[tranquil echo]

i changed that in my code too ^^

    key = 'effectgive',
    primary_colour = G.C.RED,
    secondary_colour = G.C.RED,
    default = 'PLACEHOLDER',
    collection_rows = {4,4},
}

me too

[wanton jolt]

oh then its b_embr_effectgive_cards = "Effects",

you put a k where a b shouldve been

[tranquil echo]

oh my god

im so sorry 😭

[wanton jolt]

its fine i know u read my screenshot

[daring fern]

No, it would be b_effectgive_cards

[wanton jolt]

doesnt consumabletype embed the mod name to the key

if not then listen to somethingcom because they know this more than i do 😭

[tranquil echo]

i tried both of your syntax and niethe rworked 😭

[daring fern]

No, SMODS.ObjectTypes and SMODS.ConsumableTypes don't have mod prefixes.

[daring fern]

What does your localization file look like?

[tranquil echo]

  
  misc={
    
    dictionary ={
      
      b_effectgive_cards = "Effects",
      
    },
    
  },
}```

thats it

[wanton jolt]

did u include the localization file in ur main

[tranquil echo]

oh my god

😭

thank you

[wanton jolt]

no i mean

wait

i'm dumb

localisation file shoud be in your mod folder / localization / en-us.lua

[tranquil echo]

oh my god finally

thank you fellas

[tranquil echo]

im tweaked out
what letter do i put here for my card key
[X]_embr_PLACEHOLDER = {

i have no idea

[daring fern]

c

[tranquil echo]

why c?

[fallen timber]

Spam?

[tranquil echo]

[slim ferry]

c for consumable i think

[tranquil echo]

i mean it worked but for what purpose

oh that makes so much sense

okay tyty

@noble ore please stop talking 😭

[slim ferry]

-# just ignore that c_base exists in vanilla

[fallen timber]

Do we ping mods

[slim ferry]

<@&1133519078540185692>

Spam

Also fyi the steamodded wiki page has the class prefixes for each smods object on its page
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

[tranquil echo]

oh my god it does?

im just blind

😭 im just slow

ty

[fallen timber]

Which one? Boss, small or big?

[tranquil echo]

i am the serpent

[fallen timber]

Noted

[tranquil echo]

genuinely i think im slow

embr_effectGive = "Potion",
why is the label not showing 😭

    dictionary = {
      b_effectgive_cards = "Effects",
    },
    labels = {
      embr_effectgive = "Potion",
    },
  },```

[idle plaza]

embr_effectGive vs embr_effectgive, it probably matters if the G is capital or not. You should make it fully consistent.

[tranquil echo]

it doesnt work either way

capital G or not it does not display the label

[daring fern]

Remove embr_

[tranquil echo]

nope

[daring fern]

It should be k_key in dictionary

[tranquil echo]

wait i just realized your pfp

you play poly bridge too?

peak

oh urray!! thank you

i was follwing what vanilla reamde was doing

[wraith jolt]

@daring fern I have been trying to figure out how you place seal and enhancement on Jokers, like a DaVinci Code. My God I am terrible at codding but I work with four other people who can code not even they know how you did this madness, dude you got share your secrets

[daring fern]

Seals can already be placed on jokers, so I just hooked Card:calculate_seal. For enhancements, I just set a value on the card and calculate the enhancements on certain contexts.

[wraith jolt]

Your going to have to set me a code break down because both my modders friends told that was impossible

[slim ferry]

Cant you just

Look at the repository

[wraith jolt]

I tried but can't find anything that outright said localization: Enchantment on Jokers or seal on Jokers hook

Or least my very not skilled eyes didn't catch it

[daring fern]

Yes, I don't comment my code.

[wraith jolt]

I apologize, obviously didn't even get close yourstuff very complicated. It was example of how I don't know how to read code

Could be better if I send message, so it not here in public?

[pastel kernel]

ok so this one is tricky, i am trying to make a joker that creates clones of used planet cards, and they all have a 1 in 4 chance of becoming negative.

i wann ask how to create clones of used planet cards

[idle plaza]

You can refer to VanillaRemade for all the parts of what you want to do. Constellation for the context of using a planet card, Perkeo for the effect of duplicating consumeables.

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

[pastel kernel]

i mean, i'd still have to keep track of the card being used.

[granite jay]

Is it possible to replace the small and big blinds with a random boss blind each?

[idle plaza]

That one's just on the smods wiki, it's context.consumeable available with context.using_consumeable

[pastel kernel]

hmm... local card_to_copy, _ = context.consumeable

[daring fern]

local function better_copy_card(card, new_card, area)
    if not card then return nil end
    local area = area or (new_card and new_card.area) or card.area or G.jokers
    local cardwasindeck = new_card and new_card.added_to_deck or nil
    local copy = copy_card(card, new_card)
    if new_card and cardwasindeck then copy:remove_from_deck() end
    if card.playing_card then
        G.playing_card = (G.playing_card and G.playing_card + 1) or 1
        copy.playing_card = G.playing_card
        G.deck.config.card_limit = G.deck.config.card_limit + 1
        table.insert(G.playing_cards, copy)
    end
    if (new_card and cardwasindeck) or not new_card then copy:add_to_deck() end
    if not new_card then area:emplace(copy) end
    return copy
end
if context.using_consumeable then
    local copy = better_copy_card(context.consumeable)
    if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, self.key, 1, 4) then
        copy:set_edition('e_negative')
    end
end

[wraith jolt]

@daring fern What the hook use for enchantment on Joker?

[thorn ingot]

Hi guys. Do you know how I could make SMODS.add_card add a card from the most played rank?

Been trying to figure it out, but no luck.

[sleek valley]

nothing in the game tracks most played card rank to my knowledge, so you'd need to make a whole custom stat for it

[thorn ingot]

Yeah, I was starting to realize that just a bit ago.

     for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
         ranks[v:get_id()] = (ranks[v:get_id()] or 0) + v.base.times_played
     end
 table.sort(ranks, function(a, b) return a > b end)
 local mostplayed = ranks[1]```

You reckon this could work?

[sleek valley]

yeah, i think that'll do!

[thorn ingot]

aight, thanks.

[fading rivet]

really need to find a way to disable this omg

[wraith jolt]

Long story short an ex flagged my account

[fading rivet]

an ex

oh

bruh

How could I make a dynamic UI
like say a piece that constantly moves across the screen

[wraith jolt]

I ask the mod and discord server and none them give me a solution

[frosty dock]

this happens with discord itself, they actually can't help you

you'd have to take that up with discord themselves, and they probably don't care either

[pastel kernel]

how do you make this button affect a specific joker's values?

function G.FUNCS.stealmoney()
    ease_dollars(-5)
end

this is for ultra greed, when you press the button, it should spend 5 dollars and then give ultra greed x0.5 mult

[wraith jolt]

You right because reached out to them, they really could careless

[hidden aspen]

you could have a global counter that checks how many times you've stolen, or you could send a context to jokers that money have been stolen from the shop

[pastel kernel]

Whar

how do you set up a global again

[hidden aspen]

if you would go with context approach you could do something like { shop_steal = true } and check on that condition in your joker's calculate

[frosty dock]

Note: it's good practice to add your mod prefix to custom contexts your mod adds

[wraith jolt]

But actually modding questions, it possible to have a consumable permanently grants Jokers additional mult and chips, in similar way Hikers adds to cards.

But instead affect Jokers

[hidden aspen]

global would be just any parameter inside G.GAME, so if you added G.GAME.shop_steals = 0 at the beginning of the run, you could modify that / check that inside of your joker

[pastel kernel]

 BB = {}
 BB.money_counter = { }```

[frosty dock]

you'd be able to just mess with ability.mult and ability.chips, but it won't show in the UI. the cleaner way is probably to do it with a sticker (i.e., add the sticker if it isn't already added, else change a values associated with the sticker)

[pastel kernel]

i think i'm supposed to make BB.money_counter an int value and not a table

[frosty dock]

the issue with this is that it doesn't survive reloading the run. anything that needs to persist through a run you need to put in G.GAME (or in case of a card, in a card area)

[wraith jolt]

So essentially creative positive stickers. Instead their usually detrimental status?

Because looking to use consumable cards to power up them up, my other options was going through similar method that Seal on Everything did with granting seals to Jokers, but not being able to understand it

[pastel kernel]

one second, let me just show you the card description

running the game first

[frosty dock]

yeah there's no need to have it be seals. stickers at core are just modifiers that can go on any type of card

of course you'd have them be unable to spawn on shop cards

[pastel kernel]

it's not finished since i'm still trying to figure out how to get the button to activate this joker's scaling mechanism

[frosty dock]

Xnil

[pastel kernel]

i know

again, still figuring out a way to get ultra greed to scale via the button

[wraith jolt]

Maybe what can do, is have this rare consumables place stickers that like said beneficial to only Jokers. Ok thanks for the idea!!

[shell timber]

look at what the sell button does

[pastel kernel]

main balatro or smods?

[shell timber]

main balatro

[pastel kernel]

ok so i found thislocal card = e.config.ref_table

ok idk what to understand from this

[sleek valley]

how could i check if a specific consumeable is unlocked/discovered?
trying to make a sort of artificial upgrade system where if you unlock the upgraded version of the consumeable, the original doesnt appear again

[mystic river]

G.P_CENTERS[key].discovered or G.P_CENTERS[key].unlocked

[sleek valley]

ty

well good to know this game was never made with the idea that consumeables could be locked lol

[fading rivet]

bump

[hidden aspen]

does anyone know why this function never seems to be called?

i did a simple override but it doesnt print at all

and i get this error evaluating it with and without override

scale being nil is also kinda weird

actually G.GAME.modifiers seem to be empty ???

[frosty dock]

mind the part where it says "higher stages of ante scaling"

the base function is get_blind_amount, this function is for what vanilla doesn't already handle

the docs should probably clarify that

[hidden aspen]

what are the higher stages of ante scaling?

[frosty dock]

any stage beyond what vanilla has

[dapper sun]

[sleek valley]

event = 'released' i think

[open moth]

Can you change sell conditions? I have a joker that gives extra joker slots, but want to prevent the joker tray overflowing

[sleek valley]

wait no nvm, im dumb

[hoary spear]

what would be the easiest way to make a deck retrigger all current jokers? ie say, "you have 3 joker slots, but all jokers retrigger once"

[open moth]

Deck effects look similar to joker effects in terms of code

[open moth]

More precisely, eternal but without a visual sticker
And conditionned
And stackable with normal eternal

[hoary spear]

my current attempt is uh, very finnicky...

-- 3 joker slots, all jokers retrigger once each hand

return function(REW1RED)
    SMODS.Back({
        key = "resonance",
        loc_txt = {
            name = "Resonance",
            text = {
                "{C:attention}3{} Joker slots",
                "All Jokers {C:green}retrigger once{}"
            }
        },
        pos = { x = 5, y = 0 },
        atlas = "decks",
        config = {},
        apply = function(self)
            -- G.jokers does not exist yet when apply runs; limit is applied in hooks after start_run
            G.GAME.modifiers.rew_joker_slot_limit = 3
            G.GAME.modifiers.rew_all_jokers_retrigger_once = true
        end
    })
end

i have no idea wht i was on for this stuff at all

there has to be a more consistent way to make this

[idle plaza]

You can modify G.GAME.starting_params.joker_slots to change the joker limit within the apply.

As for the Retriggers, you should be able to give your deck a calculate function with the retrigger_joker_check context.

[final jewel]

yeah I ask this some days ago but how do I make this work the problem is that I am changing a seal in the context.before and I need it to work in the context.main_scoring. like now its working with the code but the animation is wacky like first the seal is disappearing and I dont want that. So Somethingcom said that I need to hook the drawstep but yeah it doent work.

[lyric wadi]

can you dynamically enable and disable the soul layer for joker?

or is that a static setting

[final jewel]

idk

wait I'll record the problem

it just remove it before applying the new one

[sleek valley]

i guess rearrange the order of operations?
make the cards flip over first and then apply the change while it's flipped

[final jewel]

yeah idk I guess Im gonna do that

Yeah So I Know its not a good practice but by doing that it is working so yeah

is their a way to know if the card is already flip

[red flower]

card.facing == 'back' ?

[final jewel]

okok nice

yeah I scrap the idea seals are weird af

it just won't work I think

[dapper sun]

resisting the urge to just make my own keybind system, ,,

[past spade]

how would I change the sprite of a deck (smods.back) mid run?

[sleek valley]

update for anyone who was curious: really not made for it

[dapper sun]

how do i add screenshake?

[fading rivet]

you could change the sprite to an empty one

[frosty dock]

you can put a draw function on soul_pos, that should do

make a second released keybind and set some flag in the held one to check for in the released one, which is then reset. if you think you have a better way to do that, do feel free to send a PR

[dapper sun]

[fading rivet]

If I want to insert my own function into game instances, would I have to do it via patching, since G seems to be created when reading my mod files

or is there another way to do it

[sleek valley]

    return ret
end

its calling the regular skip blind function

nvm found it

one of my patches was overriding the callback

[sleek valley]

any chance i could steal your code at some point in the future?
i have an idea that i could repurpose it into a mini shop :3

yippee :D

[dapper sun]

...wait i can just

https://love2d.org/wiki/love.keyboard.isDown

what i'm doing is already far outside the realm of balatro anyways

[inner terrace]

I think I'm going insane
I'm dealing with an "attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'extra'" error but every call to card.ability.extra has some subvalue, either .extra.bankrupt_at or .extra.spritenum
alright it's happening even when there's absolutely no calls to card.ability

[tranquil cypress]

OOOOO

[broken rivet]

also do you have to play every fucking part simultaneously

[dapper sun]

wdym simultaneously

[broken rivet]

like i saw inputs for all three of them going off
i'm assuming you're still only controlling kris

[dapper sun]

?

that was me testing keybind stuff

[broken rivet]

uhhhh

oh

[dapper sun]

pressing, holding, and releasing

[broken rivet]

OH

[dapper sun]

look at this beauty,,

[fading rivet]

mind if I uhhh yoink that

yea

here's the full file

is there a way to get if any key is pressed

[dapper sun]

you'll have to hook love.keypressed

[primal robin]

Me when I have fully custom controller for most kind of keybinds

[fading rivet]

sick

assuming theres one for keyreleased too?

[dapper sun]

i assume so

[fading rivet]

i'm also maing a bunch of minigames lol

[primal robin]

game already have tracker of pressed, held and released keys in each frame

[dapper sun]

nice

i saw a bit of that earlier ,,

oh where?

[dapper sun]

yea where

[primal robin]

G.CONTROLLER.held_key_times

[fading rivet]

thx

[dapper sun]

ty

i may stick with this method tho since it seems easier

[fading rivet]

man why does balatro have to be a well coded game
I have to actually spend time making good systems that work and are readable

[hidden aspen]

w glorps

[idle plaza]

That's the funny part, it's not. A lot of Vanilla code is an incredibly, overwhelmingly long if-elseif chain, and it has plenty more strange choices. In large part, it's SMODS that introduced good coding practices.

[dapper sun]

thanks tricky tony very cool

managed to turn it into a lua table tho

[fading rivet]

tbf thats fine

[dapper sun]

this makes me feel better about how i handled tenna's animations in the vid i sent

[fading rivet]

easy to plug into a program and parse

[dapper sun]

gamemaker has native json support

and yet the only time deltarune uses it is for the japanese localization

this 100% could've been a json file

also all songs are stored in the same functions

how do i get the position in the bg music?

[pastel kernel]

how to destroy diamonds after scoring?

[dapper sun]

context.after

iterate through the cardarea you wanna destroy cards from and if they're diamonds destroy them

[near coral]

How do I make a joker scale with how many cards aren't in the deck

\

[pastel kernel]

Played Diamonds give ^1.15 Mult, but have a 1 in 4 chance of being destroyed after scoring

[fading rivet]

blue joker and erosion should have what u need

[primal robin]

^1.15? Isnt it just absolutely busted?

[fading rivet]

I dunno the exact code, but erosion knows the full deck size, and blue knows the current deck size

subtract then and you get that

[tidal hemlock]

full deck minus deck

[pastel kernel]

taps the sign

[dreamy thunder]

G.GAME.starting_deck_size erosion uses

#G.deck.cards should be total cards in deck

and #G.playing_cards total playing cards

[pastel kernel]

???```lua
if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and
context.other_card:is_suit(card.ability.extra.suit) then
SMODS.calculate_effect ({

card = card
})
if SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, self.key, 1, card.ability.extra.destroyodds) then

[idle plaza]

context.destroy_card is separate from context.individual. That part of your calculate should just be separate from your context.individual. context.destroy_card goes afterwards anyways.

[pastel kernel]

if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.play and

This is how it should look instead.

[pastel kernel]

g i forgor to put remove = true to the return table ong

[granite jay]

And yet it somehow works

Really well

[idle plaza]

Power of sheer dedication I guess

[near coral]

Can you help me put it together

[fading rivet]

local scale_val = #G.playing.cards - #G.deck.cards

[near coral]

Is that supposed to detect the deck size or scale for each card not in the deck

[fading rivet]

that tells you the number of cards not in the dexk

[near coral]

Ok

[pastel kernel]

how do you make a card that destroys a joker but also bypasses eternal

[daring fern]

SMODS.destroy_cards(card, true)

[near coral]

Is the "improve your run!" text in the shop a sprite or editable text

I wanna make it say impair instead of improve on bzr stakes

[daring fern]

It's text, you would have to hook localize to make it work on specific conditions.

[near coral]

Alright

[thorn ingot]

Do you know if this table still works. I tried to use it, but it crashes.

[rapid stag]

keyed? i thought that was an indexed table

[wanton jolt]

highlight limit in card area is not respected

what did i do wrong

also i can't seem to click the combine button as it does nothing

[thorn ingot]

uum, maybe? I understand what the table does, but don't quite get how to arrange it.
Need to get into lua 😭

[rapid stag]

try this instead, maybe?

local ranks = {}
for i, v in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
    ranks[v.base.value] = (ranks[v.base.value] or 0) + v.base.times_played
end
local mostplayed
local played = 0
for k, v in pairs(ranks) do
    if v >= played then
        mostplayed = k
        played = v
    end
end

[daring fern]

No, I edited my code to work.

[thorn ingot]

uuu, thanks to the both of you. Will try it.

[wanton jolt]

how do i change the soul_pos

[rapid stag]

during runtime?

[wanton jolt]

yeah

[rapid stag]

i have a function in a custom joker that goes

change_soul_pos = function(card, newSoulPos)
  card.config.center.soul_pos = newSoulPos
  card:set_sprites(card.config.center)
end

and this still works for me

newSoulPos expects a table of { x = [number], y = [number] }

honestly, i should probably PR this as a base API addition for jokers, lot of people seem to want to change their joker's soul sprites during runtime

[wanton jolt]

oh ok i just refresh the sprites then

[rapid stag]

yes

[wanton jolt]

the sprite changes dont persist on reload

[rapid stag]

oh, right. i ran into that problem myself before and IIRC what i was told to do was to hook set_sprites and have it set the sprites to what i want them to be according to my conditions

but i was running into crashes when i tried and i wasn't getting any help with those crashes, so i instead just wrote another function on the joker that i standardise across all jokers that i need to do that with, which sees what sprite it needs to be based on the conditions i set, then sets it - and in my start_run hook, i add an event that iterates through all jokers in G.jokers, looks for that function and calls it.

it's a hacky solution, but it works. if you figure out the way to actually properly do this, please let me know

[wanton jolt]

is there a function i can call when the card has loaded with all its ability

[frosty rampart]

what's the goal

[wanton jolt]

just apply the new sprite_pos and soul_pos on run reload

[frosty rampart]

use an event in the set_sprites function
the event will delay it enough that the card ability is set up by the time the code runs

[wanton jolt]

ok now how do i move the soul pos above the card

[rapid stag]

what?

[wanton jolt]

i want to move the soul pos in the y axis

[rapid stag]

the actual sprite itself? you might want to look into drawstep stuff for that

[wanton jolt]

fuck

i rlly didnt want to do that

[frosty rampart]

yea you'll need a custom drawstep to change the physical position of where the sprite is drawn

you can probably copy/paste the soul sprite drawstep from smods and edit from there

[limber aspen]

How do I draw sprite from love.graphics.newImage (or from balatro Sprite class)?

[umbral zodiac]

what are you trying to do?

[limber aspen]

I'm trying to create an object that will be moving on screen and calling a function when hovered over

[lyric wadi]

how do i force spawn a joker with eternal

SMODS.add_card({set = 'Joker', key = 'j_egg', force_stickers = {"eternal"}, no_edition = true}) didnt wrok im stupid

[daring fern]

stickers = {'eternal'}, force_stickers = true

[subtle hawk]

Is egg a placeholder or do you need to spawn an eternal egg

Because in case with the egg you don't need to force it

Egg is already eternal compatible

[lyric wadi]

what do you think is worse

eternal egg or eternal credit card

[frosty dock]

Definitely credit card

it's a flat $20 that you don't gain interest on, whereas you get temperance value out of an eternal egg

[subtle hawk]

Eternal credit card won't help my swashbuckler

[daring fern]

Yes, but SMODS.add_card uses SMODS.create_card which uses Card:add_sticker which checks sticker.should_apply, and that doesn't exist for vanilla stickers.

[subtle hawk]

Oh

[sleek valley]

how can i check if a highlighted card in hand is a face card?
trying to make a blind that only lets you play face cards of the same suit

[daring fern]

if card:is_face(true)

[sleek valley]

cant put card in a blind .w.

[daring fern]

Yes, card would be the card that you want to check.

[sleek valley]

i get that, but i cannot put card in the calculate of a blind
i tested the code and it instantly crashes when i select a card

unless there's something i dont know about

[subtle hawk]

Show the full code that crashes?

[daring fern]

Yes, card is a placeholder for the card that you want to check for being a face card.

[subtle hawk]

What exactly are you trying to do? I'm pretty sure context.debuff_hand isn't even used to debuff cards

And well. There is no card

[sleek valley]

im trying to make a blind that only lets you play face cards of the same suit

[sleek valley]

yes, and as far as i know based on the wiki, i cant just put that into the function

[sleek valley]

figured it out, the mark uses context.other_card:is_face(true)

[daring fern]

local faces = {}
for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
    if v:is_face(true) then
        table.insert(faces, v)
    end
end
local passed = false
for k, v in pairs(faces) do
    if not v:is_suit(faces[1].base.suit, true) then
        passed = true
    end
end
if passed then
    blind.triggered = true
    return {debuff = true}
end

[subtle hawk]

You can do anything to any cards wherever (<almost wherever) as long as they exist and holy shit somethingcom is fast

[sleek valley]

oh, that's what you meant, sorry .w.

[subtle hawk]

Wait like. You can only play faces or you can play anything but faces need to be of the same suit? This is a confusing effect lol

[sleek valley]

you can play anything but faces need to be the same suit

playing only faces would be diabolical tho lol

[subtle hawk]

Oh my god somethingcom even edited the code after that specification 😭

[sleek valley]

bro's a legend 😭 🙏

[thorn ingot]

Hey again guys. Would you know why this code sometimes works and others it doesn't?

I don't get it. I'm trying to make 2 copies of the most played rank.

[subtle hawk]

That's hard to read

[thorn ingot]

That's how... prototypes look like.

[fading rivet]

welp good news I don't have to deal with balatro UI jank
bad news I have 0 helper tools from balatro

i'm hoping love.graphics works similar to p5, since I have a lot of experience with it

[fading rivet]

how does it not work

[subtle hawk]

Actually looking at the code now, the way you check for most played rank is a dubious idea, since it only accounts for cards in your deck. I would recommend to count that somewhere outside of the tag

[thorn ingot]

oh, so sometimes it seems to register the most played rank and sometimes it just gives me random cards.

[fading rivet]

what cards did it work for

[thorn ingot]

Any card I played the most. I test it by playing a 5 of a kind in the first blind.

I would get some video, but I think discord has a cap of like 10 mb.

[fading rivet]

no like did it work for 2s but not for 5s

[thorn ingot]

I tested it with a lot of cards and worked on most of them.
I don't think I could say for certain it doesn't work for a specific rank.

[fading rivet]

hmmmm

does it work for face cards for sure?

[thorn ingot]

yeah

[fading rivet]

;-;

idk then

[thorn ingot]

damn

life

[subtle hawk]

get_id() gets ranks of face cards as numbers i'm 90% sure

[fading rivet]

its probably something with what evgast said

[fading rivet]

it does yeah

i just know I had a problem with one of my cards that wouldn't generate face cards cuase I was getting them wrong

wait clover

when it genreates the wrong card is it a 10 of spades or something else

or just a 10 of any suit

[thorn ingot]

I think so too. I've seen examples of this being done as a global. But I had already tried that and it didn't quite work either. But this kind of worked, though.

I'll keep on trying

[daring fern]

Yes, but since this server is at boost Level 3, you can upload up to 100MB

[subtle hawk]

SMODS.current_mod.reset_game_globals = function(run_start)
    if run_start then 
        G.GAME.rank_played = {} 
    end
end
SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.before then 
        for k, v in pairs(context.full_hand) do
            G.GAME.rank_played[v:get_id()] = (G.GAME.rank_played[v:get_id()] or 0) + 1
        end
    end
end```
I think that should work? Question mark

[thorn ingot]

oh, no. it generates random cards. I think it's doing the base generation.

[subtle hawk]

Oh oops

[thorn ingot]

Hold on, I might get some video. brb.

[fading rivet]

can you try this
play a 3 of a kind of one card, then 5oak of another

[thorn ingot]

aight

[fading rivet]

and go until it gives the wrong card

my suspicion is that it not finding the 5oak card

so it should return the 3oak card

[thorn ingot]

okay, brb

[fading rivet]

if that doesn't work add 3 million print statements

frick

why is it skipping one ;-;

[subtle hawk]

I got curious enough to actually try that. Yeah it does work

[thorn ingot]

okay, got the goods

[fading rivet]

woah what debug menu is that

[thorn ingot]

It makes the 2 copies of the 10th rank but not of the king

[thorn ingot]

debug++

https://github.com/Joglacraft/DebugPlusPlus

[subtle hawk]

I would recommend going with globals whether you figure out what's wrong ot not, simply because that's more accurate 🤷‍♂️

[fading rivet]

yeah i have 0 clue why its making eights now

go my 500 print statements

[daring fern]

The problem is because the rank you are inputting into SMODS.add_card is the id, not the key

[subtle hawk]

Oh😭 😭

[thorn ingot]

hold on, what. Isn't that the same.

[fading rivet]

why is it generating an 8 instead of a 10 then?

[subtle hawk]

String with a number vs. a number

I think

[thorn ingot]

Yeah, I think that will be my next step. thanks.

[daring fern]

No, the problem is every rank that is not a number between 2-10 uses it's name instead of it's id as it's key.

[subtle hawk]

But the shit happens with numbers too?

Not only (f)aces

[daring fern]

local mostplayedkey
for k, v in pairs(SMODS.Ranks) do
    if v.id == mostplayed then
        mostplayedkey = v.key
    end
end

[daring fern]

No, it made an 10 and a 8 instead of a King

[thorn ingot]

oooh, that's pretty cool. Will try it, thanks.

[fading rivet]

I swear you gained an 8 of clubs

[thorn ingot]

yeah it made an 8.

Also, for the record. I've been able to make face cards with the code in the video.

Hold on!!!!

It seems to be working quite well now. Will keep on testing it.

Thanks everyone who spent time with the problem.

[sleek valley]

been trying to bug fix on my on for a bit but uhh-

[subtle hawk]

I assume that's because face table is empty, just check if #faces > 0 before looping through it or smth

[daring fern]

Swap the passed = true and passed = false

[sleek valley]

perfect, tyy :3

[subtle hawk]

Is there a function that runs when all mods are loaded or smth like that

[daring fern]

Game:main_menu

[subtle hawk]

Figures

Thanks

[fading rivet]

yippee

[primal robin]

the inventing osu mania in balala, crazy

parsing osu maps when

[fading rivet]

actually I was gonna do osu next lmao

[sleek valley]

please, im already ashamed enough that i cant play osu for shit, spare meee ;w;

[dapper sun]

funny how 2 people here are doing rhythm game stuff in balatro

(my mod's gonna have both lightners live and fnf)

[subtle hawk]

There's no API to add badges to cards in a pool right?

Making sure that I didn't just make the stupidest hook ever

[dapper sun]

just do it manually idk

[subtle hawk]

Yeah

[fading rivet]

@willow plinth

[fading rivet]

is the dt in all the update functions in ms, seconds, or something else

[drifting garden]

is this where I can ask for help regarding making my first mod?

[primal robin]

in seconds, sometimes in seconds * G.SPEEDFACTOR

use G.real_dt instead

[fading rivet]

thx

[lyric wadi]

how do you dynamically change the buy and sell cost of a card

but like not in an Egg way where it's only an additive bonus to the sell cost

[frosty dock]

only if you want to ignore gamespeed*

[sleek valley]

I mean, i wouldnt want the speed of a song in a rhythm game being based on gamespeed lol

[frosty dock]

yeah for sure, you'd want real_dt for that

[fading rivet]

yeah thats what im using

[tranquil echo]

hallo!!
im crashing upon shop enter and im not sure why. i think its an issue with my custom rarity but im a little lost on why

    key = "effect",
    default_weight = 0,
    badge_colour = G.C.RED,
    get_weight = function(self, weight, object_type)
        return weight
    end,
}```

[pastel kernel]

how do you check if you're selling a food joker

[fading rivet]

have you set up a custom pool or no

[pastel kernel]

nope

[fading rivet]

if not then you gotta hardcode the vanilla ones

[pastel kernel]

i thought cryptid has me covered

i'm using spectrallib

[fading rivet]

oh its a cryptic ad on?

[pastel kernel]

no

it;s using spectrallib

cryptlib but better

[fading rivet]

oh okay

[fading rivet]

joker.config.center.pools.Food

typically its along those lines

[pastel kernel]

ok so apparently context.card:is_food() works

[mystic river]

i imagine spectrallib added that yes

[dapper sun]

where do i find the sources for mod audio? SOURCES only contains vanilla audio

oh nvmd

SMODS_Sounds

nvmd x2

it just returns nil

[dapper sun]

nvmd x3 sometimes it does???

wait that's SMODS.Sounds

not SMODS_Sounds

i'm still stumped

[rapid stag]

SMODS.Sound

singular

[frosty dock]

Depends on the thread. SMODS_Sounds does exist only in the sound thread

[dapper sun]

????

i'm after the streams not the sounds

[frosty dock]

<@&1133519078540185692>

quick work as always, 10q

[sleek valley]

been seeing a concerning influx of bot activity as of late tbh

not even just here, but on a couple other servers im in too

[lyric wadi]

question again

can you change what rarity badge a joker would display without actually affecting its true rarity value

[median veldt]

i mean you can do anything technically

i think you'd have to hook something but yeah

[lyric wadi]

what about at runtime

like changing the badge on the fly

[median veldt]

you could add code to your hook for that

like

likeeeeee maybe hook into whatever displays that specific badge and add a check for if its that joker, adn then check against a certain value on that joker instead of its actual rarity

i'm not explaining this well bu tyeah

i have my own question actually- why isn't debugplus showing logs, i have to tab into the terminal that appears

its only showing its own logs and none others

[lyric wadi]

uhh check settings maybe

like the settings has a thing that determines what level gets logged

[median veldt]

yeah it's set to info and my logs are info

theres this

but ingame theres nothing

futhermore

[sleek valley]

oh good, so it's not just been me having problems with it!!

[median veldt]

i actually haven't updated debugplus in ages

let me try that before i complain

yeah ok same problem

[wanton jolt]

remove all the badges and generate a fake one

[lyric wadi]

oh jeez uhhh

how???

like is there a config to prevent a joker form showing badge and then generate a fake one

or do i have to hook into the function that generate badges

[mystic river]

"only show commands"

[median veldt]

oh LMFAO

[hardy vessel]

How would I check if a consumable is hidden (like the soul or black hole) so it can be avoided from checks?

[sleek valley]

question
if that's been toggled off for the last month and it still doesnt show print lines, what then?

[mystic river]

show logs is checked and the log level is high enough, right?
idk what log level print is

[wanton jolt]

is there a hook for when you load a save

because for some reason the Cat pool doesnt want to exist on gameload when Yahimod is installed even when i populate it in my own pools.lua and its not applying my sigils on those cards

(and right now to remedy my issue i just do a pool merge on new game load)

[left sonnet]

Hey folks, does anyone know the code section responsible for the area with and under the shop/blind signs? I've been looking around and the closest I've found is the UI for score, hands, discards, so on

[frosty rampart]

the hidden value in the consumable's center will be true

[hardy vessel]

yeah, i figured it out. had the wrong order for some variables and it was messing me up

[dapper sun]

i love communication between threads

and from there i just had to :tell()

[rapid stag]

does anyone have a solve for negative cards not showing in the deck view?

[gilded blaze]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1483563299781214260 try my API mod when

[frosty dock]

peak

if anything implements this I might try it in a certain way

[wanton jolt]

how do i show "no space" on the card area when it can't buy the totem

[daring fern]

Hook G.FUNCS.check_for_buy_space and use alert_no_space

[wanton jolt]

thank you

[median veldt]

heyyy so i'm trying to add something that might be too ambitious and I really don't know what I'm doing
are there either like specific tutorials or examples i can pull from to make this
i've got like a husk of what i need but it doesn't actually do anything
-# ideally someone could do it for me with credit (at least enough for me to implement the rest, like the base types and necessary ui and stuff) but I get if you would rather just tell me how i could go about it

basically I have a set of consumables that when used, set a variable in G.GAME (you are choosing a class)

and when you have a class, a button will appear that will allow you to use an ability once per round (based on what class you're using) (except for one that costs money instead of once per round)

it will also ideally display in text what class you have, or maybe it can just do that on the button (with popup explaining it)

i can zip up and send my current codebase if necessary

[slim ferry]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/UI-Guide this is like pretty much all there is in terms of custom ui documentation

[median veldt]

yeah i looked at that it went very much over my head

[slim ferry]

well like the only other option then is to just look at other mods i think

[median veldt]

thats what im trying to do but the only one that i have in mind (my mod is an extension of it) 's codebase is so fucking ass

[slim ferry]

ui node types are also like the one thing thunk actually comments in the code saying what they are

what mod might that be...

[median veldt]

balatrostuck

i think i've made myself clear

[slim ferry]

ah

amazing stuff

anyway theres two links at the bottom of the ui guide that lead to some custom ui code

[median veldt]

also i lost the screenshot but

local peepee
local poopoo

just wonderful stuff

[slim ferry]

better than cryptid variable names

[median veldt]

Honestly I MIIIGHT be able to figure out the UI myself
it's like everything else as well

[slim ferry]

at least

just beware that ui is very janky

[median veldt]

all i have is the consumables and the variable setting

and like a husk of the Object for the class

yeah, bleh
i could probably figure it out but it's extremely overwhelming

[median veldt]

could anyone else help in theory?

[fading rivet]

what do you need help with

I got UI fresh on my mind rn lol

[left sonnet]

Hey, are you familiar with offsetting in UI? I'm trying to fine tune the y coord of my node but it doesn't seem to be affecting anything

config = {align = "cl", maxw = 3, padding = 0.1, r = 0.08, minw = 2, hinh = 0, hover = true, shadow = true, colour = G.C.CLEAR, juice = true, offset = {x = 0, y = 3},

[fading rivet]

try making it bigger

like really big

see what happens

[left sonnet]

Bet, 1 sec

[left sonnet]

Nothing it seems

[fading rivet]

hmmm

idk then I never messed with offset

you could put an empty box before it for a margin

[median veldt]

Well, on the UI side of things, I really just need to create text that says what class you have and I need the button to use the ability

Do you maybe want to take a look at my shell of a codebase

[fading rivet]

sure

[left sonnet]

That's what I've been doing, in that case I'm out of ideas

Odd

It's not covered in the UI guide either

[fading rivet]

hmm

yeah idk

[left sonnet]

I guess I'll try to set the offsets to be global variables so I can mess about in-game

[fading rivet]

i've been dealing with this crap so I haven't touched offsets

[left sonnet]

What in Jimbo's name am I looking at

[fading rivet]

"insert epic pjsk gameplay"

[left sonnet]

Is this like Guitar Hero

[fading rivet]

yeah

[left sonnet]

I see

[median veldt]

WHY are you making project sekai in balatro

[fading rivet]

:3

[median veldt]

Its rlly well done but damn

[fading rivet]

no its not but thank you 😭

this thing is held together with hopes and dreams

[median veldt]

lmao

It Looks Good

[fading rivet]

sliders won't even render properly and they eat your fps

[median veldt]

sorry there's like. part of an attempt to get something but I really don't know what I'm doing

UI is nowhere near my strong suit

[fading rivet]

go go gadget zip bomb

[median veldt]

I've never done it

[rapid stag]

is context.consumeable card or center? like do i get the key by going context.consumeable.config.center.key or by context.consumeable.key?

[median veldt]

i swear its not 💔

[fading rivet]

I believe you need config.center.key

[median veldt]

I mean

No harm in trying one and then the other if it doesn't work

[fading rivet]

okay I can't run your mod rn, but does the button show up in the UI

if not thats the first thign you should do

before making it a button

@median veldt

[median veldt]

No, I really fully seriously have NO idea how to do any of that 😭

[fading rivet]

hooks and patches

[median veldt]

If you can't run it because of the dependency, you can remove the dependency, as it currently doesn't use anything from it

[median veldt]

i mean. Yeah

[fading rivet]

no I just have a editor running and I forgot to make an option to export my work

<@&1133519078540185692>

[median veldt]

how much you wanna bet this is a bot

1400 members is wild though

[fading rivet]

yk at least it wasn't a blatant porn server

[median veldt]

yeah true

[fading rivet]

thx

[fading rivet]

lemme send some of my stuff for an example

[median veldt]

only issue with ui stuff is it's really confusing to me

[median veldt]

all i have right now is just the play hand button copied and pasted with like one thing changed

[fading rivet]

very good start

[median veldt]

Would it help if I showed you like exactly where I want the button and what I want it to look like

[fading rivet]

thats how I got this working at the start

[fading rivet]

yeah

[median veldt]

kk

[fading rivet]

this uhh does something i forgor what

oh this actually inserts the ui

[median veldt]

either one of the two spots really

[fading rivet]

oh over there

okay thats much easier

I thought u wanted it on the left

which meant you would've had to update and redraw the ui

[median veldt]

nah it works better since it semi-ties to that thing that's next to it

[fading rivet]

        G.GAME.FOOBAR_MINIGAME = true
        G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
    end
end

[median veldt]

hold on

ok im so sorry you might need to walk me through this a little bit

[fading rivet]

sorry i'm just posting code so I can talk about it without confusing you with stuff I did'nt post

[median veldt]

mm ok

[fading rivet]

what you need specificly is this

table.insert(G.I.NODE, G.foobar_minigame) -- manually insert cuase it doesn't show up for some reason

this'll make the game draw your ui

[median veldt]

ok what would happen if i basically copied and pasted your code into my thing

would it work or do i sitll need some patches

[fading rivet]

uhh it would crash

well

[median veldt]

mmmminus some things that are obvious

[fading rivet]

acutally It would do nothing cuase I had to patch a custom game state in

but you shouldn't need to do that

[median veldt]

yeah i only need it to show up during play

though i guess i'd actually want it to show up during always

[fading rivet]

do you want the UI to always appear, or only if you have selected a class

[median veldt]

the latter

but then always after that

[fading rivet]

okay thats more annoying but still possible

so in whatever function that selects the class

your going to need this

[median veldt]

it puts a string into G.GAME.BALATROSTUCK2_current_class for the reccord

[fading rivet]

function G.UIDEF.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui()
  return {ui table}
end

-- code that selects class
if G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui then
  for i,value in ipairs(G.I.NODE) do
    if value == G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui then
      table.remove(G.I.NODE, i)
      break
    end
  end
  G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui:remove()
end
G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui = {
  definition = G.UIDEF.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui(),
  config = {align="up to u", offset={also up to you},bond="Weak"}
}
table.insert(G.I.NODE, G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui)

then to make sure you get rid of it when they leave the run add

local create_run_ref = G.start_run
function G:start_run (args)
  local ret = create_run_ref(self, args)
  if G.GAME.BALATROSTUCK2_current_class then
    G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui = {
      definition = G.UIDEF.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui(),
      config = {align="up to u", offset={also up to you},bond="Weak"}
    }
    table.insert(G.I.NODE, G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui)
  end
  return ret
end

local go_to_menu_ref = G.FUNCS.go_to_menu
function G.FUNCS.go_to_menu (e)
  for i=#G.I.NODE,1,-1 do
    if G.I.NODE[i] == G.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui then
      G.I.NODE[i]:remove()
      table.remove(G.I.NODE, i)
    end
  end
  return go_to_menu_ref(e)
end

@median veldt

[median veldt]

mmokay hold on

alright, i'm not quite sure what to put for the things you left up to me

[fading rivet]

for offset I kept mine at {x=0,y=0}

and my align is 'tmi'

[median veldt]

what about the align and more importantly the ui table at all

isnt there docs for the align

[fading rivet]

and that generated the "insert epic pjsk gamplay" box

[fading rivet]

the UI table would contain your buttons

[fading rivet]

yes

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

[median veldt]

mhm yeah

I just. Do Not understand it nor how to put it together

[fading rivet]

have you worked with html before?

its kinda like that

[median veldt]

yeah

[fading rivet]

its basicly a table element

with nested table elements

[median veldt]

i see i see

i wish there was like

[fading rivet]

lemme find a ss of one of my decks i'll draw some boxes

[median veldt]

a visual editor for ui and it gives you the ui table and the align stuff

that'd be nice

[fading rivet]

ngl i've been considering making tools like this

but i'm busy with my current mod rn lol

[median veldt]

once you get the chance that would be so helpful

okay heres the code for the ss that I'm going to find

[median veldt]

aight

Oh could I in theory take a ui table from like

the play button or something that looks similar

and modify it

[fading rivet]

okay here we go

[median veldt]

i seeeee

[fading rivet]

heres what that generates

now lemme draw in the tables

@median veldt here's what the boxes look like

[median veldt]

i see

[fading rivet]

idk why the wheel is blue

[median veldt]

I'm Blue...

Okay okay hm

[sturdy compass]

Guys I don't think Sushi is either green or blue

[median veldt]

I forgot about my status lmao

threw some stuff together now hold on

[frosty rampart]

do you gain 1 Mult when a hand is played and lose 1 Mult when a discard is used

[median veldt]

ok

[median veldt]

Yes!! 💚

[frosty rampart]

green 💚

[median veldt]

where did I even go wrong

i just copied and pasted the play hand button and changed like one thing

[fading rivet]

whats the func, ref_table, and button

[median veldt]

i did again just copy it idrk what those variables except func mean

[fading rivet]

func is the name of a function in G.FUNCS that gets called whener the item is drawn

id remove it

[median veldt]

mm

[median veldt]

anything else? cuz that didn't fix it

i hate errors that aren't direct lol

[fading rivet]

change button to temp_func and add

function G.FUNCS.temp_func(e)
  print("hi")
end

[fading rivet]

did u remove both funcs or just one

[median veldt]

both?

you mean that and this one?

i didnt see this one

[fading rivet]

yeah that one too

who needs controller support

[median veldt]

still nothing :p

same error

[fading rivet]

oooooh

you need a root node

[median veldt]

ohwoops

[fading rivet]

is it rendering now?

[median veldt]

nope :/ did I do it wrong

[fading rivet]

same error?

[median veldt]

yeah

[fading rivet]

well first off nodes isn't a array-like table

[median veldt]

it happens when I use the card for the record

[median veldt]

?

[fading rivet]

the roots nodes is the child node

instead of a table containing the child node

[median veldt]

mmmi'm a little confused

[fading rivet]

add those

after that i'm not sure whats wrong

its probably someting simple but I think i'm too tired to figure it out

[median veldt]

mmmmSame error yeah :/

[fading rivet]

maybe try align="tmi"

[median veldt]

nope

hm

[fading rivet]

yeah i got no clue

imma sleep on it and see if I can figure anything out

gn

[median veldt]

function G.UIDEF.BALATROSTUCK2_class_ui()
  return {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {r = 0.1, minw = 8, minh = 6, align = "tmi", padding = 0.2, colour = G.C.BLACK}, nodes = {{
    n=G.UIT.C,
    config = {
      id = 'bs2_class_button',
      align = "tmi",
      minw = 2.5,
      padding = 0.3,
      r = 0.1,
      hover = true,
      colour = G.C.BLUE,

      }},
    }}
  }}
end

heres like a codeblock instead of a screenshot just to be safe

[fading rivet]

oh i mean tmi in the ui box

not the node

[median veldt]

oh

[fading rivet]

keep the nodes the way they wer

[median veldt]

i have that set to tr

[fading rivet]

i saw, try tmi

still nothing?

[median veldt]

yep

[fading rivet]

asfoilkjnd fuisdnfauhsljdnfasipje;f ds

[median veldt]

same

[fading rivet]

okay gn

[median veldt]

yeah sleep on it

gn!

[fading rivet]

i'll let u know if I think of anything

my brains been fried from love graphics 😭

[median veldt]

i'll wait and see if anyone else here has any ideas

[thorn ingot]

Hey guys. It works perfect (needs testing for niche scenarios).

But I was wondering. How do I reset the text of the rank variable when the player finishes a run.
Or, how do I make the text of the rank in the collection be constant? So, it always says 'random'.

[naive coral]

i am trying to get a sound to play, but i cannot for the life of me get it working. the game doesnt crash or anything, it just doesnt work. any ideas/tips?

[daring fern]

It should be:

func = function()
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
        func = function()
            play_sound('modprefix_key')
            return true
        end
    }))
end

[naive coral]

in the return?

like in the braces {}

[frosty rampart]

no, you can return sounds in calculate functions. seems like it requires a custom message alongside it tho
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Sound

[naive coral]

ty

[daring fern]

Yes, but they're not using a custom message, that's why I didn't use that.

[median veldt]

since there are a couple others in chat now i'd like to bump this

[median veldt]

heres like The original request

[median veldt]

and the error i was getting

[naive coral]

sorry about not specifying, but i ideally wanted the sound to play as the jumpscare does, ie not where return was

it did work there tho

[naive coral]

what is thi issue?

this is the code, what am i doing wrong?

[thorn ingot]

Hey guys. Do you know why this tag gives 4 enhancements to the deck the first time and then 3 on subsequent? Don't get it.

[gilded blaze]

play_sound("Krypton_EvilScream", 1, 0.9)
1 is the pitch percent, 0.9 is the volume

[naive coral]

i figured it out alr, sorry shouldve deleted

it was a file organising issue, it was in a folder named sound not sounds

[gilded blaze]

if G.deck.cards[i].enhancement == nil then
wtf is this 😭

[thorn ingot]

lmao, I might have done some borrowing.

[gilded blaze]

that's not how you check if a playing card has an enhancement

[thorn ingot]

really? It works though

But don't doubt it

Do you know how it would be?

[gilded blaze]

it works because it selects the entire G.deck.cards

[thorn ingot]

aaah

makes sense

[gilded blaze]

use next(SMODS.get_enhancements(card)) to check instead

the reason it gives 3 enhancements is because the selection does not really exclude enhanced cards

causing a previously enhanced card to be selected again

[thorn ingot]

Yeah, I had seen that one before. Kind of been scraping by. I try to cut corners to get to design.
But, yeah that makes sense. Thanks.

[thorn ingot]

Hey, do you know where I could learn more about this? It crashes because of (card)

[gilded blaze]

[thorn ingot]

lmao

[gilded blaze]

your case would be G.deck.cards[i]

I put card as an example duh

[thorn ingot]

alright, will get back on it. 😭

Okay It works very well now. Thanks.

[sleek valley]

what's the key to replace the main menu card with an ace of hearts again?

[faint yacht]

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

[sleek valley]

yeah, that
but i dont know the exact wording for the set or key

[faint yacht]

...do you wish to have an another card with the original or outright remove it?

[sleek valley]

i want to remove the original and replace it with an ace of hearts instead

i already have the block of code correct, i just need to figure out the key

[fading rivet]

how do I make it play at normal speed?
it sounds sick but its not what

its also playing everywhere for some reason

select_music_track = function(self)
                    return G and G.GAME and G.FOOBAR_MINIGAMES and G.GAME.foobar_current_minigame and G.GAME.foobar_current_minigame.key == "fbminigame_foobar_projectsekai" and G.FOOBAR_MINIGAMES[G.GAME.foobar_current_minigame] and G.FOOBAR_MINIGAMES[G.GAME.foobar_current_minigame].current_song == ret.key and 10000000 or 0
                end

[faint yacht]

return {
  { set = 'Base', rank = 'Ace', suit = 'Hearts' },
  remove_original = true
}

[sleek valley]

ah, thank you

[faint yacht]

pitch = 1 in definition?

[fading rivet]

thx

[fading rivet]

any idea why this doesn't work though?

[faint yacht]

...why the or 0?

[fading rivet]

This function is called each frame to decide what music to play. Return values that are not nil, false or a number are converted to zero. The music track that returned the highest value is to be played.
now that I thinka bout it I could just not have that though

[faint yacht]

Just don't return anything if conditions don't pass.

[fading rivet]

yay it wotks

well it doesn't play in main menu at least

guh okay now it doesn't work in the song

go my 500 print statements

[thorn ingot]

Opandora's box has a lot of stuff with music. Maybe you can reference that.

In fact let me pull it out

it's at the bottom

Don't know if it helps though.

[fading rivet]

oh I'm stupid

I tried to get the key attribute of a string

now just to figure out how I can delay the start

[thorn ingot]

Pretty awesome.

[sleek valley]

could it possibly be as simple as just delay()?

[dreamy thunder]

add another state to sound and set it to true with a delayed event manager

[fading rivet]

i'm gonnna tie it into the current charts delay, since all of them have a set value before they start playing

[dreamy thunder]

makes sense

[fading rivet]

didn't realize the screenrecorder gave audio delay ;-;
that or i'm just washed

[silent sail]

how the hell do i do a 7x11 pixel art A

[gilded blaze]

don't use a triangle frame, use a pentagon one instead

[left sonnet]

Hi, do UI elements get updated automatically? For example, if I made a config for a mod, and I were to change a value in a UIBox, like the colour to red with a command, would it change immediately?

[sleek valley]

no, you'd have to restart the game with Alt + F5 before you can see the change

[left sonnet]

My bad, I meant with like DebugPlus for example

[silent sail]

is this better?

[sleek valley]

you'd still need to restart the game

[left sonnet]

Ah

[sleek valley]

i mean, you can use Ctrl + M in debugplus to reload atlases but that's it

[left sonnet]

Is there a way to add it to the update loop of the game?

[sleek valley]

much better
i'd recommend only leaving a one pixel gap between the feet though, but that's just me

[fading rivet]

yes it'll be updated

if you use commands to change a UI box it'll be reflected in game

[sleek valley]

huh, didnt know that

[fading rivet]

me neither lmao I had to test it

[left sonnet]

Oooooh I see what the issue is

[sleek valley]

that still doesnt change the code directly tho tbh, so it's better to just restart the game with trial and error imo

[fading rivet]

you could use it to make changes, and then save the changes you made in your code

[left sonnet]

At the very least for the config menu, it is updating, but you have to re-open the config menu for it to take place, so I guess I need to like copy it and delete it each time it detects a change

[fading rivet]

prevents reloading the game 5 million times

if only I could do the same for my ui testing ):

[left sonnet]

Have you tried the DebugPlus watch command? I've never gotten it to work

[sleek valley]

idk man, i never saw it as that much of a bother ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fading rivet]

nope

[left sonnet]

Less of a bother than wasted time really

[fading rivet]

^

[left sonnet]

I'd give it a shot, apparently it can watch a lua file and update it in-game any time you make a change to it

But I think it wants an ID and the times I've used it on a non-shader it's given errors about functions that are only called at the start of the game

[sleek valley]

fair but would it really save that much time in the long run trying to figure out how to patch it into the game's update loop? lol

[fading rivet]

yes

yes it would

[sleek valley]

fair enough .w.

[fading rivet]

the loading screen is quite long

[sleek valley]

that much i can agree with

i just dont have the skill to patch it myself and im too focused on the main point of my mods to bother anyway

[left sonnet]

Any of you guys worked with UIBoxes? The nodes in my UIBox seem to be missing/invisible

Sending snippet in a sec

[fading rivet]

is the UI box being rendered

    }```

[left sonnet]

Uuuuuuuh

Good question

[fading rivet]

nope its not

[left sonnet]

In the patch file there's

{n=G.UIT.O, config = {object=METER.meter_UIBox}}```

[fading rivet]

id recommend inserting it into one of the G.I tables

[fading rivet]

.

[fading rivet]

.

this is what I did for my balatro ui based minigame stuff

[left sonnet]

Is there somewhere I can read up on this or is it one of those things you learn? I don't believe the UI structure guide on the wiki mentions this, or recalculating for that matter

[left sonnet]

Will give that a read, thank you

[fading rivet]

I figured it out via trial and error and reading the source code

[left sonnet]

Yeah that unfortunately seems to be the method

[fading rivet]

I had the same problem with my UI not being rendered lol

Hi Friend

Its ui time 😁

If you want

[fading rivet]

whats the error again

I forgor

[left sonnet]

Hey, is there a specific place these go to? I've currently got them in their own file that's loaded in with SMODS

[fading rivet]

can you send full error traceback

[median veldt]

yeah you Will have to give me a bit

[fading rivet]

no

[left sonnet]

That's odd then, it still doesn't render 😭 I'm so buns

1 sec

[fading rivet]

cant confirm without the stack trace, but im pretty sure your storing nil in G.I.NODES

OMG

I was right it was a stupid issue

you didn't make a UI box lmao

its just a regular table

There it is

[fading rivet]

no need for that assert

the file should already be loaded

[left sonnet]

Oh bet

[median veldt]

oh Lmao how do I do that

[left sonnet]

NameOfYourUIBox = UIBox{
definition = {Function that has the layout of your script, imagine the config tab function for example
You could also just define your nodes here},
config = {align="cm", offset={x=0,y=0}}
}

Align and offset are optional values, they can be whatever

[median veldt]

so like right here?

add UIBox?

[left sonnet]

That's technically a UIBox already, do you have an Object node to put it into?

[median veldt]

What do you mea

[left sonnet]

You need an Object node to put a UIBox into

For example

[median veldt]

holy shiiitttt

[left sonnet]

{n=G.UIT.O, config ={object=YourObject, align="cm", etc}}

[median veldt]

i dont have that actually but it works

i just need to position it better and i'm Not quite sure how to do that

[fading rivet]

yeah right there after class_ui =

[median veldt]

so now the button is rendering, but I need to like. position it better

i dont Quite know how the positioning works and how to get it perfect

[fading rivet]

mess with the offset values

id look at the card areas to see what they use

[median veldt]

alr

[left sonnet]

Where do you have it right now?

Similar issue rn

[near coral]

This rekoj is supposed to scale for every card that isn't in the deck, however it isn't scaling at all even after a supposed fix

Oh wait nevermind they set it to a max of 52 specifically

[median veldt]

yeah i cannot find those

[fading rivet]

G.I.CARDAREA iirc

that or G.I.CARD

[median veldt]

ok hold on i uh think im in the wrong file

i was looking in UI_definitions but theres nothing with G.I.

[fading rivet]

id do a blanket search of lovely/dumps

[median veldt]

hm none of these really define it

interestingly

[left sonnet]

@median veldt While I have you can you check this please? Might help me

[median veldt]

i dont have object at all

im not the person to ask about ui

[left sonnet]

I know but you're the only one who I can talk to who's had the same issue 😭

I'm trying to do it without an object like you to see if it works

[mystic river]

a whole lot of things in G and G.GAME are defined by calling a method, so search for just .CARDAREA

[fading rivet]

you want the insert one

look at the method it's in

[median veldt]

alr

[left sonnet]

I seem to have done something right, but now I'm getting "bad argument #1 to 'draw' (Drawable expected, got no value)

[fading rivet]

your also not using a UIBox, just a table

wait nvm im stupid

ignore that

[left sonnet]

You're good lol

[fading rivet]

does it work the first time, but if you exit to menu and return it breaks?

[left sonnet]

Testing

[fading rivet]

oh also your storing than print statement in the table
it might be affecting something

[left sonnet]

It crashes when I try to start a new run, will try without the print

[fading rivet]

you need to recreate the UI after deleting it with :remove()

[left sonnet]

if G.METER then for i,value in ipairs(G.I.NODE) do if value == G.METER then table.remove(G.I.NODE, i) break end end G.METER:remove() end
Could you explain why we delete it before creating it if it exists? Is that how it's updated?

[fading rivet]

you get a leftover UI if you dont delete it

[left sonnet]

Oh right

[fading rivet]

and I mean when you leave the run and go to the menh

you delete the HI

UI

then when you go back into the run you need to recreate it

otherwise there's no UI to draw

[left sonnet]

Sorry for any silly questions, but if I have it saved to a table for example, and I have the call that inserts it, what would be the issue?

[fading rivet]

that would duplicate the entry

[left sonnet]

As in if it's deleted to clear the duplicate, what would stop it from copying METER.meter_UIBox to G.METER?

Wait

I might've found the issue

Nvm I've not

I did change if G.GAME.METER to if METER.meter_UIBox though because I never actually assign G.GAME.METER, unless that's intentional

[left sonnet]

So is this not sufficient then? It only assigns it when we're creating a run, which is only where I want it to be
if METER.meter_UIBox then G.METER = METER.meter_UIBox table.insert(G.I.NODE, G.METER) end

[fading rivet]

that should work

[left sonnet]

It appears to, still not sure on the Drawable issue though

It is from the graphics.draw at the start, but I don't know where it wants an argument

Okay wait I had my config unclosed 😭

Okay that wasn't the issue but somehow it wasn't giving an error either

The only Drawable I see is text_drawable so I'll try that

Setting text_drawable to true on them didn't seem to help

Ah, Drawable is a love property understandably

What's the purpose of using graphics.draw here if I've already set up a UIBox? Surely the Balatro UI should handle it

[primal robin]

UI shenanigans here

[left sonnet]

Yes indeed

My "UIBoxes aren't rendered", and as you do with Balatro, I'm peeking and poking til I find something

[primal robin]

70% code here basically nonsense btw

You dont need do anything related with manipulating of existence of element inside G.I.NODE or G.I.UIBOX or G.I.CARDAREA or anything else

Unless you need render in very specific layer in specific conditions

Which in 99% cases you dont need

Game deleted all nodes in almost everywhere between stage transitions, you dont need to do it manually

Also, you need to create UIBox when needed, not during game loading, UI is not supposed to exist or be manipulated that early

[left sonnet]

I see, could you point me in the right direction then? I've cleared space above the dollars_chips area, and below the blind/shop corner - I've got that UIBox and its function but it doesn't seem to render, it exists though cause you can change the offset and such

[left sonnet]

Noted, I had it as such before but I was following someone more experienced than myself

[primal robin]

depends on what you want to achieve
