Should be fine.

pure salmon
#

this crashes for some reason

#

is it supposed to be context.debuff_card and not context.other_card?

red flower
#

yes

pure salmon
#

ok

#

odd that doesn't apply to stay_flipped but whatever

#

is_face always returns false on debuffed cards apparently

#

any way to get around that

red flower
#

i think it has an argument for that

#

not sure

#

yeah it does

#

card:is_face(true)

vague crest
#

is it possible to replace booster packs with a different booster pack via the same method?

red flower
vague crest
#

ohhh true i could just tick a variable up each time ones removed

sullen brook
#

Anyone know how to identify whether the blind just completed is the 8th ante boss blind?

#

I'm using G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss.showdown but I think this is incorrect

red flower
#

G.GAME.blind.showdown also works but i think that's correct, why?

pure salmon
#

why do cards flipped like this not unflip before the hand scores (joker, not a blind)

image.png
red flower
#

because you're not checking the card area so they also stay flipped from G.hand to G.play

#

context.to_area == G.hand

sullen brook
red flower
#

context.main_eval

it's destroying cards because you're returning true at the end, remove that

#

(to answer the comment in your screenshot context.end_of_round is called on each card in hand to trigger end of round effects like gold cards with mime)

Eh, that's supposed to be a 7

Hold-over from tinkering with flavor ideas as opposed to functional ones

#

I get a crash on round completion. Seems it doesn't like the 'main' in my context.mail.eval check? Gonna look over the documentation again, I'm missing something...

#

i already said it

#

context.main_eval

sullen brook
#

Oh, ok got it. I missed that on the first pass

#

I think some digging around the vanilla files may be in my near future.

red flower
#

I recommend checking out vanillaremade if you haven't already

sullen brook
#

That remakes everything with SMODS capabilities, correct?

red flower
#

yes

why is it called smods/steamodded anyways

How am I supposed to add +1 choice to a specific type of consumable pack

hybrid shadow
#

how do i set a card to be eternal in its code again

red flower
#

card:set_eternal(true) iirc

lament agate
#

card.base.suit is a variable right

red flower
#

it's a string yes

lament agate
#

for some reason, it only decreases the chips not the xchips

#

G.playing_cards is the reference to the entire deck, right?

daring fern
urban wasp
#

why do my config options not save after a reload
i have a config.lua

hybrid shadow
#

so it would seem that add_to_deck does not work with tarots

either that or the args are different from how they are on jokers

#

or card:set_eternal(true) doesnt actually make the card eternal

red flower
#

does eternal work with tarots

hybrid shadow
#

good question

#

i do not know

#

the major point of making it eternal is so it cant be sold

red flower
#

i dont think so by default

hybrid shadow
red flower
#

i can do it for you if you want

This little text

hybrid shadow
#

oh i see

red flower
foggy ginkgo
#

Yummy

hybrid shadow
#

ok, i do need to make it manually return a message it seems

red flower
#

wdym

hybrid shadow
#

ok so the actual function is returning an xmult value but the message part of that xmult return doesnt work? unless the game automatically doesnt give the message if the xmult value is 0

red flower
#

it doesnt

#

but it still calculates it which is weird

hybrid shadow
#

so my alternate question here is, can i make a message in the localization file and use #1# in that localization file to use the card's loc_vars in the message

#

or i can probably just do the regular value in the message anyway since its probably gonna be the only card that does x0 mult

red flower
#

theyre in v_dictionary iirc

hybrid shadow
#

i know where messages go, i just didnt know if you could customize them to use the card's loc_vars

red flower
#

yeah i mean that messages with variables are specifically in v_dictionary, not just dictionary

hybrid shadow
#

oh ok

#

whats the xmult sound name

How do I do editions on challenges

#

how would i define something as a boolean without giving it a value right away?

daring fern
vague crest
#

when i add a local variable in the calculate function i

#

actually wait can i just set it to false and itll only be false that one time

#

my thinking was that it would set it back to false like constantly but i realize idk if thats actually true

daring fern
vague crest
#

i guess in this case it could totally just be a joker variable actually yeah

i'm trying to hook evaluate_poker_hand in order to make the played hand always contain a Two Pair. I've used code from Cryptid's Exploit's old effect. It almost works, but the game doesn't intuit that played hand must contain a Pair if it contains a Two Pair. Also, the game assumes played hand was originally a High Card if a Pair is played, and makes one of the cards in the pair unscoring. What should I do?

local evaluate_poker_hand_ref = evaluate_poker_hand
function evaluate_poker_hand(hand)
  local results = evaluate_poker_hand_ref(hand)
  if next(SMODS.find_card("j_picubed_weemini")) then
    local count_2 = 0
    for k,v in ipairs(G.hand.highlighted) do
        if v:get_id() == 2 then 
            count_2 = count_2 + 1
        end
    end
    for k,v in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
        if v:get_id() == 2 then 
            count_2 = count_2 + 1
        end
    end
    for k,v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
        if v:get_id() == 2 then
            count_2 = count_2 + 1
        end
    end
    if count_2 > 0 then --important bit starts here
      if not results["Two Pair"][1] then
        results["Two Pair"] = results["High Card"]
      end
    end
  end
  return results
end```

chat, remind me how i use SMODS.add_card to add a specific card when i have a key in mind cirDerp i forgot

iirc SMODS.add_card({ key = "insert_key_in_mind_here" })

i know you can just leave key unspecified if you want a random card from the provided set, but if i set it to like key = not 'specifickey' would that work

Trying to see any solutions to my "attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value" in chat history and not seeing much, anyone have ideas? Only happens when going to the shop. I almost want to assume you have to have some type of booster pack for consumables but i could be wrong

image.png image.png
#

i can follow up in the morning on this, definitely not staying up till 3am or something for what could be a small fix lol

scarlet imp
#

is it because shop_rate is 0? maybe its required to be nonzero?

daring fern
wise walrus
#

Even with shop rate of 2 or a decimal still causes it

#

As a test I wanted to create a consumable rarity that’s similar to Spectrals and only appears under certain conditions

#

just for extra context as well, I only have 2 consumables in this and they’re copies of each other. difference being the 2nd copy doesn’t have the pool=. issue happened even with one

just business card, but I had to change the loc_vars

none of what I added messes with the card's functionality, and this crash only occured when I played a hand, so I think I'm just using a non-updated version of this card's code from Vremade

ooh thats sick

Basically there's a persistent issue with both the background and (a failed attempt at) the UI colors

looks great to me though

#

i'm unsure if somebody's done this better, if at all

frigid cargo

#

Because they assign the individual values in the table of whatever passed in color as targets to ease R, G, and B individually, it means that they don't respect gradients unless you manually assign the Gradients to wherever the colors are stored. Then you have to make sure to change them back when you want to lose the gradient mode, because if those tables are still referencing the gradients, the update of the gradient will just overwrite them and persist

Same issue with the UI, though that one seems even weirder and I haven't figured out why it doesn't work. It keeps just setting it to black

if you want it to be attached to odds (e.g. affected by oa6s and value manip from other mods), then do

where card.ability.extra.odds is (presumably) 4

#

I’m not at my computer anymore so I can’t check, but I’m sure there’s a table in either the source code or SMODS with the stickers inside. Find that, and use pseudorandom_element or something similar to get a random sticker. Something like that should work

Ok thanks

so i tried to test a bit with odds and pseudorandoms and each time i spawn in the joker it crashes with this error

Hey there, still having trouble with playing Boss Blinds before I'm supposed to. The issue I'm having is that the UI refreshes when I don't want it to. I have patched Ante increasing, I just need to stop the UI from resetting the blinds. Here are my patches

how do i do that? cant find it in smods docs?

just to make sure, this will modefy the whole code? so i need to add the original code if i want it to do the original effect?

Ok, so I've looked into it, and it doesn't seem like the first patch I put in is even necessary. Something else is causing the UI to behave weirdly when beating Bosses out of order.

I have no idea what I'm doing
Trying to debuff a random hand

#

card.ability.extra.hand = eligible_hand.name this just sets it so you can see what the hand is on the card

#

i dont think it works like that tho

merry frost
#

Is there a way I can copy the blind so that I can safely change one state without affecting all others?

#

Even commenting that out hasn't helped...

what condition should I use to check if specifically a, for example Celestial pack was skipped? I tried using the context.card too, it didn't work

yeah

gilded blaze

#

wait i got an idea

gilded blaze
#

smods already provided multi box support

manic rune
gilded blaze

#

but all of my jokers are using generate_ui because of paging stuff

median veldt
#

i personally wpuld do like
chips = 35 - chips
for example
i believe that will work idk tho

manic rune
tawdry oriole
median veldt
#

try it

tawdry oriole
#

on it o7

gilded blaze
#

btw

#

generate_ui is what smods wants your function name to be

#

the vanilla function is called generate_card_ui

it's a function

I'm not clear on what exactly you're adding

wise walrus

now i can move onto seeing how to call the square sparkle effect used in booster packs/jimbo win and loss screen

wintry solar
# merry frost I'm not clear on what exactly you're adding

To sum it up very briefly, I’ll be adding primarily the option to create custom small and big blind options, similarly to how you can currently create boss blinds, but as part of that there will be all the necessary util stuff so that you can effectively play and blind in any slot and it won’t break

is there a number equivelent of Card:is_face() ?

Card:get_id() or nothing unfortunately

quantum ranks when

not Card:is_face()?

rotund sable
#

don't think Ace is a number card

royal ridge
#

i mean you can logically just do if not card:is_face() and card:get_id() ~= 14 then

#

but hardcoded

Hmm'k. Well I was basically just lazily copy-pasting code from the DarkMode mod, so I really shouldn't be surprised.

#

But how do I go about swapping out the default deck?

#

Like, the suits, I've already got the backs working with Malverk

@paper elbow i think this is correct formatting, just can't find where exactly the atlas name is defined so i took it from your snippet

royal ridge
paper elbow
royal ridge
#

ok found it, the atlas to replace is cards_1 and cards_2 yeah

paper elbow
#

👍 Yeah, I'd just tested it and it succeeded. tysm!

#

It's definitely still pretty rough looking, but this is essentially the desired result. The card back is from the Dark Mode mod

royal ridge

paper elbow
#

Yeah. Still a lot to do to make my deck skin work. Not sure how to go about doing the outline. I'll show you what I mean

#

The "Balatro Black" is simply not legible on jet black cards.

#

But I want these skins to work on white and black cardbacks equally. Haven't thought of a good solution yet.

#

A possible solution is to make the text and frames the suit colour.

royal ridge
paper elbow
#

I thought about that. It's what I was originally going to do, even.

#

But I also felt it was kinda eh

royal ridge
#

if you've got absolutely no solutions gfx wise, you could just create 2 versions and hook into get_front_spriteinfo to display them when you want to

paper elbow
#

That's fair. Right now, I'm going to keep thinking on it

#

I gotta go lay down now though, I need sleep and I have a really bad headache. Thanks for the help.

#

theres a post titled "A (Hopefully) Comprehensive Guide to Joker Art"

lofty sand
#

is there any way to change the text on a joker when a specific context is called? not like displaying the config in the descrtiption, like changing the entire description

nova torrent
#

i want to say that im still relatively new to modding, but the thought that i had was
define different versions of the text in the "misc" portion of a loc file, and depending on the state, call localize to get the text you want, which you can send through a variable to the card itself's localization

#

if that makes any sense ^^;

honest birch
#

i hope this isnt a handholding type of question but could anyone point me to a good example of how to use PokerHandParts? i cannot figure out how to add a basic six of a kind hand and right now im stuck at literally crashing while selecting cards

#

all i know is that the "hand" argument spits out a table of all cards in a given played hand

red flower
errant fulcrum
#

So I have this code that I copied from the example to add a custom seal

    set = "Spectral",
    key = "testsigil",
    name = "Test Sigil",
    config = {
        -- How many cards can be selected.
        max_highlighted = 1,
        -- the key of the seal to change to
        extra = 'leshys_corpseeater',
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        -- Handle creating a tooltip with seal args.
        --info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_SEALS[(card.ability or self.config).extra]
        -- Description vars
        return {vars = {(card.ability or self.config).max_highlighted}}
    end,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Test Sigil',
        text = {
            "Select {C:attention}#1#{} card to",
            "apply a {C:attention}Test Seal{}"
        }
    },
    cost = 4,
    atlas = "Sigils",
    pos = {x = 5, y = 2},
    discovered = true,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        for i = 1, math.min(#G.hand.highlighted, card.ability.max_highlighted) do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                return true end }))
            
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after',delay = 0.1,func = function()
                G.hand.highlighted[i]:set_seal(card.ability.extra, nil, true)
                return true end }))
            
            delay(0.5)
        end
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({trigger = 'after', delay = 0.2,func = function() G.hand:unhighlight_all(); return true end }))
    end
}```


And it was working before but now when I used it I get this error and I cant figure out what's wrong

if i want a joker that gains mult when certain tarot cards are used, should i be putting an if context.using_consumeable in the calculate function?

normal crest
#

Yes!

#

You need to filter what kind of consumable it triggers on tho

#

Since that context includes all

#

I believe you should be able to do that with and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot" iirc

main minnow
#

yep

wispy sparrow
#

so i guess the next step in my book is to make the listed probabilities evil blueprint has and make them dynamic

main minnow
#

is there a way to get the IDs of the card(s) being affected by the tarot card in question?

wispy sparrow
#

i already replaced every number in the description with #x#

#

is there anything i need to add to the vars to make the probabilities dynamic?

normal crest
main minnow
#

the specific effect i'm looking for is "gains +mult whenever an 8 changes suit, enhancement, edition or seal"

#

(yes i know this'll require checking spectrals as well but i assume the code will work out basically the same)

normal crest
#

I don't think there's a context for that

#

But whenever that happens the game calls check_for_unlock, so you could hook that and make your own context

wispy sparrow
#

i even followed the similar scheme to vanilla balatro when it mentions any chances but the probabilities are not dynamic if theres something that increases the odds (or makes it guaranteed)

# red flower the docs are kinda confusing but it still has a name field

im gonna be really honest, the reason im in this chat so much is because the docs are pretty much unreadable to me, it took me around 3 breaking bad episodes to learn that to return your custom pokerhandpart you have to do "YOURMODSPREFIX_KEYOFPOKERHANDPARTKEY" instead of just "POKERHANDPARTKEY"

red flower

i should add pokerhandparts to vanillaremade

also i dont know if its just me but i have an issue where i can READ and understand code but cant WRITE it

# red flower yes

thanks. I've found that "0000441" contains 4 of a kind in the first hand, but I cannot use that seed in manual testing (zeros only works with G.FUNCS.start_run. from scripts). I guess im looking for other seeds...

unless you want a more specific thing to look for for mod support

so currently i'm at the stage of "just check for every card that could affect those things"

although i'm realising this is a bad approach

red flower
#

oh yeah you would need to hook a couple of functions for that

main minnow

how

"hooking functions" is a thing that keeps being mentioned, and i'm sure it's extremely obvious but i don't actually know how you do it

the most i have did today is making a quick animated sprite code thats easy to implement

main minnow
#

currently i'm at the stage of "hooking check_for_unlock and finding that that doesn't get passed info about what card is being modified"

manic rune
#

this is animation trigger, for manual purposes

#

and for a looping animated sprite you just do this

It's one of the funniest facts about me because I don't strike most people as an athlete. But I was a varsity jock in high school and was captain of the boys bowling team

idk anything about bowling but damn

or also destroyed

chrome widget
#

Yeah let's just redact that little thing right there

modern kindle
#

maybe winter whos a smarty pants would be able to help better

#

or bepis who is also smart

main minnow
#

the only way i've found to do that is to hook that weird unlock function because it gets called any time a card is modified

#

but all it knows is that a card has been modified, it doesn't know which

scarlet imp
#

has anyone who has worked with probability before tell me why this crashes the game?

config = {
    extra = {
        odds = 2,
        dollars = 2
    }
},

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    if BI.has_reroll_item() then
        local text = BI.generate_pool_text(card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {
            set = "Other", key = "item_pool", vars = {
                text.is_modded,
                text.rarity,
                colours = {
                    text.colour
                }
            }
        }
    end
    local numerator, denominator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds)
    return {
        vars = {
            numerator,
            denominator,
            card.ability.extra.dollars
        }
    }
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and
        context.other_card:is_face() and
        SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "business", 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
        return {
            dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
            func = function()
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        }
    end
end

this was taken from the probability branch of Vanilla Remade, so there's no reason I can see that it shouldn't work

red flower
#

whats the crash

scarlet imp
#

and yes, it is just supposed to be Business Card, I just needed to mess with loc_vars

red flower
#

can i see more

scarlet imp
#

yeah hang on

red flower
#

just copy paste it here

scarlet imp
red flower
#

i looks like youre passing card.ability.extra to it somewhere

#

did you restart the run before testing?

scarlet imp
#

yeah, I just made a new run

red flower
#

make sure you saved the file correctly too

scarlet imp
#

I learned a trick a while back that putting name = "<mod-prefix>-<card_name> stops its original code from running so I'll try that

red flower
#

ohh is this a take_ownership?

scarlet imp
#

that seemed to fix it lol

red flower
#

yeah the problem is that the original is using the odds in card.ability.extra

marsh scroll
#

is there a way in jokerforge to change this to "current hand size - 6" for example? something like the example for bootstrap (pic 2), idk how to achieve that

image.png image.png
scarlet imp
#

makes sense. I wish that SMODS would automatically stop the OG code from running if you take ownership and redefine something

Localization is new, maybe implemented not ideally

#

But, you know, works

paper zealot
#

Why the need to remake the vanilla toggle? Was this for the mouseover hover tooltip feature?

primal robin
#

To make text from both sides, left and right to checkbox

#

And place checkbox by itself properly, it's janky

#

And support formatted text

#

And make text fixed width, also from both sides

#

And yes, hover popup too

#

And there's too much "And"

Is there a way to know which params are required by the function in G.FUNCS ? For example, G.FUNCS.cash_out should require some params, but I don't know which one (I got to this conclusion using DebugPlus and eval G.FUNCS.cash_out()). After trying and error, I know that eval G.FUNCS.cash_out({config = {}}) works. I wonder if there is a better method than manual trying....

honest birch

#

yeah it might have broken the old stuff

Ideally cash out function expects button which called this functions

yes, unzip the balatro.exe or better yet look at the lovely/dump folder

is there something to the likes of cryptid's init function?

other than reimplementing that yourself, no

#

why

tawdry oriole
#

alrighty

#

i wouldve needed it for a function

#

not a function* a joker

AFAIK the only thing that does is run code when the joker is loaded, to make it easier to disable jokers

You shouldn't do this in calculate, and if you need to have a reference to the card modified then this won't be all you need

main minnow
#

oh god

scarlet imp
#

is there a way that I can tell where a card was obtained from? I want to set a variable inside of my Jokers that says if it was obtained from the shop, from a pack, from Judgement, something like that

red flower
#

I don't think that gets passed to the card once it's created, but you can maybe hook create_card to get that information from the key_append

scarlet imp
#

that's what I was thinking too, I was just wondering if there was a simpler way

#

ugh

im still getting this error after updating smods to 0706c

pure salmon
#

this debuffs cards while in the shop but not during a blind for some reason

#

Ok I think I'm getting the hang of this now

image.png image.png
#

math was a little wonky from debug actions but it does work

red flower
pure salmon
#

i think i only changed to debuff_card because debuff doesn't work either

red flower
#

if you remove the suit check does it work

pure salmon
#

here's outside of the blind vs. inside The Head boss blind

#

the suit check myseriously doesn't work sometimes and works fine other times

red flower
#

what's the intended effect?

pure salmon
#

from a set of boss jokers that does an effect on a suit (Goad buffs Spades, e.g.) and debuffs another suit, randomy chosen at the end of the round

#

the random variable works flawlessly

#

but the actual debuff effect is busted

red flower
#

if you remove the check does it debuff everything

midnight coyote
#

how do i check for game over in an unlock context

#

like in the check_for_unlock

pure salmon
#

the suit check works fine

red flower
pure salmon
#

this only happens when the variable switches suits

red flower
#

when does it do it

pure salmon
#

actually no

#

whenever the round reset variables get called

#

like how castle and idol do it

red flower
#

hmm idk when thats called but I think the problem is that it is called after the first debuff_card context

pure salmon
#

i cant change when these trigger though, right?

red flower
#

nah its called at end of round

red flower

pure salmon
#

when the variable switches, the card debuffs go from happening only during blinds to happening only outside of blinds

okay, so, my mod has config and stuff right? makes things do other things. okay well when i exit the game after changing settings in-game, none of the configs that i set are saved; they all just go back to being false
the lua below is my config file and the file attached is my lib/settings.lua, both of which i am loading before everything else. most of this code is stolen from cryptid by the way. help!

return {
    ["HTTPS"] = true,
    ["music_all"] = true,
    ["music_mythic"] = true
}
📎 message.lua
pure salmon
#

that function is how i decide which suit to debuff and it works fine

red flower
#

no idea lol

pure salmon
#

shit

red flower
#

ok yeah i have the same bug

sonic cedar
#

if i wanted add_card to give you multiple copies, would i just run the function again or is that a param

red flower
red flower
pure salmon
sonic cedar
# red flower run it again

do i set the buffer to 0 on only the second one, or do it on both and increase it by 1 in between the two functions?

red flower
#

idk im looking at what it might be

red flower
sonic cedar
#

got it

# pure salmon so there’s not much that can be done until there’s an smods update that fixes it...

yeah i think it's a timing issue, the suit changes before the game calls debuff_card at the end of round, if a card is already debuffed when it's checked then it gets undebuffed anyway

so because you're changing suits the game debuffs the new suit at end of round and then when the next blind starts it calls debuff_card again but because the cards were already debuffed it undebuffs them (which would be normal behavior for end of round)

i dont think this is a bug per se, you can try saving the previous suit and only changing to the new suit in context.setting_blind

why doesnt this work?

# 
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.d_size } }
    end,
    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.round_resets.d_size = G.GAME.round_resets.d_size + card.ability.extra.d_size
        ease_discards_played(card.ability.extra.d_size)
    end,
    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.round_resets.d_size = G.GAME.round_resets.d_size - card.ability.extra.d_size
        ease_discards_played(-card.ability.extra.d_size)
    end,
}```

#

ease_discards_played doesn't exist

molten relic
#

what is it then?

#

mea confusa

red flower
#

ease_discard or ease_discards, one of the two
check vanillaremade :3

molten relic
#

its gonna be a while unfortunately, I'm kinda slow at coding and I wanna add everything

Jimbo's Collection mod for tboi is basically balatro in tboi
