I made it so that people could use it easily

#

I even used it for one of my mod so no !
I'm enjoying doing this work especially for someone else 🙂

#

hey! me and some friends are making a mod, and we're stuck on a crash and we can't seem to find the issue. Is anyone available to help us?

gleaming talon
#

Post the issue here

#

does it crash at startup ?

strange frigate
#

the crash log?

gleaming talon
#

is there an error code ?

strange frigate
gleaming talon
#

what mod loader do you use

strange frigate
#

steammodded

gleaming talon
#

Send your code

strange frigate
#

wdym, the crashlog or the actual mod code

gleaming talon
#

the mod code

strange frigate
#

alr

gleaming talon
#

maybe you're missing a prenthesis or something

#

try removing useless functions etc

#

try making it little by little

#

is also the best way to avoid problems

#

or know where the problem comes from

finite thunder

Uhh... I am having a bit of trouble with lovely I think.

I got version.dll in my steam/steamapps/common/balatro. and my appdata/roaming/balatro/mods has this. the lovely.toml is in the steammodded folder.

and you replaced the version.dll in the balatro folder with the lovely one?

finite thunder
#

Lovely is where I got the version.dll in the first place.

uhhh

finite thunder
#

Game opens when I move lovely.toml out of the steammodded folder. but no mods are then working.

cursive compass
#

can you go into the steamodded folder and screenshot what you have

finite thunder
#

What needs to be in that folder?

#

the steammodded source?

#

or the injector.exe?

cursive compass
#

the source

#

it should look like this

image.png
finite thunder
#

Theres my mistake

cursive compass
#

what was it

#

out of curiosity

finite thunder
#

not having anything in there...

cursive compass
#

😭

#

yeah its just the steamodded source

finite thunder
#

does the calc work with plasma deck too?

brittle gorge
#

is looking at green seal mod a decent way to understand how the mod works and trying to make my own seals?

cursive compass
#

i think it should work with everything vanilla

iron kraken
#

allright guys, how do I do a simple print("test") and where does it print to

gleaming talon
#

sendDebugMessage

#

and use tk_debug

cursive compass
#

btw there are a couple settings in the preview mod you might want to look at because they could be considered cheaty

#

they're just added to the ingame settings you dont gotta mess with the lua

iron kraken
#

a little more thorough

#

google of "tk_debug" balatro shows no results so that's a quick dead end

cursive compass
#

isn't it just sendDebugMessage("text")

iron kraken
#

then where does that go

cursive compass
#

to the console that opens with your balatro

iron kraken
#

Yea I'm not seeing it anywhere

civic grail
#

Asking for a friend, does steammodded work with a macbook?

cursive compass
#

your game doesn't open with a console?

#

maybe thats just a lovely thing idk

#

oh wait you mean

#

where does the code go?

iron kraken
#

where does the message go `

cursive compass
#

if you dont have the log then idk

#

i guess here if you're using steamodded on its own

#

but i dont so idk how that works

#

oh wait

#

in the debug folder in steamodded

#

its tk_debug_window.py i think

iron kraken
#

python?.

cursive compass
#

yeah i think you need python to open that

how would quilt work, would he just be wraped up in it?

cunning silo
#

oh wait

#

quill

#

not quilt

fickle elbow
#

ok, cool

rare shell
#

@fickle elbow do you actually use symmetry when drawing face cards (saw that you also started doing them)?

#

or do you use rotational symmetry of some sorts?*

#

because I always kinda need to flip them manually in order to check

fickle elbow
#

im finding a thing that works still :/, but i think the program im using should have something like that

#

yep it has a rotational mirror tool

would be funny to see this as a mod

golden rain
#

can u mod on mac?

reef fern
#

@fickle elbow Also it might be cool to have an “atom” card that you can create by fusing a proton and an electron card. And you can fuse more electrons to increase the “level” of its ability which would also change the name to each element (hydrogen, helium, etc)

#

I guess more specifically a quark and an electron

fickle elbow
dapper helm

#

Oh sweet

rare shell
#

cooking up proton

reef fern
#

Hell yeah

fickle elbow
#

i dont think going to add particles to the pool, im probably going to have some subatomic cards that give random/specific particles

can i mod balatro on my steam deck? i wanna play some of the mods by default, but i also play balatro on my deck often cuz i can't be at my PC as much

was just gonna ask for that!

#

why do you got two INIT functions?

brittle gorge
#

isn't one for jokers and one for seals?

#

should i use just one?

astral glade
#

just one for everything

brittle gorge
#

kk

astral glade
#

also theres an API for seals now

rare shell
fickle elbow
# rare shell

i can probably still use it in subatomic cards, just under a different name

astral glade
rare shell
#

yeah thinkin about it all i really gotta do is fudge the + sign

#

what do you think it shoould be? one of the quarks?

#

or more like some "part" of quantum mechanics or w/e

brittle gorge
astral glade
#

the slug

brittle gorge
#

ohh

astral glade
#

needs to end in _seal

fickle elbow
#

probably going to go by a different name tho

gilded vortex
#

Between Balamod and Steammodded what would people generally recommend to write mods for?

fickle elbow

like how uncertainty principle is quantum flux

Quantum chaos, people trying to make bridge the gap of theories and classical mechanics. that one sounds like fun to make

brittle gorge

#

can steamodded inject lua in the middle of functions

astral glade
#

like "Red Seal"

brittle gorge
#

ohh , why the "_"?

fickle elbow
#

yes

dapper helm

at least use a private discord

fickle elbow

no, chatgpt

dapper helm

keep it on the same app

fickle elbow

no, it must be inconvenient for me

hardy brook

Lol

#

Meanwhile i use Visual Studio Code for notes

dapper helm

color needs to be something like HEX('ff00ff')

also you are not registering it

yes

halberd king looks like it is referencing something but fails lol

the queens heads look a bit small

#

good

astral glade
#

and change the atlas on the seal

brittle gorge
#

like?

astral glade
#

to the name of the new sprite

brittle gorge
#

the name of the sprite is golden_egg_seal.png

#

which is written in there

astral glade
#

yeah but the sprite is still SplatJokers

brittle gorge
#

i changed it to Golden Egg Seal but still broken

astral glade
#

change it on the seal too

brittle gorge
#

where

astral glade
#

SplatJokers to the new sprite name

gleaming talon
#

@cursive compass it is done

astral glade
#

also the hex value needs HEX() around it

dapper helm
#

it is done

brittle gorge
#

ok

gleaming talon
#

I forgot how my mod worked for a good 30minutes before understanding what was wrong

cursive compass
fickle elbow
#

i forgot to add i still don't have art for the back of the subatomic deck, and 7 booster packs for subatomic cards :/

brittle gorge
astral glade
#

HEX('6c3062')?

brittle gorge
#

forgot the commas

#

the air thinghys

whatever they are called

but at least the sprite loaded

chat i need caffeine to lock in but its already 9pm, do i make coffee anyway or get nothing done today?

tranquil roost
#

New idea for a joker, Norton antivirus

dapper helm
#

why that one in specific

tranquil roost
#

I’m uninstalling it right now

#

It summons shit joker cards all with negative and when you delete one joker another one is created in its place

dapper helm
#

imagine bonzibuddy joker that stays on your screen till you close the game

#

get it on one run and it just doesn't leave

rare shell
#

2 pair gaming

rare shell
#

the boys

dapper helm
#

where is my other boy...

rare shell
#

haven't added him yet

#

fleuron and halberd sin jokers will give +12 mult instead of +4

fickle elbow
#

based

dapper helm
#

common halberd W

rare shell
#

at the same time this'd make wild cards kinda goated

dapper helm
#

sin jokers give 3 mult in 1.0.1 btw

rare shell
#

will need to rebalance some things at some point

dapper helm
rare shell
#

"Gives 4 mult to Wild Cards, 12 to Fleuron Cards"

#

yep

#

otherwise they will be automatically rerolled in the code

#

(I REALLY hope the way I make the rerolls wont destroy other things)

dapper helm
#

i think wild cards can have a buff, as a treat

rare shell
#

well that's fair

#

we'll see

#

playtesting is the best way to determine

fickle elbow
#

instead of rerolling

rare shell
#

I feel like I can add a joker that specifically unlocks the exotic suits in the run

dapper helm
#

i mean they can already give like +8 or whatever from onyx agate and +50 chips from arrowhead at the same time

rare shell
#

and does nothing besides that

dapper helm
#

+12 isn't too much more

fickle elbow
#

you can add a tag that you can call when the player has a certain suit

Screenshot_2024-04-19_123650.png
#

i don't call that tag in my code at all

#

so it wont appear in any pools

rare shell
#

I have this sort of thing yeah

#

Even if you don't have suits but had them at some point you still will be able to get tarots and jokers

white scarab
rare shell
rigid jewel
#

Pool flags can be basically used for anything so yea you should be able to make a flag based on if you have a specific suit

rare shell
#

hmmm

#

I do need to recode this part then

#

I will need some assistance tho

#

because I don't really understand the whole thing that I need to set up

#

My code for disabling cards is this currently, look:

image.png
#

It works fine

#

I haven't encountered any weirdness but it feels like there is, hidden somewhere

#

if modded joker does something when you encounter cards in shop or booster packs for example

#

that will broke 100%

#

honestly the registering/unregistering suits system kinda scuffed too

#

I made it so the suits wont appear in the ui and they wont appear in other weird places, like in loading screen

#

and also because of that system the cards do not appear in booster packs by default

#

the scuffed part is:

  1. Exotic cards do not appear in booster packs if you do not have them in the deck yet still discovered them in the run; You can still encounter other exotic-related stuff
  2. I think UI problem could be handled differently

with the middle thing being whatever effect

sleek granite
#

what the fuck is that random call

fallow bramble
#

Also why is that random superior to 1

jovial notch
#

a number 1 thru20

#

idk

#

what is it supposed to be ;-;

sleek granite
#

did you code a random function that takes a string?

jovial notch
#

ok but if i make it not a string would it work

sleek granite
#

no

#

wtf is random()

jovial notch
#

its like pythons randrange isnt it?

#

but for lua

sleek granite
#

A) random() doesnt exist

#

B) use pseudorandom(seed)

jovial notch
#

whats (seed) supposed to be

#

a number?

sleek granite
#

pseudorandom(pseudoseed(string))

#

like its used literally everywhere in the game

jovial notch
#

so like

#

pseudorandom(pseudoseed('roll20'))

white scarab
#

"roll20"..G.GAME.round_resets.ante

#

That’s the most vanilla way to do it

#

as the string argument

sleek granite
#

which means it will literally never be less than that result and that code, even if it worked fundamentally, would never happen

#

D) please consult either the games source code or other mods to learn how things work

#

if it takes you a while to figure out, thats fine, rome wasnt built in a day and nobody expects it to be

#

E) please use something better than notepad

#

alright im out of talking points going back to sleep now

jovial notch
#

ik you reccomended it yesterday i was busy editing stuff

jovial notch
sleek granite
#

syntax highlighting alone would help spot erroneous data types like the string random

wheat mantle
#

How does one tally cards scored in a variable and then act on a specific number? I want my joker to add chips to itself every 7 cards played and add the jokers held chips to the chips side every hand

sleek granite
#

7zip can open Balatro.exe

jovial notch
#

wait rly

sleek granite
#

yes

wheat mantle
#

I’m dumb with Lua

sleek granite
wheat mantle
#

Kinda except it’s all cards scored that count, but every 7th scored card adds seven chips to the joker

gilded vortex
#

I'm trying to create a Joker to test if I installed Steammodded correctly and if the test Joker itself shows up. How do you test your mods?

sleek granite
#

you can just have a variable in your joker for the tally like you would for the chip boost, then add to the chip boost and reset the tally at 7

wheat mantle
#

The thing is idk how to have it tally scored cards or how to have it add over to the joker at 7 and then add to the score

fallow bramble
#

How is "Ride the Bus" able to get the context.scoring_hand in a context.cardarea == G.jokers and context.before but when I try to do it so I get a error with context.scoring_hand being nil?

sleek granite
#

a lot of modding is just "find thing thats similar to what you want to do, and then do that but with some changes"

gilded vortex
strong swift
fallow bramble
#

The more I code in Balatro the less I know how to code it in

#

Also Autumn what happened to the thorn?

gilded vortex
strong swift
#

i mean i think thats the only way, unless you add it to collection

#

and if there isnt a mods button in the main menu then steamodded wasnt installed right

gilded vortex
sleek granite
#

collection should be automatic if youre using steamodded apis

gilded vortex
#

Not sure what's the issue since I followed the instructions

strong swift
#

you probably didnt then

#

did you use the regular injectors or lovely

sleek granite
#

lovely >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> classic injector

gilded vortex
#

I mean, the instructions are really straightforward. I downloaded steamodded_injector.exe, dragged the Balatro executable to it, and Powershell blinked so fast I had no idea what it did

strong swift
#

this is just a way to install steamodded thats better in every way

sleek granite
#
  • mods can use lovely's features to various ends
  • its easier to update steamodded this way
  • its easier to update balatro this way
  • lovely itself is easier to update than injected steamodded
  • you get access to a console output so you can just use print() instead of the really long name debug function
#

speaking of updating steamodded that hasnt happened in a bit has it i wonder whats up with that

strong swift
#

working on booster pack api

#

(no)

astral glade
#

a lot of apis

sleek granite
#

tbf maybe i just have unrealistic expectations because when i joined there was Many Update back to back

#

rare shell
#

Did they ever figure out why lovely wasn't working on new beta

gilded vortex
sleek granite
#

just needed to change the dll they're pretending to be

fun fact: you can put the lovely dll in your system32 folder to add steamodded to windows (lies and misinformation)

how much space?

So I’m working with the loader in the into the jokerverse mod to load my work but it doesn’t show up in game, and idk if it’s my code or the main lua code that itsflowwey wrote

What should I share to help debug this?

boreal ibex
jovial notch

so much space it becomes negative and instantly gets set to the max integer turning off your computer completely

in other words, DO NOT DELETE SYS32

if you reach 0 discards

you waste 1 anyways

so there is incentive not to use all your discards and leave 1 if possible

Sorry if this information is pinned/available somewhere, I didn't see it. Is there a generally accepted modloader? I see Balamod, Lovely, and Steamodded, but I don't know if either of those is preferrable. I do see there are 2 API's, but they both require Steamodded?

steamodded with lovely is the best'

most widely used i mean

lavish jackal

Steamodded has by far the best dev experience of the bunch imo

what about steamodded makes it easier for devs compared to the others

sorry i dont know much about modding

A lot of mods uses it so they can be used for references

i see ok i assume almost all devs are using steamodded then?

the number 1 thing people hate when writing code of any kind, especially mod code is writing an unnecessarily large amount of boilerplate

nope, but you can take the "API" from codex arcanum

and then credit itay

its an "API" cuz all it does it adds the packs to the game, no opening logic

I'm trying to make a first mod but Balatro is crashing before I can open it. The command prompt shows some error message but it automatically closes before I can read it. Any help?

that means you have an error with the lua compiling

like a misplaced character or mispelling

is there not a log for that case?

does it close too on crash?

Forgot to add something to my evil jonklers (yes this joker is selected, spot what's missing)

Hey anyone know how to add two effects to a joker, seal ?

There's no "+" when you gain money no?

but is the joker still able to be deleted or transformed?

#

Forgot about that ngl

shy pivot

lol

#

deleting the sell button should be used for something, though. it's too funny a move

#

increase value of all jokers in possession. cannot sell lol

primal latch
#

that's actually not bad, with the joker that gives you mult based on sell value

shy pivot
#

yeah, that's the first strat i thought of

#

but probably not all that useful outside that

primal latch
#

eh, the cool jokers are the ones that don't synergize except for specific cases, very satisfying when they do though

pale anvil

looking at the api wiki, there seems to be no api implementation for new stakes?

oh god no I have to code an entire new ability system oh jesus christ what have i done

#

might as well just fork the api and make a pull request after xD

gilded vortex
#

Has anyone else modded a Joker that triggers cards multiple times?

primal latch
gilded vortex
gilded vortex
#

Wait, can I post it here?

primal latch
#

rules say source can't be shared, but that it can be discussed in this channel
idk

gilded vortex
#

It's line 674 of state_events.lua

primal latch
#

I'm on the beta, is it eval_card?

gilded vortex
#

I guess eval.joker.repetitions isn't a number as a result of my code

primal latch
#

looking at it, repetition is a boolean

gilded vortex
#

Well G.FUNCS.evaluate_play

#

Okay, Sock and Buskin and Hanging Chad both have a local variable self.ability.extra+1. Maybe that's what's missing?

#

Not sure how to specify that in Steamodded

primal latch
#

where you declare your ability table in set_ability, you'd append the table with extra, card.ability.extra
wish I could be more helpful, but I literally just opened up the source today

#

or at least it should be something like that

jovial notch
#

question

#

wait nvm

gilded vortex
#

Which suggests that self.ability.extra is defined elsewhere

fallow bramble
#

game.lua is your best bet

gilded vortex
#

I think, anyways, Idk Lua syntax

primal latch
#

lua is all tables, so

fallow bramble
#

That's were jokers are initially built

gilded vortex
#

Hmmm, there it seems to be defined as just 1

primal latch
#

yeah, it seems like extra+1 is just incrementing

#

hmm

gilded vortex
primal latch
#

I'm looking into it

gilded vortex
#

It works!

fallow bramble
#

If you look at a retrigger card inside the Card:calculate function, you can see they use something called repetitions, which equals the "extra" value they have

gilded vortex
fallow bramble
#

Well it was worth writing this text lol

gilded vortex
lavish jackal

gilded vortex
fallow bramble

#

so is there a reason to use extra instead of an arbitrary key for things outside the scope of the regular table values?

sleek granite
#

whats a regular table value

#

whats extra

primal latch
#

uh, so ability.extra is for values outside what is normally relevant
by regular table value I actually mean the basic table keys the game uses
so outside the scope of things like discovered, etc

fallow bramble
#

Tbh I always use extra cuz for some reason some variables aren't written the same or other weird gimmick 💀

fallow bramble
primal latch
lavish jackal
primal latch
#

sorry if I'm asking a lot, I haven't familiarized myself with the source much yet

like for example if I have an ability that needs to store some values like, played hands or such

primal latch
#

gotcha

fallow bramble

If you're not on the experimental version line 267 of card.lua has a list of usable non-extra variable

set_ability only takes certain keys

Tbh I should clean my code and stop using extra when not needed 😅

meanwhile i went from using ability's keys to exclusively using extra

I've checked and all jokers who needed ability values have extra in it 😅

use extra

where it wouldnt make a difference to not use it

high roll gives 2 * roll mult and low roll gives roll * (chips^2)???

maybe since jackpot is x1.5

you could roll with that and just

Good idea but this is meant to be a joker with strong risk

make high roll +10 mult per joker and low roll +50 chips per joker

So both high roll and low roll being positive is kinda iffy

or have it be lower chip value

how about
