YOOOO

[untold mural]

👀

[dense mason]

⁉️

[woven rock]

[shell dagger]

modding hype

[elfin wigeon]

sixth

[molten igloo]

gonna be having alot of fun here

[wet wave]

XD
wait why am i here

[storm iron]

neat

[shell dagger]

now i can be like. reshade works for Balarto

its open GL

if you want to use it

[bright comet]

I'll learn Lua to start modding

[lean dune]

yoo

[hollow epoch]

lets goooooooooo

[molten igloo]

#1209506514763522108 is here aswell!

[wet wave]

eeeeeeeee

[sterile temple]

yoooooooo

[forest minnow]

I can imaging the UNPARALLELED heights this game could reach with community content. New decks, jokers, arcana, ANYTHING.

[molten igloo]

anything is possible. we are gonna have such a crazy community of mods

i really hope this gets to a level of rivals of aether type modding community

[lean dune]

this is gonna be cooking ngl

[hardy brook]

Well then. Guess I can make the concepts a reality possibly

[true goblet]

New rule updates #7 and #11 #📜・rules

[molten igloo]

thank u so much thunk!

[formal wagon]

woooo

[dense mason]

mornin' thunk 🫡

[true goblet]

morning!

[burnt raven]

modding damn

this is unexpected

[true goblet]

Please just chill here for like 30 more mins 🙂

[molten igloo]

ofc

[magic sandal]

thunk is there gonna be a downtime to download the full game or like just an update?

[burnt raven]

ofc cap !

[true goblet]

Full game is like 80 mb?

60?

[magic sandal]

ngl i thought it was more

[molten igloo]

its more on console isnt it

or just thoose pages havent updated

[formal wagon]

how do u manage to fit all of that content into 80 mb 😭

[magic sandal]

idk i play on pc

[true goblet]

Consoles have some extra dependencies

[molten igloo]

ye, that makes sense

[lean dune]

mhm

[true goblet]

OH

[hardy brook]

Which would you all like to see me attempt more?

Six-Set, Void, or something simpler?

[true goblet]

I guess I should clarify

[hardy brook]

hm?

[true goblet]

PC modding discussion only

[magic sandal]

i mean the images arent that big and the lua code isnt that big in itself i imagine

[hardy brook]

Fair

[dense mason]

turns out pixel art is ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ᵗᶦⁿʸ

[magic sandal]

you can fit alot of jpg images into 80 mb

[molten igloo]

might wanna modding rules in a pinned or the channel description here

[formal wagon]

makes sense 😭 its pixels.

[true goblet]

yeah

[magic sandal]

does the game store pngs thunk or not?

[molten igloo]

as theres probz gonna be a lot of early questions on whats allowed and not

[molten igloo]

stores png's in a sprite sheet

[untold mural]

im afraid that making custom jokers gonna be hard. ie shortcut - you need to wire the entire game around it to make it possible

[dense mason]

we'll figure it out

[magic sandal]

i mean, thats not really right, you can get really big images comparatively to what you think

[molten igloo]

for the first couple of days its def gonna be the hardest part

[lean dune]

the fact that jokers like shortcut exist means the game has this in mind

[shell dagger]

rule 11 is kinda iffy

[molten igloo]

decks and challenges are gonna be decently easy to mod i think

[untold mural]

yeah, but it WAS MADE with that in mind

[formal wagon]

well can't you like store it at its smallest size? and then just scale it up in actual game play or am i wrong on that

[shell dagger]

like does that mean people sharing screenshots of custom cards and stuff while they are playing normaly is not allowed?

[untold mural]

thats why im not optimistic with timing of workshop, specifically for jokers

[shell dagger]

like if all the face cards are replaced by nortionlions face

[magic sandal]

i mean idek but like all im saying is that saying its just pixel kinda falls off when you realize how many pixels are stored in an image

[dense mason]

we already have 1 card with his face

[shell dagger]

yeah but like someoen mods it to replace all the face cards with just his face. and someone takes a screenshot and shares it in game discussion to be like "my hand was crazy"

[lean dune]

i read it as modded content being fine, just stuff that relates to source code can only go here

[untold mural]

with his faceS, so every joker is different grimace

[true goblet]

Rules for Modding channels:

1. No discussion of porting to other platforms
2. Keep all source code discussion in the modding channels
3. No debugging source code
4. PC modding discussion only
5. All server rules still apply #📜・rules

I'll pin that, anything else?

[lean dune]

seems fine

[shell dagger]

ima actulty have to say this.. you might wanna make a uh 18+ channel just incase

[magic sandal]

so talking about ce is like rule 3 right?

[shell dagger]

xd

[magic sandal]

thats what im not sure about

[lean dune]

uh why

[untold mural]

wait, so we will be able to mod it right away? "main" game included?

[formal wagon]

maybe add a all server wide rules still apply?

[magic sandal]

no reason to lmao

[formal wagon]

besides 11

[true goblet]

Rule 7

[shell dagger]

mod that replaces the card art with something else

[lean dune]

no

[dense mason]

i suppose a "server rules still apply" wouldn't hurt

[magic sandal]

i mean the game itself isnt 18+ so i imagine that wont be allowed

[shell dagger]

ima just say that it would still probs be better than having people go to a third party website to uh deal with it

[round ore]

rule 3 doesn't make any sense

[lean dune]

can we just keep stuff out of this game

[shell dagger]

"no sharing the source code"

[untold mural]

imma delte it just in case

[shell dagger]

this is the internet my man

[lean dune]

it's literally cards

[true goblet]

This is a private moderated corner - please follow the rules

[lean dune]

feel free to make whatever mod you want

but don't share it on the discord

[dense mason]

having been in other game communities, it is likely inevitable. but we don't have to give it attention

[lean dune]

still better to have there not be an official place for it

can we move on now

[untold mural]

does Gore count as nswf?

[dense mason]

yes

[true goblet]

Of course it does

[lean dune]

what else would it count as

[untold mural]

just in case 🙂

[lean dune]

you guys clearly have never had to moderate anything

[dense mason]

some people prefer the tag "NSFL" (Life)

[shell dagger]

i feel like that would be a contextal one of like. mod that makes cards get cut in half with chainsaw with doom sound effects probs would be fine

[molten igloo]

fr LMAO

[unreal thistle]

this is def not the right chat, but when is the game officially releasing?

[lean dune]

works too, but anything that's NSFL is also NSFW

[lean dune]

in 16 minutes

[magic sandal]

15 minutes

[unreal thistle]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[dense mason]

every time someone asks the game is delayed by half a second

[true goblet]

Modding people - can we please try and keep the peace in here? I don't want this chat to turn into an issue when there are so many fun possibilities for the modding community. Please just follow the rules and make sure others do the same!

[molten igloo]

100%

[strong swift]

balatro release 2034

[shell dagger]

also that uh porting to other consoles thing. so no mod to make it work on snes?

xd

[lean dune]

lmao

[shell dagger]

snes solitare has ruind me

[dense mason]

run doom on calculator? no, run balatro

[unreal thistle]

how did you get the jokers role?

[dense mason]

thunk's choice

that's pretty much it

[unreal thistle]

nice lmfao

[shell dagger]

they are the invisable joker all of them are

you dont know which joker is which

dundundun

[dense mason]

oooOOOoooOo

[unreal thistle]

i hope texture packs get released relatively soon, i feel like people would have a blast customizing sprites

[shell dagger]

anyway when game comes out i might explain how to use reshade

[dense mason]

im going to duplicate your shortcut ooOOOOOoOOOoooooOO

[molten igloo]

thoose will be EXTREMELY easy

its litteraly just replacing the png

[shell dagger]

since it is usefull for dealing with visual effects and such

there needs to be an offical "resource pack" thing

so it doesnt disable achivements

since having the card text become awefull to read wouldnt really be an advantage

[untold mural]

yeah, the game handles all the effects, but what if you want to change THOSE effects?

[shell dagger]

changes sound effect of the joker talking into banjo kazooie

[hardy brook]

Plans:

Figure out how to add new Deck....
Then make stuff?

idk

[shell dagger]

i would figure out how to edit the save system tbh since then you can make a mod loader that keeps saves from getting ruined by just loading a mod

like mod loads. profile your not on now breaks because if it

[lean dune]

might be an issue, but doesn't have to be

[shell dagger]

also heres a question. would mods get added to the offical game. like QoL things that you might not think of

like having suits always shown above deck so you know how many of that suit is left instead of having to hover mouse over it kinda thing

[lean dune]

I would assume if it's something a lot of people want, thunk would consider adding it

[shell dagger]

yeah. and if it ends up being more than qol could just do the workshop thing that binding of issac does

and like let people know that theese mods are in the game now and then the comments get filled with "congrats on your mod getting added"

[lean dune]

all up to thunk, in the end

[shell dagger]

yeah

anyway

games out. time to set up my vr stuff

ok so.

1. download reshade.

2. go to your baltro folder and set it as the target. the exe will be LOVE since thats the engine

3.select openGL

4. pick whatever packs/bundles you want.

5.expierment

"modding" just adding a shader to the games rendering api

hooks into the rendering api and not the exe

so this would work with any future thing or update

i will say if you break your game you can use the reshade download exe to uninstall the thing. anything you do is your risk. if game crashes then dont report it

[hardy brook]

So, extracting assets: Easy.
Reimporting them, not so easy

[dense mason]

holy shit

[hardy brook]

On whether or not one can make the game moddable, the answer's yes

I'm just trying to figure out how to texture pack for now. only thing i can think of is that old "texmod"

but it's super old that I honestly don't trust it anymore

[white scarab]

The game uses spritesheets for textures

I helped make a custom texture interface for the old demos and that pretty much involved making new spritesheets and adding something to the texture loading for cards that makes the game recognize them

There’s someone working on a modloader, when it gets released that’ll be part of the API

If you are just EDITING the textures then you can directly modify the spritesheets

So you would have to unzip the game to get the game files, edit those spritesheets, and then re-zip it

[hardy brook]

Wait, Zip?

[white scarab]

You can use something like 7zip to extract the game files

[round ore]

7zip works best

[hardy brook]

Yeah unzipped and got to editing, but When I zip, it tells me "Nuh uh"

I can try with 7zip

[round ore]

Repacking doesn't work great with winrar in my experience

[white scarab]

And then I think this lets you repackage it https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution

[hardy brook]

oh

[white scarab]

copy /b love.exe+SuperGame.love SuperGame.exe

SuperGame.love is a renamed zip file

Except with Balatro obviously

[hardy brook]

yeah

[round ore]

If you're stubborn you can edit files in 7zip without unpacking, but it's not very user friendly

[hardy brook]

oh shoot

Green

Neat

I'll continue to mess around later

[twilit hollow]

ooo, is workshop support being planned or smth? i just found out this chat existed

[muted vault]

@thorn garnet sorry, rule #7

as a reminder for the modding channel, please don't mention/post about/suggest anything illegal or NSFW in this server

[thorn garnet]

Fair

[river mango]

Omg balatro on vr

[crimson geode]

Is there an easy way to enable HDR? I can't find any .ini files that might have this option. Newb obviously so please be kind.

[lean dune]

I ain't seeing no .love file anwhere, where's that supposed to be at? 🤔

[brazen geode]

The .exe itself works as a .love if you rename it, atleast with the demos

[white scarab]

You have to rename a .zip to a .love

[rotund galleon]

please make spades purple like in the card text

huge qol

[lean dune]

oh the executable is the zip? alright I shall explore that then

[supple cypress]

can we just redefine a lua function with some other lua script?

[white scarab]

Yes

[supple cypress]

figured out how to patch

very easy thanks to lua

i am gonna make tiny mod loader that just loads lua from a file and then executes it to patch it

dont rebuild through xcode just have the directory with the lua in it and then run it with love

the game engine

download it then run it via terminal with the directory as an argument and it will run the game

[white scarab]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1180709143233962085/1183971195301920858/image.png?ex=65e68f1a&is=65d41a1a&hm=148bcd4487311128418dc468ec1cbd6a97c41ff576fa642671e90f6f4674d897&
This was a mod I made in the 0.9.0/September demo (before Flush Five was added)

[lone plaza]

what do you mean?

[supple cypress]

what os are you on? mac?

https://love2d.org/

download the correct version (no installer) then run it from the terminal with the decompiled directory as the argument

oh

[true goblet]

Please read the pinned rules

[white scarab]

^^^^^

[lone plaza]

oh i’m sorry i didn’t realize

[supple cypress]

made a tiny (5 line) mod loader
I will make post about it in a bit

[white scarab]

nice

I know @tacit mountain has been working on a more complex modloader but that project isn’t quite ready for release yet

[sand thicket]

Fuck yeah

[tacit mountain]

Yep there is a modloader that I created for the demo, it's not ready for the full realease but it does contain an injector and is not packaging any source code

I will need a little bit of time to make it fully compatible to the 1.0

[white scarab]

Oh yeah let me send a pic of what happens when you go infinite

This was from the demo but the scientific notation code just breaks

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1168219372003790850/1205396094591443004/image.png?ex=65e17218&is=65cefd18&hm=bac333dabb0b8014c713fbda85691aa9b7fce97a4f8edf6efb0ba357576e4503&

[civic totem]

Hello guys, is there a place where we could see already all the mods that are able to be applied on the game ?

[sand thicket]

The future

[tacit mountain]

That's the link to the modloader: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded

[civic totem]

I am looking for a mod that displays PS4 buttons instead of XBOX controller

[white scarab]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506514763522108

[white scarab]

Make a post in that channel too

[sand thicket]

Worth pinning perhaps ?

Def worth a thread

[tacit mountain]

What do you mean ?

[white scarab]

Modding channel

So people can see that there’s a modloader

In the forum

[tacit mountain]

Oh yeah indeed !

Let me a moment I will write the message

And that's the post for Steamodded !

https://canary.discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209564621644505158

[novel shell]

do you guys think the purple spades look decent enough to match the colours for other suits?

[sand thicket]

Wonderful job, excited to see it updated ! Do you guys plan on making like, an example mod as a starting point, later down the line ?

[sand thicket]

They're nice

[round ore]

I'd play with these

[novel shell]

Here's the modified file if anyone wants to mod them in

[tacit mountain]

There is already some in example mods

[sand thicket]

Oh hell yeah . Forgive my blind ass

[tacit mountain]

But the most basic mod can be:

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: The Nothing Mod
--- MOD_ID: NothingMod
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Steamo, TheVoid]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: This Mod don't do anything !

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE END----------------------

Or even this mod, that simply add an exit button to the "Escape" menu:

--- STEAMODDED HEADER
--- MOD_NAME: Escape Exit Button
--- MOD_ID: EscapeExitButton
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [Steamo]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: Add an "Exit" button into the "Escape" menu

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

function G.FUNCS.exit_button(arg_736_0)
    G.SETTINGS.paused = true

    love.event.quit()
end

local createOptionsRef = create_UIBox_options
function create_UIBox_options()
    contents = createOptionsRef()
    local exit_button = UIBox_button({
        minw = 5,
        button = "exit_button",
        label = {
            "Exit Game"
        }
    })
    table.insert(contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes, #contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes + 1, exit_button)
    return contents
end

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE END----------------------

And I do provide some documentation for some part of the Modloader, like adding a deck for example: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Create-a-Deck

[lean dune]

gotta make some fancy decks right

[novel shell]

oh yeah that was the 2x one, I did a quick resize for the 1x one, hopefully no quality issues with having done so

[paper flame]

Purple spades look absolutely beautiful just saying

[novel shell]

ahh, and texture replacements are very simple to do, 7-zip will let you drag and drop the new files in over the old ones

I wonder how difficult it would be to replace the High Contrast Cards checkbox with UI similar to the Game Speed selector, and parse a folder full of card textures to populate the selector with options, so players can easily swap between several modded card appearances

[tacit mountain]

I made a compatibility patch for the ModLoader, it's now usable with the 1.0 but EXTREMLY UNSTABLE (IT WILL ABSOLUTLY CRASH VERY OFTEN). It's just so you can test it, I will debug it over the next few hours and day: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases/tag/0.5.0

https://i.imgur.com/28PcV2w.jpeg

[brazen geode]

the pixel art smoothing setting in graphics already switches textures between 2 folders of textures, so implementing extra sets should not be hard (?)

[novel shell]

Oh wait, is that by any chance what determines if the 1x or 2x folder is used?

[brazen geode]

it is

[supple cypress]

anyone figured out how to recompile? this whole time ive just been taking the decompiled code and running it directly with the love engine

[true goblet]

is the lua compiled?

It shouldn't be - I thought I removed that bit

[supple cypress]

it is a normal directory with an exe appended on it i think
its a runnable excutable but you can extract it into the source code
this is what i mean when i say decompiling

the lua isnt actually compiled to machine code so it technically isnt compiled

[round ore]

did you try to update files in the archive?

[sand lake]

I'm starting development on Balatro 2

[magic sandal]

balatro 1 isnt out for a day people already making balatro 2

[novel shell]

If anyone's using the purple spades I posted above, there's another file ui_assets_opt2.png that uses the red/yellow/blue/black colours, which I've updated here (2x)

and here (1x)

[split hollow]

are there any math calculation mods out yet?

[exotic pine]

Can't wait to start modding, are we primarily using Lua to mod or is that just for the mod loader?

[white scarab]

The game uses Lua so Lua it shall be

My searcher is written in OpenCL, but I had to port the RNG algorithm to get it to work like that

[upper nebula]

so how i can use that texture? with balatromodloader?

[novel shell]

Open Balatro.exe with a suitable archive extractor (The one I used is 7zip). Replace the files in the archive with the textures (Balatro.exe\resources\textures\2x\8BitDeck_opt2.png for example).

[white scarab]

When Steamo’s modloader gets released there should be texture pack support, and it will be a lot easier to use custom textures

[ionic rock]

I'm currently exploring a mod for just being a "Balatro Helper" with no content additions

[upper nebula]

thank you\

[tacit mountain]

I'm working on it ! There was some change on the texture management

[novel shell]

Note that you do not want to extract the archive, but rather browse/interact with it through 7zip

[white scarab]

Also check DMs when you get a chance, I responded to your request :)

[white scarab]

This probably makes it easier, since you have to repackage it with the game engine if you unzip it

[novel shell]

Yeah, it seems it's based on a self-extracting archive kind of thing, so anything that lets you modify the archive without disrupting the executable part should be quite convenient

[tacit mountain]

7zip and WinRar on windows

My injector use 7zip indeed and I'm not planning to replace it

[novel shell]

I'm just having fun messing around with the card textures 😆

[hardy brook]

I made a mod tutorial section

That way we can link everything

[muted wraith]

Is there a way to make jokers?

[brazen geode]

what was changed? and since when? all i saw was less resolution folders

[upper nebula]

I have some issues with it

[tacit mountain]

The change was made between the 2 last demos, I did not had the time to change it.

[upper nebula]

it is 2x textures

[novel shell]

@upper nebula turn on high contrast

high contrast gives you the red/blue/yellow

hence that's what I modified

[upper nebula]

oh

nice

thank you

[novel shell]

working?

[upper nebula]

ye

[novel shell]

I've put the four .png files in a .zip file maintaining their directory structure if anyone wants the purple spades without having to individually download the files from above

[hardy brook]

If someone figures out how to add suits, please let me know

[white scarab]

You would probably have to do a lot for that

[hardy brook]

Oh trust me

I'm willing to do it twice over

[lean dune]

omg so pretty

[tacit mountain]

The ModLoader is once again capable to load custom Decks: https://i.imgur.com/6iQrMo3.jpeg

[pastel wolf]

lmao

[tacit mountain]

It's still buggy and I will need to add some tweaks to match the new version, but I expect to be able to post a release in the next hours.

@white scarab I changed the code structure a little bit to load the deck and other stuff at an other moment, I will also need to modify the injector before releasing

[white scarab]

nice

[pastel wolf]

I gotta

[white scarab]

although I can't test atm since I don't have the game yet

[pastel wolf]

work out how to add jokers in

[white scarab]

one of the sample mods was adding flush five so some of that logic could be used to add a joker

although that was also from demo

[rigid jewel]

This is making me want to make my own custom card textures based on the ones I’m currently making for a game.

What’s the dimension of a card in Balatro?

[pastel wolf]

Check pinned in #🎨・fan-art

i think the details are in there

[tacit mountain]

Should be solved lol

[pastel wolf]

I have like a collection page worth of jokers to add

[white scarab]

yo where do I see gifted games??

and also tysm

[tacit mountain]

The ModLoader was covering texture loading before, but I had to drop it for now (Many change on this part happened in the source code, I need to rewrite it)

[rigid jewel]

Damn

Guess that gives me time to make it.

[tacit mountain]

That's for the Seed Searcher 🔥

[tacit mountain]

Like Math was saying, you can take a look at one of the example mod he made for the Demo

This one I think https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/FiveOfAFlush.lua

[rigid jewel]

I can't hunt down the file with the value texture though, I don't have the game (I'm broke and my dad isn't home).

[tacit mountain]

The code is from a time when the source code was obfuscated, but the global Idea is still working as far as I know

[rigid jewel]

Has the non high contrast one posted?

I saw the one for high contrast (purple spades is cool)

[tacit mountain]

@novel shell

[round ore]

idk if possible but someone needs to mod in a versus mode or somethin

[glossy turret]

nobody's done this yet right?

[proper parcel]

sick

[glossy turret]

been wanting to do this since the demo XD

the cards are almost exactly the same dimensions

the windows cards are a pixel taller

it was meant to be

[molten igloo]

Def happening in the future

Probably will be somthing similar to the invintational

[pastel wolf]

I would love to have the invitational as a mode

[rigid jewel]

Oh, something else that also popped into my mind is a way to see what jokers you've won with what deck for 1500% completion challenges.

[white scarab]

lmao

[glossy turret]

i swiped these sprites from a dos fortune telling program

[pastel wolf]

binding of isaac tarots

[rigid jewel]

I'm pretty sure those tarots are too small to fit

Or would look bad when sized up.

[pastel wolf]

Ah true they're tiny sprites arent tehy

[round ore]

What about the D&DG cards?

[rigid jewel]

Those should be more doable but I can't remember their dimensions.

I think they're close but D&DG are taller and thinner I think.

Cards in D&DG seem to be 88 px height and 54 px width

Note that I'm counting pixels and might be slightly off.

Smaller than I thought

But you can definitely work with it.

With some tinkering you can make them match the size of tarots in Balatro.

What other game has cards in it...

[hexed surge]

how to make custom deck?

[rigid jewel]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209596139922259968 Here.

[novel shell]

they wouldn't look great, but they do somewhat work.

I think I prefer the "slapped onto the balatro card" look compared to the "the actual card, but it has no info on it"

[hexed surge]

is that issac

?

i like that

[rigid jewel]

Yeah

[hexed surge]

i love that

epic

[fervent owl]

@white scarab I wonder if "cheated" save file runs would be a thing. Where the "impossible" combinations of jokers/tier 2 vouchers are unlocked per save file (moving this into modding just in case)

at that point the runs might just be split into "fresh file" and "all unlocks", to set all the possible manipulation to the minimum

[white scarab]

at that point just make a savefile with 1,000 copies of dusk

[fervent owl]

😹 that would be a bit different but I guess

[white scarab]

If there isn't an exact route with seeds that would allow you to unlock a specific set of jokers then imo it isn't legitimate

and a few jokers unlocked or not won't help that much, I think only 40 (technically 45) joker unlocks will mitigate the effects

[fervent owl]

hmm fair enough I guess

[pastel wolf]

I'm confused on how to install that modloader

[white scarab]

You have to go to your Steam files and drag and drop Balatro.exe onto the installer

[pastel wolf]

oh i had it the wrong way around lmoa

[white scarab]

lol

[woven sonnet]

Honestly the voice clip when you use a tarot would be awesome

[pastel wolf]

Though it loves getting pinged by windows threat protection zz

i'm so dumb when it comes to this stuff honestly

idk i guess i leave it for now

[white scarab]

Yeah, Windows loves flagging the Steamodded installer as malware for some reason

[rigid jewel]

God I have so many ideas for what to do in this game modding wise...

Like what having multiple card shaders looks like (stuff like negative + poly)

[pastel wolf]

I just wanna put my cards in

[tacit mountain]

It's because it's packaged with Nuitka as a single file .exe, windows does not like that

[copper bramble]

So, how should I load an external assets to replace the files inside of the executable file?

I didn't get any useful results on google, not sure if I used wrong keywords, and I'm not really familiar with Love2D

[pastel wolf]

score at least nan

[white scarab]

game crashes when you do that

(because it checks with boss reqs, not because of your score)

[white scarab]

@haughty hinge you wanted this exact screenshot btw

[sudden shell]

https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

[white scarab]

wat

[haughty hinge]

lmao

[white scarab]

oh I can share the savefile too

but it will crash when you play a hand

[haughty hinge]

i wanna save file manip so bad

[haughty hinge]

but i need to grind

[white scarab]

I'm not even using a save editor lol

I only manually edited the save to set the cash, everything else is from Debug Mode

[strong swift]

there are so many things wrong with this

[strong swift]

debug mode?

[white scarab]

do you remember the nextfest stream

when at the end Naman was able to just spawn cards and change joker editions?

that's debug mode

[strong swift]

and how do you turn that on

[white scarab]

mods

[tacit mountain]

@white scarab The Deck interface is once again working and more powerfull than before, I just need to edit some stuff on the injector side and it will be ready for a release

[white scarab]

nice

[white scarab]

I just used ACE, but that's not what anyone else should do

it's literally just a variable in the code, should be a quick mod to make when the modloader relases

[rigid jewel]

What the hell am I looking at

[hexed surge]

polychrome hanged man crazy

[true goblet]

This might help - this is the xlsx I use to generate the 'deck' lua table you pass when you start a new run

[thorn ledge]

i had the best mod idea

the tutorial, but jimbo talks like flowey

'hi im jimbo! jimbo the joker!'

[round ore]

“Wat” was so funny

[rigid jewel]

WHAT DA HELLLL

I thought I understood how using excel in gave development wtf is CONCAT function

I guess it's to generate a dictionary based on the table?

[strong swift]

i assume concatenation

[rigid jewel]

I think so yea

[tacit mountain]

The first "Working" release of the ModLoader is there: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases/tag/0.5.1

It's once again capable of loading decks and happen them to the list of loaded ones.

You can download the ModLoader on the Github page and find some documentation about Deck creation there: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Create-a-Deck

If you want to test some example Mods with it, there is some examples (that are quite fun to play with).

You can find more explanation on how to install the ModLoader on the main Github page: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/

[white scarab]

that's a lot of vouchers

[exotic shadow]

nah

[placid glen]

average anaglyph deck user

[copper bramble]

Oh really? I was messing with WinRAR and love packing, I'll check that

WOW it actually works!

Missile best gaming doggo confirmed

[burnt raven]

how do you turn on debug mode

[white scarab]

Mods

I might make a quick mod with the new modloader to enable debug mode if ppl are interested

[burnt raven]

im extremely interested lol

[burnt raven]

so is this guy i assume

[white scarab]

uh I accidentally turned on show hitboxes by accident

[hard grove]

make a bug report

[magic sandal]

balatro hacked client when

[white scarab]

this is a mod

holy hell

anyway I have the debug menu now

and I'll keep show hitboxes because it's funny

Mod for Steamodded Modloader

I'll make a proper post

[past tendon]

"jimbo talk"

[white scarab]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209857245316255744

[burnt raven]

how do i code hitboxes off

lol

[white scarab]

Remove the G.DEBUG = true line in the mod

[burnt raven]

thanks

[magic sandal]

releasing it with the hitbox outline is funny af

[tacit mountain]

The Hitbox will be useful when adding UI elements

[white scarab]

👍

I separated it in that thread so people can use it

Also will be helpful for speedrunners who want to make overlays, since they have the exact hitboxes now

[haughty hinge]

i swear i need a tutorial on this shit i phyisically can't understand without visuals

and i've tried and failed miserably before

[white scarab]

Since there's no patchnotes I may as well look at what changed in the code

Apparently there's some jokers that can't be Eternal, and Erosion was accidentally set to be one of them

besides that all the other changes look really small

mostly bugfixes

[woven rock]

i'd say this in #1207803392978853898 except modding is limited to this channel only. I think it would be easiest and fastest to fix localisation by making a private GitHub project with the language's loc files, and make fixes through git commits

so "modding" the loc files

[haughty hinge]

Erosion is busted lmao

[woven rock]

i know thunk said he didn't want to crowdsource the localisation, but the google form is doing that in a roundabout way anyway

[haughty hinge]

I would love to screw around with mods if i could understand how to implement them

[fervent owl]

Anyone able to test if stencil at 6/5 jokers gives you X0 mult?

situation could be: you already have stencil and sell negative invisible joker, which does NOT drop on stencil

I asked thunk during invitational and he wasn't sure #1204200450879004682 message, I think it would make the most sense if Xmult was capped at 1X at any point so I'll probably make a bug report

I just want to make sure if it's only visual, though

[crystal geode]

using google sheet to make i18n is terrible
we should dump language.lua and check it directly
and give it back by a mod

is it possible to build a translation mod example?

[woven rock]

this would be great yes

[true goblet]

If you have the debug flag on and press and hold the 'g' key, then tap the 'a' key, it should toggle the wireframes

[late nebula]

Hi, where can i get started with modding for balatro, i noticed this chat is really long. If we could get a pin here would be great.

[dense mason]

#1209506514763522108 might have some basics

[exotic shadow]

why is he not debuffed?

is htis a bug or just because the game doesn't like what I'm doing?

also this

[white scarab]

You probably added a card in a buggy way

I’ve had weird issues with bugs that create cards even without any modding

[exotic shadow]

oh the seal making one

[white scarab]

Yeah

Were those cards you save-edited in?

That might be why weird things are happening

[exotic shadow]

no I just bought them in the shop

well the jokers

didn't touch the deck

[white scarab]

oh, then you might have uncovered a bug

[exotic shadow]

but

I think he made them

so this might be a bug

I'll replicate on a slighly less modded save

[round ore]

i had to fight my antivirus to get the modloader

it does not like the modloader

[karmic walrus]

Ok, how the hell can I actually gamble on this thing. I will gladly toss money down the drain for the added thrill.....

[pastel wolf]

I think that just means that you have a problem

[white scarab]

Imagine wheel of fortune costs $1 IRL to reroll or something dumb

[supple cypress]

i have an idea for a new game plus mod
every ante in endless mode you can start a new game with a fresh deck and no jokers, but with 1 more joker capacity
and the blinds scale more aggressively
but the scaling is weighted to happen later on so you dont have a trillion point first blind

i will try to make this with the new mod loader (Steamo's one) when I have time

maybe you get super vouchers which are like inscryption's boons

[tacit mountain]

Feel free to ask for help if necessary 🙌

[late nebula]

Decided to try and make some black gold cards

[hexed surge]

epic

epic

[supple cypress]

is it laggy?

[hexed surge]

yes

i have a lot of random jokerds

jokers*

[supple cypress]

game starts lagging at only 200 jokers smh

[hexed surge]

its tooks 2minutes to done with boss blind

[royal grail]

Hello, is there a place where we can find ingame assets ? I want to takes notes in my system and it would be nice to have thoses to illustrate

[supple cypress]

use 7zip to open the Balatro.exe

and look inside

resources/textures/1x

[royal grail]

Oh okay thanks you

[supple cypress]

you can find Balatro.exe by going to steam then properties then local files then browse local files

[hexed surge]

i need to wait 2minutes or 3minutes to done with blind

its laggy

[white scarab]

You should try loading your settings file and pumping the game speed to something insane

[hexed surge]

i have on 4 and its laggy

and the fire on the end its goes crazy

crazy and its just 1card and like 15level high card

the big numbers

[white scarab]

I’m wondering if anyone can test this… if you have 0 max hands and use Burglar, do you get 3 hands or do you instantly lose?

[exotic shadow]

I can test

[hexed surge]

crazy its took 3minutes

to complete

[halcyon fog]

go past the integer that the game uses and see what happens

[exotic shadow]

It took this many rerolls to find one

[exotic shadow]

It gives 4 for some reason

wait let me sell burgalar and see if I get one

oh wait my hands is 1 for some reason

yeah there seems to be some game logic preventing you from having 0 hands

[glossy turret]

hmm

[dense mason]

lmao

[late nebula]

OK

Now THAT is epic

[mighty narwhal]

ok thats really funny LOL

[glossy turret]

yeah i had this idea at work and had to realise it XD

super jank

that 0 is the 10

[hexed surge]

i like this U N O

[livid yacht]

Exelcsior

[glossy turret]

absolutely wouldn't use this for an actual run

[hexed surge]

epic

[white scarab]

Make wild cards actual wild cards

[dense mason]

UNO balatro is everything i was hoping for in modding

[late nebula]

doable actually

[exotic shadow]

wild cards are worth 25 chips cause thats how much they're worth in uno

[glossy turret]

i thought wilds were 50

[exotic shadow]

maybe I'm thinking phase 10

yeah looks like its worth 50

[white scarab]

Make Cryptid +2 and Incantation +4

[hexed surge]

im not gonna continue i need to wait 3minutes to complete one blind

[hexed surge]

jimbo parking

[hardy brook]

ah heck naw. Balatruno

[hardy brook]

What the heck happened? Is that a NEGATIVE PLAYING CARD!?

[hardy brook]

Lemme try

The heck, I turned off @. smh. Sorry for the pings

[white scarab]

Yes.

[hardy brook]

What the heck does that even do?

It's only been what? 2 days?

[white scarab]

I think it does nothing

Or maybe adds +1 joker slot

But I think it doesn’t do that

With debug mode you can set playing cards negative

[hardy brook]

This is so confusing lol

It hurts my brain

[white scarab]

Still don’t understand why that’s a straight flush, I just played 5 random cards…

[hardy brook]

I just grabbed the textures and put them centered from DNDG into the Balatro card shape

[hexed surge]

epic

i like that pixalated

art

[hardy brook]

I had to edit the D&DG back to fit Balatro

[hexed surge]

ok

but its awesome

[hardy brook]

I really want to add the cards like 1 of suit, Jack of all trades, etc

but unfortunately I can't really

At least not at the moment

[hardy brook]

Current progress

[woeful finch]

DnDG texture pack?

[hardy brook]

Yup

Fastfur mentioned D&DG cards so I thought I'd do a texture pack

At least for the face cards and the card backs

Not gonna do every joker

[woeful finch]

dont forget about the locked deck texture 🙂

[hardy brook]

I'm definitely not done haha

Checkered

[hardy brook]

to showcase a few decks

[hexed surge]

epic

[hardy brook]

The suits are in progress

[hexed surge]

cool

what the heck is going on

[hardy brook]

the heck are you doing? lol

[hexed surge]

just having fun

but every time when i deafeted blind boss

the normal jokers appears but when rerolls cost like 30 or 50$ the shop is normal

[hardy brook]

Good grief

Jimbuplication

But yeah, most of the jokers I may do if I resize + index the colors

[hexed surge]

the texture pack you doing looks awesome

i like it so far

the magic deck looks awesome

[hardy brook]

Thanks. If we ever figure out how to do stuff like card additions, I may be able to do some/most of the cards including the nothings suit

Both as a mod and as a texture pack (so both could be compatible)

[hexed surge]

so far uno balatro and your texture pack are 2 amazing good texture packs for me

[hardy brook]

Uno balatro needs to make the jokers different wild cards

ok looking at the index stuff, I think I'll just use my own colors for some

[white scarab]

When you have too many jokers things get jimbofied

Did you buy every common joker?

[hexed surge]

i think yes

i didn't even know

that is happening

well i love normal joker

[hardy brook]

||I'm being funny joke Crim, idk||

[white scarab]

[magic sandal]

If anything it's normal in modding chat

We had someone with 400 jokers or something

[white scarab]

this is like a 3/10 on the cursed meter in this chat

it gets much worse

[hardy brook]

I wanna ping murph about the mod, but at the same time I wanna wait for 'em to realize that Murphy's Law is in the game as a skin

[wispy cape]

this's gotta be one of the stupidest things ive ever done

yes this is actual balatro actually running on my actual phone

[magic sandal]

Mobilatro

[hardy brook]

Anyways, the secret edit in the mod is kinda obvious on where it'd be

and what it'd contain

[white scarab]

somehow I implemented saving/loading the timer value first try

that's probably enough for today lol

I can add splits and PB tracking and stuff after anticheat features are incorporated

[round ore]

Why does the background look like that?

[wispy cape]

i have done immeasurable damage to the game's source code to get the game to run on my phone without doing weird crap and that has involved hacking out shaders

also, some of the shaders just dont work properly (like that one)

[hardy brook]

Still editing

Gonna work on the base cards now

Hearts are done

[lunar fable]

i need help with debug thing

how do i get the menue to show up?

[white scarab]

press tab

if you have the mod running

[lunar fable]

tab dosent do anything.

this is my mod folder

[magic sandal]

I think its because you need the Lua file in the mods folder

Try that

[lunar fable]

where do i find that?

[white scarab]

it should be in the zip file already if you dragged and dropped it in

show what is inside DebugMenu

[white scarab]

yeah you should have the right files

when you open the game what does it say on top right?

You might not have Steamodded installed

[lunar fable]

ultimate random deck works

so i know steamodded works

[white scarab]

can you show the list of mods?

[lunar fable]

this could be the problem?

[white scarab]

that's odd

[lunar fable]

wont show up and i dont know why

yha

[white scarab]

wait I think I know why

[lunar fable]

what is it?

[white scarab]

you have DebugMenu folder inside another DebugMenu folder

the Lua file should be inside just one folder

[lunar fable]

ill se if that works

[white scarab]

yeah, that would cause the Lua file not to be detected I think

[lunar fable]

yep thanks

dont know why it did that'

mamby its a windows thing

[white scarab]

it's because Steamodded expects a Lua file to be in the main folder of the mod

but because you placed another folder inside of the mod folder, it couldn't find the Lua file

[lunar fable]

eh it works now

im now in a suprume delema. do i play balatro or island of isight

[marsh marlin]

hey im confused as to how to install the mod loader

[hardy brook]

Half the base cards done

[wispy cape]

is it possible to make the 10 look less wonky?

[marsh marlin]

anything im doing wrong ??

[hardy brook]

oh wait, the rest were wonky

[white scarab]

you'll have to drag and drop all of the other files in the Balatro game directory into the folder you are installing the modloader, it needs those dlls

[white scarab]

and then to inject the modloader, you have to drag and drop the Balatro executable on top of the steamodded_injector one

[hardy brook]

Also the numbers are directly from DNDG

[white scarab]

looks very faithful to what I've seen from watching Aliensrock play the DNDG demos lol

Will definitely have to give this texture pack a try when it releases

[hardy brook]

I'll zip it in the same fashion as #1210067461404237844 for easy install

[marsh marlin]

in the copy inside of steam or the zip folder

[white scarab]

wherever you want to install it

[marsh marlin]

wait so i could just copy everything in the zip into the steam folder?

[white scarab]

I have it installed in a separate directory so I can play the modded and vanilla version, but other people have installed it in the steam folder and it works fine

[lunar fable]

mathisfun dont know if you know this but if you make a negitive joker non negative and then nagitive again it will keep geting you more slots. selling only removes 1 slot.

[white scarab]

Yeah it’s a funny gimmick with debug mode

Did you know that you can use it to make playing cards negative? Including the one in the main menu

[livid yacht]

Main menu negative ace looks sick as hell

[white scarab]

#1209857245316255744 message

If anyone wants to make a Dark Mode mod this is a must

[hardy brook]

3/4 Suits done

This will be Normal mode

So it's a bit harder to see difference if you're on this mode

but I'll definitely have a constrast version

Here's my question for you all though:

What color Clubs and what color Diamonds

Blue and Orange would be default Balatro.

Green and Yellow is more in-line with traditional Bicycle (But Spades are also blue in that but i'm not doing that)

Most other decks do Green Clubs and Blue Diamonds

[marsh marlin]

last question, how do i get the mods to show up, sorry

[haughty hinge]

god im so slow i can't understand how to install it

[hardy brook]

So which option you all want more for contrast:

1. Balatro (Blue C / Orange D)
2. Bicycle (Green C / Yellow D)
3. Majority of Decks (Green C / Blue D)

[haughty hinge]

@white scarab i might need a tutorial vid im sorry

[white scarab]

Move them to the folder %AppData%/Balatro/Mods

[hardy brook]

As of current I'll do something random because I can

[haughty hinge]

I hate that i can't understand written directions

screw ADHD or whatever other issue i have

[white scarab]

Nah it’s okay

The install is pretty complex

I’ll actually put some suggestions in the Steamodded thread so it can be easier in the future

[haughty hinge]

thank

[marsh marlin]

I initially tried that, however the game kept crashing so I assumed I fucked up lmfao

[white scarab]

Some of the mods are broken atm

[marsh marlin]

do we know which of the example mods are?

[white scarab]

Let me look, I might remember

[haughty hinge]

I might understand a step by step instruction

hopefully

[marsh marlin]

tysm

[white scarab]

Definitely 5oaf and labyrinth

But I’ll look if there’s any more

[marsh marlin]

yea i assumed 5oaf would be broken due to it being in the base game now, i can check if deleting labyrinth fixes it

[white scarab]

I think that’s it

[hardy brook]

Welp, time to wait for responses IG

[white scarab]

They’re both broken because the custom texture interface hasn’t been updated to work with 1.0 yet

And Labyrinth is also outdated lol, that deck effect got incorporated into one of the challenges

[white scarab]

I would probably go with Balatro’s colors

[hardy brook]

aight. I could probably do some other ones down the line

[marsh marlin]

it gave me a broken table for another mod, i can report back and say which one fixes it, will just delete mods until it can launch

[marsh marlin]

it was the ultimate random mod

[white scarab]

Does this version of ultimate random work?
#1210000960248746075 message

[marsh marlin]

yes

[white scarab]

Now all we need is the font to change (and the rest of the textures)

I had a font changing mod from the demo so I’ll see if that still works in 1.0

[hardy brook]

Is the font a texture in Balatro or an actual font

[white scarab]

Actual font

[crystal geode]

should be actural

[hardy brook]

Then we need to turn D&DG's into an actual font

[white scarab]

You can replace it in the files too

[hardy brook]

Because it's a png

[white scarab]

You can use Fontstruct for that I think

To export it

[crystal geode]

in chinese some word are not pixel

[hardy brook]

There's no way for me to create a font locally?

[white scarab]

You can

I just already had a mod for that

So I’ll try and make it compatible with 1.0 now

[hardy brook]

Dungeons and Balatro Gamblers

[white scarab]

got custom font mod to work

[hardy brook]

oh nice

It's late so I'll do more later

[crystal geode]

these are all same font in code or i can change font separately

[white scarab]

All the same

[hardy brook]

But yeah. I’d change the Poly/foil/etc but i can’t find textures for it so they’ll stay the same

[white scarab]

Those are shaders

[hardy brook]

Then i’m definitely not touching them lol

[proud wadi]

made a super quick change to allow for straights to wrap around aces, now I just need to figure out how to make that logic rely on a joker (and how to make a fresh and new joker)

[rigid jewel]

I wonder how the effects for green deck work (i.e. making specific setting for a deck).

Along with how the editions on jokers and cards work, wonder how weird and insane they would look if we could stack them

[haughty hinge]

can someone mod in a golden flame if you score the blind perfectly

[tacit mountain]

There is 2 stuff that will probably get out before the Texture managements:

• Rewrite of a part of the injector, making it cross platform and adding some automation to the Process of installation
• Mod activation in the UI + a Button to open the folder when no mods are disponible

[pastel wolf]

Has anyone managed to add jokers yet?

[tacit mountain]

I need to work over the Joker addition when previous tasks are done. I do have some work about it, but it was from one of the Beta

[pastel wolf]

also im, embarrassingly still confused about how to install this

so confused lmao

bruh

i did that already and it didn't work last time

but it worked that time

[proud wadi]

Download the injector.exe, click and drag balatro.exe over the injector.exe, it patches/injects it in the game file, modloader installed

[pastel wolf]

Yeah, i got there

i was confused because i did that and it didn't work

[proud wadi]

Do it but better? Idk

[pastel wolf]

I did it again just now and it worked

so i guess i did do it better

[proud wadi]

Ayy

Anyway, custom joker is my next project because it sounds fun

[pastel wolf]

Yeah i have so many arts i want to add

i just.. have never coded uhhh

what do yall use to code..

i have new respect for coders

[hard grove]

[pastel wolf]

i can sort of wrap my head around about a 16th of this

[hexed surge]

epic game

[wanton rapids]

have custom jokers / other cards been made?

[tacit mountain]

Yes and no. The ModLoader does not offer any interface for it BUT, during the demo @white scarab managed to create a new Planet card for another hand type. It was working with some stuff in the Modloader that are now broken, I will update it asap.

[wanton rapids]

alright

[pastel wolf]

I would love to say im working on custom jokers but

I don't know how to code so im starting from literally scraft

Scratch*

I just have my art and my ideas

[tacit mountain]

Lua is not that difficult tbf, but you will need to work a lot with code references

[wanton rapids]

wait, the modloader just jams everything into a lua file?

[hushed furnace]

i can kinda see how you would make a custom joke

but i'd need to study the code more

[pastel wolf]

Yeah i kinda see it too

But also no

[hushed furnace]

the ability definition seems to be what you need

to define a card

[lean dune]

I've been working on a six-suit proof of concept, I'll keep y'all updated when I get something to work

[hushed furnace]

i might see if i can do a custom joker but i'm not good at pixel art lol

[hexed surge]

i need to wait like 3 to 4 minutes to complete one boss blind

[wanton rapids]

is there a way to view the extracted lua?

[tacit mountain]

wdym

[wanton rapids]

like

the main.lua the modloader injects files into

[tacit mountain]

Open the Game as an archive with 7zip or Winrar

[wanton rapids]

alr

[tacit mountain]

The code is not compiled anymore so nothing more

[hushed furnace]

honestly a great move

accessible modding is cool

[tacit mountain]

It was compiled + obfuscated before

That's why you will see some VERY shady code in the Modloader, it's comming from this time

[wanton rapids]

wait, the game's savefile is in the executable?

nvm

[tacit mountain]

No, it's also a .jkr but it's different

[wanton rapids]

oh it's love2d

neat

[hexed surge]

i broke the fire lol

naneinf is crazy

[left arch]

What is baltaro written in?

[magic sandal]

Love2d engine

Written in Lua I think

[left arch]

OH wow cool

[hexed surge]

1000 jokers is crazy

i broke the run i need to wait 5 or 6minutes to beat 1 blind and every time i won i got naneinf chips

ooops i crashed the savefile

[round ore]

Is that a pair of portals?

[hexed surge]

what

i buyed 1k random jokers

[white scarab]

I think 00001H ported a few jokers over that weren’t in the demo, but I don’t remember if he used the modloader for that

[tacit mountain]

I think it was made before it existed so I don't think so

[tacit mountain]

Little questions, should the ModLoader disable achievement completion on Steam side by default while it's installed ? An other submod could reverse it easly, but I think it would be a good idea.

Same for the Crash reports, so Localthunk is not flooded by CR comming from Mods

[white scarab]

Yes for both imo

[tacit mountain]

Let's do a vote

👍 YES 👎 NO

[white scarab]

You could try undefining the part of the Steam library that handles achievements

[tacit mountain]

There is a global variable that manage this part

[carmine belfry]

I think this should be profile dependant

you should be unable to activate mods until you click "enable mods on this profile"

which, like "unlock all", would disable achievements

[tacit mountain]

It can be a good idea in the future, but this is not a priority for now

[quiet hollow]

can you port you mod on the WEMOD platform base please?

[tacit mountain]

I don't know about WeMod, but this is not planned for now

[tacit mountain]

I think that's a big yes, it will be implemented next patch 👍

[hexed surge]

epic

[magic sandal]

you need to touch the screen to know what the boss effect is

[novel shell]

okay but why are the cards not also in braille

how am I meant to feel what's in my hand

[white scarab]

tooltips

[kind night]

anyone given modding boosterpacks a shot?

have no idea if thats exposed in an easy way or not

[tacit mountain]

That's not part of the Modloader API for now and it's not one of the first priority sadly

But it's already possible if you dig by yourself

[kind night]

yeah thats what I figured, thanks

[tacit mountain]

Also, remember that the project is open to contribution, so feel free to commit to it: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded

[terse pasture]

Hey guys, I was looking though the pins to see if there is a quick FAQ about loading mods, are there resources I could look into? I have never loaded mods without a ingame manager on steam

just saw the above, is that how people are loading mods on this game?

[tacit mountain]

Either this ore directly modifying the game files.

But most of the mods you will find there require this loader

[hexed surge]

morse code is crazy

[white scarab]

Someone should do that lol

[terse pasture]

Ah, I just noticed the name, yeah so I am guessing a mod file that starts with

--- STEAMODDED HEADER

Is expected to be loaded with it

[hardy brook]

Let you all decide:

Do i upload V0.1 Beta of the DNDG Texture pack with the base cards and some of the jokers or should i upload it all at once as V1.0

[wild thunder]

wait is it not possible to change the card size with mod

[lean dune]

Earlier I overlooked my files being created with CR/LF instead of just LF line breaks and the loader just ignored them lmao

something to be aware of to say the least

[tacit mountain]

Basically yes, but mods will precise it in the Thread usually

[terse pasture]

I am on Linux but it seems someone else was able to get the executable working through wine, I will give that try later

[kind night]

idk if the size of the card is exposed but it looks like they just scale the wee joker by multiplying its width and height by 0.7

[lean dune]

yeah I just wasn't aware of it

[kind night]

so it definitely seems like you can scale cards arbitrarily

[hardy brook]

So yeah. Either way you all would have to wait until after work for me to upload at the earliest just as a heads up

[tacit mountain]

This MR will made it: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/1

Still waiting for some modification

[terse pasture]

Oh nice! Thanks

[kind night]

😄 so I think boosters are just cards with a specific ability

funny implementation...

[hushed furnace]

vouchers too

[tacit mountain]

true balatro run

[prime cairn]

What mod

[hexed surge]

#1209675501585825822 message

[prime cairn]

Also uhh
How people play with mods..
Do people make a new save or..

[white scarab]

I have a profile for mods

[hexed surge]

if you wanna custom deck or debug mode you need to install #⚙・modding-general message but antivirus will go crazy but if you wanna save editor #1209675501585825822 message

epic

[prime cairn]

Can you do -1 ante?

[hexed surge]

with debug mode i think you can do

[prime cairn]

Wow

I'm guessing the base is 50 chips

Or it crashes

[hexed surge]

idk

never used

debug mode

but i think you can get -1 ante with debug mode

idk

[white scarab]

There’s only a +1 ante button

I looked at the code once and all the antes 0 or less have a base of 100

[prime cairn]

Ok

[hardy brook]

Okay. Still don’t know what to do for DNDG texture pack

Whether to upload a beta version and update it or upload it all once i do the UI and all the jokers

[hexed surge]

just upload it all once when you complete full pack

[hardy brook]

Idk how long that’ll be

I got work until 4, college right after, and other projects

[woven sonnet]

I wonder if some guy's gonna make some kinda "StS-style map" mod someday
(would probably be more like Inscryption's map)

[hardy brook]

StS?

[magic sandal]

slay the spire

another rougelike

[hardy brook]

ah

Working on the DNDG port

[oblique berry]

is it possible to make an "oops all bananas" seed? 👀

[hardy brook]

I'm sure someone could save edit to have 5 bananas

[hushed furnace]

doesn't seem like there's an easy way to give a seed a custom effect but i don't see why not if you were dedicated enough

if special seeds ever do get added it'll probably be much easier

soliciting ideas for the effect of a boss blind called "the anchor"

nothing too complicated, ideally

[hardy brook]

Got next texture pack plans, and I want to make it a community project

Balatro Reshuffled

It's a reference to Games Repainted

[orchid bear]

oh yes i definitely want to participate

[hardy brook]

I'll be making a thread for it

[pastel wolf]

Would be keen to contribute

[tribal cloud]

That had to be a thing in the game what the hell?

[woeful finch]

agree

retexture the blinds and tarots too 🙂

[hardy brook]

hm?

I'll try. Just know it'll take a lot more time

[shut chasm]

So, on the GitHub, it says to 'Drag and Drop your "Balatro.exe" to the executable' - what is the executable

[hardy brook]

#1210358731066576957 message

[pastel wolf]

The exe you downloaded

Drag the balatro.exe on top of the exe you downloaded

[shut chasm]

the steammodded?

oh wait- im just an idiot

[orchid bear]

just wondering but how hard is it to mod the game

[tribal cloud]

No, like skins for your cards or something it could be good
