Either I will get back to you as soon as I can (if i'm not sleeping) or the answers here will help you install the modloader and get around common errors. If I'm not around, someone else might be able to help if they happen to come by here, and I'll be writing a Steamodded installation guide/ Balamod installation guide very soon for both Steamodded and Balamod w/ a section to get around common issues and an FAQ section as well 🙂

Modding/Steamodded/Balamod installation help (soon to be guide), ask installation questions here!

i'm trying to get the modloader to download but i always get stopped due to a trojan virus. Is there an easier way to mod the game?
dense plank
I have setup the Steammodded loader through the Powershell injector. From what I can gather of the shitty explanation for installing mods, this should work right? But for some reason, when i launch the game, there is no mods or even steammodded being loaded.

I think I need a way to get the injector off of someone else via email or something because I'm unable to download anything at all.
Because of like I said windows defender stops me because it's detecting it as a trojan virus

Windows defender and other AV regularly block the modloader from installing (this is pretty normal with a lot of modloaders bc of how they work, which is by modifying the exe file. Not all modloaders do this of course, but many do).
You need to temporarily disable/pause whatever AV you have to install the original non PS modloader properly,** but if you use the PowerShell version steamodded_ps_injector.exe you shouldnt even need to disable your AV! Some AV might still need to be disabled with the powershell version, but most just work**
Also,** if you're using chrome you might need to change ur settings if it keeps blocking the download**. You can** either change the security settings in chrome to allow downloads, or you can just use another browser like firefox to download the installer** (remember the one you want is steamodded_PS_injector.exe from here: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases/tag/0.7.2 )

I think you likely messed up installing steamodded, plus a lot of these look like the full source code folders and not the actual mod files you need. reply back here and I'll help you out. Also some folders in ur pic, like steamodded-main, shouldn't need to be there. Was that just the name of the folder that came with of one of the mods u tried downloading? Or is that actually the steamodded folder/source code?
languid yarrow
also thanks for helping out @north zodiac 😄 I also helped someone else out with windows 11 btw, and yeah disabling defender got it to work with the original version of steamodded. With the new powershell version of steamodded I don't think that's even needed anymore too, so that's really nice!
Lovely injector is awesome tho and @wooden nebula recently made a guide on how to inject Steamodded with it! I think I'll be pinning that here as well bc it's friggin awesome and so helpful, and since it doesn't modify the exe file to inject the modloader but instead modifies the exe directly from your RAM, it doesnt trigger almost any AV!
For everyone having issues installing Steamodded: if you're having trouble getting Steamodded to work because it's getting blocked by your AntiVirus, try Lovely Injector!
It injects the Steamodded modloader from RAM whenever you open the game (instead of injecting Steamodded by modifying the balatro.exe file) so it doesn't trigger most AV! It takes a few more steps to setup the first time, but it can help a lot if your AV keeps blocking Steamodded, and in general is a cleaner way to run the Steamodded modloader! It's a great option to get Steamodded for Balatro up and running!
@wooden nebula made a great guide on how to install it, go to their Post (link to the Discord Post attached here) to check it out and** make sure to give a big thanks to @wooden nebula for making the guide and @torpid jetty for making Lovely Injector** (and spearheading r2modman support for Balatro with the other Thunderstore devs, which will make installing mods and modloaders a LOT easier for everyone!) !!!
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1217867725532041369 Link to the guide here ⬅️ ‼️
Also if you're having issues with your AV blocking Steamodded but for whatever reason don't want to install or setup Lovely Injector (which I highly recommend using if you can), use the newer Powershell version of Steamodded's installer/injector! The PS version doesn't trigger most AV so there's no need to pause them to install Steamodded!
In order to run the original non-PowerShell installer of Steamodded (steamodded_injector.exe), you needed to need to temporarily disable/pause whatever AV you have, but if you use the PowerShell version steamodded_ps_injector.exe you shouldnt even need to disable your AV! Some AV other than Windows Defender might still need to be disabled with the PowerShell version, but most just work without having to disable your AV!
Also, if you're using chrome to download Steamodded, you might need to change ur settings if it keeps blocking the download. You can either change the security settings in chrome to allow downloads, or you can just use another browser like firefox to download the installer (remember the one you want is steamodded_PS_injector.exe from here https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases

I mentioned that in the FAQ actually:
but if you use the PowerShell version steamodded_ps_injector.exe you shouldnt even need to disable your AV! Some AV other than Windows Defender might still need to be disabled with the PowerShell version, but most just work without having to disable your AV!
and actually I just realized I mentioned it in my response to you as well:
You need to temporarily disable/pause whatever AV you have to install the original non PS modloader properly, but if you use the PowerShell version
steamodded_ps_injector.exeyou shouldnt even need to disable your AV! Some AV might still need to be disabled with the powershell version, but most just work

Cant exactly list every AV out at the moment 😅 but yeah when I do make a more thorough guide (which I've been putting off doing forever, keep getting busy and forgetting to do it) I'll give better instructions on how to install with PS and how to disable your AV if it needs to be disabled (for windows defender I have a pretty simple answer and thats to use Defender Control to easily disable Defender with 1 click: https://github.com/qtkite/defender-control , but I'll also try to include manual steps for how to disable defender manually; most other AV just have a 1 click button you can click to pause protection)

I can help you out though don't worry! shouldn't need a VC either but if that's needed I can do that too. First tell me what happened when you ran the steamloaded injector
And also what kind of crash are you getting? Is it showing a crash screen? I think I likely know the cause of it but I wanna make sure first
fickle sierra
it's always stating a certain file does not exist. and it changes every time. so then i have to verify the files and start all over again. VC is more than likely needed.
just let me know when we can vc
languid yarrow
Can you show me a screenshot of which file? I think its the 7zip one if I'm correct, and I know what causes that issue
show me a screenshot if you can of the file that doesn't exist. Also are you on windows 10 or 11?
fickle sierra
10
languid yarrow
I'd like to keep things here if possible so others will be able to see how we fixed your problem as a reference. I've helped many people in DMs by now but the more I can help here, the better 😄
I'll leave the VC/screenshare help as the last resort
fickle sierra
but the thing is the file constantly changes.
languid yarrow
but the thing is the file constantly changes.
Yep because its a temp file
Don't worry I'm pretty sure I know the issue and the cause and how to fix it, just give me an example screenshot so I can confirm thats the issue
fickle sierra
well the error happens when i install a mod and the game restarts
languid yarrow
Install a mod? Wait have you gotten steamodded working then without any mods?
If you delete all mods from the mods folder in appdata/roaming/balatro/mods does it show steamodded on the top right of the main menu?
fickle sierra
it works until i install a mod.
languid yarrow
If you delete all mods from the mods folder in appdata/roaming/balatro/mods does...
it shows steamodded in the top right of the main menu of the game..?
fickle sierra
yes
languid yarrow
gotcha, show me how your mod folder looks like and the mods your trying to use right now
it's likely just bc the mod files were just placed mods folder the wrong way, so it's causing an error. Could also be an outdated mod that isn't working on the newest steamodded yet, I can double check
fickle sierra
languid yarrow
can you give me a link to the mod?
languid yarrow
your missing the assets folder
grab that and put the assets folder in your mods folder
most mods actually use that same assets folder, so if you ever try to use another mod in the future that needs to use 'assets', and you likely will, you'll run into issues
so instead what you should do is put both of those in balatro/mods/mikesmodcollection
make a new folder called that and place both that assets folder and mikesmodcollection.lua in there
fickle sierra
is it possible to download everything at once or do i have to download everything seperately. not familiar with github lol.
languid yarrow
click on the link I sent you, its a zip with everything you need in it
fickle sierra
oooohhh thanks. So do i put the zip in there or extract then move?
languid yarrow
nono
open the zip up
okay first actually
go to your mods folder and make a folder called MikesModCollection
fickle sierra
So extract first?
languid yarrow
So extract first?
again no wait
first go to your mods folder and make a folder called MikesModCollection
then move mikesmodcollection.lua into that folder
don't extract anything just yet, especially not to the mods folder at the moment
start by doing the above first
fickle sierra
ok
languid yarrow
it should look like this:
but for mikesmodcollection instead
most mods come in releases that are premade so they're easier to install but some come like this and you have to create the folders yourself 🥲
fickle sierra
wait. where do i get assets
fickle sierra
yes
languid yarrow
okay now the only thing in your mods folder should be that mikesmodcollection folder
fickle sierra
yes
languid yarrow
now you can open that zip I had you download, DONT EXTRACT IT ALL just use 7zip to open it up
lmk when you have it open in 7zip
fickle sierra
its opened
frail steeple
hey i'm sorry to bother but i am around the same stage as you, i have this and it don't make anything so i don't now what is the nexte stap
languid yarrow

I gotchu just give me a sec
frail steeple
(and sorry for the english i'm french)
frail steeple
I gotchu just give me a sec
no problem of course
languid yarrow
its opened
you can just drag and drop the "assets" folder from the 7zip window to the windows explorer window with MikesModCollection folder
or you can extract it to appdata/roaming/Balatro/mods/MikesModCollection, whichever you prefer. Personally I prefer to drag and drop because it's easier. You only need to move the assets folder, nothing else. You can also copy and paste it there if you want from the 7zip/winrar to the MikesModCollection window, however you prefer it all does the same thing
fickle sierra
assets have been moved
languid yarrow
assets have been moved
okay nice, you should now have a folder called Assets and the mikesmodcollection.lua file in the appdata/balatro/mods/mikesmodcollection folder yeah? and nothing else
frail steeple
got it thanks!
gg bro
so @languid yarrow do i juste do the same thing? i don't see the same file as you did?
languid yarrow
got it thanks!
NICEEEE!!!! glad to help 😄
languid yarrow
so <@274835786304585739> do i juste do the same thing? i don't see the same file...
yep pretty much! I just helped someone with jellymod actually too,twice now! ahaha
make a folder in mods called Jellymods
fickle sierra
so to recap. just move lua and assests?
languid yarrow
then drag all these to that folder @frail steeple
languid yarrow
so to recap. just move lua and assests?
ehhh whatcha mean? you mean in general for all mod installation or just for the mod ur using?
fickle sierra
all
frail steeple
then drag all these to that folder <@701530594923774042>
how do i have all this ? do i have to uncompressed the document?
languid yarrow
all
depends, so most mods like Six Suits for example: https://github.com/Aurelius7309/SixSuits/releases/tag/0.3.0 when you download from the releases tab, they come in a zip with the folder already made
so all you gotta do is extract/drop that folder in the Mods folder and thats it!
fickle sierra
alright
languid yarrow
If a mod only has one file like dunkeymod.lua, then all you gotta do is drop that in the mods folder
if a mod doesn't have a releases tab on Github or asks you to download an assets folder AND a lua file, you need to make folder for those in Mods and drop those in that folder
languid yarrow
how do i have all this ? do i have to uncompressed the document?
do you have 7zip?
frail steeple
yes
languid yarrow
okay perfect, just open it with 7zip
then make sure you have a file explorer tab with the appdata/roaming/balatro/mods/Jellymod folder open
then you can either just drag and drop all of them from the 7zip window by highlighting them all with your mouse or hitting ctrl + A to select all the files in there, then dragging them over to the file explorer window with Jellymod folder open
or you can select them all in 7zip and press "ctrl + c" to copy them and then just paste them in the Jellymod folder
frail steeple
languid yarrow
or if you want hit that extract button in 7zip
frail steeple
all is in the files
languid yarrow
and then navigate to the jellymod folder and extract there. They all do the same thing, the above 2 ways are just faster for most
languid yarrow
PERFECT! just delete the jellymod.zip in your mods folder now since its not needed
frail steeple
and now is it good?
languid yarrow
and now is it good?
yep!
try to open the game now
oh you might wanna rename the folder to jellyjokers in the future
just so you dont get confused if you ever download the full jellymod lol
it's not needed tho, it can be named whatever
frail steeple
it doesn't change anything?
languid yarrow
nah haha
its fine as is but its just so you remember that its not the full jellymod but actually only jellyjokers
u can leave it if you want too
frail steeple
no it's steel only normal tarot cards
and normal jokers
do i oppen it with "steammodded" or normal
because normal it don't change anything and with steammodded it don't start
languid yarrow
no it's steel only normal tarot cards
what error do you get with steamodded?
Just tested and its working for me
what version of Steamodded are you on? and are you using any other mods?
let me see the crash page if you can
frail steeple
it oppened a black screan with texte loading and all this and the it closedf itseld
(like the command control i don't now if you see what i mean)
languid yarrow
the cmd prompt
wait how did you open the game
have you ever installed steamodded to the balatro.exe?
and then launched balatro and saw it say steamodded in the top right?
like how it does in my screenshot?
frail steeple
languid yarrow
You use that to install steamodded but its not how you play Balatro
frail steeple
like how it does in my screenshot?
absolutly not i doesn't see antything about that😭
languid yarrow
also that version is known to have issues when installing Steamodded with most AV
okay yeah you never installed steamodded haha
I'll tell you how to do it 😉
frail steeple
LOL i'm really sorry
languid yarrow
LOL i'm really sorry
haha no you're all good! That's what this guide is here for! 😄
Now more people will be able to learn how to install Steamodded too!
frail steeple
thank you
languid yarrow
So actually I'm very glad for your contribution here 😌
Okay first download the powershell installer of balatro from here: https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/releases/download/0.7.2/steamodded_PS_injector.exe
And what antivirus do you have? If it's just defender it SHOULD work without having to disable it with this powershell version of the steamodded injector, but you might need to disable it too, there's different reports from different people it seems
languid yarrow
okay nice
now where is Balatro installed?
what folder?
c:/games/balatro? or the default steam location on the c drive? or on a D drive?
frail steeple
ok so i'm not sure of understanding the question so depending the answer can be: on my desk, on steam, or in the appdata file
languid yarrow
did you install the game from Steam?
or did you move the game folder somewhere else?
frail steeple
did you install the game from Steam?
yes
languid yarrow
Okay open Steam
frail steeple
Okay open Steam
okay done
frail steeple
done
languid yarrow
and look for "browse local files"
frail steeple
i'm in it
languid yarrow
right click on the path bar in windows explorer
and click this
copy address as text
languid yarrow
now paste that here so I can see where its installed to
feel free to delete your username if you want
just need to know the path so I can guide you on the next step
frail steeple
it's loading
frail steeple
it's failing sory
languid yarrow
okay bro listen LOL
before you do anything wait for me to give you the next instruction please 😅
languid yarrow
okay perfect thats the default location
yep thats perfect
thats the default location actually
so it should be easy to install
what happened when you tried in double click the steamodded_PS_injector.exe ?
can you screenshot the error it gave you?
frail steeple
command block appear and disapear
languid yarrow
are you using the PS version?
because that should only happen with the original version you were using at first
show me which one your trying double clicking on
with a picture
it should say steamodded_PS_injector.exe NOT steamodded_injector.exe
frail steeple
but i have breeze zip
languid yarrow
ahhh
download 7zip https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2401-x64.exe
you have an x64 windows PC yeah?
not an ARM one?
languid yarrow
okay yeah download that then
OH WAIT
no nvm
thats a beta, download this one instead https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2301-x64.exe
just so its more stable
frail steeple
no it continued to whow the command block
languid yarrow
if it asks you during installation to add 7zip to the context menu, say yes
frail steeple
but it stay open and differently
languid yarrow
okay show me the screenshot bro
frail steeple
languid yarrow
that worked brudda
XD
its modded now
open balatro
you should see steamodded in the top right now
😉
the command prompt is supposed to show
you just need it to successfully complete
which it did! 😄
frail steeple
to take you'r time for this i'm not really good with all this
languid yarrow
no no worries haha
it's almost done and this happens sometimes when you run steamodded more than once
okay first try this
go to the balatro game folder by opening local files in steam
frail steeple
with steam?
yes
languid yarrow
like we did last time
then double click on balatro.exe
and tell me what happens
if it shows any crash screen with an error screenshot it for me too
languid yarrow
it just load? like its taking a long time to open?
or it crashes?
with no error screen?
frail steeple
1: black screen
2: nothing
3: loading bar and the disapear completly
languid yarrow
and you tried this by using balatro.exe right? not opening it with steam or the desktop shortcut??
frail steeple
yes
languid yarrow
yes
okay first then go to your mods folder and move Jellymod out of there
just to double check that isnt the issue
move it to documents or something for now
and check if theres anything else new in your mods folder too. If there is screenshot it so I can see what the new files are in there
frail steeple
languid yarrow
gotcha, thanks for the video so I could see what was happening. try what I said above
then after you move the Jellymod folder out of there try to reopen balatro.exe
OH WAIT THAT SIZE
there WAS an issue bc you ran steamodded twice
okay I see the probleam
frail steeple
with the full empty mods file it stell the same
frail steeple
done
languid yarrow
then go to steam, right click on balatro and click on properties
then go to installed files and click on verify files
frail steeple
yes
languid yarrow
it should now redownload a clean balatro.exe for you
frail steeple
it says steam will download back the corrupted file
frail steeple
finished
languid yarrow
nice, now run steamodded_PS_injector.exe again. DO NOT RUN THE STEAMODDED_INJECTOR.EXE WITHOUT THE PS IN THE NAME!
that could cause issues here
languid yarrow
you might wanna delete the old steamodded_injector.exe as well to be safe to make sure you don't click on it again and run into issues, only keep the one with PS in the name
nice, now open balatro
and see if it opens without crashing and if you see steamodded in the top right
frail steeple
(curently praying)
YEEEEEEEEEEES
YOU ARE A FUCKING LEGEND BRO
you juste saved my life i would have been totaly unable to do it by myself
merci beaucoup as we says in french
languid yarrow
haha really glad I was able to help 😄
This is how I learned this stuff too and everyone else here!
We all asked and googled and found out how to do this stuff til we did it enough that we could answer other peoples questions ahaha
You'll be able to help someone who needs help with this stuff in the future I'd bet 😉

languid yarrow
<@274835786304585739> Hey, hope you don't mind the ping but is there any good re...
of course not m8, feel free to ping me anytime 😃 I dont think theres a ton of documentation out for what function does what currently though and I don't do much coding at all myself, I just know the bare basics and can check out other peoples code and more or less figure out how to copy their code and use the game files to add the stuff I want to do 🤣 If you're using balamod I know theres some pretty good stuff on the readme
and you could also ask for help for people who made similar mods to a mod you want to make!
what mod are you trying to make?
also using a good IDE for Love2D like Sublime or Jetpilot would likely help a lot
you could also reference the love2d documentation if you need to, but you should only probably need to do that occasionally if at all if you reference the game files and use a good IDE
and someone elses mod for reference if you can
you can use either balamod -d to extract the game files or more easily just open the balatro.exe with 7zip then extract all the game files like that
wooden nebula
I've decompiled the game and was looking through it a bit ago but I was a little busy with work to get started. I want to start with a very simple joker mod. It started with looking at the Lua code of Jellyjokers I wasn't a fan of the negative affect of pessimist (sell this card the apply the negative attribute to a random joke but permanent negative 2 hands) which is a good concept for a card because it gives access to the negative attribute easier -2 hands is crazy especially early on I wanted to tweak it to instead get rid of all discards
languid yarrow
I've decompiled the game and was looking through it a bit ago but I was a little...
TRUE thats such a cool idea but the -2 hands is rough
do you just wanna modify that one part?
if so that should be pretty easy
I actually have jellymod files here so I can take a look too if thats the case
wooden nebula
Pretty much I wasn't sure of the syntax for that so I was wondering if people have started noting down what functions do what
I thought it would be a good place to start then I could use a few different mods as maybe a template for designing my own jokers/deck
I'm available to jump into vc if you're down if not I can grab the relevant code pieces and put them here
languid yarrow
I'm checking out the code in the game rn, but if you have any relevant code pieces and can quickly screencap em or copy em, thatd be helpful too! 😄
wooden nebula
I just realised I deleted the hands part of the code last time I was messing with it and never restored it 😂
This should be the part where you declare the card description:
name = "Pessimist",
text = {
"sell this card to apply",
"{C:dark_edition}negative{} to a random Joker.",
},```
We have this piece of code that describes its general attributes the extra part in config is what gets passed along to the function that describes what the code does:
```j_pessimist= {order = 7, unlocked = true, discovered = true, blueprint_compat = false, eternal_compat = false, rarity = 3, cost = 10, name = "Pessimist", pos = {x=6,y=16}, set = "Joker", effect = "", config = {extra = 2}, unlock_condition = {type = 'win_custom'}}```
And finally we have the func for the actual joker although its missing the part where it subtracts your hands:
```if self.ability.name == 'Pessimist' and not context.blueprint then
local temp_pool = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
if v.ability.set == 'Joker' and (not v.edition) and v ~= self then
table.insert(temp_pool, v)
end
end
local eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(temp_pool, pseudoseed('Pessimist'))
local edition = {negative = true}
eligible_card:set_edition(edition, true)```Yeah I'm seeing the same pieces
wooden nebula
This first two bits should be fine we can alter the description to read "Sell this card to apply negative to a random Joker but permanently lose all discards", for the config we keep it the same but maybe pass through a bool for the negative affect
languid yarrow
I think theres a reference to the self.ability.extra
and I'm wondering if thats where hands are deleted
wooden nebula
Yup thats where it is usually
languid yarrow
or maybe if it just reads the description even using that function
then runs whatever is in the description of the joker
wooden nebula
I deleted it that part last time whilst messing with it
Give me a sec I'll redownload it
local temp_pool = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
if v.ability.set == 'Joker' and (not v.edition) and v ~= self then
table.insert(temp_pool, v)
end
end
if #temp_pool > 0 then
local eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(temp_pool, pseudoseed('Pessimist'))
local edition = {negative = true}
eligible_card:set_edition(edition, true)
G.GAME.round_resets.hands = G.GAME.round_resets.hands - self.ability.extra
ease_hands_played(-self.ability.extra)
end```OHHH
G.GAME.round_resets.hands - self.ability.extra
its likely this
try deleting the - self.ability.extra
wooden nebula
yup I just don't know what the syntax is for discards
languid yarrow
so it only says this G.GAME.round_resets.hands = G.GAME.round_resets.hands
and probably delete this too: "Permanent {C:blue}-#1#{} hands."
from the joker description
},
j_pessimist = {
name = "Pessimist",
text = {
"sell this card to apply",
"{C:dark_edition}negative{} to a random Joker.",
"Permanent {C:blue}-#1#{} hands.",
"{C:inactive}({C:attention}Destroys{C:inactive} itself when blind selected){}"
},```Tbh we could completely remove that line which is what I did in my inital snippet but I think replacing it with something that removes discards would be better I know there is a joker in the normal pack that does that but I'm not sure that one updates during the actual round being played whereas techincally if you copied the code from that joker you could get away with no negatives for a blind
languid yarrow
try changing both those parts
so I think in this mod G.GAME.round_resets.hands = G.GAME.round_resets.hands - self.ability.extra is what is deleting hands
G.game.resethands refers to how many hands you have
wooden nebula
Thats the conclusion I came to last time, I was wondering if you might know the syntax for changing the discard amount
languid yarrow
and - self.ability.extra is subtracting the number of hands according to pessimists self joker ability
oh are you trying to edit it?
and not completely disable the hand removals?
wooden nebula
Yeah my orginal code with the edits accomplishes the hand removal aspect I wanted to change the negative affect
The idea is that in the config we could pass through a boolean and then it does a check in the joker to see if the boolean is True and it then permanantly alters the discard amount
if center_table.name == 'Wasteful' or center_table.name == 'Recyclomancy' then
G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards + center_table.extra
ease_discard(center_table.extra)
languid yarrow
I gotcha, yeah thats a bit above my coding paygrade 😭 I would ask either Myst who created the original mod Jellymod is based off of or the maker of Jellymod on this discord
wooden nebula
this is the voucher that alters the discards by increase them actually we can use this part
languid yarrow
or perhaps ask in the modding discord, someone likely whos worked on a similar mod would know. You could also check out other mods that do the same thing that you're trying to accomplish
theres likely one out there that has implemented this idea
OH WAIT
wooden nebula
No worries thank you for the help, I think I've got a clue on how to do it
languid yarrow
LOOK IN GAME_MODIFACATIONS.LUA
I think the code for all this stuff is there
I see stuff about hand additions and subtractions
maybe... just maybe?
languid yarrow
No worries thank you for the help, I think I've got a clue on how to do it
also morefluff seems to subtract hands as well, I'll check in there to see what it does and another to see how discards are done
you could also ask @halcyon star as they made the mod 😄 If you see this not mario what code do you use to subtract hands with your custom jokers?
so this is what they did to remove hands @wooden nebula
if self.ability.name == 'Hollow Joker' then
G.hand:change_size(-1)```i think discards are a similar function
G.discard I believe
wooden nebula
I've changed some of the code I'll give my way a try first If not I'll try what you've suggested
languid yarrow
I think Jellymods author just went about it in a different way referencing that line we saw
languid yarrow
I've changed some of the code I'll give my way a try first If not I'll try what ...
BIG. Sorry I think I missed some of what you said at first as I got so focused with just trying to share what I found 😅
I somehow missed that you wanted to get rid of discards instead so many times 😭
wooden nebula
It's all good I appreciate the help regardless sometimes its nice to just bounce ideas off someone it happens all the time in development
languid yarrow
Haha hey fair nuff, I'll help anyway I can 🫡 😄
If you do end up using G.discard and it turns out it doesn't update during the round, theres probably an event you can call to make it refresh during the round too
But looking at the code I THINK it should trigger when the Pessimist joker gets destroyed
languid yarrow
It's all good I appreciate the help regardless sometimes its nice to just bounce...
also lmk when ya get it working 😄 I'm now emotionally invested in seeing this ahaha
wooden nebula
Done got it working @languid yarrow
if self.ability.name == 'Pessimist' and not context.blueprint then
local temp_pool = {}
for k, v in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
if v.ability.set == 'Joker' and (not v.edition) and v ~= self then
table.insert(temp_pool, v)
end
end
if #temp_pool > 0 then
local eligible_card = pseudorandom_element(temp_pool, pseudoseed('Pessimist'))
local edition = {negative = true}
eligible_card:set_edition(edition, true)
G.GAME.round_resets.discards = G.GAME.round_resets.discards - self.ability.extra
end
Tested it game the only issue is that it isn't reflected on the ui when you sell but when you go in game it works
Then the UI updates and its fine now I just need to test it during the round
Okay so I imagine those events are linked, if you sell during it round it doesn't update the discard counts
languid yarrow
NICE!!!! that makes tons of sense!!!
languid yarrow
Tested it game the only issue is that it isn't reflected on the ui when you sell...
hm so when you sell it isnt shown?
but when you go into a round/blind it shows on the UI?
wooden nebula
Yup the fix for the round start affect is really simple, the issue is that its set to trigger at round start not on sell
Although potentially it just needs a bit of both
languid yarrow
ahhh!
hm there's probably an event you can call so that it resets the discard count in the UI right when the joker is destroyed
I'm sure they had code for that in the mod
wooden nebula
I think so, but I'll have to stop here for now I'll probably revisit that sometime soon
languid yarrow
what was the original code there? g.game.round_resets.hands?
languid yarrow
I think so, but I'll have to stop here for now I'll probably revisit that someti...
I feel you on that 😂
Good shit brudder, you friggin did it!
wooden nebula
what was the original code there? g.game.round_resets.hands?
yup
languid yarrow
That was a hard one too since there was no clear reference to discards in the mod file
it was like so obfuscated almost
Maybe send a PR to jellys github or put a comment in their post here so they can add an option for using discards instead of removing hands to jellymod!
my guess is lots of others would like to use that joker but also find the effects too punishing

Hey guys, spent a long time trying to figure this out myself to no avail
Is Steammodded supported for Mac M1?

hi guys i have the latest crypitd and talisman mod installed and its working properly. I try to add the grim mod 0.9.5 like this - but its crashing

I got a notification about Puwaders.C!ml when trying to move the Lovely injector for mods. Is that normal?

how tf should i go back to ver 0.9.8
crystal drum
Why would you want to?
crystal drum
how tf should i go back to ver 0.9.8
It's deprecated as hell and the few mods that don't work on 1.0 almost all have ports in the works
lethal pilot
Okay, I'm feeling incredibly stupid right now but I can't get the alpha release of Steamodded to work. I should just be able to download it from the github page and pop it into the appdata\balatro\Mods directory right? Screenshot shows the current path. I also tried using Git with the command on the installation page with the same results 🫠
lethal pilot
Still need lovely for the alpha release? I'll check out the main chat, thanks 🙂
crystal drum
Still need lovely for the alpha release? I'll check out the main chat, thanks 🙂
Yeah lovely is more needed now than ever. It's what's used instead of the legacy injector
lethal pilot
Yeah lovely is more needed now than ever. It's what's used instead of the legacy...
I see, fair enough. I just got started and it looked like lovely was using the old method, I see now it's at the top of the page. Thank you!
crystal drum
Np :3
vagrant solstice
im still having this problem, and as far as i can tell, i have the lovely injector setup properly
any help would be very appreciated
visual marsh
The version.dll of lovely is the only thing you put in the game exe folder
So, you run the game?
vagrant solstice
Your question somewhat confuses me
vagrant solstice
Well, that helped immensely. Windows 11 somewhat confuses me, lol. I miss 7
Thanks

How do i check if mods are active?
i have a few installed but idk if they are working
civic eagle
How do i check if mods are active?
press the mods button on the main menu
if a mod is in blue that means it loaded successfully
if a mod is greyed out it was disabled by you, this screen lets you disable mods
if a mod is in red that means it has an incompatibility or wasn't installed properly, and if you hover over the ! it tells you what's wrong
civic eagle
none here but
that means you didn't install them right
uneven cargo
I have some here??
civic eagle
okay well let's just go through everything
uneven cargo
they are in my appdata mods folder , cant you just dump the .lua in there?
civic eagle
were you just taking out the lua files????
uneven cargo
i was downloading straight from either github or disc , no folders are provided so i assumed
civic eagle
the folders are provided you get them when you unzip the mods usually
if not then it assumed the program you use to unzip it unzips it into a folder
which is the default
anyway you should have version.dll in the folder with balatro.exe, and you should have a Steamodded folder in appdata/roaming/balatro/mods
no other folder names really matter except Steamodded being called Steamodded, but it's good practice to remove -main from a folder name if you get it from the code button on github
uneven cargo
Alrighty , thank you for your help

Im so damn lost with this im doing the things above but it wont work (also windows defender is being a pain the the ass)

hi im having trouble launching mods, i can open the game with no mods in but it always crashes when i put a mod in the folder
i can post the crash log if its allowed
civic eagle
hi im having trouble launching mods, i can open the game with no mods in but it ...
alright show me the mods folder
civic eagle
oh alright
civic eagle
Is there guide on how to install mods?
did you set up lovely and steamodded
pine lintel
No, how do i do that
civic eagle
alright
we are gonna take some quick trips around github then
https://github.com/steamopollys/steamodded this is the page for steamodded
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector this is the page for lovely
quick note
steamodded's latest release is 0.9.8, that version is obselete, press the green code button and press download zip instead
crystal drum
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started
There /is/ a guide, but it appears to be a very difficult reading comprehension test
sorry for the sass, lol
civic eagle
yeah the guide sucks i'll just go over it here
pine lintel
Yeah, i read the guide and i had no idea what it was
crystal drum
yeah the guide sucks i'll just go over it here
the guide is fine... if you already know how gitub and computers work
which isn't most people understandably
civic eagle

lovely's latest release is fine and normal
crystal drum
lovely's latest release is fine and normal
civic eagle
download the zip file that corresponds to your operating system
i'm assuming it's windows but if it's not then do tell
pine lintel
unzip that and it should have `version.dll` inside right
yes
crystal drum
you linked beta 7 though
civic eagle
not the other version that version is bad apparently
anyway same thing on this page get the windows zip and grab version.dll
pine lintel
and?
civic eagle
now go to steam and press this button
right click -> manage -> browse local files
it'll open the folder containing the balatro.exe file
put version.dll in that folder
pine lintel
okies
civic eagle
that's halfway done
now go to the search bar in the bottom left and type %appdata% to get to appdata/roaming
and you should see a balatro folder in there
crystal drum
(you put a lot more effort into this than me when I do it marie, lol. probably will pay off by going a lot smoother though)
civic eagle
go in there and make a Mods folder
if it already exists that's fine but it probably doesn't
let me know when you've caught up
civic eagle
alright
civic eagle
https://github.com/steamopollys/steamodded this is the page for steamodded
https...
now take the steamodded-main.zip you downloaded from here (from the green code button)
and put it in the mods folder
pine lintel
i havent downloaded that yet
civic eagle
okay well do that
pine lintel
do i get the aplha
civic eagle
press the green code button and press download zip
you should get steamodded-main.zip downloaded
pine lintel
done
civic eagle
and put it in the mods folder
^
civic eagle
unzip it, rename it to Steamodded and make sure it's not nested (nested means it's inside a folder of the same name as its own, e.g Mods/Steamodded/Steamodded, that is a bad thing and you should make sure all mods are not nested when you download them)
pine lintel
ok done
civic eagle
that's it
you should be good
boot up balatro now and you should have a Mods button on the main menu
if you do then it worked
crystal drum
uh... what about the antivirus bulshit for lovely?
civic eagle
oh yeah that happens sometimes
because of the nature of lovely, it likes to flag antivirus
crystal drum
it happens 100% of the time on (current) windows afaik
pine lintel
if you do then it worked
wait ill be back
civic eagle
if you boot up balatro and your antivirus goes off, go make sure it didn't delete version.dll and exclude the file or directory
civic eagle
it happens 100% of the time on (current) windows afaik
not really
i only get the issue every once in a while on windows defender
pine lintel
if you boot up balatro and your antivirus goes off, go make sure it didn't delet...
it didnt
damn
crystal drum
you.... didn't add an eception?
pine lintel
thanks
crystal drum
it's that easy
crystal drum
then it won't touch it ever again
civic eagle
go find a mod's github and download it, either by the green code button or the latest release
the mod dev will probably recommend one of the two if you ask
put it in the mods folder, make sure it's not nested
pine lintel
put it in the mods folder, make sure it's not nested
sure
crystal drum
tbh I can think of zero curent mods where it's better to actually get the release

fair enough
civic eagle
there's a few modpacks if you want a modpack or you can put one together yourself
dimensere or whatever his name is has a good modpack collection i'd recommend
crystal drum
#1267720426109272135 has all the mods I personally play with
civic eagle
if you get a crash, it will crash on the console, at which point press ctrl + c to copy it and paste it as a text file into the thread of the mod mentioned on the top line and they'll be able to help you
crystal drum
#1255696773599592458 has every mod he can possibly get to function together at different levels of extremeness (in comparison to the base game)
different phlopshies both good options depending on what you're interested in
civic eagle
if you get a crash, it will crash on the console, at which point press ctrl + c ...
it also helps to explain what you did to cause the crash

what is balamod
civic eagle
balamod is a different modloader
crystal drum
irrelevent probably for eternity
civic eagle
you don't need that
crystal drum
lol
pine lintel
do i need that to play some specific mods?
civic eagle
nope
pine lintel
okie
civic eagle
pretty much every mod should work, but be wary of certain 0.9.8 mods
steamodded has backwards compatibility with 0.9.8, so most mods work as intended
but some mods just do not work on 1.0.0 which is the version you are on
crystal drum
#1294115874994651277 is a place to go to find ressurected versions of older mods
civic eagle
unless a mod states it is 0.9.8, you can safely assume it's for 1.0.0
most mods are on 1.0.0 by now
if you're not sure, ask
that's pretty much everything you need to know
pine lintel
if you're not sure, ask
does bunco work on 1.0
crystal drum
yes
civic eagle
yes
crystal drum
and they removed the release for a reason, so use the code button
pine lintel
sure
civic eagle
i'll be back

Sorry in advance since it might be a frequently question asked here, but I really can't find the answer to this.
If I am using steamodded to add mods that have new assets (eg new jokers or vouchers), how do I add them to the game? Since added the mod's lua by itself doesn't work and I don't know where to add the included assets.
civic eagle
Sorry in advance since it might be a frequently question asked here, but I reall...
in the same folder as the lua file is in
assets/1x should contain 1x sheets
assets/2x should contain 2x sheets
you also need to set up an atlas
oh you got the answer elsewhere i see
