glup...
This looks much cleaner 👍
yay! thanks ^^
i'm back
Helo chat
hello!
insolence update coming soon btw
right oops

you can make it pop up faster by spam clicking the close button btw
imagine stuck in stack overflow for 2 hours
also if you've got Windows 11, you can go into the advanced settings and enable a setting called "end task" that'll give you a button that just straight up murders the window when you right click it in the taskbar
like this
alr i implemented the mario party looking joker
do you think it's balanced/good or should i change something?
-# i haven't gotten around to price and rarity yet so feel free to give ideas for these
I don't see why I would ever pick up this card
this applies both play and discard?
yep
-# (i'll change "hand selection" to say "card selection")
can you give me the reason why so i can tweak it a bit maybe?
-1 hand size is very punishing, you can't really use the +1 discard limit to its best and +1 play isnt useful without extra hands
being able to play an extra card isn't going to be useful in 99% of situations because it won't score (I guess it's like discarding 1 card per played hand), and discarding 6 is only useful if my hand it entirely useless. -1 hand size isn't worth the super niche use of discarding an extra card every now and then
if it was -1 selection limit, +1 hand size it would be much more interesting to play with imo
oh yeah good idea!
ty for the feedback!
here:
smth i think we forgot to mention, if you've got three pairs and hyperflushes and other six card hands implemented this version is more interesting than without those hands
yeah i planned to add special hand types originally but i think playing with 4 cards is a more interesting restriction, i'll absolutely keep the idea of three pairs and 6 card flushes in mind for other jokers tho!
this is worse juggler right
oh wait it is
oh that is true
alr changed to +2 hand size and raised price to 6
yeah especially since juggler is common
thank you a lot for the feedback yall
-# i'm such a moron
very rough sketch for an idea i have
he'll give 2x mult if the hand doesnt contain two pair
ability idea for Thumper?
(Common) Played and unscored face cards give $2
i'm having a hard time coming up with abilities recently
this should give money though, since this is a casino cheating device
Unjolly Joker
Uncommon
X1.5 Mult, Pair and Two Pair are scored as High Card
hmm
might be better
the name might need some workshopping though lol
bugfixing is hilarious lmao
oh ok
it has a boob joker
SEX IN BALATRO!?
that's all
i still need to do ghost cards crossmod with big naturals
Ortalab glum joker
What
god fucking damnit
That's like incredibly vague
damp herring...
install the mod and figure out yourself
honestly based tbh
i ain't sending nsfw here
The one you sent was the censored one?
yes
well yea
why do you think there's a giant red blob over it
-# tbh i've been too afraid of doin this shit and put that stuff in a separate addon mod, but now i'm tempted it to merge it into the main mod
boob pizza...
that's what the pizza joker exists for

i feel like the shader credits could go in the mod credits instead of the joker desc
well then that'd get kinda crowded
fair
I should make bizarrtro have crossmod support with jimbo's big naturals
add a multibox or something
fuck it i have nothing better to do
WE are all adding jimbos big naturals compat
okay eris
finally morefluff jimbos big naturals compat
TRUE
Never go to nexusmods with an account
what would hollow joker look like
Even balatro isn't safe
right back where i started
And it is funny poker
good question
hollow naturals
when i eat a pizza i eat the crust first
anyways, i've finally added a function to the kleinian edition after months of no updates as well
sorry this is what i thought when i read this 😭
hollow naturals and there's literally nothing there

hi gng, im new to the scene of modding balatro and came here to ask how to install mods
could anyone help me out?
especially since im used to finding the workshop tab in steam but since theres nothing on the steam page of balatro idk what do to
start here https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki
thx!
oop saw that
was trying to send in a gc
np, if you wanna find mods you can ask around or find them in the modding forum channel
i came here especially looking for the calculate score mod since i thought it would be a nifty QoL feature
gay ass flag design for a gay ass joker im in the middle of
Please get paint.net
mixels 
the whole thing is mixels
ew
the blank corners are mixels too
how is this happening too
ran out of green ink
sometimes when you are done drawing a line or scribble paint tries to correct it
and leave off white spots
I would consider not using ms paint at that point
heck, use gimp, I don't even care
but not ms paint
i use krita
is that widget from ace attorney
that's widget from ace attorney :3
hell yeah (*^ω^)
i love ace attorney

why would you try to do that
the smods cat is not easy to kill
and it will take revenge
well the actual smods cat is dead now 😂 🔪 ahaaa
clearly not, you failed
the smods cat is a ghost now
so like factorio
wait so that's what that spectral means?
i feel like it wouldve been quicker just to grab an acctual gay flag
yeah
tfym this is supposed be a gay flag
so my whole existence is a lie then, great
oh wait that was meant to be the cat
ngl i thought it was just an abstract blob
compare it to my pfp
i see it
i thought it was the cotton eye joe nugget
it's baby smods cat!
what if all the steamodded devs made a mod together
N made joyousspring buddy
shhh
play n's repertorium
i need a 75x95 jimbo
L jokerforge
Uprisal -> Balatro:
If hand is a Three of a Kind containing only 6s, the left card becomes Mult and Polychrome and the right card is destroyed
there's no need to force specific atlas dimensions
typical 'forge experience
i think it should require under 71x95
because of stuff like photo
thoughts?
ig
uh hi c: i hope i'm not interrupting anything important but i'm planning on adding this weird little deck of cards called the decktet to balatro as consumables c: i'm very not sure where to start tho, i can't really do pixel art nor do i know what i want any of them to do ._.
eventually if i become good at balatro modding i might make a mod that replaces the playing card deck with a decktet but that would kinda need a minor overhaul to the game to Work Good
The Decktet is a deck of cards with suits, ranks, and named images. It is structurally unlike ordinary poker and tarot decks, meaning that you can do different things with it.
death
Might I suggest #1349064230825103441 to kick off coding them?
also ms paint????
get my mod once it comes out
re9?
that's like 70 bucks tho
if the whole server gives like 0.001 cents
put a red seal on them
might add the hollow knight to my mod
someone buy me factorio
knight of the hollow kingdom
Balatro Mod Manager kinda sucks, is there a better alternative? should I use Gale instead?
imm
what is gale
a 3rd party thunderstore mod manager
There's ingame mod manager but the only major caveat is that you need to load up the game to use it, and when you download a mod you have to restart the game
I would keep bmm around though as it still has its uses
never heard of Gale so it probably sucks
Gale is a general game modding app
so another thunderstore frontend?
i mean there arent many mods on thunderstore, atleast not that im aware of
or are there
havent checked in a while
what the hell is thunderstore
my biggest issue with BMM is that it doesnt list dependencies or conflicts even though its RIGHT THERE in the mod's .json file
i'd just recommend getting mods manually
individually managing everything with git sounds like a nightmare
oh well
i've wanted to update that
the issue with it was that TS supports very limited versioning
suppose I could write a script to parse over repository links and automatically clone them all to the latest release, and then parse dependencies and conflicts with Perl regex
major.minor.patch, nothing else
so it's staying like this until there's a full release or we get ethan to get it changed, which would certainly take a while
i've yet to upload my mod to any mod manager outside of bmm
well it shouldnt stay at 0.9.8 atleast
whats the width and height for square joker
nexus is much better up to date, yet i have nothing to do with it
it has 1224 and before that 0711
<@&1133519078540185692>
swift work as always, many thanks
i dids it wrong
i made a glitch joker!
how do you change Cryptid off of Madness? I'm clicking on it in mod settings and nothing is happening, and I dont see anything related to it in the .jkr config files
fair, but that still doesnt tell me how to change it
i dont think you can
and this isnt based off of that one cryptid joker
You need to start an entirely new profile
Because cryptid is very well designed
Though the gamesets dont differ much at all
Wilson and Ethan had a long chat about this and iirc the outcome was that we’d be better off making our own host
you can't change the gameset directly after the intro, but you can change the gameset on each individual item
yeah I remember that discussion. it's just kinda annoying that we can't have our betas on TS because it doesn't support revision strings. it not being viable as a host for mod exploring purposes is a separate thing that also happens to relate to the versioning
Why is canvas not exotic
How do you balance this joker… maybe change it so that the retrigger effect would be tied to hand size than joker position?
No wait, people could exploit that far worse
Maybe make it so that it doesn’t look for uncommon jokers too?
is there a way to set load order for BMM?
I mean a lot of reworks can be imagined but the creator will refuse them regardless so theres not really a point
mods control their own load order
Also that
But if they share the same priority i think its just based on the order that nativefs gets them
#suggestion-discussion is useless?
not at all
The creator of canvas is just extremely stingy
And refuses to let any changes be made
And cryptid team just kinda has to respect that because thats what they promise
I wonder how BMM handles smods version
that seems like a poorly thought out decision in my imo
it has been done 
another joker
i made:
...yall don't get to see it though for obvious reasons
get fucked
usually joker art has the word joker in it, even if hidden
yeah atp if there's too many promises to be kept i think the mod needs to be seperated into cryptid legacy and cryptid new where it's built from the ground up or whatever
kinda the point the mods name is : 404 test its not gonna be a vanilla expantion
fair
also heres another joker:
i also have one like that (yes its just that i'm serious)
Hey question
What is the audio file name for the sound that plays when you hover over a playing card?
play my mod...
weird file name but ok
lmao
Scripted Deck
Start with a random Eternal Joker
Scripted deck
fucks up a random script in the mod's code
doesnt allow eternal incompat...
make specific copies of both jokers that are eternal compat 
why did i think that will work
what is this
joker maker express or smth??
yes
i havent been on the modding community in a looong time
joker forge
Joker forge
Invisible Joker (Etcompat)
After 2 rounds, this Joker's effect becomes the effect of a random Joker you have (even after that Joker is removed)
Diet Cola (Etcompat)
The skip tag of Small Blinds is always Double Tag
whats joker forge..?a place to forge jokers or smt? 😂
plan B: make them just straight up useless
Invisible Joker
+1 Joker slot
Diet coke
Skip boss blinds for a double tag 🔥
FOR THOSE WHO SEEK TO STEAL THE POWER OF OTHERS...
is this some type of mod to make balatro a roguelike squared??
yezzzz
wait are YOU making it?? i'm lowkey confused if you're the creator of it or not
yeah
there's not enough events in the mod rn to make every run feel unique, im not sure if i should release the tech demo in the #1209506514763522108
how many eons did it take you to make the ui
1.5 weeks to make UI for the map and whatnots (this is my first balatro mod), and Events ui is using TheEncounter library by SleepyG11
which took me half a week to add
shout out sleepy
insane
as i said, peak work dude keep it up 
john ball a throw

helloWorld('Print')
what do yall do to silence your own "[Steam user] plays Balatro" spam when testing the mod
i go invis on steam but it feels annoying to do
what do you mean by this 
this type popup
have no friends
how often do people look for contributors here? i think it would be cool if people who wanted to made more events for my Map mod, but i do also understand that everyone has their own mod they prefer to work on.
im also a newbie in this community so i dont even know how events like hotpot happened
nothing
i barely have any steam friends so i don't think they get that bothered by it
I just went invisible when they started whining about it :p
i dont :D
you could add inscryption type events
https://github.com/PlasmaPhrase/Hatchet/releases/tag/v1.6.0-beta
Hatchet v1.6.0-beta is out now! Check it out :)
like card upgrade and stuff
🐣

astra just randomly posted about it one day
there's also another one happening in the hotpot discord next month btw

im crying smod cat has been encased in card 😢😢😢😢

#4f6367‼️
is there a mod that fixes the UI overlap from using multiple mods?
also my mod isnt released yet
unjankify fixes some of it
is BMM unusable now, what are the alternatives?
what did slime d. stuff mean by this 
i do
❌
cough
balatro black
not here you don't
Joker.jkr
it looks better that way tbh
❌
i'm too much of a lazy fuck to change it
it'll be way too saturated ingame
which mod for making custom challenges
it looks fine except for the desintegrating cube imo
love how you flipped the whole card instead of changing 2 pixels to make redprint look left
it's funnier that way
can't you just
change 1 line of brainstorm
from what i remember with my evil brainstorm test it broke with if the number of joker slots is anything other than 5
are you bychance using jokerforge
or maybe i just suck at coding who knows
as i said, evil brainstorm is 5 feet underground
i don't even remember if i have it archived on the old version of my mod
i tried coding a mod once and it took me a week to stop the game from crashing ( i now just use jokeroofrge then edit all the code )
nope
evilstorm is die
if you can extract regular brainstorm i could probably code in evil brainstorm
question because i dont remember : does lua allows negative index
im not a programmer but i can try lmao
if yes, then evil brainstorm is trivial
maybe¿¿
idr
if no then eh still trivial actually just slightly more words needed
long time since i modded ball-a-throw
like 2 lines extra top
i was going to make it index though the joker to the index equal to the number of jokers owned
wait
i just remembered how to make evil brianrain
i'll try to see if it works

ok first evil brainstorm test resulted in a crash
ok second test only works if all joker slots are full
Saxton Hale - Pay $10 to upgrade operator, increase price by x10 after use.
How are you doing that
Dawg all you need to do is grab the brainstorm code and replace [1] with [#G.joker.cards]
thats what i just realized
i was doing it with the max jokers thing
😭
Evil brainstorm found alive in an alleyway after almost 1 year of disappearance ❤️🩹
yall are gonna HATE this mod because theres no descriptions on what stuff does gotta TEST it
( im talking about the mod im working on )
make one of the descriptions be a completely legible description but encoded in base64 or any other text encrypting method
the 100 random scammers tf2 I have added can deal with it
lowkey funnyist idea ive ever heard
how does a straight even contain a pair (non-Cryptid)
well it's not necessarily a straight that contains a pair, it's just a played hand that contains both a straight and a pair. four fingers
ortalab also has the scenic route joker, which explicitly allows straights to be made with pairs (e.g. 7 7 6 6 5 counts as a straight)
where can i find a download for jens alamanac?
it's called polterworx now, and the download is hosted on the pwx discord server
i don't have the invite link on hand but you can probably find it in this server somewhere
made a tarot card art!
Settled.
how would i word a deck unlock condition where you need to play a hand of at least 3 of a specific card, and can only consist of that card?
<@&1133519078540185692> 🔫
are there any rules of coloring so it feels "balatro-y"?
other than the most used 128/255 colors?
my advice is to follow your heart
i mean this may be obviouse but theres always the dark grey color that balatro uses for outlines
this is the best i could think of so far
okay nice
would anybody like to playtest my mod?
is it in any way related to the fact that murphy was teasing some sort of mod jam ?
oh yeah wwsnt there some smods feature for card upgrades
you can add perma bonuses yeah
oh thats for playing cards
yeah i tried that on other cards and it didnt work lol
i guess its hard to do for jokers since everyone's extra paramters could be named everything
okay lemme get to pc and send an evil code for the machinations in my head
also how would inscryption type event select cards ?
G.hand for random 8 cards and then cardarea for selection ?
i mean its balatro you could just do it the tarot booster way
or that
uhhh i guess i have a consumable idea just now lol
-- evil event that increments every number in your joker
for key, param in pairs(card.ability.extra) do
if type(param) == "number" then
card.ability.extra[key] = card.ability.extra[key] + 1
end
end
dont forget to give a chance for it to just die instead
that increases for each campfire (inscryption) use
since u can use the campfire multiple times
actually i dont know how campfire in incryption works, is it 100% guarantee to live on 1 upgrade, and possible death afterwards? or is death always possible
No, that wouldn't work for most vanilla jokers.
is it because card.ability.extra is more of a smods thing?
No, it's because most vanilla jokers don't put their values in extra
i believe first buff is 0%, second is 22.5%, 45% third, 67% on fourth
what if i incrememnted all numbers in ability as well 
what the hell's h_mult
me when i multiply my joker horizontally
how do i change it back
Impossible
wtf is that room name ||translates to "retrigger sfx are kinda chill"|| that literally spells Cryptid
and I took a look at the stream preview, they're playing Cryptid

me when i slop all over my numbers
is there anyway i could improve on this
Why are you styling the text like that
you just gave me an idea for a joker lmao
-# not copying dw
because low quality funny
But like is it intentionally bad text styling or
yea
A
B
not use jokerforge probably
also read house of leaves
did you read house of leaves or are you just saying that
yea i read it
oh ok
i havent yet i probably will sometime this year
i don't dedicate a lot of my time to reading, unfortunately
itll also explain why every word of house is blue
ahh what is it
h_ is for held in hand effects
or what will it be most likely
well house being blue is intentional
since the card is a MyHouse.wad reference (and by extension a House of Leaves reference, where the word house is in blue)
hi guys this is probably a really stupid question, but how exactly do you start the tutorial on balatro mp?
would rather get it over with because my friend skipped it and i dont exactly trust both of us to figure it out on the fly
and by that imean i dont trust me to do it on the fly
Whar is balatro mp again
multiplayer
Oh
make a new profile.?
Idk if mp has a new tutorial button or smthng
Just download debug+ and type /tutorial or smth idk
Assuming that tutorial works the same way cryptid tutorial does, new profile
i am on a new profile and this is all i can see so
i figured in advance i would have to make a new profile considering i havent unlocked everything anyways LMAO
The gameplay is simple enough to skip the tutorial for
The only multiplayer aspect of it is that there's a lives system and if you fail a blind you lose a life, first one to run out loses
oh wait so is there any meaningful difference for multiplayer that i need to be aware of, just generally (and ignoring the specific ruleset which im sure i can figure out by reading right right right)
oh okay
mp has changes to vanilla jokers as well but i think thats it
Along with new jokers and some edited ones, there's a special type of blind that pins you against the one you're playing against and both of you need to score as much as possible, the one who scores less loses a life
This could be used for a Balatro-specific caption ngl
oki ty!
i dont even know what im doing anymore
hi gng, so after installing the lovely injector and steammodded i was going to ask which QoL mods i should get
maximus and all in jest
what do they do?
minor spelling mistake
thx, i dont like modifying the base game when playing modded bcuz often the mods make the game unbalanced
btw what does handy, cartomancer and saturn do?
handy example feature: dragging your cursor to quick select cards
cartomancer example feature: preview shop when in booster pack
i don't have a list of all features in my head but they have an in game config you can check out
also idk what saturn is
unblind is also helpful
don't use Saturn, it's known for compatibility issues
it shows you a list of the current blinds and skip tags while in shop without having to open a submenu
if you have too many consumables itll squash them into groups
for consumable stacking (notable feature of Saturn), use overflow
oohhh, i like that
sounds like heaven
same for jokers i you have a lot of them it puts them in a submenu i think
Cartomancer does that
ah yeah didn't see they were talking about saturn
i believe cartomancer also does the consumable stacking
jokerdisplay is a qol mod that shows you relevant info under each owned joker
btw yall what do you think about this joker:
basically a undecisive blueprint? looks fun
but then on the wall it copies your egg and not your cardsharp or sum
reminds me of whoprint from yahimod
but iirc who print will just copy anything not caring about compatability
Wait, are you Heaven? The one who used to have a Teto pfp????
tho most people go against it
why tho it's pretty good no?
it can be buggy at times, but i like it
this is the most work ive put into one of my jokers yet
It's a nice tool especially for discovery, but the lead dev seems to disappear for periods unannounced, meaning critical bugs are sometimes left in for ages. I think last month, it added a feature that would reduce your fps to crumbs and it wasn't addressed for at least a week or two, maybe more. In the past it's also given issues with smods versioning especially in combination with cryptid. Though that's just generally an issue, it's just that bmm makes it less obvious to people what smods version they're running
i almost feel ashamed
It also doesn't clean up old smods installs properly right now, so if you have used it before last week and try and use it again now you will crash on launch
And it doesn't install mods properly sometimes seemingly at random
Hey, guys... So, I really want to mod a pack into the game, but I am very bad at coding. Can you help me please?
I recommend checking out JokerForge if you're not interested in making a more complicated mod and just want to add a pack
Thank you, very much
yeah this happened to me
honestly im thinking about making my own mod manager lol
i'd have to find a UI platform that works cross platform though because im a linux user lol
insert xkcd #927
i mean i have multiple issues with BMM that i think i could rectify in my own one
give IMM a shot before you increase the amount of competing standards
I know @teal sky is working on a mod manager that's supposed to be more aligned with how SMODS works, so that it can be intergrated
ive heard its good but i also just don't use it
meow?
downloading mods yourself is fairly easy if youre willing to go to a website and click thrice
hi corobo
hiii
Are you still working on that mod manager project, corobo?
I think it was Photon, yeah. I've not been keeping up to date at all with that, haha
i mean
the api for photon is completely finished
you can pretty trivially implement it in an in-game implementation
but I don't think we've actually done anything regarding the in-game implementation in the 8 months we've had it
becuz the others have been busy and I dont know how to do ui
the website is fully up and running which is like
90% of it
Oooh, that's still good progress though. It was your project that Eremel was keeping up with, right?
Would you not be able to poke crust and use his IMM UI? haha
i think so
still looking for additional help with in-game photon
i mean imm uses photon
Ooooh, man I'm out of the loop a lot more than I was expecting than, haha
Well @mighty coral if you want there's room to work on a better mod manager 😛
https://photonmodmanager.onrender.com/ photon the website looks like this rn
Browse, download, and manage Balatro mods with Photon Mod Manager.
i dont know how to use balatro's UI system and i'm not interested in having a mod manager in game or relying on an index
oh how would you consider a mod manager without an index? 🤔
i mean u do need an index
either ur own or someone elses but u need one if ur gonna have a mod manager
otherwise theres no mods
unless u mean like a search engine or something
which seems prone to failure
the user would provide the link to the repository. git has tags built in with github having a REST API exposing Releases on repositories which is also a good way of going
I would offer to help with the UI for Photon in game but I've yet to enjoy working on UI outside of necessity haha
if you guys want to see it, this is the pack I'm trying to put in
Oh so you're thinking mostly of an install manager?
gitlab and open source forges like forgejo probably also have APIs of the same vein
if thats what you want to call it
it still manages mods
the furthest i'd go in terms of an index would be a mod ID and a link to its repository
i swear this gets longer everytime
and maybe a description
Yeah fair, I think the word used has been something I've tripped over already in the past, haha
how long is it taking for you?
my laptop when its running in high performance mode does this in maybe 5 seconds at most
i feel like at that point u might as well just do it manually
i got like 40 mods up this games ass
oh yea did the supremacy work
long edition names my beloathed
providing a zip file, unzipping it, and moving it into the mods folder takes longer than pasting a URL in and clicking download :v
yeaa its hard to find people to help with that sort of stuffs
also switching versions would be easier, i'd just make it a drop down based on the Git tags or the GitHub/Git forge releases
i guess
i did also make something like that tho
it was the precursor to photon
a manager without an index isn't going to be particularly useful for the vast majority of people
i mean technically i only used it to automatically update mods when an update was present
but it theoretically could do anything you just said
Might be a fun personal project still of course
i mean thats nice but i make software thats useful to me and i find it would be useful
if im not being paid for it, im not interested in the vast majority of people lol i'm interested in what i want it to do and if someone else uses it and reports a bug i'll fix it :v
Oh, Eremel, do you know if ignore_showdown_check is functional, normally?
I don't remember
I remember working with it on my weights branch
let me just fix this copy_card bug and then I'll take a look
eremel can u help with in-game photon i will give many hugs
great
he works
It's the main thing I'm tripping over to fix the blind stuff, just because it seems to not work like I'm expecting it to, haha
that's cool, but surely you can just use a preexisting git implementation to do this and save yourself time?
im not sure what you mean by this
Mainly confused as to whether it actually ever gets set due to it ending up as a parameter in the return from SMODS.add_to_pool(), but blinds in_pool functions don't seem to ever check or interact with ignore_showdown_check
like, I clone all my mods using the vsc terminal (because I am constantly working on mods anyway) and can select whatever tag from them I want to use
I don't need to write a custom manager to do that for me because it's already done
i always clone via terminal except i dont care about versions because if a mod doesn't work then i will simply not install it
because thats not a GUI and wont have a launch button
or i fix it but im lazy so thats rare
thats one thing i like about BMM is that i can just launch the game from there
well knock yourself out, I just don't see it being useful for more than a handful of people
@full edge here is my new pool function
haven't looked at it for a while though 🤣
Oh, nice. For my purposes, it's also rewritten, but it should be pretty easy to fuse them if both PRs end up done, haha
Seems like your code still uses the current way to check for ignore_showdown_check, though, which I'm still not sure ever gets checked
it's a flag you can return from an in_pool function
so if you do return true, {ignore_showdown_check = true} it'll always be in the pool
Ah, okay. So the check that gets set on the blind object itself is never actually used, right?
when you define a new blind, you can set it in the prototype
---@field ignore_showdown_check? boolean Sets if `in_pool` should be respected regardless of whether a showdown Boss Blind was requested or not.
I don't know why it says that, I don't think that's ever been a thing
it probably makes more sense than having it in an in_pool return though
Hi, I'm just following the guide on Github. I'm stuck on this step. I can't find anything like this
win+r, then type %appdata%\balatro
appdata is hidden by default, make sure to enable seeing hidden folders in the view of your file explorer
I've ticked the option "hidden items"
But still nothing in the Balatro folder
its Balatro in the AppData hidden folder, not the other way around
Doing another comprehesive search, but while I run that, would you be able to list the path to that folder please? I'm finding things like appcache, but nothing specifically named appdata at least in the steam folder
is this gonna replace get_new_boss
wait nvm
your os is windows and you installed it from steam, right?
so get_new_boss will be using this helper function to grab the pool
Yes, I downloaded Balatro from Steam
is your os windows?
Yes
get_new_boss will be replaced I think, yeah
I'm sure the SMODS team'll have suggestions to improve it, but this is the get_new_boss replacement function I'm working on atm
press win+r, then type %appdata%\balatro
Perfect, you're a saviour. I seem to already have a mod folder there too so👍
Just want to double-check that this looks correct before I move on
yes
tysm
it is that one, yes
@full edge how does your system define which slot a blind can appear in?
blinds are put into the 'boss' pool by default, and have a pool you can add keys to when you define them, or mid-run with a function
hey thats thing again
<@&1133519078540185692>
how does this work with min/max ante?
those are checked separately, just like the in_pool function is checked separately. The pools that are set up the full pool something draws from, and then the additional constraints are applied
with each slot having a fall back
I'm not sure it's the most efficient system but the functions around it are more core. The way the pools are handled should be easy enough to swap out
I think I've fixed the last edge cases up now to write up the PR for feedback, though, so you'll be able to see the guts in an hour or two depending on whether I convince myself to grab lunch, haha
Does anyone know a mod that allows you to easily put custom images in for say jokers or sleeves?
You mean like texture packs or?
So I literally just want to be able to replace the image for cards with any random image file of my own
i mean theres #1300851004186820690 for texture packs
But like depends on what you mean by easily
Hmmm okay I'll look into it. Thank you
heya, im trying out cryptid and just modding in general, every time i score a hand a calculating screen pops up for a split second and its starting to give me a headache, is there any way to disable it? im using Talisman and Cryptid
it's Talisman feature, used to handle massive calculations without hard-crashing the game
no I dont think so
<@&1133519078540185692>
if you're seeing it regularly and for a split second, chances are your device isn't meeting mid-end
hot jokers in my area
bro had that preloaded
Gone and forgotten
I didnt even have my phones keyboard up lmao
What is the use of this Joker? (From Ortalab)
well it copies the effect of the last sold joker
I dunno what else to tell you
budget showman
adressing the bot spam posts, i think the mod team should make it so it's impossible to send discord links for new users or something
op af
but all of them
When you sold Joker, you usually want to get rid the old Joker effect
should be like 1 in 3 for every joker to turn into blueprint
no because then you have joker remaining and that's cracked
Not a great effect. Risks making runs very monotonous if it's too easy to get. Besides being good, blueprint's also rare so you don't end up having like 3 of them to homogenize builds every run
What's the point though? Why not just not selling it?
ah yeah kinda balances itself i like it
but the effect itself isn't great
whats the font used for the joker text on all the cards
it's in #1456641762591510671 somewhere i think
they were asking for the joker text on the card sprite, not the game font
the joker card font we dont really know the name, but there is a recreation in the channel i linked
that one?
that's the consumable text
how many fucken fonts do we have
a lot
at least 3
what joker you bean looking at that has 5x5 text
nvm then, I conflated that with legendary text
legendary is inconsistent
but the smallest possible is still 5x5
Trying to port CRT shader to SMODS.ScreenShader
Its going great
most letters ste 3x4 iirc
5x3 if you dont count nwm
laughs in 1x1 pixel font
https://gooseninja.itch.io/one-by-one-pixel-font
They should add this to Trance
balatro but the gameplay has the same effect as the background
btw I have a modified version of m6x11plus that supports Vietnamese (packed inside the language mod )
I could do more if I have time
chat i have a joker idea rn
how easy is it to change the game settings dynamically?
-# is there something for it in steamodded or is it like some blackmagic fuckery library?
it's the easiest with sound actually, you just need an ease event
what about language?
that can be a bit more complicated
Isaac Challenge
Tooltips are disabled
blind challenge:
your screen is turned off, fuck u
should just do G.FUNCS.change_lang{config = {ref_table = G.LANGUAGES[lang_key]}}
it's THAT easy??
-# cool!
ty!
but still, it's not recommended to do that in a live run
Dial-Up Poker
Challenge
Your cursor starts off with 100ms input delay
Increase delay by 100ms when Blind is beaten
It horrifies me that many people would genuinely want to play balatro like this
because it wipes your run, literally
just make a separate function doing a similar thing but minus that
fk, the popup obscured G:delete_run()
if you're removing the wiping animation, expect the game to freeze for a bit depending on how large the loc file is
challenge that disable saving
whenever you go to menu it wipes your run
prevents savescumming too
Challenge that disables the power grid in your city
challenge that deletes a random system file everything you sell something
challenge that makes you play black deck
challenge that replicates v1.0.0 black deck gold stake
challenge that bricks your pc if you fail a run
challenge with lovense support
I've seen Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, when is somebody gonna make an MtG mod
magic the jokering:
i think it's the least interesting of the three tho (<- biased)
the mod is, yeah
i mean technically
you could make a lose/lose mod
but you'd have to change the small and big blinds for it to rly be effective
did i win
is mtj still being worked on?
the dev was in modding-dev the other day i think? or maybe it was someone making a fork
ill check the repo and see if there are any forks with a high amount of stars
2 forks, both last updated about 3-4 months ago
last full release of MtJ was May 1st, 2025 but latest commit was 2 weeks ago
Where's a good place to paste an error message I got?
i think they posted a teaser of their own version of planeswalkers in their thread ?
3x5 for consumables, not fixed though
also looking at the repo the planeswalker-dev branch was last commited to 2 weeks ago
so yeah, i would guess its still in dev
im testing the main branch rn to see if it works, will test the aforementioned branch here in a sec
i believe its custom art
but someone did make a font sheet
honestly kinda glad I can manage mods with git for once instead of fumbling around with the garbage that is Vortex/Nexus
the humble file system
i love cloning 66mb smods
I just wish MO2 worked for more than just Bethesda games
funny enough i can recycle the font i use for inscyption cards
both branches seem to work fine, though a lot of the jokers are missing full art
bump - i'm looking for a better way to word this unlock condition
Play a Three of a Kind comprised of Queens of Diamonds
i would hope so since drago put a lot of work into it
you should phrase it more like imo:
Play a hand with more than 3 cards that contains only queens of diamonds
nvm three of a kind is better to mention
a mod of one(1) card
What's the mod that adds the hand calculator while playing?
<@&1133519078540185692>
monospace variant of the consumable fonts
is there any type of mod that allows me to port my iphone save into my steam so im not limited to just my phone
damn, okay thank you
in modding rules
tbh i might just start fresh on my pc then use steam link or something to play on my phone if i dont want to sit at the pc
i’ll still be able to use mods that way to
you can use DebugPlus to re-create your save
that is pretty much it tho
okay i’ll check that out, also i am newish to this game and first time exploring the modding scene is there a site i can go to and find mods that way or is it best to look around in here
#1209506514763522108 or the modded balatro wiki
