replace cards = { new_cards } for cards = new_cards

#

hi n

wintry solar
#

yeah, it only works because there's an overarching pool of all consumeables

#

but the auto area determination doesn't catch it

weird

#

sorry i just got jumpscared and starstruck by a youtuber i like randomly messaging me

stark geode
#

hey does anyone know about pools

#

and how to remove things from them

#

im trying to prevent some vouchers from spawning when a joker is sold without using used _vouchers

tight notch
#

yeah

#

oh nvm

#

i thought you meant in the code

stark geode
#

im pretty sure if i remove the voucher from the pool they cant spawn anymore

elfin stratus
#

is there documentation on creating and adding cards to deck/hand?

why can i hear jimbo speaking infinitely and also can't actually see him say anything

#

what is wrong with this?

#

whenever a joker scores (holo) it just doesn't increase.

frosty rampart
#

it's context.other_joker.edition.holo, not ...edition.holographic

plain apex
#

can you check if other jokers do not trigger like how you can check if cards dont score?

frosty rampart
#

create_playing_card takes 5 arguments. the first one is a table, which contains values of front (the rank and suit of the playing card) and center (the enhancement of the playing card). the second argument is where the playing card goes (G.hand puts it into your hand). i forget what the others do but they're all false and nil so they don't particularly matter in your case lol

#

it's formatted a little weirdly, i probably would've indented the lines with front and center to make it clear that they're part of a table

i hate that function

#

lua should allow named arguments

hopefully someone can figure out the solution to this ![Prayge](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/869136865201119275.webp?size=128 "Prayge") 
currently the "bruhio" buff works only if "bruhio" is bought second, but not if "bruhio" is already owned. when "bruhio" is sold, the conditional to reduce the buffs back to normal doesn't get applied (debuffing itself already works, it just doesn't have a proper conditional)
it's meant to be +1 hand size $3 at the end of round at base, and +2 hand size $9 at the end of round when buffed

how do u remove the shadow from a joker? Like glass joker does?

card.no_shadow

wind steppe
#

wait actually i know what you should do

#

take ownership of negative and modify the weight based on the deck

analog spoke
# red flower card.no_shadow

I'm still a little confused lol 😭 like, do I just put this up with the atlas stuff as "card.no_shadow = true" or do I need to make a function of some kind? 😭

red flower
#

idk if there's a way to do it in the definition honestly

#

but setting no_shadow to true works so you might need to do it in set_ability

#

but maybe theres a better way

rustic swallow
manic rune
#

mm

#

how does your config extra look like

wind steppe
rustic swallow
normal crest
manic rune
#

seems like its all numbers tho

#

have u tried making a new joker, in case card.ability.extra.(x) is still a table?

#

wait

#

OHHH

normal crest
#

They're returning a list of one number

manic rune
#

remove {}

#

god damn i overlooked that

rustic swallow
#

yeah that worked

#

thx

why doesn't my hook work? the quip never shows up

manic rune
#

too used to return {} i just overlooked that 🥀

wind steppe

i think its the condition but idk why the condition is never true

#

okay

wind steppe
manic rune
#

keep self in para_jimbotalk_old

wind steppe
#

because there is no self

manic rune
#

huh

#

maybe thats bcz i hook differently

bold dust

inserted this:

i usually use function Card_Character.add_speech_bubble(arg1,arg2,arg3) instead

I am right on the brink of finishing this joker, but hologram only increments up once, instead of once for each new card added to the deck from this joker.

Already tried that, but then hologram shows text for each increment, instead of just doing text for the final count.

wind steppe
wind steppe
wild escarp
#

Yeah, but I don't like how it looks.

wind steppe
#

you could try taking ownership of hologram?

#

idk what you'd change though

#

considering the for loop's hardcoded: before the loop runs set a variable so that hologram doesn't show text and on the final loop reset that

rapid stag
#

is the steamodded github page imploding for anyone else?

wind steppe
#

wdym by that

you need to do cards = new_cards but you need to create the cards outside the event

oh more people are here

why is condition a never true when line b specifically sets it to true

vestal yew
#

for some reason my mod wont load in the second joker, how do i fix that?

image.png image.png
wind steppe
vestal yew
#

im trying to make it so if a King is held in hand it gains xMult and gets destroyed

wind steppe
#

zoom out

vestal yew
wind steppe
#

place a second end (indented one less time than the first) after the end for calculate

#

indent after the else in calculate, then deindent and place an end after remove = true

#

and the bracket at the end of the return that returns the debuffed message needs to be indented one more time

#

also remove the very last indent

wind steppe
vestal yew
#

so like that?

image.png
wind steppe
vestal yew
wind steppe
#

also remove the end in white

vestal yew
#

do the indents make that much of a difference?

wind steppe
#

yes

#

at least i think so

#

the ends i know matter

#

regardless its good practice to indent properly

vestal yew
#

the joker's still not loading in

wind steppe
vestal yew
#

yeah

wind steppe
#

send me the whole folder

vestal yew
wind steppe
#

do you have talisman

vestal yew
#

yeah why

#

it loads my first joker in fine without talisman

wind steppe
#

remove the number_format bits

#

also you should be returning xmult in joker_main

#

not xmult_mod

vestal yew
wind steppe
vestal yew
#

like i said, it loaded the first one fine with it

wind steppe
#

look idk either but something has to be stopping it and i know you dont need number_format

vestal yew
#

thats not whats stopping it though

stoic fulcrum
#

this is so hacky but it actually works KEKA
finally no more infinite hand size
now i need to figure out how to apply the damn debuff

maybe someone else can help you

A bit of a weird request but uh
Is there a way to retrigger specifically seals?
Like if I wanted to retrigger the red seal or the blue seal
Or does it have to be indirect by just recreating the effect

how can i know how many discards did i make in a round?

yours is better 😭

umbral zodiac
#

the difference between you and i is the fact that im dedicating way too much of my time to the dumbest idea ive been submitted so far

#

i have a whole list of things to do and the first one i do is "put minesweeper in a joker(????)"

snow vale
umbral zodiac
#

you got this

#

honestly this is not so complicated its just a lot of seperate moving parts

snow vale
#

i had the idea of making an orb of corruption that corrupted the joker to the left, but for that i would have needed to make a new edition, and i wasnt going thru allat just yet...

stoic fulcrum
#

has anyone had an issue where blueprint doesn't work properly with a joker
instead of both blueprint and the joker activating, instead blueprint activates first and the actual joker does nothing

#

i thought the issue was blueprint_compat being in the code but it seems whether i set it to true or i remove the line it doesn't matter

snow vale
#

ts aint working 😔

umbral zodiac
snow vale
#

it doesnt crash

snow vale
umbral zodiac
#

you are checking the amount of times they have discarded but not the amount of cards right

#

or is that unintentional

snow vale
#

o

#

so um

#

how do i do that..?

umbral zodiac
#

i dont believe there is a variable for it
you might have to just count it yourself

daring fern
snow vale
#

that didnt work

#

or wait

umbral zodiac

try adding one to a counter whenever context.discard is truthy and resetting at end of round

this joker works as intended, except that blueprint and brainstorm don't work properly with it
i tried removing blueprint_compat = true and readding it but regardless of whether i do or not it's the same thing
is there something else i need to add or remove for blueprint to work properly?
scarlet imp
#

the conditions all contain "not context.blueprint" that might be messing it up

hopefully removing them won't make blueprint do wacky stuff

let's try

im trying to do a deck skin mod

also bro's playing Silksong?????

#

when silksong releases (???) im going to significantly buff hornet because it'd be funny

scarlet imp
#

has it really been 2290 days or is that just a goated joke

umbral zodiac
#

slightly more, but it rounds the number down due to significant figures i guess

#

not exactly 2290 but between 2290 and 2299

stoic rapids
#

i bet everything on red that they announce a date in the summer game fest

scarlet imp
#

according to the nintendo direct for the switch 2 it has a 2025 release year

umbral zodiac

mmmnm,,, i heavily regret promising tauic versions of every single vanilla joker

scarlet imp
#

but yeah I bet it will have a realease date announced

stoic rapids
umbral zodiac

it updates by itself

#

oops wrong ss

thorn flame
#

Is game.update for the ante or

#

Something else

umbral zodiac
#

just set it to 0 at the start of the ante, by any other means

#

update runs every frame

thorn flame
#

I can count just fine i just dont know what the thing is for the start of the ante

#

ill see about it

I mean yeah

bro reprogrammed minesweeper for a damn joker

#

YO THAT GIVES ME AN INSANE IDEA

#

someone needs to make Doom on a Balatro Joker

umbral zodiac
scarlet imp
umbral zodiac
#

most of the code isnt even in the joker lol

#

there isn't a single thing in its calculate function

#

i might even keep it that way - mostly its just ability consumables that interact with the data stored on the joker rather than actually being the joker itself

scarlet imp
#

can someone link the patching API documentation

umbral zodiac
#

there cannot physically be 4 mines around the 4 in the top right unless its counting the center spot which it shouldn't be
also there are multiple nonsensical zeros

daring fern
thorn flame
umbral zodiac
#

strange

#

! i might be done with minesweeper in balatro (assuming i add the movement cards and the win/loss conditions)

scarlet imp
#

do I have this patch written correctly? when the card saves me in-game, the message during cashout is just "ERROR"

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "en-us.lua"
pattern = '''ph_mr_bones="Saved by Mr. Bones",'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
ph_1up="Saved by 1 Up",
'''
match_indent = true
times = 1
#

is it because the patch is applied to one of the localization files?

daring fern
#

You can just put that in your own localization.

scarlet imp
#

that's where the mr bones message is contained

daring fern

#

alright it worked perfectly, thanks

Feeling like I'm doing this wrong to make the additional "scoring" more consistent in terms of timing and trying to have them execute before "held in hand" abilities go off...

#

yea the issue was it was double counting x-1, y+1 relative to each bomb, and not counting x-1, y at all

#

i just forgot to change the y+1 to y

#

classic Ctrl-C Ctrl-V bug

shut crater
#

So no nested -1 to 1 for loop? 😔

umbral zodiac
#

unfortunately no

#

as much as i am not that bad at it
this is the first time ive used lua for a project before and as such i really dont like using for loops for things that isnt like. looping over a table

#

still adjusting to indexing by one

shut crater

Valid, I only joke cause my students literally just did their final project on implementing minesweeper in Python

umbral zodiac

oh lmao

Do they have to implement that or is it provided? Cause if they have to implement it then honestly I think minesweeper is easier. Granted, I provide a ui.py file and they just have to write the backend.

I was curious when I was initially prototyping them... just wanting to refine their effect to be more consistent now, as they "currently" score cards as their joker_main effect.

scarlet imp
#

maybe try switching it to something like final_scoring_step. Earlier I was experimenting with a joker that applies the Plasma Deck's balancing effect, and it seems that jokers that use the same context as Plasma:
context.final_scoring_step
apply their effects before the Plasma Deck's effect is applied

#

probably won't work, but just an observation I made while testing

faint yacht
#

Space Cadet's random rescoring of the scoring cards works as intended, more or less, it's just Rover that I need to get working so that it scores the deck before "held in hand" abilities kick in.

scarlet imp
#

does anyone know how to get the UI boxes that pop up next to certain things to appear? like foil, negative, red seal, eternal all add UI elements next to the description of what they're applied to

faint yacht
#

Tooltips, you mean?

scarlet imp
#

yes, thank you

gusty iron
#

would this joker be feasable to make?

Do side-quests.
For every 5 side-quests, make a negative tarot card.
For every 10 side-quests, make a negative planet card
For every 15 side quests, make a negative spectral card
For every 20 side-quests, spawn a negative legendary

solid mesa
gusty iron
#

so at 10, you'd get both the 5 and 10 reward

solid mesa
#

sounds cool, what type of quest you have in mind?

gusty iron
#

im thinking of having 4 different tiers/difficulty

#

and the harder the quest, the more it'll count as

#

so a tier 4 quest could be:

#

"One-shot a blind using a high-card."

solid mesa
#

the hard the quest the bigger the reward

gusty iron

yuh

#

ill be taking side-quest ideas btw!!

What are the payoffs?

burnt cairn
#

i disagree with a few of these categorisations

daring fern
burnt cairn
#

playing a hand full of face cards is objectively easier than a straight flush

#

even without the 1 face card cheese

solid mesa
# 
"play a hand made entirely with face card”

thats easy ngl

gusty iron
#

wait

#

wtf

#

why is that in insane

#

i swore i put that in easy

burnt cairn
#

and if you gear your build the right way you can oneshot most blinds with a high card

gusty iron
#

ill probably make it a boss blind then

#

or a finisher blind if im feeling evil

burnt cairn
solid mesa
#

the cards may have count to the quest?

scarlet imp
#

I'd argue a five of a kind is significantly easier to play than a straight flush

burnt cairn
#

yeah

#

straight flushes are definitely the hardest hand to play

gusty iron
#

ill probably swap those 2 then

burnt cairn
#

like no amount of deck rigging makes them entirely consistent

scarlet imp
#

exactly

#

flush house kinda has the same problem but less

gusty iron
#

just 5 cards

solid mesa
#

Sorry if I expressed myself badly, do the cards have to score in the hand to be valid for the quest?

gusty iron

but always assume scored

Are you intending to point it to a "center" or just have custom text shown?

just custom text

I just a patch to inject my own edition into game.lua and referenced it, but got the error

#

that said I think the statement is written wrong here, since even referencing the lucky card one for example doesn't work

daring fern

#

If you want just custom text that's not a "center", do info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = "prefix_key", set = 'Other'}... then point to your custom text stuff in the localization file.

the way it works isn't quite the same as other editions and I don't want it being applied to just anything like Foil or Holographic can be

You can search for SMODS.calculate_context in your lovely/dump folder, then make note of which context are called where, and what parameters are passed into them. Using Lovely patches and calling that function yourself can let you make your own contexts, too.

trying to make a joker that randomly selects a scored card to retrigger

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local _randomcard = context.scoring_hand[math.random(1, #context.scoring_hand)]
            for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do

            end
        end

but it retriggers every scored card

Not sure how retriggers work, but why not use pseudorandom_element for choosing a card?

faint yacht
# 
if context.before then
  -- Select one before anything happens.
  card.ability.extra.targetcard = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, pseudoseed('rngseed'))
end

if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only then
  if context.other_card == card.ability.extra.targetcard then
    -- we pass the check for the earlier randomly chosen card, repeat!
  end

if context.after then card.ability.extra.targetcard = nil end -- cleanup.

trying to see if there's a better way of implementing this without it stacking infinitely
the super hacky way i did this was to set the value to a variable value, then set that variable value to 0
this works fine if only two jokers are involved (and if i'm not doing discards, trying to do discards works at the cost of your ears), but if i want to implement three or more then i'd have to make hundreds of if statements to call for every possible combination jermaPluto

                            -- Adds - instead of +, so they get subtracted when this card is removed.
                            G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards - card.ability.extra.discard_size,
                            G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.hand_size)

                end    
            end
        end
    end
}```
Sooo, I have this code, what it should do is destroy any played diamond cards and add 1 to mult, but it does nothing. Does anyone have an idea?

context.other_card:is_suit('Hearts') is what I used

#

gotta put card = context.other_card in return tho

daring fern
cinder cliff
#

I did modify it

#

so maybe context.other_card isn't needed anymore

is there a way to make each repetition a probability check?
i want to make a joker that has a 1 in 4 chance to give x1.5 mult each retrigger (max 10 times, hence the retrigger cap)

i just realized i typo'd retrigger cap so ignore that lol

#

nevermind i might've found an extremely hacky and ugly way to do what i want

it's probably not true 1 in 4 so i likely need to tweak the pseudorandom

How do I add a seal to a card through a consumable?

add your mod's prefix to the play_sound call

eg play_sound("ModPrefixHere_SoundName")

north swallow
#

uhuh

#

so i have to do play_sound('xmpl_jokers")?

is your sound file in assets/sounds?

Yes

i don't think I've ever seen a string as a seed before

#

yea

spice wadi

#

i mean your explanation seems pretty standard as far as how rng typically goes

daring fern
spice wadi
#

I'm aware of that, it's shown in the example someone else gave

#

But I'm not going to assume their level of knowledge so I was just summarising what it actually means

thorn furnace
#

definitely totally unrelated question (i will stop flooding this channel with questions eventually I promise)
how do you add additional temporary hands
I saw some ease_hands_played() function in the vanillaremade thing with burglar but wasn't sure if that did everything because there was other code

red flower
#

that's for temporary hands yes

thorn furnace
#

Okii

summer furnace
#

Sooo, I am trying to make a joker that needs a specific suit to trigger (in this case diamonds) How can I see what suit is being played?

spice wadi
#

for example jokers like the greedy joker give mult per card

thorn furnace
spice wadi
#

while other jokers check if your hand contains specific suits rather than being per card

One sec lemme fix that im very dumb

#

There we go :3
Thank u

spice wadi
#

anyway can you answer my question so i can understand the effect you wanna make

summer furnace
#

I want to check if the played card is a diamond, if that is the case the card should be destroyed and the joker gains 1 mult

How do you get the amount of cards selected?

(And how to use can_use for consumables)

my game crashes if I use that and play a diamond calculate = function(self, card, context) -- Tests if context.joker_main == true. -- joker_main is a SMODS specific thing, and is where the effects of jokers that just give +stuff in the joker area area triggered, like Joker giving +Mult, Cavendish giving XMult, and Bull giving +Chips. if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then if context.other_card:is_suit('Diamonds') then return { mult = card.ability.extra.mult, -- This is a localize function. Localize looks through the localization files, and translates it. It ensures your mod is able to be translated. I've left it out in most cases for clarity reasons, but this one is required, because it has a variable. -- This specifically looks in the localization table for the 'variable' category, specifically under 'v_dictionary' in 'localization/en-us.lua', and searches that table for 'a_mult', which is short for add mult. -- In the localization file, a_mult = '+#1#'. Like with loc_vars, the vars in this message variable replace the #1#. message = 'Upgraded!', colour = G.C.MULT, remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff) -- Adds - instead of +, so they get subtracted when this card is removed. G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards - card.ability.extra.discard_size, G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.hand_size) end } end end

Does use need to return anything?

red flower
#

no

cinder cliff
#

just checking, the thing is whining about commas

red flower
#

this is in the docs btw

cinder cliff
#

I don't know where to look

#

can_use has no explination in the docs as far as I know

#

that I can find

red flower
#

can_use returns a bool
use doesn't return anything

#

I have seen that bit

red flower
#

i don't think it needs more explanation than that

cinder cliff
#

idk, i just stoobid

#

so in can_use, you just return true or false?

red flower
#

yes

cinder cliff
#

ok

#

How do I use card:set_seal, I can't seem to find it in the wiki

red flower
#

card:set_seal("sealkey")

cinder cliff
#

Where do I put it tho?

#

I put in in use, and it didn't work

#

I did include the prefix

red flower
#

you put it where you want to use it

#

can i see the code

cinder cliff

# cinder cliff

card is the consumable in that case so you're giving it a seal and then immediately destroying it

cinder cliff
#

I forgot that card refered to the consumable

#

so I would need to set card to the selected cards

#

G.hand.highlighted?

red flower
#

you need to loop through that list yes

cinder cliff
#

alright

#

G.hand.highlighted is enumerable then

hi, im new to modding balatro and wanted to make a joker that triggers if played hand is 3oaK and all played cards are hearts, how would I do that? I've already added the joker itself to the game, im just missing to make it actually work

or whatever the word was

What variable has the current chips/mult
I want to set the current chips/mult post-calculation to 0 and then store it in a variable

should start for loop with i=0 or i=1? I haven't touched lua before this

"Gives Chips equal to X1.5 of current Chips"

is that a good effect

context.individual is for effects on each card
