hold up, why is it showing the modNodes in the same row of the node before?
I also tried putting both nodes as childrens of an empty column node but it didn't work

[red flower]

you need

  column = {
    row = { text },
    row = modnodes
  }

= here would be nodes = ...

[rapid stag]

ok so the reason for it just being a free-floating card is that apparently even though despite i specify the area to create the card in, it just doesn't put the created card in the area. the card's area is nil following creation.

so there's something wrong with my cardarea if both add_card and create_card don't like it and forcibly emplacing it causes it to disappear entirely.

[thorn basin]

for some reason it's kind of off centered now
tried putting "cm" in the loc_vars but the result is the same

[red flower]

try type = 'joker' in the cardarea

[red flower]

cm should go in the column

[rapid stag]

it worked

but why? i do everything joyousspring does regarding the custom objecttype

do the objects have to be force injected

[red flower]

do you do this

also mine use type joker now

[rapid stag]

ah

[red flower]

the area type is how it displays the cards so it doesnt have anything to do with the set

i dont even use my objectypes theyre just there because

[rapid stag]

i see

[loud summit]

how do you score one card but have its effect text appear on another card?

[red flower]

message_card = other_card

[final jewel]

how do I catch the type of consumable created. like ik if context.card_added then catch if a non-playing card is add

[daring fern]

context.card.ability.set

[final jewel]

oh ok

[thorn basin]

Sorry for the late response but it doesn't change anything if I put alignment = "cm" in the column

[final jewel]

more like that ?

if context.card_added.ability.set == 'Artefact' then

[red flower]

try the rows too

btw i recommend just adding stuff to the config based on the ui guide lol, most of my ui work is trial an error

[loud summit]

no like for all effects

like mult and stuff

[daring fern]

Hook card_eval_status_text

[daring fern]

No, it would be context.card.ability.set

[final jewel]

okok

I was just thinking too deep

So if context.card_added and context.card.ability.set == 'Artefact' then G.GAME.giga.artefact_create = G.GAME.giga.artefact_create + 1 end

[loud summit]

so if card == whatever then card = x?

uhh and are you sure that function is just for the visual effects on the card

[daring fern]

Yes, also you would need to set extra.focus to nil if it exists.

[loud summit]

oh

or just set extra.focus directly?

[daring fern]

No, you should still change card in case someone else hooks that function.

[loud summit]

oh

[wanton jolt]

Is it possible to make a marquee but with cards

[red flower]

wdym

[rapid stag]

i mean, if the x and y vars for your sprite position takes floating point numbers, i guess you could do some janky thing with the spritesheet and just constantly loop the co-ord while calling set_sprites each time

[red flower]

i think that works yeah

[wanton jolt]

instead of scrolling text i want to have scrolling cards

like automatically scrolling

[red flower]

this works ^ with set_sprite_pos

[slow brook]

i havent touched my mod since may 2025 and almost all of it doesnt work with newest smods edition, should i try to fix it or do i just put the fries in the bag and start it all over

[red flower]

there wasnt any big api change so it can probably all be fixed somewhat easily

[slow brook]

ive tried looking into it a few months back but the random chances changes got me

[red flower]

i mean that should still work if you're using the old method, it just wont support other mods

but it wont crash with them

[thorn basin]

small question: if I make a repo from visual studio for my mod, and since I'm the owner of it, I can still access to it from different devices?

[red flower]

a github one? yes

[thorn basin]

as if there would be a case that I need to change something about my mod but I'm in another pc

[red flower]

if it's local then no obviously, those are on your machine only

[thorn basin]

but if it's a github one then yes?

[red flower]

yes

you would need to clone it to the other device

[thorn basin]

aight, that's what I was aiming for, thx

[viscid talon]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lVCNsp_S2EqppyH2hI8tU7IFCVAhCXB9kjq7Cp9vKTM/edit?usp=sharing gamers i need ur thoughts

[rapid stag]

why make lucky cat dragon type

[viscid talon]

idkj

i was thinking steel but i have way too many steels already

[rapid stag]

ah. not doing fairy types? fairy feels like it would have made more sense

[viscid talon]

nope

[rapid stag]

smeared being normal also feels a little off and imo would be a perfect fairy candidate

[viscid talon]

i know 😭

[thorn basin]

I wanted to publish a balatro mod repo but visual sudio code for some reason says Git:Remote: repository not found

maybe it's because I made it private?

but the repo shows up in the github website.....

....what???

[viscid talon]

I FORGOT CLOUD 9 😭

[thorn basin]

is there a way I can fix this?

[daring fern]

Does your mod folder have a hidden .git folder in it?

[thorn basin]

it has one .git folder

[sharp jasper]

how do i code mods? (without jokerforge)

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki

read the top bit of this

[sharp jasper]

why do some jokers have #1# instead of the real value

[thorn basin]

what should I do then?

[vale zinc]

Is there any way to retrigger what goes into context.final_scoring_step? Here's why I ask:

[slim ferry]

if its an enhancement from your mod then why dont you just put this in the enhancement code

[vale zinc]

It's not. It's a cross-mod guest star with Ortalab, and works off of its Sand Cards.

[slim ferry]

i see

well

[vale zinc]

Here's what I got. Y prints, but not X.

if not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
    if context.repetition then
        print('Y')
        if
            context.final_scoring_step and
            (context.cardarea == G.hand or context.cardarea == G.play) and
            SMODS.has_enhancement(context.other_card, 'm_ortalab_sand') and
            not next(SMODS.find_card('j_ortalab_sandstone'))
        then
            print('X')
            return {
                repetitions = 1
            }
        end
    end
    if context.destroying_card and context.destroying_card == context.other_card and context.other_card.ability.extra.x_mult < 1 then
        return {
            remove = true
        }
    end
end

Other than that, the code does nothing.

[slim ferry]

well yeah context.repetition only happens for main playing card scoring

which context.final_scoring_step is not

[vale zinc]

It also looks to me like context.final_scoring_step knows nothing of context.other_card.

[slim ferry]

yeah

because it isnt calculated with an other card

you could just patch into sand cards though

[vale zinc]

How, something like this?

if (G.GAME.blind.config.blind.key == 'bl_lapsems_broom') and not G.GAME.blind.disabled then
    return {
        repetitions = 1
    }
end

[slim ferry]

....no

patch

like

lovely patch

[vale zinc]

Well, I mean, put something like that within the patch.

[slim ferry]

this is just the same thing except outside the blind and in every context

well no

sand cards also wont retrigger themselves outside of main playing card scoring

you should just patch the reduction and double it if the blind is active

[sharp jasper]

how do i create the bare-bones folder to code my mod in

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#4-basic-mod

[vale zinc]

That was what I meant, do I patch in that aforementioned condition at the end of the Sand Cards' code?

[red flower]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[slim ferry]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[slim ferry]

no

[exotic hedge]

Bam

[slim ferry]

you directly patch the line where the reduction happens

[sharp jasper]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[livid scroll]

Late

[slim ferry]

late ahh

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/EremelMods/Ortalab/blob/abfa713121ce6a99407273bfb0db73f8282aa0c5/objects/enhancements.lua#L135 here

[vale zinc]

It ain't a single line.

if context.final_scoring_step and (context.cardarea == G.hand or context.cardarea == G.play) and not next(SMODS.find_card('j_ortalab_sandstone')) then
    card.ability.extra.x_mult = card.ability.extra.x_mult - card.ability.extra.change
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'immediate',
        func = function()
            card_eval_status_text(card, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize('ortalab_sand_crumble'), colour = G.C.GOLD, instant = true})
            play_sound('ortalab_sand', 0.8+ (0.9 + 0.2*math.random())*0.2, 0.5)
            if card.ability.extra.x_mult and card.ability.extra.x_mult < 1 then
                SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
            end
            card.particles = Particles(1, 1, 0,0, {
                timer = 0.015,
                scale = 0.3,
                initialize = true,
                lifespan = 1,
                speed = 3,
                padding = -1,
                attach = card,
                colours = {G.C.GOLD, lighten(G.C.GOLD, 0.4), lighten(G.C.GOLD, 0.2), darken(G.C.GOLD, 0.2)},
                fill = true
            })
            card.particles.fade_alpha = 1
            card.particles:fade(1, 0)
            
            return true
        end
    }))  
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        trigger = 'after',
        delay = 1,
        func = function()
            card.particles:remove()
            return true
        end
    }))
end

I wanted to replicate the "Crumble!" effect, and I thought that taking advantage of the repetition feature would be an easy solution.

[frosty rampart]

patches can be multiple lines

[slim ferry]

i mean the reduction is only one line so you could just double that

but also

[frosty rampart]

and again, repetition is not for the purpose you think it is. it's specifically for retriggering cards during their normal scoring

[slim ferry]

if you want to repeat everything then just patch in the start and end of a for loop

around the code

[vale zinc]

Would it even be possible, though, to patch for another mod's files?

[red flower]

of course

[slim ferry]

also unrelated but like the makes me wonder

because it requires the mod id is it even possible to patch a lovely mod

[frosty rampart]

it's called running your patch on the vanilla code after the other lovely mod's patches run

[slim ferry]

i mean

lovely mods can also load their own files via patches

[frosty rampart]

ah
hm

[daring fern]

=[lovely modulename "path"]

[slim ferry]

i see

what would modulename be in this case? is it just the folder name?

[red flower]

this is new right? i think its from 0.9 or 0.8

[red flower]

name

i think

[slim ferry]

oh i see

[thorn basin]

bump

[red flower]

idk how vscode github stuff works sadly

[slim ferry]

did you publish it via vscode

or did you create the repo on github

[thorn basin]

I tried to publish it by vscode

the private repo is now on github but for some reason the publish option in vscode still shows up

[slim ferry]

try cloning the repo from github and see if it works

[vale zinc]

if context.final_scoring_step then
    for _, area in {G.play, G.hand} do
        for __, card in pairs(area) do
            if SMODS.has_enhancement(card, 'm_ortalab_sand') then
                -- Would something like this work?
            end
        end
    end
end

[red flower]

idk if it will work for what you want because i havent been following but pairs(area.cards)

[thorn basin]

I tried but nothing changed

[slim ferry]

like in the cloned repo?

[sleek valley]

doubt you're still online by now but uhhh it's not rly working

[red flower]

"cultofcards"

with quotes

[sleek valley]

ooohhhh, that makes more sense

[thorn basin]

yeah

in vscode the publish button still shows up and when I click it it says the same thing as before

[slim ferry]

are you like properly logged in to github in vscode

[red flower]

also you need to return true outside the condition
or just return the config value itself

[rapid stag]

ok so outside of applying eternal, how can i make a joker unsellable?

[red flower]

hook the function to sell

Card:can_sell_card

[sleek valley]

tyy

[rapid stag]

and in the case of a custom joker, i can just write a definition for can_sell_card? or no

[red flower]

no

[rapid stag]

only hook, alright

[thorn basin]

yeah, I signed in in vscode with my github account

[red flower]

not a bad idea tho

[slim ferry]

huh

[thorn basin]

do you want me to show the log error?

[rapid stag]

is there a way to replace the sell button on a card? at some point i want to make a deck where you can't sell anything and you have to use what is basically a manual and targeted ceremonial dagger

[slim ferry]

i mean i guess

but you already said what it says right

[red flower]

you would need to hook/patch G.UIDEF.use_and_sell_buttons

[slim ferry]

does opening the shown link actually take you to the repo

[thorn basin]

yep but it's... empty

[red flower]

did you try the commands at the bottom

thats usually how i do it

[thorn basin]

the create a new repo on the command line or push an existing repo from the command line?

[red flower]

latter

[red flower]

somethings broken then lmao

probably has to do with login stuff

maybe make it public for a bit and then private it?

[thorn basin]

I'll try publishing my mod from a different device then

I have another git account on this device so this may be the problem

[wanton jolt]

tiered tarots

[sharp jasper]

how do i add the steammodded tag shown in the mod menu?

[tepid crow]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-add-a-custom-icon

at least, I think that's what you're asking

[sharp jasper]

right. and do i put it in the main file or a different one

[frosty rampart]

doesn't matter as long as the code is run somehow

[sharp jasper]

how would i add a sprite and map it onto my jokers?

[frosty rampart]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Atlas

[sharp jasper]

attempting to map this sprite, but my joker looks like Drunkard: ```-- Joker
SMODS.Joker {
key = "dejoker",
pos = { x = 1, y = 1 },
rarity = 1,
blueprint_compat = true,
cost = 2,
discovered = true,
config = { extra = { mult = 4 }, },
loc_txt = {
name = "Doker the Fifth",
text = {
"{C:red,s:1.1}+#1#{} Chips"
},
},
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
return { vars = { card.ability.extra.mult } }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
if context.joker_main then
return {
mult = card.ability.extra.mult
}
end
end
}

SMODS.Atlas({
key = "modicon",
path = "icon.png",
px = 32,
py = 32
})

SMODS.Atlas({
key = "dejoker",
path = "dejokers.png",
px = 71,
py = 95
})```

[frosty rampart]

from the link i gave you

you need to have atlas = "dejoker" in the joker definition

(also keep in mind that the position is zero-indexed, so if the atlas only has one sprite on it it needs to be x = 0, y = 0)

[sharp jasper]

why dont the joker desc numbers get hardcoded?

[umbral zodiac]

how would you make a scaling joker if they were hardcoded

[sharp jasper]

true

[umbral zodiac]

also its just bad practice, best to be able to just change 1 variable rather than editing a variable AND a string to change a joker's values

[versed swan]

just wanted to say another thank you for pointing to this, i'm able to do a bunch of things that i never thought i'd be able to do in a reasonable amount of time

[vital wren]

that's a pretty brick color

what would be a good starting place for me to look for adding ui buttons on selected cards in booster packs? i want to make it possible to keep cards from boosters instead of using them immediately

[red flower]

do you want to add a keep button alongside the use button or replace use for keep?

[vital wren]

add it

if there's already a mod that does that, that's even better lol

[red flower]

cryptid does that for code packs iirc, you can look into that

[vital wren]

thanks!

[wild escarp]

How could I make a joker that can only be removed by selling?

[frosty rampart]

replace card.ability.star_immortal with card.config.center.key == "j_modprefix_jokerkey" (where modprefix is your mod's prefix, and jokerkey is the key of the joker in question)
this goes as its own code in the main file or whatever, not inside the joker definition

this makes the joker count as eternal as long as whatever's "checking" if it's eternal isn't the sell button

@wild escarp

[wild escarp]

Cool, thanks!

[rapid stag]

why my sell button weird

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-make-a-new-card-area
check align buttons

[round lion]

he's doing just fine.

[rapid stag]

could i actually just add a use button to a joker, or would that still need the hook

[red flower]

that would still need the hook

theres an example of that in the vremade wiki

[rapid stag]

the how to add a button to the card?

[red flower]

yes

[safe quarry]

good mod joker idea
Freddy fazbear
When purchased, you must play five nights at Freddy’s (if owned on steam). Each night survived gives x5 mult
(if game not owned, joker gives only x3 mult for 5 rounds, then destroys self)

[round lion]

realidad

but how will you detect the savedara

[safe quarry]

api or smth

[vocal helm]

How would I change the name (and only the name, not the description) of a vanilla Balatro card using take_ownership?

[daring fern]

You wouldn't.

[vocal helm]

Really? You can't just do something like

SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('blueprint', -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
        atlas = "jokers-new",
        pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
        -- welcome to the land of the hypothetical (PSEUDOCODE STARTS HERE)
        loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
            local ret = original_loc_vars
            ret["key"]["name"] = localize("mod_j_blueprint_new")
            return ret
        end
        -- thank you for visiting the land of the hypothetical (PSEUDOCODE ENDS HERE)
    },
    true
)```

(hypothetically)

[slim ferry]

key isnt a table

In loc_vars

[vocal helm]

...ah, yeah, you're right

hrm

it's a string to whatever's being localized

[slim ferry]

You can just override the localization with your own localization file though

[vocal helm]

that is what I'd like to do, I just don't want to touch the original descriptions

and I'm guessing excluding a text variable will just make them blank

[slim ferry]

Yes

I mean you can use SMODS.current_mod.process_loc_text

To change locs after theyre loaded

See how steamodded uses it in game_object.lua to change the description of The Wheel

[vocal helm]

fair

[vocal helm]

Got something started using this, though for whatever reason it's not recognizing the new localizations (shows up as "ERROR" for the name)

thismod = SMODS.current_mod
local thismodid = thismod.id
function get_new_key(key)
    return thismodid .. "_" .. key .. "_new"
end
SMODS.Joker:take_ownership('blueprint', -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
        atlas = "jokers-new",
        pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
        process_loc_text = function(self)
            print(G.localization.descriptions.Joker[self.key]["name"])
            print(get_new_key(self.key)..": "..localize(get_new_key(self.key)))
            G.localization.descriptions.Joker[self.key]["name"] = localize(get_new_key(self.key))
            SMODS.Joker.process_loc_text(self)
        end,
    },
    true
)

return {
    misc = {
        dictionary = {
            modid_j_blueprint_new = "Orangeprint",
        },
    }
}```

[frosty dock]

very close actually, what you want is ret.name_key

that's not in the docs for some reason, I should change that

[vocal helm]

fair enough

i've actually got progress on my method here, the issue is it's not recognizing the new localizations for whatever reason

[frosty dock]

yeah that makes sense because you're not having them parsed. this is needlessly complicated, though iirc just passing a name and no text in a loc file won't touch the text

[vocal helm]

alright I'll try that

ah, so it does. whoopsie!

Thank you!

[long sun]

soul_set doesn't seem to be working for me

i have this, but it won't appear in Hanafuda packs

[daring fern]

How are you creating the cards in the Hanafuda packs?

[long sun]

okay yeah nevermind ;u; I'm doing it without a soul check

thanks!

[vital wren]

so ive modified m_stone and now its info shows the chips of the rank under the stone effect. it scores as expected. there's just the extra text visually. is there something i need to do to make that not happen?

[long sun]

success :3

[vital wren]

oooooh

koi koi!

what do they do?

[long sun]

they come in four flavours

the Chaff cards are the weakest, and are similar-strength to Tarot cards

the Bright cards are the strongest, and are similar to Spectrals, or perhaps stronger in some cases

the Spectral creates two random Bright cards :3

[vital wren]

neat

anyone know if there's a vanilla xchips feature i can tap into or do i need to make my own?

[gilded blaze]

smods already provides one
base game doesn't have it

[vital wren]

neat, can i just return xchips in a calculate_joker?

[long sun]

ayup!

[blazing helm]

god i hate the English language TwT i spent way to long trying to figure out why this wasn't working 😭 why is it spelled dif depending on where you live qwq

[gilded blaze]

is it from the return table of loc_vars

[blazing helm]

ya

it wants vars.colours

[long sun]

oops

[gilded blaze]

where consumable area

[long sun]

gone

reduced to ashes

[frosty dock]

"consumeable"

[vital wren]

ive missed the e in consumeable so many times

[dapper sun]

that's not a matter of where you live that's just a moment

[sleek valley]

"localization"
that one i have personal beef with

[gilded blaze]

at least there's no instances of "localisation"

[sleek valley]

but there's an instance of "consumable"??? /lh

[long sun]

how do custom quips work? (quips with custom joker sprites and text, that trigger when specific things happen in a run)

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/0827#smodsjimboquip

[long sun]

cheersies :3

[frigid cargo]

Is it possible to give a bonus in the next run if you lose the previous with a specific joker or something?

[gilded blaze]

store the bonus in profile, trigger it the next run before removing

[wild patrol]

Made a joker that only works on saturday

[wild patrol]

why because why not

a joker that changes effect based on what day it is sounds kinda cool

lol

[gilded blaze]

||you have no idea what Cold Beans has to offer||

[wild patrol]

cold beans?

[gilded blaze]

basically alternative Hot Potato

[wild patrol]

The real life game or a mod i'm not aware of

lol

trying not to copy ideas that's already been done

[gilded blaze]

a mod you're not aware of, rip

well, ||it's been done in Cold Beans, but in a different way dw||

as little spoilers as I could give

[wild patrol]

i'm not aware of a lot of mods

too many to keep up with now

[gilded blaze]

well, can't blame you
jokerforge really made modding a child's play

[wild patrol]

The TTV mod I worked on kinda started out as a forge mod

atleast for jokers

It's ok to to cobble together a joker for basic stuff

I've used it here and there for a base

1 making a sprite sheet manually is painful

1 pixel off throws everything off

I don't blame forge I blame too many people not wanting to put more effort into mods

forge like many other modding tools is supposed to help beginners out until they branch off into more advanced stuff

I just wish someone would make a sprite sheet tool lol

only thing I really used forge for now is just the sprite sheet since it'll make both a x2 and x1 version

[wanton jolt]

i use paint

[gilded blaze]

real pros use a script

[wild patrol]

problem is i dunno anything about python lol

[primal robin]

I have 2 scripts, for scaling and removing anti-aliasing

[wanton jolt]

i need to fix the script so it doesnt shit itself when it sees pdns

[wild patrol]

oh btw the twitch mod is up on github now if u still wanna peak at it

#1472312402480726026 message

[primal robin]

cool

[green magnet]

I am trying to figure out how to do editions and really struggling

Is it possible to have non visual edition? Like not shinny or black but instead like ! or some other symbol?

[red flower]

yes, but not directly with the edition api since that's only equipped to make editions with shaders
you would need to use a custom SMODS.DrawStep

[green magnet]

Ah so it always need costume editions, with shadder

[slim ferry]

You can have one without a shader

And then do sprites or whatever you want to do with a drawstep

[elder rune]

Im trying to make a Joker display its Xmult live on the top row and this is what I've got so far. But for some reason the "Mult" text isn't appearing at all

Theres probably an easier way than all this but like idk

[frosty dock]

SMODS.localize_box:

[elder rune]

oh

[elder rune]

And how does it work

[red flower]

i dont think localize box takes ref_table

[sleek valley]

does anyone know how to add extra text to the title screen like this?
this mod just does it with a single atlas from what i can tell but i wanna make sure that's all it is to be safe

[red flower]

it uses it here
https://github.com/icyethics/Kino/blob/8f5cf81728a8b3ca987b71e1731de0fb304daa3b/lovely/current.toml#L966

[sleek valley]

uuuhhhh
is there an easier way that doesnt need patches? .w.

[red flower]

you can just copy that patch and change the numbers

and kino_splash_screen for your atlas

[sleek valley]

true

[elder rune]

Okay I tried making the first node bigger and found the problem I guess, Even tho the first node is G.UIT.R the "Mult" text gets put under the red box

And the reason why I didn't see the "Mult" text was that it was perfectly aligned with another "Mult" text on the row underneath

[red flower]

lol

you probably need some column nodes

[elder rune]

bro changed the first one to G.UIT.C and it worked

[sleek valley]

balatro ui code weird ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[elder rune]

Isnt C vertical and R horizontal so why are they reversed here

Whatever it works now

[red flower]

balatro doesnt understand your layout if you dont put rows in columns and the other way around

[elder rune]

damn

[red flower]

so it basically didnt know where you put your rows

[elder rune]

guess that kinda makes

[sleek valley]

does the version in a patch file's manifest matter at all?

[frosty rampart]

nah not really

[rapid stag]

only for your development tracking if you choose to follow some form of versioning to form some kind of development timeline so you can more easily pinpoint when a certain problem occurred, etc.

[sleek valley]

aight well thankfully i code off vibes lmao

-# not to be confused with vibe coding

[frosty dock]

In fact the entire manifest besides the priority doesn't matter

[sleek valley]

in anycase, the splash screen patch works, now to just figure out how to make it appear on top instead of behind

[frosty dock]

dump_lua is also obsolete

[sleek valley]

oh fun!

[lyric wadi]

when i make a joker change sprite, it often changes back into the initial sprite when loading a saved run

what's the correct proper fix for this?

i've tried some jank sounding solutions that didnt work

[red flower]

change it in set_sprites

[frosty rampart]

if the specific sprite relies on a value in card.ability somewhere, do it in an event in set_sprites, as the function runs before card.ability is populated with its values

[lyric wadi]

like this?

[red flower]

yeah

[lyric wadi]

how often is set_sprites called

[red flower]

when the card object is created

and i dont mean in a run, i mean when its shown on screen

so when you reload

[lyric wadi]

question about that

say when this card shows up in a shop

does this triggers before the animations starts playing

and can i hijack this to run some stuff before it becomes visible in the shop

or is there a better method

[red flower]

wdym by animations

[frosty rampart]

what's your actual goal

[lyric wadi]

the fading in animation thingy when it shows up in shop

[red flower]

ahh not sure lol

[lyric wadi]

ok so i just got an silly idea for a joker based on a ktane module called Impostor

when it shows up in shop it initially disguises itself as a vanilla joker

but the sprite is slightly incorrect

like for example it's Reserved Parking but its sprite says Reversed Parking instead

or like Hanging Chad has the J tab hanging instead of the O tab

[frosty rampart]

i would probably look at how spy did that before it got removed from cryptid

[lyric wadi]

oh what did spy do

[frosty rampart]

basically exactly that except without any tells, and then when you bought it it revealed itself, became eternal, and gave X0.5 Mult

it was the cursed rarity lol

[red flower]

that should be possible with this by checking the area afaik

[frosty rampart]

but yea i assume set_sprites will be sufficient for that

[lyric wadi]

well i dont wanna punish the player too hard for buying it but i want to reward them for identifying it

[frosty rampart]

give it a try and if it doesn't work then we can dig into vanilla code to figure out when the proper timing is

[red flower]

the event might be mandatory if the area is not set immediately

[frosty rampart]

no yea my point is the way spy disguised itself should be a good point of reference for your goal

[thorn basin]

...I'm gonna be honest, I'm not sure what else should I add...
maybe the number of jokers?
or generally say that it has jokers and lots of enhancements?
if you guys made a vanilla-like mod what would you put in the README file for description?

[red flower]

how to install

[frosty rampart]

paperback has a big-ass image with the mod logo and a bunch of joker sprites in the background, and a link to the balatromods wiki page

[thorn basin]

how to install?
well... it doesn't require anything special to install so... should I put the link to the repo website to find where to download it?

[lyric wadi]

how do i look at the old cryptid spy code

it's gone

[red flower]

people are dumb, they wont know what a lovely or smods is

or that they shouldnt drop and replace the mod

i have this in mine

[thorn basin]

ooooooh now I get it

[red flower]

i can get rid of the unzip part next update probably

[thorn basin]

I was looking of some of the readme's from other mods like aikoyori's and MoreFluff's and noticed that both have HUGE differences

Another question: what's the mod's priority value for?

[mystic river]

yeah people put in a readme file whatever info they think makes sense for the end user to need. for example here's menthol's https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/MintysSillyMod/blob/main/README.md

[frosty rampart]

higher number = loaded later

it's not super relevant unless for some reason you need another mod's code to run first before yours, or you need your code to run before other mods

[thorn basin]

my mod doesn't have something revolutionary and super complex so.... I think it's the best if I leave it to 0

[frosty rampart]

yea 0 is perfectly fine most of the time

[thorn basin]

aight

[mystic river]

I'm somewhat of a yapper, as you can see from my readme

[frosty rampart]

the main thing i can see for people who need to adjust the priority is if they're doing some weird shenanigans with like overriding SMODS.Joker or SMODS.Sticker or something and they wanna make sure other mods load with the modified stuff instead of the regular smods stuff

[mystic river]

also cross mod content

[red flower]

and apis

[thorn basin]

that's.... that's a lot of stuff

oh uh, what's this "conflicts" and "provides" in the json file

[mystic river]

conflicts are mods you know won't work with yours, so your mod won't load if they're active

provides are for cases like Amulet which is meant to replace Talisman

[red flower]

"conflicts": [
        "Talisman (>=1.1) (<<2~)" // Same format as for dependencies, except alternatives (|) are disallowed.
    ], // ! No mods in the list (that fulfill version restrictions) may be installed, else this mod will not load.
    "provides": [
        "SomeAPIMod (1.0)"
    ], // ! Use this if your mod is able to stand in for a different mod and fulfill dependencies on it. This allows the usage of a different ID so both mods can coexist. If you don't specify a valid version, your mod's version is used instead.

[thorn basin]

I see...
(for now I haven't tried if my mod crashes other mods so I'm kinda nervous...)

although It shouldn't

[red flower]

i think its a fools errand to put every single mod that crashes in conflict

[hushed field]

conflicts are more for issues that aren't really able to be resolved, or very high effort, rather than incidental crashes. Talisman is a very reasonable conflict, but a random other content mod that crashes due to it patching the same function as you is probably not worth tracking down. If it's an issue, it'll get reported at some point

[frosty rampart]

yea conflicts are mainly for problems that can't or won't be fixed

[obtuse wraith]

Amature coder here, unscored cards ain't scoring, how would you fix this?

[final jewel]

you can use context.cardarea == 'unscored'

[frosty dock]

that and context.individual

[final jewel]

yeah forfot bout it

wait @frosty dock

meow

we are cat

[frosty dock]

yesh

meow

[obtuse wraith]

What should the both of them replace?

[final jewel]

use if context.before and not context.blueprint and context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored' then idk if it was your question

[frosty dock]

what

no

[final jewel]

I have a joker that give mult for unscored card

[frosty dock]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored' then and this will loop through all unscored cards for you, no loops needed on your end

the unscored card will be context.other_card

[final jewel]

yeah

[frosty dock]

you added context.before into that

which makes it always false

[final jewel]

oh shit

I literaly coppied his top function

[frosty dock]

Also why not context.blueprint

[final jewel]

or her idk

[final jewel]

idk weird stuff here

[obtuse wraith]

So I remove that?

[thorn basin]

how do I set up a gitignore file?
I still haven't made my mod public but I want it to have everything it needs for to be published

[slim ferry]

create file named .gitignore

then each line will be used as a file/folder name to ignore all instances of

for git

this will also not affect any files that git is already tracking

[thorn basin]

What's the difference of making a private and a public repo?

[slim ferry]

a private repo is well, private

only collaborators can view it

and yourself of course

[thorn basin]

so it's best if I should set it private for now?

[slim ferry]

probably

its whatever you want

[thorn basin]

I mean I want my mod to be accessible for everyone (in terms of gameplay and not coding)

[slim ferry]

well if you want everyone to see the mod then it should be public

[frosty rampart]

yea people generally distribute mods by posting the github link

[thorn basin]

ah aight

thx y'all!

[fading rivet]

github or vscode has a way to auto generate

[tulip pecan]

How would I reference this Gradient in-code like how I would do with G.C.MODPREFIX.COLOR? I know that I can reference it as {C:modprefix_rainbow} for descriptions, but I can't figure out how to use it in code.

[slim ferry]

SMODS.Gradients.modprefix_rainbow

alternatively you can also store the created gradient in a variable by doing whatever = SMODS.Gradient { ...

[obtuse wraith]

Why aren't the unscoring cards giving Mult?

[slim ferry]

because of and not context.scoring_hand

also it should be context.cardarea == "unscored" for unscoring cards

[granite raptor]

if using cardsleeves, is the current sleeve stored in G.GAME, like in G.GAME.selected_sleeve or something?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[final jewel]

if context.playing_card_added and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, pseudoseed('fuhdekun'), card.ability.extra.odds, card.ability.extra.chances) then
local _card = context.card
SMODS.calculate_context({ playing_card_added = true, cards = { _card } })
return {
message = 'Coppied !',
colour = G.C.SECONDARY_SET.Planet
}
end

so im doing this but it doesnt work like it sepossed to copy the playing card added, I know it can copy infinitely but thats a problem for later

[frosty rampart]

just calculating playing_card_added doesn't actually do anything to copy the card

[umbral zodiac]

adding to what meta said
tables in lua are passed by reference, this doesn't make a copy, it makes a new object that refers to the same card

use copy_card(card) to actually copy it

[final jewel]

okok I'll try

[red flower]

i recommend checking DNA instead of going at it blindly tho https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/blob/f1cc39c18475a3aa866817d579caefb6a53dca40/src/jokers.lua#L1300

[final jewel]

oh shoot I forgot about dna

[red flower]

i mean there are also a couple other copiers lol

[final jewel]

ok so I have that but it create a card but its not place in deck

[red flower]

it is missing all the other stuff

you would use this code but with G.deck instead of G.hand if you want the deck

[near coral]

Is it possible to have stake stickers from one set of stakes be paired along with stake stickers from another set of stakes

[red flower]

i dont think it is possible with the api

[near coral]

The stickers wouldn't be covering eachother of course

[red flower]

if you mean if its possible at all then yes, you would need to change whatever drawstep draws the stickers and add some logic to check multiple

[final jewel]

hell yeah its working now

[near coral]

If I change the part of the card where the sticker shows up will they be able to coexist

For the extra set I mean

Or maybe I can make certain jokers only allowed to have stickers from the one set

Well not me since I'm not the coder but you know what I mean

[red flower]

yeah its just a sprite overlaid on a card

[near coral]

Oh okay

So it's easy as long as they're placed in a different part of the card

[red flower]

yeah

[near coral]

Also what's the formula for the score scaling stakes

If there is one

[red flower]

theres probably one in the wiki or something but in code they just do G.GAME.modifiers.scaling = (G.GAME.modifiers.scaling or 1) + 1

[near coral]

So if I wanted to do the opposite I would have it instead do
G.GAME.modifiers.scaling = (G.GAME.modifiers.scaling or 1) - 1

(Yes I know you're gonna fly through these antes but they're thematically accurate)

[red flower]

i think, idk if lowering it to 0 breaks anything

[near coral]

Idk what the code means I just wanna know how to do what I want it to

It'll make it easier for the coder to do their job

[timber crater]

anyone know how i can exclude specific textures from an object with malverk?

like, I have individual files for some of the jokers, and the others are in the default sheet arrangement

[final jewel]

    key = 'teal',
    atlas = "Decks",
    pos = {x = 0, y = 1},
    discovered = true,
    unlocked = true,
    apply = function(self, back)
        local hands = {}
        for k, v in ipairs(G.handlist) do
            if G.GAME.hands[v] and G.GAME.hands[v].visible then
                hands[#hands+1] = v
            end
        end
        for _ = 1, 7, 1 do
            level_up_hand(nil, pseudorandom_element(hands, pseudoseed('Teal')), nil, 1)
        end
    end
}```I dont see why I crash

[faint yacht]

1. Wrap that in an event.
2. Use SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(handname) instead of checking for .visible.

[final jewel]

ok nice

[pastel kernel]

how do you make Xchips score in an enhanced card?```lua
config = { Xmult = 2.5, Xchips = 2.5, extra = { odds = 4 } },

[pastel kernel]

apparently it can only register fucking "x_chips" as a valid xchips argument

[frosty dock]

you could also just use a calculate function?

[vale grove]

    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        if not from_debuff then
            G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = G.GAME.consumeable_buffer + 1
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'before',
                delay = 0.0,
                func = function()
                    SMODS.add_card({ set = 'Tarot' })
                    G.GAME.consumeable_buffer = 0
                    return true
                end
            }))
            return { message = "Tarot", colour = G.C.GREEN }
        end
    end,

iam trying to make a seal that upon its own destruction gives a consumable (tarot for testing) but i cant really understand why this doesnt work

    remove_from_deck = function(self, card, from_debuff)
        if not from_debuff then

upon some testing its this that doesnt work but i dont know why

[daring fern]

Playing cards don't have remove_from_deck

[vale grove]

then what function do i use on destruction for seals?

[rigid solar]

in the mod calculate function, you can check cards on context.removed and if it has the seal then you do your stuff?

[pale holly]

i don't really have a codding issue but i would like to know if someone could help me understand this from VanillaRemade, how does the code works to make it recognize a straight ? the exemple states it but nothing else really defines a straight on itself

[daring fern]

if context.remove_playing_cards and you check if context.removed contains card

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/main/src/overrides.lua#L624-L688

[pastel kernel]

You use G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED to get the value of the current speed setting?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[blazing helm]

is there a way to give SMODS.scale_card a scaling val not in the extra table?
rn im scaling my card like this:

    bits_gained = function (card, data)
        print("bits: " .. data.bits)
        card.ability.extra.bitts = card.ability.extra.bitts + tonumber(data.bits)
        attention_text({
            text = "+" .. data.bits,
            scale = 0.75,
            hold = 1,
            fade = 1,
            major = card,
            colour = G.C.PURPLE,
        })
    end,

but iv learnd of the SMODS.scale_card func so im updating all my jokers to use it but this one scales with a value thats not in the card.ability.extra table. is there a way to give the scale func this value directly? making a new val in the extra table and then clearing it seems needlessly complex

wait nvm im just dumb

data is a table so i can just use the scalar_table lmao

[sleek valley]

my custom consumeable's label doesnt work properly and i'm honestly not sure why, i followed the advice of everything on vremade but nothing

[red flower]

i usually just look up tarot in the vremade loc file to see where i need to put the labels

[sleek valley]

i did and i saw it put in misc = { labels = {} }

unless there's something i'm missing?

[hushed field]

you need an entry in dictionary, not in labels, no?

I think for Kino, I only use the labels table for stickers and seals. For new consumable types, it's in dictionary

[sleek valley]

that makes enough sense, sure

[red flower]

what ice said, but i mean that if you ctrl+f you can find it in multiple places

[hushed field]

it's a common tripping ground, tbh, and I don't even know if there's logic behind it

[sleek valley]

it's logic, aka near none lol

either way it works now, thx :3

[red flower]

ill add it to the docs

[sleek valley]

i was actually about ask if there's a dedicated page for ConsumeableType or not

[red flower]

yes, but it is under the ObjectType one

[blissful raft]

how should i start coding

[blazing helm]

start small. try making basic stuff first. try making just Joker to start then move up from there

[timber crater]

any idea whats up with yorick? I tried setting him to a Spectral, using soul and soul_keys, and even just having a second AltTexture for the skull. closest i got was the skull loading directly below the card

[blazing helm]

SMODS Wiki is a great place to get started and if you dont know how to implement something VanillaRemade is a create place to see how the vanilla jokers are made

[red flower]

also check out the vanillaremade wiki too

[blazing helm]

omg this would have been so helpfull when i got started O: wish i know of this lmao ya check this out

[tranquil echo]

does anybody have a set of placeholder icons i can use?

stuff like jokers, packs, blinds, etc

[slim ferry]

i have a set

one moment

let me remove all the stuff thats only relevant for my mod real quick

[blazing helm]

is there a way to alter the likely hood of cards showing up in the shop/packs? i wanna make a joker that makes rarer cards more common and common cards more rare

[slim ferry]

here

i also have blinds though theyre on a seperate spritesheet

[tranquil echo]

ouuuu i love you so much gor that

thats so fun lmao

[astral pine]

You could use G.GAME.common_mod with the rarity you want to modify

[slim ferry]

its possible for rarities, for consumable types its a bit jankier though

and for individual cards isnt possible at all as of now

[astral pine]

Has anyone had lovely patch duplication? I think everytime the game builds it adds another line and removing the patches from the code doesn't remove them

Or are they meant to be permanent

[frosty dock]

lovely is a runtime patcher, they don't persist

[blazing helm]

how is it used? i dont see it in the game dumb and trying to find shit on the wiki that dones have a page is just hell

[frosty dock]

what do you mean by the game building though? that's not something lovely does

[slim ferry]

there is a G.GAME.rarity_key_mod value for each existing rarity which acts as a multiplier to its spawn rate

1 by default obviously

[astral pine]

Oh I see, it's just what I assumed because when I check in the game-dump I find this which happens even if I remove the related patch

[frosty dock]

... how

[astral pine]

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = 'functions/state_events.lua'
match_indent = true
position = 'after'
pattern = '''for i=1, hand_space do --draw cards from deckL
    if G.STATE == G.STATES.TAROT_PACK or G.STATE == G.STATES.SPECTRAL_PACK then 
        draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, i*100/hand_space,'up', true, cards_to_draw[i])
    else
        draw_card(G.deck,G.hand, i*100/hand_space,'up', true, cards_to_draw[i])
    end
end'''
payload = '''draw_extra_effect_lilith(hand_space)'''

Not really sure how this happens 😭

[frosty dock]

game_dump is before patches, so that's weird

[red flower]

it's not yet it's bugged iirc

so it's the same as dump

[frosty dock]

Anyway, the duplication is weird

does the number of added lines increase at all?

[blazing helm]

like so?

[slim ferry]

you should multiply the values rather than setting them

[blazing helm]

oki

also assuming this is only doen when i add the joker to the deck right?

[slim ferry]

yeah

though you should revert it in remove from deck

[blazing helm]

yip yip

also you said it cant be done for individual cards right? so there isnt a way to make soul and black hole more common?

[red flower]

not without patching create card iirc

i made something for that
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1193

but it's in waiting until smods adds the weights api

[astral pine]

I could have sworn it was 8 lines at some point
If I disable the mod it removes one line and if I reenable it it adds it back

[blazing helm]

damn. oh well, that would have just been nice to haves lol

[red flower]

do you have 8 copies of your mod installed maybe lol

check if there aren't any zips or anything like that in the folder

[astral pine]

oh 😭 nevermind

[red flower]

:'3

[blazing helm]

lol

[frosty dock]

lmao..

should have guessed that

[mystic river]

incredible...

[hidden aspen]

is there any way to automatically assign card to the correct area? joker to G.jokers and consumable to G.consumeables

or a way to check center's type

[fading rivet]

vocaloid deck spotted🔥

[timber crater]

anyone got any ideas?

[shrewd cobalt]

Is it possible to change the name of the joker when calc_dollar_bonus happens?

[red flower]

i have a pr for that
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1244

[shrewd cobalt]

Oh awesome

cause I really wanna fix this lol

[wintry solar]

You can add the rows manually for now

[timber crater]

anyone know why using soul_pos is crashing the game when the card is loaded?

also ftr raw_key is really not doing anything when its true or false which is why i left the mod prefix for the atlas

[red flower]

what is the crash

[timber crater]

this

[red flower]

well the key is invalid because of raw_key lol

[timber crater]

well when soul_pos isnt defined it works fine?

and removing the prefix also breaks it

well removing raw_key worked anyway 😭

[rare torrent]

how do i make this trigger before any joker scores every hand? it's currently triggering only after every joker is scored

    if context.before then
        if #G.jokers.cards > 1 then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'before',
                delay = 0.2,
                func = function()
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.jokers:shuffle('aajk')
                            play_sound('cardSlide1', 0.85)
                            return true
                        end,
                    }))
                    delay(0.15)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.jokers:shuffle('aajk')
                            play_sound('cardSlide1', 1.15)
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    delay(0.15)
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.jokers:shuffle('aajk')
                            play_sound('cardSlide1', 1)
                            return true
                        end
                    }))
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end
end```

[red flower]

remove the event that wraps the other events

[rare torrent]

thank you it now works!

[thorn basin]

what is the context for checking if the blind has been completed in 1 hand?
(probably the one that checks if the score is set on fire but I'm unsure)

[mystic river]

i don't think there's a context for this, just a global variable. something like SMODS.last_blind_oneshot, but search the code to be sure

[rough furnace]

It uses the built in poker hand part _straight for evaluation. https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.PokerHand#api-documentation-smodspokerhandpart
The code for this is part of steamodded https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/2294ccb5ec06fc7575f66fcc81ce7341a77ce4c2/src/game_object.lua#L2829-L2832

[pale holly]

Ah alright, so it basically use what smods has that defines a straight, so it's more of an extension of it

[rough furnace]

yeah and I think smods just calls into vanilla code (at least partially)

actually it might have complelty overrode the vanilla code

[red flower]

i think it does for straight

and it uses the vanilla one for flush

[frosty dock]

barely, it's heavily patched

[pale holly]

Ah alright i see, it's just when seeing the code of vanilla remade i was thinking there would be a way to for exemple explain if a straight had to be coded, how would it work and such

[frosty dock]

that's actually not that simple of a problem when accounting for custom ranks, I think that's just out of scope

Also it'd have to be kept updated when the smods implementation changes

[sleek valley]

is there a way to have a collection with custom dimensions or does it strictly have to be the default card sizes?

[frosty dock]

the collection UI code is a method on the consumable type that you can overwrite, there's no built-in way to tell it what size your cards are

that's probably a good idea to add though

for the cards themselves to have to proper size, you can use display_size/pixel_size

(unless you did that and somehow this collection doesn't respect it, which would be bad)

[rough furnace]

if you're just curious how a straight implementaiton might work, the simplest way would be to sort the cards, then check if they are sequential

balatro has a looot of edge cases that make this real funny (especially modded)

theres the concept of "sharp edges" where the ace can both start and end a straight (but not be used in the middle of one) which has to be handled

balatro allows you to have more cards played than cards needed (four fingers) so you have to handle duplicate ranks

balatro can allow holes in the straights (shortcut) which menas you need to handle gaps

theres also been some work to make "quantum ranks" (think wild card for ranks), and that adds a whole bunch of complications

it slows down the algorithm a lot

[sleek valley]

where would i add that exactly?

just so i dont flounder about trying to figure it out myself lol

[frosty dock]

if it's uniform across all consumables, you can set it in an inject_card function on the ConsumableType

else you could add it to the consumables individually

[pale holly]

yeah, i just saw that even making a hand for enhancements ask a little extra to it, so that's fair

[thorn basin]

I made a joker that gives +1 hand every time a blind is completed in 1 hand (aka score catches on fire) and resets the quantity of hands when it doesn't happen anymore.
I tried doing so with a variable that store the quantity of hands added to then use it for resetting the hands to the previous amount but for some reason it crashes the game.
is there a way I can fix this?

[daring fern]

Log?

[sleek valley]

yup, that's good! ty :3
(probably dont need the width line but i'll keep it to be safe)

[thorn basin]

it says that handsQuantity is a nil value despite I set it to an integer

[mystic river]

you defined it in loc_vars and then tried to access it in calculate
that's out of scope

is there a reason it's a local variable and not stored in the card?

[thorn basin]

no reason at all, I actually wanted to know how to store said variable in the joker card

[mystic river]

that's what card.ability.extra is

[thorn basin]

oh I see

[sleek valley]

there's a way to replace the default undiscovered/locked images with your own right? i swear i saw documentation of it somewhere in the wiki and i forgot where

[rapid stag]

i've been waiting for malverk to add locked/undiscovered sprite support for about a year now
it was confirmed, but i don't know when eremel plans to implement it

[sleek valley]

damn -w-

[rapid stag]

there is probably some way you can do it via steamodded, but i don't know if it's some kind of atlas overwriting or something

[sleek valley]

i mean, i see a potential way to do it, but not one i'm confident in lol

[rapid stag]

i am greatly interested in this, please let me know your findings

[sleek valley]

welll dont hold your breath lol
i'm still pretty new to modding, i barely understand patches, so i can safely say i dont have the skill to make it possible, at least not immedieately .w.

[slim ferry]

You can create custom undiscovered sprites for consumable types

And thats it afaik?

And entirely custom center types too i think

[rapid stag]

of course. feel free to reach out about anything you don't quite understand, that's generally what this channel's for - but personally this specific area of spriting code is largely unknown territory for me

[sleek valley]

oh, we'll that's good to know!

but how tho? if not through patching smods

[slim ferry]

Create an SMODS.UndiscoveredSprite with the same key as the consumable type

And then atlas, pos, and soul_pos for the usual sprite stuff

[twilit hearth]

I am struggling to find the file path for the default balatro assets??

I've found it before but holy hell I cannot find it again

[sleek valley]

omfg, UndiscoveredSprite, i KNEW i had seen it before!!

[sleek valley]

what assets specifically?

[slim ferry]

resources folder?

[twilit hearth]

like the images

[slim ferry]

in the exe

[twilit hearth]

i have to be lost or something

hold on

[slim ferry]

Its inside the exe

[twilit hearth]

ah

[slim ferry]

You need to open/unzip it with something like 7zip

[twilit hearth]

I gotcha okay that makes sense

[slim ferry]

Or just copy and rename the copy to balatro.zip

Make sure to have file extensions displayed turned on in file explorer for that though

[sleek valley]

yeah, that's always amused me

just being able to open up the game like that, it's the easiest i've ever seen a game be breakable lol

[frosty rampart]

iirc hades is the same

[sleek valley]

i wouldnt know, havent played the game, as much as i want to

[slim ferry]

It just depends on the compiler

How much you can get out of opening up the exe

[dapper sun]

careful or i'll gift it to you when i get paid next

i have lots of power through you being friended on steam

[sleek valley]

ooohhhh noooo, the hoorrooooooooorrrr
whateverrrr will i dooo to avoiiiidd such a teerrriiblleee faaateeeeeee

:3

[dapper sun]

:3

the horror is you doing what i did when i bought hades (play it once and then not touch it again)

[rapid stag]

...undiscoveredsprite? and it's only for consumables? why wouln't you be able to do it for joker or back types?

[slim ferry]

Probably because its decided per set value on a center/card

[sleek valley]

you underestimate my ability to hyperfixate

i have been doing nothing but balala modding for the last week lmao

[dapper sun]

true

[slim ferry]

Rather than just being in a specific pool of G.P_CENTER_POOLS

Also backs are never undiscovered so like

[thorn basin]

this joker I made is supposed to increase all listed probabilities by 1 if the score catches on fire on the 1st played hand of the round

yet it doesn't do that

and it should reset when the score doesn't catch on fire on the 1st hand

but instead it crashes

how can I fix this?

[slim ferry]

card.ability.extra.handsQuantity does not exist

Also most of these contexts do not calculate at the same time

[near coral]

My coder says that even though I put the stake stickers in a different place on the card it still only displays one sticker, I was told I can display stickers from multiple stake sets if I just don't make them overlap

[daring fern]

If you want to display multiple stake stickers you would have to draw them manually with a SMODS.DrawStep

[near coral]

What is drawstep

[thorn basin]

ah oof I forgot to change it, also wdym by most of these contexts do not calculate at the same time?

[slim ferry]

context.mod_probability and context.after are never simultaneously true yet youre checking for both

[daring fern]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DrawStep

[thorn basin]

so how do I exactly change the listed probabilities in context.after then?

[frosty rampart]

man why isn't your coder the one asking for help
it'd be a lot easier to talk to them directly

[slim ferry]

not?

Thats not when probabilities are changed

[frosty rampart]

change the value stored in the card.ability during context.after, and just use that stored value during context.mod_probability

the calculate function is called many times over the course of even a single hand

[thorn basin]

ooooh okay that makes sense

[near coral]

Primarily because they do a majority of the work and I try to help them in any way I can
The other reason is because their english isn't the best so I can translate what I get from here into the formatted speech I use when reporting logs

[frosty rampart]

ah, that's fair

[near coral]

The main reason is the first but the explanation is the second if that makes sense

[hidden aspen]

whats the point of Card.from_tag???

its checked here but i also dont get this

oh is this just for stats

[daring fern]

This was because context.check_eternal is called every frame for every joker and consumable that is highlighted.

[scenic steeple]

strange question, let's say hypothetically, what if I wanted a joker that when 2 of this same joker exist, both get destroyed and spawns a different joker ;]

[frosty rampart]

SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_jokerkey") returns a table of all copies that you own of the joker specified. you can call it in the joker's add_to_deck function to check if you already have it (i'm not sure if it'll count the one currently being added or not, so it'll either show 1 or 2 copies of the joker when you want to spawn the different joker), and then if the condition is met, call SMODS.destroy_cards to destroy the jokers and SMODS.add_card to add the new joker

[hidden aspen]

does anyone know a proper way to trigger a booster pack opening?

if i give player a tag it works perfectly, but if i trigger the same code that tag triggers, the state ends prematurely

local create_booster_pack = function ()
    -- local lock = 2081
    -- G.CONTROLLER.locks[lock] = true
    local key = 'p_arcana_mega_'..(math.random(1,2))
    local card = Card(G.play.T.x + G.play.T.w/2 - G.CARD_W*1.27/2,
    G.play.T.y + G.play.T.h/2-G.CARD_H*1.27/2, G.CARD_W*1.27, G.CARD_H*1.27, G.P_CARDS.empty, G.P_CENTERS[key], {bypass_discovery_center = true, bypass_discovery_ui = true})
    card.cost = 0
    card.from_tag = true
    G.FUNCS.use_card({config = {ref_table = card}})
    card:start_materialize()
    -- G.CONTROLLER.locks[lock] = nil
end

NVM the tag doesnt work either, its something on my end then

[long sun]

my menu needs to do something when Escape is pressed, how do i do that?

[daring fern]

Hook Controller:key_press_update and check if your menu is open and key == 'escape'

[long sun]

thanks ^u^

[long sun]

is there a way to create a card and have that card not block itself?

i'm getting a very weird Death Note bug

ah i see

smods allows that

nevermind, i misread what that parameter did

[red flower]

wdym

like as if you had showman or something else

[long sun]

ya so the reason I ask is, Death Note's consumables menus seem to maintain the cards they had when leaving

so I'd love either a way of fixing that, or a way of creating cards that don't block themselves

[red flower]

does it open a menu with cards in them?

[long sun]

mhm

it uses G.your_collection

[red flower]

ah yeah thats a bug i had to fix in my mod

one sec

it happens if you create cards before the overlay menu is opened

[long sun]

oooooo ic!

thanku! I'll give that a try

[vital wren]

can i not set the Pinned sticker to have a visual by just changing its atlas? do i need to also modify Card:draw or something?

[sturdy compass]

You should be able to do that yeah

I've def seen it done before

[vital wren]

not getting there with this. what's wrong?

SMODS.Sticker:take_ownership('pinned',  -- object key (class prefix not required)
    { -- table of properties to change from the existing object
        atlas = 'balatro-revalanced-stickers',
        pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
    },
    true    -- silent | suppress mod badge
)

[red flower]

the problem is that the sticker drawstep checks for card.ability.sticker but pinned is an exception since its in card.pinned

you would need to patch or copy this

[vital wren]

could i just set it to also have card.ability.sticker set to 'pinned'?

[red flower]

sorry, by that i meant that it expects card.ability.pinned

but yeah you could

you would need to also copy the rest of the apply function

which is not a lot lol

[vital wren]

yeah that works. just needed to add

apply = function(self, card, val)
    card.ability[self.key] = val
end

[long sun]

liftoff! thanks, N!

[vital wren]

the deathnote?!

[long sun]

:3

[red flower]

does it still work tho, thats missing the pinned application

it should be
card[self.key] = val
card.ability[self.key] = val

[vital wren]

not working right no... it borked the localization cuz it's actually pinned_left in vanilla

[red flower]

it will break many more things without the card.pinned

[vital wren]

will try doing both like you say

[sturdy compass]

yeah pinned is really weird 😭

[vital wren]

yeah its not actually appearing on the pinned knife in Knife's Edge challenge

astra how did you do it?

[sturdy compass]

I said I saw it done before, not that I've done it lol

[vital wren]

oh sorry, misread

[sturdy compass]

all g

[red flower]

personally i would have patched the drawstep

[vital wren]

yeah im thinking that might be easier.

[vital wren]

im trying to set up the sprite, but it's not able to grab the atlas. is this not how im meant to do that?

local shared_sticker_pinned = Sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, SMODS.Atlas["balatro-revalanced-stickers"], {x = 2, y = 0})```

[frosty rampart]

you should be using SMODS.create_sprite, and also yea you need to access it from G.ASSET_ATLAS

[vital wren]

local shared_sticker_pinned = SMODS.create_sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, G.ASSET_ATLAS["balatro-revalanced-stickers"], {x = 2, y = 0})```

changed to this. it crashes for trying to concatinate atlas key

[daring fern]

It should be modprefix_atlaskey

[frosty rampart]

oh right my bad
create_sprite takes just the string of the atlas key, not the atlas object itself

and yes what somethingcom said

[daring fern]

No, it takes both.

[vital wren]

its saying my atlas key is invalid (it works with my other stickers just fine)

[sturdy compass]

are you adding your mod prefix to the atlas key?

[vital wren]

i tried both ways twice

[frosty rampart]

what's the code that creates the atlas

[vital wren]

SMODS.Atlas{
   key = "balatro-revalanced-stickers",
   path = "stickers.png",
   px = 71,
   py = 95
}

[frosty rampart]

ok and what's your mod's prefix

[vital wren]

vb

[frosty rampart]

so it should be "vb_balatro-revalanced-stickers"

[vital wren]

yes, i tried it twice already

[frosty rampart]

so what's the exact crash message then?

[sturdy compass]

how odd

[vital wren]

i agree lol

[umbral zodiac]

is your atlas loading

[vital wren]

my other stickers appear correctly

[umbral zodiac]

wtf

[daring fern]

Where are you running this?

[vital wren]

yep, just commented out what im working on and loaded into the game to confirm. the atlas is working normally

local outside of any function. i figured i didn't want to run it inside drawstep. do i need to put it into a Game:start_up hook?

[daring fern]

No, you would do it in a Game:main_menu hook.

[frosty rampart]

yea you can't do it until the atlas actually exists properly

[vital wren]

okay, that part is compiling now. my hook for SMODS.DrawStep isn't right though. my attempt:

local original_draw_stickers = SMODS.DrawStep['stickers']
SMODS.DrawStep {
    key = 'stickers',
    order = 40,
    func = function(self, layer)
        if self.pinned then
            G.shared_sticker_pinned.role.draw_major = self
            G.shared_sticker_pinned:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, self.children.center)
            G.shared_sticker_pinned:draw_shader('voucher', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, self.children.center)
        end
    
        return original_draw_stickers(self, layer)
    end,
}

it's not correctly grabbing the original draw step. so im guessing i can't grab it that way

oh, im dumb

tried to add .func but that didn't help lol

[pastel kernel]

How to check for “each discarded card”

[daring fern]

local oldstickersdrawstepfunc = SMODS.DrawSteps['stickers'].func
SMODS.DrawSteps['stickers'].func = function(self, layer)
    if self.pinned then
        G.shared_sticker_pinned.role.draw_major = self
        G.shared_sticker_pinned:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, self.children.center)
        G.shared_sticker_pinned:draw_shader('voucher', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, self.children.center)
    end
    return oldstickersdrawstepfunc(self, layer)
end

[vital wren]

if context.discard and not context.other_card.debuff then

[vital wren]

ohhh, .stickers.func not ['stickers'.func thanks

[umbral zodiac]

i feel like you shouldn't need the debuff check but idk

[vital wren]

depends what you're checking

[umbral zodiac]

i dont actually know im just intuiting that Things calculating on debuffed cards by default and the same as other cards seems wrong

[vital wren]

mail in rebate doesn't work on debuffed cards for example

[daring fern]

No, the problems were that it's SMODS.DrawSteps['stickers'].func not SMODS.DrawStep['stickers'] and you need to modify SMODS.DrawSteps['stickers'].func directly.

[umbral zodiac]

oh i guess you do have to check for debuff yea i just checked

that's strange

[vital wren]

finally

code to add sprite for pinned cards in case anyone searches this later

local original_main_menu = Game.main_menu
function Game:main_menu(change_context)
    G.shared_sticker_pinned = SMODS.create_sprite(0, 0, G.CARD_W, G.CARD_H, "modprefix_atlaskey", {x = 0, y = 0})
    return original_main_menu(self, change_context)
end

local oldstickersdrawstepfunc = SMODS.DrawSteps['stickers'].func
SMODS.DrawSteps['stickers'].func = function(self, layer)
    if self.pinned then
        G.shared_sticker_pinned.role.draw_major = self
        G.shared_sticker_pinned:draw_shader('dissolve', nil, nil, nil, self.children.center)
        G.shared_sticker_pinned:draw_shader('voucher', nil, self.ARGS.send_to_shader, nil, self.children.center)
    end
    return oldstickersdrawstepfunc(self, layer)
end

[pastel kernel]

Do i use context.other_card on set_ability?

[vital wren]

to do what?

[daring fern]

No, set_ability doesn't have context

[pastel kernel]

Unscoring cards become Steel, Discarded cards become Nanotech.

[daring fern]

if context.discard then
    context.other_card:set_ability('m_modprefix_key', nil, true)
elseif context.individual and context.cardarea == 'unscored' then
    context.other_card:set_ability('m_steel', nil, true)
end

[vital wren]

i also used this for a cycling enhancement that has a chance to refund the discard when it gets discarded, but didn't want it to do that if debuffed

[granite raptor]

can you return chips/mult/etc in a mod calculate or sticker's calculate?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[vital wren]

is there a context i can use for at the end of a round but before gold cards and blue seals are calculated?

[daring fern]

if context.after and G.GAME.chips >= G.GAME.blind.chips?

[vital wren]

oh smart

[granite raptor]

follow up question, do mod and sticker calculates not have access to the individual context? trying to run the following code to make a sticker that applies to playing cards and grants xmult and it doesn't seem to work in the sticker's calculate nor the mod calculate. not even the print line runs.

    if context.individual and context.other_card.ability.wafflemod_cerulean and context.cardarea == G.play then
        print("scored")
        return {
            xmult = 3,
            message_card = context.other_card,
        }
    end

[red flower]

it should work on mods

[red flower]

are you trying to make a sticker that just gives xmult when played?

[granite raptor]

pretty much. why, does the standard config (i.e. not the config.extra) work for stickers or something?

[red flower]

thats the wrong context

it's just context.main_scoring

and cardarea too

although im not entirely sure if everything works correctly for stickers on playing cards

[vital wren]

it's not actually working for some reason :(

[red flower]

whats the goal?

you probably need G.GAME.chips + SMODS.calculate_round_score() >= G.GAME.blind.chips i think

[vital wren]

wait, context.end_of_round should be happening before the gold cards and blue seals according to end_round()

will do more testing

[granite raptor]

ok update the mod calculate seems to run the print statement with context.individual but the actual return doesn't work
also context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play doesn't seem to do anything

[vital wren]

yep, i was just mistaken before. context.end_of_round gets calculated before gold cards and blue seals

[red flower]

the return works fine for me

main scoring in stickers also works fine for me

something is broken on your end

[granite raptor]

let me just make sure i've got an up-to-date steammodded

okay, just updated steammodded, the return here still doesn't do anything even if the print runs weirdly enough

if context.individual and context.other_card.ability.wafflemod_cerulean and context.cardarea == G.play then
    print("scored")
    return {
        xmult = 3
    }
end

actually let me just try SMODS.calculate_effect rq

[red flower]

i copied that code without the sticker check and it worked fine idk

[granite raptor]

that is incredibly weird then

SMODS.calculate_effect works but displays the effect before the "+(rank) chips"

[daring fern]

Yes, the effect has to be in the return if you want the timing to be correct.

[red flower]

i would check if there isnt code in your mod that is messing with returns

because that could probably be a pain in the future even if you do a hack now

[granite raptor]

did this and found the issue, sticker works now

ty for the help

[feral storm]

I'm working on a back atm that I'd like to be able to swap the sprite of at the end of every round. How would I go about changing the initial pos in the atlas during gameplay?

[vital wren]

how do i reference the consumeables area?

[frosty rampart]

G.consumeables? the cards within the area are in G.consumeables.cards, just like other cardareas

[vital wren]

does self.area.config.type == 'consumeable' accomplish that given self is a card?

no, that's the card's type

[daring fern]

No, it would be self.area == G.consumeables

[vital wren]

yep, that's the one. just got there myself. thanks <3

[daring fern]

for k, v in pairs(G.I.CARD) do
    if v.children.back then
        v.children.back:set_sprite_pos({x = x, y = y})
    end
end

[feral storm]

Worked perfectly, thx

[normal crest]

Did you ever find a solution to this

It happens whenever you pass a y offset apparently

very noticeable here and dunno what to do

[daring fern]

I didn't find a perfect solution, but I did find something that fixes most of it: #💻・modding-dev message

Also it happens when you apply any offset at all.

[normal crest]

that makes sense, I only ever used very small x offsets so it wasn't noticeable there

[versed swan]

How do you get the hand of your currently selected cards (while selecting cards, not during scoring)?

[daring fern]

The first output of G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)

[versed swan]

thank you

[pastel kernel]

spawns Mr. Hilgard when a joker that is not Marie or Mr. Hilgard is destroyed.

[daring fern]

if context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card.ability.set == 'Joker' and context.card.config.center.key ~= 'j_modprefix_key' and context.card.config.center.key ~= 'j_modprefix_key2' then
    SMODS.add_card({key = 'j_modprefix_key2'})

is not working

[daring fern]

Code?

[elder rune]

How do you beat a blind when using a consumable

[red flower]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-immediately-win-a-blind

[elder rune]

I should really just start checking Vremade before asking

[wild patrol]

vargskelethor reference

funny meme joker

[elder rune]

yay time related joker

my beloved

[gilded blaze]

||time-related is a known concept in Cold Beans, but I won't judge since it's meant to be hidden until release||

[slim ferry]

This is lunch from GOTCE coded

[wild patrol]

wouldn't say it's hidden it's built into the lua coding language

one thing i'm trying to figure out is this

[slim ferry]

I think its built into Physics actually

[wild patrol]

I can't get it to use the jokers name

[gilded blaze]

what I meant is that Cold Beans' content is hidden from the public until release

[slim ferry]

are you using localize

[wild patrol]

Trying to use Localization but doesn't want to work

Not sure if it's related to a custom ui box or not

[slim ferry]

you should use localize{ type = "name_text", key = key, set = "Joker" }

For getting the name

[gilded blaze]

typing on phone sucks

no way can I beat a pc user

[primal robin]

worth trying I guess

[slim ferry]

What

Where pc user

I typed that on mobile

[wild patrol]

is key supposed to = key?

[slim ferry]

Wdym

Thats where you put the joker key

[wild patrol]

brain no work good

Doesn't seem to work

[elder rune]

key = joker key
where joker key is your joker's key (j_modprefix_whatever)

[wild patrol]

localize{ type = "Mods", key = j_ttv_mods, set = "Joker" }

[elder rune]

where you modprefix is "ttv" and joker is called "mods"?

[wild patrol]

yes

[elder rune]

then it should probably work

[slim ferry]

its not a string

[elder rune]

oh yeah

[slim ferry]

also why did you change type

that should still be name_text

[wild patrol]

oh

[elder rune]

Doesn't work :/

Tryna make a profanity filter for my mod and while the toggle works it just seemingly doesn't change the setting

[slim ferry]

if this is in a localization file you would need to reload localization first

[elder rune]

?

[slim ferry]

debugplus hotkey that i forgot or change language

[elder rune]

alr

so I have to reload localization every time?

[frosty rampart]

for testing yea
just tell your users that it's a toggle that requires restarting the game

[elder rune]

ah

[red flower]

the proper way would be to do it in loc_vars rather than in the localization file, to avoid restarting

[elder rune]

yeah ig that works too

[analog spoke]

been a while since I've done anything to crazy w balatro modding, so question, how would I make a "variable rarity"? Idea I had for it was simple, a rarity that only shows up during endless, or rather, ante 9 and beyond would be the actual definition probably

[red flower]

use get_weight
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Rarity#api-methods

[slim ferry]

You can actually check if youre in endless i think(?)

G.GAME.won is set to true after winning the run and therefore starting endless

[analog spoke]

hmm, I see dsfjk
well, I think I'll still use ante simply cuz I was planning on maybe having it scale, like, having the chance be like, 5% on ante 9 but like 20% or something at ante 20, you know?

[analog spoke]

did I understand it's usage right here?
used a bit of help from the vanilla remade thing too

also, I know that "ante" here isn't right lol, but I wasn't sure what the right one was lol sdfnkj

probably something like current_ante I'd assume?

[slim ferry]

G.GAME.round_resets.ante

[analog spoke]

thank you!

[analog spoke]

welp, I messed something up here lmao nsdfjk idk what tho, clueless here 😭 knowing me it has to be a typo of some kind lol sndfjk

sorry, more context ndsjk

haven't been thinking well lately lol dnsfk, sorry if I'm not doing this well rn lol sdfds

oh, damn, how I forgot to put the number part in when that was the main reason I tried the screenshot idk lmao, sdfnkj, line 10 should be the SMODS.load_file("Items/rarity.lua")()

[red flower]

looks that its not finding that file

[analog spoke]

I'm not sure why, the file is in the right location, hmm smndfkj, is there something in the rarity lua I'm missing or something? tho, I'm not sure why that'd matter if it's not even detecting it's existence sdfnjk

[slim ferry]

did you save the file

and is it actually in the Items folder

[analog spoke]

yes, I even went a little crazy and resaved the same file like 9 times without even making changes because, as they say, the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting something different to happen, lmao sdnfjksd 💀

[distant junco]

            local text, _ = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.hand.highlighted)
            if text == card.ability.extra.hand_type then
                card.ability.extra.me_debuffing = true
                return {
                    debuff = true
                }
            end
        end
```little help with this, please! when about to play the hand, it tells me it wont score and then scores anyway

[slim ferry]

You should check context.scoring_name instead of using get_poker_hand_info

[distant junco]

i thought it would be that

thanks

[random basin]

is there a way to dynamically update a joker description during scoring? this doesn't seem to work

        local numerator = SMODS.get_probability_vars(card, 1, card.ability.extra.current_odds, 'fgc_EWGF')
        return {
            vars = {numerator, card.ability.extra.current_odds, card.ability.extra.Xmult}
        }
    end,
    calculate = function(self,card,context)
        if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and not context.blueprint then
            if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'fgc_EWGF', 1, card.ability.extra.current_odds) then
                card.ability.extra.current_odds = card.ability.extra.current_odds + 1
                return {
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
                }
            end
        end
        if context.final_scoring_step then
            card.ability.extra.current_odds = 3
        end
    end```

I could just send a message on each card with the updated odds but I want to see if I can get it to update in the description first

[slim ferry]

all parts of scoring calculate immediately after each other, so the reset will have already happened by the time the hand actually animates

You would probably have to reset the value in an event, but even then it would instantly show the final value it reaches in scoring

[random basin]

return statement it is then

                return {
                    message = numerator.." in "..denominator.." chance",
                    xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult
                }```

[wanton jolt]

How does one give a random joker that must have two specific pools

eh i just made a pool for both

[sour garden]

would it be possible to make a joker that, when owned, disables enhancements from working? like the card still scores, but the enhancement doesn't?

i managed to get something working earlier where if the card has an enhancement, it just doesn't score whatsoever, but that's not exactly what i'm looking for

[red flower]

i tried it the other day but it was annoying so i scrapped it but it seems possible

[analog spoke]

sorry, took a small break lol, now that I'm in a better mindstate, here's some more info to help debugging whatever's going on here lol

it's bizarre tho, like, what piece isn't working here? lol nsdkfj
like, how does it detect my jokers.lua fine but not the rarity.lua dnsdfjk

[mystic river]

you're short an end

so when it tries to load the file, it gets an error instead of a chunk

[dapper sun]

how would i put an atlas sprite into a card's description text

[analog spoke]

oh thank you!
that's such a classic issue from me lol smndfjk
yeah, I added the "if/then" without adding an "end" to accompany it right?

[dapper sun]

but like,, in the middle not the end

[slim ferry]

uhhhhh

i dont think you can? Not without a bunch of patches i imagine

or
