[cerulean herald]

I would love to have a deck full of aces of 1 suit

Esp with that one mod that gives you 5 of a kind with the same suit

I know what I'm using my planet cards on 🧠😆

AYO WTF

lmao now that's a sight to behold

[wanton rapids]

what's normally there?

[cerulean herald]

How the heck did the ante even show up there ahaha

[white scarab]

an 8-character seed

But this seed is several hundred thousand characters

[wanton rapids]

ohh

[white scarab]

That’s “5?” because of the demo

[cerulean herald]

Monka

[hexed surge]

im on ante 39 and i got this

[wanton rapids]

yeah that normally happens on ante 39

the most dubious deck (back is temporary)

nvm (this is too strong)

[hexed surge]

epic

this is fun

[wanton rapids]

and now for the most cursed joker ever

[hexed surge]

+4 multi noo becouse +50 chips

[exotic dagger]

who's paul

[floral jewel]

There is a save file we can edit?

[stable crag]

you have to deflate .jkr files in %appdata%/Balatro/(1 or 2 or 3)

maybe 7zip can do this

[tacit mountain]

Actually there is a Save editor if I remember

https://balatro.shorty.systems/

No idea how it work, but you can try it!

@floral jewel

[winter hearth]

hi, is there a listener for onCardHighlight or smth like that?

[floral jewel]

Thank you. But usually not into letting random websites alter files. Can't be 100% sure what people can do these days.

[cerulean herald]

I think all the code is there yeah?

On the GitHub?

[winter hearth]

Found it. If anyone will need it, just do override for Card.highlight or Card.click function

[cerulean herald]

Actually not 100 percent sure about that site having a GitHub but it's just modifying a save file too

Not an exe or anything

Can't inject any malicious code or anything that way and save editors like this are pretty common for lots of games like these, hollow knight comes to mind immediately

[jovial escarp]

the more i think about it the more i want a mod that just gives you one completely dumb card in your hand

every card enhancement that didn't stack before would stack

and the card would have all of them

every single one

[cerulean herald]

You should be able to consider it pretty safe. Run it in a sandbox if you want @floral jewel

[floral jewel]

True, but I rather learn how to do it myself. Need to unpack the jkr.

[jovial escarp]

there is a save editor online

[white scarab]

#1209675501585825822 message
You can with Balatro savefiles

[jovial escarp]

i use that to convert it to json

[cerulean herald]

Yeah we were talking about that haha

[jovial escarp]

it doesnt have to be that serious

u can also look into the code of that editor

fo reference

[cerulean herald]

Where's the code at btw?

Is it on a GitHub?

I thought it should be but didn't immediately see it on the awesome Balatro page

[jovial escarp]

the probability of you being attacked through a save file for a game written in love2d would require someone to really really want to put a rootkit on your system
i'm talking like federal level investigation stuff
there would need to be several exploits used to bridge the gaps between all the frameworks the game is built on not to mention save files are sanitized internally and only compressed into a binary format for efficiency
not to mention any modern system sandboxes applications to some level

there's just compounding probabilities here

[tacit mountain]

Tbf Steamodded offer some kind of protection againt this

[jovial escarp]

and the probability is close to 0

[tacit mountain]

But it can still be very harmful

[jovial escarp]

if you run an untrusted mod it can be harmful

a save file, though?

[tacit mountain]

Even more

Way more

The save files works totally differently than other games

The game load them as pure code

[jovial escarp]

are you sure it's machine code

like

assembly

because that doesnt sound right

[tacit mountain]

Lua code, but with standard env so it can be harmful

No need for assembly code to be bad lol

[jovial escarp]

i feel safe running this on linux

[tacit mountain]

Steamodded isolate the env while loading them

[jovial escarp]

literally nothing is at stake

[formal wing]

I dont know if this is the place to actually find out but with lua is it possible for the mods to eventually make it to steam community as the option for install?

[jovial escarp]

there would have to be consensus on a modloader

and the game is new

and there are two loaders that do similar things at a different sized scope

[umbral pilot]

I mean, lovely could technically take care of the modloading

[tacit mountain]

I already shared a lot of informations about this on the Discord, you can search them with the "Workshop" keyword on discord

[jovial escarp]

you could beg localthunk for an official modding api

but

i doubt it's going to happen since the game is so much of a finished product

[tacit mountain]

You should do the same research than D17 lol, I already send a lot of informations about it

#1213838204491399218 message

@formal wing

[jovial escarp]

balamod looks a lot more powerful at the moment

i'm not going to lie

[tacit mountain]

That's not even the subject lol

Anyway, for everyone in the future seing this message: DO NOT LOAD UNTRUSTED SAVE FILES. Even if Steamodded try to protect you against some of the bad stuff that can happen, it will not fully protect you against everything it can do.

[formal wing]

@tacit mountain Thank you for pointing me in the direction of the info i was looking for!

[late canyon]

how do you make a card polychrome I have been looking in the code and cant find it

[tacit mountain]

Take a look at this: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/3ecc7a5570e0f1e5dde5d9f55e0888a00ab8f2bf/example_mods/AbsoluteDeck.lua#L6

The code is strange because coming from the Demo, but still working

[late canyon]

how do you add poly foil and holo to cards

I dont think that will work for me

I am using the challenges code

[tacit mountain]

my_card:set_edition({
    polychrome = true
}, true, true)

Seems pretty polyvalent, even for challenges but tbf I never trully touched them.

[late canyon]

I can see where he add enhancements like stone and glass

plus with redseal it is g='red'

[tacit mountain]

Not sure what keyword is used for editions

[late canyon]

that is what I am trying to find

[tacit mountain]

Let me take a look

[late canyon]

to make jokers polychorme its easy

its Edition = "negative'

[tacit mountain]

That´s it for the Joker will it work with classic cards ?

[late canyon]

I am trying it

nope

[tacit mountain]

And by adding --edition = 'polychrome' in the deck object ?

Not cards

[late canyon]

thats for foil

[tacit mountain]

But that's for a Joker, try the solution I gave you

[late canyon]

this?

[tacit mountain]

Nop thats the card object

It need to be inside deck

deck = {
type = x,
edition = x,
cards = {x}
}

Something like that

Without --

Mb forgot to cut them

[late canyon]

im new to coding soo

[woeful finch]

edtion typo?

[late canyon]

i fixed it and added a comma

[tacit mountain]

Or you can add the effect to Back:apply_to_run

And add it in custom rules

[late canyon]

nope I got a crash screen

[woeful finch]

extra comma in the first entry maybe?

of cards

[late canyon]

didnt fix it lol

wait

it loaded but not polychrome

e is for terrot effects and g is for seals if only I knew what stands for poly

[woeful finch]

idk

[late canyon]

does this help

[muted vault]

just in case you aren't using one, you should really use an IDE or a text editor like VS Code. will make life a lot easier

[hexed surge]

I like to play until 4 ante because it's cool

no fool

[pastel wolf]

True i use vs its great

[hexed surge]

weird run

6 hands and 9 discards

[hardy brook]

Idk i made a fake back

[late canyon]

rip but I was able to make a challenge

[rugged cliff]

Hey guys, I made a whole overhaul mod before knowing about the modloader, and thus the mod file is just a modded exe. Is this alright for upload or is there an easy way to migrate it to modloader type?

[sharp kite]

this is entirely out of my field of expertise, but is it possible to get the source code from the balatro executable? lua isn't a compiled language so I assumed that a memory dump or just looking in the executable would work but I have no leads from that point

I want to start reversing the RNG to maybe see if a seed finder is possible

[exotic shadow]

You can extract the code with 7 zip

It's in the main exe

Also we have a seed finder

[late canyon]

someone already made a seed finder @sharp kite

[sharp kite]

ah

[exotic shadow]

[winter hearth]

works well but gotta somehow get rid of 6 pairs from 4 cards xd

[spice spear]

isn't this a very common issue with like, statistics

[hexed surge]

fun run

epic run

[winter hearth]

what do you mean?

[hexed surge]

i lost

[clever rampart]

how would i make my deck end on an earlier ante

[hexed surge]

becouse no face cards

[hexed surge]

#1212154374206259200 message

use the save editor

and in raw find ante you will see win ante 8 and change on like 4

[spice spear]

having to exclude things from a set of data because it'd just lead to repeats

[exotic shadow]

win ante is actually in the list of things to change.

[winter hearth]

main problem is, what do i need to display from these 6 pairs? Is only one random enough? Or maybe 2-3 of them?

[exotic shadow]

though if you want to modify this in game with a mod, you would want to set G.GAME.win_ante iirc

[winter hearth]

If a player has a joker that gives +4 multi for every clubs, and i display only pair without clubs (but he has it), it will be ruined for him, if he won't notice

[hexed surge]

oh cool i was thinking if you change in raw it will appear but ok

[spice spear]

I think that would fall under user error

[winter hearth]

maybe yes, if I don't find the option to make a dropdown list

[exotic shadow]

no the list of things are just ones I found that would be useful

raw is for if you want to mess with other stuff

[spice spear]

why not make it a button you can press and it opens up a menu with what hands you can make?

[winter hearth]

Still learning lua and love2d

not a pro

[clever rampart]

i want to make a deck that has twice as many cards than normal

[hardy brook]

What's that challenge btw?

[late canyon]

you can only get xmult and mult from planets

but might be too op idk

I need a good challenge for gold fold, Bloody battle, and grave digger

[white scarab]

Grave Digger:
Start with 5 eternal copies of Mr. Bones, no money gained from winning blinds

[late canyon]

ooo I like that

wait do they die when you lose?

[exotic shadow]

bloody battle feels like having a pinned eternal knife and eternal madness

[white scarab]

Not sure how the game would like eternal Mr. Bones though

Hopefully just one dies every time you lose

[late canyon]

maybe they start with 5 negative bones and only 2 joker slots

[exotic shadow]

gold fold feels like something with midas mask and the golden ticket

[loud crystal]

intentionally losing to free up joker slots is funny tho

[white scarab]

Then you’d just sell them all

[loud crystal]

idea for Gold Fold: start with gold cards and eternal vampire, you can only get money from gold cards

[white scarab]

Yeah, and it makes it tough on Econ if you lose

[loud crystal]

may need some other tweaks to not be too easy idk

[late canyon]

they are negative?

and you only have 2 joker slots

[white scarab]

The idea of going from 0-5 by losing and getting no money is funny to me lol

[late canyon]

I wish I didnt have to sort by rarity right after I sorted by type

[clever rampart]

anyone know how?

[late canyon]

edit a challenge to have double cards

[naive marsh]

can you still get acivements?

when u have mods installed?

[neat mason]

does anyone know if you can change the first 2 tags for skipping on each run?

[late canyon]

kinda

[stable crag]

#⚙・modding-general message

[naive marsh]

ok ty

[late canyon]

ok I think thats the last edit to this challenge

[tribal rover]

Does anyone have a guide on modding textures for cards?

[haughty hinge]

save editor is amazing

[mild raft]

Technically should level the hand 40 times

[exotic shadow]

nah just 4000% chance it happens

[autumn yew]

Only thing I want to know:
How do you get into the game's sandbox/debug mode?

been fooling around with some joker ideas and man is it a pain to have to get them to show up

[exotic shadow]

theres a mod to enable debug mode

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

[late canyon]

eh I think its an ok challenge

[autumn yew]

thank!

[haughty hinge]

lucky cat gained 15x mult with a single flush five lmfao

[grand geode]

do any of them have custom gimmicks?

[late canyon]

wym

[grand geode]

Custom Rules

[late canyon]

ya

[autumn yew]

curses, the steamode patcher won't download, it's getting blocked by (windows?) for being sus

[late canyon]

wait accually no

[grand geode]

like actually custom ones not implemented by the game

oh

[late canyon]

they have banned cards and stuff

[grand geode]

my challenge is safe for another day 🎉

[late canyon]

? I mean I am debating on one I am making that costs per hand

[white scarab]

It does that

I think Balamod also has debug tools in the built-in marketplace, but haven’t tried it so can’t rly help much with that

[tacit mountain]

There is multiple injector options, the lovely one will never be blocked in any way

[autumn yew]

yeah, messing with that way now. I just prefer solutions with fewer steps. I might be a software developer, but man, sometimes things are hard and I manage to screw something up in a way that makes no god damn sense

[tacit mountain]

If you are on windows just use the PS one, this is not blocked by Windows (but maybe Chrome)

[grand geode]

if you look at the source for my challenge i've implemented a few custom rules
maybe you can draw some inspiration from that?

[autumn yew]

looks like I have to try this one next, the Love2D one apparently crashes the game with Steammodded in the Mods folder. 🤪

[grand geode]

spice up your challenges!

[tacit mountain]

Try to delete the "Example Mods" folder

[autumn yew]

there isn't one

powershell version dumps a lot of "cannot open archive" errors but still finishes with a success message

something something "and I manage to screw something up in a way that makes no god damn sense"

and yes I have 7zip

[hardy brook]

Okay so what’s my problem?

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1210358731066576957/1215076978311569428/image.png?ex=65fb6f9e&is=65e8fa9e&hm=0f7ef96d08348d77e207d9504d74f671f925be9718d39719ba8bd10999467b1e&

Anything below chips is not loading

[tacit mountain]

Inside the folder lol

[autumn yew]

shits and giggles try putting something (say, stickers) above chips

[autumn yew]

???

[tacit mountain]

Your are missing everything, you need to add Steamodded files

[autumn yew]

ah I see, the lovely requires a gitclone step.

know anything about the powershell method?

[tacit mountain]

I would need the logs it give you to understand

[autumn yew]

the powershell output?

yeah one sec

ah see (part?) of my problem there, I had made a backup of the game files inside the installation folder, so it was panicking over those. It looked like it was failing to extract the source files from the exe.
Lets see now... if the game is patched, then I should be able to put the debug mod in the mods folder...

Ok, game's running, how do I tell if the mod is active?

[stable crag]

Long press tab

[hardy brook]

Sure one moment. Eatting dinner

[autumn yew]

nothing appears to happen.
I'm guessing that's a fail, but I'm not sure at what stage

[wet swallow]

how do you install mods anyway?

[stable crag]

You see anything under game version in the main menu?

[autumn yew]

1.0.0L-FULL
nothing else

[stable crag]

For what loader ? Balamod or steamodded?

[stable crag]

Nothing is patched then

[wet swallow]

none of these words are in the bible

[autumn yew]

they're modloaders

[stable crag]

Idk how works lovely tbh, I can help you installing balamod but that's all

[wet swallow]

i imagined but still i have no idea how to do any balatro modding at all

[proud wadi]

step one: install a modloader
step two: follow instructions for that modloader to install mods

[stable crag]

Lmao, there are 2 "mod Manager" for balatro that run mods in a different way but balamod mods don't run on steamodded and vice versa

[wet swallow]

i....see?

[white scarab]

I hope that the integration happens soon and smoothly

Im pretty sure Steamo is interested in merging with Balamod

[haughty hinge]

wowie

[wet swallow]

that would be nice

[autumn yew]

the game isn't natively set up to support mods, so people wrote patches for the game to sideload mods into the game. This is called a "mod loader."
Have you played Java Minecraft? Steamodded and Balamod are the Forge and Fabric equivalents

[stable crag]

I would be okay too but how x)

[white scarab]

And I think because the way Balamod and Steamodded inject code are fundamentally different it’d be cool to somehow support both

I know Lovely allows you to inject Steamodded so something like that could be a key

[tacit mountain]

Yeah we choosed very distinct path to implement a lot of base stuffs

[wet swallow]

i see i see

[autumn yew]

verified file integrity and started over. works now 👍

[tacit mountain]

That's always files integrity lol

If not the AV

[proud wadi]

I'd use lovely but I also want to keep a "modded" and "vanilla" version, so I'm just using the injector for steamodded. Getting back into it and finally getting around to finishing my custom "see the future" joker, rewriting it from basically the ground up to hopefully be a bit more friendly.

[autumn yew]

that and sometimes my ability to not follow instructions in just the right way (ie. giving it the path to the folder containing Balatro.exe vs. the exe itself and having it still print Successfully modified game.lua anyway (or maybe it doesn't matter, but still printed it and changes I made in my fooling around broke something))

[tacit mountain]

I might have missplaced a catch somewhere

[white scarab]

I feel like if injecting Steamodded through Lovely works similar to Balamod (and idk how exactly both ways work - I remember seeing some issues pop up with both installed) then theoretically you could do that and then work together to make both modloader codes compatible

[stable crag]

Balamod tend to be more lightweight and based on code injection (to avoid overriding whole functions) and on a custom event system but steamodded comes with more integrated features for dev with great APIs

That's the majors differences I think

[autumn yew]

so... literally Forge and Fabric XD

[stable crag]

Yes xd

[autumn yew]

(where Balamod is Fabric)

[tacit mountain]

Yeah absolutely

That's litteraly what we are using as an example

[autumn yew]

before 5 minutes ago when I first said it? :p

[tacit mountain]

Yeah

[stable crag]

Steamodded apis are really great but I don't know if merging them will break the "lightweight" part of balamod

[autumn yew]

Heh, nice.

[ancient junco]

could you make them available as a standalone addition?

[late canyon]

so mrbones can not be eternal

[white scarab]

I feel like there’s some balance where the Steamodded APIs are rewritten to be backwards compatible with Balamod

[tacit mountain]

The function wrapper of steamodded may help for compatibility with Balamod

[autumn yew]

I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride

[stable crag]

You already can import any custom api into balamod, someone just need to port steamodded apis

[late canyon]

why

[autumn yew]

Not sure if you know the reference or not 😆

[late canyon]

I dont

[ancient junco]

yeah I know, I'm asking if you can make the steamodded APIs downloadable for balamod

that would make me switch

[haughty hinge]

can there be a quick mod to toggle the option to disable sci, notation and have the numbers vertically stack on each other when it gets too large

[autumn yew]

Roller Coaster Tycoon (the original). Someone made a roller coaster called Mr. Bones Wild Ride. It took real time days for riders to complete a full loop.

[stable crag]

If someone do it then, I can add it tho the repos

[oak aspen]

Hi. I am attempting to use Lovely with my Steam Deck, and I'm having trouble finding the directory to put the mod files in. I placed the Lovely injector into the game's directory, and got this when booting the game.

[autumn yew]

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mr-bones-wild-ride

[haughty hinge]

i just got 30 planets by spamming mime and blue seal

[proud wadi]

they would need to be rewritten for balamod, it's not just copy -> paste

[white scarab]

I know that it would be great if my SpeedrunTimer mod (made with Steamodded) could be ported over to something like Balamod (and have the advantages like marketplace, etc.)

[hardy brook]

I kid you not, i moved stuff around it actually worked what the heck

[autumn yew]

juuuust FYI, there's a button on your keyboard labled PrtSc
it takes screenshots. press it, come to discord, ctrl-v

[hardy brook]

I removed everything above chips and it works

I may just have to initialize stuff in 2 functions instead of 1

[oak aspen]

Sorry. I'm using my phone.

[hardy brook]

Ok wait

Tags work

[autumn yew]

that tells me that one of those lines is throwing an error of some sort

[tacit mountain]

I think I know what is happing

[proud wadi]

my steamdeck doesn't have prtscrn button, neither does my keyboard (custom split ergo)

[tacit mountain]

That's the debug window

[white scarab]

I didn’t really use any Steamodded API but it would just take a bit to port over since the fundamental way Balamod works is different

[autumn yew]

ah! I couldn't tell it was a steamdeck. carry on. :)

[hardy brook]

so i was wrong

[stable crag]

I made the same mod ;-;

Not on my laptop atm but I can DM you the files

Sure !

[white scarab]

I added autosplitting for the Speedrun.com categories and a ton of security checks lol

[hardy brook]

okay, idk what i did but I think i got it working

[autumn yew]

guests can only die by drowning and rides crashing.
there's also been a lot of advances in "long ride times" since. It's gotten to the point where the "get on to get off" time exceeds the lifespan of the universe.

[white scarab]

All of which could probably be bypassed but serve as a good barrier to entry for cheaters compared to the vanilla game

[oak aspen]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[mortal mesa]

I've got my game modded with Lovely and Steamodded, and have been playing around with mods. Now I'm looking to make my own mods (specifically a custom deck to start). Is it possible to add jokers that a custom deck will start with?

[late canyon]

what do we think?

I could maybe lower hand size

also here is grave digger

[white scarab]

Faceless might be too easy

[late canyon]

I was thinking of lowering hand size

[white scarab]

-1 hand size would probably balance it then tbh

[proud wadi]

I want to add a custom challenge "I Can't Even", all odd ranked cards are replaced with -1 rank, square joker, the pair jokers, spare trousers, etc are all banned, and you can't play pairs, two pair, or 4 of a kind (i'd prefer the hand be replaced with the next highest base hand, but worst case it would just "nope" the hand like when you don't play 5 for psychic or try to play a duplicate hand against the eye), but I'd have to add in banned hands

[late canyon]

you would just make a challenge with double evens

[hexed surge]

thats looks sick and weird

[late canyon]

you can manually put in cards

[proud wadi]

oh, i mean all even cards are replaced with 1 rank+

[late canyon]

so double odds

[proud wadi]

yeah, the tricky part is somehow banning hands I think, I haven't really started looking into it yet

[late canyon]

you can make them always play 5 cards

[white scarab]

That doesn’t solve the issue

You can play unscored cards

[proud wadi]

Ideally what I'd want is closer to what the eye does, but forcing 1, 3, or 5 played cards would be funny too

i'll dig into how the challenges work eventually, I'm rewriting my "seer" from the ground up to work with newer steamodded and hopefully balamod

it's just a silly idea i had the other day

[ancient junco]

could i have your speedrun mod? (dm to me?)

[mild raft]

real qucik, is there a reason why steamodded doesn't let you change languages

[hardy brook]

Oh geez

[late canyon]

im lost

[stable crag]

Wtf is going on xD

[hardy brook]

Games Repainted but Balatro

Balatro Reshuffled

[stable crag]

Too many questions in one screenshot

[mild raft]

seems normal to me

[white scarab]

Going to keep it on the down low for now since I don’t want people to just try and crack the security checks

[mild raft]

i badly need to know where to start with this kinda stuff lol

[white scarab]

It should be released open source pretty soon

[hardy brook]

most of that is literally one suit retextured lol

[mild raft]

yeah but, i need to know how to texture alone xD

[late canyon]

now its fixed blueprint and brainstorm were too op

[stable crag]

Why are there 7 different suits

[hardy brook]

wdym?

[little summit]

no, those are just diamonds

[hardy brook]

there's only 3 suits in my hand there

[hardy brook]

SHHHH

[little summit]

don't listen to him, every card there is a diamonds. yes, including the king of hearts

[ancient junco]

ok

[stable crag]

Red hearts, green squares, magenta stars, yellow triangles, orange shields, black spades and blue thing

[ancient junco]

is there a way to have two different ui buttons side by side in a menu? in steamodded

[stable crag]

How I'm supposed to play a flush with that

[stable crag]

I'm even more confused

[hardy brook]

It's perfectly fine

[ancient junco]

like

[white scarab]

The way I always try to figure out these UI things is by looking at the code for another part of the UI that does this

That’s pretty much what I did for that timer mod

[ancient junco]

yea i tried to look at the menutweaks but its just confusing me

[mild raft]

anyone know where the code for the jokers are? i literally cannot find it

[ancient junco]

game.lua

afaik

[mild raft]

alright

ty

[strong swift]

dick joker

[spice spear]

hehehehe

[late canyon]

I need to find out how to make his sprite smaller

[strong swift]

is there a custom sprite thing for base wee joker?

[cerulean flare]

Does anyone know how to ban or modify boss blinds in a challenge?

[spice spear]

iirc wee joker is just a downscaled jimbo

[strong swift]

because if so you can yoink the code and change a few numbers

[ancient junco]

does anyone have knowledge in balatro ui modding

cause im super confused

[cosmic shell]

Wee Joker's Size is changed in Card:set_ability in card.lua

[haughty hinge]

@exotic shadow is there another way to get a different deck/seed other than inputting it manually?

[mild raft]

how did u change the name, thats literally all i want lmao

[ancient junco]

game.lua

[mild raft]

i tried and idk how to shove it back into balatro

[ancient junco]

most things you want are in game.lua

you can use balamod to inject lua into the game

[mild raft]

thats what i have 0 clue on what to do ;-;

[ancient junco]

ask uwudev for more info

[mild raft]

idk ill try and figure it out

also im stupid

ive been using steamodder ;-;

[stable crag]

[hardy brook]

heck yeah, got one of my jokers

and... i just remembered i'm playing abandoned and bought Scary Face

...

[stable crag]

Gg x)

[hexed surge]

epic

[hexed surge]

what is what

[jolly kiln]

debug mode is funny

[hexed surge]

i never used

debug mode

but this is weird

[jolly kiln]

no im saying in general

[hexed surge]

two pair run

every time i play the space joker its getting upgraded

[jolly kiln]

what is modded about this

[hexed surge]

the run is modded

[jolly kiln]

ok but that just looks like a vanilla run

[mild raft]

say that to 20 consumable slots

[hexed surge]

i end on ante 4 every stuff gives me 10 in 4 chance and yea

[jolly kiln]

ahhh fair

[hexed surge]

just playing for fun

[jolly kiln]

i am fucking around with uh

138 jokers rn

[mild raft]

yeah i was too

[jolly kiln]

yay i get a free rare card !

[mild raft]

lmao wtf

unironically stacking duplicates of negative consumables looks so nice

[jolly kiln]

it doess

those r spectrals too

[mild raft]

if only green negative arcanas

[hexed surge]

that was fun run but well i didn't beat ante 11

[mild raft]

amazing seed

[hexed surge]

yes

i just putted random seed

just for fun :)

[haughty hinge]

i don't think the arm saw this coming

[mild raft]

wait so this is dev tools right

[haughty hinge]

i used save editing to give myself money and other things like more joker slots

getting all those poly blueprints and stuff took like an hour

[mild raft]

what if you gave yourself infinite money

like what if you hit e300 money

or whatever

[haughty hinge]

lol

[mild raft]

do you just forever have infinite money?

[haughty hinge]

sadly you can't change decks from what i've tried

it's stuck on anaglyph

but you can change the seed

[mild raft]

what would changing decks do

i just want to give myself money

and a lot of it

[haughty hinge]

i want ghost deck

to make the poly easier

[mild raft]

deck builder

[mild raft]

mhm yes let me delete my entire set of jokers for 1 polychromatic

[haughty hinge]

i used 10 hangmans so im playing a deck remover

[haughty hinge]

by the time im at that point my high card beats ante 12

[mild raft]

hear me out

give yourself like 10k joker slots

and have stencil carry

[haughty hinge]

lmao

[mild raft]

tbh with deck builder i have like 18 stencils all with 9984x mult or smth

[haughty hinge]

keeping track of which invis to sell with 20+ jokers is pain

my eyes hurt

[mild raft]

20+ is weak

try 100

[haughty hinge]

nuh uh

also i can't get a perkeo seed sadly

all the good ones are gone now

[mild raft]

yup

wait why

[haughty hinge]

im gonna get 30 polys hold up

[mild raft]

oh yeah new update

im silly

[haughty hinge]

silly billy

im gonna spend half an hour on invis alone : )

i swear when in deck builder it is 5% game and 95% shop

[woeful finch]

interesting joker

forces you to spend all your cash before entering any boss blind in return you get mult

[haughty hinge]

free mult thank you

credit card makes me so broke i can't afford free things

[spice spear]

actually yeah that'd be goated with credit card because it sets money to zero, thus clearing your debt

[mild raft]

kinda makes me think anti campfire

dunno why

how the fuck did i ghet 0.6 dollars

how do i have decimal moners xD

[stray forum]

LOL

[exotic shadow]

for the save editor, its not currently possible to change these. The seed, I haven't looked into it much, but it appears I would have to regen a bunch of stuff, for the seed to actually changed (I need to look more into this.) I could probably change the value for if the run is seeded or not easily though.

For the deck, most of them wouldn't do much on changing, (as most of the changes are just when starting the game and not throughout, and can be modified in other ways). Also the game is a bit weird, so I would have to change some stuff across different spots in the save file, so its not just a simple addition.

Right now, I'm working on some other stuff, so I would like to focus on that, but I'll keep this in mind for the future

[ancient junco]

how did you get so many negatives? debug?

[jolly kiln]

debug yes

[ancient junco]

ah ok

[bright comet]

Float weirdness probably

[tired ibex]

60 cents

[haughty hinge]

holy this took so long

28 polychrome blueprints lmfao

every non negative joker is polychrome

[jolly kiln]

install the higherspeed mod

[haughty hinge]

lol

i just got e20 with all my cards debuffed

so uhhh

[haughty hinge]

how do you do that?

i just realized my hand is going to take 2 minutes now

[ancient junco]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/MoreSpeeds.lua

[haughty hinge]

than

k

[ancient junco]

how can you force a card to show up in shop one with a deck?

[hexed surge]

epic

[ancient junco]

nvm its add_joker

[hexed surge]

epic

negative jokers are cool

the seed goes crazy

[round oar]

hi guys, i'm kinda interested in making my own mod which adds some jokers to the game. any idea where do i start?

[lunar fable]

is thire a mod to add a restart run keybind

[whole geyser]

which version are you playing on? pc has new run bound to holding the r key

[lunar fable]

the new one as it turns out

[proud wadi]

Look at existing mods that add jokers

[clever rampart]

i want to know how to make a deck that starts off with double every card

[mental solar]

Where is the code for decks stored?

Never mind, FOUND IT :)

[rare shell]

once again asking if there's a way to check if a card is a scoring card

[fresh prairie]

If it isn't disabled

[spare tusk]

how difficult do you think it'd be to make the Consumables in Deck glitch a feature

[frail karma]

there is a mod for building custom decks.

[clever rampart]

oh?

[frail karma]

https://github.com/adambennett/Balatro-DeckCreator

There might be a thread for it here somewhere. I havent tried it, but claims to be a working release

[mental solar]

can someone help me understand why the game doesn't recognize the values?
i'm trying to make everything sell at full value.

[rare shell]

like debuffed?

[modern zodiac]

Function def needs to be Back:apply_to_run, with a : instead of . And then self needs to be passed into the reference function too.

[mental solar]

The first change worked!
Though I don't know how to do the second change... Mostly because I can't find where self is defined in the game's code.

[fresh prairie]

Yeah

[mental solar]

okay... everything is defined, the game doesn't crash, but the effect itself doesn't work :(
does anyone know why?

[icy summit]

What's the go to mod loader people are using? I know Lua and would like to make something

[magic sandal]

Most are using steamodded

#1209564621644505158

[pulsar ingot]

is there an example deck lua for steamodded that shows score modification? I'm trying to create a deck for personal use that achieves the effect of plasma

[rare shell]

should i include reminder text under it explaining what it is?

something short like
(Choose 1 of up to 2
Spectral cards to use
immediately)
or smth

[grand geode]

doesn't hurt to clarify

[wanton rapids]

diet cola doesn't

[rare shell]

im too magic the gathering brained

[rare shell]

last one for the night

[wanton rapids]

hm

[supple cypress]

what is etheral tag

[grand geode]

Spectral Pack

[winter hearth]

does anyone know how to fix this?
I have a /img directory in Mods/ directory and there are camera.png

Using this code
local load_ref = love.load
function love.load(self)
load_ref(self)
local appDataPath = love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory()
square = love.graphics.newImage(appDataPath .. "/Mods/img/camera.png")
end

[tacit mountain]

Take a look at the Sprite API

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Add-or-Replace-a-Sprite

[winter hearth]

thanks, hope this helps

[prisma wharf]

No idea if this exists already but heres a template for quick color swaps/other if you add some more effort

for aseprite

[winter hearth]

I want just to add a square.png for my interface mod to make it look pretty

i don't want to change any asset, just add some .png files and work with them

[wanton rapids]

how is the r2modman support going?

[haughty hinge]

lmfao

31 poly blueprints with a poly mime and 51 observatory plutos with 66 red seal steel queens

[winter hearth]

oh, that's sad

[grand geode]

eh not quite

if they're linked to a card you can do some fuckery with Card:set_sprites

haven't read the code for other stuff tho

[tacit mountain]

That's mb, I forgot to update the Doc that's supported now

[winter hearth]

oh, so maybe you can help
Am i loading sprite the right way?
and how do i display them? what type is SMODS.Sprites?

[tacit mountain]

You don't have to do anything else than a register, Steamodded add them to the game himself

But are you replacing an image or adding a totaly new entry ?

[winter hearth]

im adding totally new

like w8 a minute

[tacit mountain]

So you need to add it to something

[winter hearth]

There are all the combo i have in my hand

[tacit mountain]

A joker, a voucher

[winter hearth]

And i want to wrap them in a square pretty box

[tacit mountain]

Or anythging else

[winter hearth]

like this?

that looks wierd

[tacit mountain]

No this is the name, you can refer to the doc to see what is what

If this is for a custom joker, the Sprite will apply to it if the name match the joker key

For other stuffs, you will need to load the texture on the part you want to add/modify

[winter hearth]

Feeling so stupid rn haha

Do I understand correctly that all textures are stored in the global table SMODS.Sprites?

[tacit mountain]

All the textures created by Steamodded yes, and in the game texture storage system from the Game

But SMODS.Sprites is more used by Steamodded for internal management, you should use the Game storage system if you want to manipulate it further, or just take a look at how to load a texture for a specific type of object

[wanton rapids]

oh yeah; art for the 10 jokers i've made so far

if someone can come up with a good effect for spiral joker i will add it

oh yeah

[hardy brook]

Ah heck nah, JIMBO PRISM!?

Jimbo Sphere When?

But yeah how hard is it to make jokers?

I’m using 0.6.2

[wanton rapids]

you need 0.7.2+ to make jokers with custom art

[hardy brook]

Crap

[wanton rapids]

if you do install it, i'd recommend using lovely

it doesn't modify the exe

[hardy brook]

The thing by those overwolf people?

Or is this by someone else?

[wanton rapids]

i don't think it is

[tacit mountain]

No they are from thunderstore

[hardy brook]

Same/diff to me

Lovely’s by the thunderstore people then?

[tacit mountain]

Yep

[hardy brook]

Then i ain’t using it

Also didn’t know a 0.7.2 was out

[tacit mountain]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases/tag/0.7.2

[wanton rapids]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector you can look at the source for it here

[hardy brook]

Thank you

Will be saving this

[grand geode]

i already did it on 0.7.0 but

[wanton rapids]

wasn't that a modded version of it?

[grand geode]

yeah

[empty brook]

i believe if you write it as "{T:tag_ethereal}Ethereal Tag{}" it will make one of those pop-ups explaining what it is

so you don't need to be like (this is what the tag does)

[grand geode]

tbf i didn't need the modded version 😔

that was just the easiest way out

[grand geode]

oh i need to update this for my Wheel of Fortune joker

[torpid oxide]

Hey there, I've got an issue with installing mods on Balatro. I installed python3, pip3, PLocate, 7zip-full, Nuitka and the python requests library. So I cloned the repo (using the git clone https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded.git && cd Steamodded && python3 steamodded_injector.py command). I'm currently on linux so I went to /home/$USER/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compactdata/2379780/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Balatro and there I created a folder named "Mods". Then I put some example mods in this folder (MoreSpeeds.lua and DeckOf4s.lua). After that, I launched Balatro but none of the mods are working. What did I do wrong ?

[empty brook]

does that work for specific tarot cards???

i've mostly just seen that for like, tags lol

[grand geode]

haven't tested

[tacit mountain]

What the python script says during the operation ?

[torpid oxide]

What python script ?

Do I need to run something else ?

[tacit mountain]

No steamodded_injector.py the one you launched lol

Without the logs it will be a little difficult for me to help you

[winter hearth]

omg still can't display just one image on screen. why is it so hard lol

and even no mods that use this feature so nothing to refer to

[tacit mountain]

The front part in Balatro is probably the hardest one lol, try to take a look at how it's done by the base game with the type of asset you are trying to use

[torpid oxide]

It said "Please drag and drop the SFX archive onto this executable."

[winter hearth]

i am looking at this and my eyes hurt

[tacit mountain]

I feel you

[tacit mountain]

Did you tune the full command ?

git clone https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded.git && cd Steamodded && python3 steamodded_injector.py $(/common/Balatro/Balatro.exe | head -n 1)

[winter hearth]

maybe just make an ASCII boxes instead of png lmao

[torpid oxide]

Yeah

I mean I can do it again if you want

[tacit mountain]

What $(/common/Balatro/Balatro.exe | head -n 1) give you ?

[torpid oxide]

I get "bash: /common/Balatro/Balatro.exe: No such file or directory"

Maybe I need to relocate my exe file of Balatro ?

[tacit mountain]

Can you locate where is it now ? You can simply give the path to the script and it will take it

[torpid oxide]

Alright

[tacit mountain]

python3 steamodded_injector.py GAME_EXE_PATH

[cerulean flare]

How to add text for a custom challenge rule? My code does nothing

[cerulean herald]

the powershell script/exe is awesome btw

esp bc you can now specify a path to the balatro.exe

thanks @tacit mountain

big help for a lot of people 😄

[tacit mountain]

Yeah I added an auto detect, but issues with AV are still happening sadly...

[cerulean herald]

with defender control to easily disable defender (instead of having people go 1 by 1 through all the diff win security tabs) thats gotten a lot easier to fix as well at least!

with lovely support I imagine AV shouldnt be as big an issue too yeah?

[tacit mountain]

I think Google is the issue for th PS injector

[cerulean herald]

plus r2modman support soon

[tacit mountain]

And yeah, no AV issue with lovely

That's the injection method I will push in the future, but I will still maintain the 2 other ones

[grand geode]

You'll need to reinitialize the localizations after changing it

(literally just add init_localization())

well that's how I did it anyways

[cerulean herald]

I havent tried to run it yet but took a look at the readme and saw someone else installing it, gonna try to use lovely soon to see how it works. If it's a lot simpler I'll suggest people use that in general to inject steamodded

whats the lovely.toml file for btw?

havent seen anything about that yet

[grand geode]

to load Steamodded

[winter hearth]

Looks so stupid like im playing Space Invaders xd

[torpid oxide]

So, it seems that the process installed succesfully, however when I launch the game, I get this error

[cerulean flare]

It works! thanks

[cerulean herald]

you just place it in /mods/Steamodded?

or /mods?

[torpid oxide]

Is it something with the mod that I installed ?

[tacit mountain]

Can you share me the installation script logs ?

[grand geode]

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods\Steamodded\lovely.toml

yeah

[cerulean herald]

👍🏼

appreciate it myst!

[tacit mountain]

I will prepare a github-action to create a .zip with everything need for the lovely part

[torpid oxide]

I put everything in a text file

[tacit mountain]

The game you are launching is placed at /home/rabbit/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Balatro/Balatro.exe right ?

[torpid oxide]

Yep, that's the output of locate Balatro.exe

[exotic dagger]

which is spiral joker

[tacit mountain]

I assume you a re using Steam with Proton ?

[torpid oxide]

Yep

[wanton rapids]

this, i haven't given it an effect yet

[tacit mountain]

Can you try to ask steam to locate the game files just to be sure

[torpid oxide]

Sure

[tacit mountain]

With this

[torpid oxide]

Yeah

Yep it's the same

[rare shell]

deletes the lowest rank card in deck on blind select

[wanton rapids]

oh hmm

i like the effect but not for that

[tacit mountain]

I will DM you

[torpid oxide]

Sure

[wanton rapids]

maybe conveyor belt or smth

[exotic dagger]

ah, that one

which rarity is it supposed to be?

[wanton rapids]

don't care

[exotic dagger]

fair

could be something simple like +50 chips, and gaining +10 per round

or something along those lines

[rare shell]

snoozeville

flat growing chip or mult jokers are not really synergy inducing

Tbh I should have been snoozing 4 hours ago

[flat echo]

hello, are there resources on how to mod this game? Or is it mostly looking at other mods and seeing how they do it

[tacit mountain]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki

Still lacking a lot of stuff but that's a start

[flat echo]

thank you

[tacit mountain]

For now there is only Sprite and Deck

[torpid oxide]

Where can we have access to all of the assets used ingame ?

Also, can we have access to the lua code of the game somewhere, or do we need to figure out some things like how to add modifiers to existing jokers (like foil) ?

[grand geode]

extract Balatro.exe

[umbral pilot]

open up the game's executable in 7zip

legit

[torpid oxide]

Real

[umbral pilot]

yeah, it's hilarious

[tribal rover]

Is their a way to rezip the assets once extracted?

[tacit mountain]

Yes, but use either Balamod or Steamodded to manage your assets, it's a better practice

[tribal rover]

You'd think it be easier to just rezip the assets up instead of having to learn c#

At least from the surface value

[lean dune]

wdym c#

this isn't a unity game

[tribal rover]

Isnt the coding for the modding scene c#?

[lean dune]

not for a game programmed in lua

depends on what the game uses

for unity games, yes

for love2d games, no

[tribal rover]

Ahh

So how easy is it to do sprite replacements?

Because the only game I did lua programming in was 100% orange juice

[lean dune]

.

this is where it's documented

pretty much, for just replacing sprites, you need to shove the assets in a folder and have like two lines in an init function that tell the loader to register your sprites

[tribal rover]

Ok

[grand geode]

i was going to say i don't remember 100%oj having lua

then i remembered texture packs exist

[hardy brook]

What’s up in here?

[umbral pilot]

waiting for docker to do its thing

[torpid oxide]

How do tarot card works ? I can't find the .lua file that manages the tarot cards

[spice spear]

I think they're just a part of cards.lua

[torpid oxide]

Ah

[spice spear]

We added one in ShamPack, it might be worth taking a look there

[torpid oxide]

Alright thanks

[pseudo spindle]

Hey all, has anyone had any luck yet adding custom card enhancements?

[spice spear]

Yep, there's one in ShamPack

[pseudo spindle]

Ty, will take a look

[pale breach]

will changing VERSION change the save?

[lapis jay]

Are shamwows even good

[spice spear]

Dunno, don't own one

[nova egret]

how do i disable crash reports in balatro? i dont see it in options and i dont want to send garbage crash reports as a result of my clumsy attempts at modding the game

[white scarab]

It’s in the game settings

[tacit mountain]

If you are using Steamodded it's done by default

[pseudo spindle]

Ah and Balamod and Steamodded aren't compatible, are they?

[tacit mountain]

Yes and no

The 2 loaders works with each others, but the mods can break it

[nova egret]

ahh thanks

[tacit mountain]

Still unstable however

[pseudo spindle]

Gotcha, was probably going to go with balamod because ShamPack has that example of custom enhancement

[pale breach]

When I try to download the steamodded my pc recognizes it as a virus and blocks it, how do I avoid this?

[tacit mountain]

There is Multiple injectors available, just try with another one or add an exception to your AntiVirus.

[robust lily]

Unfortunately both mod loaders get detected as viruses by a lot of security software because of the way they work.

adding an AV exception is the only course of action if you want to use one.

[tacit mountain]

Lovely don't need to, the Powershell injector neither apparently (Except with some Google Chrome version)

[robust lily]

I've only used Steamodded and Balamod so far

[tacit mountain]

Lovely is used to inject either Steamodded or Balamod

[pale breach]

it was windows defender, I assume because of the python.

[tacit mountain]

The PowerShell injector is one of the 3 injectors from Steamodded

[late canyon]

If anyone finds out how to make cards polychrome lmk!

[pale breach]

after it says its ready do I just launch Balatro through steam?

[tacit mountain]

It should yep

[pale breach]

Next is there a good place to look for how to start making the content for the mod? It is appearing in the game now. I managed to find something

Is there a way to use sprites that are already in game as a placeholder?

[flat echo]

im messing around with making mods, when i create a joker at the start of the run, how do i change its modifiers? make it foil, eternal, polychrome, etc?

[nova egret]

take a look at card.lua, search for "Card:set_edition"

[flat echo]

okay, that works for every Edition, but not for eternal

[nova egret]

are you trying to make what i wanted to make

i already made it, im just working on a sprite

[flat echo]

im trying to understand how stuff works

[nova egret]

it was a disgusting hack because i dont really know how to exclude non-eternable jokers from the pool

so it just generates some joker and if it happens to be non-eternable it gets immediately destroyed and it tries again

[flat echo]

i see, thank you

[nova egret]

set_eternal is what youre looking for, beware of this edge case though, G.jokers seems to be the entire joker pool and idk an easy way to exclude stuff from it (there most likely is)

[flat echo]

i wonder what happens if you forcefully make a non compatible joker into an eternal one

if the game crashes or if it goes away like normal

[nova egret]

it just doesnt apply

[flat echo]

i see, alright

[nova egret]

the function set_eternal checks whether the joker can be made eternal and just does nothing if it cant

[flat echo]

okay this method worked perfectly, thank you

[nova egret]

also sorry not G.jokers which is the area where the card goes i think, the type 'Joker'

[bronze fern]

Weird deck idea

Jimbo Deck
Unable to buy Jokers
When Blind is selected, create a
random Common, Uncommon, Rare,
and Legendary Joker.
At end of round, destroy them.

Jimbo knows what's best for you...

[pale breach]

Is there a way I can check if a sprite exists before setting it?

[pale breach]

I tried the following, but it's setting them to fallback whether their sprite exists or not.lua if love.filesystem.exists( SMODS.findModByID(mod_id).path.."/"..id .. ".png") then SMODS.Sprite:new(mod_id .. id, SMODS.findModByID(mod_id).path, id .. ".png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register(); else SMODS.Sprite:new(mod_id .. id, SMODS.findModByID(mod_id).path, "fallback.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register(); end Also tried the following but am getting the same problem.lua local file_exists = love.filesystem.getInfo(SMODS.findModByID(mod_id).path .. "/" .. id .. ".png") ~= nil if file_exists then SMODS.Sprite:new(mod_id .. id, SMODS.findModByID(mod_id).path, id .. ".png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register(); else SMODS.Sprite:new(mod_id .. id, SMODS.findModByID(mod_id).path, "fallback.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register(); end

[hexed surge]

yes i think

[flat echo]

where do i find a list with all the joker ids? i already unpacked the game but its a lot of files and im not finding it

[haughty hinge]

is the save file mostly the same as from the previous demos

[cosmic shell]

should be in game.lua, as part of P_CENTERS

[flat echo]

ive found it, thank you

[cerulean herald]

@hard crest KYU ILY

YOU REALLY ADDED IT!
THE SLUTTY JOKERS IS HERE BRUDDERS

https://github.com/HeyImKyu/balatro-slutty-joker

HOLY SHIET

MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE

🥹 😭

As soon as I saw that suggestion I was like WE NEED THIS

and YOU REALLY DID IT 🫡

[hard crest]

Hahahaha :D
Yeah, i tried to reply on the reddit thread but i guess my comment wasnt shown to people 🤷‍♀️

[flat echo]

so, i have learned how to add a random joker on a deck mod, but how do you grab a specific joker

[cerulean herald]

I'll see if I can boost it up somehow but yeah, sometimes reddit hides comments sadly. dumb stuff like the word slutty will do that lmao

I'll add it to the post actually in an edit 😉

[pale breach]

Any idea how I can get this working? I've tried so many things now qvq

[hexed surge]

should i buy midas mask?

i think no

idk

[lone coyote]

whats the cover art

[pale breach]

I don't really like buying midas mask without vampire.

[torpid oxide]

What do you guys think of my reversed strength ? (I'll probably change it better)

[hexed surge]

i lost that run it was epic run btw epic seed

epic start

[hexed surge]

epic is that issac reference

[torpid oxide]

Yep

[hexed surge]

epic i love issac

its my seacond favorite roguelike game

[left arch]

Anyone here know what G.UIT.R or G.UIT.C are?

Because we also have this: n = G.UIT.ROOT,

[hexed surge]

lol

i forgot to reroll boss becouse i got the infinite rerolls for 10$ and i lost becouse of amber acorn

double showman

idk why i take double showman but ok

[hardy brook]

Nice. Reminds me of the one I did

[torpid oxide]

Cool, what kind of mod are you doing ?

[hardy brook]

It was a submission for #1210358731066576957

[torpid oxide]

Ah I see

[hardy brook]

btw, could someone make a tutorial for 0.7.2's api stuff for #1209596139922259968? Pls and thnx

I saw we have Joker API and Card API now

[wet furnace]

whats the difference between steamodded and balamod?

[white scarab]

It’s like Fabric and Forge

Balamod is much more lightweight

[subtle hamlet]

was gonna ask something similar. I'm trying to add a button next to the Play Hand or Discard buttons and what I'm trying isn't working. I would like to understand G.UIT.C and G.UIT in general becasue that's what's being modified to create buttons. Anyone have suggestions here? thanks

[wet furnace]

could i use both modloader at the same time?

[exotic shadow]

I was able to pack balatro (and steamodded) into a .love file and run it natively on linux (using system's love2d)

pretty neat

seems to run just fine

[rocky vapor]

what are the image resolutions needed for individual cards that go into the 1x and 2x folders?

nvm i think i got it

[torpid oxide]

What is P_CENTERS ? Is it just a list for the planets or is it also for tarot cards ?

[rigid jewel]

Where the config info for basically everything is located

Consumables, jokers, decks, etc.

[exotic shadow]

it has basically all the data (joker, planets, spectrals, vouhcers, backs, enhanced cards, ediitons, booster packs, extras)

[torpid oxide]

Aaah I see I was looking at the wrong file

So do I add my tarot card at G.ASSET_ATLAS.Tarot or something ?

[stray forum]

How do people mod balatro?

[pastel wolf]

With coding

[torpid oxide]

I still can't find where tarot cards are created, in card.lua I can find where their abilities are defined but that's it

[grand geode]

try looking for the Magic Deck?

that spawns a The Fool i think

[cosmic shell]

P_CENTERS holds the definitions for all "centers" which are things like Jokers, Tarot Cards, Planets, etc.

[torpid oxide]

Alright

If I want to add something in the function Card:use_consumeable(), do I need to replace it entirely in my code ?

[haughty hinge]

this is gonna take some time

im gonna put a timer on this

[white forge]

So, I'm looking to modify some card graphics. I already have a mod template for the main deck fronts, so I could change the textures used for the different cards and suits in your deck, but... I want to be able to change the base card artwork... like enhancers.png and whatnot. I have very basic LUA knowledge but I don't know how to write the code that interacts with Balatro. Does anyone have either a template or a code snippet that allows me to swap out my own enhancers.png or stickers.png or ui_assets.png?

I tried clicking around the mod list but I wasn't finding much of anything that just modifies those textures.

[stable crag]

use 0.5x speed please

[haughty hinge]

it took 12 minutes on 4x

also i can try again

[ancient junco]

see: https://github.com/XenoCHeart/Crimsons-Ultimate-Card-Collection

i think it should be what your looking for

does anyone know how to have this work? heres code snippet: ```function create_UIBox_options()
contents = createOptionsRef()

if G.STATE ~= G.STATES.MENU then
local cashout_button = UIBox_button({
minw = 2,
button = "cashout_button",
label = {
"Cash Out"
},
colour = G.C.RED,
})
local fold_button = UIBox_button({
minw = 3,
button = "fold_button",
label = {
"Fold"
},
colour = HEX('E82C20')
})
table.insert(contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes, #contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes, fold_button) --fold button
table.insert(contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes, #contents.nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes, cashout_button) --cashout button
end
return contents
end```

ive been trying to figure this out for awhile

and i just have no idea how the ui works

[left ivy]

I think you hit naneinf

[haughty hinge]

i just put this at 0.5x speed

ima put a stopwatch on it

[white forge]

omg thanks I didn't realize that crimsonheart separated out the enhancers file from the rest of the mods if you wanted that!

thank you!

[ancient junco]

no problem

[white forge]

if someone has a way of also replacing the other files that'd be awesome. Basically, I'm a twitch streamer and I want my viewers to be able to have me put their emotes or whatever on my cards

[ancient junco]

ah, you should be able to just ctrl-c ctrl-v the code for the enhancers for other files

[white forge]

lemme look at that code again

[ancient junco]

ehh im not sure actually

[white forge]

function SMODS.INIT.PlainDeck()
local ch_plain_art = SMODS.findModByID("PlainDeck")

local sprite_centers = SMODS.Sprite:new("centers", ch_plain_art.path, "Enhancers.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli")
sprite_centers:register()


local loc_def = {
    ["name"] = "Plain Deck",
    ["text"] = {
        [1] = "Base Deck",    
    },

}

local PlainDeck = SMODS.Deck:new("Plain Deck", "ch_plain", {my_deck_effect = true}, {x = 0, y = 5}, loc_def)
PlainDeck:register()
end

So you mean to say I only have to change the enhancers.png to ui_assets.png? I...

I don't know about that

[ancient junco]

yea i just said that off memory, sorry

you should look: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/Add-or-Replace-a-Sprite

[white forge]

ooooh

YASSS

[ancient junco]

yea i shouldve sent that first

[left ivy]

steamo the mod goat lol

[ancient junco]

always comes in clutch

[white forge]

yeah I know how to read and understand code if given a few minutes to look it over but I have no idea how to interact with the game. So I can look at existing code and finagle it to do what I need but I can't write new code

this api sprite documentation should be just enough for me to get digging in

[ancient junco]

it isnt very good ngl

or maybe ive just been spoiled with very good docs

[white forge]

who cares how bad it is, it looks like it's good enough for me

[ancient junco]

but balatro modding isnt very well documented

[white forge]

not yet anyway

give it a few months

I bet someone will make mod tools for it

[ancient junco]

yea, i mean its only been like 15 days since full game release

[white forge]

exactly.

I was really really hoping there were gonna be mods for this.

Then I learned it was mostly in LUA which made me happy because that's generally easily moddable.

Then I learned about how the .exe file is packaged.

and I knew that given some time we were gonna have modded Balatro

[haughty hinge]

it took almost exactly 14 minutes for the hand lmfao

[ancient junco]

how do you check if you have a specific joker that is rare rarity

[hardy brook]

Ahem

What'cha doing?~

[fast hatch]

I hope LT doesn't add anticheat features that make mods unusable

cough cough Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 cough cough

[hardy brook]

LT?

oh thunk

was the one who made the mods channel, why would they make an anticheat to make everything unusable?

[fast hatch]

Because EA did that with PVZ: GW2 and I wanted to get my disappointment and frustration out somewhere.

[wanton rapids]

isn't that a multiplayer game?

[fast hatch]

Yep. People were using mods in multiplayer, so EA decided to just... ban mods.

[wanton rapids]

there's no multiplayer in this so I don't think there'd be any reason to add anticheat

[fast hatch]

I know. I was just ranting.

[white scarab]

thunk has been very supportive with the modding community

[ancient junco]

i ask this again

also is there any function that runs when you get a joker

[hardy brook]

but uh yeah

Mind giving me context on why I see my github in the channel?

and the plaindeck's lua file?

[ancient junco]

oh sorry

[hardy brook]

I'm just asking

[ancient junco]

its cause they were asking how to replace the textures in game

so i gave the plaindeck.lua as an eg cause it replaces enhancers.lua

[rocky vapor]

context.other_joker.config.center.rarity == 3

i'm fairly certain this is it

i just took it from the base game code though (from baseball card specifically)

[ancient junco]

ah ok ty

[hardy brook]

ah

[ancient junco]

wait so how would i check for a specific joker?

do i just replace other_joker for the number

[rocky vapor]

rarity 3 is rare

[ancient junco]

no, i know that

im just checking for a specific joker

[rocky vapor]

ohh

a specific rare joker?

[ancient junco]

no just checking if there is a joker in the hand that is rare

        if context.v.config.center.rarity == 3 then```

[rocky vapor]

ahhh i see

i'm not sure

[cosmic shell]

Card:add_to_deck is run when a joker is added, if you're still looking.

[ancient junco]

ok ty

is g.jokers.card.rarity a table?

[white forge]

I was just trying to figure out how to replace textures that weren't just the faces of the cards in the deck. Specifically enhancers, seals, UI elements, etc. I want my Twitch viewers to be able to put their emotes and stuff on my cards.

[hardy brook]

No worries

[rare shell]

tried this just now, didnt work sadly

also

i actually have not coded this second ability and i have to ask, how would you be able to check end of round hand? its not calculate dollar bonus, is it?

[uncut terrace]

Probably in Card:calculate_joker under context.end_of_round && not context.blueprint ?

if alloyed joker:
G.GAME.dollar_buffer = (G.GAME.dollar_buffer or 0) + self.ability.extra

or whatever you named it, something like that

[haughty hinge]

so does it completely reverse both enhancements in terms of effect or is it like a bonus

[rare shell]

bonus

where is the hand stored by the way?

as in held cards
