BRAINSTORM MOD

[inland creek]

By popular demand, here is how you can get your hands on Brainstorm and reroll as fast as DrSpectred: https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm
The mod is in active development, and new features will be added regularly.
Feel free to request features below!

[fading olive]

Downloaded this tonight after seeing it in action on DrSpectred's stream. Creator of it helped me on the Balatro University Discord get it up and running. Love it. Couldn't recommend it more. Very helpful for rerolls alone.

Hi, i got this error:

[exotic light]

Many thanks!!!

[mild dragon]

and also search for The Soul

may have made this much faster

[inland creek]

much much faster

[mild dragon]

~1,000 times faster if I calculated it correctly

[willow sequoia]

would there be a way to change the auto reroll to look for specific legendaries instead of just a soul card in general?

[mild dragon]

Yes

The eventual plan is to be able to take filters from Immolate and be able to use them for Brainstorm’s auto-reroll

[willow sequoia]

would it be possible for me to edit the code to make it search for that or is it not possible yet?

[mild dragon]

No

I could make a quick edit if you want but I’m going to be busy for most of the day

[mild dragon]

Wait, you might be able to just do it in gold stake with collection manipulation

lol

If you want Perkeo make a new profile and get gold stickers on the other jokers, then I think the reroll will only give you Perkeo seeds

[inland creek]

No it doesn’t

[civic socket]

Hey Spring - this mod is amazing, I appreciate your work!

Is there any way it could search for the first two skips rather than just the first? I am not sure how much work that represents.

Thanks again! 🙂

[mild dragon]

The long term plan is to link it with Immolate, so that filters could be used interchangably between both programs to find seeds

[austere imp]

Excellent work @inland creek. Have you looked into using nativefs for save states? Lovely shouldn't have any kind of impact on filesystem access.

Either way let me know how I can help

[inland creek]

There’s no need to use nativefs for save states because brainstorm just uses the same code Balatro uses for saving and fetching save files. That way the save states are in the same folder as the games save file.

[austere imp]

Gotcha gotcha, I assumed that you were using a boutique implementation for reasons

[inland creek]

Yeah I mean it doesn’t really make much difference. It just depends when you want the save states stored

But I’m currently refactoring the whole code base, so if there are changes that u think might be good do let me know

Brainstorm was my first mod, so the alpha version was pretty messy.

https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm/tree/overhall

I do have a question though @austere imp ,, is it possible for you to make a better way to get mod files?

[austere imp]

Depends on what you mean by that and how you're currently doing it

[inland creek]

As far as I’m aware currently the best way is lovely.mod_dir .. “mod_name”

But if someone changes the directory name, that breaks.

Ankh also has the same issue.

[austere imp]

hah yeah, that's been an issue for a while. I forgot about it

I'll probably go ahead and implement that feature alongside patch metadata query (working on it right now)

[inland creek]

Thanks!!

[austere imp]

no problem! thanks for reminding me about this :-)

[inland creek]

I’ll let you know if I encounter any more things!!

Thanks for all ur work on lovely!

[inland creek]

@eternal orbit Math told me you managed to reverse engineer the negative shaders. I was wondering if you could help me out with something?

[eternal orbit]

Uh not exactly

Only the color inversion (and even then it’s still not 100% accurate, but close enough)

[inland creek]

how do you get the whites the same?

[eternal orbit]

I don’t know how the dissolve mask

[eternal orbit]

I’m not sure what you mean by whites

Could you maybe show an image/example

[inland creek]

yeah

1 sec

(vanilla)

and im trying to reverse engineer this

this is what ive managend to get.

[eternal orbit]

Do you know what HSL is?

[eternal orbit]

Because that’s what the game modifies for the shader

[inland creek]

yes

[eternal orbit]

Ok good

For all the whites, just take the inverse of the Saturation value
Ex saturation value of 95 > 5

[inland creek]

18 > 82

[eternal orbit]

do that for the black bg, shading on the face, and nose as well as that smile (I think?) below the mustache

[eternal orbit]

yep

although I think the bg colour would just 000000 so just do white for that

[inland creek]

ok

[eternal orbit]

that's how it is for other negative jokers anyway

ping me when you are done and I'll tell you what do after

[inland creek]

done i think

[eternal orbit]

ok for all the other colours you need to take the HUE value and modify it

[inland creek]

and im inverting luminance right?

[eternal orbit]

but the really annoying thing is that the game handles the hue value from a range of 0-1 instead of 1-360 swhich is why I can't get an accurate result

[inland creek]

hmm

[eternal orbit]

when you get a colour, take the hue value and subtract it from 72.

if it is negative, add 360

this is the best approximation i can get unless you can find a program with that range of 0-1

[eternal orbit]

vec4 effect( vec4 colour, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 screen_coords )
{
    vec4 tex = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
    vec2 uv = (((texture_coords)*(image_details)) - texture_details.xy*texture_details.ba)/texture_details.ba;

    vec4 SAT = HSL(tex);

    if (negative.g > 0.0 || negative.g < 0.0) {
        SAT.b = (1.-SAT.b);
    }
    SAT.r = -SAT.r+0.2;

    tex = RGB(SAT) + 0.8*vec4(79./255., 99./255.,103./255.,0.);

    if (tex[3] < 0.7)
        tex[3] = tex[3]/3.;
    return dissolve_mask(tex*colour, texture_coords, uv);
}
```heres what the code for the shader actually is though just in case you understand it more than I do

The last 3 lines don't apply here so don't bother with those

[inland creek]

hey @austere imp I'm encountering an issue and i'm not sure if it's lovely related or something, but I have no idea what's going on.

function initAssets()
    local lovely = require("lovely")
    local nativefs = require("nativefs")
    assert(load(nativefs.read(lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/2x/test.lua")))() -- test.lua: print("HELLO FROM TEST.LUA")
    --  OUTPUT: "HELLO FROM TEST.LUA"
    local assets = {
        {
            name = "Joker",
            path = lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/" .. G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling .. "x/Jokers.png",
            px = 71,
            py = 95,
        },
    }
    G.ASSET_ATLAS = G.ASSET_ATLAS or {}

    for i = 1, #assets do
        local asset = assets[i]
        local path = asset.path
        print("Loading asset from path:", path)

        if not nativefs.getInfo(path) then
            print("Error: Path does not exist:", path)
        end

        local success, image =
            pcall(love.graphics.newImage, path, { mipmaps = true, dpiscale = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling })
        if success then
            G.ASSET_ATLAS[asset.name] = {
                name = asset.name,
                image = image,
                type = asset.type,
                px = asset.px,
                py = asset.py,
            }
        else
            print("Error loading image:", image)
        end
    end
end

the test proves that the path exists. but for the rest of the function the game doesn't think the path exists. I'm not sure if I'm just being stupid, but I've spent like a few hours trying to figure this out and I've gotten nowhere.

[austere imp]

eg. you get Error: Path does not exist?

[inland creek]

Yes

but assert(load(nativefs.read(lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/2x/test.lua")))() works.

[austere imp]

what's the final path?

(no personal details obv)

[inland creek]

AppData/Balatro/Mods/BUMod/assets/2x/Jokers.png

[austere imp]

and the assertion passes if you check for Jokers.png, right?

[inland creek]

if you're refering to assert(load(nativefs.read(lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/2x/test.lua")))() then no, bc I cant run the image file.

but if I did nativefs.getDirectoryInfo(lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/2x/") it would return nothing.

even though assert(load(nativefs.read(lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/2x/test.lua")))() proves that there is something.

it's really strange.

this is what i get in console:

INFO - [GAME] HELLO FROM TEST.LUA
INFO - [GAME] C:/Users/x/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/BUMod/assets/2x/Jokers.png[GAME] Loading asset from path:
INFO - [GAME] Could not open file C:/Users/x/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/BUMod/assets/2x/Jokers.png. Does not exist.[GAME] Error loading image:

and if I try to do nativefs.getDirectoryInfo(...) I get an error

even though the line above it, succesfully called a file from that directory:

    assert(load(nativefs.read(lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/2x/test.lua")))() -- test.lua: print("HELLO FROM TEST.LUA")
    --  OUTPUT: "HELLO FROM TEST.LUA"
    print(nativefs.getDirectoryInfo(lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/2x/"))

[austere imp]

uh yeah, sorry, I'm still in Rust mode.

win + R, paste this path in C:/Users/x/AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods/BUMod/assets/2x/Jokers.png

see if windows can find it

[austere imp]

afaik nativefs doesn't have getDirectoryInfo

I might be wrong though, it's been a while since I've looked at it

[inland creek]

Ah wait maybe I meant getDirectoryItems

But regardless that’s not used in the main part of the code that’s throwing the errors

getDirectoryItems returns nothing as well though

[inland creek]

it can

it opens the image file

[inland creek]

@abstract latch did u encounter any issues like this ever?

[abstract latch]

I haven't encountered this issue myself, but I've seen it from others

I'm not sure yet what exactly the cause is

[inland creek]

Do you know how they fixed it?

I don't think im being stupid, ive tried so much to no avail

[abstract latch]

I don't, but I can try to investigate given an example to reproduce

[inland creek]

https://github.com/OceanRamen/BUMod/tree/custom-sprite

idk, i hope im not just doing something moronic.

[abstract latch]

I have it this doesn't depend on steamodded in any way?

[inland creek]

no

it doesnt

[abstract latch]

this is working steamodded code for comparison

local file_data = NFS.newFileData(self.full_path)
if file_data then
    local image_data = love.image.newImageData(file_data)
    if image_data then
        self.image = love.graphics.newImage(image_data,
            { mipmaps = true, dpiscale = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling })
    else
        self.image = love.graphics.newImage(self.full_path,
            { mipmaps = true, dpiscale = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling })
    end
else
    self.image = love.graphics.newImage(self.full_path,
        { mipmaps = true, dpiscale = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling })
end

it seems using the path directly doesn't work

knowing that it's probably better to just error out if the file data fails, but whatever

use newFileData and newImageData

yeah that rest was redundant, it seems like

local file_data = assert(NFS.newFileData(self.full_path),
  ('Failed to collect file data for Atlas %s'):format(self.key))
local image_data = assert(love.image.newImageData(file_data),
  ('Failed to initialize image data for Atlas %s'):format(self.key))
self.image = love.graphics.newImage(image_data,
  { mipmaps = true, dpiscale = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling })

@inland creek

[inland creek]

Okay

Will try implementing it

Thanks

[inland creek]

function initAssets()
    local lovely = require("lovely")
    local nativefs = require("nativefs")
    local asset = {
        {
            name = "Joker",
            path = lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/" .. G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling .. "x/Jokers.png",
            px = 71,
            py = 95,
        },
    }
  local full_path = lovely.mod_dir .. "/BUMod/assets/" .. G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling .. "x/Jokers.png"
    local file_data =
        assert(nativefs.newFileData(full_path), ("Failed to collect file data for Atlas %s"):format(key))
    local image_data =
        assert(love.image.newImageData(file_data), ("Failed to initialize image data for Atlas %s"):format(key))
    local image = love.graphics.newImage(image_data, { mipmaps = true, dpiscale = G.SETTINGS.GRAPHICS.texture_scaling })

    G.ASSET_ATLAS = G.ASSET_ATLAS or {}
    G.ASSET_ATLAS[asset.name] = {
        name = asset.name,
        image = image,
        type = asset.type,
        px = asset.px,
        py = asset.py,
    }
end

something like this?

[abstract latch]

yeah looks good

you can get rid of that full_path definition though and just replace it with asset.path, they're the same thing

[inland creek]

Yeah

[old mesa]

I tried installing this and it doesn't seem to be working, is there something I'm missing?

[old mesa]

Is this mod incompatable with other mods?

[inland creek]

no, its compatable

[old mesa]

Ah well now I'm definitly confused it's not showing up in the mods list.

[inland creek]

Yeah that's because it doesn't use steammodded.

press ctrl + t and see if something happens...

[old mesa]

Should I not have it in the mods folder and no nothing happened when I pressed ctrl + t

[inland creek]

yes, it should be in the mods folder?

[old mesa]

Well, that worked! It does seem to overwrite my UI editor.

[inland creek]

Well of course I can't promise its compatable with every mod

[old mesa]

It's alright, I just had to turn it on and off again.

[inland creek]

Hey @abstract latch trying to install steammodded but getting this issue

[abstract latch]

your lovely is outdated

[inland creek]

Ah ok thanks

[kind cipher]

Im getting this: Error

Syntax error: game.lua:4: '=' expected near 'Game'

[abstract latch]

verify game files on steam

[kind cipher]

that worked, thank you very much

[lofty dove]

im getting the same error, verifying game files on steam just makes my mods disappear

so i do the steam injector again and it gives the same error

if i delete version.ddl from game directory game works fine but brainstorm doesnt appear in mods list

[abstract latch]

make sure you're following up to date steamodded instructions

you can't use the steamodded injector alongside lovely

you need to install steamodded as a lovely mod

[lofty dove]

yep that was the reason, huge thanks for letting me know!

[iron bramble]

INFO - [G] Failed to connect to the debug server (this is in balatro.exe if i run maybe it has to do with that)

[iron bramble]

tried fixing that for 2h now i think i give up lol

[abstract latch]

that's unrelated and safe to ignore

brainstorm isn't a steamodded mod, that's why it doesn't show in the mod list

[iron bramble]

ah ok ty

but then how do i change the settings?

[abstract latch]

it has a tab in the game settings

[iron bramble]

ty <3

i guess that solves it all xD

[fair talon]

So I did this to fix a similar issue, and now it's displaying the error message "game.lua:2869 Attempted to index 'SETTINGS' (a nil value)". This is my first time using Lovely, so I'm not sure if this is a problem with that or the mod. Does you know of a way to fix this?

[abstract latch]

could you share the full crash screen?

[inland creek]

Make sure the mod directory is called “Brainstorm”

The issue is a file path one. I think

[fair talon]

nvm, i got it fixed. one of the files wasn’t in the brainstorm folder

[worthy quail]

hey sorry if this is a dumb question but i downloaded the mod and i think i downloaded lovley correctly but when i put Brainstorm into my mod folder it dosnt do anthing in game. do i also need steammodded?

[inland creek]

No u don’t need steamodded.

Make sure brainstorm folder is called “Brainstorm”

And check that lovely is installed in the balatro game directory

[tribal nexus]

thank you this just helped me as well

[inland creek]

BRAINSTORM MOD

https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm/releases/tag/v1.1.0-alpha

CHANGES

Feat(Deck View: Hide Played Cards): Added Deck View: Hide Played Cards option to settings. If Enabled, Played cards (which would previously be greyed out) are now removed from Deck view. This was highly requested for some time.

**Feat(Settings): **Added "Deck View: Hide Played Cards" Toggle.

**Feat(Settings): **AutoReroll Search Tag options are now the names of the skip tags, instead of their IDs.

**Feat(Settings): **Renamed "Search For Soul" to "Charm Tag: Soul Search" for better readability.

Apologies for the long period of time since my last release, I have been super busy with BU-CB & Other things!

As always, let me know if you encounter any issues. ~ OceanRamen / Djynasty

[lofty dove]

"Feat(Deck View: Hide Played Cards)"

This is insane! thank you so much for that

[tame gyro]

deleted

[inland creek]

?

[inland creek]

no problem! :D

[tardy crater]

I just updated Brainstorm and picked up your challenge mod. Now Windows Defender has been flagging the version dll file. Not sure if that's part of your mods or lovely injector. Been loving using Brainstorm and I'm excited to try out the challenge mod.

[gilded girder]

Is there a particular reason that the quickload/quicksave slots only go up to 5?

[inland creek]

lovely injector. its a false flag. just whitelist ur balatro directory. happened to a lot of people over the weekend.

[inland creek]

didnt think ppl would need more than that tbh

[tardy crater]

I figured it was lovely with the file that it was flagging but wanted to make sure. Thank you

[runic wing]

Someone told me control A is how you get it to run the macro, but that's not working for me. Any advice for somebody trying to get this to work? Looking for Soul cards

[maiden osprey]

i get this error whenever i try to play

had to rename the mod

[inland creek]

Yeah, I think it says in the readme no?

[rain rain]

The mod https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664 does not work with brainstorm. Like at all

[inland creek]

Yeah, because brainstorm has a similar debug feature.

[maiden osprey]

i dont have it

just had to rename.

also why is it mising so many tags?

[mild dragon]

Can’t appear ante 1

Also I just realize we have to optimize it so it knows they can’t appear ante 1

[maiden osprey]

ah

didnt know that

explains a lot

can the pack apear on ante 1?

[mild dragon]

Yes, just not in the first slot

First slot is forced to be a buffoon pack

[maiden osprey]

i know

good feture

[dense light]

I can't find a /%appdata%/balatro/mods directory in my computer

wtf is lovely injector

[abstract latch]

you need to create it

it's not just magically there

[dense light]

i figured it out, it looks like lovely created it

[abstract latch]

right, it does that

[rain rain]

Hi, is it possible for Brainstorm and https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1228149931257237664 work alongside each other?

For now brainstorm will take over and make debug plus lose some of it's control function (like shift+/ toggle 🪵)

[burnt marten]

Which also breaks steamodded keybinds api
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/commit/64bb63d9149c90f9bf0712881e1a6bf00041f537

[rain rain]

You mean Debug Plus won't work?

[burnt marten]

Nah, if someone creates a mod that uses smods keybinds, that won't work for those who have brainstorm installed

DebugPlus works fine with that

[rain rain]

But it has some features failing when alongside Brainstorm. Then again it might be on DP's end so I don't really know

[inland creek]

Brainstorm has compat issues due to it being in early stages of development.

I have a lot of stuff I'm working on currently, so I just don't really have the time right now to update it.

There is a big Brainstorm Update in the pipeline, so I will try to improve compatibility.

[rain rain]

Thanks for the explanation.

[sly arrow]

anyone got this error?

I only get it when I have brainstorm loaded with lovely

[rain rain]

You sure it's a brainstorm problem?

[sly arrow]

well it only happens when I try to load the brainstorm mod

wait never mind I found a fix

ok I now have another issue

this is the log I get when starting the game

and brainstorm mod doesnt load

idk why its skipping the .lua files

[abstract latch]

brainstorm isn't a steamodded mod, that's all

it should be loaded properly, but it doesn't show up in steamodded's mod list

that's normal

brainstorm settings have a tab in the normal game settings

[sly arrow]

Ohh okok

[coarse merlin]

Im having trouble downloading this mod. I clicked the link at the top of this page, I clicked the green button that says "<> code" and downloaded the ZIP. I then put the file in my balato mods folder, which does work for the other few mods i have. I open the game and the mod isn't there. Anyone know the issue?

[drifting hawk]

Is there a brainstorm tab in the settings page?

[coarse merlin]

I don't see it anywhere

[drifting hawk]

What does the brainstorm folder look like?

[coarse merlin]

The file and what is inside the file

and this is inside that file

[abstract latch]

The folder name has to be exactly "Brainstorm"

Rename it to that and you should be good

[coarse merlin]

i didnt know the literal name affected it, ill try it

[abstract latch]

it's an awkward restriction with Lovely as it doesn't allow you to get your own mod's directory (yet)

this will likely be resolved sometime soon

[coarse merlin]

i made the name of the file this and it still doesn't work

i can open the game but it doesnt show up

[rain rain]

In settings or in mods

[coarse merlin]

oh yeah it is in the settings

i have it

thank you

[drifting hawk]

Put everything in the brainstorm-master folder into just the brainstorm folder

Oh I didn't scroll down

[inland creek]

Lovely update should be coming soonish.

I know it’s being worked on

[coarse merlin]

I need help again 🙂 . Last night i was able to use the brainstorm mod perfectly fine with no issues for a while. I then shut off my pc for the night and went to bed. This morning, i boot up my PC again and the brainstorm mod just isn't there anymore.

My othermods work just fine as normal so idk the problem with it

[inland creek]

reinstall lovely, and whitelist the balatro folder.

[gilded girder]

What's the intended replacement for the brainstorm hide played cards that was just removed

[drifting hawk]

@inland creek did you see my PR? https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm/pull/7

[random kayak]

what do i need to install to get brainstorm mod

[inland creek]

A new quality of life mod that’s coming.

[inland creek]

I didnt. I will look at this sometime today.

[inland creek]

@drifting hawk merged, thanks 👍

sorry for taking so long to review it, been busy with Saturn.

[drifting hawk]

No problem

[inland creek]

yeah I need to update brainstorm, it's been kinda neglected by me for a little bit.

[inland creek]

@drifting hawk Would you be interested in working together on a more advanced debug tool for a new quality of life mod I'm working on?

[drifting hawk]

Possibly

What are you thinking?

[inland creek]

a lot more debug features, like nuking the deck, adding custom amounts of consumables etc, keybinds to duplicate items, toggle free-rerolls etc.

and some other stuff that I cant remember imediately off the top of my head

[drifting hawk]

Yeah I should be able to add a decent chunk of those to DebugPlus

The new command handler I'm working on should make a lot more possible

Also I have duplicste cards right noe

And remove cards for thinning deck

[inland creek]

nice

[dense light]

so..norton killed this mod.

[drifting hawk]

What do you mean?

[inland creek]

Redownload lovely. Whitelist balatro folder.

[blissful scroll]

@inland creek Is Brainstorm known to not work on Mac? In my lovely logs I get a line per file like 'INFO - [G] 2024-07-24 19:07:23 :: TRACE :: Loader :: Skipping non-Lua file or invalid header: Brainstorm.lua' (I have other lovely mods like saturn working, so I know my install ins't totally borked

[abstract latch]

that's normal, brainstorm does not use steamodded to load, so it's skipped by it

it's still being injected with lovely if set up right

[blissful scroll]

hrrm, ok, but it doesn't seem to get loaded at all

[inland creek]

what happens if you press ctrl + t

[blissful scroll]

I get nothing new in settings menu, etc

ooooooh

[inland creek]

yah

[blissful scroll]

omg this changes everything... legendary jokers are so easy now

[rain rain]

Is it possible to set debug mode to default on?

[willow sequoia]

change the debug mode value in the config you ship the modpack with to true

["debug_mode"]=true,} in settings.lua

[drifting hawk]

TBH the mod should just respect whatever the current value is as the default, so if another mod enables it, Brainstorm doesn't Disable it again.

[inland creek]

the debug mode on brainstorm is really shit

i literally only added it for playtesters of BU-CB-DEV

[drifting hawk]

Yeah but it also disables the games built in Debug mode and DebugPlus when off.

[inland creek]

yeah

thats bc brainstorm debug mode is literally just an ingame toggle for the games debug mode

[drifting hawk]

Yeah but I seitch it to on in DebugPlus but then you switch it off again when the game starts

[inland creek]

yeah i think thats a bug

[outer zenith]

does the auto reroll not work with any mod that adds other tags?

[mild dragon]

It should work, but those tags won’t be listed

Depending on the mod though it could be fragile

You said you were using Cryptid, and that adds tags that have different conditions… yeah that could screw things over

[outer zenith]

yeah

but the soul skip thing still works, whenever it does land on charm it always has soul

so i think thats working

but it just wont always land on charm

wish there was a way to auto reroll with cryptid and also to the cryptid custom tags but i think that may be really annoying to add

just the autoreroll doesnt work, the rest works fine

[outer zenith]

also how do i delete a save state

[mild dragon]

will probably test mod compat more when I overhaul the reroll system at some point

[inland creek]

u just overwrite

with new savestate

[mild dragon]

[old mesa]

Is it possible to reroll for a specific joker? I wanna run Madness and the uncommon tag isn't being kind.

Not yet.

#1262697083438235729 message

Somehow brainstorm and nopeus conflicted

[rain rain]

Again, brainstorm causes nopeus not functional.

[inland creek]

to my knowledge it's just a conflict, not a bug.

can you show me the conflict in nopus?

[rain rain]

it does not crash, but additional speed options are not present

[frigid marten]

going into brainstorm's lovely.toml and removing the patched marked as # Add aditional gamespeeds to settings will stop brainstorm from overriding the code nopeus tries to change

its not something either mod creator should be concerned over, although i think i have an idea of solving it on nopeus' end

[frigid marten]

nopeus should be compatible with brainstorm now @rain rain

[burnt marten]

but tbf, does brainstorm really need the additional speeds feature? people download it for fast reroll & auto reroll features, and there's already other additional speed mods that do the same job
I personally don't understand the point of a mod adding things outside its main purpose

[inland creek]

Brainstorm was a quality of life mod.

additional speeds are quality of life.

there are a lot of people, who do not use other speed mods, like nopeus.

[rain rain]

Just make them work together is enough i guess

[inland creek]

@burnt marten instead of complaining about it you could always make a pull request? People seem to forget that we have lives outside of development, not to mention that the mod might not be specifically designed for your use case.

[burnt marten]

eh, I'm not really complaining, just don't understand the idea. If the intent was to be a quality of life mod then I completely missed it, as I only know this mod for auto- and fast reroll.

As for some people not knowing about other mods, I don't see it as a valid reason, because some other people also want and prefer those alternatives

[mild dragon]

I think a lot of the philosophy is to have like one QoL mod to do everything you’d want, which is fine I guess

Brainstorm was focused more on things like routing and finding seeds so having a faster speed feature does make sense, even though ultimately the reroll features are all it’s known for

[burnt marten]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gilded girder]

What about having a QoL modpack consisting of a number of small mods

Like one for speed, one for hiding played cards, one for restart shortcuts, etc

[burnt marten]

That's basically what Saturn is trying to be, as far as I understand

[gilded girder]

It still is one discrete mod, even if its config menu allows for different parts to be enabled/disabled

[burnt marten]

I guess

there would probably need to be a common dependency on a lovely mod to handle configs and config menus tho (for those who don't want to use steamodded)

[drifting hawk]

SMODS is a lovely mod

actually though I was thinking that

if I defined my config manually, It would work the same if I added a new tab in settings or a config tab in SMODS right?

[burnt marten]

lets move this to #💻・modding-dev to not go offtopic

[inland creek]

working on Brainstorm 0.2.0 currently

will have improved mod compatibility.

[hard steppe]

nice

[mild dragon]

made this significantly faster

filter I was using was Charm Tag + Soul + Mega Spectral Pack

in the process, it'll probably also be significantly harder to add mod compatibility lol

[willow sequoia]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-infinity-war-gamora-what-did-it-cost-gif-14001403

[hard steppe]

nice!

[dense light]

can somebody just pin the installation instructions?

[ocean elbow]

Hello everyone, I think I found a bug with Brainstorm whenever you install a mod that adds more than 4 suits to your game.
Basically with brainstorm installed, whenever you add a card that add 1 or more suits to your deck, when you try to open your full deck the game crashes.
In the video it happened with the Bunco mod, but I have a similar crash with other mods that add suits to your full deck.
(Sorry for my bad english, I'm french Ahah)

Here I the crash happens with the "sixsuits" mod

Hope all of it helped ! But its really frustrating to say goodbye to brainstorm, I really like this mod 😔

[inland creek]

Will be fixed in new brainstorm rewrite

If i have time I'll fix the issue on the current version

[ocean elbow]

Awesome, feels weird to play without the brainstorm mod lol

[reef hinge]

Hello, sorry for the question: will I still unlock achievements on Steam when using this mod? Thanks.

[upper void]

Steammodded disables achievements, there is a mod somewhere that re-enables them

[frigid marten]

brainstorm isnt a steamodded mod

[serene idol]

....wait it's supposed to disable achievements? I finished my spectrals collection with some mods and everything triggered properly

[drifting hawk]

It disables steam acheivments but not the games acheivments

[serene idol]

Then I must have done something because the Steam achievement did pop up as expected

[drifting hawk]

You have steamodded installed?

[serene idol]

Definitely, yes, with Lovely and all that jazz, with a bunch of mods like ScorePreview and StickersAlwaysShown and stuff

[drifting hawk]

Odd

Unless you also had the acheivment enabler mod

[frigid marten]

stickersalwaysshown enabled achievements by default

[reef hinge]

Exactly, I just use lovely

[reef hinge]

I don’t know, I hope they will unlock. I just use brainstorm because I don’t want to change the gameplay.

[inland creek]

Yes, that’s a common thing people do.

I’m not planning to ever make Brainstorm Steamodded dependent.

[inland creek]

Yes.

Unless you are using debug mode, in which case you will not earn achievements on steam while it is enabled.

[reef hinge]

Perfect! Not using this 😉

[serene idol]

Well, a happy accident for me then lol

[primal panther]

add mega spectral soul ankh find

rnrn

[mild dragon]

Use Immolate for now
Long-term plan is to add customized filters that let you do things like that

[primal panther]

idk where this setting is from

but brainstorm disabled it apparently

mod incompatibility?

[frigid marten]

which one

[primal panther]

idk

[frigid marten]

which setting

[primal panther]

the ones that arent red

i think its from a mod

[frigid marten]

fast-forward is nopeus from https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1262697083438235729

[primal panther]

hm

wait i havent updated nopeus

wtf

[frigid marten]

card text popups probably too

not sure though

[rain rain]

Yeah they are from Nopeus

[weary coral]

I don't think Brainstorm is working for me

I use Ctrl+a to autoroll, and it just rerolls once and then just stops??? Most of the time there isnt even a Charm Tag (which is what my setting is set to)

[ocean elbow]

You are probably using the Bunco mod (or some other mod that adds more than 4 suits to your game) at the same time. Happened to me + some other crashed while having Bunco + Brainstorm at the same time. From what i’ve seen these 2 mods are incompatible at the same time

[mild dragon]

It’s because of the tags probably

[inland creek]

Will take a look at it in the upcoming patches

[ocean elbow]

Can’t wait 💪

[inland creek]

https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha

Sneek peak of what's to come

[drowsy echo]

how are the files from 2 weeks ago when the release is yesterday
and the repo is from 2 months ago 😭

installed and crashes upon pressing ctrl a

i assume brainstorm only works on windows now? since immolate contains an .exe file

im on macos i wonder what will happen if i install immolate anyway

ah wait nvm it sources immolate.dll from brainstorm directly and its simply isnt there yet

nvm again it is there but i assume macos doesnt see / run it

[inland creek]

actually, im not sure if it is compatable or not.

i dont think it is, bc mac needs a mach-o file, but brainstorm currently uses a dll. we will add macos build for proper release.

[drowsy echo]

thank you!!

[inland creek]

That's okay. If I have time at some point I will look into a temporary macos build, and if it is easy to do, I will add macos builds to release workflow

[weary coral]

Nope, i dont have any mods that add suits. I cant get the list up right now, but i only really have Cryptid, and a few other QoL mods (like Talisman, 1 mod for adding challenges, that one which adds editions for planets, idk what else ill check when i can))

Ive noticed that when it does manage to find a charm tag, it does have a soul in it, it just kinda doesnt autoroll (and i have to hit ctrl+a (or t) until a charm tag appears.

[mild dragon]

^^^
Cryptid adds some tags that you can’t find normally, which currently messes with Brainstorm @weary coral

[weary coral]

Ah i see, so if i were to disable the tags, brainstorm would behave normally?

[mild dragon]

Ideally

Haven’t tested

[austere hare]

does anyone have problems with chrome blocking the download for lovely?

[drifting hawk]

yes it's a false positive

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/wiki/01.-Getting-started#about-anti-virus-issues

[inland creek]

cheers

[full summit]

minor bug (proton). if you load a game and save to a slot balatro crashes. it's fine after that I think, just doing things that don't trigger a save or having done nothing, z + number will crash. hopefully easy to reproduce and possibly fix

[drifting hawk]

Hmm odd

If you do anything like play a hand after loading does it no longer crash?

Wondering if it's a side effect of the change to force a save

Also could you send the crash log

[full summit]

prob better to check on the new release. it's pretty minor, you don't lose game progress or anything

[drifting hawk]

I probably won't be able to check at all today

Busy

[drifting hawk]

ok wait I might be stupid

[gaunt nacelle]

Hi there, I’m really hoping to install the Brainstorm mod (looks amazing, Djnasty) but im struggling. Could anyone direct me to detailed setup instructions? I’m not certain but I think my issue is with the lovely injector. Once I paste the .dll in my game files folder, I can no longer run the game.

Is steamodded also required for Brainstorm?

[frigid marten]

brainstorm doesnt require steamodded, just lovely

[gaunt nacelle]

Thanks! Would having steamodded interfere with Brainstorm?

[willow sequoia]

nope

[gaunt nacelle]

Apologies if I’m missing anything obvious - I’m a total noob at this and not typically even a windows user. This is what my game directory and mod directory look like, as well as the error I get when trying to run Balatro through Steam. If anyone has any advice I would massively appreciate it.

[full summit]

are you running the game on proton?

(step 4 of the lovely instructions if so)

[gaunt nacelle]

Not that I’m aware of. I am on windows and my understanding is that proton is not needed. Is that correct?

[drifting hawk]

Try verifying file ibtegrity in steam

[dull tendon]

How does this mod work?
I mean, I downloaded the mod but I can’t figure out the features. I tried looking online and I only found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn5c4PGvXwU
But in the video, the guy has way more options. How do I unlock those?

[full summit]

AFAIK, features are available individually in different releases and he wants to polish more before releasing all of it (some it may also be the saturn mod by same person)

[dull tendon]

thanks

[outer zenith]

my save states are not working (im pressing z+1 and then x+1) there was no text and nothing happened

[inland creek]

no save states in latest version of mod

[outer zenith]

oh

is there any other mod that has it?

[inland creek]

I'm working on a specific save manager mod

for now, best to stick to the older release of brainstorm.

[full summit]

actually, what's the expectation for the new seed searches? like a perkeo + observatory can take a couple seconds (which can feel like a crash or lock, and of course it can go through in a fraction of a sec too)

[mild dragon]

I’d need to do some math to figure that out but it should be straightforward

It is random though, so the run times can vary a lot

[inland creek]

the freeze will be fixed in an upcoming release. Just need to run the seed searcher on a seperate thread.

[drifting hawk]

DebugPlus does

[inland creek]

yeah but debugplus also introduces a bunch of debug stuff which pretty much invalidates runs so i'd stay clear of that

incase you accidently hit something.

Oups sorry

[mild dragon]

The closest you’ll probably get to something like Brainstorm on unmoddable platforms is if/when you can run Immolate filters on the web
Since that’s what Brainstorm now uses under the hood

whats the button to auto reroll?

[full summit]

ctrl+t. ctrl+a for filtered

[small pivot]

thank you!

[strong apex]

Why can you only select 1 option for the auto reroll? i would suggest allowing multiple filters (rare tag, negative tag, spectral pack etc.)

[smoky roost]

V2.0.0 is not out yet? i can only find the v1.1.0

[mild dragon]

Source Code (zip) will work

[smoky roost]

i see, thx

[smoky roost]

😭

[frigid marten]

what about it

if brainstorm is installed correctly, it should be a tab in the settings

aka opções

[smoky roost]

Idk what im doing wrong

[frigid marten]

is it in the options

[smoky roost]

oh, im just being dumb... thx

[proper flicker]

Is there anyway to use Brainstorm for Perkeo and early Sixth Sense?

[dim root]

can anyone help me get this mod to work ?

I failed to do so

[full summit]

describe what you've done? have you followed the instructions with lovely injector?

[dim root]

yeah yeah I figured it out

but now I think filters doesnt work

For example I chose charm tag but I havent seen a single charm tag yet

[dim root]

got it

[prime minnow]

New version doesnt work with mac

beta version uses DLL files, which are incompatable with mac

when it is released fully will have mac compatability mode

[prime minnow]

great ! 🙂 thank you !

[silent spoke]

Does Brainstorm not work properly with Cryptid mod decks?
Is there a different hotkey other than R to restart and prompt the Brainstorm mod to look for the selected tags on the settings page?
When I press R it does not seem to search for what I have selected.

[prime minnow]

it's a different set of keys. Rerolling filtered is crtl+a

[silent spoke]

Awesome, thank you. But also, where does it say that? Just trying to alleviate confusion for others in the future.

[prime minnow]

I think it's indicated in the informations about the mod (I think)

[crimson mantle]

Never could make this mod work

everytime I press CTRL+A i got this error message on the console

[inland ledge]

can i use brainstorm to generate a seed with 2 legendaries

[mild dragon]

iirc the latest version has an option for that?

[full summit]

it has number of souls at the bottom, dunno what that does or if it's active

(2.0.0.alpha.1)

[mild dragon]

If you do that along with two charm tags it’ll generate a seed with two legendaries

[young lichen]

soo i have been playing with this mod and having fun but then saw this ... did i break something or them errors normal?

[gilded yarrow]

I am having some trouble downloading this mod.
I download the source.zip file, extract files, add it to the mod directory under the name 'Brainstorm', but in-game in the mods menu I only find Talisman

What does Disable Mod Badges do? Don’t tell me that shit disables achievements

[mild dragon]

That’s a steamodded setting

[gilded yarrow]

Is there any way to make runs utilising the brainstorm mod to count for achievements?

[inland creek]

brainstorm runs do count towards achievements

steamodded disables achievements

[drifting hawk]

well it could still store stuff that would count toward acheivments

like joker stickers

or discovery

[inland creek]

What

[drifting hawk]

what is confusing about that?

[inland creek]

like what are u on about i mean 😭

Brainstorm runs do count towards achievements

[drifting hawk]

they behave like a seeded run then?

[full summit]

they behave like an unseeded run unless using another mod that changes that

[drifting hawk]

so then you can do things towards acheivments

[inland creek]

Yes that's what I'm saying??

[drifting hawk]

oh

I may be stupid

[inland creek]

?

[kindred badger]

Although the mod appears as activated, the auto reroll doesn't work, any help?

[full summit]

2.0.0-beta?

[gilded yarrow]

How do I disable the disable achievements through steamodded. The seed line is always blue when I beat a run no matter the settings. Trying to remove steammoded from my files doesnt allow the game to load.

[kindred badger]

idk why the 2.0.0-alpha-1 appears as 2.0.0-beta but yep

i have tried an older version (1.1.0-alpha) and it works

[void lynx]

got a small question, how do the instant Perkeo/Observatory work? (not using it unless I want a run with it early, just curious)
(as in do you need to play the small blind or can you skip to the Ante 1 boss with no worries)

also, got a small suggestion, if it is possible, can future releases of this mod have the ability to search for the small and big blinds tags separately instead of just searching for the small blind when using the Auto-Rerolling/ctrl+a?

[full summit]

observatory is a seed with ante 1 telescope ante 2 observatory. if you have enough arcana cards in the packs to hit the soul that'll work too. usually skip for arcana, perkeo + temp is fine, some judgement hits ok. better is emperor hits both 🙂

[void lynx]

[inland ledge]

would it be possible to have it so it auto rerolls until a condition in erratic deck is made (i.e more than 7 jacks or 2s) or is that too specfic?

[elfin pollen]

game crashing when i do ctrl + a to auto roll

[reef hinge]

It doesn’t work if my language isn’t set to English

[south citrus]

tried installing the mod

and i got this error msg

[wet grove]

ctrl + t does nothing and ctrl + a gives error and resets the run, what am I doing wrong?

[full summit]

ctrl+a is reset to a seed with the parameters set

different versions have different things enabled? like I don't think latest commit has saves implemented

[wet grove]

It doesn't do auto reroll? Then what's the keybind for auto reroll?

[full summit]

ctrl + t is fast reroll. don't think there's auto?

[wet grove]

That doesn't work for me either

[peak stag]

Anyone know how the savestates work? The keybinds on the github don't work for me

[full summit]

it's only an earlier version with that feature afaik. I don't know if feature removed b/c another common mod does that

[peak stag]

Yeah i found it in debug mod in the end

[obsidian nacelle]

A friend of mine told me that this mod allows you to set the game speed beyond 4. I installed the mod, but I can't find the option to increase the game speed beyond 4. Did I do something wrong during the installation, or maybe I need another mod?

it's in https://github.com/OceanRamen/Saturn

Hey guys ive been crashing everytime i play perkeo and sell either the original or the copy it doesnt matter... the only mods i got installed are lovely steamodded brainstorm and saturn ... can anyone help?

[lost latch]

make sure all ur mods are up-to-date

[placid cape]

hi i have this crash when try auto-reroll function

[elfin hatch]

Guys, I'm new here
Is there a way to let the mod also consider modded content for its search? Like new Tags or Vouchers to look for?

[distant spear]

I just downloaded the latest version, but the mod only seems to look for seeds for 1 frame and then spout an error in the console, any ideas?

[distant spear]

how'd you fix it?

It really does not want to search for anything

[patent vault]

maybe try newest version of smods , i'm used version "1.0.0~ALPHA-1325a-STEAMODDED"

[patent vault]

smod version?
saturn version?

[distant spear]

I don't have any other mods installed, just lovely and 2.0.0 alpha

Here's my %appdata%-Balatro-Mods folder

Here's my steamapps balatro folder with version.dll

[patent vault]

maybe try added mod "Saturn", link: https://github.com/OceanRamen/Saturn/releases/tag/alpha-0.2.1-A

[distant spear]

does it work with lovely, or do I need anything else?

[patent vault]

yes, still one developer of brainstorm

[distant spear]

kk trying again with saturn now

same error 😦

The brainstorm mod just does not want to search with Ctrl + A

I want to use the latest update because of the perkeo search capabilities, but it really doesn't like doing it for some reason

every time I search it looks the same as the fast reroll

I went and downloaded it again with the 2.0.0 alpha 1 file but the same issue is occurring

[patent vault]

wait, i want try if i used only brainstorm mod

[distant spear]

could you show me what it looks like when you search?

[patent vault]

it works on me, just used only brainstorm mod

on setting menu "brainstorm"
AR: Tag Search "Charm Tag"
AR: Voucher Search "None"
AR: Pack Search "None"
AR: N. Souls "1"

AP: Seeds per frame "1000"
AR: Inst Observatory "checklist"
AR: Inst Perkeo "checklist"

[distant spear]

It's not working still, what shows up when you press Ctrl + A?

[full summit]

nothing, it just does it. that's seems good enough, only difference in my setup is I used a lower case folder name, mods

(selection of things is in options/brainstorm)

if not on windows or using steam stuff, there's another step to get lovely working though

[distant spear]

what's the other step for lovely?

[distant spear]

^?

[full summit]

step 5: https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector/blob/master/README.md

[distant spear]

can you show me what my mod folder should look like for this? I don't think my brainstorm folder is correct

I'm not on a steam deck, just a desktop

[full summit]

that, yours looks fine

[distant spear]

what about inside the brainstorm 2.0.0 folder? do I have any need for the master files on the download page?

[full summit]

that

[distant spear]

that's all I have in there... Any other ideas?

[full summit]

what's the log say? does the log open when balatro does?

[distant spear]

yes it does, all it says is stuff like this when I try to press ctrl + aIt really does not want to search for anything

oh whoops

there

[full summit]

ctrl+a

[distant spear]

I pressed it, same error

[full summit]

that all seems fine, what's here for you?

[distant spear]

unchanged besides the AP

[full summit]

pick telescope as the voucher

tag search too

[distant spear]

oh

It was an error because you have to have something in those sections?

[full summit]

ya, it searches for seeds with ante 1 perkeo. sometimes can only get from a charm skip if there's not arcana packs in the shop

[distant spear]

thank you so much for the help

[full summit]

generally, it's see if there's anyway to pay for the vouchers (like econ jokers or temperance

if not, reroll it

and either lovely or brainstorm or saturn make perkeo copying weird depending on versions

haven't figured that one out. not a prob if perkeo's mostly copying the same thing and you're not doing tarot loop or something

[drifting hawk]

Logging is busted on lovely rn

If you log multiple things in one pritn it just prints the one that many times

Foroget if it's the first or last

DebugPlus "fixes" this

[lime island]

hello, is there any way to change the keybinds? since the auto reroll keybind overlaps with debugplus's eternal toggle
I've tried editing both the config file (Brainstorm.jkr) and some code (Brainstorm.lua) but nothing seems to apply

[drifting hawk]

f it helps debugPlus gas an option to not nee ctrl so you can toggle eterbal wuthout pressing ctrl

[lime island]

I do know about that, however I would like to keep the ctrl option on to not accidentally do something

[tidal vessel]

anyone able to help with this

[meager sierra]

I think I found a little bug if I have brainstorm mod
trading card doesn't destroy the card when I discard
Idk if it's cause of incompatibility with other mod but I have just the achievements enabler mod and I don't think it conflicts

[orchid turret]

Does anyone know why I can’t use z+(1-5) to make save stats or ctrl+t to reroll in brainstorm? The settings show up but only ctrl a works

[full summit]

afaik broken/changed outside the official release

[drifting hawk]

I belive the save states were removed from brainstorm

(but DebugPlus has them if you want them)

[split hemlock]

I have that too, did you fix it?

[tidal vessel]

Gave up and just uninstalled mods

[split hemlock]

sad, i really wanted it to work... :(

[deft tendon]

how does this work?

is it just ctrl a to reroll?

cuz that just crashed my game

[uncut fjord]

something im missing here? had it working and now it just does nothing. Reroll shortcut looks fine. Had ortalab, extra credits, and neato jokers in the directory. Enabled ortalab and now nothing works. I removed all mods from the directory and search just doesnt work anymore

[full summit]

needs lovely. that's still there?

[deft tendon]

does anyone know how this works

bcz i did it ctrl-a but it doesnt search fora nything

[full summit]

you need to set things on the screen above in options. is that screen there?

[uncut fjord]

Yea lovely is there. I think ortalab messed with it. Had to remove everything and validate game files

[deft tendon]

yes i did but it freezes and after a bit it comes back but it does nothing

[full summit]

what device are you using it on? I don't know the version of immolate used, might be slow on your system. try setting seeds per frame to lowest

[deft tendon]

arm64

[deft tendon]

surface laptop 7 i think

iirc

[full summit]

set something simple like only choosing a voucher and the lowest seeds checked per frame. does it find anything?

(the problem might be in shared vid/cpu resources and that it's arm...but that's just speculation. I do a little hobby programming but I'm not a pro)

[deft tendon]

arm L :(

[wicked hound]

how do i reroll faster with this mod?

[crude crag]

Can someone help for some reasons the save states aren't working

Everything else seems fine

[split hemlock]

CTRL+R

[split hemlock]

the states were removed from the latest versions. readme hasnt been updated

[warm swan]

how does the perkeo option work?

[loud yew]

how comes?

[split hemlock]

dev said that in this chat somewhere idk, there are other mods for save states i think if you need

[loud yew]

alr

[full summit]

pick the charm tag

[loud yew]

whenever i hit CTRL+A my game stops responding

[grand anvil]

(Mb for bad quality, playing the game on steam deck)

Don’t see rerolling option did I do something wrong?

[cloud condor]

maybe u need to enable the mod?

oh.

nvm

im stupid

[loud yew]

Not sure why, but when i enable inst perkeo + inst observatory it doesn't meet the requirements i give it

\

fixed nvm

[peak stag]

You can't do pack search as well

[loud yew]

ohh

[peak stag]

Not sure why, but yeah doing too many at once makes instant observatory not work

[pearl knot]

where can i see the source for this method?

[mild dragon]

I believe it’s an older commit of https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Immolate/tree/cpp-rewrite

[pearl knot]

ty

[hushed hatch]

hey, how exactly do I create and load save states? I might be missing something, but it doesn't seem to function for me

[loud yew]

they've been removed

you can use debugplus for save states

but now brainstorm is just for rerolling

[hushed hatch]

ah that explain it. Thanks!

[small orbit]

is there a way to make brainstorm look for tags, vouchers ext only in ante 1?

[granite marsh]

genuinely have no idea how to get this working

[worn mesa]

hi can someone help me set up the brainstorm mod? it keeps crashing when I try to reroll with ctrl + a

heres the error message

[drifting hawk]

it doesn't work on mac

unless you get an older version

[worn mesa]

i installed the older version and it still crashes a lot

i noticed its always at the boss blind in ante 1

[nova harness]

Hello, I am having some issues trying to get this mod on Mac, can someone help me out?

[full summit]

macos, see the instructions on lovely installer. imac...don't think there's anything easy to be done

[gaunt bridge]

how do i get the mod to work? I hvae it installed and I have souls set to 1 but whenever i create a new run its never there

[full summit]

pick the charm tag

[mortal sierra]

would this be compatible with jen's almanac and cryptid?

[solemn kelp]

im looking to download this mod and it says put it into the mods folder, do I make that myself? I dont have one in either my app data or the steam data files

[drifting hawk]

Make sure you have lovely https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector#manual-installation

[solemn kelp]

yup I saw that on the github instructions and downloaded it first

[solemn kelp]

im still having issues getting the mod to work

I got the lovely screen show up, a little command terminal stating the lovely version and a bunch of stuff, no error message or anything

game opens fine

just no mod

the brainstorm mod does not show up in the lovely modloader pop up at all so I assume I didnt copy in the file right

[drifting hawk]

Lovely doesn't list mods that you have

I believe brainstirn adds a new tab to the settings so you can check for that

Make sure it's not nested

[solemn kelp]

oh got it

ok im just an idiot

I had opened everything but the settings button

rip me

thanks for your help

[unkempt hatch]

is there any way of increasing the log trace to check why the mod is falling?

[wary echo]

guys

the mod is not rerolling

[keen rain]

Hey guys i downloaded the baltro brainstorm mod. I understand the keybinds are ctr+a/ctr+r. I want to play an observatory perkeo run. When i do ctr-a it will restart until it finds a seed but I never see observatory or perkeo how do i set it up?

[full summit]

tag charm and voucher telescope

[keen rain]

Goated ty

[severe vale]

any idea why?

[loud yew]

there's an explanation here somewhere but I don't remember the exact reason

you can achieve the exact same thing with debug plus

[golden fossil]

Divvy's History also has a more robust save/load feature, with autosaves and named save files

[violet wedge]

heyo, anyone know why brainstorm isnt appearing in settings?

[violet wedge]

Nevermind, i realized i hadnt actually installed the mod, but rather the source code :p

https://tenor.com/view/the-ancient-magus-bride-anime-girl-anime-gif-lucy-gif-3129237649616031524

[minor yew]

on git hub i don't find the brainstorm.zip file, there are only source codes

[full summit]

it's compile at load, doesn't need one unless using another mod loader possibly

just that not all features are in one branch/update there. some assembly required

[wispy rock]

Anyone have any clue as to why it says ERROR here when I try to ctrl a?

[wispy rock]

Heres my log file

I assume its because of API loaded no but I'm not sure

I am able to see Brainstorm in the settings menu as well

[hot walrus]

Is this all corecct? I just cant get it to work. Theres no error or smth but theres just no menu or anything

[golden fossil]

The mod is nested within a second folder called Brainstorm - you should move that folder shown in the third screenshot up a level so that there is only one folder called Brainstorm containing all the mod files

[hot walrus]

Thank you! That did the trick! youre the goat fr fr

[golden fossil]

This is true for all mods, by the way. Lovely doesn't search any deeper than Mods/<mod_name>/lovely, so it's important to watch out for nesting when you're extracting mod folders.

[frozen wind]

Hey everyone, looking for help here :
I want to use the brainstorm mod to get a perkeo seed, but when I use the fast roll command (ctrl + a), my game just closes and I've never seen anyone with the same problem

[leaden elk]

i feel like i am a bit too stupid to understand how to properly use this mod @w@

how "insta" is the insta perkeo thing?

bceause i thought it would be on the first arcana/spectral pack in the shop or something but i'm not getting it

[outer pagoda]

it should be the first skip with charm tag

[outer pagoda]

also im a little confused with the save states feature because it doesnt seem to be working is there anything i need to do specifically to make it work?

[mild fiber]

green needle

[spiral osprey]

I just downloaded the brainstorm mod zip from GitHub

How do I make it work tho

I got the mod to show up lmao but I have no clue how to even change the parameters for the reroll

[odd moat]

guys i just got the mod, and inputed my parameters, how do i make it find the seed?

[cinder helm]

Can someone help me find the keybind data in the brainstorm mod's code

i need to change it

[mystic seal]

Guys could this mod possibly work on mobile?

I can't use the ctrl key

[meager sierra]

Idk how could you mod mobile and I believe it's against the rules to even try or talk about it

Rule 4

[wide warren]

what version of steamodded does it need?

[potent gazelle]

you cant discuss modding mobile here please move to the lovly or smods servers, they can help you

[teal canopy]

do brainstorm seeds work with vanilla balatro

[meager sierra]

I think they do brainstorm doesn't generate seeds just runs a bunch of them every frame till it gets the right one

[spiral imp]

wait nevermind figured it out

You've downloaded the old basic version of Brainstorm instead of the Immolate-enhanced version. Grab it from here:
https://github.com/OceanRamen/Brainstorm/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha-1

[silver edge]

i'm a bit confused rn with the mod

i just got it but either i'm misinterpreting what the mod is supposed to do or it's not functioning properly

these are my settings but it seems like i can't pull perkeo and whenever i try different tags or voucher searches they dont show up

also ctrl+t isn't visibly doing anything and ctrl+a sometimes freezes my game

oh ok i think i fixed the searches not working but still no insta perkeo and my game is still very much crashing

Oh right ok the freeze is just it rerolling got it

[viral latch]

hello, does the latest version of brainstorm mod work ? I got the menu and can setup my filters, but crtl+a does give me errors in the logs and just do one basic reroll (without what I want)

[wide kite]

I also have problems with Brainstorm; my ctrl+a works, but ctrl+t does nothing, and also the Save state inputs do nothing, z+1 or any number doesnt do anything, whether on the numpad or above the letters ._.

[wide kite]

Ok, I installed the mod from an earlier version, and now z+1 crashes the game...

[wide kite]

This begs the question; was the Save state feature straight up removed??

Also, the newest releases only have source codes on the Github, not "Brainstorm.zip" like some of the earlier releases, with an actual mod file to download...is this mod abandonned? Is this feature lost forever?

[wide kite]

Ah...guess that answers that.

[slate mist]

pressing ctrl + a gives this error and freezes the game

[drifting hawk]

That error is not useful due to a bug in lovely

I'm not familiar with the issue here but I do know DebugPlus works around that bug allowing us to read the error

[graceful crypt]

PLEASE HELP!!!
When I reroll the seed on Brainstorm mod, I get this specific seed back at a really high rate.
I have cleared this seed and noticed that this seed is invalid.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

[robust juniper]

Does the save state feature still work? I can't figure out how to make it do its thing

[drifting hawk]

No it was removed. You can use DebugPlus for save states

[lusty epoch]

does inst perkeo still work?

[silver badge]

just a quick question, i wasted an afternoon trying to get the mod working on an arm mac but it just doesn't work: i can see it's installed and it appears in the setting menu but ctrl+a/ctrl+r don't do anything. Is it possible to use brainstorm on mac? or is it just not compatible?

[drifting hawk]

You have to download an old version IIRC

For mac

[silver badge]

Do you remember the specific version? Anyway thanks!

[fresh salmon]

how you get love2D and steamodded 0927a?

[golden fossil]

Love2D is the engine that Balatro uses, everyone "has" Love2D. ALPHA-0927a was an older version of SMODS from September 27 last year

[fresh salmon]

Thanks

ctr + T didnt work for me

[teal bridge]

hey im trying to install this mod but it keeps crashing

can someone help

[wary quail]

doesnt even load

vvas vvorking fine before tho, idk y it does this novv

[lone fulcrum]

so they got rid of debug mode right. if so does anyone know another mod that adds debug

[wary quail]

idk tf u talking about debug mode getting being rid of but theres debugplus and the recent debugplusplus

[lone fulcrum]

I mean from brainstorm, i didn't know of these other mods

[small pivot]

quick question, what is the key to auto restart. and where do you go to put the restart parameters

the option in settings for brainstorm is not showing

[full summit]

then it's not setup properly. you have lovely injector and have set that up?

[night widget]

does this mod not work anymore?

[tawdry quail]

i just downloaded the brainstorm mod, but i don't think it's working properly. It shows up on my mods list, but there is no tab for it in settings and the hotkeys don't work either

am I missing something? is there some other thing i need to do? i already have lovely and steammodded working properly for multiplayer

[night widget]

should be in your main settings?

[night widget]

seems like it is incompatible with content mods + vouchers are broken for base game too

[tawdry quail]

Wdym by main settings?

Like main menu? If so its not there :(

[night widget]

Just the vanilla settings

[tawdry quail]

I dont understand 😭

What vanilla settings

[tawdry quail]

brainstorm is active

[night widget]

Weird lol it should pop up here

Yeah no clue

Sorry

[night widget]

I don’t think the mod is managed anymore rip

Was a great run

[sonic pilot]

funny thing is that brainstorm 2.0.0 mod still working fine

but it will happen like this when I changed to alpha one

[faint hemlock]

Does brainstrom work for finding specific skip tags in something like ante 6 or 7?

[full summit]

you'd have to build it to do that

[zealous smelt]

can I get a version of this with no save states?

[golden fossil]

I'm pretty sure the latest release removed the save state feature

[zealous smelt]

good!!

[zealous smelt]

what does AR N. SOULS do?

[full summit]

if you want a soul card in the skip for arcana pack. sometimes needed for instant perkeo

[mental flax]

Anyone having issues with auto reroll with cryptid? I put the parameters in, wait a bit, and it just doesn't work.

Im very new to modding so i might have made a mistake but the mod seems to work fine when cryptid and talisman are disabled

[weak garnet]

Ya doesn't work with cryptid.

[mental flax]

Thank you for confirming for me

[hollow trellis]

Not able to get the souls / Instant Perkeo working with brainstorm. Packs, tags, and vouchers work OK.
Every time I hit ctrl A to re-roll in the game I get Error Error Error in the lovely injector window and I'm not getting any souls

[wary echo]

You should probably not be trying to get people's souls. That would be painful

[tropic heron]

Also getting errors when trying any rerolls

[torn radish]

I don't know why, but in all cases Ctrl+a autoreroll function straight up crashes the game, on every single version of the mod, no errors just closes the game same as alt+f4 does. But all other functions work fine, like, i tried to fill all savestatw slots and loading them as fast as I can, works fine. Fast reroll works with no issue. If anyone knows what is true cause of this issue please answer.

[minor badger]

does the save state stuff work? not getting it to work here

[bitter jacinth]

add compatability with Cryptid?

[stone pelican]

hello, i'm having this problem with the mod, when i'm trying to use auto-rerolling, the game crashes with the error:
Immolate.dll: invalid ELF header
how can i fix that?

[untold tendon]

this mod has not been updated in nearly 2 years you should not expect it to work or get support for the most part

[fickle flicker]

is there an alternative

[untold tendon]

as far as i am aware no

[drifting hawk]

This mod claims to have an auto reroll, not sure if it has feature parity https://canary.discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1458048711799079034 https://github.com/Eternalnacho/Troubadour
