[stoic void]

have a look at this maybe

it is all of balatro as a mod

[cerulean aspen]

anyone know why this dosent worK?

@daring fern if you know whats wrong with it

[daring fern]

other_joker doesn't exist in the first if

[cerulean aspen]

ah okay

[past kelp]

vanlla remade is slightly different than the version i am using

[stoic void]

what is different?

[past kelp]

the way everything iis alligned when i put it into my code

    name = "Jokerless",
    id = 'c_jokerless_1',
    rules = {
        custom = {
            {id = 'no_shop_jokers'},
        },
        modifiers = {
        }
    },
    jokers = {
        {id = 'j_canio'},
        {id = 'j_triboulet'},
        {id = 'j_yorick'},
        {id = 'j_chicot'},
        {id = 'j_perkeo'},
    },
    consumeables = {
    },
    vouchers = {
    },
    deck = {
        type = 'Challenge Deck'
    },
    restrictions = {
        banned_cards = { 
        },
        },
        banned_tags = {
        },
        banned_other = {
        }
    } ```

the error wo't copy

[stoic void]

change canio into caino

[past kelp]

oh ii thought i rechanged it

oh i copied the wrong code

        name = "Jokerless",
        id = 'c_jokerless_1',
        rules = {
            custom = {
                {id = 'no_shop_jokers'},
            },
            modifiers = {
            }
        },

        }
    } 
}  ```

[stoic void]

I dont like how the code starts with "{"
Is there any code before this

before what is sent on the message

[past kelp]

yes the other challenges are berfore it

[stoic void]

can you screenshot the top off the code

for the jokerless

I just wanna be extra sure on something

[stoic void]

so this is you trying to change a challenge to get all legendaries?

right?

[past kelp]

yes

[stoic void]

what code do you have to replace the code of the existing challenge?

[past kelp]

what do you mean

i replaced jokerless as a challenge

[stoic void]

SMODS.Challenge:take_ownership('jokerless', {
{
        name = "Jokerless",
        id = 'c_jokerless_1',
        rules = {
            custom = {
                {id = 'no_shop_jokers'},
            },
            modifiers = {
            }
        },
        jokers = {
            {id = 'j_caino'},
            {id = 'j_triboulet'},
            {id = 'j_yorick'},
            {id = 'j_chicot'},
            {id = 'j_perkeo'},
        },
        consumeables = {
        },
        vouchers = {
        },
        deck = {
            type = 'Challenge Deck'
        },
        restrictions = {
            banned_cards = { 
            },
            },
            banned_tags = {
            },
            banned_other = {
            }
        }
    } 
}, true)

I wanna like look at this

at the top it says it will replace the existing jokerless challenge

[past kelp]

Should i put this n and try it

[stoic void]

maybe?

-# I'm not sure if this WILL work, but I hope it does

[past kelp]

hold on let me just restart this mod because itcnat open no matter what i do

ok i have a normal balatro now

[sleek valley]

what would be the if statement to check if a card already has a seal(any kind) on it?

like if a joker wants to apply a seal, i dont want that seal replacing the one that's already there

[past kelp]

One last thing does anyone know how to add new pages to the challenge menu

[wintry solar]

they are automatically added when you add more challenges

[past kelp]

oh cool

I probaly added a challenge wrong last time

[sleek valley]

i'd suggest you read through https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Challenge to make sure you get it right

[slim ferry]

put the drawstep stuff into soul_pos.draw but replace G.shared_soul with card.children.floating_sprite

And remove the draw_major thing

And then remove the drawstep itself ofc

[stoic void]

"put the drawstep stuff into soul_pos.draw"

wha

sorry my brain isnt braining right now

[dapper sun]

soul_pos.draw

soul_pos = {x = 0, y = 0, draw = function(card, scale_mod, rotate_mod) end}

[stoic void]

ah

yay it works!

aw man

It dosent work when I make it trans

this is what I mean

when I use the malverk texture pack

[past kelp]

I swear I thought you were just using a modding term

[stoic void]

it dosent do the bouncy thing anymore

[stoic void]

I wanted to make sure I specified

[sleek valley]

as funny as it would be, that is sadly not a term anyone would use lol

[stoic void]

😭 It sounds kinda wrong without the message below

[stoic void]

SADLY?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "SADLY" ? 😭

[past kelp]

I thought like a transitiion

or something

[sleek valley]

idk tbh, i just say shit sometimes ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[stoic void]

ok 😭

[past kelp]

what part of the code would tarot card effects be in

[wintry solar]

malverk doesn't have custom draw functions for textures

[stoic void]

aw shucks

[daring fern]

if card.seal, but you should use card:get_seal() if you want to get the seal or check if it has a seal but not for the reason of not replacing it by adding another seal.

idk what im doing wrong

but its not doing anything

[daring fern]

Jokers don't have context.main_scoring

[viscid talon]

gulp

what do i do instead

[daring fern]

context.before and remove the context.cardarea check.

[viscid talon]

ok i did that

it still doesnt do anything

it should be retriggering all played cards twice and then killing itself

nvm i think i figured it out

ok i fixed it

i decided to frankenstein some code together

[sleek valley]

well at least it works
if you ever want to, you can come back and make it cleaner later

                }
        end
    end
})```

the current code

not too shabby if i do say so myself c:

[wintry solar]

that doesn't do what you want it to do

this gives each scored card a separate 1 in 4 chance to be retriggered twice, and then the joker a separate 1 in 4 chance to be destroyed

[sleek valley]

question is, do they want it to go through the whole hand before self destruct, or self destruct the moment even a single card retriggers?

either way, you'd need to remove the second pseudorandom_probability

[wild patrol]

concepting another joker

what do you think

trying to make some jokers that can help defend from chat commands

[primal robin]

is your mod on github

[wild patrol]

private rn until it;s finish

not ready to be played at all lol

[sleek valley]

is it going to destroy itself after it's out of protections?

[wild patrol]

probably not

[sleek valley]

i'd reccomend it does tbh, just for it to be clear to the player that they're vulnerable again lol
other than that, it's neat :3

[granite raptor]

how would i generate a random joker that is compatible with a certain sticker (perishable, in this case?) i don't need the joker to actually have said sticker, just not generate jokers like ride the bus, square, etc

[wild patrol]

it is but just a private repo right now until I feel like it's playable enough for ppl to come accross and download

[sleek valley]

understandable

[viscid talon]

gulp

how do i fix it

[primal robin]

All I'm curious is how you connect to twitch via socket

[viscid talon]

im also currently trying to figure out how to have a joker create a random tag

[wild patrol]

I think they changed it to use a login token

from twitch

cause when u open balatro and click connect opens authorization page to link your twitch account

[wintry solar]

context.before check your chance and set an internal flag
context.repetition check for flag and send repetitions
context.after check for flag and destroy

[sleek valley]

simply remove the second pseudorandom_probability above the joker destruction

if context.after then
            SMODS.destroy_cards(card, nil, nil, true)
                return {
                    message = "Destroyed!"
                }
        end
    end
})

[primal robin]

I see, that's more complicated but understandable way

[wild patrol]

Originally it was based off ur twitch blind mod

I dunno what they changed

since they are a lot smarter than me when it comes to this i'm just concepting jokers and making some commands lol

[viscid talon]

will it trigger even if i dont roll the 1 in 4 chance

also how do i have a joker make a random tag

[primal robin]

I see, makes sense

[viscid talon]

local tag_pool = get_current_pool('Tag')
local selected_tag = pseudorandom_element(tag_pool, 'modprefix_seed')
local it = 1
while selected_tag == 'UNAVAILABLE' do
    it = it + 1
    selected_tag = pseudorandom_element(tag_pool, 'modprefix_seed_resample'..it)
end

?

ok idk why it did that

[daring fern]

add_tag({key = get_next_tag_key(self.key)})

[viscid talon]

oke

[wintry solar]

that function will break seeding fyi

[daring fern]

No, append is added to all the seeds, so it shouldn't.

[wintry solar]

oh true I am blind nvm

[sage crater]

bump

[slim ferry]

In what sense?

Oh i see

Im pretty sure card.sort_id is what youre looking for

Since that is unique per card and increases per card created

[sage crater]

hell yeah

thank ya kindly

how do I add something to a table that is already constructed?

[slim ferry]

im assuming you mean appending to a number indexed table?

Which would be table[#table+1] = x

[rough furnace]

They should be able to hook SMODS.restart_game. I originally planned to make a system to aid in shutting down threads but I had to reduce scope due to time constraints. It likely will come later. Also sorry I haven't had time to look at handy, how's it going

[slim ferry]

or use table.insert

[primal robin]

I hooked game restart to kill a thread so for now it's fine

About archives is low priority so no progress for now

[tidal hemlock]

(jokerforge) what in the world is my joker doing

[sage crater]

I have a construct method making my jokers, and I have one joker that needs a soul_pos value, but none of the others do, so I'm trying to construct the joker and then add on a soul_pos after it gets constructed

[slim ferry]

joker.soul_pos = ...

[sage crater]

suite

[slim ferry]

joker being whatever table neds that

[sage crater]

would that be like j_modID_jokerName or something

[slim ferry]

huh

[sage crater]

oh nvm, it looks like the key is all it needs

[slim ferry]

what are you actually doing

[sage crater]

I figured it out

[slim ferry]

You could also

[red flower]

why does your joker contructor use positional arguments..

[slim ferry]

let that function do soul_pos

[wintry solar]

wtf is this code

[slim ferry]

And also that looks like torture coding

[sage crater]

I could, but then every other joker would have a nil value

[sage crater]

wdym

[slim ferry]

What

What do you mean

nil is the absence of a value

[sage crater]

no other joker would need a soul_pos

[slim ferry]

that just means it doesnt exist

[sage crater]

yes

[slim ferry]

so

Whats the problem

It wont exist on jokers that dont use soul_pos

[sage crater]

I'd have to write nil 20 times, versus writing soul_pos once

[primal robin]

I do believe this guy is python dev

[sage crater]

oh boy

am I doing something very bad by lua standards

I'm used to Python, Java, and c#

[slim ferry]

Why are you using a wierd function to begin with

[primal robin]

ez

[red flower]

why is it function(key, set, pos, rarity, config, info_queue, calculate) this looks like a nightmare

[sage crater]

that's how my other jokers are written

[wintry solar]

but why

[primal robin]

that' actually crazy

[sage crater]

damn 😔

[wintry solar]

we stopped writing like this after 0.9.8 because it was silly

[red flower]

python has named arguments

[sage crater]

idk, I think I got the order from the smods wiki or something and just never changed it

[wintry solar]

the order isn't the problem

[sage crater]

oh

[wintry solar]

why do you use a constructor function that requires you fill out arguments in a specific order (that doesn't even include all the options) to generate a table to feed into SMODS.Joker instead of writing the table yourself?

[sage crater]

what am I doing wrong? I'm not used to lua 😅

[sage crater]

ohhh

[viscid talon]

        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult, card.ability.extra.dollars, card.ability.extra.mult_gain } }
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.end_of_round and context.game_over == false and not context.blueprint then
            return {
                card.ability.extra.mult == card.ability.extra.mult + card.ability.extra.mult_gain,
                dollars = card.ability.extra.dollars * -1
            }
        end
        if context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
    end
})```

[viscid talon]

why isnt my joker gaining mult

it loses money fine, but it isnt gaining mult

[red flower]

these can be in any order or be missing

[tranquil cypress]

I don't think the mult gain should be in a return

[sage crater]

well- ok, I know that's an option, but making a constructor function saves me a decent amount of time having to rewrite all the variable names

[viscid talon]

oo

[wintry solar]

apart from it being hyper restrictive

[primal robin]

I mean, global replace

[sage crater]

alright fine, I'll go back to how it was before 😔

[wintry solar]

I mean you can do it however you like

it's just the way you have chosen makes it harder to do imo

[red flower]

also if you have lsp you can use autocomplete to save time or vscode snippets or copypasting

[viscid talon]

oke i made it work

[cedar bronze]

would like some help to know if im overcomplicating this
the pitch is an enhancement that, when held in hand, retriggers a random scoring card
i tried experimenting a bit but couldn't seem to make it work from within the smods section? i think because of when the held in hand cards are usually checked

is there an easier way to tell a card it needs to retrigger when the source is a card held in hand than messing with eval_card manually?

[daring fern]

Yes, you need to use the mod calculate.

[cedar bronze]

how do you mean? adding it into the enhancements calculate? it didnt seem to retrigger it when i tried that, im assuming because the held in hand cards arent usually checked then

will tinker with it again and come back if it doesnt work lmao

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.current_mod.calculate

[cedar bronze]

ooooh didnt know that existed, will try messing w that

[cedar bronze]

got this working! but only for the first card causing the effect
i know i could just cause it to retrigger as many times as it should, but i'd really like to make each mirror card do the "again!" pop up individually, is there a good way to do that?

(note the first variable used to say sources before i was tinkering more so thats not the cause lol)

[wintry solar]

your for loop doesn't loop because of the return

[cedar bronze]

i imagined that was the case but not sure how to make it work

[wintry solar]

you need to use SMODS.merge_effects

[cedar bronze]

is there a good place to find out how to use that? not sure where i'd look on the wiki

oh wait maybe found it in utility

thank you!

[quick scarab]

Quick question, I'm trying to make an unlock condition for my cards where you have to discover a certain amount of a custom consumable. I checked to see if it tracks automatically, and I can just call over, and it doesn't seem like it. Do I have to create a custom one on the code? and how would I do that?

[wintry solar]

check G.DISCOVER_TALLIES

[past kelp]

Does anyone know how to make every card in a deck debuffed as a challenge deck

[sage crater]

ok, this is really nice haha. I'm glad I shifted it back

before, it wouldn't collapse correctly

[fading rivet]

How could I modify the amount of xmult an individual glass card gives?
I figured out how to change the display but it doesn't seem to change the amount given

[sage crater]

did you use take_ownership?

[fading rivet]

no I did this

[sage crater]

oic, it's in a joker

[daring fern]

card.ability.Xmult = number; card.ability.x_mult = number

[fading rivet]

thats what im doing

[daring fern]

You should be checking if context.other_card.config.center.key == 'm_glass', because if the card had glass as a quantum enhancement you wouldn't be able to change the xmult

[fading rivet]

so do that instead of has enhnacement?

ah

that still doens't explain why its not working for normal glass cards though

it gave x2 instead of the x3 it shoudl've given

[sage crater]

code?

[fading rivet]

its right above

[fading rivet]

.

it displays properly but is only giving x2

[sage crater]

did you edit this code since learning you need to use the context somethingcom pointed out?

[fading rivet]

not yet, but that wouldn't make a difference for why it isn't workign

since this is a regular glass card

the conditional is triggering to increase the stats

but the stats don't seem to be actually increasing

display visually showing as such

[wintry solar]

glass cards have two different xmult values

[sage crater]

I'm not seeing any returns in this calculate function

oh, you're using scale_card. I see

that seems like not the best option

[fading rivet]

oh whats the other one

[fading rivet]

theres nothing to return

[wintry solar]

card.ability.x_mult and card.ability.Xmult

[fading rivet]

is x_mult the calculated and Xmult visual?

[wintry solar]

either that or the reverse, yes

[fading rivet]

ight thx

[quick scarab]

Yes, but do I gonna have to go and make a whole new G.DISCOVER_TALLIES and patch it or is it automatic

[wintry solar]

it's automatic

[quick scarab]

ok so I just make a var or something

[fading rivet]

yay that fixed it

thx

[hidden aspen]

i've read this page but i didnt get it at all

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide

where should the UI code be written?

i can see that there are ways to make a table but i dont get where to send it

[past kelp]

I want to change strength's effect to lower rank of 2 cards how would I do that

[wild patrol]

probably just look how strength does it and just reverse it

[past kelp]

I cant find tarot card effects in the code

[red flower]

well in whatever function that runs when you want the UIBox to pop up
i recommend checking the mod object wiki for an example with the mod config or other mods

[wild patrol]

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

line 676

strength

[past kelp]

i can't find tarot.lua iin my actual balatro copy

[dapper sun]

?

bc there is no tarot.lua??

vanillaremade is vanilla content remade with smods functions

you're expected to reference the repo, not try and find the vanilla counterpart in the source code

[past kelp]

oh

I hoestly have been modding the source code all day

[wild patrol]

I mean

Technically you can

But smods provides more to work with

[gusty pumice]

Is there an action in a function to skip to the end of round payout after selecting a blind?

[dapper sun]

😭

[dapper sun]

end_round() will either win or lose depending on whether the blind requirements are met

[gusty pumice]

nice, how do I turn down the blind requirements to -1?

[dapper sun]

you could just set your score to the blind requirements

[gusty pumice]

either or, I just dunno how to do either lol-

[past kelp]

I am modding the mac os apple arcade version so there is nothing to help with making mods

[dapper sun]

here's a code snippet from debugplus for you

G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips
G.STATE = G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED
G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
end_round()```

[gusty pumice]

Thank you very much!

[quick scarab]

It didn't work

locked_loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { 4 } }
    end,
    check_for_unlock = function(self, args) -- equivalent to `unlock_condition = { type = 'discover_amount', tarot_count = 22 }`
        return args.type == 'discover_amount' and #G.P_CENTER_POOLS.fnaf_item <= G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.fnaf_item.tally
    end

[gusty pumice]

So I have an issue afterward because I want my joker to beat the boss blind when it's selected, but it keeps the 8 cards in my hand

[hidden aspen]

well, i see that there are ways to modify mod's credit page, but what about spawning new menus during gameplay? or at least how to set up that menu and show it when the gameplay requires it

[dapper sun]

that's what the state stuff should've fixed

[red flower]

you would call the function that creates the uibox at the appropriate moment

[dapper sun]

try putting it in an event

[red flower]

i dont have many good examples but i have this for when you press a button on a joker (the button is defined elsewhere but it has button = "joy_perform_summon")
https://github.com/nh6574/JoyousSpring/blob/16557e58b2db9315a2d767524877e380edf3c2a2/src/summon.lua#L1106

[gusty pumice]

so something like this?

calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.setting_blind and (G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss') then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips
                    G.STATE = G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED
                    G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
                    end_round()
                    SMODS.destroy_cards(card, nil, nil, true)
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end

[dapper sun]

maybe put the destroy_cards before

[wintry solar]

probably timing issue, make sure the tables exist first

[quick scarab]

tried to make a function file to see if it works but it didn't

function fnaf_set_discover_tallies()
  G.DISCOVER_TALLIES = G.DISCOVER_TALLIES or {
      fnaf_item = {tally = 0, of = 0},
    }
  for _, v in pairs(G.DISCOVER_TALLIES) do
      v.tally = 0
      v.of = 0
  end
  
  for _, v in pairs(G.P_CENTERS) do
    if not v.omit then
      if v.set and v.set == 'fnaf_item' then
        G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.fnaf_item.of = G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.fnaf_item.of+1
        if v.discovered then 
            G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.fnaf_item.tally = G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.fnaf_item.tally+1
        end
      end
    end
  end

  if check_for_unlock then check_for_unlock({type = 'discover_amount',
        fnaf_item_count = G.DISCOVER_TALLIES.fnaf_item.tally})
  end
end

[wintry solar]

you don't need to set them yourself

[gusty pumice]

still ending up with a hand during shop phase. If it helps any, the destroy_cards only destroys the joker because I want it to be a one time use

[dapper sun]

ah ok

still, i dunno

when are you calling it

wait i'm blind

i see

yea i dunno, sorry

[gusty pumice]

No worries!

[wintry solar]

change to context.hand_drawn

[quick scarab]

Ok I tried another thing but it didn't work as well

check_for_unlock = function(self, args) -- equivalent to `unlock_condition = { type = 'discover_amount', tarot_count = 22 }`
    return args.type == 'discover_amount' and #G.P_CENTER_POOLS.fnaf_item <= 4
end```

[gusty pumice]

still drew another hand

Is it possible to put a drawn hand back into the deck?

[wild patrol]

Probably

[wintry solar]

if context.hand_drawn and G.GAME.blind:get_type() == 'Boss' then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                G.GAME.chips = G.GAME.blind.chips
                G.STATE = G.STATES.HAND_PLAYED
                G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
                end_round()
                return true
            end
        }))
    end

this 100% works

[gusty pumice]

huh, wonder what I was doing wrong then

worked for me too

Thank you!!

[wild patrol]

is there away to use a trigger to increase the spawn rate of a boosterpack

[daring fern]

Yes, the get_weight function.

[quick scarab]

[fading rivet]

is there an easyish way to apply a full screen shader?

[daring fern]

Yes, SMODS.ScreenShader, but only on the dev version of SMODS

[fading rivet]

any idea as to when it'll be moved from the dev version to a regular version?

or is there another alternative

[red flower]

the alternative would be porting that system but I'll recommend waiting

it's probably in one or two weeks hopefully

[fading rivet]

oh okay that'll work then

[red flower]

you can use the dev version to work on it

[fading rivet]

where can I find it at?

do I just clone the current commit of smods instead of using releases?

[mystic river]

big green code button, yes

[fading rivet]

thx

[wild patrol]

I see how it works but how can I get it to change the weight of a specific booster pack

[fading rivet]

okay downloaded it

is there documentation somewhere for SMODS.ScreenShader

[umbral zodiac]

hi i made screenshader

the docs are unmerged atm as far as im aware

[fading rivet]

oh rip

what would I need to do to apply a shader whenever you have a specific joker then?

[umbral zodiac]

should_apply = function(self)
  return next(SMODS.find_card(key))
end,
``` in your screenshader def

[fading rivet]

shader def would be

SMODS.ScreenShader{
  key = 'menaceshader',
  atlas = 'shaders',
  should_apply ...
}

or something else?

[umbral zodiac]

not atlas?

[wild patrol]

        return SMODS.Boosters.twitch_pack_1 * self.weight
    end,```

[umbral zodiac]

for screenshader there are two ways to specify what shader it pulls from

[wild patrol]

would this be right

[umbral zodiac]

either you define the shader earlier like:

SMODS.Shader {
  key = "a",
  path = "a.fs",
}

SMODS.ScreenShader {
  key = "a",
  shader = "modprefix_a",
}

or you give it the path to the shader like:

SMODS.ScreenShader {
  key = "a",
  path = "a.fs",
}

[fading rivet]

ah thx

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.Boosters doesn't exist.

[wild patrol]

how would I do this to get the boosters weight

I see how to do overrall boosters

but not just specific booster pack

or is it just as simple as putting the key in there

[random basin]

is there a way to have ui transition into view instead of instantly spawn in an overlay?

[umbral zodiac]

this means there was an invalid file name for your shader

shaders aren't images

[fading rivet]

oh

what are they?

[umbral zodiac]

shaders are pieces of code which run on the GPU used for quickly modifying the visuals of something

[fading rivet]

fahlksdfoa8 whiekf ahuifesd

time to learn another lanaugae yay

whats the script type?

[umbral zodiac]

its GLSL* but the file extension is .fs for some reason
-# *not really, but it's very very similar

[fading rivet]

thx

[umbral zodiac]

there are plenty of guides to shaders you can find on the smods wiki

[sleek valley]

does anyone know a good way for a joker to check for multiple specific hands, including hidden ones?
the joker im tryna make rn is basically just a better Droll joker

[wild patrol]

I can't get the weight of the custom booster pack

in the get_weight function to work

is it not supported for doing a specific pack

[fading rivet]

do I need the disolve mask code if my shader isn't for cards?

[frosty rampart]

droll joker already does this. it's specifically worded as "if played hand contains a Flush", which means it works on those four hands and any modded hands that would also contain a flush

[sleek valley]

oohhhhh i did not notice that

[frosty rampart]

this is how droll joker works (card.ability.extra.type = "Flush" in the joker)

[sleek valley]

i kinda assumed that was looking for specifically just flush

but it does make my life easier

[frosty rampart]

yea no all the handtype jokers are "contains" stuff. so the pair jokers work with 5oaks and full houses and even a flush if that flush happens to also contain a pair

[umbral zodiac]

no

you must have the vertex function tho, otherwise itll crash

[sleek valley]

neat, thx :3

[wild patrol]

get_weight = function(self)
return mod.Booster.twitch_pack_1.weight * self.weight + 8
end,

probably doing this wrong but I just wanna see if i'm on the right track

[fading rivet]

thx

wiat whats that

all I see is effect

this is what I got rn and its crashing

[umbral zodiac]

like this ```
#ifdef VERTEX
vec4 position(mat4 transform_projection,vec4 vertex_position)
{
return transform_projection*vertex_position;
}
#endif

make sure you have that function at the end

[fading rivet]

ah thx

still crashed ;-;

same as before

bad argument to apply patches

wait i

wait i'm stupid

the shaders folder is in the 1x fodler

[umbral zodiac]

seems problematic 😭

put them in assets/shaders/

[fading rivet]

buh it still crashed

[wild patrol]

I can get the rates for everything but booster

[fading rivet]

#if defined(VERTEX) || __VERSION__ > 100 || defined(GL_FRAGMENT_PRECISION_HIGH)
    #define PRECISION highp

oh wait ik why

more stupids

[dapper sun]

typos

you say meance in the purple_tint vector

[fading rivet]

okay it actually read the file this time

[fading rivet]

thx

[dapper sun]

yw

[fading rivet]

okay the game runs now

I was also missinga semicolon lol

[dapper sun]

that would do it lol

[fading rivet]

[frosty rampart]

ooo are you messing around with screenshader

[fading rivet]

si

[umbral zodiac]

screenshadre 🧡

the heart is orange like one of my ears

[fading rivet]

someone in the teto server suggested making menace tint your screen purple

so we did a bit of a sidequest

[frosty rampart]

i really wanna come up with a use for screenshader in one of my mods at some point

[fading rivet]

and now I know a little of GLSL

[umbral zodiac]

its great for animations

[fading rivet]

never touching this again 🔥 ( I hope)

[frosty rampart]

hm, i've got something that could probably be flashy enough to have a subtle screenshader whenever you interact with it

[umbral zodiac]

honestly

i had an idea for something that could go aloongside screenshader

which would distort your effective mouse position to the game

but that does not feel like an smods api thing

and its not like i need it for anyhting

[peak void]

is it possible to use a joker pool with :set_ability?

[umbral zodiac]

wow is that another lily

[peak void]

as in - i want to set a joker's ability to a random rare joker, for instance

hi yeah im lily

[umbral zodiac]

you can determine the card first and then set_ability with it

let me see

[peak void]

yeah thats true. i guess what im asking is like. how do i pull a random joker from the pool

ideally one that has been discovered

or. unlocked?

[umbral zodiac]

you may have to manually find a card within the pool

[peak void]

is there like. a way to get an array that is equivalent to the cards in the pool lol

its probably in the smods documentation

[umbral zodiac]

get_current_pool(set, rarity)

in this case get_current_pool("Joker", "Rare") would work

[peak void]

oh nice

[umbral zodiac]

note that this will not be a list of all available ones

but just all ones, with ones that arent available being "UNAVAILABLE" rather than their joker key

[peak void]

alright. good to know

[frosty rampart]

so from there you'll probably have a loop that uses pseudorandom_element to get a random element from that pool, and repeating until the result isn't "UNAVAILABLE"

[umbral zodiac]

i would say that

you dont necessarily need that

[wild patrol]

I dunno what to try i've tried adding configs to booster and all that but i can't figure out how to get the weight table into the get_weight function on the custopm deck

[umbral zodiac]

you usually do that in order for parity with vanilla but if youre just picking a random rare joker outside of the shop from another joker then its fine if you do a non loop approach

[frosty rampart]

true you could just go over that table and remove all the unavailables first

[umbral zodiac]

unless i need it to be identical to vanilla shop order style i usually would remove unavailables first because frankly

[peak void]

yeah that's my approach i'll just filter unavailable elements

[umbral zodiac]

i do not feel comfortable with while loops that have no consistent runtime

[peak void]

local _pool = get_current_pool("Joker", "Rare")
local _sanitized_pool = {}
for index, value in ipairs(_pool) do
    if(_pool[index] ~= 'UNAVAILABLE') then
        _sanitized_pool[#_sanitized_pool+1] = value
    end
end
local _new_joker = pseudorandom_element(_sanitized_pool, 'frozen')
card:set_ability(_new_joker)

like this

[umbral zodiac]

looks good

[quick scarab]

bump

[wintry crater]

how would i make this have a 1/2 chance to fail like how wheel of fortune has the chance to fail? i looked at the code for wheel of fortune but i dont really understand it

[wild patrol]

I guess i'll make a skip for creating a twitch booster pack

because I can't get the get_weight to work

[peak void]

what do you have in the use function?

[red flower]

you can't if you're using the config, you would need to make a use function

[true jasper]

when i take ownership of the planet consumable type it makes 2 planet tabs in the collection and I don't know how to fix that

[gusty pumice]

whats the thingy to look at the current hand type being played? G.GAME. something I'm guessing?

[red flower]

i dont think smods can take ownership of planets
what are you trying to do

[red flower]

where

[gusty pumice]

not the if statement, trying to set a variable to the hand currently played

[red flower]

where

in what function? calculate?

[gusty pumice]

yes

[red flower]

context.scoring_name

[gusty pumice]

thank you thank you

[true jasper]

im trying to make special planets from my mod be more rare than normal planets

SMODS.ConsumableType:take_ownership("Planet", {
    rarities = {
        {
            key = "nfall_planet_common",
            rate = 0.8,
        },
        {
            key = "nfall_planet_rare",
            rate = 0.2,
        },
    },
    rarity = "nfall_planet_common",
})```

[red flower]

ah hmm

idk

smods would need to implement the vanilla consumable types for it to work i think

[frosty rampart]

a shitty workaround to do it without rarities is just to have a pseudorandom check in the special planets' in_pool function

[gusty pumice]

well, it's the other part that's getting weird now
How would I go about leveling up the final hand played if it wins a blind? I've gotten to about here

if context.press_play then
    card.ability.extra.hand_type = context.scoring_name
end
if context.after and G.GAME.chips >= G.GAME.blind.chips  then

[frosty rampart]

return { level_up_hand = card.ability.extra.hand_type }

[true jasper]

smods has this but im not sure why it still causes issues https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/151989e5f170f75057a0d707117577c366a1dd63/src/game_object.lua#L1122

[frosty rampart]

maybe needs level_up = 1 in the return table too, i'm not super familiar with the functionality

[red flower]

i see, i thought it didnt because a lot of places seem hardcoded still

its probably that

[true jasper]

💔

[frozen hamlet]

i forg

[gusty pumice]

tried something like

if context.after and G.GAME.chips >= G.GAME.blind.chips  then
    return { level_up_hand = card.ability.extra.hand_type, level_up = 1 }
    end
end

but didn't get a level at the end

                card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ x = 0, y = 1 })
                SMODS.destroy_cards({card}, nil, nil, true)

        delay(0.9375)

```l

hey so i'm trying to make to make the message have a delay before it does the rest (changing sprite, destroying, etc) but it stillchange the sprite almost near instantly, how do i fix it ?

[frosty rampart]

G.GAME.chips doesn't get updated until long after the main scoring calculation loop finishes, you should check G.GAME.chips + SMODS.calculate_round_score() >= G.GAME.blind.chips to account for that
(the calculate_round_score function, contrary to its name, only calculates the score for the current hand being played)

[gusty pumice]

och, gotcha

[gusty pumice]

Works like a charm, thanks!

[vale zinc]

Is G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND used only for drawing new cards at the beginning of a Blind, or is it for whenever cards are drawn after Play/Discard?

Looked some more through game.lua; looks like it is for generic card-drawin'.

[frosty rampart]

even happens when cards are drawn in booster packs iirc

[frozen hamlet]

how do you share the code like that? its for not share the code with a screenshot

[gusty pumice]

you do:

```lua
insert code here
```

[vale zinc]

print("Like this!")

[frozen hamlet]

    
    config = { 
        max_highlighted = 2,
        mod_conv = 'm_quemado'
    },
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        info_queue[#info_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTERS[card.ability.mod_conv]
        return { 
            vars = { 
                card.ability.max_highlighted,
                localize {

            } 
        }
    end,

[vale zinc]

What's your mod prefix, buddy?

Probably oughtta be m_<mod_prefix>_quemado instead of just m_quemado.

[pale holly]

             G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'after',
            delay = 0.0,
            func = function()
                anhilated = true
                SMODS.destroy_cards({card}, nil, nil, true)
                delay (0.3375)
            -- should be done at the same time the card start to disapear
                card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({ x = 0, y = 1 })
                SMODS.calculate_effect({message = 'message', colour = HEX('50ca96'), play_sound("mii_vsauced")}, card)
                return true
            end
        }))

Alright i'm not sure what i should do, i'm try to make so when the card disapear all the effects plays at the same time but the sound and the set sprite arrive too early how do i fix that ?

The message is the only one that is correctly timed tho

[frozen hamlet]

its key = consumeables (idk if that its right im kinda new at this)

[vale zinc]

Come again?

[pale holly]

your mod prefix is in the json file of your mod folder

"mod.json"

[frozen hamlet]

oooh

ok let me see

[pale holly]

also i tried making another G.E_Manager for it but doesn't help so i'm back to the start wit this

[frozen hamlet]

my mod prefix is cocosmod

[vale zinc]

Try m_cocosmod_quemado. And I apologize, @pale holly, that I know not how to help you.

[pale holly]

heh that's fine, but idk it's kinda infurating, normally following G.E_Manger logic, the sprite change and sound play should happen AFTER the destroy cards but it somehow does just before

i could try making another G.E_manager again

[red flower]

destroy cards has an event nested inside another event in its code

[frozen hamlet]

i tried replacing the " 'm_quemado' " with the one you send me but the error is the same as before

[red flower]

the immediate argument only gets rid of one

[pale holly]

Oh, so like it's not about my code itself but more of how SMODS destroy cards works from what i get ?

[red flower]

i haven't read the entire thing but probably

[pale holly]

i guess the only work around is making separated event manager with delays 🤔

[red flower]

i think immediate is the 3rd argument

[pale holly]

i suppose you can't even do a play_sound instead the smods destroy cards ?

[red flower]

try setting that to true

[vale zinc]

What is your error message?

[pale holly]

so SMODS.destroy_cards({card}, nil, immediate, true)?

[red flower]

no

put true instead

[pale holly]

so like this then

[red flower]

yesh

[pale holly]

i'll give it a try

[red flower]

yesh

yeah why cant i type that lol

[pale holly]

lmao

[frozen hamlet]

i send it on the #⚙・modding-support recently

[pale holly]

tbh i don't think i've seen it explained before with the vanilla remade wiki, well the destroyed cards effect but not the things after "nil", etc

[red flower]

vanillaremade is not smods documentation

if it's explained anywhere it should be there

[red flower]

seems to be outdated

[vale zinc]

Looks like that was from back when you were using m_quemado. Has the error message changed since then?

[frozen hamlet]

no. its the same problem

[pale holly]

well it's alright better, i do notice that when it's the end of the round, the destroying card effect will have a delay unlike when the shop is ending, but otherwise the rest works a bit better at least

[vale zinc]

Well, it looks like this only gives the loc_vars of the card. Could you, in this channel, show what the rest of the card's code looks like?

[frozen hamlet]

i replaced it and now the its says '}' expected (to close '{' but maybe its because now the SMODS. consumable part the "({" is now red should i add a ")}" ?

[vale zinc]

Yeah, definitely, An unclosed bracket can stop your code in its tracks.

[frozen hamlet]

oh wait now its the loc vars part because now the error says theres an unexpected simbol near the '=' in the loc vars part

[vale zinc]

Near which =? The error screen tells you which line it's on.

[frozen hamlet]

at line 883 the [SMODS cocosmod "main.lua"]:986: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 883) near 'SMODS'

i know the line part but i see the code and i dont see something in the loc vars part that is a problem

ok nevermind i just fix it thanks btw

[vale zinc]

So, it's all running smoothly?

[frozen hamlet]

kinda, now the game don't crash if i open the game an but when i use the tarot card the cards now flip but its crashes saying attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

[vale zinc]

What's on the offending line?

[frozen hamlet]

sorry whats is a offending line? do you mean on the crash or on the code?

[vale zinc]

By "offending line" I mean the line that the crash report points to.

[frozen hamlet]

ooooh

no theres not its just. card.lua:280: attempt to index local 'center' (a nil value)

[vale zinc]

So what's on line 280?

[frozen hamlet]

its the code for another joker that is just "end," but i dont think that is related to the problem because its already a finished and working joker

[vale zinc]

Maybe it's some bracket that wasn't properly closed. But since I don't know the full contents of the file, I don't know exactly what's gone awry.

And does this line 280 come before or after El Piromano's code?

[normal crest]

card.lua should be the vanilla file

[frozen hamlet]

before its actually a code thats its closed with brackets and with the ends so idk why that would be a related problem.

[vale zinc]

Try going over every bracket in El Piromano's code and see if any of them turn red. And just to be on the safe side, check the brackets of the Joker whose code's above it.

[frozen hamlet]

i saw the brackets in the piromano code and all of them and the jokers above are the yellow or blue or purple as usual ,no reds

[normal crest]

Could you send the code for your enhancement

[frozen hamlet]

yeah sure let me send it

[frozen hamlet]

SMODS.Atlas{
    key = 'enchanters',
    path = 'quemado.png',
    px = 71,
    py = 96,
}

SMODS.Enhancement {
    key = 'quemado',
    atlas = 'enchanters',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },

    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Carta quemada',
        text = {
            "se que hace pero me da lata poner la descripcion"
        }
    },

    config = { mult = 4 },

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

i was just trying to just give +4 mult for then make the rest for the code

[normal crest]

hmm, when you hover over your consumable, does it properly show the description of the enhancement

[frozen hamlet]

its just shows that nothing on the left or right

[peak void]

is there a context for when a probability event occurs

i cant find one in the documentation

[normal crest]

I think your mod prefix is wrong in the code, can you double check your json file

[vale zinc]

I settled for putting in a patch directly after SMODS.post_prob[#SMODS.post_prob+1] = {pseudorandom_result = true, result = result, trigger_obj = trigger_obj, numerator = numerator, denominator = denominator, identifier = identifier or seed}:

if result then
    --
end

[normal crest]

Isn't it context.pseudorandom_result then

[vale zinc]

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = '=[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]'
pattern = 'SMODS.post_prob[#SMODS.post_prob+1] = {pseudorandom_result = true, result = result, trigger_obj = trigger_obj, numerator = numerator, denominator = denominator, identifier = identifier or seed}'
position = 'after'
match_indent = true
payload = '''

if result then
    --
end

'''

[frozen hamlet]

i double check the json file and its say in the json file and the mod prefix its still cocosmod

[vale zinc]

Couldn't find that in state_events.lua.

[frozen hamlet]

should i put that also in the main.lua?

[normal crest]

Does your json file have "prefix": "cocosmod"

[peak void]

i can't make something occur in this, this is just for setting probabilities

[frozen hamlet]

yes

[normal crest]

That description is wrong then, that's the context for it

[peak void]

ah

alright

[gloomy swallow]

legendaries of the 2,3,4oak jokers

[normal crest]

You don't have a steammodded header right, and can you send the json file

[frozen hamlet]

{
     "id":"cocosmod",
     "name":"cocosmod",
     "display_name":"cocosmod",
     "author" : [
      "Coquetenges"
     ],

}

[frozen hamlet]

is that the page for the install of another mods? because if it that the case is not i dont have it

[normal crest]

i can't tell what's wrong tbh
But m_cocosmod_quemado is somehow not the right key

[frozen hamlet]

oh

thanks btw

[normal crest]

A steammodded header is an outdated feature that you shouldn't use, it is some commented text at the top of lua files

If you have that remove it, otherwise try making sure you're looking at the right mod folder for the json

If it's there you should see the words "STEAMODDED HEADER" at the top of one of your lua files

[normal crest]

Wait, how many lua files do you have in your mod

[frozen hamlet]

idk if this is bad but all the code of the mod is in one file and that in the main.lua but i tried putting the code of the jokers and the consumeables and etc in diferent places but the game just dont read the others just the main.lua

[rapid stag]

bump

[normal crest]

you'd have to load the other files yourself within the main file, but it's fine for now, you can experiment with that once we find out what the issue is

[normal crest]

Do you see your enhancement in the collection

And do you have the debugplus mod installed

[frozen hamlet]

i do both

its only crashes when i use the consumeable

[normal crest]

Okay can you go into collection for your enhancement, put your mouse over it, open debugplus console and type eval dp.hovered.config.center_key

And see what the output is

[frozen hamlet]

its say m_cocosmod_quemado

[normal crest]

oh wait I'm dumb

Can you just start a new run completely

not loading save file

[frozen hamlet]

its say the same thing with a new run

[normal crest]

Does the consumable still not have the description of the enhancement to the side when hovered?

Did you forget to save the main lua file

[frozen hamlet]

yes theres only the text below

[frozen hamlet]

nope but i will double check

[normal crest]

Check that you're editing the right file too

[frozen hamlet]

yeah its still the same and im editing in the main.lua

[normal crest]

But like, 100% sure it's the main.lua in your Balatro mods folder

you're not editing a copy that's somewhere else or anything like that

[frozen hamlet]

oooooh

[peak void]

hey, question, is there a way to safely debuff and un-debuff a joker without worrying about un-debuffing perishables or during crimson heart?

[frozen hamlet]

yeah i use a example mod that only have 1 joker and i editing putting a lot of stuff that the reason?

should i make copy and paste my code into a folder with nothing in it? and start from zero with the folders?

[normal crest]

I believeee there's a mod function for handling debuff, should be on the wiki iirc

[peak void]

ah, thank you

[normal crest]

Just make sure you're editing Balatro/Mods/your mod name/main.lua

And not any other file

[frozen hamlet]

oh yeah im pretty sure im editing on the main.lua

[normal crest]

Arghh okay

Go ingame and hover over your consumable and do eval dp.hovered.ability.mod_conv

[frozen hamlet]

its says m_cocosmod_quemado

[normal crest]

I am actually gonna go insane, everything points to it working but it doesn't

[normal crest]

Make sure that in your mods folder there is only your mod and debugplus, nothing else

For now if you have any other mods try either disabling them or moving them from the folder

To a different one

[frozen hamlet]

i have anothers mod and i disabled it i do the same thing with the debug?

[normal crest]

Keep debugplus enabled

Your only mods in the balatro mod menu should be your mod and debugplus enabled, if there is any other it should be disabled

[frozen hamlet]

i already did it now what

[normal crest]

Check again that your enhancement appears in collection, that the center_key is correct and same with the consumable ingame with mod_conv

Using the debugplus console like before

[frozen hamlet]

now with the enhancement appears the messege "nil"

i will try now with the consumeable

the consumeables appears the m_cocosmod_quemado

[normal crest]

that's not right, were u hovering the right card and typed the command properly?

[frozen hamlet]

yeah i did it i doubled check even and its still says nil

[normal crest]

no but that makes no sense, your enhancement is there in the collection right and you're running eval dp.hovered.config.center_key

While your mouse is on top of your enhancement

[normal crest]

That's not the right command

For the enhancement it's the other one I sent

[frozen hamlet]

oooooooh

my bad

[frozen hamlet]

now its says m_cocosmod_quemado

[normal crest]

can you send the full current code for your consumable

last thing

either I figure out what's wrong here or I give up and I accept defeat

[frozen hamlet]

ok

does eval G.P_CENTERS.m_cocosmod_quemado say anything that's not nil

[frozen hamlet]

yeah its says a lot but no nil

you want me to screenshot it or something?

[normal crest]

no it's fine

Everything seems to be correct yet nothing seems to work

I'm just gonna assume you're cursed and wish you luck

🙏

[frozen hamlet]

goddamn

thanks btw

[daring fern]

[red flower]

you are restarting the run to test, right

[normal crest]

I love Spanish speaking people talking to each other in English

[cloud thistle]

I want to make a mod that does the following:
At the end of every blind, create a random negative eternal Cryptid joker (and you cant skip blinds) and i want the shop to just be the vanilla shop, so nothing from Cryptid.

[blazing helm]

is there any recorces on how to make a config for a mod? i dont see it anywhere on the smod wiki :/

[blazing helm]

you might be able to make a patch to filter the shop pool? also hi yeet lol

[subtle hawk]

What do discover and bypass_discovery_center parameters for SMODS.create_card actually do?
Because whatever I do with them created card DOES get discovered

At this point it feels like I should just do the Card thing instead of trying to use these

[hushed field]

It's not a great example due it being specific to keybind features, but this example mod is pretty small and shows how a config is set up
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/tree/master/Mods/KeyboardController

A more practical example is maybe this one. It's my small config (it has 3 options) for Blockbuster: Value Manipulation. https://github.com/icyethics/Blockbuster-ValueManipulation/blob/main/src/config_menu.lua

The config.lua file defines the parameters that are configurable. The config_menu.lua file turns that into a proper config page

[blazing helm]

mmmmm i see ok thx ill give them a look :3

[hushed field]

A guide would be nice, though, for sure! If I have time today, I might set up an example mod that just has some config options 🤔

Also, feel free to ping me if you still have questions. There's way more you can do for config pages than I could explain, but I'm sure I'd be able to explain the basics, if there's something unclear, haha

[blazing helm]

oki will do. ive doen next to nothing with ui and the bit i have done is buggy as fuck lmao. but my previse mod was buggy af so people didnt notice lol

[blazing helm]

that would be sick. goals like you make modding accessible.

[hushed field]

UI isn't difficult, but it's annoying and finnicky, haha. I'm still not comfortable with it. Frustration while working on UI is normal 😛

[cloud thistle]

hi turtle

[hushed field]

Have you messed around with DebugPlus? It has the ability to watch files, which allows you to reload UI immediately when you save a change. It makes it way easier to work on UI stuff!

[blazing helm]

ive used the console ya but tend not to have it on as it made my game crash often :/ ill give it a try again tho

[cloud thistle]

wait cant i autobanish every cryptid thing

because banishing is literally filtering it out from the shop

[hushed field]

Yeah, just cycle through centers and check for source mod

then just add to banned keys

[subtle hawk]

Brrrrrrr bad timing

[wintry solar]

Where are you creating the card?

[subtle hawk]

Oh does the cardarea matter? I wasn't actually emplacing it lmao

[subtle hawk]

Sooo does bypassing discovery in SMODS.create_card work for specific areas or am I misreading that

[wintry solar]

I don’t have access to my dumps right now 😭

[cloud thistle]

wait how would i go about implementing that

[hushed field]

depends on what you wanna do

[cloud thistle]

i want to banish everything from Cryptid using the DELETE code card functionality and create a random negative eternal Cryptid joker at the end of every blind

(and keep the created joker banished from the shop)

maybe the DELETE code card functionality isnt enough since i also dont want you to be able to make them via Judgement for example although i think that doesnt matter that much

[hushed field]

Ah, that's slightly more complicated. The way deleting stuff works is adding them to the banned card lists, which bans them from being pulled from random pools. So you'd need to make a separate pool. My understanding is that DELETE works like that, removing a card from all random pools

[cloud thistle]

yeah banning works too

[cloud thistle]

and i specifically want a cryptid joker to be made at the end of the round

[hushed field]

But the way you'd do it is to go over all jokers in the joker pool, or the general centers pool, depending on what you'd want to be banned. If it's the jokers pool, all of 'm will count as jokers, but if it's G.P_CENTERS, check for [var].ability.set == "Joker" and [var].original_mod.id == "cryptid" (do double check cryptid's mod ID, I don't know it by heart

[blazing helm]

how do i make a button? i wanna make a button that likes out to the twitch auth page. the code is still basicly identical to yours lol rn i have this

local create_menu_button = function (parent, config_button, callback)
    parent.nodes[#parent.nodes + 1] = create_button_binding_pip({
        label = localize(config_button.label),
        callback = callback,
        ref_table = EngagementBait.config,
        ref_value = config_button.ref_value,

    })
    -- if config_button.tooltip then
    --     parent.nodes[#parent.nodes].config.detailed_tooltip = localize(config_button.tooltip)
    -- end
end

create_button_binding_pip was the only create button func my auto complete could see but it doesnt seem to be what i want (or im seting it up wrong)
config_button:

local config_buttons = {
    {ref_value = "link_account", label = "eb_config_link_account" }, --, tooltip = "eb_config_link_account_tooltip"},
}

also whenever i add the tooltips it crashes :/

[blazing helm]

also how do one do this? got it installed but i dont see a way to set it up >.<

[hushed field]

You mean just a clickable button? Instead of a toggleable pip?

[blazing helm]

idk what a toggleable pip even is x.x but ya i want a button that can be liked that i can use to link out to a website.

[hushed field]

I haven't had to use it in a few months, but I'll refresh on how once I'm back at my PC and let you know, haha

Oooh

[blazing helm]

lol oki

[hushed field]

So, I'm not at my PC, so I can't link an example, but buttons are pretty simple. If you go to the Balatro Goes Kino repo, you can look for where I use 'Discord', as that should show you a button that does exactly that!

There are better examples, but it's the one I can give without checking an actual repo, haha

[cloud thistle]

i love when my mod crashes the game when starting a new run

[blazing helm]

that just how it be lol

so much worse is when it works for you then DJ uses it and it crashes 😭

[hushed field]

https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/main/src/kino_ui.lua#L411

I hope this helps! There's a premade function to get a button. You link its functionality by setting up a function. In this case, that's a the bottom of the file!

[hushed field]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus/blob/master/docs/dev.md#watch

Also, getting work related pings so I probably don't have the time to write out a more detailed explanation, but it's this functionality

[blazing helm]

................. one of these crashes.............................. i fucking hate this code base so much..........

the fact that it isnt consistent with the other functoins like create_slider or create_text_input or create_toggle is soooooo annoying

[hushed field]

Is there any difference between the two?

and what's the crash?

[blazing helm]

you have to put {} around the label in UIBox_button but not in the other ones

[hushed field]

Oooh, yeah, yeah

and yeah, UI specifically is hard to work with. It's made to do exactly what vanilla needs, so a lot of the other stuff is added by SMODS or needs to be made yourself. Makes working with it pretty awkward. For me, a lot of UI code is just copying pasting existing code I wrote, specifically to avoid running into issues where I use brackets where they weren't needed, etc.

Part of why there aren't really many resources on making modded UI. Most people working with it don't like doing it or are very comfortable working with it, haha

[blazing helm]

lol

is there a way to have the button not point to a global function?

local create_menu_button = function (parent, config_button, callback)
    parent.nodes[#parent.nodes + 1] = UIBox_button({
        label = {localize(config_button.label)},
        -- button = callback,
        button = "LinkAccount",
        ref_table = EngagementBait.config,
        ref_value = config_button.ref_value,

    })
    -- if config_button.tooltip then
    --     parent.nodes[#parent.nodes].config.detailed_tooltip = localize(config_button.tooltip)
    -- end
end

"linkAccount" works but callback doesnt :/

[hushed field]

I'm not sure. Is there a reason you'd want to avoid making a function for it in 'G.FUNCS'?

[blazing helm]

jsut general neatness. "EngagementBait.LinkTwitch" is more clear that is from my mod then "G.FUNCS.LinkTwitch"

[red flower]

no, you should just add the prefix to that

[hushed field]

For clarity there, you can still add your mod's key in your functions name

[blazing helm]

ya ik. if ya cant ill just use globals, just wanted to ask if you can use non globals

[dapper sun]

anyone know how to fix this?

[daring fern]

That means you're returning something in context.repetition or context.retrigger_joker_check without repetitions or repetitions is less than or equal to 0.

[dapper sun]

weird

bc it's a blueprint-style joker not a retrigger one

[daring fern]

Are you returning outside of a context check?

[dapper sun]

no

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    -- Start Retriggering
    if context.before then
        local hasAce = false
        local has4 = false
        for _, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
            has4 = has4 or v:get_id() == 4
            hasAce = hasAce or v:get_id() == 14
        end
        
        if has4 and hasAce then

        return ret
    end
end```

[daring fern]

No, you are.

[dapper sun]

oh 😭

[red flower]

yeah i was gonna say merge effects adds .extra

so it will always count as returning something

[dapper sun]

a

[red flower]

you should check if the joker returns anything before merging

[dapper sun]

oh i also noticed smtn

ret isn't being made as a local var

[daring fern]

No, it's because you're setting ret to {} by default.

[dapper sun]

oh

wait i think i see my mistake

[shell timber]

yeah do like if not retl and not retr then return nil end

[dapper sun]

it only happens if it does retrigger tho

wait

i get it yea

ty

it works now

nope

now it's not retriggering

[dapper sun]

^

[hidden aspen]

does anyone have an idea why would the tooltip go away after 1 frame?

i am trying to assign a tooltip to a button

[dapper sun]

...i just replaced my whole retrigger code with this

local ret = {}
ret[#ret+1] = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[card_pos-1], context)
ret[#ret+1] = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[card_pos+1], context)
return SMODS.merge_effects(ret)```

[red flower]

if the first card doesn't return then it won't do anything

wait no

hmm

[cloud thistle]

why doesnt this code work (with help from chatgpt because i dont want to learn lua):

local cryptid_mod_id = "Cryptid"

local function is_from_cryptid(center)
    return center 
       and center.mod 
       and center.mod.id == cryptid_mod_id

    local pool = original_get_current_pool(_type, rarity, legendary, key_append)
    local filtered = {}

    for _, center in ipairs(pool) do
        if is_from_cryptid(center) then
            table.insert(filtered, center)

    if #Cryptid_jokers == 0 then return nil end
    return pseudorandom_element(Cryptid_jokers)

    create_negative_eternal_cryptid()

[hushed field]

I'm all for helping, but I'm sorry, don't think I'll commit time to helping someone fix code that was made by chatgpt because they don't wanna learn lua

[vale zinc]

If you really wanna become more than a modding novice, you're gonna have to learn Lua.

[cloud thistle]

i think its more that i dont know how the create_card function works exactly (i do have the balatro source code but its very unreadable code)

[blazing helm]

is there a way to refersh the cofig ui to update the text from withing the gloable func?

[red flower]

make the text take ref_table and ref_value

[blazing helm]

thx

[vale zinc]

Hear of VanillaRemade? It's the vanilla code adapted into Steamodded, create_card() is in there somewhere if memory serves.

[cloud thistle]

i do see a strange thing that the create_card() call here does not only pick from the Cryptid pool

[vale zinc]

Also, this might help.
https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

[red flower]

not the vanilla one

[red flower]

pool is a list of keys

[cloud thistle]

i am aware

[red flower]

then why do you think that's strange

[cloud thistle]

But the code makes a list of keys for Cryptid jokers but i dont think the code chooses from that pool

[red flower]

keys are strings

the cryptid function works on centers

[cloud thistle]

Wait so how do i create a random card from the list of centers (one of the previous versions of my code did use centers)

[red flower]

what's the goal here

[mystic river]

use SMODS.create_card instead
it's just a wrapper for the vanilla one, but it makes it much more comprehensible

[split creek]

There's something about this joker that is causing the following crash, and I'm not sure what it is

--Ajani
SMODS.Joker { 
    object_type = "Joker",
    name = "mtg-ajani",
    key = "ajani",
    pos = { x = 0, y = 7 },
    config = { 
    extra = {
      planeswalker = {
        has_activated_loyalty = true,
        loyalty = 3,
        loyalty_abilities = {
          {
            cost=1,
            use=function(self, card)
              print("activate!!!")
            end
          },{
            cost=-3,
            use=function(self, card)
              print("activate!!!!!")
            end
          }
        },
      },
    },
    
  },
  order = 5,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 8,
    atlas = "mtg_atlas",
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return { vars = { center.ability.extra.planeswalker.loyalty } }
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.setting_blind and not (context.blueprint_card or card).getting_sliced then
      card.ability.extra.planeswalker.has_activated_loyalty = false
    end
  end
}```

In the middle of the blind this crash will occur, even if the player isn't doing anything

[red flower]

loyalty abilities has a function in it

balatro doesn't like functions in cards

[split creek]

Is there a way that I can have a function associated with a card?

I'm calling the function externally

G.FUNCS.use_loyalty = function(e)
    local card = e.config.ref_table
    local loyalty_ability = card:get_loyalty_ability(e.config.index)
    card.ability.extra.planeswalker.loyalty = card.ability.extra.planeswalker.loyalty + loyalty_ability["cost"]
    card.ability.extra.planeswalker.has_activated_loyalty = true
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = "after",
        delay = 0.1,
        func = function()
            loyalty_ability["use"](card)
            return true
        end,
    }))
    G.jokers:unhighlight_all()
    if card.ability.extra.planeswalker.loyalty <= 0 then
        card:start_dissolve(nil, true)
    end
end```

[red flower]

if it's exclusive to that card save it to the center (with a unique name including your mod prefix) and then do card.config.center.modpefix_function()

if it can be shared save it to a global table like MTJ.function and then save the name to the card

save it to the center means have it at the same level as calculate

[split creek]

got it

How is it accessed from the card if it is saved to the center?

[red flower]

card.config.center.function_name()

or self.function_name() in the card's functions

[cloud thistle]

This is the goal

[red flower]

ah idk how delete works but you can just add stuff to G.GAME.banned_keys

[cloud thistle]

That makes sense

[granite raptor]

if i call SMODS.create_card and use the stickers field, will it only generate cards compatible with said stickers? i.e. if i do SMODS.create_card({set = "Joker", key_append = "modid_append", stickers = ["eternal"]}), would it automatically filter out cards like gros michel, etc?

[wintry solar]

iirc it will just not apply eternal to cards that aren’t compatible

[normal crest]

i went to check and it's not adding eternal regardless to any joker, probably cus should_apply is false always

[split creek]

Is there a way to change color in description text from loc_vars?

[red flower]

{V:

check smods text formatting wiki

[rapid stag]

bump

[normal crest]

the game calls check_for_unlock within set_ability if the card is in the jokers or consumables area

oh wait I get what you mean

[rapid stag]

but it's actively not unlocking despite that

[normal crest]

still, the game calls discover_card in Card:added_to_deck

[rapid stag]

well i have a consumable that runs set_ability on a joker and the result doesn't get unlocked in collections, so something's wrong

[normal crest]

just tested it and it seems to work for me

could you send the code you're testing with?

[split creek]

This is causing strange behavior when I have multiples of the same joker (spawned with debugplus), any idea what might be causing it?

local updateref = Card.update
function Card:update(dt)
      updateref(self, dt)

      if G.STAGE == G.STAGES.RUN then
        if not self:is_planeswalker() then return end
        local can_activate  = self:can_activate_any_loyalty_ability()

        if can_activate and not self.config.center.planeswalker.jiggle then
            local eval = function(card) return card:can_activate_any_loyalty_ability() end
            juice_card_until(self, eval, true)

            self.config.center.planeswalker.jiggle = true
        end

        if (not can_activate) and self.config.center.planeswalker.jiggle then
            self.config.center.planeswalker.jiggle = false
        end
    end
end

[faint yacht]

You're applying it to the "prototype" object.

Did you mean something akin to self.ability.planeswalker.jiggle?

[wild patrol]

what's the G.P_CENTERS. equivalent of custom stuff like G.P_CENTERS.p_standard_mega_1 how would I point it to a custom booster

[wintry crater]

how can i make it so youre unable to sell something until you have ten dollars?

[daring fern]

Hook Card:can_sell_card

[wild patrol]

discovered = true,```

does't seem to work in tags

custom tag is still locked

nvm I found the issue I had a tag with same key from testing stuff lol

[tulip pecan]

would you add a condition at the beginning of the function that just checks for a specific condition and returns true to allow selling?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wild patrol]

I figured out everything on tags but how their text is displayed

I tried the local_text but doesn't seem to work

[near coral]

For context some jokers of mine are to only trigger when the poker hand is a combination of other poker hands (two pair, full house, straight flush, etc.) however my coder made it to where if it contains those hands it triggers, making them triggerable in flushes with 2 pairs and is having a hard time setting it to what's intended

Is there some lines of code I can send them that can help with that

[wild patrol]

yea it works

[red flower]

so you want to replace "contains" for "is"?

[quick scarab]

anyone knows how to tally discovered custom consumables?, I trying to make a unlock condition but it seems to keep crashing

Cutting-edge technology I'm working on

[lyric wadi]

how do you modify a playing card's base chips

like not adding or subtracting permanent bonus chips like hiker

but like actually modifying their base chips

[daring fern]

card.base.nominal

[lyric wadi]

or like is it so tied to its rank that modifying it isnt worth

oh ok

[errant arrow]

i genuinely can't tell if im stupid or not.
can someone explain how the ipairs stuff works in crayon eating terms? i'm still so lost on how to detect certain variables (in this case, joker(s))

[slim ferry]

What is "the ipairs stuff"

just like

ipairs loops?

[errant arrow]

the joker im trying to create wants to detect certain jokers in order to scale and do a hidden effect once both jokers are obtained
i keep being told to do ipairs and if statements, but i'm so lost.

[fading rivet]

use SMODS.find_card

like

[slim ferry]

find_card

Not joker

next(SMODS.find_card("joker key"))

[fading rivet]

calculate = function(self, carry, context)
  if context.main_joker and not context.blueprint then
    if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modid_jokerkey")) then
      --- scale
    end
  end
end

[hidden aspen]

🔥

[errant arrow]

would SMODS.find_card work in the loc_vars section?

i see.
-# i think...

[vale zinc]

How may I pass an SMODS.calculate_context() call as a boolean value? Outside of The Tuba, the Discard button is grayed out after each Hand played, and while playing The Tuba, the Discard button remains enabled no matter what.

[fading rivet]

ipairs takes a table as an input
it then starts at index 1 and checks if it's value is not nil
then index 2, and 3, and so on until its nil
itll then give something rhat you can iterate through in a loop

for index, value in ipairs({"a", "b", "c", not_accessed = true}) do
  print("index: " .. index .. ", value: " .. value)
end

> index: 1, value: a
> index: 2, value: b
> index: 3, value: c

[errant arrow]

so, for confirmation (and to see if im being stupid or not...)

        loc_vars = function(self,local_queue,card)
            return {vars = card.ability.extra.mult,card.ability.extra.scaling}
            if SMODS.find_card("TBC_jokerhere) or SMODS.find_card then
            (insert rest of code)
        end,

[fading rivet]

return will cut the function short

[errant arrow]

so return would have to be later in the code? or do i have to cut it out?

-# also, how are you guys getting color in your text?

[fading rivet]

and pass the result of SMODS.find_card into next()

[fading rivet]

```lua
lua code
```

[fading rivet]

it should be the very last thing

[errant arrow]

ah, for confirmation:

  loc_vars = function(self,local_queue,card)
    if SMODS.find_card("TBC_jokerhere") or SMODS.find_card("TBC_jokerhere2") then
      (insert code)
  next()
  (return code)

?

ignore my horrible tabbing im on phone

@errant arrow

[red flower]

the reason next is used is because find_card always returns a table even if empty and in lua empty tables are truthy
next returns the next value in a table or nil which is considered false

[red flower]

i dont think you can, you can pass a table to it as a second argument iirc and the returns will be there

[vale zinc]

The returns will be where?

[errant arrow]

I see, thank you!

[vale zinc]

Or may I simply add a LAPSEMS.block_discard_button() function call instead of a return true?

[red flower]

local effects = {}
SMODS.calculate_context(context, effects)
effects.jokers or something will have the returns iirc

i dont bother with any of that and just make my jokers set a global variable

its not like i care about other mods using my contexts

[vale zinc]

I think I'm just gon' go with a LAPSEMS.block_discard_button() call.

[slim ferry]

You can also assign the result of the function to something

smods does this itself

[vale zinc]

Well, I meant to assign the result to true or false/nil, but that didn't work for me.

[slim ferry]

useful if you only need boolean flags

[slim ferry]

Thats not

Not what i mean

Nor does that sentence make sense

[red flower]

dont you need to add it to the return tables for that

[slim ferry]

Huh

Wdym

[red flower]

these

[slim ferry]

Uh not sure

[normal crest]

based on code I wrote 17 years ago, effects would just be an array of stuff that might be tables or not

[vale zinc]

I'm afraid I don't follow either.

I thought I could just patch in an SMODS.calculate_context() statement and assign the result to a boolean value.

[vale zinc]

I was previously adding one patch per Boss Blind, and that worked A-OK.

[tulip pecan]

Is this the correct way to hook this function? We're trying to make it so that selling consumables with negative sell value don't let you go under the minimum amount of money but it’s not working

[red flower]

just use a global variable

[frosty rampart]

N recommending bad practices 🥀 never thought i'd see the day /silly

[slim ferry]

Or just dont calculate a context

And do the checks in a hook

[vale zinc]

What'd that look like?

[slim ferry]

Im on mobile

[red flower]

:3

[slim ferry]

But like just check if the given boss is active

And loop over G.hand.highlighted to check the cards

And see if its valid to discard

And if not then you e.config.colour = G.C.UI.INACTIVE; e.config.button = nil

Or whatever i forgot what the colour is called

Just look at the original function

[frosty rampart]

in all seriousness it's a fair enough implementation if you don't expect others to interact with the context, especially since you put the globals in a table for the mod. just feels a little bit evil lol

[red flower]

yeah

[vale zinc]

[I've done just that before](#💻・modding-dev message), but I wanted something more modular.

Surely, if I've already implemented SMODS.calculate_context({LAPSEMS_before_jokers_score = true}), then this should be a piece of cake.

[red flower]

calculate context is not designed to return a boolean

and you probably shouldnt mess with it to do so

true as a return is basically reserved for destruction so for example merge_effects will fail

[vale zinc]

Is it capable of returning anything?

[red flower]

it is designed to return things in a table

[vale zinc]

Could I check, then, if #<return_value> > 0?

[red flower]

no but you can probably do next(table)

but anyway i dont know if the returns will actually be passed

because smods looks for specific keys

i think return_table does get all the returns

but i might be wrong i cant test rn

[quick scarab]

bump

[faint yacht]

I do custom context calls for https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/c7bb50413c13aea4581341b2e85f340a01991991/togastuff.lua#L700-L759

[normal crest]

so return_table ends up being an array of 112 tables, 111 of which are empty, and one of them look like this

that's with j_joker only in joker_main

[red flower]

lol

[hardy vessel]

Trying to make a blind that needs to be one-shot in order to beat. I believe the effect is working, just the text isn't being updated. Am I missing something to make the score show 0?

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
    if not blind.disabled then
        if context.after then
            if not SMODS.last_hand_oneshot then
                G.GAME.chips = 0
            end
        end
    end
end,

[faint yacht]

I believe I had something like that as a Joker before.

[red flower]

ah G.GAME.chips updates after the context is ran

so you would need to use events i think

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/TheOneGoofAli/TOGAPackBalatro/blob/abee2ee63fe3a3e6df37791c38f072b5bd8e3c6e/items/joker.lua#L1657-L1676

-# If that helps any.

[hardy vessel]

I'll take a look, thank you!

[vale zinc]

local cards_discovered = 0
local your_consumable_name_here
for _, card in pairs(G.P_CENTER_POOLS[your_consumable_name_here]) do
    if card.discovered then
        cards_discovered = cards_discovered + 1
    end
end
print(cards_discovered)

[quick scarab]

put this on a separate function or straight to the joker?

[vale zinc]

Dunno. That's just a way to know how many cards out of G.P_CENTER_POOLS[your_consumable_name_here] have been discovered.

[quick scarab]

ok thank you

[cloud thistle]

wait so i implemented this idea but it sometimes creates vanilla jokers and sometimes doesnt apply eternal

but always negative

i did:

card:set_edition({negative = true}, true)
card:set_eternal(true)
card:add_to_deck()
G.jokers:emplace(card)```

[wintry solar]

You should be able to do this in an existing context depending on what you mean by after playing cards

[vale zinc]

Between cards scored/held and Jokers scoring. And it already works perfectly, I was only demonstrating that I already know the basics of adding custom contexts.

[wintry solar]

Oh I misinterpreted your message

[past ridge]

yall im new to modding do you delete the zip file after extracting

[slim ferry]

The delete button in file explorer

The trash can looking one

While you have the zip selected

[past ridge]

no do you or do you not

[slim ferry]

Oh

I

[past ridge]

so yes

[slim ferry]

I cant read

But yeah delete it

[past ridge]

oh lol ur fine

[dapper sun]

how do i get a card's position?

[slim ferry]

like in the cardarea?

[dapper sun]

no

on screen

[slim ferry]

card.T.x and card.T.y iirc

But its in balatro units which are insanely janky so if youre doing math with them be prepared

[dapper sun]

the problem is that's not in pixels

yea

i'm trying to make a soul sprite with different dimensions to the card it's on, but i'm having trouble with fixing its rotation pivot
