gonna run some test first, hold on

hey, @manic rune. Does your cursor... fuck itself like that?

[runic pecan]

What is the default shop_rate of Tarots and Planets?

[crisp coral]

vanilla quirk

[manic rune]

^

[bold sleet]

So your cursor does that

I am guessing

[manic rune]

yeah

[bold sleet]

ok

[runic pecan]

Did SMODS overwrite Card:open?
Edit: a quick check reveals they did not.

[soft echo]

how does one turn a joker into an eternal joker

[primal robin]

Set id for input and all be fine

[pale venture]

card:add_sticker("eternal", true)

[soft echo]

than you

[bold sleet]

huh?

[wintry solar]

why would I respond to a random waving dm, if you have a problem and want my help just message me the full details and if I have time I'll have a look but if not don't go bitching about it to everyone else

[bold sleet]

for fuck sake it was the id all along

[manic rune]

well im glad my fix wasnt the reason your ui broke 😭

also, that reminds me of the cheat uis ngl

idk if thats intentional, but thats neat

[bold sleet]

No and yes.

The original UI was more minimalistic

But I decided to leave this one because it looked neater.

You can make the background invisible.

[manic rune]

this is what i meant btw :p

[unborn bay]

OH GOD

GD JUMPSCARE

[bold sleet]

ik

I mean, it works and looks neat

[manic rune]

thats true

[pure salmon]

how do i hook to draw_card again

[manic rune]

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/ i suggest reading this so you know how to hook to pretty much everything :p

[maiden phoenix]

Use SMODS.Drawstep instead

[manic rune]

but also, ^ what sdm said if you are doing what i think you are

[pure salmon]

trying to get this joker working

i need the tally to increment every time a card is drawn from the deck, someone gave a solution with hooking draw_card up but i don't know what parameters to pass to draw_card

[runic pecan]

Can someone remind me again what is the target value for patching smods files?

[wintry solar]

Use context.hand_drawn

[runic pecan]

I had a different approach, this is for each drawn card.

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[pure salmon]

what variable do i use to get the table of drawn cards

[red flower]

they also wrote the hook, you can look at that

but like I said, use hand_drawn

[red flower]

i also told u this : (

[tired kestrel]

Sorry, I mean I was avtually new here but then again.

I don't know how you work in general

can I just tell you in DMs?

or here?

also I didn't mean to be "b***hing" about.

I am new alright?

but now I need to take this into note.

[bold sleet]

hey, is there a way to update this litol numba'?

[pure salmon]

oh yeah you did, my bad

[pure salmon]

G.GAME.blind.chips

[bold sleet]

That doesn't update the text.

Just the internal value

[pure salmon]

unsure then

[languid mirage]

multiplayer mod updates that number

[tired kestrel]

Alright eremel I sent you the DM in FULL detail.

[runic pecan]

bump

[tired kestrel]

just like what you wanted me to do.

[manic rune]

'=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'

[pure salmon]

would i have to process context.hand_drawn and context.other_drawn seperately?

[red flower]

yes

[runic pecan]

lovely-injector has crashed:
panicked at crates\lovely-core\src\lib.rs:204:45:

[manic rune]

🤔 are you sure you have the correct target

[red flower]

is your lovely updated

[runic pecan]

Ah crap, I haven't.

[faint yacht]

My DriveSpace Joker does mess with the value.

[haughty cargo]

I am struggling to work out where the data about the cards in the main section of the shop are, can someone help me please

[manic rune]

how do i:

• check the current stake
• check what deck the player is currently using?

[wintry solar]

Other drawn is during packs fyi

[cobalt iron]

Is there a way to increase the amount of shop slots?

[hushed estuary]

Overstock voucher does it

I’d look in card:apply_to_run() for that

[wintry solar]

change_shop_size(number)

[haughty cargo]

it adds the num to shop size btw

[pure salmon]

yeah that's the intended behaviour

[zealous mauve]

yo can someone link me to the post in #1209506514763522108 for making your first mod? thanks :D

[cobalt iron]

thank you

[manic rune]

#1349064230825103441?

[zealous mauve]

yes

thank you!

[sturdy monolith]

trying to set my mods icon but I'm getting this error?

[modern kindle]

Good schmorning chat

[haughty cargo]

i would assume the icon path should be from the mod root, so is the icon in the main folder for the mod?
e.g: Balatro/Mods/<yourmod>/bearo_icon.png

[sturdy monolith]

no but most mods that I've seen that have custom icons have them in their assets and not in the mod root?

[wintry solar]

Remove the = on the top line

You’re redefining the atlas function here

[sturdy monolith]

OH
ALL NIGHTER BRAIN

THANKS

that works
awesome

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

My goat bepis

[manic rune]

i managed to add sorting, and name searching to the inventory

[modern kindle]

Oh hell yea

Can you make higher tier fragments with lower tier ones

[manic rune]

searching soulfragment, SoulFragment, SOULfragment should all work

[modern kindle]

Ie 9 rare make 1 legendary

[manic rune]

that is if i can think of other fragment ideas lol

i want them to still reference balatro in some ways

[modern kindle]

They reference balatro in rarity :)

[zealous glen]

Is there a command to dislay the bounding boxes?

[cobalt iron]

why do my jokers have a sell value of 0, I did add the price value

[zealous glen]

or keybind

[shell timber]

that's part of debug mode right(?)

[zealous glen]

I thought so but I can't find it

[primal robin]

It exist but I don't remember keybind

[modern kindle]

Hi vic

[zealous glen]

Hello dilly how are you

[primal robin]

[haughty cargo]

I am trying to access the items in the shop, and I am struggling to find where the actual data of what is there, such as the joker/consumable IDs (j_joker, c_mercury etc.), can someone help me please?

[primal robin]

card.config.center.key

[modern kindle]

I am so very tired
But my class was canceled today so I can rest and lounge a little more today

How are you?

[zealous glen]

I'm doing ok

[zealous glen]

@shell timber https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/keys.txt it's not here unless I'm unable to perceive it

[shell timber]

h?

[zealous glen]

no it hides everything on top of the background

[frosty rampart]

press a and g

[zealous glen]

thanks

Some of my Jokers have weirdly-sized boxes

[lucid owl]

anyone know why global variables (set in G.GAME) could evaluate as nil instead of an integer? i haven't been able to replicate the issue, but crashes are happening to other people when the game uses that variable in a card description. the only mods that both people have installed are talisman and cardsleeves

after checking the lovely dump, said variable is declared normally too which is confusing

[marble flint]

which variable in particular?

one thing that could be happening is the serialization/deserialization of G.GAME during a save/load cycle, but that's supposed to just automatically work

[lucid owl]

one declared by my mod, juggler_count = 0 is all

but when referenced in a card description, it's seen as nil (only in two cases though, and i haven't been able to replicate it)

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[lucid owl]

the only mods shared across both reports of the bug are talisman and cardsleeves which is even stranger

the lovely dump for one of the reports shows that the variable is declared perfectly normally

[sullen fern]

i know this is looking too far into the future but how would i add modded jokers to am object type

wouldn’t the game crash because it’s looking for an object that isn’t loaded

(referring to jokers from mods that aren’t active)

i know people add cases for stuff like this

[sullen fern]

i mean like, add jokers into an object type AFTER an object type has been stated

i would have to add the balatro-kai jokers to their respective tribes afterwards but

there’s no easy way to do that

because my load order goes tribe, other, consumable, joker, mod-compat

[cobalt iron]

can calc_dollar_bonus use negative numbers?

[wintry solar]

Your load order is whatever order smods loads stuff in, without looking I would assume object types are loaded first

[sullen fern]

yeah that’s what i want

the tribes (seperate object types) are loaded first

then i make the ui display a badge that shows which tribe a joker is in

then i load stuff like editions

then consumables

then the mod’s jokers

then mod compatabilty related stuff

i don’t know if i can just, tell smods to load whatever in whatever order i want

[wintry solar]

No what I’m saying is it doesn’t matter what “order” you try to load stuff, smods has an order that it runs through in terms of all the different objects that you cannot alter

[sullen fern]

ah.

[wintry solar]

You just tell smods “I would like to create these objects please” and it handles all the rest

[sullen fern]

so i just cram all my stuff into a single lua

the main lua that is, with all the “assert”s

[wintry solar]

If you want to handle navigating a giant file sure

[rapid stag]

help. working on return to hand functionality and for some reason the returned card is flipped down and non-functional

all i can figure out is that 'down' doesn't matter. i tried 'up' and it's the same

[sullen fern]

no i mean, assert all my seperate luas into the main one

[wintry solar]

Oh yeah

[sullen fern]

that’s what i usually do

[somber kiln]

can someone help me i want to create some jokers mod idk where to start

[sullen fern]

so i want there to be a badge right above the rarity that shows which tribe a joker will be in

[pure salmon]

am i using context.destroy_card wrong? this code is supposed to delete the leftmost king if there's two in the scoring hand. the xmult triggers properly so i know it's not the tally code

[sullen fern]

i'm putting it in the main lua because

uh

idk actually

[lucid owl]

anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?

[sullen fern]

so, what do i need to know before i start making an entriely new ui thing

[wintry solar]

Remove king will always be false when this function is called with the destroying context

[sullen fern]

it's nothing too big, just a small badge

but it's still something ui related

and i'm scared

[rapid stag]

bump

[primal robin]

Be ready to suffer

That's it

[stiff locust]

how do I check stake stickers for decks

[pure salmon]

yeah i just figured that out with some testing, any way to stop that or do i have to tally up the kings twice?

[sullen fern]

even IF all i'm trying to do is add a new badge???

well that doesn't sound reassuring

[primal robin]

It's even worse

[stiff locust]

a new badge is really easy actually if you mean like the rarity badges n stuff

[sullen fern]

yeah that

[stiff locust]

yeah hold on a sec

[sullen fern]

but for the yo-kai tribes

each tribe is a seperate object type and i want them to appear for each joker in said object type

[primal robin]

Easiest thing in UI is G.OVERLAY_MENU imo

[stiff locust]

set_card_type_badge = function(self, card, badges)
        badges[#badges + 1] = create_badge(localize('k_localize'), G.C.EDITION, G.C.WHITE, 1.2)
    end,

put this in the object like the calculate function
badges[1] replaces the first badge, badges[#badges + 1] adds a new badge (probably)

replace k_localize with whatever you want it to be

[sullen fern]

how do i do that for existing jokers.

[stiff locust]

one color is for text, one color is for background

[stiff locust]

smods.take_ownership()

that one should be on the wiki

[sullen fern]

that would take so long though

[stiff locust]

not rly

[sullen fern]

having to take ownership of all 150 basegame jokers

[stiff locust]

.

[sullen fern]

just for a little badge

[wintry solar]

Store it in the card object instead of a local

[stiff locust]

why do you need to add a badge to all the vanilla jokers

[sullen fern]

because

[stiff locust]

run take_ownership inside a function and get it to iterate through the list and do it to all of them for you

[wintry solar]

You don’t need to do that

Just patch where badges are created

[red flower]

if you plan to do that with other mods as well I would do that

[rapid stag]

i was about to suggest iteratting through that list and taking_ownership that way, similar to what i do for planets

[sullen fern]

how would i do that

[wintry solar]

Find the badge bit in generate ui and add your badges to that table

[sullen fern]

okay okay i think i might need to clarify on what i want to do more, both for myself and everyone else
so, each joker that's a part of a tribe gets a rarity-type badge denoting which tribe it's a part of.

so what i need to do is patch the badge creation code to allow for that to happen

just have it generate the badge for each joker in the tribe object type

[wintry solar]

Yeah that’s what I told you how to do

[sullen fern]

i don't know how to patch things.

haven't had to do that before

[wintry solar]

Then go and learn 😂

It’s possible with a hook but you’ll have to rummage through ui tables to do that

[stiff locust]

the function iterate option is an option if you want to avoid learning

[rapid stag]

bump.

[sullen fern]

i guess that’s what i’m gonna have to do then

oh boy, time to iterate through every basegame joker

[stiff locust]

that's because the card is getting sent to the deck first

it is being treated as a card on the deck that you drag around

[sullen fern]

bit of a hacky solution but what can you do

[stiff locust]

you need to do your hand stuff before the card is "sent to the deck"

and stop the card from being sent

[stiff locust]

no no no

[sullen fern]

besides patching but i’m not learning how to do that

[stiff locust]

you have lists

[sullen fern]

iterate through the LISTS. i see

[stiff locust]

yeah

[sullen fern]

iterate through each object type

[stiff locust]

the only code that needs to change is the joker you're adding to and the badge you're adding

[sullen fern]

unless someone is crazy enough to sit my ass down and teach me

[wintry solar]

Patching is not hard

Take the five minutes to learn it

And save yourself hours of future time

[sullen fern]

look, i’m sorry, but if i’m seeing an easier way out then i’m taking it

don’t blame me for not wanting to jump through AS many hoops

[stiff locust]

i agree with eremel here

but people are lazy

[sullen fern]

okay, fine, i’ll bite. where do i learn patching

tell me a good resource.

[stiff locust]

i have no idea

i stole my first patch from another mod and then figured it out from there

[red flower]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[wintry solar]

And just look at any toml file in smods

[rapid stag]

wdym stop the card from being sent? the function i showed leeches off this draw_from_play_to_discard hook

[sullen fern]

okay so i’m weighing the options. it’s either i sit my ass down and learn something for once, or i take the lazy way out

[stiff locust]

you're hooking the function, the original function still happens so the card is still "sent to the deck"

[sullen fern]

and this is all on me

[stiff locust]

i think you should patch the original function

[rapid stag]

...no? it returns out before the old function call

[pure salmon]

this should only destroy the leftmost king but it destroys all of them

[lucid owl]

anyone know why global variables (set in G.GAME) could evaluate as nil instead of an integer? i haven't been able to replicate the issue, but crashes are happening to other people when the game uses that variable in a card description. the only mods that both people have installed are talisman and cardsleeves
said var is just juggler_count = 0

[stiff locust]

well clearly the card is still being sent to the deck so something is certainly up with it

[stiff locust]

G.GAME is reset at the start of each run

[wintry solar]

fwiw, the “lazy” way out is a jank solution that might not play as intended with other mods

[lucid owl]

yeah, that's intended

[wintry solar]

Where as the patching way shouldn’t cause any issues

[lucid owl]

but it's being evaluated as nil despite being declared in G.GAME

[sullen fern]

well, i am concerned about mod compat...

[lucid owl]

i haven't been able to replicate the issue at all

[stiff locust]

and when are you evaluating it

[lucid owl]

for both crashes they're during a run, when a card is hovered over

[stiff locust]

when does the value get created

[lucid owl]

when a run is started

it's lovely patched into G.GAME

[wintry solar]

Do you have the crash screen?

[stiff locust]

???

[lucid owl]

as in, set as a global var

[stiff locust]

just put a set_ability in the joker and check if G.GAME.juggler_count exists there, if it doesn't, set it to 0

the lovely patch isn't necessary

set_ability runs when the joker is spawned in any capacity so that guarantees the value exists before you hover over it

[lucid owl]

yeah, neither of them are my screenshots. haven't been able to replicate the issue myself

[lucid owl]

hmm alright, it's set as a thing for a consumable and i had seen other mods patch so i just went with that

[sullen fern]

so, where the hell am i going to be patching in new badge

[wintry solar]

And can you show the juggler code and the patch?

[lucid owl]

when the juggler consumable is used it increments by 1 and that's it

[lucid owl]

yeah, one sec

[sullen fern]

and how do i make sure that the correct badge is set for the correct object type

[stiff locust]

the guy in rift raft had this issue too and idk how they fixed it

missing's rift card copying only worked for them and nobody else

cause it was a G.something

[sullen fern]

like, where am i gonna have to patch this into

[stiff locust]

uhhh find it

generate_ui

[wintry solar]

Card:generate_ui iirc

[stiff locust]

if you have visual studio, open a workspace with the source code and ctrl + shift + F

lets you search in all files in workspace

[sullen fern]

should i use the lovely dump of it?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[stiff locust]

yeah

while they're on that does anyone know how I can get stake completion for a deck

i need a joker to access that

[sullen fern]

okay so i found two instances of it

[lucid owl]

this is the entire patch, i'm on mobile so let me just send the card's file real quick

ik the patch syntax is a bit weird but eh

[sullen fern]

wait, is it not in card.lua

or am i on the right track here

[wintry solar]

Yeah that sounds right

It should have some stuff about AUT.stuff

[red flower]

badges are in G.UIDEF.card_h_popup

[lucid owl]

this is all

[red flower]

in UI_definitions

around here

[wintry solar]

Are they crashing in the collection?

[sullen fern]

i am in the wrooong place, holy shit

[wintry solar]

This will crash in the collection

[sullen fern]

i was in card.lua before

but now i should be checking here

[lucid owl]

both are crashing upon being hovered on, i haven't ever had this issue before so it's strange

[pure salmon]

bump, i have no idea why this is wrong

[lucid owl]

why will this crash in the collection? am i not covering for edge cases right?

[wintry solar]

You assume G.GAME exists

[sullen fern]

okay, i'm there

now what do i do

is this the part where we start kicking

and by kicking, i mean hijacking the code

[red flower]

you want to do soemthing like this

[lucid owl]

ohhh that'd make sense. i thought i covered for that, weird

[sullen fern]

i have a toml file at the ready

[red flower]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/UI_definitions.lua"
pattern = "AUT.main.background_colour = AUT.main.background_colour or AUT.box_colours and AUT.box_colours[1] or nil"
position = 'before'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
badges[#badges + 1] = ...
'''

[wintry solar]

You want a unique line a bit lower down than that screenshot

[red flower]

and replace ... for your logic to make the tribe specific badge

[lucid owl]

what would that be?

[sullen fern]

i see.

[wintry solar]

Sorry that was for violet

[sullen fern]

yeah i found that line

[lucid owl]

ohh, all good lol

it should be easy to make sure G.GAME exists

[sullen fern]

this is what my toml looks like right now

[red flower]

you need the header manifest as well

[wintry solar]

Then just make a function that takes the card object and returns the badge and call it there

[sullen fern]

wait i'm realizing something

something a bit odd

how is it supossed to know which tribe to assign which badge to

[zealous mauve]

queston: how much lua do i actually need to know to make balatro mods?

[sullen fern]

or do i supply it with that info myself

i see.

do i also supply it with color info too?

[wintry solar]

So your function should do the logic

And create the badge

[red flower]

you want a function that does something like this ^ but changes the localize string and color depending on the card

[sullen fern]

reiterating that each tribe is a seperate object type

so i need to add loc vars to my mod then

for each tribe

[red flower]

i mean you can hard code the string if you dont care about localization

[sullen fern]

ok yeah

that works

do i just replace the k_localize with my own string

[red flower]

i have something like this for my yugioh types

[sullen fern]

so how would i hardcode the string

is it as simple as just, "fuck your loc string, we're using my own"

[red flower]

just write "whatever" instead of localize('k_whatever')

[red flower]

no you don't want the function there

[hybrid galleon]

does the Creator God let you win the run immediately

[red flower]

there's no creator god, i just put it there for completion

it's only one card and im probably not gonna add it

[hybrid galleon]

lol that makes sense though

[hybrid galleon]

I'm not even sure if you can do a code to win a run immediately

[red flower]

yeah you can

oops

wrong ping

[red flower]

badges[#badges + 1] = create_tribe_badge(card)

and then in your mods file:

function create_tribe_badge(card)
  return create_badge("Brave", G.C.EDITION, G.C.WHITE, 1.2)
end

and you replace the logic in that function to do what you want

[grand sage]

excuse me can someone please tell me what im doing wrong

[sullen fern]

so after that, i would tell it to apply the tribe badge for each tribe

for each joker in each tribe object type

[red flower]

yeah

[sullen fern]

okay, double checking. is this all my toml should be

[red flower]

imo yes

[sullen fern]

so now i don't have to look at that ever again.

imo it wasn't THAT hard

idk what all the fuss was about

imo, it was probably a yo-kai.

now what? do i load the toml with an assert?

or does the toml load automatically

[red flower]

no it's loaded automatically as long as it's in the top folder and named lovely.toml OR it's in a lovely folder

[sullen fern]

okay so i have a lovely folder

code is still a bit barebones and it probably won't do anything important yet because i have yet to make the badge appear for every member of a tribe

[red flower]

does it work

all cards should have the brave thing

[sullen fern]

you're right, let's see if it actually runs.

even modded jokers

everything has a brave badge though...

[red flower]

yeah you need to check if card is a joker and stuff

[sullen fern]

might as well flout my own textrue pack for a bit

okay, flouting time is over.

time to actually fix this shit

[wintry solar]

Yeah nows the time for the logic check

[sullen fern]

okay. time to put you through the wringer. and probably give you the correct colors too

[sullen fern]

hex code maybe

[placid star]

is it possible to add the texture of spectral to jokers?

[chrome widget]

How do you determine whether you're in the shop after a small/big/boss blind? I believe the blind is temporarily unset inside the shop until you hit next round so I don't believe you can check the upcoming blind type when you're in the shop directly

[sullen fern]

i believe it's as simple as "if it's a joker, then display the badge"

[chrome widget]

You'd have to add a draw step for this! But yes, you can call to draw the spectral shader on them

[hybrid galleon]

Maybe I'm asking a stupid question, can I make variations of a hand type, playing this variation gives different base chips and mult compared to the base hand type, but the variation shares the same upgrade level and which planet to upgrade the hand, so the only difference is the base chip/mult
I know it's easier to just make a bunch of new poker hands for each of them, but if I do so then it should be very hard to build towards a specific poker hand, as all of them now have separate upgrade levels

[placid star]

what the fuck

[chrome widget]

Oh!! There's a global G.GAME.blind_on_deck

[sullen fern]

fuck, i kinda lost my groove here

[gusty iron]

how would i create a random tag?

[sullen fern]

i had a bit of a ball rolling here and i lost it out on the road

there is a caaaar...

[gusty iron]

and it is

going to hit me

ah

[sullen fern]

okay but seriously i need some help here
i forgot the function that makes it so something happens to only a specific object

[sullen fern]

i need it for this here

[pure salmon]

i'm going mad why does this delete every king and not just the first one

[sleek cliff]

I'm trying to make a new type of planet card, but when I try to discover it, it crashes my game

[hybrid shadow]

have you started a new run

[wintry solar]

Same problem as before, local variables are reset every call

[sleek cliff]

no, I use the debug mod and when I use it to discover the card it crashes

[hybrid shadow]

head to the line the error code is pointing to

[sullen fern]

does this work with object types

[sleek cliff]

the code for the planet is right there

[pure salmon]

every call? how would i store this variable in the cardobject then

[sullen fern]

if it works with jokers surely it works with object types too

[hybrid shadow]

thats not what the error code is pointing to though

[sleek cliff]

there is no line 2982

[hybrid shadow]

in functions/common_events.lua?

[hybrid galleon]

did you added the new hand type while created the planet

[wintry solar]

card.ability.extra.whatever = bla

[gusty iron]

it works :)

[sullen fern]

G.jokers.cards might be what i'm looking for

[pure salmon]

i've changed king_removed away from a local variable and it's still removing all of the kings i play

[hybrid galleon]

my best guess is it probably crashed because you added a new hand type then continued the old save, I had this problem before

just do a new run

[hybrid shadow]

you also forgot to add a cost

but also try starting a new run and try to find it in a planet pack

[sullen fern]

this is probably NOT correct.

[sleek cliff]

cost hasn't made anything crash yet tho

[hybrid galleon]

my custom planets doesn't have a cost but it works all fine, I believe there's a default value of it

[sullen fern]

still trying to figure out how to make this only appear on jokers

[hybrid shadow]

have you tried the second thing yet

[sullen fern]

because right now

it appears on everything

[wintry solar]

Can you send the new code?

[sleek cliff]

It showed up in a pack, but immediately crashed after spawning

[wintry solar]

card is the object you’re hovering on so you need to check that

[hybrid shadow]

was the crash code the same

[sullen fern]

it would be an if statement then

if card is

[sleek cliff]

yyup

[sullen fern]

if card is a joker then,,,, badge

[placid star]

do you know where the draw step textures are stored?

[hybrid galleon]

that's confusing, but I'm still speculating the error is because your poker hand type, did you do that properly

[chrome widget]

Textures are stored just as they are for everywhere else, but for example, the spectral shader doesn't use a texture

[sullen fern]

is it as simple as "if this card is a joker then make the badge"

[placid star]

oh?

[sleek cliff]

there it is, but when my mouse goes over it, it crashes

[pure salmon]

the variable is defined up in config = { extra = {...}}

[wintry solar]

I think you’d be better using card.config.center_key and using that the find which badge to give it

[sullen fern]

so i should create every tribe badge first

[wintry solar]

You set it to false for every card

[hybrid galleon]

maybe that's because the text

[sullen fern]

then make the code for putting them on the jokers

[chrome widget]

A draw step to make the jokers display the spectral shader would quite literally just look like this:

    key = 'joker_shine',
    order = 11,
    func = function(self)
        if self.ability.set == 'Joker' and self:should_draw_base_shader() then
            self.children.center:draw_shader('booster', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader)
        end
    end,
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front' },
    conditions = { vortex = false, facing = 'front' },
}```

[pure salmon]

does context.destroy_card call for every card?

[wintry solar]

Yes

[hybrid shadow]

i do think this is likely the problem

[sullen fern]

is that what i should be doing?

[chrome widget]

Check in the SMODS repo to see what existing DrawSteps there are and STEAL

[wintry solar]

No you only need to create the correct badge

[sleek cliff]

what should I change then?

[wintry solar]

You just need to work out what the correct badge is first

[sullen fern]

the correct badge SHOULD be the badge for each corresponding tribe

eg: brave jokers get the brave badge

[wintry solar]

Yes but each card is in a different tribe right?

[sullen fern]

yeah

[wintry solar]

So you need to determine which tribe the card is before you can make the badge

[hybrid galleon]

maybe instead of process_loc_txt just do a normal localization, this is what I did for my own custom planets

[hybrid shadow]

have you made sure to give the name in your localization file

[hybrid shadow]

something's missing in terms of your localization if the nil index is occurring when you hover over the card

[sullen fern]

i didn't make tribe.lua for no reason, after all

so it should just iterate through all these jokers then

[lofty sand]

could someone describe what pseudorandom and G.GAME.probabilities.normal are used for? I assume card.ability.extra.odds is the listed probability on the card in the config = { extra = { odds = _ } } ?

[hybrid galleon]

I saw you did a custom badge, and did localize('k_planet_q') for the badge name, did you forgot to add it to the localization file perhaps?

[wintry solar]

I’m not 100% on the uses of object types, but in theory yeah, youd just loop through them all and check for type.cards[card.config.center_key]

[sleek cliff]

I didn't even know I needed one until now

[sullen fern]

i'm just lost on where to actually start

keep in mind that this is my first time doing this kinda thing
the toml was easy, but this is much harder

[sleek cliff]

now how would I do that, exactly?

[hybrid galleon]

do you have a localization file

[sleek cliff]

don't think so lol

[hybrid galleon]

then just erase the localization part and replace it with a string you want

[hybrid shadow]

i think this is actually one of the easiest parts of the smods wiki to understand so im linking it here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

[hybrid galleon]

instead of localize(k_planet_q), just do whatever name you want to

[sullen fern]

i don’t exactly know the specifics of it but yeah i guess

and i would do this for every other tribe

right

[wintry solar]

What other things are tribes going to do other than the badges?

[hybrid shadow]

why not just make a pool for each tribe and call for the pool when needed

[sullen fern]

well, the yo-kai watch joker works alongside jokers of other tribes

[frigid blaze]

How do you address the jokers that are on hand?

[hybrid shadow]

like in a joker slot?

[frigid blaze]

Yes

[sullen fern]

i specifically made all of the tribes a seperate object type so i could have them be called by other jokers

[sleek cliff]

like this???

[sullen fern]

and for booster pack pool reasons

[somber kiln]

does anyone know how to do the balatro jokers for my mods?

[sullen fern]

but more specifically this

[hybrid shadow]

create_badge('Skaro') i think is what they were saying

[sleek cliff]

ah

[hybrid galleon]

nonono just erase the localize part.

that badge thing is what the planet card's badge shows

[sullen fern]

aren’t the object types technically just joker pools

[hybrid galleon]

like Planet X is Planet? and Pluto is Dwarf Planet instead of Planet

[sullen fern]

much like how crypid has the food jokers

and the meme jokers

[sleek cliff]

eugh

[hybrid shadow]

cryptid uses a pool for it

[sullen fern]

food jokers are still a seperate object type though

[hybrid shadow]

lemme double check how cryptid does it

[hybrid galleon]

do this badges[#badges + 1] = create_badge('skaro', get_type_colour(self or card.config, card), nil, 1.2)

[dull sage]

This is going to be a long shot. I have a seal that will sometimes copy the effects of other seals, could the SMODS.blueprint_effect work to copy the seal?

[hybrid galleon]

or just erase the entire set_card_type_badge if you don't really want a custom badge

it's purely for cosmetics, it works all fine if you don't have a custom badge name

[sleek cliff]

neither change a thing

[hybrid shadow]

yeah you can do self:inject_card to insert whatever base game jokers you want into the ObjectType

[placid star]

how do you make custom pools?

[hybrid shadow]

if you do that, it doesn't apply to everything, and you can call for that ObjectType as a pool

[hybrid galleon]

show me the code then, I don't get it

[sullen fern]

does this not matter then?

[hybrid shadow]

is it adding the badge to jokers that aren't on that list?

[sullen fern]

it’s adding the badge to everything because i haven’t told it to only put it on jokers yet

still haven’t figured out how to make it apply to only jokers

[runic pecan]

This is supposed to "add 3 random enhanced odd cards", but crashed upon use.
Does anyone know where the issue is?

[hybrid galleon]

ok, you should not name it's key planet, if you're at least planning adding more

[sleek cliff]

so change the key name, got it

damn it

[hybrid galleon]

and it's strange to see you have 'flush_Flush' as your hand type, I'm pretty sure you're wrong

[sleek cliff]

ah, cause thats what it was like in the example

[sullen fern]

still need to figure this out btw. i’m not really getting anywhere

[hybrid galleon]

if this planet is upgrading your custom hand, then the hand should be (mod prefix)_(hand key)

[sleek cliff]

ohh

[hybrid galleon]

are your mod prefix flush? I don't think that's the case

[sleek cliff]

hah, no

[wintry solar]

okay I am on my pc now, let me type something up for you

[hybrid galleon]

this is an example of mine, it upgrades my custom hand named Chroma and bjwd is my mod prefix

[hybrid shadow]

if i have a sticker, and i want to detect if the sticker is on a card held in hand, what would that look like? would it just be if context.cardarea == G.hand?

[hybrid galleon]

sticker on hand? is that possible? or you mean seal

[hybrid shadow]

i have a card that applies custom stickers to playing cards (which is a thing that is available by default)

[sleek cliff]

back to square fucking one

[hybrid galleon]

wow I never thought it would work
if that's the case maybe you should try

[wintry solar]

@sullen fern ```lua
function create_tribe_badge(card)
local tribe = get_tribe(card)
return create_badge(tribe, G.C.EDITION. G.C.WHITE, 1.2) -- adjust these values
end

function get_tribe(card)
local tribes = {'Brave', } --Add keys for other types here
for _, tribe in ipairs(tribes) do
if SMODS.ObjectTypes[tribe].cards[card.config.center_key] then return tribe end
end
end

[hybrid shadow]

i have it working, im now just trying to get the sticker to actually do stuff

[hybrid galleon]

can I see your custom poker hand code then? the planet's code is fine but I think the problem is you didn't add the poker hand properly

[sleek cliff]

I'm not trying to make a new hand, just a new planet

[wintry solar]

remove the generate_ui = 0

[hybrid galleon]

that's confusing? why would you make a planet if you didn't add any new hand types?

[grand sage]

does anyone know whats wrong with this when i try and use this partner it shows the image but says error and it effect doesnt work right

[sleek cliff]

to make it upgrade two handtypes instead of one

[hybrid galleon]

I'm pretty sure if you want that then the general code for planets are not usable

you have to hard code the use function to make that

[sleek cliff]

well son of a bitch.

[sullen fern]

alright.

what do i replace the "_" with

[wintry solar]

nothing

[grand sage]

cryptid has planets that upgrade multiple hands right?

[wintry solar]

dont change anything I sent for now

[sullen fern]

all of the cards STILL have the brave tag

[placid star]

[sullen fern]

did i mean all of the cards?

i mean EVERYTHING.

even the tags still have them

[wintry solar]

oh woops I missed a line hold on

add if tribe then above the create_badge line

and an end after it

[sullen fern]

hey, it works!

only the brave tribe jokers have the brave badge

now to change the color of the badge

i think i can just use a hex code

[wintry solar]

does each tribe have a colour?

[sullen fern]

each tribe is associated with a different color

[wintry solar]

add the colours to the object types

then you can put SMODS.ObjectTypes[tribe].colour in the function

[sleek cliff]

there goes my planet plans

[sullen fern]

brave is red, msyterious is yellow, tough is orange, charming is pink, heartful is green, shady is blue, eerie is purple, and slippery is teal

[sullen fern]

so i would just, bake the colors into the tribes?

[wintry solar]

yes

[sullen fern]

how exactly would i do that

[wintry solar]

add colour = HEX('hexcode') to each object

[hybrid shadow]

look through this to see if it helps
https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/main/items/planet.lua

[sullen fern]

i forgot but does the hexcode need the hash

[wintry solar]

no

[sullen fern]

does it need quotes around it

the hexcode i mean

[wintry solar]

yes it needs to be a string

[sullen fern]

so i would replace "G.C.EDITION" with that

[wintry solar]

yup

[placid star]

where is SMODS.ObjectType 's stroed

[sullen fern]

do i keep it as "tribe" or do i replace it with the tribe key

[wintry solar]

keep it as tribe

tribe is a dynamic value based on the card you're hovering on

[sullen fern]

shit.

wait i forgot to make one of them a string

wow!

got it to show different colors for different tribes but the badge still just says "brave"

[wintry solar]

yeah you changed the value

[grand sage]

=]]

[sullen fern]

idk why canio doesnt have a badge

[frigid blaze]

The value of 1 comes right away no whistle is in hand or not j_fut_testing, what is the correct way?

[wintry solar]

you probably typed his key wrong

[sullen fern]

example

[sullen fern]

pretty sure i did

[wintry solar]

should be j_caino

and this should be tribe

[placid star]

how can insert cards into my pool?

[frigid blaze]

Yelled right, he's probably looking for it in the collection, not in the

[rapid stag]

no change when i patch the original function. same behaviour occurs

[frigid blaze]

How do I get him to check it in his hand?

[sullen fern]

bam

[frigid blaze]

I need to make a check if there is a Joker in my hand, if yes to return =1.

???

[sullen fern]

gilgaros and slurpent finally have effects

[hybrid galleon]

I made a lot of new hand types based on suits and that made normal Five of a Kind builds nearly impossible to play lol

if you want an ordinary five of a kind you must have a 2+1+1+1 combination suit-wise or it'll be another poker hand

[loud vortex]

bump

[sullen fern]

now that i have the tribe system implimented, i gotta implement the tribe specific buffoon packs

[frigid blaze]

I need to make a check if there is a Joker in my hand, if yes to return =1.

[stiff locust]

G.jokers.cards

[frigid blaze]

I fixed it, but it still returns 1 no matter if I have the Joker or not

[stiff locust]

try check if #SMODS.find_card("joker") > 0

SMODS.find_card creates a list of all instances of the card

[maiden phoenix]

It should be G.jokers.cards btw

[primal robin]

[cyan lagoon]

how can i create a tag?

[red flower]

add_tag(Tag("key"))

[cyan lagoon]

a random one?

[zealous glen]

keep in mind you need to do more work to make sure Orbital Tags work

[red flower]

you need to pick it from G.P_TAGS iirc

[onyx sonnet]

been having a crash i cant decipher, could someone help me understand what is causing this?

[red flower]

add_tag(Tag(key, nil, "Small")) i think? from what Eremel said the other day

[zealous glen]

Paperback has an utility function to create a random Tag

[red flower]

do you use a table as a key anywhere?

[zealous glen]

so I'd just use that

[onyx sonnet]

i dont think i do?

[zealous glen]

also do you do anything with applying Edition shaders to soul sprites

[red flower]

not anything more than what you posted on the smods discord no

[onyx sonnet]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = "jokERROR",
  config = { extra = { } },
  unlocked = true,
  discovered = true, 
  blueprint_compat = false,
  eternal_compat = true,
  perishable_compat = true,
  rarity = 2,
  atlas = "EmeraldJokers",
  pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
  cost = 8,


  calculate = function(self, card, context)
      if context.before and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
        local suit = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, pseudoseed('vandalised'))
        for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        v:juice_up()
                        v:change_suit(suit.key)
                        return true
                    end
                })) 
                v.base.suit = suit
        end
        return {
          message = localize('k_ERROR'),
          colour = G.C.PURPLE
        }
      end
  end
}

this is the joker that causes it

[frigid blaze]

Thanks bro, it works😉

[sullen fern]

i’ve never really made a booster before

how would i do that

[abstract peak]

i had a game where hovering over a "The Star" would crash my game lol. I looked at the save data and nothing was wrong. weird stuff

i think it happened once i installed Talisman

[red flower]

is v.base.suit a suit table?

or is it a string normally?

[onyx sonnet]

iirc its a string?

[red flower]

then you're assigning it wrong

[onyx sonnet]

oh

what would be the correct way

[faint yacht]

assert(SMODS.change_base(card, suit))

[red flower]

suit.key? maybe idk

[sullen fern]

i assume making a booster is easy though, especially since in have pools in the form of object types

[red flower]

or change all the logic to use that

[onyx sonnet]

thank you both!

hm

[red flower]

i would look into how other mods do it

for the objecttypes you can do
return { set = "key of the objecttype", area = G.pack_cards } in create_card iirc

[red flower]

same issue, it doesn't take a table it would be suit.key probably

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[onyx sonnet]

yeah i changed it to .key and it worked

thanks!

[rapid stag]

bumping my issue - working on return to hand functionality and for some reason the returned card is flipped down and non-functional

'down' doesn't matter. i tried 'up' and it's the same

patching the original function instead of hooking into it makes no change, the behaviour is the same.

[red flower]

can you show me the definition of draw_card pls

[onyx sonnet]

you also need to check if context.other_card has the sticker, otherwise it tries to calculate every card held in hand

not sure how that looks though, never interacted with stickers

[rapid stag]

to my understanding, this is a vanilla function found in common_events.lua

[red flower]

yeah it's the stay_flipped argument

[hybrid shadow]

apparently they act kinda similar to seals, so whatever works for those might work for stickers?

[rapid stag]

ah, i see it. so i need to adjust how i call the function thanks

[abstract peak]

Could I get a 2nd set of eyes on this maybe?

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Talisman/issues/79

I've looked through the source code and also my inflated save file and I'm struggling to come up with what would cause this.

I tried to find numbers that are just like half defined or something but nothing. Maybe some number is not set when it needs to be? but I couldn't find anything like that.

I can try to post my save file if it helps.

it's crashing on e_ify so the exponent is nil? idk how that would happen

[rapid stag]

i was about to say that i adjusted the function to pass false for stay_flipped to no effect, but i looked at draw_card() and... the stay_flipped argument appears to do nothing? do i need to patch draw_card() to make it take stay_flipped into account

[pure salmon]

how do i make a joker do something when a card retriggers

[onyx sonnet]

unfortunately this does outspeed the event

i think ill go back to my original method but with the key

[daring fern]

I did this I think but I don’t have the code right now.

[sullen fern]

does anyone have a booster sprite template

[daring fern]

I’m pretty sure I used G.FUNCS.draw_from_play_to_hand I think.

[polar star]

is there SMODS.has_enhancements key for no enhancements?

[daring fern]

Are you trying to check if a card is not enhanced?

[polar star]

yeah pretty much

[daring fern]

if not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[polar star]

I thought maybe there was like m_none or something

[sullen fern]

actually aikoyori's mod actually has blank booster sprites

[abstract peak]

if anyone wants to work with me on trying to save my save file and/or fixing the underlying issue, feel free to ping or DM me.

[polar star]

well, wouldn't I need to do context.other_card to check the actual playing card instead of the joker? because when I try that there seem to be errors

I might be missing somethin

[daring fern]

card is supposed to be the card your referring to and not a joker?

[polar star]

sorry I should've given more context

I'm checking the playing card during scoring, since I'm making a joker that activates on non enhanced cards when scored

[daring fern]

context.other_card?

[polar star]

yeah it gives an error when trying context.other_card in the code you suggested

not with card though

actually nevermind same with card

[daring fern]

Code?

[onyx sonnet]

wonderful

[polar star]

this bit

[daring fern]

Are you checking for context.individual before this?

[polar star]

yea

along with context.cardarea == G.play

[daring fern]

What is the crash log?

[polar star]

ok wait it might just be my code editor marking it as an error when it isn't

lemme test in game first

[polar star]

sorryy..

yeah it works, it was just me being stupid

thanks :>

[red flower]

i think that's what i did before context.stay_flipped was a thing yes

[rapid stag]

context.stay_flipped?

i am also trying to patch it, but it's being extremely stubborn about it this is where i got, but it's still not making any difference

[red flower]

context.stay_flipped let's you keep cards drawn from the deck flipped like the blinds do

before it existed i patched the functions

let me look at the code and ill get back in a sec

[sturdy compass]

That’s a thing???

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[red flower]

oh i think i got it

[wispy sparrow]

trying to make my very first joker, although i'm not sure what context is needed when a hearts or clubs card scores

[red flower]

your returntohandfunc is evaluated in the if statement but it doesnt return anything so it never passes the check, so the game then tries to run the original draw from play to discard and flips the card

[rapid stag]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

that makes sense

[red flower]

the context for cards scoring is context.individual, you need to check manually what suit it is
check https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/2f0d20ef767c7de985d71b8e283690d2d9ca5dbf/src/jokers.lua#L35

[wispy sparrow]

alright, i'll look into that

[rapid stag]

yep, fixed. thanks

[pure salmon]

the code conditional on the tally isn't activating (everything after if tally >= 2 then)

[wispy sparrow]

and apparently there's an unexpected symbol near '=' on line 32, which is supposed to represent if the joker's discovered or not

oh wait maybe it has to do with the comma just before it

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check

[pure salmon]

yeah that was the issue

thank you

[loud vortex]

bumpin'

[wild escarp]

Is there some good reference code to use for making blinds?

[glad osprey]

the names code, source code

[wild escarp]

That stuff is so confusing.

[red flower]

blinds have calculate functions now so you can treat them like jokers

[glad osprey]

oh yea I forgot source code doesn't have that

[glass scaffold]

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

[wild escarp]

Already been looking at that, just wondering if there's any fully fleshed out blind code I can look at for reference.

[glad osprey]

aikoyoris shenanigans has some blinds but idk if they use default smods code so take that with a grain of salt

[marble flint]

https://github.com/BakersDozenBagels/BalatroBakery/blob/main/src%2Fblind.lua

[wild escarp]

Thank you!

[abstract peak]

would really appreciate if someone would look into this with me

[stiff locust]

can info_queues use joker values as variables

from the card they are on

[shut crater]

you could maybe use the localize function to do what you're trying to do

[stiff locust]

i need a value from a specific joker

to display on an info queue

because the value scales per joker

[shut crater]

what card is the info queue on

[stiff locust]

a joker

the joker that has that value

i'm hoping i can refer to loc_vars returned values with #1# and such like in a joker's description

is it that easy

[red flower]

{ set = "Joker", key = key, vars = {} }

i think

and you put what you would in loc_vars in vars

[shut crater]

is that the return of loc_vars?

or the localize function

[red flower]

no you add that to info_queue

[stiff locust]

that's something you would put inside a loc_vars to get it to pull an info_queue from somewhere

which is the opposite of what I want

[shut crater]

oh interesting

[red flower]

G.P_CENTERS[key]:loc_vars ?

i dont understand what you're asking honestly

[shut crater]

I think they want an info_queue box to pop up but to use a variable from the joker creating the info_queue

instead of just using the other center's normal values

[red flower]

doesn't this do that

[shut crater]

unsure, I've never done that before and I'm not at my computer

[zealous glen]

does anyone know how to send args to shaders (manually)

[stiff locust]

oh oh the vars = argument

[red flower]

yeah

[flint fern]

how do i texture a modded thing in malverk
if you dont know, are there any example malverk texture packs that textures modded stuff?

[spiral crown]

is anyone able to give an example how they add their consumables to the collection? I have been unable to figure it out by looking at other mods

[shut crater]

consumables should automatically be added to the collection

did you add a custom consumabletype?

[spiral crown]

yea sorry should have been more clear

[shut crater]

(not that that changes the answer, those get added automatically too)

[spiral crown]

new type

[zealous glen]

@shut crater do you know how to pass args to shaders directly

[shut crater]

I remember seeing the code that does it but I haven't done it myself and I'm not at my computer

[zealous glen]

I'm looking at the code but I don't understand why mine doesn't work

[shut crater]

try looking at the Sprite:draw (maybe it's called Sprite:draw_card ?) function

ah

[zealous glen]

I'm calling draw_shader

[rapid stag]

someone remind me how i shallow print a table again?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/2f0d20ef767c7de985d71b8e283690d2d9ca5dbf/src/tarots.lua#L1

[shut crater]

inspect I think

[shut crater]

I assume you've already looked here
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Edition#api-methods-1

[gusty iron]

how do i access the current chips?

[shut crater]

the current chips for the blind or the currently scoring hand?

[gusty iron]

like

the scoring hand

i think

yeah

[zealous glen]

Yes but I'm using draw_shader

I'm not using any SMODS.Shader method

and I don't think I should based on vanilla's Card.draw and the SMODS.DrawSteps that I'm looking at

[shut crater]

can you more specifically describe the intended effect cause there's like 15 different kinds of "current chips" and I want to give you the right one

(slight hyperbole but there are like 3 or 4)

[gusty iron]

when the joker is triggered, i want it to do the tangent of the current chips

not blind chips, the scoring chips

[shut crater]

I hate it
use hand_chips, it's a global variable

[gusty iron]

:)

[hallow forge]

math

[zealous glen]

wasn't it chips?

[red flower]

math

[shut crater]

as a math tutor I cringe

[red flower]

no

mult is mult tho

[gusty iron]

integral and derivative joker coming soon 🔥

heres what they all do

[red flower]

hey this is just like in the hit videogame the world ends with you

[shut crater]

Unit circle:
X3 Mult if you can fill out the unit circle in under a minute

[gusty iron]

i would do that but i SUCK WITH UI

[shut crater]

valid

[gusty iron]

i would KILL for a ui helper tool

[shut crater]

it just opens a webapp in a new tab

and you fill it out there

[gusty iron]

true

[hallow forge]

r u insane

[gusty iron]

i know how to crash the game via jokers too

os.exit() go brrr

[shut crater]

while true do
hand_chips = hand_chips + 1
end

oops that's python

too many languages in my head

[gusty iron]

"what the hell"
repeat all cards in hand 2^900 times

[zealous glen]

too zetta slow

[zealous glen]

just use the tech from that mod that allows you to draw Jokers in-game

[shut crater]

this joke is getting too close to becoming a reality

[gusty iron]

i might do that

yeah

[placid star]

has anyone made their own shaders? looking at the .fs files it seems like itd be hell

[shut crater]

yes and you are correct

shaders are dark magic and the toll they extract is emotional

[placid star]

haha i dont need to learn them for anything i want to implement but is there anyguides on how to make them? or how to learn

[shut crater]

For Love2D specifically: https://blogs.love2d.org/content/beginners-guide-shaders
Shaders in general: https://thebookofshaders.com/

Love2D uses a slight variant of GLSL so you can just learn GLSL

[placid star]

damn, did it take u long to learn?

[shut crater]

who said I learned anything lol

I struggled through it and technically have a working shader

[placid star]

lmaoo

[shut crater]

(I had some minimal shader experience prior)

[shut crater]

the good news is that there are actually a ridiculously large number of resources on writing shaders, so if you're actually interested in learning you would definitely have the ability to do so

[placid star]

hm ill take a look ty!! i dont even want to use them tbh i just want to learn how to do it

[shut crater]

oh also I've had this series recommended to me
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLImQaTpSAdsCnJon-Eir92SZMl7tPBS4Z

[gentle rain]

wait nvm

just saw something crucial

[sullen fern]

does anyone have symbol ideas for the fighter, the malicious, and the leviathan?

i already have a bit of a theme going with the ones i already made (that being fictional languages)

symbols will simply not do.

[spiral crown]

okay, followed the github for 'ConsumableType' and it appears in collection now but the name on the button is ERROR? Tried using the key 'name' to fill in a value but no dice... anyone know the problem?

[nova eagle]

i have 2 questions... where would i put it so that it removes $200 every time the death save is used?

[shut crater]

https://github.com/chaseoqueso/Powerful_Balatro/blob/master/localization/default.lua#L193

[nova eagle]

also how do i change the saved by dr.bones text?

[shut crater]

in your return table add dollars = -200

[shut crater]

I think maybe that's not possible

or at least it didn't used to be

[gentle rain]

tried adding a hook to the ease_dollars function and now its just negating all money earned nothing?

[sullen fern]

the ones that i already have are the warrior ("warrior" in the warrior language), the poltergiest ("dead" in the devotee language), the fairy ("fairy" in the alchemist language), the ditz ("idiot" in the bard language), and the fear ("fear" in the anchorite language)

al of which are from chants of sennaar

[shut crater]

you're passing in self, not the parameters of the function

[sullen fern]

i dont want to be just limited to chants of sennaar though

[nova eagle]

that worked... the text is fine ig... thanks for the help

[gentle rain]

why does that matter? my other function hooks call self and they work fine

[wispy sparrow]

real quick, how do i set mult and chip gain to the highest number they reached previously

[gentle rain]

ohhhhh i think the issue was the others dont have parameters

[shut crater]

uh
like you want to know what is the highest number of chips and mult that any hand has reached in the whole run? or

[wispy sparrow]

no i'm trying to make rock bottom as a joker

[gentle rain]

beautiful

[shut crater]

I don't understand what that means

[sullen fern]

rock bottom, from the binding of isaac

[wispy sparrow]

basically, rock bottom saves the highest stats you reached in it's original game, and the way i'm recreating that as a joker is by adding the chips and mult by the highest number they reached

[shut crater]

I've never played 😔

[spiral crown]

sorry, i'm not understanding

[wispy sparrow]

not sure how i'm gonna get the chip and mult gain to fit that logic though

[shut crater]

do you mean like across runs? like meta-progression?

[wispy sparrow]

no

[shut crater]

you need an additional localization entry, I linked you to where I put it in my mod

[placid star]

how would i patch my game to allow me to change this line? do i need to use .toml??... i hate toml

[placid star]

from smods/utils btw

[spiral crown]

I can't just use a string? I haven't been using localization

[cobalt arrow]

How difficult is the code for this?

[placid star]

stray pixel lmoa

[cobalt arrow]

LOL

[placid star]

but considering that the draw runs off a pseudorandom line i belive, probably VERY difficult

[cobalt arrow]

this idea was so cool for Athena 😭

[placid star]

you could patch the game to draw cards to a custom card area and those cards are then drawn to hand

easier than changing how you fundamentally draw cards

[placid star]

[gentle rain]

fifteen jokers :D

time to work on my consumable type :3

[nova eagle]

am i right to just assume this will spawn in the soul spawn pool?

[pure salmon]

how do i get the cost of a card in context.buying_card and does it scale with clearance sale/liquidation

[placid star]

if rarity is 4 then yeah

[nova eagle]

ok

so i just spent like 10 minutes looking for a soul for nothing

cool

[placid star]

context.card.config.center.cost i think? you need to look for the cost var in context.card

and yes it does scale with vouchers

[pure salmon]

good, thank you

[hybrid shadow]

how do i have a voucher that doubles (and a tier 2 voucher that quadruples) the chances of select rarities appearing

[placid star]

change the default weight of rarities

e.g for rare being double as common def weight could go from 0.95 to 0.90

[hybrid shadow]

?

[winged kernel]

is there a way to store data in a sticker? the normal config = {} doesn't seem to work at all

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know why this consumable use code doesn't work? [crash below]

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        card.ability.extra.active = not card.ability.extra.active
        
        local temp = copy_card(card)
        temp:add_to_deck()
        G.consumeables.emplace(temp)
    end,

i might be a bit braindead but i have no clue what the problem is since card is evidently not nil

[hybrid shadow]

wait, really? currently working with stickers (or at least trying to) and did not know this

[gentle rain]

if i want to keep my code in a file other than main.lua, do i have to write code that says to load that script, or does smods just load every lua file in my mod?

[placid star]

print cards config.center.key and show output

[umbral zodiac]

well that is just the name of my card

[winged kernel]

yep, debugging along with the crashes shows me that any value that I store inside is not being properly stored (extra is just what I put inside the config ={})

[placid star]

yup so is that the card you are copying

[umbral zodiac]

yea im trying to make it so it just copies itself, as it's meant to just be a toggle for an ability rather than a one-time thing

[placid star]

use keep_on_use = function(self,card) instead for mutliple use consums

[hybrid shadow]

did this crash before you got into the game (i think i had this error last night with smth other than a sticker)

[umbral zodiac]

ooh thank you

[winged kernel]

only when I hover on the card or try to access it

hovering cause of the description

[hybrid shadow]

start a new run

[winged kernel]

i'm just in the collection lol

[hybrid shadow]

what is the whole crash message, because i know it points you to a specific line in something

[short girder]

how do i add repetition to this so i can stop the calculation from triggering 7 trillion times instead of once ?

[winged kernel]

here's the majority of the crash log and the line it crashes on

[faint yacht]

if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual

[short girder]

okay !

[faint yacht]

.config is for self, .ability is for card there.

[winged kernel]

ah that's unfortunate on my end

let me fix that then

[hybrid shadow]

this is not very clear

[winged kernel]

yep that works! Thanks for the help!
Sorry to bother everyone with a simple mistake lol

[wispy sparrow]

i just got another idea for a joker: it acts like mr bones but instead of self destructing once it's used, it takes money from you. once you get into debt the joker won't save you

[placid star]

idk take ownership of rarities and change the default weight var of them

how can i hook my own joker to also have holograms shader

[quartz ravine]

Wow this is such a great idea, I am pissed

[hybrid shadow]

does anyone have a better answer

[quartz ravine]

Super unique and eye catching artwork

[red flower]

im pretty sure there's a G.GAME.rare_mod or something like that to change the weights

let me look

[shut crater]

@wispy sparrow I was literally just helping someone with that lol

(not the debt part though)

[hybrid shadow]

i mean im using custom rarities, the voucher is supposed to change the chance

but also how tf does weight work

[hybrid shadow]

like ive asked a few times what the default weights are for the vanilla joker rarities and never got an answer

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

it's like 5% 20% and 75% i think

[hybrid shadow]

how would that be expressed in weight

[red flower]

i mean weight is relative to all other weights

so you would have to calculate it based on those

[hybrid shadow]

knowing the percent doesnt help if i dont know how its expressed

[red flower]

i know

sorry i cant be more helpful

you can print SMODS.Rarities and look

[glass scaffold]

Would it not be like 0.1 = 1% weight?

Lower is rarer and higher is more common?

[red flower]

☝️

if you have only one 0.1 weight that would still be 100%

[shut crater]

(assuming the default values N provided are correct)
Common has a weight of .75
Uncommon has a weight of .2
Rare has a weight of .05
The sum of their weights is 1 so they have probabilities of 0.75/1, 0.2/1, and 0.05/1, respectively
Adding a rarity called Blork with a weight of 0.4 doesn't change the weights of the others, but it changes the sum of the weights to 1.4
Now Common has a probabilty of 0.75/1.4, Uncommon is 0.2/1.4, Rare is 0.05/1.4, and Blork is 0.4/1.4

[red flower]

if you have 0.1 and 0.1 each is 50%

[wild escarp]

Is it possible to make non animated blinds?

[placid star]

what is the easiest way of applying the hologram shader to another jerkler

[red flower]

do what hologram does but in the jokers draw function

[placid star]

it does this, i dont know how to do this lmao

[shut crater]

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

[red flower]

use this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/591b7129f30d2ab2ea4b47782d004294fd94b440/src/jokers.lua#L1994

like this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/591b7129f30d2ab2ea4b47782d004294fd94b440/src/jokers.lua#L4359

[hybrid shadow]

alr, say i used the same weight for my rarities, what would i do for a voucher that doubles/quadruples the chances of the custom rarities appearing? double/quadruple the weight?

[red flower]

yes

[pure salmon]

this variable works but doesn't seem to scale with vouchers

[placid star]

oh shit sorry

[red flower]

use context.card.cost

[pure salmon]

oh yeah how do i chance the dollar value without dollars = because that sends a message

[shut crater]

technically the math doesn't work out that nicely but that's probably how I'd implement it

[red flower]

ease_dollars(value)

there's probably a way to make that not send a message but i dont remember rn

[hybrid shadow]

how would i do that in code

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity#api-documentation-smodsrarity

default_weight: Setting a numerical value for default_weight enables cards with this rarity to appear in the shop at the specified weight.
This sets a default weight, which can be modified by accessing G.GAME[key:lower() .. '_mod'] during a run.

[hybrid shadow]

so would the voucher just change it like
G.GAME['key'] * 2 or smth?

[shut crater]

I would guess G.GAME['key'] = G.GAME['key'] * 2
but I've never done this before, I'm just going off of documentation

[nova eagle]

how do i change this to all cards instead of face cards only?

[shut crater]

(this is assuming that 'key' is following the correct template provided by the docs)

[umbral zodiac]

how could i make a consumable give 0.5xmult in context.post_joker

[shut crater]

remove the if statement that checks if the card is a face card
