[viral zenith]

oh im wrong

the steammodded does go in the mod folder

i will screenshot mine for reference

[river lark]

i folowed the lovely one iirc

there doesn't seem to be any mod folders yet, i'll look further on the steammodded link

[tired roost]

was easiest so i did it first

[river lark]

so do i litterally jsut make a folder called "mods"?

[viral zenith]

is this windows?

yeah in roaming you make a mods folder

[river lark]

ok cool

[viral zenith]

well roaming/balatro

[river lark]

i only got lovely* no steammodded in yet*

[viral zenith]

but version.dll doesnt go there of course

yeah steammodded should go in the mods folder

[river lark]

so in this list i just add the mod folder?

i added the folder "mods"

[viral zenith]

thats not roaming is it?

[river lark]

where should i see that ;-;

i really don't know anything :(

[viral zenith]

i will help 🙂

this is the path you should follow i think to put the mod folder

crunc is just my username

[tired roost]

while drawing i accidentlay picked the clolor idential to the transparent background

[river lark]

i'll look

does everything i do need to go that path?

[viral zenith]

not the lovely

[river lark]

like the lovely + the fol- ok

just the folder then

[viral zenith]

the lovely is already where it should be

[river lark]

cool

[sturdy canyon]

why is talisman not working for me damnit

[viral zenith]

the steammodded and the modpacks your using go in a different place than the lovely

[river lark]

ah okey

but what is crunc?

i cannot find it

[viral zenith]

thats just my username

[river lark]

ah yea ok xD

[viral zenith]

if you dont seee the roaming it may be hidden

[river lark]

found it!

[lean dune]

does it break compat with base saves?

[viral zenith]

🙂

[viral zenith]

that looks right

[river lark]

i already downloaded steammodded

by: page > source > download zip

[viral zenith]

well i just cut and paste the entire steammodded folder into mods

[river lark]

can it technically be called "balatro mods"

or nah

[viral zenith]

i dont know

it may need to be named that exactly

[river lark]

the folder or the zip?

[viral zenith]

unzip first

[river lark]

i'll just keep it this way

i don't need to use the mods folder for minecraft annymore (god thank for modrinth)

[river lark]

okeys

done

[viral zenith]

looks good

[river lark]

and now i download a mod?

[viral zenith]

now you just need to put the mods in that folder following the same process

[river lark]

and put the unzipped folder in?

[viral zenith]

i mean maybe some mods work different than others

[river lark]

thats- it?

[viral zenith]

yeah at least for the mod that im using rn

[river lark]

huh, nice

and if i get lua

how can i preview the mod while working on it?

might be a big ask tho

[viral zenith]

i have no idea

[river lark]

ok

well thanks for now :)

[viral zenith]

sure 🙂

[river lark]

i'll look at lua once i actually have it

[west hill]

No

At least it shouldn’t do

I need to make sure I haven’t changed base behaviour

[river lark]

does the lovely program stay the whole time?

or well "program files"

[viral zenith]

what do you mean?

[river lark]

i now have 2 instances

of balatro

one is just code

or did i actually install a virus 💀

[viral zenith]

yeah i have something like that running while im playing too

[river lark]

and once i close balatro closes too

tbh its kinda annoying then

[viral zenith]

yeah i think its supposed to be that way

[river lark]

i mean fair but god thats annoying

[viral zenith]

having the second window open?

[river lark]

nah just in the background

i always look at thigns when they blink

[viral zenith]

oh. i play balatro in fullscreen so i dont see it

[river lark]

i do too

but i like to record my progress

[viral zenith]

oh

thoughts?

ive never seen such a ridiculous joker before personally

[river lark]

cool idea but god damn, immagine the runs

all the lucky cards 💀

[viral zenith]

yeah im going with lucky cards rn and they can stack

[latent nimbus]

imagine if balatro university plays this

[viral zenith]

its betmma mod

[latent nimbus]

funny

[viral zenith]

my lucky cards have a chance of creating negative jokers when triggering 💀

sadly i cant play them without the game crashing. but i refuse to sell hanging chad

what if i had naninf jokers?

[river lark]

;-;

[viral zenith]

what?

[river lark]

immagine the glass cards

you'll be set for life if you had 1 unbreakable glass cards

actually,

that seems like a good mod idea-

[viral zenith]

dont worry my lucky cards are polychrome

[river lark]

lol

[river lark]

i am abouta to make this my first mod 💀

double glass

[viral zenith]

well dont stop at double

[river lark]

that would be the name then

or what else should i name it?

[viral zenith]

right

hmmm

jenga maybe

[river lark]

reinforced glass?

btw

[viral zenith]

not bad

[river lark]

Why don’t glasses ever lose at poker? Because they always have a pair.

:)

[viral zenith]

.<

[fiery kayak]

what the hell is tentacle edition

[viral zenith]

its what allowed me to copy the 100 chips from the ice cream joker and put it onto the hangingchads value

[river lark]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1271527274075787264

[viral zenith]

i probably wouldnt be much help with mod creation

[river lark]

its fine

[lean dune]

you can turn this off by configuring your steam launch args as --disable-console

[river lark]

i need idea's >:D

[river lark]

where i can find the steam launch args?

[lean dune]

go to your steam library, right click balatro and select properties

there should be a "launch options" text box

[river lark]

ty

this good?

[tired roost]

another joker idea:
"When He Died"
[inspired and based on the Lemon Demon song "When He Died", each effect will have the line of the song it's referencing]

whenever a card is destroyed one of the listed effects happen:
Create a random Face Card (but not the card that was destroyed) (any card if the pendeolia joker or whatever it's called) ["When he died, turned out he left behind. A mention of other peoples skulls, the odd thing's that he never found his own"]
Create a random negative tarot, planet or spectral card in the usable slot ["When he died, he somehow left behind, strange symbols on the floor beneath his corpse, Investigators said the wood was scorched"]
Next played hand is upgraded three times ["When he died, they found so many scorpions inside his lungs"]
Create the deleted card with a random enhancement, random edition, and random seal ["When he died, the statues of his missing children cried, what was later found to be his blood"]
During the next round all jokers activate twice ["When he died, on a dark and stormy night, they telephoned his wife, who reacted with delight, but gradually her voice began to fade to nothing, and the laughing record played"]
Reroll the boss blind (wont happen when boss is active) ["When he died, they found a message etched into his spine, that said when he died, an endless age of untold nightmares would be nigh, and the blood would make the seas run red"]
Create a random negative joker ["When he died ,on a dark and stormy night, a nearby shed caught fire ,it simply caught alight, and when they cleared the charred wood from the ground, inside they found a painting of a clown, he'd painted it when he was just a child, but scrawled upon the back was exactly when he died"]

(song https://youtu.be/LKsolIr3ovk?si=YtUjzME5Mj7oVrv2)

[lean dune]

yeah that should do

[tired roost]

the last one was what realy made me concider this joker

[river lark]

cool :D

where can i get the glass card sprite?

i cannot find the enhancement on the google drive

[rugged dune]

can anyone who's colourblind please tell me if any of these jimbos are the same?

[still totem]

i hope i'm not being trolled

cuz i'm not colourblind

but the bottom left 2 are the same xD

[rugged dune]

the bottom 2 are slightly different

if you look closer the one on the right has slightly more green

[still totem]

even non-colourblind people are gonna struggle i think

yeah i see it

[rugged dune]

i just mean if any are same as the top right tbh

top left

im stupid

[still totem]

i don't think colour blindness will cause those colours to equate

there's some useful websites for testing out palletes tho

[rugged dune]

my colours are too dark

but i cant get them to be slightly lighter for some reason

[still totem]

hmmmm

idk if darkness will do it, it's more hues i think

some hues can be shifted to look the same

[rugged dune]

think i mightve got it

[still totem]

that looks more different yeah

phew i thought i just found out in the most unfortunate way i was colourblind

LOL

[rugged dune]

all the shader stuff is rgb by default so i cba to use hsl

lmao

there we go

[still totem]

is it just me or did that affect both of them

[rugged dune]

it did

i wanted to brighten them all

protonopia and deutronopia are apparently quite similar

[west hill]

The shaders have a hsl conversion function in them fyi

And an rgb to convert back

[rugged dune]

well the thing im using for colourblind values is rgb so it might not be very helpful anyway

but thanks

im gonna have these colourblind editions which all act the same ish

they swap 2 values

but some are for different jokers

because for example swapping chips and mult wont do anything on a money joker

[rare shell]

wait, is there a config to apply shaders to the soul layer? (I know it is possible to do manually, but is there like a built-in config or something??)

[rugged dune]

apply_to_float = true

i believe

[rare shell]

In the shader?

Or rather, in edition

[rugged dune]

in the smods edition thing

yeah edition

[west hill]

edition

[rare shell]

Oof

So no vanilla editions

[rugged dune]

local deuteranopia = SMODS.Edition({
    key = "ed_deuteranopia",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Deuteranopia",
        label = "Deuteranopia",
        text = {
            "{C:chips}Chips{} act as {C:red}Mult{},",
            "and vice versa"
        }
    },
    discovered = false or Ceres.discover_all,
    unlocked = false or Ceres.unlock_all, -- play a hand with 100x as many chips as mult
    shader = 'deuteranopia',
    config = {},
    in_shop = true,
    weight = 8,
    extra_cost = 4,
    apply_to_float = true,
    loc_vars = function(self)
        return { vars = {}}
    end
})```

you can take ownership probably

[west hill]

You can take ownership of them

[rare shell]

I'd want to be able to toggle that in game for vanilla editions

yeah that's an extra work lmao

[rugged dune]

theres only 4 vanilla editions tho

[west hill]

I should probably migrate it into the shader definition at some point

Its like five minutes of work tops to add it for vanilla editions

I might throw it in the editions mod I have in concept

[rugged dune]

for _, edition in (g.editions whatever) do
its_mine_now(edition)
floaty = true
end

idk if that would work but its funny

[west hill]

Oh you could do it that way too I suppose, just modify the object in the pool

[rugged dune]

im tryna think what other values i could swap

chips and mult is an obvious one

not sure what i could swap money with

hands and discards probably too

maybe card and joker generation

instead of getting tarots you get jokers and vice versa

could be cool for riff raff and whatnot

maybe retriggers and money?

wouldnt work for all of them tho

play end of round payout

maybe hands and money works better

just thought of a cool idea

making a black and white shader for any joker that you cant swap values for

[west hill]

You can likely just have this as one edition and have a function that changes which shader to use

[rugged dune]

maybe

i like being able to see them all in the collection tho

[fiery kayak]

I'm colorblind, the two on the left are exactly the same, the third one in the order is uncomfortably similar to the other two

[rugged dune]

do they look at all similar to regular jimbo?

there we go, full set

also changed this slightly

[nocturne lava]

Can you try throwing the bottom left two editions onto a card with green?

[rugged dune]

sure 1 sec

thoughts?

[nocturne lava]

Maybe add a shine effect or something to one? You're able to see the difference side-by-side like this, but, in game, it'll probably be really hard to tell if it's Protnopia or Deueranopia at first glance.

[rugged dune]

i would if i knew anything about shaders 😭

[nocturne lava]

Maybe just go with a general color darkening for now, then? Make the white not as white so that they're easily told apart, and then you could come back later if you figure out shaders?

[rugged dune]

ill fix it up before release, so for now i cba to do any work to the shader

not sure what to make the last one do

[tired roost]

not finished, but i just gotta brag about how well i did the reflection aspect

[rugged dune]

goddamn

are you available for hire?

[tired roost]

just flipped background with 15% transparency, and cut out to not be outside the monolith

[tired roost]

i could if i wasnt already making a game myself as a full time job

solo game dev is not easy

[rugged dune]

wait thats cool as hell

[tired roost]

and i cant afford to work for soemone else if i want to keep this game of mine alive

[rugged dune]

where can i find info about it?

[tired roost]

it's in such deep inDev you cant

[rugged dune]

ah nws

[tired roost]

i been only dropping hints so far

[rugged dune]

id love to know more about it

so lemme know when you drop more

[tired roost]

but im slowly but surley getting to a point where there is something to show

so in liek few months something will be

[rugged dune]

thoughts?

[tired roost]

ehh.... changes thing only in like 5 jokers, doesent make sense to be a eddition thing

[rugged dune]

all the jokers that make consuambles too

[tired roost]

would be better to just make these 5 jokers as their inverted things

like, new jokers

cause if you pull this eddition on any other joker, thats a waste of eddition

[rugged dune]

im making it so it can only be on jokers it effects

thats why ive got like 3 different editions

all based on colourblindness

[tired roost]

well then at this point it makes more sense to have a joker like this instead of an eddition that only works on that joker

[fickle elbow]

you could combine the 3 editions

[tired roost]

why me?

and wouldnt that just give double intensity vision?
(each of the 3 is by missing one color, so each has 2/3 color receptors, so 2/3 X3 = 2)

110
101
011

222

it would be super saturation

[fickle elbow]

i wasn't referring to the shader, i mean the effects. i was also speaking to nekojoe

[round ore]

may i ask how to get the achievements for steam to work? do i just put the lua in the mods folder? or am i doin sum wrong

[nocturne lava]

Make a mod folder for it by itself, name doesn't matter, and then throw it in there.

[tired roost]

finished "The Monolith" based on the sunrise on mars

hold on, as always, i tweeked it a bit after i said i was done

realy gives that depth

ahh damn it

any time i post my art i see a place i can improove it in

[fallow bramble]

Didn't know artists could rubber duck too

Actually no I do the same sometimes

[tired roost]

obviously something so shiny would cast reflection on the ground if the sun was shining at it directly

ahh damn it, i forgot about a reflection of the brightened floor

[lean dune]

oh hey

[tired roost]

cant think of anything i might have missed now

[lean dune]

i think this should be more useful than Syntax error: game.lua:4: '=' expected near 'Game'

[tired roost]

working the reflections made me come up with another joker.

"Prism"
makes colors act as their neighboring colors
(Spades = Clubs and Hears, Hearts = Spades and Diamonds, Diamonds = Hearts and Clubs, Clubs = Hearts and Spades)

this joker would make the clubs the best color (in terms of stone jokers)

cause both X1.5 and +50 chip

[round ore]

it still wont give me achievements

[nocturne lava]

Which achievement are you trying to get? And, just in case, try grabbing the file from here and using it instead of whichever version you found. https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/blob/main/example_mods/Mods/AchievementsEnabler.lua

[round ore]

thats the one i have. and the less than 20 card deck one. its the easiest i can test

[plucky pond]

literally this

[lean dune]

yeah but like

it actually tells you how to fix it

[west hill]

god it's so BLUE

[viral zenith]

can anyone reccomend a balatro mod/modpack that is known for not crashing? (not a cosmetic mod)

[swift matrix]

why are some people's crash screens blue but mine has always been gray? legit don't know

[swift matrix]

not sure if I've ever played a mod that literally never crashes ngl

[viral zenith]

😦

[swift matrix]

losing runs to crashes is annoying bur you kinda get used to it :P

[viral zenith]

sigh

ok but if i wanted something more on the stable end

[swift matrix]

I also never play with only one mod at once so take what I'm saying with a massive grain of salt

[viral zenith]

i dont plan on mod combining for now

[swift matrix]

I'd probably go with The World Ends with Jimbo, has a lot of jokers and I don;t think I ever get crashes from it

[viral zenith]

thanks

i guess i can just download it and dump it in my mod folder?

[lean dune]

crash screens are blue if they happen early enough

mostly syntax error within the game's code itself

[swift matrix]

ah makes sense

[tribal vector]

so somethings gone horribly wrong. balatro isn't even starting to load, just hangs on a black screen. if i remove version.dll it works fine, just anything modded crashes when i try to open it for obvious reasons. here's the log.

i've possibly gotten too silly for the last time

[tired roost]

so far my attempts at making this album cover into a joker
accidentaly make the joker hot

[tribal vector]

annd what would it do?

[tired roost]

this is for the "When He Died" i mentioned erlier

too long to re-type

just go to the chat search and look for messages from me

you'll find it

[tribal vector]

i see. neat

[modest portal]

do people consider quality of life mods "cheating"

[tribal vector]

what mods are we talking about?

[white scarab]

it's a gradient

[modest portal]

mainly subtle things

[white scarab]

like there's definitely a barrier between a texture pack vs. an auto-reroller vs. something that completely reworks a joker to make it better

[modest portal]

I'm intentionally avoiding stuff like hand previews n stuff

most stuff is displaying info that's already avilable in vanilla in an easier way

[tribal vector]

yeah that seems finbe

[modest portal]

so far just

[white scarab]

yeah this all looks fine

[tribal vector]

im assuming you're talking about like jokerdisplay?

[modest portal]

yeah im getting joker display rn

[white scarab]

i think the barrier comes from when things affect gameplay

[modest portal]

yeah

im leaning on caution for that

[tired roost]

ok, got a second to ping the joker

y'all should listen to some Lemon Demon tho

he's the genious behind the legendary meme of Ultimate Showdown Of Ultimate Destiny

[latent nimbus]

example would be not just yet

not just yet has the potential to be absolutely busted

[modest portal]

final list

[tired roost]

the song with that part that goes like
"And gandalf the gray, and gandalf the white, and the "montypython and the holy grail"s black knight, and mussolini, and ...."

[tribal vector]

I'd suggest that one consumable merging mod but you can actually use it to have more consumables than you're supposed to

just makeing non-negatives unmergable would fix that while they make a proper solution

[modest portal]

ah

tbh I wish there was a mod that showed stake stickers in game

for easier completionist hunting

[opaque badge]

There is one

[modest portal]

oh, link?

or name

[opaque badge]

StickersAlwaysShown

[tribal vector]

yeah you can have like 4 non-neg fools for example but only have them take up 1 slot

[swift matrix]

I'm guessing the reason you actually care much about 'cheating' is because you're only playing with QOL mods, and not content mods and want your performance to be comparable to vanillia

[opaque badge]

And LessIntrusiveStickers if you want them smaller, less intrusive (name, obv lol)

[opaque badge]

Until I reach all stakes completed, I'm only playing with QOL mods lol

[lean dune]

mod ui just got better (escape actually saves mod config, you return to the page where you came from out of individual mod boxes)

[swift matrix]

must make developing mods a bit odd then, lol

[opaque badge]

Yeah, when I finish development for the day, I move the content mods to its own folder, and back when I start back at development

[swift matrix]

makes sense

[modest portal]

yeah lol

[tired roost]

ok, now he looks exactly like the guy from the album

[modest portal]

I just wanna play the vanilla game just with slightly easier to digest UI n stuff

[modest portal]

you think you can link the github? I dont see it when searching

[opaque badge]

I've got some mods to recommend to you then

[fiery kayak]

is this meant to be Cicierga or just a Jimbo with some cicierga qualities?

[modest portal]

hm?

[tired roost]

is jumbo the name of the joker?

thats cool trivia

yes and no to both

it is Cicierga on a base of the joker cause i suck at faces

[swift matrix]

*Jimbo

[tired roost]

but also he's meant to look like the other jokers cause of couse

[fiery kayak]

I'd say maybe just make his face a lil thinner?

Neil has a very

long head

[tired roost]

this is jumbo (original joker "Big Earner")

fatass

[modest portal]

tho idk if you could call this exactly "easy to digest" lol

[opaque badge]

[modest portal]

ah thanks :D

[tribal vector]

dimserenes modpack is busted for me

may be related to the game currently having me in 'tutorial mode'

[tired roost]

now just to do background

[tribal vector]

leaving tutorial mode has broke it in a third fucking way

and this is after a reinstall of the modpack and game

istg if the newest version of steammodded broke everything

[gilded vortex]

is that cabinet man

[tired roost]

too

the album has Cabinet man (one of the top's of Lemon Demon imo)

but this joker is based on When He Died thats on the same album

if i went for cabinet man it would be an arcade machine

[lean dune]

G.SETTINGS.tutorial_complete = true; G.SETTINGS.tutorial_progress = nil; G:save_settings() should get you out of tutorial mode

[tired roost]

since it will definitly be a rare given the amount of chaos it can do, imma also do some transparency places

nevermind, i cant think of where there could be transparency

i now have exactly 20 custom jokers

and im not stopping

if you wanna help me mod them as a full mod dm me (you programming)

[tribal vector]

ok good thing to note, most mods fucking hate tutorial mode

[white jacinth]

Question, can I force mods to work through Balamod, or must I necessarily use other injectors?

[white scarab]

Issue is other mods have to be written for Balamod, and it’s not nearly as large as Steamodded now

[white jacinth]

Aah.

So they are not compatible, but actually different mechanisms

sadge

[tribal vector]

how would i manually create lobcorps config file? id dosen't seem to be able to create it itself or is failing to detect it not existing

[fallow bramble]

Click "Mods" on the main screen

[tribal vector]

does that just automaticly create any needed config files or do i need to do something else?

[fallow bramble]

I think that should do it normally, otherwise the mod's missing something

[lean dune]

also update your steamodded, you're almost 2 weeks behind

[tribal vector]

i just reinstalled dimserenes modpack from the setup bat

this is the version it uses ig

although i am seeing a whole lot of fuckin red deck right now

[west hill]

is red deck bugfix merged yet?

[lean dune]

no, i still need to finish reviewing the sticker stuff

[swift matrix]

Starting to feel like this is a pretty good Joker loadout, lol (negative Lolita Mic is just for temprence value)

[fallow bramble]

I love the gun joker

It's just so silly

[swift matrix]

oof, but not good enough for ante 11

[swift matrix]

hehe me too

[tribal vector]

so dna deck combined with "end round button" mod makes it super easy to COMPLETLY RIG YOUR DECK HOWEVER YOU WANT

20 steel aces generated a round.

[fallow bramble]

Did you had "Iconic Icon" too?

Would be such a crazy combo

[tribal vector]

no, but if i manage to find crust i'll dig for it

[swift matrix]

And Printer (from Mika's mod I think) would enable even more card duplication

[tribal vector]

im using dimserenes modpack

[swift matrix]

ah yeah he removed Mika's

Kinda premature imo

[pulsar minnow]

Guys I probably cracked the negative edition shader thanks to help of ChatGPT without too much coding knowledge.

[latent crescent]

Can you with help of ChatGPT make this shader acceptable for OpenGL? Like make it usable for web

[torpid drum]

hey can someone help me figure out whats going on here

where is 1.0

[fervent owl]

you need to download source code, by clicking "Code" button

[latent nimbus]

you download 1.0 directly from source

[fervent owl]

and then downloading zip archive

[torpid drum]

whats a zip archive

oh u mean just the zip folder

on the dropdown

LMAO

[pulsar minnow]

I don't have much knowledge in shaders but after today I want to learn. If we can find example codes to refactor this code may be we can brute force ChatGPT to do that.

[west hill]

they'd jsut need updating from the old weird strand of opengl that love uses, right?

[torpid drum]

okay i need some help getting 1.0

steammodded 1.0

can someone help

and can i use it with r2modman

[white scarab]

[torpid drum]

why not 😦

i dont wanna have to move the mod folders every time i wanna play vanilla

[swift matrix]

They're called archives, lol. I guess because Windows opens them like folders and has for a long time the term is less used now

[swift matrix]

Just rename it .mods

[torpid drum]

ig

anyways

[swift matrix]

Or anything that isn't "mods"

[torpid drum]

can someone help me get 1.0

i been using 0.9.8 this whole time

but now i want to play 1.0 mods

[latent nimbus]

alright so first you have to verify integrity of game files on steam to uninstall 0.9.8

[torpid drum]

where do i start w/ that

[round ore]

does anyone know how to fix this issue?

[nocturne lava]

What mods do you have?

[crisp stump]

hey kris friend here

he has no idea what he’s doing

[opaque badge]

If you copy the Balatro.exe and rename it to something like Balatro - Modded.exe it will provide a completely separate area in your AppData for mods for that specific executable

basically r2modman profiles

All you gotta do is copy your save file over, and you're good to go

[crisp stump]

can you help him get steammodded

[torpid drum]

1.0

luchador appreciation account is done with my shit

LMAO

[crisp stump]

[opaque badge]

^

click that link, and follow the README on the repo

[crisp stump]

right so heres the issue with that

he uh doesnt know how to use git

[opaque badge]

You don't have to even touch git

[west hill]

does he know how to read?

[crisp stump]

no

[west hill]

that is a shame then

[crisp stump]

using the 3-6 step thing?

[west hill]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started

install lovely

install steamodded 1.0 using direct download

[opaque badge]

There are two options: Either direct download, and using git. Choose the first option, and follow the directions

[torpid drum]

no

do i have to uninstall v0.9.8 to install v1.0

[west hill]

yes

it's literally in the guide

[swift matrix]

Yes, or well you need to reverify the game with steam if you installed with the injector, or just delete 0.98 is you were already using the Lovely method

In any case reverify the game files to be sure

[torpid drum]

kay

im gonna read and do the rest of the stuff on the guide & if i have any questions ill ask

lets give this reading thing a try

[opaque badge]

Don't forget about this after you install everything if you want profiles

[torpid drum]

ok i did it

i have no idea what i did differently from last time

but

sure ok it works im not gonna complain

[rotund whale]

highest I've scaled in cryptid before

yo @ whoever made the cryptid mod

you need to fix a glitch with empowered tag

I got the memory tag proceeding empowered tag

which bugged out the game

[timid nexus]

we alr know what it is

(72 - hue), then +360 if <0
plus a value inversion

[rugged dune]

is it at all clear what he does?

[pulsar minnow]

What about Foil do we have a shader of that? I am trying to see how it works.

[feral jolt]

You mean like 1 in 300 for ante 1 small blind?

[rugged dune]

well

0 in 300

then when you play a hand

say it scores 150 points

then its 150 in 300

[timid nexus]

you can just look at the code

you can literally just open the game's exe in 7zip and look at the shader code

[feral jolt]

I'd word it as "Chance to win blind equal to proportion of blind's score requirement scored when hand is played"

[rugged dune]

thats very wordy tho

[feral jolt]

It's about as understandable as I can make it

[pulsar minnow]

Yeah, I am doing that and try to recrate that in GIPS via help of GPT to print some cards in real.

[rugged dune]

score in requirement is pretty straight forward tho

i feel like

i would make it score/requirement chance but i want to keep it consistent w the game

[west hill]

can't you just make it dynamic?

[feral jolt]

Then make it "Hand Score in Blind Requirement"

[rugged dune]

id rather not

[hollow oak]

please advise me someone crazy mod like cryptid

[swift matrix]

Cryptid is pretty unique

[white scarab]

Play redeemed deck with all the voucher mods

[swift matrix]

Though jenwalter is working on an expansion, it's not released though

[white scarab]

Or add Cruel Blinds

[swift matrix]

Betmma's vouchers can get pretty nuts combined with other mods too, is guess especially cryptid

[hollow oak]

i really want play jens almanac

xD

[rugged dune]

is this better?

[swift matrix]

I still can't quite parse what it means

[swift matrix]

Oh I see

Maybe the green sounds be "Current scored proportion of blind requirement"

But wordy, but a lot easier to understand

[rugged dune]

i dont get how its not clear tbh

current score

out of blind requirement

i just scored 500 and blind is 10000

well its 500 in 10000

[swift matrix]

Because the "put if blind requirement" is only implied and ots very grammatically fucky. It's easy to forget that green text is a probability

It's fine now that I understand it, but from an outside perspective I think it's still a bit hard to read

[rugged dune]

the only green text in the game is probability related tho

[swift matrix]

Yes, unless you're colorblind or use a trance theme that changes it

[nocturne lava]

Why not make it dynamic in parentheses or something?

[swift matrix]

Or just forget momentarily

As I said I get it now, but it found be worded a bit more clearly

[swift matrix]

(Current score / blind requiremnt)?

Would be a lot more readable too tbh

[nocturne lava]

Make it something like "Current Score (0) in Blind Requirement (300) chance to win Blind"?

[swift matrix]

Yeah exactly

I forgot it's "in" in balatro

[nocturne lava]

All you'd have to do is put 0 and 300 as variables in the config, feed those to loc_vars and start of each blind, adjust the 300, and after each hand, adjust the 0.

[rugged dune]

yeah ik how to do it

[nocturne lava]

I feel like having numbers would make it 100% clear.

[candid sable]

Finally a win lol

[gilded vortex]

I’d make it into a percentage because “72,043 in 96,000” is too difficult to parse. Maybe something like:

0% chance to win after you play a hand
-# (Improved by your current score)

Maybe “your score this Blind” instead

[rugged dune]

that is a beautiful suggestion

thank you

[gilded vortex]

I’m glad. I try to provide good wording suggestions and I think I am decent enough

Also this feels like a Legendary effect lol

[rugged dune]

its pretty good, but the closer you are to winning the less important it becomes probably

might up it to epic at most

[gilded vortex]

I mean it should double with O!A6s

Which would make it the strongest O!A6s synergy piece

[rugged dune]

im gonna make it incompatible with oops

[gilded vortex]

what are epics anyways

[rugged dune]

just a rarity above rare

1.5% chance to spawn

although im gonna make it 1

[nocturne lava]

You could hide it behind another card, with pool flags, or an impossible pool flag and a joker that uses create card to spawn it.

[gilded vortex]

Or make it Legendary

[rugged dune]

or just make it epic lol

[gilded vortex]

What is more likely, Epic or Legendary?

[rugged dune]

epic

can spawn in shops

[gilded vortex]

doesn’t mean it’s more likely

I think the chance of getting a specific Legendary on average was about 1% but I’m not sure

So it would be the same chance

[muted osprey]

Just wondering, how do I make modifications to vanilla jokers? Can I just edit game.lua and card.lua and use these as mod files, and let the game override the original game.lua and card.lua?

[rugged dune]

this is what im settling with

[rugged dune]

with steamodded you can take ownership

and then edit them how you like

[swift matrix]

Is that the dog fun the prototype version of Fanily Guy?

Idk where I recognize him from

[rugged dune]

talking ben lol

[swift matrix]

Oh lol

[muted osprey]

So for example, if I wanted to make bonus card +50 chips instead of +30, I just put my version of game.lua as a mod file, and then change +30 bonus to +50?

[swift matrix]

Id never hard ilof that though, weird

[rugged dune]

you should just be able to take ownership of the enhancement and edit it

no need to copy the games files

[swift matrix]

Must've seen art from it somewhere

[rugged dune]

probably

hes pretty funny

[rugged dune]

😧

[viral zenith]

why are there 2 e's?

[rugged dune]

ben?

[swift matrix]

Just that big of a number

[grand geode]

talisman break infinity

[viral zenith]

i see

lol

[tribal vector]

Welcome to the realm of uber beeg numbers. Here is that as 1 followed by a lotta 0s.

179 KB of 0s.

[viral zenith]

o.o

lemme count that real quick

[tribal vector]

178413 characters. so 1 followed by 178412 0s.

[viral zenith]

niiiice

[tribal vector]

The limit for Talisman big number is 1EE308. That 1st E is likely also 308, so hang on a sec..

Hmm.. I'm assuming the big num calculator got screwed up by the decimels in the E, as I only got about 98K 0s with 1EE308.

[viral zenith]

this is pretty mind boggling stuff

[tribal vector]

yeah these are reality breaking numbers

don't get me started on the omeganum limit tho

[viral zenith]

whats that? 👀

[brisk seal]

the highest number omegaNum will store

[tribal vector]

It's a new setting on the latest version of talisman. The limit becomes e10##1000. Whatever the hell that means.

You know what the #s mean mathguy?

[brisk seal]

e3#7 is eeeeeee3 about

[tribal vector]

ooh so the # means "amount of Es"

so the result of 1000Es.. That many Es.

thats the kinda number that would make your head collapse into a blackhole if you could fit it all in

[brisk seal]

no

omeganum limit uses a double hashtag

which basically means there are 1,000 hashtags

[tribal vector]

oh

oh no

[brisk seal]

the limit is meant to be out of reach

[tribal vector]

yeah i get that

i wonder how much memory would be needed for a number that big..

there goes any chance of calculating how many antes to reach omeganum limit

[muted osprey]

Except I'm making changes to almost every item in the vanilla game, so how would I do that?
Can I just copy the part from game.lua where all of the cards are defined and then just edit the values?

[rugged dune]

just take ownership of everything probably

its gonna be long either way

[white scarab]

Or maybe hook Game:init_item_prototypes to edit G.P_CENTERS directly

[rugged dune]

^^ this guys way smarter than me, listen to him lol

[white scarab]

This is probably easier if you just want to edit numbers. In most cases it just works but a few are hardcoded

If you want to completely change a Joker’s behavior then you should probably use take ownership

[muted osprey]

Most of them are number edits, where the number depends on the variable "level"

So how would I do that?

[white scarab]

Do you want “level” to change during the run, or only on game startup?

[muted osprey]

eventually, I may want to add some items that can change the level during the run
e.g. Tarot Upgrade — upgrade all Tarot cards by one level

[white scarab]

Hmm alright

[muted osprey]

I'm just wondering how to implement that, since most of the upgrades are numerical

[white scarab]

That might be more or less difficult depending on if you want it to apply to current and/or future items

Since current items’ values are saved individually, but future items are pulled from a lookup table basically

[muted osprey]

Let's suppose that I have a Joker, but in the shop, I picked up an upgrade item that upgraded it to level 2. The expected behavior is that the Joker immediately becomes level 2, instead of needing to sell it and get a level 2 Joker separately

[white scarab]

If you bought a future Joker of the same kind, would you also want it to be level 2?

Or only the ones currently on-screen

[muted osprey]

I haven't quite gotten the concept, but one idea I had is that all Jokers of a certain type gets upgraded after taking a certain item (e.g. the first "+Mult upgrade" upgrades all +Mult jokers to Level 2, where every +Mult joker seen in the shop will now be Level 2)
This upgrade will persist for the rest of the run

But my concept is basically being able to upgrade any item currently in the game

[white scarab]

Ah, I see

I think the most straightforward way to do this, while affecting both current and future items, would be to make a function that processes upgrades for a specific known item

[muted osprey]

One thing I tried was this (for a level 2 bonus card)

m_bonus =   {max = 500, order = 2, name = "Bonus", set = "Enhanced", pos = {x=1,y=1}, effect = "Bonus Card", label = "Bonus Card", config = {bonus=(30+(20*level))}}

but the game didn't register it

[white scarab]

Main issue is you’d want it to change throughout the run

I don’t know too much about where enhancement data is stored in a card but what you’d want to do is modify the config when the upgrade happens, and then apply it manually to all current cards held in hand, deck, discard, etc.

[muted osprey]

I was thinking to just change the definition of a joker / enhancement / tarot / edition etc. whenever the upgrade happens, but I don't know if that's actually going to work

Of course, this is quite far, so I'm thinking of just starting with a mod where every item is Level 2, and then figure out from there

[white scarab]

So something along the lines of (I’m just using a Joker value as an example since I’ve worked more with those)

function upgrade(card)
   if card.config.center.id == "j_joker" then
    card.ability.mult = 4*([level variable for +mult])
  end --for +Mult in general, you could maybe check if a mult variable exists in the center table, might not scale well with other mods tho
end

From there, there’s two places where you’d need to apply this function that process upgraded values

[muted osprey]

It's very likely that this mod will not be compatible with custom jokers in other mods, since the levelling amount for each joker / tarot etc. is manually set

[white scarab]

Yeah then I’d assume you’d probably have some sort of massive if else statement or lookup table system for this function

The first is in create_card which is when a card is created (from a shop, consumable, etc.)

[muted osprey]

That's why I was suggesting making changes to the already existing if else lookup table in game.lua

[rugged dune]

is this too bad?

[white scarab]

The problem with changing G.P_CENTERS is it won’t apply to cards you currently have

I’m working on typing an example now that solves this, I do something similar to randomize all Joker values in Cryptid

[swift matrix]

This "Ceres" project of yours seems pretty extensive (and exciting) should probably get its own thread soon to build some hype

[rugged dune]

ill make one now actually

[white scarab]

local cc = create_card
function create_card(args) --there’s several arguments, you would need to copy them all here
  local card = cc(args)
  upgrade(card)
  return card
end```

You would also have to run this function whenever you use the consumable that applies the upgrade to make it work with currently held items

use = function(self, card, area, copier)
  G.GAME.plus_mult_level = G.GAME.plus_mult_level + 1
  for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    upgrade(G.jokers.cards[i])
  end
  --Do the same for shop_jokers, etc. - any card areas that could have jokers
end

[muted osprey]

Here are the things I planned can get upgrades:

• Jokers (+mult, xmult, chips, effect, retrigger, economy)
• Consumables (tarots, planets, spectrals)
• enhancements, editions, seals
  (but not vouchers, since not only will it have to be retroactive, and some things can break)
  (also, I haven't thought about how to upgrade some skip tags)

[white scarab]

This system should have you covered for any number changing. If anything doesn’t work you might need to take ownership of it to allow it to work with number changing

Shoot the Moon, Riff Raff, Fortune Teller, Chaos the Clown, Perkeo are some that are hardcoded

Planets also work a bit differently, since the hand level ups aren’t stored in the cards themselves

[white scarab]

For this one you would basically modify the table that those values are in, and I’m pretty sure it just works

[polar schooner]

I don't think it needs to be chance based, swapping values really isn't that powerful in aot of cases

reading the Ceres thread made me think, do you ever think we'll see any mod that allows multiple editions per card

since I don't think the shaders would like that

[grand geode]

it doesn't, that's why i banned all editions from Information

[polar schooner]

I guess you could probably just cycle through the shaders every couple seconds

[torpid drum]

EXCUSE ME?

[tribal vector]

i think that would always generate a foil joker

[torpid drum]

nope

[tribal vector]

oh, bunco

[torpid drum]

i assume if its held in hand its +50 chips

?

[tribal vector]

that's the one that made my game shit its pants

[torpid drum]

the mod?

that makes sense

[torpid drum]

it did this to me

but i like it anywyas

[swift matrix]

The tags give a buff to your next played hand

[swift matrix]

It was a bit broken for a while but u think it's working fine now

[tribal vector]

here's what i was refering to #1255696773599592458 message

[swift matrix]

Ah I see

[tribal vector]

bunco shits its pants if you use reboot while the round can be ended

and seems to brick the save along with it

[swift matrix]

Yeah I've never used the mod that it's imcompat with

[muted osprey]

I tried just starting off with a mod that has a j_joker that gives +6 mult instead of +4.

--- MOD_NAME: upgrademod
--- MOD_ID: upgrademod
--- MOD_AUTHOR: [ValkyRiver]
--- MOD_DESCRIPTION: upgrademod

----------------------------------------------
------------MOD CODE -------------------------

function upgrade(card)
  if card.config.center.id == "j_joker" then
    card.ability.mult = 6
  end
end

function SMODS.INIT.upgrademod()
  upgrade("j_joker")
end

However, this happened.

[SMODS upgrademod "upgrademod.lua"]:11: attempt to index field 'config' (a nil value)

[swift matrix]

But that sounds very unfortunate

[tribal vector]

so sounds like it's looking at card.config which is nil, and.. death. I;'m assuming this was a unmodified card you tried this on?

[grand geode]

you are passing a literal string "j_joker" instead of a card object

zero surprise

[muted osprey]

Well... I'm new to modding, so I have no idea that doing the string "j_joker" would be a problem

So what should it be instead?

[white scarab]

Try doing this

[muted osprey]

what do I put for args?

[white scarab]

_type, area, legendary, _rarity, skip_materialize, soulable, forced_key, key_append

[muted osprey]

Also, I'm not up to the stage of creating the upgrade cards yet, I still haven't even figured out how to make a mod which starts with an upgraded j_joker

[white scarab]

I think something much simpler would work then:
G.P_CENTERS.j_joker.config.mult = 6 (assuming it’s in config.mult in the game.lua table, I can’t check right now)

[muted osprey]

By the way, how do I change the text for the description of a joker/consumable/enhancement etc.?

[white scarab]

The numbers should change themselves because they’re designed to reference the values

[muted osprey]

I'm saying, maybe changing the description of j_joker to (lvl.2) +6 mult or something

[white scarab]

That one would probably be good with taking ownership since you have to change the description and variables

[muted osprey]

oh

okay

[white scarab]

Also by the way I would probably recommend using the Steamodded 1.0 beta, it makes things much easier

One simple description might be like:
"(lvl.#1#) {C:mult}+#2# Mult"

and then you can tell the game what variables those are

Here’s a very simple example of both those parts from my mod

loc_txt = {
        name = 'Cube',
        text = {
            "{C:chips}+#1#{} Chips"
        }
        },
…
loc_vars = function(self, info_queue, center)
        return {vars = {center.ability.extra.chips}}
    end,
…

[muted osprey]

I don't quite understand this syntax; could you please explain it to me? And what is the {C:attention} that I see everywhere but has no idea what it means?

[polar schooner]

That's the colour of the text

[white scarab]

Balatro basically passes this through a formatter that turns this into a fancy text box with colors, variables, etc.

The #1#, #2#, etc. reference variables that you give in the loc_vars() function. In the example above that would be the chips value given in center.ability.extra.chips.
Things in {} represent formatting options. There are many but the most common one is C: which represents colors. For instance C:mult is the color used for Mult, C:attention is the yellow color used, etc.

[muted osprey]

By the way, I tried upgrading every +mult joker, but only j_joker got upgraded, and nothing else:

[white scarab]

Look at what value they store the mult in

It’s different for each joker

[muted osprey]

oh, it's in game.lua

[azure dagger]

Oh dear god... pray for me, everyone.

[grand geode]

ngl doesn't look that terrifying LOL

[azure dagger]

WE WIN

(Mr. Bones saved the run)

[desert sorrel]

Im getting an error that says I need a "ModLoader Helper"

HELP PLEASE

[grand geode]

what

[desert sorrel]

Nvm

I found the problem

[rugged dune]

in future feel free to keep reply pings on for me

almost completely missed this message

i mean if you get a colourblind edition on a joker that cant swap values it does this

so maybe thats balanced enough and youre right i dont need the probability

[swift matrix]

oh.... so uh... this is one edition that shouldn't be in the aura pool then

[swift matrix]

.

[feral jolt]

Unless the effect of the edition is to be free and sell for the full sell value of the joker or something

[rugged dune]

well its only available on jokers that cant swap values

4 diff types of colourblind edition

[grand geode]

music

[rugged dune]

they only go on valid cards/jokers

so if you take the spectral

it might give you the chips/mult swap on a chips joker

but it cant give any of the other colourblind editions on that joker

and if it randomly picks a joker that it cant have one of the editions that swaps values

it gives it the black and white one

so its like a downside

a risk

[swift matrix]

I meant WOF, like, doesn't change anything, but I mispoke, lol

[knotty roost]

YES
IT WORKS

this is going to suck trying to play with, but I love it

[rugged dune]

wof?

[swift matrix]

wheel of fortune

because aura acts on playing cards

which obviously wasn't relevent

[rugged dune]

oh right

the chips and mult swapping one will be on wof

wait

no aura

[swift matrix]

yeah that's fine, I think. Just don't wanna have something risk totally killing a joker. Whatever does that shouldn't be in any of the pools that give random editions

would 100% make me not install the mod, lol

[rugged dune]

yeah no dw about that lol

only if you take the spectral it has a chance

[river lark]

how should i make the joker it self? to go with this card?

tbh, i am not sold on the iron corners yet :I

[muted osprey]

Okay, here is a testing version of this mod, with level 4 mult, level 2 chips, level 6 xmult, level 5 econ, and level 3 effect:
(Unimplemented Jokers: Ceremonial Dagger, Joker Stencil, Business Card, Four Fingers, DNA, Splash, Pareidolia, Sixth Sense, Superposition, Séance, Shortcut, Midas Mask, Luchador, Diet Cola, Mr. Bones, Certificate, Smeared, Showman, Blueprint, Oops! All 6s, Brainstorm, Caromancer, Astronomer, Burnt Joker, Chicot, Perkeo)

[rugged dune]

it couldnt be more clear what this joker does right?

[swift matrix]

prolly wanna add "for the round" just to be safe

but yes it's clear with some reasoning, considering it's a common and not a cryptid exotic

lmao

[rugged dune]

lol

burglar doesnt say for the round tho

so i think im alright

[swift matrix]

yeah, prolly

it always says "permanently" when it means so tbh

[rugged dune]

true

[novel wave]

burglar uses just +number

oops didnt read the rest

[novel wave]

its clear but its too strong for a common imo

hehe

though would fit better if I was running the simpleblue trance theme instead of my own aqua/purple one

[novel wave]

insane

[rugged dune]

do you think itd be better to reduce the % then?

[rugged dune]

you turned balatro into a horror game wth

[grand geode]

i'm putting too much effort into my challenges i think

[rugged dune]

it looks hella good

tweaked the numbers a bit

[grand geode]

3/12 are done i think, but one is untested

by untested i mean just make it work because i'm not playing through my own shit unfortunately

[rugged dune]

fair enough if youre making a bunch of challenges

i probably wouldnt play through 12

ive had enough of the base game ones

[west hill]

I see mention of an aura pool which I’m pretty sure doesn’t have custom editions in anyway

[rugged dune]

thats good

works better for what ive got i think

[grand geode]

what idiot gives their challenge 7 starting hands and discards

[muted osprey]

Another testing version. Now, it's up to those jokers, consumables, and other items that can't simply be changed just by using G.P_CENTERS.

[muted osprey]

Example, in card.lua, there is this section about ceremonial dagger:

if self.ability.name == 'Ceremonial Dagger' and not context.blueprint then
     local my_pos = nil
     for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
        if G.jokers.cards[i] == self then my_pos = i; break end
     end
     if my_pos and G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1] and not self.getting_sliced and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].ability.eternal and not G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1].getting_sliced then 
        local sliced_card = G.jokers.cards[my_pos+1]
        sliced_card.getting_sliced = true
        G.GAME.joker_buffer = G.GAME.joker_buffer - 1
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({func = function()
           G.GAME.joker_buffer = 0
           self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + sliced_card.sell_cost*2
           self:juice_up(0.8, 0.8)
           sliced_card:start_dissolve({HEX("57ecab")}, nil, 1.6)
           play_sound('slice1', 0.96+math.random()*0.08)
        return true end }))
        card_eval_status_text(self, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = localize{type = 'variable', key = 'a_mult', vars = {self.ability.mult+2*sliced_card.sell_cost}}, colour = G.C.RED, no_juice = true})
      end
   end

I would like to change it to this:

if self.ability.name == 'Ceremonial Dagger' and not context.blueprint then

[royal heath]

question: If I had an idea for a mod and absolutely no knowledge on how to code it, could I make a thread on it?

[gilded tulip]

This is unironically one of the coolest things I've seen

Y'all are making me want to actually install mods

[gilded tulip]

No such thing as too much effort

[grand geode]

🥹

[river lark]

i may or may not have found the combo fire code >:)

[muted osprey]

How do I do this in a mod?

[grand geode]

use a lovely patch

[muted osprey]

lovely? I'm new to modding, how do I set up a lovely patch?

[grand geode]

do we not have a lovely tutorial

guh

make a file called lovely.toml in your mod's directory

[fallow bramble]

Scroll down to this and it tells you what a patch is https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

[grand geode]

eh a lot of that is unnecessary

[fallow bramble]

It shows the basics at least

[muted osprey]

The thing is, I don't just want to add another if statement for Ceremonial Dagger, I want to replace the existing one in card.lua. So how do I do that with lovely?

[fallow bramble]

What are you trying to do with Ceremonial Dagger exactly?

[grand geode]

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua" # the file you want to modify. if it's in a folder, also include the folder, ex. "fuctions/UI_definitions.lua"
pattern = "self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + sliced_card.sell_cost*2" # the line you want to change. changing multiple lines at once is a lot more complicated
position = "at" # before, after, or at
payload = "self.ability.mult = self.ability.mult + sliced_card.sell_cost*(2 + ((mult_level-1) * 1))" # the code you want to insert. you can do multiline by using """
match_indent = true

[muted osprey]

Ceremonial Dagger is the only +mult joker that requires separate treatment. But I have a lot of other jokers that require separate treatment.

Also, note that the variable mult_level is only defined in my mod file, and is not in the base game. Is that okay? Or will that raise an error?

[fallow bramble]

As long as mult_level is a global variable it should be good

[muted osprey]

Also, where is the text description for the cards set? I would like to change the description
When Blind is selected, destroy Joker to the right and permanently add double its sell value to this Mult
to
When Blind is selected, destroy Joker to the right and permanently add n times its sell value to this Mult
when n is mult_level + 1

[rugged dune]

is my steamodded outdate or smth

[west hill]

Yes

[rugged dune]

yeah i realised after struggling with adding poker hands for ages :(

my lovely isnt patching

nvm ik why

wrong fil

balatro players try not to necro dead threads challenge

[latent nimbus]

necromancy is in rn

[spark sorrel]

Wait this is fire wtf

[keen vector]

Hey does anyone know if it's possible to download ONLY the Custom Decks in the mod: 'Sylvie's Silliness' https://github.com/NewtTheFish/SylvieSilly without installing all the other content it includes?

[heady stratus]

anybody know what went wrong here

I'm just tweaking around with the Trance mod and I wanted to reload the game and suddenly got this error. Have no idea what it means

ok wtf

basically I made a palette lua file for the trance mod. decided I wanted to change the name but now if it doesn't have that lua file with that name the game won't load

how

[grand geode]

because it looks for the file with that exact name

[heady stratus]

but why if before I could just create and delete and rename those files

why now does it NEED that file to exist

does that mean I'm stuck with having this file named like this forever and I can't remove it??

I think I'll delete the mod altogether and redownload it

yeah that worked

[latent crescent]

lol i see wcca

does that really count

anyways i love shitposting

[lean dune]

smods file header component api?

[grand geode]

real

@latent nimbus hey ive just pushed the new challenges you should try them

[latent nimbus]

round 100

as someone who've had to witness like five eas alarms

the introduction to ||control|| was not cool

[grand geode]

that's how it is in the game so uh...

hm

[latent nimbus]

also is censored just not working?

not getting the chips

[grand geode]

yeah i noticed that h_chips was implemented by twewy and i changed it without testing

im bed now

[latent nimbus]

gn

meanwhile

[latent crescent]

jimball

[grand geode]

lmk if that needs to have lower values

[latent nimbus]

can't censor waluigi

[grand geode]

lmao

[latent nimbus]

probably should redo this without waluigi

[grand geode]

well you're using a cryptid joker no surprises there

and censored is inherently busted

[latent nimbus]

even when it part of it didn't even work

[tired roost]

I JUST FOUND A CRITICAL ERROR IN BALATRO!

THE JOKER ART IS BROKEN!

[opaque badge]

Ain't gotta yell at us, we didn't do it 😂

[tired roost]

the blue colar thing is non-simetrical

right side is 2 pixels shorter

[grand geode]

ok

[tired roost]

you can tell cause the difference between the depest white pixel and the outermost black is 1 on lefft and 2 on right

the black pompom is 1 pixel squished

this is what is should look like

[opaque badge]

I can almost guarantee you that was an intentional design choice

[torpid drum]

excuse me?

[brisk seal]

Yeah that’s the boss

Good luck

[latent crescent]

[tired roost]

i got 3 new joker ideas for my mod in a very short period of time

"Mirror Joker" [from the anti pack mod] (anti of brainstorm)
copies the ability of the rightmost joker

"Schematic" [from anti pack] (anti of Blueprint, bearly different at all, and practically identiac exept very few cases)
copies the ability of the joker to the right

"Stopwatch" [asylim pack, the pack of insane jokers]
when active, the ante doesn't progress, always comes as perishable

[true crater]

hey. when installing mods, shoul i usually add just the lua file? or the entire thing as a folder?

and what content mods do you recommend?

[torpid drum]

id say the whole thing

[lean dune]

usually the whole thing, most mods have assets and secondary files of some sort

[torpid drum]

i fw cruel blinds

its simple but it just adds more stakes & bosses

that and just some qol stuff such as morespeed, jokerdisplay, & galdur is all i got rn

[true crater]

im having trouble winning over blue stake with most decks so for now maybe ill take mods that buff me instead of the game lol

will get to these when im op enough

[swift matrix]

If you want more jokers and stuff to play with, there's quite a lot out there. I have over 700 in my game now

jokers I mean

[torpid drum]

thats not 4% thats double

LOL

[true crater]

got it

[torpid drum]

i will say the best way to win pretty much any run is to get a progressive mult joker, a chips joker, and 3 mult multers

[swift matrix]

The easiest thing for me to reccomend is of course mods I actually play with. It just so happens that I maintain a mod pack containing all of those

if you;re at all interested

[true crater]

if i have balatro updated in steam is it version 1.0 or 0.9.8?

[swift matrix]

at the very least the list of mods is the oens I reccmomend

[true crater]

that sounds awesome

[swift matrix]

1.0 and 0.98 are steamodded versions, not game versions

[torpid drum]

WHAT

[swift matrix]

https://github.com/GayCoonie/Coonies-Mod-Pack

It includes steamodded too, all you need to do is install lovely if you haven;t

[true crater]

hm. i might be undervaluing chips. i mean i got moderly good, i beat gold stake on checkers and on around blue with most of the other. maybe i feel like i suck bc i played a lot of black deck lately

[true crater]

oh. so how do it check it version?

[swift matrix]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

What you do with lovely, is you take the version.dll file from the release zip, and place it in the folder with the balatro exe

[tired roost]

what you think of the innital concept for the art of mirror joker

?

like a barbie pocket mirror

[swift matrix]

steamodded is something you need to download, so you don't have it unless you already have been playing mods

and the version is printed in the top right of the screen if you do have it

[true crater]

i installed it today according to this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY2LnRYWm5Y

[brisk seal]

4% PER TIME POKER HAND PLAYED

[opaque badge]

That video is 3 months old it might not be updated for 1.0.0

[true crater]

yea i just checked it looks like 0.98

[true crater]

ill try to follow this then

[swift matrix]

pretty old tutorial, just reverify your game files and download steamodded from the repo, or just download my back to get the newest

[opaque badge]

I would follow the instructions in the Steamodded wiki

[swift matrix]

well if they do want to use my mod pack, it includes the latest steamodded

so they'd just need lovely

[opaque badge]

Oh sorry, just popped in here. May have missed some context

[swift matrix]

no worries

[tired roost]

another idea for a joker:
"Color Mix" [anti pack mod] (anti of smidge)
hearts and spades count as one color
diamonds and clubs count as one color

alt name "colorblind"

hehe
"colorblind"
the joke is that you cant see color here

[lean dune]

oh look

[tired roost]

this is better

now that i think about it, not a bad joker design

"colorless joker"

"translucent joker"

[opaque badge]

Not gonna lie, if it's a cutout it looks too much like Joker Stencil imo

[opaque badge]

Wow, that's actually incredible

[tired roost]

im sayng that a joker design where he has that transparency gridd and not a hole

[true crater]

it wouldnt let me keep the unsafe downloads, even with edge

[swift matrix]

firefox

easiest answer

[true crater]

[opaque badge]

Go to Windows Defender and add an exception to your folder where you download it

Assuming that's the issue

[swift matrix]

lovely is apperently a total pain in the ass on windows, lucky I use linux :P

[swift matrix]

I think chromium browsers also like blocking it

so might be both

[true crater]

is it not the defualt way to install mods?

[tired roost]

another joker idea:
"remember that joker" [asylium pack, pack of insane jokers]
when sold turns into the fist joker bought this round

[true crater]

i want to first get on with it bc im trying to get it started for a while

[swift matrix]

you need lovely, it's just that windows hates it

[opaque badge]

Windows thinks it's a Trojan cause it injects code into Balatro.exe

[swift matrix]

but it does work, just need to use the workarounds

[opaque badge]

But it doesn't do anything harmful

[true crater]

is lovely different from steammodded?

[opaque badge]

Yeah

[swift matrix]

lovely basically loads steamodded

so you need both

[brisk seal]

What if that joker is the first bought.

[true crater]

okay

[true crater]

okay i have the version.dll of lovely in my folder. anything else before this?

[swift matrix]

is it in the Balatro steam common folder, where Balatro.exe is?

[true crater]

yea
