And the cards show up and everything :D
I couldn't be happier.

[modern kindle]

Now make it spawn the perfect cards for my run

[red flower]

all obelisks

[north lodge]

It doesn't change RNG, it just predicts it. It is essentially The Soul but in game

[sonic cedar]

oh my god i got it right on the first attempt

[modern kindle]

Why would you need that much mult

I'd eat mulch

[solid mesa]

bet more

the gambling never stop

[sonic cedar]

why wouldnt you

[red flower]

anyway im going back to sleep zzz
see u gamers

[sonic cedar]

if only i could figure out why the lucky card version isnt working

[sonic cedar]

gn n!!!!

[modern kindle]

Fair enough I have one that does this

[solid mesa]

I would like to know how much n!!!! is

[modern kindle]

Gn bestie

[sonic cedar]

3

[solid mesa]

the blue mult should be ilegal

[solid mesa]

what???

[modern kindle]

I did that to mess with my friend and she was very mad

[solid mesa]

he should kill you

[modern kindle]

I gotta grind to get mine up that high though
Cause its unlocked by killing a card and letting its hp reset
Then bonuses double to get added

[sonic cedar]

oh yeah no it only gets this high from testing

all probability gets /10

WOF becomes a 0.1 in 4

So nothing changes actually

[modern kindle]

Oic
Mine is a boss type beat that has phases
He has hp
Below like half hp he starts debuffing jokers, then at 25% starts destroying random cards played/in hand
If you win you get cash and an increase in the unlocked bonuses
After 2 win you unlock +100 chips i think, then 3 is +10 mult, then 4 is x2 mult
Then you get each number added (or in mult case its just doubled) and the hp is increased 5x each time

[thorn flame]

self destructs if any chance based card activates

[sonic cedar]

oml 😭

[modern kindle]

Jokers also arent undebuffed until hp is above 50% again (aka defeat)

So he can kill runs if you can't deal high enough chip

[sonic cedar]

oh no

[true jasper]

WHAT LMAO

[sonic cedar]

can anyone explain this btw

[modern kindle]

Do u not like him

[true jasper]

that's so peam

It's really funny

I love it

[daring fern]

Lucky trigger gets set to nil unlike glass.

[sonic cedar]

WHAT

[modern kindle]

I eventually intend on making him spawn minions that will make him invincible until they're beaten
And those 2 will do diff things as well
But thats a whole lot of effort

[sonic cedar]

WHY ARE YOU WEIRD

n go to bed

[modern kindle]

N I'm about to snuggle you

[true jasper]

yeah I'm installing this, send the link

[red flower]

hi
it's because glass is taken_ownership by smods and it adds a calculate function
lucky is hardcoded

[sonic cedar]

so it’s ’s fault

again

[modern kindle]

Its not yet ready for release because I am waiting for my STUPID artists to hurry up
But once they are done I'll be making a thread in the mods area!

[sonic cedar]

CURSE YOU I AM WAVING MY FIST IN set-conditional-to-false CURSE YOUUUU

[modern kindle]

(I say stupid artists lovingly)

[sonic cedar]

thank you n
now rest your head
a tired mind requires bed

[true jasper]

I love when my artist @rigid pebble DOESNT MAKE ME ART 🥰

[sonic cedar]

THE PING?

[red flower]

hard to sleep after picking up the phone

[sonic cedar]

so put it down

?

[red flower]

nooo

[modern kindle]

We have decent progress, this is my current sheet

[sonic cedar]

FYM NO

[sonic cedar]

Is that just perkeo

[modern kindle]

Nuh uh
Says joker not perkeo

[true jasper]

I had to beg him to make art for a Partner for Partners Plus today

[hallow slate]

How do I add a title card to the main menu

[sonic cedar]

well im not calling him jerkeo

He looks nice

[true jasper]

Look how cryptid does it

[sonic cedar]

villainous answer

[wise terrace]

I'm trying to display the info for a joker in the info queue of another joker, using the center doesn't have the loc_vars information tho, is it possible to do this?

[modern kindle]

Its a bootleg variant of trib funny enough
+0.2x mult per king or queen played in the round but resets at end of each round
So if you have enough retriggers you can get to like, idk, 15x mult
But it resets by the end of the round

[sonic cedar]

MAN 😭

[true jasper]

I'm friends with John Cryptid

[sonic cedar]

did you eat his code

[daring fern]

That is a SMODS issue.

[true jasper]

no I just borrowed it permanently

[sonic cedar]

right…

[modern kindle]

I did a probably not great patch for my title card but it works which means frankly its perfect

[true jasper]

The other day when coding one of my partners I accidentally made every card give +2 mult (including in deck and in hand) lol

[modern kindle]

I made a joker that gives +1 joker slot per revealed hand (and it works for hands revealed before you got it) but I accidentally made it give +1 slot for every hand that exists

Imagine my surprise when 19 or so joker slots

[sonic cedar]

breathe on it and it’s gone

[modern kindle]

I have so many patches don't say this I'll cry

[true jasper]

get the mod that adds like 50000 poker hands, then you'll be all good

[modern kindle]

I already add like almost a dozen or some shit

[hallow slate]

Uggggh I got an error

[SMODS Cryptid "lib/modifiers.lua"]:287: attempt to index field 'ability' (a nil value)

[modern kindle]

Cause you can play up to like 7 card hands

[true jasper]

I used to hate lovely patches but I love them now

[sonic cedar]

REAL

[true jasper]

I couldn't figure them out before lol

[modern kindle]

I rely on lovely patches way too much when I should probably be hooking

[true jasper]

You should fix that

[modern kindle]

Cause this is the length of my patches file

[true jasper]

Lovely patches shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary 😭

[hallow slate]

Lovely patches can get messy...

[vast night]

hi quick question: where do i find resources to learn about animating text in jokers?

[modern kindle]

Half of my shit or more do be necessary

[true jasper]

wdym animating text? Like misprint text?

[vast night]

not limited to but yes

[gaunt thistle]

wrong

(accurate)

[sonic cedar]

main_end….

is that John lovely

[vast night]

I wanna have a badge that alternates between tect

[modern kindle]

All I'm saying is if lovely patches shouldn't be used all the time they wouldn't exist

[true jasper]

omg mr John lovely

[sonic cedar]

lovely patches are like nuclear bombs

yes this makes metherul Oppenheimer

[gaunt thistle]

[modern kindle]

So the correct way to solve a problem

Nuclear bombs solve problems the fastest and most efficient way

[gaunt thistle]

just be responsible

[modern kindle]

Smiley face

[sonic cedar]

bomb responsibly guys

[true jasper]

"Now I am become lovely, the destroyer of balatro" 🗣️ 🔥

[sonic cedar]

was this metherul watching JBN get released

[true jasper]

Probably

[gaunt thistle]

[sonic cedar]

my sides hurt

[modern kindle]

Tell it to stop

[worthy stirrup]

Whats something i can do whenever a card is first drawn? In shop, or in the collection?

[sonic cedar]

ur so right

[sonic cedar]

Wdym

[worthy stirrup]

I remember once being able to force a card to always be eternal, and it even happened in the collection, I was hoping to recreate that

[vast night]

bump (context: how do i animate text)

[sonic cedar]

something something smods wiki text styling

something something dynamic descriptions

[modern kindle]

What if we deleted all wikis

[sonic cedar]

I’d blame you and have you covered in tar and feathers

[modern kindle]

What if I eated the tar and feathers
Checkmate

[subtle merlin]

Can i ask my easily-answered questions (abt random things pertaining to Balatro modding, obviously) here?

[sonic cedar]

thats why this exists actually

[subtle merlin]

Oh, sweet!

[viral ember]

Does anyone know anything about shaders? 🙏

I've been trying to add some but they all keep breaking from the same reason

[subtle merlin]

how can i find the length of a played hand?

[viral ember]

"Shader uniform 'mouse_screen_pos' does not exist"

[worthy stirrup]

wrong chat, sorry

[modern kindle]

What you consider the dumbest possible question is valid to be asked provided it has to do with modding
So always feel free to ask

[subtle merlin]

Yay!! (I am immensely stupid at times)

[modern kindle]

You can probably use #context.scoring_hand to get the length I think no? Someone can call me stupid and correct me if I'm wrong

[sonic cedar]

i can do one of those

[modern kindle]

D:

[subtle merlin]

which one is important context here

[sonic cedar]

dill is mad stupid,,,, but also probably right so

theyre mutually exclusive

[modern kindle]

Its true I'm dum
I wear the dunce cap

[vast night]

i found the text styling (thanks!)
but i coulddnt find anything about dynamic descriptions

[subtle merlin]

you solved my question so yoinks and puts on

[sonic cedar]

oh thats a whole thing that my 3 in the morning brain would rather explode than explain

[daring fern]

That's in Localization

[worthy stirrup]

how the fuck does loc_var work again lol

[vast night]

lol

[vast night]

thx

[modern kindle]

Im glad to be of help :D

[subtle merlin]

im so stupid, your solution to my problem was right there if i had just bothered to scroll up

[sonic cedar]

there’s gullible on the ceiling

[sleek cliff]

how can I have a tarot chose a random Joker to destroy

[daring fern]

Get a pseudorandom_element of G.jokers.cards then start_dissolve() it.

[modern kindle]

Oh did someone else already answer it before me

I didn't notice

[subtle merlin]

Right, i forgot that was there

[subtle merlin]

no, in the code im copying editing writing

[modern kindle]

Ah icic

Erm well I'm taking credit I'm a genius I'm super smart they call me Mr smarts

[sleek cliff]

I doubt I'm right, but I think im close to something

I also want it to destroy a specific set of Jokers

[worthy stirrup]

    update = function(self, card, dt)
        self.ability.extra.chips = tonumber(os.date('%d'))
      self.ability.extra.mult = tonumber(os.date('%m'))
            self.time = (self.timer or 0) + dt
            if self.timer >= 1 then
                    self.timer = self.timer - 1
                        self.ability.extra.chips = tonumber(os.date('%d'))
                      self.ability.extra.mult = tonumber(os.date('%m'))
            end
    end

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                self.ability.extra.chips,
                self.ability.extra.mult,
                }
                    }
    end,

[daring fern]

You should be using card not self

[worthy stirrup]

it crashed when i was using card

[daring fern]

Log?

[worthy stirrup]

one sec

line 621 is this line btw

        card.ability.extra.chips = tonumber(os.date('%d'))

any ideas?

[daring fern]

Do you have extra in config?

[worthy stirrup]

i have this

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.chips,
                card.ability.extra.mult,
                }
                    }
    end,

[daring fern]

Yes, but what about config.

[worthy stirrup]

i assume not, i dont know about config

[daring fern]

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

[subtle merlin]

Since we're still slightly on the topic, how would i dissolve a specific scored card?

[daring fern]

You wouldn't, you would use context.destroy_card

[subtle merlin]

that makes so much more sense, ty!

so like context.destroy_card.math.random(#context.scoring_hand)?

[daring fern]

No.

Also don't use math.random

[subtle merlin]

alr

[echo aurora]

can this be coded? like the only way to spawn this joker is if this specific joker destroys another specific joker?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[echo aurora]

How?

[daring fern]

Are these specific jokers jokers you made?

[echo aurora]

Yes

[primal terrace]

I think you can reference how Gros Michel and Cavendish work

[subtle merlin]

so just context.destroy_card and it automatically targets a random card?

[daring fern]

No.

[subtle merlin]

I'm missing smth here

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card then
    return {remove = true}
end
``` Would destroy all cards in hand, in play, in deck and in discard.

[subtle merlin]

interesting, im still struggling with how you would make it remove a card from the scored cards, something to do with replacing the {remove = true} with a random number in the context of scored_hand, right?

[daring fern]

No.

[subtle merlin]

im just at a loss then

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play then
    return {remove = true}
end
``` Would destroy all cards in scoring.

[faint yacht]

== for conditions, = for assignment.

[snow vale]

how to find something in a list?

[daring fern]

table.contains(table, element)?

[faint yacht]

table.contains isn't built-in...

[daring fern]

Yes.

[snow vale]

oh

[subtle merlin]

            for _, scoringCard in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do 
                if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play do
                    return remove = true
                    break
                end
            end

?
-# (i forgot the return but i meant to put it so i edited it in)

im stressing my 5 braincells and this i feel is close?

[daring fern]

No.

[snow vale]

why wouldnt you use return

[daring fern]

If you want to destoy every scoring card, the code I provided does that.

[snow vale]

that's what i wanted to say

[subtle merlin]

i want it to destroy just one random scored card

[daring fern]

function table.contains(table, element)
    if table and type(table) == "table" then
        for _, value in pairs(table) do
            if value == element then
                return true
            end
        end
        return false
    end
end

[snow vale]

yeah table.contains doesnt exist i think

[daring fern]

Yes.

[snow vale]

oh

yeah if i create it

ok thanks

how can i delete an item of a list without having its position in the list?

[daring fern]

table.remove(table, position)

[snow vale]

yeah, but i have the item name, and not the number

[daring fern]

You would loop over the table and find it then.

[snow vale]

oh

okk

[subtle merlin]

im just going to make it destroy the leftmost card and call that joker "done" im tired of working on this one

[daring fern]

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1] then
    return {remove = true}
end

[wintry solar]

It’s not hard, you’re just being given awful help

What’s the effect you want to do?

[subtle merlin]

i think the specification of "one random card" was overlooked at first, and i wouldn't call it "bad" bc it actually made me try and think

[subtle merlin]

at first i wanted it to destroy a random card in the scoring hand but im going with the leftmost card so that i can work on any other joker

[wintry solar]

For a random card to be destroyed, you’ll need to select a card in a previous context, I’d usually use context.before, and assign it a flag, then in context.destroy_card you check to see if the card has that flag and then return remove = true

I helped someone do a similar effect that destroyed a random scored face card yesterday if you need a code example

[subtle merlin]

id imagine its the same code but added an extra check for face cards, and sure

[wintry solar]

Yeah pretty much

#💻・modding-dev message

[maiden phoenix]

pseudorandom_element(face_count, pseudoseed('exampleseed')).ability.destroyed_by_sizzziii holy what you can do that?

[subtle merlin]

question that's much simpler but is related: why is pseudorandom_element used instead of math.random?

[wintry solar]

All of the pseudo functions respect the game seed, so you’ll have expected outcomes if you reload a snapshot

[maiden phoenix]

So that if you play seeded runs you always get the same result

[viral ember]

Can you replace music on the fly?

[subtle merlin]

ooohhhhhh, yea that is important here, ty!

[daring fern]

Yes.

[viral ember]

wait the shop does that

ok thanks

[subtle merlin]

this means that pseudorandom_element(#context.scoring_hand, psudoseed('balala')) would get a random number that can still be seeded?

[wintry solar]

It’ll give you a card

[subtle merlin]

a card that was scored or a card in the deck?

[faint yacht]

Scored.

context.scoring_hand, rather than #context.scoring_hand, at that.

[subtle merlin]

(I really hope this is a yes bc I'm getting more and more tired the more i think of this)
Does that mean i can use that to replace the 1 in:

if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card == context.scoring_hand[1] then
    return {remove = true}
end

and it'll select a random scored card to destroy?

[bold sleet]

fuck does this mean?

crashes when hovering over planet cards.

[faint yacht]

...well, it should... but it will do it for every card which can cause more than intended card amount to be destroyed.

[daring fern]

It seems that Talisman is causing issues.

[subtle merlin]

oh because of identical copies, remove the brackets and add a break maybe?

[bold sleet]

Crashes when I have another mod (Fool's Gambit) on, but the fun part is that said mod does NOT touch that shit in any way I know.

[faint yacht]

As was said, just "mark" a card for destruction in context.before with pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, psudoseed('balala')) giving you said random card... then, in context.destroy_card, check for said mark.

[cerulean bane]

try updating your mods? You’re definitely on outdated smods

[paper zealot]

That's the latest release, nothing wrong with that

[paper zealot]

Looks like more Talisman shenanigans. Try starting a new run first, and if that crashes, try a new save profile

[cerulean bane]

latest commit is typically better because reasons

[paper zealot]

Except for the times when it's worse because reasons

[primal robin]

[bold sleet]

Still crashes :

[wintry solar]

I’d recommend most people using the latest release nowadays

-# minus the view deck crash oops

Speaking of which, @paper zealot I think BMM is targeted at the main branch, do you think you could take a look at that?

[maiden phoenix]

Eremel do you know if first_hand_drawn occurs before or after Blind:stay_flipped?

It's kinda weird cuz blind debuff happens after so idk why flipped would occur before

[paper zealot]

At this point BMM downloads the latest release for Steamodded by default. Same for Talisman and Cryptid also, I've pushed for it to become the norm.
The balatro-mod-index entries are misleading for Steamodded and Talisman specifically, they're manually implemented within BMM instead

[wintry solar]

Oh sweet that’s fine then

[paper zealot]

Though for the sake of other programs that want to use the index, we should probably update the links to release too

[wintry solar]

I believe it happens after

[maiden phoenix]

Sadge

It occurs before 😔

[wintry solar]

Yeah hand drawn is after

If flipped happened after the cards would be drawn and then flipped I believe

[maiden phoenix]

There's no context that fetches cards before flipping?

[wintry solar]

I don’t think so

[maiden phoenix]

I don't think setting_blind would work

[wintry solar]

What are you looking to do?

[maiden phoenix]

Oh hands_played_at_create exists

Prevent flip and debuff on first hand drawn cards

[maiden phoenix]

nvm that might not work with discards

[wintry solar]

You could always just unflip the cards if there’s no way to tell stay flipped to not do it

I’ve not looked properly at the blind calc stuff tbh

[maiden phoenix]

Oh right since it occurs after the flip I can just do that 😅

If I put a return { prevent_stay_flipped = true} in a context.first_hand_drawn check it won't persist right?

Not sure if the prevent is for current or any future cards, I need to test it

SMODS.recalc_flip when?

[wintry solar]

I don’t think it’ll do anything in first hand drawn

[maiden phoenix]

Darn

[wintry solar]

It’s a flag unique to stay flipped

You could set a flag on the joker in setting blind and remove it in first hand drawn

That should allow you to use stay flipped properly

[maiden phoenix]

True, good idea, ty 👍

[wintry solar]

i think

[maiden phoenix]

Got it working, thanks again, never made such a joker with many context checks 😅

[paper zealot]

Praise be to the context wizard

[primal robin]

Maybe it's about time to make some functions for checking triggers step for contexts?

[wintry solar]

I need to finish the calc docs

That should have a complete ordering of contexts when it’s done

Maybe a debug function would help too

[primal robin]

Like, ```
context.is_playing_card_scoring = function()
return context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play
end

-- or

SMODS.CTX.is_playing_card_scoring = function(context)
return context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play
end

[maiden phoenix]

I have something like that to prevent bp effects and retriggers 😅

[primal robin]

As a bonus, adding this checks can provide better types

[maiden phoenix]

Also SMODS.in_scoring exists

but that's more for utility than calculating purpose I guess

[wintry solar]

I’m not sure I agree on the need for something like that

[primal robin]

This also provides more opportunities for overriding, if some modder decide to add "disable all in hand triggers" or "trigger this things also when..." effect for own joker

Also, easier to adjust when main game updates will happen

This can be achieved easy by providing metatable with some getters for functions, and types for them

Is this enough arguments?

[wintry solar]

Can’t SMODS.can_calculate be used for most of those effects if we passed the context through to it?
Doing something like this would be a major breaking change if you wanted the functions to be hooked for other effects, and would require rewriting the entirety of vanilla calculate joker - main game updates would definitely not be easier to adjust for. It would be a huge undertaking and I can’t see the community being willing to learn a load of other new checks to be required during calculation to allow for proper mod compatibility, when we already have the context system allowing very specific checks to be done and the option to patch/hook the various calculation functions to allow for “do this thing when …” effects

[bold sleet]

Hey, again, how does one save data only inside a given run.

i.e. the value doesn't get lost when restarting the game or exiting a run, but does get reset when the player starts a new run.

[maiden phoenix]

for a card, put it in card.ability otherwise G.GAME works too

[bold sleet]

-# how does G.GAME work, exactly?

[maiden phoenix]

It's a table initiated in the function Game:start_run that likes initialize all necessary value and acts as a save table

[bold sleet]

oh

Cool!

Now, is there a way to create a ticking function inside the game

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about making something float like The Soul does
I'm looking at the Vanilla Remade code and I'm not sure what specifically brings forth the specific texture

[maiden phoenix]

set the soul_pos

it's like pos but for soul sprite

[bold sleet]

ye

[thorn furnace]

o
thank u :3

[spare wren]

How can I make a joker instantly polychrome when it appears in the shop or is added to the jokers table?

[manic rune]

check set_ability in SMODS.Joker

[orchid nest]

Hey does anyone know how to prevent a joker from showing up in the shop? Or can someone tell me where the code is in the shop to prevent jokers from spawning?

[manic rune]

check in_pool in SMODS.Joker

[orchid nest]

tyvm! :)

[orchid nest]

in_pool = function (self, args)
    return false
end
``` so would this work?

i just dont want the joker to show up in shops that's it

no conditonal stuffs

[red flower]

when need a check the docs command

[orchid nest]

tru

[red flower]

that works but do you want the joker to still spawn for like judgement and stuff?

[orchid nest]

no

[red flower]

oh ok then that's fine

[orchid nest]

but that'd be a good thing to know actually

if you can tell me so i can write that down :p

[red flower]

well if u wont need it i wont tell u :p

(it's long to write)

[orchid nest]

i mean idk if i'll need it in the future is all =w=

oh ok

then i wont bother 😭

[red flower]

i have written it before but i need to find it

but basically args.source in in_pool has the source of the spawning

[coarse plank]

how would one code this silly little idea I had

[viral ember]

Why does it say I have 0/3 seals?

They're all discovered

[red flower]

context.poker_hands contains the list of hands inside so you can check that for the 3oak and the pair probably

[coarse plank]

how would I do something after the hand is played, I am trying to make a joker instantly win the blind when meeting a certian condition

[bold sleet]

Hey question, where tf do used (i.e. scored, discarded) cards go?

[red flower]

G.discard

[bold sleet]

oh

ty

[maiden phoenix]

context.after

[coarse plank]

so I tried that however I still get the error message of "attempt to index field state [a number value]" at like 138

[snow vale]

what's the context for ending antes

[coarse plank]

this is my little evil joker idea I am trying to make

setting the condition to high card just for testing at the moment

[snow vale]

where's the joker text 😠

on the card

[coarse plank]

too much drawing for little ol me

[snow vale]

just use a premade, and make the art from there

[orchid nest]

how do I add this side text?

[red flower]

info_queue

[orchid nest]

ty!

[orchid nest]

where would i find more information about info_queue?

Sorry if I'm being a lil annoying 😭

oh wait i see now nvm!!!

i found it lol

Okay wait now how would I add the description of a specific Joker?

[red flower]

ah ok ty

mod key too?

[red flower]

yes

[orchid nest]

sounds good

[red flower]

im tired :3
https://github.com/VilleKokkarinen/SampleJimbos/issues/1

[orchid nest]

so real :3

whenever i hover over flesh prison this happens, can someone understand what I'm doing wrong? I'm guessing it's cause of the info queue.

[orchid nest]

Okay so it actually has nothing to do with the loc_vars????

[echo aurora]

I think it's something to do with your config?

[orchid nest]

maybe?

imma change it from set to extra and see if that fixes it

[echo aurora]

instead of set make it key

[orchid nest]

(i also fixed the atlas typo already lol)

[orchid nest]

oop that was it

coolio

[echo aurora]

Nice

[drowsy acorn]

what context do i use if i want a joker to do stuff when its destroyed?

[daring fern]

You don't, you use the remove_from_deck function.

[viral ember]

yea

[drowsy acorn]

dont know how i missed that

[daring fern]

How does one make a new tab on the Run Info menu specifically to the right of Poker Hands?

[drowsy acorn]

and how do i make sure it doesnt happen when sold?

[daring fern]

You would have to set a flag on context.selling_self

[drowsy acorn]

is it as easy as doing

        if not from_debuff and not context.selling_self then
        print'boom'
        end
    end```
?

[daring fern]

No.

Are you just looking for the joker being destroyed?

[drowsy acorn]

yeah

[daring fern]

Maybe it would be better to hook Card:remove() and make a context.

[night juniper]

i've just added a new keyboard layout to typist, it's pretty trivial code-wise. if you have suggestions or ideas around an intuitive one handed layout you can send them in the mod's thread or in a github issue and i'll implement it. i also want to implement talonvoice commands that map to typist keypresses at some point to make the game accessible to that voice control users (but im not that good at using talon or writing code for it)

[daring fern]

‎

[spice wadi]

i dont think i saw anyone respond to this so if i had to guess, you can check specifically for if its a boss at the end of the round

i think some jokers like rocket operate like this actually

time to open vanillaremade

if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and G.GAME.blind.boss then

[daring fern]

Or at least some mods that do similar for reference?

[plush depot]

whats wrong here someone help?

enhancment btw

[daring fern]

You need loc_vars

[plush depot]

where do i need that

[echo aurora]

where to find vanilla remade?

[misty gorge]

guys do i make my balatro mod jokers unlocked and discovered by default or :3c, im planning to upload what i have to github rn and i don't want any bad surprises to happen when people actually download it

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[daring fern]

discovered = true and unlocked = true

In the joker definition.

[misty gorge]

Well yeah I know how to do that, i'm moreso asking if i should

[daring fern]

I feel that's more of a https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506360987877408 question.

[misty gorge]

Fair enough

[daring fern]

In your enhancement.

[plush depot]

oh really

but i mean like just anywhere not in brackets or?

nvm i figured it out

[daring fern]

Also, move Xmult out of the extra and make it x_mult

[plush depot]

ok

[coarse plank]

How do I balanced the base chips and mult?

[daring fern]

Do return {balance = true}

[paper lava]

tips on making my blind compatible with matador?

[daring fern]

Use blind.triggered in calculate.

[coarse plank]

I think I messed up

[daring fern]

You need to make a custom context.

[coarse plank]

mmm i see, this is my current code

i dont know how to do a custom context

[daring fern]

Do you know how to lovely patch?

[pure salmon]

SMODS.Enhancement {
    key = 'wooden',
    loc_txt = {
    name = 'Wooden Card',
    text = {
        "{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult",
        },
    atlas = 'gb_Enhancements',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { Xmult = 1.5 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.Xmult } }
    end
}

this is an abridged bit of code from my own mod. as you can see loc_vars is used to show values when you hover over the card, so that you could change Xmult (not x_mult) in the config and have that reflected across the rest of the code

[coarse plank]

😨 no

[paper zealot]

This comma will need to be removed, as the return statement isn't part of a list

[pure salmon]

that too

[wintry solar]

when do you want the balance to happen?

[pure salmon]

but you never set a value in loc_vars (that's what config is for), it's only used to show values in descriptions

[floral narwhal]

Whats this codes problem? when i play this enh nothing happens.

[coarse plank]

before any scoring happen, so its just base chips and mult being balanced, and only when playing flush/full house

[paper zealot]

For spotting simple syntax errors like this, I recommend installing the Lua extension for VSCode.
It's also generally helpful to include the line numbers in your screenshots, especially for syntax-based errors

[plush depot]

ill do it later

[paper zealot]

You can just click the install button, it's very easy

[pure salmon]

i'm trying to do this blind effect:
The Lance - Cards discarded this Ante are drawn face-down
so i look at the pillar's code, and there's a card ability called played_this_ante. okay. i can't find where it's set, or where it changes, only when it resets (which looks as if it has an SMODS inject for resetting abilities like this) and when pillar checks if played_this_ante is true for debuffing. how would i do this effect?

[daring fern]

It's set in G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted

[floral narwhal]

Full code : SMODS.Enhancement {
key = "two",
atlas = "two2",
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

replace_base_card = false,
no_suit = false,
no_rank = false,
always_scores = false,

loc_txt = {
name = "Double Card",
text = {
"After being played,",
"splits into {C:attention}two{} cards"
}
},

set_card_type_badge = function(self, card, badges)
badges[#badges+1] = create_badge("Double", G.C.ORANGE, G.C.WHITE, 1.2)
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.after and context.card == card then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
blocking = true,
func = function()
card:remove()

               ` for i = 1, 2 do`
                    `local new_card = create_card("Base", G.deck, nil, nil, nil, nil)`
                  `  new_card:set_base(card.base)`
                   ` new_card:add_to_deck()`
                    `new_card:start_materialize()`
                   ` new_card:juice_up()`
                `end`

               ` return true`
           ` end`
      `  }))`
    `end`
`end`

}

[daring fern]

context.card doesn't exist in context.after

[floral narwhal]

Ok lemme try it

[pure salmon]

of course it was in the one place i didn't look. now that i've found it, it's also right below a function that does the same thing for discards. i've found a good place for a patch, but i don't know how to add a variable to card.ability and how to have it show up in reset_keys

[daring fern]

‎

[acoustic briar]

does anyone know how i can get my mod to detect when mipmap levels are changed? manual sprite replacement w/SMODS.Atlas + raw_key works fine but the sprite changes are discarded when mipmap levels are changed, so i just need a pointer on how to detect that and trigger an event as soon as it happens

[hollow snow]

is there a mod/option to get any joker,etc so i can debug easily?

thank you

[turbid crystal]

how could i go abt creating a blueprint-esque joker that was compatible with all jokers and effects (including copying upgrades and stuff)

[spice wadi]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/713f51e2fa3744b385a83491057a3f60eb385601/src/jokers.lua#L3831
read from here

this is the vanillaremade version of the blueprint joker

[turbid crystal]

isnt that just a regular blueprint tho

how do i make it compatible with all jokers

[pure salmon]

how do i put a key into this reset_keys function (card.lua) with this SMODS helper function?

[red flower]

im guessing from that code that you just return a list of keys

[pure salmon]

i'm not sure where the set_ability_reset_keys would even go

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.set_ability_reset_keys = function() return {"discarded_this_ante"} end?

[coarse plank]

Anyone know how to fix this little misshap?

[gaunt thistle]

thanks to everyone who contributed to the release :-)

[wintry solar]

does it fix macos cross mod patches?

[daring fern]

You require a custom context.

[hollow turtle]

How do I check how much money the player has?

[gaunt thistle]

yep

[wintry solar]

🥳

[gaunt thistle]

and I think it should behave better when you restart the game

but that was a wilson feature so I don't know for sure

[daring fern]

G.GAME.dollars

[coarse plank]

I did it by stealing the flint's code xd

[hollow turtle]

Much obliged

[solid mesa]

im sorry to ask, but what "G" stands for? i see it commonly

[daring fern]

[solid mesa]

so game.game.dollars?

[gaunt thistle]

global

[solid mesa]

oh

ty

[red flower]

_G.G.GAME

[coarse plank]

what context would I use to do something after a specfic hand is played, not during scoring but afterwords

[daring fern]

context.after?

[coarse plank]

have tried that, I am making a joker that wins the blind outright and I believe I am winning the blind during scoring which gives me an error

[daring fern]

Code?

[coarse plank]

the high card part is just for testing

[red flower]

try

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    blocking = false,
    func     = function()
        if G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND then
            G.GAME.chips     = G.GAME.blind.chips
            G.STATE          = G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED
            G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
            end_round()
            return true
        end
    end
}))

idk what that formatting is

[coarse plank]

it works, thank you!

[viral ember]

"if if ret then"?

[coarse plank]

after using this code with the psychic my game crashes when playing less than 5 cards

[hollow sphinx]

making an enhancement that scales every time a card of its type is scored, but its value resets if the game is closed in the middle of a run, and saves if you end the run and play a different game

[hybrid shadow]

is context.individual when the card is scored?

[red flower]

does it have a crashlog

[daring fern]

‎

[coarse plank]

Here, it only happens after pressing the cash out button oddly

wait

im stupid

ignore all this

[daring fern]

It's when playing cards are scored yes.

[hollow sphinx]

I do still need help with this

[daring fern]

You need to put it in config.

[hollow sphinx]

changed it to that, but when I play a flush for example, each card played in that flush gains 1 mult when I want EVERY card with that enhancement to gain 1 mult for each played card

[daring fern]

Do you only want present ones to gain it or all ones that ever exist in that run?

[hollow sphinx]

all ones that ever exist

[daring fern]

Change everything to self.config instead of card.ability

[hollow sphinx]

that works, thank you

[snow vale]

ok thanks (sry for late ans)

[echo aurora]

What do I do so that before this is executed it checks if the destroyed joker is the right one?

[normal crest]

only call the event if the condition is met?

[daring fern]

I think I did it:

[echo aurora]

yea

[coarse plank]

How do I separate the three of a kind and pair from a full house, like do something that only effects one of them

[daring fern]

if context.scoring_name == "Three of a Kind" or context.scoring_name == "Pair"?

[tardy juniper]

is there any like page with a list of all the context thingies? I couldn't find any

[daring fern]

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

[tardy juniper]

thanks :3

[shell kite]

How can i increase the rank of a card?
For example, 4 to ace?

[daring fern]

SMODS.change_base(card, nil, "Ace")

[shell kite]

Thanks

[hybrid shadow]

does balance = true work for things other than the plasma deck? (looking at vanillaremade rn)

[coarse plank]

yes, I have used it in a joker before

[coarse plank]

here is how I used it

[daring fern]

It works for everything that uses calculate.

[echo aurora]

this correct?

[daring fern]

No.

[echo aurora]

What's wrong?

[north lodge]

How do I access the debug menu? It's time to thoroughly test my mod out now xP

[daring fern]

SMODS.find_card would return a table of cards.

[daring fern]

Press Tab

[echo aurora]

then how do I make it check for a specific joker?

[last cargo]

Is it possible to create an Edition that blocks the effect of the Joker card?🤔

[red flower]

so debuffed?

[last cargo]

right

[daring fern]

if sliced_card.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_key"

[shell kite]

I forgot to ask how exactly it is used 😅

[red flower]

probably but what would the difference be with debuffed

[wintry solar]

that's reasonably simple to do nowadays

[hybrid shadow]

do you know if smth is wrong with this calculate function then (sticker code)

[echo aurora]

Thank you! I've been stomped on this for 2 hours

[daring fern]

Try context.main_scoring

[hybrid shadow]

instead of context.individual?

[daring fern]

Instead of everything between if and then

[hybrid shadow]

k, gonna test that rq

and it works now, thx

[wintry solar]

is this for a joker?

[hybrid shadow]

sticker, it works now

[last cargo]

is there a SMODS.debuff_card()?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

it's in the utility docs

[last cargo]

Thx, I was just looking for the descriptions of these functions.

[hybrid shadow]

am i able to do smth like context.other_card == (card and context.scoring_hand[1])?

[daring fern]

No.

That would just check if it's the first scoring card.

[hybrid shadow]

intended check (sticker code) here is for if the card is the card with the sticker on it (which would be context.other_card == card) and if the card is also the first card in scoring hand (context.scoring_hand[1])

[daring fern]

If you are using context.main_scoring it would be card == context.scoring_hand[1]?

[hybrid shadow]

this isnt for the same sticker but this does help a bit since i am using context.main_scoring on it

and since the context works now the copier code from dna actually works

[north lodge]

I presume I have to enable debug mode for this to work, is that a command line thing or what

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

[north lodge]

Tysm

Weird, I still can't get the menu to open.

Even using ctrl 🤔

[normal crest]

hold tab?

[north lodge]

No, neither tab nor ctrl + tab work. Though from peaking through the thread for the mod, it seems there are some incompatibilities with Brainstorm, so I will remove that

EDIT: This was the answer.

[stiff quiver]

hi, i made this code for an enhancement so the cards with it destroy themselves when the blind starts but its not working. What did i do wrong? lua calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then return { chips = card:get_id() * 10 } end if context.setting_blind then SMODS.destroy_cards(card) end end}

i know (G.GAME.blind.boss) is used to detect boss blinds but how do i do to make it detect the Ante 8/Finisher Boss Blinds ?

[chrome widget]

Oh yeah, curious, can you use the glasst trigger context to somehow prevent a glass card from breaking?

[long sun]

what would be the best way to get the previously played hand? do i need to hook calculate_context, to write that to G?

[granite nymph]

jokerforge sucks

[zealous mauve]

what is the file name for the music when you are in-game

nvm

why is it slowed down though

[chrome widget]

A number of sounds/music in the game have altered pitches from the original files

[zealous mauve]

how would i replace the main menu music

with another song

[daring fern]

You would use SMODS.Sound and select_music_track and do return G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU I think.

[zealous mauve]

ok

[stiff quiver]

i made this in order to create a bunch of cards a custom suit but for some reason its sometimes creating cards of another suit, whats wrong? lua for i = 1,card.ability.extra.amount do G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ func = function() local _rank = pseudorandom_element({"2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14"},pseudoseed("seed")) local _card = create_playing_card({ front = G.P_CARDS["G"..'_'.._rank], center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base}, G.deck, nil, nil, {G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced}) _card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["m_gold"], nil, true) return true end})) end

[red flower]

I don't think so because by that point they're already in the cards_destroyed table

hi dilly

[chrome widget]

darn

[modern kindle]

:D

[chrome widget]

Always looking for ways I can simplify stuff

[modern kindle]

Easy just take ownership it or patch it teehee

[red flower]

a prevent_remove return would be cool actually

[long sun]

(bump)

[daring fern]

Try looking at Blue Seal

[zealous mauve]

how much lua do i need to know in order to start making a simple mod

[chrome widget]

No I do take ownership, the issue with Glass cards specifically is because they have built in x_mult in their ability table. So the take ownrship is a lot more invasive because it has to remove that value

And probably may be funky with other mods

So yeah prevent_remove would be awesome tbh

[modern kindle]

Is that a new pr i smell

[upbeat bronze]

yaknow what fair nuff u were right last night bout context before

[chrome widget]

I could see a ton of issues with clarifying what specifically it's preventing though

Since if you have multiple remove effects at once it gets weird

[red flower]

Most prevent_X returns don't care about what's preventing

or all im just saying most because im not sure

so if you return prevent_debuff it always take priority over any debuffs

[modern kindle]

but what if I want to prevent all debuffs besides one debuff but give priority to no debuffs whilst giving a single debuff

[chrome widget]

Basically my use case is this card

[long sun]

aha, it already exists as G.GAME.last_hand_played :D cheers

[zealous mauve]

would i need to know more lua, or understand the steamodded documentation better

[umbral zodiac]

boss is just true/false
you'd likely have to check if the ante is a multiple of 8 instead

unless there is some stat that shows if it is a showdown, but boss.showdown isn't a thing since boss is only true or false and not a table

[glass crown]

im trying to make an edition that makes cards impossible to disable or destroy, does anyone have any idea of how id go about that?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss.showdown?

[umbral zodiac]

ariral detected
also personally i would go with hooking whatever function handles trying to destroy a card, checking if it has that edition, and if it does then not running the original function

[glass crown]

alright alright

[modern kindle]

For debuffs you can prob just return that prevent_debuffs

[pale holly]

going to use it and see where it goes

[gusty iron]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.other_card.debuff and pseudorandom("blue") <= G.GAME.probabilities.normal / 4 then
SMODS.change_base(card, "Clubs")
            return {
                message = "Converted!",
                colour = G.C.CLUBS
            }
end

its not working

it shows the message but like

[daring fern]

It should be context.other_card not card

[chrome widget]

Curiosity if someone can help me figure this out. I have a card that's supposed to treat Steel Jacks as Glass Cards, but for some reason this also appears to treat any other cards regardless of enhancement as glass cards????

    if context.other_card.config.center.key == 'm_steel' and context.other_card.base.value == 'Jack' then
        sendDebugMessage('returning glass enhancement')
        return {
            ['m_glass'] = true,
        }
    end
end```

[hybrid shadow]

is there a list of base game sounds anywhere

[daring fern]

resources/sounds in the source game files?

[chrome widget]

........huh

It seems like there's a long string here where context.other_card consistently only refers to the jack card

???????????

[coarse plank]

How do you add custom negatives sprites for your jokers, it’s safe to say mine are not looking good at all.

[daring fern]

You mean change what the joker looks like when it is negative?

[coarse plank]

Yes, mine are practically pure white xd

[chrome widget]

You'd have to overwrite the default negative shader

[wintry solar]

you could hook set_edition and change the sprite position when negative is applied/unapplied

[wintry solar]

this looks like something else is destroying the cards

    n = G.UIT.R,
    config = {
        align = "cm"
    },
    nodes = {
        create_option_cycle({
            label = "Ante",
            scale = 0.8,
            w = 4,
            options = antes,
            no_pips = true,
            opt_callback = "change_search_ante",
            colour = G.C.PURPLE,
            current_option = Showman.config.SEEK.search_ante or 1
        })
    }
},
{
    n = G.UIT.R,
    config = {
        align = "cm",
        scale = 0.6
    },
    nodes = {
        UIBox_button({
            button = 'set_to_current_ante',
            label = {"Set to Current Ante"},
            colour = G.C.PURPLE
        })
    }
}

Currently the button function changes Showman.config.SEEK.search_ante which does change it, but it requires the user to back out of the menu and go back in for the change to be reflected.

Okay, fixed it

Yay

I'll spam here that 0.8.0 is officially out https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/releases/tag/v0.8.0

[modern kindle]

Youre super smart

[fallow juniper]

how would you go about referencing multiple jokers with info_queue and not having duplicate tooltips display?
(ie. both referenced jokers also reference negative, making the negative tooltip display twice)

[daring fern]

You would do info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = "j_modprefix_key", set = "Joker"}

[fallow juniper]

would this go on the base joker, the ones with the negative tooltip or both?

[wise terrace]

I just released the first release of my mod

would be happy if you guys check it out and leave feedback (both on the code and the balance) tysm

[daring fern]

The base one.

[fallow juniper]

also does this work with custom types?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[thorn furnace]

Do Jokers have a draw = function(self, card, layer) function or is that just consumables

just checking

[daring fern]

Yes.

[thorn furnace]

oki

[pure salmon]

this is vanilla code with my patch inserted in for readability, for some reason this isn't working

i also have this patch to reset it alongaside played_this_ante

i'm trying to get discarded_this_ante to keep track of which cards to debuff for a boss blind

[gaunt thistle]

what kind of not working?

[pure salmon]

doesn't do anything, not crashing

here's the boss blind code

[gaunt thistle]

and the patch is applying aok?

[pure salmon]

it's not crashing

can i check if it's applying correctly

[gaunt thistle]

do you see the result of the patch in the dumps?

yeah

you can check in the dump folder

[maiden phoenix]

It's also possible the function is fully overwritten

[pure salmon]

no other mods loaded except debug_plus

[gaunt thistle]

yeah, another reason to check the dumps

[pure salmon]

where do i look for those

[maiden phoenix]

Mods/lovely/dump

[thorn furnace]

How do I get rid of the The Soul sprite from some of my cards
Not sure why they're showing up; the soul_pos is set to other spots in my atlas

[tardy juniper]

what does this error mean?

there's... nothing there

[north lodge]

Show more of the code

[tardy juniper]

this is the entire thing

[thorn furnace]

you missed an end line 75

[tardy juniper]

oh i see

i've never coded in this language lmao thank you

[thorn furnace]

no problem

[pure salmon]

doesn't seem like it (should patch right after calculate_seal)

[gaunt thistle]

I don't see your target pattern in that screenshot

is it elsewhere?

[maiden phoenix]

Does your object have an atlas? Show one of them's code

[thorn furnace]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'requiem_softAndWet',
  config = {extra = {}},
  rarity = "jojo_requiem",
  cost = 50,
  blueprint_compat = true,
    
  atlas = "jokers",
  pos = { x = 7, y = 5 },
  soul_pos = { x = 8, y = 5 },

  -- Imagine the rest of my code goes here
}

[pure salmon]

the first applies in discard_cards_from_highlighted, and the second in end_round

[maiden phoenix]

Oh yea because your atlas is the same as the vanilla one I think

[thorn furnace]

oh

So I just have to rename it then?

[maiden phoenix]

Try it, it won't hurt you (maybe)

[thorn furnace]

time to hope find and replace didn't hurt anything

[gaunt thistle]

yeah but is this from the dump or

[thorn furnace]

didn't seem to work

[daring fern]

No, it adds a prefix automatically.

[pure salmon]

yeah

[gaunt thistle]

yeah so your patches aren't applying correctly

not sure why

verify that your patterns are accurate and your patches are in the right place

[thorn furnace]

I was about to say "this didn't happen with my consumable" but I can't tell if it did or didn't because the soul sprite is too big to tell

[red flower]

isn't it functions/state_events

[pure salmon]

oh

yeah that makes sense

oops

[tardy juniper]

same code but straight replaced by five of a kind
why did it just..... explode

[thorn furnace]

is that how it's spelt

/capitalized

[tardy juniper]

Five of a kind

[mystic flume]

Can you make mods for balatro on a steam deck

[gaunt thistle]

yep, it's just a compooter

[tardy juniper]

i mean it works like a pc so i guess so

[mystic flume]

Oh cool

Well I guess what I'm really asking is can you make mods for balatro on linux

[thorn furnace]

apparently this has something to do with the draw function

draw = function(self, card, layer)
  if (layer == 'card' or layer == 'both') and card.sprite_facing == 'front' then
    local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +    0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)) * math.pi * 14) * (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 3
    local rotate_mod = 0.1 * math.sin(1.219 * G.TIMERS.REAL) + 0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL) * math.pi * 5) * (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 2
                
    G.shared_soul.role.draw_major = card
    G.shared_soul:draw_shader('dissolve', 0, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod, nil,
    0.1 + 0.03 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL), nil, 0.6)
    G.shared_soul:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
  end
end

Guessing it has to do with G.shared_soul, though I was under the impression that was just the specific soul sprite of the card in question
I was going for something to imitate how it moves

[maiden phoenix]

Do you mess with a drawstep or hooked/overrides a drawing function? What if you redo the atlas and joker alone in it's own standalone mod?

[tardy juniper]

right, the line number changed.

[wintry solar]

G.shared_soul is specifically the floating sprite for the soul

[thorn furnace]

o

how do I just do the second sprite instead

[maiden phoenix]

The second sprite? You mean like Hologram's floating Jimbo?

[north lodge]

Bump

[thorn furnace]

well I have two sprite things on my cards
You can see both, there's the floating text and the normal text, the soul is sandwiched in between

the sprite the soul_pos variable uses

[maiden phoenix]

And you tried with the atlas key changed?

[thorn furnace]

yep

[hasty mist]

doing a rewrite of a cryptid joker, any reason this displays as nil in the collection but is fine ingame?

[maiden phoenix]

Is possible the variable used only exists in game

[tardy juniper]

is it like spelled wrong or something?

[hasty mist]

i'm not sure, it references the same variables as the original joker to my knowledge

[red flower]

maybe the vars return is nested in the same if condition as the main_end

[maiden phoenix]

Check if context.poker_hands exists before doing the next check

[mystic flume]

Does the banana do that?

[hasty mist]

nope

[red flower]

oh idk what cry_prob is

[mystic flume]

Hmm

[hasty mist]

i don't believe it's relevant, it

[mystic flume]

What are you spellchecking

[maiden phoenix]

Try and compare your stuff with other joker mods that uses soul sprite

[red flower]

what's the rest of the loc_vars

[tardy juniper]

i don't know 😭

[thorn furnace]

seems pretty identical minus the draw function

[red flower]

it's exactly what i said

[maiden phoenix]

Oh your joker has a draw function? Can you show it?

[thorn furnace]

#💻・modding-dev message
Need to replace shared_soul with something

[hasty mist]

what should i do then?

[mystic flume]

Are you sure that's how 5 of a kind is referred to internally?

[red flower]

you can copy the same return outside the if removing the main_end part

[maiden phoenix]

Btw its "Five of a Kind", not "Five of a kind"

It's case-sensitive

[tardy juniper]

oml

[mystic flume]

This is one of the bronze age programming errors, it happens to everyone

[zealous mauve]

is the free codeacademy course on lua enough to start making mods?

[hasty mist]

i think i'm a tad lost

[mystic flume]

I would recommend the love2d wiki, there is an excellent tutorial by sheepolution linked there and some other ones as well

[hasty mist]

the original code looks roughly identical, except that main_end is much longer, which unless im mistaken is no longer needed in my code

[zealous mauve]

ok

[mystic flume]

Love2d is the name of the framework balatro uses

[zealous mauve]

ah

[red flower]

you're returning only when G.jokers exists, that's the problem

[hasty mist]

ohh

i see

so should i move the entire return statement outside the if statement?

or do i need something else

[red flower]

you can do that yes

[mystic flume]

That is a lot of indentation, is that normal for balatro code?

[red flower]

for UI code yes

[mystic flume]

I see

Interesting

[hasty mist]

yeah, this specific code is very bloated and outdated though, which is why i'm rewriting it

[mystic flume]

Oh cool

[ashen ermine]

Hi, new to modding, how can I set the selected deck type and stake in code. eg set it to the blue deck at red stake

[frigid flare]

modding balatro cant be that hard

[subtle merlin]

its hard enough to have a channel dedicated to questions abt it

[frigid flare]

Surely i can figure out how to make a joker

[scenic steeple]

If it's taken me 3 days to code a joker and the card still doesn't actually do anything I think it's hard :,)

[mystic flume]

I mean yahiamice did it, you probably can too

[frigid flare]

I have zero code experience so idk abt that

[subtle merlin]

from scratch it can be hard, especially if you don't look to other mods for reference

[mystic flume]

Go to the love2d wiki and look for tutorials

Sheepolution makes a great one

[scenic steeple]

I've been eyeing up several other mods and I still don't know what's wrong lmao

[red flower]

you don't need to know love2d to mod balatro

only basic lua

[hasty mist]

i only have a month and a half or so of coding experience and ive accomplished things i never even dreamed of

[mystic flume]

I would say for a beginner love2d is a great way to start still

[hasty mist]

i would have probably quit early on if i tried starting with that tbh

[mystic flume]

Is there a spelling mistake in the code

[scenic steeple]

as far as I see, no spelling mistakes but I could be completely missing it, the card exists in game no crashes at all, just when actually playing and testing it, it just doesn't do anything it's supposed to

[mystic flume]

Ah, well I personally learned a lot thanks to learning love2d but that's just my experience, I'll take your guy's word for it

[mystic flume]

How does the card function

Or, how is it meant to function

[subtle merlin]

I'm back with another question 10 hours later:
The below code keeps crashing with the message psudoseed is a nil value but idk why as, by my understanding, it should just be grabbing a random number in the list then assigning enhancement said number

local enhancements = {
    G.P_CENTERS.m_fm_resonant,
    G.P_CENTERS.m_fm_dissected,
    G.P_CENTERS.m_fm_finalized
}
                
local enhancement = enhancements[pseudorandom_element(#enhancements, psudoseed('balalala'))]

[red flower]

pseudoseed

[maiden phoenix]

yea typo

[red flower]

also idk if that syntax is right

#enhancements is a number not a table

[subtle merlin]

i cant believe i overlooked that

[subtle merlin]

ik, its the length of the enhancements table

[red flower]

yes, pseudorandom_element takes tables

[subtle merlin]

oh

[red flower]

you want
local enhancement = pseudorandom_element(enhancements, pseudoseed("seed"))

[subtle merlin]

got it, ty!

[ashen ermine]

Can't figure it out from looking at the base game code

[static dagger]

Hey all, I'm trying to make my first Balatro mod and wanted to make a deck that makes Tarot cards free, but I'm not really sure how to run a function for cards in the shop.

Here's what I have so far, just based on the Steamodded example:

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Vagabonded Deck",
    key = "vagabonded",
    pos = {x = 1, y = 3},
    config = {only_one_rank = "4"},
    loc_txt = {
        name ="Vagabonded Deck",
        text={
            "Start with {C:money}$-20{} and",
            "earn no {C:attention}Interest{}, but all",
            "{C:tarot}Tarot{} cards and packs",
            "are free."
        },
    },
    apply = function(self)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, self.config.only_one_rank))
                end
                
                G.GAME.dollars = -20
                G.GAME.interest_cap = 0
                
                
                return true
            end
        }))
        
        -- Can make cards couponed to make them free?
    end
}

[faint yacht]

...probably would hook into create_card_for_shop and check against type of card...

[tight notch]

does anyone know how to get rid of or hide the lovely window? it's really annoying and whenever i tab out of balatro it will cover my screen until i tab out again and minimize it

[faint yacht]

-# Just my random thought cents.

[maiden phoenix]

You can hook Card:set_cost, it's where Astronomer does its change

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

Thanks!

[hasty mist]

tbh my only issue with it is that if you restart the game it doesn't automatically close the old one

[pliant raft]

How do I change the seal texture in main.lua?

[maiden phoenix]

You mean the mod icon? Otherwise check the Malverk mod

[sweet pelican]

Hi, first time modder, I'm trying to add the amount of consumables to a xmult joker, how do I reference the current amount of filled consumable slots?

[faint yacht]

#G.consumeables.cards

[sweet pelican]

awesome! ty

I'll give it a try

[faint yacht]

Keep in mind mods like Incantation and (more optimal imo) Overflow will "compress" cards into stacks under certain conditions.

[sweet pelican]

okay sure, I'm mostly just doing this as a learning exercise so no biggie but good to know

[faint yacht]

👍

[maiden phoenix]

Or just don't care about them

[faint yacht]

-# Also valid, lmao.

[last cargo]

I am trying to implement an Edition called “Bounty,” which disables the Joker's own effect, but the advantage is that it increases the bounty (i.e., the price at which the Joker is sold) by a large amount each round/ante (with an upper limit).
Regarding the disable effect, I called SMODS.debuff_card(), which worked. However, when modifying the sale price, I tried using card.sell_price = 10, but it did not work.😒

[red flower]

it's sell_cost

but keep in mind any call to card:set_cost() will reset it

[maiden phoenix]

Yea I'd recommend incrementing card.ability.extra_value instead

(It's what "Egg" uses)

[sweet pelican]

It seems to be saying that G.consumeables.cards is a table, so I can't use it for arithmetic, I assume theres some value within the table I should be referencing?

[last cargo]

alright I ll check them

thx

[maiden phoenix]

Don't forget the #

I feel like ive seen mods called so often lately

Invaded by the spams

[formal parrot]

Oh you’re optimizing the code

[subtle merlin]

Fuck i fell for the XY problem

I'm trying to change a card's enhancement to a random enhancement in the list i provided earlier, but it's crashing when i do set_ability(enhancement) even though ive set a card's enhancement before by putting one of the items in the list into where enhancement is. attempt to index local center (a nil value) is the error now

[normal crest]

you're not passing a valid enhancement

What's your code

[subtle merlin]

They're custom enhancements

[wild escarp]

I've got this joker that's meant to make the joker to the right eternal, however, when removing eternal from any jokers not to the right of this joker, it also removes eternal from jokers that were eternal before. Is there some way I could make it only remove eternal from cards that it made eternal?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if G.jokers then
        local other_joker = nil
        local protected_joker = nil
        for i = 2, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i-1].config.center.key == 'j_willatro_bodyguard' then
                protected_joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
                if protected_joker then
                    protected_joker:set_eternal(true)
                end
            end
            if G.jokers.cards[i-1].config.center.key ~= 'j_willatro_bodyguard' then
                if G.jokers.cards[i]:set_eternal() == true then
                    other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
                    if other_joker then
                        other_joker:set_eternal(nil)
                    end
                end
                if G.jokers.cards[1]:set_eternal() == true then
                    other_joker = G.jokers.cards[1]
                    if other_joker then
                        other_joker:set_eternal(nil)

            end
        end
    end
end

[normal crest]

the error means what you're passing to set_ability is not a valid option

[upbeat bronze]

dont you have to do some jank work around stuff regarding tracking destroyed jokers specifically?

if i recall correctly

[red flower]

yeah somewhat

[upbeat bronze]

hmm

[subtle merlin]

oh, that's odd bc those same enhancements have been called earlier in the code
(also idk why the pictures are out of order, for that im sorry)

[red flower]

well that's not what i said

[normal crest]

pseudorandom_element already returns the value, not the index

[upbeat bronze]

yeah not even sure where to start on that beyond tracking every single individual effect that can destroy a joker and that seems like a mod compat nightmare

[subtle merlin]

so get rid of enhancements[ and ]?

tried that, still has the same error

[red flower]

pseudorandom_element returns 2 values so it's better saving it to a local beforehand

can you screenshot that part of the code again

[subtle merlin]

I havent tested it after adding the local yet

[wintry solar]

N are you still using lovely 0.7.1?

[subtle merlin]

Same error

[frigid flare]

Yeah idk if i have the patience to learn a whole language for a funny bit, kudos to anyone that has the mental capacity to do any of this

[red flower]

i updated lovely why

[wintry solar]

I need to see if a patch was missing before and I cba downgrading 🤣

I'll just check my logs from the other day

[red flower]

can u paste the error here

[wintry solar]

in fact, when you launch do any of the smods patches miss right now?

[red flower]

it doesnt seem like it

[red flower]

can you send it with aiko's mod disabled?

[subtle merlin]

It'll take a second but yea

[wintry solar]

oh this PR steals a space from a patch target 💀

[red flower]

oh if it's mine it might be the autoformatter lol

sometimes i forget to save without it

[wintry solar]

I did wonder why yours sometimes had random whitespace changes 🤣

[red flower]

I'll be more careful lol

[maiden phoenix]

Tbh more people should use it 😅

[red flower]

I'll see if I can disable it for toml

[tight notch]

doesn't work

[subtle merlin]

only the mod causing it, debug, and jokerhub

[red flower]

F

[red flower]

no yeah i have no idea

[tardy juniper]

how would one go about creating a specific card in your hand?

[normal crest]

yeah this doesn't work for me either for some reason

tho I haven't tried in lovely 0.8

[red flower]

i took that image from metherul like a week ago so its not a 0.8 thing

[tight notch]

didn't know it updated that's cool

although when using that launch option the window is renamed to "LOVE Console" instead of "lovely"

[normal crest]

try printing out the enhancements in debugplus

[wintry solar]

man, N is cooking with all these PRs lately

[red flower]

[formal parrot]

Prs ?

Personal records?

[red flower]

pull requests

[subtle merlin]

i miiiiggggghhhhhttttt have possibly maybe forgot to save and thats why it didnt work

[wintry solar]

something I've noticed now I'm actually testing them though, is it possible for the SMODS.add_card supporting playing cards to spawn a specific enhancement?

[red flower]

yes, using "Base" + enhancement
although that might a little jank

unless thats not working for some reason

[wintry solar]

oh yeah that's cool

I must have got the key wrong

works with "Playing Card" too

[red flower]

yeah but might cause problems with setting an enhancement twice maybe

[subtle merlin]

It's now applying the enhancements bc i remembered to save this time!
crashes again
The fuck-

Should i add localization?

[red flower]

it's not necessary but it's a pain to do later if you need it

[normal crest]

yes

odd random sudden question

if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 then

so if I wanted that to be for wild cards instead of Jacks
I've drawn blanks as to how to go about this so I'm begging for help

[pure salmon]

if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild') then

[red flower]

i was too slow..
