I think I've seen a mod that rerolls booster packs.

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d519ea2c28a92ab0abc08a8a83fc7cd8d998d411/src/vouchers.lua#L56

[echo aurora]

Really? Can I see?

[modern kindle]

I have one that adds a reroll button to the actual booster pack
But not that rerolls the packs in the shop

[vale glen]

And here you can see how your example is more helpful, than just saying you've seen it done before

Although it does feel like Some is doing that on purpose, so eh

[modern kindle]

I think something is one of the more helpful people in here alongside N

That reminds me though, did you ever get assistance on your question something

Ui wise

[daring fern]

No.

[modern kindle]

N bestie you were or are here help out something

[red flower]

something has really difficult problems 😭

[long sun]

someone's having issues with Waxed, and they sent this crash report

[red flower]

most UI stuff to me is like "i know how i would start but idk how to do it"

[long sun]

code

it works fine on my end, what went wrong?

[daring fern]

I know nothing about shaders but that seems like a shader problem, not the edition.

[long sun]

ah i see

i'll shoot that over, in case anything is immediately obvious

(also, i just renamed it, so that's not the problem)

[floral narwhal]

yes i wanna add new tab and idk can use smods or i have to code with lovely

[daring fern]

Where do you want the tab?

[floral narwhal]

every 6 blinds, one time

after shop

[red flower]

like a post-shop shop?

[marble flint]

are you using the waxed variable anywhere in your shader code?

if not, it gets automatically removed

[long sun]

it contains:

vec4 effect( vec4 colour, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
    vec4 tex = Texel( texture, texture_coords);
    vec2 uv = (((texture_coords)*(image_details)) - texture_details.xy*texture_details.ba)/texture_details.ba;

    tex.rgb = tex.rgb * 0.25 + vec3(0.75, 0.6, 0.4 + waxed.x - waxed.x); // Making sure the waxed variable isn't optimised out. I love this game. :)
    tex.a *= 0.35;

    return dissolve_mask(tex * colour, texture_coords, uv);
}```

[floral narwhal]

yes black market that sells only rare and uncommon (or other mods rarity) with triple price

[marble flint]

yeah that + - does in fact get optimized out

[long sun]

ah -u-

[red flower]

oh ok that's something i need to figure out how to do myself too haha
good luck

[modern kindle]

Damn triple price
Costly ass market for an uncommon

[floral narwhal]

thanks i need it

[long sun]

how would i fix this? would i change it to + waxed.x*0.00001?

[floral narwhal]

this is black market😁

[vale glen]

Oh, making an entirely new shop? That sounds cool

No idea how that code even works

Can load jokers into an existing shop fine, buhlike

[marble flint]

that should be fine

[long sun]

awesome sauce, thanks :D

[vast night]

Hi again! I just wanted to know how i can replace a joker by another one (with a speccific edtition)
(If possible make it the joker to the right of the calculatin joker

[lament agate]

there's only like 1 person in here that knows how shaders work, we're doomed

[daring fern]

You would probably start by patching the end shop button.

[daring fern]

card:set_ability("j_modprefix_key") and card:set_edition("e_modprefix_key")

[vast night]

i run these functions on the joker to replace riight?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[floral narwhal]

i will ask chatgpt maybe works

[daring fern]

No.

[floral narwhal]

so what can i do?

[vale glen]

That's not going to work, and would likely just feed data to the model... x.x

[regal ether]

look at balala source and see how it makes its shop

[vale glen]

Reading how the vanilla code does it might help

[regal ether]

yea

[vale glen]

...please don't feed the vanilla code into an LLM

[vast night]

another small question. im looking at dagger from vanillaremade. what does "getting_sliced" stand for?

[floral narwhal]

ok ill try them. Thanks!

[daring fern]

It stops the joker from calculating.

[vast night]

so that means?

[daring fern]

It wont calculate anymore.

[vast night]

i mean getting'_sliced

[regal ether]

if u kill a joker before it calculates it wont calculate

[vast night]

OOOOOOOH

[vale glen]

Huh... Am curious about how slicing differs from being debuffed, like if that affects brainstorm calcs or anything

[vast night]

i dont get it but ill copy it anyways lol

[red flower]

you have to mark jokers destroyed with getting_sliced so other jokers don't do stuff on them and also stops them from calculating like they said

[vast night]

get it now

thanks!

(just needed to llook a lil further lmfao)

[red flower]

it's basically the same but sliced is supposed to be temporary

[vale glen]

Ah, so it's a matter of intent rather than function, thanks!

[vast night]

so i think i am doing something wrong again. i've modified the code of ceremonical dagger from vanillaremade, but for some reason when selecting a blind, the "to infect" joker, now repeatedly creates a new event and starts the juice animation (i believe?)

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind and not context.blueprint then
            local my_pos = nil
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
                    my_pos = i
                    break
                end
            end
            if my_pos and G.jokers.cards[my_pos + 1] and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos + 1].ability.eternal and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos + 1].getting_sliced then
                local infect_card = G.jokers.cards[my_pos + 1]
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        infect_card:set_ability('j_reddit_contagious_laughter')
                        infect_card:set_edition('e_negative')
                    end
                }))
                return {
                    message = "Infected!"
                }
            end
        end
end,

the joker gets replaced but the event queue fills up

[red flower]

my message just doesnt want to send lmao

[vast night]

oop

[red flower]

youre missing the return true in the event

[vast night]

oooooh

bruh

lemme look

just return empty?

[red flower]

return true

[vale glen]

If you want to return a message in that event, could use an SMODS.calculate_effect function. Not sure if that's a recommended way to do it though.

Then after calling that function with your desired message on the desired card, you can write return true to exit the function.

[daring fern]

No, because SMODS.calculate_effect is already in an event.

[red flower]

depends on the timing you want

[vale glen]

Hm... If you didn't want that timing when queued in an event, what would be an alternative method of returning the message on the target card?

[hollow snow]

do you need to do anything to make your joker appear on shop? or does it have the chance based on the rarity?

[red flower]

no, yes

as long as it's not legendary of course

[hollow snow]

ok, thanks

[vale glen]

Wait yeah, Axy could just... look at how the calculate effect function returns messages, and just read. Duh.

[sturdy compass]

Hello dev chat

[vale glen]

[sturdy compass]

Bruh

<@&1133519078540185692> get this guy

[modern kindle]

<@&1133519078540185692> kill him

[karmic creek]

ok

[modern kindle]

Thanks bestie

[exotic hedge]

a/wsfbwaaf

[sturdy compass]

Danke

[karmic creek]

almost had him

[vale glen]

xD

[karmic creek]

fast and furious you never even had your car dot gif @exotic hedge

[exotic hedge]

its a competition between all of us lol

[modern kindle]

Whoever gets the next snipe in here gets the mcdonalds happy meal

May the best mod win

[sturdy compass]

Who has the biggest kill count is the question of the day

[exotic hedge]

dot gif what

am i confused

[modern kindle]

This would be an interesting statistic

[karmic creek]

we can't send gifs but i'm referencing a specific gif

[modern kindle]

Quick Mr mod turn on gifs

[sturdy compass]

Even mods bend to the gif ban 😭

[karmic creek]

some things are beyond even my power

[modern kindle]

Would you do it for a scooby snack

[wintry solar]

You should be able to add instant = true iirc to the table

[hollow snow]

what would be the structure of create_card? idk how lua arguments work

[daring fern]

More often than not, you should use SMODS.add_card instead.

[hollow snow]

ok, ty

[peak obsidian]

honestly a joker that makes another's operators act as one higher sounds pretty dope

[sturdy crescent]

i have this joker that debuffs a random joker when blind is selected, it debuffs the card completely fine and whatever, but i dont see any message when it happens

[red flower]

looks correct to me

do you have talisman?

[sturdy crescent]

i do but it isn't enabled

[red flower]

hmm no idea then

[high sinew]

Out of curiosity if yo unwanted to add a tool tip to jokers how could you with tool tip ui?

[daring fern]

You mean an info_queue?

[serene granite]

excuse me, is there a way to make it so my new consumables and jokers do not appear in the shop?

should i be using "weight"?
i want them to only appear in my booster packs not in the shop at all, any advice?

[red flower]

return false in in_pool

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end

[serene granite]

ooo ok so if i add this it wont put itself into the pool of shoppable objects?

[daring fern]

I think so.

[high sinew]

Maybe? I haven’t used that just meant if the way I’m describing should be used with tool tip function is this better?

[pure salmon]

also, jokers with a custom rarity or consumables part of a non-vanilla set will not appear by default

[serene granite]

oo ok thats good to know

[karmic sand]

idk if this is a dumb question or not but how would I go about adding mult value to a joker if I sell another specific joker(s)

im very new to development

[daring fern]

if context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_key" then
    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + number -- you need to replace card.ability.extra.mult with your own variable
end
```?

[sturdy compass]

You'd wanna check for context.selling_card and if context.card == your card value

[viral ember]

Is there a way to hide suits by default? I'm added a custom suit but I only want it to appear from my spectral card

[pulsar furnace]

what does next() do?

[red flower]

gives you the next key, value pair in a table
it's basically used as a shorthand to see if a table has something inside

[pulsar furnace]

oh ok

[quick scarab]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/issues/13

[frigid cargo]

what does soul_set do?

[red flower]

soul_set for The Soul would be Tarot and Planet for Black Hole

for example

[frigid cargo]

ah ok

which code would i add to make the consumeable be the regular rarity?

[red flower]

consumables dont have rarities

[frigid cargo]

dang, cause if i removed soul_set then the consumable doesnt popup in the spectral deck

[coarse plank]

How do I get the chips of cards played/discard? Trying to make this joker.

[regal ether]

so it calculates the hand you last discarded and its joker effect is that?

thats fire

[coarse plank]

yes, how would I find those variables?

[daring fern]

Do you want to include editions and enhancements chips?

[coarse plank]

Yes

[daring fern]

card:get_chip_bonus()

[coarse plank]

guessing its the same for mult?

[daring fern]

Do you want lucky cards to have a chance to give mult?

[coarse plank]

Could you provide both lucky cards having chance and excluding them from the calculations?

[daring fern]

What do you mean?

[coarse plank]

Sorry, could you show lucky cards providing the chance to have mult, got myself confused.

[daring fern]

It means that the joker would have a chance to get the mult from a lucky card.

[coarse plank]

👍

[daring fern]

Then you would use card:get_chip_mult()

[serene granite]

soo i created an object type for my consumable cards, and now i am trying to make my booster pack use that object type to pull from it but it doesnt seem to be working, is there a way to fix that

[daring fern]

Code?

[viral ember]

How does this work exactly? lol

[frigid cargo]

whats the code to make spectral cards popup in spectral packs like normal?

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end

[daring fern]

?

[frigid cargo]

oh ok thanks

[serene granite]

how do i send the code more compact so its not spam

[daring fern]

```lua
-- Code here

[serene granite]

local go_fish_rods_obj_type = SMODS.ObjectType {
    object_type = "FishingRodConsumableType", -- must match category
    key = "GO_FISH_RODS",
    default = "FishingRod8",
    cards = {
        ["FishingRod2"] = true,
        ["FishingRod3"] = true,
        ["FishingRod4"] = true,
        ["FishingRod5"] = true,
        ["FishingRod6"] = true,
        ["FishingRod7"] = true,
        ["FishingRod8"] = true,
        ["FishingRod9"] = true,
        ["FishingRod10"] = true,
        ["FishingRod11"] = true,
        ["FishingRod12"] = true,
        ["FishingRod13"] = true,
        ["FishingRod14"] = true
    }
}

SMODS.Booster{
    name = "Go Fish Pack",
    key = "go_fish_pack",
    atlas = "Jokers",
    pos = {x = 1, y = 1},
    weight = 2,
    cost = 5,
    group_key = "go_fish_pack_group",
    config = {extra = 3, choose = 1, name = "Go Fish Pack"},
    discovered = false,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                choose = card.ability.choose,
                extra = card.ability.extra
            }
        }
    end,
    ease_background_colour = function(self)
        return G.C.BLUE
    end,
    create_card = function(self, card)
        return create_card('GO_FISH_RODS', G.pack_cards, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'go_fish')
    end,
    
    kind = 'GoFishBoostPack'
}

did it work

[serene granite]

here it is !

[daring fern]

The cards need to be classprefix_modprefix_key

[knotty compass]

hey question! so im trying to make a joker that makes all clubs be treated as wild cards, and i wonder if thats possible? like not just as any suit, but also to interact with jokers that look for wild cards

[serene granite]

oo ok thanks, ill look into this

[daring fern]

You have to use quantum enhancements.

[knotty compass]

the what

[daring fern]

It allows cards to be treated as enhancements that they aren't.

[knotty compass]

oh nice! and how to do that? :>

[daring fern]

Firstly, you have to enable it.

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        quantum_enhancements = true
    }
end

[knotty compass]

do i put it in main lua file?

[coarse plank]

Me too stupid to understand the faults of me code.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[knotty compass]

gotcha

[daring fern]

You have a , after card.get_chip_mult() also you should install the lua extension.

Also you should be doing context.other_card:get_chip_bonus()

[wise turtle]

what do I do to get the number of the current Ante

[daring fern]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[wise turtle]

awesome thanks

[knotty compass]

a-and what then? honestly documentation is telling me nothingg

[daring fern]

In the calculate function of your joker you would do ```lua
if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") then
return {m_wild = true}
end

[knotty compass]

oh! thanks a lot!

[coarse plank]

So sorry but it doesnt work. Am I missing something in the context, or config?

[hasty mist]

is there a way to force additional cards to be drawn to your hand

ignoring hand size

[daring fern]

You would also do the same thing for card:get_chip_mult with card:get_chip_bonus

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wintry solar]

when do you want to draw them?

[hasty mist]

after a hand is played

so like the hook but with drawing instead of discarding

[daring fern]

You would just use draw_card I think.

[wintry solar]

you can use context.drawing_cards and return cards_to_draw = total_number

[frigid cargo]

    pos = {x=0, y= 0},
    order = 99,
    atlas = "atlas_batrocities_consumeables_corrupt",
    unlocked = true,
    cost = 4,
    hidden = true,

        config = {
        max_highlighted = 1,
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = 'batrocity_negative_card', set = 'Other', vars = {}}
        return {vars = {(card.ability or self.config).max_highlighted}}
    end,
    
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                local negative_chance = (pseudorandom("atlas_batrocities_consumeables_corrupt",1, 2))
                local corrupt_card = G.hand.highlighted[1]
                if (negative_chance == 1) then 
                    corrupt_card:set_edition("e_negative")
                    card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,
}
)

does anyone have any idea as to why it wont pop up it spectral packs?

[daring fern]

Try removing hidden

How does one add a new hand sorting option?

[frigid cargo]

ah

thanks

[sage crater]

is it possible to code this without too much hassle?
(and how would I go about doing it)

[knotty compass]

uhh sorry to bother you more but tried it and game crashes without message the moment i select a blind with it

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Yes.

Does it replicate multiple jokers?

[sonic cedar]

i mean if you want to experiment with him, he's in the playtesting branch on the github

[sage crater]

how would I go about being able to proc another card?

[knotty compass]

here ^^

[sage crater]

Yeah. Ideally, it would keep them all in a list or something similar

[daring fern]

Then probably yes.

[daring fern]

You would have to create a fake card.

[sage crater]

how would you access the information of another card like that?

[sage crater]

ah ok

[hasty mist]

how do you check hand size

[daring fern]

G.hand.config.card_limit?

[daring fern]

It seems that is_suit checks for SMODS.has_any_suit which calls context.check_enhancement which causes an infinite loop, so replace that with context.other_card.base.suit == "Clubs"

[knotty compass]

alright! gonna try it!

[sage crater]

how do I go about creating a fake card with the information of another card?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/allinone/allinone.lua#L6

[knotty compass]

it works but i think theres still some massive loops somewhere cause when i played a hand it took like 30 seconds for stuff to happen

[daring fern]

Did you play a hand with many jokers that check for enhancements?

[sage crater]

fancy

[knotty compass]

just two! even laggs when selecting cards!

[hasty mist]

what did i do wrong here?

[red flower]

you need to be in the latest commit of smods

if you arent

not commit, release sorry

[hasty mist]

is latest commit fine too

i almost never get mods from releases

[red flower]

yes

[wintry solar]

use context.amount instead of G.hand.config.card_limit

[hasty mist]

huh

[hasty mist]

ok it just straight up crashes now

[daring fern]

Line?

[wintry solar]

you've named your calculate function blind instead of card

[red flower]

this server would be really annoying with a star board lol

[hasty mist]

lmao

[sonic cedar]

make it a pointboard

[hasty mist]

all of my shameful code fails would be on there 😭

[subtle merlin]

How do i draw a card that was just discarded? Ive been trying with Card:draw() but it doesnt seem to be working

[modern kindle]

Although it'd be pretty funny to star all the same answers you give

I wonder what the most common answer is in all of this server

[sonic cedar]

5 separate instances of "start a new run"

actually

[knotty compass]

checked it lags even without any other jokers

[sonic cedar]

good lord

[daring fern]

card:draw() is for drawing sprites not cards.

[modern kindle]

Notice how nothing says start an old run 😔

[subtle merlin]

That makes more sense with what the documentation says

How would i, then?

[modern kindle]

Fuck he got me

[sonic cedar]

i was still getting it lmao

[daring fern]

draw_card

[gusty hemlock]

Is anyone here able to help me with this? I've been searching for answers for a while and I cant find anything. Not using steammodded.

[sage crater]

don't worry, everyone's would be

[hasty mist]

i love coding without really knowing how lua works

i made 30 jokers!

[keen totem]

whats the thing for making a UI toggle thing

like the n = G.UIT. part

is it G.UIT.O?

[gusty hemlock]

Or if anybody knows anything about replacing the music..

[gusty iron]

how do i make a shader?

[sage crater]

fr

I really wish balatro was coded in gdscript, python, java, or even c# 😔

[hasty mist]

im honestly glad its lua

[sage crater]

what's a lua extension

[keen totem]

something

[hasty mist]

the current joker im working on is already 700 lines of code long

[wintry solar]

lua is a pretty straight forward language

[keen totem]

can you please stop putting thinking on people being confused

people can be confused

[gusty hemlock]

LOL

[primal robin]

[hasty mist]

🤔board when

[hybrid shadow]

or the question mark reaction

[sage crater]

it's definitely nice for newcomers to learn to mod, but I'd rather the beginner language just be python because it just feels better to learn first

Lua is so unique compared to any other language I've seen/learned and I feel like it'll long-term lead to bad habits for any people who are interested in coding when their first language was lua

[primal robin]

Board? Wdym?

[hasty mist]

i honestly should use lua extension im just stubborn

[sage crater]

for instance, lua is indexed at 1 in some cases and 0 in others... no other language is like that

[hasty mist]

for some reason its aesthetically unpleasing to me

[hybrid shadow]

like starboard where posts that get star reactions get posted in a starboard channel by a bot

[hasty mist]

i honestly dont like python

[gusty hemlock]

am i the only one who just decompiled the game and is modding it that way? Are all you guys using steammodded and other tools?

[modern kindle]

See thats the interesting thing, I started with gmod lua
And other languages haven't felt very hard for me to learn

[wintry solar]

I'm pretty sure lua is always indexed at 1

[sage crater]

never done it myself; here's the docs

[hasty mist]

currently i'm learning two languages, lua and rust (though im not very far in rust)

[sage crater]

me neither, but it's closer to a conventional programming language

[wintry solar]

which when you actually think logically about finding an item in a list, it's a lot more intuitive for someone who isn't already aware of coding standards

[wise turtle]

how do you add seals to jokers in a preset back

[sage crater]

oh damn. Nice 😎 👍

[sage crater]

pos indexes at 0

[red flower]

that's a balatro thing

[sage crater]

unless that's a love2d/balatro only thing

[wintry solar]

that's not a lua thing

[sage crater]

ah, ok

[wintry solar]

that's a thunk thing

[sage crater]

based thunk

indexing at 0 is the way

[modern kindle]

[hasty mist]

which is funny because lua and rust almost couldnt be further apart

its like comparing english to cantonese

[sage crater]

holy jesus. How is rust?? 😭
I need to learn it soonish (I think next year in college)

wait no, that's assembly

[hasty mist]

rust is very low level

not as low level as asm though

[keen totem]

i genuinely hate the docs for UI in SMODS

its like the most complicated thing with a bunch of args

[sage crater]

the wiki does need some attention ngl

[keen totem]

and theyre like "actually you should figure it out yourself"

fuck off

teach me how to make a toggle

at least say the damn args for it

[hasty mist]

we STILL dont have docs for blueprint_effect 😭

[wintry solar]

we do

they're just not public

🙃

[hybrid shadow]

is there a reason for that

[sage crater]

they hate us

[wintry solar]

documenting contexts is a boring job that I keep putting off

[hasty mist]

fair

[wintry solar]

here's blueprint effect though

[hasty mist]

blueprint_effect is extremely helpful (wish i knew how to use it without a pesky return statement though)

i was able to make the code for old blueprint in cryptid 4 times shorter using blueprint_effect instead of the janky bullshit it was using before

[sage crater]

that's actually really cool

refactoring code is fun

[keen totem]

SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = function()
    return {
        n = G.UIT.ROOT,
        config = { align = "cm" },
        nodes = {
            {n = G.UIT.C,
            config = { align = "cm" },
            nodes = {
                {n = G.UIT.T,
                config = { align = "cm", text = "Jokes", colour = G.C.MONEY, scale = 1 },
                nodes = {
                    create_toggle({id = "score_toggle",
                        label = "Joke Jokers",
                        ref_table = "?",
                        ref_value = "?",
                        callback = "?"
                    })
                }}
            }}
        }
    }
end

am i doing this right at all?

[hasty mist]

yeah

and god knows cryptid needs it

[wintry solar]

but yeah, finding motivation to write docs is hard because when I have time I'd rather do some actual coding, and also then when you do write docs it seems that people either a) don't read them and ask questions that are answered in them, or b) complain that they aren't "good enough"

[hasty mist]

fair

[keen totem]

something

you do NOT

need to react

or say anything

[wintry solar]

I think a lot of people think that docs should be a tutorial/guide

[keen totem]

if you dont know

[wise turtle]

can you add seals to cards when adding them to a back

[hybrid shadow]

i similarly shortened sync catalyst down to like 3 lines inside the calculate context by updating it to balance = true instead of its jank

[hasty mist]

w

balance = true sounds useful

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hybrid shadow]

yeah i got it to work with a sticker which was really fun to do

[red flower]

100%
a lot of "the docs are bad" comments are usually people just being new to programming and not understanding what the words mean

[wise turtle]

awesome... how if I may ask

[pulsar furnace]

How do I create an unlockable back? I've tried, but it doesn't work.

[keen totem]

i just dont like that the docs are like the only place you can find info on how do to stuff minus just looking at other mods code

[wintry solar]

that's not a reason to complain about them though

[keen totem]

yea

[daring fern]

I assume you are talking about putting seals on cards for a deck?

[keen totem]

its more of a '"we should have something else" thing rather than the docs being bad

[sage crater]

lol

[wise turtle]

on jokers

[red flower]

i cant really read that on mobile but check this for an example

https://github.com/nh6574/JokerDisplay/blob/main/src/config_tab.lua

[wintry solar]

like it's perfectly valid to want a guide to how to do stuff, but that's not what documentation is for, someone just needs to have the motivation to write a guied

[sage crater]

that's so fair

[hybrid shadow]

and then you get moments where you wanna do something and have to look through every content mod that exists only to find out that none do what you actually want

[wintry solar]

I have a vague outline for a creating jokers guide that I want to write, but I have a lot of other stuff that I like to do with my spare time

[wise turtle]

im dumb as bricks, I meant stickers

[daring fern]

SMODS.Stickers["modprefix_key"]:apply(card, true)

[keen totem]

the issue is that i also dont know what ref_table, ref_value, and callback even are

[red flower]

i dont think you can have children in a T node but idk

[hybrid shadow]

i think the main difference between my final playable beta and the actual release for my mod is that the actual release is gonna have comments everywhere saying what everything does

[keen totem]

oh right the toggle IS what i was using for that

yea the toggle should replace the T node

[red flower]

ref_table/ref_value: uses ref_table["ref_value"] as the value for the toggle

callback: function that runs when changed

[keen totem]

ok

so would ref_table be the thing in the config.lua file?

[daring fern]

‎

[keen totem]

new UI in that box id assume

[red flower]

pinning this because i also need to figure this out

[keen totem]

and then look at how the base game does it

[knotty compass]

also modded jokers seem to not treat those as a "wild card" anyway, so effects like "wildcards give 1.5x mult" dont trigger

[red flower]

ref_table should point to the config

[daring fern]

What modded jokers are you testing with?

[keen totem]

return {
    ["jokes"] = false
}

so if this is my config file, whats the reftable and refvalue?

[daring fern]

Some don't use SMODS.has_enhancement

[red flower]

for ref_table you need to save it somewhere like this when the mod loads
https://github.com/nh6574/JokerDisplay/blob/1cdf2b5c93ba5965c03f1952d077c262e6503f97/JokerDisplay.lua#L10

ref_value would be "jokes"

[keen totem]

ah i see

[keen totem]

is JokerDisplay your mods key?

[wintry solar]

honestly my best advice for wanting to do UI is to look at a mod that has well written UI

[keen totem]

or ID i mean

[hasty mist]

i dread writing ui code

[knotty compass]

uhh a lot, checked with wild card charlie from neato, bismuth from tesseract, bicycle from paper back, none treat it as a wild card

[keen totem]

for toggles, do you really need a callback?

cause the place that needs the toggle can just check it there right?

[plush depot]

time to work on my mod again after a 2 day break

[wintry solar]

iirc you need a callback to actually update the value, it doesn't do it by default

I haven't written actual ui in a while though

[keen totem]

im seeing toggles without callbacks so

im assuming thats not true

[wintry solar]

there's definitely one ui element that needs the callback, it might be option slider

[sonic cedar]

wow that's really useful! let me go and save its place in the wiki so i dont forget!

[pulsar furnace]

How do I add text?

[red flower]

yes but no
that's a global table i made, the mod key doesn't matter

[keen totem]

so it IS your mods key

but it doesnt need to be

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

? like you would any other locked text?

[plush depot]

use this but replace the text with whatever you want it to say

[sonic cedar]

unlock = {}

[sonic cedar]

the deck's locked, that's for when it isnt

[plush depot]

oh

[hybrid shadow]

alr, i have a conundrum
i have two stickers that don't do well if set on cards mid-blind
would it be better to make a separate pseudorandom element for the sticker randomization that only runs if the consumeable is used mid-blind, or just try and exclude the stickers from being applied if the consumeable is used mid-blind

[plush depot]

sticker or seal

[hybrid shadow]

sticker

[plush depot]

ah

then idk

[gusty iron]

can someone help me with this?

[hybrid shadow]

alternatively i could possibly figure out a way to make it so the consumeable only works outside of blinds but that isnt much fun tbh

[daring fern]

What do the stickers do that wouldn't work during a blind?

[hybrid shadow]

show code for both where you create the shader and where you use the shader

[keen totem]

do toggles just return a boolean

[gusty iron]

heres my shader definition

SMODS.Shader({ key = 'chromatic', path = 'chromatic.fs' })

[hybrid shadow]

add hand size/play-discard card limit

[gusty iron]

and heres my edition definition

SMODS.Edition {
    key = "chromatic",
    shader = "chromatic", 
    config = {
        chips = 20,
        mult = 15,
        x_mult = 3
    },
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Chromatic",
    label = "Chromatic",
        text = {"For every trigger,", "{X:mult,C:white}X1.25{} Mult"}
    },
    in_shop = true,
    weight = 5,
    extra_cost = 3,
    apply_to_float = true,
    disable_shadow = false,
    disable_base_shader = false,
    get_weight = function(self)
        return G.GAME.edition_rate * self.weight
    end,
    in_pool = function(self, args)

        return true
    end,
}

[plush depot]

rate the textures 🔥 🐴 (enhancements)

[daring fern]

Why wouldn't that work during a blind?

[modern kindle]

Well I think one of them is red/color
Another seems pretty blue/color

So good job

[plush depot]

yay

my mod is called colorful cards so they need to be color if you want them to look like color for color color

[hybrid shadow]

because the only way it really works is to add/subtract the size/card limit when its added/taken away from the hand

if its added mid blind it doesnt count as being drawn but it can still count as being played/discarded which makes it do the subtracting part

[gusty iron]

you should 100% add a pantone 448 c enhancement for funny

[modern kindle]

The logic is sound, but i think you're missing black which is my goat

[plush depot]

upon update

im starting with 6 for now

until im satisfied with how they work

[modern kindle]

This is fair

[gusty iron]

any help with this?

[hybrid shadow]

is your shader in the assets files

[modern kindle]

Godspeed my coloring friend

I almost chose the wrong word by total accident

[gusty iron]

its in assets/shaders, yeah

[daring fern]

Couldn't you use the apply function for that?

[plush depot]

were u bouta say colored friend

[modern kindle]

Yes

[plush depot]

lol

[hybrid shadow]

if that works without breaking the other stuff maybe

[gusty iron]

this is where they go, right?

[gusty iron]

OH FIRE I FIXED IT

[hybrid shadow]

does it add xmult when something doesnt happen

[keen totem]

why does this have a weird blue background?

[gusty iron]

how would i check if a card triggers?

[keen totem]

is this not just X1.25 Mult?

[sonic cedar]

close
it's when something (probability) does
-# if you can get that to happen

[gusty iron]

it triggers on card trigger, unlike normal editions

which just trigger after

[daring fern]

(context.post_trigger and context.other_card == card) or (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play)?

[keen totem]

ah

so it can be retriggered?

[gusty iron]

yeah

[plush depot]

what does it mean for every trigger

get that on hanging chad and thats like x2.5 mult

[hybrid shadow]

does it reduce the chances of anything happening

[gusty iron]

if you have a joker that retriggers a joker with th edition

the edition gets triggered again

[keen totem]

just put (retriggerable)

[plush depot]

gotcha

[keen totem]

if several people have to ask what it means

its clearly not clear

[daring fern]

Why not just say X1.25 Mult when triggered?

[keen totem]

saying its retriggerable makes more sense

a lot of people probably dont even know that editions arent already retriggerable

[daring fern]

Sadly no, because retriggers aren't counted as post triggers.

[sonic cedar]

a smidge 🤏

[hybrid shadow]

whats the context for when inside of a blind

[keen totem]

what

[sonic cedar]

like when you just get in?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[keen totem]

that wouldnt be a context

since its a constant thing

[sonic cedar]

it would not

[plush depot]

which looks the best? one card from every suit

[hybrid shadow]

that probably works

[sonic cedar]

remember it's not a context

[hybrid shadow]

im stupid and forgot the word for parameter

[keen totem]

they all clash with the regular card texture so probably anything but red

red makes hearts nearly invisible

[gusty iron]

it works!!! :D

[keen totem]

orange on diamonds would look cool

[plush depot]

i mean i could like make it lighter

[sonic cedar]

literally all except red

[plush depot]

i think i will make red lighter then lol

why did i make it so like bright

[keen totem]

why does it still have this ugly disgusting despicable blue background

SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = function()
    return {
        n = G.UIT.ROOT,
        config = { align = "cm", no_fill = true },
        nodes = {
            {n = G.UIT.C,
            config = { align = "cm", no_fill = true },
            nodes = {
                create_toggle({id = "jokejokers",
                    label = "Joke Jokers (restart game after changing)",
                    ref_table = CGNik.config,
                    ref_value = "jokes"
                })
            }}
        }
    }
end

(how do i add config to a toggle)

[plush depot]

much better

right guys

[keen totem]

sure

[plush depot]

i mean better than this

[hybrid shadow]

uh okay the apply function fucked something up and now the stickers wont actually appear on the cards

[plush depot]

uh oh

let me check my code for my sticker

[daring fern]

Why does this both not delete the playing cards, but also not put the jokers in the deck view?

[hybrid shadow]

like the function still does stuff but the sticker and its associated badge and description arent showing up

[plush depot]

this dosent have the actual thing that makes it work but it has the basics

dont mind the config

but it works fine to make it appear

[hybrid shadow]

i dont get it, they applied fine before

[hybrid shadow]

yeah thats not my issue here

[plush depot]

huh

[hybrid shadow]

they used to show up and now they dont actually get applied

[wintry solar]

put colour = G.C.CLEAR in your root node config

[subtle merlin]

I'm almost done with this joker, but i have two issues: one is that it can be discarded and regained multiple times, the other is something i don't even understand (both are shown in the video) and I can't figure out how to fix either of them

[daring fern]

‎

[long sun]

hiya! just double-checking, is Card:has_edition a thing? is it SMODS.has_edition(card)? just has_edition(card)?

[daring fern]

No.

It's card.edition and card.edition.key == "e_modprefix_key"

[long sun]

cheers ^^

[daring fern]

The only reason SMODS.has_enhancement exists is because of quantum enhancements.

[long sun]

gotcha

is that value nil, or is it e_base, if it doesn't have one?

[daring fern]

card.edition would be nil

[long sun]

tytyty

[sage crater]

why use decimals when you can just say 1 in 40?

[sonic cedar]

it's not just wof

[sage crater]

ah, got it

[plush depot]

Rouge joker - gains +3 mult for every red enhanced card scored (havent coded it just textured)

[hybrid shadow]

for some reason adding this to my sticker code no longer applies the sticker just the effect

[daring fern]

Add card.ability["modprefix_key"] = true

[gusty iron]

how would i retrigger multiple jokers?

[plush depot]

get better

[gusty iron]

would i use an extra = {} table?

[daring fern]

You would return repetitions = number in context.retrigger_joker_check while having it enabled.

[daring fern]

No.

[long sun]

what would i put in localize(), if i want something from misc.labels?

[gusty iron]

what does this mean?? im having difficulty understanding

[daring fern]

"key", "labels"

[long sun]

cheers ^^

[wise turtle]

can you play sfx when you lose based on if you own a certain joker

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wise turtle]

whats the context when you lose

[daring fern]

Are you trying to replace the game over sound under specific conditions?

[wise turtle]

yeah

[serene granite]

heyy i was wondering if there is a way to change what some of the built in buttons do? I am trying to make it so skipping on my custom booster pack makes it so the player loses 5 dollars but im not sure where to start to change that

[daring fern]

You would have to patch here:

[serene granite]

any advice ?

[daring fern]

Cryptid has a booster that does something when you skip it.

[serene granite]

oo ok ill look through that, do you remember which booster pac does it ?

[daring fern]

Baneful Buffoon Pack

[serene granite]

thanks!

[gusty iron]

WHY DOES THIS LOOK CURSED

[wintry solar]

is this shader finished?

[gusty iron]

yeah

[daring fern]

Why does it just say X1.25 Mult? Or did you change the effect?

[wintry solar]

it doesn't look very chromatic

[daring fern]

Yes, but did you change the effect?

[gusty iron]

my friend named it, but he described it looking like chrome

[gusty iron]

i was just playing around with debug and i just saw that you can put it on booster packs for some reason

[daring fern]

Because if you didn't it should say X1.25 Mult when triggered

[wintry solar]

chromatic means it's dominated by one colour, whilst this looks grey, which is an absence of colour

if it's supposed to be chrome, I'd name it chromium or something

[brisk tree]

does anyone know how to make a joker that makes a rank of card be considered as another rank?
I'm checking the pareidolia joker code and I'm a bit confused

[hybrid shadow]

i dont think pareidolia changes rank

[daring fern]

Multi-Rank or just it turns into the other rank?

[gusty iron]

ive always wanted to make a joker that works something like that

[brisk tree]

multi-rank, I checked pareidolia cause it makes all cards act as face cards

[daring fern]

Face cards have their own check, that is currently not possible officially.

[brisk tree]

That's a shame it seems, thanks for the help though

[gusty iron]

would it be possible to make something count as 2 suits

[daring fern]

Yes.

[gusty iron]

fire

[subtle merlin]

Fixed whatever the fuck the second issue was, but the redo flag still isn't working

[daring fern]

You need to put the flag on the discarded card.

[shell harness]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but how do I make a deck?

[chrome widget]

Real-time name update for a card :)

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Back

[subtle merlin]

That makes sense, but it isn't working

[daring fern]

Check for not discardedcard.ability.redo Instead.

[subtle merlin]

it still crashes

[karmic sand]

@daring fern Do you mind if I DM you rq? It's relating to the thing I mentioned earlier I'm just really shy about asking about things in public

[sonic cedar]

GD ALBUM

[umbral zodiac]

whats the variable for how much money hands/discards earn at end of round

nvm found it

[chrome widget]

I know absolutely nothing about Geometry Dash myself, but the JoJo fic this references used levels as names for a Stand

I was just tasked with making it cycle through all the names it uses

[vale plinth]

how do you add this to a joker?

[subtle merlin]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

[vale plinth]

thanks

[subtle merlin]

yw

[shell harness]

ok i have the json file but its not showing up in my mods list am i missing something

?

[wild escarp]

Is there a context I can check for increasing ante?

[modern kindle]

Youre so freaking cool

[sonic cedar]

ease_ante

Thats a function though

[wild escarp]

ah, I want to check when the ante is changing.

[sonic cedar]

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

It’s like 3

[chrome widget]

Gbdhshsh thanks dilly

[modern kindle]

I lub the work u do
My gf is at the airport now so soon I must resume development

[shell harness]

me when my mod doesnt show up

[gusty iron]

how would i change a card's sprite via code?

[daring fern]

You hook ease_ante?

[chrome widget]

When gf have to leave :(

[shell harness]

(im probably missing a single file idk)

[modern kindle]

We was sad but life must happen sadly

[sonic cedar]

ok so I had it right

[chrome widget]

Most direct way to do it is to set card.children.center.atlas = G.ASSET_ATLAS[key] and then call card.children.center:set_sprite_pos(pos)

What key and pos you use are dependent on the sprite

[subtle merlin]

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it's so close to being done but im back to this issue

[gusty iron]

im assuming pos would be something like {x=0, y=0}?

[chrome widget]

Yeah

I have all my modded atlases set up to have their defaults be 0,0, though if you're trying to get the art of a specific card, I'd grab it from card.config.center.pos

[modern kindle]

this was my quirky ah ah way of doing it for a card that changes sprites depending on what happens

[gusty iron]

lowkey wasnt hard okay fire

[chrome widget]

Oh it's like a health indicator

That's cool!!

[shell harness]

why is my mod not appearing in my mod list

[sonic cedar]

wait thats sick

[hollow snow]

did you set up the json properly?

[gusty iron]

Hello fellow mindwave enjoyer

[sonic cedar]

hello fellow mindwave enjoyer

[shell harness]

i think so?

[gusty iron]

the friend i made the joker for is addicted to mindwave

[nova cedar]

credit to @ fredleon for the art on this

been cooking up some stuff

[hard flume]

Hi chat!

Guess who's getting back into modding?

[sonic cedar]

[hollow snow]

if it's not giving an error i think it should show up

[shell harness]

okay well theres a good sign i guess

its loading the lua file

[sonic cedar]

send your main lua

[shell harness]

its literally just 1234

thats the entire file

[sonic cedar]

w

Why

[shell harness]

YOOOO

[sonic cedar]

hi

[shell harness]

:yippee:

[sonic cedar]

bro just had to reload

[shell harness]

idk what i did wrong ngl

ok its programming time

[plush depot]

hi

[hard flume]

My stickers aren't appearing and I don't know why

[shell harness]

so that answers that question...

[gusty iron]

decided to test more procedural sprites

[modern kindle]

how can i select whatever the current profile is without hardcoding it?

currently im trying to make it so theres a card that summons your most played joker (then other cards) and i can make it work fine with just setting it like G.PROFILES[1].joker_usage
but i want it to work for whichever is the profile currently selected and just doing G.PROFILES didnt prduce the results i wanted

[chrome widget]

How does it access profile in set_consumeable_usage()?

[plush depot]

it changes based on day?

this is sigma

[gusty iron]

yuh

[modern kindle]

i dont got a clue how it accesses anything else yet, i was just looking at joker usage right now
and i can get it for a selected profile (ie profile 1) just not seeming to figure out how to make it select the current profile

[chrome widget]

No just mean that's my first thought of an example of how it would choose the current profile

I'm not at my computer right now though

Hmmm wait a minute

Cardsauce codebase help me

It's G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile]

[modern kindle]

wait i did get it working actually

yers tghats what i did

lmao

thank u bestie

[chrome widget]

[subtle merlin]

What is the value for the discards that you have left? G.game.discards?

[silver sapphire]

Hi Guys im new to modding balatro but not new to modding games I was just wondering if anyone had tips to get started or a guide I dont wanna do to much probably just add a couple jokers

[subtle merlin]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[silver sapphire]

Thanks so much very appreiciated!

[subtle merlin]

This wiki should be pinned here atp lol

[subtle merlin]

ofc!

[modern kindle]

G.GAME.current_round.discards_left i believe

for hands its the same but hands_left iirc

[shell harness]

well it has a texture now... i guess?
not quite the correct texture but it's a start

[plush depot]

rate the jokers (they all obtain +3 mult for every card with their specified color enhancment is scored)

[subtle merlin]

Didn't work sadly

[plush depot]

those are the 1x textures lol i meant to send the 2x

[modern kindle]

context.setting_blind iirc

not settup_blind

[subtle merlin]

pretty patties in balatro??

[plush depot]

uh not exactly?

i mean yeah those are the only colors rn so they look like that

also since green joker already exists i made their names french so instead of green joker its vert joker and instead of red joker its rouge joker

[subtle merlin]

idk why i put that at first lol, ty

[shell harness]

the seven human six joker souls:

[plush depot]

lol

wait

seven human?

[shell harness]

undertale reference

[plush depot]

o

never played

[unborn bay]

i question how have you never played undertale ever

[upbeat bronze]

fr its literally on sale for $1 constantly

like its a dollar, play it

😭

[karmic sand]

if I want a sound to play when I sell a joker how would I do that (I have a joker that is buffed when specific jokers are sold)

[brisk tree]

How do I properly run functions for a played card in an event, cause this just gives me an error (Says the game is trying to index a nil value or something similar)

[shell harness]

good news:

[plush depot]

i dont have enough

its tough out here bro

[shell harness]

anyway

how do i apply a texture to something (i would like to be able to see the deck)

[chrome widget]

Tbf I've also never played Undertale

I was looking other directions in 2015 lmao

[modern kindle]

where were u looking

[chrome widget]

Uhhhh

I was probably playing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate more than was healthy

[shell harness]

me when i uh

??

[chrome widget]

Also I was reading RWBY fanfic every night for hours

[shell harness]

how do texture

[karmic sand]

have you created an atlas for your textures?

[shell harness]

no idea

[karmic sand]

that's probably a no then lol

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Atlas

this should explain it

[shell harness]

im looking at it

i might be a bit stupid ngl

[plush depot]

dont mind why the effect dosent match the name its placehilder

nvm got it

[manic rune]

don't use context in events

outside of the event do smt like local c = context.other_card, then change context.other_card in the event to c

[shell harness]

still cant figure it out

[manic rune]

theres a tutorial video telling you how to set up your atlas

[shell harness]

where

[manic rune]

#1349064230825103441

somewhere on the top

[outer basalt]

oh joy time to fix the white line above one of my jokers

[manic rune]

white line?

[manic rune]

oof

[tight notch]

how do I make sure that my joker works with blueprint?

[brisk tree]

I tried that already and didn't work, i'll give it another try then

[manic rune]

oh, but also

[outer basalt]

and now: to not fix the white line above the card because I am lazy

[manic rune]

its :set_ability("m_steel") btw

[manic rune]

set blueprint_compat to true (thats for it to show its compatible visually), and basically dont have and not context.blueprint in your contexts

[brisk tree]

Is there any place where I could check all variables or available functions that I could use for something like the "G" class?

[manic rune]

balatro source code

[brisk tree]

You know the file where it's stored?

[vast night]

Hey quick question: Is there a way i can make a custom playing card only appear in the main menu like the balatro multiplayer mod does it (but the seecond card being another texture and not being able to show up in the decks)

[brisk tree]

I was searching through the exe a while back

[manic rune]

"G" in is touched by a lot of files

so theres really no specific ones

[brisk tree]

I see I see

Also thanks a lot for helping me, I appreciate it

[manic rune]

mhm

[manic rune]

refer to how other mods do it

[outer basalt]

hwo would i make a card effect 1 probablility specifically

like. if I wanted it to make glass cards break 3/4 times instead of 1/4

[tight notch]

so just do nothing and it will work?

[manic rune]

mhm

most people ask how to do the opposite lol

[manic rune]

might need patching in which case

[outer basalt]

if only blueprint compat automatically made it and not context.blueprint

[manic rune]

oh, you can try using take_ownership i think

lemme take a look

[outer basalt]

i mean I could have it just change the [global] variable for the probablility when its added to deck a la Opps! All 6s but im not entirely sure if thats. A Good Idea?

it would likely function but idk if it would break anything else

I'd like to keep it functional with Oops! tho which this method wouldnt do

[manic rune]

hmm

oh u can try reducing card.ability.extra of glass cards by half

[outer basalt]

true

the actual card im trying to do this on is 1/16 tho

and it would go to 8/16

[manic rune]

is this your card

[outer basalt]

my enhancement ya

its basically glass for chips but a little weaker and breaks less often lol

[manic rune]

i see

[outer basalt]

BUT it breaks on triggers not at end of hand

[manic rune]

id probably hard code it so it accounts for something more than just G.GAME.probability.normal

thats the easiest way i can think of without messing other stuffs

[outer basalt]

hard code oops?

[manic rune]

oh, no, your enhancement

[outer basalt]

OH lol

I can maybe add in Oops! compat myself lol

since it would just be a simple instabreak with both cards

[manic rune]

mhm, good luck :p

[outer basalt]

ty

CardComplex was the perfect name for this mod why am i making the jokers so complex LMAO

[umbral zodiac]

vouchers use the same calculate contexts as jokers right

[sturdy compass]

yes

[chrome widget]

Yep

[umbral zodiac]

cool thanks

time to copy my own code then

[outer basalt]

wait so this means theoretically I could make a voucher that gives like 2X mult every hand after you buy it

[umbral zodiac]

lmao probably

[outer basalt]

im having. ideas over here

[umbral zodiac]

lol, even

it also means you could probably put jokers in your voucher slots and theyd be fine maybe

[sage crater]

am I able to do an if/else statement in the localization files?

And if not, how do I change the local text when I have a localization file?

[pure salmon]

ohhhhh i assumed this is how observatory worked

[outer basalt]

mine prolly wouldnt cause they. like move n stuff

would they just. hop out of the vouchers slot????

now im not just having ideas im having ✨ HYPOTHESISES ✨

[umbral zodiac]

not in there, unfortunately, since it's a table of strings and not a code block

technically you could make the text change via loc vars which are empty if non-applicable

idk about other ways to do it however

[vast night]

thanks for the hint. do you know how i can render a custom texture for the card tho? with atlas prob but ill need some help lol

[sage crater]

how do I change ```lua
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
local lp = card.ability.extra.lastPlayed
return {
vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult_gain, card.ability.extra.xmult, lp[#lp - 2], lp[#lp - 1], lp[#lp]}
}
end

can I do an if/else return thing?

[vast night]

what do you mean?

you wanna remove the lines if there are no data?

[manic rune]

id check SMODS.create_card, probably

wait is this a playing card or a joker

[umbral zodiac]

you can build the string itself and make it return the text instead of the values, so that if there's no data you can just make it an empty string

though for this situation i'd suggest you just make it say something like {C:inactive}No data{} until youve played 3 hands

[sage crater]

smthn like this

[sour stirrup]

idea: using a wild card with it's real suit in a flush of its kind gives this joker gives this joker some more amout of mult idk
idea: a joker/voucher that makes all consumables that have randomly selected card requiresments (ex. replica, incantation, grim, unstable's conferment) turn to SELECTED cards instead
idea: cards that select a certain rank or suit choose a RANDOM rank or suit each round

[manic rune]

if its the former then probably take reference from how balatro itself does it lol

[sage crater]

oh true

[vast night]

playing card

[chrome widget]

Observatory uses the "other_consumeable" context which I believe is basically a variation of "other_joker" (which is what Baseball Card uses to grant mult for other Jokers)

[manic rune]

yeah you can just set in_pool for the enhancement with that texture to false lol

[pure salmon]

yeah i have a few other_joker jokers, that's a cool context to know. if only it was on the wiki...

[upbeat bronze]

Im trying to think of all of the possible effect triggers and responses for vanilla-like jokers

Am i missing any big effect timing things?

Possible effect bases:

• When leaving the shop
• When entering a blind
• When using a consumable
• When selling a Joker
• When playing a hand
• When discarding
• When buying from the shop
• When a card is destroyed
• When rerolling the shop
• When another Joker triggers
• When opening a Booster Pack
• When skipping a Booster Pack
• When the round ends

[vast night]

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

[upbeat bronze]

well yeah im aware of that but im trying to translate that into actually useful english

lol

[umbral zodiac]

what is the format the game looks for in an info_queue? trying to add my own custom set of them to a voucher which has a ton of different effects based on the deck youre playing

[chrome widget]

You can either use a center, or use a table that looks for a specific key

[pure salmon]

didn't you miss When the round ends? that's a big one

[upbeat bronze]

Cause like that page is nice and helpful but when thinking of joker effect concepts its annoying to scroll thru paragraphs of info that isnt fully useful in the context

Oh yeah

[pure salmon]

When a boss blind is defeated is used on Campfire, and there's a completely unique alternate context for this for Anaglyph Deck for some reason

[umbral zodiac]

is there no way to just add my own text to it w/o needing a key / center

[vast night]

bump

[pure salmon]

there's also Playing/Discarding first hand, used on DNA, Sixth Sense and Trading Card

[chrome widget]

You should put your text in a localization file under "other" and then look for it like this:
info_queue[#info_queue] = {key = "key", set = "Other", vars = { } }

This allows you to give a name and description for a custom one

I don't think there's a way to give it plain text

It expects some kind of table

[upbeat bronze]

yeah was aware of those but i didnt think to write em down separately from the standard hand played/discarded but i suppose i should

[umbral zodiac]

me needing to add a localization file just for this because i have no intention to localize my mod since i am but one person🥀

[chrome widget]

Loc files aren't really useful for other language support

They're more flexible in a lot of ways

[outer basalt]

mood. i have one set up just for the functionality

[umbral zodiac]

me localizing my mod into broken spanish becasue thats the only non english language i """"speak""""

[outer basalt]

lord

mine would be some french and spanish but like. the french is good but only for the lore bits

[tight notch]

how would i make a joker that replaces certain tags?

[chrome widget]

Depends on what you mean. Tags are pretty nonstandard compared to other objects in terms of how their effects are calculated and how they're drawn

[tight notch]

whenever an edition tag appears replace it with a negative tag

[vast night]

playing card

[chrome widget]

Oh you mean it replaces one tag with another

[vast night]

i want it to be just in the main menu tho

not deck

[tight notch]

Yeah

[manic rune]

you have to do extra stuff for it to be in deck 😭

[vast night]

idfk

i just want it to be a custom texture lmfao

sry

[manic rune]

id make an enhancement with the texture you want, set in_pool to return false and just not touch it at all

then check whatever code that adds that card, add another one and put the enhancement on it

thats my approach 🤔

[outer basalt]

it will still appear in cryptids equilibrium deck

[manic rune]

theres something you need to set for that

i forgot

no_doe?

[chrome widget]

Yeah

[outer basalt]

shrugs

[manic rune]

yeah its annoying when that happens

[outer basalt]

i just know from experience that they will pop up LMAO

[manic rune]

my entire mod's skill tree spawned in the shop once 😭

I'll be honest, I'm not sure I understand the appeal of cryptid, but godspeed

[outer basalt]

CardComplex 🔛🔝

waluigi is probably one of the best non exotics in cryptid

i've never lost a run with waluigi

[manic rune]

i like wario more

[outer basalt]

I think my enjoyment comes from the same place that makes me enjoy eldritch horror.

Horrors I cant comprehend and Numbers I cant comprehend

[tight notch]

also perkeo and pointer is so op

[chrome widget]

Unfortunately im not at my computer so I can't look at the vanilla code to know where tags are stored

[manic rune]

hook to create_tag, probably

[tight notch]

you can just make more perkeo and then get more

[manic rune]

-# wait is that the function's name

[outer basalt]

. remind me one day to make a list of all hookable functions

[vast night]

enhancement or edition?

[tight notch]

even if i could hook it how would i check what the tag is

and then replace it

[manic rune]

enhancement, if you want to make a shader then edition

create_tag has an arg that includes the key of the created tag or smt, no?

[outer basalt]

prolly have it do the normal roll then check what it rolled itno then change

[frigid cargo]

whats the size for booster packs? just the same 71x95?

[manic rune]

its either the tag's center or key

[vast night]

k get it. and should i remove the title_card:set_base(G.P_CARDS["C_A"], true) then??

[tight notch]

?

[manic rune]

no dont, just add another card to there

[tight notch]

i don't know the function or it's paramaters so this is new to me

[vast night]

?

[outer basalt]

let me seeee

[manic rune]

arent you trying to add another card

not completely change the one card added by balatro

[vast night]

exactly

[manic rune]

yes, dont touch ANYTHING the base card is using then

[vast night]

and iit uses this

    local title_card = create_card("Base", G.title_top, nil, nil, nil, nil)
    -- title_card:set_base(G.P_CARDS["C_A"], true)
    title_card:set_ability('m_reddit_mmc')

oooh

huh?

what pool do i set it to

[outer basalt]

Okay nvm i gtg 😔 good luck out there soldier

[manic rune]

do you have the enhancement set up

[vast night]

yes

[manic rune]

byee

[vast night]

its

m_reddit_mmc

[manic rune]

i see

you arent overriding the title card already in game, right

if you arent then the code above should be right, i think

[vast night]

it still pulls a card from the Base pool

how could i remove the baes

[manic rune]

what do you mean by that

[vast night]

a playing card gets overlaid

[manic rune]

i see

one sec

[vast night]

thanks for your time lol

[sturdy compass]

The fabled Reddit of Diamonds

[manic rune]

did you set this to true in your SMODS.Enhancement

[manic rune]

all good, i try my best :p

[vast night]

tysm

andd like i see in the docs i should also enable "overrides_base_rank"

[manic rune]

-# i didnt notice enhancements dont have in_pool, oops

[vast night]

lol

[shell harness]

how do i add cards to the starting deck

[manic rune]

oh wait it does

neglect whatever i said above there, i think that person is dumb

[shell harness]

anyone

[manic rune]

if the function itself then you can check how jokers that add playing cards to deck work,

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "certificate",
    unlocked = false,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    pos = { x = 8, y = 8 },
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            local _card = create_playing_card({
                front = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('vremade_certificate')),
                center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base
            }, G.discard, true, nil, { G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced }, true)
            _card:set_seal(SMODS.poll_seal({ guaranteed = true, type_key = 'vremade_certificate_seal' }))
            return {
                func = function()
                    -- This is for retrigger purposes, Jokers need to return something to retrigger
                    -- You can also do this outside the return and `return nil, true` instead
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.hand:emplace(_card)
                            _card:start_materialize()
                            G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(_card)
                            G.hand:sort()
                            if context.blueprint_card then
                                context.blueprint_card:juice_up()
                            else
                                card:juice_up()
                            end
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { _card } })
                end
            }
        end
    end,
    check_for_unlock = function(self, args) -- equivalent to `unlock_condition = { type = 'double_gold' }`
        return args.type == 'double_gold'
    end
}

i took it from here https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/0930fcef73e437ee4192ebb1ee12431399654129/src/jokers.lua

[untold vigil]

Any idea why this error ocurrs?

[sturdy compass]

It's something to do with Cryptid. I would highly recommend against developing with Cryptid in your environment unless you're making a Cryptid expansion or are developing compatibility

[untold vigil]

I may try compatibility with Cryptid after I learn lua

[sturdy compass]

That is much easier said than done

[tight notch]

try updating cryptid

[untold vigil]

after disabling the cryptid

[untold vigil]

I know

[sturdy compass]

wtf is cac

[tight notch]

i'm making a cryptid addon and there aren't any issues for me

[untold vigil]

That version came with a mod pack

[tight notch]

what mod pack?

[sturdy compass]

I mean making an addon is easier than making a seperate mod with compat

[untold vigil]

I dunno, polterworx

[tight notch]

idk then

i would play polterworx if it wasn't polterworx

[sturdy compass]

lmfao

[tight notch]

you can download the source code from github and update it like that

and update steamodded and talisman while you can

[untold vigil]

And aiyokoris

[tight notch]

try updating then disabling polterworx and see if it doesn't crash

[coarse plank]

How do I check whenever any chance based effect triggers and conversaly whenever one doesnt

[velvet forum]

how do I fix the attempt to compare number with table bug that Talisman causes?

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

            return true
        end,

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.15,
        func = function()

            play_sound("card1")

    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

        func = function()
            card:flip()
            return true
        end,

why does this flip face down twice? does card:flip() work differently now?

[tight notch]

mod compatibility is the issue

what mods do you have

ik that yahimod has this issue

[tight notch]

and if you are using yahimod downgrade to 2.0 and don't use any twitch jokers
