calculate = function(self, card, context)

then you can do stuff with context

since it exists

[pastel kernel]

How do I make my joker’s tooltip black?

[manic rune]

{C:black}?

[lament agate]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.main_eval and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
                func = function()
                    for _, original_card in ipairs(context.full_hand) do

It’s a white background

I want to make the text white while the whole text box is black

Trying to imitate Undertale text box in some way

many many thanks

sorry to bother 6ou

[royal ridge]

nah it was funny

[molten musk]

?

[lament agate]

unexpected symbol near if

the last one

[royal ridge]

um

code works fine on my end

[lament agate]

ghhhh

god damnut

here's the full code

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.main_eval and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then

                end
            }
        end
}

[royal ridge]

what's the purpose of the starting shop stuff

[lament agate]

pauses the game

by calling controller

[royal ridge]

remove that end right before it

that's ending the entire calculate

[lament agate]

before where

[royal ridge]

move it after the

that one ends it so move it later

to when you want the calculate to end

ok i edited the code i posted earlier to add hologram support and uhhh

the pausing thing

[spice wadi]

What's actually happening
What's being printed

[molten musk]

nothing

its print nothing

an empty table

[red flower]

you're returning in the loop as soon as it finds a seal

did you mean break instead of return?

[royal ridge]

break is bad there too

[red flower]

yeah

[royal ridge]

since presumably all seals are being collected to randomly select from them

[flat mist]

Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone who can help bring a new mod pack to life — I’ve come up with over 20 unique Joker ideas and 7 Spectral card concepts, all with cool and creative mechanics. While I don’t know how to code myself, the ideas are fully written and ready to go. If you’re into modding and want to collaborate on something fresh and fun, feel free to DM me or reply here. Let’s make something awesome together! These are some of the ideas.

[spice wadi]

It's actually pretty easy to learn if you want to go for it
One of the easiest games to mod imo

[flat mist]

Actually its not my field

Other wise I might do that

[modern kindle]

Its pretty unlikely for others here to jump on to do your mod instead of doing their own ill be honest, so its best to try and learn it yourself

[pale holly]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "classy",
        loc_txt= {
        name = 'Classy',
        text = { " {C:chips}#4#{} Chips, {C:mult}#1#{} Mult",
        "{C:attention}#2#{}"
        }
    },
    --atlas = 'Maidenregalia',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    pools = {["pseudoregamod"] = true},
    
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    
    config = { extra = { mult = 0, poker_hand = 'High Card', mult_gain = 5, chips = 0, additional = 5, encore = 0 } },
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, localize(card.ability.extra.poker_hand, 'poker_hands', card.ability.extra.mult_gain, card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.additional, card.ability.extra.encore ) } }
    end,```

Can someone help me understand why the 'nil' ? as far as i check in my code, the **#4#**  should normally aim for the chips but it says nil, any help appreciated

[faint yacht]

-# Started a new run with a fresh copy of it?

[pale holly]

I did, but actually it just shows even in the menu

I will retry just to see

[faint yacht]

...hang on...

The localize call is not closed off before the other variables after 'poker_hand' is specified for it.

Instead, the ) is at the end... should be localize(card.ability.extra.poker_hand, 'poker_hands') ?

[modern kindle]

oh i didnt get to say it btw but good schmorning chat

[pale holly]

wait i just noticed that actually

that explains it

[rotund sable]

#4#

wait nvm

i misscounted

[faint yacht]

Bit of a weird layout of config, but who am I to judge... 😅

[pale holly]

it's been my main layout, it sure does look a bit intense considering the numbers of abilities set in lmao

[pale holly]

also yeah that was the issue, thanks !

wait why 5

okay that one is a bit weird, it should be 0 too

oh wait nvm fault on myside

[daring heron]

Bump

[daring fern]

It's misc not Misc

[daring heron]

Oh lol

what if i just want to put the name here?

since this isnt showing up either

[tall wharf]

wait did you make sure your file is loaded

[daring heron]

how do i do that again :b

[rotund sable]

assert(SMODS.load_file("src/challenges.lua"))()

with the "src/challenges.lua" being the path

[daring heron]

do i just put that above the current code?

[rotund sable]

i do something like that

[daring heron]

and the path would just be this right?

[cedar pendant]

If anyone here is good at modding cards and doing sprites I have a proposition if you help me make like some cards and stuff for a mod i will pay you with steam games or nitro so DM me 💀

The mod itself is gonna be unbalanced chaos because I think that would be comedic

An example of a card

Im Jeong Dae (Player 100): If you have $100 gain +100 mult for each card played ||1 in 100 chance to be impaled with a metal pipe and die||

[rotund sable]

not in the file you want to load tho

[daring heron]

hm?

[rotund sable]

from this i gathered the file isn't loaded

so you put the line to load a file in a file that isn't loaded

this is how my main.lua looks like

[daring heron]

like this?

[umbral zodiac]

how do you change the loc txt of an object youre taking ownership of? i have a loc_txt entry in the take_ownership but it's not changed compared to base (i'd imagine since the original uses localization files instead of loc_txt)

[daring heron]

hm, i dont think so.. it still doesnt load it

[tall wharf]

where is the main mod file

[daring heron]

ArtBox.lua

yes i'm modifying artbox haha

[red flower]

you need to use a localization file too and use the same key

[umbral zodiac]

oh can you just define the same joker's loc txt in mine and it works

thanks

[daring heron]

hm..

i mean i can't see why it isnt loading

[rotund sable]

put it in your main mod file

[cedar pendant]

Can someone recommend me a tutorial to make modded cards

[daring heron]

along with the assert thing?

[umbral zodiac]

doesn't seem to be working for me

[daring heron]

well its loaded in now but i would prefer it to be in it's own file, does the folder name it's in matter? also it crashes whenever i click on it

[rotund sable]

the string part can be any path

idk if it's relative to the file it's in or the root of the mod

[daring heron]

wekk u feel like the load file doesnt work either way

should the "scr" be the mod prefix?

[rotund sable]

it's just the path to the files 😭

[daring heron]

oop

well.. it still doesnt load

[rotund sable]

is it still in the wrong file

[daring heron]

huh?

[pale holly]

hey so i need a little help again

    if card.ability.extra.current_round == card.ability.extra.total_rounds then
    G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips/2
    return {
    message = "Well rested !"
    }
    end
    end```

the whole thing is meant to divide by 2 the required chips of the blind, and while it works it doesn't properly show it and show still the initial score required, is there a way to fix it ?

[flat mist]

[pale holly]

this basically

[pastel torrent]

sound plays in loop?

    update = function(self, card, dt)
        timer = timer + (dt or 1/60)
        if timer >= 30 then
            timer = timer - 30
            if math.random(1, 25) == 1 then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({

                        play_sound("dark_Taunt")
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
    end,```

[rotund sable]

put that line in the main file

[umbral zodiac]

i believe you have to return true in the event

[daring heron]

amazing, it loads in now

still crashes though

whever i click on it

[pastel torrent]

i'll let you know

thanks for giving me a perhaps solution

[daring heron]

does anyone know how i can fix that?

[pastel torrent]

it worked!

ty!

[umbral zodiac]

🙏

[daring heron]

bump

[dark quartz]

i might be really stupid, but switching the pngs out is as easy as just changing the files and giving them the right names in the game assets right?

[daring heron]

does anyone know why this is crashing? and how do i fix it?

this is the code

[plucky zenith]

Is there a way, on joker calculation, to change the joker image? I tried changing self.atlas to another registered key, but that didn't work.

[faint yacht]

card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = 0, y = 0}) iirc?

It will change the image on the Joker, yeah.

[daring heron]

Could anyone help?

[umbral zodiac]

does anyone know what i did wrong in this take_ownership? the other stuff seems to work fine but the loc_txt isnt changing at all

[plucky zenith]

Thank you!

[vast bough]

does anybody know the best way to do ^mult and ^chips, is it natively supported by SMODS? was trying to do some shit with math.pow but there is most likely a more elegant solution

[umbral zodiac]

if youre doing emult / echips you should probably make your mod depend on talisman so you don't instantly hit naneinf, which in such case you can just use emult instead of something like xmult
it is not supported natively by smods though

sorry i confused words lmao

[vast bough]

oh, i saw emult in cryptid but i just aassumed it was a custom cryptid thing lol

i knew there was a more elegant solution thank u

[umbral zodiac]

nah that's a part of talisman, if you make your mod use talisman you can use emult/echips freely

[vast bough]

oh wait yeah you edited your reply haha, okay thank you

[umbral zodiac]

yea my bad i confused talisman and smods when typing lmao

[spice wadi]

The eternal and pinned thing should be in the same part as the ID

Ik you probably are but look at (or straight up copy) an example from vanilla remade that's similar enough to what you want to do

[daring heron]

thank you so much!

i didnt haha

[pure salmon]

how do i get the name of a joker?

like, the localised name

[granite nymph]

im trying to make this tarot dupliocate a random consumable

and the issue is that if you use it with no other consumables it crasehs

and i dont wanna make the require,emt 2 or above because that would break tarot packs

[lament agate]

@primal robin how do you start a new run

[primal robin]

I'm just emulating r press

Because it's the most other mods compatible approach

[lament agate]

mmm i see

since using delete and start run crashes the game

i have to figure out a way

[lament agate]

ill try that

heres mine

help would be appreciated too

[normal crest]

localize { type = "name_text", set = "Joker", key = key }

Let’s make something awesome together! These are some of the ideas.

I have tried learning lua but it's seems it is not for me

[normal crest]

This sounds like ChatGPT

[granite nymph]

you should try to learn to code yourself. smods has a wiki on most of the mechanics and if tyou ever need help then just ask here

[granite nymph]

also bumping again

[flat mist]

I have tried but there's mechanics are really complicated that I Wana apply

And tutorials are not easy enough

[flat mist]

Yes it is 😂

[granite nymph]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/main

this has the code for all the vanilla jokers

you can copy some of the mechanics from there

also were not gonna help you if you dont even have the effort to write a message asking for help

[flat mist]

Sorry for that I have write a message previously but nobody noticed it so I think maybe chatgpt could help

[granite nymph]

bumping

[pastel remnant]

Hello one and all, how does one do ^mult with talisman? (I think that’s the dependency needed for it)

[spice wadi]

You could probably look at the code for jokers that use that

[pastel remnant]

I was gonna look at the cryptid ones but I was told it often does things in weird ways

[spice wadi]

Again my guidance for you would be to learn how to make jokers
Start with really simple concepts
Learn from those
Build up your skills
There's a decent amount of guidance and people here will help you if you're trying

Asking for people to make things for you rarely is taken well, and while I understand the reasoning behind getting ChatGPT to write a message for you, it kinda worsens your case

[spice wadi]

Yeah but anything like ^mult is weird enough anyway haha

[flat mist]

Actually I was working with a coder at first. He made 2 jokers but then he tosted his laptop and now I am stuck with my remaining ideas just sitting around.

[normal crest]

Talisman allows you to return emult I believe, so it doesn't get much simpler

Tho idk if emult is ^mult

[pastel remnant]

Yeah I tried that

And

It removed the buttons from the menu

They just disappeared

[normal crest]

maybe you have an outdated version of talisman?

[spice wadi]

Still, write the message yourself and maybe include info about like
Are you willing to let people use your concepts in their mod instead with credit or are you asking them to make a mod under your name

[flat mist]

No I just wanted to play my ideas. It doesn't matter wether you use your name or mine

[pastel remnant]

Maybe idk I’ll try and download it again

[pastel remnant]

Can you tell me the gist of these ideas

[flat mist]

I have dm you

[pastel remnant]

Ok sure

[jagged zodiac]

I want to make a joker that levels up a hand when sold, but all I've found is how to make it level up when a hand is played
is there like a function I can call to level something up?? or how does that work??

    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, context)
        G.GAME.hands[Pair].level = G.GAME.hands[Pair].level + 1,
        return { }
        end,

maybe this actually

nope

[pastel remnant]

Look how cola triggers

[jagged zodiac]

ah

alright

[pastel remnant]

And then

[granite nymph]

bump

[pastel remnant]

If context.sold(or smth idk) do
Whatever the hand lvl up code is

[daring fern]

if context.selling_self then
    SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, "handname")
end

[jagged zodiac]

oh

I couldn't find that function in the hand level documentation of the API :v

thanks!!

yeah that works!!

[spice wadi]

What is the crash

[granite nymph]

tried to index feild other card a nil value if i rememver correctly

[jagged zodiac]

now just add a for loop I guess because I want it upgrade five random hands when sold (might get nerfed to four?? maybe specificially five distinct hands??)

[spice wadi]

Can you show the full crash

[spice wadi]

Probably yeah

To the first part

[spice wadi]

I just realised this logic doesn't make sense, the end bit
#G.consumeables.cards is a number and you're checking if it's a specific card

[granite nymph]

how would i check for a specific card

[spice wadi]

G.consumeables.cards[1] for the first card

Also maybe change everything to be an if [logic] then return [I guess true] end type thing

Might make it easier

[granite nymph]

okay but now its not wokring in booster packs

[spice wadi]

Not sure how to help beyond this point

I'm guessing it's a different area

[granite nymph]

my goal is to make sure if theres only one card that isnt he fool it will copy it

but if it is the fool it wont work

[small tartan]

Any mod i can reference to add suites?

[granite nymph]

vremade?

[small tartan]

Sorry i don't understand

[granite nymph]

VANILLAREMADE

capslock

[small tartan]

Ohh

Thanks ^^

[jagged zodiac]

yeah, that's something I know how to do, but all these events I've never worked with before :v

[small tartan]

This should be okay? Or in card_key must be a single letter?

[spice wadi]

im guessing for this its pretty simple
just loop 5 times, pick a random hand (not sure where all the hand types are stored), level it up with the function for that

[spice wadi]

i dont think it has to but it probably should be a single letter or only a few letters

[small tartan]

Oh okay, thanks

[spice wadi]

looking at the wiki and another mod, seems it can be whatever you want
from what i understand, the key is used when using things like card:is_suit and card_key is used when creating playing cards

[small tartan]

Oh okay, thanks so much i'm literally too green to balatro modding so finding things is still hard

I appreciate you all so much, because i know i can be a pain sometimes

[spice wadi]

you seem alright to me

main advice i could give to you is to look at the SMODS wiki, VanillaRemade and look for mods that do whatever youre trying to do at the time

the balatro mod wiki can be helpful for that last bit

[jagged zodiac]

mhmm, that's what I planned to do
actually gonna try to do it now

[spice wadi]

Good luck!

Remember to use pseudorandom for random stuff ‼️

[long sun]

hiya! i'm making a consumable type that, when used, adds a set of cards to your deck

how can i put the code for adding these cards into the consumable type itself, so the consumables themselves don't need to do that?

[granite nymph]

does anyone know why this sint working\

its supposed to copy a consumable as long as its not exclusively a fool

[long sun]

what's not working about it?

is it crashing the game?

mm, i can see two problems with can_use

first is that the key of The Fool is c_fool

and second is that you're assuming you can't have 2 Fools

[granite nymph]

it’s supposed to be the modded fool card

[long sun]

ah

[granite nymph]

it baidslaly does the perkeo affect

and my goal is to prevent it from working if it’s the only card

[long sun]

ahhh i see

[granite nymph]

but also work when its in a booster pack and theres only one card

[long sun]

_ _

[granite nymph]

currently no

but its not usable when there’s only one cars

[long sun]

ohh i see

you're checking if the card is unequal to the key, rather than the card's key being unequal to the key

try adding .config.center.key to the end

[granite nymph]

to the end of g consumable cards i’m assuming

[long sun]

yepyep

[honest birch]

question, not sure how advanced of a question this is but, which files exactly do i have to inject in order to add a new hand?

ive been losing my mind at this over the last 3 hours 😭, i swear i tried everything and nothing works

[long sun]

if you're using SMODS, you can use SMODS.PokerHand :D

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

[honest birch]

...i may just be stupid

[honest birch]

ive been messing around with a .toml file btw

thank god for smods 😭 🙏

[honest birch]

and thank YOU for pointing me in the right direction :D

[long sun]

aww np!

[pastel remnant]

so, I am trying to make a joker that scales for debuffed cards sold/destroyed (I will need to copy this over for sold cards too but that should be easy I think) the code attached is responsible for the scalling, however when I hang maned 2 debuffed cards it also scales once, anyone know why this is happening

[jagged zodiac]

yay I got it working
if you're interested, they're stored as strings it seems, so I wrote a little utility function for myself

get_random_hand = function()

    hand_names = {
        "High Card",
        "Pair",
        "Two Pair",
        "Three of a Kind",
        "Straight",
        "Flush",
        "Full House",
        "Four of a Kind",
        "Straight Flush",
    }

    if(SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible("Five of a Kind")) then
        hand_names[#hand_names + 1] = "Five of a Kind"
    end
    if(SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible("Flush House")) then
        hand_names[#hand_names + 1] = "Flush House"
    end
    if(SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible("Flush Five")) then
        hand_names[#hand_names + 1] = "Flush Five"
    end

    return hand_names[math.random(1,#hand_names)]
end

[honest birch]

also i just looked at the poker_hand.toml file in steammods and yeah, holy shit thats a lot of work 😭, i wouldve been dead (metaphorically) before i figured it out 🙏

[long sun]

it's soooo much work ;u;

[honest birch]

105 lines 🥲

and a ton of problem solving and balatro source code knowledge thats way beyond my level of patience

[umbral zodiac]

context.remove_playing_cards only runs once per removal, even if it's removing multiple cards. multiply the gain by #context.removed

ah wait nvm i see your problem

[pastel remnant]

wont that multiply it by the number of removed cards regardless of how many are debuffed, also I based it of Canio and it works in a similar way (tho it counts how many are debuffed... ok nvm I don't need to keep explaining lol

[umbral zodiac]

returning ends the function immedietely. it goes once for the first card, returns the message to upgrade, and stops there

[pastel remnant]

ah

[umbral zodiac]

simply use card_eval_status_text instead of returning a message

[pastel remnant]

so wait

replace the return with

card_eval_status_text

?

[umbral zodiac]

i mean not 1:1 but, use the function

[spice wadi]

This might not take modded hands into account though (skimming this)

[pastel remnant]

I am fully bish bashing my way through this I have no clue what that function does or how to call it

[honest birch]

take my suggestion with a mountain of salt because im absolutely unsure at all on how hanged man works internally or how card removals work but what if hanged man simply treats 2 cards removed as a single action instead of 2 seperate actions? (if that makes sense)

[jagged zodiac]

I don't add any hands with my mod
I guess it's incompatible with other mods then, but I won't worry about that until the mod works with otherwise vanilla

maybe there's an array already somewhere holding the poker hands and you can use that, I'm not sure

[umbral zodiac]

try this card_eval_status_text(card, "extra", nil, nil, nil, localize("k_upgrade_ex"))

[pastel remnant]

it works there's just no upgrade text

[pastel remnant]

it is in fact the return, the way the code works is by looking at both removed cards via the for loop

[spice wadi]

Yeah maybe look at the code for some of the functions to try and find where all the hand types are stored

[honest birch]

out of pure curiosity, what argument types are needed for card_eval_status_text? im looking through smods source code and im guessing this is a balatro source code thing and not an smods addition

[honest birch]

OHH aight thank you, i didnt notice the for loop because reasons

[umbral zodiac]

i cant lie i dont remember the middle 3
the ones i remember are
card to do the animation, type (usually just "extra"), idk, idk, idk, and the message to display

[red flower]

i dont remember exactly but i recommend using SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "message"}, card) instead

[pastel remnant]

stealing that

[honest birch]

yeah the three middle ones seem to be weird, in the smods source one of them is percentage sometimes but they dont seem that important, also one more technical thing, why put "card" as the first argument and not self?

i still dont really understand the difference between self, context, and card so im trying to get as much insight as possible

(before i go back to reading the repo again)

[red flower]

self in calculate is the prototype or center of the card so self == card.config.center

[umbral zodiac]

self = the center, not the instance of the card

as N said

card is the card itself, self is the generic

[pastel remnant]

it works!

[honest birch]

OHHH okay that makes a lot more sense now

[pastel remnant]

yes!

[honest birch]

nice!!

[pastel remnant]

ok goodbye I think I might buff it a little

but anyway thanks

[red flower]

you should switch out the return with return pseudorandom_element(hand_names, "seed") to take the seed into account

also i haven't read the whole convo so idk if you need something specific but to do list has a way to pick a random poker hand from all of them

[jagged zodiac]

ah of course, thank you

[jagged zodiac]

oh righttt I couldn't think of any joker that did that, but To Do list does I guess
I'll look how it does that

[red flower]

i also forgot to change the check in vanillaremade to use is_poker_hand_visible so I'll do that rq lol

[serene granite]

hiii, does anyone have an idea of how i can create a joker that will generate a random tag when meeting the right criteria? i cant find any good examples from other mods or the vanilla jokers. any advice?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/a2630a0a7873651ec8280a97ac8652988c2e3cc6/src/jokers/12Labrynth.lua#L344

[serene granite]

thank you for the example ! ill look through this

[red flower]

mostly showing the effect so you can ignore everything else

[modern kindle]

hi N

how is your illness

[red flower]

im a bit better thankfully, thank you

[modern kindle]

im glad to hear

=]

[rapid stag]

anyone got any good examples to figure out shaders from?

[jagged zodiac]

what does the string argument of pseudorandom() do??

[flat mist]

how to set hand size to one using a joker

[jagged zodiac]

probably see how juggler works??

G.hand:change_size(1) is my guess

[pastel remnant]

what is the context of a joker being sold?

[jagged zodiac]

remove_from_deck

[pastel remnant]

does that also count like cards?

[jagged zodiac]

sorry

no

selling_self

[pastel remnant]

not self

any joker

[jagged zodiac]

oh

[pastel remnant]

probably not self even

[jagged zodiac]

dunno :v

[pastel remnant]

ugh

[red flower]

context.selling_card

[flat mist]

g is not defined i might suck at it its my first joker so soory

[red flower]

you need to check if it's a joker

[red flower]

it's basically a secondary seed so the random results from your call dont affect other calls

[jagged zodiac]

ah, and what does it return?? because it seems like it always just returns whatever is needed, but there are no arguments to tell it the min or max

nor any scaling/modulo stuff to get it within specific bounds

[red flower]

dont put function calls in returns unless you need the value to be returned (in this case you dont), the G.hand line should go before the return

but the yellow G is just a warning, ignore it

[jagged zodiac]

OH

nevermind

I see now

[jagged zodiac]

a float between 0 and 1

[red flower]

yes, you can also do pseudorandom("seed", min, max)

[jagged zodiac]

so I don't need to define the meaning of that string anywhere?? just put in something that makes sense and it'll work

[pastel remnant]

I don't think I do in this case thankfully also how do I get info abt the card sold? like if its debuffed?

[jagged zodiac]

or rather, between 0 and G.GAME.probabilities.normal

[red flower]

yeah, usually the recommendation is key of the joker or the key of the joker + ante

[jagged zodiac]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1b4ea069ada01eb25fd41d79e6b951960879f87f/src/jokers.lua
look at Juggler

[pastel remnant]

juggler increases not sets

[red flower]

the card is context.card

[pastel remnant]

tho

[jagged zodiac]

yeah

[pastel remnant]

by setting hand size way down the game will then set it to 1 I think

[jagged zodiac]

I know

but it does that by setting it to its old value plus 1

[pastel remnant]

probably do that

like

-9999999999 or smth

[jagged zodiac]

    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

[pastel remnant]

so this should do what I want?

wait no

this

this

[red flower]

why context.context

also why do you need a whole function to check if a card is debuffed lol

[pastel remnant]

idk ppl I got help from before who are wroking on the same mod told me to use that, I have no clue why

but it should work

[red flower]

can you show me the function, im curious to see what it does

[pastel remnant]

I have 0 clue where it is lol

[red flower]

damn

[pastel remnant]

this basically has the full joker in it

[red flower]

assuming that function works you need to fix the context.context

[pastel remnant]

uh

oh yeah

[errant arrow]

im curious about creating mods, how would i start?

[daring fern]

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

[glossy sky]

So does anyone know what causes Joker's sell values to reset at the end of a round sometimes? This is the only time my code calls the set_cost function, but after an indeterminate number of rounds the sell value will just randomly reset.

[flat mist]

its not that hard i was worried about for no reason

i make my first joker in just 30 mon

*min

thanks to this community

[pastel remnant]

it works thanks @red flower

[red flower]

idk exactly what but some other things call set_cost, that's why it's not a good idea to modify cost that way
i would recommend hooking or patching set_cost

extra_value is fine to do exactly what vanilla does with it

[fallow breach]

my friend had an idea for a card where: "if played poker hand is a full house, destroy the cards that make up the pair," but i haven't an inkling on how that would be implemented

could someone show me where to start?

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[flat mist]

so i copied the command for displaying the next card , and it should display the card 2 times but is displaying only ones why?

its for misprint

[red flower]

use context.destroy_card to destroy the card, check if context.scoring_name == "Full House" and then you would need to use context.scoring_hand to check the card that repeats twice or context.poker_hands["Pair"] to check for the pairs that make that hand (but I think that would also include the three of a kind)

[fallow breach]

interesting thanks i'll try stuff out

[red flower]

patch/hook create_UIBox_buttons()

[thorn furnace]

Oki

[red flower]

that makes it twice more likely to appear because it's random, not appear twice

well not twice actually

but im bad at math so lets say twice

[flat mist]

so how to make it to show 2 next card

[red flower]

ohhh i get it now

change one of them to G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards-1]

you will also need to check if the deck size is bigger than 1

[serene granite]

i was looking through all the steamodded contexts, and i found a context for leaving the shop but i cant find the one for entering the shop, like the part that says "Cash Out"

does anyone know what that would be?

[daring fern]

context.starting_shop

[flat mist]

DOING THIS I was able to see 2nd card but i want to see next 5 card at once like a text in row (9D 7S 8D 4S ) like this

[fallow breach]

how do i check if a card with the same rank is repeated twice?

[hushed field]

The effect you want is basically to be able to see the top cards of the deck? Ignore everything else, but this is my joker that has that effect, and all of its effect is just handled in the loc_vars function https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/items/Jokers/bttf.lua

Do seals/enhancements only get access to a context if it's also attached to a main_scoring?

[flat mist]

what have i replace with question marks

[hushed field]

those are strings, they're placeholders for the collection. You can replace them with whatever you want

[jagged zodiac]

is there anything in the game that changes rank except strenght and ouija??

[pure salmon]

no i don't think so

[jagged zodiac]

alright

does anybody know how to change a card into a 7?? this is what I'm at now
assert(SMODS.change_base(scored_card, nil, SMODS.rank[7]))

[flat mist]

how to check wether you have bought a joker or not

[jagged zodiac]

wait.. it's called 'Ranks' not 'rank'

[jagged zodiac]

what do you mean exactly??

[pure salmon]

this is how ouija does it

[jagged zodiac]

mhmmm, but that's a random one

I can't figure out what I should put as third argument for a seven

[pure salmon]

it's likely just assert(SMODS.change_base(scored_card, nil, "7"))

[jagged zodiac]

documentation says this

    - Examples: `assert(SMODS.change_base(card, 'Hearts'))` converts a card into Hearts. `assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, 'Ace'))` converts a card into an Ace. `assert(SMODS.change_base(card, 'Hearts', 'Ace'))` converts a card into an Ace of Hearts.```

[jagged zodiac]

no with a "7" works!!

I already tried "Seven"

it doesn't

turned some eights into sevens

[pure salmon]

oh i guess the rank keys are "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K" and "A" then

[jagged zodiac]

no

[jagged zodiac]

the ace is "Ace"

[pure salmon]

what

[jagged zodiac]

so I suppose "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10", "Jack", "Queen", "King" and "Ace"

[pure salmon]

why is balatro like this

[jagged zodiac]

wait

"Ten" or "10"

I'll check

[pure salmon]

i don't do rank manip like ever and the strength function has a utility function iirc

[flat mist]

Means what the condition for checking that you are viewing at the joker in the collection or after purchasing it in you joker slot
Because I want to display different text in collection and after you by it

[jagged zodiac]

"10"

[jagged zodiac]

yeah, it has its own 'increase' function

[unborn bay]

those are for prefixes when you set it via set_base

[jagged zodiac]

oh, I see

I have no idea

[granite nymph]

duidnt mean to respond to that message

[unborn bay]

what SMODS.change_base is requesting is the key of the suit and rank

which is 2-10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace

[pure salmon]

man fuck ranks

[unborn bay]

why would you spell out numbers as words anyway

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[faint leaf]

juuuuuuuuuust wondering..... is it possible for every blind for a joker to change artworks?

[red flower]

i will pr smods so it takes "seven" as a valid key

[unborn bay]

im sevening it

[pure salmon]

def possible, Cardsauce's Bootleg Joker does this

[pure salmon]

thank you n' joyousspring

[faint leaf]

noted...

thank you

[red flower]

you would use card.children.center:set_sprite_pos (if they're all in the same sheet)

[pure salmon]

i haven't looked much into it tbh

oh fr you can do that?

[flat mist]

Means what the condition for checking that you are viewing at the joker in the collection or after purchasing it in you joker slot
Because I want to display different text in collection and after you by it

[red flower]

yeah

[granite nymph]

doesn work

[long sun]

aww

there's something else then

[red flower]

for that you need to use loc_vars and return a key

[flat mist]

Explain a little

[red flower]

no

jk #💻・modding-dev message

i dont think im good enough at writing to make a tutorial but i might have to do a FAQ for commonly asked questions

sadly vanillaremade doesn't do everything

[granite nymph]

im trying to make it usable as long as theres at least one card other than the soul

[thorn furnace]

I think I'm forgetting something obvious
Don't you just put your toml files in a lovely folder if you want to patch something

[faint leaf]

ooh alright thank you

[red flower]

yeah

[thorn furnace]

weird
the patch just doesn't seem to be doing anything then

[granite nymph]

currently it works with two cards but if its in a booster and theres a single card in the consumables it wont work

[red flower]

maybe the pattern is wrong?

[granite nymph]

sorry for asking here a lot btw

[thorn furnace]

i clicked extract on balatro so it shouldn't be wrong i dont think

doing something like
return { dollars = 77 }
in a calculate function should be enough to give 77 dollars, right??

[pure salmon]

yeah

[jagged zodiac]

hmm

[red flower]

not a == b is (usually) wrong, it should be a ~= b or not (a == b)

[jagged zodiac]

what does ~= mean??

[red flower]

pattern needs to be the whole line

[red flower]

not equal

[thorn furnace]

oh
i figured it probably wouldn't work because it's a really long line

[red flower]

you can also use regex and add a .* at the end maybe but yeah it should work

[thorn furnace]

that seemed to work

thanks

[granite nymph]

when i use a ~= b it lets the card be played even if its the only card

the goal is to not let it be used when its the only carsd

-- TarotMonopoly
SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'TarotMonopoly',
    path = 'TarotMonopolyVoucher.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}
SMODS.Voucher {
    key = 'TarotMonopoly',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Tarot Monopoly',
        text = {
            "{C:tarot}Tarot{} cards appear",
            "{C:attention}#1#X{} more frequently",
            "in the shop",
        }
    },
    atlas = 'TarotMonopoly',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { rate = 24/4, display = 6 } },
    unlocked = false,
    requires = { "v_tarot_tycoon" },
    pools = { ["T3V"] = true },

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.display } }
    end,

    redeem = function(self, card)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4 * card.ability.extra.rate
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,
}

i tried doing the math and i need 24/28(i think) but idk if putting the rate to 12 will work, vremade has 4x rate on 8 which makes sense cause to get 32 weight its 4*8, im not very smart in math so i dont know

[granite nymph]

ill check if it works in booster packs

thank you

[queen vector]

i don't know what i am doing here

[red flower]

if context.before and context.scoring_name == "Full House" then -- you can change before to the timing you want, check the docs
  -- your code here
end

[queen vector]

:0 Thx!

[thorn furnace]

what I'm gathering is that setting colour doesn't actually do anything
leftmost button is supposed to be green and rightmost button is supposed to be gold

[fallow breach]

bump

[red flower]

func = 'can_discard' changes the color

[thorn furnace]

oh
so it'll go away when I manually change that

what's the point of adding colour then >.>

[red flower]

dunno

[thorn furnace]

I am so sad I was going to add another mechanic but i forgot

now i gotta remember what i was gonna add

[frigid cargo]

[red flower]

i wonder how that would look with this

[thorn furnace]

probably extremely bad

[granite nymph]

anyone know why my game is crashing when i clikc run info?

[red flower]

can i see the screen with the new smods version, is it the same error? also post the entire log

[ocean goblet]

how do you go about getting like, the floor value for money?

i wanna make a card spend money only if you have enough but also work if you have jokers that let you go into debt

[granite nymph]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0614a

this is the newest one rifght

[fallow breach]

so for a card that's supposed to remove the pair from a full house when it's played, i'm thinking something like this

it triggers when you play a full house but it destroys every card played and in your hand

[red flower]

did you try restarting the run

[granite nymph]

i started a new run with like three different decks

[red flower]

no idea then it might be a mod doing it

[granite nymph]

it was talisman???????

so talisman is just broken for now

[next timber]

ughhhhhhh main_start doesnt show in edition tooltips

[ocean goblet]

actually more directly

how do i check if money is above or below a specific value?

[modern kindle]

just check if G.GAME.dollars is above or below whatever value

[vast night]

hi. just rq: how do i check if talisman is enabled?
(ps: also why does it not crash for me and work completely fine without talisman and to_number, but for my friends it crashes?)

[ocean goblet]

gotcha, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be updating each time i run the function in this

it prints the starting value each time

[vast night]

what are you trying to do?

[vast night]

and what is the error exactly?

[ocean goblet]

no actual error, it just isn't updating G.GAME.dollars each time

so say i start with 14 and try to enhance 4 cards (which should cost 20)
instead of only enhancing the first two, because the money would run out,
it enhances all 4 and sends my money into the negatives

[daring fern]

if Talisman

[ocean goblet]

oh cool ranma1/2

i need to finish that someday

[queen vector]

y, im making a mod full focused on Ranma

[vast night]

thx

[thorn furnace]

This is getting increasingly separated from being QoL by the minute

[vast night]

ty

Also: Does anyone know how i can modify a Card UI Object to show a custom text? This is my center generator:
Edit: I've tried making that with localization but I'm unsure what I did wrong

local function fate_card_center(fate)
    -- copies center of triboulet
    local ret = {}
    for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS['j_triboulet']) do
        ret[k] = v
    end

    -- sets internal shit
    -- ret.set = 'Fates'
    ret.name = fate.name
    ret.key = 'f_' .. fate.id

    -- gets rarity and fallback sprite x
    local rarity = 'Regular'
    local fallback_x = 0
    if fate.weight >= 3 and fate.weight < 6 then
        rarity = 'Epic'
        fallback_x = 1
    elseif fate.weight >= 1 and fate.weight < 3 then
        rarity = 'Mythic'
        fallback_x = 2
    elseif fate.weight >= 0 and fate.weight < 1 then
        rarity = 'Uber'
        fallback_x = 3
    end

    ret.rarity = rarity

    -- sets sprite
    ret.atlas = 'fates_Fates'

    if fate.x then
        fate.x = fate.x * 2
    end

    ret.pos = { x = fate.x or fallback_x, y = fate.y or 0 }
    ret.soul_pos = { x = (fate.x or 3) + 1, y = ret.pos.y }

    -- removes config
    ret.config = {}

    -- return card center
    return ret
end

[modern kindle]

in case it gets lost in the sea of message requests i shot you a dm so i wasnt possibly openly stupid to try and assist

[ocean goblet]

thank youuuu

[next timber]

dont suppose anyone has any way of fixing the dynamic text not being shown..

[vast night]

what's the problem

[next timber]

in the collection, the Slime edition shows the randomly changing Xmult

but when its applied to a joker it doesnt

[vast night]

dno idea. sry

[red flower]

works for me

how are you doing it

i think the docs might be outdated because main_start just works

[hardy viper]

while true do end
guys will this code work i made it using chatgpt

[vast night]

While I'm at it: How can i close the config window and reopen it to update the ui when i press the paste button?

function G.FUNCS.paste_secret()
    local clipboard = get_clipboard()
    FATES.config.ws.secret = clipboard
    if SMODS and SMODS.can_load then
        SMODS.save_mod_config(SMODS.Mods['fates'])
    end
end

-# also sorry for asking so much

[red flower]

yes

[modern kindle]

function love.load()
    N = loved♥
end

smiley face

[red flower]

unicode error

[modern kindle]

im going to explode

[vast night]

function love.load()
  G.Players.N.status = 'Beloved'
end

[modern kindle]

no heart

[vast night]

:(

[modern kindle]

thats what im sayin!

N needs hearts

N is awesome

[red flower]

im going to explode

[modern kindle]

hey im the one who said that

you arent me silly

[digital niche]

anyone know a good tutorial for coding in lua in general? (not a balatro based question its just im not sure where to ask)

[vast night]

imo tutorials are overrated. you learn the most by doing. find a small project. ask around. find answers. get better <3

[modern kindle]

steal someone elses code from wherever, break it apart, learn

thats how i do it anyway

[short girder]

Is there an unlock type for amount of cards held in hand!!!

[digital niche]

yeaah its just ive been coding mods for a good amount of time but im not sure where to start to make the game itself yk? there is a lot of thing i dont have any idea how to start making

[short girder]

If no then do I necessarily have to put something in my arguments or would just putting if #G.hand.cards >= x make it work

[midnight hornet]

hi, is there. a collection of sentence that the game joker always tell you? I mean the ones when you loose, or a list of all his dialogs.

[rotund sable]

found this in the localization files

open up balatro in something like 7zip and go localization>en_us.lua>line 3903

that's where it starts

[vast night]

bumping this desperately

[rotund sable]

then the tutorial is from lines 4012 to 4196

[faint leaf]

okay, im having a little trouble with this lmao

lets say i want to do this for the ancient joker (Each played card with [suit] gives X1.5 Mult when scored,
suit changes at end of round)

how would i change the joker's sprite so that it shows which suit it is in the image (assuming i have a image sheet like that)

cause right now either whenever i hover on the joker, the sprite disappears or crashes

[jagged zodiac]

how do I create a fool specifically??
I thought this
SMODS.add_card({ key = "fool" })
but that doesn't work
"Fool" doesn't either

[red flower]

oh ok, thats more complicated look at how the Aura mod does it with Castle

[modern kindle]

key would be c_fool iirc

[jagged zodiac]

oh..

[faint leaf]

i take on way too ambitious ideas lmao

[jagged zodiac]

alrighty that worked, thanks

[modern kindle]

thatll be 37 dollars and a mcflurry

[red flower]

my problem is that i try to interact with vanilla stuff the least possible amount in my mod so any questions about editing vanilla stuff (specially texture packs) is usually out of my wheelhouse lol

[granite nymph]

localization isnt localizing

[short girder]

Bumping this fella!!!

[rotund sable]

did anyone make an automation script to merge images into atlases or everyone just "suffers" with them

[granite nymph]

do you mean like

spritesheets?

[rotund sable]

could name it like that

[granite nymph]

personally i makwe my jokers striafght on the spritesheet

i dont mkae an individual joker amd combine it onto one spritesheet

[red flower]

i use this https://www.finalparsec.com/tools/sprite_sheet_maker

[next timber]

i put each joker as a seperate frame in an animation and just export it as a spritesheet

[long sun]

guess who's back >:3

[primal robin]

[long sun]

looking to work on implementing these again

[faint leaf]

aw damn lol

i think im just gonna make this 1 joker… 4 seperate jokers.. it would be easier for me and it isnt like a crucial thing that it NEEDS to be 1 joker

[long sun]

these packs have a few cards each, and they tell you what's in them

[next timber]

oop sorry i was making food lol, here

[long sun]

i'll be implementing them as a consumable type that adds them to your deck when used

i'd like to have some code that handles this within the consumable type itself, or something that applies to all of them

however, SMODS.ConsumableType doesn't allow for this

would having something that adds this code to each of them work?

is there a better way of doing what i want to do?

[red flower]

no idea, honestly
i copied misprint's code and it worked in the info_queue just fine

are you using loc_txt or a loc file?

[next timber]

a loc file

[red flower]

no idea then sorry

[hexed stump]

Hmm, does calculate not work on stickers on playing cards?

[next timber]

strange, it works on the info queue for the consumable that applies it, but not the joker it's applied to

[granite nymph]

the tarots in my localization file dont work

[red flower]

oh oops i didnt check for that lol

yeah it might not work for me either

[hexed stump]

Wait I bet it was using individual nvm let me see

[granite nymph]

does anyone know whats wrong with my localization files

specifically the tarots

[long sun]

OH!! oh my god this actually works what

did i just code something complicated on my own :OOO whatttt

🥺 🎉

[primal robin]

if it's not Ui then it shouldn't be that hard

[long sun]

oh what! are stickers not allowed

okay workaround

[sonic cedar]

if i were to put this in my joker's code, then this would make the variable's selection be itself right?
local chosen_joker = card

[red flower]

yeah

[sonic cedar]

yes... good...

[ruby moon]

Can someone teach me on dm How do I make a mod so I can change the skin of the playing cards? In total there will only be 4 sprite sheets, 2 HC and 2 LC, It could be through Malverk or an independent mod, I just need guidance on the codes I need to type ✊😔

[sonic cedar]

semi-related question, i can see that copy_card uses strip_edition, but unless i missed it i'm not seeing anything for ADDING an edition. is there a param that does that or is it something id have to do separately with like set_edition?

[red flower]

the last thing

[sonic cedar]

id cry if i didnt actually understand how to do that

[long sun]

you know how Marble Joker puts its Stone cards in the middle of the screen for a bit, before adding them to the deck?

is there a way i can do that using the SMODS API?

[queen vector]

i am doing it well?

[long sun]

you missed a comma after pos { ... }

and i'm gonna presume you missed an end after the if statement's end

[red flower]

no, but you can look at how vanillaremade does it, i simplified it a bit

[queen vector]

yeah, also im figuring how to do it so all the cards in the played hand gets the same suit as the higher card

[long sun]

could you shoot over a link?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1b4ea069ada01eb25fd41d79e6b951960879f87f/src/jokers.lua#L502

[long sun]

cheers :D

uhmmmmmmm

[sonic cedar]

you emplaced it in G.play

[long sun]

ough true

[red flower]

no thats correct

[long sun]

ough true

[red flower]

return doesnt work in a consumable

[sonic cedar]

oh this is a consumable i see

mb 😭

[long sun]

OH gotchaaa

lemme try that now

still stuck -u- i don't know if i can do this outside of a round

[which, i did that]

[red flower]

can i see the code again

[long sun]

maybe it's a timing issue

i'll add a delay

[red flower]

hmm yeah no idea

[long sun]

OH i think i see what's happening??

the consumable is being put into the deck

[red flower]

oh yeah a used consumable goes into g.play too

[long sun]

dfgjnjkgndfj sobbbbb

is there a way to dissolve the consumable before it adds everything?

but not destroy it?

i.e. remove it from G.play

[red flower]

ill give you another idea: add nil, stone_card to draw_card

[long sun]

whereabouts?

[rotund sable]

what if you use SMODS.add_card instead of SMODS.create_card

[red flower]

as the last 2 arguments

[long sun]

gotchagotcha

[red flower]

that wouldnt change anything

[sonic cedar]

unrelated consumable question:
does anyone know if consumables share the same rates as their packs?
e.g "do both planet cards and planet packs use G.GAME.planet_rate?"

[red flower]

i dont think so

[long sun]

okay better! but the stone card wasn't added to the deck preview correctly, and the limit wasn't updated

[rotund sable]

idk i had a similar problem and i fixed it somehow, one of the steps was switching to add_card
this is the code i ended up with

local card_1 = SMODS.add_card  { set = "Base", edition="e_polychrome", enhancement = "m_steel", seal = "Red", front = "S_J", area = G.deck }
local card_2 = SMODS.add_card  { set = "Base", edition="e_polychrome", enhancement = "m_steel", seal = "Red", front = "S_J", area = G.deck }
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        card_1:start_materialize()
        G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(card_1)

        card_2:start_materialize()
        G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(card_2)
        
        G.hand:sort()
        return true
    end
}))

i think add_card was for updating the number under the deck

uhm

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[long sun]

NO WAYYYYYY

/kidding

[red flower]

yeah i think add_card does solve that

[sonic cedar]

for FREE?

[long sun]

will try

[sonic cedar]

cause this is for cards right
so where the heck do they do the rate stuff for boosters?
(this is game.lua)

[long sun]

ooh!! so the effect that adding a delay had was me getting to see the pack moving to make way for the card

but now the card is drawn face down

[red flower]

i think its because it's added facedown to G.discard with add_card

try create_card with this

G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
stone_card.playing_card = G.playing_card
table.insert(G.playing_cards, stone_card)

[long sun]

alrighty

YESSSSSSS THIS WORKS PERFECTLY 🥺

TYTYTYTY

[normal crest]

I think boosters just use the weight value they have

don't ask me where in the code it is done tho

[granite nymph]

des anyone know why my localization doesny work

[normal crest]

ConsumableTypes don't add your mod prefix to the key by default

[granite nymph]

yip is my mod prefgix

[red flower]

ConsumableTypes don't add your mod prefix to the key by default

[granite nymph]

yip is my prefix

[red flower]

you need to take out the prefix

[granite nymph]

it ook it oyut and i still borkes

[hard flume]

How would I go about making a sticker render a card differently? Is that possible

[hard flume]

Take it out in ONLY the consumable type. Keep it for the consumables themselves

[red flower]

can i see the code

[modern kindle]

Im sorry but seeing the same messages typed twice in a row back and forth made me freaking lose it
I chortled

[red flower]

i mean i copied it for comedic effect so thanks

[modern kindle]

Youre a silly fella

[red flower]

can you send the whole file

[long sun]

WHAT DID I DOOOOO

[granite nymph]

do you want my tarot filers

[granite nymph]

WHAT DID YOU DO 😭

[long sun]

i think this is as a result of me not knowing very much about what these specific functions i'm working with do

have a gander ^u^

[granite nymph]

what is that theme

[sonic cedar]

(sorry i wasnt home)
so to change the appearance rate of certain packs, id have to patch? or take ownership?

[long sun]

ah, this one is called Acid Purple

[granite nymph]

link :?

[red flower]

yes pls

[long sun]

it comes with Visual Studio Code iirc

[red flower]

no idea, are you sure the modprefix is correct?

[hard flume]

Bump

[long sun]

OHHHHHHH IT GOT WORSE

[granite nymph]

100% sure

i know im confused too 😭 😭

mods

[sturdy compass]

<@&1133519078540185692> get him

[granite nymph]

throw this guy into the stratosphere

[red flower]

cardsleeve is trying very hard to get the card

[granite nymph]

thank you fort your isuness

[exotic hedge]

Don’t take this one from me 🙏

[sturdy compass]

It really wants the deck but also the card 😭

Like damn bro pick one

[queen vector]

i THINK i almost got this, i only need to turn every scored card once i do a Full Hosue, any tip?

[sonic cedar]

remembered by_kind existed
will this work or no?

[graceful vapor]

I'm going to make a mod but idk how to create a joker function in the first place

I'll just sample everything from other mods

lol

[formal quest]

How can I display the contents of a table of strings?

[hasty mist]

why isnt this hook working? i'm trying to track the amount of money spent during a run

[unborn bay]

the mod function is local in the function

you cannot override local things

[hasty mist]

what should i do then

that's in the original function and im not sure what to do instead

i dont really know what it is

[crisp coral]

if mod < 0 then dollars_spent = dollars_spent - mod end
return dollarsspent(mod, instant)

[formal quest]

How do I create a Black Hole? Finding vanilla keys is hard.

[rotund sable]

c_black_hole id guess

[red flower]

theyre all in game.lua

or the localization files

[queen vector]

how do i do to change multiples cards of a hand at once?

[red flower]

loop through context.scoring_hand

[queen vector]

i'll try, thanks

[sturdy compass]

You should also get the VSC Lua Extension

[formal quest]

Storing a list of hand names, and want the card description to show them

[red flower]

you need to loop through each string and concatenate them or something like that

[long sun]

reposting this — why is this happening if the pack tries to spawn multiple cards?

[formal quest]

Found the key, but it still doesn't spawn. Is there another issue with this code? I copied it from vanilla remade cartomancer.

[red flower]

i dont see anything wrong there but it's weird that the context check is inside another check so maybe the problem is in the first if statement

unless the message does appear

[formal quest]

Oh, I left some checks that weren't supposed to be there

[granite nymph]

so when the card scored it adds 10 to the chips but it doesnt score the chips (also the sound doesnt work

[ocean goblet]

holy shit lum catsareliquid??

[long sun]

this doesn't seem to work either

[red flower]

shot in the dark because i have no idea
maybe for i = #all_cards, 1, -1 works?

[long sun]

Maybe??

[formal quest]

Where do I find my localization files?

[red flower]

unzip the balatro.exe

[sour garden]

i'm trying to have a joker index the lowest rank in the deck, but the game crashes in the elseif firstcard then check with attempt to index field extra (a nil value)
i have card.ability.extra.currentcard in loc_vars

[long sun]

well, that fixed the Sleeve issue

but that's about it

[granite nymph]

why isnt it adidng the chips

[red flower]

you have _, card in the loop which is overriding the card argument

[sour garden]

ah okie

[red flower]

what other issue was there

[long sun]

the last added card sits in the middle of the screen, and the game is softlocked

[red flower]

remove the cardarea check

[unborn bay]

context.before does not specify a card area

FUCK

[red flower]

:3

updated docs when

[red flower]

oh i think this is an event order thing, try adding that event at the bottom inside the bigger event at the top

[granite nymph]

i needed context card area becuase now it checks the entire deck

[long sun]

which? the second or the third?

[unborn bay]

????

it doesn't

[long sun]

rightright

[lunar finch]

I wanna make a mod how do i

[unborn bay]

wait is this for an enhancement

just check for the card's card area then

like the card itself

[vast bough]

modding starter guide #1349064230825103441

[unborn bay]

card.area == G.play

[granite nymph]

it does though

it goes through the deck and scores the cards in the deck

even in discard

[long sun]

didn't do anything

[unborn bay]

well yes because it runs for every card

context cardarea isnt gonna do anything

because its not specified

the only times it is specified is during context.individual

[long sun]

code is currently

[granite nymph]

it goes up to like 200 chips cause it checks every card in the deck and it just goes right back down to normal amount (MINUS BONUS CHIPS) after

[red flower]

i think they still need to be in an event

[long sun]

aren't they already?

or did i misread

[granite nymph]

okay so

[red flower]

you removed the event around them, they need to still be in an event inside that event

sorry events are complicated lol

[granite nymph]

it applies the estxtra chips (including the ones inside of the deck and the discarded one) and when the actual card scores it just resets

[long sun]

oh i see

like so?

[red flower]

sorry did you try what haya sent or

[graceful vapor]

Is this a good start or is this very wrong

[pale rampart]

does anyone know or know where to find how to add how many times you played a certain rank card? (this code is pretty dumb)

[red flower]

if that doesn't work i have no idea lol

[graceful vapor]

Is this a good start or is this wrong

[red flower]

i dont think there's a variable for that? i might be wrong
you need to keep track of that yourself

[pale rampart]

ok 👍

[long sun]

nothing changed ;u;

[red flower]

you dont need to post it twice 😭
you have an extra } in loc_vars

other than that it looks fine

[graceful vapor]

I don't see any extras

Or is it the only }
I'm not good at lua I have no experience

[graceful vapor]

I'd rather learn java lol

[granite nymph]

hkl.ESDC SDfjbnmhrsBFGhjkv

[red flower]

that } shouldn't be there no, it's not closing any {

i wanna try creating a voucher that changes the reroll for retcon from $10 to $5 but i know its in a function, how can i change that function from my mod?

i love black screen

make sure you focus into the window

man this show is so entertaining, 10/10

Do I get rid of it or add an opener?

[granite nymph]

when i focus OUT of teh window it starts recording

get rid of it unless you need it

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = G.GAME.tarot_rate * card.ability.extra.rate
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,
}

does the math seem right for the rate?

[red flower]

you probably need to patch/hook G.FUNCS.reroll_boss_button, G.FUNCS.reroll_boss and create_UIBox_blind_select to change the 10s to 5s

[frigid cargo]

dang, idk how to do that but ill try

[granite nymph]

i couldn’t get the sfreenrecording to work so

there you go

[graceful vapor]

If I want to make the Xmult change from a variable do I add a variable like

    loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card, xmul)
        xmul = 1
    end,

-# gackt we can't have 2 things with the same name

and then put the variable in here?

[red flower]

what's the ultimate goal?

[granite nymph]

it’s just supposed add chips to the card, apply those chips, and ghen nothing else

but as you can see e

it’s doing all of that

[graceful vapor]

To make he joker gain +1 xmult every hand played and -1 xmult every discard used

[red flower]

well, i have good news

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1b4ea069ada01eb25fd41d79e6b951960879f87f/src/jokers.lua#L1502

[graceful vapor]

bruh

I though I made new cool thingledy

[red flower]

this is the code for green joker

from the main game

it does what you want but with mult instead of xmult

[graceful vapor]

Oh ok

lol

I'll just study that joker then ._.

[granite nymph]

i cant even begin to debug this

[red flower]

i can help if you reply to my earlier question

[frigid cargo]

how can i change the amount a booster pack can give?

[graceful vapor]

I'll just make it only go up lol
How hard could it be for a noob? 🫠

[red flower]

one of yours or a vanilla one

[frigid cargo]

both

[red flower]

so dynamically?

[frigid cargo]

sure i think

[red flower]

if it's for a voucher or something you probably need some patches

[frigid cargo]

ah

i still have yet to learn what that is, thanks for the info tho

[red flower]

sadly a lot of vanilla things are not made to be customizable lol

[frigid cargo]

dang, unfortunate

[granite nymph]

about doing what haya asked?

[red flower]

yes

[graceful vapor]

What's the context for hand played?

[red flower]

there are many, green joker uses context.before

[granite nymph]

im not 100% sure howe to do that to be honest

[red flower]

add card.area == G.play instead of the check you had before

[graceful vapor]

This too hard lol

[granite nymph]

my obs wasnt working

[graceful vapor]

It's perfect ✨

Or is it?

[granite nymph]

okay so the issue is that the chips are applying and everything but right at the end it resets to the normal amount of chips

[red flower]

wdym, like the message?

because the message looks wrong

[granite nymph]

no

[graceful vapor]

What's this

[granite nymph]

it will have the extra amount of chips on the right

and then when the card scores the chips reset back to the regular amount before all the extra chips

[red flower]

did you define an atlas

[graceful vapor]

No lol

Do I need to put the path in there

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

right of what

[granite nymph]

like

the blue box

[red flower]

that's the left

[graceful vapor]

Where do I put the path

[granite nymph]

oh

:(

[red flower]

but yeah that's what i meant, is the message on the card what's wrong?
