Rip

[next timber]

am I using the new (to me. i havent updated smods in ages) probability syntax wrong? it seems like this is how youre meant to use it so idk why it's showing 1 in nil

[wintry solar]

it is 100% looping through the entire deck every time quantum enhancements are checked

that WILL cause mega lag

[mystic river]

I'd double check card.ability.odds

[next timber]

oh shit im dum

its card.ability.extra.odds

ty lol

[faint yacht]

This occurs even if I comment out the actual deck code, it still causes lag with the Joker present on its' own on other decks.

[wintry solar]

that seems very strange

[tepid crow]

btw, is there a way to take ownership and/or overwrite an atlas?

this surely isn't the right way, but it's the only one I could make work

    SMODS.Atlases['casl_sleeve_atlas'] = nil
    G.ASSET_ATLAS['casl_sleeve_atlas'] = nil
    SMODS.Atlas{ key = 'casl_sleeve_atlas', px = 73, py = 95, path = 'sleeves.png', prefix_config = false }

[wintry solar]

you just need the last line iirc

[faint yacht]

raw_key?

[wintry solar]

prefix config should be a table though, right?

I don't remember because I don't use it 🙃

[red flower]

i think false works

[tepid crow]

docs said it can just be set to false but who am I to trust the docs

[faint yacht]

-# But yeah, I have 0% idea what's up with my mod causing lag when a specific Joker is involved or how to do the enhancement sharing deck better...

-# Partially considered making my quantum enhancement optional feature a toggle so that the two items don't get initialized.

[tepid crow]

logs say this (and the textures indeed don't change); using raw_key instead or combined with prefix_config seems to do nothing

INFO - [G] 2025-08-27 00:24:28 :: WARN  :: Atlas :: Object casl_sleeve_atlas has the same key as an existing object, not registering.
INFO - [G] 2025-08-27 00:24:28 :: WARN  :: Atlas :: If you want to modify an existing object, use take_ownership()

an attempt with take_ownership

    SMODS.Atlas:take_ownership('casl_sleeve_atlas',
        {
            path = 'sleeves.png',
            mod = SMODS.current_mod
        }
    )

results in no changes to the textures

[zealous glen]

Not the same key. Same name

The key shouldn't be the same since mod infixes exist

[wintry solar]

I wonder if it's because it's a modded object?

[crystal perch]

rq question how would i make a joker emplace a copy of used spectral cards

[red flower]

well the problem is that consumable types dont have those

so if you have the same key it will be treated as the same

[zealous glen]

What controls the position of pop-up messages (e.g. when a Joker makes a card score)

[zealous glen]

but that's a bug for modded Consumeable Types

[faint yacht]

message_card?

[zealous glen]

No

That's which card has the pop-up message

[red flower]

yeah it might be too late to change without breaking stuff

[zealous glen]

not the position of the message relative to the card

[red flower]

just add the prefix yourself

[zealous glen]

I mean, different mods overwriting each other's Consumeable Types is already breaking stuff

[tepid crow]

just redefining a vanilla atlas sure works without issues yeah

[robust marsh]

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but I don't know how to properly use this

[zealous glen]

For example, the message displays below Jokers and above playing cards

[red flower]

same way as ghost deck

instead of spectral is your key in lowercase

[robust marsh]

AH alright

thank you

[wintry solar]

from what I remember, consumable types weren't prefixed because having to type your mod prefix in every situation where you need to reference the type would be a massive pain so people just need to use unique keys

[red flower]

i just prefix them

[zealous glen]

the seven billion Zodiac mods:

[zealous glen]

Thanks

[wintry solar]

yeah I prefix mine too

[faint yacht]

🤷 So I'm not sure what to do with the QE stuff.

[minor magnet]

stone card not updating front after changing enhancement

how do i fix this

the number on the card does not update

it stays blank

[wintry solar]

QE are just jank and make the game lag, I don't think there's much you can do about it

[rotund sable]

I love my consumables to have other mods label because my name wasn't unique enough

[faint yacht]

...I'd at least think others using QE are less laggy than mine...

[wintry solar]

do you have any optional card areas turned on by chance?

[faint yacht]

togabalatro.optional_features = function()
    return {
        cardareas = { deck = true, discard = true },
        retrigger_joker = true,
        quantum_enhancements = true
    }
end

Yes.

[next timber]

do the new probability functions automatically apply probabilities.normal?

[zealous glen]

how does this look?

I made it apply to the three Shop CardAreas

I can PR it to SMODS
-# tomorrow

[frosty rampart]

yes

[next timber]

awesome

[frosty rampart]

deck in tandem with quantum enhancements is probably causing a big chunk of the lag i think

[wintry solar]

try turning the deck off and testing it again

[robust marsh]

I've tried doing this, didn't seem to work. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

[faint yacht]

Commenting out cardareas = { deck = true, discard = true }, reduced the lag, sure.

I'll probably rework the only Joker that checks for context.cardarea being G.deck or G.hand, then.

[crystal perch]

bump

[daring fern]

if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Spectral" then
    local copy = copy_card(context.consumeable)
    copy:add_to_deck()
    G.consumeables:emplace(copy)
end

[crystal perch]

thank you

i think what i was missing was i was using card instead of context.card

[crystal perch]

this solution actually doesn't work and returns this crash :/

[red flower]

it's context.consumeable iirc

[crystal perch]

oh my mistake

that works

[crimson tapir]

does anyone know the opacity of the glass joker

[crimson dune]

I am trying to create an info-queue styled (aka detailed_tooltip) hover-on-HUD for my "overshoot" UI thing, but so far, the best I can do is a modified version of the poker hand HUD (tooltip).
To try to allow this tooltip appearance and possibly formatting, I tried to reverse engineer the generate_card_ui to only obtain the necessary elements for the UI, but doesnt work out so far (results in a crash).

function create_UIBox_detailed_tooltip_fake_unik(tooltip)
    local full_UI_table = {
        main = {},
        info = {},
        type = {},
        name = 'done',
        badges = badges or {}
    }
    local desc_nodes = (not full_UI_table.name and full_UI_table.main) or full_UI_table.info
    if full_UI_table.name then
        full_UI_table.info[#full_UI_table.info+1] = {}
        desc_nodes = full_UI_table.info[#full_UI_table.info]
    end
    localize{type = 'MiscDesc', key = tooltip.key, nodes = desc_nodes}
    
    
    full_UI_table.name = localize{type = 'name', set = tooltip.set, key = tooltip.key, nodes = full_UI_table.name}
    if full_UI_table.name then
        full_UI_table.info[#full_UI_table.info+1] = {}
        desc_nodes = full_UI_table.info[#full_UI_table.info]
    end
    localize{type = 'MiscDesc', key = tooltip.key, nodes = desc_nodes}
    local desc = full_UI_table
    return {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config={align = "cm", colour = G.C.CLEAR}, nodes={
      {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", colour = lighten(G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.5), r = 0.1, padding = 0.05, emboss = 0.05}, nodes={
        info_tip_from_rows(desc.info[1], desc.info[1].name),
      }}
    }}
  end

I'd also tried reverse engineering/copying aiko's descriptiondummies, but it didnt work out
and the closest suggestion was trying to look into yggdrasil's code, but didn't have much clue

UI in question: #⚙・modding-general message

and part of the UI code as well:

hover = true, 
can_collide = true,
id = 'unik_overshoot_desc',
unik_fake_tooltip = {text = localize("overshoot_unik_" .. G.GAME.OvershootFXVal)},

does anyone know the opacity of the glass joker

[elfin hull]

Anyone willing to help me out a bit? Someone pointed out my mod may need to be updated and my PC shit itself a while ago. Anyone know how to fix? Been a while

[jolly shadow]

lol

its compatible with bmm already

[faint yacht]

...well, now we wait for Talisman to update to handle SMODS.scale_card?

[elfin hull]

I dunno. Similar question with Sonic X mod I made a while ago. I may look into this.

[thick drift]

so I finally got back to working on my mod and I'm still struggling with the same issue regarding context.post_trigger

it seems like the code is never being read which leads me to believe the problem is either context.card_area = G.jokers or not context.blueprint

but I feel like neither of those should be issues, so idk if it's a bug or I'm misunderstanding something about the game

(all of these are passed through the and operator in a calculate function)

[lament agate]

is it possible to add perma repetitions now with the 0827

[red flower]

yes

[lament agate]

sweet

im using all of the new features

[red flower]

it's cardarea

also i don't think you need the area check at all

[frosty rampart]

let the numberslop begin

[twilit tundra]

where glop

[faint yacht]

...huh, how do I adapt this for SMODS.scale_card...

if context.using_consumeable and not context.blueprint then
  card.ability.extra.curchips = (G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.all or 0) * card.ability.extra.bonuschips
end

[high verge]

    key = 'helluvaquipsL1',
    type = 'loss',
    extra = { center = c_star },
    loc_txt = { ['en-us'] = { "Fuck!", } }
}```

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the new JimboQuips feature? It's telling me it has a nil value for the quip.

[frosty rampart]

very balanced :3 (obviously this won't be a real joker)

[faint yacht]

-# operation function to rescue---

[wintry solar]

SMODS.scale_card(card, {
  ref_table = card.ability.extra,
  ref_value = "curchips",
  scalar_value = "bonuschips",
  operation = function(ref_table, ref_value, initial, change)
    ref_table[ref_value] = initial + (G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total and G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.all or 0)*change
end
})```

Like this

[faint yacht]

The message doesn't reflect the new card.ability.extra.curchips value... and the initial value in operation is not of use to me due to the Joker scaling regardless if owned or not.

[wintry solar]

Give it a custom message too
I left the initial bit in my mistake, apologies

[faint yacht]

The message uses the pre-scaled value... do I also need to change the vars to include the change itself?

scaling_message = {message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_chips', vars = { card.ability.extra.curchips } }, colour = G.C.CHIPS }

[wintry solar]

You’d put the calculated value in there, but this isn’t really a scaling joker tbh

[faint yacht]

...yeah, isn't...

[wintry solar]

It’s just passive based on a value

[harsh belfry]

+15 chips when consumable used vs 15 chips for every consumable used

[faint yacht]

Now, I have a different one that uses either 3xvalue or value by itself conditionally when scaling.

for k, v in ipairs(context.removed) do
    if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then
        SMODS.scale_card(pcard, {
            ref_table = card.ability.extra,
            ref_value = "xchip_mod",
            scalar_value = "xchip_increase",
            no_message = true,
            operation = function(ref_table, ref_value, initial, change)
                ref_table[ref_value] = initial + 3*change
            end,
        })
    else
        SMODS.scale_card(pcard, {
            ref_table = card.ability.extra,
            ref_value = "xchip_mod",
            scalar_value = "xchip_increase",
            no_message = true,
        })
    end
end

...I'd just rather not invoke the "Upgrade!" message per card destroyed like before the change to a singular one.

[wintry solar]

Do you categorise this as one scaling event or a scaling event per card destroyed?

[faint yacht]

Per-card, but I'd rather not spam messages.

[clear ocean]

If Balatro was written by VivziePop

[wintry solar]

That all looks fine then apart from the bottom one should have operation = "X"

[clear ocean]

Also, this is anew feature only for dev

[frosty rampart]

the new smods update is out

[harsh belfry]

fr

[faint yacht]

...why? I want to add 0.05 to current XChips, not multiply by that value.

[wintry solar]

Oh wording is funky I guess

[high verge]

That's the goal if I can get it to work xD

[wintry solar]

I misinterpreted

[high verge]

Any clue what I'm doing wrong?

[faint yacht]

if context.remove_playing_cards then
    for k, v in ipairs(context.removed) do
        if v.config.center ~= G.P_CENTERS.c_base then
            -- Add 3x0.05.
            SMODS.scale_card(pcard, {
                ref_table = card.ability.extra,
                ref_value = "xchip_mod",
                scalar_value = "xchip_increase",
                no_message = true,
                operation = function(ref_table, ref_value, initial, change)
                    ref_table[ref_value] = initial + 3*change
                end,
            })
        else
            -- Add 0.05.
            SMODS.scale_card(pcard, {
                ref_table = card.ability.extra,
                ref_value = "xchip_mod",
                scalar_value = "xchip_increase",
                no_message = true,
            })
        end
    end
end

[unkempt thicket]

Whats the use case for scale_card?

-# whats its purpose

[faint yacht]

Easier detection and manipulation of scaling Jokers.

[harsh belfry]

the one million calls to cryptids scaling function:

[wintry solar]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

Look in here

[unkempt thicket]

So i should edit the cards that change their own values with said function?

[faint yacht]

It's an opt-in feature, but yeah, go read that discussion post.

[unkempt thicket]

Reading all that, theres a lot of changes ill have to make.

[versed swan]

oh, you can use scale_card over stuff that resembles card.thing = card.thing + card.delta?

[frosty rampart]

yea

[versed swan]

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

very interesting

[frosty rampart]

and by using scale_card, it allows other modded content to detect when (and even modify how) your card is scaling

[unkempt thicket]

I did need to do that for a joker

[wintry solar]

I don’t think you necessarily have to change anything, it’s all just optional/ease of use stuff really

[unkempt thicket]

There is the code i have conflicts

And the optional ones will be usefull for some jokers i have to do

[faint yacht]

God...

card.ability.extra.Xmult_current = card.ability.extra.Xmult_current + (context.ending_shop and card.ability.extra.add_shop*8 or context.playing_card_added and context.cards and #context.cards and card.ability.extra.add_shop*#context.cards or card.ability.extra.add_shop)

[frosty rampart]

Nothing Ever Happens joker: all scaling jokers no longer scale, prevent the next change in ante, self destructs

[clear ocean]

What really? Let’s go

[knotty steppe]

how do i make it so a joker triggers its effect more then once with it visably triggering in game?

[charred widget]

Hi friends! I have an issue that needs fixing

wait hold on

nevermind i fixed it

[manic rune]

so like retriggering jokers?

[knotty steppe]

kinda? i want the joker to retirgger itself without doing so infittly

[manic rune]

if context.retrigger_joker_check and context.other_card == card then
  repeat{
    repetitions = 1
  }
end

prob smt like that

[knotty steppe]

where would i add this?

[manic rune]

in your calculate function

it would retrigger itself once

[knotty steppe]

at the very top of the function

[manic rune]

the order shouldnt matter

[charred widget]

nevermind again hold on

my yveltal.lua file now has a nil value where its mult should be. how can we fix this?

[knotty steppe]

the game crashed with unexpected symbol near { line 33

[manic rune]

download lua extension

[charred widget]

me?

[manic rune]

no, @knotty steppe

[charred widget]

oh

[manic rune]

also u dont need the display_size parameter 😭

its 71 95 by default already

[charred widget]

well that wasnt me that was just what joker forge generated the file with

[charred widget]

ok so what do i do here

[manic rune]

add x_mult_inc = 0.1 in config = { extra = {...

[charred widget]

ah

[knotty steppe]

ok.,..

now what

[manic rune]

restart your vsc

it should underline where you got the syntaxing wrong

[knotty steppe]

it says a if is missing a corrisponding end

but its right there

[obtuse wraith]

What's the issue?

[faint yacht]

Talisman needs to be updated for latest stable.

[obtuse wraith]

oh. thanks.

[harsh belfry]

is talisman updated for latest smods? (the scale_card changes)

[gilded goblet]

Twin, you need to close the function with end, you're only closing the if statement rn

[knotty steppe]

there is more down the line

[harsh belfry]

bro put repeat

[gilded goblet]

Could you share it?

[knotty steppe]

dont roast it too hard its my first

[harsh belfry]

bro put repeat

[knotty steppe]

lemmie put the file not rhe whole thing

[harsh belfry]

you put repeat

[knotty steppe]

yea?

[harsh belfry]

i think that is supposed to be return

[knotty steppe]

it wokrs thx

[twilit tundra]

what

why did that get blocked

hmm today i will make a balatro mod

github randomly deciding to screw me over:
remote: Invalid username or token. Password authentication is not supported for Git operations.
ouggghh not this again

[knotty steppe]

it works but now there is a long pause before it rins

is it because i told it to run 500 times

[harsh belfry]

hmm perhaps

[knotty steppe]

why does it pause

[twilit tundra]

how do i fix this again i know i've done this token stuff before but i do not remember how

[knotty steppe]

i knwo its becuase the number is 500
but why does bigger number make pause

[harsh belfry]

calculating

[knotty steppe]

but the calculationg screen is only up for a split second

[harsh belfry]

dunno then

[wet crag]

the background is placeholder until i muster the strength to make my own cool space pixel art, all credit to the absolute beasts who made lost edition

[gilded goblet]

It's because it usually takes some amount of time for bigger calculations
I don't know the specifics but yeah

[gilded goblet]

I love your jokers

[wet crag]

thank you thats so kind wtf

[gilded goblet]

Like seriously, there's not one joker I've seen from you where I've been like "that's silly..." or "I don't know about that..."

[wet crag]

:,D

[twilit tundra]

bumping again i just want to code stuff not deal with github being dumb and bad

[obtuse wraith]

There's another, even with the latest Tailman installed.

Someone ping me if you find what it is.

[gaunt folio]

what swrong with my code to be causing this? I have talisman enabled if thats the issue

might have to update it though

[red flower]

yeah it's talisman

im assuming because you return a value based on the current chips

[obtuse wraith]

I remember hovering something before it crashed.

It like had an edition.

[red flower]

is this from your mod

[obtuse wraith]

I didn't make any of these mods.

[red flower]

then #⚙・modding-general

[obtuse wraith]

Gotcha.

[faint yacht]

Talisman's up to 2.3.4 rn.

[gaunt folio]

yep issue was fixed

i had an older version

[manic rune]

how do i have the button rendering behind the card......

i have it rendering the same as .children.use_button and you can see that its behind the card (SELECT)

[red flower]

do it in the drawstep

[manic rune]

wuh

fuck

i havent used drawstep before 3:

[modern kindle]

time to learn and become even stronger

[red flower]

there's a drawstep for buttons that replaces that

i use the same priority here to draw my button
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/eaa54d065b5ab61f809615ed006709c6aff40233/src/states.lua#L415

[manic rune]

this?

[red flower]

yes

[manic rune]

wtf.................

i thought its only for tags

sob

thanks

[faint yacht]

-# ...how safe is playing a sound on a crash screen, anyway... 🤔

[red flower]

i figured this out a couple of days ago lol

[manic rune]

smt like this, right?

[red flower]

sounds right

[manic rune]

actually idfk why i added the not not

[red flower]

dunno

i don't think it can be another type

[gilded goblet]

Any specific purpose in mind?

Just curious

[faint yacht]

Just a "what if" thought.

[gilded goblet]

LMFAO

That'd wake someone up

[faint yacht]

Though the current implementation works only if you crashed after initialization.

[daring fern]

‎

[clear ocean]

How are you able to add that sound effect

[faint yacht]

That video in particular uses play_sound(sfxkey)... but I am gonna use NFS instead.

[manic rune]

could be because of multiple draw functions? idk ive seen you using that a lot recently

[daring fern]

No, I removed all the SMODS.DrawSteps I added, and it still lags.

[manic rune]

hmmmmm

dunno, only the devs should know where their mod can potentially lag 3:

[faint yacht]

the local crashdata = love.filesystem.newFileData((togabalatro.nfs or nfs).read(togabalatro.path.."/assets/sounds/macperforma5400.ogg"))

[fallow urchin]

has anyone had an issue with jokers seemingly randomly no longer loading into the game? I've got this joker which has worked fine, and nothing has changed on it looking at my old commits but it is no longer showing up in game.

is there something I could've written in another joker that is causing it not to load?

[daring fern]

Do you have another joker with the key thrifty_joker?

[fallow urchin]

vscode search shows no other occurence of that string

[daring fern]

I updated my mods and the problem seemed to fix itself.

[fallow urchin]

hmm testing adding another joker that is a duplicate of an existing working joker with a new key & name it doesn't appear, it looks like I just can't load more than 24 jokers

but adding bugged code into thrifty_joker or the duplicated joker causes the game to crash?? i am so confused

found it, was a duplicate key no idea what with

[shy wind]

Hey I remeber someone here posted tutorials for how to do designs for cards with templates included but I can't find it, does someone have it? I kinda want to have my own custom facecards and jokers

[daring fern]

‎

[faint yacht]

...well damn, how do I access the global hand_chips and mult from here then...

SMODS.scale_card(card, {
    ref_table = card.ability.extra,
    ref_value = "chips",
    scalar_value = "hand_chips",
    scalar_table = "_G",
    operation = function(ref_table, ref_value, initial, change)
        ref_table[ref_value] = initial + change
    end,
    no_message = true
})

[versed swan]

isn't scalar_table supposed to be type table?

[faint yacht]

-# oops.

[versed swan]

it happens to the best of us lol

[faint yacht]

To be fair, it's like 7:29 AM and I've yet to go to bed, basically almost done converting all the scaling I use to SMODS.scale_card...

[charred widget]

hello friends I have a couple things I'd like to discuss and hopefully fix

first of all

the joker I'm testing, Dialga, is supposed to take you back one ante if you defeat a boss blind with it in the leftmost joker position

and it does go back one ante

but the game immediately puts me forward another ante

how can i prevent this

[daring fern]

Go back 2 antes?

[charred widget]

how did i not think of this

[faint yacht]

Or, with new contexts...

if context.modify_ante and context.ante_end then return { modify = -1 } end

?

[frosty rampart]

can you do that?

i don't think you can do that, context.ante_change runs after the ante actually changes

[faint yacht]

-# Just thinking, I've yet to use such contexts, but I am too tired to experiment currently with 'em as I'm prepping an update.

[exotic flower]

hi i just started modding and my game crashes as soon as the deck is rolled out
https://hastebin.com/share/hicocahazu.yaml

its only 4 mods and i only downloaded stuff that the github for the main overhaul said was compatible

[daring fern]

Also why are you using a function to check the position instead of just doing if G.jokers.cards[1] == card

[charred widget]

i didnt code it, i just generated it using jokerforge

also something weird happened while i was testing it

i used Deck Creator to get a deck with Dialga in it to playtest it

but it ended up giving me some... interesting shop choices

for some reason Jimbo just kept showing up

[daring fern]

You should be using DebugPlus

[charred widget]

alright

wait what is that

[daring fern]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

[charred widget]

alright thanks

[exotic flower]

disabled everythng but maximus and its causing the crash all on its own

whats "quip"

[pastel kernel]

So I know how to make a deck, how do I make it so that all playing cards are aces?

[mystic river]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/745

[daring fern]

apply = function(self, back)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            if not G.playing_cards then return false end
            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                SMODS.change_base(v, nil, "Ace")
            end
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[mystic river]

i assume

[charred widget]

alright folks, i think i figured out what is wrong with my mod.

so in jokerforge i undid all the ways that my jokers could appear in the shop. they can't be found in the shop, buffoon packs, or judgement.

HOWEVER, It may have removed them from the pool of jokers available, but they haven't exactly removed them from the instances in which they were supposed to appear

so it puts them in the shop, the packs, and in judgement, but THEN it reminds itself that it can't, and just replaces them with Jimbo.

so how the hell do i fix this

[daring fern]

in_pool = function() return false end?

[charred widget]

i found how the hell i fix this

jokerforge just reset the rarity weight to 1

for some reason

even though i put it to zero

so i set it back to zero so now they shouldn't appera

ok new problem

so what I intended to happen was for Arceus to destroy Giratina after the end of the shop

but that doesn't happen

[daring fern]

Yes, you need your mod prefix.

[charred widget]

my mod prefix is "legendar". does it include the "j" in the beginning?

[daring fern]

It would be j_modprefix_key

[charred widget]

cool thanks

[charred widget]

alright something new happened

well its not new

yveltal is still displaying nil mult in its description even though (I think) i fixed it

[shut monolith]

I'm very new to modding, can someone help me out on how make a mod to change pre-existing code (For example, the code responsible for what boss blinds do)?

[pastel kernel]

SMODS.Back {
    key = "truekinda",
    atlas = "atlas_truekinda",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config =  {},
    loc_txt = {
        name = "True Kinda Deck",
        text = {"Start with {C:hearts,E:1}Spinel{} and {X:hearts,C:clubs,E:1}Gar{X:clubs,C:hearts,E:1}net{}",
        "And a deck of 52 Ace Cards consisting of only the {C:hearts}Hearts{} and {C:clubs}Clubs{} suits."}

    },
    apply = function(self, back)
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            if not G.playing_cards then return false end
            for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                SMODS.change_base(v, nil, "Ace")
                end
                if v.base.suit == 'Spades' then
                    v:change_suit('Clubs')
                end
                if v.base.suit == 'Diamonds' then
                    v:change_suit('Hearts')
                end
            
            return true
        end
    }))
end
-- I feel like there should be a loc_vars here somewhere.
}```

what do i do with the loc_vars

[daring fern]

No, you don't need a loc_vars

[wet crag]

Sorry, just a quick question; any way I can make it so a Joker has no text box in the UI?

[daring fern]

You mean no description?

[wet crag]

yeah,

[pastel kernel]

i can't copy the error log for some reason

[wet crag]

I want to get rid of the white part here so it's just the Joker name and badge.

[daring fern]

You would probably hook generate_card_ui and do something with full_UI_table.main

[pastel kernel]

items/deck.lua:36 "attempt to index global 'v' (a nil value)"

this is line 36: if v.base.suit == 'Spades' then

[wet crag]

Thanks, I'll take a look at the docs!

[daring fern]

Yes, those checks are outside the loop.

[pastel kernel]

so do i put the change_suit inside the change_base?

[daring fern]

No, you move the for loops end to after the last if

[pastel kernel]

oh

i see

so

i didn't know i actually did it

so what happened is that

they're all in a for loop

[robust marsh]

I'm still trying to edit my consumabletype's shop_rate for a specific deck and i'm failing quite miserably. From what I've seen it's pretty simple but I'm most definitely doing everything wrong

[daring fern]

In apply you would do G.GAME.key_rate = number

[robust marsh]

consumabletypes also require a prefix? From what I've been told just the base key is enough

alrighty

Yeah that worked, thank you a lot!!!

[gleaming crescent]

How do I make multiline mod description without this white background thing?

[robust marsh]

I've already asked this before but how do i tie a joker to another one's existence? So if the main one gets sold the linked jokers get removed automatically.

[wintry solar]

Destroy it in remove_from_deck

[lament agate]

what does ante_end detects

[daring fern]

It's when the ante is changed when the ante ends.

[robust marsh]

alrighty

[languid canopy]

hello there, this joker crashes the game when i play a hand after its gain Xchips effect has been triggered, is there a way that i can fix it ? (ping me pls)

[lament agate]

thanks

is it context.other_card.ability.perma_retrigger

[daring fern]

No, it's card.ability.perma_repetitions

[lament agate]

thanks

[red cradle]

how can i get key of a random owned voucher?

[red cradle]

doesnt work

or i used it incorrect...

if i replace it with "v_blank", it works

[mystic river]

G.GAME.used_vouchers is a map, not a list, so you want

local _, voucher = pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.used_vouchers, 'seed')

[red cradle]

it work, thanks ❤️

[mystic river]

using tools like debug plus to check what the code is actually doing at any given moment is a vital programming skill

[pastel kernel]

How do you chance the font color of the rarity badge

FONT color btw

[cursive gazelle]

Wdym font color

[pastel kernel]

Text color

[cursive gazelle]

Text color ?

Oh

[pastel kernel]

Font refers to the text style I believe

[cursive gazelle]

There’s an SMODS.font

That’s why

[pastel kernel]

Can you just tell me how to change the rarity badge text color

TEXT color, not BADGE color

[lament agate]

how do you check if a card has no enhancement

[daring fern]

if not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card))

[lament agate]

thanks

[lament agate]

does this look right

[daring fern]

No, it would be if not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(context.other_card))

[manic rune]

wheres the code that creates the buy button when the card is highlighted in shop?

[daring fern]

G.UIDEF.card_focus_button

[manic rune]

o

thank

[long sun]

how do you check if the played hand contains another, again?

[daring fern]

Another what?

[lament agate]

    config = { extra = { mario = 1, numerator = 1, denominator = 3 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = { card.ability.extra.mario, card.ability.extra.numerator, card.ability.extra.denominator }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            if not next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card)) and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'meth', card.ability.extra.numerator, card.ability.extra.denominator) then
                context.other_card.ability.perma_repetitions = (context.other_card.ability.perma_repetitions or 0) +
                    card.ability.extra.mario
                play_sound('tngt_hellomario', 1.2)
                card:juice_up(0.5, 0.5)
                return {
                    message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                    card = card
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

any ideas why this isnt working

[long sun]

another hand

i'd like to check if it contains a 4oak

[red flower]

next(context.poker_hands["name"])

[daring fern]

if next(context.poker_hands["Four of a Kind"])

[long sun]

schweet, thanks :D

and you're positive that would also trigger if a 5oak is played, eg.?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[long sun]

smashing, thanks ^u^

[red flower]

it should be context.other_card in get_enhancements

[lament agate]

so like

[red flower]

you can write all your thoughts in one message

[lament agate]

context.other_card and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'meth', card.ability.extra.numerator, card.ability.extra.denominator) then

?

[red flower]

no

inside get_enhancements instead of card

[lament agate]

oh okay

also the probabilities doesnt change by 6s

althought i already defined the num and den

[daring fern]

Yes, you're not using SMODS.get_probability_vars in loc_vars

[lament agate]

example being?

[rapid stag]

local numerator, denumerator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card or self, 1, yourOddsVariableHere, 'your seed here')```

[lament agate]

OHHH okay

[lament agate]

wait where do i put this

[rapid stag]

in loc_vars

[gaunt folio]

This is definitely very unbalanced in late blinds but I might nerf it to decrease by 2

Might rework it to percentage though instead of fractions

[slim ferry]

does context.mod_probability have context.other_card or an equivalent to it?

[red flower]

context.trigger_obj

iirc

[twilit tundra]

asking this once more how the fuck do i do the token thing i still cant figure it out even when i generate a token with github it still doesnt accept it

[primal robin]

Salty ghost, how your hotpot thing going?

[faint yacht]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29297154/github-invalid-username-or-password

[twilit tundra]

i paste in the token for the password and it just gives the same exact error :(

tried this before too

both when i have the extra couple characters at the beginning and when i dont

is there something else i'm missing?

absolutely nothing i can figure out about what i'm doing wrong

i've tried doing ssh stuff too but it kept completely failing horribly

[faint yacht]

Then something may be up with your config entirely... assuming you've attempted generating fresh SSH keys and such? https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/reviewing-your-ssh-keys

[twilit tundra]

yeah ive tried, also didnt work

okay so how do i unfuck my config then

and which config do i unfuck

[wild patrol]

So I did some trickery to the exe of balatro to load smod on this console without lovely injector

Wanted to get cryptid mod working

But couldn't get tailsman to load

Kept giving an calculation error

[red flower]

talisman is a lovely mod

[next timber]

how come my edition's dynamic text doesn't show when it's actually on a card?

[red flower]

i think that's a bug with editions

[next timber]

is there any way to fix it or am i a little Fucked

[red flower]

I think @chrome widget had this issue?

[twilit tundra]

got 0 clue

i just want to make my mod already :(

[gilded blaze]

info_queue is wonky

I don't think it even supports main_start and main_end

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[red flower]

it does

[gilded blaze]

uh, then no idea what's wrong with main_start above

[wild patrol]

if I could figure this out

[red flower]

like i said i think it's a problem with editions specifically

[wild patrol]

I could get cryptid mod to load on the device

[red flower]

yeah that's because the talisman patches are not loaded

[carmine kiln]

How can you duplicate a playing Card in a deck?

[faint yacht]

copy_card.

[wild patrol]

managned to get the patches load but game just opens and closes

rip

I've managed to get the exe of balatro to load smod without the need of lovely injector

which is a good start

[twilit tundra]

wait do i need to like. give the token more perms because its a private project or something?

not sure what permission thatd be though but it probably has things to do with how the project is private

since its failing at a git clone

[chrome widget]

The generate_ui code for tooltips specifically doesn't support this kind of thing. I had to add support for that myself AFAIK

Use this patch:

[median veldt]

sorry for actually horrible "screenshot" i dont have access to discord on my laptop rn

how does one make this so you have to select a joker rather than a card
cuz consumables kinda go over my head and i dont think theres anything from vremade i can look at

taking a picture of my screen hurts i promise it wont happen again

[daring fern]

Change G.hand to G.jokers

[median veldt]

if i add a sticker to a joker do i have to manually write code to do any animation or effect or does it just do it when adding stickers

[scarlet lion]

hi guys 👋

[daring fern]

Yes, adding a sticker just puts the sticker on the card.

[chrome widget]

Sorry for the ping want to make sure my reply to this doesn't get lost

[next timber]

nw, thanks for the patch

[sonic cedar]

i have this effect that's supposed to trigger on blind start when it's the only joker, but it doesnt trigger if the ceremonial-esque has destroyed a joker before

despite it visually being the only joker there

Does ceremonial effect leave behind ghosts?

[red flower]

if something destroys another card when blind is selected it will probably destroy it in an event so it will not register as destroyed until after the context is calculated

you need to also check if card.getting_sliced is not true

[modern kindle]

do you guys happen to know how packs decrement their selections? ie when you hit use on a consumable in a select 1 of 2?

ive added a button to one card and it seems to ignore that

[sonic cedar]

but it doesnt trigger even in the blind after

[daring fern]

Yes, it happens in G.FUNCS.use_card

[modern kindle]

Awesome thanks

[red flower]

how are you checking

[sonic cedar]

also hi somecom how are you today

[red flower]

not me???

wow

[modern kindle]

Hi N

[red flower]

hii dilly

[sonic cedar]

it's sending
wifi is slow down here

[chrome widget]

Hi Winter

[sonic cedar]

hi N

[red flower]

i just got mcdonalds ice cream

[chrome widget]

I could go for a chocolate brownie blast from the local Sonic Drive-In

[modern kindle]

Hello goddess of the northern mountains, feller of legions
Commander of this realm

[chrome widget]

What legions am I felling?

[sonic cedar]

ok man

[modern kindle]

all who oppose you

[sonic cedar]

hi winter do you need one to oppose where do i sign

[chrome widget]

Oh I thought the Burning Legion was invading again

[crystal perch]

how can i make a voucher detect whenever a joker is destroyed then add its key to the G.GAME.chak.banned_run_keys[v.key] var

[sonic cedar]

@red flower no idea if the reply notif happened because internet so here

[crystal perch]

actually just how can i make a voucher detect whenever a joker is destroyed then get that joker's key

[red flower]

i read everything anyway

[candid sleet]

how would i change this so it doesn't prevent every grass card from gaining 0.1x when one reaches 1.5x?

[sonic cedar]

oh ok

[red flower]

vouchers have calculate afaik

[chrome widget]

Anyway I'm the artistttttttt rn

[crystal perch]

swaq

[red flower]

good luck with the artisting winter

[red flower]

why do you do this in a loop

[sonic cedar]

good luck winter

[ripe jacinth]

hi diddy

[sonic cedar]

its in the blind context

[modern kindle]

@manic rune its you all over again

[red flower]

but if you're checking if there's only one joker you dont need a loop

[sonic cedar]

?

wdym

[chrome widget]

Here's some art I've made recently

[red flower]

ok what did you show me lol
I was asking how are you checking if it's the only joker

[red flower]

amazing

[sturdy compass]

This some heat

[ripe jacinth]

is that a fucking jojo reference

[sonic cedar]

the for loop yeah
goes through checks if the number of jokers is 1 and that joker is this card

[ripe jacinth]

in the year of the lord 2025???

[chrome widget]

I'm making a JoJo mod

[red flower]

ok then if the number is one the loop will only do one iteration

[chrome widget]

So..... like yeah

[red flower]

so you dont need a loop

[modern kindle]

yea winter has made a flames mod

ive played a wee tiny bit of it so far cause life has distracted me

[sonic cedar]

so how would that format

[red flower]

if #G.jokers.cards == 1 then

if the joker is calculating then it's there so you dont need a check for it

but you can add G.jokers.cards[1] == card

[sonic cedar]

i seee

[chrome widget]

Special attention to Prideful Jokestar cause of the fizzling neon sign effect

[manic rune]

😭

[manic rune]

is it me or the background of this card is really bright

can u teach me how to get good at art

3:

[chrome widget]

Most everything I do involves a lot of stealing and a lot of trial and error

[red flower]

now to check if any card is going to be destroyed then you do need a loop

local count = 0
for _, joker in ipairs(G.joker.cards) do
    if not joker.getting_sliced then
        count = count + 1
    end
end

[chrome widget]

I don't actually consider myself a good artist or even an artist at all

I Make Art but those are kinda different things IMO

[red flower]

i want to get better at Art

[sonic cedar]

same
i feel like mine's just
ight

[red flower]

mine is bad ugly bad terrible

[sonic cedar]

well destruction works fine
its just supposed to transform when it's the only guy, which works great if it hasnt previously destroyed the joker beside it

[red flower]

yes that should fix that

probably

[chrome widget]

I also have some decent non-Balatro illustrations that I've made (some of it explicit unfortunately so I can't publicly share it). I mostly just like drawing cool clothes

[sonic cedar]

nice

[sonic cedar]

my dms are open

[modern kindle]

woah explicit material

[chrome widget]

I mean sure if you want, assuming you're an adult

[sonic cedar]

i am
20

going on 93

[chrome widget]

Horrible

[sonic cedar]

my bones are killing me

[chrome widget]

Hope you become a centenarian

[sonic cedar]

this is my third vessel im cooked

[manic rune]

sadly im not an adult yet

[sonic cedar]

im waiting for my pay before i get you anything

[manic rune]

what the

help

[red flower]

dilly get yourself a tag

[sonic cedar]

doctored

[red flower]

tagless

[candid sleet]

i'm tryna make a trigger for this enhancement to send to another joker for when the mult on this enhancement goes up but it's getting triggered every time a card with the enhancement is played regardless of being in boss blind or not

[modern kindle]

i dont know what tag to use

[sonic cedar]

are you resetting the flag

[crystal perch]

any way that i can make it so jokers within the table G.GAME.chak.banned_run_keys[] render with a sticker/overlay when you view them in the collection

[candid sleet]

not entirely sure what you mean by this so probably not

[chrome widget]

I had to dig around for one of my better digital pieces since I couldn't find it on my phone. This is also the character design used for this card in my mod

[crystal perch]

very cool shader

[chrome widget]

Thanks

[candid sleet]

don't think so, what do i need to do for this?

[red flower]

set grass trigger to nil after the hand is played

[candid sleet]

ah yeah that fixed it thanks so much

[modern kindle]

alright ive successfully done what i needed for packs and shit thanks @daring fern for your help again

just had to go to da dump and find it

[red flower]

alright time to add the smods changes to vanillaremade

and then joyousspring

[thorn pumice]

how should i trace a crash that is just instantly closing the game? no crash screen lol

[chrome widget]

Typically means infinite loop

[thorn pumice]

i seeee

[chrome widget]

Not a lot of ways to run out of memory otherwise

Are you using quantum enhancements for something?

[thorn pumice]

i am not

i have a few mods and my hand i'm playing doesn't really seem to be any different from what i've been playing for the last couple ante's

[wintry solar]

redownload smods and update talisman/cryptid

oh wait maybe I am misunderstanding your issue

[thorn pumice]

i am not using talisman or cryptid

[wintry solar]

you crash when playing cards?

[thorn pumice]

yes but this wasn't occuring just a moment ago with essentially the same hand

i think the only thing different might be the boss blind hmm

ah no it wasn't the boss blind

i guess i should manually figure out what the crash it? there's nothing in logs or i checked in the wrong place :c

[chrome widget]

If it only started happening a moment ago, what's the most recent code you changed?

[thorn pumice]

i haven't changed code in these mods, they are not mine

i just needed debugging help so i asked here

[chrome widget]

Oh, I see

[vast bough]

what are the shader keys for the default balatro shaders that i can use in the edition 'key' parameter

[daring fern]

foil, holo, polychrome, hologram, booster, debuff, voucher, negative, negative_shine

[sonic cedar]

Sorry I was in class but I’m glad you got it fixed

[vast bough]

ty

[candid sleet]

no worries thanks for your input!

[ocean sinew]

how to do effects at end of ante?

[cursive gazelle]

Check for end of round and boss blind

[frosty rampart]

woah

[ocean sinew]

that is new right

[frosty rampart]

yea https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

[cursive gazelle]

Lmaooo

[robust marsh]

how do I make SMODS.destroy_cards(SMODS.find_card('j_[prefix]_key')) bypass eternal stickers?

[red flower]

, true

to the arguments

[cursive gazelle]

Hey N

[red flower]

hi

[cursive gazelle]

Is there some SMODS.x that still needs documentations

[red flower]

dunno

SMODS.Font does

[cursive gazelle]

I’ll check myself

[cursive gazelle]

Still ?

Lol

[ocean sinew]

is there a way to set a rarity text color to a hex color?

[cursive gazelle]

There’s one for badge color

There’s surely a one for text

[robust marsh]

how would I handle that in this instance?

[cursive gazelle]

Add ,true

To the smods.destroy_cards

[robust marsh]

ah

AH alright

got it, thank you both

[next timber]

how does deck.cards work in challenge definition? i might be stupid but i dont quite get the control tables explanation

[cursive gazelle]

Just read the src

Also check vanilla remade wiki

[next timber]

what src

also i cant for the life of me find vanilla remade for some reason

[robust marsh]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[slim ferry]

where is a card's calc_dollar_bonus stored?

[chrome widget]

Wdym?

The dollar bonus is returned from it as a function

[slim ferry]

yeah

i want to know where that function is

[chrome widget]

Card:calculate_dollar_bonus(), with the SMODS custom function it calls being SMODS.Center:calc_dollar_bonus() if it's defined on the item

[slim ferry]

neither of these handle adding it to the cashout right? because i only need the number it returns

[chrome widget]

If you need the number it returns you just call it directly

[slim ferry]

alright nice

[chrome widget]

The actual round eval behavior is handled by eval_round() and a UI function I can't remember the exact name of thats something like add_round_eval_row(type)

[faint yacht]

...
add_round_eval_row({dollars = ret, bonus = true, name='joker'..i, pitch = pitch, card = _card})
...

[broken rivet]

trying to make a custom class but it seems like it failed to inject stuff, G.P_QUESTS was completely empty

anyone know what the issue might be

wait nvm

i never loaded the file containing the quest

😃

[drowsy acorn]

is there a way for me to reference the price of playing cards in the shop?

[willow scroll]

is it possible to dynamically change the cost of a consumableType ? (a.e cost of a card from this set goes up by 5 for every card bought from the set)

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[cursive gazelle]

There’s a mod that has this feature for a joker but i forgot what it is

Definitely possible

[willow scroll]

fair enough, but im asking if theres a simple method or smth im overlooking before i engage with jank

[twilit tundra]

hey is there a blank mod template somewhere?
pins dont have anything and id like a good place to start

[red flower]

hook set_cost

[willow scroll]

was already planning on doing that if there wasnt a method i overlooked, but thank you nonetheless

[red flower]

a blank mod template is an empty file :p
this might help https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#4-basic-mod

[frosty rampart]

well no a blank mod template is the framework of a json file :P

[red flower]

true

[twilit tundra]

"description": "This is my really cool balatro mod. It has XChips and Reverse Tarots."
😭

[frosty rampart]

"i'll have, uhh... xchips"
"how original"
"with reverse tarots"
"daring today, aren't we?"

[red flower]

i hate that images load half the time

[willow scroll]

oh no im 50% this its over

[uneven stream]

This might be a dumb question, but can i code mods in python?

[slim ferry]

does no_message in scale_card also override any custom messages?

[slim ferry]

no the game is in lua

[wintry solar]

yes

it wont play any message on your card

[slim ferry]

however i managed to mod the game from only python knowledge so it should be pretty doable with that imo

because lua is very similar

[limber blaze]

i should make this the entropy mod description instead

[slim ferry]

my mod has like 25% of this because it only has xchips if you have another mod that adds xchips so i think im not cooked

[uneven stream]

Ok, i want to do a discord presence bot that displays my jokers and the blind/ante i'm at, but this is going to be my first project ever, and i have no idea on how to start

[slim ferry]

idfk how discord rich presence works at all

or how discord presence works at all internally

[twilit tundra]

is there any "vanilla+" mod that doesn't have XChips 😭

[slim ferry]

extra credit i guess but that adds like zero new mechanics at all

so its pretty meh

[robust marsh]

is there a way to disable the negative shader?

specifically for one card/joker

[red flower]

is this fine or is it too confusing?

[limber blaze]

you dont need scaling message here do you

[wintry solar]

yeah you do

[limber blaze]

message_key = "a_mult" works doesnt it?

[wintry solar]

it's a custom value

[limber blaze]

or something like that

[slim ferry]

no because dagger is wierd

[limber blaze]

damn

[slim ferry]

and shows its new total value

[red flower]

i can also do this

[wintry solar]

you'd need it anyway because its 2 x cost

I think dagger is a bad example for how to use scaling

[limber blaze]

thats true i guess

yeah

i was gonna say that

[wintry solar]

it's one of the most complex effects

or rather, how to use scale_card

[red flower]

i would put it in every scaling card

[limber blaze]

it hits every mark for how things are usually not handled

[wintry solar]

oh this is for the actual code not the wiki

[red flower]

yeah

dagger is just the first one in scaling.toml :p

[wintry solar]

hmmm

[frosty dock]

:jimbo_spin:

[red flower]

hi aure!!

[limber blaze]

hello

[slim ferry]

how would i even do the food joker thing where they dont scale or show a message if the next scale would make the value be below 0/1 or something. if i just do the thing that the current vremade food jokers do it wouldnt account for the possibility of scaling modifications changing if it should be destroyed or not

[frosty dock]

hello modding people

[red flower]

i am in fact modding

lets go with this for now because it's easier and I'll change it if people dont like it

[willow scroll]

if i wanted to add a variable that persists during the current game could i just do G.GAME.[whatever] = [whatever]?

[red flower]

yes

[willow scroll]

yippie

[rotund sable]

guys don't forget to update your SMODS again

[slim ferry]

is creating a context as simple as just hooking a function and calling SMODS.calculate_context in it?

[wintry solar]

pretty much yeah

[slim ferry]

thats awesome actually

[frosty rampart]

there's a bit more work you have to do if you want to be able to return anything (and i'm not fully sure how that works, i just fucked around until it did what i wanted for my contexts), but yea if you don't need to return anything in the context it's that easy

[wintry solar]

that's not entirely true

all the standard calculation returns will be handled just fine

[frosty rampart]

oh right sorry, yea i was referring to custom returns (i set up contexts to modify dice rolls like you can modify probability, and trigger dice rerolls)

[slim ferry]

i imagine it has something to do with the return_table parameter in calculate_context but thats all im getting out of it

[frosty rampart]

iirc the documentation said there were maybe two different ways to do it but only the return_table parameter worked for me

[slim ferry]

theres documentation for it?

[frosty rampart]

I don't think it was a wiki page, possible I was just looking at the code or maybe some comments in the code

[slim ferry]

thats just for scoring returns though i imagine

[red flower]

nope

[slim ferry]

okay the return table is literally just returned from calculate_context apparently

thats good

[wintry solar]

yeah

if you search the code for flags = you'll find some uses of it

[final jewel]

what does that mean I just update steamodded

[frosty dock]

something in your lovely patches is out of order. did you delete the old steamodded before putting in the updated folder?

[final jewel]

yeah like everytime I update Steamodded

[frosty dock]

have you updated your other mods?

[final jewel]

yeah some

Its soo weird

[frosty dock]

might be that something broke from the smods update. Try removing mods to see what's failing and see if you can update it

[final jewel]

I update all of these mods

I'm pretty sure its not from Giga, All-In-Jest and Cryptid

[robust marsh]

This is my first time creating a custom edition, how do I make it so it just has no edition?

nvm got it

[twilit tundra]

does SMODS.find_card just look for the card at all?
or does it also check for whether the card is debuffed?

if you have the specified joker, but it's debuffed, would find_card return true, or false?

[vernal path]

try it and see

[cursive gazelle]

does balatro not support .mp3 files

[vernal path]

it supports oggs

use them (they are more efficient)

[cursive gazelle]

alright

[frosty rampart]

iirc it's just wav and ogg

[frosty dock]

according to smods docs, mp3 is supported but not recommended. iirc i copied that from the old sound docs which were made by Steamo + i never tested it myself. so no guarantee there

[red flower]

it does check, it has an argument to not check

[twilit tundra]

hm. i don't think i did adding a new hand right
(mousing over it just crashes the game)

[cursive gazelle]

i'm trying to load them with love but it doesn't work for some reason . i'll troubleshoot it more

[twilit tundra]

crashlog

did i fuck shit up with the hand def or with the lang?

[red flower]

that seems to be the localization

[next timber]

how do you make a deck start you with a specific joker?

[cursive gazelle]

did you read any deck docs

[next timber]

i may be stupid

let me. go read the docs

lmao

ok there's apply

[cursive gazelle]

there's also the magic deck example

[final jewel]

Idk how but removing PTA and doing CTRL+Z correct everything

[twilit tundra]

here's my default localization json's contents, what did i fuck up?

    descriptions = {
        misc = {
            poker_hands = {
                vtude_fullhome = 'Full Home'
            },
            poker_hand_descriptions = {
                vtude_fullhome = {
                    "5 cards with at least 3 different ranks of {C:attention}4{}, {C:attention}1{} or {C:attention}3{}",
                    "{C:inactive}(Must be enabled by an ability)"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

[red flower]

can i see the code for the poker hand

[clear ocean]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#what-are-optional-features curious question about the quantum_enhancements, is there a way to make a joker that enables it (and disables when removed or debuffed) and is it like where you can add several enhancements?

[twilit tundra]

hand itself probably doesn't work yet as i'm still actively working on it

    key = "vtude_fullhome",
    chips = 80,
    mult = 8,
    l_chips = 35,
    l_mult = 4,
    visible = true,
    example = {
        { 'S_4', true },
        { 'H_1', true },
        { 'D_1', true },
        { 'S_3', true },
        { 'C_3', true },
    },
    evaluate = function(hand)
        if #hand < 5 then
            return {}
        end
        if not SMODS.find_card("j_vtude_scratchedjoker") then
            return {}
        end
        local candidates = { [4] = {}, [1] = {}, [3] = {}}
        for _, card in ipairs(hand) do
            local id = card:get_id()
            if id == 4 or id == 1 or id == 3 then
                table.insert(candidates[id], card)
            end
        end
        local available_ranks = {}
        for rank, cards_list in pairs(candidates) do
            if #cards_list > 0 then
                table.insert(available_ranks, rank)
            end
        end
        local total_ranks = #available_ranks
        if total_ranks < 3 then
            return {}
        end
        return {hand}
    end
})```

[red flower]

is your prefix vtude

[twilit tundra]

yes

[red flower]

are you sure

[twilit tundra]

i am sure

it's whats in my json

my prefix is vtude

[red flower]

not relevant but it should be if not next(SMODS.find_card("j_vtude_scratchedjoker")) then

[twilit tundra]

(visible being true is also temporary for debugging the lang issue, as well)

[red flower]

what's the name of the file

[twilit tundra]

which file?

[red flower]

the one i replied to, the localization

[twilit tundra]

path for lang is /localization/default/en_us.lua

[red flower]

oh i didnt reply to that one lmao

[red flower]

that's wrong

[twilit tundra]

ah
what should it be?

[red flower]

it should be localization/en-us.lua

[twilit tundra]

hand still displays as “ERROR” and crashes when moused over

[vast bough]

has anybody got the .fs files for the shaders that balatro uses?

or is that just in the source code and i can look myself or what

[red flower]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

game files

[twilit tundra]

is the lang file itself malformed or something?

did i format it wrong

[red flower]

is it now in localization/en-us.lua

[vast bough]

for the first time ever i will have to go into balatro source code

[twilit tundra]

yeah it is

[red flower]

can you take a screenshot of the file structure

[cursive gazelle]

i yhink i have some commented shaders if you want them

[vast bough]

that would be wonderful

[red flower]

no idea, it looks fine to me

[twilit tundra]

do i need to point to it in my mod json or something

[red flower]

no

[vast bough]

am i allowed to put these .fs files in jokerforge in some way. i want the jokerforge shader editor to get presets from base balatro, idk if that is considered piracy or not lol. its not like i am sharing the code directly to the user but it will be in the codebase

[twilit tundra]

are you sure i formatted it right?

[faint yacht]

Theremst me.

[red flower]

i think sharing those files entirely might be too much

[red flower]

actually

no

haha

[vast bough]

yeah if its on the github it might cause worry

i will burn that bridge when i get to it

[red flower]

misc shouldnt be inside descriptions

[unkempt thicket]

I've made a shader thats basically just a texture

It uses a texture

[twilit tundra]

hm
i take it aces are not 1 then in the example card format

[red flower]

ace is A

[slim ferry]

how do existing contexts (like mod_probability) handle getting multiple of the same return value from different jokers (or other things)

[red flower]

the last one takes priority usually

for those contexts, the result of the previous one is changed in the context

[twilit tundra]

it works!
okay now for making sure the hand actually works when played, i'll see you when i have more problems

[cursive gazelle]

yeah they weren't commented give me a minute jayden lol

[vast bough]

no worries lol

[twilit tundra]

okay damn it still does not actually play....
guess i've got more to do on the code side of things

[timid zinc]

Can I use other mod's atlases?

[slim ferry]

you can

[cursive gazelle]

if it exists and it's loaded

[slim ferry]

you would have to disable the automatic atlas mod prefix in prefix_config and then add the mod prefix manually though

what happens if the target pattern for a patch exists multiple times in a single file? will it only apply to the first instance, or to every instance of the pattern?

[median veldt]

hey uh
i'm having issues with my booster pack
the actual item is named correctly

but when you open it up

[slim ferry]

i think group_name should be elsewhere if youre using a localization file

[median veldt]

hm?

[slim ferry]

apparently it has to be in misc.dictionary under the pack's group_key

[median veldt]

so like
misc.dictionary.p_shark_spell_normal.group_name?

[twilit tundra]

wait fuck i think i know why this isn't working its because of the card:get_id()

what does card:get_id() return for aces?

im guessing it's not 1

[median veldt]

or just misc.dictionary.spell_normal.group_name

[slim ferry]

misc.dictionary[group_key]

[median veldt]

14 i think

[slim ferry]

group_key should be in your pack definition

i think

yeah it should

[cursive gazelle]

@vast bough start by extra.fs

[twilit tundra]

ah. is there a related get_rank that would proc on both aces, and stuff like unstable's 1 rank? or something else along those lines

[red flower]

nope

[vast bough]

you are the goat

[red flower]

you can get a rank directly with card.base.value

[slim ferry]

or exists for exactly this reason

just check if its an ace or unstable 1

[median veldt]

?

[twilit tundra]

whats that return for aces though

[vast bough]

N im ngl you need a nice personal website instead of a card

[slim ferry]

can i see your pack code

[red flower]

do i

[twilit tundra]

because im guessing its not 1

[vast bough]

proffesionalism i swear

or something

[cursive gazelle]

buy me a domaine jayden

/j

[red flower]

get_id is 14 base.value is "Ace" iirc

[vast bough]

i will buy s.com

[median veldt]

there's the key but there's also the different key that's returned in loc_vars

[slim ferry]

you should have a group_key in your pack definition

[red flower]

i just bought my domain because it was cheap

[vast bough]

yeah jaydchw.com was like a tenner a year its not bad

[median veldt]

and what should that be
just
spell_normal

[slim ferry]

it can be whatever you want, but youll probably be reusing it across all packs of the same type

[red flower]

same

[slim ferry]

and then to get the group name text in the game you just need misc.dictionary.<group_key> in your localization

[median veldt]

okay cool

[modern kindle]

sell it to me half off

[median veldt]

now completely unrelated - how on EARTH do you add a sticker to a joker

only thing i can think of is set_badge but idk how to use that

namely eternal

[red flower]

i will let you have half of it

:set_sticker

card:set_sticker("eternal") should work

:set_eternal also but idk if thats recommended now

[gilded goblet]

what are badges?

is it that thing that appears to explain whatt a card is

[red flower]

oh wait i think it's add_sticker

[twilit tundra]

uh how do i turn on debug mode or whatever to see my own debug print statements

[ocean sinew]

whats that for

[gilded goblet]

DebugPlus

[ocean sinew]

shaders?

[red flower]

it's the rarity and mod names at the bottom of the card

[median veldt]

and i assume the opposite is remove_sticker

[red flower]

yes

[slim ferry]

bump

[gilded goblet]

ohh okay

whatr im looking for is info queue right

[red flower]

every

[slim ferry]

okay

[red flower]

there's a times parameter

[red flower]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

flipside shaders i gave to jayden to reference

[gilded goblet]

i dont mind pings btw sometimes i will nott see things , but yuh, ty

[slim ferry]

if i want it to apply to each one i should just not have a times parameter right?

[vast night]

hey chat. long time no see. i've been wondering why my toggle dosen't save when changing screens or restarting. does anyone know? i've now read the ui page thrice and im still stumped :/

create_toggle { col = true, label = "", scale = 1, w = 0, shadow = true, ref_table = reddit_config, ref_value = args.ref_value },

[twilit tundra]

okay how the hell are none of these debug prints triggering

    key = "vtude_fullhome",
    chips = 80,
    mult = 8,
    l_chips = 35,
    l_mult = 4,
    visible = true,
    example = {
        { 'S_4', true },

        if #hand < 5 then
            return {}

            local id = card:get_id()
            if id == 4 or id == 14 or id == 3 then
                table.insert(candidates[id], card)
            end
        end
        local available_ranks = {}
        for rank, cards_list in pairs(candidates) do
            if #cards_list > 0 then

        if total_ranks < 3 then
            return {}
        end
        return {hand}
    end
})```

theres just
nothing in the log at all

[red flower]

oh i just have them off by default sorry

[twilit tundra]

(yes i know that right now this would detect too much stuff i'll work on that once the hand actaully works)

[ocean sinew]

I have a question about shader cuz I was trying to make one that makes the color golden and it then it goes to green
vec4 effect(vec4 colour, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords) {

this is where I would change the colours?
And do I need a dissolve mask function or I can just change the color since It's a simple shader

[rotund sable]

You got me curious

[twilit tundra]

the hand shows up in the run info menu so why isnt the evaluate ever running??

[red flower]

evaluate = function(parts, hand)

[cursive gazelle]

yes you need the dissolve but you can just copy it

[red flower]

get a weirder username

[twilit tundra]

oh is the whole part thing mandatory

[ocean sinew]

ok thanks

[twilit tundra]

do i have to split it off into its own function

[median veldt]

wait does this mean i do have to code in the animation or

[ocean sinew]

is only the function to shift the color needed and dissolve mask and the main effect function or is there other ones too btw

[cursive gazelle]

you can reference from the shaders i sent and the examples in smods

[red flower]

no, the function signature needs to be the same or parts will be treated as hand

[rotund sable]

Good idea but I think it's too late for me

[twilit tundra]

ah

[red flower]

what's args.ref_value

[twilit tundra]

ok good news it actually ran it bad news i did the ol compare number to table thing again my debug print statement crashes 😭

[vast night]

should have directly sent everything. it's a string

local create_config_toggle = function(args)
    return {
        n = G.UIT.R,
        config = { align = "cl", padding = 0 },
        nodes = {
            {
                n = G.UIT.C,
                config = { align = "cl", padding = 0.05 },
                nodes = {
                    create_toggle { col = true, label = "", scale = 1, w = 0, shadow = true, ref_table = reddit_config, ref_value = args.ref_value },
                }
