!I have autism so please use clear and non-ambiguous vocabulary!
I tried to put a texture pack as a base so that I could then modify it but it's not working ? Why ?
#Please help me.

Where is "lovely-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip." I can't find it.
tulip otter
"into the game directory" What is that ?
dark crystal
in Balatro's properties on steam, click Installed Files, then Browse...
tulip otter
So in this ?
dark crystal
yea
tulip otter
That seems to work ! Now I need to find to pick another mod to try and add textures, the one I used only modify playing cards... Thanks for the help.

npnp
tiny totem
oo which textures are you trying to replace?
tulip otter
oo which textures are you trying to replace?
Jokers textures
tiny totem
ah i see
balatro dark mode should work fine as a base for your mod then
tulip otter
ah i see
balatro dark mode should work fine as a base for your mod then
But it modifies the playing cards not the jokers ?
tiny totem
oh no wait
sorry
i was thinking about another mod xd
you can get an example texture pack that does replace jokers from the steamodded file itself
its called "NegateTexturePack"
tulip otter
https://github.com/jie65535/awesome-Balatro?tab=readme-ov-file#challenges Can't find it here
tiny totem
it already in the steamodded 0.98 file actually!
So in your mods folder, go to "steamodded-0.98" then "example_mods"
the texture pack should be there
tulip otter
And then what ? Do I modify the 1x or 2x folder or do I need to create a copy of them and move them elsewhere ?
tiny totem
well, first move the "NegateTexturePack" file to the mods folder to see it in action
when making a texture pack, you have to replace both the 1x and 2x files
tulip otter
Is there a NegateTexturePack that keeps the original Jokers appearances if I only want to modify a few of them ?
tiny totem
you can get the vanilla/original joker sprite from the game itself
i forgot how, lemme recheck it

Take your time 👍 and thanks for the help
tiny totem
aha! you don't need to grab it from the game!
luckily, someone posted the 1x version here #1250386587691388989 message
the 2x file is simply 1x but doubled in size
@tulip otter
here you go
also the 2x version, may be helpful!
tulip otter
Thank you so all I need to do now is take the NegateTexturePack, replace the pictures by these that I can then modify and I am good to go ? But wait, There is also Negative booster packs and Blind Chips in the folder, do I just delete those ? Or do I also need the normal sheet for those too ?
tiny totem
yeah, you can now do the texture replacements and you can delete the other textures you're not changing
however, before you do that first open up the "NegateTexturePack.lua"
you can open the lua file by selecting it and choosing "open with notepad" or any other text editing software if you have any
that is the code for the mod
this is what you'll see in there
since you're just replacing joker textures, you can remove the lines that aren't used for jokers
should look like this now
tulip otter
And if I want to modify the name of the mod, I just have to change NegateTexturePack ? right ?
tiny totem
yupp!
tulip otter
I also need to change the Jokers-negate.png to the name of my sprite sheet ? right ?
tiny totem
yessir!
very important, make sure to replace local negate_mod = SMODS.findModByID("NegateTexturePack") to the ID you switched to at the top
i've done a mistake where i didn't do that before xd
also, mod author must be in [brackets]
also mod ID cannot have any spaces
dang i should've said this beforehand
tulip otter
Wait does the mod use the sprite sheet in 1x or 2x if both have the same name ?
tulip otter
But if I modify one, how can I make sure the second is identical ?
tiny totem
an easy way is to make the 1x one first, then double its size

Can I use this website to do that ? Do I just click on the 100% option ?
tiny totem

tulip otter
Imma test it
tiny totem
yayy!!
