I dug into a problem I had earlier and it turns out when i wrap evaluate_play and do stuff to G.play.cards before it, the change is there, but it happens after it got passed into the rest of evaluate_play

If I install mods on PC and try to play unmodded on Steam Deck, will that cause issues?

finally...
one thing making this kinda hard is that the game is very blurry because of the scaling settings i have
i have a dumb 4k monitor that i hate and i changed the high dpi settings on balatro to system so it runs at half resolution but its not crisp like most games are
this is how it works with most programs vs balatro (defined 2x2 pixels vs smooth scaling)

if there are 6 colors for the bow and 6 colors for the background, we can have at least 36 jokers using the gift card art

this thing that i'm going to rework my "line card" idea into

mechanically, it will function like wild cards, but for straights

i guess it looks okay

is this a custom rank or enhancement? wild x-cards sound really good then
yeah, it's an enhancement. i'm not so stupid to make an "instant straight flush" card

Straight flush five
iron onyx
Straight flush five
the X card automatically determines its effective rank as either the most fitting rank for the straight, or AKQJT if you play a full hand of X cards
so A23X5 means that X = 4
XXQJT means that the X cards are A and K respectively
wary moth

that makes sense.
however, what if I was playijng like 5555X, would the X just not score, or would it fill the role of the 5, to make a five of a kind?
stray olive
This mechanic (wild rank) is in I Was A Teenage Exocolonist, and it works for both pairs and straights
unkempt geyser
wild rank is sort of strong seeming
i assume its a tarot that puts it on one card?
iron onyx
yeah, i'm mainly focusing on straights for right now
and yes
the brilliantly drawn "page of cups"
unkempt geyser
i mean its def fun sounding
boreal ibex
what about two pair + x? does it full house?
iron onyx
it... probably could, yeah
unkempt geyser
i mean wild rank tries to make the highest ranked hand it can right
persumably gives +0 chips?
iron onyx
it mimics the chip value of the highest card
stray olive
wild rank is sort of strong seeming
i assume its a tarot that puts it on one car...
Yeah, one concern is that even a tarot putting this on one card might be too strong
Could be a spectral?
unkempt geyser
i mean giving 0 chips would definitely make it qeaker
iron onyx
i mean, that's fair... but at the same time
unkempt geyser
tho still obviously good
iron onyx
it's not like x of a kind decks are seriously hurting
high card, pair, 3oak, 4oak, 5oak
i was mainly just not even considering how these would all work because like
there are already ways to fix your deck for that
death, strength, cryptid, getting lucky on ouija
i don't think a wild rank tarot would make them that much stronger
like, don't get me wrong; i totally get it
stray olive
It’s true that making straights better without making e.g. full houses better would be a nice use of an enhancement
iron onyx
i mean, full house and two pair don't have THAT much support
spare trousers, the reworked mad and clever...
stray olive
Half the taroting you do supports them though
iron onyx
they can take the pair jokers
stray olive
It’s really the deck shaping that’s the issue, not the jokers
iron onyx
yeah, it really is
i figure making X cards function as you would expect them to for X of a kind and such would be inconsequential in the grand scheme of things
okay, they're good at deck shaping for those hands
stray olive
“Consistently make straights” is hard to build into. Shortcut is the right kind of idea. But it’s one joker, so it’s too rare and also takes a joker slot
iron onyx
so are a lot of things
stray olive
While the non-straight decks can eventually make themselves consistent without a joker
Maybe an enhancement that somehow replicates the Shortcut concept?
iron onyx
also, the only way you could make 4oak X-cards is if you played XXXX[stone]
unkempt geyser
i mean the problem is mostly that straights are inherently worse at being consistent
iron onyx
Maybe an enhancement that somehow replicates the Shortcut concept?
well, it KINDA does that anyway
it just functions as whatever card it needs to be for a typical straight
stray olive
i mean the problem is mostly that straights are inherently worse at being consis...
(Avoiding obvious jokes)
….
Yeah but that’s a worthy goal to address
unkempt geyser
a deck with only hearts will always draw a flush but a deck with only akqjt can still not straight
stray olive
Specifically in deck shaping, not Jokers
iron onyx
yeah like
civic grail
maybe stupid, but maybe a card that assumes the rank of the card on its left +1?
unkempt geyser
i mean you probably dont want an enhancement thats just awful if it cant be used as a straight right
iron onyx
yeah, like
unkempt geyser
i mean ig stone cards exist
iron onyx
it's actually kinda worse to rely on X cards for xoak decks
iron onyx
especially if i keep it as an enhancement and not a custom rank
unkempt geyser
to make it not the most attractive option for xoak
stray olive
The cleanest and simplest idea seems to be “wild rank” but worth investigating if it just leads you to build into 5oak rather than straight anyway
iron onyx
to make it not the most attractive option for xoak
the problem with that is that they're already worse for xoak if it's an enhancement
because then you can't have bonus, mult, lucky, etc.
stray olive
Yeah but giving 5oak easier faster consistency earlier in the game is still value
dapper helm
me making my aces x cards 1 at a time so i can get 5oak 2s (i could just use the strength tarot)
stray olive
If you make a few X cards early in the run, you could have access to consistent 4oak very fast
iron onyx
and as i said before, you can't do the same thing with:
- death?
- strength?
- cryptid?
- a lucky roll of ouija?
stray olive
Ouija is the best comparison. And note the massive coat it has
dapper helm
strength, death and hanged man are mostly better than x playing cards would be for 5oak i agree
iron onyx
the problem isn't with the card, it's the fact that 5oak is too consistent to be as strong as it is
dapper helm
its like comparing making 1 wild card at a time to converting your whole deck into 1 suit with the suit tarots and sigil
iron onyx
EXACTLY
dapper helm
its not really that insane
stray olive
A few X cards early in the game would allow 4oak/5oak plays of any rank. You can’t do anything like that with current tarot
unkempt geyser
like the card's identity seems likely to be "the early oak card" than "the straight card"
but maybe it's not! idk
stray olive
like the card's identity seems likely to be "the early oak card" than "the strai...
Yes that’s what I’m thinking. If wild rank existed it would primarily be a smooth easy path to consistent 5oak game plans
dapper helm
naur, if you try too hard to avoid a good thing (oak builds) continuing to be good then its just gonna end up not doing anything for any build
sleek granite
i feel like enabling an X Card build to be good isnt an inherently bad thing
iron onyx
it's already the second easiest build to shape IMO
(flushes are the easiest. maybe not the strongest, but definitely the easiest.)
unkempt geyser
high card:
astral glade
hey chat what the fuck
iron onyx
@unkempt geyser i consider high card to be part of the greater "XOAK" problem
unkempt geyser
i mean
high card doesnt need any deck manip is the joke
unkempt geyser
isnt death being sorta op the point
dapper helm
maybe? i'm not sure
unkempt geyser
its not even like
that strong
like 1 death is usually not that good
by itself
(in hand is awesome though)
dapper helm
its like 5 consumables at once kinda, copy an edition suit rank enhancement and seal is certainly something
iron onyx
so wouldn't that be the same deal for one page of cups?
unkempt geyser
in order to be strong it also sort of needs something good to copy
so like
a good seal or edition
dapper helm
its pretty good just copying enhancement, suit and rank imo
unkempt geyser
which aren't super rare but definitely not something you can take for granted
dapper helm
true
unkempt geyser
its pretty good just copying enhancement, suit and rank imo
its ok but strength and hanged man are both better at that point imo
dapper helm
its ok but strength and hanged man are both better at that point imo
i think strength needs to be buffed ngl, if for example i only wanted kings it'd be deranged of me to ever pick another strength once all my queens and maybe jacks are gone
iron onyx
that's why i say X cards would be a poor man's death
because sure
it will give you ACCESS to the special hands
and the multipliers will be strong early
but you don't scale like you would copying the same polychrome mult red seal 2
over and over
unkempt geyser
x cards are way better at special hands than death
in ease of seeing them
like its no contest
iron onyx
and honestly like
dapper helm
that's why i say X cards would be a poor man's death
you're going in a good direction imo and i might need to go change something i suggested in ortalab cause of it lmao, similar idea but its gonna be a bit differently executed
iron onyx
is that a big problem
unkempt geyser
you put like 3 in your deck and now you just make 4oaks rather than 3oaks
iron onyx
especially given that you might not have as much invested in 4oak than 3oak
unkempt geyser
_is that a big problem_
not really but i thought the point was to make "enhancement that makes you want to play straights specifically"
if that's not the goal then I think they sound fine to test
iron onyx
the primary goal is to make straights easier
if the secondary consequences make an already bad problem slightly worse?
i don't see the big issue
dapper helm
not too much you can do for straights without side effects
unkempt geyser
i mean i dont really consider 5oak a problem lol
its more that straights are inherently bad
than that 5oak is too good
iron onyx
fair
unkempt geyser
its not like 50% of my games are 5oak
if any hand deserves to be targeted with that its pair or hc
iron onyx
yeah, and straights inherently being bad is why i came up with X cards
dapper helm
oh god i just found something cursed
unkempt geyser
one other concept i had when i thought briefly abt this earlier was an enhancement that let the card sit "between" others in a straight
so like you can play 5677*8

so i figured out how i'm going to balance my "x cards" concept with non-straights; X cards can only act as each rank once
so 4X5XX is two pair, and 4X55X is full house
which means 5XXXX is only a pair
that way, it gives the most support to the less consistent deck types, without making XOAK builds significantly better
red marten
how would you get into the files to change the textures i cant figure it out
cursive compass
i could make a LOVELY texture pack template if anyone wants it
unless posting assets is against the rules?

yea, do that its a good idea, not biased i swear
red marten
actually whats the best way to go about retexturing a card
cursive compass
i meeean.... yknow... the template should work
red marten
i know
but
im not really sure what i would do
or how to make sure everything looks right
is there a guide on the server in like the modded section maybe
cursive compass
do you mean like, stylistically?
i think referencing the original sprites is good if you're trying to match the artstyle, it is inconsistent in some places but in general you'll want to keep a relatively small color palette
by inconsistent i mean sometimes you'll see gradients/texture overlays/etc that have a whole bunch of colors but other than that its pretty simple
red marten
basics
like changing whats on the card
for example
i wanna change how every 7 looks
and put like an image on it
cursive compass
just use an image editor that supports transparency, aka basically everything other than ms paint
red marten
which do you recommend?
ALSO if the image is transparent whats a good way to track if the changes are going to be centered and whatnot
cursive compass
i use aseprite but it's paid, you could try paint dot net or something
red marten
ah ah ah
astral glade
aseprite can be compiled for free
cursive compass
ALSO if the image is transparent whats a good way to track if the changes are go...
that's a good question, the sprites arent really separated out into a grid system, you kinda just have to divide the dimensions of the image by how many sprites are on each row/column and use those as your guidelines
cursive compass
like for example
8bitdeck.png is 923x380
it has 13 columns and 4 rows
923/13 = 71 and 380/4 = 95
so your grid will be 71x95
in aseprite specifically, you can set that up with the grid tool, which just gives you a visual reference
cursive compass
also if you look in the lua file the two numbers near the end of each line also correspond to the dimensions of the grid for that image, it's 71x95 for most things but there are some exceptions
golden echo
How does downloading mods work? Am I required to have a fresh save file to do it?
red marten
like for example
8bitdeck.png is 923x380
it has 13 columns and 4 rows
923/13 = 7...
ok cool so
another question
would i be able to put custom images from the internet on aseprite
cursive compass
yeah just copy paste
red marten
would the image get super compressed or just stay the same
for example what if i wanted to put this on a card
would this be super tiny and bulred or would there be a way around it
blurred
sleek granite
anyone know how stone cards hide the card's rank?
pretty much everyrhing stone card related is hardcoded
iron onyx
thaaaaaaaaat's exactly what i was worried about
astral glade
i HATE stone cards
sleek granite
Good Luck
cursive compass
for example what if i wanted to put this on a card
you'd have to shrink it but it'll be higher resolution if you put it on the 2x sprites and have pixel smoothing on
red marten
whats the diffrence between 1x and 2x
sleek granite
bad and good
red marten
i also noticed theres 2 versions of the templates on both
red marten
bad and good
2x better?
cursive compass
2x is just the 1x images upscaled by 200%, it's used for the pixel smoothing option
cursive compass
it's never been easier to make your kings Baldi Basic
red marten
omfg thats awesome
red marten
for example what if i wanted to put this on a card
so if i got this image and shrunk it and put it on the template from the 2x it would look fine or at least not like a color blur?
cursive compass
if you just place it over the card that you want it to show up on it should work fine
red marten
i assume you can also erase whats already on the card
cursive compass
you can see the baldis are a little pixelated but it's not that bad unless you look super close
red marten
also the reason i ask all this is so i can get a reason to pull the trigger on aseprite
cursive compass
yea you can erase or do whatever
red marten
ok cool got it already purchased
red marten
yea you can erase or do whatever
so again theres 2 here the 8bit_op1 and just 8bit should i be using one or the other?
cursive compass
the opt2 one is high contrast cards
same with ui assets opt2
so use whichever you prefer
red marten
is there an option in the game to change which ones are being used
cunning silo

how did you save it?

why are you doing that
red marten

oh you're trying to add it into actual balatro
i would recommend steamodded or lovely honestly i don't mess with the actual exe
red marten
o.
so how would i add it through that?
i have steamodder and lovely but i just dont know how to mess with them
cursive compass
the readme has instructions for how to install steamodded itself as well as mods
red marten
wait so should i be making this as like a pac or trying to change the files cuz i already have lovely and steamodder
cursive compass
i'd recommend just keeping it in the template tbh
you can just edit that one image and put the template folder into the mods folder
cursive compass
yeah thats how steamodded works
lean dune
yeah thats how steamodded works
not quite, you have to actually register the sprite in code

ah right
red marten
putting the folder in mods didnt work

how's the file structure
does it go mods > template > template > lua/assets
or

cause it needs to be the latter
red marten
this is all in appdata right?

You can check for if a specific sticker is on a joker and set it to false like how the game handles eternal vs. rental

so no good crossmod compatibility option?

eternal and perish take up the same position on the card .. perhaps some way to indicate this in the api for automatic usage?
