[torpid plume]

thats fair!

[sturdy compass]

yerr

[analog spoke]

how, uhm, how does one do talisman compat stuff? lol
I'm trying to make a bull-esuque joker and it's crashing from the whole "money is a table now" thing 💀

[sturdy compass]

First thing you've gotta do is add this function to your code

to_big = to_big or function(num)
    return num
end

[analog spoke]

ok, that part is now done!

[sturdy compass]

Really quick can I see the code?

[analog spoke]

code of the joker I assume?

[sullen fern]

kaboom

[sturdy compass]

Ok now I'm confused because usually crashes like yours happen due to a comparison, but I assume it's happening with math.max???

[sullen fern]

now i need to do this for… every other tribe

[analog spoke]

idk, lol, hehe, here's the crash if that helps any

[sullen fern]

and THEN, i need to make sure that every joker that’s a part of a specific tribe gets a badge saying what tribe it’s a part of

[narrow iron]

i mean, math.max does use comparison, even if its not specifically what caused the error it would still cause an error when its run

[drifting topaz]

Does anyone know how to make the auto completions work for VS code?

[sullen fern]

also…

[sturdy compass]

Ooooooh I know what the probem is now. Since you're multiplying a number with a bignum, you're returning a bignum and the game can't calculate your chip gain from that

[drifting topaz]

I use the Lua extension by sumneko

[sturdy compass]

try wrapping your chip calculation in a to_number() wrapper

[analog spoke]

I'm curious, where is wee joker here? I could see it being charming, heartful, or slippery (I know nothing about yokai watch, lol, going purely off vibes here)

[low parrot]

Hi, so I'm trying to make a joker that has the possibility of changing playing cards enhancements, ranks and editions, currently the editions part is fine, but I have no idea of how to do the others hahaha, this is my crash report and my current code

[analog spoke]

which part of it?

[narrow iron]

has someone made a list of every variable that has to be wrapped for talisman?

[sturdy compass]

In your return table, everything after chips =

[sturdy compass]

Pfft I wish

[narrow iron]

dang

[analog spoke]

okey, I'll try it like this, then 👍

[sturdy compass]

to_number

[analog spoke]

okey!

[sullen fern]

slippery tribe members are usually serpentine like, so that’s a no-go.
wee joker is charming because regular joker is charming

decided to change snartle just a teeny weeny bit

[narrow iron]

so i changed the ability.Xmult value for glass cards, and it properly reflects that change in the description, but it still gives 2x mult even when not set to 2x

[sullen fern]

now for the mysterious tribe.

[analog spoke]

it works now, thank you! :>

[sturdy compass]

Woohoo!

np!

[sturdy compass]

Huh, that's a weird one

[hallow forge]

Jimbonyan

[narrow iron]

yea i looked through every occurrence of m_glass and Xmult and i have no idea why its happened

[sturdy compass]

What's the timing of you changing the Xmult?

[narrow iron]

on creation

[sullen fern]

so the various tribe themed buffoon packs will have, well, jokers from those specific tribes.

[sturdy compass]

try self.ability.x_mult = 1.5

[sullen fern]

kinda like cryptid’s meme packs

[narrow iron]

huhh.. Xmult is used for the description, and x_mult is used for scoring

[sturdy compass]

Yep lmfao

[narrow iron]

weird

[sturdy compass]

blame Thunk

[sage crater]

Is it possible to have the extra.mult value also affect a pseudorandom outcome?

[lucid owl]

how could i make this joker's status message pop up right when the card is added, rather than when the hand is scored?

[sturdy compass]

Sure. You can run the check with any basic math comparison

[sage crater]

Gnarly

[lucid owl]

(as in, have "Copied!" show up when the card is added to the played hand, not when the hand is scored and other jokers add mult)

[sage crater]

Wicked, even

[sturdy compass]

Move your card_eval_status_text to the end of the conditional and wrap everything else that handles the card creation in an Event Manager

[lucid owl]

sick, okay

[sturdy compass]

I will say your code would very much benefit from some SMODS util functions

[hazy mountain]

hey all, im having trouble translating my joker ability to code. the ability is when the sum of cards played equal 14, lose 10 dollars, but gain 14 chips, and i would like to keep the chips on the joker, similar to wee joker. also here's an image of what i have so far.

[lucid owl]

like what? something like SMODS.add_card? i had figured that wouldn't work on playing cards

[sturdy compass]

That and SMODS.calculate_effect as a replacement for card_eval_status_text

[lucid owl]

what would be passed to SMODS.add_card()?

i figured that was just for creating a card from scratch and also adding it to an area

[sleek cliff]

So I'm trying to make a planet that upgrades two hand types, it exists, but when I try to discover it the game crashes

[lucid owl]

so copying wouldn't work there

[sturdy compass]

Honestly you don't really have to do anything lmao

Your code works

[lucid owl]

event manager wrapping gives the desired effect but results in ghost carding after the hand is put back into the deck

[lucid owl]

yeah fair lol

[narrow iron]

i could hook the smods function that handles glass cards breaking, buuuut just setting the chance to 1 in 9x10^37 is a lot funnier

[lucid owl]

forgot this part

[sturdy compass]

I would emplace the new card somewhere that isn't G.play because clearly things can get fucky when you do that mid-hand lol

[lucid owl]

it's already emplaced into G.play weirdly enough

so that must not be the issue

oh i misread

my bad

[sturdy compass]

I was boutta say 😭

[lucid owl]

lol

now i gotta think of where to put it

maybe put it into the hand then immediately discard it

[sturdy compass]

G.discard is also not a bad option if you're gonna discard it anyways

[lucid owl]

true, but it might be nice to show the player that specifically the leftmost was indeed copied

emplacing into G.discard just doesn't show the card at all (given that it's offscreen ofc)

[sturdy compass]

Could maybe add a delay in your code that emplaces it in G.play at first and then emplaces it into G.discard

[lucid owl]

yeah, that's what i'm thinking

[timid parrot]

@compact girder replying to your question in #⚙・modding-general , I highly recommend reading the documentation for Jokers on the steamodded wiki on their GitHub. It has a list of attributes (including rarity, which is a number for base game rarities)

[high sinew]

this should be only chaning the spades to gold enhancement and does everything in hand instead I have a feeling its the full hand i use in the for loop is there something better to use to have it turn cards that are only spades?

[sturdy compass]

Don't use a loop here. just apply the changes to context.other_card

[timid parrot]

The context loops through each card already. No need to write your own loop

[sturdy compass]

Or if you want every card to change at the same time, do it in context.before

[high sinew]

ah that makes sense thanks guys

[high sinew]

it does a card snake that I intentionally build shown in pic so it is meant to do individually

[sturdy compass]

Nice

[compact girder]

Ooh I didn't know that was a thing! I was able to figure it out by looking through past messages in the server but where can I find it for future mods?

[timid parrot]

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

sidebar has the table of contents

SMODS.Joker for Jokers, but there's documentation for most other things you'd want to make

[viral grotto]

I'm trying to learn modding, and the first thing I'm trying is just renaming some of the stuff from the base game. I have this in the file localization/en-us.lua. Could somebody tell me why it isn't working?

return {
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            j_balatro_joker = {
                name = "Jimbo",
            }
        }
    }
}

[sturdy compass]

For vanilla objects you don’t need a mod prefix

[viral grotto]

so it would just be j_joker?

[sturdy compass]

Yep!

[narrow iron]

yep

[viral grotto]

thanks

[viral grotto]

hey i know you!

[narrow iron]

lol :3

[sullen fern]

havent done this in a bit but here's all the heartful tribe jokers

so far assigning all of the jokers to a specific tribe is, well, easy.

the hard part will be, well, making a badge appear for each joker in the tribe.

might have to hijack the ui code for that

[hazy mountain]

still playing around with it, im thinking i need to make a calculate sum of hand played but unsure how to go about it since steam modded wiki seems to only show per card or im potentially misunderstanding.

[hazy mountain]

woah thats cool

[timid parrot]

you probably want to use the before context and sum all the cards' nominals (I think) using a for loop

do you have the base game's code?

[hazy mountain]

i believe i do

i do just double checked

[timid parrot]

also just a design suggestion, making the player pay $10 to upgrade their joker is kinda brutal, especially for only +14 chips. I'd recommend removing that and just making the requirement be cards sum to 14

[hazy mountain]

yeah this is more a private mod based on in jokes

with my friends

[timid parrot]

ah gotcha

[hazy mountain]

its silly basically context is, one of my friends talks a lot about ff14 and thats her game, which resulted in another friend saying every time you mention the game were gonna tax you 10 dollars (jokingly ofc)

[timid parrot]

nice

[hazy mountain]

also this is my first time trying to code anything so thoroughly confused

[sullen fern]

still need to do shady, eerie, and slippery

[brisk rose]

So, for the fuck of it, I asked ai (gpt o3) what it knew about balatro modding again. Most of it is hialousoly wrong, and tbh this isn't any exception, but it's weirdly spot-on with the formatting of a joker definition. Just things are named wrong

local M = {}

M.joker = {
  slug   = 'lucky_rabbit',
  rarity = 2,
  cost   = 7,
  blueprint_compat = true,
  loc = {
    name = 'Lucky Rabbit',
    text = {'+3× if hand contains', 'exactly one ♠ Ace'}
  },
  sprite = 'lucky_rabbit.png',
}

function M.joker.effect(self, ctx)
  if ctx.stage == 'before_score'
     and ctx.hand.count == 5
     and ctx.hand:contains_exact('A', 'S', 1) then
       return {mult = +3, message = '+3× Lucky Rabbit'}
  end
end

register_joker(M.joker)```

[sullen fern]

wicked will be cryptid-compat exclusive

[brisk rose]

and yes, they totally made up lucky rabbit, lol

weird coincidence

[brisk rose]

and yes, slug isn't of key /was/ a thing in the early days. idk why though

[sullen fern]

yes, there will be compats for different mods.

specifically with more vanilla-like mods such as ortalab and bunco

all of the luas for those will be stored in a “mod-compat” folder

[brisk rose]

also idk how this format would work for more than one jokers? it seems like an object's subtable

[hazy mountain]

i had trouble looking for the before context and nominals on the steam modded wiki will this be something i need to find in the lua handbook?

[umbral zodiac]

how would i check if a played hand has a specific amount of scoring 9's?

[timid parrot]

this is all Balatro stuff

[shell timber]

loop through context.scoring_hand?

[narrow iron]

iterate through it and count em

[umbral zodiac]

oh my job its triangle

i thought there would be a way that didnt involve looping tbh but i dont have a problem with it

[sullen fern]

if anyone was looking forward to polterworx compatablity, you’d be sorely mistaken.

[timid parrot]

they're trying to figure out if the cards all sum to a number, which all has to be done at once

[hybrid shadow]

alr so, this might be a bit complicated

the first gap,, the (_____), is essentially supposed to detect that a card with a certain sticker is in the hand. i assume this ends with "in area==G.hand" or something similar, idk what the acual code here ahould be

the second thing, the [variable], is supposed to have something that says how many of the sticker are in the hand so that gets used. i also dont know what would be put here

[sullen fern]

balatro-kai will NEVER be compatable with polterworx.

there’s too many hoops i would have to jump through to make it compatable with it

and even then i’m iffy on cryptid compatability

think of cryptid compatability as a “maybe”, and not a “definitely”

[sturdy compass]

Nominals are probably documented in SMODS.Rank while the contexts can be found in Calculate Functions

[sullen fern]

and of course, balatro-kai watch won’t be compatable with EVERY mod.

well, specifically the tribe system.

is there a yo-kai that makes you work on balatro mods for extended periods of time

i mean, there’s wydeawake and allnyta that keep you up at night but that’s not specifically balatro related

[shell quest]

tryna figure out delay stuff but this seems to run the start and end prints at the same time?

[timid star]

got the alt versions working for when the joker is negative

[narrow iron]

WHAT

[marble flint]

delay just adds an event to the event queue. the code around it all runs at once. the correct way to use delay:

[sullen fern]

no comely material morning, sad.

[marble flint]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event { func = function() print("start") return true end })
delay(5)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event { func = function() print("end") return true end })

[shell quest]

is that meant to be add_event

[marble flint]

yes

[timid star]

[hazy mountain]

okay this is what i have now, im trying to figure which equation i need for the context.

[sullen fern]

i would like to make a small suggestion
i think using the actual horse win sound effect from hrt would make this joker just a smidgeon better

[hazy mountain]

also thanks for the help so far i forgot to say thank you to you all

[sullen fern]

you can hear it in this upload
https://youtu.be/S14WPb3w10U?si=VPQYrAPEiKlge1eM

[timid star]

thats.... what i did?

comely's theme is too quiet in the mod though i'll fix that

[sullen fern]

no like, the horse neigh sfx

[timid star]

oh

the niegh sfx is a random one i found on youtube that i though seemed similar

i used this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCML7FBPkGA video to get each of the horses' themes

[sullen fern]

decided to extract it myself

[timid star]

neat

i'll use that then i'll have to list down that in some credits

[sullen fern]

no need to credit me because its not even my sound effect, lol

i just gave it to you so you wouldn’t have to extract it yourself

[timid star]

alri lol

i also gave the

green horse the legacy theme because why not

[sullen fern]

anyways i probably should get back to working on my mod

[timid star]

gl with that

[sullen fern]

you can probably only get the nightmare horses from the negative version of the card

[timid star]

yeah thats what i did

you only get the nightmare horses when the card is negative

[sullen fern]

mysterious figure, garbage bin, nighttime knifemare

[timid star]

alt form of the joker when turning it negative

even the background changes

[sullen fern]

wait, do multiple copies of the joker make their victory themes overlap

[timid star]

no they take turns

[sullen fern]

ah

[timid star]

it does make you wait 5 seconds for each of them to play their own theme but thats on you for racking up so many hrt jokers

[sullen fern]

nostalgic invisible joker:

nostalgic googol play card:

[timid star]

i dont know if cryptid is compatible with my mod yet

[sullen fern]

chameleon joker:

[narrow iron]

i love it

[hybrid shadow]

this is giving me flashbacks to the fnaf sb chaos mod

[narrow iron]

yea!

[shell quest]

i <3 SMODS.restart_game()

[timid star]

our table!

[hybrid shadow]

for shits and giggles considering the context of the original sound effect, this should also destroy all glass cards in the deck when used

[timid star]

some themes are longer than 5 seconds but 5 seconds is enough

[narrow iron]

thats amazing

[sullen fern]

no mysterious figure or knifemare…

[hybrid shadow]

whats causing the ticking in these

[timid star]

im also using their tournament sprite

[timid star]

BLAME YAHIAMICE I DONT KNOW

it's ticking me off

it's the yahimod doing something

[rugged pier]

is there a way to "boost" editions and enhancements values by a certain value without taking ownership of them (i want this to be mod compatible)

[timid star]

idk what its doing

[timid star]

it's in the video

[sullen fern]

oh, there they are

[timid star]

evil intimidating green horse

[sullen fern]

scary ao oni horse

[timid star]

now i need 16 different separate effects for each horse

....that's a lot for an rng joker

[shell timber]

oh yeah to fix the ticking

[timid star]

did the yahimod recently update

[shell timber]

go to items/jokers.lua, search for Game:update, then comment out the first play_sound

it'll be in the next update

[timid star]

i was looking for that

but i wouldn't expect it to be in the fucking jokers lua file

[sullen fern]

i bet on losing horses…

but in balatro, every horse is a winner

i like how the music comically lowers in pitch and stops to make room for the horse theme

[timid star]

there was this idea of making the horses winning weighted

idk how to actually do that but

lmao

[timid star]

i made a small patch that hooks up the music pitch/speed to a variable i can instantly change whenever and the music will automatically lerp (due to the game's built in code) to that speed

the game music was getting in the way of the horse themes and i didn't just want to make the themes louder

[thorn flame]

this is fucking crazy

what do they all do

[timid star]

nothing right now

but im about to come up with all 16 individual effects

each horse does something special so im gonna have to get around that

also have to take into account that horses change after every blind

each horse is a table so i can just give each table its own function that the joker will use

[hazy mountain]

okay i think im figuring out just messing with, when i tried to open the game i got this message and unsure what it means

[thorn flame]

love it

[frigid blaze]

Can you tell me how to increase the probability of a certain rarity appearing when I have j1 in my hand?

[hazy mountain]

lines 9-13

[frigid blaze]

,

[shut crater]

Missing comma on line 11

[hazy mountain]

okie dokie

strange

coding is odd

i have no experience what so ever

[shut crater]

I would suggest installing the Lua extension so that vscode will automatically highlight syntax errors like that

[timid star]

wait there's an extension for that?

[hazy mountain]

oh woah thats cool

[daring fern]

Yes.

[frigid blaze]

You wouldn't happen to know how to do that, would you?
Increase the probability of a rarity appearing when j1 is in hand?

[shut crater]

I've not dealt with rarities, sorry

[timid star]

wait what is it called

[hazy mountain]

where can i find the lua extension

[daring fern]

Lua

[daring fern]

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumneko.lua

[shut crater]

On the left sidebar there's an icon with 4 squares that says extensions when you hover over it. Click that and then search for lua

[hazy mountain]

okie dokie its downloading

assuming it will automatically flag for errors with extension

may have to reload the code first?

[frigid blaze]

Second day I can't customize the joker and no one knows, buzz😀

[tawdry oriole]

how do you do probabilities and randomness like for gros michel or glass cards

[daring fern]

if pseudorandom('seed') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / odds

[hazy mountain]

lua extension working now thanks everybody

[timid star]

well now my whole thing is lined with yellow underlines lmao

[daring fern]

Yes, thats normal.

[hazy mountain]

anyone know what this means

[timid star]

thats how it be

[tawdry oriole]

thanks, i really can't find the right documentation for this (steammodded's documentation is rather limited)

[narrow iron]

you gave ipairs a string instead of a table?

[hazy mountain]

im not for sure what that is im sorry

[timid star]

ipairs is used in for loops

[daring fern]

How did this crash occur?

[frigid blaze]

How can rarity be influenced through the joker?

[hazy mountain]

i just opened my game

[timid star]

you probably fed a function a string instead of a table

[narrow iron]

ipairs takes a table and returns the keys and values separately

[hazy mountain]

i figured i could get by without having to use a nominal, since i had trouble still finding it on steammodded wiki, so i thought i could do it this way

[daring fern]

calculate?

[timid star]

whats calculate doing there

[daring fern]

Atlas?

[narrow iron]

atlas is correct right

[hazy mountain]

i thought i needed calculate since the wiki said i needed it

[daring fern]

No, it's atlas

[narrow iron]

oh nvm

[timid star]

for atlas you do need your mod prefix before the atlas key

[daring fern]

No?

[hazy mountain]

is that the header

[timid star]

wait

nvm

[daring fern]

Change Atlas to atlas in your joker and remove calculate in loc_txt

[hazy mountain]

took out calculate and it still did it

[hazy mountain]

oh i see

does the last atlas in green need to be upper case or lower case

[daring fern]

Lowercase.

[hazy mountain]

alrighty

[frigid blaze]

Aaaaaaaaaaaa

How can rarity be influenced through the joker?

[hazy mountain]

fixed the atlas code and its now saying this

[daring fern]

Code?

[hazy mountain]

oh forgot that let me grab that

[daring fern]

Change atlas to Atlas on the top one.

[hazy mountain]

will do

now its saying ipairs again

huh

oh its the loc txt isnt it

[daring fern]

Why is there a random ; in there?

[hazy mountain]

my extension said syntax error

i think i needed maybe a comma instead

[narrow iron]

yep

i think ik where your ipairs error is

[hazy mountain]

ipairs again what

oh

really

[daring fern]

Remove the spaces in the atlas key.

[narrow iron]

your text in loc_vars should be a list
example:

[hazy mountain]

like this

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

Put { and } around it.

[narrow iron]

put { after text = and put } after the second string in your description

[hazy mountain]

like this?

[daring fern]

No.

[timid star]

it should look like this

you put your text in between the braces

[daring fern]

text = {
    'if scoring_hand = 14',
    'gain {C:chips}+14{}',
    }

[narrow iron]

text = {
'if scoring_hand = 14',
'gain {C:chips}+#14#(),
}

just too late lol

[daring fern]

text not test

[narrow iron]

oop

typo

[hazy mountain]

this?

[daring fern]

Remove that first comma.

[hazy mountain]

one after the key line

or the one after 14

[daring fern]

The one after the {

[hazy mountain]

oh okay

am i going about the wrong way to learn it, i just started messing with using videos and such

and steammodded wiki

thanks everyone game finally launched

[unkempt kestrel]

guys how can i get the total amount of chips scored in context.final_scoring_step

[daring fern]

Just hand_chips

[unkempt kestrel]

ok cool

[frigid blaze]

Is there any way to affect default_weight via joker?

[sturdy compass]

I highly recommend taking a look at other mods’ code as reference. Scrolling through chat I saw a ton of things where they really shouldn’t be

[hazy mountain]

alrighty sounds good

would cryptid be a good one to look at since there is a lot of jokers in that one

[sturdy compass]

In some cases yeah. The more complicated features I would not, as since you’re a lot less experienced with Lua you’d most likely just get lost in some of those massive blocks of code

There’s also some example mods provided by Steamodded that are heavily commented to convey what’s going on. Lemme see if I can find those rq

[hazy mountain]

ooh they sound nice

[sturdy compass]

There they are https://github.com/Steamodded/examples

[wintry solar]

Cryptid is one of the worst to reference imo

[hazy mountain]

thanks!

[wintry solar]

It uses its own conventions that over complicate things and it’s written by multiple different people who have varying levels of knowledge

[sturdy compass]

Of course

[sturdy compass]

This is very much why I said “in some cases” lmao

[wintry solar]

It also has a lot of “if it works, it works” coding style

I’d recommend looking at N’s vanilla remade (I don’t have a link handy) which implement vanilla effects in the smods style, or something like ortalab

[hazy mountain]

oh yeah ortalab

oh would neatos be good then too

[tawdry oriole]

how do you test for multiple conditions (like if and elseif) in a calculate function?

[daring fern]

if condition1 and condition2 then?

[sturdy compass]

Having contributed to VanillaRemade myself, I would also recommend it. We’re trying hard to give people a good look into vanilla functionality without the speghetti

[tawdry oriole]

not really, i meant as like you test a condition and you test another one aside but for another calculation

as in "if this is true then do that" "or if this is true then do this"

[unkempt kestrel]

am i stupid this isnt scoring anything

[daring fern]

if condition1 then
    -- code
end
if condition2 then
    -- code
end
```?

[sturdy compass]

Here we are https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[hazy mountain]

hype

[sturdy compass]

Resources aplenty

[tawdry oriole]

that kinda works, thanks

[violet sparrow]

G.playing_cards doesnt consider the new suits and therefore cards i've added... how do i go about adding the new cards to G.playing_cards? nvm it does i just screwed up another part

[sullen fern]

there's only 5 slippery tribe vanilla jokers so...

[bold sleet]

Perhaps someone could help me with text inputs?

They seem to uh... not like to work at all.

[tawdry oriole]

how would you gain money like the golden joker does but without using calc_dollar_bonus?

[daring fern]

ease_dollars(number)?

You mean context.end_of_round and context.main_eval + ^^?

[bold sleet]

ye, i stupid

-# mb sry

[rugged pier]

can i access a joker's config values outside the joker from another function?

[daring fern]

joker.ability.configvalues

[rugged pier]

tysm

[bold sleet]

I think card.ability.(...)

Where card stands for your joker.

[bold sleet]

anyone?

guess I'll go ask the cryptid guy

[daring fern]

How does one prevent this but coming from a fake card?

[rugged pier]

if next(SMODS.find_card('j_mxfj_dungeon_jester')) then
        multiplier = SMODS.find_card('j_mxfj_dungeon_jester').ability.extra * 100
``` like so?

[daring fern]

No.

SMODS.find_card returns a table.

[sullen fern]

shady and eerie

[rugged pier]

ah, what do i do then

[daring fern]

You iterate over it?

[sullen fern]

so, now that i have every joker assigned to a tribe

time to impliment the badge

like this

[tawdry oriole]

any clue why this happens?

[hard mica]

How do you bring that menu? Or you are making that menu

[bold sleet]

I am making it.

[hard mica]

That's pretty cool

[sullen fern]

i really don’t know how to implement this though.

[bold sleet]

DebugPlusPlus, or balatro mod menu, or megahack v1

[bold sleet]

Kind of need that to be a text input

[hazy mountain]

okay tried using the runner 2 code from steam modded examples to set up storing and gaining extra chips but then told me it had an error on line 38, when before that line was fine

[wintry solar]

you need to return a table of key-value pairs

[hard mica]

DebugPlusPlus sounds funneh

Maybe go with that

[bold sleet]

The other two names are just for shit and jiggles

[sullen fern]

i know it has something to do with ui

[bold sleet]

Now for real, help

Why does it break like that and now fix?

[tawdry oriole]

how would i do that though?

[sullen fern]

i’ve never really done something of this caliber before (a whole entire new gimmick)

all i’ve really done is create seperate object types for each of the tribes.

the whole “having a badge that shows off the tribe the joker is in” thing is a bit far-off for me but i want to make it happen god damn it

[cloud crag]

where do i download the EnhancedEnhancements resource pack

[sullen fern]

so. i need some launching off point for this. how would i make it so jokers part of a specific object type display a badge corresponding to their object type

[unkempt kestrel]

i dont think this is how i use hand_chips how do i get that

also is there anywhere i can see all of the variables i can access from here

like theres hand_chips and such (i think?) but where can i see them

[sullen fern]

it has to do with, something ui related for sure

idk, i’m tired.

[rugged pier]

hi, is card:get_edition called everytime a hand is played?

im trying to modify effects of editions and hooked into that function as it is used in eval_card()

but it seems to not work upon a hand being played

[daring fern]

It's not called ever.

[rugged pier]

-- Modifies Edition Values
local base_get_edition = Card.get_edition
function Card.get_edition(self)
    local ret = base_get_edition(self)
    if not ret then return end
    if next(SMODS.find_card('j_mxfj_dungeon_jester')) then
        multiplier = 1.5
        print(multiplier)
    else
        multiplier = 1
    end
    -- Mult
    if ret.x_mult then ret.x_mult = ret.x_mult * multiplier end
    if ret.h_mult then ret.h_mult = ret.h_mult * multiplier end
    if ret.mult then ret.mult = ret.mult * multiplier end

    -- Message overrides
    if ret.x_mult_mod then
        ret.x_mult = ret.x_mult_mod * multiplier

    end
    print(ret)
    return ret
end

[rugged pier]

oh

[rugged pier]

seems to be called here?

line 618

[daring fern]

You are looking in the source code, not the lovely dump.

[daring fern]

That's replaced with local edition = card:calculate_edition(context)

[rugged pier]

i see

[daring fern]

I kind of fixed this but now it doesn't move when you drag it.

[bold sleet]

question: where does the game store in what ante you are in?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante?

[tawdry oriole]

i'm still getting the rancid ipairs problem even though i am returning a key-value pair

[lofty sand]

if I'm trying to make a copy effect joker, how could I check if the (vanilla/modded) joker it's trying to copy is blueprint compatible?

[native zinc]

card.config.center.blueprint_compat

brainstorm does G.jokers.cards[1].config.center.blueprint_compat

[lofty sand]

in vanilla balatro?

I'm searching through balatro's base code and can't find that, is it in the card.lua or somewhere else?

[native zinc]

yeah

[daring fern]

[prime beacon]

Trying to figure out how to find the value for the played cards chip value, incl. hiker/bonus/foil, and then add it to it's own counter

tried

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroy_card and not context.blueprint then
            if #context.full_hand == 1 and context.destroy_card == context.full_hand[1] and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.base.nominal
                return{
                    remove = true,            
                    message = 'Sacrificed!',
                }
            end
        end
end

but unfortunately, the card is destroyed but no chips are added.

Tried

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroy_card and not context.blueprint then
            if #context.full_hand == 1 and context.destroy_card == context.full_hand[1] and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
            card.abilitry.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + context.other_card:get_id() 
                return{
                    remove = true,            
                    message = 'Sacrificed!',
                }
            end
        end
end

but when a card is played, I get the following error

the card id won't do what i want exactly, but at least adds the value to the card

[daring fern]

It's context.destroy_card and you should use context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus()

[lofty sand]

yeah, this worked. thanks :)

[prime beacon]

replaced if context.destroy_card and not context.blueprint then with if context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus() and not context.blueprint then, game loads but if i start a round with the card equipped i get the error attempt to index field 'destroy_card' [a nil value]

Tried

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.destroy_card and not context.blueprint then
            if #context.full_hand == 1 and context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus() == context.full_hand[1] and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
                return{
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                    remove = true,            
                    message = 'Sacrificed!',
                }
            end
        end
end

and the game loads, but the effect no longer resolves

[daring fern]

No, I meant you should use context.destroy_card:get_chip_bonus() for getting the chips.

[prime beacon]

oh... i see. Working now, tyvm

[tawdry oriole]

(quick bump cause that's still not working)

[daring fern]

What is that line in misc_functions.lua in the lovely dump?

[daring fern]

What does your loc_txt look like?

[tawdry oriole]

yeah that's what i figured out, the game launches fine without the loc_txt

[daring fern]

The text field needs to be a table.

[tawdry oriole]

oh my god i'm so dumb

thank you

[manic rune]

did someone react to my message from like 2-3 weeks ago?? 😭

im actually flabbergasted

[manic rune]

the message in question

i am so confused right now

what do you mean line 652 is on top of everything??

[daring fern]

That happens sometimes.

[subtle hawk]

Is there a context for ante changing (Going up/down)

[daring fern]

No.

[subtle hawk]

Ty

[tawdry oriole]

how am i even indexing game here?

[daring fern]

It's G.GAME.probabilities.normal?

[tawdry oriole]

yeah i figured out that mistake

thanks

[pure salmon]

this always gives the money and i cannot for the life of me figure out why

it's meant to only proc when you play at least three 7s

[valid dove]

isnt G.playing_cards your entire deck?

you should check context.scoring_hand

[pure salmon]

well that explans it, thank you

[frigid blaze]

Help, how to affect default_weight via joker?

[manic rune]

im confused

why does the input box not show any text, and the Inventory text doesnt appear when the ui is first opened?

like, its only when the ui is first opened too

am i doing something wrong??

[red flower]

creating a text input in balatro

[manic rune]

🥀

is this why thunk barely uses it

[red flower]

or maybe it's bad because he barely uses it

[manic rune]

true...

do i just not add any searching function and let players scroll through like 50 pages of items then

❤️

[red flower]

you need to figure it out so i can later steal it for my graveyard sorting

[manic rune]

wha

[red flower]

i want to add a search to the gy in my mod too

[manic rune]

fair

i will see what i can do

[midnight coyote]

what does this mean? here's the code for reference:

return {SMODS.blueprint_effect(card,right_joker,context), SMODS.blueprint_effect(card,left_joker,context)}

[daring fern]

That is not how you copy multiple jokers at the same time.

[red flower]

you're trying to return no repetitions in a repetition context

[midnight coyote]

well how do i do it then? ive tried calculating effect, ive tried a million home made solutions

im stumped :[

[red flower]

did calculate_effect not work?

why if not

[midnight coyote]

no, blueprint_effect returns nil and calculate_effect expects a value

[red flower]

??

i told you to nil check

[midnight coyote]

it doesnt return anything

[faint yacht]

...did I not link you my multi-copying thing earlier?

[red flower]

local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(...)
if ret then SMODS.calculate_effect(...) end

[daring fern]

You would probably to do something like ```lua
local effects_table = {}
effects_table[1] = blueprinteffect
effects_table[2] = blueprinteffect
return functionthatdoesrecursiveextras(effects_table)

[midnight coyote]

okay let me try this

[daring fern]

This would let you copy everything that gets returned.

[midnight coyote]

im gonna look at what ali did too, i forgot about it because as I mentioned, it was late, and i was more focued on going to sleep

[daring fern]

Instead of just what SMODS.calculate_effect supports.

[red flower]

is there something calculate_effect doesn't support

[daring fern]

Retriggers.

[red flower]

makes sense

[midnight coyote]

okay, now ive got this

is this correct, or does the return line go in the if statement

[manic rune]

🤔 actually, does create_text_input even use callback??

[red flower]

that's correct

[midnight coyote]

HOLLY FUCKING SHIT IT WORKS

FINALLY

okay, now how do i change the color to green

🤔

[daring fern]

ret.colour = G.C.GREEN

[midnight coyote]

thanks

[manic rune]

i

how did i even get this shi to work for the config tab in my pther mod???

😭

[unborn bay]

fuck you even doing

[manic rune]

adding create_text_input to my inventory menu

but the function is so jank its unreal

[manic rune]

^ whats going on rn

[unborn bay]

text input in general is fucking wack

[manic rune]

like, why the hell does it even make DynaText not appear??? 😭

hwo does it even affect this

i might need to create my own text_input function at this point

bad fix but i have the text input box auto-selected when the ui is opened, so i guess thats problem solved?
-# tbf its a shit fix but at least i dont have to try and fix the whole function

actually, never mind

all it needed was a :recalculate when the ui loads

how do you set money to zero?

[runic pecan]

You can see how Wraith and The Ox does it.
ease_dollars(-[your total interest]), where I forgot the variable name for [your total interest].
You get the idea.

[rugged pier]

i have no idea what is happening but this is very cool

[manic rune]

this is

a crafting table

[tawdry oriole]

thank you

[runic pecan]

So, I have a voucher with the unlock condition labelled "Have your full deck consist of only one suit", but in reality it just counts how many card of your full deck is with each suit and unlocks the voucher if any suit counter equals the size of your full deck.
How do I rephrase it better?

[manic rune]

enhanced anvil reminds me of that golden anvil you would find in holocure

[manic rune]

🤔 so if i get your message right, having 5 heart cards and 5 club cards should still unlock that?

or wait

hm

[runic pecan]

"Collab" feature is on my to-do list, that's for sure.

[manic rune]

if the suit number needs to be equal to the size of your full deck, then doesnt that mean the full deck only has one suit?

unless you somehow got 53/52 cards, idk

[sturdy compass]

Bouquet sounds familiar 👀

[manic rune]

is that benson's suit from regular show

[runic pecan]

No, what I means is, for example, if your full deck consists of only Heart cards except one wild Club, it still counts as meeting the unlock condition.

[manic rune]

Have your full deck consist of only one suit. (Wild cards are excluded)? id probably try to specify that wild cards will still allow that to be unlocked, somehow

[runic pecan]

"Have all cards in your full deck be able to be considered one single suit." is a candidate.

[manic rune]

Have all cards in full deck count as only one suit.?

[runic pecan]

"Have all cards in your full deck be with one same suit." is shorter, but doesn't feel enough.

[runic pecan]

The "all hearts except one wild club" example would still count as all (four for most of the time) suits.

[manic rune]

Have all cards in full deck able to be counted as only one suit.??

oh actually i realized that does sound similar to the one you sent above

[runic pecan]

"Have at least one suit being with all cards in your full deck"
Except we usually say "card with suit" and almost never "suit with card".

[red flower]

that phrase doesn't make sense to me

"Have all cards in your full deck count as the same suit" is good enough I think

[pure salmon]

"Have only one suit of cards in your full deck" is good enough and easily understandable imo, even if it's ambiguous about wild

[rugged pier]

local base_calculate_enhancement = Card.calculate_enhancement
function Card.calculate_enhancement(self, context)
    local ret = base_calculate_enhancement(self, context)
    if not ret then return end
    print(ret)

why doesnt this print anything when i play a Bonus card?

[runic pecan]

By the way, the reason I give Bouquet X1.1 is because 1.1^5 (5 from the size of a Flush hand) is already bigger than Observatory's X1.5.

[manic rune]

wha

what did i do?? 😭

[rugged pier]

or any enhancement for that matter

[manic rune]

what are you trying to do

[rugged pier]

im trying to multiply the effect of enhancements

but i need to see what the return object is of "calculate_enhancement"

but when i do print(ret) in that code, i get nothing in the console

[manic rune]

have you tried

local base_calculate_enhancement = Card.calculate_enhancement
function Card.calculate_enhancement(self, context)
    local ret = base_calculate_enhancement(self, context)
    print(ret)
    return ret

? i dont really think the nil check there is necessary

and thats assuming the enhancements do use that function for their calculate

:p

[rugged pier]

i found it in lovely dump folder

and its used in eval card

function

[runic pecan]

So this is what I end up decided with.

[rugged pier]

Honestly just saying "Have all cards belong to one suit in your full deck"

should do it

[manic rune]

mmm try my approach then, see if anything prints

[rugged pier]

a whole bunch of nils

[manic rune]

oh wait

[rugged pier]

literally my entire screen filled with "nil"

[manic rune]

i think i might see why

[rugged pier]

yeah?

[manic rune]

remove self

keep self in ret though

[rugged pier]

ah

okay let me try

crashed upon loading the blind

[manic rune]

i mean, the og function doesnt use self

[rugged pier]

yeah but im using "." not ":"

[manic rune]

🤔

[rugged pier]

so i need to use self right?

[manic rune]

not sure if thats the issue, try replacing . with :

[rugged pier]

okay

[native zinc]

i didn't ev

what

[runic pecan]

Do they also have these?

[placid star]

what would be the most efficient context for checking how many of X cards are in the deck?

[manic rune]

what are you trying to do x2

[placid star]

lmao

scale Xmult with number of spade face cards in deck

[manic rune]

mm i see

use context.before, then

wait

[runic pecan]

I usually just count them on the spot.
So whenever you wanna scale the Xmult, then.
A risky option is to do it in update=function(self,card,dt).

[manic rune]

🤔 is it like

"Increase XMult by (x) for each spade face cards in deck (Currently X(y) Mult)"?

[placid star]

yeah excactly that

[unborn bay]

never put anything in update unless you're doing like an effect joker

[placid star]

thought abt that but thats just so ineffecient and my game would lag sm

[manic rune]

well, performance-wise speaking, use context.playing_card_added and context.remove_playing_card, as well as setting the XMult to a number when its first added

that should make it so XMult is only recalculated when a playing card is added/removed, but if you want it to be more precise, add the count in calculate without any context wraps

[placid star]

my issue with that is what if someone uses a tarot to change suit mid blind?

[manic rune]

this shouldnt lag as much as update, as it will only run when a context happens

and it will be pretty accurate too

[runic pecan]

Maybe just... not using context?
store the number of spades in your card.ability.extra and compare it whenever calculate is called?

[red flower]

the update logic here doesn't make sense
just calculate it in joker_main and loc_vars

[manic rune]

but also, i think another approach is:
in loc_vars, run the count in there

and have a count function in context.joker_main

[red flower]

same braincell

[manic rune]

oh hey i guessed it right

:3

[placid star]

yeah that does make more sense lmao tysm guys!!

[runic pecan]

No, I have experience that this will have bugs.
(The loc_vars part)

[manic rune]

🤔 how so

[unborn bay]

huh?

[red flower]

the only "bug" is that the tooltip won't update in real time but it's a non-issue

[manic rune]

if you mean that the loc_vars can crash if theres no G.playing_cards to check, just add a nil check there, or G.playing_cards or {} in the ipairs

[native zinc]

is there a function that plays after cards are scored in boss blinds

[runic pecan]

Wait a sec, I'll post the chat history.

[native zinc]

i guess i coul d. make an event

[unborn bay]

use a boss blind calculate function lmao

[runic pecan]

Here. A joker of mine was unable to scale before you look at it.

[native zinc]

. those exist

well that's significantly easier

[red flower]

yeah you don't do side effects in loc_vars

if you need to pick a rank you do it in calculate

[runic pecan]

Yeah, I fixed it after that.

[native zinc]

what do you mean

[manic rune]

boss blinds have calculate now

what they mean is that you should use it

[native zinc]

wh ...

[manic rune]

undocumented, i think :3

[runic pecan]

Or you can also use context.after and G.GAME.facing_blind and G.GAME.blind:get_type()=='Boss Blind'

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.boss is shorter

[bold sleet]

bump please I really need help with this

[unborn bay]

get_type also doesn't account for modded non boss blinds btw

[manic rune]

oh, that might be what i just encountered earlier

[unborn bay]

so the alternate small and big blinds from ortalab for example would return true to that

[native zinc]

oh my god

[bold sleet]

how fix?

[native zinc]

grrr no doc updates

it works

[manic rune]

here

this is how i fixed it

[unborn bay]

to quote a world famous video game designer

it just works

[bold sleet]

can send code so I can steal copy it?

[manic rune]

:3 sure, one sec

[bold sleet]

-# (...don't cheat with it... or use it only for shits and giggles...)

[manic rune]

use the new text_input function instead of create_text_input, btw

[bold sleet]

yummers

exactly, what function should I call to make the thing happen?

And more importantly, how does sh*t work?

[manic rune]

basically, the text input only loads properly after :recalculate, so all i did was adding func = ... to ensure that it loads the moment the ui is created

[bold sleet]

a

[manic rune]

so instead of using create_text_input, use the new function

it functions exactly the same as how you would use create_text_input, with the only difference being it loads :p

[bold sleet]

The difference: It doesn't fuck itself up

[manic rune]

so true

[bold sleet]

It actually works lmao

That's the difference

Me when the text input actually works:

[manic rune]

its a coincidence that i worked on text input today too lol

[daring fern]

Is this effect possible?: ```
All poker hands can be made with 2 cards

[bold sleet]

thanks a lot, my guy

[manic rune]

wuh

that sounds complicated to implement

[runic pecan]

Certainly not unless you elaborate how you planned it, right here right now.

[red flower]

coding wise i dont think it would be hard at least for vanilla hands, but i dont know what two cards can count for each hand

[manic rune]

should i suggest create_text_input to be patched with that for smods, actually

[runic pecan]

Are you telling me that a hand of 7 and 8 will be a Straight, and two heart cards is enough for a Flush?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[runic pecan]

But what about the oaks, Two Pair, and Full House?
If you can't answer that, maybe just word it like Four Fingers, "Flush and Straight can be made with 2 cards", because that's certainly not all poker hands.

[rugged pier]

-- Modifies Enhancement Values
local base_calculate_enhancement = Card.calculate_enhancement
function Card:calculate_enhancement(context)
    local ret = base_calculate_enhancement(context)
    print(ret)
    return ret
end

like this?

[daring fern]

4oak, 3oak, Two Pair and Pair wouldn't be playable and Full House would just be 2 cards that aren't a straight or a flush I think, also the whole thing is Four Fingers but extemely overpowered.

[runic pecan]

4oak, 3oak, Two Pair and Pair wouldn't be playable

As I've said, that's certainly not all poker hands.
Workable, but you'll need to rephrase your effect.

[manic rune]

ret should still have self

[bold sleet]

Now, is there a way to prevent it from imploding if I add more than one of them?

[rugged pier]

that crashes though

[manic rune]

🤔 how though, thats how i usually hook

[manic rune]

wha

that happens?

[bold sleet]

Ye

[rugged pier]

nvm doesnt crash, but prints all nil

[bold sleet]

I suspect it is because the function is like, only ran in one node and thus the other one makes everything go haywire.

[bold sleet]

Just need a way to detect it being unclicked or something.

[manic rune]

oh wait i think i see why

probably shouldnt use G.GAME

since thats used by all the text_input

[bold sleet]

how fix

[manic rune]

try saving to somewhere that only the ui can check

[bold sleet]

i stoopid

[daring fern]

Also, that is already taken.

[manic rune]

🤔 an idea is to check from e instead

[cyan urchin]

yo im just looking to change the sound effects of balatro how would i do that?

sorry to but in lol

[manic rune]

does G.GAME[{}] work, actually

probably not though, i assume

[bold sleet]

Put the function inside G.GAME?

[runic pecan]

You can't put a table as a key.

[manic rune]

oof

hm

[bold sleet]

It is hardcoded to be inside G.FUNCS

Haven't checked the code, but I am almost certain it will look something like G.FUNCS[func]

this it is indeed, hardcoded

I am going to have lunch.

Try to figure it out, will ya'?

        end
    end
``` is this actually being used in enhancement calculation because its literally just printing nils

[daring fern]

What else would extremely overpowered four fingers be then if not this?

[runic pecan]

What object is running this code?

[rugged pier]

all flushes and straights can be made with 3 cards /j

[rugged pier]

eval_card

[manic rune]

question, is this somehow related to yggdrasil

[daring fern]

No.

[manic rune]

a

i was curious if you were still working on the "buff all jokers" section lol

[daring fern]

I was working on a mod that added jokers, then I stopped developing it, because I made seals on everything, now I'm working on developing it again.

[runic pecan]

What effect are you trying to achieve?

[rugged pier]

i want to see what the return table contains so i can multiply the values

end goal is to buff enhancements by 50%

[daring fern]

What about this?: ```
All joker slots count as empty

[manic rune]

i dont think thats possible

[rugged pier]

does this allow you to pick up unlimited jokers

[manic rune]

since most stuff check #G.jokers.cards

[daring fern]

I never thought about it that way but probably yes.

[manic rune]

so unless you plan on patching every line that uses #G.jokers.cards, its impossible

[rugged pier]

interesting lol you could probably get away with just making all jokers you have negative then

[manic rune]

negative would become the worst edition you can get in that case, actually

[rugged pier]

why

[manic rune]

since theres no need for +joker slots anymore

[rugged pier]

the only reason you get + joker slots is to collect non negative jokers

negative jokers still have their own use case

[manic rune]

yeah but if all joker slots count as empty, then you technically have inf joker slots, no?

[rugged pier]

yeah thats the point i suppose?

[manic rune]

thats my point, it kind of defeats the whole point of negative

[daring fern]

What if I made the amount of joker slots always the same as double the current jokers but told it to display elsewise?

[rugged pier]

wouldnt make sense, if you have 1 joker then you only have 2 slots?

[manic rune]

what they meant is that the text would still show the correct joker slot amount

[rugged pier]

but functionally you wouldnt, that would mess up how the logic works

its a more convulated, if not worse, negative

[turbid maple]

pretty sure lua is cursed enough and lets you overide the length operator

[manic rune]

wuh

thats possible????

[sturdy compass]

Yeah I have the first one

[daring fern]

I mean math.max(#G.jokers.cards, numberofjokerslotspreviously) maybe?

[manic rune]

oh

[turbid maple]

i think so?

[daring fern]

This is for overpowered joker stencil by the way.

[rugged pier]

anyway bump

where are enhancements calculated

[vast fractal]

what is the function to set the hands and discards amount?

[hushed estuary]

Is there any way to get a rank by id? Like, for example, jacks have an id of 11

[manic rune]

:get_id()

[manic rune]

try checking the code of jokers that change hands/discards

[hushed estuary]

No I need the SMODS.Rank

And I have the id

[manic rune]

a

i havent tinkered with smods.rank yet, sorry

[manic rune]

🤔 have you tried with modded enhancements

im currently not at my pc, but my theory is that vanilla enhancements probably dont use calculate, idk

[rugged pier]

interesting

okay let me try modded stuff

yeah didnt work

still a bunch of nils

[manic rune]

hmmmmm

[daring fern]

This is false, and yes, this is actually false.

[manic rune]

-# actually?

[rugged pier]

do they just use this then

i got this to work

^like modifying editions

i just didnt get enhancements to work

which looks like the same function but apparently doesnt work

[midnight coyote]

how do i choose the set from which a booster pack selects from?

is that what pools is for?

[red flower]

if you're making a booster pack you do it in create_card

[midnight coyote]

oh i just saw that

[hushed estuary]

Whatever I’ll just loop over SMODS.Ranks manually

[midnight coyote]

create_card = function(self,card,i)?

and then make sure said function returns a card?

[bold sleet]

I have returned.

@manic rune got anything?

[manic rune]

im still away from my pc rn, i will be back in a few minutes

[bold sleet]

ok

[midnight coyote]

yeah

[rugged pier]

if context.destroy_card and card.ability.extra.uses_left == 0  and context.cardarea ~= G.hand then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card:start_dissolve({G.C.BLACK, G.C.RED, G.C.RED}, true, 5)
                    return true
                end,
                blocking = true
            }))
            return {
                message = 'Dragged!',
                remove = true
            }
        end

when i do this to destroy a card thats enhanced, it removes every card in deck as well

[manic rune]

context.destroy_card runs through every card

since you only excluded it from checking G.hand, it will go through G.play, G.deck

[rugged pier]

so i should prevent those areas as well right, how do i destroy that particular card though? (the one that is enhanced) which is played

[manic rune]

and context.cardarea == G.play

then check if context.destroy_card has any enhancement

[rugged pier]

gotcha ty

[manic rune]

it doesnt crash for me

[bold sleet]

watefuk

[manic rune]

you prob did something wrong on your end

[bold sleet]

can help me fix?

[manic rune]

sure, take a ss of the code rn

[bold sleet]

mayhaps in a VC, screenshare at least?

[manic rune]

a

[bold sleet]

I can send over stuff anyways

[manic rune]

my pc is ass, i dont think i can handle VC with vsc on rn

sorry

[bold sleet]

ok

[manic rune]

yeah thatd be nice

[bold sleet]

discord is stoopid

DPP stands for my mod stuff

 DPP_create_text_input{
    ref_table = DPP.test_b,
    ref_value = "test",
    max_length = 8,
    w = 1.8,
    h = 0.2
 }

calling the function like that

[tired kestrel]

Right now I made this jpeg shader for balatro I have no idea if I translated it correctly.

something new

[rugged pier]

if context.destroy_card and card.ability.extra.uses_left == 0 and context.destroy_card == card and context.cardarea ~= G.hand then
            return {
                message = 'Dragged!',
                remove = true
            }
        end

this was a much easier fix actually

dont know if this helps you in the future

thought id share

[tired kestrel]

What do you guys think?

[manic rune]

is this an enhancement's code?

[rugged pier]

yeah

[manic rune]

oh

:3

i thought its a joker's effect lol

[rugged pier]

ah lol

something similar works in a joker too btw

[bold sleet]

-# got anything?

[manic rune]

nope

[bold sleet]

-# i am so stoopid

[manic rune]

card refers to the joker, so it shouldnt work

[rugged pier]

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1] and card.ability.extra.destroy and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.destroy = false
            return {
                message = 'Destroyed!',
                remove = true
            }
        end

not card

but you can specify which card by indexing the scoring hand

[manic rune]

or that, yeah

but i assumed you wanted to destroy all scored enhanced cards

[rugged pier]

fair enough

[manic rune]

mmm

whats the crash log?

[soft echo]

i'm trying to check to see if the player has a specific joker with another joker. how exactly would i go about doing that?

[manic rune]

i dont see anything wrong here

[tired kestrel]

now how do I add an edition?

[manic rune]

and honestly, the code shouldnt cause any crash now that i read it again

[bold sleet]

It doesn't crash. It just... fucks the UI

[tired kestrel]

hm?

[manic rune]

my old implementation was that it uses G.GAME to check for something, but i forgot i already replaced that

[bold sleet]

???

Acts the same as when I was clicking it, but now it fucks itself up when releasing.

[manic rune]

nothing breaks for me

idk

[manic rune]

ok idk, try adding a delay into the event in DPP_load_text_input probably?

[soft echo]

currently using this and nothing seems to be happening

[bold sleet]

ok

[manic rune]

it should be G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key == "j_(mod prefix)_rufus"

[soft echo]

ooohhh thank you

[bold sleet]

no worky

I'll take your code snippet and add it withot modifications

to see if i fucked up anything by accident

no worky wtf

[manic rune]

weird

[tired kestrel]

darn it.

[manic rune]

maybe try removing blockable?

[tired kestrel]

I tried to run the game with the shader added but it gave me this rror

[bold sleet]

trying...

[tired kestrel]

this is the shader code I currently have I don't know why the % symbol is the issue.

[bold sleet]

nopeb

[manic rune]

ok idk, i guess its how your ui is constructed at this point

still weird that it breaks when there r more than 2 text input boxes though

it shouldnt do that

[shell timber]

oops

[bold sleet]

here, take a look if you will

I don't force you, but idk

[manic rune]

whats DPP.reload_lists() btw

[bold sleet]

It reloads some list I have for seals, enhancements, etc

a sec

lemme give you a bit more context

[manic rune]

🤔 what runs DPP.main_menu()?

[tired kestrel]

So uhh... anyone can help me on this shader?

[bold sleet]

All these cycles things are controlled by lists, that contain well, ranks, suits, etc

[manic rune]

sadly very few people here know about shaders

[bold sleet]

reload_lists just empties and fills them again

[manic rune]

ohh, i see

[bold sleet]

It shouldn't cause any problems, tho

[tired kestrel]

Yeah, I mean honestly I want to also learn shaders but somehow it feels complex to me.

[manic rune]

what about this

[tired kestrel]

I tried to port the shader into game maker once but it did barely work.

so yeah.

[bold sleet]

SMODS.Keybind({
    key_pressed = "tab",
    event = "pressed",
    action = function()
            G.FUNCS.DPP_main_menu()
    end
})

[manic rune]

it is complex

[tired kestrel]

now balatro's shader code is the next level now.

[manic rune]

the main problem is that you dont have a G.C.ROOT, i think

[bold sleet]

function G.FUNCS.DPP_reload_lists()
    DPP.reload_lists()
    G.FUNCS.DPP_main_menu()
end

[faint yacht]

wild.

[bold sleet]

possibly, but uh... now how tf do I implement that

[bold sleet]

Do I just create a wrapper root node?

[manic rune]

mm probably, yeah

every ui should have a G.UIT.ROOT

[tired kestrel]

can you tell me who were the people that knows shaders?

[manic rune]

thats probably why the alignment all fucked up

[tired kestrel]

aside from Bear

[manic rune]

id say eremel is your best bet

[bold sleet]

hmmmmmm

[manic rune]

though, please dont annoy them by dming them too much when they dont respond :p

[tired kestrel]

I didn't mean to anoy them though I might have said too much

I don't know if he would take a look but my impatence was just well...

I try to control myself from being impatient

but yeah.

I don't know cause he haven't responded to me

even though I was new at the time.

I didn'T dm them a lot

just once

[runic pecan]

Am I able to put Eternal sticker on playing cards?

[tired kestrel]

except

[manic rune]

i understand, not having your code (or just basically anything) working can be quite annoying, but its not a good habit to put that impatience on others :p

[tired kestrel]

I only sent him a waving as a dm but yeah.

[tired kestrel]

I understand.

and also the point

[manic rune]

yes, but they wont work i think

you will still have to code the functionalities yourself, i think #1355819401198178455 did that

[tired kestrel]

cause honestly I've been asking help a lot when I had an issue about trying to get the joker to like copy the played card.

So yeah.

honestly the fuiquent amount of users here haven't taken noticed on other helps or issues

or maybe guidence to new members

I mean a tutorial would help

but yeah.

[red flower]

the problem is also just people not knowing about your issue, I've noticed it but idk what the problem is

[manic rune]

shaders are like, some of the most complicated stuff you can work on for a balatro mod

so there arent many people that can read shader's code, let alone troubleshoot lol

[red flower]

yeah i hate shaders

[manic rune]

same

also N'

[tired kestrel]

Yeah, I mean I wish I could've rephrased it better mostly

but yeah.

mostly that.

[manic rune]

i figured out the fix to the text_input thing, in case u havent noticed it yet
-# and when im typing this, i realized you probably already read that, but leaving the conversation with "also N'" is weird, so

[tired kestrel]

But I'm thankful for a few people to notice mostly but yeah. I don't understand mostly why it's easily ignored.

I mean would've used pings

but that might not work

I don't think

[red flower]

i forwarded your code to myself for later :3

[manic rune]

:3 damn

[bold sleet]

dismantling the whole UI to get it working again, help

[manic rune]

😭

i mean, your fault for not having G.UIT.ROOT before coding in everything

:3

[bold sleet]

why tf is the root node green ish?

Can I make it not visible?

The green aaa square

[manic rune]

G.C.CLEAR

[bold sleet]

inside my root node or huh?

[red flower]

color = G.C.CLEAR in the roots config

[manic rune]

^

[bold sleet]

oko

[manic rune]

i need to come up with more material/crafting recipes/relics ideas later

[bold sleet]

updated, i think?

[manic rune]

idk try

i do not take responsibility for when your pc suddenly explodes

[bold sleet]

It still fucks itself 😭
