[hard plank]

you can do it in 3 ways

you can edit the game files directly

or you can try to hack stuff in with just lovely

or you can use the steamodded custom card skin API

you get VAC banned from Steam if you "cheat" in a multiplayer game

[iron scarab]

There's achievement bypassers for like every game on steam
until you start cheating in multiplayer games, you ain't catching a ban

[hard plank]

and if the game uses Valve's anti cheat solution

no achievements just means you don't get achievements

[heavy finch]

i would recommend to save a copy of the original textures, for just in case scenarios. and of course, keep the same name they have with the texture its replace them with

[vestal valve]

am I the only one who names their mod versions like Minecraft snapshots

[queen moat]

That would give me a headache honestly

[hard plank]

i mean it makes sense

[queen moat]

it just feels weird on smth other than minecraft lmao

[hard plank]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

they added chicken variants

[heavy finch]

thats so much fun, but whats the logic behind it? like what does it mean?

[rigid jewel]

Pretty sure this version doesn't even parse lmao

[vestal valve]

25 = the year 2025 (when it was released)
01 = the first version released during that year

[hard plank]

20__25__ __w__eek 01 a

[heavy finch]

see- youd THINK that, but my dumbass self knows no bounds

[hard plank]

not really

the number represents the week 😭

[vestal valve]

oh I didn't even clock the "week" part lmao

i'm stupid

[vestal valve]

its uncanny how easy it is

[hard plank]

a is basically a running number

[iron scarab]

either way

you're like 4 weeks behind

[hard plank]

true

that's what I'm saying

[heavy finch]

ohhhhhh

[hard plank]

current snapshot is 25w05a

[iron scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-there-is-another-star-wars-jedi-gif-5140031

[heavy finch]

OHHH

[hard plank]

actually no

[iron scarab]

it's usually just a

[hard plank]

it's 06a

[iron scarab]

unless they update in the same week

[hard plank]

yes

[vestal valve]

bookmarking this tab rn

[iron scarab]

already 10% through the year, damn

[hard plank]

I've been playing this game for a while to know quite a lot about this block game

[hard plank]

the year just started 😭😭😭😭😭

[queen moat]

i think i underestimated fusion jokers-

[hard plank]

I'm still adapting

[iron scarab]

dawg it's february

[queen moat]

tho tbf four fucking paladins is absurd

[heavy finch]

im just gonna go with my old faithful "1" "2" etc etc lol

[hard plank]

😭😭😭😭

[iron scarab]

i still fucking hate the league patch note changes

[queen moat]

probably american ☕

i can't believe it's feb

[hard plank]

i don't play league fill me in

[iron scarab]

went from season#.patch#
to
year.season.patch#

[hard plank]

oh

[iron scarab]

so 2025.s1.3 is 15.3

[hard plank]

ok the S is kinda stupid

[iron scarab]

it's so you can have s2

and s3

[heavy finch]

is that Jinx? she looks so cool!

[iron scarab]

250 dollars gacha skin

that's worse than every legendary out there

[heavy finch]

jesus-

[iron scarab]

REMEMBER ARCANE

HOW SHE HAD A HOOD

THEY NEEDED TO FUCKING PATCH IT IN AFTER IT CAME OUT

[vestal valve]

what does steamodded's versioning even mean

[iron scarab]

[heavy finch]

SHE DID

HOW DARE THEY?

[iron scarab]

so glad league is dying

anyways, balatro

[heavy finch]

WE NEED AN ARCANE BALATRO CARD SKIN

AND THE JOKERS CAN BE THE HEXCORE

[iron scarab]

nah

jokers should be league characters and there should be consumable items

putting Seraph's on my Luxanna Jimbo 🔥

[hard plank]

nothing anymore

[heavy finch]

Im so ready to make Viktor my king of spades

[uneven stirrup]

ok so i installed the things but i got lost on the video (because im an idiot lmao) what do i do next

[hard plank]

i think it's so funny to see companies spending millions to make a game

and then it dies

[vestal valve]

new version naming scheme dropped

i'll leave it up to you to decipher what it means!!!

[iron scarab]

i think it's hilarious they removed free loot chests because people weren't buying skins
and the skin quality dropped
and like 99% of skins i got from chests I wasn't going to buy anyways

[heavy finch]

if everythings installed all you have to do is make the textures themselves; if you dont have photoshop i sugget Krita

[vestal valve]

(genuinely though, should I swap to x.x.x version numbering or is the minecraft-style versioning fine enough?)

[iron scarab]

it really doens't matter

[vestal valve]

PRIDE VERSIONING????? WOKE MUCH?????? 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡

[heavy finch]

pretty sure i heard somewhere gacha types only have a lifespan of like 5-7 years

[hard plank]

genshin is still going

and it's a 5 years old game

[iron scarab]

not as woke as my banner

[queen moat]

le wokisme

[iron scarab]

🥖

[hard plank]

are you french

[vestal valve]

dont worry I am also woke

[iron scarab]

worse, polish

[hard plank]

oh no

[iron scarab]

nyaaa femboy noises or whatever

[iron scarab]

[hard plank]

(i know at least a few other Polish people)

[heavy finch]

iconic

[iron scarab]

change that /s

[hard plank]

chat how we thinking

[vestal valve]

great joker art!

[heavy finch]

thats so pretty!

what is it tho-

[hard plank]

arcading

[heavy finch]

Ohhhhhhh idk why it gave me Bop It vibes lol

[rigid jewel]

Basically:
1.0.0 indicate major, minor and patch in that order (iirc).
~ALPHA is indicating which beta we're in. Basically just treated as a string.
14 is month (the versioning system was not built with years in mind, and instead of the nuclear option we just fabricated extra months), 09 is the date, letters are separating updates on same day.

[hard plank]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimai_(video_game_series)

[rigid jewel]

This is also how versioning is parsed for mods which is why I wanted to know if the Minecraft snapshot versioning even worked to begin with.

There's also wild card support but idk what that means and I am not translating Regex to find out.

[hard plank]

it worked because the numbers really are just numbers

internally it uses a running number system

[dusky heart]

Respectfully, absolutely horrifying

[rigid jewel]

It just works (if you pretend years don't exist)

[hard plank]

and for snapshot the most significant bit is flipped to 1 (aka you add [phone] to that running number)

[hard plank]

1409 is just a patch number i believe

like literally just random number

[rigid jewel]

Oh yeah that whole thing is a patch number

[uneven stirrup]

ok i got the template thing installed but the bg/card borders arent showing up did i do something wrong (maybe its because im using paint.net idk)

[rigid jewel]

I just separated it to explain what the numbers means in turns of "how updated is my SMODS".

[heavy finch]

maybe, yeah. you need a program that supports layers

[hard plank]

sometimes you can never make sense what a developer thinks

[uneven stirrup]

it... does

[heavy finch]

hmmm ok let me see

do you know what flie type your program supports?

[uneven stirrup]

it supports any but defaults to .pdn

for layered images at least

and then once i have the texture i just throw it into the balatro/mods folder right

[hard plank]

(i use aseprite)

[heavy finch]

ok try opening that

[uneven stirrup]

nope

literally i need just a jpeg or a png lol

i can separate the layers manually

[hard plank]

is that krita

[heavy finch]

no, you have to edit the code for the texture to be detected. Or you could just replace the og pngs like the other person said

[heavy finch]

indeed, my beloved

[uneven stirrup]

dont have 7zip and am too lazy to install and have no idea how to do the first one lmao

am i cooked

[vestal valve]

https://tenor.com/view/pen-in-flames-umineko-writing-in-flames-flames-gif-20892510

[heavy finch]

ehhh a little bit? lol its just that you really need a drawing/image editing program (or at least i would highly recommend it)

[hard plank]

yes

[uneven stirrup]

(at this point it should just be added to the vanilla game imo)

[hard plank]

(aseprite is funny for this specific purpose)

[queen moat]

retexturing tarot cards, 6/22
what should i do next

[uneven stirrup]

i have one that works well lmao

[queen moat]

(death, fool, and the tower are reserved)

[uneven stirrup]

heres a better list

[heavy finch]

let me look up that paint.net

[hard plank]

i mean i have done a few retextures

[queen moat]

damn

[uneven stirrup]

dont go to the website paint.net its a different one lmao

[queen moat]

instantly outdone 😔

[hard plank]

don't be

just have fun

[heavy finch]

just looked it up, youre kinda cooked

[queen moat]

lmao

[hard plank]

i mean

[heavy finch]

it doesnt open photoshop OR krita

[uneven stirrup]

the fact that the mc one is square is just the cherry on top

[heavy finch]

i could sent the pngs of the layers youll need and you can work from that?

[uneven stirrup]

just gimme a one layer png and i can work with that lol

[hard plank]

if anything i have 2345 hours in aseprite

[queen moat]

i'm starting with tarot so i don't burn myself out retexturing joker cards immediately

i use Krita

[hard plank]

it's a texture pack

[scarlet spire]

I use pdn also, but the program doesn't support layers at all outside of it's own file type.

[heavy finch]

ok, do you want it with or without bg?

[uneven stirrup]

w/o preferably

[hard plank]

just save as png separately

and have layers

[heavy finch]

it makes me so happy how many people use krita cries

[queen moat]

bc i'm broke asf and it's free lmao

[heavy finch]

i hope it works for you man

[queen moat]

otherwise i'd probably be using aseprite

[uneven stirrup]

yeah that works thanks

[heavy finch]

personally i just think its better, but thats coming from a graphic design student that has to use photoshop on the side

[queen moat]

i haven't used aseprite yet but i'd probably agree

it gets the job done and ever since i ported the entirety of inscryption into TTS i've gotten stupidly good with it

at least to my standards

[hard plank]

graphic design?

holy shit

[uneven stirrup]

wait bad resolution its breaking

[hard plank]

my passion

[uneven stirrup]

sorry

[heavy finch]

nah man im sorry bud, but thats the best i could do

[civic atlas]

is this good balance

[uneven stirrup]

original res is what again btw

[heavy finch]

indeed, my passion

[hard plank]

original card are each 71x95

[uneven stirrup]

whats the whole image though

[heavy finch]

i dont know what this image means

[civic atlas]

evil antimatter voucher effect

[iron scarab]

it depends on how many cards you got in the file

[civic atlas]

is it as balanced as the og antimatter voucher

[iron scarab]

so you just stack the 71x95

[hard plank]

284x1235

maybe

[iron scarab]

doesn't have to be same resolution as the vanilla atlas

it does probably need to be multiples of 71 and 95

[uneven stirrup]

nope 1846x760 because borders

[iron scarab]

but you can have like a 284x95 for 4 jokers

[hard plank]

I'm stupid it's the other way around

[heavy finch]

to be fair it needs two sizes

[hard plank]

380x923

[iron scarab]

joker atlas with 10 jokers horizontally and 16 verticaly

71x95 includes 1px border

[heavy finch]

theres two folders in the asset foulder, the 1846 one goes in x2 and the smaller one goes on the x1

[hard plank]

have you seen my files

[iron scarab]

[uneven stirrup]

whatever its getting a lil late ill do it tmr gn yall

[heavy finch]

1x

2x

[iron scarab]

710x950

[heavy finch]

are those minecraft themed jokers?!

[hard plank]

the amazing artwork

[hard plank]

I'm just adding whatever the hell i wanted

[iron scarab]

homophobic joker that ends the game when you play anything but a straight /s

[heavy finch]

spoken like a true visionair

[heavy finch]

youre SO cooking

[iron scarab]

🔥 and it's burnt

i can cook harder

[heavy finch]

that could be used in a challenge or something

[iron scarab]

heterophobic joker that ends the game when you play anything but a pair

[vestal valve]

also you cannot play a pair of kings or queens
you must have man and woman be separate

[iron scarab]

Polycule joker - x3 mult when scoring 3+ face cards

[heavy finch]

polyphobic where the game crashes if you play a king queen and jester

[iron scarab]

playing a joker

jester

it's a jack

[heavy finch]

SHHHHHH you understood me

[iron scarab]

i did

[vestal valve]

Home Alone 2 Joker
Triggers the next Joker that is down the hall and to the left

[iron scarab]

no

[heavy finch]

has to be at the front on the line and it triggers the last of the line

[iron scarab]

🤔 now i'm thinking about borderlands jokers

[vestal valve]

you make ONE trump joke and then somebody else immediately takes the topic to "borders" smh my head 🙄

[iron scarab]

Digi-Jimbo - every 5 rounds creates a negative perishable copy of a random joker

[iron scarab]

[heavy finch]

how would you constimize a persona 5 texture? because Joker clearly cant be the Joker cards

[iron scarab]

says who

just replace jimbos with Jokers

[hard plank]

look

i already added wordle to the game

[iron scarab]

how does one even BEGGIN coding that?

[reef warren]

🤓

[heavy finch]

fades from the chat with a bad apple shaped lump in my throat

[iron scarab]

give it a dictionary
read the cards from left to right to get a string
compare it to the dictionary
give points if it exists

[reef warren]

if a == b

[iron scarab]

[reef warren]

best method

[hard plank]

this

but in reality it's a bit more complicated

as usual

[reef warren]

card.toString

[heavy finch]

nah man, if i start fucking around like that my amature code is gonna end up looking like Yandere Dev's

[hard plank]

this is not JavaScript

[iron scarab]

if poker_hand == real_word
give point
else nah

[hard plank]

i mean it sounds simple

[reef warren]

everything is simple until u code it

[hard plank]

but how would you store the alphabet

[iron scarab]

this is stil funy

made the wrong cards twirl

[iron scarab]

they just had 2 strengths and decided fuck it
meme time

[hard plank]

IT'S THE SAME

[vestal valve]

hey wait, does anyone know if there are any mods that have, like, a "countdown" deck?

because I just had the idea of making a deck where random cards disappear after every round, forcing you to adapt if it's a card you used very often

[iron scarab]

yeah it's called Perishable tag /s

[hard plank]

i think that should be a challenge instead

if there's no upside

[vestal valve]

probably yeah

Countdown
At the end of the first Ante, you lose all of your tens. At the end of the second, you lose all of your nines. At the end of the third, you lose all of your eights, and so on

[iron scarab]

Leech Joker
Leeches 1 rank from scoring cards. If scored card is a 2, it is destroyed

gets +3 mult per leeched rank

nooooo why did you copy the joker text from one of the vanillas where the upside-down K is wrong

[vestal valve]

wait wtf

[deft harbor]

it's authentic, duh

[vestal valve]

how do you even notice something like that

question: is it common practice to have files like this?

[iron scarab]

1. not my joker
2. damn, 1 pixel missin'

[vestal valve]

when I import any other file, I load general_dependencies alongside it

and when I import my jokers, I load joker_dependencies alongside that

how common is this practice?

and more importantly is it actually smart

[twilit jetty]

the 'tism, but also we infected ourself with that mid-virus so now we compulsively check

[burnt sedge]

is there any debug that can help me escape this purgatory

[hard plank]

do you not just press shift and slash

or just esc

i mean kinda your fault you installed a debug mod

so you installed steamodded

what are you going to do next

[ionic ginkgo]

What's the best way to test out a Joker I made without having to wait until I get lucky by finding it?

[vestal valve]

Make a custom deck that lets you start with the jokers you want

[ionic ginkgo]

oooh smart thank you

[river scarab]

Using [DebugPlus](#1228149931257237664 message). It allows you to spawn anything you wanted to test by pressing 3 in the gallery view (can also applies to boss blind as well during blind selection screen), along with other useful debug features that would come in handy when testing things

[misty geyser]

what would be the best mod to make scoring go by faster, i just installed cryptid and it takes an ungodly amount of time to calculate scores sometimes

[vestal valve]

There's a Talisman setting called "Disable Scoring Animations"

You just need to go into the Mods menu and click Talisman

[misty geyser]

i dont get to hear the rings of the jokers but i guess it works

[ionic ginkgo]

worked perfectly, thank you

[misty geyser]

my first time playing cryptid

[heavy flax]

what have i goofed up im so lost already 😭

[lean dune]

well to start, your joker doesn't have your atlas

i have no idea what im doing lmao how fix

i know it doesnt have the atlas set up i just want it to actually load in the game

[vestal valve]

fun fact! the first ever thing I did to mod Balatro was replace the Twitter icon

[round ore]

shouldve replaced it with a virgin symbol or something smh

[vestal valve]

no you see I wanted to mod it to NOT be a virgin symbol

i'm never calling it X

[heavy flax]

is there a list of contexts and colors and other resources bc i dont know what im doing 😭

[round ore]

you gotta inspect game's code

globals.lua has the color codes

[wraith seal]

hsr mod

[topaz moth]

saving 90 pulls to lose the 50/50 before ante 8 boss blind

[burnt sedge]

not what I meant, I was referring to the menu straight up being gone

[lilac rapids]

what are people's thoughts on this seal? I initially thought it'd be kind of overpowered, but after some thought, it might actually suck a bit

[junior rock]

for a seal, kinda sucks.

[lilac rapids]

it's a valuable spot that could be a red or gold seal, and by the time you have the deck fixing to get enough of these, you've probably surpassed the need for them

so, hmm

[cursive pulsar]

It could prove its usefulness if the boss was a suit debuff, verdant leaf or the pillar

[lilac rapids]

that's true, card debuffs are just rare enough that this won't do anything for you 90% of the time

especially if you've gotten reroll, or have prepared properly for upcoming boss blinds

[cursive pulsar]

Seems more fit for a "crutch" scenario imo

[lilac rapids]

I do like the core concept of a seal being immune to debuffs but I want to see if I can make it stronger somehow

[cursive pulsar]

What are your current ideas for it?

[lilac rapids]

currently? none

besides the worst case scenario of just slapping some +mult or +chips on it

but that's boring

[cursive pulsar]

Doesn't seem like theres much room to work with

I was gonna throw out the idea of changing the seal to an enhancement, still iffy on that

[trail fog]

I'm surprised no one has made a mod that every time a tarot card is used, the voice line of the TBOI narrator is played

[lilac rapids]

seals are kinda hard to come up with in general

[cursive pulsar]

I suppose, regardless a clear seal is a cool idea

[lilac rapids]

it was originally just a fun test to see how it'd look, but I liked it quite a bit, so I wanna try and find a good mechanic for it

[west hill]

You can always add more debuff stuff in with your mod

[lilac rapids]

I don't wanna torture my players

[cursive pulsar]

I don't think ive heard of an unbalanced mod thats on the side of killing the experience by being super difficult

[lilac rapids]

actually, I do have an idea

I have another seal, which is the silver seal, that allows the card to always score even if it isn't part of the hand

I'm realizing that this is also a little underwhelming

so maybe I could move the debuff prevention off of clear and onto silver, to give it a sort of theme of resilience, so it's immune to debuff and it always scores

then figure out something new for clear

[cursive pulsar]

like a psuedo-splash?

[lilac rapids]

it's the splash seal, yeah

though if that's still underwhelming, honestly, I could just remove these traits from both seals and put them on an enhancement or something

[cursive pulsar]

given the nature of the vanilla seals if you plan to have both then yeah at that point an enhancement would be better

gameplay wise itll have the player think about genuinely using it

[lilac rapids]

the seal just needs to be doing something more often

"can't be debuffed" is a rare need and "always scores" isn't too applicable late-game when you have access to lots of seals

[solid void]

oh lord

[cursive pulsar]

It could be something thats very helpful in early antes, say 1-4

After that itd render itself unnecessary since by that point youre beginning to fix your deck with more desirable enhancements/editions etc

[lilac rapids]

yeah, just gotta figure out what I should do with the clear and silver seals now that they're mechanicless

[dry plinth]

How does decimal hand size work

[lilac rapids]

I think it rounds up internally?

[vivid flare]

which one should i take?

[dry plinth]

(I’m watching Cryptid gameplay)

[dry plinth]

What does the adversary spectral do

(I’m unfamiliar with that mod)

[solid void]

i love how adversely op speculo is

[vivid flare]

makes all jokers negative but also all jokers from now would be twice as expensive

[thorn ledge]

all jokers negative, jokers x2 cost for rest of run

[vivid flare]

so which one do i take?

[thorn ledge]

adversary def

[vivid flare]

alr

[dry plinth]

The sock & buskin would not be affected since it’s foil right?

[cursive pulsar]

iirc yeah the sock wouldnt be affected

[dry plinth]

But yeah you’d get 13 negatives at the cost of everything costing double. I’d take it

Or you can take one negative at the cost of hand size

[cursive pulsar]

he'll be fine with a hand size of 7

[dry plinth]

My god cryptid looks stupid in the best way possible

Like misprint deck making a glitched popcorn sell for $295

[untold echo]

Yo guys does anyone know where the generation of cards happens in the code I'm trying to find it but I'm kinda struggling.
I mean like when you open a pack the game shows you the tarot/spectral/planet cards where does it randomize those cards?

[sleek granite]

chat rate my joker

[dusky heart]

Level of suit?

[fallow bramble]

I'm confused, does it matter if it's the leftmost discarded card if it's a flush? (unless it's a wild card)

[fallow bramble]

(the mod has suit level)

[dusky heart]

Sounds quirky, how does that work?

+chips and mult for each played card of that suit?

[fallow bramble]

Suit gives +chips and mult

It's not too massive, it's a nice lil bonus

[sleek granite]

+5/+1 per level

[sleek granite]

wild cards or >5 card hands

[sleek granite]

(this is when the card scores; most equivocable to an enhancement or hiker perma boost in timing)

[solid void]

what's the most broken mod ever?

like makes your score go boom boom

except cryptid ofc

[formal orchid]

cryptid?

ae

dunno

[grand geode]

Jen's Almanac

[tranquil vessel]

Jens almanac

[solid void]

ok

[tranquil vessel]

Myst is faster than me

[sleek granite]

the most mod ever

[frigid furnace]

the mod of all time

[vivid flame]

the mod

Of time

[somber walrus]

hello there, I'm very new to balatro modding, just looking at it today, but im a bit confused about mod compatibility and the different versions of steammodded and lovely
my goal is: i wanna download a bunch of mods that add new jokers and cards and such etc all at once, just blast a bunch of new things together
but whats the best way to get the Most new things all working together?
like i like cryptid for example, but it seems like that one relies on old versions of stuff so its not very compatible with other things

is it possible to have both old and new versions of the steamodded/lovely at once? i assume not

[exotic belfry]

Your assumption is correct there

[somber walrus]

not that im getting any crashes yet, but i try to load crytpic plus some others and it mentions it being incompatible, so wanted to avoid issues before i messed up anything, lol

[hard plank]

i am going to show the thing i am making again

#1338027978935763055

[somber walrus]

is there a lsit somewhere maybe of all mods/their requirements? or a modpack of sorts maybe?

so i can more easily see and choose etc

im not picky i just want chaos/as much as possible lmao

[normal hollow]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1255696773599592458

[somber walrus]

oh perfect, sounds like exactly what i want, thanks!

[pearl cargo]

I'm looking for a mod that allows me to reroll the ante 1 blinds - ideal scenario is something that allows me to use the brainstorm mod that rerolls until you get a seed with the blinds you're looking for with the Cryptid mod. Anyone know how I could do that?

I found this but it's using balamod (?) and I'm not sure how to convert it to use steamodded

[jaunty python]

i saw a multiplayer versus mod somewhere but can only find this not working invite link and i dont feel like going trough all 476 pages of the chats eons made to see if theres a working link or download link

okay wait might have already found it myself sorry

[somber walrus]

my game now runs x10 slower, i have x5 more visual screen glitches and i don't understand anything anymore, just how god intended to play balatro

*edit i ticked off maybe like 5ish add new function mods and a handful of Themed decks like Pokemon, Yugioh etc etc and this whole mod pack now runs MUCH BETTER, no more slowness and weird glitching yay

[modern harness]

I can't get Pokermon to work. It says 'Missing dependencies! Steammodded [>=1.0.0~ALPHA-1303a]'
and downloading the new smod didn't really do anything so I'm lost

[shrewd briar]

Haha where do I install Steamodded's new version?

I cant find it lmao

[queen belfry]

new to using the brainstorm mod...what are the ways folks route/plan to use instant perkeo/observatory. I've tried it a few times but I find myself too broke to get it off the ground. Not sure how to use investment tag in this case, like...if I get the perkeo in big blind ante 1, I usually have only $7 and can't get the telescope, but will tele/observatory show up later/quickly if I don't buy it ante 1?

[modern harness]

And now it's crashing before it even loads the game

[tranquil vessel]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/ to install latest steamodded btw

[vagrant bough]

Hi. So eeeeh, I know it's against the rules, but I managed to run Balatro on love.js. From past messages it seems I'm not the first to try, but I succeeded.
And no I won't make this version public because piracy.

And in case any mod sees this, if localthunk is interested in getting the code patches required to run it, I'll gladly provide them. Only use case I see is running the demo on the website / itch.io, even though it's "too late" for any showcase 😅
And feel free to delete the message if needed, I don't want to cause any trouble. I just want to say that it's possible and if I did it in 2 days without any prior knowledge in Love2D, it's highly probable someone else will succeed as well.

[pliant marsh]

i love moire enhancement :)

[indigo flax]

is there a deck creator that you can use in game that works?

[quiet parcel]

Heya guys, for some reason whenever I for example discard cards they get scored? The scoring dissapears after a few seconds, it's like I was playing them but obviously I wasn't, it doesn't happen when I don't have any mods enabled. I find it very annoying and would love to know how to disable it. I think it comes from the morefluff mod? No idea tho.

[hard plank]

amazing people of the bala

[heavy harbor]

where do you find the malverk ui after installing it

[polar pecan]

Anyone here ever do a concept for jokers based on the master characters from Peggle?

[heavy harbor]

i see it in steammodded but cant find its own ui

[thorn python]

when skipping a blind or starting

[west hill]

menu -> textures

[heavy harbor]

options menu?

[west hill]

yes

[heavy harbor]

yeah theres no button in there for textures

[spark moth]

My mod finally loads

:D

[thorn python]

?

[heavy harbor]

i dont have the blue button

[west hill]

then you've not installed it correctly

[heavy harbor]

ah

is it supposed to go in the Mods folder with steammodded or no

[west hill]

yes

[limber widget]

Is there a max ante for the cryptid mod?

[heavy harbor]

is there a guide for installing it
i cant think of anything i've done wrong

[west hill]

can you screenshot the malverk folder?

including address bar

[west hill]

unnest it

you should only have one malverk-main folder

[heavy harbor]

ah

its working now
thank you

[weary pecan]

anyone know how to get mods on mobile

[twilit jetty]

no

[weary pecan]

o

[heavy finch]

does malverk work alongside with steamodded? it sounds redundant given how they both do the same thing

[twilit jetty]

iirc Malverk needs SMODS

[lean dune]

they very much don't do the same thing

[heavy finch]

ahh ok ok, do i just drag it to my mods folder? it crashes my game if i just do that though

[abstract granite]

hey, so I've been playing some Cryptid and I found this VERY nice seed that only works if this tag gets triggered. any idea how this is supposed to activate?

wait nvm it worked

[somber walrus]

found a crash, i think it has to do with the abilities mod, i had the ability that if you selected one card, it would destroy it, but then draw that card rank's number of cards into the hand, i had the ability selected, and a jack selected, tried to use it, saw it wouldn't work, then i clicked the end hand button to move on and it crashed with this message, i guess something about that ability not being compatible with jacks?

ah neat, its reproducible, lol

[abstract mango]

am i just stupid or is steamodded always the wrong version

these mods keep telling me that steamodded is outdated when i literally just redownloaded it from github

[gray crown]

hey so like my runs sometimes get way way way too many consumables and jokers and it gets a little tedious to riffle through them constantly...and at some points it's basically impossible to select anything at all

has anybody tried making a mod that helps with that

[frank geyser]

Just a few too many, eh?

[abstract mango]

for consumables there's incantation

[gray crown]

incantation? ok

[abstract mango]

for jokers there's cartomancer

adds a zoom bar

[gray crown]

these are all different consumables lol

[abstract mango]

anyone know where to get the latest version of steamodded so that this stops happening?

it's really getting me down

ive already tried downloading it from the github wiki which says it's the latest version

[lean dune]

the wiki has the right version, do not use the old calc link

[abstract mango]

okay, i did, my game crashes with the new version now

i updated my lovely too but it doesn't seem to work

[pliant marsh]

hey what does straddle do?

[abstract mango]

it's a Jens almanac thing, there's an explanation in the cryptid discord

[shrewd briar]

So, like, release 0.9.8?

Having the same issue so

[abstract mango]

nah that's the deprecated one, you gotta get the latest one here: https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/

my problem is that the latest one crashes my game

old-calc doesn't but it's outdated

[ivory sinew]

It begins.

[pure slate]

https://tenor.com/view/gold-scar-fortnite-og-meme-gif-16336600376003879735

i never thought i'd see the day

[ivory sinew]

Oh? 😮

[rigid jewel]

The people kept asking

[uneven stirrup]

hey so i decided to stop being lazy and actually install 7zip so i can make my custom card deck from yesterday but the extract option isnt showing up what do i do

[tranquil atlas]

Ok

So new day new file

Since yesterday mods didn't work correctly

What the hell do I do again 💀

[lean dune]

you don't have it installed correctly. Anyhow vanilla source code won't help you much with making a deck skin mod

see https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.DeckSkin

[uneven stirrup]

no but like i can just edit the files directly no?

[lean dune]

you certainly can do that, but I don't recommend it

[pliant marsh]

🥴

[winged quest]

what's the easiest way to unlock all in mods?

[uneven stirrup]

theres a button in the vanilla game for that

[tranquil atlas]

Will shit me balls

💀

Guys?

Help please

😭

[junior rock]

getting the right version probably

[tranquil atlas]

i love balatro so much but i know nonthing abt coding

im lost in the sauce

probably should delete some files

IT FUCKING WORKS

[stone dragon]

aight and how do i know wich version is the right one?

[junior rock]

probably by asking @lean dune

[lean dune]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/tags/old-calc.zip

[tranquil atlas]

Time to download more mods I guess

[stone dragon]

do i replace smods-mains with this file?

[tranquil atlas]

download smods, delete smods from mods

mods of balatro

yuh

[heavy flax]

why does this crash when i sell something with :45: attempt to index field 'consumeable' [a nil value]

[lean dune]

because you don't have any context checks

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/calculate_functions

there also is no fourth consumeable arg

you need to add a check like context.using_consumeable

under that condition only, context.consumeable will exist

[heavy flax]

thank you i have no idea what im doing and winging it lmao

[sterile nymph]

there's no such thing as too many.

[modest geyser]

so I've been trying to make an edition that works like hiker but when I try to use this code the game keeps saying that "extra" in a nil value even though I'm defining it in the config section
does anyone know why this is happening?

[lean dune]

edition config values don't get copied to card.ability, but card.edition

[tranquil atlas]

please help

[lean dune]

so you want card.edition.extra

[tranquil atlas]

should i have missed with the brainstorm mod?

[modest geyser]

ohhhhh that makes sense let me try it out

[heavy finch]

what does missing dependencies mean? it shows up in the selection mod screen (im not using malverk)

[tranquil vessel]

Sounds like the mod you're using needs another mod to function properly

[sterile nymph]

i kinda wanna make a joker based on this

[heavy finch]

ironic bcs it shows up with the green lil joker saying its fine, so the only thing that doesnt work is the fact the texture isnt replacing the K,Q,J of hearts. didnt think id be editing mods that arent even mine today ill be honest lol

[tranquil vessel]

wait what? then how does it say "missing dependencies"?

[heavy finch]

it doesnt anymore! i dont know HOW but i mean

[shrewd thorn]

well. i'm in two standard packs at once

[heavy finch]

its sort of fixed? lol

[tranquil vessel]

weird

[shrewd thorn]

lol ok it copies the particles

[heavy finch]

really weird, but im not THAT surpriced considering i have no idea what im doing haha, something unexpected was bound to happen eventually

[shrewd thorn]

oh

[steep magnet]

Question: how do you change the names of jokers (and variables too I guess)? Like in DrSpectred's vids, he has brainstorm renamed to DJ Nasty, reroll to "One more" and so on

Is there a mod for it or do I have to make something local? I have some ideas for my renames

[vernal scarab]

hey guys im having problems with my mod installiation. i had modded my balatro before but cant get to be modded after resetting my pc.

[slow eagle]

so i think i have beaten the small blind (cryptid mod + sleeves mod - misprint/equilibrium)

ignore weird saturation i don't know why balatro insists on doing it

[vernal scarab]

is this the help chat or no?

[slow eagle]

uuh

no clue

[opaque herald]

Is there a way to tell if a mod has unlockable requirements for jokers and decks or is it only if its listed

[heavy finch]

GOD FUCKING FINALLY

[glossy mauve]

Anyone know a good qol mod?

[civic shadow]

hey does anyone know a good mod for cheating in jokers for testing purposes

[tranquil vessel]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664

[civic shadow]

Thanks

[green hatch]

god i hate lua

[spark moth]

Relatable

[tranquil vessel]

Some QOL mods I like using or have seen others praise:

• Galdur (improved run menu)
• Handy (keyboard / mouse shortcuts)
• Blueprint+ (cool blueprint copying effect)
• Talisman (new integer limit + animation skipping)
• Nopeus (more game speed options)
• Cartomancer (UI improvements like joker scrolling + deck view)
• Incantation (stack consumables)
• JokerDisplay (show joker info as shorthand - might not be compatible with content mods)
  also see https://github.com/Dimserene/Vanilla-Plus-Pack for some other qol mods

[dusky lintel]

Do someone know what mod is sorting my cards?

[glossy mauve]

Download them layer

[weary pecan]

one of these feilds with nil must not be nill

[waxen lava]

you could edit the localization file ex. localization/en-us.lua to your liking. alternatively you could edit a mod that adds a localization if you don't want to edit game files. i think i saw the file for drspecred's name changes but can't find it anywhere, maybe it came to me in a dream

[split crag]

astral cards give ^6.5 bc of universe

and it triggers 450 times

my game is never gonna load the score

[gray crown]

oops

hey so, if i have a crash but i can't figure out what mod caused it, what do i do

the top of the stack says "global C function 'error'"

[modest portal]

is there a way to do a seeded challenge run?

[tranquil vessel]

post the full crash log

[tranquil vessel]

hah

[gray crown]

it happened while trying to score 2 copper cards that were getting retriggered like a hundred times, and then like that entire process repeated like 30 more times because of all the times the copper cards themselves get bonus rescored

[tranquil vessel]

can you send your Mods/lovely/dump/main.lua file?

[gray crown]

in a moment i just tried scoring only one and got a different crash when opening the shop

[tranquil vessel]

lmao

[gray crown]

aight 1 sec lemme crash it again

oh. i can't

[late rain]

is there a mod that adds a specific joker to always appear as a first option in the first shop of a run?

[gray crown]

it overwrote my save

i have to resolve the shop crash first, now 💀

[tranquil vessel]

oop

[gray crown]

might as well

this one is Bunco's doing seemingly

i opened a github issue

[tranquil vessel]

looks like a compat issue between bunco and talisman

[tranquil vessel]

any specific reason why you'd like this?

[gray crown]

how's that? talisman doesn't deal with shops does it

[gray crown]

i know i've heard of one but i can't think of it. it's like...preorder, or something

[tranquil vessel]

attempt to compare number with table implies Talisman stuff

🤷‍♂️

[gray crown]

i mean i've also seen it when mods are very old and not up to date with the latest steammodded

the kind where i have to go find a fork somebody has updated to fix the one specific crash

[tranquil vessel]

haha yeah I know those

[gray crown]

dude i have like 6 mods that i had to do that with

this community is on top of getting those fixes out

[tranquil vessel]

yeah the community is great at that stuff

[gray crown]

the endless stream of modders ready to ensure codex arcanum is compatible with the steammodded version from 2 days ago:

[normal copper]

I'm trying to set up to play my entire deck in a single hand and this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

[solemn peak]

oh! sorry

[gray crown]

I LOVE GLITCHED EDITION!!!!

[normal copper]

it's the best and the worst thing ever

[gray crown]

it is simultaneously the gigachad +40 mult even steven and the wimp +3 chips odd todd

glitched oil lamp at anything higher than default actually crushes all hope of balance

[queen coral]

just get 2 oil lamps

[gray crown]

i know right

me when i sell all my jokers so that invisible joker duplicates oil lamp

tbh oil lamp -> tropical smoothie -> sell tropical smoothie -> get cash money -> roll for more smoothies -> repeat for infinite money -> get universe -> get 1 astral card -> astral cards now raise your mult to 1e300 -> profit

[queen coral]

I had a fun run with infinite deck today - had a bunch of blueprints, canvases, compound interest, 2 universes, 2 oils, Chad, ballot etc. lmao

[gray crown]

once i discovered the path to infinite negative pointers, i kinda just said "okay, i beat the game" and swapped to vanilla+ LMAOOOO

using pointers to make perkeo to make pointers to get more perkeo triggers and just letting that spiral far far out of control

looking over the exotic jokers, i didn't think there was anything base cryptid exotic jokers can do that 50 pointers cant do. i eventually realized that it was basically just ^c that non-exotic jokers couldnt do

but ^m can take advantage of retriggers more easily so i dont think thats super relevant in the end

[wispy canopy]

this happens with literally just steamodded and lovely in the mods folder

[wispy canopy]

I updated both steamodded and lovely

[floral fractal]

nice

[burnt sedge]

is there any mod that can help me escape purgatory

[queen moat]

Vanilla

[gray crown]

yeah thats about right

[gleaming sentinel]

There is your problem, you need an older version of steammodded

The new one has issues

[wispy canopy]

I mean I have literally no other mods I don't see how that could be an issue

Like did they just upload it while knowing it crashes on start?

[gleaming sentinel]

Yeah but that is what it did to me

Idk why it does what it does but it does it

It could also be your save if you modded the game prior

[wispy canopy]

Lol I fixed it

I just had to delete the old one because for some reason the file wasn't removing the old one properly

[gleaming sentinel]

Ah, glad you did

[deft zephyr]

I love making unbeatable runs, like having infinite resets so you can always score enough, a chicot for boss blind disabling so no boss blind kills you, luchador for if legendaries gets disabled, reroll voucher so you don't even need those really but just in case you forget to check the boss blind, and then like 50 ^1e300 Primus' with multiple canvases

[grand geode]

I love making bosses that Cryptid actually struggles with

[twilit jetty]

"any operator above multiplication results in 0"

[unique patio]

does anyone have the balatro soundfont please

[grand geode]

struggle, not impossible

[sacred nova]

Can anyone help me of modding balatro?

[queen belfry]

I'm just running lovely with saturn and brainstorm...randomly getting this error when rerolling which usually results in a crash (sometimes, othertimes it just rerolls without actually finding the seed that matched my conditions). It had been working fine for a few days until now.

Is this common? If anyone can point me in the right direction on debugging it'd be appreciated.

[warped olive]

Is there a mod that makes it so you can see inside of booster packs before you open them??

[snow oar]

does anyone know what the problem is for this, it crashes everytime i cashout

[fluid vigil]

i love cryptid already

[lilac rapids]

this one might be kinda busted but I still love the mechanic

just need a name for it

[twilit jetty]

reasonable (maybe even underpowered) for a legendary joker

maybe name it after a historic astronomer?

[lilac rapids]

a friend suggested Galileo, which wouldn't be a bad name, though all of the vanilla legendaries are based more on historic jesters, which i'd want to fit into if I can

[calm elk]

ill do ya one better

crashing on starting the game

[calm elk]

call it John

[lilac rapids]

guess I have to

[umbral pilot]

john

[lilac rapids]

john

[umbral pilot]

name it ethan 👀

or wilson

[calm elk]

just like this.

[calm elk]

ok can someone please help me figure out what the hell is going on i have tried everything i can think of to get this stupid fucking modloader to work

[umbral pilot]

smods or lovely? what sorta problem are you having

[calm elk]

when i open the game it just... crashes

[umbral pilot]

what's the crash? I need to see the log or a screenshot of the crash

[calm elk]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/yiyokideye.swift

why does it think its swift

it is not swift

[sacred nova]

How i mod balatro? i tired havinf both lovely and smods and when i open the game and the second screen i dont see the mod button nor the mod i put in

[sleek granite]

ethan wake up

[umbral pilot]

best bet is to update smods to latest and try again. that's a weird crash since you don't have any other mods

[umbral pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/luna-hawow-awa-good-morning-morning-cat-cat-gif-1216186429259094074

[umbral pilot]

make sure that you've followed the wiki guide https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

make sure that you installed smods into %AppData%/Balatro/Mods and lovely (version.dll) into the game folder (where Balatro.exe is)

[twilit jetty]

neither wikipedia nor various llms can find any highly relevant jesters, unfortunately

[calm elk]

what the fuck i swear ive tried that like five times

[umbral pilot]

Feste https://dragonsdogma.fandom.com/wiki/Feste

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip from here if you're not already

[calm elk]

it worked

which is why im more confused

[lilac rapids]

feste is actually one of the names I've come across, I might use it, though it doesn't have as much punch as the other legendary joker names to me

[umbral pilot]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_jesters you can use this list to get some ideas prob

Nichola is nice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichola_(fool)

[calm elk]

ok so i added my mods back one at a time

they werent loading which is why the crash didnt show any other mods

but its ankh

[queen belfry]

FUCK I FORGOT TO SELL A JOKER

[fluid vigil]

i cooked my pc by doing 8 million calculations

last screenshot i got of the run

[limber widget]

Is this a good enough level?

[hard plank]

no

[limber widget]

Dang.

[hard plank]

need more

[burnt sedge]

please how do I escape purgatory I tried most of the debugplus options but they aren't helping

[heavy flax]

anyone know why this isnt working

[normal hollow]

I don't know if it's the reason but is overriding card intentional?

[heavy flax]

no my copy pasting was sloppy lol

[odd folio]

was all this supposed to happen?

[heavy flax]

how do i make a card wiggle when it's active like invisible joker

[normal hollow]

juice_card_until(card, your_function, true)

where your_function returns a true while it's wiggling and a false to stop

maybe it's backwards

idk

[heavy flax]

ill figure it out thank you

[agile palm]

is there any starting documentation to get into balatro modding?

[proper comet]

Not bad for my first foray into modding if I do say

[proper comet]

Yeah, there is, gimme a sec to pull it up for ya

[proper comet]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/Your-First-Mod

[agile palm]

bless mate, thank you!

[vestal valve]

update: I no longer need to do this

I have figured out the art of "[name] = function()" rather than "function name"

so I can just load the files once

[slow latch]

im just trying to download saturn mod and its not working at all

keeps crashing

[warm gull]

so... my game also crashes and the only mod i have is a skin mod

[hard plank]

saturn doesn't work well with new calc

[vestal valve]

What do y'all think of this Boss Blind? I wanna get some feedback before I go into developing it

The Hill: Every consecutive hand played must have a base score higher than (or equal to) the last one

So if you play a hand that has 35 x 4 base chips and mult, for example, you then can't play a hand that has 30 x 3 base chips and mult. And if you play one with 40 x 4 base chips and mult, you can't play the 35 x 4 one anymore either. But you can still repeat hands

[grand geode]

The Mouth but more convoluted

[vestal valve]

its more like a combination of The Mouth and The Eye

because you can repeat hands, but you can't play a hand that has a lower base score than the last one

[slow latch]

aw that sucks i liked the quality of life stuff in the videos i watched

[hard plank]

so if my high card level is so high i can't play a level 1 straight flush if i play a high card

[vestal valve]

basically

[hard plank]

if the high card level is higher than the level 1 straight flush

wow

counter to planet card build

[vestal valve]

well a lot of boss blinds do counter specific playstyles

namely The Psychic countering Half Joker, The Ox countering a build of one specific hand, and The Needle countering any "second time" jokers (i.e. Card Sharp)

[hard plank]

the plant🔥

[vestal valve]

the plant + pareidolia = very fun

[hard plank]

🔥

[vestal valve]

anyways, does that sound like it'd be a fun addition to the game?

[hard plank]

sounds fire add it

now how about mine

The Brain

Answer a trivia question

[proper comet]

Or The Cleaver
When a card is scored, all cards of the same rank are debuffed.

[hard plank]

i guess straight counter

[deft harbor]

For the round, or for the next hand?

[hard plank]

The Scissors

Played cards are debuffed forever.

[deft harbor]

Forever?

[hard plank]

yes.

even new runs

ok probably not new runs

[proper comet]

it's more of an N-oak counter

[thorn ledge]

The Blind

You cant see anything on screen except a small circle around your mouse

[hoary stone]

How about a joker, called "Addition"?
When a pair is played, add all effects/modifiers from the left card to the right card and destroy the left card

[hard plank]

osu flashlight mod

[hoary stone]

Or the same thing, but it's "Multiplication"

[alpine bluff]

hi chat

[thorn ledge]

why not make it lose mult after? seems more intuitive

[alpine bluff]

i couldnt figure out how to

at least with my 2 am brain

[vestal valve]

Certified Talisman moment

I was coding The Hill and wondering why nothing was working, and then I realized I forgot to put to_big next to the numbers :)

[topaz moth]

could say the hills have to_big eyes

[vestal valve]

i renamed it to The Journey, because that better fits my naming scheme

(I'm using Elder Futhark runes)

[fluid vigil]

KILL ME

[alpine bluff]

L

[grand geode]

L

[vestal valve]

can someone help me write a shorter version of this

[wanton rapids]

hand score must not be
less than the previous one

[vestal valve]

does this sound concise enough?

[acoustic igloo]

The Stupid
All numbered cards are debuffed

If you answer the trivia question wrong

[hoary stone]

The Gambler:
Retrigger a lucky card until it successfully triggers

[acoustic igloo]

You can't count anymore

And the trivia questions would be about the game or about the current run

[hard plank]

Base Chip x Mult must equal or more of previous hand maybe

i can;t counthow didu jnow

[simple compass]

Sleepy Blind

Change the score when blind selected

[vestal valve]

The Sleepy

[hard plank]

the ee

[vestal valve]

This is easily my best modded joker fr fr

[hard plank]

i think this 10 gives 50 of everything

[hoary stone]

50$ is left

[sleek granite]

balanc

[vestal valve]

serif balatro is so blursed

[sleek granite]

[sleek granite]

i could do this all day

[hoary stone]

autumn you mean the name or is ,,cool font" enough?

[sleek granite]

every time the momentum of whatever weird thing i did is disrupted by "lol why the font like that tho"

[grand geode]

i love your fonts

[hoary stone]

try wingidngs

I need a joker that makes all cards into a random rank, while the rank changes every round (maybe a deck)

[hard plank]

very goofy font 😭

wtf

[sleek granite]

:?

[hoary stone]

Damn that's hella cool

[hard plank]

😭

https://github.com/Mojang/web-theme-bootstrap/tree/main/assets/fonts

[sleek granite]

[grand geode]

boostrap

[hard plank]

strapstrap
X1.1 mult every log2(current mult) round down

[vestal valve]

astrap
(me)

[heavy flax]

how can i make a joker delete itself

[sleek granite]

is it too meta if i make the fact jokers have placeholder art a game mechanic

[hard plank]

i think that should stay thru to the proper art

[sleek granite]

ok sorry

[iron scarab]

I think that's peak

[sleek granite]

i mean i already have

[iron scarab]

Fire

[undone mist]

i need help pls.

[topaz moth]

ts funny asf man I js called the discard function 😭

[vestal valve]

you downloaded an outdated version of steamodded

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/tags/old-calc.zip

[undone mist]

im going to cry

[undone mist]

is this the new version?

[vestal valve]

yep

well, it's new-ish. there are newer versions, but they have breaking changes in them, so I just gave you that one to be safe

[undone mist]

so i delete smods and paste that

?

[vestal valve]

yep

[undone mist]

still doesent work

somewont knows what this means?

[wet valley]

[undone mist]

what is this run lol

[wet valley]

cryptid

[topaz moth]

working!

[thorn ledge]

i love jokers like this and trigger finger from bunco

[topaz moth]

my god there's a bug where if you go against the hook you can only select up to 3 cards afterwards 😭

[woven agate]

left click mod for pc?

[iron scarab]

such a banger

[late rain]

is there a mod that can easily save the current state of a run so I can replay it again from that point? like having a checkpoint system?

I was using this tool but I don't remember where I got it from and it doesn't work with Cryptid cause I guess the save file is on another folder

[undone mist]

i really need help pls

[quiet moth]

what does it look like inside the smods folder?

[quiet moth]

so firstly you have an old version of smods

your folder should be called smods-main i think… maybe start over and maybe this video can help! its the new 2025 version https://youtu.be/uDfxnwHO134?si=yMeJfzq_uDwZU4l-

[undone mist]

i did that and it showed the mod folder then i asked here and a dude told me to instal this version, im lost at this point

[pliant lotus]

I finally found out what this actually means, btw

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

So it's literally exponent, tetration and pentation all in one.

You're literally using powers of powers

So it all stacks down, meaning it's effectively 3^3^3^3 = 3^3^9 = 3^729 = ^387420489

So that's how the math actually works in a nutshell, you're figuring out powers of powers of powers of powers.

now that I've actually figured out HOW this math works, I can finally do the calculations lol

[modern harness]

I have tried everything I can think of but I still end up getting this message. What am I doing wrong?

[tranquil vessel]

get the latest steamodded from here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

[late rain]

what is the name of the dot file to manually disable a mod?

[deft lotus]

.lovelyignore

[late rain]

thx, I tried to search ignore in the chat but nothing came out although I think it is mentioned before

[modern harness]

i already did

When I tried replacing it with the original steammodded (which workes with cryptid) it crashed

[tranquil vessel]

cryptid doesn't work on latest steamodded

you can't have the latest release version of cryptid and pokermon together

[modern harness]

oh

[rare garnet]

Average modding interaction

Prolly because of this gormless mf

[vivid flame]

how

did that happen
