[raven rover]

or method

one can hope!

[lean dune]

Use the 0.9.8 release, not the current state of the repository

[pseudo hare]

Aha.

Alright, trying that now.

[lean dune]

there's a release with breaking changes coming up, it's currently unfinished

[raven rover]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/steamodded/releases ^

[sleek granite]

me when i still develop on 1.0.0 anyway

[lean dune]

that's good, but others wanna use mods that aren't updated to 1.0 yet

(me literally developing 1.0.0)

[sleek granite]

im just being a silly goof

[pseudo hare]

Wait, I was using the 0.9.8 release.

[sleek granite]

not having to do art lets me go off

[pseudo hare]

Or...

[fallow bramble]

As long as you please provide a list of what has to be changed on our parts I'm all good

[fallow bramble]

You're so smart...

If I ever do another joker mod it will just be a pixel of color..... wait

[pseudo hare]

Oh weird-- the Modded Version says it's "1.0.0 ALPHA-STEAMODDED" in the crash log...

[sleek granite]

yeah dont do that

[pseudo hare]

I specifically downloaded 0.9.8 though...

[sleek granite]

emojiokers is gonna be like 50% shitpost garbage and 50% awesome things nobody's ever done before

[wanton rapids]

colour cards:

do suspension railway 🚟

[sleek granite]

sus...

[raven rover]

so many tutorials im looking up only tell me how to add modding to the game

not how to mod it yourself!

[sleek granite]

good luck :)

[grand geode]

half options and half credits

[raven rover]

is it more a discover yourself thing?

[sleek granite]

yeah

pretty much

[raven rover]

where is the source code even located hold on lmao

[sleek granite]

7zip + balatro.exe = profit

[viscid spear]

what this mean

[raven rover]

thanks thats smart

[wanton rapids]

existing jokers

[viscid spear]

oh like

in mods?

[raven rover]

what does one use to open lua files?

[sleek granite]

yeah missed jokers

[viscid spear]

ah

[sleek granite]

they are text files

[raven rover]

notepad?

ah

[sleek granite]

please do not use notepad please use literally anything else please please please

[raven rover]

maybe visual studio or something

yeah lmao

uglyy

[pseudo hare]

Huh...

[viscid spear]

i do not have knowledge of every mod lol

notmario did you see the news

[pseudo hare]

Why am I getting the 1.0.0 alpha of Steamodded every time I try to load up Balatro?

[raven rover]

old install?

or try uninstall reinstall balatro

[pseudo hare]

I reverified the integrity of the files and did a clean install.

[raven rover]

hmm

[pseudo hare]

Using the Terminal method for Mac.

[wanton rapids]

what is the news

[lean dune]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases/0.9.8 just to be clear, you tried to install via this page?

[viscid spear]

is version.dll in the steamapps/common directory

[pseudo hare]

Lemme re-add it.

[wanton rapids]

damn nice

[pseudo hare]

Coulda sworn it wasn't needed due to the fact that .dll files are Windows-readable-only.

[lean dune]

there's another lovely.dylib file for Mac, I don't think its usage is well documented tho

[rare shell]

awesome

[pseudo hare]

Yeah I saw the dylib file.

Tried adding that in after the .dll failed.

[pseudo hare]

Wait-- it has to be in the steamapps/common directory???

Not steamapps/common/Balatro ?

[viscid spear]

no thats what i meant

[pseudo hare]

Yes.

[raven rover]

at least it has dark mode

studio is at least better that way

[sleek granite]

me when i leak source code

[raven rover]

only program i got other than notepad

oops

no ban me

I WAS SHOWING DARK MODE

[sleek granite]

hahaha

[raven rover]

it is open source

but

i forgot if thats a rule

[sleek granite]

game is not open source

[raven rover]

or like

wrong term

it allows you to change it

[pseudo hare]

OHHHH I figured it out.

[raven rover]

words is not me good

[pseudo hare]

I used the Mac directions, but the Terminal function git clone https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded.git links to the LATEST DEV VERSION (aka Alpha 1.0.0).

That's why it's freaking out!

Is there any way to make it so that I can point the git clone function to https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/tree/0.9.8 instead? Or does it need to have .git at the end of the URL?

Shoot... there doesn't seem to be a way to clone that repository...

Yeah, it seems as though I can only download the latest .git library that was updated 14 hours ago...

Dang...

[pseudo hare]

Tried using git clone on that page. Keeps giving me a not found message.

[lean dune]

There's an Assets section at the bottom of the release page, you should just be able to download the source code of that version there instead of git cloning it

[pseudo hare]

I see.

One second while I try installing that.

[lean dune]

though you should be able to specify 0.9.8 as the tag/branch to git clone, -b or whatever the flag is for that, I'm not sure

[sleek granite]

ok

[pseudo hare]

I see it here... --work-tree=0.9.8

I think that's the flag.

[pseudo hare]

☝️

Oh wait-- yeah, -b for branch.

[pseudo hare]

Okay, got the right branch.

This time...

It's crashing on a different screen.

main.lua:2871: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' [table expected, got nil]

[dusky reef]

holy moly

[pseudo hare]

Yeah, talk about a headache.

I'm VERY much an amateur (but an enthusiast all the same) at running commands from Terminal, so this is all pretty wild territory to me.

[lean dune]

hm

[dusky reef]

bro it works

[pseudo hare]

So I think I know what I'm doing now, but I think the issue now is getting the Lovely patcher to recognize the .dylib.

[lean dune]

I'm no expert on the mac stuff, it really needs better docs

you could try to see if you find anything useful in #1214591552903716954

[pseudo hare]

Oh hell yes. I got the "run_lovely.sh" working, but it still crashes to the same error screen.

The difference THIS time is...

...I can actually scroll down the error log to see the REASON for the problem!

INFO - [GAME] file not found: main.lua: No such file or directory

Main.lua doesn't exist???

[lean dune]

it always says that when it crashes

try navigating to lovely/dump/main.lua in your mods directory and checking what's around the line it crashed at

[swift matrix]

This is why I'm glad I use linux not mac :P

[pseudo hare]

Huh... this folder wasn't here before...!

There's a folder called "Balatro\Mods" here in my app data...

It's totally empty though.

[swift matrix]

well that souds like it's partially workng

it is supposed to create that dolfer if it doesn't exist

that's where your steamodded should be

[pseudo hare]

Hmmm...

Lemme try making a blank folder/file called "dump" and "main.lua" and see if creating the files manually can help specify the problem...

[swift matrix]

I don't think it'll even work without at least trying to load steamoded

so make sure you have it in your mods folder it created

[pseudo hare]

I already have a Steamodded folder with the proper directories "core"/"debug"/"loader" in the Mods folder.

[swift matrix]

and the toml file?

[pseudo hare]

Did you want me to place the "lovely" folder NEXT to the "Steamodded" folder?

Wait-- where did the--

Did I accidentally delete the toml file???

[swift matrix]

lovely will create a folder in the mods directory iirc but you don't need to make it manually.

[pseudo hare]

Ehh...

But seriously though--

Where did I put that .toml file???

[swift matrix]

in the steamodded folder

each mod has their own lovely.toml

[pseudo hare]

Yeah, I don't have--

Y'know, that might explain a lot.

I was trying to load a single .lua file.

One of the example mods.

[swift matrix]

Basically if it is how it is on other systems, you just need to put the lovely dll (or I guess dylib in your case) in the game folder, and all your mods in that mods folder in the appdata folder, inclusing steamodded

[pseudo hare]

Right right, I get that--

[swift matrix]

not all of them need a lovely.toml, atm, but steamodded does

[pseudo hare]

OH.

[swift matrix]

and every mod should be in its own folder in the root of the mods folder

just for reference

[pseudo hare]

Good to know. Made a folder for that test mod I was trying out, "Deck of 4s".

[lean dune]

Steamodded includes the lovely.toml file you need for it where you need it. Sorry if that was confusing, the lovely folder is created automatically

[swift matrix]

I'd just test with a proper mod tbh, but id the dev says it should still work then I guess it should

But yeah the lovely.dll file for steamodded stays in the root of the steamodded folder where it came from

[hoary nymph]

this used to be 3 bananas

[pseudo hare]

PFF--

Okay, now I got a straight-up stack overflow.

So as it turns out--

There was a directory created in the Apple version of AppData (called "Application Support") LITERALLY called "Balatro\Mods". This looks and works fine on PCs, BUT...

Macs use the OTHER direction of slash.

Something in a single piece of code is telling my computer to create a folder and then look in "Balatro\Mods" when it SHOULD be looking in "Balatro/Mods".

The only difference is the "/" and the "\".

Dang...!

Actually, it made the lovely folder in there, too...!

What the heck?

[sleek granite]

yall think imma win?

[pseudo hare]

But hey, now I've got that main.lua file.

[fallow bramble]

Ye

[pseudo hare]

So I dunno if I should be talking out loud about the code of Lovely out here--

But it seems that the line that's freaking out main.lua has something to do with a function for initializing a game object.

[sleek granite]

sounds like 1.0.0 steamodded code...

[pseudo hare]

Again? I thought I purged 1.0.0!

[swift matrix]

funny that it doesn't do anything funny like that on linux

I guess because it's still working in windowsland basically with Wine

and the slash thing must be a pretty solved issue there

[pseudo hare]

I just checked my Steamodded folder in Balatro/Mods.

Core.lua explicitly says it's version 0.9.8-STEAMODDED.

[lean dune]

could you show the surrounding lines of code?

[pseudo hare]

AHA.

Yeah, there is one piece of the MODDED_VERSION that says it's still in 1.0.0 somehow.

And apparently that's what's causing the conflict.

I have no clue how it slipped through.

[lean dune]

in that case, delete your steamodded folder and grab the code from the release again

[pseudo hare]

Doing that now.

Yeah, something's wrong with something in the release files...

...unless--

Wait.

Weird...

When I removed "main.lua" from the lovely folder, it didn't make a new one.

It's something in main.lua of the lovely dump that's causing the problem, methinks.

Starting on line 399.

Of main.lua.

[swift matrix]

remove all the dumped files and run it from clean

[pseudo hare]

Okay!

Revalidating the files via Steam.

Playing fresh, it works fine.

Version 1.0.1f-FULL.

Okay, so... re-inputting liblovely.dylib and run_lovely.sh into the folder with Balatro.app.

[swift matrix]

does it clear those on mac? on linux it leaves version.dll alone

[pseudo hare]

version.dll?

I'm not using it.

[swift matrix]

I was saying by analogy

Version.dll is all you need to use on windows and linux, and it isn't cleared when revalidating gae files

[pseudo hare]

Ah, well, I never put it in the Balatro folder to begin with, since it can't run on Mac.

[swift matrix]

yeah, I was talking about the files you do use

lol

[pseudo hare]

Oh--

Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with liblovely or run_lovely...

I removed them from the folder while it reverified the files on Steam just to be safe.

[swift matrix]

ah fair

I was just curious

[pseudo hare]

So now I guess I'm supposed to run the "run_lovely.sh" script, since that's what made the Balatro\Mods folder in the first place.

[swift matrix]

I don't think it'd mean anything if revalidating did remove them, it'd just be mac being different

[pseudo hare]

Anyway, so I'm having to go into the terminal and running the command sh [long-file-path-leading-to-the-Balatro-steamapp-folder]/run_lovely.sh.

[swift matrix]

I'd see what happens if you don't first tbh

[pseudo hare]

Yeah, it runs smoothly.

After running run_lovely.sh, the game still boots up, surprisingly.

But there's no sign of a modding interface.

[swift matrix]

can you not just open the folder directly in the terminal ans not have to put the path?

[pseudo hare]

Nope.

Says "zsh: permission denied".

Either that, or if I don't put in the filepath by dragging the file into Terminal, it'll say "zsh: file not found".

[swift matrix]

You mac users and your dragging :P

[pseudo hare]

So you HAVE to run it as a "shell script".

That's why it needs the "sh" at the beginning of the command.

[swift matrix]

well yeah I know that

[pseudo hare]

Anyway.

Okay, so...

Good news is...!

Balatro\Mods now exists in my Application Support directory.

[swift matrix]

just on linux you can right click on a file explorer window and bring up a terminal already at that folder

[pseudo hare]

I've got a clean build of Steamodded here.

Version 0.9.8 specifically.

[swift matrix]

is it in the mods folder?

the one it created

[pseudo hare]

I'm now placing it in there.

Yup.

[swift matrix]

you sure do everything one tiny step at a time :P

[pseudo hare]

I only need the core, debug and loader folders, and the lovely.toml file in there, correct?

[swift matrix]

well the no sign of a modding interface is at least correct for not having stemodded I think

[swift matrix]

yeah, afaik, though I unzipped the whole folder there

[pseudo hare]

Ah, alright. I'll leave it as is.

Okay.

Just Steamodded in there, yeah?

I'll try to open up Balatro again.

[swift matrix]

I mean that should work, the mod list will just be empty

[pseudo hare]

Where does the mod list appear?

[swift matrix]

but if you wanted you could put 30 mods in there and it should work fine

[pseudo hare]

Is it a button?

[swift matrix]

on the title screen, it adds a new button on the right

[pseudo hare]

Nope.

Still says 1.0.1f-FULL.

For the version number.

[swift matrix]

it doesn't say 0.9.8 steamodded under that?

[pseudo hare]

Nope.

[swift matrix]

seems to not be loeading the mods at all, You might have to add something to the steam startupp instructions like I did on linux

[pseudo hare]

Huh...

[swift matrix]

the same thing was happening

[pseudo hare]

Startup instructions?

[swift matrix]

it's in the preferences meny for the game on steam

[pseudo hare]

I see.

Launch Options, huh...

[swift matrix]

that's what I meant

but idk what to add if anything on mac

[pseudo hare]

Ah, here we go.

No, I have an idea.

[swift matrix]

@umbral pilot is the dev, so he should know

[livid fern]

what should i do if the steamodded_PS_injector crashes after asking me if i wanna instal 7-zip?

[pseudo hare]

Oh wait-- I nearly changed the launch option as if it were a Source-engine game.

It's not.

OH MY GOD I GOT IT TO WORK.

I needed to run the game again with Steamodded inside the Balatro\Mods file... by re-entering the run_lovely.sh script AGAIN.

And yes.

There is now a Mods folder in the REGULAR part of the Balatro appdata folder.

THAT'S where I can put my mods.

Okay!

I guess, uhh--

If anyone needs help setting up Balatro with Steamodded on their Silicon Mac, I can help now!

Took a long while for me to figure out the file architecture, but now it works!!!

Alright, now I can finally start creating code and assets for the mod I wanted to make.

[iron onyx]

let me know if this meme belongs anywhere else but

balatro mod coding in a nutshell

https://tenor.com/view/sponge-bob-chocolate-finally-laughs-maniacally-gif-14228908

[fallow bramble]

So true

[kindred osprey]

is there a mod to choose your starting tag

i hate rerolling over and over

[tribal sail]

reverie has a deck where all skip tags get replaced with a 1 in 4 choice of tags

[stone brook]

https://github.com/nicholassam6425/balatro-mods its not exactly choosing, but quick-restart makes rerolling really, really, really fast

[kindred osprey]

Ty bro

[exotic shadow]

Oh you can also do that with debug mode and pressing b

[sleek granite]

guys do i sell yorick

[grand geode]

cloud 9 bad

clueless~1

[strong slate]

is it alright to ask for installation help here? o:

[sleek granite]

show me a better joker lineup you cant

[fallow bramble]

So cool

[sleek granite]

yes

[strong slate]

awesome!

Trying to install Lovely+Steamodded, get version.dll in /Balatro, get source zip for steamodded for lovely in a folder in /Balatro/Mods, stick a few mods in /Mods, run Balatro but nothing outside of Lovely console and normal gameplay. What am I missing? (there's no dwmapi.dll but i see talk of that everywhere, and the console that pops up appears to not see any mods)

When the game loads up, there is no steamodded underneath the version number either.

[grand geode]

the version.dll should be in the balatro installation folder

the mods folder should be in appdata\roaming\balatro

[strong slate]

Ohh!

Yep that was it, i was working out of the game directory the whole time. Thank you!!!

[exotic shadow]

Me with the save edited juggler that gives inf mult

[blazing whale]

hi i need help with the game in my mods folder there are codex arcanum. lua and CA_Overrides.lua and the game crashes when i open the game with these files how can i resolve ?

[grand geode]

post crash log

[blazing whale]

one sec

[lean dune]

that looks like an incomplete installation of codex arcanum

you need all the files, not just some of them

[blazing whale]

could you tell me them

[cunning silo]

There is the releases page in the GitHub

Download the latest release, and extract the files into a folder in your mods folder

Hi, I made codex

[blazing whale]

thanks a lot

also hi

[sleek granite]

definitely read this as "hi i am codex" first

[blazing whale]

wich files should i install?

[grand geode]

go into the release button on the right

[blazing whale]

i'm blind

didn't see it

[exotic shadow]

Reminds me of the old undertalemodtool readme

[blazing whale]

well i'm dumb

[sleek granite]

same

[umbral pilot]

!!! this would be amazing

that script should be runnable through the Steam UI - if you set your launch params to the shell script it should just work

[pseudo hare]

Oh. Huh. I'll have to try that.

It'd save me a lot of trouble having to go through Terminal with that sh command.

[swift matrix]

now I just need an Oops all 6s

Got plenty of room for one due to the eerie inn cine

[pseudo hare]

Hmm. I appear to be having trouble finding a command that would work in the Steam UI...

[exotic shadow]

You can overwrite the launch args on steam

I think you can just put the path of the command you want to run in it and then %command% after it so steam runs your command not its command

Also make sure the script is executable

[pseudo hare]

All it's doing is opening a terminal window at Balatro.app.

[exotic shadow]

I know lovely on windows opens a terminal

[pseudo hare]

"/Users/chimichanga94/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro/run_lovely.sh" %command%

This is the command I gave it; modifying the path or any args outside the quotes causes Steam to throw back an "Unknown error".

[exotic shadow]

Not sure if it also does on macOS

Can you open a terminal and just try running the first part of that?

As just a sanity check

[pseudo hare]

Ah, I see what you're getting at here--

So in Terminal, what actually makes the program run is the sh command before the filepath.

[exotic shadow]

Are you getting permission denied if you try running it just as is?

[pseudo hare]

So in order to run the "run_lovely.sh" program (which allows Balatro to open and run with mods), I just type sh /Users/chimichanga94/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Balatro/run_lovely.sh

If I just run the program as-is, it gives a Permission Denied error, yes.

[exotic shadow]

Ok try rubbing chmod +x "<path-to-run_lovely.sh>" then running the script

[pseudo hare]

Okay, my Mac REALLY didn't like that.

[exotic shadow]

Right that might be cause your not in the right PWD

try running it from steam now

[pseudo hare]

With or without the launch args?

Because with the Launch Args, it crashes the Mac with a "LOVE quit unexpectedly" error message and some log data.

It's saying that liblovely.dylib is of an incompatible architecture (I have an "arm64" machine but it's saying it needs "x86_64").

[exotic shadow]

Ok not sure at this point

@umbral pilot do you know what to do here?

[pseudo hare]

I guess I'll just have to deal with running run_lovely.sh in terminal with that command each time I want to run Balatro with mods.

I mean, it's inconvenient, but at least it works.

[devout citrus]

my game keeps crashing on startup and all it says is Stack overflow

literally 0 mods in my folder rn

[stone brook]

verify file integrity thru steam

u double installed a modloader

[devout citrus]

okok

[sterile hornet]

how do i keep the lovely debugger on screen or do i just need the best reaction timing

what i got

best guess is i need to update morefluff

[pale breach]

Anyone know how I can add a hand type to an existing joker? (By which I mean create a new hand type with its own planet card that requires a specific joker to be able to play it.

[lean dune]

steamodded 1.0 will come with its own poker hand API

[pale breach]

Actually I'd be adding two new hand types since the hand type would also work with flush. I'd assume it would be the same score as straight/straight flush respectively for ace, two, three, five, eight?

[polar oyster]

Сhat, is this a good idea, or is it better to debuff related to debt rather than hand and hand size?(For example, start with -10$)

[pale breach]

I'd think a concert deck would increase the number of faces and or increase the value of faces.

[oblique berry]

fyi this is the error i got when trying to play more fluff the other day

[dapper helm]

i think the dev said they were gonna try to fix it

[oblique berry]

gotcha, was supposed to post it last week but was exhausted. wanted to go ahead and send it

[dapper helm]

do not give -1 hand

[gilded vortex]

Why not?

[dapper helm]

black deck

gold stake

agony

your deck's bonus should be at least twice as good as +1 joker slot

[gilded vortex]

hmm I had this idea for Black Deck where it’d start with an extra Joker slot but also a random Eternal Joker

[polar oyster]

hmm, maybe my ideas are too similar to the black deck, because if you get two negative jokers, there will be 1 more joker slot

then it's probably better to start with -10$

[brisk seal]

I had a mod idea, #🕹・game-discussion message, will be very “fun”.

[rigid jewel]

Showdown blind that has all the effects of all the blinds you've previously beaten would be fire.

[woeful finch]

eye and mouth problem

water and needle problem

[brisk seal]

You can only play one hand anyway

[brisk seal]

No conflictions just super difficult

[brisk seal]

I was thinking just all of them, but the blind won’t spawn naturally, but would have a big payout

[swift matrix]

first naneinf. Spoiler for the new spectral from Reverie

I'm sure it had nothing to do with the like 6 copies of BBBalatro's actually square joker hiding under that TV thing

[icy smelt]

Hello, i try to change the spirite of spectral Card but when i launch my game nothing has changed… any advice

[brisk seal]

Not enough money

[gilded vortex]

How did you try?

[icy smelt]

On Reddit it said i need to extract the exe file of the game then go to ressource ans do what i want but it reset itself

[gilded vortex]

The easy way to avoid it resetting itself is to make it into a mod

Probably with Steamodded

[icy smelt]

Okok i Will try

Thanks

[normal snow]

do all mods disable achievements? ive had some mods installed for a 2 days and haven't got achievements since then, including me beating black stake. i would think that only gameplay altering mods would disable achievements

[rare shell]

Yes

You can download an achievement enabler thougg

[round ore]

should I ask about a modding crash here or bug report

?

anyway, this is the error I get every time I launch the game with steammodded on I have no mods and I deleted and reinstalled it multiple times is still not working any help

[lean dune]

that does not look like you have no mods

you have an incomplete install of Mika's Mod Collection

[exotic shadow]

The crash log should show on balatro's window. If it's not there might be an issue with the crash handler. However, if you need to debug without it, what I did was screen recorded it, then played it back to find it, which isn't very fun.

[round ore]

I have deleted balatro and all my mods and can't figure it out

[sleek granite]

thats not the folder mods go in

[round ore]

where is it?

that might be my problem lol

I have mods I and just don't know where they are

maybe

[fallow bramble]

File path should look like this
C:\Users\Your_User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods

[broken patrol]

AppData is a hidden folder so you need to enable viewing them at the 3 dots

[round ore]

thx

fixed it thanks

[edgy sequoia]

hey yall, uh i downloaded the mod injector, but before I can drop in the balatro exe it instantly closes. Any help? am i missing something...

[edgy sequoia]

Thank you!

now, uh is there like a list of where I can find mods?

or is it just look through modding posts

[versed raptor]

does anyone know if this is still a thing?

[gilded vortex]

Yeah it’s mostly #1209506514763522108 right now

its not like its backed by thunk tho

[lavish jackal]

just follow the Steamodded thread

[swift matrix]

I mean the modding channel should have some sort of moderation of its own

[swift matrix]

To this

[lavish jackal]

not.. really?

[rare shell]

i mean

[lavish jackal]

again I feel like it's more on you to keep up to date with the changes than on Thunk

[swift matrix]

Yeah, I mean it'd not for my sake so much as the devs of all the mods

[rare shell]

it would be nice

to have like

1 mod dedicated to modding chat, if only so we can ping them to pin our title posts

[cinder sage]

(would a modding server be allowed?)

[swift matrix]

Some don't even know that big breaking changes are around the corner yet

[rare shell]

well just modding in general not modding chat

[lavish jackal]

i wouldn't do that

it's a schism and a bad one at that

[rare shell]

i disagree

anyone else who agrees with me can join my discord server

[strong swift]

yeah making a modding server might just make things more confusing

[cinder sage]

another?

[strong swift]

fixed

[rare shell]

no i get what you mean

is the balamod server doin ok

[lavish jackal]

is balamod in general doing ok

they're kind of behind by 2 generations

[rare shell]

idk whos maintaining it now tbh

if its still uwudev godspeed

[strong swift]

i respect what balamod's trying to do but with lovely i dont think it really has anything new to offer

[lavish jackal]

there's one feature that would be very very good for smods btw

gitupdate

[strong swift]

what

[lavish jackal]

basically, having the ability to pull the latest mod updates from github

[strong swift]

ok thats nice

[lavish jackal]

say I'm on Codex 1.1.2

and Codex 1.1.3 is out

[rare shell]

i think thats been suggested before

[lavish jackal]

I could have an update badge show up and click on it to update the mod or such

[exotic shadow]

Mods if I made a bot that let people pin things in their own threads, would you be interested in adding it?

[cinder sage]

an in-game mod disabler would be nice

like uncheck and restart

[rare shell]

i do have to wonder, does github have like checks for stuff like
in the case of gitupdate, is there some prevention of uploading malicious code, like when we upload our repos does that get screened before its even sent to the servers or is it after the fact type thing

[lavish jackal]

it wouldn't be hard even, it'd be a feature that the mod dev could add by adding their github repository link

[rare shell]

i think thats coming in smods 1.0

[exotic shadow]

I don't really think so

[lavish jackal]

it'd just pull from github with curl iirc

[exotic shadow]

But I think they can terminate your account

[rare shell]

i know that sorta happened with curseforge iirc

(im not trying to fearmonger about an autoupdate feature btw)

[exotic shadow]

It might also be nice to invest in a deticated mod platform for managing mods

[rare shell]

(would be sick)

[lavish jackal]

I think it'd be possible to set up a system, but it wouldn't be universal

you'd have to link your github repo in your mod header

[strong swift]

the issue is making it widely used

[lavish jackal]

i don't think a mod platform is needed

a mod registry would be useful though

again, it's just about providing a link to the repo, from there you can use CLI stuff to get to releases and autoupdate

[exotic shadow]

I mean if you just stuck a way to auto update or auto install mods into steamodded for it and then it would get decent adoption

[lavish jackal]

and if you had an online mod registry that people can add to, you could even set up a small mod browser in-game in distant future

[swift matrix]

Maybe before we talk about that, we should have people actually contributing to awesome-balatro :p

[lavish jackal]

think tmodloader

[swift matrix]

They welcome PRs

[lavish jackal]

not a fan of awesome-balatro as a solution

it's too static

[rare shell]

awesome-balatro is very epic but at some point a formal categorizing website or at least some version of awesome-balatro thats like, tagged or some shit would be cool

i propose boorulatro

(i dont)

[lavish jackal]

no no lyman i fw boorulatro

[rare shell]

thats the fumes i huffed today from using a flamethrower at work today talkin

[swift matrix]

I like those short of link lists, but yeah it's not a complete solution by any means

[rare shell]

its a nice wiki-esque landing page

[gilded vortex]

I can’t tell if this is serious or not

[rare shell]

it is not serious my friend

i promote unity (:

[lavish jackal]

also realistically, setting up a mod browser system wouldn't be that difficult - you'd just need a server that can host an array of json files with a static site loader for user's convenience

[swift matrix]

It's just a really nice way to format a resource for people who just wanna find all the mods in one place

[cinder sage]

just

[rare shell]

could this theoretically be deployed on something like github-pages

[lavish jackal]

from there you can set up a hook from SMODS into that array of JSONS, and use that with some git CLI magic

[gilded vortex]

Wouldn’t it be balatrooru

[exotic shadow]

I think thunderstore might have some support for balatro already.

[cinder sage]

i think so?

[rare shell]

unfortunately while i love r2modman if the community does not decide to engage with maintaining a thunderstore page its kind of a drowning boat situation

[lavish jackal]

the whole point here being to keep the mod browsing and debugging why mods dont work on playerside entirely ingame

we're already getting there with steamodded completely dropping classic injector and forcing you to use lovely

[dapper helm]

boorulatro

[lavish jackal]

second step would be to allow mod creators to link their github repos for autoupdating purposes, that way we'd eliminate people asking about updates

third step would be to expand on that idea by creating a tmodloader style mod browser right in balatro

[dapper helm]

god autoupdates would be incredible

[lavish jackal]

and not that hard even

it's literally just git CLI

[dapper helm]

its the biggest thing steamodded could add from a player standpoint imo

[lavish jackal]

yep

ideally we want to remove at least 90% of player complaints with mods

by providing QoL features that resolve them

mod dependency and unloading is the first right step

[dapper helm]

tts to resolve issues caused by people not reading....

[lavish jackal]

realistically the best way to remove a barrier of entry into modding for players is to make SMODS a one stop shop for everything modded

basically, as soon as I get SMODS, I can install mods from the SMODS ModBrowser

[swift matrix]

The thing with stuff like this is no matter how nicely it's implemented I'll inevitably end up having to "sideload" mods regularly for some reason or another

[lavish jackal]

they update using the SMODS AutoUpdate feature

[gilded vortex]

I think the best way would be a built-in mod loader

[lavish jackal]

the SMODS DependencyDetector will tell me if I'm missing any mods

[lavish jackal]

yeah, like what tmodloader does

[gilded vortex]

Ah, I meant that more as in “in a perfect world…” but also because AFAIK thunk expressed modding support would be a feature they could add but probably not soon

[swift matrix]

And I know I'm "bit sometimes"ing in Technology Connections speech. These are good ideas, I'm just thinking outloud

[lavish jackal]

see I think at this point modding support would have to entail "Thunk officially endorses Steamodded" because I doubt people would jump ship to a new solution that easily

[gilded vortex]

Eh, I think thunk adding methods rather than hardcoding stuff would streamline modding a lot

[exotic shadow]

I mean if thunk made a decent solution and got steam workshop support, I'm sure quite a few people would move over

[lavish jackal]

steam workshop would be way more limiting

in not a fun way

[gilded vortex]

Maybe modding support could be a 2h video where thunk explains the code lol

[rigid jewel]

LMAO

[exotic shadow]

Sure but my guess is a built solution would probably be a bit more tied down. Just seems to be how official mod support generally is

[swift matrix]

Whatever we do we don't wanna fracture the community. The fact that veey nearly all mods are cross-compatiblle and loaded the same way should be very high priority to maintain

Basically if official mods happen and they suck we should ignore them

[lavish jackal]

thats not a good thing

SMODS is giving us a GameObject framework rn

[exotic shadow]

No but it is something I've noticed

I mean an official solution wouldn't mean the death of SMODS

[swift matrix]

Hopefully if it happened you'd be able to run both at once

[exotic shadow]

I mean there wouldn't be any reason why not

We have a lot of control over the game

[swift matrix]

True. Isn't the while game just interpreted Lua basucally?

I know it's "compiled" but that doesn't seem to mean much

[ruby bison]

I need to update my mods, but I don’t know which mods are causing my crashes.

[gilded vortex]

Does it have a crash message?

[ruby bison]

Yeah but it’s not very helpful, (it’s crashing on the transition to the next round, the crash message is just about that.)

[gilded vortex]

Do you have the Steamodded logger for full logs?

[ruby bison]

I don’t believe so, bc I’m unsure it’d work with balamod

[gilded vortex]

Ah it’s Balamod

Then I have no idea

I think the one modder I know using Balamod is on vacation so 😅

[ruby bison]

It’s also a game from pre-update so I don’t know if it’s the fault of an outdated mod or the fault of that.

(I don’t want to lose the current progress to test)

[earnest nova]

is there a mod that creates either a spectral card or a tarot card or smth that adds eternal to a joker of your choice?

[wary moth]

there are jokers that do that but idk if anyones made the spectral version of it yet

eternal cavendish,,

[exotic shadow]

I mean debug plus can toggle eternal, but it's not really good for if you want to use it in play

[earnest nova]

sure

[fossil vessel]

Does anyone know which mod allows planet cards to be foil?

[sullen vine]

which mod has the joker that crashes the game?

[tribal sail]

any mod if youre unlucky enough

[sullen vine]

damn

[white scarab]

MystJokers if you’re thinking of the one that loses the run after a timer

[sullen vine]

it pops up as a black card (joker) then my game just crashes with or without hovering over it

[white scarab]

Oh

That’s from JellyMod iirc

[sullen vine]

darn jelly

thank you

[white scarab]

yw

[twilit iris]

what does it mean by secret hand

does it just mean any hand that isnt directly listed?

e.g. flush house?

[rigid jewel]

The way it's programmed only includes the 3 base game secret hands

Since I'm not sure how to check if a hand is "secret" or not.

[white scarab]

There’s probably something when it’s initialized in game.lua

I do some tomfoolery like that in Ankh to check which items are locked on a new profile

[wary moth]

something like if hand != {high card, pair, two pair, three of a kind, ..., straight flush} then should be better

[white scarab]

Then any modded hand would trigger it though

[wary moth]

most ive seen are hidden

[red marten]

Could you please link the mod you got this from?

Looking to ref a card I’m making with this type of card

Or if it’s not a released mod could you point me in the direction of the Lua this came from

[wary moth]

ortalab demo

[red marten]

shooooooot is that out yet?

[wary moth]

iirc theres also a similar one in bunco

[wary moth]

the demo is

not the mod but the demo is

[red marten]

bunco too bet

thank thank thank

[cursive compass]

you could include the spectrum hands when bunco is the only suits mod installed
but also those are easier to access than the vanilla secret hands so idk

[rigid jewel]

hmm

[wary moth]

flush house is easier to reveal than bunco spectrum

[cursive compass]

i mean we're talking 1 wild card vs converting 3 very specific cards to another suit

[rigid jewel]

All I can really do is assume that any hand that starts with visible = false is a secret hand.

[cursive compass]

that sounds like a good method

[wary moth]

yes but it is much easier to get a conversion tarot that it is to get the wild tarot because 4>1

[cursive compass]

yeah but with the wild card it can be anything while with the conversion it has to be

• 2 of a rank that you only have 3 elegible of
• 1 of a different rank that you only have 3 eligible of

and you have to draw all those specific cards to play the flush house too

meanwhile for spectrum you only have to draw the wild card pretty much, the other 4 suits are trivial to get

when you consider how rng-based the hand you get for arcana packs is, i feel like spectrum is significantly easier

to be fair, death and other playing card copiers definitely make flush house slightly easier but i feel like spectrum is so free it doesnt even matter

[lunar fable]

i cant find steammoded. dose someone mind linking it?

[cursive compass]

you know its kinda funny how a modloader update broke more mods than a game update

im so used to it being the exact opposite with mods

[exotic shadow]

I mean it was mostly a balence update

[cursive compass]

yeah true

[exotic shadow]

Also we basically are just patching the source code which is pretty easy to do

[cursive compass]

i guess it'd probably be different if there were actual additions

[exotic shadow]

Also we had it in experimental to work out issues

Like lovely broke

[cursive compass]

its just funny cause like
in minecraft literally a single 0.00.X version can break everything

i was expecting it to be over when the game updated ngl

[sterile hornet]

ah the bad apple joker

[exotic shadow]

I mean fabric is usually up and running super fast

[cursive compass]

that's fair

[sterile hornet]

at least i can watch that one without my game crashing

[cursive compass]

speaking of bad apple joker i should check out how the smb1 one works

i feel like that could teach me a lot about how to mess with card drawing

and maybe save me from having to make a shader for extremely trivial shit like a color change

[sterile hornet]

the what
where can i find that one

[cursive compass]

super balatrio bros in #1209506514763522108

[red marten]

@gilded vortex I was looking over your lucky clubber code a lot for ref on how calculations work and the one thing that’s stumping me is I have no idea what determines what is the “self.ability.context” or self.ability.extra” ect, im getting how most everything is formatted I just don’t see where self and ability and the other parameters and variables come from or get calculated if you have any information @me back

[cursive compass]

it just straight up loads a smb1 rom and draws it to a joker

actually im not sure if it emulates it or if it's a port that requires a rom for legal reasons

[sterile hornet]

damn how tf did they even make this

[wary moth]

1. buy joker for $2
2. buy super mario bros for $25
3. pay $10 to fuse

[wild dawn]

hey uh

anyone know why the game keeps crashing when I open up the settings

[sleek granite]

do you have MoreSpeeds

[mild pine]

bruh how do you find the file that you put the mods in 😭

i closed it on accident and now i cant download more mods

[wary moth]

win+r

[mild pine]

huh

ah i got it

[untold salmon]

is there a way to mod the card files to put in custom PNGS, not adding new ones but editing existing ones

just specifically swapping out the card faces and card backs

[lavish jackal]

i'm trying to ask aure to add a texturepack support thing so that this is no longer an issue

[untold salmon]

Im looking to put in my own tarot deck over the current one

[lavish jackal]

right now there's a bit of stuff going into that

[untold salmon]

ah nice

[lavish jackal]

https://github.com/CarrotonMan/balatrodarkmode/tree/main/BalatroDarkMode try using this for now

as a reference point

ideally it should be as easy as just making a texture pack, putting it in a texture pack folder, loading it in

[untold salmon]

is aure a dev of the game or just a mod maker

[lavish jackal]

aure is the dev of steamodded

the modloader we're all using

not the original dev, but the active one

original dev of Steamodded is Steamo but I dont think people have heard from Steamo in a while

[untold salmon]

Wouldn't it technically be easier for the maker of the game to just make it so the cards read from a file full of named images?

[cinder sage]

atlases are a lot nicer to work with (imo)

[untold salmon]

well with that you have to make sure all your images are the same size,etc

[cinder sage]

?

[lavish jackal]

they're atlas-based yes

[cinder sage]

they should probably be the same size anyway

[lavish jackal]

i more-so meant allowing people to easily swap between texture packs

[untold salmon]

?

[cinder sage]

they don't have to be 71x95 btw

you can load the atlas with a custom width and height

[lavish jackal]

yeap

[untold salmon]

idk what the term atlas means in this sense

[lavish jackal]

it means a big grid of spirtes

*sprites

[cinder sage]

so all the tags are in one file

the tarots are also all in one file (along with the planets and spectrals)

[untold salmon]

i prefer it when its just separate images you can replace by renaming the file then swapping them out

[lavish jackal]

that's not how balatro works

[untold salmon]

Well yeah I figured that after you told me someone was working on making it easier to edit

if it was like that itd already be really easy to edit

[cinder sage]

individual files make these a lot harder to deal with

[dapper helm]

10 pixel perkeo

[cinder sage]

either way it shouldn't be that difficult to splice the images together

i can try and help if you want me to

[untold salmon]

id much rather individually rename cards than i would rather take the time to edit all those images in manually

[cinder sage]

(tomorrow)

[untold salmon]

personal preference for typing over editing ig

[untold salmon]

sure if you want too, i gotta dump the images off the PDF file though which is gonna take awhile

[lavish jackal]

that's not what i meant either

manually swapping out images is painful

[sleek granite]

if you take ownership of a card you can replace its sprite as if it were a modded card

[lavish jackal]

spritesheets are way more efficient

[untold salmon]

?

[cursive compass]

texture packs are not that hard

#1227842630637977600

this works on 0.9.8

just edit the images

[lavish jackal]

@cursive compass can i dm you about smods ui stuff

[cursive compass]

sure

[lavish jackal]

i wanna brainstorm some stuff

[cursive compass]

i might have to go soon to take an exam tho

[boreal ibex]

i am finally adventuring out from art
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1237232375004663828
releasing my own mod

[viscid spear]

ah yes

[inner jasper]

hmm

has anyone made/found a font for the "joker" text on the basic jokers

[exotic shadow]

Iirc it's custom made

It's not even the same on both sides of the card

[inner jasper]

hmm

this is gonna bother my ocd

[rare shell]

i mean

did you notice that the letters are different

[inner jasper]

most people just wing it then when editing, i assume

[rare shell]

its a single pixel that is gone to make room for the joker

its not that bad

as long as you use the same size for each letter you'll come up with something workable, there's only so many pixel arrangements in the size its in

[inner jasper]

mmm

also making t a binch to edit in nicely

[kindred swallow]

... I.. wow I never noticed that and the fact not every Joker has that bit cut off even bothers me more.

[viscid spear]

lyman did u hear the news™️

[rare shell]

what news

[lavish jackal]

yeah what news

[cunning silo]

niiiiice!!!!

[lavish jackal]

oh yeah i heard about that!

also feder

your thoughts? @cunning silo

[cunning silo]

i like that

[hardy brook]

Without the sketch underneath

How the actual sprite looks so far

[lavish jackal]

do you like how i snuck in versioning

[cunning silo]

don't think i didnt notice XD

[lavish jackal]

i made them inactive color so that they don't draw too much attention

but so that they have enough contrast to read

also About would stay mostly the same?

It'd show the "short" author text

Then you'd have the option to add a Credits page to the mod for larger projects

so for example Ortalab might change its authors to "The Ortalab Team" and then have all the contributors credited in the Credits page

[inner jasper]

oh thats a solid gokku

[brisk seal]

i think this is a good sprite style for consumables that activate boss blind effects.

[lavish jackal]

fix the jaggies please

[rigid jewel]

Use line tool

[brisk seal]

for? the inner club symbol thing is line tool

well piskel calls it stroke tool

[red marten]

does anyone know where i can find how to trigger effects and whatnot im trying to learn to mod i just have no idea what key words i in the code actually make effects happen and i cant find out ether

[strong swift]

i'd also add sdm_0's stuff for vanilla+

[grand geode]

house rules

[strong swift]

true

[gilded vortex]

Context comes when calculate_joker is called; I don’t think there is self.ability.context, as it’s the input of calculate_joker. Meanwhile, the extra array can exist for any Joker, and it’s used to store variables pertaining to that particular Joker. Most of the time, you want to define whatever extra.variables you need for your particular Joker to work

(Also where and how are people finding Lucky Clubber 🤔)

[red marten]

ok so

ive found something that i can ref

but i need to make a clean code sheet that i can run these commands on but idk where to get that and what other files and whatnot i would need to put it in the game to test do you know where or how i can do that?

[red marten]

you sent the code

[gilded vortex]

Yeah but I never released it as a mod anywhere lol

[gilded vortex]

For Steamodded 0.9.8 you only need a file with the correct header and an initialization function containing the Joker definitions, and an asset folder for art

Although I do recommend having individual files for Jokers, that can come later after you get a single Joker working

[red marten]

what do you mean correct header?

like just your mods name?

[gilded vortex]

Steamodded reads the top of the file for comments and if it’s in a specific format it loads the file as a mod

I probably left it out when I pasted the file here

[red marten]

uhhhhhhh could you send an example?

[gilded vortex]

I think this one should help https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506514763522108

But any Steamodded mod has them so you can checkout any of them

Also just Steamodded README or Wiki should have it

[red marten]

i think this just linked to the threads where you trying to send a specific one?

[gilded vortex]

hmm I did

[gilded vortex]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228599493914656788

[red marten]

another thing

so

theres a bunch of key words im seeing but i have no idea where people are finding them to make jokers do diffrent things do you have any idea where to find those?

[swift matrix]

Another perfectly normal game of Balatro

[gilded vortex]

What key words

[red marten]

i mean like

idek how to describe it

[swift matrix]

Also, sorry for intterupting, I was scrolled up

[red marten]

just like to make jokers preform actions like checking if you are playing a specific hand or how to add money

its hard to desribe

[gilded vortex]

See #💻・modding-dev

[lusty lily]

Looks normal to me

[swift matrix]

Update, done for tonight

I realized that Logistics also triggers money if it;s given at the end of the hand and not the payout screen (which makes sense tbh and should be kept)

[rigid jewel]

I see so many virtue jokers but can’t figure out which one through all the cards stacking on top of another xdd

[swift matrix]

I think it's mostly my ike 5 copies of dawn

lol

[dapper helm]

danggg

[rigid jewel]

FIVE????

[dapper helm]

i was genuinely about to guess that

4 copies of dawn + shrine

[swift matrix]

Reverie be like

[dapper helm]

is that shrine or evil eye?

[swift matrix]

and I'm on gacha deck

so getting boosters full of owned jokers...

[rigid jewel]

I think there’s one Afterburner/Shrine squished in.

[swift matrix]

and having a joker that lets me take 2 from each (I have a voucher that does the same but i didn't have it yet)

[swift matrix]

what do those ones do?

[dapper helm]

also quick question anyone else consistently getting the codex spectral?

[swift matrix]

I don't remember a lot of the names

[dapper helm]

afterburner = reverse rocket

shrine = constellation for spectrals

[rigid jewel]

Actually wait it is Shrine

No money gained

Bruh

We out here love modded messes

[swift matrix]

oh yeah it totally is shrine

[dapper helm]

the codex spectral keeps appearing so much i am like nearly convinced it cannot be the same rarity as the soul and black hole

[lavish jackal]

coro look at this

[swift matrix]

it's up to over x8 (probably a lot over by now) because I keep on getting black holes from bettma's vouchers

[swift matrix]

and I have dice

[lavish jackal]

i love the hope one like that

[swift matrix]

It's really cool but homestuck is a brick wall to me

[dapper helm]

that one looks best popping out of the card, like they all look great but that one looks like it was made for that

[swift matrix]

also that gets applied for every carfd too. Due to Snoresville's "Logistics"

I also have lucky cat, and with all my retriggers I think I got him up to x7 in one hand

[humble umbra]

Guys, is there any mod that make challenge deck setseed?

[grand geode]

try searching for it before asking

#1228158101304119296

[humble umbra]

I already search it. When I see that I think that thread is for challenge that use seed or something not the one I mentioned. Sorry

[grand geode]

its ok

[worn pumice]

which mod added planet editions that affects the hand it upgrades?

[tacit crest]

DX Tarots

[worn pumice]

1 foil black hole later:

[wanton rapids]

i fixed that btw, it should be ready for whenever you want to play it

[fallow bramble]

Which mod did Murphy play btw? When I watched his stream he kept playing guessing games 😅

[wanton rapids]

he started playing bunco in the second half iirc

or whichever one has the loop hero joker

[fallow bramble]

Oh neat

[neon bloom]

anyone figured out custom game speed yet?

[fallow bramble]

#1210304870457020487 message

[fallow arrow]

theres one for 16x speed that I use

[neon bloom]

thank u, i'll check that soon

[sleek granite]

morespeed is broken i thought

on latest patch

[fallow arrow]

Ive been using it with no issue

[lean dune]

same and I can't figure out why people are having issues with it

[sleek granite]

i think if you already had it set up its fine but somehow it breaks if added after the patch

idk i dont use it myself lul

[muted seal]

do you guys think these should be buffed?

[sleek granite]

light/dark voucher what--

[dapper helm]

t1 t2?

[muted seal]

yeah

[sleek granite]

i assume so

i have never heard that terminology before lul

[muted seal]

i mean

[sleek granite]

i think it might be fine if you just let it full refill the booster slots

but still per-shop limit

(also voucher descriptions dont tend to reference the previous voucher by name; if it supplies a more powerful version of the same effect, the new effect is just written out instead)

[muted seal]

true

idk how i would word it tho

[sleek granite]

Thrice each shop,

or Up to thrice each shop,

(thrice gang)

[dapper helm]

thrice & dice

[sleek granite]

(nitpicky grammar moment) the word "random" can be omitted (see riffraff)

[muted seal]

'Two random boosters' > 'Two Booster Packs' ?

[sleek granite]

yeah, Booster Packs to be formal (see red card)

(or hallucination)

[muted seal]

there we go!

[sleek granite]

2 not Two

[muted seal]

oh hkwgfkgwfkl

my bad

fixed

[sleek granite]

😂

[muted seal]

what abt the balancing and syntax on these?

[sleek granite]

i like Mildew's concept but the formatting seems too... stuffy. there's not really a similar basegame effect to go off of tho

you do custom mtg stuff dont you

[muted seal]

the square bracket effects are going to be in the seperate lil box next to the effect

[muted seal]

no actually! ive never played mtg lol

[sleek granite]

oh really

the syntax reads vaguely like it

[sleek granite]

you could have the tooltip even be conditional on Lucky Cat's existence

[muted seal]

ooh true!

[gilded vortex]

For the most part I disagree 🤔

[cinder sage]

mtg syntax would be like
Lucky cards you play have '+5 Mult, +$3 and lose other abilities'

[sleek granite]

yeah not for the lucky card one

its not exactly mtg syntax but it reads like someone who is familiar with mtg syntax wrote it

[wanton rapids]

"lucky cards instead give +5 mult and give +$3"(?)

[sleek granite]

i also have no idea how you'd implement that it sounds scary lol

[rare shell]

Claim ownership of the enhancement

[sleek granite]

enhancements arent supported you blorb

[rare shell]

Smh

[sleek granite]

also enhancement code isnt in a convenient single location

[cunning silo]

Enhancement code suuuuucks

It’s not that the code is bad

[sleek granite]

it needs to be enhanced

[cunning silo]

Adding new enhancements is really horrible

[rare shell]

Smods 2.0 enhanceapi when

[sleek granite]

slobs enhanceapi when

[cunning silo]

Want me to try and do that,

v#?

What is my phone keyboard even typing XD?

[sleek granite]

numbuh made/is making/has made enhanceapi already

but it's uh

well idk i couldnt get it to work

but then again i am stupid

[cunning silo]

Hey Lyman

Wanna make an enhancement mod?

[lean dune]

i mean I'll probably clean it up in some way

it's a lot more fun without boilerplate

[cunning silo]

True

[rare shell]

Hi

I'm about to finish my break

[lean dune]

btw i ported the poker hand api

[cunning silo]

Really?????

Oh that’s really fun

[rare shell]

I wouldn't mind doing that

[cunning silo]

I love how the poker hand api turned out

Nah we have too many projects XD

[rare shell]

Lmao

[sleek granite]

official smods enhancement api....
i'll be able to use the sprites ive been sitting on from lyman for forever lmao

[rare shell]

Maybe after fables is done

And we sort out 1.0

[cunning silo]

Yeah

[lean dune]

(i didn't bother lovely-ifying it for the UI stuff because that's not so fun)

[rare shell]

Nodes?

[sleek granite]

did you get your nodes printed?

[rare shell]

Bogos binted?

[lean dune]

patching a function that's like 70% different from what it was originally isn't super great

even though I did do that for view deck and it saves like 20 lines 💀

[sleek granite]

truly this is the ship of theseus of balatro

[supple cypress]

👽

[rare shell]

Thats just average coding experience

Anyway chat my break is over, praying I don't drop a bundle of glass on myself and die

[lean dune]

see ya lyman

[rare shell]

Cheers

I'll be back for lunch

[sleek granite]

the modding community would be devastated

feder and i would both be artless

[cunning silo]

Btw could you add support for custom consumable type badges?

Like, for the localization at least

[lean dune]

don't I do that already?

[cunning silo]

You do?

Oh XD

If so, forget this

[cunning silo]

Thank you

[lean dune]

also there's a set_card_type_badge API hook to override the card type badge in case you need it to be different for specific cards

(alongside the set_badges that's been here that happens after the regular badges but before mod badges)

speaking of mod badges, why not have multiple

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1233186615086813277/1236657622544027710/image.png?ex=663b71a9&is=663a2029&hm=f674976fee02b876f47fe83dc7a32370564f97e68761e6aa67bcb36bceb8e0a3&

[sleek granite]

multiple take_ownership's?

[lean dune]

no, dependencies

[sleek granite]

oh :(

[cunning silo]

Could you send me the code for this test? I wanna try it out for Codex

[sleek granite]

(i ask because emojiokers taking ownership of like 30 jokers is bound to cause problems)

[lean dune]

hm i can try to look into making that less conflictable

like when something is being taken ownership of a second time, it would add that mod's ID to depencendies to display both badges and just apply the table to the object that's already there

[sleek granite]

like it makes sense if they're changing the same thing about the gameobject that's being taken ownership of, but if someone wants to change Baron's logic and that fails because i'm just adding a silly yes_pool_flag...

[lean dune]

actually i wouldn't even have to change the register logic, since it does nothing when already registered anyway

[lean dune]

guess what

[sleek granite]

pog

[lean dune]

(this is actually taken ownership of thrice, since the loader also changes its use effect)

[sleek granite]

thats another reason yeah, without multiple ownerships being allowed, ppl wouldnt be able to change strength, sigil, or ouija

[lean dune]

that would have been fine before, since taking ownership at the time the loader does, there isn't any mod being set

[sleek granite]

oh i see

... not that it matters now, but could one have just wiped the mod field to solve it too lol

[lean dune]

uh

if you know the object already exists, why not just change it

the whole point of the setup is that it works regardless of whether it's already been taken ownership of without a bunch of checks

[sleek granite]

ye

i am not smart you see

[lean dune]

fun fact, i forgot to call register on both my take_ownership calls and it still worked because it does nothing after the first time

[sleek granite]

i still dont know what register does

idk trying to follow the new api code makes brain hurty

[lean dune]

it does the same thing it's always been doing

it just stages the object to be injected when it's time to do so

except it only does that when dependencies are fulfilled and no object with that key already exists
