[molten relic]

owh

works

[wintry solar]

What does your printing code look like?

[hidden notch]

if I remove lusty joker it also goes "post_trigger" => "other_joker", shouldn't that also be reversed?
The functionality of the joker is currently removed, it really just outputs when it gets triggered;

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "jokebra",
    name = "SEMBY_jokebra",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Jokebra",
        text = {
            "Gives {C:attention}twice{} the amount of {C:chips}Chips{} that",
            "the {C:attention}Joker{} to the left gives as {C:mult}Mult{}",
            "{C:inactive,s:0.8}Inspired by Buffoonery!{}"
        }
    },
    atlas = "SEMBY_jokers",
    pos = { x = 6, y = 1 },
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            print("individual")
        end
        if context.other_joker then
            print("other_joker")
        end
        if context.post_trigger and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            print("post_trigger")
        end
    end
}

[wintry solar]

So the post trigger is from the lusty joker effects which you aren’t printing

You’re just printing when your joker sees these contexts

[hidden notch]

yes, I am
i expecteded the individual to go before the post_trigger

i expect other_joker before post_trigger too?

yet in all cases post_trigger comes first

[wintry solar]

No, the order goes lusty individual, this post trigger, this individual, etc

You don’t have any way of printing the lusty contexts here

[red flower]

yeah works for me fine, it gets the lusty post trigger and then the joker's individual trigger

[hidden notch]

If my joker is on the left side and lusty is on the right it also works as I would expect it to

[wintry solar]

Yes, because you’re not printing everything

You’re only printing the contexts that yourjoker sees

[red flower]

the joker gets individual first in that case

[wintry solar]

So you can switch out the post trigger for effectively a lusty trigger

[hidden notch]

Okay

Now i get it

Okay yeah I get it fully now, thanks 😅

[wintry solar]

They are definitely after other triggers though, so just do what you need to do! 😂

[wheat jewel]

Like this?

[red flower]

no, that's the code that does it

you would need to patch it

[wheat jewel]

ohh a lovelypatch

gotcha

question is how do i make a patch for it since i don't really know where to get started on patches

imma try to find any documentation to see how

[red flower]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#patches

[frigid cargo]

Whats the difference between math.random and pseudorandom?

[red flower]

pseudorandom accounts for the run seed

[frigid cargo]

Ah, so its set on a seed?

[red flower]

yeah it makes the seed from the run seed + the seed you gave it

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[wheat jewel]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/lovely/sticker.toml steamodded does patch the sticker stuff, so if i wanted to change the rate at which stickers get added, the decimal values in the if statements for each sticker type?

[red flower]

yes, you would change those

[wheat jewel]

ok gotcha

[frigid cargo]

Is there a way to be able to pick a number between 2 and 5 while decimals are also included?

[red flower]

pseudorandom("seed")*4 + 1

im bad at math so i might be wrong

[wheat jewel]

sorry if this is a dumb question, but if i wanna lower the sticker addition rate, do i increase the decimal value since the if statement checks if the poll for each sticker type is greater than a specific value

[red flower]

yes

[frigid cargo]

Does this not include 1?

I still am confused by pseudorandom cause people use it in different ways

[red flower]

yeah like i said, im bad at math lol

pseudorandom("seed")*3 + 2 there

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[wheat jewel]

I changed the statements of the payload for each patch assuming those are what will patch the original line of code in pattern, if i wanna make this patch work when purchasing a voucher, what should i do?

[red flower]

i would make those numbers into globals and modify the globals in apply

[frigid cargo]

So im guessing the “seed” represents the run seed?

[red flower]

no, it's an individual seed for the effect

[frigid cargo]

Oh

[wheat jewel]

inside of the lovely patch toml file?

[red flower]

the games uses the run seed + individual seed so multiple effects can have separate randomization

[frigid cargo]

Ohhhh i think im starting to understand

[red flower]

i would replace those numbers with G.GAME.modprefix_eternal_rate or original_number or something

[wheat jewel]

Ohhh makes sense

[frigid cargo]

G.P_BLINDS.bl_btct_GlitchBlind.mult = pseudorandom(“seed”)*3 + 2
end

Will that work? Cause im just tryna make the blind mult random between 2 and 5

[red flower]

no idea haha

[frigid cargo]

Haha

Ill just make the tester try it out lol, if not then ill just use math.random

[red flower]

nah the number part is correct

[wintry solar]

Where are you putting the line?

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thats good thanks

[wheat jewel]

Did eternal stickers first hope this is right

[red flower]

I would do (G.GAME.sizimod_eternal_rate or 0.7) so you don't have to initialize it

[wheat jewel]

ohhhhhhh wait it just clicked what is going on, making a variable that can be changed within the main lua

i think i get it

[merry raven]

Are there any mods that implement custom cardareas that display cards in a window of sorts, I wanna reference them
I'm making a custom edition where discarding cards would go into it instead of the deck

[tepid crow]

like the vanilla consumables? or more like the vanilla deck view?

[merry raven]

Looked through the chat history for an example
Like this

This but on an edition on a playing card

[red flower]

i have this to display a pokerhand on a tooltip https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/others/PokerHands.lua#L64

for your case you would store those in a cardarea and then make another cardarea when displaying where you would copy the cards over (because cardareas destroy all cards when destroyed so you dont want to show the original)

[merry raven]

Hmm gotcha

[red flower]

i also have the banishing mechanic that does that but for any kind of card

but it displays it in a separate menu

[hidden notch]

Well, there seems to be one thing I still don't understand...
Jokers in Order: Lusty Joker, "My Joker". I play a single Hearts-Card.
If "My Joker" has "post_trigger" which outputs the Mult-Variable; if context.post_trigger and context.cardarea == G.jokers then print(mult) end
Shouldn't it print "4" now? (High Card Base 1 + Lusty Joker Mult 3)

[red flower]

what does it do

[hidden notch]

Well, I print before which is 1, then it prints 1 again for/after lusty and then 4 for/after itself

[red flower]

from what I understand from the code, the trigger and the post trigger are evaluated after the post_trigger context so the mult won't update until after post_trigger
but maybe I'm wrong

[hidden notch]

Well, that would explain it

[wintry solar]

That sounds correct

But you should have access to the return table from the initial trigger

[hidden notch]

Oh the "other_ret"?
That might be a good idea

[lament agate]

is perma_xmult a thing

[red flower]

yes

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

perma_x_mult

[modern kindle]

i hate you n i was just pasting it

[wintry solar]

I hate that underscore

[rotund sable]

Should've read the docs👀

[modern kindle]

never read docs

always ask here instead

so they can tell you to read the docs

[red flower]

if you read the docs first you dont get to look at aures cat while someone yells at you

[bitter portal]

So i had an idea for a mod... is there a way to/support for creating completley custom objects?

[modern kindle]

thats what im sayin

doesnt bepis do some recipe stuff

has that crafting thing

[red flower]

yes, you would extend SMODS.Center
(probably, never done it myself)

[bitter portal]

i cant beleive original ideas dont exist in the balatro modding community.............

[modern kindle]

no such thing as original

just do it anyway because your implementation is just as cool ♥

[lament agate]

game said something about vars not being right, isnt this good already

[tepid crow]

Extend SMODS.Center like N' said, and don't put your custom objects under SMODS, but under your own mod

[red flower]

here are a bunch of examples: https://github.com/search?q=SMODS.Center%3Aextend&type=code

[lament agate]

literally the same thing and it worked

fuck

how did it not screenshot it

what the fuck

[bitter portal]

do Centers already come with calculate and loc_vars?

[red flower]

can i see what tldf is

[red flower]

you're missing the vars for the #1# then

[lament agate]

but i already have it in loc_vars

[red flower]

set = "Other", key = "tldf", vars = { 121321 }

also please use your modprefix on this

[lament agate]

like

tngt_tldf?

[red flower]

yes

[lament agate]

sure

[red flower]

if i make a "manually" entry it will break it for example

[lament agate]

bru

[lament agate]

so its vars = 1?

[red flower]

whatever the number is, yes

it's a table tho

[lament agate]

what does that mean

[red flower]

vars = { 1 }

[lament agate]

oh

[lament agate]

huh

it says X1

but in my config

its X2.5

[red flower]

...

nxkoo..

[lament agate]

y

yeah?..

[red flower]

put 2.5 instead of 1 then

[lament agate]

...

put me out of my misery

pretty please

ITS AN OFFER

you're not going to make it tonight

either way

thanks

[faint yacht]

-# uh.

[lament agate]

anyways

should be good now

this is the wrong screenshot

again

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1364451115915022466

you're the first one methink

no one really used headless balatro

[red flower]

ive seen other people say they would do that but never seen it done

both

balatest is probably the closest to the second
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1367354388540297246

[lament agate]

https://github.com/Passeriform/BalatroTUI

rust

[red flower]

i was looking for that haha
someone also made a discord bot but they got kicked out of the modding channels lol

[lament agate]

why tho

hell if i know

[red flower]

the mods discussed it and said that it was either porting, which is not allowed, or not modding the game so it doesn't belong in modding

[lament agate]

lame

either way

how do you grab a pool again

[red flower]

wdym grab a pool

[lament agate]

like, if the player has this joker thats in this pool

for example

Food

i already have the pool set

[red flower]

you want to see if a joker is in a pool?

[lament agate]

yes

[red flower]

(joker.config.center.pools or {}).objecttypekey

[lament agate]

here's the description

"Every Food Jokers held has 1 in 4 chance to disable boss blind's ability"

ill figure out the ability

i just need to figure out the pool thing

[red flower]

if (joker.config.center.pools or {}).food then

[lament agate]

sweet

thanks

case sensitive?

[red flower]

yes

[bitter portal]

well crap i finished extending the objects and it technically works but now im stuck because i didnt think about how i'd implement it

I at the very least want them to show up here in the collections page but I have no idea how to do that

[red flower]

cardsleeves does that

dunno how

[midnight coyote]

how do i get the current upcoming boss blind

[modern kindle]

im close....i just need to stop it from adding a second time for some reason

[normal crest]

UI magic

[bitter portal]

i want to make a new kind of card that isnt necissarily a consumable since its only purpose would be to be a crafting ingrident, it would even have its own area/storage?
Should i just make a new consumable or extend off Center again?

[normal crest]

if you don't need the functionality of a consumable then extend center

[midnight coyote]

bump

[final jewel]

Why do my enhancement do not show the card like the card has the value but its not show

[red flower]

G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss
i think

[normal crest]

All the flags you marked as false can be skipped, they're disabled by default

As for youe issue, maybe SMODS is checking that replace_base_card is nil and isn't considering that it's false, just a guess

Wait no

It's gotta be the overrides_base_rank one right? Never worked with that one

[red flower]

I thought of that but the docs don't say anything about it removing the sprite

[normal crest]

The docs....

[final jewel]

I was using that cause of that

[normal crest]

Try removing it and see if it brings back the rank sprite

[normal crest]

If it doesn't then it's probably this

[wintry solar]

Your false return from in pool should handle that anyway

[bitter portal]

ok here's my crappy mockup
not sure how viable this is

[final jewel]

it was that lol

[red flower]

looks viable, just a bit hard because it's UI
if you dont mind not following cleanroom design, i would look into how yggdrasil does some of these things

[bitter portal]

How do I create a new global card area like the hand, jokers, and consumables? I need somewhere to store ingredient cards that the player gets

[red flower]

here's an example from my mod
field area is a visible area
extra deck is a toggleable one
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/extra_deck.lua#L266

you basically want to store it in G so it saves

[lament agate]

how do you hook into mod badges

[tawdry oriole]

how do i know if a joker is debuffed?

[red flower]

joker.debuff

[wind steppe]

how would i check if a joker is in a specific objecttype

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[red flower]

what's the objective

[lament agate]

gradient badges like cryptid

[red flower]

for what

your mod? other mods? a specific object?

[lament agate]

my mod yes

my mod badges

[bitter portal]

oh uh crap how do i make a new pool
is it just G.P_CENTER_POOLS['Ingredients'] = {}?

[tawdry oriole]

is there a way to modify another joker's config using context.other_joker?

[daring fern]

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

[red flower]

do SMODS.Mods.modid.badge_colour = your_gradient when the game starts

[red flower]

what do you want to modify

[tawdry oriole]

i'd like to add a new value in another joker's config

[lament agate]

so on top of everything?

[red flower]

i think it needs to be in a hook but im not sure

[lament agate]

i see

[red flower]

a specific joker? or any joker? does it need to be saved in between reloads?

[tawdry oriole]

any joker, for the run only

[red flower]

that's a bit hard because not every value on a card is saved by default

[tawdry oriole]

right

how would i access a joker's config values with other_joker though

that could be the very least

[red flower]

context.other_joker.ability

[tawdry oriole]

oh that's quite simple

thanks

[primal robin]

Wait, when creating booster packs with SMODS you can leave kind?

Really?

[red flower]

kind doesn't seem to be mandatory, no

[primal robin]

It's joeover

[faint yacht]

It's useful for other mods to reference should they want to spawn your Booster Packs and such.

[lament agate]

idk why discord removed bookmark thing, i wanted to bookmark this

ghhhh

[primal robin]

That's... a big problem

[tight hull]

is this the thing that I wanted to do too?

[red flower]

i just send it to a private chat with myself

[red flower]

yes!

[lament agate]

i dont thinkt thats possible on discodr

[red flower]

i wasnt on my pc at the time

[red flower]

it's not possible to do what i already do??

[lament agate]

boss, can you try it and see if it works without hooks, im in my bed

rn

[lament agate]

how tho..

[red flower]

make a group and add no one

[lament agate]

mf that's groupchat

but thanks

[red flower]

and what's the difference

[lament agate]

you know what

solid argument

[tight hull]

will try

[primal robin]

So for SMODS each booster pack is individual

[lament agate]

well i have this either way

[lament agate]

much appreciated

[tight hull]

I dont promise it will work tho

[lament agate]

ah well, N said it was supposed to be in a hook but they dont know that

trying isn't going to hurt anybody either way

[tight hull]

idk how to do hooks...

[lament agate]

you can try without it first

[tight hull]

I dont think it will work without (it doesnt rn)

[lament agate]

oh

@red flower which function do you usually hook for something that has to be loaded from the get go/beginning

[red flower]

Game:main_menu?

[lament agate]

maybe ill hook into that

[red flower]

it worked for me without a hook

SMODS.current_mod.badge_colour = gradient

[tight hull]

it might be bcs im stupid

[lament agate]

your global might be different

[wintry solar]

Is kind ever actually used for anything?

[tight hull]

current mod as in id?

[red flower]

no, that part leave it as is

[tight hull]

okok

[red flower]

just change gradient for your gradient

[primal robin]

For vanilla booster packs...?

To determine is it a spectral, arcana... you know

[tight hull]

that would be color_change yes?

[primal robin]

If kind is optional, how can I determine is booster pack a code pack, for example? I need manually check for every key which matches code boosters?

[red flower]

i mean if the modder is good they would include the kind

if not then you shouldn't bother and just put it in an "other" category imo

[primal robin]

[wintry solar]

I mean does kind ever actually get used by vanilla code? I’m only browsing on my mobile copy but I don’t see it being used anywhere

[red flower]

I don't think so

get_pack is never called with _type

[primal robin]

Disappointment

[wintry solar]

It just always adds every pack to the pool its polling

[primal robin]

Oh well

I need somehow group boosters by their logic

I see they have group_name thing

So I'm using it as fallback

[wintry solar]

I think boosters of the same type would share a group_key

At least mine do

[primal robin]

I'll use it too then

[tight hull]

it tries to work, but it doesnt... its now a color that is not the Hex values I put

[red flower]

where did you write the line

[tight hull]

the SMODS.current_mod.badge_colour = color_change is on top of the file in the main file and the gradient is below it

[red flower]

well that's the issue then

the gradient doesn't exist until you make it

[tight hull]

the gradient should be above?

[red flower]

yes

[tight hull]

It works!

Thnx N'

[lament agate]

i can finally give my playerbase a seizure

[modern kindle]

hi besties

my edition is now working delightfully

[tight hull]

Hi (do I count as a friend at least?)

[still sierra]

How easy is it to edit the displayed values in the score? (Round Score, Chips, Mult, and then the score of the currently played hand)
Had an idea for a mod but I can't find much documentation on changing/editing these values

[wind steppe]

why does this crash my game

[modern kindle]

sure why not

[wintry solar]

Should be G.jokers.cards

[modern kindle]

G.GAME.chips is the player score, G.GAME.blind.chips is the blind requirement

in editing it youll also want to do G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

i think anyway for the second part

so changing could be like

  G.GAME.blind.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips * [value]
  G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(G.GAME.blind.chips)

[still sierra]

You're literally my goat thank you so much

My idea was to add the Cookie Clicker style scaling to the score, so for example instead of showing as "1.160e68" it'll show as "160 Vigintillion"

Which in my opinion is more interesting

[modern kindle]

how big is dat number

i cant count higher than like 1

[still sierra]

okay so imagine 1

[modern kindle]

thats massive

[still sierra]

and then imagine it 160 vigintillion times

[red flower]

for that i would maybe override the number_format function

[modern kindle]

N bestie i got a query for u

[red flower]

shoot

[modern kindle]

playing cards are set default right

[red flower]

yes or enhanced

[modern kindle]

would i need to bother noting enhanced for preventing an edition from being applied if i have default? or should i include both

[red flower]

you should, a playing card can be either one of those

[modern kindle]

gotcha okay, thank you

Okay I just fixed a bug in my balatro bot that has been plaguing me for WEEKS. Turns out, the game does not make a purchase (update the shop state) and update the gold counter in the same frame. They are subsequent actions in the game loop.

Just had to share this somewhere

[sonic cedar]

went to bed instead of trying to fix this yesterday as you know, but clicking the button gives this crash

oh my god wait cant you call a draw function in soul_pos

i feel like i saw something about that or maybe im misremembering

ingame

i want to find the function itself ingame via the key/center so i can mess with it, not just where it is in the files

[sonic cedar]

function
ingame

can you elaborate on what you mean by in game

[umbral zodiac]

ideally, setting an old variable to the current calculate function and then setting its calculate function to the calculate function of another joker

[red flower]

G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_key.calculate

[umbral zodiac]

oh its only for modded that makes more sense

i was trying that but only on vanilla jokers

[red flower]

vanilla dont have it unless theyre take ownership of of

[sonic cedar]

no wonder i didnt get what you meant

[shell timber]

solution: ban all vanilla content and use vanilla remade

[primal robin]

[umbral zodiac]

true

[sonic cedar]

@zealous glen why didnt i ping you smh

[zealous glen]

I saw the image but I don’t know what it means

[sonic cedar]

trying to change the atlas of only the floating sprite of the joker
not the position on the atlas, just which atlas it uses

[zealous glen]

I think it’s easier to change the position on the atlas

Just because it’s been done

[sonic cedar]

yeah,,, i just didnt wanna have to add basegame sprites to the atlas

but if i GOTTA

[sonic cedar]

so assuming i have the sprite added to the atlas, how would i change the floating sprite's position instead

was directed to your red hand earlier, which is why i asked you in the first place
but im new to this sort of thing, so i dont fully get it 😭

[rotund sable]

is there a way of getting the base_numerator and base_denominator in the context.pseudorandom_result?

[bitter portal]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

what went wrong...

[red flower]

i dont think so? i think you always get the modified one

but i havent looked at the code in 100% detail

[sonic cedar]

unrelated but i just realized your pfp is jovial merryment

[zealous glen]

:D

[zealous glen]

What are you trying to do

[sonic cedar]

so i want this toggle button i have on the card to switch the sprite of the joker between my modded one and the basegame's, for that visual information of the actual effect of the button yk

[zealous glen]

Well, if it’s just for a single Joker, it’s not too much work

Although I can see why you’d want to use the vanilla atlas

[sonic cedar]

yeah cause it's

there already lmfao

[zealous glen]

I have another solution though

[sonic cedar]

im listening

[zealous glen]

Add another sprite layer

[sonic cedar]

uh huh

😄

i... still dont know how to do that

[sonic cedar]

is that still within the soul_pos or no

i like the one on p[laying card, but the problem is you cant tell wtf the card is

so i need to see if its poss to have the same shader display diff on playing cards than joker

[sonic cedar]

hmm yes... 2 and 3 quarters of diamondclubs...

[modern kindle]

cause on joker i think it looks dope

[zealous glen]

Is the number right

[modern kindle]

looks to be from my calculations

It looked like 235% instead of 135%

100% of oneself is 100%
meaning 100% of 15 would be another 15

[sonic cedar]

soul_pos = nil this about to go crazy

[modern kindle]

which equals 30

[zealous glen]

Did it say + or X the bonus

Because adding 135% on top of 100% makes 235%

[modern kindle]

adds the bonus

meaning adding 100% would be the other 15

adding 50% would add 7.5 mult

equalling 22.5

[bitter portal]

bump

[zealous glen]

I feel like multiplying the bonus is more Balatro-y

[modern kindle]

well this aint balatro its dilatro :b

[zealous glen]

Don’t you mean :d

[sonic cedar]

bilatro

[zealous glen]

I thought it was :dilatro not :balatro

[modern kindle]

i could consume you in one sitting

[sonic cedar]

[modern kindle]

but yea overall im satisfied with the edition, for player feedback instead of stating the % ill probably have it say the actual number so they dont ahve to look at mult

[sonic cedar]

was about to walk my dog and saw lightning flash in my peripheral......

[modern kindle]

tell the lightning to go away

[sonic cedar]

i did

it responded with thunder

[modern kindle]

yea sorry that was me

[sonic cedar]

dude

wtf!

[modern kindle]

i caught a whiff of you from here, real stinker

made me have to intervene

[sonic cedar]

had to have been the garbage, i jsut showered

[modern kindle]

likely story bub....

[vague crest]

im looking into cross mod compatibility with a joker from celeste card collection that works via lovely patches (climbing gear) can anyone link some useful resources for learning patching and stuff? the issue is they both affect discarding and mine does it the loudest 🤭

might not be the biggest issue in the world but its the kind of thing where if i saw the other joker id take it because it sounds like in theory itd be a fun combo

ack i also gotta do all the probability stuff today

[modern kindle]

it made me explode into 7 pieces so be warned

[sonic cedar]

can confirm as the eighth piece

[zealous glen]

Do you mean ^q^

[zealous glen]

I also agree with stating the actual number

I think it was a red herring for me not to jump to that suggestion

[modern kindle]

it was a plan i had eventually, but im mostly just glad it works before anything

so thats my happiness rn, any little things are easy work

[zealous glen]

My suggestion is to read other patches

[zealous glen]

How did you make it work anyways

[modern kindle]

ice was a great deal of help there

his powerchange got me on the right track

but then i had to make my own set of changes and shit

so i am very grateful for his help

[vague crest]

is there anywhere i would find an easily parsable example of this? like any mods you know of that do it particularly well

[zealous glen]

SMODS?

[vague crest]

i mean anything that would work for this

i can just look in the smods files and see if i find something, i was also proabbly gonna dig through vanilla remade at some point

[red flower]

vanillaremade doesnt have patches, if thats what you mean

[zealous glen]

-# You said the trigger word

[vague crest]

that is what i meant i do not really know what im doing here 🙏

[red flower]

i would just look at the smods patches, yeah

why did victin not get a heart react

[zealous glen]

They consider me not deserving of love

[vague crest]

NOOOO

[zealous glen]

And they’re in l-l-lesbians with you N’

[vague crest]

not true at all i value all the members of the balatro discord EQUALLY

[pure salmon]

is there a way to make a suit give base mult instead of base chips?

[red flower]

i cant post the madoka gif

[zealous glen]

But some members are more equal than others

[zealous glen]

Describe it to me

[zealous glen]

Amazing emoji name

[pure salmon]

if not i'll go do some snooping around the source code but if someone's done anything similar (any kind of base value manip for cards) it would save me some hassle

[red flower]

not normally, you would need to hook into the get chip and mult functions

[pure salmon]

these?

[vague crest]

this is unrelated but i have a function which resets a rank at the end of round and im trying to make it so it only does it once, what needs to be changed to make this one specifically only reset then?

[red flower]

yes

[vague crest]

like specifically when the run starts

[red flower]

check if run_start is true

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure what you’re asking but take a look at Castle in the example mods or remade

[bitter portal]

bump

[sonic cedar]

@zealous glen

am i understanding this or do i actually need to do something with those strings for them to work

[zealous glen]

I mean, the sprites need to be created somewhere

Wait this is set_sprites

That’s the right place

[sonic cedar]

what's the underlayer thing

[zealous glen]

It’s the name for a layer I put under the base layer

[sonic cedar]

ohh... wait but dont i want this above the base layer

[zealous glen]

It doesn’t matter as long as the default Joker sprite is the one you want on the bottom

Because you can manually draw extra soul sprite layers on top in whichever order

[oblique wyvern]

I can't find a list of all the context flags, did someone compile one somewhere or could at least tell me where it is in the source code?

[sonic cedar]

updated atlas btw

[zealous glen]

You can find them in the wiki but also calculate_joker IIRC

[neat leaf]

I have a very simple mod I'm working on, how would I go about allowing my mod to be "reloaded" while the game is running, after modifying one of the files? I don't want to have to restart Balatro every time I make a tiny change.

[frigid cargo]

Is there a way to check how much money was earned overall in a run?

[zealous glen]

There is one more thing though

[sonic cedar]

uh huh

[zealous glen]

There’s some file called UI or something in my mod, maybe

Try searching for underlayer

It’s a small file

[sonic cedar]

im in the file

[zealous glen]

That file exists to avoid SMODS double-drawing sprites in new layers

Because SMODS automatically draw children

[sonic cedar]

does a /lib/ui file get auto loaded or no

[zealous glen]

No

I don’t think it needs to be separate

I just wanted to keep them together

[sonic cedar]

yeah im the same way

ok so do i just put the 0 and 1 in the ignore key booleans

[sonic cedar]

?

[tight hull]

when you do gradient, whats the diffrence between 'trig' and 'linear'? (bcs I cant see one)

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[sonic cedar]

see image

[zealous glen]

I can see the image

I don’t understand the question 😭

[sonic cedar]

is that what id put in there 😭

[zealous glen]

You’re writing to a table of table keys to ignore

So you put the same key there

Idk how SMODS uses it but any truthy value inside should work

[sonic cedar]

okidoke

then all that's left is to test ig

[foggy ginkgo]

Keep getting crashes and I don't know why

Trying to figure out Yahimod code from the effects that appear on the screen

[sonic cedar]

can i not use the joker's variable as a conditional or is it because it's above the locvars

[zealous glen]

Where exactly

[sonic cedar]

mightve messed up your filepath from what it looks like

[zealous glen]

The file path might not start where you think it does. Also SMODS has its own wrapper for loading files

[zealous glen]

IIRC I used them for an unreleased Joker

Try seeing how I did it for Heartbreak in the dev version

[sonic cedar]

right

we ran out of budgets for carpet so winter youll
have to walk on these instead
🚗🚗🚗🚗

[chrome widget]

Trig uses a cosine function to ease through the colors, linear just progresses them linearly at the same rate

[zealous glen]

Something something enemy Stand user so she must only step on red

[sonic cedar]

erm

[chrome widget]

The implementation looks like this

    self[i] = start_colour[i] + partial_timer*(end_colour[i]-start_colour[i])
elseif self.interpolation == 'trig' then
    self[i] = start_colour[i] + 0.5*(1-math.cos(partial_timer*math.pi))*(end_colour[i]-start_colour[i])
end```

[zealous glen]

Is that the main branch or the dev branch

[chrome widget]

Visually, trig is more varied

[sonic cedar]

dev

[zealous glen]

The name of the file might be different, see if you can find it by searching “heartbreak”

[sonic cedar]

erm

[zealous glen]

Sometimes when I make an experimental Joker it gets a descriptive key, like the first two here

[sonic cedar]

i see

[sonic cedar]

victin did you not push it

[zealous glen]

Maybe I didn’t let me check

[neat leaf]

What exactly does SMODS.load_file do that'd make me prefer it over using require?

[foggy ginkgo]

Ugh

I need help TvT

[chrome widget]

Most times I've tried to use require the game has straight up not loaded so that might have smth to do with it

[modern kindle]

who needs a game to load anyway

back in my day we would play outside

drink from a water hose

climb uphill both ways

[sonic cedar]

this explains a lot

[foggy ginkgo]

At first this part was crashing but I think someone told me to do G.effectmanager = {} so I did

[modern kindle]

[sonic cedar]

uh oh

[zealous glen]

Yeah I never pushed it

It's there now

[sonic cedar]

VIC 😭

[zealous glen]

on its own branch

because you might need to see it in-game

[zealous glen]

By the way, have you drawn Edition shaders on extra sprites

Not shaders

Edition shaders specifically

[chrome widget]

Extra sprites?

[zealous glen]

Like soul sprites

[chrome widget]

Yeah in a few cases

[scarlet imp]

does VSC have a feature where if you rewrite a method signature it can find all the usages for you and rewrite them, like PyCharm or IntelliJ does?

[chrome widget]

I have this one draw function I had to implement because the extra sprite is an animated film scroll

    -- manually draw editions here
    if not card.config.center.discovered and (G.OVERLAY_MENU or G.STAGE == G.STAGES.MAIN_MENU) then
        return
    end

    if not (card.children.thnks_underlay and card.children.thnks_overlay) then
        return
    end

    if card.edition and not card.delay_edition then
        for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Edition) do
            if card.edition[v.key:sub(3)] and v.shader then
                if type(v.draw) == 'function' then
                    card.children.thnks_underlay:draw(card, layer)
                else
                    -- because foil is transparent unlike the other edition shaders
                    if v.key:sub(3) == 'foil' then
                        card.children.thnks_underlay:draw_shader('dissolve')
                    end
                    card.children.thnks_underlay:draw_shader(v.shader, nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader)
                end
            end
        end
    else 
        card.children.thnks_underlay:draw_shader('dissolve')
    end
    card.children.thnks_overlay:draw_shader('dissolve')
end```

[chrome widget]

Press F2

[zealous glen]

Does this account for custom Edition draw methods?

[frigid cargo]

[chrome widget]

Yeah, it calls a draw method if the edition has one in the middle there

[hearty crane]

@lament agate did it somehow i think

nvm he dod spent money

[chrome widget]

However it should probably implement the should_draw_base_shader thing because it just manually draws the base shader for foil instead

(I didn't know that was a thing when I wrote this and haven't gone back to it)

[zealous glen]

I see I had an implementation similar to yours, but mine didn't work so I commented it out

[modern kindle]

i dont know that most things are a thing 🙃

vic hates me

see its right there

all in the pudding

[frigid cargo]

Could i possibly use ease_dollars except idk how to use it or what it does

[hearty crane]

im not a coder either

[chrome widget]

I haven't tested it with a ton of modded editions so it might not work perfectly

[frigid cargo]

Aw

[scarlet imp]

what about if I want to add arguments

[chrome widget]

It's just for renaming the signature, you'll have to do that manually

[scarlet imp]

danm

[chrome widget]

You'll have to hook ease_dollars and add to a global value (i.e. G.GAME.dollars_this_run) every time the mod is positive

[frigid cargo]

Ok thanks

[zealous glen]

I was empathizing

[frigid cargo]

But how do i use ease_dollars?

[modern kindle]

unfortunately this wouldnt fit my narrative ive conjured up in my mind

[sonic cedar]

still crashes trying to index ability 💔

[zealous glen]

unfortunately I reject your reality and substitute my own

[chrome widget]

It's basically

function ease_dollars(mod, instant)
    local ret = ref_ease_dollars(mod, instant)

    if mod > 0 then
        G.GAME.dollars_this_run = G.GAME.dollars_this_run + mod
    end
end```

[zealous glen]

Oh, probably don't do it in set_sprites

[modern kindle]

thats it, im turning to dust out of spite

[chrome widget]

However you'll also probably want to declare G.GAME.dollars_this_run initially in an implementation of SMODS.reset_game_globals() so you don't have to check for nil each time. You can find that on the SMODS docs.

[sonic cedar]

oh okay
removing the local thing in there then testing

[zealous glen]

IIRC set_sprites is called before set_ability? Or maybe inside?

[frigid cargo]

Ok thanks

[zealous glen]

by the way when I mentioned ^q^ earlier that was a reference

[polar stratus]

does anyone know how to upload to the Balatro Moddiing Manager

[modern kindle]

im not much of a referencer due to my dum dum ness so u gotta explain

[sonic cedar]

it worked

...ill fix the y value though

[zealous glen]

It's a song

[modern kindle]

smh id have never guessed that reference if you gave me 37 guesses and an eclair

[zealous glen]

I can give you the link to the song and the warnings

[sonic cedar]

ignoring the fact that i cant read an atlas for my life why isnt it lining up with the card...

oh my god is it only going where i stop dragging the card

[zealous glen]

oh wait

That's what UI was supposed to fix

Maybe you didn't do it correctly then

[sonic cedar]

oh no

[vague crest]

trying to set up a card that messes with probabilities with the new smods tech, i had it working fine before but im struggling to get the new stuff working, can anyone see what went wrong?

[zealous glen]

-# also did you see Heartbreak in-game

[sonic cedar]

-# no, should i

[wintry solar]

you can't nest contexts like that

[vague crest]

ah is that all it is

[sonic cedar]

i have it loaded

i think

[zealous glen]

but are the keys inside correct

[vague crest]

ok wait what would be the correct way to format this then? removing the context definitely does not work i just get a crash

[subtle urchin]

hey! im trying to test learning modding and in order to see vanilla jokers I extracted the files but idk which .lua file does have the code for jokers, anyone knows? thx

[rotund sable]

Are y'all unironically using the balatro font in vscode?😭

[sonic cedar]

they look to be...?

[sonic cedar]

no you missed that era

[vague crest]

theyre located in card.lua

waiut

wait is that right

might be game.lua

[scarlet imp]

You should go to VanillaRemade and look at the code online there, it's more similar to what you'll actually end up writing assuming you use SMODS

[vague crest]

that also

[scarlet imp]

and it's organized better than the source code too

[vague crest]

vanillaremade is sooo nice

[modern kindle]

time for me to do this now that im late

[subtle urchin]

i though that but i think i missed it... thx

[zealous glen]

These are different from the keys you used above

[zealous glen]

These

[subtle urchin]

oh i checked "ModdedVanilla" but its missing most of them so idk about most events, will check that one out, thank you!

[sonic cedar]

what where how huh

[scarlet imp]

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

[subtle urchin]

perfect, thanks!!!

[zealous glen]

compare with

[scarlet imp]

this is a really good resource if you want to look at how cards work

[sonic cedar]

i... forgot to remove the tostring...

[modern kindle]

what if i want to see how you work

[zealous glen]

Giving me ^q^ vibes

[subtle urchin]

yup just checked and its what i was looking for, thanks so much!

[vague crest]

bumping this rq because i cannot for the life of me figure this out

[sonic cedar]

so i took off the tostring and it just showed no soul sprite
so i took off the string part and left them without quotes and now i get the ability crash

NOW im gonna put the tostring back but add it to the ui thing too...unless that wont work

[oblique wyvern]

I can't seem to find a context flag for when blind is selected or start of round, any help?

[sonic cedar]

setting_blind

[oblique wyvern]

that was fast, thanks a lot

[sonic cedar]

i was here lmao, np

overcome with the random urge to eat a danish
...test first

[zealous glen]

I think you were never drawing the sprite correctly

[oblique wyvern]

is there a collection of specifically food jokers anywhere in game or do I need to make a list of them myself

[zealous glen]

But since you didn’t disable the automatic draw correctly

[sonic cedar]

me neither 😭

[zealous glen]

You didn’t notice it

[zealous glen]

No and yes

[sonic cedar]

sending how it is right now

[oblique wyvern]

wdym?

[sonic cedar]

is this about cryptid or something else

[red flower]

No, there isn't. Yes, you need to make it yourself

Cryptid has one tho

[wind steppe]

how would i spawn any joker from a specific mod?

[zealous glen]

You asked two questions with an “or” so I tried to answer in the clearest way possible

Which for most people I reckon would be answering each question individually

[oblique wyvern]

oh I understood that as a list existing in a superposition

[zealous glen]

Instead of interpreting it as a logical “or”

[red flower]

create an objecttype for that mod or save all the keys to an array and use pseudorandom_element

[zealous glen]

By the way, you shouldn’t handle the toggle in set_sprites

[oblique wyvern]

to spawn a card do I need its name or a backend key because I can't find the keys for the jokers

[red flower]

the key

i usually look for them in the localization files

[formal parrot]

Is it low or high

[red flower]

it's low key high key

[zealous glen]

Nice to see you

[oblique wyvern]

can I just get from a generous individual a line of code that spawns idk showman

[formal parrot]

Oh hey victin

Just checking

[zealous glen]

:)

[red flower]

j_ring_master

[oblique wyvern]

I know that's his id now

but how would I spawn him specifically

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card { key = "j_ring_master" }

[oblique wyvern]

ok thanks

[vague crest]

does anyone know why this line of code isnt triggering? it's supposed to give increased probability for one hand after playing a single ace and it DOES but it never goes back down

[red flower]

because you're returning in the previous condition

[sonic cedar]

? If you mean the variable, it gets handled in the button’s function

[zealous glen]

I mean the sprite

The sprite should always be created

[sonic cedar]

but if it’s always created, how do I stop it from showing up?

[oblique wyvern]

are you sure it's not SMODS.add_card(key="j_ring_master") idk much lua but it seems weird to call a function without normal parentheses

[red flower]

yes im sure

if the only argument is a table or a string you can skip the ()

[neat leaf]

Getting the following message whenever I mouse-over the config icon in the Mods list for my mod: INFO - [G] Could not find key for center: { refresh_movement= "true", }

[oblique wyvern]

alright thanks

[neat leaf]

I have never made a mod with configuration ability before.

[zealous glen]

You’re defining the draw function

Just don’t draw it

[oblique wyvern]

    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        local foodJokers = {"j_cavendish", "j_gros_michel", "j_selzer", "j_popcorn", "j_ice_cream", "j_turtle_bean", "j_ramen", "j_egg", "j_diet_cola"}
        if context.setting_blind then
            SMODS.add_card {key = foodJokers[math.random(#foodJokers)]}
        end
    end

so would that do what I think it'd do?

[sonic cedar]

so change soul_pos from nil to a toggle check?

[neat leaf]

Oh wait, that's happening whenever I mouseover any mod config.

[zealous glen]

Kinda

[sonic cedar]

Ok im listening

[zealous glen]

I don’t as gonna stop there

[sleek nova]

is there a context for upgrading any hand

[oblique wyvern]

also how would I kill this specific joker

[oblique wyvern]

you could use the context for using a consumable and check if it was a planet

[neat leaf]

Wait, this is a Cryptid issue, moving the conversation there.

[red flower]

Yes but it's not recommended to do it that way as math.random doesn't take into account the run seed. pseudorandom("seed", min, max) is recommended

for an array table there's a better function pseudorandom_element(table, "seed")

[oblique wyvern]

oh that doesn't work for burnt and stuff nevermind

[sonic cedar]

[red flower]

SMODS.destroy_cards(card)

[zealous glen]

Sacrificial Dagger

[snow breach]

Intent: Swap all enhancements, seals and additions of two selected playing cards.

Outcome: None, literally nothing

[sleek nova]

then it wouldnt activate with jokers doing it and the other ability of the card is making burnt jokers

[zealous glen]

See how my Jokers define custom draw functions

For the soul sprite

[oblique wyvern]

you're incredibly helpful btw I'm grateful

[zealous glen]

And just add a check somewhere

[oblique wyvern]

idk barely anything about the modding api and am just making a goofy idea a friend thought of
(grandma, when blind is selected make a food joker and 1/2 chance to become mr bones)

[sonic cedar]

got it
I’ll do that when I get back to my computer
Heating up some mac

[red flower]

idk why it doesn't work, i need to read it a bit more but card.enhancement and card.seals don't exist
it's card.config.center.key and card.seal

[modern kindle]

my mac

[zealous glen]

Destroying Apple products I see

[red flower]

to transform you can use card:set_ability("j_key")

i dont rememebr what mr bones' key was

[sonic cedar]

yeah im a hypocrite

[modern kindle]

yea well im a hippo crip

[bitter portal]

#💻・modding-dev message
bump

[snow breach]

Even then, I asked it to print the outputs as a table and it gave nothing again.

[red flower]

ok yeah the reason it doesn't work is because G.hand.highlighted[1] and [2] are single cards, not tables of cards

[snow breach]

They have to be single cardsss?

[red flower]

you're trying to iterate over a single card

[vague crest]

sorry i had to disappear immediately after sending this apparently but wdym by this?

[red flower]

if true then
    return -- returns from the function
end

if true then -- it will never reach this
    -- stuff
end

[vague crest]

huh ok i wouldve assumed it wouldnt matter since the only thing connecting them is the calculate function

[oblique wyvern]

I just killed her and added mr bones, is the standard way to use that?

[red flower]

depends on the effect you want to achieve

[vague crest]

they are meant to be two different functions, one turns it on and one turns it off

im also running into an issue with the remove_from_deck function but im dealing with that ❇️ after ❇️

[red flower]

well, calculate is a single function

[vague crest]

true

removing the returns just makes these not do anything, what would the process be instead?

[red flower]

what's the goal? also you don't need to divide the probability to turn it off

[vague crest]

oh wait what

[red flower]

in fact, it just halves the probability if you do that

[vague crest]

ok LMAO so what would the new method be to disable it after the hands left counter reaches 0

[red flower]

just don't return the multiplication

[vague crest]

oh wow ok

[red flower]

the new context multiplies the values every time it is called so you just turn it off by not modifying them

[vague crest]

ohh thats literally so much nicer

big fan of this

[snow breach]

Alright, I know the bottom half is wrong. What do I set it to?

[normal crest]

you're setting the stuff of card not card1 or card2

[snow breach]

You are so right

I've been coding for like 7 hourss oh my god

It still crashes TwT

[normal crest]

is the crash something along the lines of "trying to index string"

[snow breach]

No

[vague crest]

got it working!! tyty

[normal crest]

Oh

[normal crest]

get_enhancements returns a table like this { m_bonus = true }

[red flower]

you don't want get_enhancements because you dont want quantum stuff shenanigans

[snow breach]

Alright

[normal crest]

you can still use get_enhancements just use next on it

[red flower]

card1.config.center should work

[normal crest]

yeah just do what N says

[snow breach]

That... Almost worked.

The seal didn't transfer. And the car became the consumable.

Originally like this (ignore the numbers)

[red flower]

you probably wrote card.config.center which would be the consumable

[snow breach]

I sure did!

What about the seal?

[red flower]

for the seal it should be without the .key

[snow breach]

YES! Thank y'all so much!!

[brittle yacht]

sup gang

new joker im making

js trying to get it to give you $3 at the end of a blind, during the cash-out part, plus it should play a custom song in the shop? how to do this?

[red flower]

first part is with calc_dollar_bonus

[brittle yacht]

k

[red flower]

second is with smods.sound which idk anything about

[brittle yacht]

i know one bit about it

lol

[sonic cedar]

so id have to do that whole sprite_data thing?

[sleek nova]

im trying to make so you get a tarot card for the specific hand you discard so im looking on burnt joker but i dont know the check for the type of hand you discard

is it G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)???

[red flower]

yes

[sleek nova]

ah i see

[snow breach]

Can someone please explain to me what G_E_MANAGER is and why I would ever wanna use it?

And how to use it, I guess.

[brittle yacht]

this doesnt work, i assume?

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            return { vars = { calc_dollar_bonus } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and not context.blueprint then
            calc_dollar_bonus```

[red flower]

you use it to time actions like messages
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[red flower]

calc_dollar_bonus is another function like calculate

pls see the docs

[brittle yacht]

mb

[sleek nova]

where the hell is the code for blue seal

i dont want to look through 900 mentions of blueprint

[red flower]

Card:get_end_of_round_effects in card.lua

also i recommend vanillaremade if you just want the implementation

[hidden sable]

damn you beat me to it i was gonna add something like that

welp time to make your mod a requirement

[brittle yacht]

getiing a bug here

    key = 'spambot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = '{C:purple}Spam{}{C:money}bot{}',
        text = {
            'Earn {C:money}3 Kromer{} at the end of a blind'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'spambot',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    config =  config = { extra = { dollar = 3 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollars } }
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        return card.ability.extra.dollars
    end
}

not sure why

[rotund sable]

What bug

Error? Doesn't work?

[brittle yacht]

yeah

[rotund sable]

...

[brittle yacht]

ill send the crash

[rotund sable]

config =  config = { extra = { dollar = 3 } },

[brittle yacht]

ANHBNEBFEIFJIADB

how did i do that

[rotund sable]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[brittle yacht]

while ur here

[rotund sable]

👀

[brittle yacht]

do you know how to replace shop music?

[rotund sable]

uhhh

never touched music

[brittle yacht]

    key = "music_spamton", 
    path = "music_spamton.ogg",
    pitch = 1,
    volume = 0.7,
    select_music_track = function()
        if jokerExists("j_silly_spambot") and string.len(G.GAME.blind.name) > 0 then
            return true end
    end,
})```
this is what i have, i assume i just need to replace the ```G.GAME.blind.name``` with something else

[thorn furnace]

Is it possible to have a cardarea of cardareas

[zealous glen]

No

[sonic cedar]

Ah ok. Should I not be looking at heartbreak for what you mean then?

[red flower]

no, why?

well maybe you can

[thorn furnace]

Was thinking about making a card type where you can drag it onto a Joker to give it certain attributes

à la how it looks in Solitaire
Except you'd still be able to rearrange the jokers like normal

[red flower]

you can have a cardarea as a child of the joker

[zealous glen]

you just need an if check 😭

[thorn furnace]

O

[red flower]

that's something I want to do but I've never figured out how to make it look nice

i still don't understand how z ordering works in this game

[thorn furnace]

I really wanna continue modding but my feeble brain can't take much more of Balatro's UI

[sonic cedar]

OH 😭
Where

[thorn furnace]

And all my projects are either UI dependent or art dependent or both

[red flower]

i feel you

i need to make new UI for my mod too

[thorn furnace]

I really heavily debated reprogramming it from the ground up in Unity with a custom rendering engine but I'm pretty sure that's not allowed for like five different reasons

[red flower]

yeah

[brittle yacht]

anybody know how to replace shop music

[brittle yacht]

with a joker

[thorn furnace]

Is it worthwhile to search through the thousands of lines of UI code and do the UI from scratch

[zealous glen]

inside the draw function as I said

[pure salmon]

SMODS.Sound({
    vol = music_volume,
    pitch = music_pitch,
    key = "[key]",
    path = "[filename].ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return ([your conditions] and G.shop and not G.shop.REMOVED and 11) or false
    end,
})

[brittle yacht]

thank you!

[pure salmon]

np

sorry for the wait

[brittle yacht]

ur good

[plain palm]

yeah that’s what i woulda did

[brittle yacht]

the uh your conditions: im just trying to make it so the new shop theme only plays when you have a specific joker

[red flower]

close

[pure salmon]

rats

[ivory coral]

is there a way to get a decks base joker slot limit? like how painted/black deck has 4/6 joker slots by default

[red flower]

next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))

[brittle yacht]

"close"

[brittle yacht]

so what is it?

[red flower]

what i just sent

[pure salmon]

oh is it find_card? mb

[brittle yacht]

oh

bfefuewbfubewfbsad

[red flower]

you need the next too

[red flower]

G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots

it might not exist for decks that dont replace it

[sonic cedar]

sorry I wasn’t home hi
ok so
I set soul pos to a table

in the table I put the draw function

in the draw function I check if the toggle is true

and then if it is true… do I do a card.children remove thing?

[ivory coral]

thanks!
or 5 should hopefully be good enough for that scenario

[brittle yacht]

    key = 'spambot',
    loc_txt = {
        name = '{C:purple}Spam{}{C:money}bot{}',
        text = {
            'Earn {C:money}3 Kromer{} at the end of a blind'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'spambot',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    config = { extra = { dollar = 3 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollars } }
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
        return card.ability.extra.dollars
    end
}

this doesnt give me 3 bonus dollars like its supposed to, did i do something wrongggg

[red flower]

yes, you named it dollar but you're using dollars

[brittle yacht]

easy fix, mb

thanks

[zealous glen]

no

You just draw or not draw

[sonic cedar]

oKAY
so i set soul_pos to a table
if the toggle is true then draw
if it’s not then dont draw

do i put the set sprites code in the draw function?

[zealous glen]

No

[ivory coral]

trying to set a config value to (G.GAME and G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots) makes it equal to nil for some reason
i put G.GAME and before it because otherwise it crashed on startup because G.GAME didnt exist yet i assume

[red flower]

yeah none of that exists at the time you make a config

[formal quest]

How do I get the amount of hands remaining?

[red flower]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_left

[neat leaf]

So, I tried using Better Tags with Cryptid (namely, my mission to generate the greatest Cat Tag the world has ever seen), but that mod seemed to break Cat Tags entirely. I did manage to fix it.

[ivory coral]

ooh ill try setting it in set_ability instead

[formal quest]

How do I get the current score and required score?

[ivory coral]

yeah that did it sweet

[red flower]

G.GAME.chips and G.GAME.blind.chips respectively

[autumn brook]

is there any G.STATE for boss blinds?

[red flower]

G.GAME.blind.boss?

[bitter portal]

why am i crashing
my code:
https://github.com/DogeisCut/CuriousCrafting

[autumn brook]

I don't think so? It may be something i done wrong
[SMODS P5Music "P5Music.lua"]:50: attempt to index field 'BLIND' (a nil value)

[red flower]

lua is case sensitive

[red flower]

also it's not a state

[autumn brook]

oh

[red flower]

if G.GAME.blind.boss is true then you're currently in a boss blind

[sonic cedar]

OKAY

[bitter portal]

bump

[autumn brook]

How can i implement that? Sorry if i ask dumb question but i hardly even believe that my own code is working and im new to modding 😭

[red flower]

that looks fine, you might need to add G.GAME.blind and in front of it so it doesn't crash in the main menu

granted idk much about sounds

[autumn brook]

like that?

[red flower]

yeah

[sonic cedar]

check your injections, based off the crash

[wind steppe]

why game crash

add_tag(Tag("tag_para_foodtag")) line 747

[red flower]

can i see the code for the tag

[thick drift]

quick question about pseudorandom, it returns a value between 0 and 1, correct?

[sonic cedar]

if you want it to

[red flower]

with only the seed, yes

[wind steppe]

SMODS.Tag{
    atlas = 'Tags',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0},
    key = 'foodtag',
    apply = function(self, tag, context)
        if context.type == "new_blind_choice" then
            tag:yep('+', G.C.PURPLE,function() 
                local card = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*1.27/2,
                G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h/2-G.CARD_H*1.27/2, G.CARD_W*1.27, G.CARD_H*1.27, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS['p_para_foodpack'], {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})
                card.cost = 0
                card.from_tag = true
                G.FUNCS.use_card({config = {ref_table = card}})
                card:start_materialize()
                return true
            end)
            tag.triggered = true
            return true
        end
    end,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.p_para_foodpack
    end,
    in_pool = function(self, args)
        return false
    end
}

[red flower]

hmmm no idea

[autumn brook]

The game stopped crashing when trying to access the menu, but it stills plays the music from G.GAME and G.GAME.round_resets.ante

for my understanding it should work, but it doesn't

[red flower]

what is it doing now? i don't understand

[autumn brook]

It is still playing music that is played with G.GAME and G.GAME.round_resets.ante, and still doesn't play the music with G.GAME.blind.boss on boss blinds

[red flower]

oh, i think you need to give it a higher (?) priority

but like i said i don't know much about sounds

try adding and 1 or false at the end

[autumn brook]

It is working now! So for my understaing the "and X or false" is for priority?

[red flower]

yes

[normal crest]

well A and X or false means, if A is a truthy value, the entire line will evaluate to X, otherwise to false

I'm surprised your music plays with a priority of 0 tho

[autumn brook]

well somehow it works

if it works it works

thumbsup~5

[brittle yacht]

are you able to make joker's atlas asset a gif

[unborn bay]

no

[thick drift]

True programming mantra

[autumn brook]

i am NOT touching that code if it works 😭 i just know the game will magically crash on startup when i change that for no reason

[brittle yacht]

how do i make this code instead of shop be for regular blinds

    vol = 1,
    pitch = 1,
    key = "music_spamton1",
    path = "music_spamton1.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return (next(SMODS.find_card("j_silly_spambot")) and G.shop and not G.shop.REMOVED and 11) or false
    end,
})```

@pure salmon i know you know how to do this probably

how to do for regular blinds
and
a seperate one for boss blinds

[sonic cedar]

ok i think

i got it

maybe

or if not im close

[ivory coral]

im trying to patch Card:load and Card:set_sprites to make a joker have certain dimensions (like half joker) but for some reason its not doing anything? i copied the way its done for half/photo/square and replaced the name with my jokers key but it doesnt work idk why
heres what im patching in respectively (before the part for half joker but the whole code is pretty long)

if self.config.center.name == 'j_osquo_ext_backgroundcheck' then
    self.T.h = H*scale/1.5*scale
    self.T.w = W*scale
end

if _center.name == 'j_osquo_ext_backgroundcheck' and (_center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then 
    self.children.center.scale.y = self.children.center.scale.y/1.5
end

its only 1.5 for testing ill change it to a more normal value once its actually working

[unborn bay]

you don't really need to do this as display_size and pixel_size exists

[ivory coral]

omg thank you
every time i try to do something like this it just turns out theres already a thing for that lol
i should just read the docs more

[red flower]

this is also done in vanillaremade :3 :3

[long sun]

stuck on a problem ^^;

code:

local game_start_run_ref = Game.start_run

function Game:start_run(args)
  game_start_run_ref(self, args)
  local existing_ranks = {}
  for i, j in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
    local is_valid = true
    for _, rank in ipairs(existing_ranks) do
      if j:get_id() == rank then is_valid = false end
    end
    if is_valid then existing_ranks[#existing_ranks + 1] = j:get_id() end
  end
  G.GAME.phanta_initial_ranks = existing_ranks
end```

this is causing a crash for someone

namely: if j:get_id() == rank then is_valid = false end

as it says it's indexing a boolean value

ideas? ;u;

[daring fern]

Have you tried printing j?

[long sun]

will give it a go

it's weird, as it works on my machine

[ivory coral]

what do you mean
you mean it works for you but not someone else or

[long sun]

yep

[daring fern]

Also have you tried putting it in an event?
