[bold eagle]

like the cube in cryptid but also negative

[hidden notch]

I don't know the key but something like this would work;

set_ability = function(self, card, initial, delay_sprites)
  if card.config.center.discovered and initial then
    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
      func = function()
        card:set_edition('KEY_HERE') --> NEGATIVE EDITION KEY
        return true
      end
    }))
  end
end,

[bold eagle]

sweet, thank you

[uneven drift]

e_negative I think is negative edition

[bold eagle]

ok

[hidden notch]

Sounds right

[uneven drift]

I know cuz I always get editions wrong by not putting e_ prefix lol

im not good with adding prefixes

[bold eagle]

what would be the command for eternal?

[uneven drift]

still 50-50 on whether I want kerry to be eternal

[primal robin]

Honorable mention of Flowire

[uneven drift]

lol I dont know how hook interacts with kerry

probably LAMEly

[hidden notch]

[uneven drift]

can confirm its lame

no angy kerry

[uneven drift]

tbh you can get eternal egg and it does follow that sorta counter

[hidden notch]

I think you could be really cheaty and add it like this;

[bold eagle]

wait is that it

does that just straight up do it

[hidden notch]

-# Or also in 'set_ability' and apply it with the sticker command adding thingy lol

[hidden notch]

Yeah

[bold eagle]

dang ok im doing that thats easy

[slim ferry]

you can do card:add_sticker("eternal", true) in set_ability

which is probably better practice

[hidden notch]

That is much better

[bold eagle]

ok

[uneven drift]

my code is made with spit and duct tape and im proud of it

until it bugs out

[bold eagle]

hell yeah

ive only made one joker without significant amounts of help

[uneven drift]

I made gold bot fuck it we ball

[bold eagle]

and i highly doubt it work properly all the time

[uneven drift]

this one gave me no trouble making lol

the rest of em I needed some amount of help for

It's a collaberative effort

yapping petyr I dont think required that much help

spent more time making lines for his yaps then actually implementing his ability

(if hes not talking a lot, hes not using his ability)

[silk latch]

how would I filter for cards in hand that are also not highlighted?

[frosty rampart]

card.highlighted is set to true for any card that's highlighted

so just go through the cards in hand and check for if it's false

[wanton jolt]

i'm throwing the towel on this one

[hidden notch]

Fair enough, don't be too hard to yourself over it

[uneven drift]

decided to keep eternal but allow perishable. Get a low roll sticker and a high roll one

[bold eagle]

is there a list of G.STATES ?

I’m trying to make something not happen when you’re in a shop

nevermind forgot the vanilla remade faq exists

[uneven drift]

vanilla remade faq the goat

[bold eagle]

fr

[silk latch]

Then it crashes with

[SMODS mannpower "src/blinds/hasteblind copy.lua"]:19: attempt to index global 'card' (a nil value)

[frosty rampart]

it should just be if playing_card.highlighted == false then
i use card as a generic stand in for any card object, like playing_card in your for loop

[silk latch]

thanks

[viscid talon]

how do i give a joker -$20 sell value

-- Swindler
SMODS.Joker {
    key = "swindler",
    config = { extra = { mult = 20, dollars = 20 } },
    pos = { x = 9, y = 0 },
    cost = 5,
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = false,
    perishable_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    atlas = 'HLJokers',

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
        if context.selling_self then
            return {
                dollars = -card.ability.extra.dollars
            }
        end
    end
}

this mostly works, but it gives a sell value of $2 after taking away the $20

set_cost() hmmmm

-- Swindler
SMODS.Joker {
    key = "swindler",
    config = { extra = { mult = 20, price = 20 } },
    pos = { x = 9, y = 0 },
    cost = 5,
    rarity = 1,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    eternal_compat = false,
    perishable_compat = true,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = false,
    atlas = 'HLJokers',

    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.joker_main then
            return {
                mult = card.ability.extra.mult
            }
        end
        if context.selling_self then
            card.ability.extra_value = card.ability.price
            card:set_cost()
        end
    end
}

this did NOT work lol

[slim ferry]

this just makes it sell for $20 more

you should hook Card:set_cost to force sell value to -20 for this joker specifically

[viscid talon]

how do i hook it

[wanton jolt]

is there a reason why the consumeable (totem head of the printer) tooltip is not showing up?

[wanton jolt]

this is what i used to set copied card sell costs as 0

local cardSetCostHook = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    local ret = cardSetCostHook(self)
    if self.ability.felijo_copied then
        self.cost = 1
        self.sell_cost = 0
    end
    return ret
end

[silk latch]

Can't seem to find a way around this crash

[wanton jolt]

try if not playing_card.edition

[viscid talon]

thanks

[wanton jolt]

try changing L28 to if not playing_card.edition then

[silk latch]

I did, but it still had the [i] and crashed

so just remove it i guess

[wanton jolt]

yeah remove the [i]

[viscid talon]

so im guessing id write it as

-- Swindler Localisations (Code by LasagnaFelidae)

local cardSetCostHook = Card.set_cost
function Card:set_cost()
    local ret = cardSetCostHook(self)
    if (SMODS.find_card("j_hatchl_swindler")) then
        self.cost = 1
        self.sell_cost = 20
    end
    return ret
end```

[wanton jolt]

you're trying to something you already have

i think that would set every card's cost to 20 if you own swindler

[viscid talon]

i need to make it so that swindler specifically has a sell value of -20

[wanton jolt]

what you're checking is
if you own swindler

not if the card is swindler

[daring fern]

local oldcardsetsellvalue = Card.set_sell_value
function Card:set_sell_value()
    local g = oldcardsetsellvalue(self)
    if self.config.center.key == 'j_modprefix_key' then
        self.sell_cost = -20
    end
    return g
end

[wanton jolt]

yeah so

do what somethingcom did because i stopped typing when i saw the message

this would be better because you're hooking something i didnt know existed (set_sell_value())

[wanton jolt]

as i understand it would show the tool tip if its in G.P_CENTERS but Jokers are in there right

[viscid talon]

o i see i see

thank

s

truth be told i dont really know how hooks work so this is useful info

ive looked at the vanillaremade guide

still makes little sense to me 😭

[wanton jolt]

basically what you're doing is wrapping the function you are hooking with your code

[wanton jolt]

shouldnt g be local

[uneven drift]

Think of a function like a set of actions. Function is called, and the set of actions is performed

A hook is basically a spy, that sees the function being called and is going "wait now hold up, do THESE actions instead"

the real hooks was the imposters we made along the way

[viscid talon]

so if i had a function that told the program "print hello world" the hook would come in and say "actually print goodbye world instead"

[uneven drift]

Yeah, basically

[wanton jolt]

i mean it would print both

[uneven drift]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't if you dont return the original function

[daring fern]

Yes, but that would be an override, not a hook.

[wanton jolt]

this

[uneven drift]

yeah, my b, im confusing terminology

a hook says both an override says ur new thing

spy going "also do this" instead of "do this instead" in my analogy

its still a good analogy I think

😭

override is the evil spy

(usually you don't wanna override functions)

[slim ferry]

intruder alert

red spy in the base

[uneven drift]

the real hooks were the red spy's we made along the way

[wanton jolt]

ok so its because im stupid and left a space before the T: modifier

[uneven drift]

we love being stupid

[wanton jolt]

this shouldnt happen though

not working because of a space should not happen

[silk latch]

It still doesn't actually do anything as far as I can tell

[wispy falcon]

How do I change the mult of the current hand? Like the Mult from Chips x Mult

[wanton jolt]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-change-the-amount-of-chips-and-mult-about-to-be-scored-by-the-current-hand

@wispy falcon ^

[wispy falcon]

Thank you :3

[wanton jolt]

check this page for FAQ in modding

very useful

[wispy falcon]

Where do I use that? This doesn't work

        if context.main_scoring then
            mult = mod_mult(0)
        end
    end,```

[uneven drift]

yeah vanillaremade is the goat

[slim ferry]

it shouldnt be returned

wait

nvm

im blind

[daring fern]

It should be return {mult_mod = -mult}

[daring fern]

Code?

[silk latch]

if Cryptid then
    SMODS.Voucher {
        key = 'developer_console',
        atlas = 'vouchers',
        order = 32657,
        dependencies = {
            items = {
                "set_cry_tier3",
            },
        },
        pools = { ["Tier3"] = true },
        pos = { x = 2, y = 0 },
        requires = { 'v_mannpower_squad_surplus' },
        calculate = function(self, card, context)
            if context.create_booster_card and context.booster.config.center.group_key == "k_cry_program_pack" and pseudorandom("developer_console") > 0.8 then
                return { set = "Mannpower", key_append = "ar2" }
            end
        end
    }
end

[daring fern]

It should be return {booster_create_flags = {set = 'Mannpower', key_append = 'ar2'}}

[wispy falcon]

Still not working

        if context.main_scoring then
            return {mult_mod = -mult}
        end
    end,```

[daring fern]

What type of object is this?

[wispy falcon]

It's the calculate of an edition

[daring fern]

It should be (context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play) or context.pre_joker

[wispy falcon]

It works now, thank you!

[wispy falcon]

Wait, am I missing a context or why does it trigger so many times?

            SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'cstorm_glitch', 1, card.edition.odds) then
            card.glass_trigger = true
            return { remove = true }
        end```

Also, what does card.glass_trigger do? I didn't find out

[daring fern]

card.glass_trigger is so things can see that a card was shattered from being glass.

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[timid zinc]

is there a way to make it so a tag can only appear on skip blinds selection and not from any other thing that generates tags, like how legendaries and hidden spectrals are excluded from pools

[wispy falcon]

The edition has a 1 in 4 to destroy a random amount of cards currently in hand

[daring fern]

if context.after and SMODS.pseudorandom_probability(card, 'cstorm_glitch', 1, card.edition.odds) then
    return {func = function()
        local destroyed_cards = {}
        local temp_hand = SMODS.shallow_copy(G.hand.cards)
        table.sort(temp_hand, function(a, b) return not a.playing_card or not b.playing_card or a.playing_card < b.playing_card end)
        pseudoshuffle(temp_hand, 'seed')
        for i=1, pseudorandom('seed', 1, #G.hand.cards) do table.insert(destroyed_cards, temp_hand[i]) end
        SMODS.destroy_cards(destroyed_cards)
    end}
end

[wispy falcon]

Thank you again

[viscid talon]

for some reason my sephirot cards arent showing up

lemme update my repository and show you all the code i have written so far

[minor magnet]

why does this code make ghost cards? i can't figure it out

it doesn't even destroy cards

[viscid talon]

https://github.com/cosmeggo/Hatchet-Lite/tree/main <- here is the tree rn

https://github.com/cosmeggo/Hatchet-Lite/blob/main/src/sephirot.lua this is sephirot.lua specifically

sephirot cards seemingly dont exist

im aware that some jokers lack localisations, which is okay becasue ill add those later

the sephirot card set itself shows up

but no cards ;-;

[minor magnet]

the script is not loaded

check main.lua

[viscid talon]

oh shit

ur right

[minor magnet]

ur welcome :)

[viscid talon]

LMAO IM SO DUMB 😭

yeppers they show up now

[daring fern]

What is the goal?

[minor magnet]

have the cards be discarded after any hand is played

[daring meteor]

guys can yall hepl

how can i activate on-sell effects???? context.selling_self doesn't work

[frosty rampart]

show code, because context.selling_self is literally the context designed for on-sell effects

[daring meteor]

calculate = function(self, card, context)

        local extra = card.ability.extra
        if not extra then return end

        if context.individual and context.other_card then
            local c = context.other_card

            if c.ability and c.ability.set == "Enhanced" then
                extra.counter = (extra.counter or 0) + 1

                if extra.counter >= 15 then
                    local gain = math.floor(extra.counter / 15)
                    extra.counter = extra.counter % 15
                    extra.X = (extra.X or 0) + gain

                    return {
                        message = "+1 X",
                        colour = G.C.CHIPS,
                        card = card
                    }
                end
            end
        end

        if context.selling_self then
            print("sell")
            extra.sold = true
        end
    end,

idk how to format

[dapper sun]

```lua
--like this

--like this

[daring meteor]

k

did we all just leave?

[dapper sun]

hmm

try putting the context.selling_self stuff at the top of the calculate function

[daring meteor]

alr

still nothjing

[dapper sun]

weird

maybe uhhh

print(inspect(context)) at the top of the calculate function and check what it prints in debugplus when you sell the card

[daring meteor]

OOOOOOOOH IT PRINTS IN DEBUGPLUS?? ok

ok it says selling_self

alr so i just have to fix the code

[near coral]

Are shader colors like in polychrome decided by hexes or hues

[frosty rampart]

rgba format by default, with each value going from 0 to 1
there are lots of shaders out there with functions to convert between rgb and hsl tho, you can just steal that if that makes more sense to you

[near coral]

I work in hsv mostly

[rapid stag]

am i doing this correctly? because i'm not getting dupes in testing

why did i not show the whole hook

@red flower i'm following the vremade example but idk what's happening

[red flower]

looks correct to me

[rapid stag]

i'm not getting dupes

nvm i got a dupe

rng was just being reeeeeeeeally weird

[gilded blaze]

did you not open a mega arcana pack
it's a lot easier to get dupes there than mindlessly rerolling the shop

[red flower]

you should have just given yourself every tarot

[rapid stag]

...

right

[trim marten]

Does anybody know how to specifically change the background of the game? just started modding textures and I'm not sure how to do it.

[fading rivet]

like the colors or something else?

the background is a shader iirc

so making it into an image would take a bit of work

[trim marten]

It can't be that hard 🤷‍♂️

if you know anything i'd be grateful for the knowledge

[gilded blaze]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/pull/1340 we have a WIP PR for that

[trim marten]

thank crodie

[quasi comet]

i'm making stakes for my mod and it appears in the menu and all but it's unselectable ? (its above gold stake, and gold stake was beaten)

[bold eagle]

how do i make a joker randomly disable other jokers

i cant find anything about disabling jokers/cards

debuff i mean

[faint yacht]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Utility#smodsdebuff_cardcard-debuff-source

[bold eagle]

ok thank you

yeah i dont really know how to apply all that

is truthy/falsy value just like true or false

[gilded blaze]

falsy = false or nil
truthy = true or any value

[bold eagle]

oh ok

thank you

[naive coral]

How could i create a random joker of a certain rarity?

[daring fern]

SMODS.add_card({set = 'Joker', rarity = 'modprefix_key'})

[naive coral]

Just common for common jokers? It seems to be giving rares and uncommon too

Wait nvm

Im dumb

[wispy falcon]

How easy would it be to make Balatro's UI change transparency when something happens?

Would probably need to patch that

[primal robin]

[wispy falcon]

How do I hide the stickers on a card, when a specific edition is on it?

[silk latch]

dude why isn't this set's soul card working man

[slim ferry]

why dont you set the soul rat to 1 for testng

[silk latch]

idk how to do that

[wanton jolt]

soul_rate = 1

[silk latch]

on the card itself or the set definition?

[slim ferry]

the card

[wanton jolt]

card

[silk latch]

okay cool it does work I guess OFFBYONE is just a fraud

[slim ferry]

its still a 0.3% chance

by default

[silk latch]

yeah but I opened like a dozen packs with dozens of slots each

[gilded blaze]

you underestimated 0.3%

[silk latch]

I'm contemplating splitting this effect between two soul cards
PowerPlay for the Polychrome, and Godmode for the Negatives

[gilded blaze]

yea, do it

both are strong enough standalone

[knotty solstice]

which mod is the best for stacking cards jokers consumables etc

so I can get to insane amounts like 1 trillion jokers 1 trillion consumables

[shell timber]

you are not going to get to 1 trillion jokers

[rapid stag]

yeah this is balatro, we call it 1e12 jokers

[tidal hemlock]

this is talisman, we call it e1.2e1 jokers

[shell timber]

wouldnt it be ee1.079 or something

[thorn ingot]

Guys. How do I increase the weight of all spectral packs using the object poll thing?

The code I used to use doesn't work anymore, sadly.

[shell timber]

if context.modify_weights and context.pool_types.Booster then
    for _, pack in pairs(context.pool) do
        if pack.key == "p_spectral_normal_1" or
            pack.key == "p_spectral_normal_2" or
            pack.key == "p_spectral_jumbo_1" or
            pack.key == "p_spectral_mega_1" then
            pack.weight = pack.weight * whatever
        end
    end
end

[thorn ingot]

Also, does the option to introduce weights mess up the seeds too bad?

[thorn ingot]

uuu, thanks man.

[shell timber]

what was your old code actually

[tidal hemlock]

typically seeds arent used for modded content

because mods that add any amount of content screw up seeds

[thorn ingot]

Yeah, I guess that's true. thanks.

[thorn ingot]

    get_weight = function(self)
        if G.GAME.stake >= 6 then
            return self.weight * 1.8
        end
        return self.weight
    end
}, true)```
Scuffed, I know.

I think it was like that, I deleted this morning, haha. nvm, it is correct.
I think it got messed up in the last update or two.

does add_to_deck work for setting a cards enhancements?

as in if an enhacement has add_to_deck in its abilities, will that trigger when a card is set to the enhancement?#

[viscid talon]

bizarre

when i try to decrease the card rank it just

crashes

idk why

it used to work but it no worky

[tidal hemlock]

why are you omori now

[viscid talon]

idk

its fine i got it fixed

i had to import some older code

how do i get the least played hand

do i just do most played hand code but

local hand_name, play_count = 'High Card', math.huge -- how max integer get?
for hand_key, hand in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if hand.played < _played then
        play_count = hand.played

I'm experiencing a bug with one of my jokers:

if (context.joker_type_destroyed and context.card == card) and not context.blueprint_card then
local editionType = nil
if self.edition ~= nil then
editionType = "e_" .. card.edition.type
end
SMODS.destroy_cards(card)
if editionType ~= nil then
SMODS.add_card { key = "j_goob_Kerry_rage", edition = editionType }
else
SMODS.add_card { key = "j_goob_Kerry_rage", no_edition = true }
end
end
if ceremonial dagger destroys the joker, I get 2 copies of "j goob kerry rage" and not 1

gonna troubleshoot other destroying methods

nah it just seems to be dagger

wait no madness does it too

but not the spectral card

oh

its because the card is already being destroyed

duh doi

smods.destroy card is redundent

nevermind

I am not sure why that wasnt an infinite loop

riddle me that one batman

[daring fern]

Yes, but you would also want to check if SMODS.is_poker_hand_visible(hand_key)

[uneven drift]

Like, as the card is being destroyed I had code to destroy it..which would retrigger the context destroying it

why would it only repeat one additional time

[prisma wind]

hello people, i wanna start modding balatro, where do i start?

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki good place to start I think

[versed swan]

Get used to reading the SMODS doc as well - don't let it scare you, take your time reading it

[prisma wind]

awesome, thanks, but where do i actually code? like in the game's direct source code or do i make a new file from scratch?

[uneven drift]

New files from scratch

the vanillaremade guide and smods docs will explain things

[prisma wind]

thanks, yall are a big help

👍

[rapid stag]

how increase discards? ok it is just ease_discard

[daring fern]

Yes, but if you want to add permanent discards you would also modify G.GAME.round_resets.discards

[rapid stag]

that's fine, it's just for the blind 👍

[fading rivet]

would recommend
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1486847115127947374

[rapid stag]

am i correct in thinking that this would get me the name of both the hand played - and the hand that was discarded?

[prisma wind]

SMODS.Joker {
key = "susjoker"
atlas = "placeholders",
pos = {
x = 0,
y = 0
},
config = {
extra = {
chips = 6152018
}
},
rarity = 1,
cost = 0,

loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
    return {
        vars = {
            card.ability.extra.chips
        }
    }
end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.joker_main then
        return {
            chips = card.ability.extra.chips
        }
end

}

my joker wont appear

is there something wrong with this code or is it somewhere else

[idle plaza]

There are multiple syntax errors here. If your game loads despite that, then that implies this code is never even seen by the game. Where did you put this? If it's in a file separate from your main lua file, you need to load that separate file manually using assert(SMODS.load_file("your_filename_here.lua"))()

As for syntax errors:

• Missing comma after key = "susjoker"
• There should be two ends before the final } of your code here, not just one end

[prisma wind]

oh damn, i suck at coding, thanks for your help!

[idle plaza]

It's fine, everyone has to start somewhere.

[bold eagle]

how does SMODS.recalc_debuff(card) work, recalculates debuff doesnt tell me much

[bold eagle]

local jcard = pseudorandom_element(jokers,"zwp_random")

how would I get the key of the joker output by this

[daring fern]

jcard.config.center.key

[bold eagle]

ok thank you

and that will return "j_modprefix_key" correct?

[daring fern]

Yes.

[bold eagle]

cool, thank you

what does this error mean

[fading rivet]

its checks every card to see if it should be debuffed

use it if you make a change to what cards should be debuffed outside of the debuff context

[distant junco]

bump?

[fading rivet]

try it

[distant junco]

i just realised i could

fr

it does not

[faint yacht]

set_ability function does get called when enhancement is applied.

[distant junco]

thanks!!

[silent sail]

whats the infoqueue for editions?

info_queue[#1116390750314307698_queue + 1] = G.P_CENTRES["e_baggutro_faded"]

cause this isnt working

[faint yacht]

G.P_CENTERS.

[silent sail]

foiled by englishh difference once again

[gilded blaze]

blame for inconsistencies

center
colour

[mystic river]

i assume that's how they do it in canadia

[silk latch]

How would I check for the amount of times a seal has triggered this run?

[mystic river]

i don't think that function is built in anywhere, but you can add it to the mod calculate (if you mean any seal, or any seal of type X) or the seal calculate (if you mean a specific seal object)

[cloud wraith]

Yall know if the game has an internal timer that counts how much time have you spent in a run or do I have to built that from the ground up

[silk latch]

Is there a way for a challenge deck to ban all of a specific card type except for a specific whitelist or do I have to ban everything outside of the whitelist by hand?

[primal robin]

need own one

[cloud wraith]

Damn

[silk latch]

how would I do the mod calculate thing (this is for a specific seal)?
(i.e. where would I put it)

[mystic river]

doesn't matter where you put it as long as it gets loaded

[analog slate]

yea uhhh one question, how is the square joker set up in like height and width wise, i wanna make a card of its size..

[distant junco]

like so. it specifies the height in the pixel_size

you can do this width too

[analog slate]

ohhhhhhh thx

i was also asking cuz liike to get templ8s i take the joker.png from the files copy it into my mod and crop, so should it be 71 X 71

[distant junco]

sorry i dont understand could you explain that again lol

[analog slate]

like you take the joker.png file from the game (this image) and crop said item, square joker, whats its width naturally?

[mystic river]

every joker image in that file is 71x95 px

[analog slate]

except for square..

if im correct

no w8 nvm

theres some space

[silk latch]

then how do I make a variable like G.GAME.consumeable_usage_total.tarot?

[mystic river]

do you know how variables in lua work

[analog slate]

i understand partially what context.joker_main and G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name] and G.GAME.hands[context.scoring_name].played_this_round > 1 means but how can i change context.scoring_name to refer to a rank

[silk latch]

Not really on a global scale

[mystic river]

https://www.lua.org/pil/4.1.html

[analog slate]

i cant find any similar things on the vanillaremade wiki D:

[mystic river]

why do you want context.scoring_name to refer to a rank

that's the name of the poker hand

[analog slate]

i dont i want a replacement

something similar to it

for ranks

[mystic river]

you want context[something that refers to a rank]?

i don't know what would be "similar to this but for ranks"

try explaining it directly

[analog slate]

yea pretty much but more like context[something that refers to a rank].played_this_round > 1

like essentially how can i get if said rank was already played

[mystic river]

broader stats like cards played in a round are not tracked in context

that's what G.GAME is for

[analog slate]

oh....

but how come?

[mystic river]

context is the immediate context of what's currently being calculated

[analog slate]

ohh.. yea makes sense

[mystic river]

it's temporary and will be lost when calculation completes

[analog slate]

oh yea.. but i wanna know if the rank was played THIS ROUND

so wouldnt it be context?

[mystic river]

no

same reason number of discards remaining isn't in context

[analog slate]

ohhh

ok i get that and all but what would be the syntax to write, would it be like G.GAME.rank.already_played = True?

[mystic river]

G.GAME.rank isn't a variable that exists
also true is the boolean value, not True

[analog slate]

oh.. i get confused with how its used because i do python

and have some knowledge with lua

but how can i write it

[mystic river]

to assign a boolean to a variable you do variable = true

the same way you assign any other value

[analog slate]

no more like get if rank was played but that helps too
w8 dont variables start like local variable = "string" or soemthing like that or am i confusing it with robloxs terrible lua

[mystic river]

you don't have to declare global variables in advance, only locals

i don't believe there's anything in vanilla or smods that tracks whether a given rank has been played this round; you'd need to build that yourself

[analog slate]

oh dang..

i could do a list/dictionary

rite?

im used to roblox lua and not as much as balatro engine lua, would i write lists/dictionarys/whatever its called like local list = {thing,thing2}

and i forgor how to addd

[mystic river]

thunk didn't change any of the basic lua syntax

[analog slate]

ohhhh okie

[mystic river]

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
  if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and not SMODS.has_no_rank(context.other_card) then
    G.GAME.ranks_played_this_round = G.GAME.ranks_played_this_round or {}
    G.GAME.ranks_played_this_round[context.other_card:get_id()] = (G.GAME.ranks_played_this_round[context.other_card:get_id()] or 0) + 1
  end

  if context.end_of_round and context.main_eval then
    G.GAME.ranks_played_this_round = {}
  end
end

(though i'd double check the end of round part, i'm not sure mods do main_eval)

[analog slate]

that is way to complex for me, could you add like comments to it or explain..

please

[frosty rampart]

(i'd recommend naming the variable something like G.GAME.modprefix_ranks_played_this_round but with your actual mod prefix, so that it doesn't collide with any other mods that might do the same thing)

[mystic river]

if a card jsut got scored
  create the table if it doesn't exist
  at the index of the just-scored-card's id, add +1 to the count

if the round is over
  empty the table

[analog slate]

alright.. and i would write luas form of saying "if the rank of this card is contained in G.GAME.modprefix_ranks_played_this_round then do thing" right

[mystic river]

if we're in whatever context that cares about cards scored this round
  if table[rank id] then that rank has been scored this round, do whatever we care about this for

[analog slate]

alright

can i print a value into that console in balatro modded

[mystic river]

did you try it?
do you have debugplus? you can just use the in-game console to test something that simple

[analog slate]

oh..

ok so i have my code right? and essentially where can i insert the thing it does

for this example my item will give 4 dollars in game if the rank was played, i dont think i need help with the giving money but i will need help with the like where i put it

[mystic river]

have you looked at the smods wiki at all?

when someone asks "where do i put my code" there are several values of "where" they could be referring to depending on how much they understand about basic code ideas

[analog slate]

i like looking at vanillaremade instead because it has everything laid out but i could check

[mystic river]

vanillaremade is great for examples, but if you want explanations of basic structure, you should look at the actual documentation

[analog slate]

alright im more asking like i have the thing right? but now how am i going to add the like
if this is contained in this list
give four dolla

[mystic river]

do you mean: a calculate function?

[analog slate]

kinda yea

[mystic river]

i know vanillaremade has many examples of calculate functions

[analog slate]

but like now im askign whats the difference between calculate = function(self,card,context) and SMODS.current_mod_calculate = function(self, context)

[mystic river]

well. you see. your mod isn't a card.

[analog slate]

yea...

[mystic river]

so it doesn't take a card parameter.

(also it's current_mod.calculate, not current_mod_calculate, that was a typo)

[analog slate]

oh okie

do i keep it outside the smods.joker?

or do i keep looking like an idiot

[mystic river]

the mod calculate??? yeah you declare a mod calculate outside a joker

[analog slate]

so where can i put it now, at the top?

thats rhetorical

yea i can

or atleast i think

ok.. now i add it all

[mystic river]

it mostly doesn't matter what order you do it in, as long as you don't try to call any functions or reference any variables that don't exist yet (but declaring a function now that calls something which doesn't exist yet is fine, if you know it won't be called until the thing exists)

[analog slate]

i have it like this? do i have to declare the variable somewhere

[mystic river]

you don't have to declare that you're adding to a table that already exists, which SMODS.current_mod is

[analog slate]

w8 is current_mod a placeholder where i put my prefix

[mystic river]

no

[analog slate]

oh ok

[mystic river]

when smods loads your mod, it sets SMODS.current_mod to your mod's table

[analog slate]

ok..

now how do i get if the rank was already played with this list and newfound knowledge

[mystic river]

well, based on what you've typed so far, what will be true if a rank has been played at least once this round?

[rapid stag]

you can also get SMODS.Mods.your_mod_id

which is a permanent and stable reference to your mod's table

[analog slate]

rank is contained in the G.GAME.epicerMod.ranks_played_this_round

thats played

[mystic river]

so
check what's there

and compare it to the card currently being scored

[analog slate]

ok lemme enable debugplus

alright but did we add a calculate = function(self,card,context)?

[mystic river]

you appear to have created the beginning of a global calculate function

[analog slate]

now what would i put in debugplus

[mystic river]

eval 2+2

[analog slate]

alr

that just adds four

[mystic river]

yeah
now you know what that command does

[analog slate]

evaluates

can add

[mystic river]

G is a table full of globals
you can look at them

[analog slate]

how

[mystic river]

well you see. variables have names. try typing the name of a variable

[analog slate]

ok uhhmmm would i write in full like

G.GAME.epicerMod.ranks_played_this_round

[mystic river]

that's the name of the table yes

you know that's the name of the table because that's what you named the table

[analog slate]

it cant find it because i use prefix "epicerMod" do i remove it?

[mystic river]

what exactly is it saying

[analog slate]

attempt to index field 'epicermod' (nil value)

something like that

[mystic river]

oh i see
you misunderstood what meta meant by "prefix"
she was suggesting that you change the name of the variable
what you did was not that

[analog slate]

nvm i think i got it lemme see

no i dont it says nil when i write it as a command XD

[mystic river]

prefix_name is the variable named prefix_name
table.name is the variable named name inside the table named table. but you can't declare variables in a table that doesn't exist yet

[analog slate]

so i type like G.GAME.table.ranks_played_this_round

[mystic river]

what

[analog slate]

would i type in eval G.GAME.table.ranks_played_this_round wheres tables significance in the text to find it

[mystic river]

i'd recommend naming the variable something like G.GAME.modprefix_ranks_played_this_round
please note that meta did not say G.GAME.modprefix.ranks

[analog slate]

ohhhhhh ok

[mystic river]

you will have to change it in the mod calculate too

[analog slate]

wdym

[mystic river]

your mod calculate is currently going to crash when you play any card

[analog slate]

ok...

i haevnt put code in yet

[mystic river]

what do you mean you haven't put code in

[analog slate]

like the calculate in the card that does the function.. havent done that yet

[mystic river]

you can't check whether your code works if you don't. use. your code.

your code to do a thing will not do a thing if you don't do the code

[analog slate]

oh yea..

in short what am i writing in eval

[mystic river]

these are not magic passwords that extract desired behavior from the aether, these are instructions to a computer

[analog slate]

ok sorry

[mystic river]

nothing, because you are looking for the results of a behavior you have not yet implemented

[analog slate]

im starting to understand it now

we can say that G.GAME.epicerMod.ranks_played_this_round wont exist because it cant collectively read the mod prefix.. and without it its nothing
but i can still find variables!

[mystic river]

G.GAME.epicermod doesn't exist because you never declared it. this is the default state of all variables
because it doesn't exist, you can't declare G.GAME.epicermod[some subvalue], because this would require first indexing G.GAME.epicermod, which is nil

[analog slate]

ohhhhhh so its G.GAME.epicermod[ranks_played_this_round] and not exactly G.GAME.epicerMod.ranks_played_this_round

[mystic river]

not remotely

[analog slate]

ok.. am i getting there though?

[mystic river]

table.value is shorthand for table["value"], that is, the value inside table indexed at the string "value"

[silk latch]

I don't get how this applies to me trying to format a global variable and give it a way to automatically update when a specific seal is played during that specific run

[mystic river]

table[value] would be indexing at the contents of the variable named value

which leads to my favorite cursed fact about lua

local table = {}
table[table] = table

this table consists of a single index, itself, which contains a single value, also itself

[analog slate]

OH W8 I THINK I GET IT

if ranks_played_this_round is a table then i can say like ranks_played_this_round[1]

[mystic river]

you can, yes
that would get the value indexed at the number 1

(not to be confused with the string "1", which would be a different value)

[silk latch]

And for this one (which is not related to the achievement thing), the reason I'm asking is because I'd rather not have to blacklist every Joker except the ones that follow the criteria.

[analog slate]

alright alright

idk if im being just an idiot but im essentially saying eval G.GAME.epicerMod.ranks_played_this_round[1] or it has to be said differently

[mystic river]

probably useful context: Card:get_id() returns a number, the id of the card's rank (or a random massively negative number if the card has no rank, e.g. Stone)

what rank has the id 1?

[analog slate]

hmmmmmmmmm

wehere am i finding it in eval

im slowly getting confused i think i might need a break at some point.....

[mystic river]

well, dp.hovered contains whatever you're hovering over, if you want to look at the numbers in a card object

(if you're running debugplus)

[analog slate]

alright..

[mystic river]

so you could do eval dp.hovered:get_id() on any card you can hover over

[analog slate]

ok we have the id

thats nice knowing card ids

[mystic river]

also. i've tried saying this a few ways but i don't think you've even noticed?
you don't want epicerMod.ranks_played_this_round. you want epicerMod_ranks_played_this_round

[analog slate]

OHHHH

[mystic river]

the first one tries to find a variable named ranks_played_this_round inside a table named epicerMod (which is a problem, since you've never declared such a table)
the second one just tries to find a variable named epicerMod_ranks_played_this_round

[analog slate]

i get nil but its probably because im not specifying. if i write it like eval epicerMod_ranks_played_this_round its gonna come as nil but if i specify like eval epicerMod_ranks_played_this_round[1] ill get something right?

no

[mystic river]

if you eval an empty table you should get something like

Table:

if you eval a variable that doesn't exist you'll just get nil

[analog slate]

alright makes sense

[mystic river]

the difference is important, because empty_table.index is just nil (which is generally fine in if checks, it's basically just false), but nonexistent_table.index gets you an error

[analog slate]

ok.. so that means our table does exist because it doesnt give us an error

[mystic river]

which table?

[analog slate]

the table were trying to get answers from when trying to eval

[mystic river]

name

[analog slate]

epicerMod_ranks_played_this_round

[mystic river]

if you fixed and implemented your mod calculate i would expect that table to exist

though i would not expect that if you did not do so

[analog slate]

i did insert it

[mystic river]

you don't appear to have fixed it

that code will crash the moment a card is scored

[analog slate]

it hasnt tho.. its probably because i havent fully set the thing up..

what do i fix however

oh w8

[analog slate]

i was thinking that too

lemme test it

ok so i might be trying to type it in wrong but im not so sure

well get back to it l8r

[silk latch]

okay wait so would something like this work?

SMODS.current_mod.calculate = function(self, context)
    if context.individual and context.cardarea == G.hand and context.other_card.seal == "mannpower_strange" then
        G.GAME.mannpower_strange_counter = G.GAME.mannpower_strange_counter or 0
        G.GAME.mannpower_strange_counter = (G.GAME.mannpower_strange_counter or 0) + 1
    end
    if G.GAME.mannpower_strange_counter >= 10 then
        check_for_unlock({ type = 'strange_threshold1' })
    end
end
SMODS.Achievement {
    key = "strange1",
    bypass_all_unlocked = true,
    unlock_condition = function(self, args)
        if args.type == "strange_threshold1" then
            return true
        end
    end,
}

[tranquil gull]

so chat

i wonder how hard it would be to put expantanum into talisman

[rapid stag]

by default, check_for_unlock isn't called during a seeded run, right? or do i have to account for that in a hook

[rapid stag]

question, SMODS.Enhancement can into add_to_deck?

[frosty rampart]

nope

[rapid stag]

hmm. what calculate context(s) should i use to substitute for that, then

i'm trying to implement a deck effect that changes the amount of held xmult steel cards have

[frosty rampart]

in that case, i'd actually recommend just taking ownership of the steel enhancement to give different xmult if the deck is active

but if you do want to just go the route of modifying steel cards as they appear, context.setting_ability is used when a card changes its ability, which usually includes applying an enhancement. and you can check context.new to see which enhancement it is
pair that with context.playing_card_added to account for cards that are created as steel already (e.g. cards found in standard packs or from familiar), and you should be good

[silk latch]

This is certainly code

[queen crescent]

am i layering patches correctly

ok i figured that out, but now i need to plug my atlas on there

[viscid talon]

error

im trying to modify these booster packs

im unsure how to fix this file

[slim ferry]

all of the packs appear to be lacking a create_card function

[viscid talon]

whoops

willf ix

[knotty solstice]

someone that understands shader

    vec4 tex = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
    
    float gray = (tex.r + tex.g + tex.b) / 3.0;
    vec3 gold = vec3(0.85,0.8,0.43);
    float factor = smoothstep(0.0,3000.0,time);
    tex.rgb = mix(tex.rgb,vec3(gray)*gold,factor);

why does this is always same color

instead of being animated

both have same edition

[wintry solar]

time is a fixed value

[silk latch]

    check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
        return args.type == 'strange_threshold1' and (G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Stake[G.GAME.stake].key == "red" or
            G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Stake[G.GAME.stake].key == "blue") and true 
    end

Why isn't this working for unlocking my deck?

[knotty solstice]

thanks

[wintry solar]

what's your shader name?

[knotty solstice]

which value should I use for color animations?

[knotty solstice]

golden_shader

[wintry solar]

that's the name of the vec2 inside your shader, right>?

[knotty solstice]

yes

[wintry solar]

use golden_shader.g instead

that's actually the time

[knotty solstice]

thanks

that helped a lot

I was breaking my mind trying to understand

[wintry solar]

yeah I don't know why thunk named that value time when it isn't a time value

[slim ferry]

what does that actually equal

[wintry solar]

well, it is the time in the CRT shader

[slim ferry]

oh

genius!

[silk latch]

(This is supposed to check for when the strange_threshold1 check_for_unlock thing occurs on either Red or Blue Stake)

[wintry solar]

but otherwise its this G.SHADERS[_shader or 'dissolve']:send("time",123.33412*(_draw_major.ID/1.14212 or 12.5123152)%3000)

[frosty rampart]

genius!

[prisma wind]

i feel like i'm doing my folder loop wrong, can someone help?

[frosty rampart]

this crash is unrelated to the folder loop
the atlas with the key "sussy" is attempting to load an image file that doesn't exist

[cinder elk]

oh no

[viscid talon]

could someone check over a part of my localisation? the sephirot cards arent having their localisation show up

here is the en-us.lua file

all of the other localisations work fine

but the localisation wont show up

here's sephirot.lua if it helps

[daring fern]

SMODS.ConsumableTypes don't get their mod prefix added automatically.

[viscid talon]

o

how do i fix this

[daring fern]

You would remove it from the key in localization, or you would add it to the key manually.

[viscid talon]

which means...?

sorry, i suck at understanding context clues and such

i need visual explanations for this sorta stuff

oh i found this in main.lua

    key = 'sephirot',
    primary_colour = HEX('0ebab2'),
    secondary_colour = HEX('0ebab2'),
    collection_rows = { 4, 5 },
    shop_rate = 0,
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Sephirot",
        collection = "Sephirot Cards",
    }
}

hmmm

needs adjusting i think

anyways looks like i fixed it

[silk latch]

I don't get why this isn't working

[rapid stag]

bump

[wanton jolt]

oh hell yeah

[cinder elk]

everything past Mags hasn't been implemented yet

[wanton jolt]

are they jokers or blinds

[silk latch]

Okay I've changed it to

    check_for_unlock = function(self, args)
        if args.type == "strange_threshold1" then
            if G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Stake[G.GAME.stake].key == "red" or
                G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Stake[G.GAME.stake].key == "blue" then
                return true
            end
        end
    end

and it works without the part where I check the stake, but doesn't if I include the stake check.

[mystic river]

it's called, it just returns immediately
i did a thing in bibliography to allow specific unlocks in seeded runs, mainly because the unlock method i picked was "type a specific seed", terraria style

specifically i did this thing https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/Bibliography/blob/main/lib/hooks.lua#L146

[rapid stag]

nvm i'm dumb

[silk latch]

Also uh this doesn't work at all

SMODS.Voucher {
        key = 'developer_console',
        atlas = 'vouchers',
        dependencies = {
            items = {

[rapid stag]

ok, i have string A which is a hand name and string B which is also a hand name
just from those strings, how can i tell if the hand that A describes, contains B?

like i know that say, if A is a three of a kind and B is a high card, A would absolutely contain B

[daring fern]

You would have to create every card in A's example, put those in a table, then you would check if next(select(3, G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(hand))[B])

[cinder elk]

jokers!

[rapid stag]

maybe i'm overthinking what i'm trying to do here, then

basically - i want to know if the hand that was played or discarded here contains the most played hand and if it contains the least played hand

[frosty rampart]

yea you don't need to do what somethingcom gave you
just do G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(context.full_hand)["High Card"] (to see if it contains high card)

i think just wrapping that in next(...) should be enough to properly check

[rapid stag]

this will work both in the case of context.before and context.pre_discard?

[frosty rampart]

yes, both of those contexts have context.full_hand

[rapid stag]

oh, it does have context.full_hand

ok

doesn't get_poker_hand_info return like 5 things though

[frosty rampart]

well yea
that's why you index it with the ["High Card"] at the end to get just the hand you're looking for, and then wrap it in next(...) to check if any of that specific hand actually exists in the original hand

[rapid stag]

oh, i was substituting high card with my variable

[frosty rampart]

ye that's correct (i think)

as long as it's the proper name of a poker hand

[rapid stag]

bad argument to next

[frosty rampart]

yea sorry i dunno how exactly get_poker_hand_info works off the top of my head

use debugplus to interact with the function and see how it's all laid out

[daring fern]

next(select(3, G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(context.full_hand))[hand])

[silk latch]

help

[rapid stag]

could you elaborate on it not working? like it doesn't show up in G.P_CENTERS?

[silk latch]

The mannpower cards don't show up in the code packs

[rapid stag]

well based on the pseudorandom("developer_console") > 0.8, it's a 20% chance, right? if you're making sure it works, have you tried without that check
might just be bad luck

although i'm not entirely sure that's how that works

[silk latch]

nope

[daring fern]

What version of SMODS do you have?

[rapid stag]

does updating to current release work

[silk latch]

Kinda???

[quick scarab]

good or not?

[daring fern]

You need to add skip_materialize = true to the table.

[uneven drift]

Kerry has weird interactions with cryptid mod but idc 🔥

Rework card destroys a joker but doesnt trigger kerry destruction

maybe for the best

[inland vessel]

I have elected to change the global color values of the High Contrast mode hex codes

works great, though I'm sure it's not a very versatile solution

[uneven drift]

Is there a way to increase the odds that your modded jokers appear in the shop?

thinking about making a joker along that line, so I dont want it to be like 100% lol

[gilded blaze]

enable object weights

[queen crescent]

yall 😭

[rare minnow]

anyone know why this doesn't work?

[faint yacht]

if context.joker_main then return { xmult = card.ability.extra.Xmult } end

[normal crest]

Put that inside calculate ^

Instead of what you have

[rare minnow]

thank you

[uneven drift]

is there a way to check if a skipped blind was a small blind, specifically?

G.GAME.blind:get_type() im assuming?

[obtuse wraith]

Interesting character.

[daring fern]

No, it would be G.GAME.blind_on_deck

[uneven drift]

alright

basically if skipped context and blind_on_deck is big

[silent sail]

how do i do animatied jokers?

ik i put the sprites on the sheet but how do i code it

[faint yacht]

atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS', -- set atlas to be animated
frames = 10, -- how many frames
fps = 4 -- optional, how fast it animates

when using SMODS.Atlas to define an atlas.

[silent sail]

i seee

does it need to be its own atlas or just need to all be together

[faint yacht]

In theory, you can point to same file, but keep in mind that animated atlases will ignore the x value of pos.

[silent sail]

pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
atlas_table = 'draugratlas',
frames = 10,
fps = 2,

wait

i think i forgot teh .png

nope nvm it just isnt working

[frosty dock]

you put your key as atlas_table

[silent sail]

wrong thing

oops

[frosty dock]

[silent sail]

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "draugratlas", 
    path = "draugratlas.png", 
    px = 71,
    py = 95, 
    atlas_table = "ANIMATION_ATLAS"
})

[frosty dock]

where is frames

looks fine otherwise

[silent sail]

frames is in the top one

pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
atlas_table = 'draugratlas',
frames = 10,
fps = 2,

im definately doing something wrong but i cant figure out what

[slim ferry]

frames is part of the atlas definition

and so is fps

[silent sail]

ah

put them both in and it still isnt working

[faint yacht]

SMODS.Atlas({key = "TOGAJokersUpdate", path = "togajokerupdate.png", px = 71, py = 95, atlas_table = 'ANIMATION_ATLAS', frames = 10, fps = 4})

Something like such.

[silent sail]

SMODS.Atlas({
    key = "draugratlas", 
    path = "draugratlas.png", 
    px = 71,
    py = 95, 
    atlas_table = "ANIMATION_ATLAS",
    frames = 10,
    fps = 2,
})

pos = { x = 0, y = 0 },
atlas_table = 'draugratlas',

[faint yacht]

It's just atlas for use in SMODS.Joker.

[silent sail]

this is a consumable

turns out that works aswell

yay

[fading rivet]

is the last played hand type stored somewhere or do I have to track it

[frosty dock]

SMODS.last_hand.scoring_name?

not sure that exists when you need it to

[fading rivet]

that should work, thx

[crystal perch]

is there a way i can make an enhancement cause a card to never score? like the opposite of stone?

[slim ferry]

never_scores = true iirc

[broken rivet]

does anyone here have any idea of what's going on here (there should be 8 sprites arranged in a 4x2 grid)

the sprites are all handled by an extension of Moveable

[frosty dock]

are the sprites missing or just empty?

[broken rivet]

missing

[frosty dock]

too little info then

[broken rivet]

what other info would i need

[crystal perch]

show the code

[broken rivet]

hold on

vs code gave the ui function wonky indentation when i copypasted it 😭

honestly i'm not even sure how to go about finding where the error even is

[frosty dock]

can't look at all of this on mobile, but one thing that seems problematic is self.children.sprite.states = self.states

it makes both states tables the same table

[broken rivet]

i will note the sprite that does appear also flies in from the top of the screen

[broken rivet]

ah

so i might want to do copy_table(self.states)?

[frosty dock]

mhm

[broken rivet]

didn't fix the collection issue but good to know anyway

[frosty dock]

yeah I wasn't confident that's the issue. just the first thing I noticed

[broken rivet]

kinda wondering if it might be something here

idk if the moveable being local is fucking things up

i noticed the blind moveable gets added to G.I.CARD

but doing that doesn't seem to help

i had previously used SMODS.create_sprite for this which worked fine

[frosty dock]

that's because it's a card and not a custom Moveable extension

[broken rivet]

Blind is not an instance of Card???

[frosty dock]

oh I thought you meant the collection blinds

which are made cards by smods

[broken rivet]

wait huh

it creates them as cards???

[broken rivet]

where is this code

oh it's in src/overrides 😭

[cloud wraith]

Yo guys!!! I need help!! Yall know how can I change normal binds (small, medium) to random boss binds? I wanna do a joker inverse to the luchador kinda thing where when you sell the joker the next ante is just boss binds for x2 money. Help will be super appreciated! Thxs!!

[wintry solar]

With a lot of patching

[cloud wraith]

Wat that mean

If u can explain id love to thxs

[gilded blaze]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#whats-a-patch

[sturdy compass]

https://youtu.be/aHL6DVQFww8?si=wQujOaNBS9OuHGNN

[fading rivet]

painfully
balatros blind code is incredibly hard coded

the most important file to mess with is gonna be functions/state_events.lua

[cloud wraith]

That dictates every 3 rounds a random boss blind?

[fading rivet]

that file handles changing game states, which includes generating the boss blinds, and switching the current blind

[cloud wraith]

Alright so is just messing with that for the current ante?

[slim ferry]

theres also some jank with ante changes

since the game is hardcoded somewhere to always reset blinds and increase ante after a boss

[fading rivet]

yeah

that and putting blinds where they shouldn't be also leads to skipping them

[wintry solar]

There’s also a load of save stuff you need to account for

[past spade]

do deck backs have draw functions like jokers, or some equivalent? trying to apply a shader to one

[ivory field]

how do i get started in modding

[red flower]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod
https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade/wiki#how-do-i-start-making-balatro-mods

and https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1486847115127947374

[frosty rampart]

not really, the deck "sprite" is actually literally just a playing card from the deck that's face down
you'd probably want to use a custom SMODS.DrawStep to draw the shader if it's a playing card that's currently face down

[cinder elk]

i know Joker Forge isn't exactly actual mod dev but im still very happy with the results

[rare minnow]

How would I make a joker shrink hand size?

[keen totem]

https://github.com/nh6574/VanillaRemade
by checking this and knowing what vanilla content uses a similar system, you can do most simple stuff very easily

[rare minnow]

thanks

[keen totem]

looking at it
G.hand:change_size(-1)

for -1 hand size

[rare minnow]

thank you

[keen totem]

can you ban things from existing challenges or do mods and challenges just not really work well together?

[frosty rampart]

you can probably take ownership of vanilla challenges

[silk latch]

how do you make a boss blind debuff multiple ranks?
because

    debuff = { value = '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '8', '7', '9', '10' },

isn't working

[frosty rampart]

you can't use that debuff shortcut, you'll have to use the blind's calculate function

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
  if not blind.disabled then
    if context.debuff_card then
      local rank = context.debuff_card:get_id() -- context.debuff_card is itself a card object being checked to see if it should be debuffed
      if rank == 2 or rank == 3 or ... then -- i'm sure there's a more efficient way to do this but i don't feel like figuring it out lol
        return { debuff = true }
      end
    end
  end
end

[silk latch]

Do score, xscore, blind_size, and xblind_size returns just not work when called by blinds???

[bold eagle]

how would i remove a joker from the judgement pool?

like

using the in_pool in the SMODS.Joker

[silk latch]

And also this

[silk latch]

And here's the calculate function for each, which just don't do anything for some fucking reason help

wait I used my reflect card on a 4 and it didn't apply the xblindsize

I think it might just not work at all for some reason????

in the latest version of smods

[daring fern]

You can't return effects in events.

[silk latch]

that doesn't explain regen not working

I think they may have just broken the effects too? My Reflect consumable was working perfectly fine before I updated and now it just does nothing

[silk latch]

Even after pulling it out it doesn't work

[bold eagle]

nevermind

[daring fern]

Code?

[daring fern]

It's still in an event.

[silk latch]

that doesn't explain why regen doesn't work though

[silk latch]

Tried to fix it and now it softlocks

[idle plaza]

Events softlock when they don't return true. That's happening in the event that used to hold the return score value. When it was there, it was close enough to return true as far as Balatro's event code was concerned.

[silk latch]

I put the normal return true back where I had moved the return score from and IT STILL DOESN'T FUCKING WORK

[idle plaza]

I think you should use context.before instead of context.press_play here. The issue with your current method is that you only increase your numberofthings in an event, which is ran after your return. If you use context.before instead, you can loop through context.full_hand outside of an event to juice the cards. You can also just use #context.full_hand in your return, instead of manually re-counting the cards in numberofthings.

[silk latch]

so then something like this?

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.before then
                for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.play.cards[i]:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end,
                    }))
                    numberofthings = numberofthings + 1
                    delay(0.23)
                end
                return {
                    blindsize = math.floor((get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante) * 0.1)) * numberofthings
                }
            end
        end
    end

[idle plaza]

Kinda. It's better to use context.full_hand in place of G.play.cards. In addition, #context.full_hand/#G.play.cards is already the number of all played cards, so you don't need your own count of numberofthings at all.

As-is, you'll crash just because you don't set any starting amount for numberofthings before increasing it, it's easier and more efficient to just do without entirely.

[silk latch]

oh i forgot to finish getting rid of that lol
so just

calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.before then
                for i = 1, #G.play.cards do
                    G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                        func = function()
                            G.play.cards[i]:juice_up()
                            return true
                        end,
                    }))
                    delay(0.23)
                end
                return {
                    blindsize = math.floor((get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante) * 0.1)) * #G.play.cards
                }
            end
        end
    end

[idle plaza]

Yeah that'll work

(Probably)

[silk latch]

okay cool it does

now just to figure out why Regeneration isn't working

SMODS.Blind {
    key = "regen",
    atlas = 'mannpowerblind',
    pos = {
        y = 5
    },
    boss = { min = 4 },
    config = {
        blind_mod = 0.25,
    },
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {
            vars = {
                number_format(lenient_bignum((get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante) * 0.25))),
            },
        }
    end,
    collection_loc_vars = function(self)
        return {
            vars = {
                "(" .. number_format(0.25) .. "X base)",
            },
        }
    end,
    boss_colour = HEX("ED712B"),
    calculate = function(self, blind, context)
        if not blind.disabled then
            if context.after then
                return {
                    score = get_blind_amount(G.GAME.round_resets.ante) * -0.25,
                }
            end
            if G.GAME.chips < 0 then
                return {
                    score = G.GAME.chips * -1,
                }
            end
        end
    end
}

because by all means it should work

It sends the message but doesn't actually lower the score

[idle plaza]

When happens if you remove the if G.GAME.chips < 0 then half of the calculate function?

Because it's outside of a specific context, it'll be repeatedly and sporadically checked, and may immediately override the initial score decrease. I don't know for sure if it's the issue (as it sounds like the score just isn't decreasing at all from the context.after part), but it's likely an issue.

[uneven drift]

SMODS.ObjectType({
object_type = "ObjectType",
key = "goob",
weight = 10,
default = "j_goob_Petyr",
get_weight = function(self)
if next(SMODS.find_card("j_goob_Boblin")) then
return self.weight * 1.25
elseif not next(SMODS.find_card("j_goob_Boblin")) then
return self.weight
end
end,
cards = {}
})
this would be painstaking to debug, but I did correctly make it so if I have joker "j_goob_Boblin", "goob" type objects are 25% more likely to show up right?

the object type works correctly I already know that from another joker I just added weight and get_weight

[rapid stag]

G.GAME.banned_keys.item_key_here = true

[silk latch]

I did that but it's still not working properly???

[uneven drift]

I guess to debug it I could just make the number 9000% lol

tho I'd probably wanna put the increased weight clause in calculate

tho, guess theres no point really

aside from that one cryptid card maybe? im not sure how that interacts with debuffed cards

hmm

I mean it would be funny if I dont know this is working

Boblin IS supposed to be a meme, after all

[zenith quarry]

someone please help ive tried abunch of stuff and im trying to make a deck that only lets legendary jokers spawn like in rarrans video i cant figure it out SMODS.Back{ key = 'LG', atlas = 'LG', pos = {x = 0, y = 0}, config = { }, apply = function(self) end } https://youtu.be/R_uCfxzwSK0?si=XjU2X-E1uPz1-gfM

[daring fern]

local oldgetcurrentpool = get_current_pool
function get_current_pool(_type, _rarity, _legendary, _append)
    if _type == 'Joker' and G.GAME.selected_back and G.GAME.selected_back.effect.center.key == 'b_modprefix_key' then
        _legendary = true
    end
    return oldgetcurrentpool(_type, _rarity, _legendary, _append)
end

[uneven drift]

something did I do my implementation right or no

[zenith quarry]

ill try it out

do i just put that in the apply

?

[daring fern]

SMODS.ObjectTypes don't have get_weight

[uneven drift]

ah

[daring fern]

No, you would put it outside of the SMODS.Back definition.

[zenith quarry]

oh ok

so can i get rid of the function

[daring fern]

Yes.

[zenith quarry]

that didnt work

[uneven drift]

but it does have a weight value?

hmm

[zenith quarry]

@daring fern i tried that could and nothing happened

[daring fern]

Code?

[zenith quarry]

yeah it didnt work\

[uneven drift]

The easy implementation would just be make every joker have a weight and have a get_weight for boblin checking

eh fuck it im lazy

and also, its boblin

Stupid implementations make sense

hmm, dont know if that worked

:/

gonna implement this a little differently then just affecting weight

[daring fern]

Yes, I need to see the code to see what the problem is.

[silk latch]

Like this is just weird because sometimes it lowers the score a bit but not always and it doesn't do the right amount.

[rare minnow]

So I'm trying to make it so every 2 gives +14 mult, but it wont work. doesn't crash, just wont work.

[mystic river]

context.repetition is for calculating retriggers

[idle plaza]

Not the main issue, but this will help: Use G.GAME.blind.chips to get the actual score requirement of the blind. The function get_blind_amount(ante) only gets the base requirement, AKA the small blind requirement.

[idle plaza]

Oh, wait, the actual issue is this: context.after is after all scoring is completed, and disallows any further scoring. You want context.final_scoring_step instead.

[rare minnow]

thanks

[uneven drift]

y'know this is way too annoying so im just gonna give boblin one of the other effects I was thinking about

[lyric wadi]

chat any ideas why pseudoshuffle is failing?
card.ability.extra.unrevealedindex is just a list of the number 1 to 45

[silk latch]

Cool.
Now the only thing left to fix is the Reflect consumable that broke when I updated SMODS for some reason (it gives a playing card X0.95 Blind Size)

And, moreover, worked completely fine before updating

[daring fern]

1606b makes it so card.ability.perma_x_blind_size starts at 0 instead of 1

[silk latch]

Oh.

So then I just update it to

        for i = 1, #G.hand.highlighted do
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                trigger = 'after',
                delay = 0.1,
                func = function()
                    local _card = G.hand.cards[i]
                      if G.hand.highlighted[i].ability.perma_x_blind_size == 0 then
                        G.hand.highlighted[i].ability.perma_x_blind_size = card.ability.extra
                            else
                    G.hand.highlighted[i].ability.perma_x_blind_size = (G.hand.highlighted[i].ability.perma_x_blind_size or 1) *
                        card.ability.extra
                            end
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end

?

[daring fern]

No, it would be G.hand.highlighted[i].ability.perma_x_blind_size = ((G.hand.highlighted[i].ability.perma_x_blind_size+1)*card.ability.extra)-1

[silk latch]

Wouldn't that cause a starting value of 0 to become -0.05x Blind size, thus instantly making the blind size negative when played?

(0 + 1)*0.95 - 1

[uneven drift]

after implementing that joker I have a better lengthier idea that shouldnt be undoable 🔥

however, im coded out for today

[daring fern]

No, because it adds 1

[silk latch]

It then subtracts 1

(blind_size + 1)*0.95 - 1

(0 + 1)*0.95 - 1
1*0.95 - 1
0.95 - 1
-0.05

[daring fern]

No, I mean Card:get_bonus_x_blind_size adds 1 to card.ability.perma_x_blind_size

[silk latch]

Oh

That's fucking weird

I assume it's just to keep shit like Cryptid's Glitched edition from affecting it

[daring fern]

No, it's to keep it consistent with the other perma-bonuses.

[lyric wadi]

bump?

[daring fern]

It's because pseudoshuffle doesn't check if list[1] is a table before checking if list[1].sort_id exists.

[lyric wadi]

ok then i dont understand how its implemented

like is list in this case not just the input list? if so why would it check that the first element is a table

it worked perfectly fine shuffling a list of strings, so why does it fail when it's a list of numbers?

[daring fern]

Because strings can be indexed, but numbers can't.

[lyric wadi]

what the fuck

so how do i fix this?

do i have to make it not a list of number?

[lyric wadi]

how to i check for skipping the small blind specifically? like i want it to trigger when skipping small blind but not big blind

i know theres a context for skipping blind and there's a global var for skips that throwback uses

[fading rivet]

where should my localization entry be for providing a key to the saved return in game_over

[daring fern]

if G.GAME.blind_on_deck == 'Big'

[lyric wadi]

so like if i put that in the skip check it'd mean you skipped from small to big?

and if you skipped big G.GAME.blind_on_deck would return boss instead?

is that how it works?

[keen totem]

is it possible to set the scalar_value of an SMODS.scale_card call to a local variable, instead of pulling it from a table?

[fading rivet]

just set scalar_table to a local variable

like

scalar_table = {val},
scalar_value = 1

[keen totem]

scalar_table = {points},
scalar_value = 1

so would this tell it to use the first value from that table?

[fading rivet]

yeah

[keen totem]

alright

[daring fern]

Yes, but you should set operation as a function instead.

[keen totem]

why?

i just need to use a value thats not in a table as the scalar_value

what does .getting_sliced mean?

i was looking at something in vanillaRemade and it says that you should set it to true for cards that are being destroyed

[lyric wadi]

thats specifically for Ceremonial Dagger i think

basically you're just giving the card a flag that you can check for later

[daring fern]

It makes it so the card cannot calculate in almost every context.

[wanton jolt]

i'm sure context.joker_type_destroyed bypasses that

[silk latch]

I assume it's used for the dagger/madness?

[rigid solar]

it's for all joker destruction effects im pretty sure

that'd include ankh and hex for example, but yeah dagger and madness

[fading rivet]

[hearty lagoon]

Is there a way to modify the bonus an enhanced card gives? For instance i want to make a joker that makes bonus cards score x1.5 chips instead of +30 chips

[gilded blaze]

take ownership of Bonus

SMODS.Enhancement:take_ownership("bonus", {
    config = {bonus = 30, xchips = 1.5},
    update = function(self, card, dt)
        if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then
            if not card.ability.old_bonus then
                card.ability.old_bonus = card.ability.bonus
            end
            card.ability.bonus = 0
        elseif card.ability.old_bonus then
            card.ability.bonus = card.ability.old_bonus
            card.ability.old_bonus = nil
        end
    end,
    calculate = function(self, card, context)
        if context.main_scoring and context.cardarea == G.play then
            if next(SMODS.find_card("j_modprefix_key")) then
                return {
                    xchips = card.ability.xchips,
                }
            end
        end
    end,
})

do you need explanations for the snippet

[hearty lagoon]

the only question i have for the moment is if put the snippet inside SMODS.Joker{} or elsewhere

[gilded blaze]

put it anywhere but inside another SMODS.GameObject

it's fully complete, there's no need to modify it in any way

[hearty lagoon]

right, tysm

[gilded blaze]

just replace j_modprefix_key with whatever your joker key is

that's obvious tho

[hearty lagoon]

yeah

anything that i should keep in mind or be careful about?

[gilded blaze]

it's Cryptid-proof
meaning any value manipulation to card.ability.bonus is temporarily stored as card.ability.old_bonus

[normal crest]

Won't old bonus immediately be set to 0 after 2 frames of having the joker

[gilded blaze]

no

elseif won't run if the previous condition is satisfied

[normal crest]

Yes but the first branch always sets old bonus to bonus

Which becomes 0

[gilded blaze]

ah

😭

[hearty lagoon]

i was just testing that lol

[gilded blaze]

alr, fixed

[hearty lagoon]

previously scored bonus dont score the old one

[gilded blaze]

man, that slipped under the radar because I didn't test it myself

wait

man, this sucks

I should be more careful when updating something every frame

now it should work

[fading rivet]

thx

[median veldt]

i know that cryptid lets you manupilate joker values

but how do u Set them

[fading rivet]

wdym

like in general

or do you have a specific target in mind

[median veldt]

Setting them all to the number 3

[fading rivet]

for key, value in pairs(card.ability.extra) do
  if type(value) == "number" then
    card.ability.extra[key] = 3
  end
end

note this will only affected modded cards iirc

vanilla stores their stuff in card.ability

[median veldt]

I also used to do that.

I could iterate through both?

[fading rivet]

also the number check isn't explicitly needed but will stop crashes caused by setting stuff like suits to 3

[fading rivet]

better to hardcode vanilla

[median veldt]

Mm.

I see.

[fading rivet]

iirc all vanilla jokers are defined in game.lua

[grand junco]

question. Does anyone know how to take a high quality picture and resize to fit the tarot cards? I'm asking for a personal mod I'm making for myself

got an image size of 800X1582

[fading rivet]

set the atlas your file dimensions

71x95 is recommended for stylistic consistency, along with being at the correct aspect ratio, but anything works

I have a card that's 142x190 in mine

[grand junco]

so theortically could half the size of my current file work?

or something like 200px wide?

[fading rivet]

anything positive will work

[grand junco]

OK, thank you I've been struggling with this for a while

[fading rivet]

the way the game works (from what I've observed I havent actually looked into this)
is that it draws the entire atlas on the screen, scales it down based on the size you told it the cards where, and the crops out the excess

[grand junco]

good to know, thought i had to resize those large images into tiny proportions

[uneven drift]

how do I make a variable for G.Game, im trying to make a michel/cavendish relationship where it is saved whether or not a joker got destroyed

[fading rivet]

so you uh
