Of the delay

[next timber]

which delay, the delay of the event or a delay()

i tried both and neither worked for me

[agile path]

so, is it possible to do localize("string1" + "string2),

probably not right

[frigid elm]

the best way for me is actually "string1".."string2"

it just does it

[agile path]

two dots?

[red flower]

concatenation is .. yes

[unkempt thicket]

Whats the card area for deck skins?

[frigid elm]

tho if you want a space in between, that's "string1".." ".."string2"

[agile path]

say i want to make this

"string1" would be the number gain
"string2" is " more people joined in"

that string1 is a number that doesn't remain constant
would i need an if else for every different hand type?

so for example
i play a pair it says "4 people joined in"

if i play a 3oak, it says "8 people joined in" and so on

i can just hardcode every single hand type lmfao

but i'm trying to explore different options

[red flower]

you should save the number to a variable first

or make a lookup table

[agile path]

in config?

[frigid elm]

yeah, and you can just concatenate that variable into that string

[red flower]

it can be a local, it depends on what your logic is

[agile path]

so, chip_gain for example?

and change that chip_gain after each hand is played to then display on the string

[red flower]

you can do card.ability.extra.chip_gain.. "text"

[narrow merlin]

Grrr

[agile path]

i'll try that

[red flower]

yeah you need to check youre in a run then

[narrow merlin]

How :3

[agile path]

config = { extra = { chips = 0, chip_gain = 0}, },

like so?

[red flower]

add G.GAME.blind and at the beginning of your returns

[frigid elm]

wait does the mod name imply it changes the music to an epic theme song every time it's predicted that you're completely destroying the blind in one hand?

[narrow merlin]

When u have 1 hand left

Music is fast

Waow

[frigid elm]

oh

you should implement that idea then too lol

[agile path]

@narrow merlin i like your pronouns lmfao

[narrow merlin]

I am relatively gay, as you can see from them :3

[agile path]

same

source: my gf

[cursive gazelle]

What’s going on in my modding dev

[narrow merlin]

Grrr

[agile path]

 if context.before and (context.scoring_name == "Pair") and not context.blueprint  then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + 4
            card.ability.extra.chip_gain = card.ability.extra.chip_gain == 4
            return{
            message = localize("pride_upgrade"),
            colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }
        end

ignore the message part, i'm sorting the code still lol

[frigid elm]

sound prolly doesnt exist ingame i thinks

[red flower]

yeah i think the path is probably wrong

[narrow merlin]

I'll fix

They in a folder called assets, so how would I write path

[agile path]

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
            card.ability.extra.chip_gain = card.ability.extra.chip_gain == 4
            return{
            message = localize("card.ability.extra.chip_gain".."   ".."pride_upgrade"),
            colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
    end

in the game, (it didn't crash) but it said ERROR lmfao, fuck you jimbo

[red flower]

is it in assets/sounds/music1.ogg

[narrow merlin]

So I need to put them in a sounds folder too?

[red flower]

yes

[frigid elm]

and make sure it's sounds, not sound. hehe

[narrow merlin]

I said sounds?

[red flower]

message = card.ability.extra.chip_gain .. localize("pride_upgrade"), assuming pride_upgrade is in your localization file

[frigid elm]

it's a small mistake but it's one that's gone unnoticed for the longest time when i was initially implementing sound to experiment with stuff

[agile path]

It is
I can show you my localization file, just to make sure

[agile path]

Ahhh, i see what i did wrong

Oops, sorry for the double reply

[red flower]

tis fine

[narrow merlin]

I copied it off dusk

[frigid elm]

the keys are the exact same

[agile path]

I understand now
Localize() is for strings, extra numbers need to be added outside yeah?

Cause they're not strings

[frigid elm]

tho idk if that's important in this context

[agile path]

Message= will convert everything inside into a string, yeah?

[red flower]

current_round singular

[red flower]

no, but concatenating a number turns it into a string

[agile path]

Oh, i didn't know that

Interesting

[narrow merlin]

Tyy

[red flower]

also no, localize is to fetch from the localization keys

[agile path]

In the localization file

[red flower]

yes

[agile path]

En-us

[red flower]

yeah

[agile path]

Wait, so i can make several different loc files for different languages?

And they automatically pull from the right one?

[red flower]

yeah thats what theyre for haha

[agile path]

Time to ask Russian gf to translate everything

And use my Portuguese side of things to translate to Portuguese

[red flower]

anything not translated will be taken from english by default as well

[agile path]

That's really cool

Hence why it's not a good idea to write the "upgrade" texts in the joker code

[red flower]

yeah

[frigid elm]

it's also handy dandy for localizing variables like +15 mult

[red flower]

:3

[frigid elm]

heck, i even made my own localized variable called +#1# Odds and it's just easy as throwing in an extra line into a certain area im forgetting the name of atm

[agile path]

Can't wait to see blahaj say "ыжалк :3" instead of "Splash :3"

[narrow merlin]

Fsr the boss blind one only works after beating it

@red flower

[agile path]

Beats the plant

Fast music starts playing

"...is that... Phase 2 plant?!"

[narrow merlin]

Tbh boss blind phases would be funni

[agile path]

I might do that once i get better

For my soulslatro mod

[red flower]

weird

[slim ferry]

play entropy..

[narrow merlin]

Idk wym bud

[slim ferry]

entropy has a boss with phases

[red flower]

play lobotomy corporation

[slim ferry]

the mod

[narrow merlin]

You play it

[agile path]

@red flower

message = card.ability.extra.chip_gain .. localize("pride_upgrade"),

[slim ferry]

what does your joker config look like

[agile path]

i missed a =

chip_gain = 0 instead of ==0

i assume

[slim ferry]

chip_gain == 0 returns a boolean

thats just a comparison

[agile path]

what about = 0

[slim ferry]

=0 sets it to 0

[agile path]

config = { extra = { chips = 0, chip_gain = 0}, },

[slim ferry]

whats the joker calculate then

because somewhere chip_gain is becoming a boolean

[narrow merlin]

Okay, it's midnight, modding balatro was so yesterday, gn y'all

[agile path]

        if context.before and (context.scoring_name == "Pair") and not context.blueprint  then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + 4
            card.ability.extra.chip_gain = card.ability.extra.chip_gain == 4
            return{
            message = card.ability.extra.chip_gain .. localize("pride_upgrade"),
            colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips
            }
        end
    end```

OOPS

i saw

lmfao

==4 lmfao

fuck is this

[slim ferry]

== instead of + is certainly something

[agile path]

exactly

lmfao

but the issue is

that number isn't constant

i want to set it to 4, not add 4

[cursive gazelle]

=4

[slim ferry]

yeah

or just make it 4 to begin with in the config since you arent changing it anywhere else

[agile path]

it's giving me an error i think

[cursive gazelle]

[agile path]

this will change depending on the hand played

[slim ferry]

oh i see

[agile path]

see, why's it red D:

[slim ferry]

you could just like make a table in the config of hand types and their respective chip gains

can i see the whole line

[red flower]

im guessing you have two = that line

[agile path]

how do i do that? i have never done that

[slim ferry]

you can make any number of tables in your config

[agile path]

card.ability.extra.chip_gain = card.ability.extra.chip_gain = 4

this is what i have

[slim ferry]

just card.ability.extra.chip_gain = 4

[red flower]

you cant assign twice in one line

[agile path]

if context.before and (context.scoring_name == "Pair") and not context.blueprint  then
            card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + 4
            card.ability.extra.chip_gain = card.ability.extra.chip_gain = 4
            return{
            message = card.ability.extra.chip_gain .. localize("pride_upgrade"),
            colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }
        end

this is the whole thing

[narrow merlin]

Misterprint and Mxprint when?

[cursive gazelle]

It’s just card.ability.extra.chip_gain=4,

[agile path]

yup, that's what i did

[robust marsh]

how could I make it so a sticker is applied to a random joker at the end of each round? I guess I can put it under context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual alongside pseudorandom but that's as much as I'd know. Not sure how I can apply a sticker just like that

[red flower]

card.ability.extra.chip_gain = card.ability.extra.chip_gain = 4 bad
card.ability.extra.chip_gain = 4 good

[agile path]

the one on the top is using for math?

say chips = chips + 4

[red flower]

yes

[red flower]

what is applying the sticker

[robust marsh]

the deck itself

[agile path]

it works, nice
thank you!

[red flower]

you can probably do pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Stickers,"seed") to get a random one

or SMODS.Sticker.obj_buffer

one of the two

[narrow merlin]

Thinking of later making Misterprint (random chips) and Mxprint (Random x mult)

[robust marsh]

I mostly wanted it to apply a specific one to one of the jokers, which it would choose with pseudorandom

[red flower]

ohh

[slim ferry]

pseudoranom_element(G.jokers.cards,"seed") i imagine?

to get a random joker

[red flower]

you can use pseudorandom element on G.joker.cards then and then do joker:add_sticker("key", true)

[robust marsh]

alright

thank you !

[narrow merlin]

@red flower is this good idea?

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah

That’s cool

[red flower]

im bad at ideas

im only good at code

[slim ferry]

type shit

[agile path]

call me Sanji, with how good i'm cooking

[willow scroll]

Speaking of stickers what's the way to check if a sticker is compatible with a joker (ignoring stake difficulties)?

[hallow slate]

Is there any quantum rank support rn?

[agile path]

wouldn't it be eternal_compat = true, for example?

[zealous glen]

Does the wiki page for SMODS.Sticker say anything

[hidden notch]

My Textures have this weird Black Outline and I can't figure out ... why xwx!?

[zealous glen]

Aseprite?

[hidden notch]

Nope

[daring fern]

No.

[hidden notch]

I'm using the Raw brutality of Paint

[zealous glen]

Does your image editing software support saving non-black transparent pixels?

[hallow slate]

Aww man. I'll try making some for the time being then

[hidden notch]

.. Hmm, I see x'3

[zealous glen]

The main issue for SMODS is Straight calculation

[zealous glen]

If you used Aseprite I’d know an easy fix

[daring fern]

Yes, but there is a pull request to SMODS that does that.

[zealous glen]

I remember long discussions about the topic, but not necessarily a move towards implementing it

I know people have implemented stuff

But there was still pushback against merging

I didn’t see much progress but I haven’t looked at it in a while

What’s the current status?

[red flower]

the current PR is supposedly finished but i didnt see people testing it

[agile path]

what are the hand names?
"Three of a kind" or Three of a Kind" 💀
like, how specific do i have to be

[hallow slate]

Three of a Kind

[red flower]

it needs to be specific

[agile path]

Pair
Three of a Kind
Four of a Kind
Five of a Kind
Two Pair
Full House
Flush House
Flush Five
Straight
Straight Flush

?

thank you

[cursive gazelle]

Thanks you and ? Aren’t valid hands

[red flower]

u arent a valid hand

[willow scroll]

There is a mention of SMODS.Sticker:should_apply() but I couldn't get it to work

[zealous glen]

What did you try

[willow scroll]

How would I read that for a given joker

[willow scroll]

SMODS.Sticker:should_add(SMODS.Stickers['eternal'], card, card.children.center, card.area, true) or smth like that

It kept returning nil

I think I tried both true and false for the bypass

[agile path]

chat, stupid question but

[willow scroll]

Or atleast this was my test attempt

[zealous glen]

You’re doing it wrong

[willow scroll]

Damnit

[zealous glen]

Class.method denotes that the method is available to instances of Class

[agile path]

if context.joker_main then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                xchips = card.ability.extra.max_level
            }
        end

can i have two context.joker_main?
either triggering one or the other

[zealous glen]

So you want to do instance.method

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

With pseudorandom

Or math.random if you don’t care about seeds

[willow scroll]

But when I did it for local sticker = SMODS.Stickers['eternal']; sticker:should_apply() it would complain and say that should apply is a boolean

[red flower]

not if you return, you either need to combine the returns or use SMODS.calculate_effect

[zealous glen]

The terminology might be slightly incorrect, but the point is that instances of the class define their own version of the method

[cursive gazelle]

They want to either trigger xchips or chips

[agile path]

no

[zealous glen]

That seems correct

[cursive gazelle]

What

[zealous glen]

Why wouldn’t it be a boolean?

[cursive gazelle]

That’s literally what you said lmao

[willow scroll]

Anyhow gtg I'll ask again later

[agile path]

i probably didn't explain correctly

[willow scroll]

As in there was no function should apply

[red flower]

thats not what they were asking tho

[cursive gazelle]

You want +chips then xchips ?

[agile path]

xchips only triggers if a condition has been met

[zealous glen]

I think maybe you misinterpreted the output

[agile path]

hence why i asked if i could have two joker main

[zealous glen]

It’s hard to tell without seeing the error

[red flower]

just check card.config.center.eternal_compat

[zealous glen]

Oh do the vanilla ones operate differently so the Class allows the entry to be a Boolean?

[willow scroll]

There it is tysm ❤️

[red flower]

probably

[zealous glen]

If so that’s kind of an odd implementation

[red flower]

what do you need it for btw

[agile path]

can i do something like

if context.joker_main and (insert check if a variable equals something) then

[red flower]

yes

[zealous glen]

Depending on the check I recommend just splitting the conditional

[red flower]

i dont

[zealous glen]

Legibility though

What if you have 10,000,000,000 conditions

[red flower]

more identation makes it more illegible

[agile path]

if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.max_level == 1 then

this?

[red flower]

yes

[cursive gazelle]

What if you have 1 condition but 10,000,000,000 repetitions

[rocky plaza]

then those many conditions should be put in a helper function

[red flower]

true

[cursive gazelle]

[zealous glen]

I mean they still need to exist somewhere

[cursive gazelle]

Why do you have that many conditions to begin with

[zealous glen]

The conditions being inside the helper function or in the original are still taking space somewhere

[zealous glen]

You need to check if a number is even or odd

[red flower]

but then you wouldnt have nested conditions

[zealous glen]

You would inside the helper function

[red flower]

not if you do it correctly

[rocky plaza]

and besides if all the conditions need to be true you can group them into multiple helper funcs

if it is really that bad

but if you need more than 5-6 conditions either your card is a tad bit too specific or there's a better way to do it

[agile path]

if card.ability.extra.chips >= 250 then
            return {
                card.ability.extra.max_level == 1
            }
        end

i want it to check if the chips you're getting is 250 or more. if so, the extra xchips buff activates

[zealous glen]

I disagree, sometimes you need to check things exist

[red flower]

you would either 1) have the conditions directly in the return, 2) have multiple helpers and/or 3) make the conditions return early

[zealous glen]

That can be easily two or three checks depending on how many nested tables you’re dealing with

[agile path]

max_level is either a yes or a no

[red flower]

(table.field or {}).value my beloved

[zealous glen]

I mean YMMV if that’s more legible or not

[red flower]

i dont understand the return here

[agile path]

should it be = 1?

[red flower]

no

[zealous glen]

I think it doesn’t make sense for what you’re trying to do

[agile path]

this whole == and = confuses me D,:

[red flower]

what should it do

[zealous glen]

I’d be something like xChips = value

[red flower]

its not a case of = or ==

[willow scroll]

The equivalent of poll_sticker

[agile path]

you gain chips everytime you gepplay certain hands

[willow scroll]

Because poll sticker doesn't exist

[zealous glen]

Equality test and assignment

[red flower]

pr it to smods when ur done :3

[zealous glen]

You can read = as “gets” or “is assigned”

[agile path]

if the total chips surpass 250, then it turns max_level from 0 to 1 and you get an extra xchips

 -- final joker calculations
        if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.max_level == 0 then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.max_level == 1 then
            return {
                chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
                xchips = 1.15
            }
        end

hence why i have these

[red flower]

if card.ability.extra.chips >= 250 then
  card.ability.extra.max_level = 1
end

this?

[rocky plaza]

wait thats actually a pretty cool usage of lua's or operator lmao

[agile path]

yes

[zealous glen]

This makes a bit more sense

Do you want the max level to be set without the bonus being granted?

[zealous glen]

I agree but I think it’s less legible to the average user

[red flower]

i agree

[rocky plaza]

fair

[willow scroll]

Maybe but I think card:add_sticker would need fixing first for that

[zealous glen]

Oh also

[red flower]

why

whats wrong with it

[zealous glen]

Another reason I split conditions is to define variables

[willow scroll]

It can't apply vanilla stickers without the override

[zealous glen]

Because I might need those variables after the conditional anyways

[willow scroll]

Because it looks for should_apply

The functiom

[red flower]

oh yeah

[red flower]

in that case yes

[agile path]

what a fucking mess

seems more organized than my desk tho

[red flower]

this is a good case for nested conditions haha

[hidden notch]

Alright, hit me up, what's the easy fix? x3

[agile path]

but does it look good? xD

[red flower]

dunno im not reading all that :3

im going to make lunch

[zealous glen]

Aseprite can export in 200% size, which introduces the same issue. The fix is to manually scale the canvas 200% and export in 100%

[hidden notch]

I hopoe it's tasty :3

[agile path]

damn, adhd brain was too much for N D:

[zealous glen]

I should make lunch too @_@

[agile path]

have a good lunch!

[willow scroll]

So yeah I'll look into a fox when I'm home from work

Fix

[hidden notch]

Huh.. That's a weird one but aigh't, I'll try that x3

[rotund sable]

Casual coding while at work

[hidden notch]

Why in gods name does that work!?
THANK YOU!

[slim ferry]

exporting at 200% shouldnt have that issue, i always just export and transparency works just fine

[agile path]

i have the debug mod. is there any way to add cards to hand?

[slim ferry]

you cant add cards but you can cycle suits/ranks/enhancement/seal/edition of hovered cards with hotkeys

[zealous glen]

I mean every other Balatro modder I’ve seen encountered this issue

[slim ferry]

thats very strange

[zealous glen]

I don’t think you can add specific cards from your deck but you can have infinite discards and I think you can copy cards too

[hidden notch]

Ay but now the Issue goes the opposite way.. The white is bleeding into the Texture owo'

[agile path]

how?

[zealous glen]

Which one

Holding tab should explain everything anyways

[agile path]

copy. i only use the "3" to add jokers

oh, i didn't know this. thank you

[zealous glen]

What do you mean

[zealous glen]

CTRL+C

[zealous glen]

What visual settings do you have in Balatro?

[slim ferry]

idk

but looking at the 2x asset files in vscode

[zealous glen]

This isn’t an issue with the export

It’s an issue with how Balatro renders the art

[slim ferry]

?

[zealous glen]

Well, there’s a minor issue with the export, but it doesn’t matter 99% of the time

[slim ferry]

you literally said exporting introduces the same issue

[hidden notch]

Left is my Texture, Right is Vanilla
There's a very slight white-bleed
In this case it wouldn't be that bad but with lighter colors it gets really bad x'3

[zealous glen]

The blurry grey aura happens inside Balatro

But it happens because of an “issue” when Aseprite exports at 200% scale

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure I can see it

[slim ferry]

and what is that "issue"?

[zealous glen]

Black transparent pixels

Aseprite doesn’t save the color of transparent pixels, or it sets their color to black when exporting at higher size

[slim ferry]

oh so #00000000 causes bleed but #FFFFFF00 doesnt

[zealous glen]

I think both would bleed but differently

White versus black bleed

[median rose]

Hi, just wanted clarification of rule 3 "Do not debug source code" #📜・modding-rules message . Does that mean it's against the rules to look at the source code with a decompoiler tool. I understand part of the reason is to not pirate the game, but I'm curious how else you would get understanding of the code in order to make a mod

[zealous glen]

I’m not sure

[slim ferry]

i mean the first time i did 2x assets i tried to increase canvas size but that doesnt give me the option to not use some upscaling algortihm

[zealous glen]

Unzip

[slim ferry]

youre allowed to look into the source code

just not distribute/discuss edits of it

[zealous glen]

Well I recommend copying the EXE then unzipping the copy

[slim ferry]

extracting with 7zip leaves the original

[zealous glen]

In Aseprite it does

[slim ferry]

i use aseprite thouggh

[zealous glen]

I think it’s nearest neighbor the one without* interpolation

[slim ferry]

nearest neighbor is still an upscaling algorithm though

that still does wierd stuff

[zealous glen]

I mean some algorithm is needed to fill in empty pixels

Nearest neighbor is the one that does what you want

It’s not weird

[agile path]

chat, it all works perfectly

[zealous glen]

“Upscale without interpolation” is just nearest neighbor

[agile path]

thank you so much

why don't you use a tool to upscale it? i do and it works just fine

[zealous glen]

Aseprite can do it

[agile path]

https://lospec.com/pixel-art-scaler

change it to 200% and done

[zealous glen]

Just try it next time

You’ll see

[robust marsh]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local pool = {}
    for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
        if joker ~= card then
            table.insert(pool, joker)
        end
    end


    if context.end_of_round and not context.repetition and not context.individual then
        if #pool > 0 then
            local selected_joker = pseudorandom_element(pool, card.key)

            if selected_joker then
                selected_joker:add_sticker("tdec_Eroding", true)
            end
        end
    end
end

I'm definitely messing something up majorly but I have no clue what exactly

[carmine kiln]

How does an enhancement even check if the score is on fire?
The only thing working here is the Xchips

[slim ferry]

is the entirety of a blind's config stored in .config.blind?

[red flower]

.config.blind.config i think

it should be saved to G.GAME.blind.effect now as well

[red flower]

destroy_card and after dont happen at the same time

[median rose]

I guess that means, that streaming on twitch is out of the question :(

[slim ferry]

just put the game code on a different monitor

if you have one

[crisp coral]

it means don't send code to local to fix bugs

[cursive gazelle]

You can extract the files and look at them but editing the source code is prohibited

[red flower]

wdym editing

[cursive gazelle]

Editing the src and compiling it back

[red flower]

i mean it's not allowed to share that obviously but you can do it for personal use

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah

[robust marsh]

hhh how would I check if a card has a specific sticker? Forgor

[red flower]

card.ability.[sticker_key]

[robust marsh]

ty

[carmine kiln]

So, and how do i that correctly?
I wanted to make an enhancement, which adds X2 Chips (that first part is fine), but that gets destroyed when the hand is on fire.
It is similar to the Glass Card's Code right?

[red flower]

remove the context.after and you might need to check manually if its on fire

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-check-if-the-score-is-on-fire

[frail parcel]

why doesn't this work
.txt is error given

[daring fern]

The key in the SMODS.add_card needs a class prefix, also the SMODS.add_card needs to be in the event.

[harsh belfry]

oh hell yeah
should probably be in #⚙・modding-general though

[agile path]

oops, you're right

[frail parcel]

i dont understand
could you explain in simpler terms

[agile path]

let me post it there

[fair osprey]

Hey all! Brand new to modding Balatro and still getting to grips with SMODS and Lua in general. Wondering if any of you know what I’m doing wrong here.

I’m creating a joker that has a certain amount of Xmult according to the level difference between the highest ranked poker hand and the second highest (starts at 1x, has 0.5 extra for each level). Struggling to get the code to work.

Here’s the function for finding the level difference (ai assisted - maybe there's something wrong here?)

Probably an obvious blunder

[willow scroll]

except if its pinned, then its card.pinned

Justice for pinned

[harsh belfry]

is there any easy way to take a UIElement out of the ui temporarily?

[willow scroll]

You're trying to execute the find_level_difference as an extension (idk the proper word) of the Card class, But you didn't define that. SMODS.Joker doesn't know what to do with the definition

Instead just define the function outside the SMODS.Joker and inside calculate call it with find_level_difference(self)

[harsh belfry]

also self isnt even used lol

[willow scroll]

That is also true lol

self:find_level_difference would only work if you explicitly defined Card:find_level_difference = function(self) [...] end

But that would make it a general function for all cards to just have, when I don't think it needs to

[daring fern]

No, self would be the center.

[willow scroll]

Self is center? Dammit

Never used it once in my calculation needs

[thorn basin]

I just created a booster pack but for some reason it doesn't show up in balatro.
is there something I'm missing?

[daring fern]

Keys can't have spaces.

[thorn basin]

aight

[thorn basin]

huh, it still doesn't appear

wait, don't tell me I have to update my steammodded again

[red flower]

are you loading the file

[thorn basin]

ok so for now I just updated my steammodded but still the booster pack doesn't show up

[red flower]

why did you ping me to not answer my question

[thorn basin]

oh wait

my bad

I just realized

[robust marsh]

This might sound weird but is there a way to make it so you straight up just can't see shops within a run(by finishing a blind, at least)? I don't know if there's anything of that sort but it's kinda what I want my next deck to revolve around.

[thorn basin]

yeah that was what i didn't do, my bad if I reply pinged you

[red flower]

i think you can patch the part that switches states to switch to blind selection immediately

[robust marsh]

I'm pretty bad when it comes to patches but i'll try to do it, thank you a lot

[thorn basin]

how can I make it that the booster pack creates jokers that are only from my mod?

[red flower]

make an objecttype with jokers from your mod

[thorn basin]

alright

[grim remnant]

hmm. for whatever reason, my food jokers started borking out in a weird way. the xmult/xchip ones do get eaten, but they "ERROR" instead of properly displaying "Eaten!", meanwhile the emult/echip ones... Just don't do a dang thing. what, exactly, are we missing here?

        if context.joker_main then --score Xmult
            return { 
                xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end
        
        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then --is it the end of the round? NOM
            card.ability.extra.Xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult - card.ability.extra.decay
            if card.ability.extra.Xmult <= 1 then
                card:start_dissolve()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                return { instant = true , message = localize('k_eaten') }
            end
        end
    end```

[timid zinc]

is there a way for a lovelypatch to just straight up replace a pattern instead of adding to it

[split saddle]

What's the localization entry for booster packs? i can't find it anywhere in the docs

[agile path]

let's say you type G.play

what does the G. mean?

[daring fern]

It's k_eaten_ex

[split saddle]

position = at instead of after or before

[gaunt folio]

okay now my comrade joker is balanced

[daring fern]

It means that G.play is a variable of G

[agile path]

but why G?

[split saddle]

game

[agile path]

i see

[agile path]

russian girlfriend said "i like how it says that everything is free"

[gaunt folio]

balance

plus nobody just wants to play 300 hours of reroll simulator

[agile path]

naninf runs be like

[gaunt folio]

fair

but itd be literally infinite if i set reroll price to zero

[grim remnant]

ah, that makes sense. still unsure why the Emult/Echips version just... fails to eat the food though once it hits 1

        if context.joker_main then --score Emult
            return { 
                emult = card.ability.extra.Emult
                -- message = "TEST",
            }
        end
        
        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then --is it the end of the round? NOM
            card.ability.extra.Emult = card.ability.extra.Emult - card.ability.extra.decay
            if card.ability.extra.Emult <= 1 then
                card:start_dissolve()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                return { instant = true , message = localize('k_eaten_ex') }
            end
        end
    end```

[gaunt folio]

I made it fair tho so if you sell the joker it removes the penalty

[harsh belfry]

crustulum:

[agile path]

i want to try to make a deck

[willow scroll]

Guess I'm nobody

[cursive gazelle]

SMODS.Back is for decks

[gaunt folio]

fair enough

[agile path]

i only ever made jokers, so i'll need to research a bit more, yes

[gaunt folio]

unless you like it why would you want to play balatro thats just reroll simulator

[cursive gazelle]

There’s nothing such as SMODS.Deck LOL

[harsh belfry]

its Back!!!

[cursive gazelle]

Kind of simple

[split saddle]

bump

[cursive gazelle]

Check other mods’s localization file

[agile path]

to access the atlas of said back, is it the same way?

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

atlas =

“Atlaskey”

[agile path]

this is how i organize my art

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure atlas functionality is completely identical for everything

[vast bridge]

How to make card get back in hand after scoring?

[slim ferry]

except ig that blinds ignore y position because theyre animated

[cursive gazelle]

Spritesheet is more efficient

[agile path]

not with me

[cursive gazelle]

No idea

[agile path]

brain works differently

naming decks d_ and jokers j_

[slim ferry]

the entirely atlas system is definitely built around having larger spritesheets over singular images

[agile path]

brain will get confused

how much should the file be?
px and py

[cursive gazelle]

71x95

[agile path]

for deck back?

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

For everything actually

[agile path]

so 140 x 190 for 2x

[cursive gazelle]

Only blind icon and mod icon is 34x34

[cursive gazelle]

142

[agile path]

oh, i need to design the mod icon too

[cursive gazelle]

For mod icon you just need to make an atlas and name the key “modicon”

Smods loads it for you

Px and py =34

[agile path]

can i put it in the mod folder itself?

where my json file is

[stray swan]

how do you make something happen everytime a joker triggers/a card scores. More specifically, call the play_sound() function.

when putting it before the return of a if context.individual, it just does it once

[zealous glen]

I think you can return sounds to play now

[stray swan]

yeah but it's like an sfx that's longer and over it

[zealous glen]

If you’re playing sounds inside calculate

[stray swan]

• there is another function that goes with it

[zealous glen]

I reckon you’re doing it wrong

Because the timing wouldn’t work

[agile path]

i was looking at vanilla remade

and this looks rather simple

[zealous glen]

Calculation happens before animation

[agile path]

i'll try something before asking for help

but it should be SMODS.Atlas and then SMODS.Back right?

[zealous glen]

So the sounds must be playing all at once at the start because you’re just calling the function that plays a sound

Instead of integrating it with the event system

[stray swan]

then how do i implement a sound and a G.[variable] change in the event system

[zealous glen]

What variable change are you trying to do

[stray swan]

becahse there is G.[imaganame] = x (where X is the number of frames the image stays on screen) as well as the play_sound

its a custom, newly made one

i can DM you the code but its kinda complicated since it also handles GIF displays

[zealous glen]

I would rather you describe what you’re trying to do

[stray swan]

okay so i have a joker that does +10 mult for each stone card scored

i want it so that everytime a stone card scores/the joker activates, the image displays and the sound plays

i may change the joker's effect but it'll still be on scored cards

[zealous glen]

Well, the sound should play at the correct time if you return the sound you’re trying to play

I don’t know off the top of my head but I think SMODS has a key for it

[stray swan]

well it only plays the sound/displays the image once but it still waits for it to be the first stone card scored

iirc the key is directly sound

[zealous glen]

I mean that matches what you want no?

[stray swan]

but i kind of want to keep the original mult sound too... I also belive that it won't solve hte image dispay problem

[zealous glen]

I think I know how to keep the original sound

{mult, extra = {sound}}

Something like this should work

[stray swan]

no, each time a stone card scores, even if there is 5 of them, it will only activate once

[zealous glen]

That sounds like a coding error to me

Do you get the Mult five times?

[stray swan]

lemme show u

yes

making me doubt

gonna retry

        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_stone") and not context.other_card.debuffed then
                G.ltg = 60
                play_sound("tao_vineboom")
                return {
                    mult = card.ability.extra.mult, -- Give +10 mult for each stone card scored
                    card = other_card,
                    message = "Pierrin' my shi'"
                }
            end
        end
    end,

[zealous glen]

Well, you aren’t returning the sound

[stray swan]

yes cuz im was using the play_sound function since the sound would replace the original sound

[zealous glen]

Does it work if you return the sound?

(minus not keeping the Mult sound)

[stray swan]

wait imma first see if the joker actually gives +10 fopr each stone cards

yep

only 1 img

1 sound

but all mults

like that ?

[zealous glen]

Idk

You can try that

[agile path]

okay so, the deck exists, but the atlas didn't work

[cursive gazelle]

Show code

Of atlas and deck

[zealous glen]

Deck names are weird

[agile path]

yup yup

[zealous glen]

Someone recently had this issue

[agile path]

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "purplish",
    path = "d_purplish.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
})

SMODS.Back {
    key = "purplish1",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { discards = 1 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.discards } }
    end,
    
}

[stray swan]

okay so, sounds plays five time but the image is still once but not sync

[zealous glen]

I explained why above

[stray swan]

yep but how do i display the image then ?

[zealous glen]

Starting from here

[cursive gazelle]

Specify atlas=“atlaskey” in deck

[zealous glen]

Hold on

[stray swan]

alr

[cursive gazelle]

And name=“name”

[zealous glen]

Try something like this to see if you can have both sounds

[agile path]

didn't i do that? i'm not understanding

[cursive gazelle]

In SMODS.back

[zealous glen]

You need a localization file

Or well

I think you can define localization in the object itself, usually

[cursive gazelle]

Loc_txt

[zealous glen]

I prefer having a single localization file

[stray swan]

no custom sound sound at all

[agile path]

well, i haven't set the localization stuff yet
i want to fix the atlas first
then i'll add the entry in the localization file

[cursive gazelle]

Atlas=“atlaskey”

[zealous glen]

Weird. Sounds like a bug. What if you do
{sound, extra = {mult}}

[cursive gazelle]

Add this to your SMODS.Back

[stray swan]

inverse it like that ?

but is the sound key really mult ?

[zealous glen]

Not like this

Have just the sound outside, and the rest inside

[stray swan]

ohhhh ok

like that

[zealous glen]

You forgot the message but yes

[stray swan]

yeah deleted it cuz i realized it did +10 mult then the lessage

and doesnt matter for now

no custom sound

[agile path]

i'm sorry, but where do i add this?

[stray swan]

my bad

[agile path]

in SMODS.Back?

[zealous glen]

Try adding a message next to the sound

{sound, message, extra = {…}}

[stray swan]

okok thanks

[cursive gazelle]

😭😭i literally said it twice to add it to SMODS.Back

[cursive gazelle]

Like literally here 😭

[stray swan]

ok it works

custom sound and mult sound

[agile path]

SMODS.Back {
    atlas="purplish",
    key = "purplish1",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { discards = 1 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.discards } }
    end,
    
}

i'm a lil slow sometimes, i'm sorry :,)

[stray swan]

now how in the hell do you display the image knowing that its displayed by G.ltg = 60

[agile path]

like this?

[zealous glen]

I have two suggestions

But first

[cursive gazelle]

Should work

[zealous glen]

I need to know how does the image work

[stray swan]

you might wanna switch to DMs since it kinda complicated

huge code chunks

[zealous glen]

Just give me an idea of what the variable is doing

The answer is about the same

But if you want it to look a specific way I’ll know better what to suggest

[gaunt folio]

whats not working? Im trying to make it so a hand with three of a specific rank increases a percent that the joker reduces blind size by

[agile path]

i gotta fix the text first lol

then fix the config, but so far so good, thank you!

[cursive gazelle]

Nice art

[agile path]

oh, thank you ^^

[stray swan]

art and idea is cool

but the double space before -2 joker slots is freaking me out

[harsh belfry]

perkeo

[agile path]

me too

[agile path]

it's pissing both me and my ocd off

[zealous glen]

What if there are no valid cards

[stray swan]

dms sent btw

[gaunt folio]

kw i can rework this to suit it probably works better

[zealous glen]

I can’t read the TXT file on mobile

[stray swan]

oh my bad

i will separate them

[modern kindle]

tech you can if you download em

[agile path]

also, what's wrong here

... nvm

{C:tarot,T:v_wheel_of_fortune}

[gilded goblet]

did someone else make that joke

[agile path]

no, you were the first

[stray swan]

care to send the joker's effect?

[bold sleet]

Hello good people, does anyone happen to know how to unrestrict the characters one can add to a text input?

[agile path]

i can't find the consumable tooltip list, is there any?

[cursive gazelle]

I think it’s hardcoded

[agile path]

i made the soul tool tip work, but for wheel didn't work

[dim rune]

Hello, how can I print/log things to help find what crashes my game on startup ?

[cursive gazelle]

Can i see ?

[agile path]

b_jgbt_purplish1={
                name={"Purplish Deck"},
                text={
                    "Starts with both a {C:spectral,T:c_soul}Soul{}",
                    "card and a{C:tarot,T:v_wheel_of_fortune} Wheel of Fortune{}",
                    "but gives {C:attention}#1# joker{} slots",
                },
            }

[bold sleet]

Suggestion for a description more in line with the way Local makes 'em:

Start with a Soul and
a Wheel of Fortune
-2 Joker slots

[bold sleet]

I have seen people disable the restrictions.

I want to know where those are made.

[red flower]

i think bepis knows

[bold sleet]

@manic rune, then.

[agile path]

bro, of fucking course i got chicot from the soul

[cursive gazelle]

error(“message”)

Or print

[zealous glen]

@stray swan So I think there’s two (or three) ways to achieve what you want

I’m not sure the extent to which they’re different

But it’s all about Event timing

The easiest one to try first is to return func and have the function set the variable value

[bold sleet]

If you want balala to immediately crash, error, otherwise use print or sendDebugMessage("message","logger")

[red cradle]

"The Soul" tbh

[zealous glen]

I think in theory it’s supposed to execute function during animation, but I’ve seen it act weirdly

[agile path]

but why isn't the wheel's tooltip working ;-;

[agile path]

here

[cursive gazelle]

V_ ?

Are you sure

[harsh belfry]

wheel of fortune voucher real

[cursive gazelle]

Also check for Uppercases

[stray swan]

thats so cool i didn't know you could do that

[zealous glen]

See if the timing works

[stray swan]

can't test it rn, will tell u when its done

[gaunt folio]

after some reworking, hows this

[agile path]

should it be c_wheel_of_fortune?

[cursive gazelle]

C

And check for uppercase

[agile path]

in my defense, it copied it from vanilla remade and i messed it up lol

hence why v_

[gaunt folio]

why wont this work?

[zealous glen]

Presumably because there are no valid cards

[cursive gazelle]

I love checking nils

[red cradle]

How to get all unlocked hands as table?

[gaunt folio]

oh wait think i missed something lmao

[zealous glen]

By that you mean avoiding secret hands right

[red cradle]

thank you

[cursive gazelle]

Np man

[red cradle]

maybe

[zealous glen]

Yes or no

[red cradle]

yes

[zealous glen]

Take a look at Moody from my mod

[agile path]

i read "mil fs"...

[gaunt folio]

There we go

[zealous glen]

It handles that internally

[cursive gazelle]

How

HOW

[zealous glen]

So you should be able to find out how to retrieve a table

[agile path]

brain autocorrected it lmfao

[zealous glen]

“at least three” or “at least 3” is how I’d write it

[cursive gazelle]

Would you play my game if it was like balatro but with a lot of glitches

[zealous glen]

I might remove “at least” actually

[hidden notch]

I was wondering how you managed to do that...
I understand now

[dim rune]

Yeah I think if we write in a localthunk way it would be "if hand contains 3 scoring Club cards", with 3 in yellow

[red cradle]

So, i just use G.GAME.hands but this doesnt works(

SMODS.smart_level_up_hand(card, pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.hands, "othala"), nil, -1)

[zealous glen]

Did you look at Moody?

Idk the new SMODS function but it might expect something specific

[red cradle]

I just wanted to know why G.GAME.hands is not working

[zealous glen]

Like names

[red flower]

G.GAME.hands is not integer indexed

[red cradle]

G.GAME.hands use names or keys?

[dim rune]

Well recycling half joker's writing it would be "if hand contains 3 or more Club cards"

[gaunt folio]

Yeah I’ll fix that

[hidden notch]

Not showing Negative Numbers here is nice and all, but I kinda depended on the Number actually going Negative 😭

[agile path]

is it possible to increase the negative chance?

[red flower]

keys but the names of the pokerhands in english are the same

[red cradle]

Ok

[zealous glen]

Which is why I don’t suggest vanilla wording :P

[red cradle]

So, whats problem here

[red flower]

.

pseudorandom_element only works on arrays

[dim rune]

I kinda like keeping vanilla wording but I wouldn't want to force my opinion on anyone lmao

[red cradle]

G.GAME.hands is not array?

[harsh belfry]

no

[red flower]

no

[red cradle]

ok

so

how can i get random hand

[harsh belfry]

G.handlist would work

[red flower]

check to do list

[agile path]

i ain't going to lie, i figured this would cause a crash 💀

time to make half joker viable

[red cradle]

it works, thanks a lot

[agile path]

mine

mine's hormone pills

my goat

[cursive gazelle]

Unfinished mime art

[agile path]

4.5x by doing nothing is lovely

[harsh belfry]

hell yeah

[agile path]

wait, chat
how do i increase negative rate on the shop? i want that to be a feature of my deck, since it only has 3 joker slots

can i start off of this?

[zealous glen]

Vanilla is inconsistent

[stray swan]

ok im back, does it need a return ?

[hidden notch]

You can make basically everything a 0.5 value
Except for Ante
Ante only wants full numbers owo'

[harsh belfry]

i don't really care about vanilla wording as long at it seems clear enough and there isn't a way to reword it to be smaller (and still clear)

[agile path]

me omw to buy an 8 ball with 0.4453 joker slots left

[zealous glen]

I think clarity and conciseness are the most important, followed by accuracy

I had written more about this but I think it was in the localthunk channel

[agile path]

i think you'd love the way i word my jokers

@zealous glen

[zealous glen]

I prefer flavorful wording occasionally

[harsh belfry]

ow my eyes
way too many words

[zealous glen]

Also yeah it violates conciseness

I wish the localthunk channel existed because I liked how I had written it

I had found three words starting with C

Clarity, conciseness, and

Ah, consistency IIRC

I think later I added two non-C words

Something like flavor and accuracy maybe

But I think clarity and conciseness are the most important

Consistency is important to create clarity, but

It can also create wording templates that are difficult to parse, thus reducing clarity

[agile path]

but but... how do i make it so that nat negatives in the shop have extra chance...?

[zealous glen]

Naturally you can opt to prioritize consistency over clarity

[agile path]

or is it even possible?

[zealous glen]

I don’t know

I recall reading something in the recent SMODS release

But idk if it’s relevant

[harsh belfry]

cryptid does it so check that out ig

[zealous glen]

I think it was about per-item weights

[agile path]

let me see

[zealous glen]

I mean I can imagine how I’d try to do it

Which is by manipulating the weight parameter of the Edition

But idk if that’s the recommended way of doing it

[slim ferry]

i think you could make the chance of getting a negative when an edition rolls at all higher, but the rate of any edition rolling is a fixed value afaik

[agile path]

i was looking at the tarot merchant to see if i understand how to implement it on my deck (or get an idea from it)

defeating a boss blind gives a negative tag

would that be possible? since yknow, anaglyph deck

[harsh belfry]

yes

[zealous glen]

Yes

[agile path]

plagiariasm at its finest

        if context.round_eval and G.GAME.last_blind and G.GAME.last_blind.boss then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    add_tag(Tag('tag_negative'))
                    play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                    play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end

all i did was change tag_double to tag_negative

context.round_eval is when you are receiving the money from the boss blind and the last two G.GAME are to specify if you are in the boss blind?

[crystal perch]

anyone know what's causing this crash on my spectral card?

can_use = function(self, card) -- line 17
        local has_ethereal = 0
        for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
            if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.chak_ethereal then
                has_ethereal = 1
            end
        end
        return G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards > 0 and has_ethereal = 1
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        local chosen_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards.ability.chak_ethereal, 'realize_choice')
        local deletable_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards not chosen_joker, 'realize_choice')
        local _first_dissolve = nil
        CHAK_UTIL.use_consumable_animatio(deletable_joker, nil, function()
                SMODS.destroy_cards(deletable_joker)
                return true
            end
        )
        CHAK_UTIL.use_consumable_animatio(chosen_joker, nil, function()
                chosen_joker:remove_sticker('chak_ethereal')
                return true
            end
        )
    end

[slim ferry]

G.jokers.cards.ability.chak_ethereal is the sticker ability table, idk why youre doing pseudorandom_element on that

[crystal perch]

well i want it to pick a random ethereal joker

but the part that's crashing it is the can_use

[slim ferry]

i mean the crash says that its coming from utilities/misc_functions.lua at line 8

could you show that file too?

[crystal perch]

that's just the load file

[harsh belfry]

you specified the path wrong i think

[crystal perch]

the path isn't wrong

every crash has that

trust me

[harsh belfry]

hmm

[crystal perch]

if i get rid of the can_use it loads

[agile path]

config = {joker_slot = -2, consumables = { 'c_soul' , 'c_wheel_of_fortune' }, chance = 0 },
how do i check what number does chance has? card.ability.extra.chance is only for jokers, no?

[slim ferry]

wdym

[crystal perch]

usually cards use odds

[slim ferry]

you can have any values on any card

[agile path]

bruh, the way i convey words is just so fucking weird

[harsh belfry]

return G.jokers and #G.jokers.cards > 0 and has_ethereal = 1

this looks weird lol

dunno if you can do the variable setting like that

[slim ferry]

ohhh yeah it should be has_ethereal == 1

[crystal perch]

fuuuck

[agile path]

so, when making a joker, in the config, if you want to use any variable, you need to use card.ability.extra.variable_name, correct?

[crystal perch]

i always forget the other =

[slim ferry]

i mean if you put the variable in extra yeah

the entire card config field is copied to card.ability

[agile path]

is it the same with decks?

[slim ferry]

yes

[agile path]

thank you, all i needed

[slim ferry]

it should be the same with all centers

[vernal path]

Code should yell at you for trying to set a variable in a statement, lol. Do you have any kind of warning suppression on?

[crystal perch]

i don't have that on because the lua vscode extension doesn't know anything about smods and other misc utils i make myself and i don't care to set it all up lol

[vernal path]

Personally, i just have my workspace to be my Mods folder, it usually makes everything work

[crystal perch]

yeah i do that too

[slim ferry]

even then it would still scream at you

[harsh belfry]

not really

the colours just get weird

[crystal perch]

it never screams at me

[slim ferry]

because you cant set variables in a return

[vernal path]

if you have syntax error suppression then you will get nothing

which is usually why I'd avoid doing that

[gilded goblet]

I was wondering how you'd set up definitions for Balatro functions and SMODS functions

That'd be super handy

[crystal perch]

this is what my workspace looks like with it on

all the code is sound btw

[vernal path]

thats normal

[harsh belfry]

thats ugly

[crystal perch]

grinds my gears...

[vernal path]

i mean, i have some suppression on for when i hook functions, but thats single line

[red cradle]

Ive finally coded all 24 spectral rune cards

[gilded goblet]

poop_butt.lua nice

[vernal path]

i mean, if you suppress everything, you might as well use np++ or something

[crystal perch]

i like the vscode ui

[vernal path]

still, seems like a bad idea

[crystal perch]

it's worked thus far

[zealous glen]

I think I also get mine looking like that

Even though I tried to add Balatro and SMODS so VSCode would know their functions

I have Balatro in the same workspace and it still tells me the Balatro functions don’t exist

[crystal perch]

i have balatro, smods, and lovely all in the same workspace

apparently all their functions are heresy of the divine lua gods and thusly have no god given right to work

[agile path]

calculate = function(self, back, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
             G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card.ability.extra.chance = math.random(0,1)
                    message = localize("Rolling...")
                end
}))

is this gibberish?

[crystal perch]

according to the lua extension yes

[vernal path]

I mean my vscodium looks like this, i don't have suppression turned on at all, except for some single-line suppression for hooked functions

[crystal perch]

youre one of the luck ones

[vernal path]

i think you need an end at the end of your calculation function?

or did you mean something else

[agile path]

there is, yes

i'm tryna make a 1 in 2 chance of giving a negative tag upon beating a boss blind

[cursive gazelle]

You’re not cooking

Don’t use math.random

[agile path]

calculate = function(self, back, context)
        if context.setting_blind then
             G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    card.ability.extra.chance = math.random(0,1)
                    message = localize("Rolling...")
                end
                }))
        end
        if context.round_eval and G.GAME.last_blind and G.GAME.last_blind.boss and card.ability.extra.chance == 1 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    add_tag(Tag('tag_negative'))
                    play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                    play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end,

since i don't know how to do the whole chance part, i'm doing it in other ways, also trying to figure stuff out on my own

[vernal path]

uhhhhh oh uh you dont have card defined

[cursive gazelle]

Use pseudorandom

[agile path]

i figured

[agile path]

how do i do that?

[vernal path]

oh, yeah also dont use math.random lol

[agile path]

gotcha

[cursive gazelle]

Check vanilla remade wiki

Because math.random is always random

[agile path]

can i look at wheel of fortune chance stuff? for the whole 1 in 2?

[cursive gazelle]

But pseudorandom takes a seed which has always the same outcome

[cursive gazelle]

Yes

[zealous glen]

Take a look at the previous release’s release page

It discusses the new probability functionality

[vernal path]

yeah, card here is undefined, the calculate function doesn't have a card. Did you mean back? Maybe just take another look.

[agile path]

(SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(x, y, z, w))

something like this?

ignore the xywz

i got it off of wheel's

[slim ferry]

pseudorandom_probability is for probability effects that can be detected/modified by other cards

[agile path]

got it. oops affects it?

[slim ferry]

yeah

if you just want a random number i think you can just use pseudorandom()

[agile path]

interesting
what does each slot do tho?
the x, y, z and the w
SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'vremade_wheel_of_fortune', 1, card.ability.extra.odds)
originally copied it like this

i understand the 1 and extra.odds
what i don't get is card and vremade

[vernal path]

if you have it in vscode, you can hover over the function to see what it does

[slim ferry]

first is the source object, then the identifier/seed, then the numerator and denominator

[vernal path]

actually, this is outdated, i should put in a pull request to have it updated for latest smods

because here the 1 wont be updated by oops

[agile path]

this is a deck that has 1 in 2 chances give you a negative tag on beating a boss blind

[vernal path]

okay, well then definitely replace all mentions of card with back, as you aren't making a joker or anything

[agile path]

got it

[vernal path]

tbh i'd look at a mod that has some kind of random functionality (thats updated) to get a better look at it

[agile path]

what about vremade_wheel?

oh

[vernal path]

its not updated

[agile path]

shit

[vernal path]

If you want, you can take a peek at mine, since i have one thats properly done

[agile path]

please do show

but following the logic

(SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(back, b_jgbt_purplish1, 1, 2))
this would technically work?

purplish1 is the key of said deck

[vernal path]

the key does not matter, the second argument is just a seed, which is a string. so make sure its a string

[agile path]

"test" got it

[vernal path]

And then after, technically yes, however it would break with an Oops or anything that messes with probability

if you just want the numerator to be 1 under most circumstances, you can replace it with G.GAME.probabilities.normal

[agile path]

i don't want it to be affected by oops

[vernal path]

and then for the denominator, you'll want to use a variable, defined like config = { extra = { odds = 2 } }

[vernal path]

why wouldn't you?

[agile path]

guaranteed neg tag on beating a boss blind on a -2 joker deck
i want it to be a miserable deck /hj

[vernal path]

inconsistency be damned i guess

[agile path]

so it's not card.ability, it's back.ability.extra?

[vernal path]

yes, since card isn't passed, back is.

[thorn pumice]

guyts

whats that thing aclled

when you look at aj joker

and it says like

create a tarot card

and then displays the tarot card

how do i do that

[agile path]

shit

[vernal path]

info_queue

[vernal path]

try spelling things correctly 👍

[slim ferry]

info_queue in loc_vars, you should look at vanillaremade for examples of it

[agile path]

i play balatro, i cannot read :(

[vernal path]

no thats undertale fans

who keeps banana reacting

[rotund sable]

The guy above you

[vernal path]

[slim ferry]

mmm yummy bananan

is there anywhere you cant use a gradient in place of a colour? or can it actually be used everywhere where a colour is expected

[vernal path]

tryitandsee

[slim ferry]

good point

[agile path]

it's still crashing, on line 18 still

[vernal path]

unless you post the full code, line 18 is meaningless

[agile path]

how dare you

not simply guess

[vernal path]

oh true

[agile path]

0/10 helpful

[slim ferry]

average modding dev interaction

[agile path]

if context.round_eval and G.GAME.last_blind and G.GAME.last_blind.boss and (SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(back, "test", 1, back.ability.extra.chance)) then

is that fucking "test"

[robust marsh]

idunno why i felt like saying this but after a few weeks of modding the game I wanted to thank everyone here for helping people all the time u guys are awesome

[vernal path]

can you post the crash log? when is this crashing?

[agile path]

i feel the same way
if it wasn't for this chat, i would've never gotten any of the stuff i did done xD

[robust marsh]

same pretty much

[agile path]

4

edit: typed 4 on accident

[vernal path]

the
the full crash log

[agile path]

fuck

[vernal path]

please just post the lovely log

[agile path]

but how ;o; where

where from

[vernal path]

its in Mods\lovely\log\ and its the latest one

[agile path]

like so?

[vernal path]

yeah

[agile path]

sorry for being slow lmfao, i was not understanding

[vernal path]

and then can you post the full deck code?

[agile path]

ofc

    key = "purplish",
    path = "d_purplish.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
})

SMODS.Back {
    atlas="purplish",
    key = "purplish1",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = {joker_slot = -2, consumables = { 'c_soul' , 'c_wheel_of_fortune' }, chance = 2  },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, back)
        return { vars = { self.config.joker_slot } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, back, context)
        if context.round_eval and G.GAME.last_blind and G.GAME.last_blind.boss and (SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(back, "test", 1, back.ability.extra.chance)) then 
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    add_tag(Tag('tag_negative'))
                    play_sound('generic1', 0.9 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.8)
                    play_sound('holo1', 1.2 + math.random() * 0.1, 0.4)
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end,
    
}```

[vernal path]

uhhh because you need to put extra stuff in extra

like i said earlier

config = { extra = { odds = 2}}

[agile path]

ooohhh

config = extra { {joker_slot = -2, consumables = { 'c_soul' , 'c_wheel_of_fortune' }, chance = 2 }},

this?

[vernal path]

n

no

[agile path]

obviously i didn't add a =

[drowsy heath]

okay so my mod crashes on one pc but works on another what on earth is happening its specifically a consumable that triggers the crash i have the crash log if that helps

[vernal path]

config = {joker_slot = -2, consumables = { 'c_soul' , 'c_wheel_of_fortune' }, extra = {chance = 2 } },

[drowsy heath]

the crashlog

[agile path]

the variables should be added with an extra then?

[vernal path]

thats how it works with everything else

[vernal path]

can you post the actual crashlog? Found at Mods\lovely\log\, and the latest log

[drowsy heath]

oh yh hold up

[agile path]

what about the "test" as pseudorandom_probability? do i leave it like "test" lol

[vernal path]

its a seed. it doesn't matter

its like putting orange in your minecraft seed when you generate it

[agile path]

changing it to purplish_deck then

[drowsy heath]

idk what is going on with it, or what a new pc is doing wrong

[agile path]

same crash...

[vernal path]

do you need galdur and talisman for your mod to work?

[drowsy heath]

no i just use them

[vernal path]

turn them off

[drowsy heath]

talisman may be required soon tho with how its looking but okay

[red flower]

if your mod doesnt work with galdur then theres a problem with your mod lol

[vernal path]

i dont even remember what galdur does

[drowsy heath]

yeah these are the things i normally use

[agile path]

galdur's bate

[drowsy heath]

just reinstalled everything on a new pc tho

[vernal path]

thanks

[drowsy heath]

yeah that didnt work

[vernal path]

whats the new crash log?

[agile path]

also, can i see your probability code example?

[drowsy heath]

im clueless now
