seems odd

it should probably support custom stuff

#

hm would the fusion for options and credits just
+2 hand size

#

lol

fallow bramble
#

How is this working like other colours if it gives nothing concrete?

wanton rapids
#

triggers every X rounds

#

hm

fallow bramble
#

Oh in that way

grand geode
#

drawing a Pictured as Perfect jimbo would be cool

#

i wish i had jokers to fuse
oh no wait i dont want that

haughty hinge
#

equality is busted

wary moth
#

is it still?

#

did you update

haughty hinge
#

has it changed?

wary moth
#

yes

haughty hinge
#

to what?

wary moth
#

1.5x

haughty hinge
wary moth
#

nah its fine

#

it was clearly too powerful and the fact that its possible to reach mult that high that fast was just a side effect of it being imbalanced

haughty hinge
#

dang
my 2 billion mult would translate to 300k mult with the 1.5 change lmao

wary moth
#

i feel like thats fine but it might still be too powerful

#

idk though

haughty hinge
#

it took 30 ish hands lol

sleek granite
#

only 300k mult, rookie numbers

wary moth
#

yeah fair

#

balanced

haughty hinge
#

the run took forever cause i had to lock in every time i went to the shop so i can have $1 left

wary moth
#

yeah it does that

#

intentional, even

haughty hinge
#

if im being honest the only reason i couldn't go higher is because in 1 round i went from beating the blind in a couple hands to one shotting when i didn't want to

wary moth
#

yeah i can understand that with 2x

haughty hinge
#

blue deck was an amazing choice llo

#

plasma would've been an amazing-er choice

#

now i have three unsprited jokers.....

#

killing myself now

gilded vortex
#

I'm trying to create a slightly more complicated Joker whose ability triggers off getting another Joker. Has anyone done anything similar?

#

The closest base Joker I can think of is Hologram, but it triggers off adding playing cards, so I don't think that's the same context

haughty hinge
wary moth
#

technically ceremonial dagger/blueprint/brainstorm as well

haughty hinge
#

i thin it's more of the act of obtaining the joker

wary moth
#

yeah

haughty hinge
#

like 1 in x chance to gain money when a joker is bought or something

wary moth
#

i feel like the most useful thing would be a way to detect whenever a joker is gained

#

maybe detecting whenever used joker slots goes up?

#

those are definitely equivalent

gilded vortex
#

So no

#

There are Jokers that react to selling

#

But I want to know if there's a way to detect adding a Joker to the deck

wary moth
#

detect whenever the amount of used joker slots goes up

#

and abstract measures the amount of used joker slots so theres probably a way to implement that

strange frigate
#

Guys, I'm trying to define an effect to a joker that gives the user $5 when you play a straight that contains a 6. What should I do to achieve that?

gilded vortex
#

Abstract just checks how many you have when you need the number, if I understood correctly

gilded vortex
strange frigate
#

alr ty

wary moth
gilded vortex
#

My idea is to scale when you get a Joker, so it doesn't work similarly

#

The Card.lua file defines add_to_deck, which is the function I need to detect, I believe, but I don't know how to do it

wanton rapids
#

they all work now yay!

image.png
gilded vortex
#

I mean, if there's not something built-in I imagine I could add a call to calculate Jokers myself (which I don't know how to do either), but I imagine there should be a way to make it work natively

cunning silo
#

HOW MANY SLOTS??????

wanton rapids
#

strange frigate

i should make a +1 consumable slot voucher

#

hi lyman

#

enhanceapi happened

cunning silo
#

fusion jokers also happened

gilded vortex
sleek granite
#

yes thats exactly what that says

strange frigate
#

idk, i just copied it from superposition and changed "aces" to "6" lmao

gilded vortex
gilded vortex
rare shell
#

oh boy does that mean i get to pull out my "check for X" code

gilded vortex
sleek granite
#

whip out that code

rare shell
#

its funny you mention 6 because i have code that i usually show people to check the hand containing something

hardy brook
#

So question: where do i find the code for vouchers?

rare shell
#

and the example i use is for sixes

#

so you don't need the 6>=1 part of the code, it can just be the next(context.poker etc)

strange frigate
#

so

if next(context.poker_hands["Straight"]) then
ease_dollars(5)
end
#

?

rare shell
#

give me one moment to write out a miniguide

strange frigate
#

alr ty

grand geode
hardy brook
#

Welp, made my voucher test

image.png
sleek granite
#

vouchme

hardy brook
#

And it crashed. I think because I bought every voucher or something

#

idk

#

I'll take a look

rare shell
# strange frigate so ```lua if next(context.poker_hands["Straight"]) then ease_dollars(5) end ```

so this might be a bit intimidating, but i tried my best to explain every piece of code here, this would all go under "if next(blah blah)" basically where you currently have ease_dollars(5)

                local has_a_six = false -- we declare a variable, starting as false
                for k, v in ipairs(context.full_hand) do -- for every card in your full hand
                    if v:get_id() == 6 then -- check if the current card we're looking at is a 6
                      has_a_six = true -- if it is, we set the variable to true!
                    end
                end
                if not has_a_six then -- if its not true...
                    return nil -- then we return nothing, this ends our function and ignores the rest of the code
                end
                ease_dollars(5) --other wise we give 5 dollars
                return { --and we return a message showing we got money
                  message = localize('$')..self.ability.extra.penalty,
                  colour = G.C.MONEY,
                  delay = 0.45,
                  card = self
                }```
hardy brook
#

Okay so it's not with the vouchers

rare shell
#

it might not be exactly this you might need to change your message

gilded vortex
rare shell
#

yee

#

in this context returning nil does a similar thing

strange frigate
grand geode
#

and here's if i utterly murder fusionjokers

image.png
gilded vortex
# rare shell yee

I meant that you don't need to continue the for loop once you set it to true

rare shell
#

i wouldnt use my code exactly, because, mind you, i did edit this from My joker code that has some specifically named variables like self.ability.extra.penalty

#

oh yeah definitely

hardy brook
#

Okay it definitely is something with the vouchers

rare shell
#

i just hand edited the code in discord lmao

#

the original code is actually checking if its exclusively 6s so i tweaked it

strange frigate
rare shell
#

its actually probably a good idea to figure out how to do those variables

#

so when you define your joker, you have a config field, with extra slots

#

you can put almost any type of variable inside of these extra slots

#

an example declaration

# 
local wanted_poster = {
            loc = {
                name = "Wanted Poster",
                text = {
                    "Gain {C:attention}$10{} when you",
                    "beat a {C:attention}Blind{} first hand.",
                    "Lose {C:attention}$2{} when you play",
                    "a hand past your first"
                }
            },
            ability_name = "Wanted Poster",
            slug = "wanted_poster",
            ability = {
                extra = { 
                    dollars = 10,
                    penalty = 2, }
            },
            rarity = 2,
            cost = 5,
            unlocked = true,
            discovered = true,
            blueprint_compat = true,
            eternal_compat = true
        }```
#

and if i want to get the variable "penalty" thats where we use self.ability.extra.penalty to call the "2" here

hardy brook
#

Huh... I think the challenges don't know how to deal with you grabbing all the vouchers lol

rare shell
#

it defaults you getting blank does it not

hardy brook
#

or having 4 at the start

#

Hang on, might be because of the rerolls

#

It's either freaking out because you have more than 3 vouchers at the start of challenge or freaking out because it's trying to do reroll at the start of challenge

#

Okay so it was v_reroll_surplus and v_reroll_glut

#

But hey, at least I can test the other vouchers once i add them now

#

oh crap lol forgot i have the wip archived installed

rare shell
gilded vortex
#

Anyways, while I can't figure out how to check for the context I want to, let me see if i can figure out how to do a random effect that's not succeed or fail

I know this probably is a messy way of doing this for the code, but I'm copying all the effects over into the tier 3 mod and changing it to what i need

ah yeah youre going to want to at least keep that same for the actual func declaration

so like

function Card:add_to_deck(from_debuff)
    if not self.added_to_deck then
        if self.ability.name == 'Mind Mage' then
            G.hand:change_size(self.ability.extra.h_size)
        end

    add_to_deckref(self, from_debuff)

reroll addiction starts you at $0 for reroll

may i suggest an alternate ability?

hardy brook
#

I mean... eh but sure

dapper helm
#

"Rerolls only increase price by $1 every 2 Rerolls"

half crescent
#

if you want to call it reroll addiction, make it so every reroll increases the number of times you reroll each time you do it. so the first time's free, the second time it rerolls twice and you can't control it, and so on

dapper helm
#

that sounds mostly useless

hardy brook

that sounds like a downgrade

Also i don't know how to change that coro

i mean, the name "reroll addiction" made me think of that

would probably require rewriting it which doesn't seem like it'd ruin compatibility? idk

can i ask if anyone else is having the problem of when i install the steammoded modloader it comes up as a blocked download because of a virus

When is modding likely to be officially supported in Balatro? Something like Steamodded just feels like a temporary hack to get modding working, than a proper answer to long term mod support. Especially how Windows likes to flag it as a trojan, which definitely doesnt feel like thats how modding should be (having to disable Windows Security to allow modding is insane)

yes

strange frigate

fyi if its crashing without an error log its usually a formatting error

#

i dont think theres a guide, you just gotta read other mods source code

#

and learn from them

dapper helm
west magnet
glossy mesa
#

wait

#

so

#

is this what i need

image.png
#

in the mods folder

#

with these

image.png
west magnet
glossy mesa
west magnet
#

the master directory just gives you the source code if you want to manually build it

glossy mesa
#

w

stone brook
#

do the lovely method

glossy mesa
#

which is

stone brook
#

what coro linked

glossy mesa
#

which is

#

i mean

#

im follow it

west magnet
#

I use firefox, but you should have the little arrow on the right that lets you allow the download

image.png image.png
dapper helm
#

you need version.dll from the lovely github

#

then you download the steamodded source code

#

version.dll goes in the same folder as balatro.exe

#

steamodded goes in the mods folder

glossy mesa
#

i get version.dll?

dapper helm
#

yes

glossy mesa
#

which is what

#

the entire download?

dapper helm
#

go to releases

glossy mesa
#

where

stone brook
#

on the right

glossy mesa
#

i see it

#

downloaded

#

and that goes where

#

in balatro's folder?

dapper helm
#

yes

glossy mesa
#

roaming?

dapper helm
#

the one with the exe

simple venture
stone brook
#

the one that steam opens when you browse files

dapper helm
#

right click on steam and browse local files

glossy mesa
stone brook
#

yea

dapper helm
#

yes

glossy mesa
#

done

#

what goes here

image.png
#

just core debug and loader?

dapper helm
#

download the steamodded source code and put it in the mods folder

glossy mesa
#

source code zip?

#

or extract zip into mods

dapper helm
#

source code zip and extract it into mods like this

image.png
glossy mesa
dapper helm
#

yup

glossy mesa
#

and now?

#

its good?

#

and i just need to mod

#

download

dapper helm
#

open game and check if it says steamodded top right

glossy mesa
#

well

#

i now have a command prompt

dapper helm
#

i don't remember for sure but that version of lovely may require balatro 1.0.1 (the public beta branch)

glossy mesa
dapper helm
#

yeah now you can just download mods

glossy mesa
#

so where do i mod

#

put mod

#

oh

#

there's a mod directory

dapper helm
#

yeah

glossy mesa
#

and it goes to mods

#

ok

rare shell
#

how would you inject into a function like that?

image.png
stone brook
#

the same way you wrap any other function

dapper helm
# glossy mesa here?

should keep them in their only folders if they have more than 1 file btw, so anything with a lua + assets should be in its own folder inside mods

stone brook
# 
funcs_evaluate_play = G.FUNCS.evaluate_play
G.FUNCS.evaluate_play = function(e)
  funcs_evaluate_play(e)
  -- your code here
end``` like that
glossy mesa
#

oops

rare shell
glossy mesa
#

so this goes in own folder or nah?

image.png
dapper helm
#

if its just luas it can be in mods

glossy mesa
#

ok

#

perfect

#

downloads mods just to play the game while knowing the score of what they're gonna play and doesn't bother downloading other mods

I mean, they say don’t do that

#

so my question is to do with standard pack ability. and the create card functio nwhen creating a card for a standard pack.

where are the bonuses decided?

stone brook
atomic eagle
#

i see seal and editions and wherer the card is decided (suit and number) but no bonus decisions

card.lua line 1707

stone brook
#

wdym bonus decisions

rare shell
#

wow great, I rerolled the card into itself (actually awesome that nothing broke)

image.png
atomic eagle
stone brook
#

it uses poll_edition in the create_card function

#

wait am i mixing up editions and enhancements

atomic eagle
#

does that not just do if its poly/multed/foil?

stone brook
#

i am

#

thats mb

atomic eagle
#

nah nws

#

i had to rethink for a sec

#

cuz mult is shared by both

stone brook
#

oh it does it in the create_card call

atomic eagle
#

it looks like its something to do with the inline if in the create_card line

#

depending on the string parsed

stone brook
#

"Enhanced" is enhancements

atomic eagle
#

but then i dont see anything in create_card or get_pool that actually does the enhancment

stone brook
#

so basically it generates a random number between 0 and 1, and if its >0.6 it chooses a random enhancement

#

in the first line in the standard pack generation if block

#

if you ctrl+f "stdset" thats the random number generator

#

its weird syntax

atomic eagle
#

i thought that just decides if it should pass "enhanced" or "base" into the create card function

stone brook
#

yea

#

so basically if it passes "Enhanced" then create_card will choose a random enhancement

atomic eagle
#

sorry my question is bad

#

i was unsure on where the create_card function does the enhancment decision

#

mb

stone brook
#

ohh

atomic eagle
#

like i have followed it through but im not sure where it says this string is "enhanced" i will now decide the enhancment

#

its like it treats both strings the same

#

common_events file line 2120 looks like the one

#

but i cant see it selecting any enhancments just the actual suit and rank

stone brook
#

so in the create_card function, once we pass "Enhanced", it becomes the _type, which informs the function which 'pool' that create_card will pull from

#

which is the "_pool" variable

#

that _pool variable contains all the different enhancements

#

in the next line, it chooses a random enhancement by using pseudorandom_element

atomic eagle
#

yes this is it

#

i think

#

ty

stone brook
#

npnp

atomic eagle
#

its so hidden away cuz it forces the base to be a forced key

#

and lets the enhanced go through to the pool

stone brook
#

i think base being a forced key is to just save on computation

atomic eagle
#

not having 2 monitors is killing me when tryna look through

#

hence the slow response

stone brook
#

all good all good

atomic eagle
stone brook
#

this is such a jank way to do it but it works...

image.png
#

technically, if the base forced key didnt exist, it should do the same thing

#

it just does a bunch of extra things it doesnt need to

#

like searching the "Base" pool, which is literally just the base type

#

also, i think you might be misunderstanding, but enhancements REPLACE the 'base' card rather than go on top of them

west hill
#

which is the mod people use to be able to spawn in jokers and rotate through editions on them?

stone brook
#

debugplus

#

probably

atomic eagle
stone brook
#

im 100% sure on that

#

i have to deal with it in my code

#

base is basically just an enhancement that does nothing

atomic eagle
#

but on line 2100 if the string is base then it sets a forced key

#

which then skips the pool selection in the if statement after

#

then on line 2120 the card is selected

#

from my understanding

stone brook
#

like i said, im pretty sure thats to save computation time

#

if it didnt skip the pool selection, it would just choose base anyways

atomic eagle
#

o yh cuz it wont select the pool of enhancments

stone brook
#

yea

atomic eagle
#

ok i appreciate the help

stone brook
#

np np

atomic eagle
#

that was bugging me for a while

#

cuz it acts nothing like the other addons to cards

gilded vortex
#

Do you know how to edit Balatro's localization for a mod?

stone brook
#

yea the way enhancements work are unique to them

#

its kinda annoying

atomic eagle
#

yh im tryna replicate it and ima have to rip some code apart to get it to work

gilded vortex
atomic eagle
#

the conversation me and @stone brook had above kinda goes over it

drowsy phoenix
#

anyone know of a mod that adds certain jokers/cards to a run?

stone brook
gilded vortex
#

Has anyone else made a Joker that adds Chips and Mult at the same time? (I guess any combination of Chips, Mult, and xMult would work)

stone brook
#

yes, but the message will only show mult

gilded vortex
#

I think if I edit the localization dictionary I can do it

#

But the question is how to edit it

stone brook
#

technically i did do that, but its because i used a completely different scoring step

gilded vortex
#

My backup option was to call calculate_joker from inside calculate_joker just to trigger itself again

stone brook
#

i did it by wrapping calculate_joker, yea

Good ol' Dog

hardy brook
#

I'll come back to the harder ones like omniscience and exoplanets

stone brook
#

dog my goat

gilded vortex
stone brook
#

you might be able to get away with wrapping calculate_joker, then specifically checking for if its Dog

#

then just card_eval_status_text the chips message

hardy brook
gilded vortex
#

I was going to create a context like is_this_dog=true and use that

stone brook
#

id definitely suggest against calling calculate_joker from calculate_joker

#

it will definitely break something, and also lag

gilded vortex
#

I agree, which is why I wanted to try and mod the localization files

rare shell
#

hello yes, this is dog

#

Is it at all possible for a mod to control what cards are selected when giving you a hand?

carmine mortar
west magnet
#

Lot of mods I find end up making the game far too easy or be way too overpowered, taking the fun away. But it would be neat for a mod to slightly weight the deck to be more likely to deal you better hands based on what jokers youve got. Say you have "The Order" then its more likely to deal you cards that let you get a straight, without it just giving you a 100% chance of getting that hand

#

its sad when you have the perfect jokers, then a run dies the moment all your dealt hands dont give you the right stuff

#

A mod to tilt the odds slightly more in your favour would go a long way, and wouldnt feel super broken

carmine mortar
#

And some people (me included) just want to make funny jokers for the funny gambling game and don’t balance

At all

#

In either direction

stone brook

why isnt my github loading

#

😭 i just wanna help a fellow balamodder

tropic arrow
#

lol I really broke it

hardy brook
#

what did you do?

sullen bison
#

I think you mistook my intention, I want to make the mod shine, not break it down. For a tier 3 voucher, it's just underwhelming. Cards are already $1, you are generally not happy to see them in your shops. So making those cards actually good, would make the vouchers actually worth it.

rare shell
#

gaff deck could also just start with smaller amount of cards imo

#

that'd be a neat angle

hi autumn!!

gaff deck is a voucher

tier 3 of the playing cards in shop voucher line, which tier 2 permits seals, enhancements, and editions iirc

are balamod and steammodded modding any diffrent?

steammodded is more common

it is very good!

doesnt steamodded support injection too through lovely

What comes next should inform you the error

#

Try searching for "Oops"

strange frigate
# 
main.lua:6163: [string "--- STEAMODDED HEADER..."]:22: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 16) near 'config'```
what does this mean?
rare shell
#

something went wrong relating to line 16 of your code

gilded vortex
rare shell
#

you didn't close your brackets

#

Does anyone know the function that removes the cards after they are played?

#

😔

gilded vortex
#

Here I'd google something like "lua '}' expected (to close '{' at line 16) near"

strange frigate
#

yeah i figured, but all of the brackets that i opened on line 16 are closed

rare shell
#

ive only hacked in a way of doing that

umbral pilot
#

next lovely release will the log output to a file as well

stone brook
rare shell
#

I'm deleting the cards but the sound of them moving out of bounds stays lol

gilded vortex
stone brook
#

it pops that error when youre missing a comma too

umbral pilot
#

so it'll be easier to debug when raw dogging it

rare shell
#

oh is it like

#

trying to mass delete cards or something

strange frigate
rare shell
#

because the way i do it is "delete" the card, then delete it again at end of round so it properly gets baleted

#

it kinda behaves like cards are still here

#

maybe the sound is played based on some table that I don't know about

strange frigate
rare shell
#

honestly if you paste your code block into chatgpt and ask it "am i missing a closed bracket in this lua code?" it usually gets it

strange frigate
#

alr ill try that

rare shell
#

listen say what you will about chatgpt but it is excellent for telling me im an idiot because i missed a comma somewhere

astral glade
#

chatgpt is good for assistance as a tool, but not as someting to generate ideas

rare shell
#

which is why i suggested it as more of a "validator" of sorts

#

theres other tools that do the same thing ftr

astral glade
#

did a whole class where we researched AI and learned to use chatgpt in an academic enviroment

#

it was so much fun

rare shell
#

okay different question: what is the cardarea of played cards? (might be stupid but I forgot)

umbral pilot
#

also ya'll should absolutely be using a lua lsp

like, vscode has an extension that works and will catch this sorta stuff

most of the time ™️

oh

cardarea

#

i am also stupid
