[humble rampart]

only 4 of my jokers arent uncommon

[rare shell]

art is a journey and we're all taking the same stairway

[humble rampart]

the drop rate for each rarity will be the same

[rare shell]

always push yourself 🫡

[sleek granite]

jokes on you i jumped out the window

[humble rampart]

it's extremely comfortable down here

[hard plank]

very perl

[wraith seal]

im scared of height sorry

[rare shell]

personally i find emulating other peoples artwork to be a good way to improve my artistic skill

thats how i learned pixel art tbh

[torn urchin]

Hi nxkoo

[humble rampart]

coming back to this if you wanna do more commons you could just do regular jimbo edits

[torn urchin]

Hi Bepis

[humble rampart]

that's what most of them are in vanilla anyways

[torn urchin]

Don't worry I'll hold your hand

[rare shell]

im gonna do the joker sprite if no ones gonna do it god damn it i havent sprited in a minute

[wraith seal]

hi pearto man
-# what do i call you

[plush hound]

haaaaaaaaaaaiiiiii

[humble rampart]

editing jimbo is fun an easy

[torn urchin]

Pearto, Incog idc

[sleek granite]

i mean look at this, im so bad at art /j

[rare shell]

time to crack open the ancient tome

[frigid mica]

Is it by design that the Jen’s jokers are specifically using the soul backdrop? (Like Perkeo for example, he has a green backdrop with his name on it and his face at the front)

[torn urchin]

I'm pearto now

[deft ore]

peak humor

[dense egret]

the loaf that makes you straight

[humble rampart]

so fucking specific

pos

[sleek granite]

it makes the normal tarot version of it which gives +4 mult if held in consumable slots

[wraith seal]

is this backgroud color good enough

[sleek granite]

i love it

[wraith seal]

i kinda want to make it a gradient between this and the normal white, but is that excessive

[humble rampart]

i mean its a color

[sleek granite]

make it cool

[humble rampart]

okay how do i say that without being an ass

[sleek granite]

do the thnig that makes it cool

[humble rampart]

like i dont think there's a bad way you can fuck it up

[wraith seal]

just be blunt, i can take criticism

[frigid mica]

What is the use of lovely patching

[dense egret]

imo no

[humble rampart]

coward

[wraith seal]

damn

hm

[humble rampart]

makes mods work

[wraith seal]

on my search for a color that everyone thinks its good then

[humble rampart]

could just use white

[dense egret]

that one looks too transparent

[wraith seal]

...transparent?

[frigid mica]

No like, I see specific mods with .toml files

[dense egret]

mmmm yea idk how to explain it

[sleek granite]

the point of the color is to signify that the effect isnt part of the joker

stacked moment

[humble rampart]

honestly i don't think color should be on the text boxes like that

[wraith seal]

me when my joker has 100 effects

[hard plank]

or a separator

[humble rampart]

seems like it'd make it harder to read

[dense egret]

what about borders

[wraith seal]

oh yeah, i guess i could try a separator idea

maybe a text between the joker's effect and the extra effects

[humble rampart]

borders are cool imo

[wraith seal]

something that says, like, Extra Effects

[humble rampart]

which ones

vanilla?

ah

[frigid mica]

I wish I knew how to color a text box black so I can use a white font. (For my sans joker)

[dense egret]

but borders in text boxes cant exist.
at least i never see one

[sleek granite]

ui elements can have borders

[wraith seal]

its surprisingly simple

[humble rampart]

i didnt bring up borders idk

[hard plank]

you can do it

[sleek granite]

surely you can apply it to a text box

[hard plank]

my windows isn't booting again

[dense egret]

i will search that, now im curious

[frigid mica]

But I never figured it out

[wraith seal]

hook to Card:generate_UIBox_ability_table, change the return.box_colours

[sleek granite]

simply do this wall of text

[wraith seal]

you can just kinda ignore everything else

[hard plank]

my storage is not detected amazing

[humble rampart]

simply paste this image into the text software

[wraith seal]

thats the only line that matters

[humble rampart]

👍

[sleek granite]

bepis youre so silly

[hard plank]

did my ssd0 fail

[wraith seal]

hey theres a reason im pointing to a specific line.................

[frigid mica]

“Lighten” is that a blending mode?

[wraith seal]

makes a color lighter

[humble rampart]

checks out

[wraith seal]

the closer to 1, the lighter

[hard plank]

yeah either my ssd lose connection or outright failed

[wraith seal]

above 1 is just white i think

[frigid mica]

How do I set box color to black?

Darken?

[wraith seal]

ret.box_colours = ret.box_colours or {}
ret.box_colours[1] = G.C.BLACK

probably that?

[rare shell]

im drawing some fuckshit

[frigid mica]

Share

[wraith seal]

its either 1 or 2, shrug

[humble rampart]

im looking at lazy jokers i made

i dont remember halfof these

i think one of them is an evangelion reference

it sure fuckin is

[wraith seal]

well thats useless lmao

not even X100 can save that

[humble rampart]

temperance value

gift card value

think about it

EXODIA!

[scenic mountain]

what is the name of the 10 and 17 challenges on the code?

[wraith seal]

true~1

[rare shell]

the process

[humble rampart]

good fucking god

[frigid mica]

Does this work with internal value manipulation (Hologram) or external value manipulation (Tropical Smoothie)

[wraith seal]

looks absolutely amazing

[humble rampart]

yeah that checks out

[wraith seal]

it checks for changes in all values in card.ability

[humble rampart]

no flat chips tho

its balanced

👍

chicot vs 5 "card"

[frigid mica]

I’ll get to modding in Susie when I’m done eating cereal

[harsh glacier]

bepis

[deft ore]

suit levelups are crazy

[frigid mica]

Watch out brah

[wraith seal]

haya

[deft ore]

thac suit levelups coming to balatro in 1.1

[ivory sinew]

What about RANK level ups

[sleek granite]

[humble rampart]

retrigger hand once for each time it's been leveled up

[deft ore]

i dont want to intrude on thac

nvm this is funny as hell

[sleek granite]

theres already entropy suit levels too

if you have entropy and thac there's an oddity that works with both

[frigid mica]

My screenshot won’t load 🥀

[humble rampart]

level up flush per spade scored

[frigid mica]

This fucking image won’t load

[humble rampart]

rise of the 50 minute hand

[deft ore]

chat whats the optimal blahaj placement here

[humble rampart]

in between arms for hug

[wraith seal]

1. make the text bigger
2. reduce minh of the box

is this a good solution btw

[sleek granite]

also this joker

[dense egret]

too much height i think

[wraith seal]

thats why i said i gotta reduce minh

aka min height

[humble rampart]

could probably make the whole first box one line at this point

[dense egret]

it was to be words?

imo something like "-•-•-•-•-" would fit

[sleek granite]

you seem to be under the impression balatro's font has characters in it

[humble rampart]

dont it

[wraith seal]

id need to download other fonts, yeah

[dense egret]

yea the m6x11plus

[sleek granite]

roaring who?

[tender atlas]

I did do a few of this sort. Like Lonely Joker, which gives +25 chips if the scoring hand is high card. ( Can't do "contains" because every hand does. ) But vanilla covers most niches of the sort.

[torn urchin]

Great synergy with Teto

[sleek granite]

.... is it?

[torn urchin]

Yeah

All the tetos are heart gimmicks

[sleek granite]

i thought teto archetype was Pair

[torn urchin]

Also that

It's Pairs, Hearts, and 4s

[sleek granite]

my archetypes are Hearts, the concept of the number 3, and emptiness

[humble rampart]

just gotta look for niches i guess

[deft ore]

rip my run (took the ticket on ante 8)

[tender atlas]

Yeah. That's the point. It's supposed to be a really crappy common. I don't want my mod to just stuff the game with OP BS. It's there, don't get me wrong, but I want to balance it out with some ante 1 crap and a few cards that are just for the funny.

[sleek granite]

for the funny :3

[deft ore]

i'd send nft joker but i have psi disabled rn

[rare shell]

WE'RE GETTING THERE CHAT

[sleek granite]

talisman requirement...... 😔

psi thac crossmod never

[deft ore]

talisman optional

i've learned the error of my ways

[humble rampart]

honestly the main thing i see ppl doing when making jimbos is just thinking of an effect and comparing to vanilla jokers with similar effect

except mail in rebate

mail in rebate op

[tender atlas]

I mean. I use high card more than any other hand. Some runs, I use it almost exclusively. I'd rather this over straight chips joker.

[frigid mica]

So it levels up any played hand but changes poker hand when the specific hand is played? Or it randomizes hands it levels up, like you have to play a high card to level up high card?

[humble rampart]

tells you a hand to play, when you play the hand it levels it up, and then it picks another random hand after you play it

[deft ore]

what happens if i use him

[humble rampart]

basically just to do list but for planets

[sleek granite]

thac's commons are great

[sleek granite]

:3

[deft ore]

you've enticed me ill try it

also its ante 1 so i dont really care

[frigid mica]

He’ll use his true power

[deft ore]

okay that was pretty good

[humble rampart]

does it just delete your steam account or something

[sleek granite]

he laughs at you for freeing him from your consumable slots

[humble rampart]

ah

[frigid mica]

Iirc, if you play a hand, the joker tarot gives 4000 mult over time

[humble rampart]

unironically my fav jokers to make are uncommons

[torn urchin]

How do you do the traits

[frigid mica]

Why

[sleek granite]

that's a 1/100000 chance (no probability modifiers apply)

[frigid mica]

Not even oops all 6s

[humble rampart]

i dont have to come up with a run-changing effect like rares and i dont have to make a boring one-size-fits-most effect like commons

[sleek granite]

the yugioh types? theyre part of my joyousspring crossmod

[humble rampart]

except this guy he was pretty fun to come up with

[sleek granite]

what would you do for +1 Joker Slot

[frigid mica]

I’m gonna be making this rare joker now. (Ignore context.before, it’s context.individual now.)

[humble rampart]

😟

[frigid mica]

What?

[humble rampart]

not even triboulet keeps up

damn

[frigid mica]

It’s a Busted Buffoon.

[humble rampart]

oh fair

[frigid mica]

I make Busted Buffoons

True Hyper Astro? Epilepsy Warning??

[humble rampart]

15 jokers is enough right

[sleek granite]

[wraith seal]

[humble rampart]

[wraith seal]

[sleek granite]

[wraith seal]

:3

[deft ore]

moons it is

[humble rampart]

moons

[frigid mica]

Club flush 💔

[rare shell]

alhamdulillah it is finished

[frigid mica]

Sans will be in love

[humble rampart]

clubs deserve it

[sleek granite]

also i actually tested the colour card and holy shit negative placeholder joker

[frigid mica]

Sans is a “Fantastic” joker that gains xchips and xmult per played club card. (Resets via prestige system)

[humble rampart]

hard

negative joker posting

[sleek granite]

i still have effects for my own actual mod to implement for colour cards

its just hard to come up with

a new color

[humble rampart]

holy shit they're uglier than the source material

[rare shell]

new color card

olo

[sleek granite]

oh yeah

[frigid mica]

I’m planning to use my old spinel sprite again, I’m turning her into a secret joker called Nostalgic Spinel.

[rare shell]

this individual does not know

[humble rampart]

nice

[exotic belfry]

hello modding chat

[humble rampart]

[frigid mica]

[hard plank]

thanks

[rare shell]

i lied i need to tweak the sprite more

autumn you should put this in the circus :)

[exotic belfry]

More lyman art

[deft folio]

i made art for a blueprint deck but idk what to make it do

[jaunty galleon]

cool mod @hard plank

[hard plank]

sorry

my bad for making bad mod

😔

[frigid mica]

Effects of every single joker in deck are either copied or retriggered.

[torn urchin]

Me frr

[humble rampart]

every joker is blue

[deft folio]

thats wayyy to op

[deft folio]

just like in color?

[humble rampart]

yeah

[frigid mica]

Well that’s what blueprint does, right?

[deft folio]

this isnt supposed to be too op

your right

but thats not the point

[frigid mica]

Ok, a random joker gets retriggered then.

[deft folio]

oh

thats good

[rare shell]

ok now its done for real this time

[humble rampart]

incredible

[rare shell]

never lose jope

[frigid mica]

I wanna ask first

[rare shell]

im gonna eat my chicken, then go die in the factory

[humble rampart]

"Hey beast boy! What's 2+2?"

[frigid mica]

How do I make it so that the joker in question only shows up when you have PSI too?

[deft folio]

what deck would be the easiest to copy and recode that function

[exotic belfry]

Lyman your art feeds my soul

[humble rampart]

i think none of them

you gotta go to no man's land im pretty sure

[deft folio]

ohh

[frigid mica]

I believe paperback a deck for that.

I think it’s called deck deck deck

[deft folio]

im gonna stich the red seal and crimson heart code together

[frigid mica]

Yeah but you can just snatch the code

And then modify it a bit

[deft folio]

wth is deck deck deck

[wide mulch]

hello modding chatr

[frigid mica]

It’s guaranteed to hit but it’ll hit a random joker present in deck.

[rare shell]

until next time younguns

[frigid mica]

I don’t remember completely but it’s a deck that retriggers all cards for every joker in deck

[exotic belfry]

Off he goes into the sunset once more

[humble rampart]

well i have plans for tomorrow now

[frigid mica]

If you have two jokers, a card will be retriggered two times

[frigid mica]

Brah… 🥀

[wide mulch]

tried to make a venom joker to practice learning pixel art are you guys fucking with it

goodm

[frigid mica]

WHAT

[wide mulch]

orning

[frigid mica]

WAIT

WHAT SLEEVE IS THAT??

[sleek granite]

[humble rampart]

awesome lesbian couple
evil and intimidating clown

[jaunty galleon]

[wide mulch]

[frigid mica]

Oh.

Wait

[humble rampart]

reroll 4 times and click next shop

save money

[jaunty galleon]

adequate balancing btw

[wraith seal]

man what the fuck is going on

[deft folio]

could i just replace this with retrigger?

[frigid mica]

I thought it was the sleeve that was multing fuck

[wraith seal]

i tried changing minh to 0, padding to 0, the box is still too high

[dense egret]

minh -2 then?

[wraith seal]

i dont think minh is even doing anything here

[frigid mica]

Wait, what is Stacked about?

Is that why it was multing

[jaunty galleon]

aikoshen on adequate is...NUMBERSLOP???

[dreamy abyss]

aikoshen if it was awesome

[deft folio]

why does crimson heart have to be the longest code

[exotic belfry]

[deft folio]

idk where to start

[frigid mica]

Peam but you probably wanna change those symbiotic lines to be thicker

I woke up in a new bugatti

[humble rampart]

func.random.joker didnt exist in ancient times

[deft folio]

is that a real function

[humble rampart]

probably not

[deft folio]

dam

[hard plank]

😭

are you doing the ^2 money

im also working on like

word library to extract shit

[exotic belfry]

THEY HIT IT AGAIN

LMAOOOOOO

[jaunty galleon]

it's numberslop...

[deft folio]

with the cavendish you just win

[humble rampart]

cavendish carrying tihs yeah

[deft folio]

i want to add a joker called dakota that synergizes with cavendish

[woeful temple]

any more mods like upgrade cards?

[deft folio]

if anyone gets that reference can we be friends

[frosty spruce]

i need some help with a error for Cryptid Mod

[tender atlas]

I think I've seen that art before, but I don't get the reference.

[wind token]

fighting the urge /j

[frigid mica]

One day

I will

Umm

Make a mod

[wind token]

i hate that guy

[frigid mica]

And it will involve a team

We will be making banana jokers

[humble rampart]

roster complete

[tender atlas]

Idk, I live out in the woods, I'm some kinda swamp cryptid. Your human society is something I learn about slowly and randomly.

[humble rampart]

yeahh probably not

[frigid mica]

I don’t like it when I take myself seriously with these promises

[humble rampart]

i think a pixel being changed needs more than one bit to be switched

[frigid mica]

Do you wear a golden talisman on you too?

[deft folio]

so i think i have a script that would retrigger a random joker

but would i put that in the main file or the deck file

[tender atlas]

No, I'm a poor cryptid.

[deft folio]

thats a good idea

[deft folio]

but thats kinda more complex then just retriggering a random one

[deft folio]

could be easier to make tho

[woven orchid]

afternoon modding chat

[tender atlas]

In the most technical sense for bitmap images that don't use error correction, a single bit flip would indeed change a pixel. If it's an indexed palette, it might even be a noticeable chage.

[deft folio]

so you could play around it'

[tender atlas]

Evening

I would if I hadn't gotten fat.

[deft folio]

i cant even figure out how to select the random joker yet

[deft folio]

baby steps here

[dense egret]

idk, WoF?

[deft folio]

what

[frosty spruce]

does Cryptid mod still have a discord?

[dense egret]

anhk, wof and hex choose a random card

sorry

[deft folio]

still dont know what wof is

fortuna is literally "fortune" in spanish

what a coincidence

[orchid flicker]

does anyone know where to get this mod? https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Smol's_Jokers I can't seem to find it

[tender atlas]

Coincidence? I mean. The spanish word comes from the same Latin.

[dense egret]

yea is not tooo rare, but still

[tender atlas]

Ghost Deck's chill

[dense egret]

and english is far away than other languages, like spanish with portuguese

[humble rampart]

argentina gang

[orchid flicker]

argentina gang

[tender atlas]

True, but thanks to French, we're less far away than we should be.

[dense egret]

uh i dont know that part of the history

[zenith meadow]

What mods that allow stacking consumables are compatible with cryptid?

[dense egret]

@orchid flicker i cant find anything

[dense egret]

uh, all

[orchid flicker]

yeah maybe they deleted it

[dense egret]

which one you have?

[orchid flicker]

thx for searching tho

[dense egret]

now that you mentioned, i see that mod a long time ago

How did you find it?

[orchid flicker]

viendo la wiki de mods je

[dense egret]

medio bastante raro para ser sincero

[tender atlas]

Well the Franks got Romanized by Gallo-Romans and then they Frenchified some Vikings after they rowed up the Seine and launched a naval invasion of Paris. Then later those French Vikings then took advantage of a will and took over England. The end result is English gained some really weird Latin.

[wind token]

guys, dont ask who joe is

[humble rampart]

who the hell is steve jobs?

[wind token]

ligma balls

[dense egret]

oh i totally miss that part, but makes sense tbh

[tender atlas]

Yeah, if it's not part of your history, it's easy to not know. I don't know how many English know it either. It's a little funny to me that after 1500 years of boat people invading, Britain invaded everyone by boat.

[humble rampart]

how else were they gonna get places

swim?

[tender atlas]

Not a lot of people know that the Irish used to be pirates on the same scale as the Vikings.

[tender atlas]

I FINALLY MANAGED TO REDUCE THE HEIGHT OF THE BOX, HOLY SHIT

god im so tired

turned out i had to hook to desc_from_rows

i thought it was SMODS.localize_box that i had to change but guess not

[sleek granite]

stacked is awesome now....

[wraith seal]

maybe i can use E:1 for this

[random storm]

blame @teal sky

[sleek granite]

[sleek granite]

i might recommend X1.5 per trigger

still nuts

but it doesnt annihilate the game immediately

[sleek granite]

hold the power button on your computer to identify the problem on your screen

[wraith seal]

actually i think i should put it below the Extra Effects line

or not

the bottom is where the "use scroll wheel to turn pages" appears hm

[sleek granite]

wait no cuz it triggers normally and retriggers because of itself so its X256 at X2 per trigger and X25.62890625 at X1.5 per trigger

funny how that works out

[harsh glacier]

I dunno if my mod's going to have that problem lmao

But considering a few of these jokers I have so far is directly based on a singular game that some know of, I dunno if people are gunna get them

so hopefully it'll be fun to play even disregarding that

[tender atlas]

Ozymandias - Uncommon - Retrigger the last hand of the round three times, then destroy all cards scored and this card.

Is this too OP?

I like references but usually i tr

y to keep them non-direct

[tender atlas]

That is the derpiest rendition of Susie I've seen to date. I like it very much.

[wraith seal]

i considered making this but for chips too, then i realized how much chips jokers tend to give

so its usually pretty hard to balance around it

i think i ran out of effect ideas now 3:

[storm forum]

Whilst Talisman was the reason for me to mod Balatro, me wanting to put Windows into games occured before.

[astral vapor]

well what references are they

@storm forum i might like em

i just didnt like the hollywood-ness of kino

[harsh glacier]

ess arr bee two ,,,,,

[astral vapor]

SONIC ROBO BLAST TWOOOOOOO

[storm forum]

Big chunk of the mod is literally Jokers referencing retro Windows in content and theme ... and there are versions of Windows as actual Jokers. The rest is a mix of stuff.

[astral vapor]

well, i dont know what mod is causing this so why not remove them all and start from scratch

[astral vapor]

GIMME

I AM A SUCKER FOR THAT SHIT

[torn urchin]

Imma kms

[storm forum]

Direct.

[hoary shadow]

im looking at the wiki simply out of curiosity and this is so fucking specific im laughing lmao

[astral vapor]

god i love you ali

this mod is peak

[storm forum]

This is specific too.

[astral vapor]

please tell me there's a reference to pipe screensaver

[astral vapor]

HAHAHA

I LOVE THIS MOD

[hoary shadow]

I wonder if I can come up with super specific ass interactions with my mod as well lmao

[storm forum]

3D Pipes is not referenced yet.

[hoary shadow]

The Boiler I feel could be my gateway to super specific interactions

Like the point of the thing was to give some Jokers extra abilities when steam-powered, so maybe those abilities could be very specific but very stronk at the same time

[harsh glacier]

speaking of which i probably need to go back to modding ring racers at some point

but too lazy

[storm forum]

You're pretty much in same boat as #⚙・modding-general message and such.

[torn urchin]

Idk what I'm doing

[hoary shadow]

The hard part is coming up with abilities that warrants you wanting to sacrifice a Joker slot for effectively a stronger Joker

The thing's already somewhat flexible in that you don't have to be specific about what slot to sacrifice, but it's gotta do something more

For example in that demostration vid I did, the Furnace Joker is meant to be a bad Joker on its own due to it only drawing Red-bordered cards with awful benefits, but I plan eventually to add the Furnace ability, so when it's powered, then all Red-bordered cards held in hand gives +x mult

Does that make sense?

[storm forum]

Somewhat?

how do i fix

#⚙・modding-general message

[storm forum]

...yeah, best not to have Yahimod with Talisman at all.

we'er sillying

ignore the sprite i set the wrong placeholder pos and dont really care

[astral vapor]

even if cryptid depends on it?

basically cryptid and yahimod are incompatible?

doin good, ive been able to do everything i want to implement for my mod today

[exotic belfry]

This cat is catting

[astral vapor]

could you link me to that

[mortal pivot]

(yawn) good morning

[torn urchin]

Hell yeah

I need to play Stacked later

[torn urchin]

Morning

[astral vapor]

can you teach me how to do balatro modding

[torn urchin]

Nah

Balatro starter pack

[astral vapor]

because despite my efforts, lua sucks balls

[wraith seal]

if you are talking about personal tutoring then sorry, though if you have trouble anywhere feel free to ask me though :3

[torn urchin]

Mhm mhm

[woven orchid]

you just got linked to a resource
ask questions when they arise but otherwise you will probably learn the most trying it on your own

[wraith seal]

its like, the easiest language for starters...

[woven orchid]

my only issue with lua is no [operator]=

[astral vapor]

not me learning brainfuck...

[wraith seal]

sob

[woven orchid]

i want to do card.ability.extra.blsbalblaba += card.ability.extra.blablablabainc

i hate x = x + y

[wraith seal]

SAME

i was used to roblox's luau so that was annoying

[woven orchid]

tbh i might make an AHK script that writes it for me

i already have one for card.ability.extra
all i have to write is 'cae

[astral vapor]

doing the art for balatro mods = YIPPEE!
actually coding = kill me

[torn urchin]

If only

[wraith seal]

its the reverse for most modders actually

sob

[woven orchid]

real

[exotic belfry]

Real shit

[woven orchid]

literally the only part of the process i can't do is art

[torn urchin]

For me it's
Art = kill me
Coding = kill me

[woven orchid]

i can even do shaders as long as im willing to dump a few hours into it

but like art., no

[wraith seal]

the MAIN* reason why i like coding stacked is because i dont need to care about making new cards

[storm forum]

-# Free pain wherever you go!

[torn urchin]

I'm the in-between

[wraith seal]

(aka NO art required!)

[woven orchid]

i kind of wanted to try some art for my new mirrored enhancement but i realize glass is complicated and shiny

[torn urchin]

The best part is I suck at both

So that's fun

[woven orchid]

i might at least try and see if its ok

[hoary shadow]

meanwhile im over here being like

-# wtf do i add next

[wraith seal]

yeah its, pretty hard to replicate glass-like materials for me

[wraith seal]

anything you like

what is your mod about

[torn urchin]

Real shit

Did you know your name is on the ceiling

[wraith seal]

though im also running out of ideas for stacked, actually

can someone give me some :3

[hoary shadow]

yeah like

my mod ultimately is going to be a random bunch of shit, but right now it's hard-focusing on adding shit based on the Blue Prince because I liked the idea of the game's room-based synergy lol

[wraith seal]

i need like, 1-2 more before releasing v1.0.4

[torn urchin]

Hi Something

How are you

[wraith seal]

oooh shit i love blue prince

i spent over half a day watching someone playing blue prince lmao

[woven orchid]

do you have any yes/no ones? (as in, the effect is just there, no potency diff)

if so i have one idea for you

[wraith seal]

yeah

[torn urchin]

1 for good and 2 for meh and 3 for bad

[hoary shadow]

#1399642476565757962 message :D

[torn urchin]

Or 4 for something else

[woven orchid]

what about one that doesnt count towards the pool (like showman for a single joker)

[wraith seal]

oh, good idea

[torn urchin]

That's good to hear

[woven orchid]

i really just want to torment you with joker pools

tbh,

[torn urchin]

That's like my mod name

Incognito

[wraith seal]

:3

why

[woven orchid]

funny

[torn urchin]

Guess I gotta change it

[wraith seal]

cant possibly be that bad

[woven orchid]

it really isnt but i dont like it

[hoary shadow]

lol

I only went with Infcognan is because of the fact that I literally have no clue what's the final goal of the mod so

infinite shit with nothing in mind

[wraith seal]

im pretty sure i just need to, hook to here

🤔

[woven orchid]

wait wtf?

[hoary shadow]

the blue prince is just one of these things I'm hard focusing on

[torn urchin]

Understandable

It's my oc name so

That's why

[woven orchid]

thats fun actually

[torn urchin]

It use to be Nic Bullshit

[woven orchid]

i didnt know that was a thing
i thought the showman one was just for showman overall

[wraith seal]

oh yeah, i think its also there for anyone who wants to replicate its effect easily too

[torn urchin]

Showman

[woven orchid]

i am familiar with the four fingers one

[torn urchin]

Wait is this in vanillaremade or

[woven orchid]

because i have a card in valk which is 3 fingers basically

[wraith seal]

i havent seen a joker using wrap_around_straight yet now that i think about it 🤔

[wraith seal]

implemented in smods

[torn urchin]

Makes sense

I love documents

[woven orchid]

do you gfuys see why i dont do art now

ive made about 3 sprites for valk and all of them are just edits because i can edit an existing thing but i cannot make a unique good thing

[wraith seal]

most of my art are based on existing references

[mortal pivot]

thats my problem too

[wraith seal]

i dont think i can draw well if i have to come up with what i want to draw myself....

[torn urchin]

My art

[woven orchid]

ive made

one piece of art i am proud of before

[torn urchin]

Same

[woven orchid]

and it is one that im probably not going to post here

[torn urchin]

I just have a reference image and I yolo with it

[tender atlas]

Someone said "starter pack" and it got me thinking: If there were booster packs that contained only common jokers, would you open them?

[woven orchid]

only if it was like

5 options 1 choice

[torn urchin]

I would

If it was 5 options 1 choice

[woven orchid]

half of commons will not contribute well to your run so itd be nice to have a lot of options if theyre all guaranteed to be common

[wraith seal]

what lily and incog said, yeah

[tender atlas]

Would you open it if it was 3 options, 1 choice, $2?

[torn urchin]

Ig Cavendish after Gros Michel

[woven orchid]

depends on how earlygame it is
if it's past ante 2 absolutely not

[wraith seal]

eh, id prefer the normal joker pack more

[woven orchid]

^

normal joker pack would just objectively be better since uncommons can actually spawn in them

[torn urchin]

Guess that's the point of a starter pack

[woven orchid]

if it was like $4 and 5 options 1 choice i think it would be very good for starting off a run while not being too op

[torn urchin]

Yeah

The only picks that I would be interested would be hanging chad or Cavendish

Basic options

Or get econ jokers like mail

[woven orchid]

is aedition something or did someone in cryptid misspell it and literally nobody noticed

if its a misspelling thats actually really fnuny

[hard plank]

ok guyse

i will have to use ubol

i will keep note of that

[woven orchid]

what

ok then,

it worked when i just left the directory and then tried again

[tender atlas]

Right, right. Basically what Pearto said. What I might do then is make it so they don't show up after Ante 2 unless you have <=$4.

[woven orchid]

good call probably

i love in_pool shenanigans

[tender atlas]

Lol

[woven orchid]

"oh wow this card showed up just when i needed it!"
wonder why..,

[tender atlas]

It'll be my first time messing with it

[wraith seal]

its always nice to manipulate in_pool a bit to have things going in the player's favor more :3

hello ak47

Ohhhhh yeah that makes sense

[astral vapor]

does anyone offer 1-on-1 tutoring for balatro modding

[tardy sigil]

Put it back

[tardy sigil]

what are you planning on making

[astral vapor]

you know ivy?

[woven orchid]

i do

[mortal pivot]

: / im suck at drawing

[torn urchin]

Okay funny wizard man

[tardy sigil]

I've offered this out to other people but if you need joker art feel free to hit me up (as long as you have the ideas)

[astral vapor]

nice

[wraith seal]

there we go, thanks lily :3

[woven orchid]

meow meow

[tender atlas]

Oh shit, fr? How do I credit you? I got like 30+ jokers with placeholder art.

[tardy sigil]

Uhhh my YouTube handle I guess

[astral vapor]

pls teach me how to mod balatro

like how to make mods

i just wanna add jokers

[hard plank]

😭

[wraith seal]

i like making all the functionalities of my effects into functions so other mods can replicate easier :3

[tardy sigil]

Feel free to have a look in #💻・modding-dev the people there are very helpful!!!!

[woven orchid]

youre free to ping me with direct questions on how to do something specific but i'd like not to do personal tutoring for the sake of my own time

[tender atlas]

Cool. What kind of jokers do you want to make art for?

[wraith seal]

coding a balala mod is not as scary as you think

[tardy sigil]

Well anything really, if you search for messages I've sent with pictures you should see all the ones I've done

[hard plank]

i don't know if i should do this

[tardy sigil]

I second this! I picked it up in like a couple of days

[tender atlas]

Bet. Could you start by drawing a cranky bear's head? I'm making a counterpart for bull, but with debt.

[tardy sigil]

Alright I'll give it a shot

[astral vapor]

u sure?

[wraith seal]

idk im new at modding, pretty sure though

[tardy sigil]

As long as your ideas aren't completely mental you should be fine

[wraith seal]

ok but on a serious note, its really easy if you are just doing simple stuff like adding jokers

and if you arent making mods like mine 3:

[astral vapor]

yeah smth like what yahimod does

add a bunch of silly jokers with custom sfx

[wraith seal]

mm you would need to dig more into love2d functions if you want to do shenanigans like yahimod

but it still shouldnt be too hard, though

[tardy sigil]

Yeah that'll be simple enough

[wraith seal]

the documentation should be easy to understand, as long as you understand lua first

[tardy sigil]

Or programming in general

[wraith seal]

mhm

though if you are used to other languages, shit like index starting at 1, no += is gonna catch you lacking :3

[tardy sigil]

Oh it does start indexing at 1 ok. I wonder why the atlas doesn't

[wraith seal]

lmao

[tardy sigil]

I thought I was going crazy having to start at 1

[wraith seal]

i think stacked v1.0.4 should be ready now

[tender atlas]

For context, these are my art skills, lmao

[tardy sigil]

I have seen worse

[mortal pivot]

a new problem: persian alphabet is 32 and english is 26 i think

[tender atlas]

Same, but it's still not good, lol

[tender atlas]

Use Akkadian Cuneiform like the golden age of Persia. :p

[wraith seal]

time to consult the ceo of aikoyori alphabetnigans

[tardy sigil]

Yknow the thing that makes me sad is the amount of balatro mods I've seen that use AI art

[wraith seal]

what

i havent known of any mods that use ai art yet 🤔

-# asides from the deckskin ones, but they are stupidly easy to make so yeah

[tardy sigil]

There's a few and they're pretty small mods but it's very obvious ai stuff

[wraith seal]

id rather forever use placeholder art than relying on ai

[mortal pivot]

i've to patch her mod a lot😭 its just art

[mortal pivot]

my first mod : /

(not this)

[wraith seal]

well, at least your future mods dont use ai art i suppose

[mortal pivot]

in that mod i used ai art two times and its harder than drawing one yourself

[torn urchin]

Boo ai art 👎

[dreamy abyss]

i dont use ai art because no computer could ever match my level of cringe

[wraith seal]

valid

[mortal pivot]

ai cant generate my ideas

Customers are working my nerves tonight

[torn urchin]

Oh god

how to have multiple saves

i want one for modded

[mortal pivot]

u cant (or idk)

[unkempt relic]

can i atleast backup my save

that should be all shrug

it's not

it targets you

oh oops just saw a crash with a stacked's effect

[wraith seal]

so r some of the boss blinds, honestly

like the suit ones

[hoary shadow]

tbh it's funny that the plant is the only one to have an emoji in of itself

speaks volumes on the plant's position

[wraith seal]

if you are only building towards one specific playstyle then you should be prepared for being hard-countered :3

[mortal pivot]

fa qaf(arabic), fe qe(farsi) im making it on aikoshen eng letters so order is reverse

[unkempt relic]

No

the plant is bad

[tender atlas]

Plant is not even one of the hard boss blinds tbh

[wraith seal]

violet vessel...

[tender atlas]

Flint and Eye are worse and if it's early enough, so is Manacle.

Even Mouth is usually worsr than Plant.

[wraith seal]

ive lost many of my gold stake runs to violet vessel before so it has a special place in my heart :3 (in a bad way)

[torn urchin]

Get gud

[torn urchin]

Nothing wrong with Violet

[tender atlas]

Also, I forgot about it, but Needle is much worse than Plant.

[wraith seal]

3:

i suffer from heavy skill issue

[tender atlas]

Just score a lot of points, ezpz

[wraith seal]

like, for other boss blinds you kinda just have to overcome their gimmicks

violet is just straight up a score check

blegh

[torn urchin]

Just bring chicot

[hard plank]

hi

[tender atlas]

Yeah, I gotta sticker it sometime. I already gold stickered Magic Deck. This run tried not to start at first because I couldn't get any jokers in the shop, but after it did get going it was a dull but smooth ride to ante 8.

[granite smelt]

hello :D

[tender atlas]

Zodiac is overrated, but it's not bad and don't hate it.

[hard plank]

btw icon

[tender atlas]

People say it's more consistent and ig if you play every single run instead of rerolling for the right start mebbe it is.

But not by much.

[wraith seal]

guh

oh have i not, credited your icon in the previous versions

bleh

a second

[mortal pivot]

(phew) farsi dont have caps

[tender atlas]

They also underestimate the econ value of two starting tarots. And the whole time I was playing Zodiac I felt constrained because of the lack of my third consumable slot.

[hard plank]

why are you reversing everything

i know rtl

[tender atlas]

It sucked real bad having to half-wield Emperor and Priestess

[hard plank]

but the checkmark

[mortal pivot]

cause farsi is rtl

؟

[hard plank]

the check mark...

[mortal pivot]

oh... mb

check mark isnt 😁

[hard plank]

at least make it normal and shift it to the right

oh btw you're gonna have to do it again because I'm rewriting word mechanics

[mortal pivot]

ik and because of it i coded nothing

[mortal pivot]

i'll

[hard plank]

@woven orchid do you have any special request for the new word thingies

[granite smelt]

the b, c, t, and ts could be a little bit more rounded since the rest kinda follows the standardized Naskh script

but I'm talking about Arabic and you're talking about Farsi and I personally don't know the difference

or if difference matters at all

[hard plank]

I'm adding word categories

like : noun, verb, plurals etc

archaic

[woven orchid]

nothing in specific really

[hard plank]

stuff like that

so i can do cooler things with it

and also changing it to a trie

alongside decoupling it from the mod

[mortal pivot]

you're right i know what youre saying i'll edit them and c? س or پ ت ث ب

[granite smelt]

پ

[mortal pivot]

ok thank you

[granite smelt]

my bad it's a p

[hard plank]

also adding per run word table

[mortal pivot]

ث

[woven orchid]

ya that’s most of what i’m interested in

[unkempt relic]

what is this

[mortal pivot]

abjad writing system is confusing

[mortal pivot]

persian type of aikoshen's alphabets

[mortal pivot]

u just move a dot and its a new word! ط ظ etc.

[granite smelt]

I learned Arabic since I was a kid, but I'm not too familiar with Farsi

[mortal pivot]

me too because of islam religion in iran you've to learn it

like مطبخ(arabic kitchen) and آشپزخانه (farsi form of it)

[tardy sigil]

You have to? God I would suck at that

[mortal pivot]

arabic for persian ppl is like eu languages for english ppl

you can read but u dont understand

[granite smelt]

if you learned it from younger years it wouldn't suck too much

I'm raised in Indonesia so I know like three scripts lol
Modern Alphabet, Arabic, and Javanese

[tardy sigil]

I guess so, even then I've never been particularly good with language

[granite smelt]

plus Russian and Japanese I learned in my teenage years

[mortal pivot]

im learning japanese i know some arabic my primary is farsi and my secondary is english

i know just like: اهلا و سهلا کیف حالک؟

[granite smelt]

I only learned how to read, not how to understand lol so I wouldn't be able to properly communicate

[mortal pivot]

we have to learn some vocab and grammar but we don't like to be forced
