i think i might add all the missing things to vanillaremade today

[obtuse silo]

  if G.jokers[x].joker.edition and G.jokers[x].joker.edition.key = "Negative" then
    --insert effect--
end

does that work or do i just refer to the joker as G.jokers[x].edition?

[red flower]

the syntax has more problems than that

let me write it down

[regal bridge]

whatta i need ta do

[midnight coyote]

how does vanilla ride the bus check its total increment

😭

[stiff quiver]

can someone explain to me why the thing in joker_main works but the thing in before doesnt ```lua
if context.joker_main then
print("AAA")
return { message = "AAAAAAAAAAA"}
end
if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
print("1")
end

it genunely just feels like smods hates me

[formal parrot]

You don’t need card area in before

[red flower]

for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    local joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
    if joker.edition and joker.edition.key == "e_negative" then -- joker.edition.negative also works
        -- effect
    end
end

[stiff quiver]

ok thanks that worked

[red flower]

have you heard of this great resource called vanilla remade

[midnight coyote]

no i need the vanilla way specifically

i need to see it's variables

i dont need it done to smods spec

i need to see how the base game does it

[red flower]

search for it in the code?

[midnight coyote]

what file would i look into

[midnight coyote]

interesting

okay

i think i see what to do

[wintry solar]

What’s the reason for specificsllly needing the vanilla way?

[midnight coyote]

im probably gonna have to patch this in 🫠

[midnight coyote]

i need to get the current mult, and do something during the scaling/reset process

so i needed to know how the game handled it

im modifying vanilla jokers rn

lovely patching saves the day

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'card.lua'
pattern = '''local last_mult = self.ability.mult'''
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
    if last_mult >= 25 then
        CHAR.FUNC.overclock_proc({card=self,key="j_charcuterie_metro_lines"})
    end
'''

works

wonderful

[red flower]

#G.jokers.cards

[obtuse silo]

ah

same error

[red flower]

i didnt actually look at the error give me a sec

[red flower]

can i see how the code looks like now

[obtuse silo]

it's the exact same but line 471 is now for i=1, #G.jokers.cards do

[red flower]

oh

G.hand:change_size

with a :

[obtuse silo]

dunno how i didn't pick that one up
i literally already have a joker that adds hand size

[serene granite]

im trying rly hard to make a joker that has text that dynically updates as the joker scales, but im struggling to make the text update, any advice? i looked at the Vampite example joker but im not quite getting there

[tawdry oriole]

i'm trying to make it so a tag has a certain chance to generate a joker in shop and while the "generating a joker" part works i can't figure out the probability one - if it does fail, it shows "nope!" but retries until it generates a joker. how would i make it so it doesn't retry?

[red flower]

tag:nope()

[gilded blaze]

there might be things you wouldn't understand right away, I recommend looking at other mods' code first:

• hook Game:init_game_object() and add your own variable to track hands played per ante
• hook Game:update_hand__played(dt) and increment your variable here (make sure it only happens once because this method is called every frame during a hand scoring)
• depending on how you define your per ante logic, hook the correct function (e.g. ease_ante if any ante change resets the count)
• finally, in your blind's set_blind function, transfer the extra value to G.GAME.blind.chips (do the math yourself)
  another thing: if you intend to have the blind update its required score when you're facing it, even more hooks are needed

[tawdry oriole]

^ trying something out rn

oh is it really just

😭

[red flower]

yeah

[tawdry oriole]

damn my bad

[regal bridge]

is a start

[red flower]

can i see the code you have rn?

[rugged pier]

Is it a variable that changes or the whole text?

Would dynatext help here?

[serene granite]

how do i write it out in code on discord without it looking like a text block

[red flower]

dynatext is mostly to do animated text or stuff like misprint that has preset values

```lua
```

[rugged pier]

Beat me to it

[rugged pier]

Ah

[serene granite]

i did it wrong oops

[gilded blaze]

G.STATE == G.GAME.round_resets.ante is a very bold choice

like, it has no relation whatsoever

[serene granite]

ughhh

[regal bridge]

i'm very new to modding as you can se

[red flower]

`

that one

[serene granite]

ohhh

        extra = {
            xmult = 1.0,
            xmult_gain = 0.2
        }
    },

    loc_txt = {
        name = "Frog",
        text = {
            '{X:mult,C:white}+{V:1}{} Mult per {C:spades}Spade{} destroyed',
            '{C:inactive}Current Mult: {X:mult,C:white}X{V:2}{}'
        }
    },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                string.format("%.1f", card.ability.extra.xmult_gain),
                string.format("%.1f", card.ability.extra.xmult)
            }
        }
    end,```

[red flower]

you don't need to format the string yourself

#1# in loc_txt would correspond to xmult_gain and #2# to xmult
see: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[serene granite]

ohhhhhhhhh

[red flower]

{V:1} is for color

[serene granite]

only for color?

[red flower]

yes
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling#variablecustom-text-colour-modifier-v

[gilded blaze]

I recommend starting with jokers

your showdown blind idea is just too overwhelming for a starter

[serene granite]

thank you for all the help, ill work on it !

[wind steppe]

how would i check (in an unlock condition) if ive beaten a specific deck on gold stake?

[stiff quiver]

this return isnt returning the xmult part because of the function after, how would i fix it? ```lua
return {xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult, func = SMODS.destroy_cards(context.other_card)}

[tall wharf]

i think @wintry solar forgor to update stable branch

[formal parrot]

Are you sure you need to put the function in the return

[red flower]

func = function()
    SMODS.destroy_cards(context.other_card)
end

but also save context.other_card to a local first

[stiff quiver]

thanks both of you!

[formal parrot]

Me when i give hits so you try to fix it an learn instead of giving solutions LMAO

[red flower]

that makes it so the card is destroyed after the xmult message

[wind steppe]

bump

[gleaming yew]

in the uh
deck skin example
what is the icon thing for?

[tawdry shale]

not sure why but when you open the game, the first card is an ace of spades in the middle of the balatro logo and starts shuffling through cards, whenever it changes from the ace to another card, i get this error:
card.lua:268: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

[pale holly]

    key = "solSister",
        loc_txt= {
        name = 'Sol Sister',

     if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint then

                }
            end
        end
    end
}```

Hey so i've 2 questions :
How do i make the loc_vars to update the probability depending of my prayluck ? (right now prayluck does increase the probabilities of my joker but won't update it in its description)

And how do i make the Saved part NOT saying 'saved by Mr bones' ?

[red flower]

right now prayluck does increase the probabilities of my joker but won't update it in its description

does it? I don't think the logic there will work at all

And how do i make the Saved part NOT saying 'saved by Mr bones' ?

return a localization key to an entry in your localization file

what's actually happening is that
G.GAME.probabilities.normal + prayluck / card.ability.extra.odds
will always be
G.GAME.probabilities.normal + 0 / card.ability.extra.odds
which is equal to G.GAME.probabilities.normal

pemdas stuff

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to do the opposite of forced_key (in a booster) and create anything but a certain rarity?

[pale holly]

well i was thinking it would considering prayluck is a set local before just that, adn it seemed to actually work as far as i tested, though maybe i should do it differently for it work, not sure
also thanks for the localisation file, didn't even used one yet, probably should

[red flower]

local variables reset every time you call calculate so it wont keep the value

[pale holly]

Ah damn

Is there any way to make the idea i have still work or something ?

[red flower]

it's a bit complicated, you would need to do what SMODS.poll_rarity does but exclude the rarity you want

[red flower]

yeah, save it to card.ability.extra.prayluck
you can also use that in loc_vars

you will also need to fix the line (G.GAME.probabilities.normal + card.ability.extra.prayluck) / card.ability.extra.odds

[tawdry oriole]

couldn't i just repeat SMODS.poll_rarity until it isn't said rarity to exclude? its weight is really low anyways (.0005) but it still appears too frequently in boosters

[red flower]

probably

[tawdry oriole]

i'll try that then

[sour garden]

is there an easy way to count the number of tarot cards you have in your consumables? i've been able to count the total amount of consumables, but the documentation for checking for tarots that i've found only applies when using or creating them

[pale holly]

wouldn't i need to then set prayluck in config tab ? I know i originally tried to do this but since prayluck wasn't an actual think it was crashing when using a consumables, unless in this case i just need card.ability.extra.prayluck without needing it to be used in the config part

[red flower]

yes you would

[red flower]

local count = 0
for _, consumable in ipairs(G.consumeables.cards) do
  if consumable.ability.set == "Tarot" then
    count = count + 1
  end
end

[sour garden]

thank you omg

[pale holly]

sorry had to correct something
but basically something like this then should work ?

[regal bridge]

what are all the contexts/

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

yes, but you're missing the card.ability.extra when you reset it to 0

[snow vale]

is there any way to redirect destroying cards? (like, if the ceremonial dagger is about to destroy a card, it destroys a different joker instead)

[red flower]

I think you can do that with the new destroying context

[pale holly]

Oh yeah right, corrected it, thanks i should see if it works now

[snow vale]

do i have to update lovely or smods?

[red flower]

you would have to use smods dev yes

i would wait a couple of days for the release tho

[snow vale]

hmm ok

ill delay that ability then

[wintry solar]

😭 I did

The new context would allow it to be blocked, I guess you could destroy a different card within it too

[red flower]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[snow vale]

also how can i make a joker that gains mult when any joker is destroyed?

[red flower]

also with the new context :3

[solemn shuttle]

been digging around but couldn't find any examples off the top of my head, but is there any way to have it so an enhancement can't be debuffed?

i.e.

Enhancement Name
X1.5 Mult
Immune to debuffs
Rare Enhancement Custom badge I made here at the bottom etc etc

[manic rune]

maybeeee a bit too much, but this is what i did

[red flower]

SMODS.debuff_card(card, "prevent_debuff", "source") in set_ability

[manic rune]

oh that exists??

[red flower]

yes

[manic rune]

sob

[solemn shuttle]

yep that worked perfectly thank you lmao

[pale holly]

I had to tweak a bit the loc_vars in order to properly display the odds with prayluck, but it works now ! Thanks again !

[snow vale]

can the context context.destroy_cardbe used with jokers?

[red flower]

no

[tawdry shale]

do only jokers have the ability to save runs?

like i'm thinking about making a seal that does the same thing that mr bones does

a seal that if it's the last hand and the total is less than the blind requirement, it'll take the first scored card of the hand, save the run but also remove the seal from the card

[red flower]

tested in a blind and it worked so i dont see why a seal wouldnt

you might need to enable the discard optional area tho

[tawdry shale]

sorry but what does that mean

[sonic cedar]

is pseudorandom only a straight range, or can i make it select only the odd numbers of a given range?

like if i said (1,10) can i make so it only picks 1, 3,5, 7 or 9?

[manic rune]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = { cardareas = {discard = true}} maybe?

[red flower]

cards dont calculate in the discard area by default and thats where the card with the seal would be

but idk maybe not

[red flower]

no, you can do modulo probably

[manic rune]

local rand = pseudorandom("idk",0,4)
rand = (rand * 2) + 1

🤔

[red flower]

thank you bepis for being good at math

[manic rune]

i wish i could say the same for myself

[sonic cedar]

can this go in a calculate’s return still?

not the local part ofc but

[manic rune]

its a number

[sonic cedar]

ok true lmao

thanks guys

[formal parrot]

I can confirm

[gleaming yew]

How do I put multiple deck skins into one Lua?

[sonic cedar]

quick doublecheck

[manic rune]

...why is that in return

[tawdry oriole]

not too sure why that crashes

[manic rune]

SMODS.modify_rank, i mean

[sonic cedar]

it gave errors when not in it

[manic rune]

wha

and it works when its in there??

[sonic cedar]

idk either???

[sonic cedar]

well im still coding it lmao
but here

[snow vale]

peak new context

[sonic cedar]

no idea how deck skins work but can you not just
do it again under the first one or no

[gleaming yew]

I've tried multiple ways of that

[manic rune]

try assert(SMODS.modify_rank(context.other_card, rand))

[sonic cedar]

bet

[manic rune]

put it outside return btw

[feral cove]

hi guys how diabolical is it to use math.random instead of pseudorandom for a heavy seed dependent game like balatro

[manic rune]

id abuse reentering the run until i get the good rng

[gleaming yew]

}

SMODS.DeckSkin {
    key```
and
```    },
    key```
with it being continued after that

[gleaming yew]

evil.

[sonic cedar]

ik dw it worked
this wont affect the mult will it

[normal crest]

depends on what you use it for

[manic rune]

doesnt look like it, no

[sonic cedar]

nice

[feral cove]

was considering giving it to a boss blind

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/DeckSkinTemplate/DeckSkinTemplate.lua

[tawdry oriole]

how would you even replace a math.random(val1, val2) with pseudorandom?

[feral cove]

math.random chance to get 3 effects all of which are bad

[normal crest]

pseudorandom(seed, min, max)

[manic rune]

srockw beat me to it

[gleaming yew]

yes that's the mod i used as a base

[manic rune]

yeah, what they said

[modern kindle]

👋

[sonic cedar]

hi dilly

[manic rune]

hi dil

[modern kindle]

Hi hi

[pale holly]

okay so i've used a localization file to make my string but, how do i actually make it work ? i've tried like on the right but didn't work

[sonic cedar]

do you mean multiple of the deckskin function or like multiple skins?
you should only need one of the function

and then different skins go in palettes is what it looks like

[manic rune]

that should target misc -> dictionary -> j_cymba_solSister, no?

[gleaming yew]

i want multiple skins

well

one per suit

that match

[manic rune]

god whats with vencord making it so the reaction notification is x10 slower

[normal crest]

return {
    misc = {
        dictionary = {
            "j_cymba_solSister" = "your localized text"
        }
    }
}

this is what it'd look like for your localize call to be valid

[manic rune]

yall no

[pale holly]

I..guess ? I never used the localization setting before

[pale holly]

Thanks !

[normal crest]

also the key "j_cymba_solSister" can be anything you want

I'd recommend putting your mod prefix in the key so that there aren't any conflicts

[manic rune]

i hate each and every one of you. :3

[feral cove]

I'm trying to remake vanilla decks

the first one, being red deck is called scarlet deck but im having trouble thinking of ideas to make it interesting does anyone here have any ideas (I'll credit you)

[manic rune]

+1 discard when a hand is played

idk

[pale holly]

true but i prefer to keep it for my joker in case i would ever need to make another one close of that type

[feral cove]

fax

[red flower]

i would ask in #⚙・modding-general if you havent, there are more people there usually

[pale holly]

the mod prefix is already in the key, but thanks

[feral cove]

I did ask once and I didn't want to be annoying so I stopped lol

I only started asking again til now

[normal crest]

I know, I'm just saying it doesn't have to be the key of your joker

[pale holly]

ah alright, thanks

i just really never used the localisation before so this is why, was expected saved could be edited too

[modern kindle]

+1 bepis when bepis is present per ante

[manic rune]

sob

also dil, the fact that u made shaders automatically puts u above me

:3

[modern kindle]

I dont think so

Lmfao

[manic rune]

now take over yggdrasil so i can finally rest, thanks

[modern kindle]

My shaders arent even that kool

[sonic cedar]

i forget if pseudorandom skips the min or the max

[modern kindle]

They're like 3% epic

[manic rune]

it doesnt skip

[modern kindle]

You however are like 20573857272929% epic

[sonic cedar]

oh was that fixed I swear it used to

[manic rune]

😭 nowhere close, but thanks

[manic rune]

else pseudorandom("idk",1,2) would break lol

[sonic cedar]

youre missing a few 0s at the end

[sonic cedar]

true lmao

[modern kindle]

My bad, 3.00%

what the heck did I do wrong ?

[sonic cedar]

who told you to add that .

[modern kindle]

[sonic cedar]

why is your M uppercase if you’ve been using lowercase

[copper thorn]

where ?

maybe a missclick or smth like that i suppose

[sonic cedar]

In your return

[copper thorn]

istg if that's the issue

ima kill mickey mouse tonight

[sonic cedar]

it’d be really funny

[copper thorn]

indeed

it was it...

quick question (i hope)

how do i make a joker not sellable

[snow vale]

why isn't this joker creating another joker?

[red flower]

make it eternal :3

or hook Card:can_sell_card

[modern kindle]

Hi N

[gilded blaze]

in calculate

[obtuse silo]

alright
is there a context for a joker being added?
And I mean, not this joker, i mean like
if a different joker is added

[copper thorn]

where dafuck do i put the card: ?

[red flower]

context.ub_foolish == card

[snow vale]

oh ok

[tawdry shale]

this doesn't work but where would i enable the discard optional area

[red flower]

context.card_added and check if the card is a joker

[snow vale]

i use this for that (change the key, and the requirements for the return false)

[red flower]

it's context.game_over lowercase
also local variables are reset between calculate calls

heres an optional features example: https://github.com/BarrierTrio/Cardsauce/blob/8094b1603f6fb2f24e6c93c87619f832f2ade69b/main.lua#L4

[sonic cedar]

here's what i do since it's for a sticker

oh someone posted it alr

[copper thorn]

? i don't wanna make a sticker

[sonic cedar]

yeah just remove the sticker part 😭

[red flower]

the logic is the same

[sonic cedar]

return false

[copper thorn]

im just lost wth do i put and where ?

[snow vale]

:3

[red flower]

it says mad_dumy

is that intentional

[snow vale]

wdym?

[snow vale]

yeah

it's the joker's key

oh wait

nvm

😭

ok yeah typo

[copper thorn]

isn't that just sweet ?

100% no crashes, made by profesionnals

[tight hull]

hello, quick question, is there a way to change a sound by a mod and not modifying the game files?

[snow vale]

never sure enough

[snow vale]

wdym?

sure u can

just that you take ownership of the sound

[tight hull]

i cant find any mods that do that so idk how to

[snow vale]

or whatever

i didnt touch replacing sounds

ask someone good

[copper thorn]

ok thanks

[gilded blaze]

if you're aiming to replace the bgm instead of sfx, there's a way

[tight hull]

what is bgm?

[gilded blaze]

background music

[tight hull]

oh

i wanted to change the whoosh sound for smth else

[frigid cargo]

whenever i add a booster pack or voucher it is WIDE, do i have to use sprite sheets to not make this happen?

[copper thorn]

and dumb beginner questions, how do i know my variable ? and how do i check for my joker ?

[obtuse silo]

to check if the card is a joker
would i follow up with and card.joker then?

[red flower]

context.card.ability.set == "Joker"

[copper thorn]

... help

[tight hull]

I would help but I have no idea, sorry brother

[copper thorn]

thanks...

[tawdry oriole]

i'm trying to make a wraith-like consumable that creates uncommon cards from my joker pool and it starts out okay-ish but three jokers in it starts generating random jokers of all rarities

[red flower]

rarity = "Uncommon"

rarity numbers work different in create card

[red flower]

wdym

[tawdry oriole]

oddly enough it still doesn't work

[obtuse silo]

another thing
i wanna check the edition on that specific joker that is being added
is there any way to reference this joker?

[red flower]

hmmm maybe it's because of the set?

[obtuse silo]

so far it just checks if a card is being added and if the card is a joker

[red flower]

context.card

[obtuse silo]

ah

[tawdry oriole]

perhaps, though i think it's correctly defined
each joker has pools = {["BalatrezAddition"] = true} to insert it

[copper thorn]

how do i know what to put in the red circles ?

[red flower]

never used objecttypes too much but maybe you need this

[tawdry oriole]

i'll try it out

[red flower]

yourvariable is fine as is, you can name it something else if you want

if self.config.center.key == "j_[your mod's prefix]_[joker's key]" would be the condition

[copper thorn]

what syntax errror did i make ?

[red flower]

you put it inside the joker definition, dont do that

this goes outside of everything

[copper thorn]

fuck

[maiden phoenix]

Also no , after can_sell_card

[red flower]

also you're using [ instead of ( it seems

also Card:can_sell_card with a :

[copper thorn]

i thougt it was [ with the writing

[maiden phoenix]

And a "then" after the if cond

[red flower]

lol

[maiden phoenix]

For the function line only btw

[copper thorn]

so like this ?

[red flower]

without that comma at the end but yes

[copper thorn]

and in the jokers def i put

sellable = true/false

[red flower]

no

[copper thorn]

???

[red flower]

return false inside the if condition

[maiden phoenix]

What are you trying to achieve? Make the card unsellable?

[copper thorn]

yeah

[tawdry oriole]

update -- the create_card function seems to be okay? the problem resides in the get_current_pool where it thinks the poolkey is both the pool itself & the rarity combined in one string

[maiden phoenix]

Add return false in the if block

[red flower]

no thats normal, thats the pseudorandom seed

[tawdry oriole]

oh okay

[tight hull]

so i found create_replace_sound but i have no idea how to use it

[maiden phoenix]

Actually idk if the func is a return or if its button config

[tawdry oriole]

well the main crash is a bad argument to ipairs apparently

[red flower]

it's a return

[maiden phoenix]

Cant check

[tawdry oriole]

i'll look into it

[maiden phoenix]

Ty N

[copper thorn]

where do i put the return false exactly i fell like i can't understand anything ?

[maiden phoenix]

Between the "if" line and the "end" below it

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[copper thorn]

'k thanks

[copper thorn]

x)

but likethe entire thing is outside of anything, is it okay ?

[red flower]

yes

[uneven bobcat]

how does one deal with jokers not being joker sized? either the sell/buy part of the ui is stretched and weird or the actual joker is stretched to fit, i gotta be missing something simple

modding on none sleep

[red flower]

that will be called when the game calls card:can_sell_card

[copper thorn]

so if i need another joker to be unsellable i just copy it and change the joker check ?

[red flower]

you can do that but the cleaner way would be to update that same function by doing something like

if self.config.center.key == "key1" or self.config.center.key == "key2" or ... then

[copper thorn]

i don't wanna complicate things, if it works, it works no matter how ugly it is

[red flower]

rather than ugly it's to avoid future problems but ok

[sonic cedar]

where the heck is k_blabla_ex stored??

[red flower]

localization?

[tight hull]

does anyone know how to use it? i cant find an understandable guide

[maiden phoenix]

You can make it look simpler by having it this way

local awak_unsellable = {
    ["j_awak_ca"] = true,
    ...
}

if awak_unsellable[self.config.center.key] then

so that your code looks better and all you have to do to add a new entry is add it to the table

[copper thorn]

i can still sell it T-T

[red flower]

you need to check if G.jokers exists in loc_vars

[sonic cedar]

so then which is the “saved by mr. Bones” part? like what if i wanted it to say a different joker’s name

[maiden phoenix]

If ... or chains are an eyesore

[open tapir]

hey guys just incase if you are wondering how to play videos on balatro

basically

[red flower]

it's in misc.dictionary

[open tapir]

make a file called resources or videos or whatever you wanna call it

make your video file a .ogv

put the video in

[red flower]

is the key correct?

[obtuse silo]

so before the loop
put it in an if statement that says something like if G.jokers.cards then?

[sonic cedar]

tysmmmm

[red flower]

just if G.jokers then

[faint yacht]

You return a localization entry for saved.

[open tapir]

use this code

[sonic cedar]

yeah ik that part dw i just wanted to know where it is

[copper thorn]

yeah

[red flower]

no

it's cra not ca

[faint yacht]

misc > dictionary

[open tapir]

wanna make it a skip tag?

here’s the code!

[red flower]

is that an ad skip 😭

[copper thorn]

it was xD

[open tapir]

fuck

yeah

there we go

[novel thistle]

Can anyone help me understand why my voucher does not seem to exist in game?

[red flower]

remove the = in the first line

[novel thistle]

oh you right

thx

[copper thorn]

ima bother y'all one last time, but i can't get the grey line under the glitchy text

[open tapir]

wanna make it play when a joker is sold? i have no idea how! search up a mod with this code!! i stole the ad code from yahi!!

[obtuse silo]

is there also a context for if an edition is added/removed?

[red flower]

uhh it's a bit hard to explain UI structure in text but you want something like

-- pseudocode
column node = {
  row node = {
    -- glitchy mult text
  },
  row node = {
    -- gray text
  }
}

[red flower]

no

[copper thorn]

like this ?

[red flower]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudocode

[copper thorn]

bro hit me with the wikipedia page

amen

[primal robin]

[red flower]

check https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

[regal bridge]

what kind of code would I set up in the main file to load all the jokers with a setup like this

[red flower]

do you need a setup like that?

[obtuse silo]

ah
just cause with how i'm testing my joker
it's not adding the hand size when the a joker is added, but turns negative
i probably need to add some sort of check between current hand size and the benefit but it would probably involve collateral with other hand size decreasing things (Merry Andy, Ouija, etc.)

[regal bridge]

idk

having everything in the main file gets cumbersome

so I wanna split it apart

[red flower]

then don't
use a normal set up

like this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/

[regal bridge]

o

thanks

[red flower]

splitting is good, but that cryptid-like set up is too complicated for most mods

[rancid flare]

can anyone help me I need to change a G.GAME variable after an hand as been played

[obtuse silo]

i'll probably create a global that tells the game the hand increase the joker provides, and if the two don't match, just correctly add?

[red flower]

elaborate?

[tawdry shale]

i'm trying to make it so that the deck of playing cards is checked once a round is over and removes a specific seal from the first card it finds but it removes more than one

[red flower]

add and not context.individual and not context.repetition

[rancid flare]

somthing like that but at the end of each played hand instead of each round (code from the ExampleJokersMod)

[red flower]

local SMODS_calculate_context_ref = SMODS.calculate_context
function SMODS.calculate_context(context, return_table)
    if context.after then
        G.GAME.your_variable = value
    end
    return SMODS_calculate_context_ref(context, return_table)
end

[tawdry shale]

here?

[red flower]

yes

[tawdry shale]

gotcha

[copper thorn]

@red flower like this ?

[tawdry oriole]

this STILL doesn't work and i'm at a loss of solutions

[red flower]

no

[copper thorn]

ok

[red flower]

i dont know how to explain it better sadly

[copper thorn]

and idk how to understand it better too x)

[red flower]

try rarity 2 again maybe?

[rancid flare]

where / how should i define such variable
and how can i modified them in the calculate part of a joker ?

[tight hull]

re-asking my question since I sill dont know, how to use create_replace_sound

[red flower]

you dont need to define it beforehand, for example if it's a counter you can just do
G.GAME.your_variable = (G.GAME.your_variable or 0) + 1
and it will update it if it exists or create it if it doesn't

[rancid flare]

okay thx perfect

[obtuse silo]

does context.update just check every frame? is there even a context.update?

i just want something to adress discrepancies

[red flower]

no but there's an update function that checks every frame yes

[obtuse silo]

ah good
i'll use that then

[copper thorn]

so, you can't help me at all ? (no worries about that no one can fully help)

[red flower]

i mean i cant help without doing the code myself

and honestly i dont want to lol

[copper thorn]

fair enough

but could you please tell me what synthax error i made x=)

[red flower]

this comma shouldnt be there

[copper thorn]

uh uhhhhhh

[red flower]

theres maybe something else i cant see in the screenshot

[tawdry oriole]

awesome news: after looking at other mod's codes i've managed to actually make it work but the jokers don't actually count and go in the joker slots?

[red flower]

G.jokers:emplace(card)

[tawdry oriole]

right thank you

[tepid crow]

too few }s

try indenting your code properly and you should be able to see the issue

[obtuse silo]

slight problem
this happens even when you're looking at her in the collection

[copper thorn]

indeed it was

[red flower]

yeah update runs always

what are you trying to do?

[regal bridge]

how do I make my modded jokers auto-discoverd

[red flower]

discovered = true

[obtuse silo]

basically
adds hand size for each negative joker in your joker slots (including this joker and copies of it)

[red flower]

hmm yeah thats a bit complex

i would try doing it in contexts if you can but if you want to do it in update then you would need to check if it's in the joker area

[rancid flare]

is it possible to add a function that can be used in any part of the game ?

[red flower]

yes

just make it global

[obtuse silo]

i've only got the update part because when a joker becomes negative the hand size doesn't increase

[humble matrix]

i've got my own custom booster pack to show up in game but im wondering how i would get it to choose only jokers from my mod. does anyone know how i could do this?

[red flower]

you have to make an SMODS.ObjectType and then in create_card you return { set = "objecttype_key", area = G.pack_cards}

[faint yacht]

Would it not be easier to hook set_edition and check if e_negative is the target edition and call a context that's specific to this Joker?

[obtuse silo]

wouldn't know how to create my own context

[faint yacht]

SMODS.calculate_context({editionchange = true, targetcard = self, targetedition = edition}) in the hook.

Something like such.

[frigid cargo]

        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.repetition and not context.repetition_only then
            if context.other_card:is_suit("Hearts") then
                return {
                    message = localize("k_again_ex"),
                    repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
                    card = context.other_card
                }
            end
        end
    end```
how do i make it so the joker itself also shakes when the card said "Again!"

[obtuse silo]

i really don't know how to do hooks it is arcane sorcery for me
sorry to bother but could you help me out with how to structure one?

[faint yacht]

Point card to card, but set message_card to context.other_card?

[red flower]

put card:juice_up() in an event

but also the joker is usually the one that says "Again!" is that intentional?

[humble matrix]

so kinda like this???

[red flower]

yes but the cards list needs to be a list of keys

[humble matrix]

oh

im stupid lol

[tight hull]

and how do i do that? (I cant find practicly anything abt changing sound in balatro other than replacing the file by hand)

[tawdry shale]

okay so i tried adding that but it didn't work so then i tried doing this, and it removes the seal of the last scored card with the specific seal before the round ends

[frigid cargo]

Is it? Its my friend that plays balatro the most, im new to balatro. If so how would i make the joker do that?

[tawdry shale]

it works but then when i try it again the next round, it doesn't remove any seals

[tight hull]

what does adding local in front of the code do?

[red flower]

i dont recommend using global variables to do stuff at all but also returning soultrigger and destroyed at the end will not update them

[red flower]

remove the message = and the card = lines

[red flower]

no, the earlier syntax was correct
the keys have to be like j_modprefix_key = true

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[humble matrix]

ah ok

[obtuse silo]

yeah
so like
j_modprefix_canny cat = true,
etc,

[tawdry shale]

yeah that's probably the problem, what do you recommend doing instead ?

[red flower]

save it to card.ability.extra.soultrigger and dont update variables in a return

[tawdry shale]

alright that sounds good

[plush depot]

trying to enter a cryptid run with suit deck (hearts) and infinity sleeve on white stake

[red flower]

this is more fitting in the cryptid or cardsleeves threads or #⚙・modding-general

[humble matrix]

...now the game crashes when the pack is about to open

[faint yacht]

local set_edition_ref = Card.set_edition -- set up reference.
function Card:set_edition(edition, immediate, silent, delay)
  SMODS.calculate_context{edition = edition, card = self} -- execute context call.
  set_edition_ref(self, edition, immediate, silent, delay) -- call original function.
end

-- in the Joker
if context.card and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' and (context.edition == 'e_negative' or context.edition.negative) and not (context.card.edition or context.card.edition.negative) then -- check if target edition is Negative and the given Joker is not negative...
  -- add hand size
elseif context.card and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' and context.card.edition and context.card.edition.negative and not (context.edition == 'e_negative' or context.edition.negative) then -- check if target edition is NOT Negative and we are Negative...
  -- deduct hand size
end

-# Take with a grain of salt-

[humble matrix]

OKOK I FIXED IT

now the game is spawning cards

but its all fuckin jimbo

i think i can fix this ez

[tight hull]

how do i find whats the object key?

[obtuse silo]

i'm very stupid when it comes to hooks
can someone help?

[tawdry shale]

i think it's working now but the only thing is it removes all the seals of the last scored card (ex: a two pair with all the scored cards having the specififc seal i'm trying to remove), meanwhile i'm only trying to remove the seal from one card

[tight hull]

uhh, what did I do?

[candid sleet]

anyone know what i missed here? trying to set up custom decks with smods.back but i'm not entirely sure what i'm doing

[humble matrix]

ok i cant fix it

[candid sleet]

the reason the atlas doesn't match is because i had it as PortatroBack and it wasnt working so i just tried a different atlas i was already using

[humble matrix]

ok i fixed it

[calm kiln]

is it ethical to scower every mod on the modding wiki to see if any jokers have a similar effect to a joker im making if im not going to release it? I have no clue how i would implement the ability since i have no idea what to do beyond the basics

[modern kindle]

i mean yea you can look at how people do stuff, if you take their code directly you should probably ask them

[chrome widget]

What's the best list of all enhancements, including modded enhancements?

[calm kiln]

ok

[normal crest]

if they have a license look at it, that will tell you what you can and can't do with their code

if they don't, ask

[chrome widget]

I guess I'll give an opposing voice here and say stealing is cool so you should do it because that's how you learn

[modern kindle]

im also for it but its just a rule in here at least that you need express permission
so i figured it wouldnt hurt to state it

[normal crest]

if you're not going to publish your mod publicly sure, no one will ever know you used their code

[modern kindle]

thats also true

[calm kiln]

yeah, im not gonna release it i just want to see if the idea in game

[modern kindle]

private mods may as well be free game

[chrome widget]

Yeah like I don't even believe in intellectual property of public code. You're basically asking to be absolved of thoughtcrime

Thoughtcrime is not real, do what you want

[modern kindle]

but im thinking of crime right now

whatcha gonna do smt, gonna report me? (also hi)

[normal crest]

okay, let's say I take all your code, obfuscate it and start selling it under a new name

would you be okay with that

[drowsy heath]

im so confused why is a vanilla joker is causing a crash when my consumable that only effects my coffee jokers is used

the joker in question was onyx agate

[normal crest]

what is the crash exactly?

[chrome widget]

Ye

[drowsy heath]

hold on let me get it bak up

[daring fern]

.ability.extra is a number on some vanilla jokers.

[normal crest]

Ah, some vanilla jokers don't have extra as a table, but rather a number

so you should do the same check you do in can_use with type

[drowsy heath]

huh

ohh

wait

[chrome widget]

bump on this

[drowsy heath]

no im lost

[chrome widget]

I only see Glass and Lucky taken ownership of, so does that mean they're the only two that fall under SMODS.Enhancement?

[normal crest]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced

[fallow breach]

hello gentlemen does anyone have any resources on how to start adding custom sprites/jokers

[chrome widget]

Oh! Thanks!!!

[fallow breach]

i've looked online and couldn't find any good guides

[daring fern]

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

[drowsy heath]

explain wat im supposed to be doing bcoz i am a lil lost

[daring fern]

Just do (type(v.ability.extra) == "table" and v.ability.extra or {})

[fallow breach]

also i'm using balatro mod manager because it's the easiest, but for testing my own mods i assume i'll want to download steamodded + lovely separately right

[chrome widget]

Yep yep!!

[fallow breach]

cool thanks

[humble matrix]

it suddenly unfixed itself

[calm kiln]

ive looked at litterally every mod on the modding wiki and nothing is at all like my idea's ability : (

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[calm kiln]

To make played steels count as held in hand

[snow vale]

no idea, im not good at that

[calm kiln]

i checked that code and there were dev notes saying steel woudlnt work with it

[obtuse silo]

i suck with hooks
could someone help me make it so that the added hand size updates when a card is given an enhancement

[daring fern]

It does.

[humble matrix]

i've got the keys identical and it just spawns the default joker instead of any of the modded jokers

[faint yacht]

Whilst you have copied the Joker stuff, you've not even set up a hook yet.

local set_edition_ref = Card.set_edition -- set up reference.
function Card:set_edition(edition, immediate, silent, delay)
  SMODS.calculate_context{edition = edition, card = self} -- execute context call.
  set_edition_ref(self, edition, immediate, silent, delay) -- call original function.
end

[calm kiln]

where is that in cryptid

[snow vale]

any idea why the card wont respawn if i destroy it using a vanilla joker (aka ceremonial dagger), but it does respawn if i destroy it using a modded joker?

[daring fern]

lovely/misc_joker.toml

[daring fern]

Firstly, keys can't have spaces, Secondly, it needs to be like j_modprefix_key

[humble matrix]

oh you gotta be kidding me

[calm kiln]

thanks : D how do i make add that to a smod file thing

[daring fern]

You make a lovely.toml file in the mod folder.

[calm kiln]

ive added it

now what

[obtuse silo]

so if you made it like
j_funnycats_canny = true
the square brackets aren't entirely neccessary in my experience doing a similar thing

[humble matrix]

...so this should work?

[daring fern]

Then put something like this in it: ```toml
[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = -1

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/common_events.lua"
pattern = "if context.cardarea == G.hand and context.main_scoring then"
position = "at"
payload = "if (context.cardarea == G.hand or context.cardarea == G.play and next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))) and context.main_scoring then"
match_indent = true

[faint yacht]

...do you want their ability to also be retriggered by Mime?

[calm kiln]

yeah, like baron, mime, blue seal kinda stuff

[calm kiln]

is that all that i have to do?

[faint yacht]

...would that not also need overwrite = true?

[random sleet]

at automatically overwrites i think, doesnt it?

[daring fern]

If you want it to be retriggered by mime then it would need a bit more work I think.

[faint yacht]

And, honestly, this does sound like something I've already have done currently.

[calm kiln]

it does?

[obtuse silo]

ok so now that i have this
what next

[faint yacht]

You should try getting some Jokers to be set Negative then.

[red flower]

added tags, boosters, planets and poker hands to vanilla remade :3
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[snow vale]

how can i give a card a sticker?

[obtuse silo]

your wording is throwing me off slightly
could you rephrase please?

[candid sleet]

why is this not creating etheral tags after boss blind?

[calm kiln]

dang you did

[red flower]

it needs to be edition = edition or every edition will count as negative

also set_edition is not always called with the edition key

[calm kiln]

would it be easy to port that into a joker?

[obtuse silo]

i see

[snow vale]

bump

[daring fern]

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

[midnight coyote]

when i use set_ability on a joker does it keep its original card.ability.extra table

[snow vale]

ok

[red flower]

no

[midnight coyote]

hmm

[daring fern]

It does, if nothing overwrites it, I think.

[midnight coyote]

how could i save those values

[midnight coyote]

oka

im working on overclocks

[obtuse silo]

so now that i have the hook
idrk what to do next, sorry for being so high-maintenance-

[midnight coyote]

and i want certain scaling jokers to keep their scaling

[snow vale]

bump

[faint yacht]

...the way I do it doesn't involve calculate on the Joker actually doing it - instead, I have hooked SMODS.calculate_main_scoring and check for context.cardarea == G.hand, then iterate on cards in other playing card areas. In your case, you'd have to just check for and iterate over context.full_hand, then SMODS.score_card(card, context).

[daring fern]

Because jokers don't calculate when getting removed if card.getting_sliced is true

[snow vale]

oh

[daring fern]

So the modded jokers you are testing with aren't setting that.

[snow vale]

how can i make so it doesnt affect this specific joker?

[daring fern]

Put that in remove_from_deck

[snow vale]

the what?

the context?

[calm kiln]

how would i got about starting that? i am very new to programming

[snow vale]

oh.

it was that simple

and how do i check when it isn't sold?

[daring fern]

if not G.CONTROLLER.locks.selling_card then

[humble matrix]

and does this also mean i have to change the keys of the actual jokers themselves or?

[snow vale]

ok thanks

[daring fern]

Yes.

[humble matrix]

like add the j_funnycats

[humble matrix]

oh ok

[daring fern]

No, just remove the spaces.

[humble matrix]

[mild grove]

I tried to make a Joker that spawns Negative playing cards but the game crashes when i select a blind

[red flower]

SMODS.create_card{ set = "Playing Card", edition = "e_negative", area = G.discard}

also k_plus_negative_card doesnt exist unless you define it

[obtuse silo]

so if i want to check when a joker becomes negative
how do i use the hook

[mild grove]

How do i define it?

[humble matrix]

ive done that and everything is turning up jimbo

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/e60af444900c3227a4f78c5dd34c7f8ce9f283ac/togastuff.lua#L548-L556 See this hook of mine and the togabalatro.heldinhandscoring function above that is called by it.

[normal crest]

what did you set as the default for that object type

[humble matrix]

...i dont think i set one, mostly cuz i didnt know what to set it as

[midnight coyote]

i ended up adding an argument to my overclock function that would save the old card's values in old_extra

[normal crest]

try doing

inject = function(self)
  SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self)
  -- This for each joker you want to insert
  self:inject_card(G.P_CENTERS.j_prefix_key)
end

instead of using cards

[red flower]

put it in the localization file in misc.dictionary

or you can just get rid of localize and put the string directly

[obtuse silo]

genuinley help
i am so lost

[red flower]

if context.edition and context.edition == "e_negative" or (type(context.edition) == "table" and context.edition.negative) then

[obtuse silo]

thank you :}

[humble matrix]

where exactly would i put this?

[snow vale]

how can i make so if i win a blind i actually dont win it and your score resets to 0?

[normal crest]

inside your object type

[red flower]

did a small fix

[humble matrix]

so i would do something like this?

[red flower]

i still don't fully understand how to inject things into objecttypes

[normal crest]

Yeah

[normal crest]

with inject_card!

[red flower]

what's cards for then

[normal crest]

idk it seems unused by smods

[red flower]

weird

[normal crest]

wait nvm

I was looking at the wrong thing

[humble matrix]

...now the game just crashes

[normal crest]

maybe you have your mod prefix wrong

and cards worked all along

[humble matrix]

the mods prefix would be the same as the mod_id in the steamodded header right?

[red flower]

no, do you have a --- PREFIX?

[normal crest]

I think if you're using headers it takes the first 4 letters of your mod id

you should really be using json metadata tho

[humble matrix]

oh

[normal crest]

yeah no, it's properly used, I swear it wasn't before

so cards would work fine

[mild grove]

I've not setup a localization file yet, so ima just remove the whole string in entirely til i get a localization up

[faint yacht]

Or with pools.

[covert bough]

is there a way to mod on phone? if so can somebody help

[red flower]

#📜・modding-rules rule 4

[humble matrix]

alright, i changed it to json metadata and that fixed it

(this isnt with the inject card stuff btw)

[faint yacht]

👍

[vast night]

Hi. I've been searching for a long time, but i just cant figure it out. How can i check if the defeated blind is a boss blind, when hooking Blind.defeat (not in a calc func)

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.boss

self.boss probably also works there but I'm not sure

[vast night]

ye that was too obvious to bwe true 😭 thx

another q

i have never done a completely custom ui in balatro (liike i've done it in extra_tabs and config) so how could i make it so instead of going directly to the shop after defeating the boss blind, show another screen first (with a countdown)

[red flower]

that's something i need to figure out myself haha

the UI part of it should be all the same (see the UI guide in the docs if you haven't) the problem is messing with G.STATE

which probably isn't that hard but idk how

[frigid cargo]

i really dont know why this is happening, does anyone know why?

[rich dragon]

maybe a filter? i dont code so i cant really be for sure

[mild grove]

Pretty sure it's because of the CRT filter

@frigid cargo Try doing this in the settings and see if it helps

[vast night]

iimma look at how the multiplayer mod does that stuff

it has a custom screen afaik

[frigid cargo]

im only talking about it being cut off on the side

[red flower]

what's your atlas definition

[frigid cargo]

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'MegaGeoPackCraig',
    path = 'MegaGeoPackCraig.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}

[red flower]

is the image 71x95

[frigid cargo]

yes

[red flower]

dunno then

[frigid cargo]

ill try respriting

[formal parrot]

Probably an issue in your spritesheet

[viral ember]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if not context.other_card:is_face() and not context.other_card:get_id() == 10 then
                return {
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chips
                }
            end
        end
    end

No matter what it never gives the chips?

am I stupid?

[fluid burrow]

I have a question: how do you remove the debuff from a card that previously had a debuff?

[viral ember]

you could check vampire

[frigid cargo]

maybe idk

[viral ember]

        if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            local enhanced = {}
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if next(SMODS.get_enhancements(scored_card)) and not scored_card.debuff and not scored_card.vampired then
                    enhanced[#enhanced + 1] = scored_card
                    scored_card.vampired = true
                    scored_card:set_ability('c_base', nil, true)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            scored_card:juice_up()
                            scored_card.vampired = nil
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            end

            if #enhanced > 0 then
                card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain * #enhanced
                return {
                    message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } },
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
    end,

this is vampire's code (kinda, it's vanillaremade but still)

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L1877

[red flower]

not a == b is always false if a is truthy (in this case)
do a ~= b

[viral ember]

oh

I see

that explains a lot honestly

thanks so much! 😊

[fluid burrow]

??

[formal parrot]

Thats a pretty good question

[red flower]

SMODS.debuff_card(card, false, "source")

[fluid burrow]

"source" what does it mean?

[fluid burrow]

mmm

[covert bough]

ok i got balatro on pc how i mod

[limber blaze]

does anyone know how i can go about allowing gaps of more than 1 for straight calculation (i actually would prefer it to be any amount of gaps not just hardcoded to 2)

[viral ember]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods?tab=readme-ov-file#how-to-install-a-mod

[covert bough]

ty

[covert bough]

wh yis brainstorm mod crashin my game

[obtuse silo]

How would I create a restriction for a challenge that limits the total amount of money you can hold?

[daring fern]

Probably hook ease_dollars

[mild grove]

So How do i properly create an Atlas that works with both Sprite smoothing on and off?

Do i need like two different Atlases? Like a 1x Atlas and 2x Atlas?

[red flower]

yes

[mild grove]

alright, i'll just wing it

[red flower]

x2 just needs to be double x1

[obtuse silo]

yeah
the way i do it personally is by drawing each card at 1x scale, then when i'm ready to export, create the 2x atlas by doubling the width and height of the image

[tepid crow]

you only need one smods atlas, but 2 actual image files

[obtuse silo]

function ease_dollars_ref(mod, instant)
    --what do i put here--
end```
is this correct so far?

[daring fern]

No.

[mild grove]

ah alright

[daring fern]

It should be function ease_dollars(mod, instant)

[obtuse silo]

and as for the function's contents?

[obtuse silo]

okay
what do i put in the function?

[viral ember]

How would I select a random card in my deck?

[red flower]

pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards, "seed")

G.deck.cards if you want the current deck

[viral ember]

oh sick

I couldn't remember the name lol

thanks again!

[daring fern]

if conditions then
    mod = math.min(mod, moneylimit-G.GAME.dollars)
end
``` Maybe?

[obtuse silo]

so
something like this?

[daring fern]

No, conditions was supposed to be checking if the challenge is active.

[obtuse silo]

so
how would I go about checking the current challenge?

[daring fern]

You would set a custom rule then check for it in G.GAME.modifiers I think?

[obtuse silo]

how would I go about setting a custom rule?

actually wait

[daring fern]

?

[obtuse silo]

yeah i realised
now how to reference the value in the hook

because
i'm setting the money limit value to 10 in the custom ruling
how do i reference the value?

[daring fern]

?

[obtuse silo]

would this be correct?

[daring fern]

No.

G.GAME.modifiers.money_limit

[obtuse silo]

i see
thank you

this just prevents me from getting money altogether, i should probably re-add the condition as an "and" condition

[daring fern]

No, you need to return the old function.

return ease_dollars_ref(mod, instant)

[obtuse silo]

ah

thanks again!

[chrome widget]

Trying to do a joker that changes the values of Glass Cards upon being picked up. I'm having trouble getting it to work and I assume it's because SMODS takes ownership of it?

G.P_CENTERS.m_glass.config.extra = card.ability.extra.glass_break

for _, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
    if v.config and v.config.center and v.config.center.key == 'm_glass' then
        sendDebugMessage('updating glass cards')
        v.ability.extra = card.ability.extra.glass_break
        v.ability.x_mult = card.ability.extra.glass_mult
    end
end```

I keep getting strange results, such as how after selling it, it only resets the chance value but not the xmult value

is there something weird about config.Xmult?

[frigid cargo]

card.ability.extra.steelmult = (((shapecount * card.ability.extra.steelmult_gain)/10)+1)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and
           SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
            if context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                xmult = card.ability.extra.x_mult
            }
            else 
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.steelmult
            }
        end

how do i make it so if its steel and is a diamond suit card, it returns x_mult and steelmult

[long sun]

hiya! i'm trying to call this function in my script, outside of any functions:
ArtBox.add_collectible('m_phanta_ghostcard', { atlas = 'phanta_PhantaCollectables', pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }, soul_pos = { x = 1, y = 0 }})
however, ArtBox doesn't seem to exist yet at this stage. how can i call it when this function exists?

[the function is part of another mod]

[daring fern]

Hook Game:main_menu

[long sun]

okie doke! thanks :D

[normal crest]

that's the same thing tho 🤔

Oh I didn't see the if statement

thought you were referring to the G.GAME.modifiers["money_limit"] part

[sand sandal]

i finally did it

there is no sprite because uh

i can't draw

yet another gacha themed mod for balatro, coming uh, soon?

[narrow pendant]

How do you make decks?

[daring fern]

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

[gilded blaze]

local ed = ease_dollars
function ease_dollars(mod, instant)
    if G.GAME.modifiers.money_limit and type(G.GAME.modifiers.money_limit) == "number" then
        mod = math.min(mod, G.GAME.modifiers.money_limit-to_number(G.GAME.dollars))
    end
    ed(mod, instant)
end

to_number simply returns its only argument if Talisman is not installed

I've been working on a mod that satisfies both non-Talisman and Talisman players
it's in my blood now lmao

[sonic cedar]

does changing the suit of a card apply to context.playing_card_added? i'm trying to set up a joker that triggers an effect if all cards of a certain suit in your deck become a certain other suit

[red flower]

no

[sonic cedar]

aw

is there a context i can use?

[red flower]

i dont think so

[sonic cedar]

double aw

you got any ideas of what i could do instead?

[unborn bay]

you could add your own context

[gilded blaze]

that's a bit hard

[sonic cedar]

yeah i was thinking about that but how would i even do that for something like this

[gilded blaze]

is it "one suit vanishes from the deck"

aka "you got rid of an entire suit"

[tall wharf]

hi

[sonic cedar]

let's say your deck has any number of the other suits and hearts
if you turn all the cards in one of those suits into hearts, even if it's just one
the effect triggers

[sonic cedar]

hi

[gilded blaze]

even if it's just one?

isn't that simply "when a card changes suit to a certain suit"

[sonic cedar]

like if i just have one diamond and i change it to a heart, the conditions are met
however, if i DESTROY that diamond the effect won't apply, because now it's not
"hearts is all that's left because i turned all my cards into hearts" it's "hearts is all that's left because i took out everything else"

[sonic cedar]

yeah, but it has to factor all of them for the effect to apply
which is why i'm stuck

[gilded blaze]

hook Card:change_suit and SMODS.change_base

Ortalab does something similar like that

[sonic cedar]

do you remember what it is so i can see how they did it?

[gilded blaze]

local card_change_suit = Card.change_suit
function Card:change_suit(new_suit)
    local change = self.base.suit ~= new_suit
    card_change_suit(self, new_suit)
    if not change then return end
    local scaling_joker = SMODS.find_card('j_ortalab_mill')
    for _, card in pairs(scaling_joker) do        
        card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.gain
        card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult}}})
    end
end

local smods_change_base = SMODS.change_base
function SMODS.change_base(card, suit, rank)
    local change = suit and card.base.suit ~= suit
    local card = smods_change_base(card, suit, rank)
    if change and not Ortalab.harp_usage then
        local scaling_joker = SMODS.find_card('j_ortalab_mill')
        for _, card in pairs(scaling_joker) do        
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.gain
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = {card.ability.extra.xmult}}})
        end
    end
    return card
end

this is how Mill scales its Xmult when a card changes suit

just do your check there

[frigid perch]

Hii, back, sorry, this might be like, a very simple thing but I'm silly and Very new to coding
I asked this earlier and the consensus was just to add an "Add to Deck" thing
So it's for Cavendish, and Cavendish doesn't Have an Add To Deck thing

    key = "cavendish",
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        play_sound('Wake_up_Cyn', 0.7, 0.55)
    end,
}```
Would this be correct to have in the main.lua file?
The sound is spelled exactly as the .ogg is in the assets/sounds folder
Like, is it really this simple?

[gilded blaze]

because the check only runs when a card changes suit, you don't have to worry about destroying card accidentally triggering the effect

[sonic cedar]

ahhhh

[frigid cargo]

card.ability.extra.steelmult = (((shapecount * card.ability.extra.steelmult_gain)/10)+1)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and
           SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_steel') then
            if context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                xmult = card.ability.extra.x_mult

                xmult = card.ability.extra.steelmult
            }
        end

how do i make it so if its steel and is a diamond suit card, it returns x_mult and steelmult

[frigid perch]

Also, if I have the mod on, cavendish doesn't appear, at least in seeded runs where it's supposed to

[gilded blaze]

• did you declare SMODS.Sound{key = "Wake_up_Cyn", path = "Wake_up_Cyn.ogg"}?
• use take_ownership instead:

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership("cavendish", {
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        play_sound('modprefix_Wake_up_Cyn', 0.7, 0.55)
    end,
})

[frigid perch]

I'll try this, thank you

[gilded blaze]

replace modprefix with your actual mod prefix

[frigid perch]

Yeah in this case it's homies 👍

I will report back

Works, thank you!

Learning, learning

And it appears when it's supposed to

Thanks so much!!

[frigid cargo]

can anyone help me?

[fluid burrow]

What should the joker do?

[frigid cargo]

it give chips and xmult per diamond card scored, and it also gives a different xmult if card scored is steel. My friend wants the two xmult to activate at different times and not together when a diamond steel is played

[frigid cargo]

also thats not the full code, theres another set for just diamond cards

ok

[tall wharf]

card area

[midnight coyote]

why is it so laggy

i am afraid

[sonic cedar]

take a guess /lh

[midnight coyote]

oh why did money double

[gilded blaze]

I'm genuinely scared of your shenanigans

[midnight coyote]

oh

you sold it

why is it lagging so much

[sonic cedar]

aikoyori mod

inevitable

[gilded blaze]

a bunch of random contents, suitable for mod hoarders

[midnight coyote]

i just hard crashed

good god

[gilded blaze]

not to mention their self-insert legendary

that gets stronger the more mods are installed

[tall wharf]

i don't know

[tall wharf]

i come in peace

[gilded blaze]

[midnight coyote]

ok it always just picks one suitt

something has to be fucked with my random

[tall wharf]

also this isn't shenanigans mod

[viral ember]

shouldn't it say SMODS.suits

[gilded blaze]

it's about your forwarded video

[midnight coyote]

no

[viral ember]

oh alr

[tall wharf]

yeah this isn't shenanigans mod

[viral ember]

log _suits before you use it

[tall wharf]

it's called Playbook

[midnight coyote]

the behavior of the function is known to me

[viral ember]

me thinks that's the problem

[midnight coyote]

it returns a table of every suit in the full deck

ive tested this

multiple

times

but ill give it a shot

[gilded blaze]

still feels like your shenanigans
because, like
it plays tetoris?

[viral ember]

👍

[gilded blaze]

so I got confused there

[midnight coyote]

oh

all the values are identical

that makes alot of sense actually

i used a function that would grab a key from a value

but i never accounted for the fact that in a 52 card dec

all the values would be identical

so it would probably just pick one

good old UD

love it

[viral ember]

glad I could help lol

[midnight coyote]

so technically speaking i should probably salt the numbers in the table when i get them back

probably just add a random number from 0 to 1

i dont need the number of cards in the deck, so its worthless to me to keep them 'accurate'

[viral ember]

... why?

why is it nil

it shouldn't be nil

it never returns

[midnight coyote]

did your file save

hit control S for me

always get the stupid things out of the way first

catches me all the time lol

[viral ember]

it wasn't tha

it auto saves

BUT

[midnight coyote]

ah

[chrome widget]

Gonna bump this b/c I'm still really confused what the difference is

[viral ember]

I looked in the collections and it was working

[gilded blaze]

it works in collection but not in game?

huh

that's weird

[viral ember]

I think because I changed it from chips to mult without making a new one it forgot to set

YEP

these ones work

xd

[frigid cargo]

what does Xmult_mod do?

[chrome widget]

the _mod versions of keys allow you to supply unique messages

whereas x_mult/Xmult automatically shows a message for xmult

[frigid cargo]

ah i see thanks

[unborn bay]

technically you don't really need to that anymore with the introduction of xmult_message and remove_default_message

[gilded blaze]

some vanilla jokers still use the _mod counterparts to print the exact same thing as non-ones

which is funny because thunk

[frigid cargo]

how can i return 2 different variables of xmult one after another

[midnight coyote]

works like a charm now

[chrome widget]

[midnight coyote]

SMODS.calculate_effect() is your friend

[unborn bay]

y not extra table

[midnight coyote]

who me

[tropic timber]

hi everyone! sorry if this is a kind of basic question, but ive been staring at the wiki and examples for a bit too long now and cant figure out what im doing wrong :/ i'm making my first mod, right now i just have one joker and i want to test what i have so far. but steamodded doesn't register the mod and im not sure why :O any help is greatly appreciated

[unborn bay]

calculate_effect isn't gonna work for every situation

[midnight coyote]

ah hm

thats what i wouldve done

[daring fern]

return {xmult = number, extra = {xmult = number}}

[viral ember]

also the description references 2 variables (#1# and #2#) but you've only given it card_limit in the local variables

[midnight coyote]

i didnt know that was a thing

;-;

sorry

[frigid cargo]

ah ok thanks

[chrome widget]

Perhaps the mod is just not enabled?

Nothing immediately jumps out at me

[tropic timber]

unless im missing something obvious, it doesnt show up in the mod list to enable?

[viral ember]

could we also get a crash log?

[viral ember]

oh 💀

can we see the metadata

[chrome widget]

Does it print anything in the console about failure to load the mod?

[gilded blaze]

the variable in loc_vars is questionable

[tropic timber]

oh yup! sure enough! the metadata file is invalid the second screenshot here is the entire metadata json file

[tropic timber]

oooh ok, that one i copied from another mod! will have to look into that

[chrome widget]

You're probably missing a metadata field

oh

'prexfix'

[gilded blaze]

that too

💀

so many broken things

[tropic timber]

oops 🤦 thanks LMAO

[viral ember]

can we see it

[gilded blaze]

now your mod loads but the game crashes

[viral ember]

"NAME.json"

[gilded blaze]

change the variable in loc_vars

it's indexing a nil field because of typo

[viral ember]

guys 1 thing at a time, the metadata is failing

[tropic timber]

this is the json file!

[gilded blaze]

that should be it

the game should load your mod but it would also crash

[tropic timber]

ok ive fixed the typo there!

[chrome widget]

"badge_colour": "32A852",
"badge_text_colour": "FFFFFF",
"display_name": "Cardsauce",```

Some other fields you would need I think

[tropic timber]

it's loading now! yay! and hasn't crashed yet :D thank you all for the help

[gilded blaze]

but it shouldn't be G.consumeables.config.card_limit

your joker's variables seem to be the ones related to probability

[tropic timber]

oh true :P admittedly my process for writing that was a bit all over the place. it currently doesn't do the probability, just creates the planet card when the face card is scored (or at least, in theory. haven't tested it yet)

and hey! there's the crash! at least it's loading now 😅

[gilded blaze]

do vars = {card.ability.extra.plan_chance, G.GAME.probabilities.normal}

[gilded blaze]

G.consumeables is a card area that doesn't exist in menu
if you access the collection from there and try to hover the card, it crashes

like I said, set the variable to something else

[gilded blaze]

[tropic timber]

Oook gotcha! Making that change now. Thanks

So... how do you check for enough consumable space instead?

[gilded blaze]

this is how Purple Seal works

it uses a buffer variable

you don't have to create your own, just use what Purple Seal uses
