[dull bane]

js redid it

so it wasnt even the two mods that were the issue?

[primal robin]

I see where issue happened

Go to mods folder

Find folder called lovely

Inside it dump/tag.lua

Send it here

[dull bane]

where do i find that??

[primal robin]

%appdata%/Balatro/Mods/lovey/dump/tag.lua

[primal robin]

I see

It's because of mod Arrow

@weak brook

FIx your patch please (replace 'at' to 'after')

[dull bane]

?

[dapper sun]

if you want an instant solution, disable arrow

[storm kraken]

isnt the manager down or smth?

[primal robin]

idk

Not using it

[dull bane]

workin fine for me 🤷

i uh

dont know any other way to mod the game

so

[primal robin]

Okay, so, lets do advanced stuff

Go to %appdata%/Balatro/Mods

Find folder Arrow or smth like this

[dull bane]

still nothing abt arrow

sure it aint called sumthn else?

this all of em

no "arrow"

[primal robin]

okay, then archive "cardsauce" folder and send it here

I'll do a fix

[dull bane]

?

[dull bane]

yes but

like

what am i doing with it?

[primal robin]

you dont know how to archive things?

[dull bane]

never even heard of doing that

[primal robin]

goddamnit

[storm kraken]

rigt click on the folder then compress to

[dull bane]

OHHH

DID

DI YOU MEAN COMPRESS??

I KNOW HOW TO COMPRESS

whyd u call it archive? 😭

[dapper sun]

bc zips are archives

[dull bane]

never heard it called archiving

everyone ive heard talk about it has js said compression

[storm kraken]

insane

7z calls it archives i think

[primal robin]

crazy

[storm kraken]

and also the extended context menu

[dull bane]

i barely ever get 2 use 7z so

idk

[dapper sun]

i use winrar

it also says archives

[dull bane]

barely use THAT either

[primal robin]

I changed 5 letters btw

here's your fixed version

[dull bane]

oh damn fr

[storm kraken]

mad shit

[dapper sun]

reminds me how vanilla's Card:load() has a single capitalization typo that sets a card's height to nil

[near bay]

How to check if final score is a prime number?

[primal robin]

good luck

[dapper sun]

newest smods version has that fixed tho
-# i wonder who did that

[primal robin]

It's very expensive task fyk

VERY expensive

[dapper sun]

maybe give this a read

tho that's for generating primes

not checking

[dull bane]

lmao

it worked

[storm kraken]

sooo are you gonna add a cap to that orrr

[dapper sun]

maybe this?

[storm kraken]

amazing fumble

nvm

[dapper sun]

pointing at bio

[dull bane]

ah.

[dapper sun]

don't point out our typos please

[dull bane]

erm

new problem

altho it MAY be an ezier fix i js wanna make sure

[storm kraken]

haha! i will hopefully keep that in mind!

[dapper sun]

ty

[near bay]

?

[primal robin]

checking is number a prive is VERY expensive operation for relatively big numbers

[storm kraken]

id imagine checking for primes reaching the e numbers would be really slow

[dapper sun]

imagine trying to use that prime checker joker with numberslop mods like cryptid

[primal robin]

It will tage ages to check probably

If not thousands of years

[dapper sun]

3.5#6e2 or whatever numberslop notation looks like

[storm kraken]

double e

ee

[dapper sun]

it uses # if you go big enough

i've done it in a cry run before

[storm kraken]

thats awesome

[dapper sun]

then ##

[storm kraken]

infinite prime

[primal robin]

I think that even for e100 check will take insane amount of time

[hidden notch]

Just prime-numer check the part after the e

[primal robin]

Actually, makes sense

In cryptid tho still will be insane values

[dapper sun]

maybe only check the rightmost exponent

[near bay]

Alright so I kinda get how all of this works but the code sounds very slow when comparing it to extremely high numbers

[primal robin]

Because it is

[near bay]

alright what do i do to check what the final score with be?

[hallow slate]

How do I localize rarity names?

[near bay]

actually no how do i check the current mult display?

[idle oxide]

is it possible to create a joker that upgrades the rank of cards into another rank (such as converting all 10s from deck into jacks) upon being sold after an amount of rounds (just like invis), dont really have a base to go off except invis code which for now is a bit too complex for me to understand

[delicate pivot]

I'm having a problem, probably a syntax one for using Malverk: I'm trying to use Malverk to replace the default card sprites in the game using this:

AltTexture({ -- Replace Cards
key = 'new_cards',
set = 'Default',
path = 'spritesheet.png',
keys = {
'c_base' = true
},
})

-- But I keep getting this error:
Oops! The game crashed:
[SMODS _ "src/loader.lua"]:571: [SMODS TestMod "main.lua"]:92: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 91) near '='

I can provide the actual main.lua if needed (I changed the mod name and key for temp reasons.)

[wintry solar]

Set should be Enhanced

iirc

[delicate pivot]

I'll try it.

I got the same error

[wintry solar]

Oh there’s a syntax error somewhere

Can you share the file

[delicate pivot]

yeah, one sec

[loud citrus]

Everything you're trying to do is possible by looking at the vanilla code, take a look through (what is now my new favorite resource)
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade

[wintry solar]

Oh

[delicate pivot]

wait, i see a small error in the temp thing i did. ignore the new_cards part, that wasn't supposed to be there

[wintry solar]

Remove = true

From the keys table

[loud citrus]

Just trying things lol
An inconsistency compared to your other lines of code

[delicate pivot]

I'll try that, the new_cards part should be retro_cards, I fixed that real quick. I'll test these fixes, thanks

[wintry solar]

It’s just the = true

Everything else looks fine

[dapper sun]

extra commas at the end of tables don't cause errors

[harsh belfry]

you can’t key that table like that I think

for string keys you use [] those

along with the quotes

but you can also just remove the quotes

[delicate pivot]

It doesn't crash now, but it doesn't use the sprite I placed in the folder (2x) sprite called "spritesheet.png" which is a new blank card sprite

To correct myself, I placed a new sprite called (spritesheet.png) in the assets folder of my malverk pack. The image looks like this:

[wintry solar]

I’d have to check on my pc, hold on let me boot it up

[idle oxide]

thank you! ill look through it again tomorrow, mustve missed some crucial bits of it if i thought my idea cant be achieved

[delicate pivot]

Currently, it just does this:

[dapper sun]

baltro

[loud citrus]

My paranoia has subsided

[loud citrus]

It's gonna get wacky, but it's very doable
You're probably gonna look at cards that request a certain rank, invisible joker and ouija

[idle oxide]

got it

[quartz ravine]

Happy Holidays everyone! In case someone missed it, the Youtuber 'Fir' did a really fun video where he enabled 40+ community mods in his Balatro and recorderd the outcome! It was really great to see the mods of so many folks I know from here on his video!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfejblgDZGo

@long sun , @tall wharf and many many others!

I felt so proud of my peers here to see their cool stuff shown off!

[long sun]

YAY yesyes!!

I snagged the end of the stream :3!

[dapper sun]

i remember seeing niko send this in hotpot discord

[long sun]

it was like

so cool

[primal robin]

• maximus
• vanilla

[stoic void]

they should play my mod now

I have now got a release

everyone should play my mod

[quartz ravine]

It exposed me to the ModManager which I totally missed. Turns out you neeed to do work to publish your mod there

[delicate pivot]

I couldn't figure it out, but I think I have a workaround that might work. Just make the deck skin have the white part so I can use my custom sprites. I guess it worked out in a way

[primal robin]

video thumbnail so cool tho, I like it

[loud citrus]

That helped massively! But now I'm trying to figure out how to only debuff clubs.
Removed the context.other_card so I know I'm on the right track, was trying to put :is_suit and still got a nil value

[slim ferry]

context.debuff_card:is_suit("Clubs")?

[loud citrus]

Yeah

[wintry solar]

do you definitely have the file in both 1x and 2x folders? it seems to work fine on my end

[slim ferry]

you should check context.debuff_card on its own first, then the cardarea check, and then the suit check

[white hull]

also it should be context.cardarea

[slim ferry]

No, that doesnt exist in context.debuff_card

[white hull]

on its own instead of context.debuff_card.area

[loud citrus]

wait, this isn't right
i was just doing one step at a time because doing everything at once won't teach me as much, why is context.debuff_card nil in general???

[slim ferry]

its nil because it doesnt always exist when calculate is called

checking context.debuff_card first makes sure that it isnt nil

[loud citrus]

oh, that's wacky

[slim ferry]

and doing the cardarea check second makes sure that the card has a suit and that is_suit will therefore work on it

[loud citrus]

it's not crashing but nothing is getting debuffed, the first line works, it's the other two i can't seem to figure out.

[slim ferry]

it should be context.debuff_card.area, not context.cardarea

besides that it should work, so idk

[loud citrus]

WOW, i'm shocked that just splitting the checks worked!!!
now i have no tools for problem solving :)

thank you so much!

[slim ferry]

you can put all the checks into a single if statement btw, its just the order that matters

[wintry solar]

Update calc guide is live! 🥳

[tranquil cypress]

peak

woah this is great

[hot remnant]

Hi! Making my first mod, quick question: Is it possible to check the size of a played hand before the cards are scored?

I keep trying to compare the played hand size to a set value (3, like half joker) but it appears the value is null, and my game keeps crashing.

[loud citrus]

#context.full_hand

you can check for values like if it was square joker it would be
#context.full_hand == 4

i'm not sure how helpful that is

you could also do (as an example)
card.ability.extra.chips = card.ability.extra.chips*#context.full_hand
though i haven't tested

[loud citrus]

okay so this works, but i need it to count debuffed clubs instead of not debuffed clubs

[daring fern]

if playing_card.debuff

[loud citrus]

like this?

[toxic cave]

where does the game undo the effects of a defeated boss blind? i see Blind:defeat() but it doesnt seem to do much

[daring fern]

No, if playing_card:is_suit('Clubs', true) and playing_card.debuff

[daring fern]

No, it is Blind:defeat

[toxic cave]

well this doesnt seem to do much besides fucking up the UI a bit so im not sure if thats what actually undoes boss blind effects after beating them

[daring fern]

Are you trying to make it so boss blind effects are permanent?

[toxic cave]

yeah i tried to do that a while ago but it flopped and rn im revisiting the idea

[daring fern]

Yes, you would have to use the code I sent you.

[toxic cave]

well if you recall, according to you it doesnt work on vanilla blinds, and i have asked several people many times for solutions and got none

[daring fern]

You would have to do the effects of the vanilla blinds manually.

[loud citrus]

same result, no tally if debuffed

[daring fern]

Code?

[toxic cave]

vanillaremade clutching for the 13th billion time

[cinder elk]

rq where does balatro store its joker code

[loud citrus]

card.lua

[cinder elk]

got it

how do i make it so a card is check to see if it's a wild card

just curious

[daring fern]

if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_wild')

[harsh belfry]

ooh as a side note

[cinder elk]

like this right

[harsh belfry]

something can be all suits without being wild

so do you want to check for wild specifically

or all suits

[cinder elk]

just wild specifically

it's a jungle themed joker

so

wild

wild jungle

ehhhh

[harsh belfry]

balatrue

[cinder elk]

so like this right

[wind steppe]

you dont need card = card

[harsh belfry]

the () is not needed

vaporize

[wind steppe]

also i dont think thats the right context for retriggering?

the check works

[harsh belfry]

context.repetition instead i think

[wind steppe]

(still keep the cardarea check)

[harsh belfry]

and its repetitions = 1

[hot remnant]

Thank you for the answer, I appreciate it.

That was the solution I was trying, but it kept giving an error message to the effect of "Cannot compare null to table"

I'll figure it out tho. At least now I know I'm on the right track lol

[harsh belfry]

instead of retrigger = true

[daring fern]

No, it would be if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild')

[wind steppe]

why is my localize call not loading the description?

this is a lovely patch in generate_card_ui

this is the localization entry

[cinder elk]

so like this.

???

[daring fern]

if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    if SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_wild') then
        return {repetitions = 1}
    end
end

[cinder elk]

ehhh?

[wind steppe]

that should do it

[cinder elk]

got it

lemme check

YEP

thanks much

i'll try and be more active here

i want to

learn.

[hot remnant]

Oh this helped me realize I was using a single = and not == haha

Thats probably why it was giving me an error

[loud citrus]

lol

I forget often, so my favorite way to remember is

Are you checking? ==
Are you declaring? =

It's obtuse but having an easy question to help you stop and think goes a long way.

[hot remnant]

Its so silly cause I've been in computer science for so long, you'd think I'd remember those kinds of things, but I still forget commas and ending functions lolll

[wind steppe]

bump

[loud citrus]

It's always the little things :)

[hot drift]

no way, its them

[round lion]

cant have shit in balatro

i tried to modify the hands played thing to add a clause which refunds the hand immedietely if a eval returns true

it never worked

my mom then blamed the resulting panic attack over the video game

[jolly shadow]

oh my fucking god

[quartz ravine]

What's your mod? Is it on ModManager?

[hot drift]

lbp in the big 2025

[vague crest]

Littleb.... ligglbigp... littglebuh... bigplsnet... buhhhh

🥺

This could change the game

Wait ninjabanana??

[hot drift]

heya

I've been here a while

mainly over in cryptid discord (and clams more recently)

[tall wharf]

wait was i just in chat

[unkempt thicket]

There was so much more content between 0.5.2 and 0.6.0 of AIJ... if only he updated it T_T

[loud citrus]

how would one count debuffed cards like cloud 9?
i'm trying to count every debuffed club in a deck

[loud citrus]

i have this but playing_card.debuff doesn't work

[spiral mural]

someone REALLY should make a guide on custom context

[quartz ravine]

Like what would be in that guide?

[spiral mural]

its not obtuse to create a context, its obtuse on handling the return tables and i just have no damn clue on that

[quartz ravine]

hmmm that is interesting. I've never added a context. I would have to look at something like context.destroying_card or repetition to see how they handle their inputs to see whats going on. Also how you even register a context window and when that should happen

[harsh belfry]

context window is a myth

theres a function you can call

that is passed as context

[spiral mural]

context wunkdow is NOT a myth...

[harsh belfry]

for every single thing

it don't even have to be a table

(don't do that though)

[spiral mural]

how are context return tables even returned as

big table

a horrible tuple?

is it in cardarea area...

[harsh belfry]

SMODS.calculate_context type shit

[umbral zodiac]

don't call them tuples!

[spiral mural]

what do i call them...

[umbral zodiac]

Tables..

[spiral mural]

i hate tables

[gaunt thistle]

https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/45

[umbral zodiac]

who is Mike Pall

[spiral mural]

who is mike pall

[gaunt thistle]

luajit's dad

he made the whole thing, still does

[sturdy compass]

Why is he being cloned

what

[gaunt thistle]

oh my god nevermind 😭

[umbral zodiac]

more is better i think

[loud summit]

hey is there any way to force localize() to use a specific language

[daring fern]

No, because localize just looks at the localization.

[normal crest]

so you'd have to load the localization file you want yourself

that's done in game.lua in the Game:set_language function

[loud summit]

dam

[wind steppe]

bump

speaking of localize

[loud summit]

im pretty sure other indexes into the misc.dictionary section

[faint yacht]

mfw

function togabalatro.talismanjoke()
    local rtxt = G.localization.misc.ui_strings.toga_talismanjoke

[teal grotto]

        local other_joker = context.card
        if other_joker and other_joker.ability then
            local result = {}
            if other_joker.ability.extra and type(other_joker.ability.extra) == "table" then
                if other_joker.ability.extra.chips and other_joker.ability.extra.chips ~= 0 then
                    result.x_chips = other_joker.ability.extra.chips
                end
            end
            if next(result) then
                return result
            end
        end
    end,```
how do i make this trigger when other jokers trigger

[wind steppe]

ive tried type = "para_items" as well and no luck

[loud summit]

no like

where is your localization entry

[wind steppe]

context.post_trigger

[loud summit]

type can only be a few hardcoded ones

[wind steppe]

its an optional feature that you should look into

dont know too much about it unfortunately

[teal grotto]

i tried but like how do i get the card which triggered

[wind steppe]

descriptions\

[daring fern]

context.other_card

[teal grotto]

oh

[loud summit]

type = "descriptions", set = "para_items", key = "para_itemeternal"

[teal grotto]

tysm ive been trying for so long
and its that easy

[wind steppe]

small problem

[loud summit]

oh

try returning the same thing in vars and config

[wind steppe]

same crash

[loud summit]

type = "description"?

[wind steppe]

we

we're back to our original issue

hm actually let me try something

[loud summit]

try putting localize{ type = "description"... into the debugplus console

[wind steppe]

maybe it wont look for the loc_vars if i remove #1# and #2#

[wind steppe]

different separate crash which comes from running it without nodes i think (because i cant give it any nodes to render on from the console)

[loud summit]

hhhhh

localization is cursed

[wind steppe]

thanks balatro very cool

[loud summit]

big

[reef belfry]

ending the round as soom as entering a blind, how do i make it so the cards do not draw?

[daring fern]

Code?

[reef belfry]

cant send the entire joker code for reasons

[daring fern]

Try putting the end_round in an event.

[reef belfry]

it doesnt work still (actually wait)

yeah still doesnt work

[loud citrus]

i'm trying to make it so on discard debuffed clubs trigger adding mult, but nothing is happening
(i decided to pivot to what is better game design and what should be much simpler to code)

[daring fern]

Debuffed cards aren't calculated.

[loud citrus]

tragic, is there any possible work around?

or any a mod has done?

[daring fern]

You could do it on context.pre_discard but it wouldn't directly trigger on the cards being discarded.

[loud citrus]

that's fine :)
it's the joker itself i truly care about

[loud citrus]

well there is progess, now it crashes saying other_card is nil lol
is it because the card is debuffed?

[daring fern]

No, it's because you have to iterate over context.full_hand

[stoic void]

its not on mod manager
its called degeneracy

[loud citrus]

if context.full_hand and context.pre_discard and context.other_card.debuff and context.other_card:is_suit("Clubs") then
still nil though i'm not familiar with how to use context.full_hand

[daring fern]

if context.pre_discard then
    for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
        if v:is_suit('Clubs', true) and v.debuff then
            card.ability.mult = card.ability.mult+1
        end
    end
end

[gilded blaze]

that wouldn't work

Card:is_suit(suit) already returns false if the card is debuffed

use Card:is_suit(suit, true) instead, it bypasses debuff state

[loud citrus]

i was doing this fo r so long i'm still in shock it now works, what would i do without the leader in our community

[storm kraken]

😔
-# and yes, the card area DOES exist because trying to remove a card returns a nil error

[golden field]

question: how do i make a seal retrigger OTHER scored cards

[daring fern]

#💻・modding-dev message

[golden field]

i dont understand

please explain

[daring fern]

What do you not understand about it?

[golden field]

honestly
like all of it 😭

[golden field]

i need to know what parts are not needed in what i'm trying to do

[daring fern]

You would have to change most things in the if v:get_seal() == 'modprefix_key' to make it retrigger the cards you want instead of adjacent cards.

[golden field]

is this correct

SMODS.Seal {
    key = 'club',
    atlas = 'wacleseals',
    pos = { x = 3, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { repetitions = 1 } },
    badge_colour = HEX("5186a8"),
    
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.repetition then
            local retriggers, my_pos, full_hand = {}, 0, CardArea.is(context.cardarea, CardArea) and context.cardarea.cards or context.full_hand or G.play.cards
            for k, v in pairs(full_hand) do
                if v == context.other_card then
                    my_pos = k
                end
                if not v:is_suit('Clubs') then
                    retriggers[k] = {repetitions = 1, card = v}
                end
            end
            if retriggers[my_pos] then
                return {repetitions = retriggers[my_pos].repetitions, message_card = retriggers[my_pos].card}
            end
        end
    end
}

[daring fern]

No, you have to use the mod calculate.

[golden field]

what

[daring fern]

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

[golden field]

ah

thanks

[golden field]

so smth like this

    SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
        if context.repetition then
            local retriggers, my_pos, full_hand = {}, 0, CardArea.is(context.cardarea, CardArea) and context.cardarea.cards or context.full_hand or G.play.cards
            for k, v in pairs(full_hand) do
                if v == context.other_card then
                    my_pos = k
                end
                if not v:is_suit('Clubs') then
                    retriggers[k] = {repetitions = 1, card = v}
                end
            end
            if retriggers[my_pos] then
                return {repetitions = retriggers[my_pos].repetitions, message_card = retriggers[my_pos].card}
            end
        end
    end

or do i have to put SMODS.calculate under calculate =

[daring fern]

No, you need to check if the card has the seal.

[golden field]

i want it to retrigger if it isn't clubs tho

[daring fern]

You mean you want cards with that seal to retrigger all other cards that aren't Clubs?

[golden field]

yep

all other scored cards

[daring fern]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
        local retriggers, my_pos, full_hand = {}, 0, context.scoring_hand or context.full_hand or G.play.cards
        for k, v in pairs(full_hand) do
            if v == context.other_card then
                my_pos = k
            end
            if v:get_seal() == 'modprefix_key' then
                for kk, vv in pairs(full_hand) do
                    if not vv:is_suit('Clubs') and vv ~= v then

ah thanks

[golden field]

huh

[daring fern]

No, it needs to be outside of the seal.

[golden field]

ah

omg it works tysm

[golden field]

why does this reflip the card when scored right after being unflipped

        if card.facing == 'front' and not context.main_scoring and context.cardarea ~= G.play then card:flip() end
        if card.facing == 'back' and context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then card:flip() end

[bold sleet]

help

[storm kraken]

h

[bold sleet]

The question is simply how do I clear these boxes as if there was no hand selected?

[prisma loom]

Folks, I have a function that doubles ante scaling by X2 for the rest of the run when you beat the Blind by scoring X2 the requirement. I want to tone down this effect to make it work on the next Blind only. How should I adjust the code to do that?

(ignore prints)

[storm kraken]

hm

have a variable that decreases or whatever at the end of the next blind

then you check if that variable has done its thing

[wintry solar]

Look for update_hand_text

[bold sleet]

:3

[harsh belfry]

empty strin

g

just empty string

you were like 99% of the way there lmao

[bold sleet]

ah

[harsh belfry]

oh and mult and chips should be 0 instead of empty string

[bold sleet]

amazing

[faint yacht]

...where in localization file do I define the text and labels for a custom ConsumableType?

[bold sleet]

descriptions[ConsumableType][c_prefix_key]

example

[prisma loom]

I'd like to make it so the score displayed is only changed on the next blind

Otherwise itd be a bit confusing

[faint yacht]

...so, in my case,

SMODS.ConsumableType{
    key = "togaitem",
    ...
}

would be this?

[bold sleet]

I suppose it in misc.labels

[bold sleet]

No idea, sorry.

[storm kraken]

this is really funny to me for no reason lmao

[bold sleet]

people.you

[storm kraken]

new function:
ObjectType:kill(key)

can you guess what it does

[bold sleet]

clueless

[olive path]

any way to check if a card was face down before getting played?
tried to use card.facing == "down", but doesn't work bc the card gets flipped before getting scored

[storm kraken]

hey guys does anyone want another code dump from me being the clueless soul i am and asking for help on the simplest of stuff 🥺

[primal robin]

sure why not

[bold sleet]

Send it.

[storm kraken]

so my awesome code (on the right) hits me with the crash (on the left) whenever i try exiting and entering the uibox (its a menu)

i assume its something to do with how i remove the cards from the cardarea on leave but i need help please 🥺

[primal robin]

When cardarea is removed it deletes cards for some reason

aka you're trying to do smth with removed card area

[storm kraken]

oh

[primal robin]

G.FUNCS.market_clean = function()
    for i = 1, 5 do
        G.fish_cards.cards[1]:remove()
        if i == 5 then
            G.FUNCS.exit_overlay_menu()
        end
    end
end

wtf is this

[storm kraken]

so i need to re add the card area?

[storm kraken]

the cards just sorta stay floating if i dont remove them manually

[primal robin]

I do believe you doing something wrong if you need to do this on market closing

[storm kraken]

thats why im asking for help 🥺

[primal robin]

Decent amount of things here to cover

Starting from G.FUNCS.market be too generic name

Prefix all your stuff

[storm kraken]

uhh

sure!

[primal robin]

Then, you shouldnt store your stuff in just G

[storm kraken]

uhhhhh

sure!

[primal robin]

If you have own global object, use it instead

Because, game saves all card areas added to G object, which you probably don't want right

[storm kraken]

uhhhhhhh

idk

uhh i dont think i want that no

[primal robin]

When you have area added to UI via G.UIT.O, when UI is removed, it removes area and cards in it automatically, so you dont need cleanup them

But reference in G will contain removed card area

And attempt to add cards in it will crash because, well, it's removed

[hushed briar]

trying to fix bugs that have popped up with my mod since ive been away for a while, anyone know why trading card might not be active despite discards used being 0?

[storm kraken]

ohhh

[primal robin]

holy, wtf

[storm kraken]

G slop

[primal robin]

that's not how localization should work ideally but okay, sure

[storm kraken]

the menu looks like this if that helps at all

[primal robin]

not the prettiest ui I seen I'll be fair

[storm kraken]

if i nest it in a variable deeper than G (say G.X) will that have the same issue?

[storm kraken]

yeah

i agree it looks horrendous but it gets its job done

[primal robin]

Common practice for mods is have own global object where you store and manage your stuff

I guess you dont have one, that's okay

In theory you can make G.FishMarket = {} and store stuff here

[storm kraken]

hmmm k

i'll experiment more tomorrow

[vocal cedar]

Eyold Merry Christmas fellas

Im only active in this specific channel lol

[steel quail]

So
how does one create a mod for this game.
I am a bit intrigued

[hardy vessel]

Is there a way to re-enable a boss blind after it has been disabled?

[elder rune]

Yeah gimme a sec

[elder rune]

https://github.com/BBreuhh/Oscilllate/blob/main/Oscillate/items/Rare.lua

First joker at the top re-enables the boss blind

[storm kraken]

you can take a look at the smods wiki (you should find the smods github repo simply by searching for it lmao)

tho i learnt from a video guide

[hardy vessel]

seems simple enough, thank you

[elder rune]

Np

[daring fern]

No, it wouldn't work for blinds that use set_blind

[elder rune]

Haven't encountered that problem so I didn't know

[steel quail]

Alright

[hushed briar]

this is so frustrating because its only happening sometimes

like its random if trading card just doesnt work or not

[steel quail]

Seems like a lot (0_0)υ
so far

[hushed briar]

and looking at the code, G.GAME.current_round.discards_used is the only value trading card really checks so i have no idea what i couldve done to break it

[elder rune]

What do you want to do exactly? New jokers?

[storm kraken]

uhh

[steel quail]

Yes! I'd like to try and do that first.

[storm kraken]

try using your own variables then update that with discards

[elder rune]

Okay when I first got into modding I honestly checked how other mods did stuff and then made mine based off that. But the most important files are a "manifest" file that basically is the thing that loads in the mod essentially with some other info. And a "main" file that is usually for loading in other files and some function definitions

[steel quail]

ohhh alright

would getting the cryptid mod be a good start?

[elder rune]

Vanilla remade is a good one to check

[steel quail]

Alr

[elder rune]

Just all vanilla stuff made with smods stuff

[storm kraken]

tf is a manifest file bro

[versed swan]

Hard no; its code is not like most other mods, instead structured to meet its own unique needs; its code is not good to learn from as a beginner

[elder rune]

That's what I did but cryptid is not a good one if imma be honest

[steel quail]

Ohhh

[storm kraken]

really you only need a main.lua, asset folder with images (1x and 2x sub folders), json with mod info

[elder rune]

Y'know the file that says what the displayname of the mod is and color

[storm kraken]

aint that the .json

[elder rune]

Ig

I just call it the manifest cause that's what I name it normally

[versed swan]

That's usually what those kinds of files are called

[elder rune]

Yeah exactly

[storm kraken]

oh well

learn something new every day

[elder rune]

Real

[elder rune]

So how far have you gotten now?

[steel quail]

Im attempting to download everything from the smods guide

[elder rune]

Alr

[storm kraken]

balatro modding is like an in quint easing

it starts easy then you get 500 crashes of doom

[steel quail]

ok i think i got the lovely injector working!!

[elder rune]

The game crashes cause you forgot to add one end

[storm kraken]

nope

forget a double =

from being so tired

maybe you miss a bracket

type o instead of i

[elder rune]

Legit my game crashed and I couldn't figure out why for 2 hours until I saw that I forgot 2 parentheses in the loading

[storm kraken]

💔

[elder rune]

Also play stocking stuffer now

[storm kraken]

dont you check the crashlog

[elder rune]

I read it

[steel quail]

I got a question about the downloading steps

Do i put the extracted steammodded folder in Balatro's mods folder?

[storm kraken]

in appdate/roaming

[elder rune]

Yeah

[steel quail]

Ok i think did it!

[noble violet]

help?....

[brazen kite]

is there a way i could like. hook into lucky cards? (i'm trying to make a joker which replaces the +mult on lucky cards with xmult and it's currently working but it requires taking ownership of the entire enhancement which feels inelegant)

[lilac trail]

I need to localize my files, what is the format for localizing Jokers?

is it {prefix}_j_{name of joker}

[daring fern]

No, it's j_modprefix_key

[lilac trail]

thx

What are the standard highlighting colors?

I know Mult is often highlighted with red. Chips are sometimes highlighted with blue as well

Is there any "standard" for Jokers?

[slim ferry]

usually the name of any given item is highlighted with {C:attention}, with the exception of consumables which are highlighted with the colour of their consumable type

[hot drift]

is there a context for determining if you are currently in a blind?

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.blind and G.GAME.blind.in_blind

[hot drift]

[idle oxide]

coming back from last night with the idea i had about a joker similar to invis but that converts cards of a rank to another once sold, i implemented it but:

1. it doesnt track progress
2. im not sure if the actual transformation is correct
   would appreciate if someone tells me where it went wrong and if i did it correctly

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.total_rounds, card.ability.extra.invis_rounds } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint and not context.repetition then
            card.ability.extra.invis_rounds = card.ability.extra.invis_rounds + 1
        end
        if context.selling_self and card.ability.extra.invis_rounds >= card.ability.extra.total_rounds then
            for i = 1, #G.playing_cards do
                local deck_card = G.playing_cards[i]
        if deck_card:get_id() == 11 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    local _card = G.deck[i]
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(deck_card, nil, "Queen"))
                    return true
                end
                }))
                    break
                end
            end
        end
        return {
            message = (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds < card.ability.extra.total_rounds) and
                (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds .. '/' .. card.ability.extra.total_rounds) or
                localize('k_active_ex'),
            colour = G.C.FILTER
        }
    end
}```

[chrome widget]

Is anyone here able to help with an accurate conversion of a node's coordinates to screenspace coordinates?

The base coordinate system conversion as the cursor implies is simply self.T.x/y * G.TILESIZE * G.TILESCALE, but it seems like for nodes they have some offset using self.shadow_parrallax and some other built-in offsets that I can't quite wrap my head around. The result is that the offset betweeen the base coord conversion and the real node's screen position looks something like this, but I haven't been able to wrap my head around what math gets me a consistent result to the real screenspace

[slim ferry]

is there anything wrong with this extension? the consumable type definitely exists and it does work when i have the set as the exact same thing in an SMODS.Consumable yet when i try to use the extension it crashes on launch

log

actually nevermind i might be stupid

[feral tree]

how can i check if the player has a specific achievement?

[chrome widget]

aaaand it was so simple

lmao

[feral tree]

wait do achievements even stay earned even after you disable and enable the mod?

[upper quarry]

yeah, i believe achievements are saved to player data which persists even after a mod is disabled

[errant fulcrum]

I'm trying to pull the enhancement key for the card that a seal is on, but I keeps saying center is a nil value. This is the line of code that mentions center:

local enh_key = card.config.center.key
Am I going about it wrong?

[idle oxide]

bump for anyone that has more of a clue on whats happening for it to go wrong

and other issues

[delicate pivot]

Still encountering an issue with something I tried to do. I tried to replace the white part of the card with a new default one and it shows up invisible now. I have an image called "retro_cards.png" in the (2x) folder and I have the code for the alt texture, but it doesn't work. Any ideas on what I did wrong? I've been stuck for a while trying to figure it out. (I'm using Malverk)

AltTexture({ -- Replace Cards
key = 'retro_cards',
set = 'Enhanced',
path = 'retro_cards.png',
keys = {
'c_base'
}
})

[wintry solar]

Can you send your main file again?

@delicate pivot

[feral tree]

is there a context to detect if you've won a run?

[viscid talon]

nvm i tried it again weeks lalter and its broken

SOBS

i hate this game

[rocky plaza]

Remind me again
What was your goal

with that

[viscid talon]

eremel helped me

[rocky plaza]

ah

[rocky plaza]

were you still having problems with that one blind?

[spiral mural]

how do i get the currently selected joker

[rocky plaza]

G.jokers.highlighted[1]

[spiral mural]

thanks

how to get the rarity of a joker

[rocky plaza]

card.config.center.rarity
iirc

where card is a joker

if you're checking if a card is a certain rarity

you can just do
card:is_rarity(rarity)

[spiral mural]

i'm checking if a rarity is higher then another one

[rocky plaza]

SMODS currently does not implement an ordering system for rarities

but for common - uncommon - rare - legendary they have number aliases

[spiral mural]

rarities are stored as numbers by default

yea

[viscid talon]

yes

[rocky plaza]

what is the status of your current blind code

i have to leave temporarily but ping me so i can get back to it easier

[granite jay]

Oooo what is this mod?

[rocky plaza]

Not modded rarities though
Though someone is working on a numerical ordering system for modded rarities

[spiral mural]

yea

just know that i know this will mostly work for my usecase

[rocky plaza]

If it works then it works

[spiral mural]

i think you can try use G.GAME.won

[golden field]

question: how do i get the length of played hand as a number

[daring fern]

#context.full_hand

[golden field]

thanks

why does this keep returning +0 mult when i play a hand with less than 5 cards

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.before and context.cardarea == G.play then
            mult = mult + ( (5 - #context.full_hand) * 11 )
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.seal.extra.mult } },
                colour = HEX("575757")
            }            
        end
    end

mult = 0, manacle_mult = 11 btw

[daring fern]

Put the mult in the return.

[golden field]

so like this

[daring fern]

Remove the mult +

[golden field]

ah

[golden field]

i want to make it scale by adding that tho

-# nvm it just rebalanced the effect lmao thanks

way way late response just realized but yeah just find blueprint

[spiral mural]

where is every playing card sstored

[faint yacht]

G.playing_cards

[spiral mural]

is there a context for when a card spawns in

[faint yacht]

context.setting_ability?

[spiral mural]

sounds like it?

how to check what type of card something is

[storm kraken]

theres the card's set

which is like 'Tarot' 'Joker' etc

[spiral mural]

playing card?

does that have a set

[storm kraken]

i think its 'Base'

[spiral mural]

will try

[storm kraken]

tho i havent really needed to get the set of a playing card before

i just know its sometimes referred to as 'Base' in the code

[spiral mural]

is there any setting in set_edition, set_ability, or set_seal that allows you to mute the sound they would otherwise make?

[spiral mural]

doesn't appear to be the case?

[faint yacht]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[faint yacht]

hec

[spiral mural]

i saw another mod doing a forever running event for setting prices

i guess i couldl do that

but how do i stop it when the joker ceases to exist/gets debuffed

[faint yacht]

...wouldn't a return true kill said event?

[spiral mural]

i know that

but how do i check the joker ceasing to exist/debuffed

(and how to start it back up when the joker stops being debuffed)

@faint yacht

[faint yacht]

Stopping the event is return true if not next(SMODS.find_card('j_mod_key'))... but bringing it back up?

Or just do nothing if not next(SMODS.find_card('j_toga_notsosmileyface')) in the event.

[spiral mural]

wait find_card excludes debuffed cardss?

[faint yacht]

SMODS.find_card(key, count_debuffed)

[spiral mural]

makes sense

[storm kraken]

time for pain

[weary merlin]

how do i make a joker not appear nor count in the collection?

[weary merlin]

doesn't seem to work for me :/

[storm kraken]

damn

[weary merlin]

is it possible to swap between two atlas pos indexes based on a joker's local variable?

[daring fern]

Yes, every time you change it you would do card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = x, y = y})

[weary merlin]

thanks

[storm kraken]

its so easy to lose track of balatro ui im crying

ive had to look for the node i was already editing again like 5 times

[vale crow]

Is the parts table of poker hand parts global name "parts"? I need to define a poker hand part in terms of another, like parts._all_pairs is define as the merged parts._2

[golden field]

i fucking swear to GOD this was working earlier why is it not now all of a sudden

[vale crow]

Try and separate local full_hand? the Boolean expression might give you problems.

[golden field]

-# i've made several copies of this code with modifications and when i add a copy only that copy works

-# ...do i just send my entire fucking file or smth 😭

[golden field]

what

[vale crow]

local retriggers, my_pos, full_hand = {}, 0, context.scoring_hand or context.full_hand or G.play.cards
instead do this
local retriggers, my_pos = {}, 0
local full_hand = context.scoring_hand or context.full_hand or G.play.cards

[golden field]

ah noted

[golden field]

...still broken

[vale crow]

local retriggers, my_pos = {}, 1
since it seems you use my_pose as the index of a table

[vale crow]

Does the crash have something to do with indexing a nil value or any other non-table value?

Does it even crash?

[golden field]

does not crash, it just straight up does not retrigger

[vale crow]

Try and put some print() to see what code is executed

[reef belfry]

still nabbing at this

ive made a hook that "works" where cards arent being drawn

but the game state itself is just frozen

i dont wanna learn the ins and outs of how balatro operates the states so if anyone actually knows...

[reef belfry]

(specifically if the round doesnt end, but when i force the round to end the cards still draw)

[golden field]

-# decided to revert it back since the minor changes didnt rlly work

[daring fern]

No, those are the exact same.

[daring fern]

No, my_pos should always be set.

[golden field]

oh my fucking god 😭

it's because you can't have more than one calculate

the lowest one overrides the ones on top 😭

welp tiem to learn how to add more code files

[daring fern]

You just put the code in the other ones in the first one.

[golden field]

ah

oh my fucking god i'm stoopid

i'm trying to identify the blind's name, how would i do so?

[daring fern]

localize({type = 'name_text', key = 'bl_modprefix_key', set = 'Blind'})

[loud citrus]

i'm actually trying to create a joker that shares the same name as the current blind, should have been more specific
i know how to create a joker, just need the name

also i have made the jokers with the names

[daring fern]

key = 'j_modprefix_'..localize({type = 'name_text', key = G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key, set = 'Blind'}):lower()

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[daring fern]

What is a sliced consumable?

[pastel kernel]

Destroyed

Rubys gonna guide me since were using Entropy’s stuff

[daring fern]

No, you should be using SMODS.shallow_copy to make a fake card.

[pastel kernel]

You might need to ask Ruby about that, Also this is a crossmod for Entropy so…

[loud citrus]

what do i need to change about my key?

[reef belfry]

this joker is hell and this is my punishment

hey atleast it didnt draw the cards

oh cool now the hand doesnt update to draw cards

i might actually use this for the future

[junior tapir]

So I want to implement a functionality that once a hand is played, at the end of the scoring it nullifies the score and returns the played cards to the hand. But whether I try it with a boolean that changes on context or contexts themselves, it doesn't work properly (I've listed what I've tried so far). Can anyone help out?

config = {
    used = false,
    last_score = 0,
    hand_incoming = false,
    hand_cards = {}
},

-- "Once per round at end of scoring process revert the played hand by selecting and dragging this joker"
-- no need to synchronize between several copies of the joker since you can't be dragging two jokers at once
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.blind then
        card.ability.used = false
        card.ability.hand_incoming = false
    end

    -- intended if hand_incoming boolean used
    -- context. :  press_play, after 
    --  (for some reason context.before triggers it even not during hand playing, but everywhere else too, go figure)
    if context.press_play then
        card.ability.last_score = G.GAME.chips
        card.ability.hand_incoming = true
    end

    -- context. :  individual (triggers mr bones - beats blind after score nullified),
    --             main_eval (triggers it basically at all times),
    --             joker_main, post_joker, edition (don't work at all)
    if card.states.drag.is and not card.ability.used and context.edition then -- the third boolean I swap
        card.ability.used = true

        G.GAME.chips = card.ability.last_score
        G.GAME.current_round.hands_left = G.GAME.current_round.hands_left + 1

        -- TODO return played non-destroyed cards into hand
    end

    -- intended if hand_incoming boolean used
    -- context. :  hand_drawn, final_scoring_step
    if context.hand_drawn or context.end_of_round then
        card.ability.hand_incoming = false
    end
end

Currently I've made it so proccing the joker happens by selecting and dragging it, maybe I try a different approach, but I've made it somewhat work so far

I have to mention that with the card.ability.hand_incoming parameter things work only until the first played hand, after that it triggers non-chalantly at all times

[loud citrus]

correction, key wasn't the issue

fixed it!!!!

didn't need to make everything lower case lol
honestly the solution was much simpler than i thought

now i just need to figure out how to make a fail safe if it encounters an unsupported modded blind.

[loud citrus]

how can i identify if the current blind is a modded blind?

[pastel kernel]

how do i make it so that this makes exceptions for rare consumableslua if G.consumeables and #G.consumeables.cards > 0 then local itemcut = {} for i = 1, #G.consumeables.cards do if not G.consumeables.cards[i].ability.eternal and not G.consumeables.cards[i].getting_sliced and not consumable.config.center.hidden then itemcut[#itemcut+1] = G.consumeables.cards[i] end end

[storm kraken]

i guess you could just look for every vanilla blind and say anything that isnt a vanilla blind is a modded blin

d

[storm kraken]

do consumeables have rarities??

am i stupid??

[pastel kernel]

soul is a rare consumable

rare consumables are hidden by default

[storm kraken]

oh uh

just uhh check for those consumeable's keys then ig?

there shouldnt be too many

[sharp anchor]

mornin all, apologies for what is likely a very noob-y question, but i'm trying to make a deck modify the rate at which specific booster packs appear in the shop. is there a good pre-existing solution for this, and if not, how might i go about designing one?

edit, figured it out. weights are in G.P_CENTER indexed by the internal names of the booster packs. you can set an apply function which changes their weights when the deck comes into effect

[candid acorn]

Asking again

[spiral mural]

does find_card count jokers copying the target card

[dapper sun]

anyone know why this isn't working correctly?

local csc_hook = Card.can_sell_card
function Card:can_sell_card(context, ...)
    local csc = csc_hook(self, context, ...)
    
    if (SMODS.is_eternal(self, {from_sell = true}) and #SMODS.find_card("j_elle_diamond_pickaxe", false)>0) then
        return to_big(G.GAME.dollars) >= to_big(self.sell_cost)
    end
    
    return csc
end

local sc_ref = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost(...)
    sc_ref(self, ...)
    
    if (SMODS.is_eternal(self, {from_sell = true}) and #SMODS.find_card("j_elle_diamond_pickaxe", false)>0) then
        self.sell_cost = self.sell_cost * -2
    end
end```

the set_cost hook seems to be the one that isn't working

[primal robin]

first check is incorrect one btw, you forgot about G.GAME.bankrupt_at

[dapper sun]

ty i knew i was forgetting that but didn't remember the var name

also i found out it's just bc set_cost wasn't being run

[primal robin]

It's called from time to time when some events occur

You can call this manually

for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
    if v.set_cost then
        v:set_cost()
    end
end

I'm doin this when you getting jonkler or removing it

[dapper sun]

ty

[primal robin]

np

if you want you can ask questions in my dms in order to get faster responses

[dapper sun]

thanks

[storm kraken]

guhh does anyone know how to do good art how do i art,,,

[pastel kernel]

i cannot think straightlua if context.end_of_round and not card.getting_sliced and (context.individual or context.repetition) then if G.consumeables and #G.consumeables.cards > 0 then local itemcut = {} for i = 1, #G.consumeables.cards do if not G.consumeables.cards[i].ability.eternal and not G.consumeables.cards[i].getting_sliced then itemcut[#itemcut+1] = G.consumeables.cards[i].config.center_key end end if #itemcut > 0 then for _, c in ipairs(itemcut) do c.getting_sliced = true G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function() card:juice_up(0.8, 0.8) c:start_dissolve({G.C.RED}, nil, 1.6) return true end })) return {message = "!!!"} end

for the love of god what the fuck am i doing wrong

[primal robin]

text

this thing stops after first item cutted because return inside of cycle

[pastel kernel]

so just remove return true

i'm getting dumber and dumber

[storm kraken]

dude

you cant dissolve a key

you need to dissolve a CARD

[pastel kernel]

oh

[faint yacht]

itemcut[#itemcut+1] = G.consumeables.cards[i].config.center_key > itemcut[#itemcut+1] = G.consumeables.cards[i]

[storm kraken]

yeah

c looks in the table itemcut and that line returns the key which is a string

[storm kraken]

so this should work

[pastel kernel]

entropy/lib/hooks.lua, line 3693

[storm kraken]

What

[pastel kernel]

earlier crash

[storm kraken]

cool

[pastel kernel]

this was before ruby changed it to have .config.center_key

[storm kraken]

well uhhhh

have you tried c hecking what could be wrong there

[pastel kernel]

what could be wrong where?

[storm kraken]

in that file

[pastel kernel]

only ruby can help, she made entropy

but i can't talk to her everyday

[storm kraken]

can you show the line numbers aswell

[pastel kernel]

what numbers

line 3693

[storm kraken]

o i see

it could be the fact that center has nothing in it

thats why its nil

[pastel kernel]

i don't wanna mess with entropy's library

[storm kraken]

okay

[pastel kernel]

i'm not gonna work on the joker today

it's being sent to the backburner

[idle oxide]

last night ive tried coding in a joker which acts similar to invis but as soon as being sold it converts all cards of 1 rank into another (in this case jacks into queens)
ive attached the code from it below as it doesnt actually keep count of the rounds played nor do i think the rank conversion works, if someones nice enough to look into my failure

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.total_rounds, card.ability.extra.invis_rounds } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and not context.blueprint and not context.repetition then
            card.ability.extra.invis_rounds = card.ability.extra.invis_rounds + 1
        end
        if context.selling_self and card.ability.extra.invis_rounds >= card.ability.extra.total_rounds then
            for i = 1, #G.playing_cards do
                local deck_card = G.playing_cards[i]
        if deck_card:get_id() == 11 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    local _card = G.deck[i]
                    assert(SMODS.change_base(deck_card, nil, "Queen"))
                    return true
                end
                }))
                    break
                end
            end
        end
        return {
            message = (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds < card.ability.extra.total_rounds) and
                (card.ability.extra.invis_rounds .. '/' .. card.ability.extra.total_rounds) or
                localize('k_active_ex'),
            colour = G.C.FILTER
        }
    end
}```

[quick scarab]

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a unlock requirement that involves the amount of blinds skipped?

do I have to do it manually or is it integrated on the code something that track blind skips?

Also I need some help to make this condition trigger, where the perso has to have -$20 on them to unlock a card

check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
  return args.type == 'money' and G.GAME.dollars == -20 
end

[dapper sun]

how do u add an info_queue for eternal

[tranquil cypress]

you can do

info_queue[#info_queue+1] = {key = 'eternal', set = 'Other'} 

[dapper sun]

ty

[tranquil cypress]

youre welcome

[cinder elk]

right again. hello chat. i wanna figure out how exactly to make this so it triggers when there's a pair and not just any time before debuffing itself

`SMODS.Joker{
key = 'lbpfrida',

-- Display information for UI
loc_txt = {
    name = 'Frida the Bride',
    text = {
        'If played hand contains a {C:attention}Pair{},',
        'gain {C:mult}+15{} Mult',
        'Then this Joker is {C:attention}debuffed{}',
        'until end of round'
    }
},

atlas = 'Jokers',
rarity = 2,
cost = 5,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,

-- Compatibility flags
blueprint_compat = true,
eternal_compat = false,
perishable_compat = false,

-- Position on board
pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },

-- Main calculation function
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- 1. Reset debuff at the end of the round
    if context.end_of_round then
        card.debuff = false  -- removes the debuff after the round ends
    end

    -- 2. Only trigger Joker effect if:
    --    a) The Joker is in the main slot
    --    b) The Joker is NOT already debuffed
    --    c) A 'Pair' is in the played hand
    if context.joker_main 
       and not card.debuff 
       and context.poker_hands 
       and context.poker_hands['Pair'] then

        -- 3. Apply the +15 Mult
        local result = { mult = 15 }

        -- 4. Debuff this Joker for the rest of the round
        card.debuff = true

        -- 5. Return the effect to the game engine
        return result
    end
end

}
`

i tried looking inc ard.lua

but

it is a

jumbled mess.

that i cant read!

[loud citrus]

so when something is debuffed, calculation stops
so i think the order is what matters here
if context.joker_main and context.poker_hands['Pair'] and not card.debuff and context.poker_hands then

i could be wrong on how to fix it lol

[cinder elk]

i did try and look at the uhh

jolly joker

but

wHAT DOES ANY OF THIS EVEN MEAN

[loud citrus]

oh! use the link i provided and use a search in the joker.lua

should be much cleaner

card.lua is pure spaghetti code

[storm kraken]

atleast it groups cards in contexts- actuslly idk how that helps

im just too use to balatro coding bs

[cinder elk]

ok so it looks like

config = { extra = { t_mult = 8, type = 'Pair' }, },

seems like the thing that calls the pair

[loud citrus]

you had the right thing, you don't need to call to a config

just need next

[cinder elk]

config..?

[loud citrus]

oh, the jolly joker config.extra

context.poker_hands['Pair'] is correct

next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) is needed

[cinder elk]

like

this?

[loud citrus]

if context.joker_main and next(context.poker_hands['Pair']) and not card.debuff and context.poker_hands then

just like how you where trying to use context.poker_hands['Pair'], the difference is you're checking for the next played hand instead of the current (which doesn't change soon enough for the joker_main if it's not next)

[cinder elk]

forgive me. i am. kind of slow with this. so i put

[umbral spire]

you coded this?

[cinder elk]

sort of, yeah

[umbral spire]

whats your goal anyways?

[cinder elk]

like this joker or

[umbral spire]

yeah

for the joker

[cinder elk]

pair gives +15 mult and then debuffs joker. that's it

[umbral spire]

this should work ^

[cinder elk]

so like. this.

[loud citrus]

Bingo!

[cinder elk]

so if context.joker_main is like. the starting point for every joker right

[loud citrus]

the main scoring timing of jokers
so when square joker would give you it's chips

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

take a gander through here, should help with learning the contexts

[cinder elk]

got it

so for this next joker; i dont think there's a good like

baseline joker to compare it to

i want it toooo

gain mult when a playing card is destroyed

but also have a chance to destroy a playing card

[umbral spire]

like gain-gain or +X mult?

[cinder elk]

the joker itself gains mult.

[umbral spire]

Ah ok.

Shoot! I forgot the context for "when a playing card gets destroyed" 😭

[cinder elk]

i cant find any like

vanilla jokers to look at for reference

[umbral spire]

playing mods is always a good idea bc if you ever decide to make one, you can reference other jokers to learn how to do X.

[cinder elk]

i have

way too many mods

any mods you can think of that might do that

[umbral spire]

however, to gain mult, you can reference Flash Card:

SMODS.Joker {
    key = "flash",
    blueprint_compat = true,
    perishable_compat = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 5,
    pos = { x = 0, y = 15 },
    config = { extra = { mult_gain = 2, mult = 0 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult_gain, card.ability.extra.mult } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.reroll_shop and not context.blueprint then
            -- See note about SMODS Scaling Manipulation on the wiki
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } },
                colour = G.C.MULT,
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
}

[umbral spire]

Rn, not really.

[loud citrus]

you could look at glass joker

[umbral spire]

specifically if you wanted a joker to gain mult you would doconfig = { extra = { mult_gain = 2, mult = 0 } }, and then to gain some mult you'd do:

            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
            return {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } },
                colour = G.C.MULT,
            }

the return { ... } is uneccessary if you dont want a lil' message to appear.

[loud citrus]

if context.remove_playing_cards then

if you want any playing card removed

[umbral spire]

and always the way to give mult after the hand, or more simply "when it's the jokers turn" is:

        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = MULT_TO_GIVE -- <-- change this to what mult you want to give
            }
        end

and you could do it in 1 line like: if context.joker_main then return { mult = 5 } end

[umbral spire]

?

[cinder elk]

comparing

ok so we got

context.card_destroyed

[umbral spire]

the context is "remove_playing_cards".

[cinder elk]

ohhh

OH SHIT U RITE

this should work then

[umbral spire]

if you dont want it to be blueprint compatible

add and (not context.blueprint) to that first if condition

also checking and card.ability.extra.mult > 0 is unnecessary

returning mult = 0, will do nothing for you on its own

[cinder elk]

so legit this.

that's it

[umbral spire]

no add the other if back, that is necessary, what was not necessary was the and card.ability.extra.mult > 0

just add it back and remove the and card.ability.extra.mult > 0 part

[umbral spire]

yes

good

also,

if you want a lil message indicator

replace
if context.remove_playing_cards then ........ end
with:

                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                            func = function()
                                -- See note about SMODS Scaling Manipulation on the wiki
                                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 3
                                return true
                            end
                        }))
                        SMODS.calculate_effect(
                            {
                                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult + 3 } }
                            }, card)
                        return true
                    end
                }))
                return nil, true

[cinder elk]

legit just like this

[umbral spire]

oh remove the tabs

here:

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
    func = function()
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 3
                return true
            end
        }))
        SMODS.calculate_effect(
            {
                message = localize { type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = { card.ability.extra.mult + 3 } }
            }, card)
        return true
    end
}))
return nil, true -- This is for Joker retrigger purposes

[umbral spire]

i mean, ig it's fine, but like.

make it look good atleast

[umbral spire]

but technically yeah

[cinder elk]

easy enough

[umbral spire]

Anyways gtg, gl with your dev journey!

[cinder elk]

thanks much

i dont think it's supposed to do that

[gilded blaze]

put your event and SMODS.calculate_effect inside the context check

[cinder elk]

this part?

w

which part

[loud citrus]

Currently whenever anything happens, the game will run the code, you'll need context to prevent that, so put the part of your code under the context you want it to trigger

[hallow slate]

How do I get the localized name of a rarity?

[daring fern]

localize('k_modprefix_key')

[cinder elk]

so where do i. put. it.

[storm kraken]

holy shit

where did you get all of this calculate code from

[cinder elk]

hell.

[loud citrus]

Honestly if you're just adding mult during scoring, rework all but the context.remove_playing_card

Put it under
context.joker_main

The code here isn't how we currently make jokers

[cinder elk]

yknow maybe i should just. redo the whole thing.

just t

just to be safe

[storm kraken]

if context.remove_playing_cards then
card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + 3
end
if context.joker_main then
return {
mult_mod = card.ability.extra.mult,
message = [what you have there is fine but the mult has to have the 3 removed]
}
end

i typed this on mobile please dont kill me

also the 3 in + 3 should be a new card.ability entry

localisation or smtg

[cinder elk]

so like. this.

[storm kraken]

sobbing....

[storm kraken]

i meant what you have FOR the message is fine

but remove the 3

[cinder elk]

I CANT LUA IM A BALATRO FAN

[storm kraken]

you can also
message = '+'..card.ability.extra.mult, colour = G.C.RED

[storm kraken]

fucking crying bro

[daring fern]

return {mult = card.ability.extra.mult}

[storm kraken]

you didnt change anything clawg

[cinder elk]

😭

IT CANT BE THIS DIFFICULT

AM I JUST

DAFT

[storm kraken]

read up smods on github

you can find it by searching for repositoroes on github

[cinder elk]

read?

i dont think even reading would fix this

[storm kraken]

yes

[storm kraken]

YOURE SO CLOSE

[cinder elk]

HOW????????

WHERE

[storm kraken]

REMOVE THE RETURN IN REMOVE_PLAYING_CARDS

[storm kraken]

YES

I THINK

I THINK

[cinder elk]

lesseee

i think i fixed it

YEP

misplaced bracket.

what

[storm kraken]

does it eork?

[cinder elk]

i mean

[storm kraken]

youre blocking the message

[cinder elk]

the joker works. kind of.

it just pops up a uh

+3 mult

and then another message that says +3 mult

even after destroying the cards the mult didnt change

[mystic river]

yeah you don't need the message in your return table

[storm kraken]

wait uh

[storm kraken]

mult here should be mult_mod

there

[mystic river]

smods handles basic scoring messages automatically now

[storm kraken]

by the returb

mult_mod =

[cinder elk]

mult_mod here correct

[storm kraken]

yuh

[mystic river]

(or you can do what fish is saying, sure. i don't recommend it unless you want the message to be something other than the basic "+X mult")

[cinder elk]

how would i make the message say something else. like text

[storm kraken]

-# this can be disabled if you need to have multiple variables in one message!

[storm kraken]

mult on its own does smth? i always used X_mod + message with the variable added to a string

[mystic river]

message = "text"
localize() generates the text from localization tables, but ultimately you're just returning a string

[storm kraken]

yuh this

[mystic river]

it does now, yes
smods added that feature a while back

[storm kraken]

to add the variable to the message use .. (also works with any variable that isnt a table(?))

[storm kraken]

awesome
