[sleek siren]

Thank you!! ^^

[slow brook]

Can I add my own localization language that you can turn on in the config and then my jokers have different descriptions from that language?
like
Funny Language: ✅
Joker1Description: funny description :D
Funny Language: ❌
Joker1Description: en-us normal description

[wind steppe]

take ownership and use get_weight(self, weight, object_type)

[tall jewel]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {set = "Other", key = "tl_key", vars = {}}

-- localization file
return {
    descriptions = {
        Other={
            tl_key={
                name="",
                text={
                },
            },
        },
    }
}

[gusty iron]

how would i take ownership in the code?

[hard mica]

how can i randomize my seal type? so like at the end of the round , it randomizes the seal type etc etc but not sure how rng works with balatro

[placid silo]

SealTypes= {
                    "Red",
                    "Blue",
                    "Gold",
                   "Purple",
                    "NOTHING"
                }
local random_g = randomSelect(SealTypes)
card:set_seal(random_g, true, true)

[wind steppe]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[placid silo]

formatting for this is horrible, pls don't just copy/paste ;-;

[hard mica]

i dont have the randomselect func lmao

[placid silo]

oop

uhh

[hard mica]

neither set seal

[gusty iron]

i still dont understand how i would use this to change the weights?

[placid silo]

function randomSelect(table)
    for i = 1, 5 do
        math.random()
    end
    if #table == 0 then
        return nil -- Table is empty
    end
    local randomIndex = math.random(1, #table)
    return table[randomIndex]
end```

[hard mica]

and the set seal func what is it? if u have it

[placid silo]

it should be card:set_seal()

my bad

[slow brook]

how do i take the joker name and text from a localization file?

[placid silo]

not a standalone function ;-;

[wind steppe]

take ownership of the rarities rare and uncommon

then modify get_weight(self, weight, object_type)

[gusty iron]

ah

wait how do i access the rarities

[wind steppe]

uhhhh

does anybody know the keys to rare and uncommon?

i THINK it's just 2 and 3 but dont quote me on that

[gusty iron]

okay so like wait

im seeing this code as example:

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker', -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
    cost = 5,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- more on this later
    end
    },
    true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
)

what do i replace smods.joker with??

smods.rarity?

[placid silo]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker',
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
    rarity = 2 -- uncommon
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- more on this later
    end
    },
    true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
)```

maybe this?>

if you're trying to change that joker's rarity?

[gusty iron]

im trying to modify rarities themself

[placid silo]

oh uhhhh

[gusty iron]

im adding a stake that makes uncommon and rare jokers 4x more uncommon

[wind steppe]

yeah it'd be SMODS.Rarity

[gusty iron]

then what would i change get_weight to

[sleek siren]

Is there a way I can change the order of my custom rank to be accurate to how big the number actually is?

[gusty iron]

with decimals i dont think so

[wind steppe]

does the pi card score pi chips?

[sleek siren]

Yes! ^^

[placid silo]

3.1415?

[sleek siren]

Darn...

[hard mica]

how can i show the cureent seal effect in my description?

[wind steppe]

how accurate

[sleek siren]

Just 3.14, originally it was DOOM's slightly inaccurate approximation, but then I shrunk it

[hybrid shadow]

how hungry...

[placid silo]

what does your current description look like in-game?

[slow brook]

umm what would be the type of localization a custom consumable would have? descriptions = { Other } ?

[hard mica]

it just crashes when i want to look at the desc

[magic lava]

The game crashes when selecting a blind I've disabled all mods and still. I have my mods from balatro mod manager

[wind steppe]

you dont have loc_vars

[wind steppe]

check the actual mods folder

[hard mica]

who

[gusty iron]

bump?

[wind steppe]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#Localization-functions

[hybrid shadow]

have you tried a new run

[magic lava]

What do I do from there

[hard mica]

i do tho

[magic lava]

yes

[placid silo]

it depends on the type, if it's tarot it would be under Tarot, if it's spectral, it's under spectral, etc.

[wind steppe]

idk then

[wind steppe]

whats in it

[slow brook]

i found it, if i make a custom consumable type i can just write the key of my type i made

[placid silo]

that too

[tall jewel]

mf asked me about what to respond with and he sent exactly what i told him word for word

[hybrid shadow]

whats the rest of your code up until the config

[tall jewel]

lmao

[placid silo]

❤️

[wind steppe]

0.25 times the base rarity (no i dont know what that base rarity is)

[tall jewel]

(hes my bf we're modding our own mods respectively)

[placid silo]

i'm not making any mods atm

[wind steppe]

get rid of everything except lovely and steamodded

[magic lava]

Why

[hybrid shadow]

try self.config.extra.[key] in loc_vars instead

[wind steppe]

well one of the mods is causing the crash

frankly id recommend modding manually instead of through a manager

you can put half of them back and binary search to find which one's crashing later

[lofty sand]

hey, does anyone know how I would use pseudorandom to instead of making a charm tag, make a random booster pack tag? (standard, charm, meteor, buffoon, or spectral?)

           ``` return {
                remove = to_remove,
                    func = function()
                    for _, _ in ipairs(to_remove) do
                        add_tag(Tag('tag_charm'))
                    end```

[magic lava]

I removed all and still''

[wind steppe]

update steamodded and lovely

[magic lava]

Is it easy to understand?

ok

[wind steppe]

yeah you drag folders in to another folder

[wind steppe]

i think theres a different random thing for that

[gusty iron]

yeah but do i just do weight = weight * 0.25??

[placid silo]

you could make a local table of tags and filter through them on use, perhaps?

[magic lava]

ok, but steam modded do latest(could be unstable)? and where do I find lovely, dowload from the web?

[hard mica]

thaat works

but question is how can i spawn a card with that seal

[slow brook]

what prefix would a consumable have? like a joker is j_modprefix_jokerkey so what would a consumable have instead of j_

[placid silo]

I recommend getting the DebugPlus mod and using the cheat menu to swap the seal

until it hits the one you want

[hard mica]

i got it

but how do i swap it

[placid silo]

Ctrl+ something

Hold Tab

while in a run

should have instructions

[wind steppe]

just code -> download zip -> unzip it and drag into mods

[daring fern]

card:set_seal()?

[wind steppe]

lovely is here https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-installation

[placid silo]

they're talking how to test the seal in-game I think?

[hard mica]

yeah

[daring fern]

Press CTRL + E until it shows up with DebugPlus

[gusty iron]

does anyone know the weights for rare and uncommon

[hard mica]

welp uh

[daring fern]

What line is that?

[lofty sand]

is it math.random?

[daring fern]

No.

[wind steppe]

idk

check wheel of fortune in vanilla remade i think they use it there

[hard mica]

fixed it

[wind steppe]

or aura

[gilded narwhal]

gang how would i make a card in the shop always appear with an edition

Like I can make it gain an edition when you buy it but thats weird

[daring fern]

pseudorandom_element

[hybrid shadow]

why is there just a random spam of ❓ reactions

[gusty iron]

would i do ownership like this??

SMODS.Rarity:take_ownership('2', -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
    cost = 5,
get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
return .75 * .25
end
    },
    true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
)
SMODS.Rarity:take_ownership('3', -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
    cost = 5,
get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
return .2 * .25
end
    },
    true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
)

[daring fern]

set_ability = function(self, card, initial, delay_sprites)
    card:set_edition("edition", true, true)
end
```?

[wind steppe]

you need to define get_weight as a function

[gusty iron]

i did

[wind steppe]

yeah like that

[gusty iron]

i just realized lmao

[wind steppe]

you need indents though

i think

looks nicer at least

[daring fern]

Indentation is not required.

[wind steppe]

also remove cost = 5

[magic lava]

installed both of them

steammodded and lovely

[wind steppe]

check file integrity on steam then reinstall steamodded and lovely

[gilded narwhal]

Also what's the code name for the collection

like uh

[daring fern]

You mean the location of the card area?

[gilded narwhal]

So I can do and not card.area

[gusty iron]

0.9375% of jokers on maroon stake will be common

[wind steppe]

more chances for photochad? sign me up

[gilded narwhal]

Yes

[daring fern]

Every individual collection page is in G.your_collection, it is not the card area itself though.

[gilded narwhal]

Because now it applies an edtion to itself when it's in the collection 😭

[magic lava]

wait, when installing do I put the mods here?
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods

[gusty iron]

i dont think the keys are right

[gilded narwhal]

Which is funny but i don't want it

[gusty iron]

cause i got 3 rare jokers in a row

[daring fern]

I don't think there is an easy way to prevent that.

[wind steppe]

maybe ur just really lucky

[gusty iron]

no the jokers are spawning much more commonly than they shouls

[hard mica]

when im trying to use the card with the seal it just crashes, idk what im douing wrong

[wind steppe]

maybe the weights are wrong?

[gusty iron]

im making the weights for uncommon 0.05, and rare 0.0125

so it cant be that

[daring fern]

Why do you have a function that gets a random element from a table?

[hard mica]

so it ranomzies the seal effect at the end of the round

[daring fern]

You know there is already a function for that?

[tall jewel]

I'm not sure why, but the title/name of the deck isn't getting localized properly

[hard mica]

what is it

[daring fern]

b_modprefix_lesbians

[daring fern]

pseudorandom_element

[red flower]

they're modprefixing the lesbians now?

[tall jewel]

this doesn't change it

[daring fern]

Code?

[tall jewel]

sent it already

[daring fern]

No, I mean the changed code.

[tall jewel]

SMODS.Back{
    key = "lesbians",
    pos = {x = 1, y = 3},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {
        key = "lesbians",
        set = "Back",
    }
    end,
    apply = function(self)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                    card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_hime_himejoshi_lesbian"])
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(card, "Hearts", "Queen"))
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
}

[daring fern]

Try removing the loc_vars function.

[hard mica]

used that but my main problem still is there

[gusty iron]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'blind.lua'
pattern = " elseif self.name == 'The Tooth' then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2, func = function()
        for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function() G.play.cards[i]:juice_up(); return true end })) 
            ease_dollars(-1)
            delay(0.23)
        end"

            ease_dollars(1)
            delay(0.23)
        end"
match_indent = true

whats wrong with this patch?

[sleek siren]

How do I make a voucher redeemed on run start?

[daring fern]

This is extremely likely to not work but try replacing everything with

local temp_card = {seal = self.config.extra.SealType, ability = {}}
return temp_card:calculate_seal(context)

[tall jewel]

Now it shows as nothing whatsoever

even without the b_

with modid,

[daring fern]

Remove the mod prefix when defining the key.

Also the prefix not the mod id.

[tall jewel]

Removing the modprefix when defining the key results in this

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tall jewel]

not sure if thats the proper tl key but

[hard mica]

Replace what exactly?

[daring fern]

Everything in calculate

[magic lava]

Still have this error when selecting a deck

[tall jewel]

ah I needed to swap b_ and hime

b_hime_lesbians

i may be stupid

[hard mica]

Alright I guess

[slow brook]

is this writing fire or nah

[hard mica]

yep it ddnt work

[ivory coral]

how does one check for a custom consumable type? im using card.config.center.set but it doesnt seem to work when i try to check for the consumable type's key or prefix_key

[daring fern]

card.ability.set?

[daring fern]

Try this instead:

local temp_card = {seal = self.config.extra.SealType, ability = {}}
local usedfunction = Card.calculate_seal
return usedfunction(temp_card, context)
```?

[ivory coral]

card.ability.set == '<key>' doesnt work?
nor does prefix_key again

actually wait lemme try smth

[slow brook]

how does the game determine what joker comes first in collections tab?

[daring fern]

It's what order you load them in.

[slow brook]

thought so

[ivory coral]

ok nvm idk

im trying to make a patch to keep track of the last used consumable of a type im adding

but i cant get it to correctly check for the type

[hard mica]

What does it do exactly? I have to remove my entire code for it , why?

[daring fern]

It should run the specified seals code automatically, also if it doesn't work you can just undo it.

[ivory coral]

just to be sure if the consumeabletype's key is 'A' then i should do if card.ability.set == 'A' right

[daring fern]

Yes.

[ivory coral]

well its not working
honestly even i dont know why
when i eval the card's ability.set it does indeed return the key

[daring fern]

Maybe it is where you're patching?

[ivory coral]

i guess

ill try rewriting it

[wind steppe]

does anyone know how i would make a sticker that gives +1 joker slot?

[ivory coral]

ive copied the code im basing it on (the way it tracks last used tarot/planet) and only changed the key its checking for
it still doesnt work

im gonna sanity check this thing rq

[daring fern]

Yes, you put it in apply

[ivory coral]

ok so i changed it to check for tarots and turns out it just doesnt run at all

guess ill go figure out why

ok im stupid i jucked up the path for the file to patch, forgot misc_functions.lua is in its own folder

thanks anyway lad @daring fern

[gusty iron]

local pool = {
    "The Hook",
    "The Ox",
    "The House",
    "The Wall",
    "The Wheel",
    "The Arm",
    "The Club",
    "The Fish",
    "The Psychic",
    "The Goad",
    "The Water",

}
local selected = {}
for i = 1, 3 do
table.insert(selected, pseudorandom_element(pool, pseudoseed("fiasco")))
print(selected)
end

so its saying that theres

a bad argument to table.insert

what am i doing wrong??

its saying number expected, got string

[daring fern]

Are you sure it is the table.insert?

[gusty iron]

yeah

[wind steppe]

if i do that it triggers whenever the sticker would appear (in a booster pack) and not when i get a joker with the sticker

[daring fern]

Try table.insert(pool, #pool+1, pseudorandom_element(pool, pseudoseed("fiasco")))

I think it's because it doesn't know if what you gave it is a string or a number.

[gusty iron]

i fixed it anyways

bu just doing

selected[i] = blahblahblah

how do i recalculate what cards are debuffed by a boss-blind?

[sleek siren]

How do I redeem a voucher on game start?

Or how do I redeem a voucher at all? I was looking through utility and it was just for cards

[astral sonnet]

ive been sitting here for the last 2 and a half hours waiting for a hand to be played/calculated is this normal for late game cryptid?

[wind steppe]

yes

i would assume it's a retrigger heavy build

[astral sonnet]

yeah i have like 5-6 blueprints on a chad that is on a mime

[tall jewel]

welcome to cryptid

also join the cat tags smh

[astral sonnet]

HOW

i didnt know u could

and ill try to when it finally gets done calculating

[slow brook]

can i spawn a gif on the middle of the screen when a consumable is used? a consumable moves to the middle of the screen so i want it to spawn right there

[sleek cliff]

is there a way to have 2 different odds?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

Probably yes.

[sleek cliff]

wait ofc there is there's lucky cards lmao

[daring fern]

You spawn a voucher then you do card:apply_to_run()?

[sleek siren]

How do I spawn a voucher?

[slow brook]

where do i write a localization thing for messages? descriptions = { Other } ?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = 'Voucher'})?

[sleek siren]

Oh!!! Ok! I'll give it a try

[wind steppe]

has anybody here actually worked with stickers before? the documentation is not helping

[turbid maple]

whats up

[sleek siren]

Like this?

is there anything else I should add to the key?

[wind steppe]

how do i make a sticker that gives +1 joker slot?

[turbid maple]

you want negative editions as a sticker?

[wind steppe]

yes

[placid silo]

my game crashed :(

[daring fern]

No, you do lua cardd = SMODS.add_card({set = 'Voucher', key = 'modprefix_key'}) cardd:apply_to_run()?

[wind steppe]

misspelled deck

[tall jewel]

this mf types too fast btw

[sleek siren]

ohhhhh, ok!

[tall jewel]

Yes I told him to post it here lmao

[placid silo]

hahaha hush you

[turbid maple]

the apply method of the sticker should handle it

[tall jewel]

No

[wind steppe]

if ur talking about something like this:

    apply = function(self, card, val)
        G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + self.config.extra.card_limit
    end

[turbid maple]

probably have to check when the card itself is removed as well because im sure that the game doesnt bother to unapply the sticker before destroying it

[wind steppe]

this doesn't work properly

[unborn bay]

don't use self

[wind steppe]

what should i use then?

[unborn bay]

actually wait nvm

im stupid

hmm

[sleek siren]

It works!! But it also spawns it in here for some reason

[wind steppe]

yeah add_card is meant for jokers

[turbid maple]

did you check how negative editions work

[daring fern]

No?

[turbid maple]

it should be in cards.lua somewhere

[daring fern]

It’s meant for any card?

[sleek siren]

ahhhh

[turbid maple]

also apply is called for both applying (val is true) and removing the sticker (val is false) so you should check that

[wind steppe]

thats what the documen- wait nvm i dont trust the documentation

[daring fern]

Yes then you dissolve it.

[unborn bay]

add_card can be used anywhere and not just for jokers specifically

that wouldn't really make sense

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#mod-facing-utilities

[unborn bay]

just specify the area

[wind steppe]

surely the scammers can do better than that

[wheat jewel]

How can i make a config to allow for players to turn a specific music track off from a joker, i heard making a config file would do it but idk where to start making it

[slow brook]

commynity

[wind steppe]

steamcommynity? really?

[sleek siren]

Ohhhhh ok!

[wind steppe]

base balatro defines it in card:set_edition and vanillaremade uses config = { card_limit = 1 }

neither of which really works for stickers

[turbid maple]

hmm

it just doesnt do anything?

no changes to number of slots?

[wind steppe]

rn i have

    apply = function(self, card, val)
        if val then
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + self.config.extra.card_limit
        else
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - self.config.extra.card_limit
        end
    end

[hybrid shadow]

cryptid does this i suggest looking it up

[wind steppe]

but this
1: makes the sticker disappear for some reason
2: increases slots whenever a joker with this sticker would be spawned (in a booster pack of 3 jokers with this sticker, +3 joker slots permanently)

[slow brook]

where do i write messages in en-us.lua? in Other? and how do i use them in a Joker?

[daring fern]

No, they go in dictionary

[hybrid shadow]

messages would be in dictionary and they'd be used in cases like where gros michel says 'Extinct!' or 'Safe!'

[slow brook]

so in misc, i see, and do i use them in the same way i use info_queues?

[hybrid shadow]

in terms of position anyway

[turbid maple]

1. youre overriding the "Sets card.ability[self.key] to val by default" mentioned in the doc implementation ehich keeps track of whethe the sticker is actually present on a card
   so do that here toi

[daring fern]

No, you do localize('keyname')

[slow brook]

oh so like when i want to message chips or mult with a joker alright thanks

[turbid maple]

2. oh yeah wait youre right huh

i should look back at my implementation but im not home

you might have to hook add_to_deck and remove_from_deck or whatever they were called instead

and apply only explicitly checks if card is in already in your joker area and a sticker gets added to it somehow

[hybrid shadow]

btw to anyone whose done this before would this work as intended (using the number of unscored cards to decide how strong the ability of the joker is) or do i need to move the math that decides what the variable is to the outside of the return

[wheat jewel]

Tried but to not much avail

[wind steppe]

never check cryptid

[sleek cliff]

i don't think this is right...

[wind steppe]

one of these is not like the other

[wheat jewel]

What should i reference then, any pointers would help a lot

[sleek cliff]

no i mean-

[wind steppe]

literally anything besides cryptid

it is not coded well

[sleek cliff]

this is the code, it also triggers multiple times when I want it once

[wind steppe]

you need to set area in add_card

[sleek cliff]

so put set.cardarea?

[slow brook]

i mean it helped me a lot

[daring fern]

It should do that automatically.

[sleek cliff]

maybe because im selling the joker it's spawning in the joker area???

[daring fern]

Is the set classified as a consumable type?

[wind steppe]

it should doesn't mean it does

[placid star]

crashes when trying to load the deck

[sleek cliff]

should I change the Object type to consumable type??

[daring fern]

No, you should change the way your choosing them.

[sleek cliff]

o?

[daring fern]

You need to put it in an event and check for G.jokers

[placid star]

ahh

[sleek cliff]

how should I then?

[daring fern]

For the top one you should just create that card, and for the other one you would get a random one and create it.

[sleek cliff]

like this?

[lucid owl]

absolute noob to shaders here, are shaders very hard to code?

[daring fern]

Probably yes.

[lucid owl]

fun

[daring fern]

No, you would do key instead of set for the top one.

[sleek cliff]

oki

[pulsar furnace]

how do i make a deck with less cards

[daring fern]

You remove them in apply

[pulsar furnace]

how

ik apply

but how i remove them

[daring fern]

card:start_dissolve()?

[pulsar furnace]

and also how do i use randomness, do i just use math.random? or something else

[hidden notch]

What is the function to hide and show these elements?
[Hide "Play Hand" or "Discard"]
I've looked at the code for a while and I can't really figure out what I need to call to make it happen

Edit: Figured it out!
You need to set the "G.STATE" to either "G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED" or "G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND"
You need to set it back to "SELECTING_HAND" at a later time, It's also important to set the "G.STATE_COMPLETE" to true and later to "false" again!
It's best to check out the "state_events.lua" => G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted

[wind steppe]

does anyone know why buying a joker with this sticker decreases instead of increases the joker slots?

ive hooked remove_from_deck and add_to_deck

local para_card_removal_old = Card.remove_from_deck
local para_card_addition_old = Card.add_to_deck
Card.remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
    end
    return para_card_removal_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end
Card.add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end
    return para_card_addition_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end

[analog spoke]

does anyone have a link to the thread in #1209506514763522108 for public art resources made by devs I lost it 💀 sorry lmao

I made something I wanted to put in there lol

[wild escarp]

I know next to nothing about hooking, but how would this be for tracking played hands in a round?

local SMODS_calculate_context_ref = SMODS.calculate_context
function SMODS.calculate_context(context, return_table)
    if context.before and context.main_eval then
        G.GAME.willatro_played_hands[#G.GAME.willatro_played_hands + 1] = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played
    end
    return SMODS_calculate_context_ref(context, return_table)
end

[wintry solar]

doesn't the game already track played hands?

[wild escarp]

I want it to track just within an ante, resetting afterwards. not sure if there's another way to do that.

[pulsar furnace]

how do i use pseudorandom()?

[pure salmon]

is there a way for me to do the joker effect "earns $2 when a card is retriggered"?

my first thought is to do a hook but i'm not all too familiar with those

[wheat jewel]

Anyone know of a way to configure music playing for a specific joker that isn't jimball

i can't seem to find any other examples that do so

like where you cang go to the mod config and do so

because i can't understand how cryptid does it even by looking into the code

[sleek cliff]

im going to explode, bro

[red flower]

pseudorandom("seed") gives you a number between 0 and 1
pseudorandom("seed", min, max) gives you an integer between min and max
pseudorandom_element(table, pseudoseed("seed")) gives you the pair value, index of a random element in an array

[maiden phoenix]

Send a screenshot of the crashing line

[pulsar furnace]

why this doesnt work, just deletes all cards (im new to modding)

[sleek cliff]

using center also crashes sometimes

[red flower]

please use loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)

[harsh sonnet]

what do i even do at this point

img 2 shows my poorly written code that i believe contains the point of issue

[sleek cliff]

oh.

[pulsar furnace]

how do i make a if .... with 50% chance

i tried but idk

[red flower]

if pseudorandom("seed") < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/2 then

[gusty iron]

...i think i broke soemthing...

[clear yoke]

😭

[umbral zodiac]

what could you have possibly done

[gusty iron]

how do i fix this 😭

 apply = function(self)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                    local _card = copy_card(v, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                    _card:add_to_deck()
                end
            return true
            end
        }))

[umbral zodiac]

i think you didnt emplace it in the hand

[gusty iron]

how do i do that

[umbral zodiac]

i think G.hand:emplace(_card)

i dont remember if its G.hand or something else for the card area

[gusty iron]

uh

[umbral zodiac]

well, it went in your hand
nobody said it had to be in the round to work!

[gusty iron]

im trying to put it in the deck

not the hand

[umbral zodiac]

ah

i actually dont know about that since i've never used the deck for things like this
i rarely touch playing cards anyway

[gusty iron]

so uh

any help

[red flower]

try G.deck?

[gusty iron]

it does go into it, but it doesnt show up in the deck ui

[umbral zodiac]

mmm
anyone know if rarities you create spawn naturally in the shop by default or not?

[gusty iron]

so how would i like

fix that

[red flower]

cryptid (the card) does a couple more things maybe copy from that

[umbral zodiac]

when in doubt go check like cryptid code or something

[red flower]

(the card)

[harsh sonnet]

i was in doubt
checked cryptid mod code
cried myself to sleep

[umbral zodiac]

oops
regardless cryptid still is a very good source and also the spectral card does only create copies into hand, no?

[red flower]

yes but it does a couple more things when it copies that are probably what makes it show up in deck

also I disagree on the cryptid (the mod) part

[umbral zodiac]

idk ive found it relatively simple so far to just go off my own intuition plus checking cryptid & examplemod code when i am stuck

[red flower]

well it's not in your code

that error is usually when you try to create a card with the wrong key

[sleek cliff]

i see

[sleek siren]

How can I make replace_base_card still draw the base card sprite?

[sleek cliff]

Ok, we got SOMETHING

could I do an or with the keys?

[red flower]

wdym

[sleek cliff]

like key = 'c_whatever' or 'c_whatever

[red flower]

no

use psudorandom_element

[gusty iron]

OH HELLO

[lofty sand]

yo this joker should only be creating one tag per card destroyed, but for some reason every card destroyed creates a tag equal to the amount of cards destroyed, anyone know what could be happening here? here's my calculate:

        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            local eval = function() return G.GAME.current_round.discards_used == 0 and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
            juice_card_until(card, eval, true)
        end
        if context.discard and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.current_round.discards_used <= 0 and context.full_hand then
            local to_remove = {}
            for _, c in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
                if c.seal then
                    table.insert(to_remove, c)
                end
            end
                if #to_remove > 0 then
                    local possible_tags = {'tag_standard', 'tag_charm', 'tag_meteor', 'tag_buffoon', 'tag_ethereal'}
                    return {
                        func = function()
                            for i = 1, #to_remove do
                                local tag_key = possible_tags[math.random(#possible_tags)]
                                add_tag(Tag(tag_key))
                            end
                            play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                            play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
                            return true
                        end
                    }
                end
        end
    end,```

[red flower]

context.discard is called once per card

[wheat jewel]

does anyone have an example code of how to configure a song to play in a mod config menu

i tried to reference cryptid but i cannot understand how it's coded

[gusty iron]

how do i allow spaces, commas, and other things in textboxes?

[zealous glen]

You type them

[gusty iron]

they dont show up

[red flower]

type them harder

(bepis had to deal with those recently maybe ask him)

[wheat jewel]

if i want to reference my config file, what should i use because i keep getting crashes here

[gusty iron]

        if deck == "red" then
            G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards + 1
            ease_discard(1)
        end
``` this doesnt save between runs

[wheat jewel]

lemme add more info

[red flower]

at the beginning of your code do sizi.config = SMODS.current_mod.config

[lofty sand]

yep, that was it. thanks :)

[red flower]

also don't use math.random for gameplay effects, use pseudorandom

[wheat jewel]

do i replace the current_mod part with anything or keep it that way

[gusty iron]

heres what it looks like

[red flower]

keep it like that

[lofty sand]

what I have works fine rn, would it cause any problems if I kept it the way it is?

[red flower]

yes it will be inconsistent with the seed

[lofty sand]

got it, okay

[wheat jewel]

ok i got a crash, for the line you mentioned in the "sizi.config", do i use the mod prefix to get the config

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[sleek cliff]

idk why this isn't working but another one with the same exact line does work

[red flower]

ok add a line just before that that's sizi = {}

[gusty iron]

anybody have any ideas?

[red flower]

what's the code

[wheat jewel]

like this?

[red flower]

i need more context (no pun intended)

[red flower]

yes

[lofty sand]

sick, thank you

[red flower]

isn't other_context for post trigger or retriggers

[sleek cliff]

oh

[rapid stag]

so question - the game differentiates between whether the hovered thing is a joker, consumable and with steamodded, a playing card for the negative tooltip.

how can i implement this for say, red seal?

[gusty iron]

so i tried saving it to G.GAME.FUSION_DECKS, but its still showing nil;

uh

can i get some help?

[sleek cliff]

It just that its triggering them all, but I doubt there would be a run where you have several Chaplets

[red flower]

you can probably take ownership of the seal and change it with loc_vars

[red flower]

between runs or between reloads?

[gusty iron]

yeah

both

[red flower]

between reloads it is G.GAME
but between runs you need to save to the profile

i dont remember the syntax for that

[gusty iron]

OH

SO APPARENTLY

IT SAVES AFTER YOU BEAT 1 ROUND??

[red flower]

the game saves after specific actions

if that's what you mean

[gusty iron]

yeah cause what im doing is

im checking for red

and adding one discard via G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards + 1
ease_discard(1)

[red flower]

yeah it's not going to be saved until the game saves

[gusty iron]

okay time to see if

my fusion deck works

i added blue and yellow

OH HELLO

okay now uh

green will be a bit hard to impliment

wheres the code for green deck??

[rapid stag]

...will that bypass everything that happens in generate_card_ui()? because in there, when you hover a card, it adds the center of the seal to info_queue.

[worthy stirrup]

hello! How would i call for the color from JimboGrad?
self is needed here btw :3

SMODS.Gradient {
  key = "JimboGrad",
  colours = {},
  cycle = 10,
  interpolation = 'trig'
}

  update = function(self, dt)
    self.boss_colour = ???
  end

[red flower]

im pretty sure, yes

it does for jokers

[wind steppe]

why does this only decrease my joker slots instead of increasing? (the sticker only appears on jokers in a booster pack of 3 items where you pick 1)

local para_card_removal_old = Card.remove_from_deck
local para_card_addition_old = Card.add_to_deck
Card.remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
    end
    return para_card_removal_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end
Card.add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end
    return para_card_addition_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end

i think it's because when the boosterpack is closed the 2 cards i didnt pick are "removed" but i dont know if im missing something

[red flower]

SMODS.Gradients.modprefix_JimboGrad

[wind steppe]

and i also dunno how to fix that

[worthy stirrup]

ah, thank you

[manic rune]

how do i use main_end in loc vars :p

is it documented anywhere

[red flower]

add_to_deck would only work if the card starts with the sticker

[wind steppe]

it does

[rapid stag]

wait, how do i get the card the seal is on, from inside of the seal's loc_vars()?

[red flower]

uhh it's mentioned in the localization docs but you can check Misprint or Blueprint in vanillaremade or Arrival Cyberse in JoyousSpring(tm)

[manic rune]

thanks, lemme check if i still have vanillaremade github link

[red flower]

card?
no idea never made a seal

[wind steppe]

okay it's definitely this

skipping the pack reduces slots by 3

how do i check where a joker is when it's removed?

[manic rune]

a

no i dont

[worthy stirrup]

Wait, is update(self, dt) called every frame?

[manic rune]

pretty much

[red flower]

self.area and self.area == G.jokers maybe but the card might be removed from the area beforehand

[gusty iron]

how do i give the player a voucher from the get-go?

[worthy stirrup]

hm, it doesnt seem to be updating my thing

[wind steppe]

what area is the inside of a booster pack?

[red flower]

G.pack_cards

[red flower]

in a deck?

[gusty iron]

yeah

[unborn bay]

if the game is paused then it doesn't

i mean dt is just straight 0

[red flower]

config = { vouchers= { "key" } }
i think

[wind steppe]

why does my function hook not remove a joker slot when the joker is sold?

local para_card_removal_old = Card.remove_from_deck
local para_card_addition_old = Card.add_to_deck
Card.remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker and not self.area == G.pack_cards then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
    end
    return para_card_removal_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end
Card.add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if self.ability.para_negativesticker then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end
    return para_card_addition_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end

[unborn bay]

hi n

[gusty iron]

i dont have access to config from where im at rn

[red flower]

wdym

[gusty iron]

its in the apply function rn

because you have to CHOOSE 3 decks

[red flower]

hii

[gusty iron]

(ex: typing in red1blue1yellow would combine red, blue, and yellow deck respectively)

[red flower]

search for config.voucher in the backs code and do what that does

[gusty iron]

found it

whats the key for crystal ball

[red flower]

v_crystal_ball

[gusty iron]

my code is messy, suffer >:)

[red flower]

im not the one that needs to read it all the time

[wind steppe]

bump

[gusty iron]

yeah but some people get really disgusted at seeing i code in notepad

[red flower]

yeah that includes me

[wind steppe]

i'm surprised you don't

[gusty iron]

OH GOD

WHAT THE FUCK

[wind steppe]

the blue consumes

[gusty iron]

EVERYTHINGS BLUE

[worthy stirrup]

where do i begin with making a little area to show stuff, like the card area?

[wind steppe]

is that the ukraine deck

[gusty iron]

its a placeholder for my deck

[red flower]

if you're asking for tutorials you're out of luck

[worthy stirrup]

just, like the basics of where to start

[red flower]

my mod has a cardarea on the side and one that opens with a button
they are created here
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/1f60413b8a13267634fa8e9945dfa37358f40c04/src/extra_deck.lua#L255

[gusty iron]

magic, checkered, and black work :)

[wind steppe]

bump

[red flower]

because G.pack_cards is nil when not in the booster

no, that's not it

not a == b is almost always false == b

[wind steppe]

oh

parentheses issues

[red flower]

use a ~= b

[rapid stag]

how on earth do i take ownership of a red seal? neither SMODS.Seal:take_ownership('red'... nor SMODS.Seal:take_ownership('red_seal'... work

[red flower]

the key is Red

[wheat pulsar]

hey one question, im learning now how to make blinds and i want to recreate psychic but with 4 cards, but idk whats wrong

[wind steppe]

this doesn't fix it

condition is self.ability.para_negativesticker and self.area ~= G.pack_cards

[red flower]

try the other thing

check if G.pack_cards exists

[wind steppe]

wouldn't that have the same issue if i sold it in another booster pack (like an arcana pack)?

[rapid stag]

nope. the entire content of card in loc_vars(self, info_queue, card) when you hover is:

fake_card = true,
ability = {}

[red flower]

no you're just checking if it exists before checking if it's in the area

[red flower]

makes sense

it does that for tooltips

[gusty iron]

what are the keys for planet and tarot merchant?

[red flower]

search them in the localization files

[wind steppe]

self.ability.para_negativesticker and self.area ~= G.pack_cards and G.pack_cards ~= nil still doesn't decrease joker slots on sell

[red flower]

try self.ability.para_negativesticker and (not self.area or not G.pack_cards or (self.area ~= G.pack_cards))

that should work i think but if that has the problem where leaving a booster decreases again then that means self.area is removed before remove_from_deck

[wind steppe]

no that works

ty

[rapid stag]

...wait, wtf? i'm looking at common_events.lua and i'm wondering if the decision to add tooltips for editions and seals is based on the badges the card has?

[red flower]

what function is it?

[rapid stag]

generate_card_ui

[red flower]

It seems like it

[hasty mist]

how do i make it so a joker only appears in the pool when a certain hand has been played?

[wintry basin]

talisman was the mod that made yggdrasil hard crash

[red flower]

return (G.GAME.hands[key].played or 0) > 0 in in_pool

[hasty mist]

tysmm

[elfin stratus]

hello

[digital sun]

im makin a tarot card and i want to make it so when you use the tarot card you get a $1 increase in reward money from blinds
whats the best way of doing this

[elfin stratus]

heres where i ask how to mod the game?

[red flower]

yes

[elfin stratus]

like make mods

[red flower]

yes

[elfin stratus]

how do i get started

i want to make custom jokers

i only know the game is written in lua

[sleek cliff]

So, I've been testing the Dodo Chaplet card, every time I spawn it, it creates 50 base events and I cannot figure out why

[red flower]

check the pinned post in #⚙・modding-general and you can ask questions here if you have any problems

[elfin stratus]

alright

thanks

[hasty mist]

ive got a timer that increments every second from the beginning of the game, is there a way i could reset the timer to 0 under a certain condition and still have it increment afterwards?

[red flower]

have a variable that holds the current time, that's your time 0, and when you want to check the current timer you do getTime() - variable

[hybrid shadow]

bunp

[hasty mist]

this is the code im working with, it's supposed to increment chips by 1 per second from game launch, and decrement chips by 1 per second if you haven't clicked in over 60 seconds

but i think ive done it incorrectly

[red flower]

assignments go outside returns yes

but that looks correct

[hasty mist]

wait

i forgot the calculate function hold on

[red flower]

the logic makes sense to me, you just need to have ast.idle as the last time they clicked

and check if anticheat > 60

[hasty mist]

so like this?

[hasty mist]

anticheat is set to true if ast.idle is greater than 60

[red flower]

when you do ast.idle >= 60 you should be doing anticheat >= 60

[hasty mist]

huh why

thats the function setting the anticheat to true

unless im missing something

ohh wait

i see

nvm nvm

[red flower]

oh and context.cry_click should go in calculate right?

you need to set ast.idle = getTime() there

[hasty mist]

well, theoretically you could exit to the main menu and idle there then to get around the anticheat

[red flower]

no but context doesn't exist in update

[hasty mist]

ah

fuck

alright then

[red flower]

also update doesn't run in main menu

so it doesn't matter

[hasty mist]

it does though

the joker increments in the main menu

[red flower]

oh yeah because you get the time

well idle takes care of that

[hasty mist]

so this is how i should do it?

[red flower]

no, in calculate instead of anticheat = 0 do ast.idle = love.timer.getTime(), you want that to be your time 0 (and also you can't read a calculate local in update)

[hasty mist]

ah 😭

[sleek siren]

I'm facing a strange problem, apply_to_run doesn't seem to work with vouchers without cryptid, but works when I have cryptid?

does someone know a fix to this?

[hasty mist]

ok i did this very wrong

[maiden phoenix]

Vouchers uses redeem

If you mean vouchers don't show up in your deck, you can init them in the config table like Zodiac Deck does it here config = {vouchers = {'v_tarot_merchant','v_planet_merchant', 'v_overstock_norm'}}

[sleek siren]

so I'd use card:redeem()?

[maiden phoenix]

Yes

[sleek siren]

Oh! Ok! ^^

Thank you!

[maiden phoenix]

G.FUNCS.use_card works too but it might have weird behavior

[hasty mist]

this is broken, what did i do wrong? when the timer hits 60 seconds it instantly becomes -120, regardless of whether or not i clicked

[maiden phoenix]

Especially if gotten during booster packs

[digital sun]

i was thinking of hooking into something but im not sure where to hook into
i couldnt find the function setting the amount of money you get from each blind in blind.lua

[red flower]

if it works after 60 seconds then the logic is ok, i think the problem might be in cry_click?

[hasty mist]

cry_click happens whenever you click, this is supposed to set the timer back to 0 when you click

[red flower]

does it happen tho

[hasty mist]

i dont think so

[red flower]

try printing something

[faint urchin]

This might be a bit confusing so lmk if I need to clarify but I have a card that triggers when a two pair of face cards is triggered, but the way I have it written right now a hand like (KH KH QH QH 3H) wouldn't trigger even though it is supposed to. So is there a way to specifically get the cards that are in the two pair or is there a better way to do this?

[hasty mist]

for some reason it doesnt work

which is weird because its always worked before

WAIT

i know why

it's cry_press

[sleek siren]

Is there a way I can make it so that it doesn't make me pay for the voucher?

[hasty mist]

not cry_click

either way it still goes into the negatives instantly whenever the anticheat is true

which isnt supposed to happen

[maiden phoenix]

Add this to the card ability card.ability.couponed = true

or card.cost = 0

with card:set_cost() afterward

[red flower]

context.poker_hands["Two Pair"] is a list of all the two pairs contained in the hand, so you need to check if any of them has all faces

[hasty mist]

its only supposed to decrement

[faint urchin]

so would i do for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.poker_hands["Two Pair"])?

[red flower]

you're setting it to negative the time, you would need to use the current chip value to decrement

[wheat jewel]

I'm trying to make the config menu show options to turn music for a joker on or off but it isn't working

anyone have any idea what's going on?

[red flower]

yes BUT it wouldn't be playing_card it would be poker_hand and then you do a nested loop on poker_hand

[faint urchin]

ok got it, thank you

[manic rune]

how can this be nil???

sob

[sleek cliff]

eeeeugh

[red flower]

is table.contains a thing or did you define it

[manic rune]

its a lua thing

actually, is it

i never defined it

im gonna cry if its from a mod 😭

a lot of mods use table.contains

so im pretty sure its a lua thing

[red flower]

i assume you replace all center with card but card.children.center is what you want there

[manic rune]

is it because

a mod fucked up table.contains or something

🤔

[sleek cliff]

there we go, much better

[red flower]

i dont see it

[manic rune]

wha

but even malverk uses it...

[red flower]

does it define it

[manic rune]

oh wait nevermind

seals on everything defines it

:3

and malverk too

bleh

thought it was a lua thing

im honestly very surprised that its only reported now

sob

[red flower]

everyone uses malverk lol

[manic rune]

true

[wind steppe]

how do i add a tooltip to a joker?

[red flower]

info_queue

[rapid stag]

how can i make a joker debuff itself in a way that will be removed after the blind is over, but still retain that state if the run were quit out of and loaded?

i've used SMODS.debuff_card() before, but i don't know that it serves my purpose?

[red flower]

the way i would do it is use SMODS.debuff_card and then hook SMODS.calculate_context to rebuff all of those jokers at end of round

[sleek cliff]

what would be the context of beating a boss blind?

[rapid stag]

yeah a quick test of SMODS.debuff_card() proves my suspicion that any cards you debuff that way don't auto undebuff when the blind's over

[red flower]

yeah they don't

[red flower]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss

[glossy hill]

is there a way to completely disable animations? I'm running game speed 1000, but it is still too slow

[wind steppe]

what are you trying to do that needs to go so fast

if it's scoring animations talisman does that

[sleek siren]

How can I check if a playing card has no enhancements?

[red flower]

not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[sleek siren]

Thanks! ^^

[glossy hill]

card discarding is too long for my run (60 rebates :D)

[wind steppe]

install talisman

turn on "disable scoring animations"

profit

[hasty mist]

why am i getting a compare table with number crash on this

no matter if i to_big the numbers or not

it still crashes

[red flower]

what's arrows

[hasty mist]

hyperchips and hypermult stuff

arbitrary operators

[red flower]

can i see the config

[manic rune]

yeah you are still comparing a number with a table here

[hasty mist]

-1 basically means addition

[manic rune]

to_big(300) is a table

card.ability.extra.arrows is still a number

[hasty mist]

yeah but it persists no matter if i to_big everything or not

[manic rune]

you want to use to_big(card.ability.extra.arrows) too

[hasty mist]

ohhhh

that would make sense

[mystic river]

does anyone know how to get the on-screen location of a joker
ideally the center of the sprite

[shut crater]

I think that's card.T.x and card.T.y but this is from memory

[sleek cliff]

here we go again

[red flower]

Spectral uppercase

[sleek cliff]

ah

[shadow perch]

anybody have a clue what the problem here is?

[wild escarp]

Can someone help me out with this? I'm trying to track any hands not played at the end of an ante so I can level them up, and I don't have a hot clue what I'm doing.

local SMODS_calculate_context_ref = SMODS.calculate_context
function SMODS.calculate_context(context, return_table)
    local played_hands = {}
    if context.before and context.main_eval then
        played_hands[#played_hands + 1] = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played
    end
    return SMODS_calculate_context_ref(context, return_table)
end

[red flower]

you want to make it a variable in G.GAME instead of a local

[wild escarp]

And would I want this in with my other SMODS.calculate_context, or is it better to have two?

[red flower]

both work the same, it depends on how you want to organize it

[glass scaffold]

Looks like your Deck Creator mod is misconfigured.

[shadow perch]

And how do I fix that?

[glass scaffold]

Each mod's path SHOULD look like:

.../Balatro/mods/mod name < --- CORRECT!
.../Balatro/mods/mod name/mod name <--- Nested! (Bad)

If it's the Deck Creator mod I think you're using, they did something weird with how the files are arranged.

[shadow perch]

The strange thing is that I was unaware that I had a mod like that.

[glass scaffold]

Then it's probably easier to remove it.

[shadow perch]

Good news. I fixed all of the mod paths and I don't get that error anymore, but now I've got a new error 😢

[glass scaffold]

What mod is AxUtil?

[shadow perch]

I have no clue.

[glass scaffold]

Screenshot and send your mod list.

I might deduce it from that alone.

[glass scaffold]

Why do you have .Lua files with your mods?

Try removing those files first

[shadow perch]

Got the same error.

adjusted modlist^

[wild escarp]

Now with this code I get a crash, line 339 is the first line here.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss then
        if #G.GAME.willatro_played_hands then
            return {
                level_up = true,
                message = 'Level Up!'
            }
        end
    end
end

local SMODS_calculate_context_ref = SMODS.calculate_context
function SMODS.calculate_context(context, return_table)
    if context.before and context.main_eval then
        G.GAME.willatro_played_hands[#G.GAME.willatro_played_hands + 1] = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played
    end
    return SMODS_calculate_context_ref(context, return_table)
end

Forgot to attach crash:

[glass scaffold]

You may need the crash log (grabbed via doing CTRL + C on a crash) for someone to look through.

[shadow perch]

I found Util.lua

Got rid of the mod that contained it and got this instead.

I can just delete the mods that cause errors until it works, but I have a feeling that all of them might end up needing to be deleted

[wild escarp]

Yeah, probably just completely reinstall your mods.

[shadow perch]

Reinstalled the initial mod that was causing an error and it still gave the same error

[hasty mist]

this has been driving me insane for days

what is wrong here?

crashes upon hover

[manic rune]

have u tried starting a new run

[hasty mist]

yes

[shadow perch]

I fixed the other errors, but it seems there is an error with Lovely

[modern kindle]

that was alot fo text

[wheat jewel]

i'm trying to make a joker give money but it keeps crashing at line 802

[shadow perch]

Won't let me copy and paste it like normal

[glass scaffold]

Do you have LOVELY's .DLL set as an Exception in Windows Defender?

[shadow perch]

I do not

[glass scaffold]

Set it as one. That DLL gets commonly flagged as an injector for a virus, thus Windows stops it from working.

(Thanks, Windows. Very cool)

[shadow perch]

I believe that I set it as an exception, but I'm still seeing an error.

and it still won't copy the crash log as a .txt file

[glass scaffold]

Make sure it's set. If it is and you're still seeing errors, then something is horribly wrong. Maybe.

[shadow perch]

Is this correct?

[glass scaffold]

Yep, you got it.

[shadow perch]

Still getting an error.

[glass scaffold]

I've got no idea. You have a lovely and smods folder in your mod folder and the .DLL is set correctly.

Someone else may know what's wrong.

[mystic river]

this does seem to get something position-shaped, but it doesn't seem to be comparable to the mouse position as retrieved from love.mouse.getPosition()
does anyone know a solution to this?

a quick search of the source is suggesting G.CURSOR.T
i'm going to try that

hmm. this somewhat works, but card.T and G.CURSOR.T aren't using the same coordinate system

[grand sage]

how do i properly format the suits so that they are seperate as i am currently getting an error

[wheat jewel]

i'm trying to make an econ joker but it keeps crashing when I try to make it give money at line 804

can anyone help me understand why it crashes?

[sleek cliff]

Idk why it is printing nil

[daring fern]

Because your not putting anything through loc_vars?

[wheat jewel]

i keep getting an error at line where it says the value of dollars is nil

[daring fern]

What line?

[wheat jewel]

line 805

lemme uhh

put the line numbers

[daring fern]

Try return {dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars}

[wheat jewel]

it works yayyy

[sleek cliff]

ok, so how could I reset the counter back to 0

[daring fern]

You set it 0 in the if

[hasty mist]

does smods have a server?

or some forum of discussion

[slow brook]

#1349064230825103441 message

It’s somewhere here

scroll a bit down and it’s in the second message

[hasty mist]

ty

[sleek cliff]

would it be something like this?

yes it would cool

[slow brook]

couldn’t you just do it inside the event right before returning true?

[sleek cliff]

maybe idk lol

[slow brook]

if it works it works right

[daring fern]

No, I meant in the first if

[sleek cliff]

surprisingly, the code I put works (just w/o the set)

[slow brook]

set it to 0 right after increasing it by 1? isn’t is supposed to be 3 to work?

[daring fern]

I meant the second if

[slow brook]

oh yeah that’s what i said aswell

[umbral zodiac]

is there a way to just change a joker into another joker
trying to make a consumable that replaces all instances of one joker type with its corresponding other type

[daring fern]

Yes.

[umbral zodiac]

that being.?

[slow brook]

joker1key:set_ability(„j_modprefix_joker2key”)

if you want to change it to a vanilla joker you dont put anything into modprefix

[umbral zodiac]

oh thats what set ability does

interesting ty

[daring fern]

Yes, but no it would be card:set_abilty(G.P_CENTERS['j_modprefix_key'])

[misty shoal]

probably a better question for here, does this feel balanced?

[slow brook]

maybe, I don’t remember exactly but I didn’t use G.P_CENTERS in my code, what is that for

[manic rune]

abilty :3

[daring fern]

Your mod will crash with cryptid if you don’t do that.

[manic rune]

would be better if its $2

[slow brook]

then i guess i have to write cryptid as incompatible in my mod

[wise walrus]

I'll look over alternate ways to code this in the morning (its 1am lol), but is there a specific reason why this is running 4x times rather than once? I'm trying to have it so when the 'Wicked' card is drawn to hand it does -1 discard and discards your entire hand

[hasty mist]

i feel like im going insane here

what's wrong?

[slow brook]

probably because you drew that wicked card 3 times in a row

and it takes 4 discards at once because it probably calculates it all before actually doing all animations

[daring fern]

Is it a problem within the shader?

[wise walrus]

Yeah I did end up drawing the card 3 times, but first one causing -4 discard i have no idea how to fix

Even before implementing the discard I used a print line and it did it 4 times rather than once

[hasty mist]

that was it, the shader had a different name internally to everything else

[slow brook]

but it does -4 discards as whole or the first one does -4 and the others try to do -1

[hasty mist]

this joker is such a pain in the neck

oh my god

the typo

[wise walrus]

It did -4 discards as a result of the first Wicked card instance. The others do -4 discards as well, but in the case of the clip they don’t because 0 discards remaining

[misty shoal]

is the github wiki the best place for info on smods because I swear I can never find some basic info on things here

[slow brook]

oh okay that’s weird, probably something in the for loop line

[slow brook]

yeah it’s hard to find stuff in there at first but it’s the best place for everything

[misty shoal]

hmm alright, it just feels like there's not enough documentation past events and custom content, like how current hand is defined or referenced, or how to get an edtion.
though i could just be missing it..

[mystic river]

there's unfortunately a fair amount of stuff that isn't documented yet, or documented well
people are working on that but it's slow going

[slow brook]

yeah kinda lacking all the basic stuff like all G. stuff or just a list of all built in functions etc

[misty shoal]

thank you I wanted to so specifically the G. stuff but I thought I'd sound like a moron

1 year into a bachelors of compsci I can program A CLOWN CARD BY MYSELF

[slow brook]

atleast theres a list of all the colors you can do

[misty shoal]

yay

[shut crater]

Don't forget to look through the pages on API documentation and Utility functions, people sleep on those but there are some hidden gems in there

[misty shoal]

yeah that has been helpful too

[shut crater]

Also VanillaRemade > ExampleMod
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/64936206517d5cc132b14a117c15e1473e460a06

[misty shoal]

I have been using that too but sometimes I want to do things slightly not vanilla and then it gets tough

[shut crater]

I hear the Cryptid mod has kinda done everything

But I have not played it nor have I really looked at it so I cannot confirm

[misty shoal]

yeah I bet it'd be a good resource but I haven't played it

[shut crater]

But as a CS teacher with a bachelor's in CS, I feel this

This is certainly the best modding experience I've had though, easier to jump in with balatro

[misty shoal]

oh definitely

[slow brook]

you teach counter strike? that’s so cool hell yeah

[slow brook]

yeah cryptid did my 3 hours of work in literally one line

[lofty sand]

anyone know if/how I could make a joker remove the selection limit in booster packs?

[daring fern]

You mean you can take more cards from a booster pack or you can highlight more cards in a booster pack?

[shut crater]

anything is possible but that sounds wild

[lofty sand]

take more, like being able to use all planets, tarots, spectrals, jokers, and cards

[lofty sand]

wild as in busted or hard to do lol

[shut crater]

the red card synergy goes crazy

[lofty sand]

that was the idea lol

[shut crater]

bit of both

[frosty rampart]

there's a joker in polterworx that does exactly that iirc

[shut crater]

sounds like it will almost definitely require a patch

[daring fern]

Try looking at Off By One from Cryptid?

[lofty sand]

I have another joker that destroys cards with seals and makes booster tags from those, I thought it would be REALLY funny to get that, this one, and red card

[lofty sand]

I'll check it out

[frosty rampart]

the joker i mentioned doesn't seem to use a lovely patch, but it does hook the Card.open function

[runic pecan]

How do I run a context through a playing card (the calculate functions of Stickers, Seal, Edition, and Enhancement on that card)?

[lofty sand]

any chance you remember the joker name?

also is polterworx new alminac or smth?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lofty sand]

neat, wacky mod

[daring fern]

?

[frosty rampart]

yea it's that one

[lofty sand]

that sounds like the one

I couldn't find it at first, I thought I was getting it confused with almanac

and then I realized

[misty shoal]

Making my prized slug worth a joker could be cool..

[shut crater]

Also I'm late to this but that feels very strong, you can just farm $5 per hand with basically no prerequisite, and it scales with retriggers

[misty shoal]

well only if you have splash

[shut crater]

Wait it says played cards earn

But then when scored

So probably it should be worded scoring cards

[misty shoal]

I see what you mean

[runic pecan]

Which page in smods wiki has the guide of SMODS.calculate_context?

[misty shoal]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

I think

[runic pecan]

There is a brief section about SMODS.calculate_effect, but no SMODS.calculate_context.

[misty shoal]

ah

[daring fern]

None, because all you do is SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_contextname = true})?

[runic pecan]

Then how do I get the return tables?

[daring fern]

You do card:calculate_joker({modprefix_contextname = true}) for every card in a joker area?

[runic pecan]

Does find_joker include debuffed joker?

[daring fern]

SMODS.find_card does if you tell it to.

[timid star]

does someone know why it don't show my high contrast atlas

yeah im doing a generic nothing suit

[daring fern]

What does the atlas look like?

[daring heron]

I dont think that’s the atlas

[timid star]

i used a function to auto generate atlases for me

[daring fern]

No, I meant how did you define it compared to the low contrast one.

[timid star]

the key is supposed to be nosuit_hc

while nosuit_lc works

[daring fern]

What if you did it manually, would that work?

[timid star]

nope did nothing

if the path was wrong it would give me an error

[daring fern]

Also wouldn't it be ```lua
atlas = {...}
if v[4] then
atlas.atlas_table = ...
atlas.frames = ...
end
SMODS.Atlas(atlas)

[timid star]

huh

[timid star]

either way it still doesn't do anything

hc still shows the hearts suit for some reason

did something change with the parameters

no idea whats going wrong

oh

oh.

[timid star]

it was fucking misspelled

this is why you quadruple check people

[faint yacht]

...could I somehow sort specific cards in the deck to be always last for drawing?

[daring fern]

Yes.

You mean at the bottom of the deck?

[frigid raft]

Hi guys

[faint yacht]

yeah.

[frigid raft]

DualSenseDude is streaming on youtube

[daring fern]

You would just hook CardArea:shuffle I think.

[faint yacht]

...what exactly do with said hook? table.sort?

For this example, always have Bonus Cards be last...

[faint yacht]

table.sort(self.cards, function (a, b) return a and a.config and a.config.center_key ~= 'm_bonus' and b and b.config and b.config.center_key ~= 'm_bonus' and a.rank < b.rank end )
```?

[daring fern]

I think you would do something like this but backwards: https://github.com/Aikoyori/Balatro-Aikoyoris-Shenanigans/blob/main/modules/hooks/general.lua#L1224

[faint yacht]

...this really shuffled a headache into existence.

[misty shoal]

how can I give a consumable that already has an edition

maybe remade perkeo will be of help actually..

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = "Consumeables", edition = "e_modprefix_key"})?

[misty shoal]

also how can you do polychrome text

like it shows what polychrome does on the side, smods examples all seem to incorrectly use {C:dark_edition}Polychrome{}, which shows negative

[slow brook]

wdym

[manic rune]

thats info_queue

in loc vars

[misty shoal]

oh is that a different thing

[slow brook]

yeah all those pop ups on the sides are info queues

[manic rune]

it adds the extra info boxes next to the description

[misty shoal]

ahh I see

I thought it had to do with the text format mb

[runic pecan]

bump

[manic rune]

🤔 can you be more specific

[slow brook]

what does that mean

[manic rune]

ohh

dont modded seals have calculate built in though?

same goes fro stickers, editions and enhancements

[runic pecan]

And does SMODS.calculate_context guarantee to run through the card?

[manic rune]

SMODS.calculate_context makes it so a new context is added, the timing is whenever its run

it should work for all calculate functions afaik

so yeah

[daring fern]

All editions are dark_edition?

[misty shoal]

I misunderstood how it worked

got it now

[misty shoal]

Is there an easy way to have a joker debuff/undebuff itself

couldn't find many examples of that

[red flower]

depends on what you mean by easy

#💻・modding-dev message

[misty shoal]

Yeah seems the main issue would be undebuffing itself

[hard mica]

tried that and it doesnt do antyhing lmao

[daring fern]

No crash or anything?

[hard mica]

nope

[daring fern]

Try keeping that and putting this in your code somewhere:

local oldcalcseal = Card.calculate_seal
function Card:calculate_seal(context)
    print(self)
    return oldcalcseal(self, context)
end

[long sun]

is there an SMODS method that counts Jokers with a particular key?
