wouldnt you just use calculate for this?

unless you still have to use the consumable i guess

[frosty rampart]

ali and eris are both correct
make keep_on_use return true, make the use function set a variable in its config, make its can_use function only return true when that variable isn't set, and then use the calculate function to check for the context + if the variable is set

i do the exact same thing in High Roller, although the code is a little bit spread out because i did some stuff to avoid having a bunch of copy/pasted code in each die's definition
https://github.com/MetaNite64/High-Roller/tree/dev

(the can_use and keep_on_use functions are in lib/dice.lua, the use function has a bunch of visual work and most of it is offloaded to a separate function in lib/functions.lua, and the calculate function is in each individual die in content/Dice/dX.lua)

[static valley]

Just a quick question

is it possible to get mp4s to play

and how would I go about doing that?

[copper perch]

How would I go about subtracting money from the player on a joker? I wanna subtract $3 after you win a blind and on the evaluation screen I wanna show if you win any from doing that (the joker is like slots lol)

[daring fern]

calc_dollar_bonus = function(self, card)
    return -3
end

[copper perch]

That one's on the evaluation screen though, I want it before that pops up

If thats possible of course

[verbal vigil]

I know this might be a stupid question but is there any way to set the rank of a card on deck generation? I tried looking through the VanillaRemade, Balatro code (or thats what my vscode says), and SMODS docs (including SMODS#change_base). Can anyone help me?

[daring fern]

if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then return {dollars = -3} end

[vale zinc]

Could anyone say why my game keeps on crashing when I try to add anything to main_end? I'm going off of VanillaRemade's code for the Invisible Joker.

main_end = {}
localize {
    type = 'other',
    key = 'm_lapsems_uranium_destroy',
    nodes = main_end,
    vars = {
        card.ability.extra.cards_to_destroy
    }
}
return {
    main_end = main_end,
    vars = {
        card.ability.extra.blind_handicap,
    }
}

-- Here's the localization bits:
m_lapsems_uranium = {
    name = "Uranium Card",
    text = {
        "{X:attention,C:white}X#1#{} {C:attention}Blind{} amount",
        "no rank or suit",
    }
}
m_lapsems_uranium_destroy = {
    name = "u",
    text = {
        "Destroy {C:attention}#1#{} random",
        "card in hand",
    },
}

Oops! The game crashed:
engine/ui.lua:693: attempt to index field 'colour' (a nil value)

[tranquil gull]

@marble flint WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU
this is such a fucking dumb idea /pos i love it

[copper perch]

Is there a way to play a sound in calc_dollar_bonus?

[tranquil gull]

question

if you have 1e10 mult does this set it to 5e92 mult

[marble flint]

yep

[tranquil gull]

LOL

[marble flint]

although the intermediate step needs to get rendered with an e

significantly funnier is that 101 goes to 20.22

[tranquil gull]

also if you wanna uh

[tranquil gull]

bit of a shameless plug but

if you wanna fit the whole code on there I Have A Font that you could mess with

[marble flint]

idk if it's worth it tbh

[tranquil gull]

fair

[vale zinc]

Anyone got any pointers for me?

[tranquil gull]

i mean, at some point i think like, 10001 would go to 2000 then 20002 because i don't think decimals display above 1000 i might be wrong tho

[marble flint]

that is correct but it actually happens after you've won with vanilla balance

[gusty compass]

How would I correctly delay a consumable effect when used, for instance how cards are all flipped at a short delay when a suit changer or enhancing tarot was used?

[vale zinc]

You're gonna hafta use event managers for that. If you need more information, check out VanillaRemade which explains how the various cards are coded.

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'after', --or 'before'
    delay = 0.15, --That's 0.15 seconds
    func = function()
        -- whatever you please
    end
}))

[gusty compass]

Alright

[solid salmon]

guys

is there a way to make sure that specific jokers cant appear in shops, packs and consumables

[marble flint]

look into in_pool for that

[tranquil gull]

so under the right circumstances this is a ^10 Mult joker

[solid salmon]

i did

and i tried

but i didnt do it right

[vale zinc]

Show us what you did.

[vale zinc]

What do "jud", "sho" and "buf" signify?

[solid salmon]

judgement, shop and buffoon

[daring fern]

return not args or (args.source ~= 'jud' and args.source ~= 'sho' and args.source ~= 'buf')

[vale zinc]

Now that there's a lull in the action, could someone please take a look at this problem?

[normal crest]

try main_end = { main_end }

in the return

[chrome widget]

Something's not being properly added in the main_end nodes. That specific crash occurs because there's either an empty node or the arrangement of the nodes are misaligned

[normal crest]

The localize call looks correct to me

So I think it has to do with the structure of the returned main_end

[normal crest]

Not sure if this solves it tho

[vale zinc]

-- Here's how I tried to implement mine.
local main_end = {}
localize {
    type = 'other',
    key = 'm_lapsems_uranium_destroy',
    nodes = main_end,
    vars = {
        card.ability.extra.cards_to_destroy
    }
}

-- Here's what VanillaRemade did for Invisible Joker, which I used as a guide.
main_end = {}
localize {
    type = 'other',
    key = 'remove_negative',
    nodes = main_end,
    vars = {}
}

-- Both ended with this in their return calls:
return {
    main_end = main_end
}

[normal crest]

Can you show the localization entry for m_lapsems_uranium_destroy

[vale zinc]

-- Here's what both of them look like:
m_lapsems_uranium = {
    name = "Uranium Card",
    text = {
        "{X:attention,C:white}X#1#{} {C:attention}Blind{} amount",
        "no rank or suit",
    }
}
m_lapsems_uranium_destroy = {
    name = "u",
    text = {
        "Destroy {C:attention}#1#{} random",
        "card in hand",
    },
}

[normal crest]

The 2nd one should be in the set "Other"

[vale zinc]

Changed from "other" to "Other", but it doesn't show up. Keep in mind, it's supposed to display it unless Hazmat Joker is present, which ensures that Uranium Cards don't destroy cards held in hand.

[normal crest]

The localize call should be "other", I meant in your localization file, the m_lapsems_uranium_destroy key should be under the "Other" category, not "Joker" or anything else

[static valley]

-- loading videos
Comedy_video_dont_ever_do_that_again = Comedy_loadVideo('dont_ever_do_that_again')

-- in utils.lua
function Comedy_loadVideo(name)
    local path = (ComedyGold.path .. "assets/videos/" .. name .. ".ogv")
    ComedyGold.videos[name] = assert(love.graphics.newVideo(path))
    ComedyGold.show_vid[name] = false
    return ComedyGold.videos[name]
end

i dont get it. The video is there. What's causing this?

[vale zinc]

m_lapsems_uranium_destroy is listed under Other, and the localize call features type = 'Other'.

[normal crest]

do main_end = main_end[1] that's what vanilla remade actually has

idk where you got it has main_end = main_end

[vale zinc]

It still doesn't show up. It appears identical to my previous posted image.

[normal crest]

What does your loc_vars code look like now

[vale zinc]

Here's the full loc_vars call.

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    local main_end
    local hazmat_joker = false
    if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
        for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if joker.config.center.key == 'j_lapsems_hazmat' then
                hazmat_joker = true
                break
            end
        end
    end
    if not hazmat_joker then
        main_end = {}
        localize {
            type = 'Other',
            key = 'm_lapsems_uranium_destroy',
            nodes = main_end,
            vars = {
                card.ability.extra.cards_to_destroy -- 1
            }
        }
    end
    return {
        main_end = main_end[1],
        vars = {
            card.ability.extra.blind_handicap,
        }
    }
end

[normal crest]

okay, I said the localize type should be "other"

Also in your case specifically you want to check whether main_end exists in the first place, so do main_end = main_end and main_end[1]

[vale zinc]

It's gone half right.

Must I split the lines among separate localization-signifiers?

[normal crest]

uhhh, if I had to guess the main_end[1] is what's causing only the first line to show

[vale zinc]

Do you have any experience with adding multiple lines with main_end? 'Cause Invisible Joker didn't have to deal with this.
Also, I ran main_end[2] and that did add only the second line.

[normal crest]

try

main_end = main_end and {
  n = G.UIT.C,
  nodes = main_end
}

that's all I can think of

actually nvm, that's wrong too, as you can see I have no experience lol

[golden field]

question: is there a way for a boss blind to debuff cards with a certain enhancement

[daring fern]

if context.debuff_card and SMODS.has_enhancement(context.debuff_card, 'm_modprefix_key') then return {debuff = true} end

[copper perch]

Bump, I have a solution rn but I know its not the best one

if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, "JACKPOT_WIN", 1, card.ability.jack_odds, "JACKPOT_WIN") then
        return card.ability.extra.jack_dollars - card.ability.extra.gamble_cost,
        play_sound('DRY_GambleJackpot')

Is it possible for a joker’s xmult message to have custom colours and sounds?

[wispy falcon]

Yes. Use message = "Your Message", colour = G.C.YOURCOLOUR, sound = "Your Sound", remove_default_message = true in the return

got this error

it also says "file not found" even though the file does in fact exist

how do I fix this?

[static valley]

this is the other error I keep getting

(same issue, btw)

[gaunt folio]

this code is probably incorrect, what am i doing wrong?

[daring fern]

Change G.hand.cards[playing_card] to playing_card

[gaunt folio]

k

[daring fern]

Also context.individual and context.joker_main don't happen at the same time.

[gaunt folio]

doesnt do the function, what am i doing wrong?

[daring fern]

context.cardarea is never G.hand in context.joker_main

[gaunt folio]

this returns the message for everyone (placeholder) but it doesn't actually turn them gold

whats wrong?

again this

i have the boolean as greater than just to test

[daring fern]

if context.before and to_big(G.GAME.dollars) <= to_big(card.ability.extra.dollars) then
    for k, v in pairs(G.hand.cards) do
        v:set_ability('m_gold', nil, true)
    end
end

[gaunt folio]

works

[daring fern]

[ashen drift]

how would i draw something (le sprite) below a card

i guess i would just have to do drawstep jank

ive never used it before though

[stoic void]

What is going on, I selected a 3 of clubs

[rocky osprey]

how does cryptid make its own variables i wonder

G.GAME.code_rate

im tryna do the same for my set
-# if you do answer please ping

[sturdy compass]

This is an example of setting a ConsumableType rate, specifically for Code Cards. Here’s the wiki documentation of using that

[solid salmon]

Chat

how do i mkae it so

a joker cant spawn if yuou have a specific joker

[faint yacht]

return not next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))

[solid salmon]

what if i got like many said specifc jokers or like a group

can i just do

that?

[brazen kite]

tried to open the balatro sounds folder and it crashed file explorer. i love windows 11

[wind steppe]

put that in the in_pool for each joker

[solid salmon]

can it work with a joker group?

[wind steppe]

like a pool?

no you'd have to do a couple hooks/patches to spawning logic

[solid salmon]

...

so i have to manually list every single joker

[wind steppe]

what are you trying to do

[umbral spire]

what are your specs 😭

[solid salmon]

im tryna make a joker that can transform and then after it transforms the base form cant appear anymore (as long as the transformed one exists)

[wind steppe]

so just put the in_pool into the base form

[solid salmon]

ik that

but the issue is

it has lots of transformations

[wind steppe]

make an objecttype

that all your transformations have

and then loop through joker slots and check for jokers with that objecttype

return true if nothing is found

[solid salmon]

i already made the group

i mean the "object type"

in mind

[brazen kite]

i want to add an attention_text that displays just above where the deck lives but i have no idea how to do that

    attention_text({
        text = localize('k_reset'),
        scale = 1.3, 
        hold = 1.4,
        backdrop_colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Joker,
        align = 'br',
        offset = {x = 0, y = 0},
        silent = true
    })

right now what this is doing is flying across the screen

[faint yacht]

Set major to the deck?

[brazen kite]

huge

it seems to work

[solid salmon]

i dont get it

[wind steppe]

what part dont you get

[maiden phoenix]

Check set_ability

[solid salmon]

the loopy thing

you want it to check

every jonkler slot

for if the joker (or a transformation of it) exists

and if it does then return true

[spiral mural]

where's the pos stored in a card

[maiden phoenix]

card.config.center.pos

[spiral mural]

last question, how do i get a pseduorandom number (from the game's seed of course) 👀

[maiden phoenix]

Vanillaremade wiki prob has something on that Idk the exact formula and cant check rn

[spiral mural]

born to ask questions

forced to look at documentation

[wind steppe]

do you mean like. a for loop
https://www.lua.org/pil/4.3.5.html

[solid salmon]

i know how loops work

[wind steppe]

what do you mean the loopy thing then

[solid salmon]

did you not read the entire thing

[wind steppe]

I did

[frosty rampart]

lua allows you to make for loops of the form for x, y in pairs(z), where y represents an element in the table z and x represents the label of that element in z
each element of G.jokers.cards is a joker

[wind steppe]

You want to check every joker slot for if the joker or a transformation of it exists

also you should probably be checking SMODS.Showman for each as well

[dusty fractal]

how do you tell what cards are about to be discarded in pre_discard context

[wind steppe]

G.hand.highlighted afaik

[faint yacht]

if context.pre_discard and context.cardarea == G.play then
{
    cardarea = G.jokers, -- G.hand, (G.deck and G.discard optionally enabled)
    full_hand = G.hand.highlighted,
    pre_discard = true,
    hook = hook -- true when 'The Hook' discards cards
}

[dusty fractal]

gathered that while i was coding just now but

im trying to compare if the card im evaluating is inside of g.hand.highlighted

by iterating through all of the cards in the highlighted hand

and comparing

but i cant just use ==

so how would i tell if a card is the same card im looking at

is there something like full deck position or

[faint yacht]

What's the effect?

[dusty fractal]

applying enhancements of discarded cards in the first hand

to a random non-discarded, unenhanced card in hand

problem is that it can apply it to ones that are part of the discard

i want to grab the inverse of g.hand.highlighted to pick from basically

[frosty rampart]

cards individually store their highlighted state in card.highlighted
so iterate over G.hand.cards and grab all the cards where card.highlighted is false, and then pick a random one from that subset

[dusty fractal]

ahhhhh ok

thats useful thank u

[verbal vigil]

Does anyone know if its possible to make a key combo? (like ctrl + k + r)

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Keybind > held_keys

[frosty rampart]

^

[verbal vigil]

Ty! (also very cute cat pic :D)

[solid salmon]

hey guys

is there a context for FAILED probabilities

[slim ferry]

context.pseudorandom_result and not context.result

[white hull]

hey y’all, is there a context for doing something before a hand is scored but before context.before? like how the tooth takes your money after your cards are moved to the play area but before the cards move up slightly for scoring

[slim ferry]

context.press_play

[white hull]

i tried that, but i can’t access the played cards because that context doesn’t have context.full_hand, and i need that

[slim ferry]

G.hand.highlighted?

well

i think G.play works

[white hull]

oh full hand is just G.play.cards

maybe

let’s see

doesn’t seem to be working, plus it happens the instant you press play and not after the cards are moved to be played

i’m looking at the tooth in vanilla remade and it uses events with delays

maybe it’s just that and there isn’t a context specifically for this?

[slim ferry]

probably then yeah

[tranquil gull]

@marble flint bakery bug with stickyfingers: charms go in the consumable slot when bought through the added buy area

they also do this when spawned from debug

(playing with drawing pen)

[brazen kite]

Is there a way I can change the color of the hand/discard number to something else

[tranquil gull]

yea just hook into functions/UI_definitions

unless you mean also on jokers then no not without changing everything else thats red and blue

[brazen kite]

nah i just wanted to change the color in the UI

good 2 know

[wispy falcon]

Why does this hook crash my game?

function eval_card(card, context)
    if card.edition.key == "e_cstorm_glitch" then
        print("Glitched :O")
    end
    local ret = eval_card_ref(card, context)

    return ret
end```

[daring fern]

if card.edition and card.edition.cstorm_glitch

[wispy falcon]

I still get this crash when I have a card with that edition

[daring fern]

local ret, post = eval_card_ref(card, context)
return ret, post

[wispy falcon]

It works now, thank you :3

What was the problem though? Did it give 2 things and I only returned one?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wispy falcon]

Okay, how do I make the card not trigger with the odds in the edition's config? I'm struggling...

function eval_card(card, context)
    if card.edition and card.edition.cstorm_glitch then
        local RNGesus = pseudorandom("cstorm_glitch", 1, card.edition.denominator)
        if RNGesus <= card.edition.numerator then
            return
        end
    end
    local ret, post = eval_card_ref(card, context)

    return ret, post

This crashes my game... It also rerolls the number every frame instead of once when the card would score

Wait, only thing that I don't understand is how I stop the card from scoring

[lyric maple]

i'm confused as to how the aura code works (i need to use the random edition thing). what is info_queue?

the code is

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_foil
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_holo
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS.e_polychrome
        return { vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted } }
    end,

[frosty rampart]

it's irrelevant to the actual behavior of the card
adding an entry to info_queue adds an extra little pop-up box next to the card's description box that explains a related thing (in Aura's case, it has 3 pop-up boxes with the descriptions for Foil, Holographic, and Polychrome)

[terse marsh]

just starting to get into balatro modding (ive done mostly python and JS development as well as some light roblox lua programming), besides following the beginner guide and looking at examples any advice on making my first mod?

any advice would be appreciated but would also like advice about what IDE's are best for balatro/lua development as well as build scripts/extensions

[obsidian spear]

just have fun, and any ide works, personally i use the most popular vsc, the lua plugin on it is quite useful, theres also alot of help you can get from vanilla remade (by our god n'), usually you should think of a theme, or you can just do anything to do with you, balatro modding should be smth you find fun

anyway with the actual question, I'd suggest either a basic joker that does flat mult or flat chips, but you can also do a scaling joker, so smth like
gains +1 mult per stone card played
(currently +0 mult)

its also very important you start with doing a localization folder when adding text to your jokers if you any bit serious with your mod, since its less messy and will help when you just wanna change 1 word in all jokers to something specific

hope this helped

[feral tree]

can SMODS.blueprint_effect copy multiple cards or is it restricted to only one target?

[harsh belfry]

i believe you can do SMODS.merge_effects(SMODS.blueprint_effect(whatever), SMODS.blueprint_effect(whatever2))

i don't know the args of the blueprint effect function so ig figure it out

[terse marsh]

appreciate the advice. currently looking through vanilla remade and just trying to get things working 👍

[feral tree]

is there a way to use that to blueprint_effect cards in a table? like all copies of a card in SMODS.find_card?

[harsh belfry]

local rets = {}
for i, joker in ipairs(SMODS.find_card("whatever")) do
  local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(whatever_the_card_that_is_copying_is, joker, context)
  if ret then
    rets[#rets+1] = ret
  end
end
if #rets > 0 then
  return SMODS.merge_effects(unpack(rets))
end

obviously didn't test this

and ofc replace the whatever placeholders

in order it:

• makes a list of all of the effects that the targeted jokers have given
• if there is any effects, then:
• it provides each one as an arg to merge_effects, using unpack to do so
• returns the combined effect

[normal crest]

return SMODS.merge_effects(rets) instead

pretty sure it takes a list of effects

[feral tree]

it works!

[spiral mural]

is there a way to have a ternary result from pseudorandom_probability

[stoic heron]

probably

[frosty rampart]

do you mean like
pick one out of 3 options

[spiral mural]

yea like

true false evil third bool

[spiral mural]

(which techincally could be nil depending on how you look at it)

[harsh belfry]

true fruse false

[golden field]

question: how do i do an operation (i.e. division) on the score of a hand played

[normal crest]

what is the goal tho

[spiral mural]

to increase a number by 0, -1, or 1

[umbral zodiac]

just use pseudorandom with a range of -1 to 1 then right

rather than pseudorandom probability

[spiral mural]

example?

[frosty rampart]

yea lol

local value = pseudorandom("seed", -1, 1)
[something] = something + value

if you pass the second and third arguments to pseudorandom, it returns only integers

[spiral mural]

[frosty rampart]

i actually forget if it's inclusive on both the lower and the upper bound or not

but i think it is

[spiral mural]

god i hope so

all my homies hate exclusive randoms

[golden field]

like say if a hand scores like uh 300 it becomes 150 (score is divided by 2)

how'd i do that

[umbral zodiac]

it is

[frosty rampart]

great

oh hi lily i didn't recognize you with the nickname

[umbral zodiac]

wait meta

ur literally the dice girl

how the fuck do u not know if its inclusive

[spiral mural]

💔

[frosty rampart]

i haven't looked at the actual dice rolling code in a while

[umbral zodiac]

i am a sweet and soft catdog girlthing

[frosty rampart]

actually that's a lie i have the lua file open right now, but i was looking at specifically the calculate_context stuff i did for it to help sleepy

[umbral zodiac]

im crine

[spiral mural]

i am a soulware ($0 ruby)

[frosty rampart]

anyway if you needed to do something more complicated than just adding one of three random values to another variable, here's something cool you can do: define a table containing three functions, each one runs the behavior of one of the options. then just use pseudorandom_element on that table and call whatever function you get out of it :3

[normal crest]

:3

[spiral mural]

what fucking usage would i get out of that

let me take a look at what it does

[frosty rampart]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Cryptid/Chocolate_Die

[spiral mural]

ok that makes sense

but im just adding to a value 💔

(and the actual value of it matters)

[frosty rampart]

ya i know, i was just giving some general advice for anyone (it's what i was gonna send before you mentioned your specific use case)

[spiral mural]

makes sense 😇

[normal crest]

that's why you always ask for the goal

[spiral mural]

how do i move a joker to a specific slot

(specific goal: move a just created joker to a slot that i know should exist due to the addition of the joker)

[normal crest]

By swapping their positions, example swapping the 1st joker with the 2nd joker

local swapped_joker = G.jokers.cards[1]
G.jokers.cards[1] = G.jokers.cards[2]
G.jokers.cards[2] = swapped_joker

[spiral mural]

wait i can move cards just by changing indexes!?

[spiral mural]

pretty sure this could just be done in one line with G.jokers.cards[1], G.jokers.cards[2] = G.jokers.cards[2], G.jokers.cards[1]

if i remember correctly anyways

[normal crest]

at least in the jokers area yes

[normal crest]

dunno how this works internally, so maybe, you'd have to try

[golden field]

still looking for answers to this

[ocean sinew]

could you give a example

[cerulean rose]

trying to set a floor on player money, but it's not quite working
i have this so far

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play and G.GAME.dollars < card.base.nominal then
        return { dollars = card.base.nominal - G.GAME.dollars }
    end
end

it doesn't work because G.GAME.dollars isn't updated immediately
any ways i could get it to work?

[bold gyro]

G.GAME.dollar_buffer gets updated in real time whilst scoring occurs, so i believe you could do return { dollars = card.base.nominal - ( G.GAME.dollars + (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) ) }

how do i delete or move a UIBOX? i have the following functions to define and draw it:

function G.UIDEF.suika_main()
    return {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {r = 0.1, minw = 7, minh = 10, align = "tm", padding = 0.2, colour = G.C.UI.TRANSPARENT_DARK }, nodes = {
    }}
end

function SuikaLatro.f.drawBG()
    return UIBox{
        definition = G.UIDEF.suika_main(),
        config = {align='cm', offset = {x=0,y=G.ROOM.T.y + 2}, major = G.ROOM_ATTACH, bond = 'Weak'}
    }
end

[spiral mural]

not working, (a card was destroyed before the card was moved btw)

for j = 1, #jokers do
    if j == created_card then
        if jokers[i + 1] then
            local temp_joker = jokers[i + 1]
            jokers[i + 1] = jokers[j]
            jokers[j] = temp_joker
        end
    end
end

wait didn't reply ping

@normal crest

[cerulean rose]

seems to require manual updating

[normal crest]

what is jokers

[spiral mural]

G.jokers.cards

[normal crest]

and what is created_card

[spiral mural]

is it not obvious

[normal crest]

i mean you're comparing it to a number

[spiral mural]

?

[normal crest]

so it could be either a number or you incorrectly are comparing it to a number

[spiral mural]

oh shit

i meant to compare ot jokers[j]

😔

[normal crest]

to delete it you need to store a reference to it and do box:remove()

also in vanilla it always does box = nil afterwards

dunno if that matters at all

[spiral mural]

probably for memory mangement despite lua having a garbage collector

[golden field]

like say if a hand scores like uh 300 it becomes 150 (score is divided by 2)

[ocean sinew]

at the end of the scoring after every joker deck etc gave their stuff? Or at start

[golden field]

end

[ocean sinew]

just do x_mult=0.5
x_mult_message="/2"
remove_x_mult_message=true
on context.final_scoring_step

[golden field]

...this is for a blind lmao

-# i forgor to specify that fml

[ocean sinew]

theres a blind that does that

u could check it on blinds.lua

[golden field]

...the flint does it on the base, not the end result

[ocean sinew]

I think theres calculate functions for blinds too

u could use that and context.final_scoring_step

[golden field]

i know

[loud citrus]

I asked this in modding chat but here is more appropriate.

is there a way to track when you draw the last card you have of a certain rank (or any rank)

[frosty rampart]

the first way i can think of is to loop over G.deck.cards every time a card is drawn, and check if there are any other cards of the same rank as the drawn card in G.deck.cards (that card area is only for cards that haven't yet been drawn)

a more complicated way that might still end up being more efficient than looping over a giant table like G.deck.cards would be to have a table that tracks how many cards of each rank you have in total, update that table whenever playing cards are added or destroyed, have a second table that tracks how many cards of each rank you have left in the deck, and update that table every time playing cards are added to specifically the deck, destroyed from specifically the deck, drawn to hand, and then reset it to the state of the first table at the end of the round (after any end-of-round card destroying/adding of course)

[spiral mural]

52 elements

[frosty rampart]

are you referring to the first method or the second
because you are correct on the first one, but the second one would only have 15 elements unless you have mods that add more ranks

https://tryitands.ee

[spiral mural]

haha sometimes

[loud citrus]

okay, this won't be simple but thank you for the methods!!!

[pale holly]

    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, blind)
        return { vars = { G.GAME.dollars }  }
        end,

local prestige_money = {}

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    
    if context.setting_blind then
        prestige_money = G.GAME.dollars
    end

    if context.money_altered and G.GAME.dollars ~= prestige_money then
        local diff = G.GAME.dollars - prestige_money

        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                ease_dollars(-diff, true)
                blind:wiggle()
                return true
            end
        }))

        delay(0.6)
    end
end

Alright so i did tried out, putting the prestige_money in local didn't worked out and would constantly apply the dollar change even if it should not
I did tried setting outside of the calculate function but it it wouldn't work and directly crash my game, so i would like to know if there's a config setting that can work out similar like card.ability.extra.prestige_money but for blinds ? Should i make something like self.ability.extra.prestige_money or is there a different way to do it ?
Would appreciate the help thanks

[urban wasp]

what's the color key in G.C for balancing (the color behind the message on plasma deck)?

[normal crest]

idk if it's there, but it's { 0.8, 0.45, 0.85, 1 }

[normal crest]

Generally you shouldn't put code without a context check

In calculate

First think about when you want this effect to happen

[pale holly]

well i want it to happen whenever the money change (from Tarot, Joker, etc) but i guess to make it safe i can just put a context.main_eval

[normal crest]

Uh I don't remember if there's an SMODS context for that

[pale holly]

I'll just use context.main_eval, i think this should work out that way as a safe way, that or simply use things like consumable used or triggered joker

whatever that works without breaking

right now my issue is to store the amount of money the player got when setting the blind, since i don't think i can simply do a card.ability.extra.prestige_money like how you could do with a Joker

and using a local might work but with what i tried to do, it either make the function constantly run or crash my game directly upon starting

[daring fern]

context.money_altered

[frosty rampart]

use context.money_altered

[pale holly]

oh

thanks

but what about storing money ?

[frosty rampart]

here's all the documentation on it

[pale holly]

was it from a recent version of SMODS ? i don't think i did saw that context before

but thanks again

[frosty rampart]

yea latest release

[pale holly]

Ah that make sense

[frosty rampart]

context documentation is sadly in need of a lot of work still

[pale holly]

yeah i feel like the wiki misses a lot of important things and makes it hard to search what you need, i rely a lot on Vanilla Remade since the exemples helps A LOT

[pale holly]

..I still need to manage how to make the blind store the money it got when setting the blind, trying local wouldn't work as i wished it would and well, i could try a config but i don't know that works out since blinds in general doesn't use the config function

Does, anyone know how i could do it please ?

[daring fern]

blind.effect.prestige_money = G.GAME.dollars

[pale holly]

thanks

[pale holly]

should i then just make a config with prestige money like config = { prestige_money = 0 } ?

[lavish elm]

thx

[versed swan]

I dont remember the exact keys (currently afk), but whats the point in having both x_mult and perma_x_mult in Card.ability? (Same with h_x_mult and perma_h_x_mult)

I'm implementing similar "bonuses" for the custom scoring parameters in a mod im developing

[spiral mural]

to have a joker that kills perma_x_mult

idk

[versed swan]

Consider not answering if you don't have a serious one.

[daring fern]

Values without perma don't show up automatically on playing cards.

[versed swan]

...huh

Now I'm wondering why that would even be needed - like wouldn't it be better to like see those values always, gameplay-wise?

[spiral mural]

what's the context (combo) that is at the end of the round, but the scoring_hand is still existant

[stiff locust]

context.after and (blind score + hand score > required score) is the closest iirc

you could try applying orange instead and then re-add the effects of gold yourself
tho did you tried first if
applied_stakes = { "gold" },
wouldn't work ?

[gusty compass]

Yea I did, I tried it a few times but it would not emplace it correctly

[pale holly]

not sure what to add, cryptid does have gold applied so unless there's a smods to fix that, you might as well look at toher code or recode gold yourself
https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/blob/952f6e44234a21a52f2d35497e3873734c44325d/items/stake.lua#L348

[gusty compass]

I did reference cryptid for this but I'll try build it off orange and copy the gold stake code

[pale holly]

yeah seems the easiest workaround right now

[wintry solar]

you need prefix_config = {applied_stakes = {mod = false}}

[gusty compass]

In SMODS.Stake?

[wintry solar]

yes

[stoic void]

You should word it as {C:red}-1{} hand size

[gusty compass]

It did something, showing Applied Gold Stake, should I leave that be?

[gusty compass]

Alr I'll change it in a sec

[wintry solar]

it should be working then

[gusty compass]

Alright thanks a lot you all

[stoic void]

👍

[ocean sinew]

That's 0.5 X mult at the end of scoring which is literally /2 the score which is what u asked for

or did u want it to be /2 chips too

[golden field]

nvm i found a way

...which was to MAKE AN ENTIRE NEW FUCKING FUNCTION TO USE FOR THE SCORING OF THAT SPECIFIC BLIND 😭

[slim ferry]

smods should probably have a context for between score being totaled and it being added to round score so modifying hand score at all isnt scoring calculation hell

[ocean sinew]

fr

[pale holly]

bump

[wispy falcon]

bump

[harsh belfry]

technically because multiplication is commutative this does actually divide the score by 2

[hardy vessel]

Making a joker that gives an investment tag, but the info queue shows the dollar value as nil (and shows the normal $25 when you actually have the tag). Is there a potential fix for this?

Nothing is changed from vanilla in regards to the tag.

[slim ferry]

what does the info_queue look like?

actually no

just add config = G.P_TAGS.tag_investment.config to the info_queue thing for it i think

[hardy vessel]

I replaced { key = 'tag_investment', set = 'Tag' } with G.P_TAGS.tag_investment and everything seems to be working as intended now

[slim ferry]

oh okay

[white hull]

is there a way for me to set a joker’s default sell value ala the cost property? or do i need to make an add_to_deck function that sets its sell value?

[slim ferry]

Hook Card:set_cost

Also sell value is always half of the cost so if the cost doesnt matter just make it double the sell value

[white hull]

it seems easier to just double the sell value lol

[vale zinc]

The "+1 Tarot" and "+1 Spectral" messages do not appear. What am I doing wrong here?

G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 2
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'after',
    delay = 0.2,
    func = (function()
        SMODS.add_card {
            set = 'Tarot',
            key_append = 'witch_hunter'
        }
        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 1
        return {
            message = localize('k_plus_tarot'),
            colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.TAROT
        }
    end)
}))
delay(0.2)
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'after',
    delay = 0.2,
    func = (function()

            key_append = 'witch_hunter'
        }
        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
        return {
            message = localize('k_plus_spectral'),
            colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.SPECTRAL
        }
    end)
}))

[harsh belfry]

nether of those returns are actually being returned as a result of a calculate function

you can use SMODS.calculate_effect on those tables instead of returning them, with a second argument that is the joker/consumable/card that is creating these

for example:

SMODS.calculate_effect({
    message = localize('k_plus_spectral'),
    colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.SPECTRAL
}, card)

[vale zinc]

Like this?

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    trigger = 'after',
    delay = 0.2,
    func = (function()
        SMODS.add_card {
            set = 'Spectral',
            key_append = 'j_lapsems_witch_hunter'
        }
        G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 1
        SMODS.calculate_effect({
            message = localize('k_plus_spectral'),
            colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.SPECTRAL
        }, card)
    end)
}))

[harsh belfry]

yes

and similar for the other one

and of course make sure card is actually the card running the effect

(it may be named something else after all)

[vale zinc]

The messages still don't show up, but now it fills up the consumable slots indefinitely.

if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and context.main_eval and context.beat_boss then

            }
            G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 1
            SMODS.calculate_effect({
                message = localize('k_plus_tarot'),
                colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.TAROT
            }, card)
        end)

    delay(0.2)

        end)
    }))
end

However, I'm about to head out for a little while, so I can't stay and chat.

[normal crest]

events run until the function inside them returns true

so you have to return true at some point

[vale zinc]

The messages still don't show up, though.

[pale holly]

Is there a way to make the text of the blind requirement wiggle too ?

Like when i want for exemple the requirement to change, it could wiggle to show it's changing

[tired kestrel]

how do I make this work?

[ocean sinew]

what are you trying to do

[tired kestrel]

making a new variable for profiles.

for a mod

either by hooks or lovely patch

I'm trying to see if I can do a hook method.

[ocean sinew]

you could probably hook Game:load_profile

[tired kestrel]

alright.

I'll try

[jolly path]

how do i start making balatro mods

Hi again, just trying to make my joker do a little shaking effect when the score changes but i got this error despite during blinds this wouldn't happen, could i have some help to know if there's a way to make the blind requiremenet text wiggle or not ?

[tired kestrel]

interesting thing when I was trying to do the loc_txt. for some reason I believe that inside the code still contains the "{C:voucher}" for blank.

However when I try to make "voucher" a custom color despite it never exists.

The color shows.

[pale holly]

You mean you simply made C:voucher and it just..worked ?

[pale holly]

NEVERMIND I FIGURED IT OUT ITS G.hand_text_area.blind_chips:juice_up()

[tired kestrel]

Yeah.

[pale holly]

Wouldn't that just be a re-added feature of SMODS ?

[tired kestrel]

Honestly I'm rather shocked that in the code it actually had "[C:Voucher}"

[pale holly]

unless maybe, localthunk just left that somewhere hidden in the code

[tired kestrel]

Honestly, I don't get to see the reason why he get rid of that function. thought would be interesting since obviously how on earth would modders would use an unlock feature where you just tells you that it's a voucher by it's own color text.

Just like how Planets, Tarots and also Spectrical had their color in text.

I feel like it was ever since in the demos probably.

[pale holly]

maybe since it's close to C:attention he just, didn't see the use of C:voucher, but kept it in case

[tired kestrel]

Probably, but yeah it's really interesting to find it like that.

[tired kestrel]

oh what the heck!

how did this happen!?

Hello I am currently trying to make malverk crossmod textures and add them to my mod does anyone have any resources or something similar or if someone's already done this before that i could look at?

[lucid owl]

trying to think of how to make editions trigger when held in hand

questioning if it's worth it

taking ownership probably wouldn't be the route considering modded editions will do nothing

augh

[slim ferry]

take the code from ascensio

https://github.com/MarioFan597/Ascensio/blob/3cd1802526bd2bff86f4435cb139c1567564c615/items/jokers/vanilla/mime.lua#L31-L46

[spiral mural]

how would i make something run after everything is loaded

(as in all mods)

[faint yacht]

Hook Game:splash_screen() or patch right before if G.SETTINGS.skip_splash == 'Yes' then.

[solid salmon]

how do i make a misprint like description

[fallow pebble]

so when i tell the game to run doom it doenst owkr

can someone hel[p

i used c++

[frosty rampart]

check vanillaremade

[solid salmon]

i am

but its so weird

as the card itself doesnt have a description

[frosty rampart]

yea everything is in the loc_vars function

[solid salmon]

yeah

[lucid owl]

the description is found in localization

[solid salmon]

but i wanna do that for xmult and chips

[frosty rampart]

misprint is silly

[lucid owl]

wtf LMAO

[frosty rampart]

everything's in the main_start in loc_vars

[solid salmon]

it makes me want to misprint myself

[frosty rampart]

because it's dynatext

[lucid owl]

i figured it'd have some sort of translation

[frosty rampart]

it does
it calls the localize function for "k_mult"

[lucid owl]

ohh i just looked at it and it really doesnt need any

yeah lol

[frosty rampart]

the rest of it is just numbers pretty much

[lucid owl]

that's the only text that needs to be shown since. its only +mult

[solid salmon]

is there even a thing called

k_xmult

or something

or k_chips

i fricked up

nvm

i fricked up

its only jumping from 1.5 to 2.5

does anyone know where i could find the code for k_mult

[lucid owl]

send the joker's code

[solid salmon]

oh wait

how do i get specially unscored cards?

Any pointers, @harsh belfry and @normal crest?

[wispy falcon]

Is there a function to make a Joker move to a specific slot position?

[analog marsh]

hey guys uh

i wanna like

start modding

uh

i just wanna like

add more suits and ranks

how can i do that

[daring fern]

No.

[wispy falcon]

Here's a guide about starting your first Mod: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

And this is specifically for adding Suits and Ranks: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rank-and-SMODS.Suit

[analog marsh]

Thank you so much!

I would yap to y'all about my ideas, but that'd be in #⚙・modding-general + I don't think people would even wanna hear that lol

[normal crest]

can you show the entire calculate function

[toxic cave]

is it possible to re-use an in-game sprite for something else? i wanna reuse ancient joker's sprite for a deck sprite

[distant junco]

please help idk why this isnt working

[daring fern]

atlas = 'Joker',
prefix_config = {atlas = false},
pos = G.P_CENTERS.j_ancient.pos,

[toxic cave]

thank you my glorious king

[loud citrus]

what does the error say?

[distant junco]

theres no error it just doesnt do anything

[loud citrus]

i see

i remember return values being quite jank with this game

[daring fern]

Tags do not have joker contexts.

[distant junco]

ah

[slim ferry]

tags dont do normal returns either

at least not in the way centers do

[distant junco]

what should i do then

[slim ferry]

get patching the scoring loop buddy

[distant junco]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

is there a list of all the context.type stuff

or something

[loud citrus]

check tag.lua

or card.lua

[distant junco]

ah fuck there isnt one fuuuck

now im gonna have to... put effort into my code

[loud citrus]

you could do on discard like burned joker

[daring fern]

You could use the mod calculate.

[distant junco]

there isnt a context.type for discarding either

[distant junco]

whats that

[loud citrus]

if context.discard then

i used it in my rebaloed mod

[distant junco]

tags dont do contexts the same way otherwise my code would have worked

[loud citrus]

OH

that makes sense

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
end

[sturdy compass]

They’re gotten a bit better, especially documentation-wise

[solid salmon]

how do i make something that affects the LAST played card

[loud citrus]

what is the G.P_CENTERS equivalent of poker hands?

[sturdy compass]

SMODS.PokerHands

[toxic cave]

im not sure if this is the correct channel to ask since im no longer in the developing part of things but
i now have a mod that works and im happy with, whats next? where do i upload the mod, etc, and does it really need a github if its 37 lines that can be contained within a screenshot or is that overkill for something that small scale

[wind steppe]

yes upload the mod to github

its more trustworthy when you can see the code

secondly you can upload it in the modding forum here or in a couple other servers

and if you want you can make an entry on the wiki

[toxic cave]

wait what wiki

[wind steppe]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

[toxic cave]

https://github.com/dervorce/Keke-s-Ancient-Deck is this good enough?

[wind steppe]

yep

@wispy falcon

(the positions need to exist)

And?

Don't be a smart ass

Say "There's not a function, but there's a way."

[lyric maple]

is there a function for checking if a card has an edition (in general)? backreading tells me SMODS.has_edition isn't a thing

[frosty rampart]

it's not a function, you just check if card.edition exists
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-get-if-a-card-has-a-specific-editionenhancementsealsticker

[keen hinge]

guys i dont understand what this part means, im assuming it means i can automate the version number so i dont have to keep on changing it manually but i dont really get it

ok i mean i understand the most part but idk if it would work for my project because i have a git containing multiple mods instead of just one

[wispy falcon]

Omg, thank you! :D

[golden field]

question: how do i make a blind trigger its effect if the hand played does not contain a certain rank

[frosty rampart]

is the effect "this hand does not score" (i.e. it just throws away the cards like psychic) or something else

[golden field]

smth else

like setting money to a certain amount

[frosty rampart]

gotcha
i haven't done much with blinds but i'm pretty sure this should work
in the blind's calculate function, you'll want to do this

if not blind.disabled and context.before then
  local flag = false
  for i, v in ipairs context.full_hand do
    if v:get_id() == (the ID of whatever rank) then
      flag = true
      break
    end
  end
  if not flag then
    -- do whatever
  end
end

[golden field]

ah ok thanks

[keen hinge]

so if the mod i published to the mod manager links back to a specific folder within a git instead of the whole repository, would automatic-version-check still work or not?

[golden field]

uhh

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "peach",
    atlas = 'wacleblinds',
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 4 },
    boss = { min = 1 },
    boss_colour = HEX("46a4f7"),

    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled and context.before then
            local triggered = false
            for i, v in ipairs context.full_hand do
                if v:get_id() == 14 then
                    triggered = true
                    break
                end
            end
            if not triggered then
                ease_dollars(-G.GAME.dollars+11, true)
            end
        end

end

[normal crest]

yes that's what you already sent, I meant the entirety of the function

[tranquil gull]

@marble flint I GOT SOMETHING

[vale zinc]

The only other thing in there is the bit which triples the base Boss Blind size at the beginning of the round, which has no bearing on the card generation, so I thought I'd leave it out.

[tranquil gull]

seems like it's the fault of whoever rewrote the entire implementation of scoring parameters without asking me

[normal crest]

the code you sent looks correct to me, so I'm looking for the issue elsewhere

[tranquil gull]

amount is being set to -naneinf

[vale zinc]

It won't let me.

But here's the only other thing in calculate():

if context.setting_blind and G.GAME.blind.boss then
    return {
        message = 'X'..card.ability.extra.boss_blind_size,
        func = function()
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'ease',
                blockable = true,
                blocking = false,
                ref_table = G.GAME.blind,
                ref_value = 'chips',
                ease_to = G.GAME.blind['chips'] * card.ability.extra.boss_blind_size,
                delay =  0.6,
                func = (function(t) G.GAME.blind.chip_text = number_format(t); return t end)
            }))
        end
    }
end

[normal crest]

to be clear, the only thing not working are the calculate_effectcalls right

[normal crest]

and card is the 2nd parameter of your function

[vale zinc]

Of which, calculate()? It is the second parameter of that.

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- ...
end

[normal crest]

Oh wait, might be the color, it's Spectral not SPECTRAL

Same with Tarot

[vale zinc]

Changed the names, but the messages still didn't show up.

[normal crest]

Maybe just remove the color entirely...

try going to a game, get 1 joker and do eval SMODS.calculate_effect({ message = "hi" }, G.jokers.cards[1])

[vale zinc]

That does produce a message from my first Joker, but removing the colors in Witch Hunter's calculate() function changed nothing.

[normal crest]

you are modifying the right file and saving it, right

[vale zinc]

The src/jokers.lua file which contains all Joker information, Witch Hunter included? Yes!

[normal crest]

guess I'm gonna try your code in my pc and see what goes

The messages show up for me, they don't show up at the right time but they show up for sure

[vale zinc]

When do they show up?

[normal crest]

After the consumables spawn

But your issue was that they don't show up at all right

genuinely don't know why it doesn't work for you

[tranquil gull]

@marble flint i got it working kind of!
it works until it hits hash notation. omeganum doesn't know how to parse hash notation

..nor do i

    elseif n:arraySize() < 8 then
        --e12#34#56#78
        local r = (n.sign == -1 and "-e" or "e")..e_ify(math.floor(n.array[1]*10^places+0.5)/10^places).."#"..e_ify(n.array[2] or 1)
        for i = 3, n:arraySize() do
            r = r.."#"..e_ify((n.array[i] or 0)+1)
        end
        return r
    else
        --e12#34##5678
        return (n.sign == -1 and "-e" or "e")..e_ify(math.floor(n.array[1]*10^places+0.5)/10^places).."#"..e_ify(n.array[n:arraySize()] or 0).."##"..e_ify(n:arraySize()-2)
    end

time to write a parser for this

[frosty rampart]

hash notation is sbiis saibian's Hyper-E Notation
this is a bit of a dry read, but the original definition should cover pretty much the rest of what omeganum is capable of (you can ignore the extended definition section)
https://googology.miraheze.org/wiki/Hyper-E_notation

[tranquil gull]

so i just need to write a parser for that then

[frosty rampart]

ya
here's a bit of demonstration to help you get started

e6.79#9 = e(e6.79#8) = e(e(6.79#7)) = ...
e3#3#3 = e3#(e3#3#2) = ...

[tranquil gull]

i mean

i don't need to make the number i need to make the bignum

which means i can num.array[i] =

[frosty rampart]

true,,,

[frosty rampart]

nice

[golden field]

question: how do i make a blind have multiple effects and activate one of those effects randomly each after each hand

[loud summit]

calculate function and context.after

[tranquil gull]

function parse_hyper_e(num)
    local split_array = num:sub(2)
    local arr = {}
    local current_run = 0
    local i = 1
    for _, str in ipairs(Split(split_array, "#")) do
        current_run = current_run + 1
        if #str ~= 0 then
            if current_run > 1 then error("currently unimplemented") end
            current_run = 0
            local val = tonumber(str)
            if i > 2 then val = val - 1 end
            arr[i] = val
        end
        i = i + 1
    end
    return setmetatable({array = arr, sign = 1}, OmegaMeta)
end

what i've got so far

works round trip for everything without a ## in it

how do those ##'s work

[frosty rampart]

E3##5 = E3#3#3#3#3 (there are 5 3's)
Ea##b = Ea#a#a#...#a (there are b a's)

that expansion can happen whenever the ## is the rightmost separator

[tranquil gull]

@frosty rampart tysm

i'm Not doing triple # btw that sounds like a fucking headache

function parse_hyper_e(num)
    local split_array = num:sub(2)
    local arr = {}
    local current_run = 0
    local i = 1
    for _, str in ipairs(Split(split_array, "#")) do
        current_run = current_run + 1
        if #str ~= 0 then
            local val = tonumber(str)
            if current_run == 1 then
                if i > 2 then val = val - 1 end
                arr[i] = val
            elseif current_run == 2 then
                local last = arr[i-1]
                for _ = 1, val do
                    arr[i] = last
                    i = i + 1
                end
            else
                print("Extended Hyper-E notation for # > 3 is currently unsupported. Returning Infinity.")
                return math.huge, true
            end
            current_run = 0
            i = i + 1
        end
    end
    return setmetatable({array = arr, sign = 1}, OmegaMeta)
end

[frosty rampart]

triple # is basically the same as double # but it expands to a bunch of double #s
but yea you don't need to do it for balatro purposes because that's far beyond what omeganum is capable of

[tranquil gull]

i = i + 1
if i > 4000 then
    -- This number is way too big. Bail.
    return math.huge, true
end

[young leaf]

is there a way to add ban your own items for vanilla challenges?
i would like to add my mod's tags to the list of banned tags in Jokerless

[tranquil gull]

@marble flint i got lua joker up to e10#10##10000, aka 10{10000}10

wait. mutual servers. something something why are you also at the devils sacrament

[marble flint]

I will gladly take a PR so you can be credited in the commit history :3

[grand sage]

Im trying to do Crossmod stuff and i believe i did something wrong could anyone help me?

[tranquil gull]

stop using the comment steamodded helper

make a .json file

please

[winter flower]

first off, why the old header,
second off, what’s the issue

[granite jay]

Is there a way to make it so a Joker's rarity depends on settings?

[grand sage]

i want to make a crossmod for my malverk mod and all in jest and it keeps giving me an error when i try to start balatro that im missing a }

[grand sage]

also the old header because i used a similar mod as a base and the mod was older

[daring fern]

rarity = (next(SMODS.find_mod('Cryptid')) and 'cry_epic') or (dandysworld.config.epic and 'dandy_epic') or 3

[granite jay]

Oh thx

Anyone know how to make a boss blind sprite twice as big?

[chrome widget]

I'm trying to look into doing talisman compatibility against my better judgement, what exactly do you need to use the to_big() function for? Just any value that could contribute to scoring?

[grand sage]

i fixed the {} issue but i did something wrong with my Compats/Crossmods as it keeps giving me attempting to call a nil value error

[golden field]

why does it crash

[daring fern]

Remove everything after context in the function inputs.

[golden field]

still persists

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "knife",
    atlas = 'wacleblinds',
    dollars = 5,
    mult = 2,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 21 },
    boss = { min = 1 },
    boss_colour = HEX("A391CE"),
    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.modify_hand then
                blind.triggered = true 
                mult = mod_mult(math.max(math.floor(mult - G.GAME.hands[text].played), 1))
                update_hand_text({ sound = 'chips2', modded = true }, { mult = mult })
            end
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

Yes, it would be context.scoring_name not text

[stiff glade]

Aaaaughh, been at this for HOURS trying to figure out why a sound wont trigger, finally gonna ask for help.

[grand sage]

like in game or just the sprite because i dont know how to do it in game but if you wanna make the sprite (more detailed) bigger just double the sprite dimensions in the code so where its like x= and y= double those

[daring fern]

It's modprefix_soundkey

[stiff glade]

Could you elaborate a little more?

[daring fern]

play_sound 'modprefix_soundkey'

[stiff glade]

Like this, right?

[daring fern]

No, play_sound 'junk_Nuke_Boom'

[stiff glade]

Im still getting the same error

[granite jay]

I used px = 68 and py = 68 which is just ignored here

It’s used in collection and blind selection screen but not here

[granite jay]

Bump

[granite jay]

But yeah that’s why I was annoyed

[golden field]

ah thanks

[tranquil gull]

:catplant:

do you know what a string is

if not then https://lua.org/pil/contents.html please read this. up until the end of chapter 16

[stiff glade]

My bad gang, incredibly new to coding 😔

[tranquil gull]

you need to know lua to use lua

https://lua.org/pil/contents.html

read up

end of chapter 16 is a good stopping point

but also read 19 and 20

[tranquil gull]

thats alright, just read up a bit on it

honestly might not be a half bsd idea to have https://lua.org/pil/contents.html pinned

[granite jay]

Anyone know how to fix this? I used px and py

[tranquil gull]

if thats not supported then i bet it's a big hassle snd you[re better of downscaling (or better, redrawing at a lower scale) the blind texture

path of least resistance

[urban wasp]

is something off here? i can't for the life of me figure out why i can't use this consumable on a joker with the fused rarity

can_use = function(self, card)
    local highlighted = G.jokers.highlighted or {}
    if #highlighted < 1 or #highlighted > card.ability.extra.max_highlighted then
        return false
    end
    local joker = highlighted[1]
    return joker.rarity == "bfs_fused"
end,

[daring fern]

return joker:is_rarity('bfs_fused')

[daring fern]

[granite jay]

Is there a way to make the Blind reward have custom text instead of money?

Cos I made it so if you defeat that Blind, you get a very good Joker as a reward

SMODS.Tag {
    key = "dyle",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 2 },
    apply = function(self, tag, context)
        if context.type == 'new_blind_choice' then

Anyone know how to make it so the reroll always lands on a specific Boss Blind?

[granite jay]

Figured it out, I just do G.GAME.perscribed_bosses[1] = 'bl_dandy_dyle'

[granite jay]

Bump

[granite jay]

NVM it doesn't work sometimes...

I'll replace the 1 with G.GAME.round_resets.ante and see how that works tomorrow

[winter flower]

can’t you just

OH WAIT

IM FUCKING STUPID

[daring fern]

No, G.FORCE_BOSS = 'bl_modprefix_key'

[granite jay]

Oh thx

[granite jay]

lol

[granite jay]

Oh shit a dandy’s world fan!

[stiff locust]

chat i got a really weird issue to fix

one of my jokers is unaffected by the eternal sticker when I apply it

as in it can be sold or destroyed by other jokers as if it didn't have eternal

even though i used the same method as i did on several other jokers its just this one that breaks it

wait i'm stupid no I didn't

i used the wrong method to apply it

ok its fine

nevermind that it has decided not to apply the sticker now

ok the issue appears to actually be that the joker doesn't like stickers being put on it

i can't even give it one with debugplus

i figured it out

it had eternal compat off oops

my insane ramblings cannot be accompanied by gifs for they are blocked

[maiden phoenix]

I was thinking that and was like "Nah she couldn't have forgotten that"

[tired kestrel]

why does this lovely patch doesn't work? the print function doesn't show up at all

[stiff locust]

oh i couldve (i did)

[tired kestrel]

what is this what am I doing wrong now?

[golden field]

question: what's the set name for stickers

[tired kestrel]

I was trying to make a save system about times played things

[sturdy compass]

There isn’t one (why are we yelling?!)

[solid salmon]

hey guys

i dont know how to ui

[slim ferry]

hit up the steamodded ui page

and besides that theres like nothing

figure it out from other mods ig 🤷

[solid salmon]

i just wanna add button that transforms a card

(kinda like fusion)

[loud citrus]

i'm trying to create a system where the joker tracks if you've play a flush or a straight, after doing both you get a spectral card, a rework of seance.

dose someone know why my flush_done and straight_done parts of my code aren't functioning the way i'm intending? it gives the spectral card without having checked if the other poker hand has been played.

[normal crest]

uhm you're using {} in your condition

presumably they're meant to be parenthesis

@loud citrus

[short girder]

would this work for destroying cards of x rank before the scoring happens

[daring fern]

No, context.destroy_card and context.before don't happen at the same time.

[loud citrus]

OH SHOOT, thank you so much... Time to test

[short girder]

ahh okay so how would i go approaching that

[wintry solar]

Use context.before and put the cards you want to destroy into SMODS.destroy_cards

[short girder]

kayyy thanks eremel

[vale grove]

iam trying to make a joker that flips the base and chips mult, context.before changes it back and context.modify_hand makes the blind icon spin around, what would be the correct solution to this?

[faint yacht]

Swaps?

return { swap = true }

[vale grove]

but on what context check

because context.before doesnt work(instantly swaps it back)
and modify_hand makes the blind icon spin for some reason

[faint yacht]

context.initial_scoring_step

[granite jay]

Anyone know how to make a Joker debuff a random card in your hand when played?

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "shrimpo",
    atlas = 'dwJoker',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 6},
    soul_pos=nil,

    cost = 1,
    config = { extra = {} },
    blueprint_compat=true,
    eternal_compat=true,
    perishable_compat=true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.before then
            local scored_card = pseudorandom_element(context.scoring_hand, "dw_shrimpo")
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    scored_card:juice_up()
                    scored_card:set_debuff(true)
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return {
                message = localize('k_debuffed'),
                colour = G.C.RED,
                sound = "tarot2",
            }
        end
    end,
}```
I have this code which makes the card display work, but the scoring treats the debuffed card as if it wasn't debuffed.

[frosty rampart]

i think you have to move the set debuff call out of the event

although that might mess with the timing of some visuals

[strong plume]

First time coding a tag - the effect works normally, but it softlocks the game after adding the cards; anyone knows why?

[spiral mural]

how do i get the cardarea of a card

[normal crest]

card.area

[spiral mural]

how do i send a card to a specific card area

[normal crest]

draw_card(from, to, 90, 'up')

i don't remember what the 90 or 'up' are for

they may not even be necessary

[spiral mural]

is that in like

the card

SMODS?

[normal crest]

nah it's just a global function, I think if you want to move a specific card there's an additional parameter

Don't have the source code available rn so you'll have to check yourself

but that function is from cardarea to cardarea

[slim ferry]

You can also just use CardArea:emplace(card)

Usually

[normal crest]

I don't think you need the controller locks

[strong plume]

oh bruh ty, that makes sense lol idk how that slipped me

[normal crest]

Also you might be able to replace your creating card logic with local _card = SMODS.create_card { set = "Base", enhancement = "m_gold", edition = "e_bstuck_paradox" }

[rigid solar]

So I've noticed music plays slower than the given file. How would I go about making my music play regularly? Either through code or modifying the file itself, I just don't want it to be giga slow lol

At first I thought it was playing at half the speed but it's not the case it's faster than that
edit: nvm found my answer, just set pitch and volume to 1

[rich pollen]

I need help.

I'm making a quick/shitty sprite sheet for my mod im making that way i can test and learn how to write my content. I have 4 cards in the 1x format done. What is the best method to convert it to 2x???

Im using Krita at the moment.

[river grail]

What you can do is Image > Scale Image to New Size, and it'll let you resize the sheet into any given number

to make a 2x version, you should set the px move to %, meaning if you type in 200 instead of 100, the image will double in size
IMPORTANT: Keep the filter to Nearest Neighbor, so that there's no blurring or blending between the pixels!

then you can export the 2x image, and then CTRL + Z to undo the image resizing

[rich pollen]

Dude you're a life saver

[solid salmon]

is there a context for beating blinds in first hand?

[spiral mural]

what's the final context before the hand's score gets added

[umbral zodiac]

probably context.final_scoring_step or context.after depending on what you are looking for

[daring fern]

‎

[versed merlin]

is there a way to check what position card is being scored currently

[daring fern]

local pos = 0
for k, v in pairs(card.area) do
    if card == v then pos = k end
end

[dapper sun]

how do i get the current chips/mult?

[daring fern]

hand_chips and mult

[dapper sun]

ty

is that G.GAME?

[daring fern]

No, it's just hand_chips and mult

[dapper sun]

ok

[versed merlin]

im a bit confused would this go inside a context call?

[wispy falcon]

To make a shader deform a card like this, would I need to draw the shader on the layer of the card, that is the white in the background or how would I make that?

[daring fern]

It would go where you want to check the position of the card.

[versed merlin]

yknow what, actually, is there just a way to run code every time a card gets retriggered, or to just check for card retriggers

excluding joker retriggers

[versed merlin]

actually no it would be better to make this work, when I add it to my code it always returns 0 though

[daring fern]

Code?

[versed merlin]

trying to get this latch to work with retriggers, so the joker only triggers on the first card but it will trigger twice on a retrigger

latch prevents it from retriggering

my thought was like reset the latch if you're scoring the same position card twice in a row

[pastel kernel]

@unkempt thicket you said i can borrow your martellino code, right? how do i change it to fit a consumable card?

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = 'mugen',
    set = 'Spectral',
    atlas = "atlas_Slumber",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    soul_rate = 0.1,
    can_repeat_soul = true,
    soul_set = 'Spectral',
    loc_txt = {
        name = "MUGEN",

[unkempt thicket]

To get a Consumable instead of a Joker? if so look at Morio

[pastel kernel]

no like assuming i'm not using all in jest

[unkempt thicket]

I mean morio's code

[pastel kernel]

morio?

[pastel kernel]

oh i meant to spawn jokers

ok let me try to rephrase myself

[frosty rampart]

you want a consumable that can spawn jokers from a menu
reference paperback's apostle of wands

(it also uses all in jest code)

[pastel kernel]

without limitation

[frosty rampart]

it shouldn't be hard to pick through the code and find what hides legendary+ jokers from the menu

[pastel kernel]

what's PB.UTIL

[unkempt thicket]

Did you also grab the UI code for it?

[frosty rampart]

the global table that contains all the paperback-related functions and tables

[wispy falcon]

bump

[pastel kernel]

yea

[unkempt thicket]

Is its name SMODS.jest_no_back_card_collection_UIBox ?

[pastel kernel]

yea

do i need to add my own ui functions?

[unkempt thicket]

It probably be better to change the prefix, did you also add jest_create_select_card_ui?

[pastel kernel]

yes

so i still have to add ui functions?

[unkempt thicket]

If you didn't add them

Are you calling the one aij uses or a copy?

[pastel kernel]

aij

[unkempt thicket]

If its not the latter thats probably the problem

[pastel kernel]

i'm using marty's code

[unkempt thicket]

Try copying the UI functions and change the prefix.

[pastel kernel]

is it this one?

function create_joker(card_type,tag,message,extra, rarity)

wait

[pastel kernel]

what's loyalty

[unkempt thicket]

No, its called SMODS.jest_no_back_card_collection_UIBox and jest_create_select_card_ui, Its probably in the UI file.

Yea line 263

So line 263-439 and line 529-547 in Utils/UI

[pastel kernel]

line 263?

this? ```lua

Should this work?lua SMODS.Consumable { key = 'mugen', set = 'Spectral', atlas = "atlas_Slumber", pos = { x = 0, y = 0 }, soul_rate = 0.1, can_repeat_soul = true, soul_set = 'Spectral', loc_txt = { name = "MUGEN", text = {"Create a joker of {V:1}your choice{}."} }, loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card) return { vars = { colours = {SMODS.Gradients["busterb_Epileptic"]} } } end, use = function(self, card, area, copier) if #G.jokers.cards <= G.jokers.config.card_limit then G.SETTINGS.paused = true G.FUNCS.overlay_menu{ config = {no_esc = true}, definition = SMODS.busterb_no_back_card_collection_UIBox( G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker, {5,5,5}, { no_materialize = true, modify_card = function(card, center) card.sticker = get_joker_win_sticker(center) if card.config.center.discovered then busterb_create_select_card_ui(card, G.jokers) end end, h_mod = 1.05, } ), } end end }

[pastel kernel]

Do I really need to borrow all this just to make a spectral card?

[unkempt thicket]

Ah my Ui might be a little updated, and yes since thats what makes the UI.

[pastel kernel]

It works but then I can’t play a hand.

[unkempt thicket]

Just copy the functions with these names SMODS.jest_no_back_card_collection_UIBox, G.FUNCS.jest_select, jest_create_select_card_ui

[pastel kernel]

Thx

Im going to test it out now

[pastel kernel]

it still does not let me play a hand

[unkempt thicket]

I'm not sure why, if you have all the UI functions it should be working.

[pastel kernel]

this is the file i'm using.

[unkempt thicket]

Do you have any other mods enabled? Everything you have seems to be right.

[pastel kernel]

A lot of mods yeah

I should put my mod priority to at the very last

[ivory citrus]

Hello

anyone knows how can i use localize?

[pastel kernel]

I just found out they have exclusive funcs for apostle of wands so i'm using that instead. how do i use it tho?```lua
can_use = function(self, card)
return #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit
end,

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
if #G.jokers.cards < G.jokers.config.card_limit then
G.SETTINGS.paused = true

    G.FUNCS.overlay_menu {
      config = { no_esc = true },
      definition = mugen_apostle_of_wands_collection_UIBox(
        selectable_jokers,
        { 5, 5, 5 },
        {
          no_materialize = true,
          modify_card = function(other_card, center)
            other_card.sticker = get_joker_win_sticker(center)
            busterb_create_select_card_ui(other_card, G.jokers)
          end,
          h_mod = 1.05,
        }
      ),
    }
  end
end

ok this shit keeps happening, i can't make a move anytime i use the card.

[pastel kernel]

IT WORKS

[loud citrus]

the game keeps crashing because my loc_vars is invalid... i don't know what i'm doing lol

[daring fern]

Log?

[feral tree]

is there a way to detect if any joker gets added or removed in general?

[daring fern]

if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker'

[feral tree]

and the opposite is just context.card_removed?

[daring fern]

No, it's (context.selling_card or context.joker_type_destroyed)

[pastel kernel]

can i borrow from apostle of wands

i need to legally ask first

[chrome widget]

hmmm I'm having to do someting to specifically retrigger seal effects, I'm sure I can find a specific way to do this universally

[chrome widget]

Something like this......

[lyric maple]

the error says "attempt to index upvalue chosen_joker"

    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        local applicable_jokers = {}
        for _, joker in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if not card.edition == nil then applicable_jokers[#applicable_jokers + 1] = joker end
        end
        local chosen_joker = pseudorandom_element(applicable_jokers, 'ang_choice')
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                local random_edition = poll_edition("ijsj_ang", nil, true, true)
                chosen_joker:set_edition(random_edition, true)
                card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                return true
            end
        }))
    end,

[daring fern]

Change if not card.edition == nil to if joker.edition

[lyric maple]

ah

also is poll_edition automatically seed-dependent?

[warm solar]

is there a way to make a joker that does something only if the current hand's mult is higher than x?

nvm i got it

[spring lantern]

y'all know how context.card_added works? never knew about it before and thought it would be super helpful but it's not triggering the upgrade rn

wait i'm stupid

i think i may have outdone myself here

aand it works now

wait it also counts consumables

eh i'll change the text and call it a feature

[normal crest]

You can filter by doing and context.card.ability.set == "Joker" for example

[spring lantern]

ohh sweet thanks!

[normal crest]

paperback is licensed under MIT so yeah you can

[pastel kernel]

I’m gonna license mine under GPL3

[solid salmon]

-- Makes all 7s be treated as Steel and Gold
if context.check_enhancement and context.other_card.base.value == "7" then
return {
m_gold = true,
m_steel = true
}
end

Guys what does this code actually do? does it give the enhancement abilities?

guys

is there a way to check if held in hand cards have a certain enhancement

[mystic river]

it uses the quantum enhancements feature from smods

[solid salmon]

figured it out

[vale grove]

how do you add a soul over a card?

[slim ferry]

soul_pos

[vale grove]

but what about like setting the atlas and such

[slim ferry]

cant

soul sprite just uses the same atlas

as main sprite

[vale grove]

so i put my soul sprite in the jokers.png?

[slim ferry]

yeah

[vale zinc]

Running SMODS.add_card(G.hand.cards[1]) doesn't produce the card that I expected to produce. What do I do to ensure that I'm picking the right card?

[slim ferry]

you shouldnt be using add_card to copy a card regardless

use copy_card

see vanillaremade dna

[vale zinc]

I was looking at VanillaRemade Cryptid instead.

And Ortalab's Rouge Rose.

[slim ferry]

...those also use copy_card

At least they should

[vale zinc]

Rouge Rose uses SMODS.add_card(), Cryptid uses copy_card().

[slim ferry]

That is because rouge rose does not copy any cards

[tired otter]

Chat how do i make the core lua file load stuff from a different lua?

Like i have a Joker.lua file but it dosen't load stuff, it only loads them from the main lua file

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-organize-my-files

you have to put code in the main lua file to load the joker lua file

[tired otter]

oh alright, thanks!

i mean like

cdata comparison metamethods work w numbers

also you can probably just make the stuff that has invariants private

or just the entire struct

[gusty compass]

How would I utilise dotted characters for SMODS.Language, since so far it doesn't seem to be working as intended unless there is some workaround

[slim ferry]

you need to use an SMODS.Font for any characters not supported by the base balatro font, just like the vanilla languages that use a non-roman alphabet

[sudden stratus]

Hi, I'm new to modding and I've been trying to get a Joker to recognise, which card has been destroyed/added if it happens, but I only got gibberish as an output. Can someone with a higher understanding explain to me, what I'm doing wrong?

current calculate function of the joker:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.discard then 
        sendInfoMessage("removed playing card", "MyInfoLogger")
        sendInfoMessage(tableToString(context.removed), "MyInfoLogger")
    end
    if context.playing_card_added then 
        sendInfoMessage("added playing card", "MyInfoLogger")
        sendInfoMessage(tableToString(context.cards), "MyInfoLogger")

    end


end

output (I destroyed a 2 of Diamonds with hanged man, and copied a 5 of clubs with cryptid):

2025-12-09 19:42:39 :: INFO  :: MyInfoLogger :: removed playing card
2025-12-09 19:42:39 :: INFO  :: MyInfoLogger :: {1 = table: 0x1b27a5a8, }
2025-12-09 19:44:01 :: INFO  :: MyInfoLogger :: added playing card
2025-12-09 19:44:01 :: INFO  :: MyInfoLogger :: {1 = table: 0x1adf60b8, 2 = table: 0x1abb49d0, }

the tableToString function (I stole from https://luascripts.com/lua-table-to-string):

function tableToString(tbl)
    local result = "{"
    for k, v in pairs(tbl) do
        result = result .. tostring(k) .. " = " .. tostring(v) .. ", "
    end
    result = result .. "}"
    return result
end

[slim ferry]

cards are tables

theresfore it simply prints out the table into the logger, which is just a memory adress

using print while having debugplus installed would actually expand the card table to show contents

[sudden stratus]

well, I do have debug++ installed, but how do this?
do I just replace it with print(tableToString(context.removed)) and do I need to do anything in debug++?

[slim ferry]

there is a setting for it in debugplus

but its enabled by default iirc

[daring fern]

No, print(context.removed)

[weary merlin]

trying to make a joker which removes reroll cost scaling for non-free rerolls
thinking of using add_to_deck and remove_from_deck methods for this, but I don't know what I would call to prevent the reroll cost from incrementing

in other words
how do i get/set the current reroll cost
how can i interrupt the reroll cost increment

[daring fern]

Hook calculate_reroll_cost

[weary merlin]

is this as simple as redefining the function within an SMODS.joker object or might i have to do some more here

wait can't I just hook calculate_reroll_cost(skip_increment) where skip_increment is true

couldn't i just

calculate
shop reroll and not blueprint
calculate_reroll_cost(true)

hmm i'll have to try that

[daring fern]

No, that would do nothing.

[weary merlin]

yeah i have no clue how to hook here

[daring fern]

local oldcalculatererollcost = calculate_reroll_cost
function calculate_reroll_cost(skip_increment)
    if conditions then
        return oldcalculatererollcost(true)
    end
    return oldcalculatererollcost(skip_increment)
end

Also you would put it outside of the joker.

[white hull]

hey how would i return a message from the add_to_deck function?

as in have a joker say something when it's obtained
