Where can I enable it?

god i hate that there are no docs for this

give me a sec

[trail tide]

Yeah, lack of documentation is pretty annoying

[rocky plaza]

I just looked here and apparently perma bonuses support negative values so just set the perma_bonus such that the bonus cancels the base chip values i guess?

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

[trail tide]

Yay it works thanks 🥳

[brave blade]

Where do I get the base chip value from?

[timid zinc]

thanks!

[rocky plaza]

card.base.nominal

[brave blade]

So it looks like that works, but I'd rather have it not add the chips at all than add them and subtract them again

[rocky plaza]

hmm, maybe have the joker go through the played cards, set card.ability.extra.give_no_chips = true
then hook Card.get_chip_bonus so that if card.ability.extra.give_no_chips then return 0 otherwise call the original function

[brave blade]

That's kind of what I was thinking I would do

[rocky plaza]

yeah i cant think of a better solution

[cursive gazelle]

my cursor is gone

rip

[rocky plaza]

rest in peach s' cursor 20?? - 2025

[cursive gazelle]

no seriously my cursor don't show up ingame

help !

its obs

i knew it

[rocky plaza]

i swear obs working properly is like a wheel of fortune 1 in 4

[proven belfry]

how do I make a specific consumable rarer in the shop (not impossible to find)

[proven belfry]

"Nope!"
"Nope!"
"Nope!"
"Nope!"

[frosty rampart]

consumables don't seem to have an individual shop rate unfortunately; what's your use case?

[slow nymph]

hey so is this where we post errors?

[proven belfry]

making a minecraft-themed joker that upgrades via ore consumables, want stuff like diamonds to be rarer

[proven belfry]

ye

[slow nymph]

ok so

this happens when i look at macarons

[proven belfry]

oh i thought you meant for your own mod

[slow nymph]

no

[proven belfry]

that goes in #⚙・modding-general

[slow nymph]

ahhhhhh

oops

my bad

[frosty rampart]

hm, i see. you might want to just make a couple of different ConsumableTypes with different shop rates but have the same visual appearance, although then that gives them separate boxes in the collection. the other route is probably a lovely patch or hook of some sort into the shop code, which is kinda messy imo

[proven belfry]

its fine

im ok with same rarity if thats the case

[ocean sinew]

I would like to add rarity to consumables in my library where I would hook shop?

[frosty rampart]

i have no clue tbh, i was just brainstorming when i said that

[ocean sinew]

oh 😔

my lib is almost done

implementing scaling modifiers caused a lot of problems which I had to fix

[proven belfry]

how would I make an overlay pulse on a random consumable like the soul? looked at vremade and it doesn't show how to customize the overlay image

[red flower]

look at hologram for how to do it and the soul for how the effect is coded

[vernal path]

This crashes, which seems weird, right? local playing_card = pseudorandom_element(G.playing_cards, 'ugly')

[red flower]

whats the crash

[vernal path]

it says it's expecting a table but recieving nil

[red flower]

pls send log

and code if possible

[vernal path]

oh, wait no it's crashing on local random_enhancement = pseudorandom_element(enhancement_pool, 'edit_card_enhancement')

[proven belfry]

also made a consumable hidden so that it cant be shown in shop (i want it to only be spawnable via another consumable which creates 2 of the hidden one's type) and it wont be created by the spawner consumable, is there a fix or do I just have to make it unhidden

line 289 is the local random_enhancement line

[proven belfry]

so copy the soul pulsing code and put it inside soul_pos = {}?

[red flower]

in the card that spawns it set key_append = "some_unique_string" and in the consumable's in_pool check for args and args.source == "some_unique_string" and unhide it

[red flower]

yeah, in the draw function

[red flower]

enhancement_pool doesnt exist

[vernal path]

right, im stupit, hang on

[proven belfry]

i dont have an in_pool for the hidden consumable

[red flower]

make one=

[red flower]

there's a function to poll a random enhancement

[vernal path]

oh?

[vernal path]

ah

[proven belfry]

is it in_pool or pools{}

[red flower]

in_pool

[proven belfry]

the game is crashing when I look at the card, here's the code

[red flower]

you wouldnt use G.shared_soul there because that's the soul sprite
but also I have literally no idea about graphics code so I can't help more on this sorry lol

[proven belfry]

would anyone here be so kind as to tell me what i would actually use

[slim ferry]

oh youre trying to do the soul sprite thing?

[proven belfry]

ye

[slim ferry]

well the graphics code there is specifically if you want the unique animation that the floating sprite of the soul does

[proven belfry]

i copied it from vremade and the game crashed

code

[slim ferry]

you can just remove the draw function if you want the normal floaty

like legendaries and stuff have

[proven belfry]

i don want the normal floaty

i want pulsing

[slim ferry]

okay well im not a graphics guy

so then idk

[vernal path]

@red flower My sticker code is crashing specifically when viewing in the collection trying to index jokers. Is there a good way to disable all the code if its just viewing in the collection?

SMODS.Sticker {

[proven belfry]

how do i check for args and args.source

[charred widget]

Hello again friends, I come with a request to help me make a slight overhaul of a joker i made

[proven belfry]

greetings chum, i accept thy request

[charred widget]

Thank you quite much. To begin, I have the source code here for you to work with

[proven belfry]

whatre ya tryna do

[charred widget]

Right now, this joker creates a negative death card for each hand played

[proven belfry]

that sounds incredibly unbalanced and I love it

[charred widget]

and hopefully with this overhaul i can balance it

[proven belfry]

nooooooooo 😭

[charred widget]

I'd like for it instead to check for a single card discarded, destroy said card, and then create the negative death card

[proven belfry]

i think that should be possible-ish

[slim ferry]

yeah thats just trading card but with some tweaks

should be pretty simple

[charred widget]

exactly!

[proven belfry]

i made a joker that upgrades by x0.25 mult per discarded card

[slim ferry]

hit the road if it was good

[proven belfry]

have you looked in vremade

[brave blade]

Is there a way to ban a card enhancement? I know I can ban its tarot card, but I also want to ensure it doesn't show up in packs, from incantation/familiar/grim, etc.

[charred widget]

?

whats that lol

[slim ferry]

vanillaremade

[proven belfry]

vanilla remade

[charred widget]

oh right

[proven belfry]

holy bible for modding

[vernal path]

hit the road if it was appropriate on stream

[brave blade]

Vanilla Remade is a mod that features all of the vanilla jokers, decks, consumables, etc. recreated as an SMODS mod

[slim ferry]

FOR REAL

[proven belfry]

smods wiki is the 10 commandments

[charred widget]

where can i get it?

[proven belfry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/tree/main/src

[slim ferry]

i never download it tbh i just open it in my browser when i need it

because then its also like

[proven belfry]

same

[slim ferry]

always up to date

[brave blade]

I have it downloaded and in my VSCode workspace because then I don't have to exit and I can also search through it much easier

[frigid cargo]

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

    weight = 0.9,
    cost = 4,
    kind = "BTCTPack",
    
    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        ease_background_colour(HEX("ffffff"))
        return SMODS.create_card({
            set = "Batrocities",
            area = G.pack_cards,
            skip_materialize = true,
            soulable = false,
        })
    end,
    select_card = 'jokers',

    in_pool = function() return true end
}

Why does it just crash my game?

[slim ferry]

because thats like not what a pack looks like at all

needs something like this

[frigid cargo]

then how does the other pack work

[slim ferry]

ease background colour is its own thing

everything else is fine though

i think

[frigid cargo]

    weight = 0.6,
    cost = 4,
    kind = "ShapePack",
    
    create_card = function(self, card, i)
        ease_background_colour(HEX("cc3b49"))
        return SMODS.create_card({
            set = "Shape",
            area = G.pack_cards,
            skip_materialize = true,
            soulable = false,
        })
    end,
    select_card = 'jokers',

    in_pool = function() return true end
}

then how does this pack work?

[slim ferry]

no clue

but also

please use vanillaremade for reference

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

[frigid cargo]

ok

[slim ferry]

other mods are often going to have like

confusing shit

since ease_background_colour isnt a function that exists i assume they just made it themselves so its easier

[frigid cargo]

ah ok thanks

[proven belfry]

holy synergy

[charred widget]

is it still possible you could make those tweaks for me? I don't really know how to implement the code from vremade without it breaking stuff

[proven belfry]

sure

[charred widget]

tysm!!

[frigid cargo]

how can i make my own color using hex code?

[brave blade]

Is there a way to ban a card enhancement? I know I can ban its tarot card, but I also want to ensure it doesn't show up in packs, from incantation/familiar/grim, etc.

[slim ferry]

you can just put HEX("<some color code>") directly into the pack colours or define a colour somewhere like in the image

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[cursive gazelle]

thought i show here if someone has a question on how i did stuff

[slim ferry]

have you tried adding the key to G.GAME.banned_keys yet?

[proven belfry]

this should work

[brave blade]

Yeah, I tried adding 'm_bonus' but it just ignores that

[charred widget]

tysm!!!!!

[proven belfry]

no prob

[slim ferry]

you shouldnt really be afraid to break stuff imo

fucking around and breaking shit is where you learn a lot of stuff

like what you can and cant do

[proven belfry]

but i have ptsd from seeing the funny "Oops! The game crashed."

[slim ferry]

ive seen it so many times

and if i cant figure it out i just ask here

[brave blade]

Yeah, at least give it a try, and if you get an error and can't figure it out then post here

[slim ferry]

which is also how i learned a lot of stuff

[charred widget]

i meant like crashes and stuff

[slim ferry]

yeah i know

crashes really arent that bad

[brave blade]

Yep, I've seen lots of crashes

[slim ferry]

they happen a lot when you make mods

[brave blade]

You won't figure out how to prevent crashes if you don't crash the game a few times

[slim ferry]

and its how you find issues most of the time

also that yeah

[proven belfry]

when I made my first balatro mod I used chatgpt

make fun of me

[brave blade]

If you're doing something that messes with save data then you might want to backup your save, but other than that you should be fine

[proven belfry]

can i make it so that a consumable type only spawns if a certain joker is present

[charred widget]

hold up

game crashed

[proven belfry]

hmm

what does the crash say

[proven belfry]

are you using vscode

vscode shows syntax errors

[charred widget]

yes

[proven belfry]

might be missing something, like an end or smth

maybe a comma

[charred widget]

the syntax errors are red yeah?

[slim ferry]

yeah they are

[charred widget]

well i'm not seeing any

[proven belfry]

something on line 65 in your code is up

[frigid elm]

I have a smol question- is it possible to prevent money (or any number really) from being updated at all?

Like, losing money from the Ox, or gaining money from the end of a blind, none of that gets removed or added, and have the money be treated as effectively 0 since the money is frozen.

[charred widget]

yeah i'm looking at line 65 but nothing seems wrong

[vernal path]

you forgot an end stickmin

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
            local created_consumable = true

                    if #context.full_hand == 1 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then

                    if c.config.center.key == "c_death" then     -- if the key is c_death, then it is a Death card
                        death_count = death_count + 1            -- increment count by 1
                    end
                end
            end
            return {
                xmult = (1 + 0.2 * death_count),     -- again, 1 + 0.1 * death_count
                message = created_consumable and localize('k_plus_tarot') or nil
            }
        end
    end
}

fixed it

[proven belfry]

ah, of course

[charred widget]

oh cool

[proven belfry]

im dum

[vernal path]

(it was the end to the func function in the event)

[charred widget]

ok cool

[vernal path]

always format your code, and if it doesnt then that means you are missing a bracket or an end or something

[charred widget]

it works

thanks for your help

[vernal path]

in vs code just right click a selection and hit format selection, or format document

[lament agate]

can i not put if statement inside of return?

[charred widget]

nevermind it doesn't work

[charred widget]

it just didn't crash

[slim ferry]

what is it not doing right

[charred widget]

it's now completely broken what

it doesn't destroy the one card discarded and it doesn't create a negative death

[vernal path]

i think the code to spawn the tarot is probably broken, it doesnt look like anything ive seen before

[slim ferry]

also get rid of G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 thats like completely unrelated to what youre doing idk why he put that there

also yeah

that consumable creation code is

something else

doing context checks in the event???

what

also joker_main??

[proven belfry]

mb, copied it from sixth sense cuz esz wanted it to be first hand played

sorry @charred widget

[slim ferry]

sixth sense removes cards 😭

also its

discards

when discarding a single card

i think

[proven belfry]

no its hands

[foggy ginkgo]

How do I detect the amount of a certain suit being destroyed

[charred widget]

yeah i did want it to destroy a single card discarded

[long sun]

if self.config and self.config.func and (((self.config.button_UIE or self.config.button) and self.config.func ~= 'set_button_pip') or self.config.insta_func) then G.FUNCS[self.config.func](self) end

for what reasons might this line be causing this crash?

[charred widget]

and not necessarily the first discard

[proven belfry]

oh mb

[slim ferry]

okay let me cook something up

[charred widget]

ok thanks you

also i will be putting everyone helping me in a special thanks section in the mod

[proven belfry]

bump

[proven belfry]

again sry about botching the joker

[charred widget]

hey it's no big deal

[cursive gazelle]

thats so wholesome of you

[charred widget]

i quite literally couldn't have done this without their help

[frigid elm]

Hmmm

Idk if anyone knows this, but what should I look at if there's a place that all of Balatro points to for updating dollars?

Like ease_dollars() but, i dunno if modifying that function with a hook (if im using that term properly) is going to help with preventing money being updated

[red flower]

yes

unless something it's updating G.GAME.dollars directly

[foggy ginkgo]

How do I detect #context.removed for suits

[frigid cargo]

ease_background_colour = function(self)
        ease_colour(G.C.DYN_UI.MAIN, HEX("cc3b49"))
    end,

is this correct?

[brave blade]

What mod are you making? Is it random jokers for fun or is there a theme?

[frigid elm]

I plan on adding a Joker that freezes your money, so I need to figure out a way if that Joker is present, just don't ease_dollars() at all

[charred widget]

funny you should mention that, your pfp gives you a hint

[red flower]

context.removed is a list of cards, you would iterate through it and count the suits

[brave blade]

Lol, is it a Pokermon addon? Or maybe a standalone Pokemon mod?

[frigid cargo]

It doesnt change color

[charred widget]

not really, it's just my own pokemon themed mod, mostly legendaries

[brave blade]

Oh, cool!

[charred widget]

and a majority of them don't have effects yet, so if you have any ideas throw them at me

[brave blade]

Which ones are you planning to implement?

[foggy ginkgo]

So like this

[brave blade]

(We should probably head over to #⚙・modding-general actually)

[charred widget]

aighty

[foggy ginkgo]

Actually this detecting the amount and if it includes a heart

[red flower]

if that's what you want to do then yes that's correct

you dont need card = card

[frigid elm]

I've now also kinda realized that even if I'm able to prevent the money from being updated, how the hell could I tell the game that I technically have zero dollars? Preventing money from being updated could be super OP so it has to be balanced out by not being able to buy stuff from the shop

[foggy ginkgo]

I want to do it for every heart

[frigid elm]

-# besides, that's exactly how it works in the game of the Joker's origin lol

[red flower]

then instead of returning in the middle of the loop, keep a counter and then at the end return the dollar amount multiplied by that counter

[foggy ginkgo]

How would that be done

[frigid cargo]

Why doesnt it change color?

[proven belfry]

how can I make boosters act like showman is applied (specifically consumable cards already in the consumable slot can spawn)

[slim ferry]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.discard and #context.full_hand == 1 then
        if #G.consumeables.cards + G.GAME.consumeable_buffer < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
            G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    SMODS.add_card({
                        key = "c_death",
                        key_append = "idk" --you can put like anything here, allows for finding the source of the card creation so make it something intuitive
                    })
                    G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                    return true
                end
            }))
            SMODS.calculate_effect({ message = localize("k_plus_tarot"), colour = G.C.purple }) --message can be anything, this is just the +1 tarot text
        end
        return {
            remove = true
        }
    end
end

this should work if i did it correctly

[charred widget]

alright cool

[frigid elm]

I think the best approach for this; while it may be hacky as all hell, I could have it so that I could hook into a couple of functions, one for updating money, another to ensure that your actual money is set to 0, and one more for the money rendering thingyabob

So the Freezer Joker would store the current amount of money and silently sets your money to 0, and force the game to render the money as the Freezer's stored value rather than your actual money and once the Joker is destroyed in any way, the Joker silently gives it back to you

[proven belfry]

bump

[slim ferry]

i may be stupid

hold on

okay idk tbh

when does the crash happen

[frigid cargo]

why does the background not change?

[charred widget]

it crashed when i discarded a single card

[slim ferry]

i forgot, you need both ease_colour (to change ui edges) and ease_background_colour_blind (to change background swirl)

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[slim ferry]

i cant figure this one out tbh

idk where card would be nil

[charred widget]

we may need get this peer reviewed

[slim ferry]

mayhaps!

[proven belfry]

how do I permanently subtract the amount of joker slots by 1 and check if there is at least one joker slot open in a consumable

[charred widget]

@vernal path sorry to ping you out of the blue but me and Eris are having a hard time figuring out a crash

[cursive gazelle]

if its a custom consumeable you need to use moprefix,

[slim ferry]

its

death is a vanilla card

as shrimple as that

[vernal path]

can you post the full lovely log or at least the full crash report so i can see where it's indexing the card?

[vernal path]

just do control c

and paste it

[charred widget]

oh

[slim ferry]

lmao 😭

[vernal path]

and also the current full joker code

[slim ferry]

this makes me realize that i forgot some stuff lmao

but after we solve the crash

[long sun]

(bump)

[vernal path]

try commenting out line 68, by adding -- to the beginning of the line

its crashing there, which is strange and i think may be a symptom of something else but im not really in programming mode rn

[charred widget]

ok

oh that fixed it

[vernal path]

weird af

[slim ferry]

huh

what was line 68 again

[vernal path]

it was just the message

[slim ferry]

huhh

wierd

[vernal path]

oh wait what does calculate_effect() take in as arguments

does it take 3 arguments

[slim ferry]

i just did the exact same message as the vanillaremade cartomancer

[charred widget]

ok so its not crashing anymore but there are still two problems

[slim ferry]

yeah i

forgot to make it negative lmao

mb

[rocky plaza]

oh i think the middle arg is supposed to be the scoring card

[slim ferry]

and i forgot the xmult

[rocky plaza]

yeah 3 args

[slim ferry]

give me a moment

[vernal path]

thats what i figured

[charred widget]

yeah exactly what i was about to mention

[vernal path]

just gotta pass in the tarot being created as the second arg

[frigid cargo]

[charred widget]

aight cool

[slim ferry]

also i would change the description to also use the xmult gain as a variable

because thats easier and also how vanilla jokers are phrased

and uh

you have 2 variables in the config that do nothing

[proven belfry]

is -1 joker slot for 2 random spectrals bad

if so what would be good

[slim ferry]

thats ASS

-1 joker slot is a HUGE price

the effect would have to be insane

idk what though

if u still want the message

[proven belfry]

$50 and +1 consumable slot as well then

[rocky plaza]

at least i think u can return message there

[slim ferry]

put ```lua instead at the top so it does lua stuff```

[rocky plaza]

oh neat didnt know that

[charred widget]

crashed

[slim ferry]

the message crashed

aaand i forgot an end

i think

[rapid stag]

bump - if anyone has a very custom generate_ui() on their joker and is willing to let me take a peek, so i can get an idea as to how i can write my own,, please let me know.

i know that @hushed field has a few, but i haven't seen them here in a while

[slim ferry]

okay yeah

after the return for joker_main

[charred widget]

there actually was a syntax error, the curly bracket at the very top was red but i fixed it mysefl

[slim ferry]

add an end

[rocky plaza]

look at JoyousSpring, i think its jokers has custom joker ui

[slim ferry]

[lament agate]

can you put a toggle to enable and disable a file from loading in your mod?

[worthy stirrup]

thank you

[proven belfry]

look at ConsumableType

[slim ferry]

just comment out the lines

if you want to stop something from loading

[lament agate]

well i want it to be toggleable

thats why

dont worry, its not for these

[slim ferry]

oh like a config?

[proven belfry]

for the person playing the mod or you

[lament agate]

players

[lament agate]

yep

[slim ferry]

if statement for each file 🔥

thats my best idea

[charred widget]

which line would that be?

[lament agate]

fair

[rocky plaza]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-functions

[slim ferry]

after the xmult gets returned

[rocky plaza]

docs on config menus

[rapid stag]

joyousspring starts its generate ui function with SMODS.Center.generate_ui() which creates the normal joker tooltip, and then appends onto that/alters accordingly.

i'm talking about writing one entirely from scratch using UI code starting from the generate_ui() call in the joker without using SMODS.Center.generate_ui() like balatro goes kino's 2001 joker

[proven belfry]

can anyone figure out why the game is crashing when I select this card

[slim ferry]

i think its SMODS.add_card and not SMODS:add_card

[charred widget]

idk if i did it right because it still crashed

[slim ferry]

probably undo whatever you did at that bracket before

[rocky plaza]

ohhh, ok then i dont know of any other mods that do what I think you want (other than the one u mentioned) sry

[charred widget]

but that ends up as a syntax error at the very beginning

the bracket turns red

[slim ferry]

uhhhh..........,,,,,,,,,,,,,

show screenshot

[rocky plaza]

besides syntax errors, I have one quick question: Do you want to give xmult based on the number of deaths you have (like 1 + deaths * 1.2) or do you want them to give xmult like observatory?

[slim ferry]

you didnt close SMODS.Joker

😭

[charred widget]

bro thats what i was talking about

[slim ferry]

oh

[charred widget]

that was the bracket i put in to fix it

[slim ferry]

i thought you removed something

[lament agate]

do i need to load my config using config.lua?

[slim ferry]

OH i see the issue

i think

[charred widget]

btw i probably put an end in the wrong spot

[slim ferry]

yeah

i meant like

[worthy stirrup]

I forget, is it title that I need to fix this

[slim ferry]

after the return table gets closed

[rocky plaza]

config.lua is where u set up the basic structure and options

[slim ferry]

just a second end before the last one

[charred widget]

alribght

[slim ferry]

but also this end was supposed to be after this return

messed that up

[rocky plaza]

in misc.dictionary, you need a "b_{consumable type}_cards" = "{consumable type} Cards"

[proven belfry]

why is this crashing the game

[slim ferry]

when does it crash

[proven belfry]

that line

[slim ferry]

well

yeah

but when in the game

[proven belfry]

when I use the consumable, this is in use = function()

[charred widget]

Eris it crashed again

[slim ferry]

augh

[charred widget]

and its the same crash log the last two times

it's been saying stuff about line 62 and line 59

[slim ferry]

do what i just sent here

that is a big issue that i missed

[charred widget]

this?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[charred widget]

ok

[slim ferry]

OH

uh

yeah

nvm

nothing

[charred widget]

??

[slim ferry]

i was stupid

i thought too fast

[charred widget]

can't say the same myself

crashed again

[slim ferry]

same thing?

[charred widget]

yep

it's saying something about lines 28, 59, and 62

wait

hold on

whatever this means

[slim ferry]

can you screenshot the entire file

so i can see the lines

[rocky plaza]

1: do you have talisman installed
2: someone correct me if im wrong, but i believe that to_big returns a table

[worthy stirrup]

How could I edit this so it shows a joker?

G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards] and {n = G.UIT.O, config = {align = "cm", object = Card(0,0, 0.5*G.CARD_W, 0.5*G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS[G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].config.card_key], G.P_CENTERS['c_base'])}} or nil,

[slim ferry]

to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end:

[slim ferry]

the line 28 thing might be that it should be info_queue and not info

[charred widget]

"it" being?

[slim ferry]

info

in the function for the loc_vars

[rocky plaza]

oh my god wait i have to replace all the info with info_queue
athough it still worked with info in my loc_vars functions lmao

[slim ferry]

huh

[rocky plaza]

param names dont matter i guess

only the order

[charred widget]

wait so replace all of the instances of "info" with "info_queue"

[slim ferry]

i mean apparently if what i hear now is correct that shouldnt be the issue

[rocky plaza]

i mean if u want to be consistent with other mods then yeah i guess

[slim ferry]

but you should still do that probably yeah

[rocky plaza]

yeah my mod shows the tooltip correctly and my code looks like this

gonna change it tho

[charred widget]

alright changed all the instances of "info" into "info_queue" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it crashed again

same logs

[rocky plaza]

yeah i figured it didnt change much

is it still a syntax error?

[charred widget]

"expected [to close '{' at line 59] near 'key_append'

[rocky plaza]

oh yeah

ok send the lua file then

[slim ferry]

i should probably be doing less of this since its past 1:30 for me lmao

bit tired

[charred widget]

yeah atp go to bed

[rocky plaza]

yo i think i fixed it

[charred widget]

yo cool

[proven belfry]

yes i have talisman

[slim ferry]

i missed the comma omg

[charred widget]

the vscode setup stuff is on the smods wiki

is this a better upside to curse

[rocky plaza]

well this has the lsp setup info as well

[slim ferry]

oh nvm i mixed up the wikis

[slim ferry]

entropy has this and its still just decent

[proven belfry]

so yes???

[slim ferry]

i would say

needs more long-term benefit

[proven belfry]

what if it makes a negative tag (which i dunno how to do)

[rocky plaza]

huh, maybe instead of 2 random spectrals u get like some number of vouchers or something

[proven belfry]

idk how to give vouchers

maybe a negative rare jonkler

[final moss]

is there a way to add another box to put cards in? like jokers, consumables, make another one

[proven belfry]

idk lol

cryptid does it

[slim ferry]

no it doesnt??

[rocky plaza]

as in a new card area?

[slim ferry]

cryptid doesnt add any card areas

[proven belfry]

i thought it did

[rocky plaza]

its been done before i think but i dont know how to do it nor which mods do so

[slim ferry]

multiplayer does it

[final moss]

thanks everyone

[slim ferry]

thats all i can think of

[final moss]

also no cryptid doesn't do it i don't think

[rocky plaza]

i think ur thinking of new consmable types lol

[proven belfry]

no i saw a video of cryptid i think and it had jokers consumables and another thing

[rocky plaza]

oh ur thinking of merging consumables with playing cards

hammerspace does that

makes all playing cards a random consumable

[proven belfry]

no it was another slot type thing

[slim ferry]

huh

thats not cryptid then though

[rocky plaza]

??? i dont know what kinda cryptid u've been seeing

[slim ferry]

probably just another mod since a lot of cryptid content creators feel the need to install 3 trillion other mods

[brave blade]

I know Maximus does it for sure with its Horoscope cards

#💻・modding-dev message

[final moss]

no explanation or anything... i'll figure it out, though. thanks

i mean if you have questions about it feel free to ask

[final moss]

are you referring to other functions and variables in the files? because just copying and pasting doesn't work, it crashes

(obviously replaicng the name of your mod with my own)

i am making some progress.

[proven belfry]

my game keeps crashing when i play my mod w multiplayer

it doesnt like G.GAME.consumeables

any fix to this?

[red flower]

yeah, i think you can just cut all of that

:3

[proven belfry]

no fix?

[red flower]

G.GAME.consumeables is not a thing i dont think

[proven belfry]

specifically G.GAME.consumeables.cards

it worked before i installed multiplayer

[red flower]

dunno

G.consumeables.cards is a thing

[proven belfry]

hmmmm

but last i tried, the cards that checked it did nothing

is set = "Consumeables" valid

i have it on a joker that makes a random consumable at start of round

[buoyant shard]

I need to hook Card:flip() so a joker can gain mult every time a card flips but I don't know how to do that correctly

[daring fern]

local oldcardflip = Card.flip
function Card:flip()
    if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then
        SMODS.calculate_context({modprefix_card_flipped = true, card = self})
    end
    return oldcardflip(self)
end
``` Then use `context.modprefix_card_flipped`

[buoyant shard]

yeah imma just paste that in and credit you

thanks

[frosty rampart]

yea that's the best way to do it
although Card:flip() doesn't actually return anything, so you should be able to just call oldcardflip(self) without returning it

[daring fern]

No.

[buoyant shard]

Balatro crashes when I select a deck. Did I not update to the new version of steammodded or something?

[frigid cargo]

I think that means something is calling a context on the main menu.

would that happen to be the function you hooked for me earlier?

[daring fern]

Perhaps, but I updated the message to fix it.

"or card.ability.extra.xmult" in case high card is played, works or nah?

 local total_xmult = (card.ability.extra.stockpile * card.ability.extra.xmult) or card.ability.extra.xmult

```lua

    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
        card.ability.extra.stockpile = card.ability.extra.stockpile * 2
        local total_xmult = (card.ability.extra.stockpile * card.ability.extra.xmult) or card.ability.extra.xmult
        if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand] then
            card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
            play_sound('holo1', 1, 0.5)
            return {
                xmult = total_xmult

        end
        return {
            message = "Stockpiling X" .. total_xmult .. "!",

[rare phoenix]

How does SMODS.destroy_cards work? I'm trying to destroy a joker but the documentation is kinda unclear

[red flower]

you give it the card and it destroys the card

what's unclear

[rare phoenix]

all it says is

    Destroys any type of cards given to the function appropriately, with respect to further calculations if called during the scoring loop.
    cards - Can be an individual Card object, or a table of Card objects.

im not sure where i would put the key of the card

[red flower]

well, you wouldn't
it takes a card object or a table of card objects, not keys

[rare phoenix]

how do i specify a card object then?

[red flower]

it would be easier if you tell me what you want to do and where

[rare phoenix]

im trying to make a consumable that destroys one specific joker and replaces it with another

so far all i have is for i = 1, #G.jokers.highlighted do G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ trigger = 'after', delay = 0.1, func = function() if G.jokers.highlighted[i] == card then SMODS.destroy_cards({cards = "j_rwn_rylen"}) SMODS.add_card({ set = "Joker", key = "rowan"}) end return true end })) end

im certain im missing something just dont know what

[red flower]

well, first G.jokers.highlighted[i] will probably never be equal to card because card is the consumable

[rare phoenix]

oh

[red flower]

you want to check if G.jokers.highlighted[i].config.center.key == "j_rwn_rylen" and then do SMODS.destroy_cards(G.jokers.highlighted[i])

[rare phoenix]

oh cool

thanks

How do you level up high card specifically?

Hello?

[proven belfry]

have you looked at vremade

[frigid cargo]

me fr

[daring fern]

return {level_up = true, level_up_hand = "High Card"}

[pastel kernel]

Context for specific played card

[rare phoenix]

so this might be a dumb question but i cant find anywhere that lists all of the conditions for the event manager

[pastel kernel]

does this work?

        -- if played hand is a high card, level up hand to 60, then set not_played to false, so that played hand does not get leveled up again
        if context.before and context.scoring_name == "High Card" and card.ability.extra.not_played and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.not_played = false
            return {
                level_up = 60,
                level_up_hand = 'High Card',
                message = localize('k_level_up_ex')
            }
        end

CURRENT PRIORITY: Making sure Spinel gives xmult on a high card.

Chosen solution: I MADE SPINEL UPGRADE HIGH CARD BY 60 LEVELS.

[daring fern]

Yes, but level_up_hand is not needed because it will always be high card.

[pastel kernel]

I was gonna make it so that it will only level up high card once

But i decided that it’ll always do it, so instead I’ll just set the level up to 6 instead of 60.

[vernal path]

What function would I have to hook in order to keep a played card in hand?

[frigid cargo]

[vernal path]

here's my current hook for my joker that is supposed to make 1 card always draw, but it doesn't work. Am I missing something with draw_card()'s normal implementation?

local drawn_cards = draw_card
function draw_card(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
    local has_headliner_fix = false
    local headliner_fix = nil
    for _, j in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if j.key == "headliner_fix" then
            headliner_fix = j
            has_headliner_fix = true
        end
    end
    if has_headliner_fix and headliner_fix and headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then
        card = headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card
    end
    return drawn_cards(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
end```

[daring fern]

You can't store cards inside of other cards.

[vernal path]

damn

is there any way to make this happen? Or do I have to do some crazy work around.

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

A joker pins one card to the hand so it will always draw, even after play or discard

this is the joker's calculate function, although if you cant store a card in another card its kinda a moot point. lua calculate = function(self, card, context) if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then if (#context.full_hand == 1 and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0) then card.ability.extra.pinned_card = context.other_card end end if context.end_of_round then card.ability.extra.pinned_card = nil end end

[daring fern]

Yes, you can't store a card, but you can store a cards sort_id

[vernal path]

where would sort_id fit into draw_card()? Would it have something to do with the sort parameter, and is it looking for a table or something?

[daring fern]

No, you would store the cards sort_id, and you would iterate over G.I.CARD to find the card again.

[vernal path]

i see

[frigid cargo]

local upd = Game.update
local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
function Game:update(dt)
    upd(self, dt)
    local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
    local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
    DEvilobj.pos.x = 0
    DEvilobj.pos.y = 0
    if G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil and btct_DEvil_dt > 0.1 then
        if math.fmod(btct.ticks,12) == 0 then
            local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
            if DEvilobj.pos.x > 30 then 
                DEvilobj.pos.x = 0 
            else
                DEvilobj.pos.x = DEvilobj.pos.x + 1
            end
        end
    end
end

im not very sure how to animate can someone help me?

[vernal path]

okay, this is the current hook function, and i think its probably almost there although it crashes trying to call a table value, of which i assume from is supposed to be a function or something

local drawn_cards = draw_card
function draw_card(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
    local headliner_fix = SMODS.find_card("j_mode_headliner_fix")[1]
    if headliner_fix and headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then
        print(headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card)
        for _, c in G.I.CARD do
            if c.sort_id == headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then
                from = c
            end
        end
    end


    return drawn_cards(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
end``` I really wish there was some way to tell actually what type its expecting :/ in any case, am I supposed to replace `card` instead? And what type is it looking for?

[daring fern]

No, it's ipairs(G.I.CARD)

Also from is a card area, not a card.

[manic rune]

what function creates the description box of jokers (the one that runs generate_card_ui)?

[vernal path]

It works! Except it is flipped, which is probably the default behavior except that I'd rather it not be flipped.

there's a param called "stay_flipped", but ive tried setting that to false. maybe i should try true tho

[vernal path]

It's called by function Card:generate_UIBox_unlock_table(hidden), function Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table(vars_only), function create_UIBox_detailed_tooltip(_center), and function buildModtag(mod). i might be missing one tho

[vernal path]

you can search for implementations of a function by highlighting it and right clicking and clicking find implementations

[chrome widget]

Last deck for our mod yay

[vernal path]

ooh

[frigid cargo]

[manic rune]

ic, thanks

[hazy mountain]

anyone know why its having a syntax error when i place end here, i was looking at code for paya for help to create an enchancement and im unsure why its not launching or booting properly

[vernal path]

all stay_flipped does is that it stops it from unflipping when you play it. Is there anyway to flip it back around?

[vernal path]

if you hover over the red squigglies, does it say anything

oh actually

i dont think you need an end

[hazy mountain]

oh woah

[manic rune]

your btct_DEvil_dt is always 0

[frigid cargo]

ah i see thanks

[daring fern]

Code?

[vernal path]

end is only used for code blocks that use keywords, like if or for or while. if it doesnt start with those then you dont need end

[hazy mountain]

it crashed

[hazy mountain]

i see

[vernal path]

local drawn_cards = draw_card
function draw_card(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
    local headliner_fix = SMODS.find_card("j_mode_headliner_fix")[1]
    if headliner_fix and headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then
        print(headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card)
        for _, c in ipairs(G.I.CARD) do
            if c.sort_id == headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then
                card = c
            end
        end
    end
    return drawn_cards(from, to, percent, dir, sort, card, delay, mute, stay_flipped, vol, discarded_only)
end```

[hazy mountain]

i guess im confused on why its crashing

[vernal path]

i think you need an atlas probably

[hazy mountain]

i made one

thats what is strange

[vernal path]

like you need to define it

[hazy mountain]

im not sure what that means sorry

[daring fern]

How often does the pinned card get changed?

[vernal path]

once per round

[rare phoenix]

what location do i use for a played hand

[daring fern]

Then you should probably hook CardArea:shuffle()

[daring fern]

Full hand or scoring hand?

[vernal path]

like, how you would define the key or the pos, you need to define the atlas, so the game knows which atlas to use

[rare phoenix]

scoring hand

[daring fern]

Do you have the atlas in both 1x and 2x?

[hazy mountain]

yeah

wait

do i

[frigid cargo]

how can i make it so it updates?

[hazy mountain]

i have this

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand

[vernal path]

again, there is no atlas = "whatever",, which you need to define

[daring fern]

Yes, do you have enhancement wigglytuff.png file in both the 1x and 2x folders?

[hazy mountain]

i do

[daring fern]

No, objects don't require an atlas.

[vernal path]

uhhhhhhh

[daring fern]

It will just use the default one if it is not provided.

[hazy mountain]

so i need an equals sign here

[vernal path]

no, thats for in the object

[rare phoenix]

yeah but i'm trying to make a joker that turns kings into queens and i cant find the area

[daring fern]

What does the file structure look like?

[rare phoenix]

i need some way to single out the cards in the played hand, not make something happens when its played

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[daring fern]

No, I meant what do the 1x and 2x folders look like?

[hazy mountain]

oh

[rare phoenix]

to make played kings turn into queens

[hazy mountain]

its in an assests folder and then 1x and 2x

[daring fern]

Then you would use context.full_hand

[vernal path]

doesn't shuffle() just yk, randomize the location of each card? How would that unflip the card here? shouldn't I hook one of the functions actually used in the function, like sort() or emplace()? Although i can't seem to find definitions for those functions, so that might be a little challenging

[daring fern]

Have you tried removing the spaces?

[hazy mountain]

no

[vernal path]

yeah you really shouldn't have spaces in file names if they are supposed to be loaded by a program

[hazy mountain]

why is that

[vernal path]

screws with things

[hazy mountain]

i see

[daring fern]

Wait no, the problem is you put enchancement instead of enhancement

[hazy mountain]

oh my goodness

[daring fern]

No, I mean for putting the card at the top of the deck.

[hazy mountain]

my error was a typo thats funny

ill fix the spaces as well

thanks all (i dont know coding at all and this is very difficult, but i wanna make balatro mods), and i dont really have a lot of folks in my life who know code so much appericated

[graceful mortar]

im having some issues with cryptid can yall help me out if its not any trouble

long story short the mod isnt saving my runs

[frigid cargo]

bump

[daring fern]

Remove local btct_DEvil_dt = 0 inside the hook.

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[rare phoenix]

so uhhhh can someone help me with this

im trying to make played kings turn into queens

    if context.other_card:get_id() == 13 then
        return{
            assert(SMODS.change_base(card, nil, 'Queen'))
        }
    end    
end```

[daring fern]

if context.before then
    for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
        if v:get_id() == 13 then
            SMODS.change_base(v, nil, "Queen")
        end
    end
end

[rare phoenix]

what are k and v in this context

[daring fern]

k is the index of the card in the table and v is the card.

[rare phoenix]

awesome sauce thanks

[vernal path]

wait how is this supposed to work? What am i even doing here lmao

local shuffle = CardArea.shuffle
function CardArea.shuffle(self, _seed)
local headliner_fix = SMODS.find_card("j_mode_headliner_fix")[1]
    if headliner_fix and headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then
        for i, c in ipairs(self) do
            if c.sort_id == headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then
                local original_card = self[1]
                self[1] = c
                self[i] = original_card
            end
        end
    end
    CardArea:shuffle(_seed)
end```

[daring fern]

You would just replace checking if the seal is blue for checking if the cards sort_id matches the one you stored.

[vernal path]

This does not work, and I don't know why: lua local oldshuffle = CardArea.shuffle function CardArea:shuffle(_seed) local headliner_fix = SMODS.find_card("j_mode_headliner_fix")[1] local g = oldshuffle(self, _seed) if self == G.deck and headliner_fix and headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then local priorities = {} local otherones = {} for k, v in pairs(self.cards) do if v.sort_id == headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card then table.insert(priorities, v) else table.insert(otherones, v) end end for _, card in ipairs(priorities) do table.insert(otherones, card) end self.cards = otherones self:set_ranks() end return g end
It's not seeing the pinned card despite the fact that the joker is definitely saving it

like, headliner_fix.ability.extra.pinned_card is returning nil and I dont know why

[frigid cargo]

still dont work

[daring fern]

How are you setting the pinned card?

Also is the key correct?

[frigid cargo]

local upd = Game.update
local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
function Game:update(dt)
    upd(self, dt)
    local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
    DEvilobj.pos.x = 0
    if G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil and btct_DEvil_dt > 0.1 then
        if math.fmod(btct.ticks,12) == 0 then
            local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
            if DEvilobj.pos.x > 30 then 
                DEvilobj.pos.x = 0 
            else
                DEvilobj.pos.x = DEvilobj.pos.x + 1
            end
        end
    end
end

this still doesnt work? is there any other code i need to do?

[vernal path]

    end
}```

[vernal path]

yes?

[daring fern]

Yes, because CardArea:shuffle() happens at the end of the round.

[vernal path]

Oh, well yeah thats why I said its a joker that pins it and posted the joker code in the first place.

[manic rune]

you need to increase btct_DEvil_dt too dawg

[frigid cargo]

I swear its supposed to be there, i have it inside the else statement is that right?

[manic rune]

...no?

thats increasing the x position of the card's sprite

[daring fern]

btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt + dt directly in the hook.

[manic rune]

or G.real_dt if you dont want the animation to be affected by game speed

[frigid cargo]

Ah i see thanks

[frigid cargo]

Ill just use the other cause i think its funnier stopping cause of calculations

[frigid cargo]

ok so now it just crashes cause of btct on this line if math.fmod(btct.ticks,12) == 0 then

[manic rune]

btct doesnt exist

[frigid cargo]

what should i set it to? a number? a string?

[manic rune]

a table with ticks in it

btct = {ticks = (number)}

[frigid cargo]

ah ok thanks

local btct = {ticks = (12)}
local upd = Game.update
local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
function Game:update(dt)
    upd(self, dt)
    local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
    DEvilobj.pos.x = 0
    btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt + dt
    if G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil and btct_DEvil_dt > 0.1 then
        if math.fmod(btct.ticks,12) == 0 then
            local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
            if DEvilobj.pos.x > 30 then 
                DEvilobj.pos.x = 0 
            else
                DEvilobj.pos.x = DEvilobj.pos.x + 1
            end
        end
    end
end

like this?

Cause it dont work

[manic rune]

whats the purpose of that math.fmod line?

[frigid cargo]

Idk got it from a mod?

[manic rune]

you dont need it

local upd = Game.update
local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
function Game:update(dt)
    upd(self, dt)
    local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
    btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt + dt
    if DEvilobj and btct_DEvil_dt > 0.1 then
            if DEvilobj.pos.x > 30 then 
                DEvilobj.pos.x = 0 
            else
                DEvilobj.pos.x = DEvilobj.pos.x + 1
            end
    end
end

this is all you need

-# im lazy to fix the indentation on discord, so you do it yourself

[thorn basin]

small question: why does the edition name give me error even if I put a label?

[frigid cargo]

Oh ok thanks

[manic rune]

idk much about this but have you tried adding label = "..." in the enhancement

i mean edition

[thorn basin]

doesn't the doc say that you don't put the "e_" prefix?

at least for the label I mean

[thorn basin]

I tried like this but it still gives me error

[manic rune]

hm

im sorry but i havent made an edition before, so i have no clue on this one 😭

i would probably suggest checking other mods that have added an edition and do what they did

[thorn basin]

I tried like aikoyori did but still gives me error

i'm gonna search more

[manic rune]

good luck, sorry for not being able to help

[thorn basin]

it's fine

thx btw

[frigid cargo]

so, it changes whenever i change into it but not constantly? how can i fix this?
-# sorry idk how to do anims

[manic rune]

changes whenever i change into it?

oh yeah, you want to reduce btct_DEvil_dt by 0.1 too

local upd = Game.update
local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
function Game:update(dt)
    upd(self, dt)
    local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
    btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt + dt
    if DEvilobj and btct_DEvil_dt > 0.1 then
            btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt - 0.1
            if DEvilobj.pos.x > 30 then 
                DEvilobj.pos.x = 0 
            else
                DEvilobj.pos.x = DEvilobj.pos.x + 1
            end
    end
end

[manic rune]

might be becuse decks' sprites arent updated automatically then

shrug

[frigid cargo]

cause cryptid does it with glowing deck so idk

[thorn basin]

HOLY SHIT I JUST FIGURED IT OUT
Misc for some reason MUST be outside of "descriptions"

[manic rune]

are you sure they dont have any other code besides that

[manic rune]

congrats

:3

[frigid cargo]

the code for where animation happens i think is very long but the code mentioning glowing deck is not

[thorn basin]

Someone must mention this in the doc btw

[manic rune]

give me a ss

[frigid cargo]

ignore the amount of tabs

[manic rune]

yeah theres literally, other related code down there

scroll down

[frigid cargo]

woops i guess i didnt see

[frigid cargo]

would i just copy paste that and change names?

[manic rune]

yes

[frigid cargo]

local btct = {ticks = (1)}
local upd = Game.update
local btct_DEvil_dt = 0
function Game:update(dt)
    upd(self, dt)
    local DEvilobj = G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil
    btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt + dt
    if DEvilobj and btct_DEvil_dt > 0.1 then
            btct_DEvil_dt = btct_DEvil_dt - 0.1
            if DEvilobj.pos.x > 30 then 
                DEvilobj.pos.x = 0 
            else
                DEvilobj.pos.x = DEvilobj.pos.x + 1
            end
    end
end
for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
    if v.children.back and v.children.back.atlas.name == "btct_DEvil" then
        v.children.back:set_sprite_pos(G.P_CENTERS.b_btct_DEvil.pos or G.P_CENTERS["b_red"].pos)
    end
end

still doesnt work?

[manic rune]

whats your atlas name

the atlas that deck is using

[frigid cargo]

DEvil

oh

also what would be a good tick speed?

[manic rune]

shrug

change it accordingly until u think it looks smooth

[frigid cargo]

ah i see thanks but it still doesnt work

might have to postpone animations for now, it works its just not updating constantly

[manic rune]

can you take a ss of the atlas

[manic rune]

it should be "btct_DEvilAtlas" then

[frigid cargo]

oh i keep the btct

cause i just changed the atlas to make it different from the actual deck

still nope

[hushed field]

let me know if you still need help with this! I think I did that by messing around with info_queue, not with generate_ui

[red flower]

what do you want to do?
keep in mind not calling the original generate_ui just leaves you with an empty box without the name or description so it doesn't start it from scratch, you would still do the same stuff I do in my mod
if you need to generate an entirely different UI you would need to hook/patch other functions

[manic rune]

where did you change it

seems like it should work if you change it properly

[frigid cargo]

Same lua file of decks

[manic rune]

i know, which part of the code did you change it though

[frigid cargo]

On the back.atlas.name

It now says v.children.back.atlas.name == "btct_DEvilAtlas" then

[rapid stag]

ah, i see

[daring fern]

Yes, it would be v.children.back.atlas == G.ASSET_ATLAS["btct_DEvilAtlas"] then

[frigid cargo]

I see thanks ill try tomorrow cause i havent slept yet lol 😭

[plain ember]

Guys, where i can find info about the contexts things?

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[distant junco]

Is it possible to check for specific jokers? Like if I wanted to specifically check if Ride the Bus was in hand

[south pagoda]

SMODS.find_card([key]) should return a table of all jokers owned with the given key

and you can do next(SMODS.find_card([key])) to check if there are any.

[faint yacht]

next(SMODS.find_card('j_ride_the_bus')), in this case.

[manic rune]

shouldnt table.clone make it so whatever i do to new_effect wont affect ExtraEffects?

[distant junco]

Sweet!

[south pagoda]

It depends on the table you're copying. If the table you're copying has any nested tables then those will still reference the original table.

[manic rune]

well crap

yeah thanks

[faint yacht]

Recursively call the function if the given value is a table... but also ensure that it doesn't end up in an infinite loop either.

[south pagoda]

It looks like the Balatro source code already has a copy_table() function, have you tried that?

It's recursive, so like Ali said it should work in your case

[manic rune]

smt like this, i assume?

[faint yacht]

I had my own recursive "go through" recursive function, but it is no longer present as of 1.8.x as the Joker that used it has been changed.

[hardy viper]

balatro modders making a fifteenth copy table function

[manic rune]

oh interesting, i will check that later

[faint yacht]

-# tbh, mine wasn't a "copy" table, just find numbers and increase them.

[primal robin]

I'm using table_merge for my copying purposes

[hardy viper]

not to be overly critical but wouldn't this be one off since argument 1 (target) is not in tables_to_merge

okay tbh that is overly critical my bad

[primal robin]

Actually, makes sense

[cursive gazelle]

can i replace the game's background shader with a custom one ?

[cursive gazelle]

    key        = 'back',
    order      = 0,
    func       = function(self)
        if self.area and self.area.config.type == 'deck' then
            self.children.back:draw(G.C.WHITE)
            return
        end

        local use_delta = false
        if self.config
           and self.config.edition
           and self.config.edition.key == 'delta'
        then
            use_delta = true
        elseif rawget(self, '_absolute_deck') then
            use_delta = true
        end

        if use_delta then

            self.children.back:draw_shader('aao_p_delta')
            if not sxeif.delta_overlay_sprite then
                sxeif.delta_overlay_sprite = Sprite(
                    0, 0,
                    G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H,
                    G.ASSET_ATLAS['aao_p_soul'],
                    { x = 0, y = 0 }
                )
            end

            sxeif.delta_overlay_sprite.role.draw_major = self
            sxeif.delta_overlay_sprite:draw_shader(
                'dissolve',
                nil, nil, nil,
                self.children.back
            )
        else
            self.children.back:draw_shader('dissolve')
        end
    end,
    conditions = {
        vortex = false,
        facing = 'back',
    },
}```

@hushed field this is how i draw shader and sprite on back

_absolute_deck is my variable to attach the buttons

[hushed field]

I see! Let me parse it all in a sec, after I finish a call for work, haha

[cursive gazelle]

aao_p is my mod prefix

sorry for 0 commments it's not a finishedd product and i'm working alone so

[worthy stirrup]

How could I edit this so it shows a joker?

G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards] and {n = G.UIT.O, config = {align = "cm", object = Card(0,0, 0.5*G.CARD_W, 0.5*G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS[G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards].config.card_key], G.P_CENTERS['c_base'])}} or nil,

[maiden phoenix]

Replace the Card in object

For example try G.P_CENTERS['j_joker']

instead of c_base

[worthy stirrup]

Oh wait, I thought I would need to replace everything, thank you

[red flower]

you would make the p_cards part nil as well iirc

unless you want the joker to also be a playing card lol

[worthy stirrup]

No, I don’t think it should be one lol

Thanks again

I just realized it should be a consumeable, whats the prefix for a consumable, unless I use its key if its a custom one like what im doing

[red flower]

c_

[worthy stirrup]

thank you, this applies to custom ones too correct?

Thank you again

[thorn basin]

Oh... woops hehe....

[worthy stirrup]

one last question for now, how would I make this two description boxes?

    loc_txt = {
        ["name"] = "Pliers",
        ["text"] = {
            [1] = "You {C:mult}tear{} out a tooth. The {C:mult}pain{} dulls your {C:mult}focus{}. {X:chips,C:white}X0.5{} chips for the rest of this {C:mult}Ante.{}",
            [2] = "Summons the following Pulled Tooth:"
        }
    },

[hushed field]

are these both they key and order that you tested this with? And the issue was that the png you were drawing disappeared immediately, right?

[cursive gazelle]

no this works just fine , tho if i remove the facing ="back" from condition and put it in the if to draw something diffrent is the face , it won't work

can i apply stickers on playing cards ? or do i need to patch it btw

[hushed field]

Yes, they work out of the box, stickers are really just sprites

but the way stickers work is that they just draw a sprite using the drawstep

[cursive gazelle]

great that helps

[hushed field]

Why are you using back and front as keys, though? Is there a reason as far as editions go that make it necessary to overwrite the whole step?

[cursive gazelle]

can i make a new gameobject or something that i can apply to both jokers and playing card

[hushed field]

yeah, but again, I'm not sure why you'd actually go about it that way. If you add a new game object, you're back at having to mess with drawsteps again, anyway

[cursive gazelle]

lol ,i just want to escape it

[hushed field]

From what I understand, you can just set this up using a new key and a slightly higher order, I don't really see why you'd need a new gameobject, or dummy sticker.

[cursive gazelle]

is there an order for edition shader ?

[hushed field]

I think you're just making it more complex by using the specific 'back' and 'front' keys

yes, but I'm also not sure you'd need to use that

[cursive gazelle]

so just use one draxstep

[hushed field]

nope

just don't use 'back' and ' front'

just make entirely new drawsteps

[cursive gazelle]

okay sure

[hushed field]

Just so I'm sure I'm understanding, you're just needing to make it so there's a png on the back of a card if it has a specific edition applied, right?

that's all you wanna do?

[cursive gazelle]

on the back and front

when it's facing front the front png gets drawn and when on the back the back one gets drawn instead

[hushed field]

same process, two separate drawsteps. Shouldn't be more difficult than just doing either

[cursive gazelle]

i see

[hushed field]

All that needs is a new drawstep for each side with a priority between 0 and 10. It should be as easy as just applying the png as a child object

[cursive gazelle]

btw do i need to do patches to mess with some joker variables ? , like increasing or decreasing

[hushed field]

ope

oh yeah

Well, depends

The way I do it, no, but my system can't interact with vanilla cards. Cryptid's does do some patching, iirc, but just minor stuff. The main issue is figuring out how you wanna deal with the design elements and storing the values.

[cursive gazelle]

thanks for the help ice i'll let you know how it went

[cursive gazelle]

do you recommend i just look into cryptid's code or just figure it out myself

[hushed field]

https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/v0.10_dev/items/Enhancements/superhero.lua

btw, this is for my superhero enhancement, which places a sprite on the top of the card. Would work the same for the back, but it would need to have some strings swapped around

Basically none of that code is necessary in your case, as it's all just to make the sprite have a shadow and hover

[cursive gazelle]

i see

[hushed field]

depends on what your exact needs are. I suspect Ruby might have reworked it quite a bit since I last looked at it, but I'm personally not a fan of how Cryptid does it. I do recommend checking that code, though, because the way the system works is by hardcoding values that you don't wanna manipulate, so a lot of the vanilla values are in there

[cursive gazelle]

oh that's how they do it

[hushed field]

It's the most freely compatible way to set that up. Will still mess up some modded jokers, but it works unless there's exception. The issue you get with it is that is that the value manipulation messes with the core way scaling jokers and timed jokers work

Cryptid's fine with changing that, but it's something to consider. Part of why I changed how my system approaches it, though the cost of that is that it can't deal with jokers from other mods

[cursive gazelle]

i see

i think i have an idea , i'll have to look at the code and judge tho

i'll get to fixing the drawstep

thanks again ice , your help is very appreciated

[hushed field]

I'd see if Ruby has insights in the value manipulation stuff. I think it's a decent system that Cryptid uses, but I'd hate to see that be the default that all mods use 😛

I loathe how it messes with timed jokers, probabilities and stacked values, haha

[cursive gazelle]

i have so many tabs open its insane lmao

[red flower]

    loc_txt = {
        ["name"] = "Pliers",
        ["text"] = {

            },
            { 
              "Summons the following Pulled Tooth:"
            }

Good schmorning chat

hi willy

yo dillster

[modern kindle]

Hi N and ice

How are you guys

[red flower]

im doing well ty
hbu

[modern kindle]

Im just waking up but it feeling alright

Got myself paid so im chillin

Gonna spend like 150 to buy my gf a controller and elden ring cause she wants to do that together

[red flower]

let's goo

[worthy stirrup]

Thank you

[modern kindle]

She's been struggling in nightreign but I figure maybe doing the base game together will help teach her how to freaking roll

I also might buy Detroit become human and until dawn myself
Both have been on my list for awhile

[rapid stag]

is card.ability.h_size used for anything?

[red flower]

juggler and merry andy

[warm dragon]

I am making a challenge mod where you can't level up hands, so I am trying to ban anything that can do that. But I seem to be unable to figure out how to ban blue seals

and also I can't figure out how to ban specific skip tags

[slim ferry]

skip tags should be pretty easy, a lot of vanilla challenges do that

you just add a banned_tags table to restrictions

[warm dragon]

What about blue seals?

[red flower]

I would hook SMODS.poll_seal

[slim ferry]

all the challenges that force certain enhancements in your deck just ban EVERYTHING that creates or changes enhancements so you would have to do some shenanigans i imagine

[red flower]

there's also a PR I made to smods to manipulate pools but that's not merged yet

[warm dragon]

What does this mean?

[red flower]

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

you would change how the function works so it doesn't return blue seals

[rapid stag]

how can i make a joker retrigger other jokers i can only return { repetitions = 1 } from context.repetitions if i want repetitions to work, right?

is context.cardarea == G.jokers valid for context.repetitions?
oh, it must be, otherwise red seal joker implementations wouldn't work~

[worthy stirrup]

Can someone help me get my label working, i know there was a way to do it without a localization file

SMODS.ConsumableType({
    key="Flesh",
    primary_colour = G.C.RED,
    label = 'Painful',
    secondary_colour = G.C.RED,
    loc_text =      {
        label = 'Painful',
        collection = 'The horrors', -- label for the button to access the collection
        undiscovered = { -- description for undiscovered cards in the collection
        name = 'Unknown',
        text = { 'Sacrifices need to be made.' },
        },
    },
    collection_rows = { 6, 6 }
})

[red flower]

no
#💻・modding-dev message

you need to enable the optional feature too

[warm dragon]

ok, before I try to figure out hooking is there a way I can paste the liste of restrictions I wrote to get a sanity check to see if I forgot a way a hand can be leveled up?

[red flower]

it's name not label

[slim ferry]

wait i thought hooking was some hard shit is it literally just changing a function just like a variable 😭

[red flower]

yeah in lua functions are first class objects or whatever nerds call it

[worthy stirrup]

oh

i may be stupid

[slim ferry]

wont hooking mess with other mods trying to hook the same function?

[worthy stirrup]

It still shows up as error, or is the name supposed to be outside of the loc_txt

[warm dragon]

Yeah I do only want to ban blue seals in the challenge not in the rest of the game

[red flower]

no, when you hook something it also stores all previous hooks because they're basically part of the function now

[red flower]

you would check if you're in your challenge in the hook

me when people don't trust my advise

[rapid stag]

sanity check, context.other_card.config.center.key would be the key of the other joker being looked at during context.retrigger_joker_check, right?

[red flower]

yes

[worthy stirrup]

when its inside or outside the loc_txt, it still shows ERROR

[red flower]

can i see

[worthy stirrup]

oh yes, 1s

[warm dragon]

What is the best way to paste my restrictions table for a sanity check?

[worthy stirrup]

code im assuming

[slim ferry]

what i would do is add a check to poll_seal (and optionally poll_enhancement and poll_edition) to only roll things that arent in G.GAME.banned_keys

[worthy stirrup]

wait, 1s, i think i made a mistake

[red flower]

yes

[worthy stirrup]

SMODS.ConsumableType({
    key="Sacrifices",
    primary_colour = G.C.RED,
    secondary_colour = G.C.RED,
    name = 'Sacrifices',
    loc_text =      {
        name = 'Sacrifices',
        collection = 'Sacrifices', -- label for the button to access the collection
        undiscovered = { -- description for undiscovered cards in the collection
        name = 'Unknown',
        text = { 'Sacrifices need to be made.' },
        },
    },
    collection_rows = { 6, 6 }
})

[red flower]

loc_txt

[worthy stirrup]

oh my god

no wonder why it wasnt working 😭

thank you

[warm dragon]

Before I try to figure out blue seals, did I ban every other way of upgrading hands?

https://pastebin.com/5pCbnGRJ

[red flower]

I think this won't ban pluto from the shop

due to the way pools work

[warm dragon]

What why

[slim ferry]

because

if nothing in a pool can spawn

itll spawn the default card instead when it tries to spawn

which for planets is pluto

[red flower]

Basically the gane doesn't check all cards individually but in pools, so when it tries to spawn a Planet it will do that

[warm dragon]

is there a better way to ban all planets?

[red flower]

G.GAME.planet_rate = 0
i think let me check

yeah

[warm dragon]

ok, so I get rid of all the planet cards in my banned list and then where do I add G.Game.planet_rate=0 ?

[red flower]

you would need to do it in a hook or patch in Game:start_run i think

OR wait to see if this gets merged and do it in apply()
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/846

[warm dragon]

ok, so I need to figure out hot to do a hook for planet cards and for blue seals. idk why I thought this would be an easy mod to start out with

[slim ferry]

planet cards doesnt need a hook i think

just do the same as jokerless

but with planets

[old hull]

I'm having trouble with "SMODS.is_eternal". Whenever I try to use it the game crashes, saying "is_eternal" is a nil value. Is there a global fix, or do I have to fix each instance individually?

[red flower]

sadly challenges are pretty hardcoded

so (right now) you need to do stuff in hooks

that's why i did that PR yesterday

[red flower]

what version of smods

[rapid stag]

oh right this must have been changed with context.probability changes
what am i doing wrong here how do i change this call

[sturdy compass]

Oh my god PLEAAAAASE

[warm dragon]

Ah, that makes sense

[sturdy compass]

I’d be able to get rid of so many patches with this

[old hull]

1.0.0-beta-0614a, would updating fix it?

[red flower]

yes

[warm dragon]

ok, i'm going to fiddle for a bit but I am sure I will be back with more questions. Thanks everyone for your help

[red flower]

jokerless is hardcoded, you would need to patch here (not necessarily in the same place it can be later)

[old hull]

thx

[slim ferry]

what arguments does SMODS.poll_enhancement actually take?

[red flower]

the ones in the docs :3

[slim ferry]

where is it in the docs...

[red flower]

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

[slim ferry]

ah
