[gusty compass]

cus integrating your header in lua is depricated

[vale grove]

yeah the tutorial im following does that haha

[gusty compass]

its prob outdated

[hearty mesa]

-# yikes

[vernal path]

its definitely outdated

[vale grove]

its from 10 months ago so safe to say that it is yeah

[carmine chasm]

how would I get information of the main balatro game?

[hearty mesa]

wait nvm

[gusty compass]

for example?

[vale grove]

also i have no clue what a json is is it a txt file with .json at the end?

[carmine chasm]

the hanging chad

or other jokers

[gusty compass]

yea its like file.json

[hearty mesa]

basically (it has to follow specific rules but yea)

[gusty compass]

you cant really refer to main jokers, but you can override them

you can create your own jokers tho

[vale grove]

so this works then?

[gusty compass]

yea ig

[slim ferry]

all jokers are inside of G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, and then theres G.P_CENTERS which has like every card

[hearty mesa]

no, right now thats metadata.json.txt

you need to change the file extension

[gusty compass]

im wrong then lol

[slim ferry]

you should turn on show file extensions in your file explorer...

[vernal path]

its a good idea to enable viewing file extensions in explorer

same braincell

[carmine chasm]

can I get a code example of how to get them. (I have never workt with multiple files outside a game engine)

[vale grove]

how does that work?

[slim ferry]

weergeven > weergeven > bestandsnaamextensies

[carmine chasm]

that's dutch

[gusty compass]

extensies?

[slim ferry]

yeah and that guys file explorer is also in dutch lol

[vernal path]

all files have a file extension, which tell the puter what kind of file it is. text files have .txt, json files have .json, photos might have .jpeg, etc

[carmine chasm]

lol

[fiery bronze]

what does other_card do?

[slim ferry]

context.other_card is the secondary card being evaluated in most scoring contexts

[vernal path]

by default, windows hides these, since they usually arent important. but for doing more you should turn them on so you can see them correctly

[fiery bronze]

I have this so far for the function of the card, but I want to change it so it applies only to played sevens

[slim ferry]

like the playing card in cotnext.individual for example

[vale grove]

yes i understand that but how do i make a .json file?

on windows 11

[slim ferry]

add and context.other_card.area == G.play

[vernal path]

just turn on file extensions and remove .txt from it

[fiery bronze]

what does that do

[vale grove]

i feel really stupid but where do i do that?

or how

[slim ferry]

it checks if the card's area is the area for played cards

[vernal path]

no you want context.cardarea == G.play

[slim ferry]

thats the same effect

[vernal path]

by the power of google i smite thee

[slim ferry]

also its context.cardarea without underscore

[vernal path]

ohfuck ur right

[slim ferry]

#💻・modding-dev message

[fiery bronze]

alr, what does and do and where do I put the code?

[carmine chasm]

can I get a code example for getting G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker in my .lua file.

[vernal path]

it checks to see where the card is, whether its in the play area, or in the hand, or in the jokers, etc. and its just another check, so put it in the if statement

[fiery bronze]

ok

[slim ferry]

it goes into the if statement, making if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.base.value == "7" and context.other_card.area == G.play then (in this case, context.cardarea is identical to context.other_card.area so you can use that too)

[vernal path]

i recommend taking a basics in programming course, either from lua's website or something else. It's a fairly basic thing but if you're not certain about it its probably a good idea to learn or refresh yourself on the basics.

[carmine chasm]

I programmed a couple years in Luau so I know most of it

which is just an extension on lua

[fiery bronze]

ngl even after all the programming i've done before, I often have trouble figuring out how to implement pieces of documentation/where to put them because the technical terms are so hard to understand

[carmine chasm]

but it's limited to a game engine

[vernal path]

its a global table. I still recommend taking a refresher.

[carmine chasm]

ok

[vernal path]

smods has a built in table printer, so you can try just printing stuff in-game, if your code environment gives you nothing

[vale grove]

something else i just thought of, the "lua" file iam working in is also .lua.txt, could that be another reason its not working?

[vernal path]

very

the only file extension that matters in a file is the last one

[fiery bronze]

ok so to make sure i'm understanding, this is one big and gate. I have no clue what check enhancement is, but it checks if it's true, then other_card.base.value checks for all current cards in the current hand/game area, and then the g.play one means it only passes as true for cards in the play area. Because it's an AND gate, all of these have to be true or it doesn't do anything.

[vernal path]

everything else is just the file name

[vale grove]

i got that im just a little confused on how to actually get rid of them XD

[vernal path]

sure
check enhancement is a context thats triggered if the game checks for an enhancement on a card

[willow scroll]

how does one multibox for joker descriptions

[vernal path]

just remove the end

[slim ferry]

make text be a table of tables of text rather than a table of text

[willow scroll]

i see thanks

[vale grove]

on windows 11 it doesnt seem that simple

i say seem because it might be and im just not that smart

[vernal path]

text = {
  t1 = { "blah" },
  t2 = { "blah2" },

[fiery bronze]

Alright

[vernal path]

literally just rename it and remove the end.

[vale grove]

unless i have setting turned off i cant do that

[slim ferry]

omfg

turn on

file extensions in file explorer

grahhh

[vale grove]

how do i do that rahh

[slim ferry]

here

[vernal path]

🥀

[vale grove]

not in dutch this time

listen man its my first time working like this

[slim ferry]

okay

[vale grove]

and normally i work in windows 10

🥀

[vernal path]

can you maybe just google it

google is here for you

it can answer anything about file explorer

and windows usually

https://fileinfo.com/help/windows_11_show_file_extensions

[vale grove]

oh there

now i got it

sorry for waisting yalls time lol

[vernal path]

are schools not teaching how to google things anymore? i feel like people have forgotten how to be normal but maybe we're not teaching the young'ns how anymore

[vale grove]

my school legit just says ask AI lol

[slim ferry]

😭

thats actually crazy

[vale grove]

no but in all seriousness i was already in this discord asking

[vale grove]

yeah i dont really learn much there if you couldnt tell already

[vernal path]

literally google is 1 click away

[vale grove]

well yeah but if im already asking here someone might have the answer easily ready yk

and you guys did

i just didnt know where to look

[vernal path]

we've answered it a ton of times

[slim ferry]

hearing people say "just ask ai" instead of "just google it" feels fucking insane lmao

[vernal path]

we cant reach into your computer and do it for you, you have to do some amount of work

[vale grove]

yeah were encouraged to use it as a helping toll here

[vale grove]

of course i was just a little confused on where the actual thingy was bcs again i havent really done anything like this before

[vernal path]

although, to be fair, an ai tool could also answer that question

[hearty mesa]

hey uhh how on earth do i hook a context

[vernal path]

look at a lovely dump of uhhh state events and you'll find where the contexts are called

i think, lmao, its been a second

[hearty mesa]

k uhh thx :3

[vernal path]

SMODS.calculate_context({full_hand = G.play.cards, scoring_hand = scoring_hand, scoring_name = text, poker_hands = poker_hands, final_scoring_step = true}) yes, state events
this is the function for final scoring step

[carmine chasm]

how would I make a config file for steammodded

[slim ferry]

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

read this

[carmine chasm]

ok

[hearty mesa]

oh i meant context.after but i found it anyways

[vernal path]

oh, yeah there you go

[hearty mesa]

for anyone wondering: it's line 850 of functions/state_events.lua

[vale grove]

now that i think about it is there a more recent tutorial on how to get started? im getting an error upon launching that i feel like is just an outdated issue

[vernal path]

whats the error

[red flower]

why

[vale grove]

Failed to collect file data for Atlas (prefix)_Jokers

[carmine chasm]

what's wrong with this ``` for _, j in pairs(jokers) do
if j.name == "Hanging Chad" then
print("Found Hanging Chad! Overriding ability...")

    j.ability = function(card, context)
       
        if context and context.joker_main then
            local playerJokers = G.jokers.cards
            
            for idx = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 do
                local target = playerJokers[idx]
                if target and target ~= card then
                    for i = 1, 3 do 
                        target:calculate_joker(context)
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end

    break
end

end

[hearty mesa]

tryna make a card undebuff itself

[red flower]

there's a global calculate now

[vernal path]

OH YOU'RE RIGHT I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

[hearty mesa]

whuh

[red flower]

try using SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)

[carmine chasm]

it said got 'do' expected 'near' so should I do for _, j in pairs(jokers) near

[slim ferry]

im pretty sure thats an issue with the file path for an atlas, what does your atlas definition look like (if you have one, otherwise it probably is actually old version)

[steady smelt]

what is context.individual? i feel dumb for not knowing this

[vernal path]

yeah, take a referesher course on lua

[red flower]

that's not what it says i can assure you

[slim ferry]

near just tells you something thats nearby

to the issue

[carmine chasm]

maybe I should

[red flower]

it runs once for every card played and in hand

[carmine chasm]

I read the handbook a bit

[slim ferry]

including at the end of round too

for the in hand cards

[vale grove]

oh nvm i got it

issue fixed itself lol

[steady smelt]

not fully processing what that means atm

[slim ferry]

its called for on-scoring effects on playing cards, held in hand effects and held in hand at the end of round effects

if that helps

[red flower]

it's called individual because it runs calculate for each individual card

[steady smelt]

hm ok

[robust marsh]

I don't think it's needed since i slotted my boss bar into the section where the total score should've been, the only issue is that the ui reverts back to normal when hopping into the menu and back in the blind

[steady smelt]

what do i need to check to change the effect of a joker when it's being copied by blueprint/brainstorm? or is there anything for that

i thought there was something but not seeing it

[slim ferry]

context.blueprint is true for when an effect is being copied by blueprint

so to prevent something from getting copied by blueprint you add and not context.blueprint to whatever check you already have

[steady smelt]

ty <3

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/VanillaRemade.lua also have a look at vanillaremade its like peak

thank you N for making vanillaremade

[chrome widget]

Hmmmmmmmm strange. I should have sent similar code for Blind:load() in the text file. Does it have something to do with the multi stage blind thing interfering?

[robust marsh]

not sure, it's very likely..

i can show you the code

[frosty rampart]

@lament agate i've gotten it to replace every joker's name with the name of another joker, in this case it always makes every joker have the name "Joker". obviously add an extra condition to that if statement if you want it to only happen sometimes
it'll be really complicated to do arbitrary text, so just add a fake joker to your localization with only a name, and it should do that name if you set args.key to the fake key in the localization (you shouldn't need to actually make a whole dummy joker for it, just the localization entry)

[carmine chasm]

it's saying [SMODS UnbalancedJokers "Main.lua"]:16: 'do' expected 'near'

[slim ferry]

the line definitely does not end with near

[vale grove]

when i hover over a joker i made i get "Attempt to index local 'center' [a nil value]" does anyone have a clue why?

[carmine chasm]

that's what it says

[steady smelt]

i rlly need to

[slim ferry]

show the code

[carmine chasm]

if not jokers then
    error("Couldn't find Joker pool")
end

for _, j in pairs(jokers) do
    if j.name == "Hanging Chad" then
        print("Found Hanging Chad! Overriding ability...")

        
        j.ability = function(card, context)
           
            if context and context.joker_main then
                local playerJokers = G.jokers.cards
                
                for idx = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 do
                    local target = playerJokers[idx]
                    if target and target ~= card then
                        for i = 1, 3 do 
                            target:calculate_joker(context)
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end

        break
    end
end

[red flower]

ah i ser

see

[vale grove]

loc_vars = function(self,info,queue,center)
return {vars = {center.abilty.extra.Xmult}}
end
}
this is the only thing using center so im assuming its this?

[red flower]

for idx = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is not valid lua

[slim ferry]

you should use take_ownership for changing a joker effect

[red flower]

it should be info_queue

[carmine chasm]

how

[chrome widget]

Additionally isn't G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker a list of keys and not tables?

[vernal path]

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

[slim ferry]

damn beat me to it

[robust marsh]

@chrome widget i fixed it

[chrome widget]

Oh!!!

That's amazing, great job

[robust marsh]

local ref_blind_load = Blind.load
function Blind:load(blindTable)
    local ret = ref_blind_load(self, blindTable)

    if self.config.blind.score_invisible and G.GAME.modifiers.hide_blind_score then
        set_blind_score_visible(false)
    end

    return ret
end

I removed the modifiers check

swag

[chrome widget]

Oh I wonder if that's bugged on my end too

[robust marsh]

it's possibly just a thing with how my blinds function

[chrome widget]

Basically it's just saying if the modifier for blind score was set on a previous save (since modifiers are also persisted separately), set the score visible to false again

If you happen to be doing anything else to modifiers it could interrupt it but idk

[vale grove]

now i have the same error but on ability this time

[willow scroll]

my brain is leaving me how would i combine two joker descriptions using these

[robust marsh]

i never changed the modifier, which is strange

[red flower]

you wrote abilty

[vale grove]

top 10 smart lol

[slim ferry]

just wait until you have to spell things wrong

consumeables 🥀

[robust marsh]

illiteracy update

[chrome widget]

we caino-maxxing

[unkempt thicket]

I want to trigger an additional effect on Jokers and playing cards when they would have trigger but are instead debuffed, i tried context.individual and context.post_trigger but those don't seem to count debuffed cards.

[robust marsh]

heirophant

[slim ferry]

selzer and gluttenous

[vale grove]

i dont even wanna think about that yet lol

i made my first joker thats a W for today

[slim ferry]

true!

[vale grove]

not really a mod issue but assuming someone here has used debug plus, how do you spawn in a joker with that mod?

[slim ferry]

hover over in collection, then press 3 to get it

[frosty rampart]

hold tab to see the magic debugplus cheat sheet, which explains that keybind + nearly everything else you can do with it outside of the console

[vale grove]

ah thx yall

[carmine chasm]

I tried taking ownership and change it but the hanging chad still won't change ```
local function deepCopy(orig, seen)
if type(orig) ~= "table" then return orig end
seen = seen or {}
if seen[orig] then return seen[orig] end
local copy = {}
seen[orig] = copy
for k, v in pairs(orig) do
copy[deepCopy(k, seen)] = deepCopy(v, seen)
end
return setmetatable(copy, getmetatable(orig))
end

local pools = G.P_CENTER_POOLS
local pool = pools and pools.Joker
if not pool then error("Couldn't find Joker pool") end

local function resolveEntry(e)

return e, nil

    local def = (G.Jokers and G.Jokers[e]) or (G.JOKERS and G.JOKERS[e]) or (G.P_CENTER_POOLS and G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Defs and G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Defs[e])
    return def, e

            end
        end

        print("Took ownership and replaced Hanging Chad at pool index:", k)
        break
    end
end```

[slim ferry]

you dont need allat

[carmine chasm]

why what do I need

[slim ferry]

its just

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership("hanging_chad", {
  --values to overwrite go in this table
  },
  false) --true if you want to remove your mod badge

[carmine chasm]

bruh

[chrome widget]

Keep in mind that the silent argument also does prevent the item from registering which mod the change came from as well (which has some niche uses to consider)

[crystal perch]

i want a sticker that shatters the card it's attached to after it scores, and i've tried a bunch of different permutations of calc funcs and they all either end up shattering it immediately and then still scoring it as normal, even though it's now gone, or shattering it immediately the next time i play it

this one just shatters it immediately:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.after then
            card:shatter()
        end

this one shatters it immediately the next time i play the card:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.after then
            card.ability.fragile_shatter = true
        end
        if context.destroy_card and context.cardarea == G.play and context.destroy_card == card and card.ability.fragile_shatter == true then
            card:shatter()
        end
    end

[lament agate]

siiiick, thanks alot

[crystal perch]

i basically want a sticker that makes a card act like a guaranteed glass (and also work when attached to jokers)

[carmine chasm]

I'm ass at modding I see because what's wrong ``` local jokers = G.P_CENTER_POOLS and G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker
if not jokers then
error("Couldn't find Joker pool")
end

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership("hanging_chad", {}, false)

for _, j in pairs(jokers) do
if j.name == "Hanging Chad" then
print("Found Hanging Chad! Overriding ability...")

    j.ability = function(card, context)
        if not (context and context.joker_main) then return end
        local playerJokers = G.jokers.cards

        for idx = 1, 2 do
            local target = playerJokers[idx]
            if target and target ~= card then
                for copyIndex = 1, 3 do
                    local clone = SMODS.deep_copy(target)
                    clone:calculate_joker(context)
                end
            end
        end
    end

    break
end

end

[crystal perch]

pro tip add "lua" after your ''' to make it format in lua

so like

'''lua
code goes here
'''

[carmine chasm]

like this lua code

[slim ferry]

like this

[crystal perch]

no like how i showed it

[crystal perch]

also what is this meant to do?

[carmine chasm]

makes hanging chad retrigger the first 2 cards played 3 times

[red flower]

ok then your code is nonsense im sorry lol

[frosty rampart]

you're still not taking ownership correctly

[red flower]

look at hanging chad in vanillaremade also

[carmine chasm]

someone told me that it's that

[frosty rampart]

no they didn't

[red flower]

you ignored the comment

[slim ferry]

the what

[frosty rampart]

you didn't, tomato ignored the comment in your message

[slim ferry]

oh

[carmine chasm]

so I should do lua SMODS.Joker:take_ownership("hanging_chad", {j.ability}, false)

[frosty rampart]

no

[carmine chasm]

what should I do then

[slim ferry]

it would be ability = whatever

and also a center doesnt have ability

the values in the center are in config

[red flower]

i would start by making a joker that does what you want to do first so you understand the structure

then you can change hanging chad

[carmine chasm]

ok

[crystal perch]

you can just straight up copy hanging chad's code from the vanilla remade wiki

[frosty rampart]

once you're ready to make it edit hanging chad, look at the example of taking ownership on the smods documentation

[crystal perch]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/34442a850d9ecbbac5d48b27507de99590908e27/src/jokers.lua#L3367

[crystal perch]

also bump for my predicament

[red flower]

just do what glass cards do

[crystal perch]

i did

[red flower]

then hook SMODS.shatters

[willow scroll]

could i use an entire joker description as a loc_var?

[slim ferry]

no

joker descriptions are tables and the vars in loc_vars get tostringed afaik

[red flower]

elaborate?

i think there's description_text in localize or something like that

[willow scroll]

i want to put in the joker descriptions of the jokers this card consists of

ignore the tables i was doing dumb stuff

[maiden phoenix]

It's just descriptions

[red flower]

no but that's for the ui nodes

i mean there's one for just the text
it's not what they need tho

[red flower]

you will probably need some generate_ui stuff for this
sdm literally did this so you can bother him :3

[maiden phoenix]

Aw hell nah I'm out of here

[willow scroll]

:(

dont tell me i need to hook stuff

oh i could probably just directly modify card.ability_UIBox_table

via a jank card:hover hook if its updated every hover or maybe even inside the card surely :clueless:

[red flower]

jokers have a generate_ui function

[willow scroll]

the consequences of not knowing the smods wiki by heart

[red flower]

this code adds extra descriptions based on the jokers that are "fused" but it's very custom
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/fefb0aa1195ee596fb978629929e40c7023ba4a9/src/card_ui.lua#L296

also i dont use the generate_ui function anymore haha but because im trying to support crossmod

[willow scroll]

does generate_ui break crossmod?

[red flower]

but that function has the exact structure generate_ui would have

[willow scroll]

oh mb i just clicked the link i see

[red flower]

no, it's just that autumn adds yugioh properties to other cards and it required replacing the generate_ui

so i made it a patch instead

or hook i dont remember

but if it's just one card i would recommend generate_ui

[maiden phoenix]

You could cheese it. Make it like "Has the effect of X and Y" where X and Y are loc_vars of the name of the jokers, then reference those jokers as an info_queue

I don't know how specifically your joker work tho so maybe it's not what you want

[crystal perch]

genuinely where in the code does SMODS define that glass cards should shatter i can't find it

[maiden phoenix]

src/utils.lua, look for SMODS.shatters(card)

[willow scroll]

i think i could do it decently cleanly if i could extract loc vars from an existing joker card

[frosty rampart]

are you making an enhancement?

[crystal perch]

no i'm making a sticker that is supposed to shatter after scoring

i hooked SMODS.shatters() successfully tho so it works now

[frosty rampart]

ok glad it works

[willow scroll]

does this give me the description node

[crystal perch]

yknow hooks are way simpler than i originally thought

[maiden phoenix]

I found the lovely patch I used, but this requires your joker's desc to initially be a multibox one

# Add fusion ability to multibox
[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/UI_definitions.lua"
pattern = "if AUT.info then"
position = "before"
payload = """
if card and card.ability and card.ability.srl_fusion then
    local _card = {ability = card.ability.srl_fusion.ability, config = card.ability.srl_fusion.config, bypass_lock = true}
    local fusion_ui = Card.generate_UIBox_ability_table(_card)
    multi_boxes[#multi_boxes+1] = desc_from_rows(fusion_ui.main)
end
"""
match_indent = true

(Don't forget to replace mod specific variable names 😅)

[willow scroll]

thank you!

ill use this as soon as i realize my method is unfeasible

[crystal perch]

oh also super old bump i still need help with

[willow scroll]

ok im doing dumb stuff

[maiden phoenix]

Wild guess but try replacing G.FUNCS.use_card { config = { ref_table = booster } } by booster:open() bellow the start_meterialize line

[crystal perch]

still breaks, here's the log :/

[maiden phoenix]

What happens if you remove CHAK_UTIL.open_booster_pack(card.ability.extra.booster)? Can you send a screenshot?

[willow scroll]

almost lmao

[maiden phoenix]

What if your desc is an empty multibox?

[willow scroll]

my desc is not an empty multi box which is why im fixing that rn lol

i could do it a bit more jank way thats easier but i want to do it a bit better, how do i force an empty multi_box with a description

[maiden phoenix]

That's what my lovely patch does, it adds onto the existing multibox

[willow scroll]

yes, and i was wondering if i could initialize an empty multibox inside a localization file

would you perhaps know

[maiden phoenix]

Something like this?

j_your_joker = {
    name = "Your Joker",
    text = {{}}
},

[crystal perch]

anyone know why this joker is crashing? the odd thing is that it did work but something broke it and i have no clue why

config = {
        extra = {
            copying = nil,
        },
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local copying = card.ability.extra.copying
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative
        info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'chak_ethereal', set = 'Other'}
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.copying
        return { vars = { copying and G.localization.descriptions.Joker[copying].name or "None" } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.joker_type_destroyed and context.cardarea == G.jokers and not context.blueprint then
            card.ability.extra.copying = context.card.config.center_key
            sendDebugMessage("copying:" .. context.card.config.center_key, "CHAK")
        end
        if context.ending_shop and card.ability.extra.copying ~= nil then
            if card.ability.extra.copying.config.center.rarity == "chak_Token" then
                local copied_joker = SMODS.add_card {
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = card.ability.extra.copying
                }
                copied_joker:add_sticker('chak_ethereal', true)
            else
                local copied_joker = SMODS.add_card {
                    area = G.jokers,
                    key = card.ability.extra.copying
                }
                copied_joker:set_edition({negative = true})
                copied_joker:add_sticker('chak_ethereal', true)
            end
            return {
                message = "Copied!",
                colour = G.C.CHAK_ETHEREAL,
            }
        end
    end

this is the effect btw

'Upon exiting the shop, create',
'a {C:dark_edition}Negative{}, {C:chak_sticker_ethereal}Ethereal{} copy',
"of the last destroyed {C:attention}Joker",
"{C:inactive}(Currently: {C:attention}#1#{C:inactive})"

[red flower]

please don't save a card to the ability table

[maiden phoenix]

☝️

[red flower]

oh wait

you're saving the key but you later try to access it as if it was a card

or am i misreading

[slim ferry]

it would be G.P_CENTERS[copying], not G.P_CENTERS.copying

also copying is a string so like idk why youre trying to get copying.config

thats not gonna work

[willow scroll]

ah i see multi boxes is actually added after main

[crystal perch]

saving the key yeah

[crystal perch]

then how would i get the rarity of the copied joker from the key string

[slim ferry]

G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.extra.copying].rarity

[crystal perch]

that worked thank you

[feral tree]

whats the code for removing a booster pack from a shop?

[willow scroll]

hooray i did it

[maiden phoenix]

Neat

N how come you can react to people? The option doesn't show for me

[willow scroll]

to be fair i still need to do stuff as im doing evil chicanery that is probably incorrect because im directly storing the jokers in ability.extra lmfao

[willow scroll]

ive heard you need a role

[red flower]

i have the Steam role

[maiden phoenix]

I'm pretty sure saving jokers in card.ability will delete itself if you load the run because of recursion

[maiden phoenix]

Ah ok thanks

[willow scroll]

this is true

just noticed

[maiden phoenix]

You should look at Pinkprint from Ortalab since it's somewhat similar to what you're doing. I'm doing the same thing too but mine's unfinished and the code isn't public iirc.

[willow scroll]

noted, thank you

[feral tree]

how do i remove a booster pack from the shop? G.shop_booster.cards[1]:remove() doesnt work

[willow scroll]

ok wait i may be dumb i see there is a fake_card thing but how do i utilize it

[crystal perch]

to my knowledge fake_card is for ui stuff, like showing the seals in the seals collection tab

[willow scroll]

oh wait that

fair enough

[pseudo furnace]

How would you detect something like containing a pair but not a pair? The specific hand gets me

[maiden phoenix]

When are you calling the remove?

Pressing "R" using debugplus on packs in shop does remove them, and it uses :remove()

[red flower]

if context.before and next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) and context.scoring_name ~= "Pair" then for example

[pseudo furnace]

So just to clarify, the next() detection finds all hands that contain it?

[wintry solar]

The poker hands table contains every possible poker hand, using next sees if the pair section has anything in

[pseudo furnace]

Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation!

[crystal perch]

i know it's bad practice to store cards as joker abilities, so how would i store a playing card with all its modifiers (edition, seal, enhancement, other modded stuff, etc) to be able to create an exact copy of it later as a joker effect

[slim ferry]

its not bad practice, its just impossible without an entirely unique saving system

objects cannot be saved

[red flower]

i personally would create a copy of the card in a hidden cardarea

but i dont want to explain it so dont do that :3

[crystal perch]

💀

surely it can't be THAT hard......

[red flower]

once you understand cardareas they're very easy

i have a bunch for different things lol

[willow scroll]

so i could do that instead of hooking card:save for my joker right

which is a combination of two other jokers

[crystal perch]

so, in a nutshell,
make a new card area somewhere hidden
copy the card to it
then, when i want it, make a copy of that card

[red flower]

probably the easiest
but i wouldn't have done anything with saving anyway, i would just have saved the key of the card and the values in ability if that's relevant

[slim ferry]

if you just want to store a reference of a card you can just store its sort order since thats unique per card, otherwise just save all the important information to a table in the joker

[red flower]

you can just move that card, you don't need to make another copy

[willow scroll]

i should probably just do that :clueless:

[crystal perch]

i want to be able to make multiple copies of it

[red flower]

then yes

[stiff locust]

bump

[crystal perch]

time to learn card areas it seems

[willow scroll]

actually, how would i make sure that if card.ability values change i could capture that to save that in my joker?

[slim ferry]

at that point youre probably better off saving a reference to the card

i imagine

sort order is very useful for that

[willow scroll]

i should not be doing this at 1 am but current setup is this, (joker cards gets passed along by a consumable since this joker only gets created from a consumeable)

[slim ferry]

oh

its like

2 jokers merged

i see

[willow scroll]

this all works except that joker1 and 2 doesnt save and i really just want the easiest way to do that

[red flower]

an smods function to run calculation on a non existent joker would be cool

[willow scroll]

because idk how card save works yet and i dont know how custom card areas work yet

[red flower]

SMODS.pinkprint_effect

[slim ferry]

its like some king of

idk

[willow scroll]

surely you could do some very dumb function that creates a card, runs the calculation and then destroys it

(probably not)

[maiden phoenix]

lmao

This will require more work from the self references tho

[red flower]

yeah the problem is that some things want the original card and some things want the card that is scoring, in a normal calculate call those are the same but here it would be two different cards

[willow scroll]

i think ill save actually saving the cards for later because i am reading pinkprint and im not comprehending

i also have the problem of the jokers just floating there that ive conveniently been ignoring

[red flower]

you can fix both by doing the cardarea thing

[willow scroll]

noted

ill look into cardareas tomorrow

[maiden phoenix]

Smh cardarea propaganda

[willow scroll]

unless i could literally just make a new cardarea with minimal info and it suddenly exists

[red flower]

the biggest problem is effects that depend on the card being in G.jokers

[red flower]

yeah that's how you make one lol

[willow scroll]

yeah ive read the code partially, tangiably aware how that works i just dont know what "minimal info" is

[red flower]

#💻・modding-dev message

[slim ferry]

the pointless joker_main cardarea checks 😨

[willow scroll]

oh my goodness thats surprisingly easy

[vale grove]

one thimg im curios about when it comes to making multiple jokers

How do i make multiple jokers with different pngs?

[maiden phoenix]

Atlas is usually a spritesheet, and each joker sprite is referenced by their pos values

[vale grove]

ohh i get you

so if i add an image in the folder second and give the pos value x=1 y=1 then it takes the second image?

[red flower]

where

[vale grove]

you can see the msg im replying to haha

[red flower]

yeah i know but it's funny lol

[slim ferry]

the pos value is for the location of a sprite inside of the image file

[vale grove]

so what im saying is correct? right?

[slim ferry]

i think so

its a bit of a confusing sentence

[vale grove]

but every file needs to have the same name right?

[slim ferry]

no

you cant have multiple files with the same name

[vale grove]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[maiden phoenix]

[slim ferry]

you just put multiple sprites in one image

[vale grove]

wait what 😭

do i have one png with multiple sprites?

[slim ferry]

generally yeah

[maiden phoenix]

Yes

[slim ferry]

and then the pos value is for selecting the correct sprite from the image

[vale grove]

another thingy i have, currently i have one joker in SMODS.Joker{
}
so i make an additional one in the first SMODS.Joker{
}
or do i need to make another joker do i make SMODS.Joker2{
}

[slim ferry]

just do SMODS.Joker again

[frosty rampart]

the second joker is just an entirely separate SMODS.Joker { }

[vale grove]

okay got it

thx

okay so the second joker im trying to make is invinsible.
could it be that i have to work vertically instead of horizontally in the png

[maiden phoenix]

Can you show your spritesheet and the pos of your second joker?

[vale grove]

this is currently the sprite sheet that im using

and these are the pos of joker 1 and 2

ignore the Xmult

im getting to that lol

[slim ferry]

should be x=1,y=0

[vale grove]

OH

as in

yeah i get it

also what is this yin and yang lol

[distant junco]

other way around

[maiden phoenix]

Wow I'm tired

[vale grove]

one only tells the truth and one always lies ahh

[slim ferry]

x is position from the left starting at 0, y is position from the top starting at 0

[vale grove]

yeah yeah i get it

axis thingies

[slim ferry]

also MANGO!

[vale grove]

thx

[distant junco]

do you have 6 or 7 jokers

[vale grove]

im making it for my friends and they really want a mango that gives 6 chips and 7 mult

[slim ferry]

😭

cinema

[distant junco]

absolute mustard

[slim ferry]

AHHHH

[vale grove]

ikr

also the first one is my friend but i didnt want to leak his face publically lol

okay wait new issue

[distant junco]

hello modding dev i have a joker that i want to make enhanced cards, but at the minute its only sometimes making enhanced cards. what can i do??

[vale grove]

why is it 2 pixels wide lol

could it be that i renderd the first image wrong?

[maiden phoenix]

Show the calculate func

[distant junco]

possibly, also did you setup the atlas correctly?

[slim ferry]

do you have a pixel_size on your joker? you should just remove that if its a normal sized sprite

[vale grove]

i hope so?

[vale grove]

i dont have a pixel size

[slim ferry]

hmmm

what does the joker definition look like

[vale grove]

this is my atlas btw if its releveant

[willow scroll]

IT WORKS RAAAH

[distant junco]

if chrank == 1 or chrank == 2 then
                local king = SMODS.create_card { set = "Playing Card", rank = "King", area = G.discard }
                G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
                king.playing_card = G.playing_card
                table.insert(G.playing_cards, king)

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        king:start_materialize({ G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Enhanced })
                        G.play:emplace(king)
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                return {
                    message = 'Its a boy!',
                    func = function()
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function()
                                G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
                                return true
                            end
                        }))
                        draw_card(G.play, G.deck, 90, 'up')
                        SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { king } })
                    end
                }
            end

[willow scroll]

ahem thank you very much

[vale grove]

is this what ur looking for?

[slim ferry]

yeah

hmmmmmmmmmm

[vale grove]

oh just realized another issue

mult not in capital

[slim ferry]

also interesting joker key scheme lol

i guess it doesnt really matter with loc_txt though

[vale grove]

its from the tutorial im following haha

[maiden phoenix]

No context checks?

[vale grove]

first time lua worker

[maiden phoenix]

What's chrank?

[distant junco]

yeah but its a bigger function so i didnt include the whole thing

[maiden phoenix]

ah

[slim ferry]

why is it M:mult 😭

the C is for colour

not for Chips

[vale grove]

gulp

i just assumed that lol

[willow scroll]

10 trillion n' mentions in the credits.txt (im not biased wdym)

[distant junco]

chrank is for deciding if its like a king its not really relevant lol

[gilded goblet]

1 quintillion n' mentions when

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Text-Styling have a look at this handy text styling page

[willow scroll]

after 5 more dumb questions from me

[maiden phoenix]

1 SDM_0 vs 1 billion N'

[gilded goblet]

n' single handedly carrying the balatro modding community /j

[maiden phoenix]

Why the /j when it's true

[vale grove]

okay thats fixed

now

[gilded goblet]

actually commendable effort by everyone i love yall

[slim ferry]

i just realized this page still has oldprob... stinky....

[vale grove]

why is my mango 3/2 pixels of another joker lol

[gilded goblet]

mango?... those who know...

[vale grove]

yes correct

it gives 6 chips and 7 mult

[distant junco]

[slim ferry]

try enabling grid in whatever art program youre using (if it has one)

and set it to 71 by 95

[vale grove]

just the usual paint.net

[vale grove]

i think i have that?

[slim ferry]

it shouldnt like

show in another sprite then

[vale grove]

wdym?

[gilded goblet]

why

[distant junco]

mick dicks cocked up

[slim ferry]

like your joker is 2 pixels from a different sprite instead of the mango

[willow scroll]

this is just true :clueless:

[vale grove]

yes

[vale grove]

6/7 meme

[willow scroll]

okay one more thing my brain is collapsing and the documentation aint entering how do i remove a card from existence again

[distant junco]

you think thats bad?

[slim ferry]

did you remember to save the image

[vale grove]

holy peak

[slim ferry]

just to be sure

[willow scroll]

card:remove?

[vale grove]

omg youre so incredibly right

[distant junco]

card:remove() yeah

[vale grove]

i have 2 folders one in my documents the other in mods

[slim ferry]

😭

[vale grove]

i keep the one in documents to make changes to make sure i dont accidently screw up

[gilded goblet]

MUSTAARRRDDD

[slim ferry]

lol

[vale grove]

and i have paint.net auto save in the one in my documents

my own genius sometimes frightens me

[slim ferry]

though the two pixels showing tells me that the first joker sprite is 2 pixels wider than it should be

[distant junco]

so like... was that it?

[distant junco]

holy reference

[vale grove]

the stand is 71/95 tho right?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[vale grove]

huh

now it does work

[slim ferry]

oh

lmao

[vale grove]

but still has like

1 pixel from the left joker

[distant junco]

yeah you need a one pixel gap

[vale grove]

i geuss that sjust paint blending

[slim ferry]

you dont need a gap

[distant junco]

oh

[slim ferry]

thats just common practice for cards

since they look more like cards then

[distant junco]

ohh i see

[maiden phoenix]

Well it will be kinda hard without the full code, but rn I'm too tired, hopefully someone will figure it out for you

[vale grove]

ill get to that eventually lol

first i want to get to around 20/40 functioning jokers

then ill do all the advanced styling

[distant junco]

well that was everything relating to creating the card

but fair enough on tiredness

[slim ferry]

mango!!!!!!

[vale grove]

okay so one more on the mango

i currently have this (nvm was just a lower case thingy fixed)

but when i run the mod it says "main.lua"}:51 '}' excpted [to close '{' at line 49] near Mult'

mult = 7 is line 51 btw

[tender ermine]

How do I make an enhancement apply an enhancement to another card

[solemn shuttle]

say what function is the end of round effects tied too

like if i wanted to hook it to add a consistent end of round effect regardless, not just based around a joker or card

[frosty rampart]

just use the new global mod calculate function
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/discussions/919

no need to even hook anything, it's a calculate function that will always run regardless of what cards you have in any given game state

[solemn shuttle]

ooooh 👀
-# i gotta update my smods anyway so this is a good excuse LMAO

[solemn shuttle]

i have a joker with this exact same effect and theming 😭
-# based off a friend of mine

no special Mustard card but

[willow scroll]

clip

i need to fix up the merge logic a bit

so it actually looks nice

but otherwise functional hooray

[true jasper]

peak

[solemn shuttle]

woah this is gas

ok anyway ty lmao

[willow scroll]

i was thinking (if possible) to make the texture half one joker half the other one

but im not good at advanced texture manipulation so uhh

[true jasper]

that would be cool but would definitely be quite complicated to implement

[willow scroll]

well this joker effect took me like help from 3 people + 5 hours so uhh

[solemn shuttle]

if i had to guess it would probably involve some shader nonsense

[willow scroll]

surely cant be that bad :clueless:

[solemn shuttle]

im no expert in the slightest in regards to shaders but

[willow scroll]

nvm its so fucking over

[solemn shuttle]

thats my thought

😭

i wouldnt know

[solemn shuttle]

damn im reading this more this is really gas

i have ideas

[frosty rampart]

yea this update is really cooking

[solemn shuttle]

custom jimbo quips

[frosty rampart]

i've got a mod taking advantage of the new scoring calculation stuff on the backburner, lemme pull up the funny video that's already getting old real quick

very balanced

[true jasper]

oblivion did it first

[frosty rampart]

yea but looking at the code they're doing it kinda jank (not a knock on them ofc, but still)

[crystal perch]

very nice ui

so i've made a new cardarea and cards properly get sent and retrieved from it, but whenever i exit a run i get this crash

i assume it has something to do with it trying to calculate or save and tripping up along the way

[solemn shuttle]

wait am i stupid cuz now whenever i play a hand This happens

[crystal perch]

this is the code

# Attempt to add new card area
[[patches]]  #   CHAK

    SMODS.enh_cache:clear()
'''

[solemn shuttle]

rest of game seems to work ok lol

[red flower]

yeah idk why this is lol
my solution was to patch smods

[crystal perch]

patch where

[wild escarp]

Now that challenges are getting some love, with apply and calculate functions, how would I go about making a challenge start with one random card in deck?

[red flower]

it doesn't happen to me anymore without the patch tho so idk

[crystal perch]

did they maybe fix it in an update? i'm not on latest

[red flower]

there's a loop in get_card_areas that checks for area.cards
for some reason areas get their cards set to nil before they're destroyed

[red flower]

nah this stopped happening to me long ago

[crystal perch]

weird

[red flower]

i think i moved where i define my area or something

no idea

[red flower]

you could remove all other cards with apply but challenges have a config option for the deck

ah but that wouldn't work if it's random so yeah apply

[solemn shuttle]

For context i just updated my lovely to 0.8.0 and smods to 0827c

[red flower]

do you have any other mods

[solemn shuttle]

i was about to check without other mods yeah hangon

[red flower]

just one line of the crash log doesn't help btw

[solemn shuttle]

[crystal perch]

do you make your cardareas through hooks or patches, also how would i fix the loop via a patch

[red flower]

i hook start_run

[crystal perch]

i'll look into that then

[red flower]

you would patch this to say area.cards or {}
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/cb8c8746b8e5bcb5ba21bea26aa7311ec1c29ec6/src/utils.lua#L1649

[solemn shuttle]

ok wait i think it might be talisman cuz i removed that and it behaves now

-# you see i have not updated my other Mods in a while 😭

yeah i see the porblem nvm

yup that was it ok LOL

[crystal perch]

so for _, _card in ipairs(area.cards or {}) do?

[red flower]

yeah

[crystal perch]

still crashed

[brave onyx]

Hello, I have a question. How do I make a pool have custom music? the pool is called “tyler”

    key = "tyler_music", 
    path = "tyler_music.ogg",
    pitch = 0.7,
    sync = true,
    select_music_track = function()
        return (G.pack_cards and G.pack_cards.cards and G.pack_cards.cards[1] and 
                G.pack_cards.cards[1].ability.set == "generic") and 10 or false
    end
})```

[crystal perch]

here's the new crash

[red flower]

wait a second

that's a jokerdisplay crash

update your mods

[crystal perch]

the classic blunder...............

[red flower]

the pool on a card would be in (G.pack_cards.cards[1].pools or {}).generic

unless you mean consumable type

[wary minnow]

Hi

im new to this server

i came here to ask for help for a balatro mod im making

(mostly the coding part)

[red flower]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[brave onyx]

like this?

    key = "tyler_music", 
    path = "hell_music.ogg",
    pitch = 0.7,
    sync = true,
    select_music_track = function()
        return (G.pack_cards and G.pack_cards.cards and G.pack_cards.cards[1] and 
                (G.pack_cards.cards[1].pools or {}).tyler) and 10 or false
    end
})```

[wary minnow]

ok

[brave onyx]

The booster pack is for jokers

[red flower]

yeah although it would probably be better to check the booster pack instead

but try that out

[brave onyx]

does not work

[brave onyx]

I just tried putting the mod prefix before “tyler” and the music still doesn't play

[solemn shuttle]

the key i believe needs to start with music_

[jolly shadow]

yeah ^

[solemn shuttle]

ie music_tyler

also uh

is there a variable in game tha that lets you track you current run's round

like G.GAME.round_resets.ante but

Round

[brave onyx]

I usually use the name first and then _music, and it works for me

[solemn shuttle]

well hangon what's happening rn then

[faint yacht]

G.GAME.round

[loud summit]

how do you set a playing card to a specific rank

[frosty rampart]

read the documentation
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility

[loud summit]

oj thx i was only looking in vanilla remade

hey so my game completely closes outright when i try to spawn my joker

like theres no crash log and nothing notable in the lovely log

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local trigger = context.force_trigger

        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
                if playing_card:get_id() == 14 then
                    trigger = true
                end
            end
        end

        local ace_hand = {}
        for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.deck.cards) do
            if playing_card:get_id() ~= 14 then ace_hand[#ace_hand + 1] = playing_card end
        end

        if not trigger or (#ace_hand < 1) then return end

        local c = psudorandom_element(ace_hand, "nflame_acpart")
        SMODS.change_base(c, nil, 14)
    end```

does anything stand out here

also how do i get the whole hand played instead of just the scoring hand

[frosty rampart]

assuming you mean to interact with cryptid demicolon stuff, i'm pretty sure it's context.forcetrigger without the underscore. but that doesn't seem like it'd cause a crash
you do have a typo in psudorandom_element (it should be pseudorandom_element), but i dunno if that'd be hard-crash-worthy either
that said, the loop through the deck and change_base call is happening outside of any context checks, so that's probably the main issue

[loud summit]

well

it shouldnt trigger

because of the early return in if not trigger or (#ace_hand < 1)

[glass scaffold]

Alright, tried to use Crustulum's approach (and some other things), but still getting nowhere. It needs to stay at $1 for good, but it keeps showing higher values before getting changed.

HOLY SHIT ABSOLUTE SAVIOR

THANK YOU

Now how exactly do I check if a certain voucher is redeemed (modded voucher)?

[loud summit]

any idea HOW this can be nil??

        local c = ace_hand[pseudorandom_element(ace_hand, "nflame_acpart")]```

because its apparently nil

[fathom star]

Hey does anyone know if multiplayer balatro was fixed?

[red flower]

wdym fixed?

[red flower]

pseudorandom_element returns the element as the first return, not the index (that's the second)

[fathom star]

Well I heard that multiplayer got bugged with balatros newer update and yo couldn’t play modded multiplayer anymore

[red flower]

that isn't true

[loud summit]

oh oops its not clear

[fathom star]

Gotcha

[red flower]

just do local c = pseudorandom_element(...)

[loud summit]

yea i mean pseudorandom_element doesnt say if its element or index in vanillaremade

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.used_vouchers.v_modprefix_key

[green mica]

Anyone know where in the code the game decides to finish the round and start a new one, like after you beat the boss blind? I've looked around quite a bit but I'm a bit lost.

I made a code that replaces the small and big blinds with blinds from a pool, but since the blinds I put there are still registered as a "boss blind" it still ends the round afterward.

[frosty rampart]

you mean ante, right?

[round lion]

how the hell are yall even setting up vs code for this

[red flower]

it literally does?

[loud summit]

oh

[frosty rampart]

check the vanillaremade wiki

[green mica]

Yeah yeah

[glass scaffold]

Thanks fam, now it's fully working.

[red flower]

it's in end_round() in functions/state_events

[frosty rampart]

ortalab uses small = {min = 1} instead of boss = {...} in the blind object definitions for their small/big blind variants, but i still need to dig through to see if they have any other special code to handle that or if smods can handle it by default

[red flower]

they do

eremel talked about porting it but it hasn't happened yet

[frosty rampart]

ah dang

[green mica]

Ohhh very helpful thank you

I think I should be able to hook in here

[frosty rampart]

time to. go make a pull request maybe :3

[round lion]

i do not think vanilla remade say anything about the entire bottom field being marked with "the field must be defined after the class"

like actually why is everything piss flavored on the workspace

[red flower]

what

also having a workspace with a bunch of warnings is normal in programming

[green mica]

Oh wait I have a wayyy better way to do this, I can just hook into Blind:get_type() instead

I didn't see that there lol

[vapid flume]

How do I make enhancements/seals not appear in boosters? I thought the weight would do it but it just keeps showing up.

[loud summit]

how do you know what that tastes like

/j

[loud summit]

have you checked you dont have illusion?

[vapid flume]

entirely brand new run, spawning in booster packs, theyre appearing despite me trying both weight 0 and weight -9999

[loud summit]

weird

[vapid flume]

am i doign something wrong here

[faint yacht]

...iirc the in_pool function has the args variable that can contain the "source" of where the check occurs.

[vapid flume]

i kept seeing that but couldnt find anything on how to use it T_T will see what i can do i suppose

[faint yacht]

args.source, specifically. Just need to print until you find what variable you need exactly.

[frosty rampart]

good chance you want to do this

in_pool = function(self, args)
  return args.source ~= 'sta'
end

(args.source usually seems to be the first three letters of the source, e.g. 'sho' for shop or 'buf' for buffoon pack. i'm not sure if 'sta' is correct but that's short for standard pack so it's worth a shot)

[twilit tundra]

thinking of actually getting back into working on my mod tomorrow

question: uh

how the heck do i implement this
how do i check for what hand types are currently visibly above and below a specific hand type (buffing secret hands you cant even play with your current deck would definitely be. un-ideal.)

like.
in the run info menu

alternatively could try and get this one to actually work properly instead of just being a visual thing

how the hell do you change what hand type a hand is

[twilit tundra]

also, itd be nice if i had a way to like.
somehow highlight applicable cards so you dont have to frantically keep track of every single card you’ve ever played

but only while owning the joker

[hybrid shadow]

2 connected questions

1. can i have a custom joker pool in SMODS.add_card's set param and 2) does that joker pool need the modprefix

[glass scaffold]

Ok, so my custom voucher works, but every redeem causes it to spawn a random Joker that can't be bought. It's just there.

Anyone know a fix?

(the code is a patched part of a function used by Illusion)

[wary minnow]

someone that have experience programing balatro mods could help me make one?, i have 0 experience programing in Lua but i have a ton of ideas and like 10 designed jokers.

Let me grab the new calc notes, hold on

[true jasper]

How would I make an info queue that shows the interest cap

[maiden phoenix]

Have a localization entry under "Other" for the interest cap with a #1# then, in whatever you want your tooltip, you do info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'your_localization_key_for_interest', set = 'Other', vars = {G.GAME.interest_cap or 25}}

I don't know if the extra is necessary or not

Ok nvm it's not config with 'Other' it's 'vars' my bad

no just a mod in general

im focusing on making jokers first

Even just from this image I can share you some improvement: amysdeck = amysdeck or {}This single line is equivalent to those three lines you wrote.

[crystal swift]

i had two lists on two different computers so its kind of hard to tell you what i want to add first
ill probably add just a regular example joker then work my way up from there

[carmine chasm]

why does the game crash when I start it? this is the only code I have ```lua
SMODS.Atlas{
key = "Jokers",
path = "Jokers.png",
px = 71,
py = 95
}

SMODS.Joker{
key = "joker2",
loc_txt = {
name = "ahmed",
text = {
'gives',
'a {C:attention}Joker{}',
'{X:mult,C:white}x#1#{} Mult'
}
}
}

[glass scaffold]

Your Joker needs:

the Atlas in your Joker
the pos variables
a calculate function.

[carmine chasm]

I'm watching a tutorial and there it ran just fine just not functioning

because there is no function yet

[glass scaffold]

Link the video?

[daring fern]

Jokers need none of those.

[glass scaffold]

Also, what error do you get when opening?

[carmine chasm]

nvm I fixed it

wrong png name

[glass scaffold]

nvm. apparently I overdo it.

[carmine chasm]

it was Joker.png instead of Jokers.png

what could I do instead of math.random(1,3)?

[pastel kernel]

What is the context for “if played hand is most played poker hand”

You can use this from 0711a to let it be influenced.

                    table.insert(recipe_consumables, c.key)
                end

[maiden phoenix]

.

[robust marsh]

ty

[daring fern]

There is no context for that.

[glass scaffold]

This isn't guaranteeing an edition or enhancement on all playing cards in shop. What am I doing wrong?

[carmine chasm]

why won't it add 100Xmult lua atlas = 'Joker', pos = {x = 0, y = 0}, config = { extra = { Xmult = 100 } }, loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center) return {vars = {center.ability.extra.Xmult}} end, calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.Joker_main then return { card = card, Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult, message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult, colour = G.C.MULT } end

[glass scaffold]

Change Xmult_mod to Xmult. I think.

[carmine chasm]

ok

[carmine chasm]

still won't add Xmult

[maiden phoenix]

It's context.joker_main, it's case-sensitive

[glass scaffold]

Good catch.

[maiden phoenix]

Also you dont need message and colour

[glass scaffold]

This is how my Joker does x_mult.

Just ignore all the stuff about x_mult_gain

[carmine chasm]

it works thanks

[carmine chasm]

Ima read this for learning purposes

[glass scaffold]

You can sift through my mod code if it'll help.

[carmine chasm]

[carmine chasm]

what is it supposed to do

the voucher?

I see

[maiden phoenix]

Does your code make it trough the "if"?

[glass scaffold]

Fair warning: This deals with hooking to already existing code in vanilla Balatro. This is even out of my skillset.

[glass scaffold]

I'm assuming it does since I don't see why not.

[maiden phoenix]

This doesn't match your voucher's key

Should be v_WCCO_hallucination

[glass scaffold]

Oh my god, I am actually blind. Thank you for pointing that out.

-# Now to go hook the things for Retcon to make it 50% cost... aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

[carmine chasm]

I read this and don't know how to add it to my code Lua atlas = 'Joker', pos = {x = 0, y = 0}, config = { extra = { Xmult = 100 } }, loc_vars = function(self,info_queue,center) return {vars = {center.ability.extra.Xmult}} end, calculate = function(self,card,context) if context.joker_main then return { card = card, Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult, message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult, colour = G.C.MULT } end

[glass scaffold]

Xmult_mod needs to be Xmult.

[carmine chasm]

it also works like Xmult_mod

[maiden phoenix]

Does your joker have a key value?

[glass scaffold]

nevermind, misread.

[carmine chasm]

yes

I think

[maiden phoenix]

like key = 'my_joker'

[carmine chasm]

yes

it has that

key = 'Joker'

[maiden phoenix]

What if you just return this?

return {
  x_mult = card.abilty.extra.Xmult
}

[carmine chasm]

it's already returned return { card = card, Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult, message = 'X' .. card.ability.extra.Xmult, colour = G.C.MULT }

[maiden phoenix]

Yea no but I mean what if you remove the extra stuff and just do x_mult

[hearty mesa]

your key has to be unique, "joker" already exists and as a result bugs out

[carmine chasm]

that's why it's capitalized 😭

[true jasper]

it won't do that unless you have mod prefix disabled in your mod

[maiden phoenix]

The modprefix gets added onto it, I don't think that's the issue?

[hearty mesa]

pretend i never existed okay byeee

[carmine chasm]

it would work but the rest is there to add a message like "again" from mime

[maiden phoenix]

The message gets added automatically if you use default field names

[carmine chasm]

like?

[maiden phoenix]

mult, chips, dollars etc..

[carmine chasm]

true, but That's not what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to make the Xmult a math.random(1,3)

[frosty dock]

you can just do x_mult and smods does the rest for you

there's no need to add the other stuff yourself

[carmine chasm]

ok but let's get to the point please

[frosty dock]

what point

[maiden phoenix]

If you want to do random x_mult, check how Misprint does it for mult: https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/34442a850d9ecbbac5d48b27507de99590908e27/src/jokers.lua#L633

[frosty dock]

Just return { x_mult = <whatever xmult you want to apply> }

there's nothing else to it

[carmine chasm]

I want to make it random so it changes like misprint

but then with Xmult instead of Mult

[frosty dock]

return { x_mult = pseudorandom('my_xmult_misprint', min, max) } then

[carmine chasm]

ok

[carmine chasm]

how would I make this repeatedly update SMODS.Joker{ key = "joker2", loc_txt = { name = "ahmed", text = { 'gives', 'a {C:attention}Joker{}', '{X:mult,C:white}x#1#{} Mult' } },

[true jasper]

Look how vanilla remade does it with misprint

[prisma loom]

Can someone check if all good here, please? I'm very amateur at coding so I can't really tell

Tried making a simple effect but still struggling

[daring fern]

Log?

[daring fern]

It's #G.play.cards not #G.play

[slim ferry]

the probability and context check should be swapped

[prisma loom]

Hi H'!

[slim ferry]

hello

[prisma loom]

👌

[carmine chasm]

attempt to call a method 'gmatch' [a nil value]

[carmine chasm]

that's the log

[pastel kernel]

what's gmatch

[carmine chasm]

don't know

[slim ferry]

send the entire crash log

not just

the error

[carmine chasm]

ok

[hearty mesa]

trying to make a joker debuff itself for 1 hand, it debuffs itself (and sets card.ability.extra.debuff_from_borrowed_time to true when it does) but doesn't undebuff after

function SMODS.current_mod.calculate(self, context)
    if context.after and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
        local card_t = SMODS.find_card("j_lcb_t_corp_rodya", true)
        if card_t then
            for i, v in ipairs(card_t) do
                if v and v.ability and v.ability.extra and v.ability.extra.debuff_from_borrowed_time then
                    v.ability.extra.debuff_from_borrowed_time = false
                    v:set_debuff(false)
                end
            end
        end
    end
end

[pastel kernel]

oh

[floral marsh]

hum heya how can I prevent a consumable's design from stretching to fit a normal card's size (I want it to be 21 by 21)

[pastel kernel]

Hmm

[maiden phoenix]

Either change your atlas to be 21x21, but it's the only small consumable, try adding a display_size

[floral marsh]

welp

ima attempt the second strategy

it worked thank you

[slim ferry]

you always have to do display size regardless of atlas dimensions, the game always stretches cards out to the default size regardless of atlas dimensions

[maiden phoenix]

What if I modify YOUR display_size?

[slim ferry]

ok

[glass scaffold]

Is this basically saying Talisman's not playing nice or did I mess up?

[rotund sable]

G.GAME.dollars is a table with talisman

Iirc

[slim ferry]

you need to to_big around the 0's

[glass scaffold]

Damn you, Talisman.

[glass scaffold]

just slap or (insert to_big thing here) by the 0's?

[wild berry]

how can i get the current score accumulated during a blind

[slim ferry]

no, just replace them with to_big(0)

and if you havent yet put to_big = to_big or function(x) return x end at the top of your main file

so it works without talisman

[glass scaffold]

Good news is: it's not crashing.
Bad news: It didn't halve the cost.

[wild berry]

??

[glass scaffold]

Wait, scratch that, I forgot to hook another function.

[daring fern]

SMODS.calculate_round_score()

[wild berry]

kty

[glass scaffold]

Is there any way to make this $10 change to $5?

(Visually speaking, it works technically.)

[bold sleet]

lmao

[glass scaffold]

The repaint I have installed is a complete tossup

[carmine chasm]

why won't this work? if context.setting_blind then for i = 1, 10 do local new_card = create_card(joker2.config.self) new_card:add_to_deck() G.jokers:emplace(new_card) end end

[red flower]

idk what joker2 is but joker2.config.self probably doesn't exist
and create_card has many more required arguments

you probably want something like SMODS.add_card{ key = joker2.config.center.key} (you would remove add_to_deck and emplace too)

[carmine chasm]

joker2 is the key of my joker

[lethal spindle]

Hi, does anyone have a list of blind requirements past ante 39 on White Stake so I can help balancing?

[rotund sable]

you could use the ref_table and ref_value for this

[glass scaffold]

Where can I find how to use that to modify that value specifically?

[slim ferry]

i dont imagine anyone has these on hand since they require bignum or some other library to even calculate, you could try opening the game with debugplus and talisman and doing eval get_blind_amount(ante) to get the amounts though

[rotund sable]

i assume your making your own ui so https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide#node-configuration

[glass scaffold]

I'm trying to modify as little of the existing UI as I can while getting the change to go through.

But I'll check that later on.

[rotund sable]

what's your current code?

[glass scaffold]

For the technical side or visual?

[rotund sable]

uhhhh, visual ig

or both

[glass scaffold]

Gimme a bit to get what I have

[lethal spindle]

Okay, lemme try

[glass scaffold]

2nd one has A LOT more to it

[rotund sable]

so you're trying to change the text on the reroll button?

let me see the game code

[glass scaffold]

Just where it says "10$" to 5.

[glass scaffold]

what game code exactly?

[rotund sable]

uhh generally all the game files

[slim ferry]

lovely/dump

[glass scaffold]

Thank you H'

[rotund sable]

ok so it's kinda hardcoded

[slim ferry]

why is it localize('$')

does that even change with language

i thought it was just the dollar symbol in every language

[spice wadi]

If only there was an injector that let you change lines of code, that'd be lovely

[spice wadi]

Least questionable part of the source code

[glass scaffold]

This is gonna require patching, isn't it?

[keen atlas]

...................................................................................

[ashen drift]

localize("my buthoel")

[rotund sable]

yes

[ashen drift]

why am i getting the nxkoo treatment

[glass scaffold]

Alright, how do I do patches?

[spice wadi]

You've got 2 solutions
1: patch
2: have it change the text of the node every time (can be a bit messy)

Just patch it honestly

[spice wadi]

Blunderboard

[spice wadi]

Look at the lovely repo

Or basically any mod ever

[ashen drift]

i will have a lovely injection today

[rotund sable]

or vanillaremade wiki

[ashen drift]

inject me with lovely

[rotund sable]

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

[ashen drift]

discord reportably forgot how to count

wait FUCK this is modding dev

[red flower]

lmao

[ashen drift]

toodles

[floral marsh]

[gusty iron]

How would I make it so that you can't skip a blind?

[floral marsh]

similar question here how would I make it so that you cant skip a specific booster pack

nvm

another hook

:D..

[wild berry]

how can i make a joker retrigger other jokers

[daring fern]

if context.retrigger_joker_check then return {repetitions = 1} end

[wild berry]

kkty

[daring fern]

Also you need to enable it.

[unborn bay]

the mere mention of the blunderboard made you forget

[gusty iron]

I know cryptid already did something like this but...

evil.....

[wild berry]

where?

[ashen drift]

i legit opened balacord and just said shit i thought i left it on modding chat

😭
