[wild thunder]

no that's double chicot

[tired roost]

you cant copy this line in it's entirety on windows (including the space at the end):
QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm
it will alwyas come out as
QWERTYUIOPASDFGrEEhyJMEYsBvL7GxrzerNa5iqwQx5Pvnm

learned it the hard way when programing a font to my game

[next bronze]

what's the astronomer looking card do

[tired roost]

its the anti version of Cartomancer.
random planet every round
the one to the right of it is the anti of Astromancer
all tarrot is free

[next bronze]

all tarot is free..

that's ridiculous

[tired roost]

my mod is not to be balanced but to be fun

[toxic walrus]

QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm

?

[tired roost]

all at once

[haughty hinge]

sounds like you'll love cryptid lol

[tired roost]

without the ``

[toxic walrus]

QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNMqwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm

[tired roost]

it's overdone

and half the art is shit

i borderline hate it

[haughty hinge]

now that's interesting

i think you're the first person to hate it that much or at least voice out said hatred

[tired roost]

mine is not "hoho, funny no balancing, ungly waluigi" mine is "huh. thats a cool idea, imma make actualy effortful art for this and make it a mod later"

Fridge, Gambit, and Lucky 7 (last 3 standing upright)
were all done the same day at almost at once, and you can see how iadvanced in techique (these are not chronologicaly ordered)

my proudest is still Monolyth, bet you can spot which one it is

[dusk geyser]

hey so my mods aren't loading and i can't seem to figure out why

[azure dagger]

Check your Windows Defender Protection History

It will nuke the version.dll file and smile while doing so.

[exotic shadow]

see https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#about-anti-virus-issues

[vapid shale]

so im trying to get cryptid but when i downloaded lovely it immediately stopped the download saying virus detected, i do not trust that

[exotic shadow]

see https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#about-anti-virus-issues

it's a false positve

[stark yacht]

defender 🤝 killing anything that looks remotely like DLL injection

[exotic shadow]

I mean it is DLL injection

[stark yacht]

which is fair that defender isn't a fan, game modding is like the one non-malicious use case :)

[nocturne lava]

Hey, any chance you found this?

[analog nova]

is it possible to mod balatro for the mac or is it just not possible

[exotic shadow]

lovely works on mac

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#mac

[round ore]

is there a place where i can see what mods get upfated?

[analog nova]

is that a mod

or like a gateway to accessing the mods

[exotic shadow]

it's used to inject mods

steamodded which is mod loader uses it

[analog nova]

so it allows me to download mods easily?

[exotic shadow]

no most mod's use steamodded to add stuff

[analog nova]

hm

the injection of mods

i don't understand clearly.

[exotic shadow]

injecting of mods is when mods put their code into the games

[analog nova]

so can you reverse the injection

[exotic shadow]

the injection happens only when the game is run with lovely. If you remove lovley, then theres no injection

[analog nova]

so it reverses the mod injection

[exotic shadow]

sure

[analog nova]

so i can just download mods

simple enough

[analog nova]

so what's an ideal mod to pick up to spice up the game without making it too broken

i want to make it slightly easier

but not insanely broken

[exotic shadow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think https://canary.discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1255696773599592458 has an option for just some small changes

[candid sable]

Nah my packs are either just qol or insanely modified

[swift matrix]

Hmm... my pack has a lot of mods, but still might fit your qualifications. It's a lot of extra content, but nothing by itself is overly broken

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1267720426109272135

And if you're more looking for single mods something in the list may appeal to you

[analog nova]

mac modding is way harder i think

[brisk seal]

says who?

[analog nova]

says me

macs are always a nusciance

[brisk seal]

do u mod on mac?

[rotund whale]

can gamblers tag appear in ante 1 in dev patch of cryptid

[swift matrix]

From what I understand it's exactly the same process as on Windows /Linux (Proton), just the location of the files is different and you use a different file for Lovely

[analog nova]

hmm.

well i just want to make my gameplay a little better

but also to complete balatro's 100%

[swift matrix]

anyone know what this crash is? Happened when I lost. The loss registered so I can't continue the run to screenshot

here's a screenshot from earlier in the run that shows the jokers I had though (the 2 already there and the one I'm mousing over)

[novel wave]

seems like something related to the stake update (which is still wip)

[novel wave]

mods that do anything stake-related might break cus of this

[swift matrix]

I notice both my deck (Sandbox Deck from SDM_)'s Stuff) and Taikomochi (zen mode mod) are listed early in the crash log as having something to do with the failed call, do you think it could have been either of them? Note that I'm playing on white stake and not actually using zen mode atm

[novel wave]

can you check lovely/dump/functions/misc_functions.lua line 1300?

wait im stupid

it would be somewhere else, hooked

or not after all?

basically the new smods update patches the function

among other things

[swift matrix]

uh... it does have the stake_by_index thing though

[novel wave]

strange

is it reproducable?

[swift matrix]

oh... it seems to happen whenever I lose

except for the first time (aince I updated) though, which is weird, maybe it doesn't happen in endless for some bizzare reason

[novel wave]

does it happen on a fresh profile?

[novel wave]

looking at the code it seems like it happens specifically when the game is trying to update the loss counter when it already exists

i.e. it only happens if you lose more than once

oh i think i see whats going on

[swift matrix]

yes, and on vanillia decks

[swift matrix]

meant to reply here

[novel wave]

i think its trying to update smods' custom key-based loss counter, but fails to do so because the said counter doesnt exist yet

[swift matrix]

so, is it an smods bug, or does a specific mod cause it?

[novel wave]

atm it seems like specifically a smods bug yeah

wait

i see

[novel wave]

the function being called doesnt exist

its supposed to be stake_from_index

[swift matrix]

yes, that much I understood, but what's calling it?

[swift matrix]

didn't know that ofc, just that it seems to be calling a nonexitent function

[west hill]

Huh must have missed that one

[verbal laurel]

Trying to mod my game and now the game just does this when i open, anyone know how to get it working? I installed steammodded, lovely, and cryptid

[candid sable]

verify game file integrity

[verbal laurel]

ty 🙏

[marsh gulch]

Hey where do I go if I need help to install steammodded and lovely?

[lean dune]

right here, actually

[marsh gulch]

haha sorry i literally looked right above my message and was able to fix my problem

nvm i made my problems worse please help

double nvm it was just a broken mod

[lean dune]

okay i'll just wait for the triple turnaround

[marsh gulch]

it will be here soon

[marsh gulch]

I found the stuckness

i am trying to install the mod Brainstorm but it is not appearing on the list of mods even though it is in the mod folder

[lean dune]

brainstorm is in fact not a steamodded mod, it only uses lovely

check the game settings

[marsh gulch]

YOUR BRAIN IS LIKE GIGANTIC MAN

i feel so dumb

thank you

[keen vector]

I wonder if its possible to code a Joker to have a 1 in 2 chance to give you a card on booster pack open, kinda like hallucination, but it selects from a specific list of Tarot and Spectral cards instead of being random

[lean dune]

nothing is impossible here

[keen vector]

I would want it to hit either Wheel of Fortune or Aura only.

[lean dune]

other than comparing numbers to tables

[swift matrix]

jokers can pretty much execute arbitrary code from what I can tell, lol

[keen vector]

I looked at the code int the games files for Hallucination and it honestly doesnt help me understand how to build this Joker, ill figure it out

[novel wave]

is it arbitrary code execution if its not a result of communication but rather a result of code being code

[keen vector]

Ive also only coded two very basic mult/chip jokers so i just need more experience

[swift matrix]

sounds like a philisophical question, lol

though... probably not tbh. It's not like an exploit or anything, the joker system seems to be designed to be maximally flexible, for probably obvious reasons

Though calling anything in this game a coherent 'system' is stretching it a bit

[keen vector]

Why is this blue? I thought negative chad was red

[novel wave]

negative shader doesnt reverse the hue

afaik

[fervent owl]

always was blue

[latent crescent]

What this shader do then?

[grand geode]

i guess i'll attempt a balanced version of cryptid

(higher requirement than Loyalty Card, but higher average payoff, still shit)

[wild thunder]

cryptid is already balanced
like to get an exotic joker you have to:

1. Get a spectral pack
2. Find Gateway
3. Sacrifice all your jokers

[lean dune]

or

1. play on wormhole deck

[grand geode]

or

1. play on doe/antimatter

[fallow bramble]

1. Install DebugPlus

[novel wave]

tbh it seems more like old yorick than loyalty card

if it doesnt reset

[grand geode]

i honestly haven't checked whether it resets

because i hated that card so much

oops it doesn't reset

hitting it with a bonk

[keen vector]

I specifically remember it being red on my Xbox version though. I found old screenshots on my xbox of other negatives, do these ones look right?

[west hill]

no these don't look right

[grand geode]

i guess console has a different negative shader?

[keen vector]

Four Fingers looks sick tho doesn't it

[grand geode]

this one is closer to an invert

[west hill]

four fingers is half the same

I don't know why it's split like that

[keen vector]

Xbox one looks so niceee

[grand geode]

bonking this to either X3.5 or X4, because it's uncommon so it doesn't feel shit to get unlike old Yorick

if 114 hands was a joke then i don't care

[fallow bramble]

Rigged evolved space joker my beloved

[swift matrix]

This just reminds me how easy it is for Astronaut to be a downgrade to Space

because if you have a build where you play a lot of junk hands... well things might not be ideal

Like... imagine having Dusk

Thankfully Dawn exists instead :P

[fallow bramble]

Either that, or you already got a most played poker hand so you can abuse trash hand to level it up futher, especially if you got stuff like Rigged or Oops All 6s

[swift matrix]

true

[keen vector]

Theres all the negatives i had screenshots of on xbox

[swift matrix]

yeah, definitely seems to use a different shader

[keen vector]

Some of them are so dark you have to hover over the card to tell what they are.

[toxic walrus]

Yes, console shader is different to pc

[grand geode]

Happy House: Reworked. X4 Mult only after playing 14 hands
Pot of Jokes: Capped at +4 hand size, cost $10 > $9
Weebonacci: +Mult 3 > 2
The WHIP: +XMult 0.5 > 0.25
Triplet Rhythm: Common > Uncommon
Chili Pepper: Self destructs at above X4 Mult instead of after 8 rounds
Compound Interest: No longer scales, cost $10 > $9
Big Cube: XChips 6 > 4
Nice: +Chips 420 > 200, was going to make it 289.8 (42 * 6.9) but that's still a better Stuntman

Fidget Spinner: +Chips 14 > 6
Waluigi: XMult 2.5 > 2

Monkey Dagger: +Chips 10x > 5x
Pirate Dagger: XChips 1/4th > 1/10th (one-fourth??? even though XChips and XMult are almost the same...)

i don't know what i'm doing

[latent nimbus]

cryptid but balanced?

[wanton rapids]

Death

[grand geode]

XIII - Death

[lean dune]

XIII - m

[latent nimbus]

XIV - n

[thick nova]

wow cool looking jokers

[white scarab]

I don’t think anyone has ever purchased seal the deal

[latent nimbus]

it kinda... sucks?

honestly could be buffed to "all scored cards geta random seal"

[timid nexus]

some weird hue shift that involves subtracting the hue from a number and adding 360 if its negative and then inverting the luminace i think

[wooden forum]

True tbh

Not broken at all buff it

Make it so all The cards in The hand gets every effect like astral and such Then self destructs

[tired roost]

sometimes when manualy writing Pixelart text i zone out and repeat the sequence twice when a word has a ABA setup. like "Whenever" has ene and i accidentlay did this

[stoic oar]

this is indeed a horrible week for my modded balatro experience. too many mods are cramming too many new and breaking stuff into the game and everything feels bugged

[lethal shale]

i mean the thing everyone uses to put their mods onto is basically glue made in like a week after release so... expect the unexpected

[fervent owl]

won't look at it like that tbh

as far as I know, modding already existed during the demo privately, and steamodded received tons of updates

[lethal shale]

ahhh no wonder the program was made so fast

[fervent owl]

conflicts between mods will always be a thing

[lethal shale]

oh of course that's why modpacks exist

[candid sable]

0.0

I can feel the pressure very heavily lately too

[rancid ivy]

How do you update steammodded to 1.0.0?

[fervent owl]

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

[tired roost]

does any joker have the "&" symbol in the name or description?

i need to know how it looks in the balatro font

had to scalp the font direcly from the game cause nothing in the game uses it

so here you go if you want it too

[gilded vortex]

I mean you could just look for the font name online

[tired roost]

well, i have it now anyways

and it wasnt hard

just winrar the exe and thats it

[white scarab]

m6x11.ttf

[toxic walrus]

yeah i mean balatro fonts are literally just ttf files inside of the game files.

[granite charm]

👀

[shy ibex]

Could Thunk possibly add in a way to combine multiples of the same effect in-game into one?
Example: 50 Investment Tags trigger all at once and give $1250 in one go instead of each one triggering one-by-one which could lead to the game freezing a bunch.

[nocturne lava]

I think that'd be on modders to do, not Thunk.

[shy ibex]

It'd be really frickin' helpful.

[fiery kayak]

For a very niche section of his audience yes

[zealous wave]

niche section and wouldnt be noticed too much

[jolly bane]

I just unlocked the final stake in cryptid last night on equilibrium deck. It's the first one I've gotten to that point. It's been a chore to get to this point. Any tips to potentially make it easier that I maybe haven't thought of yet or something?

[latent nimbus]

get money and pray

[lucid crypt]

So for some reason my game is booting up in vanilla when i have steammodded installed

[jolly bane]

well the last update made that a little easier at least, now that temperance works again

whatever stake that makes all items have no sell value

my strat for these last few super tough stakes has pretty often been reset for gambler tag on the first blind and pray for the 1 in 4

[gilded vortex]

Is version.dll where it is supposed to be

[lucid crypt]

wdym?

[gilded vortex]

I mean what I asked

Confer the lovely install instructions

[lucid crypt]

i put the version.dll there, now my game doesnt start at all

nevermind it did, still vanilla though

[lean dune]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#about-anti-virus-issues

[tired roost]

im working on Joker descriptions, and i dont know how to phrase that whenever a new card scores for the first time, it simulates all time events for all jokers (beginning of round, first hand, last hand, end of round, When blind is selected, first scoring card, boss is defeted)

so that Jokers like Certificate, Dusk, Acrobat, Gift, Egg, Golden, Burnt, Trading Card, Ancient, Bean, Banana, Ice Cream, Popcorn, Seance, DNA, To Do List, Perishibles, and any other i forgot

[nocturne lava]

"On scoring a card that hasn't been scored before, immediately trigger effects of all jokers, regardless of conditions", maybe?

Actually, wouldn't work, since it'd imply things like suit mult jokers would give mult with other suits.

[tired roost]

yeah, the word trigger doesent fit

[nocturne lava]

Maybe "immediately trigger all jokers, regardless of context", but I don't know if that only makes sense because of how we use context.whatever in code.

[haughty hinge]



[tired roost]

"Advance all jokers with changing stats"

[nocturne lava]

What about things like Perkeo?

[tired roost]

are you complaining?

[nocturne lava]

No, trying to help find a description that encompasses everything it affects, since Perkeo doesn't have changing stats, but I would assume still gets affected.

[tired roost]

if anyone it's Canio and Yorick

the Joker is named DeJa-ker, as a reference to Deja-Vu, so it's meant to like retrigger things that be happenin

[tired roost]

ok, i have the description of the Jokers i made so far, there will be more

some mistakes and overlooks

but this isnt for you anyways

[gilded vortex]

Last hand isn't really a context. I'd also argue first hand isn't time-based if playing a hand isn't

I don't think there's a difference between beginning the round and selecting a blind

First scoring card also doesn't seem time-based to me

Defeating a boss… I don't think it's time based either

[tired roost]

well, in a game with no time it's an arbitrary description

[tired roost]

but the final wording is better

[gilded vortex]

It really isn't

[tired roost]

as i said, mistakes happened and im fixing it

[tired roost]

it encompases everything i meant

[fiery kayak]

Yee just funny

[tired roost]

it describes exactly what i wanted

[gilded vortex]

I mean it's too vague so it doesn't describe anything

[tired roost]

time based was the bad description

[tired roost]

any joker, that can change effect/change if the effect applies, changes as it would, per card scoring

[gilded vortex]

You can't really detect that robustly via code alone

Also you listed Grös Michel which doesn't really change

Acrobat doesn't change either

Neither does Dusk

Actually Certificate itself doesn't change too

[tired roost]

ok, i think ifixed all

[tired roost]

that was back when i listed the time events, and bananas roll on end of round

[tired roost]

it first does nothing, and then on last odes X3, also this was back when time events were are play

[tired roost]

same as acrobat

[tired roost]

it gives card at the time of starting blind

it changed

[gilded vortex]

But it doesn't change stats

[tired roost]

the target changed

the target changed from
"time specific" to "stat change"

causse it meant most of what i was talking about and few more

[gilded vortex]

I just don't think you can just trigger Jokers that change internal values without having side effects or missing some of them

Unless you hardcode them

[tired roost]

yeah, that was pretty expected to be the result

i dont realy care for other mods

[gilded vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-what-insomnia-no-sleep-gif-13337078

[tired roost]

what?

what about not caring for other mods is so shocking?

[gilded vortex]

It's a GIF of Jerry squinting

I don't really think he's shocked

[tired roost]

no way, relay

i would have never thinkn oi fthat

[tired roost]

thats what i seen it be used as

[tired roost]

2 more ideas:
Spectromancer: free spectral every round
Spectrology: all spectral is free

[tired roost]

fuck, named both Astrology

ok, renamed

[latent nimbus]

...isn't rotater joker just a better chicot?

[fiery kayak]

Assuming we understand what inverted means yes

But he might mean something more specific with inverted

[gilded vortex]

No I think they meant what you think it means

[exotic shadow]

All cards are debuffed except debuffed cards

[grand geode]

lobotomy? like the

like the

[timid nexus]

and monochrone is a better smeared

[grand geode]

idk why people are obsessed with halving odds

[gilded vortex]

Monochrome could just say each card has every suit

[grand geode]

especially when it's only useful for glass cards and the wheel in base game

[gilded vortex]

To be fair people could add more probability halving synergy

[empty igloo]

Sorry to bother you guys but I recently installed Balatro 95 and I got this

Any way I can fix this

[grand geode]

they said they didn't care about modding

other mods*

[fiery kayak]

Half odds is specifically just helpful for glass and that one facedown boss in vanilla

And Cavendish?

We'll include that

OA6s doesn't have very much synergy either tbf

[gilded vortex]

They're modding

so their own mod can do it

[fiery kayak]

but lucky cards and the wheel are both pretty consistent to get and roll

[fiery kayak]

True but none of their jokers do far actually have odds

[gilded vortex]

Also I think making Glass cards not break is boring

I think Glass card synergy should encourage breaking them

[fiery kayak]

I think both avenues should be doable

[sterile hornet]

B A L
i ahve no idea whats happening

[grand geode]

that's what i said!

cavvy like never breaks anyway

[fiery kayak]

I agree it's boring to do unbreakable glass but it's still like, nice to have as an option for the player

[empty igloo]

Here’s what I got when I originally got it working

[sterile hornet]

can you check if the assets are there in the folder

[empty igloo]

Yeah they are

I verified the files

[ancient ravine]

I'm having trouble loading mods

[mild vector]

I've read that Steamodded disables achievements, unless using a mod to re-enable them. Are stats also disabled (e.g. getting a new Best Hand)?

oh and unlocks as well?

[latent nimbus]

it only disables achievements

[mild vector]

gotcha, do you know if there's a mod that does disable them?

[latent nimbus]

talisman disables best hand to avoid any compatability issues

otherwise you'd have cases where your best hand was like ee600

and vanilla doesnt like that and it could bork your savefile

[exotic shadow]

You might want to just use another profile for modded stuff

[mild vector]

that's a good idea, thanks!

[topaz vault]

Hello team I just installed lovely injector for the first time and am not getting any change on the game itself.

Consol shows up and I have %AppData%/Balatro/Mods, but the game itself seems to remain unchanged

Any tips?

I got it to work oops

[white scarab]

new modded personal best

[twilit smelt]

just tried installing bunco

could i get some help with this

[manic jasper]

What does the x->y->z notation mean?

[candid sable]

Your smods are too old

[twilit smelt]

thanks

[white scarab]

it's just 10{1,000,000}10, or 10^^^^....^^^^^10 with 1,000,000 arrows

i used a different notation because the game doesn't like putting a { or a # in there

[thorny kraken]

playing some balatro, just how i remember it

[brisk seal]

stat 3

what's it called?

[thorny kraken]

i dont know honestly. i just called it mult 2

my original idea was (chips x mult) ^ pow but this was funnier

you also get this guy

[grand geode]

zamn'

[restive sparrow]

Balanced

[thorny kraken]

when nothing is balanced, everything is

[brisk seal]

Cryptid begs to differ

[grand geode]

the balanced cryptid i'm making:

tempted to just leave it at misc jokers because i don't play with anything else

[swift matrix]

I know that the balanced cryptid idea has had other supporters recently. Did nobody else want to take it on/ help?

In any case it's a very cool idea that I've been hoping who's happen for quite a while

[grand geode]

nvm i also did misc. because i also play with that

# Misc
Mosaic: XChips 2.5 > 2
Oversaturated: Weight 3 > 1.5
Glitched: Weight 15 > 5, misprint X0.1-X10 > X0.75-X2
Astral: Removed
Azure Seal: Planets 3 > 2
Cat Tag, Epic Tag, Empowered Tag, Gambler Tag, Bundle Tag: Removed

[exotic shadow]

Lovlet doesn't modify the game itself, you have to install something that uses it, like steamodded.

[blissful nebula]

Probably gonna start once my pr (unrelated) gets merged in

[zenith arch]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or not, but is there a mod that puts you immediately after round 1 ante 1 into the shop with $7 so you don't have to do the song and dance of holding R until you beat the first small blind and can immediately make a meaningful decision?

(I guess more than $7 if you're using green or gold deck, less if you're using black)

[candid sable]

I don't think so

[fiery kayak]

Damn how much pow do you get per planet card?

[fervent owl]

2 planets for azure is kinda meh

[sturdy canyon]

if i do an infinite amount of hands will i win

maybe that was a little too much

[shy ibex]

Quick question: what would happen if you set a Canvas joker from the Cryptid mod and a Tarlton joker from the Jelly mod next to each other?

Both situations are on the table.

Bring other Jokers into that situation as well.

[lean dune]

nothing because you don't expect JellyMod to work on smods 1.0

it can't even hold its own weight in 0.9.8

[tired roost]

The Head now makes only Hearts playable.
Wall is super low
and when background is yellow you can only play 1 card
ect.

also i fucked upp, it's "Rotated Joker" not rotater

[tired roost]

also, i need more magic/criptic names so that they are named like how the Spectral cards are named

i have "Blessing" in mind for one of them

but idk which one of them untill i know what to name the other

"Vision" isnt bad

"Spell" is also not bad

not "Curse" case it implies something bad

"Saint" is alright

it also works better cause it's a person word, and it's a joker

[golden tree]

hello everyone I have a problem modding balatro with the cryptid mod.
I installed lovely and put version.dll
in the file
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Balatro
then I put cryptid, talisman and steammoded in the mod folder
C:\Users\mathi\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods\lovely
but when I run balatro it is normal can someone help me

i just found the problem by looking at what might help find the problem xddd

[tired roost]

Blessing
all spectrals are free

[keen vector]

Sick

[sturdy canyon]

primal joker should have 0$ sell value

would literally be infinite money

[tired roost]

no, for the simple reason i want it to be reare but possible to get him first, anabling the best run of the game

im devided on the other one

idk if i should call it Summoner or Homunculus

the joker is to give a specrtal every round. So Summoner makes sense.
but also Homunculus classicly refered to a mound of flesh and bone animated by magic, basicaly flesh golem, and that also kinda fits

and Homunculus sounds way more cryptic

[grand geode]

why is it a gt video of doors 😭

[tired roost]

thats where i remeber learning about it

hmm, asllso could call it VooDoo

or Dream Catcher

hmmm.... Dream Catcher is a better name for a Spectral that upgrades most played hand by 5

[tropic ledge]

I know this probably gets askes a hundered times a day but are there any resources for learning how to create mods. would be nice to try my hand at creating some stuff

[gilded vortex]

There’s the Steamodded wiki

Some one Joker mods exist

[tropic ledge]

do you have a link for that?

ignore that i just found it thanks

[tired roost]

Dream is also a good name for the Spectral giver Joker

[grand geode]

i like this one

[tired roost]

can mods add new card packs?

like, fully custom new pack of only new cards

[grand geode]

yes

[candid sable]

What cannot be added

[grand geode]

the entirety of gta5

[tired roost]

The glory of Deltarune

[tired roost]

interesting concept

[formal wedge]

for everyone loves Wild Cards

[lean dune]

actual wild card synergy?

[grand geode]

also works with betmma vouchers

[grand geode]

what does the zzz mean

[formal wedge]

that's just what i have as the display name for the mod

[grand geode]

zzzzzz

[formal wedge]

snork mimimi

[grand geode]

the eeper

[tired roost]

At the begining of each round give a spectral card

[grand geode]

the eeper 2

[tired roost]

side by side both Spectromancers

[formal wedge]

i think this is a sign that i should be going to sleep as well

look how happy that card is to be asleep

[grand geode]

honk miimimimi

[fiery kayak]

This looks hard to take advantage of

[grand geode]

because it is

[fiery kayak]

Thanks

[formal wedge]

since polychrome playing cards have a low chance of appearing in the vanilla game, i set the requirements to be pretty steep here

i could tweak it so that it's less of a hassle

[wanton rapids]

honestly could be uncommon

since the effect is so unwieldy

actually it's not that bad

[fiery kayak]

It's not that bad but as a rare specifically it's like, come on man

[wanton rapids]

the wild joker text is a nice touch

[fiery kayak]

Uncommon feels reasonable

[gilded vortex]

This seems like impossible

[tired roost]

with context

[tired roost]

this has opened my eyes.
next thing added to the mod that now is officially called "Expansion Pack" will be the "Terror Pack", pack of tarot-like cards, but themed arround the scary and uncanny

[formal wedge]

modified

it can now apply to full houses and fives of a kind as well and anything with splash

[toxic walrus]

this is one of the problems i have with content mods -- the descriptions are always so long 😭

[formal wedge]

i listed out the four suits to keep the description similar to Flower Pot but i could remove them and make the description shorter than Obelisk 😭

[toxic walrus]

😭 💀

[lean dune]

me when the card becomes useless if custom suits exist

[white scarab]

I’ve tried to keep it short with Cryptid but there are some bad ones

Where there’s like arbitrary restrictions on jokers’ power

[toxic walrus]

imo writing concise descriptions for jokers and stuff is pretty hard

esp when there's custom mechanics etc

[fiery kayak]

It's an art form for sure

[lean dune]

If poker hand contains one
Wild Card and a non-Wild
Heart, Diamond, Club and
Spade card, apply Polychrome to the
Wild Card when scored

still pretty bad

[white scarab]

there was one day where localthunk spent several hours discussing with the discord about joker wording

[fiery kayak]

What does flower pot say?

What's the wording on flower pot

[white scarab]

Apply Polychrome to a scored Wild Card if played/scored hand contains a non-Wild Heart, Diamond, Club, and Spade card

[toxic walrus]

why not just have suit, and then a little box on the side saying what the suits that count are?

[lean dune]

Apply Polychrome to a scored
Wild Card if played hand contains
four scoring non-Wild cards
of different suits

this one accounts for modded suits

[formal wedge]

nice

however i forgot that modded suits exist and i must first change it so that it works with modded jokers

[gilded vortex]

Solution: rework the Joker to use fewer words

Also I’m trying to rework this since granting a card multiple ranks doesn’t work in vanilla

Chimera
If played hand has three or fewer cards, each scoring card has every rank and suit

I’m thinking about making it “has every rank and is a Face card” but I’m not too pleased

What do you think?

[fiery kayak]

is counted as/counts as would maybe feel better?

[lean dune]

interesting way to get around multirank straights evaluation

[gilded vortex]

Nope

[gilded vortex]

Did you read what I wrote 😭

Is there multirank functionality in Steamodded?

[gilded vortex]

I think “counts as” is an example of bad wording that’s excessively common. People keep using “count” when creating fan ideas for effects in different games and I don’t know if I’ve seen a good example of it

IIRC Pardic Firecats used it but it’s probably not good. There was another MTG card which used “count” but as a verb, not as “count as”, so it’s not what I’m talking about

Is version.dll where it’s supposed to be

[lean dune]

Nope that's the wrong place

[gilded vortex]

Wrong place

[gilded vortex]

@lean dune

[lean dune]

You can navigate to the game's directory by right-clicking the game in Steam, hovering "Manage", and selecting "Browse local files".

[lean dune]

no

[jolly bane]

man finding a rental crustulum shop 1 is literally a guaranteed win lol

[gilded vortex]

My other alternative was making the cards have the same rank, but I don’t want to make 3OAK free like that

[spark moth]

Simply deleting all my mods lets me get achievements again right

I never actually got them working they've just been sitting in my balatro folder and I've not cared because of C++ lol

[nocturne lava]

Should be fine if Steamodded is one of those mods you delete, but, you can download the achievement enabler if you don't want to give up QoL mods.

[spark moth]

Alright

[nocturne lava]

You could also probably just delete lovely.dll, and I think it just won't load steamodded or anything into the game for the same effect while keeping the mods in case you want to go back.

[spark moth]

I might try to get them working one of these days but for now I'm grinding

[tidal crescent]

hey guys - can anyone link me any balanced mods that dont break the game - new jokers etc?

[tired roost]

idk how but it swayed to be themed as old game cartridges

each of 18 having a different pin burnt, and the 2 special ones (no pins, and all pins)

[jolly bane]

my first ascendant stake, good god are these stakes brutal

[polar schooner]

wormhole, DoE and Antimatter are probably the only three decks where ascendant is even reasonable

MAYBE Negative, xMult, Mosaic and Astral too

[jolly bane]

items in shop being face down might be my most hated effect, i really wish that could be something different.

[polar schooner]

It wouldn't be that bad if it still showed what stickers it had on it

[jolly bane]

I know fairness isn't exactly cryptid's M.O. but maybe some of these effects could be revisited on account of being kind of un-fun.

[gilded vortex]

I think Bunco and I imagine TWEWJ

Not sure on the latter

[hardy roost]

God I love Cryptid

(The game crashed when trying to play a hand after this :P)

[tidal crescent]

is this right guys? or do i put it in the number of my save?

[nocturne lava]

I'd suggest maybe looking at https://github.com/GayCoonie/Coonies-Mod-Pack and https://github.com/Dimserene/Fine-tuned-Pack, but I will say they are overall more powerful than vanilla. They aren't completely unbalanced though, and if you'd like, you could install one, look through the collection, and if any jokers seem too powerful for your taste, just disable the mod it belongs to.

[tidal crescent]

oh god what is this

[swift pawn]

If you're looking for balanced and non intrusive content mods, I humbly submit to you my KCVanilla mod

Also I recently learned "KC vanilla" is the name of an actual vanilla company. Awkward!

[tidal crescent]

let me work out how to even get the mods working and then ill give it a go

ahhh ok got one of the mods working but the BUNCO one is broke for me

[tired roost]

give me more scary stuff to fill the list

[fiery kayak]

is Grimm meant to be like a fear of death?

[gilded vortex]

I’d maybe name them phobias

[tidal crescent]

Darkness, fearsome, terror, coffin, scream, raven, demonic

[gilded vortex]

Also answering the question:

Holes

Crowds

Open spaces

Ocean

[tired roost]

Phobia Packs of Terrors Cards

[tired roost]

thats Pit

[gilded vortex]

Not that kind of hole

[nocturne lava]

Are you thinking of trypophobia?

[gilded vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/over-the-garden-wall-otgw-ghost-gif-10881066

I know what trypophobia is

And yes

That’s what the refrance

[tired roost]

oohhh

well, the Terrors arent necesarly meant to be specified fears.
The Rott can be scary for many reasons.
so can The Missplaced, and The Lost

but this did give me idea of The Flesh

[lean dune]

bro ignored all warnings saying steamodded 0.9.8 is outdated

[tidal crescent]

ooops - ill try again later - was kind of doing work aswell as trying to mod - didnt even see the warning

[tired roost]

I KNOW WHAT TO AD!!

"The Hat Man"

[gilded vortex]

“Call 0800 0303 to buy your very own Hat Man!”

[tired roost]

this a joke or are you unfamiliar with the Hat Man

?

the shadow figure seen in crowds and in shadows at night

[gilded vortex]

I have no idea who the Hat Man is but you said you wanted to ad(vertise) them

[grand geode]

fear of managing a facility for 50 days straight

[tired roost]

Hat Man, a ghostly dark figure, only desirable part of the colorless black silluette is the outline of it's hat.
only seen by those who are being punished, for whatever unholy missdeed they commited.

[grand geode]

/j obvs

[tired roost]

stories of it have little continuity

but the visual description and that only one can see it stays in all of them

[tired roost]

the burden

how didnt i think of it before.
"The Smile"
it's a god damn Balatro mod, obviously there will be The Smile

ok, one spot remaining, last scratched pit. throw whatever you have, lets see what sticks

The Unseen

[grand geode]

the wall of text

[tired roost]

not enough eldritch horror i been looking for

[jolly bane]

feddy fabear

lmao

[tired roost]

already have The Trap so it's kinda fulfiled

[jolly bane]

no but now i'm just imagining a joker that while you have it just plays the toreador march on loop

[tired roost]

oh, nonono. this no jokers, new consumables

[jolly bane]

I know. unrelated

[tired roost]

The Dark

i dont have that

THE GOD

The False

(in terms of like, Bodysnatchers, and Skinwalkers)

The Impossible

(i do like me Impossible horror)

[jolly bane]

what would embody like The Twilight Zone?

[tired roost]

(combine that with eldritch body horror, and you have my fav horror you can make)

[tired roost]

The Dark, after all, Twilight is the word for when it's so dark you cant see anything but the dimm light of the sky, but no detail of the land

the last part before Night

[jolly bane]

I loved watching the original show so it came to mind. Not outright horror, just unnerving.

[tired roost]

i never seen the show

unless im mistaking it, all i can think of when i hear of this, is the weird teenage romanse with monsters, and im not into this bs

this show tainted the meaning of the word

[jolly bane]

No, not Twilight.

Not at all related.

[tired roost]

well, very close name

before that, it was a word for a very scary and strange time of day.
now it causes cringe at the memory of this show

[jolly bane]

Predates Twilight actually.

[tired roost]

good

had better chances cause of lack of false assotiation

what is this show then?

[tired roost]

"I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" fits pretty well into this, at least with one leg

tho mostly to the impossible then the body horror

The Thing is more balanced in both, but it's less impossible

[jolly bane]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twilight_Zone

[tired roost]

im not going to the link, cause i value my internet history and im not sure of this one. but the preview kinda makes me think of Dr who

various genres, mixed with unusual horror? yeah, sounds Who-ish

[jolly bane]

I'd say there's some similarities yeah.

[gilded vortex]

The Twilight Zone is quite famous

[jolly bane]

One of many things I know thanks to my dad because this was well before my time

[gilded vortex]

Fear of helicopters

[tired roost]

i still gotta see Dr who, i seen clips, and only 1 episode, and the impossible horror is so intrigueing, along with it sopousedly often giving reasonable explanation for the stuff it shows

the episode i saw was about a creature, that if someone was being looked at, could flatten them into something of a perspective-grafity

a flat image of them, that from one point looks as if it was there

and it was engaging at least

[jolly bane]

in regards to the Who-verse have you heard of the weeping angels?

they're a type of creature(?) that looks to be a stone statue of an angel. Except they're alive, and murderous. But can only move if not being observed.

[tired roost]

need polish, but general idea is there

[tired roost]

a great conept

there is a reason that first made SCP is a copy of htat

and that Lethal Company has the same thing

[gilded vortex]

And Endermen

[tired roost]

no

not at all

no similarity at all between weeping and enderman

one teleports and kill you when you look at it, one moves at a humanly possible speed whenever it's out of site

[jolly bane]

Endermen are very explicitely a Slenderman rip

[gusty vale]

Can steamodded handle texture mods with greater resolution than normal ? Like the cards are 71 x 95 but could like increase these values and to what extent ?

[gilded vortex]

I thought Weeping Angels were one of their inspirations

Because I had thought I heard so

but e.g. once you stare at Endermen they don’t become hostile until you look away

[gusty vale]

Just to be clear I don't want to increase the size of the cards but just the textures they have.

[gilded vortex]

You can change the values when you configure the Atlas

[gusty vale]

the what ?

[gilded vortex]

The Atlas

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_atlas

Well Atlii since there’s more than one

[gusty vale]

I want to modify the textures of the playing cards and I wanted to do something similar to what I did for my previous mod : https://github.com/DanganMachin/Fem-Jokers-v.1.1.0
What would I need to modify to achieve this ?

[west hill]

I would assume the game would resize them automatically

[gilded vortex]

why is there a .rar file in there

[gusty vale]

I tried using the Negate texture pack as base but it doesn't change the playing cards in the assets.

[gilded vortex]

Anyways just read the Steamodded wiki page for Atlii

[gusty vale]

Easier to handle the mod if it's in one file

[gilded vortex]

But the one file doesn’t need to be compressed

[gusty vale]

Link ?

[gilded vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/tom-and-jerry-what-insomnia-no-sleep-gif-13337078

[gilded vortex]

It’s in the Steamodded GitHub

[gusty vale]

It's just to distribute it, you need to uncompress it later

[gilded vortex]

You don’t need to compress to distribute it

[nocturne lava]

You can, it's just modifying the amount of pixels the atlas code uses from px = 71 and py = 95. The pixel smoothing option already uses the 2X folder, which is double the 1x folder for 142 by 190, and if you bumped the atlas to px = 142, py = 190, without using pixel smoothing, the game would split the file in the 1X folder into 142 by 190 pixel images, and with pixel smoothing, it'd use 284 by 380 sprites from the 2X folder.

[gilded vortex]

In fact it’s better if it’s uncompressed on GitHub so people can read the code

Which is in fact a requirement

See the modding rules

[gusty vale]

Yeah but it's easier

[gilded vortex]

It’s really not

Anyways

[gusty vale]

When I tried to put it uncompressed it was like a mess

[gilded vortex]

Skill issue

[gilded vortex]

Try this https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1252335316107395154

[gusty vale]

So looking at the lua there is like two strings of code, could someone help me figure why ? Wouldn't one be enough ?
SMODS.Atlas {
key = 'cards_1',
px = 71,
py = 95,
path = '8BitDeck.png',
raw_key = true,
}

SMODS.Atlas {
key = 'cards_2',
px = 71,
py = 95,
path = '8BitDeck.png',
raw_key = true,
}

My apologies if my questions seem dumb I have no experience in coding.

[tired roost]

2 mostly done

[toxic walrus]

love the art on this.

[tired roost]

i love it too

who could have guessed that making art every day makes you better at art

[toxic walrus]

plays nicely into the balatro pixel aesthetic with old technology haha

[tired roost]

this is my first blatro sprite, it was right after Deadpool release

i advanced a bunch

[lean dune]

high/low contrast versions of playing cards

[gusty vale]

Oh you mean like that high contrast option in the menu that makes the club blue in vanilla ? Thanks for clearing that up !

[toxic walrus]

btw , why does steamodded have a menu in escape for high contrast cards??

it feels super unecessary, its literally the same amount of button pressing if it was left where it was by default 😭 ??

[gilded vortex]

what

[gilded vortex]

I was asking what were you asking

Not about the menu

[toxic walrus]

i dont really know how i can be more clear 💀

"why does steamodded have a menu in escape for high contrast cards?"

[west hill]

It’s a relic of alt textures that wasn’t meant to be merged

It’ll auto populate with consumables too

But no one knows how to use it

And it’s been removed now anyway

So update I guess?

[toxic walrus]

i updated like a week ago

if that

was it removed since then?

[gilded vortex]

I think it’s because you had a typo which I see you have since fixed

[nocturne lava]

Pretty sure it was removed maybe 2-4 days ago.

[shy ibex]

Can someone please tell me what the chances of getting an Astral card from a Standard pack are in the Cryptid mod?

[west hill]

Yeah I think it was removed when stakes were updated

[snow fern]

hi, i'm having trouble launching the game with brainstorm mod

I have the lovely injector, I have the unzipped file in the %appdata% ---> Roaming ---> Balatro ---> mods

Create a Random rare Joker, must have room

[desert delta]

Hey folks, I’ve been working on a mod which adds a “Daily Run” section. Every day a new run is generated with a random seed, deck, and stake for you to try. You can also see your highest hand score for the run and a leaderboard of the top 5 players.

It’s in a super early but playable state and user feedback would help me refine and debug it so I was curious if anyone would be interested to try it.

I have a .zip of the mod I can share here but wanted to be clear on the rules before doing so. Would that be alright to post?

Here's what it looks like btw

[candid sable]

You can post in https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209506514763522108

[desert delta]

I'll write up a post for it now, ty!

[tired roost]

heh

[restive sparrow]

Like from isaac

[fiery kayak]

Are you able to run it back and try again or is only your FIRST run considered for the leaderboard?

[desert delta]

Run it back as many times as you want until there's a new daily session. If another run replaces your existing high score it will be posted to the leaderboard server

[tired roost]

[tired roost]

this one is the only one thats actualy 100% finished of them all

"The Forgotten"
Destroy random 7 cards in the full deck, Give a random uncommon Joker, and a random Rare Joker

slightly tuned the color of "The Grimm" eye, to make a small reference

lookin good

[west hill]

some of these look very similar

[tired roost]

The Void - Destroy all Cards of a random suit, Copy all cards Of other random suit
The Eternity - All jokers in hand become Eternal, and given a random Edition
The Rot - 
The Insects - 
The Grimm - Destroy the leftmost Joker, give 10x the sell value of this joker
The Misplaced - Destroy 3 random Enhanced Cards in full deck, transfer all enhancements, seals, and editions of the destroyed cards, onto 3 random cards in full deck
The Unknown - Give a random Rare Joker, this joker is always face down
The Lost - Disable a random Joker, after defeating boss blind, give 1to3 (random amount) copies of the Disabled Joker as negative (Remove all other Editions), and reenable the Joker
The Nameless - Destroy all jokers in hand, give random Joker of the same Rarity per joker destroyed
The Pit - 
The Flesh - 
The Spirit - 
The Beast - 
The Forgotten - Destroy random 7 cards in the full deck, Give a random uncommon Joker, and a random Rare Joker
The Apocalypse - 
The Hat Man - 
The Smile - Create random Rare Joker, must have room, 1in4 chance to destroy a random Joker
The Burden - 
The Trap - 
The Impossible - 

feel free if you have an idea of effect for one of these

You are using windows right

[fierce minnow]

yep

[candid sable]

Don't need to set WINEDLLOVERRIDES on windows

Thank you, for some reason I don't have the virus and threat protection option in my settings, so I manually overrode it with registry editor. For some reason it keeps reverting the change tho

[toxic walrus]

no problem o7

let me know if you get any more problems with Brainstorm

[fierce minnow]

Got it all set up! thanks so much. Does it normally make your game run significantly faster?

[nocturne lava]

I'm pretty sure it adds some higher option to the game speed setting, yeah, you can probably turn it back down if it's too much.

[fierce minnow]

I mean it normally is pretty laggy on my computer but now its running no problem. Very exciting

[tired roost]

Yes

[fierce minnow]

Also don't mean to keep bothering everyone but after closing the game it would not open again, I checked my balatro folder and version.dll had disappeared

[rugged dune]

which art is better?

[fiery kayak]

there are elements on each that I enjoy

the machine itself feels a lot better on the left side, but the robust card border from the right side does feel nice

[rugged dune]

just realised i forgot the word joker lol

yeah i think the border makes it a lot nicer

[gilded vortex]

I think you can avoid the border if you make the Joker into an actual slot machine

I like the colors and jackpot sign of the left

[white scarab]

I like how the jackpot sign looks like the shop sign

[rugged dune]

im gonna try merge the 2 i think

[fiery kayak]

yeah the red border lights on the left version are so choice

[rugged dune]

thoughts on this?

in game if that makes any diff

hold on i got a cool idea

[gilded vortex]

I wouldn't use the white outline, at least not on all of it. I think at least the bottom, dark blue part should use a different color for the inner outline

(I guess that means it's not an outline)

[rugged dune]

what about this

gonna tweak the pos a bit

there we go

ah shit it doesnt say joker

[gilded vortex]

I was going to say to replace one of the texts with "Joker"

but maybe you can hide it in the money

[rugged dune]

money is a good idea

i think thats good

[fiery kayak]

good use of the soul effect

I tried to print to see what the variable eligible_card is, but the console shows nil

[rugged dune]

try tostring()

[muted osprey]

I got the value table: 0x2ec9b288

[rugged dune]

means its a table

probably the actual card itself

you can do

for k, v in pairs(eligible_card) do
  print(tostring(k))
  print(tostring(v))
end```

if you want to see all the parts of it

[muted osprey]

What I tried to do was to make Hex always choose the leftmost joker, instead of a random one

[rugged dune]

G.jokers.cards[1]

for the leftmost joker

G.jokers.cards[1]:set_edition({polychrome = true}, true)

should set the leftmost joker to polychrome

[muted osprey]

Even better would be to select a Joker, and let Hex hit the selected one

But I don't know how to do that either though

[muted osprey]

The polychrome didn't show up visually when using this

[rugged dune]

are you taking ownership of the in game cards

[rugged dune]

thats weird

[muted osprey]

The mod I'm working on allows one to upgrade almost every item in the game. While most of the upgrades are numerical, there are some cards that don't upgrade numerically (e.g. Hex)

For the Spectral Cards, I chose to do Hex first for because I could test it very easily by using the ghost deck

[rugged dune]

if you put _RELEASE_MODE = false in your mod then you can spawn anything from the collection for easier testing

[white belfry]

sorry to interrupt, feel free to ignore and continue coversation lol, but Hello, I'm currently trying to download the cryptid "in development" mod. I had luck with the normal cryptid mod. But when I try to download the new version the game keeps crashing. I think the issue is the "Steammodded" folder. When I take it out and use the steammodded folder that came with the original mod it works, but the cryptid mod is missing the dependancy. I'm honestly at a loss for what to do, so any help would be appreciated.

[rugged dune]

i didnt know cryptid had an in development tbh

i cant remember the last time i actually played the game instead of making mods lol

sorry

[rugged dune]

can i see some of your code?

[white belfry]

I just saw a video from Roffle Lite playing with a deck I'd never seen before, and someone sent me the link for it lol

yeah no worries

thanks anyways

[rugged dune]

ik regular cryptid has a bunch of decks

my only suggestion would be maybe update steamodded?

[white belfry]

yeah I tried using the new steammodded, which is what's making it crash. My old steammoded file works perfecfly fine with the original cryptid mod. But with this "in development" version It says "Dependency missing" and labels steammodded as the original

[rugged dune]

have you got talisman installed?

[white belfry]

yes, though maybe I'll try the original talisman rather than the one that came with this in development file

[rugged dune]

i wish i knew what more to suggest sorry

best of luck with it tho

[white belfry]

no not at all, you're insight is very much appreciated :)

[rugged dune]

try that^^

[hasty parrot]

hey this is probably the wrong chat for this, but I tried installing the cryptid mod and others on my mac but it just wont work. I downloaded steamodded and lovely but the instructions on which directory to put them in were not really clear to me. Sorry to bother you both mid conversation.

[muted osprey]

I've already tried that, it returns card.lua:1597: attempt to index global 'eligible_card' (a nil value)

And the weird thing is that in my testing with the Scholar and Misprint, the Hex would normally hit the Scholar.
If I use the new Hex on the Scholar, the polychrome doesn't visually show, and it doesn't give me XMult. But if I use the Hex on the Misprint, it does become polychrome, and it gives me XMult.

[brisk seal]

do you have talisman?

[rugged dune]

which line is 1597?

[hasty parrot]

yes it came with the new version of cryptid. into which folders should I paste them in though? thanks already for responding

[brisk seal]

the Steamodded, Cryptid, Talisman, and lovely folders most all be in the Mods folder directly

and the Cryptid foldr should named Cryptid and the Talisman folder Talisman

[muted osprey]

1597 is an empty line, but given that I used lovely to add something else to card.lua, 1597 is probably some other line nearby

[white belfry]

sorry to be completely off topic real quick, but I'm actually subscribed to you lol

[rugged dune]

you can check in your mods folder, go to lovely dump and then card.lua

but dw about that for now

[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "edition = {polychrome = true}"
position = "after" # before, after, or at
payload = """if spectral_level >= 3 then
  eligible_card = G.jokers.cards[1]
end"""
match_indent = true```

try that

changed pos to after

its working for me

[muted osprey]

it worked!

[rugged dune]

awesome

[muted osprey]

But my next testing had a holographic Juggler and Scary Face

And using the Hex replaced the holographic Juggler with a polychrome one

[rugged dune]

yeah so youll need to check if the leftmost joker is editionless

do you want it to just pick the leftmost joker that doesnt have an edition?

i can write a patch for that rq

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "edition = {polychrome = true}"
position = "after" # before, after, or at
payload = """if spectral_level >= 3 then
  for i = 1, #G.jokers.cards do
    if not G.jokers.cards[i].edition then
      eligible_card = G.jokers.cards[i]
      break
    end
  end
end"""
match_indent = true```

that should pick the left most joker without an edition

so if you have a holo joker in slot 1

and then 4 editionless

itll pick the 2nd joker along

[muted osprey]

I did something different — I made it so that you couldn't use Hex unless the first joker is editionless or spectral_level is 4 or higher

[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "if next(self.eligible_editionless_jokers) then return true end"
position = "at" # before, after, or at
payload = """if spectral_level == 3 then
  if not G.jokers.cards[1].edition then return true end
elseif spectral_level <= 2 then
  if next(self.eligible_editionless_jokers) then return true end
end"""
match_indent = true```

[rugged dune]

that works too yeah, just depends how you want it to work

[muted osprey]

So currently, Hex works like this:

• Level 1: vanilla Hex
• Level 2: no longer destroys other jokers
• Level 3: first joker received Polychrome instead of random joker
• Level 4+: Polychrome can override other editions
  Most Spectral cards only have finitely many essentially different levels, since they have non-numerical effects

[rugged dune]

damn

nice

[devout wharf]

yeah this cryptid mod is broken lmao

[humble spindle]

Would anyone know why create_text_input prevents certain characters from being typed in, like the @ symbol or % symbol? Weirdly enough it allows for underscores and &

[rugged dune]

you can put extended_corpus = true in it i think

allows other characters

[muted osprey]

Thanks for your help! I've done something similar with Ectoplasm as well, but instead of "Level 2 no longer destroys all other jokers", it's "Level 2 no longer reduces hand size"

[rugged dune]

happy to help

[muted osprey]

thanks a lot

[rugged dune]

:)

[humble spindle]

can't get it to accept the @ symbol unfortunately

[rugged dune]

that might just be one it wont accept then

too strong?

[white scarab]

half a cryptid

honestly fine

[rugged dune]

was thinking of tweaking it to not draw to hand

just go to deck

yeah it adds it to the deck instead, and reshuffles it

so you cant do game breaking stuff like you can with cryptid

but if you really need the extra card then you can still sometimes draw it

[white scarab]

That seems fair

[lunar jasper]

hello, has anyone had a similar issue installing lovely on windows?

windows wont let me install

[muted osprey]

But when I tried doing something similar with Ankh, I'm getting the dreaded "attempt to index global <variable> (a nil value)" error again:
card.lua:1553: attempt to index global 'chosen_joker' (a nil value)
Can I inquire what exactly causes this error to occur, and how to avoid that?

[cursive yew]

my balatro decided to unmod itself

lmao

any way to reactivate the mods?

[rugged dune]

try putting overwrite = true in the patch with for ankh

[rugged dune]

your antivirus mightve deleted the version.dll in your steam folder

so you might just have to reinstall that

[rugged dune]

you should be able to just let it past windows

[muted osprey]

Go to Settings, and search "virus", go to Virus and threat protection then click Manage Settings, and go to Add or remove exclusions, and add the Balatro folder

[cursive yew]

yep., is gone

[rugged dune]

yeah youll just have to reinstall that

mod folder should still be all good

[cursive yew]

steammodded and lovely injector no?

[lunar jasper]

awesome thanks

[rugged dune]

literally all you need is the version.dll

[rugged dune]

nws

[rugged dune]

no need to reinstall steamodded

[cursive yew]

oh, ok

[muted osprey]

wait, this works

[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "local chosen_joker = pseudorandom_element(G.jokers.cards, pseudoseed('ankh_choice'))"
position = "after" # before, after, or at
payload = """if spectral_level >= 3 then
  chosen_joker = G.jokers.cards[1]
end"""
match_indent = true```

[rugged dune]

thats good

[muted osprey]

Now, I get it where the error is — I used local on the variable twice, which is what caused the "attempt to index global <variable> (a nil value)" error. Instead, if I define the variable first, and then overwrite it if a condition is met, it wouldn't cause an error. So instead of

    local <variable> = <valueA>
else
  local <variable> = <valueB>
end```
do
```local <variable> = <valueB>
if <condition> then
  <variable> = <valueA>
end```

[rugged dune]

oh yeah

local is local inside ifs and fors etc

[cursive yew]

what is the mod that adds the programming consumables?

[brisk seal]

Cryptid

[muted osprey]

ah, that makes sense. I came from here from Python, which doesn't have locals inside ifs, so that's why I couldn't see the problem. Especially because the error doesn't point right there, but at a line later when the variable is actually being used

[rugged dune]

at least you know now

[muted osprey]

yep, at least now I know how to deal with those "attempt to index global <variable> (a nil value)" errors

[brisk seal]

you tried to use a variable which didn't exist

[cursive yew]

wait, cryptid adds the programming cards?

[brisk seal]

yes

[cursive yew]

because i have it installed but there aren't any

[brisk seal]

u need a newer version

[cursive yew]

ohhhhhhh

[cursive yew]

how do i update cryptid?

[muted osprey]

Um... Judgement is giving me floating jokers

[rugged dune]

you might need to emplace them to G.jokers

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "card.lua"
pattern = "local card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, self.ability.name == 'The Soul', nil, nil, nil, nil, self.ability.name == 'Judgement' and 'jud' or 'sou')"
position = "at" # before, after, or at
payload = """
if self.ability.name == 'Judgement' then
  for i = 1, tarot_level, 1 do
    card = create_card('Joker', G.jokers, false, nil, nil, nil, nil, 'jud')
    card:add_to_deck()
    G.jokers:emplace(card)
  end
end
"""
match_indent = true```

should work i think

[muted osprey]

I'm getting something even weirder — instead of getting 3 jokers as intended, I'm receiving 4 jokers, but one of them is invisible
(and I don't mean the joker named "Invisible Joker", but rather a joker that's there but isn't rendering)
Using Ankh on it reveals that it's a Holographic Zany Joker.

Besides, I probably also need to add a condition to prevent it from spawning so many jokers that it overfills the joker slots

[rugged dune]

changed the position to after again oops

[rugged dune]

yeah probably best to put in a check first and see what happens after

[muted osprey]

I'm getting this result: one joker is invisible and one joker is floating
(In this case, the joker that is invisible is another Castle, which shouldn't even happen unless I have Showman)

[rugged dune]

im not sure what to suggest any more sorry

i think ive used up all my knowledge lol

[tawny anchor]

i messed around with cryptid mod a little too much and managed to get two unlocks stuck in a "discovered but locked" state. is there any way to fix this other than cracking open the save file somehow?

i also rolled chicot from a soul card but it still didnt give me the unlock

[cursive yew]

I still didn't got it

[lean dune]

easiest is to use debug to just force unlock them

you could probably also undiscover them some way with debugplus is that's what you want, but there's no keybind for it

[uncut river]

this is prolly a dumb question, but where do i find cryptid and archetype downloads?

#1219749193204371456

[gusty vale]

So is the code I put here correct ? Everything seems to work when I am playing... I doubled the values to put higher definitions drawings for my texture mod.

Does anyone have the vanilla sprite sheet for the playing cards ? The only one I have is a modded sprite sheet and I'd like a vanilla to use as a base.

[gilded vortex]

The game’s code has them

I mean the game’s files

[gusty vale]

I don't know where that is 😭

[west hill]

what size do you want?

[gusty vale]

923 x 380

[gilded vortex]

You can access them with Steam

[gusty vale]

My mod uses 1846 x 760 as 1x but that's because the textures are doubled.

[west hill]

sent them to you

[swift matrix]

For future reference, you can unzip the game exe to get all the code and assets

As in just like if it was just a zip file cause it really is

[zenith island]

how do i make a joker i mod in already discovered?

[swift matrix]

It's a boolean right in the joker definition

[zenith island]

english? (i've just started coding)

[swift matrix]

It's something you can set to true when you make a joker

Instead of discovered=false do =true

And dw you're already further along than me. I still need to start coding jokers at all. I'm working on a project with someone and need to learn on the job so to speak

[zenith island]

Gotcha, thanks!

[swift matrix]

Np :3

[tired roost]

2 new Terrors

[tired roost]

The Pit - Get 3 double tags, destroy 5 card in hand
The Impossible - For all Cards in full deck there is a 1/2 chance to get random enhancement if it doesn't have one, 1/4 chance to get random stamp if it doesn't have one, a 1/6 chance to get a random edition if it doesn't have one, and a 1/6 chance to randomize its suit

[grand geode]

the pit is so good

double tag + deck thinning

[tired roost]

all specifics of the effects can change

[prime cairn]

Here is my old mod folder

I just tried to add as much things as possible back then

and got like 100 jokers with this

[swift matrix]

here my ass is with over 750 jokers in game on 1.0 :p

my current Mods folder (which I also provide as a mod pack for anyone interested)

[prime cairn]

I wonder if someone will try to get every joker ever made compatible

[candid sable]

That is almost impossible

[prime cairn]

I know that but

It is fun to imagine

[candid sable]

yeah one could imagine

[tired roost]

it is actualy impossible
bacuse there is technicaly no limit to the number you can put after a +

[swift matrix]

tbh there aren't too many joker mods that are imcompatible with 1.0. Jellymod and Lushmod are the two major ones I know of that are totally abaondoned

[tired roost]

X18723986149761897324587263489176349851238475639182779027096345 can be done

and thats boring

[west hill]

most 1.0 mods should be compatible with each other tbh

[swift matrix]

I kinda assumed they meant existing jokers

[west hill]

there's no reason they shouldn't be as long as they're made sensibly

[swift matrix]

they seem to be, and most 0.98 mods with them

[tired roost]

oh, i read it as "possible" and not "compatible"

[swift matrix]

Though speaking of sensibly made, as someone trying to learn how to code mods, most people seem to do very odd things with the api, lol. Well, not so much odd, just a specialized workflow

instead of just defining the jokers 1 by 1 fully, which ofc is what I'd wanna be doing

makes it harder to uh... reference... their code

[west hill]

I think that's a relic of 0.9.8

assuming you mean like cryptid does it

[swift matrix]

I didn't look at cryptid, but what a lot of mods seem to do is like... define all the variables at the beginng and then use a kinda pseudo-api

[west hill]

have you got an example?

[swift matrix]

maybe "a lot" was an exageration, but Bunco does something similar

they have their own "create_joker" function

which uses the api, while their joker definitons use the function

[gilded vortex]

I mean IIRC they’re just setting up default values

[swift matrix]

which yeah, sounds like a porting artefact

[gilded vortex]

Not really

I think it’s helpful both as a development tool to set up default values to ensure testing works, but also to standardize things that might be common

Like the Atlas

I should probably do that myself

[swift matrix]

what I mean is their joker definitons don't directly use smods.joker, they call a function that uses it

[west hill]

bunco's implementation does seem needlessly complicated

[swift matrix]

Also a lot of mods give all their jokers their own lua files, which is perfectly fine, but makes it a pain to reference their code

[west hill]

I think seperate files is a fine way to organise your code base

[tired roost]

The Spirit - give 2 random negative tarots, 2 negative terrors, and 2 negative Spectrals
