from what ive seen of it it doesnt

zealous glen
#

I mean I was just invoking them as the foremost specialist on seals

slim ferry
#

i mean idk why this requires a seal specialist

zealous glen
#

I'm just curious

wispy falcon
#

How do I make my soundtrack only play in the main menu?

grim remnant
#

also, sorry but i'm. still not entirely sure how to specify said original function. in my defense i haven't touched modding in actual months but like. What do. i assume i have to add something to the local line?

function Card:set_seal()
    if not context.playing_card_added then
        SMODS.calculate_context({setting_seal = true })
    end
end```
#

as this just gives that "expecting a ( near :" error on the function line

robust marsh
#

is it possible to make a consumable not destroy itself when you press use?

zealous glen
#

then you overwrite the original function but call the reference inside

oh, that's an... alarming? bug? it somehow crashed something in the basegame, like it's getting tripped up by the arguments within. i've tried having local set to Card:set_seal(_seal, silent, immediate), Card:set_seal() and even just Card:set_seal, and it errors like this. the first two do this exact error, the latter gives a simple "expected arguments" error

function Card:set_seal()
    if not context.playing_card_added then --actually tell the game setting_seal exists
        SMODS.calculate_context({setting_seal = true })
    end
    set_seal_ref(self)
end```

slim ferry
#

its just set_seal_ref = Card:set_seal

#

also you still need to keep any arguments the original Card:set_seal had

grim remnant
#

i mean, i try that, but it crashes for wanting arguments

image.png
slim ferry
#

yes because the hook doesnt have any arguments

#

and set_seal_ref is called without any arguments too (besides the self)

frosty rampart
#

the line function Card:set_seal() needs to be function Card:set_seal(_seal, silent, immediate) and then you need to call set_seal_ref(self, _seal, silent, immediate) at the end

#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

idk its whichever one vscode wont scream at you for

zealous glen
#

IIRC Card.set_seal is the method set_seal of the Card class

#

Card:set_seal is syntactic sugar either for defining a class method that uses self as the first argument, or for calling that method automatically passing self

grim remnant
#

game freaks out at both : and . but for different reasons? periods crash for this reason on trying to load the title screen, presumably since the title screen card... has a seal, thanks to talisman

function Card.set_seal(_seal, silent, immediate)
    if not context.playing_card_added then --actually tell the game setting_seal exists
        SMODS.calculate_context({setting_seal = true })
    end
    set_seal_ref(self, _seal, silent, immediate)
end```

it should be function Card:set_seal(...)

I've mainly used OOB languages so Idk any FOP or whatever else exists

knotty orchid
#

Is there a way to enable a certain spectral card to spawn in shop?

slim ferry
#

in_pool

knotty orchid
#

so if in_pool's true it can also spawn in shop?

slim ferry
#

if in_pool is true it can spawn, if in_pool is false it cant spawn

red flower
#

no

#

spectrals cant spawn by default

slim ferry
#

oh true

#

i forgot about that

tough bloom
#

im trying to make the +5 message blue but its not:

if #context.full_hand == 4 then
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_gain
returns[#returns + 1] = {
message = "+"..number_format(card.ability.extra.chip_gain),
color = G.C.BLUE, -- Make sure this is G.C.BLUE
chip = card.ability.extra.chip_gain,
card = card,
}
end

zealous glen
#

There is a new function to help manipulate pools

#

maybe that could help

knotty orchid
#

Which one?

red flower
#

it doesnt help with this

knotty orchid
#

🫡

zealous glen
red flower
#

SMODS.add_to_pool but it doesnt let you manipulate which pools spawn

zealous glen
#

SMODS.add_to_pool

knotty orchid
#

so that wouldn't really work

red flower
#

also it is kinda broken because im bad at coding

zealous glen
red flower
#

no, the shop is not a pool in the code

slim ferry
red flower
#

it has a roll for which pool spawns depending on that pool's rate

knotty orchid
#

I know ghost deck uses spectral_rate

red flower
#

yes

knotty orchid
#

but I want just a one card

#

not all of them

red flower
#

yeah

#

you would probably need to make something like an objecttype with your card and patch it into create_card_for_shop

chrome token
grim remnant
#

okay, that much works, i just need to figure out editions, which i imagine would be similar, just with terms swapped out... and also, for some reason, if you use Cryptid on a playing card, it activates this six times. even with the attempts to be like "doesn't count if a card was added"

        if context.setting_ability or context.setting_seal and not context.playing_card_added and not context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.Emult = card.ability.extra.Emult + card.ability.extra.scaler
            return { message = "+^" .. tostring(card.ability.extra.scaler) .. " Mult" }
        end```
zealous glen
#

Quantum Enhancements make multiple set_ability calls

#

I wonder if another effect would also make extra calls

grim remnant
#

i feel like the fix would be to just like. maybe check "if not because of a card's creation" before even checking for setting_ability

tough bloom
slim ferry
#

why are you making a table for your returns

#

jjust return in each context individually

red flower
tough bloom
red flower
#

it also doesnt run in the shop? weird

image.png
#

oh this context just doesnt properly work with my mod, great

grim remnant
#

okay. weird. i tried adding the edition check, and now creating new cards via cryptid activates it ten times.

red flower
#

cryptid might be creating the card and then enhancing it

#

i think SMODS.add_card does that

#

but it's hard to catch that

grim remnant
#

this is with cryptid disabled, though, which is what's confusing me? :o

#

it's also a bit confused by death, activiating thrice (should probably only activate once)

#

i'm gonna go take a break rq bc i'm just generally feeling weird atm but i have. no idea why it's trying to proc for card creations even after telling it not to. like. am i just doing it wrong by using and not context.playing_card_added?

red flower
#

yes, i said before that doesnt do anything

grim remnant
#

ah. that'd do it. uh. what should i be using then? :o

red flower
#

dunno

It has quantum everything.

tough bloom
#

does anyone know how to make a joker show its stored values in its text box? i have the text showing up from the localisation file but its not showing the stored values. do i use the #1# and #2# method?

red flower
tough bloom
#

yeah i do

#

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
local chips = center and center.ability and center.ability.extra and center.ability.extra.chips or self.config.extra.chips
local mult = center and center.ability and center.ability.extra and center.ability.extra.mult or self.config.extra.mult
return {
vars = {
number_format(chips),
number_format(mult),
}
}
end,

#

i just got it to work the #1# method did it

lapis matrix
#

dont forget to set up loc_vars then spend 10 mins wondering why its not tracking the value ive made that mistake more times than ill admit

#

how should i detect what location in the joker hand a joker is? fairly new to modding balatro and still getting used to lua and smod shenanigans

next timber
#

What variable in shaders tells how the joker is tilted? im looking at the polychrome shader and i see the variables at the bottom like mouse_screen_pos and such, but they dont seem to be actually used anywhere

thick drift
#

TFW you have to rework a joker and find this in your comments: -- not sure if this is needed since I am using main_eval, but this is finally working and I refuse to debug working code

#

so you could check if context.old_card exists

grim remnant
# daring fern What is the goal?

if context.setting_ability or context.setting_seal or context.setting_edition and not context.playing_card_added and not context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then
basically:

  • trying to check if the enhancement changes
  • if the seal changes (a custom context)
  • if the edition changes (a custom context)
  • but NOT if a playing card is added (Current problem child)
  • and NOT if a playing card is deleted (this might not actually need to be here but i'm crossing that bridge when i get to it)
  • and NOT if blueprint is calling this (this is determining a scaling ability)
#

if context.setting_ability is on card creation, i do wonder if the play would be to like. hook into whatever handles enhancements changing.

thick drift
#

I would wrap those or statements with brackets just to make sure the code is checking your and statements

daring fern
chrome widget
#

It applies some transformations based on the mouse position if the card is currently being hovered, as well as offsets shaders relative to the center of the screen so that cards and their shadows show depth

daring fern
grim remnant
#

nope, still activates a bunch when cryptid is used. (though, it's down from 10 to 8...?)

chrome widget
#

The actual specific resulting tilt value is, unfortunately, not intuitive. The vec4 matrix returned from the position function has an x and y coordinate and then two values after, with the fourth one being something along the lines of "percentage transformation from local space to world space?" I think? Matrix math is weird

daring fern
chrome widget
#

And so Balatro's shaders use the fourth one to do...... something. I wish I had a better explanation but it's not easily explainable even after trying to research it for my own shader work

Admittedly, the best I can recommend for shader work is Stealing From People Who Know What They're Doing and then trial and erroring your way into porting it to love 2D. I've stolen a lot from GodotShaders and older GLSL shader examples I've found online

next timber
#

yknow what. i think i might just. not do this shine shader after all. the card being big is enough for me

chrome widget
#

If you want you could steal an existing shader, if that would be good enough?

zealous glen
#

I think the Foil shader has two layers, maybe

chrome widget
#

The Voucher and Negative Shine shaders both do something like that

zealous glen
#

I think I remember one of the vanilla shaders had two layers

#

-# hi win'ter

chrome widget
#

Negative has two layers ("negative" and "negative shine")

next timber
#

the shader i wanted was just like, a strip of shine that moves depending on how the card is tilted, i feel like the voucher shader might be too excessive

zealous glen
chrome widget
#

However foil is the only vanilla card shader that specifically draws a transparent texture rather than redrawing fully opaque pixels mixed from the base texture

zealous glen
chrome widget
next timber
#

btw. really annoys me that the rest of the shaders don't use transparency. i have a card texture that kinda requires a shader to look as intended but having any edition breaks it

zealous glen
chrome widget
#

Oh yeah there's the example shaders too as options

zealous glen
zealous glen
chrome widget
next timber
# zealous glen What do you mean exactly

i have a deltarune prophecy joker that uses a shader to achieve the animated effect, but applying any edition other than foil applies a new opaque shader that pulls from the original sprite instead of the shadered one

zealous glen
next timber
next timber
zealous glen
chrome widget
#

Logically you could modify the shader effect to draw overtop the edition shader and simply cover the specific sections you want, while the rest of the black part of the card maintains the edition?

zealous glen
#

One solution is to split the Joker into layers

#

have the one with the custom shader in a layer without the Edition layer

#

and possibly manually apply the Edition shader if you want

zealous glen
grim remnant
chrome widget
#

Oh yeah I'll probably steal from the example shaders and just fudge some math for the edition I need to add

what if splash though

then what does it do

crystal perch
#

👅

#

splash value

chrome widget
#

Actually I'm not sure what I have it set up to do now

#

It would give mult for every scoring card according to my code

crystal perch
#

🙏

chrome widget
#

And I prefer that for the synergy so I should probably make that more obvious and modify the description slightly

#

Since you can argue splashed cards are each "high cards" since the game acts like they all are, but it's still a little ehhhhhh wording wise

#

"When you play a High Card, each scoring card gives Mult equal to its Rank"

#

It's just strange wording itself because it implies that there is more than one scoring card in a High Card by default

crystal perch
#

well you could argue that the splash high card just has five "high cards"

chrome widget
#

I mean yeah that's technically true, I'm just wondering if that's intuitive or not

crystal perch
#

🤷‍♀️

#

both are equally unintuitive

slim ferry
#

just rephrase it to "If played hand is a high card, each card gives mult equal to their rank"

#

or smth like that

crystal perch
#

*each scored

slim ferry
#

oh eah

chrome widget
#

No yeah it's the "each" part that gives me pause because high cards typically have only one scoring card. "Each card" is grammatically singular, it can refer to only a single valid card, but smth about it bugs me

#

My eternal struggle as a writer. "this is correct but it bugs me"

Question from a non-coder: does anyone know how to fix the fact that mika's mod collection consistently gives +20 mult for lucky cards (even if they dont trigger), or even if you can just point me to where i should be looking in the .lua file

cursive gazelle
#

Mika’s mod ?

hoary spindle
#

Yup

cursive gazelle
#

Never heard of it

#

You should be asking mika

#

Fun fact i never heard of someone named mika in dev chat

hoary spindle
#

Mika is long gone, hence why I'm trying to manually edit the lua file locally

cursive gazelle
#

I see

#

When does this happen?

hoary spindle
#

Every time a lucky card is played

cursive gazelle
#

With certain joker or always ?

#

It might be something to do with taking ownership or lovely patches

hoary spindle
#

Its as though it's programmed to always give +20 mult (the probability check seems to be intact as jokers that rely on lucky card triggers still work as they ought to)

#

The lucky card still has a 1 in 5 chance to trigger jokers, but always gives +20 mult separately from that

daring fern
#

You need to add the card as an input to the other contexts.

hoary spindle
#

Is there a way I can ctrl-F the lua file (i can understand most of the coding logic - it seems like a relatively simple coding language, but I don't actually know how to code in lua or know what i should be looking for) to get close to what im trying to find?

cursive gazelle
#

Lua is pretty simple

#

That should give you and idea on how everything works

#

Also please read the wiki

#

N also made a repo containing a wiki basically recreating the whole vanilla objects and has a wiki explaining everything

hoary spindle
#

Okay, ty - I guess this is my sign to get back into coding

#

lua is very simple, except for the fact that its pretty different to other languages, even other interpretive languages.

THANK YOU!!!

lapis matrix
#

hey is anyone down to help me figure out the logic behind a rather unique joker im making for my gfs birthday? im very inexperienced with programming and struggling lol

rocky plaza
lapis matrix
# rocky plaza what do you want to make? like what effect

so, shes a speedrunner, so the idea is the joker starts with a certain set amount of xmult gain, but the longer you take to pick your hand/discard, it goes down fast, plateaus a bit, then when it crosses over into the negative(losing xmult) it begins to speed up again, think the shape of a parabola.

discarding/playing a hand would take the amount of xmult gained/lost and be added onto it, then being applied to the scoring hand/starting again if discarded hand, idea is high risk high reward wherein taking too long can lose all the built xmult on the joker

#

i think i explained that correctly, just got off of work so im still getting my brain on straight lol

#

not even sure if this is feasible which is why im asking around

rocky plaza
#

i think im reading that right

#

timer based mechanics are def possible

lapis matrix
#

yeah

rocky plaza
#

and when you play a hand it'lll add the final value to its new initial value

#

correct?

lapis matrix
#

yep, and then rinse repeat so you can scale it by playing fast and against the timer

#

basically the shape of a parabola, starts with giving a certain x amount, but no limit on the negative side, so if you take waaay long you can lose all your built xmult, obviously the values themselves will take tweaking to balance but i think its a more unique joker concept and fits her perfectly

rocky plaza
#

i dont think i can explain delta time here in a reasonable time frame so imma have to work some magic here then

#

cuz events probably cant handle what you want

lapis matrix
#

if you're willing to assist me with this im definitely willing to vc and learn a thing or two while doing so, also doesn't have to be today or anything, right now im just getting an idea of if this is even feasible to implement

rocky plaza
#

if the decrease is parabolic then the math shouldnt be too funky

lapis matrix
#

yeah a parabolic shape should work perfectly and be tweakable enough to balance well

#

but in reality its whatever would work best, that's just what came to mind

rocky plaza
compact valve

how would you use this joker

function Card:set_seal(_seal, silent, immediate)
    SMODS.calculate_context({setting_seal = true, other_card = self})
    return set_seal_ref(self, _seal, silent, immediate)
end```
like, i assume the idea is to give the calculate_context line an (in shitty pseudocode) `if playing_card(_seal) == true then`, but like. How though

i figured out a hacky solution, tho it probably breaks cryptid a bit seeing as jokers can be sealed in that mod. ah well. in the context it's appearing in it's meant to be playing card-exclusive anyway

function Card:set_seal(_seal, silent, immediate)
    if self.ability.set ~= "Joker" then --this is such a hacky solution and probably breaks cryptid a tiny bit since you can actually seal jokers in that mod. too bad!
        SMODS.calculate_context({setting_seal = true, other_card = self})

    return set_seal_ref(self, _seal, silent, immediate)

also, question. i'm trying to make a consumable that, when used, just spawns. Any random consumable, of any kind. i already have most of the stuff for it as i've made similar cards before, but nothing that just takes. The Entire Breadth Of Consumable Types. what can i do for that?

        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = "after",
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound("timpani")
                SMODS.add_card{
                    set = "Tarot" --need to replace this
                }
                -- card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                return true
            end,
        }))

any pointers for how to just grab any consumable category for SMODS.add_card? since uh. set = "Tarot, Planet, Spectral" did not work, and also this would skip any categories added by other mods

I'm trying to make a joker that has a chance to apply an edition when a card is scored, but the only problem is that if i set it as a event manager event, it wont score the edition on retriggers, but if i don't to make it count the edition on retriggers, it will do it before the card is scored which visually doesn't make sense

I dont understand why the apply alway goes on the else statement when the condition should be true and it just doesnt work the condition is false

# grim remnant well that didn't work

literally nothing is different between this and another consumable we have to summon from a category of consumables, EXCEPT the category being Consumables. what is happening???

        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({ --make a spectral card!

                play_sound("timpani")

                    set = "Consumeables"
                }

text motion modifiers??

:o

E:1 for wavy text (like "Legendary" on the soul), E:2 for text that does little hops ig kinda (card names have this by default, and used for "self destructs")

oh E:1 is also used on the "you win" text at the end of a run

lapis matrix
#

hey eris, another question, so if the joker is on the rightmost slot i want it to return the xmult to be used(obviously), but then i want to half it from what the current xmult was after its used, how would i order that to occur after returning the xmult? (sorry for obvious questions im learning 😭)

#

would i just add a , after the return then do the division there

why "ERROR"?

#

what i need to do?

lapis matrix
slim ferry
lapis matrix
#

yeah thought as much

#

gotcha

slim ferry
#

also since the new smods version theres now an SMODS.scale_card function. its optional but allows cards to be affected and detected by calc_scaling (scaling manipulation)

lapis matrix
#

would this actually update the visual of the xmult on the card as well?

image.png
slim ferry
#

if you have card.ability.extra.xmult in your loc_vars then yes

(i have loc vars set up and all of that already, just clarifying since im likely asking stupid questions)

#

after giving myself the joker

#

you have something firing in context.repetition

#

but without returning anything meaningful that would cause something to repeat

#

which is worrisome

frosty dock
#

that means your context checks are probably bad

#

something is firing in context.repetition when it shouldn't

#

it's also probably too harsh of smods to spam you like this I guess

here's the noobie code, what did i fuck up

            }
        }
    }
}

the only hiccup is you'll have to do something to define the values for your credited artists somewhere. In my API they're defined under a section dedicated to credits, a table indexed by the id of the mod, but you can change those references to whatever you want:

ArrowAPI.credits = {
    --- Table containing display names for all mod contributors, indexed by shortened key
    ArrowAPI = {
        ['gote'] = "BarrierTrio/Gote",
        ['keku'] = "Keku",
        ['cejai'] = "SagaciousCejai",
        ['eremel'] = "Eremel",
        ['yunkie'] = "yunkie101",
        ['joey'] = "Joey",
        ['winter'] = "TheWinterComet"
    },

    add_credits = function(mod, args)
        ArrowAPI['credits'][mod.id] = args
    end
}

Then, on the Back center object definition, just do artist = 'key' or artist = { 'key1, 'key2', ...}

The question is, do you need a limit on the money added or on the resulting money?

wispy falcon

How do I get the level (and with that the chips & mult) of a poker hand?

lofty elm
# cursive gazelle Try returning the string directly

It still had the issue, I think it has to do with the compatible tag which I just stole from blueprint in the vanilla remade thing, but i don't really understand how all that works tbh so not sure why it would cause that. But it only returns nil when the compatible tag is there.

pastel kernel

#

doublemoney = 2

#

but the ceiling is immutable

#

so when you try to increase doublemoney using oil lamp

red cradle
#

you dont need "doublemoney", you can just add your money to your money (i think so)

#

oh

grim remnant
#

yeah, you just. add money to money, right?

pastel kernel
#

it multiplies money by X"doublemoney"

red cradle
pastel kernel
#

oil lamp increases joker values

#

specfically the joker to the right

#

by x1.2

#

this allows some jokers to give unholy mult

red cradle
#

And how does she do it?

pastel kernel
#

they have a whole function for it

#

in a separate file

#

but from what i can gather, they check for any values in the joker that is a number

#

and then increase it accordingly

red cradle
#

so

#

do you need the lamp not to go over the limit?

pastel kernel
#

they can't affect immutable values

red cradle
#

ok

#

so

pastel kernel
#

moneymultceiling is immutable

red cradle
