[red flower]

oh sorry i see it

it's card:set_ability

[lusty glade]

instead of card.ability? :0

typos will trully be my worst enemy lmao-

[red flower]

not in that screenshot

in the other enhancement

[hard flume]

Hiii :D

[lusty glade]

heyo

[candid elbow]

How can i add the text pops beside the joker

[candid elbow]

That says lucky cards for example
In lucky cat joker

[lusty glade]

oops yep I see it-

[candid elbow]

Heyyyyyy

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-a-custom-tooltip-to-the-side-of-the-description

[lusty glade]

It didn<t fix my center error but it problably solve another lol

[red flower]

hmm no idea then

[lusty glade]

welp, thank you for your help regardl;ess!

[candid elbow]

Thanksssssssss

[hardy viper]

questions: can the same center be in two different pools, can centers from two different sets be in the same pool

[red flower]

like an objecttype? yes to both

[frigid birch]

yo N sup uhh code for if you have a specific joker, a different joker can appear in the shop?

like if I have the inator, perry appears

but if i don't have it, perry is hidden

[hallow slate]

Should I have each consumable/joker/etc in one file, or one file per category?

[frigid birch]

you could do either or im guessing

[hallow slate]

What's best practice though

[frigid birch]

that i dont know

[frosty rampart]

it doesn't particularly matter tbh. probably easier to manage one individual card per file if you have a lot of jokers or whatever, but if you only have like 3 new consumables total and they don't use a lot of code then there's nothing wrong with having one single "consumables" file

[red flower]

in_pool = function(self, args)
    return next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key"))
end

on the one that doesn't appear

[unkempt thicket]

How do you use the multi boxs?

[chrome widget]

You can just add an additional table under the description text in a localization entry

So each table with a description is a box, grouped under a parent table

[unkempt thicket]

So another text table?

[glass crown]

two things:

• how would i apply a sticker to a card?
• how would i check if a card has a sticker?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#adding-your-descriptions

[red flower]

never used stickers much but i think it's SMODS.Stickers["modprefix_key"]:apply(card) and card.ability.modprefix_key

[glass crown]

👍 will try this thank you

[frigid birch]

is there an eval to check if the joker is still hidden or not?

[red flower]

no because its checked each time a card would be created

but you can check eval G.P_CENTERS["j_modprefix_key"]:in_pool()

hi dilly

[chrome widget]

My dad primarily

[modern kindle]

Awsum

[glass crown]

the SMODS.Stickers["modprefix_key"]:apply(card) didn't seem to work
(in my case it was SMODS.Stickers["votd_neopsychosis"]:apply(scored_card))

[red flower]

oh its (scored_card, true)

:add_sticker(key) should work too looking at the code

[gleaming yew]

,,,we serve modding-dev here ma'am
-# please excuse me if im bein stupid

[frigid cargo]

If the score of the hand played is greater than the blind size
Slr i fell asleep

[red flower]

yeah this is where devs chat

[slim ferry]

i mean cant you just directly look at the hand score instead

because flames are also like

[gleaming yew]

oh okie

[slim ferry]

time based and stuff

[frigid cargo]

I mean i could, its just idk how to check if hand played one shots the blind.

[modern kindle]

This channel is my general, my shitpost, my dev questions, my dev assistance

[gleaming yew]

oh okie

[frigid cargo]

Dilly does what dilly wants

[modern kindle]

Modding chat is just too overwhelming for me I think

So I just hang here pretty much exclusively

Its also where ive made my besties.... N my beloved

[modern kindle]

Oh I can give you this btw

[frigid cargo]

Oh that would be greatly appreciated please, thanks

[modern kindle]

sent it to u

[chrome widget]

Yeah I send my bowling games sometimes b/c I bowl regularly and most of my afternoons recently have been bowling > lunch > mod dev

[red flower]

sounds fun

[chrome widget]

What, being unemployed? It's really not

That said people should pay me for being unemployed and sexy and cool and having good ideas

[red flower]

thats true!

[modern kindle]

i should buy both of u pretty things

[red flower]

can i buy u then

[modern kindle]

can i marry u

[red flower]

no

[modern kindle]

im leaping off the edge

im hitting the pipe as the flappy

[frigid cargo]

Ok thanks

[slim ferry]

is there a specific function that does the max_highlighted stuff for consumables since its done automatically

[frigid cargo]

Dang

[red flower]

Card:use_consumeable im pretty sure

[slim ferry]

does it take the max_highlighted as an argument or does it just take Card.ability.max_highlighted directly

[red flower]

it takes it directly

oh its in can_use_consumeable

[modern kindle]

N im going to da retro store

[red flower]

what u getting

[modern kindle]

Jet set radio, shenmue, sone sega genesis model 1 controllers
And then whatever else I find

[red flower]

nice

[chrome widget]

I hurt myself bowling so I'll have to slow down for a bit

[red flower]

nooo

[chrome widget]

😔

[modern kindle]

Let me fix u

[chrome widget]

I just need some carbuprofen it's fine

[slim ferry]

if i change any of the variables taken from Card in the method, will that leave the actual variable in the card untouched?

[red flower]

no, it will get changed

[stiff quiver]

where are a joker's stickers stored?

[red flower]

card.ability

[stiff quiver]

card.ability.stickers or just card.ability

[red flower]

just card.ability

you need to find them

[stiff quiver]

oh thats, cool

[red flower]

idk if there's a function for it

[slim ferry]

so if i wanted to hook the function to change the variables could i instead copy the Card into a different table, then edit the value there and call the original function with that copied table?

[stiff quiver]

I'll look, thanks N

[red flower]

yes but i would worry about doing that haha

[slim ferry]

would?

why should i worry about that

[distant umbra]

hi how to start making a mod

[ashen drift]

help

[red flower]

if what you mean is copy the entire card then thats 1) hard 2) would make anything in the consumable that requires the original card not work properly
if you mean only copying the values then thats fine but it would also break anything that requires checking those values properly

[distant umbra]

how to start making a mod?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-start-making-balatro-mods

[manic rune]

how do i change a joker's sell value again

[modern kindle]

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

As well

[red flower]

card.sell_cost

[modern kindle]

Sell_cost isnt ut

Yea

[distant umbra]

i use mods currently

[manic rune]

thanks

[distant umbra]

do i need do things https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

because i already got mods folder

[manic rune]

do i need to use :set_cost() too

[red flower]

did you read what i sent

[manic rune]

also, your name reminds me of metherul......

[distant umbra]

yes

[modern kindle]

I thought it was metherul being funny for a frame

[slim ferry]

well what im trying to do is modify the incoming max_highlighted, but i dont want it to permanently affect the card

[red flower]

i would just patch that part of the function instead of hooking

[distant umbra]

yes but

it doesn't say anything about lovely

and I already got steammoded

[red flower]

yes it does?

[distant umbra]

where?

[modern kindle]

Its the 6th word

[red flower]

also if you have smods you have lovely

[distant umbra]

where??

[red flower]

click the link

then click on your OS' link

[distant umbra]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod i got redirected to this

because i clicked on how to make mod

[red flower]

no you didnt

[distant umbra]

i don't want to play with mods, i want to make

[red flower]

if you have lovely then just skip that part

[distant umbra]

i think I do

i will check

[red flower]

if you have mods then you do

mods need lovely

[distant umbra]

ok i do

[vernal path]

Okay, I'm making a different joker now. It triggers when a card is scored, which means it needs to be in context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play, but since it's here, a normal return { message = ""} puts the message on the card being scored and not the joker. I should use an Event here, right?

[red flower]

no

message_card = card

[vernal path]

i did not know that that field existed

[modern kindle]

Thats why N makes the big bucks

[vernal path]

i knew about the other ones 😭

[rapid stag]

speaking of things we don't know, does anyone have any documentation on deckskin credits

i still don't know how to do it

[distant umbra]

in step 3 it says "Open a folder that contains your mod, the smods folder and the lovely/dump folder (such as opening your entire Mods folder). This is the easiest way but it can lead to your workspace being disorganized and harder to navigate in."
but i didn't create a folder that contains my mod, do I just create an empty folder in my mods folder?

[frigid cargo]

can i make a sprite for an edition then just try to match it with the card in shaders or smth?

[red flower]

yes

[distant umbra]

ok

"Lua.workspace.library": ["Steamodded", "lovely/dump"]
is this correct?

i opened my mods folder

when I paste entire path it shows errors

[red flower]

why are you doing both methods 😭

[distant umbra]

what do you mean both methods

[red flower]

it says either open the mod folder or do the workspace thing

[distant umbra]

i thought you're supposed to do both

oh well

i'll just open folder

oh it's in lua

nice

wow do I keep have to restarting my game?

[vernal path]

seeing as theres no way to reload code after the fact, yeah. You can hold M to restart the game though

[distant umbra]

that exists?

i only know R to restart my run

[red flower]

or alt+f5

[red flower]

i should add this to the wiki

[vernal path]

that doesn't work for me, i dunno why

[broken rivet]

how do i get a card enhancement's ability table

[distant umbra]

when making mulotiple jokers, do I just add on to mod.lua or make a new file

[vernal path]

you can put any object definition anywhere, so long as its loaded

some mod creators set up infrastructure so they can have each joker be it's own file and have them load automagically, but it's not necessary. Lots of mods just have 1 massive file

[red flower]

card.ability

[vernal path]

I personally have jokers split up into groups so they can be loaded configurablely

[modern kindle]

My way of operation is to just have a file per category
Ie I have a modules folder which contains
Jokers.lua
Consumables.lua
Blinds.lua
Etc

[broken rivet]

do quantum enhancements cause anything weird with this

[slim ferry]

you can do anything, though you have to load files outside your main file with assert(SMODS.load_file("<file path>"))()

[red flower]

i dont think so but ive never used them

[broken rivet]

i haven't either i just wanted to make sure one wouldn't break my mod somehow

[distant junco]

yo! im trying to have my joker upgrade when a certain rank is discarded, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything... could someone give us a hand?

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[latent perch]

Is there no voucher_redeemed context?!

[mossy orbit]

Question: How does atlas works with custom consumable type?

---@type SMODS.ConsumableType
SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = 'cpp_dwarf_Planet',
    default = 'c_cpp_sedna',
    primary_colour = G.C.SET.Planet,
    secondary_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Planet,
    collection_rows = { 4, 4 },
    shop_rate = 4,
}

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = 'dwarf_sedna',
    path = 'dp_sedna.png',
    px = ATLAS_PIXEL_WIDTH,
    py = ATLAS_PIXEL_HEIGHT,
})

---@type SMODS.Consumable
SMODS.Consumable {
    set = 'cpp_dwarf_Planet',
    atlas = 'dwarf_sedna',
    key = 'dwarf_sedna',
    cost = 3,
    pos = {
        x = 4,
        y = 4,
    }
}

I assume atlas inside the consumable type must be the same as the key ath the atlas definition so it can find the image of the card, amirite?

[red flower]

it's buying_card

[latent perch]

ooooh

thanks

[placid star]

N' still helping, the goat

[red flower]

why wouldnt i

[mystic river]

I'm on Linux, idk if you are too, but it turned out that the reason this didn't work for me was that it was a system shortcut thingy so balatro literally never "heard" the alt+f5
so i disabled that and it works now

[vernal path]

I'm not (although realistically i should be)

what distro do you use :3c

[mystic river]

mint :v
whatever os you're actually on could be doing a similar thing, you'd know better than me how to check that I've been on Linux for maybe three years and i already forgot everything i ever knew about Windows

[vernal path]

it may be stolen by everything search, but it doesnt really matter

[red flower]

ah i get it because your name is-

[vernal path]

[mystic river]

-# i mean it did also seem like legitimately the best option for my use case, but being named like my name was absolutely a bonus

[distant junco]

..bump?

[red flower]

whats rank2

[distant junco]

its just a random number between 2 and 14

[red flower]

can i see the whole code

[distant junco]

NO! (sure)

[vernal path]

yeah lol, i'd worry that you havent truncated it so it can also produce a number with a decimal

[distant junco]

 calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.starting_shop and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.rank1 = math.random(2, 14)
            card.ability.extra.rank2 = math.random(2, 14)
        end
        if context.cardarea == G.play and context.individual and context.other_card then
            local rank = context.other_card:get_id()
            if rank == card.ability.extra.rank1 then
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chips_gain
                return {
                    message = 'Upgrade!'
                }
            end
            if context.discard and not context.other_card.debuff and context.other_card:get_id() == card.ability.extra.rank2 then
                card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chips_gain
                return {
                message = 'Upgrade!'
                }
            end
        end
    end,

the the rank1 part works fine

[red flower]

pls dont use math.random..

[distant junco]

why not

[red flower]

its not the problem tho

[red flower]

it doesnt respect the seed

[wintry solar]

it's nested inside the other condition

[distant junco]

ohh what should i use instead

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-a-random-numberelement

[modern kindle]

Why would we respect the seed anyway, it rarely respects me

[red flower]

remember that time it gave you the soul?

[modern kindle]

No

[red flower]

well im sorry for you

Lmfao

My game store adventure has concluded

Lmao hello

Im doing okay

[wintry solar]

your poor bank account

[placid star]

hows the dihlatro going

[distant junco]

i wonder what the issue is then..

[modern kindle]

I bought some genesis controllers, I got sonic adventure, street fighter, Aladdin, and sonic 3d blast for the genesis, then also got n64 rumble and transfer pak, then also got jet set radio and shenmue for dreamcast

[placid star]

ante 8 flappy bird 😭

im not even gonna ask how long that took

[modern kindle]

Took only like 3 hours or so

[placid star]

also this is crazy, i got a solid 23p in there lmaoo

[modern kindle]

Alot of it was simple after improving yahimods dino to be better

So i also use this because mine is not the exact same and has ducking and birds

[placid star]

doom in balatro when?

[modern kindle]

Actually thats also an outdated video
Rn the cards also dont draw

Just like flappy

I want to see if I can do some form of a bullet hell next

[wispy falcon]

How did you... HUH?!

You can tell me what you want but code is magic

[modern kindle]

Ive been fascinated by getting stuff like this to work

Ive been stumped for ages on what blinds to add

And this has been tons of fun

[placid star]

please tell me youve turned down CRT since then tho 😭

[wispy falcon]

How much code did you need for that, if I may ask?

[modern kindle]

Oh u mean the anim flickering on the bird

[modern kindle]

Off the top of my head i think its less than 300 lines
Ill be able to tell you once im home in a half an hour

[wispy falcon]

That doesn't sound like much

[modern kindle]

Yea its nothing massive for sure

I also wanna do snake

And tetris

[wispy falcon]

Still fascinating though

A game in a game :O

When Balatro in Balatro? xD

[modern kindle]

Soon....

[wispy falcon]

Anyway, is there a way to get the xmult, mult, xchips, chips and other stuff from Jokers currently in play (Joker area)?

[red flower]

not really

you can check the cryptid misprint code and stuff

[distant junco]

@red flower figured it out. i put the discard check inside the cardarea check

[red flower]

thats what eremel said yes

[modern kindle]

I wish eremel was real

[wispy falcon]

Why misprint?

[red flower]

cryptid (the mod) has a mechanic where joker values become random called misprint

and also changing values and stuff too

[wispy falcon]

Gonna try to find something in there that might help

It's funny what comments one might find in mods xD

Just found this in the cryptid misprint file:

#but this should fix it```

[sleek cliff]

day old bump

[mossy orbit]

What is localize()?

Is that an special function from the game?

[red flower]

yes

it's in functions/misc_functions.lua

replace all the card with random_joker

card is the consumable

[clear ocean]

looking at the vanillaremade booster packs have weights too but not sure if there's a way to tell the difference between normal, jumbo, and mega

[sleek cliff]

Alrighty

[red flower]

i dont think there is other than checking the key

[clear ocean]

checking if it contains jumbo or mega?

[sleek cliff]

Is everything else correct then?

[red flower]

yeah

[clear ocean]

and then doubling the weight?

[red flower]

dunno

[chrome widget]

Hmmmm need some help with something a little more technical

[red flower]

what are you trying to do?

[sleek cliff]

Alrighty, ill test it and then ill ask if anything goes wrong

[clear ocean]

double the chances of a jumbo booster pack spawning in and another one doing the same for mega

[red flower]

oh ok then yeah

i think paya's had a thing like that

[chrome widget]

I need to do an override for SMODS.score_card, because I have a Joker to the effect of "retriggers scored enhancement effects", meaning rather than a full retrigger, it calculates each enhancement again. However, my attempt at doing so for some reason seems to have completely eliminated Red Seal retriggers, though it respects card effect retriggers such as via Sock and Buskin'

function SMODS.score_card(card, context)
    local reps = { 1 }
    local j = 1
    while j <= #reps do
        if reps[j] ~= 1 then
            local _, eff = next(reps[j])
            while eff.retrigger_flag do 
                SMODS.calculate_effect(eff, eff.card); j = j+1; _, eff = next(reps[j]) 
            end
            SMODS.calculate_effect(eff, eff.card)
            percent = percent + percent_delta
        end

        context.main_scoring = true
        local effects = { eval_card(card, context) }
        SMODS.calculate_quantum_enhancements(card, effects, context)
        context.main_scoring = nil
        context.individual = true
        context.other_card = card

        if next(effects) then
            SMODS.calculate_card_areas('jokers', context, effects, { main_scoring = true })
            SMODS.calculate_card_areas('individual', context, effects, { main_scoring = true })
        end

        local flags = SMODS.trigger_effects(effects, card)

        context.individual = nil
        if reps[j] == 1 and flags.calculated then
            context.repetition = true
            context.card_effects = effects
            SMODS.calculate_repetitions(card, context, reps)
            context.repetition = nil
            context.card_effects = nil
        end
        j = j + (flags.calculated and 1 or #reps)
        context.other_card = nil
        card.lucky_trigger = nil
    end
end```

(for record this is the original SMODS code)

The actual calculation is wrapped by the retrigger behavior, but I'm not entirely certain how to insert the additional effects to solve this

[clear ocean]

doesn't look like it looking at the voucher code and loc section

[red flower]

i mean detecting booster types

[slim ferry]

do values in G.GAME get tied to run saves by default, or do they need to be reset/saved manually

[red flower]

yeah that

[red flower]

yes they do

you missed all of these

[clear ocean]

ill look into it and credit paya

the dev is haya

[clear ocean]

sorry haya

[sleek cliff]

replace all those cards (i.e.card.children.center) to random_joker

[red flower]

yes

[lusty glade]

If I may ask, what does “juice_up” reffers to? What is it? :0

I see it a bunch and I have no clue what it does lol

[red flower]

it does the wiggle animation

yes

[frigid birch]

absolute goat sorry didn't wanna bother you anymore in dms

[lusty glade]

Ty!! You’re a life saver lol

[modern kindle]

i should bother n in dms

[red flower]

ok, does the pool have anything

[ebon shell]

why is this crash happening when i hover over the joker in the collection?

[red flower]

G.deck.cards

also G.deck doesnt exist in the collection

[sleek cliff]

where should I check the pool, because it should be a set that is destroys

[ebon shell]

how does blue joker not crash the game when you look at it through the collection? doesn't it also use G.deck to check for cards in your deck?

[worthy stirrup]

Does anyone know where in balatro's code it handles the floating effect for legionaries?

[red flower]

it nil checks https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1618a7660d84a41efa2275e78b79a66e666400c8/src/jokers.lua#L1390

[clear ocean]

doesn't look like it works

[red flower]

just print pool and see if it has anything but is_doctor doesnt seem to be a valid value

[vernal path]

doctor shoe?!?

[sleek cliff]

I think I set it to is_doctor because I have it in their extras lol

[vernal path]

[sleek cliff]

I got 1-7 in here yers

[sleek cliff]

we fight like animals and we die like animals

I might sound a bit sill, but how do I print the pool

print(pool)

do you have debugplus

[sleek cliff]

oh yeh, just put it in the command bar?

[red flower]

no

in the consumable

and i mean it was a joker so that might be why

[vernal path]

try setting it to 100% or so

[sleek cliff]

oh thamnk

[clear ocean]

100% where

[vernal path]

the chance? isn't that whatt you were testing?

or rather, set it to a million or something

[clear ocean]

i plagirised copied the code from paya which upgrades all of them instead

[vernal path]

oh i see

[frigid birch]

[SMODS ChaosControl "jokers/jokers.lua"]:461: Tried to call SMODS.change_base with invalid arguments: suit="nil", rank="Queen"```
error

i might have done stuff wrong

[clear ocean]

my best guess is either it relies on a library or was only meant to work as a joker

[vernal path]

might need to check lovely patches

[clear ocean]

still not sure how do either it might be out of reach as im not too experienced

[red flower]

huh that looks correct

what version of smods do you have

oh no sorry

[clear ocean]

at least it was a good idea while it lasted might be some api call smods can work on

[red flower]

card should be context.other_card

[clear ocean]

now need to come up with another voucher set idea as four sets look nice

[red flower]

and you need to save it to a local

because you shouldnt use context in an event

[frigid birch]

wdym

[vernal path]

maybe just have it spawn a random jumbo and then upgrade it to a random mega each shop(?)

[wintry solar]

hmmm?

what is the idea

[clear ocean]

is there a way to configure the chances that a jumbo or mega booster pack spawn or replace a normal size

mr fox man

[red flower]

local playing_card = context.other_card
-- imagine this is in an event
  assert(SMODS.change_base(playing_card, nil, "Queen"))

[wintry solar]

if you change the weights of them, sure

[clear ocean]

yeah pretty much

something similar to the rarities which was another voucher i made with help from nh

[wintry solar]

how does the code for these look

[wintry solar]

oh okay we're doing jank x2

[clear ocean]

i love jank code got to be my favourite gender

[red flower]

why are your keys like that

😭

[clear ocean]

so they stick together

[rotund sable]

I'm assuming loading by alphabetical order

[sleek cliff]

I put it in right under the use but its not printing anything
I changed it all back to card because it'd crash if I didn't

[red flower]

what does the key have to do with loading

also it can still be descriptive

[clear ocean]

oh

[red flower]

it has to be... after pool is defined

and after you fill it

of course it doesnt exist before you create it

[sleek cliff]

oh

[split yew]

Asking again if anyone has thoughts on why this doesn't work
I want to give the other lucky card proc on trigger with a joker, what am I doing wrong

[red flower]

identifier is not a thing in context.individual

it's for the probability contexts

[clear ocean]

uh should i like either just work on something else like the art or another section

[mossy orbit]

Need help

SMODS.PokerHandPart({
    key = 'six_played',
    func = function(hand)
        if get_X_same(6, hand) then
            return {}
        else
            return {}
        end
    end
})

Not sure how to use PokerHandPart

What it should return? I am using the get_X_same function from the game (not sure if that's fine)

Or should I return it directly?

SMODS.PokerHandPart({
    key = '_6',
    func = function(hand)
        return get_X_same(6, hand)
    end
})

Like this?

So in my PokerHand I can use parts.myprefix_6 ?

[sleek cliff]

nothing is printing

[red flower]

can i see the code

[sleek cliff]

if I put "random_joker" it freezes up

[red flower]

did you not change anything lol

[frigid birch]

i am not sure what to do lol

[faint yacht]

...can I somehow call a context whenever a held in hand ability (excluding retriggers) triggers? i.e. something like post_trigger but not on Jokers.

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/e03cb29969f60c373d28e838b4cb10a575c1e5d0/src/jokers/06MekkKnight.lua#L433

[sleek cliff]

So I know how to make a set, just not a pool, or am i dumb and they're the same thing because what I'm reading they seem the same

[red flower]

theyre the same thing

[frigid birch]

i don't understand that 😭

[sleek cliff]

oh

[red flower]

 loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                -- your vars here
                colours = {
                   -- your colors here
                }
            },
        }
    end,

[sleek cliff]

so I have a pool, but the destruction half isn't tied to anything

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[red flower]

it's because your pool variable is empty because you're checking wrong

[sleek cliff]

so what should I change then

[red flower]

well, I was getting there but you didn't do the thing I said earlier so it's hard for me to tell you if you ignore what I say lmao

[sleek cliff]

I'm not ignoring you, I'm just struggling to wrap my head around it

[red flower]

then I would recommend brushing up on some basic lua

here's how to get a set https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-set-pool-or-key-of-a-specific-cardobject

[frigid birch]

i don't understand what to put for vars

[red flower]

you know how the descriptions have like +#1# mult and stuff? the #1# is what goes in vars

if you dont need it you can ignore that comment

but colours still goes inside vars

[mossy orbit]

Like this?

        return {
            vars = {
                colours = { (G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level == 1 and G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK or G.C.HAND_LEVELS[math.min(7, G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level)]) }
            }
        }

[red flower]

yes

[mossy orbit]

So I see it access the game hands hand_type table to check the level (if one, default color TEXT_DARK) otherwise get the color level from HAND_LEVELS

[red flower]

yeah

it might crash outside a game tho

because G.GAME.hands doesnt exist

[mossy orbit]

So vars is like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

1 -> Level
2 -> Poker hand description
3 -> Multi level
4 -> Chip level
5 -> colours

Amirite?

[red flower]

ok now i dont understand what you mean

[mossy orbit]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/planets.lua#L17 as example

[red flower]

oh yeah

[mossy orbit]

In that order

[red flower]

yep

[mossy orbit]

Alright, awesome

So I am not so lost at all 😄

[frigid birch]

it's saying '<name>' expected near '1' for {B:1,V:2}Trans!{} what do i put there?

[red flower]

does that not crash in the collection

did i test that lol

[red flower]

without the code i cannot tell

[frigid birch]

what part of the code do you need?

[red flower]

the part near this

[versed swan]

How do you make some cards periodically juice up while a condition is met?

[mossy orbit]

Bruh... so I did something wrong

[frigid birch]

i'll just screenshot it

[red flower]

juice_card_until (badly named)

[mossy orbit]

Crashed when I entered enhancements, no idea why

[red flower]

ok yeah thats not valid lua code

[versed swan]

is there somewhere this can be added so it's applied to all cards?

[red flower]

i think you would manually have to go through all cards

either all cardareas or G.I.CARD

[frigid birch]

did i mention this is my first time coding?

[wet crag]

What would the context be to check if the Joker has a specific edition? I'd like my Joker to say a different message if it's Negative but if context.edition == "e_negative" then doesn't seem to be working.

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-a-card-has-a-specific-editionenhancementsealsticker

[wet crag]

Oh wow, thank you!

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[solid fjord]

Just started learning about hooks. If I wanted to change how the debuff_hand function from the Blind class works (I want it to retain all of its functionality + to add some of mine), would I do it something like this:

local old_debuff_hand = Blind:debuff_hand
Blind:debuff_hand = function(cards, hand, handname, check)
    --some code
    return old_debuff_hand
end

[red flower]

that specific syntax doesnt work, it needs to be either

local old_debuff_hand = Blind.debuff_hand
Blind.debuff_hand = function(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
    --some code
    return old_debuff_hand(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
end

or

local old_debuff_hand = Blind.debuff_hand
function Blind:debuff_hand(cards, hand, handname, check)
    --some code
    return old_debuff_hand(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
end

[solid fjord]

thanks, I obviously still do not understand corretly the difference between : and . but either way, I think I get it enough now

[rocky plaza]

: basically forces self as the first argument

so like

Blind.debuff_hand(self, cards, hand, handname, check)

and

Blind:debuff_hand(cards, hand, handname, check)

are the same

yeah at the end of the day : is just syntactic sugar

so a function Blind:debuff_hand would implicitly have a self parameter

[versed swan]

If you're trying to get a message to pop up on a card, the calculate function should return the following table after the main calculation is finished:

{
  message = "Trans!",
  colour = G.C.<color>,
  message_card = (card that the message should pop up on),
  sound = (sound name)
}

The only important parameter is message but I'll present the other options (that are optional, no need to include) so you can customize the message
And to be specific regarding colour, you can put either an item in the table G.C, or a fully custom color with HEX(<hexcode>) where <hexcode> is the hex code of a color, without the hashtag

(make sure this is inside the if-end block)

[solid fjord]

thanks for the long reply. Thats how I initially understood it. I guess what actually confuses me then is the line:
return old_debuff_hand(self, cards, hand, handname, check)
I thought the return old_debuff_hand as is would work, since im returning a pointer to a function, not sure why I would need to pass arguments here?

Oh nvm, I just realized why; so stupid

[rocky plaza]

yep, old_debuff_hand will still need a self parameter
local old_debuff_hand does not remember which table it came from
but it still has a self parameter
the self is ambiguous
hence u need to pass in a self arg when calling the old function
and returning a function will not call it

[versed swan]

I guess I should say what I'm trying to do - A consumable can be used on specific Jokers (vanilla and modded); I want said specific Jokers to juice up when the consumable is held on hand

[rocky plaza]

hmm i dont think that can be done in the code of the consumable
unless i am missing critical knowledge

[red flower]

you can do it in the consumable's add_to_deck and then just add the condition to juice_card_until that it stops when you dont have the consumable anymore

oh and then you would need to do it in calculate too

hmm maybe it would be easier with a drawstep

[versed swan]

drawstep?

[red flower]

or a Card:update hook, you would check if the card is the specific joker and if you are holding the consumable

[willow scroll]

before i try to do it myself, is there an easy way to make a card stay in your hand after playing it? (visually)

[versed swan]

I tried doing that, but it just kept spamming events, and juicing was not occurring

(and then using juice_ui kept spamming juice)

[red flower]

did you try using juice_card_until and adding some flag to the joker so you only call it once

[mossy orbit]

Uh... game launch error with the mod... Says I am trying to put a variable in a empty pool

[red flower]

are you using pools or a custom rarity

[mossy orbit]

c_cpp_dwarf_sedna

Not sure if I put the wrong localization or key for the consumable

[versed swan]

I don't think I'm using a flag?

if Ovn_f.joker_is_corruptible(self.config.center.key) then
    local eval = function(card) return next(SMODS.find_card("c_ovn_abyss")) and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
    juice_card_until(self, eval, true, 0.75)
end

[mossy orbit]

-- Haumea.lua
SMODS.Atlas({
    key = 'dwarf_haumea',
    path = 'dp_haumea.png',
    px = ATLAS_PIXEL_WIDTH,
    py = ATLAS_PIXEL_HEIGHT,
})

---@type SMODS.Consumable
SMODS.Consumable {
    set = 'cpp_dwarf_Planet',
    atlas = 'dwarf_haumea',
    key = 'dwarf_haumea',
    cost = 3,
}

[red flower]

you can do

if not self.juicing and Ovn_f.joker_is_corruptible(self.config.center.key) and next(SMODS.find_card("c_ovn_abyss")) then
    local eval = function(card) return next(SMODS.find_card("c_ovn_abyss")) and not G.RESET_JIGGLES end
    juice_card_until(self, eval, true, 0.75)
    self.juicing = true
end

[mossy orbit]

-- localization.lua
return {
    descriptions = {
        cpp_dwarf_Planet = {
            c_cpp_dwarf_haumea = {
                name = "Haumea",
                text = {
                    "{S:0.8}({S:0.8,V:1}lvl.#1#{S:0.8}){} Level up",

                    "{C:mult}+#3#{} Mult and",
                    "{C:chips}+#4#{} chips",
                }
            },

[red flower]

did you make an SMODS.ConsumableType

[mossy orbit]

Yes

---@type SMODS.ConsumableType
SMODS.ConsumableType {
    key = 'dwarf_Planet',
    default = 'c_cpp_sedna',
    primary_colour = G.C.SET.Planet,
    secondary_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Planet,
    collection_rows = { 4, 4 },
    shop_rate = 4,
}

[red flower]

copied the wrong thing lol

[red flower]

consumable types dont add the prefix

[mossy orbit]

Hmmmm so I need to add the cpp_dwarf_Planet to the consumableType key?

[red flower]

yes

[mossy orbit]

Ok!

[versed swan]

Oh hell yeah, this works really well, thank you

[mossy orbit]

It worked... now how do I fix this?

:/

[red flower]

something is missing in the localization

idk what i would check vremade

[mossy orbit]

Maybe that extra c_ prefix?

[frigid birch]

how do I change paths because my game thinks the file is in the main game resources

uh oh

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[neat leaf]

So, I want my mod to load after Cryptid loads, which is priority 114, does that mean I just need my mod's priority to be less than 114?

[vernal path]

it should be greater

[red flower]

yeah the error always says that, it doesnt mean its actually trying to look there

[neat leaf]

Oh, greater?

[frigid birch]

well then what do i do-

[red flower]

can i see the code

[rocky plaza]

mods get loaded from smallest to largest priority

[frigid birch]

well i have this at the top of the whole file ```path = {

 ['default'] = 'CC_wow.ogg',

}and this in the actual joker return {
message = "Trans!",
colour = G.C.CC_trans,
sound = 'CC_wow'
}```

[red flower]

is the first thing in an SMODS.Sound?

[frigid birch]

wdym

[red flower]

like this

[frigid birch]

goddamn

[faint yacht]

...not here either, hm...

[mossy orbit]

How do I pass a loc_text to the ConsumableType? Or does it take it from the localization?

[frigid birch]

    key = "wow",
    path = "CC_wow.ogg"
})```
```                return {
                    message = "Trans!",

                    sound = 'wow'

k i changed it, but it's the same error

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType#api-documentation-smodsconsumabletype

[red flower]

it should be CC_wow in the return

you tried your best

anyone else know?

Anddd doesnt work, ugh

[willow scroll]

might be a dumb question, where is the sound file in your mod structure?

[frigid birch]

iirc its assets/sounds where it needs to be

GUYS

THE WORST BALATRO LIB

#1403861979059327116

ITS THERE

[frigid birch]

thank you

[clear ocean]

@red flower is it deck sleeves the other mod you recommend compatiablity

[mossy orbit]

I give up for today

[mystic river]

me when i can't scroll down

[red flower]

if you add decks yes

[clear ocean]

i can give it a try, trying to learn how to make one of each

[mossy orbit]

Really frustrating how localization works T.T

[modern kindle]

I really need to get on starting mod compats

[clear ocean]

better start early then later for me hah

[willow scroll]

wait why is this shockingly easy (its broken in every way but it moved back gracefully)

[clear ocean]

might rework the vouchers but its more of a learning excerise

[modern kindle]

I initially had no real plans for mod compat
But because ive made friends in here I want to ensure compat with their mods (bepis, N, winter, and more)

In my credits i also tell people to play their mods if they haven't

[clear ocean]

still appreciate the help from jga and flopprdog

[modern kindle]

Ive been helped by so many people

I also try to help others where I can

[clear ocean]

i love this kind of community spirit might even change the credits to "mellowthumber and friends" or something

[willow scroll]

lol i cant interact with it but the part i was worrying about (gracefully going back to my hand) is literally just G.hand:emplace lmfao

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[red flower]

im here to hinder everyone

[clear ocean]

is the video working?

[modern kindle]

Yet you do nothing but make my life better

[red flower]

i can see it

[clear ocean]

might be me then

[modern kindle]

U gotta flip da card

[willow scroll]

its also technically played already and shows as transparent in deck view so uhh

but that should be easy to fix right? :clueless:

[red flower]

yeah because it also tried to emplace it in G.discard

[modern kindle]

Yeye I was gonna say

[willow scroll]

might be steam using an evil advanced encoder, mb

[modern kindle]

Nah your video worked for me and N I think

I often paste steam vida

[willow scroll]

im not too familiar with how cardareas work this joker is supposed to be the exercise for me to understand them

so ill see what i can do

[clear ocean]

might be my fedora instalation forgetting the evil advanced encoder, mb

but tbf i try to have all the codecs as i like to collect different kinds of formats and for backwards compatibility of old windows games

[willow scroll]

steam uses the HEVC codec in case you dont wanna google

[clear ocean]

yeah i think i have that instaled might just be discord being weird again 💔

still need to get around to installing the sims 1-3 via bottles some time as i need my sims fix

[willow scroll]

or specifically, this one, im not too familiar with codecs

[clear ocean]

i even got the first one complete edition on physical

any other mods you recommend compatibility let me know (i'll add more text and metalinks in a sec)

[wintry solar]

do you want mods we don't recommend compatibility for too? 🙃

[red flower]

does it start with t and end with alisman

[willow scroll]

how would i stop it from doing that

[rotund sable]

Isn't card sleeves more of a cross mod?

[wintry solar]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[clear ocean]

its more saying "tailsman support isn't a propriety, but feel free to submit an issue"

[wintry solar]

that is not at all what listing it as compatible means

[wispy falcon]

Is there a way to make it that when the player opens a custom boosterpack, that the original Soundtrack gets changed to my own kind of version while also remaining at that same moment in the Soundtrack? Basically like Balatro does it but with my own version and boosterpack

[clear ocean]

i know yahimod does that

[red flower]

i think cryptid code packs do that

[clear ocean]

the header is about mod compatibility and in-compatibility saying in general it should be compatible but there are some notable (in)compatible mods

i hope that makes sense

[red flower]

i dont know if it keeps the timing i have worked with sounds

[modern kindle]

But i have it compat...

[clear ocean]

https://github.com/Yahiamice/yahimod-balatro/blob/393cc64bdd2e4ffd5e6ccff88c883b4a9611ae73/items/boosters.lua#L9

[wispy falcon]

Gonna look into the code for them then

[wispy falcon]

Thank you :3

[clear ocean]

i think this is from mother 2/earthbound?

heard it from a zkevin roblox game too

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[clear ocean]

for crediting tailsman, what is the proper way. spectral pack? math is fun? cryptid team?

[willow scroll]

this shit so ass lmfao

i can select the right two "discarded" cards

🔥

[ivory citrus]

Helo, I wanted to ask what you think of this code and if you think it will work.

[red flower]

i think it's not very well formated

if you have the lua extension (if you dont, get it), right click > format

[ivory citrus]

I have the extension

Ah, I see.

Only change the indentation of the text.

[sly helm]

honestly i hate it when extensions format my code

[wintry solar]

that's fine when you know how to format code

[sly helm]

i dont code in lua but with other languages besides python its honestly just annoying

[red flower]

i have it to autoformat on save

[clear ocean]

i love lua and ruby and languages like that

[red flower]

most of the time it's fine

[sly helm]

my brother had that, and it made me pull my hair

[rotund sable]

Looks like someone is using jokerforge

[red flower]

my autoformatter doesn't do much i wouldn't do manually
sometimes you need to configure it right

i hate the autoformatters that try to align tables

[crystal perch]

i have an issue where adding oops all sixes makes my joker not trigger both effects

[sly helm]

anyway, as i said i dont use lua. but i know a fair bit of it
how do i get into modding this game?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-start-making-balatro-mods

[keen atlas]

try it and see

[keen atlas]

i just noticed it too, the if (function())() then is odd

[ivory citrus]

when the blind is selected

[crystal perch]

i don't like using the lua extention when coding for smods cuz it always yells at me for undefined globals 🤷‍♀️

[red flower]

then configure your stuff right

i dont have that

[rotund sable]

Jokerforge generally uses the functions like this in if statements and sucks at formatting the code (because it doesn't format it)

[ivory citrus]

According to the error message, here is the problem.

[frigid cargo]

Is it just like not possible? Cause dayum

[wind steppe]

how would i temporarily change the shop pool when a consumable is used? (say for one shop)

[rotund sable]

What's the error message

[ivory citrus]

This

[red flower]

what about the pool do you want to change?

[wind steppe]

ideally just completely replace the pool temporarily?

[keen atlas]

you did some change and moved to line 767 now

[red flower]

what do you mean by replace?

[sly helm]

thanks
ive read most of it, seems promising

[wind steppe]

as in ignore whatever the shop normally wouldve generated to replace it with a custom pool

could manually generate the cards as well and use pseudorandom

[ivory citrus]

I think it's wrong, but I don't know how to fix it.

[red flower]

I understand that part but it depends on what and how you want to replace it with
If you want to make your own logic then you would need to patch/hook create_card_for_shop

[wind steppe]

ty

will look into it

[mossy orbit]

        return {
            vars = {
                G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level,
                localize(card.ability.hand_type, 'poker_hands'),
                G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].l_mult,
                G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].l_chips,
                colours = { (G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level == 1 and G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK or G.C.HAND_LEVELS[math.min(7, G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level)]) }
            },
        }
    end
})

I can only guess the stuff inside loc_vars doesn't work. I copied it from https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/1618a7660d84a41efa2275e78b79a66e666400c8/src/planets.lua#L237

[red flower]

is flush_six your poker hand

it should have the mod prefix

[mossy orbit]

Ahhhh

[mossy orbit]

Tried to send a cat kiss gif

Thank you so much ❤️

Really convoluted stuff but I am starting to get the deal

[knotty orchid]

how can I make it so that jokers that are not in pool can appear in certain boosters??

because from what I have seen, if they are not in pool they cannot spawn right?

[ivory citrus]

pls help

[crystal perch]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[faint yacht]

@red flower Any potential suggestions for how to trigger effects on a card whenever a held in hand card's effect is triggered, be it XMult from Steel or a Joker?

[crystal perch]

thank you mods

big kiss

[daring fern]

Yes.

[knotty orchid]

So, is it possible to make boosters that create cards even if they are not in pool?

[daring fern]

Perhaps you could hook SMODS.score_card and set a flag and then hook SMODS.calculate_effect to see if anything triggers while that flag is active?

[flint fern]

i'm making a language mod
where do i find the template
-# or at the very least the english localization file

[daring fern]

In the Balatro extracted exe

[red flower]

no

[wind steppe]

key_shop_card_generation = function(area)
    return Card(area.T.x + area.T.w/2, area.T.y, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS.c_empress, {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})
end
local shop_card_generation_old = create_card_for_shop
create_card_for_shop = function(area)
    if key_enabled then
        return key_shop_card_generation(area)
    else
        return shop_card_generation_old(area)
    end
end

why doesn't this change the generation of cards in shops even with key_enabled set to true?

[crystal perch]

i have a card that forcefully opens a booster and it makes the game act very strangely afterwards
the booster UI is overlaid on top of other UI (sometimes even behind playing cards), the background doesn't update properly upon exiting the booster, and the music only changes back after openening and exiting a different booster

anyone know how i could address this?

the code included is the function which opens the pack

[willow scroll]

ok im getting closer

i no longer go above the deck limit

but it is still unplayable

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[willow scroll]

that a card stays in hand after being played

and can essentially be played again

basically copying it to hand and deleting the original

but without actually doing that

[daring fern]

I have a lovely patch for this that works.

[willow scroll]

oh thats cool

im currently seeing if i can do it without without lovely patches (because i dont know how to)

[meager moss]

can someone help me figure out what needs update or a bug on my modded thing?

I installed a new update to a mod I've been playing #1350574384267526195 and it isn't liking the new mods

[wispy falcon]

Is the range of weight = from 0 to 1?

[red flower]

usually no, what for

boosters?

[wispy falcon]

Yes

What range does it have instead?

[jolly shadow]

theres no max

im pretty sure

[red flower]

iirc it doesn't have one

it's a weighted pool

[jolly shadow]

just dont put zero cuz youd be a moron

[willow scroll]

oh wow thank you!

[wispy falcon]

Okay, good to know

Thank you :)

[crystal perch]

still need help with this one

[wind steppe]

How would i trigger an effect when exiting the shop under any circumstances? (eg. not in any sort of calculate)

[faint yacht]

...sort of figured this out, but that's a lot of pairs to dig into the table.

[turbid maple]

goddamn blind_states looks like a pain in the ass to fiddle with

[solid fjord]

How does one change the challenge description? (preferably without the localization file 🙂 )

[red flower]

with a localization file

[clear ocean]

made a little mod icon what do you guys think

[red flower]

you would add a custom rule:
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/e03cb29969f60c373d28e838b4cb10a575c1e5d0/src/others/Challenges.lua#L84

and then have it in the localization:
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/e03cb29969f60c373d28e838b4cb10a575c1e5d0/localization/default/03Challenges.lua#L10

[solid fjord]

😮‍💨 thank you

[red flower]

i just realized you have an avatar

i can see it in the orange background lol

[jolly shadow]

does anyone know why this doesn't work? im trying to detect when joker directly to the left is triggered

[solid fjord]

ahh yes, I didn't account for ultra dark theme discord. On 'ash' its fine

[red flower]

i like my oled screens

[wind steppe]

Is there any function that's called whenever the shop is exited?

[red flower]

you can search for the ending_shop context

it's probably there

[wind steppe]

where would i find that

[crystal perch]

still have no clue why this isn't working as it's similar to the recreated voucher tag code yet still produces bugs even on the blind selection screen

[heavy frigate]

A mod i'm making uses some modified base game textures (a couple recoloured or basic modifications, others like empty cards used to create fully custom things on top)
Can i actually do that, or do i need to redo some or nearly all my textures?

[wind steppe]

There's not a rule against that

[red flower]

i was telling you to not search it myself 😭

its G.FUNCS.toggle_shop

[solar eagle]

how would i get a list of all possible ranks?

[jolly shadow]

i tried printing stuff out and all that, no luck :[

[solar eagle]

dont want to hardcode them

[red flower]

SMODS.Ranks

[solar eagle]

ty!

[heavy frigate]

Thanks, guess i've seen enough mods that have copied parts from base game.
Just wanted to be sure

[jolly shadow]

did not know it required enabling, thats on me

[clear ocean]

what do you think about this

i could remove the abstract joker part and have the gimmick with zero or one joker slot and gain one per boss blind

[crystal perch]

that sounds more like a challenge than a deck

[clear ocean]

ill keep that in mind for challanges then hm

what about this or does this still sound like a challange

[willow scroll]

thank you so much!

[crystal perch]

that just sounds like one of the best decks in the game

[clear ocean]

what would be a good tradeoff?

[crystal perch]

especially for endless

[clear ocean]

or you can start with a low number of jokers with the tradeoff

[crystal perch]

consumable slots locked at 0?

[clear ocean]

well some jokers including powerful ones like perkeo won't work. maybe

[crystal perch]

exactly

[frigid cargo]

Bump

[crystal perch]

more jokers at the cost of your consmables

[clear ocean]

good idea

and to be fair you can get crystal ball if you really need one consumable slot

if this sounds like more like a challange i can go back to the drawing board

[heavy frigate]

Is there a way to change the texture of a single instance of a joker card?

[clear ocean]

the deck selves could be have a starter joker depending on the deck like nebula could be supernova or constellation.

[clear ocean]

maybe 1 joker slot might be a good trade off since you cannot rely on strong synergies early in the game

idk

what do you guys think

[willow scroll]

im sorry, can you elaborate?

[frigid cargo]

So like, similar to how enhancements are, i just use a sprite instead of shaders.

[willow scroll]

you can use SMODS.Joker:take_ownership and point to a different atlas and position

wait single instance

mb i cant read

[willow scroll]

im afraid thats going to be a custom drawstep

[daring fern]

Yes.

[willow scroll]

but definitely possible

[frigid cargo]

Oof idk what that is soooo… where do i start?

[willow scroll]

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

and also reading the source code of smods as they say to show how they implemented them

tbf i learned how to kind of use this two days ago so there may be better sources

[heavy frigate]

Oh. how?
Because right now i'm directly changing self.pos.x and all that does is change the texture of every instance of that card, including the one in the collection screen.

[daring fern]

You would do card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = number, y = number})

[frigid cargo]

I forgot smods wiki had that, ok thanks

[feral tree]

how would i remove the perishable sticker from a neighboring joker?

[worthy stirrup]

does anyone happen to know which shader is used for the background during a run

[heavy frigate]

Thanks, also i think the message before your edit had what i needed but how do i see the current pos value (i only really need x)

[daring fern]

Then you would do card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = number, y = card.children.center.sprite_pos.y})

[clear ocean]

thinking on have the abstract sleeves at least for the other decks starting with a joker related, not sure if i should go ahead and add the effect of the abstract deck

looking at the other sleeves its basically adds the decks ability and does something special if you pair it with the deck like red deck with red sleeve

[lusty glade]

am I stupid lmao. My first test joker loads in my collection but not my second one. Any guesses why? :0

(nvm I found out why lol- thx however!)

(this is my second joker for refference)

[heavy frigate]

Thanks so much, the issue have been bugging me for quite a while.
And it did also remind me i need to clean up my code at some point, as i found the load function placed inside the calculate function

[clear ocean]

finished with my first deck not sure if its good or not but i'll go ahead and work on the art

[faint yacht]

Huh, when I play the card with the new enhancement, it's considered as still in hand and trying to iterate over the played cards, they can't find themselves?
-# No, I am not using Hyperlink Seal.

[next timber]

rascal 👍

oop wrong chat. eh whatever close enogh

i mean i do have a question actually. is the yellow text at all intuitive

[modern kindle]

i dont know what defense is meant to be so it doesnt tell me much besides i apparently have 15 of it

also minor spelling mistake

[next timber]

defence is the correct spelling in british english

[modern kindle]

theres a reason the brits aint reppin smh

[next timber]

i mean yeah hopefully by the time the mod is fully set up the player should be able to learn what these mean, im specifically asking if it makes any sense where the yellow numbers come from

i mean hopefully theyll make more sense when editions and enhancements show the correct text

[modern kindle]

i mean i cant speak for something being intuitive if i cant know what it does

so if you think its intuitive when people know what things do then sure

cause blue traditionally means chips

[next timber]

idk

[modern kindle]

or it even could mean hands

[next timber]

the yellow numbers are meant to be the base number plus whatever boosts it gets from editions and enhancements and such

cause basically everything in rascal works on ranks instead of chips or mult

[vast bough]

does lua/smods natively support post and get requests without external dependencies

like does it have some form of http api

what is a juice_up?

[rocky plaza]

the shake that a joker does when it is triggered

[gilded goblet]

ohhhh

[rocky plaza]

oddly named but whatever

[gilded goblet]

LMAO yeah

[ocean sinew]

it should be named shake_card_object_effect

[wispy falcon]

What do you guys think would fit the style of the original Balatro soundtrack when opening one of my booster packs? The pack in question would be one where you get tokens (poker chips) as a consumable.

[heavy frigate]

How can i get the ante score (not the blind/G.GAME.blind.chips score)

[ocean sinew]

planet

[wispy falcon]

?

[ocean sinew]

planet theme

but

different

[lusty glade]

make it saxophone /j

[wispy falcon]

But would that fit poker chips? And what do you mean by 'different'?

[ocean sinew]

yes cuz poker chip get incremented by planet cards in vanilla game

[ocean sinew]

[lusty glade]

anyone got that problem where only 1 atlas' shows up lmao?

pretty sure its just a position problem but still lol

unless it would be cool to come up with a new suit along with these three

[old epoch]

Im trying to make an edition that retriggers any joker/card it is applied on, but it doesn't work. Could anyone help?

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.post_joker or (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play) then
             if context.repetition then
            return {
                repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions
            }
        end
    end
end

[daring fern]

if (context.repetition or context.retrigger_joker_check) and context.other_card == card then
    return {repetitions = card.edition.extra.repetitions}
end

[old epoch]

oh, lemme test that, thanks!

[frigid cargo]

You should hire a coder, it helps alot trust

[old epoch]

When on a joker, it retriggers the playing cards

[old epoch]

no >:)

[frigid cargo]

Prob check if type is joker/card, idk i dont code

[jolly shadow]

did you use the edited version of the code

[old epoch]

you are literally the main coder for our mod

[clear ocean]

looks like this is what the assets i need

[frigid cargo]

I know and i was swimming so can you blame me for not being there

[daring fern]

Yes, I fixed the code.

[old epoch]

oh, alright

[frigid cargo]

Somethingcom the goat

[old epoch]

The joker still doesn't retrigger, but it no longer retriggers the card

[jolly shadow]

did you enable the optional feature

[frigid cargo]

Hi dilly

    }
end

is this what all you need?

[faint yacht]

Well shit, https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/commit/2de11100d2668b9996cc92ff3521aa5a58a25974 kinda broke my hook...

[heavy frigate]

Ah, no context for the start of a new ante (would also settle for enter store)
Oh well guess i store the ante in my joker then check that to the actual ante and if new ante update jokers stored ante and do code.

[lusty glade]

anyone knows the name of the function for randomness please lmao ?

[rocky plaza]

pseudorandom(seed, min, max)

[lusty glade]

ty

wait what does ''seed" reffers to? :0

[rocky plaza]

so random numbers arent exactly random
they are generated based on a preexisting condition
this initial condition is called a seed

[frosty rampart]

you can set the seed to any string you want, typically you use something related to what you're using the random function for

[rocky plaza]

theres more to it, like Meta said the seed doesnt matter
just name it something relevant to the source of the randomness

[faint yacht]

Much like Cloudflare uses lava lamps for randomness. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/lava-lamp-encryption/

[lusty glade]

alr i'll try it! thanks yall!

[faint yacht]

hecc.

[heavy frigate]

Is score called score or is that also chips?

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.chips

[heavy frigate]

I'm on localization on a joker that deals with the score, and i don't know if i should call it score or chips.

[faint yacht]

"Score" is what I used.

[frigid birch]

chat is it possible for a joker to give -5 mult?

[jolly shadow]

yes

[frigid birch]

cool

[frigid birch]

like for the mult do I just put -5 or will that crash the game?

like mult = -5

[heavy frigate]

I guess i'll move over to it too. And i see you also used purple
Just feel the sentence (Currently 345 Score) feels a bit weird, guess i can reword it

[faint yacht]

You can mention Score outside of the (Currently ...) bit and color the number purple.

[feral tree]

bump

[daring fern]

Yes.

[heavy frigate]

I guess i could do that, and already use purple there.
Image of the text that is currently used:

[faint yacht]

(Currnetly

[frigid birch]

cool

[heavy frigate]

Oh yea that image still had that typeo

[feral tree]

is it even possible to rebuff a perishable debuffed joker?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.debuff_card(card, 'reset')?

[heavy frigate]

This seems a little better now

[faint yacht]

The primary reason I made that Joker is to fill this slot on the modded wiki. 😂

[feral tree]

doesn't work

[daring fern]

Code?

[feral tree]

Just this

Entire thing for context

[daring fern]

Yes, you also have to do card:set_debuff(false)

[heavy frigate]

I guess my joker also does that as at end of round it sets the score to the blind score (except for if in a game over state where it adds back that score)

[lusty glade]

hey! its me again lol. So using the pseudorandom I was trying to pull a random seal out of a table but it gives me an error stating that my table has a value nil, any idea how to fix it? Or maybe i'm approaching the situation the wrong way?

[daring fern]

Use pseudorandom_element also RandomSeal wouldn't exist yet.

[feral tree]

Still nothing, im trying to get it to rebuff a perishable joker after it gets debuffed

[daring fern]

Did you try card.debuff = false?

[lusty glade]

oh lmao that's a thing? imma try it out then
Also you're right I forgot there was an order of things. I'll try something else thanks!

[feral tree]

tf the difference between SMODS.debuff_card, set_debuff and card.debuff?

[wispy falcon]

Changed some stuff from the original soundtrack, does this sound good? It's for my boosterpacks :3

[wispy falcon]

Looks nice :)

[clear ocean]

is there a way to make the shading/gradating similar to the high contrast cards where its darker upwards

[lusty glade]

what does _t reffers to in the pseudorandom_element? :0

[daring fern]

The table.

[lusty glade]

oh

lmao that does help- big thx

[faint yacht]

local shfref = Card.should_hide_front
function Card:should_hide_front()
    local ret = shfref(self)
    if ret and next(SMODS.find_card('j_toga_cavingjkr')) and not self.config.center.replace_base_card then return false end
    return ret
end

[wispy falcon]

What isG.pack_cards.cards[1].config.center.mod.id?

[faint yacht]

Internal mod identifier string.

[frosty rampart]

specifically, the ID of the mod that the first card in some booster pack comes from

[wispy falcon]

Why does this not work for my boosterpack?

(In localization->descriptions->Others)

                name = "Chip Stack",
                group_name = "Gambler's Thing",
                text = {
                    "Test"
                }
            },```

[frosty rampart]

(i assume cstorm is your mod prefix) it needs to be p_cstorm_chip_stack

[wispy falcon]

Why does it say error there?

[jolly shadow]

Missing localization

[gilded blaze]

you did not specify group_name in loc_txt (or group_key if you're using localization file)

[frosty rampart]

^ if you do group_key, then you assign a string to the group key in misc -> dictionary in the loc file

[red flower]

also if you used group_name but also specified a group_key (common mistake i see) then it wont appear either

[feral tree]

if G.GAME.blind.chips is for the required chip blind then what's the chip score one?

[red flower]

G.GAME.chips

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-the-current-scored-chips-or-blind-requirement

[azure laurel]

hey, how i make the game to generate a random tag?

[wet crag]

she has received a glow up courtesy of my friend fox

[wispy falcon]

                name = "Chip Stack",
                group_key = "Gambler's Thing",
                text = {
                    "Test"
                }
            },```

and this in my dictionary

`group_key = "Gambler's Thing",`

So what is the wrong thing?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#tags

[frosty rampart]

group_key goes in the SMODS.Booster definitions, and you should make it something like 'k_chip_stack if it's for a chip stack
and the thing in the dictionary needs to be [whatever you defined as the group_key] = "Gambler's Thing" (assuming you want it to read "Gambler's Thing" in the text at the bottom)

[frigid cargo]

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "btct_Elite",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Elite"
    },
    default_weight = 0.0067,
    badge_colour = HEX('f59827'),
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}

My friend said he did not see an elite after 400 rerolls with 12 shop slots, what did I do wrong? (1/150 = 0.00666...)

[wispy falcon]

It works, thank you :D

this used to function, although that may be because of circumstance rather than it actually working: lua local use_consumeable_ref = Card.use_consumeable ---@diagnostic disable-next-line: duplicate-set-field function Card:use_consumeable(area,copier) local joker = SMODS.find_card("j_mode_poor_bonus") if next(joker) and self.area == G.consumeables then G.hand:change_size(next(joker).ability.extra.h_mod) end return use_consumeable_ref(self,area,copier) end
It's supposed to add 1 (or rather add h_mod) if you use a consumable, but it doesn't do it. After checking with some prints it seems like it never enters the if block, even if the card is definitely there. Any ideas?

Why do I crash

[frigid cargo]

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = "btct_Elite",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Elite"
    },
    default_weight = 0.0067,
    badge_colour = HEX('f59827'),
    pools = {Joker = true},
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}

like this?

[daring fern]

Anyone here have experience with custom hands? Because I could use a little (a lot of) help. I'd like to make a hand called split flush, where the three of a kind is all one suit, and the pair is all one, different suit. I'll attach my code, but as it is, it detects the hand in at least: two pair where the pairs are each one different, suit, three of a kind of all one suit, and NOT the proper hand.

does anyone know how to check if a lucky_mult procs with context.identifier == 'lucky_mult'
N said before thats its for probability context but I cant seem to figure out what to do still

[final jewel]

How does ease_background_colour() work?

im trying to make a practice area where people can play the minigames but i cant seem to figure out how to get to a 'blank' splash screen, ideally it would just be the normal swirls in the background and the title card, but remove any cards present and close whatever menus i got there with but i am at a loss

so any uiers in chat

[gilded blaze]

G.FUNCS.close_overlay_menu() iirc

[modern kindle]

epic thanks

[faint yacht]

...genuinely stuck with this.

local shfref = Card.should_hide_front
function Card:should_hide_front()
    local ret = shfref(self)
    if ret and next(SMODS.find_card('j_toga_cavingjkr')) then return false else return ret end
end

Hey all, apologies for how crap my code probably is, but I'm having an issue with my Joker. Her ability is that she has a rotating poker hand, and whenever that hand is the first hand played in a round, she destroys the first scored card and permanently adds the scoring values of that card to the base values for the poker hand. (For example, a Mult Ace gives +11 Chips and +4 Mult, a Polychrome 4 gives +4 Chips and multiplies the base mult of the hand at that time by x1.5). In any case, this ability works, but whenever a planet card is used for a hand that has been augmented, it actually reduces the values of the hand back down to what they would normally be at that level. Is there any way that I can prevent that? Here is her Lua for reference.

hmm close overlay caused a nil crash..

[lusty glade]

I can’t help you but I gotta say

Wha

Flappy bird in balatro lmao that’s so cool

[modern kindle]

here ill record better vids for u one sec

[final jewel]

I think this make me crash

[lusty glade]

On another note (while I wait for the vid lol-) anyone knows a good seed idea for pseudorandom that keeps changing?
Thought I would check on the Vanilla mod but they use a custom seed that I have no clue what it reffers to lol-
