okay it doesnt crash now but it also doesnt work at all either

(print functions dont work either)

[wintry solar]

if context.before then if context.after

[hasty mist]

ah so thats why i had the end

[wintry solar]

honestly, correct indentation would be a god send for you

[hasty mist]

i am really bad at indentation since im still relatively new at lua 😭

[daring fern]

If you have the lua extension you can do Right Click > Format Document

[pulsar furnace]

is there a documentation or something?

[hasty mist]

that did not do anything

lua extension has literally never actually helped me

[daring fern]

Are you sure you have the correct lua extension?

[hasty mist]

sumneko

that one, right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

this is so emberassing 😭

im having so much trouble on what should be a completely simple joker

the code literally worked just fine before i tried to simplify it and now it refuses to work no matter what i do

[wintry solar]

'''

these are the patches I use for a similar style of effect

[hasty mist]

this was the old code that i was using for this same joker (which worked just fine)

[pulsar furnace]

this is in the same file as the deck? or some diffrent file

[wintry solar]

in a .toml file

[pulsar furnace]

oh ok

[hasty mist]

now as im trying to simplify it using a new function i made for scoremod (example) i just cant figure it out

[final jewel]

So I tried using context.destroy_card but it doesn't work too

[daring fern]

context.end_of_hand doesn't exist.

context.destroy_card is not a function.

[dawn ravine]

hi i was interested in getting into modding does anyone have any good resources they liked using for learning. I found some but I want to see if anyone else has suggestions?

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441

[final jewel]

omg I was really thinking it exist mb

[primal robin]

Why? Because I can

[vale berry]

can you make cis nonbinary

[hasty mist]

okay i tried completely rewriting the code again and i am still getting the same error

[plush vault]

I started by grabbing a mod with a single joker, breaking it open and changing things around to see what worked and what broke
https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/323?tab=description

Of course, do that while reading through the github documentation

Then throw your hat in the ring and try making your own Joker!, any basic one will do, just to get the grip of it

[hasty mist]

am i just stupid im so confused

[sonic cedar]

Nah I’d Joke

[daring fern]

You still have too many ends.

[sonic cedar]

where is the lua extension when you need it good lord thats a lot of end statements

[hasty mist]

the lua extension doesnt help me

i might actually just be stupid

[daring fern]

Maybe you have extensions that are interfering?

[plush vault]

For the if above of course 🍌

[wintry solar]

the extra end is at the end btw

not the top one

[hasty mist]

only have 2 extensions (the rust extension never gets enabled and i always try enabling the lua extension whenever i run into a syntax error)

[wintry solar]

it's just badly formatted

[hasty mist]

i do THINK i finally found the issue

[plush vault]

End x mult

[hasty mist]

at least i hope so 😭

[sonic cedar]

I lost to formatting im ending it

[hasty mist]

okay i think i finally got it

i sincerely apologize to everyone for my severe incompetency 😭

[sonic cedar]

you need to apologize for that formatting

[wild pine]

Anyone know how to have a joker check if a blind is about to be beaten? It seems like even when the context is context.after the score still doesn't update in time despite having been calculated already on screen

[hasty mist]

i apologize for my formatting

[wild pine]

Like for a joker that does x if a hand doesn't beat a blind, but does y if it does beat a blind

[plush vault]

nil my beloved (please end my suffering)

[hasty mist]

horse race test spotted

[wild pine]

I don't know who this nil guy is but I swear when I find him

[plush vault]

Text call

loc_txt = {
        name = 'Me petting my nuclear bomb',
        text = {
            "{X:mult,C:white}X3{}",
            "{C:green}#1# іn #2#{} chance to {C:red,E:2}explode{}",
            "{s:0.7}{C:inactive}Me petting my nuclear bomb{}"
        }
    }

The other two things

config = {
        extra = {
            Xmult = 3,
            odds = 3
        }
    },
    
    loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center)
        return{
        G.GAME.probabilities.normal, -- #1
        local_odds = {center.ability.extra.odds} -- #2
        }
    end,

If anyone can skim what's wrong do let me know ;-;

[sonic cedar]

Well what happens

[spice wadi]

its gotta be like vars = {var1, var2, etc}

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, card.ability.extra.cost, card.ability.extra.triggers, card.ability.extra.reset_triggers, card.ability.extra.reset_triggers - card.ability.extra.triggers } }
    end,```

example

[plush vault]

When I did that it started giving me the "229: attempt to index global 'card' (a nil value)" Error ;n;

[spice wadi]

thats because you put center instead of card

[plush vault]

I'll try this, thank you!

[spice wadi]

also you should change this to use an argument for the mult instead of just writing X3

[plush vault]

vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } -- I assume?

[spice wadi]

well youll need the other ones

like your cards odds and the probabilities var too

[plush vault]

Why did the cat eat the letter i

[karmic sand]

hungry

[daring fern]

It's because the і you put is not a normal i

[karmic sand]

I found out the crash my game was having was because I was trying to load the previously broken save rather than starting a new one (I am very smart :3)

[daring fern]

і instead of i

[plush vault]

I dont even know how to unpack this, is it because my keyboard is in spanish?

[daring fern]

Probably.

[plush vault]

Im saving this in a pastebin, thank you ;-;

[hasty mist]

if i may ask, what does the jovial merriment joker do, im curious

[plush vault]

Green joker but forced to high card

[hasty mist]

thats awesome

[zinc violet]

hello, a question, how could I replicate the randomness behavior of misprint but with chips?

[spice wadi]

look at the VanillaRemade repo to see how misprint works

[zinc violet]

Ok thanks

[umbral zodiac]

whats the g.c color for the default text color (in card descriptions)

[maiden phoenix]

@zealous glen

[hasty mist]

black

[umbral zodiac]

wrong

[paper zealot]

G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK, i think

[hasty mist]

huh

[umbral zodiac]

thank you so much im finally done with this thing

[hasty mist]

before i knew of {} i would just do {c:black}

and it would work

[zealous glen]

Another Jovial Merryment :0

[paper zealot]

That works. black isn't a valid colour in the list, so it would use the default of TEXT_DARK

[hasty mist]

oh my god LMAO

[umbral zodiac]

JOKER LORE DONE HAHA

except it doesnt turn back

but thats like a 90 second fix at most

[hasty mist]

entropic?

[umbral zodiac]

unfortunately not an entropy reference

just a really convinient crossover between the name of the mod and the writing i did

[hasty mist]

ah lmao

[umbral zodiac]

somethingcom what are you confused about

the thinker

[granite nymph]

im sorry for posting here really often but i am once again asking for help

[daring fern]

What is the issue?

[granite nymph]

this card is supposed to remove the played hand if it contains a seven

but instead it just removes every single card on screen

[wintry solar]

remove the bottom return

[plush vault]

Not again 💥

[daring fern]

and context.main_eval

[plush vault]

Wait huh

I was using end_of_round for the context, as it is supposed to die only when changing round

Should I put it as an and?

[clear ocean]

Looking at the documentation, config are for local variables?

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'RussianRoulette',
  loc_txt = {
    ['en-us'] = {
      name = 'Russian Roulette',
      -- x2 mult (maybe increase?)
      -- 1 in 6 chance of self destruct
      -- lowers the denominator each hand played (1 in 5... 1 in 4)
      -- resets the denominator to six when blind is selected
      text = { 'Example', 'text', 'on', 'five', 'lines'},
    }
  }
  atlas = 'joker',
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  rarity = 1,
  eternal_compat = false,
}

[plush vault]

Adding it as a and worked like a charm, thank you!

[clear ocean]

Interesting joker idea. Is the balance like the average of chip and multiplayer?

[daring fern]

No, it is for variables that are independant for every card.

[clear ocean]

Every card as in each Joker card?

[daring fern]

No, it's like that for all cards.

[plush vault]

Whats the input and output of pseudorandom()?

[hollow snow]

pseudorandom(seed (string),min (number),max (number)) i have used it like that

[clear ocean]

I see.

[hollow snow]

you can omit min and max

[daring fern]

seed, min, max and a number that is from 1 to 0 if min and max are not specified.

[plush vault]

What would be the output then?, decimals from 0 to 1?

[hollow snow]

yeah

[plush vault]

Thank you, I love you guys 😭 💖

[cursive gazelle]

nice deck skin

[clear ocean]

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'RussianRoulette',
  config = { extra = { odds = 6 } },
  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    
  end,
  loc_txt = {
    ['en-us'] = {
      name = 'Russian Roulette',
      -- x2 mult (maybe increase?)
      -- 1 in 6 chance of self destruct
      -- lowers the denominator each hand played (1 in 5... 1 in 4)
      -- resets the denominator to six when blind is selected
      text = { 'Example', 'text', 'on', 'five', 'lines'},
    }
  }
  atlas = 'joker',
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  rarity = 1,
  eternal_compat = false
}

something like this?

[daring fern]

Perhaps.

[sonic cedar]

thanks winter

[cursive gazelle]

first time modding ?

[clear ocean]

yes and no. i have messed around with modding on other games and languages

[final jewel]

I might be anoying but I've tried for like 5 hours and I'm not able to destroy the card

[daring fern]

context.destroying_card does not happen during context.final_scoring_step

[final jewel]

but I'm getting this crash idk why

[daring fern]

Code?

[final jewel]

the entire code ?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[final jewel]

Here

Mb Discrord didn't let me copy the entire code

[clear ocean]

you can use pastebin or github gists 😅

[paper zealot]

I think you should also be able to upload the .lua file

[final jewel]

i'll try

it work

[clear ocean]

👍

like that

[hushed field]

Would anyone happen to know what determines how buttons are attached relative to a card? It moves it around depending on the cardarea for me, but I'm not sure how I'd account for that, yet

[spice wadi]

edit: solved my issue, i was an idiot, removed the code to hide how much of an idiot i am

im starting to learn UI, why doesnt the text show up ingame at all? also does anyone know the best place to learn UI from aside from the wiki (eg tutorials, guides, examples)
if anyone responds ping me please 🙏

[hushed field]

can you show the rest of the code?

[paper zealot]

I'm not super knowledgeable about SMODS.Joker, but I think it adds your mod's prefix to the key automatically, so it should be key = 'blueChicken' instead of giga_blueChicken for all the key definitions

[spice wadi]

this is it for the UI itself
i should clarify that the box shows up and the text showed up previously but im not sure what changed

[granite nymph]

can you fix this or is it always like that

[shell harness]

you need to give it a name

[paper zealot]

You can fix ✨ everything✨ if you try hard enough

[modern kindle]

Idk man I'm pretty stupid I just stupid harder I dont win

[zinc violet]

uuuuuuuh

How can I fix this?

[granite nymph]

it has a name it just breaks in the menu

[spice wadi]

show the original code please

[zinc violet]

okkkk

is literally a gros michel but it gives you chips instead mult

[spice wadi]

@final jewel since you used the question mark instead of responding im gonna just explain that
in your mods settings you specify a prefix, so you only need to put things like key = "bluechicken" and it becomes j_giga_blueChicken

[final jewel]

oh ok

[daring fern]

text needs to be a table.

[spice wadi]

im assuming youre referring to under loc_txt?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[final jewel]

Its like an habit that I have because of C# coding

[spice wadi]

whats a habit

i realise i worded that wrong 😭 i know what a habit is, whats your habit

[granite nymph]

can someone actually answer this question

[zinc violet]

okkk

[wild escarp]

How would I check if a played hand has unscoring cards?

[spice wadi]

they did answer your question
it can be fixed, if you cant figure out how then look at what other mods do

[granite nymph]

the other mod is yahimod and that ones broken as well

and im not gonna look for the booster code in cryptid

[zinc violet]

okkk its working

thx

[daring fern]

if #context.full_hand ~= #context.scoring_hand?

[wild escarp]

That might work, I'll try it out.

[spice wadi]

garbshit adds boosters

[wintry solar]

you need a group_key = 'key', in your booster definition, the localization goes in misc>dictionary>key

[granite nymph]

i use loc_txt{ do i put it in there?

[wintry solar]

I'm not sure how it works with loc txt but you should use a loc file regardless

[granite nymph]

im gonna be honest im never translating my mod

[clear ocean]

what would be a simpler word for denominator for the 1 in 6?

maybe odds?

[wintry solar]

looks like you can add group_name = "string" in loc txt

oops, fixed typo

[final jewel]

But I dont think the crash is related to the name of my key like its when I select a card (Its normal that the card is invisible, I just didn't make the art)

[glad osprey]

how would smods.load_file handle a png

[clear ocean]

hm. i think the text is getting too much should i keep like the resetting and lowering the odds hidden and the player discovers that for themselves?

[granite nymph]

link?

[hybrid shadow]

why do you need to load a png

[spice wadi]

Even if the crash isn't related, the way you wrote your key before is just bad practice and would cause you issues later

[turbid maple]

No that's kind of an important information to withhold as a secret mechanic

[glad osprey]

do not question

[spice wadi]

It'll be just as easy for you to find it yourself

It's on GitHub

[hybrid shadow]

good luck with that then

[granite nymph]

it is not easy to find

[clear ocean]

you are right about that hm

[turbid maple]

Gains X0.5 Mult for each hand played
1 in 6 chance to self destruct instead
Odd increases with each hand played
and resets when Blind is selected

best I can do for a concise tooltip

[clear ocean]

thank you

[granite nymph]

first result is wiki, then three videos, then wiki, then hanging chad on the actual wiki, then an article about balatro, riff raff on the official wiki, then another artical

[spice wadi]

The first search result for "garbshit balatro" is the wiki page for it with a GitHub link on there

The majority of mod wiki pages have the GitHub link if it exists

[granite nymph]

nevermind

[final jewel]

kk thx

[hybrid shadow]

i think im finally done taking ownership of consumables

now its just jokers left

[sonic cedar]

local vif = Talisman and to_big and to_big(G.GAME.dollars):lte(0) or G.GAME.dollars <= to_big(0)
i have a variable here created for the purpose of creating a check for if you try to buy anything while you have less than or 0 dollars
however, it appears this is accidentally talisman dependent
how can i make it from dependent to compatible?

usage of variable pictured

[clear ocean]

@turbid maple what do you think

[turbid maple]

don't like "odds increase" coming before said odds

[zinc violet]

ou damn

[clear ocean]

gains mult and odds with each hand played?

[zinc violet]

but the sound is in the folder

[clear ocean]

maybe make sure the file format is .ogg?

[zinc violet]

is it because of the code?

[zinc violet]

yes

is in ogg

[hybrid shadow]

nope gotta fix some shit lmao

[clear ocean]

what does the file location look like in the code?

[spice wadi]

What is it that you're actually doing that for

[zinc violet]

this?

[hybrid shadow]

2 jokers that change the effects of most consumables (1 doubles effect of tarots and the other removes downsides from spectrals)

[zinc violet]

because before I had presented something similar with another sound but I didn't have to register it.

[clear ocean]

the jokers.lua

[zinc violet]

ooooou

[hybrid shadow]

also making sure that the ones that destroy cards dont destroy cards with one of my stickers on them

[zinc violet]

forget it, I think I saw the problem

[subtle merlin]

I fell asleep for a while but now that I'm awake bump

[zinc violet]

ok, now the other problem

in the code I modified everything that gave multi for chips (because it is literally a gros michel but it gives chips), and it still gives multi

so I wouldn't know what to move anymore

[final monolith]

Removing downsides from spectrals seems interesting

Wraith (I think) would become discount soul

[hybrid shadow]

walmart soul

[final monolith]

Yes

[daring fern]

Would it be possible to get the most prominent colour on a joker?

[final monolith]

Wdym?

If you mean as in shader then probably not

[daring fern]

For example lusty joker would probably be #ec2d33

Like go over every pixel somehow and increment counts for every hex value.

[hybrid shadow]

sounds tedious

[final monolith]

Also in most cases the color would probably be ugly

[sonic cedar]

if this was C, yeah

however this is lua

[wheat jewel]

I'm referencing the code for diet cola but how could i make a joker produce the skip tag of a selected blind?

[final monolith]

If you mean "blending" the colors

[daring fern]

No, I mean the colour that is used most.

[final monolith]

If you mean getting the colors with the most pixels with the exact color then it's like

[hybrid shadow]

most common color

[final monolith]

90% of the jokers is white right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

But for the other jokers that are not mostly white.

[final monolith]

Either way it's probably not possible without directly getting the sprite in the code

[sonic cedar]

G.GAME.blind_on_deck

[hybrid shadow]

random question but is there a way to use a custom color for localization text (and if so how would i do)

[wheat jewel]

Where do i put it? inside of the tag function?

[wind steppe]

"{C:blue}text in blue{}text in white{C:mult}text in mult red"

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

[hybrid shadow]

"custom"

[sonic cedar]

establish it in your main file (image 1), have this at the top of ur code wherever you want to use it (not the main file) (image 2)

[wind steppe]

oh

return a custom color in loc_vars

[daring fern]

You would do return {vars = {colours = {colour}}} in loc_vars

[sonic cedar]

example (it's the same as literally any color)

[paper zealot]

Love2D's ImageData has a getPixel function that you could iterate over. I think the sprite atlas tables contain image_data, I'd try that first

[wheat jewel]

Like this?

[sonic cedar]

maybe?? let me double check

gimme a lil

[wheat jewel]

ok

[chrome widget]

Yeah you can def do this it just might not be cheap doing it in Lua code

[paper zealot]

Even the best implementation of a most common colour value function will be slow though, and in the worst case you'll need a table with 16.7 million entries. You'll only want to run it once for all Jokers on load and store the results

[hard flume]

Hi

[paper zealot]

https://love2d.org/wiki/ImageData
You could also grab the memory address with getFFIPointer and do it in C instead

[zinc violet]

is there a way to "randomize" the text, so to speak?
for example, at the end of the round, the joker throws a text like gros michel, but I want it to say different and so on.

what I mean is that I have these and I would like them to rotate for each round won
I don't know if I'm getting into it.

[spice wadi]

Ohhh that's cool!
Good luck with that

[brittle tide]

is there a way to make a joker give you specific tarot cards?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[brittle tide]

could you tell me how?

[daring fern]

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

[brittle tide]

thank you

[subtle merlin]

TIL: holding "m" will relaunch the game (I think this is caused by debug plus)

[hybrid shadow]

bad argument to min here

[clear ocean]

just found out you can do this maybe this could help

thinking about it, there is a chance you can get go above six hands so i'm not sure if it would be a good idea

[hallow slate]

How??? That’s crazy I love it

I really need something like this for funny text

[clear ocean]

            j_mod_multi_joker = {
                name = 'Name',
                text = {
                    {
                       'First line of box 1',
                       'Second line of box 1',
                    },
                    {
                       'First line of box 2',
                       'Second line of box 2',
                    }
        }

[hallow slate]

That and another badge I can use for categories

Can I make it toggleable via configs too?

[hybrid shadow]

ive been using multi box stuff for all my jokers that destroy themselves like gros michel

[clear ocean]

i don't know if that is possible feel free to find out

[hybrid shadow]

but maybe... there can be... three boxes...

[hybrid shadow]

holy shit

the third box

[hallow slate]

Oh yeah btw if anyone knows how to add stuff to the ui send me because I have this feature I need a ui thing for

[clear ocean]

not sure which word is the best. odds, probability

[hallow slate]

Temporary hands and discards.

[hybrid shadow]

apparently when in game, the bad argument is that im giving it a table and not a number

[obtuse silo]

need help with this error

[paper zealot]

This guide is the best for creating your own UI elements, though it'll take some time to read through and understand:
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

If you want more specific help, ask more specific questions

[hallow slate]

Might need another Ritalin for that LOL

[hybrid shadow]

is mintconditioncards your entire mod prefix

[obtuse silo]

yeah

[hallow slate]

Thx for sending

[hybrid shadow]

youre injecting it before it exists

[clear ocean]

what do you think

the card art is a placeholder if it wasn't obvious

[obtuse silo]

so
i just need to rearrange the script order so that they execute in a different order?

[hybrid shadow]

i think so. if the default is the consumable i think you should remove set = from it just to make sure you dont have an eternal error where they keep trying to call the other before they exist

[clear ocean]

maybe add the chance colour for odds or change the y in x in y chance to a different colour or is that too much

SMODS.Joker {
  key = 'RussianRoulette',
  config = { extra = { Xmult = 0.5, Cmult = 1.00, odds = 6 } },
  loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { 
      vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult, card.ability.extra.Cmult, (G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds } 
    }
    end,
  loc_txt = {
    ['en-us'] = {
      name = 'Russian Roulette',
      text = {
        {
          '{X:mult,C:white} X#1# {} Mult for every hand played',
          '{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white} X#2#{C:inactive} Mult)',
        },
        {
          '{C:green}#3# in #4#{} chance this card self-',
          'destructs for every hand played'
        },
        {
          'Odds increase with each hand play',
          'Odds reset after {C:attention}Blind{} is selected'
        }
      },
      unlock = {
        'Have a Joker card self-destruct',
        'during a run to unlock this card.'
      },
    }
  },
  atlas = 'joker',
  pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
  rarity = 1,
  eternal_compat = false
}

[obtuse silo]

same error
despite the order

[clear ocean]

i think it's time to actually make the code and find out how to make an unlock condition. looking at the wiki, is there something you have to program in for the blueprint and its cousins (brainstorm) to work or would it like run the calculate function again

[hybrid shadow]

youre still putting it in the pool before the pool exists

[obtuse silo]

so how would i go about injecting the consumable into the pool after it's been initialised?
without the pools line going to the tiles page just causes the game to crash since it's trying to load a page with nothing on it

[pulsar furnace]

how do i know if my lovely injector code works

[clear ocean]

i believe joker main is the right choice

[hybrid shadow]

ok swap them back, idk why its crashing unless you havent made the pool yet

[obtuse silo]

maybe i just haven't made the pool yet
idk how specifically to make one though

[paper zealot]

You can check the %AppData%/Balatro/Mods/lovely/dump folder for code changes made by Lovely patches. Just make sure you close the files before starting Balatro, or Lovely won't be able to delete them and will error

[obtuse silo]

no wait
maybe i need to use the cards = {} like with any old ObjectType

[hybrid shadow]

bump (reason for bad argument is that its apparently a table and not a number)

[clear ocean]

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind then
      return {
        -- reset effect?
        odds = 6
      }
    end,
    if context.joker_main then
            return {
          -- roll
          
          -- if true self destruct
          -- if false add to mult
          return {
            xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
          }
            }
        end
  end,

hmm is there a random function

[obtuse silo]

i'mma try this

[sonic cedar]

hi im home
try G.GAME.skip_tag actually
you might have to hook into it though

[obtuse silo]

nope
same error

[clear ocean]

looked it up, pseudorandom

what are the perminators?

[sonic cedar]

@sturdy compass
didnt you do something like this in maximus actually
is it G.GAME.skip_tag or am i crazy

[obtuse silo]

i just wanna make my own consumable type this is going to be the death of me

[clear ocean]

looking at the examples, it's something like thisif pseudorandom('gros_michel2') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then

what does the string do?

[hybrid shadow]

the string here is the seed i think

[clear ocean]

how do you make your own seed unless the pseudorandom can work with 1 to 6

[sonic cedar]

you just make one ngl

[clear ocean]

pseudorandom('russian') like this?

[sonic cedar]

whatever you make the string will be that seed

[hybrid shadow]

because 6 is the whole number

[hybrid shadow]

youre doing 1/6 which is approx. .167

[hybrid shadow]

your pseudorandom('seed') returns a number between 0 and 1

so if your number is less than ~.16 then the statement is true

[clear ocean]

  calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind then
      odds = 6
      return {
        message = 'Reroll!'
      }
    end,
    if context.joker_main then
      if pseudorandom('russian') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
        -- destroy
        message = 'Fire!'
      else
        card.ability.extra.cmult = card.ability.extra.cmult + card.ability.extra.xmult
        return {
          cmult = card.ability.extra.cmult
          message = 'Safe!'
        }
      end
        end

[obtuse silo]

i tried putting cards = {c_mintconditioncards_balloon = true} into my consumable type and it just came up with the same error message

[clear ocean]

something like this?

oh yeah

forgot to add the card.ability.extra.odds += 1 and probably should add an overflow statement just to be safe

[hybrid shadow]

idk how to deal with this i havent made custom object types before

[obtuse silo]

ah
i won't bother you any further
thanks for helping, even if we didn't resolve it

[clear ocean]

you have to add all of this?

okay i think let's give this a try

[hybrid shadow]

only the parts that you want to include, i can walk you through what does what here (though i am wondering why you arent looking at vanillaremade)

[clear ocean]

i am looking at vanillaremade that's how i figure out how to properly do the mult gain

[hybrid shadow]

why is the pseudorandom cavendish2 and not vremade_cavendish, are you looking at an older version

[clear ocean]

i'm looking at both the example and vanilla

[subtle merlin]

Quick question: how could I make a consumable take 2 slots instead of one?

[hybrid shadow]

in any case card = nil doesnt really do anything here since the card is removed by this point anyway

[clear ocean]

oh yeah that makes sense

[pulsar furnace]

so i have a file .toml, i what to know if it needs some code in the main file to actually work or something

[clear ocean]

getting an error and trying to toubleshoot and honestly not sure what is causing it

[obtuse silo]

i'm not certain myself since it's finnicky
but you could make it so a consumable reduces your number of slots by 1

[clear ocean]

i removed the new code i put in just in case

[hybrid shadow]

it tells you what line to look at

[clear ocean]

the return for else

i'm looking at the code and checking to make sure which code block goes to what and i'm still not sure what causing this

[hybrid shadow]

why is your second message not being returned here

your 'fire' message

[clear ocean]

isn't it supposed to be in one area? i was going to readd the self destruct animation after or before the fire message

[hybrid shadow]

the message needs to be in a return

[brittle tide]

Is there a way to get the suit of a card thats played? I tried this but it was just an error and I don't know the correct term.

[clear ocean]

don't tell me that's why the error was happening 💔

[hybrid shadow]

whats the goal here

[clear ocean]

nope

same issue

[karmic sand]

If I wanted to make a consumable that had the effect of taking up 2 slots instead of 1 slot how would I go about doing that

[hybrid shadow]

send ut

[clear ocean]

same error same line and everything

[hybrid shadow]

what is line 34 here, include the line numbers on the left of your vsc

[brittle tide]

I'm making a Joker that if you play a royal flush it will convert all cards remaining in hand to the same suit played then give you a death and hanged man. I've got the death and hanged man for playing a royal flush working and I'm trying to figure out how to set the cards remaining in hand.

[clear ocean]

apologies

[hybrid shadow]

you need a comma at the end of the line

[clear ocean]

oh

OH

[hybrid shadow]

if a return has multiple lines, its a table, so it needs commas

[clear ocean]

looks like all is left is to add the self destruct and test

[hybrid shadow]

also isnt it is_suit()?

[brittle tide]

oh wait it might just be that

[clear ocean]

moment of truth

[brittle tide]

I was just taking from how I checked for an ace and a king with get

[clear ocean]

ok it works, but visually there are some issues

the 1 in 6 doesn't update as it looks like and the animation seems too quick

[final monolith]

I like this concept actually

[hybrid shadow]

i should take some screenshots of my fav jokers (the ones that work anyway

[clear ocean]

it should be 1 in 5 now but its not

[sturdy compass]

I did do this however I had to lovely patch it. G.GAME.skip_tag is of my own creation lol

[clear ocean]

is there a reason why it does that?

maybe the 2x mult is enough to tell that it's safe?

[hybrid shadow]

show code

[clear ocean]

sure

#4 is card.ability.extra.odds

[hybrid shadow]

i mean youre not changing the odds because the odds start out as 6 and youre adding odds when odds are less than 6

[clear ocean]

so decrease the odds?

[subtle merlin]

What if someone has more than 6 hands? Do all of the jokers just die if they use every hand?

[clear ocean]

and invert the if statement

[clear ocean]

yeah it looks like it

is that a fair trade off is this is likely going to be a common/uncommon

[violet gulch]

Does this description make sense? Had it worded differently and wifey thought it was confusing, so looking for if its clear now.

[last field]

can anyone tell me what the sprite size is for a deck? I keep trying to find the size for it but when I open the game it doesnt show (I apologize if this isn't the right channel)

[clear ocean]

like this? @hybrid shadow

[paper zealot]

That's probably the clearest wording, it makes sense. Do the relevant card ranks change colour or something when they're scored?

It's a pretty neat Joker idea actually

[violet gulch]

Currently no, but that is the intention, to have them turn green (or some color) after being played

[clear ocean]

i thought i messed up the code since i spawn in one and i immeditally fired but here it is

i think i did it right

yeah i think it done

[solid mesa]

good night
im new to this and tried to do a scalating joker when the round ends
i use an if with context.end_of_round to do the sum function, but for some reason it triggers the sum like 800 times in a row.
jokers look for jokers that work similarly to see the code and fix this problem.
then i use context.game_end = false idk why or how this fix the problem

im trying to understand how it works, can anyone help me?

I know it could be something simple and annoying, I'm just starting out with this xd

[sonic cedar]

how did i guess a maximus variable

[sonic cedar]

looks awesome

[hybrid shadow]

thatll work but it wont reset when blind selected

[subtle merlin]

Is there a way to check if a card in play was scored or not?

[hybrid shadow]

cardarea == G.play only contains scoring cards (but idk if thats what you want)

[sturdy compass]

Ngl I should really mark my variables better 😭

[unborn bay]

no mxms_ prefix ,,,,

[subtle merlin]

I thought that contained all played cards

[sturdy compass]

Yeah…

[hybrid shadow]

that should work

[hybrid shadow]

apparently not given it works for me

[clear ocean]

yeah i need to balance this because even if you have a hundred of them only a dozen of them remain

[radiant oak]

Hi I'm trying to make a joker that would retrigger the whole scoring steps from beginning to end for 5 times. Right now it does repeat 5 times but it never triggers held in hand effects. can anyone tell me why?

[clear ocean]

maybe do the final round or something or a whole number mult gain?

[obtuse silo]

well, good news!
the pool's not empty!

[sonic cedar]

why is this just not triggering
like i even went up(? down?) to $-20 and it didnt trigger

[obtuse silo]

bad news is that i'm apparently trying to compare number with nil

[clear ocean]

okay i'll keep it as it is but change it to a whole gain so there is an incentive to use it for a blind or two

[subtle merlin]

Now the joker doesn't trigger at all

[clear ocean]

Animation wise is there any documentation on how to do that let me see if like a voucher opener is better

[wheat jewel]

I will

[sonic cedar]

there's also [this](#💻・modding-dev message) though

[clear ocean]

only three left out of twenty 😭

second round and all are gone i would say that balancing is needed

maybe 1 in 12? final round? or you KEEP the card but something else happens like it resets the mult or the shot is 0.5 on your mult

[wheat jewel]

So something like add_tag(Tag(G.GAME.skip_tag))

[sturdy compass]

Kinda, but again, I had to make a patch for skip_tag to even exist

[clear ocean]

yeah let me try the last one

[wheat jewel]

Now fully understanding this my bad but How do you do a patch to make it?

[sonic cedar]

minor bump
-# miniscule bump even

[sturdy compass]

It was as easy as this

[wheat jewel]

So just use this code to do so?

Gotcha!

[sturdy compass]

basically

Do make it unique to your mod tho (something I am doing right now)

[wheat jewel]

Thank you so much!!!

[obtuse silo]

anyone know how to fix this error
it occurs on me viewing the consumables

[wheat jewel]

Unique??

[obtuse silo]

cuz there's like
a button that appears when you have more than 3 consumable types

[wheat jewel]

Like change the method name and/or aspects of the patch?

[obtuse silo]

in the collection

[sturdy compass]

Add something like your mod prefix in your variable. Here's my now revised version with my mod's prefix

[wheat jewel]

Gotcha

Got home now so imma put this to work on my jonkler

[hybrid shadow]

in a for statement is context.scored_hand

[wheat jewel]

thanks for the help!’

[subtle merlin]

I didn't think you could mix the two

[violet gulch]

To this end ^, is there a way to pass a variable to the joker text and have it parse the formatting (e.g. {C:attention}). My attempt to do so, it just displayed the text, "{C:attention}Text{}".

[hybrid shadow]

wdym

the actual regular cardarea for scoring cards is G.play but for statements dont read that so you have to use context.scored_hand

[subtle merlin]

Yea G.play crashes no matter what

[thorn furnace]

How would I go about making a deck where you start with an eternal joker

[sonic cedar]

shouldnt those be formatted with HEX()

or no

[hybrid shadow]

yeah colors should be formatted like that

[obtuse silo]

mmm
i see

[sonic cedar]

can you not use global variables in conditionals

[wind steppe]

local para_extra_slots = function(self)
    return self.ability.para_negativesticker or self.config.center_key == "j_para_cooledwater"
end
local para_card_removal_old = Card.remove_from_deck
local para_card_addition_old = Card.add_to_deck
Card.remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if para_extra_slots(self) and G.jokers ~= nil and self.area == G.jokers then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit - 1
    end
    return para_card_removal_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end
Card.add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
     if para_extra_slots(self) and G.jokers ~= nil and self.area == G.jokers then
         G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1
    end
    return para_card_addition_old(self, card, from_debuff)
end

why do my hooks do nothing?

[obtuse silo]

yeah turns out that was the whole issue
thank you so so much

[wheat jewel]

Added the code but it crashes at line 2656

[sturdy compass]

This is in a Lua file, not a toml file

[subtle merlin]

Solved my issue, all i had to do was check if the card existed

[wheat jewel]

so do i make a toml file within my mod folder for this to work?

[sturdy compass]

You can either make a file called lovely.toml or make a folder called lovely and name the toml whatever you like inside of that folder

[wheat jewel]

within my mod folder right just to not confuse myself?

[sturdy compass]

yes

[wheat jewel]

Got a crash

[sturdy compass]

I am coming to the realization you have never done patches before

[wheat jewel]

Yeah i'm sorry ;;

[sturdy compass]

You need to add this top the top of the file

[wheat jewel]

Thank you, again i'm sorry, a lot of balatro modding is still new to me

[sturdy compass]

We've all been here before

Patching in particular is a weird concept to get a hold of

[wheat jewel]

I can definitely tell

Gonna try to look at how patching lovely works to understand it next time i might need it

There’s definitely some documentation out there

[sturdy compass]

Think of it as a way to add to or edit vanilla code

Documentation can be found here https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[wheat jewel]

I see

[sonic cedar]

i am losing my mind

[sturdy compass]

Shop? What shop?

[sonic cedar]

it ate the whole damn storefront
just call the function???

[sturdy compass]

What does Transform even do 😭

[sonic cedar]

you know exactly what it does

[sturdy compass]

Ah

This guy

[sonic cedar]

yes

this guy

am i missing a context??? like

why

[sturdy compass]

When would G.GAME.dollars be <= than card.ability.extra.dollars

[sonic cedar]

dollars = 0

[sturdy compass]

Does the buying_card context take place after easing dollars?

[sonic cedar]

i have no idea 🌈

[sturdy compass]

LOL

[sonic cedar]

EREMEL I AM BEGGING YOU TO FINISH UPDATING THE WIKI PLEASE

please eremel i need this my joker kinda contextless

[sturdy compass]

It looks like it does not

[sonic cedar]

you gotta fw me

[unborn bay]

shrimply create your own context

[sonic cedar]

im literally about to
-# oh my god i forgot how to make a context

[subtle merlin]

How can i make a consumable reduce the consumable slot size by 1?

[daring fern]

G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit - 1

[subtle merlin]

Ty!

[sturdy compass]

You could potentially loophole it and do if to_big(G.GAME.dollars) - to_big(context.card.cost) <= to_big(card.ability.extra.dollars) then

[sonic cedar]

how will this affect processing power

breeze why are you typing an essay

[sturdy compass]

[sonic cedar]

modding dev cannot be that serious

[sonic cedar]

i mean hey if it doesnt work
making my own context gurarararaha

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[turbid maple]

Does anyone have a good way to check the end of ante

[daring fern]

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

[turbid maple]

If you say check if you beat a boss blind I will throw Cryptid Ruby Stake ™️ in your face

[sonic cedar]

ow
right in the ruby stakes

[turbid maple]

I'd like to deal with the possibility of a single ante containing multiple boss blinds

[sonic cedar]

containing what

[karmic sand]

how would you detect the consumable being in the consumable slot? sorry if that's a dumb question

still tryna wrap my head around consumables

[sturdy compass]

You might honestly have to patch in your own context in that case

[paper zealot]

Not in that way. The "simplest" way might be to use a different {V:} for each entry:
https://github.com/Breezebuilder/Steamodded-Wiki/wiki/Text-Styling#variablecustom-text-colour-modifier-v
So define a table to contain the colours:

local rank_colours = {
  G.C.FILTER, -- A
  G.C.FILTER, -- 2
  G.C.FILTER, -- 3
  G.C.FILTER, -- 4
  G.C.FILTER, -- 5
  G.C.FILTER, -- 6
  G.C.FILTER, -- 7
  G.C.FILTER, -- 8
  G.C.FILTER  -- 9
}
``` Then wherever you're tracking the previously-played ranks, also do something to the effect of
```lua
rank_colours[5] = G.C.GREEN
``` when scoring a 5, for example.
Then use
```lua
"{V:7}7{} {V:8}8{} {V:9}9{}",
"{V:4}4{} {V:5}5{} {V:6}6{}",
"{V:2}2{} {V:3}3{}",
"{V:1}A{}"
``` for the styling part of the localization string, and finally set
```lua
vars.colours = rank_colours
``` in the `loc_vars` function.
It's a pretty dumb solution, but it would work without requiring any major patches or changes

[turbid maple]

(insert gif of the emoji crying with two arms up exploding here)

[sturdy compass]

This might be close enough:

[turbid maple]

how's this not a thing in smods yet i'm sending a pr

[sturdy compass]

That would be quite nice tbh

[sonic cedar]

gee i wonder

[paper zealot]

Wording things is hard sometimes usually always

[unborn bay]

if youre talking multi phase boss blinds then you can do that with just a few hooks

[violet gulch]

The essay was for me lol, thank you. On first glance, I don't understand what you're saying, but I will read through it and come back with questions if I can't figure it out.

[sonic cedar]

fair

[unborn bay]

for multiple blinds in an ante well yeah that requires a lovely patch

[sonic cedar]

this is your fault

[turbid maple]

no im talking crap like this

[sturdy compass]

Pretty sure this is the case

[unborn bay]

oh that

[sturdy compass]

I tried

[sonic cedar]

custom context it is

[turbid maple]

so all this time campfire was getting fucked over by ruby stake?

😔

[sturdy compass]

Since I just marked all my global vars with the mxms prefix I should do that with my contexts too huh

[sonic cedar]

oh god should I do that

why did it take this long

[sturdy compass]

The horrors

[sonic cedar]

I have

So many

[sturdy compass]

What have we become

[sonic cedar]

[turbid maple]

you don't put your global things in a table?

[sturdy compass]

I think I have like
Two

Maybe three

[sonic cedar]

Im so glad I have Find and Replace

[pulsar furnace]

whats that mod?

[normal crest]

joker display

[sonic cedar]

joker display

[pulsar furnace]

thanks

[normal crest]

yw

[sonic cedar]

Np

internet can we have a word

[sonic cedar]

granted

[modern kindle]

at random i will start eating your files

[sonic cedar]

I think I’d actually cry

[modern kindle]

just do what i do and push everything to git whenever i do some form of significant change

then you can let everyone eat your files

what you thinkin for something

[mild olive]

is there a way to make my card destroy a random card from my deck when a round starts

[sonic cedar]

oh my god Chud

[mild olive]

erm

[sonic cedar]

something something using pseudorandom to select a card and remove it from your full deck in the form of a table under the setting_blind context

probably

[mild olive]

great at least i know thats possible to do

[modern kindle]

why you calling for something twice

gosh

leave hte guy alone

[violet gulch]

Disregard the "A", I've got something screwy, but yes, that is perfect!

Now to make the joker actually function 🤣

Thank you for the help Breeze, very much appreciated!

[sonic cedar]

nvm it's actually the easiest thing ever

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[pulsar furnace]

it doesn't work (I don't know why)

[karmic sand]

I'm working on logic for a consumable that when you have it takes up 2 slots so like lowers slot count by 1 but I can't quite work out how to detect when the card is in your consumables to execute the slot decrease

[sonic cedar]

did you try getting rid of the and

[pulsar furnace]

why?

[hybrid shadow]

oh fuck do i need to do this for custom colors

[sonic cedar]

I did just in case but probably not

[sonic cedar]

no like the whole and bit

Like so it’s just context.before

[wheat jewel]

Ok so i applied a patch to allow for creating a blind's skip tag but now it causes a crash now and i don't know how to fix it

[pulsar furnace]

works, thanks

[wheat jewel]

bumping this

[subtle merlin]

Where would i put this in the consumable's code?

[daring fern]

In the use function.

[wheat jewel]

Tried this but i'm still getting crashes, can anyone help me with this

[paper zealot]

You might just need to add a null check before running add_tag to ensure that sizimod_skip_tag has been set first

[wheat jewel]

ohh i see

like see if the skip_tag variable in my patch is not null?

[faint yacht]

nil, rather.

[wheat jewel]

don't know if this will work but i'll see

oh wait

this ain't java my bad

[mild olive]

imma be honest i have no idea what to add here

[wheat jewel]

Nvm it still got a crash

whoops

[faint yacht]

the end closing if context.setting_blind then shouldn't have the ,.

[mild olive]

whoops

[wheat jewel]

don't know what's causing a nil value

[paper zealot]

You can check exactly what line is throwing the error if you check your tag.lua file in %AppData%/Balatro/Mods/lovely/dump

[wild escarp]

Is there a way to make a card cost $0? Setting cost to 0 leaves it as $1.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wheat jewel]

It looks like generate_Ui is what's causing the issue rn

[wild escarp]

Okay, but how?

[violet gulch]

Got it all working! Thanks again for the help tonight.

[paper zealot]

Sweet. Do you have a thread for your mod to keep up with it, or still in-progress?

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_cost()

[violet gulch]

Still in progress, Only been working on it since 6/6.

[wheat jewel]

Now comes the issue of knowing how to actually stop the error because that's something i have zero clue how to do

[violet gulch]

One thing I'd love to add now, is the shake like Loyalty card when its active. Gotta figure out how that part works.

[paper zealot]

Look into juice_card_until (which should be named juice_card_while based on how it's used)

[violet gulch]

Sweet, I'll dig into it.

[pulsar furnace]

how do i trigger an effect like in plasma deck when balancing chips?

[wheat jewel]

Yeah i'm completely stuck idk how to fix the error i'm getting from line 513

Dunno if it's something with my patch or not

[violet gulch]

That was way easier than I thought it'd be

[wheat jewel]

if anyone can help with my skip tag issue it'd help alot cuz i've been stuck on it for 2 hours now

[turbid maple]

Turns out I can check G.GAME.blind_on_deck

[wild escarp]

How do I check the id of a joker in the shop?

[sonic cedar]

how we looking

[sturdy compass]

Almost as good as if you remembered to return ret

[sonic cedar]

gdi

[sturdy compass]

lol

[sonic cedar]

now we're good?

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.dollars is a number, though? Or a table, in case of Talisman...

[sonic cedar]

i cant send the patchy gif but i can feel it

we DO IT ALL again then

wait i dont

know what to put there instead

shoot

[sturdy compass]

lmao

[paper zealot]

Don't let your dreams be dreams - you can redefine numbers as functions if you want to. What's the worst that could happen?

[sturdy compass]

truly

[sturdy compass]

This might be a descent into madness (average coding session)

[sonic cedar]

not even potatro will save my computer

[sonic cedar]

no i dont think it's descent at all actually

[sturdy compass]

typo

[sonic cedar]

typo

[sturdy compass]

lol

now your rebuttal doesn't make sense

[sonic cedar]

it’s not descent if I never rose

[sturdy compass]

[sonic cedar]

WHAT IF

i put the transformation

in an event

and then the event

will call the other three events

is that even how events work

why is my overrides file red

oh right

surely if i do this
eat
and come back
everything will work

(do not get me started on context.after just not existing i guess (different can, different joker))

[sturdy compass]

What if you put the comparison in the event too

[sonic cedar]

can you give me a mock-up my brain isn’t braining

[normal crest]

what is the goal

[sonic cedar]

literally i just want to call that function if you buy something while you’re at or under 0 dollars

[normal crest]

do everything inside the buying_card context?

[sonic cedar]

buying_card takes place before ease dollars is the thing

as I found out from Astra

[normal crest]

hmmm

what about if G.GAME.dollars - context.card.cost <= card.ability.extra.dollars

[sonic cedar]

funny story

#💻・modding-dev message

(It didnt work)

[normal crest]

What was the issue

[sonic cedar]

same as now

I can buy up to -20

But no matter how many things

Or what

The function won’t get called

[normal crest]

can you show me your code with this approach

[sturdy compass]

Something like this

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
   func = function()
      if to_big(G.GAME.dollars) >= to_big(card.ability.extra.dollars) then
         hpfx_Transform(card, context)
      end
      return true
   end
}))```

So that way it delays the comparison til after the dollars get eased (I think)

[sonic cedar]

uh huh

[sonic cedar]

Literally the same as

[sage crater]

what does to_big() do?

[sonic cedar]

But the conditional is different

[sturdy compass]

Talisman compatibility

[sonic cedar]

Talisman compatibility

[sturdy compass]

LMFAO

[sage crater]

fire responses

[sonic cedar]

LMAO

[sturdy compass]

brainwave dot gif

[sonic cedar]

mindwave even

[sturdy compass]

holy shid

[sonic cedar]

Heh

[normal crest]

well of course this doesn't work

you're defining a global variable func

not calling the function at all

[sturdy compass]

Holy shit 😭

[normal crest]

Also ease_dollars calls an event too, so this would still happen before I think

[sonic cedar]

almost sent a gif

I failed anyway

[sturdy compass]

Yeah I was worried about that

[normal crest]

do this with the condition including the cost of the bought card and remove the func stuff, just call the function

[sonic cedar]

me after pulling my hair out for an hour and a half seeing the solution is “global func dumbass”

[sturdy compass]

😭

Average coding session

[normal crest]

that's just life

[sonic cedar]

“You might just need to patch a custom context” GAAAAAAAAAH

[sturdy compass]

No thoughts behind those eyes

[paper zealot]

Auto-block anyone who uses the word "just", or starts a sentence with "i mean"

[normal crest]

I mean, just ignore them

[sturdy compass]

[modern kindle]

i mean, we're all just here to help

[sonic cedar]

That was Astra 😭

[plush vault]

If I wanted to add to this:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and then

that the card is a 7, would context.other_card.rank == 7 work for the logic check?

[modern kindle]

'just' is mentioned almost 30k times so hebetter block alot of mfs

[shell harness]

actually...

i think thats more than 30k

[sturdy compass]

No. You'd wanna check for context.other_card:get_id() == 7

[normal crest]

I mean, you just want context.other_card:get_id() == 7 instead

[plush vault]

Thank you :'>

[modern kindle]

i only checking in this channel sowwy

[sturdy compass]

Breeze boutta block you

[normal crest]

I mean, I was already under the impression that they just blocked me

[sturdy compass]

lmfao

[modern kindle]

dont worry breeze has used the word just several times anyway...

[sturdy compass]

breeze blocks himself

[modern kindle]

thats what im sayin

[sturdy compass]

[unborn bay]

this means breeze has to block- goddammit

[sturdy compass]

be faster haya smh

[modern kindle]

always be slower

[normal crest]

i vote line break at then

too wide

[sonic cedar]

this is my crashout

fuck the line break

[normal crest]

D:

[sonic cedar]

read it like an english paper

[paper zealot]

On second thoughts, this might not be the best policy

[sturdy compass]

LMFAOOOOOO

[sonic cedar]

what did i DO

[modern kindle]

you gotta do it man, its too late for you

[paper zealot]

Blocking myself now, goodbye chat

[normal crest]

o7

[modern kindle]

godspeed

[hybrid shadow]

damn

[sturdy compass]

ok but what if you shift + alt + F

[crisp coral]

i mean you don't have to block everyone just because the block function exists

[sonic cedar]

here's an idea

[sturdy compass]

[sonic cedar]

my side suddenly hurts for no particular reason
what could i possibly be giggling at

[sturdy compass]

[subtle merlin]

May i present to you all: the hardest to code joker I've ever made

[sturdy compass]

Incredible

[sonic cedar]

this would take me 4 hours so you're right

[plush vault]

I'm doing the thing, I'm nesting else if statements , you guys proud of me? 💖

[sonic cedar]

no

[sturdy compass]

[hybrid shadow]

what if all of our jokers were if statements

[plush vault]

: ^(

[sonic cedar]

if mult then win

yayyy

[normal crest]

i will turn all of your jokers into one liners

and make a PR to your mod

[hybrid shadow]

if SMODS then smods.joker =

[sonic cedar]

youre never gonna believe what im doing ri- NOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT A PR

[sturdy compass]

You can simply just
not pull the request

[sonic cedar]

if bala then only tro!

[normal crest]

if SMODS and SMODS.Joker then SMODS.Joker {} end

[sonic cedar]

principle

[normal crest]

oh and, if type(SMODS.Joker) == "function"

[hybrid shadow]

if not SMODS then SMODS.Joker{}

[manic rune]

waza

[normal crest]

hi bepis

[hybrid shadow]

me casually uncoding everyone's jokers by making every if statement false

[normal crest]

just put SMODS = nil in your mod

and priority = -99999999999

[hybrid shadow]

truth nuke

[sonic cedar]

hi bepis!!!!

[subtle merlin]

if true then
true = false

[sonic cedar]

are you happy now

[hybrid shadow]

dear god

[tough temple]

GHHGRRRR.. HIGH JOKER

[sonic cedar]

absolute evil

[normal crest]

i was not unhappy with how it was before

so i'm still happy

[sonic cedar]

i did it because i was unhappy

[hybrid shadow]

im updating my mod next april fools just to add this at the end of it

[sonic cedar]

now we are both happy

[normal crest]

yippie

[hybrid shadow]

if G.GAME then G.GAME = nil end

[normal crest]

syntax error

crash on startup

[hybrid shadow]

the MOASE

[tough temple]

would that even work

[normal crest]

yes that is valid code

bye bye g.game

[hybrid shadow]

the game just uninstalls itself

[hybrid shadow]

why did this make me laugh for like 2 whole minutes

[sonic cedar]

if Game.start_run then SMODS.restart_game()

false hope

[modern kindle]

dude i didnt even consider an april fools update

[subtle merlin]

"Uninstall Balatro with this ONE easy trick!"

[modern kindle]

im gonna april fools lock everyones collection again

[sonic cedar]

always consider an april fools update

[normal crest]

while true do SMODS.restart_game() end

[sonic cedar]

that's so much worse

[hybrid shadow]

dude im laughing so fucking much rn at this fucking code

[jagged kernel]

does anyone know how to get the player's current money? I've tried using dollars but it just crashes

[normal crest]

G.GAME.dollars

[jagged kernel]

thank you

[modern kindle]

peep my super complex edition

[sonic cedar]

where's the edition

[modern kindle]

thats the secret

[hybrid shadow]

that worked to get me to laugh again

[modern kindle]

the actual answer is that i handle its effect elsewhere because you cant get this inside of a shop, only from inside a specific joker

[sonic cedar]

joker inside me

[modern kindle]

😛

[gray quartz]

oooooh i have smt like that too

what does urs do

[hybrid shadow]

you gotta- [STATEMENT REDACTED]

[plush vault]

Will it run or will it crash, place your bets ladies, gentleman, gambler ladies and gambling addicts

[sonic cedar]

iOS version of this emoji needs to get locked up

[sonic cedar]

GAAAAAAAAH

[sturdy compass]

the freak

[modern kindle]

mine is for a fridge

after 5 rounds of a food item in the fridge the card becomes rotted
means it doubles the value of all jokers in the fridge and makes them negative

[plush vault]

It crashed on the very first line 💀

[modern kindle]

they are also doubled int he fridge normally, so in fridge cavendish is 6x mult, but once its rotted it -12x mult

[hybrid shadow]

why is there a red line

also

[gray quartz]

bro in february i made a fridge joker that triples the lifespan of all food jokers 💔

[sonic cedar]

do I post Chud again

[sturdy compass]

hyperfixation chud joker reference

[modern kindle]

yea mine doubles and makes them never get used up

[hybrid shadow]

do it

[plush vault]

Idk I dropped out of Video game design because of calculus and it has always been there in NetBeans

[gray quartz]

urs is good tho

[modern kindle]

:D

[gray quartz]

i got 2 editions in my mod im working on, one is charred and the other is quantum/superposition

[modern kindle]

nothing ever happens

x2 mult happens

:////

[hallow slate]

LOL

[sonic cedar]

you rn

[gray quartz]

charred you cant get from the store, whenver you destroy a card it has a chance to survive being destroyed and become "charred"

[modern kindle]

my biggest problem is shaders
figuring out those is a bitch

but ive got an enhancement in the works, and ill prob do more editions at some point

[hybrid shadow]

new roffle video
looks inside
hey guys

[modern kindle]

dude i dont even care for his content much cause its just not my style but hes all over my feed

[plush vault]

I LOVE ROFFLE I LOVE ROFFLE I WANT A JOKER THAT OPENS A TAB TO ROFFLE'S CHANNEL WHEN I CLICK IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[modern kindle]

i dont even watch balatro content

[gray quartz]

and quantum is diff for jokers and cards, jokers it creates a duplicate when you rearrange your jokers and on cards it either creates a copy to play or in your hand

[gray quartz]

book of shaders brother

bookofshaders.com or smt

and the online glsl editor

[sonic cedar]

guh

pocketing this

[hybrid shadow]

if not roffle then
return {
message = "youtube.com/[icantbefuckedtowritethis]"
}

[gray quartz]

glsl editor is live shader editing tool and bookofshaders is literally everything you can do w shaders

super goated

[modern kindle]

yea its just learning a whole new thing is alot of effort

[gray quartz]

true

it took me like 2 weeks and the shaders on the cards are still buns 💔

[wheat jewel]

Trying to make a joker destroy face cards at random but it keeps destorying other cards and even destroys cards held in hand

[hybrid shadow]

youre not pointing at a cardarea

the if statement needs a cardarea to work on only a specific area

[wheat jewel]

oh like this

[hybrid shadow]

yup

[normal crest]

context.destroy_card is called for each card individually

[wheat jewel]

my bad thanks

^^

[normal crest]

you don't need the for loop

[hybrid shadow]

np

[wheat jewel]

ohhh

[sonic cedar]

when are they releasing free loop

[hybrid shadow]

me wrapping all my free loops in for loop

[tough temple]

hey guys im using vscode

is there any extension to help with modding balatro

[clear yoke]

❌

well

[hybrid shadow]

lua extension

[clear yoke]

maybe

yeah

[tough temple]

saddening

i just started and i already know love2d and lua

[modern kindle]

i mean the lua extension is prob good to have

[tough temple]

just confused on how to get dropdowns

[sonic cedar]

balatro wise? God I wish

[wheat jewel]

would this work?

[tough temple]

cause like

[normal crest]

context.destroy_card is actually the card being destroyed

[sonic cedar]

smods has lsp definitions

[tough temple]

im tryna follow a tutorial to understand how its structured to begin with

[normal crest]

other_card doesn't exist here

[tough temple]

im pretty inexperienced with vscode

how would i get that

to work

[sturdy compass]

would probably want context.individual instead?

[normal crest]

not for destroying cards

[wheat jewel]

so should i do context.destory_card:is_face()?

[plush vault]

[SMODS _ "src/loader.lua"]:571: [SMODS destino_entropico "destino_entropico.lua"]:353: unexpected symbol near '}'

Why it crash in line 353 ;-;

*Code attached for review... and Line 353 is quite literally the last line 🥲

[weak gate]

what are the measurements in UI code? e.g. minw = 1, that's equivelent to the width of 1... what?

[normal crest]

yeah

[sturdy compass]

Probably a missing end

[plush vault]

if im nesting else if statements, do I need one at the end or one for each?

[sturdy compass]

waait you have literally no thens at the end of your conditionals

and it's elseif in lua, not else if

[plush vault]

Oh... I see

[sonic cedar]

Put this in a .luarc.json file

{
    "workspace.library": [
      "C:\\Users\\[PUT YOUR USER NAME HERE]\\AppData\\Roaming\\Balatro\\Mods\\Steamodded\\lsp_def\\folder",
    ],
    "diagnostics.disable": [
        "undefined-global",
        "lowercase-global",
        "need-check-nil",
        "duplicate-set-field",
        "inject-field",
        "undefined-field"
    ],
    "runtime.version": "LuaJIT",
    "type.weakUnionCheck": true,
    "type.weakNilCheck": true
}

[subtle merlin]

How would i get the amount of chips that will be scored this hand?

[tough temple]

aight

where exactly is this luarc.json file? 🙏

[sonic cedar]

you make it

[tough temple]

inside my mod?

[sonic cedar]

ye

[tough temple]

aight

i assume i should replace steamodded with smods-main

[sturdy compass]

Make sure smods-main isn't nested

[tough temple]

it aint dont worry

i already solved that problem

after 30 minutes of being very stupid

[sturdy compass]

also renaming the folder simply 'smods' is pretty standard

[tough temple]

yeah aight

ok so i put a "luarc.json" file inside my mod

and pasted that code in with some adjustments

my user+smods-main

now what?

[sonic cedar]

".luarc" not "luarc"

[tough temple]

oh thought that was a typo

ok NOW what

[sonic cedar]

that should be it just refresh

[tough temple]

aight

i assume this means it works

[sonic cedar]

capital c

[tough temple]

ok 😢

[sonic cedar]

oml this made me look at mine no WONDER mine arent working im still linked to the og instead of my instance

[sonic cedar]

ur probably fine

[gray quartz]

sigma

[tough temple]

thanks for the help
