[sage crater]

ah ok
thank you

[rapid stag]

okay, so you know G.hand.highlighted? is there a way to do that for jokers?

i can't imagine that G.jokers.highlighted is a thing

[red flower]

it is

[rapid stag]

[digital sun]

am i doing this right?
trying to make text update as time goes on like misprint

[glass crown]

hi! there are some things that im having some trouble finding the localization stuff for
image 1: the consumable type name in the collection screen
image 2: the part that's supposed to say "X pack" at the bottom of the pack screen

[marble axle]

anyone know how to make engulf not crash my game when entering a shop other than just disabling it?

[sturdy compass]

Bump

[wild escarp]

How could I reset all this for every new run? I'm trying to make a chellenge deck that starts with one random card each time.

local function set_start_card()
    split_suit = pseudorandom_element({"S", "H", "C", "D"}, pseudoseed(("willatro_split")))

    local _rank = math.random(2, 14)
    if _rank < 10 then
        split_rank = _rank
    elseif _rank == 10 then
        split_rank = 'T'
    elseif _rank == 11 then
        split_rank = 'J'
    elseif _rank == 12 then
        split_rank = 'Q'
    elseif _rank == 13 then
        split_rank = 'K'
    elseif _rank == 14 then
        split_rank = 'A'
    end
end

[digital sun]

honestly props to all the guys that are basically always in this channel idk how they do it

like without going insane

[digital sun]

updated function, shows correct numbers and letters in game before the description
however it still doesnt update the description

[granite nymph]

im asorry fro asking this but can someone help me with a joker

i didnt want to give up and ask someone else to make ti but ve been siting here for hours

[rapid stag]

need a quick sanity check:

var = 'test'
type(var) == 'string'

this is a thing i can do, right? do i have something wrong here or would type() have a different return in this case

[faint yacht]

type(var) should return 'string' in that case, yeah.

[sage crater]

For problem 1, you need a loc_txt in the SMODS.ConsumableObject (works the same as one in a joker)

Dunno ‘bout two. Haven’t gotten that far myself. Sorry

[rapid stag]

is it possible to turn a joker into a joker that isn't present? like for example, say i had a joker cardarea that just contained the base joker and i wanted to turn it into a completely different joker.

like say i wanna do the sequence flip joker face-down, change it into... idk, half joker, flip it face-up again.

is that a thing that's doable

[sturdy compass]

[sturdy compass]

getPosition is there

[rapid stag]

yeah, seems like getPosition is what you want, no underscore, camel case

[sturdy compass]

oh my god 😭

stg that would've taken me like an hour to figure out myself

ty

[rapid stag]

i guess the simple implementation here could be to
flip the joker,
then create the joker i want but not in a way that actually emplaces it into the card area - but instead set the joker as that joker, but face-down,
then flip the joker face-up again

[shell kite]

Hello, im starting with modding and I want to do a Joker with the ability to reactivate all the played cards but only when all the five cards played are diamonds, this with a chance of 1/4, I only need it to verify that all the cards played are diamonds
Any idea?

[faint yacht]

1/4 to retrigger all scoring cards if 5 Diamond cards are played?

Or individual 1/4 chances?

[shell kite]

All scoring cards in the played hand

[faint yacht]

...does each Diamond card have the 1/4 chance to be retriggered or is the 1/4 chance for the entire scoring hand to be retriggered?

[shell kite]

Oh

[sleek cliff]

how do I go by disabling a joker, and then re-enabling it after defeating a boss blind

[rapid stag]

look into SMODS.debuff_card https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[shell kite]

Its for the entire scoring hand
Wait...

[rapid stag]

imo the best way would be to first do a thing in context.before that starts with setting a boolean in the extra table to true, loops through the hand checking if the cards are not diamonds. if it finds a non-diamond card, it sets the boolean false and breaks the loop

then outside of the context.before you do a check on that boolean with a context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play check, in which you just return { repetitions = 1 }

lemme see if i can't whip something up that you could toy with

[faint yacht]

-# Was writing similiar text all this time, too slow- 😂

My wall of text be like:

In context.before, iterate over context.full_hand to check :is_suit('Diamonds')... if all are Diamonds, set a card variable (card.ability.extra.alldiamonds, for example) to true to reference later.

Alongside context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only, you also do and card.ability.extra.alldiamonds that we set earlier.

Then, after hand is played, with context.after, card.ability.extra.alldiamonds should be reset to false or nil.

[rapid stag]

disagree on the implementation. i don't think the context.after stuff is needed either since the context.before stuff will always handle what state the bool should be, so it seems redundant

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sleek cliff]

is this the right string??

[rapid stag]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.before and context.main_eval then
    card.ability.extra.retrig_dia = pseudorandom('resonant') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/4

    if card.ability.extra.retrig_dia then
      for i = 1, #context.full_hand do
        if not context.full_hand[i]:is_suit('Diamonds') then
          card.ability.extra.retrig_dia = false
          break
        end
      end
    end
  end

  if context.individual and context.main_eval and card.ability.extra.retrig_dia then
    return { repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions }
  end
end

...i think this is all you need?

oh whoops, the 1 in 4

was too focused on making the repetition work that i forgot about the condition

there you go

[shell kite]

I see
I dont know too much about Lua and the functions
But thank you anyway

[shell kite]

Oh, thanks thanks

[rapid stag]

what you pass into the debuff arg should be the boolean state of whether you want the debuff or not, true being the card debuffed and false being undebuffed

the source arg should be a string that you make up that is associated with your joker.

you make two calls, one with debuff being true when you want to debuff your joker and one with debuff being false when you want to remove the debuff. the source should be the same string each time. what it says about reset is just a string that can be passed in to force remove all debuffs that have been applied by that function

[rapid stag]

me neither

[rapid stag]

bump

[manic rune]

card:set_ability("j_key")

[rapid stag]

it's THAT easy?!

[manic rune]

yes

[rapid stag]

question -

myFunnyFunction = function()
  return { myFunnyVar = 'myFunnyString' }
end

local getMyFunnyVar = myFunnyFunction().myFunnyVar

is that a thing i can do

or do i have to call the function and get its return table into a variable first

[daring fern]

Probably.

[sturdy compass]

Ok! So! I found out how much of an idiot I am for not knowing exactly what Moveables and Nodes are. Now my problem is that these functions are not going off for some reason and I really do not know why 😭

[rapid stag]

some quick cursory shenanigans say yes

[sturdy compass]

This is basically exactly how Card objects handle it so idk what gives

[unborn bay]

tip: use debug prints

[rapid stag]

yeah, would need more information on the initialisation and structure of G.SPLASH_MAXIMUS_LOGO to understand the nature of the issue

it could be that when you're setting up the moveable, something isn't going as you expect

[sturdy compass]

G.SPLASH_MAXIMUS_LOGO is a Sprite object (which is an extension of Moveable, which is ALSO an extension of Node which houses these functions)

[rapid stag]

in which case yes, you need to drill deeper with debug prints and evals

because that doesn't make sense to me why those functions aren't firing

[sturdy compass]

No kidding lmao

My current theory is that for whatever reason, the Controller object (my mouse) cannot target it for some reason, but I have no clue why 😭

[rapid stag]

thunk issue

[sleek cliff]

how should I make the debuff true cause my mind is not wrapping around how to make it true

[rapid stag]

for instance, if i wanted to debuff the leftmost joker, i would do SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[1], true, 'mySourceStringHere')

and then to remove the debuff later SMODS.debuff_card(G.jokers.cards[1], false, 'mySourceStringHere')

[manic rune]

whats the thing in the G.UIT.T's config that rotates the text again

[sleek cliff]

would this be the correct code? it's doing nothing

[rapid stag]

what are you trying to do here

[sleek cliff]

when a gold card is played, debuff the joker until the boss blind is beaten

[rapid stag]

the problem with that, if you got it working, is that you need to undebuff the joker externally because calculate won't be called on a debuffed joker

so the joker would debuff but never be removed

i recently wrote a joker that debuffs itself based on a condition

[manic rune]

isnt the third arg supposed to be a string

[rapid stag]

yes

what i ended up doing was just designating an "auto end of round undebuff" source and hooking SMODS.calculate_context to go through each joker at the end of round and debuff any jokers debuffed by it

anyway, as far as getting debuffing itself working

[rapid stag]

your condition isn't entering because playing_card isn't a thing.

[sleek cliff]

ohhh

[rapid stag]

instead of having that check in the if statement, loop through context.full_hand similar to what i wrote here and in that loop you wanna be looking for SMODS.has_enhancement(context.full_hand[i], 'm_gold')

then debuff the joker once that gives you the hit you're looking for.

but as i said, writing a condition to remove the debuff in the joker itself won't work

[manic rune]

i wonder why people use for i = 1, #context.full_hand do instead of for i,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do

[rapid stag]

well, either works the latter's probably better. i guess the more manual integer loop is habit

[manic rune]

fair

[sleek cliff]

so itd be like this

[rapid stag]

no

[sleek cliff]

I think I might have it not be rebuffed

oh

[molten musk]

morning

so this is purple seal code

SMODS.Seal {
    key = 'Purple',
    pos = { x = 4, y = 4 },
    badge_colour = G.C.PURPLE,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard and context.other_card == card and #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
            G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'before',
                delay = 0.0,
                func = function()
                    SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Tarot' })
                    G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return { message = localize('k_plus_tarot'), colour = G.C.PURPLE }
        end
    end
}

how do i make it when played instead of when discarded?

@daring fern

[sage crater]

well you're gonna have to change the if context.discard to something else

I think it's gonna be if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring

[molten musk]

i know that, but to what?

oh i see

[sage crater]

if you check the wiki, there's a good chance it'll be there 👍

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

[molten musk]

im new to coding lua so

[sage crater]

same

[molten musk]

have it open 24/7

checking it every line

[sage crater]

solid

[molten musk]

man how i wish for a partner to work on my project 😩
gonna be so much help

[sage crater]

got a repo?

[molten musk]

whats wrong with the spectral code, when i use it game crashes?

[molten musk]

repo?

[sage crater]

like a git repository to share your mod with other people

how new are you to programming in general? Genuine question

[molten musk]

so i used to code in C# and C++
also learned java for a while
forced to know paython for uni

so coding in general i have a good basis

but never learned lua

[viral ember]

what's the error?

[sage crater]

generally, if you hover over the squiggly lines it'll let you know what's going on that's wrong
but since it's yellow and not red, I doubt they're crash-worthy bugs.
Do you mind sending your crash report?

[sage crater]

ah ok.
well, I recommend looking up github and getting used to it because it's a really useful tool for sharing and saving your code

[viral ember]

is there a VSC Balatro library plugin ?

[molten musk]

i have github account

[viral ember]

set seal is breaking

[unborn bay]

is your seal custom

add yer mod prefix

yall keep forgetting it

[sage crater]

ah, so you just didn't recognize the abbreviation for repository
alright

[viral ember]

We have to drill it into our minds lol

[molten musk]

family calling

be right back

or after 15 mins

im back

didnt take long

[molten musk]

where?

like add a new line or modify one

[sage crater]

you probably have to change this part to s_modprefix_Blank or something

[viral ember]

you know what ignore me

I just started lmao

[molten musk]

maybe, will try it

[sage crater]

what's your mod prefix

[viral ember]

s_Seals_Blank?

[sage crater]

yeah

[viral ember]

weird prefix tho

[molten musk]

nope

[viral ember]

show?

[sage crater]

i think it'll be that, if s is the first letter

j is the first letter for jokers

[molten musk]

bad at naming, dont judge lol

[viral ember]

It's a consumable

wait

no

[sage crater]

no, I mean the name of the seal

[viral ember]

They're applying a seal

[sage crater]

there you go

[viral ember]

I'm being stupid lol

[molten musk]

nope

not working

[viral ember]

show?

[unborn bay]

theres no type prefix for seals

its just modprefix_sealkey

[viral ember]

oh

[molten musk]

not this either

same

[viral ember]

SHow?

What did you change it to?

[sage crater]

s_Seals_Blank

[molten musk]

i can stream if u are to a VC...

[sage crater]

would be the full name

[molten musk]

tried that

[sage crater]

hm ok

[molten musk]

and with c_

[viral ember]

can we see the Seal registering

[molten musk]

localiztion?

[viral ember]

all of it

[unborn bay]

including the seal definition

[unborn bay]

😭

no

[viral ember]

bruh

[unborn bay]

your seal definition

in your code

via SMODS.Seal

[viral ember]

Seals_Seals_Blank

Try that

[sage crater]

ok well I see the issue lol

[molten musk]

i dont lol

[viral ember]

You have Seals in the key lmao

[sage crater]

change key = "Seals_Blank" to key = "Blank"

[viral ember]

or that

[sage crater]

and then the s_Seals_Blank should work

[viral ember]

preferably do that

[molten musk]

yep

[unborn bay]

no s_

[sage crater]

oh, interesting

[unborn bay]

again seals dont have type prefixes

only mod prefixes

[sage crater]

is there a wiki page about type prefixes?

[unborn bay]

j_ for jokers, c_ for consumables, b_ for decks, bl_ for blinds, v_ for vouchers........ uhh

[sage crater]

decks being called "backs" is still funny to me

[viral ember]

b_ for decks ?

oh

[unborn bay]

yeah because card back

[viral ember]

that's...

wow

[glass scaffold]

the s:2.0 isn't scaling the text properly, and I've searched through SMODS wiki trying to find out why

[unborn bay]

look youll have to tussle with thunk for that if you want it changed

[unborn bay]

do not put spaces in any styling brackets

[viral ember]

I prefer to stay living

[glass scaffold]

That actually fixed it.

Thanks

[molten musk]

still no

[frigid cargo]

when people make a type of blueprint joker, do they retrigger the card or inherit the card cause i cant really figure out how one would inherit the card

[molten musk]

inherit

but i also dont know how that works

[sage crater]

here's VanillaRemade's code for blueprint

[frigid cargo]

ok great thanks

[eager basin]

Kinda niche question but would it be possible to have a gif as a custom joker asset without having to modify anything major?

[daring fern]

You cannot use a GIF but you can animate a joker.

[viral ember]

How possible would it be to add a widget next to discards?

"widget"

[daring fern]

🤷

[viral ember]

what?

oh ok

if you don't know, why did you respond lmao

[daring fern]

I thought you said "Is it possible to ..."

[hybrid shadow]

what are the three variations of the return for xchips

[viral ember]

ohh

?

[daring fern]

x_chips, xchips, Xchip_mod

[hybrid shadow]

thanks

regular chips and mult only have one return variation right? or are chips_mod and mult_mod also valid returns and would need to be accounted for?

[daring fern]

There is mult, h_mult, mult_mod also for chips.

[spare wren]

interesting

but isn't h_mult for mult held in hand?

or is it the same regardless

[daring fern]

No, it's for vanilla support.

[hybrid shadow]

what does that mean

[daring fern]

mult is the exact same as h_mult in returns.

[drowsy acorn]

what context do i need to use to see if a joker is getting destroyed? the joker im making needs to do stuff when it gets destroyed but i cant figure out the right way to go about it

[hybrid shadow]

does that mean i need to account for it in a hook or no

[daring fern]

What are you trying to do?

[hybrid shadow]

hooking the effect return of jokers (which i already have the major code for, i just need to make sure all my bases are covered in terms of the ways that chips, mult, xchips, and xmult are expressed in the code. i already have xmult (and now xchips), i just need mult and chips).

[hybrid shadow]

banan

[viral ember]

banan

[manic rune]

Banan

another area for modders to fill with their ui

[viral ember]

wait I have an idea

what if the banan meter was underneath the blind chip? 💀

[thorn furnace]

wha

actually you just gave me a really dumb idea for something in my mod

[viral ember]

like you have to grab the blind chip to see how much potassium you have

[thorn furnace]

how would you go about telling if the blind chip was moved

[primal robin]

Just another unjunkify idea: replace all custom indicators as numbers and display what there numbers means on hover, so you have much more space for displaying all of them

[empty frost]

what is this?

[manic rune]

how do i get the text inside here? (would be nice to figure out why the box isnt semi-transparent too)

[primal robin]

1. Set id for element with text
2. Use object

Also, exist function adjust_alpha(color, new_alpha)

[sage crater]

a crash

I probably set this up wrong, but how do I get a joker to basically give +^1 during the main scoring of a hand, and then at the very end the emult is applied to the mult?
(I have talisman)

[daring fern]

Remove the card.ability.extra.emult = 0

[sage crater]

oh, that's it?

does everything else work as intended at this point?

it does not

I need that emut reset back lol

[daring fern]

if context.before then card.ability.extra.emult = 1 end

[sage crater]

actually I think it needs to be 1

since ^1 does nothing

fixed it on my version, but I appreciate the help 🫡

[manic rune]

mm thanks

[molten musk]

i want this to add tarots or planets

for now its just tarots

how do i do -- or planet--

[red flower]

iirc Tarot_Planet is a set

[molten musk]

so "set = Tarot_planet"

like this?

[placid star]

does anyone have a website dedicated to their mod? I'd love to take a look for inspo

[red flower]

yes, but uppercase P

[daring fern]

No, set = "Tarot_Planet"

[molten musk]

ok, thx

what about localiz message?
what does it do?

[viral ember]

How do you modify stuff like UI?

[modern kindle]

That feels pretty broad, what about ui are you trying to modify

[viral ember]

like the blind ui

this stuff

[molten musk]

dont know if im unlucky or is it just not working, but im only getting tarots

i think its not working

[viral ember]

are there any mods that modify it? (the blind ui)

[molten musk]

umm....

it worked but now it does this

[daring fern]

area = G.consumeables

[red flower]

many, yggdrasil, paya's, grim, polterworx iirc

[molten musk]

which line are talking about?

or just add new line?

[daring fern]

{set = "Tarot_Planet", area = G.consumeables}

[molten musk]

ok ^^

what did i do wrong now TT

[daring fern]

You're just checking if the buffer is less than the limit.

[molten musk]

i should add if its above limit do nothing?

[daring fern]

You need to do (#G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer) < G.consumeables.config.card_limit

[molten musk]

where do i add that?

[daring fern]

It replaces G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit

[molten musk]

oh ok

that worked

thanks

[molten musk]

what does the localize do in the end?

message = localize .......

[red flower]

it grabs the text from the localization with the specified key

[molten musk]

i see

ok so i made same code for spectral seal, but i want to add 1/3 chance to trigger
and 1/6 chance for destroy

how do i add that?

[gaunt phoenix]

what do I need to put here to access the cards in the played hand ?

[daring fern]

context.full_hand

[gaunt phoenix]

*scored cards my bad

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand

[gaunt phoenix]

thanks !

[gaunt phoenix]

that make me crash :c

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

You need a context check.

[gaunt phoenix]

hmmm

what context should I check ?

[gleaming yew]

How do I make a +hand and/or +discard be for the rest of the run?

[gaunt phoenix]

(that's an enhancement btw, not a joker)

[daring fern]

context.before

[gaunt phoenix]

fixed ! thaanks !

[gleaming yew]

these should not be happening, right? it's supposed to say (Currently [symbol][number] [Chips or Mult])

[daring fern]

What does your loc_vars look like?

[gleaming yew]

...loc_vars?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[gleaming yew]

this??

I think I see what's wrong

,,,nevermind i give up.

[normal crest]

what's your config and loc_txt too

[manic rune]

hi dilly

[gleaming yew]

(the card's based on one of my characters and it's rare that's why it might be kinda OP)

[granite nymph]

does anyone know how you would display a random hand in the joker description (and maybe random rank if i havent figured it out yet) thanks

[normal crest]

that's not how you add variables, you'd do {C:inactive}(Currently +#1# Chips) where the #1# corresponds to the 1st value sent to the vars list in your loc_vars function

[gleaming yew]

Okay

[granite nymph]

what program is this?

[gleaming yew]

Visual Studio, the non-comm version
I just made it blue with a theme

wait, that should start at one.

(different Joker)

oh it's just displaying the wrong one

whoopsie

[granite nymph]

im using notepad++ right now and that just ooks a lot cleaner

or it might just be my code lmao

[gleaming yew]

so if I want a joker to affect hands at the start of a round, rather than current hands, what do I do?

Also the actual scoring thing doesn't seem to do anything. The variables are working but the jokers don't score anything.

[normal crest]

what's your calculate function

[gleaming yew]

genuinely i have no clue what's going on here I just used jokerforge

[normal crest]

remove the context.cardarea == G.jokers part

of your if statement

[buoyant crag]

ive never personally used g.jokers in my ifs

also you don't need to put extra{} in your return since that should already be defined earlier in the joker code

[normal crest]

no, that's fine

the extra is for giving multiple effects in one return

so it will give chips first, then mult, then x mult

[buoyant crag]

oh then ignore me, i didn't know that lmfao

[normal crest]

once you have it working i recommend you use mult instead of mult_mod which automatically creates the message for you, so you can remove message too and make it more readable and easier to understand for you

same with chip_mod and chips and Xmult_mod with x_mult

[granite nymph]

how do you know all the functions and stuff for balatro?

[gleaming yew]

So one of them has this
How do I make that until you get rid of the Joker rather than current round

[gleaming yew]

JokerForge and Kristal modding, mostly

The rest I'm either asking here or improvising.

[normal crest]

what is jokerforge

[granite nymph]

do you have a link to those?

[gleaming yew]

Kristal is just a Deltarune fangame engine that also uses LOVE

and there's that

[normal crest]

I see, it's probably a bit outdated if it's making this kind of code but if it works it works ig

[gleaming yew]

From what I've read from this server, it's a WIP

[granite nymph]

woah joker forge makes this 100% easier

[gleaming yew]

It still isn't doing it.

[normal crest]

this @daring fern

[normal crest]

what does it look like now

your entire joker if possible

[gleaming yew]

I've got

            return {
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_chips',vars={card.ability.extra.chips}},
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
    end
end
}```
and
```    if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips,
                message = localize{type='variable',key='a_chips',vars={card.ability.extra.chips}},
                extra = {
                    mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
                        message = localize{type='variable',key='a_mult',vars={card.ability.extra.mult}},
                    colour = G.C.MULT,
                    extra = {
                        Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                        message = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={card.ability.extra.Xmult}},
                        colour = G.C.XMULT
                    }
                    },
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
    end
end
}```

for the two jokers' scoring

[normal crest]

for the first one can you try return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips }

[gleaming yew]

Well it's still not doing anything

[normal crest]

what steamodded version do you have

[normal crest]

are you starting a new run

[gleaming yew]

,,,,I was about to ask if I should be

[normal crest]

you should if you ever change your joker's config

[buoyant crag]

yes you have to respawn the joker, in my experience

if you just reload the same run its the old version

[glass crown]

like this? because this didnt work for me

[gleaming yew]

what do i change to make this work?

if context.joker_main then
          return { Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
  end```

[buoyant crag]

pretty sure its Xmult_mod

[gleaming yew]

,,,nope, apparently not

[buoyant crag]

thats what i use for mine, did you start a new run and respawn the joker?

[gleaming yew]

Yes, I did

[buoyant crag]

oh, also make sure you add card = card, pretty sure you have to specify where the effect takes place in the return

[gleaming yew]

card = card???

what

[faint yacht]

card = card isn't required. xmult works unless you have something else that is not letting the variable through.

[gleaming yew]

Here's the entire scoring part

    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_5_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.MultAdd = (card.ability.extra.MultAdd or 0) + 50
            
            return {
                message = "+"..tostring(50),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end
    -- Main scoring time for jokers
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_1_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.MultX = (card.ability.extra.MultX or 0) * 2
            
            return {
                message = "x"..tostring(2),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
    end
    -- Main scoring time for jokers
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_3_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.ChipsAddO = (card.ability.extra.ChipsAddO or 0) + 100
            
            return {
                message = "+"..tostring(100),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
    end
    -- Main scoring time for jokers
    if context.joker_main then
            return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips }
    end

    if context.joker_main then
            return { mult = card.ability.extra.mult }
    end

    if context.joker_main then
            return { Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
    end```

-# code partially made by jokerforge and partially put together with help from here

[hallow forge]

naily pfp

[faint yacht]

Merge the tables of joker_main if you want all 3 effects.

return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, mult = card.ability.extra.mult, xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }

[buoyant crag]

yeah you can't have multiple returns under the same context, cuz once it hits a return, anything under that that could've triggered won't execute

[gleaming yew]

Okay, thank you!

[gleaming yew]

Yup! Drew it myself

,,,so uh... it still isn't applying.

[runic pecan]

What would happen if a given Xmult is negative? Would the score get subtracted with the negative hand score?

[buoyant crag]

what all did you change from that posted code block

[gleaming yew]

i replaced the last 3 if context.joker_main etc with

    if context.joker_main then
            return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, mult = card.ability.extra.mult, xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
    end```

[buoyant crag]

its likely all of the returns that only return text, you can still have those function without returning by using SMODS.calculate_effect

[faint yacht]

if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then goes off first.

[buoyant crag]

                card = card,
                message = "SAFE!",
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
            return {
                card = card,
                message = "X".. card.ability.extra.Xmult .. " Mult",
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult,
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }```

[gleaming yew]

...so currently it'd only apply on hands of 4 or 2 cards?

[buoyant crag]

heres an example from a working joker of mine

i use SMODS.calculate_effect to display text i want, then i just do a single return for the values i need

cuz again, once a joker returns, it won't execute any code after that point

[daring fern]

No, it would do nothing.

[gleaming yew]

So uh

        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_5_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.MultAdd = (card.ability.extra.MultAdd or 0) + 50
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "+"..tostring(50),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
    end
    -- Main scoring time for jokers
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_1_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.MultX = (card.ability.extra.MultX or 0) * 2
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "x"..tostring(2),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
    end
    -- Main scoring time for jokers
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_3_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.ChipsAddO = (card.ability.extra.ChipsAddO or 0) + 100
            
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "+"..tostring(50),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            })
        end
    end
    -- Main scoring time for jokers
    if context.joker_main then
            return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, mult = card.ability.extra.mult, xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
    end```
Would this work? Or do the other ones NEED returns?

[buoyant crag]

well you could reduce redundancy by having all of those conditionals under a single if, but as long as your if statements work i think it would yeah

[gleaming yew]

Also do I need to reopen the game every time or can I just like. start a new run

[buoyant crag]

reopen

it gets tedious, i know

i appear offline on steam so i don't constantly pop up for friends lmao

[obtuse silo]

i'm trying to make a consumable but idk what the context would be for using it
the idea is that the consumable will transform a selected joker (this doesn't work with all jokers unfortunately) into a quote-unquote "parallel counterpart"

[obtuse silo]

ohh
so you use "use" instead of "calculate"

[gleaming yew]

okay so it still doesn't apply

        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_5_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.MultAdd = (card.ability.extra.MultAdd or 0) + 50
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "+"..tostring(50),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
        if check_count_eq_1_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.MultX = (card.ability.extra.MultX or 0) * 2
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "x"..tostring(2),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
        if check_count_eq_3_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.ChipsAddO = (card.ability.extra.ChipsAddO or 0) + 100
            
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "+"..tostring(50),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            })
        end
            return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, mult = card.ability.extra.mult, Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
    end
end
}```

It adds the things, but doesn't apply

[buoyant crag]

so by adds the things, like its hitting the card.ability.extra modifications under each check_count?

[gleaming yew]

Yeah.

[buoyant crag]

are the calculate_effects working too? it should be popping messages under the joker itself if it is

[gleaming yew]

Yes it is

And it's updating the card description (checking by repeatedly doing high cards)

[buoyant crag]

i've never wrote a return without specifying a card variable personally, i would try that too even though someone else had said it wasn't necessary

cuz the calculate_effects are working with it

[snow vale]

what do i change here to make it say whatever i want it to say?

[gleaming yew]

Trying specifying card = card.

[buoyant crag]

yes, that should tell the game to trigger the calculation messages under the joker itself, as the calculate_effect's do

[gleaming yew]

...card = card didn't make it work. should it be outside the return??

[buoyant crag]

no should be inside, might be something wrong with your chips mult and Xmult variables then

[gleaming yew]

("to card" referring to itself in the description, by the way)

[buoyant crag]

when are you updating chips, mult, and Xmult in the calculate function? looks to me like they're always 0, 1 and 0 from the original declaration in extra

[gleaming yew]

They start as that

the actual addition/multiplication to the variables work

[buoyant crag]

yes, but in the calculate function you're updating MultAdd, MultX, and ChipsAddO, which are never returned

[gleaming yew]

,,,oh.

[buoyant crag]

switch the updates to the variables you return and it should work

[gleaming yew]

Okay, let's try that

[wintry solar]

card = card doesn’t do anything

[gleaming yew]

i was told to try that just to be sure

[normal crest]

In your config you're setting some to nil

[wintry solar]

What’s the problem?

[normal crest]

You can't refer to other values in the config like that

[wintry solar]

I don’t have time to read back 😂

[buoyant crag]

he had two sets of 3 variables, was updating one set but returning another without updating the returned set essentially

[gleaming yew]

It's not applying the effects to the mult or chip count. The variable changes work, but not the application.

[obtuse silo]

is there any way to identify a specific joker that is currently selected?

[gleaming yew]

This should fix that, right? I'm updating the right ones now... I think.

[normal crest]

Those values you're returning are nil

Because those are not the ones updated

[gleaming yew]

OHHH okay

[wintry solar]

Also don’t use xmult_mod

[normal crest]

That's the downside of using that jokerforge tool I guess

You don't learn lua

[gleaming yew]

I've learned some from Kristal modding

It's still not applying the stuff in the return.

[buoyant crag]

        -- Check conditions for this rule
        if check_count_eq_5_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.mult = (card.ability.extra.mult or 0) + 50
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "+"..tostring(50),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
        if check_count_eq_1_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = (card.ability.extra.Xmult or 0) * 2
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "x"..tostring(2),
                colour = G.C.MULT
            })
        end
        if check_count_eq_3_played(context) then
            -- Pre-return code execution
            card.ability.extra.chips = (card.ability.extra.chips or 0) + 100
            
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                card = card,
                message = "+"..tostring(50),
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            })
        end
            return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, mult = card.ability.extra.mult, Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult }
    end
end
}```

main issue i saw was that the variables in each conditional didn't match the variable in the return, so you're updating MultAdd in a condition and then returning a separate mult variable, which means the update doesn't carry over

so essentially card.ability.extra.chips, mult, and Xmult just stay 0, 1, and 0 from your initial declaration

this might not be the exact effect you had in mind, but i at least wanna get it scoring so that the logic kinda works

[obtuse silo]

ok so would G.Jokers.Highlighted target the joker currently selected?

[normal crest]

G.jokers.highlighted is a list of all highlighted jokers in the order they were selected

You can only highlight one tho, so it's always the first one

[obtuse silo]

so that's a yes?

[normal crest]

That's a no

G.jokers.highlighted[1] is the selected joker

Make sure to check if there even is a highlighted one to begin with

[obtuse silo]

so if G.jokers.highlighted == 1 then works?

alright
now to make sure it only works with specific jokers

[normal crest]

nop

[daring fern]

No, it would be #G.jokers.highlighted == 1

[modern kindle]

Hi bepis

[obtuse silo]

oh okay
what does the # do?

[daring fern]

It gets the length of the table.

[obtuse silo]

i see

[granite nymph]

does anyone know how to check for a random card? Like random (rank) of (suit)

[normal crest]

You can get a random card in the deck and use that card's rank and suit if they have one

[obtuse silo]

ok now to check specific jokers
because some jokers do not work with this consumeable

[pure salmon]

wait why not

[normal crest]

you can use it if you wanna specify a custom message, but if you're just gonna replicate the xmult message just use xmult

tho I believe you can also override xmult message with xmult_message

[granite nymph]

im trying to make "if hand contains a (RANDOM HAND) and (RANK) of (SUIT), earn 30 dollars and ive been trying to do this for like an hour

wait i could borrow some code from idol and maybe put a hand onto it??

[pure salmon]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua code for the idol starts on line 3,970

[granite nymph]

i know i have vanila remade

[pure salmon]

yeah you can

[granite nymph]

the onyl thing that i dont like about vanilla remade is that they dont have the descriptions for the jokers so i have no idea how to format those

[pure salmon]

those are in the localisation file

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/localization/en-us.lua

if there's a vanilla joker with a behaviour you're looking for 100% just rip it from vremade

[granite nymph]

yo thank you so much that helps a lot

[pure salmon]

np

[granite nymph]

im still gonna have to find out about the random hand mechanic but that should be pretty easy (I hope)

[pure salmon]

that behaviour is in to-do list

[obtuse silo]

would G.jokers.highlighted[1].name get the name of the highlighted joker?

[granite nymph]

oh yeah i forgot

[hollow turtle]

Does anyone know if there is a context for choosing the boss blind?

[obtuse silo]

should be context.settingblind and context.blind.boss

one checks for when a blind is chosen
the other checks if it is the boss blind
put em' together and it selects the boss blind

[hollow turtle]

Thanks a lot

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

context.setting_blind and context.blind.boss

[buoyant crag]

how would you go about zeroing out the round score? i have gotten a joker to zero out a scoring hand, but i was thinking the best way would be to somehow get the current round score and set the scoring hand to subtract that much, if thats possible

[obtuse silo]

i'm looking at VanillaRemade and that appears to be the case
sorry for spreading misinfo

[obtuse silo]

okay
so how would i identify a selected joker
by name or id or whatever

[normal crest]

.config.center.key

[gleaming yew]

...now it's doing x0 multi I think

[gilded blaze]

💀

how do I fix midground layer

[buoyant crag]

whats the joker meant to do, i might try workshopping it from scratch and see if i can get it

[devout badger]

what's the context you use for when a joker is activated

added_to_deck?

[daring fern]

No.

[normal crest]

what do you mean by activated

[devout badger]

like when its added to the joker slots

[normal crest]

that's not a context but that ^

[gleaming yew]

It's meant to
do this ("to card" being itself)
and then every time you play a hand, it applies what's been added to itself

[normal crest]

A different function in your joker def

[devout badger]

I want a joker that does the same thing as the negative edition basically

[normal crest]

you'd have to modify G.jokers.config.card_limit iirc

[devout badger]

yeah I see that from looking at card.lua I just don't know where to put it

[obtuse silo]

lemme just say this is gonna take a while to write considering the number of Jokers i want to make this apply to
is there any way to run through a list or two to check?
probably is tbh

[daring fern]

Yes.

You would do for example jokerconversions = {j_jolly = "j_sly"}

[devout badger]

+2 joker slots is what I want

[daring fern]

Then you would do jokerconversions[key] to get it.

[spring lantern]

how could this happen to me...

[normal crest]

in the function that something sent

and make sure to undo the effect in remove_from_deck

[obtuse silo]

could you clarify a little more?

[devout badger]

in card.lua its on self.added_to_deck

[daring fern]

No?

[devout badger]

line 412 of card.lua

[daring fern]

No, it's on card:add_to_deck()

[obtuse silo]

because you only put in one conversion
how would i futher go about this?
because this is also meant to be reversible

[spring lantern]

halp me sound no woekjr

[normal crest]

Make a table where the keys are joker keys and the values are what that joker turns into

[normal crest]

Does your file work when you just play it outside of balatro

[spring lantern]

yeah

calling it here

ignore the stupid effect it's a meme mod

[obtuse silo]

i'm not the best with lua so idk what exactly to do-

[spring lantern]

sound definition

the mod prefix is tabs

[normal crest]

This but add more keys @obtuse silo

[spring lantern]

like j_sly = "j_jolly"

and so on

[spring lantern]

the actual sound

[normal crest]

What if you remove volume

Also your file is in assets right

[spring lantern]

yea

assets/sounds

i have another sound there that works fine

removing the volume param didn't do anything

[normal crest]

I guess there is smt wrong with your file then

But idk what

[spring lantern]

no idea

tried to import it into audacity and it doesnt recognize the filetype so maybe the file is just borked

[obtuse silo]

local parallels = {j_jolly = "j_sly", j_zany = "j_wily", }
so something like this?

[spring lantern]

yea

and the reverse if you want it to be 2 way

[obtuse silo]

i see
i was thinking about this a different way where we have two tables each containing one half of the conversion

[normal crest]

you can always add the reverse ones programatically after

[obtuse silo]

e.g. one with jolly, zany, etc.
and the other with sly, wily, etc.

[spring lantern]

true...

[normal crest]

You can then

Either way works fine

[obtuse silo]

might be more concise to work inversely too

and about that
since it contains some of my mod's jokers
would i reference them with the mod's prefix or with just j_jokernamehere

[normal crest]

j_prefix_key

[dapper peak]

hello guys, ive been trying to figure this out for like 4 hours can someone jusst give me some sample code to add a simple joker becuase when i do it it doesn't appear in the collection, thanks

[obtuse silo]

so for instance
j_MintConditionCards_gun would reference the modded joker that is deadass just a gun

[normal crest]

if that's your prefix yeah, tho maybe they get lowercased

[devout badger]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.card_added and not context.blueprint then
            if self then
                G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + card.ability.extra.slots
            end
        end```

this isn't working

[normal crest]

You don't use calculate for this

[rugged pier]

is there a function that calculates enhancements triggering?

[normal crest]

The add_to_deck is a separate function

[daring fern]

No, but there is card.lucky_trigger and card.glass_trigger

[rugged pier]

hmm okay ty

[obtuse silo]

and one more thing
is there a reference for the game's joker keys?
cuz i'm seeing that j_jolly goes to Jolly Joker so i'm wondering about the rest

[daring fern]

game.lua in the source code.

[obtuse silo]

thank you

[hollow turtle]

I put {C:green}#1# in #3#{} chance this", in my joker's description, but instead of 1 it displays "table: " followed by some numbers, any idea why that is?

[normal crest]

what did you pass in loc_vars

[daring fern]

You're inputting a table into loc_vars

[hollow turtle]

        return { vars = { G.GAME, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds } }
    end,```

[daring fern]

You are passing in G.GAME which is a table.

And you're also asking for G.GAME

[buoyant crag]

where are those check_count functions defined? i don't have it on my end

just crashes when i call it

[gleaming yew]

Here's the file

[sturdy compass]

Just came in to say I figured out how to do the thing I was asking about yesterday and I never want to touch Moveable/Node code ever again

[red flower]

amazing

[modern kindle]

It do look sick

Now do it again

[normal crest]

How did you manage to do it

The clickable part

[sturdy compass]

The biggest problem I came across is that since I was drawing it with shaders, the actual sprite was never getting drawn and therefore not calling Controller functions, so I had to forgo a :draw() function and directly add the sprite to the draw hash so it would work without another sprite getting overlayed on top of the animated stuff 😭

[digital sun]

balajamestro

[lone hedge]

how would one go about using other joker's triggers
like a joker that gets +1 mult each time bloodstone is triggered for example

[red flower]

context.post_trigger it's an optional feature

[devout badger]

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        if from_debuff == false then
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + card.ability.extra.slots
        end
    end,

    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        if from_debuff == false then
            G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - card.ability.extra.slots
        end
    end``` am I in the wrong scope or something here

[normal crest]

use not from_debuff instead of == false

I doubt it's ever false

[devout badger]

okay that worked thanks

[normal crest]

awesome

[devout badger]

yahoo

[modern kindle]

What if I ate it then what would you do

[gilded blaze]

nice
it was just me not using SMODS.DrawStep lmao

[sturdy compass]

Partially the thing I said above as well as making its collidable state true and adding these functions to it

[lone hedge]

ok and how can i make it specific to the joker i need
ecpesially if it's a vanilla joker

[red flower]

other_card has the joker triggered, other_context has the context it's triggered under, other_ret has the return from that joker
you would use that to check if the card is bloodstone and it returned mult

[digital sun]

im trying to make the description of this joker update over time like misprint does
right now it shows the correct numbers but doesnt update them

[red flower]

try string = {ref_table = card.ability.extra, ref_value="mult"}

[primal robin]

Uh, working with sprites so annoying, especially on cards

[red flower]

uhhhh try string = {{ref_table = card.ability.extra, ref_value="mult"}}

[digital sun]

yup it works

thanbk yo

[normal crest]

yw

[hybrid shadow]

are there any other variations of chip return and mult return i should take into account in these

[undone slate]

Not sure if this works at all because I can't find any info on how to do it properly so I'm just using imagination
trying to do reverse stone card, getting an "unexpected symbol near 'for' "
Using VanillaRemade as ref

[normal crest]

mult_mod and chip_mod

[hybrid shadow]

thanks

[red flower]

this is very wrong

what do you want to accomplish

[normal crest]

Take a look at SMODS.calculation_keys just in case

Print it with debugplus or in the source code

[undone slate]

the opposite of a stone card.
I imagine it's very wrong I've got no idea, tried to check in the smods. docs but couldn't find something that would work similarly

[red flower]

It registers as all ranks?

[undone slate]

opposite of a stone card means it's valid as all ranks, all suits and as a face card

but it has low value

[normal crest]

we don't have multi rank in smods unfortunately

[red flower]

ok, this is not possible with heavy game modifications I don't recommend doing

[keen totem]

one of my mods somehow has the same modicon as another despite the former not having the asset OR code for the modicon of the latter mod

[normal crest]

you mean without

Heh

[undone slate]

oh wel

I give up on it then

sad

[red flower]

im quitting balatro modding

[normal crest]

o7

[undone slate]

how about multi suit? would that be similar to smeared?

[red flower]

for that there's the any_suit parameter

[normal crest]

Suits are fine yeah, wild cards are all suits after all

[keen totem]

can anyone help me figure out what black magic is going on here

[undone slate]

the idea was making a joker playable card that looks like the Spanish playing cards' joker

that counts as a wildcard for everything

[red flower]

my optimistic guess is that multi rank will be possible within 6 months

[daring fern]

Did you change the prefix and id?

[primal robin]

All because of straights right?

[keen totem]

perchance not

[hybrid shadow]

how would i do that

[red flower]

yeah

we hate straights

[primal robin]

More like straights hates all of us

Should I work towards animation skip, or just play some gold stake?

[daring fern]

Open the console and type eval SMODS.calculation_keys for DebugPlus

[stiff quiver]

if i make a joker's rarity legendary does it automatically get added to the soul (the spectral card) pool?

[west prism]

I want to display a joker's values which depend on its position, is there like a context for moving a joker's position to update the variables there or smth else better than repeating the same function as when scoring in loc_vars ?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks

[red flower]

repeating the same function is the best option

[viral ember]

How would I hide a suit until the player uses a joker

[west prism]

Aw it looks wrong but it is what it is, ty ty

[rapid stag]

is there a way to decrease the resolution of a background colour in localisation text so that the corners of the background are more rounded like in blueprint's/brainstorm's compatibility thingy

[red flower]

not without patching localize
but I would recommend just recreating the UI yourself

with main_end

[tall jewel]

oh thats new

[modern kindle]

You've got a week, happy trails

[lone hedge]

would something like this work?

   if context.other_ret and context.other_ret.mult then
    card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + 0.5
    card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "+0.5 XMult" })
   end
  end```

[red flower]

i love trails, my favorite is trails to azure

[daring fern]

No.

It would be context.other_card.config.center.key == 'j_bloodstone'

Also bloodstone doesn't return mult

[granite nymph]

can someone helop me?

[normal crest]

you have a syntax error in jokers.lua file

[granite nymph]

i know that

im nto srue what thoguh

[normal crest]

do you use vscode

[granite nymph]

notepad++

[normal crest]

makes sense

send a ss of your file near line 194

[pure salmon]

also consider using vscode

[lone hedge]

oh yeah it should be Xmult?

[granite nymph]

is it better?

[pure salmon]

a LOT better yeah

[daring fern]

No, it should be x_mult

[lone hedge]

ok ty!
where can i find this syntax

[granite nymph]

should i use the blue visual studio or the purple one

[normal crest]

beyond any syntax errors you might have, you're mixing stuff up

[pure salmon]

blue is vscode, so that one

[rapid stag]

-# me just out here using notepad++

[devout badger]

how do I make next(context.poker_hands['High Card']) strict (ie returns false when you play anything that isn't just a high card)

[normal crest]

there's nothing wrong with using notepad++

as long as you know the syntax of the language

[granite nymph]

youre not alone

[daring fern]

if context.scoring_name == "High Card"

[granite nymph]

so visual studio is basically training wheels

and notepad++ is a nomral bikle

[devout badger]

is that within next or just a condition unto itself

[normal crest]

ehh, i'd say it's more than that, I mean I am still using it while knowing

[daring fern]

It is it's own condition.

[lone hedge]

i meant like is there some documentation i can read

[normal crest]

an IDE (what vscode is) is a very good tool to have when coding stuff, notepad++ (beyond any plugins it might have available) is just a text editor

[granite nymph]

IT WORKS!!\

[devout badger]

worked, thanks

[granite nymph]

thank you visual studio

[north swallow]

how would i check if an user is hovering over a certain object? not a card or joker, like, an object generated with love.draw with a bounding box i made.

[timid parrot]

Visual studio (purple) is a bloated IDE for programming C#, C++, and some other languages. Last I checked, it’s missing basic features that every modern text editor for programming has. Vscode (blue) is a far lighter text editor that can be made to have most of the IDE features you need to program using plugins. Vscode is preferable for Balatro programming and most uses in general

[faint yacht]

VS is "standardized" programming with the languages, VSCode is more flexible with plugins and what not.

[granite nymph]

edit: it did not work

the title and stuff works but the rank suit and hand soes not cahnmge

[red flower]

\"

[urban wasp]

gotcha

[sonic cedar]

i thought this was balatro

[primal robin]

Or just use singlequore for string

[scarlet thorn]

Failing at patching DebugPlus. Anyone able to see my problem with this target?
No not found errors in console, so my pattern isnt the problem. Supposedly.

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS DebugPlus "core.lua"]'
pattern = '''_card:remove()'''
position = "after"
payload = '''if _card.config and _card.config.tag then
    _card:remove_from_game()
end'''
match_indent = false```

[red flower]

i think it's because debugplus doesn't load through smods

it's a lovely mod

[scarlet thorn]

mmm maybe, but it has the metadata for a smods mod

[red flower]

yeah but it loads the modules through a lovely file

[scarlet thorn]

Ill try targetting main then

[red flower]

i think there's a setting for lovely to tell you all the targets it finds

but i dont remember how

[scarlet thorn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[scarlet thorn]

*for core its not main, its engine/controller.lua...

not a module

here's the full log file in case it helps...

and now i remember why i didn't use talisman :(

i just wanna quit it all and go outside or something idk

[proud depot]

The text in loc_txt is appearing black when I made it white, the text is: {X:mult,C:white}X#2# {} mult how do I fix this

[pale holly]

do you have the full loc_txt just to see how it's coded ?

[obtuse silo]

for some reason the image is loading in just fine
but the name and description won't appear

[granite nymph]

someone needs to make a tutorial for this stuff. im trying to make a deck spawn jokers but it isnt working

[pale holly]

it's loc_txt and not loctxt

[daring fern]

Put the mult = ... in the return.

[mighty trench]

mult= in the return

[stiff turret]

oh ok thanks

[mighty trench]

like the line goes below

[granite nymph]

bump :(

[daring fern]

It's jokers and you put all the keys in config.

Also you need your mod prefix.

[mighty trench]

i dont know how to help this one but i think cryptid has that one deck with legendary spawns? try checking the code on that

[granite nymph]

i already tried stealing from cryptid lmao

[mighty trench]

mod prefixes would be good Somethingcom515 is wayyy more experienced

[granite nymph]

instead of _j or before _j

[daring fern]

After j_

[granite nymph]

sorry i wish there was a tutorial on this stuff

[daring fern]

So it would be config = {jokers = {"j_modprefix_guess_who", "j_modprefix_jester", "j_modprefix_blue_card"}}

[digital sun]

im trying to get these updating text to be put onto a localised variable
i dont really know what im doing tbh so im just trying random stuff and hoping it works

[red flower]

you can't

you need to build the UI for the text yourself

[digital sun]

ah

i tried to do that before but idk how to add lines and also the inactive color just set the color to white instead

so you couldnt see it

[red flower]

well it is kinda hard

the inactive color thing might be because the wiki is wrong

[granite nymph]

                (Cryptid.safe_get(G.PROFILES, G.SETTINGS.profile, "deck_usage", "b_cry_spooky", "wins", 8) or 0)
                    ~= 0
                or skip
            then
                G.GAME.modifiers.cry_spooky = true
                G.GAME.modifiers.cry_curse_rate = 0
                if Cryptid.enabled("j_cry_chocolate_dice") == true then
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            if G.jokers then
                                local card = create_card("Joker", G.jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, "j_cry_chocolate_dice")
                                card:add_to_deck()
                                card:start_materialize()
                                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                                return true
                            end
                        end,
                    }))
                end
            end```

entirely different code

[willow plinth]

triple "`" above and below makes it a codeblock

"```lua" adds syntax highlighting

[granite nymph]

bump again

[red flower]

what's the code

[granite nymph]

i was tryuing to make a joker and i decided to make a deck to make debugging the joker easier and as it turns out the deck is harder to make than the joker

[digital sun]

i think i found the correct color idk for sure though
i see G.C.GREY from searching through console

[red flower]

?? just use debugplus

[granite nymph]

    name = "Debug Deck",
     key = "debug",
     atlas = 'decks',
    pos = { x = 8, y = 6 },
    config = { jokers = 'j_yip_guess_who','j_yip_jester','j_yip_blue_card'},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Debug Deck",
        text ={
            "Start with the last five",
            "jokers in the yippee's stuff catalouge"
        },
    },
   loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return {
            vars = { localize { type = 'name_text', key = self.config.jokers, set = 'Jokers' },
            }
            
        }
    end
  }

[mighty trench]

yeah the "b_cry" the cry part thats the prefix

[orchid nest]

when should you ever use self vs card?

[red flower]

G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE iirc

[daring fern]

If you are trying to get something from the center.

[granite nymph]

the error was from the text above this message

[mighty trench]

debugplus could solve this since you could just ctrl+c

over the joker

in the collection

[red flower]

the list of jokers needs to be a table

[digital sun]

looks correct, thanks .,.,

[mighty trench]

@stiff turret why the question marks? do you want like explanations

[stiff turret]

icl ts thats not what i woulda done

[red flower]

try removing the spaces

[mighty trench]

what would you've did instead of debugplus? /genq

[stiff turret]

i don't know

[red flower]

lmao

[digital sun]

how do i add lines with this?

[granite nymph]

i was planning to makea deck whihc just gave you when yoyu loaded in

[red flower]

you mean line breaks?
you need to use C and R nodes

[scarlet thorn]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664
this lets you spawn any joker you want

[scarlet thorn]

the humble box node

still needs rows tho

[granite nymph]

i already had debug plus i just didnt know it could od that

[red flower]

isn't B for spacing

[digital sun]

is there a wiki or smth that says how to do stuff like this

[red flower]

yes, the UI guide on the smods wiki

[digital sun]

ok thank,.

[sage crater]

lowercase x

[sage crater]

whoops, forgot that you also need a collection variable

[daring fern]

No, uppercase X is fine.

[sage crater]

upper didn't work for me when I was first making jokers

[granite nymph]

when i try ubnsterutb a tabke uit give s me like 20 warning

how do you all know all this stuff theres no way to learn baaltro coding

[keen totem]

how do i get the card texture in a shader?

[granite nymph]

how do youi know about all the variables and stuff

[red flower]

i learned how to program way before i started modding balatro

and i read the docs

[mighty trench]

theres smods documentation

steamodded*

should be this?

[red flower]

yes

[rapid stag]

i was hoping i could keep my description entirely within the loc_txt and didn't want to have to build a main_end for every little thing, especially something as minor as this

[red flower]

well thats how thunk designed the localization system

[sage crater]

i was actually planning on making zodiac legendaries

and the colors would be the hemosprecturn

Is there a context for jokers getting deleted from ankh or hex?

[proud depot]

What do i add to the end of create card?

I know its some sort of key

is that just for jokers or is that ANY chips or mult

[daring fern]

Anything that goes through SMODS.calculate_effect

So yes, most likely.

[keen totem]

isnt there cases where chips is bonus or something

[daring fern]

Yes, for enhancements.

[keen totem]

so should i include that too?

[daring fern]

No.

I meant like card.ability.bonus is where chips go sometimes.

[keen totem]

would enhancements trigger this or not?

[daring fern]

They would.

[red flower]

use this

[red flower]

no

[scenic loom]

what about getting deleted from foods expiring or whatever

[red flower]

nope

[scenic loom]

fuuuuuck

[red flower]

there's no context for joker destruction, you need to make it yourself

[obtuse silo]

relevant code:

[red flower]

update smods

[hybrid shadow]

still doesnt work

this is a completely different hook than what i was originally told would work

what does SMODS.find_card even do here

why is that a requirement

why would it not do anything otherwise

youre not telling me why the code works or helping me understand you're just pointing to the code and going "well thats just how that works"

[hybrid shadow]

and then question mark reacting me when i (a beginner) am confused by code that you are refusing to explain

[obtuse silo]

yey!! it works
but i wanna make the card flip before it swaps

[daring fern]

What is confusing you?

[hybrid shadow]

why are we not looking at return functions here? why does it need to be this and not some variant of what i was already given?

hooking is already quite confusing to me and you giving me something completely different and not explaining why it's different isn't helping anything

[daring fern]

You mean returning a message instead of using SMODS.calculate_effect?

I'm not very good at explaining things.

[normal crest]

find_card gives you a list of all the jokers, consumables and vouchers that match that id

[wintry solar]

you shouldnt hook calc effect to do this

[red flower]

uhhh not to be that guy but isnt post_trigger the context you need

[hybrid shadow]

should i re-explain what im trying to do here

[red flower]

please

[hybrid shadow]

im trying to make a joker that gains (effect, since i have four joker variants of it) whenever a joker of (same effect) triggers

[red flower]

so like it does something with chips if a joker gives chips?

[hybrid shadow]

yeah the chips one has chip gain whenever a joker triggers that gives +chips

[red flower]

oh then yeah context.post_trigger is for that

context.other_ret contains the effect the other joker returned

[hybrid shadow]

how would i write that out

[tall wharf]

what exactly is G.ROOM

[red flower]

never used it before so i might be wrong but

if context.post_trigger and (context.other_ret.chips or context.other_ret.h_chips or context.other_ret.chip_mod) then

keep in mind this is an optional feature you have to enable (i dont remember the syntax for that rn)

[rugged pier]

is the id of stone cards 1?

[red flower]

i think it's randomized?

that's what i remember anyway

[rugged pier]

hmm so to check for if a card is stone i should just look at its center thingy right

[modern kindle]

You can just pull if its m_stone I think yea

[red flower]

SMODS.has_enhancement(card, "m_stone")

[modern kindle]

Doesn't has enhancement

Yea

[rugged pier]

awesome

ty

[modern kindle]

Youre so much faster than me on my phone n

Smarty pants

[red flower]

:3

[rugged pier]

i can do something like this "and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone")" yeah?

[red flower]

yes

[rugged pier]

perfect

youre awesome

[vital seal]

How would i make it so a sound play's every time a joker is activated/scores something?

[faint yacht]

In return { }, add a sound = prefix_key.

[vital seal]

Thanks

[hybrid shadow]

is context.other_ret also an optional feature?

[obtuse silo]

How would I make cards flip over
like they're getting enhanced
cuz that's the effect i want to use for Parallel

[daring fern]

No.

[hybrid shadow]

then it still isnt working

[daring fern]

Code?
