[long sun]

they have loads of mods installed so i'm assuming it's a mod interation

[ivory coral]

pretty sure thats a playing card yeah

[long sun]

i don't see how that'd help ;u;

[limber blaze]

itd probably be better to figure out the root cause but did you try just

checking if j is a table first

aka type(j) == "table"

[long sun]

right i'll give that a shot

[limber blaze]

i mean

this should probably be a temporary fix

but itll hopefully stop crashing until then

[ivory coral]

is it specified what exactly is the boolean being indexed

[daring fern]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        if not G.playing_cards then return false end
        -- code here
        return true
    end
}))

[ivory coral]

because a playing card should not be a boolean tmk

[long sun]

alright will try

[limber blaze]

i mean crossmod is crossmod sometimes people do weird stuff

i dont think its unimaginable that j is a boolean

it shouldnt happen still

[long sun]

no but this happens with my decks too

which don't have custom cards

working on my end, will send it over

[red flower]

question: have you tried using ipairs instead

[vague crest]

coming back with hopefully one last finishing touch, im trying to have my joker that creates glass cards on card destruction add it to the deck like marble joker does, because i think its important to be able to see the rank and suit, but the problem is it gets stuck here and never goes into the deck, effectively softlocking the player. in theory i can just add the old code but i much prefer it show what actually gets added if anyone has any expeirnece with this

[red flower]

@long sun

[thorn basin]

what is the command to check if a played card has a specific enhancement? (for example stone)

[long sun]

oh for the second part?

[red flower]

SMODS.has_enhancement(card, "m_stone")

[thorn basin]

aight

[red flower]

for G.playing_cards

[long sun]

i mean, it works on my end

iirc G.playing_cards isn't indexed

[red flower]

it is

[long sun]

brain is melting it's nearly 3am sorry ;u;

[red flower]

the reason you might have this might be because there might be a non indexed value the games uses

[long sun]

person says it works now anyway :D

but ya i'll look at this tomorrow

so change to ipairs, then?

gotchagotcha ^^; will try and remember to do that

thanks!

[red flower]

do you have the lua extension installed

[vague crest]

uhh i think so? its the one that formats stuff right

[red flower]

yes

can you format the code for me lol

[vague crest]

🤭

one moment i think i can

[red flower]

should be right click > format document

[vague crest]

THATS A THING?

oh my heavens

[red flower]

you can also make it format on save

[vague crest]

holy peak ok

[humble pawn]

Okay so how would I go about making it so that a card is scored while its in the hand?

[vague crest]

something like baron?

this is the context for something like that

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round

[humble pawn]

No I want it to be scored like a normal card just you dont have to play it, it just scores while in your hand

Using it for a seal

[vague crest]

oh

i wanna say this exact kind of seal is in uhhh handsome devils? you could check that

might be black seal

[red flower]

I don't see anything wrong, so it might be the context that's the problem. How are you triggering this joker for testing?

[vague crest]

it's triggered on destroying a card with diamond suit

[red flower]

yes, but how

[humble pawn]

Ill go check it out

[daring fern]

Perhaps you could do SMODS.score_card(card, {cardarea = G.play})

[red flower]

How are you doing it for testing, I mean

[vague crest]

if context.remove_playing_cards then

oh wait like in game?

[red flower]

yes

[vague crest]

im using a hanged man

[red flower]

I think the problem is that the hanged man consumable places itself in G.play as well

[vague crest]

oh my god

[red flower]

marble joker does it in setting_blind so it doesn't have to worry about that

[vague crest]

yeahhhh ok 😭

[red flower]

same thing will happen with any card that destroys in scoring

[sonic cedar]

Does anyone know where i can find the scale/rotate mods for the legendary jokers' sprites?

[lament agate]

whats the real name of this

[red flower]

shop_jokers

[lament agate]

shop_jokers???

[red flower]

maybe not

no, it is

[sonic cedar]

like i have THESE mods, but it's for the soul itself. if i can get rid of the bounce it does, then we're fine

[red flower]

unless you want something different from what I'm thinking of

[lament agate]

oh yeah it is shop jokers

lmao

what about vouchers?

[red flower]

G.shop_vouchers

iirc

[thorn basin]

Not sure why but my custom joker doesn't create a tarot card when a stone card has played even if i increase the chances...
Am I missing something?

[red flower]

card is the joker, context.other_card is the card played

[thorn basin]

oh, I forgor that

my bad

[lament agate]

not playing the money animation for some reason

[red flower]

what's dollar_cost

[lament agate]

the fee for the joker

it takes the player's money

[red flower]

is that something you added or a cryptid thing or

[lament agate]

config = { extra = { fee = 15 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = { card.ability.extra.fee },
            colours = { G.C.MONEY }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.starting_shop then
            for _, c in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
                c.ability.couponed = true
                c:set_cost()

                colour = G.C.MONEY
            }
        end
        if context.setting_blind and not context.blueprint then
            local fee = card.ability.extra.fee
            if G.GAME.dollars >= fee then
                G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars - fee
                return {
                    message = localize{type='variable',key='a_dollars_minus',vars={fee}},
                    colour = G.C.RED,
                    dollar_cost = fee
                }

[red flower]

sorry im on phone this is unreadable

[lament agate]

valid

i added it by myself

[sonic cedar]

think i found it actually nvm

[red flower]

i dont see why it wouldn't play it tho

[lament agate]

it did gets the player's money

its just no animation

[red flower]

like the animation over the dollar counter?

or the message?

[lament agate]

on the counter yes

[red flower]

oh

that's because you're subtracting directly

[lament agate]

what do i need to do to make it animated

[red flower]

either return { dollars = value } or ease_dollars(value)

[lament agate]

i see

and how do i detect the player's spending

[red flower]

hook ease_dollars

well that doesn't detect spending directly

[lament agate]

what do you mean not directly

[red flower]

it detects any form of manipulation on the money

so rentals would probably count as spending for example

[lament agate]

eh im sure no one plays with gold stake with my mod

thanks for that

[red flower]

i mean there are many other things that i wouldn't consider spending this would count, like your fee

[lament agate]

theres no other reliable way?

[red flower]

there probably is

just not very straightforward

[lament agate]

and that is

[red flower]

i cant find the shrug emoji

🤷

there it is

how can i prevent any cards in the hand from being moved? i remember that there's a moveable property to set to false, but i forget where in the card hierarchy it lies

[daring fern]

card.states.drag.can = false?

[lament agate]

oh yeah @red flower i tried the gradient badges thing

doesnt work

[modern kindle]

You should make it work then

[glass scaffold]

How can I get this to delete ALL discarded cards

[lament agate]

bur how

@tight hull how did you get the mod badges working brw

[daring fern]

if context.pre_discard then
    if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "seed", 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
        card.ability.extra.active = true
    end
end
if context.discard then
    if card.ability.extra.active then
        if context.other_card == context.full_hand[#context.full_hand] then
            card.ability.extra.active = false
        end
        return {remove = true}
    end
end
```?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[lament agate]

making my mod badges has like the gradient from Cryptid

[daring fern]

It seems to hook SMODS.create_mod_badges and create the mod badge itself.

[daring fern]

Update SMODS

[scarlet imp]

is there documentation on how I could add a setting to the game? or a config option associated with my mod that could be accessed in-game?

[glass scaffold]

That means a LOT more code is gonna need to be updated.

[glass scaffold]

I'm on beta-0614a SMODS.

[daring fern]

Yes, that version is old, you need to update.

[glass scaffold]

lovely...

Alright.

[glass scaffold]

Ok, for now, how do I do it in the OLD SMODS?

I'm gonna hold off updating until I get more stuff done.

[umbral zodiac]

why would you hold off on updating

theres not that many breaking changes

and people are going to play your mod on the latest

[glass scaffold]

Because I'll hold off until Shenanigans and some more mods get updated

[daring fern]

What does that line look like in the lovely dump?

[scarlet imp]

I'm gonna try to not patch the game if I can avoid it I decided

alls I need is for this function to run after all the cards in the game have been declared

basically after I click on the game to launch it, at some point all of the cards get defined and I need this function to run after that

[daring fern]

Why?

[scarlet imp]

because I need to do stuff with all of them? what matters why lol

[modern kindle]

Probably because knowing why you're trying to do something can help lead to the solution

Idk why it has to be secretive

[red flower]

code?

[glass scaffold]

Alright, I'm working on the new loc_vars
-# to save myself some headache...

This look good for the new edition or do I need to change something before I proceed to Step 2?

[scarlet imp]

basically I want to add tooltips to every item in the game and to do so I need to mess with their loc_vars. I made a function that is supposed to hook the loc_vars of every card in the game when it runs, adding the necessary code to each of them, but to do so I need the cards to exist already.
I didn't mean to come off difficult or rude, just didn't really know how to explain the situation

I tried hooking Card:init() instead but that has also left me out of luck, it isn't adding tooltips like I need it to

the only other way I've been able to pull this off successfully until now is by taking ownership of cards and adding the tooltips manually, but obviously that's really time consuming and I'd rather have a function that can do it for me

[daring fern]

Remove G.GAME.probabilities.normal or

Also other_value doesn't exist.

[glass scaffold]

Documentation has other_value, but ok.
Should be able to make the changes and be on my merry way to updating.

[daring fern]

Yes, it is referring to other values you might be returning in loc_vars

[glass scaffold]

ah, ok

[lament agate]

so whats the solution

tomorrow i figure out why everything triggers twice with everything i do involving jokers

somecom surely youve noticed

do you know how many square root mult workarounds ive had to do

2
and that's 2 too many

[scarlet imp]

Is this a new card or did you take ownership?

[lament agate]

i see

[red flower]

no you dont

[red flower]

what's nxkoo_dies

[lament agate]

global

[red flower]

i read that, what is it

[sonic cedar]

[red flower]

it needs to be SMODS.current_mod

[scarlet imp]

ahhh ok then idk why it runs twice lol

[lament agate]

oh

not there, in the line where you set the badge colour

alright so inside the payload, info_queue[#info_queue + 1] gets assigned to the code I need to be adding to the cards, correct?

[lament agate]

SMODS.current.mod.badge_colour = fourthwall_gradient

?

[red flower]

yes

[lament agate]

thanks

[daring fern]

No, it gets given the localization/center you want the tooltip to be.

[bitter portal]

#💻・modding-dev message
BUMP

[red flower]

write it correctly

[sonic cedar]

the desc updates accordingly btw

[daring fern]

It's SMODS.current_mod not SMODS.current.mod

[lament agate]

br

[scarlet imp]

yes I understand but the localization is variable, depending on the card that the tooltip is attached to. As an example:

if BI.show_item_pools(card.config.center.set) then
    local text = BI.generate_pool_text(card)
    info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {
        set = "Other", key = "item_pool", vars = {
            text.is_modded,
            text.pool,
            colours = {
                text.colour
            }
        }
    }
end

this is what I have on each of my modded cards right now, and the generate_pool_text function returns the necessary values for the localization

would I be able to patch all of that in?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[glass scaffold]

So where do I need to put the local vars?

I already tried putting it at the top of the file, above its respective loc_vars function, and the one in the screenshot

[daring fern]

You define them again.

Actually no, you just put in the base numbers.

1, card.ability.extra.odds

[glass scaffold]

So if I understood right:

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lament agate]

whats the cause for no assigned repetitions again

[daring fern]

You're likely returning something without a context check.

[glass scaffold]

Oh thank God, it's working now

[lament agate]

mine has context tho

here

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } },
                colour = G.C.MULT
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

how do I copy the error code when the game crashes

its a keybind right

[glass scaffold]

CTRL + C on crash screen

[scarlet imp]

this patch seems to cause a crash whenever I hover over any card with an additional tooltip, such as Stone Joker, which caused this crash. Here's the patch:

            colours = {

        }
    }
end
'''
match_indent = true

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to check if card

[scarlet imp]

unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Even though the generate_pool_text function works perfectly if I take ownership and manually add this code inside of loc_vars, it doesn't work from where it's being called as a result of this patch

[bright abyss]

i'm trying to install steamodded but i just can't find the appdata folder

[daring fern]

Press the windows key and R and then type %appdata%

[scarlet imp]

it's normally hidden, the easiest way to access it is using the Run program. But long-term you'll want to enable the viewing of hidden files in your directory

[bright abyss]

computers suck

what're they hiding my files for

[scarlet imp]

(assuming you're the only one that uses your computer, otherwise keep it hidden)

[bright abyss]

well how do i unhide them

[scarlet imp]

View > Show > Hidden Items in File Explorer

[bright abyss]

and i just make a folder called Mods, right

[scarlet imp]

are you going to download the files manually or do you know how to use git clone

[foggy ginkgo]

Trying to make booster packs but this happened

[bright abyss]

no idea what that is

[scarlet imp]

don't worry about it. Whatever way you use to download them is fine, I just find cloning the repository easiest

but that's only bc I'm tech savvy I suppose

[scarlet imp]

@daring fern is this the only way to add things to the info_queue, or can I edit the loc_vars of cards like I originally tried to do

bc calling the generate_pool_text function doesn't crash anything when I call it from inside of a card's loc_vars

[daring fern]

Yes, no you can't.

[scarlet imp]

I think I'll just add it to each card manually then. It's causing alot of problems doing it the other way and the only thing I lose by adding it manually is time (and it might cause cross-compatibility issues but idrc)

thank you anyway

[vague crest]

running into a kinda funny bug, i have a joker which makes a random joker rental at the end of the round, and ive realized that whether or not the rental takes 3 dollars immediately when it's applied is entirely dependent on whether the joker is to the right or left of landlord. is there a context besides end_of_round that would apply just a little bit before rental takes money?

this is what im currently doing and while it's functional it leads to an unexplained strategy where you want your landlord to be the rightmost joker and thats weird and strange

[scarlet imp]

this might be kind of jank but you could do context.after and check if the amount of scored chips is more than the blind requirement

[vague crest]

LOL that sucks but it might work

wouldnt that be weird with mr bones actually?

[scarlet imp]

true yeah

damn Mr. Bones and saving people from dying

you could hook the rental sticker and make it apply later perhaps

dunno how that would work

[vague crest]

oh wait i could lowkey just rental them when blind is selected

whats stopping me

[scarlet imp]

I think that would make it less abusable anyway

[vague crest]

also gives you a little warning in advance

[scarlet imp]

If I needed a Joker like that but didn't want rentals, you just sell it before playing the winning hand

[daring fern]

No, you would hook end_round()

[vague crest]

which isnt really landlord coded but might be more fun to strategize with

probabaly just gonna go w that actually, ty

[glass scaffold]

I forgot if I've asked here, but how do I configure this to destroy ALL cards selected?

[daring fern]

Yes, you did ask.

And I provided a solution.

[glass scaffold]

Thanks

[scarlet imp]

is taking ownership of consumables as simple as SMODS.Consumable:take_ownership() like it is for Jokers?

[normal crest]

yes, it's the same thing

[lament agate]

is this correct

trying to put talisman compat

[normal crest]

there shouldn't be an issue with doing hand_chips > mult even with talisman

since they're both turned into bignums

[lament agate]

ah shit

thanks tho

[daring fern]

Is it possible to check if a card would score anything when doing SMODS.score_card?

eval_card isn't sufficient because it doesn't account for jokers.

[iron iron]

im checking to see if the mult is less than a fifth of chips, is this the way

[daring fern]

Wouldn't it be if mult < (hand_chips/5)?

[foggy ginkgo]

Does stop sound exist

Sounds dumb to ask

[daring fern]

love.audio.stop()?

It does also restart the music.

[foggy ginkgo]

Hm

Oh well

[summer furnace]

Sooo, I don't quite understand the DeckSkin doc, I also have the Example Mod open, but I don't understand the reason of icon_lc/hc, could someone explain please?

Oooooooh I figured it out, but as a question, would this be possible to do, or do I need to split that up?

[tight hull]

did you get it to work?

[summer furnace]

about my DeckSkin problem this message here seems to be the answer to my problem, I'll try it out now

[tight hull]

the icon doesnt need to be saporate (at least I think)

[iron iron]

i am so stupid 😭

[tight hull]

just curious, can you change the color of the name of a joker?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tight hull]

and how would I do that?

[daring fern]

You would do {C:colour}

[tight hull]

can I make it a gradient?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[tight hull]

.

[daring fern]

It's the same as a description I think.

[daring fern]

You would do {C:modprefix_gradientkey}

[tight hull]

it works that way?

I feel threaten by the ? emoji 😭

[hidden sable]

SUPER ❓

[open tapir]

i msde a joker on joker forge and apparently somethings wrong on line 69 and i dont know what it is

close to if it says

and return too

[daring fern]

Which line is line 69?

[tight hull]

mod prefix or mod id?

[rotund sable]

just a code gen error

[daring fern]

Mod prefix.

[tight hull]

so it kinda doesnt work (it just stays this color)

[daring fern]

Code?

[tight hull]

name = '{C:Rcm_change}Return By Death{}',

[daring fern]

Gradient code?

[tight hull]

local color_change = SMODS.Gradient({
    key="change",
    colours = {
        HEX("232329"),
        HEX("dd9237")
    },
    cycle = 5,
    interpolation = 'trig'
})

[daring fern]

The mod prefix needs to be lowercase I think.

[tight hull]

yeah

works now

kinda funny

[hasty mist]

how would i make this conditional? do i need to hook it somehow?

[shell timber]

local to_big_old = to_big
function to_big(x)
  if CONDITION then
    return to_number(x)
  else
    return to_big_old(x)
  end
end```

[hidden sable]

yeah that

[hasty mist]

oh awesome thanks

genuinely really helpful

[lament agate]

works now

[hidden sable]

when people are so unfathomably smart that modding dev is dead

[fossil nebula]

Hi, I literally yesterday got into coding and I wanted to do a simple joker. It works that every time you use a planet card it additionally upgrades another random hand. I've got the part on detecting when the planet is used and how to level up hand but the problem is I have no idea how to make it upgrade a random hand

[rotund sable]

im not sure but would

for _, v in ipairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet) do
  if v.config and v.config.hand_type then
    local hand = G.GAME.hands[v.config.hand_type]

    if hand and hand.visible then
      hands[#hands + 1] = {
        key = v.config.hand_type,
        hand = hand,
        planet_key = v.key
      }
    end
  end
end
local chosen = pseudorandom_element(hands, "seed").key

work?

[daring fern]

No.

[rotund sable]

it's a slightly modified version of the function i use for most played hand

[rotund sable]

damn

[daring fern]

local hands = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(k) then
        table.insert(hands, k)
    end
end
local hand = pseudorandom_element(hands, "seed")
while hand == context.consumeable.ability.consumeable.hand_type do
    hand = pseudorandom_element(hands, "seed")
end
SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, hand)
```?

[rotund sable]

for this effect do i have to just copy paste set_ability everywhere or can i hook something?

[tight hull]

when i have {C:color} can I use hex?

[rotund sable]

you have to define it yourself if you want to use custom colors

https://github.com/EasternFarmer/EasternFarmers_corner/blob/v1.0.2/src/colors.lua

[fossil nebula]

thx i will check that later

btw i have the code of the game extracted but where is code for the jokers?

can't find it

[daring fern]

Is the goal that "Plant" jokers have a 1 in 2 chance to be negative in the shop?

[rotund sable]

shop, packs etc

[daring fern]

You could hook Card:set_ability and make it negative.

[rotund sable]

i'll try that

ty for the help

[lament agate]

how do you use

the assert line again

[rotund sable]

you mean like?

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

[lament agate]

oh you need a path for it?

[unborn bay]

uh. yeah of course

[rotund sable]

how else would it know what to load

[lament agate]

OHHHHHHHHHHHH

thats why its not working

🥀

[unborn bay]

anyway assert (the function) is just a simple way of error checking something lmao

load_file returns nil and assert detects that

bringing an error

and halts program execution

SMODS.load_file is doing most of the work here

[lament agate]

huh i thought its a way to load another file from another folder

[unborn bay]

you need to run it as a function since it returns a function

[fossil nebula]

Ughhh do i put it in the return?

[lament agate]

hows that

[unborn bay]

without the assert line you basically just do SMODS.load_file(file)()

assert just adds an additional error check

[lament agate]

oh okay

thanks pookie

mwah

is there anything other than jokers that i should split
from main.lua

[coral flume]

Is my mod gonna break if I update steam modded

[primal robin]

50/50

[wintry solar]

Depends on what version you currently have

And what you class as breaking

[lament agate]

@manic rune help me

its literally the right foldername

[rancid flare]

is there a way to make a consumable not disappear when used ?

[hardy viper]

documented at https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Consumable#api-methods

[manic rune]

that means you are loading the file that uses wankers before the file that defines wankers

[lament agate]

how do you define it

[manic rune]

its literally just

wankers = 0

[lament agate]

so i add that

?

[manic rune]

at the top of the file, yeah

[lament agate]

well i add that

idk why its yellow under the rarities

[manic rune]

shouldnt it be a string

[lament agate]

should it?

[manic rune]

yes

[lament agate]

ah damn

[rancid flare]

thx

[manic rune]

:3

i literally cant say ur folder name here

[fossil nebula]

I copied it from the wiki, can someone tell me why this is wrong

[gray void]

The indentation's off?

Also ifs in lua doesnt really use brackets?

Least, thats what i learned of

[daring fern]

No.

[fossil nebula]

Well that's what it is in the wiki

[fossil nebula]

Well so where do i put it?

Im really new to this so i kinda don't know

[royal ridge]

ngl that could be mistaken for code, fair

but it's documentation

[fossil nebula]

If i remove the brackets it's still not working

[daring fern]

Outside of the return.

[royal ridge]

it is not code

[unborn bay]

its what variables are available in context in that context

[fossil nebula]

Oh

that makes sense

thx

[royal ridge]

i mean it's a valid lua table but it doesn't run anything

[rotund sable]

get_weight = function (self, weight, object_type)
    if EF and EF.vars.shovel_voucher then
        return 0.65
    else
        return 0
    end
end

am i doing something wrong or why don't they appear in the shop

fixed it

forgot to add the pools field

[rancid flare]

is there a way to add a new button to a consumable ?

[fossil nebula]

Ok so i still kinda don't get it

If i want the consumeable to be a planet then what will it look like

like the whole context

[red flower]

context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Planet"

[fossil nebula]

It's working

Thx

[manic rune]

how do you create a playing card with SMODS.create_card again
WRONG QUESTION, wheres the code that creates the Ace card in the balatro title screen

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Talisman/blob/main/lovely.toml#L14-L22
That's how talisman applies the gold seal

[manic rune]

i see, thanks

[lament agate]

@manic rune it crashed

[manic rune]

fire

[modern kindle]

👋

[lament agate]

NOT

[manic rune]

doesnt seem like its related to SMODS.load_file, but more of the content of your files

[lament agate]

im confused on which

[lament agate]

also haaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiii

[modern kindle]

Hello

Im deciding if I want to exist

[manic rune]

hi dilly

you should exist.

[modern kindle]

Hi bepis

[gaunt thistle]

agreed

[red flower]

the main menu hook it seems

[modern kindle]

Existing means getting up and figuring out a problem i came across yesterday

[red flower]

hi everyone

[modern kindle]

Hi N

[lament agate]

weird, i load the jokers already

should it not use the joker for the title screen

[lament agate]

haaaaaaiiiii

[red flower]

idk i havent read your code

[lament agate]

guh

hold

function Card:resize(mod, force_save)
    self:hard_set_T(self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w * mod, self.T.h * mod)
    remove_all(self.children)
    self.children = {}
    self.children.shadow = Moveable(0, 0, 0, 0)
    self:set_sprites(self.config.center, self.base.id and self.config.card)
end

local mainmenuref2 = Game.main_menu
Game.main_menu = function(change_context)
    local ret = mainmenuref2(change_context)

    local newcard = Card(G.title_top.T.x, G.title_top.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS.empty,
        G.P_CENTERS.j_tngt_wherethefuck, { bypass_discovery_center = true })
    G.title_top.T.w = G.title_top.T.w * 1.7675
    G.title_top.T.x = G.title_top.T.x - 0.8
    G.title_top:emplace(newcard)
    newcard:start_materialize()
    newcard:resize(1.1 * 1.2)
    newcard.no_ui = true
    return ret
end

[modern kindle]

While im debating getting up do you guys know a way I can check all possible contexts a card could be triggering without allowing it to 'double dip' so to speak

My edition right now works in joker main to deal the bonus effect it has but a large variety of jokers dont trigger in main
Ie lusty joker doesn't trigger in main so my bonus does not apply since it applies its effect while scoring

[red flower]

no idea

[lament agate]

of course

it looks fine

ill delete it for a moment

[oblique wyvern]

Where's pseudorandom defined? Is it a love2d thing or did localthunk make his own random function

[lament agate]

@manic rune got the game working

but no custom jokers

[modern kindle]

i also presume a bunch of context ors is not the wave because dear heavens

[red flower]

i was gonna say post_trigger but it only works on jokers apparently

[modern kindle]

yea that was the issue i ran into

[red flower]

misc_functions.lua iirc

[wintry solar]

I despise post triggers

[modern kindle]

eremel youre a smarty pants do you have any idea of a smooth way i could manage that

[wintry solar]

They epitomise the dev mindset of “do it quickly to make this specific effect work”

[wintry solar]

What does the edition do

[modern kindle]

whatever the card returns it gives it a bonus

ie gros michel give +15 mult, bonus can add 7.5 mult to it resulting in 22.5 mult up to like 37.5

issue is right now with thigns like lusty joker which activate during scoring im not impacting that because its not joker main

i can also provide code if itd be easier

[rancid flare]

is there a way to add a add button to a consumable ?

[wintry solar]

I’d hook calc joker

[modern kindle]

if you mean for me i am doing that

[wintry solar]

Check for the edition and then change the values

[red flower]

yes hook/patch Card:highlight or G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons

[rancid flare]

ok thx but how ?

[red flower]

it's UI so it's kinda advanced

[rancid flare]

dam

[red flower]

this is how i do it
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/c0a24f9ba7e75f51d8ec09f22f12329c7a837cca/src/general_ui.lua#L423

[lament agate]

crashes the game somehow

[rancid flare]

i've seen in your code that you use a function to see if a card is a field spell how does you check for that or where is the function defined ?

[red flower]

i think monsters.lua?

it shouldn't be relevant to you i dont think

you can click on a function on github and it'll tell you where it appears

[red flower]

!postcrash

[rancid flare]

it's beacaus i want to do somthing similar and wanted to see how it was done

[red flower]

is reset_card_picker_selection a thing

[lament agate]

for one of my joker yes

it acts like Ancient Joker

[red flower]

did you define it in a file you're loading after this one?

[autumn brook]

Is there any documentation for custom jokers or templates? The only template i found was for changing existing jokers into a SMOD ones

[lament agate]

do i need to put it in the same lua as the joker?

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

it needs to be defined somewhere and it can't find it

[lament agate]

im dumb

i accidentally cropped the definition

[modern kindle]

am i insane and do things like delayed grat and egg not return dollars or am i simply not checking it correctly

        if ret.dollars then
            if not self.ability.base_dollars then
                self.ability.base_dollars = ret.dollars
            end
            ret.dollars = self.ability.base_dollars * multiplier
        end

trying to print what was changed for delayed grat gives me nothing

[autumn brook]

Hey so i created an custom rarity, and i want to add it to an card. so for example, if the rarity is called 'Test', should the rarity added to the card look like this?
rarity = Test,

[hidden sable]

don't rarities have indexes

[lament agate]

how do you apply an eternal to a joker for a deck

[hidden sable]

idk i've never made a rarity

[hidden sable]

there is a way

[lament agate]

yeah tell me

🥀

[modern kindle]

Ive decided there is no way

[hidden sable]

if you can do it with debugplus

[lament agate]

fair

[hidden sable]

then you can't do it in code i'm sorry

that's just how it is

#debugplus

#iveconsumedlargeampuntsofcocaine

[modern kindle]

Whats an ampunt

[hidden sable]

let it be clear, you will be shot dead in the parking lot behind a target

[modern kindle]

5th time this week

[autumn brook]

i don't know it is my first time even making a rarity 😭

the SMODS.Rarity wiki isn't helping me

[hidden sable]

yo mb i'll bring a knife instead

[autumn brook]

It is erroring me that the } should be next to the badge_colour

why is making rarity so confusing 😭

[hidden sable]

you need commas

[modern kindle]

Shouldn't you have commas after the key, badge color, etc

[hidden sable]

yeah

[autumn brook]

ohhh

i kinda forgot about those

[hidden sable]

are you broke on commas

here take mine ,,,,,,,,

[autumn brook]

yes

thank you

shocked~3

at this point i don't know what am i doing

[red flower]

I recommend getting vscode and the lua extension, it will highlight syntax errors

[copper thorn]

how could i make it so my joker changes the background music ? like Jimball in the cryptid mod

[hidden sable]

that's not vscode then, you aren't a true vscode unless you go in raw

[normal crest]

look at SMODS.Sound in the wiki

[copper thorn]

oh haven't thought of that thanks

it doesn't help tho... i just made my SMODS.Sound thing

doesn't tell me how to do it

[normal crest]

Look at the select_music_track part

[quick kraken]

Does anyone have examples of SMODS tags I can use?

[normal crest]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/tags.lua

[quick kraken]

Oh cool very nice

[rotund sable]

VanillaRemade my beloved

[autumn brook]

if i have to be honest at this point i don't know

it tells me NOTHING

[quick kraken]

Also, is there a way to grab the last blind's reward money in the shop or do I have to make a Lovely patch/a fork to keep a global variable updated with that?

Cause from what I've seen with what tags can do it doesn't appear as if I can store it in a local variable for the tag

[normal crest]

Those are warnings, not errors

You wanna look for red text

Red underlined text

[copper thorn]

what is wrong with my synthax ?

[normal crest]

the = after returm

[copper thorn]

x) thanks

does adding the replace = "music1" will make it so that whenever the song is played it replaces the maain music ?

[normal crest]

it will make it so your sound plays instead of music1

whenever music1 would've normally played

you want something like this inside of your sound object

select_music_track = function(self)
  if next(SMODS.find_card('j_prefix_key')) then
    return 100
  end
end

[glass crown]

how would i check during context.selling_card what type of card the card being sold is?

[normal crest]

also your sound key has to start with music_

[normal crest]

context.card is the card being sold

[glass crown]

got it, thank you

[autumn brook]

Why is the game still revering to the normal joker image when PearTeto.png is in the folder?

[normal crest]

in your joker you have to set atlas = "PearTeto"

[tight hull]

had the same problem (took me abt 15 mins to figure it out...)

[glass crown]

okay this is a much sillier question, but i havent done the balatro modding stuff in a hot minute and i dont think ive ever done this in particular, but how would i check that a card is a specific type of card (in this instance, checking that the sold card is The Sun (or The Star but the "or" part is easy))

[normal crest]

^

[copper thorn]

ok but where ?

[normal crest]

key = "music_world_revol"

also you forgot the j_ in find_card

[copper thorn]

haaaaaa

x)

im not that expereinced with modding balatro excuse my begginer mistakes

[normal crest]

context.card.config.center_key == 'c_sun'

hi bepis

[copper thorn]

so now it works but the song is distoreted... ima look into it don't bother for now other peple might need help

[manic rune]

im trying to figure out

why i cant use messages on cards in mod's menu

the print and juice_up do work

but the message doesnt work, i initially tried using SMODS.calculate_effect({message...}) but it doesnt work so i moved to card_eval_status_text

is it because of how i create my cards?

[glass crown]

thank you!

[normal crest]

calculate_effect just calls card_eval_status_text anyway

[quick kraken]

Ok I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong with this tag

apply = function(self, tag, context)
        if context.type == "entering_shop" then
            if #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit then --and G.GAME.blind.money > 0 then
                SMODS.add_card({set = "personajoker", key_append = "spawn"})
                local func = function()
                    --ease_dollars(-1*G.GAME.blind.money)
                    
                    return true
                end
                tag:yep("+", G.C.MONEY, func)
                tag.triggered = true
            end
        end
    end

Ignore the commented out part because if I can't get the rest to work then it doesn't make sense to investigate that part

I've also tried context.entering_shop

[red flower]

tags have very specific contexts

i don't think that's one

[copper thorn]

So now it works like it should but the song is sloewed down ingame whereas the file itself is not how could i fix that ?

[normal crest]

context.type == 'shop_start'

[quick kraken]

So tags don't have the same contexts as cards

[normal crest]

that's what you're looking for

[manic rune]

yeah, so im just guessing card_eval_status_effect doesnt work in mod menus right now

i tried using SMODS.add_card to add the joker to the cardarea instead, the message still doesnt work

im out of ideas

[red flower]

nope

[quick kraken]

Is that the only thing I'm missing form what you can see?

[normal crest]

try card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, { message = "whatever" })

[manic rune]

i did

it also doesnt do anything

[red flower]

maybe it doesn't work when an overlay is opened

[manic rune]

yeah thats what im thinking too

[red flower]

because it pauses the game (?

[manic rune]

😭

mmm

lemme try checking if it does pause the game or not

[normal crest]

they all should pause the game

[copper thorn]

bump

[manic rune]

yeah thats true, its paused

crap

[quick kraken]

Ok the tag now kinda works

Except now there's a new issue

Trying to use G.GAME.last_blind.money gives nil

[manic rune]

i tried changing it to false, still doesnt seem to work

hm

[autumn brook]

Thank you, but it seems like the rarity does not work still. I am not sure tho how can i add the custom rarity to the joker

[copper thorn]

in the rarity = part of said joker you would wanna put rarity = "[ModPrefix]_Teto"

[quick kraken]

Will I really have to do a lovely patch or a hook for this?

[copper thorn]

and 4 of default weight is alot imo go check https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src (then rarity.lua i think) to see what vanillas default wheights are

[manic rune]

is there ANY mod that tried making a message popup in the mod's menu

😭

i dont even know where to begin with

[red flower]

weight should be a number

[autumn brook]

so without '' ?

[red flower]

yes

[normal crest]

where'd you get last_blind from

[copper thorn]

also x) N' always here to help tbh

[normal crest]

also I don't know why balatro does this

[copper thorn]

oh x)

[normal crest]

and idk enough about music to help you

[copper thorn]

ima look into it then no worries

[copper thorn]

so basically i needed to change the pitch of the song

SMODS defaults it to 0.6 and makes it so that the pitch is the pitch AND the default speed of said music file

so i needed to put pitch = 1 as simple as that

[normal crest]

oh

good to know

[copper thorn]

and the song is played forever until it doens't need to

[pastel kernel]

rarity issue

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/112c96d1289d1a45a37f22ab18d3de7a

im gonna crash out

😭

[normal crest]

if you close the menu do all the messages happen at once

[pastel kernel]

how do i show the rarity name of the joker

[manic rune]

OHHHH

no you are almost right there, it happens behind the UI

[normal crest]

🥴

[manic rune]

i did set G.SETTINGS.paused to false

so i was wondering why it didnt work

ghhh

how do i, even fix this

[normal crest]

just make the scale like 1000

[keen atlas]

G.GAME.previous_round.dollars i think

oh reward?

nvm

[wintry solar]

I imagine you can control the layer in some way

[manic rune]

im aware, but i never tried manipulating layers before

[normal crest]

I'm looking at card_eval_status_text and I can't figure out how to control the layer

[manic rune]

is there an example of a mod doing this 🤔

[wintry solar]

Probably not

[manic rune]

im digging into attention_text too

ghh

damn im COOKED

[lament agate]

gotta be a string

and modprefix_rarityname

[normal crest]

attention_text has this, so I was thinking maybe the 3rd number would correspond to z position? but i'm just guessing lol

idk what all the UI stuff means, only the basics

[wintry solar]

Those would be width and height iirc

[normal crest]

pain

[autumn brook]

Works very well

[quick kraken]

Does SMODS.add_card not account for rarity?

[normal crest]

badge_colour should be HEX('02e364')

[normal crest]

does the card have under_overlay as true

[quick kraken]

I tested a thing 3 times with a custom pool of jokers and 3 times it gave me rares

[normal crest]

or something

[red flower]

it does but if you're using a custom objecttype you need to set it up correctly

[rocky plaza]

real quick, how would i iterate over the cards in hand to count the number of face cards in hand before scoring happens?

[quick kraken]

ah

[red flower]

(idk how)

[manic rune]

i dont think so? this is how i create the cards, shouldnt affect anything

[normal crest]

I mean check with debugplus and try changing it

maybe it does something, dunno

[manic rune]

sure, one sec

[pastel kernel]

busterb_Infamous

[manic rune]

is it just card.under_overlay

[normal crest]

i think so

[quick kraken]

What's vanilla joker rarity weights?

[lament agate]

try that

[manic rune]

its being forced to false it seems

[normal crest]

oh well

[candid sleet]

confused as to what i'm doing wrong here

[red flower]

update smods

[manic rune]

huh, didnt N' make it so you can use pseudorandom_element without randomseed now

[red flower]

yes

[candid sleet]

ohhh ok

i just changed smods version due to multiplayer update maybe i got an older one now

[keen atlas]

under_overlay is set to G.under_overlay and only affects how the element is interacted i think

[manic rune]

mm

[manic rune]

G.under_overlay is also always set to false :3

i just checked

i thought i was onto something but guess not lmfao

[candid sleet]

that fixed things for me thanks

i've been trying to figure out why nothing i've tried today in regards to pseudorandom was working i guess that makes sense now

[manic rune]

yeah you initially needed to use pseudoseed alongside pseudorandom_element

it was something like pseudorandom_element(table, pseudoseed("hi"))

[red flower]

@manic rune

almost

[manic rune]

holy

HOW

you are truly a wizard

[manic rune]

mm

so it seems instance_type has something to do with layers?

[manic rune]

o

never noticed that

[autumn brook]

Hey so after trying to add an custom rarity to the card, hovering the card with the mouse jus crashes the game.

[red flower]

the other problem is that the box just doesnt clear so that might be the pause thing

[manic rune]

might be

you can try setting G.SETTINGS.paused to false and try

[red flower]

the colour should be HEX('02E364')

yep that did it

[autumn brook]

something like this?

[red flower]

yeah i think this works well, idk if it would have any side effects

[manic rune]

N' im forever in your debt after this

😭

forever squared

because im already in your debt

ghh

[red flower]

dont worry you will repay by me stealing ur stuff

[quick kraken]

How does one apply an ObjectType rarity to a Joker?

[manic rune]

rarity = "(mod prefix)_(rarity key)"

[quick kraken]

I mean this

[manic rune]

oh

yeah dunno, never used that before sorry :<

[quick kraken]

Apparently if I generate a random joker through an objecttype I need to redefine rarities to make it respect rarities

[red flower]

idk if this is the issue but the rarity keys are uppercase iirc

or capitalized rather

[quick kraken]

No that's not the issue

I made the rarities and don't know where to put them

Cause this is not an SMODS.Rarity

[wheat jewel]

Trying to make a deck change the suit of every card after beating a boss blind but it doesn't do so, and it only does so at the beginning of the run on the deck, how do I make this work properly. I did try to use pseudorandom to choose a random rank but that didn't work

[red flower]

in the same place with the other rarities?

i dont understand the question

[normal crest]

Should probably pass this through the arguments to not make everything the same layer

[red flower]

of course

[normal crest]

Good to know that's how you change layers tho

[red flower]

decks dont have context.main_eval

[candid sleet]

so this is doing it's job of basically being a higher chance of hitting wheel of fortune but it can seemingly still hit even when all cards have an edition already, causing the game to crash

[lament agate]

huh

[wheat jewel]

would removing that make it work properly?

[wheat jewel]

i could try

[real night]

what page was this

[red flower]

you would need to replace that with not context.individual and not context.repetition iirc

[wheat jewel]

gotcha

i gotta remove the blueprint stuff too

i had the code lying around from a scrapped joker

[lament agate]

SMODS.Back

[quick kraken]

So it would be here?

[red flower]

wheel of fortune doesnt check if there's a valid target because it checks in the can_use function, you would need to

[quick kraken]

In the rarity field?

[wheat jewel]

Is this fine?

[red flower]

yeah

[lament agate]

@red flower the wiki isnt clear enough, what API should i use for spawning negative tag after beating a blind on a deck

[normal crest]

if you're using the latest smods you can just use context.beat_boss

[candid sleet]

so this?

[red flower]

Are you trying to register a new rarity in the objectype or make the vanilla ones work with the objecttype?

[candid sleet]

would i just put it at the end of my joker like in WoF

[quick kraken]

I'm trying to make vanilla joker rarities work with SMODS.add_card specifically with a custom set of jokers

[red flower]

yes but jokers dont have that so you would need to add that check to the calculate logic

[candid sleet]

ah ok

[real night]

ouh

[red flower]

yeah thats why I said the vanilla ones were capitalized

[real night]

anyways how would i get the rank of a scored card

for example like how would i add mult equal to the rank of scored cards

[quick kraken]

card:get_id()

11 is jacks, 12 is queens, 13 is kings, 14 is aces

[red flower]

you would check for the end of round context and then use add_tag(Tag("tag_negative")) (i think thats the key)

[lament agate]

in calculate or apply

[real night]

no i mean kinda like how raised fist does it

[keen atlas]

i forgot instancetype is a thing even though i touched ui several times :(

[red flower]

calculate

[lament agate]

got it

[red flower]

this is how smods does it for normal jokers

[real night]

ig

[candid sleet]

sorry i don't fully understand how you would go about doing this

[quick kraken]

card:get_id() returns a card's rank, where instead of card you should have the specific card you need

usually context.other_card

[red flower]

that return checks if there's a joker with an edition, you would either need to check that or that elegible_card exists

[quick kraken]

I can prop up a mockup of a joker like this if by this you mean that the effect of the joker is something like "This joker gains mult equal to the rank of scored cards"

[real night]

yeah

[tight hull]

how can I use custom colors in {C:color}?

[quick kraken]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual then
        local rank = context.other_card:get_id()
        if rank == 11 or rank == 12 or rank == 13 then
            rank = 10
        end
        if rank == 14 then rank = 11 end
        card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + rank

something like this

And then the return message is "upgraded" or whatever it is depending on how you intend your joker to look

[red flower]

i think card.base.nominal works as well

[quick kraken]

So in that case it would just be card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + context.other_card.base.nominal?

[red flower]

yeah

thats what raised fist does

[quick kraken]

Well that does look much simpler

But if base.nominal didn't exist, that would probably be how I'd do it

[red flower]

you put them in G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS

[mild grove]

i'm trying to get a custom deck to spawn with a negative joker but it's not working

[wispy sparrow]

alright i have no idea what mod that i have enabled is causing the game to crash

[lament agate]

"e_negative"

[red flower]

i dont think you can do that through the config

[mild grove]

ah

[wispy sparrow]

the worst part is that the crash is inconsistent

[red flower]

for crashes when playing i recommend #⚙・modding-general instead

[lament agate]

trying to spawn a joker through a deck, this works fine with vanilla jokers but not modded one

[red flower]

what does it do with modded ones

[lament agate]

it just spawns this joker

negative eternal

[tight hull]

it worked but somehow broke the description?

[lament agate]

this is the vanilla one

[mild grove]

i could be wrong but i think to get modded jokers to spawn you need j__

[lament agate]

2 underscore?

[mild grove]

yeah

[red flower]

how are you doing it, i think you replaced all vanilla ones

[red flower]

which joker

[lament agate]

nah

[mild grove]

ah well, I tried

[tight hull]

like this (yeah this might be the case)

[red flower]

nxkoo........

im going to cry

[lament agate]

y

yeah?

WHAT WHY

WHAT HAPPENED

[red flower]

read the key

[lament agate]

flashbangout?

[red flower]

read it again

[lament agate]

...

im old

[keen atlas]

typo

[red flower]

yeah you need to add it to it, not replace it

[lament agate]

yeah..

thanks for noticing that

i genuinely dont

[red flower]

:3

[lament agate]

imma keep it like that

thunk it out

[tight hull]

how would I do that?

[red flower]

G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.yourkey = colour

although in my mod i do it in a hook so that might crash

[rotund sable]

The link I sent you earlier added them👀

[tight hull]

I didnt understand...

[rotund sable]

-# yes N' it was your hook but with less colors

[autumn brook]

Hey so i have created an early description for the joker, how can i create that the joker gains X3 mult when the hand contains Heart Flush?
Or is there an template i can work of? The only template i can find are for adding, none for multiplying the mult

[rotund sable]

Could've asked.

[tight hull]

needed to go then anyways

thats why im asking now

[rotund sable]

So the G.C.EF = part is defining a table of colors I use elsewhere in the mod

EF is my mod prefix

Then in the later part

You just assign them

[tight hull]

thats the part that I didnt undarstend

[lament agate]

oh thats new what the hell

[rotund sable]

You can just copy paste that and replace/add the line with this ^ format

[lament agate]

what happened here

[tight hull]

what...

I feel so stupid now

like ur explaining the basics and I still dont get them

[rotund sable]

I don't think it's basics

https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/129557-tutorial-function-hooking-and-you/

Tutorial I saw being sent here ^

Ok so here we assign the old function to a local variable and then we override it.

-- https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/main/src/globals.lua#L71
local loc_colour_ref = loc_colour 
function loc_colour(_c, _default)
    if not G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS then
        loc_colour_ref()
    end
    G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.ef_plant = G.C.EF.PLANT

    return loc_colour_ref(_c, _default)
end

The first if is checking if the colors aren't there we call the old function to assign them

[manic rune]

never noticed it but why does the first loc_colour_ref not have the arguments

[rotund sable]

After that if we assign our own colors. In this case ef_plant is my color I later use as {C:ef_plant}

[formal parrot]

Bepis

[manic rune]

🤔

[rotund sable]

You can look at the source code but iirc there was an if check in the code and if the arg was nil it assign the colors there

Or something like that

[tight hull]

I saw many colors in your code, why do you assign only one? the rest isnt used for now?

[rotund sable]

Then the return is back to the original function that handles the rest

[rotund sable]

I don't use those colors in text

[tight hull]

It makes sense now

[rotund sable]

I use them for badges

[tight hull]

ohhh

[tight hull]

---@diagnostic disable-next-line: lowercase-global whats that for?

[rotund sable]

The lsp

Just so I don't get a warning

You can treat it as a comment

Lsp (language server protocol) is in simpler terms a program that checks for errors in the code

[rotund sable]

For example

    set_badges = function(self, card, badges)
                 badges[#badges+1] = create_badge('Idea Credit: plantform', G.C.EF.IDEA_CREDIT, G.C.BLACK, 0.8 )
         end,

Ok I have to go now

Gl

[tight hull]

thnx for the help

Cus that call is just to ensure the table is instantiated

[manic rune]

oh my god this FINALLY WORKS

[manic rune]

hi heaven

[brittle yacht]

    vol = 1,
    pitch = 1,
    key = "music_spamton",
    path = "music_spamton.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,
})

how do i make a version of this that plays for regular (small, big) blinds + another version for boss blinds?

[brittle yacht]

this replaces the shop music while you have a specific joker, for context

[faint yacht]

Check G.GAME.blind.name.

[brittle yacht]

mmk

[autumn brook]

bump

[fossil nebula]

Is there any easy way to make a joker that when card is scored and it's a queen it changes to king and vice verse

[manic rune]

god this is so nice 🥀

[manic rune]

you gotta return stuff in loc_vars

[autumn brook]

wdym?

[manic rune]

use SMODS.change_base

[manic rune]

returning stuffs in loc_vars changes #1#, #2#,... to a number/string

else it will always be nil as shown in your image

[foggy ginkgo]

What's the glass breaking sound called

[midnight coyote]

how do i nab the rarity of a joker

[brittle yacht]

    vol = 1,
    pitch = 1,
    key = "music_spamton1",
    path = "music_spamton1.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return (next(SMODS.find_card("j_silly_spambot")) and string.len(G.GAME.blind.name) > 0 = true
    end,
})```

i probably failed here

lol

im new to balatro modding

[faint yacht]

Remove the first ( and = true at the end.

[autumn brook]

Why is there an () ?

[faint yacht]

-# Quite frankly, also new to Lua in general, huh.

[brittle yacht]

    vol = 1,
    pitch = 1,
    key = "music_spamton1",

like that?

damn

are we ignoring the NSFW link

L spam

[brittle yacht]

anyway im assuming this should run?

[fossil nebula]

Thx

oh and one more thing

how do i detect and refer to a specific card?

[brittle yacht]

    vol = 1,
    pitch = 1,
    key = "music_spamton1",
    path = "music_spamton1.ogg",
    select_music_track = function()
        return (next(SMODS.find_card("j_silly_spambot")) and string.len 'G.GAME.blind.name' > 0
    end,
})```

[fossil nebula]

and how could i prevent it from doing it 2 times to the same card

that it changes back from what it was

[faint yacht]

...you removed the wrong brackets.

[brittle yacht]

mb

[faint yacht]

return next(SMODS.find_card("j_silly_spambot")) and string.len(G.GAME.blind.name) > 0

    vol = 1,
