[red cradle]

I would do this

[pastel kernel]

Man

Fine

I’m getting rid of the upgradable doublemoney

[red cradle]

oh

idk about that

[pastel kernel]

You can multiply your money by a specific value is what I’m getting at.

[wispy falcon]

bump

[pastel kernel]

Not just x2

[red cradle]

ease_dollars(math.min(card.ability.immutable.moneymultceiling, G.GAME.dollars * (mult - 1)))

[pastel kernel]

mult must be doublemoney?

[red cradle]

mult = 2 will double your moneu

[red cradle]

yes

[pastel kernel]

doublemoney is a Config variable btw

[red cradle]

so, just replace it

[grim remnant]

sorry to nag, i still have. no idea how to start on this. ^^;

[pastel kernel]

"5. Removes the stickers of all your jokers.",

this is the next random ability of neo metal sonic

yes, he has 1 in 8 random effects on trigger

[red cradle]

How to check joker for having sticker?

[pastel kernel]

For k, v in pairs(G.jokers)?

[slim ferry]

i think you can check for individual stickers

idk how you check for stickers in general though

[red cradle]

modded stickers...

[manic rune]

G.jokers.cards..................

[pastel kernel]

Ok

How do I remove all stickers tho

That’s like his next ability

[red cradle]

Well, I think so too, but mod stickers will get in my way.

[pastel kernel]

His ability is to remove ALL stickers of the jokers

[ocean sinew]

ipairs

[red cradle]

pour guy

[pastel kernel]

for k, v ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do?

[ocean sinew]

yes

G.jokers.cards is just number indexes

[slim ferry]

i looked at entropy and what it does is:
loop over SMODS.Sticker.obj_table
then for another loop inside that loop going over a cardarea

[ocean sinew]

so ipairs is better

It'll save you 10^-200 seconds of performance

[slim ferry]

thats for counting every sticker that is

[pastel kernel]

Does debuff also count as a sticker?

[red cradle]

I didnt understand anything :/

[slim ferry]

no

[pastel kernel]

Oh.

[red cradle]

so i think im to weak for it

oh

[pastel kernel]

Would’ve been fun to have a joker that gets rid of all debuffs

[red cradle]

i understand

[slim ferry]

though i assume you just want to check stickers of a single joker

[pastel kernel]

All of them actually

[slim ferry]

okay

[pastel kernel]

The original idea by auzzy was to make all jokers eternal but that would probably be detrimental

[slim ferry]

entropy does this for counting stickers
just replace G.I.CARD with G.jokers.cards

[red cradle]

like that?

[red cradle]

oh

[slim ferry]

i mean

you did that

[slim ferry]

it would be joker.ability[sticker]

[lofty elm]

Does anyone know if there's a way to have localization text only appear conditionally? I can make it not appear but it's on it's own line so it leaves a big empty space which I'd like to avoid

[red cradle]

oh yea

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-change-the-name-or-description-of-a-card-dynamically

[lofty elm]

ty!

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[red flower]

all of that is in G.GAME.hands["hand name"]

[pastel kernel]

if randomeffect == 5 then
                for k, v ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                local total = 0
                for i, v in pairs(SMODS.Sticker_obj_table) do
                    for i2, v2 in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                        if v2.ability and v2.ability[i] then
                            total = total + 1
                        end
                    end
                end
                return total
            end

it's 12:28 AM.

[slim ferry]

why are you doing 2 loops over G.jokers.cards

[pastel kernel]

oh for the love of

if randomeffect == 5 then
                local total = 0
                for i, v in pairs(SMODS.Sticker_obj_table) do
                    for i2, v2 in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                        if v2.ability and v2.ability[i] then
                            total = total + 1
                        end
                    end
                end
                return total
            end

there

[slim ferry]

yeah

[pastel kernel]

the next listed ability is this apparently.

-- Squares all of your current chips and mult (Triggers After Scoring).

this was just proposed to me

idk what they mean by squaring AFTER scoring

[red cradle]

Stiker.obj_table
4 line

[pastel kernel]

What

[red cradle]

. not _

between Sticker and obj

[pastel kernel]

Ok

saw it

next ability -- Gains 1.5XMult if a Soul is used, or a Legendary joker is to Neo Metal Sonic's right.

[vast bridge]

How to modify vanilla tarot card?

[frosty rampart]

take_ownership
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/API-Documentation#taking-ownership

[ocean sinew]

multiply a number by itself

probably

[pastel kernel]

They sent me a new message

They told me it squares my chips and mult AFTER ALL OTHER jokers stop scoring

1 AM, and I have class at 7

[frosty rampart]

1. sleep
2. read the documentation, this is a pretty simple question to answer

[pastel kernel]

I swear if it’s context.after_scoring

[frosty rampart]

actually my bad, if you want it to affect score i think context.final_scoring_step is better. and that's not documented yet i don't think
(context.after is a thing but it might be too late in the process)

[frosty rampart]

oh it is documented
mixed it up with initial_scoring_step then

[slim ferry]

will nothing bad happen if i call a function outside a context check, but that function does have a context check inside itself?

[red flower]

i do that often when i want to do the same on multiple cards

[slim ferry]

alr

[pastel kernel]

creates 7 negative perishable jokers.

if randomeffect == 8 then
                for i = 1, card.ability.immutable.rnpjokers do
                    local neojokers = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, pseudoseed('neo2')).key
                    SMODS.add_card({ key = neojokers, edition = 'e_negative', stickers = {"perishable"} })
                end
            end

Random too

[lofty elm]

Anyone know how to check if a card is a joker? as in
if context.buying_card then
if card.??

[cursive gazelle]

I think you can check for Cardarea here

I forgot

[red flower]

context.card.ability.set == "Joker"

[cursive gazelle]

I’m stupid i was thinking of both

[lofty elm]

oh cool ty

yall are actually so helpful you wouldn't belive

maybe I'm kinda taking advantage of yall and not doing enough research tho lol

[pastel kernel]

I will bookmark this

[red flower]

if it makes you feel worse this is in the vanillaremade wiki

[lofty elm]

damn, I looked through it for a bit but I didn't ctrl f well enough ig

[pastel kernel]

I’m gonna go to bed

[crystal perch]

i would like to make a joker which treats enhanced cards as wild cards, but i want to write it in a way that doesn't result in it infinitely looping due to context.check_enhancement

[pastel kernel]

It’s already late

[red flower]

tbh the wiki is kinda hard to navigate

[lofty elm]

yeaaaah

[red flower]

if context.other_card.ability.set == "Enhanced"

[crystal perch]

would i use that instead of check_enhancement or in tandem with it, because this code i currently have doesn't work

if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.ability.set == "Enhanced" then
    return {
        m_wild = true
    }
end

[red flower]

together

i dont remember if it was other_card for that context tho let me check

[crystal perch]

it was

[red flower]

then idk

[crystal perch]

oh silly me, i hadn't saved

this works

[slim ferry]

can i put additional sets into the descriptions in my localization file? i have a set of things i want to use for info_queues and i would like to keep them seperated for organization purposes

[red flower]

they wont show up by default, i think you need to do some stuff for other sets to be parsed properly

[primal robin]

You can put as much stuff as you want

[frosty rampart]

you can add extra blank lines and comments :3

[slim ferry]

fair

[red flower]

I just have them in descriptions.Other because i can't be bothered and use the --#region plugin to separate them in vscode

[primal robin]

I'm just adding them in descriptions and then make lines manually

[red flower]

i also have my loc files separated so that helps

[primal robin]

I guess it's not the best way to localize stuff but hey, it's working

[cursive gazelle]

Can i make a Handy ui redesign ?

For the sake of nothing

I just like ui

[primal robin]

Depends on what you have in mind

[cursive gazelle]

Nothing.

[primal robin]

Because I'm already working on this

[cursive gazelle]

Oh neat

[primal robin]

But I allow you to try to make smth

[cursive gazelle]

Yeppiee

[slim ferry]

can i do for loops outside context checks too (with no code inside it actually happening outside of a context check)

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[final jewel]

what is the full key for booster pack ?

[grim remnant]

it was not this, it broke literally on the line of trying to call smeared_check.

    function SMODS.smeared_check(card, suit)
        if ((card.base.suit == 'Hearts' or card.base.suit == 'Spades') and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Spades')) then
            return true
        end
        return false
    end
}```

[crystal perch]

p_[prefix]_[key]

[vast bridge]

Why it still doesn't convert card into wild suit?

[crystal perch]

so, for example p_mod_card_pack

[final jewel]

Thx

[slim ferry]

is there a way to prevent a card from getting flipped?

[crystal perch]

the key is 'Wild' not 'wild'

in the 2nd pic

[vernal path]

oh shoot wait, i just realized
tazzan, are you ?

[crystal perch]

yeah i'm an admin in the tf2 blender server

[vernal path]

how's it been? I left quite a while ago

[red flower]

are you ok

you dont seem to be

[crystal perch]

it's been updated to the latest update and the ports are all way better now

[vast bridge]

Still doesn't work😭

Lovers doesn't select 2 cards and doesn't convert them to wild suit

[crystal perch]

oh i see

it's mod_conv not suit_conv

[slim ferry]

its a suit though

so it is suit_conv here

[vast bridge]

But I want to make it suit

[crystal perch]

i just realised that's a new suit

[vast bridge]

I can apply changes while in game, right?

[crystal perch]

no

you have to restart

[grim remnant]

trying another approach and it's similarly breaking on the very first line. what exactly am i missing here...?

function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    local ret = card_is_suit_ref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    if not ret and not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then
        if ((card.base.suit == 'Hearts' or card.base.suit == 'Spades') and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Spades')) then
            return true
        else return ret
        end
    return ret
end```

[crystal perch]

did you mean to write SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")

instead of your joker

let's say my mod prefix is "mymod" and my joker's key is "myjoker", you would write SMODS.find_card("j_mymod_myjoker")

[grim remnant]

no, but that didn't fix the initial problem ^^;

[vast bridge]

What is wrong??? It still doesn't do anything (not even extends selection limit)

[crystal perch]

what's the code look like now

[grim remnant]

like. what am i missing here?

[unborn bay]

oh there's your problem

[crystal perch]

why are you else returning ret

[slim ferry]

it shouldnt be in your joker definition

[unborn bay]

move the hook outside of your joker definition block

FUCK

[slim ferry]

teehee

[crystal perch]

lol

[grim remnant]

ah. trying that now

[primal robin]

Haya spotted

[grim remnant]

it did NOT like me going into checkered deck and selecting 5 cards from there.

[faint yacht]

self.base.suit

[red cradle]

Can i be able to select more than 1 joker in joker slots?

[grim remnant]

doesn't crash, but isn't detecting right. this should be a flush house by calculation's standard.

[faint yacht]

Remove if not ret?

[frail parcel]

why doesnt this work?

[slim ferry]

is prevent_debuff a thing that can be returned in context.debuff_card? i couldve sworn i saw it somewhere but the docs dont have anything on it

[crystal perch]

do SMODS.debuff_card(card, "prevent_debuff", "seed")

[red flower]

yes

[grim remnant]

that worked! pretty much the only thing is, with Smeared, it should logically start treating. All. as flushes. (technically modded suits would disagree but shhhh)

[foggy ginkgo]

Ofc Ali would know how to do a heart and spades count as the same suit

[red cradle]

Isaac Sacred Heart?

[grim remnant]

No,

[red cradle]

(((

[grim remnant]

but that's beside the point

(also i think there's already an isaac mod sdfglkjh)

[faint yacht]

...I do have Hearty Spades that does the same thing, but my implementation of that, while working, is quite old...

[grim remnant]

i did try this for "with smeared, just treat anything non-suited (stone) as flush" but it didn't work

function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    local ret = card_is_suit_ref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    if not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_stla_sacredHeart")) then
        if ((self.base.suit == 'Hearts' or self.base.suit == 'Spades') and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Spades')) then
            return true
        end
    else if not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_stla_sacredHeart")) and next(SMODS.find_card("Smeared Joker")) then
        return true
        end
    return ret
    end
end```

[foggy ginkgo]

Yeah I saw

It's uh

Very interesting :3

I half understand it so

[slim ferry]

where does localization go into? i want to check if a specific localization key exists, which i need to do because im generating an info_queue from a for loop where not everything is guaranteed to have a description

[harsh belfry]

G.localization
this is basically 1 to 1 with the loc lua file

[slim ferry]

uhhhh

[harsh belfry]

it has a bit more than that lol

[red cradle]

Is it too op?

[slim ferry]

ah ok

[harsh belfry]

its the same structure as the loc lua file

[slim ferry]

it seems fine, but i feel like selected could be a bit much. ectoplasm is random and has a downside thats usually much worse

[red cradle]

I basically don't want to randomize the selection, that's the idea

[grim remnant]

still looking for tips on how to make it so when the modded joker & smeared are present, the game's like. "Well shit guess they're all the same suits now"

[hybrid shadow]

what is the context for when the played hand is a 4oak

[red cradle]

But maybe it needs to be weakened somehow...

[red cradle]

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

[red flower]

context.scoring_name == "Four of a Kind"

[red flower]

this is contains

[red cradle]

fair

[hybrid shadow]

thx n

[grim remnant]

hmm. what're we missing here?? (as, no, the change to j_smeared wasn't it)

function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    local ret = card_is_suit_ref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
    if not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_stla_sacredHeart")) then
        if ((self.base.suit == 'Hearts' or self.base.suit == 'Spades') and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Spades')) then
            return true
        end
    else if not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_stla_sacredHeart")) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_smeared")) then
        return true
        end
    return ret
    end
end```

[faint yacht]

I'm working on an updated function that you can check out later. (also featuring https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1326135270759993364)

@tall wharf

[tall wharf]

😭

wha happened

[faint yacht]

Something do be wacky.

if flush_calc then
    if not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) then
        local smearcheck, heartyspadescheck = SMODS.smeared_check(self, suit), togabalatro.heartyspadescheck(self, suit)
        if smearcheck and heartyspadescheck then
            if togabalatro.config.DoMoreLogging then sendInfoMessage("Hearty Spades + Smeared Joker flush pass.", "TOGAPack") end
            return true
        elseif heartyspadescheck and not smearcheck then
            if togabalatro.config.DoMoreLogging then sendInfoMessage("Hearty Spades flush pass.", "TOGAPack") end
            return true
        end
    end
    return issuitref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
else
    if self.debuff and not bypass_debuff then return end
    if not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) then
        local smearcheck, heartyspadescheck = SMODS.smeared_check(self, suit), togabalatro.heartyspadescheck(self, suit)
        if smearcheck and heartyspadescheck then
            if togabalatro.config.DoMoreLogging then sendInfoMessage("Hearty Spades + Smeared Joker pass.", "TOGAPack") end
            return true
        elseif heartyspadescheck and not smearcheck then
            if togabalatro.config.DoMoreLogging then sendInfoMessage("Hearty Spades pass.", "TOGAPack") end
            return true
        end
    end
    return issuitref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
end

togabalatro.heartyspadescheck = function(card, suit)
    if not next(SMODS.find_card('j_toga_heartyspades')) then
        return false
    end

    if (card.base.suit == 'Hearts' or card.base.suit == 'Spades') and (suit == 'Hearts' or suit == 'Spades') then
        return true
    end
    return false
end

[foggy ginkgo]

That's some pretty solid evidence

[slim ferry]

would returning stay_flipped = false in context.stay_flipped stop a card from being drawn face down?

[tall wharf]

no lcue tbh

[grim remnant]

whoops. ;P

[faint yacht]

Reverting mostly back to my original code...

[tall wharf]

i don't think it's my fault but 😭

[foggy ginkgo]

Aiko

[faint yacht]

Yeah, such is not your fault, just mine being wacky, but I specifically wanted to test it with Pure cards.

Old code it is, with a minor tweak.

[final jewel]

Im getting this crash while I try to implement a voucher that add 1 choice in my custom pack

[faint yacht]

Is the G.GAME.giga table even initialized?

[final jewel]

idk, are you talking about that

[slim ferry]

capitalization

[faint yacht]

That's a completely different table.

[slim ferry]

Giga exists, not giga

[final jewel]

ooooooh

[slim ferry]

also yeah

[final jewel]

im dumb

[slim ferry]

different table

G.GAME.giga doesnt exist

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.giga and giga would be different tables and located in different spots.

[final jewel]

So its G.GAME.Giga

[slim ferry]

well that doesnt exist unless you create it

[faint yacht]

redeem = function(self, vouchers)
  G.GAME.giga = G.GAME.giga or {}
  G.GAME.giga.vouchers = G.GAME.giga.vouchers or {}
  G.GAME.giga.vouchers.newMenu = (G.GAME.giga.vouchers.newMenu or 0) + vouchers.ability.extra.choice
end

[broken rivet]

G.GAME i'm pretty sure has all data about the current run

[faint yacht]

It does, yes.

[slim ferry]

also

[final jewel]

And do I need to change something in the toml

[slim ferry]

G.GAME doesnt like storing tables afaik

at least not tables that arent usually there

so if you create a table in it i dont think itll save with the run

[faint yacht]

It should.

[slim ferry]

i remember hearing it didnt

[harsh belfry]

table stuff just explodes if you try storing stuff like Cards

[frosty dock]

it's not tables that are problematic

Objects are

[harsh belfry]

yes

[faint yacht]

This is after reopening the run, but also making sure save_run() was called.

[slim ferry]

well yeah

i knew regular variables were fine

[frosty dock]

which includes cards, sprites and everything else the game has a class for

[frosty dock]

also obviously functions don't work either

anything you want saved in G.GAME has to be serializable

[broken rivet]

isn't G.GAME.blind a thing

[red flower]

yes

[harsh belfry]

oh man you really shouldn't be doing that anyway

[fluid nebula]

makin joker art

[frosty dock]

it gets special treatment

[tall wharf]

you cannot save functions inside G.GAME

[slim ferry]

well why would you save functions there

[frosty dock]

so no functions and no circular references

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/5b4a6251a9f0d2db48df8b10de62c084398409b0/togastuff.lua#L536-L562 Here, copy and replace j_toga_heartyspades with your key... and remove the sendInfoMessage debugging lines from yours. 😛

[tall wharf]

sorry

[broken rivet]

guess i'm gonna need to make a lovely patch or something to store another blind-like object reference

[harsh belfry]

yeah like
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE SAVE FILES THAT COULD FUNCTION AS AN ACTUAL VIRUS
theres like no reason and its a security vuln anyway

[foggy ginkgo]

NO MY CHICOT

WHYYY

[final jewel]

it work but why do ortalab isnt doing the same thing

[primal robin]

gottem

[slim ferry]

because it creates those tables elsewhere

[red flower]

you probably dont need that, just save whatever config options it uses

that's what blinds do

[final jewel]

oh right

[tall wharf]

G.GAME.blind.config.blind

[faint yacht]

Alternatively...

SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals = function(run_start)
  if run_start then
    G.GAME.giga = {}
    G.GAME.giga.vouchers = {}
  end
end

[red flower]

now there's G.GAME.blind.effect :3

[faint yacht]

boind

[red flower]

blocked

[broken rivet]

my mod nerfs chicot so certain blinds require log_10(score) > 0.5*log_10(blind requirement) before being disabled and i'm probably gonna apply that change to some blinds in other mods
mostly so he isn't deadweight but you still have to like. actually fucking interact with the blind

idk if using base 10 logarithms is really fitting for balatro but eh

[final jewel]

@faint yacht thx soo much all is working like I want

[sonic cedar]

what's the difference between context.blueprint and context.blueprint_card?

[faint yacht]

context.blueprint_card is the copying card.

[sonic cedar]

like its the one copying?

[faint yacht]

Yeh.

context.blueprint is for checking for blueprint effect overall.

[sonic cedar]

cause im trying to figure out why this isnt triggering destruction

and i feel like it's something obvious but then at the same time it could be something really obscure

or a bug
i hope its not a bug

ok nvm it's not about blueprint at all ill figure it out

[frosty dock]

that... should work fine

[sonic cedar]

[frosty dock]

can i see it not working :jimbo_spin:

[sonic cedar]

when im back at my computer but it’s literally just

Discards hand
Cards get discarded
cards do not get destroyed

[wispy falcon]

Is there a way to change the scale of the soul on a card?

[slim ferry]

is SMODS.calculate_effect completely identical to returning in terms of functionality?

[sonic cedar]

maybe the file just isnt getting loaded for some reason????

wait that actually could be the reason

[frosty dock]

does trading card work

[sonic cedar]

yes it works fine
also aure look at ts 🥀

[unborn smelt]

stupid question:
is it possible to add a joker to the consumables pool?

[sonic cedar]

it was in fact the incredibly obvious answer

[frosty dock]

k then something's not being loaded right

[sonic cedar]

wrong key

its the wrong key

[frosty dock]

amazing

[slim ferry]

bump

[frosty dock]

no

[wispy falcon]

bump

[hidden notch]

Holy Maccheroni
First of all... Many MANY Thanks for sharing!
And Second of all...... Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with your API-Mod
I did not realize, how much work that simple lookin' feature brings

[frosty dock]

returning can pass state out such as removing cards or debuffing/undebuffing hands and cards among other things

[slim ferry]

i see

[unborn smelt]

pools = {
['tjr_pool_mischief'] = true,
['G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Tarot'] = true,
['G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Spectral'] = true,
},

this does not work so my joker shows up in tarot and spectral packs, right?

[frosty dock]

Tarot = true

none of that other stuff

[unborn smelt]

just
pools={Tarot=true}

[chrome widget]

If you want to use the API mod, then it has a function ArrowAPI.credits.add_credits(mod, args) to register strings for credits in a central location.

I usually call this in the main file, and it looks smth like this:

ArrowAPI.credits.add_credits(SMODS.current_mod, {
    ['gote'] = "BarrierTrio/Gote",
    ['cejai'] = "SagaciousCejai",
    ['eremel'] = "Eremel",
    ['keku'] = "Keku",
    ['guff'] = "GuffNFluff",
    ['wario'] = "MightyKingWario",
    ['rerun'] = "KawaiiRerun",
    ['vivi'] = "Vivian Giacobbi",
    ['gameboy'] = "Sir. Gameboy",
    ['chvsau'] = "chvsau",
    ['dolos'] = "Dolos",
    ['stup'] = 'Stupisms',
    ['reda'] = 'Redastrin',
    ['araki'] = 'Hirohiko Araki',
    ['luckyland'] = 'Lucky Land Communications',
})

Afterwards, you can just set the artist property on the item and it'll do all relevant crediting including hover tooltips and this deck menu thing, which also supports Galdur via hover code

[frosty dock]

well add whatever else

but no G.P_CENTER_POOLS and whatever

that's not part of the pool key, it's just where the table of pools is

else you'd be addressing G.P_CENTER_POOLS['G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Tarot']

[unborn smelt]

makes sense

thank you

[chrome widget]

Maybe ill add something to programmatically make a mod credits tab when you call this function but I can't guarantee it. Would help so that fewer people have to fiddle with UI

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[frosty dock]

yes but I'm not in a clear enough state of mind to tell you how to make it look right

[hidden notch]

I'll try it out and I know whom to ask if I fail somewhere along the way
Thank you for the troubles 🙇‍♂️

[chrome widget]

Feel free to use its other features too!! Unfortunately since it's not officially released it is not properly documented, though most of the API functions have docstrings at least

[wispy falcon]

Can you tell me the function that it uses so that I can try out how to use it?

[robust marsh]

can i make a joker take no space without a negative edition

[sonic cedar]

negatives dont make them take no space, it just increases how much you have, but yeah

[frosty dock]

you should be able to use set_sprites to change the soul sprite, but I'm not sure if you'd also need to patch the corresponding SMODS.DrawStep to account for the scale

[robust marsh]

ah

[chrome widget]

Some features include

• loading helper functions
• universal art crediting
• generic extra blind effects
• custom challenge description options
• pseudorandom prediction
• boss blind background gradient support
• easy consumable selection limit modification
• various helper functions for vanilla stuff
• support for two custom consumable types, Stands and VHS Tapes (both previously used by Cardsauce)

[sonic cedar]

how would i check if a discarded hand is currently being iterated through the last card in said hand?

[sonic cedar]

oh my god 😭

[frosty dock]

said DrawStep being this one https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/dfc5cba8f5ba128dd4178355fb4257aa8e17007e/src/card_draw.lua#L328

which reminds me that you can define soul_pos.draw instead of patching that step

[ocean sinew]

config = {
joker_slots=1
}
I think

otherwise if just setting config doesnt work you can do

[red flower]

you can put card_limit in the joker now but i just tested it and it's kinda janky haha

[frosty dock]

yay jank

[ocean sinew]

wait fr

how?

[chrome widget]

Put it in the config

[red flower]

eremel made it so most objects can have card_limit in the config to act like negative

i dont think this is intended tho

[robust marsh]

I suppose I could add it into add to deck humm

[frosty dock]

make sure to also reverse it in remove_from_deck if you do

[robust marsh]

yupyup

thank you :)

[sonic cedar]

oh wait i can just trigger my function in post_discard

duh

[chrome widget]

What's your oh my god

[frosty dock]

when in doubt, ask yourself if you're asking the right question

[sonic cedar]

thats a lot

[sonic cedar]

the S stands for Sthinker

[chrome widget]

Surprisingly it doesn't feel like it. Some of those are pretty small features. Love to expand it though

[sonic cedar]

many small thing make big thing

[frosty dock]

as long as you keep the h I won't comment on that

[chrome widget]

I mostly wanted to fill in stuff that is either A) hard to do or B) requires overwriting vanilla code and so is safer for people to get from a unified source to reduce mod conflicts

The extra blind stuff was Hard. The consumable limit stuff required a lot of overwrites because of Vanilla Jank

[red flower]

we love apis we need more of those

[frosty dock]

i mean feel free to PR stuff to smods that you think is useful to have from a unified source

[sonic cedar]

lmao

[chrome widget]

Most of the stuff in my API here is stuff I would reasonably consider to be not vanilla enough features for SMODS IMO

[frosty dock]

yay more api mods, love to see it

[red flower]

I just need someone to finally make a mod manager that handles dependencies

[chrome widget]

That said I'm sure I could technically simplify the consumable limit stuff if I just overwrite card.ability.consumable with an actual deep copy instead of a shallow reference, but for some reason I didn't do that. Can't remember why I chose not to

[frosty dock]

smods features need not be vanilla, they just need to not change anything about the game while they're not being used by anyone

[frosty dock]

||in-game mod manager 2026?||

[chrome widget]

Cause smth the API also does (only in English now because I am Sadly Monolingual) is add support for automatically updating relevant consumables' loc texts to plural conjugation if the select limit changes

[frosty dock]

that's hard to do well for the general case

[chrome widget]

I.E. chariot goes from saying "change 1 card in hand into a steel card" to "change up to 2 cards in hand into steel cards"

Yeah

[chrome widget]

Plus I'd also need to vary by language depending on how they treat conjugation, or if they consider zero to conjugate like a plural like English does or not

Regardless it's a useful feature and can be iterated on

[frail parcel]

is there a list of vanilla joker keys?

[red river]

hey, question- how can i detect if a joker has been obtained during shops? (including stuff like judgement, etc)

jinx

[frosty dock]

yes, in the game's source code in game.lua

[red flower]

https://jokerforge.jaydchw.com/keys

[frosty dock]

that works too

[red flower]

depends on why
if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" and G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP might work

[red river]

it works for purchased jokers but not judgement cards

also it doesn't work on buffoon packs

[red flower]

oh i thought you were saying just in the shop by any means

what's the intended effect you need?

[red river]

i'm trying to make a joker that re-opens a skipped boosterpack, once per shop. the re-opening part is done, i'm trying to figure out how to make it specifically work in shops

[frosty dock]

i don't think there really is a way to tell if a pack is being opened in the shop or not without setting such a flag yourself

[red river]

for edge cases when you get this joker outside of shop, i want it to not shake until you are in a shop

[red flower]

maybe it would be easier to do the opposite and check that the joker is not added during a blind in add_to_deck using not G.GAME.blind.in_blind but idk how your current logic looks like

[red river]

yeah maybe. but then i'll need to take skips into account

[minor magnet]

any idea why my code aint working?

[red flower]

when do you want it to shake/stop

[compact valve]

how do I make a github for my mod

[red flower]

there were recent changes to this, there's now a global variable to check if the last hand one shotted

[red river]

it starts shaking when you enter shop/presumably obtain it during shop, and stop shaking when you skip the first boosterpack in a shop or exit a shop without doing that

[minor magnet]

oh, nice, what's the variable?

[red flower]

check the release notes

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#5-set-up-version-control

[red flower]

ok then you can just use add_to_deck with G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP (not the context like i said before)

[red river]

oh right, i forgot about that function

it works! thank you!

[minor magnet]

i'm looking around and can't find it, do you remember which version?

[wispy falcon]

N', do you know how to scale the soul of a card?

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

no

well not the soul_pos one

i would maybe look at hologram in vanillaremade

[next timber]

is there a context that comes after context.destroy_card and gives access to (whats left of) the played hand?

probably just context.after honestly but might as well check

[wispy falcon]

Gonna do that, thanks

[red flower]

i think it would be context.after but you need to check for the destroyed flag iirc

[wispy falcon]

What does the 'hologram' stand for?

        x = 5, y = 1,
        draw = function(card, scale_mod, rotate_mod)
            card.hover_tilt = card.hover_tilt * 1.5
            card.children.floating_sprite:draw_shader('hologram', nil, card.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil,
                card.children.center, 2 * scale_mod, 2 * rotate_mod)
            card.hover_tilt = card.hover_tilt / 1.5
        end
    },```

[red flower]

the shader

soul_pos normally uses 'dissolve'

[wispy falcon]

So if I replace 'hologram' with 'dissolve', I could test it in game?

Wait, no. I get an error 😅

[willow scroll]

@N how do i specify background color documentation doesnt mention it

[willow scroll]

or i missed it after reading through it twice 💀

[wispy falcon]

Got it working :D

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JokerDisplay/wiki/01.-Joker-Definitions#border

i would recommend checking the vanilla examples in the repo

[willow scroll]

raaah (thank you)

[willow scroll]

i do do that im just stupid 😔

hooray

[wispy falcon]

Does anyone know what the different 'nil' parameters are for in card.children.floating_sprite:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, card.children.center, 5 * scale_mod, 1.5 * rotate_mod)?

[wispy falcon]

How do you have that little window under your joker?

[red flower]

look for Sprite:draw_shader

i think they're for the shadow and the parameters to send to the shader

[willow scroll]

jokerdisplay mod

[wispy falcon]

In the documentation?

[red flower]

no, in the code

[wispy falcon]

What code?

[willow scroll]

the source code of the game

[wispy falcon]

I take it ms, mr, mx and my stand for scale, rotation, x-position and y-position?

[red flower]

yes

[next timber]

how do you add delay to the end of an event again

[faint yacht]

delay(x)

[high verge]

Syntax errors will be the death of me.

[chrome token]

is there a way to make a joker eternal but still sellable? or ig just any way of preventing a card to be destroyed but still be allowed to be sold

[cursive gazelle]

Golla love lua

[cursive gazelle]

I mean you can but do you wanna go through it

[ocean sinew]

hook Card:can_Sell_card

[high verge]

I'm trying to decide whether or not I wanna split up the malverk texture options in my mod for a little more customizability.

Currently I have it in two, one for the cards/enhancers/seals and another for the jokers

[wintry solar]

you should put them all in one

[high verge]

Yeah that's what I originally had

[chrome token]

i've made geometry dash in my mod
couldn't be possibly harder lol

[high verge]

Any chance we'll be getting the documentation for setting up stuff like sleeves through malverk? I'd love to get that set up on there so it can be toggled on and off as well.

[cursive gazelle]

Dope

Can i see ?

[chrome token]

hrmm will look ino that

[chrome token]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1360405409134805124/1410464642752446464/2025-08-28_05-21-13-10.mp4?ex=68b3174f&is=68b1c5cf&hm=069ed391bdbd78cb3a96c25d39e39e64b95e420c261fad733d6f288d436edd9c&

!!

[high verge]

I love it

[wintry solar]

why would you want them not in one pack?

[cursive gazelle]

I’ve seen something similar

[high verge]

Oh I was just debating on it for customization purposes. I like giving people options.

[high verge]

I didn't know you could add a config to a texture pack as well

That's beautiful.

[wintry solar]

it does it by default

[high verge]

By default?

Mine doesn't have that.

Oh it only shows if you apply it

[wintry solar]

yeah you don't need to customise packs that aren't applied

that's because you haven't defined localization for the alttexture objects

[high verge]

Yeah let's get that all nice and setup.

I'm guessing they go under the definitions?

[wintry solar]

it should be explained somewhere on the github iirc

[high verge]

Found it

Descriptions alt texture

Hmm, I must still be doing it wrong it's still giving an error...

        alt_texture={
            hbp_enhancersHELLUVA = {'Test'},
            hbp_jokersHELLUVA = {'Test2'},
            hbp_tarotsHELLUVA = {'Test3'},
            hbp_sealHELLUVA = {'Seals'},
        },
}```

This is within the appropriate spot under return

[grim remnant]

is it possible to make an effect happen everytime a joker or playing card rolls for a random effect (or like. i guess what would i have to hook into to do that.)

[real night]

how do you do "when game over"

like how do i trigger

a thing

when the game is over

[red flower]

yes, see these release notes https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a

[high verge]

Okay so now ironically how would I remove an option from the config. As part of my mod it replaces the names of the tarot cards. Unless there's a way to trigger something else based on malverk options I'd prefer to disable the config option for tarots.

[grim remnant]

also, for some reason, this card's anim borked at some point. i feel like SOME of this is tied to the juice_up call before giving the seal???

[gilded blaze]

set_seal method is put on an event queue by default (used for playing cards created from standard packs)

the same action for consumables doesn't do that; it triggers immediately

[willow scroll]

how can i check if a given joker is compatible with a sticker (aka where can i read a givens joker eternal_compat/perishable_compat)?

because the vanilla stickers instead of the should_apply function just have a boolean of the same name?

[grim remnant]

how could i make it more instant, out of curiosity? rn there is a noticable delay even if i move the events to put the seal-giving thing first

[willow scroll]

give the juice up animation event more delay (when the seal setting is set first)?

actually thats not really a solution one moment

[azure laurel]

hey why does my new suits have this tiny black border?

[willow scroll]

do highlighted:set_seal(SMODS.poll_seal{guaranteed = true}, nil, true), because set_seal takes arguments (_seal, silent, immediate)

[glass blade]

I tried to run balatro mod manager, but it seems there's some file that isn't localised in a .dll file

[azure laurel]

re install it

[high verge]

How can I change the order of the config menu options for a malverk texture pack?

[glass blade]

Helluva balatro?

[high verge]

Yeah 😄

[glass blade]

Omg!

[high verge]

xD

[grim remnant]

i'm also having an issue where playing cards in booster packs count for my one joker that cares for adding enhancements/seals/editions for whatever reason. (and also one i made that uses the same setting_seal effect). weirdly, the big one procs twice when the one that only wants seals procs once? uh. how can i fix that.
if ((context.setting_ability and context.old and not context.unchanged and G.P_CENTERS[context.new].set == "Enhanced") or context.setting_seal or context.setting_edition) and not context.other_card.stla_from_copy and not context.blueprint then

[wild escarp]

How difficult would it be to implement the ability to pull cards, such as the code cards from cryptid?

[ocean sinew]

copy from cryptid

[grim remnant]

still looking for pointers on how to be like "not in a shop" for this. if it helps, this is the code for setting_seal for those that missed that:

function Card:set_seal(_seal, silent, immediate)
    local ret = set_seal_ref(self, _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})
    end
    return ret
end```

[wet crag]

Overwhelmingly peak, I'm afraid.

[dim rune]

Hi, I had a mod idea but I'm a beginner at coding, and I never modded a game before, is there a place where I can find the basics for modding Balatro ? (I've heard about a toolkit for adding jokers but that's not what I wanna do)

[red flower]

check the second pin in #⚙・modding-general it has all the resources to get started

[dim rune]

Oh thanks, I didn't think about checking that chat since after reading #📜・modding-rules I assumed it was not for discussing mod creation 😅

[wild escarp]

idk where the code is

[red flower]

yeah i think the pin should be here haha

[idle ivy]

hello, i´m new in discord (and my englsih is very bad, probably i use the translator)

I started doing it, but I'm suffering from a lack of content on the internet

layman's question: if I ask for a script, can you make it for me or at least the base?

[harsh belfry]

how do i either:
put an inline hex code into loc
or
add an arbitrary colour to whatever table the localization entries access

[grim remnant]

still need some help with this ^^;

[idle ivy]

sorry, did I say something wrong?

[gilded goblet]

I think people can help you write something, they are not going to do it all for you

[idle ivy]

ok, sorry if that sounded a little rude

[gilded goblet]

It wasn't rude, just letting you know

[idle ivy]

So, I was trying to make a joker that gives money when the blind ends according to the selling value of all the wild cards, but I don't know how to do it

How would I make it identify the jokers I have and their selling value?

[viral ember]

I'm stupid woops

[sage crater]

how tf do you use jokerforge lol

[dim rune]

How do I get the game to run a function on startup? (Looked through steamodded's entire documentation, haven't found what I was looking for, and most mods I looked at don't do it because they just add stuff with stuff like SMODS.Edition, SMODS.Consumable etc)

[sage crater]

I'm trying to just to on ante completion, 1 in 8 chance for +1 joker slot and it's confusing me

[red flower]

depends for what

[dim rune]

Isn't there a general case such as an init function?

[red flower]

there are a couple

[dim rune]

What I basically want to do is run a few functions on the game's base jokers

[red flower]

like the vanilla ones?

[dim rune]

Yeah

[red flower]

then you dont need a function

just do it in the main file

I would recommend using take_ownership if you want to modify them tho

[dim rune]

Oh, so I run that bit of code out of a function?

[red flower]

yeah

modded stuff will not all be loaded however

[dim rune]

I never really used lua so idk what is or isn't possible, and I assumed that wasn't

Well for now I want it to work on vanilla Balatro

Once it does maybe I'll try to adapt it to modded jokers

[red flower]

To answer your question there's no SMODS api for that, you need to hook one of the game's/SMODS' start up functions

[dim rune]

Thanks

[grim remnant]

hmm. trying to make a satellite-esque joker but for Emult and i have no clue how to set up the variable. in loc_vars, it can track planets_used just fine, but obviously when it comes time to actual calculation, it crashes.

(what's more, i need to try to figure out how, exactly, to add that if config.showOrigin then t.key = self.key..'_source' end line in so i can have my "showOrigins" text work properly, but since the loc_vars section has no t table for the variables... hmm.)

[daring fern]

card.ability.extra.planets_used doesn't exist.

[grim remnant]

did see that much, though fixing it didn't do much in...well, fixing it.

[daring fern]

Did you start a new run?

[final jewel]

ok I made my voucher works earlier today with Ali but I didn't see that the game crash when I open my pack without the voucher

[grim remnant]

did that. it doesn't crash anymore, but it's also not... doing anything. like, it doesn't score the listed emult whatsoever.

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to put the thing you're doing in loc_vars in calculate

[dim rune]

This is probably a dumb question but I want to be sure I'm not doing stupid stuff, the different sets ("Joker", "Consumable", etc) include both vanilla and modded cards, right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[dim rune]

Thanks

[final jewel]

Am I missing something in the toml section

My guess is that I need a condition to check if I have the voucher but idk how to do that 🤣

[grim remnant]

we have no clue what the heck the problem is here yet get the feeling it's probably staring me in the face and i'm just too tired to even fathom it

okay, at least saw sometihng in vanillaremade, but... again, confusing syntax

[next karma]

trying to figure out to make a cards chip go up the less discards there are

[wild escarp]

How can I get the current chips and mult of a poker hand?

[final jewel]

@faint yacht you were helping me with this earlier

do you know how to fix it

[sonic cedar]

rq how to check current hand size

nvm just remembered carry on

[faint yacht]

+ (G.GAME.giga and G.GAME.giga.vouchers and G.GAME.giga.vouchers.newMenu or 0) and similiar for the other one in patch to check if the table and entry exist, otherwise, use 0.

[final jewel]

Ok ok thx you're the Goat

[grim remnant]

still trying to figure this one out ^^;

[red flower]

same

[final jewel]

I just don't understand ?!?!?

[foggy ginkgo]

Huh

[red flower]

im laughing so hard

[frozen turret]

Can someone guide me in the right direction please

I made a text mod a while ago that works perfectly

I want to now change in game textures to go along with that

Is the process for installing new textures the same as installing the new text

[red flower]

https://github.com/Eremel/Malverk/tree/main ?

[frozen turret]

Maybe, I’d rather not use that if I can get around it

[red flower]

why

[frozen turret]

I have this so far

[frozen turret]

I’m on Mac

[red flower]

and?

[frozen turret]

Life is harder

[red flower]

how

mods work on mac just the same

[frozen turret]

So is the image I sent above wrong?

[red flower]

yes

[frozen turret]

Ok

[faint yacht]

One excess end?

[dim rune]

I just realized this was irrelevant since it should be done once per save file, not everytime I start the game

[frozen turret]

Wait does this work with retexturing the decks?

[grim remnant]

it was like that in the original function from VanillaRemade i'm basing this off. removing it just makes it crash faster, at the start of loc_vars, rather than in calculation.

[red flower]

im pretty sure yes

[grim remnant]

we'll need to cycle back to loc_vars to un-comment the thing that changes the localization to the _source version later, but for now we're trying to get this functioning, and it's currently borked on line 455.

[frozen turret]

Ok thank you so much! I didn’t know this thing existed and it’s not as hard as I thought it would be

[next karma]

anyone have an idea on how to make a card give more chips when you discard a hand?

[daring fern]

How would one make clicks register twice?

[grim remnant]

still stuck on this ^~^;

[daring fern]

Remove the return on that line.

[umbral lichen]

trying to make a joker that retriggers a random joker if the played hand contains a pair, does anyone know a way to do this

i have some code that i made and then had an ai help but it still doesnt retrigger anything

[grim remnant]

now it's mad at the bracket for the actual calculation for some reason?

[lofty elm]

I think you'd do
if context.pre_discard and context.cardarea == G.play then
and then increment your chips value in there

[daring fern]

No, it would just be context.pre_discard

[lofty elm]

oh, im just goin off what the wiki says

sorry lol maybe i shouldnt be tryna help ppl yet

btw do you know how to find things like a jokers sell value

[daring fern]

card.sell_cost

[lofty elm]

tyy

[grim remnant]

this is getting a bit silly here

[daring fern]

You have an extra end on line 454

[grim remnant]

ah, that'd do it. only things now would be that one commented line in loc_vars, as right now, it isn't properly appending _source to the actual localization if config.showOrigin is on. and maybe making it so every time a new planet card is used, the joker has a juice_up anim, but i'm taking this one step at a time here

...yes it does??? it's, part of my mod

if it detects that config, it should instead of checking the ordinary localization (like j_stla_theAliens), it instead uses the localization for j_stla_theAliens_source)

...then how the heck have i been calling it on basically every other joker?

...like, this isn't a rhetorical question, how does this work if config.showOrigin doesn't exist, because config doesn't exist.

...changing it to that causes the config menu to immediately crash the game. no, the solution isn't to make it SMODS.stla.config, that errors out much the same.

...like this?????

which yeah the global variable is "config" and not "SMODS.current_mod" but like. is this not what this is doing?

like, i'm not about to find-and-replace all instances of the "config" global variable into direct calls for SMODS.current_mod unless it turns out that that is absolutely mandatory. that feels a bit excessive.

[daring fern]

In the return you would put key = config.showOrigin and self.key..'_source' or nil

How does one define a new sprite in an atlas for use in other places? I am trying to pull an image from a new atlas image for use in quips.

[daring fern]

What do you mean in quips?

[high verge]

As the image used when a quip is shown.

[daring fern]

You mean the card?

[high verge]

I know how to do the quip part but I'm not sure how to define the new sprite keys.

[grim remnant]

do you mean the message?

(message being the little diamond-and-text thing)

[obtuse wraith]

New image, wat dis?

[high verge]

No. I'm trying to define the image.

[grim remnant]

<-- this would be a message, for instance

[daring fern]

Are you referring to the card?

[high verge]

Yes.

[high verge]

1 of like 5 mods I'm working on xD

[daring fern]

Then you would have to patch where it creates that card and change its sprite to that.

[grim remnant]

also, that worked--now all we'd wanna do is make it so using a new planet card has a juice_up anim and an "Upgraded!" message

[obtuse wraith]

Bet these are your characters that would fit in a RPG.

[versed swan]

How do you grab all cardareas?

[daring fern]

if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Planet" then
    return {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}
end

[high verge]

I don't need to patch that we can replace the card easily with SMODS.JimboQuip{ key = 'asmodeuswin', type = 'win', extra = { center = Asmodeus, particle_colours = { HEX("d80007"), HEX("f5d985"), G.C.BLACK }, materialize_colours = { HEX("d80007"), HEX("f5d985"), G.C.BLACK} }, sound = 'voice11'}

[daring fern]

G.I.CARDAREA

[versed swan]

thank you

[daring fern]

No, you do have to patch that.

[high verge]

Asmodeus refers to c_sun

[high verge]

?

[daring fern]

Yes, but to change the sprite you have to patch it.

[high verge]

I'm a bit confused, are you referring to a different thing?

[grim remnant]

it still does the anim even if it's a planet card that's previously been played. :o

[high verge]

I didn't need to add any patches to change it to c_chariot.

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[high verge]

You don't need a patch to show a different image there. I just need to learn how say c_chariot is defined.

[daring fern]

Yes, you do.

[high verge]

Then how am I doing it without a patch..?

[daring fern]

You're not, you're changing the center.

[high verge]

How do I define a center then

[daring fern]

No, if you want to change the sprite, you have to patch.

[high verge]

Is sprite a different thing?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[high verge]

Then forget about sprites.

How do I define a new center?

[daring fern]

I don't understand your goal.

[high verge]

I want one of these floating heads to show up when I do a quip

[daring fern]

Then you need to patch, to change the sprite.

[high verge]

Alright then how do I patch?

Last time we tried to do a patch it didn't work.

[thick drift]

So, I made a bit of code to prevent Ectoplasm from targeting a group of jokers I created (potion jokers). It's a modified version of what was implemented in the VanillaRemade. For some reason, it seems to only say that the card can be used when the leftmost joker either: 1) is not a potion joker, or 2) it has no edition applied to it. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

    can_use = function (self, card)
        local editionless_jokers = SMODS.Edition:get_edition_cards(G.jokers, true)
        local no_potion = {}
        local flag = false
        for _, j in ipairs(editionless_jokers) do
            for _, k in ipairs(POTIONS) do
                if j.config.center_key == k then
                    flag = true
                    break
                end
            end
            if not flag then
                no_potion[#no_potion+1] = j
                flag = false
            end
        end
        return next(no_potion)
    end
})```

[daring fern]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-patch

[grim remnant]

no, the solution to making this only happen when it's a new planet was not, in fact, to put the return {message = yaddayadda} into the for loop. (at least, not in the way i did it. i feel like this is close to working, but um. Yeah I'm Missing Something Here Clearly ;P)

        for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.consumeable_usage) do
            if v.set == 'Planet' then planets_used = planets_used + 1 end
            card.ability.extra.Emult = ((planets_used * card.ability.extra.scaler) + card.ability.extra.base)
            return {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}
        end```

[daring fern]

if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Planet" then
    for k, v in pairs(G.GAME.consumeable_usage) do
        if v.count > 0 and k == context.consumeable.config.center.key then
            return nil
        end
    end
    return {message = localize('k_upgrade_ex')}
end

[grim remnant]

now it's not doing the upgrade anim at all... weird.

[thick drift]

is this supposed to work like Satellite?

[grim remnant]

yeah, it's like satellite

every time a unique planet card is used, it scales. the scaling part works, but the problem is. giving it actual feedback that "yeah it's upgraded"

atm you kinda just have to Know it does that.

[daring fern]

Yes, but Satellite doesn't have a message.

[thick drift]

it might be a case that by the time the consumable is being inspected, it's already been added to the table

[grim remnant]

true, but also it gives cash at the end of round, while this is a bit more tactile than that

[thick drift]

try setting v.count > 1

[cyan lagoon]

heya, how can i stop this from juicing when there's nothing to retrigger?

[daring fern]

Remove the first event and card = context.other_card

[cyan lagoon]

and it's gonna juice both the card and the joker, right?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[cyan lagoon]

nope. the text is on the joker now

[cyan lagoon]

i meant the text and juice the card

and just juice the joker

[daring fern]

Add message_card = context.other_card and juice_card = card to the return

[cyan lagoon]

alright

yup, there it is. thank you

[thick drift]

did my suggestion for the planet stuff work?

[daring fern]

‎

[high verge]

Got distracted. Learned about card seals.

Why not.

[robust marsh]

I'm trying to make it so my consumable grants a selection between 2 jokers under a certain condition, maybe as a separate UI? I'm not expecting this handed to me on a silver platter but I was wondering if anyone knows a mod that has this functionality.

[unborn smelt]

for advanced UI stuff joyous spring is probably the place to look
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/

but its probably easier to create a booster for your needs that you can get from your consumable, I think

[robust marsh]

that's actually a lot smarter than what I had in mind

ty

[high verge]

Alright now I have some pretty stickers seals

How do I make a joker never spawn? Just found a jank way create a sprite

[robust marsh]

G.GAME.banned_keys["j_[modprefix]_key"] = true
You wouldn't need the mod prefix if it's a vanilla joker but yeah

[daring fern]

in_pool = function(self) return false end

[high verge]

Thanks I was about to bang my head against trying to make a custom rarity of 0.0 xD

So using this I'll just make a handful of fake jokers, no collection them, and set them to not spawn.

Them boom easy peasy "sprites" for the quips

[robust marsh]

would anyone know how do something like the fool but for jokers? I just want it to record a highlighted joker's key when used and that's all it has to do

[daring fern]

G.GAME.modprefix_joker = card.config.center.key

[high verge]

Ignore the helluva particles let's goooo.

[civic talon]

hey, apologies if this is bothersome, but i'm experiencing a problem that i believe requires a specifically made mod to fix. the game keeps on crashing without producing an error screen when it tries to save my game (after i play a hand, after i reroll, etc.) which is probably due to the fact that i have 2500 double tags and my save file is over 150kb. i already looked around to see if there was a mod that could help reduce the save file size, and the only one i found didn't optimize double tags at all, meaning it didn't fix the problem. please let me know if you can help me out here.

[daring fern]

https://github.com/TaiAurori/Stopgap

[civic talon]

i already tried that, and as mentioned it didn’t help

[daring fern]

Then your save file is unfixable.

[civic talon]

bummer

well, thanks for trying to help

[rotund sable]

-# if you don't describe the issue nobody will help, what are we supposed to do with the information that your mod (you can't be more generic) doesn't work

[wispy falcon]

How do I add a little window next to a card/description?

[rotund sable]

You mean like for example the Red seal window next to deja Vu?

[wispy falcon]

Yes, I think so

[rotund sable]

info_queue in loc_vars then

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[daring fern]

There's probably a better way, but I just created a fake card and changed its position.

[wispy falcon]

For custom ones too?

[rotund sable]

Yeah

It should work

[wispy falcon]

Okay and how do I make custom ones? Like where do I write them?

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src%2Fjokers.lua#L4739

There's also this way

[rotund sable]

In the loc_vars

[wispy falcon]

So I would write info_queue[#info_queue+1] = "Some Text" instead of info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_stone?

[rotund sable]

I think you would need an entry in the localisation files for that

[willow scroll]

if you want to do it "properly" you make a localization/default.luawhere among other fields you have descriptions = { Other = { green_seal = {[name and text]} } } and then for the info queue info_queue[#info_queue+1] = localize('green_seal')

(green seal is an example key here)

something a la this

[wispy falcon]

Okay, thank y'all

[willow scroll]

though it doesnt have to go into descriptions/Other if the thing youre putting into the info queue already has an existing description, then you just call that key iirc

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization has more info and a list of fields for descriptions

[frail parcel]

how do i increase amount of shop slots?

[wispy falcon]

If I do that and the info_queue[#info_queue+1] = localize('my_thingy') then it just shows ERROR in the description window

See?

[willow scroll]

gimme quickly how your localization lua looks

[wispy falcon]

The whole file?

[willow scroll]

just the important part

[wispy falcon]

I have idea_credits = { name = "{C:green}Idea:", text = { "{C:purple}TheDogVT (Twitch)" }, },

in the Other = {} part of descriptions and info_queue[#info_queue+1] = localize('idea_credits') in the loc_vars of the joker

[willow scroll]

Other itself is inside descriptions = {}, right?

[wispy falcon]

Yes

[willow scroll]

and the default lua file is correctly placed, right?

[wispy falcon]

Well, all things in my localization file work so yes

[willow scroll]

then i dont know 😔 sorry but i gtg to work

gl with the problem

[wispy falcon]

It's okay, thank you anyways :3

[daring fern]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {set = "Other", key = "idea_credits"}

[wispy falcon]

That fixed it, thank you. What is the difference between them though?

[daring fern]

localize would return 'ERROR'

[wispy falcon]

Because localize is for something from the main code of Balatro?

[daring fern]

No, the problem is, localize doesn't do what you want here.

[crimson dune]

I am currently trying to decouple my mod from being dependent on Cryptid, but I have trouble with one of my Jokers; the mult/chip bonus is not saving at all whenever a hand level is levelled up afterwards and reverts to the usual hand mult and chips for that level. This is supposed to be a slightly weaker but more specific and scalable version of Universium, but for planet cards held in hand. This is part of my existing code responsible for levelling up:

function exponentLevelExtra(hand,exponent,v,instant)
    --print("g")
    if not instant and (not Talisman or not  Talisman.config_file.disable_anims) then
        update_hand_text(
            { sound = "button", volume = 0.7, pitch = 0.8, delay = 0.3 },
            {
                handname = localize(hand, 'poker_hands'),
                chips = G.GAME.hands[hand].chips,
                mult = G.GAME.hands[hand].mult,
                level = G.GAME.hands[hand].level
            }
        )
    end
    G.GAME.hands[hand].mult = G.GAME.hands[hand].mult*exponent
    G.GAME.hands[hand].chips = G.GAME.hands[hand].chips*exponent
    if not instant and (not Talisman or not Talisman.config_file.disable_anims) then
        delay(0.1)
        update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {mult = G.GAME.hands[hand].mult, StatusText = true})
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = "after",
            func = function()
                play_sound("multhit2")
                v:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
                return true
            end,
        }))
        delay(0.1)
        update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chips = G.GAME.hands[hand].chips, StatusText = true})
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = "after",
            func = function()
                play_sound("xchips")
                v:juice_up(0.8, 0.5)
                return true
            end,
        }))
    end
end

Any ways for hand levelups to save existing mult/chip bonuses?

[daring fern]

But it would still return 'ERROR'

Morning

while i was sleeping, i had a dream where i was playing with my lgbt mod

and came up with an idea

[crimson dune]

thanks

[cursive gazelle]

Cool

[agile path]

is it possible to make a scalling joker that does the following

[cursive gazelle]

I give up on understanding lovely patches

[red flower]

lovely patches are really easy wdym

[agile path]

starts at 0 chips
playing specific hands upgrades it
playing other hands downgrade it
at reaching a certain amount of chips, it doesn't scale up anymore but it remains at a certain level

[cursive gazelle]

Where are the docs

I can’t find anything

[red flower]

the lovely readme

there's faq for it in the vanillaremade wiki too

[red flower]

doesn't look hard

[agile path]

i think i can do it

it's just a bunch of ifs and elses no?

[red flower]

that's most of programming yes haha

[agile path]

i can look at the code of the scaling blahaj i made

[cursive gazelle]

Very possible

[agile path]

can i also add a custom variable to it?
playing x hands levels variable by 1, playing y hands downgrades variable by 1
once variable reaches a certain level, it doesn't scale down or up but remains there

[manic rune]

is it possible to change the color of a node thats already in an UIBox

[red flower]

yes

this is an example from my mod

[manic rune]

anyone knows wheres the code that adds the outlines on buttons when ur using controllers 🤔

i tried using recalculate for changing the color of the button but it doesnt work sadly

[frigid elm]

could be a stretch, but it could be mentioned somewhere in Controller.lua

it handles keyboard mouse events, so my best bet is that it also handles controller related events too

im just guessin tho

[narrow merlin]

Yeah I don't really understand the select_music_track thing, and how would I use the replace thing to have them replace the normal music @red flower

i tried putting delay(1.0) at the end of an event to make it hold at the end before doing anything, but that did nothing, and i tried increasing the delay variable of the event, but that made the start longer. how do i make it hold on the end longer? do i have to start an empty event with a long delay?

[agile path]

my point is, i already know these things

i just never made a chip joker, so i am not very familiar with it

[cursive gazelle]

It’s just chips instead of mult

Literally the same

[agile path]

but is chips_gain valid?

[red flower]

just return a high number

[robust marsh]

I've tried tampering with it some more, that helped thank you :)

[cursive gazelle]

Chips_gain is a variable

[agile path]

so... goes in loc_var

[cursive gazelle]

You can name it anything if it’s in your config

As long as you use it properly

Loc_vars returns the variables to be displayed in loc_txt

[narrow merlin]

How would I have the music only play at one hand then?

[red flower]

check if hands left is 1, check how the vanilla jokers do it

[agile path]

@cursive gazelle

    key = "pride_parade1",
    atlas = 'pride_parade',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    rarity = 2,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    cost = 5,
    config = { extra = { chips = 0}, },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.chips} }
    end,
        
            
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and (context.scoring_name == "Pair") and not context.blueprint  then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + 4
            return{
            message = localize("+4!"),
            colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

uiboxes can be juiced up right

[cursive gazelle]

You need to fire a flag to SMODS.music to replace background music i think

Or can you call it in joker code ?

Idk

[cursive gazelle]

What ?

[frigid elm]

I'm guessing they're asking if hover ui can be juiced up like jokers

[cursive gazelle]

Sounds about right

Idk about the localize tho

[agile path]

i'll have to change that soon

[manic rune]

i was wondering if i can just call :juice_up()

[agile path]

plus, this is from a different joker, so the localize in that joker works well

[frigid elm]

why not just test that

[cursive gazelle]

Oh cool

[manic rune]

since i dont see function UIBox:juice_up

[cursive gazelle]

I never knew this existed lol

[frigid elm]

they prolly use a different function for it then

[manic rune]

doesnt really seem like theres any that would juice up the uibox

[frigid elm]

are UIBoxes defined as Centers tho or?

[wintry solar]

you can just call :juice_up on them bepis

[red cradle]

where is Tarot?

[manic rune]

:3 i see

[cursive gazelle]

Bepis you need to show me how that looks like

[frigid elm]

same here\

[cursive gazelle]

{C:tarot)

[red cradle]

oh

i see

)

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[narrow merlin]

How does this look?

[red cradle]

thanks

[frigid elm]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling i liked referring to this part of the wiki :D

[cursive gazelle]

They know how to style they just typed a ) instead of }

[frigid elm]

whenever i wanna do certain colors i just cv from it

oh

[red cradle]

silly me)

[manic rune]

.

oh

its UIElement, not UIBox

fml

[frigid elm]

tbh coding in lua is kinda confusing like

theres functions that are typed like localise{} but also use the standard ease_dollars()

[red cradle]

true

[cursive gazelle]

I was also confused

[red flower]

good, 2 things: the return should be [condition] and 1000000 or false or something like that, you need to return a big number
the key should also contain the word "music" in it

[manic rune]

<@&1133519078540185692>

wait how do i get to a specific node from an UIBox 🤔

[red flower]

if the only argument is a table or string you can omit the ()

[red flower]

get UIE by ID or whatever that function is called

[manic rune]

ic

thank

[narrow merlin]

How would I check if it is a non boss blind

[red flower]

not G.GAME.blind.boss

[next timber]

bump

[cursive gazelle]

[narrow merlin]

This good?

[red flower]

yeah

[narrow merlin]

Yay!

[next timber]

[red flower]

[narrow merlin]

Imma check it soon
