[rotund sable]

I literally bolded hook but ok

[wispy falcon]

I see that

[rotund sable]

I'm not sure if that'll work btw

Just a guess

[wispy falcon]

Better than nothing :3

By the way, is it a trend that so many people only have a letter as a name? I swear it's getting more and more

[rotund sable]

:clueless:

[fair osprey]

Hey, trying to make a patch - I feel like the logic for this is pretty simple, so Idk why it's not doing anything.

The injected function is "Card:get_end_of_round_effect" at line 1040 in "card.lua". It's supposed to create a tag when a blue seal is triggered.

[wispy falcon]

Wait, isn't SMODS.calculate_effect only for scored cards and not jokers?

[rotund sable]

No idea but I see no reason why that would be the case

[slim ferry]

its for literally everything

[wispy falcon]

Where are lovely logs again?

[violet void]

Does anybody know why the other DebugPlus files don't appear for patching with Lovely when launching Balatro with --dump-all? It doesn't let me patch core.lua from DebugPlus specifically (I need to change the behaviour for using ctr + c on a unhandled type of card)

[frosty dock]

because they're not loaded via smods

[violet void]

its not anywhere in the lovely dumps

[frosty dock]

it's loaded as a lovely module called debugplus.core

you should be able to target that buffer name

[red flower]

they're my admirers

[wispy falcon]

How do I get this value that's in scored_card in SMODS.calculate_effect?

[violet void]

Did not work sadly

[frosty dock]

so... lovely modules just straight up can't be patched? I'd say they must have some other buffer name, but if they don't get dumped, they clearly don't

@gaunt thistle care to explain?

[pseudo furnace]

The error message said '823: bad argument #1 to next', what is it that I am fixing?

[slim ferry]

next takes a table

not a string

what you currently put in is a string

[pseudo furnace]

The next(...) part of the condition is used by Seance though, why does it work there?

[slim ferry]

what is card.ability.extra.poker_hand here?

[pseudo furnace]

I put in 'Royal Flush'

[slim ferry]

okay then that would be because royal flush isnt actually its own hand

its just straight flush but it displays a different name

[pseudo furnace]

So I have to do an extra check for it?

[slim ferry]

yea, just check straight flush and then if all the cards are rank 10 or higher

[pseudo furnace]

Alright, thanks!

[gaunt thistle]

it's because lovely directly calls the original Lua loadbufferx fn, bypassing its hook. https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/blob/master/crates%2Flovely-core%2Fsrc%2Fsys.rs#L93

I'll need to look into it tomorrow to determine how hard a fix will be

@rough furnace

[pseudo furnace]

Hmm I don't think its working even then

For reference, the code is still broken at the same part

[red flower]

did you restart the run before testing?

[pseudo furnace]

Double checking atm

Yep, still a " bad argument #1 to 'next' "

[wispy falcon]

How do I use SMODS.calculate_effect()?

[red flower]

for what

[wispy falcon]

I'm trying to hook it to see if I can get the chips a joker gives and then double that using a consumable

[red flower]

SMODS.calculate_effect({ chips = 10 }, card) is how you usually call it but I couldn't tell you how to hook it to do what you want

[wispy falcon]

Yeah, right now I have this but it doesn't feel like it's getting me somewhere

function SMODS.calculate_effect(effect, scored_card, from_edition, pre_jokers)
    -- Code before

    local ret = calculate_effect_ref(effect, scored_card, from_edition, pre_jokers)

    -- Code after

    local chips_value
    local best_match = nil

    if scored_card and scored_card.ability and scored_card.ability.extra then
        for k, v in pairs(scored_card.ability.extra) do
            print(k)
            if string.find(k:lower(), "chips") then
                -- Priority: exact match
                if k == "chips" then
                    best_match = v
                    break
                end
                -- else the closest
                best_match = best_match or v
            end
        end

        scored_card.ability.extra.best_match = best_match
        print(scored_card.ability.extra.best_match)
    end

    return ret
end```

[red flower]

i believe modifying joker values is an affront to God so i can't really help with this kinda stuff sorry

i would use a library like cryptlib maybe, no need to reinvent the wheel

[wispy falcon]

How would cryprlib help?

[slim ferry]

What are you even trying to do actually

[slim ferry]

Increasing joker chips via a consumable can mean a lot of things

[red flower]

giving it foil would be the funniest answer

[slim ferry]

Peak

[wispy falcon]

I'm trying to make a consumable that can be used on Jokers and doubles their chips values. So the Joker would usually give +20 and after the consumable it would give +40. After another consumable it would give +80 and so on, permanently

[slim ferry]

Probably possible but not while actually keeping the description accurate for the joker

[wispy falcon]

You got a link for me?

[slim ferry]

You'd have to do some post_trigger shenanigans to change the chips amounts based on some hidden counter in the joker that increments when the consumable is used i imagine

[wispy falcon]

Sounds kinda complex

[red flower]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptlib

idk if it allows filtering by value types, probably not

[wispy falcon]

Okay, how would I use that in my mod and code? I never used a library mod before

[frosty rampart]

yea like i mentioned earlier, value manipulation is particularly tricky if you're trying to edit a specific value, because there's no way to control what the variable name is

[frosty rampart]

make your mod have Cryptlib as a dependency and then just use the functions that cryptlib adds (e.g. Cryptid.manipulate(card, args))

[wispy falcon]

"dependencies": [ "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~BETA-0827c), Cryptlib (>=1.0.0)" ] in the json file, right?

[frosty rampart]

close. each mod has to be in its own set of quotes, not all in one

[wispy falcon]

I keep getting this crash on start-up, even though I changed it

[frosty rampart]

...you also need to install the mod

[wispy falcon]

I did

[frosty rampart]

then you didn't do it right, because it's not in the mods list in the crash log

[wispy falcon]

As you can see, I put it into the mods folder though

[frosty rampart]

🤷‍♀️ maybe you need to set your mod's priority to be after cryptlib's? (higher number loads later)

[wispy falcon]

Found the problem

[wispy falcon]

For WHATEVER reason there was a .lovelyignore in the folder. It's even in the screenshot

Anyways, where do I find all the functions that cryptlib has?

[frosty rampart]

in the cryptlib files
you just have to read the code

but the stuff in manipulate.lua is probably what you're looking for, since that's all the value manipulation stuff

[wispy falcon]

I'm currently readin through that and I don't really understand what I put for args

[frosty rampart]

yea the documentation isn't the greatest. args should be a table, see what the function grabs out of it
asking in the cryptid server seems like a good idea too

[rough furnace]

I tried fixing it and couldn't figure it out. There's a weird chain of dependencies that you need to call the original. You can probably solve it pretty easy because you know how to modify the architecture much easier than I can and idk how rust works

[wooden nexus]

idk what's going on

It crashes when i hover over diet cola

[faint yacht]

...sounds familiar...

[wooden nexus]

Okay I'm getting closer to solving the issue

[wispy falcon]

I NEED TO SEE THAT CODE

Can you send me the link to the mod, please?

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/51ce680fe6d904688f57505cc48ff4c361c3dff5/togastuff.lua#L863-L879

[wispy falcon]

Thank you

[vapid flume]

probably a silly question someones asked before, but is it possible/how do i replace a vanilla joker/edit it? can that be done?

[vernal path]

research taking ownership

[faint yacht]

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

[vapid flume]

oh thank you lmao

[wispy falcon]

Would that work as a consumable too?

[vernal path]

i mean its just part of a hook

and you can find any card you like

[faint yacht]

SMODS.find_card looks for Jokers, really.

[vernal path]

SMODS.find_card can look for anything

its the old find_joker that doesnt

[faint yacht]

if _type == 'jokers' then
    local t = {G.jokers, G.consumeables, G.vouchers}
    -- TARGET: add your own CardAreas for joker evaluation
    return t
end

Oops, yeah.

[wispy falcon]

Okay, I have this now. How do I make it work?

SMODS.calculate_individual_effect = function(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)

    local pulsar = SMODS.find_card('c_cstorm_pulsar')
    if next(pulsar) and amount then
        for i = 1, #pulsar do
            amount = amount * pulsar[i].config.halfDouble
        end
    end
    local ret = calcindiveffectref(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
    if ret then return ret end
end


SMODS.Consumable {
    key = "pulsar",
    set = "Spectral",
    config = { max_highlighted = 1, halfDouble = 1.5 },
    atlas = "jokers_SPACEHOLDER",
    discovered = false,
    unlocked = true,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

    end,

    can_use = function(self, card)
        if G.jokers.highlighted and (#G.jokers.highlighted == 1) and G.jokers.highlighted[1] then
            return true
        end
    end,

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        
    end

}```

[faint yacht]

Though, for actually applying the value modifier to a specific Joker by a consumable, you'd probably want to set a special variable on said Joker and then check for it in the SMODS.calculate_effect hook itself, then check for the chips or chip_mod in the effect table that's passed to it, then alter the amount and remove the special variable set by the consumable.

-# Just my tired thoughts.

[wooden nexus]

create_card('Joker', G.jokers, nil, 1, nil, nil, nil, 'uncommon')

is the 1 supposed to be the rarity?

[wispy falcon]

Okay, which one do I hook now? SMODS.calculate_individual_effect or SMODS.calculate_effect?

[faint yacht]

...actually, as scored_card is usually the actual "source", I guess only the SMODS.calculate_individual_effect could work? You'd just need to check the key for the chips or chip_mod.

[faint yacht]

Under vanilla conditions, values up to 0.7 indicate Common rarity, values above 0.7 and up to 0.95 indicate Uncommon rarity, and values above 0.95 indicate Rare rarity.

[wispy falcon]

How would I do that?

[faint yacht]

if key == 'chips' and scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive then
  amount = amount * scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive
end

[gusty iron]

how would i check how many cards in the deck have a certain enhancement

[frosty rampart]

check vanillaremade code for one of the vanilla jokers that do exactly that

[gusty iron]

...forgot which one that was.

[wispy falcon]

So like this?

SMODS.calculate_individual_effect = function(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
    local pulsar = SMODS.find_card('c_cstorm_pulsar')
    if next(pulsar) and amount then
        for i = 1, #pulsar do
            amount = amount * pulsar[i].config.halfDouble
        end
    end

    if key == 'chips' and scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive then
        amount = amount * scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive
    end

    local ret = calcindiveffectref(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)
    
    if ret then return ret end
end```

[gusty iron]

i havent played vanilla in a WHILE

[frosty rampart]

i did too lol. might be stone joker?
i know it's not lucky cat, glass joker, or golden ticket
cloud 9 is also helpful, although it doesn't demonstrate checking the enhancement, only the looping through the deck part

[faint yacht]

Remove the SMODS.find_card portion entirely and, instead, in the use function of consumable, make it set the .ability.extra.pulsaractive on it.
-# Not sure how to remove it though, oop.

[faint yacht]

Steel Joker.

[frosty rampart]

right, steel

[gusty iron]

and how would a clone a card?

WAIT I CAN CHECK

CRYPTID!!

[wispy falcon]

Okay, so overall like this?

SMODS.calculate_individual_effect = function(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)

    if key == 'chips' and scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive then
        amount = amount * scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive
    end

    local ret = calcindiveffectref(effect, scored_card, key, amount, from_edition)

    if ret then return ret end
end


SMODS.Consumable {
    key = "pulsar",
    set = "Spectral",
    config = { max_highlighted = 1, halfDouble = 1.5 },
    atlas = "jokers_SPACEHOLDER",
    discovered = false,
    unlocked = true,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    calculate = function(self, card, context)

    end,

    can_use = function(self, card)
        if G.jokers.highlighted and (#G.jokers.highlighted == 1) and G.jokers.highlighted[1] then
            return true
        end
    end,

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        card.ability.extra.pulsaractive = true
    end

}```

And then card.ability.extra.pulsaractive = false somewhere

[faint yacht]

if G.jokers.highlighted and (#G.jokers.highlighted == 1) and G.jokers.highlighted[1] then
  G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.pulsaractive = true
end

You could do the removal of that special variable right after the amount is changed...

if key == 'chips' and scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive then
  amount = amount * scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive
  scored_card.ability.extra.pulsaractive = nil
end

[wispy falcon]

Okay, I'm gonna try that out now

[faint yacht]

Or move it outside of that if block... mess around.

[wispy falcon]

I got this error

[faint yacht]

Then just .ability.pulsaractive instead.

[wispy falcon]

Wait, why amount = amount * scored_card.ability.pulsaractive? Doesn't this just crash because scored_card.ability.pulsaractive is a bool?

[faint yacht]

You can set scored_card.ability.pulsaractive to be the desired multiplier instead.

[wispy falcon]

Okay, for some jokers it does change the value but it doesn't stay. Like after it gave that bigger amount of chips it goes back to the earlier amount

[wispy falcon]

Thank you so much, I really thought I wasn't going to do that

[faint yacht]

If you want the value change to persist, depending on for how long, you may need extra work much like Cryptid's own value influencing.

[wispy falcon]

I just put scored_card.ability.extra.chips = amount in there and it works

[faint yacht]

If the change is permanent, you can directly just set the .chips variable on the Joker itself... although, keep in mind that some may not store their chips result like that.

[wispy falcon]

I know but at this point I don't care anymore, too tired of this stuff

[faint yacht]

-# Mood.

[wispy falcon]

By the way, why does that not work on vanilly jokers? They use chips, don't they?

[faint yacht]

Some store it differently, be it .extra.t_chips or directly as .extra.

[wispy falcon]

But still in key.ability?

[faint yacht]

Yeah.

[wispy falcon]

Adding them did not make a difference...

        amount = amount * 1.5
        scored_card.ability.pulsaractive = nil
        scored_card.ability.extra.chips = amount
        scored_card.ability.extra.t_chips = amount
        scored_card.ability.extra = amount
    end```

[faint yacht]

If you want the change to persist, modify the values in the use of consumable... then there'd be no need for the hook.

[sly snow]

attempting to make a joker that posseses an ability to do something along these lines
anyone got any clue on how i could progress with this idea ?

[vernal path]

it would be a good idea to actually write it down, rather than using pictochat to send it here

[winter flower]

is it too complex to make it so that this blind will only give 1 dollar,
no matter what joker you have or what deck you're on?

[sly snow]

only allows every other card in played hand to score, retriggers all previous scoring cards in said hand upon advancing to next scoring card

if im making myself clear enough here

[vernal path]

Uuuuhhhhh i think so? The order in which you are doing it is quite strange and would require some extra work if its possible, compared to doing regular retriggers.

[daring fern]

if context.modify_scoring_hand then
    local my_pos
    for i, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do
        if context.other_card == v then
            my_pos = i
        end
    end
    if my_pos % 2 == 0 then
        return {remove_from_hand = true}
    end
end

[sly snow]

well then

[clear ocean]

woops shouldve posted it here

[sly snow]

got the card skipping to work ! thank you !!

gonna have to figure out the retriggering business eventually, though,, but this is some great progress regardless

[daring fern]

Yes, I don't understand what you mean with the retriggering.

[wooden nexus]

Is there a suit gate in the same fashion as an enhancement gate?

[daring fern]

No, you would have to use in_pool

[wooden nexus]

I forget, can i use in_pool through lovely?

[sly snow]

attempt at explaining through edited video ???? if it helps maybe ???

it really just goes 1; 3, 1; 5, 1, 3

there's definitely a better way of putting it but this is the best i can currently do

[daring fern]

So each card would be retriggered for each scoring card in front of it?

[sly snow]

yeah, i believe so

[hollow mango]

thats a crazy idea

awesome

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    local my_pos
    for i, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
        if context.other_card == v then
            my_pos = i
            break
        end
    end
    if #context.scoring_hand-my_pos > 0 then
        return {repetitions = #context.scoring_hand-my_pos}
    end
end
```?

[wooden nexus]

I assume that's a no?

[daring fern]

No, I don't understand what you mean.

[wooden nexus]

wdym you don't understand?

I'm trying to code mostly with lovely

I don't wanna have to make a joker all the way at the end just so i can have in_pool

[turbid frigate]

Hello! I'm still relatively new to modding, but I've spent the last few days trying to understand the documentation on how config menus work, and I just can't seem to understand it. I was wondering if someone could help me with my menu where it has a toggle that says "Weston Mode" which is default to off and then when toggled, switches the sprite of a joker. Is this easy to implement?

[daring fern]

You're not using SMODS?

[wooden nexus]

i'm trying to avoid for the most part

But yes, I'm not using SMODS to create the joker

[daring fern]

Then no, you can't use in_pool without SMODS

[wooden nexus]

Okay then... is there a way with smods to CHECK the suit of the card?

Because I found the code for enhancement gate with smods

                    add = nil
                    for kk, vv in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
                        if SMODS.has_enhancement(vv, v.enhancement_gate) then
                            add = true
                        end
                    end```

I can then make one for suit and then do that

[daring fern]

card:is_suit()?

[wooden nexus]

oh

duh

it's late lol

[charred widget]

If I wanted to create a negative consumable at the beginning of a round, how would i do that?

[sly snow]

it works quite well. not as precisely as in the effect demonstrated in the example (by going back to the first card and progressing upon scoring and whatnot) but it does get the job done 👍

[daring fern]

No, it would be SMODS.add_card({edition = 'e_negative'})

[wooden nexus]

    add = nil
    for kk, vv in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if vv:is_suit(v.suit_gate) then
            add = true
        end
    end```

What's wrong here?

[clear ocean]

god it working

[clear ocean]

cool!

what's the joker's name and such

[sly snow]

okay, as a final request regarding the joker im trying to implement, would it be fine to ask for a way to get this effect going as intended ?

[clear ocean]

well what's the code

[clear ocean]

not sure if joker and or card is needed text wise

DANG it not again

[daring fern]

You mean the cards score like the order in the video?

[sly snow]

yeah

1
3, retriggers 1
5, retriggers 1, retriggers 3

and whatnot

[clear ocean]

honestly the settings would be like

• one for spawning one of each of the stuff so if you only want lets say the planned editions, boss blinds, or stickers you can do that
• one for balancing
• one for item-specific joker support
• one for miscellaneous (like the title screen and if i do add soul-like or animated jokers, have an option to have it static

can't tell if this is an issue with the way i appended the code or if it's something else

[daring fern]

‎

[daring fern]

You need an in between i, v and ipairs

Also, install the Lua extension.

[sly snow]

upon scoring

[daring fern]

Which line is that?

[crystal perch]

how would i get the key of the opened booster pack when the player opens a booster pack

[daring fern]

context.open_booster and context.card.config.center.key

[crystal perch]

thank you

[daring fern]

What mods do you have?

[sly snow]

typist, debugplus and sticky fingers (+ steamodded and my own, of course)

[daring fern]

Can you put print(context) after if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then?

[clear ocean]

not sure what the word for the last one

maybe visibility?

[sly snow]

will do and report results when possible tomorrow as im now off of my pc

[crystal perch]

anyone have any idea why the game is crashing when i open a booster from a func called within my joker? this joker is supposed to open another booster of the same type when you skip a booster a certain amount of times per round, yet i'm getting this crash. the crash doesn't happen when the new booster materializes, it happens when it opens
here's the joker's code:

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.open_booster and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.booster = context.card.config.center.key
        end
        if context.skipping_booster and card.ability.extra.time > 0 and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.time = card.ability.extra.time - 1
            CHAK_UTIL.open_booster_pack(card.ability.extra.booster)
            return {
                message = "Again!",
                colour = G.C.FILTER
            }
        end
        if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.time = card.ability.extra.times
            return {
                message = "Refreshed!",
                colour = G.C.FILTER
            }
        end
    end

and here's the func for opening a new back

--- Creates and opens the specified booster pack
--- @param pack_key string
function CHAK_UTIL.open_booster_pack(pack_key)
  local booster = SMODS.create_card { key = pack_key, area = G.play }
  booster.T.x = G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w / 2 - G.CARD_W * 1.27 / 2
  booster.T.y = G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h / 2 - G.CARD_H * 1.27 / 2
  booster.T.w = G.CARD_W * 1.27
  booster.T.h = G.CARD_H * 1.27

  booster.cost = 0
  booster.from_tag = false

  G.FUNCS.use_card { config = { ref_table = booster } }
  booster:start_materialize()
end

this booster pack func has worked before btw, so idk why it's acting up now

it does materialize a new booster of the same type btw

[clear ocean]

uh is there a way to make this compact

[frosty rampart]

two columns

[clear ocean]

orange or blue?

[frosty rampart]

no like
you see how you have all your G.UIT.R nodes inside a single G.UIT.C node
after the first G.UIT.C node, make a second G.UIT.C node and move half of the G.UIT.R nodes to the second G.UIT.C node
(R stands for Row and C stands for Column)

[clear ocean]

would you prefer either alphabetical or having them in sets like the consumables on one row

and i do plan on adding other stuff like suits

for consumables i think for minor tarot either just put that in arcana packs or just make it where if you enable minor tarot it enables the boosters

[queen meadow]

how would i guarantee a jimboquip?

[daring fern]

weight = math.huge?

[queen meadow]

so like just use infinity

🔥

[bold gyro]

hey anyone familiar with ui stuff, i've added a button to my joker, but for some reason it gets rid of the sell button. what's causing this?

[lament agate]

is it possible to take ownership of every Joker

[true jasper]

probably

[lament agate]

thanks lexi

[true jasper]

you're welcome 🤑

[frosty rampart]

definitely possible, but there's potentially a better way to implement whatever you're trying to do

[jolly shadow]

me when I take ownership of all Joker so I can super mog my balatro

[true jasper]

Cryptid does something basically like that, maybe look how Cryptid does it

[lament agate]

in which lua

or toml

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[true jasper]

Cryptid.lua iirc

[lament agate]

im trying to override every Joker's name into one name

[lament agate]

ill check

[frosty rampart]

you'll probably want to hook a localization function instead, that way it a. even accounts for other modded jokers, and b. doesn't require taking ownership of 150 jokers
it's late so i dunno the finer details, but i can look into it for you tomorrow if you're interested

[lament agate]

yeah sure, hook me up tomorrow

if you remember of course

[umbral zodiac]

i read this as 'if you remember me of course' and i was about to say how sad that was

[lament agate]

first of all

fuck you too

[umbral zodiac]

i am so sorry that i have dyslexia

that's a lie i don't

[lament agate]

die sexy

[chrome widget]

@robust marsh So sorry this took so long, I was moving into a new house

You just set score_invisible = true on any blind definition object you want to hide the score for. The result is what you see in the video

[robust marsh]

DW ABOUT IT

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS STILL

[chrome widget]

It does properly reset after the blind is beaten, though it may still require some finessing? Since it shows the flash of the pure chip scores when it recreates them as expected (to fit regular blind behavior) + the entry on the round eval

The latter easy to fix if you gimme a sec, but the former requires a design decision

[robust marsh]

I don't mind since you win the game as soon as you beat the blind that i needed this for, but if you do want to you can fix it

i'll add this in a bit, also i'll credit you accordingly for it

[chrome widget]

shrug idrc about a credit

would you want to replace "score at least [requirement]" with smth like "KILL BOSS"

Otherwise the round eval row would look a little empty

[robust marsh]

that would be lovely actually

is there a possibility of removing the Reward: $$$$$ box

[chrome widget]

Sure. Does it not reward you?

[robust marsh]

nope, the boss is basically the "true final boss" in a sense

[chrome widget]

Ah. Then Ic ould probably just center the blind chip icon and then make it larger with the extra space from the removed round score section

[robust marsh]

would it be a hassle? I do think it would look good

[chrome widget]

Only issue is, again, the UI reset once the boss itself is cleared

[robust marsh]

but so far this is awesome

[chrome widget]

Since it'd be a more obvious "snap" back to the default UI

[robust marsh]

you don't have to bother with that actually, unless you wish to use this yourself

[chrome widget]

Im already using my own version so no

[robust marsh]

oki, then it's not needed

[chrome widget]

hmmmmmm ok gimme a sec to test this

[robust marsh]

alrighty !

[lavish elm]

is there a way to change the effects of the main 150 jokers?

[true jasper]

take ownership

[lavish elm]

how to take ownership?

[slim ferry]

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

[robust marsh]

feels very nice

[lament agate]

how do you make it so that the joker doesnt occupy a slot without using negative

[slim ferry]

extra_slots_used = -1 (i think)

[violet void]

🤞🏽

[chrome widget]

@robust marsh try this

[lucid owl]

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

[robust marsh]

ou

UI is scary

[chrome widget]

I'm in bed now so I can't do much til tomorrow for changes

[robust marsh]

no worries

thank you for the help regardless :)

[chrome widget]

What still needs work?

[robust marsh]

all blinds now inherit the reward message removal, but like at the end of the round which is strange. But besides that everything is completely fine

I think i fixed it

the defeat boss text doesnt appear, but that is okay

[lavish elm]

how to add references in your joker description eg. putting the word Joker and it shows the description of Joker(Jimbo) too in a smaller description window

[true jasper]

With an info queue

I'll get a link rq

[mystic river]

append the center to info queue, if you just want a center description

[true jasper]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#Localization-functions

[mystic river]

literally just

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_joker

would work as described

of course if you're trying to info queue a different thing other than a center, it becomes more complicated than that

[lavish elm]

something like that

[slim ferry]

yes thats what was just described

[true jasper]

Yeah, put what minty said in the loc vars function

[true jasper]

In your card

[slim ferry]

is THIS your card?

[lavish elm]

oh ok I am new to modding so I will be asking some dumb questions

[lavish elm]

nah just an example of what I mean

[slim ferry]

yeah ik

[lament agate]

inside of the Joker?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[lament agate]

nah doesnt work

[slim ferry]

wtf

damn

[dire marlin]

did anyone know how to make enhancement can be override with another enhancement so the card can have multiple enhancement?

[lavish elm]

so I want to make joker description work like misprint but the problem is I don't know how to create a ref table with a ref value so I want to know:
1- wth is a ref table and a ref value
2- how to make them
3- how to make the random numbers in a certain range

[slim ferry]

misprint doesnt need ref table/value to work

generally you dont need that unless youre doing something very complex

also have a look at the vremade misprint https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/34442a850d9ecbbac5d48b27507de99590908e27/src/jokers.lua#L647

[true jasper]

Quantum enhancements

[slim ferry]

more like quantum enlagcements..... am i right chat...

[daring fern]

You would have to hook Card:set_ability

[daring fern]

Did you put it in config?

[lament agate]

oh config

thanks

[robust marsh]

is there a way to check when another joker's calculate is triggered? Or when their effects are triggered. Either of the two

[slim ferry]

context.post_trigger?

[robust marsh]

ye that's it thank you

[lavish elm]

ok did a few tweaks but how do I make it so it works with this
text = {
"{X:mult,C:white}X#1#{} Mult"
}

currently it is giving me nil

[slim ferry]

return { vars = { ... } } in loc_vars

[lavish elm]

do I just return{vars = {main_start = main_start}}?

[slim ferry]

main_start is a seperate thing

Also if youre doing something like misprint you dont need a description, the entire thing is the main_start for vanilla misprint

[robust marsh]

is #G.jokers.cards the number of jokers in the joker area, just for clarification

[daring fern]

Yes.

[lavish elm]

no I want to do a joker that gives between 0 to 10x and I want the description to keep switching while keeping that Xmult background

[robust marsh]

ty

[lavish elm]

so is it like this return {main_start = main_start, vars = {main_start}}?

[slim ferry]

Without the vars

[lavish elm]

anything works with me but I find it easier with the vars

[slim ferry]

putting a main_start in vars doesnt do anything

[lavish elm]

so I can't do it with vars?

[slim ferry]

No, main_start is just a ui element that gets put at the start of the description

I would just copy the vanillaremade misprint thing and tweak the values for what youre doing

[lavish elm]

but I don't know how to give it that Xmult UI

[slim ferry]

Just change the one from misprint to use X instead of + and then give it a different background and text colour

Misprint doesnt actually have a description at all, its just the main start

[lavish elm]

yeah how do I the background that is the problem that I have with the mainstart

[slim ferry]

Go to the smods ui guide and scroll down to see if you can find some text background colour in the parameters

If its not there then youll probably have to make another uibox that the text is inside if for the colour

[mossy anchor]

where do ig et cryptid

[glass scaffold]

https://discord.gg/cryptid-1264429948970733782

Anyone able to figure out what's making it crash?

[slim ferry]

you spelled other_consumable correctly

it should be context.other_consumeable

[robust marsh]

caino

[slim ferry]

also same with message card, you accidentally spelled consumable correctly there too

[cursive gazelle]

Colour

[robust marsh]

i meann

[slim ferry]

colour isnt wrong

[robust marsh]

colour is correct

yeag

[cursive gazelle]

I’m not falling for the British propaganda

[robust marsh]

heirophant

[slim ferry]

color is just as wrong as colour

[cursive gazelle]

Funny

[slim ferry]

thats because your phone is american english

smh

[glass scaffold]

Thanks for helping, it's fully working now

[cursive gazelle]

Remember to not type correctly next time

[slim ferry]

modding momento

[ashen drift]

remember lads balatro is canadian

[cursive gazelle]

Why’s it not in French by default then

[slim ferry]

because they speak multiple languages in canada..?

[ashen drift]

canadian english is a whole nother language

[cursive gazelle]

They speak multiple languages in all countries of the world

[slim ferry]

also english is usually the default language for games

[glass scaffold]

This isn't correctly setting reroll cost to $1, anyone know what's wrong?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.reroll_cost doesn't exist.

[glass scaffold]

I was trying some random things to make it work. Do you know what does exist?

[daring fern]

G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost

[glass scaffold]

It only sets it to $1 for one reroll, I need it to persist.

[lyric maple]

        if context.after and not context.blueprint then
            local wild = {}
            for _, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, "m_wild") and not scored_card.debuff and not scored_card.daniyared then
                    wild[#wild + 1] = scored_card
                    scored_card.daniyared = true
                end
            end
            SMODS.destroy_cards(wild)
        end

trying to make a joker which destroyes all wild cards scored

[glass scaffold]

how do I do that? (please tell me I don't need a hook / patch)

[slim ferry]

In a calculate????

[glass scaffold]

-# yeah, that makes sense...

[lament agate]

in a cargo box?

[glass scaffold]

Well, it's getting the job done, but it doesn't apply immediately. Can that be fixed?

[dusk gale]

hey guys new here, does there exist documentation of game object G, seen it used like "G.jokers.cards" or "G.play"

just wondering what other fields it has

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/Steamodded/Wiki/pull/30

There was this

[glass scaffold]

So I change the value (which assuming is G.GAME.current_round.reroll_cost = card.ability.extra.final_cost) in redeem, then somehow set it again in the calculate function?

[dusk gale]

Thanks mate

[daring fern]

Firstly, you should be using context.destroy_card

[glass scaffold]

With this code, what exactly do I need to add or change to get this working?

[glass scaffold]

ignore that comma at 125, i removed it

[lyric maple]

oh

[wild berry]

how to get all the jokers of a mod?

[daring fern]

local jokers = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker) do
    if v.mod and v.mod.id == "modid" then
        table.insert(jokers, v.key)
    end
end

[wild berry]

kty

[lament agate]

still doesnt work somehow

[lavish elm]

is there a python fstring equivalent in lua?

[robust marsh]

config = { extra_slots_used = -1 } ? I don't see why it wouldn't work, one of my jokers uses it and it works just fine

[daring fern]

What is your SMODS version?

[wild berry]

i think you should just concatenate while using a multiline string ([[string]])

[lament agate]

0827

[daring fern]

Yes, string.format("%s, %s, %s, %s, %s", 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

[wild berry]

oh

[lament agate]

whats for playing cards?

[daring fern]

No, it's not.

[lament agate]

huh

it worked for me

[daring fern]

Yes, cards and card areas are not the same.

[lament agate]

ahh

whats the right one then

[daring fern]

There is no type for playing cards.

[lament agate]

i see

[lament agate]

do i need to update it

[lavish elm]

what does G.C.Background and its insides C D L do?

[red flower]

its the colors of the background

[lavish elm]

yeah but what does C D L mean? and what is the background for?

[red flower]

it's the background when you play a game, idk what C D and L mean specifically but they're the different colors used

[lavish elm]

{ n = G.UIT.O, config = { object = DynaText({ string = r_chips, colour = G.C.CHIPS, pop_in_rate = 9999999, silent = true, random_element = true, pop_delay = 0.5, scale = 0.32, min_cycle_time = 0 }) } },
why is the color still RED

[red flower]

dynatext doesnt take a single colour, i takes a colours table

[lavish elm]

how to tell the game that all suits are equal something like the smeared joker effect

[red flower]

this but instead of returning smeared_check you return true
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/34442a850d9ecbbac5d48b27507de99590908e27/src/jokers.lua#L3330

[wild berry]

how can i make a joker i just created negative

i mean

like

manually spawned with SMODS.add_card

[red flower]

SMODS.add_card { ... , edition = "e_negative" }

[wild berry]

ohhh

ok thanks

[lavish elm]

local card_is_suit_ref = Card.is_suit
function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
local ret = card_is_suit_ref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
if not ret and not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("joker_key")) then
return true
end
return ret
end
it is not working why?

[red flower]

i'm assuming joker_key is your joker's key?

like j_modprefix_key

[lavish elm]

yeah

[red flower]

no idea then that looks correct

[iron steeple]

hey is there a way to have a deck give jokers additional effects? i'm trying to do something more specific but for example would there be a way to have a deck give jokers x1.5 mult in addition to their effects (like them being polychrome, but this would stack with polychrome)

i don't think i can really override context.individual for jokers here, as that would replace the already existing xmult they have. i did try something with context.other_joker that seemed to work but the issue is it overrides normal other_joker effects so it breaks baseball card.

is there a way to add my own context to calculate jokers after scoring and give that 1.5x?

[lavish elm]

is it because my key has spaces?

[red flower]

it shouldnt be, but try to see if removing them fixes it

[red flower]

it shouldnt override baseball card, how were you doing it?

[maiden phoenix]

You can give decks calculate effects if that helps

[iron steeple]

ah lol there was a huge oversight on my part and i didn't figure out i can use context.other_joker in the deck's calculate effect for what i am trying to do many thanks

[maiden phoenix]

Np 👍

[wild berry]

how can i get a joker's edition

[cursive gazelle]

Card.edition

[wild berry]

kkty

is it nil if it has no edition?

[red flower]

yes

[wild berry]

alright

[lavish elm]

ok so I hovered over the :is_suit and it told that :is-suit is a duplicate field -> boolean|nil

[red flower]

yes because youre hooking it, thats normal

[lavish elm]

ok bc now it crashes at Card.lua bc it tried to index a nil value so situation got worse

ok nevermind no more crash

but it still doesn't work

[red flower]

like i said it should be j_<your mod prefix>_simple joker

in find_card

[lavish elm]

ohh ok now I get it thanks

ok now it works

[wispy falcon]

How do I make a spectral appear more in spectral packs and in the shop when playing ghost deck, if the player has a specific joker?

[wild berry]

whats the reason behind this appearing

[red flower]

there's no easy way to modify individual rates for cards

[lavish elm]

ok a side effect is that they become debuffed with any of those boss blinds how do I make not do that

[red flower]

you are returning a table without repetitions in context.repetitions (your context checks are probably not strict enough)

[wispy falcon]

What would you suggest I do?

[red flower]

my suggestion would be not to do that effect but maybe someone else has a solution

[wispy falcon]

Okay

[wild berry]

none of my jokers use it tho

[wild berry]

ohh

[stiff locust]

can't you make cards in pools more or less likely to appear

theoretically you could recreate the entire spectral pool and replace it with your own which has some cards at a changed rate

[red flower]

no unless you add rarities or you do something hacky

[stiff locust]

but the wiki said you can

oh no it needs rarities

yeah

i guess not

[red flower]

i mean i know there are some things you can do with in_pool to simulate this but idk how it would be and it sounds very jank

[wild berry]

smthing like this?

[red flower]

show the entire thing

[daring fern]

context.end_of_round and context.main_eval

[wild berry]

oh

[daring fern]

Also it would be {message = "Reset!"}

[wild berry]

yeah its an old one i made, thats an oversight i left

and this?

[daring fern]

That is normal.

[wild berry]

ah

also, is there a reason why my booster packs never appear in the shop?

[wispy falcon]

Shouldn't this if be true when I use the consumable on the joker?

        if G.jokers.highlighted and (#G.jokers.highlighted == 1) and G.jokers.highlighted[1] then
            if G.jokers.highlighted[1].key == "j_cstorm_ethereal_joker" then
                G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips = G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips * self.config.fullDouble
            else
                G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips = G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips * self.config.halfDouble
            end
        end
    end,```

Or does G.jokers.highlighted[1].key not exist?

[daring fern]

Yes, it's G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key

[wispy falcon]

Thank you

[iron steeple]

is there a context for determining when cards (specifically jokers) are destroyed? there's selling_card that works for when they're sold but i'm looking for one for destroyed cards (for example by ceremonial dagger)

[daring fern]

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

[wispy falcon]

And why do I get the crash "attempt to index field 'extra' (a nil value)" here?

        if G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key == "j_cstorm_ethereal_joker" and SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'cstorm_plusar_ethereal') then
            return true
        end
        return false
    end```

[daring fern]

card is the consumable, not the joker.

[wispy falcon]

Forgot to change that, my bad

Can I just use G.jokers.highlighted[1]?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wild berry]

??

[iron steeple]

thanks! though it seems that this doesn't trigger for ankh/hex (it only calculates the context when the getting_sliced param is true for the card), but i'll figure out a workaround

[wispy falcon]

Okay, either I am extremely lucky or my SMODS.get_probability_vars(G.jokers.highlighted[1], 1, self.config.odds, 'cstorm_plusar_ethereal') doesn't work properly

[lament agate]

where would i put no_collection = true

in config?

[daring fern]

No, outside of config.

[wispy falcon]

Like this

[lament agate]

ah okay

[daring fern]

Code?

[red flower]

this has been fixed in smods, idk if it is in the latest release

[wispy falcon]

    key = "pulsar",
    set = "Spectral",
    config = { max_highlighted = 1, halfDouble = 1.5, fullDouble = 2, odds = 10000 },
    atlas = "jokers_SPACEHOLDER",
    discovered = false,
    unlocked = true,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    can_use = function(self, card)
        if G.jokers.highlighted and (#G.jokers.highlighted == 1) and G.jokers.highlighted[1] and G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips ~= nil then
            return true
        end
    end,

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        if G.jokers.highlighted and (#G.jokers.highlighted == 1) and G.jokers.highlighted[1] then
            if G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key == "j_cstorm_ethereal_joker" then
                G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips = G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips * self.config.fullDouble
            else
                G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips = G.jokers.highlighted[1].ability.extra.chips * self.config.halfDouble
            end
        end
        if G.jokers.highlighted[1].config.center.key == "j_cstorm_ethereal_joker" and SMODS.get_probability_vars(G.jokers.highlighted[1], 1, self.config.odds, 'cstorm_plusar_ethereal') then
            SMODS.add_card { key = "c_cstorm_pulsar", area = G.consumeables}
        end
    end,

}```

[red flower]

i think it should be?

[red flower]

youre using the wrong function

it's SMODS.pseudorandom_probability when you want to do an effect

SMODS.get_probability_vars is for loc_vars

[iron steeple]

SMODS.calculate_context({joker_type_destroyed = true, card = self}) still seems to be called only when getting_sliced is set to true in the latest version, but i'll update steamodded and test it in a sec

[red flower]

it is

those cards were updated to use getting_sliced

[iron steeple]

ah there are updates that assign it to destruction events yes, neat

[wintry swallow]

Any clue where I would get started on making basic modification to the game? Like changing joker sprites and values?

[wintry swallow]

thanks!

[wispy falcon]

Now I get this error

[red flower]

youre passing a string

i think you got the arguments wrong because that function adds the seed

[violet oasis]

Denominator is the max chance. If it's 1 in 4, 1 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator

[wispy falcon]

Yeah, I currently have SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(G.jokers.highlighted[1], 1, self.config.odds, 'cstorm_plusar_ethereal')

[red flower]

yeah you're missing the seed

[wild berry]

bump

[red flower]

docs are here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0711a

[wispy falcon]

What should the identifier be? The key?

[red flower]

you can omit it

it uses the seed

[rotund sable]

*if you don't specify it yourself

[red flower]

well duh

[rotund sable]

I mean it's quite obvious but yk

[lavish elm]

local card_is_suit_ref = Card.is_suit
function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
bypass_debuff = true
local ret = card_is_suit_ref(self, suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)
if not ret and not SMODS.has_no_suit(self) and next(SMODS.find_card("j_xmpl_simple joker")) then
return true
end
return ret
end
ok why does not bypass the debuff or does it do something else?

[hearty mesa]

why is my config tab doing this

function SMODS.current_mod.config_tab()
    local config_nodes = {n=G.UIT.ROOT, config = {align = "cm", colour = G.C.L_BLACK, minw = 4, minh = 4}, nodes = {
        {n = G.UIT.C, config = {align = "cm"}, nodes = {}}
    }}
    config_nodes.nodes[1].nodes[1] = create_toggle{
        label = "Does Don Quixote do the funny?",
        ref_table = lcb_config,
        ref_value = "don_is_funny"
    }
    config_nodes.nodes[1].nodes[2] = create_option_cycle{
        label = "Limbus Pack Music",
        w = 6.3,
        scale = 0.9,
        options = {
            "Extraction Theme",
            "Abnormality Extraction Theme",
            "Oh Crab, So Crab",
            "La Mancha Carnival",
            "A Midspring Night's Dream 2",
            unsuspicious_text,
        },
        opt_callback = "lcb_switch_pack_music",
        current_option = lcb_config.limbus_pack_music
    }
    config_nodes.nodes[1].nodes[3] =
    {n = G.UIT.C, config = {align = "cm", padding = 0.1}, nodes = {
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.1, r = 0.1, hover = true, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_INACTIVE, button = 'lcb_go_to_github', shadow = true, w = 1, h = 1}, nodes={
            {n=G.UIT.T, config={scale = 0.3, text = "This Mod's Github", align = "cm"}},
        }},
        {n=G.UIT.C, config={align = "cm", padding = 0.1, r = 0.1, hover = true, colour = G.C.GREEN, button = 'lcb_go_to_download', shadow = true, w = 1, h = 1}, nodes={

        }}
    }}
    return config_nodes
end

(i mean the big space on the right side btw)

[red flower]

bypass debuff is so a card is considered a suit regardless of debuff, it doesnt prevent blind debuffs

[lavish elm]

ok how to bypass the blind debuff?

ok how to check for a specific boss blind?

[slim ferry]

context.debuff_card allows you to return prevent_debuff = true to prevent the card from being debuffed

[lavish elm]

it works thanks

[wild berry]

why doesnt this work?

doesnt even print

[slim ferry]

because it only debuffs cards in the hand

[wild berry]

oh

because i want to debuff it when its drawn

[slim ferry]

and debuffs are only calculated at the start of the round, when the cards are in your deck

[robust marsh]

mm how would i make it so a joker gets dissolved as soon as it's put into the joker area? I'm asking specifically for that because I also want it to do something else but I wanna figure out how to pull this off first

[red flower]

destroy it in add_to_deck

[robust marsh]

alrighty

wait

i'm like

talking about all jokers

this is deck specific

[slim ferry]

is that not the same as debuffing them regardless of their location

[red flower]

destroy it in an add_to_deck hook

[slim ferry]

because theyre still going to be debuffed once drawn

[robust marsh]

oh

i forgot i can just do that gg

[red flower]

or in the context for added cards

[robust marsh]

thank you

[wild berry]

right

but still, the point is that it doesnt work

[slim ferry]

change the cardarea to G.deck

[wild berry]

it worked, ty

[daring fern]

No, because if the debuffs are recalculated, it will undebuff the cards in hand.

[slim ferry]

oh true

make the cardarea ~= G.jokers

[wild berry]

done

[lament agate]

@frosty rampart yo

[lavish elm]

how to disable retriggering in jokers?

[slim ferry]

i think you can add and not context.retrigger_joker or something along those lines to a check to make it not be retriggered

[frosty rampart]

yo
I'll look into it later this afternoon, I'm busy for the next few hours but I haven't forgotten

[lament agate]

sure

[steady smelt]

how do I add the description of a specific owned joker to info_queue? like, not that joker's description in general, but the one that's actually owned

adding lucky cat's description to info_queue always shows it currently at x1, but i want it to reflect the currently value of an owned joker

for example i have a lucky cat that's at x4, and another joker copying it and i want to add the x4 lucky cat description to its info_queue, but it always displays in the info_queue at x1

[slim ferry]

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = { set = "Joker", key = <card>.config.center.key, config = <card>.ability }

[gilded goblet]

wtf? you can do that?

[slim ferry]

yeah, if you do the center it does the base config but if you do this you can just put anything as the config

such as that of an existing card

the only difference is that it wont have recursive tooltips (so the lucky cat tooltip wont have the lucky card tooltip added on as well)

[steady smelt]

i'm definitely doing something wrong

[slim ferry]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[robust marsh]

works like a charm, I never checked this but I assume I can use key_append to check if a joker is created by a specific source and prevent it from being destroyed

[slim ferry]

whats the info_queue code

[steady smelt]

why are so many people a letter and then an apostrophe

[robust marsh]

M'

[steady smelt]

checking it might be my fault

[slim ferry]

funy

[steady smelt]

maybe i should go ahead and claim mine

[slim ferry]

K'

[gilded goblet]

N' homage, gone too soon 😢

[slim ferry]

i accidentally started it

because N called be H once as a joke

[steady smelt]

info queue is

forgery_c is

local forgery_c = G.GAME.current_round.forgery_joker.card or nil

[daring fern]

You can't store cards in G.GAME

[steady smelt]

i mean evidently you can

[slim ferry]

it wont save

[steady smelt]

i have a save load function

it does

[slim ferry]

oh okay

[steady smelt]

MANIFOLD.funcs.reset_forgery_joker = function()
    G.GAME.current_round.forgery_joker.card = nil
    local valid_forgery_jokers = {}
    if #G.jokers.cards > 0 then
        for k, v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if v.config.center.blueprint_compat and v.config.center.key ~= 'j_manifold_forgery' then
                valid_forgery_jokers[#valid_forgery_jokers+1] = v
            end
        end
    end
    if valid_forgery_jokers[1] then 
        local forgery_joker = pseudorandom_element(valid_forgery_jokers, pseudoseed('manifold_forgery'..G.GAME.round_resets.ante))
        G.GAME.current_round.forgery_joker.card = forgery_joker
    end
end

this actually sets the target

i can only imagine the config is lost somewhere

[red flower]

yes

[robust marsh]

oki

[stiff locust]

can UI boxes display images

[steady smelt]

i guess i could make a separate var to save the current target's config and get that?

assuming nothing else stupid is wrong

[slim ferry]

i mean just putting the ability in there should work i imagine

unless some variable names change or smth

[steady smelt]

oh is it bc i'm setting only forgery_joker.card

that's probably it

so it's pulling the config from nil which was the initialized value

or

wait no that should work still right

[slim ferry]

forgery_joker.card is the card though so the ability should still exist

[steady smelt]

yeah

are we sure it should be config = <card>.ability? and not <card>.config or ability = something

[slim ferry]

im fairly sure

since thats where the center config values get copied into

[steady smelt]

im gonna print forgery_c and see if there's stuff

it did in fact print stuff

[slim ferry]

is there also an ability table

in there

[steady smelt]

ability: Table:
  extra: 0.25
  h_chips: 0
  hands_played_at_create: 0
  mult: 0
  h_x_chips: 1
  perma_mult: 0
  order: 91
  +29 more values.

yeah

[slim ferry]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

i feel like that should work

[steady smelt]

is there documentation for info_queue?

[red flower]

no other than the fact it exists

[steady smelt]

yippee

feels like a trend

[red flower]

the trend is that most of vanilla is undocumented

[hardy viper]

you put centers in it and the game magically converts them to info boxes

[red flower]

too many joker loadouts

[slim ferry]

wtf is Loadouts

[hardy viper]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1418452535370317914

[slim ferry]

ohhh that

[hardy viper]

yeah

[fiery bronze]

Is it possible to mod changes into the source code in a way? Like making your own unofficial "patch"/update to the game

[robust marsh]

local old_add_to_deck = Card.add_to_deck
function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
    old_add_to_deck(self, from_debuff)
    if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_tdec_tainted_zodiac" then
        if self.ability.set == "Joker" then
            self:start_dissolve()
        end
    end
end

How would i check key_append here? I tried snooping around for it and couldn't find the exact thing i'm looking for

[steady smelt]

does anything in vanilla pass through info_queue config/abilities?

[fiery bronze]

Like, say I wanted to change how a base game joker functions. Is that possible?

[slim ferry]

you can use hooks or patches

[red flower]

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

[fiery bronze]

neat

[slim ferry]

hooks are a bit more limited but more likely to be compatible with other mods

[red flower]

you might also use take_ownership for that

[slim ferry]

patches can do like anything

[red flower]

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

[steady smelt]

wish i had that instead of fully teaching myself how patches work

[robust marsh]

[steady smelt]

still never used a hook and only ownership in very jank ways

[fiery bronze]

Time to learn

Thanks

[red flower]

i never used patches in like my first 8 months of coding

[steady smelt]

i definitely way overuse them but it works

and idrc about other mod compat

[hardy viper]

didn't lovely patches always have documentation

[red flower]

yeah

[steady smelt]

probably, i'm just dumb and illiterate

apparently vanilla passes config in some cases through to info_queue with vars = ...

i, think

[red flower]

yes

[hardy viper]

ive seen that before idk what the idea of it is

[red flower]

for things with set Other it works at least

[steady smelt]

config does feel like it should work tho

unless info_queue just doesn't take that

[red flower]

it does, sometimes

[robust marsh]

[red flower]

custom info_queues are very janky

what are you trying to do

[red flower]

key_append is only before the card is created

[steady smelt]

^

convo started there

[red flower]

yeah no idea

[robust marsh]

i mean, I did give it a key_append

but i don't know how to check for it

[red flower]

add_to_deck is too late

[robust marsh]

ah

[red flower]

you have it as an argument in get_current_pool and create_card

you can just add a flag to the card tho

[steady smelt]

setting config = forgery_c.ability gives this issue but setting vars or ability = forgery_c.ability crashes and says ability is nil so it might still be a me issue

[robust marsh]

alright

[steady smelt]

even tho ability is def not nil

[red flower]

yeah someone was trying to do something similar but had the same problem

idk what the solution is

[steady smelt]

helpful

[robust marsh]

nobody is all knowing

[red flower]

it doesnt help that vanilla is very hardcoded

and the names for the fields used in loc_vars are sometimes different for no reason

[robust marsh]

I tried adding a flag to the card but it still gets dissolved immediately

[red flower]

show code

[robust marsh]

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = "after",
                    func = function()
                        local crafted_card = SMODS.add_card {
                            set = "Joker",
                            rarity = totalvalue_rarity,
                            key_append = "crafted_by_bag"
                        }
                        crafted_card.is_crafted = true
                        return true
                    end
                }))

local old_add_to_deck = Card.add_to_deck
function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
    old_add_to_deck(self, from_debuff)
    if G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == "b_tdec_tainted_zodiac" then
        if self.ability.set == "Joker" and not self.is_crafted then
            self:start_dissolve()
        end
    end
end

Both r in separate files, i put them together for this

[red flower]

oh yeah makes sense

use SMODS.create_card and then add it and emplace it yourself

[robust marsh]

alright

[glacial topaz]

Hi, does anyone know how I would set a hotkey for a mod up so that it can work off of a controller's button press?

[red flower]

i hook Controller:button_press_update for one of my mods

[robust marsh]

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    trigger = "after",
                    func = function()
                        local crafted_card = SMODS.create_card {
                            set = "Joker",
                            rarity = totalvalue_rarity,
                            key_append = "crafted_by_bag",
                        }
                        crafted_card.is_crafted = true
                        G.jokers:emplace(crafted_card)
                        return true
                    end
                }))

This worked, thank you N :)

[red flower]

youre not adding it to deck

[robust marsh]

huh

[red flower]

crafted_card:add_to_deck()

[robust marsh]

oh i

i forgot i have to do that

[glacial topaz]

Ohhhhh I SEE.,.... How would I check for a specific button press, like Select?

[robust marsh]

otherwise the add to deck wont trigger for the respective joker

thank you

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/JokerDisplay/blob/7d7a61761b13894820270f9664d33685f54ec82a/src/controller.lua#L51

[robust marsh]

now i have to add crafting recipes lol this will be so fun

[glacial topaz]

tysm.,..!!

[stiff locust]

new UI code crash

any UI peoples in chat

I pretty much copied my code from the working UI to make a new one, changed the layout and it stopped working

forgot to send code whoops

                }
            })
        })
        G.OVERLAY_MENU:recalculate()

it still looks awful in discord because of text wrapping

[gusty compass]

does anyone happen to know what is the reason behind this crash?

[slim ferry]

show the code first

that would help

[gusty compass]

the whole thing right?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[slim ferry]

also when did the crash happen

[gusty compass]

i dont have a good idea when

[slim ferry]

well what were you doing when the crash happened

[gusty compass]

testing and debugging

[slim ferry]

well yes but

in the game

what did you do before the crash

[gusty compass]

at first i thought it was the Uno joker since each time it crashed, Uno was in my joker slots

before i was just playing around with the jokers

test sake and all

[slim ferry]

also you dont use math.min anywhere so i dont think its your mod thats crashing

unless its some game function that uses it

[gusty compass]

yea, im not sure why but it decides to crash now and not earlier

[fiery bronze]

How does one make a joker convert cards to an enhancement (kinda like how midas mask does)

[slim ferry]

have you looked at midas mask in vanillaremade

[fiery bronze]

no I should

lemme look

[gusty compass]

but yea it might be internally, and im not really certain how i can fix this since it happens even if i sold my modded jokers and kept vanilla ones

[slim ferry]

if it happens without any of your mods content it might be related to some hook youre using ig

if you have any hooks

[gusty compass]

does this count? ```lua -- Hook the new parameter, why is this not documented bruh
local Sr_Ref = Game.start_run
function Game.start_run(self, args)
local Ret = Sr_Ref(self, args)
SMODS.set_scoring_calculation("GG_powerCalc")
return Ret
end

welp there goes formatting

[slim ferry]

i mean that is a hook

but it doesnt crash on run start so i doubt its the cause

[gusty compass]

yea it hooks the SMODS.Scoring_Calculation and seems to be the only hook here

[slim ferry]

also what is that comment lol

[gusty compass]

idk

i cant format for the life of me

[slim ferry]

no but like why that comment

[gusty compass]

oh wait you meant that

[slim ferry]

what isnt documented

[gusty compass]

hooking the SMODS.Scoring_Calculation

its not documented in the wiki

[slim ferry]

i mean youre hooking Game.start_run here

also SMODS.Scoring_Calculation is relatively new so no docs yet

[gusty compass]

yea

but in term, yea i have no idea why this bug occurs

since it works fine for the first few antes

and it just dies on around the 3rd ante

[slim ferry]

also you dont need to hook start_run for this, you could instead just do

SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals = function(run_start)
  if run_start then
    SMODS.set_scoring_calculation("GG_powerCalc")
  end
end

[gusty compass]

i will test that rq

[slim ferry]

generally should have the same effect as a start_run hook except itll be more clear if it caused the crash or not

[gusty compass]

yea it connects the scoring calc, but the bug still occurs

even discarding seems to crash it 😔

should i try disabling my mod and see if it has the same effect?

[slim ferry]

probably yea

[fiery bronze]

I feel dumb for asking but what is ipairs

[slim ferry]

it loops over the integer-indexed values of a table

in order

pairs is the same but it goes over everything in no particular order

[slim ferry]

also, ipairs stops when it encounters any nil value

[fiery bronze]

Ah, so does that mean that full_hand is a table?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[fiery bronze]

ohhhhhh

(lwk i'm new to LUA and am figuring it out as I go lol)

[slim ferry]

ipairs can be used on like, any cardarea to loop through it

[fiery bronze]

makes sense

luckily It's not my first language or anything, I know C# and Python to an extent

[slim ferry]

also because lua tablea are funny, for example, if you play one card, context.full_hand[1] will be the exact same thing as G.play[1]. i assume you already coded as if this was the case but you probably didnt really think about it i imagine

[wintry solar]

What does your scoring calc code look like?

[gusty compass]

Hold on

[slim ferry]

basically tables are completely anonymous and the variables associated with them just point to the table, so setting a variable to another one which is also a table will just make them both point to the same table

[fiery bronze]

alr

what about loc_vars? I have a guess as to what it does but i'm curious

[slim ferry]

its used for passing variables and other information into the joker description

it can also pass colours allowing for dynamic colours

[gusty compass]

pretty sure the scoring calc code was the same as before

[wintry solar]

Get rid of the type check

[slim ferry]

main_end and main_start are a thing which can be useful at times

and the info_queue is for adding tooltips to a card

[wintry solar]

I am 95% sure that is the problem

[gusty compass]

alr

[modern kindle]

Eremel my friend
Good to see you

[fiery bronze]

is it also a table?

it has the same look as one

[slim ferry]

yeah, its a table of centers and tables with localization arguments

thats also why just changing the info_queue argument actually affects the info_queue outside of the function without returning, because lua tables are just awesome like that

[fiery bronze]

centers?

[slim ferry]

all of these things

[fiery bronze]

ah

[bold sleet]

what the FUCK is userdata

[slim ferry]

theyre basically, well, the main part of the card. theres also a front, which is the sprite for a cards rank and suit, and a back which is the back sprite of a card

theres like a vanillaremade thing on this

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-frontcenterback ah here

[fiery bronze]

ah alr

thanks

[chrome widget]

Do you still need any changes on this? The one thing I was missing was just to add the score_invisible check to the round eval

[gusty compass]

I got rid of the type and tested it, it worked for the original crash but now it crashes when I would play or discard a flipped down card, and the type seemed to fix it

I'm pretty sure it worked for the first crash

[wintry solar]

Hi dilly, how have you been?

[modern kindle]

Its been rough out here
But im trying my best
Life has taken a horrendous turn currently so ive been a bit less active

[wintry solar]

Share the crash

[gusty compass]

Alr lemme fetch it rq

Btw it references the code block that had the type condition

Yea for a split sec I see that the Scoring_Calc parameter shows "?" And doesn't want to reveal

[red flower]

i hope everything goes better soon

[modern kindle]

Much love N

[wintry solar]

That’s sad to hear, hope things turn around quickly!

[gusty compass]

theres the crash btw

[gusty compass]

im sorry to hear that, hope it goes better too

[wintry solar]

Hmmmm

[gusty compass]

I might know why it happens tho

You know how Chips and Mult show "?" upon selecting a face down card?

[chrome widget]

Hi Dilly! Hi N'!

Hi Eremel!

[red flower]

hi winter!!

how are you doing

[chrome widget]

Moving

[gusty compass]

The power scoring calc doesn't seem to exit "?" on scoring when the card is revealed, so it attempts to do Chips × Mult ^ "?" (String)

[chrome widget]

I have been busy setting up stuff for move so haven't done much modding recently myself. I now live with these two weirdos

[willow scroll]

ok i might be dumb how do i use SMODS.merge_effects() in conjunction with two SMODS.blueprint_effect()?

[wintry solar]

Yeah that’s the issue, I’m not sure why that’s happening though, I can’t browse the code very well on mobile

[willow scroll]

im doing some chicanery again but i can assure you if i return return1 or return2 instead of a merge that works just fine

[gusty compass]

Yea I get you, also if I can't rely on using a type() to determine whether it is not a number, do you have any suggestions?

[red flower]

local ret1 = SMODS.blueprint_effect(...) or {}
local ret2 = ...
return SMODS.merge_effects{ret1, ret2}

[willow scroll]

thats crazy thats literally my screenshot

[red flower]

no

[willow scroll]

no?

[red flower]

you're missing {}

[willow scroll]

wait only the {}?

or both?

({})

[wintry solar]

Well the issue is that your type check means the function doesn’t return anything when the string is present which is why it crashed

[red flower]

both work

[willow scroll]

neat didnt know that

i may be smart :clueless:

thanks

[gusty compass]

I see, so should I consider only using Chips and Mult if Power is not valid

Instead of just stopping a return, I could have two returns inside an if else?

[wintry solar]

Just do something like return mult * chips below the check

[fiery bronze]

trying to figure out how to make certain cards count as an enhancement. My first instinct was to look at pareidolia, but I can't understand what the code for it is doing 😭

[gusty compass]

Alr I'll give that a shot

[red flower]

what specifically are you looking to do? this sounds like quantum enhancements

[fiery bronze]

I want to make played 7s count as lucky cards when you have the joker (I think this already exists in a mod but I want to figure out how to make it work myself)

[slim ferry]

the pareidolia hook below is just checking for if pareidolia is present, and if so, always returning true on is_face

[red flower]

read the quantum enhancement one https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#what-are-optional-features

[slim ferry]

quantum enlagcements.... 😨

[fiery bronze]

oh that's cool

[wintry solar]

They’re not cool

We don’t like quantum enhancements

[red flower]

true

[gusty compass]

😨

[chrome widget]

Quantum Enhancements are cool but they're jank and finicky by design

And I admittedly am looking forward to Quantum Ranks too 👉 👈

[red flower]

quantum suits when

[gusty compass]

New smods update fr

Jk

[slim ferry]

what is this, some kind of Smeared Joker?

[fiery bronze]

where am I putting this codewise

[red flower]

anywhere

[slim ferry]

anywhere that gets loaded

[red flower]

dont put the entire thing just the features you want

[fiery bronze]

Do I put it in the joker file?

[slim ferry]

.

[gusty compass]

Yea the power calc is "?" during scoring

[carmine chasm]

I started modding and I don't know what to put into the folder of my mod. I watched a tutorial and the files they linked have been changed a lot so what should I do?

[gusty compass]

There's a good wiki for it

[cursive gazelle]

You need at least

1 lua file
1 json file

[carmine chasm]

is that it?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#general-development

check the basic mod part if you dont care about the set up

[slim ferry]

yeah, though having more lua files is usually better for organization purposes imo

[willow scroll]

okay blueprinting two common suit cards together doesnt work

however two jimbos work

[carmine chasm]

ok

[gusty compass]

There's https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod too

[red flower]

tomato and tomato soup..

[cursive gazelle]

Stack code in one file

[slim ferry]

😨

[gusty compass]

Oh boy

[slim ferry]

cardinal sin

[carmine chasm]

hmm, He's in my blood

[cursive gazelle]

Canned tomato soup

[carmine chasm]

or is my blood?

[slim ferry]

he is made of your blood

i think

[willow scroll]

hm this is more jank than i thought

[gusty compass]

Converging pathways 😭

[carmine chasm]

😭 😭 😭 😭

[willow scroll]

oh neat i got the game to freeze

certified chicanery

[gusty compass]

I'm having a hard time believing this is not coincidental

So uh, wheres tin can

Or aluminium

[cursive gazelle]

Two people had the same pfp in the past 2 days
Coincidentally

Both ended up changing

[gusty compass]

Crazy

[hearty mesa]

is there a way to make a card undebuff itself? im trying to make a joker's effect that debuffs itself for 1 hand

[carmine chasm]

what's different with the id and Name in the .json file?

[vale grove]

hey y'all one very simple and probably very stupid question.
iam making a balatro mod for me and friends right now and currently it doesnt show up in the mods tab in balatro itself. Iam following a tutorial and feel asthough i havent missed any steps,

[gusty compass]

Does it contain valid metadata in a json file?

[cursive gazelle]

What does your mod folder look like

[vale grove]

probably not lol

[cursive gazelle]

Mod id
Mod name

[vernal path]

id is the thing that gets put in your objects, like j_tomato_jonkler, whereas name is the display name

[vale grove]

what is that supposed to look like if i may ask?

[cursive gazelle]

1 s

[vale grove]

i have no experience in lua nor am i very experienced programmer

[carmine chasm]

ok nthanks

[gusty compass]

It's mainly data that the modloader uses to describe your mod

[cursive gazelle]

https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod

[hearty mesa]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Mod-Metadata

[gusty compass]

this is my metadata file if you need an example{
"id": "Gooodsoups_Garbage",
"name": "Gooodsoups' Garbage",
"author": ["Gooodsoups"],
"description": "Adds random jokers and jinkies to make your balatro experience horrendous!",
"prefix": "GG",
"main_file": "main.lua",
"badge_colour": "8201B4",

"dependencies": [
    "Talisman (>=2.5)"
]

}

[cursive gazelle]

This is a mod example that adds jokers , it should help

[vale grove]

ah the tutorial iam following is just outdated then

[gusty compass]

yea it might

[slim ferry]

i think you confused the id and prefix

id is just an internal identifier for the mod

[gusty compass]

smods now uses one json and a minimum of one lua file

[vale grove]

also another quick question what is the prefix used for?

[carmine chasm]

i have this ``` {
"id": "UnbalancedJokers",
"name": "Unbalanced Jokers",
"author": ["Tomato"],
"description": "This is a mod that makes every joker unbalanced in your favor",
"prefix": "",
"main_file": "UnbalancedJokers.lua",
"version": "1.0.0"
}

[slim ferry]

its added to all your object keys

[gusty compass]

you need to include a prefix im pretty sure

use UJ if you want

[vernal path]

oops you're right
i forgot they were separate entries lol

[carmine chasm]

Does it matter what it is?

[slim ferry]

no

[gusty compass]

not really

[carmine chasm]

ok

[hearty mesa]

no, but it should be related to your mod cuz you're gonna be typing it often

[gusty compass]

since smods just uses prefixes to separate mods and avoid clashes

as far as i know

[slim ferry]

its just a thing that gets added to your object keys between the base key and class prefix

[carmine chasm]

ok

[hearty mesa]

also bump

[vale grove]

also is badge_colour required?

[gusty compass]

i dont think so

its mainly cosmetic

[cursive gazelle]

Just put a random color

[hearty mesa]

nope, it defaults to hex #666665

[vernal path]

do a hook

[slim ferry]

trvth nvke

[hearty mesa]

noo my only weakness

[gusty compass]

everyones weakness 😔

[vernal path]

hook like, update, or final scoring step context

or you can patch it, idc

[hearty mesa]

evaluate_play_final_scoring?

oh context

nvm

[carmine chasm]

I now only have 2 files a .json and .lua

is it enough

[gusty compass]

the json contains your metadata right

[carmine chasm]

yes

[gusty compass]

yea it should show up i think

[carmine chasm]

ok thanks

[vale grove]

wait are you supposed to have a seperate file containing metadata?

currently its just in my main 😭

[vernal path]

you shouldnt be defining you mod in a lua file anymore

[gusty compass]

its in a json now

[vernal path]

thats old stuff, put it in a json
