[tight notch]

im getting this error after making a shader for my edition. i used ionized.fs as a base and converted the rest from glsl. are there any other conversion steps i need?

[viral ember]

The shaders require a position and effect function

they don't have to do anything iirc

[tall jewel]

How would I limit the controller to only allow focus on an overlay's elements?

[viral ember]

I'm probably wrong tho

[candid sleet]

ignore the comments being wrong why does this apply the 0.25 to my score instead of scaled xmult?

[tall jewel]

[tight notch]

how would i add those? i know nothing about shaders so i just used a glsl gui and used find and replace for conversion

[tall jewel]

return xmult

not XmultMod

[candid sleet]

ah ok

thanks that worked but it's also applying the 0.25 xmult after the scaled

so now it's just doing scaled xmult like x1.75 and then x0.25

[daring fern]

Code?

[tight notch]

i think i figured out how to add the position function but i still cant figure out the effect portion

[daring fern]

Remove the message.

[candid sleet]

yeah that worked thanks

i wanted to add a food element to this where it self destructs after a certain number of rounds, as it's scaling after each round could i just code it so once xmult is over 3 xmult it SDs?

[tight notch]

heres the effect portion

[vague crest]

bumping this now that i have a tall glass of dr pepper and a kinder mindset

[tight notch]

*position

here's the start of it

[daring fern]

Try looking at It is forbidden to dog from Aikoyori's Shenanigans

[vague crest]

will do

[wraith forge]

can someone please help me add a custom sound effect to the game? i don't know where or how to register it.

[daring fern]

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

[tight notch]

SMODS.Sound {
  key = "key",
  path = "foobar.ogg"
}

[wraith forge]

ty

[tight notch]

make sure to put it in assets/sounds

[wraith forge]

yes

[viral ember]

Like this right?

ofc it's not defined for the sake of laziness

[tight notch]

bump

[viral ember]

but this would theoretically retrigger a specific joker twice?

[daring fern]

No, it is context.retrigger_joker_check

[daring fern]

No.

[viral ember]

why?

[daring fern]

retrigger_joker is not a valid return value.

[viral ember]

oh

what should it be then?

[tight notch]

here's the shader code

[wild pine]

im trying to make a custom hand thats just zero cards for an edge case with a boss blind, and it just isnt registering properly or something, how do you fix this?

also iterating through all the hands with for k,v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do print(k) end doesnt show it in the list either

[daring fern]

Try looking at the None hand from Cryptid.

[wild pine]

also when changing the return to be similar to cryptid's none hand return { hand and #hand == 0 and G.GAME.hands["star_nothing"].visible and {} or nil } it gives this instead

[wild pine]

from cryptid yeah? my code is basically a copy of theirs

[faint yacht]

G.handlist?

[daring fern]

The star_nothing hand doesn't exist.

[wild pine]

im not sure if hands need like an extra file for the game to load it properly or if its just like adding jokers in one file

[wild pine]

but i cant just put G.GAME.hands["nothing"] right

like in cryptid it has the key as cry_None

[red flower]

they don't
how are you loading it?

[wild pine]

in the main file, just like how im doing it with jokers

hands.lua is in libs

[red flower]

are the other files in libs loading properly

[wild pine]

its the only file in libs and console shows its loading properly yeah

[hasty mist]

what's the sound effect for when an ante increases?

[tight notch]

bump

[red flower]

try adding a print to the hands file

[wild pine]

like inside pokerHand or just at the top

[red flower]

at the top

[wild pine]

ight

[wraith forge]

hey guys last thing for tonight, I don't know why the description of the card wont work in game. the texture shows up, but the description is an empty box

[red flower]

so it didn't load?

[wild pine]

i just put in the print 1 sec

yeah its doin it

[red flower]

Tarot not Tarots

[daring fern]

highlight2

[red flower]

hmmm then idk

if you make the poker hand visible does it show up in the run info?

[wraith forge]

opps im a little silly

[wild pine]

thats the funny thing even when its not visible the game crashes upon opening the run info

ill try making it visible tho

oh wait what the hell

making it visible made it show up

[vague crest]

got it as this now for my joker compared to this and its not working still

[wild pine]

still cant play it though thats for sure

[red flower]

i mean i can see that it exists there in the log

[wild pine]

yeah

still doesnt show up in here too

[tight notch]

getting this error when making a shader converted from glsl. what other conversion steps are there?

[red flower]

none hand in cryptid has a bunch of patches maybe you need some of them

[lament agate]

i still need some help

[red flower]

with what

[wild pine]

hm true

[tight notch]

wait i think it's because float is supposed to be number

[wild pine]

this is gonna be one hell of a rabbit hole to fix

[lament agate]

this

[daring fern]

You need to use the patches that that joker uses.

[lament agate]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.after and context.poker_hands and context.poker_hands['Flush'] and #context.poker_hands['Flush'] > 0 then
            local flush_cards = context.poker_hands['Flush']
            local example_card = flush_cards[1]
            if example_card and example_card.base and example_card.base.suit then
                local flush_suit = example_card.base.suit
    
                for _, c in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                    if c and c.base then
                        c:set_suit(flush_suit)
                        c:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
                    end
                end
    
                return {
                    message = "Shrimps are pretty rich.",
                    colour = G.C.SUITS[flush_suit]
                }
            end
        end
    end    
}

is this right

because this doesnt do anythin

g

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.change_base(card, suit) not card:set_suit

[red flower]

i like kero kero bonito

[lament agate]

oh for god's sake

hold on

[lament agate]

how do you know its flamingo

[tight notch]

nope, same error after changing all instances of float to number

[red flower]

the message

[lament agate]

right

[lament agate]

but like

i want to change the cards held in hand

suits

with the suits of the played flush

[daring fern]

Yes, that is the function for changing suits.

[lament agate]

?

[red flower]

you want local flush_cards = context.poker_hands["Flush"][1]

[lament agate]

new local or overwriting the other one?

[daring fern]

Change card to c and suit to flush_suit

[red flower]

overwriting the one you have

[floral cobalt]

where do you find information about G (i want to guess it read game information)

i''ve been searchin the git for 30 mins already

cant find shit

[daring fern]

Yes, it is.

[lament agate]

thats not a yes or no question smth

[floral cobalt]

.-.

[lament agate]

hold on

i forgot where

[floral cobalt]

there must be some information somewhere

API

[lament agate]

i just woke up

[floral cobalt]

anything

[floral cobalt]

f

[red flower]

this is the best you will be able to find
https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/pull/30

[lament agate]

that

UPDATE TH eDAMN WIKI

[floral cobalt]

🥀

[lament agate]

thanks

[lament agate]

thanks

it works!!

thank you

@daring fern @red flower you guys are my savior

[tight notch]

bump, and bump, and bump. one day i'll make a splash

[lament agate]

i dont think anyone in here ever touches shaders

other than insolence guy or baker

[tight notch]

😭

[lament agate]

yeah you're DOOMED 🥀

[tight notch]

where do i find help on this bc i have not found a single helpful resource

i would assume someone would know considering you kinda need one for an edition

[lament agate]

hold

[red flower]

i just decided to not make editions

[tight notch]

i wouldn't make editions if i didnt think of a really funny joke for one and now im commited

[wintry solar]

I just took the code from a vanilla edition and then wrote what I wanted it to do instead using the stuff in there

it probably helped that I hadn't touched shader language stuff for over 10 years

[tight notch]

i just used the smods and love2d docs and converted from glsl

it says that it's just changing words but clearly it isn't

i have the effects converted but i dont know how to use them or just make it not crash

[lament agate]

you might wanna search it up yourself my fucking god its spinning for 3 minutes already

its something like

how to import shadertoy shaders into balatro tutorial or something

you can also ask the guy there

[red flower]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1371212149908836472

[lament agate]

he made like

20 editions or something

[lament agate]

that

discord is actually tweaking for me

everything runs fine

[tight notch]

the edition im making is pretty specific

i dont think i could find it on shadertoy, plus i already converted from glsl which is basically 1 to 1 with love2d's shaders

[lament agate]

you can ask the guy for some help tho

[feral tree]

How do i get a joker to detect when it's been added to your hand? i wanna have a joker that creates a copy of itself whenever it's bought from the shop or summoned by another joker

[tight notch]

the issue is just the formatting of it

like the effect function is missing and i dont know how to make it

[lament agate]

he knows shaders

[tight notch]

alr

[hasty mist]

How do you set up mod settings?

I'm trying to make a simple toggle for experimental/unstable jokers

[high sinew]

Create a config path if not done yet

[hasty mist]

in root?

actually i dont think it matters right

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions#modconfig_tab

[lament agate]

is context for when you start a new round a thing

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

what is it

[daring fern]

context.setting_blind

[lament agate]

oh i was right then

[candid sleet]

trying to make a +20 mult joker that destroys itself after 5 rerolls it is not destroying itself when it reaches 5 rerolls gg

[daring fern]

set_flags and add_to_hand don't exist.

[lament agate]

so how do you instantly play it?

like

i want them to spawn in my hand

and immediately plays it

[daring fern]

local _card = SMODS.add_card({set = "Playing Card", suit = "Hearts"})
G.hand:add_to_highlighted(_card)
G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted()
```?

[lament agate]

huh

sure

thanks

[lament agate]

and how do you specify the rank?

[daring fern]

rank = "Ace"

[lament agate]

thanks

[high sinew]

Can you manipulate decks to have certain blinds? Imma look into it later curious if anyone knows or tried

[lament agate]

like this?

[high sinew]

Aces are called Ace

[daring fern]

"A" isn't a valid rank.

[lament agate]

damnit

[tight notch]

even after using the shadertoy guide it still crashes, i might give up on this

[hasty mist]

awesome

[daring fern]

It's "Ace" for aces.

[high sinew]

Jack for J Queen for Q King for K

[lament agate]

good to know

trying it out rn

[high sinew]

Arguments also same for change_base I think that’s the function name

[lament agate]

i seeee

[high sinew]

Yuh I just checked it is so if u ever wanna change cards use that unless it’s like strength I would suggestion modify rank

[hasty mist]

okay now what

[daring fern]

ast_config doesn't exist.

[high sinew]

Yea I would scour all the files like utility, game objects, and other broad stuff in SMODS it helps to see what it looks like and how it’s being used

Teaches you how to build any custom ones needed for mods if so

[red flower]

"A" should work too, takes both types of keys

[hasty mist]

how do i actually check for config

[daring fern]

if SMODS.current_mod.config.key then

[lament agate]

SO I WAS RIGHT

[red flower]

"H" should also work

[lament agate]

H?

[red flower]

for hearts

[tender blade]

Hello, I am an actual dumbass, i've looked at some references but there's a lot of shenanigans going on, can someone point me to just changing the language files, i litterally just want to rename 3 planet cards

[red flower]

this texture pack does that

[final jewel]

How are we supposed to get the rank of a highlighted card

[wild escarp]

Seems like quantum enhancements aren't working with cryptid installed for me, anyone have some insight?

[tall jewel]

does anyone happen to know why the texture doesn't go down with the button?

definition = {
                n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cl",colour = HEX("a58547"), minw = 2, emboss = 0.1, r=0.1, padding=0.1, button='your_collection_fishies'}, nodes={
                            {n=G.UIT.O, config={object = FishingMod.FishieButtonSprite}},

[daring fern]

G.hand.highlighted[1]:get_id()

[final jewel]

thankx

[daring fern]

I have a function that may work, but has lag.

[wild escarp]

I'd be willing to try.

[tall jewel]

nevermind I think i got it

[daring fern]

function SEALS.get_quantum_enhancements(card)
    if card.ability.soe_enhancements and #card.ability.soe_enhancements >= 2 then
        local quantumenhancements = copy_table(card.ability.soe_enhancements)
        for i, v in ipairs(quantumenhancements) do
            if v == card.config.center.key then
                table.remove(quantumenhancements, i)
                break
            end
        end
        return quantumenhancements
    end
    return {}
end

function SEALS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, effects, context)
    if card.debuff then return nil end
    context.soe_extra_enhancement = true
    local old_ability = copy_table(card.ability)
    local old_center = card.config.center
    local old_center_key = card.config.center_key
    local extra_enhancements_list = SEALS.get_quantum_enhancements(card)
    table.sort(extra_enhancements_list, function(a, b) return G.P_CENTERS[a].order < G.P_CENTERS[b].order end)
    for _, k in ipairs(extra_enhancements_list) do
        card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[k], nil, 'quantum', true)
        card.ability.extra_enhancement = k
        local eval = {enhancement = card:calculate_enhancement(context)}
        table.insert(effects, eval)
    end
    card.ability = old_ability
    card.config.center = old_center
    card.config.center_key = old_center_key
    context.soe_extra_enhancement = nil
end
``` I have these, you would need to change them around to suit your needs also you need to do some patching.

# SMODS.calculate_context()
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'
pattern = '''SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, quantum_eval, context)'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
SEALS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, quantum_eval, context)
'''
match_indent = true
times = 1

# SMODS.calculate_context()
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'
pattern = '''SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, effects, context)'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
SEALS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, effects, context)
'''
match_indent = true
times = 3

# SMODS.calculate_context()
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'
pattern = '''SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, return_table, context)'''
position = "after"
payload = '''
SEALS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, return_table, context)
'''
match_indent = true
times = 1

It has many problems though.

[lament agate]

ignore the mult, but you can put play sound in here right?

[daring fern]

No, it would be sound = "modprefix_soundkey" in the return.

[high sinew]

Play_sound(‘prefix_snowgrave’)

[lament agate]

sound or play_sound

[high sinew]

Both prob work

[lament agate]

ill try both

[high sinew]

You can’t return play sound that is a function

LOL

removes when wrong

[daring fern]

You edited your message.

You changed can to can't

[high sinew]

Cause I misspelled dude

lol

[tender blade]

blessed it works now

[high sinew]

You just always are trying to prove me wrong so karma can be b

[lament agate]

shh

clam down

[worthy stirrup]

CLAM NOOOO

[lament agate]

its really clamplicated

on cod

[worthy stirrup]

He was like a brother to me

[high sinew]

Just stating the fax lol consistency shows key

[wild escarp]

No need to get so heated.

[lament agate]

instead of arguing

help me

[worthy stirrup]

Instead of arguing, let kill each other

[lament agate]

NO

[umbral zodiac]

isnt that just advanced arguing

[worthy stirrup]

No

Shut up, I’ll kill you /j

[faint yacht]

-# Undocumented SMODS.Booster parameter go brr.

[daring fern]

You are trying to do something related to score when mult doesn't exist.

[umbral zodiac]

oh come on if it was a bit higher jokers wouldnt cover it

[lament agate]

did i miss something in here

[worthy stirrup]

I think you got a bit too much mult

[daring fern]

You can't do xmult in context.setting_blind

[lament agate]

oh damn really?

[worthy stirrup]

I mean, you can, the game just doesn’t like it.

[umbral zodiac]

[lament agate]

that sucks

[lament agate]

just a smidge

[floral cobalt]

only a spoonful of xmult

[lament agate]

so like

[worthy stirrup]

It’s just a slight bit too much mult in the back /ref

[lament agate]

how do you apply the xmult then

i want it so that it puts the xmult AFTER scoring

[worthy stirrup]

After scoring? Like after adding the total up?

[daring fern]

mult will always be 0 after scoring.

[lament agate]

oh

[lament agate]

like

this joker draws and plays the ace of hearts right?

[worthy stirrup]

Yea

[lament agate]

like i want it to happen when it scores

or something like that

[daring fern]

No, it creates it.

[floral cobalt]

is there any way to read the final amount of chips and mult you get?

[lament agate]

that too

[daring fern]

Yes.

[floral cobalt]

i'm basicall making this

[worthy stirrup]

So after the cards are done scoring, you want the xmult, yes?

[lament agate]

yes yes

[floral cobalt]

but it saves the starting values

[daring fern]

It is hand_chips and mult

[worthy stirrup]

Ah okay

if I remember correctly, it’s context.joker_main

[lament agate]

and where do i put it

[worthy stirrup]

Seal guy, am I right or am I misremembering

[worthy stirrup]

Replace your context with that one

[floral cobalt]

wdym, like G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.hand_chips?

[lament agate]

will it break the main thing tho?

here's the code

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.setting_blind and not context.blueprint then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                delay = 0.2,
                func = function()
                    local _card = SMODS.add_card({
                        set = "Playing Card",
                        rank = "Ace",
                        suit = "Hearts"
                    })
                    G.hand:add_to_highlighted(_card)
                    G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted()
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return {
                sound = "mvan_snowgrave",
                xmult = 99999999999999999999999,
                message = "P R O C E E D.",
                colour = G.C.SUITS.Hearts
            }
        end
    end
}

[worthy stirrup]

You could also just, make another part of it

Add another if statement with the new context and move the return with the mult to that

And I think it should work

[daring fern]

No, it's just hand_chips and mult

[lament agate]

sure

[floral cobalt]

bruh

alr let me try

[lament agate]

this doesnt work btw

[umbral zodiac]

yyyyyayy,,.,.,finall'e

[lament agate]

how long did it take you

[umbral zodiac]

no xp bar but i would genuinely rather remake my mod from memory until its identical than make a working progress bar

[worthy stirrup]

The whole code or just the sound?

[umbral zodiac]

i don't want to talk about it

[lament agate]

code works fine

just the sound

[floral cobalt]

this is the world's worst possible syntax

and the fac tthat it works scares me

[worthy stirrup]

Oh, I never done anything with sound so i cant help you, sorry

[daring fern]

Try: ```lua
func = function()
play_sound("modprefix_key")
end

[lament agate]

sure

[wild escarp]

How would I debuff a specific joker?

[daring fern]

``` talisman crash, attempt to compare number with table

[umbral zodiac]

you are attempting to compare a number with a table it does not get simpler than that
go check on the line it tells you is the problem and just to_big() both sides of the comparison or something

[daring fern]

Line?

[midnight coyote]

not helpful

iits in common_events.lua

[umbral zodiac]

then something youre doing is likely setting a bignum to a non bignum

[midnight coyote]

oh wait

could it be the return val

[umbral zodiac]

usually not

[midnight coyote]

no

curr_mult is a big

it crashes when i play a hand

[umbral zodiac]

strange

[midnight coyote]

and its a joker problem

cause i can play hands just fine without it

could it be when i multiple comb_sell by card.ability.extra.mult

let me try that

nope

here's crash log

im gonna disable partner

it may be partner

it was not partner

i dunno what im doing

[daring fern]

What is that line in the lovely dump?

[midnight coyote]

common_events.lua:1083?

[daring fern]

Which line is 1083?

[midnight coyote]

its that if statement

in card_eval_status_text

[daring fern]

I had that error once, I fixed it by patching that line to do to_big() on all the numbers.

There is probably a better way though.

[midnight coyote]

can i have your patch?

i’ll credit you

[daring fern]

Never mind, it seems I had that, but I removed it because I fixed it some other way, also that line seems to already has to_big for me.

[wild escarp]

What am I doing wrong here? Seems to be not working at all.

if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then 
    for i = 2, #G.jokers do
        if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key == 'j_willatro_silvermirror' then
            local vampire = nil
            if vampire and G.jokers.cards[i-1].config.center.key == 'j_vampire' then
                vampire = G.jokers.cards[i-1]
            end
            if vampire and G.jokers.cards[i+1].config.center.key == 'j_vampire' then
                vampire = G.jokers.cards[i+1]
            end
            SMODS.debuff_card(vampire, true, "j_willatro_silvermirror")
        end
    end
end

[primal robin]

What is happening here

[daring fern]

Why is i starting at 2? Also it should be #G.jokers.cards not #G.jokers

[midnight coyote]

hmm

odd

i’ll just patch it myself then

if i figure it out some other way

then i’ll just do that

[wild escarp]

i starts at 2 because otherwise it could be substracting 1 from 1 in joker position, and there's no joker 0, if that makes sense.

Also, thanks!

[daring fern]

Yes, you would break the loop if there is no G.jokers.cards[i-1]

[tight notch]

is there way to read up on check for unlock without looking at balatro source code?

[daring fern]

No.

[tight notch]

oh that sucks bc i cant see balatro source code

7z wont work for me on linux

[daring fern]

There is also Peazip

[wild escarp]

What does the source in SMODS.debuff_card do? Can I use it to specifically debuff or un-debuff only from one particular source?

[midnight coyote]

thanx btw

[vague crest]

if i wanted to try and make an enhancement type also considered all suits would i specifically need to use quantum enhancements or is there a way besides having it also be considered a wild card

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wild escarp]

Sweet

[glad wasp]

is there any documentation for talisman?

for like compatability and stuff

[daring fern]

No.

[glad wasp]

not even unofficially?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lucid owl]

...do repeat .. until loops work for jokers, etc? never seen anybody use it but that's a pretty nice lua feature that i haven't utilized (and could)

[daring fern]

I don't see why it wouldn't.

[lament agate]

does it?

[lucid owl]

it'd make sense to, i just wasn't sure given i've never seen it utilized in a mod lol

[daring fern]

No.

[lament agate]

yeah

damnit

[lament agate]

can i repurpose this tho? since it only plays 1 card

[daring fern]

How could one increase all values on a card by 1?

[sweet pelican]

hello everybody, new to modding and I'm looking for a way to make this joker set your money to 10 at the end of the round, I've looked through the game files a bunch and I'm assuming I'm going to have to manipulate the G.GAME.dollars variable but I'm not sure how to go about this? any help would be super appreciated, this is the code I have so far (based on the example jokers I'm learning from)

[daring fern]

return (-G.GAME.dollars) + 10

[zenith hedge]

im horrible at modding what does this mean

[daring fern]

Code?

[zenith hedge]

alr

[wind steppe]

how would i check if a card has any enhancement?

[daring fern]

next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[daring fern]

You can't return an event.

[zenith hedge]

wdym return an event

[daring fern]

You have an Event in the return

[fierce frost]

how can i make it return multiple messages?

[zenith hedge]

so do i remove the return part

[tepid crow]

nesting them should work?

[daring fern]

No, you move the event out of the return.

[daring fern]

return {message = "1", extra = {message = "2", extra = {message = "3"}}}

[tepid crow]

something like

return {
  message = ...
  delay = ...
  extra = {
      message = ...
      delay = ...
      extra = {
          etc
      }
  }

[fierce frost]

ok

[tepid crow]

no promises on the timing of your text working out though 🤔

[fierce frost]

that's what t&e is for

anyways, how can i crash the game

without the screen that explains why

[tepid crow]

why would you possibly want that

[fierce frost]

reasons

[tepid crow]

I'm wondering if you have any actual good reasons lol

[fierce frost]

no

none of them are good

[tepid crow]

more so that I can give you a better approach to do what you want to do

[fierce frost]

this joker is designed to put the 'joke' in joker

[tepid crow]

as in, cryptid's crash card?

[fierce frost]

yea actually kinda

[tepid crow]

disclaimer that I don't think it's very funny, but love.event.quit() might work

[fierce frost]

very cool

[zenith hedge]

how do i make the images for jokers with a different file than jokers.png

[daring fern]

You make another atlas?

[zenith hedge]

how

[daring fern]

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

[zenith hedge]

dont know what i did wrong

[fierce frost]

is there a way that i could make it say something before crashing? without the return, it crashes, with, it doesnt

[daring fern]

Show the joker?

[zenith hedge]

its a consumable

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

Show the consumable?

[zenith hedge]

and it crashes as soon as it loads

the consumable

[daring fern]

Yes, show the code.

[fierce frost]

do you know how? (when you have the time, no rush)

[zenith hedge]

alright

[daring fern]

You would probably put the crash in an event in a func in the return.

[fierce frost]

is there doc for this?

[daring fern]

No.

[fierce frost]

damn

could you make an example?

[lament agate]

how do you detect a card that is stone enhanced?

[daring fern]

func = function()
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            love.event.quit()
            return true
        end
    }))
end
```?

[daring fern]

SMODS.has_enhancement(card, "m_stone")

[lament agate]

thanks

[fierce frost]

thanks

[midnight coyote]

how do i check the set of a consumable card

in the card object

[daring fern]

card.ability.set

[midnight coyote]

thanks

like this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[midnight coyote]

okay great

[wind steppe]

how would i debuff duplicate jokers in a boss blind?

doesnt seem like boss blinds have config

[feral tree]

??? any help??

[sonic cedar]

dawg your memory

youre using too much memory

[feral tree]

Ah

[sonic cedar]

bumping this

[chrome widget]

Second NES game's ram conditions fulfilled

[sonic cedar]

what.

you did what.

[midnight coyote]

how would i grab all of the suits currently loaded

[chrome widget]

The other game is Donkey Kong. The thing I had to finish was doing certain checks on the NES emulator's ram to determine win/loss states for the joker

Last game to do this for is Dragon's Lair, though I'm having some issues with getting the NTSC version to boot, so I'm seeing if I can just use the PAL version instead and mess with framerate and audio refresh rate so it plays decent

[sonic cedar]

1. My jaw did not leave the floor

2. now make every sprite Balatro themed

[chrome widget]

I've considered doing sprite editing for this!!! Donkey Kong I probably could easy, though the ability to do rom hacking is unfortunately dependent on what other tools people have made for things

One of the biggest issues with Dragon's Lair is that people haven't mapped out its RAM to any decent degree. For TMNT II, I found a half completed one full of errors and did some searching myself in a hex editor

So if I want to do sprite editing for TMNT and DL, I probably have to do some mapping myself to find out where sprite info is stored on the rom

[sonic cedar]

it’d be super awesome but also hell

[wild escarp]

Is this not correct for adding wheel of fortune to info_queue for a voucher description? It doesn't seem to be working.
info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_wheel_of_fortune

[chrome widget]

It's c_

[rapid stag]

remind me what the correct nesting structure for dynatext string is? is it

DynaText({[...] string = { { string = 'A' }, { string = 'B' } } })```,
```lua
DynaText({[...] string = { { { string = 'A' } }, { { string = 'B' } } } })``` or
```lua
DynaText({[...] string = { { { string = 'A' }, { string = 'B' } } } })```

[fierce frost]

why does the one on the left not increase the boss blind size but the right one does decrease boss blind size?

[chrome widget]

Blind:disable() recalculates the chips of the blind based on its original config values. It's how The Wall and Violet Vessel reset their chip values when disabled

[modern kindle]

Now do an oot randomizer

[fierce frost]

but this also doesnt increase the boss blind (it may just not be triggering the actual doubling part)

[rapid stag]

...how would i go about replacing the rarity badge on a joker?

i know that cryptid (and i think also cardsauce?) replace their own mod badges by looking for the colour

[worthy stirrup]

Sorry, we just causally have games in balatro now?

[fierce frost]

i solved it; my best worse idea now works as intended wait nevermind it's not disabling the blind now

[rapid stag]

what your joker code look like now

[fierce frost]

currently it's back to this

[rapid stag]

weird

[fierce frost]

so it'd just disable the blind as of now and skip over the multiplication of chips

[hybrid shadow]

is there a way for a consumable to affect the chips/mult given by level ups

[fierce frost]

kinda like turning cryptid's universum into a consumable ||universum is X2 chips and X2 mult on level up of a hand||

[gusty iron]

is there any reason this isnt working? It should be retriggering all other jokers

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        
        if context.joker_main then
            if context.retrigger then
                
                return {
                    repetitions = 1,
                    card = retrigger_card
                }
            end
        end

        

        if context.retrigger_joker_check and not context.retrigger_joker and context.other_card ~= self then
            for _, joker in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if context.other_card ~= self then
                if context.other_card.bptarget and context.other_card.bptarget ~= 0 then
                    return {
                        repetitions = 1,
                        card = joker
                    }
                else
                    return {
                        repetitions = 1
                    }
                end
            else
                
                return nil, true
            end
            end
        end
    end

[hybrid shadow]

basically except for changing the actual effectiveness of level ups

ig i should also ask if its possible to change the number of level ups a planet gives

[gusty iron]

wait

i think i figured it out

[fierce frost]

ok wait can someone tell me why this works

[sonic cedar]

can someone tell me how to save a joker’s own key to a table within the joker?

[thorn bough]

My joker gains a random amount of mult when playing a hand. Anybody have any idea why?

[merry raven]

How do you make an enhancement trigger its bonuses when it stays in hand, similar to Steel Card
Waded through Balatro's source code for Steel Card and found nothing but configs and parameters instead of the actual functionality

[sonic cedar]

what’s happening here

[subtle merlin]

context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.hand?

[sonic cedar]

which bonus

[merry raven]

Chips

hang on let me try something

[sonic cedar]

does h_chips work or no

[thorn bough]

That, somehow, increases the Emult value. Not the visible one, but the actual one. No, they are not the same. No, I haven't the slightest clue how they got seperated in the first place.

[sonic cedar]

what’s your loc txt

[merry raven]

Damn yeah this worked
I keep thinking that context.main_scoring is only for cards that you play and score

[subtle merlin]

VRemade for the win lol

[sonic cedar]

truth nuke

[subtle merlin]

I'm trying to have a joker remove cards scored with a certain enhancement but no matter what i try it always gives me this error no matter where i put return = { remove = true }

and i know it's only the return crashing it and nothing else bc it works without it

[clear yoke]

turns out the game crashes with just that mod

[sonic cedar]

i.....got nothing........

[clear yoke]

pretend i never said anything

[thorn bough]

That's okay. This pile of flaming garbage is the pinnacle of 2 weeks of constant rewrites. It's a miracle it does anything at all tbh.

[subtle merlin]

Most recent try, still for naught

[fierce frost]

do we think this is a fair effect for an uncommon (i will take literally any suggestions as to how to nerf this, this is way too strong)

[pastel kernel]

Make it a rare joker

[rapid stag]

yeah, disabling all boss blinds is incredibly strong. some mods even go out of their way to penalise boss blind disabling because of how strong it is conceptually.

you should also copy chicot's wording for that part of the ability, too

[thorn furnace]

Isn't doubling all blind requirements just plasma deck

[fierce frost]

im considering adding a boss blind that just kinda does nothing unless you disable it

[fierce frost]

yes

[rapid stag]

speaking of rarity, bump

[rapid stag]

@tall wharf

[fierce frost]

i very briefly saw one of my other jokers and i just see this on my screen for like half a second

[rapid stag]

...where... where is the code that applies the rarity badge to a joker...?

[hasty mist]

What happened here??? it was JUST working??? i havent touched this code in days

[subtle merlin]

can we see line 38?

[subtle merlin]

Oh it's UI, have fun with that

[hasty mist]

😭

[subtle merlin]

-# it's been an hour of the same fucking error im growing annoyed of this shit

[hasty mist]

oh my fucking god this makes zero sense

this code worked just fine twenty minutes ago

something this code is identical to how it works in cryptid's oil lamp

and also, again it worked twenty minutes ago

i have not even opened this file in days

[subtle merlin]

have you not touched anything in the code?

[hasty mist]

nothing

the file has not even been opened recently

like

[subtle merlin]

try restarting your computer and/or updating SMODS and Lovely, sometimes perfect code breaks for no reason at least in my experience

[hasty mist]

alright

[manic rune]

chicken jockey

[manic rune]

this is where the lua extension comes into play!

[hasty mist]

please read my latest messages

[manic rune]

can you show me the entire code

[hasty mist]

oh i think i fixed it

i reinstalled smods (i already had the latest commit, but doing this fixed it anyways)

[manic rune]

huh

first time seeing a syntax error from your mod fixed by reinstalling/updating smods

guess anything can happen at this poitn

[hasty mist]

cosmit bitflip /s

anyways, cryptid server is dead so

does anyone know how to banish a card?

[daring fern]

You mean like Delete from Cryptid?

[hasty mist]

yeah, but the code for delete is so incredibly complicated i dont even know where to start with it

not the most simple thing ever

[daring fern]

I think this is the main part:

[subtle merlin]

Fixed it, idk why the draw_card caused that crash, but at least it's fixed

oh fuck i think it worked???

wh

[hasty mist]

holy shit me when a consumable actually works first try

[rapid stag]

...i'm so lost. i've been rifling through vanilla code, but it seems to just... apply the localised rarity text to the badges table? there's nothing i can find about processing it into a badge anywhere

[daring fern]

Yes, most badges get made by one thing in the G.UIDEF.card_h_popup function.

[rapid stag]

...so if i hook SMODS.Rarity:get_rarity_badge() i can alter the vanilla rarity badges?

[daring fern]

Perhaps.

[hybrid shadow]

bump

[rapid stag]

nevermind, found it.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hybrid shadow]

cool, so i can actually design the consumable without worrying then

[hybrid shadow]

related note

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hybrid shadow]

alr

[hasty mist]

how do you add a consumable category?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype ?

[subtle merlin]

Can confirm, this is it

[lament agate]

how do you detect a card being retriggered?

[daring fern]

You would have to hook SMODS.calculate_repetitions I think.

[runic pecan]

Counting how many time it scores in context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and then wipe it in context.after.
I would code context.other_card.retrigger_count = (context.other_card.retrigger_count or -1) + 1

[daring fern]

Why would it start at -1?

[lament agate]

how would i do that

[lament agate]

and ill try this for the time being

[runic pecan]

So that it doesn't count the first time of scoring (which is not the result of retriggering).

[merry raven]

Does anybody know how to spawn sprites on the screen? Where would I start if I want to:

• display sprites taken from an atlas
• use conditionals that will change those sprites' textures
• remove those sprites
• consider them a "card" in order to use animations such as flip() and juice_up()

[lament agate]

so here's what I'm planning, a joker that gains certain mult or chips if there's not a single card getting retriggered by something

[hasty mist]

this seems like a pretty easy crash to fix, wondering what i did wrong here

[runic pecan]

Then I'd suggest if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then if context.other_card.scored then context.other_card.retriggered = true else context.other_card.scored = true end end if context.after then local no_retrigger = true for _,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do v.scored = nil if v.retriggered then no_retrigger = false v.retriggered = nil end end if no_retrigger then [upgrade] end end

[runic pecan]

Or, alternatively, if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then context.other_card.scoring_count = (context.other_card.scoring_count or 0) + 1 end if context.after then local no_retrigger = true for _,v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do if (v.scoring_count or 0) > 1 then no_retrigger = false end v.scoring_count = nil end if no_retrigger then [upgrade] end end

[hasty mist]

im pretty sure ive followed documentation

[lament agate]

thank you so much

[manic rune]

question

why is consumeabletype key "anomalous", but in the consumable's set its "Anomalous"? 🤔

[hasty mist]

dw about that extra comma i already fixed it

[manic rune]

also, you might want to check if it needs mod prefix too, i forgot if it needs that

[hasty mist]

hm let me think

about what you mean

[daring fern]

ConsumableTypes don't use prefixes.

[manic rune]

i see

[hasty mist]

oh i think i see

you were right

case issue

[merry raven]

if splinter_of_verity then
                -- Limit rank pool to face cards and Aces (11-13)
                local random_rank_index = math.random(11, 13)
                local new_rank = SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer[random_rank_index]
            else
                -- Normal randomization
                local random_rank_index = math.random(1, #SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer)
                local new_rank = SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer[random_rank_index]
            end

So I have made a card that randomizes its suit and rank every time you score it, and I have made a Joker that limits its pool of ranks to face cards and Aces
But how do I take into account into potential modded ranks? Is there even a way to detect face cards and Aces more modularly?

[daring fern]

Firstly, use pseudorandom please, Secondly, rank.face and there will never be more than one Ace rank.

[merry raven]

Is there documentation on pseudorandom somewhere

[daring fern]

No.

If something is a vanilla function it is likely not documented.

[merry raven]

Oh it's a vanilla function?

Huh

[hasty mist]

it should be the same as math.random but with an arbitrary string

so instead of math.random(1, #SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer) it would be pseudorandom("string", 1, #SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer)

Can decks not use ability?

[daring fern]

Yes, because they are decks, not cards.

[merry raven]

Cheers

[hasty mist]

what should i do instead?

this is what im trying to do

[hasty mist]

glad to help!

[merry raven]

What's the difference between pseudorandom and pseudorandom_element?

[hasty mist]

i have no idea 😭

[daring fern]

pseudorandom_element is for getting a random element from a table.

[daring fern]

self.config

[hasty mist]

i just did this instead lmao

[merry raven]

So is it places like this one that I should use pseudorandom_element?

[daring fern]

Doesn't that make checking init == false useless?

[hasty mist]

does it?

[daring fern]

Yes, because you are setting it to false then checking if it is false

[hasty mist]

well yeah

[daring fern]

Yes.

[hasty mist]

its only supposed to happen on the very first call

first time its called its set to true

then never gets called again

that is intended

[daring fern]

Then it will be set to false again.

[hasty mist]

oh i see what you mean

that is troubling

ughhh

oh ik how to fix this

[merry raven]

Hmm don't think I'm doing it right, seems like it only returns numbers
I went from this
local selected_enhancement = void_enhancements[math.random(#void_enhancements)]
to this
local selected_enhancement = void_enhancements[pseudorandom_element(#void_enhancements, pseudoseed('void_enhancement'))]

[daring fern]

local selected_enhancement = pseudorandom_element(void_enhancements, pseudoseed('void_enhancement'))

[merry raven]

Oh damn

[stoic fulcrum]

can context.other_joker be called upon doing something specific (ie, selling a card or starting blind) or does it only work after scoring?
(would also like an example if it is possible)

[merry raven]

How would I go about using pseudorandom on a range of values, say like a number between 1 to 10

[unborn bay]

no as decks are not cards

[hasty mist]

ive figured it out

[unborn bay]

they have effect then effect.config which points to its config

[hasty mist]

i used a global variable instead

[unborn bay]

also wtf is this 😭

[daring fern]

pseudorandom("seed", 1, 10)

[hasty mist]

dw i fixed it

[unborn bay]

why not just put that in apply lmao

[merry raven]

Alright, thank you!

[hasty mist]

i realized the issue

[hasty mist]

because apply occurs at an extremely inconvenient time

and it does not work

[unborn bay]

just put it in an event then

[hasty mist]

i can try later

[candid sleet]

none of these are even printing the joker just does nothing oops. any suggestions? trying to convert played glass cards into base + polychrome

[stoic fulcrum]

i have this code (without a proper conditional besides if the second joker exists in hand for testing) and it only seems to take effect after playing a hand. so i'm wondering if i can make this trigger elsewhere or if it's just after playing a hand

[burnt cairn]

looking at the midas mask code, at for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do what does k represent

[merry raven]

Alright hang on I'm trying to get the hang of using pseudorandom more

Is this correct, from
local random_joker = G.jokers.cards[math.random(1, #G.jokers.cards)]
to
local random_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('arc_joker'))

[daring fern]

Yes.

[unborn bay]

other joker really only exists for joker main as it is used for applying effects on other jokers

if you want an effect to depend on another joker use SMODS.find_card

[merry raven]

Do I need to specify a "1"? Like this example: pseudorandom("string", 1, #SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer)

[unborn bay]

if context.whatever and next(SMODS.find_card("j_fucking"))

[burnt cairn]

is it just like. the index of how many times its looped through the function

[daring fern]

Yes.

[unborn bay]

k is the index

[merry raven]

Gotcha

[burnt cairn]

ok cool 🫡 wasnt sure

[merry raven]

local random_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, 1, pseudoseed('arc_joker'))
Seems about right

[hasty mist]

i dont think my operator calculations are entirely accurate

[stoic fulcrum]

yeah that's what i do with my other jokers, only issue is that the code returns endlessly unless they have a proper conditional
and i also can't get it to detect whether a specific joker is sold, i tried destroy.card but that only seems to work for the played hand which is so lame

[daring fern]

It would be the key if you're using pairs

[hasty mist]

i only got a few million on a flush using pentation

[merry raven]

Sorry if I keep posting here, I need to really make sure that it's correct so I know what to change the hundreds of math.randoms in my code without agonizingly testing every single one of them

[burnt cairn]

im not using anything atm im just trying to understand the midas mask code

[stoic fulcrum]

(i feel like i've asked the "detect if a specific joker is sold/destroyed" question like 10 times and i haven't gotten a proper answer )

[burnt cairn]

[simple helm]

Idk how to do it, but if youve extracted balatro.exe you can see the campire joker code, and transform it :P

I don't have access to it rn

[burnt cairn]

specific joker

not any card

[daring fern]

Is it the joker itself?

[stoic fulcrum]

yeah this, context.selling_card doesn't seem to work for specific jokers

[stoic fulcrum]

no, another specific joker

[daring fern]

For destroyed you need to make a new context.

[hasty mist]

ok there is something wrong here for sure, 85^^^^8 is definetely way larger than that

[simple helm]

context.other_joker:get_id() == 'his joker'

[hasty mist]

i am so confused

[subtle merlin]

siiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhh i said id do it awhile ago, send me the code you have bc it's more up to date and ill do it

[daring fern]

get_id doesn't work for jokers.

[stoic fulcrum]

without the context it just destroyed the played hand? so idk if it even works if you make a context for another joker

[loud gorge]

why does it create a lovelyignore?

[simple helm]

I thought it worked like that lol

[daring fern]

For sold it is context.selling_card and context.card.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_key"

[daring fern]

No, you need to make a new context.

[stoic fulcrum]

SMODS.destroy_cards(card) specifically @daring fern
it does not work with trying to call for a joker, it just destroys the played hand

[daring fern]

You need to make a new context.

SMODS.destroys also doesn't exist.

[stoic fulcrum]

fixed

[stoic fulcrum]

i guess i'll try this again, but it didn't work the last 3 times i tried to add this context

[daring fern]

Specifically by hooking Card:remove()

[stoic fulcrum]

oh now it works???
ok sure whatever
i'm assuming it's context.destroy_card if i want to call for the card being destroyed? (via ankh, hex or a similar effect)

[daring fern]

No.

context.destroy_card is for destroying playing cards.

[merry raven]

Are Aces always 13 when I use card:get_id(), regardless if there are modded ranks or not?

[stoic fulcrum]

then i'd have to use SMODS.destroy_cards(card)?
i'm assuming by adding context and hooking Card:remove()
or for the ceremonial dagger effect, i'd have to call getting_sliced?

[misty gorge]

Yeah I still don't know how to fix this

[daring fern]

No.

[stoic fulcrum]

then how do i call context for a specific joker being destroyed

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[stoic fulcrum]

would i add this to calculate or have it separate? (like the four fingers function)

i'm gonna assume i just add it to the calculate, let's try

[daring fern]

No.

[merry raven]

local random_rank_index
            if splinter_of_verity then
                random_rank_index = math.random(11, 13)
            else
                random_rank_index = pseudorandom("dissected_rank", 1, #SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer)
            end

I know it's using math.random right now but there's another problem

I'm a bit confused on how I'm gonna go about using rank.face to force my rank-changing enhancement to use faces only and also lump in a way to include Aces too

[stoic fulcrum]

ok outside of calculate it is

[daring fern]

SMODS.Ranks[key].face

[burnt cairn]

am i reading this right

[daring fern]

nil means nothing.

[merry raven]

What should be in key's place or is it a constant

[daring fern]

The key for the rank.

[merry raven]

Oh the ids from get_id?

[burnt cairn]

so what's being made nil in this function then

[daring fern]

initial

[burnt cairn]

i will assume i dont need to know what that is 🫡 thanks

im reading the rest of it correctly right

[merry raven]

Oh no wait it's literally just the key of the rank and not the id

[daring fern]

Yes.

[merry raven]

But I still don't understand what to put in the key field of SMODS.Ranks[key].face because I can't really account for every single mod now and in the future that has custom face ranks
What if people made more than the usual 3 face cards?

[candid sleet]

this isn't doing anything what am i missing here? (just trying to make them lose the glass for now, will try do the polychrome once i've got the first part)

[daring fern]

You would loop over SMODS.Ranks and check if v.face

[merry raven]

Alright I'll take a look

[candid sleet]

typo'd cardarea gg

[burnt cairn]

games crashing when i enter a blind
[SMODS GRATLATRO "main.lua"]:352: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil)

im sure its something very silly im just missing

[daring fern]

When do you want to do the enhancing?

[burnt cairn]

at the start of the hand before the cards are scored

ie the same as midas mask

[daring fern]

Add and context.before to the first check.

[burnt cairn]

so i was just missing a context

easy

[loud gorge]

is there a way to retrigger the tutorial? I want to add a card that does that along with other multipliers, but with the tutorial not affecting gameplay.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[loud gorge]

Im new to this, you wanna help me with the mod mayb?

[paper zealot]

I get that this is just a bit that you do when someone asks an open-ended yes-or-no question, but it's not super helpful

[loud gorge]

oh :/

[candid sleet]

ok when it goes to make the card polychrome it insteads overlaps a standard +4 mult joker sprite over the card and then it crashes?

[paper zealot]

Calling G.FUNCS.start_tutorial() should be enough

You can try it with DebugPlus by running eval G.FUNCS.start_tutorial() in the console

[loud gorge]

any programs you recommend for starters? Im new to this and am just clueless frfr.

[merry raven]

...
local new_rank_key = pseudorandom_element(face_ranks, pseudoseed('dissected_rank'))
                local new_rank = SMODS.Ranks[new_rank_key]
                print("New Rank Key: " .. new_rank_key)
            else
                local new_rank_index = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer, pseudoseed('dissected_rank'))
                local new_rank = SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer[new_rank_index]
                print("New Rank Index: " .. new_rank_index)
            end

            local new_rank_id = [something to get the ID of new_rank]

How do I fetch the ID from a rank key? card:get_id() doesn't really work because there are no references to cards here

[daring fern]

SMODS.Ranks[key].id

[merry raven]

Unfortunately got an error
I did this: local new_rank_id = SMODS.Rank[new_rank].id, but it seemed like it couldn't capture the rank keys? It just did in the print messages I added before, but not in here?

[daring fern]

SMODS.Ranks

[merry raven]

Oooooh

Still nothing, maybe I need to do tostring to add quotation marks to the key?

[merry raven]

Yeah nah still doesn't work, even with or without tostring
With tostring: local new_rank_id = SMODS.Ranks[tostring(new_rank)].id
Without: local new_rank_id = SMODS.Ranks[new_rank].id

[daring fern]

What is new_rank here?

[merry raven]

local random_rank_index
            if splinter_of_verity then
                local face_ranks = {}
                for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Ranks) do
                    if v.face or k == "Ace" then
                        table.insert(face_ranks, k)
                    end
                end
                local new_rank_key = pseudorandom_element(face_ranks, pseudoseed('dissected_rank'))
                local new_rank = SMODS.Ranks[new_rank_key]
                print("New Rank Key: " .. new_rank_key)
            else
                local new_rank_index = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer, pseudoseed('dissected_rank'))
                local new_rank = SMODS.Rank.obj_buffer[new_rank_index]
                print("New Rank Index: " .. new_rank_index)
            end

new_rank is the rank key, and there are two cases, one for if the "Splinter of Verity" joker is present and one without

[merry raven]

You can see the results in these images

"New Rank Index" is when it doesn't have Splinter of Verity, "New Rank Key" is when it does

Misleading print logs, I know, but they're still both keys

[candid sleet]

how would i make info queue include info for polychrome too? new to using info queue

[snow vale]

huh?

it's a challenge

[loud gorge]

is there like dev tools?

like something like guarantee a joker in shop or something

Check your debug plus

[loud gorge]

i mean i just put the debug in the mods folder and it exploded

[sand sandal]

bro you can't tell me how much i hate lua's loose typing

[formal parrot]

Make sure it’s not nested

(Folder inside of a folder )

[loud gorge]

it was

[feral tree]

Does Info_queue work on cards and can i have multiple?

[formal parrot]

I’m the #1 lua return statement hater

[formal parrot]

Yes

Ofc

[sand sandal]

you see i don't use return

im based like that

[formal parrot]

Technically it works on enhanced cards

[formal parrot]

I wish i was you

[feral tree]

So how do i set it?

[formal parrot]

Check the wiki

I think you need an enhancement tho

[sand sandal]

well you should read my bio to know why i don't use return

[formal parrot]

RUST dev?

like the game rust

[sand sandal]

the language

[formal parrot]

Oh lmfao

My bad

Not familiar with rust

What is it mainly used for

[sand sandal]

thinking of making a simple balatro mod w/ rust but maybe ffi may incurs a lot of performance penalty

[formal parrot]

I believe you got this

[shell timber]

would be quite silly

[formal parrot]

:P

Isn’t balatro coded in lua

How are you gonna do that :S

[paper zealot]

Reading the crash explains the crash (sometimes, but in this case definitely)

[paper zealot]

You call a compiled Rust library with the C bindings that Lua provides

[formal parrot]

Reading the boss blind explains the boss blind

[paper zealot]

You may be addicted to Rust - recommend seeking professional medical help

[formal parrot]

Thats pretty cool

[candid sleet]

when using SMODS.add_card how do you prevent it adding a consumable while at max consumable slots used?

[sand sandal]

luajit has c ffi

[snow vale]

how can i create a custom rule for a challenge?

[formal parrot]

restrictions={}

And rules={}

Just check the wiki

[sand sandal]

oh well im thinking of making yet another balatro mod based on a gacha game

[formal parrot]

Which gacha game

[sand sandal]

(iykyk)

[snow vale]

yeah, but, how do i create a functional one?

[formal parrot]

We already have a hsr one

[sand sandal]

the one my pfp comes from

[formal parrot]

In development

I believe thats hsr

No?

[sand sandal]

i pretty much only play only one gacha game now

[sand sandal]

nah, arknights

[formal parrot]

Reading the wiki explains the wiki

[formal parrot]

I used to play wuwa ,

[formal parrot]

Interesting

[sand sandal]

concept edition:

• oirginium card: x1.5 mult, destroyed after 3 turns, when destroyed, spread effect to nearby cards

[formal parrot]

Adjacent cards ?

That’s a really interesting concept

[sand sandal]

yeah, works on both played hand and uh, not-played card

[formal parrot]

I never thought about this before

[formal parrot]

So the effect triggers in hand or played

[sand sandal]

this is pretty much how oripathy works, also if you are interested this game also has 3 anime seasons

[formal parrot]

3 ?

[sand sandal]

im thinking of played,

[formal parrot]

Thats 3 more than genshin impact

Lmfao

[sand sandal]

i mean the 3rd season will premiere in 4th july or something

[formal parrot]

It sound like better steel cards

[gaunt thistle]

it's ok me too

[sand sandal]

🃏

civitas sankta

[formal parrot]

Can you tell me the story of the anime ?

[paper zealot]

Also this isn't an opinion that you asked for, but I think normalising distributing compiled libraries within Balatro mods would be a bad move for the community. It's much harder to audit and verify compiled code, and it makes it nearly impossible for other modders to learn from your mod without making the snowball a little bigger in the process.

[formal parrot]

I might watch it

[sand sandal]

it's pretty muc the story of the game itself, the anime currently covers act 0 and act 1

[subtle merlin]

Arknights was mentioned

[sand sandal]

thx

(too bad im shit at drawing)

[crisp coral]

arknights is mentioned

[sand sandal]

arknights has less sleeper agents than LC

[formal parrot]

Yeah and whats the story of the game😭

[crisp coral]

oh cmon

[subtle merlin]

*more

[sand sandal]

you will uh follow the story of the creator of the worst disease on a planet and his journey to cure it and his wacky companions, against his yandere omnipotent exwife

@subtle merlin did i described it accurately 😭

[subtle merlin]

Idfk I don't play for the story

[formal parrot]

70% of the game thrown out of the window

[subtle merlin]

I only know the lore of chapter 0, 1, and 14

[formal parrot]

Just put the fries in the bag

[pastel kernel]

how do you make legendary joker portraits

[sand sandal]

anyway here's some of my jokers idea:

• Amiya [Rare]: gains 0.1x mult for each destroyed originium cards
• DWDB-221E [Uncommon]: creates originium

[pastel kernel]

first the background, then the joker dude

[sand sandal]

you can look at the example ig

[subtle merlin]

Summarized lore:

Prelude: You're a doctor!
0: Oooo, bad guys!
1: More bad guys!
2: Drone strikes
3: Drone strikes and GRASS!!
4-7: irrelevant
8: welcome to Hoth!
9-13: idk
14: S T A R E I N T O T H E F A C E O F G O D

    pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
    -- soul_pos sets the soul sprite, only used in vanilla for legendary jokers and Hologram.
    soul_pos = { x = 4, y = 1 },

[sand sandal]

localized text

[loud gorge]

[subtle merlin]

It's where you put your name and text to get it to appear

[subtle merlin]

No, look at the wiki and it should be easily visible

[loud gorge]

it should read 1 in 4 and the 1 in 4 is working fine i just dont know how to get it to read

[sand sandal]

just 1 in 6 or something

[subtle merlin]

I don't want to have to build another E2 90 character my last one took a solid week -_-

[candid sleet]

[sand sandal]

loc_txt = {
        name = 'Gros Michel 2',
        text = {

N O T E N O U G H

[crisp coral]

.

[loud gorge]

but it isnt in the en-us

[sand sandal]

maam your ears are big as hell

[subtle merlin]

WOW I missed a lot

sigh I'm going to spend the next 2 and 1/2 months playing it constantly before burning myself out, aren't I?

[unborn bay]

this channel is becoming modding chat 2 with all this offtopic discussion

[subtle merlin]

Yea, sorry

[subtle merlin]

Elaborate?

[stoic fulcrum]

i've managed to hook card.remove() but i've hit a bit of a snag
how would i make it detect that only a specific card/joker gets destroyed? the way it seems to work right now is that it triggers the upgrade when any joker is destroyed which is not what i want
if i try to add context.card.config.center.key to the calculate call or the card.remove() hook it crashes because either context is a nil value, or card is a nil value

[sand sandal]

i mean we have uh, lappland alter

[subtle merlin]

I tried to get her, failed, just like wis

[loud gorge]

loc_txt isnt used in en-us atleast in the sample mod i used

[stoic fulcrum]

i tried using SMODS.find_card but that makes it seem like the effect only works when the joker is present, which means the effect also triggers if the joker is present and a random unrelated joker is destroyed

adding context.card (or anything similar like other_card) to make context.card.config.center.key not crash just seems to break the function altogether

[stoic fulcrum]

why is this on balatro modding 😭

[subtle merlin]

please try looking at VRemade, Paperback, More Fluff, just any mod that adds jokers, go to their joker.lua and every single one should have an example of loc_txt

[subtle merlin]

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope

[subtle merlin]

We get a lil sidetracked :3c

[loud gorge]

I thought it was all managed in en-us but now i know where to look thanks

[tawdry oriole]

how could i change the gamespeed after entering a boss blind?

[candid sleet]

is there a template anywhere for a blueprint joker? i tried just copying over the stuff from vanilla but i don't really understand it too well

[subtle merlin]
