graceful storm
#

i finally got a consumable working without crashing but

#

thats... not supposed to happen LMAO

#

i can only drag it around

#

ill figure it out later i gotta go to an appointment

maiden phoenix
#

If you only call create_card it doesn't emplace it

graceful storm
#

ahh

#

do i place it in the use or can_use

maiden phoenix
#

Show your code?

#

the use code

graceful storm
#

appointment

#

gotta do stuff

maiden phoenix
#

Ah you already went ok

#

mb lol

graceful storm
#

yeah

#

ur good

#

how could I get a UIElements ref table in its related shaders send_vars?
also is it possible to disable to offset on text inputs

silent sail
#

how would i dynamically change the colours of text? ive got a thing that puts cards into the descrioption and i wanted the colour to be the suit of the card but it just displays {C:spades}A{} for example

frosty dock
silent sail
#

thanking you

#

does anyone know if there are symbols for suits that work in descriptions?

frosty dock
#

though you can also use {element:} controls to insert sprites now

silent sail
#

ooh

#

interestiung

#

is there a smods page for that?

frosty dock

#

oh gas

#

how could i get an enhancement to make a card be every rank at once?

#

graahh

#

how do i make a seal that generates a consumable if its the only card scored

slate turtle

#

making cards able to count as multiple ranks is a huge endeavour with dire implications

draw_card(G.deck, G.discard) always discards the top card of the deck no matter what. Is there a way to discard only those cards in deck that meet a given criterion?

red flower
#

the sixth argument of draw_card is the card to draw

#

i love functions with 11 arguments

slate turtle
#

how does one make pop ups like this

#

In loc_vars, there should be a variable infoqueue (or something similar); add to the table an item from G.P_CENTERS

#

Example: table.insert(infoqueue, G.P_CENTERS[item_key])

silent sail
#

ive definately messed this up

to be fair it's not objectively stupid but i don't like the semantics surrounding it

torn thunder
#

versed swan
#

it's not immediately obvious that table[#table+1] is an insertion - but table.insert is in-your-face obvious

torn thunder
#

it's immediately obvious if you know the language

#

i wouldn't be surprised if table.insert was actually slower too

versed swan
#

and when modding a game that coined the term thunkism, i think having clear and readable code that minimizes code sugar is really important

versed swan
rigid solar
#

Bruh

torn thunder
#

objective reasoning for using table[#table + 1]

versed swan
#

as in, implementation is important before optimization

torn thunder
torn thunder

#

Having good readable code is one thing
Saying a basic feature from the language is stupid is something else
And optimization is always good especially when it's that simple

#

question

#

whats the prefix for stickers

#

is it just m

#

like all other modifiers

#

?

wanton jolt
versed swan

red flower
slate turtle
red flower
#

yes

rigid solar
#

So seals and stickers both have no prefix? Awesome mr_bones

red flower
#

yeah

#

they wont collide in any place that matters

versed swan
slate turtle
#

question
in what part of a mod are the prefixes added
for instance, curses for ortalab
and hexes for grab bag
they probably have custom prefixes
so where can they be found

#

?

red flower
#

i didnt understand why the conversation was so aggro

image.png
fading rivet
#

or the creator sets up something to do it for them

red flower
slate turtle

slate turtle
#

gimmie a sec

#

found it

#

the prefix for hexes are hex_

#

just letting this info out for anyone who needs it

slate turtle
#

you have to put it at the end

#

modid_id_hex

#

i'm about to lose it

#

how can i make my mod modify another file

#

😭

#

(from another mod, of course)

#

hi! im triying to make a joker that gives +300 score at the end of scoring but i dont know why its not working

red flower
#

context.final_scoring_step

#

after is after scoring, so a bit too late

#

although i dont know if that applies to score, make sure to have updated smods too

frosty dock
#

you can score in context.after

#

it's likely outdated smods

silent sail
#

does anyone know if theres any symbols for suits that work in balatro?

red flower
#

i didnt found any when i tried in the vanilla fonts if thats what you're asking

fading rivet
#

when its a base feature, you are expected to know what it means

#

sure to someone random its not as readable, but they arentnthe target audiance

knotty wren
#

is there a way for this to not happen qwq?

it's not something you'd find in some "How to use Lua" guide

fading rivet
#

this is not readable

versed swan
#

(or at least the few Lua handbooks I've used don't remark it)

fading rivet
#

but any python programer should know what it does

fading rivet
#

what

#

thats like everythinf

#

and also it intuitively makes since

versed swan
#

yeah idk how to refute that nvm

versed swan
fading rivet
#

splicing is helpful

timid zinc
#

in c instead of doing array[index] do (array+index)*

#

instead of fried insertion, used grilled insertion

fading rivet
fading rivet
timid zinc
#

i mean i think table[#table+1] is pretty obvious

#

it only works in lua i think tho because of 1dexing

versed swan
#

i think you can do that in js too?

#

just don't add +1

versed swan
fading rivet
#

but it'll frick things up

#

since array.push does some other stuff

versed swan
fading rivet
#

I still haven't really learned lua

versed swan
#

that's fair

solemn wharf
fading rivet
#

legit the only thing I've looked up is metatables lol

slim ferry
fading rivet
#

everything has either been assumptions or looking at mod code

slim ferry
#

so it doesnt really matter

#

table.insert is only very slightly slower but its so insignificant that 99.9% of the time that wont matter

mystic river
#

table.insert isn't "for" appending, it's for inserting
but also it doesn't matter what it's "for"

versed swan
#

...ah

red flower
#

i dont like the overload in table.insert

slim ferry
#

the huh

red flower
#

like one is table, value and the other table, index, value

timid zinc
#

overload when a function has multiple functions depending on

#

arguments

#

yeah

slim ferry
#

oh

#

evil

timid zinc
#

it's mostly a C++ thing

slim ferry
#

i mean i guess math.random also does it i think but i think it isnt as bad there

timid zinc
#

though you can recreate it in other languages

versed swan
timid zinc
#

C++, not C

versed swan
#

which is why i almost never use it for between-insertion

#

(actually it's because I almost never need to)

wintry solar
#

You do between insertion manually?

red flower
versed swan
slim ferry
#

genuinely dont think i have ever needed between insertion

red flower
#

i have for ui : )

#

oh wait yeah im beginning to remember

#

I literally did so for bumpscosity

#

I legit had to google what's bumpscosity

Now i feel like a total dumbass

needs more bumpscosity

gusty compass
#

what context would i have to use to detect whether a joker has moved positions?

red flower
#

there isn't one for that

#

you would need to make one, i think Node.stop_drag is the function for it iirc

gusty compass
#

i recall seeing something that lets me create a custom context but i dont remember where

red flower
slate turtle
#

why is it not doing that

sticker works mostly, but it seems to have a few issues:

  • if a joker stencil has the sticker + there are 4/5 slots filled, the burdened sticker reduces it to 0X
  • negatives spawn with this sticker somehow
  • as does riffraff and judgements and other joker summoning cards/jokers
📎 stickers.lua
#

@frosty rampart u helped make this sticker iirc, could u help me with this if thats oke

frosty rampart
#

I'm out and about for most of the afternoon/evening unfortunately, but I'll take a look when I'm free

viscid talon
#

thats oke

slate turtle
#

uh

#

its just SMODS.sticker iirc

viscid talon
#

ill ask potato patch for help in the meantime

heavy elm
#

i'm being told that "reset" on SMODS.debuff_card() is deprecated but what is the equivalent that i'm supposed to use now? i want debuffs to be removed regardless of where the debuff came from

red flower
rigid solar
#

yesn't, i've noticed that sometimes the order you acquire stuff matters??
like, i have a joker that debuffs everything but 7s and one that prevents red sealed cards to be debuff. If I get the first one before the second, sometimes red seals will stay debuffed, it's kinda whack

heavy elm
red flower
#

then you need to empty the table debuff_card uses, but thats bad practice

#

i think the idea is that if a card has a debuff from a source you shouldnt be able to remove it

#

because then it becomes an arms race

#

i would just stick to reset for now

heavy elm
#

can you have a card get debuffed without a source or does that also cause problems?

red flower
#

not with that function

#

you can with context.debuff_card

#

or setting card.debuff and calling recalc_debuff on it iirc

#

there are like 5 ways to debuff

heavy elm
#

i'm about to throw hands with debuffing mechanics icl

#

but thanks for the help

red flower
#

yeah i usually avoid it lol

#

i found SMODS.current_mod.set_debuff to be the nicest imo

rigid solar
#

that's what i've been using too, i just put all my debuff stuff there so it's easy to manage

heavy elm
#

i did a lot of the abilities and stuff before knowing how annoying debuffs are which is for sure on me but we're here now i guess

keen totem
#

what does the (next(context.card_effects[1]) or #context.card_effects > 1) check in the vremade for Mime actually do?

#

i assume its a check for whether or not the card has held in hand effects?

slim ferry
#

it checks if the card actually triggered any effects yeah

#

How would I get a Joker's description as a singular string?

daring fern
viscid talon
#

i rly need to find a way to disable negatives

#

uuugegeghhh

red flower
#

why not

viscid talon
#

negative burdened jokers kinda fuck things up

#

they basically remove the whole point of negatives with them

#

for example with the above screenshot, i would not be able to afford empty crown because it goes from 0 slots to 1 slot

#

making it impossible to purchase

#

so yeah

#

how do i exclude negatives from having the burdened sticker

mystic river
#

in the sticker's should_apply, check whether the card is negative and if so return false

red flower
#

a card that becomes negative after would still work

mystic river
#

note that running a should_apply function will override anything like a rate or necessary game flag in the sticker definition

#

so you'll need to manually check that if you don't already

viscid talon
#

it doesnt work

image.png
viscid talon
#

im guessing i do an "if card = e.negative" or?

#

idk

mystic river
#

yeah in that case just check card.edition and card.edition.negative and return false if it is

viscid talon
#

would local negative_check = not card.edition.negative work?

#

return default_check and shop_check and negative_check (making sure to add this)

daring fern
viscid talon
#

welp it crashed

image.png
mystic river
viscid talon
#

the other two checks work fine

mystic river
#

no fucking idea, you're checking for something that hasn't happened yet

#

hmm okay

viscid talon

im looking at the vremade wiki and im still unsure how id hook card:set_edition

zenith quarry
#

anyone know a better way to do exponential mult return { mult = -G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.mult + (G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.mult ^ 2) }

viscid talon
#

what are you trying to calcluate here exactly

zenith quarry
#

current mult squared

#

^2

viscid talon
#

could you not just do

if context.joker_main then
    return {
      emult = G.GAME.current_round.current_hand.mult ^ 2
    }
  end
end

?

#

idk i may be wrong

daring fern
zenith quarry
#

is emult a thing

viscid talon
#

no idea im gonna be honest

slim ferry
#

Would be emult = 2 but thats also an amulet/spectrallib addition

#

Not a base thing

viscid talon
#

anyways fuck it

#

im giving up

#

ill let negatives keep the burdened sticker

#

the odds of finding a negative with a burdened sticker is quite rare without a tag anyways + i feel like theres no real way i can fix it

zenith quarry
viscid talon
#

not within my own means at least

#

it makes all your playing cards glass but u have an eternal negative oops all 67s

#

the glass thing works fine but

when u get the oops all 6s its 1/6 joker slots for a second and then goes to 1/5 even though its negative

`SMODS.Back({

            local j = add_joker("j_oops_all_6s", nil, true)

            if j then
                j:set_eternal(true)
                j:set_edition("e_negative")
            end

            -- everything is GLASS
            for _, card in ipairs(G.playing_cards or {}) do

Just change starting size of jokers area instead of doing that?

latent perch
slim ferry
#

which... is a benefit..

#

😱

subtle hawk
slim ferry
#

idk

#

probably just most challenges in vanilla use negative instead of adding a joker slot

forest cobalt
#

I don't know a lot about changing joker slots honestly cause im dumb

#

so I just use negative joker instead since I recall some challenge decks doing that

#

but come to think of it it probably isn't even that hard

#

since black deck and painted deck already change deck size

#

I mean joker size

slim ferry
#

yeah its like some value in G.GAME.starting_params you can modify for decks

#

i forget what its called but probably just joker_slots

subtle hawk
forest cobalt
#

visually speaking tho it just looks better cause it's easier to know you have 5 slots besides the dice

how would i generate a card of the same type that a specific booster pack generates?

#

calling the booster's create_card is the easiest way

although modded boosters don't necessarily have a type

nor do vanilla under some circumstances

if this is in context.skipping_booster(), would i do context.booster.create_card()?

            v.key = "UNAVAILABLE"

I have a lovely-patch (position -> "at") that has the pattern if score == 'defeated_by' then, but I also need to replace elseif score...
How would I go about doing that (without copy pasting the entire patch with the slight pattern difference)? ^w^

rigid solar
#

copy paste the entire patch with the slight pattern difference

#

afaik a patch can only have 1 target, so if you need the same payload on 2 different targets you need to do 2 patches

red flower
#

you can have a regex patch

#

i dont think theres a problem with copypasting the patch tho

rigid solar
#

ah yeah there's regex, but regex is annoyinh

hidden notch
#

I was just hoping that there might've been a, uh, prettier way than copy pasting it lewxen_Teary_Laugh

red flower
#

regex is the prettier way

hidden notch
#

-# And also not regexing it since it's not the fastest x3
But I guess I'll regex it then owo'

rigid solar
#

and i assume you'd want to replace a if by a if and a elseif by a elseif, which uh idk if you can do conditional payloads like that lol

red flower
#

that i dont know

#

i think you can have capture groups

hidden notch
#

If it's an if it was unpatched, if it's an elseif another mod (Wormhole) has already patched it owo

red flower
#

i think wormhole should be deleted

rigid solar
red flower
#

jokers aside personally i dont like changing syntax when i patch, i try to make it respect the original to not break other mods

#

i love my balatro minded autocorrect

hidden notch
#

Yeah, I usually\¹ do the same.. In this case I just bite the bullet to stay compatible with Wormhole... It's my own fault¹ really lol x3
-# ¹ because I made the stupid decision to ignore this rule for wormhole o3o

rigid solar
#

0/10 autocorrect

hidden notch
#

Actually, I have a better Idea, Thanks N' for the inspo x3

actually probably not because the payload is also different

i'm having people getting vanilla jokers they unlocked, relocked when installing my mod

i don't understand how this can happen since there's nothing i'm doing to change that

Nope you're back, not seen you in a while

rapid stag
#

i've been taking a break from working on my mod after i finally released the new update a few days ago

primal robin
#

that's good decision

rapid stag
#

the only thing i can think of that could cause people to have their vanilla jokers being relocked is that i'm making new tables in the profile

wintry solar
#

what type of tables

rapid stag
#

this is called at the end of both a Game:main_menu hook & a Game:load_profile hook, after the original function call

notepad_ryk8LhkuRX.png
#

this is the only thing i could think of that's causing people's jokers to relock

wintry solar
#

doesn't look like you touch any of the actual save data here

rapid stag
#

i don't touch it anywhere. hence my confusion

#

this is the closest it gets

#

i've looked over my entire codebase, looked through my patches, nothing should be causing that to happen

graceful storm
#

i may be asking a dumb question (mainly cause idk) but

is there any way to track the last destroyed joker cause im trying to detect what joker was destroyed so i can spawn something else in its place

red flower
#

use your mod's global calculate function to save the key of that joker during context.joker_type_destroyed

graceful storm
#

and how would i do that

#

(once again, new so idk)

red flower
#

just to make sure before i explain, you need to keep track of what the last joker destroyed was right

graceful storm
#

yes

#

so the reason i need to keep track of it is to see what rarity was destroyed so i can replace it with a random joker of higher rarity

frosty dock
#

im trying to detect what joker was destroyed so i can spawn something else in its place
this doesn't sound like you actually need to keep track of it

red flower
#

that's why i asked again lol

red flower
#

the joker's? another joker?

graceful storm
#

its a consumable

#

i should've prolly mentioned that too

#

basically how its set up rn is
select joker > destroy it > place new joker of higher rarity

frosty dock
#

then you already know what joker is being destroyed...?

#

it's the one you selected

graceful storm
#

you'd think that

frosty dock
#

i very much would

graceful storm
#

but when i try that it just

red flower
#

😭

graceful storm
#

doesnt work?

frosty dock
#

just save its rarity to a local variable before(!) destroying it

graceful storm
#

oh ok

frosty dock
#

obviously once you've destroyed it, it's gone

graceful storm
#

yeye

frosty dock
#

-# also just so you know, "doesn't work" isn't an adequate error description 100% of the time

graceful storm
#

welp time to stare at more words

#

mb!

#

i mean it crashes when it tries to locate the joker

#

or identify it rather

frosty dock
#

yeah that's way too vague

#

I'd have to see some code if you want help with that

red flower
graceful storm
#

ok ill describe it as best i can cause i only have the current code which works on a technicallity (it just checks the selected joker's rarity, spawns a joker, then dissolves it)

#

(but that causes issues since if the joker slots are full it just doesn't spawn the replacement joker)

red flower

Hey everyone, I am trying to make a boss blind that disables a Joker immediately after it triggers.
When putting the debuff function into context.post_trigger it works, but visually the Joker is debuffed immediately when the hand is played, instead of having it visually be disabled at the point where it triggers, meanwhile putting it into an event in context.post_trigger debuffs it at too late of a point. Any ideas?

no idea, the docs imply that it can be

frosty dock
#

I don't think so but maybe I'm misremembering

fading rivet
#

im pretty sure it cant
the ui code for card descriptions has card.ability.perma_bonus > 0 and card.ability.perma_bonus or nil iirc

red flower
#

yeah it seems to not be

if it could be nil there would likely be constant crashijg

oh did you see i merged the localize docs

yep, ty

#

idk lua and ive never made any mods before or anything

#

ik the file names and stuff but

#

idk the local thing or whatever

i cant see anything abt it on that site :/

i dont get it

#

why would i need to do that

#

i just have this atm

image.png
red flower
#

didnt you want to change the name of the hand?

gilded hamlet
#

yea

red flower
#

you need to change the english translation for that basically

gilded hamlet
#

oh

red flower
#

(well its not a translation but you know what i mean)

gilded hamlet
#

where do i put the localisation part then

#

i know absolutely nothing about lua sorry

red flower
#

localization/en-us.lua

gilded hamlet
#

but where is that

#

im confused

red flower
#

you create it in that folder

gilded hamlet
#

oh

#

within the folder of the mod im making?

red flower
#

yeah

gilded hamlet
red flower
#

the code i gave you

gilded hamlet
#

ohhh

#

i thought that was supposed to be in its own lua file

#

im sorry

#

does it need a regular lua file or no

#

and does the metadata,json thing need to direct it towards the en-us.lua file

red flower
#

it's just a text file with the .lua extension

gilded hamlet
#

oh ok ty

#

sry again

#

never done this stuff before

red flower
#

i think

#

i never made a localization only mod lol

frosty dock
#

I'd think there's already a main file

#

but yeah it'd be empty if you just do localization strings

gilded hamlet
#

ok thank you

#

yaaay ty

image.png
#

im gonna make a cute icon for it in the modloader

#

for the 1x and 2x textures, when are 1x textures used?

#

is it if ur playing on 720p or whatever

#

cuz i see a lot of things focusing on 2x textures, or just only having 2x textures

red flower
#

if you have pixel smoothing off

#

you need both because it will crash if the player has the other pixel smoothing option

wispy falcon
gilded hamlet
#

i made a 1x and 2x icon for the mod

#

how do i get it to show up

#

i have an assets folder with a 1x and 2x folder inside, and both are saved as "icon.png"

#

like the other mods that have it

#

ive looked inside of the other mods but cant rly find anything indicating how to do it

rigid solar
#

you need to make an atlas for it

gilded hamlet
rigid solar
gilded hamlet
#

in the main file?

rigid solar
#

sure

gilded hamlet
#

ok ty

gilded hamlet
#

cuz i made two

#

and theyre in the 1x and 2x folder in the assets folder

rigid solar
#

it'll do both

#

dw it knows where to get them

gilded hamlet
#

do i need to put 32 still

rigid solar
#

yes

#

well

#

you put whatever the size of your icon at x1 is

#

but in theory it should be 32 by 32

gilded hamlet
#

oh

#

well yea the 64x64 icon has styalized 2x2 pixels

#

so the base one is 32

#

tysm

#

yaaay it works tysm

image.png
red flower
#

this will also show the icon when the mod is unloaded

gilded hamlet
#

ik what i did is basic and pointless and meaningless but i kinda want to learn some lua and make cool mods cuz pixel art and card game stuff is rly cool

#

and i heard that lua is relatively easy compared to other programming languages

red flower
#

yeah i think its a great starting language

lyric wadi
#

was this a recent addition

#

i still have my modicon done with an atlas

red flower
#

yeah its pretty recent

#

most mods i have havent switched yet

which is making me think i need to instead create some sort of variable to store the [1] card, and have the polycrhome edition apply to the [1] card

how do i do that

im guessing i use G.playing.card ?

oh or maybe context.full_hand[1] !!!

Hey, unless if I'm illiterate and haven't read the API properly (which is extremely possible) how do i:

  1. How do i give each joker their own pic using their own pic properly?
  2. how do i do the special font things in the text box?

I've only started programming literally 2 hours ago, I got the joker to exist but idk how to stylize it

hey, ive got a custom deck that starts with 6 cards. all of them are the same custom suit and have each have their own custom rank, and im using a hooked add_to_pool() to filter everything else out. I'm currently trying to add 3 more of each rank to the deck and i can using the apply func on the deck, however im not too fond of how the animation plays adding them after spawning in, is there a way to add them before the run starts or just remove that animation for the add_card()? If not, no worries, i kinda realize this is a specific thing lol

noble gull
#

ohhhh they are all stitched together on a grid

verbal agate
#

oh does that remove the other suits/ranks from the pool too? I'm intentionally doing add_to_pool to remove the base cards from packs and such too

noble gull
#

what no don't listen to me

verbal agate
#

oh i think someone deleted their message ngl

verbal agate
noble gull
#

lol

noble gull
#

I didn't fully know you were supposed to stich them together in one sheet

verbal agate
#

you dont btw

#

you just have to make them all seperate atlases if you dont stitch them

#

i think it is slightly better on the computer tho if you do

noble gull

I would rather try the stitching way because having each picture be it's own thing deeply troubles me

in the code of a joker, i'm trying to grab a joker's name. i have now learned that retrieve_joker_name does not work for my purposes lol

local text = retrieve_joker_name(G.jokers.cards[i])

#

what's the correct way to do that?

tranquil cypress
#

you could do
localize({ type = 'name_text', set = "Joker", key = G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key })
to get their localised name

white zinc
#

would the variable set be the name of the joker then?

tranquil cypress
#

no, if you do local text = localize({ type = 'name_text', set = "Joker", key = G.jokers.cards[i].config.center.key }) , the variable text will be the jokers name

white zinc
#

ah ok

white zinc
#

got it to work, thanks!!

noble gull
#

so question, how do i change the values of values after they have been triggered?

red flower
silk latch
red flower
#

what should it do

#

this will never be true

image.png
#

it should be v.key

#

this will also not be true

image.png
#

because v is the id

#

i would recommend giving the variables better names than k and v to avoid confusion about this stuff

elder wind
#

yo guys whats that mod that when u drag ur cursor over the cards it selects it

silk latch
red flower
#

k is the key v is the value
table[k] = v

#

in this case G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker is integer indexed and holds center prototypes so it's like G.P_CENTER_POOLS.Joker[1] = { key = "j_joker", .......... }

                SMODS.calculate_context({ sink_press = true })
            end
        end

i put this in a return at the end of the jokers.lua
and this

        if context.sink_press then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function()
                    play_sound('sink_bell')
                    return true
                end
            }))
        end
    end```
is the calculate?
red flower
#

that looks correct to me

brittle yacht
#

i also defined the SMODS.sound already

red flower
#

if you add a print to the context does it work

brittle yacht
#

uh lemme check

#

like in the calculate?

red flower
#

yes

can i see the whole file

which one is line 120

silk latch
#

If d.mod.id == v2 iirc

red flower
#

ah yeah not all jokers have a mod field, vanilla ones dont

#

you need to check if it exists first

white zinc
#

if context.card_added or context.joker_type_destroyed or context.selling_card then
the context.selling_card seems to be the only context here that isn't triggering. i'll sell another joker and this joker won't trigger. am i misunderstanding how this context is used?

red flower
#

no it should work

silk latch
red flower
#

i mean the way to remove every vanilla joker would be to check for d.original_mod anyway lol

how can i make symbols that arent typically supported by balatro (such as these "【】") work in joker descriptions and such?

daring fern

i see. i thought it was a balatro limitation, whats the default balatro font?

do i need to provide files with new fonts, and how do i do that?\

or is there a documentation for it i can read

uhhh how can i use G.G.SETTINGS.GAMESPEED to make it 2.5

#

hold up one sec

#

nvm

forest cobalt

thinking I might want to mod wurt into balatro

#

she's the best joker in Don't Starve balatro so now I wanna add her albeit nerfed

analog slate
#

actually how do i add music in balatro

#

like change it

primal robin
#

as stupid as it sounds, is there a way to determine is center can be used to create card?

#

Because, Aiko uses extension of SMODS.Center to create some dummy descriptions, and it's a problem

red flower
primal robin
#

I dont handle decks yet, for editions I have a check

red flower
#

yeah i can't think of a way honestly

primal robin
#

I can create a base card, then set ability of center, if it crashes, discard this

#

there's only way I see so far

red flower
#

i think that makes the modst sense

analog slate
#

is jokerexists() a thing

primal robin
#

of course not

red flower
#

SMODS.find_card?

analog slate
#

oh.. alright then

red flower
#

i think jokerexists is a yahimod thing

analog slate
#

ohhh... what can i do to make a version of it

red flower
#

why would you want to

analog slate
red flower
#

ok use SMODS.find_card

analog slate
#

oh alright

#

does it work with jokers?

primal robin
red flower
#

yes

analog slate
#

dude.. sometimes my jokers are a bit blurry

red flower
#

if next(SMODS.find_card("j_key")) then

red flower
primal robin
#

scrolling technology wins again

#

I'll add same fo info_queue

red flower
#

im planning to do something similar for the keyword glossary in my mod

#

find card works but i want it to be so that the card is in hand then do thing

also javascript is a different language to lua

brisk dune
#

true

#

Wait yeah I got confused

slim ferry
#

and theres also like no point tbh

white zinc
#

how does the draw pile work? when you select a blind, does it determine the order of cards in your draw pile all ahead of time? and if so, how can you access and read those card values? (for example, if i wanted to grab the card 5th from the top of the draw pile?)

frosty dock
white zinc
#

ahh ok cool

frosty dock
#

G.deck.cards[5] would be the 5th from the top, for example

red flower
#

G.deck.cards[#G.deck.cards-4] since it draws from the bottom

white zinc
#

so when the game draws new card after a hand or discard has been used, i assume it just counts how many cards need to be drawn and then add that number from the bottom of the deck to the hand

#

is there a way to edit which cards the game draws when you need to draw? like could you have a specification that it will draw the correct # of cards EXCEPT if one of those cards is a certain rank and then skip that one?

red flower
#

you can just reorder G.deck.cards, you can use context.drawing_cards for the correct timing

white zinc
#

i was looking at that context, seems interesting
