i have no idea
it retriggers a lot of things though
that arent jokers
so mayb
slim ferry

you can still just use #1# and such
gusty compass
It returns nil in the edition code so I'm a bit skeptical

I fixed one of them

and itll use the variables passed into localize

ok the joker functionally does nothing
tired kestrel
dunno just said weird that this doesn't do it ehat I exactly thought.
yeah
but at the same time is there a way a proper way to do this?
slim ferry
just do next(SMODS.find_card("j_four_fingers")) and "Four" or "Five" in the loc_vars return
instead of having strings in the config
obsidian spear
pretty please help, I just wanna know why its doing that

you should hook the smods enhancement functions to check for the rank

tired kestrel
it works like text colours
so if I want to ask if I want to like make the bottom box to be black only the bottom box, how do I do it?
since box_colours is something I didn't try before
red flower
i think it was vars = { box_colours = { nil, nil, nil, G.C.BLACK } }
tired kestrel
i think it was `vars = { box_colours = { nil, nil, nil, G.C.BLACK } }`
and this would be placed in the loc_txt right?
(just wanna make sure)

Folks, let's say I want to make a new Rank and any card with that rank always has a certain quantum enhancement by default (my custom enhancement)
How would the hook for it look like?
That's what Im working with
(UPD)
cerulean rose
instead of hooking check enhancement directly, you should add a mod calculate with the quantum enhancement context
also for rank checking do card.base.value == "rank_key"
tired kestrel
somehow {F:key} didn't work.
how do you apply emojis to a font that doesn't have it?

instead of using a local variable inside calculate you should store the value in the card's ability table
obsidian spear

{n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm"}, nodes={ {n = G.UIT.T, config = {align= "cm", text = time, colour = G.C.WHITE, scale = 0.75 }}, }}

how do i ban a group of boosters in a challenge
twilit tundra
hey, this doesn't retrigger anything, what did I do wrong?
as its a local, once it leaves the calculate function that variable ceases to exist. since it can't be both context.setting_blind and context.repetition at the same time, that means whenever it checks the id, it'd simply be nil
like said earlier, just storing it elsewhere so it still exists fixes this

why does this not remove the specified consumable k from the consumable pool after being used? (k is from a custom consumable set)

i have it running in a loop for every hand to planet and to its respective unlock consumable (p is for planets, which is added after unlocking and works just fine)

how do you make it so discards give money under SMODS.current_mod.calculate

ignore the deck.cards part of that screenshot
each table can have those 5 keys
suit and rank are needed
wooden nexus
I'm gonna make a while loop so that it goes through giving a random rank/suit and then adds stone to them (until i get 13 cards)
turbid maple
how do you make it so discards give money under SMODS.current_mod.calculate
like, discarding cards gives money?
reef belfry
no, like remaining hands at the end of the round
normal crest
in the cash out screen?
normal crest
you wouldn't use calculate for that no
turbid maple
i remember lovely patching for cashout effects idk if smods has stuff built in for that
normal crest
i don't know if there's a global version of it, but jokers have a function dedicated for it
turbid maple
also does your mod just do this unconditionally
reef belfry
yes
well technically yes
there is a condition but its under using a consumable once
turbid maple
this sounds like a voucher with extra steps
daring fern
there is a condition but its under using a consumable once
Yes, you would have to patch G.FUNCS.evaluate_round
normal crest
you will have to patch like somethingcom said, it's in state_events.lua in that function
wooden nexus
```lua
G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards = {
{ s = 'H', r = '2' },
{ s = 'C...
So s = "H", r = "2", e = "m_stone"
right?
normal crest
that looks correct, does it work?
wooden nexus
lemme test
Oh my gosh it works
Well...
now there's a new problem
each refresh, it seems like it won't change
if self.effect.config.stone_total then
local i = 0
local suits = {"H", "C", "S", "D"}
local ranks = {"A", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K"}
local extras = G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards or {}
for i = 1, self.effect.config.stone_total do
local stone = {
s = pseudorandom_element(suits, pseudoseed('StoneSuit' .. i)),
r = pseudorandom_element(ranks, pseudoseed('StoneRank' .. i)),
e = 'm_stone'
}
table.insert(extras, stone)
end
G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards = extras
end```When are you doing this?
wooden nexus
Back:apply_to_run
normal crest
wdym by each refresh btw
are you starting a new run each time
also a better way of picking a suit and rank would be pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, "seed").card_key
wooden nexus
specifically "seed" like that?
wooden nexus
so "pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Suits, "StoneSuit).card_key"?
normal crest
you're missing a quote there but yes
wooden nexus
and same for ranks
normal crest
yes
wooden nexus
Let's try again then
btw i have a separate list for vanilla ranks and suits (the ones I want in this case so that's why i'm not using the smods.suits/ranks)
but one sec
hm...
wonder if it's because I put T instead of 10
one moment
nope
normal crest
btw i have a separate list for vanilla ranks and suits (the ones I want in this ...
I guess if you don't want any compatibility with modded ranks and suits what you did is fine
wooden nexus
doesn't matter, i tried your method and it still has the same outcome
Every time i refresh
normal crest
So every time you start a run with that deck you get the same cards
wooden nexus
yes
normal crest
you're not starting a seeded run right
wooden nexus
function Back:apply_to_run()
if self.effect.config.stone_total then
local i = 0
local suits = {"H", "C", "S", "D"}
local ranks = {"A", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K"}
local extras = G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards or {}
for i = 1, self.effect.config.stone_total do
local stone = {
s = pseudorandom_element(suits, pseudoseed('StoneSuit' .. i)),
r = pseudorandom_element(ranks, pseudoseed('StoneRank' .. i))
e = 'm_stone'
}
table.insert(extras, stone)
end
G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards = extras
end
Correct
normal crest
cus I can't really think of why that'd be happening
wooden nexus
is there a way to have a string be constantly randomizing?
normal crest
Wait, do you get more and more cards every time you start a run
wooden nexus
no it's the same 13 stone cards
normal crest
uhh, can you try s = suits[math.random(1, #suits)] and same with rank, that should make it fully random
just to see if the problem is with pseudorandom_element here
normal crest
it won't work for seeded runs no
wooden nexus
So we closed one problem but opened another
what if pseudorandom_element but instead of "StoneSuit"...
normal crest
```lua
function Back:apply_to_run()

how could i like pull from a fork of smods that isnt merged yet to use that code's functionality in my code ?

mystic river
why does this joker turn every card lucky?
because that code means "when a card is scored, iterate over the scoring hand and turn each card lucky if the card just scored was a king"
if you're trying to turn just that one king lucky you don't need to iterate over the scoring hand at all, just set ability directly on context.other_card

mystic river
im trying to have a joker pick a random joker
you don't need to understand what a seed does on a deep level for that
just know that it's a convention that all random events get their own seed string
I'll explain it anyway if you want, though
golden field
I'll explain it anyway if you want, though
please explain
i dont rlly get this
if i make a new random event, does that mean i make a new seed string
mystic river
basically, computers can't actually do randomness, so instead they do complicated math to be unpredictable
the seed gets fed into the complicated math to get a specific series of unpredictable numbers
also for balatro specifically, each type of random event gets its results from its own specific series of random numbers, so that e.g. "what order you draw your deck in" doesn't disrupt "what jokers the shop has"
what people usually do for a seed string is just say what they're doing
i think there's examples of this in the vanilla code too

what people usually do for a seed string is just say what they're doing

Welp... this is fun to work aorund with.
(also the colors would be adapted soon just right now I'm testing out about how it would look with game-accurate boxes)
tired kestrel
However there was this issue.
there is a limit on this which is the 500 limit.
but overall it only does if you only have 3 of a kind
though I know people are going to like over tops the stuff so I had set up a limit of 500 since in the oriignal DOS game the Gin game had the limit of winning scores from 100 to 500 and I picked the maximum one though I'd be happy to set it back to 100
crisp coral
whats the 500 limit
tired kestrel
but overall I don't think it would be overpowered as long as you kept looking for three of a kind or four of a kind.
tired kestrel
whats the 500 limit
I haven't tried it.

okay i'm very confused
crisp coral
same
long sun
so like
crisp coral
why do you have an arbitrary limit not listed on the card
long sun
i assume that joker gives you X12 Mult if you play a hand containing a 3oak
and gains X3 Mult when doing that 3 times
that, in itself, is Legendary
and a high Legendary, at that
crisp coral
hell that's an Epic
long sun
honestly ya true

(because cryptid epics are better than legendaries go figure

I mean, honestly I tried to apply sometihng about Gin Rummy

X500 Mult for an Uncommon is.
a bit absurd, don't you think

I know but right now I have most of the new jokers as uncommons but I might change the rarity
but right now I think I'm foing mosto f the fun of trying to like goinf for pin-point accuracy of game dialouges
Cause I had one idea of a joker being themed after a game I can make it obvious more if I also replicate more from the kind of dialouge as well as the style of it

Sorry to interrupt the current conversation but I have some questions. I want to make a mod that adds jokers and maybe consumables and other things, like vouchers, etc. I have modding experience in more... dynamic platforms, like in The Elder Scrolls Construction Set, but I have never modded in a code-based system directly. Is there any video tutorial or similar resource anyone could recommend to me to start out with to learn the basics of modding Balatro?
twilit tundra

just cdataman

yeah it takes a bit to boot up cuz its gotta measure everything
versed swan
and in my case?
I don't think you should be using an event; by the time that event runs, the game has already skimmed through the (undefined) G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards table and finished initialization
The reason why the other self.effect.config checks involve an event is because they need to wait for the run to finish initializing to modify cards and whatnot
Back:apply_to_run is called before G.GAME.starting_params.extra_cards is checked

I'm making a spreadsheet (cuz I'm a nerd) to plan out all Joker/Consumable effects before I start coding anything because I need to know what I'm coding, and one of the Joker effects is going to be "When played hand contains a five of a kind destroy all cards held in hand" so the Four Fingers integration is really important

actually taking a look at the code, it can be written differently; asking for clarification, you're trying to add some amount of stone cards in the default deck?
twilit tundra
Ohhhh sweet sweet thank you!!
oh and also heres some code for runner, although you might want a later context than context.before depending on whether you want it to trigger stuff like steel cards before the cards get destroyed
key = "runner",
blueprint_compat = true,
perishable_compat = false,
rarity = 1,
cost = 5,
pos = { x = 3, y = 10 },
config = { extra = { chips = 0, chip_mod = 15 } },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.chips, card.ability.extra.chip_mod } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.before and not context.blueprint and next(context.poker_hands['Straight']) then
-- See note about SMODS Scaling Manipulation on the wiki
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips + card.ability.extra.chip_mod
return {
message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
colour = G.C.CHIPS,
}
end
if context.joker_main then
return {
chips = card.ability.extra.chips
}
end

is that the function when you enter the blind selection screen
normal crest
Game:update_blind_select creates the blind selection UI if that's what you're looking for
frosty rampart
oh yeah i did that, i meant the actual code, and yes i want it to track before. ...
step 1: add this function to your mod
function SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals(run_start)
if run_start then
G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult = 0
end
end
(replace modprefix with your mod's actual prefix, just so that you don't accidentally collide with any other global variables. do not replace current_mod, it should literally be current_mod)
this sets a global variable in G.GAME to 0 at the start of the run
step 2: add this to your mod's global calculate function (add one if you don't have it yet)
function SMODS.current_mod.calculate(self, context)
-- potentially other stuff if you already have a mod calc function
if context.after then
if mult > G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult then
G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult = mult
end
end
-- potentially more other stuff
end
step 3: G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult will always be the highest mult this run
umbral spire
step 1: add this function to your mod
```lua
function SMODS.current_mod.reset_ga...
wowza, thanks!
final jewel
`Game:update_blind_select` creates the blind selection UI if that's what you're ...
um I'm looking for when you enter the blind selection. I want to hook that function so it check if you have a certain set of joker and if so creating a another one
frosty rampart
no need to hook
use a mod calculate and do the thing in context.ending_shop
final jewel
yeah but its not on a joker
final jewel
like I can do it on a pool ?
umbral spire
step 1: add this function to your mod
```lua

so would this be in my main file? like:
local thecloset = SMODS.current_mod
...other stuff in between...
function thecloset.reset_game_globals(run_start)
if run_start then
G.GAME.thecloset_highest_mult = 0
end
end
function thecloset.calculate(self, context)
if context.after then
if mult > G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult then
G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult = mult
end
end
end
still need to replace modprefix with thecloset in the calculate function too
umbral spire
still need to replace `modprefix` with `thecloset` in the calculate function too
yea i just did lol
twilit tundra
you need to replace where it says modprefix, not SMODS.current_mod
SMODS.current_mod needs to stay
frosty rampart
using local thecloset = SMODS.current_mod is perfectly fine
twilit tundra
oh huh
final jewel
like I can do it on a pool ?
cause as far as I know pools doesnt have context
frosty rampart
the mod calculate function always runs regardless of what content you have
normal crest
like I can do it on a pool ?
if you mean the ObjectType no, but your mod can have a calculate function that handles stuff related to it if you want
tired kestrel
Has anyone have an idea of changing offset of the stickers on a joker?
final jewel
cause I have this pool
umbral spire
and if i wanted to have it set to the highest mult in the localization file, would i do #2# and have something like:
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.highest_mult } }
end,
and the config is
config = { extra = { mult = 3, highest_mult = G.GAME.thecloset_highest_mult } },
normal crest

You should just return G.GAME.thecloset_highest_mult directly from loc_vars
frosty rampart
^ you don't need the joker's config variable for highest_mult at all anymore
umbral spire
oh yeah
wooden nexus
While i wait for onite to try and code up the deck effect, I'm gonna work on other jokers and whatnot
umbral spire
i do want to update one of the jokers' config value when the highest mult is passed though
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + distance_between_last_highest_mult_and_the_amount_passed
^ that's basically it.
like if it went from 1-101
add 100.
normal crest
and you want that to happen whenever the highest mult is updated?
umbral spire
and you want that to happen whenever the highest mult is updated?
yeah.
normal crest
function thecloset.calculate(self, context)
if context.after then
if mult > G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult then
SMODS.calculate_context({ highest_mult_changed = true, current = mult, previous = G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult })
G.GAME.modprefix_highest_mult = mult
end
end
end
Maybe just something like this? Then in your joker you'd modify mult when if context.highest_mult_changed then
umbral spire
```lua
function thecloset.calculate(self, context)
if context.after then
...
oh nice, thanks.
umbral spire
```lua
function thecloset.calculate(self, context)
if context.after then
...
context.highest_mult_changed.previous is the last one?
or?
normal crest
just context.previous
umbral spire
just context.previous
so like
if context.highest_mult_changed then
local dist = context.current - context.previous
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + dist
end
i'll test in a sec.

found out why pseudorandom isn't working in your implementation; the run's seed is generated after apply_to_run
so the seed "rockydeck" always maps to the same seed value and hence randomness never occurs
