[hardy brook]

Idk if I know if copy/paste like this even works but eh let's try it

[cunning silo]

actually, for balancing reasons, i am not sure if fusion jokers should inherit editions

[rigid jewel]

I'm mostly thinking of the programming nightmare making a joker have multiple editions

[cunning silo]

XD true

[hardy brook]

What the heck game

I imported the code but it isn't loading in-game

still loads the game

[astral glade]

needs to be Card.draw(self, layer)

[hardy brook]

thank you

[astral glade]

and you also need to call the draw reference

[hardy brook]

and now it crashed

[hardy brook]

I'm only doing Red/Blue/Black deck as a test

[rigid jewel]

Might need to be function Card.draw instead of function Card:draw

[hardy brook]

ok

must've mistyped there

Oh wait case sensitive

[umbral pilot]

Release v0.4.0 should work with the beta build: #1214591552903716954 message

[hardy brook]

Nope, game loads but no effect

[lean dune]

you're still checking foil editioned decks further up...

[hardy brook]

oh

thanks

OH MY GOSH

[lean dune]

neat

[rigid jewel]

Can you stack shaders?

Have something be polychrome and holographic at the same time?

[rare shell]

damn, why G.GAME.last_hand_played tells me current hand even if I use context.before?

[lean dune]

it gets adjusted at start of G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

[hardy brook]

Lemme try

Gonna try another way

You might have to combine the shaders manually

Negative works kinda

[cunning silo]

interesting

how did you do that?

[hardy brook]

I found the code in the old version of Balatro

[lean dune]

ty!

[astral glade]

negative needs negative_shine too for it to look proper

[boreal ibex]

oh yeah i forgot

newt, it was you that said to make genderbent jimbo, yeah?

[hardy brook]

Excuse me?

[astral glade]

yeah

[boreal ibex]

had to be there

[dapper helm]

history is being made

[boreal ibex]

but like, in a minute

im ga(y)ming

[harsh totem]

how can i apply shaders?

[hardy brook]

Let's gooooo

It's now 1:1 Recreated perfectly

[harsh totem]

how did you do that?

like render that?

[hardy brook]

well first that happened because I grabbed from the old version

But here

[boreal ibex]

does anyone have a high quality image of jimbo

everytime i try to open the joker spritesheet in the program im using it looks bad cuz compression

[boreal ibex]

thank you very much

[exotic shadow]

upscaled if you need it

[boreal ibex]

1x is fine

[astral glade]

this is such a good joker

[boreal ibex]

back on it, had to go see the solar eclipse ( it was cool ( sadly i was not on the total line ) )

[dapper helm]

now that tags are good thats an insane jonkler to get

+4 free negative jokers

[sterile root]

huh what happened here...

[hushed nebula]

Would anyone be able to explain how the joker tooltip works? I made a joker that gives x1 mult per $100 and I want it to show what the current xmult would be when hovering the card. Is there a specific function for this or syntax when defing text in loc table I should be using?

[lean dune]

this stuff is complicated to hook into at a basic level, which is why the Joker API provides interfaces for it. To display variables inside a card's description, you'll just want to return a table containing the value from the joker's loc_def function, which you can reference as #n# where n is the index of the value you want. For tooltips on jokers only (you can do this inside loc_def for consumables), there's a separate tooltip function which passes the center object as well as an info_queue table that you can append to. You need a set and a key property, both of which are strings, and the text used will be drawn from G.localization.descriptions[set][key] (you'll need to define that, it doesn't really matter what set is so it's usually 'Other'). You can use vars in there as well, you'll need to add a vars field to the table you're appending to info_queue as well

[knotty fable]

hollow graphic tarot's..... Would be a cold edition .....

The holographic versions does better than the plane tarot

Wouldn't that be cool

[astral glade]

tarots with holo, poly, and foil still function from the consumable area

as in they give the bonus

[iron onyx]

should be easy enough to access the variables of the components and pass those to the fusion

my fusion mod accounted for swashbuckler by transferring the sell value of the existing joker to the fusion

[boreal ibex]

hey newt

its done

[knotty fable]

No they will be more powerful then the plain ones 😆

[boreal ibex]

@astral glade (sorry for ping but i want you to see)

[astral glade]

YOOOO

[boreal ibex]

jimbo? nah, jamie

[astral glade]

LOL

THATS SO GOOD

[boreal ibex]

they have eyelashes, their lips are more red, and the third change is obvious

[astral glade]

thats badass

[ripe whale]

do mods work on mac?

[viscid spear]

golden blackboard

[sleek granite]

goldboard....

[viscid spear]

how the hell will i do this

good enough

[dapper helm]

ohhhh they're like gold stake stickers?

[viscid spear]

yeah so i can see which ones i need to get when actually playing easily

[rotund galleon]

glueprint

[viscid spear]

made it better

[dapper helm]

thats a good idea. would be interesting if there was some way to automate the process for the white backgrounds and basic "Joker" text and make it into a mod that checks for gold stickers to apply the skins

[viscid spear]

i was originally just gonna stick the stickers on the textures but decided to have fun with it

[sleek granite]

wow that looks awesome

[iron onyx]

i was like "...mustard stain"

i can give you the individual layer if you want

[viscid spear]

LOL thats good actually

[viral peak]

joker like this would cook hard
BUT I'm not sure who drew this so if anyone knows, ask them for permission first

[dapper helm]

should make it replace jimbo on the lose screen

[sleek granite]

wow if i understand the code right it's actually incredibly easy to make spectrals appear in the shop

[rigid jewel]

Yeah

It's as easy as this

[exotic shadow]

G.GAME.spectral_rate = 9e99999999999

[astral glade]

you could pretty easily make a joker that makes spectral cards appear in the shop but itd clash a bit with that one deck

[sleek granite]

ayyyy

i made it a voucher

(if you're already on Ghost Deck, it still improves the odds compared to base ghost deck odds)

[astral glade]

OO

[sleek granite]

(raises them to the same odds as tarot/planet cards, then the t2 voucher raises them to the same odds as t1 tarot voucher or t1 planet voucher)

[astral glade]

t3 voucher should make them sometimes be negative /j

[sleek granite]

also the voucher shader does a LOT of work

that sprite looks like GARBAGE lmao

[astral glade]

not the worst ive seen

[rigid jewel]

Oh I just had the voucher be redeemed automatically on Ghost Deck

[sleek granite]

oh someone did this already

[dapper helm]

its a https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1217704157574860810 thing

[sleek granite]

the two of em

[astral glade]

oddity merchant/tycoon when

[sleek granite]

that will happen

it wont be in MoreConsumables tho

[astral glade]

hell yeah

[rigid jewel]

#1217704157574860810 message

[astral glade]

moreconsumables has been so nice for runs

station, comet, and moon are so hype

[sleek granite]

less dud celestial packs

[astral glade]

YEAH

and i usually play with ghost deck so getting Scry in the shop is fun

[sleek granite]

getting scry in general is fun

has anyone seen a The Joker with an edition in the wild yet

[astral glade]

i havent

also why is satelite just a clone of high priestess

[sleek granite]

:)

high priestess doesn't appear in celestial packs

[sleek granite]

actually this depends on if i decide to fold the "basic oddities" mod into moreconsumables which im still neither here nor there on

cuz i was planning that to be a separate thing as a demonstration of OddityAPI

but it still does that if its in MoreConsumables tho

[astral glade]

i dont care where its located as long as i get my microwave

[sleek granite]

what even would that do

[astral glade]

make noises, cook food, catch fire, explode

[sleek granite]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[astral glade]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

wow mega celestial pack and NO custom planets

[boreal ibex]

shouldve been mega-er

[sleek granite]

me when i cheat

[serene plank]

Is it strange that when trying to download Steamodded Chrome blocks the download?

[sleek granite]

not in the slightest

do the lovely install method instead

[astral glade]

what in the fuck is this run

[sleek granite]

banannanana

[eternal turtle]

The lovely install method?

[orchid vault]

what mod adds the joker on the left

[eternal turtle]

Thank you!

[sleek granite]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1217867725532041369

[astral glade]

more fluff

[orchid vault]

thanks

[sleek granite]

its easier to update and dont have to deal with firewall shenanigans

[eternal turtle]

Yeah Ill be honest I was quite iffy about downloading the other injector because it was being flagged for a trojan virus -w- This puts me at ease

[serene plank]

I do not understand the instructions for the lovely install lol.

[sleek granite]

the injector is safe, fwiw

[serene plank]

It just says do three lines of giberish

Oh nvm this one is more clear

I was looking at the github site

[sleek granite]

put the lovely version.dll in the folder with Balatro.exe
put Steamodded's source code in a folder in %AppData%/Balatro/Mods
win at life

[serene plank]

Thank you!

[eternal turtle]

Where does on find the steamodded source code?

Ive never been the best at navigating github

[sleek granite]

on Steamodded's release page, listed as "Source Code (.zip)"

you could download the repo directly also but that'll be "bleeding edge" version which might have additional bugs

[eternal turtle]

Ah there it is!

Thank you!

[sleek granite]

make sure you unzip the file, the game wont automate that part

[eternal turtle]

Do you open the steam directory and put the lovely dll there or make a new folder?

[sleek granite]

in the same folder as Balatro.exe

[serene plank]

Now I don't see the lovely dll lol, it's not in the listed files that I see

[dapper helm]

dwmapi

[eternal turtle]

So I run now so it makes the funny mods files or is it already there?

[sleek granite]

its version.dll now

[dapper helm]

i wonder if there was a reason for the name change

[sleek granite]

the experimental update wasnt compatible with dwmapi.dll now

[sleek granite]

you want releases, to the right

[serene plank]

ahhh

[sleek granite]

you can make %AppData%/Balatro/Mods yourself if you want

[eternal turtle]

Ahh okay make the mods folder

[serene plank]

sorry, not the best at knowing how to navigate github

[eternal turtle]

You and me both

[sleek granite]

every day we spend without official r2modman support is another 20 people asking how to install things

[eternal turtle]

will the title screen look any different? Just to make sure I did gud

[sleek granite]

youll see Steamodded's version number under the games own

[eternal turtle]

Gotcha thank you

[sleek granite]

and lovely will open a console window

[eternal turtle]

Oooh new loading bar, I think I got it

Nope -w-

[sleek granite]

[eternal turtle]

Hm... Feck I do wrong?

YKNOW I think I know what I did

[sleek granite]

wait does new lovely not work with old balatro

[eternal turtle]

One sec

I think I mix-matched versions one sec

[sleek granite]

oh ok try your thing first ig

[eternal turtle]

So the lovely injector is the second link not the one in the steammodded page yes?

Yup I downloaded the wrong one

[sleek granite]

did you put lovely.toml in the balatro folder

[eternal turtle]

Yup

Not version.dll

[sleek granite]

[eternal turtle]

(Im very smart

Okay run it back

[shell vine]

not super relevant to modding, but can i get every face of every non-joker card in the game? Also, if not, would there be a way to do this?

[sleek granite]

its fine

[eternal turtle]

THERE WE GO

I saw the panel

First try -w-

[sleek granite]

you can open the game in 7zip and extract the assets from the resources folder

[eternal turtle]

Now to... Well yknow FIND some mods

[shell vine]

ty

[eternal turtle]

Thank youuu :3

[sleek granite]

play MoreConsumables

im not biased at all

[eternal turtle]

Hm

[serene plank]

Got mine to work, time to try a mod lol.

[eternal turtle]

Sounds fun :3

[dapper helm]

play MoreConsumables

[sleek granite]

Coro is biased tho

[dapper helm]

and Ink and Color Suits

[serene plank]

I was gonna do the Mikamod or whatever for the 7 extra decks and more jokers lol

[sleek granite]

you can usually install many mods together

[dapper helm]

dang, didn't have to expose me like that 😔

[sleek granite]

the notable exception being JellyMod

afaik the only mod with notable compatibility issues

[astral glade]

jellymod is one of the mods of all time

[sleek granite]

im sure its good in its own right

just doesnt play nice with others

[dapper helm]

jellymod is the funniest mod imo

[shell vine]

qq, do i open 7z.exe, 7zFM.exe, or 7zG.exe?

[sleek granite]

i have no idea

[shell vine]

i'll try all 3

it was 7zFM

[serene plank]

I think I might be dumb

Mika's mod has no releases available?

[dapper helm]

in the code part on github theres a green "code" button you click to download the zip

[serene plank]

o

thanks

I feel like this website is trying to make me feel old.

[dapper helm]

website issue ngl, not on you

[serene plank]

lol, thanks. Gonna try Moreconsumables and Mika's mod.

[dapper helm]

i recommend these 2 too https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1225831216939536394 https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1221916334372290620

a lot of content to go with the lots of jokers and decks in mika's

[serene plank]

Ok, I'll try it out.

[grand geode]

i woke up a bit too late to shill houserules

[serene plank]

Lol.

[dapper helm]

my b

try these https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1217028577858420806 to go with the other stuff

[grand geode]

lma

[dapper helm]

genuine recommendation though cause they're good

[grand geode]

aa

[serene plank]

lol alright I'll add it too, I'll be well on my way to Balatro looking like my Slay the Spire.

Meteor confuses me from the MoreConsumables mod pack

It has two descriptions?

[grand geode]

one only activates if tou have the Observatory voucher

so don't worry about it

[serene plank]

ohh ok

[karmic fulcrum]

Hey ! Is there anywhere to find the Card Class and all the methods attached to it ?

[grand geode]

card.lua

[granite silo]

I'm going to shill for MoreConsumables and Deluxe Tarots. Both of these mods fit in with the vanilla theme and add some more strategy and excitement in the celestial packs

[dusky reef]

Btw how can we add stickers that shows up besides card descriptions?

[karmic fulcrum]

From wich directory ?

[dusky reef]

Like when you have say foil edition, it shows on the side what foil does

[dapper helm]

tooltip is the name, idk code stuff but i think if you search messages for it you can probably find info

[dusky reef]

🫡 thx

[dapper helm]

here

[dapper helm]

this too

[dusky reef]

very nice

[astral glade]

considered naming it "the road" but this sounds cooler

[iron onyx]

is this original? no

but i like what i did with it

or, am doing with it so far

[fickle elbow]

i got two more jokers finished and in game👍

[weak mortar]

That first one seems really powerful on the 1 consumable slot deck

[fickle elbow]

its also rare

[strong swift]

a good thing. that deck is ass lmao

[boreal ibex]

i barely use consumables (i am aware that this is not good) so i like it

[supple cypress]

what does that mean?
you dont use tarrot and planets, or you dont hold onto them

[boreal ibex]

dont hold on

[dapper helm]

omg ritual sacrifice looks so good

[fickle elbow]

Cadio knows how to art

[iron onyx]

thinking of "all played 7's become lucky" or "a hand with 3 or more 7's gains 77 chips and 7 mult"

[sleek granite]

o7 vampire

[fickle elbow]

a one in 777 chance to get 777$

[sleek granite]

1 in 7 to turn played cards into lucky cards
1 in 77 to get 777 mult
1 in 777 to get $777

[fickle elbow]

chips instead of mult

[sleek granite]

true i was just thinking Mega Lucky Card

[fickle elbow]

i've got a 7 card, its not lucky tho

[sleek granite]

Hi all, I have no idea how to get started with writing mods. I can find instructions on this server to install a mod loader, and the Awesome list of mods/calculators, but nothing about the substance of the mod itself. Am I missing it? is it based on other generic modding principles that I should read up elsewhere?

[sleek granite]

theres not much documentation as of yet

[supple cypress]

the most important thing is knowing lua

[neat dome]

Managed to get a rather insane modded run with Six Suits (the Star & Moon one) and Alchemy cards- Got up to Ante 11's Big Blind before it crumbled on a Full House / Spectrum House build

[sleek granite]

you can read the game's source with 7zip to open Balatro.exe

or read Steamodded's apis to learn how to use them

or read other mods

[full sail]

I know 0 lua and have never worked on projects like this, but I'm a developer so I'll pick it up or die trying

ty those are decent tips!

[umbral pilot]

oh yeah if you have development experience you'll pick up lua ez pa

pz

or you can contribute to lovely hehe

[sleek granite]

SixSuits, Mikasmodcollection, and my own MoreConsumables are probably your best bets for seeing how the apis and stuff work

[full sail]

Before I embark on learning several things from scratch, this is what I'm really trying to do: I want to be able to right click + drag over cards to easily multiselect them. Does that sound doable in the modding ecosystem?

[sleek granite]

i think someone did that already actually

[full sail]

even better

[dapper helm]

yup

[full sail]

do you uhhhhhhhh remember what it's called lmao

[dapper helm]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1220667431199047711

this

[full sail]

woohoo

[sleek granite]

technically everything is possible

its just if its compatible with everything else

and how much work it'll be to do

[astral glade]

add quick time events

[dapper helm]

rewrite the entire game to be about uno

[sleek granite]

well, everything possible on the love2d game engine is possible anyway

[full sail]

multiplayer with betting and no jokers

[astral glade]

there is multiplayer being worked on

[dapper helm]

^

[sleek granite]

Real Poker

[dapper helm]

its going in a different design direction tho i think

[umbral pilot]

uno mod got me acting unwise

[astral glade]

attach balatro to your wallet

i mean bank account

[sleek granite]

i was considering setting up a solitaire mod but im not sure the joke would be worth the effort

(as in, literally the game solitaire)

[dapper helm]

you should make the win animation instead

[umbral pilot]

spider solitaire or no deal

[dapper helm]

https://youtu.be/_hNwHdzRKXE?si=1a3Si3RhoSNDFPzm this with all your jokers

[sleek granite]

six suits spider solitaire....

[rigid jewel]

Aight I had my fun, time to get back to modding

[sleek granite]

i wish.... capitalism keeps me from modding.....

[astral glade]

revolution

[fickle elbow]

real

[iron onyx]

i am... way too proud of those little icons!
(also i'm probably gonna go with "all 7's become lucky," at the request of the friend who gifted me balatro)

i don't feel bad about dumping more vampire synergy into the game if thunk is gonna just thunk it like that.

[sleek granite]

very good

[civic grail]

neat fx!

maybe add gradual shading to the bottom to insinuate that it curves inward?

if you can find a really light gray color

[honest shore]

Windows showed the loader/injector as a trojan, is it trippin?

[rapid epoch]

yes

It's a known problem

[iron onyx]

yeah, i'll do that, actually

[fickle elbow]

its technically not tripping for the injector uses the same stuff a virus would but to inject into a game instead of your pc

but its harmless

[iron onyx]

yeah, you should probably set a folder aside as an exclusion to your antivirus

and put all the steamodded stuff into there

[honest shore]

I see

[sleek granite]

or use the lovely method~

[simple trail]

the lovely method seems a lot easier honestly

the instructions are just not helpful

[sleek granite]

its easier to update steamodded with lovely

and easier to update lovely with lovely and easier to update balatro with lovely-

its weird to need to download two things i guess??? idk

[simple trail]

the instructions should just be:

• place the lovely dll next to balatro.exe
• put the steammodded folder in %APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods

[sleek granite]

trying to think of a downside

there's even mods that will specifically need a lovely+steamodded setup

Risk of Jesters does, for ones that are already out, and theres like two or three in development atm that are confirmed to

[dapper helm]

unfortunately for me my antivirus hates the steamodded source code too

[simple trail]

i imagine the only reason more people dont use it is because the instructions just vaguely tell you to put "the mods" into the %APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods folder instead of telling you to put the entire steammoded folder

it should refer to steammodded by name

[sleek granite]

the instructions do be kinda bad (and poorly formatted compared to the injector methods)

[dapper helm]

they are very strange yeah

[iron onyx]

yeah, i think i like how that turned out!

[full sail]

On that subject, I can't get a read on which loader(s) I might want to get

[simple trail]

i'm very well versed in computer shit, and even i only figured it out by guesswork

[dapper helm]

it took me like an hour to figure out on my own

[iron onyx]

here's the 2x

[dapper helm]

steamodded (using lovely)

[sleek granite]

most of the mods you'll see here are steamodded, so probably that one

and lovely is an easier way to install steamodded and some mods need it too

[full sail]

🫡 ty

[sleek granite]

i think a compatibility bridge between balamod and steamodded is in the works but atm they break each other

[simple trail]

fuck it. I submitted a pull request with updated lovely instructions
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/75

[hushed nebula]

Which context should i use for my calculate function for jokers when I want the joker to update its tooltip when G.GAME.dollars changes

[full sail]

laughing a little since this came not a literal 30 seconds after I spent 10-15 minutes puzzling through this and finally succeeded

[simple trail]

Do the instructions seem accurate to what you did?

[full sail]

This is a big improvement - thank you. Since I am as fresh as it possibly gets, I'll write up some suggestions to take it further

First bullet point: change to "... download the "Source Code (zip)" from the latest release, the one at the top" <-- imo, slightly clearer

Extract this [to] folder

Third bullet point: maybe add "you don't need the zip"

Last bullet point: it's not clear whether this means in their own directories or not

Ohhh, non-savvy users might not know what %APPDATA% means

I'd include "You can copy-paste this folder name into a Windows Explorer path"

[exotic shadow]

technically the download code for the release and the top of the main page can be different

if theres experimental changes not in a release, they will be in the download on the top of the page

[full sail]

Ah noted

[exotic shadow]

or well any changes added before a release is made

[sleek granite]

which can potentially have bugs that havent been ironed out yet

or just changed functionality that could cause incompatibilities

[exotic shadow]

side not should we be pushing lovely as the main way to install steamodded?

[sleek granite]

it is easier to update.

[exotic shadow]

It seems like its just better in every way, now supports mac(ish) and should let us hook functions easier too

[sleek granite]

and i think will be the main way r2modman installs will work

[dapper helm]

yeah

iirc aure has mentioned a few times its probably gonna be merged eventually

[sleek granite]

ive only been avoiding using lovely's potential because most people still have injector based installs

[fickle elbow]

yes

[exotic shadow]

tbh it would make sense for lovely to be the mod loader, and steamodded just to be a library mods can depend on

[sleek granite]

steamodded is THE api

💪

[honest shore]

I am probably very stupid

[sleek granite]

same whats up

[honest shore]

But I swear its just giving me the source code when I try to run the power shell injector

(Haven’t modded any games in a while)

[full sail]

hhhhrrrrmmmmmmm https://github.com/Kooluve/Better-Mouse-And-Gamepad only has one file, BetterMouseAndGamepad.lua. I put that in my Roaming\Balatro\Mods folder, restarted the game, and the loader is claiming no mods detected. Then I tried putting it in a folder, restarted, same deal. Does this look right?

[fickle elbow]

thats not how steamodded works

[cobalt wedge]

Oops

[fickle elbow]

you open local files of balatro in steam and drag the exe file into steamodded file, you do not put the file in the mods folder

[sleek granite]

you put steamodded in the folder if you use lovely

lovely loads steamodded like a mod

[fickle elbow]

yea i don't touch lovely

[full sail]

:thronking:

[sleek granite]

just to be sure

Michael, you're getting steamodded to load, yes?

[full sail]

Yup, that part worked great

[sleek granite]

i.e. theres a steamodded version number and a mods tab

[sleek granite]

yeah it should be loading it

did you relaunch the game after putting the mod in?

[full sail]

Yeah, before/after both putting the mod .lua on the top level in /Mods and in a separate dir

Is relaunching typically necessary, ooc?

[sleek granite]

yes

steamodded isnt that advanced to load mods at runtime

[cobalt wedge]

I'm not sure what I did wrong

[sleek granite]

are you able to try a different mod? just to see if its something with better mouse

[exotic shadow]

whats the content of the lua file?

[dapper helm]

should be fine with just the lua in mods 🤔

[full sail]

Yeah will try another mod. DUnno if that nativefs error is relevant

[exotic shadow]

its saying it has an invalid header

[sleek granite]

is better mouse a balamod mod?

[dapper helm]

no

[sleek granite]

idk ive never used it

[dapper helm]

it might have a balamod version?

[full sail]

:0

[dapper helm]

oops i was about to post my download of it and remembered theres a whole rule against that

[warm dock]

hey guys, first time talking in this discord, ive been trying to mod balatro for the past half hour and i just cannot get it to work

[dapper helm]

idk if that rule is relevant to this situation tho

[dapper helm]

creating mods or using them? and have you installed steamodded?

[full sail]

Hah okay the first other mod I tried is (theoretically) loading properly. RIP, thanks for investigating. Maybe I'll try to fix the mod I wanted to use as my first homework assignment

cc @coral shale actually ^ disregard I'm dumb, wrong person

[warm dock]

everytime i try to load the "steammodded_PS_injector.exe" it just asks if i want to install 7zip, which i already have installed, and i type yes, it pops up with a prompt to ask if it can make changes to my device, and then crashes

[warm dock]

im having issues with steammodded

[dapper helm]

are you dragging the balatro exe on top of the steamodded exe?

also i recommend using lovely to install it instead

[honest shore]

We have now prepped it for modding

[warm dock]

how do i find the balatro exe?

im sorry, not very good with files n stuff

[honest shore]

Go through your steam pathway

[dapper helm]

right click the game on steam and browse local files

[honest shore]

Or that

[dapper helm]

manage* and browse local files

[warm dock]

is it cool to send screenshots in here? i dont know all of the rules

[dapper helm]

yeah

[dapper helm]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1217867725532041369 this is easier

[dusky heart]

That tutorial is slightly outdated, as the .toml is included and the Lovely dll is called version.dll now

[dapper helm]

fuck

now what am i supposed to link 😢

[dusky heart]

Instructions for installing Lovely and Steammodded on Windows:

1. Download the version.dll file from the Lovely releases page
2. Place the downloaded version.dll file next to your Balatro.exe file where Balatro is installed

• Balatro.exe can be found by right-clicking the game in Steam, and selecting "Manage > Browse Local Files"

3. Start the game once in order to verify that Lovely was installed correctly

• A console window should appear outside of the game to show that Lovely is working. You may need to ALT+TAB to see it
• This console window will show where the Mods folder is located. The first line should read:
• INFO - Using mods directory at "C:\\Users\\(YOUR USERNAME HERE)\\AppData\\Roaming\\Balatro\\Mods"

4. Close the game
5. Open the Mods folder located at %APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods

• You can do this by pasting %APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods into the Address bar of File Explorer/Windows Explorer
• OR by typing it into the Start Menu
• OR by pressing WIN+R and pasting %APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods into the text box
• OR by enabling "Show Hidden Items" in Explorer and finding it manually

6. Go to the Steammodded releases page and download the latest release (the "Source Code (zip)" download)
7. Extract this .zip into the Mods folder (%APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods)

• If done correctly, you should have a folder that looks something like "Steamodded-x.x.x" in your "Mods" folder containing various files, including lovely.toml

7. Start the game again to verify that Steammodded is working correctly

• You should see a new "Mods" button on the main menu, and the Steammodded version at the top right

8. Balatro is now ready to be Modded!

• Place any mods you wish to have installed inside %APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods, next to the "Steamodded-x.x.x" folder
• Mods should be stand-alone .lua files, or folders containing a lovely.toml

[dapper helm]

i guess i should just link that pull request then

[dusky heart]

Hopefully you won't have to for long if Steammodded merges it

[full sail]

lmao big demand today

Is there an easy way to disable a mod?

[dapper helm]

move it out of the mods folder

[full sail]

Figured ty

[dapper helm]

mhm, i keep a non used mod folder in the same place as my mods for convenience

[dusky heart]

Changing the file extension from .lua to anything else works. Just adding ".disabled" or ".bak" on the end is common practice

[grand geode]

Moving it out of /Mods is also an option

[dapper helm]

[exotic shadow]

alos editing the lua file and adding something before the steammoded header line will cause steamodded not to laod it

but some mods actuallyt hvae multiple mods so that will be a bit more of a pain

[warm dock]

is this the balatro exe?

[dapper helm]

looks like it yeah

[grand geode]

yes

[warm dock]

ok thank you

[dapper helm]

i forget file name extensions aren't always on

[dusky heart]

The single worst change Windows ever made

[grand geode]

there is So Much Stuff

oug

[warm dock]

this is what my files look like. tried launching the game, got a popup about something and then it launched vanilla

[honest shore]

Me tryna find this appdata folder like

https://tenor.com/view/slam-smash-computer-slow-rage-gif-15806211

[dusky heart]

Press WIN+R, type in %APPDATA%\Balatro, then move the Mods folder from /common/Balatro to there

[full sail]

Press your Windows key + R, paste %APPDATA%\Balatro\Mods, Enter

darn

[umbral pilot]

put duh lovely in the game and duh mod in the mod foild

I tried to keep the how-to relatively simple in the repo, but let me know if I need to improve anything

[dapper helm]

its very confusing ngl

[rare shell]

I should try updating the lovely method on the wiki since a lot of stuff is implied

[red marten]

yooooo wanna mod balatro with some new content any mods i should look for first?

[exotic shadow]

I think its not confusing but I mess with the filesystem all the time so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rare shell]

JankJonklers

[warm dock]

you guys are amazing

thank god

[fickle elbow]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1221606622208720916 , i heard this mod is pretty good

[warm dock]

i hardly use files, like the most i got in depth with them was lethal company mods. finally got it working. you are all saints. thank you very much

[full sail]

I aspire to hardly use files

[fickle elbow]

totally not self-advertising

[warm dock]

rs

[exotic shadow]

files are handy

[dapper helm]

"very" was an exaggeration but i think there should be a mention of steamodded in specific not just "mods with lovely.toml files"

[umbral pilot]

to be fair it's meant to be generic

but I agree

[honest shore]

I do believe I’ve fucked up.

[exotic shadow]

I mean I guess maybe a (such as steamodded) might help

but idk if steamodded also says put me in the mods folder, it should be kinda obvious to put 2 and 2 together

[dapper helm]

i can't tell if you made the description a lot better or if i was just significantly dumber

[fickle elbow]

its 4

[umbral pilot]

you're not dumb :-)

I'll leave a note to update the description. It's hard to find that sweet spot between short-n-simple and descriptive enough to cover all edge cases

[exotic shadow]

also lovely is kinda supposed to be a general mod tool, for multiple games, so it shouldn't be it's job to tell you how to install your mods

[dapper helm]

true

[exotic shadow]

like beepinx doesn't tell you to load your whatever else in its intructions

[warm dock]

i hardly mod games fr. ive modded lethal company which had its own app to just add mods to it and create packs, and elden ring which is just a nexus download and it launches the game through that. just somewhat confusing for a newbie to modding

[nocturne furnace]

is there some new update????

someone commented something under my post about gold difficulty change or smh

[exotic shadow]

well balatro's modding scene is also in it's infancy

[nocturne furnace]

but there is nothing in the announcements

[warm dock]

i played the hell out of balatro, like 100 hours in a week and then it just got stale. thought some mods would help out

[dapper helm]

its in public beta for now

[umbral pilot]

it's on the beta branch

yeah

[exotic shadow]

#🧪・experimental

[nocturne furnace]

what did it change?

[dapper helm]

you can opt in by right clicking balatro on steam, going to properties and betas then choosing the only option

[nocturne furnace]

is sounds really... underwhelming... how is it changing gold difficulty

[warm dock]

thank you all very much, have a good night

[umbral pilot]

you think you can sleep?

no you need to test lovely

[exotic shadow]

• Changed Orange Stake
  • Scrapped increasing pack cost
  • Added new 'Perishable' mechanic, Jokers have a 30% chance to have a 'Perishable' sticker, disabling them after 5 rounds
• Changed Gold Stake
  • Scrapped -1 hand size
  • Added new 'Rental' mechanic, Jokers have a 30% chance to have a 'Rental' sticker (stacks with eternal/perishable), making them cost $1 up front and $3 every round

[nocturne furnace]

nvm i didnt saw expand button lmao

thought its 4 changes

[dapper helm]

also just wanna mention steamodded didn't say this when i first tried to figure it out lmao. definitely my bad for not rereading the updated good instructions before saying something

[nocturne furnace]

thats sounds nice

[grand geode]

you can simulate the old stakes with houserules

[umbral pilot]

I mean in general things should get easier once r2mm support gets merged

[nocturne furnace]

i might actually go back when it releases, i got 50h and not a single gold...

[umbral pilot]

but we gotta wait on those lazy developers lol

smh

[nocturne furnace]

what about getting perfectionist++? still same?

[grand geode]

unchanged

[dapper helm]

join the cult of the ghost deck and become polychromepilled

[nocturne furnace]

[grand geode]

i love ghost deck i have green stake on it on my vanilla file

[nocturne furnace]

im pretty sure i've won most games with that deck, just not gold

[dapper helm]

a bit of time

[nocturne furnace]

if you telling me ghost deck is the easiest im afraid of even trying other decks...

[fickle elbow]

what your most played game

[dapper helm]

some people like yellow deck or plasma deck more, might have luck with those

[grand geode]

i'd say Plasma or Checkered is easier

[dapper helm]

oh yeah checkered

[dapper helm]

i did that first and haven't tried it since

[nocturne furnace]

same thought tbh, but i didnt play them

[dapper helm]

checkered is just boring tbh

[nocturne furnace]

checkered seems great and plasma extremaly OP

[dapper helm]

warframe i think, on console though and i haven't been on since they (i think) implemented cross save

about 960ish hours

[exotic shadow]

Team Fortress 2 373.3 hours

[iron onyx]

that's cute

[iron onyx]

that's real cute

[iron onyx]

hot damn

[red marten]

how do you install the api for modding it keeps blocking the download

[grand geode]

of course it's Terraria lmao

[hearty grove]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1214591552903716954

[iron onyx]

@red marten windows defender?

[hearty grove]

here

[red marten]

whats the diffrence between steam and the lovely

[iron onyx]

steammodded is an executable code injector that injects a modding API; and from what i understand, lovely injects code live

[grand geode]

@steep spear the game keeps track of every probability effects in one big table
how Oops! All 6s works is that when it is added, all those probabilities get doubled

Blueprint cannot copy effects that activate when a Joker is added/removed

[exotic shadow]

Steamodded can be loaded with lovely

[iron onyx]

okay, so alizabeth

if you want steamodded by itself (which is fine for most mods)

what i'd recommend is you find this

add an exclusion folder

[red marten]

where would i find this setting?

[steep spear]

ohhhhhhh
That is fucked up, but at least it makes sense
Thank you

[grand geode]

Another example: Stuntman removes hand size when it is added to deck, so when you Blueprint the Stuntman then hand size change won't be copied

[cunning silo]

Myst!

[grand geode]

but the chips will

[cunning silo]

You do UI right?

[grand geode]

hi feder

[cunning silo]

question

[iron onyx]

@red marten right here

[cunning silo]

(also i just love how the name Feder just stuck here as well. It sticks everywhere XD)

[cunning silo]

do you know how do I rotate an object? (like a card)?

[iron onyx]

look for "windows security"

[grand geode]

rotation? uhhhh

[steep spear]

how do i rotate card in ms paint

[cunning silo]

no i meant in game

[fickle elbow]

i would not recommend using ms paint try piskel instead

[grand geode]

i think it's in engine\moveable.lua

[steep spear]

I was referencing an old as hell meme, but yeah

[dapper helm]

do you want a different name? i just assumed from federapi

[cunning silo]

nahhhh everyone calls me feder

it's fine

[iron onyx]

@red marten you figuring things out okay?

[grand geode]

if you prefer to be called something else then do tell

[cunning silo]

i mean i kinda like it

[red marten]

uhhhhh the instuctions guide is a bit confusing

[cunning silo]

i just find it funny

[red marten]

i dowlnoaded the "source code zip" but now im lost

[dapper helm]

i prefer to be called super awesome cool friend 😔

[cunning silo]

i mean, i succeeded to rotate it, but that was only when it's considered "dragged". How do i make it so it will automatically rotate itself?

[grand geode]

hi super awesome cool friend

[dapper helm]

hi myst

[grand geode]

i see Moveable:move_r

[dapper helm]

what kind of joker are you making that needs to rotate???

[fickle elbow]

beyblade

[grand geode]

speen

[dapper helm]

wheel of fortune that you actually spin

[cunning silo]

it's one of the fusions: Juggler + Drunkard: Flip-Flop. Changes its side each blind, switches between +2 hands (plus a buff), and +2 discards (and another buff)

[dapper helm]

ohhhh

[fickle elbow]

cools

[grand geode]

oh so the card physically rotates?

[cunning silo]

yup

[grand geode]

oo

[dapper helm]

the drunkler

[full sail]

I have actual rocks for brains: the mod that wasn't working for me before is in fact functional
I somehow downloaded the github page's html, not the raw .lua

[dapper helm]

lmfao

[iron onyx]

dude, your fusion sprites are legit so good.

[cunning silo]

thanks to @rare shell

[iron onyx]

makes mine look like the placeholders they are lol

[grand geode]

the french fusion

[iron onyx]

(except scary face, i'm actually kinda proud of that one)

[grand geode]

🇫🇷

[full sail]

the worst part is github downloaded it as a .lua extension, not .html

[dapper helm]

why did it do that?

[exotic shadow]

to be fair that was probably your browser not github

but odd

[red marten]

@iron onyx i installed the "version.dll" and ran the game but theres no mod tab so i think somethings wrong

[grand geode]

are you on 1.0.1c

[iron onyx]

hang on hang on

[rare shell]

[iron onyx]

i don't think aliza even realizes they need to find the balatro executable and drag that into steamodded

so one thing at a time

[grand geode]

if you're doing the injection why tell them to install lovely

[dapper helm]

lovely doesn't need to that

[iron onyx]

ah, fair

i thought they were installing steamodded, mb

[dapper helm]

is the version dll in the same folder as the balatro exe?

[red marten]

yea

[dapper helm]

is steamodded in the mods folder located in %appdata%\balatro?

[dusky heart]

Mod tab won't appear until Steammodded is installed. These instructions were wrong but are fixed now: #⚙・modding-general message

[red marten]

o

someone linked the wrong instructions

can someone link the fixed instructions

[dapper helm]

was that me?

[red marten]

uhhhhhhhhhhh idk

[snow vault]

So Jelly mod crashes any time the black joker is on screen...

[dusky heart]

I fixed the instructions that you were linked to

[snow vault]

Don't know the name of it

even when I went to collections to look at the joker. it was the only one on the last page and it crashes instantly

[exotic shadow]

whats the crash log?

[snow vault]

where do I see that?

[dapper helm]

the screen after it crashes, with all the text

[exotic shadow]

it should show on the screen when the game crashes

[snow vault]

I haven't got one. It just shoots straight to the desktop

[red marten]

lovely didnt make a mods folder should i just make one?

[dusky heart]

The Mods folder should be in %APPDATA%\Balatro, not in the same folder where the .exe is

If you start Balatro then ALT+TAB, if there's a new black console window then Lovely is installed correctly

[snow vault]

I'm using the steammodded version which isn't bringing up a window

[dapper helm]

was replying to aliza

[snow vault]

lol

[exotic shadow]

do you have any other mods beside's jellymod?

[snow vault]

nope. just jellymod

[red marten]

how would i bring up %appdata%

[dapper helm]

what version of steamodded are you on?

[snow vault]

0.9.8

[dapper helm]

👍

[dusky heart]

You can type it into the top bar in Explorer, or in the window that appears when you press the WIN key+R

I'm adding more details to the instructions at the moment

[grand geode]

i think i'll work on The Pages Update™️ for House Rules this afternoon

i have a slight idea on how to approach this

[exotic shadow]

steamodded does have pages for its mod list

[cunning silo]

yeah i can't see an option about rotating in 'moveable'
at least not something i cna use

[exotic shadow]

maybe take a look at that

[dusky heart]

It's located at C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\AppData\Roaming\Balatro

[grand geode]

r stands for rotation i think

[red marten]

yeyeyeyeyeyey got it thank thank thank thank thank

[grand geode]

it's dynamic and it's annoying

[red marten]

sorry for sounding kinda stupid this is a new moding process for me

[grand geode]

hh

[cunning silo]

yup, though it only rotates when draggable.

[grand geode]

ah

i can't recall any rotation in the base game that use anything other than a juice_up function for rotation

[fickle elbow]

how do you make a joker do something if it been sold or removed?

[exotic shadow]

I mean they are slightly rotated in the colection

but thats like almost no rotation

[grand geode]

Card:remove_from_deck

[fickle elbow]

i mean if the joker added a consumable slot or joker slot how would you remove that after its sold?

[dapper helm]

dw its pretty normal to not understand instantly

[prime crystal]

does anyone know of a mod that just lets you screw around with cards/jokers, like make them holographic, change the joker etc etc?

[dapper helm]

debug mode?

[fickle elbow]

debug?

[prime crystal]

how would i access that?

[iron onyx]

...you know, i'm honestly considering making a rare joker that creates a copy of any destroyed 8, and adds it back to your deck

[dapper helm]

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

[dapper helm]

what is the point?

are you saying add it back to deck as in the initial 1 and the copy are added?

[iron onyx]

no, just the copy

it's kind of like how DNA says that it clones the card

but yeah, i can see how that's a bit redundant of wording

[cunning silo]

this is what i currently have XD

[exotic shadow]

I mean its a start

I wonder can you replace the sprite on the fly?

it might be easier to do the flip animation and replace the sprite with a flipped version

[cunning silo]

it will be, but it wouldnt make sense with the sprite itself

[exotic shadow]

actually some cards are flipped in the startup animation, aren't they?

[dapper helm]

so if you destroy an 8 you get it back? why would you want that?

[iron onyx]

why would you--

infinite glass?

[exotic shadow]

also destroy card synergy

[iron onyx]

yeah

like, literally, the idea is

[toxic swallow]

https://discord.com/invite/GeAfj3JP

Balatro Multiplayer

[iron onyx]

8 sideways is infinity

so, infinite 8's

[dapper helm]

what destroy card synergy? just glass joker, immolate and trading card?

[exotic shadow]

uhh glass joker, theres that one legendary but I think its just face cards

uhh idk

mayhbe more modded jokers

[iron onyx]

canio with pareidolia

[dapper helm]

i don't remember any modded jokers like that personally

[native mortar]

Would I be correct in guessing this is online multiplayer?

[toxic swallow]

Yes.

[native mortar]

hmm. Might be a little tough to run in a local 1v1 context

[toxic swallow]

Just get 2pcs lol

[iron onyx]

also, @dapper helm

[native mortar]

I guess that's fair enough

[iron onyx]

hologram works on cards added, not deck size

[dapper helm]

oh true

[cunning silo]

umm.....

[iron onyx]

so it's not just card destruction synergies

[dapper helm]

still feels like way worse dna imo

[exotic shadow]

working as intended 👍

[iron onyx]

it's a more specific version of DNA

that can activate more often

[grand geode]

yup that's

perfectly normal

[dapper helm]

bp compatible at least?

[cunning silo]

perhaps i could make a shader for it...

[iron onyx]

of course

DNA is bp/napkin compatible, why wouldn't this be?

[fickle elbow]

even though i didn't tell anyone there was a problem i fixed the problem with clover.

[dusky heart]

Alright, feel free to link this guide #⚙・modding-general message to the next person who asks for help with installing mods, at least until the thread in #1209506514763522108 is updated

[fickle elbow]

it was subtracting 4$ after every shop began instead of just once permently, unless changed

[dapper helm]

i think the idea of infinity 8 is interesting but it still seems pretty unplayable imo, the uses are too specific and rare and even in those cases its hard to justify the slot unless you're about to run out of cards entirely (which isn't gonna happen realistically)

[iron onyx]

maybe the joker also gains +8 mult every time an 8 destroys itself?

[dapper helm]

yeah + the ability for them to destroy themselves somehow since unless i missed it that wasn't mentioned anywhere

[iron onyx]

yeah, that's where your playstyle is supposed to come in

it's not supposed to be a "take this every run what are you doing" kinda joker

i like making those, don't get me wrong.

but i also like making jokers that can really make a run pop off

[cunning silo]

@astral glade Hey. I was wondering about your Ionized edition.
how did you actually register your shader? When I try to register one of my own, it just crashes and says that the shader does note exist

[dapper helm]

i generally prefer jokers that have some benefit by themselves or have easy to acquire synergies like pareidolia does, for example showman is a joker i'd never take when trying to win because the chance of finding the specific dupes i want is way too low

the 8 mult may be fine already but probably not as a rare, its like erosion but harder at that point

[rapid epoch]

heart palpitation

[astral glade]

i ran into that issue a lot as well, and this is the fix i found for it! unless you already did this

or did you mean this segment

[cunning silo]

ok good

it's registered well now

[cunning silo]

one last question: how would you go about changing the rotation from a shader?

[astral glade]

i aint got that much knowledge on shaders,,, the ionized one is very basic and im not really sure how i would do that!

[wanton rapids]

like the rotation of the physical card?

[cunning silo]

yup

got any insight about it?

[wanton rapids]

you'd need to use a vertex shader

[astral glade]

making a slight guess, but like the skew.fs shader?

in balatro decomp

[cunning silo]

it has the same position code as other shaders

[astral glade]

oh interesting

[wanton rapids]

might add some editions

[cunning silo]

I mean, i could always just switch a sprite

[wanton rapids]

also, does ionized work on jokers?

[cunning silo]

cause i have 2 sprites, one flipped and one that is doesnt

[astral glade]

never tested it

i mainly made it as a proof of concept

not as something for people to actually use

[cunning silo]

its very impressive

[wanton rapids]

is an edition api coming to steamodded?

[astral glade]

that would be cool

[stone brook]

spent all of today trying to debug 1 thing, turns out i was just passing the wrong number into the function

[astral glade]

yayy programming!!!!

[wanton rapids]

oh yeah, as for why only x_mult, mult, and chips work with editions:

[astral glade]

oh interesting

shouldnt be too hard to fix then

having an h_mult edition would be interesting

[wanton rapids]

wouldn't really work for jokers, where they appear far more often

[astral glade]

it could be playing card exclusive

[wanton rapids]

oh i guess negative is already joker exclusive

[astral glade]

like how negative is joker and consumable exclusive

yeah

although playing cards CAN be negative through debug mode

i love turning some cards negative for screenshots

[sleek granite]

the poll edition function is passed an "allow negative" value, which basically just means "is this a joker"

using it for the opposite is definitely possible

(since consumables only get negative from effects as with perkeo, they dont poll edition normally)

[fickle elbow]

can you call a string like a varible in extra than into the description of the joker?

[fickle elbow]

nvm, answers yes and i figured it out

[iron onyx]

is there any way i could make the game display a message and play a sound in "context.before" without utilizing the "return" function?

[rare shell]

card_eval_status_text?

[iron onyx]

perfect, thank you~!

[supple juniper]

is it normal for windows defender to block steamodded_injector.exe?

[rare shell]

yes

[fickle elbow]

yes

[supple juniper]

and whats the reason for it detecting it

btw can you give me the github page, just so that i can make sure i didnt download the wrong one

[fickle elbow]

there is no unclosed if statements here, whats the problem?

[fickle elbow]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209564621644505158 it works the same way a viris would by injecting code, except this code injects a modder into balatro

[grand geode]

i think that means you have an extra "end"

[supple juniper]

i see

[fickle elbow]

yep, i instantly knew where to

[boreal bobcat]

bro how do you even install balamod

balamod-v0.1.11-windows.exe -a is all it says and im having trouble

like where do you put that in

cmd didnt work

[wet fiber]

anyone wanna play the multiplayer mod ?

[dusky reef]

not sure how to tune this one, is it too OP?

[wet fiber]

I don't think that's too OP, what does the X-playing joker do ?

[dusky reef]

basically a one round joker that transfers every round

[wet fiber]

alright, I think it's a nice mechanic overhaul, definitely not too op

[wet fiber]

Real nice mod, I reccomend ! ( I have it installed )

[rare shell]

youre doing sixtysuits support right

[dusky reef]

I hope I do

one day!

[grand geode]

clearly you need Sixty Suits support

[stone brook]

make sure your working directory (the file path thats displayed in the cmd) is where your balamod.exe is

you can open a cmd from the folder by typing cmd into the address bar

(click in red box then type cmd like so)

[glad fern]

where do i download mods?

[stone brook]

i think a vast majority of mods are on github. they're probably all in #1209506514763522108

[grand geode]

OKAY

we're cooking something here

[grand geode]

update: we're not cooking

[runic kraken]

wtf, im working in IT for 10 years now and this is the first time i've heard about this

[wanton rapids]

time to make more jokers

might make it also gives chips equal to its rank

a small bonus

[rare shell]

it scores the top card

[wanton rapids]

oh hm

wouldn't count towards hands because then i'd have to have three pair etc.

[grand geode]

uh

[hollow umbra]

How does the seeding system work if you were to add custom Jokers or decks that change the shop?

[grand geode]

at least it works !

[iron onyx]

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1byjvxr/enhancement_idea_the_minus_card/ i'm not crazy to think this is actually super feasible, right?

not exactly "baby's first mod" easy, but possible within the confines of steamodded

[wanton rapids]

maybe?

[iron onyx]

the only part i'm not sure is possible is making a new enhancement

[sleek granite]

you can make a new enhancement easily enough

[iron onyx]

yeah

[sleek granite]

theres no formal api but its not like hard

[iron onyx]

so the basic flow i could imagine is:

[rare shell]

reminds me of blank card

from jellymod

[iron onyx]

1.) make new enhancement
2.) make card:get_id() return a "fake_rank" value if it's not nil
3.) make get_straight(hand) check each card for this enhancement (let's call it line like i did)
4.) have it "skip" line cards, until it finds one non-line card.
5.) go backwards through the hand and assign ascending "fake_rank" values to each line card when it finds a card without the new enhancement
6.) assign "fake_rank" values of 14-10 as the loop progresses, so a hand of five line cards is an ace-high straight, or a royal flush if they're all the same suit.

or maybe just x

[haughty hinge]

I wanna see a mod with the best versions of all Jokers

it'd be so chaotic

[rare shell]

be the change you want to see in the world

[grand geode]

The Pages Update™️

(i couldn't get two columns to work)

[rare shell]

lets fucking joe

[wanton rapids]

oh boy

might make it top two?

would make it closer match the reference

and top one isn't very useful

[grand geode]

now that i've finished pages get the modifiers suggestions going

[iron onyx]

yeah, top two might be better

[grand geode]

because this page is pitiful

[wanton rapids]

X1.5 ante size (polychrome stake real)

[haughty hinge]

1.0.0 ante scaling lol

[grand geode]

top two allows more strategy ya

[grand geode]

i already have X2 base Blind size

guh

[wanton rapids]

i see

[cerulean flare]

The numbers of remaining cards are wrong with no mods installed. Has anyone encountered this situation?

[wanton rapids]

should be fixed in the latest version of steamodded?

[cerulean flare]

You are right

[wanton rapids]

there is probably a better way to do this

awesome

and it crashes, awesome

[rare shell]

lose 20% of your jollars after each boss blind

skipping disables a random joker for 1 blind

[wanton rapids]

why doesn't this work?

wait, i may be stupid

well at least it's got something

[haughty hinge]

lol

9999

i maybe wanna try making the old/scrapped Joker effects from beta

like old burnt joker my beloved

[wanton rapids]

i may be stupid

[haughty hinge]

all i gotta do is figure out how to do implement this

[wanton rapids]

oh that's funny

old blue seal synergy??

[haughty hinge]

don't you mean
old gold seal synergy

there are so many old seal effects lol

old throwback

[wanton rapids]

what was thunk cooking

[haughty hinge]

trust me it gets worse

i have a txt file with some changes

the hardest part was digging through GLUK's old vids to find these

[wanton rapids]

are those only the ones you know of?

[haughty hinge]

no im sure there are more

[wanton rapids]

also there's already a mod being made that's doing this

[haughty hinge]

but i need i find a better way cause this is tiring

the reversed balatro project doesn't do things like these iirc

[wanton rapids]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1214967538585174077

[haughty hinge]

i think they only revive the scrapped not entirely the old effects

ill check

[wanton rapids]

edge case also oops

[haughty hinge]

i think the balatro archived maybe adds the old joker effects but from what i've seen it's only the decks and vouchers and stuff

[cunning silo]

Let’s say I release my joker fusion mod, it will have an API that lets you add fusions. What do you want to see in that API?

[iron onyx]

@wanton rapids technically, i think you could edit the loc_def on the fly to dynamically color "Rank of Suit" to the suit's color

something like a loop that starts at 4 and goes to 5 (kind of redundant but saves on coding)

have it string.gsub both of those lines and replace something like "{C:suit}" with "{C:"..[suit].."}"

where [suit] is string.lower() of the suit variable

[wanton rapids]

it does do that

[iron onyx]

ah, gotcha

[wanton rapids]

it does it the same way as the idol, using {V:1} etc.

[iron onyx]

wasn't paying too much attention to the colors, they looked kinda the same

nice!

[wanton rapids]

it's more noticeable here

[iron onyx]

oh gotcha

[grand geode]

split modifiers into categories

[sleek granite]

i returneth in time to see history be made

myst has learned how guis

[grand geode]

tamariPlush

[sleek granite]

truly this is a moment

[grand geode]

go ahead
buy a joker

[sleek granite]

hhhhh what

[grand geode]

tamariPlush

[sleek granite]

oh god

also i just had a thought.... inverse perishable jokers.... slow start jokers..... regigigas jokers....

[grand geode]

reverse perishable would be cool tbh

the collection is so funny

[sleek granite]

jokers are Illegal now
no more comedy

[wanton rapids]

what if this was the gold stake effect

[rare shell]

woke society...

[grand geode]

of course i get a Wheel of Fortune Polychrome proc while testing

ffs

[sleek granite]

used to be able to make jokers.... cant anymore..... cuz woke.....

[rare shell]

[sleek granite]

it occurs to me i have yet to release a Joker

[wanton rapids]

jimbo consumable counts

[sleek granite]

no thats a tarot

classic tarot card The Joker

numbered nil

[tardy sierra]

...How do you restore Debuffed perishable cards, btw?

[rare shell]

you released yourself

you are the joker

(im kidding)

[cunning silo]

I need to figure out rotation ahhhhh I hate it

[sleek granite]

you cant

rotation....?

[rare shell]

itay i am sorry for subjecting you to this lmao

[cunning silo]

XD I love that sprite

[sleek granite]

REAL

[wanton rapids]

miracle milk???

[cunning silo]

There are so many better ways to do the transition

But I just wanna do it like that cause it’s funny

[rare shell]

funnysort

[sleek granite]

im missing something.... but thats normal i am dumb

[rare shell]

there is a sprite that i have given itay

it is intended to flip 180 degrees

itay is trying to figure out how to get the joker sprite to do a 180 rotation

in engine

[sleek granite]

can i flip 180 degrees and walk backwards out of this chatroom

[rare shell]

they call it the 360 because you turn 360 degrees and walk away

[sleek granite]

360 degrees.... hope its fahrenheit

[cunning silo]

I mean, I could probably do the rotation with a shader

But the question is

[grand geode]

you can just set self.debuff = false i think

[cunning silo]

How do I do shaders

[tall vessel]

[rare shell]

thank you discord user Thonk Θ

[sleek granite]

doesnt juice_up do rotation
