[manic rune]

saber animations were really disappointing

[spice wadi]

I'm working on a mod for a game I've basically quit

[manic rune]

and shes my motivation to grind hsr

so it kind of demotivated me a lot

its only the ult that i think is cool

[normal crest]

really? she looked fine to me

[manic rune]

other animations are like, 4*-quality

[keen totem]

what do yall think of the quadratic formula joker

[normal crest]

castorice is the outlier tbh

[manic rune]

have you seen her other animations

asides from the ultimate

[normal crest]

yeah

[manic rune]

i think its pretty bland

like, i will argue that xueyi's animations look more satisfying 😭

[keen totem]

whats with needing to publish source code

is that for like the mod manager

[normal crest]

honestly true

[spice wadi]

I like the idea but where's the rest of the sprite

[keen totem]

its a short sprite

[manic rune]

i wouldnt mind if the animations quality are like, on par with 2.x 5* at least, but her animations are just... lackluster?

[keen totem]

like half joker

[wind steppe]

what it do

[manic rune]

doesnt help the fact that shes in the same version with phainon too

and phainon animations are just insane

[outer basalt]

thats actually a similar to my idea. i dont really know how it would be implemented though. kindof like equipment esque for your jokers. let me just flex a bit on my drawing skillz

[keen totem]

a is hands, b is discards, c is $

the plus-minus sign is

• for chips
  '-' for mult

[wind steppe]

what is x

[keen totem]

x is +chips and +mult

[spice wadi]

I think part of it is security
Using tools like GitHub makes version control much easier
Also makes it easier for people to add support/crossmod for your mod as well as bug fixing and such

[manic rune]

and a lot of important reruns in 3.4 like tribbie, with phainon and 2 collab characters is just making my wallet cry

sob

[outer basalt]

i put all my skills into drawing and dumped coding. Except Python. I'm good at Python for some reason.

[keen totem]

i mean like

what point do you need to publish it

[manic rune]

oo super cool

[keen totem]

cause idk where you actually publish balatro mods

[manic rune]

reminds me of yellow diamond from steven universe actually

[wind steppe]

here if you want to

[normal crest]

i think the collab banners will last more than one update

[red flower]

do you mean what's in the rules?

[keen totem]

here, thunderstore, and that one mod manager right?

[outer basalt]

meanwhile me chilling with castorice with only a bailu and lynx as the ONLY HEALERS on my account, happy and satisfied bcs i got all my characters I wanted

[manic rune]

thats true, but what if 3.5 also has good limited chars

[outer basalt]

thats a lie actually I got gallahger on castorice's banner but hes barely built rn

[keen totem]

(i hate thunderstore's publishing to my very core tho)

[normal crest]

i will admit that sucks, personally i just don't bother with trying to get a specific character

[red flower]

i got castorice and no one else from >3.0

is that good

[manic rune]

same

[outer basalt]

YES

[gusty iron]

i had a cool boss blind idea, and i want to know if its possible.

"The Anomaly."
"Replay the same boss blind 8 times."
"If there is an anomaly, please lose the blind."

[manic rune]

though the dot buffs are very nice

[keen totem]

please

[normal crest]

castorice is quite broken

[spice wadi]

That's actually a great question I'm not sure

[manic rune]

dot team's average cycles in moc lessened by like, 3c now

[keen totem]

is there a base SMODS thing for ^mult

[normal crest]

i got both castorice and anaxa, won both 50/50s at ~75 pity

[keen totem]

or do you need to customcode that

[manic rune]

damn

[red flower]

no, you need talisman

[normal crest]

i'm more happy with anaxa than castorice tbh

[outer basalt]

i have dragon, butterfly, and meaning of death autism so ofc i needed castorice

[normal crest]

he's my favorite character so far

[keen totem]

oh

i just custom made it myself

[outer basalt]

i didnt even see her kit before getting her

[manic rune]

pales in comparison to phainon, the power creep both animation-wise and power-wise is insane ngl

[rustic swallow]

how do i make soul_pos use a different sprite than the base joker sprite

[outer basalt]

just that she has a MASSIVE FUCKIN DRAGON

[manic rune]

your image should have both the soul and the joker sprite

[keen totem]

theres the predicament, talisman crashes my mod and i dont know why

[red flower]

i mean you can but ^mult doesn't go that far without bignum

[normal crest]

i think castorice animations are more satisfying than phainon

phainon's feel like they could belong to any random gacha turn based game

[red flower]

are you attempting to compare a number with a table

[keen totem]

yes

[red flower]

yeah thats talisman

[keen totem]

its the part where it compares amt in common_functions

[rustic swallow]

so the game determines what the soul_pos should do?

[manic rune]

soul_pos uses the same atlas as pos, like i previously said

aka the same image

[outer basalt]

and since i am rambling now. The first guy. is the joker im coding now. and i feel like its so fitting that he's being such an ass to coding. Disenfranchised Stem Kid </3

[manic rune]

mmm fair, im not a huge fan of castorice so maybe im a bit biased there lol

[keen totem]

should i put the name of the mod im working on in my name or is that just something some ppl do

[outer basalt]

you just hate whimsy /lh /j

[manic rune]

sob

[red flower]

most people do it
i dont like it because my name is too short so people call me by the mod name lol

[normal crest]

i guess for me i haven't spent money in the game so I don't have any kind of attachment to it

i don't expect anything out of it

[keen totem]

my mod name is just my username

so

[red flower]

i spent a lot on hsr

that reminds me i need to but the battle pass

[manic rune]

ive been playing since 1.1, so yeah

:3

silver wolf buff is super cool

[normal crest]

i started in 2.6

[keen totem]

all of my mods in any game are just "CGNik's [whatever the mod adds]"

[manic rune]

r/acheronmain is going wild now

[normal crest]

are you still playing it

[rustic swallow]

so then how do i get soul_pos to only apply on the joker image, and leave the background normal like all legendaries

[manic rune]

wuh

[red flower]

yeah

[manic rune]

what do you mean by that

[normal crest]

pos is the normal image, soul_pos is the floating sprite

[outer basalt]

i haven't either yet i just have so much luck that i always manage to get my favs <3

[manic rune]

im currently playing zzz and pgr, i think i might like hack and slash games

[outer basalt]

I'm also playing zzz yooo

[keen totem]

i am playing too many incremental games please help me

[manic rune]

balatro zone zero coming soon

[normal crest]

do you play on na, if so i'd like to add you ingame

[outer basalt]

played it once wayyy back and kindof hated it at first but now I love it sm

[normal crest]

my favs become the characters i get lol

[red flower]

no i play eu 😦

[normal crest]

aw

i wish they added cross region friend lists

[manic rune]

same

[outer basalt]

i have already committed to like 2 different mods but - i can make art

[red flower]

the ping is crazy tho im just there because my friend is italian

[rustic swallow]

then how do i tell the game which sprite to use for soul_pos

[normal crest]

soul_pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }

change x and y accordingly

position in the same atlas as pos

[manic rune]

-# that was a joke
i already have balatro star rail, and i still intend to expand on that lol

[normal crest]

i live on south america so my ping on na is bad too

it's like 180ms most of the time

[wind steppe]

why does my achievement not pop up visually?
code:

SMODS.Achievement{
    key = 'deathbypineapple',
    hidden_name = false,
    hidden_text = true,
    bypass_all_unlocked = true,
    earned = false,
    unlocked = false,
    reset_on_startup = true, -- uncomment to reset achievement. Should be a onetime thing and then the player goes "dont do that again"
    unlock_condition = function(self, args)
        return args.type == 'deathbypineapple'
    end
}
SMODS.Joker{ -- Pineapple implementation. TODO: fix achievement
    key = 'pineapple',
    config = { extra = {
        xmult = 3
    }
    },
    pools = { ["Food"] = true },
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 2,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = false,
    perishable_compat = false,
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        elseif context.end_of_round then
            G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
            G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
            check_for_unlock({type = 'deathbypineapple'})
        end
    end
}

[manic rune]

still very proud of this little guy :3

[wind steppe]

i can hear it pop up and checking the mod settings shows i got it but it doesn't appear visually

[normal crest]

big chicken

[outer basalt]

😔 fucked up.
Mayhaps i can just think about the cards. because i dont want to code like a million more.

[normal crest]

sushang and lynx were the two characters that made me see hsr as an absurd comedy game tbh

the other characters all had serious animations

[manic rune]

lynx and her bigass pill

[normal crest]

i used lynx so much too

[manic rune]

what about m7 hunt tho

[outer basalt]

lynx was deadass my only healer for ages

[normal crest]

by the point i got m7 hunt i was used to it

[keen totem]

this just game me an idea

[outer basalt]

I was scraping by with. SUSTAIN WELT

[normal crest]

also it really fits her

[manic rune]

yeah true

cant wait to see her new 5* form in hsr

[keen totem]

X5 Mult in a common joker, but at the end of the round it goes Eternal and loses all effects

[manic rune]

i think 3.5 will have another form of dan heng, if im not wrong

[red flower]

i started the game with bronya seele bailu tingyun

[normal crest]

oh?

will it actually be good

[manic rune]

i started the game with silver wolf, yanqing, gepard and someone else i forgot

:3

[normal crest]

i have dhil and i never used him

[manic rune]

lost 50/50 to yanqing

fuck

[normal crest]

dhil and his light cone

[red flower]

as my boyfriend

[outer basalt]

He still one of my best characters if only because i keep dumping all the free eidolons onto him for a stupid ass bit

[manic rune]

he will be a pres unit

[wind steppe]

[normal crest]

I played all the early game with yanqing xueyi lynx and someone else

[wind steppe]

why is gacha in the balala modding channel

[rustic swallow]

but that just uses my background for the joker, how do i tell it to use the actual joker

[normal crest]

got yanqing on the beginner banner

[outer basalt]

wait ya we should move

[manic rune]

i have yanqing e2 rn

:3

[outer basalt]

the gacha discussion

[manic rune]

true

[red flower]

uhh we're talking about balatro star rail

[manic rune]

yeah #1338562637453066240

[outer basalt]

oo

[normal crest]

what's your atlas rn?

[manic rune]

-# check it out btw

i think the cocolia boss fight is cool

[normal crest]

i haven't touched balatro in months

[red flower]

balatro star rail is like one of the top 5 mods i played this year

[normal crest]

i mean the image

[rustic swallow]

oh

[manic rune]

aw thanks, the mod is so incomplete that i dont expect anyone to even find it fun at all 😭

[normal crest]

afaik you can't define different atlases for soul and normal pos

[outer basalt]

my early game was uh. Welt with his Light Cone, Kafka, Lynx and Robin w/ her Lightcone

[manic rune]

im considering adding light cones to bsr

:3

[normal crest]

that reminds me, I loved Welt at first, but he was very underwhelming

Anaxa is just better welt

[outer basalt]

you dont understand the bit

[manic rune]

oh no, welt was fine for me, dps welt was cool as hell

[normal crest]

i got him on 2.7 :(

[wind steppe]

[manic rune]

im pretty sure i told you the soul sprite needs to be in the same image as the joker

[manic rune]

unfortunately never used SMODS.Achievement before

-# and i think very few people used it too

sorry

;(

[outer basalt]

my robin is also like. beefed up as like a sub dps.

[rustic swallow]

yeah but then how would the game separate them

[normal crest]

you need to add the soul pos in this atlas

[manic rune]

separate?

[normal crest]

just add a different joker slot on the right of that and put the soul sprite

so you get two joker sprites side by side

[rustic swallow]

ohh

[manic rune]

im very proud of my jingliu build

[normal crest]

anyway i got him in 2.7 with the free selector, i imagine he was better back then

with weaker enemies

[manic rune]

got like, 3k5 atk, 40/280 crit

though shes gonna switch to hp-scaling, so

gjamlds

[spice wadi]

Yeah I didn't even know it existed for a good while
My next mod is gonna be just adding an achievements section to the stats or collection or smth so that people notice and care about them more

[manic rune]

and i dont think she needs that much crit dmg anymore too

[normal crest]

yeah she gets a lot of crit dmg in the buffs

[manic rune]

rip my SSS/OP relic pieces

i spent ~6 months grinding for her

[normal crest]

prob better to go for ice dmg (i don't have her tho, so ignore me)

[manic rune]

:(

[manic rune]

yeah, ice orb, everything wants hp%

[wind steppe]

its me hanging chad

[red flower]

bepis can i give you 50 dollars to manage my relics for me

[manic rune]

i also have full dot team too, so thats cool

[manic rune]

😭 it cant be that serious

[red flower]

i hate metagaming

[normal crest]

personally idk the problem, sorry

[red flower]

i need someone to hold my hand and tell me exactly what to put on characters or i get bored

[manic rune]

i think only myst ever used SMODS.Achievement

[normal crest]

glad to seeing people use the Food pool tho

[normal crest]

use the recommendations

[red flower]

cryptid too no?

[manic rune]

yeah fair, i guess you are a casual player

[manic rune]

no i mean, people who used it in here

a

[normal crest]

i never farm relics, I just craft them

[red flower]

yeah those are cool i was honestly going to quit the game before that lol

[normal crest]

i did a bit on the 3x drops but i got trash

[manic rune]

i use prydwen to figure out what build i should have for my characters

super cool website

[normal crest]

i use that for end game stats mostly

[red flower]

same

[spice wadi]

Garbshit (my beloved) does as well
I'm gonna add achievements for the full release of my mod

[manic rune]

i will also add achievements to yggdrasil soon, just uh, when i get the art done :3

is this good actually

[outer basalt]

oh god the soul_pos discussion is gone my shitty diagram is useless

[outer basalt]

very???? the background is immpaculate

[manic rune]

im new to pixel art so

[normal crest]

yes this is very good

[wind steppe]

peak

[normal crest]

is that for yggdrasil

[manic rune]

:3 aw thanks

[manic rune]

yes we are having a collab with balatro star rail

[normal crest]

skill tree mod?!

[manic rune]

skill tree, crafting mod

yggdrasil was initially not planned at all, actually

bsr was supposed to have a skill tree as one of its updates

but people wanted it to be a separate mod of its own, so

[normal crest]

is it a library for skill trees or a content mod

[manic rune]

both

[normal crest]

:D

[outer basalt]

i opened my art to see which character i was working on next and its the reason i dumped all my free eidolons into welt 😭

[manic rune]

you can add your own sections and skills very easily, so yeah

[outer basalt]

well. he doesnt look much like him in this era

but the second card for him will be much more welt-y

[keen totem]

how do i make a joker eternal

[manic rune]

:add_sticker("eternal")? not sure if thats the key

[signal rose]

like always be eternal or when its spawned by something

[keen totem]

when triggered to be eternal

[normal crest]

card:set_eternal()

i think

don't look at me if it's wrong tho

[manic rune]

seems like it

[red flower]

i want to make this animation look a bit nicer..

[faint yacht]

:set_eternal(true) and :set_eternal(false) to add/remove respectively.

[manic rune]

it would look nicer if the card is flipped faster

[normal crest]

what if you dissolve the card

[manic rune]

and maybe some shuffle effects?

[normal crest]

or is that too much

[outer basalt]

maybe if it moved to the left a bit as its being flipped over like in an arc

[red flower]

i agree i did make it faster later

i feel like dissolve would make it look like they are being destroyed, same with shuffle, i dont want them to think the deck is shuffled

[outer basalt]

this is the best visual i can make

[red flower]

evil

[keen totem]

yeah

how do i get the tag of the current blind

[red flower]

hmm i dont get it

[outer basalt]

like to give it a more natural feel than just turning over in place. It makes it look like its actually being grabbed and flipped over.
Like adding anticipation to the animation can make it clearer and easier on the eyes

[red flower]

my problems would be solved if the deck drew from the top like a normal deck would lol

[outer basalt]

oh is it from the bottonm??

I mean I think my idea still works lol its just extremely cursed to me

[red flower]

oh ok i like the idea but im not doing that lol i would prefer not to mess with the standard flip animation

[outer basalt]

ah

[normal crest]

i think the flipping animation looks fine

you're right that the disappearing feels a bit sudden

[outer basalt]

maybe just like throwing them off to the side with a little fade?

[red flower]

yeah, I don't know how to make it look like it's the top card of the deck

(because it's actually not in the deck)

[red flower]

wdym like discarding them to the side?

[wind steppe]

[outer basalt]

like just a simple transition whilst moving them to the side? Now that I think about it im not sure thats what you were going for

[keen totem]

and also creating tags

[red flower]

im trying to show the top x cards of the deck

[outer basalt]

okay

[manic rune]

chat will i win

[red flower]

there are going to be effects that depend on hitting a certain rank/suit/enhancement etc

[normal crest]

add_tag(Tag('tag_something'))

[red flower]

yes

[normal crest]

don't remember any tag ids

[wind steppe]

no

[keen totem]

do you know how to get the current blind's tag?

[normal crest]

uhhh

[wind steppe]

cryptid does that i think

[keen totem]

(like how that one cryptid joker does)

it does

[manic rune]

sob

[normal crest]

it's buried somewhere in G.GAME.current_round or smt

i don't remember exactly but if you have debugplus you might be able to find it easily

[red flower]

that's the best joker in the mod

[manic rune]

true

[normal crest]

what are the other pages of trash

i need to know

[manic rune]

one sec

[outer basalt]

hm. the best thing I can think of is the original idea i had. Or making it slower actually, since it might make it a bit easier to understand whats going on.

OR maybe particles coming out from the card when its 'put back' think like dust ?

Not sure how feasible either of those would be

[red flower]

a bit slower would be annoying i feel, someone already asked me to do multiple at once lol

[manic rune]

classic balatro stuffs yk

[red flower]

yeah this is just a polterworx joker

[normal crest]

Insane eidolons

Infinite money

[manic rune]

polterwox joker but balanced
-# i think

[outer basalt]

balatro players hate animation i can't live in this economy (animation major) /j

must have fast dingding ding number Bigggg

[red flower]

i mean this is supposed to happen once a blind so i get it

[outer basalt]

I also understand not wanting it to be slower LOL animation is all about making sure you can see whats happening while gaming is all about speed

[manic rune]

i might actually have to nerf kafka later

its still crazy how good she is just from eidolon 0

[normal crest]

you can't!

you have to buff her along with the game

[manic rune]

sob

[red flower]

i am going to have a log where you can see the cards after the animation anyway

[normal crest]

also from what I saw it seems they made the buffs optional

[manic rune]

yeah

[normal crest]

so you still can use the old versino

[manic rune]

but lets be honest, why would we want kafka to be worse

[high sinew]

@red flower this right? crashing game

[normal crest]

for comparisons!!!

[manic rune]

i get it for jingliu since her build is completely different now

true

[red flower]

kafka is my fav hsr character probably

[outer basalt]

mhm. I was coming from a readable animation so you can tell whats happening vs. just getting information fast

[manic rune]

same

biased since shes my first dps too

:3

[red flower]

it should be

[signal rose]

any quick way to find whats triggering G.FUNCS.text_input_key, because i can't figure out whats calling it at all

[high sinew]

doesnt work for some weird reason

[normal crest]

search the entire source code for "text_input_key"

it's prob called in ui elements

some definition of an ui element that specifies that func

[high sinew]

heres my color define btw

[uncut cloud]

hope this helps, i recently made one for testing purposes

[signal rose]

its triggered by 6 things, none of which should be interacting with this as far as i can tell, ill test all of them out tho

[high sinew]

how u call this for local text outta curosity tho?

[normal crest]

could also be other mods, or even steamodded itself

[manic rune]

i need a button in the middle

[signal rose]

well right now im just trying to make it possible to type 0 into create_text_input, and while bepis has done it in yggdrasil, and that method 100% works, i want to try and make a way that won't cause a mod conflict
nevermind, i was just doing the patch wrong lol

[red flower]

pom pom button

[normal crest]

it plays a very loud pom pom sound

[uncut cloud]

i havent really checked, but i would GUESS you just replace the hexes with the locals tho, if anything dont forget to add {}s around the locals

[red flower]

you also need a button in between those and the joyousspring graveyard

[normal crest]

you need a button on every empty space

[manic rune]

good idea

[normal crest]

if you click the correct one you win the round

otherwise the game closes

[high sinew]

@uncut cloud pretty sure i did tho

[red flower]

let's replace all card based gameplay with buttons

[manic rune]

otherwise you are obligated to do a x10 in hsr

[manic rune]

s:1.2

and removes the spacing

[outer basalt]

this is just actual hsr now

[manic rune]

{C:purple,s:1.2}

[normal crest]

blasphemy, i always did s:1.2 first

[red flower]

i want to play the new hsr story but hundred line is so long lmao

[manic rune]

i did the color first

:3

[unborn bay]

hi bepis

hi n

[red flower]

hi hayaya

[normal crest]

i actually enjoyed the new hsr story

[manic rune]

also, from what i heard, ||everyone fucking dies in the story??|| story spoilers

[high sinew]

aight ill try

[manic rune]

hi haya

[normal crest]

||yes they do||

[red flower]

everyone fucking alright

[manic rune]

truly a heartwarming story

[uncut cloud]

hm

i did see that in your screenshot you were missing these idek if its actually needed but if i take em out i crash so

[outer basalt]

how is he still triggering multiple times 😭 what the hell is happening

[high sinew]

pretty sure it doesnt have to do with scaling its the enfuse word

[manic rune]

yeah, thats just something i noticed

[normal crest]

i learned to treat the story as a book

[manic rune]

also, probably unrelated but update smods

[high sinew]

this is prob it not being in a table great call

[normal crest]

it finally allowed me to truly enjoy it

you don't expect fancy animations from a book anyway

[outer basalt]

i usually play them as background noises lol

[high sinew]

unrelated lol

[uncut cloud]

👍

[outer basalt]

sometimes even sleep to them

[normal crest]

i can't imagine sleeping to them

and waking up to mem

mem mem mem

[red flower]

well you set the flag to 0 each time so it's not going to make a difference

[outer basalt]

yes. i just noticed that 😭

[manic rune]

mmm never used SMODS.Gradient before so idk

[outer basalt]

i dont really like. actually fall asleep i just get super tired and then turn it off and then go to bed so no mem <</3

[manic rune]

fell asleep while doing hsr story once

[normal crest]

that might mean it's so boring u get sleepy

[high sinew]

nw i got it lol

[normal crest]

what did you wake up to

[outer basalt]

OH MY GOD IT WORKS

[manic rune]

wake up to see 10 am turning to 7 fucking pm 😭

felt like i was in a dream, cant explain ihy

[red flower]

is it? I think the color thing was added after your version

[high sinew]

oh lol ill update XD

[uncut cloud]

does anyone have any idea why this doesnt work
this' a joker btw im testing a part of it rn and havent been able to get a sticker on another joker

[normal crest]

i imagine the characters in the game waited for you for 9 hours to speak

[manic rune]

trailblazer spacing out for 9 hours and they can do nothing about that

[normal crest]

there has to be a horror story about being an npc in that scenario

[manic rune]

wouldnt be surprised if theres a niche side story about that tucked in a hidden corner somewhere

[normal crest]

what part doesn't work? also use not context.game_over instead of == false

[red flower]

idk if add_sticker works but if it does then it's probably :add_sticker() with a colon

[normal crest]

nil == false is false apparently

[red flower]

i use == false because aure said so one time

[uncut cloud]

this' probably it

[red flower]

that game_over means something when its nil

[normal crest]

huh

[manic rune]

oh thats new knowledge

[red flower]

but idk if that's true

[normal crest]

probably not important enough

unless it's smt new from smods

[red flower]

but anyway if you see it it's because they're copying my vanillaremade stuff

[outer basalt]

I think my cat fixed it cause as soon as she started hanging out around my laptop it worked <333

[normal crest]

noted

[hybrid shadow]

is it possible to do smth inside a calculate function that counts up like

      for k, v in pairs(G.play.cards) do
         if v:is_suit("Hearts") then
           suits = suits + 1
         if v:is_suit("Spades") then
           suits = suits + 1
         if v:is_suit("Clubs") then
           suits = suits + 1
         if v:is_suit("Diamonds") then
           suits = suits + 1
end```

?

[uncut cloud]

yup, that was it, thanks yet again

[normal crest]

you can do this anywhere as long as G.play.cards is defined

[hybrid shadow]

yeah i used it on another joker bc it looks through the played hand apparently

[red flower]

you can also use context.full_hand

[outer basalt]

And even with this-- his code isnt fucking done

[hybrid shadow]

in any case this should work as intended where it counts up based on the suits in the played hand right? or will i need smth to reset it after it's used?

[red flower]

no it's a local so it will reset every time

the only problem is with wild cards probably

oh wait i thought those were eleseif

[hybrid shadow]

wdym?

[red flower]

you wrote

if cond then
    code
if cond then
    code
end

so i read those as elseifs

if they're elseif they're not going to count wild cards properly

[hybrid shadow]

since they're just if, do they count wild cards properly

[red flower]

probably

[manic rune]

i think good coders will throw up reading yggdrasil's code

[red flower]

i throw up reading any code not made by me

[manic rune]

even eremel's? damn you got some ego

[red flower]

i throw up reading any code not made by me in the last 3 months

[manic rune]

a

[sturdy compass]

Oh my god I just pulled SMODS to find out Eremel finally pushed a universal hand limit API

At long last

[vagrant cedar]

Guys I am become lost

[manic rune]

yeah its super cool

[vagrant cedar]

I'm trying to make a consumable

[manic rune]

🔥

[vagrant cedar]

That when used, creates a specific Joker

[red flower]

i want my PRs to get merged

[outer basalt]

I hate looking at the code of my headmates 😭 girl why is it all hardcoded

[manic rune]

SMODS.add_card({key = ...})

[sturdy compass]

And despite this I STILL need a patch to make it work with challenges 😭

Whatever at least it's less destructive now

[red flower]

i actually want aiko's pr to get merged

[manic rune]

yeah it looks super useful

[outer basalt]

I actually formed because our host wanted to get itno gamedev but kinda sucked so then I happened and now I do all the coding for him

[manic rune]

i gamedev because roblox sucks

[hybrid shadow]

how would i make a deck where all the cards have one enhancement

[sturdy compass]

This is an insane statement LMFAOOOOO

Same body makes code in two wildly different styles 😭

[outer basalt]

okay so our first project was inspired by pressure but we were so adamant about not doing it on roblox so we learned gdscript. only to learn that we couldve been doing lua the entire time

[vagrant cedar]

like this?

[red flower]

i love godot but ive never finished a game

[manic rune]

pressure fucking mentioned

@glad osprey

[sturdy compass]

gdscript is admittedly pretty neat

[glad osprey]

hello

[red flower]

hi

[manic rune]

removes then

[glad osprey]

peshr

[sturdy compass]

hello quid

[outer basalt]

its actually really complex considering STEM is a part of trauma for us so the knowledge of it gets chopped up and hidden from people and I happen to just have more of that knowledge :3

also hi

[glad osprey]

I am not biritsh

[manic rune]

gdscript, like, geometry dash script??

[sturdy compass]

ok quid

[outer basalt]

im an (not introject but close enough) of our pressure au oc lol

[red flower]

anyway i should sleep i work tomorrow

[outer basalt]

byeee

[hybrid shadow]

like i know cryptid does this but also its cryptid and the other code from it ive tried to use doesnt work at all so...

[hardy viper]

opnly british people like teto

[outer basalt]

thanks for all your help

[manic rune]

N', is using math.huge in this case valid

:3

[rustic swallow]

how would i set up the soul_pos so that only the joker is used?

[vagrant cedar]

do I replace it with and?

[sturdy compass]

Fascinating alter lore ngl

[manic rune]

no

[vagrant cedar]

or just remove it and move the other part to the next line

[manic rune]

yes

[vagrant cedar]

ok

let me test that

[outer basalt]

its in our oc lore too so :p

[sturdy compass]

lol nice

[manic rune]

also, gn N'
-# i read that too late i think

[outer basalt]

I assume you can just move the normal pos to a completely transparent square?

[manic rune]

pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
soul_pos = {x = 1, y = 0},

[rustic swallow]

worked, thanks!

[manic rune]

talking with yall was so nice i forgot to code my mod for like 2 hours wtf

sob

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

Honestly kind of a mood tho

[wind steppe]

real

[high sinew]

found issue since it still was crashing does the table for colors need to be number? i have input as hex string but lsp def says other

this too was with it

[outer basalt]

😭 i wish </3 it can't make me forget the suffering to code that SHOULD but WONT work

grrr

[sturdy compass]

Dev chat is supposed to help make that easier on ya lol

[manic rune]

i think im good enough with ui now, hopefully?

the past 1 week of ONLY working on ui made me want to poke my eyes out so badly, but at least they work now

-# eremel will still probably kill themselves reading my mod's code

[wind steppe]

before i go does anyone know why my achievement does not pop up visually?
code:

SMODS.Achievement{
    key = 'deathbypineapple',
    hidden_name = false,
    hidden_text = true,
    bypass_all_unlocked = true,
    earned = false,
    unlocked = false,
    reset_on_startup = true, -- uncomment to reset achievement. Should be a onetime thing and then the player goes "dont do that again"
    unlock_condition = function(self, args)
        return args.type == 'deathbypineapple'
    end
}
SMODS.Joker{ -- Pineapple implementation. TODO: fix achievement
    key = 'pineapple',
    config = { extra = {
        xmult = 3
    }
    },
    pools = { ["Food"] = true },
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 2,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = false,
    perishable_compat = false,
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        elseif context.end_of_round then
            G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
            G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
            check_for_unlock({type = 'deathbypineapple'})
        end
    end
}

[manic rune]

sadly no :(

[outer basalt]

it was kinda funnt because

[outer basalt]

as a tip idk if you do this, but sometimes i put random ahh print statements to see if everything is functioning fine and if that section of code is actually being run thru

also.. death by pinapple...

anwyays uh. how to destroy card. I've been so focused on moving the card i. realized i dont know how to do this

[wheat jewel]

Idk what happened but a joker that's supposed to be retriggering isn't retriggering jokers at all

[glad osprey]

I will

tell tanger

something idk wjat

[sturdy compass]

Visually? Does it unlock silently???

[wind steppe]

no i can hear it

[sturdy compass]

She won't care lmao

[wind steppe]

it just doesnt pop up visually

hold on let me send a recording

[sturdy compass]

That's kinda what I meant

hmm

[glad osprey]

I will tell her that you killeded myself :/

[outer basalt]

I know about context.destroying_card but i don't know how that works? would destroy_card = card be the card i want to destroy?

[sturdy compass]

She still wouldn't care

[glad osprey]

fair enough

[sturdy compass]

Honestly using card:start_dissolve() is the best way at going about it

[outer basalt]

poggers

[sturdy compass]

where 'card' is a reference to a card object

[sturdy compass]

I wonder if it's some weird conflict with the states changing

[outer basalt]

off topic but the card textures

[wind steppe]

maybe?

how do i delay something

[sturdy compass]

maybe slap your unlock check in an event??

Just an idea

[rustic swallow]

how would i make context.remove_playing_cards include all playing cards removed instead of just if a playing card is removed?

[wind steppe]

like this?

        elseif context.end_of_round then
            G.STATE = G.STATES.GAME_OVER
            G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    check_for_unlock({type = 'deathbypineapple'})
                end
                return true
            }))
        end

[sturdy compass]

ye try that

[wooden nexus]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
            for i = 1, self.config.extra.DupeAmount do
        local new_card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
        new_card:set_seal(nil)
        new_card:add_to_deck()
        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
        table.insert(G.playing_cards, new_card)
        G.hand:emplace(new_card)
        new_card.states.visible = nil
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                new_card:start_materialize()
                G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(new_card)
                G.hand:sort()
                return true
            end,
        }))
            end
        end
    end,
}```

Why is this not working with Hologram?

It's a seal btw, (is that why it's not working?)

[wheat jewel]

i'm trying to make a retrigger joker but it isn't retriggering any jokers to the right

[wind steppe]

had to move return true to inside func but it just doesnt grant the achievement now

[sturdy compass]

Now that's quite odd

[wooden nexus]

Any ideas?

[sturdy compass]

Specifically not hologram? or is it all jokers

[outer basalt]

this was so remarably easy compared to everything else im a bit suspiscious.

[sturdy compass]

LMAO

[wooden nexus]

Well the seal creates a copy of itself, so specifically hologram

[wind steppe]

do stone joker and steel joker properly update?

[sturdy compass]

Oh I see what you mean now

[wooden nexus]

Stone does properly update

[vagrant cedar]

Guys, anybody know what I did wrong here? I'm not getting a crash, the card shows up in game, but it doesn't let me click use.

[wooden nexus]

Both do update

It's just hologram

[sturdy compass]

My guess is copy_card doesn't actually trip the playing_card_added context

[wooden nexus]

DNA trips it

[wind steppe]

does dna do it itself then?

[sturdy compass]

hm

it does

[sturdy compass]

AH ok I see how DNA does it

[wind steppe]

why is it designed like this

lmao

[sturdy compass]

there's this funny extra thing in the return that probably trips it

So maybe do this in your seal?

[faint yacht]

I just playing_card_joker_effects(addedcards).

[glad osprey]

where are decks defined in the source code (the decks themselves, not the class)

[wind steppe]

why are you looking at the balatro source code itself and not vanillaremade

[sturdy compass]

Why am I not looking in there I fkn contributed to it 😭

[glad osprey]

because I'm trying to make a mod not dependant on smods

[wind steppe]

that is a death sentence

[glad osprey]

ok you got an answer or

[wind steppe]

no

probably in card.lua

[wooden nexus]

lemme try rq

[outer basalt]

how to i implement my own custom colors?

[sturdy compass]

in game.lua I think

[wooden nexus]

SMODS.Seal {
    key = "Silver",
    atlas = "BCU_centers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 5},
    config = {extra = {DupeNum = 1, DupeDenom = 2, DupeAmount = 1}},
    discovered = false,
    prefix_config = {
        key = {mod = false}
    },
    badge_colour = HEX('B1B1B1'),
    shiny = true,
    sound = { sound = 'gold_seal', per = 1.2, vol = 0.4 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {self.config.extra.DupeNum, self.config.extra.DupeDenom}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
            for i = 1, self.config.extra.DupeAmount do
        local new_card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
        new_card:set_seal(nil)
        new_card:add_to_deck()
        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
        table.insert(G.playing_cards, new_card)
        G.hand:emplace(new_card)
        new_card.states.visible = nil
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    new_card:start_materialize()
                    G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(new_card)
                    G.hand:sort()
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            return {
                card = self,
                playing_cards_created = {true}
            }
            end
        end
    end,
}```

And... nothing

[sturdy compass]

true probably isn't what you want, you wanna return the card you created in that table

[sturdy compass]

In what sense? Do you wanna have a constant or just as a one-off

[outer basalt]

Im assuming id either need to insert them into Args.loc_colors or make my own ?

[wooden nexus]

i'm so confused

[wind steppe]

dna does this

                func = function() -- This is for timing purposes, it runs after the message
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { copy_card } })
                            return true
                        end
                    }))

[glad osprey]

nope :D

[outer basalt]

oh hello. (i was backreading when you replied lol} I'd like them constant so i can type out like {C; Aether} and get the color associated with that character

[glad osprey]

will investigate next

[outer basalt]

i think i found them once before because I was VERY lost on my fist attempt at modding. godforbid i remember though

[high sinew]

im not sure honestly what im doing wrong tested with norm colors in game and still crashing anyone know?

[outer basalt]

back.lua

[wind steppe]

[sturdy compass]

The way I implemented this sorta functionality was with a lovely patch but there are probably some better ways out there to do that

[glad osprey]

not what I'm looking for

[sturdy compass]

Those are just localization calls, not the objects

[glad osprey]

^

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know what card area that cards in packs are in?

[glad osprey]

G.pack_cards

iirc

[wind steppe]

G.pack_cards

[umbral zodiac]

ty

[glad osprey]

that's where they be ty

[sturdy compass]

u got it

[high sinew]

anyone know?? plz...

[outer basalt]

theyre lower down there

[sturdy compass]

That's the functionality of the deck, not the deck object

[wheat jewel]

i'm trying to make a joker retrigger jokers to the right but it doesn't do so

[outer basalt]

OH

yeah that would be game.lua 😭

[umbral zodiac]

how could i forcefully move a card from g.pack_cards to g.consumeables
trying to make a card that forces itself into your consumables if you see it at all

would it just be emplacing it in consumables or smtn else

[wind steppe]

try destroying it on creation if its in pack_cards and then creating it in the consumables

[wind steppe]

maybe other way around

[umbral zodiac]

yeah alright

[sturdy compass]

check for a self:juice_up

Looks like a rogue self error lol

[wind steppe]

should be card:juice_up() afaik

[sturdy compass]

What is getJokerID()??

[wooden nexus]

there is none

[sturdy compass]

Hmm

[outer basalt]

THIS SCARED ME SO BAD I THOUGHT I BSOD'ed 😭 why is the crash like this

[sturdy compass]

well something's not happy about you trying to juice it up

[wind steppe]

blue jumpscarw

[sturdy compass]

Your consumable type doesn't have any color attributes

[outer basalt]

i never made any consumables

[wooden nexus]

So what do I do then? add a juice_up?

[sturdy compass]

No, there's an existing one that you have that doesn't like what it's being called on

I think

[sturdy compass]

Did you lovely patch something?

[outer basalt]

no. i renabled cryptid though? idk if something went weird with it

so logically i disabled it again and now i get this

[sturdy compass]

Did you make a rarity? 😭

[wind steppe]

i think balatro has decided to delete all its important files

reinstall it and steamodded

[outer basalt]

no

[sturdy compass]

Also it's typically best to develop with a clean environment (no other mods you don't intend to develop alongside)

[outer basalt]

yeahhh thats why i disabled them but i wanted to study something from cryptid

I'm gonna restart my computer bcs i was having random ass issues with JenLib earlier for no apparent reason that restarting fixed (it wasnt even modding related. it just hated me)

[sturdy compass]

1. If you wanna do that just pull up the github lol
2. Cryptid is notoriously bad to study because of it's self-defined conventions built on old modding standards that are well outdated

[outer basalt]

fair enough

[wind steppe]

the only reason to look at cryptid is if you specifically want cryptid compatibility

and you dont have it yet

[sturdy compass]

Or it does something nothing else does and you wanna figure out how

[wooden nexus]

Well i looked through my code and the only juice_up that could be related is the one for the spectral, but that's impossible to be the juice_up it's dealing with

coding while food poisoned. yaaaay

[sturdy compass]

Looking closer it's in common_events.lua so it's no one of yours

[sturdy compass]

Dude get some rest oml

[wooden nexus]

I can't sleep because of it

[sturdy compass]

blegh

[wind steppe]

you have to try anyways

[wooden nexus]

I wanna get this seal working before i try

[wind steppe]

what do we think

[outer basalt]

Okay resetting did not work. Looks like I'll either need to reinstall or replace files cause I do just have another copy of the files on my computer. Because I was very lost on my first foray into modding.

That's a thing for tomorrow me though. I'm going to take this as a sign from God to Cease

[wheat jewel]

i'm trying to make a joker retrigger other jokers to the right but it doesn't do it, does anyone know what's causing that issue

[sturdy compass]

Make it change to random colors on init and then we're talking

/j

[wind steppe]

i would do that if i knew how

[wooden nexus]

I got no idea tbh

[sturdy compass]

Yeah no that sounds like a mess lol

[willow nimbus]

are there any other documentations outside of steamodded's github?

[outer basalt]

Seems easy from a game dev perspective. Idk how well it would work in Smodded

[wind steppe]

i could also just make multiple recolored versions

[sturdy compass]

#1349064230825103441

[willow nimbus]

much appreciated, thanks

[sturdy compass]

np

[wooden nexus]

So what's my issue then?

[outer basalt]

https://youtube.com/shorts/TTA-4SNSPxQ?si=TvqCVs5mb1_-QYI-

[sturdy compass]

Find the line the crash report gives you and the surrounding code will help diagnose it

[outer basalt]

Balatro mention in the video I believe lol

[wooden nexus]

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = (function() card:juice_up(0.7);return true end)
    }))
end```

that's where it's crashing

[wind steppe]

send us the whole error report

[sturdy compass]

where tf does juice_card get called 😭

[wooden nexus]

oop

[wind steppe]

you can send it as a file i think

[wooden nexus]

guess cause I have nitro it won't let me

[wind steppe]

thats great nothing there is blaming your code

[wooden nexus]

then what is it?

[wind steppe]

when you want to drink the card as juice

[wind steppe]

idk

[wooden nexus]

oh right, no sticker

What i do in this situation is put print statements everywhere to find exactly where the value got lost and turned to nil

Print my debugging beloved

[wind steppe]

does anyone know why my achievement doesn't pop up visually? i can still hear it and i still get it it just doesnt visually show up when its granted

    unlock_condition = function(self, args)
        return args.type == 'deathbypineapple'
    end

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key hm...

[wooden nexus]

Welp, guess for now it won't trigger hologram, idk

[outer basalt]

Looking at the smods documentations they need an atlas? So maybe it is there it's just invisible/no sprite

[sturdy compass]

Try Ali's idea instead of mine tbh

[wooden nexus]

where?

[sturdy compass]

this one

it's just a function call instead of a return value

[wind steppe]

i've had it pop visually when i made it grant on startup

i doubt its that

besides jokers arent invisible with no atlas

[outer basalt]

Interesting

[sturdy compass]

Achievements don't need any sort of atlas/sprites

[outer basalt]

Only other thing I can think of is maybe something going awry with the Loc_txt but I can really tell

[sturdy compass]

I still think it's some weird state shenannigans

[wooden nexus]

SMODS.Seal {
    key = "Silver",
    atlas = "BCU_centers",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 5},
    config = {extra = {DupeNum = 1, DupeDenom = 2, DupeAmount = 1}},
    discovered = false,
    prefix_config = {
        key = {mod = false}
    },
    badge_colour = HEX('B1B1B1'),
    shiny = true,
    sound = { sound = 'gold_seal', per = 1.2, vol = 0.4 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {self.config.extra.DupeNum, self.config.extra.DupeDenom}}
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
            for i = 1, self.config.extra.DupeAmount do
        local new_card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
        new_card:set_seal(nil)
        new_card:add_to_deck()
        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
        table.insert(G.playing_cards, new_card)
        G.hand:emplace(new_card)
        new_card.states.visible = nil
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                new_card:start_materialize()
                G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(new_card)
                G.hand:sort()
                playing_card_joker_effects(new_card).
                return true
            end,
        }))
            end
        end
    end,
}```

Like this?

[wind steppe]

the text shows up fine with the achievement if i look at it after i get it (or before)

[outer basalt]

Mym

You said it worked just fine on startup?

What would the ideal/intended unlock look like for this

[sturdy compass]

without the period and it takes a table of cards, not just the one, so just wrap new_card in {} for the function call

[wind steppe]

this is the ideal unlock (except i want to see it)

hold on let me show you the startup one

[outer basalt]

I'm not that good at reading code 😭

[wooden nexus]

wait so where do i put it exactly?

[wheat jewel]

Posting this again but i'm having issues with trying to make a joker retrigger another joker to the right but the retrigger never takes effect

[sturdy compass]

your call should look like this
playing_card_joker_effects({new_card})

[fading cedar]

I know this question probably gets asked a ton, but how accessible would you guys say modding this game is? I know you can unpack the game's files which has me started on making textures, but I wanted to know how difficult of a task you guys find making jokers are

[wooden nexus]

ok lemme try again

[sturdy compass]

Once you get used to it it's very easy ngl

[wooden nexus]

GRAH I'M GONNA THROW THIS

still isn't working

[wheat jewel]

can anyone help me with this

[fading cedar]

Oh awesome. Is there documentation of where to get started or things to keep in mind, or is it just kinda look at code and try to parse things together?

[sturdy compass]

#1349064230825103441

[fading cedar]

Oh sick thank you

[outer basalt]

Hard at first but this community, looks at. This chat in particular makes it so much easier.
Accessible in terms of what you need? All you need is a laptop that can run Balatro. VScode is free and awesome

[sturdy compass]

Pretty sure all of those things are in that thread lol

[wind steppe]

oh are they

[sturdy compass]

Just confirmed it lol

[wooden nexus]

Hologram is kicking my ass lol

[outer basalt]

I think this sums up learning to mod this game LOL

[sturdy compass]

hologram got hands...

Try calling the function after your event

[wooden nexus]

you know what's stupid that i should check

[outer basalt]

At least your card didn't fucking eat the files from your Balatro </3

[fading cedar]

Eat the files is crazy work

[wind steppe]

mmm yummy files

[wooden nexus]

Check What the heck does Hologram does in-code

[wind steppe]

tastes like spaghetti

[outer basalt]

Don't call my code spaghetti!!!

[sturdy compass]

I don't think it's a hologram issue, it's just a context issue since you're not getting it to trigger lol

[outer basalt]

Actually it's local thunks code I think

Or Smodded people's

[wind steppe]

yeah i meant thunks

[willow nimbus]

does anyone know what this means?

[wind steppe]

wasnt really designed to be looked at ig

[willow nimbus]

cant tell if its a stupid mistake of mine or if i installed something wrong

[wooden nexus]

elseif context.playing_card_added and not self.getting_sliced then...

I have never seen this before

joker tuah mult on that thang

scroll down

[willow nimbus]

IGNORE MY MOD NAME 💔 💔 💔

[willow nimbus]

alright

[outer basalt]

Or added to I suppose. Surprisingly my tendency to always make things easy and "modular" is from being a system and knowing someone else will look at it and try to code 😭

[wooden nexus]

why the heck is it called hawk tuah Balatro

[fading cedar]

I found a website mentioned in the ultrakill mod chat about a website for making jokers. Is this a reliable way to get the blueprint of a joker started or is it more for reference? Sorry for all the questions

[outer basalt]

Did u accidentally make a global variable called atlas

[wind steppe]

what website

also why ultrakill of all places

[fading cedar]

Idk it's the ultrakill balatro mod thread

[sturdy compass]

I think I know the one. Honestly it's better to just do it yourself for the experience

[fading cedar]

I was lookin around

https://www.balaui.dev/

This

[willow nimbus]

i dont think ive done that

hold on ill send the code

[outer basalt]

Or check your {} sometimes you accidentally put them where they aren't needed and send a table to something that doesn't need a table

[sturdy compass]

Yeah that's the one. Standing by this opinion

[wheat jewel]

Idk why this code doesn't retrigger jokers to the right without having another mod installed

[willow nimbus]

(again ignore my poor attempt at naming my mod)

[wheat jewel]

like the retrigger effect just doesn't work at all unless i had another mod loaded for some reason

[wind steppe]

G.GAME.blind.boss not context.blind.boss

[outer basalt]

I started with the Smodded example jokers mod thing. And asking a lot of questions!

[glad osprey]

where's the code that makes gold seal render differently than the others

[willow nimbus]

whoops

[sturdy compass]

Do you have the joker retrigger optional feature enabled

[willow nimbus]

im just going off of what i can find from searches in this channel 💔

thanks though

[glad osprey]

in the source code

[outer basalt]

Smodded example jokers was moreso to to get the "skeleton" of a joker and then you add on what you want from there

[wheat jewel]

Wait what?

What’s that?

[sturdy compass]

Add this to your main file
SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { retrigger_joker = true }

[wheat jewel]

Ok i added it now i’ll see if it’ll work

[outer basalt]

I feel like this is some weird Fucked up version of House MD where we're all trying to find the weirdest diagnosis 😭

[wheat jewel]

It works!!!

[willow nimbus]

i had a look and its happening here in the talisman mod

[outer basalt]

I forgot what happened to it

[willow nimbus]

is it meant to look like this or

[wind steppe]

good to know talisman is just as bad as cryptid

[sturdy compass]

LOL

If Talisman is causing the crash completely on its own you might just have a bad install

[willow nimbus]

huh

that's odd

let me try removing it then

[glad osprey]

nvrm found it in card.lua

[outer basalt]

Where'd you get your talisman??? From the shady man in the trench coat?

[sturdy compass]

...you weren't supposed to know that

[wind steppe]

snorting my spectral cards

[willow nimbus]

awesome it launches now

not sure why that was happening when it was launching FINE earlier

[outer basalt]

Dude I had a completely random crash happen with JenLib (aka polterworx dependency I think) for NO REASON. Didn't even change code in mine or JenLib. Restarted my computer. Completely fine.

[sturdy compass]

Polterworx a tiny bit smelly imo

[outer basalt]

Yes but it has Saint Rain world in it and for that, I will die.

[sturdy compass]

Yes but art theft is smelly

okay i have to go to bed gn yall

OH GOD

So, I heard you wanted Reserved Parking in your Arcana Pack

[outer basalt]

I don't fully understand the situation with that but I think they undid all the stolen art? Every thing seems credited when I've played jt

[willow nimbus]

is there a good way to check/test if a joker i made is actually in the game or not

[sturdy compass]

They did but it shouldn't have happened in the first place

[sturdy compass]

Get DebugPlus

[willow nimbus]

alr

thanks

[sturdy compass]

Oh wait you mean check if the joker exists in game

Just go in your collections

[willow nimbus]

i see

thats a problem because... it wasnt there

[sturdy compass]

Show your code

Actually wait do you have a metadata file

[willow nimbus]

[willow nimbus]

do you mean like the json that makes sure its picked up by the mod loaders

[sturdy compass]

yeah

[willow nimbus]

i do

[outer basalt]

I've heard other things about it. I do agree that it shouldn't have happened but idk holding it against someone when they're trying their best to make up for it 🤷 but this isn't the time or the place for this so

[sturdy compass]

ok then, is this joker code outside of your main lua file specified by that json?

[willow nimbus]

wdym

[sturdy compass]

So your json specifies a file as the "main file" correct?

[willow nimbus]

It does, yeah

[sturdy compass]

Is this joker code in that file or a different one?

[willow nimbus]

I only have one lua file

[sturdy compass]

hmmm ok

[willow nimbus]

which the joker is in

and its the one that the json says is the main file

[sturdy compass]

Did you remember to save the file?

[willow nimbus]

i think i did

ill save again just in case

[sturdy compass]

And you're sure there's not a 151st joker?

[willow nimbus]

nope

only 150

[sturdy compass]

weird

[outer basalt]

Is your mod enabled?

[willow nimbus]

it is

[outer basalt]

Aight

[willow nimbus]

wait actually

are mods compatible with lovely by default or do you have to add some extra stuff in

[sturdy compass]

They are

[willow nimbus]

huh

alright then

[sturdy compass]

Yeah this is weird

[willow nimbus]

i have cryptid installed as well but it's disabled

if that would make any difference

[sturdy compass]

Disabling it shouldn't make the difference

but it is good that you do have it disabled

really quick I'd highly recommend installing the Lua VSC extension in case you haven't. Could be something in syntax that's not coming up

[willow nimbus]

I did that

[sturdy compass]

Good but hmmmmmmm

this keeps getting weirder

[willow nimbus]

absolutely, im completely stumped

[sturdy compass]

If you don't mind could you shoot over the file so I could toy with it?

[willow nimbus]

like the whole mod or just the lua file?

[sturdy compass]

Whole thing actually. I wanna see if it boots for me

[willow nimbus]

alright, give me a moment

https://litter.catbox.moe/2dpi9c.zip

here

btw thanks so much for all the help with this i realize im taking up a lot of your time

[sturdy compass]

All good all good

ok that's weird

Dropping your mod into my environment made one of my mods' atlases come up wrong

so it might be your atlas that's the problem

[willow nimbus]

huuuuuuh??? ?? 😭

my mod is evil and cursed

what might be the issue with the atlas

[sturdy compass]

Oh my god I see it

[willow nimbus]

what is it...

[sturdy compass]

You're overriding SMODS.Atlas with this table 😭

[willow nimbus]

OH

MY GOD

IM STUPID

😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭

[sturdy compass]

One little equals sign causing all this havok lol

[willow nimbus]

well

THANK GOD we found the problem (equals sign)

[charred magnet]

i need help asap this is happening to all my code idk what happened

[willow nimbus]

again thanks so much

[sturdy compass]

Same goes for the Joker btw

[willow nimbus]

OKAY YES its in the game now

[charred magnet]

like what happened : (

[sturdy compass]

CECIIIIIIL

[willow nimbus]

LOL I FORGOT IT USED THE CECIL IMAGE

[charred magnet]

Undefined global SMODS.Lua Diagnostics.(undefined-globa

someone help please

[manic rune]

SEASALT

I NEED YOU SEASALT

[sturdy compass]

SMODS isn't a recognized global variable because it isn't defined within your mod's scope. It will work just fine as is

[charred magnet]

but its pissing me off

[manic rune]

open your entire mods folder then

it should disappear in which case

[charred magnet]

?

[sturdy compass]

Or you can hover over it and click quick fix and define as global variable

[manic rune]

what do you mean ? sob

[charred magnet]

thats what i did

[manic rune]

open your entire mods folder

[sturdy compass]

If it's still showing then reopen vsc

[sturdy compass]

Oh yeah btw this is also what was causing the error with Talisman earlier

[willow nimbus]

I figured, yeah

annoyingly means i gotta reinstall

[sturdy compass]

Boowomp

[willow nimbus]

by the way is there like a mod that exists that lets you give yourself cards/jokers

[sturdy compass]

That’s DebugPlus

[willow nimbus]

so i can give myself my jokers to test

perfect, thanks again

[sturdy compass]

Of course

Welcome to the hobby lol

[willow nimbus]

haha thanks

i HEAVILY underestimated how big of a challenge this was gonna be

[sturdy compass]

Honestly your actual joker code looked solid, it was just that one semantic issue lol

So I think you’ll be fine

[willow nimbus]

I mean I had to search like a maniac in this channel to get that together, "how to check if it's a boss blind" "how to check if you're scoring a face card" etc etc

[sturdy compass]

Deceptively simple answers tbh

[willow nimbus]

it's a lot to take in at once and annoyingly i think theres a lot in the github documentation it just doesnt go over

[sturdy compass]

That is very true, SMODS docs are pretty outdated

Def check out #1349064230825103441 if you haven’t, tons and tons of resources expanding further on the subject there

[willow nimbus]

Oh yeah I did have a look at that

[sturdy compass]

Dig deeper as needed, I wish I had it when I started out lol

[willow nimbus]

of course

thanks again!

[vale glen]

Multiple people in your system have an interest in coding? That's pretty cool! :o

[cinder cliff]

Why is it that when the example walkie talkie joker is triggered, the joker doesn't move like jokers usually do when triggered?

[scarlet imp]

Trying to make a Joker that permanently grants the player +1 discard when sold, kind of like a Recyclomancy voucher. Currently I have the following code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if not context.blueprint then
            if context.selling_self then
                G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards + card.ability.d_size
            end
        end
    end

But it's only applying the ability while the Joker is held (so it behaves like Drunkard rn)
Anyone got any ideas?

[faint urchin]

Is it possible to make a challenge where only specific jokers are allowed as to banning specific jokers? I want to ban every joker in the game except one for this challenge so I don't want to have to type out every other joker

[cinder cliff]

Where do I see the documentation of the context section of calculate?

oh wait I found it nvm

[slow brook]

can I have a joker that every round has the ability of a randomly picked different joker? not like blueprit, cuz it doesn’t work on all of them, but like turning into a different joker every blind

[daring fern]

You mean like any joker even ones that aren't present?

[slow brook]

no, jokers you have only

[cursive sentinel]

so having it copies the config, calculate, remove_from_deck, etc and all of a random owned joker?

wether it is blueprintable or no?

[daring fern]

That wouldn't work.

It still says not context.blueprint

And it wouldn't work properly if you don't set that.

[cursive sentinel]

quick question, got this check to find a joker although it doesn't seem to print anythhing at all, what have i done wrong?

local artofwar = nil
for _, j in ipairs(G.jokers.cards or {}) do
  if j.effect and j.effect.config then
      print(j.effect.config.key)
      --artofwar = j
      print("found")
      --break
  end
end
