⚙・modding-general

[obsidian stump]

yeah i bought the app on Google play but it ain't my cup of tea

[grand geode]

lovely doesn't like doing that

[lean dune]

we haven't figured that one out yet, but besides we aren't even allowed to discuss mobile modding in this server

[obsidian stump]

yeah that's why i asked kinda indirectly

no I'm not doing anything illegal

hopefully

this app version is just for me

[lean dune]

even then there's so much potential for incompatibility

the code of the mobile version has to be quite far off the steam version for all the bugs it has

to some degree you can do this with lovely dumps (or directly with an old version of steamodded that current day mods don't support anymore) but the former requires changing the inner structure of steamodded

[obsidian stump]

as i said, i port the pc version

[obsidian stump]

the brackets are the reason I'm here

[white scarab]

Issue is you can’t just port Lovely

otherwise it would be done already

[sturdy canyon]

guys am i strong enough

build seems weak

[inner mural]

im sorry did you just make budget crimbo?

[sturdy canyon]

budget what now...

[white scarab]

great minds think alike

[inner mural]

ong

[sturdy canyon]

math called me a great mind

this is a good omen

[inner mural]

where the fuck is my omen

ive been waiting like

2 months

[lean dune]

the brackets will get you support for no recent mods, but this has been done

there's not much potential with that approach to work around lovely though, so a lovely port is what would be needed

[sturdy canyon]

yeah no i do not know how to draw rain

[fallow bramble]

Sad splash

[sturdy canyon]

splash if it was fucked up and evil

marie would hate me

[river lark]

rain that just ceses to exist when it touches the air

:P

[sturdy canyon]

ima be real

i cant tell if this is op or not

if you play a 5 card hand in a regular deck, you're gonna have 3 cards left

so thats like only 1 extra card score

[timid arch]

Sounds like uncommon ngl

unless you have a specific build the most this will do is +10 chips or so

[inner mural]

just rig it :jimball:

actualy this makes poly actualy valuable in baron mime

[obsidian stump]

thank you 🥺

[obsidian stump]

tbh nah

wait i take it back

bloodstone is already inconsistent

[ripe silo]

Does anyone know a challenge creator mod? If not, is there an easy way to make them, I’ve heard the code is easy to modify

[lean dune]

you just put the same condition twice

[warm pasture]

Yeah I know the parens are kinda redudant

Really tryna make it clear

[timid arch]

I would word it
"If Blind is not beaten in 1 hand, set score to 0"

[warm pasture]

That's good

Thx

[timid arch]

How will money from hands be handled?

[obsidian stump]

oh no lmfao

[ripe silo]

No money from hands

I would hope

[warm pasture]

No money from hands. Might change later but I'd need to play test

But the way it's implemented makes it obvious UI wise

[ripe silo]

Nah just give them infinite cash to have fun

[warm pasture]

That kinda is tattered yellow

[ripe silo]

That’s crazy

[warm pasture]

It's surprsingly difficult

At the start at least

[junior rock]

all you need to do is survive ante 1 and you win

[ripe silo]

I might be interpreting it wrong but a good economy joker like mail in would prob get you the win

[junior rock]

that's with any deck though so

[warm pasture]

Money at the end rounds

[ripe silo]

Yeah but that’s multiplying the cash from the economy joker

[warm pasture]

That's true, I mean the .1x part can always be changed so we'll see

[obsidian stump]

0.05 sounds better

[exotic shadow]

You can manually but it's not easy.

[drowsy parrot]

someone should make a gamemode where its only luigi's casino and that alone

[sturdy canyon]

okay but what if

incredibly stupid idea ik

i played a hand so great that it broke the game

[rugged fable]

I'm waiting for the 100,000 event queue

[river lark]

real

[sturdy canyon]

uhm

last frame before i crashed

[rugged fable]

oh well

I've managed to break 10,000 events just by having a bunch of these

(sprite is a placeholder)

[sturdy canyon]

nvm its just really slow

[rugged fable]

"Current FPS"

yeahhhhh

[sturdy canyon]

fps from last hour

frames per month

[rugged fable]

gotta love it when you gotta measure the frame rate in SPF

[quiet moth]

this a great start. i think you will get a better rain effect if you have the streaks diagonally, like they are being effected by wind

[sturdy canyon]

ty!!

[sturdy canyon]

oh my god its still goin

[tired roost]

is there a mod that makes unlocks work in challenges?
NLM is constantly updating, and i dont want to drop playing the chalanges just so i dont have the blanks in the collection

[gilded vortex]

Cute

[tacit zealot]

what gives that calculating popup?

[limpid lake]

Talisman

[rugged fable]

was testing a joker and might've made an engine

a stencil engine

[tacit zealot]

how many brainstorms does it take to get a headache

[rugged fable]

idk

[sturdy canyon]

just sell most of your stencils

and duplicate all of your brainstorms for exponential brainstorming

unless its not copyable

[rugged fable]

it's copiable

[sturdy canyon]

then go wild

[rugged fable]

and yeah that might be the move, tho I gotta make sure I got enough X mult from a single stencil being brainstormed to do that

[rugged fable]

oh boy

[spare geyser]

302 jokers but it wasn't enough sadly lol

probably cause 297 of them were jimbo

[tired roost]

friend (programmer of NLM) says that it cant be done/it would be absurdly hard.

i think it would be quite simple actualy

whats the consensus of the smarts?

(its an outdated sprite)

[rugged fable]

depends on how you want to go about testing for jokers activating

you might be able to inject into the juice up function to mark which jokers have activated from a played hand

alternatively just add a billion injects throughout the scoring process

if I play long enough I might hit naninf

[sturdy canyon]

how do i respond

[rugged fable]

hell yeah

[sturdy canyon]

maybe make it not brainstormable

[inner mural]

you dont have to

[rugged fable]

probably a good idea

[sturdy canyon]

most likely yes

[exotic shadow]

you coudl check for like what wario or whatever in cryptid does buit theres quite a few jokers that don't really have triggers (oops, credit card). Also what counts as a trigger is hard (like does loyatly card chaging count)?

[inner mural]

jimbo lover wawa person

quick question

dis u?

[sturdy canyon]

😨

[inner mural]

boo

👻

[rugged fable]

one last dupe before I nerf

playing a hand freezes the game for like 3 whole seconds

[tired roost]

those would just get destroyed, i think that what shakes is a trigger

[daring sluice]

depends
some jokers don't do anything visible, but generally if a joker would be to do anything it would return some value
i wouldn't do it though, since generally when youre doing stuff like destroying jokers under a condition you want to be conservative with the condition which can't happen here

[tired roost]

i wouldnt count oa6 or updating loyality as triggering

[west hill]

it's a mod compat nightmare too

[daring sluice]

i feel like a good way to make it less frustrating is to temporarily debuff jokers that don't return at all during a round (one round?)

and there would be some jokers it'd always debuff but you could just sell the joker and it's not a run ruining event or anything

but idk, ofc you'd only be able to gain xmult once from a joker

[tired roost]

if it was just there to disable jokers, it would be worthless, and more fitting to the idea of "Evil Jokers" (the very on the side idea of mine)

[river lark]

Just saying that i personally cannot 😭

[tired roost]

a classic missunderstanding

[river lark]

Hmm I'll keep wario in minds, ty

[exotic shadow]

so invisible counting up is a trigger?

[tired roost]

If it shakes before Safety Dance does in the round conclusion then yes

and isnce i was ignored the first time i asked, i repeat myself

is there a mod that makes unlocks work in challenges?
NLM is constantly updating, and i dont want to drop playing the chalanges just so i dont have the blanks in the collection

[tranquil vessel]

could lovely patch/hook the unlock function?

[graceful sundial]

I found a bobo on cryptid. and a very rare one that cause Instant game crash (if it wasn't found first of course). potion + negative = crash

Doodle M can spawn negative potions

[grand geode]

potions crash if not created by choco die

[graceful sundial]

😮 welp. that is a problem

[hasty skiff]

is this normal

[gaunt dawn]

has anyone noticed that merely having steammoded enabled, it alters seeds? this screenshot i just took from ALEEB, when it should be trading card and rocket ship

i guess it might just be the jokers that show up in the shop, because the soul cards still appear in the same packs

[amber crown]

what the hell does xNil mean

womp womp

[graceful sundial]

alright so Gemini + Misprint joker = Mega Freeze

[hollow mica]

Is there a mod that sorts the joker collection by sticker completion?

[manic cobalt]

anyone know where to find the most popular mods

[timid arch]

There isn't really a list of most popular mods, but the well known content mod is cryptid

[manic cobalt]

how do i get that one

[timid arch]

Found an index of mods
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aoJrrC7Y-dkvJwBu_U6amelYnoCrZgWqpoGRAfHN1ys/edit?usp=sharing

[manic cobalt]

it doesnt have the cryptid mod

[timid arch]

Make sure you are in the "1.0.0 and Lovely mods" tab

[manic cobalt]

okay

[unreal juniper]

what would be the downside of a invisible joker spawn, would it be like X0.3 mult? X0.25? -1 handsize???

for a consumable

[near brook]

hi, my balatro is crashing at start when trying to use steamodded something about main.lua not being found

really wanted to play de pokermon mod

[near brook]

this is the error it gives

[tacit zealot]

I'm pretty sure that means the mod you have simply... wasn't tested before release..? I can't fathom how else that could happen

[daring sluice]

many ways

first of all, make sure everything is up to date

@near brook

i assume you're using lovely 0.6.0 and the latest steamodded 1.0 alpha

if you're sure everything is up to date then post the log where the crash happened (Mods/lovely/logs)

[heavy oasis]

what is the newest version of Steammoded

[copper knot]

Did I win?

[grand geode]

no, Talisman moment

[near brook]

this is the log

[near brook]

i only had steamodded

[near brook]

yes i have both

[tulip charm]

is there a mod that enables some basic keyboard functionality? I have Handy which is nice, but I just want to be able to Play Hand / Discard via keyboard

[paper flame]

"He's right behind me, isn't he-"

[river lark]

https://tenor.com/view/jason-momoa-creeper-minecraft-minecraft-movie-behind-me-gif-8331825364332469462

[echo pond]

OMG HEAR ME OUT. Skin for chaotic joker that is just the creeper

Anyway I have been thinking of getting into Balatro modding. I want to make a joker based of Will Wood, anyone got any ideas

[sturdy canyon]

worlds cleanest cut

took me a little bit of coding just to get that cool transition

[river lark]

lol

[spark turtle]

this is such a dumb idea but now i can't get the Alan Greenspan legendary joker out of my head
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRDVq4s7piTpn-w9RHD-DLxLmkXKF_eLO1eCrwx7rPJW5SR1-0OPW83y7UQNMpBn9od2M4lXx5A440q/pub

i think i need to make him real

[river lark]

Damn

And then dept is bigger than any other rewards

[spark turtle]

i just feel like it's funny to make the normal “negative number bad” into “negative number good!?”

[faint gorge]

i messed up

from ante -3000something to ante -1

[marble olive]

13.5 antes

[faint gorge]

unbeatable

[marble olive]

you really need the extra .8 of a joker slot

[faint gorge]

i think i have to use some magic

[young pine]

this looks like an image straight out of hell

[marble olive]

eternal box

[faint gorge]

real hell is, that when i play hand, debug mod says "end"

and turns off the game

so i am trying to use debug mode to solve it lol

it didn't work, F

[plush halo]

https://github.com/BBBalatroMod/BBBalatro/tree/main this one has an old release and not the usual zip, do I just make a folder and stick the LUA in it? (I'm using Steammodded + Lovely

[tired roost]

ok, i was ignored twice already, i ask once again

is there a mod that makes unlocks work in challenges?
NLM is constantly updating, and i dont want to drop playing the chalanges just so i dont have the blanks in the collection

give me a name of the mod to download for this, pls pls pls

[tired roost]

is this related to jacksfilms? /j

Joker idea (?)

"Bingo"
when any 5 of the following conditions are met, X5 and +20$
( [list of random 25 joker-ish conditions form a list of like 100 or so] )

(conditions like: Played hand is a flush/2pair/3ofaKind/ect. , Played hand contains a flush/2pair/3ofaKind/ect. , # of Odd/Even/specific card score, ending a round with discards left, ect. ect.)

[tranquil vessel]

look man if you asked 3 times and nobody gave you a link to a mod it probably doesn't exist

[radiant root]

Anyone know any good card skin mods?

[odd flax]

You ask a broad question, no one ignored you, it's just no one have your answer

[tired roost]

if the answer is "no" then you answer "no", not with silence

[odd flax]

Your question doesn't seem to accept "no" What if someone do really have it comes along later

[tired roost]

"is there..."
"no there isnt..."

[tranquil vessel]

Because nobody actually has an exhaustive list of all balatro mods. Notice how I didn't say "no", I said "probably not"? That's why people didn't answer, because they don't actually know.

[odd flax]

Yeah, it's unknown

[tired roost]

thats a better answer than saying jack shit

[inner mural]

i dont belive so, but if you just gotta unlock shit use debugplus

[sturdy canyon]

peak dropping in 15 minutes

[limpid lake]

i am not aware of a mod that does this, and i suspect that nobody else is either

[heavy oasis]

Do you have videos on how to make all the different items ( Jokers, decks, challenges, etc...)

[versed bough]

only jokers so far

consumable/consumable types very very soon

[heavy oasis]

is there a link to that video?

[versed bough]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp-4U5TlbxY i believe its this one?

[timid pulsar]

hello, is there a mod to like skip the scoring fase?

[versed bough]

Talisman has a setting to disable scoring animations

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1241172556849876993

[timid pulsar]

ah, I think I already have it installed? (I have cryptid)

ah thanks, just found that I can click on the mod itself to find their own settings

btw, how often does cryptid crash? .. because I think I have been able to only win a run so far the rest all end up crashing

[versed bough]

try obtaining less jokers

i know it sounds stupid but

playing deck of equilibrium, encoded etc.

[timid pulsar]

ye lol

[versed bough]

is a mine field

so just try avoid mass joker duplication

and double-e scoring

[timid pulsar]

ye perhaps using blueprint, canvas and queens ganbit ain't the best idea xD

the worst part is that I have 25 jokers .. tho I've seen runs of people with hundreds

perhaps it happens due to rounding errors?

[versed bough]

how long is this video gonna be? as in its actual time length

[sturdy canyon]

omfg

[sturdy canyon]

like 5 mins

[versed bough]

really? surprised jokers is longer than this

sounds epic tho :)

[sturdy canyon]

jokers is longer cause i gotta explain everything

now i have to explain but less

[versed bough]

something that could be cool for the series might be like a tutorial on custom rarities with the new rarity API

would be a short one, but still helpful

[candid verge]

how would you go about using higher textures for cards? I tried replacing it with a higher resolution in the archived 8bitdeck.png but it didnt work

[lean dune]

that should realistically only require these two lovely patches

I'm not aware of any mod that implements this

[tired roost]

how do i implement this as a working mod?

[lean dune]

it very much is a working mod, you just need to shove it in a subfolder in your mods folder

[tired roost]

cuase im just the artist for mods im involved with, i have no idea about what i would need to make mods

[lean dune]

though

this seems like it could be added to steamodded as an option

[tired roost]

so:

Mods > UnlockableMod > [the text as .lua]

??

[lean dune]

location is correct, except you don't mess with the filename, just leave it as lovely.toml

[versed bough]

lol how

[tired roost]

oh straight to lovley
i thought to put it as all other mods would be

[lean dune]

wdym

[tired roost]

does it go in its own folder here, or does it go to the lovely folder?

[lean dune]

it goes in its own folder, like i said

Mods > UnlockableMod > lovely.toml

[lean dune]

lmao i actually missed that there's another occurrence of the line in the first patch, this also enables discoveries

[tired roost]

well i meant discoveries, like when jokers are shown as the translucent lock in the collection, i want those to be unlocked after finding them in the chalange runs

[lean dune]

unlocks are when you fulfill an unlock condition

discovery is when you find the card in-game

this somewhat unintentionally handles both

[tired roost]

well then great

did what i wanted while it was trying to do what it misunderstood

[gilded vortex]

You need to write your own mod to do it

But it’s easy with Steamodded

I have a template that’s easy t change if you want to

In fact, if you have Steamodded, you already have the template, because it’s included in it

(Although I should update it since they pushed a fix to an issue I avoided in the Template)

[candid verge]

ooh that sounds great thank you

[gilded vortex]

Do you have Steamodded?

Well, you might need to update it anyways

[candid verge]

no but i will gladly install it now

[gilded vortex]

Since the template was included only recently

Here are the instructions https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/311

The only caveat is that I don’t explain how to increase the resolution

[lean dune]

don't you just need to change the atlas dimensions?

[gilded vortex]

Yes

In my template, besides changing the other contents as explained, you should change these dimensions to the one you want

[candid verge]

could you change the atlas using archive and finding the code there?

[gilded vortex]

You can do it without Steamodded, but such changes would be overridden whenever Balatro updated

You also wouldn’t be able to share them

This also allows you to change textures in-game if that fancies you

[candid verge]

ooh so steamodded is just way better for this

[gilded vortex]

Here’s a showcase of me using two different Deck textures, a vanilla and a modded one, as well as a Joker texture mod

Also some other mods

[tired roost]

found my man in a chalange, lets see if he got discovered and if the mods works

nope

[gilded vortex]

Why is the hospital on fire

[sturdy canyon]

how the fuck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDxsA29yGFI anyways

[pure slate]

yipee!

i've been needing thisa

[tired roost]

well, i think it doesent work

[tired roost]

.

[gilded vortex]

I don’t know if it counts Challenges

[warm pasture]

cards can't be discoverd in a challenge

[tired roost]

thats the thing, thats what i was looking for, a mod that makes discoveries possible in chalanges

[warm pasture]

ah

[heavy oasis]

thank you

[lean dune]

oh whoops, i was looking at my lovely dumps and didn't realize there was another patch from another mod there

this should work

[alpine cosmos]

would this be a good place for brainstorming a mod concept?

im, planning on making an expansion pack to fusion jokers with 15 new fusions

and i still need a few ideas for some

[gilded vortex]

Grös Michael and Verdant Green fusion

[pure slate]

it is, so go ahead

[alpine cosmos]

radical

soo

Medium - Sixth Sense + Seance - Creates a Spectral if hand contains a Straight and a Six
Power Pop - Diet Cola + Throwback - When skipping a blind, creates an additional tag.
Reach the Stars - Raised Fist + Shoot the Moon - Cards in hand give Mult equal to their rank.
Market Crash - To the Moon + Credit Card - Go up to -$50 in debt. Earn 2 dollars of interest for every -$5 you have at end of round
Master's Degree - Scholar + Certificate - When round begins, add a random enhanced Ace to your hand
Prosopagnosia - Pareidolia + Faceless Joker - Gives $1 for each card discarded.
Energy Drink - Runner + Ice Cream - Gain +30 chips if hand contains a straight. -5 chips for each hand played.
Fresh Boxers - Spare Trousers + Square Joker - This Joker gains +4 Mult and +8 chips if played hand is a Two Pair and has exactly 4 cards.
Over and Out - Walkie Talkie + Sock and Buskin - Retriggers all cards if scoring hand contains a 10 and a 4.
Bull Rider - Matador + Bull - +2 chips for each $1 you have. Doubles money if this triggers boss blind. (Max $20) 
Stage Manager - Showman + Invisible Joker - Every 2 rounds, creates a copy of a random Joker. (Must have space)
Timekeeper - Blue Joker + Delayed Gratification - +2 Chips for each remaining card in deck. Chips is doubled if no discards are used.

[gilded vortex]

I guess my suggestion didn't go through

[alpine cosmos]

whats verdant green though

you mean like, verdant leaf??? jsdhsjhsd

[gilded vortex]

[alpine cosmos]

that isnt exactly a joker fusion though-

[gilded vortex]

It is a fusion and it has a joker

[versed bough]

i mean

cross-item fusion is cool

[alpine cosmos]

ignoring victin now

[alpine cosmos]

I mean y e a h but im not sure if thats feasible?? 😭

[versed bough]

not with blinds but

it works with consumables

[alpine cosmos]

oh!

[versed bough]

as demonstrated in the Infinite Fusion mod

[alpine cosmos]

iiinteresting

[gilded vortex]

I mean, what ideas are you missing

[alpine cosmos]

just need 3 more ideas really

planning on doing a full 15

[candid verge]

when it comes to this how do I fill it out? "local atlas_key = 'PREFIX_NAMEOFCHOICE' -- Format: PREFIX_KEY" im using the deckskintemplate included with steamodded

[gilded vortex]

Maybe Grös Michel and Ice Cream for Banana Split

[alpine cosmos]

oh maybe

[versed bough]

then you'd need one for cavenidhs

Cavendish and Ice Cream

[gilded vortex]

The PREFIX is the prefix you defined, while the name is whatever you want

[alpine cosmos]

trying not to do overlap between jokers, but,, good concept i can fall back on!

[versed bough]

oh heres an idea - Four Fingers + Shortcut

[alpine cosmos]

ooooh

what would it be, like, thematically?

[versed bough]

Heterosexual Joker /j

[pure slate]

Workplace Accident /s

[alpine cosmos]

pfft

[warm pasture]

Three fingers

[alpine cosmos]

hmm,,

[gilded vortex]

https://tenor.com/view/stanford-pines-gravity-falls-grunkle-ford-bill-cipher-sixer-gif-8800570312756749005

Six Fingers

[versed bough]

art is journal 3 with the words Joker scribbled on it

/j

[alpine cosmos]

oh! Corner Cutting - Four Fingers + Shortcut - Straights can be made with only 3 cards

maybe

[versed bough]

okay yeah but wheres the shortcut in that

its not really worth it over the 2 jokers on their own

[gilded vortex]

Make another fusion for it that allows Straights to be made with only 2 cards called Monogamy

[alpine cosmos]

fair point

[versed bough]

wait wait

heres a fun one

Steel Joker + Glass Joker - Enhanced Joker

[gilded vortex]

Odd Todd + Even Steven = Romeo & Juliet

[alpine cosmos]

that already exists in base fusion jokers

[alpine cosmos]

oooh interesting

[gilded vortex]

what's base fusion jokers

[alpine cosmos]

,,like

this is an expansion mod to fusion jokers

[pure slate]

Odd Todd + Even Steven: Normal Nancy

[versed bough]

waitwait, is there a constellation and astronomer fusion

that'd be PERFECT

[alpine cosmos]

oooh good point!

og fusion jokers had constellation + supernova

[pure slate]

what about cartomancer (the tarot one) + seance? maybe it could give any spectral card when 6 is played?

or a spectral and tarot card?

[gilded vortex]

Blue Joker + Hologram = Hatsune Miku

[pure slate]

😭

[alpine cosmos]

oooh, feels a little bit too powerful

[pure slate]

true, i wanst sure of a good idea tbh 😭

[gilded vortex]

Luchador + Chicot = Luchicor

[alpine cosmos]

you're just saying stuff

[gilded vortex]

A bit

[alpine cosmos]

nah nah its cool

brainstorming is nice anw

[pure slate]

ty mwah~1

drunkard + on the bus: traffic jam

[gilded vortex]

What would Luchador + Chicot do tho

[versed bough]

Reverse all Boss Blind effects

like the double chicot bug

the water gives you the amount of discards you have

[pure slate]

that sounds.. kinda broken 😭

[versed bough]

the needle gives you back hands

etc.

[gilded vortex]

Bunco did it

[alpine cosmos]

all hands can be made with one less card?

[pure slate]

ooooh

nice

[gilded vortex]

Single Ace is Pair

[pure slate]

-# woudlnt that make high card unplayable

[alpine cosmos]

yea

[pure slate]

raisedcateyebrow~2

[gilded vortex]

Marble Joker + Seal of Authenticity

[gilded vortex]

Just play an empty hand

[alpine cosmos]

will have to reconsider though because last i remember, poker hand logic was a pain 😭

[pure slate]

marble joker + scholar: archaeologist (gives a buff to every stone card played?)

[alpine cosmos]

oooh

[pure slate]

maybe it gains chips for every stone card played?

[alpine cosmos]

hmmm

[pure slate]

something along those lines, you get it raisedcateyebrow~2

[gilded vortex]

not Geologist?

[versed bough]

with so many ideas

[pure slate]

MorganTrue

[versed bough]

might as well make this more than 15

lol

[alpine cosmos]

fair fair

i just like rounding to 15

[pure slate]

i thought of marble as roman statues, so archaeology

[gilded vortex]

No feature creep

[pure slate]

tbh i do need joker ideas, so this is good to do for other mods too

[gilded vortex]

Burning Joker + Rocket = Missile

I've also been wanting some simple Joker ideas to get back into Joker making

[pure slate]

deletes the discarded hand /s

[gilded vortex]

(Nevermind my list of ideas)

[pure slate]

mood

[versed bough]

ok

heres a rare one

Canio + Yorick - x1 Mult for every face card discarded

[pure slate]

rocket + space joker: interplanetary joker
-# i dont have an idea for this one, but something to do with planets

[versed bough]

this is broken

[alpine cosmos]

Sculpture - Marble Joker + Ancient Joker - Upon selecting a blind, creates a stone card. Stone cards give 2 xmult when scored

[pure slate]

ooooh, nice

i'd make it something like 1.5x or 1.75x

but nice

[versed bough]

thoughts on this

[alpine cosmos]

fair fair

[alpine cosmos]

oooh interesting

[gilded vortex]

Vampire + Luchador = Van Hellsing

[pure slate]

based

[gilded vortex]

Vampire + To The Moon = Dracula's Moon Laser

[versed bough]

oh my god

what if you made a fusion

of two fusion jokers

[pure slate]

when does it end then

[versed bough]

since its an addon

[alpine cosmos]

oh my god 😭

[gilded vortex]

Showman + Showman fusion

Then you fuse that fusion with Showman

[pure slate]

showmaster

[alpine cosmos]

ah yes, cards are always the same

[gilded vortex]

Maybe Luchador + Marble Joker could be my Stheno

[pure slate]

smeared joker + splash: Paint Water

1. all wild cards are retriggered
2. 2 suits are chosen randomly to be the same, every round

[gilded vortex]

Stheno replaces every non-Showdown Boss with The Rock

[pure slate]

i like both ideas

but idk

[pure slate]

shouldnt it be sisphyus /s

[pure slate]

mimimmiimim

[gilded vortex]

Sisyphus couldn't turn people into stone

[pure slate]

fair enough

[gilded vortex]

Hiker + Stone Joker = Sisyphus

[pure slate]

gains 5+ chips every hand, and gives its gained chips to every card played, but resets when a stone card is played

[alpine cosmos]

Ceremonial Dagger + Madness: Sacrificial Altar
When blind selected, destroys adjacent Jokers and gains xMult equal to a fifth of their sell value

[gilded vortex]

I think it should encourage playing Stone cards

not the other way around

[alpine cosmos]

i mean

[pure slate]

i thought so too, but that works more with sispshyus so i kept it 😭

maybe its reverse? gains chips when stone cards are played, reverts when no stone card played?

[gilded vortex]

Maybe

[versed bough]

can you make art for these yourself?

i'd love to help

but if you dont need it

[alpine cosmos]

i can! but like

if you're offering

[versed bough]

i specifically wanna make reach for the stars

it seems cool

[alpine cosmos]

ooooh

[tired roost]

it works :)

[alpine cosmos]

fair enough! reach the stars is a fun concept so like id happily accept if you offer help!

[tired roost]

ah yes, my fav joker effect

error

[tardy sierra]

A.K.A, stronger

[tired roost]

exept for that its broken

[tired roost]

.

[sturdy canyon]

such a legendary edition huh

[tardy sierra]

I mean, at least it's huge, and can probably be sold for a lot.

[sturdy canyon]

it gave me 9$

[sturdy canyon]

why do you have your play hand to the right

you disgust me /j

[tired roost]

i think i need to get this pinned or something xD
every time i do any screen cap, people ask this, and its cause it just was like this when i turned the game on, and i have no reason to change it

maybe i downloaded balatro in a version that had a bug that had this on by accident

and it saved as my settings

[sturdy canyon]

ima be real

more mods should have unlocks

as far as i know

i know like 2 mods that do

1. bunco

[alpine cosmos]

i think its just hard to implement

[sturdy canyon]

2. me

[sturdy canyon]

its not 😭

[alpine cosmos]

oh-

[sturdy canyon]

you just have an additional function and set unlocked to false

[pure slate]

i have one joker that is locked by default

i want to add more, its just a pain in the ass 😭

[sturdy canyon]

like cmon be real unlocks are awesome

[versed bough]

what if

Jimbo's Pack Pack - which gives jimbos pack jokers

lol

[sturdy canyon]

Jimbo's Pack's Jimbo

[versed bough]

+4.44 Mult

[tired roost]

Mod Idea:

adding stakes to Chalange Mode

[sturdy canyon]

chat new rtgame upload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhvVbUCf8vc

[candid verge]

is there any wiki I can read thatll teach me how to make mods for balatro

[limpid lake]

yes, this one: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started

[gilded vortex]

is this for the texture mod?

[sturdy canyon]

yall ever desperately try to build a deck but you have the worst fuckin luck ever

im tryna build a Negative Steel Jack run except im never encountering my negative jacks nor am i encountering hanged men

im BARELY surviving

[candid verge]

no pretty much any mod, I wanna get familiar with balatros code

[gilded vortex]

I think the Steamodded wiki would help, as well as checking out the example mods and other mods

[sturdy canyon]

why is this uncommon

mime is uncommon

and does this all the time

[dapper mica]

yeah this should just be common

[versed bough]

anyone have a suggestion for a challenge for modded

[limpid lake]

start with a negative eternal gift card and $15, gain no blind money, hand money, or interest

[valid cairn]

Guys do you have the balatro mod skill tree

For me

[limpid lake]

#1279275441009459222

[elfin badger]

Is there a good dark theme mod for balatro?

[sweet flame]

I want to help with a balatro mod; but all I can really do is art and ideas
so if anyone needs an artist or something I'd love to be part of your mod team

[tired roost]

my first thourght when i saw this was "Gregory"

[sweet flame]

groggy gregory
(all played cards gain one permanent mult, but lose 3 chip value)

[tired roost]

well, my people on NLM (me and minirebel) already are planning a similar one.
"Dishonor"
When a card scores, give that card +1 mult (like hiker)

originating from me having a dream about a joker called "Dishonor" that "destroyed every card that was driving above the speed limit"

the in-dream Dishonor was a Viking driving a Truck

[sweet flame]

i see

my me joker is currently a skin for hiker so I was thinking in that mindset haha

[tired roost]

it was way back, and someone actualy make a fanart of my dream

[limpid lake]

you wanna contribute art for my mod #1308185262664450068, you are welcome to do so
(this is true of anyone who wants to, actually, but you volunteered so :p)

[dapper mica]

only planet cards spawn in the shop, start with an eternal constellation

[tired roost]

having the eternal constellation would make it very much not a chalange tho...

[radiant root]

i recently downloaded some mods and for some reason when i use a planet card the level up on the left of the screen doesnt show up (planet card still works). anyone know how to fix this?

[sweet flame]

i've been using your mod for a while because it was part of a modpack; cool to find the creator

[tired roost]

i wish i could see a count of all unique accounts that have downloaded the mod, would be cool to see how big NLM is

[umbral pilot]

is it on github?

[tired roost]

ya

[haughty anvil]

Balatro mods no longer work!!

[tired roost]

https://tenor.com/view/works-on-my-machine-ryan-gosling-works-on-my-gif-24523830

[sweet flame]

?

like, no mods whatsoever?

[tired roost]

prob Lovely got targeted

common windows defender L

[limpid lake]

latest version of steamodded changes something with json metadata; some stub mods i made today for a bug report don't work with it
i didn't check it with the old header format though

[radiant root]

anyone know?

[limpid lake]

iirc nopeus puts an option in the settings menu to fast forward planets, which might be causing behavior like this

[latent nimbus]

is animation skip enabled on talisman

[limpid lake]

if you wanna do science you can disable one mod at a time til it stops happening

[radiant root]

where can i find that?

[limpid lake]

mods -> talisman -> config

[tired roost]

once had to do it with Lethal Company mods

pain whn you have like 50

[radiant root]

no

[exotic shadow]

You can also disable half the mods, if it happens then disable half of your current mods and retry, else enable half of the disabled mods and retryh

this is known as bisecting

[limpid lake]

yep
i was basically in the middle of typing that out

[exotic shadow]

tbh I could probably make a mod / tool to make bisecting mods for balatro

[haughty anvil]

well it does not work on mine. the current loader is broken

does not download any exe to click on

[tranquil vessel]

yeah the json metadata format got changed

it's only for dependencies and conflicts iirc

[limpid lake]

there are no exes in balatro modding

[limpid lake]

and lol, it was specifically an oddity with conflicts that i was testing, which explains that

[tranquil vessel]

the format changed from

  [
    {
      "id": "Steamodded",
      "min_version": "1.0.0~",
      "max_version": "2.0.0"
    },
    {
      "id": "MyMod",
      "min_version": "0.0.1",
    },
  ]

to

  [
    "Steamodded (>=1.0.0~) (<=2.0.0)",
    "MyMod (>=0.0.1)"
  ]

I believe (I didn't test this)

[radiant root]

for some reason when i play a card the number that usually pops up above it is not there, the card still works normally (if i play a 3, there is no "+3" above it)

anyone know how to fix this?

[tranquil vessel]

Sounds similar to your previous issue (planet levels don't show). Did you manage to fix that one?

[radiant root]

nope

[tranquil vessel]

what's your modlist?

[radiant root]

Loop, Fusion jokers, debug plus, Jens library, more fluff, tailsman, nopeus, cryptid, incantation, aurinko and jens almanac

[tranquil vessel]

nopeus and talisman both have animation skipping methods iirc

[radiant root]

they do but its off

[tardy sierra]

Did Kailen leave this server as well?

[tranquil vessel]

talisman's settings are in the mod menu, while nopeus has all its settings in the main esc menu I believe

[tardy sierra]

Nope, hold on, I think he might've just blocked me, that's why I can't see which servers he's on.

[radiant root]

that fixed the numbers. thanks

and the planets

[tranquil vessel]

so which mod was it? nopeus?

[radiant root]

tailsman

[lean dune]

why do that when you can achieve the same thing much faster by bisecting

[formal wedge]

well they did suggest bisecting immediately after

[red warren]

just wondering how other people go about this as i try out mods for the first time; do y'all make a new profile for modded gameplay? Will using my existing one corrupt it?

[haughty anvil]

hidden aces is a exe mod. but i digress. the steammodded was an exe loader as well. its not any more. it also does not work.

[tranquil vessel]

I suggest making a new profile - you are sure to mess up any statistics on your main profile (such as collection %), and it'd suck if a mod ever broke your savefile by accident

it usually doesn't "corrupt" it, you can mix the 2 if you want

I just suggest not doing it

[red warren]

gotcha, that was what i was planning to do, thanks!

[tranquil vessel]

steamodded now uses lovely for easier injection

[haughty anvil]

i tried lovely too and it still didn't work..? I wonder what I am doing wrong?

[tranquil vessel]

what does "didn't work mean"?

[lean dune]

yeah i didn't read that far down, mb

[haughty anvil]

means i did what the instructions said and i still did not get the mod "section" in the beginning of the game.

i mean all that comes in the lovely is a version.dll right?

can you lay it out for me. what i should download and where to put it?

[limpid lake]

read this https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector?tab=readme-ov-file#manual-installation and do what it says
then read this https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#installing-steamodded and do what it says

(for clarity, you almost certainly want the 1.0.0 alpha of steamodded. almost all current mods require it.)

[pure slate]

i'd love to have someone who can do exactly that 😭 its completely up to you if you want to help - im currently trying to improve myself at pixel art and any help would be super useful

[pearl dove]

d'yall like this tarot sprite?

yes i know the numbers are weird i gave up and made them squiggles

[brisk seal]

tarot 100

[tacit zealot]

I want to argue it should be a multiple of 12

but looks good

[pearl dove]

hm, maybe

[brisk seal]

sprite looks nice tho

[pearl dove]

i put it down as C because it's the first custom one

(in my mod)

CXII

[tacit zealot]

I was thinking more CXX since that's a multiple of 12

CVIII would also be a multiple of 12, at 108, but I don't think it's as clean

[pearl dove]

CXX is also a multiple of 24 and yk number of hours and all

there :>

[tacit zealot]

you now have 5 days to implement this tarot card
what'll it even do?

[pearl dove]

apply random seal to selected card

[tacit zealot]

fun

[pure slate]

i like it

[pearl dove]

i'm getting this error when trying to create the template object and i'm not totally sure why?

code that makes it explode:

SMODS.Atlas {
    key = 'timtotatl',
    path = "t_tim.png",
    px = 71,
    py = 95,
}

SMODS.Consumable {
    name = "Time",
    key = "t_tim",
    atlas = 'timtotatl',
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Time',
        text = { 'Apply random seal',
                 'to selected card' }
    },
    cost = 2,
    unlocked = true,
    discovered = true
}

[tacit zealot]

you didn't specify a set

[pearl dove]

IM SO DUMB thank you there is like no documentation on consumables from what i can find

[tacit zealot]

a video on the matter released, like, yesterday
but yeah I'm not particularly happy that the best source of information is scraping the base game or existing mods

for my next consumable I need to look into how to praise rngesus by picking a random rank

[pearl dove]

mine is random seal so LMAO

[tacit zealot]

I've got 23 other consumables done at least

[pearl dove]

congrats!!!

[tacit zealot]

it's probably not as impressive when you learn that 13 of them are basically the same, and another 9 are also basically the same
but hey that's still 3 different families of consumables

[vague sphinx]

Had an idea for a mod I will undoubtedly come to regret

Balatro but it's set

[tacit zealot]

I'd be quite impressed if you can pull that off, because it sounds like you'd need to throw out a lot of things to make it work

[vague sphinx]

Oh definitely, I don't imagine being done with this anytime soon

just something to work on between blinds

[maiden kiln]

I'm doing some texture mods for my wife's copy of Balatro for Christmas. I'm trying to figure out how to make a certain card display on the main menu at start up where the Ace of Spades usually goes. My experience with modding is essentially zero (one for one replacements of texture assets and a few localization changes.) Any help would be awesome.

[exotic shadow]

you probably would need a lovely patch for that

[daring sluice]

can always dig through cryptid code to see how it's done there. probably just as simple as making a scaled-up card and inserting it into the main menu card area

[exotic shadow]

yeah in game.lua the ace is defined here

[maiden kiln]

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

[sturdy canyon]

oh ma gah

[sturdy canyon]

man

how am i so unlucky bro

i failed a 2/3 chance 4 times in a row

im lucky but like on a bad day

[sharp tartan]

how do you mod balatro?

[brisk seal]

do you know lua?

[sharp tartan]

i dont unfortunately

[brisk seal]

u need to know lua

if u plan on making mods

for downloading, you need lovely (beta6) and Steamodded (technically not required but a large amount of mods are dependent on it)

[sharp tartan]

ah okay, thank you very much!

[brisk seal]

np

[graceful sundial]

Hum.. I don't think jimbo is feeling so good guys

[brisk seal]

yes... that is Jimbo...

[sturdy canyon]

buy it

its actually a joker that gives 5000 mult

[sturdy canyon]

Yeah

[hard shore]

hello

im a new player to this game

i tried to download the talisman mod but it kept giving me a error

[nimble pawn]

which error?

[young pine]

think i beat cryptid

what should i choose?

[hard shore]

hey sorry for the VERY late reply (was busy with someing imporant) but it was "[SMAStalisman "steammodded_metadata.lua"]:56: attempt to index global 'Talisman" [a nil value]" i only coppied the top part

[lean dune]

make sure you don't have nested folders

[lost scroll]

can someone help me

trying out jen mod

it crash

[hard shore]

hey look we have the same problem

[hard shore]

what is a nested foler?

fodller*

[lean dune]

do you have another Talisman folder inside your Talisman folder?

[hard shore]

nope

nvm manged to fix the problem

still thanks though!

[azure vale]

how did you fix it

i might be facing the same issue

[lost scroll]

i removed all my mods and put jenpack it worked

[hard shore]

i removed the "-main" in everymod (including steamodded)

so like

steamodded-main -> steamodded

[lean dune]

that doesn't matter for most mods

including steamodded

but it does matter for talisman

[willow ledge]

is there any documentation available regarding the game's RNG mechanics, like how cards are determined according to the seed?

[warm pasture]

If you want you could just look at the games source code

[willow ledge]

I've been trying, but I'm not familiar with lua

[warm pasture]

Yeah that's tough. I would try maybe learning a bit of lua first. The rng might also be from the LOVE2D engine itself which would mean you would have to look there but I'm not sure. I think people would know more in #💻・modding-dev if you wanna ask there.

[tacit zealot]

I did end up finding pseudorandom and pseudoseed yesterday for my own work, the two combined got me able to pick a random rank

[coral shale]

👀

[twilit stirrup]

Unless i did something wrong i can't seem to get the Mod Menu to show up because i was following this https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started

[sturdy canyon]

ima be honest

more people should use negative playing cards

it is a perfect concept

[warm pasture]

Steamodded recently changed the dependancy versioning syntax with no documentation

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/315/commits/fc6fe0db27400c238149adccdb99f80ce8505b69

[sturdy canyon]

its literally a free card held in hand

perfect for steel king baron runs

[twilit stirrup]

I see because i thought i was doing something wrong

[latent nimbus]

cryptid has negative playing cards
and its mostly just cryptid

[twilit stirrup]

So how do you make it work in that case? @warm pasture

[warm pasture]

I haven't

[lean dune]

oh right i should update the docs 💀

[twilit stirrup]

So i should use the newest Release version?

[sturdy canyon]

yeah thats what im saying

theres only like 2 mods that use negative playing cards

#1219749193204371456 and #1248287850512781452

[warm pasture]

I think some of the code might be wrong too, could be wrong but from what I can tell line 92 of the loader trys to use the :gmatch method on the object instead of calling to the string.gmatch method

[sturdy canyon]

antiparticle my beloved ❤️

[lean dune]

that's equally valid so long as we're handling strings

[warm pasture]

Cool thinks, also am I crazy or this just incomplete regex?

[lean dune]

which we do under the new format, but i need to document that

it's not regex, it's lua patterns

basically regex but less powerful

[warm pasture]

Damn then what's with the open parens

[lean dune]

ugh that should actually be optional

[warm pasture]

I made an issue about it if you wanna close it when you finish https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/issues/322

[lean dune]

I'm on the docs rn, really should have done that sooner

[warm pasture]

Yeah it's fine, just glad we caught it sooner rather than later

[twilit stirrup]

I take it i should wait until everything is fixed before trying to mod it

[warm pasture]

Yes

[twilit stirrup]

I see

[tranquil vessel]

you can use the old method with the header in the meantime, it'll still be accepted

you can change it to the json metadata once it's less... messy

[twilit stirrup]

So how do you do that

[lean dune]

docs are updated, lmk if anything is unclear I'll try to fix it later

[warm pasture]

Thx, it seems pretty clear

[twilit stirrup]

I don't see it in the github @tranquil vessel

[lean dune]

I updated the docs, you can go off that for the json

[twilit stirrup]

I take it this is the doc?
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started

[lean dune]

yes indeed

[twilit stirrup]

Unless i'm misreading the doc it seem all the mods already have the needed info unless i did something wrong at the unzipping the downloaded zip file

[sturdy canyon]

and it does work

[west hill]

Are you just trying to install mods?

[twilit stirrup]

Yes because i'm not crazy enough to try and code my own one

[west hill]

Oh then don’t worry about any of the stuff that’s being discussed

Just download them and put them in the right folder

[twilit stirrup]

So what do i need in that case because mods say i need Lovely and Steamodded

[west hill]

Yes those are the first things to get

[twilit stirrup]

So i must've did something wrong with unzipping the Steamodded file in that case

[twilit stirrup]

I don't understand what part i should move into the Mod folder because doing it say and only having the core file don't work same with dropping the whole thing in

[lean dune]

oh sorry I thought this was about smth else, don't mind me

have you put lovely's version.dll in the game folder?

[twilit stirrup]

Yes because the version.dll should be in the game folder and Steamodded is in the Mods Folder

[odd flax]

Steam Game Directory, put lovely's version.dll in it
Roaming Appdata Directory, create Mods folder in Balatro, then put Steamodded in it

[west hill]

Can you screenshot both folders with file paths?

[twilit stirrup]

Steamodded is in the Mods Folder

[west hill]

The mods folder doesn’t go there

It goes in %appdata/Balatro

[sturdy canyon]

more negativity....

[twilit stirrup]

The Doc should be updated in that case?

[west hill]

Look up 2 instructions

[twilit stirrup]

My bad

[oblique basin]

Are there any mods that can lik change the colors of High Contrast Cards setting

[twilit stirrup]

Okay i must've done something wrong because i'm 100% sure it shouldn't break like it did

[west hill]

No worries! We could maybe make that line a bit clearer regardless

[west hill]

Oh I think this is actually a bug in the newest commit of smods that needs fixing

[lean dune]

💀

[twilit stirrup]

So removing everything but the Core Folder give me "engine/sprite.lua;9; attempt to indie field atlas [a nil value]

[lean dune]

removing random files surely won't help

[lean dune]

this is fixed, my bad

[twilit stirrup]

I should redownload right?

[lean dune]

yes

[twilit stirrup]

So for the record what should i do if the game break because it say that it can't find a lua in the place it was looking despite the file being there

[lean dune]

can I see the error message?

[lean dune]

yeah that looks to be a bug with the mod mentioned

[crimson stump]

Just tried modding Balatro for the first time, and I think my Steam Modded isn't working. When I boot up Balatro I do not see a Mods menu.

The instructions at https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started are a bit unclear to me. I'm on Windows 10 and have tried downloading the 1.0.0 alpha and extracting everything in my save folder ...\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods .

The files from the zip are now in ...\AppData\Roaming\Balatro\Mods\Steamodded-main

[lean dune]

Have you installed lovely? The link to it is right at the top of the page

[twilit stirrup]

Steam Modded and the mod folder should be in the Balatro folder in %Appdata%

[crimson stump]

That's probably it. Thought the injector instructions were for the older releases but I must have mixed some sets of instructions up.

[lean dune]

that part looks to be correct

[opaque grotto]

How do I mod balatro, is there any web or anything i should know?

[crimson stump]

Yeah, I noticed the discrepancy. When I move it, it doesn't seem to fix anything though. I think it might be a folder structure diff between win 11 and win 10 or somesuch.

[lean dune]

https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector just install this as per instructions in the readme

%AppData%/Balatro when expanded is just C:/Users/<you>/AppData/Roaming/Balatro, no issues there

steamodded just can't function on its own, you need lovely for it

[lean dune]

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

[opaque grotto]

thx

[lean dune]

you'll find most mods in #1209506514763522108

[crimson stump]

Installing Lovely seemed to be the missing piece. Now I'm getting crash on startup though:

[lean dune]

you'll see if you read up a bit that I fixed this exact issue an hour or so ago

you just need to download steamodded again

[crimson stump]

Ok, that was really weird. Deleted Steamodded-main and extracted it again but it didn't work. Downloaded (as far as I can tell) the same exact file again and extracted it and it did work.

[lean dune]

that's not weird at all actually

I updated the repository, so you needed to download again to fetch the changes

[crimson stump]

Huh, my timing must have been absolutely terrible though since I downloaded not long ago and checked that the new file at first glance appeared identical in size. 🙂

Thanks a ton for the speedy assistance.

[lean dune]

yep I fixed it an hour ago and it was a one-line change

[coral shale]

Does Steamodded ever add tabs (or any options) to this settings menu?

[lean dune]

it used to have a hide mod badges option there, but now it's all in its own menu

(tab under mods button)

[coral shale]

good, I'll put my mod's settings as a separate tab there

[lean dune]

it's generally not recommended to put mod settings into the game settings tab

it gets overloaded easily if multiple mods do it

there's not really a better option if you don't rely on steamodded though

[coral shale]

should be fine in a separate tab

[exotic shadow]

does your mod use steamodded?

[coral shale]

pure lovely

[exotic shadow]

makes sense

then yeah you pretty much have to add it there

you can have a SMODS mod that will load config if SMODS is present

thats what talisman and DebugPlus do

[upbeat locust]

Does modding allow for me to use the mod and still beat stakes?

[river lark]

Yea?

Y wouldn't it?

[upbeat locust]

cause seeded runs dont

[river lark]

Interesting i never knew

[past dove]

does mods break seeded runs or why am i getting different results on the same seed compared to mobile?

[gilded vortex]

Steamodded by itself shouldn't, at least in theory, but other mods could affect it

For example, if it selects a random Joker, but a mod adds extra Jokers, it could select different Jokers

[past dove]

what about lovely?

[gilded vortex]

I don't think lovely by itself should affect anything either

It could be a mobile/PC different

but if you think Steamodded by itself is affect RNG, maybe comment in the Steamodded thread

[past dove]

the first ante was consisent in terms of cards, but the packs seemed off by 1

[gilded vortex]

@lean dune car summoning

[rigid jewel]

Fix was found and in a PR already

[past dove]

for my issue you mean?

[rigid jewel]

Yes

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/317/files#diff-1244365980b014360d608296dee43a354a3c9aab4c5c2d8ab4b9bc5a6fa63a1f

rarity_poll > 1 - (weight_i) -> rarity_poll < weight_i

[past dove]

so do i just go to the files and replace line 717 with the new code or how do i implement it?

[tranquil vessel]

You might just want to use the code me and flowwey had on flowwey's branch

Uhh on the other hand its also 32 commits behind

[lean dune]

I can merge that rn

would have done it right away if you said it affects RNG actually

done

[tranquil vessel]

Oh cheers, thanks

@past dove try the latest steamodded?

[past dove]

alr

i downloaded the new verison

going to double check the guide to update so i dont accidently mess up

works now

thank you very much

[upbeat locust]

i need help modding balatro i cant seem to figure it out even with online tutorials

[lean dune]

what step are you stuck on?

[upbeat locust]

one

;;

[lean dune]

uh what do i make of this

we can jump on a call if you want

[upbeat locust]

that would be helpful

please and thank you

Howdy hi! So, felt like installing Cryptid after watching a few videos, and I saw it needs somethings called Lovely, Steamodded and Talisman? But right away, apparently my Chrome is blocking the Lovely download and saying it's dangerous - was wondering if there was a loophole to this? ^^

(Hope this is the right place to ask this. xD)

[gilded vortex]

if you want you can authorize the download through Chrome

or just use another browser

if you trust lovely

[teal grove]

Is it... absolutely needed?

[gilded vortex]

yes

[latent nimbus]

100%

[teal grove]

Weird, it just... doesn't even give me an option to download it anyway.

[gilded vortex]

it's hidden

IIRC you need to go to your downloads page

chrome://downloads/

[teal grove]

There we go, got it.

Had to pause real-time protection on Windows, too.

[gilded vortex]

Make sure it doesn't decide to delete it after you turn it on again

I had to whitelist the file

[teal grove]

I made an exception for the Balatro folder, so I'm gonna wait until it's in there, yea.

[gilded vortex]

that works too

I preferred to only whitelist the individual file

[warm pasture]

Joker idea: when this joker is bought immediately sell it

[teal grove]

...So uhhhh...
I assume there's a mod somewhere for skipping animations?

[teal grove]

Ohhhhh, it's in there, cool.

[brisk venture]

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/jevfQvjM3hnHJSl3p?invite=cr-MSxYdk4sMzAyNDY5NDg1LA i spent 30 minutes trying for this

i optimixed it seeded and got like one second better

[limpid lake]

yeah lovely works by injecting code into balatro
it's never used for anything nefarious in lovely's case but this is the sort of thing viruses do, so antivirus programs dutifully throw it in the brig

(i mean maybe people could make it do nefarious things if they wanted. idfk love2d programming.)

[warm pasture]

Very much so, it's a rust program that directly injects lua code into an exe, and since lua code can run C libs, it can basically do whatever you want.

But if the mod is made up of just lua files you should be fine, but don't quote me on that

[stiff roost]

hey qq. I'm going to search through the channel in a sec, but is there an alternate way to load aside from the lovely+steamodded solution?

[warm pasture]

Yeah, but why

[daring sluice]

using the luajit C ffi you can execute pure C with exclusively lua files
also, you can arbitrarily run shell commands via os.execute

also unrestrained http requests, access to any file in the filesystem accessible via usermode, etc etc its just a bad time

[warm pasture]

But balatro mods :)

[daring sluice]

truee

it helps that nothing is compiled so you can just look at the code locally

technically you could precompile your stuff in a way but regardless

would be suuuper suspicous if you did that xd

[warm pasture]

Hahaha yeah…

Completed unrelated: Anyone know where I can find the subsection of modded balatro players who are government employees.

[daring sluice]

first ever balatro malware /j

[stiff roost]

because I prefer my mods not to have to be workarounds, even when they're legit.

[warm pasture]

What? It’s not a workaround it’s literally one of the most fundamental forms of modding??? (Injection that is)

[daring sluice]

if you dont want your mods to be workarounds then use lovely

its very simple to use lovely and not steamodded

that or use lovely to load and have a dummy steamodded metadata file so it shows up for steamodded users

[warm pasture]

Yeah if you wanna make mods use lovely, but like if you want to use mods without steamodded good luck

[daring sluice]

also coming into balatro modding with that mindset is really bad considering how early in development it is

everything breaks constantly

[warm pasture]

So true bestie

[daring sluice]

i cant think of one other brick covered in cheese thats better than you

[warm pasture]

It’s kinda like that with all modding without official support? Even Minecraft modding is still chaotic as shit.

[daring sluice]

ya fair

i would think minecraft has their shit together but i really wouldnt know

[warm pasture]

You would think but currently there are 4 different mod loaders competing for dominance

[daring sluice]

on the server plugin side of things its alright i imagine?

[warm pasture]

If you write everything yourself yes, but I mean that’s a hell most people don’t wanna go through

[daring sluice]

are you aware that your status says "palenstine" with two ns

[warm pasture]

I was not

Thx

[daring sluice]

no human should be subjected to the horrors of misspelling a discord status

gotta help a brother out when i can ...

[warm pasture]

I’m mostly saddened by how long it’s been my discord status (some variation on stopping the genocide in Palestine)

[daring sluice]

no human should be subjected to those horrors either

regardless idk if this is the place

[warm pasture]

It’s not… I am an advocate for healthy mental separation so you know, dropping the topic is for the best.

[hexed pumice]

I have no modding experience aside from installing them so help would be greatly appreciated

(i have steam modded 1.0)

How do I rename this fella?

[surreal sonnet]

Sooo uhh when I try to replace the card texture it tells me it's "corrupted"
maybe it's my winrar or something idk, here's the cards btw lol

[pure sedge]

Whata heck?

[river lark]

quick question, how do i get the minimal chips required to beat the blind? (modding wise)

i forgot mr bones has them lol

[gilded vortex]

If you want you can make it into a Steamodded mod. There’s a template included with Steamodded now that should be easy to use

[surreal sonnet]

Oh damn really?!

Fuck yea I need to do that later thanks for telling me :)

[gilded vortex]

Here are the instructions https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/pull/311

[surreal sonnet]

Ty mate

[sturdy canyon]

gotta think of more ways to make Negative cards

[gilded vortex]

They’re quite strong I don’t think you need to make them better 🤔

[sturdy canyon]

there isnt enough interactions with them though....

they cant be lost cause like wild cards

[river lark]

make negative cards be selected beyond 5? like u can have 5 normal cards + 1 negative card

idk if anyone done this already*

[gilded vortex]

You can copy them

I think that’s enough

Free draws are strong

[keen garden]

I think it’d be funny if someone made a mod that makes a bunch of higher or lower rarity versions of already existinf jokers

[river lark]

ngl, thats indeed cool

common jokers stuck behind the soul:

[keen garden]

Tbf, they’d probably have legendary like effects

Something I randomly thought about how, if you think about it a certain way, Hallucination is kinda like a common version of Perkeo’s effect

And then Cardomancer is an Uncommon version of Perkeo/halluncination

And then there’s no- actually following that logic there is a rare version of that with vagabond

According to Balatro University, power doesn’t really affect what rarity a joker gets ranked, since you could just buff up the numbers of any card to make it worthy of being that higher rarity

The main thing that makes a joker’s rarity is how complicated it is, like, most of the time

There are exceptions like the Duo is just an upgrade of Jolly Joker, and offers no extra complexity

But like, Blueprint is pretty complex since the optimal joker layout can change mid-round

Ancient joker requires you to make a specific flush each round, and you’ll probably need to pay attention to what the boss is to see if you need to skip to it or not so you don’t get screwed by bad rng

Campfire you need to find a way to get more cards to sell every round

…Though admittedly there are a few cases that make me question this

Like, Baron is literally just shoot the moon but with better numbers

Why is the former rare and the latter common

I genuinely tweak out trying to get straights for the runner. But find Wee joker to be easier

[river lark]

man u need a forum for dis lol

[keen garden]

Fair. I’m done speaking though

[river lark]

lol

[sturdy canyon]

i have no idea how ui shit works

[west hill]

this doesn't look like anything to do with UI

[sturdy canyon]

its using generate_card_ui

not localization

im tryna figure out how to change a description of something

so that i can display playing card's extra values like Xmult and all

[west hill]

you just need to add extra rows to the description part

[coral shale]

Is there any way to hide a Lovely mod from Steamodded's mod menu? I've got a small tooling library loaded thru Lovely, and it really shouldnt be visible to players if possible

[grand geode]

if you're loading it from a different folder then it'll make a new entry

you can bundle it with your original mod tho

[inner mural]

https://tenor.com/view/the-creature-ai-voice-creature-cow-gif-2415709143944330891

[coral shale]

nah, the whole thing is that I'm using it across multiple of my mods

and it's generally good practice to separate code into single-purpose modules/packages/etc.

[sturdy canyon]

yeah but i suck severely

i dont know how 😭

[gilded vortex]

I have code that does that

It was made for a 0.9.8 mod

I haven't ported that mod out of laziness of updating that part, but it would be an useful API to have

[sturdy canyon]

oo

[gilded vortex]

I think this is the code that does it, for Jokers. The relevant part is the part that reads bonus_chips and bonus_mult

[sturdy canyon]

can i see it
