[exotic belfry]

Don’t make an effect for me based on hot potato. I organized it but it’s not my mod

[young timber]

ight

also 137 is worse than 152

[exotic belfry]

That and it’s just a +mult effect

[hard plank]

+1 mult per joker is kinda lame

[exotic belfry]

Yeah

[young timber]

i mean i need more times-ing

chips or mult?

[buoyant kestrel]

ah yes

[young timber]

i mean @exotic belfry what about +1 xchips per mod using

[sleek granite]

astra how many contexts does maximus add

[exotic belfry]

Xchips 😭

[young timber]

yes

[hard plank]

astra what if

[dreamy abyss]

astra what if there was a joker

[exotic belfry]

I wanna say like 3, maybe 4? Not sure

[buoyant kestrel]

i like X chips

for example

50 chips

[sleek granite]

contexts are funny ways to add crossmod tbh

[young timber]

ok im going with this unless u have a better idea

[exotic belfry]

So many people pulling for my attentions

[young timber]

i just needed joker

[hard plank]

what if i create a negative maximus zodiac card when you play flush of diamond

[sleek granite]

cuz its like heres a context that exists for like two jokers in the mod and now heres a stacked effect that any joker could have

[exotic belfry]

That’s cool

Negative horoscopes are fun

[chilly pine]

hello fellows

[indigo egret]

I might update Flynnsanity this friday

Flynn Friday

[chilly pine]

ok

[iron thunder]

where win

[worn dagger]

no

[iron thunder]

let me win dude

😡

unfair game

[indigo egret]

i think i lost the plot why am i making a Roblox game instead of working on Flynnsanity

anyways

[indigo egret]

WHAT is happening

[limber oak]

fake infinity

[chilly pine]

should i hide modding chat channel

[hard plank]

infinity < 105000 unfortunately

[chilly pine]

105k just too big for infinity to handle

https://files.catbox.moe/r2eeog.png

do you guys like my joker

[indigo egret]

make it give X4 Chips if you have exactly 4 jokers (excluding itself)

[chilly pine]

sorry i was offline

[indigo egret]

nvm it's not the exact shade of blue

[chilly pine]

no

[chilly pine]

wow

thats fast

[indigo egret]

should i turn this into a flynnsanity joker

[chilly pine]

no

[indigo egret]

nvm there's already a to-do list in the ro

the ro (balat-ro)

[chilly pine]

https://files.catbox.moe/bv8ubz.png

:trol:

[wanton rapids]

??

[chilly pine]

okay im gonna hide this channel again i think its funnier

okay coming back because im actually kinda pissed by this because it misses the point by a mile

obviously the dogpiling astro thing was fault on my end but its actually decently common enough in hot potato, being exactly the reason i left the server/

the fuck you thing was clearly a bit and if youd have asked astro you wouldve known that i deleted it like 1 hour later

this is a gross misrepresentation of the entire situation and is clearly biased against me and/or perposely making me look bad and making the exact same mistake as i and a lot of people in hotpotato did

the previous conversation is also ass because it was just tname slander without considering the time limit and the actual positions we were put into

which, the entire perpose of hot potato is in a sense defined by

[indigo egret]

I ain't reading allat✌️✌️✌️

[chilly pine]

itd be alright if it was actually constructive but from what i read it was just being mean for the sake of it

please dont play hot potato its gonna require a lot of reading

[indigo egret]

it's gonna require a NOT of reading??? hell yeah illiteracy wins again

[chilly pine]

wtf

red?

[indigo egret]

"red, we need to crossmod" -astro, in walter white voice

[chilly pine]

why would you even think that

make purple instead obviously

dogpiling sucks and i also suck for doing it but its more of a general result because of the general atmosphere in hot potato, bepis had a really good point

what if i ^1 mult insteaf

i love when game design discussions take form on meaningless arguementations which entire perpose is to censored by big balatro tname over

its okay when everybody else does it

okay bye now i have to go

[iron thunder]

mayhem

i received a ^^3 to all hand stats (pokers and chips)

and then lobotomy corporation child of the galaxy did x11 5 times on it

both

[plush hound]

i hit the jurck pot 1$

[storm bloom]

gimme some mods

[distant badge]

we’re all out of mods sorry

[woven orchid]

mods?

[blissful mango]

i have a idea for a really unbalanced mod

a third thingy like chips and mult

[forest knoll]

take your age
that's your age

[forest knoll]

glop,,,

[blissful mango]

but its exponentiation

was this already done

[forest knoll]

oh yea I'm already working on that
it's not glop, glop was just another thing multiplied in

[blissful mango]

it would be green

[forest knoll]

glop is also green

but here's what I'm working on
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1233186615086813277/1418757291443880036/Balatro_2025.08.26_-_20.13.22.02.mp4?ex=68f97831&is=68f826b1&hm=987d3720d16349a0e6b1ed7b23902dedf0d7326918c3471fb1565205dd3f6170&

[blissful mango]

yeah thats exactly what i was thinking but lime

also where do i get cryptid

[forest knoll]

#1209506514763522108

[north salmon]

you do not get cryptid
cryptid gets you

[blissful mango]

cant find a download

[woven crag]

https://github.com/SpectralPack/Cryptid/releases/tag/v0.5.12a, though fyi cryptid is currently broken and you just get stuck in ante 1 for eternity

[full edge]

still?

impressive

[woven crag]

its not on dev version i think

and its also only on latest smods so idk who to blame

but only cryptid does it so im blaming cryptid

[full edge]

cryptid is if their release isn't fixed or reverted or better communicated to not update smods after 5 days, tbh

[lilac obsidian]

Add the football thingy??

I would love more sports elements in Balatro yes pls

[frigid mica]

I imagine you can find a mod that can help you remove any sticker regardless of what it is. (Sob’s Obelisk should be easy to remove)

[woven crag]

debugplus

[frigid mica]

Without the use of debugging tools hopefully

[stable juniper]

I had two ideas for new Jokers :3 what do you think?
(Uncommon) Consumables can spawn with editions
(Rare) Press USE outside a round to draw a hand of cards, hand changes every round

[lilac obsidian]

So what you’re saying is I can’t try out cryptid rn cause it’s broken 💔

[frigid mica]

It’s bugged yeah

[woven crag]

you can but you need to downgrade smods

to previous release

[lilac obsidian]

I would have no idea in the slightest how to do that so ig I’ll just have to be a patient boy

[woven crag]

you would download this https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta-0827c

[sleek granite]

play my mods

[plush hound]

not the first time people were told to downgrade their SMODS to play Cryptid

oh the horror of newcalc

[woven crag]

what happened with newcalc

[lean dune]

we don't talk about what happened with newcalc

[woven crag]

no no

tell

im intruiged

[sleek granite]

aure are my mods cool

[lean dune]

some mods like cryptid just took forever to actually make the jump to supporting it

[lean dune]

yes

[sleek granite]

thank you

[plush hound]

it's going to happen again

[sleek granite]

goodbye cryptid

[round elk]

lul

crypton

gone

[wanton rapids]

newcalc is amazing though

[lean dune]

why do you think smods is eternally in beta?

[wanton rapids]

oldcalc was so so bad

[lean dune]

so we can freely ship breaking changes of course

[round elk]

we dont talk about prehistoriccalc

oh the horror...

You dont wanna know...

[lean dune]

otherwise smods would be like version 71

[wanton rapids]

you weren't there

[sleek granite]

what if there was an event system and i crossmodded the hell out of it

[plush hound]

there's one

[sleek granite]

yeah i should crossmod hotpot

[full edge]

What if there was a unpotato'd event system

[plush hound]

https://github.com/SleepyG11/TheEncounterBalatro

[full edge]

Oh damn sleepy works quick

[woven crag]

i just got crash ace but because cryptid fucking sucks it crashed when i tried to create a card because of this in the create_card override

[plush hound]

here's the thing

[woven crag]

so i just got the one achievement

[plush hound]

why didn't he upload it into this server

😭

[wanton rapids]

what is this for?

[full edge]

Does Cryptid still use an override for create card? I thought Ruby converted that to a hook

[woven crag]

ace aequilibrium

i think

but it couldve very well been a hook since they dont really do much

or yk

a patch

[full edge]

I know like 5 months ago I complained about create card being an override instead of a hook, as it made it impossible to be compatible with Cryptid for me, and while I was trying to rewrite their code, Ruby PR'd a fix for it to turn it into a hook. I must be misremembering something there, though, if somehow the override is still there

[willow wolf]

hey

who implemented the ad code in hotpot

and is there any way for outside mods to add ads

[plush hound]

shit idk if i can ping then

them

[willow wolf]

also

how the fuck do i get an abnormality choice event

[desert mirage]

idc

[woven crag]

somehow cryptid is also managing to make leveling up hands stronger each time

i dont think leveling up flush five is supposed to add like 20 mult

and 100 chips

[frigid mica]

I GOT HER

[willow wolf]

what the fuck is the hotpot abnormality choice event

[limber oak]

me when i
when i get you

[willow wolf]

how do i force-spawn an event

in hotpot

like how do i test an event

[limber oak]

i dont think the api works with debug+

-# or debug ++

[willow wolf]

how the fuck do i trigger an event then

[frigid mica]

Fun values

[limber oak]

get lucky

[woven crag]

im pretty sure theres a function that lets you guarantee the next event to be a specific one

i forget what it is though

[full edge]

I'm hyped to incorporate that API into Kino

[alpine cosmos]

what an odd blind

[full edge]

I think I have a pretty fun visual style in mind for events as well

[woven crag]

woah

cool

[full edge]

Let's hope that'd be a functional one to implement

[plush hound]

what the FUUUUUUCK

[alpine cosmos]

im out here cooking in dimensions yall havent even perceived

i also havent perceived them

so im blind as hell

[sleek granite]

lets goooooo

[sleek granite]

this is also very cool

[alpine cosmos]

thank you :D

[sleek granite]

i could be convinced to crossmod jokerblinds

[alpine cosmos]

crossmod?

oh like making cross mod compatibility

[sleek granite]

if this is available in a mod or smth

[alpine cosmos]

nevermind i got there

in the future

its a massive project and im not sure if i wanna reveal its entirety yet

[sleek granite]

we will watch your career with great interest

[alpine cosmos]

hehe

[woven crag]

cryptid crossmod blind that gains ^like a billion mult after each hand

[alpine cosmos]

hey whats that

[sleek granite]

a playing blind

[alpine cosmos]

whole new page babyyyy

[woven crag]

holy hell

[alpine cosmos]

anyways oops spoiled too much back into the shadows i go

[wanton rapids]

smods xchips sound my beloved

[sleek granite]

i dont see how this like
works

guess its still being set up :?

[full edge]

Setting up a more formalized system to deal with bonus chips and bonus mult on cards would probably just lead to compatibility issues with older mods, rather than improve things, right? 🤔

[sleek granite]

what do you mean

[wanton rapids]

like a bonus table? and functions to add and remove bonuses?

[full edge]

yeah

something like that at least

so you could have a joker effect that's like 'whenever a card receives bonus mult, it gains equal bonus chips'

[sleek granite]

scale_card 2

[wanton rapids]

you could probably hook one of the metamethods for compat with older mods

like "if you're setting bonus_mult directly instead call the hookable method"

[sleek granite]

actually im like 90% sure that scale_card could literally do that if ppl used it for perma bonuses

[full edge]

I might look into how feasible that'd be to PR at some point. I'd personally really benefit from it, but I don't know if it'd be generally useful or just adding more abstraction for the sake of it

[sleek granite]

ice im glad you enjoy perma mult

[frigid mica]

You can remove the absolute sticker from Sob’s Obelisk

Wait

Is it called absolute?

[full edge]

Perma Mult is incredibly strong and hard to balance but my heart yearns for effects designed around it, haha

[frigid mica]

Ok yeah it’s called absolute

So

[wanton rapids]

new john balatro...

[sleek granite]

i believe perma bonuses are still credited to me abstractly lol

[frigid mica]

The absolute sticker can be removed

Using the rejuvenator from SUMod

[hard plank]

admittedly pretty cool

[limber oak]

another 🧀 to vesselic vanity (oop gotta patch that)

[sleek granite]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/blob/d8c19ddaf637c6283ed046bb223a64192a7db1dd/lovely/perma_bonus.toml#L7 fuck yeah im right

[frigid mica]

Wha

The absolute sticker from Cryptid

[limber oak]

unstable vessel gets completely humbled by consumables that work with stickers

[frigid mica]

You can’t remove Aleph though

[wanton rapids]

watch me

[frigid mica]

How

[wanton rapids]

just remove it

Joker That Removes Aleph

[frigid mica]

In entropy?

[sleek granite]

god its avaritia vs draconic evolution again

[willow wolf]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE LIMBUS DOING IN HOTPOT

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN???

[alpine cosmos]

hehe

[limber oak]

especially ones that remove eternal

[frigid mica]

There’s a joker that removes aleph?

[wanton rapids]

the hypothetical Joker That Removes Aleph removes aleph

im not going to implement it because we dont need to

[frigid mica]

Hypothetical?

[limber oak]

so i have to go out of my way to find all consumables that remove eternal in some way

[willow wolf]

WHERE'S THE PROGRAMMER THAT ADDED ABNORMALITY CHOICE

TO BALATRO

[limber oak]

so that the blind can DESTROY-

[frigid mica]

There’s also a joker I made that removes all stickers

[limber oak]

i cannot permit any 🧀ing of vesselic vanity

[frigid mica]

Neo Metal Sonic is so fucking unstable, I highly advise you DO NOT touch him.

[limber oak]

the humble { debuff = true }

-# uhm what now

[frigid mica]

I will find a way to make debuffing the joker a terrible idea.

[limber oak]

unstable??? like the unstable vessel??

[sleek granite]

super mega hyper death sword kilss your guys hahahahahaha i win etc

[full edge]

me using your code and it conflicting with another mod is how it ended up in smods, haha

[sleek granite]

yay

[willow wolf]

@distant badge hey, how do i crossmod with hotpot to add an advert image

[frigid mica]

Unironic summary of Mugen cheapies

[wanton rapids]

i love unnecessary power creep

my joker gives ###@#@#393939939# 2 mult

[distant badge]

patching into the lua file is probably your best bet

[sleek granite]

i love making the game boring yippee

[limber oak]

me when power creep is unavoidable and is required for the later antes

[distant badge]

although hotpot is low priority so you could probably just add to the table

[willow wolf]

do you think i could hook into HotPotato.Ads

[wanton rapids]

as long as your priority is higher than hotpot probably

[full edge]

the game is build around dealing with higher antes through deck fixing and synergies, rather than stronger jokers

[limber oak]

(btw i changed a thing that makes VV appear not on ante 39, but on ante 16

[wanton rapids]

vv appears on ante 8?

[limber oak]

vv is not a showdown

[wanton rapids]

violet vessel?

[full edge]

If your priority is lower, you can add a function that adds the ads a bit later, depending on how its set up

[limber oak]

vesselic vanity

[full edge]

That's how I deal with Cryptid compat atm

[willow wolf]

my priority is 2147483646

[frigid mica]

What kind of Entropic Joker is Atomikos?

[wanton rapids]

i should make a stake mod

[limber oak]

V. Vessel and V. Vanity have same starting letters

[sleek granite]

good for you buddy

[full edge]

i'll add a vampire mod that gets hard countered by it

[wanton rapids]

True...

[distant badge]

if your priority is low enough then you should just be able to add to the ads table

[full edge]

That reminds me, I should formalize Drain as a coded mechanic in Kino

[wanton rapids]

does anyone here remember old orange and gold stakes

[full edge]

That way I can also add Blood counters that can get drained to boost vampire jokers

[sleek granite]

hell yeah two Drains (drain is also in pokermon)

[distant badge]

-# like, HotPotato.Ads.Adverts[“your_ad_name”] = {}

[plush hound]

just sort message by oldest in #🎙・server-chat

[wanton rapids]

is drain a formal mechanic or is it like an mtg ability word

[plush hound]

there should be more stake only mod

these filthy vanilla enjoyers yearn for it

[wanton rapids]

old gold stake was vile actually

[plush hound]

was it

[wanton rapids]

-1 hand size

[full edge]

Ability word, atm, but I'm considering making it a formal mechanic and rework vampire jokers to work more cohesively, for Kino

Also so that I can add more interesting mechanics around them

[plush hound]

that sucks

😭

[wanton rapids]

orange stake was worse

packs cost $1 more for each ante or something

[sleek granite]

blockbuster-drain

[plush hound]

IT SCALES????

[full edge]

Probably won't make drain a bb module unless I add so many systems that it'd warrant it

[frigid mica]

What kind of dice is d1

[wanton rapids]

yeah 1.0.1 made gold stake like 10x easier

[sleek granite]

i wonder how this worked with negative antes

[wanton rapids]

thats a good question actually

[frigid mica]

What do you call the opposite of a stake

[wanton rapids]

idr

[willow wolf]

@distant badge what pixel size should i make adverts in

[willow wolf]

ekats

[wanton rapids]

the ads are all different size arent they

[distant badge]

i think the usual size is like 300x200 or something

[wanton rapids]

id assume it just matches the size of the atlas

also you probably want to push to the pool instead of overwriting it

[plush hound]

it would be cool if you could choose which joker would come out if you breed certain jokers

[frigid mica]

I’m thinking about making BONUS Blinds, opposite of Boss blinds, they only appear in negative antes and make it hard to stay in the negatives.

[olive hamlet]

I changed blue stake in my mod from -1 discard to X1.3 victory requirements (ante 8 --> must beat ante 11), especially since it will be a while before the blue stake rework

my god removing the -1 discard makes things way less frustrating

[wanton rapids]

ante 11 is a bit too far imo

[frigid mica]

Hey unik, while I have your mod, when I try to make a pointer using pointer, it always turns into a soul card.

[fallow bramble]

I know this has been asked a lot in the balatro community so I decided to make it, no need to thank me

[wanton rapids]

More Reroll

[plush hound]

more reroll

can you bring back the old reroll button

which is like 1 stick wide

[frigid mica]

Why does that happen

Why does it turn into a soul card

[willow wolf]

is there any way to spawn a specific ad

[olive hamlet]

hmm, it's supposed to be an anti copy measure that converts a pointer to a SOUL card as replacement if you have multiple pointers in consumables
it appears its prematurely triggering though

even if you've already used one and you're creating another

[distant badge]

i lowkey do not remember

[wanton rapids]

should i make a stake that auto redeems the superboss voucher

[frigid mica]

Damn, y’all really like to play fair, and there’s no way to prevent this?

[plush hound]

what would you call it

[stark shale]

#starving

[frigid mica]

I guess I really DO have to make those two new pointer-like spectrals. (Joker only and Consumable only)

[limber oak]

The Prop
-# Autoredeem the Ticket (applies Gold Stake)

[wanton rapids]

hm

[frigid mica]

Oh yeah, most of my jokers are meant to last for like until ante 8.

[limber oak]

max = } in SMODS.Blind is deprecated and is unused

if it worked then what it would do would be insane

[storm solar]

hey guys jellybean challenge

this jellybean is either strawberry or human blood

[olive hamlet]

If you already have a pointer in your consumables, then, it's intentional
if you dont have a pointer in consumables and you're just creating pointer and reserving it for later, well its not so intentional... And it turns out its that case when testing just now
I'll try to make a fix for that
but damn, going back to cryptid yet again

[frigid mica]

Huh, alright

[olive hamlet]

the anti dupe will still be a thing if you have pointer and you try methods to copy it (perkeo, copy+paste)

[frigid mica]

Ok

Well, in the meantime, have this drawing

[limber oak]

Vesselic Vanity - 1024X Blind Size
An Oddity (WIP Name) - 256X Blind Size

on top if they respawn while you have unstable vessel thats another ^4.21

[frigid mica]

I will make a Cruelty Blind

It will be the only one

[willow wolf]

made an ad

[frigid mica]

Life or Death - 1 in 2 chance you lose the game after playing a hand.

I believe I missed something when did we get ads in balatro

it’s peak…

Hot Potato

[stark shale]

the what

[lime siren]

ad api when 🙏 i need to advertise my business

[frigid mica]

Ok then I’ll make it fixed chance

[frigid mica]

Hot Potato has this feature where you get ads after being a boss blind I believe?

[lime siren]

may your woes be many and your fortunes few :clueless:

[frigid mica]

May your ls be many and your bitches few

[distant badge]

ublock origin will be included if that ever happens

[spiral solar]

Say that again

[frigid mica]

Max0r

What do I make my jokers do with demicolon

[leaden vector]

hhhhh i've been learning C++ for 3 hours

[lime siren]

ill never recover from this

[willow wolf]

@distant badge

[leaden vector]

Is that you gabriel

[willow wolf]

i tried adding an ad

and it did uh.. that

[hard plank]

lumi

🥺

[distant badge]

concerning

[leaden vector]

is this what adhd feels like

[frigid mica]

Maybe

[hard plank]

i give up

[distant badge]

i dont know how ad_atlas is undefined there’s literally no way it should be

what does your atlas look like

(in code)

[willow wolf]

yes i put subfolders in the assets

please tell me if it doesnt work like that

[distant badge]

your key is wrong i think

[hard plank]

opal...

[frigid mica]

I can’t keep a pointer the way I can keep code cards

[hard plank]

i hope this makes sense

[distant badge]

try removing ‘mkthp_’

its been literal months since i worked in this file i forgot a ton

[willow wolf]

ok

[wanton rapids]

so if you have oops it goes to $6?

[hard plank]

yes

[willow wolf]

nope

hmmm

lemme try smthj

[hard plank]

i think i might know why

could it be that the center automatically append the prefix

[willow wolf]

YEP

[distant badge]

WIN

[willow wolf]

I HAD TO ADD MY ACTUAL MOD'S PREFIX

cons: it might have replaced the entire table rather than appending

[hard plank]

i think you should add to the table instead of overriding it yk

[willow wolf]

yep it did

[willow wolf]

HOW

[distant badge]

only yi xi

[willow wolf]

sorry i dont know how to do it... im a birdbrain..

[vivid seal]

bro only got 1 plincoin 🤣

[willow wolf]

idk when i should stop

[wanton rapids]

HotPotato.Ads.Adverts[#HotPotato.Ads.Adverts + 1] = whatever

[limber oak]

Vesselic Vanity
???
Egregious Greed?

[wanton rapids]

what is this some king of bird brain

[hard plank]

table.insert(HotPotato.Ads.Adverts, <your ad definition>)

[wanton rapids]

table.insert is a thing??

[leaden vector]

an achromatic twisted aeronaut?

[limber oak]

bro got 1

[hard plank]

back pain

[willow wolf]

here's how i did the thing

[full edge]

yeah it's when you add a joker to your mod that's based on a table you own

[wanton rapids]

True...

[distant badge]

wouldn’t it be HotPotato.Ads.Adverts[“ad_mkt_abto”]?

[wanton rapids]

some stakes, idk if i want to do 4 or 8

[lime siren]

does this only exist for d1

[leaden vector]

Try laying on the ground flat for like, 30 seconds

[hard plank]

https://youtube.com/shorts/QDve3m-jiW8

[wanton rapids]

oh true actually

[hard plank]

no

[hard plank]

true actually I'm stupid

[willow wolf]

i copied the table from ur code

[wanton rapids]

i made the same mistake though

[hard plank]

it's ok we're all stupid

[limber oak]

Diamond Stake could be interest

[willow wolf]

i wanna be able to keep this structure

[hard plank]

you can't

[wanton rapids]

local Adverts = {
  my_ad = {whatever}
}

for key, ad in pairs(Adverts) {
  HotPotato.Ads.Adverts[key] = ad
}```

[hard plank]

i mean that works but you can't just replace the whole thing

i mean that doesn't

[limber oak]

Edition Idea: Inverse

X-1 Effect

[hard plank]

he's red for an amazing reason

[olive hamlet]

Just pushed a hotfix that should fix that issue (if that anticheat is enabled via cryptid nerfs)

[wanton rapids]

you missed the ad

after the =

[willow wolf]

why is it greyed out

[wanton rapids]

oh uh

replace the {} in the for with do and end

i forgot how lua works

[limber oak]

why so 🔴 all of the sudden

[wanton rapids]

okay uh.

[distant badge]

for key, ad in pairs(Adverts) do

[willow wolf]

lets see if this works

[wanton rapids]

you have an extra }

[round ore]

just do HotPotato.Ads.Adverts = Adverts

[willow wolf]

@distant badge how do i spawn a specific ad

[distant badge]

i don’t actually know and that concerns me

[wanton rapids]

there doesn't seem to be a function that does it(?)

https://github.com/the-Astra/Hot-Potato/blob/c610e9fd321555b1b67ccdc1d9d0bb73cc5398c6/Perkeocoin/ads.lua#L299 here's the function that spawns in many ads

[hard plank]

i just create a bunch of ads until i see mine

[willow wolf]

ok i ran that

and it didnt work

[storm forum]

Ad-'em all.

[hard plank]

create_ads(100)

[woven crag]

eval create_ads(math.huge)

[woven crag]

needs eval

before it

[wanton rapids]

brilliant move reaction

[hard plank]

update your hot pot

[storm forum]

-# That's an old recording.

[willow wolf]

ok it works

[wanton rapids]

wait the video ads are windows exclusive?

[storm forum]

ad_indiepaketphoenix = love.system.getOS() == "Windows" and ...

[wanton rapids]

no they actually are what

[storm forum]

Oh yeah, there's the love.system.getOS() ~= "Windows" check...

[hard plank]

https://youtube.com/shorts/615m5f3nX5A

[hard plank]

i think it's buggy on other platforms

[wanton rapids]

i assumed so

[obsidian merlin]

I have a question, is there any mods that keep game the game base but help with QoL?
I've seen some videos where they have a calculator and some jokers show below them what they will do this round without needing to over like idol and such

[wanton rapids]

oh yeah is that why you were posting the recreation when hotpot was in development

[hard plank]

i think it's the foebidden ones only tho

[storm forum]

Divvy Preview, Handy, JokerDisplay.

[plush hound]

1 session with ublock turned off

[hard plank]

im going to do smth to hot pot

[frigid mica]

Where do people find these images btw

[leaden vector]

reddit

[hard plank]

im gonna enable video ads on macos

nvm

[willow wolf]

another ad

@exotic belfry

[plush hound]

I'm just gonna make a mod where it's just an addition of ads

500 of em

[wanton rapids]

Tangents 2

[tardy sigil]

Oh yeah baby

[plush hound]

tangents 2 will just contain ads

that's it

[willow wolf]

should i make it larger

[frigid mica]

My current goal is to get all decks AND sleeves into gold stake, doesn’t matter how I do it, just that I do it.

And by all I mean vanilla ones.

[willow wolf]

ok its bigger

[storm solar]

i have so much gerard..

[willow wolf]

bir brain teto

[storm solar]

i have so much gerard dude

[frigid mica]

Eventually I’ll make a new stake where you start with a random negative joker for the rest of the run and all blinds will be up by either x1.5 or x2

Oh yeah you also have -1 joker slot.

You’ll have to go through numerous resets if you want mileage out of your run.

[plush hound]

average isaac run

[wanton rapids]

ERROR

[tardy sigil]

Creepypasta ahh stake

[frigid mica]

Oh yeah, it can be any rarity

[sleek granite]

yeah i should crossmod hotpot this would be pretty funny

[wanton rapids]

yet another pink stake

[tardy sigil]

Ough thats a tough yet good stake

[frigid mica]

Criptid

Hotpot

[frigid mica]

Put em all together

[sleek granite]

good luck im talisman agnostic

[wanton rapids]

okay so apparently you cant do this without patching

this sucks

[storm forum]

-# ...something for the next SMODS release to address? 😛

[wanton rapids]

perchance

[tardy sigil]

Omg yea so I can make it 0 and you can get infinite interest

[willow wolf]

now making hotpot crossmod jokers

[hard plank]

you can't just say perchance

[willow wolf]

how do i track the amount of ads on screen

[storm forum]

-# And that'd get in the way of Talisman's patching, lmao.

[plush hound]

stacked ability from hotpot

[willow wolf]

potato joker

+4 mult

is hot potato joker when hotpot is present

x4 mult

[hard plank]

nxkoo

I'm not tracing art

[storm forum]

Testing...

-# Although the UI bit will need to be updated too.

[willow wolf]

scuffed misprint deck + hotpot was a mistake

[plush hound]

who said you were..

[hard plank]

does this look traced

[sleek granite]

aikoyori ++

[plush hound]

no

[hard plank]

ok good

also kita 全方位中指

[storm forum]

...huh, well...

[dull field]

that seems fine

[storm forum]

Patches working fine... should PR that.

[dull field]

unrelated, but I’ve wanted to make either a joker or voucher effect that doubles your payout for scoring the exact requirements

because that feels like doing something special that deserves a reward

[young timber]

guys give like 3 random effects

like xmult and whatnot

or like randomize suits

[harsh glacier]

kill everyone

kill everyone

kill nxkoo

there

[woven crag]

creepy stake when

[tardy sigil]

Creepy stake:

• random chance of a jump scare when you do literally anything

[woven crag]

doesnt the calc_interest pr already exist that does this

i recall that being something it could do

okay nvm it cant

maybe that should be a thing it could do tho

[distant badge]

someone should do like non-linear stakes you can independently choose for a harder run

[tardy sigil]

Make it a voucher because as a joker it would be shit

[storm forum]

...actually, that PR does more than what I do.

[stable juniper]

hands for days >:3

[tardy sigil]

Errmmm what the Frick???? This car is not supposed to be squared! This is basically aminal abuse!!?? How would you feel is you were squared like that. Freaking hell bro.

[storm forum]

Well, at least @wraith seal and I had the same thought about interest modification, just that I went the simplest route without accounting for potential to calculate...

[plush hound]

i could do this

[stable juniper]

christ.

[plush hound]

???

[stable juniper]

okay Carlos might have an Uncommon / Rare ability ;u;

[tardy sigil]

Im not surprised you've basically already done it lol

[stable juniper]

😭

[desert mirage]

ok

[spiral solar]

Chance for Foxy Jumpscare mod when?

[plush hound]

hi i made that

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1402599821902348319

[storm forum]

...curious - if there was a button to hold, which one would it be to reload localization text? 🤔

[full edge]

Still not actually looked at how the event system in hotpot works, but it's basically a system that just allows you to add a screen with a custom game state, right? I know having a game state between payout and shop and such was a bit of a hassle to set up otherwise

Also, the hotpot alternate shop buttons would also be an amazing system for all mods to have access to. Would break things wide open

Anyway, I think I might make a small archeology mod based on events at some point, that functions like the dreadful mining minigame from Gen 4 Pokémon's underground

[dull field]

yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. Still very specific use case as a voucher, but better for an always-on passive effect

yeah. Hotpot would do wonders for the modding community if they made it into an API bundle

[little ice]

Anyone know what this is (no its not the demo) figured you'll know what it is or if its public

[fallow bramble]

Wish the shop tabs were a smods feature

[limber oak]

smods can only do so much

you still need to lovely patch a currency

[vivid seal]

maybe, but even then the shop icons aren't really concise

stuff like training room or reforging is avaliable from the task bars while nursery and plinko is avaliable from the shop

[little ice]

Anyone?

[limber oak]

when i... get you
and spend 20k

[vivid seal]

it's kind of a pet peeve to me since i don't like having to tab out to the shop to check the nursery if my egg finished giving birth

but then too many people doing those would clog the shop worse than a mobile gacha game microtransaction shop

so i'd prefer if it wouldn't be a smods feature to a extent

[dull field]

I might could make it better by having the t2 voucher give a permanent bonus each time exact score is met.
Is increase interest earned by 1 each time exactly the blind requirement is scored too OP?
-# also I need to fix the wording but whatever that’s a problem for future me

[limber oak]

custom currencies instead SHOULD be a smods feature

[young timber]

yes

[limber oak]

like imagine it

[little ice]

https://youtu.be/A0_tpNGZqCg?si=1EBfxOATdDB6vggo

Figured it out

[young timber]

i would love that

[little ice]

Its a private beta

[vivid seal]

maybe?

[dull field]

it just looks like vanilla balatro to me, am I stupid?
-# I mean, yes I generally AM stupid. But here specifically

[vivid seal]

im kinda mixed about it

[little ice]

Its a beta

[limber oak]

the current way to do it is lovely patch

[vivid seal]

mostly because i've played a handful of PTA and pyroxene is just sad to look at

[young timber]

which is hard and boring

[limber oak]

✅

[frigid mica]

Where’s balatropit

[woven crag]

lovely patches are not that bad

[young timber]

im moving all the dumb joke jokers to a seperate mod

[woven crag]

especially if youre doing something other people have already done

so you can just copy code

[vivid seal]

hotpot atleast did the currency stuff some glory and gave them a distinct use(s)

[limber oak]

thats a w

[limber oak]

yeah im looking over code (thaumaturgy(?) and hotpot)

[woven crag]

lovely patches are literally just

• say where the code goes
• give the code that should be put in

[plush hound]

most mods patches overlap each others

[young timber]

https://github.com/BitterrDoes/BitterStuff/
just so you know i still have like 2 jokers that dont have code i think in the github, and ekko and astra didnt have images

but like gimme like 5 secs to finish yandev so i can sync

[plush hound]

i wish those things don't happen so often

[limber oak]

⏰

[young timber]

yes its gonna be the messiest script EVER

also i forgot how to change rank

is it just :change_rank()

[plush hound]

so that mod incompatibility is going to be the least worry

[young timber]

messiest for only yandev

its gonna be compatible

i hope

[dull field]

yeah, PTA really needs to either make the gacha packs a ton more common or add some new DOS-type cards. I still love it though

[storm forum]

SMODS.modify_rank(card, amount, manual_sprites) or SMODS.change_base(card, suit, rank, manual_sprites)

[vivid seal]

im honestly yet to see a gacha pack ngl

[dull field]

they only show up in the one deck. Which is STUPID

[vivid seal]

damn

so the only use for pyroxenes is dos cards

that's a bummer ngl

[young timber]

how do i do a pseudorandom number should i just times pseudorandom by 14 then math.floor?

[storm forum]

You can put SMODS.Ranks into pseudorandom_element.

[young timber]

ah

[full edge]

Yeah. It only becomes a problem when multiple mods want to do similar but incompatible things

[serene geyser]

Is there a guide on what to do or not to when modding (content wise) in order to keep it balatro like?

[storm forum]

local rndrank = pseudorandom_element(SMODS.Ranks, pseudoseed('whatever'))

Then you can reference the rndrank.key for localization or rndrank.id for comparisons with get_id() and such.

[full edge]

As in, when you're making your own mod?

[serene geyser]

yes

[woven crag]

balance is probably the most important factor i'd say

[wicked jasper]

balancing like vanilla instead of numberslop

[woven crag]

you dont want a mod thats meant to be played with vanilla content yet also completely overshadows vanilla content

[serene geyser]

I think localThunk had posted about it somewhere but I don't know where

[full edge]

Not really. It's pretty subjective. Biggest thing is balance, art-style and complexity. Biggest thing is that there are some things that aren't vanilla at all that for some people do take away that feel, while others don't mind

[limber oak]

imagine hotpot stole ideas that localthunk had

[wanton rapids]

i doubt that

[woven crag]

i doubt thunk was going to add breeding and 4 currencies

and nxkoo killer

[limber oak]

joker-wise also?

not just features

[vivid seal]

i doubt thunk would steal american healthcare and wumpus

[woven crag]

still dont think so

[limber oak]

hmmm

[daring sluice]

nursery is a scrapped vanilla feature trust

[limber oak]

🚂

🪤

i hope ill catch somethimg

[ionic basin]

i wish jokers aged so you could recreate the habsburgs

[young timber]

@frigid mica okay yea sync'd it

[ionic basin]

though many children just by themselves crash your game

[young timber]

you can now yandev all you like

theres like a 33% chance theres an error in my github rn

oh!

wow just great

i was saving images to the wrong repo

[north salmon]

is it 1 337 or 1,337

[young timber]

it says 1,337

[full edge]

think i might be messing up the math

[young timber]

why the fuck is the i not there!?

[young timber]

oh..

[young timber]

where is the i man :(

[woven crag]

maybe

[lime siren]

Nah looks about right

That equals to naninf score trust :clueless:

[tardy sigil]

[lime siren]

Imaginary score sounds diabolical

Oh that's not a reply to the image

[young timber]

oh yea jambatro you can try the mod now if you wanna

[tardy sigil]

Not right now I'm at work 😜😜

[young timber]

fair

but now i need to add a new person

i got so much free time since i got no school tmr 🥨

[tardy sigil]

That's the plan

Shoulda been a gamer chad like me and not gone to uni ez

[young timber]

how about you finish top gear, then doctor who, yk like do two of the best shows

wait @lime siren what are you dojng in uni

[tardy sigil]

Why is Simpsons not in the two best shows

[full edge]

Producer: Common. Gives X2 mult whenever it gets KO'd by Jeremy Clarkson

[young timber]

uuuuuhhh, the others are better imo

[tardy sigil]

❌❌❌❌❌ Simpsons clears doctor who

[young timber]

wwahhhhhttt

only 1 dr who movie so I could only do one dr who joker

[limber oak]

I believe this wholeheartedly

[tardy sigil]

Now it's all making sense

[young timber]

"Master of Business Administration"

its just for like business

[full edge]

mine's barely based on the movie tbh, it's just a general who reference, as the doctor takes companions and leaves them mutilated, cyberenhanced or magically turned into the concept of a second, ya know

[tardy sigil]

Nah it's mega bastard award

[young timber]

true

[lime siren]

And you're calling computer science boring?

[young timber]

i mean true

but im only finding it fun cuz i get to move to syndey (hopefully)

[lime siren]

Eh whatever my uni is fancy and technically there's also "& engineering" at the end of computer science

So its actually a lot more technical ig

[lime siren]

Something something the impending economic collapse

[young timber]

i used to wanna do engineering

until i realised i had to be a nerd for it

for mba i just need my maths

[lime siren]

Oop that's probably borderline rulebreaking maybe

[young timber]

i forgot the rules

i should probably read em again

[hard plank]

you just gave me an idea

[young timber]

ok i get it now

[alpine cosmos]

oh?

what be it

[lime siren]

Wow thats really cool

[hard plank]

what if

blinds were dynamic

like i already have one where it has your score

[sleek granite]

ok im launching my modpac with hotpot

[hard plank]

what if

[sleek granite]

fuck

[hard plank]

there was more

[tardy sigil]

It's so BLUE

[alpine cosmos]

oh im making a whole set of those

[tardy sigil]

WHYS IT SO BLUE

[alpine cosmos]

THATS NOT BALATRO BLUEWHAT IS THAT

[woven crag]

what if there was a boss blind that gained more abilities the more mods you have installed

[hard plank]

what if it was

more dynamic

[alpine cosmos]

like based on the hands you play it also scores?

[daring sluice]

it's blue because it crashed before smods init

[tardy sigil]

What if I have no mods installed 😎

[young timber]

why so blue

[hard plank]

it's when something went really wrong

[woven crag]

🤷

nothing

ig

[hard plank]

i have one idea

I'm gonna need a visual distinction

[young timber]

Ohhh

[daring sluice]

it's designed that way so when you see a crash you immediately know at what stage it crashed

[alpine cosmos]

pffft

[tardy sigil]

Well no I just wouldn't get the boss blind LOL

[hard plank]

yk

hold on imma washb hand

[alpine cosmos]

okay sure thing

you got this

[harsh glacier]

balatro

[lime siren]

Fake balatromp blind where the blind has random jokers and random cards and some ai (the non generative kind like stockfish what's that called again) is trained to play good hands :clueless:

[woven crag]

so like a chess bot

but balatro

[lime siren]

You know the idea is good when you need to draw

[tardy sigil]

@young timber all the top gear ideas I have so far

[hard plank]

the visual distinction is the square blind

[alpine cosmos]

what the fuck

[young timber]

seems good yea yea

[lime siren]

Forgive my ignorance on mods

[sleek granite]

no this is AMM graveyard which i stole from Mysthaps

playing cards go to the graveyard to die

[lime siren]

Is it basically a CardArea for discarded cards during a round?

[full edge]

I'm getting all these aspects of value manip working but god I do think I might need to refactor code to simplify it a bit at some point

[sleek granite]

not discarded

[vivid seal]

what is lyman doing there

[sleek granite]

-# gotta figure out why my art credit tooltips dont have... names

[tardy sigil]

And here's some of the doctor who stuff

top of the box should say "Art Credit"

[lime siren]

Ooh neat

[young timber]

should prolly make regeneration an edition or smth

[vivid seal]

ohhhhhhhh

[young timber]

omgomgomg PELASE can i have the code snippet to check how many mods are installed

PLLEASEEEE

[storm solar]

mcrib

[tardy sigil]

Nah I like it being optional

[sleek granite]

its a list of specifically supported mods

[young timber]

alr

[tardy sigil]

But still kinda common

[woven crag]

theres specific abilities for specific mods

its not based on the mod count

[sleek granite]

im gonna try to play a run with hotpot and my mods

wish me clusterfuck

[tardy sigil]

Cluster fuck be upon you

[young timber]

how do i use it like that then?

[tardy sigil]

😭

[frigid mica]

The cryptid poker hand?

[tardy sigil]

Err clusterfuck is acthually a common phrase referring to a mess, or disorganisation, not just cryptid!

[woven crag]

just manually check next(SMODS.find_mod("<mod id>")) for every mod with an ability

[tardy sigil]

👃

[young timber]

oh @tardy sigil btw you do x3 mult instead of +3 mult

you were a bit too weak

[tardy sigil]

Hooray!

[tardy sigil]

Banger

[young timber]

banger

[sleek granite]

ok so i have successfully made it to the big blind

holy shit theres so much in the shop lmao

[full edge]

Seals are very hard coded so not rushing into those. Time to find weird set ups so I can test how easy it is to break, again

[sleek granite]

maybe i will just give up thac and just make a hotpot addon for the rest of my life

[full edge]

oh wrong image. Read some documentation, I guess

[woven crag]

the descriptions of base and bonus kinda just say the same thing

whats like the actual difference

[fallow bramble]

1 billion new ads

[full edge]

Nothing atm, just a redundancy befor eI add nominal card values to base, or something like that

[sleek granite]

genuinely i just like having so much fucking player agency in the shop ngl

i might even add an entirely new shop

how about that

team thac baybee

[woven crag]

i dont think modifying base.nominal is a good idea
cryptid glitched edition used to do this and it would just make the cards count as different ranks for hand formation which is Not Good

[vivid seal]

hotpot addon that adds 1 more currency and adds run upgrades buyable with it

[storm solar]

12 gerardslops

[vivid seal]

currencygem. Add me. Hire me.

[fallow bramble]

Team thac real...

[full edge]

I had a suspicion, yeah. Part of why it's not implemented yet. But I do want to see if I can change the default chips a card gives without those counting as bonus chips. But we'll see. I've mainly not gone further than what I have now just because I'm not enjoying parsing the code to figure out how to properly set the values and make them be able to be reset much anymore, so I'm keeping additional features for when motivation strikes again

[sleek granite]

bonus_base_chips....

[full edge]

I do think it'd be pretty easy to set up. Got the system already in Kino, just need to make it update the card's UI as well, but that'd just be a hook. But it'd be pulling more things apart and I yearn for something that's simple to code again, haha

[main path]

in reheated we're reworking credits so that they are used to purchase upgrades on an upgrade tree, and replacing the other mentions of credits in the game with budget

[vivid seal]

i see

[sleek granite]

rate my run im still in ante 1

[young timber]

what

speed?

@tardy sigil could i make you 2x mult but it instead of being divisible by 3 its 2/

just to make it viable

[tardy sigil]

If it's not divisible by 2

[young timber]

if its not? alright

that makes it quite fairly viable so i like it 👍

[tardy sigil]

Yeah cuz
Odd x even = even
Even x even = even
Odd x odd = odd
So being divisible by 2 is more likely

[young timber]

ah

also do you have an oc? or is it just your avatar

[tardy sigil]

Yeah Ill find you a good pic now

[willow wolf]

how do i use hotpot contexts

[young timber]

then just for now ill make it like a low quality version of that image

[willow wolf]

like for example

+12 mult for every bottle cap used

[sleek granite]

thank you jtem shop

[young timber]

hahahahaha

[woven crag]

synergy.,..

[wanton rapids]

smods.change_discard_limit crashes when run in a stake...

[woven crag]

do it in an event

the value it changes probably doesnt exist yet during load

[hard plank]

amazing stacked effect

[tardy sigil]

Take your pick

[sleek granite]

does this trigger every time he triggers.... 👀

[wanton rapids]

this is fucked up

[young timber]

how tf did i never realise you were the same jambatro that made the jambatro mod

[fathom gust]

very balanced 🗣️

[tardy sigil]

Bro

It's in my BIO

[young timber]

[sleek granite]

oh

a room between

[tardy sigil]

Say that again?

[hard plank]

ah

[hard plank]

well

there is a man here

[willow wolf]

@hard plank you wanted to crossmod?

[young timber]

negative eg

[wind token]

first tim driver, is this good

[tardy sigil]

Well there is a man here.. he says his name is "Rory Night"

[young timber]

uh yea, just a bit of damage, should avoid for next time

[young timber]

rory what?

[hard plank]

yes 🥺

[woven crag]

rory nite

[tardy sigil]

Thats one hell of a balatro mod!

[willow wolf]

what do u wanna do

[woven crag]

wait no its

rory nyte

[young timber]

they've been getting more realistic

[woven crag]

i think

[wind token]

very modded

[hard plank]

whatever bullshit you wanna but it has to make sense gameplay wise

[young timber]

roaring night time

[willow wolf]

so the aiko joker?

did u add the milkys bullshit effect to the aiko joker

[limber oak]

always bet on jimbo knight

[young timber]

true

[tardy sigil]

Wait yeah... They're not antlers.. they're joker hat points....

Jimbo knight basically confirmed

[willow wolf]

@hard plank milky's bullshit effect

X1 mult for every Milky's Bullshit joker held

[young timber]

@tardy sigil omg its you!

[tardy sigil]

It's me!

🔥

[hard plank]

i haven't

[young timber]

ill prolly add aiko next since they seem to always be on when im on
