so just wanted a Joker to relate to
its just kinda unique
this had better be farenheit ;u;
ok i asked fellow devs for a solution
what do yall think
sorry guys, i fixed him but the surgery didn't go well
Whoopsie
am a bit of a quack 🦆
I have 4 ducks
🚫
Heh, great minds think alike lol
now what if vertical
i added a chicken
that lays negative eggs
yeah imma work on balatrue later
srry
what?
scammed
dunno
you have Phanta's Starter Packs enabled
balance reasons ^^
^^;
it should say, true
HEHEHEHEHE
infinite loop >:3
this is a good example of what a cat looks like
most cat cat
another good example
real!
waiter waiter! theres no drama in my modding chat
grrrrrrrr i hate everyoneeeeee >:(
quick, someone bring up wording
ping victin >:3
Wording
yaaaaaaaaaaaa i told u i needed to fix that :3c
blah blah blah xchips blah blah blah
i ship mult and chips
smut and ships
real!!!!!!
@dusty token @woven crag just wanted to let you both know i got it working again, turns out DebugPlusPlus was the problem
DebugPlus works fine
do not bring his ass in here
its specifically DebugPlusPlus lol
cool
you should report the bug in dpp forum
a minor typo is his batsignal

hi gamers
i'm gonna guess that galactic jokers are over powered
oaugh god i hate creating new consumable sets cause it means im gonna have to think of a new primary concept to base it around
oh thats fun
an actual creative op joker idea???
WITCH!!!!
yeah thats very creative
yeah
i like it
i like it yeah
this is the third time im reworking the runic card set because like i cannot get it down
❌
coward
should i just make my own custom pantheon of gods????
cause like basing it off of other religions feels too cultural appropriate-y
gods of balatro
based on aspects of the game
god of hand levels (cyan)
god of money (yellow)
god of chips (blue)
god of mult (red)
god of probabilities (green)
chult
these are the five gods of balatro
god of man (jokers)
absolut e radiance
Orbit, Cashut, Stakk, Thymes, Chanz
|e°|
why is there a degrees sign
radiance
idk what the radians sign is
radiance explicitly isnt degrees though
i know
thats like the whole point
this is the explanation
ok so its the closest I could get
because half the point is having a measurement of angles that doesnt have a unit like degrees
also radians are more epic
why????
its either nothing or rad i think
like 2pi rad or just 2pi
lemme chekc
radians are awesome
because you dont use units in mathematics typically
radians are considered default because many calculations are built with them so using degrees is a pain in the ass if you aren't just using calculator functions
my elementary school teacher made me provide units for nothing then 😭
john "divide by 180" degree
answer: it is nothing or rad
its already talismanless smh
so one full rotation would be 1 rad?
i mean elementary school is different usually
or something like that
we're pying it
oh ok
emult is shrimple even without talisman
alright sure why the hell not
no estuff is more of a balance thing i think
kid named [copying] cryptlib
except family feud apparently
I cant be payed to give a shit anymore math makes no sense
though like you probably shouldn't
due to e limit
(so that also means that talisman stuff should be off if talisman ain't set to 'omeganum')
its because 1 radian is equivalent to the angle after moving a distance of 1 along the circumfrence of a circle with a radius of 1
and a full circle with a radius of 1 has a circumfrence of 2pi
((they killed bignum if you didn't know))
so 2pi radians
why isnt there a measurement where 1 rotation is just 1 smh
there could be NO issues with that
NONE
NADA
If anyone here is in the Balatro multiplayer discord, could you please send me an invite? I’ve been trying to join for over two weeks, but I keep getting a message saying my account is suspicious
yea like that but I made it
radians if they were divided by 2pi:
you are NOT john revolution
sending you an invite wouldnt change that
rotation invented in 2025 ahh
its probably because of how new your account is
account isnt old enough
probably abt a month
im inventing a new unit the half-revolution
one revolution is 2 half-revolutions
this is pi-ist propaganda
the humble pi:
tau for the win
lies
dog
why do you have a yellow lided storage bin
christmas
those are for the garage
the decorations escape around this time of year
don't
ok
this is just called the number of rotations
I love debug silent crashes 
Do
ok
ive found the victim
this is bad for my first mashup but yall see the vision right
Can you choose someone else 🙏
no they made a dad joke
i like the mongolian throat singing
the songs are opportunities by bet shop boys and turn a turn by the turn a gundam people
hehehehehe :3
thats pitching up but yeah your right
dog
this should be in the thread but i don't care
so you know how cryptid has the three gamesets where the game get easier with higher gamesets
what if pandora's box's (cryptid ortalab's) gamesets make the game harder

yo yeah uhhhh
guys should i put the original in my mod
i can't think of something that starts with w for the 'modest' gameset lmao
wodest
well-done
real and neo!!
nice
though i'm not using it because i thought of a better idea for the gamesets that involves not following w
gamesets become 'Judgements'
and each of the judgements have upsides and downsides
@fair thistle i like you so i want to see what you think
numbers!!
true and neo!!
also they will be per run
because why not
i want to make sure people know about them and try them
you get that Judgement pack when you start a run
oops
oops! all wins!
for some reason the game actually doesn't let me win lmao
i kinda had to cheat with debugplus
talisman
ah of course
negative 2
YAY
this thing is so busted
okie
shop slot scaling joker would go decent
as in it scales based on the slots
not scaling the slots
aww man
what if shop slots were one operator higher and they scaled
you do not want 1000 shop slots
^^^2 shop slots

the humble maurice moss:
who do you think you are changing my logo
there better be a config to turn it off
phew
and i can turn off joker animations hm
i like mods with custom logos
not a config i would've asked for but i like it in retrospect
wha
more stakes
hm
hm
you should install my mod too
candy
play my mod
no
😠
pls ?
me too
not arguably
all of these decks just for canary yellow to be the only good one
it can certainly be argued about
stormcaught my goat
nvm mean green
the A
i'd argue there's also the totally balanced and not broken Trickster Deck too 😇
n
theres two ns though
it would be very obvious if i only changed one
yeah just do all 3
three????
kitty
canary yellow deck hm
oh ya @granite forum i'd like to say, please criticise my mod if you have any issues with it ^^
feedback is awesome and i will thank you for it
oh hehe btw fun fact about Canary Yellow Deck, it's the only way to bring a Mail-In Rebate into Phanta White Stake :3

please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
please hes asking so nicely
its called love2d for a reason
do these (non-tag) objects look better with more rounded or less rounded corners?
implement a 3d renderer easy
easy
less rounded
https://github.com/3dreamengine/3DreamEngine mayhaps this?
more distinct from tags
Wrong! all 3d games are 2d
h
god this is so peak
wasnt there a mod that added doom to balatro
^
WAIT WHAT
WHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT
GAMBLING WORKS
and the silly thing is
your chances of getting another negative with Death Note are higher :3

guys does anyone know how to fix the multiplayer mod error "attempting to connect to outdated server"^
update your mods
ill try
what if my message was one operator higher and it scaled
Is there a mod that lets you control the rate modded content spawns?
Ortalab and Phanta both add modded-only stakes, but i assume that's not what you want ^^;
tysm i got it to work
the devious square array:
Thank you for letting me know but I was more thinking about having certain modded content be rarer
bejewltro!!!
if you install less modded content then less modded content will spawn
I mean true
oo if you wanna ban specific Jokers, you can use the mod called Banner
now i need to put it above the deck
that... kinda does that ish
Alright thank you

the invisible joker is false
they arent invisible
they are transparent
this is why i HATE balatro
if the joker's called invisible then why is it visible...!!! checkmate woker
if it's an invisible joker, then why, then, then why is, is why is it that
localthunk forgot to localthink about that one
ok this feels much better than the old system i was using
if the joker's called invisible then why did you pee your pants huh?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
also poly test page :3 nice

5 ore cards

gobble gobble
u shiuld play my mod too
does anybody have a second to chat about a bug im experiencing
mitosis
😛
whoops
how many of these do you have
always a different website
just the one
candy
nahnah you have another
its not my website i dont host it
i wanted to ask if anybody is experiencing a weird glitch when switching decks to start a run with steammodded
i tried disabling every mod, even trying different versions of steammodded and lovely and it still happened
what's the weird glitch
i see now
for a split second the back of the selected deck's cards appears at the bottom of my screen
idk if i can send videos here
i think thats just how smods handles it
u need the role
i just wanted to know if it happens to anyone else or if its just a me thing
js ignore it 🤷♂️
this happens to me too yeah
i think its how smods makes the thing actually appear
damn, unlucky
these small things bother me so much for some reason
i believe this is due to that being the default location of cards before they are positioned properly in the deck
similarly you will notice sometimes text is orphaned in the top left because thats where the "default" position is
@fair thistle is this yuri
you shouldplay my mod
oh
candy
yyou should play my mod
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
can you not
pls
alr
awesome work!!!!!! i've never seen a naneinf with Phanta before!
the sillies helped out :3c
play my mod i add more clutter to your screen
pleasee
this does not look good on your public record
i tell you to stop begging, and you beg more
???
collect my pages
cbean general is the closest im getting to a balala modding vc 💔
👨❤️👨
um
🫠
also is it normal that the scoring after playing my hand starts after a brief pause
thanku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.................
its barely noticeable but its definitely longer than unmodded, like .2 seconds or something
oh astro can i get your opinion on this
so Phanta, right
got lots of Jokers
i wanna keep adding things to it
but also, that mayyyyyy eventually and slowly cause bloat
i had considered a Lite version a while ago, but gave that up
.....
my point being that i randomly joined, and thunder is on the violin
.
do i make a new mod to add new things to, or do i ignore the bloat thing, or do i make a Lite version?
fairfair ^u^
i was acctually going to do similar with valk
except lite mode was going to be a config option which just loaded different files
i turned a balatro challenge concept into its own game real
jam join the voicechat
and it was more going to be how intrusive of gameplay do you want vallkarri
enough room to expand lmfao
o i see!
WAIT SO TRUE HEHE
i'd love for there to be a gameset mod
neonflame gamesets??
and mods can define gamesets to choose between
gamesets for balancing is dumb imo
but gamesets for "how intrusive do you want the mods gameplay" i think would be way cooler
neonflame?
there's not enough in Neonflame for that
um
hey so candy, i've given you lots of leeway, but blocking you is an option on my table now
it's a lot easier than dealing with your whining
I'm setting up a run config for Kino that lets you customize stuff during deck selection. Will make it so you can have the game select a random series of joker packages so you end up with 150 jokers and 5 enhancements, instead of the 335 and 8 enhancements the mod has now
what does it level up
william afton is cool
idfk i just thought of using it lol
question mark enhancement from aikoshen
level up last played hand?
and it does shader stuff to show the planet for that periodically
I think part of that will also be me providing some thematic presets for content. Main thing is that I'd want that type of content filtering to be really easily Accessible because relaunching the game or going to the mod config every time seems like effort, haha
i considered making each individual file of my mod toggleable but i was not sure if it would get that much use
it would be cool but it would not get that much use
If someone wants to be that granular, I'll just recommend them banner, haha
same i'll. Probably do that
"disable overrides.lua trust me bro"
But I think being able to select 'Robots & Monsters' after you picked your deck and sleeve so you get ~150 focused on Sci-Fi & Horror movies seems like a more interesting and fun way to go about it. Granularity is nice, but I also want to prevent players needing to design their own experience
Ideally I just offer a few thematic sets that will filter the jokers out based on playstyle and theme. Same for enhancements and seals. They can do the granularity themselves as well, but that's only for the nerds who'd enjoy it, haha
i have brainstorm installed but i cant find it.

How is it 66 mult and chips if it's 3 hands and 0 discards
it scales
yeah
both at the same time
i think it's about as good as the other scaling mult jokers
joker based on big money deluxe
im starting to realise how this is a little busted
what are modifiers supposed to be
passive jokers i guess?
all the others are pretty passive but this one is just weird
say that again...
one of a few metas discovered :>
grate is very overpowered because waxed is so easy to get
isn't it practically just burnt joker but better without a joker slot
well
not just because that's a really strong effect
also so many references and i feel outside of the little bubble
witch's mark feels boring unless you get the reference which i don't
maybe i could have it level up every Nth hand played or something
also hanafudas are very powerful and some are just tarot/spectral cards
and sculpter is really underpowered
fuckin...
gains +1 mult when money gain is expressed with a number instead of dollar signs
Balatrue is overpowered
but what about lovely patches?
📝 
beekeper should be 1 maybe 2
because it is just such free score
so much Xmult on enhancements as well
like 3 xmult enhancements
all of them are
there could be a lot more done
this is true :D i'll make that 3 > 2 now
i won't be changing Marble because of its synergy with unscored cards
also yeah, lots of xmult ^^;
maybe waxed could be changed a little, its xmult was the bare minimum for it to be useful on its own
its main purpose is for the grates
Waxed lightly weathered cut copper stairs
im having problems with a mod where can i go for help?
you're in the right place!
this is true, they are also slightly less rare than spectrals though
that's the balance
(which Manga so elegantly throws out the window :3)
here is my issue. i have brainstorm installed and enabled but it doesn't show up in settings like ive seen in other places
i don't quite see how — what makes you say so?
reference
omg
:O!!!!!!!!!!! BULLSEYE
i thought you had to play just 1 diamond
now that i see it
still bad
but not play 1 card bad
right ^u^

girlie is lovely
say that again
maybe i have a brain worm but i will genuinely accept being called any name so long as its feminine and clearly referring to me
it just happens that lily is feminine and also usually is pretty clearly referring to me

im 309 words out of a 550 word essay am i goated or not
started 90 minutes ago because im a bit slow
goated for starting!
its due 2 weeks ago but my teachers are nice
2 weeks ago is crazy
i have no motivation to do anything that isnt logical
my grades in math is crazy good and my grades in english are crazy bad
n't
if you just become an LLM it'll be logical
true!
ignore the background since thats temp but how are we feeling about this word art
nice
i struggle so much with fonts
a weeeeee bit hard to read? otherwise, i like it!
i like it but ya i agree it might be a bit hard to read
does anyone know how the brainstorm mod works? i have a few questions
yeahh fair
tbh it might be fine with the large gaps as-is if it was just larger
I didn't know there was a brainstorm mod until today
i was just wondering if theres a way to disable the mod other than just taking it out from the Mods directory, since i dont want it always influencing the seeds i get in my playthroughs
loyalty card if it levelled up hands:
is something like this better?
ya i think thats much more readable
nice
indeed
life is so sad
born to make art
forced to make boosters 😔
born to write code forced to have no ideas+motivation+vyvanse
born to content forced to ui
born to blindside forced to create an entirely new game
rip to the run
inshallah your mult shall be ground to a fiberous powder
do you guys know how to disable the brainstorm mod
im just using lovely so idk how to do that
i know using steammodded theres an option for that
add a file named .lovelyignore into its folder
yeah thats steammodded no?
me when no steamodded
why no steamodded lmao
this tells lovely to Not apply any patches in this folder
using steammodded has a couple downsides, there are a few of my mods that dont work well with it i noticed
why are you building mods without steamodded
what is going on
yeah why what
im not building mods lol
why are you using lovely mods????
what mods are you using dude
??????????????
i think its funny that im the only one who didnt criticize this
saturn, cartomancer and another couple of them i cant remember
carto should be fine with smods and saturn is just generally outdated tbh
also using steammodded i noticed a weird delay before scoring my hand
i use saturn and it's fine tho
like the cards just hover there for a second
smods does fuck with some timings yea
yeah, really annoying
true but like, smods is the big thing most mods rely on
my mods dont need it
i mean if they wanted the type of mods that need it they would probably have it
yea
whenever i have to run a more complicated mod like idk multiplayer, i just relocate steammodded in the right directory
anyway, to disable a lovely mod simply add a file named .lovelyignore in it's folder
yeah that
smods does the same thing to respect disabled mods
i know i can do it, but that would be the same as taking it out of the directory, i just wanted to know if there was a more streamlined solution
theres not a lot of lovely-only support tbh
smods is the streamlined solution
mmh ok
yknow yeah
so you are cooked
the thing is i can set everything in the mod config to "none" so that theoretically it doesnt interfere with vanilla seed searching, but there's a feature that i cant disable i think
is this good
oh thats interesting in theory but the limit makes it feel worthless
so if the limit wasnt there itd be good?
itd be incredible
ok im removing the limit
and bump it up to a rare i feel
since i can only set the soul card option to either 0 or 1, setting it to 0 makes me think that i will NEVER be able to spawn a soul card from a charm tag, not just 0.3% of the time (or whatever it is)
done
thats why i was asking if anybody is REALLY experienced with the brainstorm mod 🙁
this is such a specific question
sorry i dont think i can do anything to help either 😭
that sounds, so weird
i think ill just message the mod creators directly
yeahh fair!
thanks for the help
probably your best bet
whoops
i don't think so
does anyone know where to get the downloads for jen almanac/required mods for it. I have cryptid and talisman but I cant find the download for almanac here and its removed from git
jen's almanac is canned
aw that sucks
almanac was taken down from most public downloads, you can probably find it online but you should just play a mod that’s actually updated
like maybe mine ….. #1380767966341238794
for a mod that's like jen's almanac
play mayhem
or you can play my mod
Okay jokerforge
jokerforge is the best mod
find my pages
after resetting for like 10 minutes i was able to spawn a soul card even with the value set to 0 so theres my answer
i am 1/50th of hot potato so thats basically my mod
hypermult
10 arrows
1.1 mult
jokerforge has evolved beyond what i planned for it
my baby has grown up
i am in contact with localthunk to make jokerforge the official in game mod maker
(im not)
wait that's banger
would this crash
no
10 arrows is baby shit
10,000 is where it starts obviously acting weird
(bignum inacc)
jokerforge will crash if you make a joker that is 1.0001x more complex than vanilla so yes it will crash
ah so ^^^^^^^^^^1.1 Mult does jack shit
Noted
i mean try it
its probably really strong
guys what does this joker do
its from aiko
and i have anotherjoker that disables the info thingy
thats cheating i think
to tell you
i got rid of it for yuri pt1
yeasssss
i mean yes, but actually no
should i make this more unbalanced
he already has his own rarity so why not
why not
if you want to do it
there is already a lack of quality because it's forgeslop
nothing against jokerforge itself
i hate the jokerforge ui
more against 99.9% of the users
it's alright for me
i've seen worse
the actual rulebuilder stuff is very good but actually managing a mod could definitely be improved
hehehehe
scratch shall rule the world
jokerforge 2
ante 6 e11 base 🤤
jokerforge 2.0
this looks really good
genuinely fire
jokerforge was made to abstract the concept of creating mods very far but this looks more involved in the coding process
jokerforge is a great resource but it atracts the worst quality mod makers who dispise effort
especially when it added hyperoperators
i was partly against that for a while but the community demanded
yeah
if i could start making joker forge all over again i would do a lot differently for sure
there is still time to redesign the non-rulebuilder ui
New controls system I'm working on
i got called a slur for mentally disabled people on phasmophobia because of my speech impedment, cant have shit in phasmophobia bro
ok nvm this mod is canceled
it doesn't really feel creative at all
batmanforge :clueless:
in progress! do not fear about the pure black i just haven't decided what to do with the bg
AAHhHHHH
this is supposed to be a regular planet why am i going so hard
they're banned in both servers i think
Is it that ragebaiter guy that got banned
Oh I see I have asked a question already answered whoops
that dude left a bad reputation on jokerforge users like what the fuck
I posted all the joker ideas I had a few days ago to reddit before I buffed Mistoffelees and literally everyone who replied to the post was just like "Mistoffelees sucks" and didn't talk about any of the other Joker ideas 🙁
PLEASE
There's like 14 other jokers here I'm sorry for making a shit one
Stop throwing tomatoes at me ow ow ow ow ow
fair point
i remember seeing a mod where one of the jokers was "if hand contains a high card, create a random negative eternal joker"
Fire
and it contained HORRID moxels
mixels for voxels goes crazy
so i tried installing cryptid using a video guide and the github page only had the source code
if hand doesn't contain a high card, create a random negative eternal joker
we're finally getting somewhere
If hand is empty, do nothing
i typed crate instead of create i'm leaving
im pretty sure thats just the cryptid folder included in the release so where do i get steamodded and talisman?
oh its just
They're seperate mods
Just drag the folder that says cryptid inside the zip folder into your mods folder
peam
also cool but seeing your mult essentially get set to one seems very funny
i can't do that in jokerforge... sigh..
hiii sorry if i interrupt, i just downloaded multiplayer mod, is there a way to just get a matchmaking match instead of a coded match?
they don't got shit in jokerforge
not even a {10}
you need to join the balatro multiplayer server
ooo thx!
i mean
i could do -9999999999 mult
hmm yeah but thats not even close to acc
and then when people tell you it's unbalanced, you say "ok what if it's ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^1.0000000001 instead"
and i can guess that you can't grab the current mult
(because then setting to one would be ez pz and that would be good enough for basically any omeganum people will see)
i would suggest just sticking with the crash
yeah
^^mult should not exist in the context of balatro
what about =mult
it's fine ig
and setting the scoring operator to {27272} should be burnt to the ground
i saw that in a balatro mod once 😨
in the big '27
I don't mean to criticize, but what mods that you know JF uses do you think are of poor quality?
it's just curiosity
that one ragebaiters mod, ectoplasm
there's probably more
I just recommend that you don't enter the JF server if you want to stay sane
i've already entered it
Sometimes you can find masterpieces, but then there's junk content without naming names
it deserves in dogwater tier
"Ideas" with a joker name and no sprite
i don't think the quality of mods made in jokerforge is necessarily the primary issue. any tool that increases accessibility for modding is going to open the gates to more low-quality content, that's just par for the course
my main concern is actually its generated code. i want the source code from (well-made) jokerforge mods to be a good resource for when new modders want/need to transition to writing actual code, and as it is i don't think it's doing a good job of that at the moment
ideas joker:
ideas?
the UI is also a big issue for me, and i much prefer the block based coding that jokerblocks is going to offer
ideas joker seems like it would have an effect akin to rnjoker
that's what i've been thinking
man i need to incorporate "akin" into my vocabulary
been using "a la" a lot and it always sounds a little bit weird lol
though maybe it SPAWNS the random jokers
with the random sprites
that is NOT me
mayhaps a better name would be Forgeslop
man candy cannot take a hint
or is great at ignoring them
yeah but what if the said jokerforge user is me
like what is this goofy mf doing this is bros actual display name in starspace
oh
play my mod guys https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1419501098666033305

fancy new pfp oinite
i need to contact the person who made this pfp and ask them to dig up the santa hatless version of it
-# it's actually because i drew a pfp for my friend but it's posed way too similarly to my pfp so im switching to avoid that talking point lol
i rather like the version of my sona that Directly copies gumis hairstyle
yo i just remembered that lmao
I love the art for these
mod is by @Nolo33LP
i keep fucking messing with these designs but i think i found a theme i like
what are the two aspects represented here?
if you don't mind saying
rng and chips!
nice
literally arengee
unfortunately joker forge will never have 'good' code, that is the nature of making a custom code generator, i have been trying to make people more aware of the SMODS library by doing things like linking N's wiki and the SMODS docs when you export
jokerforge can rather have a lot of features or write nice code, my methodology behind joker forge when i first created it was that as long as it worked it worked
and when i started making jokerforge, i did not even know how to mod balatro myself so that didnt help lol
geneis
i think there's still plenty of room to improve tho, even within the constraints of what the tool is
a particular issue for me is that there's no way to use a centralized localization file, you have to have everything localized via loc_txt. it's probably more complicated under the hood, but jokerforge packages whole mods anyway and i don't see why it shouldn't be done
this is also real, jokerblocks and joker forge from my understanding have a different fundamental idea behind them. i wanted to make a tool that allows balatro modding with no programming experience, joker blocks assumes you have programming experience (somewhat) so can lay the logic out more 'programmy'. neither one is better than the other, its just different approaches
how do I restart my run quickly
yeah for sure, i still class joker forge as a beta-ish currently, the loc stuff will most likely be there before 1.0, joker forge kinda blew up in the balatro modding community before it was able to get good
r
struggling with editing the exe ig
fake
since lovely and steammodded are mods
that was the entire point in my head when i made it. i wanted to make balatro modding accessible for literally everyone. however more mods equals more bad mods, aswell as good mods
i probably could have figured out opening and editing the exe
because its pretty easy to figure out how to do that via reading love2d docs
probably yeah
but yeah i probably could not have made lovely
which yes i do this often enough for me to know
was lovely made for balatro?
i think it was
its not balatro exclusive but it was primarily made for the purpose of loading balatro mods iirc
but bad mods arent the end of the world, let people make bad mods and upload them. the issue that this community has is mod discoverability. finding good mods is not an easy process, and i think people unfairly blame joker forge for it when the issue is not having a nice mod repo
maybe in the alternate timeline beatblock became popular enough that metherul made it primarily for the purpose of beatblock modding
no people think jokerforge mods are bad not that they affect good mod discoverability
shitty jokerforge mods are not gonna be discoverable at all
yeah it is unfortunate that the https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1324102096584446002 is actually useful
mod index index index when
(except like on one random repo and some discord messages)
They definitely affect good mod discoverability and it's because they're bad
what are the downsides to bad mods? genuinely there is none. there is only a downside when you cant find good mods out of the bad mods, ergo, mod discoverability issue
They know how to make threads and it buries the less well-known mods
oh yall use the threads?
can we add unremovable watermarks to jf which require you to solve the Riemann hypothesis to remove
is that too many or too ltitle badges
more badges
just do starspace crossmod and make it contain a flash
simple
thats fair, and im the same, obviously im extremely biased cos i made the damn thing. but my argument to that is why should people learn to code to create what they want if a tool can do it for them? the type of people that use jokerforge and know nothing about coding and dont want to learn are not going to learn coding anyways.
assuming jokerforge users dont actually check the mod files, just smack a "jf_" prefix on every file name
"every" is necessary since who is gonna take the time to remove all those prefixes
vaguely related but a part of jokerblocks i like is that the output is always right there (as well as the blocks closely relating to the code)
fair enough
makes learning easier
it actually makes me so mad
i dont really care about jf mods
i care about how shittily some of them are published
me when i put a zip file in a git repo instead of doing anything good
not enough
dude
those are infoqueues theyre different
this is a huge improvement over joker forge yeah. because of how much obfuscation joker forge does with the code, it currently is much, much more difficult to have the code generate alongside on the side.
cass just brought up the issue of too many infoqueue boxes on that joker to me wtf is this 😭
i'm stupid
like
its not that hard guys
just put the mod files. on your github.
if i see one more mod release via zip file im deleting vallkarri
they don't know what git push is so they upload a zip file of the directory
JokerBlocks is unfortunately not probably going to be used very much because the subset of people who would actually use it instead of just lua is Small
me when i upload a zip file to google drive and refuse to release my mod anywhere else
cough cough
-# utdr
cough
but then again, the type of people that will use joker blocks are the type of people that care about the code because they already understand programming at a fundamental level. the type of people that gravitate towards jokerforge (majority of the time) dont really care about the code
maybe its only me who gets so mad about this
i will laser them
because i like to see the mods content via code before downloading & playing
TRUE
wiki would be preferred
but like. nobody fucking updates that shit
if they even have one
rofl
candycane w actually neonflame has an updated wiki
also infoqueues you say
i hope joker blocks becomes popular so it can see more development, if i ever get some time, i might lend a hand depending on if the codebase is nice to work with
even if it is somewhat competing with jokerforge, competition is always good because it strives for improvement
i am chill with the guy i've helped with the development lmao
(and i actually started my own version before i saw he was doing it and decided to help him)
yea im the only one thats touched those pages but i keep it updated
jokerforge has introduced a couple people to modding who no longer use it so that's pretty good i say
i also think its less problematic but i dont like the idea of making mods for the end result only rather than the process
@wide mulch never add decks please
but at the end of the day, i dont think creation should be hardlocked behind skills like programming that not everyone wants to learn. plus, when i first started creating jokerforge SMODS was a lot less documented than it is now
keep it not fully functional so they have to transition to lua eventually
ideally tools like this should be built for making people stop using them
they are already there i believe
and it STILL isn't documented well
because joker forge is open source, i havent actually committed to jokerforge in like two months lol, i think decks got added then
its funny because i sit in a funny spot where the reason i make the mods is for the coding
same
i don't really even care about the outcome
but then my question for you is why is that a bad thing
i am reaching the point where i dont really care about my mod other than the joy it brings others
(in comparison)
i do it to increase my skills in programming and to make others happy
i care a little and to the extent of 'this works well'
how we feel about this?
ive never actually made a balatro mod, my first time lua programming was as a contributor to hot potato lol
im new to balatro modding how do i make this in jokerforge?
