Get the mods

[old void]

lmfao

[queen crescent]

hijacked account lol

anyways

other boss disabling joker i know is yahimods mucho texto (if boss blind has more than two lines of text, its disabled)

mass confusion

[gusty compass]

Man lua is a mess

Didn't think I would have to take ages to debug

[queen crescent]

didnt work, the jokers must be destroyed

[frosty rampart]

ok you've misunderstood
context.debuff_card runs once on every individual card, and in fact context.debuff_card is a reference to each card. it acts similar to context.individual, only in this case there's no context.other_card because context.debuff_card is already a reference to the card
you need to switch your checks to check if context.debuff_card.config.center_key == "joker key" then, and then return { debuff = true } if the check passes

[queen crescent]

ill still have j_gj_fireicerealjokerlol be destroyed

welp

[unkempt bronze]

Yaihamice reference?

[queen crescent]

thats a whole new can of worms

[queen crescent]

i guess?

[slim ferry]

you need to check context.debuff_card and all the other stuff

[unkempt bronze]

I just saw "yahimod"

[frosty rampart]

check that context.debuff_card exists before checking if context.debuff_card.config.center_key is anything

[queen crescent]

it didnt return anything, chicot disabled it before it could do anything

[gusty compass]

Balatro hates me lmao

[unkempt bronze]

lua hates me too lol

[queen crescent]

game logic hates me

[unkempt bronze]

code hates all

[gusty compass]

I'm trying to get the second suit using max but SOMEHOW, max(-5000,11,12,13) = 11

[queen crescent]

chicot be damned

[queen crescent]

@frosty rampart

[unkempt bronze]

Must be illogical overflow logic...?

[gusty compass]

You think?

[frosty rampart]

context.debuff_card isn't calculated during context.setting_blind, it has to be separate

[unkempt bronze]

Any other explanations?

[gusty compass]

My shitty lua coding?

[unkempt bronze]

How you broke a max function even I can't figure!

[gusty compass]

No idea

Lua is witchcraft

[unkempt bronze]

and I'm arguably just as bad!

[gusty compass]

I prefer powershell ise

[unkempt bronze]

I'm the kinda person who'd get stuck making a psuedorandom function

[unkempt bronze]

I prefer scratch myself

[queen crescent]

boom

[gusty compass]

Istg if balatro is gonna continue taking the piss with my max function, I'm gonna mod minecraft instead

Nvm it's written in java

🥀

[unkempt bronze]

Like how Chicot's crossed out, like a "don't sell to" sign.

[queen crescent]

exactly

[unkempt bronze]

"you can't disable me if I disable you first!"

[unkempt bronze]

you already switch to Minecraft?

[gusty compass]

No

My second most suit is ♤ and I'm getting 🔹

[unkempt bronze]

Hang on, show us the code\

[rocky plaza]

are u using math.max?

[gusty compass]

Yea

[unkempt bronze]

sometimes two idiots and a village of masters is better than one

[rocky plaza]

???

[gusty compass]

Three idiots, including my computer

[rocky plaza]

idk what is going on

[gusty compass]

My code says otherwise

[frosty rampart]

show code

[rocky plaza]

did someone attempt to hook the math.max function 🥀
yeah i would like to see the code as well

[gusty compass]

FYI, it's an abomination

[rocky plaza]

im sure it'll be fine...

to debug...

[gusty compass]

It's a mess...

[frosty rampart]

if you don't post the code we can't help you

[queen crescent]

casually debuffs chicot

[frosty rampart]

just post it

[rocky plaza]

just show it so that we can try to help

[gusty compass]

Give me a sec

[real crown]

I have a Joker that eats playing cards and spits them out when the Joker is sold or destroyed, but I have a problem
I'm using GUID to know which of these Jokers ate what card if there are multiple of it
It's working perfectly normally, HOWEVER, when you quit the game, and load it, all the eaten cards are forgotten, I'm assuming because the GUID changed
What do you think the easiest way to solve this would be? (The remove_from_deck function for reference)

        if not (G.cs_stack and G.cs_stack.cards and #G.cs_stack.cards > 0) then
            return
        end
        local owner = card.GUID or tostring(card)

        local to_return = {}
        for _, c in ipairs(G.cs_stack.cards) do
            if c.cs_eaten_saved and c.stp_beast_owner == owner then
                table.insert(to_return, c)
            end
        end
        if #to_return == 0 then
            return
        end

        for _, c in ipairs(to_return) do
            c.cs_eaten_saved = nil
            c.stp_beast_owner = nil
            c.cs_eaten = nil
            if c.area == G.cs_stack then
                G.cs_stack:remove_card(c)
            end

            c:add_to_deck()
            G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
            table.insert(G.playing_cards, c)
            playing_card_joker_effects({c})
            if G.hand.cards[1] then
                c.states.visible = nil
                G.hand:emplace(c)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        c:start_materialize();
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            else
                G.deck:emplace(c)
            end
        end

        SMODS.calculate_effect({
            message = 'Regurgitated',
            colour = G.C.PURPLE
        }, card)
    end```

[gusty compass]

Ima just send the .lua file, its the joker with the key szymii

[unkempt bronze]

@lean urchin you should look this joker over too!

[rocky plaza]

if cs_stack.cards contains Card objects
then i kinda see why it resets on load
it's generally not good practice to store cards to G

[gusty compass]

He will prob cringe lmao

[rocky plaza]

at least afaik

[unkempt bronze]

Eh, they thought my joker design was 'literally perfect'

[gusty compass]

there, its just below the region comment

[real crown]

Where should I store them? I also heard it was bad to store them in abilities.extra

[unkempt bronze]

A THOUSAND LINES FOR ONE JOKER!?

[gusty compass]

uh

no

thats my entire mod

not one joker

[unkempt bronze]

Oh. I'm pretty sure you could've just done the joker by itself

[gusty compass]

discord wouldnt let me send such big msgs 😔

anyways salvage it somehow

[rocky plaza]

unfortunately
theres not a good way to store cards directly as far as im aware

[unkempt bronze]

me?

[gusty compass]

idk

the code is a tragic mess 🥀

[unkempt bronze]

I fix code in notepad! I'm either the last person to ask, or low on the list!

[rocky plaza]

alr i guess i can paste ts in my vscode

[unkempt bronze]

You could send messages as files, you know

[real crown]

Thank you for the info, that's really unfortunate

[rocky plaza]

@gusty compass the intent is to retrigger the most common suit, correct

[gusty compass]

Second most common suit

[rocky plaza]

oh

[unkempt bronze]

SECOND most common

[rocky plaza]

🥀

[unkempt bronze]

much harder

[rocky plaza]

illiterate

[unkempt bronze]

@gusty compass here's my loose take on the same joker

[gusty compass]

well wouldnt that just look at the second suit in the table

[unkempt bronze]

Currently, just as good as yours!

[rocky plaza]

scoring or all played

[unkempt bronze]

in the deck

[gusty compass]

in full deck

[rocky plaza]

oh

how do you want to hande ties

[gusty compass]

no effect

[unkempt bronze]

just skip it if there's a tie for second place

[analog spoke]

what is the area for the shop's main selling area with SMODS.create_card()?
I can't recall using the fuction before, but if I wanted a joker to have the ability to add a specific card in the shop, I assume this'd be it, right?

[unkempt bronze]

is there a way to sort suits by number of cards

Uh... welp. Killed another channel.

[red flower]

the area is G.shop_jokers but it's a bit more complicated than that because it doesn't add the shop UI

[red flower]

not in the api, you would need to code the logic yourself

[unkempt bronze]

is the table there?

[red flower]

table of what

cards in deck?

[unkempt bronze]

cards in deck separated by suits

[red flower]

no

if there was then I wouldn't have said that you need to code it yourself haha

[unkempt bronze]

Well then, a table for the cards in deck, a function to count the suits, and then another function to sort the sums

[gusty compass]

i think it should work now

i hate lua

[red flower]

the cards in the full deck are in G.playing_cards
there's no function for the other two things, it's 2 simple loops

[rocky plaza]

if it doesnt work then i have a diff algorithm u may want to try

[unkempt bronze]

lemme try this first..

[rocky plaza]

wait i just realized you can modify a table while looping thru it (to some extent) in lua

😭

[unkempt bronze]

...Tomato, what did you do.

[rocky plaza]

the good news is that my algorithm looks a lot simpler than that

[unkempt bronze]

(context: yet to try it, Balatro didn't open for other reasons)

[gusty compass]

??

wdym it didnt open

[unkempt bronze]

I clicked on it, it didn't open

[gusty compass]

you opened balatro and it didnt open?

are you sure you didnt single click the app?

[unkempt bronze]

Yeah, but it's unrelated to your joker

[gusty compass]

i didnt do anything 😭

[unkempt bronze]

gimme a sec...

[gusty compass]

line 172?

[unkempt bronze]

That's my cut of code. Your joker's right after.

[gusty compass]

hold on

[unkempt bronze]

missing } again

[gusty compass]

you are missing a } somewhere

since on my IDE it shows no errors

[unkempt bronze]

Yeah. It's not your fault

[gusty compass]

thats alright

for a sec i thought i ruined ur mod 🙏

[unkempt bronze]

Oh, it's fine.

I get the feeling

[analog spoke]

oh, I see, lol dsfnh sdfnsdkj

so, how would I accomplish this then?

[unkempt bronze]

Uh-oh. another one of "} by end, but not anywhere near end."

} by 172 is expected, but I put one there and now <eof> is expected there

[gusty compass]

also, uh

you dont mind if i can use that joker

for me own mod?

[unkempt bronze]

What, szymii?

[gusty compass]

idk

i can change the name tho

[unkempt bronze]

Ask the man, it's his joker

you can have the soup one, tho

[gusty compass]

kk

ill leave it to you then

[unkempt bronze]

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "pop_can",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 7,
    pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
    config = { extra = { dollars = 4 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollars } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[1] and context.other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") then
            G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + card.ability.extra.dollars
            return {
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars,
                func = function() 
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.GAME.dollar_buffer = 0
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                end
            }
        end
    end,```
here's the code for that, if you'd like

(I named it Pop Can, since Pop Art...)

[gusty compass]

you can keep it, its yours

[unkempt bronze]

kk

[rocky plaza]

😭 since u figured it out before i did it doesnt matter
but here
also the file is wack cuz i copied it into an empty file in my mod

this is what i came up with while u were tryna fix the issue lmao

[unkempt bronze]

That... might be simplier

[gusty compass]

yea at this point idrk

also

earlier i mentioned why does balatro crash when modded consumables have an edition

[unkempt bronze]

T, I'mma credit you in my mod, the best way I know how!

[rocky plaza]

np

[gusty compass]

gg

[unkempt bronze]

Making you a Joker!

[rocky plaza]

just credit me as ThunderEdge if you do

[unkempt bronze]

gg

[rocky plaza]

do you have any mods installed that mess with how consumables are displayed or represented?

[gusty compass]

no as far as i can tell

[rocky plaza]

yeah my balatro isnt crashing with my modded consumable types

[gusty compass]

yea idk what happens with my mod

since my spectral i made crashes once i click on it when it has negative

[rocky plaza]

does your mod in any way mess with the functionality of shaders

[gusty compass]

i dont have any custom shaders yet

so no

[rocky plaza]

whats the crash message when that happens

[gusty compass]

pretty sure its this

[wintry solar]

Saturn issue

[gusty compass]

do i disable it?

[rocky plaza]

yeah

[gusty compass]

kk

i might make it a conflict where the mod wont load with saturn

[rocky plaza]

for some dumb reason mine crashes on titlescreen when cryptid is loaded

😭

[wintry solar]

Nah it’s just an old broken Saturn build, I’m 95% sure there’s a fixed version somewhere

[unkempt bronze]

Say, does anyone know how to ban every OG joker?

It's for a challenge idea I have, trust

[red flower]

i would look at how the rare and uncommon tags do it

[analog spoke]

mmmmh, true, thank you, yeah, that could help I think

[unkempt bronze]

Apparently Corrupted DNA is broken...

(it was the only joker I had at the moment)

Here's just that joker

I think it's because of the -1,0,1 table and the D,H,S,C table

[analog spoke]

ok, so, this sadly doesn't appear to work dbnfksndbfkjsd
any idea what I messed up?
no crash is happening, but the card doesn't appear in shop

btw, for further reference, before I commented out the "add_booster" part, it WAS doing that part

[red flower]

try doing add_card instead of create_card

and change context.area for G.shop_jokers

[unkempt bronze]

What about for me?

the tables seemingly are busted (a number's needed in that spot, to my figuring)

[red flower]

yes the first argument is the table and the second the seed

[unkempt bronze]

Oh. I had them backwards?

Also, seed's supposed to be a number

[red flower]

seed should be a string

[unkempt bronze]

oh.

[red flower]

it gets converted into a number internally

that's why the error is there because you didn't pass a valid string to convert or a valid pseudoseed

[analog spoke]

ok, so, uhm, changed both these, and uhm... this is... progress

I have never seen something like this before lmao

it's like the slots were filled with Nothing instead of Something lol

things moved, but no selection is happening lol

[red flower]

can i see the code

oh wait you're setting it to invisible lmao

remove the visible false line

[analog spoke]

here it is

[analog spoke]

oh 😭 wonder why the uncommon tag has that in there lmao

[red flower]

because it does an animation where it sets it to visible later

[analog spoke]

ahhh i see

[analog spoke]

ok, it works now, thanks for ur help so far!
now just to make it spawn the right card lol, time to swap the uncommon joker out for a Fool card

[ivory citrus]

Helo

anyone know how i can change the mod icon?

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-a-custom-icon

[next timber]

wrong chat

[uncut badger]

ive patched immolate to work on macos if any of you guys would want it I can share the source

ill put it on github if people would use it

i patched all the opencl over to metal

im trying to get it to work with brainstorm so all the macos users of the world can auto reroll

[quick prairie]

is "context.remove_playing_cards" able to detect destruction due to hanged man or any external card destruction effects that maybe don't return remove or something?

[red flower]

yes as long as they call the appropriate context, hanged man does

[quick prairie]

define appropriate context, you mean so long as it returns { remove = true}?

[red flower]

If they don't use { remove = true } or SMODS.destroy_cards, they need to call the remove_playing_cards context manually

[obtuse wraith]

Hey, at least this looks cool.

[unkempt bronze]

Hm. My Corrupted DNA code does seem to change the value of cards, but not the suit. Also, it doubles cards twice.

[granite jay]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)          --defines variables to use in the UI. you can use #1# for example to show the chips variable
        vars = {card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.x_mult, card.ability.extra.dollars}
        local action = G.GAME.current_round.ameliorates_octosquish
        local actionMSG = ''
        if action == 0 then
            return {
                actionMSG = '{C:inactive}Currently does nothing'
            }
        elseif action == 1 then
            return {
                actionMSG = '{C:inactive}Currently {C:chips}+#1# {C:inactive}Chips'
            }
        elseif action == 2 then
            return {
                actionMSG = '{C:inactive}Currently {C:mult}+#2# {C:inactive}Mult'
            }
        elseif action == 3 then
            return {
                actionMSG = '{C:inactive}Currently {X:mult, C:white}X#3# {C:inactive}Mult'
            }
        elseif action == 4 then
            return {
                actionMSG = '{C:inactive}Currently earns {C:money}$#4#'
            }
        end
        main_end = {
            n = G.UIT.T,
            text = actionMSG
        }
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.x_mult, card.ability.extra.dollars}, main_end, key = self.key }
    end

Anyone able to make main_end show properly? RN It doesn't.

[olive hamlet]

Hey everyone, does anybody know how can i make a joker or spectral card to replace the background music, bc when i try it, it only overlaps, and also i cant stop it from playing

[unkempt bronze]

Where is the mistake here that's leading to local card = nil?

[quick prairie]

just making sure, but if i want to implement emult i need some sort of addon right?

[unkempt bronze]

How in the world am I getting repetitions? This is DNA, not Hanging Chad!

[analog spoke]

ok, so, random tarot worked, but trying to make it specifically call for a Fool card failed lol dnfksdn

😭 I'm tired and wanna go to beddddddd gah

[unkempt bronze]

Hey, railgun

[analog spoke]

hi

[unkempt bronze]

Mind if I ask for some help?

[analog spoke]

uhm, sure but idk if I can be much help lol sfdsf

[unkempt bronze]

Well, it shouldn't need much lol sfdsf

It's about a joker of mine. It's supposed to be like an altered version of DNA, which incorrectly copies the first card of a hand. The current issue is two-fold: it's running a repetition check when it shouldn't, and the cards aren't updating to their actual values.

Would you like code to fine-tune it?

[analog spoke]

hmmmm, interesting

I don't get what's happening in the code tbh lol, assuming this is the same one lol
I don't know why it'd be retriggering sadly :<
I'm not sure if this is my lack of knowledge, tiredness, or a combo of both lol sdnhfsdj
I could link to a page called VanillaRemade which should include the original DNA code if that'd help, but u may've already been in there idk dnfskjndks

[unkempt bronze]

Do you know anyone on who might know of a fix?

[analog spoke]

hmm, there's a couple people I know which may know how they'd fix something like this, but I am tired rn lol dfnskdf I can't think tbh sdnfkjsdn

if I were you, I'd recommend coming back to this tommorow perhaps? Assuming ur on around the same timezone as me, which could be quite false, it is quite late rn lol
if you are at the same timezone around-so, then it might do good to have a "fresh mind" so to speak, also, maybe more peo- sorry I'm so tired I can't even finish this thought I don't know what half this message even says 😭

[unkempt bronze]

Mine's New York time, so yeah.

shpuld probably give up for the night

[daring fern]

No, you need to check for context.individual

[unkempt bronze]

By what part?

[daring fern]

In the if

[unkempt bronze]

ah.

so the if line should look like
if context.individual and context.scoring_hand[1] and not context.blueprint then

Uh. It didn't copy

[unkempt bronze]

like above?

Well, now the game just up and closes upon playing a single card.

[unkempt bronze]

Nevermind. Pardon me for my prior anger

Now, I still have to fix cards taking on the wrong skin.

[wind steppe]

chat how does stickers work in SMODS.create_card

[jolly shadow]

p sure its a table of keys

[wind steppe]

like {rental = true, perishable = true} or like {rental, eternal, perishable}

[frosty rampart]

well you want quotes around the keys, but yea the second one

[granite jay]

So V is the object color version of C where you use colors directly, is there a "V" version of X?

In localisation?

[daring fern]

B

[atomic edge]

is there a mod that can reroll boosters/vouchers that isnt cryptid

i need one to check out the code

[granite jay]

I do that and it shows as white

Even when I set msg1b to mult

[rocky plaza]

How would one go about making a certain tag unable to be duplicated by double tags without patching double tags? Is it even possible to do this?

[quick prairie]

im not sure i understand fully, but could i use context.mod_probability and context.identifier to make a joker that only affects certain enhancements?

[frosty rampart]

taking ownership of double tags :)

[frosty rampart]

if you mean affecting the probability of e.g. only a glass card breaking, then yes

[atomic edge]

if i want to access a voucher i have to put v_modprefix_vouchername?

ty

[rocky plaza]

😭 so no matter what i have to mess with vanilla double tag
and any other mod with a tag that has a similar effect

man

[frosty rampart]

yea unfortunately
i think so at least, i'm only looking at vanillaremade rn but i'll go dig into the actual vanilla code

ok yea VR is very accurate to the actual code

essentially all double tag does is call add_tag(insert tag here)

[quick prairie]

are there any examples for how to use context.identifier? i know nothing though i assume the key (like m_glass) is used somewhere

[rocky plaza]

huh i guess i could hook add_tag

wait no

cuz i'd need to check the source

[frosty rampart]

yea and add_tag doesn't get any info about the context or its source or whatever

[daring fern]

No, you could hook Tag:apply_to_run and check if _context.type == 'tag_add' and _context.tag.key == 'tag_modprefix_key' and make it so that add_tag does nothing if the key is the tag you want to prevent from double tags.

[frosty rampart]

i believe i wrote something related to glass card probabilities recently, lemme dig up the code

[frosty rampart]

this makes both lucky card rolls always succeed, and glass card rolls always fail. it's using fix_probability instead of mod_probability because i want to forcibly set it to 0 or the max even despite oops all 6s or any other additive probability modifiers or whatever

to find out what a particular identifier is, do this in your joker's code

if context.mod_probability then
  print(context.identifier)
end

and then go in-game and make the probability roll you want to modify happen; if you have debugplus it'll pop up in the bottom left corner, if you don't it'll print in the black log window that pops up when you boot the game with mods

[quick prairie]

sweet

thanks

[mystic river]

you don't want to set it to "mult", you want to set it to G.C.MULT

I meant G.C.MULT

Nvm it works

thx

[left vapor]

can anyone explain how to add custom deck skins using steamodded? ive looked at the api documentation pages but it looks like a different language (i am not a programmer)

[red flower]

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

[obtuse wraith]

Alright. Some mod pin this quickly drawn sample skin.

[left vapor]

i'm still not sure what i'm doing wrong but thanks for the help
i keep getting this error and im not sure what to do with it

ive never done any form of programming so im not sure what an atlas even is

[jolly shadow]

we cant help without seein the code

[left vapor]

what would be the best way to send that ._.

[honest bridge]

Yo how do yall make something happen when a certain joker is clicked on (such as that joker being destroyed)

[wind steppe]

youd have to make a lovely patch to call a context on click

or a hook

https://github.com/Yahiamice/yahimod-balatro does this for el wiwi i think

[daring fern]

Hook Card:click and check self.config.center.key

[red river]

i got it working!

[jolly shadow]

wicked card

[honest bridge]

Sorry im actually a bit confused on the self.config.center.key part how do i check that?

[true jasper]

PEAK

[daring fern]

if self.config.center.key == 'j_modprefix_key'

[stoic void]

what is wrong with this code?
Its not doing anything

[solid mesa]

you never loc_vars them

and why you writte the text like that?

[stoic void]

idk

[stoic void]

do you mean I shouldnt or that i dont

[solid mesa]

you should

[stoic void]

k

[true jasper]

The played hands should be 1 not 0

[ashen drift]

context.game_over isnt calculated so its nil and not false

just the context.end of round should be sufficient tbh

really it should go in calc dollar bonus

[stoic void]

K

[daring fern]

No, it is calculated and it is false if the game is not over.

[ashen drift]

huh really

i thought it just wasnt passed

[ashen drift]

huh

[wintry solar]

The issue is that that’s not how you check a value is false in lua

Should be not context.game_over

[stuck ore]

What does context.game_over check?

Is it just what Mr. Bones uses to stop game over?

[wintry solar]

It is true when you have lost the blind

[stuck ore]

Ah gotcha

So I'm making a joker and I want them to increase in Xmult until they reach X5 and then stop and just retrigger the Xmult but every way I've tried to configure it it won't show multiple triggers of the joker for the different instances of X5 which is what I'd like. Also yes I know the coding is terrible, I'm self taught and frankensteining a lot of other code from mods I've played, sorry if it's unreadable. (Will gladly take suggestions for how to have better coding punctuation though).

[real crown]

How can I create a specific card from a rank, suit, edition, seal and enhancement?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = "Base", rank = 'modprefix_key', suit = 'modprefix_key', edition = 'e_modprefix_key', seal = 'modprefix_key', enhancement = 'm_modprefix_key'})

[real crown]

Thank you!

[faint yacht]

return {
  xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult,
  extra = {
    message = "Go again!",
    colour = G.C.MULT,
    extra = {
      xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
    }
  }
}

[stuck ore]

Oh I didn’t know that the messages when under the effects themselves thanks

[real crown]

SMODS.add_card is creating a card with random suit and rank for me, the edition/seal/enhancement are correct, it's just the rank and suit that's incorrect, despite the print writing the correct rank and suit in the console:

                set = "Base",
                rank = snap.id,
                suit = snap.suit,
                edition = snap.edition,
                seal = snap.seal,
                enhancement = snap.enhancement
})```
This is where I get the snap from:
```function _G.STP.pack_playing_card(c)
    print(c:get_id())
    print(c.base.suit)
    return {
        id = c:get_id(),
        suit = c.base.suit,
        enhancement = (c.config and c.config.center and c.config.center.key) or 'c_base',
        seal = c.seal or nil,
        edition = c.edition and copy_table(c.edition) or nil
    }
end```

[daring fern]

rank should be the rank key, not the id

Also edition should be c.edition and c.edition.key or nil

[real crown]

It does the same when I try c.rank
The edition worked this way too. And the prints give the correct id and suit (e.g.: 12 for a Queen)

[daring fern]

No, the rank key is not the id.

Also you should still do c.edition and c.edition.key or nil for the edition.

[real crown]

Okay, changed the edition
But I don't get how ranks work, shouldn't Queen be id 12 and rank 12?

[daring fern]

The rank key for Queen would be "Queen"

It's located at card.base.value

[real crown]

Thank you so much, it's working now!
Somehow it also solved the suit issue

[analog spoke]

for some further info, back before I had commented out the booster, that part DID work

oh, and this time an actual crash is happening, not just a failure to take effect

[faint yacht]

c_fool?

[lean urchin]

Nah

[distant junco]

how do i make a global variable

[ionic cobalt]

voodoo

[daring fern]

variable = value

[distant junco]

is that literally it

[daring fern]

Yes.

[distant junco]

god damn it

thanks

[pastel kernel]

+1 permanent joker slot whenever "j_modprefix_key" is added to your joker deck.

how do i write this?

i mean the context part

the whenever part

[slim ferry]

Hook Card:add_to_deck

since there isnt a universal context for obtaining jokers

vanillaremade has a very similar hook on the same function in here https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-hook

[pastel kernel]

local card_add_to_deck_ref = Card.add_to_deck
        function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
            local ret = card_add_to_deck_ref(self, from_debuff)
        end
            if next(SMODS.find_mod("j_star_astro")) and
             self.ability.set == "Joker" then
                return ret
             end
             if ret then
             G.jokers.config.card_limit = lenient_bignum(
             G.jokers.config.card_limit + math.min(card.ability.extra.jokerslot, card.ability.immutable.slotlimit))
        end```
I haven't tested it yet, just need someone to tell me if i'm doing something wrong.

[slim ferry]

use G.jokers:change_size(amount)

also card doesnt exist here

youre also using find_mod on a joker, and returning before the actual slot increase

[pastel kernel]

how about this?```lua
if next(SMODS.find_mod("j_star_astro")) then
G.jokers.change_size(math.min(card.ability.extra.jokerslot, card.ability.immutable.slotlimit))
end

[slim ferry]

this still has the latter three issues

and also do if self.config.center.key == "j_star_astro"

[pastel kernel]

this works with crossmod jokers?

[slim ferry]

wdym

[daring fern]

No, there is, context.card_added

[slim ferry]

oh

[pastel kernel]

this is for my mod, i'm making busted buffoons astro give +1 permanent joker slot each time a starspace astro is obtained

[slim ferry]

yeah

but what is the question

[pastel kernel]

what question?

[slim ferry]

#💻・modding-dev message

[pastel kernel]

you need me to be clearer?

[daring fern]

if context.card_added and context.card.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_key" then
    G.jokers:change_size((-G.jokers.config.card_limit)+math.min(G.jokers.config.card_limit+card.ability.extra.jokerslot, card.ability.immutable.slotlimit))
end

[pastel kernel]

G.jokers:change_size(( "-"

this is needed?

[slim ferry]

why is it in quotes

also yes that makes it actually stay under the slot limit

[cunning valley]

Yoyo! I'm trying to get a context for when you sell a tarot card, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly

My approach was to use

if context.selling_card and not context.blueprint and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot" then```

but it seems to crash every time i try it. I'm guessing i'm doing something wrong

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(i'll go get the log)

This is the crash report

[daring fern]

It's context.card not context.consumeable

[cunning valley]

Oh! So, i remove the context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot" and replace it with something else?

[daring fern]

No, you replace context.consumeable with context.card

[cunning valley]

Ohhhhhh

I'm unsure on how it didn't work before but, allow me to see if this functions correctly now!

It works! Thank you so much!

If I may ask, how did you know it was context.card instead of consumeable? I've been struggling to find resources for the mods and been mostly using the smods wiki

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions

[cunning valley]

Ah, makes sense

So it was looking for a card, but it was being given a consumeable, which caused the crash. Is that what I'm getting?

[red flower]

no, the problem is that the only valid fields in that context are selling_card, card and cardarea. any others are nil*

*with some small exceptions like blueprint

[cunning valley]

oOooooo

Okay this just opened my mind that makes a lot more sense

though finding contexts is still a bit difficult, thank you so much!

[slim ferry]

i love undocumented features

[red flower]

maybe this helps?
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-context

[slim ferry]

theres also this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/0df6645af07302bdd3c9b0e845399f713ece724b/lsp_def/utils.lua#L7-L113, it has most contexts but its a bit hard to read due to being meant for an lsp rather than documentation

[cunning valley]

this looks very useful actually!

[cunning valley]

OH i already got that one, that's how i was able to make most of the joker by itself lol

[outer jungle]

Can someone help me understand why this isn't working or if there is a better solution?
I try to increase the chips of the hand level of the hand being played
local hand_name = string.gsub(context.scoring_name, " ", "_") G.GAME.hands[hand_name].chips = G.GAME.hands[hand_name].chips + card.ability.extra.chips

[red flower]

idk why you are replacing spaces with _

the key has spaces

this should work if you change that but it will reset after level up, it requires some extra code

[outer jungle]

oh

[outer jungle]

how would i do that?

[red flower]

dunno

[outer jungle]

alr

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[stone dagger]

Hello, I'm new to Balatro modding and Im trying to create some simple jokers based of MTG cards (cause I dont know how to draw) and Im kinda going mental. I am trying to create a Joker that at end of round creates a planet card for a random hand played this round, and Im trying to use a table to record the hands played to then randomly select one. However the variable I am creating as a table is always nil when I try to access it. Does anyone know why or what I might have done wrong. I can send the code if it's easier

[frosty dock]

if you're just making a local variable, it doesn't carry over to surrounding scopes and just gets lost when exiting the function

beyond that, you also need the variable to survive the game being reloaded, which leaves two choices

you can either create the table in card.ability, which will make it specific to that card, or somewhere in G.GAME, in which case it'll be shared between all instances

both approaches are mostly identical but will vary when obtaining your joker in the middle of a round

[stone dagger]

this what Im already trying to do:

config = {
extra = {
hands_table = {}
}
},

[frosty dock]

how are you using it then

[stone dagger]

May I send the calculate code?

[frosty dock]

please do

[stone dagger]

calculate = function(self, card, context)

        if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then
            if not card.ability.extra.hands_table then
                card.ability.extra.hands_table = {}
            end
            card.ability.extra.hands_table[#card.ability.extra.hands_table] = context.scoring_name
            print("Added Hand: " .. card.ability.extra.hands_table[#card.ability.extra.hands_table])
        end

        if context.end_of_round and context.cardarea == G.jokers then
            
            if G.consumeables.config.card_count < G.consumeables.config.card_limit then
                
                for k, v in pairs(card.ability.extra.hands_table) do
                    print(k, v)
                end

                local rnd = math.random(#card.ability.extra.hands_table)
                local rand_hand = card.ability.extra.hands_table[rnd]
                
                print("Rnd index = " .. rnd)

                --local planet = Get_hand_planet(rand_hand)

                return {
                    -- message = localize('Found ' .. planet.name),
                    message = "Created planet!",
                }

            end
            
        end
    end

the if not var then var = {} was already desperation

[frosty dock]

oh that one's silly

your issue lies in lua being 1-indexed

[stone dagger]

how so?

[frosty dock]

you use the length of the table as your index

for 0-indexed arrays, that would be the first free index

but with 1-indexed arrays it's merely the last element that already exists

or, in case of an empty table, you're assiging at index 0

which doesn't belong to the array part of the table

[stone dagger]

so I need to add +1?

[frosty dock]

yep

[stone dagger]

Ok Im gonna test it

[frosty dock]

on another note, this is bad and won't work as expected with game seeds

you should instead do local rand_hand = pseudorandom_element(card.ability.extra.hands_table, "some_seed_string_of_your_choosing")

[stone dagger]

thank you

can the seed be the game seed?

[frosty dock]

it should just be some unique string you choose

the game will factor in the game seed behind the scenes

[stone dagger]

ah ok, thanks :)

[frosty dock]

for actually creating the planet card, you can look at blue seal's effect in Card:get_end_of_round_effect

and don't forget to reset the table at the end

[stone dagger]

I had forgotten but when testing realised it :P

[stone dagger]

thanks I might, I've been using paperback's code as reference but I just dont understand some things there

It's working :D Thank you!

[analog spoke]

thank you, this worked dbnfsdhbfj forgot I needed to have the prefix... I should really learn what prefixes are what so I have the info for future lol

[lament agate]

is there a documentation for gradient

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Gradient

[rotund sable]

found this problem. am i stupid again?

neither x_chips, xchips and x_mult work

it's in an edition

[ripe oak]

I just updated Steammodded and now I get the following error whenever the debuff_card function is called:

attempt to index local flags (a nil value)

it says the error occurs here in steammodded:

local debuff_card = Blind.debuff_card
function Blind:debuff_card(card, from_blind)
    local flags = SMODS.calculate_context({ debuff_card = card, ignore_debuff = true })
    if flags.prevent_debuff then 
        if card.debuff then card:set_debuff(false) end
        return
    elseif flags.debuff then
        if not card.debuff then card:set_debuff(true) end
        return
    end
    debuff_card(self, card, from_blind)
end

idk what to do

it feels weird because it seems like steammodded crashes when referencing one of its own functions

[daring fern]

Do you have x_chips in the config?

[pale holly]

PRegalia.config_tab = function()
    return {
    n = G.UIT.ROOT, 
    config = { align = "m", r = 0.1, minw = 7, minh = 5, padding = 0.1, colour = G.C.BLACK}, 
    nodes = { 
    { n = G.UIT.R, config = { align = "cl", padding = 0, minh = 0.1 }, nodes = {}},
    
    { n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cl", padding =0}, 
    nodes = { create_toggle { col = true, label = "", scale = 1, w = 0, shadow = true, ref_table = PRegalia_config, ref_value = "pip_menu" },
            }
                    },
       { n = G.UIT.C, config = { align = "c", padding = 0 },
                        nodes = {
                            { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "Custom Menu", scale = 0.45, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT } },
                        }
                    },
                }
             }
end 

So uh, tried doing the Config and while it works it's, well broken, not totally sure what i've done wrong so if i could have some help please '^^

[rotund sable]

you just made me realize how stupid am i (i had that in the config.extra)

[rotund sable]

i think you'd need to put them into the row node

[willow scroll]

Isnt it xmult

[rotund sable]

i think both should work

but it was the config

[willow scroll]

Ah well idk

[pale holly]

So like this right ?

PRegalia.config_tab = function()
    return {
    n = G.UIT.ROOT, 
    config = { align = "m", r = 0.1, minw = 7, minh = 5, padding = 0.1, colour = G.C.BLACK}, 
    nodes = { 
    { n = G.UIT.R, config = { align = "cl", padding = 0, minh = 0.1 }, nodes = {
    { n = G.UIT.R, config = {align = "cl", padding =0}, 
    nodes = { create_toggle { col = true, label = "", scale = 1, w = 0, shadow = true, ref_table = PRegalia_config, ref_value = "pip_menu" },
            }
                    },
       { n = G.UIT.C, config = { align = "c", padding = 0 },
                        nodes = {
                            { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = "Custom Menu", scale = 0.45, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT } },
                        }
                    },
                   }
                 },
                }
             }
end ```

[rotund sable]

that looks correct

[pale holly]

Thanks i will give it a try 👍

[rotund sable]

maybe change the node with the toggle to column

but other than that its ok

[ripe oak]

I think I'm just going to do the only reasonable thing and keep playing with an old version of steammodded and just copy-pasting functions from the current steammodded when needed

I'm a genius

[pale holly]

yeah it was that, kinda wish i could set it in the absolute middle but that'll do at least, thanks

[gilded goblet]

does anyone know if its possible to change the text on tooltips dynamically?

i wanna change that 2 to a 1 but i dont wanna mess around with the center's config (card.config.center.config.planets = 1), because that'll just make it be 1 for all future cards

[rotund sable]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization#loc_vars

[ashen drift]

why does G.UIT.C fail

[gilded goblet]

can u do that for default cards?

[rotund sable]

oh balatro cards

i think you could take ownership of it

[gilded goblet]

eugh, okay

[rotund sable]

and override the loc_vars

[daring fern]

You would change the value on that card.

[rotund sable]

or that

was it card.ability for it?

[gilded goblet]

card.ability.consumeable.planets = 1 but that doesn't change the text :/

[manic rune]

put a G.UIT.R around G.UIT.T and multiline if it didnt have it already

[gilded goblet]

i mean it does but only after i use it and get another card

that's not rlly what i want

ill see what i can do

[ashen drift]

💔

[manic rune]

whats the code

[ashen drift]

this is multiline

[manic rune]

add a bracket here

its supposed to be a table of nodes, not just one node lol

[ashen drift]

oh yeah thats mb

grand, thank you

[tranquil cypress]

is it possible to make it so a specific joker cant be duplicated by ankh/invisible joker/ anything else that creates a copy of a joker?

[real crown]

Someone using my mod is getting "A bad lovely patch has resulted in this crash."
They're trying to mod it on Steam Deck, does anyone know if there's a compatibility issue there? Other mods are working they say

They claim to be using latest lovely, latest Steammodded too

[ashen drift]

where are these texts rendered?

[red flower]

the screen :3

generate_card_ui makes it, or do you mean something else

[willow scroll]

Specifically next to/under/above the joker

[slim ferry]

how do you mute the dissolve sound effect in SMODS.destroy_cards?

[willow scroll]

Wait does the above orientation exist or am I tripping

[red flower]

no

[manic rune]

they meant how to make the text stylized

i already answered in #⚙・modding-general though lol

[modern kindle]

Hi besties

[manic rune]

hi dilly- what is that pfp

[modern kindle]

Its halloween

So i have my Halloween themed profile

[manic rune]

oh yeah true

[modern kindle]

Ill be back to normal in November until December hits then I must become Christmas dilly

[manic rune]

probably want to do smt to stop the sound from playing here

and in Card:shatter too

[slim ferry]

oh

so start_dissolve can do silent

but SMODS.destroy_cards cant despite using the exact same function with no changes

cool

[manic rune]

silent in question doesnt actually work for the sound in self.skip_destroy_animation specifically lmao

whoever added that probably forgot about it

[ashen drift]

:pensive

[manic rune]

yeah SMODS.localize_box only takes a table of strings

you want to put the entire thing, like

{
  "idk",
  "stuff"
}

i think

[ashen drift]

oh ill just wrap it in a table then

okay

[manic rune]

ohhhhh wait

its more than that lmao

my bad 😭

it takes a table of parsed strings

like, if you print something from G.localization.descriptions you will notice that it has a text_parsed table

[ashen drift]

alright

[manic rune]

so u want to pass the text_parsed table in SMODS.localize_box, if you already have your text in G.localization.descriptions then just grab it from there directly

[ashen drift]

same crash 🥀

[manic rune]

can u check if the text_parsed table exists

[ashen drift]

sure

[manic rune]

huh

weird

gimme a sec

oh i see

gotta iterate through the table too 😭

but yeah afterwards it should give u a table of nodes

[ashen drift]

ah okay

ill go figure again and see if anything fucks up

[manic rune]

its 12:37 am rn so i gotta go sleep, i hope u can figure it out, sorry 😭

[ashen drift]

its 1:37 am here

[manic rune]

dang

good luck 🥀

[ashen drift]

its ok because im on holiday

okay

[jolly shadow]

another instance of not showing the full error and thus not getting full help

[ashen drift]

i guess the stack traceback could be useful

im gonna try using loc_parse_string

oh nvm i see where i fucked up

awesome

[tranquil gull]

hey so i'm wanting to make a lovely only mod (language thing) and i put my stuff in ModName/resources but it's not loading? would i be right in assuming that SMODS is the thing that does that and not lovely

or am i just dumb andthat's not how that works

[slim ferry]

lovely only loads patches from either a lovely folder or a lovely.toml file

[tranquil gull]

no i mean

i'm trying to load an asset

[slim ferry]

uhhhhh

of what kind

[tranquil gull]

love.graphics.newFont oh wait god damn it i probably need to use nfs

[slim ferry]

i mean SMODS.Font exists

but youre not using smods so like

idfk

i dont know love

how do you exclude a card from appearing in a pack?

[lavish elm]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative
how to make this show the hand size description instead the joker slot description?

[slim ferry]

add a check for the card generation source in in_pool (args.source being the key_append from the original create_card call)

[slim ferry]

info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = { set = "Edition", key = "e_negative_playing_card", config = G.P_CENTERS.e_negative.config }

[lavish elm]

thx

[slim ferry]

im not entirely sure if that config works but it should

[long sun]

thanks :D

[slim ferry]

do keep in mind that that only works for excluding specific packs and not packs in general

though usually packs of the same kind use the same key_append

[long sun]

oh ya das fine

i just need to exclude a Joker from Buffoon Packs

is this alright? i won't be able to test if this works easily

its ability is X2 Mult, expensive and i don't want it to appear in packs, as that negates the expensive downside

[slim ferry]

this should work tyeah

[long sun]

sick :3

[faint yacht]

me when

in_pool = function() return false end

[wintry solar]

that looks pretty

[faint yacht]

-# Overlay layer mode go brr.

Same with such.

-# I need to re-do Iron and Tin cards... those look too similiar... and I've been hella working on JokerDisplay compat.

[keen atlas]

[clear ocean]

any reason why the discard message returns an ERROR

[faint yacht]

Quite, actually.

[unkempt rover]

Smods needs to add something that sees the most used consumable (in the run), because I wanted to make a telescope but for tarot but I can't

Does anyone know how to do something like this?

[wind steppe]

Lovely patch or hook whenever a tarot is used to add one to a counter in a table in G.GAME

Then when you find it use pairs to loop through that table and get the highest number

[slim ferry]

SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals = function(run_start)
  if run_start then G.GAME.tarot_usage = {} end
end

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
  if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot" then
    G.GAME.tarot_usage[context.consumeable.config.center.key] = (G.GAME.tarot_usage[context.consumeable.config.center.key] or 0) + 1
  end
end

shouldnt need any hooks i think

[wind steppe]

i forgot about modcalc

[slim ferry]

[clear ocean]

is there a list of allowed types since variable doesn't work but putting in keyword or misc just didnt appear with anything no crash no error nothing

[wind steppe]

should be variable

[clear ocean]

variable returned with ERROR

[keen atlas]

try type text

[wind steppe]

post screenshot of k_gros_discard

in the loc

[wind steppe]

im on mobile

[wind steppe]

Should be in a table i think

like {‘+#1# Discards’}

also should be in v_dictionary

[clear ocean]

okay... ill try

[keen atlas]

try type text

[clear ocean]

v_dictionary?

[wind steppe]

instead of dictionary

[clear ocean]

and do i need to change k_gros_discard to something to like gros_discard or v_gros_discard

I can send you the source and you can tell me if there is a better way but give me a moment

[vale grove]

hey yall, just a quick question,
how do you make a contextcheck for beating a blind in one hand

[clear ocean]

@slim ferry

[slim ferry]

if context.end_of_round and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 1 then

[slim ferry]

what am i meant to be looking at

[clear ocean]

well it worked idk

[slim ferry]

🤷

alr

[vale grove]

bedankt tweeling

[slim ferry]

np twin

[real crown]

Does anyone know why this error may occur? It's working for me perfectly, and it's someone else who's getting this error with the same lovely and Steammodded version:

[vale grove]

for the life of me i cannot figure out how to make this effect only apply on itself and not every card held in hand

[slim ferry]

oh

add and context.main_eval

i forgot that

[vale grove]

nice btw have you played megabonk?

[slim ferry]

yeah

its pretty fun

[vale grove]

did you unlock calcium?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[vale grove]

thats who im making rn lmoa

[slim ferry]

cinema

[vale grove]

i love that guy so much

i just had to add him

[real crown]

@slim ferry do you not know why that LOC_COLOURS error I sent may happen for someone else with the same code and same Steammodded version? It seems so weird and I can't figure it out, they don't have any mod that has conflict either

[slim ferry]

what error

that you sent where

[slim ferry]

okay uh

[slim ferry]

just do loc_colour() at the top of your main file

also

why are you making that function

theres is already a HEX function that does the exact same

[real crown]

Really? Which one?

[slim ferry]

HEX(<colour code>)

[real crown]

Just HEX("")?

Ohhh, didn't know, thank you!

[wind steppe]

thats why i said also v_dictionary

smh

[real crown]

Thank you, the issue is solved with this!
I had it probably it imported from another mod that's why I couldn't find it, but now I managed to reproduce it and that indeed fixed it!

[vale grove]

i was looking at yahimice's VIBE bosslind earlier to see how to up the gamespeed

is it possible for me to put it to 8x without any other mods or thingies

[slim ferry]

i think its possible

though i dont think the game likes it when you go into settings with that

and then change the speed

the game speed is just a number though

so it should work mostly fine

[vale grove]

what im trying to do

if youve ever played yahimice's mod

is put the gamespeed to 8x

and have it stay at 8

which he does in his vibe bossblind with 0,25x

although when reading this its hard to decipher where he puts the gamespeed to 0,25x

[unkempt rover]

@slim ferry how use it now?

SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals = function(run_start)
  if run_start then G.GAME.tarot_usage = {} end
end

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
  if context.using_consumeable and context.consumeable.ability.set == "Tarot" then
    G.GAME.tarot_usage[context.consumeable.config.center.key] = (G.GAME.tarot_usage[context.consumeable.config.center.key] or 0) + 1
  end
end

[slim ferry]

it creates a table of tarot card keys with their usage count

so you can loop over it and get the one with the highest value

[unkempt rover]

Yes, but like, how put a joker or some other thing to create the most used tarot?

[slim ferry]

loop over the table and get the one with the highest value

just like getting the most played hand or whatever

[unkempt rover]

Ok

[clear ocean]

is there a way to make sure that a joker card can only get a certain edition similar to how in vanilla balatro you cannot get a negative playing card

[slim ferry]

try looking at paperback

negative playing cards work differently, poll_edition specifcally has a parameter for no negatives thats used for playing cards

[distant junco]

is there a table of poker hands that can be looked up in game?

[clear ocean]

all i have to do is change e_paperback_dichrome to the editions i don't want playing cards to get (i think laminated and iridence is fine for playing cards, and gamma for playing cars maybe techincally works, but will be completely busted)

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.poker_hands

[distant junco]

sweet!!

[clear ocean]

like this?

[slim ferry]

that probably works

[clear ocean]

im assuming it takes advantage of that for dichrome

[slim ferry]

yeah

looks like it

[clear ocean]

laminated works out of the box but i guess i need to add some edition context for iridescent

i think i make a seperate context or do two contexts like (context.post_joker) or (X) and then

context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play

[slim ferry]

yes but should be context.main_scoring

since its for playing cards

[clear ocean]

along with or replace individual

sorry for the background video listening to emkay in the background

[slim ferry]

replace

[clear ocean]

its done 😈

[umbral zodiac]

anyone know how to add/remove a suit&rank from jokers so that it wont crash (for obvious reasons) when played as a playing card

[distant junco]

are you sure?

[slim ferry]

pretty sure

[distant junco]

it done a crash

[slim ferry]

oh

its G.GAME.hands

oops

[distant junco]

fair enough, thanks!

[clear ocean]

is there a reason why it crashed?

wait i think i know why hold on

[analog spoke]

hey, so, curious here, basic question, but what does ease_discard() do?

Is it possible to force player keep playing hands even after blind's score was met?

[clear ocean]

im not sure why you would want to do that?

ahh, I see, thank you, this is good info

[daring fern]

Yes, there is also a mod about that.

👀

[prisma loom]

wait

can I do it easier

and just every time score is met/overflows, joker sets current score to 'required score - 1'

hmmm

[clear ocean]

made some placeholders

i'm trying to like. make it add x1 mult for each unique planet card used

[atomic edge]

is there a mod that adds a completely new shop you can acess?

[mossy quest]

did you look at the code for Satellite?

[sly fern]

I know this may be a stupid beginner question, but do I need to list Smods as a dependency? The base I downloaded listed an outdated version as a dependency and I replaced it, yet I get an error when I boot it up even though Smods is in the mods file.

is there something I'm missing?

[clear ocean]

"Steamodded (>=VERSION)"

you can do "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~BETA-0827b)" since that's the latest version

[sly fern]

thank you so much

I'm a lil stupid

[clear ocean]

not the most original tag designs but what do you think?

i think these can work at least for alpha

[granite jay]

How do you get the target score for joker scoring?

[frosty rampart]

wdym

[granite jay]

This

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.blind.chips iirc

[winter flower]

how do i make it so that you have to defeat another blind after defeating a blind

[analog spoke]

going to bed soon, but thought I'd ask a question for future me lol (awake me) -
how would one make an enhancement additionally count as a suit, a-la smeared joker?

basically, I'm imagining two different jokers rn, right?
their effects are like this

• Mult cards count as Spades and give +[number] chips
• Mult cards count as Hearts and give +[number] mult
  how would I do this? I'm looking at smeared's code rn but it's a little confusing to me tbh lol heh sdfsdfs

[frosty rampart]

reference the Endless Entropy blinds from Entropy

[frosty rampart]

hook the card:is_suit() function, check the card's enhancement, and then if it's mult, check if the player has the relevant joker. so e.g. in your hook you'd have

if SMODS.has_enhancement(self, "mult") then
  if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_jokerkey1")) and suit == "Spades" then
    return true
  end
  if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_jokerkey2")) and suit == "Hearts" then
    return true
  end
end

[granite jay]

How do you make it so Jokers always trigger after scoring?

like after all jokers are triggered

[frosty rampart]

context.final_scoring_step instead of context.joker_main, but what's your goal?

[granite jay]

Was considering making a joker that triggers if Chips X Mult is under the target score, but thinking about it now maybe half the target score?

Actually I might make it an econ joker idk

Now that I think about it i'll revise the effect.

[frosty rampart]

ah i see

[rancid bridge]

yes. this is how it looks

i originally did literally just the loc_vars section here but with Xmult instead of dollars

and then i realized
"wait if the player hasn't used a singular planet card after picking this up wouldn't it be x0 mult"

[frosty rampart]

we call that a skill issue and leave it in :3

[rancid bridge]

that would be funny...

but Nah Sorry i don't really want somebody's run to be fucked over because they somehow can't find planet cards and are stuck with a x0 mult joker

[rancid bridge]

eh screw it i'm going all in

[analog spoke]

couldn't sleep ndfjksdnkf :<
anyways, lol, uhm, how would I make a hook?
I think I've done it before, but don't really recall what it is at the top of my head dfsdfsd

[frosty rampart]

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

[analog spoke]

mmmm I see I see, not sure if I get it entirely, but might be able to frankenstein something together with this sfsdfsd lol

[frosty rampart]

yea the key is that lua treats functions as variables
so you save a copy of the function you're hooking, overwrite the function to do the custom behavior you want to do, and then once you've checked and it's not in any of your custom behavior you call the old copy of the function from before you overwrote it

[analog spoke]

mmm that's really cool actually!

(honestly, from the little I've learned from modding this game, lua seems insane lmao heheh)

[frosty rampart]

it's fun

now if only they'd implement full custom operator overloading so talisman doesn't have to be complicated as shit [grumble grumble]

[analog spoke]

okey, so, I thought it may've messed something up here lol dnsfksdnfjk caused crash, know what I did wrong here? lol sbfjhsd

[frosty rampart]

1. first line of non-comment code needs to be local card_is_suit_ref = Card.is_suit
2. second line of non-comment code needs to be function Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc). then you need to pass those arguments after self when you call the ref function, not just (self, from_debuff)

(note the capital C in "Card" in the function definition, it's case sensitive)

[analog spoke]

ahh ok, thank you, I'll change this up rq, thanks!

[red flower]

also the enhancement would be m_mult

[frosty rampart]

oops right, that's my bad

[analog spoke]

ahh, thank you!
it works now! :3

[sly fern]

im trying to make it so that the card plays the sfx "guraohno"/add chips/send msg before scoring, then once the cards are scored play "a"/send msg/destroy themselves but the card plays both sfx at the start and dont destroy themselves

how do I give one card 2 different activations for 2 effects/ control the timing (e.g. leave the player on a msg for 3s)

i've tried and but it doesnt seem to work

[jolly shadow]

thats not how you use context.destroy card or play_sound

[sly fern]

ah

[jolly shadow]

if you return a table with the key "sound" set to a sound key, it'll play it

[sly fern]

tbh ive been trying sound/play sound and all that just hoping something works

[jolly shadow]

i.e. ```lua
return {
message = "goodbye",
sound = "guraohno",
chips = card.ability.extra.chips
}

and for the final scoring step one try

return {
  message = "a",
  sound = "a",
  func = function()
    SMODS.destroy_cards({card});
  end
}```

replace the sound values with your sound key

add ur mod's prefix before the sound keys

[sly fern]

Cinema

[honest bridge]

yeah i think im doing it wrong lol

[jolly shadow]

Lmfao

local click_ref = Card.click
function Card:click()
  -- do your check here

  click_ref(self)
end```

[honest bridge]

I may be stupid but what am i doing wrong

[jolly shadow]

It's not supposed to be inside your joker

Nor are you even checking for the key

[honest bridge]

oh

where are they supposed to be then, game.lua?

[honest bridge]

and i completley forgot the key part lol

[jolly shadow]

Below the joker

[honest bridge]

ah lol i tried that at first and thought it didn't work because it had to be in it

I just changed it to apply it to it in my main.lua

[stuck ore]

I have a question about the line "copy_card.states.visible = _" I want the joker to create a copy of a card and send them into the deck as opposed to the hand like many other jokers but this line of text either makes the cards invisible and intangible, or when I set the value to true they became face down. I was curious if there was a way I could establish these cards as being face up without the materilize event because that is only used to visualize adding them to the hand. Okay sorry a lot of words to explain this but I'm basically asking how do I make "copy_card.states.visible" equal to visible (EDIT: I figured out a solution, now worries about responding)

[left sonnet]

Hey folks, I'm very confused right now. I will send 2 snippets of code for an Atlas. The first is the one I was using, the second is the one on the SMods example jokers page, to which I have changed my variables to in the first snippet. The first snippet returns a "attempt to call field 'Atlas' (a nil value)", the second runs no problem, despite looking like the same code to me.

My Atlas
SMODS.Altas {
    key = "ModdedVanilla",
    path = "ModdedVanilla.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95
}
Their Atlas
--Creates an atlas for cards to use
SMODS.Atlas {
    -- Key for code to find it with
    key = "ModdedVanilla",
    -- The name of the file, for the code to pull the atlas from
    path = "ModdedVanilla.png",
    -- Width of each sprite in 1x size
    px = 71,
    -- Height of each sprite in 1x size
    py = 95
}

[shell timber]

your code calls SMODS.Altas and not SMODS.Atlas

you have the t and l swapped

you should probably also change the key and file path

[left sonnet]

Banging my head against the wall rn

Thank you

[left sonnet]

Yes, that was for testing purposes to see if it was a variable name issue, these will be back to their original names

[stuck ore]

While you can use ease_discard() or ease_money() to add either respective thing, how do you add hands?

[red flower]

ease_hands_played

iirc

[stuck ore]

ah

you do remember correctly, and thank you

[faint yacht]

@red flower
-# We doin' it.

[stuck ore]

Just to make sure I'm not being stupid, does "other_card:is_suit("Diamonds")" work for checking if a card is a diamond suit?

[stuck ore]

Holy Xmult

[faint yacht]

And not this?

[stuck ore]

Maybe the people saying modded balatro is unbalanced have some relevancy

[faint yacht]

You'd need to get that many unique enhancements first.

[stuck ore]

oooooooooh

Thats kinda neat

[faint yacht]

Of course, if you add enhancements from other mods, it can be pushed higher.

You'd have to actively seek out unique ones.

[stuck ore]

which in turn creates some fun replayability and interaction

I'd say 100% good design

[faint yacht]

For example, getting this enhancement requires you to get 3 Copper, 1 Silver and 1 Redstone cards drawn in order to alloy them.

...yes, this is inspired from https://teamcofh.com/docs/1.12/thermal-foundation/signalum-blend/ 😛

...or get lucky with this.

[keen atlas]

alloy smelter

[faint yacht]

-# Correct.

[keen atlas]

thats enderio

[faint yacht]

It is, yeah.

[stuck ore]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
if not card.debuff then
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
local diamonds = 0
for _, other_card in ipairs(G.play.cards) do
if other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") then
diamonds = diamonds + 1
end
end
if context.joker_main and diamonds >= 2 then
ease_hands_played(1)
end
end
end

Sorry forgot you can't enter to indent on discord

I want this to check if there are two or more diamonds in the played hand and then give one hand if there is during scoring but instead it either gives nothing or it gives per card scored and I'm not sure which part to change

[red flower]

context.individual and context.joker_main don't happen at the same time, that's why it gives nothing

context.individual already loops through the played hands so that's why sometimes it gives multiple

you want to do that loop in context.joker_main

also not card.debuff does nothing because calculate doesn't run if the card is debuffed

[faint yacht]

@red flower Actually, whilst you're here, mind lending a hand about why the main value doesn't count the retriggers?

calc_function = function(card)
    local text, _, scoring_hand = JokerDisplay.evaluate_hand()
    local hand = JokerDisplay.current_hand
    local totalxmult, percard = 1, 1
    
    if text ~= "Unknown" then
        local usuits, usuitscount = {}, 0
        for _, ccard in pairs(hand) do
            if ccard and not usuits[ccard.base.suit] then usuits[ccard.base.suit] = true; usuitscount = usuitscount + 1 end
        end
        
        if usuitscount >= 2 then
            local suitbonus = usuitscount - 1
            local cumuxmult = 1+card.ability.extra.persuit*suitbonus
            percard = cumuxmult
            for _, scoring_card in pairs(scoring_hand) do
                local retriggers = JokerDisplay.calculate_card_triggers(scoring_card, scoring_hand)
                totalxmult = cumuxmult ^ retriggers
            end
        end
    end
    
    card.joker_display_values.x_mult = totalxmult
    card.joker_display_values.percardxm = percard
end

This counts fine tho.

[red flower]

totalxmult is not accumulating, is that intended?

[stuck ore]

Also sorry I know you are respondng to the other fellow but I'd love clafication on where the arrangement is I feel a little lost

[red flower]

basically just replace context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play for context.joker_main

[wooden nexus]

Hi, sorry, the one coding cards in lovely again.

For some reason my code is making the balance occur BEFORE the chips are scoring,

[faint yacht]

totalxmult = totalxmult * (cumuxmult ^ retriggers) was it.

[stuck ore]

btw thank you a bunch it finally worked the way I envisioned

hm

so an odd thing occured where it doesn't give hands if the cards a debuffed

diamonds = diamonds + 1
end

Again like a moron I forget you can't indent

Is there a way I can make this only check scored cards?

(I'm curious mostly because I can't think of how to resolve the issue where it doesn't work when the diamond cards are debuffed and I can just make this a feature if i just push it a little)

[faint yacht]

other_card:is_suit("Diamonds", true) as Card:is_suit(suit, bypass_debuff, flush_calc)

[stuck ore]

um sorry I'm foolish but how should I write that into the code?

[slim ferry]

loop over context.scoring_hand

instead of G.play.cards

[faint yacht]

other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") > other_card:is_suit("Diamonds", true), simply.

Thanks a bunch everybody it is perfecto

Hello again folks, I'm trying to make my first Joker for a friend and I've ran into another issue. Did some digging in the server but it seems to be a pretty wide range of issues.

Written effect: If scoring hand contains 2 or more Aces (an upside down W), gain x0.23 Mult (Currently x1)
Additional effects: Plays FlightReacts saying LeBron and displaying "CHAT IS THIS REAL?" text

Issue: "attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'ace_count' (a nil value)" when scoring hand has an ace.

config = {extra = {Xmult = 1, Xmult_gain = 0.23, ace_count = 0}},
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult, card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain, card.ability.extra.ace_count}}
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                print("Contexting"),
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_xmult', vars = { card.ability.extra.Xmult } },
                Xmult_mod = card.ability.extra.Xmult
            }
        end

        
        if not card.debuff then
            if
                context.cardarea == G.play
                and context.individual
                and context.other_card:get_id() == 14
                and not context.blueprint
            then
                card.ability.extra.ace_count = card.ability.extra.ace_count + 1
                print("In play, individual card, Aces: " + card.ability.extra.ace_count)
            end
            if context.joker_main and card.ability.extra.ace_count >= 2 then
                print ("More than 2 aces, W")
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.Xmult + card.ability.extra.Xmult_gain
                return {
                    print("returning it"),
                    message = "CHAT IS THIS REAL?",
                    play_sound('LeBronScream'),
                    colour = G.C.MULT,
                    card = card
                }
            end
            if context.end_of_round then
                card.ability.extra.ace_count = 0
            end
        end
    end

My first thought was that config wasn't adding it to the extras in card.ability but to assume the Steamodded code is broken rather than mine is daft

next(context.poker_hands['Royal Flush'])
how to check for Royal Flush?

[next timber]

looking at the vanillaremade implementation of the tags, what do these things mean?

whats the locks thing, and what does the yep function do?

[left sonnet]

yep

[next timber]

ok nvm i found the docs for the yep function

still confused about the lock variables though

[left sonnet]

You've got it man

You just put it in an if

[lavish elm]

yeah but it crashes it says nil

[left sonnet]

That will very unlikely be the issue

[slim ferry]

no

royal flush isnt actually a hand

its just a different name for straight flush code-wise

[left sonnet]

Ah right, didn't notice that too

[slim ferry]

you need to check it differently

[lavish elm]

welp time to add the hand my self then

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.handname == localize("Royal Flush", "poker_hands")

this works

cryptid does it like this

[lavish elm]

oh ok thx

[slim ferry]

only works if it is a royal flush but like

i cant think of a situation where a hand contains one but isnt a royal flush

SMODS.Voucher {
    key = 'slide',
        loc_txt= {
        name = 'Slide',
        text = {
        "Gain {C:money}#1#${} per skip",
        "{s:0.8,C:inactive}(By itself, it feels incomplete.){}",
    }
},
    atlas = 'slider',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { dollar = 5 } },
     loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.dollar}  }
    end,
    
    redeem = function(self, card)
        check_for_unlock({ 'slide_redeemed' })
    end,
             calculate = function(self, card,context)
               if context.skip_blind and not context.blueprint then
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollar
                end
             end
}

My voucher won't give me any money when skipping blind, not sure why

[left sonnet]

Gonna try throw in a pcall cause I'm not sure what the specific way to solve this in, then go from there

[daring fern]

return {dollars = card.ability.extra.dollar}

[pale holly]

damit no wonder, thanks

[slim ferry]

your issue is that you arent defining card.ability.extra.ace_count before adding to it

also, you should use a local variable for that

[left sonnet]

Does config not do that by default? Or did I misunderstand the description of it?

[slim ferry]

oh

nevermind

hm

[left sonnet]

Also where would this be hypothetically? I'm not familiar with how calculate loops for example

[slim ferry]

just do local ace_count = 0 at the start of the calculate

and then use that to count the aces

[next timber]

how do i make SMODS.add_card give a perishable joker? i tried stickers = {perishable = true} but that doesnt seem to add the sticker

[tranquil cypress]

You would do this inside the smods.add_card thing ( i think)

stickers = { "perishable" },
force_stickers = true

[queen meadow]

safe to assume that there's no check for when a seal is triggered right?

[slim ferry]

not without manually adding compat for every seal, no

[stuck ore]

So I'm having an issue with this joker that isn't triggering at all and I am very confused because out of curiousity I gutted it and replaced the code with a joker from the vanilla remade jokers and it still didn't trigger so I was curious if there was anything obviously wrong with the code

config = { extra = {mult = 10, chips = 30, money = 3, type = 'Three of a Kind' } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.money, localize(card.ability.extra.type, 'poker_hands') } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands[card.ability.extra.type]) then
return {
mult = card.ability.extra.mult,
chips = card.ability.extra.chips,
money = card.ability.extra.money,
}
end
end,
}

[slim ferry]

please smods give me post_trigger for non-jokers and my life is yours
