You should just return xchips without the message fyi

That does the message automatically

[fallen timber]

oh, it does? ok then

[slim ferry]

Also you shouldnt return the xchips in context.destroy_card since thats after scoring

[fallen timber]

is there a way to destroy a card as soon as it scores and then add xchips (if poker hand is empty afterwards)?

[slim ferry]

SMODS.destroy_cards(context.other_card) in context.individual

[fallen timber]

thank!

[timid zinc]

is there a way to "force" a card being held (e.g. by the cursor) to be unheld

[fallen timber]

sorry to bother, but how i should get all cards in currently playing poker hand? it sometimes gives me the [SMODS liroxfunstuff "jokers/jokers.lua"]:151: attempt to get length of field 'full_hand' (a nil value)

[red flower]

it doesnt exist in all contexts, where are you trying to get it?

[fallen timber]

right now if context.individual and not card.ability.extra.burnedcard then

[red flower]

then full_hand should work fine

[fallen timber]

it sometimes give me an error, and sometimes burns cards in main hand

[red flower]

do you have any other mods

[fallen timber]

qol mods, yahimod and cryptid

[red flower]

i would try without yahimod and cryptid to see if it does the same

[fallen timber]

k sure

[red flower]

it should always exist

also btw a couple of things in that code could be written with newer methods

for the return you can just return xchips
card_eval_status_text can be SMODS.calculate_effect({message = "message"}, card)
the pseudorandom check should use SMODS.pseudorandom_probability instead

[fallen timber]

ok it doesnt give an error but sometimes it deletes cards from the main hand, or even the rightmost from poker hand

[red flower]

ah wait

i see why

[fallen timber]

SMODS.pseudorandom_probability? like SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(1, 2) is 50% true?

[red flower]

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

[red flower]

do you want to destroy any card played or just scoring?

[fallen timber]

scoring be better

[red flower]

then add context.cardarea == G.play to the context check, this will solve the full hand issue too

[fallen timber]

mhm, noted

im guessing it would be like the cerulian bell blind?

i wasn't able to test it, but i bet that
forced_card.ability.forced_selection = true disables highlighting, so it can force deselection if its not highlighted through code (not sure though)
and use G.hand:remove_from_highlighted(card, true) to force unhighlight. may be enough to do it once like in the Cerulian Bell blind, may call it in some calculate

[timid zinc]

Ah

[fallen timber]

Uhh, is this supposed to happen?
main.lua:2438: [SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]:2722: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'denominator' (a nil value)
i use it in only 2 lines, in loc_vars: local num, denom = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, card.ability.extra.numerator, card.ability.extra.denominator)
and calculate: if ... and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, '1ue999', card.ability.extra.numerator, card.ability.extra.denominator) then

[red flower]

do you have a card.ability.extra.denominator?

[fallen timber]

config = { extra = { xchip = 1, xchipincrease = 0.1, xchipempty = 1.5, numerator = 1, denumerator = 2, burnedcard = false} },

[red flower]

you dont

[fallen timber]

ohh i typod it

i feel stupid

[timid zinc]

When i said card i meant like any sort of card not just the playing card variety and when you hold the mouse down and drag stuff around thats my bad

[red flower]

probably call card:stop_drag on it?

idk if it works

idk how to detect the card dragged either

[red flower]

G.CONTROLLER.dragging.target

[timid zinc]

Incredible

Never would've known

[hidden aspen]

some of the deck effects dont apply when i use

Back:apply_to_run()

in the first video i apply a blue deck but dont get an extra hand

and in the second video i apply nebula deck, only get the voucher and dont reduce my consumable slot amount

[red flower]

some decks change the starting_params and most of them are only applied at the start of run

like blue deck hands

[hidden aspen]

oh.

here in vremade both voucher and consumable slots are in config, for me its wierd that its doing one half but not the other? or is it because vremade isnt replicating original code 1 to 1 here

[red flower]

vremade doesnt always recreate code 1 to 1 but in this case it is exactly how its done in vanilla

but i dont see why both being in the config means anything, they might be applied in different ways

[hidden aspen]

i guess

i can try to replicate apply of discards and whatnots

[red flower]

yeah consumable slots use starting params while the vouchers are just added directly

[fallen timber]

apparently it doesnt?
return { Xchip_mod = card.ability.extra.xchip } and return { Xchip_mod = card.ability.extra.xchip, colour = G.C.CHIPS } doesnt do anything (no message nor chips)
but return { Xchip_mod = card.ability.extra.xchip, colour = G.C.CHIPS, message="a" } displays "a" and applies chips

[red flower]

xchips

not Xchip_mod

[hidden aspen]

i've looked through source code but i cant find anywhere where starting_parameters are used. like i see a lot of places where they get set, some places where they used for Challenge UI, but i dont see where it impacts the gameplay?????

[red flower]

Game:start_run

[fallen timber]

oh, why then mult works that way?

[red flower]

mult_mod will also not have a message

[fallen timber]

i mean Xmult_mod?

[red flower]

Xmult_mod will also not have a message
xmult (literal) will

[fallen timber]

k thank

[red flower]

also xchips accepts less variations so just Xchips doesnt work i think

xchips lowercase does

[fallen timber]

btw is SMODS.calculate_effect just return {} without ending the code?

[red flower]

yes

[fallen timber]

so i can add xchips to it, noted

[red flower]

yeah, although its not recommended for compatibility with other effects

like, post_trigger wont detect the xchips that way

[fallen timber]

i just shorten one of my joker's code like 3 times as much lol

[fallen timber]

hey btw is there more optimized way to find joker other than looping thru G.jokers.cards?

[red flower]

if next(SMODS.find_card("key")) then
i wouldnt say more optimixed because it basically just does that but its nicer

[fallen timber]

thanks!

[red flower]

why did it write butts

[fallen timber]

goofy autocorrect

[fallen timber]

what bout using the joker afterwards?

it appears it returns true or smth

[red flower]

SMODS.find_card returns a table of all the jokers

so SMODS.find_card("key")[1]

[fallen timber]

the main.lua:2438: functions/common_events.lua:919: attempt to index local 'card' (a number value)

[red flower]

pls post the full log

[fallen timber]

yea that works

[wintry solar]

As an actual answer, xchips has less valid keys because it’s a completely custom addition, if I could adjust the keys without regards to previous implementations, each one would only have one key

[hidden aspen]

my game.lua file was somehow deleted so i couldnt find this

[fallen timber]

Is there any way to "simulate" using a tarot/planet card (without it actually doing anything)? For example right before poker hand is played on my new blind?

[slim ferry]

wdym by simulate using a card

like calculating joker effects for using a consumable and stuff?

whats the point of manually changing G.GAME.round_resets.blind_ante alongside using ease_ante

[red flower]

iirc blinds dont update score correctly if you dont

in the select menu

[slim ferry]

i see

[fallen timber]

When you use a consumable, it plays animation of some sort (takes the card at the center of screen and shakes it a bit for some actions) and then burns it.
Im gonna do weapon cards (that remove some required score, add mult to next played hand, etc) and I want my custom blind use those cards against player

[slim ferry]

copy all the animation stuff from G.FUNCS.use_card probably

well all of it thats relevant for using a consumable

which is just this because everything after is for other button functionality

[acoustic drum]

dumb question, how do I change my mod's icon?

[fading rivet]

make an atlas with the name "modicon"

[acoustic drum]

Oh alr thanks

[fading rivet]

same dimensions as a tag

[fickle gust]

hey, small question here, what's the sandbox?
i've been digging through balatro's code and found a sandbox stage, is it just something from the game that has been renamed since then or is it cut content?
-# (i've just started learning lua, but from my understanding there seems to be a whole UI coded for it as well as a maybe button to spawn and remove jokers with various editions)

[slim ferry]

It definitely seems like a whole unused sandbox

Considering the spawn joker button and edition option cycle

[fickle gust]

damn that's really interesting

[slim ferry]

Ive never seen this before though

Pretty cool

[fickle gust]

is there anyway i could force the game to switch to stage 3 with a mod?

[fickle gust]

also if you wanna have a look at it yourself it's in the game.lua file at line 1270 (or just search for "sandbox" in whatever IDE you use i guess)

[slim ferry]

I wonder how possible it would be to restore it tbh

[fallen timber]

Is there any way to add something to event queue? i want to make a consumable that gives chips for next played hand (not right away but as soon as hand is played)

[fickle gust]

there's a lot of code around it so maybe it is possible out of the box, i'll try experimenting with it

I think G.STAGE = G.STAGES.SANDBOX should try to load the sandbox imma try

[slim ferry]

i mean the game normally does a big loading cut when changing between the existing stages

But maybe

[slim ferry]

Store the chips to add in some G.GAME value, then apply it and reset it in SMODS.current_mod.calculate if it exists and is greater than 0

[fickle gust]

or wait, is it possible to run lua instructions through the DebugPlus console?

[slim ferry]

It is

eval command

[fickle gust]

ty!

hmm

[slim ferry]

yeah thats just the returned value

Setting a value doesnt return anything so thats why it says nil

[fickle gust]

ah alr

doesn't seem to have done anything tho

ah nvm

pressing play crashed the game

[slim ferry]

But since it doesnt appear to do anything you might need to patch into the existing new run button to make it work somewhat properly

[fickle gust]

crash log^^

[slim ferry]

Though if you do that probably start a run on a new profile

Because idk what thatll do

[slim ferry]

I think this is it failing to get the current blind

Which makes sense

Or

[dreamy thunder]

there is a Game:sandbox() function it seems

[slim ferry]

Idk actually

[dreamy thunder]

but it doesnt work

[slim ferry]

Ah

[slim ferry]

current is usually something with an option cycle

I think

[dreamy thunder]

interesting to see thoguh

[fallen timber]

isnt that way it would just reset when i change hand type?

or where i should call SMODS.current_mod.calculate?

[slim ferry]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate gets called automatically

With other calculation events

It cant use context.joker_main though so youll probably have to use context.final_scoring_step or context.initial_scoring_step depending on what timing you want

[fallen timber]

i want it to add chips after the hand was submitted but before first card is scored

[slim ferry]

use intial_scoring_step then

That happens before all other scoring

[fallen timber]

Store the chips to add in some G.GAME value
about that, that can be any value? like G.GAME.nextchips?

[slim ferry]

yeah it can have any name

probably include your mod prefix somewhere though to avoid conflicts

[fallen timber]

ok where i place current_mod.calculate? after if context.intial_scoring_step then? then where should i place the context itself?

or other way around?

[slim ferry]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate is a global function so it should be defined outside of any other object

the context check should be inside the function

For reference its SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)

And it acts like a calculate function on any other object

[fallen timber]

OHH current_mod is my mod id

right?

[slim ferry]

no

SMODS.current_mod is a table that updates to whatever mod is currently being loaded

Which will always be your own mod when its loading

[fallen timber]

so i just set this in my mod's main lua file?

[slim ferry]

Yea

[fallen timber]

ok thanks!

Can consumables generate descriptions like jokers do?

[faint yacht]

Consumables can act like Jokers with calculate too.

[fallen timber]

so they are compatible with loc_vars?

[slim ferry]

They can use loc_vars yes

[fallen timber]

noted

[slim ferry]

And all the same return values work

Pretty much any object with localization has full loc_vars functionality

[mighty sky]

quick someone give me an image of a redneck hillbilly

no questions

[red flower]

#⚙・modding-off-topic ?

[mighty sky]

this is for a mod

[fallen timber]

SMODS.calculate_effect({chips=50}, card)
can this run without card? or is there any way to do it?

[red flower]

why

[fallen timber]

i want to run this right after player submits poker hand, but before first card scoring, i already have context but idk how to run calculate_effect without card

[red flower]

where is this? mod calculate?

why not return?

[fallen timber]

yes

[fallen timber]

wait it works that way?

[red flower]

yes

[fallen timber]

ok thank

[red flower]

by default the "card" is the top of the deck for mods

so if you want to recreate that with calc effect for some reason you can use that as the card

[slim ferry]

Or since youre doing this for a consumable effect, you could use G.consumeables as the "card" im pretty sure

which makes the message appear under the consumables area

And the consumables are box will jiggle

[fallen timber]

noted

[mighty sky]

yall is there a thing in joker forge that could make the card show text on the bottom of it

like fros michells extinct

but it can trigger when ever

[red flower]

?

i dont use this so idk if that works

[mighty sky]

oh

can i do multiple and it cycle through them randomly?

[red flower]

dunno

[fickle gust]

you can use the random function to play a different message yes

it's a bit of a convoluted method but it works

[twilit hearth]

chat did i cook with this artwork or is it ahh

[fickle gust]

i like the watch/timer but the dynamite(?) sticks behind are a bit wonky imo

probably because of the two pixel wide outlines and the shading

[fallen timber]

Make the seconds arrow spin lol

[fickle gust]

make the clock functional and synced to real time

[twilit hearth]

:o

[fallen timber]

Even better

[fickle gust]

also, random suggestion, but you could make it like an actual bomb you have in your joker's tray instead of a card representing a bomb you know?

would be cool imo

[twilit hearth]

my friend keeps telling me they look like sausages

[twilit hearth]

also what do you mean by this?

[fickle gust]

hmmm lemme think how to explain better..

[twilit hearth]

are you saying don't make it a joker and instead a different mechanic?

[fickle gust]

no no, like instead of the sprite representing a card that has a bomb drawn on it, you could make it an actual bomb that you use as a joker

[twilit hearth]

I think I get what you're saying

I like that idea

[fallen timber]

you gave me an idea lol

[fickle gust]

oh no

[fallen timber]

can i rotate sprites?

and make layered joker (multiple sprites w transparency)?

[fickle gust]

@slim ferry can we pwease gwet sowme helwp on twhis pwease

-# i'm too bad at modding to help himm

[slim ferry]

you can use the draw function for that i suppose

And for extra sprite layers you can use a drawstep

[fickle gust]

alr imma put this here then:
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DrawStep

[fallen timber]

k thank

[hidden aspen]

i have a question about Back:trigger_effect and calculate

here return just returns one dictionary

[slim ferry]

trigger_effect is just wierd vanilla stuff

[slim ferry]

Im assuming it returns things differently

[hidden aspen]

but here it unpacks an array??

[slim ferry]

well no

it puts the returned table into another table

then unpacks that table

if it isnt empty (so if anything was returned)

[hidden aspen]

like this is (o) before unpacking

[slim ferry]

Yeah

So thats { { balance = true } }

[hidden aspen]

oh wait it does put it into a table

why would they do that

[slim ferry]

🤷

[umbral zodiac]

probably so that if you rreturn something like
return {balance = true}, 1
it gets turned into {{balance = true}, 1}
the reasoning behind that is beyond me but that's how unpacking tables works so

[fallen timber]

can anyone remind me of context after cards scored but before jokers scoring?

[slim ferry]

that does not exist

[fallen timber]

hm? after last card scored perhaps?

[fickle gust]

chat what do you think about a "squish and stretch" joker
-# i have no idea what it'll do tho

[twilit hearth]

i love him

[fallen timber]

funny fella

[slim ferry]

face lift mario party

[fallen timber]

?

[slim ferry]

isnt that

the same thing

[fallen timber]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slim ferry]

nothing is calculated between playing card and joker scoring

[fallen timber]

sad

[fallen timber]

does current_mod.calculate executes before or after joker calculation

[slim ferry]

though you can just patch in a context calculation in between if you want

idk when mod calculate runs tbh

but it doesnt ever get calculated with joker_main anyway

[fickle gust]

ok so i haven't followed any of the conversation about the issue, but can't you like idk, put it as a joker effect that triggers first if what you want is to trigger between played cards and jokers?

-# nvm i used my braincell and read

[fallen timber]

ok another idea: how do i check if scoring card is the last one?

[slim ferry]

context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand]

[fallen timber]

thanks!

[slim ferry]

though

[slim ferry]

if you need between playing cards and jokers i do recommend doing this

[fallen timber]

last card is enough for me

i can just make local ret and in addition to per_card add xmult and xchips

and return this

[slim ferry]

if im understanding correctly yeah you can

[fallen timber]

yes you are understanding correctly

[slim ferry]

+= is not a thing in lua

fyi

[fallen timber]

oh right

i forgor

[slim ferry]

also any values not in G.GAME arent saved with the run

[wintry solar]

What is this effect supposed to do?

[urban wasp]

is there a list of every color in G.C.?

[fallen timber]

its fine, i reset it as soon as joker scores

dont need it afterwards

[slim ferry]

the code

[umbral zodiac]

see: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1477509704874852534

[slim ferry]

search for self.C in the source code

or that

[fallen timber]

also, can anyone point on what am i missing here?
[SMODS _ "src/utils.lua"]:228: Attempted to insert object "c_liroxfunstuff_weapon_stick" into an empty pool.

        }

        return G.GAME.blind.in_blind
    end
})

[slim ferry]

missing set parameter for the consumable type

[fallen timber]

what should i set it to?

[slim ferry]

well the key of whatever consumable type it should be

[fallen timber]

should it contain mod prefix?

[slim ferry]

no

[fallen timber]

k

[fallen timber]

about this

SMODS.ObjectType({
    key = "weapons",
    default = "c_liroxfunstuff_weapon_stick",
    cards = {
    },
})

do i really need to set true for every weapon card?

[slim ferry]

no

[fallen timber]

so it does it automatically

[slim ferry]

you do set = "weapons" in the consumable

[fallen timber]

alr got it

[slim ferry]

also it should be a SMODS.ConsumableType

[fallen timber]

k thanks

[slim ferry]

oh wait also a consumable type needs a primary_colour (does nothing but is required) and a secondary_colour (the actual colour it uses)

[fallen timber]

ok so how do i make custom color that it can use? G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.WEAPON_PRIMARY = HEX('e62314') isnt working for it it seems

[slim ferry]

secondary_colour = HEX("e62314") in the definition

and the colour for use in text is added automatically

[fallen timber]

alr k

the description is empty, i wonder why

[slim ferry]

do you have a localization file entry or a loc_txt for it

[hybrid shadow]

what's your localized text setup look like

[fallen timber]

i dont

it seems i should

[slim ferry]

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

[fallen timber]

ty

also it seems chips are applying but after any change they are gone

function apply_weapon(extra)
    for k, v in pairs(extra) do
        Lirox.weapons[k] = Lirox.weapons[k] and Lirox.weapons[k] + v
    end
end

function reset_weapons()
    Lirox.weapons = {
        chips = 0, mult = 0, xchips = 1, xmult = 1, dollars = 0,
        percard_chips = 0, percard_mult = 0, percard_xchips = 0, percard_xmult = 0, percard_dollars = 0
    }
end

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.intial_scoring_step then
        return {
            chips = Lirox.weapons.chips,
            mult = Lirox.weapons.mult,
            dollars = Lirox.weapons.dollars,
        }
    end
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play then
        local ret = {
            chips = Lirox.weapons.percard_chips,
            mult = Lirox.weapons.percard_mult,
            xchips = Lirox.weapons.percard_xchips,
            xmult = Lirox.weapons.percard_xmult,
            dollars = Lirox.weapons.percard_dollars,
        }
        if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand] then
            ret.xchips = ret.xchips + Lirox.weapons.xchips
            ret.xmult = ret.xmult + Lirox.weapons.xmult
        end
        reset_weapons()
        return ret
    end
end

same for mult

also i placed reset weapons in the wrong place lol

yea, even per_card mult/chips are reseting on any change

[slim ferry]

yeah youre resetting it when any playing card scores currently

[fallen timber]

i placed reset at the if context.other_card == context.scoring_hand[#context.scoring_hand] then
but the issue prob isnt in the reset_weapons(), it should only reset temporary stats

the issue persists even with SMODS.calculate_effect({}, context.other_card)

i can send a vid

[twilit hearth]

im running into this issue where I cannot get my joker animated for the life of me

I have my sprite sheet with all the frames but something is just not working

[slim ferry]

is the atlas set as an animation atlas

[twilit hearth]

it is just set as SMODS.Atlas

[slim ferry]

it should have atlas_table = "ANIMATION_ATLAS" for animated sprites

[twilit hearth]

no way it was that easy of a fix

stand by

wow

thank you i cant believe it was that easy

[upbeat oracle]

I've beeninterested in making balatro mods for a bit now, does anyone know of any way I can do it.

[fallen timber]

this is gonna assist you on the way https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki the first bit of this tells you pretty much everything

oh

yeah

[twilit hearth]

Yess that one is the one ive been following. its helping a lot

[upbeat oracle]

Thanks a lot

[fallen timber]

its dangerous to go alone
take this

[versed swan]

Don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have (after reading the VanillaRemade wiki)

[upbeat oracle]

ok I will thanks

[fallen timber]

uhh?

[fickle gust]

question here, how do other mods achieve the effect of only spawning certain jokers?

[twilit hearth]

I cannot figure out how to get this joker to stop dancing around like this. It has a very specific trigger and shouldn't be dancing whenever a card is scored (especially because it's not triggering when a card is being scored)

[fallen timber]

uhh go check its source code ig

[twilit hearth]

ok maybe dont download that

idk why it sent like that

[fickle gust]

oh yeah i'm a dumbass ty

[urban wasp]

how could i add a color to G.C? would i just do like

G.C.bof_appetizers = HEX("123456")

[fallen timber]

G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS.color = HEX('FFFFFF')

replace .color with your desired id

[slim ferry]

do not do that

without calling loc_colour() first at least

[fallen timber]

right

[slim ferry]

also it only needs to be in G.ARGS.LOC_COLOURS if youre going to use it in descriptions

[urban wasp]

which i'm not

[slim ferry]

usually its best to have it in both G.C and there too

[urban wasp]

i'm using it for the background of a checkbox

[fallen timber]

then only add loc_colour() it seems

[urban wasp]

elaborate?

[fallen timber]

or idk, not an expert

[urban wasp]

okay

[fickle gust]

okay they just look for "mult" in the joker description essentially lol

[urban wasp]

wing gaster

[fallen timber]

indeed

[urban wasp]

also G.C.GREY exists

[fallen timber]

noted

[urban wasp]

remember, while everything in-game is supposed to be the american version of stuff (hence, en-us), pretty much everything internally is canadian since localthunk is such

[tidal hemlock]

canadian english is the same as british english btw

i think at least

it might be american english words with british english spellings

[urban wasp]

yeah i know

[sturdy monolith]

getting somewhere with this content manager revamp

[urban wasp]

though some things are just flat-out misspelled internally like caino and selzer

[slim ferry]

heirophant

consumeable

[urban wasp]

consumeable is such a big one lol

[slim ferry]

uhh showman is ring_master but thats probably just an old name

[tidal hemlock]

ok so i looked it up and canadian english is british english spellings and BOTH british and american english vocabularies

[frosty dock]

gluttenous joker

[urban wasp]

yea

[slim ferry]

also true

[urban wasp]

was about to say

[frosty dock]

yeah showman was called Ring master in the demo

[tidal hemlock]

which is one word btw

[urban wasp]

modded ring master joker that's just a direct copy of showman when

[tidal hemlock]

ringmaster

[frosty dock]

oh right, it was

[urban wasp]

i know it's one word, but it'd be funnier if it was still two

[tidal hemlock]

Ring Master, Lord Master of the Rings

[urban wasp]

[frosty dock]

Mrs Bones when

[urban wasp]

mrs. bones in balatro plus

[tidal hemlock]

when lady luck makes it ig

[slim ferry]

it kinda does something

when using the proper function

it seems more like for testing title screen stuff though i think?

[urban wasp]

interesting

[fickle gust]

oh wow

[slim ferry]

it does create a ui but

the vortex goes wierd

and stops spinning

its just a static background

i didnt actually test any of the buttons tbh

[fickle gust]

i saw some code that created jokers with specific editions and stuff

try to put a joker key in to see

(probably crashes cuz there's no joker tray)

[slim ferry]

it did work

it just created a floating card that could be dragged anywhere

[urban wasp]

it's just not emplaced then

or at least failed to

[slim ferry]

also the size slider did work but when i made a very big jimbo it couldnt be dragged and i couldnt press any buttons anymore

[urban wasp]

lol

[fickle gust]

lol

[dapper sun]

[twilit hearth]

messing around with a joker that removes cards. Looks like the game thinks the card is still there

Any ideas?

[slim ferry]

how are you destroying the card

[twilit hearth]

start_dissolve() i believe

like the hanged man cards

except its not actually destroying the card. only making it invisible?

[fading rivet]

you have the card selected still

you should only be able to select 4 cards, right?

[red flower]

try using SMODS.destroy_cards

also check this one, not the one in the game files https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/f1cc39c18475a3aa866817d579caefb6a53dca40/src/tarots.lua#L752

[fickle gust]

isn't start_dissolve() just for the animation?
like the card is still there just the burn animation as played and ended

but the card still exists

[urban wasp]

i believe so

[twilit hearth]

thats what I was thinking too. I need to actually destroy the card

[slim ferry]

it does also remove the card

[urban wasp]

yeah just look at this

[urban wasp]

oh nevermind then

[slim ferry]

but everything that should happen when a playing card is removed isnt done automatically with start_dissolve

[fallen timber]

uhh anyone?

[red flower]

no it actually does destroy it, but it sometimes leaves ghost cards if you don't call it properly so destroy_cards solves that sometimes

[past spade]

cards I create with
SMODS.add_card { set = "Base", rank = ranks[i], enhancement = "m_wild", area = G.deck }
don't seem to have a texture until I save, quit and reopen the run. Is there some additional function that needs to be run?

[red flower]

smods bug

[wintry solar]

just a (already fixed on dev) bug, you can do ```lua
local c = SMODS.add_card({set = 'Base', rank = ranks[i], area = G.deck})
c:set_ability('m_wild')

to circumvent for now iirc

[twilit hearth]

Thank you!! I was able to figure it out. It also made the animation of the cards being destroyed + joker being triggered a lot smoother too

[mighty sky]

yall in joker forge how do i give a joker obelisk like properties?

[slim ferry]

ask the joker forge discord

[fickle gust]

in joker forge you have copies of all vanilla joker to see and copy

[mighty sky]

ahh

[fickle gust]

question again, how do mods add a card to the title screen? (like entropy)

[dapper sun]

if you're using the latest smods release you can uhhh

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-edit-the-main-menu this

[dapper sun]

SMODS.current_mod.menu_cards = function ()
    return {
        key = "j_joker",
        no_edition = true
    }
end```

[fickle gust]

ty you both!

[dapper sun]

yw

[urban wasp]

the second if doesn't trigger (and frankly idk if i'm doing the "remove all modifications" right anyway); why?

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
    if context.initial_scoring_step then
        for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
            if v ~= context.card then
                v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS[v.base.suit .. "_" .. v.base.rank])
                v:juice_up()
            end
        end
        return {
            message = "Erased!"
        }
    end
end

[sturdy monolith]

could someone help me with the buggy ass UI i made for my mods content manager?
every time i change the category or page the entire manager UI does whatever the fuck is happening in the screenshot

[frosty dock]

you're mixing up fronts and centers, there's no center with the key you're specifying. the unenhanced center is c_base. Also I don't think context.card exists here?

[sturdy monolith]

nvm i got it

[urban wasp]

ok cool i basically just copied from cryptid's vacuum is all so

[urban wasp]

well, it displays the message, but no cards are actually "erased"

if context.initial_scoring_step then
    for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
        if BundlesOfFun.nil_check("v.base.rank") then
            v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
            v:juice_up()
        end
    end
    return {
        message = "Erased!"
    }
end

oh btw nil_check just returns v and v.base and v.base.rank

[frosty dock]

how would it do that, it doesn't have access to v

and v.base.rank will never exist

[urban wasp]

no?

[frosty dock]

it's v.base.value

[urban wasp]

okay then

[urban wasp]

oh 😭

[wintry solar]

you don't need that check at all

[urban wasp]

ok i just like making sure i don't crash to nil values

[frosty dock]

still how would it do that

you're passing the string "v.base.rank"

[fickle gust]

yet another question, how can i copy the ability of a random joker?
-# i've looked at the code for cryptid's speculo, but i really don't understand it

here's the code i don't understand btw

[tidal hemlock]

basically scan through all jokers once to find those with blueprint compat, then generate a random number and scan though all of those to find the correct one to blueprint

that's how i would do it anyway

[hybrid shadow]

are the game settings stored in a way i can modify mid-run?

[tidal hemlock]

i think only game speed can do that but idk

[fickle gust]

ok tell me if i'm correct:

this scans for blueprint compatible jokers:

                if G.jokers.cards[i].ability.name ~= card.ability.name and G.jokers.cards[i].ability.set == "Joker" then
                    eligibleJokers[#eligibleJokers + 1] = G.jokers.cards[i]
                end```

And this picks a random one and duplicates it(?):
```G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        local card = copy_card(pseudorandom_element(eligibleJokers, pseudoseed("cry_speculo")), nil)
                        card:set_edition({ negative = true }, true)
                        card:add_to_deck()
                        G.jokers:emplace(card)
                        return true
                    end,
                }))
                card_eval_status_text(
                    context.blueprint_card or card,
                    "extra",
                    nil,
                    nil,
                    nil,
                    { message = localize("k_duplicated_ex") }
                )```

[red flower]

do you want to copy the ability or the card itself?

because that seems to be doing the latter

[fickle gust]

the ability, i took example on speculo because that's the only "random joker effect" joker i know

[tidal hemlock]

i think speculo creates a copy of the joker, not copies its effects

[fickle gust]

yeah ik

[frosty dock]

yes, you just need to take care of saving them

[fickle gust]

i just don't know any other modded jokers that have an effect that picks a random joker

[red flower]

i know there are effects that do this but it's not straightforward
maybe look at pinkprint from ortalab

that doesn't do a random joker however but i think picking a joker is the easy part, copying a joker not-in-play is the hardest

[hybrid shadow]

oh do they not actually save if you try and modify them on their own

[fickle gust]

oh well i just want it to copy when a hand is played, picking a random joker passively would be annoying/weird(?) to implement

[frosty dock]

run data saves automatically every so often, settings don't. you have to call save_settings whenever you change something. normally this is done when you exit a settings menu, so you'd need to call it yourself if you're changing settings somewhere or sometime else

[red flower]

blueprint doesnt copy passive abilities anyway

[hybrid shadow]

alr thx, do you know where the actual settings are stored off-hand

[urban wasp]

erm one more question:
i put the remove modification stuff in an event so that it and the message trigger at the same time, but now if, say, a red seal is held in hand, it'll still be retriggered by the other effect

calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not context.end_of_round then
        return {
            mult = card.ability.extra.mult
        }
    end
    if context.before then
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            func = function()
                for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                    if v.base.value then
                        v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base)
                        v:set_edition(nil)
                        v:set_seal(nil)
                        v:juice_up()
                    end
                end
                return true
            end
        }))
        return {
            message = "Erased!"
        }
    end
end

[frosty dock]

G.SETTINGS in code, settings.jkr for the file it gets written to. I can't tell which one you mean

[hybrid shadow]

i just wanted to know what the variables were, knowing where they're stored is all i need to find them

[fickle gust]

local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[1], context)
        if ret then
            ret.colour = G.C.RED
        end

okay so this copies the joker in slot 1, how do i make the slot random tho?

[frosty dock]

create a list of all viable jokers (check if they're compatible), then run that through pseudorandom_element

[red flower]

ah now i understand lol
you can copy what speculo does yeah, but you need to add a blueprint compat check like aure said

[fickle gust]

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        if card.area and card.area == G.jokers then
            local compatible = G.jokers.cards[1] and G.jokers.cards[1] ~= card and
                G.jokers.cards[1].config.center.blueprint_compat
            local main_end = {
                {
                    n = G.UIT.C,
                    config = { align = "bm", minh = 0.4 },
                    nodes = {
                        {
                            n = G.UIT.C,
                            config = { ref_table = card, align = "m", colour = compatible and mix_colours(G.C.GREEN, G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.8) or mix_colours(G.C.RED, G.C.JOKER_GREY, 0.8), r = 0.05, padding = 0.06 },
                            nodes = {
                                { n = G.UIT.T, config = { text = ' ' .. localize('k_' .. (compatible and 'compatible' or 'incompatible')) .. ' ', colour = G.C.UI.TEXT_LIGHT, scale = 0.32 * 0.8 } },
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return { main_end = main_end }
        end
    end

so that's a blueprint compat check?

[red flower]

the local compatible line is

[daring fern]

Yes, you're removing the seal in an event, so the card would still have the seal during scoring.

[urban wasp]

any way to not have that happen? if it's not in an event, the message will be greatly delayed

[frosty dock]

set_ability has a second param to let you delay the sprite change

the others do too, iirc

so use that and not an event

[fickle gust]

wait what's a blueprint incompatible joker that would crash or cause weird stuff if it got blueprinted?

(to test)

[frosty dock]

it wouldn't crash

SMODS.blueprint_effect just does nothing when the card isn't compatible

[fickle gust]

ah okay, perfect then, i just need to figure out randomness now
-# *cries in 1 day old lua programmer*

[frosty dock]

that part is easy

you just do pseudorandom_element(tbl, "whatever") where tbl is the table of compatible cards and whatever is some unique randomness seed

[fickle gust]

alr i'll try that tomorrow

ty!

[tidal hemlock]

thoughts?

[versed swan]

<@&1133519078540185692> spam bot invite link

[rapid stag]

sanity check, context.full_hand exists in current_mod.calculate, right?

[slim ferry]

yes

Not everything gets calculated in every context but objects dont just randomly get less of a context than others

[frosty dock]

context.full_hand only exists in the contexts where it does

[urban wasp]

true…

[slim ferry]

i guess bro

[frosty dock]

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't.....

[pale rampart]

i still don't know how to make my custom consumable's rate bigger i suck at coding please help me lads

[red flower]

is it a custom consumable or a vanilla tarot/planet/spectral?

[long sun]

what does this part of Invisible Joker's loc_vars do?

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        local main_end = {}
        if G.jokers and G.jokers.cards then
            for _, joker in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
                if joker.edition and joker.edition.negative then
                    localize { type = 'other', key = 'remove_negative', nodes = main_end, vars = {} }
                    break
                end
            end
        end
        return { vars = { card.ability.extra.total_rounds, card.ability.extra.invis_rounds }, main_end = main_end[1] }
    end,```

[pale rampart]

custom

[red flower]

you can add a shop_rate = number to the ConsumableType
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.ObjectType

[pale rampart]

nono i mean like change it like the spectral deck

[slim ferry]

use get_weight

[red flower]

if you have a negative joker it adds "removes negative from copy" to the description

[slim ferry]

return some number if the deck is selected

[long sun]

ohhhhhh i see

[slim ferry]

Instead of 0

[long sun]

clever!

[red flower]

it is also described in the same place in the docs: G.GAME.[consumable type key in lowercase]_rate = number

[past spade]

having some weird behaviours with negative playing cards, in the deck screen, the negative shader doesnt render for the first negative card of each suit. And every time I open the deck screen each negative card animates and plays a wooshing sound. Is this bugged or just unsupported?

[pale rampart]

oooh i had to do it in lowercase, i was doing it with the normal consumable name which has caps , thanks alot dude it worked

[past spade]

the wooshing stopped when closing and re-entering the run, but the visuals are still bugged in the deck screen

wait a second the deck function uses copy_card, I see how I caused this now

[hidden aspen]

I want to randomize card's suit and rank. how i get poll them?

SMODS.change_base(v, random suit??, random rank?)

I know there are SMODS.Ranks and SMODS.Suits but i forgot how to select a random element of a dictionary thats not a center

[mystic river]

i think you can just pseudorandom element (smods ranks, seed)

that will return a random rank object, which you can get the key from in the normal way i think

[hidden aspen]

right i forgot about pseudorandom element thank you

what the heck

i've never seen assert in any balatro related codebase yet

[red flower]

vanillaremade uses it! https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/f1cc39c18475a3aa866817d579caefb6a53dca40/src/spectrals.lua#L354

[hidden aspen]

okay i made a behemoth of a lua function

its able to apply a deck during the run, because back:apply_to_run() sometimes only changes the starting parameters

[slim ferry]

Have you ever looked at deck redeeming functionality from hit library mod Spectrallib

[hidden aspen]

you've gotta be kidding me

[red flower]

i would have told u if i knew lmao

[hidden aspen]

wait whats spectrallib

i couldnt find it just by searching it up

[red flower]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Spectrallib/

[hidden aspen]

actually i looked at it and i dont see exact implementation of what i need

also they have a list of vanilla decks as far as i see? and mine should work with modded decks as well

[red flower]

are you looking at the correct file?

because it looks pretty generic to me

[hidden aspen]

i looked "back" through the codebase

maybe i havent found it

[red flower]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Spectrallib/blob/main/Entropy/deck_redeeming.lua

[past spade]

ankh doesnt properly remove negative from jokers it copies, I assume this is a smods thing because the only mod I have enabled is debugplus. Is this a known issue?

[red flower]

not an issue ive heard about

i would report it

[past spade]

it removes negative but they still have +1 card limit as ability

[red flower]

yeah i think some things broke with abilities

maybe it is fixed in dev but reporting it doesn't hurt

[hidden aspen]

yeah i think it works for its usecase, but it doesnt support custom calculates and checks for ability name of default jokers

[red flower]

looking at the code it seems to support custom calculates?

[hidden aspen]

am i blind

is this it

[red flower]

yes

kinda janky that it's not sending a deck object but yes

[hidden aspen]

okay i see it

i was tooting my horn a little too much

[twilit hearth]

how we feeling about this artwork? thoughts?

[pale rampart]

it's cool but try to make it with other colors

[twilit hearth]

what part? the whole thing?

[pale rampart]

the shadows

dark colors

[twilit hearth]

the shadows under the crane? i adjusted them like this as a test

[pale rampart]

no as in use other color tones not make it darker

[dapper sun]

how do i canvassprite on joker cards

[twilit hearth]

are you asking how to do custom artwork for jokers?

[dapper sun]

no???

i said canvassprite

as in the new thing added in the latest smods release

that i don't think has any documentation

nvmd i found it

[twilit hearth]

Oh my fault I have no idea what that is

[dapper sun]

it is a new feature

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/1501a#smodscanvassprite

okay i still dunno how to use this outside of text

[shy cobalt]

how do i create a mod

im tryna make a custom jokr that acts as the default joker for now

but it ckeeps crashing

[frosty rampart]

you should update smods to the latest release version (1503a), and then post your code file here

[wanton jolt]

you forgot stuff

in your code

notably an end to your function

[frosty rampart]

that's still not the latest release version (click on the releases in the sidebar on github, don't download the green code button)

and then pleeeease actually post the code file so i can read it and properly help you

[shy cobalt]

the main.lua?

[rapid stag]

remind me what the check was to see if an enhancement removes a card's rank and suit? like stone

[red flower]

SMODS.has_no_rank/suit

[wanton jolt]

the code your joker is in i suppose

[shy cobalt]

also the rror says moded version ???

[twilit hearth]

I had Steamodded and smods both downloaded and that was causing me to crash upon launch. I deleted smods and now I only have steamodded downloaded and that has not given me any issues

@shy cobalt

[frosty rampart]

that is not helpful for pikaquin's case, the crash is unrelated to that

[twilit hearth]

ah I see

it looks like the config function is missing entirely for the joker to work in the first place

[frosty rampart]

also not relevant

config is optional

[twilit hearth]

actually??

man I should probably just stay out of this then lmao

[pale rampart]

guys help me i genuinely don't know what's happening, from what i know it's just my deck's code

[red flower]

atlas is missing a )

or you can also delete the (

[shy cobalt]

where

[red flower]

delete that
also the path should be just the filename

[frosty rampart]

I'm crashing out my discord is crashing constantly
anyway yes that

[red flower]

crowdfunding meta a new computer

[frosty rampart]

for the second crash you posted, it's probably related to installing smods incorrectly

i see

it works now

[pale rampart]

i fixed it i was missing a singular } and some } ) placement fixes

[dapper sun]

?????

love.graphics.newImage("assets/extra_images/wordle_back.png")

[red flower]

im pretty sure that doesnt look for your mod's folder

any reason youre not using an atlas?

[dapper sun]

canvassprite

[red flower]

it doesnt let you use an image from an atlas?

[dapper sun]

it's actual love2d drawing

like,, regular ass love2d

[red flower]

well that doesnt really answer my question, its not like balatro objects are in some other engine

[dapper sun]

idk how to draw atlas sprites

[red flower]

G.ASSET_ATLAS["modprefix_key"].image seems to be a love.graphics.newImage

[dapper sun]

then there's all that extra stuff

i only need the image

[red flower]

??

[dapper sun]

wdym "??"

[red flower]

what do you mean extra stuff

[dapper sun]

an asset atlas contains more than just the image

[red flower]

like a key and 2 numbers?

[dapper sun]

still

i don't need it in the atlas table

[red flower]

ok

[urban wasp]

i tried but it still activates much before the message:

for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
    if v.base.value then
        v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, true)
        v:set_edition(nil, true)
        v:set_seal(nil, true)
        v:juice_up()
    end
end
return {
    message = "Erased!"
}

[daring fern]

Try putting it in a func in the return.

[urban wasp]

hmm it still activates afterward

return {
    message = "Erased!",
    extra = {
        func = function()
            for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
                if v.base.value then
                    v:set_ability(G.P_CENTERS.c_base, true)
                    v:set_edition(nil, true)
                    v:set_seal(nil, true)
                    v:juice_up()
                end
            end
            return true
        end
    }
}

here i'll record a clip

[daring fern]

Move it out of the extra

[urban wasp]

oh ok

[daring fern]

Also it should be v:set_ability('c_base', nil, true)

[urban wasp]

okie dokie

[daring fern]

And v:set_edition(nil, nil, nil, true) and v:set_seal(nil)

Also the juice_up should be in an event.

[urban wasp]

what even are these inputs anyway

[urban wasp]

gotcha 😭

[rapid stag]

is G.GAME initialised in Game:start_run()?

[urban wasp]

ok i like how everything looks now timing-wise (including all of them juicing at once), but the modification removal seems to activate at different times

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[rapid stag]

i'm finally tackling the cardarea implementation i want to do, but i only want specific decks to have the new cardarea; i already know i need to check G.GAME.selected_back_key.key for my custom deck key, which means, i need to do that check which determines whether that cardarea is initialised or not - but i don't know where in my hook i should be making this check. i'm assuming immediately following when i call the original start_run func

[urban wasp]

return {
    message = "Erased!",
    func = function()
        for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
            if v.base.value then
                v:set_ability("c_base", nil, true)
                v:set_edition(nil, nil, true)
                v:set_seal(nil)
                v:juice_up()
            end
        end
        return true
    end
}

putting the juice in an event made everything go left-to-right, and, while i like it, i'd want the removal to happen on every juice instead of all of them getting removed and then the juice happening afterwards since that seems to be what happened

[red flower]

theres a new function that has the correct timing for areas

SMODS.current_mod.custom_card_areas = function(game)

[rapid stag]

oh right

[red flower]

iirc the deck should exist by then

[daring fern]

You missed a nil on v:set_edition

[rapid stag]

so i can just do the check in that function?

[red flower]

i think so

[urban wasp]

my preferred timing for everything is:
card 1 in hand gets all of its modifications removed and gets juiced, all at the same time -> card 2 has the same -> card 3 has the same -> ... -> card (last one) has the same -> joker returns my message

oh uh current code btw

return {
    message = "Erased!",
    func = function()
        for k, v in ipairs(G.hand.cards) do
            if v.base.value then
                v:set_ability("c_base", nil, true)
                v:set_edition(nil, nil, nil, true)
                v:set_seal(nil)
                G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                    func = function()
                        v:juice_up()
                        return true
                    end
                }))
            end
        end
        return true
    end
}

[daring fern]

Yes, if you want the seals to be removed on time you have to hook SMODS.DrawSteps.seal.func

[urban wasp]

copium

what about eraser's message triggering before all the other things?

i assume that's an easy fix somehow

[daring fern]

Put the message in an extra

[rapid stag]

oh right, will the func add it to evaluation or do i still need to patch that myself

[red flower]

it will not

[rapid stag]

does declaring an SMODS.ObjectType prefix the modprefix to the specified key?

[red flower]

no

[rapid stag]

it's SMODS.Back for adding custom decks, yes?

[oblique lotus]

How can I re-enable the Jimbo tutorial?

[daring fern]

G.SETTINGS.tutorial_complete = false

[oblique lotus]

Thank you

[rapid stag]

is the game in this func the same as G.GAME? or is it G and i need to do game.GAME to get that

[red flower]

it is G i just named it game because i couldnt think of a better name and i didnt want to use G

that was copied from my mod

[oblique lotus]

Okay, I did eval G.SETTINGS.tutorial_complete = false into the console and got < nil as a result. For what I can tell, it isn't enabled? I got a couple of additional mods on (as well as debug plus to type it) if it is of concern.

[rapid stag]

that's just what dbp returns whenever you do a set in eval

you can check it by just doing eval G.SETTINGS.tutorial_complete

[oblique lotus]

Checked it, it is still true for some reason. Hopefully it isn't one of my mods

[rapid stag]

i forget if there's something specific you need to do to change a G.SETTINGS var

[daring fern]

Try also doing G.SETTINGS.tutorial_progress = nil

[vital wren]

im interested in doing two things:

1. having the visual of a joker change based on some game information (to do list showing the current hand, castle showing the current suit, loyalty card showing how many more uses, etc)

2. having specific instances of cards have unique localized text based on game states (jokers, planets, or tarots having different text if they have an edition for example)

any good examples of things like this i should check out to learn how to do it?

[fallen topaz]

can someone playtest my mod?

[daring fern]

1: https://github.com/SpectralPack/Aura
2: Hook generate_card_ui

[fickle gust]

why is there a SpectralPack library for everything 😭

[frosty dock]

Aura isn't a library, it's a project to animate all cards in the game. It does what you're asking and you can use that code

for your other question, loc_vars is usually good enough as you can return a key to completely change the text to a different localization key

[fickle gust]

-# i'm not the person who asked the question btw

-# but good to know ty!

[frosty dock]

good catch, I replied wrong

[frosty dock]

.

[vital wren]

i dont follow how i would do that

[frosty dock]

what part's unclear?

[fickle gust]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        local compatible = G.jokers.cards[1] and G.jokers.cards[1] ~= card and
                G.jokers.cards[1].config.center.blueprint_compat
        
        local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[pseudorandom_element(compatible, "seed")], context)
        if ret then
            ret.colour = G.C.RED
        end
        return ret
    end

am i doing this wrong? (probably yes)
this crashes when another joker is added

[wanton jolt]

do you want to change the vanilla jokers or do you want to change your joker

because you could just return a variable and change the sprite

[frosty dock]

pseudorandom_element already returns the card

no need to index that on G.jokers.cards

[vital wren]

i think my first question will have plenty of resources thanks to aura

[wanton jolt]

i suppose so

[vital wren]

thanks though

[frosty dock]

Also you need to actually create a list of the joker's that are compatible

not just copy the check if the leftmost card is

[wanton jolt]

what are you trying to do

blueprint?

[fickle gust]

trying to make a joker that when hand played, copies a random joker that is blueprint compatible

[frosty dock]

something like

local compatible = {}
for _,v in ipairs(G.jokers.cards) do
  if condition then
    compatible[#compatible+1] = v
  end
end

Also you should consider not randomly selecting the joker every time something gets calculated, that produces wonky results

[wanton jolt]

dont forget to check for other_joker.config.center.blueprint_compat

[frosty dock]

you should select one joker at the start of the hand and refer back to that until the end of the hand

[frosty dock]

I don't think that's too helpful, the part they're trying to solve rn is randomly selecting the joker

[wanton jolt]

ain't that to copy a joker card?

wait what's the effect of this joker?

-# would help in understanding the code

[frosty dock]

that's creating a copy of a joker

what's happening here is copying the effect of a joker, blueprint-style

[fickle gust]

oh wait can't i copy invis joker's random joker select?

[frosty dock]

two caveats, the selected joker needs to be blueprint-compatible, and you want to copy the same joker for a full hand/round

[fickle gust]

-# not for a full round, just for a hand

[frosty dock]

yeah but those are quite similar in effect

[daring fern]

Yes, but in their example, the card wouldn't have to be from their mod.

[frosty dock]

that matters how?

[hidden aspen]

bello

[daring fern]

loc_vars on an edition can't be used to change what the card it's on's description is.

yeah, but loc_vars on the card can. I'd assume an edition can't provide altered descriptions for every card?

            return ret
        end
    end

imma jump off a bridge why doesn't this workkkk

no crash, just does nothing

[daring fern]

It's because you're only copying the effect on context.hand_drawn

[fickle gust]

tysm it works now!

[wanton jolt]

whoops yeah

oversight

[fickle gust]

sorry to bother ya but i got a quesion again so i've switched context.hand_drawn to context.joker_main, and it works great for jokers that trigger in joker_main like Joker but it can't copy the effects of Gluttonous Joker that triggers when a card is played, how could i fix this?

current code:

calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.joker_main and not context.blueprint then
            local jokers = {}
            for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
                if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card and G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.blueprint_compat then
                    jokers[#jokers + 1] = G.jokers.cards[i]
                end
            end

        local other_joker = pseudorandom_element(jokers, 'j_cash_out_complex_joker')
        local ret = SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, other_joker, context)
        if ret then
            ret.colour = G.C.BLUE
        end
            return ret
        end
    end

[frosty dock]

hand_drawn works for selecting the joker, but you need to keep it for copying in other contexts that follow

either in an ability value or an upvalue

actually no, upvalue doesnt work

[wintry solar]

calculate = function(self, card, context)
  if context.press_play then
    local indexes = {}
    for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
      if G.jokers.cards[i] ~= card and G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.blueprint_compat then
        indexes[#indexes + 1] = i
      end
    end
    card.ability.extra.joker_index = pseudorandom_element(indexes, 'j_cash_out_complex_joker')
  end
  return SMODS.blueprint_effect(card, G.jokers.cards[card.ability.extra.joker_index], context)
end

something like this

[hidden aspen]

is NFS a shortcut to love.filesystem? and is there a proper way to load everything recusively?

nvm i found it in love2d docks

[wintry solar]

use SMODS.NFS

@shy quest uhhh

[frosty bone]

i need help, this crashes the game

[twilit hearth]

how can I get my icon to show up on the mod? the "logo" if you will.

[slim ferry]

create an atlas with the key modicon

[twilit hearth]

@slim ferry what would I do without you

[fading rivet]

you'd have to hardcode every card, but yes

I have a card that kinda does this

take this card I made

then you get another card and now it looks like this

[hidden aspen]

i just wrote continue and lua suggested me this... is this real???

we're using gotos now?

genuinely

[red flower]

yes

[warm otter]

Hello, guys, I have a question for you! So, I'm trying to make set of jokers that have three abilities each. How would I do that?

[frosty dock]

even then you can do it on the cards instead of the edition and that would be much better

[frosty dock]

that is super vague, what answer were you even expecting? calculate functions allow you to have as many effects as you want

[fading rivet]

do you mean like this?

[warm otter]

Yes, exactly what I'm trying to state

[fading rivet]

in your localization file

do

j_modkey_cardkey = {
  name = "name",
  text = {
    {
      "box 1"
    },
    {
      "box 2"
    }
  }
}

[fading rivet]

add more tables for more boxes

[warm otter]

Why thank you for the explanation!

[past spade]

This pseudorandom_element() in a deck apply function always returns the element C, is there some issue with using pseudorandom here?

apply = function(self) G.GAME.starting_params.removed_suit = pseudorandom_element({"H", "D", "C", "S"}, 'cod_triangle')

[red flower]

there shouldn't be afaik
try doing it in an event?

[fading rivet]

I said nothing

[past spade]

properly random then, but seems to be too late for the deck creation process

[slim ferry]

deck apply is run before the run seed is set properly no?

so this will always have the same outcome

[red flower]

i never really tried it so i thought it was something like that yeah

[red flower]

how are you removing the suit?

or is this some base config I am not aware of

patch in game.lua start_run()

if self.GAME.starting_params.removed_suit and self.GAME.starting_params.removed_suit == _s then keep = false end

I could probably just move the random call into that function

[red flower]

yeah that works

or maybe not if it's also too early lol

if it doesn't just remove the cards in apply

[past spade]

erratic funtionality in there uses pseudorandom so should work

[red flower]

makes sense

[hidden aspen]

how can i insert description of a different object into loc_vars?
description type crashes the game:

({type = "descriptions", key = event.ability.extra.deck_key, set = "Back", vars = {}})

raw_descriptions returns a multi line table

localize({type = "raw_descriptions", key = event.ability.extra.deck_key, set = "Back", vars = {}})****

but since its a table i have to unpack it, but then i dont know its length so i would have to put #1#, #2#, #3#, etc

[red flower]

you would have to do something with either main_end/start or generate_ui

[fickle gust]

alright very specific demand here, is there a way to completely remove a joker's tooltip/part of it (like remove the white rectangle in which the description is located, or the rarity/mod handle, etc)?

essentially i want a joker that as no description, but still as a tooltip that has a name and a mod handle when hovered, if that's not possible or too complicated, removing the entire tooltip is fine if necessary.

this:

i've tried removing loc_txt but it leaves an empty white rectangle

[rapid stag]

you may have to engage in generate_ui shenanigans

[past spade]

I've removed the mod and rarity tag before, but not the description box

[rapid stag]

actually, wait

what happens if you just write an empty generate_ui function in your joker

[fickle gust]

no ui?

i guess

[rapid stag]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[past spade]

generate_card_ui has a hide_desc parameter, maybe that could be used

[rapid stag]

try

oh that could work

i was gonna suggest doing something like

generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
  SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, nil, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
end```

[past spade]

oh wait that seems to make it look undiscovered

[rapid stag]

another thing i thought of is that you could make your loc_txt.text be an empty multi box

and then you could try this

generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
  SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)

  if full_UI_table and full_UI_table.multi_box then
    full_UI_table.multi_box = nil
  end
end```
and if that causes a crash,
```lua
generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
  SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)

  if full_UI_table and full_UI_table.multi_box then
    full_UI_table.multi_box = {}
  end
end```

i feel like somewhere around here is the trick to getting what you're after

at least my intuition is confident that your answer is in some kind of generate_ui fuckery

[tranquil cypress]

-# talbe

[rapid stag]

i'm still waking up okay

[tranquil cypress]

lol

[past spade]

is there a way to detect jokers being re-ordered?

[fickle gust]

do i just drop generate_ui into loc_vars like so?

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        generate_ui = function(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)
            SMODS.Center.generate_ui(self, info_queue, card, desc_nodes, specific_vars, full_UI_table)

            if full_UI_table and full_UI_table.multi_box then
                full_UI_table.multi_box = {}
            end
        end
    end

i have no idea what i'm doing btw

[rapid stag]

it is not a part of loc_vars

it is its own function

[fickle gust]

aaaah

[red flower]

multi_box will only delete the multi boxes after the main one btw

[fickle gust]

alr this option crashes when the card is hovered

[hidden aspen]

how can i render a tag like this (not give it out, just show)

[fickle gust]

and these don't work-
welp i'm at a loss again

[wanton jolt]

have an initial example map

then flip the steps column by column

revealing the 2 more steps once flipped

[hidden aspen]

no i mean

[wanton jolt]

a tooltip right

[hidden aspen]

i mean render a tag that can be hovered over to see a description

oh wait

[wanton jolt]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[hidden aspen]

did i find it?

now i need to figure out how to put this in my event

thank you

RUBBER DUCK JOCKEY 🗣️

[wanton jolt]

rubber duck jockey

@hidden aspen check my consumables

[hidden aspen]

yezzzzzzz

i wanna check out later how to do mod combos

like not dependancy because they can exist without each other

but if they're both enabled it adds stuff

[wanton jolt]

i can give u a function

FELIJO.is_mod_loaded = function(var) -- credit aiko
    if not var then return false end
    return (SMODS.Mods[var] and SMODS.Mods[var].can_load) and true or false
end

[frosty dock]

uh

[wanton jolt]

so for example
FELIJO.is_mod_loaded("felijo")
would return true

[frosty dock]

you do know SMODS.find_mod exists, right?

[wanton jolt]

woops

no

[frosty dock]

well now you do

[wanton jolt]

lol

[shell timber]

0.9.8 ahh function

[frosty dock]

if next(SMODS.find_mod("felijo")) then

[wanton jolt]

next

😱

[frosty dock]

Also there's an important feature yours doesn't support

a mod can provide for a different mod, e.g. amulet counting as talisman being installed

[hidden aspen]

why next? because find_mod returns an array? isnt there only one mod?

[frosty dock]

because of the providing mechanism, the result isn't necessarily unique

that's why it returns a table

Also it's based on find_joker

[hidden aspen]

i dont get it, arent keys unique in nature?

[frosty dock]

every mod has a unique ID

[wanton jolt]

i remember seeing some code snippet in smallpox about that

[frosty dock]

but any mod can provide another mod ID and count that as being present too

but different mods can provide the same mod ID without it being an issue

in which case find_mod will give you both

[hidden aspen]

ohhhhhhh

okay

what about find_joker?

[frosty dock]

don't use it, use SMODS.find_card

but it works the same way

[wanton jolt]

how would that not be an issue outside of amulet

[frosty dock]

you can have multiple of a joker

[frosty dock]

these mods can and should conflict if it's an issue

it's not an issue naturally

[wanton jolt]

yo i got an idea for a consumable

basically using it will put you to a screen where you choose between 3 random tribes among a selection(canine, insect, vermin, avian, human....) you choose one tribe and you get the joker corresponding to that tribe

is there a mod that did that? open a screen that shows three cards and you select one? preferably not a dependency

[shell timber]

you could open a pack (?)

and just turn off the skip button

[wanton jolt]

oooooh yeah

yeahhh

since the boosters are use cards

you are right

[red flower]

i do that in joyousspring but i still haven't made a selection screen that you can't back out of

i need to

[hidden aspen]

tag generate_UI generaties UIElement

but here i have balatro.Node?

isnt that the same?

[frosty rampart]

nodes are a very generic object that basically every other game object extends from. ui elements are an extension of Moveables, which are an extension of Nodes

[rigid solar]

So if you add a seal during scoring, you can't hover over your cards to see their description until the seal has been added. Is there a way to fix that?

[hidden aspen]

ohhhhh i see

and i actually have a UIElement.Definition not UIElement

[wanton jolt]

add seal on context.before

[rigid solar]

no, i want the seal to be added after scoring 20 cards, so that the 21st gets the seal

[wanton jolt]

oh right

you should probably add context.other_card too

[rigid solar]

in the og if? yeah i guess so

[wanton jolt]

yeah

[wintry solar]

Why would you need to do that?

[hidden aspen]

why is it hiding there

[twilit hearth]

LMAO

[rigid solar]

do what

add context.other_card to the first if? doesn't really hurt to add it, and it's a failsafe in case there's no card for some reason

[slim ferry]

that literally physically cannot happen

[wintry solar]

there will always be a card in context.individual

[slim ferry]

unless some mod is calling context.individual without a card but they shouldnt be doing that

that would be stupid

[wintry solar]

unless someone does something catastrophically silly

[slim ferry]

and you shouldnt account for that

[hidden aspen]

we're so back

UI is a PAIN

[twilit hearth]

someone critque my artwork

i've looked at it for so long it started to look bad

[vague ravine]

GUYS I NEED HELP

I fedded up

i installed balatro mods and now the saves from before are gone

are they still there?

[twilit hearth]

On the base game, they should be

[vague ravine]

i use a launcher that starts the modded version

but idk why it starts when i wanna play normal

[twilit hearth]

like with 0 mods installed, it should all be there

I assume you would have to uninstall the mods if you wanted to play vanilla?

take that with a grain of salt though

[vague ravine]

i uninstalled the mods

its still there

thank god

ye it sucks

i will find a way to do both tho

i just panicked

[red flower]

i assume cryptid?

it has its own profile slots

[slim ferry]

did you install cryptid

or entropy

[red flower]

also #⚙・modding-support

[slim ferry]

actually idk if entropy does it on its own but cryptid definitely does this

[red flower]

does pwx do it?

[slim ferry]

pwx also does it yes

[ivory socket]

I am once again asking for help with this joker since it still doesn't work, I'm probably missing something simple since I have 0 coding practice but I'm still asking for help since I've been workshopping and its still not retriggering. SMODS.Joker {
key = "Universe",
loc_txt = {
name = "Universe",
text = {
"retrigger all played cards {C:attention}2{} times ",
"if all played cards have",
"the {C:attention}same{} Enhancement"
},
},
config = {
repetitions = 2
},
--unlocked = true
rarity = 3,
blueprint_compat = true,
eternal_compat = true,
Atlas = "jokerimage",
pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
cost = 7,
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = {context.repetitons} }
end,
message = localize('k_again_ex'),
repetitions = 2,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.repetitions and context.cardarea == G.play then
local enhancement = context.full_hand[1].config.center_key
for i = 2, #context.full_hand do
if context.full_hand[i].config.center_key ~= enhancement then
return nil
end
end
return {
repetitions = card.ability.extra.repetitions,
}
end
end
}

[slim ferry]

its context.repetition, not context.repetitions

[ivory socket]

okay thanks, OF COURSE IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS MAKING IT PLURAL

[twilit hearth]

Welcome to programming

[rigid solar]

it's also config = {extra = {repetitions = 2}}

[dapper sun]

what's wrong with my hook,,?

local text_input_hook = love.textinput
function love.textinput(text)
    if G.jokers then
        for _, v in ipairs(G.jokers) do
            if v.config.center.key == "j_elle_wordle" then
                submit_letter(v, text)
            end
        end
    end


    text_input_hook(text)
end```

[frosty rampart]

you should loop through G.jokers.cards

not G.jokers

@dapper sun

[dapper sun]

oh ty

but that's not the main problem

it says there's a problem with me calling text_input_hook

[frosty rampart]

hm
what's the actual crash?

[dapper sun]

line 127 is the text_input_hook(text)

[frosty rampart]

odd

sorry i'm kinda clueless lol
i do see orig_textinput in the crash dump somewhere, are you sure the code you posted here is the same as the code in your file and that you saved it?

[dapper sun]

yes

i've just tried

local text_input_hook = love.textinput
function love.textinput(...)
    text_input_hook(...)
end```and it did the same thing

[frosty rampart]

ok i'm actually running into the same issue, i tried saving love.textinput as a variable in my own mod and it's coming up nil

even tho love.textinput is a function when i check it in debugplus midgame

[dapper sun]

weird

[frosty rampart]

oh orig_textinput comes from debugplus

debugplus might actually be doing some shenanigans

[dapper sun]

damn

gonna try disabling it

[frosty rampart]

ok so it's not debugplus then

maybe try saving text_input_hook in an event or something?
