[solid mesa]

oh

[hybrid shadow]

xchips is base smods

[brittle tide]

oh didnt know

well emult

[solid mesa]

it is??

[hybrid shadow]

yuh
wouldnt have been able to make homelatro without talisman if it wasnt

[solid mesa]

then idk why i use talisman

[hybrid shadow]

dam

[thick drift]

wait, is it impossible to do emult in vanilla code? Haven't gotten to it in my project, but I have at least one joker I want to square mult

[solid mesa]

what emult was?

^mult?

[thick drift]

Yes

[hybrid shadow]

emult is ^mult

[rancid kindle]

Oh… I didn’t know talisman added Emult.

I just.. coded it myself for my mod, it’s not glowy like cryptid but-

[solid mesa]

yes you can
but it is still recommended to use talisman for these type of mods

[thick drift]

I guess it's good to know - one less problem for me to code

[subtle merlin]

Couldn't you just return xmult = mult or smth?

[brittle tide]

the emult joker of mine I tried to do for a while in vanilla before I realized that talisman just gave an ability for it

[hybrid shadow]

how would i make it so cards created with this sticker also properly give their effect

[thick drift]

@brittle tide If Talisman is required for your mod, I'd recommend setting it's priority lower than Talisman just to ensure Talisman is loaded first. Idk if it's guaranteed to load first with the way Steammodded works, but might help safeguard some issues down the line

[red flower]

i think it needs to be in the apply function

[hybrid shadow]

hold up lemme screenshot that then

[solid mesa]

sorry to intervene
But wasn't it that the higher the number, the lower the priority?

[thick drift]

Iirc it's lower number gets loaded first, but let me double check real quick

[red flower]

correct

it doesn't really matter for talisman because it's a lovely mod

[solid mesa]

oh ty

[red flower]

and this doesn't work?

[hybrid shadow]

not when a card is created (like with DNA) that has it

[red flower]

ohh hmm

[hybrid shadow]

lemme grab a vid rq

[red flower]

it makes sense because the area is probably not the hand when it's created

maybe if you add an event it might work

[hybrid shadow]

where would i add the event

[red flower]

--pseudocode because im on phone and its 1 am
add_event{
    func = function()
        if card.area == G.hand and ....... then
        SMODS.change_play_limit(...)
        ...
        end
        return true
    end
}

[hybrid shadow]

actually im a bit curious if part of the issue is me not allowing the changing of the limits if the card already has the sticker when apply is run

but lets see if the add_event works

oh god i forgot to return true

[subtle merlin]

Question: I'm adding a card to a scoring hand without altering the hand type, and I want it to also score that hand. However, I can't seem to make it score no matter what I mess with. Is there a way to do this without making a new enhancement/edition/sticker/hook?

[thick drift]

You mean like DNA but into hand played?

[subtle merlin]

Not exactly, currently it's:

Hand played
Card added
Original hand scores, card doesn't

I want the card to score, as well

[daring fern]

When are you adding it?

[thick drift]

So it's not added to the same area as the scoring cards?

[subtle merlin]

Hold on a sec

Example of what happens and the code
-# (I already fixed the bug shown here, this is just the only video of it I have on hand)

Wait I may be stupid this doesn't show the issue

If that ace was a two it wouldn't have scored, but I would want it to score still

[wheat jewel]

This isn't working properly, i wanna retrigger cards with an edition but idk if i'm checking it correctly

would i use other_card?

[hybrid shadow]

now the sticker doesnt even work when its applied the initial time

[subtle merlin]

Can context.repetition and context.individual be true at the same time?

[thick drift]

I think that this would require you to have something in context.individual and checking that this card is the same as the card in the position you are emplacing the new card in to return it's value as a_chips

[daring fern]

if context.modify_scoring_hand and context.other_card == G.play.cards[1] then
    return {add_to_hand = true}
end
```?

[wheat jewel]

it works apparently

[wheat jewel]

found the fix thankfully

[subtle merlin]

it works more now, but it still doesn't score

[daring fern]

Why did you change the context for emplacing the card?

[subtle merlin]

i wasn't at my computer when i said what context it was in, i took a guess between before and press_play

before works for how i want the card to be added, but it means the card doesnt score. press_play makes it score but changes the hand type sometimes

[heavy frigate]

Is there a way to add a non-legendary joker to The Soul?

[thick drift]

you can reprogram it with SMODS.Consumable:take_ownership and creating a new use function with some probability to select from either a legendary or some other joker

[heavy frigate]

Oh, so a pain either way. Because i would preferable just have my joker be Legendary, but the game forces a set unlock condition on all legendary jokers.
And i guess dealing with a single function is way simpler than creating a patch.

[thick drift]

couldn't you just have the set unlock condition return true so that it's always unlocked?

[heavy frigate]

I could but who wants a ^1 joker?

[hybrid shadow]

how would i have a card modify specifically wheel of fortune's probability?

[placid star]

I think with the new SMODS.probability thing you can do that without patches

im not sure how, but you'd need to look at the documentation for the function on SMODS

[manic rune]

you can flag the added card, then check for the flag in context.modify_scoring_hand

(sorry i just woke up)

[modern kindle]

Go to sleep

[manic rune]

:3 nah

[umbral briar]

I'm trying to make a joker get unlocked when you win a run with a specific joker, but I can't seem to figure it out. this is what my dumb little brain thought might work but it doesn't

    check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
        if args.type == 'win_custom' and G.jokers then
            if G.jokers == 'modprefix_joker' then
                return true
            end
        end
        return false
    end

[heavy frigate]

I wonder if it would be better to check if the wanted joker has a stake sticker?
I'm not sure how to select an arbitrary joker regardless of run or not, but it seems to have a sticker_run that could be useful.

But that way the unlock condition wouldn't be dependent on winning a run to unlock, and would unlock if the relevant joker already had a win

[umbral briar]

I'll try that

[slim ferry]

G.jokers == <joker key> doesnt work because G.jokers is the entire cardarea

Use SMODS.find_card instead to check for the joker

[umbral briar]

yippee! it works! thank you!

upon further inspection, it doesn't work. I'll have to try and tinker with it

[slim ferry]

I think you would have to do if next(SMODS.find_card("<key>")) maybe

[bold sleet]

Hi chat. Question: When does SMODS save your mod settings, and is there a way to make SMODS save your settings?

*i did some notepad testing on the settings.jkr file and it seems to be quite inconsistent on when it saves.

[solid mesa]

1 mostly when you quit the mods menu
2 idk
3 why notepad instead of VS?

[bold sleet]

Because I got VSC occupied with actual debugging.

[solid mesa]

and VS?

oh no nvm

i thought VC

[bold sleet]

help

Tonsmith is breaking because it doesn't want to save the config

[umbral briar]

okay I got it to work. I made a typo in the key...

[rotund sable]

if context.modify_probability and context.identifier == "wheel_of_fortune" then
  return { numerator = context.numerator * 2 }
end

Multiply the numerator by 2

There could be some typos because I wrote this on mobile

[bold sleet]

Knowing that, is there a way to open the settings menu via G.FUNCS.overlay_menu

Like, the mod's settings menu, or any page I add with extra tabs.

[solid mesa]

out of my hands

ask another person

[bold sleet]

uh... @manic rune idk, you are the UI guy

[candid elbow]

Psps

[daring fern]

G.FUNCS.overlay_menu({definition = SMODS.current_mod.config_tab()})?

[manic rune]

run SMODS.save_mod_config(SMODS.current_mod)

[bold sleet]

oh

please return to Tonsmith we still need that fucking search function

[manic rune]

wat

u can do it urself :3

[placid star]

definition = 'openModUI_modprefix'

[manic rune]

its just some simple string logic lmao

string.find and allat

[bold sleet]

dies

There aren't like, any soundpacks yet so uh...

We'll pretend search doesn't exist.

[manic rune]

a search function is nice to have though

[bold sleet]

help, shit is not working or something idk

[manic rune]

??

[bold sleet]

It ain't saving

[manic rune]

that doesnt do anything since you arent even saving into the config of the mod

[bold sleet]

i do not know how to use that

I just copied and pasted what you sent

and hoped for the best

[manic rune]

create a config.lua file

[bold sleet]

We already have one

[candid elbow]

We

[bold sleet]

I am not the only one working in Tonsmith.

[manic rune]

then you should be changing SMODS.current_mod.config["whatever"]

[daring fern]

How does one make is so Seals and Enhancements can naturally show up on non-playing cards and Editions can naturally show up on non-jokers and non-playing cards?

[bold sleet]

amazing, now it crashes because it can't find the table™

kill_me

[solid mesa]

the last 2 weeks i search for something like that and find nothing, you were the last person i will ask

[manic rune]

maybe hook to create_card?

[wintry solar]

current_mod only has a value during initial loading

[manic rune]

mm might want to change the timing of that code, then

[wintry solar]

assuming you have something like Tonsmith = SMODS.current_mod somewhere, you can just do SMODS.save_mod_config(Tonsmith) whenever you need it to save

not in update

[manic rune]

i wonder who would even do that in update lmao

[subtle merlin]

I may need a bit more explanation to understand how that'll fix it...

[manic rune]

1. change your context.before back to context.press_play lmao
2. context.modify_scoring_hand will run through all the cards in G.play.cards with context.other_card preresenting each one, so adding a flag like

if context.press_play then
  local chosen_card = ...
  chosen_card.always_score = true
end

if context.modify_scoring_hand and context.other_card.always_score then
  return{
    add_to_hand = true
  }
end

will make it so the context checks what card is added, and will also make it scored

[subtle merlin]

Will this also make it so that if I play a 5, and an ace gets added to the scoring hand, both will score?
-# I'd check it instead of asking but I'm not at my computer and won't be for awhile so I thought I might as well ask instead of waiting to get back to my computer

[cosmic egret]

what would be a way to make a deck have the ability to only force my jokers into the pool because I wanna make it so no normal jokers spawn

[red flower]

you can add all other jokers to G.GAME.banned_keys

[cosmic egret]

would that just be added their keys to a large ban list?

[red flower]

yes

[ashen drift]

bro you removed my function that added searching

💔

[manic rune]

i dont think so, no

you are adding cards before the poker hand evaluation, so A will be initially scoring first

[cosmic egret]

im gonna be honest ive never done a deck

i just tried and realized i have no clue where to start😭

[red flower]

decks have an apply function, in that function iterate through G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker and check for not v.original_mod or v.original_mod.id ~= "your mod id". If that's true then you add v.key to the banned_keys table

[subtle merlin]

And there'd be no way at all to do the thing I am looking to do?

[manic rune]

there is

patch into the place i told you before

[red flower]

what do you need to patch?

[manic rune]

uhh adding a card into the scoring hand without changing the poker hand

and making it so the card can still score afterwards

[red flower]

you can maybe use the evaluate_poker_hand context instead

[manic rune]

🤔 that exists?

i added a new context here lol

[red flower]

i added it last update :3

[manic rune]

3:

damn it

[subtle merlin]

So much has been added to SMODS, I'm excited for the next release version

[ashen drift]

why does this code modify TNSMI.reference

[daring fern]

Because TNSMI.packs is just a reference for TNSMI.reference, so when you change something in it, it changes it for TNSMI.reference

[ashen drift]

what??

[daring fern]

You can prevent it by using copy_table

[ashen drift]

huh ok

thanks

[red flower]

a = {}
b = a
a == b -- true

because they're referencing the same table

[ashen drift]

yeah but if i modify b after the b = a line, shouldnt a == b return false instead of true

[red flower]

no

{} == {} is false too

[ashen drift]

huh ok

[red flower]

tables are all different objects

[ashen drift]

ok copy table just closes the game for some reason

[red flower]

does TNSMI.reference have cards in it

[ashen drift]

yeah actually

[red flower]

try SMODS.shallow_copy

[daring fern]

Then you would use SMODS.shallow_copy

[ashen drift]

alright

[versed swan]

Question for anyone familiar with the Operator API (latest SMODS dev), is it possible to make "independent values" that aren't affected by hand level ups nor reset every round/hand/etc.?

[wispy falcon]

How do I destroy a random Joker and replace it with a specific Joker?

[manic rune]

use pseudorandom_element to pick a random joker, run card:start_dissolve(), and use SMODS.add_card to create the joker you want

[wispy falcon]

Okay, gonna try that. Thank you :3

[wispy falcon]

What am i doing wrong?

        local replaceJoker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, "replaceJoker")
        card:start_dissolve(replaceJoker)
        SMODS.add_card("j_cstorm_washed_card")
    end```

[manic rune]

yes

card doesnt exist

[faint yacht]

...why not SMODS.destroy_cards(replaceJoker)?

[wispy falcon]

Okay, how do I fix that?

[manic rune]

whats the difference 🤔

i actually thought about using that too but start_dissolve also gives the animation so idk (i havent used SMODS.destroy_cards that much)

[red flower]

destroy cards calls start dissolve but also does thing like getting sliced and the like

[manic rune]

1. change the line with SMODS.destroy_cards(replaceJoker)
2. SMODS.add_card{key = "j_cstorm_washed_card"}

[manic rune]

mmmmmmmm

icic

[red flower]

and respects shattering

[faint yacht]

Handles shattering too.

[wispy falcon]

Should I use that instead then?

[red flower]

and in general it's just good to use smods utils so you get any support in the future

[manic rune]

true

[red flower]

btw what's the idea here? I don't think you want apply

[wispy falcon]

I want the tag to destroy a random joker and replace it with one

[faint yacht]

I've just returned from bureaucracy trippings... and I do have just one instance of :remove() being used instead of SMODS.destroy_cards for start of run with a deck.

[red flower]

ah i didnt notice it was a tag because it's missing the context

[wispy falcon]

Why is my tag not disappearing after it's activated?

[red flower]

you need to call tag:yep iirc

[manic rune]

gotta love the function name there

[frosty rampart]

yep 👍

[wispy falcon]

Do I need to put a function into it?

[red flower]

idk

[wispy falcon]

It doesn't crash without, so I guess not?

[glass scaffold]

Seems to be crashing every time the Yellow Enhancement is triggered. Anyone know what's going on?

[red flower]

talisman..

[wispy falcon]

Okay, how do I make it, so the tag is only able to spawn if G.jokers.cards isn't empty?

[red flower]

tags have in_pool but you could also sell all jokers before skipping

i would make it nope or not trigger if its empty

[wispy falcon]

Okay

[fickle vale]

Anyone know how to make a joker not appear in the shop?

[red flower]

only the shop or not spawn in any way naturally

[fickle vale]

Not spawn naturally

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-can-i-make-my-card-not-appear-in-the-shopboostersothers

[glass scaffold]

pls help me, I'm tired of this crash.

[fickle vale]

Ty

[red flower]

it's talisman, it doesn't like that you're returning a bignum

idk if its fixed in other versions

[glass scaffold]

So lemme guess, I need to add:

if G.GAME.dollars <= to_big(5) then
    -- code
end```

in the calculate function?

[red flower]

no in this case the problem is the return

i think you need to use lenient_bignum

but idk how that works

[wispy falcon]

This crashes my game...

            local replaceJoker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, "replaceJoker")
            SMODS.destroy_cards(replaceJoker)
            SMODS.add_card{key = "j_cstorm_washed_card"}
            tag:yep("Washed", G.C.BLUE)
            tag.triggered = true
        else
            tag:yep("NOPE", G.C.PURPLE)
            tag.triggered = true
        end```

[red flower]

what's the crash
also G.jokers.cards is never nil

[red flower]

and also there's tag:nope haha

[wispy falcon]

Oh xD

[red flower]

do #G.jokers.cards > 0

[wispy falcon]

It works now, thank you. What does the # do before G.jokers.cards though?

[red flower]

length of the table

[wispy falcon]

Good to know

[mystic river]

is there a way to use vanilla atlases

[red flower]

where

[mystic river]

i'm making a mod that turns every vanilla joker into a deck
so i want the decks to use the vanilla joker art

[red flower]

I think if you add prefix_config = { atlas = false } and then use atlas = "Joker" it will work but I haven't tested

[mystic river]

aha
i forgot about prefix_config

... which calculate contexts get passed to a deck? i am unsurprised to learn that joker_main is not one of them (it's not a joker after all :v)

[red flower]

i think it's most of them, but decks use main_scoring instead of joker_main iirc

[plain apex]

currently making this what values in extra do y'all use for your scaling jokers currently checking for
extra.mult_add or extra.multadd or extra.mult_mod or extra.multmod or extra.xmult_add or extra.Xmult_add or extra.Xmult_mod or extra.x_mult_add or extra.x_mult_mod or extra.xmult_mod or extra.x_chips_add or extra.xchips_add or extra.x_chips_mod or extra.xchips_mod or extra.scaling

[red flower]

i dont have a consistent naming convention but i use x_gain too

and x_loss

[plain apex]

well if anyone else want their value added let me know i think that should cover most of them hopefully

[slim ferry]

You could also just use the calc_scaling stuff thats currently in smods beta, that seems like it would be much easier here

[hushed field]

yeah, that's probably the way to go

[faint yacht]

...should probably also utilize it myself. 😅

[glass scaffold]

So somehow this has just stopped applying the eternal sticker for some odd reason.

[plain apex]

theres calc_scaling? how do i use that?

[frosty rampart]

i'm sure it'll be documented when the next release happens
(which should be soon iirc)

i know "just wait" isn't a great answer but i'm not familiar with it either so if someone else wants to explain it pls go ahead

[plain apex]

well my next release is probably also soon so im either going with what i currently have or fixing that later lol

[faint yacht]

---@param card Card|table
---@param args? table|{ref_table: table, ref_value: string, scalar_value: string, scalar_table: table?, operation: string?}

function SMODS.scale_card(card, args) end

from https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/a1804b42d51d94a98483d5332100a29790168643/lsp_def/utils.lua#L692

[plain apex]

so what exactly would i do here to use that?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if (context.retrigger_joker_check 
            and not context.retrigger_joker 
            and context.other_card ~= self 
            and context.other_card.ability 
            and context.other_card.ability.extra) then
            local extra = context.other_card.ability.extra

            -- Only retrigger if Joker has one of these scaling fields
            if extra.mult_add or extra.multadd or extra.multgain or extra.mult_gain or extra.mult_mod or extra.multmod or extra.xmult_add or extra.Xmult_add or extra.Xmult_mod or extra.x_mult_add or extra.x_gain or extra.x_mult_mod or extra.xmult_mod or extra.x_chips_add or extra.xchips_add or extra.x_chips_mod or extra.xchips_mod or extra.scaling then
                if pseudorandom('Subscribe') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/card.ability.extra.odds then

                    return {
                        message = localize('k_again_ex'),
                        colour = G.C.Mult,
                        repetitions = 1,
                        card = card,
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end,

[red flower]

the reason i didnt propose it is because affecting scaling and detecting scaling jokers is very different

same when people try to detect probability jokers

speaking of which you should be using the new probability functions lol

[plain apex]

theres new ones?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a check the first header

[plain apex]

damn thats how i've done like every probability thing in my mod

[red flower]

i mean that was the old way yeah

[hidden notch]

I've been there too, ... xD

[frosty rampart]

it's a tedious change but definitely worthwhile

[plain apex]

will the old way still work as intended or do i need to go through every probability based thing ever?

[red flower]

it will only work with oops or anything using the old system of modifying the global

it wont support mods using the new contexts

[hidden notch]

What would I need to add, so that this gets only executed once?
It currently triggers it's effects for every playing-card in the deck :')

if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.deck then
    -- Some Code here
    return { message = localize('k_reset') }
end

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-does-contextend_of_round-trigger-so-much

[plain apex]

context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual and context.cardarea == G.deck i think?

[red flower]

is context.main_eval on decks in smods release? hmm

[hidden notch]

We will see, but also thank you for the answer

[red flower]

if it's not in the latest release then do what Eric said

you might need to drop the context.cardarea

[plain apex]

did they change context.cardarea too?

[red flower]

no

[hidden notch]

I can atleast confirm that this does not work in 1.0.0-beta-0711a...

[hidden notch]

But this did!
-# Ope sorry for the ping

[plain apex]

its fine

[red flower]

well it will work in a couple of days so i wont change it :3

[hidden notch]

Very fair

I was already planning a week of Bugfixing, guess I'll wait for the next release then

[stiff locust]

if you don't put an atlas argument

it will just use the vanilla sheet

[mystic river]

yeah but i don't want the vanilla deck sheet

[plain apex]

i still have the option to use old ahh 2024 code in my config despite not making anything new support it lol

[stiff locust]

it uses the vanilla joker sheet by default

[mystic river]

really? weird

[stiff locust]

I know this because I've accidentally done this on several occasions

:)

[red flower]

i dont think thats true

vanillaremade doesnt use an atlas an its the deck atlas

[plain apex]

are there any mods out there that people even still play on old smods or has everyone finally updated past that?

[red flower]

i dont think anyone has used oldcalc since cryptid updated like 8 months ago

[plain apex]

yeah i dont either but i still have that option there in my config if somebody was for some reason lol

[modern kindle]

Im going to dev on old calc

[red flower]

use pre-lovely smods

[modern kindle]

Would you support my endeavors

[void idol]

I'm trying to make a malverk texture pack but i keep getting this error

can anyone help

[red flower]

no

[plain apex]

id support it via the config but i dont know if its even that useful i've added plenty of stuff since i moved to new calc who knows how much of that even fuctions there

[modern kindle]

Why do you hate me

[red flower]

i never support old stuff because i dont have the time to maintain multiple systems

[modern kindle]

Im of mind nothing 'should' be old
I just tend to be lazy

I usually dont change things until its broken

A rare exception was the probability changes which I changed same day

[plain apex]

this i only went to new calc because it was basically forced

cause new calc broke like almost everything i was doing and everyone was using it lol

[wintry solar]

Friendship with dilly is over

The new calc transition is vastly blown out of proportion, it wasn’t even that bad. I think people just think it was bad because cryptid/pwx just didn’t switch over for literally months

[frosty rampart]

i think if you're using a 0.X version of anything you should expect shit to change in a way that requires you to change things on your end. even if it's 0.9.8

[modern kindle]

What the freak
A guy just cant be quirky anymore

[stiff locust]

supporting a codebase that is 9 months outdated and counting is trying too hard to be quirky

[modern kindle]

Its called being retro :///

[plain apex]

man just wants to be so retro

[frosty rampart]

so retro (adds spy cryptid to my mod)

[faint yacht]

so retro

[plain apex]

so retro

[red flower]

retro is like windows 3.1

[faint yacht]

Vintage then?

[stiff locust]

I'm Old!

type beat

[faint yacht]

'cause this would be.

[plain apex]

i have various old mods from 2024 saved what else would i name the folder lol

[modern kindle]

wouldnt that just be vintage

[faint yacht]

95, 98, ME / NT4, 2000, XP are retro then.

[modern kindle]

its weird because apparently the actual meaning of retro is not what ive used it as

cause apparently retro is new items just appearing old

where vintage is old and specific to the era

[red flower]

vintage is like dos

[tired kestrel]

you trying to run balatro on windows 1.01?

[faint yacht]

...that's a bit too broad - FreeDOS still exists.

[red flower]

actually retro is like windows 7 now im just referencing that sanae meme

[red flower]

nes clones still exist

[faint yacht]

That'd be retro then.

[plain apex]

imagine if old windows came with balatro instead of solitare

[frosty rampart]

retro is when corporations pander to your specific childhood experiences /j

[red flower]

the xbox 360 is 20 years old

[faint yacht]

Now, FreeDOS on an a 8086...

[red flower]

i should get that DOS game pack for my mister

[slim ferry]

2020 was 50 years ago

[frosty rampart]

balatro is celebrating its 75th anniversary tomorrow

[slim ferry]

The ps5 is 500 years old

[gilded blaze]

oh crap

I moved SKHDecks to that without redoing the test

[wispy falcon]

How would I change the sprite of something like jimball from cryptid does? Do I use update to switch the sprite to the next so it's animated?

[red flower]

yes

[wispy falcon]

And then with a loop that increases x and y when needed?

[red flower]

you wouldn't loop in update

you would just changes the values based on the time

[wispy falcon]

How?

[floral narwhal]

how can i debuff two suits in a blind?

[red flower]

update has a dt argument for time or use G.real_dt or G.TIMERS.REAL if you dont care about the game speed

[wispy falcon]

Okay, thanks :)

[keen tiger]

are balatro's translations considered proprietary like balatro's code?
im working on a project where im using a slightly patched translation set (hard to explain why) and im unsure if its okay to publically check them in to github

[red flower]

probably

vanillaremade uses them tho :3

[fervent flume]

i was trying to do a joker that retriggers enhanced cards but it is not working, can someone explain to me how to make it work?

[red flower]

instead of has_enhancement do next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card))

has_enhancement is for checking for a specific one

[fervent flume]

thanks it is working now

[languid canopy]

hello there, what is happening ? am i missing something ?

[red flower]

you posted everything except the actual definition of the consumable lol

[languid canopy]

like the code of it itself

wait

[red flower]

yes

my guess is that the consumable type is either wrong or non existent

[red flower]

did you define a ConsumableType?

[languid canopy]

i may have not

howd i do that

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/a1350db5a08a2b7a3296895581991c381e29b5a8/src/tarots.lua#L3

like that

[languid canopy]

smods.consumabletype ig

thx ill try that

[crimson tapir]

how do i make a texture pack with steam modded

[languid canopy]

is that a matter of skill issue ? the new consumable thingy works but now i dont know if the error is sm to do with localization or anything else

[red flower]

yeah its missing the localization

[languid canopy]

goes in dictionary ?

[red flower]

it goes in a couple of places i dont remember

[languid canopy]

oh alright

time to investigate

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[red flower]

just ctrl+f vremade_tarot on vanillaremade's loc file

[robust marsh]

hello, I'd like to know if there's a way to make a SMODS joker always be eternal?

[languid canopy]

oh yes ofc

thx

[red flower]

card:set_eternal(true) in set_ability

[crimson tapir]

how do i make my sm mod replace the already existing art of a joker

[languid canopy]

check code from the animating vanilla joker mod, it might help

this is not the actual name tho, i forgot

[wintry solar]

Use Malverk

[robust marsh]

yeah that worked, thanks :)

[crimson tapir]

is there not just a thing like for decks where they use smods.init.DecColors

[wintry solar]

You mean DeckSkins?

[crimson tapir]

yeah but with jokers instead

[wintry solar]

Yes its called Malverk

[crimson tapir]

does it use code or is it another thing

[thick drift]

So I have tried making this bit of code that is meant to increment the xmult of a joker when a class of jokers is triggered. I currently have it to check the joker's key with a table of valid keys. This code worked when I used context.other_joker, but I when I switched it to context.post_trigger, my reference to the joker no longer worked and using context.other_card didn't help either. I've tried having a key_append value in context.other_ret, but that doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas on how else I can evaluate which joker just triggered?

[hushed field]

Context.other_card should still work in post_trigger

Oh, I see

Other_card

Can you show your code?

[thick drift]

            local potion = false
            for _, k in ipairs(POTIONS) do
                if context.other_ret.key_append and context.other_ret.key_append == k then -- this is my latest attempt, I previously used context.other_card.config.center_key
                    potion = true
                    break
                end
            end
            if potion then
                print('success 2')
                card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
                return {
                    message = localize {
                        type = 'variable',
                        key = 'a_xmult',
                        vars = {card.ability.extra.mult_mod}
                    }
                }
            end
        end```

[hushed field]

What values does POTIONS contain, exactly?

[thick drift]

a list of key values for specific jokers

[crimson tapir]

im trying to do this lua function SMODS.INIT.DecColors() local dec_mod = SMODS.findModByID("newcards") local sprite card = SMODS.Sprite:new("cards_1", dec_mod.path, "newcards.png",71,95,"asset_atli") sprite_card:register() end with jokers instead of the deck

[wispy falcon]

How do I use G.TIMERS.REAL in the update function to change the sprite?

[wintry solar]

This is jank ass code from more than a year ago

[crimson tapir]

so does your thing use code to replace the jokers or is a seperate add on to balatro that manages texture packs

[robust marsh]

I'm having a bit of trouble.. I know that you can make a deck start with certain jokers but how exactly do I handle custom jokers (SMODS.Joker)?

[frosty rampart]

j_[mod prefix]_[joker key] is the template for the key of any joker in the game. vanilla jokers are just j_[joker key]. the mod prefix is whatever the author defined in the mod's metadata. of course make sure that the mod actually exists on the player's side if you're adding a joker from another mod

[wintry solar]

Both

[robust marsh]

yeah the joker is packed with the deck, that helps a lot thank you!

[crimson tapir]

so can i use it in a normal mod file so i can do the joker art replacement and do other things in the mod

[wintry solar]

Yes

[crimson tapir]

ok does it require the add on part

[wintry solar]

Yes

[crimson tapir]

ok thank you

[wispy falcon]

bump

[harsh warren]

i need help lol

im triyng to make a joker that makes gold cards give 3+ dollars

[thick drift]

isn't that what they already do? when/how do you want it to trigger?

[harsh warren]

yeah but i want them to give another 3

like 6

in simpler word

retrigger

[thick drift]

I'd imagine the best approach would be to have it be a repetition effect through context.end_of_round and context.repetition and context.individual and using ease_dollars([var]) or whatever method the mime uses to retrigger effects after checking that the card's enhancement is gold

[harsh warren]

alr thx

[crimson tapir]

why do you keep saying bump

[rotund sable]

bump

[slim ferry]

me when im driving

[rotund sable]

i'd help you but i don't use it while animating the sprite

[wispy falcon]

I'm bumping my message so that I don't need to rewrite my message again and again

[crimson tapir]

oh ok

[wispy falcon]

What do you use for that?

[rotund sable]

update = function(self, card, dt)
    local FPS = 6
    local total_frames = 40
    if card.ability.extra.delay == 60 / FPS then
        card.ability.extra.x_pos = (card.ability.extra.x_pos + 1) % total_frames
        card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = card.ability.extra.x_pos, y = 0})
        card.ability.extra.delay = 0
    else
        card.ability.extra.delay = card.ability.extra.delay + 1
    end
end,

back then i didn't know G.TIMERS.REAL existed

so im not sure if a solution with that is better or not

[harsh warren]

great

[ocean sinew]

ok

[wispy falcon]

N told me that I could use G.TIMERS.REAL for that but I can't find anything about animating with it

[ocean sinew]

what is G.TIMERS.REAL for?

like If game speed is higher the update speed runs faster????

I have some things coded which use timers so I wanted to know

[wispy falcon]

No, it ignores the game speed

[ocean sinew]

oh

ok thats good then

[red flower]

yes

[frosty rampart]

consider that the update function is run once per frame, but that frequency tends to vary because the game runs at different framerates between systems and can even fluctuate mid-game
then consider that debugplus lets you use eval in the console to get the value of any variable in the game. like, for example, G.TIMERS.REAL. that way you can figure out exactly how that timer works and how to use it to track a consistent speed in your update function. like, for example, 1/60th of a second

[wispy falcon]

Okay, what?

[ocean sinew]

If I wanted to track the actual time passed then I just do dt/G.TIMERS.REAL?

[red flower]

you can use G.real_dt

[ocean sinew]

So It's like dt/G.real_dt

[red flower]

no just G.real_dt

[ocean sinew]

how would I do something whenever 10 seconds passes though for example

[frosty rampart]

i'm trying to guide you to find the solution yourself. partly so that you can pick up on programming skills that are useful for balatro modding in general, and partly because i myself don't know what exactly G.TIMERS.REAL measures off the top of my head, and i have laundry to do so i don't want to boot up balatro and check at this moment

[red flower]

keep a sum of G.real_dt until it reaches 10

or save the starting time of G.TIMERS.REAL and check until the starting time + 10 is true

[timid zinc]

is there any way to have additional text for an object in only the infobox? i have an enhancement that adds additional chips when applied and it appears fine in the collection and on applied cards as in the 1st image but the infobox referencing it just has the first part

[crimson tapir]

bump

[ocean sinew]

so I would just do like
local outside_variable=0
local last_time = G.real_dt
update = function(self,dt)
outside_variable=outside_variable+(G.real_dt-last_time)
last_time=G.real_dt
if outside_variable >=10 then ...
end

[red flower]

no

real_dt s the deta time so it's the time since the last frame

it's not a timer

[wispy falcon]

Do I need to use SMODS.DrawStep for it?

[ocean sinew]

oh

so I would just add outside_variable with G.real_dt

[red flower]

no it can be in draw or update

[wispy falcon]

Okay

[ocean sinew]

like outside_variable=outside_variable+G.real_dt

[red flower]

i use drawstep because i share the sprite with multiple cards

[red flower]

yeah and when it reaches 10 you reset

[ocean sinew]

thanks

I was adding with the dt from the update function before

so some stuff in my mod that uses timers are probably incorrect

[red flower]

in loc_vars return { key = card.fake_card and "m_modprefix_key_alt" or nil } and then have a localization entry with key m_modprefix_key_alt

[timid zinc]

why didnt i think of that

thank you!

[crimson tapir]

[frosty rampart]

you need your mod prefix when you add textures to the texturepack
so i.e. the AltTexture just has key = 'rrjokers', but when you're defining the TexturePack it needs to be textures = { 'modprefix_rrjokers' }
the modprefix is the prefix you decided on when you made the metadata for this mod

[crimson tapir]

where in the code do i put that

[frosty rampart]

when you're defining the TexturePack

[crimson tapir]

thanks

is there a way to make it automatically applied

[wind steppe]

is there a way to remove the mod badge from a joker i made

[ocean sinew]

set_badges

[crimson tapir]

does anyone know of an online tool i can resize the balatro textures to 2x without anti aliasing

[ocean sinew]

Idk of a online tool but u can use krita + nearest neighbor

[slim ferry]

If you use aseprite you can export > export as and then increase the size to 200% in the export menu

[ocean sinew]

I FIGURED IT OUT

I FIGURED IT OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

You just spam every channel saying that

And no one knows what you mean

[bold sleet]

[glass scaffold]

How do I increase the chances of Jokers from a specific mod appearing?
(Using SMODS.Voucher for this)

[red flower]

There's not really an easy way to change chances for specific cards yet

[subtle merlin]

You only ignored him?

[red flower]

ok we don't need to keep talking about this

[ocean sinew]

Thanks

[glass scaffold]

But there IS a way, no?

[red flower]

yeah, reimplement the entire pool system. I have done it, I don't recommend it

just wait until smods adds a solution

[glass scaffold]

Nevermind...

[robust marsh]

I'm working on a joker that's exclusive to a single deck, how can I make it unable to appear in the normal joker pool (packs, shops, etc.)

[red flower]

If they're jokers from your mod you can also give them a custom rarity

[ocean sinew]

use in_pool function

[robust marsh]

ty

[frosty rampart]

more specifically, just make the function always return false (you can still manually create the joker regardless of in_pool)

[robust marsh]

yeah the deck naturally starts with said joker so my main concern was it appearing outside of it. Thank you both 👍

[wind steppe]

how would i remove the mod badge from a spectral card i made entirely?

[ocean sinew]

set_badges function

[royal badger]

why does the game round up my xmult from 1.987 to 1.99 and can I change that?

[ocean sinew]

what mods are u using

[royal badger]

Im testing it with my own mod

[bold sleet]

The game by default will only allow up to two decimals on most numbers.

Trust me, I tried math.pi and it only spit out 3.14

[royal badger]

is it somehow changeable?

[bold sleet]

I mean, in theory everything is changeable./

But I would not recommend you get into that.

[red flower]

i think the game actually uses the whole number

you would probably need to make them into strings to display it properly

[timid zinc]

marquee or no marquee

[red flower]

i hate marquee

[timid zinc]

i mean hey you can disable it for mod badges

[wispy falcon]

How do I change the colors of my message from my joker? message = "Something"

[frosty rampart]

you can use the colors listed in the Text Styling page on the wiki (the value, so e.g. "G.C.RED")

[bold sleet]

Or anything under G.C

[royal badger]

what did I do wrong that only one message from that 2 is shown?

[wispy falcon]

I'm stupid, I wrote colors instead of colours

[red flower]

a table can only have one field of the same name, in this case try having one be named xmult_message and the other chips_message

[red flower]

i think you need to remove remove_default_message if using these

[royal badger]

so it kinda worked, but the xmult doesnt have a message now, its just the blank square

[red flower]

can i see the code

[royal badger]

                    xmult_message = "X1.987",
                    -- remove_default_message = true,
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.fred,
                    chips_message = "+1987",
                    chips = card.ability.extra.chips
                }```

[red flower]

oh yeah i forgot it takes a table

xmult_message = { message = "X1.987", colour = G.C.MULT }

it's also chip_message sorry

[royal badger]

all good, it works now Thank u :D

and also, is there a way to implement a video before the joker starts scoring? like the video plays and goes away on its own after it finished

[red flower]

everything is possible with the magic of computers

but i couldn't tell you how to do it haha

[ocean sinew]

https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Video:play maybe take a look at this

[neat leaf]

Is there a UI config for individual padding directions? I have padding = 0.05 but I want the left padding to be 0

[ocean sinew]

https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Video

https://www.love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.newVideo

[red flower]

i don't think so unfortunately

[neat leaf]

hmm. I might be able to embed this G.UIT.C inside another G.UIT.C where the outer one has full padding but the inner one doesn't

[solemn shuttle]

this is a goofy question to ask but is there any way, like on the screen, you can position a created card/joker on the screen

say if i wanted it to show up at the top of the screen and glide into the joker slots or smth like that lmao

ive been thinking about doing smth with love.draw but im not sure if that would be the Method

[neat leaf]

yes, there's a way to do this

[red flower]

you can put any card wherever you want on screen
if you put it on a random place and then area:emplace it in the correct area it will go fly there on its own

unless you mean something else

[neat leaf]

config.offset.x and config.offset.y, inside a UIBox with config.major = G.ROOM_ATTACH (I think)

this assumes you don't have a CardArea you're trying to leverage

if you have a CardArea, then use that (and I can't help here; my knowledge really only extends to how tags are drawn)

[solemn shuttle]

hmmm
-# i have very little experience with ui so i may have to look into that more 😭

[solemn shuttle]

smth like that could work, though my question would then be how to set up where it spawns to be where i'd want it before area:emplace does its work

would it be smth id add to like SMODS.add_card or should i use a different function

[red flower]

use local added_card = SMODS.create_card(...) because add_card emplaces it automatically

then I think you can do added_card.T.x = number and the same for y to put it somewhere on the screen and inside an event with a delay do G.jokers:emplace(added_card) (or whatever area it should be in)

if you want the card to just come from out the screen the easiest way is to use add_card and first place it in G.discard which is what vanilla does

[timid zinc]

what does this mean? can i trigger a deck on normal contexts like a joker

[red flower]

yes

[solemn shuttle]

ah ok, yeah i think i figured smth out with it

ty lol

[brittle yacht]

is there a limit to deafult_weight on a rarity?

i put 100 for it to be extremely common, and i never saw it rerolling 30 times.

[royal badger]

I tried to add a video but the game crashes everytime and says theres something wrong with the love.graphics.draw and I dont really know whats wrong with it. can somebody help?

[daring fern]

Did you put it in the joker pool?

[brittle yacht]

yes

[daring fern]

Code?

[brittle yacht]

SMODS.Rarity {
    key = 'commoner',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Extremely Common',
    },
    badge_colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE,
    default_weight = 10
}```

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = 'debit',
    path = 'momcard.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker {
    key = 'debit',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Debit Card",
        text = {
            'Go up to {C:red}-$0{} in debt'
        }
    },
    atlas = 'debit',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 'silly_commoner',
    cost = 1,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    pools = { ['SillyPool'] = true, ['AllSillyPool'] = true, },
}```

[daring fern]

You didn't put it in the joker pool.

[brittle yacht]

what joker pool 😭

[daring fern]

You need pools = {Joker = true} in the rarity.

[brittle yacht]

i havent had to do that with my other rarities

but they are both 0 and 0.01

i guess

anyway

so just like

    key = 'commoner',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Extremely Common',
    },
    badge_colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE,
    default_weight = 100,
    pools = {Joker = true}
}```

[daring fern]

Yes.

[brittle yacht]

ight thanks

[royal badger]

bump

[daring fern]

You're overwriting 2 very important love functions.

[royal badger]

so I need to do what..?

[turbid maple]

havent actually read what youre doing but you can hook functions instead of overwriting them

[unkempt thicket]

How can i fix this spriting problem on base tags as cards?

It works fine on modded tags but not base for some reason

[turbid maple]

local ref_to_original = love.something // store reference to the original function
function love.something(arg)
  ref_to_original(arg) // the original function is left intact and runs as expected
  do_what_you_want() // stuff you're tacking on top of it

Hey , im new to modding and coding in general and i don't know what the tutorial video use for coding 😅

[royal badger]

so wait what u mean with ref_to_original?

[turbid maple]

its a variable

you store a reference to the function you want to hook

[royal badger]

quick fun fact I dont really know what hooking is

[daring fern]

No, you need to return the original function.

[turbid maple]

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

if you care what the orig function returned yeah sure

[turbid maple]

you dont really need to care about the specific editor they use

[frosty rampart]

it doesn't particularly matter what you use, as long as you're comfortable with it. my recommendation is either VSCodium (a fork of VSCode without any telemetry or microsoft branding) or Notepad++, depending on whether you'd like a fully featured IDE or just a more simple text editor

[turbid maple]

people will get into religious wars about them all it matters is that it can edit text

[frosty rampart]

my real recommendation is to go in raw with plain old notepad, not having syntax highlighting builds character /j

[proven pewter]

thx ! and void too !

[turbid maple]

aside from that do you even have Freddy defined the error message is complaining that it's nil

[mossy quest]

N++ my beloved

[frosty rampart]

i'm running with neovide for now (essentially just a GUI wrapper around neovim) but yea, i think if i weren't indoctrinated into vim as a preteen i'd be a big fan of N++

[mossy quest]

i also use it to write json for minecraft datapacks lol

[turbid maple]

fellow vim fan...

[royal badger]

wait what u mean?

[rotund sable]

I'd rather send https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook

[frosty rampart]

it scratches my brain

[cursive gazelle]

I should really make a tutorial on how to mod explaining also the code and guiding people

[mental nacelle]

      return { remove = true }
end```
this should remove the card right? (when placed in the calculate function of an enhancement)

[cursive gazelle]

I’ve been saying this since 2 weeks

[restive nova]

Hi! I'm on mac but I've tested and this bug also happened on pc. Whenever I go into the stakes menu, the game crashes. I asked on the paperback server but they told me the bug comes from bunco. Is there a way to fix it?

[bold sleet]

"Don't have Bunco, then"

... and probably report the bug over there

[frosty rampart]

(we did not say the bug comes from bunco for sure, and in fact during testing the game still crashed with bunco turned off)

[bold sleet]

then idk

You have good luck on that. I am going to go sleep. It's 3 am

[restive nova]

alright sorry for bothering you

[grim tundra]

if i may ask, what does modify internal value do?

like does it increases all values of a joker like increasing its mult or osmething

[subtle merlin]

-# i am not smart enough to understand what i'd need to do in that context...

[red flower]

me neither

it would be easier if you coud call the evaluate hand function inside it haha

[subtle merlin]

I'm now messing with SMODS.score_card, but it either crashes or does nothing (as per usual)

[red flower]

can you give me the code you have now so i can test

[subtle merlin]

SMODS.Back {
    key = "necromancy",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Necromancy Deck",
        text = {
            "Immutable 1/4 chance to Ressurect",
            "a previously destroyed card"
        }
    },
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
--[[     config = {
        extra = {
            destroyed_cards = {},
            selected_card = nil
        }
    }, ]]
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            local CArd = G.hand.cards[1]
            G.play:emplace(CArd)
            G.hand:remove_card(CArd)
            SMODS.score_card(CArd, context)
            return {add_to_hand = true}
        end
        if context.modify_scoring_hand and context.other_card == G.play.cards[1] then
            return {add_to_hand = true}
        end
    end
}

-# it being a deck just makes this harder, doesn't it

also the description is what's planned, but that's the easy part n rn im just trying to get the add to hand and score part to work

[crystal perch]

could you elaborate or provide an example of this? i'm not sure how to use sort_id and it's only ever referenced once in the SMODS github

[daring fern]

SMODS.score_card calculates the deck.

[subtle merlin]

oohh

[chrome token]

Any help and reason as to why this doesn't work?? Trying to add a Poker Hand and I just do not understand how it works because I keep getting this error...

[daring fern]

You're telling SMODS to not add your mod prefix.

[chrome token]

even if i do tell it to, i still get the same error ._.

i have poker hands that do this same thing and they work just fine

(and also, i don't think it should affect SMODS not being able to find it, since prefix_config is an optional parameter...)

just to show

"btti" is the mod prefix 🥲

...ok so. quite the embarrassing mistake. i was trying to check the Run Info on a saved run that didn't have that hand prior...

[manic rune]

in context.modify_scoring_hand you want to change the context.scoring_hand directly im p sure 🤔

[red flower]

not the prettiest but it does what you want

[manic rune]

your code seems to uh re-evaluate the poker hand too?

[red flower]

yes

[manic rune]

i dont think its necessary since thats already done 🤔

[red flower]

when

[sturdy compass]

Anybody happen to know of any mods that have a text-entry config option?

[manic rune]

in G.FUNCS.evaluate_play, it runs the evaluate poker hand function with the hand that includes the new card already

since context.press_play adds to G.play before that

[red flower]

i thought the problem was that they didnt want to include the new card

only count it for scoring

[manic rune]

oh yeah

[red flower]

my code reevaluates the poker hand without that card

[manic rune]

mm i kinda just patched a context after the evaluate poker hand function to add to the scoring hand without counting it lol

[red flower]

maybe adding it directly to the scoring hand in context before also works

[manic rune]

mhm

🤔

[red flower]

i was assuming it didnt lol

let me test

[manic rune]

actually no it wont work

the timing of context.before is a bit too late

[red flower]

it does work

the animation is wrong tho

[manic rune]

yeah the animation is above there

[red flower]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before then
            local CArd
            for _, pcard in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if not pcard.highlighted then
                    CArd = pcard
                    break
                end
            end
            if CArd then
                G.play:emplace(CArd)
                G.hand:remove_card(CArd)
                table.insert(context.scoring_hand, CArd)
            end
        end
    end

the animation of my other method was also kinda wrong

what if i call highlight_card

[manic rune]

mmm

u could replicate that, that would work too

[red flower]

that works for the highlight yay

[manic rune]

highlight_card(CArd, (#context.scoring_hand+1-0.999)/5,'up') should work?

[red flower]

the problem is that the text is still below but that was true of my other method

[manic rune]

:3 wat text

[red flower]

let me record

[manic rune]

wth lol

thats weird

[gusty iron]

That looks interesting

[manic rune]

maybe its because of how cards are added to scoring hand is kinda different?

not sure

[gusty iron]

What's it supposed to do?

[manic rune]

adds another card to the scoring hand without changing the poker hand

[gusty iron]

Oh fire

[crystal perch]

like splash?

[manic rune]

not really?

it grabs a card from your hand, and shoves it into the scoring hand

[crystal perch]

so even if you select 5 you can get 6

[manic rune]

mhm

i have an effect that does that too, but it doesnt have the message at the bottom so thats weird

[unkempt thicket]

How can i fix this spriting problem on base tags as cards? It works fine on modded tags but not base for some reason

[subtle merlin]

-# what am i even looking at-

[manic rune]

seems like a position issue idk

[subtle merlin]

it works well enough for my needs, ill start working on the easier part of it, ty both sm!

[manic rune]

https://gyazo.com/9acc66391eccdcd98df0643d50831490

[unkempt thicket]

It only seems to happen for vanilla tags and it's off by a pixel or two per x/y index

[manic rune]

the <100% potency one has it so the added card has to be a part of the scoring hand for it to count too

the >=100% potency one has the added cards always scored

[manic rune]

mmm

maybe you could check if its a vanilla atlas specifically and change the position idk :p

[manic rune]

cant help but notice that the shadow is wrong too actually

lol

it might actually be the draw_card part :p

[red flower]

i tried that but it didnt fix the message

im close tho

[manic rune]

but what im kinda confused about is my code shouldnt touch the draw_card but it works normally

weird

imagine its somehow more convoluted on newer versions 😭

[red flower]

well enough is not good for me

calculate = function(self, back, context)
    if context.press_play then
        back.in_scoring = true
    end
    if context.evaluate_poker_hand and back.in_scoring and not back.necromanced then
        local CArd = G.hand.cards[1]
        if CArd then
            back.necromanced = true
            CArd.necromanced = true
            G.hand:remove_card(CArd)
            G.play:emplace(CArd)
            table.insert(context.scoring_hand, CArd)
        end
    end
    if context.modify_scoring_hand and context.in_scoring and context.other_card.necromanced then
        context.other_card.necromanced = nil
        return { add_to_hand = true }
    end
    if context.after then
        back.in_scoring = nil
        back.necromanced = nil
    end
end

evaluate_poker_hand should have an in_scoring value

[manic rune]

🤔 what does the in_scoring part do

[red flower]

evaluate_poker_hand is called every time you select a card

it's also called twice when playing a hand

one for debuff the other for actual scoring

[manic rune]

oh lol

[crystal perch]

anyone know how i could make an effect trigger when adding/removing a seal
such as giving +1 hand size when the seal is added and -1 when it's removed
i'm asking because on the docs seals don't have add_to_deck, remove_from_deck, or apply as methods

[red flower]

oh CArd = G.hand.cards[1] is probably wrong here iforgot

[daring fern]

Hook Card:set_seal()

[red flower]

but you want to change it anyway so it doesnt matter

[timid zinc]

i dont know why it's 1 in 1

[manic rune]

what smtcom said, and something to check whenever the card is destroyed too i think?

why dont seals have things like apply, remove now that i think about it

🤔

is this a pr worthy opportunity chat

[subtle merlin]

yea i'm just making a list of cards destroyed that run and picking randomly from it for the card- wait i just realized why the random part wasnt working

[red flower]

idk if it works when the seal is removed but i would wait a couple of days for the next smods version that is adding a card_limit config to seals

[crystal perch]

what would adding card_limit entail

[red flower]

what you want

it works like negative

[crystal perch]

i see

the thing is my seals are on jokers lol

[red flower]

oh well thats a somethingcom thing then

i feel like that shouldve been clarified in the question tho haha

[crystal perch]

fair

[manic rune]

i think this should be all?

[subtle merlin]

should i just scrap this idea or smth? First that part was hard and now the grabbing a random card that was destroyed this run part is fucking up. Ill still use this code for smth else, probably a joker

[manic rune]

whats your effect idea again

asides from the scoring one

[subtle merlin]

1/4th chance to "resurrect" a random card that was destroyed this run
-# (resurrecting being creating that destroyed card and doing the scoring thing on it)

[daring fern]

You would have to hook Card:remove() and save important properties of the card to a G.GAME variable.

[manic rune]

the difficult part would be modded modifiers though ngl

[crystal perch]

how/where would i put this in order to use it? i'm running on empty so head's foggy atm

[manic rune]

checking for enhancements, editions and seals is easy enough, but you cant really account for modded modifications unless you add them on your end

[manic rune]

oh uh i kinda planned this to be a smods pr, but just put it anywhere lol

[crystal perch]

very cool

so like a util function

[manic rune]

that should theroetically add apply(self, card), and remove(self, card) to SMODS.Seal

[subtle merlin]

I'm too dumb for that x3

[manic rune]

same lol

cant really figure out a good way to do that

[red flower]

you can just do self:remove

wait no i misread lol

its 1 am i should sleep

[subtle merlin]

Tomorrow I'll add what somethingcom suggested and do some more messing around then call it there because I am not asking for more help with this
(I already feel bad asking this much help)

[manic rune]

go to sleep N'

[red flower]

i was wordleing

the word was hard

not actually the word hard because thats 4 letters

[manic rune]

3:

i should wordle

[crystal perch]

wordle was a bit of a doozy today

[red flower]

im still proud of this it came out good

now i need to do the art for the jokers

[subtle merlin]

Ooooooooohhhhhhh I had an idea, what if instead of recreating a card exactly, it took a random thing from the destroyed ranks, suits, enhancements, editions, and seals and then created a card with all of them

[crystal perch]

doesn't seem to work unless i implemented it wrong

[manic rune]

delta?

[crystal perch]

i 1:1 recreated the code into my hooks.lua file, which i know is properly loaded, and wrote the seal out as so

oh wait

fuck

i'm tired

[manic rune]

doesnt seem like its an issue with the hooks lol

[crystal perch]

i wrote h_size not hand_size

[manic rune]

lmao

[crystal perch]

yeah it works

very cool

[manic rune]

mm realized i need to account for more stuff

especially self.added_to_deck

[crystal perch]

for my purposes this works because you can only ever manually apply these seals

but for inclusion in smods yeah

[manic rune]

oh i see

yeah that should be fine, but if the card with the seal appears in shop or booster packs rn then the effect will still apply lol

[manic rune]

whats the code that adds the playing cards at the start of run? i figured it out

[gusty iron]

Dont get me wrong but like...

Isnt this just what applying negative to a card does??

[craggy chasm]

got permission to port someone's card skins to SMOD DeckSkin, and it's.... not showing up??? the files are there, but the cards are designless???

does anyone know what i did wrong
i want all the card skins to be usable in one big mod

[foggy ginkgo]

Check the size

Make sure the correct pixels are in the correct places

X1 is 71 to smth while X2 is 142

[cursive gazelle]

Good morning

Does anyone know how can i display cards in config page / other page

[craggy chasm]

oh i was pixel off hold on

[cursive gazelle]

It’s probably not a pixel size issue if it was you would’ve gotten the same result just one pixel off

[foggy ginkgo]

Depends on what size you are viewing

Tho idk I had this problem before so

[cursive gazelle]

Yes but it won’t display a white canvas

[foggy ginkgo]

Shrug

[cursive gazelle]

How’s the teto mod doing btw

[foggy ginkgo]

One more left

How's your mod going

[cursive gazelle]

not much progress has been made mainly just seu pai working on talisman 2.0 and me figuring out ui and shader stuff

[foggy ginkgo]

Fun fun

You got a thread of your mod or nah

[cursive gazelle]

Nope

Will have when 1.0 release

[craggy chasm]

okay all the card sizes are the same it's still busted

[cursive gazelle]

I can give you a template

[foggy ginkgo]

Don't yiu need to make all the suits in one image

[cursive gazelle]

Not really

You can work around it

[foggy ginkgo]

Oh right pos

You don't got that

[craggy chasm]

for the card images or the lua script?

[cursive gazelle]

Both

[craggy chasm]

because the card layout i used worked on a single card suit mod

but this is adding
3 x
1 x
2 x
3 x

• all their high contrast versions

[cursive gazelle]

This one adds x3 of all suits and their high contrast

[craggy chasm]

oh that'd work

[cursive gazelle]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1328621901496713328

It also has only face cards

You can change the assets and stuff

How can I make another booster pack slot appear in the shop within a custom deck? I know it's possible but I have no clue how to implement it

[long sun]

Oh 😭

Balatro modder reads (challenge)

[cursive gazelle]

It’s a global table i think you need to increment the size by 1 but i forgot

[cursive gazelle]

God forbid you read as a modder

[ripe jacinth]

how do i do animated jokers

[long sun]

crossmod with Aura, mainly

you could implement your own system, like what Phanta does, but it's better to just use Aura

-# unless you need something more complicated

[ripe jacinth]

so basically make aura a dependency

[long sun]

maybe not a dependency

[ripe jacinth]

just a frame by frame animation

[long sun]

you could make them non-animated if it's not installed

[long sun]

ah yeah that's definitely doable with Aura

[robust marsh]

SMODS.change_booster_limit(1) seemed to work :)

or implement this

HOW DOES THIS WORK.

[cursive gazelle]

They literally stated it step by step

[ripe jacinth]

do i add the lua file to my mod

[cursive gazelle]

Copy the inside and tweak it

[maiden phoenix]

At this point you should ask a dev to make your mod, you're getting every answer spoonfed to you without trying to learn anything

[long sun]

ease up a little 😭

we've all been new to this before

[maiden phoenix]

No but like you havent seen their past messages

[long sun]

and you haven't seen mine :)

[maiden phoenix]

That wasnt directed to you?

[ripe jacinth]

i uh.. figured it out before seeing that message.

[long sun]

aware

[ripe jacinth]

and it didnt work

so fuck me. i give up then

im going back to html

[ripe jacinth]

also honestly, valid criticism

sorry for being a little bit dumb and way too reliant on others

[long sun]

it's fine by me, don't worry

i'm assuming you're just starting modding balatro

-# if not, sorry for the assumption 😭

[ripe jacinth]

this is my very first mod, and im committing the crime of being too ambitious

[long sun]

ambition is good!

and lua is hard!

so don't worry

[ripe jacinth]

still

i should've taken the initiative to learn

but instead i fumbled with jokerforge and code editing like a fucking dumbass

[daring fern]

How would one draw a joker on a card, but it's the size of a seal, and in the position of a seal?

[long sun]

bahhh you're fine ^^;

@long sun sdm was right

im not cut out for this

i cant even get a joker to animate

[cursive gazelle]

Try harder

[long sun]

youuuuuuu just started :)

that is to be expected

[cursive gazelle]

Lumi took a look at the code and gave up

[long sun]

my advice is, if something crashes, the crash log is very important

[ripe jacinth]

looking through how aura does it

so far i still hate people who put all their code in one single .lua file

[cursive gazelle]

I think you better follow bepis’s instructions

[daring fern]

Wait, it should be SMODS.Back. I think.
