[manic rune]

so yeah, G.GAME.dollars becomes a table

[cursive sentinel]

i put it anywhere in the code above, not necessarily the smods.koker?

(what's talisman?)

[manic rune]

yes, to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end is to ensure that when talisman is not installed, you wont crash

uhhh

how do you not know of it

😭

[daring fern]

The spectral that puts a gold seal on something.

[cursive sentinel]

idk im kinda new, started coding just last month :c

[manic rune]

yeah but its like the most popular lib mod rn

[cursive sentinel]

ahh i dont play mods a lot

[manic rune]

anyways, all it does is basically uncapping numbers

by turning them into tables

-# and making modders suffer from adding talisman compat

somethingcom adding talisman compat is ass and you aint telling me otherwise

🥀

[cursive sentinel]

and do i have to add to_big on every of my variables?

[manic rune]

i mean, depends on the mod i guess??

bsr was absolute ass to work with

[cursive sentinel]

could i watch a code that has it so i can check how it's done in practice?

[manic rune]

to everything thats in a if statement, yeah, just to be sure

[daring fern]

Defining it if it doesn't exist, planet and taking ownership of mr. bones, respectively.

[manic rune]

its only some variables that actually need to_big, but if you dont really know what you are doing then id suggest just using to_big on everything

[cursive sentinel]

</3

[manic rune]

we should probably make a full list of vars that need to_big 🤔

[manic rune]

my localization file alone is almost as long lel

[daring fern]

G.GAME.dollars
G.GAME.hands["hand"].level
G.GAME.chips
G.GAME.blind.chips
hand_chips
mult
``` is all I can remember.

[manic rune]

i think mult, hand_chips (the global vars) too?

[cursive sentinel]

x)

[manic rune]

🤔 not sure

[cursive sentinel]

i do this first then?

[manic rune]

yes

[cursive sentinel]

and then just add to_big(var) to each if containing those types of vars?

[daring fern]

Yes, and you to_big the other number aswell when comparing.

[cursive sentinel]

alrightyyy doing that

and just in the if condition, it doesnt need to contain the to_big within the if too?

[manic rune]

wuh

[cursive sentinel]

like

if to_big(blabla) <= to_big(G.GAME.dollars) then
  to_big(blabla) ?
end

[daring fern]

No.

[cursive sentinel]

i can just call it blabla

[daring fern]

You only need to to_big it when comparing it with a table.

[cursive sentinel]

alright thanks!

do i need for fors?

like here?

ah it's not hands.level

mb

[daring fern]

No.

[cursive sentinel]

well it seems i had only one occurence of these, gg

[strange tiger]

hey, how would i go about making custom card skins?

[daring fern]

For playing cards or other cards?

[hard flume]

Hmm... I really wanted to get the Pikmin Suit Storage working tonight...

[fading geyser]

Hi, I'm hoping to make an alternate version of blueprint, but unsure where to start. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?

[daring fern]

Alternate as in it copies the joker to the left, I'm assuming?

[strange tiger]

for playing cards, like the Friends of Jimbo skins

[fading geyser]

no, something a bit more unique. If it's relevant I'm planning to copy the ability of joker to the right and give it to joker to the left, which I can figure out how to do like baseball card, it's just the blueprint part I'm stuck on

[daring fern]

So you want the joker to the left to copy the joker to the right?

[fading geyser]

yes

I found this in the code, would it be useful?

[daring fern]

No, you would probably use SMODS.blueprint_effect to get the result then use SMODS.calculate_effect to trigger it on the joker on the left?

[fading geyser]

SMODS.buleprint_effect? It's built in?

[daring fern]

Yes, the inputs are SMODS.blueprint_effect(copier, copied_card, context)

[fading geyser]

well, couln't copier be set to G.jokers.cards[i-1]?

[daring fern]

Yes.

It doesn't activate the effect for you though.

[fading geyser]

wdym?

[daring fern]

It calculates the joker you give it based on if it is blueprint compatibility then it gives you the result.

[fading geyser]

ah that makes sense

what would I put in context

[daring fern]

context from calculate.

[fading geyser]

oh yeah, obviously. I can be a bit shortsighted at times 😅

Thanks!

[indigo mesa]

how would i go about making a pokerhand with a modded rank? like how would i check for that rank?

'(mod prefix)_(rank key)'?

[strange tiger]

how btw

[fading geyser]

try it and see

that was my first thought

[indigo mesa]

i tried and it doesnt work

[fading geyser]

welp

[indigo mesa]

also tried with only the key and doesnt work

:(

[fading geyser]

i'm out of ideas

[daring fern]

How did you try it?

[indigo mesa]

lmaoo dw

[indigo mesa]

'(mod prefix)_(rank key)'

[daring fern]

Yes, but where did you check for that.

[indigo mesa]

evaluate = function(parts, hand)
if hand == nil then
return {}
end
if #hand ~= 3 then
return {}
end
local _tick = 0
if hand[1]:get_id()=='idk_G' then
_tick = _tick + 1
end
if hand[2]:get_id()==13 then
_tick = _tick + 1
end
if hand[3]:get_id()=='idk_Y' then
_tick = _tick + 1
end
if _tick == 3 then
return {hand}
end
end
}

[daring fern]

Try checking if card.base.value == name

[indigo mesa]

okay ty :)

[pure salmon]

is there an easy way to make a consumable do that thing that WoF and vouchers do where they get pulled into the center of the screen and send a message

[fading geyser]

Code didn't work 😦 any ideas?

[daring fern]

I meant something like this ```lua
--- my_pos = get joker position
local effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1], G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1], context)
SMODS.calculate_effect(effect, G.jokers.cards[my_pos-1]

Also use card not self

[fading geyser]

alr thx

[cursive sentinel]

question, in here, is there a way to show the list of c.a.e.hands[context.scoring_name]'s true values in like a toolbox (like the info_queue)?

if context.before and context.main_eval then
  card.ability.extra.hands[context.scoring_name] = true
end

[daring fern]

Probably.

[blissful atlas]

anyone know how i can figure out which cards are currently in the shop

[daring fern]

G.shop_vouchers.cards, G.shop_jokers.cards, G.shop_booster.cards

[blissful atlas]

what is the actualy object that returns?

[daring fern]

Every card in those tables is a card in the respective area in the shop?

[blissful atlas]

yeah specifically joker

i wanna make amod that rerolls until specific jokers show up

[daring fern]

G.shop_jokers.cards

[blissful atlas]

also is there a way to hot reload mods

or do i need to rs game each time

[daring fern]

Yes.

[blissful atlas]

sadge

[daring fern]

How does one make a joker move itself?

I looked at handy and it seems I have to move it manually.

[flat sorrel]

"move itself" meaning?

[strange tiger]

Hi again, how would I go about making a mod that adds new playing card skins?

[daring fern]

If I had a blueprint that copied all cards, I would like if it moved to the left of the card it is copying?

[daring fern]

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

[dark roost]

man this is the second time in a row where I reference basegame to copy a function call and I forget to replace the "self" with "card" and it just does nothing.

I love how mods are structured completely differently from the normal game

[midnight coyote]

how would i modify the '6 of spades' text?

[shell timber]

that'd probably need a lovely patch

[midnight coyote]

my idea is if a card is rankless it just says 'Spades'

[flat sorrel]

idk if there's a proper way but I just take the sort_ids of the held jokers, swap them into the order I want, then reassign the sort_ids and call G.jokers:set_ranks()
actually that's because I'm shuffling while pinned, ignore me. can't remember how the basic version is done

[midnight coyote]

or if its suitless it just says '6'

stonecards have

[shell timber]

you should add a mask to the draw so it only shows the suit symbol

[midnight coyote]

hm?

i know what draw is but ive never touched it really

oh i see

add a mask to the sprite draw that hides the number value

[shell timber]

actually that'd probably be more effort than it's worth

[midnight coyote]

okay so i need to modify the game's code to make this text accessible

woo

okay

isnt a lovely patch just search and replace

[shell timber]

uh basically

or "search and put before" or "search and put after"

[midnight coyote]

so if i can find this text i could patch in an accessible way to get to it

tbh this sounds like something i could push into smods if i do it good enough

[strange tiger]

Thank you

[shell timber]

that's not a bad idea, yeah

[midnight coyote]

i could modify whatever function generates the ui to also accept a string that is displayed

so you could in theory just add in whatever string you wanted to

but id also need to maintain compatibility with the base game

so maybe i make it a hook then? check for the presence of the arg and if its there change the text

im not quite sure how the base game does it though, so i should probably look at that

im gonna guess its either in card.lua or ui_definitions.lua

ill worry abt it later

[cyan lagoon]

how do i change the card order in the deck?

hibana does it in aiko mod, but i dont understand how it works

[shell timber]

you could probably meddle with G.deck.cards but idk

[plain apex]

can you get the value of how many cards have been destroyed this run? do they store that anywhere?

[cyan lagoon]

think you have to hook for that if you want "this run" specifically

[plain apex]

damn idk how to hook

[cyan lagoon]

basically you put a function into a local then you overwrite that function and call local

sorta like this

basically you add your code to the function is what you're doing

[smoky isle]

Something of spades

[blissful atlas]

how can i extract joker info from the cards in the shop?

i understand its in shop_jokers.cards but i cant figure out what

how can i run code after shop reroll??
the actual joker calculation occurs in the event inside G.FUNCS.reroll_shop so i cant do this:

local _reroll_shop = G.FUNCS.reroll_shop

function G.FUNCS.reroll_shop(e)
    _reroll_shop(e)

    for k, v in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
        print(v.edition)
    end
end

[pastel remnant]

I'm trying to make a joker (first time doing balatro modding or using lua) that scores based of off the number of cards you play, how would I do that?

I mainly need a way to get the value of the number of cards played

[brazen tusk]

All played cards or scoring ones?

[pastel remnant]

all

like physic

[brazen tusk]

#context.hand maybe? Gimme a sec

Getting on my pc so I can check

[pastel remnant]

thank you

[red flower]

#context.full_hand

[pastel remnant]

ok thank you

now to work out how to do this rest of this

[brazen tusk]

What’s it giving based on that

[pastel remnant]

• mult

it takes the factorial of that number and adds that to the mult

so if u play 5 cards +120 mult

24 if u play 4 cards etc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY I used this tutorial and started of the mod with the example it gives

[lusty bear]

hello , I'm a develloper and I'm interessted into the balatro mod community, is there a documention or something ?

[pastel remnant]

I need to change this I believe

[pastel remnant]

yeah that would be great

[lusty bear]

o so there's not :c

[pastel remnant]

idk

[primal robin]

It is

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

[pastel remnant]

I only just started too

[lusty bear]

a okok

[brazen tusk]

you'll need to do the calc and do +Mult from what you said

[lusty bear]

ty, I didn't do lua for a while , that's so weird to get back on it

[primal robin]

Be ready for a tons of spaghetti code

[pastel remnant]

?

I doubt it

[lusty bear]

I did some monstrusity in the past with this language nw

[pastel remnant]

that seems to simple if I've learned anything from other modding I've done

[brazen tusk]

no js mult =

[pastel remnant]

ah

yay

simple

mult = mult +?

[wintry solar]

I might make an actual "make your first joker" guide after I've finished calc docs

[brazen tusk]

so then when the joker main happens it'll use the value card.ability.extra.mult has

[primal robin]

Here, you can find creating and placing cards in shop in UI function

And yandere-dev mode

[reef flower]

anyone knows how to make custom type?
wanna make something similiar to vouchers but in packs

[brazen tusk]

I'd just make them vouchers but get them to not show up in the shop maybe?

[reef flower]

is it even possible?
especially when wanting more levels of em

(Lv 1 to Lv 5)

[brazen tusk]

simplest way i can think of is to just make it a consumable that changes some stuff globally?

[scarlet storm]

hiii
I'm making my first balatro mod and I've designed some custom jokers , opinions? :3 also pls lmk if these are super similar to any existing cards or seem unbalanced

[pastel remnant]

those are actually super unique rebuffed especially is very cool

[primal robin]

1. looks good, weak even for common
2. meh
3. ok look, but weak?
4. idk
5. good one, actully

[pastel remnant]

???? no?

[scarlet storm]

I did a run with storm and it can actually be very powerful

it requires some set up

[primal robin]

Full lucky-based

[pastel remnant]

if u add dice in it could very good

[scarlet storm]

yeah

[pastel remnant]

maybe make it 1/4 idk

[brazen tusk]

i think thats too strong then for every card to have a 25% chance to retrigger 4 times

[primal robin]

photograph is common, gives 2x for any face card

your is uncommon, require jacks, and only 1.1x

[pastel remnant]

yeah 1/6 feels reasonable

[scarlet storm]

yeah that one is a little bleh

[pastel remnant]

only the first face card tho

[scarlet storm]

I'll change it to 1.5x, would that be better?

[primal robin]

More than enough to be powerful

[brazen tusk]

i'd at least do 1.25

[pastel remnant]

indeed

[pastel remnant]

wait but is this gonna work or not?

[primal robin]

1.25 is closer to truth

[scarlet storm]

I also made this but it was more a joke card and I'll probably remove it in the final mod unless others think it's good

[brazen tusk]

thats a X3 if you have 5 cards

[pastel remnant]

that's good

[brazen tusk]

and no retriggers

[primal robin]

Is easy to get 5 jacks?

[scarlet storm]

obelisk 2 my beloved!

[pastel remnant]

yeah fairly

[brazen tusk]

definitely needs building towards though

[primal robin]

Then why Hit the Road weak?

[brazen tusk]

bc it demands a lot of resources just to reset

i've never found it an optimal use of time during a run but it can be good

[lusty bear]

you have to do spritesheet for jokers ?

[brazen tusk]

dont have to, can do it individually

most go for a sheet though

[lusty bear]

yeah that's what I saw

[primal robin]

I preffer individuals

[lusty bear]

i think I'll go individual for the test

do you have something for update the script without open and close balatro ?

[brazen tusk]

nope

not that im aware of

debugplus is useful though i've heard if you dont have it

haven't used it yet myself

[pastel remnant]

no... it doesn't work

hm

[lusty bear]

you forgot to clos your function ?

[pastel remnant]

I tried that

and it didn't work either

[brazen tusk]

should be after the end here if you dont have one

[pastel remnant]

I found it

let me see if it works

like this?

[brazen tusk]

squiggly bracket to close the calculate function

[lusty bear]

why you didnt do local tempval ?

[lusty bear]

nvm lmao

[pastel remnant]

I did b4 thought it might be the problem figured global might not cause problems and so removed it hoped it would fix it

have now put it back lol

[lusty bear]

so it's was the end ?

[cobalt iron]

Is there a command that closes the game?

[pastel remnant]

wait nvm no this is why I removed it I forgot

[lusty bear]

why it make the game crash lmao ?

[pastel remnant]

idk

it wont open

[lusty bear]

well go back in global ig, but I found that kinda messy

[pastel remnant]

look so long as any tempval is set to 0 in the game its fine

[brazen tusk]

ik SMODS.restart_game() restarts it

[cobalt iron]

without saving?

[pastel remnant]

I am so annoyed

[brazen tusk]

unless you tell it to but the game tends to be good at knowing where you were when you close out

will be a little behind

[lusty bear]

no nvm it's doesn't make sens what I'll say

mb

[brazen tusk]

full hand is a table yeah

has the info for all the cards you play in there

[pastel remnant]

I was told it was the # of cards played

[brazen tusk]

yeah

bc you put # in there

[pastel remnant]

ah okkk

[lusty bear]

cuz I remmebered table in lua start by one and not zero

[brazen tusk]

so its the number of cards the full hand has in it

[pastel remnant]

I've only ever coded in python lol

[pastel remnant]

should I add one then

[cobalt iron]

I will try it, thanks

[lusty bear]

try idk

[brazen tusk]

shouldnt need to

[lusty bear]

but I remember in lua the default index is one

[brazen tusk]

ill try it out myself

[lusty bear]

so idk it cause problem

[pastel remnant]

either way that's not the problem

[lusty bear]

yeah

[daring fern]

‎

[pastel remnant]

I have a sneaky suspicious that may need some messy code but I know there's the pinned tag so it should be possible

[brazen tusk]

yeah taking a look at pinned tag would be my suggestion

[pastel remnant]

it shouldn't it would (how my code works) just reduce the number of cards the joker things you played

I am getting increasingly annoyed at this

its saying line 56

but

that's not line 56

[lusty bear]

what the console sayed ?

[brazen tusk]

whats on line 56?

[pastel remnant]

the return

[brazen tusk]

the start of it?

[pastel remnant]

its still saying this

[pastel remnant]

ye

[brazen tusk]

oh you dont need an end on the return

[pastel remnant]

ahhhh

[primal robin]

You better learn lua first, then back to modding. Seriously

[brazen tusk]

nahhh

[pastel remnant]

I have some coding experience just not lua and I've got nothing better to code

[brazen tusk]

maybe watch a short video on it but i've learned what i know from just throwing myself in the deep end, i'd say its fairly effective

[lusty bear]

lua is really easy , you can learn it with this honnestly I think

[brazen tusk]

agree

[lusty bear]

the only think that will be tricky would be organising yourself after

[pastel remnant]

it does seem fairly similar to what I know

[lusty bear]

what language u use ?

[pastel remnant]

I've learned python before

[lusty bear]

fair enough honnestly

[pastel remnant]

which may explain why the indentation stuff is what I've got wrong

also yes its still broken

[primal robin]

Me as JS dev when there's basically nothing in Lua:

[lusty bear]

I doesn't know much about python, but I know lua, C,C++ and C#

[lusty bear]

lua is really really simple and ugly

[brazen tusk]

looking for all the functions xD

[pastel remnant]

I have to learn java next year for school 😭

[brazen tusk]

tis not ugly!

[primal robin]

• looks inside
• no functions for anything
• bummer

[lusty bear]

mmmmh

[brazen tusk]

make em yourself!

the beauty of it

[primal robin]

An on top of that, indexes started from 1

[brazen tusk]

i dont see that as an issue personally

[lusty bear]

one of my first project was a connect 4 , I doesn't knew how to use table, so I coded every winning condition possible

that was beautiful

I have a screenshot of the code if you want to check it lmao

[pastel remnant]

oml

[primal robin]

That's how balatro works basically

[brazen tusk]

that sounds stupendous

[pastel remnant]

like you coded every place you could get 4 in row?

like a manual check?

for each

[pastel remnant]

it might not be too bad I had a friend show me a bunch of I think stacked if statments, like 10 sets of 10 if statmentds

[primal robin]

Only 10 of 10?

[next timber]

what is the difference between an event with trigger 'after' and trigger 'immediate'? does immediate trigger at the same time as the previous event?

[brazen tusk]

classmate of mine does that in ue5, just a bunch of branch nodes stacked

[pastel remnant]

it could've been a for loop

[daring fern]

after can have a delay.

[pastel remnant]

like maybe a double for loop I think

[brazen tusk]

after (in my experience) goes after everything else in the function is done

[pastel remnant]

so instead of like 5 lines it was 50

I should probably try and work out this rather than continue to talk abt stupid code choices

[primal robin]

Maybe one day he notice that he's doing code inside table definition

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do?

[pastel remnant]

add mult based on number of cards played

[daring fern]

Couldn't you do mult = #context.full_hand?

[primal robin]

Isn't IDE tells you that you have invalid syntax?

[lusty bear]

yeah...

[daring fern]

No, you need the lua extension.

[primal robin]

Same thing

[manic rune]

is it a good practice to use #(context.scoring_hand or {}) instead of just #context.scoring_hand

[brazen tusk]

oh lord

[manic rune]

since im scared it might be nil

[lusty bear]

500 lines

[pastel remnant]

this one should I believe but it doesn't say anything

[pastel remnant]

because it need to take the factorial of #context.full_hand

[red flower]

i would say that it's not good practice unless you know it might be nil, but when it comes to contexts they shouldn't be

[pastel remnant]

also should it be mult = rather than mult = mult +

[pastel remnant]

multiply the number by every number less than it up to 1

[brazen tusk]

depends

[runic pecan]

When I take_ownership a vanilla object, can I make it not appearing in modpage/addition, or make it not show mod badge?

[brazen tusk]

but i think in your case yes

[pastel remnant]

it should be mult = ?

[manic rune]

mm i see

[brazen tusk]

mult = tempval yeah

[pastel remnant]

thanks

[manic rune]

so it can only be {} if context.scoring_hand got all the cards in it removed?

[primal robin]

Since you need this anyway, unzip game executble and just take a look at what is happening inside game

[brazen tusk]

seems accurate

[red flower]

yes, if it isn't then some mod is doing it wrong

[pastel remnant]

ok its still unsurprisingly broken the same way

[primal robin]

.

[brazen tusk]

could you send your whole file? i can take a look

[pastel remnant]

What me?

[primal robin]

Yes you

[pastel remnant]

Don’t use… whatever

[primal robin]

.

At least lua syntax

[pastel remnant]

I do not have any clue what that means I got the mod file from a tutorial and am adapting it

[primal robin]

So you're trying to do smth without understaning what you're doing and how to do it in a first place

[pastel remnant]

Vaguely yeah but that’s how I generally go with this kind of thing and work it out how it works once I get it working

I find it works well for me

[primal robin]

That's not how programming works

[brazen tusk]

how it worked for me

i picked up a tutorial and asked questions

[pastel remnant]

Yeah I have some basic knowledge of how it works I mean I can kind of understand this already

[primal robin]

I can explain what's wrong with your code and why but it will be TL:DR and be better to figure out yourself

[brazen tusk]

bro js tell them the problem 💀

[pastel remnant]

Can you tell me simply how to fix it then I will fix it and work out what I was doing wrong maybe by asking the a question or two

[primal robin]

Fine.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            card = card,
            mult = 1 + #context.full_hand
        }
    end
end

[brazen tusk]

oh it was in the return i see

[primal robin]

depends on what effect you want code is different

[pure salmon]

if you have prior programming experience then you can 100% start modding without lua knowledge. i knew 0 lua before starting and i've learned a lot. VanillaRemade is a really good thing to reference if you're just starting out

[brazen tusk]

^^

[pastel remnant]

That’s not what it needs to do tho it needs to add #context.full_hand! (!obviously isn’t a hard coded function in lua tho)

I’m not at my laptop rn

In a moment I’ll see if u changed anything else and that’s what it needs

Or do I need to define a function elsewhere and call that on #context.full_hand

[brazen tusk]

ive got it working decently well on my end just needs some tweaks

[primal robin]

1 + #context.full_hand in my book is adding

[pastel remnant]

…

If u play five cards it should add 120

4, 24

3, 6

2, 2

1, 1

[primal robin]

aka factorial

[pastel remnant]

Yes

!

[pastel remnant]

^?

I can do that myself

[brazen tusk]

what im doing is just multiplying in a for loop and increasing the value

[pastel remnant]

That’s what I did

I can’t tell what the problem is

[primal robin]

In this case

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        local tempval = 1
        for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
            tempval = tempval * i
        end
        return {
            card = card,
            mult = tempval
        }
    end
end

[pastel remnant]

Ahhh

I seee

[dapper sun]

what does playing_card_joker_effects do?

[faint yacht]

Could probably have a local function that automatically does the factorial calculation for you.

https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html even has one.

[pastel remnant]

It’s probably simpler this way it’s not too complex

Unless I end up reusing it I’ll keep it like this

[brazen tusk]

i did it this way forgetting the index already does what tally does 💀

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local tally = 1
        local val = 1
        if context.joker_main then
            for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
                val = val * tally
                tally = tally + 1
            end
            return {
                card = card,
                mult = val
            }
        end
    end

[red flower]

it calls the playing_card_added context

or however it's called

[dapper sun]

ah

so it tells the game that cards are being added?

[red flower]

yes

[dapper sun]

cool

[pastel remnant]

I need a mod to spawn in a joker don't I

[red flower]

debugplus

[brazen tusk]

no you can just launch the game in dev mode

i cannot remember how to do that though you'd have to look it up

[pastel remnant]

I have that what do I do I've never used

[brazen tusk]

hold tab?

if its the same as the dev tools

just go into the collection and press 3 on it

[red flower]

yeah but debugplus has more features and supports spawning more stuff

[brazen tusk]

true was js noting you don't need it

[pastel remnant]

holding tab then press 3 does nothing

[brazen tusk]

on the joker in the collection

dont need tab

[pastel remnant]

ah thank you

[brazen tusk]

but does pressing tab bring up the menu?

[pastel remnant]

yes

ok I didn't get the name or the sprite right but I'll work that out

but it works

[brazen tusk]

nice!

you'll prob want a localisation file rather than local text

depending on how big you are planning the mod to be

[pastel remnant]

there is no plan its whatever random math joker I come up with

[brazen tusk]

fair enough

currently trying to get this working but i think context.destroy_card is creating conflicts, not sure how to solve it

[wintry solar]

What do you mean?

[brazen tusk]

the effect was working before adding in context.destroy_card and now it isn't

[wintry solar]

Oh

Remove context individual

[brazen tusk]

i need that for each card to give their chips, would i do them seperately in that case?

[wintry solar]

No you don’t

[brazen tusk]

oh ok

ty

[manic rune]

this is super cool damn

[brazen tusk]

that first glittery one is awesome

i mean they all are but that particularly

[pastel remnant]

the tentacles is very different to what I've seen

[thorn flame]

how does the tentacle one look on another joker

[brisk rose]

yeah they're not my shaders, just the out of game exporting and animation is mostly mine

it's a project elbe started and me and atrmnn are continuing

[pastel remnant]

ah

[brazen tusk]

ahhh

i see

arguably cooler now that i know what it is

[brisk rose]

unfortunately I uh... dont know the code base well enough to easily switch out the card used for the editions. but it's from betmma's mods if you wanna check in game

I've only been working on this one shader-related file

[scarlet storm]

ive been struggling to make this joker for like an hour im going insane can someone help with the code hh

[native zinc]

this wording pains me

[scarlet storm]

I just fixed the description don't worry

[native zinc]

this feels like a consumable's job

uhhh you can probably make

well things after sell are hard to do inside the joker i feel

[scarlet storm]

weh,

should I make it do something different or keep the idea

[brazen tusk]

the first way im thinking of doing it is having a function outside of the joker that gives x5 mult as long as a value is true but turns itself false

then setting that value true when selling the joker

[scarlet storm]

uuh ok I think I understand

[native zinc]

has to do it next hand though

so check context

then set back to false after context triggers

[pastel remnant]

value also need to set to false after the x5

[native zinc]

ye

[pastel remnant]

oh

[native zinc]

it's a bit scuffed but it works

[scarlet storm]

I have No Idea how to translate this to code

[brazen tusk]

do the joker part first, easy win

[scarlet storm]

I already have the joker code written i think

lemme change smth rq

[brazen tusk]

if context.selling_self then
    globalvariablenamehere = true
end

shortest calc function ever

[scarlet storm]

ok yeah

so I did that right

[pastel remnant]

uh so I'm trying to change the atlas names from jokers and joker but now its broken again and I can't tell why

anyone know?

[scarlet storm]

ok so how would I handle doing another function like mentioned tho

and making sure the mult applies to the next hand

[pastel remnant]

should the joker key and the atlas be the same?

[normal crest]

No

[brazen tusk]

try adding the prefix j_ to the joker sprite

[thorn flame]

no

[pastel remnant]

ok...

[brazen tusk]

idk if its needed but its good practice for sorting imo

[normal crest]

I mean, it's not gonna stop working if they're the same, but it's not needed

[pastel remnant]

kkkk

[cursive sentinel]

is it possible to update a G.localization.descriptions.Other dynamically? does someone knows of a mod that does it?

[thorn flame]

atlas is whatever you set it to in the main lua files

[manic rune]

hi srockw

[normal crest]

Hi bepis, balatro star rail creator

[manic rune]

i made another mod because i was burnt out from drawing art

:3

[normal crest]

yggdrasil

[manic rune]

i added crafting, inventory and a leveling system that save for the entire profile

[pastel remnant]

damn

[normal crest]

I haven't touched Balatro in months, Paperback even did the whole looking for programmers thing cus I stopped working on it

[bleak crane]

i have this rn but i have 0 idea what to do from here

[manic rune]

oh lol, did you take a break?

[normal crest]

more like I lost interest in the game itself

[manic rune]

oh

fair, im only interested in balatro because of the stuff i can make in it primarily honestly :p

[pastel remnant]

wait so can anyone tell what the problem is? I want to use separate files for each joker sprite if that changes anything

[manic rune]

-# and people i can talk to in here

[brazen tusk]

do you have a sprite

[pastel remnant]

yes

[manic rune]

probably not the issue, but can you try changing the joker's key

[pastel remnant]

the code will be able to tell their different

it still doesn't work

[brazen tusk]

i dont see why it wouldnt

[normal crest]

What's the name of your png file

[pastel remnant]

if I had a nickle for every time I was making a mod and it was some issue so tiny not even the people capable of helping me would notice I would be rich

[brazen tusk]

as would the rest of us lol

[pastel remnant]

that's the name

[normal crest]

Is it a PNG

[pastel remnant]

I am

objectivly an idiot btw

[brazen tusk]

do you have it in both 1x and 2x?

[pastel remnant]

yes

[brazen tusk]

hm

[pastel remnant]

it was a jpg

I am fixing it

[brazen tusk]

ahh

[normal crest]

glad to help

[thorn flame]

dont worry

[brazen tusk]

we all have dumb oversights like that xD

[thorn flame]

We all fuck up stupid style anyway

[brazen tusk]

best way to put it

[pastel remnant]

its because the image editor I used does jpg by default

[brazen tusk]

i somehow got the localisation files of my two mods switched around yesterday and was confused as to why my jokers were only getting descriptions when both mods were active

[bleak crane]

moving on from my other joker cuz im stumped

im trying to make a card that retriggers all 4s and Aces, any idea why this wont work?

[pastel remnant]

that needs some improving

[cursive sentinel]

i dont think individual is needed

i have a joker that retriggers lucky cards, it is

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play
        and context.other_card.ability.name == 'Lucky Card' then
  return {
    message = localize('k_again_ex'),
    repetitions = reps,
    card = context.blueprint_card or card
  }
end

[pastel remnant]

and it seems to be lagging the game ton now

[brazen tusk]

some guidelines from the man himself, dont worry about following them all just good to be aware of them #🎨・fan-art message

[pastel remnant]

I think I just got the border wrong lol

mainly

[cursive sentinel]

if context.repetition
and context.cardarea == G.play
and (context.other_card:get_id() == 4
or context.other_card:get_id() == 14) then
  return {
    message = localize('k_again_ex'),
    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
    card = context.blueprint_card or card
  }
end

this should work if im not idiot

[bleak crane]

i got it working using the sock n buskin code,,, i shouldve done this before >~<

[cursive sentinel]

idk what context.repetition_only is for though 🧐

[bleak crane]

idk either !!

[cursive sentinel]

also i think the "again" message procs on jokers and not cards, but i may be wrong

(and using localize is better for localization)

(cuz here it'll show "Again!" in the portuguese version too)

[faint yacht]

context.repetition_only are repetitions produced by the card itself, not by a given Joker.

[cursive sentinel]

is there a point of excluding it of contexts?

i hadnt put it on my owns, so i may have forgotten something

[cursive sentinel]

but i havent noticed weird interactions so..

[pastel remnant]

... I'm out of free downloads for the day ugh

[cursive sentinel]

is there a downside not putting it in?

[cursive sentinel]

downloads?

[faint yacht]

repetition_only in Vanilla is used by the Red Seal for retriggering.

[bleak crane]

also while im getting help, any idea how i would begin to make this

[pastel remnant]

of my jokers sprite

on my image editor I'm using

[pure salmon]

if you're on pc you can build aseprite from source

[cursive sentinel]

but i mean, whats the importance of putting not context.repetitions_only

[pastel remnant]

its fine lol its not that important

[cursive sentinel]

ahh i do mine on photoshop cracked 2013

[pure salmon]

it might be a night of headaches but aseprite is SO much better than anything else for pixel art

[faint yacht]

Not to mess with card-specific retrigger counting, I suppose?

[cursive sentinel]

ive heard about it and friends that do pixel art told me abt it too, but i dont have money lol

[bleak crane]

someone suggested the idea of setting a flag when the card is sold, using that flag in a separate function to give the X mult and then setting the flag to false when the X5 mult occurs but i have no idea how to make that

[pure salmon]

you can do this for free

[cursive sentinel]

shit, gonna check if there are not mess on my mod..

[brazen tusk]

what are you using??

[pastel remnant]

pixlr its called

I'm used to it tho

so i'll keep using it

[brazen tusk]

id highly recommend paint.net if you cba with aseprite
(not the site name just an fyi, its getpaint.net)

[cursive sentinel]

i do my placeholders on that too

i mean, first placeholders

[cursive sentinel]

tbh i have no clue on how doing that, sorry

[bleak crane]

weeh,

[cursive sentinel]

the concept's fun though

the sacrificial lamb joker

[scarlet storm]

im rly proud of all my jokers

[cursive sentinel]

also i guess the x5 would proc at the very end right?

[scarlet storm]

ummm im not really sure

[cursive sentinel]

sry typed in the wrong words

i type like i pronounce, and im french

[scarlet storm]

I guess very end would make sense

[brazen tusk]

end of the next hand yeah

[cursive sentinel]

poor solution would be to create a specific joker that can only be created this way, negative, doing x5 and destroying itself upon doing so

[brazen tusk]

truee

[cursive sentinel]

but thats doing junk to avoid the issue x)

[scarlet storm]

that would be kinda funny

how would I create a joker when I sell this one

im gonna do that

[cursive sentinel]

i have a joker that does that, although it creates an already existing joker

im not sure on how to create a unexisting joker 🧐

or it can recreates itself negative, and the x5 would be negative-conditionned, then destroy self condition can be on negative

im sorry i think like an ork

[brazen tusk]

i'd make a duplicate joker that isnt in the shop/pack pool

[cursive sentinel]

i dont know how to do that tho

[scarlet storm]

idk how to do that either

[wraith kiln]

anyone knows how to specify where to look for sounds

or like how to play sounds in general

[scarlet storm]

although having it make a negative joker seems kinda cool

[cursive sentinel]

play_sound('sound_name')

[brazen tusk]

2 different jokers, im sure we could figure out how to stop it from showing up in the shop

[cursive sentinel]

you can add 2 values for pitch and volume iirc

[wraith kiln]

where should the sound file be

does it just look into my assets folder

[scarlet storm]

just make it a legendary joker gg

[cursive sentinel]

just root i'd guess? see what a random mod does

[brazen tusk]

assets\sounds

[wraith kiln]

k thanks ill try rthat

[brazen tusk]

then you get it out of soul xD

[cursive sentinel]

...the demonic soul

[scarlet storm]

secret rarity 5

[cursive sentinel]

my go to would be that the joker has a x5 in it but conditionned to itself being negative, and self destruct on its mult proccing, and that selling the joker would create a negative copy of self

it's ugly but heh

• might be confusing for player

[brazen tusk]

you need to use in_pool somewhere

[scarlet storm]

my only concern then would be what if you pull it as a base negative

[brazen tusk]

looking into it

[cursive sentinel]

then the saviour is in a hurry

[scarlet storm]

its true...

[cursive sentinel]

quick quick!!! get saved!!!!

[final goblet]

guys... i need some help with something

[scarlet storm]

with what

[final goblet]

mainly FX stuff

[manic rune]

bit late, but you need to use SMODS.Sound

[final goblet]

if yall didnt know im cooking up a tarot variant out of dislike for morefluff's 45 degree rotated tarot cards

[manic rune]

😭

[final goblet]

and i gotta decide on what cards do what :p

[wraith kiln]

wdym

[brazen tusk]

bepis while you are here if ydm, do you know how i could make destroying effects like madness target a specific joker?

[manic rune]

:start_dissolve(), preferably placed in an event

[wraith kiln]

like right now im trying and it gives the error 'resources/sounds/soundname does not exist'

[brazen tusk]

prefix?

[manic rune]

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

[wraith kiln]

thanks ill check it out

[pure salmon]

how do i get the suit of a card?

[manic rune]

card.base.suit

if im not wrong

[pure salmon]

thanks

[brazen tusk]

it'll be in the channel somewhere do a search if it doesn't work

[pure salmon]

what does that return on suitless cards? just nil?

[manic rune]

...maybe?

i havent checked that myself, but thats likely the case

either that or smt like Blank, idk

[brazen tusk]

likely nil

[pure salmon]

yeah, i'm trying to make a joker effect that triggers when you score at least 3 different suits

[brazen tusk]

this is how i've done mine for reference

[manic rune]

just to be sure, you saw my reply right gelo :3

[brazen tusk]

i did ty

[wraith kiln]

where should the SMODS.sound be placed? (inside or outside of the joker code)

[brazen tusk]

outside

[wraith kiln]

okay ill try that thanks

[brazen tusk]

thats like importing the sound

[brazen tusk]

im working on a similar thing ill lyk if i figure mine out

[pure salmon]

likewise

[manic rune]

should be simple enough

you will want to do smt like

-# one sec, i will be typing on phone

[pure salmon]

using a table for tallying so it works with modded suits

[wraith kiln]

is Gelo the mod prefix here?

[brazen tusk]

yeah

[wraith kiln]

oky

balatro crashes when starting

[manic rune]

local scored_suits = {}
for _,c in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
   if c.base.suit and not scored_suits[c.base.suit] then scored_suits[c.base.suit] = true end
end

local suitamt = 0
for _,_ in pairs(scored_suits) do
   suitamt = suitamt + 1
end

if suitamt >= 3 then
   -- effect
end

[modern kindle]

Da bepis

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

Hi

[manic rune]

hi :3

[brazen tusk]

where are you putting it?

[wraith kiln]

just under the atlas table

[brazen tusk]

should be fine there hm

whats the crash say?

[manic rune]

do you have the file in the correct place

it should be in assets -> sounds

[wraith kiln]

woops

didnt think itd copy allthat

[brazen tusk]

hm

[manic rune]

wait

remove the =

i think you only need
SMODS.Sound{
...
}

[wintry solar]

Yes the = would replace the sound class and break everything

[wraith kiln]

oh that works thankyou

thanks to you too gelo

[manic rune]

:3 thought i was gonna be clowned on for a brainfart there when eremel suddenly appeared out of nowhere

[desert hedge]

Any way to make a joker negative from code
When using create_card

[manic rune]

use SMODS.add_card instead

[wintry solar]

No, you got this!

[manic rune]

and also, add edition = "e_negative" in there

[desert hedge]

I'm patching existing codd

[manic rune]

oh

[wintry solar]

Why

[desert hedge]

Riff-raff will get a 2% chance for a negative joker

[wintry solar]

Just take ownership and give it a new calculate function

[pure salmon]

add_card has a parameter called no_edition

[brazen tusk]

wait what = bc mines working fine

[manic rune]

wh

[brazen tusk]

oh ive spotted it

nvm

[bleak crane]

im back with more Not Functioning code

idea: if played hand is a straight and has a 2, give X3 mult

[vast night]

hi

[manic rune]

that makes it so every scored 2s give X3 mult, pretty sire

[normal crest]

other_card is not always defined, you need a specific context

[manic rune]

sure

[vast night]

i wanted to ask a question

[desert hedge]

Like I have a card

I just want to set it as negative

[bleak crane]

a

[manic rune]

i would suggest asking right away instead of asking to ask :p

[bleak crane]

how do i fix that

[desert hedge]

Right after create_card

[vast night]

k

[manic rune]

and also, what srockw said

[brazen tusk]

card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)

iirc

[manic rune]

you would want to use context.joker_main instead

if you want the joker to give X3 mult when all of those conditions are met

[vast night]

This is my first time modding balatro, but since I have experience with python and lua aint that different.
So I want to make all club lucky ccards have a 1 in 2 chance to be retriggered. I've taken many things from the example mod github and the vanilla mod github. This is my current joker and I wanted to ask how I could use the pseudorandom() function

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only and
            context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_lucky') and 
            pseudorandom('vremade_bloodstone') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {
                message = 'Again!',
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                card = context.other_card
            }
        end
    end

[bleak crane]

alright :3

[bleak crane]

also what does this mean/how do i fix it

[brazen tusk]

ive never seen this repitition only thing before today, and i'd have 2 nickels

[desert wind]

hi guys im trying to implement a joker where on the first discard you can destroy 2 cards from your deck (basically the hanged man tarot card ability) would i just repurpose the tarot card code?

[manic rune]

a

[brazen tusk]

look at how trading card does it

[manic rune]

god helping on phone is hard sob

[desert wind]

yh i literally just had that thought haha, cheers

[brazen tusk]

heres an easier one lol, would this work in theory? (ik the suit thing isnt how it works)

idea is they are all different suits

[vast night]

how what

[manic rune]

i wouldn't recommend doing this

[brazen tusk]

immediately becomes not an easier one 💀

[modern kindle]

Kids always on those dang phones

[manic rune]

like, maybe your approach will work for that card specifically since it should only want to check 3 cards at once, but when you need to check in a hand with like 5+ cards then that becomes tedious

[brazen tusk]

oh yeah i wouldnt do this for anything bigger

as long as it works in this case idm

[manic rune]

my approach is more universal :p

also

dont use "not =="

its ~= you are looking for

[brazen tusk]

ahhh i keep forgetting abt that

[bleak crane]

now my code just does nothing instead of crash the game

[manic rune]

a

thats wrong

[bleak crane]

figured as much

hence the Does Nothing

[brazen tusk]

you want joker_main to be your first one

everything inside that

[leaden remnant]

You should just add all of the suits to an array and then iterate through when adding each one to see if it has any duplicates. You could also iterate through it once for each suit and check the amount of times it shows up. Both of these are less performant, but they make the code much less spaghetti. Also, they enable mod compatibility better for additional suits or card selection.

[manic rune]

if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands["Straight"]) then
   for _,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand ) do
      if v:get_id() == 2 then
         return {
            ...
         }
       end
   end
end

smt like this, i think

[manic rune]

yeah i did suggest that approach up there

thats their own take :p

[next timber]

whhyyyy is this breaking

[manic rune]

a i see

can you take a ss of that with the lines too

[next timber]

?

[manic rune]

im on phone so i cant draw a line or smt to point at it

sob

[next timber]

of what with what lines

[manic rune]

the picture of ur ui code

with the line numbers on the left side of the screen

[next timber]

[vast night]

ok I've set the pseudorandom string to something and now the game ccrashes. how do i use pseudorandom 😭

        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only and
            context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_lucky') and 
            pseudorandom('feelinlucky') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
            return {
                message = 'Again!',
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                card = context.other_card
            }

[manic rune]

the pseudorandom looks right

whats the crash log?

[vast night]

lemme crash it again

some gibberish

(the mod is called reddit because it uses jokers from reddit suggestions)

[manic rune]

card.ability.extra.odds is a nil value

[vast night]

SMODS.Joker {
key = 'feelin_lucky',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Feelin' Lucky',
text = {
"{C:green}#1# in #2#{} Chance to",
"retrigger {C:attention}Lucky{}",
"{C:clubs}#3#{} {C:attention}Cards{}"
}
},
config = { extra = { repetitions = 1, suit = 'Clubs', odds = 2 } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1, card.ability.extra.odds, localize(card.ability.extra.suit, 'suits_singular') } }
end,
rarity = 2,
atlas = 'reddit',
pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
cost = 6,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only and
context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_lucky') and
pseudorandom('reddit_feelinlucky') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
return {
message = 'Again!',
repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
card = context.other_card
}
end
end
}

[manic rune]

can i see your config = extra{...} table

in the SMODS.Joker

[vast night]

config = { extra = { repetitions = 1, suit = 'Clubs', odds = 2 } },

[manic rune]

mm

ok, so

make a new run

or create another joker

im guessing you created the joker before you added in the odds

so the joker currently does not have card.ability.extra.odds

[vast night]

can you explain dat?

[vast night]

i half understand

oh i get it

[brazen tusk]

if you created the joker in game beforehand it wont hold the new values

[vast night]

yea i get it

sorry for disturbing

[manic rune]

its all fine lol

feel free to ask anything :p

[vast night]

thank you

[brazen tusk]

am i understanding this right?
first for is putting all the suits in the scored_suits table, next is increases the suitamt by 1 for every suit?

[manic rune]

yeah, from what i heard, #table doesnt work if the index is a string

and since the person up there only really wanted to check how many unique suits there r in the scoring hand, i only added suits when they arent already in the table

[brazen tusk]

yeah

so for what i want id want to iterate through the suit of every card highlighted then check in that table if there are any results that are the same i think

[manic rune]

i see

instead of setting to true, you want it to increase by 1 instead

and in the table, check if theres any whose value is higher or equal to 2

[brazen tusk]

highlighted_suits[c.base.suit] = highlighted_suits[c.base.suit] +1 like that?

[manic rune]

mhm

[brazen tusk]

aight awesome

[manic rune]

make sure to check for nil, btw

nil + 1 will result in a crash :p

[brazen tusk]

like if a stone card is selected?

[manic rune]

...= (highlighted_suits[c.base.suit] or 0) + 1

[brazen tusk]

i see

[manic rune]

no, the nil suit check is already up there

[brazen tusk]

ig this needs to go in the can use not the use

[modern kindle]

I think we should all remove our nil suit checks collectively

[digital sun]

how do you let the player buy a joker even if there are no joker slots (kinda like how negative works)

[brazen tusk]

what are you trying to have allow this?

[digital sun]

a joker that adds 1 joker slot

[pure salmon]

worked first try, thank you

[brazen tusk]

G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1

[digital sun]

that adds the card slot but it doesnt let you buy it if theres no room

[brazen tusk]

hm

[digital sun]

i put it in an add to deck function

so thats why you cant buy it
but idk a better way

[brazen tusk]

i'll check it out in a bit and lyk if i figure smth out

[digital sun]

alr

[vast night]

yippe

hi again

how do i make every card in the shop free?

[cyan lagoon]

how do i check what cards get selected/deselected?

[brazen tusk]

G.hand.highlighted

[gleaming jungle]

(Malverk) I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here, the localization = { ... } isn't working - "attempt to index nil value", but the moment I put it in the localization file it does

i do have my reasons for wanting them here instead of in the localisation file - does anyone have any ideas?

[pure salmon]

trying to make a card that triggers every scoring card once for every non-scoring card, but this doesn't do anything

[vast night]

can you try adding "print(card.ability.extra.repetitions)" after both for loops

so i can see the behaviour that happens

[pure salmon]

oh i didn't know lua had python-esque print statements

[vast night]

yea was also stunned

[pure salmon]

where does it output? can't find it in lovely

[vast night]

should come in lovely output

did you restart balatro

[pure salmon]

yeah

[rugged helm]

how do i add a blind to my mod?

[vast night]

read the docs first

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

[rugged helm]

ah so both mod sources i checked just do it really annoyingly

[pure salmon]

ah

[rugged helm]

thanks

[vast night]

ok try printing the repetitions before and after the
card.ability.extra.repetitions = 0

just wanna see if it bugs there

[pure salmon]

all nil

wtf

[vast night]

hm

oh

i get it

you are changing a joker local var

that isnt set

just create a local variable

(replace card.ability.extra.repetitions by repet or smtn)

[pure salmon]

?

repetitions is set

[vast night]

ok

wtf did i jsut say

just replace every card.ability.extra.repetitions in the calc function with another variable

(afaik this should work)

[pure salmon]

ok but if i set it to a local variable like retrigs or something it'll evaluate to the correct number and then reset to 0 before context.repetition executes

[vast night]

you are right

maybe try running the top part in the context?

(im very inexperienced just to say lmfao)

[pure salmon]

i'd be recalculating it for every scored card but i suppose that's not a big deal

[bleak crane]

alright im done for the day -w-

paint board is subject to change i just have no ideas rn

[pure salmon]

oh! i just fixed it by changing the name "repetitions" to something else (i chose "retriggers"). maybe that's already defined in config.extra for whatever reason

[vast night]

k

[vast night]

cool

[oblique pond]

neat jimbos

[wintry solar]

You have repetitions and repetitons, that’s why it wasn’t working

[pure salmon]

wow that's. wow

i might be stupid

[hazy mountain]

are consumable cards sprite size the same size as the jokers (71x95)?

[cursive sentinel]

seems like

although their art makes them more thin

[hazy mountain]

sweet thanks!

[cursive sentinel]

i have a question, trying to do a wheel of fortune-like effect except it individually checks for each joker, and i want it to be sequential, so my structure is like

for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
EVENT
  function
    if fortune yes then
      EVENT
        trigger before
        function
          set edition
    else
      card_eval nope!
end

although the edition doesnt have a cd, like a end charge-time so it feels rushed when it's a success when i'd want it on the same pace as nopes'
any ideas?

[digital niche]

does G.hand.highlighted work for consumables and jokers aswell?

[placid star]

will support for text styling in names with info queue be coming soon?

[placid star]

no because G.hand is for the hand area, G.jokers.highlighted[1] would be for jokers

[digital niche]

ooh yeah, totallyy forgot, tyty

[desert hedge]

How can I replace a 0 in source code of balatro with a bit of code

Using lovely patches

[hard needle]

how can i get the max amount of discards and hands the player has

[vast night]

what is the use case?

[placid star]

at that moment or when entering a blind?

[hard needle]

when entering a blind i guess

[digital niche]

how do i check if a joker is the one i want in a functtion

?

[placid star]

G.GAME.round_resets.discards and G.GAME.round_resets.hands i believe

[hard needle]

and if the player has any discard and hand vouchers it will update right

[placid star]

huh??

[placid star]

yeah

same with jokers

[hard needle]

thank you

[digital niche]

like

for enhancements is 'SMODS.has_enhancement'

what would be the thing like that but for joker?

to check the highlighted joker key

[placid star]

oh to check highlighted?

[digital niche]

yye

yeye*

[placid star]

G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key == 'j_whateverjoker'

[digital niche]

tyy!

[cyan lagoon]

is there an non-context version of context.consumeable.beginning_end?

[wooden nexus]

How would i make a joker that increases the maximum selection of tarot and/or spectral cards?

[red flower]

beginning_end?

[cyan lagoon]

i have this code in one of my jokers (unrelated to what i'm doing) and i assume context.consumable.beginning_end is what i'm looking for

basically i want a non-context way to detect if a consumable is being used

[red flower]

idk what beginning_end is but what do you need this for exactly

[cyan lagoon]

for more context, this incorrectly deducts selection limit when using the tower tarot

[red flower]

and what is this trying to do?

[cyan lagoon]

'Stone cards ignore selection limit'

it works fine rn, but if you use the tower it deducts selection limit

also, i'm working with a lovely patch if that helps

[red flower]

I think it's easier and more mod-friendly to just add a field to the card when it increases the selection limit likt self-highlighed[i].increased_stone_selection and then you only decrease the limit if the flag is true

that means if a stone card was turned into one while highlighted nothing should happen

[cyan lagoon]

alright, how do i add that field?

[red flower]

where do you do highlighted_limit + 1

[red flower]

just add a line there that says card.increased_stone_selection = true

[cyan lagoon]

oh and when you deselect a card i can just check for this flag right?

[red flower]

yes

[cyan lagoon]

ok after a couple minutes of being an idiot i got it

but

another problem appeared

when there's more than 5 cards selected the 'play' button becomes inactive

[red flower]

yeah you need to patch the play limit for that BUT there's an SMODS PR for it
