i just wasn't sure about when the grads were initialized
harsh belfry
yes but theres two senses of initialized isn't there

which are?
harsh belfry
for some things no
slim ferry
well at least
the object that gets returned from any of the functions
is the same as what gets injected
candid arch
okay so good news, it IS gradient-ing\
but it also seems like one of the colors its going to is invisible
or like 0 alpha
harsh belfry
oh thats funny
slim ferry
yeah because
the second colour you put has an alpha of 01
and the first one has an alpha of 06
harsh belfry
ngl just remove the alpha
its just gonna look weird
additional note: these are basically the same except that Game.update is called with self and dt, self being G while love.update is just called with dt
for your future reference
candid arch

awesome it works! thank you so much!!

how do you draw a seperate sprite underneath a joker card? i have a specific visual i want for my eldritch joker where it has sprawing veins reaching to the left when there's jokers left of it
the veins would probably just be a single sprite drawn below the eldritch joker, but preferably ABOVE other nearby jokers. is any of this possible?

whats the cleanest way to undo a take ownership effect thats tied to a joker? my idea is to call two separate take ownership functions from add_to_deck and remove_from_deck, but i assume there's a better way to do it

just take ownership once and check if you have the joker in the functions in it

find_mod works pretty much the same as find_card
you can also set specific objects to have mod dependencies, which works the same and additionally adds the other mod badge to the card right below your own mod badge

wind steppe
wait its sometimes working
you do have a 1 in 4 probability in there
vestal wraith
ohhhh
wind steppe
wait apparently joker_main does have a cardarea argument? dont really need it here anyways though
vestal wraith
uhhhh i might need some elaboration
wind steppe
on what part
vestal wraith
cardarea arguments
wind steppe
the joker_main context DOES have cardarea in its context table
but unless a mod specifically patches it itll always be equal to G.jokers
so the check isnt needed
vestal wraith
okay so then remove the check?
wind steppe
yes
other things to remove: the if true then and its corresponding end
and since the description doesnt mention probabilities remove the SMODS.pseudorandom_probability and its corresponding end so that it isnt a 1 in 4
vestal wraith

chrome widget
Oh yeah wondering about some opinions on UX here:
When you open up a palette, the swatches on the right select palette colors and the controls below change the palette color
However, I've added the ability for any one card to override the primary palette color. Currently this is denoted by a purple background to show that a card is overriding the currently selected palette color. Right clicking a card toggles whether it uses the override, and left clicking selects whether you edit one card's override or the main color (which highlights it like a normal card)
Idk if this explanation makes any sense without being able to physically use the thing but control wise I'm not keen on the left clik right clock thing? Or how specifically it's denoting/switching between main and override colors
wind steppe
maybe it should be a checkbox

can I throw custom local variables in SMODS.Rank or will it crash the game?
I could just pick out all the individual cards in checking later but it would be convenient to go honor = true right below the face variable in the object

redeem is a base Card function
is this to say it doesnt get used while under smods...?

it does

i have already lovely patched it to look for my object type too

what's the error specifically? redeem is nil?

yeah

can i see the whole log and the code

oh, you are calling the redeem function without it having one
smods checks if the voucher has one
also i think that's not how select_card should be used

makes sense, but i still dont know how i would give it the redeem function
i tried adding redeem = Card.redeem into the object definition but it didnt help

Hello, im trying to make a joker that gives chips for every different enhancement and edition in your deck,

if i == SMODS.get_enhancements(playing_card, false)[1] then

end
end
if is_unique then
diff_enhancements = diff_enhancements + 1
list_different_enhancements[diff_enhancements] = SMODS.get_enhancements(playing_card, false)[1]
end
is_unique = true
for _, i in ipairs(list_different_editions) do
if i == playing_card:get_edition() then

end
end
if is_unique then
diff_editions = diff_editions + 1
list_different_editions[diff_editions] = playing_card:get_edition()

But it gives out 1560 chips, as if all cards had a different enhancement and a different edition.
Does anyone know why?

probably has to do with interacting with the default straights in a bad way

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-patch
So I gave a read but I still dont fully grasp it
In an apply or a calculate function you can pretty much alter the deck object, add cards, do stuff like that, in the very code i shared i pretty much did just that. And just so in case I understood, patches ONLY make sense if the action to be altered is before AND during an ongoing event? And I ask before because I thought that deck building would count as something before the game starts, which is why one puts it on the apply (start of the game) and specifies to trigger before so it happens before the game actually starts. But then, building a deck would mean is its own event and using a patch is meant to override that ongoing event? I just want to make sure I understand correctly

if you have a function from the base game and you need to do something in the middle of that function it is kinda annoying to do without patches
rugged salmon
I... still dont get it. Why would it be annoying? Because UI would execute after the change like what is happening to me with the snippet i shared?
Is it more of a timing problem?
red flower
idk i havent read your problem i was just clarifying what a patch is
ok now i have, the problem is that there's no timing in apply for you to delete the cards before you can open the UI afaik
honestly, there should be an easy way to stop the initial cards in a deck
what you can also do is hook SMODS.add_to_deck and block all ranks and suits from spawning on the initial deck
rugged salmon
So far, what I understood is
- patches are used only to override base game or existing mod events before these are executed
- apply function execute the moment the game start
- Attempting to create an event in the apply function would put it in a later position in the event queue after the base game event
- Because We cannot access the card game data unless we send it unto said event and it would be unreasonable to use manual timing (youd be fighting the engine at that point), patches are instead used

Looking for help to make a very big balatro mod. I have many ideas that supersede any actual skill, so I'm looking for where to start. I have.. very little experience coding, to say the least, but i want to learn and YT tutorials on Balatro modding are few and far between. Any pointers?

I made a localization file for my mod for a cleaner and easier way to change text, the first 4 jokers I did worked fine, but all the rest show blank text boxes and no names in-game.
here's one of the ones that worked:
j_mysingingjokers_ambigram = {
name = "Ambigram",
text = {
"Each scored {C:attention}#1# {}gives {X:red,C:white}X2{} Mult,",
"rank switches to {C:attention}#2# {}next round"
},
},
here's one of the ones that didn't:
j_mysingingjokers_collectionbook = {
name = "Collection Book",
text = {
"{C:blue}+10{} Chips for every unique",
"{C:tarot}Tarot{} card used this run",
"{C:inactive}(Currently{} {C:blue}+#1# {}{C:inactive}Chips){}"
},
},
is it even a code issue?

doesn't look like the issue is there
make sure those tables are not nested and there isn't anything in loc_vars that might break it
and that the keys are correct too
short fulcrum
keys are definitely correct
and all the formatting in the localization file is consistant
I'll check the other thing you said
it all seems like it should work
I can't find anything that would affect it
the weirdest thing is that it's specifically the first 4 I did that work
all the ones after that don't work
and I didn't change how I did it between them
ah I found the issue
one of the brackets was slightly misplaced
wait it still doesn't work?
I have no idea then
just a second slightly misplaced bracket
and it actually works now for real
frosty rampart
maybe try calling it something other than just "blinds"? that's my first/only guess tbh

didnt change anything

No, it would be madman_c.key

the problem is still that you're adding the card to itself in the info_queue so that check is still wrong

madman_c should be aura
since madman_c is just the last spectral according to this and in my test its aura

sleek valley
does anyone know what exactly G.P_CARDS is used for?
frosty rampart
it's a table of every possible rank + suit combination
card:set_base() takes an entry from G.P_CARDS as an argument, which determines what rank and suit the card is set to
sleek valley
i see
wait, so could i then use set_base to, for example, tranform a card into an Ace of the same suit?
frosty rampart
yea
although you really shouldn't, because SMODS.change_base exists and abstracts that process away
sleek valley
ah
wish i had found that sooner then .w.

How do I call function defined in main body?
I have main_suit = function() .. return true end
and then local_vars calling main_suit.
It crashes saying attempt to call global 'main_suit' (a nil value)

Like
`SMODS.Consumable{

Thanks!
daring fern
i see that the function returns `scoring_hand`, but that doesn't seem to be it, ...
Yes, it is scoring_hand

Yes, it is `scoring_hand`
local pokerhand, _, _, handcards = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(context.other_drawn)
for _, _card in ipairs(handcards) do G.hand:add_to_highlighted(_card, true) end
It's not doing the highlighting tho, is this code wrong?
okay it actually does highlight them, it just unhighlights them instantly further in the code instead of waiting for the other stuff to complete

white hull
what function should i patch in order to have a certain joker *always* be picked...
you'll probably need to patch each item individually to have them select the joker. maybe you could patch pseudorandom_element() to detect if it's picking jokers and then always pick your joker, but i dunno
slim ferry
what function should i patch in order to have a certain joker *always* be picked...
you could probably just hook pseudorandom_element for this and check if the elements in the table are also tables and then check if their area == G.jokers

it shouldnt but it is doing that

well in this case it would be args and ...
not args is in the case where you want it to appear if args is nil
smoky holly
ah i see
red flower
hmm no idea why judgement doesn't work tho i have tested that before and it worked for me
smoky holly
so it would be return args and pull == "sho" and pull == "buf" and pull == "rta" ?

return args and (pull == "sho" or pull == "buf" or pull == "rta")

ahhhh
thaaaat makes a lot more sense thank you

i'm testing this with wraith, it's spawning on wraith still
do i have to refer to them inversely? like putting in which cases it shouldnt spawn instead?

good call because it doesnt work when i set it to false either

im so dumb
i only put in_pool
i need to add [joker_name].in_pool
smoky holly
uh... should we... not be?

i have seen people do that but it makes me doubt you're adding stuff to the joker correctly at all lol
should be like this

well i haven't seen how you do it
smoky holly
what we're doing rn is having each joker be their own .lua
and then the config, functions, and .Joker are all separated in there

i wouldn't recommend that, some things are taken care of during initialization
doesn't matter for in_pool in particular but it's not a good idea

Is there a way to make a larger than normal blind reward not look awkward? I want one of my boss blinds to have a $20 reward (in exchange for -$10 per hand) but it makes the blind really wide and bad looking. I think I've seen numbers been used before to represent rewards?
