[fast stone]

it was a typo

[crude hazel]

???

oh

mbmb

im stubid dont mid me

[crude hazel]

i did

b4 u told me

[fast stone]

version.dll is lovely
steamodded is a different thing
and you have to install it seperately

[crude hazel]

ik

oh wait

what

what is steammodded

[gilded vortex]

Steamodded is like a mod that other mods use to work

[crude hazel]

then

what to download

[gilded vortex]

Lovely is a tool that Steamodded and other mods use to work

[fast stone]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded the steamodded

however, you should know that brainstorm doesn't use steamodded
it just uses lovely

[crude hazel]

i cant edit mod tho

i need steammodded for that dont i?

[gilded vortex]

What do you mean

[crude hazel]

like i want to roll for a soul every time

[fast stone]

ah that option is in settings

[crude hazel]

ingame settings

so do i put folder in balatro folder?

[fast stone]

yeah
just open up settings in game and a brainstorm option should be there

dont do anything with ur folders, i think you got it right

try opening up balatro and go to settings

[crude hazel]

dont i need to put it somewhere? it cant sit in my downloads and work

ye it dont work even when i put it in

[fast stone]

are you asking about steamodded here?

[crude hazel]

yes

[fast stone]

put it in the mods folder

[crude hazel]

kk

[fast stone]

then try launching up balatro

[crude hazel]

IT WORKS!

thx everyone who helped me :D

[fast stone]

yeayyy

[crude hazel]

But “no mods had been detected”

[fast stone]

thats because brainstorm isn't a steamodded mod

but it is active

[crude hazel]

How can I change settings

Then

[fast stone]

just go to settings

options > settings

[crude hazel]

Ohhhh

U pro

workks

[fast stone]

nice

[crude hazel]

does it counts as stats or its same as seeded run

[fast stone]

im not sure actually

it should count as an unseeded run i think

[crude hazel]

hm

[fast stone]

ah btw, steamodded disables achievements by default

[crude hazel]

ok

[crude hazel]

for steam or for?

[fast stone]

for steam

[crude hazel]

oh its fine

idc about steam

[lean dune]

bug alert

[crude hazel]

i love trans egg

[fast stone]

hehe

[lean dune]

i actually already have a fix, but I pushed it to a different branch which is currently broken

[white scarab]

who broke stake API

[lean dune]

check the 0707-regression branch if you want to see it even more broken

as for the main branch, I think only stake colors are broken

I changed color to colour for consistency but part of it got lost in the merge process

[lunar fable]

is there a good debug mod? the one mathisfun_ made crashes my game. i want to do some build testing

[fallow bramble]

https://github.com/WilsontheWolf/DebugPlus

[lunar fable]

every time i try extractin the zip to the mods folder it dosent work but has the thing at the botom saying console stuff, but that also dose nothing

[white scarab]

Hold tab

[lunar fable]

i am.

[white scarab]

Check its not a nested install

Mods/DebugPlus/lovely.toml is what you want

[lunar fable]

(had to cut my name)

[lean dune]

DebugPlus is a lovely mod without steamodded integration, it won't show up in the mods list

[lunar fable]

still dosent work

[lean dune]

just check if holding (not pressing) tab does anything

[lunar fable]

thats what i do.

ive used it before but uninstaled it becuse i was chalange grinding and didnt want to cheat

[fallow bramble]

Brainstorm isn't compatible with DebugPlus

[lunar fable]

ah

thanks

[lean dune]

oh I didn't spot that

[lunar fable]

also is there a working acivement enabler? i want to play with more speed and talisman but cant get acivements.

[lean dune]

yeah, there's one in the steamodded example mods

[lunar fable]

dose it work? last i checked it crashed me

[lean dune]

it should work, just make sure you're using the correct one for your steamodded version

[lunar fable]

thanks

ill get it after this GODLIKE run i have. have yet to go do build testing, though i dont need to plan what to do with this becuse im about to win my last chalange!

4 hours of grinding

[fervent owl]

brainstorm breaks all modded keystrokeshotkeys

ah someone already said it

[lunar fable]

ah.

[lunar fable]

whats a keystroke?

[fervent owl]

ehh I meant hotkeys

https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm/blob/master/Brainstorm_keyhandler.lua

it just overrides key_press_update

[lunar fable]

ah

acivement enabler dosent work? i got the newest version

[lean dune]

what's your steamodded version?

[lean dune]

I'm not sure anything was changed on the matter since then, but that version is a bit outdated either way

[lunar fable]

to lazy to update. all the other mods work fine

[lean dune]

if you installed using git, updating would consist of just running git pull...

[lunar fable]

no clue what or where that is

[lean dune]

whatever

can you send the achievements enabler file you have?

[lunar fable]

sent

[spiral dune]

@restive willow #🕹・game-discussion message
Sorry. I haven't played since 1.0.1 came out so I haven't updated things. There was a PR on GitHub that I think updated most things, but I haven't checked everything myself.
I fixed the lucky cards. Feel free to message me if you find any other mistakes with the calculator.

[surreal shadow]

Hi!

Any new interesting 1.0.0 mods?

[brisk seal]

Bonus Blinds are pretty new

(Def not biased)

[restive willow]

Thank you very much for your work, great calculator, you help me a lot during naninf runs ❤️

[surreal shadow]

I hope bunco, cheesy and mika mods become 1.0.0 fast. 🙂

[random silo]

Cryptid

Ro-Balatro

[rare shell]

Bunco is kinda (WIP) on 1.0.0 and being actively worked on. You can download it already by downloading the source code, I can say that it is a lot more stable than 0.9.8 Bunco, yet still has some new features that may not work properly or are unfinished

[surreal shadow]

Oh, ok. Thanks.

[woeful prism]

Any idea why it doesn't transfer to the Tarot cards?

[lean dune]

that should be an issue on the collection page specifically

something's special about it, i don't fully recall what causes it

[random silo]

I cant stop getting terrible ideas

Balatro but its egyptian ratscrew, while your hand is being played you can press a button that lets you slap, which when done at the right time can trigger joker effects

That would have pretty bad problems though, most noticably the fact that all calculation is done before animations play

[gilded vortex]

Keep Jimbo's name etc.

[random silo]

???????

[gilded vortex]

It's a reference

[odd gorge]

if its not too much of an inconvience, where are the balatro mods uploaded?

i use r2 modman but

[tiny violet]

Most of them are right here, in the #1209506514763522108 fourm posts

[gilded vortex]

#1209506514763522108

[tiny violet]

A good place to start would probably be #1255696773599592458 - it's a big pack of a bunch of 1.0.0 mods, so it's a great place to see what there is

[odd gorge]

okay thanks!

[polar pecan]

Anywhere specific I can suggest a joker concept? Or should I just drop it in here

[karmic geyser]

I saw a post on reddit's r/sbcgaming subreddit, which is about single board gaming (i.e., steam deck, handhelds, etc.) where someone ported (into Portmaster) Balatro to work on Anbernic devices. Which kind of sucks because I was looking at getting a Miyoo Mini + or depending how it releases, their Flip version but it has a different CFW that doesn't support Portmaster.
This is all a longwinded way of saying, It would be nice.... lol

[junior rock]

I asked a while ago but didn't get an answer, is there a dedicated mod for challenge creation, and if not does anyone have a method for making a challenge quite easily

[junior rock]

don't they use android? I'm not sure how it works but it wouldnt seem too bit a stretch for it to be supported for those once the mobile port releases

[karmic geyser]

Yeah, I'm not buying a handheld for another couple of months so there's plenty of time to see what shakes out.

[grand geode]

Not really, but you can use Deck Creator and House Rules to modify your deck with basic numbers or preset rules

[manic badge]

hey! i just tried updating my Steamodded but it's giving me an 'assertion failed' crash when I launch the game, is this a known issue or do i just need to git gud?

nvm it was an issue with a mod i installed

[granite aspen]

i tried installing the alpha for steamodder 1.0 and it just doesnt work 😭

whats the problem, did i to it wrong somehow?

[brisk seal]

not sure how useful this is but it's fun probably

[granite aspen]

wuh oh! game crashed

help lol

[stone brook]

send the rest of the crash log

[granite aspen]

all i did was put all the mods in the example mods folder in the mods folder

like the example mods folder that comes with steamodded

lol

[stone brook]

im not 100% sure, but i think a couple of the example mods are outdated

[granite aspen]

ah

i see

alright

[stone brook]

mostly because 1.0.0 is still technically a pre-release

[granite aspen]

yeah ok i tried it with some other mods

and it now works

thanks again!

[odd gorge]

I wonder if there's a mod to turn Balatro into Texas holdem, or 5 card draw

[granite aspen]

that would be very interesting

[brisk seal]

why not just... play texas hold em'

[white scarab]

At that point just make your own card game with Balatro’s engine and call it a Balatro mod

[odd gorge]

Because I'm lonely and don't like spending money

Coding too hard :(

[granite aspen]

😭 swing and a miss

tried installing bunco and it crashed on launch

is bunco not updated for 1.0?

[sturdy salmon]

iirc you need to download the source code for the 1.0.0 version of bunco

[granite aspen]

oh

do you know where i can find it?

[sturdy salmon]

It's the green code button on the github, download it from there

[tranquil vessel]

It's because of this #⚙・modding-general message. I believe these are your 3 options to fix it:

1. You can directly edit steamodded's source code files, but that obviously won't work for other people using your mod.

2. You can wait for steamodded to update, but I have no idea how long it'll take for them to fix this (hopefully soon).

3. You can try hooking into steamodded's code. Obviously has a high chance to break whenever steamodded updates. You should be able to replace the previous suit changing code with this:

--- steamodded headers etc

steamodded_update_atlas = G.FUNCS.update_atlas

new_update_atlas = function(_type)
    -- We're directly modifying steamodded's source code here. Very fragile!
    output = steamodded_update_atlas(_type)
    G.C.SUITS = {Hearts = HEX('ed2324'), Diamonds = HEX('3bb3f8'), Spades = HEX("000000"), Clubs = HEX("ffffff")}
    return output
end

G.FUNCS.update_atlas = new_update_atlas

[stone brook]

you can also send a pr for smods if you code a solution directly in smods source code

[tranquil vessel]

I asked eremel to #⚙・modding-general message

and I don't feel like I have enough experience with steamodded to open a pull request to fix this temporarily 😅

[urban grail]

can't you just do a lovely.toml and hardcode the new colors inside the game code?

[tranquil vessel]

Not a bad idea, I hadn't even thought of that (I haven't really worked with lovely yet). Problem is that the colours are pretty dynamic and get reassigned in multiple spots, so it might not be the easiest to do. If you have a working solution I'd be interested in seeing it though

[urban grail]

im not near my pc so I can't code, I'll try tomorrow if this is still a problem

[granite aspen]

:]

and i was having such a good run 😭

[candid sable]

What did you do!

[granite aspen]

its a problem with the inscrybed jokers mod

im guessing

cus the same thing happened with the other jokes from the mod i got

ah

[candid sable]

Modify that and I think the run can continue

[lunar fable]

whats that?

[urban grail]

a Legendary Incantation

[lunar fable]

but why dose it say incantation? its perkeo

[grand geode]

if a mod takes control of a base game card, the mod badge gets added

[candid sable]

Huh

[thorn ledge]

incantation is a mod

[white scarab]

infoqueue hell

[stone brook]

34 remaining ?!

[sturdy canyon]

brainwashing

turning them jokers jolly

[carmine mortar]

Jolly is mult when pair?

Since sly is also there

[urban grail]

Testers for my mod needed
I made this mod which makes creating Jokers way easier.
Intead of remembering what to put in the calculate's return{}, you just do this

if context.joker_main then
  xMult(3,card,context)
end

And now you got a X3 Mult Joker.
It doesn't end here because the current version (Snapshot 24w28a) adds aChips, xChips, aMult, xMult and addMoney, with more to come with future updates

There's plenty of supported contexts for each function, so feel free to try them out

[woeful prism]

1. that's to deep for me
2. If Steamodded gets updated, what happens then? Will that fix the suit colors game wide?
3. I tried your code. It changes the suit color on the Tarot cards, but only to 1 color.

[tranquil vessel]

1. Understandable, I don't think it's a great option either way tbh.
2. Steamodded should implement a new feature, AltTextures, at some point in the future. You should then be able to use that for your color changes.
3. Only 1 colour? That's weird, for me it changes all 4 colors to the ones that are specified in my code (blue, white, red, black). I have a later version of steamodded though, maybe try updating it?

[west hill]

Yeah, when AltTextures are merged I’d recommend migrating to that for anything that changes textures in game

[round oar]

hey does anyone know if you can dynamically add suits during runtime in steamodded?

[gilded vortex]

Depending on what you want to do, Bunco does it

[woeful prism]

updated to 1.0.0-ALPHA-0708a. Same result. All suit colors are that greyish black. https://pastebin.com/6t1yk7HH

[round oar]

what does it do in particular?

there's a lot of code to look through

[gilded vortex]

It creates suits but don’t add cards with those suits to the deck

You need to obtain them during the game

[round oar]

that could possibly work

do you know if any mod actually initialises the suits during runtime?

[gilded vortex]

Not that I know of

Someone was recently creating Jokers during runtime

[west hill]

Why do you need them to be initialised then?

[round oar]

it's complicated

ideally there wouldn't be a cap to how many suits you could have

[west hill]

How will you handle the visual aspect?

[tranquil vessel]

You didn't capitalize the suit colors. Double check with my original message.
It's very confusing when it does/doesn't need to be capitalized to be honest. You can also remove the previous color-changing code for the suits I provided.
Here's what you should have: https://pastebin.com/EXhmHHkX

[round oar]

render all the suits with the same blank sprite, then inject extra code into the card draw method to add the little suit images on

[west hill]

But won’t you then need an uncapped number of images?

[round oar]

i'm pretty sure love2d has a way to create sprites on the fly

anyways that's what i need to look into next

[woeful prism]

That works! Thanks again. I did decapitalise the suit color variables because that was the problem with the previous ones.

[tranquil vessel]

Yeah the other code needed them to be lower case, for this one they need to be title case. Very confusing and I don't know why lol
No problem 🙃 You should have a better time once steamodded properly implements this.

[azure sierra]

Are there any mods that add more music, sfx, and/or more background effects?

[latent nimbus]

i guess cryptid? it has sfx for xchips and ^mult

[tiny violet]

I know the Lobotomy Corp that features custom effects for some of its Abnormalities

But for generic "new music" or "new background" mods, I don't know if there's any of those yet.

[sturdy salmon]

Ro Balatro also has some sfx for its consumables iirc, but yeah outside of those examples dunno about any others

[lean dune]

cryptid also has jimball music iirc

[white scarab]

Trance adds recoloring which might be similar

I know Djynasty made a mod that replaces the music with Don Palombi’s cover

[brisk seal]

woo hoo!

double legendary

[sturdy canyon]

oops

[random silo]

How?????

[sturdy canyon]

oops

i just copied it from my other stuff

without realizing its G.jokers

[random silo]

Imagine if consumables in joker slots had effects lol

[sturdy canyon]

the options are limitless

[azure sierra]

Is there a steamodded 1.0 mod that lets you choose your first joker?

[gilded vortex]

What does your Echo card do?

[sturdy canyon]

its from cryptid

i just accidentally spawned some in the joker slot

[random silo]

Echo cards have a 1 in 2 chance to retrigger twice

[timid nexus]

whoa

an enhacement thats equalish to a red seal seems strong

[agile lily]

does anyone know how i can add custom challenges like drspectred does?

[tranquil vessel]

I presume that https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1221603094169784340 isn't 1.0.0 compatible?
You could try debug mode (https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209857245316255744 or https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664), but I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for.

[azure sierra]

I'm not sure which other mods honestly, just whatever works on 1.0 and ideally something that lets you choose a joker at the start

[tender hornet]

lol

[thick hollow]

ive gotten far enough that the mods button appears in game but after attempting to add codex arcanum my game now crashes on startup with a giant error message i cannot comprehend

[gilded vortex]

Share the error especially the first part

[thick hollow]

do i just copypaste the whole thing here

[tranquil vessel]

I believe one of steamodded's latest versions broke codex arcanum?

[thick hollow]

ohh

thats unfortunate

was the mod i was most wanting to try

ill try a different mod rqw

[tranquil vessel]

not really sure about that, just saw some people talk about it

maybe someone else can confirm

[robust carbon]

I can confirm it

(As working on a 1.0 modpack we recently had to remove it because Steamodded alpha versions broke 0.9.8 compat with Codex essentially)

[thick hollow]

will it ever be updated?

[gilded vortex]

You could ask in the thread

[robust carbon]

There is a 1.0 version but feder is waiting for a full release iirc

[thick hollow]

so if i downgrade will it work?

[robust carbon]

To 0.9.8? Yeah

[thick hollow]

oh boy

[robust carbon]

But you lose out on a lot of newer mods

[thick hollow]

i dont really have any other mods im particularly interested of as of now so

i think i can take that

lol

is there an easy way to downgrade

or do i need to do everything over

i got it

yipee breaking bozo

[terse sage]

I had the modloader downloaded while playing unmodded when I beat the last challenge, and now because of that it didn't proc the steam achievement, because apparently the old mod loader automatically disabled achievements. Is there a way to give myself the achievement, or do I need to start a new save file and beat everything again?

[urban grail]

there is a mod called achievement enabler

in steamodded github's example mods

[tranquil vessel]

that means he'd need to beat the challenge again nevermind I'm stupid. Maybe that works?

You can also try to either

1. use Steam Achievement Manager link
2. With debug mode + achievement re-enabler mods, give yourself the win by spawning in good stuff (you might also need to modify your savefiles to remove the win first?)

[terse sage]

I might just try removing the win on an easier challenge then beating it again

Never mind, I'm not going to be able to figure that out, all the data seems to be scrambled and/or translated into another language

[tall oriole]

hey, random question, how do i change the card images, similar to balatro: reshuffled?

okay updated question: is it possible to ONLY change wee joker's art, and not the normal joker's?

[tranquil vessel]

you can use https://balatro.shorty.systems/ to read and modify your savefile

[terse sage]

Okay, thank you!

[tranquil vessel]

I'm not sure how taking ownership of jokers works, but if you're not able to modify wee joker I think it's pretty likely you're doing something wrong

[tall oriole]

okay cool well

worth asking i suppose

[tranquil vessel]

Haha, sorry I'm not much help, I'm not very familiar with it. Have you tried looking at balatro: reshuffled's source code? That might help

[tall oriole]

no i figured it out dont worry

thank you for your input though

sadly wee joker is a direct copy of the default joker's texture, so no luck there, but i did it anyway it worked fine

[urban grail]

@lean dune is this the portion that runs the jokers calculate function?

[maiden marlin]

why are you asking? this calls calculate() on each sticker

[urban grail]

I was having trouble with this #💻・modding-dev message

[maiden marlin]

could you describe the problem you're having in more detail? how is the card.EzSc field set and used?

ok I think I know what you are asking

[maiden marlin]

that portion is not it, it's actually right below your code:

if obj.calculate and type(obj.calculate) == 'function'

so, yes, you need to put your code after that block

[urban grail]

thanks

ok now i get it

[rugged dune]

hi

im trying to use the lobotomy corp mod

but i get an error that i cannot understand at all

would appreciate any help

[lean dune]

Update steamodded

[rugged dune]

ah

thanks

i was having issues with aa couple other mods like bonus blinds so thats probably why

[lean dune]

blud pings me at 4am when just asking in chat would have been fine 💀

[urban grail]

I pinged you?? sorry didn't mean

[rugged dune]

im still getting the same error

its this download link right

[lean dune]

yep

it's easier to update if you install using git, but that's beside the point

[rugged dune]

this is correct i swear

[lean dune]

alright then send the new crash please

[lean dune]

sorry I just woke up, I can't read properly, it appears

[rugged dune]

thats alright

i cant read it at all

[lean dune]

one of your mods defines its own booster API which conflicts with the one in steamodded

[rugged dune]

right

that would probably be codex arcanum right

[lean dune]

that mod would happen to be codex, yeah

[tranquil vessel]

codex also doesn't work on steamodded 1.0.0 I believe

[rugged dune]

oh

thats a shame

[polar schooner]

It does for me

the 0.9.8 backwards compat does wonders

[lean dune]

it should run through the compat layer, but it's fundamentally incompatible with boosters on 1.0 unless you rename its booster class

[rugged dune]

so i just gotta do that and i should be able to use them together then?

[tranquil vessel]

the compat layer broke in a recent version of steamodded, according to this #⚙・modding-general message

I don't know if that's true or not, I'm just repeating what I've seen before in chat 😅

[lean dune]

that might refer to the boosters thing? not sure tbh

I don't think we broke anything else

[rugged dune]

if i load it after lobotomy corp will it work lol

[lean dune]

I wouldn't rule it out, but you may run into weird issues

[rugged dune]

ill just not use it for now then

thank you for the help

[white scarab]

hmmm I wonder if I can win

I think I won

[stone brook]

weakest cryptid joker

[white scarab]

just gonna afk here for a bit

no I tried to hit 6.9

[exotic shadow]

question does DebugPlus's win blind button work with this boss?

[white scarab]

let's try it

it does

ok let's see if obsidian orb freaks out now

it worked fine I think

[haughty turret]

real good run tonight

[cedar imp]

hellp

i wanted to ask

abot how to mod for begginer

Ive finished most of the gold stakes in vanilla so i wanted to move to modded

bt idk where to start

[terse sage]

I would look for some simpler joker mods to start with, if you're wanting to ease into it. I haven't looked too much into playing, since I've mostly been focused on learning to make my own mods, but off the top of my head I know the Bunco mod just adds ~30 jokers, so that and other mods like it could be a good place to start

[cedar imp]

could i have some links?

or atleast some knolege in how to instal mods

i dont want to end p having an unplayable game

[tranquil vessel]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki is a big one

[cedar imp]

ok finsihed with the modloader + lovely

i have 0.9.8?

[tranquil vessel]

You can use steamodded 0.9.8, or 1.0.0. They don't have perfect compatibility.
1.0.0 is still in alpha/pre-release, and could significantly change.
I'd suggest using 1.0.0, but it's up to you.

[tired jolt]

i'm trying to install the morefluff mod, but steammodded doesn't seem to detect it

however, i DID install steammodded and lovely through r2modman

and the morefluff mod wasn't on there, so i just got it from github

i THINK i did everything right but it just didnt work

[candid sable]

Huh

That is out of my experience scope then

[tired jolt]

i put the .lua file in the appdata > roaming > balatro > mods folder and it did nothing

i'm not entirely sure what to do with the assests folder

[candid sable]

Only .lua file??

[tired jolt]

clearly i've done soemthing wrong though

i tried both but still

i can try again if need be

[candid sable]

It should be a folder of Morefluff

That contains lua files and asset folder

[tired jolt]

AH

ok i see it's just missing the main folder

i'll just manually make that

tyty

i figured that might be it but a video i watched just put a .lua file in there and it worked but i guess it's different here

i will now try this

[candid sable]

I'll recommend you decompress the zip you download somewhere else

And copy the folder that contains everything essential to Mods folder

[tired jolt]

will that potentially help?

[candid sable]

So it should look like Mods/<mod name>/<mod name>.lua
And Mods/<mod name>/assets/

[tired jolt]

i did do that

just now

and it still didn't work

i think this mod was updated like 2 months ago, is it outdated?

[tranquil vessel]

describe "it still didn't work"

[tired jolt]

nothing showed up in the menu ingame

[tranquil vessel]

you don't see the mods button?

[tired jolt]

i do

i do see it

i did not see the mod

[tranquil vessel]

but there's nothing in the mods menu

[tired jolt]

just text saying there's no mods installed and a button to open the directory

[candid sable]

Can you send the Mods folder's content

Maybe it'll help

[tranquil vessel]

^ specifically, the mods folder you see when you click the button in the game to open the mods directory

[candid sable]

A screenshot will suffice

[tired jolt]

gimme just 1 sec

[candid sable]

That looks correct

[tired jolt]

let me try again i guess

in case the gnomes in my computer changed something

nope

[candid sable]

Also I am not familiar with r2modman thing, but since it installed smods correctly I suppose it is maybe not the problem

Can you describe the installation process just in case

I mean r2 thingy

[tired jolt]

with r2modman you kinda just click things you want like a grocery list lol

you download the app, select the game you want and make a profile

then you can enable/disable mods in on tab and download mods from thunderstore on another

it has its own mod folder, which is where everything from there goes

this is the menu for it

these are the mods i actively have installed

i had to get morefluff from github bc it's not on here yet

assuming it will be i added, i guess

[candid sable]

Then I am guessing it might somehow mess with the mods ?

[tired jolt]

maybe

not entirely sure how it would but i guess 2 seperate mod folder will do weird shit

[candid sable]

Can you install another mod and see if it go into Mods folder

[tired jolt]

i was about to say im gonna do that lol

same hat

odd

it installed a second steamodded file that's deprecated

[candid sable]

Yeah also I don't think thunder has lots of mods you may desire

What does that mean

[tired jolt]

there are now 2 seperate versions of steamodded "running"

i put it in quotation marks bc the game instantly crashed to no ones surprise

[candid sable]

That certainly will happen

[tired jolt]

disabled the not deprecated version, and the mod i installed is working

not morefluff

i should clarify

[candid sable]

I'll still recommend not using r2modman thingy

I think it's doing weird things

And thunder is not a good grocery store

[ornate void]

Hello all. If anyone is willing to help, I'm trying to get a mod to work, but it isn't cooperating. I had installed the extra speed settings mod before this, and this seemed to be formatted the same way, but putting it in the same folder makes the game unable to actually launch. I'm really not used to modding in general, so I apologize if there's any obvious fixes I'm not seeing.

I can share more details once someone is willing to assist, sorry again for being a bit vague

[calm vessel]

which mod are you trying to play?

[ornate void]

It's the Tarot Deluxe mod, the one that gives a chance for buffed consumables.

[west hill]

Can you screenshot your mods folder?

[ornate void]

These are the only two things in it.

If I'm missing something important I apologize

[west hill]

When you download the mod, you need to put the entire folder in here

[ornate void]

(Also please don't tell me to activate windows they can have my money when I'm dead in the ground)

[calm vessel]

nah

[ornate void]

I didn't see a folder to download, just the raw data.

Is there a separate tab for that? Again, I'm sorry for being this dumb lol

I don't wanna seem like I need to be babied I'm just tech-illiterate

[calm vessel]

put it like this

[ornate void]

IDK how to get to that point.

[calm vessel]

there should be an asset folder when you download the mod

[ornate void]

There's like 20 different buttons on the github page

[tranquil vessel]

don't worry, github is really good at hiding it :)
here's a direct link to the latest release from tarots deluxe: https://github.com/JeffVi/DX-Tarots/releases/download/v0.3.1/DX-Tarots.zip

[calm vessel]

if not, try redownloading the mod

[ornate void]

Should I delete the first lua file?

[calm vessel]

yes

[tranquil vessel]

yeah, probably a good idea

[ornate void]

So that zip file will have the folder, and I put the folder in the mods folder?

[calm vessel]

yes

[ornate void]

Gotcha. Thank you all!

[tranquil vessel]

yeah, unzip it and put that folder in the mods folder

[ornate void]

Do I need to put everything in the mods folder, or just the assets folder?

[calm vessel]

just make sure all mods that have assets are in its own folder

[tranquil vessel]

should look like this ^

[ornate void]

Ahhh ok, so make a new folder and put the stuff in the zip file inside of it

Okokok

[calm vessel]

only important thing in the folder is assets and the lua(idk what source is)

[tranquil vessel]

you should include source, it's a couple of lua files the main file imports iirc

[calm vessel]

ohh ok

[ornate void]

It works, thank you all again. I did have one more question that's not nearly as important: Is there a way to do without the second smaller window that opens when playing this game modded, or is that just kinda always there regardless of whether I like it

[candid sable]

Really, put everything you see in the downloaded zip file in the folder is a better idea, especially when you don't know what they do

[calm vessel]

thats just there

[ornate void]

Darn

[calm vessel]

you can just ignore it

[tranquil vessel]

You should be able to hide it if you follow these instructions #1217867725532041369 message :)

[ornate void]

I did what that suggested and it still pops up.

[tranquil vessel]

hmm, weird

[ornate void]

It's here, right?

[tranquil vessel]

I'll be honest, I didn't double check that myself

[toxic cloud]

Mac users: what's --disable-console

[tranquil vessel]

yeah that should be it

[ornate void]

Very much isn't working

[tranquil vessel]

it works for me 🤔

[ornate void]

Really isn't the absolute worst thing ever honestly

I can just minimize the window

[toxic cloud]

yea smh

[candid sable]

Yeah

But still a bummer when something isn't working as expected

[toxic cloud]

me: damn it, Apple Script time

[tranquil vessel]

what OS are you running?

[ornate void]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh

[tranquil vessel]

windows 10, 11, mac, linux

[calm vessel]

[tranquil vessel]

oh, right

is that windows 10 or 11 though?

[toxic cloud]

it's win10

[tranquil vessel]

interesting, how can you tell? 🤔

[calm vessel]

is this win7?

[tranquil vessel]

I have the same thing on win10 lol

[toxic cloud]

I look at win11 and compare the difference

[calm vessel]

win10 then

[candid sable]

Hehe

[tranquil vessel]

we could also just let the guy answer lol

[toxic cloud]

iirc I have never seen an unactivated win7

[ornate void]

Very sorry, I just got distracted and forgot you asked, this is windows 10

[tranquil vessel]

Hmm, very weird. Could you try launching it from the cmd with the same argument?

[ornate void]

What's that

[tranquil vessel]

The Command Prompt. Go to wherever your balatro installation is, and type cmd in the address bar, and press enter. Then type Balatro.exe --disable-console in the cmd and see if the console still pops up or not.

[grand geode]

lmao?????

OH

[fallow bramble]

Wow you sure hate the Lobotomy Corp mod no need to shake it like that!!!!

[grand geode]

yeah okay i see

[fallow bramble]

[grand geode]

so undebuffing a joker calls Card:add_to_deck

and uh. that joker depends on that function

skull emoji

[fallow bramble]

Wait actually? Is it a vanilla or modded behavior?

[grand geode]

vanilla

[fallow bramble]

thunk moment

[latent nimbus]

one might say it gives you a lobotomy

[fierce ether]

i have a problem

i played a couple of hours in vanilla and got many achievements, but when i decided to download some quality of life mods, all my in-game achievements reset, and now everytime i restart the game i lose all my achievements. for example every new session when i go up to ante 4 i get the achievement "Ante up!" is there a way to make the achievements not reset?

I'M TALKING ABOUT IN-GAME ACHIEVEMENTS, NOT THE STEAM ONES

[exotic shadow]

By default, this should happen. I'm not sure, but maybe getting acheivement enabled will fix if, otherwise send your mod list.

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/AchievementsEnabler.lua

[fierce ether]

have that already

wait

[real shale]

Hey guys, using the Zen mode is there a way for it to still count as a win at ante 8?

As soon as we have it turned on the ante's just don't seem to end

I understand that may be by design but was wondering if there's a way to turn that off

https://github.com/Amvoled/Taikomochi

Not sure if there's a different version of this or a way to toggle what I'm looking for? Thanks for any help guys!

[arctic halo]

i know it's not supported and considered deprecated post-0.9.8 but is there an unofficial way to inject steamodded 1.x into balatro?

[exotic shadow]

Technically, you could maybe inject 1.0 into the game, but it would be a lot of work to do, and very little gain (if any)

[lean dune]

for the regular lovely patches, it's possible to take the dumped source files and inject those by replacing the originals, but idk about modules

[arctic halo]

do you know what i would have to do? i thought changing the link of the zip in the ps1 file would be enough but apparently not

[gilded vortex]

What do you think of this formatting? I'm not sure how to separate standalone abilities in Jokers when one is so brief

This is another one but without spacing

(I think I preferred the older "Boss Blinds are harder!" rather than the current, clearer text, but I digress)

[lean dune]

I think it's too much space - maybe make the empty line smaller in text size?

like {s:0.6} or so

[gilded vortex]

… why is s lowercase when the other controls are uppercase?

does this look smaller?

[west hill]

Definitely smaller

You can count the crt lines

[gilded vortex]

Speaking of moments

why do the draw_card functions have a stay_flipped arg that does nothing

[carmine mortar]

Stay mad, stay flipped

Idk

[gilded vortex]

I think I like this size

[exotic shadow]

You would have to go and perform all the lovely patches for steamodded (iirc theres more than 50 of them) on the game

[fervent owl]

Lovely/dump exists

Which aure already mentioned

[maiden oak]

does anyone know how i could modify the brainstorm mod to auto-reroll for two arcana skips with a soul tarot inside both

[white scarab]

The GitHub source does most of this actually, although it’s still in development

You’d have to manually check for the second tag to be a charm tag

[maiden oak]

if _tag == Brainstorm.SETTINGS.autoreroll.searchTag then
    if Brainstorm.SETTINGS.autoreroll.searchForSoul then
        -- Check if arcana pack from skip has The Soul
        soul_found = false
        for i = 1, 5 do
            if pseudorandom(Brainstorm.pseudoseed("soul_Tarot1" .. seed_found)) > 0.997 then
                soul_found = true
            end
        end

        if not soul_found then
            seed_found = nil
        end
    end
else
    seed_found = nil
end

This is how it works right now

[white scarab]

https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm/pull/6

It’s pretty much implemented already, you just have to install lovely by downloading the source code

[maiden oak]

this is exactly what i'm looking for thanks a lot!

[white scarab]

yw

btw let me know if you run into any issues since I’m still testing it out a bit

it worked fine for me, but the main Brainstorm dev told me it didn’t work for them

[maiden oak]

it works for me but as you mentioned in the PR it doesn't always generate two arcana skips. but it is a huge improvement nonetheless great work!

[white scarab]

ty

[maiden oak]

btw i don't know anything about lua or modding this game but after making this change it always shows two arcana skips (though it takes a bit of time :D)

if Brainstorm.SETTINGS.autoreroll.searchTag ~= "" then
    _tag = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Tag"], Brainstorm.pseudoseed("Tag1" .. seed_found)).key
    _tag2 = pseudorandom_element(G.P_CENTER_POOLS["Tag"], Brainstorm.pseudoseed("Tag2" .. seed_found)).key
    if _tag ~= Brainstorm.SETTINGS.autoreroll.searchTag then
        seed_found = nil
    end

    if _tag2 ~= Brainstorm.SETTINGS.autoreroll.searchTag then
        seed_found = nil
    end
end

I know I could merge these if statements but i didn't want to bother with syntax that i don't know about lol

nevermind it doesnt always work lol

[white scarab]

Try replacing "Tag2" with "Tag1"

the number at the end is for the ante

[sterile hornet]

steam problem

i might need to play with a VPN

ok now im not sure whats up

[rigid jewel]

what in the

[white scarab]

i have a flush build too

no telescope

[timid nexus]

m

[lean dune]

there's a patch in Steamodded fixes.toml that lets you play without steam, so the game should still run

I guess there's an issue if you happen to care about steam achievements

[mystic oar]

my first joker sprite so im a bit new

[cedar imp]

hey

question

how do yo

download mods

I found some interesting/cool ones

[sterile hornet]

you need steamodded and lovely

[cedar imp]

done

[sterile hornet]

ah

[cedar imp]

i jsut dont know how github works

Its confusing

And tutorials are way to vaugue on how 2

[sterile hornet]

there should be a releases tab to the right

[cedar imp]

mhm

[sterile hornet]

just download the zip file

[cedar imp]

for soome of them there is

codex arcanum doesnt

[gilded vortex]

Looks very good. I’d maybe move the question mark so it looks centered and maybe tweak the right leaning background question marks

@mystic oar

[sterile hornet]

if they dont have it, you can click the code dropdown and click zip file

[sterile hornet]

reply fail

[cedar imp]

thanks, very apreciated

[gilded vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/peachvitty-gif-24343442

The sprite:

[mystic oar]

i deleted the message coz i was gonna move it to #💻・modding-dev so reply stalemate if anything

[sterile hornet]

le gasp
is gone

[mystic oar]

yeah i can do that

[gilded vortex]

Le ga(s)ppie

[mystic oar]

never seen before sprite :D not reposted

but yeah ill move it

[gilded vortex]

What is the effect?

[mystic oar]

hallucination, 2

i might actually give the sprite a different effect but this was the easiest thing i had to sprite on hand

[gilded vortex]

The sprite makes me think of face-down cards

I just made a Joker to enable synergies with them

[mystic oar]

i can see that

that would be fun but also its a pretty niche mechanic in vanilla

[gilded vortex]

Which is why I want to think of enablers 🤔

[cedar imp]

HELP?

what does this mean?

[candid sable]

What you installed

[cedar imp]

More fluff
fusion
codex arcanum

all mods suposedly work together stable enough

happened when i tried switching acounts

As I plan to keep 1 acount vanilla

DO you have an idea of what i did wrong or what dint work?

maybe i downloaded the mods incorectly?

[cedar imp]

?

[candid sable]

Save problem?

They won't like sharing same save file

[cedar imp]

fixed

just

removed mods and placed them back to switch acounts

lol

[candid sable]

Well save will still be a problem I foresee

[dry gust]

Im getting an issue where Atlas is a nil variable, did i do something wrong with the setup? This is legitimitely all I have that is actually executing and is not just defining the mod

    key = "sannyoatlas",
    path = "sannyojokers.png", 
    px = 71, 
    py = 95
}```
the path does exist, for reference

[calm vessel]

what did you name the file

[dry gust]

its just sannyo.lua

[calm vessel]

is it just sannyojokers.png or j_sannyojokers.png

[dry gust]

the former

[calm vessel]

try renaming to the latter

[dry gust]

no luck

        Local variables:
         msg = string: "[string \"--- STEAMODDED HEADER...\"]:12: attempt to call field 'Atlas' (a nil value)"
         (*temporary) = Lua function '?' (defined at line 6044 of chunk main.lua)

         v = table: 0x2212e2c0```

[tranquil vessel]

I'm not that good with steamodded, but do you have the latest version (1.0.0)?

[dry gust]

ah, that might be it, its 0.9.8

the wiki made it seem like they were identical methods

ive git bashed before so its not trouble

it crashed still

        Local variables:
         msg = string: "main.lua:4145: Failed to collect file data for Atlas sann_sannyoatlas"
         (*temporary) = Lua function '?' (defined at line 6481 of chunk main.lua)
         (*temporary) = string: "Oops! The game crashed\```

[lean dune]

Maybe your image assets aren't saved in the right place?

[dry gust]

you have to save them into two places right? 1x and 2x?

[lean dune]

There needs to be a 1x version in assets/1x and another 2x version in assets/2x

[dry gust]

do they have to be different?

oh it worked!

[lean dune]

2x needs to be twice the size

[tranquil vessel]

yeah I believe 0.9.8 doesn't even support Atlas?

[lean dune]

the API was changed significantly from 0.9.8, which had Sprite instead

as for the docs, as it says on the main page for it, the numbered pages are for 1.0, the rest is for 0.9.8

[dry gust]

got it...

good to know!

[tranquil vessel]

there's also some decent examples at example_mods/Mods

[dry gust]

good! i was wondering if there was example files on the wiki

[tranquil vessel]

which I believe were all updated to match 1.0.0

[dry gust]

the github wiki is comprehensive, which is nice, but also its a bit over my head lol

[lean dune]

oh it actually isn't comprehensive, a lot of it is still missing or WIP

[dry gust]

more comprehensive than some wikis ive worked with

[tranquil vessel]

something that really tripped me up was pos lmao

[dry gust]

hmmm. wonder why this isnt displaying correctly

should just be $8

i have it in the file as {C:money}$#8#{} and afaik that should be right

[tranquil vessel]

I think it's $8 if you want it to be static, or $#[arg index]# if you want it to be variable

[dry gust]

ah, that makes sense. the 1 in 1 in 2 can change but the money shouldnt, that is actually really clear lol

[tranquil vessel]

you can take a look at en-us.lua for how it's done in the base game

[tranquil vessel]

you probably do want it to be a variable though, in case you change your mind on the payout - only 1 place to modify => less chances for mistakes

[dry gust]

right, i gotta look into actually how to make the card work more, thank you!

[tranquil vessel]

good luck! 🙃

[minor seal]

1 in 3 sounds balanced

[dry gust]

thats for me to tinker on later

right now the card is a dud anyhow

[gilded vortex]

You can also make the number a variable in case you decide to rebalance the card and you do not want to change every localization manually

[sterile hornet]

im not exactly sure how that works

[tranquil vessel]

fixes.toml does a couple of things, including being able to launch balatro when steam is not running

instead giving the Do you have Steam turned on? message

in other words, if you get that message, you shouldn't be able to launch unmodded balatro

does that make sense?

[sterile hornet]

well yes but where do i put it

[tranquil vessel]

I think you misunderstand - if you see that message, you already have it

[sterile hornet]

i tried a few thinigs but balatro just ran without lovely

[sterile hornet]

i see

[tranquil vessel]

it's just warning you that balatro couldn't connect to steam

normally balatro automatically exits (piracy prevention), but this circumvents that

(which I guess might technically fall under piracy? 🤔)

in any case, you might not get steam achievements etc, but if you have steam running while launching it should no longer give that message

[sterile hornet]

well
i did have steam running and it still gave me that message so im not sure how that works

[tranquil vessel]

that's weird

do you get the steam pop-ups/overlay etc?

[sterile hornet]

well i figured out the issue

my steamodded was missing the lovely folder

i probably accidentally deleted it

[toxic walrus]

try restarting pc

[candid sable]

lovely folder?

Oh lovely patches

[shell breach]

I'm sure this question gets asked quite frequently, but is there a guide available to someone that wishes to mod their balatro game for the first time? Its possible I didn't look hard enough but I couldn't find a guide on this server.

[gilded vortex]

I remember some outdated ones

But do you want to make a mod or just install them?

[shell breach]

Just install them. Is this channel for making mods only? If so I apologize

[candid sable]

No you are in the right place

[shell breach]

Okay awesome. I assume the modding process isn't as simple as download the github files and loading up the game, right?

[candid sable]

You haven't installed anything besides the game?

Or you are on some progress

[gilded vortex]

Well, almost

[shell breach]

I just have the game downloaded right now. Nothing else

[gilded vortex]

Most mods use Steamodded which is basically a mod that helps make mods

[shell breach]

Okay interesting

[gilded vortex]

There’s 0.9.8 which is the latest release and 1.0.0 which is in alpha

Recently there’s been some backwards compatibility support between them but it’s not guaranteed

So if you have a specific mod in mind, see what version it’s for

Either way, you’ll probably need to install lovely, use lovely to install Steamodded (or just have it around; depends on the version I think), then install the mod you want

[candid sable]

It's mostly simple, you download, extract, and you put the files into where they belong.

Individual mods may have unique requirements and details but you can ask until you encountered them

[gilded vortex]

There are more specific installation instructions

But again it depends on the version

[sterile hornet]

youre gonna need steamodded first

you can just search for it

there are 2 different versions but it depends on the mods you wanna get

[shell breach]

Thank you so much guys!

I'm probably going to start with Bunco first

[candid sable]

With Bunco I'll recommend you use 1.0.0

It has 0.9.8 version but it's not maintained

[humble saffron]

windows defender really does not like lovely huh

[candid sable]

WD moment

[dusky island]

if i mod just visual content can i still get achievements?

[tranquil vessel]

steamodded disables achievements by default, regardless of mods used

you'll need to use the achievement reenabler mod

[random silo]

I got this fun idea for pins that go on jokers, permanent enhancements like editions but with more specific and interesting effects while being weaker than enhancements. I proceeded to concept 25 of them because why have a sanity when you can suffer.

These are probably going to go in an enhancement mod im currently concepting

[humble saffron]

they probably nuke the sell price because nobody's willing to have a joker with a hole in it :(

actually half joker exists i don't think they'll mind

[wild thunder]

what if balatro but the math is wrong ("one of our developers thought the addition was wrong so he wrote his own addition function. enjoy")

[shrewd plume]

is there a mod that lets me skip entirely the scoring?

the x999 isnt enough for what im doing

[fervent owl]

There is Talisman mod

But it isn't 100% instant when it gets to thousands of retriggers

This is the best you can get tho as far as I know

[shrewd plume]

if its quicker than nepeus it should be good

[fervent owl]

They should be compatible

Nopeus is mostly for other animation speedups

[shrewd plume]

hmm well i just installed talisman and it seems i added too many blueprints cause it crashes as soon as i start blind

maybe its a different issue tho

[fervent owl]

Depends on what the crash says

Wait

[shrewd plume]

might be divvy too looking at the crash

yea it was the preview

[fervent owl]

If you got naneinf it won't work this run

Or you have to disable the scoring option

[shrewd plume]

yea works fine now, it was the score preview

[fervent owl]

In settings - spectral pack - Talisman

There should be a setting for scoring, I forgot what it is

Not animation, the 2nd one

I think if you disable that it should be compatible with score preview (but not 100% sure)

You gotta restart game tho

[shrewd plume]

ok, ty

[haughty turret]

windows now blocks ALL versions of version.dll it WILL NOT COOPERATE

[lean dune]

just add an exception in windows defender

[haughty turret]

we have a serious problem

[lean dune]

huh?

[haughty turret]

the last time it was scanned there was only 1 of 67 now its 17 of 67

[lean dune]

yeah they all started flagging it, which has been causing issues recently

[haughty turret]

do you think its really dangerous?

[zealous wave]

its machine learning bullshit

lovely injects into the game

[latent nimbus]

more accurately its a false positive

[lean dune]

it being flagged is to be expected, since it can be used maliciously - by itself it won't do any harm to your system

[zealous wave]

viruses inject into programs to keep themselves around

[haughty turret]

yea

[lean dune]

you can confirm that yourself given it's open source, and so are any mods you install

[zealous wave]

its not directly malicious but if there's someone determined enough they could make a malicious mod

[haughty turret]

yea, well windows wont even let me install it

[lean dune]

you should make sure the mods you install can be trusted though and refrain from using mods from sketchy places

there's a couple exe replacement mods on nexus for example, these are pirated and could easily have malware snuck in

[haughty turret]

it doesnt even show the virus in my security panel, it just wont let me

[lean dune]

alright here's what you can do

open windows defender and enter the "Virus & threat protection" tab

Click "Manage settings"

                end
            end
        end
    end`
end

trying to store chosen cards in the table self.debuff so it gets a save state.

but after exit to main menu and enter game again, the 13 debuffed cards are always different! its not remembering the debuffed cards, anyone can help?

[lean dune]

Scroll down and click "Add or remove exclusions"

[haughty turret]

it DOESNT show it in my windows security manager

[gilded vortex]

The game recreates cards whenever it loads a save file

[haughty turret]

here ill make a very short video

[gilded vortex]

You can’t save card references by saving the cards

[lean dune]

from there, add the folder of your Balatro installation as an exception (should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro)

[glad sedge]

so when original blinds debuffs entire suits, the game just call the debuff suit of the blind instead of sasving the state, because they are the same cards always, a specific suit?

[gilded vortex]

I heard cards have two unique identifiers but Idk exactly (one might be inherited from Nodes)

[glad sedge]

but why save and load methods have this then?

function Blind:save()
    local blindTable = {
        name = self.name,
        dollars = self.dollars,
        debuff = self.debuff,



    self.debuff = blindTable.debuff`

[gilded vortex]

I think more than that, only Blinds debuff cards, so it just removes the debuff from everything

[lean dune]

don't use love.math.random

it's inconsistent even on the same seed

[glad sedge]

only math.random then?

[gilded vortex]

I think Blind.debuff is a function but I’m not sure

[haughty turret]

see? it dont work

[lean dune]

balatro comes with a pseudorandom function you should use

you'll see it a few times looking through the source code

[haughty turret]

how do i fix that?

[glad sedge]

i use it for flips actually

function Blind:stay_flipped(area, card)
>     if not self.disabled then
>         if area == G.hand then
>             if self:get_type() == 'Boss' and pseudorandom(pseudoseed('wheel')) < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/26 then
>                 return true
>             end
>         end
>     end
> end`

[lean dune]

try using firefox

[haughty turret]

ill try chrome first

[lean dune]

no

all chromium based browsers will try their hardest to stop you

[gilded vortex]

Also if you’re using Steamodded you can just define those functions in your Blind object

No need to redefine the original functions or hook them

[glad sedge]

just quick testing, thats why

[lean dune]

doesn't matter if it's edge, chrome, opera or something else

[glad sedge]

so guys, there is no base way of saving the chosen debuffs from my custom debuff_card method?

i still dont understand why there are save and load methods that handle debuffs then

[lean dune]

that's more so for static debuff rules

[lean dune]

just using pseudorandom should be fine, since it will choose the same cards again on the same seed

[glad sedge]

OH. lemme test that then

[gilded vortex]

You can set a variable in the cards, or try to use the unique identifiers I mentioned

[haughty turret]

still doesnt work. i give up.

[glad sedge]

wait, but you mean i should give up the fisher yates algorithm?

[lean dune]

have you tried firefox??

[glad sedge]

i want the approach to be the less invasive as possible

[haughty turret]

yes, but windows wont let me move its directory once i have it. no flags in security once again.

[lean dune]

Try disabling real-time protection momentarily

[glad sedge]

@lean dune can you quick show me how to modify the method to properly use the pseudorandom? i used the math.random because i was unable to debuff different cards when resetting the game or starting a new run. the cards debuffed would be the same unitl i closed the game and reopened

in any case how to handle restarts or losing the game

[gilded vortex]

Again you can track which cards in different ways

[lean dune]

for starters, try just replacing love.math.random(1,i) in your shuffle algorithm by pseudorandom('debuff13', 1, i)

[haughty turret]

it downloads to C:\users\ [your name]\downloads. but i need it to move to C:\Program files X86\steam\steamapps\common\balatro. but it wont let me

[lean dune]

.

[haughty turret]

doesnt work

[gilded vortex]

Did you redownload?

[haughty turret]

windows is really dam mad at me.

[haughty turret]

wont work. cant move the file

[gilded vortex]

I’m not asking you to move

[lean dune]

Also add exceptions in here for C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro and C:\Users\<name>\Downloads

[gilded vortex]

I’m asking you if you downloaded and have the file around

[glad sedge]

oh my god that WORKS!, but here then we are still using the fisher yates shuffle algorithm right

[haughty turret]

i said the FILE wont move

[gilded vortex]

I heard you but that’s not what I asked :<

[lean dune]

there's also a pseudorandom_element function, you can use that to get a random playing card directly

that approach gets inefficient at low deck sizes or when a lot of cards are already debuffed though

[gilded vortex]

Or pseudorandom_shuffle to get multiple random cards directly

[lean dune]

that doesn't exist, does it?

[gilded vortex]

uhhh maybe I got the name wrong

There’s a function to randomly reorder tables

[lean dune]

it's pseudoshuffle

[gilded vortex]

Is the file still in your downloads?

[haughty turret]

yup

[gilded vortex]

I had a similar issue

But Windows was deleting the file

So when I tried to move it didn’t exist

[lean dune]

do you have this?

[gilded vortex]

It stopped deleting it when I disabled Windows Defender

[haughty turret]

also sry forgot to turn of my music

[gilded vortex]

But if the file is still there I’m not sure

[glad sedge]

sorry which one is better pseudoshuffle , pseudorandom_element or this im using?

local j = pseudorandom('debuff13', 1, i)

[gilded vortex]

Did you whitelist the downloads folder individually?

[haughty turret]

yup. just wont move

[glad sedge]

what i dont understand is how this :
local j = pseudorandom('debuff13', 1, i)
gets same results betwee save games but if the seed is the same on restarts it chooses other cards.

[haughty turret]

so i give up.

[glad sedge]

can you eli5 it for me

[haughty turret]

its fine.

[gilded vortex]

It depends what you’re trying to do I guess. I haven’t thought much about efficiency: I just use pseudoshuffle to get lists of multiple different random cards

[lean dune]

they're essentially the same thing, since that will also use the same algorithm internally

[haughty turret]

didnt need mods on balatro anyway

[gilded vortex]

Can’t you turn off Windows Defender?

[haughty turret]

not really

[lean dune]

please tell me you've at least tried this

I can't tell if you've just been ignoring me

[lean dune]

It will be the same if and only if G.playing_cards is in the same order

so you may need to sort if first for it to be consistent

[jagged jay]

quick question. when making the asset images, how do you save them at x2 size without losing quality? i use photoshop

[lean dune]

blud won't even respond 💀

[haughty turret]

i have. i give up.

[wild thunder]

m

[glad sedge]

any way to avoid being the same EVER?

[lean dune]

https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Cryptid/blob/main/assets/2x/resize.py you can use this python script to do it automatically

[lean dune]

you'd want it to be the same on the same seed though?

as well as within the same run for the same action

Try adding this before the shuffle table.sort(G.playing_cards, function (a, b) return a.playing_card > b.playing_card end )

[glad sedge]

What i want is:

1. if its the same game save, then if close game, reopen, or go to main menu as long games doesnt end by any means, to be the same when loading it.
2. i dont want the debuff cards to be the same when i reset the game, loss, win, start a new game, or computer explodes and reinstall windows and install balatro again (lol)

[lean dune]

you have 2 already

you don't have 1, probably because G.playing_cards is out of order each time

if that's the case, sorting it first should solve that

[glad sedge]

currently, if i close the game, reopen it, or exit to main menu, and hit " continue" the cards remains the same debuff . you mean that if i play a hand , exit, game, then hit continue again, the debuffs will be others?

yep, i played a hand, exited to main menu, hit continue and now i have 26 debuffs.. i dont see the end of thisss

[lean dune]

that might be due to how you're completely overriding the function

sorting should solve the part where it's different on the same seed on different runs

Blind:debuff_card() also has to make sure previously debuffed cards are undebuffed, and you're removing that functionality

[glad sedge]

what part is that exactly here?

function Blind:debuff_card(card, from_blind)
    if self.debuff and not self.disabled and card.area ~= G.jokers then
        if self.debuff.suit and card:is_suit(self.debuff.suit, true) then
            card:set_debuff(true)
            return
        end
        if self.debuff.is_face =='face' and card:is_face(true) then
            card:set_debuff(true)
            return
        end
        if self.name == 'The Pillar' and card.ability.played_this_ante then
            card:set_debuff(true)
            return
        end
        if self.debuff.value and self.debuff.value == card.base.value then
            card:set_debuff(true)
            return
        end
        if self.debuff.nominal and self.debuff.nominal == card.base.nominal then
            card:set_debuff(true)
            return
        end
    end
    if self.name == 'Crimson Heart' and not self.disabled and card.area == G.jokers then 
        return
    end
    if self.name == 'Verdant Leaf' and not self.disabled and card.area ~= G.jokers then card:set_debuff(true); return end
    card:set_debuff(false)
end`

thats the original code

[lean dune]

the last line, card:set_debuff(false)

[glad sedge]

function Blind:debuff_card(card)

    -- Shuffle function
    local function shuffle(t)
        local n = #t
        for i = n, 2, -1 do
            local j = pseudorandom('debuff13', 1, i)
            t[i], t[j] = t[j], t[i]
        end
    end

    self.debuff_count = self.debuff_count or 0
    self.debuff_attempted = self.debuff_attempted or false

    if not reset and not self.disabled and not self.debuff_attempted then
        if self:get_type() == 'Boss' and card.area ~= G.jokers then
            -- Gather all cards into a single list
            local all_cards = {}
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(G.playing_cards) do
                if playing_card.area ~= G.jokers then
                    table.insert(all_cards, playing_card)
                end
            end

            -- Shuffle the list of all cards
            shuffle(all_cards)

            -- Debuff the first 13 cards from the shuffled list
            for _, playing_card in ipairs(all_cards) do
                if not playing_card.debuff then
                    playing_card:set_debuff(true)
                    self.debuff_count = self.debuff_count + 1
                    if self.debuff_count >= 13 then
                        self.debuff_attempted = true
                        break
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    card:set_debuff(false)
end`

added it at the end, but new debuffs come after playing a hand or so.

[white scarab]

The one you sent here goes from 2x to 1x lol

[glad sedge]

maybe the shuffle should be inside the first condition?

and leave outside the set_debuff(false)

[lean dune]

oops, mb

[white scarab]

I have them set up so if you have python you can just drag and drop the files to resize

[lean dune]

admittedly that function is a bit awkward to use that way

[gilded vortex]

I feel like use the Steamodded Blind constructor would make your life easier

[lean dune]

it gets called for each card, which is not how your debuff operates

[glad sedge]

this is as far as my knowledges of lua gets. any further help greatly appreciated , even more so if you think im close to a solution here, spend many hours on this and its frustrating!

[dry gust]

how does the pseudorandom call work? is it just based off of the jokers key?

[gilded vortex]

No it just takes a seed

Usually thunk uses the Joker’s name or key or whatever just to make it unique

[white scarab]

ye

some combination of that and ante and maybe source

[west hill]

It depends on how you want your seeding to work

[dry gust]

i dont know if im using the function incorrectly
it says that its not closed, but as far as i can tell it should be

    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self)
        if pseudorandom('donation') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/2 
            then
                local bonus = self.config.extra.money
                return bonus end
            else
        end
    end```

[glad sedge]

calc_dollar_bonus = function(self)
    if pseudorandom('donation') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/2 then
        local bonus = self.config.extra.money
        return bonus
    else
    end
end

[dry gust]

well, it does work, but it seems like its activating 100% of the time

well now it just didnt

lol

thanks balat luck

how can i get the description to change when using all sixes?

[west hill]

You need to use loc_vars

[dry gust]

i do have a loc_vars, with the chance as an argument, though it still doest change

i think all sixes DOES work with it, but the text doesnt change

[west hill]

In your loc_txt have you used #1# for the number that should change?

[gilded vortex]

You don’t need the else

[dry gust]

yes

        text = {'{C:green}#1# in 2{} chance to gain',
        '{C:money}$#2#{} when round ends'}```

[gilded vortex]

Are you inputting G.GAME.probabilities.normal?

[dry gust]

yes

[west hill]

That looks fine

Can you send the loc_vars?

[dry gust]

here's the whole thing

SMODS.Joker {  -- Donation Box
    key = 'donation',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Donation Box',
        text = {'{C:green}#1# in 2{} chance to gain',
        '{C:money}$#2#{} when round ends'}
    },
    config = {extra = {chance = 1, money = 6}},
    rarity = 2,
    pos = {x = 0,y = 0},
    atlas = 'sannyoatlas',
    cost = 5,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true,
    blueprint_compat = false,
    loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, card)
        return {vars = {card.ability.extra.chance, card.ability.extra.money, G.GAME.probabilities.normal}}
    end,
    calc_dollar_bonus = function(self)
        if pseudorandom('donation') < G.GAME.probabilities.normal/2
            then
                local bonus = self.config.extra.money
                return bonus
            else
        end
    end
}```

[west hill]

So your first value is always 1

[gilded vortex]

First variable isn’t G.GAME.probabilities.normal

[west hill]

You want it to be the game probabilities one, right?

[haughty turret]

just keeps getting worse and worse guys.

[dry gust]

ah, alright
does that mean i wouldnt need the chance variable?

[gilded vortex]

Yes

[dry gust]

yeah, that works! thank you!

[lean dune]

oof

I don't think there's anything we can do about that

[haughty turret]

we have got to try to make a new LUA tool.

[lean dune]

why?

lovely has all the things we need

[haughty turret]

well if it destroys our computers, then i think its time to fix it.

[lean dune]

a modding tool that modifies a running process getting flagged as a trojan is to be expected simply because it acts like one

bruh

as I've told you, by itself it's safe - you can confirm this because it is literally open source

[glad sedge]

@lean dune i tried this in Card:set_base and Card:set_ability and now no card is debuffed..:

    if not initial then 
        if self.debuff_attempted == false then
            G.GAME.blind:debuff_card(self)
        end
    end

even set a flag here?

function Blind:set_blind(blind, reset, silent)
    if not reset then
        self.config.blind = blind or {}
        self.name = blind and blind.name or ''
        self.dollars = blind and blind.dollars or 0
        self.sound_pings = self.dollars + 2
        if G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward and G.GAME.modifiers.no_blind_reward[self:get_type()] then self.dollars = 0 end
        self.debuff = blind and blind.debuff or {}
        self.pos = blind and blind.pos
        self.mult = blind and blind.mult or 0
        self.disabled = false
        self.discards_sub = nil
        self.hands_sub = nil
        self.boss = blind and not not blind.boss
        self.blind_set = false
        self.triggered = nil
        self.prepped = true
        self:set_text()

        self.debuff_attempted = false`

[haughty turret]

then what could this virus be: Trojan.Lazy.D8A49C

[lean dune]

Lovely does what a Trojan does - less obviously so than the old steamodded injectors (it doesn't directly modify the executable, but the running process), but it allows arbitrarily changing the code the game is running on

which is perfect for everyone's modding needs, but it very much does act like a Trojan would, which is why it's flagged

it is however not malware, given it does exactly what it's meant to do in what it's doing

[haughty turret]

Trojan:Win32/Lazy is a backdoor for hackers to steal data. how do u explain dat?

[lean dune]

it's a false positive

[haughty turret]

if it does modify code then how come it has a back door likr this? i mean i can understand the others but not this one
