Monitor a moron making his way through making a mediocre mod!
... yeah alliteration's cool, why do you ask
latest commit: https://github.com/iiiaaa123/Misers_Menagerie/tree/main (im probably gonna update it a lot, if i say something's updated and it ain't in this version, tag in so i can edit it)
steep lichen
are you actually using that localization file? it looks like it's just all the strings from the base game
icy parrot
yeah i looked back at it and figured i didnt need all the extra stuff
i pasted it all in just in case but im pretty sure i can cut out all the jokers im not changing and vouchers and such
latest repo fixed that, can you tell if it changed?
steep lichen
only things in there are now are the jokers you changed text for
icy parrot
perfect
btw the jokers don't do anything yet but im working on getting them to work asap
steep lichen
Are you planning on modifying any vanilla jokers or just doing flavor text?
icy parrot
my friend made new sprites for the 3 jokers, i did the sprite for WoF
based on our friend group
icy parrot
well, the new joker's values aren't nil anymore when entering the game, that's a start
seems it doesn't like it when i want to get the id of a card for some reason
steep lichen
What's the context for trying to get an ID?
icy parrot
i've been trying to get vikram to only upgrade for 3s played, not scored
i haven't been doing a good job
i've posted a few times in #💻・modding-dev
icy parrot
for some reason removing 1 "end" makes the same error, but removing both "end"s says i need another end
so i had a useless "end" but the issue isnt fixed by it
icy parrot
yeah i have no clue what could be the unexpected symbol near theline 78 } thing, if any of yall are better coders please tell me what i'm messing up
steep lichen
I didn't test it but try this
icy parrot
oh thanks, it doesn't crash upon start up now! now i just need to figure out how to make the mult raising work
i think theres one too many ifs before checking rank
icy parrot
just tested, while yeah that works, i'm trying to make it so it's every 3 played, not scored (see line 8 of what you sent)
i was told context.before would have helped with that
that's why i put it in
steep lichen
oh, gotcha
steep lichen
I'm currently looking at
icy parrot
just woke up, this seems interesting i'll see what it results in doing
icy parrot
that... is exactly correct code
thank you so much!! :D
and then it shouldn't be that bad to do the other one since he does the same thing, but with Xmult instead of +Mult
steep lichen
ah, sorry, I left the print debug statement
icy parrot
im guessing thats for stuff like debug plus right?
steep lichen
Not exactly but you don't need it
icy parrot
i guess i'll just start spriting other of my ocs and modding em in
probably start with my object ocs and build from there idk
icy parrot
how interesting
i try to plop in the new joker sprite sheet
it works fine
but as soon as i rename it to remove the 1x/2x, it reverts to without the new addition
this didn't happen when i added the page
also i just realized the page wasn't actually working, whoopsies
latest commit makes page actually works now
oh and now the joker sprites are fine???
this guy should be easy enough to code, but it is 11 pm and a school night so i'll probably do this tomorrow
icy parrot
i am now realizing how much +5 mult for played 3s are
i think i'm gonna lower that to +3
icy parrot
having slight technical difficulties with the new joker but i think i can fix it tomorrow
icy parrot
ok well turns out i couldn't fix it, not because its hard to fix but because ive spent the entire day doing cookie clicker Endless Cycle and now i have to do homework :p
probably won't have time tomorrow and then it'll be shared custody parent switch time and i wont have the computer to code for the next week
shame :/
icy parrot
ok i have no clue at all what i'm even doing wrong, i'm out of time to work on it for now
it almost feels like it's completely ignoring the x2 code
heavy latch
good mod 
cant wait for more content 🤑
icy parrot
welp i'd love to try my best and correct my code but i'm still at my dad's place computerless
i'm going back to my mom's tomorrow so hooray i might be able to find out how to make Aces of Spades score x2 mult
heavy latch
icy parrot
that emoji looks so stupid i love it
heavy latch
yes
icy parrot
ok im back at my computer time to figure out what's wrong with my code
icy parrot
IT WORKS!!!!
turns out jokers don't like having 2 calculate functions, i just had to merge both
thanks for the absolute goat somethingfunny__ for helping me figure this out
heavy latch
🤑 epic
icy parrot
but as soon as i rename it to remove the 1x/2x, it reverts to without the new ad...
its doing the thing again, ill just wait a bit and see if it fixes itself cause last time it fixed itself after a bit
yyyep, 3 minutes fixes it, dont know why
icy parrot
welp good coding session today gamers
circloopa is doing everything well except giving me the mult it should give
icy parrot
200 commits, still as bad as when i started 🎉
icy parrot
sorry i haven't done much, school kicks my ass and i'm just not in the coding mood
icy parrot
thanks to some more help from SomethingFunny, circloopa finally works!
icy parrot
next up maybe a money related joker
icy parrot
making decks is surprisingly hard
icy parrot
not me procrastinating on coding my mod by playing my mod
icy parrot
eyyyy first joker i coded myself without help!!!! i just need to make art for him
icy parrot
also making this mod is helping me realize how bad my old OC designs were
especially painty he's literally 12 lines with a face
like damn dude wth is this 💀
(he gives 3 bucks when you open a pack cause he's a stingy idiot who want to keep all the money he possibly can)
oh and circloopa didnt even have a face before i made his joker card
icy parrot
painty sprite made
that officially finishes my first line of jokers (im gonna skip lines every 5 jokers (5 cards and 5 portraits so 10 slots)
icy parrot
i should make the grading process take 3 rounds cause of the usual lengthy grading process
... nah that feels too evil, i don't want my mod to be that bad
icy parrot
unrelated to the mod but i just finished this video that i've been making on and off for about a year or so
icy parrot
i should make a cucumber quest joker
the question is on what... probably the ESPMCWCSM
how would that transfer to balatro tho, that's the issue
icy parrot
well i made it
still trying to come up with a few more useless effects it can do (im looking to get atleast 10)
so far ive got
-if score is exactly blind requirement, double cashout reward (ShadoMBulb)
-if cards don't score, all probabilities become 0/N for the ante (BalatrostuckGaming)
-give 3 dollar whenever you play a flush five different from previous flush five (lexi)
-if hand contains only 1 lucky 7 of diamonds, 1.5x mult (lexi, slightly edited by me)
-if round number is prime, create a 7 of diamonds (self synergy? absolutely crazy) (me but with a tinge of lexi)
icy parrot
sorry i havent done that much in the last weeks or so, im just not really feeling it much
icy parrot
been thinking of a joker that makes it so food jokers never expire, i just have no idea how i'd even begin to code that
haven't been working on this much but my mind still gravitates towards it sometimes
proud burrow
nah but it would be awesome if it filled your consumables with wheel
strong stone
been thinking of a joker that makes it so food jokers never expire, i just have ...
Could just do that if a food joker was to be destroyed, it spawns a new one
call it Seconds or sumtin
icy parrot
nah but it would be awesome if it filled your consumables with wheel
On purchase, fill consumable slots with halved-probability Wheels of Fortune? feel like it might be too good with actual Wheels, and this is "pretty much worthless" after all
icy parrot
Could just do that if a food joker was to be destroyed, it spawns a new one
not a bad idea
but i already had an idea for the character/name
based on more old object show OCs
also thanks people for talking here cause i have the time to work on this now, i just forgot about it tbh
proud burrow
On purchase, fill consumable slots with halved-probability Wheels of Fortune? fe...
what about wheel of misfortune? 1/4 chance to destroy joker, 1/4 to give foil/holo/polychrome
strong stone
Blank consumable
Does nothing
icy parrot
that's also really funny
(in secret it's compatible with every hand with Observatory)
icy parrot
that reminds me i should check if the mod has been hit by steamodded update shenanigans
not like this mod was held by anything other than hopes dreams and a saddening amount of code that aint mine
now that i think about it i haven't booted up modded balatro in ages
nothing seems different
in fact, some of these seem to be working better than i remember
no, wait, thats because i just remembered about loswig who doesnt work for unexplainable reasons
icy parrot
hey wait where did the steamodded example mods go
i've been using those
ok for some reason reintroducing loswig to the code breaks the page (joker)??
forgot how confusing this was
icy parrot
i'm just going to ignore that problem and instead work on the art for blank consumable and wheel of fortune*
thoughts on wheel of fortune* and blank consumable?
icy parrot
boy do i love ignoring my problems by doing other things
(ignoring why wheel* doesn't work by making custom face cards)
icy parrot
(ignoring why wheel* doesn't work by making custom face cards)
that is... a start
good or bad? your guess is as good as mine
icy parrot
yeah i still got no clue whats causing this, i just gotta keep banging my head at the code until something works
icy parrot
https://github.com/Steamodded/examples/blob/master/Mods/ExampleJokersMod/ModdedVanilla.lua reposting this here for myself cause i know damn well i'm gonna need it
