Makes me think I should add boss blinds to my mod once I figure out the health mechanic (rahhh i hate ui)

[shell timber]

that seems like a balanced nonshowdown crimson heart, yeah

[scarlet imp]

right there with ya

[shell timber]

maybe change it to "must submit" instead of just "submit"

[thorn furnace]

aside from UI this should be the last thing I need to get the mechanic working tho

[chrome widget]

The only reason I left it as just "submit" is because it allows you to play if you don't have any jokers

Technically you can also sell all your jokers and it'll let you play, since it can't gate you if you have no jokers to submit

[bitter portal]

When do i put my config vars in extra?

[scarlet imp]

I try to do it all the time, but it doesn't really matter where at the end of the day

[bitter portal]

what is console yapping about

is there something wrong with my enhancement

[daring fern]

You have returned a non-nil value in context.repetition

[daring fern]

You need a context check.

[bitter portal]

also it keeps upgrading when played, its not supposed to

[bitter portal]

but... i have 4 😭

or do you mean for the return

[daring fern]

Yes.

[azure valley]

Essentially, you're returning an empty table, which is not nil

[bitter portal]

i see

that makes sense

so it should look like this?

[azure valley]

that works

well, ok, so you might take the second if tho

[bitter portal]

ooh right

[azure valley]

because context.repetition is added to the context

you might want to add and not context.repetition

[hybrid shadow]

tomorrow i will check if add_to_deck functions work for consumables

[bitter portal]

also realised i would end up skipping the second if with my change, hopefully this will work?

[azure valley]

honestly, I'd probably get rid of the ret variable altogether, there's no reason why both if statements need to share it.

[bitter portal]

true

[azure valley]

if context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea == G.play then
  card.ability yada yada
  return { message = "Upgrade!", colour = HEX("A681FF") }
end

[bitter portal]

ye ye, ik

now i need to figure out why it's upgrading when being played (its only supposed to do that in hand)

unless these changes fixed it

[azure valley]

you have context.cardarea == G.play ?

change to G.hand

[bitter portal]

ah whoops 😭

my brain did not brain

good catch, thank you

[azure valley]

[pale holly]

poker hands with enhancements can be amusing to code

[bitter portal]

uh wait wtf the mult isnt working

oh

i see why

[chrome widget]

wh

why does the low contrast card art have a suight gradient to it

[daring fern]

‎

[flat mist]

I have some cool combo and we'll balanced ideas for jokers and spectral cards. If some Wana add them to there mod then I can share these ideas (don't need any credits or something). Just let me play these ideas once they finished.

[chrome widget]

Another cool blind

[vague crest]

usually dont post too much about the art of my mod here bc im in more of an art focused community than a coding one so it goes there instead but im really happy with how this deck turned out it was really intimidating

[flat mist]

I have some cool combo and we'll balanced ideas for jokers and spectral cards. If some Wana add them to there mod then I can share these ideas (don't need any credits or something). Just let me play these ideas once they finished.

[pearl jacinth]

how do i return a drawn card to the deck

if it's even possible

[pastel kernel]

@vast bough very few options to modify game variables like “joker slots”

[bitter portal]

oh does {T:classprefix_modprefix_key} not work with seals?

[unborn bay]

iirc it works with centers placed in P_CENTERS

which is not the case for seals

[runic pecan]

Does context.full_hand include debuffed card?
Do I need if ... and not v.debuffed then under for _,v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do?

[red flower]

yes

[hidden sable]

my love for vanilla would never allow me to

[pale holly]

fair tbh

[merry frost]

Does anybody know how to get Vouchers to show up properly in loc_vars' info_queue?

Here's my current code. Note that add_loc_vars is a method I wrote that adds onto loc_vars, injecting the table it returns into { vars = ... }

I have been able to get Tarots to work properly like so: table.insert(info_queue, G.P_CENTERS['c_star']), I just don't know what to do for Vouchers.

[hearty crane]

retextured wild card

[red flower]

did you try the same for vouchers?

[merry frost]

Oh wow. That actually worked. I seriously wasn't anticipating that, because I thought vouchers were a wholly separate class

What about blinds though? There's a nasty one: THE WHEEL, which crashes because it doesn't have access to vars.

Oh.

It also works the same.

Wow.

G.P_CENTERS saved my ass.

[floral narwhal]

When i assert it game crashes and says:assertion failed!

[daring fern]

Assert what?

[floral narwhal]

assert this func

[daring fern]

Yes, HAce isn't a valid rank.

[daring fern]

Yes, it would be modprefix_HAce

[floral narwhal]

lemme try it

[royal ridge]

that would be G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[floral narwhal]

thanks it works

[foggy quiver]

hello gng, this is my first time coding game files and making mods, how do I make a file for my mod that I can share with other people

[red flower]

check the pinned post in #⚙・modding-general

[foggy quiver]

Aright thx

[bitter portal]

uhh how can i make the description text update live to the current mult

[red flower]

you need a main_end with a text node using ref_table and ref_value

i just realized i wrote that in the most obtuse way

but im on my phone so its the best i can do to explain :3

[merry frost]

Wait, no, nevermind, I was wrong. G.P_CENTERS causes the blind info to disappear. Still in need of help, thanks!

[unborn bay]

blinds are not supported because blinds are not located in P_CENTERS

they're in their own block

[merry frost]

Ok, so either I have to brute force make infoboxes for blinds or avoid The Wheel at all costs?

[red flower]

does P_BLINDS not work?

also i think wheel is hardcoded to 1 in 7

so you can just put that in

[merry frost]

P_BLINDS definitely does not work. It returns empty infoboxes that say ERROR

[thorn furnace]

bump

[limber blaze]

current score as in chips earned this blind so far excluding what the current hand will earn?

[thorn furnace]

chips earned this blind so far

[limber blaze]

iirc G.GAME.chips

let me check

[thorn furnace]

okii

[limber blaze]

yes G.GAME.chips

[thorn furnace]

thanks

now all I have left is UI stuff (pain)

[keen tiger]

whats the llm policy for balatro code?

i want to convert the translation code to rust for my project and was thinking of speeding it up by just letting an llm do the conversion (its pretty good for doing quickndirty language conversions). is that okay? i can also just run an open-source llm locally to do this so the code isn't sent anywhere

[red flower]

I don't think there's one stated but I would keep it local if you're sending it game code

[thorn furnace]

don't think I've come across this error before

[red flower]

the : in the first line is wrong

also if you have : you shouldnt have self

[thorn furnace]

o

[red flower]

(in the return is fine)

[thorn furnace]

Do I just use . instead of : for both

[red flower]

Game:start_run = function might not work with the :
it would need to be function Game:start_run i think

[thorn furnace]

o

[red flower]

you can also have . and add self back

[thorn furnace]

okii

[craggy heron]

hey all, i'm looking to make a mod that makes cards like Rebate, Ancient, Castle ect have a legendary-style overlay to show what is currenlty being buffed, I have had little success so far with my limited knowledge of programming in general and mostly using chatgpt to help me out. So far I have had success in adding the soul overlay to a joker but am not able to get it to update at all, any suggestions for where to go from here?

[thorn furnace]

Suddenly everything that was working just fine before is now breaking

[red flower]

GAME doesnt exist on loading files

and hud might not exist wherever youre calling the function

[thorn furnace]

O
It worked yesterday

tho now it just crashes whenever i try to set that value

[lofty sand]

does anyone know a way to add a copied card directly into the scoring hand? for instance, if DNA copied a card during the before scoring step, instead of being added to the players held hand, it would be added directly into the scoring hand?

[craggy heron]

i've been able to get the soul_pos overlay working, it just doesnt ever update to match the rebate buffed rank

[red flower]

you can add a card to G.play but I think you would need to patch stuff into the calculation pipeline to make it score

iirc i think talisman checks the playing hand multiple times

[craggy heron]

i might be wrong but my understanding is that the soul_pos overlay is a shader and so should be able to be updated dynamically

[red flower]

it's not, it's a sprite

[craggy heron]

i see, would what i'm trying to achieve be easier with shaders? is that even possible?

[lofty sand]

I'll give that a shot

thanks :)

[red flower]

nah, I think changing the sprite is probably easier, I just don't have what the syntax would be rn
some thing like card.children.soul_sprite:set_sprite_pos()

[craggy heron]

amazing thanks, will give that a try

[red flower]

im pretty sure card.children.soul_sprite doesnt exist tho i dont remember what the name was exactly

[lofty sand]

yeah, this worked but like you said it doesn't actually score. I do have talisman installed as well, I don't think it's re-checking the played hand.

I'll try and figure smth out, thanks again :)

[red flower]

also make sure you're adding it immediately and not in an event

or it will just add it visually

[lofty sand]

wb the copy_card:start_materialize() event?

[red flower]

that ones fine probably

[bold gyro]

is there a context/way to check if cards are drawn specifically after a hand has been played?

[red flower]

context.hand_drawn

you might need to add G.GAME.current_round.hands_played ~= 0

[craggy heron]

all of a sudden my lovely window is just showing INFO - [G] nil nil endlessly, have i accidentally enabled something?

[bold gyro]

i'd like it to not happen after discards

[red flower]

did you add a print anywhere?

[craggy heron]

yeah i added a couple of debug prints to try and figure out if the joker is updating at all

[red flower]

ohh then idk

probably a flag on context.pre_discard might work

[craggy heron]

yeah it was that debug print that was doing it after all, how silly

[thorn furnace]

HUD would be a nil value here...?

[red flower]

yes, the hud is made when the function returns

[thorn furnace]

oh

how would I go about that then

[red flower]

you can run it after GAME:Start_run instead of before?

or patch it there

[flat mist]

I have some cool combo and we'll balanced ideas for jokers and spectral cards. If some Wana add them to there mod then I can share these ideas (don't need any credits or something). Just let me play these ideas once they finished.

[thorn furnace]

oki
Lemme try

I don't remember what I was doing before everything just started not working for no reason despite not touching it

[neon mist]

Do you guys know how to make the joker wiggle when it gets trigger?

[red flower]

thats UI

[red flower]

most returns in calculate do it automatically
but card:juice_up()

[bold sleet]

help. balatro is for some reason not loading SMODS.Language

[neon mist]

ty!! 🙏

[craggy heron]

is mail in rebate referred to as j_mail or mail_card? how would i find this out for sure?

[bold sleet]

mayb?

[red flower]

en-us?

[neon mist]

whats the normal values for the scale and rot amount though?

[red flower]

leaving them empty

[neon mist]

okie dokie

thxalot

[red flower]

either look in game.lua, the localization file or here https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua

(its j_mail)

[bold sleet]

chat I may be stupid

still not worky

[red flower]

dunno then

[bold sleet]

It gets fixed temporarely when I change the key

help

nope, it's not working

[neon mist]

what about juicing up for cards like walkie talkie?

the one that wiggle every time a certain card is played

[red flower]

if you use calculate correctly it should do it for you

[long sun]

is there a context for when any Joker's add_to_deck or remove_from_deck is called?

[primal robin]

No way salty ghost pfp updates comes more often that I do my mods updates

[red flower]

context.card_added for the first

[long sun]

hehe, i'm getting attacked a lot this year ^u^

[red flower]

i dont think so for the second, you would need to check being sold/destroyed individually

[faint yacht]

Without context... that sounds wild. 😂

[long sun]

oh wait it's not updating for me ;u; lemme fix that

grand, thanks ^U^

[long sun]

what's the context for a Joker being destroyed?

[red flower]

In the next SMODS release, context.joker_type_destroyed iirc

[long sun]

also, is there a way of detecting if a Joker gains an edition?

rightright

mm, this is. too open-ended for my liking ;u; i'll omit it and come back to it

(deck ability: +1 Joker Slot per Holographic or Polychrome Joker)

[red flower]

hooking set edition

[long sun]

gotchagotcha

[red flower]

yeah anything that requires modifying any slots or values dynamically at all times is a pain

[craggy heron]

i got the blueprint mod and it makes blueprint and brainstorm dynamically change sprite based on which joker they're copying, how is it achieving that so smoothly? I cannot for the life of me figure out what i'm doing wrong

[thorn furnace]

Managed to get pretty much everything working except this and some of the weird UI stuff Im not sure how to word
would this not be how it would work

(ignore ALLOY.health on line 53 it's supposed to be G.GAME.health i grabbed the wrong screenshot)

[red flower]

i mean if it doesnt work then probably not lol

i never tried returning anything in a calculate_context hook you might need a dummy object

[thorn furnace]

In the definition it seems to return a table of something
Somewhere I guess

You mean a dummy object like I do like

local obj = calculate_context(self, context, return_table)
return obj

Or smth?

[red flower]

no i mean making a hidden joker

[red flower]

sometimes i returns it and sometimes it adds it to return_table i think im not sure how it works
the return is not the same as a joker tho

[thorn furnace]

I thought this was gonna be a pretty simple mechanic when I started trying to make it

In my mind it's just
You start with 100 HP
If you lose a blind, subtract the percentage of difference between your blind score and the required score from your health
If your health reaches 0 or below, you lose

Tho i guess it does involve basically rewriting the entirety of the lose mechanic so it's not really that simple

[red flower]

i will be adding hp to my mod someday too :3

[thorn furnace]

:3
Theoretically how would I make that hidden joker in the meantime
Just to make it go by easier

[neon mist]

am i doing calculate wrong? why my jokers aint juicing up

even if i put it in it only does once

[red flower]

making a cardarea that has that joker and adding it to the calculation pipeline
i would ask Ice who was talking about doing that recently, I've never really done it

[red flower]

what if you remove the card = line? also what does it do in general

[thorn furnace]

[wooden nexus]

So I don't know why this is happening but my badge color is blue

I didn't even define a color yet (because idk where that would even be)

[neon mist]

yoooooo now it works

ty so much

finally

[thorn furnace]

@hushed field please give me your wisdom 🙏

[chrome widget]

Hmmmmmmmm I'm trying to decide what to do art-wise for an equivalent blind that prevents cards from scoring their base chips without debuffing them. Because unlike the no-suit blind, I can't just obscure the number or all indication of the number of the rank, since that's used for hand type detection

[hushed field]

there's some particularities with it that are kinda wonky, or I'm forgetting a step, but I'm currently literally just setting up a card area off screen and putting an endless joker called 'handler' in there, haha

[thorn furnace]

o

Does CardArea have any documentation
I barely got by making one

[hushed field]

the handler joker itself is literally just a joker. I've just made sure it's not retriggerable or blueprintable, just to be sure, and that it's not in_pool and not in the collection

[thorn furnace]

hmm

[hushed field]

my code for the cardarea is this. I don't do anything besides setting this up in a hook of Game:start_run

[thorn furnace]

Oh
That actually doesn't seem too bad

How would one make the joker be not in the collection

[thorn furnace]

no_doe?

[hushed field]

that's to make sure cryptid doesn't mess this up

no clue why they don't just use no_collection for that, but that might be due to age, or something

[thorn furnace]

fair enough

thank uuu :3

[wooden nexus]

does SMODS Center:extend have a badge color function?

[chrome widget]

It doesn't specifically do badge color, but it has a function for setting the badge of the card type

And then there's a further set_badges function to add additional badges

[wooden nexus]

i dunno what part of the code did this but i just want it off this blinding blue

[gusty iron]

OH MY GOD MY JOKER DOES SOMETHING UNINTENDED BUT ITS SO FUNNY SO IM KEEPING IT IN

IF YOU HAVE 2 OF IT, IT JUST CLOSES YOUR GAME

IT DOESNT EVEN CRASH

IT JUST FUCKING CLOSES 😭

[thorn furnace]

sounds like a stack overflow

[gusty iron]

i'm keeping it in

its so funny

[chrome widget]

Is this your mod badge?

[gusty iron]

added a warning 🔥

[serene granite]

The first version of my mod is complete, any information on how to get it on the balatro mod manager?

[wooden nexus]

no

I disabled the modbadge

[chrome widget]

Then what it is?

[wooden nexus]

It's a badge similar to a consumable's

[chrome widget]

A rarity?

[wooden nexus]

no

[chrome widget]

Oh so it's a type badge

[wooden nexus]

yes

it should be, Mathguy let me use their contracts mod as a baseline to make this but idk what he did to get it looking like that (and when I asked, they have no idea either)

[chrome widget]

You set the color of consumable types when you declare them using SMODS.ConsumableType

They have a primary_colour and secondary_colour property and I believe those are used for the badges

[thorn furnace]

Just confirming but it's supposed to look like this right? It doesn't seem to trigger the joker for some reason (tho the joker works fine if I summon it in like G.jokers or smth)
(Sorry for pinging and pestering u i dont kno who else to ask :<)

[paper zealot]

Submit it to the mod index

[wooden nexus]

i'm not using smods.consumable type though

Since it's not a consumable

[chrome widget]

Oh then I can't help you. You'd probably be better suited asking the original author to help you look

[wooden nexus]

Mathguy won't help

[brittle tide]

how do I make it so a joker only retriggers these 4 specific jokers

[tawdry oriole]

how do you see what the current ante is?

[modern kindle]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante iirc

[maiden phoenix]

You want to remove the badge entierly? Also what kind of object is it

[tepid coral]

Is there a way to make add_caed only give cards which have been unlocked? Because I am trying to make a deck that gives you a random legendary joker out of the ones you have discovered

[red flower]

i dont think so, you would need to filter them yourself

[tepid coral]

Ok thank you

[modern kindle]

Hi N

[red flower]

hewwo

[modern kindle]

How are you my friend

[red flower]

i am at the office so BAD

wbu

[modern kindle]

Eh
I haven't been sleeping well lately :(

[red flower]

damn..

[modern kindle]

Its okay though...I will find a way to explode soon and then I will sleepy weepy

[red flower]

lets find it together

[modern kindle]

Thats so romantic

[humble matrix]

is there a way to make a joker modify the size of a blind directly? like not just multiply it like add a specific value to the blind size

[red flower]

yes

(gimme a sec to get the syntax)

[humble matrix]

🤑

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips + value
G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[pure salmon]

can i set a custom message for context.debuff_hand for when you have a hand selected

for a joker, not a blind

[errant arrow]

local possible_jokers = {"j_rose_placeholderrose", "j_rose_placeholderrose2"} -- add more keys as needed
local random_key = possible_jokers[math.random(#possible_jokers)]
SMODS.add_card({key = random_key})

this code is supposed to create a random joker from the list, but it only makes the j_rose_placeholderrose

[thorn furnace]

is this a thing in CardArea i would need to modify so that the joker triggers when held there

[red flower]

you need to patch it into the smods calculation

[thorn furnace]

pseudorandom_element should be used here I think

[red flower]

like this https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/lovely/zones.toml#L104

[thorn furnace]

thanks

[errant arrow]

psuedorandom should replace math.random?

[red flower]

return debuff_text

[red flower]

local possible_jokers = {"j_rose_placeholderrose", "j_rose_placeholderrose2"} -- add more keys as needed
local random_key = pseudorandom_element(possible_jokers, "seed")
SMODS.add_card({key = random_key})

[errant arrow]

that worked, thank you

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to change the sell value of a card?

[red flower]

change card.sell_cost BUT if :set_cost is called on the card it will reset

if you dont want that either use card.ability.extra_value or hook :set_cost

[tawdry oriole]

alrighty thanks

[thorn furnace]

The HP mechanic finally workssss
Now I just have to solve the janky UI appearance

I don't suppose it would work to have there be a child node of a text node

[red flower]

is this about the text centering thing?

[thorn furnace]

well for this
Essentially two things
The first is that the "20" should be in the center
and the second is that the width of the red thing should scale with the HP to fill the bar

[red flower]

you could try adding offset = { x = number, y = number } to the text but idk if thats the best solution

[thorn furnace]

theoretically I could do some left alignment if it was a child of the text node and that would be fine

[thorn furnace]

true
It would be half of the max length minus the current length i think
maybe

[normal dune]

how can i put a random edition on the last card triggered

[thorn furnace]

i guess it uses a different system

[tawdry oriole]

what i'm gonna ask might be way too much but is there a way to implement a new font?

[red flower]

yes!

using aiko's SMODS.Font

[tawdry oriole]

oh hell yeah

[red flower]

(documentation pending)

[tawdry oriole]

that's really cool

the invention of SMODS might be the third most important thing in the universe after fire and balatro

[red flower]

this is how i do it https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/card_ui.lua#L3
then i use {f:joy_font}

[rotund sable]

soon™

[tawdry oriole]

and the font files go in assets/fonts?

yes they do

alright thanks a lot 🙏

[humble matrix]

...tried to add a new rarity and
it no work :(, game crashes when i hover over the joker i gave the rarity to

[red flower]

whats the crash

localization might need the prefix too

[red flower]

what if you add

pools = {
    ["Joker"] = true
}

[humble matrix]

still crashes

same error as last time i think

[unborn bay]

colors shouldn't be strings

[red flower]

oh what if you remove the badge colour

yeah

[unborn bay]

if you wanna use a hex code wrap it around HEX()

[humble matrix]

thats prob it

yeah it works

[sonic cedar]

do you guys think this will work

[red flower]

yes because i believe in you

(i havent read it)

[sonic cedar]

ill take it here we fuckign go

wait
push first in case something goes wrong

ok now

why are you there stop that

buffoon didnt crash

standard im begging you

WHAT MORE

[sturdy compass]

😭

[sonic cedar]

something about pools??

i dont even have the guy that fucks with them how

also hi astra

[sturdy compass]

Hi toma

I PR’d my timing handler for probability results to smods yesterday

[sonic cedar]

you wanna throw my cornflakes into oncoming traffic while youre at it

[sturdy compass]

Fish food for the cars

[sonic cedar]

that's fish flakes

this is corn food

[sturdy compass]

They are close enough

[sonic cedar]

true

[sturdy compass]

Cars would eat oversized fish flakes (aka corn flakes)

I said that with purpose goddammit

[sonic cedar]

goodness

alright fair

as for a modding question
astra have you

added a button to a card before

[sturdy compass]

Kind of but also not really

[sonic cedar]

how kind of is kind of

[sturdy compass]

For Horoscope cards I changed their pack buttons to Select instead of Use, but now there’s API for doing that and I forgort how I did it in the first place

[sonic cedar]

i see

[red flower]

just delete everything and copy how i did it :3

[sonic cedar]

n i dont

know how you did it

[red flower]

do u mean u dont read the joyousspring code every day

[sonic cedar]

im busy reading the hyperfixation code every minute

[red flower]

here btw https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/general_ui.lua#L117

but i just replace the entire thing

theres the code for boosters there too

[sonic cedar]

oh wow

does it
add your mod badge to them

[red flower]

no

[sonic cedar]

do you have any idea why it does that at all

[red flower]

i dont know how your method would tbh

that sounds like a different problem

[sonic cedar]

oh god

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to change the loc_txt of a joker in the add_to_deck function?

[red flower]

do you take ownership of them

[red flower]

not really, but you can change the description using a key to a localization key in loc_vars

[sonic cedar]

only by kind

[red flower]

did you disable the badge there

[tawdry oriole]

right, kinda forgot about that 😭

[sonic cedar]

did not know that was a thing so no
is it the same var

[chrome widget]

wait what are you doing to it now

[red flower]

i think you add , true at the end

[sonic cedar]

trying to get it to stop crashing packs

also hi

[sonic cedar]

oh youve gotta be kidding me

i did that with the other ones too am i just stupid

[red flower]

no youre very intelligent

[sonic cedar]

oh right it was 4 am

youre right

[chrome widget]

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sonic cedar]

trying to make it so the button only tries to ui itself when the card is a joker in the joker area that you own and is not ijiraq and is also rarity 4

[sonic cedar]

_ _

[chrome widget]

Hmm okay yeah use_and_sell_buttons has an early return for pack cards

[sonic cedar]

currently setting up the n method which works because it's n

[chrome widget]

though honestly I think you should just change the card.area.config.type == 'joker' to card.area == G.jokers because the G.pack_cards area can be 'joker' type but G.jokers is the only area you really want it to be valid in

[red flower]

i would just try the other one if you were already doing it

i would love a button API

[sonic cedar]

couldve sworn there was a conversation about just that

[red flower]

i would use it if it makes buttons work with a controller

i cant figure that out

or anything to do with playing with a controller

[sonic cedar]

are we fucking serious

[primal robin]

Controller thing kinda complicated

tl:dr you can't have option cycles in a row at all, because in this case they're basically unusable on controller

[red flower]

my mod is not playable with a controller because the summoning overlay just doesn't work

and cards that have multiple buttons dont work either

[sonic cedar]

I’ll try this and if it doesn’t work I’ll try n’s

good thing it’s a laptop and not a pc because if something happened to my code

[primal robin]

Tat's why when controller is used I should adjust menu to looks like this. Looks not great but at least usable

[gaunt thistle]

have any of you experienced errors like this: #1209564621644505158 message ?

[sonic cedar]

with what you see or with-- the power just went out

oh power's back lovely

[chrome widget]

no lovely's the code injector

[sonic cedar]

oh right

[red flower]

i think ive seen other people with the same one before with cryptid
i would try checking on the cryptid server

[primal robin]

Even now on latest steamodded present an issue with deck spawning on top part of screen first

[thorn furnace]

Getting a strange error ever since implementing that new cardarea

happens when I hit new game like 50% of the time

[red flower]

do you have what that smods line is

[red flower]

is this the lovely dump

[thorn furnace]

oh lemme grab the lovely dump rq

oh

[hidden sable]

giggle

[thorn furnace]

two lines up

mb

the for _, _card in ipairs(area.cards) do line

[red flower]

yeah i think it does something weird when starting/ending a run with extra cardareas

[gaunt thistle]

gotcha

I've been looking around and haven't seen much

[thorn furnace]

weird

[gaunt thistle]

also do you guys have any serious wants for this lovely debugger thing I'm working on?

eg. things that really suck about working with patches that could be improved by tooling

[red flower]

i read about it on the lovely discord but im stupid so idk what it would be for :3

[red flower]

i had to do this
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/effects.lua#L7

[gaunt thistle]

basically a debug ui. it would hook up to lovely running in the game and allow you to step through patch application with a before / after diff

and some other general dev tools

[thorn furnace]

oh
I mean I'm hooking it anyway

thank uuu :3

[red flower]

oh that sounds cool

[thorn furnace]

I'm starting to grow less bothered by the off-center text for the health thing
But changing the width is a must

is there a good way to change the width of a UI node dynamically
nothing I've tried has done much

(tho I think once that's done I'll release the mod and then do anything else after)

[red flower]

oh bepis did a progress bar

you can ask him

[thorn furnace]

👀

[red flower]

it's a PR on smods too

[thorn furnace]

@manic rune meowwww

i ask for thine wisdom 🙏

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/614

[thorn furnace]

oh it's a function and everything

thank u :3

[red flower]

honestly if this gets merged some day i might do a mechanic with it in my mod

[thorn furnace]

Yea

[sonic cedar]

alright everything’s still up after this long it should be safe for me to do stuff again

[brittle yacht]

js asking, would anybody be able to teach me how to mod balatro sometime? js to add some simple jokers and editions and stuff

[daring fern]

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

[wintry solar]

Oh snap I didn’t realise the progress bar was a smods pr

I have completely missed that 🥲

[red flower]

poor bepis

[thorn furnace]

i think i messed something up lemme recheck my code

ah i forgot to divide by 100

:3

[snow vale]

i LOVE typos

[thorn furnace]

abiliy

[brittle yacht]

yo thx

[thorn furnace]

that's a new one

Actually in hindsight i wonder if I literally just needed to activate that one boolean

Instead of writing 60 lines of code

[snow vale]

why is it still scoring after the cards were destroyed?

what would i need to do to avoid that?

also wth

[daring fern]

Use context.destroy_card

[snow vale]

right

[sonic cedar]

did this

mod badge is now gone

works fine on:
Buffoon
Celestial
Arcana

ipairs crash on Standard Pack

[chrome widget]

What does the crash log point to?

[sonic cedar]

sorry i was handling a matter uhhhhhhh

[sonic cedar]

like the line? or

[chrome widget]

Yeah that crash points to a vanilla file

[sonic cedar]

oh ik i just wanted to make sure you meaent the line

ill grab

(ive seen this crash before unfortunately)

[sonic cedar]

#💻・modding-dev message

[chrome widget]

Well Rarities are pools so it probably has smth to do with that

Nothing in this code speaks out to what casued the error. Further down in the crash log might tell you what's doing it

[brave blade]

What values am I supposed to return for context.check_enhancement?

[daring fern]

{m_modprefix_key = true}

[brave blade]

And if it's a vanilla enhancement, would it just be something like {m_gold = true}?

[sonic cedar]

well it looks like something with create_card in utils

[daring fern]

Yes.

[brave blade]

Alright, then something else must be the problem

[daring fern]

Is the game hard crashing or is it just not doing anything?

[brave blade]

It's not doing anything

[daring fern]

Code?

[brave blade]

Hold on a second

[chrome widget]

Does it crash when you hit the button?

Or does it crash before that?

[sonic cedar]

crashes right when the cards would show up

wait i have ram now i can just show you

[chrome widget]

I have reason to believe you've misspelled the rarity or forgot to put your mod prefix ahead of it

[brave blade]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.check_enhancement then
        if context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_gold" then
            return {
                m_steel = true
            }
        elseif context.other_card.config.center.key == "m_steel" then
            return {
                m_gold = true
            }
        end
    end
end

[daring fern]

Do you have quantum enhancements enabled?

[brave blade]

Oh, you have to enable them? How do I do that?

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.optional_features = function()
    return {
        quantum_enhancements = true
    }
end

[chrome widget]

Im still missing context. Did you want to change stuff about playing cards?

[sonic cedar]

it shouldnt even be messing with the boosters

[chrome widget]

and you're absolutely certain this is related to what you just did rather than a problem that could've existed for some time before?

[brave blade]

Thank you :)

[sonic cedar]

ive only done 2 things with standard packs

1. a function i made to mess with weights of packs, this instance only applying within a joker's add_to_deck

2. an ownership of them that should only apply while in possession of a different joker

[chrome widget]

'Standard' is not a valid set/pool key for playing cards

It's 'Base' or just 'Playing Card' to randomly choose between base or enhanced

[sonic cedar]

if stickers were enabled

curse you 4 am code

[chrome widget]

also I would recommend making the append key for the default behavior 'sta' because that's the vanilla key and it would prevent compatibility breaks

[sonic cedar]

got it

does that apply for every pack or

like is spectral spe

[red flower]

each is different yeah

[sonic cedar]

went off the vremade voucher cause it used the 1 2 thing

did not put together that vremade is vremade

[chrome widget]

Typically if there's some kind of alternate behavior vanilla keys them differently except for Telescope celestial packs which uses 'pl1' just like the regular behavior

[modern kindle]

👋

[chrome widget]

Hi dilly

[modern kindle]

i see smart people in chat

[sonic cedar]

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

how is everyone

[chrome widget]

drawing cards

[sonic cedar]

coding buttons

[modern kindle]

draw me next and put me in your mod

[modern kindle]

button me next and put me in your mod

also hi smt i hope you are well

[sonic cedar]

id rather die and it is not your fault

[modern kindle]

D:

[sonic cedar]

where can i even see the vanilla append keys

[chrome widget]

either in the SMODS game_object.lua file since all packs have been taken ownership of, or in vanilla Card:open()

[sonic cedar]

oh youve gotta be kidding me

[foggy ginkgo]

I want to replace the " self.ability.set == "Enhanced" " part to a certain suit, how do I do that

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[foggy ginkgo]

To have spades not be debuffed

[faint yacht]

self.base.suit?

self:is_suit('Spades')

[foggy ginkgo]

It worked

Thanks mate

[chrome widget]

@modern kindle check out my no suits atlas

[foggy ginkgo]

I don't know code lmao

[foggy ginkgo]

This shit looks clean as hell

[daring fern]

Then why are you patching? Because SMODS has a function for this.

[modern kindle]

thanks for the free atlas pal

(looks awesome)

[foggy ginkgo]

What's the function

I was looking at other mods codes (Extra Credit) and saw how they made certain cards not debuffed

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff

[foggy ginkgo]

Welp

[daring fern]

In your case it would be something like: ```lua
SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff = function(card)
if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) and card.playing_card and card:is_suit("Spades") then
return "prevent_debuff"
end
end

[foggy ginkgo]

Wellpppppp

[sonic cedar]

which do standard packs normally use (guessing the latter)

[foggy ginkgo]

Got it working with Lovely.toml so oh well-

Thank you tho

[daring fern]

No, they use create_card((pseudorandom(pseudoseed('stdset'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante)) > 0.6) and "Enhanced" or "Base", G.pack_cards, nil, nil, nil, true, nil, 'sta')

[chrome widget]

Standard packs select their set before returning the card table yeah

[red flower]

I would recommend if you're taking ownership to use the same code just in case

[sonic cedar]

i didnt know i wasnt until now

[red flower]

I do not recommend using vanillaremade as a basis for take ownership

it changes a lot of stuff to make it simpler and also i make mistakes :3

[unborn bay]

n would never make mistakes

[sonic cedar]

setting the created card's append to ar3 instead of ar2 in case of omen globe

[maiden phoenix]

Wtf N makes mistakes? No.....

[foggy ginkgo]

Yay this works

Thanks my goat

Idk where to find these functions so

[red flower]

every time i have helped anybody here i made one mistake, eventually the combination of all mistakes will create a computer virus that installs joyousspring

[daring fern]

Some of them are here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions, but most of them aren't.

[maiden phoenix]

Oh yea? Well I've turned the VanillaRemade link into an affiliate link for my own benefits 😈

[foggy ginkgo]

Holy shit

I should actually read things

[brave blade]

How do I make my Joker's description have an info card like this?

[maiden phoenix]

In your loc_vars function you add to your info_queue

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_steel

[brave blade]

Aha, thanks!

[foggy ginkgo]

My very duct taped wrapped joker

[maiden phoenix]

I wonder if it would look better with multiboxes

[foggy ginkgo]

True

[wintry solar]

In my very biased opinion it absolutely would

[maiden phoenix]

Ofc the multibox porter would agree

[foggy ginkgo]

Here's the code cause yes ```lua
SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff = function(card)
if next(SMODS.find_card("j_inc_incognito_joker")) and card.playing_card and card:is_suit("Spades") then
return "prevent_debuff"
end
end

SMODS.Joker{ -- Incognito
name = "Incognito",
key = "incognito_joker",
blueprint_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
atlas = 'incognitojokers',
rarity = 4,
cost = 20,
pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
soul_pos = {x = 1, y = 0},
config = { extra = { xmult = 1, odds = 7 } },

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, (G.GAME and G.GAME.probabilities.normal or 1), card.ability.extra.odds } }
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.destroy_card and context.destroy_card.should_destroy and not context.blueprint then
        return { remove = true }
    end
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint and
        pseudorandom('j_inc_incognito_joker') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal / card.ability.extra.odds then
        if not (context.other_card:is_suit("Spades")) then
            context.other_card.should_destroy = true
            card.ability.extra.xmult = (card.ability.extra.xmult) + 0.5
            return { message = "YUM MULT!", colour = G.C.BLACK }
        end
    end
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round then
        if context.other_card:is_suit("Spades") then
            card_eval_status_text(context.blueprint_card or card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = "71!", colour = G.C.BLACK})
            return { xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult }
        end
    end
end

}

Very duct taped

[foggy ginkgo]

Idk how to do this tho

I assume it's a localization thing cause I did that

[maiden phoenix]

Basically you put your text in multiple table, each table is a box

your_joker = {
name = "joker",
text = {{"box1"},{"box2"}}

(You can ofc multiline in each box)

[sonic cedar]

pain

oh my god i have to do that three more times

[maiden phoenix]

Why not use a lovely patch?

[sonic cedar]

i'm stubborn

unrelated note why does this keep going yellow

well i know WHY cause it tells you (redundant parameter)

but i cant find WHERE and every time i think ive solved it i come back later to it yellow again

[normal crest]

can't you patch the SMODS.four_fingers function for that

not patch, hook

[foggy ginkgo]

Took awhile but my goat 🙏

[sonic cedar]

"cant you hook the SMODS.four_f-" was i just supposed to know there was a four_fingers function /lh

[maiden phoenix]

Nice

[normal crest]

true, I don't think it's documented, but it's this one

[sonic cedar]

are we fr

[maiden phoenix]

Say it with me people

I love undocumented stuff

[normal crest]

there is one for showman, four fingers, shortcut and "wrap_around_straight"

which is always false apparently

[sonic cedar]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[maiden phoenix]

Prob to allow for a center object to make it true

[sonic cedar]

thank you srock

[normal crest]

np tomatose

[sonic cedar]

i update these credits daily at this point curse you 4 am coding

[sonic cedar]

can i just set this up in overrides like this and itll hook

example

[normal crest]

no, you'll be overriding it completely like that

removing the functionality of the four fingers joker for example

if that's what you want sure

[sonic cedar]

local variable thing it is

[sonic cedar]

better?

unless i need a param? i dont see one

[wintry solar]

Replace the 5 with the bcofcthereis call

[sonic cedar]

hi eremel
do i not need 5 returned at all then

[wintry solar]

Well the original function will return the 5 (or 4 if you have four fingers)

If you don’t return that result you’re ignoring four fingers

[sonic cedar]

oh true i guess it does do that already

so when were these added are they new

[wintry solar]

They’re not bleeding edge new

But they’re also pretty niche

[sonic cedar]

i seee

[wintry solar]

I have no idea where they’d fit on the wiki though

[sonic cedar]

wait how the heck would the others format

cause showman and shortcut returning numbers doesnt sound right

normally I’d just look but I didn’t even know they existed until a few minutes ago

plus they don’t seem return a search result in the dump? Function formatting wise at least, cause I see the showman one get used a few times

[sonic cedar]

Niche Functions tab maybe?

though I don’t know if there’s enough to warrant their own tab

[modern kindle]

i feel like if theres something that doesnt warrant its own tab it can just go in an 'other' tab with other things that are in a similar vein

[sonic cedar]

I mean yeah thats obvious enough
I guess mine would be if they want their own tab on the wiki rather than a conglomerate of stuff that doesn’t fit

….which in turn would also have a fit in the wiki

I guess it just comes down to quantity

[wintry solar]

Yeah but I don’t want the other tab to just turn into a list of all the functions because lots and lots of them don’t really fit anywhere

They might end up in calculation maybe

[sonic cedar]

Junk Drawer tab /j

[normal crest]

the dump only includs stuff that was lovely patched, they're in Mods/smods/src/utils.lua near the bottom

to answer your question, the others return booleans, four fingers is the only one that returns a number

[sonic cedar]

ohhh ok

Thanks

[red flower]

i do think the utility tab needs some more categories or something

[wooden nexus]

Hey, so how do I add a sell button>?

[craggy heron]

does anyone know of an existing mod that dynamically updates a joker's sprite based on some value changing during the game? can't figure out how to get my mod to change anything mid-game

[vague crest]

i recommend looking at core switch or cassette block from Celeste Card Collection

[craggy heron]

amazing thanks!

[vague crest]

i have a weird issue with this joker, where if you sell it it works as intended (sort of? the next cards in the shop appear a bit closer together but aside from that it functionally works fine and it fixes itself on leaving the shop) but if you reroll it keeps the extra shop slots for one extra reroll. does anyone have any experience with working on changing the shop dynamically like this?

[sonic cedar]

does anyone know why my game crashes on startup?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[sonic cedar]

👂

[daring fern]

What does your SMODS.four_fingers hook look like?

[daring fern]

Remove the first callings of the functions and move the () to the functions in the returns.

[sonic cedar]

ok got it

fixed! thanks

[quick scarab]

my joker seems to be crashing when it activates

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "s_puppet",
    atlas = 'Joker',
    pos = { x = 4, y = 3 },
    blueprint_compat = false,
    rarity = 3,

    config = { extra = { seal = 'fnaf_guard' } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_SEALS[card.ability.extra.seal]
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_fnaf_kid
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.end_of_round then
            if SMODS.has_enhancement("m_fnaf_kid") then
                if context.other_card.debuff then
                    return {
                        message = localize('k_debuffed'),
                        colour = G.C.RED
                    }
                else
                    conv_card:set_seal(card.ability.extra.seal, nil, true)
                    return true                    
                end
            end
        end
    end,
}```

[daring fern]

Yes, conv_card doesn't exist.

[flat mist]

I have some cool combo and we'll balanced ideas for jokers and spectral cards. If some Wana add them to there mod then I can share these ideas (don't need any credits or something). Just let me play these ideas once they finished.

[quick scarab]

which one should be them?

[quick scarab]

also this joker adds a custom seal to a custom enhanced card when its held in hand at the end of the round

[daring fern]

context.other_card

Also it would be SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_fnaf_kid")

[urban wasp]

why are non-jolly/m jokers not debuffed in this boss blind?

...
    recalc_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
        if (card.area == G.jokers) and not G.GAME.blind.disabled and (card:is_jolly() or (Cryptid.safe_get(card.config.center, "pools", "M"))) then -- since this is a cryptid addon we'll use cryptids function for this
            return false
        end
        if (card.area == G.jokers) and not card.key == "j_chicot" and not card.key == "j_crp_jean_antoine" then
            return true
        end
        return false
    end,
...

[broken tulip]

im doing stuff with deckskins right now, if im using pos_style with a table how can i get it to work with numbered ranks? it works fine if i use ranks which are words but not numbers. like Jack = { atlas = skin_lc, pos = {x = 10, y = 0} } works but 2 = { atlas = skin_lc, pos = {x = 10, y = 0} } doesnt

[daring fern]

It would be and (card.config.center.key ~= "j_chicot" and card.config.center.key ~= "j_crp_jean_antoine")

[urban wasp]

so just like

...
    recalc_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
        if ((card.area == G.jokers)
        and not G.GAME.blind.disabled
        and (card:is_jolly() or (Cryptid.safe_get(card.config.center, "pools", "M"))))
        and (card.config.center.key ~= "j_chicot" and card.config.center.key ~= "j_crp_jean_antoine") then -- since this is a cryptid addon we'll use cryptids function for this
            return false
        end
        return false
    end,
...

[daring fern]

Yes.

[urban wasp]

non-jolly jokers are still fine, it appears

this is the full code

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "monochrome_m",
    name = "Monochrome M",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 8 },
    boss = { min = 2, max = 10, showdown = true },
    atlas = "blind",
    mult = 0.13,
    recalc_debuff = function(self, card, from_blind)
        if ((card.area == G.jokers)
        and not G.GAME.blind.disabled
        and (card:is_jolly() or (Cryptid.safe_get(card.config.center, "pools", "M"))))
        and (card.config.center.key ~= "j_chicot" and card.config.center.key ~= "j_crp_jean_antoine") then -- since this is a cryptid addon we'll use cryptids function for this
            return false
        end
        return false
    end,
    debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
        if not (handname == "Pair") and not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
            G.GAME.blind.triggered = true
            return true
        end
        return false
    end,
    get_loc_debuff_text = function(self) -- we do a little cryptid stealing
        return localize("bl_crp_debuff_monochrome_m")
    end,
    boss_colour = HEX("4f6367"), -- balatro black (*monochrome* m)
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "Unknown" },
        code = { "ScarredOut" }
    }
}

[daring fern]

Have you tried using context.debuff_card instead?

[feral tree]

is there a way to make boss blinds not appear naturally?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[urban wasp]

never used it before; most of this code was from somebody else, as seen from the credits. the only reason i knew this blind wasn't working properly was because of an exattox video 😭

[feral tree]

how?

[subtle merlin]

I'd assume something to do with the function in_pool(self)
-# and a "red x" react in 3... 2... 1...

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end

[chrome widget]

oh yeah I've got a challenge that replaces regular blinds with boss blinds and boss blinds with final boss blinds

I'll have to figure that one out

[merry frost]

Speaking of which, I have a very similar problem! My mod has the ability to replace small and big blinds with boss blinds, but when I beat a boss blind that has replaced a small or big one, the Ante increases, when it very well shouldn't.

Here is my lovely.toml:

# Prevent Boss Blind from increasing Ante if it is not the last round of an Ante
# TODO: None of the patches in this section work, Ante still increases
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/state_events.lua'
pattern = "G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss'" # Multi-line from line 111
position = 'at'
match_indent = true
payload = "BlindStation.FUNCS.get_current_blind_type() == 'Boss' and false"

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/state_events.lua'
pattern = 'G.GAME.round_resets.blind == G.P_BLINDS.bl_small' # Multi-line from line 258
position = 'at'
match_indent = true
payload = "BlindStation.FUNCS.get_current_blind_type() == 'Small'"

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/state_events.lua'
pattern = 'G.GAME.round_resets.blind == G.P_BLINDS.bl_big' # Multi-line from line 260
position = 'at'
match_indent = true
payload = "BlindStation.FUNCS.get_current_blind_type() == 'Big'"

and BlindStation.FUNCS.get_current_blind_type():

---Returns the current Blind type.
---@return string str The current Blind type, either 'Small', 'Big' or 'Boss'.
BlindStation.FUNCS.get_current_blind_type = function()
    return G.GAME.blind_on_deck or 'Small'
end

[chrome widget]

oh these patches aren't working because you're using pattern patches and you're not looking for full lines

[merry frost]

Though in this case I do actually want to use pattern patches, because the patterns appear 2 times each

[chrome widget]

Regex patches can match for sections within a line of code, but pattern patches won't

[merry frost]

Ah, alright.

[chrome widget]

So if you actually want to do that replacement with single patches, you'll need to either make a regex search for it or just use separate pattern patches (which is a little clunkier but might be faster performance wise, for as much as that matters)

[merry frost]

How is this an escape sequence?

And when I escape the dots it's even worse?

[daring fern]

I think you need to use single quotes.

[merry frost]

Nope, I had to double escape (\\)

It all works now!

Well, kind of. The ante doesn't increase but the blind UI still resets. More troubleshooting to do!

[unborn bay]

note that toml has raw strings '''text with \ backslashes and "quotes"''' so you don't have to do that

[merry frost]

I am aware of those, but am only using them for multi-line strings

How can I get the mod prefix of an object? I am trying to use SMODS.create_mod_badges, which passes in a SMODS.GameObject that I want to determine the mod prefix of.

[orchid dawn]

how to get the poker hand the player used the most ?

have a method or function for this ?

wow 12:00

[static dagger]

G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand

for reference

[orchid dawn]

ty very much

ohhh really, vanillaremade

[lament agate]

whenever i click my custom joker in the title screen

it crashes

[static dagger]

you got a crash report or any code?

[lament agate]

here

[static dagger]

You need to account for if get_card_areas is null

actually that would be if the deck is null, not get_card_areas

[daring fern]

No.

[daring fern]

Code?

[orchid dawn]

how to i get the level of specific poker hand ?

[orchid dawn]

tyyyy

[daring fern]

What is that line in the lovely dump?

[lament agate]

which

[daring fern]

Line 1972 in src/utils.lua

[orchid dawn]

to get the level of the players most played poker hand, i would do
G.GAME.hands[G.GAME.current_round.most_played_poker_hand].level?

[daring fern]

No.

[orchid dawn]

how

?

[lament agate]

cant find any lua named utils

[daring fern]

local tempplayed = 0
local hand
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if v.played > tempplayed and v.visible then
        tempplayed = v.played
        hand = k
    end
end
local level = G.GAME.hands[hand].level

[daring fern]

Try looking in your smods folder.

[lament agate]

found it

[orchid dawn]

what is v.played

[orchid dawn]

and v.visible

[daring fern]

It's how many times the hand has been played, and if the hand is visible or not.

[daring fern]

What function is this in?

[lament agate]

function SMODS.get_card_areas(_type, _context)

[daring fern]

Have you tried using Card() instead of SMODS.create_card?

[lament agate]

havent thought of that

hold

[daring fern]

Code?

[lament agate]

cheers

tysm

[lament agate]

i keep the local newcard?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

alrigh

[lament agate]

same utils crash

[daring fern]

Try removing the newcard:start_materialize()

[lament agate]

sure

[scarlet imp]

Does SMODS have documentation on Card Packs?

[daring fern]

You mean booster packs?

[scarlet imp]

yeah sorry

[daring fern]

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

[lament agate]

same crash

[scarlet imp]

And I'm assuming I'm able to take control of Booster Packs as well?

[daring fern]

Yes.

But you would use take_ownership_by_kind

[thorn furnace]

Where is Game:start_run ran?
Trying to do a UI thing but the UI hasn't loaded inside the start_run function so i wanted to place it after

[orchid dawn]

But then won't it check if the played hand is the hand with the highest level?

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.start_run

[thorn furnace]

thanks

hmm
Still too early I guess

[daring fern]

No?

[errant fulcrum]

Is it possible to destroy a card that's not drawn yet?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[scarlet imp]

what are the px and py for Booster Packs

I'm making an Atlas for them

[daring fern]

The same as any other card.

[scarlet imp]

71x95?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[faint urchin]

I have the following code in one of my files:
local video = love.graphics.newVideo(mod.path .. "assets/video/video.ogv")
This successfully loads the video for me but crashes the game for my friend. I am on Mac and he is on Windows so we suspect that may be the issue but does anyone know why it isn't working/how to fix?

[surreal knot]

hi is there any way to hide custom deckskins in settings?

the idea is to apply to run custom deckskins playing certain deck

[thorn furnace]

what function is undoing this so I can redo it manually
it's a bit annoying

(also idk why it brings up the error calling recalculate it literally doesn't work and resize it if it's not in the code)

[thorn furnace]

Actually I guess it is incredibly janky and breaks sometimes so I guess it's not entirely without basis
But compared to just not working at all, the health bar at least moves

I am going to assume with the benefit of the doubt that the reason I am experiencing so much frequent trouble with UI is just due to my inexperience
But I would not be surprised if it wasn't

(The funny thing is that the text doesn't move but that would actually be a good thing if the health bar actually worked properly)

[sonic cedar]

don't think you thought that one through very well buddy

[scarlet imp]

"say something only the real Odd Todd would know"

[sonic cedar]

"man i love the number 4--"
BANG BANG BANG

[scarlet imp]

what does the modded one do? (I'm assuming one of them you added)

[shell timber]

showman(?)

[wispy sparrow]

came back to developing balatro mods after helping out someone else adding more content and i want to add more, starting with a deck. even though i tried following the lua already provided by both vanilla remade and the mod i'm apart of, the game crashes as it expects a '}' to close a '{' at the term 'unlocked' which is really dumb. here's the code i have for this deck right now for some more context:

        key = "OyasumiDeck",
        loc_txt = {
                name = "Oyasumi Deck",
                text = {
                        "Start with {C:attention}MARIs Picnic{}",
                        "and only have Spades in the deck",
                },
        },

        order = 1
        unlocked = true,
        
        apply = function(self)
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        if G.jokers then
                            local card = SMODS.create_card({
                                    set = "Joker",
                                    key = "j_tinsdumb_marispicnic",
                                    area = G.jokers,
                                })
                                card:add_to_dec()
                                G.jokers:emplace(card)
                        end
                            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                            if v.base.suit == 'Clubs' then
                            v:change_suit('Spades')
                        end
                            if v.base.suit == 'Diamonds' then
                            v:change_suit('Spades')
                        end
                            if v.base.suit == 'Hearts' then
                            v:change_suit('Spades')
                        end
                    end
                return true
            end
    end
         }))
})```

even after adding the check_for_unlock part of the deck code which i forgot to add here it still crashes regardless by the way

[daring fern]

Have you tried installing the Lua extension?

[wispy sparrow]

your probably assuming i'm using visual studio correct?

[daring fern]

No, I'm assuming you're using visual studio code.

[wispy sparrow]

i'm using notepad++, sorry

[scarlet imp]

insane

[wispy sparrow]

perhaps i should consider getting visual studio code then?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[scarlet imp]

its free, and the Lua extrension could help with exactly your problem

It'll put error lines everywhere if your syntax is off

[wispy sparrow]

but i want to at least make sure that my deck works as it should before i put it in the repository though

[scarlet imp]

why would working in VSC stop you from doing that

I meant you don't HAVE to switch, but it is very useful

[thorn furnace]

n++ hate is crazy

[scarlet imp]

I'm not hating on Notepad++, I use it all the time, just not for writing code

usually for HTML, CSS, XML, stuff like that

[thorn furnace]

I mean n++ has syntax highlighting and whatnot

[scarlet imp]

Well it appears this gentleman has a syntax error that isn't being caught

[scarlet imp]

just out of curiousity, do you code in Notepad++

[thorn furnace]

only for Lua

[scarlet imp]

I can't code without an IDE anymore lol, too used to them

I was devastated when I figured out JetBrains doesn't have anythin for Lua

[thorn furnace]

You can configure n++ to work like an IDE

It's like Vi except it has UI and is slightly worse

[scarlet imp]

yeah I suppose
no hate towards it, I just recommend VSC since its what I use and its free

[icy moat]

You missed a comma after order = 1

[glass scaffold]

Is there a way to use the value in the SMODS.current_mod.config_tab to toggle the SMODS.Music?

[wispy sparrow]

okay i'm getting somewhere

[daring fern]

Yes, you check for the config in the function.

[wispy sparrow]

now it's saying that '}' is expected at line 360 near end at line 336

here's the code right now

aaand i just noticed i misspelt deck

yippee!

[daring fern]

You don't need to check for the suit, you can just do v:change_suit("Spades")

[wispy sparrow]

like this?

[scarlet imp]

yeah bc if its a Spade already the change is redundant, but doesn't do any harm

[daring fern]

Yes, also, if you right click, you can click Format Document and it will make everything more readable.

[glass scaffold]

Is it this easy? (I have CFG defined as local at the top of the file.)

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wispy sparrow]

would it make only one copy for each playing card instead of four

just asking before i restart balatro to apply the changes

[scarlet imp]

which do you want? do you want 52 Spades or only the original 13?

[daring fern]

if not v:is_suit("Spades") then
    v:start_dissolve()
end

[glass scaffold]

Thanks, I'm currently losing my mind that this is fully functional.

[scarlet imp]

also w skins (Silksong tomorrow)

[wispy sparrow]

okay, i think it's ready for this deck to go into the mod i'm a part of now, thanks for the help!

although the last thing i need to do is creating a design for the deck

i'll probably do the lightbulb that's present in white space considering the deck is an omori reference

[thorn furnace]

bump

I feel bad for asking for help so often
I feel like I should have gotten the hang of this by now

[sonic cedar]

yeah no im going to bed and figuring this out tomorrow nice try

[orchid dawn]

is there a way to make something run in a deck only starting at ante 2? like using if ante >= 2 then

[daring fern]

Yes.

[orchid dawn]

wichc?

wich*

wich way

how

sorry i dont speak english very well :(
sorry for mistakes

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= 2

[orchid dawn]

ok

ty

its not working, do you know why? @daring fern

my code here, wait 1s

 apply = function(self)
        if G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= 2 then
            G.GAME.modifiers.boss_rush = true
        else
            G.GAME.modifiers.boss_rush = false
        end
    end

this is a deck

[daring fern]

The ante is never going to be above 2 when the deck is applied.

[orchid dawn]

oh
im dumb sorry

lol

[orchid dawn]

what do i use instead of this?

[orchid dawn]

is there any method to do this when a new round starts or somenthing like that ?

idk sorry

[daring fern]

Yes, use calculate

[orchid dawn]

does it work in this case?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[orchid dawn]

ok

ty very much

youre incrible bro

hey bro, sorry for brothering, but i need your help

if I lower the ante and go back to 1, it doesn't return to normal

you can help ? @daring fern

[daring fern]

Code?

[orchid dawn]

calculate = function(self, back, context)
        if G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= 2 then
            G.GAME.modifiers.boss_rush = true
        else
            G.GAME.modifiers.boss_rush = false
        end
    end

[daring fern]

Yes, calculate needs to be called for it to change.

[orchid dawn]

so how could i make this work?, or would there be a btter method than calculate in this situation?

[daring fern]

You wouldn't and no.

[orchid dawn]

so there's no way to fix this if the ante goes down?

sad

but ok
ty :d

[daring fern]

No, if something calculates after the ante goes back then it will work.

[orchid dawn]

wdym

[daring fern]

If you select a blind for example.

[orchid dawn]

oh ok

could there be some kind of hack or workaround to make that happen?

[daring fern]

No.

[orchid dawn]

sad

but, ty very much

[spark remnant]

How can I get the value of a sold joker during context.selling_card?

[daring fern]

context.card.sell_cost?

[spark remnant]

perfect, ty

[flat mist]

I have some cool combo and we'll balanced ideas for jokers and spectral cards. If some Wana add them to there mod then I can share these ideas (don't need any credits or something). Just let me play these ideas once they finished.

[orchid dawn]

hey, Im making a mod with two friends, one is an artist, the other is a programmer and im a programmer too, if you want to share your ideas, if they're good, theyl probably get into the mod, it already has a lot of stuff, it's pretty balanced and cool

[flat mist]

Can I dm you ?

[orchid dawn]

currently we hve 6 pages of new jokers

[orchid dawn]

ye

[orchid dawn]

and others things obvious

[median veldt]

how exactly does one implement ^mult

[orchid dawn]

can someone help me with a blind that selects a random (visible) hand, debuffs it, and does this every time you play your hand?

sorry for brothering you again, but can you help me? @daring fern

[daring fern]

Without Talisman?

[orchid dawn]

this is my code actually

    config = { extra = {
        visibleHand = {},
        randomIndex = nil,
        chosenHand = nil
    }},

    set_blind = function(self)
        self.config.extra.visibleHand = {}
        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
            if v.visible then
                table.insert(self.config.extra.visibleHand, k)
            end
        end

        self.config.extra.randomIndex = math.random(#self.config.extra.visibleHand)
        self.config.extra.chosenHand = self.config.extra.visibleHand[self.config.extra.randomIndex]


        G.GAME.blind_message = {
            message = localize(self.config.extra.chosenHand, 'poker_hands'),
            colour = G.C.RED
        }
    end,

    drawn_to_hand = function(self)
        self.config.extra.visibleHand = {}
        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
            if v.visible then
                table.insert(self.config.extra.visibleHand, k)
            end
        end

        self.config.extra.randomIndex = math.random(#self.config.extra.visibleHand)
        self.config.extra.chosenHand = self.config.extra.visibleHand[self.config.extra.randomIndex]
    end,

    debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
        return handname == self.config.extra.chosenHand
    end,

[orchid dawn]

can someone help me?

[daring fern]

if context.after then
    _, blind.hand = pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.hands, "seed")
end
if context.debuff_hand and blind.hand then
    return {debuff = true, debuff_text = localize(blind.hand, 'poker_hands'), debuff_source = self.key}
end
```?

[median veldt]

Yeah, I figured it out actually don't worry

return { mult = (mult ^ card.ability.extra.emult) - mult }

works fine

[daring fern]

Yes, but that would make the mult sound.

[median veldt]

I can return a custom sound

[daring fern]

And show a mult message.

[median veldt]

remove_default_message

However with a custom message I can't figure out how to have a custom value

with localization

I tried message = localize("a_emult") and a_emult = "^#1# Mult" in the localization file

it just. directly prints out ^#1# Mult

[daring fern]

Is that in v_dictionary?

[median veldt]

why does it have to be in the v one?

[daring fern]

For variables.

[median veldt]

i did not know that

Ah

[vague crest]

whats that thing that jokers do where they like, shake briefly when something happens

im struggling to remember jokers that do it but i remember its just like a Thing you can make them do and thatd come in handy here

[rotund sable]

juice_up?

Or something like that

[median veldt]

ok now it just says ERROR

[vague crest]

YES

you are my favorite and ill never forget you

[orchid dawn]

its debuff any hand and not only the visible ones, do you think my code was a little bit right?

[vague crest]

whats the process for doing it remotely again?

basically trying to do it before it gets destroyed by a deck ability

[daring fern]

Also, it would be localize({type = "variable", key = "a_emult", vars = {card.ability.extra.emult}})

[median veldt]

thanky ou

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L4376

[vague crest]

ohhhh wait its that thing ok

[daring fern]

if context.after and not blind.disabled then
    local hands = {}
    for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
        if v.visible then
            table.insert(hands, k)
        end
    end
    blind.hand = pseudorandom_element(hands, "seed")
end
if context.debuff_hand and blind.hand and not blind.disabled then
    return {debuff = true, debuff_text = localize(blind.hand, 'poker_hands'), debuff_source = self.key}
end
```?

The function is the following:

BlindStation.FUNCS.get_current_blind_type = function()
    return G.GAME.blind_on_deck or 'Small'

oh ok, makes sense
but, i dindt understand the last part, the one bellow

[daring fern]

That's the part that debuffs the hand.

[bold gyro]

hey y'all, is there a card.children.center:set_sprite_pos equivelant for changing soul_pos? (i found it it's card.children.floating_sprite:set_sprite_pos)

[orchid dawn]

shouldnt it be

debuff_hand = function(handname)
 if handname == blind.hand
end

?

[median veldt]

What

[daring fern]

No.

[orchid dawn]

why

[daring fern]

It could but it's better to use calculate

[orchid dawn]

oh, ok

how do i make it so every time it selected a hand for debuffing, it shows on the screen which hand its debuffed ?

[vague crest]

ok one last weird question, if i wanted to have the joker being destroyed show an exclamation mark message below it, what would i put here? i assumed card = joker_to_destroy would be enough but it's not showing any message anywhere

[daring fern]

message_card = joker_to_destroy

[vague crest]

ohhhh ok

oh theres so many places i can add that

not here specifically but i wanna have better indication of whats going on yk

with my other jokers

[orchid dawn]

is it possible to do that ?

[vague crest]

this isnt giving any message for some reason, does it need to not be part of the event or something?

or maybe the joker being destroyed stops it from giving a message?

[orchid dawn]

set_blind = function(self)
        local hands = {}
        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
            if v.visible then
                table.insert(hands, k)
            end
        end
        self.hand = pseudorandom_element(hands, "seed")
    end,

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if context.after and not blind.disabled then
            local hands = {}
            for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
                if v.visible then
                    table.insert(hands, k)
                end
            end
            blind.hand = pseudorandom_element(hands, "seed")
        end
        if context.debuff_hand and blind.hand and not blind.disabled then
            return {debuff = true, debuff_text = localize(blind.hand, 'poker_hands'), debuff_source = self.key}
        end
    end,

this is my code, when I enter the blind nothing happens, but when i play a hand, it shows the last hand I played (or maybe just a coincidence) for any kind of hand I select and it debuffs every single hand i play

[median veldt]

try it

also it looks like you didn't actually destroy the joker

[daring fern]

Yes, move it out of the event.

[orchid dawn]

idk if im dumb, if its really hard, if iam an idiot or what
or maybe its sleepiness

[vague crest]

it definitely does destroy the joker i think? it looked like it did and i had a run prior where the joker appeared in the shop again

[median veldt]

why exactly is this not upgrading
it's SUPPOSED to upgrade whenever your least played joker hand is played

[vague crest]

this has the same outcome i fear

[median veldt]

hurm i swear i heard that you had to do something other than start_dissolve to destroy a joker
whatever clearly im wrong LMAO

[molten relic]

do you put the amount of retriggers a joker does in the config = { extra = { ?

[merry frost]

Just a quick bump, anybody got any clue about this one thing hanging me up right now?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[molten relic]

so just retriggers = 1?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[molten relic]

Yes.

oke

SMODS.Joker{ --TheInnerEye name = "The Inner Eye" key = "innereye" config = { extra = { retriggers = 1 } },

oke

[median veldt]

bump

[wintry solar]

There are a few rather specific things you need to do, I’d probably just recommend waiting for me to port some actual blind customisation over

[merry frost]

What are you referring to?

[bitter portal]

guhh how do i custom sounds
