[smoky seal]

Nope, nothing

[shut crater]

what is the overall goal?

[red flower]

never made a dummy joker but I'm assuming you need to add it to a hidden cardarea and add it as a calculation area to SMODS

[naive raptor]

how do i apply a random enchancement to a playing card?

[smoky seal]

I'm just trying to learn the basics of joker calculations. I just wanna understand the mechanics.

[cobalt arrow]

here @shut crater

[red flower]

use set_ability with SMODS.poll_enhancement

[naive raptor]

would that work for seals and editions? i know they use different functions

[shut crater]

are you adding the joker to your jokers area?

[shut crater]

I'm actually not sure

[hexed heath]

hmm just had a joker idea, x0.1 for every achievement in balatro unlocked

[smoky seal]

I guess not, from what I was given, all I see is that it's registered. The main lua file just includes the jokers so I assume that's all you need (basically my first image) https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L1728C5-L1730C8

[hexed heath]

time to cook

[red flower]

iirc it's set_seal and SMODS.poll_seal and set_edition and poll_edition (no smods)

[cobalt arrow]

metalinguistic joker!!

[shut crater]

yeah but to get the joker to score the player needs to own one

[hexed heath]

lol read that as "metal linguistic" instead of "meta linguitsic" at first

[red flower]

that adds the joker to the shop and packs to buy but you need it in the area to do stuff

[smoky seal]

I was under the impression that a "fake joker / dummy joker" is one that fires universally

[shut crater]

do you want the basics of how jokers work or do you want to figure that out?

there is no concept of a fake joker in vanilla as far as I'm aware

[red flower]

you need to do this ^

[smoky seal]

Earlier I mentioned that I found it difficult to know how to do universal events using the main Game:update loop. Someone said people use fake jokers. I guess as a way to have better context for the game (idk).

[smoky seal]

Oh I see. This info is like gold dust. Apart from the SMODS wiki and here, are there any more general docs on Balatro modding methods?

[red flower]

Not really no

[smoky seal]

Oof

[red flower]

I learned all of that by reading the code and being here

[smoky seal]

That's impressive

[naive raptor]

why is this throwing an error

[smoky seal]

Are you missing an end on line 5?

[red flower]

card:set_x(key)

[thorny lion]

i need to go make a mod actually it seems fun and cool

[red flower]

also the poll things are functions

they're in the smods docs

[naive raptor]

which page?

[red flower]

utility

[buoyant merlin]

How can you get the localized name of a joker?

[thorny lion]

someone should pin docs or something idk

[buoyant merlin]

Well, modded joker in particular

Vanilla "name" variable works fine with vanilla, but is just the key on modded

[red flower]

localize{type="name_text", set="Joker", key=key}

[smoky seal]

Okay, I guess I gotta go find an example of a dummy joker. I don't wanna clog up this with crappy questions, should I start a "Darren is dumb" thread lol

[naive raptor]

do i need to define local card? or does context.induvidual do that

[red flower]

context.other_card

[naive raptor]

instead of context.induvidual

[red flower]

I would look at Victin's mod

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1343670935122870342

[brisk rose]

does anyone know if it's normal for the debugplus console to close when you run things?

and then you have to reopen it to see the output

it's annoying for eval

[red flower]

no, it's a value in context.individual

[brisk rose]

it's that what that 'show new log messages' or whatever setting is for?

[smoky seal]

Ohh. I didn't know of these other game refs you can use.

[red flower]

i think so?

[daring fern]

Why does no_edition not do anything when using SMODS.create_card/SMODS.add_card?

[red flower]

it does for me, why?

[buoyant merlin]

Thanks!

[naive raptor]

i just found out i mispelled "enhance" as "enchance" like 7 times in my code

[smoky seal]

Wow, all it took was this

[cobalt arrow]

how I make a joker spawn table to SMODS.add_card ?

[naive raptor]

this line keeps crashing my game if pseudorandom('wildfire') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.enhance_odds then

"attempt to perform arithmetic on field "enhance_odds" (a nil value)"

[naive raptor]

the error is on line 425

[shut crater]

yeah I was gonna suggest hooking, but it wasn't clear what you were trying to do lol

[cobalt arrow]

oh chaseoqueso... I fixed the crash

I don't know how

[red flower]

oh weird

[cobalt arrow]

but it worked

[smoky seal]

Sorry haha. I'm the kind of person to find out how to do whatever I wanted, just so I know how I can take full control of the game. Instead, I should just build my mod and tackle things as they come

Now for adding text to the UI 🙃

[red flower]

hmm i cant get one to spawn
maybe some mod breaks it?

[hard flume]

What are playing cards store as in a global variable

Like G.jokers or G.consumables

[red flower]

G.playing_cards, it's not an area like those tho it's a list

G.deck.cards has the cards remaining in deck

[cobalt arrow]

@shut crater You were right...when I sell a consumable i can create a Joker

what's the best way to correct it?

[brisk rose]

because it's annoying to have to reopen the console

that's all

it might be that one setting

lemme try it

[red flower]

oh that wasnt a reply to you lol

[brisk rose]

oh, it seemed like something thought it was too

based on their reply

lol

oh i guess not

sorry i'm blind

I just saw all the blyw text not going away but that was dioderent blue text

so yeah my b

[red flower]

yeah

[cobalt arrow]

can I specify context.selling_card to be jokers only?

[red flower]

context.card.ability.set == "Joker"

[cobalt arrow]

it'll be like context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker"?

[red flower]

ye

[cobalt arrow]

thanks

[split saddle]

hello and sorry for interrupting and wall of text, but i can't comprehend contexts and the docs aren't helping a whole lot. specifically, i want to see the cards that are being played and iterate through them to run a func, before scoring. i haven't been able to do any progress because i can't debug anything:
tried sendTraceMessage(context.scoring_hand) which crashed the game. tostring didn't help a lot and just printed table 0xhexvalues
I think i'm on the right track but it's hard feeling in the dark without proper docs and not a lot of lua experience
thanks for coming to my TEDTalkthe help :>

[red flower]

Try downloading debugplus and using print

But if there's anything particular you want to know about contexts I can help

[split saddle]

sure, thanks

[split saddle]

get back to you in a bit

[cobalt arrow]

What is the best way to create a Joker pool to SMODS.add_card?

[red flower]

So a pool of specific jokers? Is it always the same?

[cobalt arrow]

only specific jokers can appear in the smods.add_card

[brazen tusk]

how does one juice a card?

[red flower]

can you elaborate?

[red flower]

card:juice_up()

[cobalt arrow]

I have a Joker that when you sell a Joker, it have a chance to create a Italian Brainrot Joker...

[brazen tusk]

ty

[red flower]

if the pool is always the same then you can make a SMODS.ObjectType and call SMODS.add_card{set="objectypekey"}

[cobalt arrow]

oh ok

SMODS.ObjectType what are the codes for this?

[sonic cedar]

hey so my unlock isnt working? as in the joker isnt unlocking. for people that weren't here earlier, the joker is supposed to unlock once you beat crimson heart 10 times (i have it set to 1 for testing, but once the run was won no unlock happened?)

[red flower]

it's in the docs

[red flower]

try return true instead of unlock_card

[sonic cedar]

got it

so wait it's because of how it's set up?

cause i used unlock_card on the others and they work

but since the way this unlock works unlock_card wont work?

am i getting it?

[red flower]

oh then no idea never messed too much with unlocks

[marble flint]

I suspect you don't want crimsonCount on G.GAME (which only lasts for one run before getting fully reset)

[sonic cedar]

it's a variable that shouldnt ever reset

since it's for an unlock

[marble flint]

yeah, G.GAME is reset in Game:start_run() (meaning that variable gets clobbered)

[sonic cedar]

😭

[cobalt arrow]

like this?

[sonic cedar]

what should i do instead?

[marble flint]

something with profiles, idk

i've never manually saved data in this game before

[red flower]

no, the key is for the name of the object type, like Joker or Tarot

[red flower]

G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile]?

[cobalt arrow]

so like this?

[red flower]

yeah, i think so

[cobalt arrow]

and them the SMODS.add_card is this?

[brisk rose]

I don't think this is what objecttype is for? I thought it was for adding entirely new types of objects

not sets of existing ones

but maybe not

[red flower]

it might need a modprefix but i dont remember

[red flower]

it is

[raven forge]

aaa I was away sorry

[sonic cedar]

oh hi youre fine 😭

[raven forge]

I was just surprised is all, people giving varying advice, ha

[rare obsidian]

can someone help me with shaders and editions and such

[raven forge]

it's very chaotic in here

[sonic cedar]

i could always open a thread if it's too much lmfao

[quartz ravine]

Is crimsonCount in the base game? I've never seen it. I am not sure how you would persist a new global variable like that over multiple plays

[raven forge]

but yeah, just set it directly on the profile table G.PROFILES[G.settings.profile] or whateverwas stated

[sonic cedar]

it is not

[quartz ravine]

I know all about it

[edgy reef]

Generally speaking it's for making a set of objects you can pool through using get_current_pool.
It can be used for completely custom ones that aren't consumables, and also a subgroup of already existing ones.

[brisk rose]

I mean... you just add it to the profile

like they're doing

the profile is just a table and you can inset a new index just by defining it

so that's not the issue

[sonic cedar]

wait am i not doing that already

[quartz ravine]

Maybe try echoing out the value of g.game.crimsonCount, see if it is being preserved. It looks like you're setitng it to nil in one of those snippets you pasted, I'm not sure why you're wanting to do that'

[low parrot]

Hellooo, i'm trying to make a joker that converts every hand played into High Card, but i'm a little bit lost as to how to do it ;;

[rare obsidian]

https://discordapp.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1365420874269720630 can u help here so its less noisy lol

[brisk rose]

wait... isn't it G.PROFILES[whatever].crinsomcount?

putting it in the game state won't work

[raven forge]

to be clear: the only thing you actually need to set/check is the value in G.PROFILES[G...].

it saves automatically

[brisk rose]

though it doesn't write to file automatically, it must in normal gameplay but not in debugging

[raven forge]

oh right, I keep forgetting. listen to them

[raven forge]

you won't be able to do that through smods alone. You can patch get_poker_hand_info I think
EDIT: are you trying to turn the hand's ranks into something? or make every hand count as the hand type High Card

[sonic cedar]

ok so i have this in my main file right

[brisk rose]

G.FILE_HANDLER.force = true```

these are the commands to save it to file for debugging purposes, but i think they run wheber a run is exited anyway

so you shouldn't need them in the actual finished code

[queen scroll]

under functions > misc_functions, there's a function evaluate_poker_hand that decides what poker hand any given hand is. just hook to it and check if the player has your joker, and return high card if so

[raven forge]

sorry Teso, might have named the wrong function

see ^

[low parrot]

ohhh okay, i'll try that, thanks

[raven forge]

you shouldn't even need that line if you're using the or 0 trick; in fact you might be overwriting the value w/ 0 each time the game's loaded

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok

[cobalt arrow]

How I make SMODS.add_card only add cards from an ObjectType?

[sonic cedar]

wait but im doing that in a game function, and i need it to not be G.GAME... unless that doesnt change anything?

[queen scroll]

i was gonna ask, is there anything new in steamodded that organises jokers that have variables which change every round, like mail-in rebate, or is it still the vanilla code?

[red flower]

organizes in the collection? or what do you mean

[raven forge]

they added a function you define on your mod object I think

try checking docs, I can't recall the name

[red flower]

SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals

?

[queen scroll]

organizes as in they're not all seperate functions in state_events

[split saddle]

it's kind of annoying to reload the game every time when it takes so long but oh well...
how do you destroy a card? is there a specific function for it?
for i, v in ipairs(scoring_hand) do will iterate through all the cards in the scoring hand. v is the pointer to the card, right? that means this is the parameter to pass into the function for destroying cards, i think.

[red flower]

yeah this

[low parrot]

So i should use the context before the scoring like this?
if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
I'm new in this thing of modding and I'm guiding myself with things like this

[sonic cedar]

wait but doesnt initgameobject use G.GAME? does that mean i should take it out of igo, since it's a profile statistic i want to track?

[red flower]

v:start_dissolve() BUT don't do it during scoring, use context.destroy_card for that

[raven forge]

yes, you don't need to set anything in G.GAME. and yes, take it out of igo. sorry I wasn't clear before: just use the profile variable like any other, it'll be saved

[queen scroll]

contexts are used to decide when jokers trigger. your joker doesn't trigger as such, it just has an effect on scoring, so you don't need a context check

[split saddle]

what happens if i do 😟

wait i will try it xdd

[red flower]

it creates ghost cards

[sonic cedar]

and then also replace these (left) with this? (right)

[split saddle]

wait like they're in the deck but destroyed?

[red flower]

yeah

[split saddle]

schrödinger's King of Hearts

[brisk rose]

the cheese gote is so back

cheesyjokers is high on my lsst of mods I'm curruntly missing real bad due to not being updated in months

so idk how well it works currently

only months and not a year because elbe is also a gote

[low parrot]

ohh okay, thanks, i'll try to do what i can, srry if i'm annoying with my questions hahaha

[split saddle]

wait, how do i use it again? is it a function that i pass params onto, or do i call it onto the card object?

[raven forge]

you're overthinking things; the profile variable is a variable like any other, and as a bonus, it's saved! just pretend G.GAME doesn't exist

[red flower]

it's a context similar to individual where you can return { remove = true } to remove the card after scoring

[split cairn]

does anyone know how to make a consumable that changes a playing card's suit to a different one? i've been trying to make a consumable that changes up to 5 cards to Spades suit like The World tarot

[sonic cedar]

oh so

[split saddle]

i'm still kinda lost... 😅 i don't really understand contexts other than gamestate ones

the smods documentation kinda lacking rn

[raven forge]

that'd be G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].crimsonCount instead

[sonic cedar]

i knew it 😭

ok there

[red flower]

here's an example 🙂 https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/3adf02fc6d7f47f50d9fb2e26cf24e8873630866/src/jokers.lua#L1438

[raven forge]

I really should bookmark that and tell it to everyone. you've made a great resource

[red flower]

thank you ❤️ I still need to finish some stuff first but I was planning to see if we could add it to the smods examples

[split saddle]

wait you're telling me there's a whole repo for ALL the vanilla jokers translated into smods?!?!?! and i'm here working with nothin!!?!?!?

i'm going in goodbye

cya in an hour 😆

[brisk rose]

no

it's onlu like 5

[red flower]

i made it this week : )
some cards might be wrong tho i still need to test them more

[brisk rose]

oh

you did the thing

why didn't you advertise it?

I knew you were working on it

[red flower]

my mod has 350 jokers of course i can make half of that in a week

[raven forge]

alright I'll get it into smods now-

[red flower]

i still need to finish some things like i said

[wise walrus]

might be useful to pin both smods and vanilla translation cards to the channel tbh, who has the ability to pin messages?

[hard flume]

How do I check that a card is of a specific suit again?

[brisk rose]

only modds, egg is our pinning mod

[wise walrus]

it can wait until stuff is finished ofc

[queen scroll]

ok so they do have a method but they didn't incorporate the vanilla jokers into it 😮‍💨

[brisk rose]

he might be up for it

[red flower]

card:is_suit("Hearts") for example

[brisk rose]

but yeah when shit's finished

[unborn bay]

card:is_suit(suit)

[sonic cedar]

are you gonna fusion dance with bepis once it's ready

[unborn bay]

FUCK

i was beaten to it

[red flower]

why bepis

i want to fuse with aiko

[sonic cedar]

dont tell me you forgot

[red flower]

i did

whats the joke

[brisk rose]

speaking of fusion, an entirely different type, i need to work on DeFused

it'll be a bitch for me, a very new coder to port it to 1.0

[raven forge]

to be clear: this will alleviate the headaches of countless people which is why I'm putting in a link (with a wip disclaimer) in the smods wiki. Are you ok with being linked?

[red flower]

of course! thank you

[sonic cedar]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[red flower]

I'm probably not doing it myself but I might push other people to contribute the other object types, I'm mostly only comfortable with jokers for now

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/GayCoonie/DeFused

https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/Fusion-Jokers

Can someone look at this and tell me how much of a bitch it'd be to get the jokers in DeFused that aren't in Fusion to the standards of the current Fusion code base?

[weak brook]

anyone know if patches like this can work with other mods that arent smods? if so what does 'SMODS' in the target represent, like what would i replace that with if i wanted to patch another mod
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'

[red flower]

target = '=[SMODS Cryptid "path"]' works for cryptid for example

[weak brook]

thats how that works?

[red flower]

yeah

[brisk rose]

ofc, for the jokers in Fusion I'm just gonna use those and re-DeFuse them, because it's quick to do

[weak brook]

is "Cryptid" the mod id

im confused by that part

[red flower]

i think so yes

[split cairn]

how can I stop the negative edition from inverting colors? can anyone help with this?

[brisk rose]

drawsteps? probably

idk though

[split cairn]

idk what that means

the drawsteps

[brisk rose]

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

[brisk rose]

any takers?

not to do it for me ofc, just to tell me what I'm in for

[quartz ravine]

Just want to say that I had not heard of Fusion Jokers before and I think it's a great idea! And I also like the art I'm seeing in your repo as well Coonie

[brisk rose]

it isn't mine, it's just other related fusion mods

and me defusing their jokers

the repo's mine I mean, just not the art or even really the code

I just wanted to play with the jokers from fusion mods without having to deal with the fusion mechanic

[quartz ravine]

Wow this page looks great! https://itayfeder.github.io/Fusion-Jokers/

I really regret already using my github.io site

[shell timber]

thanks, i made the template for that

https://notmario.github.io/balatrowebsitetemplate/

[brisk rose]

was just gonna say, lol

[brisk rose]

https://gaycoonie.github.io/DeFused/

I used the template to make one for the DeFused jokers too

[brisk rose]

you can have one for each repo?

https://gaycoonie.github.io/Coonies-Mod-Pack

[quartz ravine]

Ohhhh now I had no idea!

Thank's again!

[brisk rose]

np :3

[brisk rose]

this is all the content from a very very old version of my modpack

made with @dense jasper 's card exporter

[quartz ravine]

I was wondering how you made it, it is really good looking

[brisk rose]

which uses a modified dyanmic form of notmario's template

[quartz ravine]

I like how this is the semi-official Mod style

[brisk rose]

unforutnately the card exporter mod no longer works, so I can't make one for my new modpack

[brisk rose]

yeah, lol. it's a really good way to make a mod site

[quartz ravine]

We scared off everyone else.

[brisk rose]

nah, it's chill, lol. the chat always does this

[iron haven]

oops

[brisk rose]

was gonna say

lol

[quartz ravine]

Why is it always you two!

[split saddle]

nope, i'm still here just minding my business...
anyways, the thing is WORKING!! as INTENDED!!!! it just lacks the same oomph as castle. here's the problem. the joker destroys cards and upgrades from it. but right now, it upgrades first and then destroys the card which isn't pleasant to look at. instead, it would be better if it upgraded in tandem with the cards being destroyed. I think it has something to do with events but haven't managed to make it work

i feel like i have the blood of this chat in my hands now 😳

[split cairn]

is it possible to make jokers or consumables add consumable slots? if so, how?

[shell timber]

look at extra credit's forklift

[raven forge]

yep, events can do what you want. but it's not a one size fits all solution, you'll need to code a bit

[split saddle]

i think i'd like a crash course on events... tried following the documentation to no avail :(

[raven forge]

events in the game mostly just run one after another. in Balatro all the scoring math happens before all the animations do because all those calculations were just creating events which run later.

For your case you'll need to know blocking and blockable; if your event is blockable it'll wait until the previous blocking events are all done. You'll need to make one of the events (upgrading or destroying) have blockable = false

Actually you kinda want to start upgrading when the cards get destroyed; you probably want to create an event to upgrade when the cards get destroyed, say

[gusty sequoia]

What's the smods thing like change_base but for making something an enhancement?

[raven forge]

uh, it's getting complicated. sorry there's not really an easy way to do things

[raven forge]

that'd be set_ability (vanilla)

[gusty sequoia]

Thank you

[split saddle]

yeah, i figured

i'll put it away for now, maybe i'll come back later when i've {E:1,C:edition}improved my skills{}

[sonic cedar]

IT WORKSSSSSSSSSSSS HAHAHAHAHAHAH THANK YOU GUYS

[hard flume]

Hi yall! Might have something to show off soon:3

[quartz ravine]

Hope it's cool!!!

[hard flume]

I've gotten buttons working on playing cards, but for some reason, I can't get them working on a specific suit.

[quartz ravine]

Weriddd

I had no idea a booster might pick a locked card!

[hard flume]

I'm trying self:is_suit AND card:is_suit, neither work

Do I need to say it needs to equal true?

[red flower]

can i see the code

[spring thistle]

I'm trying to get the first bow joker in the joker slots to detect when an arrow is used, but firstBow is returning nil. What is wrong?

[red flower]

hmm that looks like it should work
are you sure the key is correct?

[hard flume]

Do I use the regular key or card_key?

[red flower]

it should be modprefix_suitkey

[brisk rose]

so, I'm trying to debug elbe's old exporter, and there's a crash which says that this function from balatro plus is being passed an integer for "args" when it expects a table. I can definitely see why it expects a table, but not sure if it's balatro+ or the card exporter that's doing something wrong

[red flower]

try card.config.center.isBow

[spring thistle]

okay

[brisk rose]

here's my whole log from that try

[nocturne delta]

what command could i use to increase the joker slots through the game’s console? i’m not a dev, just messing around

[spring thistle]

it works! thanks. I'll look into why in a bit

[brisk rose]

type help in debugplus

or download debugplus if you haven't

[red flower]

when you add a value to the SMODS.Joker directly it adds it to the center, not to the card
if you want it on the card it needs to be in config

[quartz ravine]

Does Lua really not have a native where function!

[nocturne delta]

i mean yea makes sense

[brisk rose]

sorry if you did and joker slots aren't one of the things built in

[split cairn]

is there a way to make the "Sword & Shield" part appear on a second line?

[spring thistle]

thanks

[hard flume]

Could it be an old SMODS bug cuz I have yet to update mine?

[nocturne delta]

no but one of the mods I installed directly lets me execute commands into the game’s console, allowing me to do basically anything

but since i’m not a dev, it’s basically useless

[red flower]

no idea, maybe

[quartz ravine]

Wow, this is an incredible idea

[brisk rose]

what does where mean?

[brisk rose]

is that not debugplus?

[red flower]

not normally, you need to patch the code for that or use generate_ui as far as I know

[brisk rose]

or do you mean like... cryptid code cards?

lol

[quartz ravine]

where is a filtering clause

jokers.where(x=> x.unlocked == true)

[brisk rose]

yeah you just have to iterate

which is how a lua where would work anyway

[rustic swallow]

why does this show "1 in nil"

[split cairn]

dang

[quartz ravine]

Wow, I am so used to working in fully developed languages, I imagine lua is one where you'd actually have to implement a sorting algorithm too

[brisk rose]

I mean you can just make your own where function? as i said it'd just be iteration even if it was in built

[red flower]

did you start a run again after updating the values?

[brisk rose]

because of how lua tables work

[quartz ravine]

if you modified a variable value, and an instance of the joker / card was already in your inventory, that instance will not be updated. Try giving yourself a new copy of it

[rustic swallow]

it also shows like that in the collection but ill try

[nocturne delta]

nono it’s another mod, but yea i’ll try debugplus

[brisk rose]

from what I understand at eleast

[brisk rose]

curious what mod you mean ngl

[quartz ravine]

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm only used to being pampered!

[rustic swallow]

i started a new run and it still shows nil even though i gave it to myself

[red flower]

here's how I do it in my mod if it helps
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/card_ui.lua#L260

[hard flume]

Nope, but. Wouldn't it crash if it was an issue with the key? It's not crashing, it's just not appearing on ANY suit. Which is weird.

[nocturne delta]

entropy, it’s an add-on for cryptid and it adds something called « inversed code cards »

and turns out the inversed « crash » code cards straight up gives you access to a menu where you can type any command, and it’ll input said command into the game’s console

for example : add_joker("j_joker")
would create a normal joker

[nocturne delta]

so i’m curious what else it could do

[quartz ravine]

You did restart the game too, right? You have to do that. DebugPlus only updates art atlases, it doesn't check for card loc var changes

[red flower]

i dont remember how is_suit works but it might just check if it's equals and not if the suit exists

[rustic swallow]

yes i restarted the game

[red flower]

did you save the file? i honestly have no idea looking at the code

[hard flume]

I did save the file but

Idk what could be the issue either

[red flower]

oh i was saying it to Dantuch0
i dont know what the issue with yours is either no

[quartz ravine]

oh god. This has happened to me too

[rustic swallow]

yeah i saved the file

[brisk rose]

ah yeah that's its own thing

[quartz ravine]

Could you be working on a copy in a different directory?

[gusty sequoia]

How do I make set_ability actually work, because so far it just crashes for being a nil value

[brisk rose]

you'd have to ask the dev what the commands are, though they're probably listed somewhere

[quartz ravine]

show me what you're trying?

[nocturne delta]

ohh yea ok i get it

[brisk rose]

might just be the debugplus console ngl

[red flower]

card:set_ability("m_gold") for example

[hard flume]

No, other changes to the mod render

[gusty sequoia]

I'm starting to see what my issue was

[quartz ravine]

Maybe you have two copies of this joker in your files? Last man standing wins

[brisk rose]

any ideas on this?

[gusty sequoia]

I'll be right back

[gusty sequoia]

M refers to the enhancement?

[hard flume]

No, no. I'm adding buttons to a suit, but it's not working for whatever reason

[red flower]

yes

[gusty sequoia]

Mkay

[hard flume]

I added the buttons normally, but now that theyre restricted to only appear on a specific suit, it's not working

[quartz ravine]

very weird. The same thing would happen if you mistakenly had two items using the same key. Something I did once

[red flower]

if you print(card.base.suit) what does it say

[brisk rose]

I thought that's what watch was for? like... including for code

[gusty sequoia]

I think I might have figured out my problem but I'll know for sure when it's done

[brisk rose]

oh nvm

it can't

because it's patched in

[wooden nexus]

Odd question for load_file

[gusty sequoia]

Andddd it's still a nil value, I'll write the relevant code

[wooden nexus]

Is there a limit how deep i can have a file?

Like can i have a folder in a folder and then smods can see it?

[gusty sequoia]

I bet my code itself is also wrong

[brisk rose]

path limit is 256 characters for load commands i think

[red flower]

yes for this but idk the limit
might be path name limit on windows or something

[brisk rose]

the path length being a single byte is interesting

[wooden nexus]

I see. idk why smods is being weird then

[red flower]

does it crash

[wooden nexus]

No it just doesn't load

[brisk rose]

are you putting the right command to load?

[quartz ravine]

omg, I am just so happy with how this card turned out

[timid parrot]

I mean the path limit on Windows is by default 256 characters lol

[brisk rose]

SMODS.load_file(path)()

[wooden nexus]

assert(SMODS.load_file('versions/addons/potassium.lua'))()

do i need the assert?

[brisk rose]

makes sense

[wooden nexus]

The goat

[red flower]

no that should work

[quartz ravine]

You have to activate him by playing the G.Game.to_do_hand and then he deactivates at the end of the round. I got it to flip sprites too!

[gusty sequoia]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event{(trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1, func = function() SMODS.set_ability(G.hand.highlighted[i], 'm_spinnyenh', nil);return true end }))

[brisk rose]

@quartz ravine shouls make yugi a goat because of the animal theme of the mod

[red flower]

the assert is just so it crashes if it doesn't load it

[brisk rose]

goat sona yugi when?

[rustic swallow]

this is really weird

[wooden nexus]

It's in the location, so idk

[brisk rose]

don't "that's not yugi" me btw

[quartz ravine]

Yugi is my only non animal card!

Well...like, one of very few non animals

[brisk rose]

I don't give a fuck

[brisk rose]

lol

[brisk rose]

this was in case it was not yugi technically but whatshisnuts

idk yugioh

[red flower]

do you have an extra config somewhere? idk

[brisk rose]

haven't watched it since i was like 5

[wooden nexus]

But yeah, I'm adding some mod support/ports and i still have no idea why

[brisk rose]

well what i said would fix that :P

[rustic swallow]

ok that was the best response ever i somehow missed i had 2 loc_vars

[naive raptor]

anyone know what could be causing this?

[red flower]

if you add a print to the potassium file does it work

[gusty sequoia]

I feel like it's probably rude to ask for help again so fast, but does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

[wooden nexus]

What just putting "print("banana")"

[red flower]

yeah

[wooden nexus]

lemme look

no

loaded the game and no print

[red flower]

hmm

[red flower]

it's not SMODS.set_ability

[gusty sequoia]

oh of course ;-;

[wooden nexus]

is it because i have smods.atlas commands in Potassium.lua?

[red flower]

G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability

[gusty sequoia]

Thank you

[timid parrot]

so I haven't modded the game in 5 months and suddenly a bunch of my old inject code is no longer working (SMODS shenanigans). How would I go about making a boss blind destroy cards after scoring (similar to glass, 6th sense, etc.)?

[red flower]

no, i have atlas in mine too and they work

[gusty sequoia]

I hope this works

[wooden nexus]

all i did was try to port the enhancement from Potassium

[red flower]

blinds can now have calculate functions so you can use context.destroy_card

[timid parrot]

oh nice

[gusty sequoia]

This time it didn't even give me a crash message ;-;

[timid parrot]

what does "card" represent in that case? the blind instance?

[red flower]

i think so? i havent used it yet lol

[wooden nexus]

odd, the enhancement doesn't load in the normal one either

[timid parrot]

time to find out lol

[quartz ravine]

Oops, I just noticed that I forgot to turn this test off

[gusty sequoia]

so what does the crash without a crash message usually imply...?

[red flower]

if the game closes then it's usually a stack overflow

[hollow sphinx]

trying to make a joker that makes a random joker holo, but I want it to not target jokers that already have an edition (im not sure what to put for it to recognise that the jokers have an edition)

[gusty sequoia]

I see

[wooden nexus]

oh i'm an idiot

i put smods.enhancement = {}

instead of SMODS.Enhancement ({})

I think that's my issue

[red flower]

if not v.edition

[hard flume]

Nvm! It was Prism messing with something

[hollow sphinx]

thx

[gusty sequoia]

The last thing it did before that crash thing was spin the card half-way, so I'm not entirely sure, but I think the problem might now be with the spin thing

[timid parrot]

new calc is great. Works like a charm

[wooden nexus]

Oh come on game

[gusty sequoia]

I'm also starting to think my SMODs needs an update

[quartz ravine]

You fixed your 1 in nil error? Awesome!

[red flower]

different person

[wooden nexus]

Almost perfect

[cobalt arrow]

Doing a Collection of Consumables based in Epic:The Musical, trying to mix with Arcana Cards art style...did this fits it?

[gusty sequoia]

for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function() G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_ability(G.hand.highlighted[i], 'm_spinnyenh', nil);return true end })) end end }

I don't know what, but something here is causing the stack overflow that N mentioned

[raven forge]

you have a colon there, so you don't need G.hand.highlighted[i] a 2nd time?

[keen tiger]

whats the difference between G.STATES.NEW_ROUND and G.STATES.ROUND_EVAL?

[gusty sequoia]

You're right

So just take that out?

[brisk rose]

this looks really nice

[gusty sequoia]

It's peak :0

[raven forge]

I recommend just searching for wherever what you're looking for is used in vanilla Balatro.

[wooden nexus]

There we go

[brisk rose]

what is the colon in lua? does lit like... keep the same relative place in a table chain or smth?

[keen tiger]

its very confusing, the state is used sparingly in various weird code sections related to blind disabling and update_hand_played?

[raven forge]

a:func() is the same as a.func(a)

[gusty sequoia]

Okay, now the issue is in a whole different place

I'll figure this out on my own

[raven forge]

it automatically puts the calling table as the first argument. it's for object-oriented call style

[brisk rose]

yeah I can vaguely understand that

haven't done much with functions yet

only tables themselves with the like... 3 debugplus scripts that make up my lua expereince

[brisk rose]

is this a duplicate or a taken ownership card?

[keen tiger]

okay, seems like new_round is a strange transitional state to round_eval/game_over

[wooden nexus]

Duplicate

[keen tiger]

i wonder how balatro's code was ever was able to work on a daily basis

[wooden nexus]

I got permission from MathisFun to port Potassium to Archived's add-on section

[brisk rose]

I kinda forgor what Potassium is

[raven forge]

it sometimes doesn't. well, we all love to criticize balatro's code in modding-dev

[wooden nexus]

The april fools mod that was "1.1"

[gusty sequoia]

I cut the second "G.hand.highlighted[i]" but there's still a problem here, somewhere

[brisk rose]

ah i see

[wooden nexus]

I was a part of it too

[raven forge]

I only just arrived, can you share your full code

[brisk rose]

I happened to be away at that point, from the community and all that

[gusty sequoia]

I guess

[brisk rose]

not for any reason, just unstable hobbies

[wooden nexus]

the badge is to show what version it's from (and in this case Potassium is literally just one version and done)

Also for authenticity, I decided to use custom colors to match that OF potassium's chips and mult for the added content, but may have something for the full mile, idk

[raven forge]

quick tip, triple ``` opens a code block

[gusty sequoia]

This whole process is hurting my brain :(

[gusty sequoia]

Oh thanks

I didn't know that

[brisk rose]

guess i'm gonna do the bump thing

[quartz ravine]

Well, I like it!

[raven forge]

hm, it seems ok on first read. what error are you getting?

[quartz ravine]

I didn't see a terminating error, just some warnings. I'm not sure

[brisk rose]

did you click up in the reply chain?

I posted the function it was having the error on

I really can't tell what all is wrong because of all the failed lovely patches- but one thing to definitely do is go to that line in balatro plus and see what's going on

[gusty sequoia]

I'll check again in a moment

[brisk rose]

i ltierally did

[brisk rose]

this

Does anyone know why the second card destroyed here doesn't create a jack/run the code at all?
I'm using the same method as vanilla (Canio)

[quartz ravine]

The last joker it processed was j_jokerhub_forbidden_fruit @brisk rose

Does that joker do anything odd in it's Loc_vars or loc_txt?

In the call chain, it's trying to append {1:ortalab_greyscale, card_type:Joker}, so I am also not sure but it could be something to do with that edition

@brisk rose sorry I got lost in the replies.

[gusty sequoia]

card.lua:319: attempt to index field 'config' (a nil value)

I have no clue why this is an issue all of a sudden, and it's not even where the thing I'm working on is

[raven forge]

could you say again which line it was?

[quartz ravine]

(3) Lua global 'localize' at file 'C:\Users\Adam\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods/balatro-plus/src/bplus\override.lua:165'
    Local variables:
     args = number: 14
     misc_cat = string: "ranks"
     (*temporary) = C function: type
     (*temporary) = nil

Could be that function is throwing? Maybe try commenting out that one jonkler

[brisk rose]

the line in question is like the second line of that function i posted

[analog spoke]

I'm trying to make this work, but the first value isn't changing and the $ is never earned lol, any help?

[quartz ravine]

I DM'd you btw @brisk rose

[analog spoke]

I'm a slight bit of a noob here lol

[analog spoke]

here's how I tried to do this

knowing me, it's probably a spelling error lmao

[raven forge]

I think I'm going to bow out. apologies

too tired

[gusty sequoia]

It also says there is set_ability at this line which I don't believe there is

[gusty sequoia]

Gouda night

Thanks for the help :D

[brisk rose]

no worrie's it's a bit of a clusterfuck anyway. lotta moving parts

[analog spoke]

for now I think I'm gonna try spriting this thing lol

while I wait for a response

[gusty sequoia]

I can't understand why it would say there's a problem in a place there very much isn't, but for some reason it seems to think there is :(

[buoyant merlin]

Try capitalizing diamonds to Diamonds and spades to Spades?

[raven forge]

is it the capitalization of the suits

[analog spoke]

thank you lol, hehe, it's always a spelling error w me lol

[buoyant merlin]

Yw!

[sleek cliff]

Ok, so it IS scaling, but it prints an "error" message

[quartz ravine]

Do you guys think this is a strong enough joker to use?

not all at once

[sleek cliff]

nvm, I had to add an S

[fair frost]

Hi everyone, sorry to ask but is there a mod creation FAQ or setup guide anyone could point me to?

accidentally made "flashbanged joker" instead of "brown joker" lmao

still trying to figure out what's wrong here, any ideas?

new drop with more stuff and fixed bugs 🙌

[chrome widget]

.....huh

I took ownership of Luchador in order to redo the condition for its badge and... it doesn't prevent the default badge from appearing...?

[brisk rose]

Are you using the same Info queue object or whatever it uses?

[chrome widget]

Yeah

[brisk rose]

Went the same name?

Like as long as all the variables you're using are named the same it should overwrite it

Afaik

[chrome widget]

Since it's a vanilla item, it doesn't have a loc_vars function by default. Instead, its loc_vars are determined in Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table()

But it's...weird to me then that it wouldn't prevent vanilla changes to the description nodes since the modded loc_vars supports doing those itself

[sleek cliff]

oh these are gonna be a BITCH

[brisk rose]

Can't you blank out that function for the card? Prolly boy I'm really new to this but that'd be my intuition

[chrome widget]

I can, but it requires a lovely patch

And I'd like to avoid that

[brisk rose]

Does it? I think there's a way to do it in set_abikity or something

[chrome widget]

Okay no, it should ignore the default one.... which is why it makes this really odd

[shut crater]

Wow that seems pretty strong

But maybe that's just cause I'm coming off of a roffle blue seal video

[sleek cliff]

Maybe lmao

[manic rune]

a

how do i change the size of the card

i think thats the only place i never checked, for some reason 😭

thanks

im sorry little one

[burnt cairn]

with take_ownership() do i have to do anything to specify what file im taking ownership from? or do i just put the key in the brackets like its in the same file

[daring fern]

No, you just put the key.

[burnt cairn]

🫡 thanks

[manic rune]

...why is still the size of a card 😭

its only the hitbox that got changed

[faint yacht]

Is the image aligned to the top left of the "card" on the atlas?

[manic rune]

its only one image

so it should be

[manic rune]

and idk why it still got stretched to be the same size as a card too

its a square 🥀

[daring fern]

You're changing both pixel and display size.

[manic rune]

im not supposed to do that?

[faint yacht]

Using only pixel_size myself.

[manic rune]

:3 i looked into pixel joker's code from morefluff and saw it using both, so i assumed i needed both of them

thanks guys

[rustic swallow]

how would i make this only count all cards as non face cards when the joker is there, currently it always is non-face cards

[sturdy compass]

Wrap the SMODS.find_card call in a next() wrapper

[shut crater]

There is no return true condition

[sturdy compass]

Also you need a mod prefix in the joker key

[rustic swallow]

so i put the mod name _prosopagnosia?

[shut crater]

j_modprefix_jokerkey

[rustic swallow]

should i use caps for modprefix

[shut crater]

You should put it how you typed it

[daring fern]

Not unless it is in caps.

[sturdy compass]

Does your prefix have caps?

[rustic swallow]

yes

ok

[sturdy compass]

Then yes

[shut crater]

Or rather you need to return the original function call after your condition

[sturdy compass]

That assumes it’s a hook

(Which I hope it is)

[rustic swallow]

i think it is

but i still dont know what to return

[sturdy compass]

That looks right

[scarlet thorn]

j_prefix_j_?

[sturdy compass]

But you still didn’t wrap the find_card call in a next() wrapper

[sturdy compass]

Oh true

[scarlet thorn]

Remove the 2nd j_

[rustic swallow]

my key contained j_

so thats why

[brisk rose]

I mean... change that now before you bake it in too much?

[rustic swallow]

k

[sturdy compass]

That’ll get annoying in the future but you do you lol

[scarlet thorn]

You should define the joker with its shorthand

The game auto puts the class and mod prefixes

[brisk rose]

The game in this cause being smods

[scarlet thorn]

Unless you predefined it, or set it not to. But don't do that unless realllyyy neddessary

[brisk rose]

:P

[scarlet thorn]

Yes

[burnt cairn]

crashing due to an unexpected symbol near 'if' on line 19, im pretty sure this is syntactically correct?

[brisk rose]

steamodded is my favorite video game

fr though it does become part of the game by being injected by lovely

and i'm being an ass

[daring fern]

Firstly, that wouldn't do anything if it did work.

[sturdy compass]

That’s not how take_ownership works lol

[burnt cairn]

🦭 not surprised

im still workin it out

[scarlet thorn]

If statement in a table

[burnt cairn]

ive got this other function that seems to do that just fine

is it the calculate that makes the difference?

[scarlet thorn]

That's an if statement in a function

You define the calculate value of the table as a function

[burnt cairn]

an if statement in a function in a table

[scarlet thorn]

And then have the if inside that function

[burnt cairn]

ah i see

[brisk rose]

I also don't think even if you could find where that table is stored in memoey, editing it directly would do anything

but i may be mistaken

[burnt cairn]

im a little bit just making this up as i go along and hoping it works

[scarlet thorn]

G.P_CENTERS

And it does

[brisk rose]

that table being the enhancements original decleation,

[faint yacht]

m_glass?

[brisk rose]

ah fair

[brisk rose]

that is the enhancemt's key yes?

afaik

[scarlet thorn]

I've iterated over pcenters, and got custom code running on every joker like that

[burnt cairn]

line 651 of game.lua

[scarlet thorn]

That's valid

[faint yacht]

take_ownership('glass' is mentioned there.

not m_glass.

[scarlet thorn]

That's also the one specified to be working

[burnt cairn]

fair

though the crash is unrelated to that line though

[scarlet thorn]

"ive got this other function that seems to do that just fine" @daring fern

[brisk rose]

if you're editing the table in centers, what is take ownership even doing?

i don't see the point to be doing both?

[daring fern]

Are you trying to say that taking ownership with a prefix doesn't work?

[burnt cairn]

im not really sure

[scarlet thorn]

I'm saying that the code being commented on supposedly works, and you seem confused at that

[burnt cairn]

the other function that does work was made for me so i dont entierly understand it

[brisk rose]

oh i get it, it's justto put the code on the object

[burnt cairn]

i think they just like to 🤔 react to everything

[brisk rose]

which is a place it makes sense to be ig

[scarlet thorn]

I'm on about the❓️ reactions

[burnt cairn]

and the same

[scarlet thorn]

I'm being rage baited

And it's working

[brisk rose]

though wouldn't it make more sense just to be on the joker object?

when the actual modifications to glass aren't treating it as a smods object?

[rustic swallow]

this still makes everything non-face cards even without the joker being present

[scarlet thorn]

What outcome are you trying to achieve with this

[scarlet thorn]

Wrap it in next()

[burnt cairn]

im trying to change the xmult that glass cards give

[sturdy compass]

Bruh

[scarlet thorn]

Lols

[burnt cairn]

ill annotate the code rq to try to explain my reasoning

[brisk rose]

btw even if you are editing the center table directly, you don't have to redefine every value

just the one you're changing

[scarlet thorn]

Oh then setting the value like gc says should work

[burnt cairn]

i assumed that take_ownership was entirely replacing the thing i was taking ownership of

[scarlet thorn]

Nope

Have you made any of your own jokers yet?

[burnt cairn]

a few

none that have involved taking ownership though

[scarlet thorn]

Take ownership is like changing a specific function of a vanilla feature

[burnt cairn]

the more things i try to do the more things i realise i dont understand

[scarlet thorn]

But not everything about it

[rustic swallow]

this?

[scarlet thorn]

Yea

[burnt cairn]

which is what im trying to do

[scarlet thorn]

Yea

[brisk rose]

you could define it in the normal cmods config table

i think

[burnt cairn]

i dont think i know what that is

[rustic swallow]

well now it considers them face cards even though i have the joker

[brisk rose]

like how jokers and other smods objects have a config: {} parameter

[burnt cairn]

ah

[scarlet thorn]

Show your mod.json or header

[brisk rose]

take_ownership is for when you're treating the object as a smods object

i think

[brisk rose]

it's not needed to change the centers table directly

afaik

[scarlet thorn]

Shouldn't be no

[burnt cairn]

so itd be someting like config = "glass.config.Xmult=1.5"?

[brisk rose]

use a json metadata file instead, it's just as easy to make and more modern

[burnt cairn]

that but with actually correct syntax

[scarlet thorn]

Your prefix is xmpl not Exipnos.

[rustic swallow]

ohh

thx

[brisk rose]

it'd be like

SMODS.take_ownership(m_glass)
{Config = {Xmult = }
}

but with the correct syntax

[scarlet thorn]

Xmpl for example

[brisk rose]

:P

[burnt cairn]

🫡

[scarlet thorn]

Change it first, im pretty sure that's the example one

[burnt cairn]

btw, whats the difference between SMODS.take_ownership() and SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership()

[sleek cliff]

Thought I'd change the blue to red for classic villains >:3

[willow plinth]

YO

i really like these

[wintry solar]

The first one is the general one, it takes a prefixed key, the second one is just for enhancements and doesn’t need the prefix

[sleek cliff]

and so many more to come

gotta add some tarots and spectrals for some of them to work as intended tho

[brisk rose]

y'know i don't think I actually like take_ownership for this

[sleek cliff]

Oh dog the moment Jokers are going to be crazy to make

[brisk rose]

you said you want to change the xmult of glass cards when you have that specific joker, right?

[burnt cairn]

yeah

to reiterate im just kinda guessing on how to implement everything

so if theres a better way do tell

[brisk rose]

I'd just something like this in your joker's add_to_deck:
G.P_CENTERS.m_glass.xmult = [value you want]

and change it back in the remove_from_deck

also there may be another layer between P_CENTERS and m_glass

idk

[burnt cairn]

minor issue with that

i plan to have a second joker that sets that value to another different value

[brisk rose]

and if you have voth of them?

[burnt cairn]

the jokers are "glass cards give less xmult but dont shatter" and "glass cards give more xmult but always shatter"

so with both itd probably be "glass cards give more xmult but dont shatter"

[brisk rose]

that's very solvable, lemme think of it for a second, do you have the shattering thing figured out?

[burnt cairn]

only the dont shatter one is implemented at the moment but its functional yeah

[sleek cliff]

ok, are there any examples of adding a planet card?

[burnt cairn]

the heirophant?

[sleek cliff]

no, I mean a new planet card

[brisk rose]

okay then that shouldn't complicate beyond what i'm gonna say

so, let the joker that increases the mult but they always shatter be joker 1 and the other be joker 2

Instead of putting this in the add_to_deck, it can be in the calculate function, You can do what I said there instead, and nothing else would need to be done there. Keep the setting it back in the remove_from_deck. Set it to only do the always breaking glass cards if joker 2 isn't present

For joker 2, set it to only change the xmult if joker 1 isn't present, also do this in the calculate function. And in the remove_from_deck, set it to be normal unless joker1 is present, the same way

@burnt cairn sorry had to edit it a few times

If they're deleted simeltanously this should still work? because there's no way it's literally simaltanious

but definitely test that

[burnt cairn]

im not sure i follow

[brisk rose]

okay, I was wrong about calculate, it should actually happen in update

limme type out a quick, probably malformed example

[burnt cairn]

i have a mental model of the logic of implementing it thats not much of an issue

i just have no idea of the lua / smods syntax

like the always shatter joker sets the chances to 1 in 1 and the never shatter joker removes the shatter check outright

the never shatter joker sets the xmult to 1.5 and the always shatter joker overrides the xmult with a 3

the removing the shatter check is already implemented

[brisk rose]

  {
key = 'joker1',
   update = function(self, card, dt)
    G.P_CENTERS.m_glass_xmult = [new value]
    end,
   remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff
    if not SMODS.find_card('j_joker2' then)
      G.P_CENTERS.m_glass_xmult = [original value]
      end
      end
}```

[brisk rose]

.

[burnt cairn]

🫡

[wintry solar]

Why is that in an update

[brisk rose]

I couldn't figure out the best place to put it besides that due to the interaction between the 2 jokers

joker 2 will only change the xmult if joker 1 isn't present

so i have symetrical design at mind i guess

and i didn't want it to only happen when blinds started

and that's the most general contezxt there seems to be

[wintry solar]

Just give glass a custom calc function

You don’t need to set it every frame

[brisk rose]

I don't like the take_ownership approach as much because it might interfere with other mods

but it's Bev's joker not mine

so they can do as they want

[burnt cairn]

i know how i want to do it i just, dont know how to implement it

[brisk rose]

there's a million ways

[burnt cairn]

i dont care about mod interference i dont plan on releasing this

[brisk rose]

but like.. what is your logic you're after

then give your logical flow and someone can help translate it to lua

[burnt cairn]

and i dont know enough about smods for any of them 🫶

[hybrid shadow]

random question, im new to balatro modding (was more focused on doing the card art for it up until this point) and was wondering if its possible to make a custom rarity that has an effect on all jokers of that rarity, or if id have to manually implement the effect in the code of each joker

[brisk rose]

.

[burnt cairn]

_ _

[brisk rose]

I mean... yeah this is compatible with that

but so is taking ownership of g;ass, though if you even play other mods that might touch glass, even if you don't release this, it might be a pain, but that's just my priorities

the thing is... idk how to rewrite the calculate function for glass

this I know how to do, lol

[burnt cairn]

so what ive got is
SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('m_glass', { SMODS.take_ownership(m_glass) m_glass = {max = 500, order = 5, name = "Glass Card", set = "Enhanced", pos = {x=5,y=1}, effect = "Glass Card", label = "Glass Card", config = {Xmult = 1.5, extra = 4}}, })
im just after the syntactically correct way of implementing this

[brisk rose]

it's the function you'd need to change

not the values in G.P_CENTER

to do it that way

[hybrid shadow]

i mainly just want to have a gros michel-like destroy function for that rarity

[burnt cairn]

does that need to be its own rarity

it could just be like a sort-of-category-but-not-really like food jokers

[hybrid shadow]

i mean i dont wanna clog up the descriptions of the jokers

theyre already conditional as is

[burnt cairn]

fair

[brisk rose]

what eremel wants you to do is this

{
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    write shit here
   end
}

[burnt cairn]

🫡 sweet

[brisk rose]

but you'd have to figure out, from the perspective of the glass card, how to do all of this

which i don't know

and what context to use

[burnt cairn]

ive got half an idea

ive been looking around all the glass functions and shit ill get there

[thorn flame]

am i cooking?

[brisk rose]

hi anyone know how to localize with different language a mod, i know that is with a localize folder but it doesnt work

[burnt cairn]

am i missing something

[daring fern]

SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('m_glass', 
    {
        config = {Xmult = 1.5, extra = 4}
    },
    true
)
```?

[burnt cairn]

huh

what does the true mean here

[daring fern]

So your mod badge doesn't show on glass cards.

[burnt cairn]

ah

the mod badge is the thing that appears when you hover things that say the name of the mod right

[daring fern]

Yes.

Something like this:

[burnt cairn]

yeah

[burnt cairn]

its working 🫡 thank you

its a joker, trying to work like Midas Mask

give random enhancement and seal

Your keys are wrong, they need prefixes

[daring fern]

You need to add m_ to all strings in the table.

[toxic flicker]

ts...

[brisk rose]

Wait

[faint yacht]

...wouldn't SMODS.poll_seal be easier?

[brisk rose]

Why are the enhancements hard coded

[toxic flicker]

...this is a thing?

im gonna lose it bro

where are you guys getting ts

[brisk rose]

Why is any of this hard coded? All it does is limit it to vanilla stuff

[daring fern]

The documentation?

[toxic flicker]

😦

i just didnt find it in there ig

rip

[faint yacht]

I just randomly came across it whilst searching through code... I used in booster pack generation of playing cards as local _seal = SMODS.poll_seal({mod = 10})

[brisk rose]

And there's already a table with / all/ the enhancements

[toxic flicker]

gah

[brisk rose]

Ooh enhancements can be polled too

Nice

The reason to poll and not pick randomly from the table that has all them is if they're not pollable there's a reason

I don't think enhancements have weights though

[wintry solar]

It also respects weights and pool checks

[faint yacht]

If not defined, weight is 5.

[brisk rose]

Yeah the pool is mostly what I meant by reason

[toxic flicker]

i cant find ts in the docs

[brisk rose]

Ah they do have weights. Didn't know

[toxic flicker]

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

[wintry solar]

It’s on the utility page

[toxic flicker]

is ts not the docs

[brisk rose]

It is

[toxic flicker]

OH I FOUND IT

i wasnt using the dropdown

the pages dropdown

yippee

[brisk rose]

Yeah there's a lot of stuff :3

[brisk rose]

Hehe its punctuation for me ngl

[toxic flicker]

real

[brisk rose]

Anyway, kitty

My dev partner. Along with all the plushies, lol

[cyan lagoon]

without type ~= string, this crashes when playing cards face-down. how can i fix it?

[wintry solar]

Use hand_chips and mult instead

[cyan lagoon]

G.GAME.current_round.hand_chips?

[burnt cairn]

realised it was applying universally instead of with the joker. tried to fix that and now the joker is back to not changing the xmult to begin with

[wintry solar]

Just the values I posted

[cyan lagoon]

just 'hand_chips'?

aight

[wintry solar]

Yup

[cyan lagoon]

wow, that easy

also, i have a joker that retriggers other jokers and context.final_scoring_step seems to be not retriggerable. how can i fix that?

[burnt cairn]

am i missing commas somewhere i feel like thats the issue

[wintry solar]

It’s because you don’t return anything so the logic doesn’t know your joker has triggered

[wintry solar]

You need to write it as you would write any other calculation, you don’t need to do anything with the config

[burnt cairn]

if i remove the whole calculate and if thing it works completely as intended

except its universal and not tied to the joker

so it shouldnt break just because i put it in an if statement should it?

[wintry solar]

That’s because you’re doing two entirely different things and trying to compare them

[toxic flicker]

this pops up only some of the time and the seals dont ever even show up

[brisk rose]

what is next() doing here? I thought that was to find the joker to the right of the joker you are

[toxic flicker]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        
        if context.before then
            print("TungTungTungSahur")
            scoring_hand = context.scoring_hand
            for i = 1, #scoring_hand do
                local played_card = scoring_hand[i]

                played_card:set_seal(SMODS.poll_seal(stdseal,1,true), nil, true)
                played_card:set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement(std_enhance,1,true), nil, true)
            end
        end
    end

[faint yacht]

oops.

[daring fern]

stdseal and std_enhance should be a string.

[brisk rose]

or am I just reading too much into the name and that's just how find_joker workds?

[toxic flicker]

fak
