230: 'end' expected (to close 'if' at line 225) near '}'
you accidentally deleted an end

it belongs somewhere between line 225 and 230

[mystic river]

it thinks those ends close something earlier that didn't get closed properly

[loud citrus]

Remove one of the ends :)

[cinder elk]

w

which one

[loud citrus]

Either one

[mystic river]

okay if you're getting a syntax error just post the entire SMODS.Joker

[cinder elk]

`SMODS.Joker{

    -- Gain mult when a card is destroyed
    if context.remove_playing_cards and not context.blueprint then

`}

[mystic river]

you've got an extra }

[wicked heron]

readd the end, remove one of the curlies

[loud citrus]

And an end for the calculate function

[mystic river]

those arrows match beginnings to ends

that one } isn't closing anything, and that one if doesn't have an end

[storm kraken]

try getting a code editor with brace highlighting it really helps

like alot alot

well

they have one already fish

[storm kraken]

try adding it to your code editor

oh

built in with vs i think thats cool

i use np++

[mystic river]

        end

[cinder elk]

is. is that it

[mystic river]

put one } below all the ends

just like. go through your code looking at all the {s and ask yourself, "where is the } that closes this?"

[storm kraken]

you should read up on lua basics
think of the joker as one big table in a {} aswell (because it is)

[cinder elk]

yeah probably.

GOT IT.

[mystic river]

i really recommend putting code in a code block
markdown really hates making it possible to demonstrate this so here's a screenshot instead

if some_lua_code then
  --put it in a code block like this
end

[cinder elk]

got it

[cinder elk]

so the joker works!

kind of

it doesnt add mult to itself.

it only just activates.

[storm kraken]

i guess itd be cuz of the destroying card context

[mystic river]

have you, in fact, destroyed any cards

[cinder elk]

i have, in fact, destroyed cards.

with hanged man.

[mystic river]

okay yeah you want a different context for this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Calculate-Functions#contextremove_playing_cards

[storm kraken]

does destroying card exist as a context

ok it diesnt

awesome

[mystic river]

destroying_card is a context, it's just the wrong one

[storm kraken]

i feel like you had the correct one before

[storm kraken]

k

yeah whyd you change it

[cinder elk]

thought it'd work.

but yes it works now.

oh this next one's gonna be fun.

[storm kraken]

there are two options:
A. spaghetti code a held in hand check then let played steel cards benefit from the joker giving it mult
or
B. hook

[cinder elk]

h

hook?

[storm kraken]

yes a pirate hook

i recommend option A

[cinder elk]

good idea

[normal crest]

spaghetti code and hooks aren't mutually exclusive, you can have both!!

[cinder elk]

YI

keep in mind. this is only the current jokers.

i

i have to add a booster pack with cards and seals next.

ssssO

FUN

[loud citrus]

Seals are similar to jokers, except playing card

[vale zinc]

Is there anything in a Planet card's specification within G.P_CENTER_POOLS that lets me see whether or not the card's been discovered?

[rocky plaza]

G.P_CENTERS[planet_key].discovered will be true if the planet with the key planet_key has been discovered
for instance, G.P_CENTERS["c_earth"].discovered will get the discovered status of Earth

this will also work for any object classified as a Center

i.e all consumables, jokers

[quick scarab]

bump

[errant fulcrum]

For anyone who wants to know, the reason mime didn't trigger this seal is because the message I returned { message = '+1 Joker', colour = G.C.ATTENTION } was nested inside an event instead of being in calculate. So I just changed the first return to return true and put the message in the second return

[rigid solar]

What does blocking = false on an event actually do? I thought it'd let you play the game and just run in the background until it returns true, but I'm wrong

[opal hazel]

Why in the world does modifying the UI do this?

[gaunt folio]

how do i fix this?

nvm i got it

[loud citrus]

how would you check if the player is using a curtain deck?

[daring fern]

if G.GAME and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_modprefix_key'

[spiral mural]

how ddo i make a joker do something at the end of ante

[loud citrus]

you could always do after boss blind

[spiral mural]

?

[dapper sun]

there's a context for that

check smods docs

[spiral mural]

when i use it, it seemly triggers twice?

[wintry solar]

Show code

[spiral mural]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.after and not context.blueprint then
        print(card.ability.extra.hands_played)
        card.ability.extra.hands_played = card.ability.extra.hands_played + 1
    end
    if (context.ante_end) or context.forcetrigger then
        if card.ability.extra.hands_played < 4 then
            for i = 1, 3 do
                local consumable =
                    SMODS.add_card {
                    -- For a random one
                    set = "Consumeables",
                    area = G.consumeables
                }

    -- any ante change should reset the counter
    if context.ante_change then
        card.ability.extra.hands_played = 0

[wintry solar]

Add and context.ante_change

[spiral mural]

works 😇

is there any way to change collection order besides registering the objects in a different order?

[elder rune]

Have you checked smods wiki?

[loud summit]

yyea

[elder rune]

Eh idk

[quick scarab]

[loud summit]

im just going to rewrite it to change reg oder

order

yyou have to call the check for unlock i think

[quick scarab]

I have the code and everything but it doesn't work

[rigid moss]

Is there an easy way to add a line of text to card description? I have a joker that adds xMult to playing cards and it would be nice display it, but generate_UIBox_ability_table and generate_card_ui seem like a nightmare to work with...

[hardy vessel]

Can you share what you have? You shouldn't have to do anything fancy to get the xMult to show

[rigid moss]

SMODS.Joker{
name = "Fairytale",
key = "cv_fairytale",
loc_txt = {
['name'] = "Fairytale",
['text'] = {
"All cards in deck",

"each hand. Buff {C:attention}resets{}",
"when card is scored"
}

extra = {
Xmult = 0.03,
drain = {}
}

cost = 8,
rarity = 3,
blueprint_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
unlocked = true,
discovered = true,
atlas = 'CVjokers',

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {vars = {card.ability.extra.Xmult}}
end,

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before then
        for i = #G.playing_cards, 1, -1 do
            local c = G.playing_cards[i]
            c.ability.fairy = c.ability.fairy or 0
            c.ability.fairy = c.ability.fairy + card.ability.extra.Xmult
            c.ability.x_mult = c.ability.x_mult + card.ability.extra.Xmult
        end
    elseif context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
        if not context.blueprint then card.ability.extra.drain[#card.ability.extra.drain + 1] = context.other_card end
    elseif context.destroying_card and not context.blueprint then -- Does not destroy cards but uses this scoring faze to reset .fairy from them
        for i = #card.ability.extra.drain, 1, -1 do
            local c = card.ability.extra.drain[i]
            c.ability.x_mult = c.ability.x_mult - c.ability.fairy
            c.ability.fairy = 0
        end
        card.ability.extra.drain = {}
    end
end

}

Here is the code

the joker basically adds 0.03 mult to all cards in deck

the mult is on them not on joker

[hardy vessel]

try adding perma_x_mult instead of x_mult. basically the xMult version of Hiker's chips

[rigid moss]

hmmm was perma_x_mult added in smod? I dont see it anywhere in base files

[hardy vessel]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

seems like it

[rigid moss]

Oh damn, thats great

Actually needed those a lot

[hardy vessel]

Definitely browse the smods wiki, you do end up finding some neat features

[candid arch]

how do you detect if a playing card was retriggered (regardless if it was in played hand or not)?

[hardy vessel]

like, retrigged at all?

ok um

[candid arch]

yeah! like if a playing card with red seal gets retriggered or a face card is retriggered with sock

any card retriggers

[hardy vessel]

i have a method for scoring

[candid arch]

👀

im making a joker that gives $1 whenever a card gets retriggered

[hardy vessel]

actually, the scoring method can also work for in hand

This Joker adds +1 mult to any card that gets retriggered in scoring hand

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if (context.other_card.count or 0) >= 1 then
                context.other_card.ability.perma_mult = (context.other_card.ability.perma_mult or 0) +
                card.ability.extra.mult
                return {
                message = localize('k_upgrade_ex'),
                colour = G.C.MULT
                }
            end
            context.other_card.count = (context.other_card.count or 0) + 1
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            for i = 1, #context.scoring_hand do
                if context.scoring_hand[i].count >= 1 then
                    context.scoring_hand[i].count = nil
                end
            end
        end
    end,

[candid arch]

ooh

is context.other_card.count referring to how many times a card is retriggered?

thats what im guessing

[hardy vessel]

you can add and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round to take care of the cards held in hand

[hardy vessel]

yep

you would also have to add a reset to cards held in hand under context.joker_main

I'm having some trouble understanding how rarities are handled for object/consumabletype. I want to make a consumable group that has essentially different rarities

Anyone who could help better explain it would be greatly appreciated.

[candid arch]

does context.scoring_hand mean any card that triggers, like gold/steel cards, or just played cards that get scored?

[hardy vessel]

just played cards that get scored, no held in hand effects

[candid arch]

ahh darn

how do i check if a card got triggered in general?

[hardy vessel]

checking for more locations

[daring fern]

You would have to hook SMODS.trigger_effects and check if there are effects and do what you want to do in the hook.

[quick scarab]

Making a unlock condition where if I the player goes to max debt (-$20) the card is unlocked, but it doesn't work any help

thx

but why it does that ? isnt result already a table

Yes, you need to return a table of tables of cards.

[daring fern]

Do local other_card = context.other_card outside of the event and use other_card instead of context.other_card

[brisk tree]

I've been having this really weird issue

I'm trying to check for when a card is triggering by hooking onto SMODS.calculate_effect and other similar functions

[candid arch]

no way so am i what a coincidence

[brisk tree]

And for some reason when I check for triggering cards during context.individual, the first trigger on a card is always nil (I'm setting a "triggered" flag during SMODS.calculate_effect)

[daring fern]

Yes, context.individual is triggered before SMODS.calculate_effect is called.

[brisk tree]

Is there any way to get when cards (both in hand and in play) trigger then in a way that doesn't cause any issues?

Like, is there some other context that runs after calculate_effect

[daring fern]

No, you would hook SMODS.trigger_effects instead and do what you want to do in the hook.

[brisk tree]

Well trigger effects sorta runs every frame which is less than desirable

Since I'd preferably want something to run once when I put a card into play or when it's triggered from hand like a steel card

I mean, unless trigger_effects doesn't run every frame and hooking it inside of calculate messes things up

[daring fern]

Yes, you would check if there are effects.

[daring fern]

It doesn't but you shouldn't be hooking in calculate.

eqmult type effect not working???
code for pretty much all of these

        local chips = SMODS.Scoring_Parameters["chips"]
        chips.current = (smth)
        update_hand_text({delay = 0}, {chips = chips.current})
        if not Talisman or not Talisman.config_file.disable_anims then
            MyDreamJournal.card_eval_status_text_eq(scored_card or effect.card or effect.focus, 'chips', amount, percent, nil, nil, "Chips = "..chips.current, G.C.BLUE)
        end
        return true

[frigid cargo]

How do i make a new consumable type?

[final jewel]

Is it normal that telescope doesnt work with my custom hand ???

[final jewel]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/tarots.lua

[frigid cargo]

ok thanks

[loud citrus]

this link should be pinned

[final jewel]

Litteraly

Or like a rule that says "before asking, look at VanillaRemade"

[loud citrus]

yes, and it could even be a great transition to people asking/learning what stuffs mean :)

[frigid cargo]

there is stuff i try finding in vremade and dont find it but it was just hidden lmao

[final jewel]

Yeah

Idk if its in VanillaRemade but I was trying to find PokerHandPart but didnt find it. It could be a nice addition to VanillaRemade for understanding what every parts do.

[frosty rampart]

for now at least, you can check in vanilla code for the functions get_highest (effectively the definition of the high card pokerhandpart), get_straight (same for straight), get_flush (same for flush), and get_X_same (the first table that this function returns is used as the definition for the _2, _3, _4, and _5 pokerhandparts). and then look at smods src/game_object.lua for the pokerhandpart _all_pairs (it also involves get_X_same)

but yea i do think it'd be nice to translate those vanilla functions into direct pokerhandpart definitions in vanillaremade

(here's the relevant section in smods src/game_object.lua btw)

[final jewel]

Oh nice thx. I never know where to look for shit like "do I look in lovely dump or in smods folder"

And Im always lost in these

[frosty rampart]

btw the way the SMODS.four_fingers function is used here is really weird lmao
the function does indeed take an argument but it just. doesn't do anything with it. it does not matter what you pass in

top 10 functions of all time

[daring fern]

Yes, because it's used for hooks.

[frosty rampart]

please show me an example of where a hook uses it

/genq

[daring fern]

local oldsmodsfourfingers = SMODS.four_fingers
function SMODS.four_fingers(hand_type)
    if hand_type == 'flush' then
        return 3
    end
    return oldsmodsfourfingers(hand_type)
end

[frosty rampart]

i meant in like an actual mod

because it feels like the only use case is for specifically modifying how the vanilla Four Fingers joker works for one of the two hand types
anything else and you would be better off writing your own utility function

[shell timber]

i guess its because it reduces both flushes and straights? though its probably not the best for extending the effect

[frosty rampart]

hm yea, i guess if you have another joker effect that specifically only lets you make straights with 4 cards, or only flushes with 4 cards, then the hook to four_fingers would be useful
but it still feels very offputting, and i feel like there's a better way to go about it

at that point i guess the function name is the issue for me

[foggy ginkgo]

How do I make this say use like how arcana or spectral packs do it

[wintry solar]

Show booster object

[foggy ginkgo]

:3

[subtle hawk]

Hlep

[foggy ginkgo]

The joker retriggering?

Or is the A and 5 retriggering

[subtle hawk]

The Joker itself

Needs to retrigger if both

[foggy ginkgo]

Oh so gives double xmult if both are scored

[subtle hawk]

I mean twice and double isn't exactly the same in case of multiplication but yeah kinda

[foggy ginkgo]

I meant twice don't worry

I mean you don't need to retrigger it

[daring fern]

You're setting card.ability.extra.retrigger to 0 before returning so repetitions will always be 0

[subtle hawk]

Dimbass

Okay

[foggy ginkgo]

Nvm they got it

[loud citrus]

i love plants vs zombies 🥹

[daring fern]

The SMODS.ObjectType should be a SMODS.ConsumableType

[foggy ginkgo]

Ou

Thank you

[foggy ginkgo]

Yeah 🥹

Me too

[loud citrus]

Fern, we love Fern

[foggy ginkgo]

Yessir

[safe saddle]

i dont understand anything 😭

i read the smods docs lots of times and yet i still dont understand

[frigid cargo]

OMG TETO REMEMBER ME? IM BACK but i wont do it this time cause busy

[foggy ginkgo]

Yes I remember you

What's the next "I'm a fan" you're gonna say

[elder rune]

Read the vanilla remade code smh

[storm kraken]

read it more

[solid salmon]

guys how do i get if a hand is a heart flush

oh wait

[hardy vessel]

For ObjectType rarities, is this asking for specific object keys or rarity keys?

[frigid cargo]

I forgot lmao

[storm kraken]

pretty sure its object keys

[warm marten]

question for the mod makers, what do you usually do for the art?

do you do it yourselves or commission it out?

[faint yacht]

Former applies to most, I'd say.

[storm kraken]

aseprite ✍️ (do it myself)

only you know how you want your art to be, after all

[warm marten]

very true

do you usually reference other images? or can we use the default balatro art and sort of build off of that?

[old epoch]

Wasn’t it a whole galaxy or am I forgetting

[frigid cargo]

Probably idk

Ill have to check later

[frigid cargo]

Its not a galaxy

[old epoch]

Ah

[lucid owl]

you can do anything you want lol

most people use reference images

and balatro art can help give some lines to stay on

but i've seen people use random images as joker sprites and i've seen people use slightly hue-shifted base sprites for jokers

do whatever ya want

[storm kraken]

depends on the card

if the card is based off something else, its almost like you have to make it look like that thing...

but for regular art im trying to stay somewhere in line with balatro but i suck so much its just a new art style

[chrome widget]

I've often drawn some of my cards based on specific images for my mod, though since it's based on representing some comics, it makes sense to use more iconic compositions

[solid salmon]

hey guys

how do i change the first card in a hand

[tranquil cypress]

You can get context.scoring_hand[1] in context.before like this

if context.before and not context.blueprint then
  local first_card = context.scoring_hand[1]
  local enhancement = SMODS.poll_enhancement { key = "seed", guaranteed = true }
  first_card:set_ability(enhancement, true)
end```

[hallow slate]

How do I get the localized name for an enhancement?

[faint yacht]

Best to check if context.scoring_hand[1] ends up existing first...
-# Looking at you, "None" hand.

[loud summit]

how do i move a card from the discard area to the top of the deck

[junior tapir]

Does anyone have tips for making stickers? I've tried, for example, making them only for jokers or with a rate of say 0.3, but they appear on EVERY card, even on jokers when I say sets = {Joker = false} and/or rate = 0. In vanilla remade, two of the remade stickers have some card.config.center.perishable/eternal_compat, but non of this in the rental, so idk where the joker-only should come from. I dug that @static valley has had similar issue with no apparent answer

[frosty rampart]

when the sticker has a custom should_apply function, it completely ignores the rate you set for the sticker. you need to account for it in the function

[candid arch]

i made this joker idea b4 joining the community, but sadly everyone and their mother has done this joker effect 😭

[misty halo]

there's only one thing i dont like about this and its the fact that sixfold is the name of the mod

[candid arch]

wdym

[misty halo]

nvm

[harsh belfry]

six folds is pretty much all you'll get with a normal piece of paper

[misty halo]

i forgot like almost literally no one here knows about blackout revival

[harsh belfry]

maybe seven

[candid arch]

sevenfold...

you probably couldnt fold a playing card more than 6 times tbf, theyre thicker than paper

[harsh belfry]

ngl both of yall could have just posted in modding-chat

its weird not debugging someones shit here

[candid arch]

oh sorry, ill post it there instead

[misty halo]

buh

[candid arch]

how do you check if every card in a played hand is a different rank?

[red flower]

the easiest would be check that there are no pairs (not next(context.poker_hands["Pair"]) but if you want something more robust loop through every card in the hand and make a table with the rank keys (playing_card.base.value) and if the key already exists then there's a duplicate

[granite jay]

Anyone know how to get the hand size with a joker?

Nvm found it

[wicked heron]

Does anyone know a context that occurs when chips are added to your total after a hand is scored? context.after occurs just before this step

the only context I find that comes next is context.hand_drawn, which is a step too late for me

[red flower]

context.after is after that

make sure you're using events

[wicked heron]

            card.ability.extra.hand_tick = false
            card.ability.extra.replenishments = card.ability.extra.replenishments - 1
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    ease_hands_played(1, 1)
                    return true
                end,
            }))
            return {
                message = "+1",
                colour = G.C.BLUE,
            }
        end

Do I need to use after in the event?

[red flower]

no that should be fine
do you want it to happen after all the cards in play are discarded?

[wicked heron]

Thanks N, I've pieced it together now (I put an if statement within the event)

[sturdy compass]

At least the art is heat

[candid arch]

that's all thanks to @brisk tree 🔥 🔥

[solid salmon]

hey guys

can i use exponents to calculate stuff

like mult = 2^2

[sturdy compass]

Yes

[brisk tree]

is there a way to make a card visually bigger?

And permanently keep it visually bigger?

[sturdy compass]

Yeah, if you’re not talking about scaling on the fly, you can set a display_size property to the card object

[toxic cave]

why is this art so fucking peak 🌹❤️

[gaunt thistle]

sick art

[brisk tree]

Is it going to be harder if it needs to be on the fly?

[sturdy compass]

Slightly yes but still possible

You can do so by doing math on card.children.center.scale.(x or y)

Actually no that's not correct, you'd be doing math on card.T.w and card.T.h for height and width scale respectively

[toxic cave]

is there sth i dont understand about .toml? is it not being loaded or sum? because this should work

[normal crest]

Where is the file located and what's its name

[toxic cave]

wait the name matters?

[normal crest]

Make a folder called lovely in your mod

And put the toml file inside of it

[toxic cave]

ic

[candid arch]

this joker is supposed to check if the first hand in round is a single heart card, delete it, upgrade itself by +12 mult, then add that mult to the hand score. right now it's doing everything except adding the mult to the final score

[daring fern]

It should be card.ability.extra.mult not card.ability.mult

[candid arch]

ohmyg od thank you so much

or

okay i dont think that solved it but i DID miss that card.ability.mult typo so thank you!!

it still isnt adding the mult to the score though which is peculiar

i think i found the source of the issue

but i still dont know how to fix it

[loud citrus]

context.modify_hand

is this something a joker can use?

[candid arch]

according to print(mult) this is triggering right as i play the hand, even before it deletes the card

(also sorry for talking over you rose)

[harsh belfry]

you see it always does that without fail

[loud citrus]

you're good, no worries 👍

[harsh belfry]

because shit is not calculated when you see it appear

it is all precalced

this is why events exist

[candid arch]

ooooo

[harsh belfry]

so you can get the neat order on screen

[candid arch]

how can i take advantage of events here

wait theres the uhh

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Guide-‐-Event-Manager right?

[harsh belfry]

yeah but i'm not certain thats the issue

[candid arch]

ah whoops

[daring fern]

Yes, context.destroy_card happens after context.joker_main

[harsh belfry]

i'm just saying its printing before because everything does that lmao

[candid arch]

how do i make it trigger after destroy_card

[daring fern]

You would increase the mult in context.before instead.

[candid arch]

increase the joker mult or add the mult to the score?

just to be clear sdhjsfkg

[loud citrus]

HOLY SHOOT IT IS, why aren't more people using this?

[daring fern]

Increase card.ability.extra.mult

[candid arch]

wait but wouldn't i need to add all the other checks alongside context.before? or am i putting that if statement inside if context.destroy_card?

[daring fern]

if not context.blueprint and #context.full_hand == 1 and context.full_hand[1]:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) and G.GAME.current_round.hands_played == 0 then
    if context.destroy_card then
        return {remove = true}
    elseif context.before then
        card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain
    end
end

[candid arch]

oh word, thank you! i'll give this a try

gonna try adding context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring to the larger if statement

that stopped the crashing, but the joker's mult stil isnt being added to the score

[red flower]

while i understand not wanting to repeat statements it's always better practice to put the timing context before the information checks (i.e. making before and destroy_card the outer if)

[candid arch]

i'll give that a shot

[red flower]

also don't put function calls in returns unless you actually need to return the value

[candid arch]

but i dont know if it'll trigger in the order i want it to? like i want it to be: single heart card is played in first hand > joker deletes heart card and upgrades its own mult > joker adds mult to hand score

[red flower]

the order of the ifs is irrelevant, contexts run in a specific order

destroy_card is always at the end

you can try using SMODS.destroy_cards() instead in context.before

[candid arch]

alright

[candid arch]

how does this look

[daring fern]

No, remove the and context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring

[atomic solar]

anyone know how to fix this? this happened today when im trying to mod but i think disabling the yahimod just bricked my balatro

[candid arch]

it works!!! thank you so much!!

[atomic solar]

i tried most ways as from deleting the mod, deleting the roaming, deleting the game and reinstalling

most didnt work

[spiral mural]

what's the card area for in hand cards

[modest jewel]

wtf

bro basically deleted his pc

😭

[spiral mural]

have you tried deleting system32

[modest jewel]

real

[candid arch]

omfg 😭

[atomic solar]

im fr being serious unless its the fact its actually just removing everything i had in balatro

all bc of a weirdass error im having rn

[spiral mural]

also %^^^^^!^@^^^^

[modest jewel]

im also serious

who the hell deletes all their file and shit as the first fix😭

[atomic solar]

well idk, this is my first time encountering this errror

[modest jewel]

bro deleted his roaming💔

at this point

[atomic solar]

not entirely the roaming

[modest jewel]

idk what to do for you

[atomic solar]

the balatro folder in the roaming folder

[modest jewel]

at this point deleting system32 might be the peak solution

just factory reset your computer 💔💔💔

[candid arch]

he said the balatro folder in roaming dude 😭

not the entire roaming folder

[modest jewel]

oh

idk man

i have NEVER seen anyone deleting shit outside of Mods folder

like why

probably just replicate and recreate your balatro folder

could work

[brisk tree]

how would I make a tarot card give mult when used

[red flower]

depends on how you want to do it, because you cant use a tarot while scoring so either you have to use it before and store the value or you need to "switch on" your tarot so it scores during the next calculation

[brisk tree]

oh yeah you're actually right

I'll do the switching part

[red flower]

you can use keep_on_use and then use calculations like a joker and destroy the card when calculation ends

the confections in balatro goes kino do something like that

[feral tree]

is it possible to detect if you're hovering over a joker?

[hardy viper]

iirc it's like G.CONTROLLER.hovered.target

[hardy viper]

.hovering

not .hovered

[chrome widget]

Gonna ask around again, does anyone have decent existing solutions for modifying the values of text inputs without somehow misplacing the cursor/input position

I've been ripping my hair out over this

[primal robin]

Put input in oblect and when you need create new input and rerender it

Oh you need keep cursor pos too, hm

[pastel kernel]

how to check for scoring cards

"gain something for each card scored"

[storm kraken]

oh my god this exists?

YESSSS

[storm kraken]

context.scoring_hand

[primal robin]

even more, G.CONTROLLER.dragging.target exist

[pastel kernel]

what's ref table and ref value?

[storm kraken]

this but replace the ui bits with Other things

i used the ui doc for this because i feel like it explains it better

basically ref_table is the table that ref_value is in and ref_value is a variable

i think

[pastel kernel]

i just spawned this mf

[storm kraken]

OH MY GOD

OK KO MENTIONED

[pastel kernel]

So if the ref table is G and the red value is GUAC, then whatever is in G.GUAC…

[umbral zodiac]

more like if ref table is G and the ref value is "GUAC" specifically

but yeah thats the general idea

[storm kraken]

mhm

in cases where ref_table is the value (a table) and you wanna get an entry from that table (for example ref_table[1]) you'll use a number (quotations) as the ref_value

[loud citrus]

how would i make my joker not debuff itself
i'm thinking simply not allowing it to target itself, though i don't know what i would put

[daring fern]

if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card?

[loud citrus]

it works!!!
(unless it's just itself and one other joker, but the player has earned the benefits of self debuff if they can only survive with only 1 joker past anti 8, as it's only possible to get at the end of anti 8.)

[pastel kernel]

how to check for triggering playing cards?

[storm kraken]

i arted again

[wicked leaf]

how do you create a random tag

[daring fern]

add_tag(Tag(get_next_tag_key('seed')))

[wicked leaf]

truly a strange thing

but hey if it works it works

i feel so happy inside when i spend an hour on trying to fix code

hey how do i make a tag similair to the uncommon and rare tags

ok this is a certified me forgetting vanilla remad

GUYS

WHATS THE CONTEXT FOR DISCARDING

like not checking per card just checking for if you discarded

[daring fern]

context.pre_discard

[obtuse silo]

how do i check when a consumable is bought
and how do i check for the type of consumable

[daring fern]

if context.buying_card and context.card.ability.consumeable and context.card.ability.set

[storm kraken]

uhh

is there a way to increase a specific edition's spawn rate

or edit it

[primal robin]

yes, get_weight

[storm kraken]

awesome,,,

[chrome widget]

That is an option, but since this is sometimes per-frame updates it would be best to avoid that

[storm kraken]

uhh

how do i work this mechanism

like edit an editions weight with a different card

[toxic cave]

anyone know why this only works for the first ante when the run starts but when it goes to the second ante the hidden blind re-appears?

[obtuse silo]

okay this doesn't seem to work
probably because it's the effect of an unrelated Joker and not the card itself

[daring fern]

Code?

[lusty marten]

hey i want to make a joker that extra x2 to card per trigger like joker Hiker , how can i do that?

[elder rune]

x2 their +chip?

[lusty marten]

gain x2 mult when scored

[elder rune]

ah

[lusty marten]

how can i code that

[elder rune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Perma-bonuses

[lusty marten]

okay

[lusty marten]

thanks

[obtuse silo]

how do i get a list of the game's jokers

[karmic prism]

should be on the wiki

if you're talking about base balatro

idk man]

[elder rune]

I think he meant a list of all registered jokers within the game

[obtuse silo]

yea
so it should include mods

[karmic prism]

oh ok

[elder rune]

try to access collection ig

G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker

[brisk tree]

does anyone know how I would make code run right after a hand is played?

Outside a card specifically

Is there a specific function that runs that?

[daring fern]

Use the mod calculate.

[brisk tree]

but calculate only works inside of specific classes, doesn't it?

[daring fern]

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

[obtuse silo]

breh

no wait i got it
you don't need the "config.center.key" at the end of it

[vale zinc]

G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante never fills up with poker hand names. Might anyone tell me why?

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.press_play then
        G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante = G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante or {}
        if not LAPSEMS.contains(G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante, context.scoring_name) then
            G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante[#G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante + 1] = context.scoring_name
        end
    end
end

[toxic cave]

am i missing sth? does get_new_boss() not get called every ante?

[daring fern]

Yes, context.press_play doesn't have context.scoring_name

[vale zinc]

What does?

[daring fern]

context.before

[obtuse silo]

third image
this only happens with my modded jokers

[daring fern]

localize({type = 'name_text', key = 'j_modprefix_key', set = 'Joker'})

[vale zinc]

Now the "Hand will not score" text flashes inconstantly without filling up. What do I do to stop that?

get_loc_debuff_text = function(self)
    local random_hand = pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante, 'bl_lapsems_nose')
    return G.GAME.blind.loc_debuff_text .. 
    localize {
        type = 'variable',
        key = 'k_lapsems_blind_example_hand',
        vars = {
            localize(random_hand, 'poker_hands')
        }
    }
end,
-- 'k_lapsems_blind_example_hand' = " [i.e.: #1#]",

[obtuse silo]

now it just displays ERROR

[daring fern]

Yes, it would be placeholder_joker.key

[brisk tree]

the code inside of calculate doesn't seem to run at all

[frosty rampart]

what version of smods do you have

[brisk tree]

1.0.0 beta 0608b

is this too old?

[frosty rampart]

yea that's ancient lol

[brisk tree]

Damn lmao, didn't know

[frosty rampart]

latest version came out a couple of days ago, update

[brisk tree]

I'll update it and see if it works

Thanks for the tip

[frosty rampart]

the mod calculate feature was added in late august, updating should get it working

[vale zinc]

How do I update Steamodded? Is there some special procedure to go through, or do I delete the folder and download the updated version in its stead?

[brisk tree]

haha it works, who knew the issue was the steammodded version

[vale zinc]

Also, this Blind's "Hand will not score" text flashes over and over again without settling on one hand. How do I get it to instead display a random poker hand whenever a new selection of cards is made?

get_loc_debuff_text = function(self)
    local random_hand = pseudorandom_element(G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante, 'bl_lapsems_nose')
    return G.GAME.blind.loc_debuff_text .. 
    localize {
        type = 'variable',
        key = 'k_lapsems_blind_example_hand',
        vars = {
            localize(random_hand, 'poker_hands')
        }
    }
end,
-- 'k_lapsems_blind_example_hand' = " [i.e.: #1#]",

[random basin]

where can I modify the maximum selected/played hand size?

and can I apply a change to that value through the card back apply_to_run() config function?

[daring fern]

SMODS.change_play_limit(number)

[hardy vessel]

How would I go about ending a blind early (and potentially also removing cash out)?

[frosty rampart]

just delete and redownload
sorry I haven't gotten around to helping with the boss blind, I'm on vacation rn

[red flower]

afaik get_loc_debuff_text shouldn't be used for effects, just to return the text
debuff_hand is where you want to randomize

[red flower]

You would need to change the state from blind to shop probably

[hardy vessel]

On VanillaRemade, I see this functionG.FUNCS.cash_out({config = {}}) but I can't find any other resources on it

[red flower]

sadly this is a bit more advanced, you would need to look into where the game sets G.STATE and patch that
there's no easy way to change game states as of right now and it can be a bit jank if you don't change the right things

[vale zinc]

I adapted it from The Mouth, which points out the one hand type you're obliged to play this round. How do I get The Nose to do something similar?

[red flower]

the exact same way but when it sets the only hand do it randomly

oh i didnt read the description

you need to just save the hands

[vale zinc]

I already save the hands.

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.before then
        G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante = G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante or {}
        if not LAPSEMS.contains(G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante, context.scoring_name) then
            G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante[#G.GAME.LAPSEMS_poker_hands_played_this_ante + 1] = context.scoring_name
        end
    end
end

[red flower]

what part are you having difficulty with, the debuff or the text?

[vale zinc]

The text. It flashes inconstantly with the example hand-to-play constantly changing. I want it to stick with one hand until the card selection changes to a hand that's been played this ante.

[red flower]

what do you want the text to display

[vale zinc]

Hand will not score
Poker hand must have been played previously this Ante [i.e.: #1#]

...with #1# being the localized name of a random poker hand that's been previously played.

[red flower]

then do this

in debuff_hand or context.debuff_hand (whatever you use) set the random hand that the text will use

[weary merlin]

how can i make a calculate function using joker_main repeat a return multiple times?

[loud summit]

SMODS.calculate_effect

takes the same table as the return values but continues afterwards

[junior tapir]

[vale zinc]

Looks like that did the trick.

[chrome widget]

Color correcting the jokers on the right........

Greedy and Wrathful feel like they're ever slightly off, whereas I can barely tell Lusty and Gluttenous aren't vanilla

Onyx Agate also is pretty noticeable

[elder rune]

is there a way to change how often certain rarities appear

[viscid talon]

finally getting back on cudgel stuff

@rocky plaza the cudgel boss blind is still broken

heres the cde

**code

idk why its rendered as a text file

lemme redo it as a lua

hold on

@rocky plaza what do i do

[rocky plaza]

I'm looking at it rn

[viscid talon]

thankies

[chrome widget]

A little more obvious with Seeing Double but I think that's alright

[rocky plaza]

theres a lot that needs to be fixed so i'll send the fixed version as well as comments explaining what i fixed and changed

[viscid talon]

thank you c:

it was working in an older update but it stopped working and idk why

[elder rune]

Found a solution that kinda works but works well enough for me, but now I gotta know how to get the deck you're playing

[rocky plaza]

G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key

[elder rune]

thanks pookie

[rocky plaza]

...

[elder rune]

mb

thanks fellow human

[chrome widget]

You know what? Fuck you. Flower Pot uses the Diamonds palette

[viscid talon]

hiiii

oke lets check it out

ahhh, i see

so it looks like i forgot to add "round end" "round disabled" contexts

i will keep all of this in mind 🥺 thank you so much 😭

[rocky plaza]

specifically, theyre not contexts
the code for when the blind is defeated or disabled go in different functions from the calculate function

[lavish shell]

sup, anyone got resources for how to make replacement texture for balatro? a random reddit thread said to come here

[viscid talon]

o i see i see

[rocky plaza]

what kinda texture pack do you plan on making?

[lavish shell]

i was planning on making one that makes all the jokers cats

thats literally it lmao i thought itd be cute

maybe maybe diamonds cat eyes, hearts cat paws, idk about spades and clubs

[elder rune]

make every card follow that palette

[rocky plaza]

For jokers, use malverk https://github.com/Eremel/Malverk
For playing cards, see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

[lavish shell]

ty!

[chrome widget]

I'm doing this just to pare down the size of vanilla palettes mostly

[lavish shell]

these all look lovely! :O

[chrome widget]

thank you!!!!

I inherently have to make some compromises to make my palette editor work but I want them to look close enough to vanilla that if you don't see a comparison you don't see the difference

[charred widget]

Does anyone have the code for cryptid's green seals? the ones that function on being played and unscoring

[iron breach]

does this seem balanced (costs $5)

[charred widget]

nevermind i think i found it

[rocky plaza]

if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == "unscored" then

end
would do what you want

[charred widget]

cool thank you

[rocky plaza]

consider cryptid as like a last resort code reference

[tight pumice]

Is there a way to use SMODS.add_card to also change what edition the card to be added will have? Asking in the context of consumables

[hallow slate]

#⚙・modding-general I think, and nah

[charred widget]

true lol

[hallow slate]

It used to be my first resort LOL

[tight pumice]

My first resort is vanilla remade

[rocky plaza]

pass edition = "edition_key" into the call

[tight pumice]

But I’ve dug into some pretty random mods to try and find examples of highly obscure roughly similar concepts

[tight pumice]

Thank you

[hallow slate]

Yeah that's mine now too

[tight pumice]

I just could not find documentation for SMODS.add_card for whatever reason

[rocky plaza]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#smodscreate_cardt---card

theres docs for it

under the utility section

also the calculation section of the smods wiki was recently rewritten

[tight pumice]

Missed that section that explains it

I was looking all around the game objects things

[rocky plaza]

anyways, time to work on some jank ui stuff

[spiral mural]

how do i mess around wth how poker hands are calcuated///

[hallow slate]

What kind of card

[spiral mural]

what

this is a joker

[hallow slate]

I mean Joker card, what is the Joker trying to do

[hallow slate]

You'll have to go to function get_X_same I think

[spiral mural]

pretty much anything that is requires a non-specific rank would be affected here

[hallow slate]

As well as function straight

[spiral mural]

no

straights can't be affected here

there's no sequence of suits

[hallow slate]

functions/misc_functions

That's the file that contains Poker Hand Parts

[spiral mural]

lovely patch...

[hallow slate]

Yeah probably. I used hooks

[spiral mural]

i mean im not completely

overriding the function

[iron breach]

where would i find an example of an atlas object in the vanilla remade mod

[chrome widget]

Okay finished the main suit palette

[loud summit]

how do you change what file is loaded outside of the game

trying to load my main save file crashes

[chrome widget]

Some of them are more egregious but I think they're close enough to vanilla to work

[viscid talon]

cudgel (unfortunately) works

why did i design this bos sblind

[iron breach]

cool

[iron breach]

what does it do

[viscid talon]

-1 hand size per hand played

permanent

[spiral mural]

i hate boss blinds which affect things outside of their blind

[chrome widget]

Huh..... I'm actually not sure how to change the default atlases for playing cards

[iron breach]

they're retaliating because of the chicot bug

[iron breach]

i think it says smth about it on the atlas object page on the wiki

me when i accidentally make my joker and atlas files jsons instead of luas

i was wondering why there was so much red text

[chrome widget]

Time to overwrite get_front_spriteinfo to death

[viscid talon]

haahahahahaahah

[spiral mural]

🍅

[viscid talon]

you cannot

there are some upcoming jokers that should make it easier to get larger hand sizes

[hushed briar]

hi folks, anyone have an idea of how i would go about adding a set of items that function like vouchers but arent included with them? like i dont want them to show up in the shop with vouchers or in the voucher tab in the collection, but i do want them to be in the voucher menu during a run or in a similar menu of its own

[toxic cave]

bump

[hushed briar]

like should i be using SMODS.Voucher for something like that or should i create a SMODS.Consumable

[slim ferry]

since youre creating an entire new object type with custom collection and menus youre probably best off extending SMODS.Center

[hushed briar]

makes sense, thank you

[frosty rampart]

you mmmmight be slightly better off extending smods.voucher and then futzing around to undo some stuff that vouchers do
extending smods.center is cleaner in the end, but requires you to re-add some stuff that vouchers do too

maybe i should just try extending smods.center and put together a guide on how to do that properly lmao

[spiral mural]

where is a array of suits/a array of suit keys stored?

[chrome widget]

Kills ur palette toggle for fun

[lament agate]

crash about trying to call set_ability

whats wrong with this

[mellow marsh]

you're copying card into G.hand, but im pretty sure that second argument is supposed to specify a card to copy onto, not an area

[sage crater]

that better have a wildly low chip requirement

[viscid talon]

x1 base

[sage crater]

WHY 😭

[upper quarry]

You're telling me they were off all this time?

[sage crater]

oh wait nvm, needle is also X1 base

[upper quarry]

actually another question, will this work with high contrast?

[candid arch]

is there a way to make a card count as any rank for joker effects?

im making a joker that changes the wild card effect to counting as any rank instead of any suit

[mystic river]

currently, no
but quantum ranks any day now

[candid arch]

there's no way to do it?

like at all

[mystic river]

i mean. if you constructed the entire function and also took ownership of all jokers that cared about rank to make them use the function

[candid arch]

that wouldnt work with other mods

:I

[mystic river]

then no

[candid arch]

i mean could you maybe have the card loop thru all ranks instead of posing as all of them at once

or, no that;d break stuff like hack wouldnt it

[mystic river]

Card:get_id() is the current canonical method of checking rank, and it returns one number

[candid arch]

dang

[daring fern]

No, there is a way.

[spiral mural]

quantum ranks tomorrow

[candid arch]

👀

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/dev/lovely/multirank.toml

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/dev/main.lua#L1543

[candid arch]

what is this

[daring fern]

It's the only way to do quantum ranks whilst still being mostly compatible with mods.

[candid arch]

how do i make this work for my joker?

[candid arch]

im still pretty new to lua and balatro modding and looking at this file is making me confused

[daring fern]

It replaces every card:get_id() == id with ids_op(card, '==', id)

[candid arch]

ooohh

i cant just, copy this code for my mod though? like wouldnt that be stealing

[daring fern]

I didn't write this code, also other people have used this code before.

[candid arch]

ah is that allowed then?

hm

[brazen kite]

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.change_suit and context.other_card:is_suit("Diamonds") then
            card.ability.extra.mult = card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_mod
        end

is there a reason this is doing jack shit

[mystic river]

change_suit only happens when a card actually changes suit (e.g. starring a diamond won't do anything)

also i have no idea whether context.other_card is the card before or after the suit change

[chrome widget]

There we go, seeing double's gradient is now procedurally applied from a flat color base sprite

[daring fern]

You should check if context.new_suit == 'Diamonds'

[brazen kite]

But is that compatible with wild cards

[obtuse silo]

[candid arch]

so i put the multirank.toml file in my mod's lovely folder, and then put the ids_op function into my mod's main.lua?

[daring fern]

You would put the multirank.toml in a lovely folder in your mod, then you would take the function from the second link and modify it to check for your joker.

[obtuse silo]

i want the effect to apply to not the joker
but to the card being added

[candid arch]

ohh awesome, ill see if i can do that and then check back with you

i appreciate all your help! thank you so much! 😊

[daring fern]

Change card to context.card

[hushed briar]

if you end up doing this id love to see it

[daring fern]

No.

[brazen kite]

Yeah i figured which is why i didn't attempt it

Well I'll figure it out

[daring fern]

You would do if (context.other_card:is_suit('Diamonds') or context.new_suit == 'Diamonds')

[brazen kite]

Why would context.other_card:is_suit('Diamonds') on its own not work

[daring fern]

Because the card hasn't changed suit yet.

[candid arch]

there's a lot of parts with the "SEALS" key(?) (i think it's the mod key) in the function code and i dont know which parts to delete and what to replace them with

[river grail]

gonna prank my dad when quantum ranks get merged

[hardy vessel]

Does anyone know where the check for having 0 or less hands giving you a game over is? I'm working on an effect that gives you -1 hand when setting a blind, but if you end up with 0 you don't lose

[pastel kernel]

hey guys

i'm currently on version 1224

i would like to inquire why config is a nil value

yes this is my own message, and my own screenshot

this is no laughing matter.

[daring fern]

What is that line in the lovely dump?

[candid arch]

holy shit tysm!! so i replace "mod" with my mod's filename?

[pastel kernel]

this one?

[daring fern]

No, mod is short for modulo.

[candid arch]

ahh got it!

[daring fern]

No, Mods/lovely/dump/functions/UI_definitions.lua

[candid arch]

so while this joker is active, it patches all instances of the old id checks with these new ones and inserts all ranks into a wild card's rank table?

oh shoot i guess i'd also need to diable the wild card's current effect of counting as all ranks

[pastel kernel]

there's no functions

[candid arch]

i think i can actually just hook that as normal

hold on a sec

[daring fern]

Yes, I can't fit the next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')) checks in the message without going over the Discord message limit.

[candid arch]

you're amazing, thank you so much 🙏

i hope i havent been a burden with all my noob questions haha

[pastel kernel]

unless you mean in balatro, there is that

like the main balatro folder

the steam folder

[daring fern]

Are you sure that is the right folder?

[candid arch]

ah i thought i would just put those two functions in a if context.joker check in the joker's code

[pastel kernel]

pretty sure

[daring fern]

No, those go outside the joker's code, also context.joker doesn't exist.

[candid arch]

context.joker_main** sry

if not inside the joker's code, do i put them in main.lua?

i dont know of any other place to put it

[daring fern]

Yes.

[candid arch]

gotcha!

[candid arch]

in main.lua

is this correct

[daring fern]

No, you put the next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key')) check in every if that checks if the card is a wild card inside the ids_op function.

[candid arch]

alright

(in joker's code) this in theory should disable the rank effect on wild cards

upon testing it doesn't. might've missed something, lemme try

[daring fern]

No, you should be patching SMODS.has_any_suit

[candid arch]

ack i didnt know about that, thank you

[brisk tree]

is there a way to specify which cards should be drawn next from the deck (Like a specific rank or suit)?

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[brisk tree]

A joker that makes the next drawn cards match the rank of at least one of the cards in the previously played hand

effect doesn't trigger on the first hand of round or if the deck doesn't have any cards that match the criteria

[candid arch]

?

[daring fern]

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

[candid arch]

that is what i'm using, i've got that page open on the side

or, well i'm hooking it which ia different i guess

does simply hooking SMODS.has_any_suit not work?

[daring fern]

Yes, because you need to make it so specifically wild cards don't make cards count as all suits, but other things can.

[pastel kernel]

so what now?

[candid arch]

right, but i thought that hook covered it?

[daring fern]

No, because if a card is a wild card then it can't be any suit.

[candid arch]

ah okay

[final jewel]

Where do I need to initialise my global

[daring fern]

In Game:init_game_object

[candid arch]

[manifest] # Header for the file, this should only be here once at the beginning
version = "0.1.0"
priority = 0 # Priority for loading the file

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]

function SMODS.has_any_suit(card) end
''' # The line(s) you want to patch. In pattern patches it should be the whole line(s). Make sure it's unique in that file.
position = "at" # Where you want to patch it: 'before', 'after' or 'at' (this last one replaces the whole pattern)
payload = '''

end
''' # What code you want to replace it with.
match_indent = true

how's this

i found the definition for has_any_suits in this file utils.lua

[olive path]

any documentation that explains how to use the patches lovely.toml file?

[daring fern]

No, the pattern would be if k == 'm_wild' or G.P_CENTERS[k].any_suit then return true end and the payload would be if (k == 'm_wild' and not next(SMODS.find_card('j_modprefix_key'))) or G.P_CENTERS[k].any_suit then return true end

[candid arch]

what about the target?

[daring fern]

=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]

[candid arch]

thank you!

[candid arch]

fsr the rank effect doesnt work with smiley face/scary face, but it does work for shoot the moon. i guess i also need to add the face catagory and not just have the specific face ranks?

@daring fern how would i go about that

[daring fern]

Hook Card:is_face

[candid arch]

got it.

does it matter if i do it in joker code or main.lua

i wouldve just put it in main.lua for consistency

[daring fern]

Yes, you shouldn't hook inside of jokers.

[candid arch]

oh! i had no idea, thanks for the tip :]

how come you shouldnt? does it cause any sort of issues?

[sturdy compass]

I think they mean don't hook inside of the joker init object itself. You are free to hook inside of the files as long as they're outside of the object inits

[candid arch]

ohh, i guess that also works! what would happen if you did it specifically inside a joker's init?

[sturdy compass]

It just wouldn't work lmao

[candid arch]

how would i change the enhancement description while this joker is active? just like changing "suit" to "rank"

[daring fern]

You would take ownership of it's loc_vars and return key to redirect the localization to a different entry.

[candid arch]

is there an example of that on the wiki?

[iron breach]

i love when modded balatro crashes with no crash report

[harsh belfry]

well, no

i mean

you can see the take ownership page

[harsh belfry]

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('joker', -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
    cost = 5,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        -- more on this later
    end
    },
    true -- silent | suppresses mod badge
)

this is for jokers

instead of SMODS.Joker it would be SMODS.Enhancement

SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership("wild", {
  loc_vars = function (self, info_queue, card)
      if next(SMODS.find_card("j_MODPREFIX_JOKERKEY")) then
          return { key = "m_wild_rank" }
      end
  end
})

and you would add an enhancement entry in the localization

            m_wild_rank={
                name="Wild Card",
                text={
                    "Can be used",
                    "as any rank",
                },
            },

like that

[candid arch]

oooh!

oh, i guess now would be a good time to port all the descriptions and names of my jokers into a proper loc file huh

i wasnt doing that up until now

[harsh belfry]

yeah theres certain things you just

can't do

no multibox either

[candid arch]

like as general taboo or just actually impossible

[harsh belfry]

actually impossible

loc_txt is deprecated

so it does not get any new features

[candid arch]

oh what??

[harsh belfry]

(deprecated meaning it won't be removed but it also isn't recommended for use and will not be worked on)

[candid arch]

also this goes in main.lua right

[harsh belfry]

yes

or wherever you've made that joker

(also remember to replace the MODPREFIX_JOKERKEY placeholder!)

[candid arch]

how can i make the new wild card effect count towards poker hands? right now it really only works with joker effects, but the wild cards arent counted for actual poker hands (if i had 5 differently ranked wild cards, it wouldnt give me a 5oak, for example)

[frosty rampart]

either a lot of manually-coded effort (check how cryptid maximized works possibly? and even then that's not exactly what you need, since it makes cards count as one extra specific rank) or waiting for the quantum ranks pull request to finally get merged (which will handle all the difficult stuff for you)

calculating how straights work with wild ranks like this in particular is kind of tricky. although entropy does have a joker that handles it with stone cards filling in gaps in straights

[candid arch]

ahhh i guess that does seem complex

maybe i won't worry about that for now then, since wilds dont change the card's chip value with mr. rorschach in your deck

so they prob shouldnt affect poker hands either

might be confusing to players though, i'll probably add a note in the joker description

[lusty marten]

hey , are there any code to trigger joker from right to left?

[lament agate]

is there another condition for consumables to be usable regardless of room?

because

can_use = function(self, card)
        return G.consumeables and true or false
    end

doesnt work

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Somethingcom515/SealsOnJokers/blob/dev/main.lua#L1615-L1731

[daring fern]

No, Maximized just hooks Card:get_id

[harsh belfry]

i mean its pretty effective

it screws with poker hands

and it affects the face and number detection

plus probably more

it doesn't cover everything

though

that being said it isn't great for if you want multiple ranks

[daring fern]

No, Card:is_face uses card.base.value not Card:get_id

[harsh belfry]

why do you think i posted that lmao

i saw that those two contained self:get_id

[daring fern]

Yes, it doesn't use Card:get_id to check for faces.

[harsh belfry]

its right there bro

self:get_id

oh wait

what??

why doesn't it

lmao

ig its just the stone check

but that could be done with a simple rankless check

[daring fern]

That's what the id > 0 does.

[harsh belfry]

yeah but

theres a function for that

that get_id calls

whats the point

just use the function

[lament agate]

bump

[daring fern]

You mean you want your consumable to be able to be obtained without needing room?

[lament agate]

uhh its like

this consumable creates another negative consumables regardless the room is full or not

[candid arch]

i sold the joker that makes wild cards act as any rank instead of any suit, but they still get debuffed by the Plant

[chrome widget]

Does anyone know an effective way to override the atlases of Vanilla suits? Rather than using a deckskin, I specifically need to replace the default low contrast atlas

[daring fern]

What does your Card:is_face hook look like?

[errant fulcrum]

I would assume the same way a texture pack does it

[chrome widget]

Nope

Technically so, but I had to directly edit the existing palette table/map for the vanilla suits, which doesn't seem to be currently supported with take_ownership (which just early returns if the key's already been registered)

[junior tapir]

I'm trying to use SMODS.Gradient, but something doesn't work quite right, can anyone tell why? The mod Balatro Gardens has identical use of the SMODS functionality, but when I try it it doesn't work

SMODS.Gradient {
    key = "buried_treasure",
    colours = {
        HEX("f1f9ff"),
        HEX("9ed1f2"),
        HEX("b6ab95")
    }
}
-- {C:CTEH_buried_treasure}

[wintry solar]

Make your key for the colour all lower case

[junior tapir]

you mean no underscore? doesn't work even like that

whaaat, is the mod prefix not case sensitive????

[wintry solar]

Colour keys are made lower case

Specifically for text styling only

[junior tapir]

so it is not case sensitive in a niche scenario, otherwise is? I'd have to try

nope, never has been case sensitive

so it's always better to have it lowercase, unless I don't know about another niche scenario that would require uppercase

which I doubt there is

[wintry solar]

Nothing requires any casing requirements, in almost every situation your mod prefix will be exactly how you defined it, just for colour keys in text styling it is forced to be lower case (I don’t recall the reason why, might be some vanilla jank)

[elder rune]

How do you check if a specific card is a Joker

[daring fern]

if card.ability.set == 'Joker'

[elder rune]

yeah I just found that out

[storm kraken]

this actually makes sense if you think about it

[wicked leaf]

im trying to make a joker that triggers when the joker to the left triggers but I cant quite figure it out

[daring fern]

It's context.other_card not context.other_joker

[wicked leaf]

thank you

[sleek valley]

i've been trying to figure this out since last night, i cant make the seal score properly

im just trying to test right now with only the chips modifier and i cant figure it out

[wintry solar]

function(self, card, context)

[sleek valley]

...somedays i wish i wasnt just figuratively blind

thank you though

[copper thorn]

hello again, been a long time since i've been there, i need help

how to i make a custom small text beside a jokers description like the screenshot (and how do i associate it with any joker) ?

[barren sentinel]

no ideA

[toxic cave]

bump part 6

[umbral zodiac]

in the loc_vars function of a joker, add info_queue[#info_queue+1] = ...

what's in ... changes depending on what youre trying to do

for a joker itd be G.P_CENTERS.joker_key, for example info_queue[#info_queue+1] = G.P_CENTERS.j_joker

[barren sentinel]

how have you been playing modded Minecraft for well over 4 days

[umbral zodiac]

i have not

curseforge has been open for 4 days

[copper thorn]

thanks

Hey all, I've been working on this mod; Balatro Time, for the past weekend and was hoping for some feedback.
https://github.com/KoenRB/BalatroTime

Also, if anyone knows someone willing to work on joker art, I'd gladly get some help 😛
(ofc artists will be credited)

[random basin]

game crashes upon opening the hand types menu, most likely coded the localization wrong:

en-us.lua:

            Mahjong = "A standard Mahjong hand consisting of",
            "4 sets of Pungs or Chows and a Pair.",
        },
        poker_hands = {
            Mahjong = "Mahjong",
        }```
pokerhands.lua:
```SMODS.PokerHand {
    key = "Mahjong",
    mult = 12,
    chips = 160,
    l_mult = 6,
    l_chips = 60,
    example = {{'S_A', true}, {'S_A', true}, {'S_2', true}, {'S_3', true}, {'S_4', true}, {'S_5', true}, {'S_6', true},
               {'D_7', true}, {'D_8', true}, {'D_9', true}, {'H_5', true}, {'H_5', true}, {'H_5', true}, {'H_5', true}},
    evaluate = function(parts, hand)
        if not #hand ~= 14 then
            return
        end
        if #parts._2 ~= 1 then
            return
        end
        local pungs = #parts._3
        local chows = get_chow(hand)
        local chow_count = #chows
        if pungs + chow_count < 4 then
            return
        end
    end
}
...```

i'll test if it's because the game can't handle 14 items in the example array still crashes

[red flower]

the description should be a table

[iron breach]

my joker's kinda arealess

also it doesn't trigger on a hand

[elder rune]

do G.jokers:emplace(card) after the create_card

[iron breach]

k thx

[copper thorn]

you just made an obnoxious stalker joker... well done

[red flower]

use add_card instead of create_card and instead of emplacing

emplacing also misses add_to_deck

[random basin]

still crashes, updated:

            ["Mahjong"] = {"A standard Mahjong hand consisting of",
            "4 sets of Pungs or Chows and a Pair.", }
        },```

unless i'm copying the example from vanillaremodded wrong

                "If the played hand is not any of the above",
                "hands, only the highest ranked card scores",
            },```

[red flower]

is it the same crash, and are you starting a new run

[random basin]

let me restart the run

[red flower]

oh yeah youre missing the prefix also

[random basin]

the prefix?

[elder rune]

mod prefix

[random basin]

oh

[red flower]

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

[random basin]

[modtitle_key] then right

[red flower]

yes

unless by title you mean the mod name in which case no

[random basin]

the id in the mod json I assume

[red flower]

no

the prefix in the json

its a different field

[iron breach]

also how do i make it immediately trigger instead of waiting for the end of the next shop

[random basin]

ah i'm stupid

[elder rune]

idk

[lament agate]

pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
    config = { max_highlighted = 2, odds = 2 },

            end
            return true
        end
    }))

    delay(0.6)
end

this doesnt do anything when used, am i doing it wrong

[red flower]

does the button just do nothing or does it do parts of the effect

[lament agate]

does nothingw

when used

[random basin]

sick, lots of issues but at least that's squared away

[lament agate]

could it be the odds?

[iron breach]

i'm getting a crash that's saying something about "[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]:583: bad argument #1 to '(for generator)' (table expected, got string)" after i changed some code in tags

[obtuse silo]

do i really have to make this object type this way-

[lament agate]

bump

[normal crest]

alternatively you can add to each of those jokers definitions this: pools = { MintCondition = true }

[obtuse silo]

i see

[cunning bison]

maybe try moving odds sothat config = {max_highlighted=2, extra = {odds = 2}}, I think when applying consumables the info gets moved into extra causing a possible nil reference issue

[lament agate]

nope

doesnt work

[cunning bison]

hmmm, no error either right? maybe if you paste the full obj I can try debugging locally for a bit

[lament agate]

nope no error either

heres the obj

    config = { max_highlighted = 2, extra = {odds = 2} },
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    local n, d = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'withering_chance')
    return { vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted, n, d } }
end,
use = function(self, card, area, copier)
    local targets = area.highlighted
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 0.4,
        func = function()
            play_sound('tarot1')
            card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)

            for i = 1, #targets do
                local c = targets[i]

                c.debuff = true
                c:juice_up(0.25, 0.3)

                if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(
                    card,

                    c.ability.repetitions = (c.ability.repetitions or 0) + 1
                    play_sound('bd_inapmit', 1, 0.7)
                end
            end
            return true
        end
    }))
    delay(0.6)
end

[cunning bison]

this starts at config, do you have the SMODS.<etc...> = function(etc...) lines too?

[lament agate]

oh sure

thought its unnecessary

SMODS.Consumable {
    atlas = "consumisprints",
    key = 'hangedprint',
    set = 'mistarot',
    pos = { x = 2, y = 1 },
        config = { max_highlighted = 2, extra = {odds = 2} },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local n, d = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.odds, 'withering_chance')
        return { vars = { card.ability.max_highlighted, n, d } }
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        local targets = area.highlighted
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.4,
            func = function()
                play_sound('tarot1')
                card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)

                for i = 1, #targets do
                    local c = targets[i]

                    c.debuff = true
                    c:juice_up(0.25, 0.3)

                    if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(
                        card,
                        'geekedupplayingbalatroallday' .. i,
                        1,
                        card.ability.odds
                    ) then
                        c.ability.repetitions = (c.ability.repetitions or 0) + 1
                        play_sound('bd_inapmit', 1, 0.7)
                    end

    end
}

[random basin]

Anyone have documentation/examples for SMODS.PokerHandPart?

[cunning bison]

Using G.hand.highlighted instea of area.highlighted might be the fix, i got an error on the psuedorandom_probability func now, its at least cycling through the targets

[lament agate]

i see

[junior tapir]

I'm trying to do some kind of fading effect on joker names (which clearly doesn't work right now but that's not the point), but if I use variables that are string concatenations, this happens: the Nth letter of each concatenated string is synched up with all other Nth letters of the rest of the strings, and if the entire string is a concatenation of singular characters, then the 'First' effect is in place (it treats them all as 'first letter')
Code: ``` name = Fade_Gradient({HEX("009CFD"),HEX("A267E4"),HEX("E8463D"),HEX("F7AF38")},'quad_dice','First',false,0) .. '{C:cteh_wild_seals}Second'..'{C:cteh_wild_seals}Third'

Here is also some video footage (all concatenation string is also weirdly spaced out :/ )
Maybe there is a way in Lua to remove this weird effect, any clues?

Even if you have the joker name be name = 'J' .. 'o' .. 'k' .. 'e' .. 'r', they would too be all synchronized, I haven't used the exact same implementation in the example (the Fade_Gradient functions kinda acts like a black box), but I think I delivered the message

[toxic cave]

bump part i forgot

[red flower]

I dont entirely get this but is the problem that the same gradient is always synced up?

[iron breach]

is there a way to set the suit or rank of a card with a joker similar to how midas mask makes face cards gold

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#smodschange_basecard-suit-rank---card-string

[iron breach]

thx

[junior tapir]

No, the gradient is independent, even without any coloring the same applies, any new concatenations in a way resets the up-down movement

[red flower]

ah you mean the animation?

[junior tapir]

oh wait, no I'm dumb

[red flower]

that's normal, the game generates a new dynatext for each block

[junior tapir]

without color stuff works fine

[red flower]

yeah because the color generates a ui element

no real way to fix it without changing how the text is displayed

[cunning bison]

Get it to work?

[lament agate]

i did get it to work

i forgot how

[iron breach]

the description shows nil for the suit variable and the change_base utility doesn't do anything

[red flower]

suit in calculate is not defined and in the description it should be #1#

[iron breach]

forgot to mention i replaced suit in the change_base to G.GAME.current_round.wath_mod_rainbow_joker.suit

[red flower]

i recommend wrapping it in assert like the docs recommend if it still doesnt work

that lets you know what the error is

[iron breach]

wrapping the change_base or the calculate?
