you can write code in a separate remove_from_deck function (i.e. not the calculate function), which runs when the joker is removed in any way. you'd need to have a check specifically for what's destroying it, which i don't remember how to do that off the top of my head

[vocal helm]

Follow up to this; it seems like the joker reduces the cost of the shop items when the joker itself is triggered, not when the calculate effect per-card is triggered
How would I change it so that the calculate effect drops the price?

-- jokers
for index, shop_card in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
    if shop_card.cost > 0 then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = "after",
            func = function()
                SMODS.calculate_effect({
                    trigger = "after",
                    message = "Reduced!", 
                    colour = G.C.MONEY,
                    func = function()
                        shop_card.cost = math.max(0, shop_card.cost - card.ability.extra.price_reduction)
                        return true
                    end}, 
                shop_card)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end
end

[daring fern]

Remove the event.

[vocal helm]

just call the calculate_event?

[simple locust]

Whattttttttttt

Bmm but inside balatro

[vocal helm]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.selling_card and G.STATE == G.STATES.SHOP then
            -- return
            return {
                trigger = "immediate",
                message = "hoI!",
                colour =  G.C.GREEN,
                message_card = card,
                func = function()
                    G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = math.max(0, G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost - 1)
                    -- jokers
                    for index, shop_card in ipairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do
                        if shop_card.cost > 0 then
                            local new_cost = math.max(0, shop_card.cost - card.ability.extra.price_reduction)
                            local msg = "$"..new_cost
                            if new_cost <= 0 then
                                msg = "Free!"
                            end
                            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                                trigger = "after",
                                message = msg,
                                colour = G.C.MONEY,
                                func = function()
                                    shop_card.cost = new_cost
                                    return true
                                end
                                }, 
                            shop_card)
                        end
                    end
                    return true
                end
            }
        
        end
    
    end

still has the price reduce before the card gets triggered

[frigid cargo]

im tryna make a joker that activates on a set of number once.
so like imagine a low straight A-5, i want it to activate 1.5xmult to gain 0.25xmult on the 2s 3s 4s & 5s once, so if i was to play a flush five or something it would add a different xmult for the same ranks.
how would i do this? Would i make a list or what?

actually i think i mightve figured it out somehow

nope nvm

[high verge]

                            n = G.UIT.R,
                            config = { align = 'cm',},
                            nodes = {
                                create_option_cycle({
                                    scale = 1, 
                                    w = 4,
                                    label = "UI Options", 
                                    opt_callback = 'callback_func',
                                    options = {"Custom Suits", "Face Only", "Vanilla"},
                                    value = 1,
                                    ref_table = helluva_config,
                                    ref_value = 'hellvacustomsuitui',
                                }),    
                            },
                        },
G.FUNCS.callback_func = function(args)
  args = args or {}
  if args.cycle_config and args.cycle_config.ref_table and args.cycle_config.ref_value then
    args.cycle_config.ref_table[args.cycle_config.ref_value] = args.to_key
  end
end```
I have this code and it *functions* but whenever the menu is opened it shows the value back on the first option again. How can I make it update so that it shows the correct current option when you open the config menu?

[frigid cargo]

im sorry im bad at ui but perhaps i can show you my code for reference?

[high verge]

You have a functional option cycle that doesn't reset itself?

[frigid cargo]

yes

[high verge]

I'd love to see it ^^

[frigid cargo]

function G.FUNCS.btct_tarotM_rateChange(args) -- Tarot
    Batrocities.config.tarotM_rateChange = args.cycle_config.current_option
    Batrocities.config.selected = args.to_val
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            if Batrocities.config.tarotM_rateChange == 1 then
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4 * 1
                return true
            elseif Batrocities.config.tarotM_rateChange == 2 then
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4 * 2.4
                return true
            elseif Batrocities.config.tarotM_rateChange == 3 then
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4 * 4.7335
                return true
            elseif Batrocities.config.tarotM_rateChange == 4 then
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4 * 8
                return true
            elseif Batrocities.config.tarotM_rateChange == 5 then
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4 * 12.2
                return true
            elseif Batrocities.config.tarotM_rateChange == 6 then
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = 4 * 17.333
                return true
            else
                G.GAME.tarot_rate = G.GAME.tarot_rate
                return true
            end
        end
    }))
end

ignore the huge elseif statement

thats the function for the cycle

[high verge]

I think I have a rough idea of what's going on

How does the matching node look?

Wait maybe I don't understand this xD

heres the entire config menu

[high verge]

Let's see if I can reverse engineer this

Thank you

[frigid cargo]

real

np hope i could help more but cant sorry

[high verge]

Nah this is already plenty xD

[frigid cargo]

[high verge]

I figured it out

current_option = morenatsu_config.morenatsustyle,

Just needed this option

[frigid cargo]

ah

good job

[high verge]

Repost your issue

[shut monolith]

I'm trying to make a custom blind, but the ignore_showdown_check doesn't seem to do anything?

[frigid cargo]

i seem to have figured it out somehow so no need lol

[robust marsh]

Thank you! But it isn't my sprite, Ruby made it

[high verge]

Can we localize the json display name of the mod?

[true jasper]

Most complex joker I've ever made is done (I'm bad at coding)
Numbers will be tweaked when balance testing happens

[urban wasp]

coolio

[terse merlin]

so uh looks like Lucky Cat but 41% stronger on average

something something expected value

[urban wasp]

i mean pretty much

i feel like this could be adjusted for something else like glass cards ngl

[true jasper]

I'm proud of myself and it's for one of my mod

[urban wasp]

obv glass joker has that niche but yea

[urban wasp]

i like it and it's not too easy to code so good job

[terse merlin]

well ive never coded a joker myself

[true jasper]

It's an alt version of lucky cat (whole theme of the mod)

[urban wasp]

ahh i see

[terse merlin]

just pointing out how the effect is very similiar to an existing one

[urban wasp]

in that case the decrease should definitely go up

to something like x0.1 or even x0.15 imo

[true jasper]

I'll probably make it x0.1

[urban wasp]

yea

i am currently finishing this stuff up

[terse merlin]

x0.1 will make it 18% weaker than normal lucky cat i think?

[urban wasp]

i mean oops all 6s is kinda the thing though

[true jasper]

Still working on that I see (cryptposting)

[urban wasp]

yeah i stopped cryptposting dev for a little while since people started sending me like death threats and stuff but i've learned to deal with it and i'm getting back into it

[terse merlin]

a perfect balance seems to be around losing x0.085 on a non-trigger

soo tweak that as you will

[urban wasp]

too oddly specific imo some changing around is probably good

[mystic river]

given that it's swingy, having a higher expected value than the non-swingy counterpart might be a way to make it worth taking

[true jasper]

It's not ment to be exactly the same as the normal version, they're supposed stronger with a trade off

[mystic river]

i mean lucky cat is already kinda swingy but this is even more so

[terse merlin]

alr

[urban wasp]

i would say x0.075 is good then

balatro cuts off decimals at like 0.01 i think though

might be wrong

[terse merlin]

it WILL be stronger as long as you keep it below x0.085

[true jasper]

you'll only be able to obtain them with tarot/spectral cards that turn them into their other versions

[terse merlin]

and i guess all6 makes it have higher potential than regular cat

more uhhh volatile

[urban wasp]

yeah given all this x0.075 is best bet in my opinion

in other news, local balatro modding dev (me) bumps this certain message because they are going insane

[stiff locust]

guys i think i made a bomb

[urban wasp]

zip bomb joker when

[true jasper]

WHAT

[stiff locust]

ok so

[true jasper]

Zip bomb balatro mod 🔥

[stiff locust]

I made two jokers that turn into each other

on a cycle

but they both have each other in their info queues

so as soon as you hover over the joker, your game crashes

hard crashes, no log

[true jasper]

😭

[stiff locust]

this is funny as fuck and I am 100% making a landmine

which does this intentionally

later

[true jasper]

just make separate info queues for only when hovered so that doesn't happen

[stiff locust]

yeah i'm gonna do that

[urban wasp]

yeah i've done this on accident before

in fact i literally did this today

😭

[true jasper]

Of course you have 😭🙏

[robust marsh]

How do I make a custom card area appear only on specific decks? I'm trying to use G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key but to no avail

[stiff locust]

ii think you're missing the e_ before crp on the label key

i've never really done editions but i'd assume that's the issue

[urban wasp]

already tried that

i'm going insane like i've been trying to fix this ALL day

unironically it is 12:50 am i've been coding almost non-stop since about 2:00 pm

arethese

[urban wasp]

true but only sometimes

[stiff locust]

the coding is the easy part for me

dont even get me started on art

[urban wasp]

well true

[true jasper]

I'm just stupid and can't code for shit

[urban wasp]

i'm best at writing/suggesting i'm pretty good at coding absolutely and utterly abhorrent at art

[feral tree]

What's the hex codes for the low and high contrast colors of the playing cards

[stiff locust]

my art is like

okay

[urban wasp]

they're on the modded wiki hold on

[stiff locust]

I can shade cylinders and spheres

[true jasper]

My pixel art is meh while my normal art is peak

[stiff locust]

what if you just

make normal art and then scale it down

[true jasper]

that will look like ass and peak art takes time

[stiff locust]

then make it not look like ass

[urban wasp]

low contrast
spades #3c4368
hearts #f03464
clubs #235955
diamonds #f06b3f

high contrast
spades #3a17b3
hearts #fa2315
clubs #0081e6
diamonds #e18400

[true jasper]

playing on low contrast is scary ngl

[urban wasp]

i play on mobile a lot and i use high contrast on there

then on computer i have a deck skin

[true jasper]

I barely play on mobile since I just watch yt on my phone mostly

[urban wasp]

i've been playing a LOT of vanilla balatro on my phone

[true jasper]

Pretty cool

[stiff locust]

i can use love.timer.sleep in balatro right

[true jasper]

I have 2 solo mods I'm working on, 1 being coded, other in concepting still. The one being coded still needs a lot more ideas

[true jasper]

you can use most if not all love functions

[stiff locust]

okay

i need to eradicate a card

I don't want the card to stay on the screen and I want to make sure that it is destroyed no matter what happens

how do I do this

[urban wasp]

i have one that i've been concepting for a while now but i doubt i'll actually ever code it since it focuses on something i'm not very good at programming for

[urban wasp]

something with dissolve

ns what

[stiff locust]

no but there's stuff like the stacked effect that makes it immune to destruction x times

[urban wasp]

😭

[stiff locust]

I don't wanna have to manually stop every single destruction prevention

[true jasper]

can't you just card:destroy() or whatever it is

[stiff locust]

that depends a lot on how the effect is coded

reverie's destruction checks can see even if you use card:remove()

i'm going to cover as many bases as I can

[true jasper]

Unrelated, how does one add the separate text boxes in the description of something

[stiff locust]

^

[true jasper]

peak, thanks

[stiff locust]

this code crashes if you have no modded stickers

at least I think that's the cause

SMODS.stickers is nil for me

easy fix but thought id tell you

[mystic river]

hm
i. don't think I've ever had that be the case

[stiff locust]

i will install a mod that adds a sticker and double check

(what mods have those that aren't too big)

[mystic river]

I'm also kinda surprised that vanilla stickers aren't in there?

i thought they were, i vaguely recall testing this

[stiff locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mystic river]

now i guess i have to test it again

[urban wasp]

hey guys i'm asking again, how would i be able to set an edition's shader as a vanilla one, since this crashes

SMODS.Edition {
    key = "really_negative",
    weight = 0.3,
    shader = "negative",
    in_shop = true,
    extra_cost = 5,
    get_weight = function(self)
        return G.GAME.edition_rate * self.weight
    end,
    config = { card_limit = 3 },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { self.config.card_limit } }
    end,
    crp_credits = {
        idea = { "PurplePickle" },
        code = { "wilfredlam0418" }
    }
}

[mystic river]

prefix config is involved, i assume

[urban wasp]

yeah some others were talking abt that earlier when i asked

[mystic river]

wait no i think that's a different thing. maybe? uh. it's something to check

[urban wasp]

not sure how i would implement that though

[daring fern]

prefix_config = {shader = false}?

[urban wasp]

so literally just

SMODS.Edition {
    key = "really_negative",
    weight = 0.3,
    shader = "negative",
    prefix_config = { shader = false },
    in_shop = true,
    extra_cost = 5,
    get_weight = function(self)
        return G.GAME.edition_rate * self.weight
    end,
    config = { card_limit = 3 },

[daring fern]

Yes.

[urban wasp]

oh my god it worked

okay how do i add the negative shine on top of it kinda forgot to mention that

[daring fern]

Use the draw function, or use SMODS.DrawStep

[urban wasp]

oh... i'm not entirely sure how to do that

smods wiki to the rescue

yeah i have no clue how to use drawstep

it'll be fine

probably

how do i make it so that a voucher's effect replaces another's

[stiff locust]

just check if the second voucher is redeemed when you calculate the first one's effect

and if it has been redeemed, don't do the effect

that's assuming you made both vouchers

[lament agate]

how do you alter held in hand enhancement card

like i.e Gold card now gives $5 instead of $3

[daring fern]

You would either take ownership of it, or hook Card:set_ability and change it.

[lament agate]

how would i take ownership of said enhancements

[daring fern]

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

[lament agate]

so i could take ownership of this

[daring fern]

Yes.

[high verge]

Where is Wee Joker on the texture sheet?

[daring fern]

The first one.

[high verge]

Ah it just wasn't showing because I forgot to define the key.

[manic rune]

is there a way to have this not be affected by retrigger_joker?

right now i have to add this everywhere thats using context.bsr_stats which is annoying

[wintry solar]

Patch the line that calls retriggers

It should be in eval card iirc

[manic rune]

🤔 here, right? i assume i add if not context.bsr_stats then outside the if statement or smt similar

yeah that seemed to do it, thanks

oh yeah, another question, what do i do here to have the card retriggering? right now it seems to retrigger everything

[stiff locust]

help

(i know what happened but not how to fix it)

[manic rune]

why is it jimbo

[stiff locust]

i need to turn x joker into y joker and it seems to be working on everything other than the sprite

i tested it turning jimbo into splash

[manic rune]

thats odd, set_ability should also change the sprite too

[stiff locust]

and

everything, actually

it's not changing the effect i'm losing it

I need to turn X card into Y card But Like Actually

[manic rune]

how r u changing it

[stiff locust]

I was hoping that replacing the center with the center of the new card would do it

it only changed the descriptions

[manic rune]

oh, no

you want to do card:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS["j_splash"])

i forgot if it accepts just the key too, but using a center works

[red flower]

it accepts just the key yes

[stiff locust]

oh

that's way easier than i thought it would be

today is one of those "write a function for something that is already easily possible" days

[hidden mirage]

how to get definitions and autocomplete?

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#3-set-up-the-lua-lsp

[hidden mirage]

thankyou!

[manic rune]

why is it retriggering the right joker...

[daring fern]

Because _card is from a loop of G.jokers.cards

card would be the card that it's calculating the retriggers of.

[manic rune]

o

ic, thanks

[candid sleet]

i can't seem to figure out why this spectral card crashes trying to apply my custom seal to a card, the setup seems the same as vanilla remade for those spectral cards?

is there something wrong with my seal maybe?

[red flower]

it should be modprefix_Pink

here

[candid sleet]

ohh ok

my prefix is PORO and i tried m_PORO_Pink like you do with enhancements but i guess seals are different

[slim ferry]

seals are a different object they dont use m_

they just dont have anything

[candid sleet]

Gotcha ok thanks

[queen meadow]

is there none

[red flower]

I don't think so

[queen meadow]

damn... 💔

i gotta do checks for when card with purple seal is discarded, card with blue seal on hand in end of round, and when card with red or gold seal is played

[naive musk]

sup guys
is there a tutorial on coding stuff for balatro mods?, really can’t rely on joker forge for long

[slim ferry]

check out the second pinned message in modding-chat

[manic rune]

why is it, still, retriggering the right joker, what

[robust marsh]

ello, I wanted to ask if there's a way to just create custom tooltips that aren't connected to jokers/cards with this specific purpose?

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure deck hover tooltips HAVE to be linked to a tag or center because of how they work

[manic rune]

you could create a dummy center so the code knows where to grab the localization from, though i patched into it personally so i dont have to do it lol

[slim ferry]

or that

[robust marsh]

alrighty

[manic rune]

@red flower help me 3:

i have, no clue what to do now

i tried printing out eval and im like 95% sure im adding repetitions in the right place

-# im not even gonna bother questioning why its not retriggering 10 times, i just want it to work...

[red flower]

no idea

[manic rune]

im cooked

[stiff locust]

i need a joker to set its sell cost to -2

card.sell_cost doesnt appear to be working

where would I do this

[manic rune]

u probably will need to hook to Card:set_cost() to prevent the card's sell cost from being changed by the function 🤔

[stiff locust]

ughhh

[manic rune]

wait i mean

Card:set_cost()

[hidden mirage]

sorry for the beginner question but how do you make the mult effect/message show up after the chips one
if context.joker_main then return { chips = card.ability.extra.chips, mult = card.ability.extra.mult } end

[stiff locust]

i'm just gonna make the joker subtract 5 dollars when sold

i cannot deal with another patch or hook today

[manic rune]

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

probably

[slim ferry]

yeah

extra always goes after the other effects

afaik

[hidden mirage]

sure

what if i wanted another thing out of order?

[stiff locust]

if context.selling_self then
            ease_dollars(-5)
        end

i can't even do that right today

what is wrong with this code

why is it not running

it's not inside another context and there is nothng to get in its way

[manic rune]

erm

no clue

[manic rune]

just put anything thats not in the intended order in extra

you can put extra in extra too btw

[hidden mirage]

ok thankyou

[slim ferry]

extraception

[manic rune]

truly

im so confused about the retriggers

help

[hidden mirage]

is there a list of the colours with {C:}

[stiff locust]

yeah but you only really need
red, blue, attention, inactive, edition, dark_edition, money and green

[hidden mirage]

okay thankyou

[stiff locust]

there are also suit colors but i forgot where to find them

[manic rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling

scroll down to the bottom and you should see the color list and where its defined

[hidden mirage]

return {
message = "-#3# Chips",
colour = G.C.CHIPS
}

how to use text styling on messages? or at least referencing a value

[daring fern]

No, it's not retriggering the right joker, the right joker is retriggering it because you're checking that for every joker and consumable and voucher because it's in a for loop.

[manic rune]

🤔 but card.ability.excess_action_value of the right joker should be 0 though

so it shouldnt retrigger itself

[daring fern]

Yes, it isn't, the right joker is retriggering the left joker.

[manic rune]

.

wait

hmm

[manic rune]

:3 wtf

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[manic rune]

if a joker have card.ability.excess_action_value then it will retrigger itself once per 100 of that

[daring fern]

Have you tried using perma_repetitions?

[manic rune]

wtf is that

3:

lemme check

[daring fern]

Permanent retriggers for a card.

[slim ferry]

if this is for scoring effects, those already do messages automatically
otherwise, you can use the localize function to use a message from the game (if you dont have a variable, just localize(<text key>), otherwise localize { type = 'variable', key = <text key>, vars = { <variables to use> } }

[hidden mirage]

this is for reducing chips by #3# on hand played

[slim ferry]

then it should be automatic

[manic rune]

why do i only see seals using that lmao

[slim ferry]

well if you mean as in scoring that and not scaling down like ice cream or smth

[hidden mirage]

i mean like an icecream
if context.after then
if card.ability.extra.chips > 0 then
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips - card.ability.extra.chips_loss
return {
message = "-10 Chips",
colour = G.C.CHIPS
}
end
end

i want the -10 to be -#3#

[slim ferry]

message = localize { type = "variable", key = "a_chips_minus", vars = { whatever the variable is } }

[hidden mirage]

thankyou

sorry i didnt really know how to interpret your message before ill work on that

[daring fern]

That's what it uses to add the retriggers.

[manic rune]

huh

i see

:3 wtf

why is retriggers 0??

oh wait

this doesnt work for jokers though, does it

3:

[daring fern]

Not normally.

[manic rune]

man

what am i supposed to do now...

maybe i can add this

. oh, that works

[gilded goblet]

this seems to have fixed it (hopefully)

should_apply = function(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
  if (area == G.shop_jokers) or (area == G.pack_cards) then
    return SMODS.Sticker.should_apply(self, card, center, area, bypass_roll)
    and G.GAME.modifiers.enable_marked_in_shops
  end
end

[hidden mirage]

how to make context_end_of_round only happen at end of ante?

[red flower]

you can use context.beat_boss

in addition

or use one of the new ante contexts although i think one is broken in the release https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

[hidden mirage]

thankyou

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.mult,
                card.ability.half_of_mult
            }
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round then
            if card.ability.extra.mult > 0 then
                card.ability.extra.half_of_mult = math.ceil(card.ability.extra.mult / 2)
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult - card.ability.half_of_mult
                return {
                    message = localize { type = "variable", key = "a_mult_minus", vars = {card.ability.extra.half_of_mult}},
                    colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return{
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end

why is it saying half_of_mult is nil (i set it to 20 but i dont see why it should matter)

[slim ferry]

shouldnt it be card.ability.extra.half_of_mult?

[hidden mirage]

wow thankyou 😵‍💫

[hidden mirage]

how do i handle oops all sixes?

[stiff locust]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua probably has what you want

[hidden mirage]

SMODS.Challenge {
    key = "test",
    loc_txt = { name = "Test Deck" },
    jokers = {
        {id = "blueprint"}
    }
}

why this no work

[rotund sable]

does it:
a) crash
b) doesn't show up

c) it works but you didn't load the file/ restart balatro

[daring fern]

It's j_blueprint

[hidden mirage]

crash when select

[rotund sable]

.

[hidden mirage]

with a custom joker do i put j_ aswell

[daring fern]

It would be j_modprefix_key

[rotund sable]

damn you're fast

[hidden mirage]

ahhh thankyou

[cursive gazelle]

somethingcom always helping people

what a nice guy

[red flower]

does anyone know where the game decides you won a round after getting the required score

here?

[keen atlas]

somewhere in end_round

[red flower]

but isnt end_round for ending the round

i want to know what calls that

[keen atlas]

it also checks for game over
state_events.lua:96

if G.GAME.chips - G.GAME.blind.chips >= 0 then
    game_over = false
end

[red flower]

yeah but it checks after being called

i dont need that, just when it is called in the first place

it checks because its also called when you run out of cards for example

[keen atlas]

i have no idea then

[daring fern]

‎

[red flower]

my problem is that it seems to be called as part of the state machine which makes it a bit harder to pinpoint but i think it is the screenshot i sent earlier

[hidden mirage]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
  SMODS.destroy_cards(context.card, nil, nil, true)
end

whats the right way to remove scored cards with a joker?

[red flower]

context.destroy_card

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-destroy-cards

[hidden mirage]

would i return true or something?

i see thankyou

[hidden mirage]

what if i want it to reconsider every time the cards are retriggered, and stop retriggering if it gets destroyed?

[red flower]

add a flag to the card

[pale holly]

info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.m_wheel_of_fortune

trying to make the info queue for the wheel of fortune but it won't work, is there something i typed wrong ?

[red flower]

c_wheel_of_fortune

[pale holly]

Ah alright, thanks

[candid sleet]

how would i fix this error text where it should also say Pink Seal

[rotund sable]

i love pressing alt+f4 instead of alt+f5

[rotund sable]

put label in your loc_txt

it's in the doc 🫣

[candid sleet]

oh thanks i forgot to check this for some reason

i was just tryna go off vanilla remade 😭

[slim ferry]

the SMODS.Back docs say that you need to use events in apply if you want to change the starting deck, but couldnt i just... not? its not like you can see the cards when you're modifying them so the timing doesnt really matter

[wind steppe]

i think the events are for timing after the deck is set to the standard

[slim ferry]

i see

[wind steppe]

without i think it applies before your deck is reset

[slim ferry]

what arguments does set_seal take again? for some reason vscode decided to just stop showing them and just says its unknown

[wind steppe]

its the seal key as a string and then vanillaremade does nil and true

i dont know what the other two arguments do

[slim ferry]

the second argument is apparently called silent

so im going to assume it mutes the sound

[wind steppe]

i think that makes it not juice up

[wintry solar]

They are silent and immediate iirc

[urban wasp]

how do i check if a voucher is owned

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.used_vouchers.<key>

[gloomy hamlet]

guys please help me, in my code hand_chips = 0work only with context.joker_main,i need to do it before played cards add score, but if i use context.before, then hand_chips = 0 dont work.

[slim ferry]

do it in context.intial_scoring_step

[wintry solar]

Also don’t do that

It won’t actually work anywhere

[slim ferry]

oh yeah modify_scoring_hand exists

doesnt it

just use that and return chips = 0

i think

[red flower]

modify_hand

similar name

[wintry solar]

Assuming you effect is to set chips to 0, use initial scoring step like Eris suggested but you’ll need to do hand_chips = mod_chips(0)

[steady smelt]

this is a dumb question

how can i just replace a vanilla texture ala resource pack but in a mod without doing any take ownership stuff

[frosty rampart]

use malverk

[steady smelt]

this is cool and i didn't know about it but also not what i asked

also it doesn't support what i'm trying to replace anyways

[frosty rampart]

as far as i'm aware "make a texture pack for malverk" is your only option if you don't want to take ownership of the vanilla atlases-

hm

[steady smelt]

i mean

phrasing was bad

[mystic river]

if you want a strict binary "this voucher is or is not owned", sure
if that's too simple you can also use SMODS.find_card() like with any other card

[steady smelt]

i probably could take ownership of the atlas

just don't wanna take ownership of a bunch of objects and manually change their atlases

did not process that that was an option though

[frosty rampart]

ah yea
yea i think taking ownership of the atlas is probably a reasonable route

[steady smelt]

guess i gotta figure out how that works then

[mystic river]

alternately you could take ownership of the item and change its atlas+pos to your own atlas

which option is better depends on what exactly you're doing

[steady smelt]

^ yeah that'd be really inconvenient for this

trying to get rid of the stupid gradient on high contrast cards bc it's inconsistent with other stuff in my mod

[mystic river]

ah yeah, if you're changing several items, the atlas is probably easier

[steady smelt]

so atlas ownership def easier

way more used to modding other games where you can just drop a texture in the vanilla texture's filepath with the same name and it overwrites it

[wintry solar]

Card colours are done by deck skins, you can just create one of those

I’m of the opinion that blanket replacing vanilla textures with no option to stop that from happening is a bad choice

[slim ferry]

is there any case where create_card is called before G.GAME is initialized?

i assume not but just to be sure

[wintry solar]

Maybe the splash screen?

[gloomy hamlet]

alr it worked, ty all

[gilded goblet]

you too, huh?

i hate doing that

[rotund sable]

My favorite part is being clueless and waiting for Balatro to open

[vocal helm]

How can I check in a joker is a pseudorandom effect fails, and what are some of the main contexts for it to happen? (i.e. Wheel of Fortune failing, Glass Cards breaking, Lucky Cards not triggering, etc.)

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a ctrl f pseudorandom_result

[vocal helm]

thanks! :D

[wheat jewel]

trying to make a joker give money if the volume level is at a randomly generated value but it never does so, is there a better way to check?

[steady smelt]

this is fair and i think mostly applies to actually substantial/noticeable changes but i'll prob have a config or smth for it anyways

a deckskin wouldn't make sense for this anyways

[red river]

is there a way to access the last hand played prior an arbitrary moment in a run?

by "last hand" i mean the cards that have been played in that hand

[frail parcel]

why doesnt this work

[steady smelt]

your path is missing an S

or your texture has an extra S, your pick

[frail parcel]

i see

[wheat jewel]

bump

[ocean sinew]

I think what you're trying to do is supposed to use context.joker_main instead?

[steady smelt]

try printing the music volume and card level so you can see what they are, i assume music volume can be a decimal or something or is on a range from 0 to 1

unless it is a context issue, idk enough about those

also math.random(1, 100) is redundant, math.random(100) defaults to random integer from 1 to 100

[rotund sable]

Balatro modders best friend.
The print function

[steady smelt]

if you don't have stupid dumbly named print functions built into your mod what are you even doing

[rotund sable]

i have a function that freezes balatro for a given amount of time

[steady smelt]

i have this and if i remove it the game crashes on launch

[rotund sable]

why...

[wheat jewel]

Lemme try that real quick

[steady smelt]

three

[wheat jewel]

i want it to proc before scoring

[ocean sinew]

I think you don't need context.main_eval just context.before(not sure though but worth a try)

[steady smelt]

i'm not sure i realised you could type things into a command line in-game

or that there even was one

[frosty rampart]

debugplus

[rotund sable]

debugplus mod

[steady smelt]

yeah i have that

[rotund sable]

/

[steady smelt]

im just dense

[frosty rampart]

hold tab for the awesome debugplus cheat sheet

[steady smelt]

yesyes

i also can't read

[wheat jewel]

the value doesn't print somehow

ingame nothing is printed

unless you're editing yahimod for whatever reason you're probably better off placing an issue report at it's github than asking here https://github.com/Yahiamice/yahimod-balatro/issues

Is there any way I could play an animation after cards are scored but before they're discarded? I'm trying to do a Strength or Midas Mask style effect but it happens while the cards are flying away

[red cradle]

how can i make the animation of changing score requirement like that? (Bunco, Hedge Trimmer) I looked through the entire mod code, but I still didn't understand what was responsible for it.

[cursive gazelle]

Rest well warrior, for tomorrow we have another ui coding session

last sticker question before im done with stickers

can i move my sticker up dynamically (i.e. via code)? i want other cards to have my sticker at the bottom but have cards like these move the sticker up

bluh

[clear ocean]

is there a reason why when you click on stakes when starting on your modded stake it gives this error, is there something i miss

i wonder if there is a way to make like a G.C.SILVER

[red flower]

you need to remove the prefix from the applied stakes or it tries to get it from your mod

[red flower]

G.C.SILVER = HEX("FFFFFF") whatever code

[clear ocean]

in like the main.file or it has to be a lovely patch

[red flower]

anywhere

this is for the stake thing #💻・modding-dev message

[clear ocean]

are you supposed to have that in the main file?

[red flower]

in here

[vocal helm]

yeah, but it still pulls away during the animation

[loud summit]

hey so what kind of crash completely bypasses the crash screen and closes the game outright

[clear ocean]

you better not make a joker that crashes the game

[red flower]

what about in final_scoring_step instead of after

[loud summit]

no im trying to figure out why a mod is crashing and theres no crash screen

[red flower]

infinite loop

[vocal helm]

i'll try that, I just hope it doesn't make the cards break lol

[red flower]

stack overflow

[loud summit]

ive seen stack overflow trigger the crash screen...

[red flower]

yeah but not always

[loud summit]

ok does TOGApack have any known crashes

[clear ocean]

to get the colour is it like C:G.C.SILVER?

[loud summit]

like at start of roun

[red flower]

try https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1307810407389593630

[red flower]

no, if you defined it as G.C.SILVER then it's just that

although I would recommend giving it a mod prefix

ah wait i understand now

[clear ocean]

1. is there a way to define something like c:silver
2. is it like g.c.farceur_silver for getting a mod prefix

[red flower]

for description text you need this https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-my-own-custom-colors-to-use-in-descriptions

[clear ocean]

do you need to use loc_colour() every time you use it?

[red flower]

no just once when you define it

[marble stratus]

u

im beggimg pls halpe

[red flower]

sorry i dont think anyone here will be familiar with yahimod's codebase

[clear ocean]

G.C.SILVER = HEX("bec7d4")
loc_colour()
G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.fSilver = HEX('bec7d4')

yahia probably summoned a demon for yahimod

[red flower]

you can do G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.fSilver = G.C.SILVER

[clear ocean]

actually fire thanks

[marble stratus]

aew maen

[red cradle]

can someone else help?

[clear ocean]

should i go for a darker gray

[red cradle]

i think yes

[winter flower]

im trying to get it so that the randomized quote gets changed at a set range
and now all my variables are messed up

[frosty rampart]

this is only tangentially related but i'd recommend making your own content in a separate mod that just has yahimod as a dependency

[marble stratus]

a h

idk how do that but ill find out#

[winter flower]

yahimod is exceedingly unstable in terms of gp and coding internally so unfortunately getting guaranteed help isn't easy

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#4-basic-mod step 4 here (should jump straight to it)

[marble stratus]

ah ty anyways

[marble stratus]

alr ^w^

[near heart]

how can i make a joker that is forced to the right side like with pinned?

[cursive gazelle]

Give it pinned sticker

[near heart]

pinned is left side

[cursive gazelle]

Ah

Make a sticker like pinned

Tho i think it’s an smods function

Not sure

Yup

It’s handled in cardarea.lua

You may wanna take a look at it

[sonic cedar]

how can you get the most played hand of the run OUTSIDE of context?

like this one used here (ingame left, code right)

like can i just recreate the loop and use it?

[red cradle]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#why-does-my-card-crash-when-i-hover-over-it-in-the-collection

[sonic cedar]

???

[sonic cedar]

ahhh thats why

thank you

[cursive gazelle]

Hai toma

[sonic cedar]

hi s

[cursive gazelle]

Sorry he was faster

[sonic cedar]

the blurb linked to the collection crash bit so i was confused lmao

[cursive gazelle]

:D

[red flower]

its the girl from the video

[gilded goblet]

any advice apart from "just move the sticker up in your atlas"?

[cursive gazelle]

Wait i have a meme for this

[red cradle]

someone?

[sonic cedar]

move the sticker down

[red flower]

eremel talked about redesigning the sticker system to allow that but probably not soon

[sonic cedar]

youd probably overwrite the scoring ui itself

[vocal helm]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- i think we have to do this for stone cards
        if context.modify_scoring_hand and not context.blueprint then
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_stone') then
                return {
                    add_to_hand = true
                }
            end
        end
        -- change stuff after scoring
        if context.post_joker then
            local stones = 0
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(playing_card, 'm_stone') and 
                SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'j8mod_metamorphic', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                    stones = stones + 1
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        trigger = 'after',
                        func = function()
                            playing_card:set_ability('m_glass')
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    return true
                end
            end
            if stones > 0 then
                return {
                    message = localize('k_upgrade'),
                    colour = G.C.TEXT_INACTIVE,
                    message_card = card
                }
            end
        end
    end

sorry for the ping; rewrote things a bit and while it seems to work for the very first stone card played, it doesn't seem like it affects any other ones
tried looking at splash to see if the other stones were just not counted but I don't think that helped either

[sonic cedar]

granted i hate ui so i have no idea but

[red cradle]

I'm afraid of people who write all the code in one huge file

[sonic cedar]

bunco gaming

[red cradle]

it sounds like something complicated(

[red flower]

remove this return true

[sonic cedar]

oh wait lmao

[red flower]

also you dont need this for stone cards they always score lol

[vocal helm]

ahh fuck, didn't even consider i was returning early

thanks :D

[red cradle]

thats without animation

thats the main problem

[gilded goblet]

cool cool

[modern kindle]

one huge file is awesome though

[gilded goblet]

overall then im done with stickers

[sonic cedar]

? the chip text doesnt change for you?

[red cradle]

change, but its ugly

[sonic cedar]

ohhhh

i got nothing then sorry

[red flower]

i mean i dont have anything else to say other than the previous answer of "use an ease event"

[red cradle]

big difference

[modern kindle]

I dont really see how its ugly, its just a number change

[red cradle]

so

its boring

idk

[clear ocean]

you would like it to something like decrease by one or do a little juice

[red cradle]

like this, but I just want to change the simple jumping from a number to a number.

[clear ocean]

you could do a small for loop where it's decrease by one by the number

[clear ocean]

not sure if that worked

it's a gimp moment lol

yeah that's better

[red cradle]

pretty cool, i think

[robust marsh]

how would i go about removing the consumable card area for a specific deck

[red cradle]

i made this, but it still do it instantly, how can i make gaps of time between changing text?

[clear ocean]

probably a simple wait method

[red flower]

probably make the card_limit for it always 0 and setting G.consumeables.states.visible = false is the easiest

[red flower]

use an ease event!!!!!!

[red cradle]

?

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager

[red cradle]

Where have you been before(...

[robust marsh]

awesomesauce

[clear ocean]

here are some ideas for stakes to split the sticker stakes:

1. have the final boss ante at 10
2. shop prices increase
3. re-rolls increase or limited amount of re-rolls
4. smaller selection in booster packs
5. vouchers only appear every even ante

[red cradle]

so, what should i put into ref_value?

[red flower]

ref_table = G.GAME.blind, ref_value = "chip_text"

[clear ocean]

feel free to suggest

[red cradle]

silly me, im write ref_table = G.GAME, ref_value = "blind.chip_text"

[wintry solar]

yeah the stake applied page is broken

[clear ocean]

aw man

maybe could do a scrollable list or make a second table like one for vanilla and modded stakes

[wintry solar]

it just needs to be fixed, it's on my list to do at some point

[clear ocean]

👍

[red cradle]

it uses decimal numbers, may i avoid this?

[wintry solar]

put func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end) this in

[frosty dock]

eremel

[sonic cedar]

can i unlock check at the end of a run?

[frosty dock]

am i going insane or is there an issue with quantum enhancements when they're applied based on chance

[wintry solar]

wdym

[frosty dock]

i just tested this scenario for #945

and I've verified the chance itself goes through

but the quantum lucky cards never trigger

unless the chance for them to be lucky is guaranteed

[sonic cedar]

asking cause i did this and it didnt work

[wintry solar]

hmmm

I don't remember how often they're updated

I get 22 calls of check enhancement when I play one

[frosty dock]

tried 2/3 chance to count as lucky, not a single lucky trigger out of 50-ish cards played with luck doubled on lucky cards

the math ain't mathing there

on the bright side, the infinite getter loop fix works flawlessly

[wintry solar]

I just tried 3/4 to count as bonus and it worked fine

it also didnt loop infinitely

and I'm not on that PR

[frosty dock]

it's about combinations of getter contexts that call into each other

like above "Double probabilities on lucky cards" and "X in Y chance for playing cards to count as Lucky cards"

this inflooped for me on main

[wintry solar]

oh true I don't have the double prob bit

the X in Y works for me though

[frosty dock]

but the lucky triggers don't happen when prob mod isn't there either

[wintry solar]

there's definitely some jank going on though, it changes depending on the order I select the cards

can we delete all quantum things pls

[frosty dock]

did 24/25 to count as bonus just now (on main and with hopefully no other shenanigans) and it's counting about 1/6 of the cards as bonus

[wintry solar]

the caching is definitely borked

[frosty dock]

at least the infloop fix has nothing to do with it so I'm still fine merging it

[frosty dock]

least scuffed part of quantum enhancements

[wintry solar]

when does the cache get cleared?

[frosty dock]

I'm not gonna act like I remember anything about the quantum enhancements implementation

[wintry solar]

oh it gets cleared every frame lol

[frosty dock]

it should get cleared at least at the start of every update loop

[versed swan]

A bit off-topic but i really wanna express this thought: My biggest gripe with most of these features is that documentation for pre-existing features isn't even done; I've heard this from someone else: we shouldn't be introducing these new features when documentation for most existing features isn't even complete

I'd find these new features less problematic if we actually documented them, then at least we might have a bit of a better grasp on them and potentially improve implementations

[wintry solar]

There aren't that many old features that don't have some form of docs afaik

And writing docs for stuff isn't fun

[frosty dock]

afaik docs are mostly incomplete for newer features, like more recent calc contexts

[spice wadi]

I think the benefits of new features outweighs the problem of missing docs

Id rather have a useful feature and have to do some digging than not have it at all

[wintry solar]

there are a load of contexts missing because I haven't had the motivation to finish my rewrite of them

but if you are slightly familiar with how contexts work, they're easy enough to find in the code

[spice wadi]

This should go without saying but take your time dude, it's awesome you're doing it at all

[versed swan]

I've been hesitant to assist with documentation because I was grossly unfamiliar with SMODS code, but after several times that required me to look into such, I could - and should - help out at this point

[red flower]

also i put a lot of them in vanillaremade for this reason :3

[versed swan]

I've been working on documentation discipline for a while now - via mods and the modded wiki - so I really gotta put it to good use

[wintry solar]

I think it's mostly the blind calc ones that aren't there (and a handful of others) but those can all be done with the blind methods anyway

[red flower]

the blind calc ones are very useful (thank you aure)

[versed swan]

I think it sets a bit of a sour precedent, i.e. then everyone is not expected to help with documentation, and then it spirals out of control and suddenly half of the project is undocumented or outdated

[wintry solar]

but if you want to help out with documenting stuff, feel free. I've always said that I don't have the time to be reviewing wiki PRs, but if people can comment on them and the consensus is they are good, I'm happy to merge them when notified

on the other hand, I'm also commited to writing up detailed stuff in the release notes for any new features that are added, that can be lifted directly to the wiki at some point when there's an idea of where it should sit (I do realise that this isn't ideal for linking to though)

see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919 for reference

[clear ocean]

jade or jadeite?

white - silver
red - ruby
green - jadeite

black - quartz
blue - jasper
purple - amethyst
orange - carnelian
gold - lapis
``` this is the gemstones i have come up with

[long sun]

jade, i say

oh, question

wait no nevermind ^u^;

[gilded goblet]

jaded stake /hj

[gaunt phoenix]

Does someone have an idea of why it's crashing ? couldn't fully figure out how juice_card_until works :/

[gilded goblet]

are you working with stakes?

err i mean

stickers

:3c

[clear ocean]

both

[long sun]

okay wait new question

[long sun]

i'm a bit lost as to how i'd implement my Joker

so, my Joker has a MORE menu

(or, at least, i'd like it to have one)

when MORE is selected, it should open a menu with a text field

[slim ferry]

ui 😨

[long sun]

the ui's not the hard part here :3

[gilded goblet]

try juice_card_until(card, eval, true)

[long sun]

so

[slim ferry]

steal cryptid's code card text field

[long sun]

i have a variable called G.GAME.phanta_death_note_cards

[slim ferry]

🧠

[long sun]

i did that :3

[slim ferry]

oh okay

[long sun]

it's an indexed array of all owned Death Note cards

[gaunt phoenix]

Working, tysm

[long sun]

when the MORE button is pressed, it should call the run_deathnote_menu function

first question: how can i pass in the card that the MORE was pressed on as an argument to this function?

wait i may already have this sorted

if ref_table is the same as e then i've solved that problem

okay i may actually have just coded everything myself ;u;

untested

okay wait actually, question

what exactly is ref_table?

wait no nevermind

rare case of localthunk documenting his code

awesome sauce

[lament agate]

what functions should i hook to mess with the shop's content again

[clear ocean]

what do you think

[frosty dock]

???

[lament agate]

???

[clear ocean]

not sure if carnelian (the one below lapis) is too close to jasper

what do you think

plan to have half stickers and half adding some difficultly but not fully sure yet what would make it balanced

[gilded goblet]

i wish you luck in your stake/sticker journey

[sonic cedar]

bumping this

[clear ocean]

silver :
ruby > no sell value

jadeite : 
quartz > no edition / only base edition 

jasper : 
amethyst > cannot be duplicated (ankh/invisible) or reappear (showman)

carnelian :
lapis > cannot be copied by another Joker (blueprint/brainstorm)
``` got the stickers down i think

[gilded goblet]

also lmk if u have trouble with setting stickers up cuz i spent a the whole day yesterday trying to get it to work lmfao

[clear ocean]

🙏

[gilded goblet]

do not wanna have people go through that 😭

[clear ocean]

feel free to suggest and any would be good, where in the placement:

1. big blind gives no reward money
2. limited about of rerolls
3. rerolls cost extra
4. items cost more
5. one less booster selection
6. mega and/or jumbo booster packs don't show
7. vouchers only show each even OR odd ante
8. final boss blind is increased to nine or ten
9. interest per x is increased / interest max is lowered

[lament agate]

_ _

[frosty rampart]

does context.post_trigger not work in a seal's calculate
literally this is all i have and it's not printing anything
(to reiterate, this is a seal, not a joker)

and yes i know it's an optional feature, i should have it enabled already

[red flower]

i think it only works on jokers but i could be wrong

[frosty rampart]

dang

[sonic cedar]

why is this not letting me open the game

[azure laurel]

dumb question, whats the key for the tarot card the justice?

[cursive gazelle]

C_justice

Set=“Tarot”

[azure laurel]

c in capital letters?

[cursive gazelle]

No

Lowercase

[azure laurel]

okay thanks

[real night]

how do you check when a playing card is retriggered

[long sun]

have i made my UI correctly? the text box is blank until i click on it, the prompt text doesn't appear, and the UI box shifts upwards when the textbox is selected

[high verge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/515673984197459971/1414036168751841330/Discord_9UMKn9zlzW.gif?ex=68be1b4e&is=68bcc9ce&hm=931caf92e96bac4c12b819654e97df072bdcd0476cf0472b654c8da99ffdcc6a&

Slow as balls but I will find the right frame count to make it play smoothly

[long sun]

@red flower sorry for the ping but i'd like two cents from u ^u^

[red flower]

idk anything about text input sorry

[long sun]

👍

[high verge]

I'm so sad

I think there might be a frame limit after all

It looped early

[long sun]

mm, try looking at what Phanta does, it's worked well for me

[sonic cedar]

bump..... adding a nil check to the G.GAME.hands didnt help......

[high verge]

Wait no I'm a moron and put in the wrong frame count

[long sun]

oh lol :3

[cursive gazelle]

Miku jumpscare

[high verge]

Okay I just need to figure out getting in audio to play when the card is visible and pick a better joker ability and this is done

[cursive gazelle]

Just do it when it’s added to deck

[high verge]

Implying I know how to code this is bastardized from Aura

[cursive gazelle]

Ha

Just call the smods function when add_to_deck

Idk what it’s called SMODS.Sound of SMODS.Music

Idk

[red flower]

something like

SMODS.Sound {
    key = "music_badapple",
    path = "badapple.ogg",
    sync = false,
    pitch = 1,
    select_music_track = function()
        return next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) and math.huge or false
    end,
}

[cursive gazelle]

Does smods.find check every card area

[long sun]

perfect, i did something simiilar :D

[cursive gazelle]

Including the collection

[red flower]

no

just jokers

[long sun]

no

[cursive gazelle]

Just G.jokers

[long sun]

ya

[red flower]

checking any time it is on screen is a bit harder

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah

[red flower]

its probably not that hard but i cant think of a way rn its too late

[cursive gazelle]

Can’t you call it when the animation starts

You’re in Argentina wdym too late

It’s 1 Am for me

[red flower]

9 pm is late

[long sun]

same here 🤝

[high verge]

Welp

[cursive gazelle]

Sorry unc

[high verge]

Aura crashes Malverk settings from opening

So this might not work after all

[cursive gazelle]

Why are you making animations with aura

[high verge]

Because I don't know how to otherwise xDD

[cursive gazelle]

I think bepis made an example

[high verge]

If you can send that to me that'd be great. I am late for a vr concert!

[cursive gazelle]

I think using aura is a bad choice because, that’s +1 dependency

[high verge]

Aura isn't a dependency it's another mod that adds animations to cards that I adapted to play on the bad apple card instead

[cursive gazelle]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1341041293119459449

Also you can ask them he’s pretty active but he also lives in asia so it’s too late for him now

[clear ocean]

how about this:
silver - re-rolls increase by one dollar
jade - items increase by one dollar
jasper - one less booster selection
carnelian - interest max is lowered from twenty to ten

i think eight would be bad since with the two stakes scaling it might make most runs hard

maybe the booster selection or the vouchers one what do you guys think

[gilded goblet]

these all sound like pain

[gilded goblet]

is silver per ante

ante 1 = $5
ante 2 = $6
so on and so forth

[clear ocean]

both are static just a global increase by one

[gilded goblet]

oh lol

im stupid

that sounds cool

[clear ocean]

yeah its okay

are jasper and carnelian good?

[gilded goblet]

i cant even beat gold stake normally these would absolutely destroy me

[clear ocean]

same...

[gilded goblet]

maybe from 25 to 15 for carnelian

[clear ocean]

i don't mind making a challange for others though 😅

[clear ocean]

oh shit i just realised that wouldn't work since its just max five without vouchers 😭

[cursive gazelle]

Interest cap is 25 , do you mean card as (items )

[clear ocean]

interest cap but there's the vouchers woops

will need to come up with something else

[cursive gazelle]

No it’s fine

Red deck gives +1discard and blue stake take it from you

Lol

Also nice ideas i really like them

[clear ocean]

isnt blue stake getting a rework?

[cursive gazelle]

We’ll have to wait for the ipdate

[clear ocean]

is DARK_EDITION for all editions

[cursive gazelle]

Honestly idk why’s it taking so long , are the ideas not planned yet ?

[gilded goblet]

thankfully yeah

[cursive gazelle]

Or is local thunk just on a vacation

[gilded goblet]

hes cookin

[clear ocean]

i mean even if its the latter localthunk deserves it but its more so that

it has to go through qa and making sure that localisation and cross platform support works

[cursive gazelle]

I think he said there’s going to be 1 new joker

[gilded goblet]

localthunk self insert??1!??

can you imagine

[clear ocean]

the fool joker

[cursive gazelle]

He’s not that type of person lol

[clear ocean]

he ain't

[cursive gazelle]

I think his self insert would be the fool since he used it as his pfp for a while

[clear ocean]

i mean i don't know him but that doesn't sound like something he would do from interviews and such

[cursive gazelle]

Tho

Some arcana cards are missing

If you noticed

Maybe

[clear ocean]

maybe...

[cursive gazelle]

And it’s a big maybe

Anyways
Great stake ideas

I’m definitely stealing some and reverting the effect

[clear ocean]

welcome to computer science finders keepers 😈

[gilded goblet]

LMFAO

its all fun and games until you come up with an idea but its already been done

[real night]

!!!

[gilded goblet]

been there done that

[cursive gazelle]

Post trigger is a thing

I think

Idk what it does

I’ve done something similar with my mod but using no calculate function

[clear ocean]

also rn i concepting and doing the art

like i mean i may or may not even finish it lol

which sounds better: can't reappear or be duplicated OR can't reappear or duplicate

[real night]

im not sure

also wouldn't that just be for triggers

[cursive gazelle]

I have no idea

[gilded goblet]

can't reappear or be duplicated

[gilded goblet]

love me a {C:attention}???{} Jokers

[clear ocean]

haven't came up with a name yet sorry

[abstract sphinx]

is there a way to see a value in another joker? i.e. reading the amount of mult that jolly joker will add. for my usecase i dont want to just read "oh jolly joker! that means 8 mult" because with mods that change other jokers' values i want it to see that and be "oh a joker with 12 mult!" if it's been changed

[real night]

please

[clear ocean]

for rerolls when increasing it just where five becomes six or every click increases it quickly

[cursive gazelle]

https://github.com/nassymdev/Fanfare/blob/8da032fdd51d18b0dda6150119580ed80561ff9f/main.lua#L855

It’s jank

But should work

[lament agate]

how do you check if a card is debuffed

[cursive gazelle]

ability.debuff ?

[lament agate]

ability.debuff?

[clear ocean]

could have cards with the rerolls and booster packs and vouchers in the other

[cursive gazelle]

Ya

[lament agate]

if ability.debuff?

[cursive gazelle]

Card.debuff i think

Context.other_card

[long sun]

problem

[lament agate]

context.other_card and card.debuff?

[cursive gazelle]

I think context.individual ignores debuffed cards so try using a for loop

[long sun]

i can patch in the ability to type apostrophes, but patching in the ability to type zeroes crashes the game

[cursive gazelle]

No

[long sun]

hook, in button_callbacks, is nil

every other digit is fine

why does zero crash the game?

[cursive gazelle]

🤷‍♀️

[real night]

idk what the fuck to do here

[cursive gazelle]

Stare at if for long enough

It ticks after the 3rd hour

[clear ocean]

could do interest per x to decrease

[real night]

PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO SOMETGING WHEN A CARD IS RETRIGGERED

😭

[cursive gazelle]

Use jokerforge

🔥

[real night]

No!

[clear ocean]

actually jokerforge might have a function for that it wouldn't hurt to check

[primal robin]

[real night]

let me see if it does

[cursive gazelle]

Look at you

After all what you said about jf

[clear ocean]

maybe interest per x increases to like ten or somewhere in the middle

or i can just come up with another stake idea

[real night]

no idt

[abstract sphinx]

actually i don't believe jokerforge has anything for that last i checked

[abstract sphinx]

wow ive looked through like every Joker mod i have installed and none do anything like this, thats immensely lame

i might very well be blind tho

[cursive gazelle]

I think i have something like that

Wait

https://github.com/nassymdev/flipside/blob/b18443c45ecedd1fedd89742f24679b25232f354/src/funcs.lua#L13

This function increases values

You can make it return values in a table instead

[abstract sphinx]

ooo

[cursive gazelle]

(Based on given operator )

[clear ocean]

how about 1 interest 5 increased to $10 or maybe $8?

[real night]

pleaseeeee

not even gonna get the first joker of suggestion box done 😔

[cursive gazelle]

Just work on something else

[clear ocean]

Interest per dollar is raised from $5 to $x?

[cursive gazelle]

That makes it 5x harder for each 1$

Not really just 5 more dollars

Lol

[clear ocean]

what is another idea that can work then

[real night]

okay let me do something easier

how do you check if the played hand contains like a specific amount of stone cards

[cursive gazelle]

For loop

And counter

[real night]

oh yeahhh

[clear ocean]

maybe -1 hand size or -1 joker slot?

not sure if the latter two are good names

[cursive gazelle]

Why’s this in vouchers

Oh nvm

[clear ocean]

sorry my mouse was hovering over vouchers when i took the screenshot 😅

not sure tailcoat and napkin are good names

[cursive gazelle]

Yeahhh…

Napkin jokers

Lol

[clear ocean]

ill keep them blank until i have a good name

are plain is a good name too

[clear ocean]

not sure if either are good

[gilded goblet]

painted deck would go crazy

[clear ocean]

wait what is that joker chip doing there

[gilded goblet]

lil easter egg (i dont actually know why, mightve been unused)

[urban wasp]

unused asset

[gilded goblet]

it looks kinda tough ngl

[cursive gazelle]

Gameplay update featuring jimbo stake

[vocal helm]

Tailcoat -> Minted
if you're making Jokers that are one-of-a-kind it'd be cool to have them named in a similar way, maybe

[clear ocean]

honestly its been fun to mess around and oh yeah since i don't plan to go all in feel free to take my ideas for your own mod

[long sun]

OH MY GODDDDD IT ACTUALLY WORKSSSS

[hidden mirage]

how to make ajoker destroy scored cards as they score? context.destroy_cards seems to be after scoring

[cursive gazelle]

More ?

[long sun]

it's great how it works with anything in P_CENTERS except for the things that i specified shouldn't work

(like Boosters, Vouchers, etc.)

[primal robin]

Good one 🥔

[daring scroll]

Just researching and learning the modding process. If I wanted my mod to tweak another mod (for instance, the abilities of another mod's Jokers), that would be done with a Lovely patch, right?

[cursive gazelle]

No

Take ownership

Lovely patches change the vanilla code

[high verge]

Okay so I'm trying to get the bepis animation setup but I'm getting an error on the joker attempt to call global 'AddRunningAnimation' [a nil value]

[cursive gazelle]

Function isn’t defined

[vocal helm]

that's really cool!!

[high verge]

How would one define it

[cursive gazelle]

It should be defined

Idk how your code looks like

[high verge]

    key = "badapple",
    config = {
        extra = {
            victim = 1,
            scale = 1,
            rotation = 1,
            odds = 6572,
            constant = 0,
            respect = 0,
            no = 0,
            var1 = 0
        }
    },
    pos = {
        x = 0,
        y = 0
    },
    AddRunningAnimation({'j_badappleanimated_badapple',0.1,99,21,'loop',0,0,card}),
    display_size = {
        w = 71 * 1, 
        h = 95 * 1
    },
    cost = 2,
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    eternal_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    atlas = 'badapple',
actual joker code yada yada}``` The Joker

The animate object code is the raw one from Bepis since I don't think you're supposed to touch that

-- SMODS.load_file("Aura.lua")()
assert(SMODS.load_file("BepisFever.lua"))() -- Testing


-- Jokers
local NFS = require("nativefs")
to_big = to_big or function(a) return a end
lenient_bignum = lenient_bignum or function(a) return a end

local function load_jokers_folder()
    local mod_path = SMODS.current_mod.path
    local jokers_path = mod_path .. "/jokers"
    local files = NFS.getDirectoryItemsInfo(jokers_path)
    for i = 1, #files do
        local file_name = files[i].name
        if file_name:sub(-4) == ".lua" then
            assert(SMODS.load_file("jokers/" .. file_name))()
        end
    end
end

load_jokers_folder()``` This is in the main lua

[cursive gazelle]

Yeah the function you’re calling doesn’t exist

And is not a joker parameter

[cursive gazelle]

You can’t just add it like that

[high verge]

Her'es the bepis code

[cursive gazelle]

(I’m on phone ) 😭

[high verge]

🫓

Unless I'm reading it wrong they said to put it there in the Joker definition and to just load the animation lua before the jokers

[long sun]

how do you instantly lose a run?

[high verge]

Get the mod that lets you fold

https://github.com/happinyz/BalatroFoldButton

It's been great for testing quips

[long sun]

cheers :D

[vocal helm]

I think that's something available in DebugPlus
