we were both trying to figure it out at the same time

[viscid talon]

how do i make it gain mult in the correct area

joker_main isnt working

[umbral zodiac]

hi i am lily

[viscid talon]

instead it gains mult on the cards

not the actual joker

[dapper sun]

hi lily

[viscid talon]

which is rly confusing

[umbral zodiac]

have some aqu code

--returns a movable's pixel position (center)
function aquill.get_movable_pixel_pos(mov)
    return {
        (G.ROOM.T.x + mov.VT.x + mov.VT.w * 0.5) * (G.TILESIZE * G.TILESCALE),
        (G.ROOM.T.y + mov.VT.y + mov.VT.h * 0.5) * (G.TILESIZE * G.TILESCALE),
    }
end

[dapper sun]

ty

[umbral zodiac]

this particularly works for cards but it should technically work for any movable element, though im unsure since ive never had to test it

[thorny wigeon]

Hey I don't wanna jump in mid conversation but I wanted to just say that I've been trying to make a mod all day and I've finally gotten to a point where all the art is finished.
I've followed multiple tutorials, copied multiple mods and tried to copy what they do, but mine doesn't work. The mod loader sees it and it's in the mod list with my custom icon, but the deck doesn't work. Originally I was trying to make it work like the Collabs so I just changed the face cards, but I ended up replacing the entire deck. I don't get any errors, the textures just don't load and going into "Customize deck" doesn't have any new options.

If I don't reply to anyone its because I need to dip for a bit :)

[dapper sun]

that format's old af

[thorny wigeon]

Darn

I've tried to go through the mods I have that are working but idk how to read any of them

[dapper sun]

i'm still kinda stumped on how to adjust the rotation pivot point for a sprite, as i've tried changing all sorts of vars but can't find it

(the dot in the sprite is where it's pivoting from instead)

Those anyone know who the person behind Luna Enchantment mod? I saw once looking for it again and can't find it

[hardy vessel]

Question about context.press_play, is there a way to get scoring cards from it? Because context.scoring_hand returns nil

[vale zinc]

In G.FUNCS.can_discard = function(e), just what is passed as the argument e?

[frosty rampart]

not super easily; the full hand is G.hand.highlighted because it hasn't been drawn to G.play yet, so you have to take that full hand and manually calculate what the scoring hand would be and which cards make up that hand

[slim ferry]

The discard button ui element

[vale zinc]

You mean this?

local discard_button = {n=G.UIT.C, config={id = 'discard_button',align = "tm", padding = 0.3, r = 0.1, minw = 2.5, minh = button_height, hover = true, colour = G.C.RED, button = "discard_cards_from_highlighted", one_press = true, shadow = true, func = 'can_discard'}, nodes={
    {n=G.UIT.R, config={align = "cm", padding = 0}, nodes={
        {n=G.UIT.T, config={text = localize('b_discard'), scale = text_scale, colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, focus_args = {button = 'y', orientation = 'bm'}, func = 'set_button_pip'}}
    }}
}}

[slim ferry]

yes

taht

[vale zinc]

That discard_button, is that a global variable that I can call up in any old function call?

[frosty rampart]

the little local right next to it seems to indicate no

[vale zinc]

How do I make it call-able in any circumstance?

[frosty rampart]

i think it gets saved as part of G.buttons or something, but i dunno the exact details off the top of my head

[dapper sun]

bump

[vale zinc]

What might I do with this, then? I want to make a function that grays out a given button, which takes that button as its sole argument.

Do I just pass G.buttons.definition.nodes[3]?

[frosty rampart]

i'm curious, what's the use case for being able to arbitrarily disable any button at all? i feel like unless you genuinely need to do it for a bunch of different buttons, it might be better to just hook/patch into whatever determines the state of the button(s) you need to modify

[vale zinc]

[I tried that](#💻・modding-dev message). It didn't work.

[tulip pecan]

Nvm we figured it out

[frosty rampart]

in the patch:

local calc_returns = {}
local disable = false
SMODS.calculate_context({
  LAPSEMS_should_the_discard_button_be_blocked = true,
  full_hand = G.hand.highlighted
}, calc_returns)
for _, v in pairs(calc_returns) do
  for _, w in pairs(v) do
    if w.disable then
      disable = true
      break
    end
  end
  if disable then break end
end
if disable then
  if (G.GAME.current_round.hands_left >...

in the calculate function, replace return true with return { disable = true }, and just remove the return false entirely

[viscid talon]

yo sophie is bad asf

[vale zinc]

Just what is calc_returns populated with?

[frosty rampart]

by passing it to the calculate_context function call, it gets populated with all the return tables from all the objects that calculate in-game

i can confirm that this works because i have the exact same setup in my own mod for my own custom contexts

[vale zinc]

What things do you use it for?

[dapper sun]

[frosty rampart]

for my custom dice consumables, i have a context for modifying the value of a roll (much like how modifying a probability works in smods), a context for triggering rerolls of the dice, a context for modifying what a die's min and max values are (so e.g. i have a voucher that guarantees all dice roll in the upper half of their usual range, by setting the min to the die's max / 2), and a simple "post_roll" context that triggers after the die finishes rolling and goes back to the consumables slot

[thorny wigeon]

How do you add new collabs so I can reskin all the collabs to have a colour for each suit?

[frosty rampart]

it's called a DeckSkin internally, here's the documentation. you'd make your own mod and add all the recolors using this object
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

[fading rivet]

how could I get the number of chips a card scores before any extra effects, and permanently modify it if possible

[sleek valley]

im trying to make jokers that apply probabilities to every card in the played hand but it's not exactly how i want it

for k, scored_card in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
  if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'prefix_joker', 1, card.ability.extra.burn_odds) then
    --effect in here
  end
end

if i put the for loop inside the pseudorandom_probability, then the game does one roll for all the card, but as it is right now, it rolls for every card but only applies to one, when i want it to roll for all and apply individually

so if two cards in the same hand land a 1 in 5, i want them both getting it, but rn only one does

[slim ferry]

Are you returning during the loop?

[sleek valley]

yeah, inside the pseudorandom_probability

should i not be?

[slim ferry]

returning ends the function

So yeah you shouldnt

[sleek valley]

ah
well now i feel dumb for not catching that sooner lol

[slim ferry]

You could do SMODS.calculate_effect instead

If rhat works for whatever youre doing

[sleek valley]

lemme test just setting the return outside the loop first, then we'll see

it works

[fading rivet]

nvm i got somethign else working

[sleek valley]

but now the message that's only supposed to pop up whenever the card triggers pops all the time

[dapper sun]

i've tried changing every value i could find

i'm losing my mind

just asked her and it turns out she'd given up

[primal robin]

I mean theres no variables to adjust rotation point

[dapper sun]

exactly

that's why i'm going insane

idk how to change it

[primal robin]

Draw function do calcs how to translate and rotate itself

[dapper sun]

i'm already doing draw functinon stuff

the tilting and shit is shader stuff

i can't touch it

there's no way to with normal shader stuff

the offset shit doesn't even seem to work

[primal robin]

Now i see, dot placed in a center of soul sprite of regular size

[dapper sun]

yea

it's rotating around that instead of the actual center

[primal robin]

How did you do a sprite this big size

[dapper sun]

https://github.com/ellestuff/slimeutils/blob/main/lua/soul.lua

[primal robin]

What a convoluted way to do that

[dapper sun]

because there's no easy way to do it

[primal robin]

Isnt should be easier just override set_sptites function and create floating sprite of correct size

[dapper sun]

i've set the atlas

are you suggesting i set the floating_sprite to a new Sprite

[primal robin]

I mean, yes, since you need adjust actual sprite sizes

Theyre set on creation

[dapper sun]

well,,

the dot is centred

and it's not doing the tilt stuff either

since it's a new sprite

so this is even further from what i want

😭

I'm trying to create a Joker that has a chance of making Jokers in the shop and booster packs Negative. The booster pack part seems to work, but the part for the shop only seems to work on the initial Jokers in the shop. Any Jokers after that (like from rerolls) aren't affected

[versed swan]

lovely question: What's the difference between dump and game-dump?

[sturdy compass]

Just a guess, but I'd imagine game-dump is the vanilla game files pre-patches being applied

[versed swan]

oh wait i should have checked if one or the other has been depreciated, i didn't clear my lovely dir before updating to 0.9

[sturdy compass]

ah I see

I still haven't updated so

[versed swan]

nope, both generate

compared card.lua in both, identical

[sturdy compass]

wonky

[frosty rampart]

i've never seen the game-dump folder tbh, it's not a lovely thing

[frosty rampart]

do you have frost's utils mod installed? i have a hunch it's something that i previously suggested gets added to it, but i haven't updated it in a while lol

[versed swan]

Installed but disabled

[frosty rampart]

hm i see
does it stop generating game-dump if you move it out of the mods folder?

[tepid crow]

It's a lovely thing. That directory name is in the rust source code too

[umbral zodiac]

i dont have frosts utils and i have game dump folder

[red flower]

game dump is supposedly the dump without patches

but i think its not working

[frosty rampart]

strange

i dunno why i have literally no memory of it then lmao

[red flower]

its new

[tepid crow]

Checking the lovely code, the only difference I could find was in the debug json files. The actual patch outputs have the same argument and should be identical

Then again, I'm not a lovely maintainer (or even rust programmer) so this is just advanced guessing

[frosty rampart]

would this technically violate modding rule 8

[tepid crow]

Ah that makes sense

[versed swan]

decompilation ~= distribution

(at least last i checked)

[frosty rampart]

yea fair, i realized that like right after i sent the message
it won't provide the source code unless you've already purchased the game, since it only generates it at runtime

[tulip pecan]

is it possible to get the default config = { extra = { } } values of a joker that is not currently in play? I heard something about self.config earlier but I don't know how to set that up, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[frosty rampart]

G.P_CENTERS.j_modprefix_jokerkey.config should do it i think

[gaunt thistle]

yeah it was a port from some testing code that I implemented for the sdk and then was broken and forgotten about

not super super high importance to get it fixed since nothing really uses it yet

but it is pretty ugly

[gaunt thistle]

^^

[versed swan]

i see

[gaunt thistle]

yeah just a dumb mistake on my part :P

[red flower]

smh i have to do this now

[versed swan]

is the rotation unit in balatro degrees or radians?

[primal robin]

Radians

[versed swan]

thank you

actually how do you rotate attention_text?

tried rotate arg and it doesnt work

...oh, rotate takes 2 or truthy

[near coral]

So for a consumable that turns specific jokers into other specific jokers, is it possible to make it happen without editing the code of the vanilla jokers

I'm afraid that if the vanilla jokers are edited then it'll conflict with some other mods that also edit them

Actually let me reword it

Using a consumable that transforms jokers into other jokers, is it possible to assign vanilla jokers a specific joker to turn into without touching the code of said vanilla jokers

[mystic river]

is there a built-in way for the collection card of an edition to be a playing card or do i have to just make an atlas of a fake card

[tepid crow]

I'm confused, wouldn't that just be a big look-up table? Like

Joker -> Card Sharp
Greedy Joker -> Rough Gem
Lusty Joker -> Bloodstone
etc...

[near coral]

I'm not a coder, I'm just asking to see if it's possible

[mystic river]

for an extremely stretched definition of "not touching vanilla code", you can take ownership and add a custom trait that exists solely for this use

e.g.

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership{"joker", {
 bizarrlo_upgrade = "j_stuntman"
}, silent)

[near coral]

All I wanna know is if it's possible to do it without going into every vanilla joker and adding code to it

[tepid crow]

Yeah

[mystic river]

big lookup table, then

[near coral]

Whar is a lookup table

[mystic river]

you need some method of taking the card you have as input and getting the card you want as output

[mystic river]

a big table that says "if input is x, output is y" for all the values of x you might care for

[near coral]

Oh

And it's in the consumable code?

[mystic river]

in lua it'd look like

MOD.empower_chart = {
 j_joker = "j_stuntman",
 j_greedy = "j_rough_gem"
 -- ,,,etc
}

[mystic river]

or anywhere the consumeable can access it

[tepid crow]

I'd make it public so other mods can theoretically access/edit it, but it'd be used in the consumable code yeah

[vernal path]

color grading except each pixel is transformed into a joker rather than a different color using a LUT

[near coral]

So it doesn't matter if the table is part of the consumable code or the joker code?

[umbral zodiac]

thinking

[mystic river]

and the consumeable would have a line something like

 local orig_key = card.config.center.key
 local new_key = MOD.empower_chart[orig_key]

[mystic river]

a table like this wouldn't make sense to put in the joker code

you wouldn't define every individual joker effect on jimbo

[near coral]

I meant like "if [consumable] is used then turn into [joker]" type of stuff

[vernal path]

my java brain ass just said "yeah put that in an enum"
im so uncooked

[near coral]

But on every joker thus spreading the table across every affected joker

[hoary spear]

How could I add like, "tags" to a joker/consumable/whatever, that other cards/jokers/consumables can check for? Like pokermon energy types but with multiple at once ?

[vernal path]

you could add them to pools

[mystic river]

you don't need to define the entire collection on jimbo and on greedy joker and on stuntman etc
you either define the entire collection in one central place, or you define each joker on that joker

[near coral]

Ohkay

[vernal path]

Or you could just have a table in config.extra like

config = { ability = { extra = { tags = [tag1, tag2, tag3]}  } }``` or something

oops sorry @hoary spear

[hoary spear]

Okay, config table was kinda what I was thinking to

Then how would the searching them work?

[tepid crow]

you'd probably do something like {tag1 = true, tag2 = true, ...} and then just check if the key exists

[hoary spear]

Mhm

[vernal path]

something like next(SMODS.find_card("j_jimbo").config.ability.extra.tag[tag1] or something
actually, i dont think thats valid but i hate lua so i can never remember how to do stuff like that
yeah that'd right lars

[hoary spear]

Thanks y'all:)

[vernal path]

yuh

[tepid crow]

A comment in SMODS.Edition suggests setting atlas does something. No clue if that's true or not

[mystic river]

setting atlas to a custom suit kind of works, but it only renders the front, not the center

[tepid crow]

oh unless that's what you already meant with "atlas of a fake card" lmao

[mystic river]

yeah

[plucky lantern]

any advice on how to not be scared to start trying to make smthn? ugh i have smthn i want to make but like i'm scared of trying for some reason 😭

[frosty rampart]

mood lol
wanna talk about what you're trying to make? positive reinforcement from others might help

[plucky lantern]

-# yeah nvm i'm too shy for that i should probably give up like i do with everything else in my life

[frosty rampart]

hey no wait :<

you can dm me about it if you'd rather, my dms are very much open

[near coral]

It's a fandom largely built on making things, there's not much real pressure outside of any you create yourself

[plucky lantern]

fair

[near coral]

If you do make something, then cool you get to show it off and built on it if you want
Though if not then there's nothing for people to care about and you end up complaining about your virtual stage freight in a dev channel for nothing

[near coral]

This is gonna sound kinda mean but know I'm not trying to make you feel bad, it just needs to be said bluntly
Nobody cares if you do or don't make something, in the event you do itg will rightfully be subject to constructive criticism, if someone is mean about it that's their fault for lacking the maturity

[hoary spear]

This goes for me to, I quite enjoy yapping back n forth

[near coral]

But please don't make the fate of your hypothetical project our problem, you can request help but emotional support is not obligate

[vale zinc]

Changing the background color with ease_background_colour{} resets the color after a Hand/Discard is used. How do I make it stick instead?

[plucky lantern]

fair, sorry for the bother

[frosty rampart]

state shenanigans
you'll want to find the various update functions in-game and then patch them to not reload the custom background color if you have one set. they should be in game.lua iirc?

[vale zinc]

How might I, instead, modify the value that the reset-values look for? Changing G.GAME.blind.config.blind.boss_colour didn't suffice.

[split creek]

Any ideas why my patch might not be patching?

[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = '''ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(hand_chips*mult)'''
position = "after"
payload = ''' + math.floor(G.GAME.mtg_bonus_chips)'''
match_indent = true```
Targeting this part of state_events.lua:
```lua
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      trigger = 'ease',
      blocking = false,
      ref_table = G.GAME,
      ref_value = 'chips',
      ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(hand_chips*mult),
      delay =  0.5,
      func = (function(t) return math.floor(t) end)
    }))```

[daring fern]

You're missing the ,

[split creek]

Does it have to be the whole line?

[frosty rampart]

ye
"after" patches have to match a whole line and will inject a new line, they can't add onto an existing line
you probably have to do an "at" patch instead

[split creek]

got it, thanks!

[tepid crow]

isn't it about pattern vs regex?

[versed swan]

how do you rotate a ui element?
edit: add to the node's config table func="exampleFunc", then create the following function:

function G.UI.exampleFunc(e)
  e.T.r = number
end

[frosty rampart]

a regex patch would be able to find the line without a full match, but it still would inject on a new line unless it was an at patch anyway. plus regex patches are much less efficient

[tepid crow]

What? I'm pretty sure you can do a patches.regex with "after" without it inserting newlines

[split creek]

well i'm using at now and it's still not working. I've checked smods and it doesn't look like it changes this line (and the only other loaded mod is debugplus, which doesn't alter it either)

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = '''ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(hand_chips*mult),'''
position = "at"
payload = '''ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor(hand_chips*mult) + math.floor(G.GAME.mtg_bonus_chips),'''
match_indent = false```

[frosty rampart]

the wording on the lovely injector documentation implies otherwise but I could totally just be reading it wrong, I don't have any experience with it
the efficiency point still stands

[tepid crow]

might need to escape the * with a \? Not 100% sure, I can try it

[tepid crow]

I'm pretty sure the lovely documentation never explicitly says you can only use pattern for full lines, but I do believe it's the case

And I remember that being such a pain to find out myself by trial and error

[tepid crow]

Well you don't need to escape it. Your patch works fine for me

[tepid crow]

Actually, where does it say that in the lovely docs? 🤔

[split creek]

Am i misunderstanding this warn message then?

[tepid crow]

No, you've got that right 🤔

[split creek]

I'm using the dev branch of smods...?

[frosty rampart]

do you maybe have any other mods that could be patching around there?

or maybe yea dev smods could be doing that too

[tepid crow]

that could be an issue? doubt it but could be

[daring fern]

No, it's because the line would be ease_to = G.GAME.chips + math.floor( SMODS.calculate_round_score() ),

[frosty rampart]

yea that sounds like something smods would patch in

[split creek]

oh you're so right

[tepid crow]

oh I'm testing this without smods lmao

[split creek]

[patches.regex]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = "^(.*)hand_chips\\s*\\*\\s*mult(.*)$"
position = "at"
payload = '''$1 SMODS.calculate_round_score() $2'''```

I was looking for ease_to when i checked smods, so i missed this

[split creek]

lmaoooo XD

Thanks everyone!

[bold gyro]

how do i make a card with a static base layer, but with an animated soul layer? is it possible to use two atlases (one ASSET_ATLAS, and one ANIMATION_ATLAS) on an object?

[umbral zodiac]

idk if thats a supported feature by default, but if its not you could prolly just apply the soul layer via drawstep

[shrewd cobalt]

How would I go about having a Joker's art change when it's spawned in shop? I want to have a funny rare chance a joker art is different when its spawned

[daring fern]

In the set_sprites function, you would do card.children.center:set_sprite_pos({x = x, y = y}), assuming the alternate sprite is on the same atlas.

is pseudorandom ran on set_sprites?

[daring fern]

No, pseudorandom is a function, it can be ran anywhere as long as it exists.

[jolly pivot]

is there a way to change the sprite of a joker

oh wait is that it

set sprite

[daring fern]

A joker that you made or a specific joker?

[jolly pivot]

my own joker

[daring fern]

Then yes, it is the set_sprites function, if you want it to change when it is created.

[jolly pivot]

does that function have any special effects or is it instant

not necessary at all it would just feel better to me

[daring fern]

It's instant.

[shrewd cobalt]

Alright, I ask because what I'm trying to do doesnt seem to work, even when I set pseudorandom('smsn_easter_egg') < 1.1 so that it hits everytime

[daring fern]

card.ability wont exist when set_sprites is first called.

[shrewd cobalt]

That seemed to do it, thanks!

[obtuse wraith]

||Insert joke about Pokermon Shiny edition here.||

[thorn ingot]

Hi, guys. Super quick question.
How do I make this round the money up after halving.

ease_dollars(-(G.GAME.dollars / 2))

[jolly pivot]

math.ceil() i believe

math.floor() for rounding down

[thorn ingot]

Thanks. That was useful.

[tulip pecan]

I'm trying to make a joker that debuffs all cards except hearts. This example here works, but it doesn't un-debuff cards converted with The Sun Tarot card, and also doesn't un-debuff the other cards when the joker is sold. How would I go about implementing these?

[jolly pivot]

whennn is this function being triggered

is it constantly updating or does it just work once when the joker first loads

[kindred niche]

Is there an easier way to make a deck that changes all joker's to use the next highest operation in their calculate function than to remake all of them by hand, I just cannot think of how I would do it if it even is possible

Not even to mention the localization text too

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

-- Turns into

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

As an example

[slim ferry]

Changing the localization probably isnt happening

But you can hook SMODS.calculate_individual_effect to convert the effects to the next operator

[frosty rampart]

just once when the joker loads

[jolly pivot]

hrm

i want the joker to update dynamically

is that not possible this way

[frosty rampart]

but you can call card.children.center:set_sprite_pos elsewhere

[jolly pivot]

icic

[thorn ingot]

Hey again guys.

Do you know if I can reduce the appearance rate of specific cards? Like boosters.

So making a specific tarot or Odd Todd less likely to appear for an example.

[gaunt thistle]

patch qol requests? issues with the workflow? I humbly request lovely feedback

[maiden phoenix]

Individual object weight is in the work in SMODS iirc

[fading rivet]

If I take ownership of a vanilla card and define its calculate method, will it still do its normal things if my calculate method doesn't return anything?

[primal robin]

no

you need either add old calculate as a hook or fully define entire card logic

[sleek valley]

is there a way to check the players current money and use that in a cards config?
like for example, im tryna make a joker that does a thing after the player spends half their total money

[fading rivet]

ight thx

[daring fern]

add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
    card.ability.extra.original_money = G.GAME.dollars
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.money_altered and G.GAME.dollars <= card.ability.extra.original_money/2 then
        -- Do a thing
    end
end

[sleek valley]

it's just returning nil

[daring fern]

Code?

[sleek valley]

local bankroll = SMODS.Joker{
    atlas = 'joker',
    key = 'bankroll',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 1 }, soul_pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    set_badges = function(self, card, badges) badges[#badges+1] = tss_badges.Goob() end,
    discovered = false,
    unlocked = false,
    rarity = 2,
    cost = 6,
    config = { extra = { original_money = 0, cost = 0, attempted = false } },

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

    add_to_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        card.ability.extra.original_money = G.GAME.dollars
    end,

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.money_altered and G.GAME.dollars <= card.ability.extra.original_money then
            card.ability.extra.cost = card.ability.extra.original_money / 2
        end
    end
}

i'm trying to get it to display in loc_vars too, which is probably where the problem is coming from

[cobalt iron]

how would I check for each unique enhancement in a played hand?

[daring fern]

It should be if context.money_altered and G.GAME.dollars <= card.ability.extra.original_money/2

[sleek valley]

sadly makes no difference to fixing the nil problem, but fixed

[daring fern]

local enhancements = {}
for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    SMODS.merge_defaults(enhancements, SMODS.get_enhancements(v))
end
local countable_enhancements = {}
for k, v in pairs(enhancements) do
    table.insert(countable_enhancements, k)
end
local count = #countable_enhancements

[tidal hemlock]

do you need mod prefixes for pools?

[daring fern]

No.

If one has a shader that makes parts of a card invisible how could one prevent editions from making the invisible parts visible again?

[dapper sun]

you can't

cardshaders and editions don't seem to be compatible

they draw over each other

for example, here's my cardshader healhbar being drawn over by the holographic shader

[primal robin]

you cant apply 2 shaders on a card?

That's a bummer

[dapper sun]

how do i make an info_queue show a joker's locked requirement description?

[plain apex]

does anyone know how can i take a life off of the player in multiplayer neither MP.UI.ease_lives(-1) or MP.GAME.lives = (MP.GAME.lives or 0) - 1 actually keeps the life gone when they go and lose a nemesis fight

[dapper sun]

try asking in the mmultiplayer server

#help-desk seems like the right channel to ask in

[plain apex]

did and got absolutely no response

[dapper sun]

maybe wait some more

[plain apex]

like i want to make some multiplayer content for my mod because some people are playing it in multiplayer pretty regularly recently but nobody will answer any of my questions about multiplayer support

[primal robin]

just ease lives may be not enough, you need to make sure you to sync it with server

[plain apex]

do you know how to sync it with the server?

[restive violet]

I'm trying to look into how the pseudorandom works, but I'm running into an issue with math.randomseed(seed) in pseudorandom. Namely, pseudoseed seems to return a number between 0 and 1, while math.randomseed expects an integer as far as I can tell. What am I missing?

[dapper sun]

bump

[dapper sun]

why're you looking inside pseudorandom? what're you trying to accomplish

[restive violet]

oh nvm this is [probably?] my answer

[restive violet]

want to look into seed searching and it's more fun to try to do it myself tbh

[dapper sun]

ah

cool

[restive violet]

oh omnipotententity has more useful content sweet. apparently luajit has an entirely different random seed

[red flower]

if i had a penny for every person that needed this information this month i-

[plain apex]

i also asked about how to do server related things in the multiplayer discord but nobody answered me like how am i supposed to add support for multiplayer bruh

[dapper sun]

have you tried looking at the code for existing multiplayer jokers?

[plain apex]

i mean yes? but its not really clear how to get any of the information

took like multiple days just to figure out how to get the opponents score in the nemesis blind for items like this because nobody will answer me

[green epoch]

heyho, how could i check the first scored card? thank you

[daring fern]

Patch generate_card_ui and set card_type to 'Locked' in the info_queue you want.

[daring fern]

context.scoring_hand[1]

[green epoch]

thank you!

[dapper sun]

ty

[dapper sun]

it's not working

[daring fern]

Code?

[dapper sun]

https://github.com/ellestuff/slimeutils/blob/main/lovely/upgrades.toml#L24

[subtle hawk]

g

[daring fern]

No, card_type is an input for generate_card_ui, you need to change that.

[dapper sun]

ahh

[subtle hawk]

How would I create a card without discovering it...

[dapper sun]

how would i add this to my existing patch?

[daring fern]

if _c.card_type then card_type = _c.card_type end

[dapper sun]

where would i put this,,?

[shell timber]

id assume youd put it where you set upgrade_center.card_type currently

[dapper sun]

ah ok

[shell timber]

though i may be wrong

[daring fern]

No, you would put it outside of the if (card).

[dapper sun]

yeah i'm looking at it and idk abt that

ah ok

before or after?

or in the else

[daring fern]

It can be either.

[dapper sun]

ok

still not working

[daring fern]

It would actually have to be in a hook before the original function runs.

[dapper sun]

oh

[broken rivet]

wouldn't you also need to use locked_loc_vars here

[dapper sun]

how do i make the text say locked instead of the joker's name, like this

[daring fern]

Set full_UI_table.info[#full_UI_table.info].name to localize{type = 'name', set = 'Other', key = 'locked', nodes = {}} in the hook after the original function runs.

[dapper sun]

ty

not working

local generate_card_ui_hook = generate_card_ui
function generate_card_ui(_c,full_UI_table,specific_vars,card_type,...)
    if _c.card_type then card_type = _c.card_type end
    local ret = generate_card_ui_hook(_c,full_UI_table,specific_vars,card_type,...)
    if _c.card_type == "Locked" then full_UI_table.info[#full_UI_table.info].name = localize{type = 'name', set = 'Other', key = 'locked', nodes = {}} end
    return ret
end```

[past bear]

hai i asked about how to get started on making my first ever mod and i was given this link (https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod) and this channel to discuss further topics about it

the thing is

i read the page and it just seemed like tips more than a tutorial

and i did not understand much..

does anyone else know any other or just a similar but clear way of understanding how to get started

[dapper sun]

that is the clear way of understanding how to get started

[past bear]

oh :(

[dapper sun]

Steamodded documentation

• Check out the Mod Metadata page for how to get your mod detected by Steamodded.
• Check out the API Documentation page for information on the basics of Steamodded's api.
• For adding content, check the Game Objects part of the sidebar, which lists every object SMODS can create.

[past bear]

i will read those pages, hope i can learn something

thx

[dapper sun]

i'm just repeating verbatim a part of the page you linked

[dapper sun]

@daring fern

[past bear]

seems like i didn't pay enough attention

[daring fern]

Try using ret instead of full_UI_table

[dapper sun]

ok

still nothing

i think maybe it's bc of name_styled?

also the snippet you gave me will only do the last ui element

[daring fern]

Yes, which is the info_queue

[dapper sun]

ah ok

still, that doesn't fix it

it seems it'll have to be a patch or smtn bc it uses dynatext

[primal robin]

full_UI_table so scary even I dont use it at all

[rapid stag]

2nd screenie has the set_ability

[green epoch]

anybody happen to know why i get a decode crash when i play a sound?

[normal crest]

there is honestly so much here, what if you make the use function just the set_ability call in an event and leave the rest commented our or smt

that will at least tell us if the problem is the rest of your code there or smt else

[fading rivet]

send crashlog?

[green epoch]

yeah sure, give me a second

[rapid stag]

or i could make a minimum reproducible example

just for pedantry's sake, here's that repro'd with just that and debugplus

[rigid solar]

Does anyone know which color shift to apply to these areas to get these effects in pack sprites?

[rapid stag]

could try experimenting with multiply and darken only blend effects

[slim ferry]

iirc theres a set of the booster shading layers in #1224362333208444989

[thorny wigeon]

I'm currently having a bit of an issue, a mod I'm making isn't actually showing the custom deck. I did everything exactly the same way as my mod from yesterday, but today I got an error saying it couldn't decode the PNG and CRC can be disabled. I re-exported my PNG, the error is gone but my deck is just a renamed default skin.

I just switched off pixel scaling and now it's crashing for 1x files so I have no idea why the PNG isn't working

[rigid solar]

found this #1224362333208444989 message thx

[normal crest]

it works for me...

I did the same thing as you

with your mod

[frosty dock]

"couldn't decode" type errors sometimes happen when you don't have enough system resources available

could well be that

[slim ferry]

also happens when the file extension doesnt match the file data right

or if it doesnt exist i think

[thorny wigeon]

But then why is it that when it doesn't give that error that my cards are just default?

[thorny wigeon]

How would that happen?

[frosty dock]

I don't think that's the same error

[slim ferry]

Did you save it as something other than .png and remame it to a .png

[frosty dock]

idk, show your code and file structure

[normal crest]

I'm on the latest smods release by the way, 1224a

[frosty dock]

yeah that's a valid point

[thorny wigeon]

1x is the same

[thorny wigeon]

I did not, I exported it straight out as a PNG. I was using GIMP
I tested the mod I made yesterday and switching to 1x gives the same crash

[rapid stag]

both repros show me being on the latest release. i'll ask with some of the people playing my mod if unlocks work for them and it's somehow just a me issue

in that case, i don't mind if it's just me - if it actually works for the people playing my mod, then that's fine

[normal crest]

is it because the run is seeded?

I just noticed that

i don't actually know if that matters but might as well try

[rapid stag]

oh right, i should try to repro with unseeded

[slim ferry]

unlocks are disabled on seeded runs...

[wintry solar]

Yeah seeded run block unlocks

[normal crest]

oh well that's why then

[slim ferry]

Dupid

[thorny wigeon]

What image editors do people use when exporting for balatro?

[normal crest]

personally libresprite

[thorny wigeon]

Have you ever had a decode error?

[normal crest]

i don't think so

[rapid stag]

i use gimp myself

[thorny wigeon]

This is so weird

the mod just isn't displaying, it's just the default balatro textures

I genuinely don't get why its doing this

[rapid stag]

players confirm that jokers unlocked via set_ability remain locked in collections

[green epoch]

when i attempt to load an image i get an error saying that it couldnt open my image in mode r
msg = string: "[SMODS edensmod \"edensmod.lua\"]:3: Error reading file 'jokers/customimages' for mod with ID 'edensmod': Could not open C:\\users\\steamuser\\AppData\\Roaming\\Balatro\\Mods/edensmod/jokers/customimages in mode r
full log attached

thanks in advance if you know

i have no idea what mode r is, i've searched in this channel for it and the only piece of advice i've found is close whatever is using the file, but i dont have anything open that would be using it afaik

[lyric wadi]

how do i use card_to_draw

i want to increase the number of cards to be drawn

but from what i see in the example code there's only a way to overwrite the number

[daring fern]

Yes, you would do cards_to_draw = context.amount+number

[lyric wadi]

thank you

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local emptyCount = math.max(0,((G.consumeables.config.card_limit or 0) - ((#G.consumeables.cards or 0) + (G.GAME.consumeable_buffer or 0)))) + math.max(0,((G.jokers.config.card_limit or 0) - ((#G.jokers.cards or 0) + (G.GAME.joker_buffer or 0))))
        return { vars = { emptyCount, card.ability.extra.gold } }
    end,

okay which one did thunk misspell the misspelling again

consumeable is the bane of modding this game

[daring fern]

No, it's because G.consumeables doesn't exist outside of a run.

[reef bobcat]

if i set consumable type shop rate to 0, it wont be able to show up in the shop right?

[mystic river]

i believe this is so, yes

it might default to 0, actually

[fading rivet]

where do lucky cards store their chances to trigger?

[mystic river]

i believe it's somewhere in G.P_CENTERS.m_lucky

[reef bobcat]

ok so can I put consumables in the same lua file i program jokers?

[rigid solar]

Can SMODS.poll_rarity return "legendary"?

[slim ferry]

No

Legendary has weight 0 so it wont do that

[rigid solar]

figured

[fading rivet]

could I access it in here?

like via card.ability.something

[wintry solar]

do you want to try that image again?

[fading rivet]

my phone camera sucks

[daring fern]

They don't, it's hardcoded.

[sturdy compass]

Win + shift + s

[frosty rampart]

have you heard of Windows key + Shift + S
it lets you take a screenshot
and copies it directly into your clipboard so you can paste it into discord

[slim ferry]

Or print screen key

[fading rivet]

Astra I swear you should know this by now 😭

I dont have wifi

[frosty rampart]

phone hotspot?

[sturdy compass]

I have my own server I lurk in not this one

[fading rivet]

sucks

[fading rivet]

yes I have

[mystic river]

plug your phone into your computer so you can grab the screenshot that way?

[fading rivet]

okay that's kind of annoying but makes things easier

[fading rivet]

I forgot my cord

I typically bring one for that purpose but I left it at home

[wintry solar]

have you tried holding your phone with two hands when taking a photo

[fading rivet]

I do

okay i think I got it working

[reef bobcat]

ok so i managed to get the basics of implementing a consumable but now

how do i get a consumable to have a unique image?

cuz right now it's using the default fool image

[slim ferry]

the same way you do it for a joker

[fading rivet]

same way for jokers

[slim ferry]

Or any other object

[fading rivet]

define at atlas

[fading rivet]

okay it works but the regular effect is still happening ;-;

[reef bobcat]

the thing is, i did it like i normally do for the jokers

i put an icon in assets, then i put an atlas position

[fading rivet]

whats the consumables code look like?

[reef bobcat]

    key = 'canarycry_token',
    set = 'DCBalatro_Token',
    pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
    config = { extra = { planets = 2 } },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.planets } }
    end,
    use = function(self, card, area, copier)
        for i = 1, math.min(card.ability.extra.planets, G.consumeables.config.card_limit - #G.consumeables.cards) do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.4,
                func = function()
                    if G.consumeables.config.card_limit > #G.consumeables.cards then
                        play_sound('timpani')
                        SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Planet' })
                        card:juice_up(0.3, 0.5)
                    end
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
        delay(0.6)
    end,
    can_use = function(self, card)
        return G.consumeables and #G.consumeables.cards < G.consumeables.config.card_limit or
            (card.area == G.consumeables)
    end
}```

it's just the high priestess

but i changed the key

and set

[fading rivet]

you never set the atlas

[reef bobcat]

i tried to

but i got an error

[fading rivet]

what error

[reef bobcat]

omg im so dumb

i forgot the comma

after the atlas thing

[fading rivet]

oop

[reef bobcat]

it's showing now

[fading rivet]

@dreamy thunder rn I have something along the lines of

store original calculate
take ownership of lucky card
overwrite calculate 
check main scoring, scored cards, and specific joker present
    return {mult = 4, dollars=1.3}
return original calculate

[wintry solar]

lucky cards dont have a calculate function

[fading rivet]

its incase some other mod added one

[mystic river]

change its name
vanilla objects determine their effect with one big central function doing if-then on their name

[fading rivet]

like change its key?

[mystic river]

that is, the center's name field

[fading rivet]

ah

will that mess with anything else?

[frosty rampart]

it shouldn't off the top of my head

[mystic river]

you might have to reimplement its loc_vars and some other vanilla features

[frosty rampart]

ideally the localization is based on the key, but i wouldn't put it past to do that sort of thing by name too lol

[mystic river]

iirc localization is key based, vars are name based

[frosty rampart]

ah

[fading rivet]

do I just put name in the take ownership section

[mystic river]

yes

[fading rivet]

k trying it out now

[wintry solar]

That will stop it from working without your joker

[fading rivet]

still fired twice

[mystic river]

hm

[fading rivet]

I did name="foobar_lucky"

wait I didnt save the file;-;

[mystic river]

that does make some difference :v

[fading rivet]

nope still twice

[wintry solar]

I imagine the check isn’t based on the name because of quantum enhancements

[dreamy thunder]

is .effect the name of the enhancement

[dreamy thunder]

looks like its not

[mystic river]

ah of course, thunk did the same thing two different ways

[fading rivet]

so would take ownership using effect work?

[red flower]

what are we trying to do

[mystic river]

should
though you may have to reimplement the normal calculate as eremel said

[fading rivet]

disable the regular calculation for lucky cards when I have a specific joker

[fading rivet]

already did that

[mystic river]

[red flower]

shouldnt it already do that

[mystic river]

a lot of vanilla stuff is hard coded in a way that can't be directly overwritten by taking ownership

[fading rivet]

I thought I could do it the same way as vanilla jokers but apparently not

[red flower]

but smods does take ownership

[fading rivet]

also this didn't work either

still triggered

[dreamy thunder]

in the dump it looks like its still using .effect to check

[mystic river]

okay well let's go look at that first before assuming it's all vanilla then

[fading rivet]

the weird thing is that my effect is triggered, and the default effect

[red flower]

ah no its just for loc vars

you are reimplementing lucky anyway

why not just patch it out

[dreamy thunder]

^

[fading rivet]

whats the file name?

[dreamy thunder]

card.lua

[red flower]

card.lua search for "Lucky Card"

[fading rivet]

thx

[reef bobcat]

ok so i want my joker to create a specific consumable when triggered

how would i go about that?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({key = 'c_modprefix_key'})

[tulip pecan]

bump

[daring fern]

It should be context.debuff_card:is_suit('Hearts', true)

[granite jay]

You know the “hand will not score” message?
How do you display that without the hand being debuffed?

[fading rivet]

what does lovely do if multiple locations match a pattern?

[slim ferry]

patch each location

unless you add a times value to the patch, then itll only patch the first times matching patterns

[fading rivet]

any idea why this wont patch then?

[slim ferry]

Dunno

Make sure youre patching the right file ig

[fading rivet]

i am

[daring fern]

Log?

[reef bobcat]

you mean this?

[fading rivet]

use key not dcbalatro_token

[daring fern]

Yes, it should be SMODS.add_card({key = 'c_sj_canarycry_token'})

[fading rivet]

bump

[reef bobcat]

:0

[daring fern]

Is this file called lovely.toml or in a folder called lovely and in your mod's folder?

[vernal path]

shouldn't pattern be in normal quotes?

[fading rivet]

lovely/simplex.toml

[daring fern]

No, it can be ', " or '''

[frosty rampart]

the triple quote format is just standard syntax, no issue there

[vernal path]

Ah
i guess that makes sense, I guess i've only ever seen single line patterns so there's never been any need for it :P

[reef bobcat]

yay it worked

[fading rivet]

all my other patch files work too

[red flower]

the line has a space at the end

[fading rivet]

omg bruh

thx

wait i dont se it

[vernal path]

Yeah, was gonna say i dont see that in my card.lua?

[vernal path]

unless the lovely dump strips those

[red flower]

it doesnt

[fading rivet]

oh

theres 2 different lines

[vernal path]

ohhhh

[fading rivet]

the first doesnt have a space

[vernal path]

lolll

[fading rivet]

that doesn't explain why the first line wasn't patching though

still no luck

neither patched

[reef bobcat]

last thing to bring it all together, how do I give this a unique message instead of "+1 spectral?"

[daring fern]

Change localize('k_plus_spectral') to 'message'

[fading rivet]

stil didn't change anything

[red flower]

you dont need to ping me im reading the chat

idk

[past spade]

is there a context like context.card_added that runs for the card being added?

[red flower]

you should use the add_to_deck function instead

[past spade]

does that work for stickers?

[red flower]

i dont think so

context.card_added doesnt work?

[past spade]

only seems to trigger the other jokers

[slim ferry]

You could hook Card:add_to_deck and Card:remove_from_deck and check for the sticker there

I guess

[past spade]

yeah guess I'll have to do something like that

unrelated, anyone know why this blind has the wrong texture specifically in the challenge restrictions screen? looks correct everywhere else

[fading rivet]

okay it seems like my patch i\snt being registered

any idea why?

[junior tapir]

I'd normally check if steamodded does some patches that makes the pattern unrecognizable, but the only patch it does over this piece of code doesn't change the pattern

[fading rivet]

okay so I completed restarted balatro and it started being recognized

weird

but somehow the original code is still firing

[junior tapir]

firing with not FooBar.average_probability() false?

[slim ferry]

Lovely has a bug where the dump doesnt get updated if you use the restart hotkey instead of fully quitting out and relaunching

So that probably was the issue

[mystic river]

argh, what? now i have to account for this too?

[junior tapir]

I have a question: I can add my own menu in the settings through just 2 patches, but I want to do the settings possibly in my own config. How do I achieve that?

[fading rivet]

ooooh

[fading rivet]

yeah

I tested in the console and FooBar.average_probability() was true

[junior tapir]

I don't use the console, what I'd do in this situation is make average_probability always return true/false and test it, maybe it becomes true/false right after the check you make because of some context synchronization is my guess

[fading rivet]

its a helper function for if the simplex joker is present

which it is

[junior tapir]

ohh so just next(SMODS.find_card("j_MODid_joker")) functionality

[fading rivet]

yeah

[junior tapir]

and does the conditional statement misfire with the next(...) function, or is the average_probability returning in one line the next(...)

[fading rivet]

lemme check

[slim ferry]

SMODS.find_card already doesnt count debuffed cards by default

[reef bobcat]

ok i just realized my consumable needs a description text, how do i give it that?

[junior tapir]

ummm, why [1], seems off to me

[slim ferry]

Gets the first found card

[junior tapir]

ohh first card

[reef bobcat]

normally i go in the en-us file and add in the parameters

[fading rivet]

oh didn't know that

either way that wouldn't change my code from not working

the card isn't debuffed

[reef bobcat]

do i need a seperate section for consumables? and do I use the j_(mod prefix) for the consumable?

[slim ferry]

If its a custom type it should get put in a new category with the consumable type key as the category key

and its c_modprefix_key for consumables

[fading rivet]

oh wtf

okay so the actually cards effect is being triggered twice

its not the default

okay i'm now more confused

where are these numbers coming from

[reef bobcat]

im definitely doing something wrong, the consumable still doesnt have the text in game

[junior tapir]

I have a single consumable but it works like this:

SMODS.Consumable {
    ...
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'name',
        text = {
            'descr'
        }
    }
    ...
}

[fading rivet]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Localization

genuinely gonna crash out why is this not working

OOOOOOH

i think I foundn it

since i'm taking ownership of the card, I"m assuming its now subject to all of SMODS stuff

so the built in p_dollars in the config is now being treated as a value to always return

[red flower]

ah yes

[fading rivet]

YES

OMG is from a patch intro the p_dollar check

whar is from the wanted effect

[junior tapir]

[fading rivet]

YES IT WORKS

[keen sierra]

so, most tutorials to make balatro mods are to make jokers, so i wanted to ask: i want to make a mod that prevents jimbo from appearing (for example, if all legendaries were gotten and jimbo is about to appear, it changes to a rare), so, can i ask where could i get the resources of how to do it?

[daring fern]

‎

[red flower]

you would need to patch/hook get_current_pool/create_card most likely

[fading rivet]

what would the info_queue entries for foil, holochrome, and polychrome be?

[red flower]

there's a new feature for modded rarities that does something like that so it could be repurposed i think

[red flower]

G.P_CENTERS.e_foil etc?

[fading rivet]

thx

i forgor

okay wheel of fotunre should theoreticly work

nope

nvm it does work i forgot i had 4 oops

[hidden aspen]

I have a question about how SMODS works.

In Joker's default constructor, there is a function called inject, which will add this joker to all the ingame pools.

and this function will be called from the obj_table and obj_buffer

that are a part of the GameObject class

but. how do objects get added to obj_table?

because doesnt all this thing does basically create a table? how does this table end up in a global class array

[red flower]

doing SMODS.Joker({...})
calls the GameObject register function

(smods classes use a metatable so you can call them like a function)

[hidden aspen]

okay i see that register is appending to the obj_table, but how is register called then?

like i dont see any register call in the __call

[red flower]

that's for lsp

its this one im pretty sure

[fading rivet]

is the key for holographi cards just "holo" or something?

[red flower]

yes

e_holo

[fading rivet]

thx

just got the wheel to do now

[hidden aspen]

thank you so much, i now understand the structure of SMODS

[granite raptor]

does this description make enough sense?

[fading rivet]

yeah looks good

Is there any spot I should save data to a blind?

[daring fern]

Yes, blind.effect

[fading rivet]

thx

[wild escarp]

Where are all the scoring cards stored?

Is it just context.scoring_hand?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[wild escarp]

Thanks!

[tranquil echo]

woah

first time in in here

how do i view the voucher source code?
i cant find it

[slim ferry]

i assume youre looking for how vanilla vouchers are coded?

[tranquil echo]

yeah

specifically observatory

[frosty rampart]

use VanillaRemade, it remakes basically all vanilla content as if it was modded. It's a much better reference than actual vanilla code

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/vouchers.lua look for it here

[tranquil echo]

tysm fellas

[slim ferry]

I LOVE THUNK CODE

[tranquil echo]

love yall

[frosty rampart]

happy to help

[clear ocean]

game recongises game

[wild escarp]

Anyone know why this calculate function doesn't work? I'd like this seal to give additional xchips for every scoring card that has that same seal, e.g. 1 scoring card of this seal gives 1.1x chips, 2 scoring cards of this seal each give 1.2x chips, and so on but it currently does absolutely nothing

calculate = function(self, context, card)
    if context.cardarea == G.play and context.main_scoring then
        local love = 1
        for k, v in ipairs(context.scoring_hand) do
            if v.seal == "Love" then
                love = love + card.ability.seal.extra.xchips_inc
            end
        end
        return {
            x_chips = love
        }
    end
end

[red flower]

is it entering the context, you should always try adding prints to if statements

from what i see the problem could be that the seal is missing the mod prefix

[tulip pecan]

Is it possible to implement a shader that goes over the entire game when a certain condition is met, like a vignette? if so, how would I achieve this?

[red flower]

there's a feature for that in the next smods version

https://github.com/real-niacat/Wiki/blob/master/SMODS.ScreenShader.md

[tulip pecan]

I have smods-1.0.0-beta-1224a, is this a feature in this beta release, or should I wait?

[red flower]

it's not in that release, no

[tulip pecan]

gotcha

[daring fern]

It should be if v:get_seal() == 'modprefix_key'

[wild escarp]

Thank you!

[rapid stag]

what if i did a manual check for unlock call behind a check for unseeded run, plus a save progress

even just to patch it over so that i don't have to immediately untangle my code from half a year ago to figure out a fix

[normal crest]

did you tell them to go to an unseeded run

[rapid stag]

they were most likely doing unseeded runs since they weren't trying to debug and actually play the game

[daring fern]

[thorn ingot]

hi guys. Do you know how to make the finisher blind have a score multiplier?

I wanted to make a stake that makes them be x1.5.

Tried to look around for a starting point but couldn't find any.

[wanton jolt]

what do you mean

i believe its mult =

[thorn ingot]

Having the finisher blinds require 50% more chips. So on ante 8 if the boss blind would require 200k chips base it now would require 300k.

[wanton jolt]

you want to change the base multiplier right

like are you looking for the 2x base?

[thorn ingot]

yeah I guess it would be times 3 in that case.

[wanton jolt]

mult = 3

[thorn ingot]

but only for the finisher

[wanton jolt]

you want to make a showdown blind right

[thorn ingot]

no, modify the current ones. it's for a new stake

[wanton jolt]

?

oh

OH

wait

[thorn ingot]

okay

omg

[wanton jolt]

G.GAME.modifiers.scaling = (G.GAME.modifiers.scaling or 1) * 2

this multiplies the base

for all blinds

idk if it affects boss blinds but it probably should

ante 1 will stay the same though

[thorn ingot]

that's fine. do you know if I can make this only affect ante 8?

and 16 and 24 and so on

[wanton jolt]

add a check for ante modulo 8

and u can do the scaling = 1 + ante modulo 8

i think

thats where i would start at least

[thorn ingot]

mmm, yeah that's a good starting point yeah.
Thanks a lot.

[wanton jolt]

np

[hushed field]

For people that have set up timers through events, what would be the best way to make timers continue when the game is restarted?

[fading rivet]

How could I modify the cost of a specific joker during a run

[wanton jolt]

card:set_cost()

[fading rivet]

thx

[wanton jolt]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/main/src/jokers.lua#L1136

[fading rivet]

does it update it for all future occurrences or no

[wanton jolt]

no

[fading rivet]

how would I do that then?

[wanton jolt]

how are you planning to increase the joker's cost

per round / ante?

[fading rivet]

when ever it appears in shop it should double

[wanton jolt]

oh wow

[fading rivet]

inflation 👍

[hushed field]

You can hook set_cost() and rely on a global variable. If you check whether the card where the cost is being set is the right one, you can intercept and double it

[fading rivet]

Thx
what file is set cost in?

[hushed field]

I'd reckon card.lua?

[wanton jolt]

honestly i would try to do a global that resets on new run

and then set the card cost as that global

[fading rivet]

yep found it

[fading rivet]

thats what im doing yah imma use G.GAME

[wanton jolt]

good luck

[hushed field]

yeah, good point. That's what I meant, but I should've probably made that clearer, haha

[fading rivet]

hmm okay actually it might be easier to patch instead of hook

[hushed field]

Why's that? A hook should be fine for that function

[fading rivet]

the function calculates some stuff at the end that I would prefer to not take into account

oh wait actually there's some more jank

imma hook instead

[hushed field]

In that case, you can mess with the price before, no?

[fading rivet]

wait how do I hook into this again

I forgor

im doing this but its not working

[primal robin]

printscreen technology was forgotten once again

[stuck ore]

I'm having issues with an animated joker where after running for a couple seconds it goes black, I've tried putting it all in one line as opposed to a grid but then it's a weird red and white block like the polish flag?? Any ideas of where I screwed up? It could also just be that the animation is far too long because it is around 8000 frames but idk

[fading rivet]

no it wasnt

also any idea why the code won't work?

[primal robin]

increasing inflation like this is definitely bad idea since set_cost called pretty often in various cases

[stuck ore]

So i figured out it is because the png isn't wrapping back to the left side for the animated joker, are all animated joker sprites one line as opposed to multiple rows?

[fading rivet]

what would be a better way?

wait nvm I know one

okay it works thx

[stuck ore]

what is the limit of frames per animated joker?

[wanton jolt]

                    end
                }))

My joker is not deleting playing cards correctly, it can still be drawn to hand

when i look at G.hands.cards[x] it says added to deck = false, removed = true, being_removed: true

[crisp coral]

SMODS.destroy_cards(cards) instead of whatever the fuck you're doing

cards is a table or a Card

[wanton jolt]

it works thank you

[wintry crater]

my game crashed when i used the better hanged man card but the crash references an SMODS file and not my own. i know my code has to be the issue but i have no idea what happened

[limber aspen]

Code?

[daring fern]

‎

[wanton jolt]

let me check something

@daring fern how is your shader applied

this is ash card enhancement from aikoshen, with negative edition

[frosty rampart]

ash card isn't a shader tho, it's just the texture

[wanton jolt]

oh

i guess apply the shader last?

isnt there a layer system? i remember seeing such a thing when working with stickers

[dawn granite]

am i blind or is the game blind

[daring fern]

Move the play_sound out of the return

[red flower]

it's saying that you're missing a comma before chips
but the play_sound shouldn't be in the return at all

[dawn granite]

so it should be after the return right

[daring fern]

No, before.

[dawn granite]

ah right

(good i double checked)

now the issue i have now is how do i make it so the sound plays when the chips animation happens and not when the cards are played (since that's what's happening rn)

[daring fern]

Put this in the return:```lua
func = function()
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
func = function()
play_sound('modprefix_key')
return true
end
}))
end

[green epoch]

anyone happen to know why when i play a sound it crashes? im using my prefix but it cant find resources/sounds/eden_outro.ogg

            mult = self.config.extra.mult,
            message = strings[math.random(#strings)],
            sound = "eden_outro"
        }```

"prefix": "eden",

[daring fern]

Did you define the SMODS.Sound?

[green epoch]

ahh i forgot to do that, that's definitely it! thank you

[sleek valley]

is there a context for checking when a boss blind is beaten?
ik there's context.end_of_round but that goes for all blinds

[mystic river]

checking, not that I'm aware of
there's context.blind_defeated if you just want the timing

[sleek valley]

yeah, that works
is there a way to check the name/key of the blind to go with it then?

[mystic river]

I'm sure it's in some global variable, but i can't recall the name offhand

[sleek valley]

actually, come to think of it, i can probably just put a calculate function in the specific blind with context.blind_defeated, cant i?

[mystic river]

probably!

[hushed field]

G.GAME.blind:get_type() will get you the type of blind that was being faced.
G.GAME.round_resets.blind_choices.Boss == "bl_kino_xenomorph" will get you the key

Oh, didn't remove my own key from it

[daring fern]

context.end_of_round and context.beat_boss

[daring fern]

No, G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key is the key.

[sleek valley]

i think i got it now
my main problem is jsut figuring out how to make an achievement that triggers when this boss is defeated

which i realise should've been the first thing i asked .w.

[hidden aspen]

does anyone understand why in the generate_starting_seed function there are lines about legendary joker??

[mystic river]

when the boss is defeated, call check_for_unlock{type = "custom string"}, then define the achievement's check for unlock to return true if args and args.type == "custom string"

[sleek valley]

yeah, i had done that, but it's not working

[mystic river]

that calculate function doesn't appear to be part of any object

[sleek valley]

yeahh idk where to put it tho, outside of inside the related blind which doesnt feel right

[daring fern]

No, you should put the check_for_unlock call in the defeat function of the blind.

[mystic river]

the blind would've worked fine (you could even put it in the blind's defeat function)
but yeah mod calculate also works

[normal crest]

what does that reaction mean

i can't see the emoji name

[mystic river]

ninja

he said what i was typing while i was typing it

[normal crest]

i see

[sleek valley]

it worked!

tyyy

[minor anvil]

is there a way to take ownership of Game:init_game_object() in SMODS?

[daring fern]

No, but you can hook it.

[sleek valley]

would there be a way to make a "playstation platinum trophy" kind of achievement? where you only get it if you have all other achievements?

[wintry solar]

Yes

Just count how many achievements you have

[hidden aspen]

when the game is doing a save/load, how can i save and load modded data? its a global parameter and not part of any specific item

[mystic river]

putting it in G.SETTINGS would work
G.SETTINGS[G.SETTINGS.PROFILE] if you want it to be profile specific

[red flower]

if it's just for that run save it to G.GAME

[mystic river]

that as well

[hidden aspen]

thanks

[daring fern]

No, for profiles it would be G.PROFILES[G.SETTINGS.profile]

[mystic river]

right, those words

[minor anvil]

may i ask how? and maybe an example?

[daring fern]

local oldinitgameobject = Game.init_game_object
function Game:init_game_object()
    local g = oldinitgameobject(self)
    g.modprefix_variable = value
    return g
end

[minor anvil]

thank you!

[shy adder]

How can i change the seal label's text colour

[sleek valley]

text_colour = HEX("FF0000")

[red flower]

i dont think you can

[frosty rampart]

text_colour is only on consumable types (and i would know, i implemented it)
it would certainly be nice to have it on other badges like this tho, i'll keep that in mind for when i get my laptop fixed

[shy adder]

It didn't work thanks anyway i also tried badge_text_colour also didnt work

[red flower]

too slow im working on it rn

[frosty rampart]

500 smods PRs 🙂‍↕️

[crisp coral]

smods delayed by yet another week

[sleek valley]

yeahh mb, i noticed you were talking about seal labels a little too late, my mind autopiloted thinking it was about custom badges lol

[red flower]

murphy will never get his xmult

[shy adder]

I can change the seal's name colour with {C:red}{}, its very strange i cant do the same with seal's label

[red flower]

because they dont use the same formatting system

[shy adder]

ohh it makes sense

[sleek valley]

it's like using a hammer on a nail vs using a hammer on a screw

[red flower]

i should fix that to remove formatting as well since im pr'ing it

[final jewel]

is it possible to remove the use button ?

like my consumable is just sellable

[frosty rampart]

yes, but i don't think it's an easily toggleable setting or anything. iirc ego gifts in the dev branch of paperback remove the use button

[sleek valley]

"pr"?
is that an acronym im not enough of a dev to understand?

[red flower]

yes :3

[sleek valley]

[final jewel]

Pull request

[sleek valley]

ah, i see

[red flower]

it's pull request, when you ask for them to add code to the repository basically

[final jewel]

yeah

[final jewel]

so I might look in that ig

[sleek valley]

got it :3
if i wasnt so obsessed with ultrakill, i would've understood sooner instead of just thinking p-rank lol

[red flower]

does this need to do all the loops every time it needs to get the badge colour lol

[sleek valley]

good lord

[thorn ingot]

Hey guys. Back again.

Do you know how to make the score scaling affect only an specific ante?
I can't figure it out. fr.

Specifically to have the ante with the finisher blind require more chips.

[sleek valley]

i mean, you can just do mult = 8, in the blind itself

idk about a whole ante though

[thorn ingot]

Yeah, I have not been able to find any examples of that.

[slim ferry]

Hook get_blind_amount and check if any of the blind choices are the specific showdown blind?

[granite raptor]

if i wanted to replace a card within a booster pack as it's generated, what would be the best way to go about it? currently i have card:set_ability bound to an event that fires immediately within an context.open_booster calculation, but you're able to see the original card briefly before it turns into the new card. is there a more seamless way to do this? if i remove the event, i get a crash telling me G.pack_cards is a nil value, which i presume means the code is then running before the pack cards actually exist.

(i am aware of hidden and soul_rate but from testing this causes the card to be able to be capable of appearing in spectral packs regardless of soul_set which is undesired, i only want these cards to replace tarot cards)

[thorn ingot]

Maybe, I also thought about only modifying the showdown blind. That could work.

[daring fern]

Hook CardArea:emplace

[granite raptor]

worked like a charm, tyty

[final jewel]

Im not sure where to look for that, I checked every file that has ego gift in it

[frosty rampart]

oh it's three patches, lovely/ego_gift_buttons.toml
(it's three patches because two of them are for controller buttons and the other is for keyboard/mouse buttons)

[final jewel]

oh ok

[frosty rampart]

also the patches use a custom function that checks if a given card is an ego gift, you'll have to reference that function or do your own work to determine if the card is of the consumable type you're working with

[thorn ingot]

btw, guys. Does this work to indicate I want the ante with the finisher blind?

G.GAME.round_resets.ante = G.GAME.win_ante

I swear I saw it before

[frosty rampart]

it should be == for comparisons, but that looks right otherwise

[thorn ingot]

ooh, thanks

[daring fern]

No, it should be (G.GAME.round_resets.ante)%G.GAME.win_ante == 0 and G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= 2

[frosty rampart]

oh that doesn't work if the win ante is modified

but yea clover's original one doesn't work for finisher blinds in endless mode

[final jewel]

Yeah I saw that

[thorn ingot]

what does the % mean?

[frosty rampart]

it should be G.GAME.round_resets.ante % G.GAME.win_ante == 0 so that it works if the finisher blind appears in endless mode

[slim ferry]

% is remainder division

[thorn ingot]

wow, never seen that, let me try it

[wintry solar]

Oh this is cursed

[frosty rampart]

modulus, basically just remainder
if x % y == 0 then x is evenly divisible by y, which is the condition for finisher blinds to appear (in vanilla balatro that's antes 8, 16, 24, etc)

[thorn ingot]

I see, thanks.

[thorn ingot]

Also, thanks.

[final jewel]

thx @frosty rampart

[thorn ingot]

Guys... What's foiling my incredible rework?

SMODS.Stake:take_ownership('stake_blue', {
modifiers = function(self)
if (G.GAME.round_resets.ante)%G.GAME.win_ante == 0 and
G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= 2 then
G.GAME.modifiers.scaling == (G.GAME.modifiers.scaling or 1) * 1.5
end
})

It looks fine to me.

[frosty rampart]

you only have an end for the if statement, you need one for the function too

[thorn ingot]

I believe I had that before.

Yeah, just checked. It doesn't work too. 😭

[blazing helm]

you have == instead of = in G.GAME.modifiers.scaling == (G.GAME.modifiers.scaling or 1) * 1.5

also missing a end ya

[thorn ingot]

wow, that's what I needed.

Thanks.

[blazing helm]

no prob

[rapid stag]

and now i can't reproduce the issue under normal gameplay conditions at all

[thorn ingot]

May I ask how I could go on about changing it or improving this?
It doesn't seem to be quite working. It kind of gets ignored.

[hidden aspen]

chat, whats the difference between save_run() and G:save_progress()

[granite jay]

Cant rn, but it’s an enhancement with no special code

Think stone card but no chips

[daring fern]

Code?

[errant arrow]

if next(SMODS.find_card("j_TBC_joker1")) or next(SMODS.find_card("j_TBC_joker2")) == true then
                
end

am I overcomplicating my line of thought? can I just put math after the "true then" and then connect it to a variable?

[red flower]

if you want to see if you have one of those two jokers then that's correct except for the == true, next doesnt necessarily return a boolean

[slim ferry]

save_run saves just the current run

G:save_progress saves all progress

[errant arrow]

so the == true is redundant?

[slim ferry]

such as achievements and stuff

[red flower]

here it is wrong rather than redundant, but == true would be redundant in an if in most cases

[hidden aspen]

also i am setting my custom parameter in G.GAME, but it isnt being loaded on load 💔

[errant arrow]

i see

[red flower]

where is this and what is e.config.event_data

[hidden aspen]

e.config.event data is a custom table im passing on button press, i checked with print and its not null

[red flower]

what does the table have

[hidden aspen]

its an extended SMODS.GameObject, has stuff like key, name, etc

my own type

[slim ferry]

GameObjects cannot be saved

[thorn ingot]

    modifiers = function(self)
        if (G.GAME.round_resets.ante)%G.GAME.win_ante == 0 and
        G.GAME.round_resets.ante >= 2 then    
        G.GAME.modifiers.scaling = (G.GAME.modifiers.scaling or 1) * 2
       end 
  end 
})```

[slim ferry]

Afaik

[hidden aspen]

then i have to store its key

thanks

[red flower]

recursive tables wont be saved properly

[hidden aspen]

gotchu

[red flower]

same with functions

[daring fern]

modifiers is only called when the run starts.

[red flower]

ok i got side tracked by the badge colour thing instead of working on my mod

[clear ocean]

is there a reason why this error pops up, i even added "gros" as second argument just in case

here's the lua files

[red flower]

does any other process have that file open

[clear ocean]

outside of vscode(?)

[daring fern]

Why are you using pcall and assert?

[red flower]

do you have it opened in vscode on its own or did you open the folder

[clear ocean]

i think the folder option i can close out of vscode

[clear ocean]

error catching you can ask @modern kindle as he was the one that programmed it
