*with some small ui exceptions with debugplus

[prime beacon]

which restarts the game, but doesn't tell your friends

[red flower]

alt+f5 works too now iirc

looking at the code i dont think so

without patching that is

you can copy the overlay_menu code and take out that part

[bold sleet]

yummers

[hard mica]

I got debugplus

[red flower]

you can use the watch command for the config ui and shaders and maybe something else

but for the most part you need to restart

as far as i know at least

[maiden phoenix]

@wintry solar Nope, still cause issue

I wonder if it's because of set_ability but that'd be weird

[hard mica]

Alrighty

I just gotta find a solution to the VC undefined stuff

[red flower]

maybe try opening the files in the lsp folder?

[maiden phoenix]

Oh it seems like it's because of set_ability, I temporarly removed its call and the cards don't get debuff

Btw I don't call set_ability on the playing cards, it's on a Joker

[quartz ravine]

Are people making these Wiki pages by hand?

[tired kestrel]

Hello?

[maiden phoenix]

I think they use scripts to fetch some data

[tired kestrel]

I don't know if you pinged me

[red flower]

the wiki discord links to some tools to help with it

[quartz ravine]

Hey, thanks for the tip on how to render shaders on a deck! I was able to implement it and it looks fantastic!

[tired kestrel]

but apperently still have the error issue

[quartz ravine]

ALT+F5 is a new keybinding and the fastest way to restart the game. If you're changing shader code, you can use watch shader <filePath to reload it in real time. But for the lua code, that's only patched in on start

[hard mica]

LSP?

[tired kestrel]

can someone help me with this?

[hard mica]

well damn

[red flower]

sad

[hard mica]

very sad

[primal robin]

Types? What is this?

[wintry solar]

Can you show what the code is?

[hard mica]

this is kinda annoying ngl

[timid star]

hmmm

[unborn bay]

you better actually simulate hrt gameplay here

[daring heron]

is it possible to change the order of jokers without needing to shuffle the code around?

[shell timber]

no way... hrt joker....

[pure salmon]

is there a way for a joker to check what position it's in (how many jokers are to the left of it in my case)?

[manic rune]

check G.jokers.cards, see which card is the joker

[manic rune]

check how CardArea:shuffle() rearranges jokers

[tired kestrel]

I think I got rid of the crash now I just need to figure out how I can have the joker select the rnadom playing card.

[faint yacht]

I've actually used watch when making this menu, save for moving the function to an external file and using watch on it instead.

[primal robin]

Okay time to add pages to my config

[rapid stag]

please return with your findings, i am greatly interested in this functionality

[slender island]

how do i put jokers code in another file so it will be easier to understand mod's structure?

[primal robin]

Man this alredy implemented in vanilla collection

[rapid stag]

yeah but vanilla code is incomprehensible 😭

[red flower]

im not sure any ui code is comprehensible

[primal robin]

As web dev I can say: could be worse

[rapid stag]

i was sorta able to figure it out after someone showed me i should be doing column/row wrapping alternation

[primal robin]

Just set G.UIT.R or G.UIT.C randomly until it works

My certified strategy to work with Balatro UI

[daring heron]

hm..

good mod icon

[rapid stag]

steamodded wiki page on ui is apparently decent, but it doesn't help me

[primal robin]

Also align = "cm" in 90% cases

[daring heron]

why is my mod icon broken 😔

nvm ik

[rugged pier]

would the game break with odds = 0

how do i prevent a glass card from breaking

[red flower]

take_ownership of glass and change the function

[wintry solar]

Nah the glass check is hard coded

[daring fern]

‎

[rugged pier]

oh

so there isnt a way to prevent it from breaking?

[daring fern]

There is.

[wintry solar]

You have to patch the check

[rugged pier]

whats the check

[tired kestrel]

I tried to do something about the playing card code but I ended up this:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and context.full_hand then
            local selected_copied_card = false
            local copied_card = nil
            local copy_num = 0
            for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
                local card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i]
                copy_num++
                end
            end
            if not selected_copied_card then
                if copy_num > 0 then
                    copied_card = card_select[math.random(copy_num)]
                    selected_copied_card = true
                else
                    copied_card = nil
                    selected_copied_card = false
                end
            end
        end
        if context.press_play then
            if copied_card ~= nil then
                local copied = copied_card
                card.ability.extra.copied = copied
                print("copied!")
            else
                card.ability.extra.copied = nil
            end
        else
            if card.ability.extra.copied then
                local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, card.ability.extra.copied, context)
                if ret then
                    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'Copied', colour = G.C.GREEN}, card.ability.extra.copied)
                    print("result")
                    return ret
                    end
                end
            end
        end

it gave me an errror on load

I tried many times

I don't know how I ca nget it to work

[daring heron]

how would i make a joker that gains x0.25 mult per one of these jokers obtained? you dont need to keep them to get the mult, just have them in any of your joker slots and it gains x0.25 mult

[daring fern]

if context.card_added and table.contains(bananakeys, context.card.config.center.key)

function table.contains(table, element)
    if table and type(table) == "table" then
        for _, value in pairs(table) do
            if value == element then
                return true
            end
        end
        return false
    end
end

[tired kestrel]

I'm somewhat still waiting. I'm sorry if I was a bit impatient

[timid star]

eh not really im gonna try to make a joker that has multiple sprite states

[daring fern]

Do I have to do it manually?

[timid star]

a horse wins (is chosen as the new effect) after either a blind or ante

i want to figure out how i can change joker sprites and such

[daring fern]

On the same atlas?

[timid star]

it does make sense for it to be on the same atlas

[daring fern]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x =, y =})

[timid star]

(of course to stay true to hrt, the horse winning is weighted, jovial wins the most, cyan rarely wins)

[timid star]

ah cool thanks

[tired kestrel]

@daring fern I don't know if you can help me and I'm sorry to bother

[tired kestrel]

right now I came up with this but I had an issue.

[daring fern]

Are you trying to copy the effect of a playing card?

[tired kestrel]

Yeah

[daring fern]

You can't do that unless this is an enhancement?

Or a seal?

Or anything that goes on a playing card?

[tired kestrel]

the description of the card is this:
"Copies the Effect of a Random Played Card Per Hand"

it doesn't ay anything about a enchancement

[daring fern]

What type of object is it?

[red flower]

is it? i remember someone else asking and I tried the take_ownership thing and it worked fine

smods itself does that too

[tired kestrel]

object? you mean the playing card or enchancement or a special card?

[daring fern]

The type of the card that has that description?

[tired kestrel]

||https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59152585/||
this.

[daring fern]

So it's a Joker?

[tired kestrel]

yeah.

a joker that can copy a played card

no mention about seals or enchancments

[daring fern]

You can't have the joker be a playing card, you can retrigger the card though?

[tired kestrel]

not sure if that works. I was trying to do the same thing like how the previous card actually copies a random joker

[daring fern]

You could copy what it would do manually but that would take a lot of work I think?

[tired kestrel]

that's the issue.

I mean I tried to do the same method as last time

but somehow

I at first thought I got it to work until that.

[daring fern]

Try doing eval_card(card.ability.extra.copied, context) instead of blueprint effect.

[tired kestrel]

ok.

[daring heron]

and where do i put that? tried this but that doesnt work

[daring fern]

Anywhere but outside of everything.

[tired kestrel]

tried that, and it still said this:

[daring fern]

Code?

[tired kestrel]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and context.full_hand then
            local selected_copied_card = false
            local copied_card = nil
            local copy_num = 0
            for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
                local card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i]
                copy_num++
                end
            end
            if not selected_copied_card then
                if copy_num > 0 then
                    copied_card = card_select[math.random(copy_num)]
                    selected_copied_card = true
                else
                    copied_card = nil
                    selected_copied_card = false
                end
            end
        end
        if context.press_play then
            if copied_card ~= nil then
                local copied = copied_card
                card.ability.extra.copied = copied
                print("copied!")
            else
                card.ability.extra.copied = nil
            end
        else
            if card.ability.extra.copied then
                local ret = SMODS.eval_card(card.ability.extra.copied, context)
                if ret then
                    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'Copied', colour = G.C.GREEN}, card.ability.extra.copied)
                    print("result")
                    return ret
                    end
                end
            end
        end

this is the code now.

[daring heron]

wait huh? but that wouldnt make a joker gain xmult right?

[daring fern]

No? You need to put the function outside of everything.

[red flower]

you're defining a new function

[daring heron]

oh

wait huh

i don't understand

[daring fern]

table.contains doesn't work by default for some reason I don't think.

[daring heron]

wouldnt i need to put the code in the calculate funcion for a joker to gani xmult?

oh

but then how do i make it gain xmult when the player obtains one of those jokers?

[tired kestrel]

@daring fern Do you have any idea what could be the cause? I feel like it has to do something with the arrays?

[rugged helm]

how would i apply the Chip flame effect to a soul sprite?

[daring fern]

Lua doesn't work like that.

[red flower]

i wish

[tired kestrel]

Ah. I think I might have slightly forgot but yeah, I never often to work around iwth lua a lot but I am personally good with Game maker and of course I'm also trying to learn on how lua worked

alright I updated the code and I still get this:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before and context.full_hand then
            local selected_copied_card = false
            local copied_card = nil
            local copy_num = 0
            for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
                local card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i]:get_id()
                copy_num += 1
                end
            end
            if not selected_copied_card then
                if copy_num > 0 then
                    copied_card = card_select[math.random(copy_num)]
                    selected_copied_card = true
                else
                    copied_card = nil
                    selected_copied_card = false
                end
            end
        end
        if context.press_play then
            if copied_card ~= nil then
                local copied = copied_card
                card.ability.extra.copied = copied
                print("copied!")
            else
                card.ability.extra.copied = nil
            end
        else
            if card.ability.extra.copied then
                local ret = SMODS.eval_card(card.ability.extra.copied, context)
                if ret then
                    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'Copied', colour = G.C.GREEN}, card.ability.extra.copied)
                    print("result")
                    return ret
                    end
                end
            end
        end

[daring fern]

Lua still doesn't work like that.

You have to do copy_num = copy_num + 1

[tired kestrel]

oh.

also are arrays having the same issue?

does arrays in lua work like this?

local card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i]:get_id()

though

[daring fern]

‎

[tired kestrel]

huh.

[tired kestrel]

how come I've been getting this about the arrays

cause the 95th line was this

local card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i]:get_id()

[red flower]

no, you need to initialize the array first

[tired kestrel]

how can I do that or how exactly?

I'm still learning if any too

[daring fern]

It's saying the error is near it.

[red flower]

local card_select = {}
-- loop
card_select[i] = context.full_hand[i]:get_id()

i havent seen your code tho

[unborn bay]

note that in lua arrays start at index 1

just something to keep in mind

[tired kestrel]

my whole code?

[red flower]

yeah idk what youre doing but local card_select[i] is wrong

[tired kestrel]

what the?

[red flower]

yeah just delete the local

[tired kestrel]

since when did this?

[tired kestrel]

ok

[red flower]

also doing card_select[i] = nil is useless

in lua everything starts as nil, you dont need to define it like that

[tired kestrel]

ok.

sorry I just often think about game maker or gml

but yeah

[tired kestrel]

just only delete "local" on the thing?

[red flower]

i would delete this whole loop honestly

[tired kestrel]

I already did that

[prime beacon]

Are all jokers in the pool by default / do I need to tell the game to add my joker? barring exceptions ofc

[red flower]

also local card_select without the []

[rugged pier]

bump

[red flower]

try doing the take_ownership thing, i think eremel is wrong :3

[tired kestrel]

now it worked

[red flower]

they are

[tired kestrel]

let me record

[rugged pier]

yeah so if i take ownership of it, the "odds" is in extra = 4, if i were to make the value "0" would it break the game since 1/0 is undefined

as in what do i change in the enhancement itself to make it unbreakable

[red flower]

is it a joker?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership('m_glass', {
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then
            return nil
        end
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and pseudorandom('glass') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra then
            return { remove = true }
        end
    end,
}, 
true)
```?

[rugged pier]

yeah

[red flower]

what somethingcom said

[rugged pier]

interesting, does this still give the mult though?

since return is set to nil

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

yes thats in the config

[rugged pier]

ah gotcha

thought this overrides that

thanks guys

[red flower]

take_ownership only overrides the parts you change

[rugged pier]

ahhh makes senes then

[rugged pier]

how do i credit you in my mod, do you want your username?

somethingcom515?

[wintry solar]

Oh maybe it got patched out 🤔

[tired kestrel]

Waht the-? somehow it did try to make the playing card to say "copied" as well as the main joker to say the chips amount and the nenxt thing I know when I was purchasing th evoucher it crashed

[daring fern]

What voucher?

[tired kestrel]

a hand voucher

hold on I might need tostart a new run and then check

[red flower]

has anyone ever made a clickable text hyperlink, i want to add links to the mods in my credits but i dont want a button for each

[rugged pier]

like ingame?

[red flower]

yes

[tired kestrel]

I know this is unedited but... not only that the card isn't triggered neither of the modded cards work.

[red flower]

for this

[tired kestrel]

did I broke something?

[runic pecan]

Is SMODS.current_mod.config not a thing anymore?

[red flower]

it is but SMODS.current_mod only works on initialization of the mod

[tired kestrel]

@red flower This accorded. This has never happened to me before.

[daring fern]

Try testing the one that copies playing cards with a joker that interacts with playing cards?

[red flower]

im on very shitty internet sorry videos dont load lol

[runic pecan]

Then how do I access config in real time, though?

[tired kestrel]

Sure thing.

[slender zenith]

how do i check if a card in a loop is the current scoring card?

i tried:

                if scored_card =~ card then```
with self.card and context.card too but they all give errors

[manic rune]

is

is that my mod

[faint yacht]

Set a global.

[manic rune]

mom im on tv

[red flower]

i stole multi pages

[manic rune]

:3

[daring fern]

if scored_card = context.other_card?

[manic rune]

and im very honored to be the one you stole from lmfao
-# even though the code is obviously ass

[faint yacht]

-# If it works, it works.

[slender zenith]

thanks :D

[manic rune]

so true

[red flower]

i mean i basically made my own code for it

but the ideas are the hard part

[manic rune]

o

[tired kestrel]

I tried only one that is supposed to copy playing cards, it didn't trigger anything.

uppon start

but it did load in

just...

it didn't allow the copy

or triggers

[rugged helm]

[tired kestrel]

wished I could've recorded it but honestly the card didn't do any triggers

[tired kestrel]

@red flower I can try to record but of course this is the result.

Also there haven't been any crash when I started the new run. I was thinking maybe it's because the joker copy tried to copy the playing card copier card

[red flower]

i still havent read your code so idk what youre doing

[tired kestrel]

not again hold on

alright here's the new code:

[tired kestrel]

@red flower

[tired kestrel]

is this bot trying to block me from this server?

[manic rune]

🤔 what was the explanation for that again

[red flower]

3 things:
local variables don't work between contexts. save then in the cards ability table

don't use math.random, use pseudorandom instead to account for the seed

do the cardarea check after the main context check

[tired kestrel]

so what's the correct way now?

cause I know there's math.random but yeah.

[primal robin]

No way now I have infinite space for keybinds

[tired kestrel]

I mean I'm trying to tihnk on what's the correct way for the code like this.

[red flower]

for your case pseudorandom_element(card_select, pseudoseed("seed")) gives you a random element

[blissful thistle]

Hi everyone, Here, I'm using both the DebugPlus mod and EscapeExitButton.lua.
The lua functions properly, but the exit button also shows up when I hit "tab' for Debug Menu. Does anyone know how to fix this?

ah.

I just changed the code a bit and now this error came up

[red flower]

well dont attempt to compare a number with nil

[tired kestrel]

updated code:

            local selected_copied_card = false
            local copied_card = nil

oh.

wiat I tihnk know why

[red flower]

copy_num doesnt exist

[tired kestrel]

I readded copy_num because it's supposed to be the one that detects the cards

wait something happened let me try to record

[pure salmon]

how do i set the hand score to 0 after scoring (i assume setting the hand's chips and mult during context.final_scoring_step to 0 will do the trick, i just don't know how to get or set those)

[red flower]

hand_chips = 0
mult = 0

[tired kestrel]

somehow it just retriggers the card only.

no "copied"

wait.

huh.

strange.

cause orginally I thought it's supposed to be like this (I know it's a rough edit):

Like when the joker starts it also gets the playing card to trigger and then the card would display the number

[tired kestrel]

@red flower I don't know how else I can put it but I was trying to get this in some way

[red flower]

sorry your effect it's a bit complicated lol I would need to try it out myself but I'm not at home rn

I would try asking eremel again later

[tired kestrel]

Yeah, but right now I think what I had is just enough until the time to ask again but yeah...

[slender zenith]

hey, anyone know why this isnt working?

its meant to loop through all other cards, and if theyre infected, add the chips variable from that card to the current card

[red flower]

for _, enhancement in pairs...

[slender zenith]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

whoops

[red flower]

pairs gives you a pair of values

hence the name

[slender zenith]

thanks lmao

[pure salmon]

anyone know the sound effect name for fortune's nope?

[slender zenith]

this doesnt work for some reason? am i using it wrong?

[manic rune]

enhancement is a table of values, i thinj

i think

actually nvm

[slender zenith]

it has nothing to do with enhancements, it's not passing if scored_card == context.other_card then

[manic rune]

are you sure context.other_card actually exists

[slender zenith]

idk thats why i replied to the other guy

[red flower]

i think theres no other_card in main_scoring yeah

[slender zenith]

how else would i do this then?

wait idea nvm

[red flower]

idk what you want to do

[slender zenith]

my idea was stupid and didnt work

[slender zenith]

i want it to pass that check if the card in the loop isn't the current card that's being triggered

[red flower]

if scored_card ~= card then

[slender zenith]

thats the first thing i tried what

maybe i had an error elsewhere

wait im actually stupid

i wrote =~ 😭

[slender zenith]

also that part was right for my case

thanks everyonee

[gilded narwhal]

Guys how exactly does the weighting system work for balatro

For booster packs

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition#weight-system

(boosters are similar)

[pure salmon]

why does this play the sound effect as soon as i play the hand? the effect and the message trigger at the right time

[wintry solar]

put sound = "cancel" in the return table instead

[tired kestrel]

apperently somehow the trigger card copy suddenly didn't get the copy mechanism to work.

somehow it didn't work to copy

[tired kestrel]

@wintry solarhey sorry to bother I somewhat figured out how I can get the playing card to copy work

except right now it did not go the way I thought of.

[tired kestrel]

it's supposed to do something like this.

sorry if I had to bother.

[runic pecan]

Should this +1 discard be permanent (like the voucher) or only for a round (like how some jokers change it)?

[tired kestrel]

just in case this is the code:

[slender zenith]

i adapted this idea a little, but this is what i ended up with, it also has a cool synergy with the virus joker as it converts cards before theyre scored

[manic rune]

🤔 is this a consumable, or?

[runic pecan]

Consumeable, yes.

[manic rune]

i think it should only be temporary for the current ante or something, since the destroy effect itself is already pretty good

the perm discard pretty much makes it busted

[runic pecan]

Like this?

[manic rune]

mhm, i think thats fine

[runic pecan]

Hmmm, but how do I reset it by the end of an ante, though?

[manic rune]

you could check for when ease_ante is run, or when a boss blind is defeated 🤔

[red flower]

i hook calculate_context and check for context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss for my global effects

[lucid owl]

what happens if more than one mod takes ownership of a base item?

[runic pecan]

New Idea: spawn a Tag

[runic pecan]

Depends on what order the mods were run (i.e. mod priorities), I guess.
But I forget if it's the first or the last one that gets it.

[lucid owl]

ah, okay

seems like a slight recipe for disaster

[rugged helm]

heyhey, would you mind sending the code you used to apply that shader? i'm trying to add a shader to a soul :3

[brisk rose]

Another day, anothe rewrite. Now the code basically identical the the SMODS.CardDraw, with the addition of going through and seeing what code results from that, and so on... and Negative still isn't dark mode, nor will the Ortalab shaders do much unless I disable the base dissolve shader, but then... a lot of the other things look like shit, and none of the things that are supposed to tell you to do that or not do much. Plus, they still don't look right at all even then

[hard mica]

Does anyone know how to fix the undefined problem in VC?

[slender zenith]

bald jimbo

[glad osprey]

oker

[rapid stag]

question, does anyone know the value of context.other_card.base.value when context.other_card is an ace?

[plain apex]

how does negative do the like +1 handsize/+1 joker slot while its there but properly go away when its played/removed/not there
trying to do something similar here (also dont understand how it does the text based on where it is) like i can sell it away on jokers with

if context.selling_self and card.ability.set == 'Joker' then
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
        end

but if that joker is destroyed the -1 joker slot effects are still there
and how do i check if its currently in the hand or whatever to remove / add the appropriate amount of handsize?

like this is what i've got so far and it partially works (unless its on a card in hand or you destroy the card)

SMODS.Edition({

[cobalt iron]

how do you adjust the sell value of a joker?

[brisk rose]

let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[rapid stag]

did you ever make any progress on this?

[tired kestrel]

Actually, that got me thinking, what happens if you apply these two shaders as new editions to cards?

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XtBXDt
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/McdSzl

[plain apex]

i hate editions but my suggestions sheet has like almost nothing besides them and vouchers which i still haven't figured out how to make actually work left :/

[daring heron]

What’s this for?

[rapid stag]

bump

[tepid crow]

I'm confused why don't you just... print it out

[rapid stag]

was wondering if anyone had it on hand or smth so that i didn't have to go through the trouble, while i was working on a joker functionality

i realised something and checked another thing and turns out i already had printed this value and worked it out before as part of my card art credits system. the .value for aces and face cards are literally just "Ace", "King", "Queen" & "Jack".

[tepid crow]

I guess I can see why you would ask instead of printing, but I don't see the point in bumping the question 30 min later. You could've printed it 10 times by that point

[wintry solar]

also, eval dp.hovered.base.value would be 10 seconds

[rapid stag]

i see

[hybrid shadow]

how would i make localization text of a sticker in the localization file

[rapid stag]

as in replacement text for a vanilla sticker or new text for a new sticker you're implementing?

[hybrid shadow]

new text for a new implemented sticker

[rapid stag]

...huh, all the stickers are in Other. interesting

in the table that gets retured from your localization file, you will want the structure something like lua descriptions.Other.[YOUR MOD STICKER KEY HERE], containing name = "[YOUR STICKER NAME TEXT HERE]" and text = { [YOUR STICKER DESCRIPTION HERE, EACH LINE STRINGS SEPARATED BY COMMAS, SUPPORTS MULTI-BOXING IN NEWER STEAMODDED VERSIONS] }

[lofty sand]

hey, I'm trying to yoink the ability from the arm boss blind to delevel played poker hand, does anyone know of a more elegant way to implement this than just ripping the code from the arm itself?

[red flower]

return { level_up = -1 }

i assume that works

[lofty sand]

dope, I'll give it a shot

also idk if you saw my message last night, but thank you SO much for showing me this file structure, it's so much easier to work with lmao

[main mesa]

Hey would anyone be able or willing to take a look at this crashlog? I crash when hovering over some jokers from extra credit, no clue why.

[lofty sand]

also I was on a really outdated version of smods, that's why balance = true wasn't working

[red flower]

oh lol

[rapid stag]

oh is it balance = true in a joker return table for doing the plasma deck balance mechanic?

[lofty sand]

yep

it's pretty nice, much prettier code than the entire plasma deck code lol

[hybrid shadow]

would it be like this (the text is positioned properly my phone screen just has it overflow into the next line)

[rapid stag]

that looks about right, try it.
if it doesn't work, either the key may be wrong or i got the structure wrong i'm not experienced with stickers

[hybrid shadow]

i looked at the cryptid code for reference, apparently stickers dont have a unique prefix addition so i just used my mod's prefix (hmlt)

[rapid stag]

well if they did, it would be the prefix, then your mod prefix anyway

at least if other items are any consideration

[hybrid shadow]

yeah, i had the key as 'br_st' because 'breath' was already used with a joker

[wintry solar]

I tried to make coding custom calculations as easy and clean as possible so this is great to hear!

[lofty sand]

it's very nice :)

[small finch]

i found an old texture mod for cards i really like but it doesnt work what i do??
i think i can just edit the the assets a lil and put it in the actual balatro,
but id rather make a mod out of it

[nimble gyro]

hey yall just joined. any documentation to start off with yall can point me to?

[red flower]

check the first pin in #⚙・modding-general

[shut crater]

Tbh I just open my whole Mods folder in vscode, so idk about adding to workspace and whatnot

[spiral crown]

currently trying to get a random skip tag and am working from the follwing line but getting nil from psuedorandom

add_tag(psuedorandom(Tag()))

anyone got any ideas?

[shut crater]

pseudorandom takes in a string and outputs a decimal between 0 and 1

You probably want to select a tag from the table of all tags

[spiral crown]

any idea what the name of the table is?

[shut crater]

It's probably stored in G.P_CENTERS

[manic rune]

p sure its in G.P_TAGS or something

[shut crater]

Usually there are SMODS utilities for randomness but I don't think there's one for tags since there is no vanilla support for random rags

[long sun]

hi again! i've got this ability:
(Uncommon) Score cannot exceed Blind requirements until final hand of round

how do i cap the score, as needed? (i'm not gonna use Cryptid's method, btw)

[crisp coral]

you have to patch into the same place Cryptid patches

[shut crater]

I imagine you'd have to do a lot of patching

[long sun]

grand, thanks ^^

do you know where Cryptid patches? in case you do, to save me searching for it

[wintry solar]

Nah that’s like a single line patch I think

Just target where it checks to see if you beat it, and if it’s not the last hand cap the score at target score -1

[long sun]

grand ^^

thanku!

[pale venture]

is there a way to check if you're in the continue page of the main menu?

[glad osprey]

how do i pass a sprite to a shader

[hard mica]

I do that so idk why it ain't working lmao

[long sun]

okay, i've got no clue how to patch this =w=

i have Cryptid's TOML file, but don't know if i need it

@wintry solar sorry to bother again, what exactly should i do? :P

cause, like

okay mm lemme map everything out

i wanna assign an attribute to the Joker, called bfdi_can_only_win_on_final_hand

then, in the patch, check, in a for loop, if any owned Jokers have that attribute = true

if so, cap the score

the problem is, i want this to work with Cryptid too

and all other mods that cap the score

but, patching the line will either remove Cryptid's cap, or mine

argh this is making my head hurt

i'll work on another Joker until i know what to do

[stiff locust]

does get_joker_win_sticker() only work on jokers
i need to do it for a deck

[long sun]

mm, that didn't take as long as expected

will brainstorm new abilities for other jokers ^^

[nimble orchid]

hello i'm new and trying to figure out how to make a midas mask adjacent joker but not really sure what i'm doing, i'm looking through the code of the 10 example jokers but can't find anything for enhancing cards

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d0e99fb83af5765f200adf2ffeb01ea732e60e6b/src/jokers.lua#L2174

[nimble orchid]

tysm!!

[sturdy compass]

This is my first time hearing about Vanilla Remade and this is totally something I wish I had starting out. Any room for contributors?

[red flower]

I'm not doing anything other than jokers so I would really appreciate any other types of objects

[sturdy compass]

heard

I've been itching to work on smthn since I've been waiting for art on my other projects so this'll be a nice way to pass time while contributing to the community lol

[polar star]

I've been endlessly trying to code it so diamonds gain +10 chips, but so far I haven't seen any results. Any ideas why this doesn't seem to do anything?

[rugged helm]

PINK FLOYD JOKER??

[polar star]

possibly :3

[rugged helm]

fellow pink floyd enjoyer

[red flower]

looks fine to me, did you start a new run before testing?

[sturdy compass]

I wonder if adding a message_card to the return table would help? I think I remember seeing people with similar issues get it fixed like that oddly

[polar star]

oops, yeah it works on a new run now, it really was that simple, I didn't realise changes would only get registered on new runs

thanks!

[sturdy compass]

Ahh that'll do it

[red flower]

changes to config need a new instance of the joker

[sturdy compass]

^

Restarted runs essentially have Jokers hold their old code

[rugged helm]

keep me updated on whatever you're doing with this i NEED this cardi n the game

[polar star]

we're making a balatro mod that adds album inspired jokers

[rugged helm]

incredible

do you perhaps need more coders ..

[polar star]

hmmm, for now I wanna keep it just a fun project between my and my partner

[rugged helm]

perfectly fair :3

[polar star]

but maybe someday

[sturdy compass]

I think someone else was also doing an album mod but I haven't seen them around lately

[rugged helm]

WYWH the only pink floyd album you're doing?

[polar star]

we have an idea for a voucher inspired by Dark Side of the Moon

[lofty sand]

I'm trying to figure out how to only return { level_up = -1 } if the level is greater than one, does anyone know how I could do this?

[lofty sand]

I tried context.level > 1 but that doesn't seem to work

[red flower]

if G.GAME.hands[handname].level > 1 then

[sturdy compass]

This is what I was thinkin' of

[wintry solar]

What’s the line?

[red flower]

handname is context.scoring_name

[rapid stag]

question - if i do SMODS.poll_enhancement({ guaranteed = true }), this will generate a guaranteed enhancement, right?

additionally, i'm assuming that this will just return an enhancement key. how do i apply this to a playing card?

[red flower]

1. yes, 2) set_ability

[rapid stag]

card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[SMODS.poll_enhancement({ guaranteed = true })], nil, true)?

[red flower]

set_ability accepts keys with smods

[rapid stag]

ahhh

[red flower]

but yes

[long frigate]

how do i affect the code of a pool such as making a joker specifically affect another card in the pool - once the joker is enabled it reactivates a planet cards pool if holding or if isnt holding when is holding lets you find more

[next timber]

why no icon :(

[turbid maple]

you didnt set y

thats why methinks

[next timber]

its. an animated atlas

they dont need y

right

[turbid maple]

y is the row

[next timber]

weird, this code is basically verbatim copied from my other mod and that one worked fine

[turbid maple]

🤔

[red flower]

if the planets are your own you can do

in_pool = function(self, args)
  return next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))
end

if not then thats harder, manipulating rates is also hard

[next timber]

yeah setting y instead of x worked

dunno why i dont have that issue for my other mod

[long frigate]

ah i see

[lofty sand]

balatro is very angry at me :(

is it okay to try and do this like this? it seems to crash whenever I play a leveled hand, saying "attempt to compare number with table"

            return { level_up = -1 }```

[red flower]

it's because you have talisman installed :3

[lofty sand]

damn :(

is there a way I could make it compatable with talisman?

[red flower]

if you're using the vanillaremade repo see the note at the bottom of the file

[small finch]

i replaced the 8BitDeck in Balatro bc i dont knovv hovv to make a mod for it and got this anybody knovv y?

[minor magnet]

is there a way to discard cards automatically

discard_cards_from_highlighted doesn't really work for what i need

[crisp coral]

draw_from_hand_to_discard?

or just draw_card

[red flower]

oh i didnt know hook highlighted them first

[lofty sand]

how do you specify a value in that format? how is the to_big(card.ability.extra.dollars) in the vanillaremade example supposed to specify 5 dollars?

[wintry solar]

Easiest way to make it compatible with talisman is to uninstall talisman and pester the devs of it to fix the problem

[lofty sand]

lmao REAL

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.dollars is the number value, to_big casts from regular number to Talisman's Big

[wintry solar]

Having a mod that requires every other mod to write stuff in a certain way on the off chance it’s installed is not healthy for the modding scene

[lofty sand]

fr

very annoying

[scarlet thorn]

I haven't had any issues with talisman so far

[lofty sand]

if I use that format will talisman be a depenency? that's annoying

[red flower]

no

[lofty sand]

ah okay dope

I thought defining to_big was required regardless

[red flower]

it is, but you can make a dummy function

oh i only use to_big once, nice

[lofty sand]

so could I use context.level for the value in my case?

[red flower]

yes i dont know what context.level is tho

[lofty sand]

I assume its the level of the played hand, but im not sure either tbth

or wait no that wouldn't work

I'm just trying to get that value to one, idk what I'm going on about lol

[red flower]

to_big(G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].level) > to_big(1)
?

i dont think you need to_big for the first one but i included it in the example just in case

[lofty sand]

yeah, my brain was overcomplicating it for no reason

[spiral crown]

Okay, attempting to get my joker to message the name of the tag randomly chosen in the following code currently it is coming back as nil. My line of reasoning is msg should be equal to the table of the tag and by calling the key that I want 'name" I should get the player legible name of the tag. Any ideas?

[lofty sand]

is there a specifically a context for a hand leveling down? lol

[red flower]

msg["name"] or msg.name
also it's probably better to localize with the key

[red flower]

the arm does it in context.debuff_hand but I don't think it matters?

[turbid maple]

youd have to write a hook

the arm does it????

[red flower]

oh if they want a context to see when a level goes down then yes

[turbid maple]

i assumed he means a context that triggers when a hand is lvbelled down

ye

[spiral crown]

I have the big dumb thank you

[lofty sand]

yeah, that's the idea

[red flower]

you probably need to hook level_up_hand

[floral flicker]

does anybody know how i can tag a seal like i can get a stone card with m_stone ?

it is for deactivate the gold seal in a challenge.

[red flower]

seals are just like "Gold" and "Red"

[floral flicker]

thx, i kept searching smthing like s_gold

[red flower]

idk if you can ban them in challenges tho

[cobalt iron]

is there a way to change the ante?

[red flower]

ease_ante iirc

[tired kestrel]

Sorry about the miscomment

I have been waiting mostly.

[cobalt iron]

Do I just add or subctract it?

[red flower]

ease_ante(modifier)

[cobalt iron]

thanks

[minor magnet]

does card_limit not work for enhancements

it seems to only work for editions

[rugged helm]

how do i apply a drawStep to a soul layer?

[hybrid shadow]

how do i make a sticker have an effect when its on a card thats held in hand

[zealous glen]

What are you trying to do

[glad osprey]

same way you do for a seal

just as a sticker

[rugged helm]

trying to draw the Flame shader effect on only the mask (soul) of this card

[glad osprey]

custom draw function for the card

[rugged helm]

elaborate

[primal terrace]

Hell yeah, I've got a concatenated value, this is a start

[lofty sand]

I've managed to disable planet cards LMAO, I don't think I understand hooking properly

buh?? this happened when selecting small blind (attached is crash log, error header thing, and a relevant patch)

[glad osprey]

for the joker define a draw function like how you define a calculate function

(draw = function(self, card, argsithink))

[floral flicker]

Do somone know if we can deactivate money earned by selling joker, tarot, etc...

[glad osprey]

to draw a sprite you need to get the sprite from card.children and use sprite:draw_shader

[nova eagle]

i have a question

i havent gotten around to actually testing this joker yet

BUT

[zealous glen]

That’s not how you should change the name of Blinds, but also, vanilla operates on base names instead of keys

[nova eagle]

in theory

SMODS Atlas {
    key = 'one for all',
    path = 'one for all.png',
    px = '71',
    py = '95'
}

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'joker3',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'one for all',
        text = {
            'Get {C:attention}$1 {}for each owned {C:attention}joker {}',
            'at the end of each round.'
        }
    }
    atlas = 'one for all'
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 6,
    config = {extra = {dollars = 1}},
    local_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars + { card ability.extra.dollars}}
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        return card.ability.dollars
    end
}

[next timber]

ah

[zealous glen]

You’re breaking vanilla

[next timber]

right im guessing i should take ownership. just now remembered thats possible

[nova eagle]

this should give me $1 for each joker at the end of the round, right?

[zealous glen]

You don’t even need to do that I think

[next timber]

also i see you're jovial now

[zealous glen]

Just change the localization

[glad osprey]

I think the sprites you need are card.children.front and card.children.floating_sprite

[rugged helm]

        x = 2,
        y = 3,
        draw = function(card, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
            card.hover_tilt = card.hover_tilt * 1.5
            card.children.floating_sprite:draw_shader('hologram', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil,
                card.children.center, 2 * scale_mod, 2 * rotate_mod)
            card.hover_tilt = card.hover_tilt / 1.5
        end
    }```?

[zealous glen]

Now I can show it to everyone

[hard mica]

is there a thing to reset the run through code? im making a joker that either resets your run or gives you 1000 mult

[zealous glen]

Something like that yeah

[turbid maple]

horrifying

[next timber]

so would i patch the localization file for that? (but also, i do kinda need to set some custom values for it, since blinds in this mod have values for cards and defeats

[zealous glen]

No

Just put it in your localization file

[nova eagle]

there is a consumable in cryptic mod that resets blind state to the start of the current blind... so i know it is possible... no clue how to do that tho

[zealous glen]

Check my mod

[next timber]

awesome

[nova eagle]

theoretically, this should give $1 for each joker at the end of the round, right?

[next timber]

but also if i want to give it new attributes im patching into the Blind class should i just take ownership anyways

[dull sage]

[next timber]

cause im adding a win condition that isnt chips

so blinds need a custom attribute for that

[rugged helm]

hmm now the mask just doesn;'t show up at all

wait

[zealous glen]

Yes

[hard mica]

damn i really wanna know how to reset a run lmao

[rugged helm]

whatth efuck

that's so simple

[dull sage]

Let me ask a question. The "text" object defines the text that pops up when you hover over the card right
And inside this text you can use placeholders like #1# and #2#.

My question is where does it pull the values to put in those place holders? Is the config variable or is it the loc_vars variable?

[zealous glen]

SMODS has you define a loc_vars function whose return is a table whose vars key supplies those values

[zealous glen]

Show it

[lofty sand]

does anyone know if I'm using level_up = -1 correctly here?

        level_up = level_up or 0
        if context.level_up_hand and level_up == -1 then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}}})
        end
    end```

I feel like I'm not

[rugged helm]

it works normally with the hologram shader, but the flame shader doesn't seem to work

[dull sage]

That didn't really answer my question

[rugged helm]

it's giving a mouse_screen_pos error

[zealous glen]

What part didn’t

[red flower]

that's not how a hook works lol

[zealous glen]

See what arguments the flame shader needs

and which ones you’re passing

[lofty sand]

config tells you the values, loc_vars are for updating them

[modern kindle]

Gamers 👋

[dull sage]

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly how are you

[dull sage]

But where do the placeholders get their values???

[zealous glen]

That’s not right

[zealous glen]

What part of my answer did you not understand?

[nova eagle]

its telling me that the { on line 45 is not being closed, but it very much is...

any solve to this?

[modern kindle]

Hi vic
I'm tired but alive

I slept alot of yesterday (until almost 1700!) But here I am today still sleepy

How are you

[lofty sand]

ah nvm you right that was dumb

[zealous glen]

Read the line near atlas

[lofty sand]

I love spreading misinformation

[red flower]

vars = instead of vars +

[zealous glen]

I’m cooked

[haughty wraith]

Why does this line exist?

[modern kindle]

We gotta uncook you

[lofty sand]

I may be stupid

[dull sage]

Apologies, I reread your response and I misunderstood. Been at this issue for a while

[red flower]

im special

[nova eagle]

line 38? or 54?

[haughty wraith]

:0

[modern kindle]

N has always been special

[zealous glen]

53 and 54

[red flower]

i would look for examples of hooks in other mods

[rugged helm]

can't tell which arguments are supposed to be which

[hard mica]

@red flower sorry for tag but idk if this is the smartest thing to do but it does show stuff

[red flower]

if it works it works, i would recommend putting that in the .gitignore if you upload it

[nova eagle]

it looks fine to me... i have it set the same way for my other joker, and it isnt causing any issues

[hard mica]

alrighty

[zealous glen]

Compare 53 and 54 with 55

[hard mica]

does anyone know how to reset run through code?

[rugged helm]

 nil - unknown 
card.ARGS.send_to_shader - unknown, is this needed for every shader call? 
nil - unknown
card.children.center - unknown
2 * scale_mod - unknown
2 * rotate_mod - unknown```

are the nils and send_to_shader universal

[nova eagle]

not sure i follow... this is how the code for my other joker looks, and this works fine

[modern kindle]

The comma my friend

[zealous glen]

When I told you to check the args, I meant ARGS.send_to_shader

[red flower]

you know you can crop screenshots right

[nova eagle]

OH

[zealous glen]

Read the shader code to see which args are necessary

[modern kindle]

Note one has a comma and one doesnt

[nova eagle]

IM AN IDIOT

I FORGOT THE COMMA

[dull sage]

Then I'm kinda of at my wits end with this issue. Why is it when the value is updated in the back end, it never updates in the front end? It's always showing male for every instance of the Seal

[modern kindle]

I was waiting for you to get to it but you were just missing it lol

So I had to help a little

[nova eagle]

i guess that wasnt the issue

[rugged helm]

tbh i can't tell

idk how the shader code works really

[zealous glen]

Did you fix 53 and 54

[modern kindle]

You need a comma after atlas line too

[small finch]

i replaced the 8BitDeck in Balatro vvith this bc i dont knovv hovv to make a mod for it and got this anybody knovv y this happening?

[nova eagle]

yeah'

[dull sage]

Like I know it's working and changing the variable, but everything I have tried to update the value in the front end just doesn't work

[nova eagle]

ok i found the issue finally

[hard mica]

how could i put a gif as a sprite/joker

[zealous glen]

With difficulty

[modern kindle]

Just do what I do and think really hard about it and then dont do it

[nova eagle]

so now testing the joker is giving me issues

[rugged helm]

where does it list the necessary args?

[modern kindle]

We call that some good early econ

[nova eagle]

is there a reason it isnt giving me money for each joker? im pretty sure i set it up right...

[zealous glen]

At the top of the shader code

[rugged helm]

?

[zealous glen]

Missing ….extra.…

[zealous glen]

Yes I think those are the external variables required by the Hologram shader

[minor magnet]

?

[nova eagle]

ok, that was closer... although its not giving me $1 per joker

here it should be giving me $3

[rugged helm]

so then how would i have the card send the proper variables for Flame, considering that scale_mod and rotate_mod are the only apparent arguments passed into the shader?

[nova eagle]

using the abstract joker i realise now wasnt the right decision... how do i make it give me

$1 per joker

[modern kindle]

My head is a little empty right now but can't you just monkey it by checking how many are in g.jokers.cards and then calculate the dollar bonus there

[zealous glen]

Of course not, you made it give $1

[nova eagle]

i did use some code from both golden joker and abstract joker, so i thought it would work

[hasty mist]

dratula pfp

[zealous glen]

The table that passes arguments to the shader is ARGS.send_to_shader

[nova eagle]

OHH I SEE WHAT I MISSED

[nova eagle]

i am the boss

[minor magnet]

is there an easier way to do this

[modern kindle]

I wish I got one dollar for every joker I had

[rugged helm]

ahh okay okay

so how would i modify that table

i'm not really good at lua if you can't tell -w-

[thorn flame]

how do i load multiple folders inside the main content folder? e.g from lucky rabbit

im looking at the main luas but like

[next timber]

for some reason when i set the localisation for the small and big blinds, hovering over them causes a crash from. not being able to find their colour, i think??

[karmic heart]

How can I make a joker wait two seconds during its trigger?

I want it to play a funny sound before ending the run, rather than immediately ending

[hard mica]

does this function not work anymore?

[old bane]

i feel like ive seen how to do that with like pokermon or cryptid or something

i think you mostly just have to loop through the content folder and then loop through each folder in the content folder so it would be a loop within a loop

[old bane]

is this for a joker or something else

[hard mica]

joker

[old bane]

it should work

[hard mica]

ok nvm it works

[old bane]

maybe instead of having that long if statement do
return math.min(bonus, 0)

okay

[hard mica]

i just put it the wrong way

my joker doesnt appear in the shop , how can i make it appear in the shop?

[red flower]

events

[red flower]

it should unless you have an in_pool function or it's a legendary

[hard mica]

i do have an in_pool function

[languid rover]

Hello everyone I wanted to ask for any advice on making my first Mod, It's not too complicated (at least the idea isn't I am hoping), but I wanted a Mod which would allow the player to be unable to lose during Ante 1-4 in exchange for making Ante 5-8 1.5x harder. I am trying to make it so that the mod simply checks if the player would lose the run it instead first checks the ante number and then if it is 4 or lower gives the player an additional hand (This would not stop losing by deck out, but I think that's permissable given the context of how hard decking out in antes 1-4 is without winning)

[turbid maple]

Are you asking how to implement it

[languid rover]

I don't really have a lot of Lua experience but I've done a fair amount of programming in Python, JS, C#, and AHK. I managed to setup my mod folder and the Metadata json file. But I'm hitting a major wall with how to actual get the functionality working

[rapid stag]

question - if it's present, shouldn't calc_dollar_bonus() always be triggered at the end of the round regardless of whether or not it returns anything above 0?

[turbid maple]

I assumed it'd just make your hands stay at 0 so you don't get bonus money

[bold sleet]

clueless dumbass that doesn't know what they are missing

[turbid maple]

This definitely requires patching the source code (instead of just adding your own code on top of it), so I recommend reading how Lovely patches work: https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

[languid rover]

if you're asking me then yes. You'd get a bonus hand only if you failed to beat the round which would imply that you'd consume that hand to try to win the next one (although the mod wouldn't have a limit to triggers unless configured to do so)

[turbid maple]

I think the simplest way to approach this would be to find the code that 1. decrements the hand after each played and 2. triggers a game loss when hands remaining is 0

then patch it to do what you want

I can't help you dig for the relevant functions right now though because I'm not home and don't have access to the source code sorry

The only relevant function I remember is play_hand_from_highlighted? I think that's what it was called

might be a decent place to start

[languid rover]

that's okay, do you have any idea which files I might want to look at?

[turbid maple]

misc/(something)_functions.lua?

[rugged helm]

anyone have ideas for what this joker should do?

(reference to The Wall by pink floyd)

[next timber]

smth about stone cards maybe

[rugged helm]

's what i was thinking too

maybe it retriggers stone cards but has a 1 in 5 chance to break them

[red flower]

and what is it

[rapid stag]

stone joker but xchips
so it directly synergises with them

[loud vortex]

I've been searching through the smod github pages, and I haven't been able to find any way for a joker to detect specific cards or suits in the "before" context stage. trying to make a joker that turns all played clubs into glass if a king of clubs scores.

[red flower]

context.scoring_hand and context.full_hand are lists of the scoring and full hand respectively

[hard mica]

Just basically return not G.GAME.something_pools.and_a_var_i_forgot

[red flower]

use :get_id() and :is_suit(suit) to see what the cards are

[red flower]

then your problem is that your in_pool function is wrong

check if the variable is false at any time

[tawdry shale]

tried adding a second joker today, i'm in SMODS.joker and i just copy and pasted and changed a few things but my first joker is gone

[hard mica]

In the in_pool function?

[tawdry shale]

also the custom mult i did is showing up as "xnil"

[red flower]

in general
return not value means that the joker will only appear when value is false

(or nil)

[hard mica]

Oooh alrighty

[rapid stag]

bump

[tired kestrel]

what is this supposed to be? a custom card?

[tawdry shale]

custom joker

[tired kestrel]

or a joker that is made for to be as a playing card?

oh.

[tawdry shale]

my first one that was working yesterday but now it's gone

[tired kestrel]

for a moment I thought it was a playing card that acts like a joker when played?

[red flower]

can you elaborate?

[jagged pewter]

can someone help me?

[runic frigate]

im trying to create a mod but it doesnt show up when i open the game, i have a mod.lua folder, a mod.json folder and assets and im really new too all this so im not sure, can anyone help me with this problem?

[turbid maple]

what's your directory structure

you see the mod menu at least, right?

[turbid maple]

see above and can you post the json file just to make sure it's valid

[polar star]

this function deletes all playing cards (both played and in hand) instantly, but I'm more looking for something individually checks each playing card and destroys them if they meet a condition, how would I go about this?

[red flower]

context.destroy_card is also the card to be destroyed so if you want only hearts you would do context.destroy_card:is_suit("Hearts")
if you want only played cards then add a check for context.cardarea == G.play

[polar star]

hmm alright, I did try adding context.cardarea == G.play before but it crashed my game for some reason

I'll fiddle around with it some more

[runic frigate]

yeah, ive modded the game before and i wanna make my own, so i know where the folder is supposed to be but i cant see it ingame

[turbid maple]

Have you tried looking at the console output and see if it mentions your mod at all?

IIRC when I was fucking up my .json file it'd say something about that

[runic frigate]

so like how do i do that, im new to all this sorry

[turbid maple]

uhh you know how you launch balatro and you get the black screen with white text on it

[runic frigate]

lovely?

[turbid maple]

yeah

[runic frigate]

yeah

oh ill check

[turbid maple]

You can scroll through it and see if it mentions your mod at all

anyone know why i'm getting an attempt-to-index error for 'card'?

[runic frigate]

it does it says "INFO - [G] 2025-05-13 16:39:55 :: ERROR :: Loader :: Found invalid metadata JSON file at C:\Users[myname]\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods/testmod/mod.json, ignoring: [SMODS _ "src/loader.lua"]:226: main_file

[red flower]

you're missing a context check

[thorn flame]

bup

[rugged helm]

which context should i check for?

[turbid maple]

okay that means your .json file is invalid. can you post the file

[runic frigate]

like whats inside it or the whole thing

[red flower]

SMODS.load_file
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/JoyousSpring.lua

[turbid maple]

the whole thing

[red flower]

what's the effect

[rugged helm]

gives each stone card x1.5 chips

[red flower]

context.individual then

[rugged helm]

that the only one aside from the stone check?

[tawdry shale]

okay i fixed the problem sorta but my second joker has "xnil" mult still

[turbid maple]

you're missing some required fields
look at the wiki and check what's marked [required] https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[red flower]

the rest of the code was ok, just add that as the first condition on the if statement

[rugged helm]

hmm

it didn't seem to work

[red flower]

your loc_vars is wrong

[red flower]

can i see the code

[turbid maple]

Looks like you just need prefix (this gets added to ids you create so two different mods do not end up with the same ids for stuff) and main_file (which lua file the loader should launch)

[rugged helm]

[runic frigate]

what

[turbid maple]

so yeah you haven't told the mod loader what file to actually load so it doesn't load your mod

[red flower]

looks good to me

[runic frigate]

i read it on the github thing and i dont understand

[runic frigate]

how do i do this

[thorn flame]

this worked

thabnm

THANKS

not thabnm

[rugged helm]

it has. fully crashed the game apparently

[red flower]

can i see the log

[rugged helm]

once i restart my puter yeah

[turbid maple]

add the fields to the json file

{
    "id": "testmod",

}

[runic frigate]

ok ill try this and see if it works

[rugged helm]

where do i find it

oh, you mean the in-game log

yeah there wasn't one it just stopped responding

didn't happen this time for some reason, but it's still not working

ah, okay

removing the stone and cardarea checks made it apply, but it applied to every card

[runic frigate]

i think i fucked something up, i checked the console and it says " INFO - [G] 2025-05-13 16:55:40 :: ERROR :: Loader :: Found invalid metadata JSON file at C:\Users[myname]AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods/testmod/mod.json, ignoring: [SMODS _ "src/loader.lua"]:226: author"

[nova eagle]

how do i make this joker only give mult when a played hand contains a 7 rather than per played 7?

[rugged helm]

to clarify i mean that it should give x1.5 chips each time a stone card is scored

not just add that to each stone card

[loud vortex]

Do I use get_id() and is_suit(suit) within the before context or do I use those within the scoring_hand context?, since I want it to convert the cards before they score

[hexed heath]

is there a way to get the current unix timestamp in milliseconds

[turbid maple]

oh author is supposed to be a list

[rugged helm]

got it working :3

[zealous glen]

show flames

[rugged helm]

oh no not the flames

i gave up on that for now

[runic frigate]

who else should i put and idk if the main_file one is right, do i just put the name of the lua folder or is there something else

[rugged helm]

this

[turbid maple]

context.individual triggers for each individual card
check the wiki for other available context flags

[turbid maple]

you can just have a list of one person
like ["(You)"]

[red flower]

scoring_hand is a property of the before context

[fiery lark]

How easy is this game to mod

I have very very limited coding experience

[zealous glen]

Very

[fiery lark]

Like write mods

[zealous glen]

@red flower bad placeholder wording but what do you think

[fiery lark]

Is it smth I could do with very limited coding experience

[zealous glen]

Lua isn't the hardest language to learn but it's still a programming language

[fiery lark]

Going off certificate I think seal would be lowercase

[nova eagle]

what would i need to change to make this only trigger if a 7 is in your played hand rather than per played 7?

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'joker4',
    loc_txt = {

[shut crater]

context.cardarea == G.hand

[zealous glen]

I already changed the wording of Certificate in my mod, but also, I haven't decided if I want to capitalize such terms or not

I noticed I have been inconsistent with "negative" and "Negative" before

[red flower]

temporary cards seem cool

[nova eagle]

it doesnt do anything now.... is this right?

 if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then

[zealous glen]

^u^

[nova eagle]

is anybody able to help me make this only trigger once if you play a 7?

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'joker4',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Seven Eleven',
        text = {
        '{C:red}+11 {}mult if played hand',
        'contains a {C:attention}7{}.'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Seven Eleven',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 6,
    config = { extra = { mult = 11 }},
    local_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.mult}}
    end,
    calculate =function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card:get_id() == 7 then
            return{
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

}

this is what i have so far

[runic frigate]

i tried that and it says the same thing in the console, it might be a problem with how my main_lua is but im not sure idk

wait i can see it in the mod section now i think i fixed it

thanks for the help @turbid maple

[primal robin]

[hard flume]

Hihi!

[nova eagle]

can someone help me make it so this triggers only once if played hand contains a 7?

[crystal flicker]

i feel like the solution is simple here to make sure the text shows up correctly as per the calculation done to the "extra" variable, but would that mean i need to do my calculation in the loc_var function? when i tried that it gave me a weird bug where it calculated correctly but then changed it to 0chipsx0mult to there was no way to win the round

[red flower]

return in vars the same card.ability.extra * eight_tally you do in calculate

[wild escarp]

How should I be using remove? because this code just destroys all held and played cards.

if context.destroy_card and not context.blueprint then
    for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
        if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 2 then
            return
            {
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end
end

[turbid maple]

iirc this context is called for each card you have with destroy_card set to the card thats checked to be destroyed or not

so youd have to check if context.destroy_card:get_id() == 2

[wild escarp]

Alright, thanks.

[turbid maple]

i forgor how to check if its part of your scoring hand though

[shut crater]

Ah I misunderstood what you meant by hand originally. So go back to context.cardarea == G.play, but you'll use context.joker_main instead of context.individual. The problem with that is that context.other_card only works for context.individual, so you'll have to iterate over G.play.cards and manually check if any card is a 7

[turbid maple]

oh theres context.scoring_hand right

[wild escarp]

I have scoring_hand inside destroy_card right now, maybe flip that?

[nimble orchid]

how do i mention a variable in the description of a joker?

[turbid maple]

no just like

check if context.destroy_card exists

then check if destroy_card is a 2 and is inside scoring_hand

so uhh actually you could just add another condition to that if

[faint yacht]

You'd want to do the calculation in loc_vars, yeah... and 1+card.ability.extra*eight_tally to make sure you have 1 as base.

[crystal flicker]

eight_tally is a local variable though would i need to recalculate it in loc_vars?

[faint yacht]

Make it a local variable in loc_vars too.

[crystal flicker]

also I don't want 1 as the base, ill make sure to reword so thats more clear (ie if u have 3 8's it will be 0.75x mult bc thats funny)

[wild escarp]

That's better, but it still destroys the 2s held in hand.

[faint yacht]

...fair enough.

[nimble orchid]

ok i got the var working but idk how to change the color of text

[faint yacht]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then

?

[wind steppe]

how do i do mod config

[red flower]

copy from another mod's config

[nimble orchid]

nvm figured it out

[hasty mist]

why does this trigger twice?

and why cant i hover over it

[celest timber]

how do i check if a card is highlighted?

[runic frigate]

how do i give myself a joker to test if it works

[wind steppe]

install debugplus and click 3 while hovering over it in the collection

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus

[runic frigate]

thanks

[loud vortex]

sorry, but how do I utilize that within this? it's incredibly late and I'm struggling to process it a little

[wind steppe]

where would i find another mods config files (as in the files that display and save the config settings not the settings themselves)

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/e925c5dc0bb192877ea82bf0dcb718aabec9d4be/src/jokers.lua#L1132

[red flower]

depends on the mod, it would be in SMODS.current_mod.config_tab

here's mine
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/mod_info.lua#L213

[sturdy compass]

Just PR'd VanillaRemake with backs 🔥

[red flower]

thank you!! ill check it and merge tomorrow

[sturdy compass]

I'm probs gonna keep doing more work on it through tonight so there may be a few more when you go to merge

[nova eagle]

can someone help me make it so that this joker only triggers once if the played hand contains a 7?

[turbid maple]

you are checking individual cards with that

[sturdy compass]

You wouldn't use context.individual for this, individual is for every card of that type

[nova eagle]

so what would i use?

[sturdy compass]

You'd probably run this through context.joker_main, loop through context.scored_hand, and return your mult if you come across a 7

[turbid maple]

joker_main

what he said

yeah

thats the "standard" context that triggers once when a hand is played

[red flower]

if context.joker_main then
    for _, pcard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if pcard:get_id() == 7 then
             return { mult = card.ability.extra.mult }
        end
    end
end

[turbid maple]

individual is for triggering an effect for each card individually

[sturdy compass]

Mans was quick with it

[red flower]

programming on phone is a pain im never doing it again

[nova eagle]

so like this ?

    calculate =function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and context.scored_hand == G.play and
        (context.other_card:get_id() == 7) then
            return{
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult

[red flower]

no

[sturdy compass]

Like this

[sturdy compass]

Been there, agreed

[red flower]

there's no other_card in joker_main and cardarea == G play is never true

[wind steppe]

rental_compat works the same way as eternal_compat and persihable_compat right?

[celest timber]

how do i check if a card is on the G.hand.highlightedlist?

[wind steppe]

steammodded documentation only mentiones eternal, perishable, and modded stickers

[red flower]

card.highlighted

[wild escarp]

I've got this code, which ends up destroying all 2s, played and held in hand. How can I make it affect only played 2s?

if context.destroy_card and not context.blueprint then
    for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
        if context.scoring_hand[i]:get_id() == 2 and context.destroy_card:get_id() == 2 then
            return
            {
                remove = true
            }
        end
    end
end

[red flower]

context.cardarea == G.play

[celest timber]

tysm

[nova eagle]

now im getting this error with the closing bracker

[red flower]

you're missing an end
also if you ask for every single syntax error you're not going to learn lol

[shut crater]

every for, if, and function should have a matching end
you should install the lua extension for vscode

[nova eagle]

OHHH SO THATS HOW THE END FUNCTION WORKS

thats really helpful to know

previously i just had no clue what that did

[lofty sand]

yo after looking into hooks, I'm not sure it's what I want for the joker. the idea of the joker is to add mult to the joker whenever the hand delevels, regardless of if its from the effect of the joker or not (i.e. from the arm). does the arm use level up = -1 ? cause if it doesn't wouldn't a hook not work for that?

[shut crater]

if you want to do something whenever anything in the whole game calls a specific function (such as changing the level of a hand) you must use a hook

[red flower]

the arm uses level_up_hand(), same as returning level_up directly so yes you want to hook that

[lofty sand]

got it okay

[hexed heath]

cooking

[celest timber]

lmao thats actually really cool

[lofty sand]

that's insane lmao

pay to win

(joking, that's really funny)

[hexed heath]

open more tabs for more mult

[lofty sand]

no need, a single chrome tab will do

[runic frigate]

thats actually so sick

[hexed heath]

fr

[nova eagle]

nope, im stuck on this again

the } at the very end is whats giving me issues

[turbid maple]

literally p2w

[red flower]

you're still missing an end

the same one

[nova eagle]

ohh i see now

that seems to have done the trick

OHHHH I MISSED THE FUNCTION

cool, the joker works great now

thanks for the help

[shut crater]

^
you should really install the lua extension if you're struggling with minor syntax errors

click that and search for lua and then install it

[nova eagle]

tried doing that already... it just says this

i got no clue where to even find that

[celest timber]

uhm, so what im doing is discarding cards the moment they get drawn, but for some reason it discards like 2 times and then it stays like this, do i have to add a delay or something?

[red flower]

it says that you need to open a folder instead of just a file i guess

[nova eagle]

ah

[loud vortex]

I'll admit I'm struggling to parse the connection for ride the bus's scoring context since there isn't a get:id there and I don't know how getting the id relates to the context that triggers the effect of turning the played clubs into glass if they're in seperate context statuses and if the king's id is 13 or K and how it recognises the king is a club either

[vast bough]

might be a silly question but what is the code for checking if a scored card is of a specific seal im going insane tryna bruteforce it

[loud vortex]

I feel like I'm going insane, and like I'm retaining no info despite scanning steammodded's github for literal days 😭

[red flower]

that's an example of how to use the context to iterate through a hand and check a condition

you need to change the is_face check for the other checks you want to do

kings are 13

[red flower]

iirc the info is in card.seal

[torpid plume]

hey y'all
i'm trying to make a joker (for learning purposes lmao) that converts all played cards into Polychrome Red Seal Steel Kings.
i know how to do the steel part (looking at the code of Midas Mask) but i have no idea what the syntax is for the edition, seal, and rank

any help would be appreciated

[red flower]

card:set_edition("e_polychrome")
card:set_seal("Red")
SMODS.change_base(card, nil, "King")

[midnight coyote]

thats actually awesome lmao

[torpid plume]

TYSM
i assumed it was relatively straightforward lol

[modern kindle]

im gonna have to max my numbers more if i want true use out of that ram joker....

[hexed heath]

DAMN

that's enough ram to open 3 chrome tabs

[vast bough]

64gb gang

[modern kindle]

woah there, dont get ahead of yourself, its 2

[modern kindle]

we ball
im lookin to do 128 soon, but life has been in my way

[celest timber]

how do i get the max hand size?

[vast bough]

ram has gotten so much cheaper in the last like 5 years. i remember paying like 150 for an 8gb stick maybe a decade or so ago

[midnight coyote]

what the fuck do you even do with that much ram

[hexed heath]

2 tabs + a new tab page

[vast bough]

verifiably true

[midnight coyote]

i hardly even use 9GB 😭

[modern kindle]

Host a modded Mc server, some programming on the side that stays open, gaming
Nothing closes while I'm on
So it eats some ram

[midnight coyote]

i have 5 chrome tabs, discord, balatro, intellij, aseprite, 2 terminals open

[midnight coyote]

oh hosting an mc server is the ram muncher

i see

restart that every so often

memory leaks are a bitch

[vast bough]

3d modelling and data science stuff also

[lucid owl]

where are retriggers calculated? currently working on a joker whose effect triggers every time a card is retriggered

[shut crater]

godspeed soldier, the score calculation functions are some al dente spaghetti

[lucid owl]

yeah i'm beginning to realize this is a journey i may regret

unfortunate because the effect is very cool

[midnight coyote]

this seems like death by a million function hooks to me

[red flower]

yoooo this looks so cool

[midnight coyote]

i would SMODS.calculate_context on retrigger jokers

[vast bough]

this and 4 oops all 6s

[midnight coyote]

just make your own context

[lucid owl]

never done that before

what's the path for making a custom context exactly?
