I was just about to delete my message because I thought that TwT. I'm too tired and should head to bed instead of coding this...

[daring fern]

Did you put a function in G.GAME?

[long sun]

oh -3- yes i must've

this can be fixed though

[round lion]

how do i skip the redeeming animation for a voucher

[long sun]

the game is crashing because of a nil atlas, however PhantaDeckJoker exists — i've tested that by seeing the Joker in the collection before it is changed

what did i do wrong?

[daring fern]

No, it doesn't, you're missing your mod prefix.

[long sun]

oh😭 thanks

[split saddle]

what's the best way of going about destroying a random card from the deck?

[frosty rampart]

there should be a pseudorandom function that gets a random object from a table, don't remember the name of it off the top of my head

ah it's pseudorandom_element

[split saddle]

ok

[toxic edge]

Im having an issue with making a very basic joker in the game, its saying it cant find the file path for atlas but i already have the image for the joker while being named "jokers.png" in 1x and 2x in an assets folder. Anyone now how to fix this?

Lua code:

--- STEAMMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Johnbo
--- MOD_ID: JOHNBO
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Wii_Bowler]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: I love johnboing it so good yes
--- PREFIX: Jnbo
-----------------------------------------------
---------------MOD CODE ----------------------

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'Jokers',
    path = 'Jokers.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}


SMODS.Joker{
    key = 'joker2',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Johnbo',
        text = {
            'When Johnbo is collected',
            'Give like perma mult idk'
        }

    },
    Atlas = 'Jokers',
    pos = {x = 0, y = 0}
}

-----------------------------------------------
----------------MOD CODE END -----------------

Json code:

{
    "id": "JOHNBO",
    "name": "Johnbo",
    "display_name": "Johnbo",
    "author": ["Wii_Bowler"],
    "description": "Hehehe funny johnbo",
    "prefix": "JNBO",
    "main_file": "main.lua",
    "priority": 0,
    "badge_colour": "",
    "badge_text_colour": "",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "dependencies": []
}

[frosty rampart]

capitalization matters, make sure the files are named "Jokers.png" with a capital J

[toxic edge]

they both do

[frosty rampart]

show a screenshot of the files in the file explorer app, with the path fully visible

[toxic edge]

is this good enough?

[frosty rampart]

yes
you've typo'd the assets folder as "assests"
fix that

[toxic edge]

thx man that was it

[crystal perch]

any way i could define the text highlight through a global with something like DynaText

like the equivalent of {X:mult,C:white} but in this format for use in DynaText
{string = ' +', colour = G.C.MULT}

[red flower]

not with only dynatext

you need to wrap it in a column node

check how localize does it

[round lion]

how am i meant to call blind configs? is it blind.ability.config or something

[red flower]

blind.effect or blind.config.blind.config

[crystal perch]

well i have a whole thing i just want to change the highlight colour, here's the full code

[red flower]

yeah you can't do it with only dynatext

i actually did misprint text like that before actually let me get the code

[crystal perch]

i referenced the vanilla remade docs for a lot of this

[red flower]

check a couple messages down for the code
#💻・modding-dev message

[crystal perch]

this the code?

[red flower]

yes

[crystal perch]

very cool and awesome

i will check it out

[split saddle]

i think we should have high contrast suit emojis

[crystal perch]

having an issue where the Xmult doesn't appear (either it's white and unhighligted or it's clear), and the word does not change from "Mult"

i would send the code but it can't fit in a screenshot and a message is 1744 characters over the limit

here

and the func ofc

[red flower]

the function is looking for "+50" and "X1.5" specifically

if the text can be other things then you need to check for that

[loud summit]

does the event queue "after" mode bypass the normal queue order?

[crystal perch]

alright

[loud summit]

how do you check if youre drawing cards in a booster pack

[red flower]

context.other_drawn iirc

something like that

[loud summit]

oh

that simple, huh?

[hard flume]

I wonder how hard it would be to make a coin flip

[wet stratus]

Can someone give me some guidance to learn how to start making mods for Balatro? I have made a few mods for other games Skyrim, and Baldur's gate but don't know where to start here

[frosty rampart]

check pins in #⚙・modding-general for a link to the "Balatro Modding Starter Pack"

balatro (and by extension balatro modding) is entirely in lua, so here's the reference for that too https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/

[wet stratus]

cool thank you. appreciate the help

[loud summit]

how would you have a joker store a boolean thats like only to prevent an infinite loop

like should you just put that in config { immutable }?

or is there a proper way to store "internal" variables like that

[red flower]

saving it in the config is fine

[loud summit]

ok

[red flower]

if you don't care about saving the value on a reset then it can be directly in on the card

[loud summit]

also is there a context for when a booster is closed in any way

[loud summit]

?

[red flower]

ending_booster

[loud summit]

thx

so it turns out putting a command to draw more cards in other_draw leads to an infinite loop because that alos counts as other_draw

[red flower]

if you only need the value once in a place where the game doesn't save then you don't need to save it to the config

[loud summit]

you can just do card.foo = x?

[red flower]

yeah

[loud summit]

are nil/undefined values truthy or no

[red flower]

no

[loud summit]

ok good

so its safe to just use that as a true false switch and check it before its actually set

[red flower]

yeah

[loud summit]

cool thx

[daring fern]

[split saddle]

how do i know if a card is getting destroyed by grim?

[magic steppe]

Hey, recently came back and been doing a variety of playtesting in terms of the newer mods and the like, and I'm just wondering as to why some of the cards in DeFused (Fusion Jokers except they're standalone jokers and not part of the fuse mechanic) tweak out as shown here
https://streamable.com/gxaklc

I've tested about every joker in the mod and these are the ones that have this issue, every other one doesn't have this issue

I'd ask GayCoonie (the dev of the mod) about this but from last I've searched he seems to have gone MIA

[crystal perch]

is there any possible way i could make jimbo always say "The house always wins!" if you lose by a specific condition

[magic steppe]

And to be sure, heres my co-current list of mods (after I took out the others for the sake of testing defused)

[wheat jewel]

If i want to make a method that goes through ranks in order rather than choosing a random rank, how do i go about doing so because i'm lost

[split saddle]

try iterating over SMODS.Ranks iirc

[wheat jewel]

do i set a case where it does so every time the round starts?

[split saddle]

yeah

[wheat jewel]

and how could i do that exactly

[daring fern]

Because there is no context check.

[wheat jewel]

tryna think of how to do it, whether to do it in the joker code itself or in the method i'm doing

[split saddle]

i guess if you're doing it with rounds you should probably use modulo (%) to get the index of the table

[magic steppe]

whhhhhhich would entail as to what type of card's they're set to interact with?

[wheat jewel]

like SMODS.Rank[insert modulo logic here]

[split saddle]

yea

also it's ranks plural

[wheat jewel]

would the inner logic be like G.GAME.rounds % (idk what to add on this side of the modulo operation)

[split saddle]

try SMODS.Ranks[G.GAME.current_round % #SMODS.Ranks]

[wheat jewel]

Gotcha

[wheat jewel]

so could i do something like this?

[split saddle]

i think that's good

[daring fern]

No, G.GAME.current_round is a table.

[wheat jewel]

how could i get the current round value?

[split saddle]

then idk :(

[daring fern]

You would want to do if context.other_card:get_id() == (G.GAME.round % (SMODS.Rank.max_id.value-1))+1

[wheat jewel]

and if i wanna print it in the joker description, would this work?

oh shit

forgot

to put the image

[split saddle]

idk max id value, because if there's a card that's 100 points away from the next one (like UnStable with a 161 of spades) then you'll run into a problem 🤔
but i might be wrong idk

[lyric maple]

i tried to make a joker that gives mult when a joker from my mod (kls) is sold. this doesn't seem to work and it crashes

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end

        if context.selling_card and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" and context.card ~= card and not context.blueprint and context.main_eval and context.other_card.config.center.original_mod == SMODS.Mods["kls"] then
            card.ability.extra.xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult + card.ability.extra.xmult_gain
            return {
                message = localize { type = "variable", key = "a_xmult", vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult } },
                colour = G.C.MULT,
                card = card
            }
        end
    end

[daring fern]

No, because the id is not actually 161

[split saddle]

got it

[daring fern]

Log?

[sturdy finch]

ok im probably an idiot but im stuck here
trying to do something for each joker the player has, excluding negative ones (thematic reason for this). i'm trying to check if a joker is negative but just copying over the 'check for edition' code results in a crash. assuming there's a different way i have to check this ?

[split saddle]

bump
also a screenshot of what i tried that didn't work

[split saddle]

probably crashes bc it tries to check an edition for jokers without an edition

[daring fern]

G.jokers.cards[i[.edition and G.jokers.cards[i].edition.negative

[wheat jewel]

would printing out the rank work like this or a different way?

[lament agate]

how to check each played cards and not the joker itself

again

i forgot

[sturdy finch]

thank you so much 😭

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) end

[sturdy finch]

my Toddprint is finally complete

[split saddle]

🔥
they removed reactions, literally 1984

or i can't react???

wtf

[daring fern]

It's context.card not context.other_card

[lyric maple]

i tried that too

[fathom star]

funny monkey doodoo jokers i made

[lyric maple]

actually maybe it's because my mod prefix is kls but my mod name is KLS

[split saddle]

i knew removing cards directly from the deck wasn't going to work as intended

when the joker is in play, new cards don't get added to the deck view, but removed ones do disappear

[magic steppe]

(hope im not taking up too much time on the coding assistance since I pratically know zilch about it for this game @daring fern )
but as far as I see I don't seem to have found any differences in its code from Defused and Fusion in terms of its context checks (unless im looking in the wrong place)

[daring fern]

Try looking at this version instead: https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/Fusion-Jokers/

[wheat jewel]

How can i print out the rank in the joker description without causing errors

[daring fern]

Change .rank to .key

SMODS.Ranks[(function() for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Ranks) do if v.id == ((G.GAME.round % (SMODS.Rank.max_id.value-1))+1) then return v.key end return 'Ace' end)()].key

[wheat jewel]

put this inside of the loc_vars?

[magic steppe]

dang I had the older version

[daring fern]

No, put it in localizes first input.

[wheat jewel]

like this?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wheat jewel]

ok!

i tried to do ! in the if but the syntax isn't like that

is this correct?

[split saddle]

bump

[wheat jewel]

i got an error

[daring fern]

Put do before if v.id

Also, install the lua extension.

[wheat jewel]

which extension?

for vs code?

[magic steppe]

okay hold up I think I'm getting an angle here

[daring fern]

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sumneko.lua

[wheat jewel]

got it

this is supposedly causing the issue rn

the brackets near the .key

unexpected symbol error

[magic steppe]

all I had to do was change this to this

[daring fern]

SMODS.Ranks[(function() for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Ranks) do if v.id == ((G.GAME.round % (SMODS.Rank.max_id.value-1))+1) then return v.key end end return 'Ace' end)()].key

[wheat jewel]

it's now displaying properly but the code does not work as i intend it

[daring fern]

What is currently happening?

[wheat jewel]

the joker is supposed to give $2 when a specific ranked card is scored, the gimmick is that it's supposed to go in order like it's going in a circle like a ferris wheel, but it isn't doing so during scoring

[daring fern]

if context.other_card:get_id() == (G.GAME.round % (SMODS.Rank.max_id.value-1))+1

[wheat jewel]

it worked thank you!!!

Btw quick question, i had this issue a few days ago and left it off for a bit, but i tried to make a joker that will give money based on if you change the volume level of the music, but that never gets returned by the joker at all

is there another way to do it

[magic steppe]

Now dementia joker is working flawless,

next is Flag Bearer

alrighty, easy peasy, same as dementia joker's solution, change the last if context.cardarea line

thats the last of the regular fusion jokers now cause now its time for the others

trying the context.cardarea line first

...okay wow uh

are all of these going to be fixed by just pasting "G.jokers and context.joker_main then" in their last context.cardarea line?????????

[daring fern]

Yes.

[magic steppe]

...

huh

[daring fern]

Also SMODS.Jokers doesn't exist.

[wheat jewel]

bump

[magic steppe]

well, as long as the jokers themselves aren't flipping out before I even get my first hand out I'd say its fine by me

...I say that and watch something is gonna go out of whack

well well, looks like they're all working without a hitch!

[magic steppe]

I appreciate your assistance (even if the solution was literally changing one line of code to another lol)

[hard flume]

Im working on a coin flipping mechanic. I assume that in order to get it to actually flip, I'd need to use either drawSteps and/or Shaders, right?

[daring fern]

No, you would just animate the flipping.

[hard flume]

Okay, but how? Just have a list of sprites, or can I do it in the same way playing cards are flipped?

[daring fern]

Perhaps.

[wintry solar]

FYI, context.cardarea == G.jokers will almost always be true and doesn’t really do anything

[lethal spindle]

Guys

Does anyone exactly know

how you can add a new button containing text, like Money or Ante to the left

Or maybe should I simply just ask how the Ante button code was done so I can make a copy

I really need to stop using Jokerforge

[robust marsh]

how would I hide a specific card? By hide I mean straight up just make it as if it's not there but still let it score/do its thing.

[daring fern]

card.states.visible = false

[robust marsh]

ty

[vast night]

it's me again, and this time i wanna ask where the run-initializer is, so i can hook into it. i looked at game.lua but didn't find anything there

(ps: with run-initializer i mean the function that gets ran once a new run is made)

[robust marsh]

Game:start_run ?

[vast night]

hm lemme try

[robust marsh]

oki

[vast night]

hm. idk what i did wrong, but it still crashed. could be that some calculates happen before the run was fully initialized?
ps: i just made a check to init data once its needed

[robust marsh]

can you show the code

[vast night]

-- Initialize Run Save
FATES.Data.Funcs.init_run = function ()
    G.GAME.Fates = {
        active_fates = {},
        fate_history = {}
    }
end

local start_run_ref = G.start_run
G.start_run = function (self)
    -- Before Hook
    local ret = start_run_ref(self)
    -- After Hook
    FATES.Data.Funcs.init_run()
    -- Return
    return ret
end

mb

i hooked into the wrong fun

😭

nope

[robust marsh]

local start_run_ref = Game.start_run
function Game:start_run(args)
    start_run_ref(self, args)

end

You're probably looking to do something like this

[vast night]

still nothing

[daring fern]

Code?

[robust marsh]

it's here

[daring fern]

No, Game:start_run and G:start_run are the same, you just forgot args

[daring fern]

You're looking for Game:init_game_object

[vast night]

are you sure? it just crashed my game on startup

wait

lemme test smtn

[sturdy finch]

Odd Modd is going well

[vast night]

nope

[daring fern]

No, the return of the function is G.GAME

[vast night]

oh. lemme try then

[daring fern]

How does one run balatro in balatro?

[vast night]

is that a theoretical question?

also is there an instance where i can make this be only ran once (context.cardarea = G.jokers somehow didnt work)

if context.end_of_round then

[daring fern]

No, that's a real question.

[daring fern]

context.main_eval

[vast night]

well then idfk

[vast night]

dosen't this trigger every hand, and not at the end of every round?

[daring fern]

No, it would be along with context.end_of_round

[vast night]

wowwsome tysm

[robust marsh]

what's the G.jokers.highlighted equivalent for boosters

[daring fern]

G.pack_cards.highlighted

[robust marsh]

ty

[real crown]

How possible would it be to make a Joker that puts you in limbo?
Like any time you beat the boss blind, instead of going to next Ante, the Ante restarts, the scaling on hand levels, jokers, the joker lineup itself, your money, everything goes back to what it was when you bought the limbo Joker? Of course no eternal compatibility and you could break the cycle by selling the Joker, but I'm unsure how possible it is to implement certain aspects, like scaling on other Jokers

[daring fern]

Quite possible.

You would just save everything at the start of the ante and revert everything back at the end.

[slender bay]

What would I need to put in here to create a specific joker when sold? can't quite find anything that works

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_modprefix_key'})

[slender bay]

thanks

Any suggestions to fix this?

[wintry solar]

Wolf isn’t a joker key

[slender bay]

It's an earlier key I put in, or does that not work?

[daring fern]

It's j_modprefix_key

[slender bay]

oh

hm, still crashing

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

j_yourmodprefix_thekeyofthejoker

[slender bay]

ohh

[stoic void]

I was going to say the modprefix and key need to be the actual modprefix and key

[timid narwhal]

yo, i need a lil help in making a mod...idks about mod developing but got a cool idea ig

like i was thinking of making a lil group to make these mods and stuff

[grand iris]

Hello,i wanna make a mod that replaces all jokers with custom sprites,how can i code the lua? (if you know what i'm talking about)

i really suck at coding lol

[true jasper]

beat me to it 😔

[hidden mirage]

rules = {
        modifiers = {dollars = 20}
    }```
why does this not crash but doesnt do anything in a challenge

[daring fern]

modifiers = {{id = 'dollars', value = 20}}

[real crown]

If I do
if context.playing_card_added then local card = context.cards...
Will card contain all cards that got added, or does it get called for each card one by one, so doing it for 1 card is enough?

[hidden mirage]

thankyou 😬

[daring fern]

cards is the table of cards that were added.

[real crown]

Thank you!

[mystic river]

are these not the same table?? how do i get the cards i returned up there

... hello computer i marked that up -

these tables

[daring fern]

Yes, they are, but card here would be a table of cards.

[mystic river]

so like

{
 1 = {card, card, card, card, card},
 2 = {card, card, card, card, card},
 3 = {card, card, card, card, card},
 4 = {card, card, card, card, card},
}

??

[daring fern]

No, it would be {{card, card, card, card, card}}

Because cards is a table of cards, and you're returning that but in another table.

[mystic river]

... aha. i see. what i did

so the problem is that i'm stupid, but in a completely different place than expected

[vernal path]

same tbh

[slim ferry]

what the fuck does this even mean

[cursive gazelle]

It mean that the function returns one or more value and calling it without assigning it results might lead to bugs

You need to do

local new_card = SMODS.change_base(G.hand.highlighted[i], nil, card.ability.extra.rank_conv)```

[wintry solar]

no you don't

[slim ferry]

why would i need to store the value when its just changing an existing card

[cursive gazelle]

That’s what i understood from the comment

[wintry solar]

you should just do assert(SMODS.change_base(blablabla))

[cursive gazelle]

OHHHHHH

[wintry solar]

in case it fails

it's not needed though

[real crown]

        if context.playing_card_added then
            local card = context.cards
            for _, card in ipairs(context.cards or {}) do
                if card.get_id and card:get_id() == 12 then
                    local _card = copy_card(card, nil, nil, G.playing_card)
                    _card:add_to_deck()
                    G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                    table.insert(G.playing_cards, _card)
                    G.hand:emplace(_card)
                    _card.states.visible = nil

                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            _card:start_materialize()
                            return true
                        end
                    }))

                    return {
                        message = 'I just want to make you happy!',
                        colour = G.C.PURPLE
                    }
                end
            end
        end
    end```

Is there a simple way to display the message without returning? If I return, then if a second queen is added (e.g.: cryptid), only one gets copied, but if I remove the return it works properly, without message though.
I know it's an option do display the message x number of times after it's all done, but I want it displayed as it happens.

[daring fern]

Put the return after the for loop.

[real crown]

Then it wouldn't display the message for each copy, right?

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'message'}, card)

[slim ferry]

if you want that you would use SMODS.calculate_effect(<return table>, card) in place of returning iirc

[real crown]

Thank you, works like a charm!

Whoops I just noticed I redefined card multiple times too so it didn't know where to put it, but fixed

[hidden mirage]

how to get a pseudorandom value from 0-1 or just a random int within bounds?

[cursive gazelle]

You can do math.random() but it will be different each time even in the same seed

[cursive gazelle]

Pseudorandom(“seed”)

[rotund sable]

pseudorandom("seed")

[cursive gazelle]

[hidden mirage]

hmm who should i trust

[cursive gazelle]

Pseudorandom

Obviously

[hidden mirage]

and is there a table inbuilt of every tag,vouncher,edition etc

[cursive gazelle]

What do you want to do exactly

[hidden mirage]

its fine i will just make a table manually

[cursive gazelle]

suit yourself

[slim ferry]

no the game just magically knows what tags and vouchers and editions there are

🧠

[cursive gazelle]

Lua is magic

[hidden mirage]

hm true

sorry

[cursive gazelle]

[slim ferry]

the tables are G.P_TAGS, G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Voucher, and G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Edition btw

[cursive gazelle]

🏊

[slim ferry]

why art thou swimming

[cursive gazelle]

Edition pool

[hidden mirage]

👍

[slim ferry]

does pseudorandom_element ignore elements with value nil?

[cursive gazelle]

I mean probably

[daring fern]

Yes, because they don't exist.

how do i make it check if a joker is blueprint compatible? this isnt working

[slim ferry]

use a for loop first of all

[wintry solar]

G.jokers.cards[yellowprint_value].config.center.blueprint_compat but this will loop infinitely if you don't have any compatible jokers

[north stone]

okay thanks

[slim ferry]

does get_current pool return a table of tables or of object keys?

[red flower]

keys

[hard flume]

Does anyone know how Balatro does the flipping animation for playing cards? Id like to try to recreate it myself

[slim ferry]

card:flip()

[hard flume]

Yes, but like. Where is it stored so I can look at the code so I can recreate it for my own purposes?

(I need to create a coin flipping animation)

[slim ferry]

i imagine somewhere in functions/common_events.lua

[hard flume]

Ty

[wintry solar]

it'll be in card.lua

[hidden mirage]

 if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'jackpot', 1, card.ability.extra.odds) then
                context.other_card:set_ability('m_gold', nil, true)```
why is other_card nil

[wintry solar]

event shenanigans

do local _card = context.other_card and then _card:set_ability(...)

[hidden mirage]

Yep figured

thanks

[real crown]

I don't remember there being such a functionality in the game, what's the way of having a Joker triggered when it's destroyed? Can it even trigger at that time, or is it already gone and the code won't run for that?

Specifically destroyed, not sold

[still cedar]

Why does this error appear when I hover over a joker in a collection?

[daring fern]

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

[still cedar]

thanks

[north stone]

how would i go about making a joker that checks if you have two specific ranks of card in your played hand

[faint yacht]

...my first Joker has been just that.

[cursive gazelle]

Seeing double but change suits to ranks

[north stone]

awesome thanks man

[long sun]

i'm trying to add my mods to the Mod Manager, but i need access to push to a branch

how did you guys do it?

[maiden phoenix]

Submit a pr

[long sun]

i don't have access to push to a branch to make the PR though

my commit history

[wintry solar]

fork it first

[long sun]

ah -3-

i've never done that before, so lemme figure that out

[wintry solar]

it's a god awful method of submitting mods tbh

[long sun]

oh it's positively terrible

i haven't tested this at all

[agile path]

good morning chat

config = { extra = { odd_one = 1, odd_two = 5 }, },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.odd_one,card.ability.extra.odd_two } }
    end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and pseudorandom('adhd_joker', card.ability.extra.odd_one, card.ability.extra.odd_two) then
            return {
                mult = 15
            }
        end
    end
}

this isn't doing a 1 in 5
it's doing a 5 in 5

[long sun]

the pseudorandom value will always return true

you're not comparing it against anything, and it will always exist

[agile path]

so, what changes do i make?

[long sun]

use SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "heartbreak", 1, card.ability.extra.odds) instead

[agile path]

ahhh, okay

[long sun]

and change ur loc_vars to something resembling this ^u^

but change the heartbreak to your random key

okay i've forked it, and i've made a commit on the fork

how do i make this a pull request ;u;

[still cedar]

Why this error appear?

[long sun]

remove one of the ends after the if

[hidden mirage]

trying again 💀

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local _card = context.other_card

                _card:set_ability('m_gold', nil, true)```why is context.other_card nil

[long sun]

ah no nevermind i've got it ^u^ thanks

[wintry solar]

are you getting a crash? can you share it?

[hidden mirage]

its when the chance hits

[wintry solar]

and can you share your code with line numbers?

[wintry solar]

you're still using context.other_card in an event

line 32

it tells you where the problem is

[hidden mirage]

yikes

sorry and thankyou

[robust marsh]

I don't understand why this is happening since i'm not giving ease_hands_played a table at any point

[wispy falcon]

Any idea how I would make a consumable change into a random joker every round?

[red flower]

do you take ownership of something

[robust marsh]

no

[red flower]

my guess is you're passing card.ability.extra to ease_hands_played

[robust marsh]

that's what is happening but i'm not sure why at all. It's likely because of how the deck works but it makes no sense. It's made to reroll jokers at the start of each round

i can paste the code here but yeah, i am completely clueless

[wispy falcon]

What's the table with all jokers in the game (vanilla and modded)?

[daring fern]

‎

[daring fern]

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker

[keen atlas]

try hooking ease_hands_played and print debug.traceback if passed value is not a number

[robust marsh]

it's straight up returning { odds = 2, dollars = 1 }

i do not get why

[wispy falcon]

How do I make it change back when the flag is true? Do I use the flag in every Joker?

[hidden mirage]

 _card:set_ability(pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Enhanced, 'jackpot1'), nil, true)
  G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      func = function()
          _card:juice_up()
          return true
      end
  }))
   return {message = "msg"}```how to have message show right before enhancement?

[wispy falcon]

At the end of a round

[long sun]

is there a context for when Cash Out is pressed?

[daring fern]

context.starting_shop

[long sun]

awesome ^U^ thanks

[robust marsh]

it appears that burglar was kicking the bucket because the jokers were getting rerolled in the middle of the blind so yeah, i'll just make the reroll happen in a safer spot.

[wispy falcon]

Yes. It would change into a random joker when a blind is selected and turn back into itself at the end of the round

So how would I change it back again?

[wispy falcon]

bump

I currently have this but the calculate doesn't apply to it anymore, when it changed into a joker

        if context.blind then
            local RNGesus = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, "scorpioJoker")
            card:set_ability(RNGesus)
            Is_from_scorpio = true
        end

        if context.end_of_round and Is_from_scorpio == true then
            Is_from_scorpio = false
            card:set_ability("c_cstorm_scorpio")
        end
    end```

[daring fern]

Yes, because it doesn't exist anymore.

[glossy sky]

Is there a way to check if another joker becomes debuffed?

[wispy falcon]

And how do I make it change back then?

[daring fern]

You flag the card, and you change it back in the mod calculate

[wispy falcon]

What do I use instead of card?

        Is_from_scorpio = false
        card:set_ability("c_cstorm_scorpio")
    end```

[slim ferry]

nothing

mod calculate is just self, context

[rocky osprey]

hi chat, i wanted to ask how the level color text on planet cards work? i did this but the colors didnt show up

exoplanet.lua

...
    config = {
        hand_type = "sp_plateau",
     },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level,
                localize(card.ability.hand_type, 'poker_hands'),
                G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].l_mult,
                G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].l_chips,
                colours = { (G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level == 1 and G.C.UI.TEXT_DARK or G.C.HAND_LEVELS[math.min(7, G.GAME.hands[card.ability.hand_type].level)]) }
            }
        }
    end,
...

en-us.lua

c_sp_j1407b = {
    name = "J1407b",
    text = {
        '({V:1}lvl.#1#{}) Levels up {C:attention}#2#{}',
        '{C:blue}+#4#{} Chips and',
        '{C:red}+#3#{} Mult'
    }
},

yes i know i got the chips and mult swapped i'll change it later

[wispy falcon]

So I leave card in there?

[slim ferry]

no

you dont use anything

like i said in the message right after thatg

[slim ferry]

did you level up the hand? at level 1 its just the default text colour

[rocky osprey]

yeah i did

[wispy falcon]

So I replace it with SMODS.set_ability("c_cstorm_scorpio")?

[slim ferry]

what

oh

no because you need to target a card

so you need to actually find the card you need to turn back first

oh i thought you meant for mod calculate

yeah no you gotta loop over everything and check what cards need to be transformed

[rocky osprey]

supposed to be green right

[slim ferry]

i dont know the exact level colours but it definitely shouldnt be that colour

strange

[rocky osprey]

hmm

[real crown]

Is there a way to have the hand size adapt to the joker's config?
From what I can find Jokers that change hand size only do it on adding to deck and removing from deck, and Bean does every time remove 1 from it
But is there a way to not continously change it, but just like set the hand size change from this Joker, and it'll adapt if it the hand size variable of the Joker changes from 1 to 2?

[slim ferry]

i'd make an issue in vanillaremade since that seems to be where you got the code from

[rocky osprey]

yeah that's where most people tell me to get the code

[slim ferry]

turtle bean just subtracts the hand size by 1 and its own variable by 1 seperately

so the way is to just modify the config and hand size by the same amount

[real crown]

Yeah that's my issue with it, I'd rather have it track its own variable

That sounds annoying, thank you!

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
    if v.c_cstorm_scorpio then
        v:set_ability("c_cstorm_scorpio")
    end
end

[wispy falcon]

It still is the joker...

[slim ferry]

correct

and youre changing it back

[daring fern]

Are you setting card.c_cstorm_scorpio?

[wispy falcon]

Where?

[slim ferry]

when you transform the consumable

[robust marsh]

what would i hook into to prevent the boss blind from refreshing blinds when you beat it

[daring fern]

get_new_boss?

[red flower]

?

[slim ferry]

guh

[wispy falcon]

I'm doing calculate = function (self, card, context) if context.blind then local RNGesus = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, "scorpioJoker") card:set_ability(RNGesus) Is_from_scorpio = true end end in the consumable itself and ```if context.end_of_round and Is_from_scorpio == true then
Is_from_scorpio = false

    for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
        if v.c_cstorm_scorpio then
            v:set_ability("c_cstorm_scorpio")
        end
    end
end``` in the `SMODS.current_mod.calculate`

[slim ferry]

why are you just making a random local variable

that does nothing

[robust marsh]

no i don't think so.. You know how when you advance the ante after beating the boss and all the blinds get reset? I'm looking for that specifically

[daring fern]

Yes, you're not setting card.c_cstorm_scorpio

[wispy falcon]

Where?

[wispy falcon]

How do I set it?

[slim ferry]

Is_from_scorpio = true

[daring fern]

reset_blinds?

[slim ferry]

literally the exact same as every other variable

<thing> = <value>

[robust marsh]

should be it, thank you

[wispy falcon]

card.c_cstorm_scorpio = true?

[slim ferry]

yes

[wispy falcon]

It works now, thank you

How would I add an info to the joker now?

Like info_queue

[daring fern]

Patch generate_card_ui

[rocky osprey]

ok well that's weird

can i force the color on it or

[wispy falcon]

To check if card.c_cstorm_scorpio == true and if so add the info_queue?

[daring fern]

No, you would just check if card.c_cstorm_scorpio

[wispy falcon]

So not the info_queue?

[daring fern]

No, you would add the info_queue

[wispy falcon]

Now I'm confused

[slim ferry]

whats so confusing he literally just what to change the check to

nothing was said about the info_queue

[wispy falcon]

I'm confused because this doesn't work

[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/common_events.lua'
pattern = "elseif _c.name == 'Palette' then loc_vars = {_c.unlock_condition.extra}"
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''
elseif card.c_cstorm_scorpio then loc_vars = info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { set = "Other", key = "scorpio_ability" }
'''```

Wait...

[slim ferry]

whats the area for boosters in the shop?

[wispy falcon]

Nope, still crashes

[daring fern]

G.shop_booster

[daring fern]

No,```toml
pattern = 'for _, v in ipairs(info_queue) do'
position = "before"

[wispy falcon]

[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/common_events.lua'
pattern = 'for _, v in ipairs(info_queue) do'
position = "before"
match_indent = true
payload = '''
if card.c_cstorm_scorpio then loc_vars = info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { set = "Other", key = "scorpio_ability" } end
'''``` still crashes

[daring fern]

if card and card.c_cstorm_scorpio then info_queue[#info_queue+1] = { set = "Other", key = "scorpio_ability" } end

[robust marsh]

Been trying to make blinds go in a reverse order for the past few days, pretty close to giving up atp

[still cedar]

Why this error appear?

[red flower]

i would give up :3

[robust marsh]

The more I dig the more I realize how scuffed this would be

[red flower]

but honestly i personally wouldn't touch blind stuff until smods adds the functionality

[robust marsh]

yeah I'm probably gonna hold off for now. I'm trying to add something reminiscent of Ascent from TBOI for my mod as an alt deck unlock condition but going in the small -> big -> boss order feels pretty weird since ur moving down the antes.

I was hoping i could hook into the function which boss blinds use to reset blinds

but alas

[charred widget]

Hello friends! I was wondering if you could help me with a few things

Wo-Chien here gets 0.1x mult for every spade card in the deck, but the variable isn't updating properly in the joker's description. how can i fix this?

[robust marsh]

[daring fern]

Firstly, you should be using card:is_suit(), Secondly, you need to put the same thing you put in calculate in loc_vars

[hollow mango]

i'm trying to add a sound but i keep crashing when it tries to play it. i register it like this

SMODS.Sound({
    key = 'collage_dollar_mult',
    path = 'collage_dollar_mult.wav'
})

then i place it in assets/sounds/
and then i call it like this play_sound('collage_dollar_mult', 0.95 + math.random()*0.1, 0.6)

and then it crashes like this:
Could not open file resources/sounds/collage_dollar_mult.ogg. Does not exist.

I don't understand. Isn't it supposed to look in assets? And why is it looking for an ogg when I specified a wav?

[daring fern]

It's play_sound 'modprefix_key'

[hollow mango]

oh mb 💀 i thought it was just a straight up key system and the prefixes were a convention, i guess i never realized

tyyyy

[slim ferry]

replace the current code in loc_vars with this:

local spades = 0
for _, _card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
  if _card:is_suit("Spades") then spades = spades + 1 end
end
return { vars = {xmultvar + (count*0.1)}

(also joker forge code moment)

wh

okay thanks discord formatting for breaking my shit

[robust marsh]

mmmm, is there a way to straight up just make it so the small and big blinds dont show up at all

[still cedar]

Why this error appear?

[charred widget]

i think i put it in the code wrong lol

[robust marsh]

missing end

[slim ferry]

no i just forgot a bracket lol

[charred widget]

ah

[slim ferry]

add another } to the end of the return

[charred widget]

ok thank you 🙂

[daring fern]

This but also Big Blinds: https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/main/lovely/stake.toml#L337-L364

[robust marsh]

dope

[still cedar]

Why doesn't it count end on 113?

[daring fern]

No, you have 2 extra ends.

[charred widget]

As soon as I hovered over Wo-Chien it crashed and gave me this

[slim ferry]

i may be stupid again

[robust marsh]

you didn't close the first if before starting the 2nd one

[charred widget]

you're not alone in that

[slim ferry]

replace count with spades

[daring fern]

Also, install the lua extension.

[charred widget]

happened again

[slim ferry]

when did this happen

[still cedar]

Then how do I merge the second if into the first? or is it not necessary

[charred widget]

same time, as soon as i hovered over Wo-Chien

[robust marsh]

^

[slim ferry]

oh i

replace xmultvar with card.ability.extra.xmultvar

[charred widget]

works now, but i have one more thing

how can i make it so it debuffs a suit?

[slim ferry]

add the following to calculate:

if context.debuff_card and context.debuff_card.area ~= G.jokers and context.debuff_card:is_suit("<suit>") then
  return {
    debuff = true
  }
end

[still cedar]

I did this but appears a new error

[robust marsh]

please install this extension

[daring fern]

No, now you have 3 extra ends.

[glossy sky]

Is there a context, or something akin to do that that checks if another joker becomes debuffed?

[wispy falcon]

Is there something that tells you if a lucky card, glass card or so is going to hit or not?

[red flower]

not afaik

[red flower]

why

[glossy sky]

ok thanks still

[charred widget]

ok i might have implemented it wrong because it's debuffing clubs AND spades

[slim ferry]

hm

what does the code look like

[wispy falcon]

I thought that I could use that as the ability of my consumable type

[red flower]

it tells you if it will hit?

[slim ferry]

i honestly got no clue, do you have smeared joker by any chance

[charred widget]

nope

[slim ferry]

uhhhh fuck

do you have anything that makes spades count as clubs

[charred widget]

no but im gonna try something that probably won't work

update: it didn't work

[wispy falcon]

The idea is that it tells you if the lucky card's 1 in 5 and 1 in 15 will hit the next time it is played. Same for the 1 in 4 of glass cards

[slim ferry]

what did you try to do

[red flower]

i dont think it's really possible to know given other probability effects

[charred widget]

the debuff code had "spades" instead of 'spades', it had double quotes instead of single quotes

but i dont think that changes anything

[slim ferry]

in lua quotes are interchangable yeah

[charred widget]

wait

it just fixed itself

[slim ferry]

wh

[charred widget]

i just started a new run and its only debuffing clubs now

[still cedar]

I still don't understand

[slim ferry]

were you in a particular spade-debuffing blind by any chance

[charred widget]

i believe i was in a small blind

[slim ferry]

thats

odd

might just be a product of not starting a new run after making changes though

[charred widget]

yeah that's true

[wispy falcon]

How do I make only 5% of the score balanced?

[grand iris]

hello,i need help! basically i use malverk,i am replacing joker sprites but the 1x sprites wont show,the 2x sprites works tho

[slim ferry]

you gotta implement that yourself

not a default smods feature

[grand iris]

should i send the lua?

maybe i messed up something on the code

game does not crash so i dont really think so

[slim ferry]

do you have the same image file in both assets/1x and assets/2x

[grand iris]

yes i do

1x folder

[slim ferry]

do they have the same name

[grand iris]

2x folder

soo yeah kinda weird,they have the same name

[real crown]

Is there a context for when a Joker is specifically destroyed? Not sold, destroyed by like Sac Knife or Madness
And also have the event trigger inside, as I'm afraid it would no longer trigger if a Joker is destroyed

[slim ferry]

context.joker_type_destroyed i think

[grand iris]

should i send the lua ?

[slim ferry]

sure

[real crown]

Thank you!

[charred widget]

ok the ruin pokemon are mostly working but they're interacting really weirdly when they're spawned and sold

[slim ferry]

this looks fine

its probably some wierd thing i dont know about

[grand iris]

yikes

[slim ferry]

what part of them is acting wierdly

[charred widget]

when i sell one of them, they stop debuffing, but when i sell another, the remaining ones start debuffing again

i would have to show you directly to actually get across what i'm seeing rn

[slim ferry]

alr

[grand iris]

I think i know what i messed up!

let me see,and i'll tell you if it works

[charred widget]

what is happening right now

[slim ferry]

i dont even know

😭

wtf is this

[charred widget]

fuck it we ball ig

[grand iris]

ok still not working

[slim ferry]

like i get it recalculating debuffs when selling

[grand iris]

damn it

[slim ferry]

but why is it doing

that

[slim ferry]

can i see the code for each of them

[charred widget]

it'd take up a lot of space in chat rn so i'll DM you

[slim ferry]

alr sure

[floral marsh]

hum heya, I am new to balatro modding and I was wondering if there was a way to make the flip effect permanent, after the use of a spectral card

[real crown]

I tried it, this triggers when other Jokers are destroyed, but it doesn't work when the Joker the script is on gets destroyed, which would be my goal

[daring fern]

You would have to hook Card:flip()

[floral marsh]

-# ah Ive never heard of hooking something else than a fish
how would you do that exactly?

[wispy falcon]

Is the joker area G.jokers?

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook have a look at this

[daring fern]

Yes.

[torn vapor]

Should I make my mod balanced?

Wrong channel, my bad.

[grand iris]

tried to change my smod version since i didnt update it,still wont work

this is really weird

my game wont crash,so the code is good right??? i dont know what i messed up

i checked the pngs and they are the edited ones

this is rlly weird

ignore the lag on the video,steam recording

[timid night]

how can I use JSON in Balatro?
Im making a meme joker that gives XMult for each user in a voice channel - it all completely works including the requests. But I cant decode the response

this is the 1x spritesheet

2x spritesheet

so i dont know why its not working

Why this error appear?

[floral marsh]

so is that how my hook should look like?
it looks weird and theres a lua duplicate error so idk

[floral marsh]

full image*

[slim ferry]

yeah

thats supposed to happen

[candid prism]

oh uhh for some ungodly reason you have to nest malverk content

[grand iris]

what does that mean

[candid prism]

this

lua.lua is empty simply bc the .json needs a main file

[grand iris]

so i have to make a json?

[candid prism]

i dont think you need one honestly

[grand iris]

what should i do then

[candid prism]

i just used one bc its my normal modding process

[candid prism]

nest the folders as ive shown maybe?

[grand iris]

could you please explain what nest means i really suck at this

[candid prism]

basically in the texture pack folder, add another folder and put your stuff in there

[prisma loom]

Hi, folks. My teammate is currently on hiatus in terms of Balala coding, so I'm looking for some help

If anyone is interested dm me

[grand iris]

so i create another folder and put the same stuff in there

is that right

[candid prism]

yeah

[grand iris]

alright,i'll try

can i name the folder anything i want

[prisma loom]

Oh and here's the thread of the Mod: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1335221042204901396

[slim ferry]

use play_sound(<sound key>) in add_to_deck

and check for not from_debuff so it doesnt play when undebuffed

[charred widget]

wait is the thing that goes (self, card, context) the check?

[slim ferry]

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)

[charred widget]

so would it be
add_to_deck = function(self, card, not from_debuff)

play_sound(<sound key>)

[slim ferry]

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
if not from_debuff then play_sound(<sound key> end
end

[charred widget]

and i would add this after calculate?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[charred widget]

ok so there's something specific i wanted to do

i wanted it to pause for just a second, then play the sound effect and juice up at the same time

would i have to create an event for that?

[slim ferry]

yeah an event would be the way to do that i think

since thatll wait for the animation of it moving to the slots

[charred widget]

so if i'm trying to make it a function, would i put SMODS. before play_sound?

[slim ferry]

wdym

play_sound is already a base balatro function

[charred widget]

ok

[grand iris]

got this crash since i tried to re edit the lua

this is the lua

[slim ferry]

yes its an unfinished string at line 15 like it says

[charred widget]

ok eris i think i've been hiding something from you

i'm trying to use a custom sound

[slim ferry]

if youre using a custom sound then

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sound have a look at this first

[grand iris]

fixed the error

but now i get this

[slim ferry]

you should probably ask the malverk thread for that

since this seems like a malverk specific issue

[grand iris]

the malverk thread is dead

[red flower]

the dev is still active

[grand iris]

HOLY SHIT I FINALLY DID IT

AFTER TWO HOURS

MY GOD

ok basically the x1 sprites shows and i have no crash

that's what i was trying to fix

[fathom star]

Hi so im using jokerforge to make sum jokers, and im trying to make a sound play when mult is applied, but it plays when the hand is played instead, what should i do?

[red flower]

https://discord.gg/eRBByq9AZX

[wispy falcon]

Anyone know how to disable this warning? It's starting to get on my nerves

[red flower]

click on quick fix and thenm disable globally

[wispy falcon]

Thank you

[broken rivet]

@shell timber just out of curiosity have you also experienced this

with hypercam or hyperjimbo

[fathom star]

oh mb bluddy

[shell timber]

you need to add your own scoring step iirc

[broken rivet]

oh
guess i'll just go and see what morefluff does then

[strong terrace]

tried to this custom joker but doesn't work in game. it should give +100 chips if the played hand has only 1 card.

[frosty rampart]

needs to be card.ability.extra.chip_bonus i think

[broken rivet]

is it fine if i steal the code morefluff uses for its context
i intended them to be the same already and i plan on adding a patch that makes them evaluate simultaneously

[shell timber]

sure go ahead

make the mf_ different probably to avoid double triggering

[broken rivet]

ofc

[frosty rampart]

use context.initial_scoring_step, unless you want it to trigger even before that
the game resets to the base hand score after context.before because e.g. space joker might level up the hand

[wispy falcon]

How would I make a consumable not highlightable?

[broken rivet]

i do want it to trigger before context.initial_scoring_step

[real crown]

Would it be possible to have a Joker that "saves the gamestate" when you buy it, and as long as you don't sell it, you will keep repeating the same ante over and over again, you'll get the same items in the shops, your money will keep resetting to what it was, jokers, joker/planet scaling and the deck itself keeps reverting until you sell that Joker?
I asked something similar in the morning, but that wasn't this deep

[frosty rampart]

ok, fair enough. keep going with the custom context then

[frosty rampart]

cryptid's revert code card is probably a good reference

[real crown]

Thank you for pointing me in a direction!

[frosty rampart]

i'm not sure where it saves the state, but using revert immediately resets the game state to the beginning of the current ante

[ocean sinew]

local code,body,headers = https.request(args)
local response = json.decode(body)
response.memberCount

[wispy falcon]

bump

[frosty rampart]

you mean like you can't click on it to get the Use and Sell buttons?

[slim ferry]

i imagine you would hook/patch card:click to stop it from being highlighted

[broken rivet]

actually, what jokers use intial_scoring_step
pretty sure it's added by smods

[wispy falcon]

Yes

[frosty rampart]

yea I don't think anything vanilla uses it
my Dice use it for sure

[frosty rampart]

you should just set [card].states.click.can to false once it's acquired
if it can appear in the shop, that might be a bit tricky, because you want to be able to buy it. but if not, then just do it in the card's set_ability or something

[broken rivet]

what do they do then

[frosty rampart]

d20 gives +(random number from 1 to 20) Mult before other scoring effects, d100 gives +(random number from 1 to 100) Chips before other scoring effects. they work properly on their own but i'm not sure how they interact with other cards that have initial_scoring_step effects yet

[broken rivet]

ah

i'll probably just use initial_scoring_step then

morefluff was the inspiration for that joker effect but don't think it needs to be one to one with morefluff lol

[wispy falcon]

It spawns only under certain conditions, not in the shop, booster pack or something

[frosty rampart]

ok yea if it only ever spawns into your consumables slots, do it in the set_ability function

[shell timber]

okay i must admit i didnt know that was a thing

[frosty rampart]

yea it's not documented on the calculate functions wiki page yet :3

but it was added in 0711

[broken rivet]

oh lol

[slim ferry]

initial scoring step is peak

[broken rivet]

i mean granted
i didn't know about context.money_altered and also patched in a custom context for that

[slim ferry]

thats still pretty new tho

[frosty rampart]

i should put together a list of all the contexts for people to be able to reference while eremel is still rewriting the calculate wiki page

i will do that after i eat lunch i think

[broken rivet]

would be nice

[wintry solar]

I was doing some earlier actually!

[red flower]

heres one i did a bit ago #💻・modding-dev message

[wispy falcon]

How would I make a card similar to blueprint but it picks a random joker and does double their amounts? Let's say it picks Even Steven. Instead of giving +4 Mult for even numbers, it would give +8 Mult for even numbers

[frosty rampart]

cool, thanks

[slim ferry]

this crash happens when hovering one of my consumables, any idea why?

guyse

[wispy falcon]

Only need to know how to double the values

[robust marsh]

local old_get_new_boss = get_new_boss

                    return "bl_beast"
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

I'm trying to force a specific blind on ante 0 while a specific joker is held, although the game keeps crashing..

[frosty rampart]

you aren't actually returning anything unless it's ante 0 and you have the joker
do this I think

local old_get_new_boss = get_new_boss
function get_new_boss(self)
    if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
        for _, j in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if j.config and j.config.center and j.config.center.key == "j_tdec_photoquestion" then
                if G.GAME.round_resets.ante == 0 then
                    return "bl_beast"
                end
            end
        end
    end

    return old_get_new_boss(self)
end

[wispy falcon]

bump

[robust marsh]

Still crashes, but I did get it as a blind randomly so I know that the blind isn't faulty at least

[frosty rampart]

lemme eat lunch and then I can look at the crash

[robust marsh]

Oki, thank you

enjoy your meal

[slim ferry]

is there a way to disable the animation of cards getting added to the deck? currently with one of my decks you can see an animation of cards being added at the start of the run

[frosty rampart]

oh
you're missing the mod prefix when you return the blind name :P

[robust marsh]

gg

[hearty mesa]

what's the difference between card.config.h_popup and card.config.h_popup_config?

[robust marsh]

well, i tried that but uh

[frosty rampart]

bru
you specifically did "bl_[modprefix]_beast"?

[robust marsh]

OH

holy fuck i forgot that the prefix is supposed to be in between

i'm so sorry

[wispy falcon]

bump2

[real crown]

What's the context for all the time? Like one that runs every tick

[slim ferry]

use the update function for stuff that has to happen every frame

[real crown]

Thank you!

[keen atlas]

what thunderstore api should i use to get list of packages from a community

found it

[robust marsh]

how would I make a boss blind immune to Luchador or Chicot

[slim ferry]

hook blind:disable()

[robust marsh]

ty

[wispy falcon]

bump3

[rotund sable]

Would this just be like

Check if the ability.extra is a number if so double it, if not iterate over it's element's and double the values

Optionally you could add a check of sorts

For something similar to blueprint_conpat

[timid narwhal]

I’ve got an idea for a Balatro mod and am really hyped to make it, but I’m kinda new to modding. so anyone here interested in like collabing on it maybe?

[wispy falcon]

Elaborate?

[slim ferry]

i dont think thatll work for this situation

because thats more of a Cryptid.manipulate type deal

[rotund sable]

Oh wait

[slim ferry]

i'd look at how forgery from paperback does it

[rotund sable]

I kinda misread

Yeah I basically explained Cryptid.manipulate

Maybe oversimplified

[hearty mesa]

hey uh anyone know anything about this

[crystal perch]

how would i get the number of destroyed Jokers this run, or make a function to track that, in order to make an effect like this possible

[rotund sable]

-# https://github.com/Balatro-Paperback/paperback/blob/main/content%2Fjoker%2Fforgery.lua

[crystal perch]

i remember asking this prior and being told to wait for an smods update so i'm asking again

[red flower]

one is the uibox and the other one is the config for the uibox

[hearty mesa]

if i perchance wanted to move the h_popup itself where would i do that

[red flower]

move it after it is created or before

[hearty mesa]

preferably after but that might be really difficult

[wispy falcon]

Does someone have the mentioned list? I can't find it there

  -- The list of all effects can be found in smods/src/utils.lua:1121
  'chips', 'h_chips', 'chip_mod',
  'x_chips', 'xchips', 'Xchip_mod',
  'mult', 'h_mult', 'mult_mod',
  'x_mult', 'Xmult', 'xmult', 'x_mult_mod', 'Xmult_mod'
}```

[red flower]

hmmm no idea

[red flower]

this? https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/d89903a71d6ef5a13c0f624f87dc50c8f68129a6/src/utils.lua#L1432

[wispy falcon]

I would think so but I don't know

[real night]

i frogotr

[wispy falcon]

G.GAME.current_round.hands_left and G.GAME.current_round.discards_left

[hearty mesa]

welp how would you do it before it is created?

[red flower]

i think you would need to hook/patch align_h_popup

[hard flume]

Is it possible to give Jokers backs? Do they already have them? Because if the answer to both of those is no, then im gonna have a hard time implementing coin flipping

[tawdry kettle]

Someone can explain me how to download mods in balatro mobile

[robust marsh]

modding mobile isn't allowed

[tawdry kettle]

In the game

?

[robust marsh]

yeah

rule 4: "Only PC Modding discussion is permitted - discussion of modding Balatro on other platforms will not be tolerated."

this is how i change the back of my jokers https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/5f10b2eaecbe7219905fe44ec7f3ce33a29f0f89/src/card_ui.lua#L464

[robust marsh]

anyway uhh does anyone know how I could do win_game() when a specific boss blind has been beaten

[tawdry kettle]

Sorry don't know the rule I m so Sorry

[robust marsh]

you're fine

[tawdry kettle]

My laptop is not working properly I buy the game in for 600 Indian rupees in Play Store

[wind steppe]

how do i patch smods?

[robust marsh]

=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]

for example

[wind steppe]

ty

talisman needs to do a better job at patching

[robust marsh]

[wheat jewel]

I'm trying to make a joker give money if you set your music volume ingame to a randomly generated value, but it never gives it at all, is there a way to fix it?

[wind steppe]

what is it printing when you select the blind

[wheat jewel]

the volume level

was doing that to test stuff

[wind steppe]

also you can remove the in_pool

[wheat jewel]

for the music

[wind steppe]

appearing if you dont have a duplicate is the default behavior

[wheat jewel]

i assume removing it affects nothing about whether it appears in the shop

[wind steppe]

correct

rn actually your joker appears even if you have another

because of the way in_pool works

after the print add print(type(to_number(G.SETTINGS.SOUNDS.music_volume)))

let me know what that prints

[wheat jewel]

alright!

like this?

[wind steppe]

yup

[wind steppe]

doesnt work

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target =[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]
pattern = "if args.operation == '-' and scalar_value < 0 then scalar_value = scalar_value * -1 end"
position = 'at'
payload = "if args.operation == '-' and to_big(scalar_value) < to_big(0) then scalar_value = scalar_value * -1 end"
match_indent = true

gives me

[robust marsh]

target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'

[wheat jewel]

error occured

[wind steppe]

oh yeah typo

[robust marsh]

mb for not pointing that one out

[wind steppe]

replace SOUNDS with SOUND

[wheat jewel]

nothing prints unfortunately

not from the command menu by pressing /

[wind steppe]

did you save your lua file

try running the print in debugplus as well

[wheat jewel]

I did yes

[wheat jewel]

that's on

[wind steppe]

what if you just print G.SETTINGS.SOUND.music_volume

[wind steppe]

no like through the console

the debugplus console

[wheat jewel]

ohhh

lemme try that

wait a minute i gotta figure out the print command first

[wind steppe]

just eval and then put the code after it

like eval print(G.SETTINGS.SOUND.music_volume)

[wheat jewel]

it's a nil value

maybe imma try eval print(to_number(G.SETTINGS.SOUND.music_volume))

[wind steppe]

yeah do that

[wheat jewel]

still nil

that's the issue then

[wind steppe]

so thats probably not how you get the volume then

[robust marsh]

How would I remove the endless button under a specific condition?

[wheat jewel]

that seems the case yeah

there might be something about it in the SMODS documentation

if i'm not mistaken

[wind steppe]

i think https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/Go-To-Bed--Minty does that so you could maybe look through this?

[wheat jewel]

will do!

[robust marsh]

gotcha

thank you

[wind steppe]

not you

thats why i was replying to someone else

[wheat jewel]

OH wait

my baddd

i thought you replied to me for sec

got distracted with somethin

[wind steppe]

how would i get a joker to show a message without returning?

[robust marsh]

i believe something along the lines of

SMODS.calculate_effect({message = " "}, card)

[real crown]

Is it possible to replace the default Jimbo with something else for a custom rarity?
So if the pool runs out of cards, it will keep giving that one Joker

[wind steppe]

what sound is typically played on retrigger?

[sturdy finch]

odd todd meta

i don't think this is right 😭

how do i add a 3rd node thingy

okay i figured it out

this looks so scuffed i love it

[round lion]

how do i make something only appear if theres a specific mod installed

[slim ferry]

use the dependencies field for that

[obtuse silo]

how would i make text update on a card?

[round lion]

where do i leave it? in the .json?

[slim ferry]

In the object defintion if youre doing it for individual objects

[obtuse silo]

actually
more pressing matter
Am I able to store arrays in a card's config?

[slim ferry]

Yeah

extra is already a table itself

Tables can be stored anywhere just fine

[wanton valley]

Hi, how do you have like a 1 in 2 chance for a card to activate (give a multiplayer etc.)

[umbral zodiac]

do not store a table in a joker's config

more importantly, extra extra do not store a card in a joker's config

[spring gyro]

who can help?

[umbral zodiac]

it wont instantly cause issues but its unstable and generally very unrecommended

[winter flower]

SMODS.pseudorandom_probability

[wanton valley]

thanks!

[obtuse silo]

well
this worked just fine for the effect i'm trying to get
only problem is that the countdown number doesn't update

simply put
without putting a table in config
there's simply just no way of getting the effect i want (a buff when ten unique ranks are played in straights)

since having the declaration in the calculate function just resets it

[hard flume]

What size are individual blind sprites again?

[umbral zodiac]

34x34 i believe

yea, 34x34 (at 1x scale obv)

[wanton valley]

is there a way to look at vanilla jokers' code but in the SMODS format?

[umbral zodiac]

have a blast

[wanton valley]

tysm! i couldnt find this anywhere for some reason

[umbral zodiac]

😭

[umbral zodiac]

i mean if it works you can keep it but, make sure it works with the game saving

[obtuse silo]

oh

[slim ferry]

Why do tables store just fine in G.GAME but not in cards

That seems wierd

[umbral zodiac]

shrug

they could work fine in cards and its just a bit of a bad practice to do so unless you need to

i won't be the first to admit i know nothing about if it actually causes issues but
knowing the game's saving i wouldnt be surprised if it didn't like storing a table

ive just heard to not do it so i dont personally

[obtuse silo]

works just fine

i exited and re-entered the run and the list saved

[slim ferry]

I mean i know functions cant be saved

Same with objects

[umbral zodiac]

yeah

[slim ferry]

Because of data storage shit

[umbral zodiac]

i guess someone confused an object for a table when they were claiming that putting a movable or its descendants into a card was evil

[slim ferry]

I remember being told that saving tables at all was like evil n shit

[umbral zodiac]

and then i just never bothered to learn more because i never needed a table for storing something for a joker

i still think its bad practice but if you have to its probably fine

[obtuse silo]

anyways, back to this
the countdown (card.ability.extra.countcards) doesn't update when i play cards

[slim ferry]

Actually if you cant store tables in cards then Cryptid.manipulate wouldnt need to be recursive

So its probably fine

[stuck yew]

you forgor the .extra. it's just card.ability.countcards = ... there

[obtuse silo]

ah thanks-

[stuck yew]

also, technically speaking, you don't need countcards. you can just do 10 - #card.ability.extra.numberarray as the 2nd locvar. unless you're using countcards for more than just that

[obtuse silo]

very helpful

[loud citrus]

I want to update my mod, but github is making me add 2FA. Any suggestions on what to use?

[red flower]

they do?

card.ability.extra is a table

[red flower]

why would it be bad practice

[umbral zodiac]

idk it feels bad to put a table there since 99% of the time you dont need them anyway

[red flower]

imo it's better practice to have poker_hands = { "High Card", "Pair" } than poker_hands_1 = "High Card", poker_hands_2 = "Pair"

[hard flume]

How would I go about doing a 50/50 chance again? I forgot since last time I tried modding full time

[umbral zodiac]

i mean im not saying to expand out a table into individual elements thats obviously stupid im just saying if you can i think its better to avoid a table in the first place

[red flower]

why

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a check the Probability Changes part

[umbral zodiac]

i do not have an answer for you that isnt just already what i said above
and i also have to go so iwill probablky not be able to reply again for a while

https://github.com/kustik9262/SixSuits
I forked six suits mod, and now, I planned work on this mod
Because I like this mod

Can you point out any errors if there are any?

[obtuse silo]

would I specify K for King or 13 for King?

[wind steppe]

K probably

[obtuse silo]

Seems to be the case
I was just formatting it wrong

Needed to format like {id = 'K'}, instead of 'K', 'Q', 'J'

doesn't seem to have worked

i swear i'm doing this right

[real night]

do challenges have calculate functions

[red flower]

yes! since recently

[real night]

im assuming its not this calculate = function(self, back, context)

[frosty rampart]

as per the 0827 release notes, it's just calculate = function(self, context)

Hiii, im new here in the modding side of balatro, and overall modding and i wanted to know what should i learn, or do, or anything

i'm not even sure if this is where i should be asking this

[frosty rampart]

check pins in #⚙・modding-general for a link to the "Balatro Modding Starter Pack"

why do the messages occur before the playing card itself scores?

Hello! I am working on a mod (it is currently in fairly early progress but already in a state where it adds enough content to be unique) and was just curious on best ways to publish it

[wet crag]

There's GitHub and Balatro Mod Manager, and you could probably promote your mod by posting about it here, on Reddit, contacting YouTubers / Twitch streamers, etc.

Oh, and the Balatro Modding Wiki. You can post a link to your GitHub there along with info about your mod.

[unreal wedge]

Thanks!

Btw one more thing does uploading it to Nexus work too? Cause I've never used GitHub before so Nexus would probably be a bit easier to me

[wet crag]

Most likely, it's just less commonly used than GitHub so I forgot to mention it.

[unreal wedge]

Ah gair

Fair*

[unreal wedge]

How exactly would I go about posting it here? I'm to stupid to figure out the wiki formatting so rn that is probably the best option

Question: Does anyone know where the code for the pre-existing stakes are?
