funnn

[timid parrot]

those are basically your edge cases for removal

[sullen fern]

classic medal

[red flower]

G.playing_cards

[burnt cairn]

thank you 🫡 this would go in the jokers calculate function right

[timid parrot]

otherwise, loop through G.deck and fix all the glass cards

[shut crater]

nope, those are separate from calculate

[shut crater]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Joker#api-methods

[burnt cairn]

then in the joker but seperate to calculate

got it

[sullen fern]

and comparison with the regular medal

[bleak coral]

Is there any way to make imgui work w/ balatro mods? Otherwise, is there a basic UI library or smth? Making a personal project, too lazy/not that good at modding to make an actual ui

[spice wadi]

i might be crazy but where on earth are the variables for things like lucky card odds? they seem to exist according to the localisation but theyre not used ingame and i cant find where theyre defined

[bleak coral]

probabilities.normal is probably 1/1, so dividing by 5 makes it 1/5 for the +20 mult i'd guess?

not that good at balatro modding but i've looked into a lil, and thats my best guess

[burnt cairn]

nah #5# refers to the 5th variable in config.extra

[spice wadi]

no i get that
but with everything else they use a variable (like self.ability.extra.odds)
a variable like this seems to exist for lucky cards but i cant find it

[burnt cairn]

which would be defined somewhere mysterious and hidden

[red flower]

they don't exist, they're hardcoded in the localization too

[spice wadi]

i dont think i follow

[red flower]

they are hardcoded in loc_vars too

[spice wadi]

oh where is this?

[red flower]

common_events.lua

[spice wadi]

and since its hard coded, how would i access that as a variable

[red flower]

you can't

you need to patch the code

[worthy stirrup]

How could i get the most abundant suit

or like, get the amount of cards in a suit

[red flower]

loop through G.playing_cards and count them

[spice wadi]

im going to but when i do, would it be like self.loc_vars[5]? (this is my first time patching and messing with vars like this)

sorry if this is a question with an obvious answer

[worthy stirrup]

yea, I mostly just dont know where I could place this in my code

SMODS.Blind {
  key = "SmearBoss",
  loc_txt = {
    name = "The Ugly",
    text = {
      "Debuffs Most Abundant Suit in Deck",
      "(#1#)"
    }
  },
  atlas = 'Bosses',
  pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
  boss_colour = HEX('9f805e'),

  debuff = {
  },

  boss = {
    min = 1,
    max = 10,
  },

  loc_vars = function(self)
    return { vars = {} }
  end
}

[red flower]

no, when you patch you're rewriting the code
you would add the values to the config yourself and then change loc_vars

[red flower]

you would do it in loc_vars for the description and in calculate/debuff_card? for the effect

[worthy stirrup]

oh, so just write the code twice?

[red flower]

yeah

[worthy stirrup]

oh

[red flower]

i mean you can make a helper function

[worthy stirrup]

ngl, i thought functions were only for jokers

[red flower]

you can add any functions you want to the code

[worthy stirrup]

oh wait

i mistook it for events

so, if i want to make it a function, i could give it a name and have it be name = function()

or would i just have it be function()

[spice wadi]

so to clarify i have to

• add the vars to the config
• make the localisation use those
• do the same for the lucky card calculations

[red flower]

yes

[spice wadi]

okay thank you very much

[red flower]

im not sure why smods doesn't do that already

[spice wadi]

wait maybe it does i dont even know how to check

[red flower]

i dont see it in the lovely/dump so it doesn't seem like it

[burnt cairn]

fairly confident theres no unclosed brackets here

[red flower]

you're missing a comma

[burnt cairn]

thanks error message

[red flower]

please get an editor with syntax error highlighting

[burnt cairn]

vscode is scary 💥

[red flower]

vscode is a text editor

[burnt cairn]

💥

[spice wadi]

yeah actually looking at it, it seems to change code in that part but not that bit specifically

[red flower]

like it literally looks less complicated than notepad++

[spice wadi]

if i were to make a patch to add these variables, should i make a push/pull request

[red flower]

you could

i feel like they would want the entire logic replaced by take_ownership tho

[spice wadi]

i have no idea how that would work in this scenario

is this smth that would just be better to suggest or mention in their discord 😭

[red flower]

i think so

[wintry solar]

I’m not sure if smods should make lucky cards easily accessible or not tbh

[burnt cairn]

its a modding engine would you not want to have everything easily accessible

[wintry solar]

Well that’s what take ownership is for

Or do the lucky checks bypass that?

[red flower]

i havent tested but it seems hardcoded

if it's not then that's an easier solution to @spice wadi 's problem

[burnt cairn]

got vscode. i might be stupid but it doesnt seem to be highlighting any syntax errors

[red flower]

go to extensions and search for lua

download the one by sumneko

[worthy stirrup]

wait, is debuff{} only called once?

[spice wadi]

im reading about how take ownership works, and im not sure how helpful it would be as i would still have to rewrite things like the calculate function
id rather do a patch tbh

[worthy stirrup]

for the blinds

[scarlet thorn]

Trying to make a second button like the sell button, and I have all the code exactly the same as vanilla, its just in a different child. Every instance of "use_button" was edited to have my button aswell with the same functionality

[worthy stirrup]

bc ive got a list of what suits should be debuffed but it just isnt debuffing them

plus it isnt crashing so i dont get any info from it

oh right, heres the code

[burnt cairn]

alright got it not crashing the add_to_deck and remove_from_deck arent doing anything though

this is correct isnt it

[red flower]

no

you don't want to take_ownership

you want to change the value directly in the card

[burnt cairn]

right

[worthy stirrup]

wait, i should check, can the boss's debuff = {} debuff more than one suit?

[bleak coral]

Anyone know if there's a way to get imgui, or an imgui-like library, to work as a mod? Working on a personal project, tried love-imgui but can't get it to render

[placid star]

this goes up 17 times after one round...

[hybrid shadow]

would it be possible to check if a card isnt in the deck by doing something like
context.cardarea != G.deck?

[red flower]

add and context.main_eval

[red flower]

you can check card.area ~= G.deck

[hybrid shadow]

~ would be the not in that statement?

[red flower]

yes

[spice wadi]

this might be a stupid question again but why do none of these result in matches even tho i copied the code directly?

[haughty hatch]

hiyas, stumbling my way through making a music mod for my own personal use and am mostly figuring it out butttt

im having trouble figuring out what i would check to see if im in shop for the select_music_track function

at least i assume that is how i would do it

(also sorry to dump a question on top of the other questions)

[red flower]

hmm weird looks fine to me

[spice wadi]

oh also i did dump the lua i believe

no differences it seems

[lofty sand]

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with a copy effect joker. Functionally, it's almost exactly the same as blueprint but it copies both adjacent jokers, except it can't be copied itself (so it doesn't crash from a recursive loop). The copy effect works fine, however the joker is also supposed to get the sell cost of the joker it's copying and subtract that from your money whenever it returns that jokers ability. This works fine for any joker that works during scoring, like any flat mult or chip jokers, retrigger jokers, or on card scoring jokers. However, this does not work on jokers whose abilities function outside of a blind, such as cartomancer, hallucination, even certificate. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I could fix that? lmk if you'd like to see my code and/or a clip showing the issue

[quartz ravine]

Steam Modded heavily rewrites somee evaluations. You should look at the lovely directory to see how the code really looks after other things have finished patching the base code

To be specific, I thought those mods would work by overwriting the directory of the game. Not so! It actually patches the code on startup when the game runs. So the actual running code may not resemble the balatro source directory

[spice wadi]

"lovely/dump/card.lua" right?

just wanna make sure im looking in the right places

[quartz ravine]

Yes! and I often turn off match_indent. That makes it even harder to get the regex replacement to work

[wintry solar]

they need to match full lines

these aren't full lines

[spice wadi]

ohhhh i didnt realise that

makes sense

[quartz ravine]

great catch! I didn't notice it either

[indigo whale]

damn

[quartz ravine]

Has anyone here posted about their mod on Reddit? I was looking for some more folks who might be willing to test it and let me know what they think 🙂

[bleak coral]

Anyone here know how I could have something like imgui for my mod with Steamodded?

[tired kestrel]

How do you detect the joker key? (just curious)

for draw step?

like a spesific joker?

[sullen fern]

idk why i made baseball card the giant enemy spider

[quartz ravine]

I am so happy about how this booster looks

[quartz ravine]

Super overkill but this is how I do it to apply shaders to certain decks

[tired kestrel]

Alright but when I can refer to a joker how is this supposed to be? currentBack.effect.center

But yeah good to know

[quartz ravine]

The joker would be like this

SMODS.find_card("j_Fox_IncrementalHermie")

if next(SMODS.find_card("j_Fox_IncrementalHermie")) then
  local joker = SMODS.find_card("j_Fox_IncrementalHermie")

[spice wadi]

ty everyone here who helped me i finally got that stupid patch working and lucky cards are variable controlled now 🤩

[red flower]

SMODS.find_card("key")[1]

[tired kestrel]

Here's what I've at one point had at first or tried to.

[tired kestrel]

I'll try that eventually but yeah.

[worthy stirrup]

i was scrolling quickly and for a second i thought the card next to it was freddy

[urban wasp]

why is my edition sound crashing the game??

[sullen fern]

no that's bald bull

[tired kestrel]

I tried this but it didn't show the booster shader on the necromancer card.

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

[red flower]

you don't need to do all that

just self.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_jokerkey"

[worthy stirrup]

How could i make it so my boss blind divides mult by a number?

[red flower]

also if it's only for one joker you can use draw

instead of drawstep

[hardy mural]

how would i apply post shaders to balatro without using reshade anyone know?

[red flower]

before or after scoring?

[worthy stirrup]

either works, but after is peferred

[red flower]

you can use calculate with context.final_scoring_step and do mult = mult/number

[tired kestrel]

oh.

[tired kestrel]

oh. and how do I do this to this?

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'necromancer', 
    loc_txt = {
        ['en-us'] = {
            name = "Necromancer", 
            text = {
                "Create three Ethereal Tags",
                "when Blind is selected"
            }
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = {
        extra = {
            -- No additional properties required for now
        }
    },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 4,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- I don't know
        end
}

[hallow forge]

don't forget legendary

[sullen fern]

the legendary medals? hm

[hallow forge]

yes

they r gold onthe outside right

[tired kestrel]

thanks! now it works!

[sullen fern]

i wasnt really thinking about adding them but i guess i could add a medal for each legendary that unlocks when you unlock the legendary yo-kai

[hallow forge]

please add attention text to that

[shut crater]

can anyone give me the low-down on how to switch localization entries for a joker

or just a starting point

[sullen fern]

regular, z, classic, and legendary medals

[worthy stirrup]

i dont understand sorry, its a boss blind, how do i add the context part

[red flower]

blinds can have a calculate function like jokers now

[sullen fern]

of course, when you unlock a legendary yo-kai, you also unlock their medal.

[worthy stirrup]

oh

ill try that rq

[red flower]

if you return key = ... in loc_vars it should change descriptions, is that what you mean?

[sullen fern]

eg. unlcoking spoilerina nets you her medal, and it can appear in medal packs from now on

of course, they’re harder to find than regular medals (like, soul card odds maybe)

[worthy stirrup]

how can i force a card to act as if its glass with a boss blind

[shut crater]

quantum enhancements probably? idk how those work though

[worthy stirrup]

quantum...

[quartz ravine]

That llooks really cool

[worthy stirrup]

oh

its not as scary as i thought it would be

[shut crater]

this could very well be the blind leading the blind though

[red flower]

i would personally destroy the card normally with context.destroy_card but hook SMODS.shatters to make it do the shatter

[worthy stirrup]

heh... blind... boss blind
[please laugh]

[shut crater]

I guess that depends on if you want the xmult or not

[shut crater]

:wheeze:

[worthy stirrup]

thank you

[red flower]

you can also do the xmult with calculate

[worthy stirrup]

the played cards are G.cards right?

[red flower]

G.playing_cards

[worthy stirrup]

i thought that was the entire deck

[red flower]

oh played cards sorry

[shut crater]

context.scoring_hand

er

context.full_hand

[red flower]

G.play.cards or that ^

[worthy stirrup]

cool, now i gotta find out how to do chances with the seed

[runic frigate]

using the debug mod is there a way to get planet levels?

[shut crater]

spawn in a bunch of planets

(hover in collection and press 3)

is there a way to set the back sprite of a card?

[runic frigate]

thanks

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/40e7f90f4a6b0e8db15fed29f43f08d6b2e34065/src/card_ui.lua#L503

[worthy stirrup]

just to check, am i doing this right?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.check_enhancement then
    for i, card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
      if pseudorandom('Flote') < 1/4 then
        SMODS.shatters(card)
      end
    end
  end
end,

[red flower]

no i don't think that makes sense

I don't know how check_enhancement works but probably not like that
and SMODS.shatters just checks if a card shatters or not, it doesn't break it

you also don't want to shatter a card manually during calculation

[worthy stirrup]

how should i shatter a card then

[red flower]

(but if you have to shatter a card outside of calculation do card:shatter() )

[red flower]

use context.destroy_card and hook SMODS.shatters to return true when the card is played during the blind

OR make it do the quantum enhancement calculation thing maybe, but one or the other

[worthy stirrup]

i probably misunderstood fully but ive got this now

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.destroy_card then
    for i, card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
      if pseudorandom('Flote') < 1/4 then
        destroy_card = card + destroy_card
      end 
    end
  end
end,
}

[red flower]

closer

[worthy stirrup]

wait, destroy card should be a list

but im just adding

[red flower]

no
to destroy a card in destroy_card you need to return { remove = true }

[worthy stirrup]

hm, it seems to also destroy non played cards

how do i fix that

[red flower]

context.cardarea == G.play

you also should remove the G.play.cards loop

[worthy stirrup]

oh

so now its this?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
      if pseudorandom('Flote') < 1/4 then
        return { remove = true}
      end 
    end
end,
}

it works, thanks

[hollow marsh]

is there any easy way to modify the exisiting deck skins? I'm trying to recolor their suits

[tired kestrel]

By the way when doing desctiptions, what were the colors?

like hand size or tags?

[wintry solar]

I am in the middle of adding proper destruction tools for cards

[tired kestrel]

Oh.

[hasty mist]

what is wrong here

[red flower]

you can just do context.scoring_name instead of get_poker_hand_info

but what's not working exactly

[hasty mist]

context.scoring_name is what i tried originally but it didnt work

it's supposed to be setting the played poker hand's chips and mult to the chips and mult during scoring right before they're multiplied together

[red flower]

and it's not doing that?

[hasty mist]

nope

[chrome widget]

Really confused right now but somehow I've broken the vanilla loc_vars in generate_ui for wheel of fortune and im not really sure how....?

[lofty sand]

this joker works in the sense that it copies the ability of any joker that is compatible with blueprint, but the sell cost penalty seems to not apply to some jokers seemingly arbitrarily. It works with scaling jokers, scoring jokers, and retriggers seemingly fine, even stuff like baron and mime. However, it for some reason it doesn't work with jokers including burnt joker, beginning of round abilities like certificate, blind select abilities like cartomancer, and other abilities like hallucination. does anyone know what might be going on or how I can fix it? lmk if you'd like to see a clip of other examples, or if you'd like to see the code

[red flower]

just tried this with scoring_name and it worked for me

[sullen fern]

this is the undiscovered version btw

[chrome widget]

So SMODS.Center:take_ownership() accepts a key, a table of values to replace, and then an argument for whether it should be silent. I have this contextual table that adds either a change to the loc_text, a change to the atlas/badge, or both. But for some reason doing this breaks the description even though I haven't changed the name of the center which is what vanilla uses to determine the vars for consumeables

if skins or queer then
    local build_table = {}

    if queer then
        build_table.loc_txt = {
            ['en-us'] = {
                name = "The Wheel of Fortune",
                text = {
                    "{C:green}#1# in #2#{} chance to add",
                    "{C:dark_edition}Foil{}, {C:dark_edition}Holographic{}, or",
                    "{C:dark_edition}Queer{} edition to",
                    "a random {C:attention}Joker"
                }
            }
        }
    end

    if skins then
        build_table.atlas = 'fnwk_tarotreskins'
        build_table.set_badges = function(self, card, badges)
            badges[#badges+1] = FnwkDynamicBadge('jojopolis')
        end
    end

    SMODS.Consumable:take_ownership('c_wheel_of_fortune', build_table, true)
end```

[hasty mist]

specifically like this?

[red flower]

yes exactly that

[hasty mist]

why does it not work for me then

[wintry solar]

What do you mean by it doesn’t work

[hasty mist]

heres the full joker code

[chrome widget]

???? Are you not able to use loc_txt and localization files simultaneously???

Or is there something else weird going on that's changing the name of it behind the scenes?

[final monolith]

It took me too long to understand the queer joke lol

[chrome widget]

Lmao yeah. Point being, it is applying the new description, the new art, and the new badge, but it's also seemingly changing something else when I was under the impression that :take_ownership() only changes the fields you actively give it

Aura for example is also changed in its loc_txt and doesn't break?

[red flower]

so if you play a pair and after all the calculations it ends up as 100 * 20 you want the pair's base chips and mult to be 100 and 20, right?

[hasty mist]

yes

[red flower]

yeah it does that for me

[hasty mist]

but this code does not modify the hands at all

what could possibly be causing this not to work

[wintry solar]

Do note that if you then change the level of the hand it will undo that

[hasty mist]

great

ill worry about that later

i know some mods get around that so i can just look at how they do it

but i still want to get this to work

[red flower]

yeah i just have this idk

[hasty mist]

literally exactly what i did

what the fuck is wrong

[tired kestrel]

Before I go to bed I've actually managed to do this:

[wintry solar]

What’s your smods version

[red flower]

do you have talisman installed

[hasty mist]

1.0.0~BETA-0509c-STEAMODDED but it also includes aikoyori's font pr that hasn't been merged yet

[hasty mist]

yes

[red flower]

maybe cryptid or talisman messes with that

with the big num levels

[faint yacht]

Are you actually updating the base mult or the total mult?

G.GAME.hands[hand].l_chips = to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].l_chips) + to_big(lchips)
G.GAME.hands[hand].l_mult = to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].l_mult) + to_big(lmult)
G.GAME.hands[hand].mult = math.max(to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].s_mult) + to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].l_mult)*(to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].level) - to_big(1)), to_big(1))
G.GAME.hands[hand].chips = math.max(to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].s_chips) + to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].l_chips)*(to_big(G.GAME.hands[hand].level) - to_big(1)), to_big(0))

[hasty mist]

im trying to update the base mult

[faint yacht]

s_mult & s_chips, then.

Just remember to also update the "total" mult, counting the levels' l_mult & l_chips with the changed s_mult & s_chips.

[hasty mist]

hold on

let me try using to_big

okay that crashed

hold on

[hasty mist]

so i should do all of this?

[wintry solar]

No

That’s not what you’re trying to do

[hasty mist]

okay

let me think about this

[wintry solar]

You must have something else thats either stopping your joker from triggering or is resetting the hand score

Have you thrown a print in your calculate to make sure it’s happening?

[hasty mist]

im trying to see if i can use to_big

[hard mica]

is this possible?

[hasty mist]

print function activates

i think

doesnt seem to activate on the final scoring step though

it shows the second i play a hand

unsure if that matters at all

[wintry solar]

Yeah that’s fine

What’s your mod list?

[hasty mist]

oh hold on

i disabled everything except the necessary mods and it works

seems to be some sort of mod conflict

troubleshooting rn

also you seem to be incorrect

leveling up the hand does not reset it

found the culprit

[wintry solar]

Did you change it to s_mult?

[hasty mist]

i didn't

[eager oak]

So i've never ever modded balatro before, and i had this idea for a mod
Basically a Joker, that has a 1 in 4 chance to take a dollar from you in exchange for a X5 multiplier
is that possible?

[wintry solar]

Levelling up should 100% reset it unless something is modifying the level up function

[spice wadi]

seems possible to me

[hasty mist]

well luckily for me something does seem to be doing that

probably cryptid if i were to guess

which is a dependency for my mod anyways

what 😭

but yeah the culprit for the code not working seems to be entropy

already brought it up with ruby

once thats fixed it should work just fine

ty for the help yall

not the first time entropy has interfered with my code

[sullen fern]

its not supposed to look like that......

[heady siren]

Is it possible to change the alpha / transparency of a sprite on the fly?

I wanna make this look a little bit more polished

[sullen fern]

how do i fix this

[old orbit]

hi chat i'm working on my first modded joker and am wondering if there's anything blatantly off here, as well as if I can make it so that if the chips value is negative it'll appear as "5 - 3i" instead of "5 + -3i" or something

    key = 'euler',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Euler',
        text = {
            "Increases Mult and Chips",
            "based on this value:",

    atlas = 'ModdedVanilla',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    cost = 6,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.chips } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        --TODO: Check the scored card. 
        -- If it's a Face, increase chips by 1. 
        -- If it's an Ace, multiply chips by negative 1 and swap chips and mult. 
        -- Otherwise, decrease chips by 1.
        -- After checking each scored card, increase mult by mult and chips by chips.

also hoping it's a relatively balanced joker, but fine with it being pushed. 🤷.

[wintry solar]

These sound effects are 👌

[heady siren]

You're missing a comma on the third line of your text table

[old orbit]

thanks

i'm wondering if the wording feels coherent too, get that it isn't following convention but nothing about this is

[heady siren]

Gotta keep track of those commas

I need to know how to make it not just pop out of existence ;~;

[old orbit]

i like that it's kind of a jumpscare

[heady siren]

But it just stops existing instead of gradually fading out, that's the issue

[heady siren]

Benjamin of the deca variety

[red flower]

you might be defining the atlas size wrong

[red flower]

whats the size of each sprite is it 71x71?

[sullen fern]

yeah all of them are 71x71

[red flower]

hmm

[scarlet thorn]

it could be the card area

or whatever is storing them

how is it defined?

[sullen fern]

what do you mean byt hat

[scarlet thorn]

What are you storing the medals in

[sullen fern]

they're consumables.

[scarlet thorn]

Then yea, im pretty sure the area is whats stretching them

[sullen fern]

fuck.

[scarlet thorn]

set display_size and pixel_size on them

display_size = {x=71, y=71},
pixel_size = {x=71, y=71},```

[sullen fern]

that didnt work

that straight up changed nothing

[scarlet thorn]

Did you define it on the consumables themself or the atlas. you need it on the consumables

[sullen fern]

the consumables

[scarlet thorn]

show

[scarlet thorn]

mmm

[red flower]

delete display_size and pixel_size?

[scarlet thorn]

I guess the only other solution is make the sprites 71x95, but not use the bottom part

[remote scarab]

Wait why in atlas its px/py instead of x/y ?

[scarlet thorn]

Its how vanilla does stickers and seals

[red flower]

oh sorry i missed the other message

[red flower]

try setting the y in display_size to 45

[scarlet thorn]

??

[red flower]

i want to see something

[sullen fern]

nothing happened

[hallow forge]

look at Square Joker code

[red flower]

yeah that's what i was worried about

[hallow forge]

and us elovely patches to make it work

that's how i made grim skills smaller than standard

[sullen fern]

another lovely patch, eh?

[hallow forge]

lovely patches are amazing

i use them all the time

[scarlet thorn]

The only other way you can do this is make the atlas 71x95 and then use the dispay/pixel size

[hallow forge]

don't do this

[scarlet thorn]

Its legit how vanilla does it fym

[hallow forge]

it's bad practive and makes the hitbox too large

[scarlet thorn]

.

[hallow forge]

the yo-kai medals are their own objects

seals an stickers go onto cards

different things

[scarlet thorn]

"Makes the hitbox too large" Thats what display_size and pixel_size fixes

[red flower]

but half joker does it and that's fine?

[hallow forge]

of those actually work?

last time i tried that it did nothing

[red flower]

it does

[scarlet thorn]

yea it works

[wintry solar]

Display and pixel size take h and w, not x and y

[eager oak]

In that case how should i go about it?

[red flower]

oh yeah

[scarlet thorn]

mmmmm

[scarlet spire]

seals and stickers do that because they're specifically meant to be overlaid onto cards of the same size, not the case for completely unique objects of a specific size like blind chips, blinds, tags, etc

[sullen fern]

still doesn't change jack shit

[scarlet thorn]

Then do this

[spice wadi]

Well firstly you should learn the basics of modding, Steammodded (the mod loader) has a good wiki
Then honestly just look at how the base game does things
You can look at the source code by opening the balatro executable with winrar or similar
Then look for things with chance abilities and abilities that take away money like the rental sticker

[scarlet thorn]

Just have blank space at the bottom

[wintry solar]

Yeah I think the atlas is likely the issue

[shut crater]

vanillaRemade > balatro.exe
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

[scarlet spire]

yeah if this is a custom consumable type I guess they're always expecting a card-sized object, so the atlas will always take whatever size the sprites are and stretch them out to the size of the card

[scarlet thorn]

Are they taller than the sprite? Like if you hover into the blank, does it hover the card

[sullen fern]

nope

[hallow forge]

nice

[scarlet thorn]

sick

it takes a community to create a balatro mod 👍

[scarlet spire]

it would be nice if custom consumable types could have default scaling options where you can set how big the consumable type is meant to be

unless it was added recently, I don't think undiscovered sprites let you change their size yet, so a consumable type that is smaller than the average card will still have a fully-sized undiscovered sprite

[spice wadi]

Didn't know that contained so much, ty

[red flower]

astra did a lot of work

[sullen fern]

i may be a bit forgetful but i do have to take ownership of a specific modded joker in order to add it to a custom object type, right?

[red flower]

no, you can add it directly to the objecttype

[sullen fern]

even if the mod that the joker is from isn’t loaded?

[red flower]

yeah you don't use take_ownership for that at all

but I don't know if you can add it to cards directly or if you need to inject it after tho

im guessing you need to inject it after

[digital sun]

the wiki doesnt seem to tell people all the functions and stuff where would i find that

[red flower]

if you mean all the vanilla functions then there's no place for that, you need to read the game's code/other mods' code/ ask here

[digital sun]

dang,,

[sullen fern]

lets see if i can

[heady siren]

Bump [=

[shut crater]

shaders probably

[haughty cargo]

I need help with UI programming, I am making a config page for my mod, but it isn't updating the value with what I input, and is also shifting to the right when I put the value into the text box
edit: The value is being nil for some reasom

do I need to do anything special to get a number value out of it?

[unreal cosmos]

would this joker work out

[haughty cargo]

doesn't seem great since it's a net of $2/ante, and that's not including the loss of interest money, so almost certainly wouldn't be an uncommon IMO

maybe making it -4, 5, 10 could be better

but maybe a bit more to be uncommon, as there is the golden joker which is +4/blind (12/ante) and is only a common

[haughty cargo]

could be nice, as scaling is good, but seems very similar to rocket but with a dollar subtraction on small and big blinds

[heady siren]

Pierogi Joker

[hybrid shadow]

does this potentially put people in debt

[haughty cargo]

it could, yes

I assume

[hybrid shadow]

anyway how do i have a joker check if the entire played hand is face cards (separately, i also need a joker to check if the entire hand is Hearts)

[daring fern]

local faces = true
for k, v in pairs(G.play.cards) do
    if not v:is_face() then
        faces = false
        break
    end
end
if faces then
    --- do things
end

[heady siren]

Better than what I was going to suggest

[daring fern]

local hearts = true
for k, v in pairs(G.play.cards) do
    if not v:is_suit("Hearts") then
        hearts = false
        break
    end
end
if hearts then
    --- do things
end

[hybrid shadow]

do these just go into the code of the jokers?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[digital sun]

how do you get the number of jokers the player has

[daring fern]

#G.jokers.cards

[digital sun]

ohhh thats what hashtag does

[hybrid shadow]

like this?

[heady siren]

# originally meant number, so

[daring fern]

No, because your calculate function seems to be missing an end.

[hybrid shadow]

after the end for the return, right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hybrid shadow]

just fixed that

[unreal cosmos]

how do you make text orange in balaui

?

[spice wadi]

Can you explain more please
Because that looks like the correct way of making text orange

[unreal cosmos]

it's not orange

[spice wadi]

Oh

I mean

[hybrid shadow]

C:attention

[spice wadi]

I think using C:attention is what is usually done for orange text

[lofty sand]

Hey, if I have a copy effect joker, what is a good way to check for when a copied ability is triggered, specifically from the copy effect joker?

[wheat pulsar]

hi i use the context.pre_discard to search pairs of cards and then mark the cards, then in a context.discard y destroy the cards but after that the game doesnt update the space of the deck

[daring fern]

Put the thing you want in the deepest effect.func?

[lofty sand]

wym

[daring fern]

Because the func is run when the return activates.

[lofty sand]

sure, but what if it's a joker that doesn't return a table, like burnt joker, or cartomancer, or certificate, hallucination, etc

[unreal cosmos]

should this be uncommon?

[daring fern]

You can't check then I don't think.

[unreal cosmos]

knockoff yorick gains +1 chip

if that was unclear

[worthy stirrup]

Thank you

[brisk rose]

The continuation of the card exporter thing strmnn is working on and I'm helping with parts of

[unreal cosmos]

is common too unbalanced?

[spice wadi]

None of the effects feel that strong but they also really vary in terms of usefulness
That probably makes it fine as a common

[midnight coyote]

‘Shader uniform ‘bleached’ does not exist. a common error is to define and not use the variable’

is it because i’m using ‘astropulvis_bleached’ rather than just ‘bleached’?

[quartz ravine]

Either my reading comprehension is...not so great or The Height is bugged

[quartz ravine]

The shader name has to also be an external variable in the shader, which also must be used in the primary shader effect() function

[midnight coyote]

can i provide the shader code

[hybrid shadow]

do i need to re-use this entire thing if another joker is also meant to use the same requirement

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

this consumable of mine is egregiously broken, how do i make it so it can specifically target consumables, not be stupidly common (soul_rate seems to not be working?) and make it so it can only appear after ante 8 (in_pool function isnt working)

[digital sun]

heres the function for a joker that randomly triggers another joker. i want to make it so that when it triggers itself, you get x1.25 mult. i think whats wrong is that its not detecting that its triggering itself, but i may be wrong. can someon help?

[daring fern]

That is the most efficient way.

[midnight coyote]

like.. this is all correct

but

im just

confused

it looks fine, at least

[daring fern]

card not self and please use pseudorandom instead of math.random

[digital sun]

whats the difference

between pseudorandom and math.random

[daring fern]

pseudorandom is the same across seeds.

[quartz ravine]

Wow it looks AWESOME

just name the file bleached.fs and it will work perfectly

[midnight coyote]

its for sure not supposed to do that

[midnight coyote]

okay so what the fuck then

[quartz ravine]

I don't know, it looks freaking dope dude

[brisk rose]

yeah, the shader really needs its name as a uniform

not having that working made the thing I was doing take forever to fix

lol

[quartz ravine]

laucnh balatro and then run watch shader pathto/bleached.fs, it should work.

[midnight coyote]

why do i have to do that

do i have to do this every time

[hasty mist]

ok this consumable is so broken i genuinely need to rewrite it from scratch

[quartz ravine]

No, I mean that is how I loaded your shader just fine. It's a cool command you can use within DebugPlus to monitor a file for changes and reapply them in real time. Works great for shaders

[midnight coyote]

im so confused as to why it currently is not loading though

[quartz ravine]

Hey, @midnight coyote can you show me how you're loading the shader? that's probably the error

[midnight coyote]

i put the SMODS.Shader code into a shaders.lua file into modules/init, which is loaded before any content ever is

[quartz ravine]

I have my shaders in Modfolder\assets\shaders

then I load them like this

SMODS.Shader({ key = 'etherOverdrive', path = 'etherOverdrive.fs' })

Be sure your shader file is in the same place, and again that it has an extern that matches the file name. The file you sent me worked fine when I put it in the right spot

[midnight coyote]

maybe its the inital parenthesis im missing

[hollow locust]

Hey uh
could one of you guys help me out with an SMODS.Suit thing

I made a thread earlier, but got no input

#1373359082613903380 message

[midnight coyote]

i’m starting to think this game literally just hates me

[midnight coyote]

okay better solution

i’m gonna push this upstream

i’m just. so stumped

wtf

[hasty mist]

how do i make it so a consumable can be used on other consumables

specifically

able to highlight one consumable in a pack, or in the tray

and use it on it

with the can_use function

[daring fern]

You could check if the area of the highlighted is in G.consumeables or G.pack_cards and check if card.ability.consumeable?

[midnight coyote]

can you even select 2 consumables at once?

[daring fern]

Not normally I don't think.

[digital sun]

how do i use pseudorandom?
i think im using it wrong

[hasty mist]

this is what i was doing originally but its extremely broken

[daring fern]

pseudorandom("seed", min, max)

[digital sun]

how do you get the seed

or can you just put any number

[daring fern]

You just put a string.

[hybrid shadow]

how do i have a joker destroy the played card

[digital sun]

thanks you

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
    return {remove = true}
end

[next timber]

how come removing the tag ui element makes the dark background move onto the "or" instead of the skip button??? (the run button is the skip button i just changed the localisation)

[rapid stag]

chat, let's say i want to use a table like a queue (i.e. like a C# queue). how?

[hasty mist]

this spectral has been absolutely driving me insane for ages

[hybrid shadow]

so would i just add those extra contexts and extra bit in the return to this

[rapid stag]

so say i want to have a table that only ever has 5 elements. and when a sixth element is added,

element 1 = element 2
element 2 = element 3
element 3 = element 4
element 4 = element 5
element 5 = new sixth element

and it just rotates the elements up every time a new one is added

[daring fern]

Insert the new element at the end and remove the first one?

[brisk rose]

why does git do the identity check after trying to commit?

[rapid stag]

is it possible to remove at a position?
table.remove(tableName, 1)?

[daring fern]

Yes, that's literally what table.remove does.

[rapid stag]

ahhh

[brisk rose]

it's... annoying to have to wait to be told again the commands to set up my identity variables on a new "device"

[daring fern]

No, it needs to be outside of any other context checks.

[midnight coyote]

could it be the fact that the folder inside the mod directory in AppData is a symlink to the actual mod folder in my home dir

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how i could open a booster pack after a blind is defeated automatically? (through a joker)

[hybrid shadow]

where should i put it in the code then

because i want it to only destroy the played card when the other contexts (except i guess context.joker_main) are true

[daring fern]

You have to do it in context.destroy_card elsewise there will be issues.

[midnight coyote]

nope wasnt it

UGGHGHHH

this fucking shader vro

[hybrid shadow]

won't it just destroy the card every time then?

[plain apex]

if nil is good wheres nil2
nil2:

[wind steppe]

what are you doing that can create nil2

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[red flower]

check how the tags do it

[sullen fern]

there’s no doubt about it, i’m gonna have to think of ideas for, a whole lotta yo-kai medals

[plain apex]

rank things with very bad loc_vars lol

[hybrid shadow]

if the conditions for the joker's upgrading (which is in the screenshot) are met then the joker destroys the played card

[daring fern]

Check for the same conditions in context.destroy_card and return {remove = true} if true elsewise don't.

[sullen fern]

some ideas may or may not be original but, whatever.

[hybrid shadow]

would the conditions be in the if [code] then part of the statement?

[daring fern]

Yes?

[wild escarp]

Do I at least have the right idea here? Trying to make a blind that disallows any hands of one rank or suit and I get an error "Attempt to index fiel "poker_hand" a nil value (just doing this to get used to blinds first).

debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
    if next(self.poker_hands['Flush']) and not self.disabled then
        return true
    end
end

[daring fern]

self.poker_hands?

[wild escarp]

idk what else to do man, I'm just clueless.

[heady siren]

I have my own deck skin, and I've made a version of it where hearts / diamonds and spades / clubs have the same colors for smeared joker, how would I go about replacing the atlas or atlas path on the fly to make it update in real time, if that's even possible?

[daring fern]

I'm assuming that hand is the highlighted cards so try getting a flush on those.

[heady siren]

I've tried taking ownership of my own atlases like the log yelled at me to do, but it just makes the game crash trying to find the current mod

[midnight coyote]

ran tree on my mod dir

[hasty mist]

could you show how exactly

[primal robin]

Me:

[rapid stag]

i forget, is it G.P_CENTERS.<JOKER KEY>.unlocked or G.P_CENTERS.<JOKER KEY>.locked?

[primal robin]

discovered

[rapid stag]

i'm not talking about discovered

i'm talking about locked

it's a separate thing

[primal robin]

unlocked

[rapid stag]

although i guess if a joker is discovered, it's also not locked

[digital sun]

is there a way to turn the cards face down like in the boss blinds? i remember the game didnt like it when i tried to debuff cards outside of a blind

[daring fern]

if #G.consumeables.highlighted + ((G.pack_cards and G.pack_cards.highlighted[1] and G.pack_cards.highlighted[1].ability.consumeable and #G.pack_cards.highlighted) or 0) == 2 then
    return true
end
```?

[wild escarp]

Now I've got this, which at least doesn't crash, but it disables any hand. What should I be checking to only disable those specific hands?

debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
    if next(hand['High Card']) or next(hand['Pair']) and not self.disabled then
        return true
    end
end

[desert wind]

hi guys, im trying to make my first mod for balatro and the first joker i want to add to the game is bascially diet soda but instead of giving you a double tag when you sell it, it gives you a negative tag when a blind is selected but i have this issue where it just doesnt work lol. any halp woiuld be greatly appreciated. also on a side note im not very experienced in lua

[hasty mist]

tysm!!!

[daring fern]

It's context.setting_blind

[wild escarp]

I've heard people talk about calculate functions for blinds, but idk if/how to use it here.

[daring fern]

You should be checking handname not hand

[desert wind]

tysm

[wild escarp]

Just replacing hand with handname makes a different crash, I'm guessing it should be handname == ' '?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wild escarp]

Thank you!

[hasty mist]

how do i make it so i can select a card from a booster pack into the consumable slot

[sturdy compass]

You have to do some patch shenannigans

[hasty mist]

fuck

[sturdy compass]

yeah lmao

[sullen fern]

legendary yo-kai and their medals

[wild escarp]

Is it possible to have odds show up modified by oops on a boss blind?

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how to get the booster pack to open instead of just sitting in the center of my screen? calculate function:

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            local key = 'p_para_foodpack'
            local card = Card(
                G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w / 2 - G.CARD_W * 1.27 / 2,
                G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h / 2 - G.CARD_H * 1.27 / 2,
                G.CARD_W * 1.27,
                G.CARD_H * 1.27,
                G.P_CARDS.empty,
                G.P_CENTERS[key],
                { bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true }
                )
            card.cost = 0
            card:start_materialize()
        end
    end

[shut crater]

I think the wheel does this?

[wild escarp]

I mean, the text of a boss blind. Not sure what wheel has to do with that.

[shut crater]

the boss blind, The Wheel, does this

[desert wind]

for the sprites of jokers do they have to be in the same png file or is there a way to have multiple png files?

[wild escarp]

Ah, in game blind code is kind of annoying to implement, I'll try though.

[wind steppe]

theres a way to do this but i dont know how

[shut crater]

you can do separate, just make multiple atlases

[desert wind]

thank you

[gusty iron]

Very stupid deck idea i had:

Imaginary Deck

Start off with 26 normal cards, [6 Spades, 6 Hearts, 7 Clubs, 7 Diaminds]
and 26 imaginary cards [7 spades, 7 Hearts, 6 Clubs, 6 Diamonds]

And add ichips, and imult.

Thd final chip score calculation is:

(ChipsxMult)x(iChipsxiMult)

Would this somehow be possible

[daring fern]

I think you could just do it how you would any other object though with steamodded.

[wind steppe]

how do i make the booster pack here open

[daring fern]

Try looking at Turquoise Tornado

[wind steppe]

from cryptid

[wild escarp]

Will do.

[remote scarab]

I simply cannot get this sound file to work

[daring fern]

How lag inducing would All jokers get duplicated when boss blind is defeated be?

[wind steppe]

probably not very unless you have cryptid (which is lag-inducing on its own tbh)

[daring fern]

This is for overpowered speculo.

Which you would have to have cryptid to use.

[wind steppe]

almost certainly crash the game within five antes

[brisk rose]

mostly because balatro doesn't use all your ram? It doesn't seem to know how

probably a love2d abstraction thing

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how to get the booster pack here to open instead of just sitting in the center of my screen? calculate function:

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            local key = 'p_para_foodpack'
            local card = Card(
                G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w / 2 - G.CARD_W * 1.27 / 2,
                G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h / 2 - G.CARD_H * 1.27 / 2,
                G.CARD_W * 1.27,
                G.CARD_H * 1.27,
                G.P_CARDS.empty,
                G.P_CENTERS[key],
                { bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true }
                )
            card.cost = 0
            card:start_materialize()
        end
    end

[daring fern]

Why are you directly creating the card manually instead of using create_card or SMODS.create_card or SMODS.add_card?

[wild escarp]

Damn, cryptid code is a mess to look through.

[red flower]

i know, right

[wind steppe]

this was from cryptid's loss tag (when i asked how to create a booster pack in a joker someone said to check how tags do it_

apparently cryptid is just a mess

[red flower]

in my defense I never said check cryptid

[wind steppe]

true

[red flower]

anyway youre missing this part of the code

[hasty mist]

true

[rugged helm]

is there a sprite/animation template for boss blinds?

[daring fern]

#1224362333208444989 message ?

[rugged helm]

🔥

ttyty

[wild escarp]

Soo... properly displaying odds on a blind. Game code is another world, and Cryptid is a mess, is there any decent reference material?

[red flower]

what's the issue?

[daring fern]

Why did this happen?:

[wind steppe]

floating point

numbers are very accurate approximations

[red flower]

3.14 ≈ 4

[wild escarp]

loc_vars displays blind text properly in the collection, with oops modifying odds. collection_loc_vars displays properly in a run, however, oops doesn't modify that number.

[wind steppe]

why does this crash

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            SMODS.create_card({set = "Booster", key = "foodpack"})
        end
    end

I've opened the pack separately so it's not that

[daring fern]

You need to do p_modprefix_key I think.

[red flower]

makes sense, doesn't sound like something you can solve without patching stuff

[wild escarp]

Yeah, kind of figured. Seems like cryptid made a whole function to check for oops, and then modify the text if you have oops. I'm not doing all that, so it'll have to do I guess.

[wind steppe]

now we're back to packs spawning but not opening

[red flower]

did you do the use_card thing

[wind steppe]

the what

[red flower]

this

[shut crater]

I'm in an interesting situation where I think my loc_vars is causing infinite recursion on the info_queue and I'm not sure how to prevent it

[red flower]

if not card.fake_card

[shut crater]

is that a thing

[red flower]

yes

i had that problem with two cards that referenced each other

[shut crater]

how do you know everything

[red flower]

i just know what i know

[hasty mist]

theyre the goat

[wind steppe]

this just freezes the game after a boss blind is defeated

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            SMODS.create_card({set = "Booster", key = "p_para_foodpack"})
            G.FUNCS.use_card({ config = { ref_table = card } })
        end
    end

[red flower]

some of the other stuff in that code might be important

[daring fern]

Do ```lua
local booster = SMODS.create_card({set = "Booster", key = "p_para_foodpack"})
G.FUNCS.use_card({ config = { ref_table = booster } })

[red flower]

oh yeah didnt notice that

[pearl jacinth]

what happened

what is s

[shut crater]

a number, apparently

[pearl jacinth]

these single letter variables are hard to debug

[shut crater]

what's going on on line 114 of text.lua

or...1812 of misc_functions.lua

[scarlet thorn]

something

[pearl jacinth]

i think i solved it

[rapid stag]

question - if i want to use poll_edition() to apply an edition, do i feed its output into a set_edition() or do i use it as i would set_edition()?

[scarlet thorn]

feed

[pearl jacinth]

nevermind i didn't

[wild escarp]

Is there something to check if a card has been retriggered?

[pearl jacinth]

if "{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult" then why does the text appear black

[red flower]

your localization is cursed

[daring fern]

No.

[wild escarp]

That makes things difficult/impossible.

[daring fern]

What effect are you looking for?

[pearl jacinth]

is there anything wrong with this

[wild escarp]

I'm trying to make a blind that does -10 chips whenever a card is retriggered.

[red flower]

not that i can see, where is this

[wind steppe]

its not supposed to do this i think https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C8gaNYqAzPQdqaPaxUNOGxMMnbwnEf2Z/view?usp=drive_link

[hybrid shadow]

what's wrong with these lines (it pointed me to what's inside the return)

[daring fern]

and context.main_eval?

[daring fern]

Put the mult change outside the return.

[pearl jacinth]

{"{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult", "Multiplies by {X:mult,C:white}X#2#{}", "at the end of round"}

[analog spoke]

does anyone have code that replicates the functionality of the Negative edition? In the same one that VanillaRemade has the jokers and such?

I want to refrence it for an edition's effect I am making

[wind steppe]

the cash out screen goes over the booster pack when it opens now

[red flower]

astra just made a PR for that, you can check that out

[wind steppe]

it does show three items instead of three thousand though

[hybrid shadow]

changes don't go in returns?

[red flower]

looks fine to me idk

[analog spoke]

oooh? mind sending a link pls? :3 I am very interested in this

[daring fern]

No, they don't?

[hybrid shadow]

do you have a space between X:mult, and C:white in your code?

[red flower]

i just merged it to the main vanillaremade :3

[analog spoke]

ahh, ok, I'll check it out then! :3

ahh it is done through a config 😭 that uhh, is not what I was expecting ashjfbsdjbfs, guess I can't use this for refrence with my "-reroll cost" idea bsdjfbsfj

[red flower]

you can use on_apply and on_remove

[analog spoke]

ahh, ok, last time I tried it didn't work, but I'll try again, thank you! I shall be back then, soon, lol

wait a sec, my temporary effects I used as placeholders aren't even working? whuh?!

😭 I is so bad at this abfsdhbsjd omg

[hollow locust]

Is there a way to add a specific Rank card to a suit? i.e. I want to add a 3.5 Rank to only one suit

[analog spoke]

I messed something up here ;-; lol

[rapid stag]

is there a way to add two 1D tables together?
like say i have a table of strings and another table of strings and i want to concatenate them

[red flower]

are they both integer indexed lists?

[rapid stag]

yes!

[red flower]

can i see the code

[rapid stag]

oh merge_lists will just work, ok

[analog spoke]

I have another edition too which is basically a copy of this one atm, for testing purposes

[red flower]

replace self for card

where there are yellow lines

[hardy viper]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) no?

[analog spoke]

ahh okey

[hardy viper]

unintuitive

[analog spoke]

fhgjfhgvh

[red flower]

hmm it's probably card.ability instead of card.config but I've never done editions

[analog spoke]

mhhh

hmm, let me check the editions in vanilla remade rq

[red flower]

(or just hardcode it to 2 if that doesn't work :3)

[analog spoke]

card.edition.x_mult ahhhhh

[red flower]

that makes sense

[analog spoke]

😭

if this doesn't work either 😭

[midnight coyote]

why does the same damn shader look so different on 2 types of things?? (look at card sharp vs that 2 of spades there)

[red flower]

maybe that's too early and you need to use an event? idk

[rapid stag]

question - if i wanted to hook into the functionality used when the reset profile button is hit, what should i be hooking?

[red flower]

are we doing shenanigans

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how booster pack tags remove the blind select screen

[shut crater]

because of how drawsteps work for playing cards, probably

[midnight coyote]

is there a way to fix it

because this edition is meant for cards

not jokers

[shut crater]

as my Discord status for the last week might indicate, I'm really not the person to ask

[midnight coyote]

i see

[shut crater]

just be aware that playing cards have their parts drawn in two steps

try turning your card to stone and see if the shader is still gross. If that fixes things, then the second drawstep is probably your root cause

[midnight coyote]

alright

[tall wharf]

did someone say shenanigans

🐴

[red flower]

iirc it's because playing cards have a front and a center

while other cards only have a center

[hasty mist]

checking if something is greater than or equal to is >= right

[shut crater]

based on the type of graphical error your shader is probably doing something bad with transparency

[hasty mist]

awesome

[midnight coyote]

that second drawstep is fucked

[tall wharf]

i would say you didn't account for the original transparency

[midnight coyote]

how do i do that

[tall wharf]

in your shader

[midnight coyote]

okay this seems to be a recurring issue

the jokers also don’t have any transparency

[tall wharf]

i think you get the original alpha for it

then you return that

[shut crater]

somewhere in your shader you're overwriting the alpha to become 1

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how booster pack tags remove the blind select screen

[midnight coyote]

i see that

when i clamp the alpha down i set the second value to be 1

or the third i mean

second is 0.7

let me grab the code

no

wrong

vec4 effect(vec4 colour, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords) {

    vec2 uv = (((texture_coords)*(image_details)) - texture_details.xy*texture_details.ba)/texture_details.ba;
    vec4 tex = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
    vec3 color = tex.rgb;
    vec4 final_color = vec4(
                  contrastMatrix(1.5) *
                  saturationMatrix(0.5) *
                  color, clamp(bleached.x,0.7,1.0));

   


    return dissolve_mask(final_color, texture_coords, uv);
}

there

where would i grab the original alpha

tex.a?

[sullen fern]

behold, ortalab compatability.

[midnight coyote]

yup

i think i fixed it? lemme see

damn right i did

thank yall so much

alright

[glad osprey]

being gay is sane, noted

[midnight coyote]

new issue, how do i exclude an edition from being able to be pulled from poll_edition

good news

figured that out too

[sullen fern]

what?

[glad osprey]

joker is called sane joker

activated when no straight

[sullen fern]

oh

[hardy viper]

does this mean being straight is insane

[red flower]

yes

[rustic swallow]

how would i apply a random enhancement to a card when its scored?

[sullen fern]

an idea that popped into my head was to give the ortalab jokers the tribes from yo-kai watch 4 and beyond

but like, fuck that.

that would take a bit too long

[rapid stag]

bump

[midnight coyote]

how do i look for a card's edition

[rapid stag]

card.edition

to see the specific edition,

should first check against nil, because if it doesn't have an edition, it'll be nil and you don't want to try indexing edition if it's nil,

but you can check card.edition.type and it'll be any of 'foil', 'holo', 'polychrome' or 'negative'

so long as, again, edition isn't nil. which it will be if there is no edition

[shut crater]

G.FUNCS.delete_profile, it seems

[midnight coyote]

okay

[quartz ravine]

@tall wharf , how is The Height meant to work? I encountered it earlier today and needed 400 chips to win, but still lost after scoring 8k + chips total

[rapid stag]

did you read the blind description? i'm pretty sure the height requires either exact or slightly below the req

[tall wharf]

i just realised

score round

[midnight coyote]

then this should work? i ended the func too

because it doesnt work

[rapid stag]

type doesn't need the prefix.
but if you want to stay in the habit of using the prefix, do key instead

[midnight coyote]

ah i see, so just bleached?

or astropulvis_bleached?

[rapid stag]

try the latter

[midnight coyote]

alright

[rapid stag]

if that doesn't work, i guess just do the key instead

[tall wharf]

ok basically you're not supposed to score a lot on non final hands

basically

[midnight coyote]

that works

great

[tall wharf]

uh

[midnight coyote]

time to make the hand types that play around the lack of suits

[hasty mist]

why does this read as nil? it's in loc_vars

[quartz ravine]

aH! when I played, the score didn't increase or change at all, not sure if that was expected 🙂

[tall wharf]

huh

[quartz ravine]

Oh I see!

[tall wharf]

you're on latest right

[rapid stag]

am i right in assuming that when it's called, it wipes the profile that is G.focused_profile?

[shut crater]

I have no idea, I just searched the codebase for something that seemed correct

[midnight coyote]

oh boy i sure do love figuring out how tf this works

so for greyscale flushes i just need to check for if every card has no suit

[rustic swallow]

how would i apply a random enhancement to a card when its scored?

[rapid stag]

oooh, i just wrote this myself

[analog spoke]

I never did figure out all the issues here :< even with them being set to plain numbers instead of config vars it didn't work correctly

[tall wharf]

right?

[rapid stag]

you basically want to call :set_ability(SMODS.poll_enhancement({ guaranteed = true }), nil, true) on your target card, at your preferred timing

[analog spoke]

I uhh, I'm kind of tired honestly :< I haven't been doing too well mentally, lol, and dealing with problem after problem like this is kinda bringing me down :< I might take a break for a bit, anfknsdjkfnjsk tho I'm not sure what I'll do instead, as I don't really have anything to do, honestly

[rapid stag]

a quick check confirms that i was right 👍

[rustic swallow]

alright, it worked. thanks!

[hasty mist]

what could be causing this?

i know how complex this code is, hoping theres an easy fix i overlooked or something

[midnight coyote]

chips is a global

dont use chips

[hasty mist]

ah

[midnight coyote]

that may be it

[hasty mist]

so if i change that what in the joker do i have to change as well

[midnight coyote]

nothing , probably

just change the args in the func

[hasty mist]

so all mentions of chips in the function?

[hasty mist]

ok i still get this crash

unless achips is also a global

[midnight coyote]

idk then

[tall wharf]

i really am wondering about the version of my mod you're running because I've been moving functions around

[midnight coyote]

thats what i thought it was

srry

[hasty mist]

damn

😭

im gonna have to wait until tomorrow to fix i think

[digital sun]

whyyy gahh

supposed to be a 1 in 4 chance to destroy the card, and gains x0.25 mult from destroying the card

actually now that i think about it i should probably lower the mult or the chances

but thats a later thing

[midnight coyote]

is hand a table in SMODS.PokerHand?

[open aspen]

hi chat

how can i open multiple instances of balatro easil

easily

[rustic swallow]

you have 2 loc_vars and the last one is the one its using

[digital sun]

ohh i may be stupid

[rustic swallow]

it happened to me aswell

[open aspen]

anyone know?

[digital sun]

i think nucleus co-op works but i havent tested it

ive used it for some other games

it might not have it tho

[open aspen]

okay

ty

[digital sun]

why is my random not randoming

its always upgrading

[rustic swallow]

you should do ```
pseudorandom('rage') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds

to make it work

[digital sun]

ill try

[midnight coyote]

SMODS.PokerHand {
  key = "greyscaleflush",
  mult = 7,
  chips = 50,
  l_mult = 3,
  l_chips = 15,
  example = {
    { 'S_K', true,  edtion = "e_astropulvis_bleached" },  -- King of Spades, does not score
    { 'S_9', true,  edition = "e_astropulvis_bleached" }, -- 9 of Spades, scores
    { 'D_9', true,  enhancement = 'm_stone' },            -- Negative Lucky 9 of Diamonds, scores
    { 'H_6', true,  enhancement = 'm_stone' },            -- 6 of Hearts, does not score
    { 'D_3', false, edition = 'e_astropulvis_bleached' }  -- Red Seal 3 of Diamonds, does not score
  },
  evaluate = function(parts, hand)
    local suit_increment = 0
    for i = 1, #hand do
      if SMODS.has_no_suit(hand[i]) then
        suit_increment = suit_increment + 1
      end
    end
    if suit_increment == 5 then
      return { hand }
    else
      return {}
    end
  end
}

why does this not work?

wait

[rustic swallow]

also you dont need Xmult_mod you just need Xmult

[digital sun]

thank

it work

[rustic swallow]

np

[digital sun]

also what does xmult mod do

[rustic swallow]

i think its just used in the vanilla game

but smods uses Xmult

[digital sun]

ah

[midnight coyote]

??!??

im so

confused

[scarlet thorn]

.

[sullen fern]

hm, cryptid expansion material maybe?

entropy?

[midnight coyote]

this is probably so fucked isnt it

ugh

i wish some mod fucking implemented this

or like

custom hands

i mean

because

i am at a loss here

[scarlet thorn]

whats the prob?

[midnight coyote]

im trying to make a hand type

with 5 suitless cards

and i have'

no idea how to use evaluate

[scarlet thorn]

ive never done a poker hand

lemme see

[hybrid shadow]

are the cards suitless due to an enhancement?

[midnight coyote]

theres stone cards, and an edition called 'bleached'

bleached removes suits

[scarlet thorn]

does is_suit work on them?

or wait nvm

[midnight coyote]

ive been trying SMODS.has_no_suit()

[scarlet thorn]

you have to patch it then

[digital sun]

how do you make it so that you can buy a card anytime kinda like how negatives work
like no matter how full you are on jokers you can get it

[scarlet thorn]

add ur own enhancement there

[midnight coyote]

did thgat

[scarlet thorn]

show

[midnight coyote]

i already hooked the function

function SMODS.has_no_suit(card)
  if card.edition and card.edition.type == "astropulvis_bleached" then
    return true
  end
  if G.GAME.blind then
    if G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == "bl_astropulvis_the_dip" then
      return true
    end
  end
  return smods_has_no_suit_ref(card)
end 

[scarlet thorn]

and whats the poker hand look like?

[hybrid shadow]

cryptid has bulwark which just detects the stone enhancement, maybe your custom hand could just detect if all cards have the edition?

[midnight coyote]

im not checking for the edition though

im checking for the lack of a suit

theres more than one thing that lacks a suit

[midnight coyote]

@scarlet thorn here

[midnight coyote]

just realized

that last card isnt showing as scored in the example

w/e

ill fix it later

i know theres the issue of

ugh

idrk

this is confusing me

im gonna go look at cryptid

where does it define its hands even?

[hybrid shadow]

lib/content.lua

bulwark is right at the top

[midnight coyote]

okay

im gonna modify bulwarp

bulwark

[vast fractal]

why add_mult become a table for some reasom

[scarlet thorn]

I see the problem

[digital sun]

thaknk yo

[scarlet thorn]

talisman?

[vast fractal]

omg, but how make it sure the mod is fine with talisman tho

[scarlet thorn]

@midnight coyote whats ur localization file

[midnight coyote]

just figured out that its totally loc_file

[digital sun]

how do you make a joker destroy a card thats held in your hand

[midnight coyote]

  misc = {
    achievement_descriptions = {},
    achievement_names = {},
    blind_states = {},
    challenge_names = {},
    collabs = {},
    dictionary = {

    },
    high_scores = {},
    labels = {
      astropulvis_bleached = "Bleached"
    },
    poker_hand_descriptions = {
      ['astropulvis_greyscaleflush'] = {
        [1] = "5 Suitless cards."
      }
    },
    poker_hands = {
      ['astropulvis_greyscaleflush'] = "Greyscale Flush"
    },
    quips = {},
    ranks = {},
    suits_plural = {},
    suits_singular = {},
    tutorial = {},
    v_dictionary = {},
    v_text = {}
  }
}

here's the misc table

this should be the part that matters

i looked at bunco for the hands part

idrk what to do

[scarlet thorn]

whats that [1]

for

[midnight coyote]

i do not know

removed it

[shut crater]

it's a way of creating an array (numeric table) with an element at a specific key, which is not necessary since this is a numeric array

[scarlet thorn]

Yea i know. I was mainly asking if it was required to be there.

[midnight coyote]

i dont knowwhats wrong with my loc file

i dont think hands have prefixes

[scarlet thorn]

they do

or well

mod prefix only

[midnight coyote]

yeah i got that

but

why is it

doing this

ugh

[scarlet thorn]

mmm

[proud raptor]

Joker concept

Each round, make a negative copy of this joker
+5 chips, +1 mult

make this and uhhh idk man

[midnight coyote]

you got any ideas

[scarlet thorn]

Something with the text.

...

[rustic swallow]

how would i make two pairs be considered full houses?

with a hook

[midnight coyote]

interesting

[scarlet thorn]

dmd you

[hybrid shadow]

i dont think descriptions are allowed to have periods

[midnight coyote]

didnt fix anything

[hybrid shadow]

i think you also need commas after the end of each description line like "[text]",

[midnight coyote]

added that too

[hybrid shadow]

still not working?

[midnight coyote]

nope

same crash

[hybrid shadow]

whats the crash say

[midnight coyote]

i changed the key of the hand to see if that was the issue

in loc file and lua file for the def

so thats not it

[hybrid shadow]

does switching poker_hands to go first do anything

[midnight coyote]

lemm see

[hybrid shadow]

like moving that section to before the descriptions

[midnight coyote]

nope

[hybrid shadow]

also the } after the description should have a comma after it
