-# like this perhaps

Thank you very much

[gentle rain]

[daring fern]

It seems to have something to do with the recursive_extra function, I also tried using the new SMODS.merge_effects but that didn't change anything.

[subtle merlin]

I cant help with the latter, but the first issue is bc you have no text to display, so it defaults to ERROR

[paper zealot]

Looking at SMODS.Booster, looks like you haven't defined the group_name string. You can do this either in a localization file or in loc_vars, though the localization file is the better way to do it

[gentle rain]

i have this

ignore the first 3

[daring fern]

So it must be something wrong with the table being inputted because the function works fine in seals or elsewise.

[gentle rain]

do you have an example in-code? im not completely sure what the localization is trying to imply

[daring fern]

Are there problems with this?:

[paper zealot]

The main focus is just that the key needs to be in misc.dictionary instead of misc.v_dictionary. I think moving the lootpack keys there should work

[old epoch]

I'm trying to play a sound, but each time it tries to play the game crashes saying it couldn't find the file. Can anyone help?

play_sound('Bonk!', 0.96 + math.random() * 0.08)

[red flower]

are you using copy_table at any point? i dont see why it would hard crash

[gentle rain]

that did work, thank you

[paper zealot]

Oh, and the background colour issue is just a typo -- needs to be ease_background_colour instead of ease_background_color

[gentle rain]

lol right

curse those pesky canadians...

[daring fern]

I don't think so.

The only reference of it in my code is commented out.

[red flower]

hmmm weird

[gentle rain]

im sniling

[red flower]

the only think i can imagine is that it's trying to do something recursively and causing a stack overflow but idk what

[daring fern]

Emptying the table doesn't do anything but setting the table to {} fixes it?

[sturdy compass]

Isaac

[red flower]

when you use SMODS.merge_effects, how are you calling it

[burnt apex]

My partner (whose much better at coding than me) has tried to help me with setting up a joker, but it isn't triggering in game, any idea whats wrong?

[daring fern]

SMODS.merge_effects(extraseals) extraseals being the table with the effects in it.

It happens with my original recursive extra function aswell.

[red flower]

extraseals is an array of the return tables right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[red flower]

weird

if you use a fake

return { extra = { extra = { mult = 1 } } }

does it crash

[daring fern]

No, because I'm pretty sure it's crashing at the line of SMODS.merge_effects because it prints things before it but not after it.

[red flower]

sorry for making a broken function 😭

[modern kindle]

do better

[red flower]

the only thing i can think of is that one of the tables has a reference to the other tables

[faint urchin]

I'm trying to make a challenge that bans every card except for one but this code doesn't ban any modded jokers, am i doing this completely wrong or do i just need to make a slight change

local banned_jokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
    if v.key ~= "j_ckl_darren" then
        table.insert(banned_jokers, {id = v.key})
    end
end
SMODS.Challenge({
    loc_txt = {name = "Where More Good Things Happen"},
    key = "ckl_wmgth",
    rules = {
    },
    restrictions = {
        banned_cards = banned_jokers,
    },
    unlocked = true,
})

[red flower]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS might not have modded jokers until the game finishes loading

so probably it won't work this way

[faint urchin]

is there a different way to do it

[red flower]

uhh not sure

[median grove]

does anyone know how to use the resize.py script?

[paper zealot]

Install python, then run py resize.py <your file to resize> in the command line

[subtle merlin]

How do i apply a seal to a card? Is it the same as applying a sticker?

[daring fern]

card:set_seal("modprefix_key")

[subtle merlin]

Ty!

[old epoch]

I'm trying to play a sound, but each time it tries to play it, the game crashes saying it couldn't find the file.
Code:

play_sound('Bonk!', 0.96 + math.random() * 0.08)

[daring fern]

You need your mod prefix.

[old epoch]

ah

would i put it before the file name?

[burnt apex]

bump

[daring fern]

No, you would do play_sound('modprefix_Bonk!', 0.96 + math.random() * 0.08)

[old epoch]

oh ok

let me run that real quick

[hazy cosmos]

Is there some kinda program that makes making a mod for Balatro easier? Almost like MCreator for Minecraft, but for Balatro? Ive had a few others tell me there arent but I figured I'd see if anyone knew anything

[daring fern]

No.

[hazy cosmos]

Dang alr, thanks!

[old epoch]

It still crashes and says that theres no file

[daring fern]

Show your sound definition.

[old epoch]

What does that mean again?

[daring fern]

The SMODS.Sound?

[old epoch]

oh

lemme find it real quick

SMODS.Sound({key = "Bonk!", path = "Bonk!.ogg",})

[scenic steeple]

so, this is doing everything I need it too except for 1 thing, it's not actually giving $2 when an ace or 8 is played, so uhm please help I beg

[daring fern]

Does Bonk!.ogg exist in assets/sounds?

[old epoch]

I put it in the wrong folder

Thanks for helping though

[exotic imp]

is there a way to make a joker always have eternal?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[exotic imp]

how

[daring fern]

set_ability = function(self, card, initial, delay_sprites) card:set_eternal(true) end

[exotic imp]

thank you

[burnt apex]

Any idea what is wrong here? No errors or crashes but the joker just never triggers

[daring fern]

card would be the joker and even so .base.id would be a number also please use pseudorandom

[violet gulch]

Am I crazy, or isn't "card" in that instance also the Joker itself?

[burnt apex]

The code was primarily put together by my partner who hasn't played balatro yet but knows lua and coding a lot better than me

[violet gulch]

This is how I check and calculate for Queens of Hearts for example

[burnt apex]

with some reading of the Smodded wiki

[normal crest]

not enough reading 😔

i assume your goal is to turn all jacks and kings into queens?

or a 1 in 4 chance to do so

[pure salmon]

you can access a card when it is scored by accessing context.other_card in context.individual

[violet gulch]

Preface all this with, I'm still relatively new at this myself. I think within the calculate function you're going to want to check and work within the "context.individual" and use "context.other_card". context.other_card:get_id() of 11 or 13 should be a jack or king.

[pure salmon]

yeah

[violet gulch]

And then because this is a seeded game, and you want it to remain deterministic, while appearing random, you'll want to use "pseudorandom" instead of lua's math.random

[burnt apex]

Oki thanks for the help

[hasty mist]

I know why this doesn't work, UIT has to be something else instead of 1, game.lua apparently has a table somewhere of valid ui types, but i cannot find it

[burnt apex]

Where in the wiki can i read more on using this? :3

[violet gulch]

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

[burnt apex]

thx

Ok so the code to check if the scoring card is a king/jack would be this?:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
other_card:get_id() == 12 or
other_card:get_id() == 13 then
return
followed by my return to mess with stuff?

[daring fern]

No, it would be context.other_card instead of other_card

[burnt apex]

Ok

[violet gulch]

id=12 is Queens as well. id=11 should be jacks

[burnt apex]

Oh right forgot the scaling for the cards lol

[hasty mist]

bump

[normal crest]

globals.lua

[burnt apex]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if context.other.card:get_id() == 11 or
context.other.card:get_id() == 13 then
return {assert(change_base(card, nil, 12))

        }

ok this is what i have, when the joker should have triggered i was given an "attempt to index field 'other' [a nil value]" crash

[normal crest]

you put other.card instead of other_card

[burnt apex]

im blind thank you

where can i read in the wiki about the syntax for change_base

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[burnt apex]

Thank you

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
if context.other_card:get_id() == 11 or
context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
return {assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, 'Ace'))

Currently have the card its meant to become set to ace since that is what the example has, even if its 'Queen' iIget "tried to call SMODS.change_base with invalid arguments suit="nil" , rank="Ace" (or rank="Queen")"

-# also sorry if me asking for so much help is annoying

[daring fern]

Move the function out of the return.

[normal crest]

you want to do SMODS.change_base(context.other_card, nil, "Ace")

[burnt apex]

Ok sweet it worked!

Is it possible to have it do the flip animation similar to how death works and or a custom animation, before the cards are discarded?

[modern kindle]

you can probably do card:flip()

[burnt apex]

Where do i implement that in the code :?

[exotic imp]

how do i make it so that my joker can't show up more times with showman?

[daring fern]

You would hook SMODS.showman

[sturdy compass]

Incorrect

You'd do it via an in_pool function

[daring fern]

No, they want it to not show up more than once even with showman.

[sturdy compass]

Ah

Read it wrong myb

Well you still wouldn't need a hook, you could still use in_pool

[red flower]

let's goo

[whole lava]

how can i make the held in hand card give more chips when played next time for every destroyed card?

[sonic cedar]

how to add a joker to your jokers with the console?

[red flower]

eval SMODS.add_card{key = "key"}

[exotic imp]

would I just do SMODS.Showman = false or what?

[red flower]

i would recommend the in_pool method too personally

in_pool = function(self, args)
    return not next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))
end

the other method is

local smods_showman_ref = SMODS.showman
function SMODS.showman(card_key)
      if card_key == "j_modprefix_key" then
          return false
     end
     return smods_showman_ref(card_key)
end

you don't need to check in this one actually

like that

[exotic imp]

I see why you recommend the in_pool method

[sonic cedar]

had a crash involving this function in card.lua
any idea what it's for?

(line 242 being for key, _ in pairs(self.T) do)

[red flower]

iirc it sets the size of the card correctly when setting the ability to a different one

like from wee joker to another

[sonic cedar]

huh...

well in terms of set_ability (this is the fodder joker for ijiraq transformations i was talking about) i have this?

which is within its function of course

[red flower]

i feel like that has some extra stuff that's not needed like the set_sprites or card.config.center

[sonic cedar]

granted this hasnt been worked on in a while
smods has been through some huge updates since

[red flower]

card:set_ability(exceptions[...] or jkey or "j_joker", true) should work

(obviously abbreviated)

[sonic cedar]

settign that up

one issue

[red flower]

that was also abbreviated

[sonic cedar]

i see

fixing

i'll see if it crashes
for some reason it still uses the regular sprites though???

[red flower]

that's weird, you shouldn't need to use set_sprites

[exotic imp]

what would be the code to give the strength tarot card?

[red flower]

maybe you do inside set_ability

[sonic cedar]

it has patches, maybe one of these isnt working?

[red flower]

hmm i would try adding back set_sprites

[sonic cedar]

on it

now what do i put in it is the question

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{key="c_strength"}

[exotic imp]

thank you

[sonic cedar]

strenght....

[red flower]

same thing it had probably

[sonic cedar]

k

[red flower]

did i spell it wrong

[sonic cedar]

n

[red flower]

fixed :3

[sonic cedar]

teehee

one more check before i test

actually that true wasnt there

alr here's hoping

yeah no that's regular supernova

[exotic imp]

did you spelling it wrong and me copying it cause this?

[sonic cedar]

yes /gen

[sonic cedar]

still crashed on ability usage (in this case scoring)

[final jewel]

How am I supposed to link my localization for my Joker's text (I know I already have text in my joker but I want to remove it) ? I know its a dumb question.

[sonic cedar]

just remove the loc_txt

[final jewel]

yeah but it doesn't work

It shows nothing

[red flower]

idk then :3

does it crash without the set_sprites

[sonic cedar]

gonna find out

[sonic cedar]

is your localization file in a localization folder

[final jewel]

yeah like in my screen shot

[red flower]

descriptions

[sonic cedar]

cooked me ngl

[rapid stag]

what's the mod that shows the joker values in a box beneath the joker

[red flower]

JokerDisplay!

[sonic cedar]

jokerdisplay

I wonder who made that

[rapid stag]

[exotic imp]

I think it looped a few times (ignore the fact of the description being written wrong) any ideas why? this is my code

[red flower]

i promise this is relevant to your question: do you have a link to/use vanillaremade

[exotic imp]

yes

[red flower]

ctrl+f end_of_round there

there should be a couple more checks you need to make

[final jewel]

omg it was only that, big thanks

[exotic imp]

did I need to add the and context.cardarea == G.jokers?

[red flower]

no

i didn't want to type it but if you want me to 😭

[exotic imp]

which section, joker?

[red flower]

too late

if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval

[sonic cedar]

I just want it to have the ability of the joker and then transform when it’s triggered is that so much to ask

[red flower]

i think the problem might just be calling set_ability inside set_ability

[sonic cedar]

wait actually?

[errant fulcrum]

Im sure its obvious but why does this reset when a blind is selected?

    apply = function(self)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
        -- = -3,
        --G.GAME.current_round.discards_left = +3,
        ease_hands_played(-3)
        ease_discard(3)
        return true
    end
    }))
end

[red flower]

those functions only modify the current round hands and discards

[sonic cedar]

Do you see how it says current round

[red flower]

you need G.GAME.round_resets.hands/discards

[errant fulcrum]

Oh okay

[red flower]

you want both actually so they modify the value properly the first time

[frozen turret]

hello, i just got here an i need help. I wanted to make a mod to the base game where the only thing that changes is the names of items/jokers/poker hands/etc i thought this would be easy but i cant get it right can anyone help?

[burnt apex]

I probably won't be able to finish working on it tonight, if it isn't too much of a hassle can someone dm me the wiki links to the documentation on pseudorandom and how to use card:flip?

[red flower]

this is a texture mod that changes text
you only need a main mod file and a localization folder
https://github.com/xssgm/Touhou-Balatro-texture-pack/tree/main

[red flower]

neither exists

[burnt apex]

Ah

That feels a bit short sighted, at least for pseudorandom.

Any tips on how to use them?

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

for card:flip() you just do that and it flips the card

[burnt apex]

Where should I place it code wise so it triggers after scoring but before the cards are discarded?

[red flower]

uhhh maybe an event in final_scoring_step? im not sure

[frozen turret]

looking at this i want to made something similar to the default.lua folder under localization, is there a way to find a document like this with the original game's text, not the already modded text

[red flower]

unzip the game's exe

[frozen turret]

can i do that on mac?

[burnt apex]

The order of actions for my joker would be

Score king(s)/jack(s)
Chance Trigger Calico
Flip and flip back to show that they are now queens
Discard played hand

[red flower]

or use vanillaremade for english maybe

[red flower]

no idea

[burnt apex]

There's instructions on how in the modding resources part of the steammodded gitgub

For mac

[frozen turret]

i saw that but none of it applies to text modding

[burnt apex]

Ah

[frozen turret]

like theres stuff on how to make the balatro text and font but not how to change names of things in game

[burnt apex]

I think I saw a video on just renaming things but not sure if it would work for Mac

[tall wharf]

do it with .app file

[red flower]

thank you aiko

[tall wharf]

"Show Package Contents"

[frozen turret]

i got there but is it under framework?

[tall wharf]

Steam version right

[frozen turret]

i have steam version, yes

[frozen turret]

never seen a .love file before

[tall wharf]

it's inside balatro.love

[red flower]

i have never seen love before

[frozen turret]

how do i even open that?

[tall wharf]

copy it out of the app

and rename the end to .zip

then extract it

[frozen turret]

so like copy and paste it onto desktop

[crisp coral]

mood

[frozen turret]

ok im here with it

sorry i need a bit of hand holding, ive never done anything like this

[red flower]

you need the localization folder from there

[frozen turret]

id.lua?

[red flower]

the one for the language you want

[sonic cedar]

after extensive research i have 3 notes

1. the costume appears with the sticker while in the shop, which gives it away that it’s fake
2. if the joker doesn’t do anything scoring wise then it’ll trigger like normal, but the transformation won’t trigger
3. How do I fix what you mentioned here?

[frozen turret]

wait its languages 💀

[shell kite]

How do I generate a planet card of the last played hand type with a joker?

[red flower]

no idea how to fix that honestly, seems complicated

[sonic cedar]

It is <3333 might just release without the engine <3333

[frozen turret]

ok so what program edits .lua files?

[unkempt rover]

Can someone help me? I want to know what splash does in the game code. I've tried to look everywhere but I can't find it. I want to create a seal so that the card that has this seal is always scored, but I don't know how to make this seal because I don't know what splash does for the card to always be scored.

I hope you understood what I meant

[shell kite]

Thanks

[paper zealot]

VSCode is good in my opinion, though I don't know if there's a more commonly-used code editor for MacOS
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac
And the Lua extension is very helpful

[rugged pier]

i love how you can just send vanillaremade

for a bunch of the questions now

[red flower]

that's why i made it :3

[rugged pier]

very cool repo

thank you for making it

[tall wharf]

back in my day we didn't have vanilla remade

[frozen turret]

thank you so much :3

[tall wharf]

you had to manually ask it to show mult message

[red flower]

back in the day we had card = self

[rugged pier]

can confirm

[chrome widget]

I have a blind that I have no idea if I can implement

The concept is that Scaling Jokers scale in reverse... but the infrastructure required to do that and make it not be jank might be too much

[crisp coral]

back in my day we didn't have smods.joker

[chrome widget]

I wonder if there's some really lower-level Lua thing I could take advantage of to know when a value on a table has changed?

[crisp coral]

pro tip: do not be like cryptid and do jank for scaling jokers detection

[chrome widget]

Why what's Cryptid 's jank for it

For a friend

[crisp coral]

there are a lot of values that can change while not necessarily being scaling

[chrome widget]

I know, yeah, that's what I'm concerned about

[crisp coral]

look at double scale or something

[chrome widget]

All of my jokers are very specific about it

[rugged pier]

You could temporarily change mult mod values and store original values to restore after blind is over

[paper zealot]

Metatables! https://www.lua.org/pil/13.4.4.html

[chrome widget]

I don't put scaling values anywhere but in the extra table, but I can't expect everyone to use the same paradigm

[rugged pier]

For example^

[chrome widget]

Oh!!!

[rugged pier]

Hmm yeah fair

[subtle merlin]

Apparently im a better coder tired than awake because ive figured this out on very little sleep but now i just cant? Why does it just crash on use?

[chrome widget]

Hmm yeah if I can take advantage of this, I could definitely do something more along the lines of "scaling jokers don't scale"

Because it's more reasonably to just expect to prevent values in card.ability or card.ability.extra from changing, rather than interpreting what changes mean

I don't know how many effects that might prevent that aren't necessarily scaling though

Often a major consideration for mod compatibility isn't "how would this work in a best case scenario" and more "what's the most generalized way to do this to account for code potentially being written in an suboptimal way"

[crisp coral]

what line is crashing

[subtle merlin]

That's the thing, i can't tell, it says line 205 but its in a completely different file

[crisp coral]

💥

[rugged pier]

I don’t think it’d be very different from scaling in reverse (for implementation purposes)

Scaling jokers would need

1. Total value
2. Value change

I’d assume you make the effect of “scaling jokers” do not scale by crawling through the extra table and changing non scoring or non money values to zero, you could do the same by just making it negative right?

If you just make all numbers zero then it would remove 1. Total value as well

[chrome widget]

No it's more like id intercept the changes and revert any changed values back to what they were at the start

[rugged pier]

Hmm

[chrome widget]

Because setting them to 0 requires more assumption (I think) about what values mean

[rugged pier]

Easiest way is to do a temporary debuff?

[chrome widget]

Hmm

Well... arguably yeah

[rugged pier]

But idk how to differentiate between scaling and giving the ability

[chrome widget]

Yeah it would also debuff certain other jokers

[rugged pier]

Also scaling jokers that score at the same time

[chrome widget]

It's a tricky problem but not impossible. If it means learning more about metatables though, it'll be a fun challenge!!

[rugged pier]

Like split pants

[rugged pier]

Ping me if you figure this out, I’m interested as well now

[chrome widget]

I'm familiar with something similar because at my old job, we used a ReactJS UI, which typically has a paradigm that it doesn't update the UI until any value has changed and tracks changes to those values

[rugged pier]

:o

[chrome widget]

For performance reasons but also it's useful to the developer to know when the UI receives an update rather than it just being continuous

[shell kite]

How does tags generation works?
I want to generate a tag randomly

[unkempt rover]

My seal doesn't work

[tall wharf]

what is the seal supposed to do

[unkempt rover]

apply the splash effect but for that specific card

[tall wharf]

why exactly does it not work

[unkempt rover]

I play the card (with the seal) with, for example, a pair, and it doesn't count together, but it was supposed to count

[tall wharf]

a what

[unkempt rover]

?

[unkempt rover]

Basically, the card with the seal scores points even if it is not to score in the poker hand played.

[dense wedge]

I want to create a modded joker that creates one red-seal steel king every round, how would I go about doing this?

[tidal dust]

dw im @dense wedge mate

[subtle merlin]

How would i get the direction that a card is facing?

[unkempt rover]

Someone help me

[scarlet spire]

what about it doesn't work

[vague crest]

is there a readily available database with all the code names for like, money colored text, mult text, and all that fun stuff in joker descriptions?

[subtle merlin]

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

[vague crest]

YAYY ty

[subtle merlin]

We really should get someone to pin the wiki here, or maybe that mod starter pack thing that was mentioned this morning

[vague crest]

might be my fav joker art ive drawn

i drew a bunch for femto labs collection too but i think i have a much better grasp on pixel art now

[sturdy compass]

Is this a reference to MTX Whales?

Absolute banger of a card art btw

[vague crest]

not a reference to anything specific just found a really cool photo i liked alongside some others looking for whales

[sturdy compass]

I meant the functionality but that's still neat

[vague crest]

ohhh no not sure what that is 🙏

[sturdy compass]

Like a Microtransaction Whale lol

[vague crest]

ohhhh i see

in my head the cards are little plankton

in a way we are all the whale

[subtle merlin]

I feel like this is a very simple thing that i should know by now

[unkempt rover]

The card with the seal was supposed to be scored in any hand played but it is not

[native zinc]

how can i tell if you're in the big blind shop

G.GAME.blind:get_type() == "Big" doesn't work in shops

i could store the last blind but i'd like to know if there's something better for this

[peak tiger]

How would one increase/set the money per remaining discard stat?

[umbral zodiac]

change G.GAME.modifiers.money_per_discard

does anyone know if theres some super awesome and efficient way to check both

1. if the player's deck contains a specific hand
2. and get the bare minimum cards that make up that hand

[native zinc]

ouch

[umbral zodiac]

yea i had a funny idea for a deck that always makes you draw the hand with the highest score that's also in your deck

[native zinc]

oucher

[umbral zodiac]

i have ideas but i feel liek all of them would cause exponential amounts of comparisons/checks if you got more cards

[sturdy compass]

[frozen turret]

how do i get the mod i made to show up here?

[native zinc]

okay minimum case -- straights only, get_straight() checks

get_straight() is really slow function wise

52 choose 5 is 2598960

[umbral zodiac]

actually

do you know what function is used to get whatever hand is being selected by your current cards

i could just guess based on what happens if you """select""" all of your cards and then get a valid list of cards which applies to that hand

[native zinc]

G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)

[umbral zodiac]

hell yea thanks

[chrome widget]

I actually had to do this specifically for myself, hold on

    -- boss blind shop
elseif G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Small == 'Defeated' and G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Big == 'Upcoming' then
    -- small blind shop
elseif G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Big == 'Defeated' and G.GAME.round_resets.blind_states.Boss == 'Upcoming' then
    -- big blind shop
end```

[native zinc]

very useful

ive already installed pillow for resize.py but im getting this message from the script

C:\Users\philippe\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods\PhilsAwesomeMod\assets\1x>py resize.py Jokers.png
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\philippe\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods\PhilsAwesomeMod\assets\1x\resize.py", line 2, in <module>

[umbral zodiac]

have made some progress
i have a functioon now that looks through your whole deck and draws a specified hand (if possible)

[paper zealot]

It's possible that you have multiple python installs, have installed Pillow in one, but are running with a different install.
Could you check the contents of %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python ?

It's also not absolutely necessary to use resize.py, and it's almost definitely easier to resize it with a proper image editor like GIMP or Paint.NET or Krita. Just make sure you resize with "Nearest Neighbor" or No filtering" and they'll look fine

[umbral zodiac]

how could you make a card draw first priority? i have this code that i feel like, should work, but when i eval it it never draws the list of cards first (regardless of when i run it)

[native zinc]

card draw first is decently difficult

[umbral zodiac]

cryptid code is MOCKING me with this

[sturdy compass]

Cryptid code is stinky to reference

[umbral zodiac]

tbf theyre one of the few mods i know does draw priority

also my mod is a cryptid addon so i am inclined to look there first

[sturdy compass]

Unfortunate

[frozen turret]

ok so i have an init.lua file that changes the text of items but when the mod is launched, the regular game text appears to overwrite my modded text

theres still something slightly off

also chatGPT has no clue what the fuck is going on either so it cant help me

[sturdy compass]

Using CGPT will never work for this

[frozen turret]

i know this

[frozen turret]

I did it! I figured it out with no help

[tight notch]

how would I make a boss blind check for a specific joker?

would this work?

[hexed stump]

iirc if you're looking for cards that stay flipped between zones (like from wheel), you'll want .ability.wheel_flipped I think

I'd need to check my code though

[tight notch]

tested, it does not

[umbral zodiac]

you can just do:
#SMODS.find_card("j_modID_key") > 0

skips the effort of having to do it yourself

[subtle merlin]

I already solved it awhile ago, ty tho!

[hexed stump]

np

jusst saw it and was like oh shit I struggled figuring that out

[tight notch]

ok how do I force a loss

[runic jay]

How does one make it so a joker shows two messages? I currently have message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }, and message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } }, but only the chips message shows up

[wintry solar]

Is there a reason you’re not using the default messages?

[whole lava]

how can i get cards in hand?

[subtle merlin]

like forcibly draw a card or...?

[whole lava]

i want to make all card held in hand get an enhancement

[subtle merlin]

G.hand are the cards in hand

[wintry solar]

G.hand.cards

[whole lava]

ok thanks

[glass scaffold]

You need a mod_data.json file in your mod.

[runic jay]

Default messages?

[wintry solar]

Yeah, calculation has default messages so you don’t need to add them yourself, you just need to use the correct keys

[runic jay]

Tell me more, because this is something I don't really understand as I'm new to making Balatro mods

[wintry solar]

I’d recommend looking at the calculation guide on the smods wiki

[whole lava]

you mean this?

[runic jay]

I honestly can't find anything that would work

[robust falcon]

Can you access the hand_chips and mult after a hand is played from a joker?

[frozen turret]

the entire mod is functional, thanks tho

[glass scaffold]

Mod getting detected now?

[wintry solar]

Can you show the entire return block?

[faint yacht]

...what would be the return for the context.check_enhancement? 🤔

[wintry solar]

key_of_enhancement = true

[snow vale]

how can i level up a poker hand?

[robust falcon]

In the calculate function, return { level_up = true }

[snow vale]

ok

[snow vale]

but how do i level up an specific one?

[wintry solar]

Add level_up_hand = "handname"

[glass scaffold]

level_up_hand(card, 'HAND_TYPE', instant, AMOUNT_OF_LEVELS)

[compact valve]

hello, I've been looking into modding balatro with no prior experience. found out about steammodded, examplemod, and the basic process of setting up a joker, but where do I go to figure out implementing specific effects, say a joker that scales mult for played stone cards?

[snow vale]

how can i retrigger first scoring card? ik how to retrigger every scoring card, but not the first one specifically

[primal terrace]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L593 Refer to how Hanging Chad does it

It only retriggers context.scoring_hand[1], which is the first card in the played hand

[snow vale]

ok

[runic jay]

Sorry it took so long, I was doing something, but here it is return { mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult, chip_mod = card.ability.extra.chips, message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }, message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } }

[robust falcon]

Is this not possible?

[snow vale]

wait what??

main problem is that i cant know what's the problem

[turbid igloo]

is there a way to make a joker disappear like the gros michel?

[north lodge]

Are you trying to have it make itself disappear and remove itself?

[turbid igloo]

is there a difference?

[north lodge]

I'm just asking exactly what you're trying to achieve

[turbid igloo]

no i just dont know the difference, can you explain it?

[north lodge]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/632276e2639258992543a1754bf1f55cbb5de550/src/jokers.lua#L897

This is Gros Michel remade with SMODS, I would highly suggest looking through its source to understand what you're trying to achieve.

[turbid igloo]

okok i understand

so extinct you cant find it in the shop anymore

[wintry solar]

Yeah just use mult = number and chips = number

[turbid igloo]

but what if i whant it just to remove itself?

want*

[runic jay]

What exactly should I replace with that?

[vale quarry]

Hey all, I started working on a seed finder software (heavily inspired by Immolate and The Soul but CPU-bound). I don't know if it is the right place to discuss that, but if you are interested, here is the link: https://github.com/izanagi1995/balatro-seed-finder. It was built with ease-of-use, performance, and custom filters in mind. At some point, I would like to use it at a high scale to index all Balatro seeds.

I would love any feedback, ideas, or contributions 😊

[wintry solar]

Everything in that return

[north lodge]

Is it just a better implementation of Immolate? I see it still uses the filters and is using immolate, is it easier to create filters or such or what

[vale quarry]

Immolate is GPU bound, and I wanted to build a solid implementation for the CPU as I work on Macs (no shaming please) 😅 Filters are roughly the same as in Immolate for now. At some point I may implement another method to write filters

[north lodge]

Aha I see! I didn't realize that immolate used the GPU. That makes sense!

[vale quarry]

I still get solid results even on the CPU, depending on the complexity of the filter, it can scan around 50M seeds per minute on my M2 Pro. I get results for any of the current filters in less than 2 minutes.

[north lodge]

And of note, just because it concerns another question I had been wondering about, there isn't a DLL involved here right? Just c/cpp code?

[snow vale]

how can i create a negative card?

[vale quarry]

Yep, just plain CPP. The filter choice is made with preprocessor macros

[vale quarry]

Here : https://github.com/izanagi1995/balatro-seed-finder/blob/main/immolate.cpp#L18C1-L22C7

[north lodge]

Card:set_edition({negative = true})
I think might be able to point you in the right direction?

[snow vale]

yeah but i have to create it

i thought something like this would work

[vale quarry]

@north lodge , don't hesitate to let me know if you give it a go !

[violet void]

If I remember correctly there was a "card_eval_status_text" in smods right? does anyone know which one it is

[robust falcon]

Wait nvm it is

[wintry solar]

That key is wrong regardless, but it would be edition = 'e_negative'

[snow vale]

oh

okk tysm

[robust falcon]

Is there a way to get the current blinds score?

[snow vale]

is there something wrong here?

[wintry solar]

Capital P

[snow vale]

epik

why isn't this working?

[wintry solar]

Because I here is a card object not a string

[snow vale]

oh

so how do i do it so it works?

[faint yacht]

i.config.center_key iirc?

[runic jay]

It didn't work, now it just does absolutely nothing

Like it doesn't even give the mult and chips now

[wintry solar]

what does the code look like now?

[runic jay]

return { mult = number, chips = number Like this

Here's a picture to make it more clear

[spice wadi]

Can you show the entire code

@runic jay

[wintry solar]

well you need to change the number

[manic rune]

replace number with your card.ability.extra stuff from before

[runic jay]

oh

I am an idiot it appears

yeah it works now

Just didn't think of changing the number to the number of the thing

[cobalt iron]

Is there a way to check how much mult there is while you are playing a hand?

[manic rune]

mult

its literally just mult btw

[rare torrent]

how can i change the main menu ace card and gradient? can't seem to find any doccumentation online

[spice wadi]

im not sure if this is helpful but the function for loading the main menu is Game.main_menu so you can hook that
and the card area for the cards there is G.title_top

[violet void]

Is there a better alternative to card_eval_status_text?

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "msg"}, card)

[violet void]

is this ok to use if I only intend to juice up the card with a text

[red flower]

wdym

[violet void]

I only need the card to to do that little shaking (like juice_up) and display a message, with no other effect

[red flower]

then yeah

[violet void]

ty

[rare torrent]

well it didn't really help that much, im new with balatro modding so i don't know basically everything😭 (just adding new jokers and stuff)

[daring fern]

‎

Also how would one have a card have multiple editions?

And multiple of all things that can't have multiple things?

[manic rune]

smtcom asking the real questions of the year

[faint yacht]

...quantum editions and quantum seals?

[ripe kestrel]

how can i make a new rarity?

[spice wadi]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity
probably this

[violet gulch]

So I'm trying to determine which cards in the played hand are unscored and feel I like it should be simpler than I'm making it. Currently my thinking is just compare the G.play.cards to context.scoring_hand and if G.play.cards[i].id doesnt exist in the scoring hand, that would be how I'd know its not scored. Not that that is terribly difficult, but before I do it, I'm just checking to make sure there isn't some scored flag on the individual cards that I'm missing.

[pure salmon]

is there any way i can check if the discarded hand contains another hand? i found G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted) in cryptid but it only seems to return the poker hand itself, i.e if i played a flush five it would only return 'Flush Five', whereas i would want a table like {'Flush Five', 'Five of a Kind', 'Four of a Kind', 'Flush', ...} etc.

[red flower]

the third return of that function is the poker hands but in the same format as context.poker_hands

[pure salmon]

context.cardarea == "unscored"

[violet gulch]

Thanks. I knew there had to be a simpler way. I struggle to find the stuff on the wiki

[pure salmon]

i don't blame you lol. the wiki is missing a lot at the moment

also, is there a context specifically for buying a booster pack? context.buying_card does not trigger on booster packs, and i also don't want a context that triggers when i, say, skip for a booster pack

[violet gulch]

so context.open_booster would be no good because it triggers on boosters from skips right?

[pure salmon]

yeah

[red flower]

there's not afaik

[pure salmon]

for a few cards where i'm using buying_card which includes shop cards and vouchers, but ideally i'd want them to trigger on any shop purchase

guess i'll probably have to patch that in

[violet gulch]

can you hook ease_dollars?

[pure salmon]

isn't ease_dollars also used in boss blinds like the ox?

[violet gulch]

local old_ease_dollars = ease_dollars function ease_dollars(mod,instant) local ret = old_ease_dollars(mod,instant) G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ trigger = 'immediate', func = function() SMODS.calculate_context({money_changed = true}) return true end })) return ret end

[red flower]

ease_dollars is used for any money manipulation so it's definitely not what you want

[pure salmon]

yeah i thought that

[violet gulch]

my current thought (sorta hacky) would be could do that, set a flag for money spent, then use the context.open_booster and check for that money spent flag

but depending on context triggering order, could fail I guess

[red flower]

i think just patching where boosters are bought is just easier

[pure salmon]

yeah i'll look into that

[violet gulch]

Probably right, listen to them

[tardy juniper]

how do i make a joker create a specific joker?

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{key = "j_modprefix_key"}

[tardy juniper]

okay, thanks :3

[violet gulch]

Back with the dumb questions. Within that context, is there a way to access the unscored cards? I'm looking for something similar to context.other_card in context.individual

[violet gulch]

I think I figured it out. Will report back.

[pure salmon]

oh

[rare torrent]

how can i make this trigger on a shop reroll? it's supossed to 2 the mult every reroll that there isn't a rare joker and reset if there is, but right now it's doing nothing

    local found_rare = false

    -- Assuming shop.jokers is the table with current jokers after reroll
    for _, joker in ipairs(shop.jokers or {}) do
        if joker.rarity and joker.rarity >= 3 then
            found_rare = true
            break
        end
    end

    if found_rare then
        self.ability.mult = 4
    else
        self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult * 2
    end

    self:juice_up()
end,```

[pure salmon]

i was about to say you can still use context.individual and context.other_card, just with an extra context.cardarea == "unscored" check

[pure salmon]

context.reroll_shop exists if that's what you're looking for

it's used in vanilla for flash card

[violet gulch]

I was trying to destroy cards anyway, so was using context.destroy_card which I realized was the card object. I said it was a dumb question. I'm not caffiened enough yet.

[pure salmon]

i have asked much stupider questions here lol you're good

[tardy juniper]

okay, so... how do rarities work? am i getting it right?

[rare torrent]

what like this? ```if waffle and context.reroll_shop then
local found_rare = false
for _, joker in ipairs(context.reroll_shop) do
if joker.rarity and joker.rarity >= 4 then
found_rare = true
break
end
end

if found_rare then
    waffle.ability.mult = 4
else
    waffle.ability.mult = (waffle.ability.mult or 4) * 2
end

waffle:juice_up()

end

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then
    return {
        mult = self.ability.mult or 4,  -- fallback to 4 if nil
        colour = G.C.WHITE,
        card = self
    }
    end
end,

}

it's crashing

[pure salmon]

context.reroll_shop only exists in the calculate function, move all the rare-finding logic into the calculate function

[stiff quiver]

whats the variable for the cards in the deck? lua for _,playing_card in ipairs(all cards in deck) do

[pure salmon]

G.playing_cards

do you mean in full deck or currently in the deck?

[stiff quiver]

full deck

[pure salmon]

G.playing_cards is correct

[stiff quiver]

thanks!

[copper thorn]

i need help, i wanna make a joker that works like blueprint but increases how many time it copies the joker each time a straight is played, how could i do it ?

[rare torrent]

ok i got something like this ```calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.reroll_shop and type(context.reroll_shop) == "table" then
local found_rare = false
for _, joker in ipairs(context.reroll_shop) do
if joker.rarity and joker.rarity >= 3 then
found_rare = true
break
end
end

    if found_rare then
        self.ability.mult = 4
    else
        self.ability.mult = (self.ability.mult or 4) * 2
    end

    self:juice_up()
end

if context.joker_main then
    return {
        mult = self.ability.mult or 4,
        colour = G.C.WHITE,
        card = self
    }
end

end,

[tardy juniper]

why does my rarity say error...?

im probably just missing something simple

[spice wadi]

Did you create localisation text for it?

[tardy juniper]

whats that...

[pure salmon]

the blueprint code starts at line 3831 in this file, by the looks of it you would need a variable in config.extra that increments by 1 every time you play a straight (if you need help with that, Ctrl+F "runner" in the same file), and then just trigger SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, [joker to retrigger], context) with a for loop like so:

-- replace "repetitions" with whatever you end up calling your variable
for i = 1, card.ability.extra.repetitons do
    SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, [joker to retrigger], context)
end

[pure salmon]

context.reroll_shop does not contain the cards currently in the shop. unfortunately i wouldn't know which cardarea contains the shop cards. maybe someone else here can help with that

[normal crest]

blueprint_effect only returns a table of effects

[pure salmon]

oh yeah, it gets returned in blueprint

hm

[crisp coral]

G.shop_joker

[normal crest]

G.shop_jokers.cards

[crisp coral]

close enough

[rare torrent]

ok imma try that now thanks guys

[copper thorn]

as a begginer, i understood atmost 5 words ...it looks clear but i don't really understand

[pure salmon]

just add a line that says loc_txt = {name = "Unknown"} and it should display that instead of ERROR

[normal crest]

You want to use SMODS.merge_effects with the returned value of blueprint_effect

[tardy juniper]

nvm, got it to work

[tardy juniper]

yeah... hehe
right as you said that i got it

thanks tho :3

[crisp coral]

wtf is merge effects

[pure salmon]

if what srockw is saying is true you might want to start with making a few jokers with simpler effects to get your bearings. what you're asking is fairly complex

[wintry solar]

It auto adds effects tables as extra recursively

[normal crest]

its not much more complex than your for loop

[copper thorn]

i know i've done simpler ones, but this one got on my mind and i hate leaving projects behind, even if i have to suffer to make them true

[pure salmon]

that's fair enough, i know absolutely nothing about SMODS.merge_effects so maybe someone else here is better equipped to make that work

[normal crest]

Before the for loop you want to declare a local table that you later return, inside the for loop I think you'd assign ret = SMODS.merge_effects(ret, blueprint_effect stuff), ret being the table you declared

[crisp coral]

oh uhh for multi blueprint?

[wintry solar]

Yeah it can be used for that

[spice wadi]

Find the bit about text localisation on the SMODS wiki
Basically it's a file containing all the text for your mod in a particular language
I'm guessing since you didn't set any localisation for your rarity, it can't find the name for it and puts error instead

[rare torrent]

ok i have 2 more questions
1- is it possible to replace the +4 mult in the description with the current mult?
2- how do i make it show a message when rerolled like +8 mult or +16 mult?

    key = "waffle",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Waffle",
        text = {
            "{C:mult}+4{} Mult, {X:mult,C:white}X2{} every",
            "shop reroll without finding",
            "a {C:red}Rare{} Joker"
        }
    },
    atlas = "waffle",
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 10,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    
        -- Initial multiplier state
    ability = {
        mult = 4
    },
    
    juice_up = function(self)
    -- Optional: particle/sound effect or debug print
    print("Waffle juice up triggered! Current mult: " .. tostring(self.ability.mult))
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- Only run multiplier update if reroll is happening
    if context.reroll_shop then  
        local found_rare = false
        for _, joker in ipairs(G.shop_joker or {}) do
            if joker.rarity and joker.rarity >= 3 then
                found_rare = true
                break
            end
        end

        if found_rare then
            self.ability.mult = 4
        else
            self.ability.mult = (self.ability.mult or 4) * 2
            card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {mult = self.ability.mult, text = "+" .. self.ability.mult})
        end

        self:juice_up()
    end

    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            mult = self.ability.mult or 4,
            colour = G.C.WHITE,
            card = self
        }
    end
end,

}```

[pure salmon]

for 1, you can have updating variables in your description like so. #1# in the card description refers to the first variable returned from loc_vars, #2# the second, and so on.

[spice wadi]

1. Yes, look into loc_vars
2. When rerolled, you can return {message = "your message"}. You can change the message to be smth like "+"..card.ability.mult (although I'd recommend putting all the variables in a table called extra, not just under ability)

[pure salmon]

also, card.ability.extra is preferred over self.ability

[spice wadi]

I just realised you already did part of 2
I'm not sure why you're using card_eval_status_text tho instead of returning a message or even using SMODS.calculate_effect

[snow vale]

burh

(how do i fix it)

[whole lava]

is this one print lol for every card held in hand?

[snow vale]

yeah i think

not sure

[rare torrent]

ok part 2 is working but in the description it's just showing nil value ```local waffle = SMODS.Joker{
key = "waffle",
loc_txt = {
name = "Waffle",
text = {
"{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult, {X:mult,C:white}X2{} every",
"shop reroll without finding",
"a {C:red}Rare{} Joker"
}
},
loc_vars = function(self)
return {self.ability.extra or 4}
end,

atlas = "waffle",
rarity = 3,
cost = 10,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
blueprint_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
perishable_compat = true,```

[wintry solar]

Yes, one per card. You can put G.hand.cards directly into ipairs btw, no need for a local variable

[whole lava]

but i don't know why this isn't working

[snow vale]

hmm

idk

ask someone good at coding

[whole lava]

oh ok

[pure salmon]

is there a reason for _, card in ipairs(table) is preferred over just for card in table

[spice wadi]

Can you send the entire code
Because it seems that you've entirely removed the config for the card
So youre still supposed to use card, not self

[wintry solar]

Because the second one isn’t how lua functions

[rare torrent]

    key = "waffle",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Waffle",
        text = {
            "{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult, {X:mult,C:white}X2{} every",
            "shop reroll without finding",
            "a {C:red}Rare{} Joker"
        }
    },
    loc_vars = function(self)
        return {self.ability.extra or 4}
    end,

    atlas = "waffle",
    rarity = 3,
    cost = 10,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,

[spice wadi]

I said a table called extra
Like vars = { extra = { mult = 4}}
And for loc_vars the 3 arguments for that function need to be self, info_queue, and card
Then use card.ability.extra.mult

[rare torrent]

oh okay

[snow vale]

how can i make that show correctly?

[spice wadi]

Can you show the original

The code I mean

[snow vale]

oh ok

[spice wadi]

Can you show your loc_vars 😭

[snow vale]

i mean i cant show the whole code, it's too long..

[west prism]

did you write {C:mult}+1 as the #1# variable

[spice wadi]

Okay I see the issue
I don't think you can do that
Have multiple formatting things one after the other like that

[snow vale]

#1# is for the possibils, and #2# is for the {mult}

[snow vale]

so then how can i do it?

[tardy juniper]

how... can i make it create a joker when sold?

[snow vale]

or i simply cant

[rare torrent]

wait im confused, like this? ```local waffle = SMODS.Joker{
key = "waffle",
loc_txt = {
name = "Waffle",
text = {
"{C:mult}+#1#{} Mult, {X:mult,C:white}X2{} every",
"shop reroll without finding",
"a {C:red}Rare{} Joker"
}
},

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {card.ability.extra.mult or 4}
end,

atlas = "waffle",
rarity = 3,
cost = 10,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
blueprint_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
perishable_compat = true,

ability = {
    extra = {
        mult = 4
    }
},

juice_up = function(self)
    print("Waffle juice up triggered! Current mult: " .. tostring(self.ability.extra.mult))
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- On shop reroll
    if context.reroll_shop then  
        local found_rare = false
        for _, joker in ipairs(G.shop_joker or {}) do
            if joker.rarity and joker.rarity >= 3 then
                found_rare = true
                break
            end
        end

        if found_rare then
            card.ability.extra.mult = 4
        else
            card.ability.extra.mult = (card.ability.extra.mult or 4) * 2

            -- Optional message when rerolling
            return {
                message = "+" .. card.ability.extra.mult .. " Mult"
            }
        end

        self:juice_up()
    end

    -- Main joker effect
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult or 4,
            colour = G.C.WHITE,
            card = self
        }
    end
end

}``` it's crashing tho

[normal crest]

here you want to replace ability with config

[spice wadi]

I don't really know sorry

[spice wadi]

Oh yeah that's my mistake
I woulda checked against an actual example if I was at my pc

[rare torrent]

it's still crashing

[normal crest]

the game parses this kind of text on startup, you're just adding plain text without the parsing

[normal crest]

start a new run

[spice wadi]

If the issue continues send a screenshot of the full code with the line numbers visible

[west prism]

Is there a context right after context.hand_drawn? Trying to make a joker to always draw additional cards but context.hand_drawn is only true if there's space in hand to draw into

[rare torrent]

ok now it's not crashing atleast, but still says +nil Mult every time

[spice wadi]

@rare torrent can you do this

[normal crest]

your loc_vars function is wrong

you want to return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }

[wintry solar]

Whats the exact effect?

[west prism]

simply calling draw_card(G.deck, G.hand), works on context.after for example but thats not ideal

[wintry solar]

That doesn’t tell me at all what you’re trying to create

[rare torrent]

that fixed it! thanks

[spice wadi]

What editor are you using btw

[normal crest]

that's notepad++

[rare torrent]

notepad++

[spice wadi]

You should probably use visual studio code and install the lua extension

Makes things a lot easier imo

[rare torrent]

maybe someday

i don't like visual studio code that much tho

[whole lava]

idk why it doesn't print lol in lovely log

[pure salmon]

it’s so worth the time it takes to set it up i promise

[west prism]

I want to always draw an additional card after for example playing a hand, so after the hand would be drawn as usual but regarless of if any cards were drawn cuz the hand was full

[pure salmon]

doesn’t hand_drawn trigger after the cards enter your hand anyways

[wintry solar]

Use context.hand_space and return cards_to_draw = context.amount + 1

[pure salmon]

where are all these contexts coming from

[wintry solar]

I am the context wizard

[pure salmon]

smods really needs some better docs lol, i’m not qualified enough to write them

[red flower]

context.drawing_cards*

[wintry solar]

Oh yes i changed it whoops

[west prism]

nice ty both

[rare torrent]

wait ok just found out this isn't working ```calculate = function(self, card, context)
-- On shop reroll
if context.reroll_shop then
local found_rare = false
for _, joker in ipairs(G.shop_joker or {}) do
if joker.rarity and joker.rarity >= 3 then
found_rare = true
break
end
end

        if found_rare then
            card.ability.extra.mult = 4
        else
            card.ability.extra.mult = (card.ability.extra.mult or 4) * 2

            -- Optional message when rerolling
            return {
                message = "+" .. card.ability.extra.mult .. " Mult"
            }
        end``` because i did get a rare joker in the shop and it still multiplied it by 2

[wintry solar]

G.shop_joker.cards

[normal crest]

oh yeah? name all the contexts

[red flower]

G.shop_jokers.cards and joker.config.center.rarity but it's also a string sometimes so >= won't work all the time

[tardy juniper]

how can i make it create this card when sold...?

[normal crest]

use only context.selling_self

[worthy stirrup]

Do yall have any ideas how I could animate these in the collection? this is the code im using

update = function(self, card, dt)
        -- Store animation state in self
        self._counter = self._counter or 0
        self._timer = (self._timer or 0) + dt

        -- Update animation every 0.05 seconds
        if self._timer >= 0.5 then
            self._timer = self._timer - 0.5
            self._counter = (self._counter + 1) % 4
            self.pos.x = self._counter + 4 -- Update self's position directly
        end

[rare torrent]

after doing that it crashes

[tardy juniper]

oh, alrighty

[normal crest]

G.shop_jokers.cards

[rare torrent]

yeah i did that

[normal crest]

with the s

jokerS

[rare torrent]

oh

wait my bad

[wintry solar]

Yeah i just copied what you had because I don’t know all the shop areas off the top of my head 😂

[normal crest]

What are all the contexts added since may 9th

[sonic cedar]

can anyone tell me why this is defining as a table?

[red flower]

context.drawing_cards
context.buying_self
context.round_eval
i think thats it?

[rare torrent]

ok now it works perfectly thanks guys!

[snow vale]

how do i make it work?

[normal crest]

oki now add them to the wiki thank yew

[normal crest]

i don't know

[sonic cedar]

nvm it seems like it's just an extension issue, especially since the quick fixes are just "ignore it lmao"

[worthy stirrup]

Im just wanting to check, in the docs it says "Cards are considered added when they become undebuffed (in this case, from_debuff will be true)." if from_debuff comes in as false, does that mean it was purchsed/spawned in and will never trigger from undebuffing?

[whole lava]

how to use the x mult and x chips in talisman mod?

[red flower]

from_debuff is probably nil but yes when it's false it means that it was added in a way other than undebufffing

[worthy stirrup]

thanks!

[scenic steeple]

so, this is doing everything I need it too except for 1 thing, it's not actually giving $2 when an ace or 8 is played, so uhm please help I beg

[wintry solar]

Coming soon tm

[formal parrot]

You forgot the return in calculate

dollars =card.ability.extra.dollars

[scenic steeple]

grand

thx

[maiden phoenix]

When does context.round_eval hit?

out of curiosity

[red flower]

it's the anaglyph tag timing during the evaluation screen

[worthy stirrup]

holy shit, noelle pfp

[scenic steeple]

snow

[worthy stirrup]

[maiden phoenix]

oh

[pure salmon]

is there a function to get base.nominal that returns something like 0 or nil for rankless cards

[modern kindle]

What are you trying to do

[onyx sonnet]

[pure salmon]

i use base.nomimal for quite a few different cards but i don't want it to return the underlying rank of, say, stone cards

[modern kindle]

You could just check if it has m_stone i guess and return 0 manually

[pure salmon]

why the fuck does get_nominal() return -80.33... for stone cards

[red flower]

just use SMODS.has_no_rank

[pure salmon]

got it

[modern kindle]

My ass forgot this existed

[red flower]

i think it's a random negative number
idk why probably some smart sorting thing or something

[modern kindle]

Oh that reminds me of a question i had you can prob answer N

[red flower]

shoot

[modern kindle]

Can I still detect modded suits from card.base.suit or is that still pulled from has_no_suit
I remember awhile ago I believe that's where modded ones were messed with for some reason

[wintry solar]

You can use it to add custom things to the cash out screen https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1233186615086813277/1381044150299791360/image.png?ex=684ea6d7&is=684d5557&hm=c897393e9b0d2952f0c43420e37414bcb092f205d9ba824f649a29f1021ae543&

[tall wharf]

yay

[red flower]

no idea sorry

[maiden phoenix]

huh

[tall wharf]

if anyone wanna help test the new menu stability it is here

unfortunately the mod authors are dynatext and it might affect performance somewhat

[wintry solar]

You didn’t update galdur!

[tall wharf]

sorry

[snow vale]

how can i know if a card is destroyed?

[sturdy compass]

They are? For what reason?

[red flower]

enjoying the new smods release

[sturdy compass]

Does the new SMODS automatically pass in a pseudoseed now?

[red flower]

for pseudorandom_element it just takes the string like pseudorandom does

[sturdy compass]

Huge

[fallow condor]

I know it's crashing because of the assets not working correctly, but I can't find why it is crashing because all the sizes should be right.

[harsh raft]

anyone know what the gluttonous joker is called in the game files I'm getting this
INFO - [G] Error: Joker center not found for j_gluttonous_joker

[fallow condor]

try j_gluttonous

instead of j_gluttonous_joker

[red flower]

j_gluttenous_joker

[harsh raft]

ye ty ty

[fallow condor]

ops

mb

it's j_golden and not j_golden_joker

why gluttenous?

[pulsar furnace]

how do i make that a consumable its not destroyed after using it? ( in context.using_consumable )

[unborn bay]

dynatext in general is much slower than normal ui text

[primal robin]

Of course it is, every letter is a separate ui element

[unborn bay]

precisely

[fallow condor]

I've had this crash two times already. Once someone else was trying my mod, it worked for everyone except for them.
And now it's me, I got it to work now by using the zip they sent of my mod where the artist replaced the art by theirs.

[unkempt rover]

Can someone help me, I want to make a seal that when the card with the seal is played it is always scored

[modern kindle]

you can probably return true on keep_on_use

    keep_on_use = function(self, card)
        return true
    end

[pulsar furnace]

im doing it on a calculate function, its a deck

[modern kindle]

oh my bad gangster, i thought it was a consumable

[hybrid shadow]

will the new smods release fuck my code up at all

[unkempt rover]

Please help

[fallow condor]

this is for enhancements, but ig it works for seals too

[unkempt rover]

Ok

[fallow condor]

not sure tho 😭

[pulsar furnace]

Does anyone know?

[sturdy compass]

No I meant like why are they dynatext

Cuz that should be a static text field, should it not?

[unborn bay]

its probably easier to add the marquee effect to dynatext instead of it being in every goddamn ui element in the game

[sturdy compass]

That seems like an egregious reason to drop performance 😭

[unborn bay]

plus it makes sense to be in dynatext

[modern kindle]

its simple, have a system that wont mind the drop

[sturdy compass]

Well yeah but that’s still a little wonky

[unborn bay]

also its not like dynatext is gonna immediately gonna fuck up your day anyway

it won't kill your grandma

unless the author string is very very very long and at that point they might as well put et al.

[red flower]

& co

[fallow condor]

what is the thing for current money called?
Like the card.ability.extra_value in card.ability.extra_value = card.ability.extra_value + card.ability.extra.price

[red flower]

can you elaborate? im not following

[modern kindle]

current players money is G.GAME.dollars iirc
but without more context thats all i can guess you mean by current money

[unkempt rover]

Don't worked

[red flower]

try

if context.modify_scoring_hand and context.other_card == card then
  return { add_to_hand = true }
end

[fallow condor]

i'm so bad at coding

I'm only spreading misinformation 😭

[red flower]

nah this is just undocumented

[modern kindle]

insert undocumented func sticker

[fallow condor]

the amount of dollars a player currently has

[modern kindle]

yea, thats G.GAME.dollars

[fallow condor]

at end of round in this case

but I don't think that matters

[fallow condor]

ok, thx

[fallow condor]

So if I do G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars * 1.5 my money will get multiplied by 1.5 (that 1.5 will be something else)

?

[wintry solar]

I’m not 100% sure if that would update the ui, you could use ease_dollars(0.5*G.GAME.dollars)

[violet gulch]

I feel like I just need to start saving discord messages of undocumented things for a random day of feeling like adding to a wiki

[unkempt rover]

Dont worked

            return {
               add_to_hand = true
            }
        end
    end,
}```

[red flower]

im not good at writing stuff but also eremel is already working on the contexts page

[red flower]

can you screenshot the whole code

[unkempt rover]

I'm using the example mod for seal that's on Steamodded, can I send code to you in dm?

[gusty hatch]

technically speaking all the docu already exists

[red flower]

i would prefer if you send it here

[gusty hatch]

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

there's a cute cat too

kitty~~

yay

[violet gulch]

the cat is very cute

[gusty hatch]

its adorable

:3

[red flower]

we are talking about stuff that's not documented there

[gusty hatch]

really!?

thats awesome

youve got to be very advanced then

im learning the ropes myself rn

its my 4th day

[red flower]

good luck :3

[gusty hatch]

sankiuuuu

do you want me to share my progress?

i got some cool jokers made

[red flower]

i mean if you want to

[violet gulch]

I think I'm about double you right now, whopping 8 days

I swear the worst part is trying to sort out art for these jokers

[gusty hatch]

I remember that @manic rune and @wind steppe helped me a lot in the beggining

I would ask them for stuff too

[gusty hatch]

I got a decent hand for that; I mostly recycle sprites from other jokers and tweak

[gusty hatch]

👉 👈 it would make me feel special

[unkempt rover]

@red flower

[unkempt rover]

Only seal code

[violet gulch]

Artist I am not. Jokers I've created are 50/50 placeholder/original art right now.

[gusty hatch]

yeah right?

look at this

[sick viper]

anyone knows how to change the card of the title screen and change it for a joker?

[gusty hatch]

I made this three

I understand they look rookie

but they dont hurt the eyes

(I hope)

As soon as i keep practice it will get better

[red flower]

the code i sent needs to be inside a calculate function

[red flower]

they look infinitely better than anything i can do

[gusty hatch]

ayy lmao thank you

im right now studying how to make the third effect

[violet gulch]

Those are awesome

[gusty hatch]

but i have seen here a clue

G.Game stores gamestate variables

I'm hoping that accesing that variable makes me able to know the current player money

[magic summit]

These look cool honestly one of my favourite designs ive seen recently

[gusty hatch]

right!? and its mostly recycled!

[violet gulch]

Here are mine that currently have something other than a placeholder

[gusty hatch]

Wow those are much more complex

[violet gulch]

Left two my brother did w/ AI help

[gusty hatch]

I love those pets!?

What are their name?

furrets?

nono

[violet gulch]

Otters

[gusty hatch]

Otters!!!

I love those

they are very detailed v nice

The concept of the casino joker has a lot of potential

and the bowling joker is funny

but i would correct it by giving you a little help:

[violet gulch]

I've got two main themes right now:
Bowling
Casino/Blackjack

[unkempt rover]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- main_scoring context is used whenever the card is scored
        if context.modify_scoring_hand and context.other_card == card then
            return {
               add_to_hand = true
            }
        end
    end,
}

[gusty hatch]

This is the balatro palette

[gusty hatch]

@violet gulch always colour using the original palette

[glad osprey]

free my ass

[gusty hatch]

(i know, lmao)

its supposed to be an extension of other behaviour its why its worded that way

but i gochu ill change it

it wont say "free" anymore

[unborn bay]

feel like this is just wraith 2

[gusty hatch]

yeah

[unborn bay]

intriguing

[glad osprey]

nah it makes sense just funny lol

[gusty hatch]

TRUE THAT

I was just trying to extend the concept of "beverages" from diet cola

[turbid maple]

the meta is credit card debt into alcohol speedrun

its peak

[gusty hatch]

yeah right? thematically works

its a cool observation

[violet gulch]

🤣 This game is supposed to get us away from reality

[gusty hatch]

ill change the description and make a capture one second gang

[gusty hatch]

also gang btw

I forgot about the third texture; but the other two have an amogus hidden somewhere

can you guys find the two amogus? uwu xd

[unkempt rover]

It's the code I put in the mod N'

[red flower]

did it work

[unkempt rover]

Don't

[red flower]

can i see the whole code again

[daring fern]

‎

[unkempt rover]

I can send you the file in lua. I think it can make things easier

[red flower]

please

[gusty hatch]

ok guys I can confirm that this does set your money to cero

[unkempt rover]

@red flower wrong code

[gusty hatch]

that code was cool tho

did you happen to add at any point a tarot card to the player?

i need that behaviour figured out

@unkempt rover can i copy your homework?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/33448418dc9cc36256e1cbb9963a65b4d799577b/src/jokers.lua#L597

[gusty hatch]

so, example code right?

[gusty hatch]

thank you

[red flower]

these are all the vanilla jokers made in smods so if you need anything the vanilla jokers do you can check there

[gusty hatch]

awesome

[gusty hatch]

<@&1133519078540185692> is it possible you could pin this link to this channel to make it easier to the community to learn please?

[red flower]

what steamodded version are you using

[gusty hatch]

this one

<@&1133519078540185692>

[unkempt rover]

That one at the beginning of the code

[karmic creek]

Why are you doing it again

[gusty hatch]

hello!

sorry to interrupt

[red flower]

i wouldnt recommend pinning that link specifically because it doesnt point to the main page, also it's already in the thread in modding-chat

[gusty hatch]

because in my first comment i havent commented the link

[red flower]

then update

[polar tulip]

Oh man

[gusty hatch]

oh, my bad then sorry mods

[exotic hedge]

💔

[primal robin]

[karmic creek]

I’m not pinning resources in this channel - egg will pin in threads but in main channels it’s usually exclusively rules posts

[gusty hatch]

fair enough; well I'm commenting only because i have not been made aware where mod documentation is

there are a lot of miscellaneous threads there

finding the docu was to me unexpected,

but i understand you make the rules

thank you for your time regardless

[daring fern]

‎

[modern kindle]

my only real guess is to look at how smods implements quantum enhancements and try to apply that methodology to editions
i think it was something talked about loosely before but i never saw anything further come of it

actually, sorry for ping @chrome widget

you had/have a quantum editions patch would you be able to pass that here

[unkempt rover]

Thank you bro

Worked

[chrome widget]

Oh yes I do do a thing with quantum editions

[gusty hatch]

ok guys, it looks like this is not the way to spawn a card:

[chrome widget]

It's inherently very simplified and is based on my specific single joker use case

[compact valve]

how does one start a balatro mod that reworks existing jokers

[gusty hatch]

i wish i could help im a bit of a noobie here too

[daring fern]

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

[modern kindle]

icic
i know something wants to do something with quantum editions (hell at some point i want to also) but i figure if he and myself can see what you mess with we can go from there

[daring fern]

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

[gusty hatch]

right! thank you

[final jewel]

What is wrong in my code I keep crashing when I want to see My consumable

[daring fern]

You don't return in the use function.

[gusty hatch]

ok well this does not work

[daring fern]

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

[gusty hatch]

ok, I may not know how to read

which is entirely my fault

I'm sorry

[final jewel]

oh like if I want the consumable to give cash I just write dollars = 2, right

[daring fern]

No, you do SMODS.calculate_effect({dollars = 2}, card)

[final jewel]

oh ok thx

Unlike with Quantum Enhancements, this actually sets permanent values on a Joker that it then calculates as normal using the lovely patch. In this specific case, it's based on a Joker that treats all editions as Holo, Foil, and Polychrome in addition to their base effect, so right now the code just adds those three in addition to whatever edition is being set. You'l have to chane the code to get something to directly set and unset quantum editions

thank you very much bestie
@daring fern you can take a gander at what winter has done

[gusty hatch]

I thank you a lot because this works!!!!

[snow vale]

how can i know if a joker is destroyed?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[snow vale]

to give mult for every destroyed specific joker

[daring fern]

You would have to make a custom context for that.

[snow vale]

yay

what do you need

[copper thorn]

hey it's me again, im trying to make a card that retrriger every stone card

what am i supposed to put instead of "is_face" ?

[chrome widget]

if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_stone') then if you want to check for quantum enhancements
if context.other_card.config.center.key == 'm_stone' then if you only want to check base enhancements

[snow vale]

wait a second i just realised. is your username because of the nice cream from undertale?

[copper thorn]

thanksssss

[modern kindle]

can you not do has_enhancement for base ones? huh
id assume you could just do both

[mossy helm]

[modern kindle]
