Official Balatro code barely looks like any modded code

#

You can learn how to do things from it, but I think you need to be very comfortable reading and understanding code to really get much out of it. Especially because sometimes you'll be figuring stuff out in the vanilla code, while smods has a newer and more efficient implementation of it, already

I felt like I was going insane trying to set that up, and realizing that the way seals handle UI is by just checking if there's a badge, haha.

heres what i figured from coding yggdrasil and stacked
- if you want to create custom info queues, patch into generate_card_ui, and add into the info_queue table in there
- if you want to create badges, patch into G.UIDEF.card_h_popup

midnight coyote
crimson marlin
#

same

manic rune
#

this is what i did to add badges

hushed field
manic rune
#

this is what i did to add info_queues from extra effects

hushed field
#

My plan is to take some time tomorrow and see if I can make some changes at the SMODS level that make this easier to handle, haha

manic rune
#

yeah thatd be nice

#

unrelated but rn stacked's ui breaks with entropy which kinda sucks 3:

hushed field
#

I ran into some issues with setting calculations up as well. Or, issues, more just me not knowing

manic rune
#

stacked's calculate is really simple so i didnt come into that much trouble with setting it up

#

all i did was hooking into Card:calculate_joker :3

hushed field
#

I assume Stacked works similarly to how I handled spells, which is real easy, haha

manic rune
#

id imagine you will want to hook into uhh something else though, i talked about it here before, lemme check

hushed field
#

I've got it all set up and working, I think, but I just kept running into little hurdles of needing an additional patch, haha

#

Calculations at a card layer level are hardcoded in at multiple steps in the process, is what I learned

manic rune
#

this one is more generalized

#

i think it should check all contexts?

#

shrug

#

i havent tried that approach though

hushed field
#

That sounds like it might be a good target for the mod calculate function PR

#

Yeah, my issue was just that in imitating seals, I didn't just need to patch in a calculate_counters, but also add counters as a key to some arrays, haha

i don’t know how to PR the wiki

#

i tried forking it

#

but

#

it didn’t take the wiki with it?

manic rune
#

i dont think you need to fork it

hushed field
#

Also wanna sit down at some point and maybe see if I can mess with the way blinds are handled internally, because a lot of that stuff feels spread out and annoying to figure out as well

red flower
manic rune
midnight coyote
#

oh

manic rune
#

u can press here and it will lead you to the wiki github lol

midnight coyote
#

am an idiot

manic rune
#

yeah its fine, it took me a good 5 minutes to figure that out too

red flower
#

the only thing I don't recommend editing is the calculation page because eremel is rewriting it

wintry solar
#

In all that spare time I have

manic rune
hushed field
#

Might just go through a dump and mark all stuff that's hardcoded in and see how easy it'd be to make it modular

wintry solar
#

I also don’t have a huge amount of time to actually read wiki PRs so if people are interested in reading through and making sure they: a) are accurate; and b) make sense, just leave a comment on them and that would be very helpful

manic rune
#

*looks at N'

red flower
#

i dont know how to read

manic rune
#

guess we are both in the 98% then

#

i would volunteer to help but i dont think im qualified myself lmao

wintry solar
#

N does a lot of help already, and this is a community effort, I’d like to see more of you guys help out where you can, and reading a wiki PR and trying it out is certainly something most people who are reasonably confident using smods should be able to do

hushed field
#

Reading wiki stuff I can definitely start helping with

manic rune
#

i didnt know this existed actually

image.png
#

looks incredibly helpful since there has been a few people who struggled with what G/G.GAME has

wintry solar
#

But generally, smods is a project run by volunteers (though mostly me at present) who do stuff in their free time for fun. Having messages complaining about things being missing from the wiki, or PRs not being merged yet, whilst might seem helpful to you, is demotivating and makes me less likely to do it

chrome widget
#

Yeah unlike a big funded project that can handle basically whatever feedback and filter what's needed, feedback for this kind of thing needs to be constructive and supportive because it also doubles as compensation for the work

manic rune
#

im sorry to hear that, please take your time with the new documentation :3

#

i want to take a shot on making vanilla ui functions documentation tomorrow

modern kindle
#

I should start funding this project instead then and make it worth the time 😎

manic rune
#

and general guides on like, how to create an overlay menu and stuff

#

the scariest part about ui is just not knowing where to use the nodes imo

chrome widget
#

UI stuff is definitely one of the lighter documented things, so people would benefit from it a lot!!

hushed field
#

I have a bunch of notes that I could realistically turn into some documentation. What to hook for which end result, for example

manic rune
#

knowing which function to hook to, where to patch to get your results would be really nice

red flower
#

if anything doesn't fit smods docs feel free to let me know and i can include it in the vremade wiki

chrome widget
#

A lot of UI hooking that I do looks like complete garbage magic

modern kindle
#

Id love to actually pr things but I am not confident enough to make it something acceptable to people
So I kinda just sit around

hushed field
#

I assume most people have a similar issue as I have when it comes to documenting UI functions, and that is that even if you get end results, it still feels like guessing, haha

rocky plaza
#

uhuh
would yall be ok with me working on a pull request to add some other clarifications to the wiki
i want to contribute somehow but dont have enough time or energy to actually do work on source code

frosty rampart
#

documentation on hooks in general would be nice too I think. from what I can tell most people point to some forum post that isn't even related to balatro modding as a starting point

red flower
hushed field
wintry solar
#

The main thing is, is that writing documentation that people are going to find useful is hard, especially when it’s about things that you’ve created and iterated upon so know how they work implicitly

manic rune
#

eremel has been really nice with my prs despite how horrendously the code is set up ngl

frosty rampart
modern kindle
wintry solar
manic rune
#

i feel like he would achieve better results by just, reading my code to know where i did it and redo it from scratch lmao

wintry solar
#

Any code stuff I just rewrite if it needs it

red flower
#

A lot of people want tutorials and not documentation, telling them that a function returns a boolean is gibberish sometimes

wintry solar
manic rune
#

gulp

hushed field
#

Finding the proper base line is such a difficult skill that there's uni degrees dedicated to proper copy writing, haha

#

When I was working with setting up LLM training stuff for linguistic research, I was harshly confronted with the fact that even when codebases are documented, good documentation is a whole separate skill, haha. Smods has a lot of gaps that came to be over time, but I personally think the existing documentation is really clear. But yeah, it's definitely not a tutorial.

red flower
#

i also work with LLMs and had the same experience haha

manic rune
#

3: i cant relate, i jumped straight into balatro modding

rocky plaza
manic rune
#

probably why i didnt know that many coding terms too lol, like instead of iterating i used to say "go through the table" before

rocky plaza
#

also yeah good documentation takes lots of effort

manic rune
#

true

#

you need a lot of outside opinions too

wintry solar
#

writing docs is also boring lol

manic rune
#

im used to it

#

ive been writing 500+ words essay thrice a day for 2 weeks now 3:
-# im growing sick of english by now

rocky plaza
manic rune
#

mhm

rocky plaza
hushed field
#

Tbf, don't assume me having touched LLMs means I'm a programmer of any kind, haha. The basics are as approachable as any random type of application. There's just a classic ecosystem of nerds writing documentation that is entirely unaware of a realistic baseline, and both crunch and passionate iteration make it so a lot of code libraries just are very badly documented. The luxury of having knowledgeable people around to bother and get answers from is an insane difference, haha

chrome widget
#

Yeah unfortunately for a lot of newer programmers, reading function documentation is not easy. And partially it's because for a lot of traditional programming language documents, it assumes a conceptual background that allows people to make more assumptions

#

It's why I always really enjoyed the Unity scripting documentation because it provides a direct example of almost everything it actually documents

hushed field
#

It's a weird balance where reading documentation is a skill, and writing it is a skill, and if both parties are unskilled, it's a real bother, haha

rocky plaza
chrome widget
#

Yeah. It's hard to build that skill without documentation geared towards the unskilled, but it's hard to write that documentation when you're skilled and primarily sharing for other skilled people, since it seems like bloat

#

In general that's also a major part of code readability and a skill too. Being able to make your code readable to less skilled or less familiar people

I hate commenting code other than with doc strings

chrome widget
#

I'm personally in the camp nowadays of "code needs to be readable on its own without comments", and typically I only primarily comment code for function defs, or if something is required to be segmented across multiple files and it's hard to find those assumptions

hushed field
rocky plaza
chrome widget
#

I will also occasionally use comments for general file organization as well

frosty rampart
#

ah right yea function defs i should probably get comments on
i'm the resident IDE hater so stuff like the LSP tends to slip past me if i don't purposefully think about it

hushed field
#

I comment my code in part because I've seen people link my code to very green devs, haha. I mostly use it to section things, because if a lot of lines get close to each other I lose sight very easily

I keep wanting to learn more about Love2D as a whole just to help me figure out some stuff as well. There aren't too many people I can ask about how to handle UI boxes interacting with shaders, after all, haha

wintry solar

I’ll post it here when it’s out

#

And whatever other dev channels I remember about if you’re in any of those

rotund sable
wintry solar
#

Right, time to finish this card limit stuff

chrome widget
#

Card limit stuff?

wintry solar
#

It makes card limit modifiers on cards affect the area they’re in

chrome widget
#

Don't they already?

#

Or do you mean just like aside from the specific one used for editions

hushed field
#

They do in the vanilla card areas because they're hardcoded to, right?

wintry solar
#

if you put a negative joker in your consumable slots you'll still have 6 joker slots

#

and 2 consumable slots

#

if you put a negative card in a custom area, nothing happens

hidden notch
#

Will there also be official support for Cards that take 2 up slots then (for example)?

chrome widget
wintry solar
chrome widget
#

It's technically not, though it's a slight difference in how the mechanic is perceived by the player

wintry solar
#

that's true

chrome widget
#

"-1 slots" is a penalty. "Takes up two slots" feels more like it's a big important thing that deserves space

hidden notch
#

I mean yeah.. Kinda?
If I have a -1 Slot property I can still pick the Joker up if there's a Slot open x3
If the Joker "Takes up 2 Slots" I just can't take it

wintry solar
#

I don't think it'd let you take a joker with a -1 slot if you only have 1 slot, though I havent tried yet

chrome widget
#

Logically it shouldn't because the game tries to avoid putting you in a position where you have more items than the slots visibly allow

#

Which is why negatives in the first place extend your slots

#

Rather than just not count against the limit

wintry solar
#

hmmm, it does right now

#

oh I havent patched that function yet woops

hidden notch
wintry solar
#

yeah I can see the logic behind it

#

okay yeah it won't let you buy a card with -1 slots if you're at 4/5

hushed field
#

I didn't even realize that was an extant property already

play_sound() takes the key of the sound you made as a string, and there shouldn't be a file extension
it should be play_sound("thesillymod_horse", 0.7, 0.5)

rocky plaza
#

dont forget the quotation marks

tulip radish
#

ok its the same error again?????

frosty rampart
#

it might need to be SMODS.Sound with an uppercase S?

crimson marlin
#

ye

tulip radish
#

ok it works! (i did NOT realize it needed to be a capital S)

#

well

#

SEMI works apparently

#

(the crash doesnt happen anymore, but in testing the sound just DOESNT play?)

#

it may be because im on a continued save

#

nope

#

this joker MAY just have to go soundless until i figure out how tf to get the sound to work

rotund sable
#

Is the sound present when you open the file manually

tulip radish
faint yacht

SMODS.Sound({key = "farts", path = "farts.ogg"})

i WAS using play_sound before

play_sound('modprefix_farts')

when working on a single feature I recommend keeping things in one file until you think it gets big enough to split

multiple files will just make it confusing

if you start getting lost when looking for stuff then it's too big

And for UI stuff I need to make use of patches?

depends on what you're doing, jokerdisplay is a UI mod that doesn't use a single patch but my other mod uses patches for UI stuff frequently
"UI stuff" is too broad a category

So I wanted to be silly and tried to create a Blueprint that repeats the left jokers effect multiple times; Well, I learned the hard way that trying to merge the same effect crashes the game. I should've seen that coming lewxen_Noblewoman_Laugh

But my Question is: Any good way of repeating another Jokers effect multiple times?

-# Crashing Code attached

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  local copy_effect = nil
  -- get left joker effect
  for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
      if i > 1 then copy_effect = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[i - 1], context) end
      break
    end
  end
  if copy_effect then
    -- example: just do 4
    local repeats = 4
    local merged_hell = {}
    for i = 1, repeats do
      -- freezes when merging same effect
      merged_hell = SMODS.merge_effects( { merged_hell }, { copy_effect or {} } )
    end
    return merged_hell
  else
    return nil

if you still want to do it like a copy then you need to copy the table

tho thats not very straightforward with return tables i think

I've been trying to make a joker that levels up a played hand by how many times it has been played, The level up code with smart_level_up works with a test hand (Pair) but when I try anything relating to the hand played it crashes. I am probably doing something wrong, all I need is like an easier way for it to level up the played hand

(ie if I played a pair 3 times I want it to level up by 3)

wintry solar
#

do you have the count of how often it's been played?

gaunt folio
#

The one I have works with the level up thing

#

(G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played)

#

but removing .played makes it crash so

wintry solar
#

just put level_up = G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played in your return function

gaunt folio
#

okay nevermind i think i messed something else up that would explain crashing

#

gonna try some other trial and error bc it worked before with trying "Pair"

fading kiln
#

does anyone know how to stop check_for_unlock triggering when starting a run?

#

cause currently it checks before the deck is loaded so it always unlocks as soon as run starts

red flower
# wintry solar it's still broken though, right?

sorry i had to test it myself so i understood lol
but no it makes sense (although it probably shouldnt work this way), in the second iteration you're adding t to t so it makes a recursive table

gaunt folio
rocky plaza
#

yo is there a function i can hook to prevent a certain enhancement from being copied?

gaunt folio
wintry solar
red flower
#

the fix would probably be to just copy each value in the return tables and in extra manually in merge_effects

#

copy_table would probably crash with card objects

i think that makes more sense actually

my solution was a shallow copy of everything except for the extra table and then doing a pseudo deep copy of that

glad osprey
#

actually

#

its just card.seal

gaunt folio
#

I meant if it has a specific seal

frosty rampart
#

card.seal will be a string containing which type of seal if it has one, and it will be nil if the card has no seal
use debugplus, hover over a card with a seal with your mouse, and do eval dp.hovered.seal in the command prompt. dp.hovered gets the card object that you're currently hovering over for debugplus purposes

gaunt folio
#

ah

#

im dumb lol

TLDR what I want to do is when my joker disappears, I want every playing card with a specified seal to disappear too

this is idk probably atrocious code copied from recreated vanilla jokers but what would I do as scripts like this do nothing

alright attempt 2

nope it still keeps the cards.

might be something else tho i found so

imma try

red flower

joker keys are formatted as "j_key" for vanilla and "j_[mod's prefix]_key" for modded

Do lower prioritys for .TOML files load after higher priorities?

and do they load based on mod load order too

okay since that didnt work i lowkey dont know what to do

#

still no work

#

it shouldn't be

gaunt folio
#

mines honestly pasted inside some gros michel script but the script itself works fine so im probably messing it up somewhat just pasting it in there so

#

all other functions work as intended so

azure laurel
#

now works

#

good luck i stop to try and not make all the jokers compatible

this is probably atrocious code so idk

gaunt folio
#

to delete all cards with the "OneSeal" seal from the deck

red flower
#

i get that but when, how, why

gaunt folio
#

turns out im a bonehead

red flower
#

also side note that is not relevant to your issue but the smods examples are somewhat outdated, i recommend checking vanillaremade

gaunt folio
#

I put the destroy thing after the card gets destroyed so

red flower
#

so?

#

that shouldn't be an issue

gaunt folio
#

I put it before the destroy seal card command and it works now

red flower
#

weird

gaunt folio
#

when its paced like this

image.png
red flower
#

that shouldn't be relevant haha

gaunt folio
#

okay now it works perfectly for some reason

#

issue resolved ig

red flower
#

im going to check myself because if that's true that sounds like an smods bug

gaunt folio
#

might be but who knows

#

all i gotta say at this poitn for me is if it aint broke dont fix it

fading kiln
gaunt folio
#

unlocked = true,

this string maybe?

glad osprey
#

can i make an animated texture faster

frank ridge
#

I cant get my joker to count the cards drawn to hand after the first hand, but it will count initial drawn hand and the cards drawn from second hand on

fading kiln
#

but it triggers before the deck is loaded so it auto unlocks

Hi, I'm new to lua, modding in general, everything really 😅

If I'm understanding things correctly I'm wondering if the following would effectively disable the ability to play High Card and make it not show up on the list of hands. Or if there is another simpler or better way to do so.

{
visible = false,
evaluate = function(parts, hand)
        return {},

hey folks, i've been thinking about making a sort of "bot" that can play balatro on its own, and maybe win a run? one can dream, but anyway
my first idea is to make it as a mod, but i have zero previous experience with writing mods for any game, let alone balatro, and i'm not entirely sure if smods provides the apis necessary for a mod to be able to play the game entirely on its own
would this be feasible with smods? or would i have to find some other way to programmatically play the game?
i do see there's some prior art for this here, but i haven't seen if that provides exactly what i want yet

wispy falcon
molten harbor
#

also it doesn't seem to have a license so i can't actually use it...

red flower
molten harbor
#

well i guess the fact that that project exists is enough to let me know a mod should work for this

#

Yeah I don't think smods provides any functionality that would help with this but lua is pretty flexible and you can basically control anything in the game so it shouldn't be that hard to accomplish

molten harbor
#

mhm ok

hopefully i like lua, haven't done much coding in it

#

is there a way to change the ability of an edition based on the card type it's on, or ban it from appearing on certain card types?

#

also, is there a way to change something when a Joker with that edition is taken, and when it's sold or destroyed or loses the edition?

#

this is for an edition that adds 1 consumable slot, but adds 1 discard if on a playing card instead

slim ferry
#

might be

#

Variables missing though

Since that way of adding tooltips doesnt use the default config values automatically

glad osprey
#

is there like a globally agreed upon way to specify that a joker is a food joker

cursive gazelle
glad osprey
#

i mean internally 😭

frosty rampart
#

at least somewhat, yes. here's what paperback does:

if not SMODS.ObjectTypes.Food then
  SMODS.ObjectType {
    key = 'Food',
    default = 'j_egg',
    cards = copy_table(PB_UTIL.vanilla_food),
  }
end

this checks if the "Food" ObjectType already exists, and if it doesn't, it creates it and adds all the vanilla food jokers to it (PB_UTIL.vanilla_food is a table defined elsewhere that contains the keys for all the vanilla food jokers).
then, you just add this to any custom jokers you want to count as a food joker: pools = { Food = true },

#

it's highly recommended to do the check because cryptid doesn't do the check lmao, so it'll collide if you also don't do the check

glad osprey
#

does the table look like "key" or key = true

frosty rampart
#

the vanilla_food table? key = true

breaking my head here, I'm trying to make a joker to modify the propriety of a ench card, which has a property to "debuff" after a certain amount of uses, I don't know if I have to make a newer funtion to work it out

    cost = 20,
    config = { extra = { hands_left = 10 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "fnaf_WIP", set = "Other" }
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { key = "fnaf_sprite_WIP", set = "Other" }
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.hands_left } }
    end,    
}```
# 
SMODS.Enhancement {
    key = 'pizza',
    atlas = 'Enhancers',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { bonus = 200, extra = {hands_left = 5}},
    replace_base_card = true,
    no_rank = true,
    no_suit = true,
    always_scores = true,
    shatters = true,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local chica_check = false
        if SMODS.find_card('j_fnaf_chica') and chica_check == false then
            card.ability.extra.hands_left = 15
            chica_check = true
        end
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = {key = "fnaf_sprite_WIP", set = "Other"}
        return { vars = { card.ability.bonus, card.ability.extra.hands_left} }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if card.ability.extra.hands_left > 0 then
                card.ability.extra.hands_left = card.ability.extra.hands_left - 1

chat how do i change the required blind score

#

i remember you have to do an extra line to change it visually as well as changing the actual value internally

red flower
rapid stag
#

is there a way i can change the card destruction sound? like say, during context.destroy_card i return a sound argument and that changes the card destroy sound

stiff locust
#

you could just play a louder sound when a card is destroyed

#

and drown out the quieter sound

#

hook remove_from_deck and use play_sound() to play an smods sound

#

:)

#

there might be a way to change the internal sound with like malverk or smthn

If I've created a new one

it allows colour and time but not silent

#

now works

#

But my problem persists, it seems that my new area, for some reason, has a memory leak when moving the jokers

can you hepl me whit something

im trying to make a joker that moves in to another joker slot when the blind is selected

that would let you manipulate the positions of jokers without any table shenanigans

how do i do that?

If this is the wrong channel to post it in, then I'll move. And before you ask, yes, I am aware that someone has already made a Balatro calculator. This one is being made to calculate both vanilla Balatro and modded Balatro. Right now, I need a spreadsheet formula that can show the possible combinations of cards so it can then calculate what the highest scoring hand is.

Is there a built-in way to have any calculations that do run when an object is debuffed? 🤔

#

Yeah, I guess that's the way to go, haha. I wonder what the best approach is. To just add a new context that runs once on debuffed objects, or give counters their own debuff_check function or something

im very lazy and tired 😭

how to get the current hand size

It’s in G.hand.config i believe

G.hand.config.card_limit?

like joker?

Mhm

Hey N

I think I might just see if I can add a new context that runs when cards are debuffed, and just pass the normal context's along in a sub table 🤔

dont think it's any different?
do i need to swap anything around (the helper functions just return the node wrapped in a column or row respectively)

Has a joker like this

red flower
#

oh i never played playbook

cursive gazelle
#

Basically it’s a joker with a card area that appears when you highlight it and disappears when you don’t

#

And it counts in scoring

#

If that’s what you’re looking for

red flower
#

yeah but it needs to specifically be the same cardarea every time, not a copy of it

#

i have a couple like that but they are copies when they display

cursive gazelle
#

You’ll have to read the code and see

#

Can’t you offset the cardarea position ?

spice wadi

hello! I'm new to balatro modding, and I'm trying to get started with a fairly complicated, though still simple joker that detects if you have 4 or more hands, and gives you a 3x mult. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

red flower
#

i want to specifically draw it inside the ui nodes so i dont have to worry about aligning it

frosty rampart
sharp geyser
#

alright thanks

spice wadi
#

new question, how should these be aligned? having a hard time getting vertical center alignment, wondering if its necessary

image.png
cursive gazelle
#

Add some padding

#

It’s just annoying to align different ui elements together

#

I would just move the page to another row

#

Down

#

And call it a day

spice wadi
#

the menu is too tall as it is

#

it feels wrong having too many rows for this anyway

cursive gazelle
#

That’s why an extra tab hurt nobody

#

Lol

spice wadi
#

im not going to just "call it a day" on smth like this anyway

cursive gazelle
#

Aikoyori’s fault

everything in less places works better

maybe im a perfectionist

definitely 😭

fluid nebula
#

i think i'll do the base joker mechanics and then try and do the codependency of them

#

so i program their basic function and scaling, test it out, then make them try to buff each other

ts frying me, why does putting offset on the cycle do absolutely nothing 😭

im going to bed after this because my brain isnt working

if you made it with smods gradients just do {C:modprefix_key}

is there an easy way to make the background move faster

i see. thank you

#

i don't know why i didn't consider mimicing VRemade mail-in rebate

#

it's not like making a unique variable separate from mail-in rebate would be a challenge. it would just need a different name.
