[mental nacelle]

do you have a localization file

[orchid dawn]

What do you mean by installed? Doesn’t it need to be inside the game files? is it meant to be used like an API, as a requirement, just like all the mods that need Steamodded?

[mental nacelle]

it is a steamodded mod, it just allows for other mods to make challenges with less code

at some point tomorrow i’ll see if i can get something working on one of my mods

(with challenger deep rules in a deck)

[pastel kernel]

I’m never getting the Sisyphus joker finished.

[red flower]

funny

[pastel kernel]

Ironic, isn’t it?

[mental nacelle]

what’s exactly the issue

[pastel kernel]

I’ve been saying this multiple times

It does not trigger value multiplication after defeating a boss blind, in which it should

[frigid perch]

This replaces photograph which is /1.2 y scale in the game's code, how would I go about reversing that

[pastel kernel]

        if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint and G.GAME.blind.boss then
            card.ability.extra.xchips = card.ability.extra.xchips * card.ability.extra.xchips_mod
            card.ability.extra.interest = card.ability.extra.interest * card.ability.extra.dollar_mod
            return {
                message = "Yes, that's it!",
                sound = "sisyphus_yesthatsit",
                colour = G.C.GOLD
            }
        end

this is the snippet in question

[daring fern]

Changing the name but you'd have to recode it, or patching I think.

[mental nacelle]

i don’t think main_eval works with end_of_round

either that or i need sleep

[normal crest]

Does the message trigger

[pastel kernel]

no

[red flower]

main_eval is practically designed for end_of_round

[pastel kernel]

i also tried context.cardarea == G.jokers

[normal crest]

Is that your entire calculate function

[pastel kernel]

here's the full code

[frigid cargo]

joker

[normal crest]

Try temporarily removing the first end_of_round check

[mental nacelle]

i’m guessing the first one overwrites the second

[daring fern]

Then you're going to need to make a custom context.

[granite nymph]

bump

[mental nacelle]

do you have a localization file

[pastel kernel]

you mean on the dollars?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mental nacelle]

(am i right in thinking labels for packs are stored in dictionary = {} of a localization file?)

[normal crest]

just commenting out this entire code

[daring fern]

Yes.

[mental nacelle]

k_prefix_packname or something

pesky markdown

[frigid cargo]

oh ok thanks

[pastel kernel]

How about replacing it with context.setting_blind?

[normal crest]

the point is just to remove it temporarily to see if it's the cause of your 2nd one not triggering

[pastel kernel]

Ok I’ll remove it

[mental nacelle]

mr seals on every is this correct

[daring fern]

No.

[mental nacelle]

:(

[pastel kernel]

still nothing

even after temporarily removing the first one

sorry

brainfart

i meant

context.end_of_round

[formal quest]

How do I set the chips & mult on the UI?

[pastel kernel]

removing the first context.end_of_round didn't work.

[normal crest]

what does your code look like after removing it

[pastel kernel]

--        if context.setting_blind and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then
--            G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars + card.ability.extra.interest
--            return {
--                dollars = card.ability.extra.interest,
--                message = "+$" .. card.ability.extra.interest,
--                sound = "sisyphus_keepemcoming",
--                colour = G.C.MONEY
--            }
--        end

yea it still works

the double hyphen

[normal crest]

wdym it still works

[pastel kernel]

ok hold on, brainfart

it still does not work

the context.end_of_round still does not work

[normal crest]

Do you have any other mods enabled

What steamodded version are you using

And does your mod have any lovely patches

[granite nymph]

bump one last time except seals on everything

[pastel kernel]

Do I have to turn off cryptid?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[pastel kernel]

No lovely patches at all

[normal crest]

Try turning all other mods off

[pastel kernel]

Sisyphus is currently a standalone

[mental nacelle]

how would user yeahhpiehh fix the text at the bottom

these are questions only true balatro fans can know…

[daring fern]

They would put group_key = "Name Pack" in Localization > misc > dictionary

[frigid perch]

Is there not a way to just move the middle card up? It's just retextured Photograph

[pastel kernel]

CRYPTID IS THE PROBLEM AGAIN??

[normal crest]

in your localization file, under misc -> dictionary -> <key_of_your_set>_pack = "some string"

[pastel kernel]

This is also a problem for my Sans joker

[formal quest]

How do I change the displayed chips and mult? This isn't working

[normal crest]

Sorry yes, it's whatever key you put as group_key on your booster

[pastel kernel]

Originally Sans was going to add club aces for every scored card in played hand

[daring fern]

mult = mod_mult(...) hand_chips = mod_chips(...)

[ocean goblet]

aight so i am working on a

very funny joker

[pastel kernel]

But because of cryptid’s overrides, sans instead creates random enhanced playing cards

[ocean goblet]

how would one go about checking a card's sprite's position in its atlas during calculation

[formal quest]

I'm hooking CardArea.parse_highlighted, can I still do that?

[daring fern]

You can still set variables yes.

[ocean goblet]

it's based on an injoke between friends and i where

you get a bonus if a card is scored literally when the thing blinks lmao

checking that is like the one roadblock to it for me

[daring fern]

card.config.center.pos?

[ocean goblet]

thank!! will try now

[granite nymph]

how would i do that using a loc_txt

[ocean goblet]

like so?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and card.config.center.pos == { x = 0, y = 1 } then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
                    return{
                message = "blink",
                chips = card.ability.extra.mod1,
                card = card
            }
                end }))
        end
    end

[normal crest]

set group_name = "whatever"

inside loc_txt

[pastel kernel]

Ok so selecting a boss blind works.

That’s a better workaround

[ocean goblet]

oh god that actually gives me a further idea

I CANT SEND MY MARIO GIFS

[granite nymph]

so does that mean i would have to port everything i’ve already did to a loc.txt

[ocean goblet]

but tis the block that switches powerup sprites

and it could be a joker thats some shit like "when x happens gain y" based on that sprite

[daring fern]

No, you would just have to create a localization file and put it in.

[formal quest]

It seems to work. I'm still having problems with indexing the hands though so it crashes before that. I'm trying to get the played and contained hands but I'm either getting them wrong or passing them in wrong.

[ocean goblet]

doesn't seem to be working, at least not as i had it written

[formal quest]

237 is the highlighted line

[ocean goblet]

any other ideas on how to check the thing?

[daring fern]

card.children.center.sprite_pos?

[normal crest]

why are you calling the function twice.
also you put value instead of index

[formal quest]

I'm trying to get the played hand and contained hands separately, though I may have misinterpreted what the function does. I tried swapping index to value to see if it would work but both crash the same way.

[normal crest]

no, you swap value to index

[ocean goblet]

i have no idea if calculate would run often enough to make this a valid way of testing it but it doesn't seem to be being printed?

[normal crest]

you can get both values from one function call local _, played, contained = G.FUNCS etc etc

[daring fern]

When is the sprite being changed?

[idle plaza]

When you use pairs in a for loop like that, value is just short for contained[index]

[normal crest]

you have to compare the values of the table separately

[ocean goblet]

random chance to when the card is drawn, upon which it sets a int value for how many frames that lasts, and when it runs out it changes it back

[formal quest]

Ok, well those are some nice suggestions to clean up my code but it still has the same issue

[normal crest]

and what does your code look like now

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why the joker doesn't draw this when it has an edition (excluding foil)?

draw = function(self, card, layer)
    if card.config.center.discovered then
        if (layer == 'card' or layer == 'both') and card.sprite_facing == 'front' then
            local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
                0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)) * math.pi * 14) *
                (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 3
            local rotate_mod = 0.1 * math.sin(1.219 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
                0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL) * math.pi * 5) * (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 2

            local image = Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95, G.ASSET_ATLAS["willatro_WillatroOrgans"], {x = 1, y = 0})
            image.role.draw_major = card
            image:draw_shader('dissolve', 0, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod, nil,
                0.1 + 0.03 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL), nil, 0.6)
            image:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
        end
    end
end

[formal quest]

A polished crash

[pastel kernel]

Why does Optimus prime transform whenever a hand is played?

[ocean goblet]

just poking to make sure you saw my response

[formal quest]

No difference

[normal crest]

Okay I see, for some reason contained has a key called top

In your if statement do if played ~= index and G.GAME.hands[index] then

[formal quest]

No crash but also no effect

[normal crest]

well that's cus you're updating the value but not the text

[formal quest]

Do I need to update the text after?

Alright

I tried figuring out updating the text a while back but couldn't quite get it

[normal crest]

update_hand_text({ delay = 0 }, { mult = mult, chips = hand_chips })

[wild escarp]

Anyone familiar with the draw method?

[formal quest]

Well this is strange

[normal crest]

actually I haven't asked what your goal is

[formal quest]

My goal is to add the chips & mult of contained hands to the hand

[normal crest]

here do hand_chips = hand_chips + <the stuff you have> and the same with mult

tho depending on when you're doing this those values might be overridden when you play the hand

[formal quest]

That's probably fine. I've been assuming I'd have to implement showing the base score and actually adding it separately.

[wild escarp]

bump

[formal quest]

So I should store the added chips & mult in a new variable and add it on, right?

[ocean goblet]

still looking for help regarding this. this code as of now is not working

[formal quest]

Doesn't work. hand_chips is nil.

[normal crest]

they shouldn't be nil 🤔

maybe you're doing this too early

[formal quest]

How would I do this any later?

[wild escarp]

bump

[normal crest]

try doing hand_chips = (hand_chips or 0) + contain_chips

same with mult

[formal quest]

I can just keep selecting cards and the numbers go up forever. They also go up even when it's just high card.

It could be another line at fault here but it could still be this one

[normal crest]

well you'd have to set hand_chips and mult to 0 before the call to poker_hand_info for example

[formal quest]

An explanation of the code at play here would help cause I'm new to lua/balatro and I want to learn from this, not just fix one problem

Is this code even filtering the contained hands?

[fallow breach]

how do i get the game to read which suits are held in hand

[normal crest]

yeah, you're only considering contained hands that are not the final played one

[daring fern]

Why are you excluding non-Club suits?

[fallow breach]

because it's a joker that only activates when you have one suit in hand

similar to blackboard but generic

so if you hold all diamonds in hand or all clubs in hand

i wrote this out for each specific instance of suit

[daring fern]

Have you tried looking at Blackboard?

[fallow breach]

i did and that's where i got the base from

[normal crest]

so you're summing up the mult and chips of every hand contained in the highlighted cards that isn't the played one, then you're modifying the global variables that balatro vanilla uses to set chips and mult (hand_mult should be just mult btw), and then you're updating the text

that's pretty much it

[fallow breach]

mine on the left and blackboard on the right

[formal quest]

Blackboard counts all wild cards as a spade/club

[daring fern]

What you should be checking is if the cards in hands suit is the same as the first card in hands suit.

[fallow breach]

how does that work

[formal quest]

Which instance of hand_mult are you referring to?

[fallow breach]

also yes i'm aware my code on the left is absurd but i wanted to try it myself before coming here lol

[wild escarp]

bump

[normal crest]

all

[ocean goblet]

its probably joever for the both of us ngl

[daring fern]

local nonwild
for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
    if not SMODS.has_any_suit(v) then
        nonwild = v
        break
    end
end
local pass = true
if not nonwild then nonwild = G.hand.cards[1] end
for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
    if not v:is_suit(nonwild.base.suit) then
        pass = false
        break
    end
end
if pass then
    -- add chips
end
```?

[snow breach]

How do I create a consumable that makes a joker of a certain pool? Here's the current code that does not work.

[daring fern]

Remove pools and do set = "SinJ"

[formal quest]

Could you indicate more clearly what you're suggesting? Cause I tried your suggesstion multiple ways, and even fixed some of them, and none of them work right

[fallow breach]

this will go under the calculate function?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[normal crest]

hand_chips and mult

tho idk what the issue is anymore

[snow breach]

It immediately crashed.

On use.

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Did you define SinJ as an SMODS.ObjectType?

[keen atlas]

are you trying to add playing cards' chips and mult to the base or smthn, or all highlighted cards?

[snow breach]

SSinJ is the name of the pool I added all the sin jokers to.

[formal quest]

I'm trying to add the chips & mult of all contained hand types, in addition to the played hand

[daring fern]

Yes, did you define it as a SMODS.ObjectType?

[snow breach]

No, I guess not. Where and how do I do that.

[daring fern]

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

[formal quest]

It's displaying the combined chips & mult of every hand type in the game, minus the one played

[keen atlas]

try

local playedHandType, handText, contained = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(self.highlighted)
local chips, mult = G.GAME.hands[playedHandType].chips, G.GAME.hands[playedHandType].mult

for handType, handInfo in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    chips = chips + handInfo.chips
    mult = mult + handInfo.mult
end

update_hand_text({ delay = 0 }, { mult = mult, chips = chips })

[normal crest]

Ohhh

[formal quest]

I'm pretty sure it's not actually filtering for contained hands at all

[normal crest]

In your if add and #value > 0

That'll check if there's at least one match for that hand

Sorry I was distracted with something else I didn't realize that was missing

[keen atlas]

i kinda didnt get what you wanted so my answer differs alot 😓

[formal quest]

Looks good. I put that in and it adds all the contained hands, though it doesn't actually add the played hand. I can fix that pretty easily. In the meantime though I want to add your part onto @keen atlas 's solution cause the code has gotten pretty messy by this point.

[normal crest]

The played hand ignoring comes from played ~= index I was under the impression you wanted that

Also your code is fine as it is and frostice's isn't really a solution to what you wanted

[formal quest]

I should probably just clean up the code myself so yeah

It seems to work. I'm gonna test planet cards real quick

Yep. Pair lv. 2, high card & two pair 1

One small issue, using a planet card while cards are selected clears the entire text display

[keen atlas]

its vanilla effect. try calling the G.hand:parse_highlighted() after using planet card

[formal quest]

For some reason it's applying the effect even though I don't have the joker

[normal crest]

Do if next(SMODS.find_card etc etc) then

[formal quest]

if SMODS.find_card("j_givl_orbit", false) then

[normal crest]

find_card returns a table of every card found, next checks that it has at least 1 element

[round furnace]

ok

anyways how does one get started

[normal crest]

#1349064230825103441

[orchid thunder]

anyone know why this isnt working

shoot wait

too big to send as message

[shell timber]

anyways implementing an entire new combat system is probably not going to be the easiest first project

[umbral zodiac]

hi smg

[normal crest]

assuming this is inside the calculate joker function and if your joker is made with smods then you don't need to lovely patch this

[lone dove]

hey yall i have the debug mod and every time i spawn in one of my own jokers it crashes, im tryna test em and idrk what to do

i cant tell if its the debug mod or mine

[umbral zodiac]

i know nothing about this but if i had to assume its either your mod or a buggy version of debugplus and you should just update

[orchid thunder]

hi i hate this joker

[umbral zodiac]

again you can change the effect
so long as it is an objectively better version of the original and it's unique in some way its good

the doc was just an initial guideline, i don't follow it most of the time if i come up with a better idea last minute

[orchid thunder]

i tried couldnt get it to work

[normal crest]

what was the issue

[orchid thunder]

its not doing the copying

and when i tried it with smods i would only get it to work with a weird retrigger error message

whats worse is i have a joker that is almost exactly like this and it works but this doesnt

[formal quest]

Thanks, it works now

The score is displaying as it should. I can move on to actually scoring it now.

[orchid thunder]

omfg did i literly just have to return bp_extras

[formal quest]

On the side, I want this joker to also make contained hands count as played hands for effects like to-do, hand counts, etc. How possible is that and what interactions could get confusing?

[fallow breach]

is there a way to track which poker hand was played last

across everything, not just a single round

[formal quest]

Possible either way but your definition of everything makes a big difference

Between runs or no?

[fallow breach]

no just within a single run

[daring fern]

Yes.

[fallow breach]

lay it on me

[daring fern]

G.GAME.last_hand_played?

[fallow breach]

alrighty

[crisp coral]

what was the calculate return for not pitching when scoring mult

[orchid thunder]

how do i add the compatable to a joker

[celest aspen]

anyone know how to prevent a joker that retriggers other jokers from also retriggering itself? Its main ability is chips, but has a slim chance to retrigger other jokers,

[hasty mist]

does this work? im somewhat confident that it works for the modded consumables since i was able to find a gateway in a spectral pack during testing, but im not so sure soul and black hole work

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L3820 ?

[balmy hearth]

idk why its swapping 3 and 2 and adding "remaining" behind the 2

[orchid thunder]

does adding 3 not work?

?

[fallow breach]

how would i check during joker_main if my current hand is equal to this

i cannot figure it out 😔

the only time i see this used in an official joker is for hanging chad's unlock condition

[daring fern]

context.scoring_name?

[fallow breach]

i tried that, not sure if i did it right tho

[daring fern]

It's used for blue seal.

my joker completely crashes my game could someone help look over my code

😭

im new to this so idk much

[orchid thunder]

i dont think context.won is a context

[fallow breach]

oh i think i've been misinterpreting it

i want to keep track of the previous hand played, not the last played hand in a round

i don't think there's a way to that with vanilla mechanics though

[hasty mist]

what is the default soul_rate? literally every source i have is conflicting

[balmy hearth]

can someone help?

[daring fern]

No, that's what it does.

[fallow breach]

ok well idk what i'm missing

[lone dove]

what would i use instead

[fallow breach]

something like this

[orchid thunder]

you can use the smods wiki to help you

[frigid cargo]

what does local ret = {} do?

[orchid thunder]

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

[daring fern]

It sets a local variable with the name ret to an empty table.

[frigid cargo]

ah ok im just tweaking that

[orchid thunder]

anyone know how to add 3 of these

        end

i dont understand how psuedorandom works, can someone help me?

[fallow breach]

for context, this ALWAYS triggers the xmult, as your last played hand and your current hand are techincally the same thing

i'm trying to figure out a way to store the hand you play when you play it, to then be compared and replaced by subsequent hands

but that's way outside my knowledge

[snow vale]

how can i make so i cant destroy a joker without using eternal sticker?

[faint yacht]

Store last played hand in the Joker (or make a custom G.GAME variable) with context.after in mind.

[hasty mist]

why is this always applying, instead of just when the variable is true?

did i return wrong somehow

[hard flume]

Does anyone have a guide on lovely patching?

[gaunt thistle]

I don't think a guide exists. Best option is to copy what other mods have done.

[hard flume]

Oki oki got it

[gaunt thistle]

It's conceptually simple: search for some code that matches some pattern, insert a payload before, after, or at (which replaces the matched code)

They patches are complicated but they operate more or less the same way

Copy just wholesale moves code into the target file.

And module patches inject Lua modules

[chrome widget]

Is there an effective way to rotate a card in place?

[hard flume]

Mmmm! Got it

[chrome widget]

Cards have their origins at the top left rather than the center so I imagine it's not straightforward

[hasty mist]

the global variable here is set to false on game start, yet this hook uses my hooked function rather than the original one

[gaunt thistle]

Can you transform along an width/2 and height/2 offset from the origin?

[hard flume]

Tysm... what do i call you? Do I call you meth? Rul? Just metherul?

[gaunt thistle]

Meth is fine haha

[gaunt thistle]

Let me know if you have any issues. I can forward complaints to the lovely dev as well

[hard flume]

Oki, got it. Sorry, wasn't sure.

Tysm again though!

[chrome widget]

remember trying this and getting some weird results but let me see

[gaunt thistle]

Gotcha

[gaunt thistle]

Ah and ask on the lovely thread if I don't respond here

These general chats move fast

[native zinc]

John Lovely is usually pretty busy yeah

[gaunt thistle]

Psh

[subtle merlin]

Nvm, i think i understand

[hard flume]

The reason I need lovely patches is cuz im trying to make a custom modifier. I know stickers would be easier, but that wouldn't be allowing for what I want it to do tbh.

[gaunt thistle]

That's pretty reasonable

Just refrain from deleting code and you'll be fine

[hard flume]

I assumed that's the case, yeah, haha.

[gaunt thistle]

Lovely patches take some finesse to ensure that they don't break other mods

[hard flume]

Yeah; im gonna make sure to test compatibility with other mods

[faint yacht]

-# me with overwrite = true:

[gaunt thistle]

Ah yeah and give me feedback on the dev process in the lovely thread. I'm working on dev tooling on my vacation so I'd like input on what sucks.

[gaunt thistle]

that field has never done anything lol

[hard flume]

I will :3

[faint yacht]

...does it not?

[gaunt thistle]

iirc nope

never had

[faint yacht]

I involve it quite a bunch to overwrite bits... https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/main/lovely.toml

[gaunt thistle]

the overwrite field doesn't make sense considering the only way to overwrite code is with at so

[gaunt thistle]

Ah then I'm misremembering

Tbf I just woke up haha

[hasty mist]

for context im trying to hook into this cryptid function (first image), but specifically NOT running the Cryptid.pointerblistifytype("rarity", "cry_exotic", nil) line if ast.safe_pointer is true (second image), but for some reason its NEVER running Cryptid.pointerblistifytype("rarity", "cry_exotic", nil), even if the global variable isn't true

[faint yacht]

Fair.

[gaunt thistle]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/blob/master/crates%2Flovely-core%2Fsrc%2Fpatch%2Fpattern.rs#L27

I knew I wasn't crazy haha

[faint yacht]

...I stand corrected-

[next timber]

how do i make the value in a joker description live update? i know there's misprint but that just changes randomly through a random feature with dynatext, which isnt what i need

[gaunt thistle]

dump_all doesn't do anything either

bwahaha

I plan on reforming the patch format soonish

[hasty mist]

im so confused help would really be appreciated

[gaunt thistle]

have you verified that your hook is being run?

[vast night]

in what sense?

[next timber]

its fine ive already figured it out lol

[tranquil cypress]

how were you able to do it if you don't mind me asking?

[ancient mango]

how do i make it so that bottom_hat only activates if its adjacent to top_hathere is the code:

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "bottom_hat",
    atlas = 'SpiderSushiMod',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { chips = 50, mult = 50 } },
    rarity = 1,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 3,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult, colours = { HEX('FF9A00') } } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

[next timber]

G.UIT.T objects have config.ref_table and config.ref_value, so i gave each joker a table at ability.extra.id_table to use as a key in G.GAME.rend_lowpercent_vals, set the ref_table to G.GAME.rend_lowepercent_vals, and set the ref_value to ability.extra.id_table
the id_table can just be empty since every table in lua is unique

so when the game shows the text, it checks ref_table[ref_value]

very useful

[next timber]

here ya go

[rotund sable]

Bump

[maiden phoenix]

Check for your joker in a loop, save its pos, check if G.jokers.cards[pos-1] and [pos+1] exists and if one of them is top hat

Ceremonial Dagger does the pos thing if you need a ref

[ancient mango]

i dont really know lua or how to do loops(in lua)

[maiden phoenix]

Ah

Do you know of VanillaRemade

[ancient mango]

thats why i need help

[tranquil cypress]

Thank you!

[ancient mango]

i know the logic just not the code

[maiden phoenix]

Cant give more specific help rn sorry

[ancient mango]

yea but i dont understand the code

[maiden phoenix]

Darn

[copper thorn]

how can i regroup all of my jokers in one group to make it that i can make something like that

25 * all_jokers_from_thismod

[frigid cargo]

have you put your jokers in a pool? if so you can just call that pool

[next timber]

turns out this breaks when you try to save

moving it from G.GAME to REND (my mod variable) might help?

[copper thorn]

haven't thought of that, i feel kinda dumb x)

[frigid cargo]

it ok lol, happens to most of us

[lapis minnow]

Hey so, I wanna make a balatro mod. How do you get started? I want to at first, just add a few simple Jokers. That makes wild cards give +50 chips, +5 mult, and x2 mult when scored.

I just have no clue where to start is the thing, not sure what programs I’ll need, what language I’ll code in, or any other info. I was wondering if there’s a beginner guide of sorts?

[copper thorn]

first i suggest you install Microsoft Visual Code, then read steammodeed's first mod guide, try to read other mods code to see what it looks like then start doing what you think seems good and does what you want and ask the discord if you need help, i suggest to wtach videos too it helps alot

Visual Studio Code *

[lapis minnow]

Have Visual code already, I used it for my Pokémon romhack so that’s good to have

[copper thorn]

then i won't say "go in the jungle by yourself" but it worked out for me although i don't suggest for you to do it

try going bit by bit

and install steammoded that's easier and just a must-have for making mods

[lapis minnow]

Thank ya, I will go grab that

[copper thorn]

i think it's just needed to have steammodded

[copper thorn]

no worries :)

i can lend you one of my begginer .lua (im a begginer too) so you can see :) just don't steal my jokers pretty please

and gosh has this server helped me

[lapis minnow]

I will steal nothing, stealings no good

[copper thorn]

good

[frigid cargo]

DO NOT be shy to ask for help here, as a beginner myself people here were VERY helpful

[copper thorn]

indeed

i'd say 25% of my mod if not more is possible because of these incredible persons

[frigid cargo]

Also when asking help on your code, use three of these little thingy on the beginning and end (`)

It creates this

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1349064230825103441
also check this, it can help

[lapis minnow]

Thank ya

[hasty mist]

how would i create a booster pack in the consumable slot?

[crisp coral]

smods.create_card the booster, then g.consumeables:emplace it

[copper thorn]

and put "lua" just after the first three thingy to make it more enjoyable to read

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "Parada",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "{C:legendary}Pa{}{C:gold}ra{}{C:common}da{}",
        text = {
            "Gains {X:mult,C:white}X1{} Mult",
            "every time that {C:attention}scoring hand",
            "contains {C:attention}three{} scoring cards",
            "{C:inactive}(Currently {X:mult,C:white}X#1#{C:inactive} Mult)"
        }
    },
    atlas = "LegParada",
    soul_pos = {x = 0, y = 1},
    rarity = 4,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0},
    cost = 10,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    config = { extra = { repetitions = 1 } },

for exmple

[ancient mango]

how do i make it so that bottom_hat only activates if its adjacent to top_hathere is the code:

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "bottom_hat",
    atlas = 'SpiderSushiMod',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { chips = 50, mult = 50 } },
    rarity = 1,
    discovered = true,
    cost = 3,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult, colours = { HEX('FF9A00') } } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

[copper thorn]

and it seems i don't know how to do such simple things as pools

[frigid cargo]

Have you tried checking to the left and right of joker using positioning?

[ancient mango]

i dont know how

[copper thorn]

i jut put

pools = 
{ 
  [name of pool] = true

}

in the jokers infos ?

[crisp coral]

1. loop through G.jokers.cards to find its own position
2. check G.jokers.cards[pos+1] and [pos-1]

[ancient mango]

yea ik but i dont know how to loop like i barely know lua andi dont know where to learn lua

[feral cove]

is perma_mult not usable when discarded or

[frigid cargo]

What i do is this

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'TWOPAIR',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'TWO PAIR!!!',
        text = {
            'Gain {C:money}$2{} if poker hand is a {C:attention}Two Pair{}.'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'TWOPAIR',
    pools = {["Batrocities"] = true},

As you can see in the very bottom i have it as a pool for my mod

-- Batrocity joker pool
SMODS.ObjectType({
    key = "Batrocity",
    default = "j_Batrocities_MichaelWave",
    cards = {},
    inject = function(self)
        SMODS.ObjectType.inject(self)
    end,
})

In my core i have this

[copper thorn]

'k thanks :)

[frigid cargo]

Np

[feral cove]

bump

line 19 is

context.other_card.ability.perma_mult = (context.other_card.ability.perma_mult or 0) + card.ability.extra.mult

[copper thorn]

what's wrong ? it crashes when i get my mouse on the joker that uses j_deity_all and when said joker triggers, every joker has the pools = {["deity"] = true}

[hasty mist]

what have i done wrong here

[copper thorn]

( i missed a { in the screenshot, there is no chrash-able syntaw error)

[hasty mist]

just trying to create a negative mega spectral pack

[maiden phoenix]

What crash do you get

[hasty mist]

this is what i get

[maiden phoenix]

Oh I didnt see properly, the paameter for SMODS.create_card isnt the same as the og create_card

[hasty mist]

ah

[maiden phoenix]

SMODS.add_card{key = boosterkey, area ...}

Smt like this

[feral cove]

bump x2 before I go offline

any modders here who's interested please I need an answer

[frigid cargo]

So when you select jokers of a pool youre gonna want to put j_MODKEY_POOLNAME

[copper thorn]

ohhhh

[frigid cargo]

Sorry im not very familiar with lua but is context.other_card.abilty.perma_mult an actual thing? Just a question in which i MIGHT be able help

[copper thorn]

still crashed :/

[feral cove]

in smods' wiki there's a page called "permanent bonuses" or something like that

it gives you a list of permanent things that can be given to playing cards, like how hiker does it with perma_bonus

this one

[copper thorn]

you don't wanna use it for that just makes it so that card_ability_mult = card_ability_mult + card_ability_extra_mult

[feral cove]

well I wanted to have a hiker-like effect to my cards but with mult instead of chips and hiker uses this perma_bobus thing

bonus**

[frigid cargo]

Have you tried checking hiker’s code for reference?

[feral cove]

yes I did

[frigid cargo]

Lemme check it rq

[copper thorn]

ok, it's because i us e this :

 if context.before and #context.scoring_hand == 3 then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain```

for if a scoring hands coontains 3 scoring cards

i don't use perms and it does the same job as your should do

[feral cove]

would it save the previously obtained mult though
the idea behind this deck is "gain permanent +2 mult after discard"

[copper thorn]

yes it does

[feral cove]

oh

interesting

[copper thorn]

i fell like it's easiet imo

[feral cove]

k I'll try it when I get back on my pc I gotta go offline now

[copper thorn]

'k byeeeee

[frigid cargo]

So youre tryna get the amount of jokers you have from your mod total right?

[copper thorn]

yeah

have all mu jokers in one pool

my*

then make it so that one of my jokers does X25 mult for every card in this pool in the joker space

[frigid cargo]

Wait, so all your jokers total? Or joker you have just in the joker area?

[copper thorn]

? let me re explain

the jokers does X25 mult for every joker in the pool you own (during game not in collection)

the poll has every card from the mod

[frigid cargo]

Heres what i have for a similar joker i have so you can just have reference if you want

SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'Grooph',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Grooph',
        text = {
            '{C:attention}Shape{} Jokers give {X:red,C:white}X1.3{} Mult.'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'Grooph',
    pools = { ["Shape"] = true, ["Batrocities"] = true },

    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    pos = {x=0, y=0},
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,

    config = { extra = {xmult = 1.3} },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.other_joker then
            if (context.other_joker.config.center.pools or {})["Shape"] then
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
                }
            end
        end
    end,
}

Did you understand what i did for mine?

[copper thorn]

yes and no, i understand you code but it doesn't help me understand what i should do on mine

[idle plaza]

Your issue here is that card.ability doesn't exist because """card""" (back) doesn't get an ability field. You need self.config.extra.mult instead. That's the only one available to decks, for whatever reason.

[copper thorn]

ena mentioned

[frigid cargo]

Copy the context that i have maybe?

That might be what you need

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.other_joker then
            if (context.other_joker.config.center.pools or {})["deity"] then
                return {
                    xmult = 25
                }
            end
        end
    end,
}

Might this work for your calculate?

[frigid cargo]

Lemme see ur code

[copper thorn]

sooo uh it doesn't crash anymore but it retriiggers other "deity" cards and does X25 at each retrigger

[copper thorn]

the file or a copy ?

[frigid cargo]

Just a ss of the code here is fine

[copper thorn]

... x)

[frigid cargo]

Is that not what you wanted?

[copper thorn]

no, i just want X25 per "deity" not a retrigger

[frigid cargo]

OH

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    local deitycount = 0
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.pools and G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.pools.deity then
            deitycount = deitycount + 1
        end
    end
card.ability.extra.xmult = deitycount * 25
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
        }
    end
end,

Might that be it? Sorry it took a while im doing this on phone

[copper thorn]

no worries i can wait, your helping me i won't complain

[frigid cargo]

Can i see code for line 279?

[frigid cargo]

Oh mb do you have a config variable for xmult?

[copper thorn]

nope, that's what i thought

[frigid cargo]

Yeah add an xmult variable and set it to 25

That should fix it

[copper thorn]

to be clear, like this ?

[frigid cargo]

Yes but you can also put it in a line like this: config = { extra = { xmult = 25 }},

Makes it cleaner if you want

[copper thorn]

i know i just prefer like it for who knows why

[frigid cargo]

Real

[copper thorn]

but i tested and the card just does not triggers now

[frigid cargo]

Does it give the mult?

[copper thorn]

no, nothing it just stands here, menacingly

[frigid cargo]

Send the entire joker ss including the atlas parts and stuff

whata else is needed ?

and i misspelled "ancient" in the desc x)

[frigid cargo]

Wait whats the return in the loc_vars supposed to do?

[placid star]

NOO CURSE YOU THUNK

[idle plaza]

Your config is missing a second }

[copper thorn]

on an ancient version, without it it wouldn't trigger

[frigid cargo]

OH

[copper thorn]

nope, it's at the end of the joker

[frigid cargo]

Huh?

No

[copper thorn]

maybe it was sorry i got lost

[idle plaza]

That just means a shitload of your properties are also stuffed in your config. Pretty sure they're not supposed to be there.

[frigid cargo]

Like here i have 2 “}” in the end

[frigid cargo]

Real

[copper thorn]

i figured yeah

it still doesn't work

[frigid cargo]

Game was prob wondering why there was so much properties

[copper thorn]

x)

[frigid cargo]

Whats happening now?

[copper thorn]

i feel like sisyphus

[copper thorn]

same, no trigger

just here no mult no nothing

[frigid cargo]

Hmm

You did remove the } in the end right?

[copper thorn]

and note : in the ss i haven't updtated the desc don,t follow what it says

[copper thorn]

yh

[frigid cargo]

Ok

How bout try checking if the joker main is even working

[copper thorn]

?

[frigid cargo]

We can tell then if its a problem on the context or not

Like instead of card.ability.extra.xmult just put 25

[copper thorn]

every extra.mult ?

or only the return one

[frigid cargo]

Only the return in the joker_main

[frigid cargo]

Whats on line 283

[copper thorn]

card.ability.extra.xmult = deitycount * 25

[frigid cargo]

Dawg im tweaking as well

[copper thorn]

me too

what in the crackheads is happenning ?

[frigid cargo]

Send new code rn

[ancient mango]

in smods how do i define my own pker hand parts like i want one that is like the first 4 cards are a flush(like with four fingers) and the last 4 cards are stright(like with four fingers) but i dont know where and how to define the part:

SMODS.PokerHandPart {
    key = "gay"
    func(hand)
}

SMODS.PokerHand {
    key = "Gay Flush",
    mult = 10,
    chips = 110,
    l_mult = 5,
    l_chips = 45,
    example = {
        { 'S_K', true },
        { 'S_J', true },
        { 'S_T', true },
        { 'S_9', true },
        { 'H_8', true }
    }
}

[copper thorn]

...... Gay||Penis|| mod replace the 'straight' in 'gay' look at it maybe

[red flower]

that just changes the name as far as i know

[frigid cargo]

Dawg i cant help you now, im tweaking i cannot see anything wrong

[copper thorn]

me neither T-T

[ancient mango]

bro how define the fuckiung part hand thing (also the name doesnt really matter)

[placid star]

whats the error

[frigid cargo]

This

[copper thorn]

and the card does not trigger back when it won't crash

[placid star]

what is the line it crashes on

the code i mean

[frigid cargo]

This^2

[jagged zodiac]

the art isn't right yet appearently, but I just made this amazing jonkler

[copper thorn]

283, i know the error on this one and corrected it

[frigid cargo]

Jimba

[red flower]

they mean what's the line in the code

[frigid cargo]

Ah

[copper thorn]

card.ability.extra.xmult = deitycount * 25

[jagged zodiac]

I haven't actually tested if it works :(
Imma install 'debugplus' to try

[frigid cargo]

Very helpful mod

[red flower]

try putting everything in calculate that's outside the joker_main check inside the joker_main check

[frigid cargo]

N' the goat

[copper thorn]

? my french ass is lost i don't understand what you mean

[frigid cargo]

Put everything outside of the joker_main, inside the joker_main

From deitycount to 25

[jagged zodiac]

wait, you can't add jokers with it??

[placid star]

u werent lying huh

[placid star]

u can, press 3 on them in the collection

[jagged zodiac]

ah thanks

[copper thorn]

?

like this

[frigid cargo]

Also hold tab for stuff 🙂

[jagged zodiac]

:((

[red flower]

nope, only the stuff inside calculate

[jagged zodiac]

ah alright

[placid star]

ooh and press "/" to run code such as eval to check vars inside the game

[frigid cargo]

Dont add calculate, thats still outside of joker_main

[frigid cargo]

Code?

[copper thorn]

like this ?

[jagged zodiac]

ah, I've edited it from SampleJimbos which I found somewhere

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "jimba",                                 --name used by the joker.    
    config = { extra = { chips = 30 } },    --variables used for abilities and effects.
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },                              --pos in spritesheet 0,0 for single sprites or the first sprite in the spritesheet.
    rarity = 1,                                          --rarity 1=common, 2=uncommen, 3=rare, 4=legendary
    cost = 2,                                            --cost to buy the joker in shops.
    blueprint_compat=true,                               --does joker work with blueprint.
    eternal_compat=true,                                 --can joker be eternal.
    unlocked = true,                                     --is joker unlocked by default.
    discovered = true,                                   --is joker discovered by default.    
    effect=nil,                                          --you can specify an effect here eg. 'Mult'
    soul_pos=nil,                                        --pos of a soul sprite.
    atlas = 'jimba',                                -- atlas name, single sprites are deprecated.

    calculate = function(self,context)                   --define calculate functions here
        if card.debuff then return nil end               --if joker is debuffed return nil
        if context.joker_main and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            return { -- returns total chips from joker to be used in scoring, no need to show message in joker_main phase, game does it for us.
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips, 
                colour = G.C.CHIPS
            }
        end
    end,

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)                              --defines variables to use in the UI. you can use #1# for example to show the chips variable
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips }, key = self.key }
    end
}

[red flower]

you don't need to check for card.debuff

idk why they kept that

[jagged zodiac]

oh

is that automatically done??

[red flower]

yes

key = self.key is also not needed

oh the problem is that you're missing an argument in calculate

it should be (self, card, context)

[jagged zodiac]

I'll try

wowow thanks ^>^

[red flower]

i recommend checking this for examples btw
https://github.nh6574.com/vanillaremade

[jagged zodiac]

thank you ^>^

time to add the 7 or 8 orso other ideas I had

there should only be one that's actually like, complicated

[copper thorn]

bump

[red flower]

does that work

[red flower]

did you restart the run before testing?

[jagged zodiac]

wait

the spectral card for purple seals is called medium..

[copper thorn]

i restarded now and it triggers but only does X25 even though other "deity"s are here

[jagged zodiac]

I wanted to call one of my jokers 'medium'...

[red flower]

yeah because you hardcoded it to 25 to test, change it back to card.ability.extra.xmult

[copper thorn]

ok now it works just fine, thanks you so much N it has been 2 hours i/we are/am on it

[modern kindle]

Hi N how fares the illness

[red flower]

😞

[placid star]

:))

[frigid cargo]

Good job, i completely forgot about restarting the run

[red flower]

oh yeah that was it, amazing

[umbral zodiac]

how do you get a cards display name from its center

[jagged zodiac]

it's very blurry but I'll fix that later yay

also the x1.5 isn't coloured for some reason

[red flower]

localize{type = "name_text" set = center.set, key = center.key}

[umbral zodiac]

wait im stupid whats center.name then

[jagged zodiac]

I'll show these in a thread now to not flood this channel :v

[red flower]

it's the english name of the joker for vanilla and the key without the prefixes for mods

[umbral zodiac]

i see

[frigid cargo]

In the text make the x1.5 become {X:red,C:white}x1.5{}

[jagged zodiac]

ah thanks

I had "{C:xmult}x#1#{} Mult"

[rotund sable]

why is it crashing when i open up the collection??

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "LetsGoGambling", 
    path = "letsgogambling.png", 
    px = 71,
    py = 95, 
    frames = 40,
    atlas_table = "ANIMATION_ATLAS"
}):register()

...
atlas = "LetsGoGambling",
pos = {x=0, y=0},
...

[frigid cargo]

Yes yes thats good

No mb i ment the #1#

[jagged zodiac]

it didn't work though

[rotund sable]

{X:mult,C:white}

[frigid cargo]

I need to be more specific

[jagged zodiac]

oh yeah that's what the example mod did :v

[frigid cargo]

What #(no.)# does is it represents what the return is on the loc_vars

That prob does not makes sense

[red flower]

try removing the :register() part

[rotund sable]

sure but i had it on every other atlas and it worked ¯_(ツ)_/¯

still the same error

[red flower]

is this for a blind?

[jagged zodiac]

how do you scale these images without making them blurry??

[frigid cargo]

What do you use for drawing?

[rotund sable]

a joker

[jagged zodiac]

oh wait

I think I found something

[red flower]

oh jokers don't take animation atlas

[jagged zodiac]

uhh some random ass program named Krita

[rotund sable]

sad

[frigid cargo]

Im not the drawer for my mod, im just the coder. My friend uses pixilart

[rotund sable]

wait then how are some jokers animated

[red flower]

they manually change sprites in update

[jagged zodiac]

can you reload mods without quiting and restarting the entire game??

[red flower]

no

[jagged zodiac]

alright

[frigid cargo]

I wish

[rotund sable]

if you're not doing it already you can press alt+F5 to restart the game

[jagged zodiac]

I don't think I can because I'm on Linux but I'll try

[placid star]

i get a crash here and i know its because of my checking lug, but im not sure why

[jagged zodiac]

oh, it does work!!

[red flower]

lug[1] and ...?

[red flower]

not the same thing

in lua empty tables are truthy

[placid star]

so lug[1] instead?

but the crash only started when i started search through the results from the find_card

[red flower]

yeah but it has to be at the beginning of the check

[placid star]

so this should be better, but i dont think this fixes my crash

[red flower]

remove the not

[placid star]

but this checks that you dont have luggage card and that luggage card has already been drawn, then if you have no hand size game ends

[red flower]

ok then remove the not from around lug[1] and keep it for the other check

[placid star]

yeah i saw the error i think this should fix that problem

[solid grotto]

I'm trying to make a joker that makes wild cards immune to debuffs, so I'm looking at the extra credit mod as reference
But I have absolutely no idea how this joker functions

No calculate?

I feel like I'm missing something obvious

[unborn bay]

this means that the implementation for this is somewhere else

like a hook

something that can't really be done via a mere calculate function

since its something related to debuffs, it might be a hook related to Card.set_debuff that you're looking for

[red flower]

if you want something simpler, "can't be debuffed by blinds" can be done through calculate easily

[solid grotto]

How would I do that

[red flower]

my thing?

[solid grotto]

Yes

[placid star]

@red flower i finally got all my stuff working, so my change is now implemnted with big thanks to you!

[solid grotto]

I'm trying to cross reference different mods to see how they remove debuffs and all of them do it in a different way lol

And all of them are pretty confusing

[red flower]

if context.debuff_card and next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.debuff_card)) then
    return { prevent_debuff = true }
end

[solid grotto]

If I want to only remove debuffs from wild cards do I make it (SMODS.get_enhancements(context.debuff_card)["m_wild"])

I'm just looking at other stuff with the get_enhancements

[red flower]

and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.debuff_card, "m_wild")

[solid grotto]

It works

Dope

Thank you sm

[jagged zodiac]

does somebody know how to have a joker add joker slots??
looking at how the negative edition works hasn't helped me much, because the adding a joker slot doesn't seem to happen there

[manic rune]

where did this context come from

i disappeared for one day, surely i didnt miss anything

[placid star]

G.jokers.config.card_limit = G.jokers.config.card_limit + 1

[manic rune]

G.jokers:change_size(1)?

[jagged zodiac]

ahhh thanks

[red flower]

this is from blind calc

[manic rune]

a

i see

[jagged zodiac]

is there a list of all things like add_to_deck and remove_from_deck and calculate??

[red flower]

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

[jagged zodiac]

thanks ^>^

[jagged zodiac]

how do I in such a case make sure you can still actually buy it with full joker slots -_-
I know Cryptid has a similar joker which adds 4 joker slots, but the code there doesn't seem to help me with that either

and I couldn't find an event, or whatever those things are, which are triggered when a card is attempted to be bought
otherwise I would put the 'add joker slot' thing at that event

[red flower]

you need to hook G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space iirc

[jagged zodiac]

ah I'll look it up

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/ee062a6c4bf25747ea2e7d4d0b810ccdea100489/lib/overrides.lua#L1215-L1226

[jagged zodiac]

ah I think I figured it out

[jagged zodiac]

yeah, I looked there already
but the code for being able to buy is this

-- These allow jokers that add joker slots to be obtained even without room, like with Negative Jokers in vanilla
local gfcfbs = G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space
G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space = function(card)
    if
        (card.ability.name == "cry-Negative Joker" and card.ability.extra.slots >= 1)
        or (card.ability.name == "cry-soccer" and card.ability.extra.holygrail >= 1)
        or (card.ability.name == "cry-Tenebris" and card.ability.extra.slots >= 1)
    then
        return true
    end
    return gfcfbs(card)
end

in overwrites.lua
not jokers.lua

[rotund sable]

i linked to there

👀

[jagged zodiac]

oh x3

thank you then~ found it just before

[vast night]

Yippe its me again! Big and small question: How can i have two souls hover over a card (not specifically joker, i mean an ui object)? I think this would involve adding a new draw_step but I'm unsure
Edit: I would also like to know if its possible to adjust the speed of both hovering arts

[tall wharf]

i believe yes it would need to be draw step

[jagged zodiac]

hmm

[tall wharf]

you probably have to create a new children

and UI definition for it if you're doing UI shenanigans

[ruby moon]

Guys, I wanted to know if anyone here is interested in making a mod just to change the deck's skin to the Rain World theme, I can do the art, but trying to make the mod I saw that it's not my area
Here is an example of what the rest of the art will look like:

And sorry for the long text

[tall wharf]

@tranquil gull

[jagged zodiac]

cute ^>^

do you just want to change the art, nothing else about the game??

[feral cove]

SMODS.Back{
    name = "Scarlet Deck",
    key = "scarlet",
    config = { discards = 3, extra = { mult = 2 } },
    atlas = "scarlet",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.discards, self.config.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.discard and context.other_card and not context.other_card.debuff then
            self.config.extra.mult = (self.config.extra.mult or 0) + self.config.extra.mult
            return {
                extra = { message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'), colour = G.C.MULT},
            }
        end
    end
}

does anyone know what this crash is

[ruby moon]

Today's proposal is simple lol

[jagged zodiac]

well, to me it's not because I'm just making my first mod :v

and I'm getting stuck on the simplest thing

[placid star]

how can i make sure my custom G.GAME var is saved on quit out? it doesnt seem to be saved currently

[ruby moon]

But yeah, I was thinking about making a deck with vanilla characters first, then if it turns out well I can make another deck with downpour characters.

[jagged zodiac]

if I knew how to do it I would

maybe I'll know in a week and can help then, I assume it takes a while to make the art anyway

[jagged zodiac]

hmm, there's three vanilla characters and four suits.. and five downpour and four suits...

and one watcher :v

[ruby moon]

For the first deck, I was assuming about 13 days to make it.

[placid star]

so youre making a texture pack?

[ruby moon]

That's it

Unfortunately vanilla only has 3 😔

[jagged zodiac]

are you putting the watcher with the vanilla maybe??

spades: watcher
hearts: hunter
diamonds: monk
clubs: survivor

something like that??

[ruby moon]

Yeah, Because vanilla had the watcher as an arena character, he just didn't have his DLC skills.

[drowsy acorn]

anybody know why this doesnt do anything? ``` calculate = function (self, card, context)
if context.selling_self then
card.ability.extra.enabled = false
print'sold'
end

    if card.getting_sliced then
        print'bye'
    end
end,```

[ruby moon]

Read my mind

[placid star]

@ruby moon read into malverks documentation for how to make texture packs

[ruby moon]

No, where is that document? Is this on the "Modding" channel?

[jagged zodiac]

local gfcfbs = G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space
G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space = function(card)
   if
      (card.ability.name == "moderate_jonkler")
   then
      return true
   end
   return gfcfbs(card)
end

is there something obviously wrong with this???
when I just let it return true always, it does work to let you buy anything
but like this, it doesn't work??

I had this like too

    key = "moderate_jonkler", atlas = 'moderate_jonkler', name = 'moderate_jonkler',

I also tried with 'key' instead of 'name'
also with 'rarity'

[placid star]

its a seperate mod made to handle texture packs, there should be documentation in #1209506514763522108 and on github

[placid star]

eval card.ability.name in game to check

also why not just check for the card.config.center.name?

[ruby moon]

I'll take a look then, would it be like a mod to put and manage deck skins?

[jagged zodiac]

because I'm completely stumbeling into this and have no idea what I'm doing

[placid star]

basically, its made to help people with little coding experience and to make a good ui and ux

[placid star]

well check for what i gave you instead

[jagged zodiac]

wow it works like that!!

thank you ^>^

any idea why my thing didn't work??

[placid star]

ability.name doesnt exist unless you declare it i dont think

[ocean goblet]

hey. checking in again

[ruby moon]

Ok, Can I tag you if I need extra guidance?

[placid star]

sure

[ocean goblet]

trrying to check the atlas position of a joker's sprite which i change over time

[ruby moon]

Thanks =]

[ocean goblet]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if card.children.center.sprite_pos == {x = 0, y = 1} then
            print("plink")
        end
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and card.children.center.sprite_pos == {x = 0, y = 1} then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.4, func = function()
                    return{
                message = "blink",
                chips = card.ability.extra.mod1,
                card = card
            }
                end }))
        end
    end

so far ive tried this but it did not work

is there something i'm missing?

[placid star]

does sprite_pos check for atlas position or the actual position on the screen?

[ocean goblet]

lemme try printing that actually

good thinking

[rotund sable]

how do i make sure the joker i created at the end of the round doesn't scale in that round?

[ocean goblet]

okay so it DOES check the table

[placid star]

whats the code

[placid star]

so it checks for atlas pos?

[rotund sable]

if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and not context.blueprint then
    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.plus_mult
    SMODS.calculate_effect({message = '+2 Mult', color = G.C.MULT}, card)
end

this is the scaling part.

[placid star]

mhm

youll want a context.main_eval so it doesnt trigger multiple times

[ruby moon]

@placid star Just one question, to apply this mod there is no other way other than using steamodded and lovely, right?

[placid star]

unless you want to replace base game files directly with yours or create your own mod injector

so no

[ruby moon]

Ok, thanks 🫡

[ocean goblet]

i think i might have got it actually

[placid star]

alr sweet

[rotund sable]

still triggers. creating part is a liitle convoluted but basically i use SMODS.create_card to create max one card per round

[placid star]

yeah main_eval makes sure it only triggers once per round so its a general fix, as for the other you could put the card creation in an event

[rotund sable]

why didn't i think of events 🙏

ty

[near bay]

how do i check how many cards with a suit there are in deck

[placid star]

    local suits = {}
    for i,v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        table.insert(suits, v.base.suit)
    end
    return suits
end```
this is my poll suits func

[near bay]

it doesnt like the "JJOK"

[placid star]

like i said its my function, that's from my mod. jjok is the prefix so I stored it in my mods functions

in my mod is have jokers that retrigger other (not blueprint)

[near bay]

then what do i do

[placid star]

well it depends, are u going to make it a function or use it once

[near bay]

a function.

im making a joker add a random enhanced card with a random rank and the suit being the least amounts of cards with a suit.

[placid star]

well then outside of the joker do

function poll_suits()
--func code here

[pallid hemlock]

where are the decks stored within the gamedata?
i want to get the sprites for every deck but i dont want to just make a big list with all the atlases/pos combos for each deck

[primal terrace]

So I have this Joker that checks for the number of formed Pairs in a played hand

I coded it like this, which works fine for Vanilla, but I feel it's dubious if I for example. install Cryptid and play an Ultimate Pair

How can I code it so that it dynamically checks the number of formable pairs, instead of hard-coding the check?

[primal robin]

Wow, something new

<@&1133519078540185692>

[formal quest]

And it's gone 😎

[stiff quiver]

for some reason this is crashing, can someone help? ```lua
SMODS.Shader{
key = "filteredshader",
path = "filtered.fs"
}
SMODS.Edition{
shader = "filteredshader"
-- theres the rest of stuff like name, key etc but they are irrelevant i think
}

[primal terrace]

I feel like I missed something

[formal quest]

Begone spambots

[hallow forge]

everyone died

[primal terrace]

Is this what the afterlife is like?

[hallow forge]

manually

:get_id() gets a cards rank

[primal terrace]

Oh cool, so I get a list of all played cards, and check how many ranks have more than two?

[formal quest]

Pretty much yeah

[hallow forge]

note negative ids mean no rank

[formal quest]

Since you're counting any number of a kind as one pair, that's enough

[primal terrace]

Nice

I wonder why Cryptid didn't come up with something like this first, they love Pairs

[formal quest]

Vanilla definitely doesn't have enough love for two pair and full house

[drowsy acorn]

im trying to get my joker to do stuff when its destroyed, but doing it like this doesnt do anything and ive got no clue why, does somebody know whats going wrong here? ```SMODS.Joker {
key = 'kamikaze',
loc_txt = {
name = 'Kamikaze',
text = {
"When this Joker is destroyed, create a copy that gains x1.5 Mult (Currently x1 Mult)"
},
},

config = {extra = {Xmult = 1, Xmult_mod = 1.5, enabled = true}},
rarity = 2,
atlas = 'CosmicTomfoolery',
pos = {x=4,y=1},
cost = 6,
blueprint_compat = true,

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {
        vars = {}
    }
end,

calculate = function (self, card, context)
    if context.selling_self then
        card.ability.extra.enabled = false
        print'sold'
    end

    if card.getting_sliced then
        print'bye'
    end
end,

}```

[merry frost]

Are you able to get the config parameters from another mod using SMODS?

[formal quest]

How do I change base chips & mult when a hand is played?

[placid star]

[merry frost]

Nvm think I found it #💻・modding-dev message

[stiff quiver]

can someone help me with this

[placid star]

holy shit coding your own .fs file? thats a feat

[stiff quiver]

no, someone else im making the mod with did it

but they sent it to me and shader isnt shadering

[formal parrot]

Does your shader exist in the mod file

Wait

[formal parrot]

Aren’t you the person who always stuff doesn’t work for for some reason 😭

[stiff quiver]

yes

lmao

glad to be known for that

[formal parrot]

Damn

[red flower]

Cards don't call calculate when destroyed

in this case just use the remove_from_deck function

[formal parrot]

Tuff times

Check your mod folder maybe its a typo

[drowsy acorn]

my issue with that is that also happens when the card is debuffed which is not the intended functionality

[red flower]

there's an argument you can check for that, from_debuff

[stiff quiver]

already checked, changed the key three times, copied the entire file path and deleted what wasnt necessary, changed the shader key in the edition to "foil" to see if it set the foil shader (it did)

[formal quest]

How do I modify base chips & mult? This code doesn't do anything to chips and sets mult to 0, even though it works perfectly for the before scoring display.

[lament agate]

need some checking for my code

[stiff quiver]

this is the folders so it isnt that

[lament agate]

the card doesnt retrigger when scored, any ideas? (ignore the vol things)

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d409afd0211dc417e803bcb1311aaca691e557fe/src/blinds.lua#L542 ?

[formal parrot]

No that’s correct

[red flower]

i hate discord

[red flower]

@formal quest

[stiff quiver]

not the file name either

it just doesnt want to work

[formal parrot]

😭damn

[placid star]

@red flower okay so i get this error on saving and quitting, im assuming its because when i quit and reload G.GAME.luggaged_card doesnt get saved and is instead stored as "MANUAL_REPLACE", so my question is how would i save G.gAME.luggage_card

[red flower]

i think you need a cardarea but im not sure

[stiff quiver]

not the key either, so probably just my computer hating me

[placid star]

the card area only exists as a main_end node in the loc vars of the joker

[red flower]

i mean making a global one but if the card is in deck it doesn't work

no idea, never done something like that

[normal crest]

the key has to have the same name as the file i think, without the .fs

[primal terrace]

Works great!

[placid star]

ill try it without declaring lugagge_card first

[placid star]

hm no crash

so it must be something to do with that...

[stiff quiver]

i'll try

still nothing

[lament agate]

bumpity bump

[red flower]

repetitions have to be in context.repetition

[stiff quiver]

i dont think you can retrigger cards in context.joker_main

yeah

[red flower]

or retrigger_joker_check (i think?) for joker retriggers

[normal crest]

what does ur shader file look like

[lament agate]

oh oka

[stiff quiver]

the shader itself does work, the person who made it tested it and it was working for them

i also asked them if it needed variables and they said no

[normal crest]

okay

[formal quest]

Am I modifying it wrong somehow? This isn't changing it

[placid star]

honestly i think the solution is to save luggage_card on saving and reloading but idk how to do that

[red flower]

what's the context check

[formal quest]

if context.modify_hand then

[red flower]

that seems like it should work

[formal quest]

Here's the entire calculate function

[red flower]

oh i think i see why, what's the objective?

[drowsy acorn]

i tried doing this but clearly im doing something wrong here remove_from_deck = function (self, card, from_debuff) if from_debuff == false then print'destroyed' end end

[formal quest]

Add the base chips & mult of contained hands

[normal crest]

do if not from_debuff then

[red flower]

in the played hand?

[formal quest]

Yes

[drowsy acorn]

ill give it a shot

welp that worked

[red flower]

you dont need get poker hand info then
replace contained with context.poker_hands

[drowsy acorn]

thanks a bunch

[placid star]

for anyone in the future with an issue of variablse not "saving" on quit/save and reload, tables in G.GAME dont seem to be saved

[red flower]

incorrect?

[normal crest]

are you trying to save a card object

[red flower]

cyclic tables don't get saved, like cards

[small tartan]

Hi guys any guide to mod "Balatro" in the title screen?

[placid star]

yeah thats kinda what i assumed, sso i just saved the .playing_card id instead

[placid star]

what are you trying to do

[red flower]

https://github.com/InertSteak/Pokermon/blob/b7ec2d7bfe6a250827e6ef58dd623d6ebf35c3f9/lovely.toml#L208

[small tartan]

Wanted to change the game's name to El balatro, for fun

I have experience with Photoshop so if it's not a font-like thing i can do the graphic too

[small tartan]

Thanks ^^

[long sun]

hiya! does this code suffice if i don't want Zodiac cards to appear at all, if the option is disabled?

[fallow breach]

does anybody know an easy way to do this

[long sun]

oh also, is there a way to disallow the player from selecting a particular deck?

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this doesn't draw with editions? (excluding foil.)

draw = function(self, card, layer)
    if card.config.center.discovered then
        if (layer == 'card' or layer == 'both') and card.sprite_facing == 'front' then
            local scale_mod = 0.05 + 0.05 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
                0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL)) * math.pi * 14) *
                (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 3
            local rotate_mod = 0.1 * math.sin(1.219 * G.TIMERS.REAL) +
                0.07 * math.sin((G.TIMERS.REAL) * math.pi * 5) * (1 - (G.TIMERS.REAL - math.floor(G.TIMERS.REAL))) ^ 2

            local image = Sprite(0, 0, 71, 95, G.ASSET_ATLAS["willatro_WillatroOrgans"], {x = 1, y = 0})
            image.role.draw_major = card
            image:draw_shader('dissolve', 0, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod, nil,
                0.1 + 0.03 * math.sin(1.8 * G.TIMERS.REAL), nil, 0.6)
            image:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
        end
    end
end

[red flower]

i dont think consumabletypes have in_pool

[long sun]

mm, unfortunate

it means that modded Zodiacs would have to have the in_pool stuff

[formal quest]

Well that works pretty well but now I'm getting some weird behavior. The mult of the played hand gets added twice but not chips.

[red flower]

i think you need to use G.GAME.phanta_zodiac_rate (this key should be all lowercase)

[long sun]

not that it matters much anyway ^u^ they can't appear in the shop

rightright

where would i put that?

[red flower]

remove the update_hand_text line

[long sun]

if i'm using a config to disable them

[red flower]

maybe

[red flower]

you would probably need something in update that checks the config all the time

[long sun]

rightright ^^

[red flower]

unless the ui element you use in the config has a callback function

[long sun]

it doesn't have one

[formal quest]

It doesn't just appear to get added, it actually does. The update text line was unnecessary but it also doesn't fix the behavior by removing it. I probably need to update the if statement inside the loop to filter out the played hand

[red flower]

oh yeah

[formal quest]

How do I check for played and contained hands?

[red flower]

context.scoring_name is the played one

[wild escarp]

bump

[fallow breach]

i think i figured it out

this will log your last played hand after the first hand you scored with the joker

then each subsequent hand has the previous hand as a check to see if it returns xmult

ahaha i did it i'm so good

[red flower]

i dont recommend using global variables, specially not with generic names
you should use card.ability.extra.previous_hand

[fallow breach]

would that be effectively the same thing?

[red flower]

yes

[fallow breach]

cool cool

[midnight hornet]

@red flower im looking for a function that can be called in a mod that is able to play the current hand. if the current hand is ♠A, ♣A, ♦K, ♥Q, ♣Q, ♣9, ♠6 ♥5, I'd like to call a function to perfom the action of discard ♣9, ♠6 ♥5. I know which card I want to discard/play but I cannot find a function in smods to perform this action in game.

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/d409afd0211dc417e803bcb1311aaca691e557fe/src/blinds.lua#L20

[pure salmon]

how does the new additive probability work?

[midnight hornet]

it looks like these are just objects and not actions: play hand and discard

[formal quest]

It works now, thanks. I could make it seamless and make the display show the extra chips and mult between playing and scoring start, but I might make it like a reverse flint instead and show it with an animation before scoring. Can I do that by bringing back the update text line with some different arguments?

[red flower]

This is The Hook which discards specific cards in hand

I'm going to need the specific use case for this to understand this.

[red flower]

I think so but I'd need to test it to tell you exactly how

[midnight hornet]

Im trying to dev a simple bot and I want to discard cards and play hands. nothing to with the hook blind.

[red flower]

ok, then what I sent is what you need for discards, the function is in there

let me check to play a hand

[red flower]

G.FUNCS.play_cards_from_highlighted

[long sun]

oh ya @red flower does this look okay? the base rate is 0 anyway, but it's in case someone wants them to appear in the shop

i've made sure that the cache exists, btw

[red flower]

that's what i would do yeah

[long sun]

awesome ^u^

oh ya there's still Today & Tomorrow Deck

lemme see if the documentation has a way to disable decks

dfkjngjkdfkjgnd backs can have in_pool

very weird

me buying a deck in the shop

[formal quest]

Is there a list of vanilla sound IDs?

[placid star]

do playing cards have a unique id that NEVER changes even if other cards are destroyed

[wild escarp]

bump

[formal quest]

What's the id of the planet upgrade sound?

[sturdy compass]

I think it's tarot1

[summer furnace]

is there a way to make like an instant win? like if a condition is met it just wins the game

[long sun]

hmm, the game's saying dt is nil

oops wait i forgot to add self

[placid star]

playing_card seems to jump around alot, meaning i cant properly store a card unless i store the WHOLE card as a table

[primal robin]

return update_ref(self, dt)

[long sun]

ya aware ^^ the fix worked

[long sun]

_ _

[primal robin]

Also, in most cases, for hooks, unless you need arguments from it, use ...

Who knows which new arguments will appear in next balatro update

Better be ready

Wait, why you're using game update for setting game variables

YourMod.current_mod.reset_game_globals = function(run_start)
  -- set them here
end

Maybe it's not 100% covers yor needs, but you' better check it out

[fallow breach]

is there a way i could define this globally though (separate from the joker). so i could keep track of the previous hand before you get the joker?

[red flower]

G.GAME.modprefix_previous_hand

I recommend the modprefix to avoid conflicts

[fallow breach]

where would that be nested

[red flower]

you can just use it directly

[primal robin]

Prefix everything which stored in globals, including G.FUNCS and localization keys

[fallow breach]

ok!

[summer furnace]

?

[river apex]

Hello
I was making a joker that changes the hand size
I copied what is made with the vanilla remade:

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "juggler",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { h_size = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size } }
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size)
    end
}

But I have an internal counter that will change multiplicatively the hand size this so I wrote :

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "scarabHand",
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 4,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { h_size = 1 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.h_size * G.GAME.pharahos_scarabs } }
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(card.ability.extra.h_size * G.GAME.pharahos_scarabs)
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.hand:change_size(-card.ability.extra.h_size * G.GAME.pharahos_scarabs)
    end
}

The problem is that the initialisation of the hand size and the value of the variable are only made when the joker spawn
After that, any changes will not affect thoses fonction
Can I add them in a "if context then" to refresh theses values ?

[midnight hornet]

I know that https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus can show a log console in the game. is it possible to do it simply with just smod?

[red flower]

you can probably use context.drawing_cards to update hand size dynamically

[formal parrot]

Any idea how can i make face cards unable to be drawn from deck

[vast night]

Hey. Where is the display text joker name stored in its card? Im using center.key, but this dosen't return the name for modded jokers

[placid star]

is there anything wrong with this if?

[river apex]

Where can I found the args for this ?

[vast night]

dosen't seem since we have no contexyt

[placid star]

i mean syntax wise

[summer furnace]

is there somehow a way to make a joker that instantly wins the run?

[vast night]

yes

[vast night]

win_game()

[vast night]

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

[placid star]

well... whats wrong with it?

[vast night]

ooh i mean its correct

[river apex]

It is not documented here that is why I ask

[summer furnace]

oh and is it somehow possible to remove the endless mode? (its for a joke)

[vast night]

print out context when the calculate function happens

[vast night]

delete_run maybe?

[summer furnace]

with ()?

doesn't exist sadly

[red flower]

yeah it's not, context.amount is the amount of cards about to be drawn and you can return cards_to_draw to draw extra cards

you might need to use those, but mainly I was suggesting it because that context is called before cards are drawn to hand

[vast night]

/bump

[summer furnace]

so is there any other way to do that?

[vast night]

it does

uhm

[red flower]
