[toxic flicker]

shoulds std_enhance also be

ok

[burnt cairn]

i have no idea what it does but when someone else made the glass cards not shattering function for me they included it so im assuming its necessary

ill try without it i guess

[brisk rose]

nah if it works there then it must work here and i'm assuming things

[toxic flicker]

ts still doesnt work

[faint yacht]

next(SMODS.find_card('j_mod_key')) would check if you currently have a specific Joker.

[burnt cairn]

yeah no difference

[faint yacht]

forgot to remove own reply, oops.

-# tl;dr context for the nil score requirement is me trying to optimize DriveSpace.

[brisk rose]

yeaH, I just don't quite understand what next does as a function

[daring fern]

It should be SMODS.poll_enhancement({guaranteed = true}) and SMODS.poll_seal({guaranteed = true})

[burnt cairn]

yeah i just dont understand why adding these four lines stops the code from working even if i have the joker

[toxic flicker]

man

[burnt cairn]

its not crashing its just undoing the xmult change

[daring fern]

It's because config is not in calculate.

[faint yacht]

tl;dr next is basically a check for if you have a given j_mod_key Joker in your slots here.

[burnt cairn]

??

[toxic flicker]

holy fuck it works

i love u bro

kisses

ima give u a smooch bro

u cant run

[hallow relic]

what does create_card() do? i cannot seem to find it in the steammodded documentation

[faint yacht]

SMODS.create_card, you mean here.

[burnt cairn]

im pretty sure it is? unless you mean the SMODS.find_card() invalidates that somehow

[toxic flicker]

OK SIDE NOTE I JUST HIT 3 20$ ON THE LUCKY CARD IN A ROW

WTFFFF

[daring fern]

SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('m_glass', 
    {
        update = function(self,card,dt)
            if then
                card.ability.Xmult = 1.5
            else
                card.ability.Xmult = 2
            end
        end
    },
    true
)
```?

[burnt cairn]

still dont understand how config isnt in calculate

its definitely between the start of the function and the end

[brisk rose]

because this is a declaration

that's whre it really ends up

I mean a constructor, for an object that smods injects into the game in a different format

[faint yacht]

Some objects may not have either a config or calculate field.

[burnt cairn]

i have no idea what that means but ill take your word for it

[faint yacht]

Using such as example.

[burnt cairn]

so would i want to paste this inside the jokers calculate function?

[daring fern]

No, you replace the take ownership with it and fill in the if statement.

[burnt cairn]

ah

[cyan lagoon]

how do i make the added enhancement take effect?

right now the enhancements dont work in the hand they were added

[subtle hawk]

                carded = G.hand.cards[i]
                G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = #G.hand.cards
                G.hand:add_to_highlighted(carded, true)```
I have this piece of code, it works just as intented where I already use it. I wanted to reuse it for highlighting Spades specifically, tried doing `G.hand.cards[i]:is_suit("Spades")` but that results in a crash with `attempt to call method is_suit (a nil value)`
How do I highlight spades then?

[burnt cairn]

this makes the glass cards display 1.5x mult but they still score 2x?

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
    if v:is_suit("Spades") then
      G.hand.config.highlighted_limit = #G.hand.cards
      G.hand:add_to_highlighted(v, true)
    end
end
```?

[subtle hawk]

Oh yeah thanks!

[fading geyser]

Hi, I'm trying to do a couple of things in my mod and just can't figure them out. The first is a context for a joker being destroyed, e.g. giving money when this joker is destroyed. Does anyone know what this context would be?

The second thing is how to create a joker with a mod key, e.g. create a joker that starts with j_cry or something. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

[daring fern]

You mean create a joker from a certain mod?

[fading geyser]

yes

such as cryptid or my own mod

[daring fern]

You would call a context in Card:start_dissolve if the card is a joker.

[faint yacht]

Something something iterate of G.P_CENTERS and checking if a key has the j_cry at the start of a string...

[fading geyser]

so like this?

[daring fern]

No.

[fading geyser]

could you provide an example? I don't think I'm following

[fading geyser]

yeah didn't think so 😅

[daring fern]

local modjokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
    if v.mod and v.mod.id == "modid" then
        table.insert(modjokers, v)
    end
end
```?

[red flower]

any joker or a specific one?

[faint yacht]

-# Or that.

[fading geyser]

a random joker from a mod, preferably not legendary but I have sufficient understanding to modify it in that way.

[fading geyser]

Just needed a template to build off of, which this is helpful!

[daring fern]

local modjokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
    if v.mod and v.mod.id == "modid" and v.rarity ~= 4 then
        table.insert(modjokers, v)
    end
end
local joker = pseudorandom_element(modjokers, pseudoseed('randomseed'))
SMODS.add_card({key = joker.key})
```?

[fading geyser]

yeah that's pretty much exactly what I was gonna do

[red flower]

anyway there's no context for a joker being destroyed

[fading geyser]

any possible work around?

[red flower]

i don't remember which mods add one but I'm pretty sure there are some
the problem is that is not easy to distinguish destroy/sell/remove outside of gameplay

[zealous glen]

See how Paperback or Betmma do it, then write a SMODS PR

[fading geyser]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys. I'll check out those mods. Have a great rest of your day!

[toxic flicker]

yall how do i delete a card

like trading card

[fading geyser]

you can look at the source code

[toxic flicker]

ya but its a lil funny

like

its different

[zealous glen]

Take a look at the wiki

[toxic flicker]

cuz it only works by deleting the whole hand of 1

[toxic flicker]

😦 i cant find

[zealous glen]

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

[toxic flicker]

no like i cant find it in the wiki

[red flower]

what do you want to destroy exactly? a discarded card?

[zealous glen]

It's in that page

just CTRL+F "destroy"

[toxic flicker]

am i blind

ohhh

omg

😭

there it is

[brisk rose]

biting the bullet

[zealous glen]

by the way I made a Joker to reward skipping

[brisk rose]

ayy noice :3

[zealous glen]

I posted her 5 billion times yesterday

[brisk rose]

not bad

[hollow night]

Hi, im trying to make basicaly the Wheel of Fortune, but i dont really understand at all lua/balatro source code, so, how it would be to trigger the joker if Wheel of Fortune applies an edition or not?

i mean basically that when the wheel of fortune does not trigger you get mult

[brisk rose]

and theeere's some good taste

uses the trademarked dark purple and seagreen Coonie color scheme, lol. I guess KastorCode needs sued :P

but I appreciatte the availability

[zealous glen]

Not sure that's doable easily

[brisk rose]

I'vd seen this before

one moment

cryptid has one too

[zealous glen]

I mean it's doable, I just think it's a bit high if it's like your first Joker

[brisk rose]

but cryptid has weird code

[brisk rose]

https://github.com/lshtech/risk-of-jesters

this is "roj"

[hallow relic]

whats the internal name for the soul?

[hollow night]

thanks i will look it up!

[brisk rose]

it isn't just c_soul?

[zealous glen]

The key is c_soul

[next elk]

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

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play 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

}

does anybody know how can i changer this to work like an enhacement? (currently its based on midas mask)

[brisk rose]

        for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            v:calculate_joker({
                wheel_failed = true
            })
        end
    end
end```

loooks like how they did it was a custom context

[brisk rose]

which i wouldn't have known is what this is if it wasn't " if context.wheel_failed" in the actual joker code

so yeah advanced stuff

[unborn bay]

manual calculate joker ,,,,,

[hushed field]

you're not defining scored_card anywhere (nor would it be a function, i don't think)

[red flower]

back in the day we calculated all the jokers by hand

[wintry solar]

That’s certainly one way of tracking wheel fails

[brisk rose]

it's a 1.0 port of a 0,98 mod, which might explain if it does things an old way

[next elk]

i saw it in vanillaremade so i thought it was more like built in

[hushed field]

Somehow the loc_vars remains 0, even if the calculate function does properly gather its info. Does the generate_ui for seals use a fake card?

[red flower]

did you

[hushed field]

Can you link the thread or git again, N? I forgot to save it last time

[next elk]

yes

[brisk rose]

speaking of older ways of doing things, ability.name, lmfao

[next elk]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/8389e4f64e20280df1472a1302365026cf7f0ebf/src/jokers.lua#L2164

[cyan lagoon]

question how do i make return {message} do a different sound?

[brisk rose]

why did thunk do that and everybody copy it for a while?

[red flower]

but you're not doing that?

[hushed field]

you may have misread what that code does and what you wrote in your own

[red flower]

in the docs it specifies how to use sound

[next elk]

i dont know what im doing at all tbh, i figured midas mask code would be similar to what i want to do but i have no clue

[hushed field]

so, compare the loop you've written to that from vanillaremade, and you'll see that you use scored_hand instead of scored_card!

[next elk]

wiki doesnt explain much when it comes to enhancements (or im too dumb and ignore sth obvious)

[hushed field]

the () is also a function indicator

but you're not wanting to access a function

[brisk rose]

like... it might be unavoidable here because of how it interacts with vsnillia ccode actually

[next elk]

oh shit you are right

i must have misread

[hushed field]

not proper terminology, though. But it's what's used to signal you're calling a function, which in your case will not exist and not be defined anywhere

[brisk rose]

I'm not sure the key exists anywhere on the args table being used

but i might be wrong

[next elk]

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

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            for _, scored_card 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

}

is this better?

[daring fern]

No, you need your prefix where m_infected

[next elk]

fair, ill figure that out then, but rn im looking for how to make it behave like an enhancement rather than joker

[hushed field]

I'd test it out, and see what the crash log tells you. If there's no crash log, however, it works! But yeah, you'd need to add your mod prefix

[willow plinth]

what is the easiest way to get the "Mods" directory dynamically? will it always be SMODS.current_mod.path and one folder up or no?

[hushed field]

enhancement's have an effect parameter in their calculate function, is the main difference

this is the set up for one of Kino's enhancements, and you can see that the set up of a simple one doesn't much differ from a joker's. But the best thing to do is generally to set up a template, and check the docs on the smods github wiki and see if you're properly asking for the same parameters. I think without the 'effect' there, it will work, but it could cause strange interactions. I'm not actually entirely sure, though

[next elk]

how do i do prefix btw

do i do this outside the functions or

[wintry solar]

No they don’t

[hushed field]

they don't?

is that old stuff?

[wintry solar]

No

[hushed field]

oh man

[wintry solar]

Not for 5 months

[next elk]

got it thanks

[hushed field]

ah, okay, so that's a remnant of me starting Kino as a project on a very old version of smods accidentally

[next elk]

nvm im dumb

[brisk rose]

why does fusion jokers have.. after the commas in the extra tables?

[next elk]

i forgot about the json

[brisk rose]

oh it's just a space

lol

first time using vscode

[maiden phoenix]

whitespaces

There's a config to automatically remove those

In VSCode you go to File > Preferences > Settings and type "Trim Trailing Whitespace"

[brisk rose]

or i could just do this

[maiden phoenix]

Lame

[willow plinth]

bumperino, lua is a garbage language that doesn't support relative imports, which mods workarounds this the best?

[red flower]

what do you want to do?

also i think the current_mod.path thing should work

[willow plinth]

i want to require a lua file in a sub folder

[red flower]

In your mod's folder or another?

[brisk rose]

SMODS.load_file supports relative paths?

[willow plinth]

yeah but does it support loading stuff into global lua space?

[red flower]

yes

[brisk rose]

everything is in global lua space

lol

afaik

[willow plinth]

okay but SMODS.load_file is relative the mod directory

not the current lua file, right?

[brisk rose]

yes

[red flower]

correct

[willow plinth]

that is, in fact, glorpshit

[primal robin]

glorp

[willow plinth]

but alright lua, i'll jump through hoops again to make you happy you fucking piece of shit language

anyway, thanks for the help

[crisp coral]

what did lua do to you

[red flower]

I think lua has what you want normally, the problem is lovely

[willow plinth]

literally every other serious language supports getting the path of the current file ur in, not just the cwd or the folder the "starting" file is in

[brisk rose]

because you aren't running from the file you're in

whoops meant to remove that

[willow plinth]

from what i've read that's also not really reliable, that whole debug.info garbage

[brisk rose]

but it still might be helpful

also... that thing I sent you to debug literally already does the thing you want?

how did they get it to work?

[willow plinth]

anyway, i'll stop rambling and just accept it (for now)

[crisp coral]

you can fetch the current path with lovely

iirc

[brisk rose]

nvm

they didn't put it in a subfolder

[willow plinth]

only one level "deep" for the json library, yeah

[brisk rose]

i forgor

[willow plinth]

yeah

[primal robin]

[brisk rose]

but this would work exactly the same if it was in a subfolder?

[toxic flicker]

so how exactly does context.destroy card work

ts is not destroying shit

[daring fern]

Return {remove = true}

[toxic flicker]

does that just enable removing?

[daring fern]

No, that tells the game to destroy the card.

[toxic flicker]

cuz i want to remove only one card

oh

so

remove means to remove all the marked cardS?

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1] then return {remove = true} end

[willow plinth]

if ca.lua is in the mod folder root, yeah

but if i'm in items/stuff/yay.lua and want to import items/stuff/yay/util.lua, then i have to do SMODS.load_file("items/stuff/yay/util.lua") which is stupid

[toxic flicker]

so context.destroy_card repeats for each card?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[toxic flicker]

ok thx

[brisk rose]

I mean... i guess? but like... you could just load everything in main.lua and be done with it. it's all in the same place then and you can treat it like one big file

[manic rune]

how do i deal with this

[brisk rose]

so you can do stuff between files no issue

[crisp coral]

do u want to remove it or what

[zealous glen]

Also set card.getting_sliced = true

[manic rune]

i want to change the text and color

but idk where

[crisp coral]

make a new SMODS.Rarity?

[toxic flicker]

wut does that do

[manic rune]

is it somewhere here

oh, thats rarity??

damn im dumb

thanks

[crisp coral]

yes thats the rarity badge

[zealous glen]

It shouldn’t do anything by itself

[toxic flicker]

whar

[zealous glen]

It just marks the card as a card that’s getting sliced

[red flower]

does the base game do this for playing cards, I don't remember

[toxic flicker]

wut does getting sliced mean

[zealous glen]

No but SMODS handles it

[willow plinth]

yeah idk, i like local variables and definite, understandable scopes, but i guess i'm in the wrong language if i'm looking for that

[brisk rose]

i mean... put things in functions if you want locals?

[primal robin]

why you need this in a first place? Just store stuff in global object like everyone else, import everything in main file, and call it a day

[zealous glen]

It just means that it’s getting sliced, but I recommend marking it as getting sliced when it’s being destroyed

[brisk rose]

and then just run the function

[red flower]

how, I didn't see it in the dumps when i was making the mod

[toxic flicker]

o

[zealous glen]

It should all be in Card.can_calculate

[zealous glen]

It’s useful for other effects in your or other mods

[wintry solar]

I dont think getting sliced does anything on playing cards?

[toxic flicker]

oke

[zealous glen]

@wintry solar

[unborn bay]

the relativity only really matters in languages like c# and such because scripts/code on those are mostly self contained

[red flower]

I'm asking because if smods handles it it doesn't matter if they do it manually

[unborn bay]

unlike in lua where basically everything gets added to the damn global table

[zealous glen]

I said that SMODS handles it in the sense that Card.can_calculate checks it, not that SMODS sets it

[primal robin]

Lua is like old JS with var

[red flower]

all my homies love _G

[willow plinth]

bruh okay, let's say i have joker1 that imports it's loc_vars from a subfolder because they are so big
let's say i wanna do the same for joker2

now if i call both of these separated loc_vars the same name, one gets overridden, meaning i can't just dump them into global

[red flower]

ok but i don't think the game uses it with playing cards

[brisk rose]

maybe you could help strmnn. He wants to figure out how in lua to easily load files from other files without having to put long paths

he doesn't want to just load everything in main because he wants locals and stuff with a limited scope

[zealous glen]

And I said you’re right

But SMODS does

[red flower]

does it?

[willow plinth]

no please, i'm already done with this

i've accepted it and i'll just use "absolute" paths with SMODS.load_file

[zealous glen]

It did when I PR’d Card.can_calculate. I know there were timing changes to when Card.can_calculate is called, but I don’t remember that method itself being changed

[wintry solar]

I am 99% sure that it doesn’t use it for playing cards

[crisp coral]

it only matters on Jokers in the same calc step yea

[brisk rose]

god I'd hate to navigate your code without an ide, lol, with it being so broken up, But fair. I can't easily think of a solution for that, nor does it seem like you're looking for one that isn't just being able to do it in a way that most languages/enviorments can but this speicfic implementation of lua can't, which again is fair

[red flower]

i am getting sliced rn

[manic rune]

print(N.ability.getting_sliced)

[red flower]

i dont have ability

[manic rune]

:3

everyone does

else how do you remember things

[red flower]

who are you

[manic rune]

im sorry

[chilly hull]

any reason it shows up as error?

[zealous glen]

It did when I wrote the PR https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/508#issue-2889832016

[zealous glen]

Right now, it seems to at least matter to Seals, which are on playing cards. But I think the part that covers playing cards might be in another file

Since it was restructured

[unborn bay]

wait people localize their poker hand names in joker descriptions

[red flower]

localize(card.ability.extra.hand, 'poker_hands')

[red flower]

that's what vanilla does for some reason

[zealous glen]

Example from the original PR

[chilly hull]

it works now ty, what does the poker_hands do here?

[zealous glen]

As you can see, this is (trying) to run Card.can_calculate on non-Joker cards

[red flower]

it tells it to grab it from the poker hands localization table

[zealous glen]

Although I’m not sure this specific logic was correct

[chilly hull]

i see thank you

[cyan lagoon]

bump

[zealous glen]

You need to apply the Enhancement immediately and not in an Event

If you want it to take effect immediately

[manic rune]

...is this not how i use a custom rarity?

my other mod uses this so idfk why i cant get it working now :3

[cyan lagoon]

so trigger = "immediate" or i just remove the event?

[red flower]

is this an if condition?

[manic rune]

perhaps

[cyan lagoon]

yes

[manic rune]

true

[zealous glen]

Here’s Glass cards being tested for card.getting_sliced

[zealous glen]

Outside the Event

[cyan lagoon]

aight

[red flower]

i mean my point was that vanilla cards don't use it so it doesn't make much sense to recommend it to someone

it could be handled by { remove = true } maybe?

[zealous glen]

I disagree. SMODS already adds utility functions to handle new mechanics that aren’t supported in vanilla

And anything like Quantum Ranks will be the same

I do agree it’s not ideal

But there’s not always a better solution

[zealous glen]

Maybe it could be, I’m not sure

[red flower]

But this makes it so it behaves differently from vanilla in a way that people might not want, so I wouldn't recommend it unless someone needs it

OR patch the vanilla cards that destroy to do it

[zealous glen]

I don’t understand your first point

It should only behave differently in the way it interacts with other modded content

Since vanilla doesn’t use it

[red flower]

If someone is making a joker that destroys you can't assume they want the card to stop calculating too

And if a mod needs the card to stop calculating when destroyed then it has a problem with vanilla

[manic rune]

what the

[zealous glen]

I half-disagree. If the card doesn’t exist, trying to calculate it crashes the game

[zealous glen]

If the card is just going to be destroyed at some further point in time, then marking it as being destroyed isn’t necessarily what you want to do

[manic rune]

do i need to do some extra stuff to actually get rarity working??

[red flower]

I mean I see that, that's why I think it should be added to vanilla cards too

[zealous glen]

But with the destroy_card context, those are simultaneous

There’s not anything that would care

So it doesn’t impact anything except some niche mod interaction, maybe

I’m just teaching other people to do it since it’s not vanilla

[wintry solar]

If I understand how this works correctly, it needs to be auto added to anything being removed in destroy_card so that context.after doesn’t crash

[red flower]

thats fine i just wanted to know if i needed to add it to the example mod

[wintry solar]

There’s no need for it to have to be applied manually to olaying cards

It should just be handled internally

[zealous glen]

Well, if it can be handled automatically then I don’t need to suggest people do it manually. But I didn’t add the functionality for it to be handled automatically

It does need to be handled manually in other timings

[zealous glen]

Actually, hold on

I think aure changed the logic

[wintry solar]

I wouldn’t recommend anyone trying to destroy playing cards in other timings

[zealous glen]

I think cards in the standard calculation pipeline are only tested at the start

[manic rune]

wait

[zealous glen]

I think that change was made to simplify debuff manipulation

[manic rune]

is this a class, not rarity?

[zealous glen]

So context.after might not care either way

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think that’s your type badge

[manic rune]

:3

damn

[zealous glen]

Because by then it’s already too late

[zealous glen]

To be fair, this handles all cards, not only playing cards

[wintry solar]

Yes, I thought it was a property unique to joker type cards

[zealous glen]

In vanilla it’s only set by Dagger and Madness IIRC

So in vanilla yes

As I had said

[manic rune]

HMM

how do i change the badge's text in localization file

[zealous glen]

And thunk manually checks if Jokers are getting sliced to avoid calculating them

[hard needle]

hahahahahahahha thats funny its not like im trying to do that 😭

[zealous glen]

I just automated the entire verification process except marking cards as getting sliced

Because that’s not a verification step

Also as I said I’m pretty sure it has since been fixed and/or reworked to some degree

[wintry solar]

Yes, that’s why I thought it wasn’t for playing cards, as playing card destruction is handled automatically, if getting slice is supposed to be used, it should automatically be added

[manic rune]

i am confused

[hard needle]

for _, held_card in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if held_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra) then
                    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
                    }))
                end
            end

i don't think this is properly removing the cards from G.playing_cards, anyone know why (the context is context.selling_self)

[manic rune]

i have no clue how to even change this badge, hm

[hard needle]

oh sh wait

wait nevermind :sosb

[zealous glen]

I remember badges being in two places

See Consumable Types in the wiki

[manic rune]

oh wait

wait wait

do i use SMODS.ObjectType?

[lavish lake]

if you wanna create a consumable type use SMODS.ConsumableType if not use SMODS.ObjectType or something else

[next elk]

ok, trying to do mods to balatro made me realize that lua is totslly not ny thing and i should stick with rust

[manic rune]

i want to go commit -naneinf 🥀
-# idk how to get this going, theres very little documented about this

[next elk]

steamodded rust version when :3 /j

[spring lantern]

any of yall know how to fix this white outline issue when using pixel smoothing

[manic rune]

that seems to be a bug a lot of mods experience

[spring lantern]

soon as i posted that i remember someone mentioned it possibly being an issue with missing color info

so if i just have a bg layer with a flat color and give it 0% transparency it apparently fixes it but i might be misremembering

[unborn bay]

yeah exactly that

or don't export with aseprite

[spring lantern]

i'm exporting with photoshop lul

[wintry solar]

It’s to do with how you scale iirc

[spring lantern]

hm

i usually just go into image size and double it when exporting the x2 variant and then undo

[manic rune]

can you use loc_txt for SMODS.ObjectType, or is that only for ConsumableType?

[wintry solar]

It should have loc txt

What’s the issue? The badge?

[manic rune]

you guessed it :3

[wintry solar]

label = text

[manic rune]

i

its not name??

[wintry solar]

Not for the badge

[spring lantern]

this made it worse somehow 😭

[wintry solar]

Or maybe it is

I don’t remember 🤣

[wintry solar]

My consumable types seem to use name yeah

I know it’s label on things like seals

[manic rune]

mmm i see

also, just to be sure - my loc_txt should look something like this, right?

because its crashing rn :3

[wintry solar]

Try putting label on the object itself

[manic rune]

wait

wrong place, hold on

do i put that in here, or in localization?

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/GauntletGames-2086/D6-Jokers
this is the only mod I know that uses object types, could look here

[manic rune]

thanks, that should help a lot considering im just blindly doing things and praying that it works now

[wintry solar]

Flowwey also wrote the object types iirc so it’s probably the best place to look

[next timber]

how do i check for if a specific hand type is discarded?

[manic rune]

-# thats not very useful if i have to be honest 🥀

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/88acdf58f0cabba505ea5d237b777fb5516163c0/items/voucher.lua#L196-L211 Have a look?

[spring lantern]

okay so it's exporting wrong? this is meant to be 852 pixels

how the fuck does this happen

the x2 dimensions should be 852x1330 and that's what i'm inputting here

(i have no clue why my photoshop is in spanish

okay so the dimensions are fine now but that didn't fix it lmao

[upper juniper]

doing custom textures on paint rn

[bold sleet]

Hello. I have come here (again) to ask (again) for help on making a custom UI appear when pressing a certain key. Can anyone help me with this? I have read the SMODS page about UI structure and I still haven't been able to figure out how to work it out.

[upper juniper]

appart for making textures i have 0 clue

my codding is rusty

[bold sleet]

ono

[hard needle]

how do you check if the player is in a blind

[crisp coral]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[zealous glen]

What kind of UI

[bold sleet]

You press a certain key, then buttons appear as some kind of overlay, that's the idea.

[zealous glen]

Buttons where

[bold sleet]

..on screen? I don't know where else they would appear.

[next elk]

how difficult would it be to recode steamodded to rust

[manic rune]

good luck

[bold sleet]

You press a key, then a menu, like idk, the collection, settings, etc appears.

[next elk]

well that sure isnt motivating

[zealous glen]

On cards, on menus

[bold sleet]

On menus.

Not attatched to anything.

[zealous glen]

You can make a keybind that opens a menu

[bold sleet]

...maybe also that later.

[bold sleet]

Yeah, but how do I do just that?

I got the keybind part down.

Menu function is what I don't know how to.

[zealous glen]

There are examples in the game

[bold sleet]

-# that doesn't help me

[next elk]

okay nah but rly lua is so not my thing

[upper juniper]

ms paint my beloved

[next elk]

if someone does a balatro rust framework i will pay them a dollar

maybe even 2

[bold sleet]

so help maybe?

[brisk rose]

I mean.... you'd have to basically write a rust to lua cross-interpreter

lol

[next elk]

okay ill pay 2.5 dollars then

[brisk rose]

cause the game runs on uncompiled lua code

[cyan lagoon]

first round joker has a custom menu maybe that'll help

[brisk rose]

it's compiled at runtime

[next elk]

2.5 dollars is what i can do

[bold sleet]

what?

[cyan lagoon]

first round joker mod

maybe the code there can help

[bold sleet]

Already did that.

[brisk rose]

lmfao

[cyan lagoon]

ah dang

[bold sleet]

Already have done jokers, enhancements, consumeables

I am not that new to this.

I just don't know how to make a menu appear when pressing a given key.

[brisk rose]

though if you do know rust maybe you can help @gaunt thistle develop lovely

it's the runtime injector we use

[cyan lagoon]

that mod has a custom ui when pressing a key.

[brisk rose]

and is written in rust

[red flower]

overlay menu or something that pops up like the debugplus tab?

[next elk]

aughhh

[bold sleet]

Exactly.

[red flower]

which one lol

[bold sleet]

Just a menu UI whatever that appears upon pressing a certain key.

[red flower]

i have one in my mod

[bold sleet]

I got the keybind ready, not so much the function that makes the menu do appear.

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/card_ui.lua#L581

[daring fern]

Why is the changing sprite slightly delayed and is there a way to make it not delayed?:

[brisk rose]

just have the code use time travel, duh

[brisk rose]

where are you running this function?

[daring fern]

It runs when any context is calculated.

In a joker's calculate function.

[cyan lagoon]

how do i create jokers with stickers?

[brisk rose]

likely explains the delay

you'd have to put it in update an live with it running every frame

if you wanted instant

[gaunt thistle]

transpile Lua to rust, job done

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker", stickers = {"sticker1", "sticker2"}})

[daring fern]

Yes, but how would I tell the update function what to change to?

[brisk rose]

I don't quite understand the question, but i'm sure it's a valid objection. I just don't know shit about functions yet

I imagine if something is valid for literally every context, it's always valid, but there ae probably outliers i'm missing

[cyan lagoon]

how do i make it add a custom sticker? i set it to modprefix_key and didn't add anything

[daring fern]

It should be: SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker", stickers = {"modprefix_key"}})

[cyan lagoon]

that's exactly how i did it

[runic pecan]

Would you say "Card with highest rank in scoring hand" or "Highest ranked card in scoring hand"?

[cyan lagoon]

maybe something wrong with the sticker?

[carmine roost]

1 feels right but raised fist's description is very similar to 2 except it's "lowest ranked card held in hand"

[runic pecan]

So maybe "Highest ranked scoring card"?

[carmine roost]

sounds good

[daring fern]

What if you did ```lua
local card = SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker"})
card.ability["modprefix_key"] = true

[cyan lagoon]

gimme a sec

there we go

thanks

but it show an eternal sticker and ERROR where the sticker name should be

why does this cause a crash?

[unborn bay]

did you mean card.children.center

lmai

[cyan lagoon]

alright it works now but play the 'remove' sound like a billion times

[runic pecan]

May I get some naming suggestions?

[brisk rose]

imaginine naming yourself after thunk's shtty way of finding objects

also, there's a new full release of the smods beta

unrelated to the crash

[cyan lagoon]

good to know

[next timber]

is it possible to check what the hand type of a discarded hand is? like what would have been showing as the hand type just before they pressed discard

[cyan lagoon]

you may or may not need a 'discard cardarea' optional feature

[daring fern]

No.

[cyan lagoon]

aight, i tried

[daring fern]

You mean like burnt joker?

[next timber]

oh yeah i forgot about burnt

yeah

[brisk rose]

    key = "burnt",
    unlocked = false,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,
    pos = { x = 3, y = 7 },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.pre_discard and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used <= 0 and not context.hook then
            local text, _ = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)
            return {
                level_up = true,
                level_up_hand = text -- TODO: this crashes, seems to be an SMODS bug?
            }
        end
    end,
    locked_loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { 50, G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats.c_cards_sold } }
    end,
    check_for_unlock = function(self, args) -- equivalent to `unlock_condition = { type = 'c_cards_sold', extra = 50 }`
        if args.type == 'career_stat' and args.statname == 'c_cards_sold' then
            return G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats[args.statname] >= 50
        end
        return false
    end```

Here's burnt from vanilliaremade

Though I guess it crashes, lol

[red flower]

^ it doesnt anymore i just removed the comment

[brisk rose]

Oh yeah I read looking at that commit

You sent before

Forgot to go to main

[brisk rose]

    key = "burnt",
    unlocked = false,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 8,

            return {
                level_up = true,
                level_up_hand = text

            return G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile].career_stats[args.statname] >= 50
        end
        return false
    end
}``` 
Here's the current one

Idk if any changes were made but just in case

[runic pecan]

Is this substitution correct?

[red flower]

it will be called for objects other than jokers but it seems to makes sense so yeah

[brisk rose]

what are you doing that needs a patch?

[runic pecan]

bump

[runic pecan]

I needed a way to alter their cost

[brisk rose]

and the patch does?

[brisk rose]

you can't need a patch for that

but i may be mistaken

[runic pecan]

To be honest, I wrote this patch in an early time before I learned how to hook, so there may or may not be a better solution to this.

[brisk rose]

I'm not even sure you need a hook?

Well you might, just to get the shop items

before they load

[runic pecan]

The probability needs to roll at the moment the transaction happens.

[brisk rose]

oh i seeeee

it's not a displayed price

it's a gamble thing

[runic pecan]

Yup, emphasis on the word "Gamble" in the joker's name "Medical Fee Gamble".

[brisk rose]

well.... can't you just put the if context.buying_vouucher check in your joker's calculate?

or the update?

I'm pretty sure there is a context for buying an item from the shop even if it isn't called that

but maybe not

[runic pecan]

Vanilla game does not have context.buying_voucher

[brisk rose]

yeah i remembered that

[runic pecan]

You're thinking of context.buying_card

[red flower]

buying_card doesnt count vouchers?

[brisk rose]

and that doesn't work on vouchers?

[pearl jacinth]

how do i get the current played poker hand

[runic pecan]

In Card:redeem(), G.jokers.cards[i]:calculate_joker({buying_card = true, card = self}) is after ease_dollars(-self.cost), hence the need of the patch.

[red flower]

makes sense

[red flower]

in calculate?

[pearl jacinth]

yes

[red flower]

context.scoring_name

[runic pecan]

But now I re-read the code, I think I might be able to make a hook instead...

[brisk rose]

yeah you can definitely just hook card:redeem() then

but I'd try to do something stupid like making a context based on detecting if it's ran, lol. pretty sure only vouchers are reedeemed, but also like... also pretty sure that's the same thing

I just dislike any unessacary use of hooks and patches because I'm traumatised from running 70 mods at once

and seeing dozens of patches fail whenever I load my game

maybe hundreds

[next timber]

is it possible to have a joker make a hand go entirely unscored? like no score from hand type, no joker triggers, enhancements, absolutely nada

[brisk rose]

it's a miracle the game and mods still seem to work fine

but then there's the crashes when they don't

[brisk rose]

yeah you can just set the score to zero after all other scoring

or use the "this hand won't score" code bosses use somehow

but it'd be more fun to see it count and then... nope

you should even use the Nope! loalization

[next timber]

lol

but nah that wouldnt fit quite right cause it is actually charging up the joker with the non-scoring hand

[red flower]

i think i saw some mod do it

you can just try remove_from_hand and see

[wintry solar]

You can make every card not score yeah

[runic pecan]

Yup, simple as that.

[wintry solar]

But that would still have joker effects and the hand type scoring

[hard flume]

How do I destroy cards outside of calculate? I'm trying to get a card to destroy itself in a hook I'm doing, so it doesn't appear in two areas at once

[brisk rose]

there's efinitelya mod with jokers that act on the final score

[next elk]

damn, i finally figured out what i can do with rust in balatro

[next elk]

Updater/update notifier

[brisk rose]

I mean... helping with lovely was a legit suggestion

[brisk rose]

that'd be cool

[next elk]

honestly im not THAT good with rust, i understand it and all but i dont want to commit to being some omega rust programmer

[wintry solar]

Oh yeah you could modify the final score easily enough

[hard flume]

bump

[brisk rose]

it seems like hands also have a debuff parameter?

or os that only there if a blind uses it?

[red flower]

card:start_dissolve()?

[brisk rose]

I figured this out trying to track down what blinds that have hands not score do.... they just set hand.debuff

[brisk rose]

at least that's all I'm seeing here

[buoyant merlin]

Bumpppppp

[hard flume]

GIVES THIS ERROR NOW

oops didnt mean all caps

[hushed field]

Because you return in the for loop

[hard flume]

huh, waitr. it isnt an issue with my mod

[buoyant merlin]

Ohhh that would do it wouldn't it............ Me dumb..........................
Thanks!

[native zinc]

why .

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me where to see the full list of functions such as add_to_deck, calculate and so on?

[native zinc]

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

[cyan lagoon]

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

[native zinc]

they said add_to_deck and calculate

[cyan lagoon]

there's some usefull stuff too

[frigid blaze]

Actually I meant the full list of features that were given to you there is no update function so it is not a complete list

[native zinc]

there is no complete list

smods docs incomplete

[native zinc]

add to deck and calculate are also not functions

they're in here though

[frigid blaze]

Okay, but what are the other options in a case like this

[native zinc]

??

they're in the API methods

[brisk rose]

i mean... they kinda are? at least they're index keys for functions

you put functions in them

[native zinc]

ieh.

they're not exactly callable

[brisk rose]

no, but they're called as functions when they're meant to be, because they're functions, just not reusable ones

but i'm being pednatic ig

[tall wharf]

this is correct right

because apparently it is crashing with some other mods i just wanna make sure it's not my fault

[limber blaze]

that seems correct

[quartz ravine]

TFW your kids are playing games on your Steam account so you can't test your balatro mod

[faint yacht]

🐴 ...did you try launching it directly and not via Steam?

[long sun]

hiya! this Joker doesn't do anything, and am debugging that

[quartz ravine]

👀 wow I did not think this was possible

[long sun]

it looks like it's an issue with next(get_lowest(context.scoring_hand)) == context.other_card:get_id() (i removed :get_id, since it was complaining that i was calling that on a number value)

it's meant to retrigger the lowest card, if the played hand is a Junk

the Junk detection works, at least ^^"

[quartz ravine]

I wonder if there is an iconic Ghost Card from YuGioh I could integrate into my mod. I have a Ghost Rare edition, a nod to Yugioh that mtues the palette of the card and tries to make it look shiney like those cards

But there's nothing in my joker set to reward this edition. I really like jokers who synergize with card enhancements

[quartz ravine]

Here's how I retrigger all cards for a new custom hand I added,

You could use the same sort of context combinations to apply your effect to the lowest scoring card too

[long sun]

oh, i only wanna retrigger the lowest card, that's the bit that isn't working

otherwise, with Splash, every card would be retriggered 3 times ;)

[rare obsidian]

does any1 know how to write shaders?

[quartz ravine]

Hi again Seth

[rare obsidian]

hi fox

[faint yacht]

Are you iterating through the scoring hand with a temporary table of your own with table.sort?

[long sun]

oop, nvm, i got it to work ^^

if context.repetition and context.scoring_name == "phanta_junk" and get_lowest(context.scoring_hand)[1][1]:get_id() == context.other_card:get_id() and context.cardarea == G.play then

turns out, next() wasn't correct here

iirc it returns the key, not the value

oh it returns both

right

well, what works, works :)

[flat sorrel]

it's negligible but you should put trivial conditions like the cardarea check before more complex conditions like the check starting with get_lowest, so it can fail faster

[wooden nexus]

Was trying to port the marble joker effect to calculate

[long sun]

i'm pretty sure i've written this incorrectly, what should it be?
context.other_card.ability.config.h_x_mult

i'm trying to get a value from a Ghost Card's config

[cyan lagoon]

question how do i pass a variable into G.P.CENTERS?

[wooden nexus]

What is trying to call juice_up? to make this break?

[shut crater]

card_eval_status_text
You're passing in self instead of card

[wooden nexus]

oh thanks

I forgot i needed to change that when porting from Source to SMODS

Should the context be "if context.setting_blind and not card.getting_sliced then"

or is that fine for self?

[red flower]

checking for* card.getting_sliced is not needed in calculate

[shut crater]

You should (basically) never use self in calculate

[shut crater]

Idk what getting_sliced even is

[long sun]

okay, putting Will-o'-the-wisp aside for now, this Joker doesn't do anything either

it should retrigger all unscored cards

but, it's not

[red flower]

you should add it before destroying a joker so it doesnt calculate

and other jokers dont try to calculate on it

[long sun]

can you see why? my SMODS is on the latest version

[red flower]

maybe unscored cards cant be repeated? im not sure

[long sun]

i think this was working before, though

unsure

[wooden nexus]

So then I should put... "if context.setting_blind and not getting_sliced then"?

I mean it currently works

[red flower]

just if context.setting_blind then

smods checks for it automatically

[wooden nexus]

ok

Well now i can easily recreate marble joker if i wanted to

[split saddle]

how does Wraith set your money to zero?

[wooden nexus]

search for the code with notepad++, that's how i do it

[split saddle]

i mean, in the context of smods code of course

i think the right question would be, how to set money to zero using smods

[shut crater]

I don't think there's a different function for smods

I think it's just ease_dollars

But also I've never done a money effect so I could be totally wrong

[split saddle]

ok then. how do you use ease_dollars?

[native zinc]

G.GAME.dollars

[split saddle]

G.GAME.dollars = 0?

[shut crater]

Look at how vanilla/other mods do it

[tall wharf]

pretty sure shaders are dark magic

[split saddle]

it's kinda hard to check how vanilla implements modding api since... yknow

[shut crater]

Good thing I offered two suggestions :)

Is this a joker you're trying to implement?

[split saddle]

yeah

[smoky seal]

What's the best way of messing with mods without affecting my normal save file?

I am developing a mod but don't really wanna accidentally ruin progression

[split saddle]

i'm making custom jokers from reddit as practice

one could say tracing for practice xdd

[shut crater]

You could try returning negative dollars in the calculate function

[shut crater]

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

Here's a modded equivalent of golden joker
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/64936206517d5cc132b14a117c15e1473e460a06/src/jokers.lua#L2628

[split saddle]

funnily enough i'm already on those pages

[shut crater]

So you could try something like

  dollars = -G.GAME.dollars
}```

Idk if that would work

[red flower]

it should

[shut crater]

But could be worth a shot

[gusty iron]

i know ive probably missed more, so if theres anything that increases your hands/discards, please tell me :)

[analog spoke]

how would I make this effect? (ignore awful loc, lmaoo hehe)

[split saddle]

it was crashing because of a typo i had earlier, but now it works

thanks guys :D

[hot drift]

Merry Andy

[shut crater]

burglar?

[native zinc]

...the discard voucher??

[gusty iron]

well firstly, to do randomness, psuedorandom("blablablabl") genereates a random number between 0 and 1, so to do a 1 in 4, you would check if its less than or equal to 0.25

[shut crater]

Don't do 0.25, because that won't allow for oops all 6's

[shut crater]

Check this page to see how they do probability

[gusty iron]

oh yeah im used to making things incompatible with it my bad 😭

anything else i need to restrict?

[shut crater]

Look at other mods to see how they give tags but I think that part is pretty straightforward. The harder part will be destroying after 4 triggers, which will require you to store some kind of triggers variable and increase it by 1 each time it triggers, then destroy the card once it reaches 4

[gusty iron]

you could also look at the diet cola joker

found it

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = (function()
                        add_tag(Tag('tag_double'))
                        play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random()*0.1, 0.8)
                        play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random()*0.1, 0.4)
                       return true
                   end)

[red flower]

it's like add_tag(Tag(key))

yeah

[shut crater]

[analog spoke]

I've been looking around, and I think I've got the main part down, all I'm missing is the chance and the destruction parts

[gusty iron]

OH BOY I LOVE SUFFERAGE!

[analog spoke]

also, omg, I need to favorite this, this sounds so useful lol

[shut crater]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/64936206517d5cc132b14a117c15e1473e460a06/src/jokers.lua#L949

[analog spoke]

thank you, I'll look into this

[shut crater]

I also love my right to vote 🇺🇸 🦅

[gusty iron]

i think this challenge might be possible

[shut crater]

(suffrage joke)

[gusty iron]

i literally could not beat ante 1 what the hell 😭

[shut crater]

Very kind of you to give the player a discard

[shut crater]

This makes sense

I feel like this challenge is made or lost in the first ante depending on your shop luck

[gusty iron]

true

[shut crater]

My professional opinion as someone who has not played the challenge

[analog spoke]

there's so many red lines you'd think there was a fire 😭

[split saddle]

using dollars = ... gives a text prompt, is there any way to disable it?
is there a table with all the G.C colors?
whyyyy do you have to spell colour?!?!?!

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#named-colours-dictionary-gargsloc_colours

[analog spoke]

what on earth 😭

[shut crater]

Ok so if you return, none of the rest of the function will get run. The function ends immediately. So don't return first, do other stuff first.

Your parentheses and brackets and ends do not all line up, which is the main cause of all the errors

[analog spoke]

ahh okey

[shut crater]

If you want the tag thing to happen first you can do that part first just don't do it in a return

[gusty iron]

made a voucher template, if anything looks wrong, please do tell.

[split saddle]

whoops, sorry but i didn't get an answer for the first question... :(

[shut crater]

You'd probably have to do it without the return statement then

[gusty iron]

how would i make it so that things from booster packs get added to your consumable slot, and not immediately used?

[shut crater]

You can try adding message = false to your return statement but there's an incredibly high chance that will cause a crash

Could be fun though

[dull sage]

I'm at my wits end here. I'm needing to apply seals to cards to test them, and I have this function to assign the seal to all cards in my hand (triggered by another function via a keypress). But I'm always getting the "attempt to index a nil value" error when triggering the function. What am I doing wrong?

[shut crater]

You can apply seals to cards using DebugPlus

If you're only doing this for testing purposes

There's also a good chance that everything about your function works perfectly fine and you're just passing in an invalid seal key

[spring socket]

where do i pull the current round from?

[smoky seal]

Can I get some UI help? I wanna add some text above the deck overview area. How's best to do this. I assume I can reference the parent in the node but can't find how to do it. I'm trying to reference the game dump to see how it's done natively but I can't seem to make sense of it

[dull sage]

1. I didn't know you could do that with DebugPlus
2. My slash key doesn't seem to be opening the console anymore

[split saddle]

how does create_playing_card() work? what are its parameters?

a link to a ref page would help

[worthy stirrup]

how do i make it so a consumable cant spawn in a shop until a voucher is redeemed?

[shut crater]

in_pool

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

[worthy stirrup]

should the in_pool in the consumable or the voucher?

[dull sage]

Well I've found out how to set the seal of my card but keybinds aren't working

[shut crater]

Consumable, and then the voucher sets some global variable to true

[worthy stirrup]

okay, got it

[shut crater]

That I cannot help with, I'm afraid

[worthy stirrup]

how can i insure the global goes back to false with a new run

or does it do that by it self

[dull sage]

Ah I figured it out, my keybind function was stealing all the keybind listeners. Now I've got it working

[shut crater]

Store it in G.GAME

[worthy stirrup]

got it

[shut crater]

That'll also ensure it gets saved to the run

[worthy stirrup]

but now, i domt know how to store it in game lol

[shut crater]

Literally G.GAME.variablename = true

[worthy stirrup]

oh

i didnt think it would be that simple

[shut crater]

Yeah lol

Also I think best practice is to include your mod prefix in the variable name when doing this

[worthy stirrup]

good idea

[shut crater]

But not technically required

[analog spoke]

how do you do the loc for chance? I'm looking at the gros michel loc and made something but it has a few Nil values for some reason, even tho I think I matched what gros michel was doing

only just realized I coded the effect wrong lmao

[worthy stirrup]

Does anyone know why this still allows for the objects of power to spawn in the shop?

[maiden phoenix]

1. I doubt G.GAME.OOPspawn will work if you init it here
2. in_pool takes a boolean as a return value, not a table

(also you can just do return G.GAME and G.GAME.OOPSpawn)

[worthy stirrup]

wait, where should i init OOPspawn

[maiden phoenix]

You're already doing it in your voucher I just saw, it's fine there

[worthy stirrup]

oh

weird effect, im now only getting Jimbo in the shop

[maiden phoenix]

Tho tbh it wouldn't be needed, you can just check if your voucher was redeemed using G.GAME.used_vouchers.v_modprefix_voucherkey

No need for an extra G.GAME var 👍

[worthy stirrup]

oh, that sounds handy

[split saddle]

what do i put into poll_seal(options = ) so that it only gives gold seals?

[red flower]

you don't, poll is for when you want a random one

just use "Gold"

[maiden phoenix]

check the func set_seal

[split saddle]

set_seal('gold')?

[maiden phoenix]

*Gold

It's case-sensitive

[split saddle]

the documentation is very convoluted for me :<

[maiden phoenix]

Also you need the card at the beginning

[worthy stirrup]

i accidently coded "Oops! All Jimbo!"

[maiden phoenix]

Card:set_seal('Gold')

[split saddle]

that i have

[maiden phoenix]

Yea but it's better to specify so you don't just do set_seal 😅

[split saddle]

what about enhancements? what is the function to use?

[worthy stirrup]

should i be doing this?

  in_pool = function(self, card)
    if G.GAME.used_vouchers.v_CTRL_Hotline then
      return true
    end
  end
}

[split saddle]

also is there a page with the reference for all available functions?

[maiden phoenix]

Card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_enhancementkey)

[maiden phoenix]

I'd recommend checking this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua

Should have most of them

[red flower]

honestly just go through card.lua

if you use vscode you can see all the functions

on the side

[worthy stirrup]

okay, ive got the cards to not spawn, but they are just now spawning jimbos, should i just lower spawn rate and forget about it or can i the jimbo overpopulation

[split saddle]

alright

[maiden phoenix]

Aren't there issue if you don't return false afterward? I think a boolean must be returned no matter what iirc

[worthy stirrup]

im not running into any issues

ill try it tho

[analog spoke]

is there a way to do a "message" without using a return? I know that "return" kinda stops things in their tracks

[maiden phoenix]

Check the func card_eval_status_text

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "message"}, card)

[keen tiger]

what could be causing smods to just not find any mods despite them being in the same Mods folder as smods?

smods runs and then just cant find anything

[maiden phoenix]

Didn't know this allowed it to be simplified

[keen tiger]

okay for some reason puting the mods inside smods for some reason will cause it to be detected?? huh?

[next timber]

im confused, this is only printing the 1 joker that has the ability.extra.exploded_trigger set to true, but every joker with a context.after is triggering? (the code here stops a hand from scoring if you have the exploded joker and play high card, then does its own stuff)

[runic pecan]

I need naming suggestions for a voucher.

Wait, nvm

[analog spoke]

thank you, this was helpful

my destruction effect isn't working tho, lol, something isn't working right, I assume cause, once again, I grabbed a return effect and tried to turn it into an effect without return

I grabbed this from gros michel at some point lol

[keen tiger]

<@&1133519078540185692> @snow summit is a gift card scammer

[keen tiger]

i seriously need help here lol, for some reason smods stopped registering the mod again and no no matter where i put it smods refuses to use it

i have no idea whats going wrong, smods is just being busted

how can i force smods to read a mod at a particular location?

oh wait its because im using a symlink so i dont have to duplicate my mod twice over

[shut crater]

you don't need to init it because lua evaluates nil as false

so it not existing and it being false are essentially the same

[shut crater]

also you're returning true or false inside a table, but I think you're supposed to not do that

[analog spoke]

this is my crash from this btw

I know I'm probably just missing something incredibly obvious here, but that tends to be my major flaw lmao, even if I DO know how something is supposed to be done, my brain just skims past things sometimes lol

[shut crater]

you're using self

never use self

[analog spoke]

didn't know about this, lol, grabbed this event straight from gros michel, as I wasn't sure how to make a destruction effect work

[shut crater]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L945

don't copy vanilla, copy this if you're going to copy anything

[analog spoke]

😭 that's where I got it from, lol

[shut crater]

o

apologies for not using my eyes

[analog spoke]

here

[red flower]

oh oops

[analog spoke]

line 962

[shut crater]

yeah I see it, it probably has something to do with the fact that this is in an event and yours is not

but also probably just doing card:remove() is sufficient

[red flower]

not it's because im dumb

[shut crater]

rip

[red flower]

i needed to test how much of that event was necessary anyway

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[shut crater]

once upon a time I went down to rabbithole of cardareas and I think card:remove removes the card from the cardarea as well

[shell timber]

by this do you mean like

[red flower]

yeah it should

[shell timber]

you have rarity X. all X jokers give X2 mult or something?

[hybrid shadow]

smth kinda like that, more exactly the effect is a chance of being destroyed at the end of round

[shell timber]

i don't think there's a way to have something run based on a joker's rarity? maybe you could have a separate hook that checks at the end of round and does that all manually

[split cairn]

how can i make a consumable change a playing card's suit?

[quartz ravine]

Hi folks, anyone have experience with DrawSteps? @daring fern gave me a sample but I really am struggling

I have a deck called goldDeck which is selectable as b_Fox_goldDeck, I'm trying to apply the Foil shader to it.

    SMODS.DrawStep({
        key = "editiondecks",
        order = 5,
        func = function(self)
            if self.area and self.area.config and self.area.config.type == "deck" then
                -- following here is a horrendous mod compatability line
                local currentBack = not self.params.galdur_selector
                        and ((Galdur and Galdur.config.use and type(self.params.galdur_back) == "table" and self.params.galdur_back) or 
                            type(self.params.viewed_back) == "table" and self.params.viewed_back 
                            or (self.params.viewed_back and G.GAME.viewed_back or G.GAME.selected_back))
                    or Back(G.P_CENTERS["b_Fox_goldDeck"])
                if currentBack.effect.center.key == 'b_modprefix_key' then
                    self.children.back:draw_shader(
                        'foil',
                        nil,
                        self.ARGS.send_to_shader,
                        true
                    )
                end
            end
        end
    })

[shut crater]

probably you would have to put that in each joker's calculate function, but you could probably write is as a function and call it in each joker so you don't have to rewrite it over and over

[hybrid shadow]

like smth that checks all jokers in the joker area and apply the chance of destruction to each joker of (X) Rarity?

[shell timber]

yeah

[hybrid shadow]

how/where would I write the function

[quartz ravine]

Call the card:change_suit('Hearts' || 'Diamonds' || 'etc) method

[shut crater]

You could just put

local destroy_rarity_check = function(card, context)
  do the stuff
end

anywhere in your main mod file

[hybrid shadow]

ah, ok

[shut crater]

(I assume you will need both card and context for your function to do what it needs to do, which is why I put them as parameters)

[hybrid shadow]

im completely new so idk if ill need both or not yet, thanks for the help anyway

[split cairn]

do you know of any mods that have consumables that do that so I can try to understand how it's done?

[quartz ravine]

plenty! Here I made a few myself https://github.com/1RedOne/FickleFox/blob/master/src/consumables.lua#L147

[upper juniper]

chat, i think i got a good one gor yall. where are used the 1x an 2x textures, bc i dont think i really need to make both

[shut crater]

Probably check out SMODS.change_base
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-facing-utilities

[red flower]

25% and 5% if my math is mathing

[shut crater]

I'm sure this works but if there's a vanilla way and an SMODS way of doing the same thing, it is generally preferred to use the SMODS way

[upper juniper]

?

mb wrong ping

[upper juniper]

?

there

[peak void]

for me it didnt work so change_base is probably safer

[red flower]

with pixel smoothing on you need x2

else x1

[peak void]

yeah all cards may or may not need to use them

[red flower]

you need them both or the game will crash if players are using the other setting

[peak void]

there is definitely a better way to do that

but thats how balatro works so you have to deal with it

[upper juniper]

ok, so for example rn im editing the hd textures dirrectly, and there is a 1x and 2x. i did some retexturiing and did both, but i fr dont want to do twice all the jonkers

[red flower]

just resize them

[peak void]

you kinda just have to

[red flower]

2x is literally double 1x

[peak void]

its really easy just make the image youre editing 200% bigger

and save it there

[upper juniper]

yh but the size change looks messy

a lot

[shut crater]

Shouldn't if you're using exact values

What image editing program are you using

[peak void]

turn off anti aliasing

[hybrid shadow]

also if its pixel art then resizing to 2x on Nearest Neighbor should work perfectly fine

[upper juniper]

for example i did a "lets go gambling" wheel, and i did a size down it was ass) so i had to redo it (im using paint )

[peak void]

youre using paint?

[upper juniper]

yh

[peak void]

ms paint resizing works perfectly fine

[hybrid shadow]

wait are you starting with the 2x

[upper juniper]

yeh but sometimes if my changes are too thin it fucks up

[fair frost]

Hello! I checked out the Balatro modding start guide, it was incredibly helpful
Sorry if this info is obvious, but since modding works by injection, is there a way to see changes you make to code without having to restart the whole app? Or do I have to reload the mod for any source code changes to show up?

[peak void]

oh wow no it does not

[hybrid shadow]

do not start with 2x

[peak void]

it doesnt matter

[upper juniper]

ah ok

thx chat

[peak void]

if you start with 1x, it still does anti aliasing

[hybrid shadow]

again resizing using Nearest Neigbor with pixel art shouldnt do that

[red flower]

If you have debugplus there are some things like UI that the mod lets you reload without restarting but most of the time no

[peak void]

ms paint doesnt use nearest neighbor unfortunately

[upper juniper]

so my question still stands, do i only do 1x for when playing ?

[peak void]

theres free art software you can use. i recommend firealpaca

[peak void]

no you pretty much do have to do both

[shut crater]

you must do 1x and 2x

[peak void]

this lets you resize by nearest neighbor

[upper juniper]

😠

[fair frost]

I see, even having UI changes without reload would be great, I'll try installing debugplus then
Thank you!

[shut crater]

balatro modding has existed for a very long time, if there was a way around it, someone probably would've figured it out by now

[hybrid shadow]

i use krita for all my pixel art lol

[peak void]

debugplus is also pretty critical for any testing

[peak void]

there definitely are ways to automate the process

im sure i could write some custom code for aseprite to save it in 1x and then again in 2x at 200% scale

[shut crater]

true, I saw that someone wrote a script for it. But it takes me about 7 seconds to do in aseprite so it wasn't worth the effort for me

[peak void]

but yeah the time it takes for a human to tab into two folders is so small that its basically a nothing process

use a different program and itll make it way easier @upper juniper

[upper juniper]

what i mean is that i would only do the 1x or 2x (whichever is used in a game) and would keep the base textures for the other folder

[peak void]

i mean thatd work

[red flower]

both are used

[upper juniper]

so wich one do i priorityze

[peak void]

but it would like. make some textures look different dependent on the context

[upper juniper]

o wow big typo mb

[peak void]

theyre equally prioritizable idk

[upper juniper]

😦 ig ill have to test them separately

[analog spoke]

I have a more complex effect idea here and I'm not sure how I'd go about doing all of it, lol, hehe

[peak void]

i have a question, im sure its been asked here before but i cant seem to find it. how do i add the little tab for cards like lucky cat and marble joker have?

[upper juniper]

ik what ill do : do a card full red in 1x and make it blue in 2x

[shut crater]

info_queue

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/6bd9e891bfee4f1ad77d35b15f9b0abf4a03d323/src/jokers.lua#L2653

[peak void]

or more ideally where in the vanilla code is this done? is it in cards cause i dont see it there

[red flower]

it's in generate_ui

[peak void]

oh ok

thank you

[brazen tusk]

its a setting, if pixel art smoothing is on it uses 2x if its off it uses 2x

[smoky seal]

If I use play_sound, I want to be able to cancel it at some point with a fade out transition, is that possible

[hybrid shadow]

can info_queue be used for general descriptions (like if i wanted to have a description for a certain rarity of cards)

[smoky seal]

I can only find STOP_AUDIO

[red flower]

yes

thanks

[primal robin]

Oh no...

[brazen tusk]

amazing

[primal robin]

Looks like a good texturepack for Malverk

[errant karma]

just curious, but is it possible to make the buttons and most ui elements round instead of having pixellated corners?

[shut crater]

my brethren

[zealous glen]

I’d swap Judgemtn and Lovrse

[red flower]

I don't think you can with the normal UI structure, maybe with your own sprites

[brazen tusk]

but they are holding hands!

[errant karma]

im just wondering if it's possible is all lol

[red flower]

everything is possible with the magic of computers

[brazen tusk]

i mean if definitely possible yeah

[zealous glen]

They’re holding more than hands in the other

[errant karma]

just asking because i am working on a wii-themed texture pack and thought round buttons would look better with the custom font i chose lol

[zealous glen]

Can you solve the halting problem for me

[peak void]

erm

[red flower]

yes send me the program and I'll tell you if it halts

for 5 dollars

[quartz ravine]

Yes, I've done it!

[zealous glen]

Can you use a computer to make it free

[dull sage]

Bro why does Lua not have a built in split function

[red flower]

damn

[dull sage]

-100 social credit

[peak void]

ill send you every possible program can you tell me which ones halt using a computer program

[quartz ravine]

I have finally been able to apply a shader to the Deck.Back object!!!

[brazen tusk]

never heard of this

[red flower]

ok let me know when you finish sending them
