[sonic cedar]

i hit the button, the card stays selected but does the transformation properly
since i havent clicked on the card again, the SHED is still there on a card that shouldnt have it

[chrome widget]

Yeah you can do that

[sonic cedar]

the sell button updates states but the shed doe- oh my god is it the state function

do i need it after all

[chrome widget]

I would say look for the vanilla code for a number of the transformation Tarot's or whatnot because I believe those deselect automatically after they're done

That said yeah you could use the state function for this if you really wanted

But honestly not recommended since you want to get rid of the entire button

[sonic cedar]

ok thank goodness

[chrome widget]

If it had a transform back function, then you'd probably use it

[sonic cedar]

it will not

[chrome widget]

I would look it up but I'm not on my PC to have the source code handy

Err

Wait let me look up the Cardsauce repo

[sonic cedar]

i mean i have the source up i just need to know where to look lmao

would it be the defs or just ui.lua

[bitter portal]

okay i decided im scrapping the "seal that discards the card to the right of it when it's discarded" idea for now. i may come back to it in the future when i have a better understanding of the balatro code

now to come up with a new seal idea...

[chrome widget]

Call G.jokers:unhighlight_all() after the transformation code

[sonic cedar]

oh that is the most obvious name ever okay

after the eventchain but before the return true, right?

[chrome widget]

Yeah

(probably)

[sonic cedar]

it's a chain of E_MANAGER events, but here's the last one

i should start sending these messages with pictures more

[chrome widget]

You could possibly unhighlight before the flip events and it would look better?

[sonic cedar]

you guys arent magicians lmfao

[chrome widget]

Since it's not gonna flip with the UI then

[sonic cedar]

oh i just meant like functionality but yeah i can def do that easily

since i have the event that goes before the flips anyway, i can just slide that in here

[pale holly]

i've a video to illustrate the issue i got, which i don't even get it since it's literally took from Vanilla's remade but modified to work on the scoring hands

[sonic cedar]

oh hey deltarune theme- oh except specifically that guy i guess

[pale holly]

is something wrong with the deltarune skin ?

as far as i saw, it looks pretty cool

[scarlet imp]

its too clean, thats the problem

[pale holly]

probably Tenna

it does looks the most polished

[shell timber]

b-side mentioned 🗣️

[sonic cedar]

no i just have no idea what game the club king is from (and why specifically the club king lmfao)

[scarlet imp]

Tenna is just too goated for his own good

[scarlet imp]

chapters 3 and 4 deltarune

[pale holly]

do you play deltarune or got the intention too ?

cuz

spoilers

[chrome widget]

Oh yeah Deltarune I'm gonna play it soon

[sonic cedar]

[chrome widget]

Gonna be annoyed at Tenna when I get to Ch 3 though

[sonic cedar]

now im forever gonna wonder who tf that is until i finally play it

[pale holly]

oh boi, jumpscare for it lmao when it'll happen

[scarlet imp]

impossible, he's too funny to be annoyed with

[sonic cedar]

i already know tenna cause that guy been around since sweepstakes

[sonic cedar]

[pale holly]

Also for some reason the issue got somewhat even more confusin it doesn't even flip twice again it just rank up AGAIN

[chrome widget]

He's a Tumblr sexyman. I am annoyed by Tumblr sexyman by default

Every time a sexyman drops, I am reminded how much Tumblr (and also everyone else) doesn't care about women

[sonic cedar]

why not have a table that adds the first 3 played cards it and then the rank up only updates the cards in that table?

[sonic cedar]

or you know social media in general

[chrome widget]

Yeah

[pale holly]

probably i should that, but that doesn't explain still why the cards rank up Twice

like i legit don't get why, it shouldn't do that

and i tried blocking some parts of the code and it jsut doesn't make it better

[scarlet imp]

Maybe the even you're using to rank up the cards is running twice

Code?

[sonic cedar]

jedi it's right there

[scarlet imp]

ope

[sonic cedar]

granted it IS a lua file so if youre on mobile i apologize

[pale holly]

just there

[red flower]

where context check

[pale holly]

?

[red flower]

you need a specific context, cardarea is too generic

[pale holly]

wouldn't G.play work ?

[red flower]

no, there are multiple contexts with cardarea == G.play

basically, there are contexts and contexts attributes: cardarea is an attribute, youre missing the main context

it needs to be one of the ones listed here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[sonic cedar]

context.cardarea == G.play is like a "this manner specifically" attribute for an certain existing contexts

[pale holly]

ahhh okay

[sonic cedar]

what have you done

[red flower]

killed kitty

[sonic cedar]

[pale holly]

as i said i just retook from the VanillaRemade and edited it a bit, I DID tired using context.before so the cards would change before scoring

...then i just realise now i did that but in the same if line and not before

shit

i'll go test

[sonic cedar]

good thing john remade came to save you

[pale holly]

and also look about it for the calculate as well

Yeeeep

got a lot of saves from my jokers

[scarlet imp]

I'm still dying trying to solve this dumb button I want

[sonic cedar]

im glad mine works now
now i dont ever have to do it again

[scarlet imp]

now the card is being drawn in the middle of the screen and never leaving

[sonic cedar]

hi 1up

[red flower]

whats the problem?

like, what does the code do, i can see the problem lol

[pale holly]

what did you used for spawning the card ?

i know i had that issue before and using SMODS.add_card{ fixed taht

it was there but also non existing

[scarlet imp]

don't mind the print statement at the top
so this function is being called, and I modeled it after the use_consumable function

I think there might be something wrong with the line:

SMODS.calculate_context({ using_consumeable = true, consumeable = card, area = G.jokers })

since Jokers aren't consumables, but I don't know what I'd replace it with

[thorn furnace]

Bump
For clarification, clicking the button just changes a boolean, it doesn't actually do anything to the size
Or it shouldn't
I have no idea why it does or what the process is behind that

[placid star]

so this allows me to buy memory joker even with 5/5 jokers, but it still calls alrt_no_space any ideas?

[red flower]

youre missing the part it destroys the consumable

[red flower]

i have it like that in my mod so its not that

heres how i did it
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/pendulum.lua#L79

[scarlet imp]

so like card:destroy() after the line I mentioned?

[red flower]

look for the start dissolve line

and the getting sliced one too

[red flower]

remove it?

[scarlet imp]

ok it's not staying in the middle anymore, but I also don't want it to be destroyed if I can manage that

[red flower]

oh sorry i get it

call the function in the else when you return

not before

[red flower]

you want it to go back?

[scarlet imp]

yeah, basically you can activate the card occasionally on a cooldown

[red flower]

then replace that for G.jokers:emplace(card)

[modern kindle]

Hello friends and pals

[scarlet imp]

I tried that before, it stays stuck in the middle

[placid star]

any idea why the way i had it didnt work?

[red flower]

because you were calling the function at the beginning so the original calls alert no space before it runs your code

[placid star]

ahh, so return a table like this? return {false, alert_no_space(params)}

[red flower]

no

can you copy the code here i will show u

[placid star]

function G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space(card)
    local ret = cfbs(card)
    if card.config.center.key == 'j_tac_herald' then
        if G.jokers.config.card_limit > G.jokers.config.card_count + 1 then
            return true
        else
            alert_no_space(card, card.ability.consumeable and G.consumeables or G.jokers)
            return false
        end
    elseif card.config.center.key == 'j_tac_memory' then
        if 1 == 1 then
            return true
        else
            alert_no_space(card, card.ability.consumeable and G.consumeables or G.jokers)
            return false
        end
    else
        return ret
    end
end```

[placid star]

okay ill give it a try!

[red flower]

this worked for me draw_card(G.play, G.jokers, 1, 'up', true, card, nil, false)

[scarlet imp]

well, it worked... kinda

hold on

[red flower]

without the emplace

[placid star]

this worked!

[scarlet imp]

ok yeah that was it

[pale holly]

In the end i just had to add a simple context.indvidual and now it seems to trigger properly even though it does score right after their previous rank now, i might rework on this a bit but at least it's working more properly, thanks !!

[scarlet imp]

but it still resulted in one of the most confusing bugs I've ever seen in any kind of code:

[red flower]

yeah

it's trying to emplace the joker twice

[scarlet imp]

gotcha gotcha

[pale holly]

also i suppose from what i see there's no way to make a context.after/before to change the played cards before scoring ? Since context.individual seems to be the only one that does work

[scarlet imp]

I used it in one of my Jokers

for my other mod

[pale holly]

oh ? i tried to use it but it wouldn't do anything, it'll only rank up and everything with context.individual only

[scarlet imp]

if context.after then
  local _suit = pseudorandom_element({"Spades", "Hearts", "Clubs", "Diamonds"}, pseudoseed("err"))
  local _rank = math.random(2, 14)
  for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
      G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = "after", delay = 0.1, func = function()
          local _card = context.scoring_hand[i]
          _card:flip()
          local suit_prefix = string.sub(_suit, 1, 1).."_"
          local rank_suffix = _rank
          if rank_suffix < 10 then rank_suffix = tostring(rank_suffix)
          elseif rank_suffix == 10 then rank_suffix = "T"
          elseif rank_suffix == 11 then rank_suffix = "J"
          elseif rank_suffix == 12 then rank_suffix = "Q"
          elseif rank_suffix == 13 then rank_suffix = "K"
          elseif rank_suffix == 14 then rank_suffix = "A"
          end
          _card:set_base(G.P_CARDS[suit_prefix..rank_suffix])
          _card:flip()
      return true end }))
  end
  delay(1.5)
end

this works fine for me

granted, this uniformly randomizes the suit and rank, so its a bit simpler

if you don't want that then maybe try the individual approach

[pale holly]

maybe i should still check about it, as far as i see you definitely simplified the thing, it's only a context after, no individual or anything, just the cotext scoring hand for afterwards

maybe i'll test it out later on

appreciate the help thanks

[placid star]

can challenge jokers start with rental like they do eternal?

[red flower]

yeah after and individual dont happen at the same time, if you had a cardarea check that might also have been the problem

[pale holly]

that explain a lot more, still gotta get used to the for i = ^part too

[red flower]

no

(without doing it yourself with a patch/hook)

[sonic cedar]

am i doing this right? the joker's effect involves destroying face cards, and face cards get destroyed once you acquire it. will doing this have it factor in the cards it destroyed when it was taken?

(it being the calc context, that's the new thing)

[red flower]

i think destroy_cards does it automatically

[chrome widget]

Yeah

[red flower]

but if it doesnt you also need to pass the cards to the context

[sonic cedar]

i thought it would too, but the card's values didnt increase

[chrome widget]

Perhaps your calculate code is a little off?

[placid star]

how could i patch into the smods class to allow rental to be a valid var for jokers

[red flower]

it might be called before it's in the joker slot

[chrome widget]

Oh yeah that's true

Add to deck is called before the card is in the proper location

[sonic cedar]

cardarea check should fix maybe?

[chrome widget]

(which is annoying)

[sonic cedar]

bruh

[chrome widget]

Typically card creation calls it before it calls the CardArea:emplace

For

Reasons

[sonic cedar]

what can i do then? is it just impossible, or so complicated that you might as well just cope

[red flower]

you can just copy the calculate code into add to deck

[placid star]

what does patches.regex do? ive only used .pattern thus far

[red flower]

same thing but it takes regex

[sonic cedar]

i forgot... the most obvious thing... im too used to doing mental rocket science

[red flower]

idk why that one is regex tho

should be pattern probably

[serene granite]

ok so i am trying to make a joker like faceless joker and i am using vanilla remade as a guide, but i want it to work with steel cards instead of face cards, how can i detect facecards? i tried using is_steel and m_steel, am i doing something wrong?

[red flower]

SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, "m_steel")

[serene granite]

yess thank you

[sonic cedar]

for _, playing_card in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, 'm_steel') then
       steel_tally = steel_tally + 1 end
    end

also this if you wanna tally them steel style

[serene granite]

thanks so much for the quick help you two i appreciate it !

[modern kindle]

Such helpful pals

[sonic cedar]

make sure you check for the existence of G.playing_cards and that tally variable is local as well

(you dont need to do the former if it's in calculate)

hi dilly

[bitter portal]

Am i doing this right (for temporary hands/discards?) Also how do i use pseduorandom?

[sonic cedar]

wait what about the message though? you cant return in add_to_deck

wait actually no easy fix disregard

[fallow breach]

does anyone know what the keyword for playing cards would be here?

or if there is one at all

[sonic cedar]

[red flower]

1. yes
2. what you have but you need to divide G.GAME.probabilities.normal / odds

so G.GAME.probabilities.normal /2 for 1 in 2

[scarlet imp]

is there a global "all Jokers" pool that includes the legendaries too

or something like that

[bitter portal]

ooh, and i just realised the string for pseduorandom is the seed. Thank you!

[red flower]

set == "Base" or set == "Enhanced"
you can also check for card.base.name

[red flower]

for what

[placid star]

so this should in theory work?

[red flower]

i think so yes

[bitter portal]

buh

[scarlet imp]

like there's a pool for what can appear in the shop or in arcana packs for example, I just want to know if there's a pool that contains every Joker or if I have to make it myself

[red flower]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker

[red flower]

oh its without the s

[bitter portal]

ah

[scarlet imp]

this is a sick card

insanely broken too

[placid star]

its supposed to replace serpent naneinf

[red flower]

try :set_rental(true)?

[sonic cedar]

actually what does context.removed use so i can put that instead
cause obv i cant use a context in atd

[scarlet imp]

although, now that I think about it, how does this interact with blinds that hide cards? since the "remaining cards in deck" doesn't update when you draw a face-down card?

[serene granite]

btw is there any documentation for how to create a custom Deck? i want to make a deck that forces the shop to have only jokers of one kind of rarity, is that something that can be done?

[red flower]

it an array of the destroyed cards

[sonic cedar]

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

but also they have mini tutorials/examples in their example mod

[serene granite]

is back another word for deck? i saw this but got confused

[sonic cedar]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/599f32c1caeee6f17e64d849c36768435f77d418/src/backs.lua
alternatively n remade the backs with a coat of less-thunk paint

[modern kindle]

I was gonna say remade was probably the wave

[serene granite]

ohhhh thank you so much ! ill look through that

[sonic cedar]

is it just removed_cards?

[serene granite]

do you know what would be the best vanilla deck to look at for what i am trying to make?
maybe hex deck is there any other that changes how the shop works?

or ghost deck i mean

[pale holly]

it couldn't stop for ace cards cuz it crashed as the other_card thing, but it does now work, i do notice the score still remain the same so i'll change it to a context.after, but thanks again for the help

oh and i didn't even needed the for i = part too since it was already state already lmao

[sonic cedar]

probably ghost deck? cant think of how itd work off the top of my head, but you could try?

[serene granite]

thank you !

[rotund sable]

how do i reload the colors i added? rn i have this code

G.C.EF = {
    PLANT = HEX('FFFFFFFF')--HEX("FF2BE725"),
}

local loc_colour_ref = loc_colour
---@diagnostic disable-next-line: lowercase-global
function loc_colour(_c, _default)
    if not G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS then
        loc_colour_ref()
    end
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.ef_plant = G.C.EF.PLANT

    return loc_colour_ref(_c, _default)
end

and it doesn't seem to update after everything i tried.

rn i tried:
-closing and opening the game
-disabling and enabling the mod
-restarting the pc

[red flower]

no, there's no place theyre stored, you need to make it yourself
or just check ccard

[red flower]

that looks fine for me

are you sure youre loading the file

[rotund sable]

on first load it was set as the dark green and when i wanted to make it darker it stopped refreshing

[red flower]

oh

[sonic cedar]

this should work right?

[red flower]

it takes a 6 letter hex

[rotund sable]

🤦‍♂️ ofc it does

ty N'

[sonic cedar]

wait do i change removed_card to ccard actually

[red flower]

i think you can use 8 but the alpha is at the end? not sure

[red flower]

i would remove that loop and do that yeah

[rotund sable]

i used the color picker in vscode and didnt connect the dots

[scarlet imp]

guys its so close to working

the cards are just a bit funky, I don't think they're actually being replaced as shop cards

[sonic cedar]

ok there

[red flower]

2 things, you dont need to check if its a face twice
youre declaring face_card inside the first if so it wont exist in the second

[rotund sable]

actually i think the problem was something else entirely. i have a rarity named plant... It seems to make it a color by itself and because that file is loaded later it overrode the colors.lua file

[red flower]

oh yeah

[desert hedge]

How can I add a card to the player's consumable area

[sonic cedar]

just noticed lmao

[red flower]

which card

[chrome widget]

whats up modding gang

[scarlet imp]

pain.

what's good lol

[chrome widget]

still dying. I have chili and tortilla chips now though

[rotund sable]

just noticed that most of people in this channel have a balatro mod link in their bio

[gaunt thistle]

i do not

[scarlet imp]

I'm gonna go get Panda Express here in a minute bc I'm hungry

[chrome widget]

aw hell yeah banda express

I don't cause my mod isn't out yet

[rare torrent]

does anybody know how to add an enchacement to a card? for editions is "Card:set_edition" but how do you do that for an enchacement?

[chrome widget]

Card:set_ability()
Pass in the enhancement center, i.e. G.P_CENTERS['key'], though you can also pass in the key directly if you want and it'll parse it

[scarlet imp]

I've probably spent like half the money I made last semester at Panda

[desert hedge]

Cryptid

[chrome widget]

Honestly, as is your right

[desert hedge]

That spectral card

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card{key = "c_cryptid"}

debugging

[rare torrent]

yeah i was looking at that but i don't understand what any of these arguments mean set_ability(self, card, initial, delay_sprites)

i just want to set the enchacement to a steel card if that's possible

[red flower]

card:set_ability("m_steel")

initial is for the first run of set_ability when its created and delay sprites is to delay sprites during scoring (mostly)

[snow breach]

Is there a way to set a “default” for a given pool? For example, a pool of every sin joker that defaults to Wrathful if you try to summon another.

[scarlet imp]

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
  if G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP then
      for i = 1, #G.shop_jokers.cards do
          local _card = G.shop_jokers.cards[i]
          if _card.config.center.set == "Joker" then
              _card = create_card("Joker", G.shop_jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, "reroll_shop")
              create_shop_card_ui(_card, "Joker", G.shop_jokers)
          end
      end
  end
end,

I'm trying to do a manual shop reroll but I'm missing something
the cards that I create aren't actually being placed in the shop I don't think

[chrome widget]

It takes a center, not a card
card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_steel)

[red flower]

yes, there's a field for that in SMODS.ObjectType

[bitter portal]

hey guys how do i set a card to be a small playing card pack

[snow breach]

What is it?

[red flower]

or a key

[chrome widget]

self is implicitly passed from the object calling the function when you use a colon in the function call

[red flower]

default is in the docs

[chrome widget]

And yes both work

[bitter portal]

specifically im trying to set a card to standard_normal_1

[rare torrent]

ummmm not what i was expecting💀 i want it to work like certificate but it gives you a random steel card, but it just turned the joker into steel ```calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.first_hand_drawn then
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
local _card = create_playing_card({
front = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('cert_fr')),
center = G.P_CENTERS.c_base}, G.hand, nil, nil, {G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced})
card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.m_steel)
G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(_card)
G.hand:sort()
return true
end}))

            playing_card_joker_effects({true})
        end
    end``` here's the current code i have

[bitter portal]

steel joker 😭

[scarlet imp]

steel edition Joker when

[red flower]

card in that code should be _card

[serene granite]

can you have a joker create the plasma deck affect in a deck that isnt plasma deck? are there any examples i can look at for this? i kinda want to make a joker that does that

[red flower]

yes

copy the plasma deck calculate from vanillaremade

but in the joker

[chrome widget]

Whatever the object you're calling the function from (card is a standin) should be whatever you want to put the enhancement on. card in that code is the Joker, passed in as a parameter to calculate. _card is your playing card, so use that instead

[scarlet imp]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if G.GAME.selected_back:get_name() == "Plasma Deck" then
      if context.joker_main then
          return {
              x_mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
          }
      end
  else
      if context.final_scoring_step then
          return {
              balance = true
          }
      end
  end
end

[rare torrent]

yeah that was it thank you guys so much!

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/backs.lua#L426-L431

just sending the link N' mentioned

[scarlet imp]

ignore the first part, the final_scoring_step is the important part

[scarlet imp]

bump

[sonic cedar]

oh we in there

is card.config.center.rarity valid

[red flower]

yes

[sonic cedar]

sick

[bitter portal]

how do i set a card to a standard_normal_1 with set_ability

[red flower]

using "p_standard_normal_1" works

but you need additional logic for it to actually work as a pack

[rare torrent]

why does this add the card basically when playing but the message only appears in the main joker scoring timer? if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) then return { message = "M", card = self }, SMODS.add_card{key = "c_cryptid"} i want the card to be added at the same time as the message, so when the joker is supossed to be scoring

[red flower]

i think that this would crash if its the actual code

but anyway, do it inside an event

[rare torrent]

it doesn't crash, but adds the cryptid card way before the message appears

[red flower]

yeah you need to put the add_card line in an event

[rare torrent]

how? sorry im not very good at modding still

[old epoch]

Is there a way to detect how many different poker hands have been played?

[red flower]

something like this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/975e35dce07617c7a9db01ce032152b07e4f0f2f/src/jokers.lua#L1409

[red flower]

yes, check how obelisk checks for the most played, all of them have a played field

[old epoch]

Oh, thank you!

[rare torrent]

ok it's perfect now, thanks again!

also quick question, if i don't specify the cost of a joker does it automatically choose the price based on rairity?

[red flower]

no, it has a default

it should be in the docs what it is but i think it's the price of jimbo

[fallow breach]

i apologize for another basic question but i can't find any info on how to get the mod name below the rarity

that space is there by default and it's bugging me lol

[red flower]

it should be there

how does your json/header look like

[chrome widget]

Did you not fill in the mod badge info in your metadata?

[bitter portal]

so what does that "additional logic" happen to entail

[fallow breach]

ah nevermind i had left a blank space in the json

my bad

[red flower]

no idea :3

[fallow breach]

is there a way to change the color?

[red flower]

yes, it's specified in the docs

something like badge_colour

[fallow breach]

alright

[rotund sable]

any name ideas?

[red flower]

deadly laser

[hallow forge]

22 AM?

[rotund sable]

I tried to make it dynamic by function and IG it failed miserably

[rare torrent]

how can i make a suit not appear in playing card booster packs? or in any pool at all?

[hallow forge]

Sunshine

[red flower]

use the in_pool function

[rare torrent]

and what do i put to not appear in any pool? just a random thing?

[red flower]

return false

[rare torrent]

like "in_pool = false"?

[red flower]

no it's a function

[modern kindle]

    in_pool = function(self)
        return false
    end

[rare torrent]

oh my bad g

ok it works now thanks!

[thorn furnace]

[thorn furnace]

22 AM?

[rotund sable]

yeah a few people from other server said the same

[rotund sable]

@thorn furnace

[scarlet imp]

don't question it

[urban wasp]

there's a blind for my mod that's just "+4 blind requirement" but it only displayed once you entered the blind. i asked somethingcom about this and was told to look at the clock, and tried this

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "joker",
    name = "Joker",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    boss = { min = 1, max = 10 },
    atlas = "blind",
    mult = 1,
    cry_ante_base_mod = function(self, dt)
        return 4
    end,
    boss_colour = HEX("f7343e"),
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        code = { "ScarredOut", "Glitchkat10" }
    }
}

it instead increases the blind size a ton like every second
(my mod is a cryptid addon btw)

[thorn furnace]

Could just use 24 hour time

[rotund sable]

ig

i normaly use 24h but thought 12h may be nicer

for some people

way better

[scarlet imp]

in that case 22:00 would be 10PM

[rotund sable]

ik

my mental logic isn't functioning ig

[urban wasp]

a bit late tbh

sun goes down at like 6 7

in the summer at least

[scarlet imp]

the Joker that actively punishes players for being gaming goblins

[rotund sable]

i still can see the sun and it's 11PM

[urban wasp]

what 😭

when does the sun rise for you

[scarlet imp]

it depends on how far north of the equator you are. Some days in upper Canada have like 18 hours of sunlight

[urban wasp]

yeah i mean i live in az usa and sun rises at like 5 and falls at (again) like ~6 7

[sonic cedar]

why does this trigger twice? instead of the xmult going from 2->4->8 it goes from 2->8->32

[thorn furnace]

I think if ur living that far north in yukon u probably dont have a computer

[scarlet imp]

not a functioning one anyway

[thorn furnace]

More common in south america

Theres even some places in south america with a 24 hour sun

[bitter portal]

Is there a way to get the last chips and mult scored in calculate before that card is scored?

[scarlet imp]

/gamerule doDaylightCycle false type shit

[urban wasp]

bumper bump bumpington

[red flower]

hand_chips and mult are globals

[rotund sable]

actually i wanted to make it end at 8pm but changed it for testing

[red flower]

idk anything about how cryptid works but by context clues I can assume that you only want to return 4 once

[urban wasp]

pretty much

[red flower]

have a variable somewhere that checks if it already returned

[urban wasp]

so just like

...
    jok = false,
    cry_ante_base_mod = function(self, dt)
        if not self.jok then
            self.jok = true
            return 4
        end
        return 0
    end,
...

[red flower]

yeah
but maybe not on self because thats the definition

[urban wasp]

that made it quadruple 🤔

so it's multiplication

[sonic cedar]

figured it out its cause im setting scoredrank to other_card

overwrites itself

so it factors twice

[bitter portal]

wtf do editions not have a calculate field?

[urban wasp]

they do; this is the calculate area for one of my mod's editions

...
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if
            (
                context.edition -- for when on jokers
                and context.cardarea == G.jokers -- checks if should trigger
                and card.config.trigger -- fixes double trigger
            ) or (
                context.main_scoring -- for when on playing cards
                and context.cardarea == G.play
            )
        then
            return { eee_chips = lenient_bignum(self.config.eee_chips), eee_mult = lenient_bignum(self.config.eee_mult) }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            card.config.trigger = true -- context.edition triggers twice, this makes it only trigger once (only for jokers)
        end
        if context.after then
            card.config.trigger = nil
        end
    end,
...

[bitter portal]

right i forgot that was on almost every object type

[urban wasp]

also reminds me that i coded it wrong

[vast bough]

how would i go about altering the "saved by mr. bones"?

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
                return {
                    saved = true,
                    message = "LOOOOOOL"
                }
        end
    end

[urban wasp]

unsure if it's possible without like hooking

[pulsar furnace]

How do I get the number of times a voucher was claimed?

[vast bough]

that is very sad

[urban wasp]

a specific voucher?

[pulsar furnace]

yes

like when unlocking antimatter

[bitter portal]

wait how do i make this award chips AND mult

[scarlet imp]

it is, you just have to make your own localization and reference that instead, I did it for one of my cards

[bitter portal]

nvm im dumb

i figured it out

[urban wasp]

ahhh

[vast bough]

that seems like too much work

[urban wasp]

okay i need to do that then

[vast bough]

thank u guys regardless

[scarlet imp]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and context.game_over and context.main_eval then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                play_sound("tarot1")
                card:start_dissolve()
                return true
            end
        }))
        return {
            message = localize({
                type = "variable",
                key = "k_saved",
                vars = { "1 Up" }
            }),
            colour = G.C.RED
        }
    end
end

[vast bough]

okay maybe not too much effort. this is perfect

[scarlet imp]

hang on

[vast bough]

the reason i was initially annoyed is because it is for joker forge but if i get given ideal code i can write code generation based off of that

so thank u dearly

[scarlet imp]

in your en-us.lua file, in the table misc.dictionary, put this k_saved = "Saved by #1#",

it won't work without that

[bitter portal]

uhhh did i do something wrong... it gave me -0 for both...

[vast bough]

okay im back to 'this is too much effort for now'. will definitely put a pin in this though but for now it can wait until joker forge can generate localisation files properly

[urban wasp]

does this have anything to say that the player was saved? it doesn't look like it 😭

[vast bough]

1 up

[urban wasp]

well yeah but like

[scarlet imp]

also, writing it this way makes it work with any Joker as long as you pass it the text you want, you won't have to make a brand new one for everything

[urban wasp]

it doesn't look like this joker saves you at all or maybe i'm dumb

i just don't see it jimball

[vast bough]

i will get around to it when joker forge can code gen localisation files, thank you though i will save this code for later

[scarlet imp]

it does lol, I promise

[red flower]

no idea, looks right but never worked with editions

[urban wasp]

i mean like where because i don't see it and it might help with trying to code my thingy 😭

[scarlet imp]

it just does idk lol

[urban wasp]

fair enough

[wintry solar]

😭 the first PR I've looked at seems fine but it behaves strangely with something in ortalab and I DONT KNOW WHY

[scarlet imp]

wait hold on

it used to work but its bugged ugh

[red flower]

which

[wintry solar]

the one that handles cards that hide the front sprites

but it might just be a general ortalab bug, I need to check

[errant fulcrum]

I have this code for my custom seal but for some reason it triggers for all cards discarded and not just the ones with the seal

        if context.discard and context.cardarea == G.hand then
            for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do
                local card = G.hand.highlighted[i]
                if card.seal == 'leshys_beeswithin' then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function()
                    SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', area = G.hand, no_edition = true, enhancement = 'm_gold'})
                return true end }))
                end
            end
        end
    end,```

[wintry solar]

okay it's just a general bug cool

[hexed stump]

Awesome, it's all finally working

[scarlet imp]

nvm don't use this code lol

its bugged, I fixed it but its not well written

[vast bough]

lmao

what is the updated version

send the calc function please (calc is short for calculate im just using slang)

[scarlet imp]

one sec

(sec is short for second I'm just cool like that)

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.end_of_round and context.game_over and context.main_eval then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                play_sound("tarot1")
                card:start_dissolve()
                return true
            end
        }))
        return {
            saved = "ph_1_up",
            message = localize("k_saved_ex"),
            colour = G.C.RED
        }
    end
end

new version

unfortunately having a variable for the "Saved by ___" message kinda messes it up

[vast bough]

beautiful, thank you

https://github.com/Jayd-H/joker-forge/issues/114

[scarlet imp]

you still need to define misc.dictionary.<key> in your localization though if you want the correct message though

[vast bough]

yeah thats chill, i appreciate the code

will get around to it... one day

[scarlet imp]

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
  if G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP then
      local new_shop = {}
      for i = 1, #G.shop_jokers.cards do
          local _card = G.shop_jokers.cards[i]
          if _card.config.center.set == "Joker" then
              _card = create_card("Joker", G.shop_jokers, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, "reroll_shop")
              create_shop_card_ui(_card, "Joker", G.shop_jokers)
          end
          new_shop[#new_shop + 1] = _card
      end
      G.shop_jokers.cards = new_shop
  end
end,

this is rerolling shop Jokers but they're not actually being placed into the shop, like the don't have the "Buy" button or anything, any ideas

[vast bough]

that is a crazy bug ive never even seen that before

[scarlet imp]

yeah its pretty weird hold on

and because they're not being added to the shop they stay there forever lol

[lofty sand]

hey, does anyone know how I could get the current shop size? (in terms of card slots)

[daring fern]

G.GAME.shop.joker_max?

[lofty sand]

maybe, I'll try realq

[scarlet imp]

am I passing in the wrong arguments to create_shop_card_ui()? In the definition for the function, its supposed to add a node for the buy button, but I don't think it's ever reaching it

[pale rampart]

quick question: are booster packs more rare if you put a higher number or a lower number on the "weight" value

[sonic cedar]

ok nvm i have no idea why it's double gaining

[scarlet imp]

is it meant to be added or multiplied by xmult_gain

[sonic cedar]

it's supposed to double

but it's double doubling

[bitter portal]

why is score_passthrough nil... how do i do a custom config value

[sonic cedar]

example: 1->4 (not intended) instead of 1->2 (intended)

[daring fern]

Because it would be card.edition.score_passthrough

[bitter portal]

whoops

thank you

[frigid cargo]

how can i check if played poker has been played? i have a loop but id how to check if its been played before

[sonic cedar]

G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played_this_round > 1

[maiden phoenix]

G.GAME.hands[hand].played

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[sonic cedar]

or yeah played if not just this round

make sure you have G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name] and too so it knows if it exists

[errant fulcrum]

Okay so the only wrinkle left here is that when I discard two cards with this seal, it creates four gold cards instead of two but I can't tell why

        if context.discard and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card == card then
            for i=1, #G.hand.highlighted do
                local card = G.hand.highlighted[i]
                if card.seal == 'leshys_beeswithin' then
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function()
                    SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', area = G.hand, no_edition = true, enhancement = 'm_gold'})
                return true end }))
                end
            end
        end
    end,```

[sonic cedar]

double trigger issue twins

[wintry solar]

remove your for loop

[frigid cargo]

oh ok thanks

[scarlet imp]

i wish I knew but I'm just as confused as you, it looks fine

[sonic cedar]

pain

ill work on it more when i get back home

[errant fulcrum]

Was it really that simple this whole time

[scarlet imp]

how can I add a card to the shop?

[frigid cargo]

what does context.main_eval do?

[wintry solar]

makes sure it's the main evaluation of the card basically

[rare torrent]

is it possible in loc_txt to use custom colors instead of attention/chips/mult etc? "{C:chips}{}"

[daring fern]

Yes.

[scarlet imp]

@red flower what's the proper way to use the new context you made for SMODS? the context.evaluate_poker_hand one

[rare torrent]

how then? like imagine i want to use a hex color, how would i format that?

[daring fern]

You would do {V:1} then in loc_vars you would do return {vars = {colours = {HEX("HEX")}}} I think.

[rare torrent]

that did the trick, thank you!

[wintry solar]

you can also add your own colour codes

by adding them to the G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS table

[red flower]

if context.evaluate_poker_hand then
  local poker_hands = context.poker_hands
  return {
    -- It will be treated as a High Card
    replace_scoring_name = "High Card",
    -- It will be called Royal Straight
    replace_display_name = "Royal Straight", -- or a loc key
    replace_poker_hands = poker_hands
  }
end

you can also return replace_poker_hands but it's a bit more complicated, basically you can do poker_hands["Flush"] = {} to remove all flushes and stuff like that so the hand doesnt contain a flush anymore

[scarlet imp]

THANK YOUUU this is so helpful

[frigid cargo]

oh i see thanks

[red flower]

basically this + poker hand visibility can recreate Mathguy's Pairs don't exist blind

[rare torrent]

wait it says in the docs that it auto adds colors based on suit's and i have a custom suit i wanna use the color of local omega_suit = SMODS.Suit{ key = "omega_suit", card_key = "O", hc_atlas = 'omega_suit', lc_atlas = 'omega_suit', hc_ui_atlas = 'omega_ui', lc_ui_atlas = 'omega_ui', hc_colour = HEX('0026FF'), lc_colour = HEX('0026FF'), pos = { y = 0 }, ui_pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }, loc_txt = { singular = "Omega", plural = "Omegas" }, in_pool = function(self) return false end } how do i do that? {C:omega_omega_suit} isn't working (omega being the mod prefix)

[wintry solar]

if you're running debugplus, just run eval G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS in the console and find what the key is

[scarlet imp]

this doesn't effect Devious Joker (chips for straights), Crazy Joker (mult), or The Order (Xmult), is that because they check the cards you play manually when its evaluated?

[red flower]

For those you would need to modify poker_hands

they check for containment

[scarlet imp]

gotcha

[rare torrent]

i mean it says something like this "omega_suit: Table:
1: 0
2: 0.14901960784314
3: 1
4: 1" so what now?

[red flower]

then it's just {C:omega_suit}

[rare torrent]

oh no mod prefix? goddam

[red flower]

i think because smods removes the prefix if you add it manually

[frigid cargo]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
   if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                if G.GAME.hands[k].played > 0 then
                    card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
                end
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then

                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end,
}

i know what i did wrong but what im trying to do is check if hand has been played before and if so, add mult. the problem is the code i have right now will always update but i just want it to me a one time thing, how can i make it do that?

[red flower]

so only upgrade once per hand type?

[frigid cargo]

yes

[red flower]

and never again?

or once per blind or something

[frigid cargo]

if played hand has been played before so yes

[red flower]

-- add played_hands = {} to config extra
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do

                card.ability.extra.played_hands[k] = true
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            end
        end
    end
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
end

[rotund sable]

(JokerDisplay) im confused. why wont it show up the 2x

  mod_function = function(card, mod_joker)
        print((EF.photosynthesis_hour_check(mod_joker) and card.config.center.rarity == "EF_plant" and mod_joker.ability.extra.xmult ^ JokerDisplay.calculate_joker_triggers(mod_joker) or nil))
        return {
            xmult = (EF.photosynthesis_hour_check(mod_joker) and card.config.center.rarity == "EF_plant" and mod_joker.ability.extra.xmult ^ JokerDisplay.calculate_joker_triggers(mod_joker) or nil),
        }
    end

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[red flower]

sadly i never used jokerdisplay

[rotund sable]

🥺

[red flower]

did you try clicking on it

sometimes the modifiers hide themselves (dont know why)

[rotund sable]

other one works fine

[red flower]

i know what it might be gimme a sec

xmult is not a valid option :3

i can add it

[vague crest]

is there a convenient way to add an extra voucher slot to the shop?

[rotund sable]

damn it

[red flower]

SMODS.change_voucher_limit(1)

[vague crest]

sickk i was hoping it was simple

[rare torrent]

probrably a big ask but i can't find anything in the docs about can_use and use functions, like a wanna make a cosumable that works like any other tarrot that changes 3 cards suit's, but to my own custom suit, how could i do that? ```use = function(self, card, area, copier)
end,

    can_use = function(self, card)
end```

[scarlet imp]

if context.scoring_name == card.ability.extra.poker_hand and context.end_of_round and not context.game_over and context.cardarea == G.jokers then

any reason this doesn't work for detecting if the player ends a Blind with a specific hand?

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/tarots.lua#L1222

[rare torrent]

thank you so much!

[frigid cargo]

uhhh

[obtuse talon]

sorry, but does anyone know if there is a like, template for creating a main.lua for a Malverk card replacement?

I found this mod, but it only has the png of 1-13 all suites, and tells you to replace the 8bit deck, but I don't wanna use the mod all the time, and found Malverk. I have the folder structure right I think, with the assets, 2x, .png, but I am terrible at coding (only done python), and can't understand the help on the malverk page. (I tried to use deepseek, and gemini 2.5 pro, and to trouble shoot with them, but I get through various phases of crashing at startup, crashing when entering the texture menu, the mod just not loading, and the mod doing everything perfectly... but on the back of the cards...)

Any help is very much appreciated

[vague crest]

is there anything specific im missing thats causing these to display as nil

[rotund sable]

Yes

You close off the vars

In the loc_vars

return {vars = {#1#, #2#, #3#}}

[vague crest]

yuppp that was it

ty !

[red flower]

did you do what the comment says

[rare torrent]

how do i make a consumable create a random joker based on a custom rarity? kinda like soul execpt for a rarity in my mod

[frigid cargo]

Yes

Imma try it out again later thank tho

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = "Joker", rarity = "modprefix_key"})

[rare torrent]

that worked thank you!

[vague crest]

trying to increase the rate of playing cards in the shop (just a testing number) for a deck, any idea whats going wrong?

they still do appear in the shop just not at the extra frequency

[rare torrent]

how about adding a joker from my mod? like any joker that i added

[red flower]

try doing it in an event

[daring fern]

local mymodjokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
    if v.set == "Joker" and v.mod and v.mod.id == "modid" then
        table.insert(mymodjokers, v.key)
    end
end
local joker = pseudorandom_element(mymodjokers, "seed")
SMODS.add_card({key = joker, set = "Joker"})
```?

[rare torrent]

do i put that outside or inside the calculate function? "im making a joker sorta of like riff raff"

[vague crest]

like so? still getting the same issue

im wondering if maybe magic trick is taking effect after and overwriting it

[rare torrent]

also it's crashing either way

[rotund sable]

pseudoseed("seed")

instead of "seed"

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

Update SMODS

[rotund sable]

no?

that worked for me

whe i got that error

[daring fern]

Then you should also update SMODS

[rotund sable]

oohhh

[red flower]

probably actually, just modifying that value works

[vague crest]

yep its definitely that i removed the vouchers and now i only see cards

i definitely want the vouchers to still be redeemed though

[real night]

i am asking yet again, how do you add to a poker hands' chips or mult

[daring fern]

G.GAME.hands["handname"].mult = G.GAME.hands["handname"].mult + number same for chips but it would be .chips instead of .mult

[real night]

yay

[rare torrent]

it's now saying this

[daring fern]

I updated the code to fix that I think.

[vague crest]

is there a clean way to do this out of curiosity?

bc all the code technically works here its just applying in the wrong order

[real night]

actually how would you do this to every hand

[rare torrent]

still giving that same error

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    v.mult = v.mult + number
end

[daring fern]

Perhaps now the code is fixed?

[vague crest]

attempting this causes a crash i fear

[rare torrent]

ok it is actually spawning a random joker now, but it's spawning any joker in the game, not my mods jokers

nevermind i fixed it!

just changed the variables names, probrably "local joker" was conflicting with the actuall joker pool

thank you very much!

oh wait...

nah i just got lucky💀

it's still creating any joker

[daring fern]

Did you change "modid" to your mod id?

[rare torrent]

yes i did

[daring fern]

Code?

[rare torrent]

doubled checked it

for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
    if v.set == "Joker" and v.mod and v.mod.id == "omega" then
        table.insert(mymodjokers, v.key)
    end
end
local omegjoker = pseudorandom_element(mymodjokers, "seed")

local omega_joker = SMODS.Joker{
    key = "omega_joker",
    
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Omega",
        text = {
            "Turns every card in your deck into an {C:omega_suit}Omega{} Suit",
            "Also creates {C:attention}1 Joker{} from {X:omega_suit,C:white}OMEGATRO{} when {C:attention}Blind{} is selected"
        }
    },

    atlas = "omega_joker",
    
    pos = {x=0, y= 0},
    soul_pos = {x=0, y= 1},
    
    rarity = "omega_simp",
    cost = 20,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.first_hand_drawn then
            SMODS.add_card({key = omegjoker, set = "Joker"})
        end
    end
}```

[daring fern]

Why are you doing it outside of the joker?

[rare torrent]

uhhhh idk

[midnight coyote]

how do i make a new cardarea

[rare torrent]

i asked if it needed to be inside or outside the joker and got no answer😭

[daring fern]

Modded jokers don't exist in G.P_CENTERS at that time.

[midnight coyote]

moreover, how would i inject it into UI

[rare torrent]

so something like this? calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.first_hand_drawn then local mymodjokers = {} for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do if v.set == "Joker" and v.mod and v.mod.id == "omega" then table.insert(mymodjokers, v.key) end end local omegjoker = pseudorandom_element(mymodjokers, "seed") SMODS.add_card({key = omegjoker, set = "Joker"}) end end

[daring fern]

Yes.

[rare torrent]

i tried that, but still spawning any joker

like when the blind is selected, it spawns a random joker from the og balatro, it's only supossed to spawn jokers from my mod

[daring fern]

Are you sure the id is correct?

[rare torrent]

pretty sure

  "id": "omegatro",
  "name": "OMEGATRO",
  "description": "i love balatro",
  "version": "1.0.1",
  "author": ["omega"],
  "mod_type": "gameplay",
  "main_file": "main.lua",
  "prefix": "omega",
  "badge_colour": "0046FF"
}```

wait

oh

id???

omg im so blind💀💀💀

i thougth it was prefix

ok yeah now it's working thank you so much again😭😭😭

[flat siren]

man every time i come in here its new stuff. y'all are great

[urban wasp]

so yesterday i wanted to make my boss blind (+4 blind requirement (e.g. score at least 300 -> 304)) display correctly when not selected, as it had only applied when the blind was selected. anyway i tried this and it turns out that cry_ante_base_mod multiplies instead of adds. how could i possibly get around this?

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "joker",
    name = "Joker",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    boss = { min = 1, max = 10 },
    atlas = "blind",
    mult = 1,
    jok = false,
    cry_ante_base_mod = function(self, dt)
        if not self.jok then
            self.jok = true
            return 4
        end
        return 0
    end,
    disable = function(self)
        self.jok = false
    end,
    boss_colour = HEX("f7343e"),
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        code = { "ScarredOut", "Glitchkat10" }
    }
}

[vast night]

hi again. how can i load the contents of a file as text?

[vast night]

hm. could you try making it (base + 4) / base (idk if the function automatically adds 1 so it would become ((base + 4) / base ) + 1 or you would need to add that automatically

i quickly came up with this but i hope this works

edit

ignore my part with +1

i didnt use my brain

[urban wasp]

ooh

uhh what do i replace "base" with again i forgot

[vast night]

uhm. idk honestly. just get the blind requirement in some way ig lol

[urban wasp]

okay yeah i'll just look lol

oh goodie

cry_ante_base_mod = function(self, dt)
    if not self.jok then
        self.jok = true
        return (G.GAME.blind.chips + 4) / G.GAME.blind.chips
    end
    return 0
end,

[vast night]

yippe

[urban wasp]

sob

[vast night]

does this happen with the joker / modifyer?

i think its because you return 0 and you cant divide by 0

[red flower]

yeah probably return nil

[urban wasp]

true

[vast night]

hes back chat

[red flower]

whom

[urban wasp]

somebody named "n'"

[red flower]

im always here i just ignore the chat when i see a lot of big blocks of code

[urban wasp]

true

[vast night]

guys hes hiding in the walls

[red flower]

also im slowly reading the mod manager thread

[urban wasp]

anyway WHY 😭

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "joker",
    name = "Joker",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    boss = { min = 1, max = 10 },
    atlas = "blind",
    mult = 1,
    jok = false,
    cry_ante_base_mod = function(self, dt)
        if not self.jok then
            self.jok = true
            return (G.GAME.blind.chips + 4) / G.GAME.blind.chips
        end
        return nil
    end,
    disable = function(self)
        self.jok = false
    end,
    boss_colour = HEX("f7343e"),
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        code = { "ScarredOut", "Glitchkat10" }
    }
}

[vast night]

we need an ai bot to repeatedly ask questions to just kill everyone

[vast night]

try replacing nil with 1?

[urban wasp]

this is like the cryptid #i-need-help description

[urban wasp]

already tried; same result (infinity)

[vast night]

jwoop

print out the calculation result

the variables may return nil

[rare torrent]

is this not how you convert a suit? scored_card.ability.suit = 'omega_suit'

[urban wasp]

-# how would i do that

[red flower]

no, use SMODS.change_base

[vast night]

idk you may try. elsewise does :set_suit() work?
nvm N' answered

[daring fern]

No.

[vast night]

print(). you can even see logs in the game using db+ instead of switching to lovely console

[vast night]

No.

[red flower]

Yes.

[vast night]

Maybe.

[ivory coral]

SMODS.change_base(card, rank, suit), you can leave rank or suit as nil if you dont want to change those

[red flower]

also emoji reactions are not working on my phone so something's power has been nerfed

[vast night]

/bump

[vast night]

wat

oooh

[red flower]

1

[rare torrent]

so like this? SMODS.change_base(scored_card, nil, 'omega_suit')

it'ssss not doing anything

[molten rover]

alright chat i got an idea for my launcher script right
so right now i just have a list of mods and their github repositories (from awesome-balatro)
my problem is, not all mods are installed by just cloning the repository into the mods folder
another problem is, not all mods can be used standalone with no other mods
another problem is, having only this selection of mods limits how many mods the user can install with the program
another problem is, mods generally include more information than just its name and a vague category
my idea is to have a sorta database that includes mods, information like the author and description, and a script that installs it
another problem is, itd take weeks to go through every balatro mod and write a script that works on every system to install it
what should i do chat

[vague crest]

anyone got any idea why this is crashing?

[ivory coral]

im not 100% sure how custom suits are handled but i think so
given that scored_card is a given card, i dont recognize that bit
what context is this running in

[vast night]

wtf

also

there already is a mod loader

[vast night]

it would help seeing the crash logs

[rare torrent]

im basically making midas mask, but it changes every card's played suit ```if context.before and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
local converted = 0
for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
SMODS.change_base(scored_card, nil, 'omega_suit')
converted = converted + 1

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                scored_card:juice_up()
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
    if converted > 0 then
        return {
            message = 'Omega!',
            colour = G.C.SUITS['omega_suit']
        }
    end
end```

[urban wasp]

well yeah i know but like where

[vague crest]

thisi s all i got

[red flower]

you might be interested in the discussion in https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1391137484238360576

[daring fern]

Because back.config.vouchers is usually a table of voucher keys.

[rare torrent]

everythink works fine execpt the changing suits part

[ivory coral]

looks mostly good, the suit should be modprefix_key though

[vague crest]

ok wait how would i resolve this then

would it just pretty much be pasting that code in iinstead

[daring fern]

Put it in extra

[vague crest]

oh

[vast night]

oop sorry just put it beffore the return of the calculation there

[rare torrent]

still not changing the suits for some reason

[vast night]

what if you try hearts? sry ive never done that so thats just a guess

[ivory coral]

wrap SMODS.change_base in an assert()
itll crash but should give an error message

[vague crest]

woahhh sick it works

[ivory coral]

then with the error message maybe we can see whats wrong

[rare torrent]

also didn't work

[vast night]

/bump twice

[vast night]

welp then try like Osquo said and put it in an assert

[rotund sable]

damn

rank != suit

[vast night]

you put nil in quotes?

[ivory coral]

ah
youre setting the suit as a rank

[rare torrent]

a

[ivory coral]

thats my bad

i messed up the order when i told you

[rotund sable]

i'd search for lua specific solutions

[ivory coral]

its (card, suit, rank)

[rare torrent]

no problem, what matters is that it works now, thank you very much!

[vague crest]

one last question, i added the extra bit to everything in the other deck and while i think itll get the effect im hoping for once ive added everything properly, it's currently still crashing. does anyone know a fix?

[vast night]

self? what are you trying to do here

did you mean G, Gameor card?

[daring fern]

No, remove that.

[vague crest]

oh yeah i have that deck working this is hte other one im trying to set up today

[daring fern]

Still remove that.

[vague crest]

it's supposed to increase the rate of seeing playing cards with illusion in the shop, but im trying to set it up so that it applies the voucher before applying the playing card rate increase because magic trick by default overwrites it

[vast night]

How can i load the text of a file in my mod? I remember hearing smtn about systemfs or smtn like that

[thorn furnace]

Bump

[frozen smelt]

i'm booting up to a black screen

idk if its mod related but it doesnt usually happen

think it is mod related tho because i reinstall the game to no black screen

[red flower]

can i see the code, just had an idea of what it might be

for the button and whatever function it uses

[thorn furnace]

Code for the button or for the functions for the button?

[thorn furnace]

Oki

[red flower]

im a psychic

[thorn furnace]

:3

Here is the functions

Lemme grab the button

[urban wasp]

boowump
i want this blind to have blind requirement + 4 but this make the blind requirement just turn into infinity

[thorn furnace]

there u go

[daring fern]

I think you would have to calculate the blind size manually.

[urban wasp]

so like

[daring fern]

get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante)*G.P_BLINDS.bl_modprefix_key.mult*G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling

[urban wasp]

yeah that works lol

[red flower]

have you tried setting card.ability.lock_text to a value before you create the button

[urban wasp]

great

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "joker",
    name = "Joker",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    boss = { min = 1, max = 10 },
    atlas = "blind",
    mult = 1,
    jok = false,
    cry_ante_base_mod = function(self, dt)
        if not self.jok then
            self.jok = true
            return get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante)*G.P_BLINDS.bl_crp_joker.mult*G.GAME.starting_params.ante_scaling
        end
        return nil
    end,
    disable = function(self)
        self.jok = false
    end,
    boss_colour = HEX("f7343e"),
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        code = { "ScarredOut", "Glitchkat10" }
    }
}

i have no idea why this is happening

[thorn furnace]

like on instantiation of the card or smth?

not entirely sure where that would go

[red flower]

you can put it in the patch just before local lock probably

[thorn furnace]

unless you mean just like

oh

yeah

I'll give it a shot

[red flower]

my guess is that it gets messed up by it being nil the first time before the other function loads

[final jewel]

Small question, is the rarity actually makes consumable rarer to be drop ?

[ocean goblet]

how does one load their config in other files?

as in those loaded via SMODS.load_file

[errant fulcrum]

Does context.destroy_card trigger its effects when a card is destroyed or is it used itself to destroy cards?

[red flower]

SMODS.Mods["modid"].config iirc

[ocean goblet]

thank you :D

[red flower]

or SMODS.current_mod.config in initial loading

which you can save for easier access

[red flower]

to destroy

[errant fulcrum]

Ah, is there a context for when cards are destroyed?

[thorn furnace]

That seemed to work
Thank uuu

I can now move onto the next UI thing I will suffer with

[red flower]

context.remove_playing_cards for playing cards, context.joker_type_destroy for other things (in the next SMODS release)

[errant fulcrum]

Thanks a million

[thorn furnace]

The last one should be relatively super simple if I play my cards right
I just create rectangles
one on top of the other
and the top rectangle has a dynamic height

[red flower]

good luck

[thorn furnace]

:3

There's no text so recalculate shouldn't fail me 🙏

[hidden sable]

anyone know how to make a shader overlay the games "camera"

i need to make a function that overlays a shader for 170 seconds and if the event isnt cancelled before it ends it ends the run

[urban wasp]

probably last bump before i scrap trying this

[sour garden]

how do i use a global variable to make a sell counter? i tried to use a reset_game_globals to set it but the game says that i'm trying to increment a nil value here

[hidden sable]

jsut call the global

[sour garden]

would one of the values you're using to multiply the blind score be zero? try removing one of the variables to see if the score goes back up

[hidden sable]

like literally just call the global in its own line

[errant fulcrum]

Is there a way to manipulate a card's position in the deck? Or at least place it at the top of the deck?

[hidden sable]

anyone know how i can get my shader into balatro?

{
    vec2 uv = fragCoord / iResolution.xy;
    vec3 bg = texture(iChannel0, uv).rgb;

    float speed = 0.0059;
    float t = clamp(iTime * speed, 0.0, 1.0);

    float borderPx = 0.5;
    float thickness = borderPx / iResolution.y;

    float freq = 50.0;
    float flash = (sin(iTime * freq) * 0.02) + 0.5;

    vec3 col = bg;

    float borderPos = 1.0 - t;
    if (uv.y > borderPos) {
        float darkR = 1.0;
        float brightR = 0.9;
        col.r = mix(darkR, brightR, flash);
        col.g = bg.g * (1.0 - flash * 0.8);
        col.b = bg.b * (1.0 - flash * 0.8);
    }

    if (uv.y < borderPos + thickness && uv.y > borderPos - thickness) {
        col = vec3(1.0);
    }

    fragColor = vec4(col, 1.0);
}

[urban wasp]

ante = 1
"mult" (blind size) = 1
ante_scaling = should be 300 i think

i guess now that i think about it i don't have anything for the +4 blind req but like stilllllll

[mellow osprey]

how would i code a joker card where it gives me x3 mult when a king is played but when i play a queen it gives me 0.50x mult how would i do that shiish

[hidden sable]

sexist joker, look at trib

[daring fern]

No, ante_scaling should be 1.

[urban wasp]

okay right

but somehow this is equaling 0

[hidden sable]

[mellow osprey]

thanks bro!

[sour garden]

that's just the code for trib

[hidden sable]

yeha

[sour garden]

you gotta modify it

[urban wasp]

uh no i'm pretty sure he was just giving an example on how you could do so

[mellow osprey]

yeah man i dont know shit of coding im just in a call with friends

[frozen smelt]

anyone know the issue here

[urban wasp]

oh 😭

[frozen smelt]

shouldn't be too much i hope

[hidden sable]

x1 and x2?

[urban wasp]

do you have a 1x and 2x

[frozen smelt]

just x2 i think

[hidden sable]

you nee dboth

[urban wasp]

yeah you need both

[hidden sable]

peak spelling mistakes

[frozen smelt]

i have both the issue just persists with just x2

judging by the crashlog

[urban wasp]

is there a "dl_bald_joker" file in 1x

[hidden sable]

needs to be like this

[frozen smelt]

no just a j_bald_joker

[urban wasp]

then rename it as such

[hidden sable]

name it just bald_joker

[frozen smelt]

alright

[urban wasp]

actually this might be it i just forgot

could be either

[frozen smelt]

not this no

[hidden sable]

both pngs need to be the same name

[frozen smelt]

yeah i got that

both have the same name

[urban wasp]

then try this instead

i.e. make both "dl_bald_joker"

[frozen smelt]

alright

[sour garden]

okay but like
do i just declare it at the top of main or do i need to put it inside a function orrrr

[hidden sable]

put it inside nothing

jsut declare it

[frozen smelt]

this didn't work either

same crash each time

[hidden sable]

id put it in its own file for organization sake

[frozen smelt]

is this not the correct file organisation?

[sour garden]

i'm already putting every joker in their own file, i think it's fine in main

[urban wasp]

should be correct

[frozen smelt]

what else could be the issue

[urban wasp]

are you sure the atlas is correct?

[hidden sable]

how is the atlas being defined

[urban wasp]

like the SMODS.Atlas

[frozen smelt]

in jokers.lua?

[urban wasp]

yes

[hidden sable]

wherevr

[frozen smelt]

    key = "bald_joker",
    path = "j_bald_joker.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
})```

[hidden sable]

what

[hidden sable]

path need to be whatever you have your actual apth as

[frozen smelt]

so j_bald_joker.png was fine the first time, or should have been

[urban wasp]

path is wrong

[hidden sable]

so in this case dl_bald_joker

[frozen smelt]

it didn't work when it was j_bald_joker.png

[hidden sable]

mrpolybridge

wreong person but point stands

[hidden sable]

try it now then

then lets see

[frozen smelt]

aight

[hidden sable]

my theory is your atlas in the actual joker is wrong

[frozen smelt]

same crash

[frozen smelt]

wdym

[hidden sable]

show joker code

or at least

where you define atlas

inside the joker

[frozen smelt]

    key = "bald_joker",
    path = "dl_bald_joker.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
})

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "bald_joker",
    config = { extra = { mult = 2} },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 4,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    effect = nil,
    atlas = 'bald_joker',
    soul_pos = nil,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if card.debuff then return nil end
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            return {
                shake_card(context.cardarea),
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
            }
        end
    end,

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

from the atlas, all relevant code

[hidden sable]

atlas is correct...

[urban wasp]

unsure

[frozen smelt]

equally as confused

[urban wasp]

can i see this again

[hidden sable]

also if you are defiing something as nil you can jsut not define it

[frozen smelt]

helps my sanity if its nil

[urban wasp]

dumb question: you sure you saved everything

[hidden sable]

ight

[frozen smelt]

yes

[hidden sable]

and reloaded

aslo whats in globals.lua

[frozen smelt]

just colors

[urban wasp]

anyway

ummmmmm

[hidden sable]

so how is joker being defined?

[rotund sable]

My best guess is atlas key and joker key are clashing

[urban wasp]

FOUND THE ISSUE

[hidden sable]

oh wiat

sorry

stupid

[rotund sable]

If not I have no clue

[frozen smelt]

whats the issue here

[urban wasp]

it's supposed to be "1x" and "2x" not "x1" and "x2"

[hidden sable]

OH

YEAH

good catch

[red flower]

classic

[urban wasp]

sob

[hidden sable]

the wizard is here

[frozen smelt]

wait what

how do i change that then

[hidden sable]

rename folder

[rotund sable]

Rename folders

[hidden sable]

kind wizard of n, how does shaders work

how can a make a simple shader overlay

[urban wasp]

they make things look cool

[frozen smelt]

oh wait

i misread

damn i am an idiot

[urban wasp]

learn the entirety of glsl

[hidden sable]

i wanna know how to put it ingame tho

i ahve one made

[urban wasp]

ah

[hidden sable]

{
    vec2 uv = fragCoord / iResolution.xy;
    vec3 bg = texture(iChannel0, uv).rgb;

    float speed = 0.0059;
    float t = clamp(iTime * speed, 0.0, 1.0);

    float borderPx = 0.5;
    float thickness = borderPx / iResolution.y;

    float freq = 50.0;
    float flash = (sin(iTime * freq) * 0.02) + 0.5;

    vec3 col = bg;

    float borderPos = 1.0 - t;
    if (uv.y > borderPos) {
        float darkR = 1.0;
        float brightR = 0.9;
        col.r = mix(darkR, brightR, flash);
        col.g = bg.g * (1.0 - flash * 0.8);
        col.b = bg.b * (1.0 - flash * 0.8);
    }

    if (uv.y < borderPos + thickness && uv.y > borderPos - thickness) {
        col = vec3(1.0);
    }

    fragColor = vec4(col, 1.0);
}```

[urban wasp]

i mean you can just replace the shader file of a different mod

[hidden sable]

for ref

[hidden sable]

yeah but

[urban wasp]

that's what i did

[hidden sable]

what is this

[urban wasp]

oh wait did you make your shader outside of balatro/LOVE

[hidden sable]

uhhh

i made the shader inside shadertoys

[urban wasp]

yeah you're cooked idk how to convert that lol

[hidden sable]

😭L

[urban wasp]

somebody probably does

i am not a shader guy alright

[hidden sable]

its a simple shader tho it shouldnt be too hard

onyl time vremade doesnt come in clutch

[urban wasp]

you underestimate the number of syntax errors that are possible

the only two shaders in my mod (of the 11 editions) were made on complete accident or were a joke from ai slop 😭

it's great

no it's not but like the only ways i've ever done shaders were by just messing with values on other shaders

because i have no clue why any time i ever try to make a shader i get 50 syntax errors

[hidden sable]

the shader should be even easier considering it's not going on a card

it's just an overlay

[frozen smelt]

thanks for helping guys all is well now

[hidden sable]

like the vhs shader or whatever

[frozen smelt]

appreciate it even if it was a stupid issue of mine

[hidden sable]

we cannot believe your mistake so in turn the entire community will be blocking you

[frozen smelt]

just as planned

[hidden sable]

lol

[urban wasp]

classic lurking somethingcom "🤔"

[hidden sable]

LMFAO WHAT

i need to figure out how to do that that is funny asf

[urban wasp]

okay unironically this is just what i wanted to do with one of my jokers (but just for enhancements)

ended up commenting it out though since returns end all next things so i would have to create an if for every single scenario (e.g. lucky cards and echo cards' probabilities)

[daring fern]

You didn't use the built in quantum enhancements?

[hidden sable]

average modded joker

imagine a card enhancement that would slowly infect all your cards

[final jewel]

how do I make a cunsumable spawn as freakently as the soul ?

[daring fern]

hidden = true

[urban wasp]

i find it hilarious that the joker was literally named "quantum joker"

but no i have no idea what those are

[daring fern]

The only thing that is missing is multiple of the same sticker.

[hidden sable]

seals on every more like every on every

[final jewel]

? I don't realy understand. like hidden = true is not for hidding something, isn't it ?

[urban wasp]

hidden = true is for things like the soul

[hidden sable]

means it won't show up in shop and can only be gotten from a would card

[urban wasp]

makes things appear rarely

[hidden sable]

or wait sorry

misread

execute me ig... 😢

[final jewel]

like I want my consumable to be as rare as a soul in my packs

its going to do that Ig

[urban wasp]

yep that's just hidden

[hidden sable]

i consider mr poly bridge and n to be the wizards of the modding community

the ⬆️ should get a balatro makeover

[hidden sable]

anyways any wizards here that know shaders?

[hasty mist]

how do you use loc_vars on a blind

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

Is it not the same as normal loc_vars?

[urban wasp]

not a single one

[tranquil axle]

hey so why is this happening?

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Shenanagain
--- MOD_ID: shenanagain
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [TheTyphothanian]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Shenanigans but again
--- PREFIX: shen
--- VERSION: 1.0.0

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

SMODS.Atlas {
  key = "shen",
  path = "shen_atlas.png",
  px = 71,
  py = 95
}

[idle plaza]

What's the file structure of your mod so far? The code shown for your Atlas is correct, so something else must be going wrong.

[tranquil axle]

also using vs code is there something better?

[daring fern]

No.

[tranquil axle]

dang

[daring fern]

shen_atlas.png should be in assets/1x and assets/2x

[tranquil axle]

oh my god

[daring fern]

2x being double sized.

[tranquil axle]

yeah

I've seen that when digging through mod files just completely forgot

testing

same error

[daring fern]

What does the file structure look like now?

[lucid owl]

also, you don't need that ancient mod header

[tranquil axle]

oke

[lucid owl]

just do your stuff in the metadata .json

[tranquil axle]

ye but I saw some mods doing it

felt like I should

[lucid owl]

it's not needed and updated mods don't have it

[tranquil axle]

now I know

[storm frigate]

ok hear me out:

what if i try to add folders to the mod menu in smods

[tranquil axle]

aight bet

[storm frigate]

what are the odds i accidentaly delete everything

[tranquil axle]

high

[tranquil axle]

still no idea what the issue is?

[daring fern]

What's in the lovely.toml?

[tranquil axle]

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.copy]
target = "main.lua"
position = "append"
sources = [
    "shenanagain.lua"
]

do I need more?

[daring fern]

No, remove the lovely.toml file.

[tranquil axle]

okay

[daring fern]

I think you're trying to load the file before SMODS.Atlas exists.

[tranquil axle]

oh dang that was it

holy cow thank you

time to develop my overpowered spectral card

[real night]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "universal_joker",
    config = { extra = { h_mult = 1 } },
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 10,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    atlas = "placeholders",
    demicoloncompat = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                number_format(card.ability.extra.h_mult),
            },
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play or context.forcetrigger then
            return {
                G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].mult = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].mult + card.ability.extra_h_mult
            }
        end
    end,
}

why isnt this working

[idle plaza]

What exactly is the error/issue?

[tranquil axle]

hrrrmmmm

why no texture

eh I can prob figure it out

[real night]

the part where the mult to the hand is added
