play no cards, or unscore all cards

[red flower]

i think i copied this one from vanilla but i can test it

[next elk]

oh really, didnt know

[red flower]

that's fine, it would just be nil

[maiden phoenix]

No but like wouldn't it give a "context.scoring_hand is nil" error in some contexts?

[crisp coral]

would it? idr if it would crash

[maiden phoenix]

I think it does that's why I'm asking

[crisp coral]

it's probably fine

[runic pecan]

Well, your concern is correct, iirc

[red flower]

repetition seems to be always called with scoring_hand in G.play

[red flower]

oh wait i think i understand what you mean now
lua evaluates from left to right so I know scoring_hand exists if the first two checks passed, if not it returns false early

[maiden phoenix]

Oooh I was wondering why in my early days of modding some context would crash randomly (I wasn't familiar with lua at the time)

[wheat pulsar]

hi, im trying to make a card that upgrade each time you play a hand with stone cards, i think i need to add a context to know when a stone card triggers

[frosty rampart]

so do you want the card to upgrade every time a stone card is scored, or once if the entire hand contains any stone cards?

[wheat pulsar]

yeah when is scored

[red flower]

in the first if condition just add and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone")

[frosty rampart]

yea that's all you'll need to do

[wheat pulsar]

is any documentation of how the context works?

btw thanks its working now

: )

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[maiden phoenix]

Any reason you'd use in_pool instead of the enhancement_gate? SMODS has it too

[red flower]

to have an example

[maiden phoenix]

If it's just to show in_pool that's nice too

Fair

[red flower]

same with the unlocks

[maiden phoenix]

Right

[plain apex]

bruh i just got on to test a new thing i made and you really out here giving me the soul NOW?

don't know if modded codes even correspond to anything unmodded but instant soul if they do lmao MG9744A7

[sleek cliff]

lmaoooo

should I change the context to if context.before and next(context.planet_use) or something like that

[red flower]

what do you want to do

[sleek cliff]

every planet card used, gain +5 mult (currently +0)

[red flower]

oh then use context.using_consumeable

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/3adf02fc6d7f47f50d9fb2e26cf24e8873630866/src/jokers.lua#L1466

[sleek cliff]

ooo I forgor abt that jonker

[sleek cliff]

wait hold on here

[sly python]

can i get help in this channel or nah bc nobody will help in the chat channel

[sleek cliff]

this is the help channel yeah

[sly python]

yay

so like i use bmm for mods cuz i really only play vinella+ and somtimes cripted but i want saturn and its not on bmm and when i downloaded it idk how to get it into bmm

[sleek cliff]

oh, this is for coding help

[sly python]

guh

where do i get modding help?

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506360987877408

[wintry arch]

question for anyone who has stared at the source code enough: where do the magic numbers in the pseudoseed function come from?

[limber blaze]

im pretty sure they are just chosen/generated to give random enough looking results

idk if they mean anything

[wintry arch]

im mostly interested in reverse engineering the rng algorithms to try and find cool bugged seeds

[next elk]

i dont really get how to make joker descriptions like Steel Joker, can anyone explain pretty please

[daring fern]

loc_vars?

[next elk]

do you have an example in code

(Im dum dum and wont understand without seeing it in actual code)

[sleek cliff]

amazing comedic timing

[sturdy compass]

Random question since it seems to be undocumented and I wanna check before I try, but can I run context.individual through G.consumeables?

[wintry solar]

Yes

Every context that goes through a joker will go through your consumables too

[wintry arch]

my mathematical understanding of the function is that it is a chaotic function which will likely not have more than one or two true fixed points (besides nan). but those fixed points as well as some cycles could still exist, floating point rounding willing.

[sleek cliff]

Ok, so with this code, it shows up, but when I try to discover the joker with devmode mod it crashes

[brazen tusk]

is there anything about events on the smods wiki? been trying to find smth

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager ?

[brazen tusk]

ty

[maiden phoenix]

@red flower I saw your comment where key_append allows an added card to identify its source. Where is it actually on a card? Like card.key_append ?

[spring thistle]

I am trying to make a joker that gets stronger for each consumable held in a specific set using this:

function get_arrows()
    local arrowCount = 0   
    for i = 1, #G.consumeables.cards do
        local card = G.consumeables.cards[i]
        print(card, card:getQty())
        for i, v in pairs(card) do
            print(i,v, type(i), type(v))
            if card.set == 'Arrow' then
             arrowCount = arrowCount + (card.getQty and card:getQty() or 1)
            end
        end
    end
    return arrowCount
end

I'm not sure how to check the set, as it seems to be absent from the cards.

[red flower]

it (should) get passed to in_pool as args.source

[maiden phoenix]

It's card.ability.set

[spring thistle]

thanks

[maiden phoenix]

Oh so it's just used for that, it's not given to a card?

[red flower]

yeah

[maiden phoenix]

Damn

[red flower]

maybe I could make that more clear

[glad osprey]

is there a flipped E (Ǝ) in the balatro font

[brazen tusk]

the delay here feels like its taking way longer than it should, if after not the correct trigger to be using?

[shut crater]

that feels right based on vibes

[glad osprey]

why are you flipping thunk

[shut crater]

(I don't see any errors)

[brazen tusk]

couldnt think of a variable name

cant use context's inside events afaik

[glad osprey]

[brazen tusk]

Have a phone video bc I cba opening obs lol

[sturdy compass]

It doesn't

[red flower]

it gets flipped at the beginning of scoring and gets unflipped after all the events before are done, so the delay doesn't add much

try doing everything in an event

[brazen tusk]

so after in the events thing takes place after everything?

makes sense i just wanna clarify

[red flower]

you name it center in the loc_vars parameters but use card after, stick with one (preferably card)

[red flower]

yes, basically during scoring everything not in an event gets processed in order and then everything in an event is processed in order

[daring fern]

How does one stop particles from being created?

[hard needle]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            held_card:start_dissolve()
                            
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        trigger='after',
                        delay=0.7,
                        func = function()
                            held_card:remove()
                            card.removed = true
                            return true
                        end
                    }))

i don't think this is properly destroying the cards.. it seems like it still remains in G.playing_cards?

[red flower]

is this during scoring?

[hard needle]

emm no

it's in context.selling_self

[brazen tusk]

if its all in the event theres no delay between the card flipping and unflipping and its then too quick

[red flower]

put another event inside the event

or something it's a bit trial and error

[daring fern]

Or how does create a card object without creating a card?

[red flower]

hmm make the card invisible?

[brazen tusk]

i just removed the trigger after so it defaulted to immediate and kept the delay how i originally had it

[quick kraken]

Does anyone know Extra Credit's policy in terms of looking at their code for reference?

Extra Credit, the mod by the people in Balatro University's community

[brisk rose]

I've never heard of a mod trying to tell people not to

[daring fern]

There is a policy?

[quick kraken]

"policy"

I just want to know if they'd be ok with it

Something in the past happened with Polterworx about "stolen code" and since I plan on eventually releasing the mod I'm developing I'd prefer if that didn't happen

[brisk rose]

That was art I'm 99% sure

Not cods

[quick kraken]

I remember it being also code

[brisk rose]

Though don't look at extracredit for anything enhancements related. They use the quantum enhancements stuff which is pretty unstable

[quick kraken]

I was interested more so about how to make something "can't be debuffed"

[wintry solar]

What do you mean by this

[wintry solar]

I’m pretty sure almost everybody here will be fine for you to look at their code, and if you copy it to use yourself just put some credit somewhere stating where it’s from - it stops all discontent from happening straight from the off

[quick kraken]

I'd feel safer if there was an official statement, I could ask one of the developers, or I was told how to do the thing I was aiming to do without having to look at it

[brisk rose]

Well, the very fact hay extracrwdit uses the newer (get_enhancements instead of has_enhsnvement seems to be why that one stack overflow only happens when it is installsd

The one with aetherjokers

And I presume that's not the only such isssie

[cerulean bane]

lol @ the 🇵🇭 reacts

[wintry solar]

No that’s a coding issue in aether jokers

[brisk rose]

Then why did it only happen with extra credit also loaded? Geniine question

[chrome widget]

Curious, why exactly is it preferred to use G.GAME.Blind instead of self within the SMODS Blind methods?

[daring fern]

Yes, but creating every common joker at the same time makes the game hard crash.

[wintry solar]

Without seeing your entire mod list, I’d assume extra credit is your only mod that’s enabling quantum enhancements

[brisk rose]

Maybe unstable was the wrong word. I presumed exactly that and meant that enabling quantum enhancements might cause unexpected behavior with mods that don't do so, even if it technically was never the right way for then to have been using it in the first place

[wintry solar]

As long as mods do their calculations correctly quantum won’t cause any issues at all other than a slight performance hit, hence why it’s optional

[daring fern]

But making a "fake card" with similar properties works mostly fine but it comes with a lot of issues.

[brisk rose]

I mean... Mods that don't tale into account he was that get_emhancements existing chamgr how has_emhsnvement works aren't really doing anything 'wrong.' He documentation isn't clear on the fact that happens

[wintry solar]

It’s not that, it’s calculate functions they aren’t targeting specific contexts that is the issue, and there are lots of other things that will crash when you do this anyway. Because of how calculation works with using one function over and over, you must be very specific on how you ensure you are only having your code called at the correct timings

[brisk rose]

Yeah that's fair

Artherjokers has a fix for its issue j haven't been able to test yet because when I update everything in my nodpzbk, it just crashes at boot, lol

It isn't caused by aether either

Idk what's doing it

And yes this is the who I e tracebsck. It's a hard crash

It persists when I restart my computer

[hollow sphinx]

trying to make a joker that sets hands to 1, but it just sets it to zero. replacing nil with +1 just makes the game crash

[wintry solar]

This is taking away the number of hands you have left

X-X=0

[hollow sphinx]

yeah fixed it on my own by doing this

[glad osprey]

is this too op

[sage crater]

This is a better campfire without the downside

[glad osprey]

yea

its also legendary

[sage crater]

If you made it the same increase as campfire, i think it would still be legendary-worthy

Especially because you can reroll the shop and get hella jokers to sell

Oh wait, it’s every 3 jokers

[brisk rose]

Yeah

And only jokers

[sage crater]

Ok yeah I think the 0.5 is good

[brisk rose]

I think onus a good legendary

[sage crater]

Barely a difference

Lots of jokers are cheap, and riff raff exists

[brisk rose]

Specific synergies don't real ro me, but fair enough things like riff-raff do exist even in my giant pool

[sage crater]

That’s fair

With each added joker, synergies between two specific jokers become harder to acquire

Also a riff raff doesn’t even give x0.5 per round

So it’s not a major synergy

Also also, you need space to hold the jokers

[shut crater]

the downside is that it takes up one of your joker slots

[shut crater]

o

[hollow sphinx]

trying to make a joker that sets hands to one, but if you have 2 of them / blueprint the effect will activate twice and you will usually have negative hands. tried to fix this with the "and G.GAME.current_round.hands_left >= 2" but both still activate

[red flower]

you need to calculate the amount inside the event instead of outside i think

[hollow sphinx]

changed to this, both still activate

[sonic cedar]

I think enough time has passed that I can bump this

[shut crater]

what does cyanosis do

[brazen tusk]

very cool, seems fairly balanced imo

[shut crater]

and what do you mean by "doesn't work"?

[raven forge]

sorry. I'm willing to get pinged, and hopefully Eremel. let me think

[sonic cedar]

Whenever you lose scoring mult (think ) this card gains 10x the amount of chips

[sonic cedar]

The chip gain doesn’t trigger

[shut crater]

can you show the joker code?

[sonic cedar]

let me just get to my computer rq

[shut crater]

but no error message/crash log right?

[sonic cedar]

yeah just nothing happens

like I said it used to work but I forget when I did but I updated smods and now it doesn’t work

[raven forge]

the code relies on calculate_joker(), better calc might mess with things then

hm, in theory it should still do something. hm

[chilly hull]

this is absolutely doing absolutely nothing i have no idea why :(

[raven forge]

what is the card.ability.extra.chips > 1 check doing?

[sonic cedar]

talisman

[raven forge]

if it starts at 0 how could it ever gain chips?

[wintry solar]

Use SMODS.calculate_context instead of doing a calc joker call

You don’t handle the return table here

[sonic cedar]

(i literally have never seen that in my life)

[wintry solar]

It should still gain chips though

[raven forge]

it has two conditionals, and both are guarded by a >1 check. I think it does nothing

[sonic cedar]

.

all i did was comment it out when it stopped working

only now am i actually changing stuff

[raven forge]

the intended check was probably: if the joker's chips > 0 in the first part, give +chips; no condition for the second part

[next elk]

how can i make an enhancement which copies itself to another card?

[sonic cedar]

the chip gain is before the scoring though

[wintry solar]

Instead of the whole loop you do SMODS.calculate_context({context table here})

[sonic cedar]

ohh

where do i reinclude the if statement

[wintry solar]

The only if statement you need is the first one thet compares the mult values

-# ewww to_big 🤮😂

[sonic cedar]

not even the one that looks for the specified?

[raven forge]

yeah not even that. if to_big() < to_big() then SMODS.calculate_context({...})

[wintry solar]

Yeah, just send the context to everything anyway

[wintry solar]

You can narrow it down to only when you have your joker if you really want to, but it isn’t necessary

[shut crater]

your joker will be responsible for responding to the context you pass in, other jokers will ignore

[sonic cedar]

i think it was like that before as a "just in case"

[raven forge]

jeez, sorry. there's like 2 people I missed other than you.

[wintry solar]

If you did want to do that though, I’d suggest using if SMODS.find_card('joker key') then

[red flower]

don't forget next()

[wintry solar]

Oh snap you are right

[sonic cedar]

was about to say i need next() right

[wintry solar]

Mobile typing whilst tired is not the thing 🤣

[chilly hull]

Whar

[red flower]

i forget all the time

[raven forge]

this chat moves so quickly. comments get lost

[raven forge]

I unfortunately could not tell why your joker didn't work, Eremel?

[wintry solar]

I’d need to see more of the code

[sonic cedar]

dude selling_self is so weird stg

[wintry solar]

It looks like it’s nested within a different condition

[raven forge]

bumping this comment

it might be a bit more difficult than normal. what do you want to happen

[chilly hull]

I feel like I put it in the wrong spot but I can’t check right now power went out

[next elk]

when playing a hand with a card enhanced with this enhancement, have a lets say 1 in 3 chance to turn other scored (unenchanced) card into the same enchancement

[brisk rose]

could this have been happening because i forgot to close balatro on my other pc?

that sounds so strange if true

[sonic cedar]

IT WORKSSSS 🙏 thank you guys

[raven forge]

no idea.

[brazen tusk]

adding context.before makes this not work but i want it to change the rank of the card before scoring, anyone know how i could do that?

[raven forge]

sorry I'm trying to find a clear example from another mod for card copying

[next elk]

dw lol

[next elk]

i worded it iffy tho, its not really coping, moreso changing enhancement

[shut crater]

context.before and context.individual are not friends, and context.other_card only exists in context.individual

[brisk rose]

why is yiur pfp the default one? You're very helpfuk and insgihtful for a default pfp :P

[raven forge]

well I was a very private person. until recently

[shut crater]

if you use context.before you would need to manually iterate over played cards

[brisk rose]

fair enogh really :3

[zealous glen]

ejwu2 is now publicly traded

buy your ejwu2 stocks now

[shut crater]

ejwu2coin hype

[wintry solar]

bring back ejwu!

[raven forge]

the trouble with adding enhancements to cards specifically during scoring is that Midas Mask has this weird thing with adding enhancements, but then not displaying them until animation time. but I think you can go with Midas Mask as a reference for adding enhancements

[wintry solar]

I think that account had a blue default profile pic

[zealous glen]

ejwu^^2

[maiden phoenix]

Soon ejwu2 will have a pfp

Maybe i'm crazy

[raven forge]

who knows

[brisk rose]

same tho

[next elk]

i guess? good idea tho idk if im going to manage to do it since im not that familiar with lua tbh but ill try

[wintry solar]

Oh he was grey 😢

[zealous glen]

You're getting this wrong

ejwu2 is shiny

Their market value is through the roof

[sonic cedar]

5 whole dolar

[brisk rose]

yknow.... git commit should just default to git commit -a -m "updates" :P

I'm sure that wouldn't be a terrible idea at all

lmao

[maiden phoenix]

Egg (the moderator) has a new competitor

[brisk rose]

I've probably typed that exact command hundreds of times

[brazen tusk]

i see, ty

[marble flint]

that -a is such a footgun, you should instead git add "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && git commit -m "updates"

[zealous glen]

you can define custom git commands

I like git tree

which could be git dog or git god

git log --graph --oneline --decorate (actually I don't remember if it's one or two hyphens)

[primal robin]

...just press button is vscode to commit

[red flower]

just upload all the files manually to github

[brisk rose]

I never happen to be in a sub directory, most of my sub directories are just submodules

[zealous glen]

just do it like the olden days and send updates by email

(pre-github)

[brisk rose]

and well... the -a I'm unconvinsed does anything because I still have to do git add . first if I actually did add files

[marble flint]

(or in cmd, for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %i in (`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`) do git add %i && git commit -m "updates")

[marble flint]

the -a only adds files which are already tracked

which is why it's a footgun

[brisk rose]

ah, see shows how little I know about git

lol

[unkempt thicket]

Whats the var for the total mult right before its calculated with chips?

[sonic cedar]

is it possible to have a variable that persists change between runs (yes) AND even when the game itself is reopened? (the variable will reset anyway otherwise)

i figure it's something to do with storing information in the prof- holy shit

[brisk rose]

I'm not sure what adding already tracked files even does

ngl

[raven forge]

save it in the profile somewhere, probably

[marble flint]

it tells git to add the updates to them

[zealous glen]

mult

[brisk rose]

oh that's nessacary then with my submodule heavy repo for my modpack

[sonic cedar]

wait it really is just save it in the profile?

[brisk rose]

i think

[unkempt thicket]

I saw that in the code, is it just mult is that how i call it?

[zealous glen]

yes

[raven forge]

yeah. make sure you save it in the right save file though. I can't remember if it's meta or profile.

[brisk rose]

and my submodules aren't at the root of the repo, they're in ./mods

[brisk rose]

everything i actually edit is in that folder

[sonic cedar]

im running a separate instance so i only have the one save but thanks
are there any examples i can look at for saving stuff to the profile or no
(also it's profile since uhhh meta uses booleans and im doing a counter)

[raven forge]

ok it should just be something like G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile] = ... I think

[marble flint]

submodules are painful in their own special kind of way. good luck

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me how to make j5 when appearing on your hands remove for example j_mad and j_you?

[brisk rose]

I've been doing this for months so I think I got it down, lol

just recently learned how to change the branch of a submodule properly

[marble flint]

they also make life awful for anyone else downloading your code

the github download as zip button Does Not Work

[brisk rose]

which is why i provide a mods.zip

with everything already cloned

[marble flint]

git clone URL Does Not Work

it's just a massive pain point for anyone used to doing it a certain way

[brisk rose]

yes you have to use --recursive

I know

[marble flint]

yes i know that but it's painful to figure that out

[brisk rose]

I don't target git users anyway, especially saying as main is never stable

hence the release zip

[raven forge]

can you describe what you want to do

[brisk rose]

which I am aware is a violation of any non-OSS license, but I'm still convinced that steamodded mods have to be gpl compatabile. Regardless if I get any complaints i deal with them respectfully

[frigid blaze]

Let's say when I have j_name1 j_name2 j_name3 j_name5 appeared in my hand and removed all the ones before it, let's say I have to assemble a constructor to get the part 😀

[raven forge]

do you have a language you would prefer to english?

[brisk rose]

so unless a mod was causing the crash and was fixed in the last 12 hours, this was it

which is weird

[frigid blaze]

Yeah, Spanish.

[brisk rose]

like... how did its ass know the filesystem was initialized on another pc?

damn love.https

[raven forge]

sorry! just say what you want in Spanish. Hopefully someone understands. My spanish is poor

[brisk rose]

I think this is an English only server

unforutnately

[raven forge]

wait, you HAVE to speak english???

[brisk rose]

yeah a lot of servers do that to make it easier on the mods

[frigid blaze]

Simply put I need when I put together a collection of j_n1 j_n2 j_n3, then a special joker appeared and removed the previous ones.

[brisk rose]

I know what you mean

[daring fern]

How does one get the return of a vanilla joker without having a card to input?

[brisk rose]

basically they want a joker to spawn and delete the requirment jokers when all are obtained

it's a gimmick I've seen before

[raven forge]

yes, it's clear

[frigid blaze]

No, everyone here speaks it

[brisk rose]

but also yes

[raven forge]

the rules of the server say you have to speak english, to be clear

I didn't realize

[frigid blaze]

Great, I hope you can help me

[frigid blaze]

You're right. That's exactly what I need.

[raven forge]

Not sure what you mean by this- not just, call calculate_joker and check the result?

[daring fern]

You need a card for that.

[brisk rose]

so it's actually not too hard, in the set_ability of each joker 1-3, add a check that the other 2 exist, and if so, spawn joker 4. In the set_ability of joker 4, delete jokers 1, 2, and 3

[raven forge]

not set_ability; I think you want when the joker is "added to deck" (I can't remember the name of the context)

[brisk rose]

you use set_ability, not add_to_deck because add_to_deck retriggers when it's undebuffed

afaik

[daring fern]

And creating 150 jokers at the same time every time a context is calculated is not ideal.

[woeful stratus]

there is a value for that

[frigid blaze]

Add a joker in the presence of others I have already done, I need now to remove them in the presence of the last one

[raven forge]

no, set_ability is definitely incorrect because it runs when the joker appears in the shop

[brisk rose]

ah then you do add_to_deck with the check for the undebuffed thing

my bad

[raven forge]

for what purpose do you want the returns? description? simulating the joker?

[daring fern]

All jokers in one joker?

[frigid blaze]

Add a joker in the presence of others I have already done, I need now to remove them in the presence of the last one

[brisk rose]

that's in the last joker's add_to_deck

delete one of each of them (incause you have more than one cause showman)

[raven forge]

hm, in that case you probably can just pass the one omni-joker as the card. but forcing the requisite calculation functions to run even when card.ability is not actually equal to the one in question might be slightly awkward?

[frigid blaze]

They could be in any order and it would still work

[brisk rose]

I mean the last one as in the 4th one spawned that deleted the 4 requuisites

unless it itself can be a pre-req

[raven forge]

you can use SMODS.find_card to locate the jokers you want to destroy. To destroy them you can look at an example. Maybe Ceremonial Dagger?

[peak void]

where are the consumables in the source? i can't find them in card.lua

[frigid blaze]

That's right

[brisk rose]

yeah, though as i said make sure it only deletes one copy of each

[daring fern]

Card:use_consumeable in card.lua

[brisk rose]

or else people will be kinda boned with showman

[peak void]

alright, thank you

ah i spelled it wrong

[raven forge]

thunk misspelled it, really

[brisk rose]

if you can spell, then coding isn't for you anyway

it's like doctors and handwriting

[peak void]

i cannot find for the life of me the suit changer tarots

i found sigil at least 😭

[brisk rose]

ther're not just c_moon?

[raven forge]

they're not there directly. look for suit_conv

they're looking for where their effects are defined I think. not the original definition

[brisk rose]

ah i see

[peak void]

yeah im just trying to see how card suits are changed

[brisk rose]

but it should still have the keys there?

[peak void]

change_suit keeps breaking

[raven forge]

all of them use the same logic so searching for moon unfortunately doesn't work. suit_conv I think

[brisk rose]

damn thunk and his schizo codebase /j

[peak void]

ok it IS just change_suit("[Suit]")

i have no clue why this wouldnt work

[brisk rose]

you prolly want to use SMODS.change_base instead?

[peak void]

i see

[peak void]

wait why is there a semicolon in there

uhh

thats my bad

[brisk rose]

also wait... what if a suit and rank have the same key?

that seems problamatic

[peak void]

like a club of clubs? a king of kings?

[edgy reef]

Probably not a problem, actually.

[brisk rose]

because one can be ommited, how can it tell which you mean?

[vale glen]

Internally, that function just writes 'S_R' as part of the card key, so it doesn't affect anything

[brisk rose]

that's what i meant

oh nil

[vale glen]

Where s is suit and r is rank

[brisk rose]

nvm

I didn't see that you passed nil for the ommited param

I see now

[peak void]

yeah you omit it by using nil for the suit

[worthy stirrup]

How could I make my own consumbable tab for my own consumables?

like this

[brisk rose]

It's part of the consumab;e contructor

consumabletype constructor rather

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

[frigid blaze]

Tried it like this, it doesn't work

[brisk rose]

or do you mean like... a whole subtab just for the things you add regardless of type?

because if you just mean a tab for each new type, that happens automatically

[worthy stirrup]

I want to make a type of consumable, called Objects of Power, and I want my Objects of power to be found in it. If that makes sense

[brisk rose]

yeah, use what i linked

[worthy stirrup]

Okay, thank you

[brisk rose]

SMODS.ConsumableType

[daring fern]

How does one prevent this?:

[brazen tusk]

can use this base if you want

SMODS.ConsumableType({
    key = "key",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'name',
        collection = 'collection name'
    },
    primary_colour = HEX('000000'),
    secondary_colour = HEX('000000'),
    collection_rows = {6, 6},
    shop_rate = 1,
    default = 'c_prefix_key'
})

[worthy stirrup]

Thanks!

[brisk rose]

np :3

[brisk rose]

how did this happen?

[sonic cedar]

stretch it out

[brisk rose]

is that an eternal playing card?

no it is a joker

so yeah idk why that happened

[brazen tusk]

bro is squished

actually

just looks rotated

[next elk]

SMODS.Enhancement {
    key = "infected",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Infected'
    },
    atlas = 'enhancement',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.final_scoring_step then
            for _, scored_hand in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if scored_card() then
                    scored_card:set_ability('m_infected', nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            scored_card:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end
        end
    end
}

how can i make this one work like a consumable? as in trigger the action when played

[daring fern]

I think one of the jokers it was replicating was trying to remove itself.

[brisk rose]

it really does show that love2d is a 3d framework, lol

becayse the floating of the sticker is real and in the 3rd dimesnsion

[daring fern]

Why final_scoring_step?

Also you need your mod prefix.

[brazen tusk]

if im in context.before how would i assign a card that returns true on an if a variable?

[next elk]

welp i just thought that it would be the best, it would add enhancement to other cards after they are scored

but first i need to make it work like an enhancement lol

[daring fern]

No? It would be context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play?

[next elk]

oh ok

[raven forge]

I was very carefully stepping around this issue- you could make it happen before, during, or after scoring. all have their own quirks

[daring fern]

But since the card it is removing is a fabrication of a card it does that, I think.

[brazen tusk]

after this. so that i can refer to the cards in g.hand.cards

[gusty sequoia]

I touched my atlas (to change where it gets the pngs and such) and now its broken

Idk what to do :(

[brazen tusk]

what did you change?

[gusty sequoia]

I changed the Atlas name & the png it uses, and I already made sure all the jokers had the right Atlas

[daring fern]

Code?

[gusty sequoia]

SMODS.Atlas{ key = 'TahModAtlas', path = 'DahrinJokers.png', px = 1208, py = 1616 }

[next elk]

px and py are for individual jokers

not whole file

[gusty sequoia]

oh

[raven forge]

card is equal to the joker that got added to deck. You should locate the jokers j1, j2, ... by calling SMODS.find_card(j1),... then destroy those

[gusty sequoia]

Fuck

[sonic cedar]

how would i check for if it's the end of the round but outside of a joker?

[gusty sequoia]

So do I just take those out...?

[daring fern]

context.end_of_round?

[next elk]

no

[brazen tusk]

71 x 95

[gusty sequoia]

Oh

[daring fern]

71x95

[vale glen]

On that topic, is it possible to specify different sizes for different images within an atlas, or would it be simpler to just have different atlases and switch between them?

[brazen tusk]

oop

mb

get those mixed up

[gusty sequoia]

I'm gonna hope that fixes it

[brazen tusk]

should help at least lol

[gusty sequoia]

Hopefully

[sonic cedar]

so i need it outside of a joker
which means no calculate

im talking main lua

[gusty sequoia]

It didn't fix it, but I do wanna know, my jokers are that size so is it gonna break their images when it does eventually work?

[frigid blaze]

I understand, that's why I'm asking how to do it?

[brisk rose]

your mod functions run when you tell them to, you don't need to put then in an onject's calculate function

[sonic cedar]

so i can just

(ignore the intellisense)

[daring fern]

No?

[sonic cedar]

with hammers you are killing me

[tall apex]

Hammers.,,,

[sonic cedar]

would you prefer rocks

[vale glen]

What are you trying to do with the crimson count thing, anyways?

[raven forge]

if you are asking how to use the function, it's listed in https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility SMODS.find_card(key, count_debuffed) -> table

You can also find documentation in the lsp_def folder

aah link

[brisk rose]

I think you're totally overrwriting context.end_of_round? if this does anything at all

[sonic cedar]

i want a counter that increments each time you beat specifically the crimson heart

but if i dont save it to profile itll reset if i reopen the game

[brisk rose]

I mean the counter is fine to put on the profile, though it does already exist i'm pretty sure if you want previous wins too

[daring fern]

Wouldn't you be able to do that in calculate or a hook of Blind:defeat?

[sonic cedar]

it's for an unlock so im not sure

the hook maybe i'd have to actually look at Blind:defeat

[vale glen]

Mmh, a hook for Blind defeat seems good here

[sonic cedar]

just gotta make sure to put it OUTSIDE of the for loop lmao

do not need it hitting on every joker

[worthy stirrup]

is there a way to force my Object's of power to use a specific shader?

[brisk rose]

surprisingly with all the extra stuff tracked on the profile, that isn't something that is

kinda a shame

[daring fern]

The draw function or DrawStep?

[sonic cedar]

so since im hooking it i do need this
G.PROFILES[G.settings.profile].crimsonCount = 0
still right

so it saves to the profile

[gusty sequoia]

"Failed to collect file data for Atlas" does anyone know a solution to this...? My code for the atlas is right here if that helps any

[daring fern]

G.SETTINGS.profile

[raven forge]

yeah. you can just set a value directly, the game should automatically save it

[worthy stirrup]

how do i apply the shader in the draw function?

[zealous glen]

download more RAM; but actually, I wonder if that atlas is too big

[sonic cedar]

will i still need to ret in igo though

[zealous glen]

I know there's a limit to how big they can be

[gusty sequoia]

Oh

[raven forge]

igo? is that talisman

[sonic cedar]

nono

[gusty sequoia]

Yeah that's probably the issue

I can make multiple Atlas's right?

[zealous glen]

Yes

[gusty sequoia]

Aight, thanks

I'll be back with results asap!!1!

[raven forge]

oh, init_game_object. shouldn't need anything related to it; you can just assume the value is nil to start, and do the classic x or 0 pattern

[brisk rose]

well... whenever it saves the profile in general. I did need to force it to save when i did my profile editing scripts

but that was just through the debugplus console and not in a run or anything

[raven forge]

right, sorry. you should probably force a save

also hopefully there's no race condition with savescumming defeating the boss. I wouldn't worry too much about that though

[brisk rose]

I think it saves the profile whenever you exit a run, so it's fine

[worthy stirrup]

bump :3c

[brisk rose]

or in some sort of situation that happens all the time in normal gameplay

[raven forge]

have you checked the docs for those?

[gusty sequoia]

I wish I knew enough to be able to help other people

[worthy stirrup]

ive checked, i havent seen aynthing

[brisk rose]

I'm still shcoked that the blinds have literally zero stats tracked in the profile

nothing

the only thing boss related is 'boss_streak'

which wouldn't be surprising just looking at the stats screen, but there's all sorts of unused values there

in the profile itself

[raven forge]

the code that's run is the func field of the DrawStep. (assuming you're going that route, I guess you have a choice). Is the documentation unclear?

[frigid blaze]

What other functions are there besides calculate?

[worthy stirrup]

ive only seen draw(self, card, layer) but, i dont know where to go from there

i just dont know how to have it apply a shader

[daring fern]

draw = function(self, card, layer)
    card.children.center:draw_shader('shader', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader)
end
``` Perhaps?

[worthy stirrup]

ill try that

just to check, should i sent the shade key

[raven forge]

Each class should have a list of functions in the https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki. be careful, it might be a little out of date. You also will see functions from Balatro itself. Unfortunately the only way to understand those is reading Balatro's code

[hollow sphinx]

making a joker that sets hands to one, but when i have more than one of the joker/blueprint it activates on both, leading to negative hand size

[worthy stirrup]

ah, got it

i send Prefix_Key

[daring fern]

and not context.blueprint?

[brazen tusk]

currently trying to make this in context.before so i need to use a for and go through the cards

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and SMODS.Ranks[context.other_card.base.value].key == card.ability.extra.currentrank then
    babacard:flip()
    assert(SMODS.change_base(babacard, nil, card.ability.extra.newrank))
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        delay = 0.1, 
        func = function()
            babacard:flip()
        return true 
    end }))
end

not sure how to add the applicable cards into a table

this is where im at this it 💀

[hollow sphinx]

i just copied the code from burgler joker and changed it slightly, if thats causing issues i can get rid of it

oh that's what you meant, my bad

[daring fern]

if context.setting_blind and not card.getting_sliced and not context.blueprint then

[hollow sphinx]

works for if its being blueprinted, but not if i just have 2 copies of the joker

[frigid blaze]

Here's what worked for me, I just added it to each joker)

[cobalt arrow]

Can someone help? I'm creating a Joker that whenever a joker is sold, there's 1 in 3 chances to a joker from a table to be created...but I am having problems to "creation" part . How i'm suppose to make this?

[shut crater]

you won't use a return for that effect

[cobalt arrow]

oh

[shut crater]

instead you'll use SMODS.add_card

[cobalt arrow]

CHASEOQUESO

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[shut crater]

hi

[cobalt arrow]

remember the Tralalero Tralala joker?

[shut crater]

uh

[cobalt arrow]

you helped me somedays ago...

i got it to make it work!!

[shut crater]

oh yeah

nice!

[cobalt arrow]

thank you very much

your loop idea was right

[shut crater]

glad you got it working!

[cobalt arrow]

is it add_card or create_card?

[gusty sequoia]

To add another Atlas I can just copy the first Atlas and change the needed parts, right?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card

[cobalt arrow]

oh i got it

[shut crater]

add_card uses all the same arguments as create_card, but add_card puts the new card in the cardarea it belongs in

create_card just creates it

[cobalt arrow]

like this?

[shut crater]

you need curly braces

but pretty much

[cobalt arrow]

o7

[red flower]

card instead of self on the odds

[shut crater]

good catch

[cobalt arrow]

truee

i have one doubt about this...

[gusty sequoia]

I just solved the problem I was about to ask about

[cobalt arrow]

the key for all my mod jokers is "X_brainrot"
X being the name of each brainrot

can I specife this in the key = (...)?

[rapid stag]

keys for jokers added via SMODS are always j_[your mod prefix]_[your joker's key]
but yes

[shut crater]

key would be for a specific card

not for a group of cards

[cobalt arrow]

what I would use for specif joker names?

[cobalt arrow]

got it o7

[shut crater]

so you want it to create a joker from a table of jokers?

[cobalt arrow]

yes

but no, because the table are jokers with "_brainrot" in their names

i used this to tralalero tralala

[shut crater]

the way I would probably do it is by using key, but in order to make it a random joker from the list, you'll need to randomly select a joker using pseudorandom_element or something similar

[cobalt arrow]

not a set table

[shut crater]

so you would need to create and store that table somewhere

[cobalt arrow]

okok

[shut crater]

and then do this ^

[cobalt arrow]

perfect

thanks chaseoqueso

i'll try

[sonic cedar]

forgot to ask but was this literal like i PUT x or 0 or do i put something instead of x

[raven forge]

er, basically (x or 0) is a way to say, if x is nil, the result is 0, otherwise the result is x. to avoid an error

it wasn't very specific no. put whatever you want in x

[shut crater]

variable = variable or 0

[sonic cedar]

no i get what it means i just meant it literally

[shut crater]

or in general just the second part to ensure no nil values

[brazen tusk]

pretty sure other_card wont work in here, how could i get this to function otherwise? (also idk that it would)

[sonic cedar]

[shut crater]

I think v:get_id() would work here

unless currentrank is a string and not a number

[brazen tusk]

its a string

im using the keys

[shut crater]

regardless v is the replacement for context.other_card

in that loop

[tall apex]

I like keys they make good noises

[brazen tusk]

aight ty

[gusty sequoia]

Is there an example mod thing for enhancements?

[cobalt arrow]

how i make loc_vars for an odd?

or better, how I correct this "nil in nil"?

[shut crater]

do you have a loc_vars function yet?

[shut crater]

it would seem not, but looking at other mods is always a good start

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Dragokillfist/Example-Balatro-Mod/blob/main/Items/Enhancements.lua ?

[gusty sequoia]

Ah damn, here I go searching again

[shut crater]

I stand corrected

[gusty sequoia]

Yeah that seems like it

Thank you mate :D

[shut crater]

return { vars = { odds = card.ability.extra.odds } }

[sonic cedar]

so how would i do a hook for blind defeat here
it's not in init game object right so how

[shut crater]

local defeat_ref = Blind.defeat
function Blind:defeat(self, silent)

  return defeat_ref(silent)
end

[low parrot]

Hi, so i was wondering if there's a way so a joker changes all hands played into High Card??

[daring fern]

local oldblinddefeat = Blind.defeat
function Blind:defeat(silent)
            -- code here
    return oldblinddefeat(self, silent)
end

[low parrot]

the card in question lmao:

[cobalt arrow]

The code should sound like this?

          local odds = card.ability.extra.odds
          return {
             vars = { odds = card.ability.extra.odds }
             }
            end,```

[frosty rampart]

You don't need to define an odds variable outside of the return in the first place

[sonic cedar]

oh i was just overthinking it ok
thank you 🫶

[cobalt arrow]

it's already defined

[frosty rampart]

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

[sonic cedar]

is this fine

[brazen tusk]

my logic here is probably very wrong, could i get a proof read pls

        local baba_cards = {}
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
            -- Sort cards into baba_cards
            for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if SMODS.Ranks[v.base.value].key == card.ability.extra.currentrank then
                    baba_cards[#baba_cards +1] = v
                end
            end
            -- Convert cards in baba_cards to newrank
            for i = 1, #baba_cards do
                local babacard = baba_cards[i]
                babacard:flip()
                assert(SMODS.change_base(babacard, nil, card.ability.extra.newrank))
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    delay = 0.1, 
                    func = function()
                        babacard:flip()
                    return true 
                end }))
            end
        end

[worthy stirrup]

How do i make this a 3 x 3?
I have the code like this rn

SMODS.ConsumableType({
    key = "OOP",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Objects Of Power',
        collection = 'Objects Of Power'
    },
    primary_colour = HEX('000000'),
    secondary_colour = HEX('000000'),
    collection_rows = {4, 4},
    shop_rate = 0,
    default = 'c_o'
})

i tried 3, 3 but it didnt work

[manic rune]

collection rows

[worthy stirrup]

oh

it just hit me

[brazen tusk]

how would that even work actually

[worthy stirrup]

its {3, 3, 3}

[brazen tusk]

those look great btw

[worthy stirrup]

its how many you have per row

[brazen tusk]

i moreso meant how would it look

[worthy stirrup]

ohh

1s

[brazen tusk]

o7

[brazen tusk]

oh it just changes the box size

[worthy stirrup]

yea

[brazen tusk]

v cool

[gusty sequoia]

Woah

[manic rune]

the cards look really nice

[brazen tusk]

^^

[cobalt arrow]

This is how I make selling a card create a random joker?

[worthy stirrup]

I wont lie, they are placeholders that were ripped from the game Control and then shrunk down

[brazen tusk]

understandable

[shut crater]

set = 'Joker'

[brazen tusk]

currently doing nothing when i play a card

[shut crater]

try removing the context.cardarea check

[brazen tusk]

wait what is G.hand.cards again?

[shut crater]

the cards in the player's hand that they didn't play

[brazen tusk]

ah i am doing it in the wrong place then

[cobalt arrow]

it isn't spawning nothing when I sell a Joker 😭

[shut crater]

can you remove the random part just for testing

[smoky seal]

Does anyone have a good example of have to make a fake joker. I assume there's a way to hide it and stop it coming up in games

[cobalt arrow]

I added two "Oops All six"

[shut crater]

in_pool = function(self, args)
    return condition_for_when_this_joker_should_appear_in_shops
end

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L1728C5-L1730C8

[smoky seal]

Thank you

[shut crater]

I still think there's something wrong with it in general, please try removing it

[cobalt arrow]

I have this now

[daring fern]

area = G.jokers

Also you don't need area I don't think.

[smoky seal]

Is pos required if you don't provide an atlas

[shut crater]

add_card is smart enough to know where cards go

[daring fern]

No.

[smoky seal]

Cool, thought so

[shut crater]

pos and atlas have default values

[smoky seal]

What about cost, rarity, etc.

[shut crater]

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

[smoky seal]

Ohh yeah. Sorry didn't see the split in params for optional

[shut crater]

technically only key and a localization entry are required

[cobalt arrow]

even removing the randomness, it isn't spawning nothing

[shut crater]

did you also do this suggestion

[cobalt arrow]

yeah

[shut crater]

and can you show the whole joker just so we can see easier

[cobalt arrow]

of course

[brazen tusk]

assuming G.play.cards would work with cardarea == G.play then?

[cobalt arrow]

    key = 'bombardino_brainrot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Bombardino Crocodilo',
        text = {
          'When a Joker is sold,',
           '{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance of creating',
           ' a {C:attention}Italian Brainrot Joker{}'
        },
    },

     atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y= 1},
    config = { extra = {odds = 3} },
    rarity = 2,

    effect = nil,                                          
    soul_pos = nil,

         loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
          local odds = card.ability.extra.odds
          return {
             vars = { G.GAME.probabilities.normal,
             odds
             }
            }
            end,

    function(self, card, context)
      if context.selling_card  then
        SMODS.add_card {

          set = 'Joker',
          area = G.jokers
          
        }
      end
    end```

[shut crater]

you didn't put calculate = before the function!!!

[cobalt arrow]

BRO HOW I MISSED THAT

😔

sorry chaseoqueso

[shut crater]

lol all good

[shut crater]

I would try removing the cardarea check completely

[cobalt arrow]

trying again now

IT'S WORKING CHASEO

adding the randomness now

[shut crater]

based on the current code I think it will probably still create jokers if you sell consumables

you should test that

[naive raptor]

i need help with a joker effect. when the joker is triggered, i need the game to pick either seals, enchancements, or editions, and then apply a random one of the chosen modifer onto the current card

[shut crater]

what did you do to trigger the crash

[cobalt arrow]

added the randomness code

[shut crater]

something something G.P_CENTERS

but I'm not at my pc rn so I can't check specifically what you're looking for

[shut crater]

honestly idk

[naive raptor]

also how does pseudorandom work? what does it output?

[brisk rose]

isn't there a smods buffer pool for the in_pool ones of these things?

just in case

[shut crater]

maybe, not something I've worked with before

[shut crater]

a number between 0 and 1, but seeded

[naive raptor]

alright

[cobalt arrow]

sorry, the game opens normally, but when I sell a joker it crashes

[shut crater]

can you show the full crash log

[naive raptor]

how many decimals?

[brazen tusk]

working now tysm!

[shut crater]

that's a question for someone who actually knows lua

[naive raptor]

lol ok

[shut crater]

idk how lua stores floating point numbers

[cobalt arrow]

It's kinda massive, how i send it?

[daring fern]

Paste it in?

It'll auto send as a file.

[smoky seal]

Sorry If I'm being stupid again. How can I get the fake joker to trigger on every hand.

I can see it loaded but want to make it fire every time a hand is played.

[daring fern]

You mean before the hand scores?

[smoky seal]

Whenever, before or after. I just want it to trigger. I am just testing my first fake joker

The right image is in my collection, not my current deck. I presume I need to tell the game to add it

[daring fern]

Replace context.joker_main with context.before?
