[ocean sinew]

I forgot to set applied_mutation_badges to true

[fluid nebula]

the old snippet from mail-in rebate to reset the card?

[ocean sinew]

now done

[cursive gazelle]

Seu pai is cooking off stage

[ocean sinew]

why it gives this error though 😭

[cursive gazelle]

I see no V

Here

[ocean sinew]

I can't

wait

where?

[cursive gazelle]

No i mean there’s no v here

LOL

[ocean sinew]

Exactly 😭

how am I supposed to discover the error that way 😭

function mutation_set_badges(self,card,badges)
    print('called?')
    local badges_to_create = {}
    local badges_amount = {}
    print("mutations:",card.mutations)
    for i,v in ipairs(card.mutations) do
           local badge = v.center.badge
           if badges_amount[badge] == nil then badges_amount[badge] = 0 end
           if not table.find(badges_to_create, badge) then
            table.insert(badges_to_create, badge)
           end
           badges_amount[badge]=badges_amount[badge]+1
        end
    for i,v in ipairs(badges_to_create) do
        local display_name = v.display_name
        if badges_amount[v] >1 then
            --display_name=display_name.." x"..badges_amount[v]
        end
        --[[local this_badge = create_badge(display_name,v.colour,v.text_colour,v.scale)
        badges[#badges+1] = this_badge]]
    end
end

there is v in there

but its not being concatenated

[cursive gazelle]

Just check for nil

[frosty rampart]

the error says it's trying to concatenate when v is a function

[cursive gazelle]

The resolution is crazy

[ocean sinew]

I FIXED IT

IDK HOW

I just assumed it was happening because of back objects and it worked

[cursive gazelle]

[ocean sinew]

now any deck has the atlas of red deck though

Idk whyyy

😭

someone help meee

OH WAIT NVM

ITS BECAUSE I AM PLAYING RED DECK

😭

[cursive gazelle]

Why

What

[fluid nebula]

should i place the code snippet in the loc_vars segment, then?

[knotty orchid]

Has anyone experienced memory leak issues in their mod? I'm really lost man

[limber blaze]

is there a way to vary the weight of a booster pack depending on certain circumstances in the current run

[ocean sinew]

IT WORKED YESSS

NOW I GOT MUTATIONS

[limber blaze]

other than like patching a bunch of shit

what i mean basically is that is this functionality built in

[knotty orchid]

I don't think so

you can implement a custom weight system

[limber blaze]

it is

but the documentation doesnt mention it

[knotty orchid]

Oh

[red flower]

i love undocumented features

[knotty orchid]

I implemented it myself as an idiot lol

[knotty orchid]

N do you have any idea bout this?

you're really good at this hAHHAHA

[red flower]

i have experienced memory leaks with jokerdisplay i never fixed

so no

[knotty orchid]

Fk

I'll try disabling talisman just in case

I've been the last 2 days trying to fix this memory leaks problem with no success, im tired 🙁

[rocky plaza]

yo if i have an event with a delay like 4 * G.SPEEDFACTOR
will it be guaranteed to delay for 4 seconds regardless of gamespeed

[frosty rampart]

that sounds right but I dunno if G.SPEEDFACTOR is precisely the correct variable off the top of my head

yea it is

why that doesnt work

[distant junco]

err odd question but can i dubuff tarot cards with SMODS.debuff_card

[faint yacht]

Should be able to just fine.

[azure laurel]

hey, my boss blind isnt working and idk how?

[faint yacht]

context.during_scoring?

[azure laurel]

i tried other things that didint work and it was 3am

my brain wasnt working well

[slim ferry]

There is a list of contexts on the wiki

[azure laurel]

i tried them and still nothing

[faint yacht]

Describe the intended effect.

[slim ferry]

Its because youre checking for other contexts in a check for context.debuff_hand

That arent called at the same time as context.debuff_hand

[azure laurel]

still dont work

[long sun]

how do you get the list of all suits in the pool?

[primal robin]

Hey salty ghosh, back to good old avatar?

[long sun]

yup :3

[red flower]

SMODS.Suits
if you want a random one you can use pseudorandom_element on it and it respects in_pool

[primal robin]

We are cooking so hard (playing daily sudoku)

[long sun]

awesome, thanks :D!

[azure laurel]

someone?

[olive wren]

Is there a way that I can debug myself a booster pack

[azure laurel]

like make it appear?

[olive wren]

yeah

[azure laurel]

you have the debugplus mod installed?

[olive wren]

yeah

[azure laurel]

go to a shop, then in the collection hover the booster you want to spawn and press 3

[olive wren]

ok thx

[azure laurel]

np

[olive wren]

How does card rarity weights work

Im trying to figure out how common I should make my jokers

[wild escarp]

How can I debuff all cards that meet a certain criteria currently in deck for a joker?

[fluid nebula]

should i put everything from if to end in the loc_vars section of my code?

[olive wren]

How can I get the booster pack to have two card rarities

[hushed field]

iterate over all of them in the card's add to deck function and debuff from there

[hushed field]

are you adding a new rarity?

[olive wren]

I have two custom rarities

[hushed field]

In this case, you can roll for the rarity in the create_card function, and then pass only one along

[olive wren]

I want both to be able to appear at the same time though

[frosty rampart]

create_card is called for each individual card I think

[olive wren]

But doesnt the park rarity need to be determined before the pack is opened

pack

bc right now it is only doing the trash cards

[frosty rampart]

by randomly picking one of the two rarities in the create_card function, that random pick is made each time each individual card is created in the pack

[olive wren]

oh ok

do you think I could weight that so that the trash cards appear more commonly

[frosty rampart]

yes this is pretty basic programming logic
get a random number from 1 to 4, only spawn a non-trash card if the number = 4. now there's a 25% chance to get a non-trash and a 75% chance to get a trash

[olive wren]

I might be dumb mb

thx

[wintry solar]

👨‍🍳

[olive wren]

This is what I did, and it just is not working for some reason

Is it bc of me trying to make a variable again

It was bc of me trying to make a variable again

I hath fixed it

[distant junco]

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        SMODS.debuff_card(G.tarot_cards, true, "tarotdebuff")
    end
```ok well this is obviously wrong

[crimson marlin]

you probably have to define what is being debuffed

[fallow urchin]

any thoughts on how to create a joker which triggers the joker to the right BEFORE cards are scored (i.e. context.before) . My first thought is to either call the jokers calculate function with a modified context where the it is prematurely set to joker.main, which does 90% of what I want but ends up triggering all jokers to the right. Copying/creating a context to pass to calculate (or SMODS.blueprint_effect) does nothing. I feel like im so close but am missing something

i also tried calling calculate with the modified context & immedietly restoring but that also ends up doing nothing)

[hushed field]

The issue with joker_main as your test case is that it would only work for jokers that trigger in joker_main, which will definitely feel off to players

[fallow urchin]

that's intended, i wouldn't want retrigger jokers triggering on an empty card

[hushed field]

Cryptid has this joker implemented and the way it works is truly by just hardcoding what should happen in for every vanilla and modded jokers

[fallow urchin]

BRUH

[frosty rampart]

yes they literally add a new context.forcetrigger and add behavior for that context to every single vanilla and cryptid joker and you have to use context.forcetrigger if you want it to work with your own modded jokers too

[fluid nebula]

need help. happens when i hover over my joker.

[fallow urchin]

i did get a 'compatible' description working that just copied blueprint compat but I could go further (probably have to hard code) to limit it

[hushed field]

Something else to keep in mind is that Balatro's jokers, and the entire modded ecosystem because of that, are not built to internally distinguish between separate parts of an effect. Only ever wanting to check joker_main is probably the safest, but you'd also need to be able to communicate that to the player. Otherwise you can run into the issue where there's multiple effects that trigger on the joker. Think of some scaling jokers, for example, where there's a difference between what scales a value up, and what scores the joker

I've looked into setting a similar system up and I truly don't think there's a way to do it that's both generically functional while also making sense to players somewhat intuitively

[hushed field]

Modifying the context will pretty fundamentally alter how things get called and checked, yeah

[wintry solar]

there are also jokers that will prepare values in other contexts to use in joker main

[fluid nebula]

can anybody help with this?

[wintry solar]

where do you create valid_ass_cards?

[fluid nebula]

everything from if to end was written to me by the wonderful s

i placed it in loc_vars after all else failed

[frosty rampart]

yes, but where do you create valid_ass_cards

[wintry solar]

the first line is where you crash

[fluid nebula]

honestly i am very bad at modding so i apologise

[fluid nebula]

values are reset here

honestly i just copied a lot of vanillaremade's mail-in rebate

[wintry solar]

well firstly, that's a local table so you cannot access it in your loc_vars function

secondly, you also need to make sure you run this function when you hover the joker for the first time

[fluid nebula]

oh

sorry

[distant junco]

bump!

[fluid nebula]

going to look for the context that allows it to trigger when the joker is hovered over for the first time, thank you eremel

[daring fern]

Firstly G.tarot_cards doesn't exist, Secondly, SMODS.debuff_card takes a card, not a card area.

[rocky plaza]

How would one prevent the player from pausing the game for a certain amount of time?

[fallow urchin]

is there a way to modify the likelyhood a given joker spawns with an edition?

[quick scarab]

Still trying to figure this out, do I need to create a class to achieve this?

[daring fern]

Hook G.FUNCS.options

[quick scarab]

Like the variable is being read in the file

But it doesn't work

Hold up

[frosty rampart]

what exactly is your goal here

[quick scarab]

My goal is to "import" a data from another game to be used on the mod

Like a High score of the game being used as mult

For instance

I tried to make it read the file bit Smods doesn't support it

[frosty rampart]

i know there's lua system functions to read the file

[daring fern]

Did you try NFS.read?

[frosty rampart]

yea that

[quick scarab]

Kinda

It isn't a txt file

I made a .Lua file where the player would have to put the variables

Kinda jank

[frosty rampart]

if you're gonna have the player manually write out the variables, might as well just make it a txt file for them

[quick scarab]

This is the best I can do with my experience

Also wait

That's why I didn't do that

I don't know if this was implemented yet

[frosty rampart]

i dunno if you're using european or american dates, but yea that was either 2 or 5 months ago. i don't think it's about it being implemented but just understood, the NFS stuff is unrelated to smods entirely

[quick scarab]

Really?

[pale rampart]

help me with this please (idk if you guys need more information to help me)

[quick scarab]

Also 2 months

[daring fern]

Why do you have a function to check if a joker exists?

[pale rampart]

specific joker that plays music

[daring fern]

Yes, but next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) should do the same thing.

[pale rampart]

oke, ill change every single jokerExists instance in my mod for that then

[quick scarab]

Checking this right know, it doesn't seems to be document anywhere

On the wiki

[daring fern]

Yes, it's not a function that is related to Balatro at all.

[quick scarab]

And also in the internet

[pale rampart]

ok, i changed it

[quick scarab]

The first result is Google AI not providing any source

[daring fern]

Search nativefs.read

[fluid nebula]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[cursive gazelle]

Check for nil

[quick scarab]

https://github.com/EngineerSmith/nativefs

[quick scarab]

This?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[stiff locust]

what would be the easiest way to split a string after a specific symbol shows up

like if i wanted it to split on the first _

into two strings

[frosty rampart]

string.find([string here], "_") will return the position of the first _ in [string here] (1-indexed)
then string.sub([string here], 1, index) gets the substring from character 1 to character #index (inclusive) and string.sub([string here], index, -1) gets the substring from character #index to the end (inclusive)

so putting it all together:

local index = string.find("example_string", "_")
local string1 = string.sub("example_string", 1, index - 1)
local string2 = string.sub("example_string", index + 1, -1)

[pale rampart]

i changed the joker check thing for that but it crashes the game now

[frosty rampart]

that gets string1 = "example" and string2 = "string"

[stiff locust]

the gifs are STILL BLOCKED

[daring fern]

Code?

[pale rampart]

wdym

[daring fern]

What does your code look like?

[pale rampart]

which one

[fluid nebula]

i'll try and implement that tomorrow. goodnight and thanks for your help

[daring fern]

Log?

[daring fern]

Is the file at assets/sounds/music_tvtime.ogg?

[pale rampart]

yuh

[fallow urchin]

random but isn't there a shortcut other than holding 'm' which restarts the game?

[frosty rampart]

[quick scarab]

local data = {}

                mult = score
            }
        end
    end

}

Like this them

I swear if this doesn't work I might get crazy

But I can't check right now

[daring fern]

No, it would be for line in NFS.lines(SMODS.current_mod.path.."imported/game_data.txt")

[stiff locust]

is there a way to get backslashes in a string without lua complaining about invalid escape sequences

[daring fern]

Have you tried putting 2?

[stiff locust]

2 what

[daring fern]

2 \s.

[stiff locust]

not next to each other no (i need there to be only 1)

well actually hold on

[frosty rampart]

\\ is an escape sequence that sends a single \ through to the actual string

[stiff locust]

when I used SMODS.current_mod_path to get the file path to my mod it used backslashes
but NFS.GetDirectoryItems accepts forward slashes

[frosty rampart]

but yes forward slashes are easier

[stiff locust]

if I use both will it understand to do that

[quick scarab]

Ok thank God that this was just this error and the code is fine

[stiff locust]

I should probably just use the escape sequence so they're all the same type

[pale rampart]

ok, the error was goddamn stupid, it seems i accidentally deleted a music file that the mod was using because i thought it was unused, sorry for wasting your time

[vast bough]

how do i check the specific boss blind the player is up against

[stiff locust]

G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key

[pale rampart]

i needed this too, thanks dud

[stiff locust]

blinds use bl as their object type prefix thingy so it'll be like "bl_manacle" for vanillas

[vast bough]

goat behaviour

[pale rampart]

truely

[stiff locust]

final blinds also add final_ after the starting part and don't include the adjective (vedant leaf = bl_final_leaf)

mods may or may not respect this

at their discretion

[vast bough]

so amber acorn would be final_acorn?

[stiff locust]

bl_final_acorn

[vast bough]

perfect

[quick scarab]

local data = {}
    for line in NFS.lines(SMODS.current_mod.path.."imported/game_data.txt") do
        local key, value = string.match(line, "(.*)=(.*)")
        if key and value then
            data[key] = value
        end
    end
   

I assume that .path.. is the actual path

I just left there because I need to get the file path properly

Since I still need to rename the folder

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.current_mod.path is the path to the folder that contains the current mod
.. is the concatenation function, it attaches the second string onto the end of the first
so it expects there to be a file at [mod folder]/imported/game_data.txt

[subtle merlin]

I thought I'd ask here again: how would I forcefully add a card to the scoring hand (no matter the hand's current size) without changing the type of the scoring hand? (in context.before, preferably)

[unkempt rover]

Can someone help me, please?
I want to create a mod that removes the vanilla jokers so that only the jokers from my mod appear.

[stiff locust]

go check SDM_0's modders' deck or pokermon

they do that

[unkempt rover]

I don't know where in pokermon this is

[frosty rampart]

it's a config option

[stiff locust]

well figure it out

[vast bough]

is the orders key j_the_order or j_order

(and other joker keys with the)

[unkempt rover]

Vanilla remade

[jolly shadow]

does vanilla remade give the original keys? lol

huh i guess it does

[red flower]

i can literally give you the code if you wait until the weekend lol

[subtle merlin]

-# it hasn't even been 30 minutes...

[manic rune]

how do i recreate umamusume on balatro

[frosty rampart]

make the horse girls into jokers that randomly pin and unpin themselves and they can only give you their regular joker effects if they're in the leftmost joker slot at the time of calculation

[subtle merlin]

What Meta said, mainly. You could also use the gacha system you made earlier for it :3

[manic rune]

idea rn idk

the shuffling would kinda represent them racing a bit

[manic rune]

true

[subtle merlin]

Love those ideas, will there be anything like the legacies?

[manic rune]

what if theres a menu for legacies on the new run screen

🤔

at the end of run maybe you can choose one joker to be taken as a legacy, then its sparks will be randomized and added to a permanent storage

on entering a run you can choose 2 legacies which can affect your uma jokers

maybe inspiration can happen like, every 4 ante or so idk

[subtle merlin]

Is inspiration randomized in game or is it a set thing? (I couldn't figure it out)

[manic rune]

i think its set

so i think every 4 antes is actually a very nice timing

enough for 2 inspirations like in game, and just so happen to be when you are going to fight the showdown blind too

also i should probably code the jokers' effects in such a way that they can be given to other jokers too, actually

[subtle merlin]

I'd love to see how this mod turns out, your previous works have all been amazing :3

[manic rune]

aw thanks :3

[subtle merlin]

Bump

[manic rune]

hmm this changes the poker hand?

[subtle merlin]

...

I didn't know that existed...

[manic rune]

oof

oh wait, thats for splash effect, hm

idk where ive seen it but ive seen people adding card to G.play with :emplace in context.before before

have u tried that 🤔

[subtle merlin]

I will rn

[snow breach]

I'm trying to get localization for custom booster packs to work and it just won't, no matter what I do.

[manic rune]

is that actually where you put booster localization

[snow breach]

In Other? I'm 99% sure

[manic rune]

mm one sec

[wild escarp]

Where are all cards in the deck stored?

[manic rune]

mm looks correct if your mod prefix is mot, whats wrong?

should be correct if the Other is inside descriptions table

[snow breach]

Sure is :\

[manic rune]

G.playing_cards?

is it showing ERROR when you are in a pack

[snow breach]

The packs have no name, description and yes it says ERROR

0 localization is loading

[manic rune]

oh yeah @subtle merlin my idea was close, but the context is too late

you ideally want to add the card before this runs

[subtle merlin]

-# *Addendum: G.deck for all cards currently in deck

[manic rune]

mm

can i see your localization file

[snow breach]

I fixed it

[manic rune]

o

[subtle merlin]

Noted, when is that function called?

[daring fern]

How would one have multiple music play at the same time?

[manic rune]

hi mini

[solid mesa]

hi i have a question

exponentiation its exclusive of talisman?

or like i can make my own?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[snow breach]

You could. Or you could just become Talisman dependent

[solid mesa]

im doing a pretty unbalanced mod without logic behind

[manic rune]

you can add exponential yourself, but its honestly preferred that you use talisman instead because ^ is very likely to get you above naneinf

[manic rune]

somewhere here

[solid mesa]

makes sense

ty

[daring fern]

‎

[solid mesa]

penumbra?

[subtle merlin]

alr, i'll try calling it in context.press_play

[manic rune]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no clue, maybe something related to modulate_sound(dt)?

[daring fern]

No, I mean for example the boss blind theme and the main theme at the same time.

[manic rune]

i thought about just using play_sound but that wont loop

[solid mesa]

mm im out

[wild escarp]

I'd like to debuff all spade cards if they have the given enhancement for this joker, but it crashes without an error, can anyone help?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if G.playing_cards then
        for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_willatro_overgrown") and v:is_suit("Spades") then
                SMODS.debuff_card(v, true, card)
            else
                SMODS.debuff_card(v, false, card)
            end
        end
    end
end

[manic rune]

source argument in SMODS.debuff_card should be a string, you are using card which is a table

[wild escarp]

Same thing

[manic rune]

whats the code now

[daring fern]

I tried that, but it sounded weird.

[manic rune]

gulp

no clue, that seems to be how balatro is running music in the background, i kinda assumed you can make two run at the same time somehow with a function semi-identical to that

[wild escarp]

just replaced card in SMODS.debuff_card() with the string of the joker.

[manic rune]

so it looks something like SMODS.debuff_card(v, true, "idfk")?

[wild escarp]

Yes

[manic rune]

mm

are you absolutely certain thats the cause of the crash

[frosty rampart]

and is it actually the same crash as before

[daring fern]

Never mind, it seems to only be strange when the pitch_mod is not 1

[wild escarp]

Yes, no crash without that code.

[wild escarp]

Yeah, no crash message.

[manic rune]

huh

somehow theres recursive stuff going on here

oh wait

[daring fern]

You need a context check.

[manic rune]

is it because cards that r getting debuffed run acontext

YEAH

[subtle merlin]

there seems to be an issue (well, two, but i want to fix this one first)

[wild escarp]

What context should I check? I'd like it to apply at all times.

[frosty rampart]

maybe you shouldn't have it in calculate at all. put it in add_to_deck instead?

[manic rune]

that wouldnt account for new cards, though

[daring fern]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.debuff_card and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.debuff_card, "m_willatro_overgrown") and context.debuff_card:is_suit("Spades") then
        return {debuff = true}
    end
end

[subtle merlin]

(i should have mentioned this is a deck im adding this effect to)

[frosty rampart]

(talking to bill cipher)

[subtle merlin]

(oh)

[manic rune]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if G.playing_cards then
        for k, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
            v.ability.debuff_sources = v.ability.debuff_sources or {}
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(v, "m_willatro_overgrown") and v:is_suit("Spades") and not v.ability.debuff_sources[debuff_key] then
                SMODS.debuff_card(v, true, debuff_key)
            elseif v.ability.debuff_sources[debuff_key] then
                SMODS.debuff_card(v, false, debuff_key)
            end
        end
    end
end

oh nvm

didnt know you can use context.debuff_card for that too

[wild escarp]

My one downfall in balatro modding is not understanding all the contexts.

[manic rune]

have u tried REMOVING the card from G.hand first

like,

local add_card = G.hand.cards[1]
G.hand:remove_card(add_card)
G.play:emplace(add_card)

[subtle merlin]

sigh that was it, yep

[subtle merlin]

Last question: how can I make the card added to hand score?

[manic rune]

it doesnt score?

[frosty rampart]

it seemed to be scoring just fine in the video with the flipping bug 🤔

[manic rune]

yeah thats what im thinking too

[hybrid shadow]

nvm i prob could word that much better with a bit of help

[delicate spear]

quick question, how does one make a deck with a starting joker?

[ornate elbow]

uuughh.. face in hands, I know this is probably a dumb question. but I am not a smart man and my attempts are getting me nowhere, whats the best way to have a joker add xmult for every queen currently in deck? sort of like steel joker maybe but yk. checking for rank instead of enhancement

[daring fern]

jokers = {"j_modprefix_key"} in the config.

[mystic river]

I'm on my phone so i don't have access to ide stuff or the names of locations but the basic idea is

update = function(self, card, other parameters idk)
local count = 0
 for i,v in --[[the deck, i think it's G.playing_cards or something]] do
  if v:get_id() == --[[ queen id number, 12 right?]] then
  count = count + 1
 end
end
card.ability.extra.xmult = count * card.ability.extra.xmultpercard
end

and then during the relevant joker calculation step return {xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult}

idk if it's the best way, but that's how I'd do it

[manic rune]

i dont think you should use update here

use loc_vars for the description, and check how many queens you have in calculate when needed

-# and yeah, queen's id is 12

[mystic river]

that sounds better yeah

[ornate elbow]

thanku, ill try it in the morning

hushhhg.. I like. vaguely get how to get static normal effects down but anything that has a changeable variable gives me a headache

[mystic river]

oh, also you'd be doing for i, v in ipairs(whatever table is the deck)
i still don't really get why for loops in lua need pairs or ipairs to iterate through tables but there you go

[wild berry]

??

is this something wrong with the game or just a mod

i tried revalidating files but same issue

[sand sandal]

pls use _, v instead
that way gc can clean up memory

[manic rune]

tbf i was copying bill's code

[sand sandal]

whatever you dont use, throw it away

[manic rune]

thanks, im already doing that lol

[sand sandal]

i get the linter yelling at me all the time

[sand sandal]

selene is a godsend

[manic rune]

??

[sand sandal]

the lua linter?

[manic rune]

oh, this?

[sand sandal]

yeah but i dont use vscode tho

[manic rune]

ic

[sand sandal]

idrk

[distant junco]

yo! im trying to debuff tarot cards, and so far this is working. but its only debuffing cards that are held in the consumeable slot, tho thats completely understandable since thats what the code is doing. i was just wondering how i would get tarots to be debuffed in the shop and in packs

[sand sandal]

light mode is the bane of my existence

[distant junco]

literally everyone says this every time leave me alone

i like light mode and i dont like dark mode

[sand sandal]

ok then why is your SMODS has yellow squiggly line

no SMODS lsp_def?

[distant junco]

idk it alwats does that

[sand sandal]

ofc it does, the lsp has no idea what smods is

unfortunate

[sand sandal]

anyway is it a voucher or a joker or something you made?

[distant junco]

joker

[distant junco]

well i did the thing im supposed to like pointing it to the lovely dump and stuff and everything else works but it just squigglys smods for whatever reason

[daring fern]

Use G.I.CARD instead of G.consumeables.cards

[distant junco]

whats G.I.CARD?

is that just like all cards

[sand sandal]

oh

[sand sandal]

actually why not just debuff tarot on use

functionally the same i think?

[distant junco]

wel ill try G.I.CARD and see what happens

g.i.card causes what i like to call a crash

[sand sandal]

ok can we see the log

[distant junco]

you LIAR!

[daring fern]

Yes.

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

No.

[sand sandal]

what is the crash log

[sand sandal]

yeah dud

its indexing a nil field

use

if v.ability and v.ability.set and v.ability.set == "Tarot" then
  invoke_skibidi_toilet()
end

replace invoke skibidi toilet with whatever you like

[distant junco]

ah ok

[sand sandal]

like this

[distant junco]

i will be devoking skibidi toilet

[sand sandal]

smods supposed to have autocomplete like that

[distant junco]

oh wow ok no that does not happen, i get some stuff tho

weird

[sand sandal]

i mean i use neovim which lets me use a locally installed lsp

so i can configure it but you can declare a .luarc.json

that has path to your lua library definitions

[distant junco]

yeah i did that

[sand sandal]

but thats beside the point

[distant junco]

hey it works!! thank you both

[sand sandal]

np, remember that everything is a table and field access is actually just a hashmap index

[distant junco]

those are just words but i think i understand.

[sand sandal]

ok let me explain

[distant junco]

no let me try first

[sand sandal]

so in lua there are only numbers, strings, function, and table (and pointers for ffi)

[distant junco]

ok nevermind i was gonna be way off

[sand sandal]

table can be a function if its metatable has a __call function

so when you call a table its actually invoking the __call method

[distant junco]

ok

got it

[sand sandal]

ok now you can study object oriented programming in lua or something

is this jerker balanced

[royal badger]

Im new to Modding, why does this appear?

[sand sandal]

ok the mod 5 nights at balala is screwed

it's attempting to index a field of a nil value

[distant junco]

depends what balance you're going for

[sand sandal]

cryptid

[distant junco]

probably

[royal badger]

that means?

[sand sandal]

uh, you have to create a table first

so

Five_Nights_at_Balatro = { ju_fuju = false }

insert that at the first of your mod files and ur good

[royal badger]

thanks :D

[sand sandal]

np, good luck adding zzz to balatro later down the line

[royal badger]

why does this error happen now? local joker_src = NFS.getDirectoryItems(SMODS.currentmod.path .. "jokers" )

[faint yacht]

SMODS.current_mod

[royal badger]

thanks but saw it myself rn xd

[delicate spear]

Thank you

[sand sandal]

pro tips:
smods has a wiki page in their github repo

localthunk is online! hello thunk

[spare atlas]

It's trying to index the number of blinds defeated

[red cradle]

How to count the number of a certain joker among jokers in slots?

[faint yacht]

-# Ortalab's function may not be passing arguments?

[faint yacht]

#SMODS.find_card('j_joker') to count all Jimbos held.

-# My "Tom Scott" Joker uses that.

[red cradle]

thanks

[spare atlas]

I like to put my mods in a folder i call Mr Bones when they're unstable and buggy

[subtle merlin]

I meant the card that gets added to hand

[thorn basin]

in which vanilla file I can find the "balance" function from the plasma deck?
I need to see it to see how it works and implement something similar for a joker

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/48a34015d4c2aa1d342e65a087756ff904386be1/src/utils.lua#L1277

[spare atlas]

yes i know i already sent this but it's trying to index the number of blinds defeated

[stiff locust]

if i were to do card.ability["extra"] it would go to card.ability.extra right

[red flower]

yes

[stiff locust]

great

[rotund sable]

Did you override that value?

[spare atlas]

im not making any mods

[thorn basin]

what is the exact name of the function?
i tried with balance or plasma but it doesn't find it

[red flower]

i linked to the exact line

[thorn basin]

ah, now i see it, thx

[wintry solar]

you can just return balance = true from a joker to achieve the same effect

[wispy falcon]

How do I check if a specific hand is played? Like a Full House

[wintry solar]

you have a mod that is broken and being silly

[red flower]

context.scoring_name == "Full House"

[wispy falcon]

Thank you :3

[thorn basin]

oh, alright
except this joker I'm making doesn't do the "exact" balance calculation

[thorn basin]

basically this:
Removes 10% of total Chips,
the 10% is added to total Mult
raise it to ^2

[red cradle]

What is an JimboQuip?

[wintry solar]

download the cardsauce release

[faint yacht]

-# Oh dear-

[stiff locust]

what happens if I do card.ability["extra value"]

does it become card.ability.extra_value?

[wintry solar]

yup

[stiff locust]

convenient

[wintry solar]

wait

no

it wouldn't have the _

[thorn basin]

I wanted to give a different message text that the balance function does with plasma deck.
But for some reason it crashes the game, how can I fix this?

[stiff locust]

wait so it would be

card.ability.extravalue?

[wintry solar]

no, it'd be card.ability.extra value but you can't reference that so you need to use card.ability['extra value'] afaik

[stiff locust]

oh

[wintry solar]

thats why we dont tend ot use spaces

[thorn basin]

bump

[royal badger]

how do i get the rounds to make a Joker cooldown?

[chrome token]

is there any way to prevent repetition from happening on a joker at the end of a round? i'm kinda stuck. i'm trying to make one that repeats itself adding +1 mult to the counter "card.ability.extra.rep" times (fyi this is done for comedic purposes, not for anything useful lol) and is supposed to add 1 to card.ability.extra.rep when a round is over... 🥲

[red flower]

add and context.main_eval to the last if condition

[chrome token]

ah, so like this? if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.main_eval then

will try that out

hrmm didn't seem to work 🤔

[ripe jacinth]

how do i fuckin fix this

[royal badger]

bump

[spice wadi]

code please

[thorn basin]

anyone??

[spice wadi]

include the crash

you cant get impatient when youre missing key info 😭

[chrome token]

is "fmod" referring to the function in math?

[red flower]

what if you also add not context.retrigger_joker?

[crisp coral]

yeah it should be modulo

in which, Talisman Moment

[thorn basin]

alright so instead of doing the message like plasma deck does with its balance function instead it gives me this error:

[chrome token]

can try

this is gonna become one hell of an if statement lol

[red flower]

what's your code

hi dilly

[modern kindle]

Hi n

[chrome token]

that worked! tysm :D

[red flower]

oh ok i see, if the first screenshot is in your code that's wrong

[manic rune]

doesnt plasma deck use attention_text?

[red flower]

that's an smods thing

[manic rune]

🤔

[royal badger]

bump 2

[modern kindle]

Hi bepis

[manic rune]

hi dil

[manic rune]

what do u mean by this

like, having the cooldown tick per round?

if so then if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval (i dont remember if this is necessary or not) then in calculate

[royal badger]

so like, If the Joker gets activated, It cant be activated for 3 rounds as an example

[thorn basin]

so basically I copied the same functions of the balance effect and changed them to give a different effect, then in the 2nd screenshot there's the text part which... I don't know what's the problem:

[spice wadi]

Create a counter stored in the card that's decreased at the end of the round
And only let it trigger when it's at 0 for example, and reset the counter

[red flower]

instead of that second screenshot just return { message = "Relativity!" }

also i think you want mod_mult and mod_chips or it's not going to work properly in the next smods update

[thorn basin]

so I gotta substitute hand_chips and mult with mod_mult and mod_chips?

[red flower]

no

look at the original code i sent

[thorn basin]

oooh I see

[thorn basin]

Small question: is there a way to make the message effect similar to the plasma deck?
Like it does with the big word "Balanced"?

cuz rn it gives the message like a normal joker does

[manic rune]

thats why i said you gotta use attention_text..............

[thorn basin]

oh, right

my bad

[red flower]

replace the return for card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, percent, nil, {message = "Relativity!", colour = {0.8, 0.45, 0.85, 1}})

i think

nope

i was looking at the wrong code lol

it's what bepis said

attention_text({scale = 1.4, text = "Relativity!", hold = 2, align = 'cm', offset = {x = 0,y = -2.7},major = G.play})

[knotty orchid]

Is Xchips implemented in the new smods version? Or should I implement it myself? I'm tired of talisman so I'm not using it

[red flower]

it is

[knotty orchid]

and emult?

[red flower]

no

[knotty orchid]

Sad

Anyways It's still not a release right?

[red flower]

emult doesnt make much sense without bignum tbh

[red flower]

xchips has been around for a while

[knotty orchid]

Is for just one special card

[knotty orchid]

Oh so in 711a is enabled?

[manic rune]

you can implement your own emult if you really want to use it without talisman

[red flower]

yes

[knotty orchid]

Nice

[knotty orchid]

Yeah I'm wondering If I want to spend my time on that

for just one card

[manic rune]

shouldnt be too hard, since its just one patch/hook to SMODS.calculate_individual_effect

[red flower]

just so you dont run into this: "Xchips" doesnt work as a key

[knotty orchid]

so how do I use it?

[red flower]

xchips

[manic rune]

xchips

x_chips

[faint yacht]

key == 'x_chips' or key == 'xchips' or key == 'Xchip_mod' are checked for.

[manic rune]

why is it Xchip_mod actually

[knotty orchid]

Ill try it then

[manic rune]

why isnt it xchips_mod....

[knotty orchid]

hahahaa

[manic rune]

and like, Xchip doesnt even exist, so??

[red flower]

half the keys on my kyboard re not working i hate this..

[manic rune]

😭

rip

[faint yacht]

Probably just like Xmult_mod.

[knotty orchid]

Same for me

they trigger more than one time sometimes

[manic rune]

yeah true, but im p sure Xmult is actually a thing

[knotty orchid]

is so annoying

[red flower]

its chip_mod

[manic rune]

and singular chips is also, weird

[thorn basin]

I tried like this but it gives me this error:

[faint yacht]

I did have to grab all of such chip/mult keys a while ago for ActiveSync.

togabalatro.chipmultopswap = {
    ['chips'] = 'mult',
    ['h_chips'] = 'h_mult',
    ['chip_mod'] = 'mult_mod',
    ['mult'] = 'chips',
    ['h_mult'] = 'h_chips',
    ['mult_mod'] = 'chip_mod',
    ['x_chips'] = 'x_mult',
    ['xchips'] = 'xmult',
    ['Xchip_mod'] = 'Xmult_mod',
    ['x_mult'] = 'x_chips',
    ['xmult'] = 'xchips',
    ['Xmult'] = 'xchips',
    ['x_mult_mod'] = 'Xchip_mod',
    ['Xmult_mod'] = 'Xchip_mod',
...

[red flower]

can you screenshot the code i sent you

[knotty orchid]

@red flower My memory leak problem was related to talisman. That's the reason I'm uninstalling it ahhahaha

Just in case anyone run in to this

Uninstalled talisman and had stable fps

[red flower]

do you see that mod_mult is a function

[ripe jacinth]

i fixed it...

well, someone else did

thank you @rocky plaza

[thorn basin]

oh... so how can I call that function?

[red flower]

mult = mod_mult([your valu here])

value

[thorn basin]

alright

now it works!
thank you!
small another question: is there a context that makes the scripts of a joker trigger right after all the jokers give mult, chips or Xmult?
like after context.joker_main but not after the game does the Chips x Mult calculation

[manic rune]

context.final_scoring_step?

[hushed field]

oh hey, I think the counter UI also gets drawn on the back of cards, that ain't great

[thorn basin]

alright, I'll try this and see what happens

[knotty orchid]

local old_calculate_individual_effect = SMODS.calculate_individual_effect
SMODS.calculate_individual_effect = function(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
    local res = old_calculate_individual_effect(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)

    if key == "Emult" and amount then
        if effect.card and effect.card ~= scored_card then juice_card(effect.card) end
        mult = mod_mult(mult ^ amount)

        update_hand_text({ delay = 0 }, { chips = hand_chips, mult = mult })

        if not effect.remove_default_message then
            if key ~= 'Emult_mod' then
                if effect.emult_message then
                    card_eval_status_text(
                        effect.message_card or effect.juice_card or scored_card or effect.card or effect.focus,
                        'extra',
                        nil, percent, nil, effect.emult_message)
                else
                    card_eval_status_text(
                        effect.message_card or effect.juice_card or scored_card or effect.card or effect.focus,
                        'emult',
                        amount, percent)
                end
            end
        end
        return true
    end

    return res
end

I think I'm missing something. I'm trying to implement my own Emult

Doesn't really work right now

[royal badger]

why does this not show the description and name In game?

    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            j_fnab_NightDelight = {
                name = "Nightmares Delight",
                text = {
                    {
                        "test"
                    }
                },
            },
        },
    },
    misc = {
        dictionary = {
            
        }
    }
}```

[rugged void]

return{    
    descriptions = {
        Joker = {
            j_fnab_NightDelight = {
                name = "Nightmares Delight",
                text = {

    },
    misc = {
        dictionary = {
            
        }
    }
}

like this, maybe?

should work

[royal badger]

sadly it still doesnt work

[rugged void]

but the name is being displayed?

how do I access the score the current hand will give before its added to the total chips and which context would be used? using context.final_scoring_step and context.cardarea = G.jokers is too early

[daring fern]

Have you tried copying from Talisman?

[daring fern]

hand_chips*mult

[knotty orchid]

I'm trying

no success tbh

[thorn basin]

it works pretty well, thanks!

[rugged void]

where would these be saved? couldn't find them in G.GAME.current_round atleast

[daring fern]

They are global.

[rugged void]

oh

of course

thank you ^^

[royal badger]

nope, both arent there

[rugged void]

is the file called default.lua?

[royal badger]

its called en-us.lua

[rugged void]

this didn't work for me aswell and I couldn't be asked to find the problem, so I just named it default.lua

[frosty rampart]

if you're not using english in-game the en-us localization won't show up

thank you reporters :3

[wispy falcon]

Thank you mods :D

[royal badger]

I just fixed mine, It was shown as a .lua file on Visual Studio but in the mod folder it was a text file

[daring fern]

Did you add "Emult" to SMODS.calculation_keys?

[knotty orchid]

right now

Works

hahaha

[wintry solar]

These are just the keys talisman used

[manic rune]

3: i see

[knotty orchid]

Good bye talisman

never meeting you again

[crystal perch]

anybody know why my joker is hard crashing my game?
this is meant to copy the ability of the rightmst Joker if you have a spade held in hand, this used to work but i believe it broke after i updated SMODS

I don't even get a crash log or anything it just closes the game

[red flower]

idk if its the problem but the rightmost joker is G.jokers.cards[#G.jokers.cards]

[crystal perch]

still crashes

maybe it's a mod conflict i'll try disabling some

[wintry solar]

calling :is_suit outside of a context check I think

it'll crash with quantum enhancements

[crystal perch]

is that because of calling it outside of a context check?

not really familar with how quantum enhancements work

[wintry solar]

yes, card:is_suit does a quantum enhancement calculation check, so you just infinitely loop and stack overflow

[stiff locust]

is there a documentation on the NFS.getdirectoryitems type stuff

[wintry solar]

I believe you can wrap the entire thing in

if not context.check_enhancement then
  -- code here
end```

[crystal perch]

i'll try that thank you eremel

[red flower]

google love2d filesystem

[stiff locust]

oh is it just the love.filesystem stuff

[red flower]

yes

i think

[stiff locust]

awesome

i'm going on a filesystem arc right now

this will be very useful

[crystal perch]

this worked thank you

[random sleet]

chat

jokers

philosophical decksleeve with stacked is a totally different game

[crystal perch]

how come this code doesnt work:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  local other_joker = nil
  for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
      other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i - 1]
    end
  end
  return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
end

yet this code does:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  local other_joker = nil
  for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if G.jokers.cards[i] == card then
      other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i + 1]
    end
  end
  return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
end

the difference is just G.jokers.cards[i - 1] or G.jokers.cards[i + 1]

[random sleet]

neither of them should work because G.jokers.card doesn't exist

[crystal perch]

i misspelled

meant G.jokers.cards, which is what i have

[frosty rampart]

elaborate on "doesn't work"
also make sure you didn't also make the typo in your actual code

[crystal perch]

there's no typo in my actual code

what i mean by "doesn't work" is that it simply just doesn't copy the left joker

i'm basically just making blueprint to the left

blueprint uses G.jokers.cards[i + 1], this uses G.jokers.cards[i - 1], and changing the code to be G.jokers.cards[i + 1] makes it copy the joker to the right, but G.jokers.cards[i - 1] makes it copy nothing rather than the joker to the left

okay now i look insane because i'm going back and testing it again and it works

[hushed field]

@frosty rampart Yeah, seeing this, I'm wondering if a lot of the stuff isn't hardcoded to the Sprite object in a way that would potentially need some refactoring for our hopeful implementation, haha

[frosty rampart]

i've gotta dig into how shaders work some more, but my hope is that "texture_details" and "image_details" can handle a love2D "Quad", which is a surface you can draw a canvas to. i know how to get the UI to draw to the canvas and the canvas onto the quad, the missing piece is just getting the quad into the shader

or that the shader can take some alternate way to pass an image into it

[hushed field]

I'm consistently surprised to learn that Love2D as an engine is a lot more barebones than I assumed, haha

[frosty rampart]

here's the documentation if you're interested btw https://love2d.org/wiki/Main_Page

[hushed field]

I think I'm just gonna crash the game on purpose a few times and see if I can trace down what things would be missing, and find a new place to dig from there

[unkempt thicket]

Oh like using another texture in a shader?, i've done that.

[frosty rampart]

we're trying to shove UI into a shader

[hushed field]

@frosty rampart I'm wondering if it's not possible to just port the draw_shader function to UIBox with only minimal changes, honestly

[unkempt thicket]

For what purpose? Could you not just make the UI on the cards with said shader?

[hushed field]

I'm trying to see if they have any very relevant ways in which they differ but I think most of the stuff should work out

[frosty rampart]

for ice's Counters, we're drawing text on top of a card

[frosty rampart]

probably yea. on my end i feel like i keep digging through more layers and i can't find the bottom, i need to look at the dissolve shader code itself now lmao

[hushed field]

drawing text atop a card would be a really handy tool in the design arsenal, and Meta and me both have objects that would really benefit from it, so we're trying to see how difficult it'd be to set up

[unkempt thicket]

What about layering?

[hushed field]

But the manipulation and movement of cards is largely done by the dissolve shader, so the actual number on the counter is totally immune to those changes, which looks less than ideal

[hushed field]

I'm not sure what you mean, so there's a chance that solves it and I'll sing some praise 😛

[random sleet]

chat i might have just cooked a devious plan to print infinite content

[unkempt thicket]

I haven't messed around much with UI text specifically, i'll try messing with it a bit and see what you can do for it.

[random sleet]

i cant wait for trance to absolutely destroy the counter ui btw

[hybrid shadow]

if i do if context.pseudorandom_result then without checking for either result type will that if statement run any time a probability gets rolled

[frosty rampart]

the dissolve shader lets the cards skew as if they're rotating in the third dimension, this is pretty much the only/easiest way to do such a thing because balatro is in a 2D engine. all UI objects, including text, are drawn directly to the screen. it doesn't pass through a shader at all

[hushed field]

I'm just gonna try and port the function to UIBox and see what crashes that will create, haha. I don't think the shader needs anything to inherently be a sprite

[frosty rampart]

it should, yes

[random sleet]

eureka

build your own jokers

[hushed field]

or UIElement, I guess, not UIBox

[random sleet]

goddammit why did it scale itself

It's a card that gets created from a joker and after the blind destroys

[hushed field]

What did you base this code on? I don't know why you'd wanna override of a card

[knotty orchid]

Because if I don't do this the card doesn't destroy on a blind if it is debuffed

[hushed field]

What object is this calcualte for?

[knotty orchid]

when I say card I mean joker

sorry

it's a joker that creates 2 basic negative copies of himself

[hushed field]

yes but you're overwriting a fundamental function that you shouldn't be overwriting

[knotty orchid]

I mean this works pretty well, I've used it other times with no problem

this is the only joker that seems to have some kind of problem

[random sleet]

um

[frosty rampart]

not encountering a problem doesn't mean it's not problematic design

[random sleet]

so like why don't you just set those things in the joker that you're making tho

like in the Hattori joker

[hushed field]

You also shouldn't be overwriting can_calculate, as that will definitely cause fundamental issues with other jokers, like dagger

[knotty orchid]

This is the hattori joker

[hushed field]

The simplest thing would be to hook can_calculate, not overwrite it, and just set a parameter that allows a card to still trigger if it's debuffed

Alternatively, you can patch in an additional context after setting_blind that includes ignore_debuff as parameter, and check for that

[random sleet]

i think i dont have the mental capacity to explain everything wrong with this approach

or even actually understand it myself

pog

i got the scaling effect fixed

[hushed field]

But I really recommend not usign this approach because it will create a very large number of edge cases that will create strange behaviour, and you'll not really be able to get coding help with such an unconventional approach, because it does take a while longer to parse and understand what's happening and what could be going wrong

[hybrid shadow]

i forgot lucky cards roll twice lmfao

[knotty orchid]

I guess so, I just didn't know how to do this. Asked N before and told me that it wasn't that bad doing this

I'll try to reestructurate everything with hooks

[random sleet]

boy i wonder if keywordifying scaling effects in this manner might have a payoff

[hushed field]

I'd definitely trust N over me, that's for sure, haha

[knotty orchid]

I mean this copies just have one purpose

to be destroyed

[hushed field]

But it does make assessing what's happening a bit more difficult. In this case, I think you're overcomplicating it by overwriting functions, at least

[knotty orchid]

yeah yeah I totally agree

[hushed field]

I'd just create ajoker object for these objects, still, just so you can have more control over it. The way I'd do it is a can_calculate hook from there and just check if the joker has a 'always_ignore_debuff' quality that you set on it, or something like that

[random sleet]

oh shit this is dev chat sorry for being spammy

[wintry solar]

I don’t think overwriting those functions for what is effectively a temporary joker is that bad, though it depends on when they’re created

[hushed field]

In checking calculate_joker I did realize that I was confused for a moment over where things like calculate_seal are called from, haha

[knotty orchid]

That's what I thought

They get created when setting blind

and destroyed at the end of the round

I really don't get why the -27 jokers size

[wintry solar]

Can you screenshot the full code for the joker it’s creating?

[knotty orchid]

You mean this?

[hushed field]

But can_calculate is used in enough timing frames that I think it can definitely create very odd behaviour, no? Though maybe I'm still in the old mindset of Victim's can_calculate which also checked for destruction target effects and such

[wintry solar]

I don’t think it needs the can calculate override, you’re right there

[knotty orchid]

I'm really sorry for this mess lol

[hushed field]

Oh, I think it'd be because end of round triggers for each card, and the event queue probably causes timing issues that makes the remove from deck effect remove a slot for every triggered instance

[wintry solar]

Oh it’s -

Yeah just add and context.main_eval to your calculate override

[knotty orchid]

I'll try

give me a sec

IT WORKS

man I was going mad

[hushed field]

Oh btw, Eremel, just because I came across it today, but is the ignore_debuff context parameter just there in case people want to use it for a custom context, or is it used in any of the standard smods contexts?

[knotty orchid]

no more -27 jokers limit yep

[hushed field]

I do still advise you to just add a flag to the joker and hook can_calculate to check that flag, just because that means you can use it for other things as well, haha.

[knotty orchid]

I know, I'll try to do that

But this quick patch is enough for people not to spam me about the bug anymore

xddd

[hushed field]

I think in this case, your joker being Debuffed but gaining an edition would still make the edition triggered? Though my pitch doesn't resolve that either, I guess, hahaha

Can you link the mod btw? I'm interested now but I don't think I've seen you around talking about it before, haha

why this happen with my function?

[ocean sinew]

Credidt to cryptid btw

[cursive gazelle]

what's the nex mult mod thing then

[hushed field]

@frosty rampart porting the draw shader functionality is definitely possible but I doubt it's the most efficient way, because it cascades down to other functions you'd need to port, haha. There's probably another way that would be less janky

[wintry solar]

oh you mean the dev build

[cursive gazelle]

yeah

[wintry solar]

wait for the release to be told what's changed or read the code/commits yourself

or be in my super secret modding chat

[knotty orchid]

Is there any seed analyzer for modded balatro?

[frosty rampart]

good to know! i think my plan is gonna be to just override whatever draw function i need to when the text UIElements' are created, that seems like the least intrusive way to do it

on the shader side i am neck deep in GLSL haha

[cursive gazelle]

[hushed field]

I might use this issue to start reading up on it too, because shader knowledge is stuff I keep postponing, hahaha

[cursive gazelle]

will do

[frosty rampart]

it might take a while but i'm literally gonna be learning GLSL in a class i'm taking this semester on computer graphics, so i have high hopes that we'll figure this out Eventually™

[hushed field]

I think the problem and solution are probably entirely in the Balatro code, but GLSL is cool knowledge to have regardless. Be prepared for people begging you for info once you let on that you know how to make shaders, though, hahaha

[frosty rampart]

I'm rooting through the shader side because I'm trying to understand how sprites format their image data when it goes to the shader, and the UI canvas is gonna need to be in the same format
but yea, it's gonna be great to understand shader stuff. might put together some sort of tutorial/template/documentation depending on what's possible

[hushed field]

@spice wadi it was ambient noise of my switch controllers clacking about and a cat standing on my phone, hahaha

Nothing picked up I'm pretty sure

[red flower]

too late i pinpointed your location from the background noise

[hidden notch]

I would also love to know.... 5 months later :D

[red flower]

yes

just use G.deck as the object

or G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards]

[hidden notch]

Ah, well could've figured that out

Thank'cha ^^

[ocean sinew]

how to stop cards from colliding?

[knotty orchid]

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls = G.GAME.current_round.free_rerolls + 1
        calculate_reroll_cost(true)
    end,

Doesn't this give a free reroll?

each shop I mean

[wintry solar]

just do SMODS.change_free_rerolls(1)

and -1 in remove obv

[cursive gazelle]

define "colliding"

[knotty orchid]

You have a function for everything emerel

thanks

[ocean sinew]

the moveable object cant move using velocity If theres two at the same position or If theres one in the next position

[wintry solar]

yes

I do

[cursive gazelle]

yeah i have no idea

[ocean sinew]

I have this joker

I'm using the card object with the sprite for it to work and a custom update function

but If there's like 2 coins going to the same direction

they dont move at all

they just stay there

[cursive gazelle]

oh its like the yahimod joker

[ocean sinew]

wait theres a joker like this already?

[cursive gazelle]

yes

in yahimod

[modern kindle]

if theres a joker concept chances are it already was made

[cursive gazelle]

and is actually an ultrakill based aswell

[primal robin]

s

[short girder]

this cant be good

[chrome token]

is it possible at all to see what seal a card has when it's being played?? i'm trying to rack my head here by trying out all sorts of ways and i have no idea... i'm writing this for a seal in question where if it stays in hand it would copy whatever seals are available per card 🥲

[red flower]

that looks correct

[chrome token]

if it is, then that's super weird since i checked to see if it works via sendInfoMessage and i get nothing 🥲

[wintry solar]

this is on the seal?

[chrome token]

yeah it is

[red flower]

ah

[chrome token]

the intended behaviour is that, if it's not played, it should copy every seal by the cards played

at least that's what i'm trying to do 🤔

[wispy falcon]

How do i add a button to a joker? I know how to do it in the mod's config but it's different for jokers, right?

[ocean sinew]

local last_use_and_sell_buttons = G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons
G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons = function(card)
    local t = last_use_and_sell_buttons(card)
    local custom_buttons = card.config.center.config.custom_buttons or {}
    local function create_custom_button(b_t)
      local button_text = b_t.text
      local width = b_t.w or 0.05
      local h = b_t.h or 0.3
      if localize(button_text) ~= "ERROR" then button_text=localize(b_t.text) end
      local custom_button = {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cr"}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.C, config={ref_table = {this_card=card,id=b_t.id,}, align = "cr",maxw = 1.25, padding = 0.1, r=0.2, minw = 1.25, minh = (card.area and card.area.config.type == 'joker') and 0 or 1, hover = true, shadow = true, colour = b_t.colour or G.C.WHITE, one_press = false, button = 'custom_button'}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.B, config = {w=width,h=h}},
        {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = button_text,colour = b_t.text_colour or G.C.BLACK, scale = b_t.text_scale or 0.55, shadow = true}}
      }}
    }}
    return custom_button
    end
    if card.area ~= G.pack_cards then
    for i,v in ipairs(custom_buttons) do
        local active = v.active
        if type(active) == "function" then active = active(card, v) end
        if active == nil then active = true end
        if active then
        local this_button = create_custom_button(v)
        local spacing = {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = 'cl'},nodes={this_button},}
        table.insert(t.nodes[1].nodes, spacing)
        end
    end
    end
    
    return t
end

take a look at this code for example

[wispy falcon]

Okay, thank you

[ocean sinew]

button is the function that gets called when its clicked

[wispy falcon]

I take it that b_t is the custom_button's key?

[chrome token]

ok so this works! ...kind of. it absolutely prints it a bunch of times so now i have to for "context.BLANK" hunting...

[candid elbow]

What are you looking to do

[chrome token]

i'm trying to make a seal that copies every other seal's value in each played card in a hand
so if example if you played a Blue Seal, it would copy however many chips the Blue Seal would add to the coutner

[candid elbow]

Uhhh

I don’t understand

Lol

[chrome token]

maybe i'm bad at explaining lmaoo
say you had the seal in your hand-- if you choose to play a card that has a Blue Seal on it, the seal would copy that Blue Seal before letting the actual Blue Seal do it's thing

ultimately resulting in more chips

[candid elbow]

Blue seal doesn’t give chips 😭

[chrome token]

wait it doesn't?? am i stupid

[candid elbow]

Blue seal creates a planet card on last hand played

😭what are you on about

[chrome token]

...
...curse you my brain 🥲

i sound like a maniac rn when a better example would've been a Gold Seal or something 😭

[wispy falcon]

Wait, where would I put this to test it?

[candid elbow]

You sound like a clanker

[ocean sinew]

anywhere then u would do config = {
custom_buttons = {
{
id = "wheat_collect",
text = "Collect",
text_colour = G.C.YELLOW,
colour = G.C.BLACK,
},
},
(On the joker you wanted to add the button to)
but remember that If you gonna use the code I sent you you'll need to define the custom_button function
Here's how I defined mine:

G.FUNCS.custom_button = function(e)
    local this_card = e.config.ref_table.this_card
    if this_card.highlighted then
    local button_id = e.config.ref_table.id
    SMODS.calculate_context{
        card = this_card,
        custom_button_pressed = true,
        button_id = button_id,
    }
    end
end

[chrome token]

what i MEANT to say is that it should copy any seal on any hand that you play
so if you played a Gold Seal, the seal i'm trying to implement would copy that and give you $3 dollars, and so on

[wispy falcon]

And then it should pop up, when I click the joker?

[ocean sinew]

yep

like this for example

[wispy falcon]

And where do I add the G.FUNCS.custom_button thing?

[ocean sinew]

you just do

G.FUNCS.custom_button = function(e)
    local this_card = e.config.ref_table.this_card
    if this_card.highlighted then
    local button_id = e.config.ref_table.id
    SMODS.calculate_context{
        card = this_card,
        custom_button_pressed = true,
        button_id = button_id,
    }
    end
end

ngl can we actually get this added to SMODS

[wispy falcon]

Would be good

[ocean sinew]

I'mma try a pull request and hope they accept

[wispy falcon]

But where do I put that? Into the joker's calculate? Into the joker itself?

[crystal perch]

trying to make a joker which blueprints the left joker and debuffs the right joker, which currently works but the problem is the right joker is not getting un-debuffed when two-faced is moved. how would i implement a way for it to remember which joker it debuffed so it could undebuff them

[ocean sinew]

outside of anything

not inside joker calculate

or joker

and then to create the button you put

custom_buttons = {

{
id="<button_id>",
text="<button_text>",
text_colour=G.C.WHITE,(your text colour here)
colour=G.C.BLACK(same as above)
}

}

inside the joker config

[crystal perch]

here's an example (the dragon ball card is two-faced's temp art)

[ocean sinew]

then to check when the button gets pressed you can do

if context.custom_button_pressed and context.button_id == "<button_id>" and context.card == card

[ocean sinew]

assuming you defined this

[ocean sinew]

and this

[wispy falcon]

Like this?

[ocean sinew]

yep

the id should actually be your button id

and the text too

custom_buttons is in the wrong position too

It's inside config

but the rest is right

[wispy falcon]

Where does that go?

[ocean sinew]

SMODS.Joker{
config={
custom_buttons={
{
id="button_id",
text="Button Text",
text_colour = G.C.WHITE,
colour = G.C.BLACK,
},

},

}

}

like this for example

the custom_buttons table goes inside config as you can see

then you define a new table inside custom_buttons for each button

[wispy falcon]

But I have it there, do I not?

[ocean sinew]

yep but It's outside config

it should be inside config

config = { extra = { },

this is how your config looks like

wait no

SORRY

you're right lmao

😭

I didn't notice

it is inside config

mb

tht was my fault

I didn't pay attention

should work

test it

[wispy falcon]

Yeah, now it works. Thank you so much :D

[ocean sinew]

np

[crystal perch]

bump

[subtle merlin]

Bump

[subtle merlin]

Maybe you could save it in config and undebuff it in remove_from_deck?

[crystal perch]

i want them to be undebuffed when the joker itself moves not when it's removed from deck

[foggy ginkgo]

Interesting concept

[daring fern]

Save the right jokers sort_id in the config, then find the card with that sort_id and undebuff it.

[wind steppe]

where would i hook (or patch) to disable xmult scoring under a specific condition?

[mossy quest]

does smods have a table of all the loaded jokers?

[frosty rampart]

probably just SMODS.Jokers i think

[mossy quest]

thanks

banishing all mods that use discovered = true

    SMODS.Joker:take_ownership( v ,
        { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
        discovered = false
        },
        true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
    )
end```

[broken rivet]

what is this for

[frosty rampart]

it makes every joker in the game (including modded ones) undiscovered by default (not locked, but it won't display in the collection and it'll say "Not Discovered!" when it shows up in the shop until you buy it for the first time)

[broken rivet]

why

though

like i know what it does

[mossy quest]

I want to

I want to find them naturally, it also lets me see what jokers I've actually played with

[broken rivet]

ah

[azure laurel]

hew, how can i change the main menu stuff like the logo or the card in the middle?

[mossy quest]

bonus reason, cards like this only show discovered jokers

[willow scroll]

if i want to localize the name of a enhancement for joker display, id do localize { type = 'name', set = 'Enhanced', key = 'm_stone' }, right? this somehow gives me a talisman attempt to compare table with number crash 💀

[daring fern]

No, it’s because it’s would be name_text not name

[willow scroll]

i may be smart :clueless:

thank you

hooray

[frosty rampart]

can someone explain what the purpose of joker_retriggers.toml in smods is exactly

[red flower]

return nil, true

(retriggers require the joker to return something iirc)

[frosty rampart]

i see
it's messing with ready to fly in paperback because faceless joker is a little jank, but since the return is important we might just have to take ownership of faceless joker to rewrite its calculate lmao
(ready to fly scales whenever an adjacent joker triggers; context.discard is one of the contexts where we have to check for if the joker is returning a message because yorick counts as "triggering" every time he tracks a discard, not just when he scales. but faceless joker uses ease_dollars and card_eval_status_text instead of just returning dollars like a sane modded joker would)

[brittle tide]

my game keeps crashing whenever I select a card and I'm not sure if its because of my mod

has anyone had this problem before

[thick drift]

well what's the crash error message?

[brittle tide]

there isnt one

just closes

[solid mesa]

what mods do you have

[brittle tide]

my mod was working fine like just a bit ago so idk what happened

[thick drift]

I honestly don't know what kind of error could accomplish that, I'll assume you've tried selecting other cards as well

[brittle tide]

yeah

[hybrid shadow]

why are you using dev talisman

oh wait this is for dev nvm

anyway

[brittle tide]

wait

I downloaded the most recent talisman version and it fixed it?? 😭

I was using this exact same version 15 minutes ago so I have no clue why it just stopped working

[brittle tide]

thanks for pointing that out I owe you one 🫡

[hybrid shadow]

np

ig

i was just curious why you were using dev talisman

but figured it was bc you were using a feature of dev talisman

[brittle tide]

idk I dont remember why I downloaded it

[solid mesa]

your mod works without talisman?

[brittle tide]

no it requires it

[solid mesa]

xd

[brittle tide]

I use Xchips and emult for a few jokers
