[knotty fable]

imagine this..... A deck called the angelic deck

[split drift]

Ohhh

Imagine, i have an apk...

[knotty fable]

This deck has only numbers that is angelic in nature so no 9 no 7 no 6s

Steammoded isn't working for me (BC antivirus)

[rare shell]

imagine reading the rules

[cosmic shell]

It is possible but:
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1212395714920054864

Do not discuss porting balatro to other platforms

[split drift]

😬

[knotty fable]

<~> literally no one reads rules

[split drift]

Obviously

[rare shell]

that sounds like a you problem

[tidal ice]

how do you disable antivirus

[knotty fable]

The first thing I did was read the rules and I don't even see a reason to talk about that anyway

[split drift]

Exactly

[knotty fable]

.....

Ok then

[knotty fable]

I'm gonna loose it lmfao

[stable pike]

Random question.
Is there a mod that lowers the curve of endless? As in doesn’t get so hard so quick

[rare shell]

[stable pike]

Thx Lyman!

[rapid epoch]

Ayo, I'm using Sound_Util and I want to add sound effects to other cards besides Tarot
Where does balatro internally reference the names of cards? Is it literally just plain text whatever the card is called?

[knotty fable]

I wish I knew a modder that would take on the task in making cursed card as a separate thing from upgrade s (and whatever Polly's are) lol 🤣 and make a couple jokers based on curses and add one tarot and spectral card one to possibly add a curse with great value to the card and the other to remove unwanted curses

[cosmic shell]

there's a big ol list called P_CENTERS in game.lua that has the internal name for every card, as well as a bunch of other metadata. but it is usually just the english name yes

[rapid epoch]

oh, groovy

I'm building off of @gleaming talon ' sound utils and jojo mod to make a mod to play The Binding of Isaac voiceovers when using certain consumable cards

The Tarots are straightforward but if any Isaac fans have suggestions for runes/souls/others to use for the Spectral Cards I would be thrilled

[echo hatch]

which modloader has better mods?

[knotty fable]

Well its like fabric versus forge

It has its benefits and it's downsides

[stone brook]

steamodded has been around longer, so it has more mods

personally used balamod for my mods since i prefer its utility 👍

[knotty fable]

Exactly like java and fabric

[gleaming talon]

I'm working on a way to block sounds and also block sound and play another one instead

[dusky reef]

[very bad idea]

[cosmic shell]

probably a bit legally grey from a copyright stand point

[dusky reef]

so technicially as long as you don't break anything you can just add a line or two to the og function

[dusky reef]

trueeeeeeeeeeeeee

i didn't say anything then

[cosmic shell]

that's also kind of what balamod (and lovely) allows you to do where you can inject code into the middle of a function (without rewriting it of course)

[dusky reef]

yeah i figured.. the thing is we are at a point that for the mod to be more compatible, smod seems to be favourable

[cosmic shell]

lovely at least doesn't have the same compat issues as balamod, because it already runs before any lua is executed so it doesn't encounter issues with overridden functions

evident from the fact steamodded can be trivially installed as a lovely patch

[dusky reef]

actually now that i think about it i don't really rely much on smod itself in my mod code, still have been reading G most of the time

if only people can make a even cleaner framework that unites the two...

i thought somebody's been doing that tho

[cosmic shell]

(there are now three competing standards)

[dusky reef]

[jolly kiln]

there are now 5 competing standards.

[dusky reef]

there are now 10 competing standards.

[jolly kiln]

yknow what

screw you

20 competiting standards.

[dusky reef]

[jolly kiln]

(video in the 90s and 2000s was like this)

[dusky reef]

40 competing standards!

[white scarab]

naneinf competing standards

[dusky reef]

oh no you beat the game

[jolly kiln]

10e307 competing standards

ive now read competing so much it looks spelled wrong spelled correctly

[dusky reef]

you did spell wrong once

[jolly kiln]

nuh uh

[dense dock]

having this error with im pretty sure mikas mod idk whats causing it tho, also a screenshot of my mods folder

if anyone knows why this would happen or if this is a common issue

just seems to be a visual bug

[dusky reef]

loaded wrong argument for rendering messages

[dense dock]

is that a bug with the mod or something on my end

[dusky reef]

if it is not intentional then yes it will be a visual bug

[cosmic shell]

it's likely a compatability error, hard to say without looking at each mod individually

[dusky reef]

^

[dense dock]

alright ill just take them out one by one and see if i can figure out which one it is

[dusky reef]

you can comment in the mod release thread to confirm whether this is the case across the board

#1215775159638818826 message

[cosmic shell]

my guess is that community pack is the culprit, since that's the only balamod mod there i think

[dense dock]

yea that was it just got it

didnt know it was balamod

probably shoulda payed more attention lol

[west pecan]

🤔 code is right... ability.extra.dollars... are you up to date ? (2hours ago)

[wet fable]

so i downloaded steamodded from the github and it just deleted itself

hmm

[west pecan]

bankerJoker = {
        ability_name = "MMC The Banker",
        slug = "mmc_banker",
        ability = { extra = { dollars = 2 } },
        rarity = 1,
        cost = 5,
        unlocked = true,
        discovered = true,
        blueprint_compat = true,
        eternal_compat = true
    },



elseif self.ability.name == 'MMC The Banker' then
            loc_vars = { self.ability.extra.dollars }



bankerJoker = {
        name = "The Banker",
        text = {
            "Earn {C:money}$#1#{} for every",
            "{C:attention}Gold Seal{} and {C:attention}Gold card{}",
            "at end of round"
        }
    },```

[wet fable]

is it possible that my windows defender is flagging the steamodded injector?

[west pecan]

So I guess it's in your side, not the mod @dense dock

[cosmic shell]

not possible, almost guaranteed, that injector flags antivirus' like it's going out of style. if you continue to struggle getting it to work, you could try installing steamodded with lovely which uses a dll instead, there's a tutorial for that in the modding forum.

[wet fable]

im just reading up on that

i think my defender just autodeletes the injector exe

by modding forum you mean #1209506514763522108 ?

[cosmic shell]

yeah

[wet fable]

thanks🙏

[west pecan]

Disable real time defender 5min

[wet fable]

but itll just autodelete it next time i turn it on so idk

id have to keep redownloading

trying lovely rn!

[umbral pilot]

let me know if defender flags the lovely dll

[west pecan]

Once installed ? Weird

[wet fable]

not so far! im creating the mod folder and starting game soon

[umbral pilot]

it's funny because in theory Lovely is just as sus as the injector

I think what gets flagged is the shell exec + exe patching

and http query for 7z

[cosmic shell]

my running theory is that it's because it's an exe with embedded python, lots of malware likes to take that form too i hear

[gusty fulcrum]

Gold stake getting changed to white stake. is this likely a problem with modloader, or a specific mod I am using?

[umbral pilot]

it's likely just a perfect combination of sus behavior

[gusty fulcrum]

I am playing with @coral shale 's score preview mod

[coral shale]

Hmm, probably something to do with how I change the UI to display the score. No clue exactly how it works and how to fix it 🤷‍♂️ 😥

[shy ibex]

I have Balamod and Steammodded both downloaded. What kind of problems could that lead to? Aside from the text in top-right corner copying Baldi's Basics Q3.

[wet fable]

nothing flagged and the inject seems to have worked but none of the mods are loaded

most likely me being an idiot though

[cosmic shell]

some balamod mods will probably break some steamodded mods

[wet fable]

am i doing anything wrong here

just downloaded some random ones to try out

maybe its too many at once

[cosmic shell]

There should be a folder for steamodded in there, if you're using lovely.

[wet fable]

Ohh hmm i mustve missed that

ill check the installation again

[umbral pilot]

yeah, looks like you skipped the steamodded install step

[wet fable]

me dumb

sorry

[umbral pilot]

you're fine :-)

it's somewhat tricky atm to get right

[wet fable]

at least it doesnt autodelete

it worked now

thanks kings

[umbral pilot]

good idea

[shy ibex]

Is there a way to unload Balamod/Steammodded?

[dense dock]

so i tried out that mod that lowers the ante scaling...

think imma be done there

its only like XXe12 on ante 39 so you can get to like 50 probably

incase anyone was wondering if u buy all vouchers you just get blank voucher in the rest of the shops

[woeful finch]

that's why normal endless has exponential scaling: to prevent people from burning out from the game after playing hours for one match

[coral shale]

Unrelated, but I'm so happy to see my preview mod being used already ❤️

Lmk if you find bugs 😄

[coral shale]

I think the scaling is a bit too rough past Ante 15 or so, tbh. I could do with some leniency to be able to have some flexibility in later-mid-game decks

[shy ibex]

Hot take:
I think the game should still have exponential scaling, but less than 1000^x. maybe 10^x?

[coral shale]

I wouldn't decrease it that drastically

[shy ibex]

Maybe 50^x?

[coral shale]

I think it should not be a strict math function. Antes 1-8 are great, 8-12 are also fine, but I would slow down the increase between 12-16, to make the second boss more reachable, and then make it go sicko mode

[shy ibex]

Oh, so like in BTD6?

[coral shale]

I wouldn't know lol

[shy ibex]

Late-game ramping is linear, but it grows every 50 rounds.

[coral shale]

Nah, I'd make everything past Ante 16 exponential

You could maybe decrease the rate of increase but increase the appearance of bosses to make it more interesting

[shy ibex]

I like the latter. My idea would be:
First major boss (Cerulean Bell, Verdant Leaf, etc.) still appears on Ante 8,
second one appears on Ante 15 (1 Ante earlier),
then each major boss comes every 5 Antes after that (A20, A25, A30, etc.).

[woeful finch]

the scaling is definetely not 1000^x, a formula is used

#1184574232617828464 message

(A) * ((B + (K*C))^2) ^ C
A = Ante 8 amount, 80,000 for example
B = 1.75
C = Ante amount past 8, so Ante 10 would be C = 2
K = insane scaling factor

[willow sonnet]

can anyone help me figure out why steammod isnt working? i drag balatro to the exe, it open and closes, and when i open balatro the mod isnt working

using jelly mod fyi

[shy ibex]

Anyways, I'm looking for some help on trying to get a custom deck to work properly for me.
I made a deck that is essentially all decks in the base game (without drawbacks) put together; however since I have both Balamod & Steammod downloaded at once, the custom deck is doing double duty in places where it shouldn't be:
instead of getting 2 Fools and 1 Hex, I get 2x as many;
when I play a hand, the Plasma property happens 2x (essentially averaging out the Chips and Multiplier twice, which is idempotent [same power]);
when I beat a boss, I get 2 Double Tags instead of 1 (which can be broken AF).

Look in the upper-right corner for overlapping text.

[strong swift]

then dont download both?

there's an easy solution here

[shy ibex]

How can I uninstall Balamod?

[strong swift]

verify game integrity

[shy ibex]

Thanks!

[hexed surge]

i think i broke balatro

lol

[glad sedge]

guys if i set the interest to:

does it mean that when i add the two vouchers 100 is the new cap?

then it gets confusing when code says:

v_money_tree= {order = 22, discovered = false, unlocked = false, available = true, cost = 10, name = "Money Tree", pos = {x=1,y=3}, set = "Voucher", config = {extra = 100}, requires = {'v_seed_money'},unlock_condition = {type = 'interest_streak', extra = 10}},
v_seed_money= {order = 21, discovered = false, unlocked = true , available = true, cost = 10, name = "Seed Money", pos = {x=1,y=2}, set = "Voucher", config = {extra = 50}},

50 extra, and 10 extra? what is going on?

[rigid jewel]

Every 1 dollar of interest is 5$, so if the interest cap is 10 then 50$ is required to meet it.

Game calcs interest as G.GAME.interest_amount*math.min(math.floor(G.GAME.dollars/5), G.GAME.interest_cap/5)

And G.GAME.interest_cap is set to the extra value in both those vouchers when redeemed

In this case, it doesn't matter. The game overrides it when either voucher is redeemed

[glad sedge]

thank you

do you think there is a way to change the code so 100 met after buying the two vouchers? woudl that be too complex code?

[vivid mortar]

hey this seems like the right place to ask; has anyone written an explanation for what's what in profile.jkr? specifically i want to know where joker stake sticker data is.

[cunning silo]

It would be interesting to try and analyze it actually XD

I know it’s compressed

[vivid mortar]

if i open it as bz2 it's recognized as an archive

but it's exactly the same file 🤔

actually it looks like that's just ark filling stuff in
try it from terminal, no dice

it looks like either it's not compressed, it's compressed in some strange format, or it's encrypted for some reason

well it looks like someone has indeed figured it out

balatro.exe can straight up just be unzipped as 7z so maybe there are clues there

aha
the get_deck_win_sticker function in misc_functions

[vivid mortar]

okay poking around a little more there's compression going on for sure

aha
found it

oh it's just raw zlib
yknow i really should have guessed that

oh wait looking at all this modding the game is..... really easy actually

nice

[vivid mortar]

huh
it isn't even though love wiki says it is
now i'm confused

oooooh wait i misread it

well okay looks like you just have to decompress it with deflate

(note for future: most online decompressors will expect base64)

[stone brook]

how many hands is there on average in a run?

i know it depends on your deck and all but just on average

[vivid mortar]

assuming about 4 skips and an average of 2 hands per round, 40 at the end of ante 8

i have no idea how close that is to the real average but it should be in that ballpark

[stone brook]

alright yea that makes sense, ty ty

[rare shell]

Does anyone know if the sprite of the card is separate object/child of the card itself?

[cunning silo]

I think it is

[rare shell]

if it is, what is the name of it?

I kinda can't find it

[cunning silo]

I am not home rn, so I can’t check, but try to look into card.draw or card.set_sprites

[stone brook]

self.children.center, im pretty sure

its defined in card.set_sprites yea

[rare shell]

I don't think that's it, I tried used self.children.center:juice_up() and the sprite did nothing

[stone brook]

youre not supposed to juice_up the sprite, you juice_up the card

[rare shell]

well in my case I need to juice_up the sprite

[stone brook]

wouldnt juice_up on the sprite mean using juice_up on the card 🤔

[rare shell]

I mean yeah but I also added another child to the card and I don't want it to be affected by parent's shaking

[stone brook]

Sprite objects dont have a juice_up function, only the Card object does

you could try 'manually' juicing up

[rare shell]

oh I entierly forgot that some functions require specific objects

yeah I know what to do now

ty!

[stone brook]

👍

[vivid mortar]

so, a quick primer on what's in profile.jkr for future reference: first off is hands. Pretty self explanatory. Hand name, number of times played. After that we have some miscellaneous "best ever" stats that are also pretty self-explanatory. Next is consumables, with two fields. Count is number of times used, order is where it appears in the collection screen. This goes for vouchers too. Also in the consumables section we have "all time" stats like money spent, face cards played, etc.
Next up is decks, and this is where things start to get a little more complicated. Here's an example:
["b_checkered"]={["count"]=1,["wins"]={[2]=1,[5]=1,[3]=1,[1]=1,[4]=1,[6]=1,},["order"]=10,["losses"]={[7]=4,[5]=1,[3]=1,}
As you can see here, the first field is the deck name, so we can tell we're looking at stats for the checkered deck. Second, we have the wins section, where we have the numbers in the brackets representing stake (1 is white, 2 is red, 3 is green, etc) and the number after the equals sign is the number of wins on that stake. Second section is order again, which is 10 here, and if we go to the new game selection, sure enough, checkered is the 10th one over. Last is the losses section, which follows the same rule as the wins section. So put that all together and we see that I've won once on every stake from white to purple with this deck, but failed once on green, once on blue, and 4 times on orange.
Last of all we have jokers, which work on just about the same lines. Ex:
["j_vampire"]={["count"]=180,["wins"]={[2]=3,[3]=1,[1]=3,[4]=1,[6]=1,},["order"]=68,["losses"]={[1]=6,[5]=1,[4]=1,},} shows that it's the 68th card in the collection screen, i've won with it thrice on red stake, lost six times on white stake, etc. Count is unique here, it shows the number of rounds completed with the joker instead of times used like with consumables or vouchers.

[sonic pollen]

What format is a .jkr file?

It's clearly not plaintext

if I had to guess it's some object notation

what app should I open one with

[vivid mortar]

it's compressed with the DEFLATE algorithm

online converters exist but they expect it in base64 usually so what i did was open it with a hex editor, copy everything, convert to base64, and plug it into one of those

it's just gzip without a header so i'm sure there's some command to just do it without all that but i'm not sure what it is

[stone brook]

does anyone know what happens if you use a soul card while having every legendary joker

[vivid mortar]

iirc you get jimbo

[stone brook]

does he do anything or does he just jimbo

[vivid mortar]

he's just jimbo, the default joker
+4 mult

[stone brook]

oh that jimbo alright

ty ty

[gleaming talon]

I don't understand why ?

I'm doing something like that, why would it have legal repercussion ?

[lean dune]

is this about the no debugging of source code rule?

that one makes no sense and no one knows what it's supposed to mean exactly

my guess it was supposed to be about decompilation, but the source code is no longer compiled to begin with

so don't worry about it

[round ore]

It's more about the legality of intelectual property rights

[lean dune]

at core, sure

that directly implies no redistribution

[round ore]

Software is split into two things. The product the consumer gets and what makes that product (the code). If you buy the product you aren't entitled to the code unless its expressly granted in the terms.

So even though the code isn't compiled, you're still not entitled to it as that is the property of the programmer, or if there is another legal entity involved which supersedes the individuals rights

[lean dune]

but regarding "debugging", the game exe is literally a copy of the game's source code

and thunk definitely doesn't mean we're not allowed to inspect the source code you can literally just extract from the SFX

[round ore]

There is various legal clauses for reverse engineering depending on where abouts you are, and the softwares legal distrubution rights. So yes, looking is fine. But basically debugging creates a copy of that program and is essentially classed as piracy.

It gets tougher to argue with languages which aren't compiled, but the precident is that running decompiled code, even if debugging, is piracy and thus should be avoided

The laws around it are mostly designed to protect against loss of revenue so don't really care about if a programming language is build into a distro or if its running through an interpreter. It's just "you ran it, you're guilty of piracy"

With games, you also have the legal president of game systems are often IP in themselves. So it then is even worse for you to be reverse engineering stuff.

In a legal defense in that situation you best hope you're doing it to expose predatory mechanics or its going to be a very expensive time

The laws and precident around it are archaic and view software similar to a factory. So the law treats it like "just because you bought a car, it doesn't mean you're entitled to enter the factory, and certainly not allowed to tinker with things in that factory"

I don't agree with it, and on principle I make sure all code I write is able to be open source. But it's the way the law is. It's best to be careful around stuff, as getting cease and desists or other legal things is intimating and expensive

[past tendon]

Is there a way at the moment to include a new rank without breaking compatibility with other mods ?
I have a joker concept revolving around number 13 cards but I don't want to include it if it breaks other joker/decks mods.

[lean dune]

yeah, I made a whole playing card API for steamodded, which allows you to add both new suits and ranks

[past tendon]

I'll check it out, thanks

[cunning silo]

Do you think adding a new consumable type would hog the consumable slots too much, or do you think it’s fine?

[vivid mortar]

probably okay
especially if it doesn't show up in shop by default like spectrals

[runic kraken]

I dont think so, you use most consumables asap anyway, I guess

I did not check yet, but do we have an easy way to add custom booster packs? I want to try to make a booster that only includes Themed Jokers Jokers for example

[cunning silo]

Probably yeah, but I will have to check on that further

[gleaming talon]

oh oh, rip compatibility with seal maybe

[lean dune]

haven't looked into that at all yet, but with how everything's coming along, an API for it isn't out of the question

[cunning silo]

It won’t be that hard

Oh BTw next update of FederAPI will have seals, planets, and spectrals

And maybe boosters if I will get them to work

[lean dune]

i was just about to ask about planets lmao

I'm gonna try and figure out a priority system for mod loading

[cunning silo]

The way I update FederAPI was by checking what my mods (MusicalSuit, FederRandos, and a secret one for now) need, and add that

But yeah i can add planets

[lean dune]

I'd just implement it myself otherwise, but there's no need if you're already on it

[gleaming talon]

I need to understand how the shop works better, I would love to be able to debug that mf XD

[cunning silo]

I’ll be on it at the evening. I am not near a pc rn

[runic kraken]

looking forward to that. I would have no idea where to start , if i had to add that on my own

[cunning silo]

If actually pretty simple

I already know how consumables are configured, and I can just modify my present registers to accommodate for it

Since all registers follow a similar format

[rare shell]

Is it possible to inject into localization files?

[gleaming talon]

with lovely injector for sure

[rare shell]

without it?

actually I'm trying to figure out where the localize() function comes from and I checked every file and couldn't find it

[runic kraken]

its in misc_functions.lua, I think

[rare shell]

oh yeah, thank you!

[rough horizon]

how do I check if all the scoring of the played hand is already done? I feel like i've tried every combination of contexts there is, but my Joker always triggers before the final score of the hand is calculated

[gleaming talon]

I use vscode with it's global search function

[rare shell]

I use vscode too but I never actually unarchived the files

[gleaming talon]

you should

makes research way easier

[umbral delta]

hello, it's me again, i cant instal/download the steamodded injector thing on any browser, it always says virus detected

does anyone know a fix?

[lean dune]

use firefox

also use the lovely injector

[gleaming talon]

also press keep if popup

[umbral delta]

i'll try

[round ore]

Using the ps script is a good way around it

[gleaming talon]

Why is the first one nil

even though

wait

isn't it sound_args.sound_code

[lean dune]

sounds like it should be

[gleaming talon]

rookie mistake lmao

working with tables inside a table messed me up XD

[round ore]

https://tenor.com/view/beastieboys-dancing-dancingin-the-subway-gif-5235615

[gleaming talon]

I've finished my Custom playing sound API and I'm pretty happy with myself,
I have :

• Autoloading sounds in a folder and autodefine sound_code to play them based on their name
• Playing a custom sound by calling it's sound_code and you can modulate it's volume and pitch
• Stopping a base game sound called by the game from it's sound_code
• Call a custom sound when a base game sound gets called with the possibility to modulate sound and pitch

[sinful bridge]

hey, apologies if this is explained somewhere. not very knowledgeable on github/modding, any idea how i install balamod?

[rough horizon]

I believe there are fairly detailed instructions on the Balamod github page https://github.com/UwUDev/balamod

i think i'm getting there

[sinful bridge]

do i need to run this or sm?

[rough horizon]

if the instructions say so, I guess. I haven't used balamod myself yet

[sinful bridge]

really sorry man i have no idea how code or any of this stuff works

[sinful bridge]

thats literally all it says for easy install 😭

so confusing

[rough horizon]

that's probably all you need to do then

[sinful bridge]

would i run it in command prompt?

[rough horizon]

yes

maybe, i don't know lol

[gleaming talon]

It's made by UwUDev... shit I should have modded on balamod

[rough horizon]

same

[sinful bridge]

where do i paste this

[round ore]

It's a description of the file structure. The indentations represent folders or files and the roaming/Balatro is the games main folder structure

[tall seal]

what 💀

[gleaming talon]

depending on how you handle the 2%, like 0.98 * 0.98 or 2+2
If you do 2+2 etc you can go up to 100% if you're lucky enough

and 0.98 * 0.98 is a real 2% decrease each time

[rough horizon]

it's just flat 2% less every time

so it goes from 75% to 73%

[gleaming talon]

Yeah

you shouldn't do that

XD

just multiply by 0.98 each time

[hardy brook]

I haven't coded it in but

[rough horizon]

good point

[gleaming talon]

Well you do what you want but multiplying by 0.98 will avoid it reaching 0% too fast

or stupidly low %

[rough horizon]

yeah, I was also worried about it reaching the lose treshold of 25% lol

[gleaming talon]

Yeah if it's 0 you can either instantly loose or instantly win

XD

[tidal ice]

lol, all that for +5 mult

[hardy brook]

it was a test, okay?

I'm still finetuning it

Ignore that it's orange x2

Just messing around with the text is all

Trying to find the right balance

[tidal ice]

That's better, plus come to think of it, if you can easily make glass cards (which this Joker does) it doesn't matter if they die immediately

As long as you don't run out of cards

[hardy brook]

yeah

Just found out in the localization that the border of the mult is just part of the font so it can be color changed too

you can do cursed stuff like this

[sinful bridge]

do you know how i download center hook?

[grand geode]

so in theory if i get this on a1 then at a13 it gets to 0%

[gleaming talon]

Yeah that's why I asked him to change it

now on ante 13 if you get it ante 1 it'll be 0.40 (with the 2 vouchers that reduce the ante by 1)

[fervent owl]

why would you even need x2 mult there 🤔

is it supposed to be "this joker isn't that good, but X2 mult so you would want to pick it up"

[hardy brook]

i dunno

I'm just trying to make a joker with code right now

I'm not trying to make anything good/bad, I just wanna MAKE the thing

[torpid lava]

So I have a really peculiar problem. I downloaded steamodded last night and then it worked. I got a mod on it, but then I cannot find the file to place more mods into. I even asked here, and it seemed everyone I asked was stumped, so I just deleted steammodded and deleted Balatro and reinstalled it and now I for the life of me cannot figure out how to make it work again.

[hardy brook]

It was supposed to be originally a specific type of card but I don't know how to do that

[grand geode]

Certificate adds cards to hand

[gleaming talon]

https://github.com/Infarcactus/Balatro-Custom-Sound-Player/tree/main

I've finished My custom playing sound

it should do basicly everything you want to do with sound in the game

[umbral basin]

Hi. I just started the modding of Balatro. I wanna know is it possible to launch the game with Steamodded + Balamod mods?

[gleaming talon]

It's possible

but it's also very possible your game crashes

so not recommended at all

[umbral basin]

I had that fear, I guess i will just have to make "mod" packs and switch from time to time

[grand geode]

yes but there will be no support if anything breaks

[gleaming talon]

Myst

did you try to mess with the shop_update function or with the shop at all ?

[grand geode]

i did not

the most i touched is the pack opening function

[gleaming talon]

frick

wel I'm a pioneer

but the function is really scary I don't understand everything lmao

[cunning silo]

i cannot find this method

[gleaming talon]

update_shop

my bad

Game:update_shop

in main.lua iirc

[cedar comet]

So I recently installed Steamodded using the Lovely Injector after having done it the "classic" way before, and installed a few new mods.

But now I'm getting this error.

[lean dune]

looks like an incomplete install of one of your mods. Mind showing me your mods folder so we can figure out which mods are affected?

[cedar comet]

Sure.

[lean dune]

phew, that's a lot

there's not supposed to be an assets folder directly in your mods directory, all mods that have assets should go into a separate subdirectory

iirc FrenchTarotCavalierCard should have assets...

[cosmic shell]

that's probably the culprit since "8bitdeck" is the name of playing card art file

[cedar comet]

Alright, I'll reinstall it and see if that fixes the problem

That did it! Thanks y'all

[gleaming talon]

😉

[cedar comet]

No idea how I installed the Cavalier mod wrong like that but now it's installed correctly and Balatro launches as it should

[gleaming talon]

when there's more than 1 thing in the installation put it into a fodler

[grand geode]

watch as it breaks again due to all the mods

[hardy brook]

Welp, I still don't know how to bugfix this

but I'll do it in a bit

Plus I gotta add the function to shatter glass cards after scored

    local loc_def = {
        MurphyLaw = {
        ["name"] = "Murphy's Law",
        ["text"] = {
            [1] = "{X:red,C:white}X2{} Mult",
            [2] = "When Round begins add a random {C:attention}Glass Card{} to your hand",
            [3] = "Scored {C:attention}Glass Cards{} break after poker hand"
        }
    }
    }

    -- SMODS.Joker:new(name, slug, config, spritePos, loc_txt, rarity, cost, unlocked, discovered, blueprint_compat, eternal_compat)
    local MurphyLaw = SMODS.Joker:new(
        "Murphy's Law", --name
        "MurphyLaw", --slug
        {extra = {j_MurphyLaw = true}}, --config
        {x = 0, y = 0}, --spritePos
        loc_def.MurphyLaw, --loc_txt
        2, --rarity
        5, --cost
        true, --unlocked
        true, --discovered
        true, --blueprint_compat
        true --eternal_compat
    )
    MurphyLaw:register()
    SMODS.Sprite:new("j_MurphyLaw", SMODS.findModByID("MurphyLaw").path, "j_MurphyLaw.png", 71, 95, "asset_atli"):register()
end

SMODS.Jokers.j_MurphyLaw.effect = function(self, context)
    if context.first_hand_drawn then
        if self.ability.name == "Murphy's Law" then
            G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
                func = function() 
                    local _card = create_playing_card({
                        front = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CARDS, pseudoseed('Murphy')), 
                        center = G.P_CENTERS.m_glass}, G.hand, nil, nil, nil)
                end
        }))
            G.hand:sort()
            if context.blueprint_card then context.blueprint_card:juice_up() else self:juice_up() end
            return true
        end
    end
end```

I never used the joker API before

[gleaming talon]

I have the jokers stats ! :
70% common
25% uncommon
5% rare

in the shop

[cosmic shell]

The assignment of the effect function is happening before you register the joker, move that inside of the init function

[grand geode]

Steamodded automatically adds j_ in front of the joker name

but idk why it's niling

[cedar comet]

Well some of my mods just aren't working anymore, like the Neow Blessings mod.

[gleaming talon]

I present to you the showmann check

[strong falcon]

Does anyone know where cards get (vertically) centered, like Half Joker for example? This code only seems to stretch the card out (from Card:set_ability)

    if center.name == "Half Joker" and (center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then 
        H = H/1.7
        self.T.h = H
    end

[hardy brook]

Like this?

[gleaming talon]

it doesn't strecth

it divides it's H by 1.7

[cosmic shell]

pretty much, you might need to put the register line above the effect function, just to be sure.

[gleaming talon]

What the game does when the pool is empty

[strong falcon]

Well if I inject into the function and copy the same code but for my joker, it ends up looking like this

local set_abilityref = Card.set_ability
function Card:set_ability(center, initial, delay_sprites)
    local X, Y, W, H = self.T.x, self.T.y, self.T.w, self.T.h

    if center.name == "MMC Incomplete Joker" and (center.discovered or self.bypass_discovery_center) then
        H = H / 1.7
        self.T.h = H
    end

    set_abilityref(self, center, initial, delay_sprites)
end

It does get centered to be fair, but it's also squished

[gleaming talon]

did you look at the original file of Half Joker ?

[cunning silo]

Feder is figuring stuff out...

[gleaming talon]

ohh tags right ?

[cunning silo]

no

I am using that as placeholder XD

[gleaming talon]

idk then

oh so it was the right thing

[lean dune]

oh what's that

[cunning silo]

i mean kinda yeah

[gleaming talon]

I was searching for the difference with the IG one

[cunning silo]

it opens the tarot menu rn

[lean dune]

I see that

but what's it a placeholder for?

a new consumable type?

[gleaming talon]

maybe maybe

https://tenor.com/view/cooking-hype-wait-penguin-cook-gif-15327874777766683182

[cunning silo]

yup

[lean dune]

neat

[cunning silo]

I think I goofed up

[lean dune]

nah that seems pretty alright

just a bit empty

[gleaming talon]

pool manipulation, done

[cunning silo]

ooh that's neat!

could you send the code you used?

[gleaming talon]

well now I need to make it do what I want lmao

I just putted not(_pool_size == 0) instead of _pool_size == 0

I'm still testing but I've confirmed that it works

and that it's the right function that gets called : get_current_pool

I wonder what would happen if I replaced everything with a joker

Yeah if you replace tag it's not a good idea

as long as you don't hover on skip blind

you can get through

That's a nice voucher

you can buy it and it goes where it needs to

that's cool

that cpuld be a very neat idea for a special joker that can only go here

[lean dune]

oh no

[gleaming talon]

wdym oh no ?

[lean dune]

jimbo took over everything

[gleaming talon]

wdym I only see blank now

[lean dune]

now replace the packs too

[gleaming talon]

it's not the same function sadly but I probably could

[strong falcon]

So close yet so far 😔

[gleaming talon]

https://tenor.com/view/venti-sad-emo-emo-venti-sad-venti-gif-22309461

[cunning silo]

venti jumpscare XD

[gleaming talon]

You'll get it eventually, I believe in you

[sand thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-blink-blinkingcat-cute-funny-gif-8859604814399687515

why are you floating out there

[lean dune]

lmao

[sand thicket]

Neat seeing the pools messed with, wondering how difficult adding shop slots/functionality would be

[gleaming talon]

adding shop slots seems pretty easy

[grand geode]

huh why does the shop only have booster packs

[gleaming talon]

as long as it has a price I can add it

[lean dune]

so for no reason at all, black hole and soul will surely also work

[gleaming talon]

hum

wouldn't be so sure

[lean dune]

they have a price

[gleaming talon]

hmm

[lean dune]

you just never see it in game

but they do

the only reason they don't show up in shops is not being added to any pools

[white scarab]

Nice voucher

[lean dune]

oh yes

[gleaming talon]

it just works

[lean dune]

finally we can perkeo infinite black holes

[gleaming talon]

if you modify this line with ghost deck you should be able to see them in the shop (I think)

and maybe also in booster spectrals

[cold barn]

I've seen mentions of people working on a multiplayer mod (reddit and here), has there been any progress? Have been thinking about building/working on one myself, but would prefer to contribute to an existing effort if it exists.

[gleaming talon]

They don't talk that much about it from what I've seen here

maybe someone know if you can contact them in discord or something ?

[late ledge]

sounds awesome

[runic kraken]

Is there an easy way to check if repetitions are triggered? This should work in therory, but you cant return a message for other jokers if repetitions = nil is returned while in context.repetition

     ---Cosmic - Virgo---
    SMODS.Jokers.j_cosmicvirgo.calculate = function(self, context)
        if  context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then 
            if (context.other_card:get_id() == 12) then --repeat played queens
                addcountertocosmic() --add 1 counter to Cosmic Jokers
                return {
                    message = localize('k_again_ex')..' +1 Cosmic',
                    colour=G.C.PURPLE,
                    repetitions = 1,
                    card = context.other_card
                }
            end
            for i= 1, #G.jokers.cards do --check if other Cosmic jokers would repeat and add counter
                other_joker = G.jokers.cards[i]
                if other_joker and other_joker ~= self and string.match(other_joker.ability.name,"Cosmic -")  then
                    local other_joker_ret = other_joker:calculate_joker(context)
                    if other_joker_ret then
                        addcountertocosmic() --add 1 counter to Cosmic Jokers
                        return {
                            message="+1 Cosmic",
                            colour=G.C.PURPLE,
                            card = self
                        }
                    end                    
                end
            end
        end
    end

[left ivy]

I believe somone else had a similar problem as this one time?

where having steammodded makes the game say the ace isnt there for some reason

[lean dune]

simple issue with my get_straight rewrite for the playing card API, I fixed this and put up a PR like a week ago, but it hasn't been merged yet due to Steamo being busy

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/34

[round ore]

tried to download base mod but my computer keeps detecting it as malware. help

[lean dune]

use the powershell injector or the lovely injector, the executable one is prone to being flagged by antivirus

[round ore]

on inspirion which works better

[lean dune]

both should be fine, but lovely doesn't modify the exe directly so you may have fewer issues with it

[river ledge]

Is Balatro's source code anywhere? I'd love to look into it

[strong swift]

yep, just extract balatro.exe with 7zip or whatever

[river ledge]

cool thanks

[stone brook]

ive made an api that does this on balamod, if you'd like to use it :3

[round ore]

since the post is flooded with comments anyone know a good walkthrough for installation

there are over 2000 comments

[coral shale]

Installation for what?

[round ore]

basemod

[coral shale]

Haven't heard of it, sorry

[strong swift]

balamod you mean?

or steamodded

[round ore]

steamodded

the basemod to mod balatro

[coral shale]

Oh, just read here: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded

[strong swift]

#1217867725532041369 message this guide is the most helpful i could find

[lean dune]

yeah that's not terminology people use. you can call it a mod loader, but we have two of those around here

[lean dune]

this^^

[strong swift]

i wouldn't recommend using the other injectors because antivirus issues, i've never gotten anything like that using lovely

[lean dune]

chrome might still not like to let you download it, but you should be fine just using firefox

[strong swift]

not the download thing, sometimes windef can block even using it

[lean dune]

for the other loaders, yeah

for lovely, I've heard chrome sometimes likes to block the download

[stone brook]

ive only had windef block steamodded, balamod worked perfectly fine for me

[cunning moth]

Hello

[lean dune]

yo

[round ore]

the first 2 won't download

[cunning moth]

After discarding all the shame that remained in me, I come to you asking for a mod that allow infinite money, is there such a thing ?

Short story : I once hit an e36 hand, and never managed to do it again, my frustration won over my integrity

[stone brook]

theres the debug mode mod

[lean dune]

#1209857245316255744

[round ore]

balamod work for windows?

[stone brook]

both work for windows, yea

[round ore]

the steamod can't download

[strong swift]

yeah but it's easily rightclickable to fix that

the others arent

[lean dune]

try following this

[lean dune]

yeah ofc it's a lot easier to make work

[cunning moth]

Just got the file, thank you, but I'm a bit daft when it come to modding a game, what do I do with that file ?

[lean dune]

do you have Steamodded installed yet?

[cunning moth]

Nope

[lean dune]

then go ahead and start by following this guide

[cunning moth]

Alrighty

[lean dune]

then you'll just need to drop the file in the Mods directory you installed the loader into

[cunning moth]

I hope to come back with a victorious report 🙂

Alright, steps has been followed, altough I don't know how to verify if I did it right

Do I just copy the LUA file into the mod folder ?

[lean dune]

yep

[cunning moth]

Alright, doing it

[lean dune]

then just hold tab in game to see an overview of the debug functions

[cunning moth]

And now I just start the game, whitout forgetting to look innocent

right ?

[lean dune]

yep

if everything worked, you should also see an fps counter in the top left corner

[cunning moth]

It does seems to works

thank you very much for your help and reactivity 🙂

[lean dune]

you're welcome :) be sure to check out some other mods as well

we got all sorts of fun stuff

[cunning moth]

Well, so far, I'm gonna land a score so high my computer's gonna crash, then I'll see 🙂

[lean dune]

at that rate you'll want #1216756203833524234... with what 64-bit floats got for you, you ain't gonna crash no computer

[cunning moth]

Let me dream 🙂

Also, it might take a while before I break the maximum by playing only with more money

[lean dune]

gl

[white scarab]

guess how this happened

[iron juniper]

This is fine

[white scarab]

any advice on what to do here?

[iron juniper]

I gotta be honest I'm not a programmer, but I think something might be a little bit off

[queen coyote]

whew

[lean dune]

oh no

[left ivy]

smh, why do we have scientific notation when we could have this

[lean dune]

play an even number of scoring non-aces, probably?

actually I think that other thing is an extra retrigger? then just don't play an ace ig

lmao

[dense dock]

is there a mod that adds new vouchers? or is that a thing people cant/havent done yet

and/or one that increases the chance for holo/foil/poly/negative jokers the higher the ante?

if not i think these are 2 pretty cool ideas

[white scarab]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1219749193204371456
One of the plans of this mod is Tier 3 Vouchers

[dense dock]

oooo that sounds fun ill deff be looking foward to that

[strong falcon]

Does anyone know how to return both chips and mult as seperate localize messages?

[river ledge]

I'm using steammodder and I am not sure how to view the debugger logs? They aren't going to localhost:12345 like I though. Do I need to enable something?

[lean dune]

if we're on the same page, debug messages can be viewed by running tk_debug_window.py, which you should find on thes steamodded github

[stone brook]

scholar and some other jokers do this, you can reference them for how

[strong falcon]

I've tried, but it seems to just show an empty message

[cunning silo]

Do we know if this error is common?

[rare shell]

How can I trigger Joker when it's added to your joker slots?

Like, the exact moment it's added

[stone brook]

do the cards properly give you chips & mult?

[gleaming talon]

You could probably hook some function

[stone brook]

if not, then you have the chips & mult variables wrong

[cosmic shell]

Card:add_to_deck i believe

[lean dune]

let me have a look

[cunning silo]

I have made a new card, and when I "discover" it, this error appears

[stone brook]

you gotta define atlas when making the object, i had a similar issue when implementing booster packs in my api

[cosmic shell]

does the atlas name set in the card match the atlas name of any of the custom atlases you've made?

[stone brook]

for boosters, the atlas is just "Booster"

[cunning silo]

i used the same methods jokers use with the API

[stone brook]

yea you cant

[lean dune]

you can probably make that work

[stone brook]

if you look in card.lua line 185, it uses _center.atlas instead of G.ASSET_ATLAS[_center.atlas] instead of whatever set it is

or line 174

[cunning silo]

I know

and the card's texture appears when it's "locked"

[lean dune]

this should be expandable to boosters without too much trouble

[stone brook]

oh is the card locked/undiscovered when you install

[cunning silo]

yup

when the card is being discovered in general the error jumps

[lean dune]

since the fallback 'centers' is there, probably getting rid of the set check might be fine

[stone brook]

is this the custom card type you're making?

[cunning silo]

yup

[stone brook]

if so, you need to edit line 174 to include your card type

[cunning silo]

but it's still a consumable, so it should be fine

its consumeable value is still true

[stone brook]

line 174 doesnt check if its a consumeable, it checks if _center.set is "joker", "edition", etc etc

[cunning silo]

ohhh i see

[lean dune]

it does

[stone brook]

it does check that it is a consumeable, but then when defining the atlas, it doesnt check

[cunning silo]

which is really odd

[stone brook]

so it gets to the sprite init then passes nil

[strong falcon]

Ah, it works in context.individual, just not for if SMODS.end_calculate_context(context) then

[lean dune]

oh that's peculiar

easiest way is probably to insert a line with a lovely patch, but preferably it can be made extensible in some way...

[stone brook]

:3 balamod injection also works

[lean dune]

yeah sure, minus the issue of compatibility of the mod loaders

[hardy brook]

How do I fix it?

[gleaming talon]

negative booster pack oooo

[hardy brook]

You have to give it cards

[lean dune]

probably you're not supposed to pass self to that

nvm

might be the wrong function

[hardy brook]

...

End me

[gleaming talon]

I may try, but no guarantee that I look at it or that it works

[lean dune]

it's definitely not taking 2 params

[hardy brook]

all I did was copy the Certificate effect in cards

[gleaming talon]

try G.context

[lean dune]

eh

have you looked at other joker mods?

cause I sure haven't, I ain't got no idea what's right or wrong about that

[hardy brook]

I don't even know if something HAS something like that

if it did, I wouldn't be making this mod to begin with because what's the point in me doing it if it is already done

Stupid idea

What if i add "if context.first_hand_drawn then --- Code"

[lean dune]

some quick research says the function you should be modifying is Card:calculate_joker

[hardy brook]

wait no i have thast

[gleaming talon]

try G.context

already said it but try it

[hardy brook]

I tried g.context

does not work

[gleaming talon]

it's G

not g

[cosmic shell]

this is wouldn't be correct

[hardy brook]

Yes

I know it's G not g

[gleaming talon]

k

[rigid jewel]

I think you're calling the function incorrectly

[hardy brook]

FLOWWEY, YOU'RE JOKER SMART

[lean dune]

.

[rigid jewel]

Isn't it supposed to be SMODS.Jokers.j_joker_slug.calculate?

[hardy brook]

okay but I don't know where the heck that goes

[lean dune]

let me send you somewhere

https://github.com/jamesthejellyfish/JellyMod/blob/main/JellyJokers.lua

line 216

[cosmic shell]

crimson is using the steamodded joker api, this is irrelevant

[rigid jewel]

Ok yeah this specific error is due to using effect instead of calculate

[hardy brook]

...

[rigid jewel]

Should look like this

[hardy brook]

welp

page loads

Now to put the challenge in for testing purposes

[white scarab]

Or debug mode

[hardy brook]

oh yeah

Okay debug mode it is then

I also need to add in the logic for scored glass cards and the 2x mult

Welp

Kapoot

game loads, Joker in play

Blind Starts

Crash

[gleaming talon]

context being rough lmao

[hardy brook]

Context making me want to 0 Hands

[runic kraken]

can you add stuff to the card ui like this?

or this?

[gleaming talon]

this I'm pretty sure yes

[rigid jewel]

Hmm

[gleaming talon]

This idk

[rigid jewel]

Lemme check how

[hardy brook]

want me to just send it to you Flowwey

[rare shell]

something?

[hardy brook]

Oh my gosh lol

[gleaming talon]

[hardy brook]

Here you are rebuilding Jimbo as a joker and I'm out here struggling MAKING GLASS CERTIFICATE BASICALLY

[lofty jungle]

the threads are a bit too long - how do you make mods? ik there are 2 mod loaders and that i need to use lua but that's it

and related, is there a template for joker art somewhere?

[lofty jungle]

epic

[gleaming talon]

Welcome to modding game

[rigid jewel]

Evil jonkler

[gleaming talon]

you know nothing and either you struggle or hope someone has done it and ask

[hardy brook]

Well I know a positive right now

The way Jelly did their mod makes it easier for me to port the jokers in Archived

[lofty jungle]

so other mods are good starting points?

[rare shell]

vineBlind

[hardy brook]

Since I don't have to do a bunch of converting from Default to Steamodded

[rare shell]

yeah, also the jokerapi example you can find on github of steamodded

[hardy brook]

For now I'm gonna work on archived i guess

[runic kraken]

any hint on where to start looking for that?

[rare shell]

it is mostly "trial and error and ask"

[lofty jungle]

oh dang there is an example thing in steamodded didn't notice that lol

[bold fiber]

Anyone has modded Superposition to wrap straights around?

By wrapping around I mean 32AKQ Straights

[gleaming talon]

did someone add a way to add a variable to G and save it in the save file ?

iirc it has been done so I'm asking

[lofty jungle]

how do you set up developing for steamodded? noticed it doesn't really seem to be anywhere

[rare shell]

what do you mean by that?

setting up the mod itself of?...

[lofty jungle]

like autocomplete in visual studio code

[gleaming talon]

you extract the game in a folder with 7-zip or something and open the folder with vscode

then open the file you wanna write your mod in

[rare shell]

ohhh you do that???

[gleaming talon]

it helps with autocompletion yes

[lofty jungle]

alrighty

[rare shell]

lol I've been doing this wrong all this time

[gleaming talon]

I've told you to extract the game XD

[lofty jungle]

although steamodded isn't downloading because chrome thinks it's a virus :D

[rare shell]

yeah but I thought that was only to search things

[lean dune]

stuff in G.GAME gets saved if I'm not mistaken

i might be, though

[lofty jungle]

had to use the powershell injector, that worked at least

[gleaming talon]

for example

Firch is stuff in G.Game saved automaticly or no ?

[rare shell]

I think it is, but I'd check the .lua that saves stuff (save manager?)

[gleaming talon]

I want to cheese proof my mod but it'll be hard if I don't save it frever

[umbral pilot]

imho mods should be saving things in cosaves, not within the save itself

but yeah afaik G.GAME is saved

[gleaming talon]

Yeah I understand why but 99.99% of the time if the modder wasn't stupid it won't have any impact

[cosmic shell]

G.GAME is temporary per run saves as well so it should be fine

[gleaming talon]

that's exactly what I wanted

[umbral pilot]

yeah, it's not a problem when you have a small amount of mods, but it becomes problematic the more you have

just takes one mistake for a save to go boom

[gleaming talon]

yup

[umbral pilot]

do any of the modloaders have cosaves atm? might be a fun project

[gleaming talon]

But since I force load something in the shop I wouldn't want that to be broken by mistake or something

[gleaming talon]

I don't think so

Where can I see the values of the save ? I don't remember there was a site to edit save etc

[umbral pilot]

there's this https://github.com/problemsalved/balatro_save_editor

[lofty jungle]

if i do this, how do i then make it an actual mod? what should my file structure look like?

[gleaming talon]

there are some example mods in steamodded I'm pretty sure

[umbral pilot]

afaik the save is just a zlib binary dump, so you can decompress it and poke around

[lofty jungle]

is it really just one lua file and a potential folder for assets?

[gleaming talon]

Assets it depends what you wanna do

but yeah 1 lua file

[past tendon]

I'm trying to include a new rank using the SMODS.Card:new_rank function . Things are working as expected, except for one major issue: game crashes when playing flush five or 5oak using that rank. Actually it doesn't even crash, it just freezes. I'll look into the code to understand what happens 🤔

[gleaming talon]

and respect the template

[lean dune]

that's not supposed to happen, I guess I didn't account for something in terms of hand calculation

get_X_same can't possible infloop though...

[rare shell]

Stupid question: is it possible to delay a function for some time?

[umbral pilot]

without blocking?

[lean dune]

a delay function exists, yeah

[gleaming talon]

Yup G.GAME is indeed saved

[lean dune]

looks like this, so it should be non-blocking

[gleaming talon]

and even G itself is saved

[lean dune]

does this happen consistently?

[cosmic shell]

if it works it works ig

[lean dune]

delay(3) will do

[gleaming talon]

I didn't use G I used G.GAME but it's good to know you know

is there a way to know if you're in the game menu with G or something ?

or know where you're currently at

[lean dune]

there's G.SETTINGS.paused, idk if you can know any more specific details

[gleaming talon]

that's a good beginning thx

[rare shell]

wait I think it still triggers the functions after the delay function

I mean before delay ended

[gleaming talon]

I'm not so sure

the only way to know is to try it

[rare shell]

I mean I tried

[gleaming talon]

ot you can use G.E_manager or something and tell him to do the code after 3sec

[cosmic shell]

yeah it's non-blocking, do the thing and do other things need to be events if they aren't already.

[stone brook]

make an event that has trigger='after' and delay='3'

[gleaming talon]

G.E_MANAGER:add_event(
Event({
trigger = 'after',
delay = 0.2,
func = function()
for k,v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
if v.seal== 'Black'then
v.seal=nil
end
end
return true
end
})
)

delay = 3 should do the trick

[autumn yew]

Hmm, having trouble detecting what types of plays can be made with the player's current held cards (i.e. on draw, "does hand contain X?")
A few types work, I've gotten success with Pair and Two Pair, but not with Flush.
Any ideas?
return next(originalResults["Two Pair"]) -- works
return next(originalResults["Flush"]) -- doesn't

[past tendon]

Yeah. Worth mentioning it happens before playing the hand, just selecting the 5th card freezes the game.

[lean dune]

try next(get_flush(hand)) maybe?

[lean dune]

mind sending the code over to me?

I'm thinking it's a weird edge case regarding get_straight

[autumn yew]

Ok, I did get partial results just now. All three selected cards should have been face down (I discarded 3, leaving the flush, drawn cards should be face down if the hand contains a flush)

[rare shell]

Is it possible to use already existing functions here?

[gleaming talon]

yes

[rare shell]

how?

[cosmic shell]

just use the name of the function like a variable, lua puts functions and variables in the same namespace

[gleaming talon]

just calls them

[autumn yew]

and looking for something more flexible than "just flushes", I want to check every hand type, as its going to be based on which ever ones have the highest base chips*mult

[gleaming talon]

my arrow is bad but you get the point

[lean dune]

oh I didn't quite get the context of what you were doing

[rare shell]

yep it worked, thanks!

[lean dune]

the way get_flush works is it returns an empty table if you give it more than 5 cards

[gleaming talon]

😉

[autumn yew]

of course it does

[lean dune]

even if the 8 cards you gave it do contain a flush

same with straights

[autumn yew]

whiiich is what evaluate_poker_hand relies on

explains why the first drawn card comes in face down but not the second

[lean dune]

there's no real base game effect that needs get_flush and get_straight returning nothing if passed too many cards, I don't think

I just don't really like the idea of potentially altering base-game behavior in the loader

[autumn yew]

interestingly, get_flush works just fine if the #hand > 5 is removed.

because the final check is if flush_count >= (5 - (four_fingers and 1 or 0)) then

[lean dune]

I would have expected it to

[gleaming talon]

that's why having a lot of modders that are really active and touch a lot of different things is really good

[autumn yew]

right, which just makes it weird that it just goes return nil if its passed more than 5 cards XD
its an edge case that is literally irrelevant to the base game

[gleaming talon]

it's a security

[lean dune]

haven't really thought about it since I couldn't think of a case where that matters

[gleaming talon]

when I make a mod or something else I love to have extra security just in case something really bad happens

like playing 6 cards when you''re not supposed to

[lean dune]

that being said, I'm now thinking if there's not some way to get more than 5 cards selected with cerulean bell

let me try that

[gleaming talon]

someone made a 6card

mod

[autumn yew]

you'd need a pile of "clone that card"
because of the "bug" that if you clone the auto-selected card, the clone is also selected

[lean dune]

having more than 2 cryptids in your consumable area is anything but impossible, to say the least

[gleaming talon]

perkeo ?

[lean dune]

yep

[gleaming talon]

showman

[autumn yew]

there's also the Death tarot, though I don't know if Cerulean's bug affects that one

[lean dune]

it does, but you'd need 5 of them

[gleaming talon]

DEATH 13

I have its sound in my jojo's tarot mod

[lean dune]

actually no

it doesn't

you're gonna have too many selected cards

hear me out... DNA?

[autumn yew]

no, because that causes one copy to go to the discard pile

[lean dune]

hm

[autumn yew]

well, a cryptid and two Death
which is a lot easier than two+ cryptids

[solar lantern]

Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to accelerate game speed to go higher than x4, with some mods it takes a long time to play a hand ^^'

[gleaming talon]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1210304870457020487

[solar lantern]

Oh shit I read all mods but didn't see it, thanks 😄

[autumn yew]

anywhoo, looks like I can fix this easily enough.
success, I made a Boss blind that goes "oh you drew one of your high-scoring hands? fuck you, discard and redraw"

[lean dune]

either way you can't have more than 2 cards selected and expect to be able to use either of them

[gleaming talon]

that's why I want 2 channels :
1 dev with only code special jokers etc
1 modding chat

[autumn yew]

point!

[rare shell]

Is it okay to "nest" these events inside each other to make chains of events?

[gleaming talon]

should be

or you can create one that isn't inside with a different time delay

like this

[lean dune]

so yeah selecting 6 or more cards is literally impossible

[fickle elbow]

i scrolled over my tarot card.

[gleaming talon]

seems like a mod that messes wit tarots and does osmething bad

[autumn yew]

looks like your localization is fubar

specifically.... the unlock condition I think
actually not sure, show your localization entry

[past tendon]

    -- This rank can only be created by the joker Number 13
    -- Note: Suffix B will be picked by the function, for instance 13 of heart will be called "H_B"
    local cards_rank13 = SMODS.Sprite:new('cards_rank13', mtl_jkr_mod.path, 'cards_rank13.png', 71, 95, 'asset_atli')
    local cards_rank13_opt2 = SMODS.Sprite:new('cards_rank13_opt2', mtl_jkr_mod.path, 'cards_rank13_opt2.png', 71, 95, 'asset_atli')
    cards_rank13:register()
    cards_rank13_opt2:register()
    SMODS.Card:new_rank('13', 13, 'cards_rank13', 'cards_rank13_opt2', { x = 0 }, {
        Hearts = { y = 0 },
        Clubs = { y = 1 },
        Diamonds = { y = 2 },
        Spades = { y = 3 }
    }, {
        next= {'2'},
        strength_effect = { ignore = true }
    })   ```

At first I thought something was wrong because I left the "next" field empty  (guess it's used by get_straight()) so I tried '2' or 'Ace' but nothing changed.

[fickle elbow]

i believe this is it.

[lean dune]

putting 2 can technically cause issues as it won't halt in certain cases, but in case of 5oak, get_straight should just not find a card that belongs to next and exit

[gleaming talon]

Okay, I've finished making a mod that forces the first joker to appear in a shop to be a chosen joker

[dawn mango]

people born in 2006 are 18 now?

wild

[gleaming talon]

sheesh

[autumn yew]

there are people born post y2k that can drink

and that terrifies me

[lean dune]

can't confirm, I'm born in 2006 and I'm 17

yes, ik my bio says otherwise, but that's just because rounding

[autumn yew]

What. No, I mean whatever you did to make your card have tooltip text. Not sure what mod system you're using, but I mean this stuff:

    name = "Close Shave",
    text = {
        "Gives {C:money}$#1#{} when blind is",
        "cleared by less than {C:chips}#2#{}%",
    },
    unlock = {
        "Lose {C:attention,E:1}#1#{} runs",
        "{C:inactive}(#2#)"
    }
},```

[dawn mango]

yea i didnt do the math there

lol

still

turning 18 is still wild

[rigid jewel]

They are, but depending on date they may not be 18 yet

[fickle elbow]

oh, here it is

[gleaming talon]

thoughts ? (only works in first shop)

[lean dune]

I think I figured it out. Are you using the lovely injector?

if so, I got something to test for you

[quasi anvil]

Does someone know if there is a mod allowing to freeze the shop until the next shop like in Hearstsone Battleground ? I've searched in #1209506514763522108 but I have no results

[gleaming talon]

I've messed with the shop and it may be doable

[hardy brook]

We making progress, Now all that's needed is the x2 mult and the glass destruction

[gleaming talon]

I know for the galls where it is

lemme check

if scoring_hand[i].ability.name == 'Glass Card' and not scoring_hand[i].debuff and pseudorandom('glass') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/scoring_hand[i].ability.extra then
destroyed = true
end

G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

in state_events.lua

in functions folder

[river ledge]

is there a non destructive way to alter the function in the misc_functions.lua file. Stuff like get_flush() and get_straight()

[gleaming talon]

Or you can check for every glass card and shatter them, then add them to a trash can then at the end destroy them

[lean dune]

lovely or balamod patches

[autumn yew]

theoretically. I'm not 100% sure how, just that I've done whole function replacement before in Surviving Mars, but they were class-specific

[lean dune]

but steamodded overwrites them, so be careful with that

[gleaming talon]

Orginal_get_flush = get_flush
function getflush(hand)
Orginal_get_flush (hand)
end

[autumn yew]

yeah that should work 👆

[lean dune]

indeed you can append/prepend to them if that fits your use case

[gleaming talon]

and you can add your logic

[lean dune]

in case of get_flush or get_straight, it likely wouldn't

but that depends on what you want to do

[gleaming talon]

also don't forget to return the base one since it seems to return something

[river ledge]

cool I'll give this a try

I think this was being discussed earlier, but I'd like to implement a way to score 6 cards at once, but the get_flush() function has a hard lock on 5 card hands, so I was thinking for a non-desctructive way around that, before get_flush gets called, if there are 6 cards I could take out the one card that isn't in the most common suit, run get_flush() then add that card back to the hand

[autumn yew]

well, all you really need to do is take (copy) the existing method and remove #hand > 5 check

[lean dune]

do note that function is being modified for the playing card API

I can however remove that check for you, since it serves no base game use

[gleaming talon]

find the intruder

[river ledge]

yeah, i'll do that if there is no other way, but I'd prefer to not override any functions is possible

[wild thunder]

it's in the middle

[autumn yew]

(ditto straights, I think, I haven't validated it working correctly with straights)

[lean dune]

yep, same thing

I'll get that removed as well

[river ledge]

appreciate it

[autumn yew]

👍

[wraith stream]

Did someone make an API? I haven't seen that yet

[lean dune]

I did, and it's part of Steamodded

[wraith stream]

Ah, I see the Joker API, is that it? Or is it a full API?

[lean dune]

it's its own thing, the file for it is suit.lua

(yes that name is misleading, but card.lua would load before core.lua when I made it)

[limber mural]

What are the best mods to make the game more interesting?

No tacky ones please

[dusky reef]

would always advertise my own

[lunar fable]

1. mikas mod colection. 2 divvy's real-time score calculator. 3 debug menu

also incresed sould and blackhole probabilty is nice

[past tendon]

Haven't used lovely yet but I can give it a try tomorrow.

[limber mural]

ty

[wraith stream]

I am working on a botting API, coming along nicely if anyone else is interested. The bot playing does not have any intelligence obviously, but it can automatically lose, so that is progress!

[autumn yew]

it can automatically lose
That's... something

[wraith stream]

The goal is just an API so that I or others can just focus on making good decisions....but I'm still on the API phase so intelligent choices will have to wait

[autumn yew]

well ok fair

[wraith stream]

Here is a snapshot of the API so far, so it's very easy to get something up and going

It can also interact with the shop but I have to manually play to get to that part atm...

[rigid jewel]

Y'all are cooking some insane API

[umbral pilot]

got a repo

[rigid jewel]

Meanwhile I'm out here trying to take a crack at those mini UI squares that explain editions and whatnot

[autumn yew]

Hm hmm, new thingamajigger not workin'

local handScores = {}
for k,v in pairs(G.GAME.hands) do
    if v.visible then
        handScores[k] = {
            name = k,
            value = v.chips * v.mult
        }
    end
end

originalResults[handScores[4].name] results in a "tried to access a nil value" error. This should be identical to originalResults['Flush'] (assuming no planet cards).
What am I doing wrong?
And no, originalResults isn't the nil thing.

[wraith stream]

not yet, the mod itself is not using steammodded or anything, I manually hooked it. Still need to finish the all of the actions (like choosing cards from packs and selling cards), and adding a decision flow. Hopefully in a week or two

[umbral pilot]

self promotion but check out lovely

it should make development a bit easier

[wraith stream]

oh did you make the lovely injector?

[umbral pilot]

yeah, that's been my project

[white scarab]

Yo that AI API mod looks really cool

wonder if it’ll be possible to make TASes with that

[wraith stream]

I just wrote a shell script to unpack/repack the executable and my injection is just a "require (my mod)" in the original source. I wrote a hooking library to add callbacks to my code and stuff

[umbral pilot]

need repo

that sounds sick

[wraith stream]

yeah metatables are crazy lol

[umbral pilot]

that's an understatement. you can blow the runtime wide open with them

I've been abusing experimenting with them in lovely for the past week

[wraith stream]

I will ping you when I make a repo 🙂

[umbral pilot]

very nice

[wraith stream]

That is the goal

[river ledge]

Got flushes working with 6 cards, thanks for the help

[gleaming talon]

ohhhh

it really interests me

[river ledge]

better file format

[gleaming talon]

you could space a bit more the cards

[gleaming talon]

which modloader do you use ?

[exotic pine]

looking to add extra ui, think i can get away with it without injecting?

if anyone has examples i would appreciate

[white scarab]

If you ever want to use Ankh to time runs and have any conflicts let me know

[fickle elbow]

how do i post a mod?

[white scarab]

Put it in https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506514763522108

[gleaming talon]

put it on nexus

and link it there

XD

[lunar fable]

WHAT

[umbral pilot]

github is your best bet right now imho

[lunar fable]

no

[gleaming talon]

idk why this modding community just hates nexus

[lunar fable]

it crashes my pc

[gleaming talon]

ah you yes

lmao

[lunar fable]

i have a good reason

[gleaming talon]

You wanted one of my mods right ?

which one did you want I can send it in dm

[lunar fable]

black seal

sounds cool

[gleaming talon]

thx

[fair current]

Does anyone have an example of adding the plasma deck scoring properties to another deck?

[lunar fable]

#1211808102999924746 lets you do this

[fair current]

Nice, thank you, I'll take a look and either use that or see if I can figure out how they're setting it

[lunar fable]

also why do all my probabiltys keep getting set to 1bil

[coral shale]

What mods are you using?

[lunar fable]

mods is your mod

[gleaming talon]

New mod out : https://www.nexusmods.com/balatro/mods/11/

[lunar fable]

GOD DAMIT

[gleaming talon]

you're too good at the game

[coral shale]

Yeah, I figured. I set the probability to 1bn to calculate max possible score value

[lunar fable]

id didnt read the link

[coral shale]

It's a lazy way to do it

[lunar fable]

but now everything is garanted

[coral shale]

It shouldn't be permanent tho 🤔

[lunar fable]

well it is

[coral shale]

I've never seen it on my cards

[rare shell]

question for yall

is there any coding difference between the normal booster packs?

[coral shale]

Update to latest version?

[rare shell]

i.e these packs, not mega/jumbo

do the colors indicate anything?

[gleaming talon]

no

same function same arguments

[coral shale]

Here: https://github.com/DivvyCr/Balatro-Preview/releases/tag/v1.6

[rare shell]

just cosmetic variety then?

[lunar fable]

im on that
