I’d ping mods but they’d end up banning me with the moderation here

hardy viper
#

it's probably legal according to licenses but you'll be ostracized from the community here if you decide to train AI off people's mods

wind steppe

I advise you stop the AI stuff immediately

pseudo furnace
#

Is there a way to not use recursive scripts to reduce lag? This script is just detecting the highest possible hand type to be played but it's very laggy 🥲

image_16.png
daring fern
pseudo furnace
pseudo furnace
daring fern
wintry solar
#

just do G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.cards)

#

that'll give you the theoretical best hand you can play

tepid crow
#

yeah why are you trying to recreate something that already exists in the game?

pseudo furnace
wintry solar
#

if it says straight flush you can play a straight flush

#

afaik

pseudo furnace
#

I tested it but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work

#

Like all the cards together fulfill that req but 5 cards cannot

wintry solar
#

that'll probably be because of how the game decides what a straight flush is

#

in that a straight exists and a flush exists rather than them containing the same cards

#

because of four fingers

tepid crow
pseudo furnace
#

Same with some of the secret hands

wintry solar
#

What's the reason for doing this, anyway?

pseudo furnace
#

Oh just a blind effect

versed swan
#

Unless I forgot

frosty rampart
#

a straight hand is quite literally a hand that contains both a straight and a flush
if the minimum length for a straight and a flush is less than the number of cards played, the straight and flush don't have to fully overlap

#

you can see this in vanilla with four fingers

tepid crow
#

like Meta said, you can see this with 4 fingers

wintry solar
#

nah I tested and xstep is correct

frosty rampart
#

i assume xstep wants to have some blind effect when you play the best possible poker hand in your drawn hand, but it shouldn't count a straight flush if you can't actually play that straight flush

wintry solar
#

if there exists a straight and a flush, even if they don't overlap, the function says straight flush

tepid crow
#

Is that not how balatro defines it?

distant junco
#

yeah it is

wintry solar
#

yeah but that only works because vanilla never expects more than 5 cards

frosty rampart
#

that is correct
the issue here is that an 8-card hand can count as a straight flush without necessarily containing a 5-card straight flush
and xstep wants to find the best possible 5-card hand (or whatever the selection limit is) within your drawn 8-card hand (or whatever the hand size is)

tepid crow
wintry solar
#

the problem comes from running it on more than 5 cards

#

the straight flush detection should probably be altered here imo

tepid crow
#

to at least an overlap between the straight and flush supposedly?

wintry solar
#

I think the total number of unique cards should check to see if it's less than the play limit

wintry swallow
#

do you guys know any useful resources that i can use to make my own mods

frosty rampart
wintry swallow
#

great

obsidian spear
#

how do I make a consumable that spawns jokers spawn any joker, even if u own it already

#

any joker from a specific pool*

red flower
#

(i dont remember if it got merged)

frosty rampart
#

looking at the github this is indeed the case, i assume it's in the latest release?
anyway add allow_duplicates = true as an argument to the table in your add_card call

wintry swallow

#

How do I check for what deck the player is on? I want to check if they're on painted deck

tepid crow
#

G.GAME.selected_back iirc

#

Thank you!

#

Why the crash?

code for the consumable

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound('timpani')
                SMODS.add_card({ set = 'BitterJokers', allow_duplicates = true })
                card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                return true

hands should be the table with all the least played hands.

twilit tundra
#

what animation is used for a card when it "triggers"? (e.g. a joker giving mult, a card scoring...)
is it card:juice_up()? or some other function?
also, how do I add the little diamond that pops up saying what happened?

#

is there a function for making that appear

daring fern

depending on the animation it might have some parameters

losing my fucking mind im convinced this function was actually designed to troll me or something

                            local neg_chips = hand_chips * -1
                            update_hand_text({ sound = 'chips2', modded = true }, { chips = 'wawa'..neg_chips})
                        end
                        else update_hand_text({ sound = 'chips2', modded = true }, { chips = hand_chips})```

this, will correctly display wawa[number] at the chips.
**however**. 
if i change the text to '-'
it suddenly stops working

however however
if i literally just have chips = '-wawa' it. 
does work?????

i've also been able to eval it with debugplus to say a minus sign and then a number, but never with actual code?????


fig.1: chips = 'wawa'..neg_chips
fig.2: chips = '-wawa'
fig.3: chips = '-'..neg_chips
fig.4 debugplus eval being able to set it correctly though??????

Hi hi hello friends
im working on a new poker hand that only works if you have a certain joker
right now im stuck on making the description, here's the code

    key = "franklin",
    mult = 8,
    chips = 101,
    l_mult = 16,
    l_chips = 200,
    example = {
        { 'S_K', true }, 
        { 'S_9', true },
        { 'D_9', true},
        { 'H_6', true },
        { 'D_3', true }
    },
    evaluate = function(parts, hand)
        return parts._highest
    end,
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'The Franklin',
    descriptions = {
        misc = {
            poker_hand_descriptions = { 
            ["clo_franklin"] =  'See?' },
            poker_hands = { 
            ["clo_franklin"] = 'The Franklin' },
        }
    }
}
    }```
right now it crashes when you try to hover over it, with the error that 'line' is a nil value
which im confused about because line isnt mentioned here
any advice?

the parameter that you're using is currently called card in the function, try just renaming it to blind

#

do i really need to do something stupid like inserting a zero width space

#

to make it not parsed as a number

#

or some shit

viscid talon
#

o hm

#

oke

normal crest
#

i'm not sure if the string being parsed as a number is actually the issue

twilit tundra
#

then what is?

#

because '-'..'100' works perfectly fine

#

so literally

#

what could it possibly be

normal crest
#

i mean that would still be parsed as a number

#

which is why I don't think it's the issue

twilit tundra

so then

#

what is the issue?

and also how my test of doing anything except for a - added to the number, doesn't cause issues

normal crest
#

okay I had copied the code incorrectly

#

now I will test

twilit tundra
#

ok

#

make sure to use a hand worth less than 20 base chips (e.g high card) for the test

#

so it actually goes negative

twilit tundra
#

oh wait no its actually just skipping negchips2 completely

ok it should still be fine its just redundant

hi again gang
im trying to create a hand that only is playable if a certain joker is there
i have found some mods that do this, but they all do it in different ways and none of them seem to work
here is my code for both the joker and the poker hand:

    key = "franklinjoker",
    loc_txt = { name = 'Benjamin Franklin',
    text = { 'Invents a move called',
    '{C:attention}The Franklin{}'}
    },
    pos = { x = 2, y = 3 },
    atlas = 'franklinjoker',
    blueprint_compat = true,
    rarity = 1,
    cost = 3,
}

SMODS.PokerHand {
    key = "franklin",
    mult = 8,
    chips = 100,
    l_mult = 16,
    l_chips = 200,
    example = {
        { 'S_K', true }, 
        { 'S_9', true },
        { 'D_9', true },
        { 'H_6', true },
        { 'D_3', true }
    },

    evaluate = function(parts, hand)
        if next(SMODS.find_card("clo_franklinjoker")) then --- This part checks if the player has the joker
        if jokers and #jokers > 0 then
            return parts._5
        end
        return false
    end
end,
    loc_txt = {
        name = "The Franklin",
        description = {
            "Any five cards"

How would I go about making a joker that shows/names the next three blinds? I'm guessing that's not something predetermined, so I could maybe decide the blinds beforehand, and then force the next blinds to be those? idk where to start with this.

    return {
        message = 'random message,
        colour = G.C.MULT,
        sound = "GI_TacoBell"
    }
end```
I'm trying to have this joker play a special sound effect instead of the regular mult sound, but when I just define the sound in my mult return nothing happens. 
I know it's not an issue with the sound itself too because it works fine in the second example where it's a custom message I'm returning.
Am I missing something stupid? I didn't see anything special I needed to do in the smods documentation, and using replace = in the sound effect doesn't work because I only want it to affect this one joker.
I also tried just using play_sound() in the function but then it plays as soon as the calculation starts which isn't ideal.

hook the set cost function and make it not assign a price if it's relevant

pastel kernel
hushed field
#

i'm sure there are potential scenarios in which you'd prefer to wrap a hook into a joker definition

#

but that's not what I'm suggesting

#

literally just hook it. if it's legendary and in the shop and that joker exists, make it free

pastel kernel
hushed field
#

What do you mean?

#

You don't know how to check if a joker is legendary?

pastel kernel
#

actually i've rarely ever used rarity checking

#

or i've never used it at all

#

so i'm not familiar

hushed field
#

I don't know the syntax by heart, my guy, I don't see why I'd be the one checking it when you can just check baseball card and see how something like that works

pastel kernel
#

this is what i didlua if context.other_joker and (context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == 4 or context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == "Legendary") then if G.shop_jokers then for _, card in pairs(G.shop_jokers.cards) do card.ability.couponed = true card:set_cost() end end end

#

frankensteined asf

hushed field
#

Is couponed a pre existing thing that makes cards free?

#

Also very much recommend to not use function parameters as variable names for loops. Makes code way less readable and way more likely for something to slip by you

pastel kernel
#

a lot of tags use it actually

hushed field
#

Ah

#

Okay, so, I really recommend you just mess around with contexts work because you seem to consistently use them entirely arbitrarily

#

Or I might be out of my depth and context.other_joker also triggers when the shop is rerolled

#

do i just add G.shop_jokers in the giant context pillar?

gee golly, what am i doing wrong

I just said what you're doing wrong

But I recommend just rubber duckying, making some dummy code and trying stuff with print statement debugging to figure out how the code handles itself, because I'm not sure I'm the right person to help you. You seem to rarely really pay attention to what I try to explain to you.

are you trying to set legendaries (if they somehow appear in shop) free

pastel kernel

i don't actually know a lot of lua, people just tell me what shit is and i just roll with it, hoping it works.

hushed field
#

Anyway, I really really recommend rereading the smods wiki page on the calculate functions, so you can refamiliarize yourself with contexts. Also, remember that tools like VanillaRemade exist. Barely anyone here actually knows a lot of these things by heart, so very often if you ask someone how to do something that happens in vanilla, you're just having someone else check their dump, or the source code, or vanillaremade, etc.

or through a get_current_pool

Maybe try to actually learn lua a bit if you're working with it for a project, though. Otherwise you're just hoping other people will respond to your questions often enough so that they write your code for you. And you won't be able to debug it yourself either

gilded blaze

1.5 years of Lua affected my perspective on other languages

If you're unsure of how to make an effect work, do it piece by piece. Just one if statement at the time, without stacking them, and see if it's still going well.

hardy viper
hushed field
#

It doesn't help to tell yourself you don't know a language and just accept that as fact. Its your own responsibility to learn and it's not gonna happen if you just decide you don't know something.

#

Allow yourself to learn the modding framework a bit, because it's a lot more fun to make mods if you can be just the slighest bit confident in what you're typing. I barely know Lua either, as literally all my knowledge of it is through balatro mods

i fear i would lose one in trade for another

I give up, man

figure it out or don't

my apologies for probably reacting a bit stronger than necessary btw

familiarize yourself by looking at other mods (this is usually easier for perculiar effects not available in smods)
slowly expand your knowledge about how balatro works as you progress

for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do

end
return true

}))
end,
check_for_unlock = function(self, args) -- equivalent to unlock_condition = { type = 'discover_amount', planet_count = 12 }
return args.type == 'discover_amount' and #G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Planet <= args.planet_count
end
}

local card_set_cost_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
card_set_cost_ref(self)
if next(SMODS.find_card("j_vremade_astronomer")) then
if (self.ability.set == 'Planet' or (self.ability.set == 'Booster' and self.config.center.kind == 'Celestial')) then self.cost = 0 end -- I just wanna know how i should change this one
self.sell_cost = math.max(1, math.floor(self.cost / 2)) + (self.ability.extra_value or 0)
self.sell_cost_label = self.facing == 'back' and '?' or self.sell_cost
end
end```

gusty compass
#

jokers have a rarity attached to them, maybe you can see where the rarity is located?

gilded blaze
#

somehow I saw a different way without hooking

pastel kernel
#

all i'm really doing is frankensteining from multiple mods

#

if legendaries do spawn in the shop in your mod here, you can use baseball card's code and check whether the shop item is a Joker and it is a rarity of 4 (i think thats legendary)

i'm confused about what you're trying to do in context.individual, but the context.after part looks mostly fine. you should switch it to joker_main (or final_scoring_step if you absolutely want to give the xmult at the very end of scoring), and currently it gives xmult if you played at least 2 cards and at least one of them is not an ace

#

ok so, im trying to make the game play a sound effect

#

problem is, jokerforge's sound thing is a bit busted

#

so now im trying to figure out how to fix it

#

this is sounds.lua

    key="mega",
    path="hatch_mega.ogg",
    pitch=0.7,
    volume=0.6,
}```
#

but it doesnt work

#

the game cant find it

frosty rampart
#

in the play_sound call (or wherever you're putting the sound's key), you need to add your mod's prefix to the sound key. i.e. if your prefix is "hatchet", it'd be play_sound("hatchet_mega"), not just play_sound("mega")

viscid talon
#

ok so i found out it is indeed a recent jokerforge bug

#

but yeah i did it and it doesnt work

viscid talon
frosty rampart
#

did you rename the actual file too

#

the path needs to match the filename exactly

viscid talon
#

yeah

viscid talon
frosty rampart
#

oh wait
the sounds folder needs to be inside your mod's assets folder

#

@viscid talon

viscid talon
#

doing that rn

#

i got the same error

image.png
frosty rampart
#

i looked in the github for your mod
your mod prefix is "hatchet", not "hatch"

#

it needs to be play_sound("hatchet_mega")

viscid talon

thats an older version

#

the prefix has been changed to "hatch"

i've hooked Card:start_dissolve to save the info of the last destroyed playing card to various game run variables, and i want this joker to return a message containing the destroyed card's value and suit as a message when it's destroyed, which it does but a step short. basically what it does is it returns the previous destroyed card's info, not the most recent destroyed card's info. how would i rewrite this to make it update with the most recent card's info?

if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then
    if G.GAME.last_destroyed_card_value ~= nil and G.GAME.last_destroyed_card_suit ~= nil then

^ seals save their ability table to card.ability.seal

got it thanks everyone

so it can use the last destroyed card even if you don't have the joker

it's the run's last destroyed card

red flower
#

ok but why there

crystal perch
#

for simplicity's sake so i can just use the same vars everywhere, but i spose i could just use the context's values

red flower
#

also start_dissolve doesn't work with glass cards

afaik

let me test that rq

i was already hooking dissolve for jokers so i just use the same hook

daring fern
#

And save self:save() to one global variable instead of a lot of global variables.

#

Also put your mod prefix on the variable.

crystal perch
#

alright

daring fern
#

And you just do message = G.GAME.modprefix_last_destroyed_card.base.name

Hello, I have a joker that upgrades when a card is scored, I currently have a message for when the joker upgrades and im trying to play a sound along with the message however I want this sounds' pitch to be unaffected by the amount of time elapsed during scoring and to change the volume. trying to return a function or adding an event in the return function plays the sound only once when scoring starts and returning an event with a function within it results in the sound timing being offset by other jokers that affect playing cards

daring fern
#

Put the event in a func

its an improvement but this method delays the sound until the next joker card scores

How do you completely remove a poker hand type until a certain condition

hardy vessel
reef belfry
#

In the base game

hardy vessel
#

If that's the case, first thing would probably be taking ownership then updating the evaluate function

red flower
#

also SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible if you also want to hide it from the menu

Trying to works with quantum enhancements with the idea of the enhancement changing every round (like Ancient Joker with suits). I have that part down, with my only issue now being actually applying the enhancement. G.GAME.current_round.gowild_wild_joker.enhancement stores the enhancement's key. (I'll get to apply locations later, I want to focus on getting the enhancement to apply first). I'm not sure what should be in the return, if there is a solution at all

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card:has_enhancement("m_wild") and context.cardarea == G.play then
            local enhancement = (G.GAME.current_round.gowild_wild_joker or {}).enhancement or 'm_mult'
            return {
                G.P_CENTERS[enhancement] = true,
            }
        end
    end,

im still struggling with this code D:
im just trying to get the idol but i cant figure out how to get it to actually trigger

    key = "luigi",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Find Luigi',
        text = {
            'One random card in',
            'your deck will give',
            '{X:mult,C:white} X3 {} Mult when scored',
            '{s:0.8}Card changes every round'
        },
    },
    pos = { x = 1, y = 4 },
    atlas = 'luigi',
    rarity = 3,
    blueprint_compat = true,
    cost = 5,
    config = { extra = { xmult = 3 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local idol_card = G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card or { rank = 'Ace', suit = 'Spades' }
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.xmult, localize(idol_card.rank, 'ranks'), localize(idol_card.suit, 'suits_plural'), colours = { G.C.SUITS[idol_card.suit] } } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and
            context.other_card:get_id() == G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card.id and
            context.other_card:is_suit(G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card.suit) then
            return {
                xmult = card.ability.extra.xmult
            }
        end
    end
}

local function reset_clo_idol_card()
    G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card = { rank = 'Ace', suit = 'Spades' }
    local valid_idol_cards = {}
    for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
        if not SMODS.has_no_suit(playing_card) and not SMODS.has_no_rank(playing_card) then
            valid_idol_cards[#valid_idol_cards + 1] = playing_card
        end
    end
    local idol_card = pseudorandom_element(valid_idol_cards, 'clo_idol' .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante)
    if idol_card then
        G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card.rank = idol_card.base.value
        G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card.suit = idol_card.base.suit
        G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card.id = idol_card.base.id
    end
end```
#

i have tried every combination of adding my prefix (clo), changing the idol key to something else, keeping either

#

nothing seems to work :(

that splash screen is Fire_RS

#

that first thing is what im trying to figure out
how do i define G.GAME.current_round.clo_idol_card
and for 2 no not yet i wanted to make sure the card actually works before getting to resetting every round
but i understand if thats the problem

#

omg yeah it was the second thing LMAO

#

ok find luigi now functions
ill need to buff it though because finding him is very difficult

I should have seen this kind of thing coming given how heavily Balatro uses shaders, but this still awes me

#

how do you check in a file if its being loaded from SMODS.include_file?

tired kestrel
#

trying to apply the pixel reaolution to the shader but it ends up like this.

tired kestrel
#

though kinda wished maybe you can like have custom splash screens and backgrounds

# 
    unlocked = false,
    locked_loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { 18 } }
    end,
    check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
        return args.type == 'discover_amount' and #G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Spectral <= args.spectral_count
    end

would this be safe to check if the player has discovered all spectral cards, or should i just directly compare against 18 within the unlock function
