[west hill]

do YOU find tyour mod fun

[wanton rapids]

big numbers dont strictly mean the mod is unfun

[karmic compass]

what do you mean by "make the mod fun"

[winged prism]

Then just play it and see if it's fun

[ornate bone]

Housing Market: X8 Mult for every consecutive Full House. Resets if you play a hand that isn't a Full House. Rare Joker.

[karmic compass]

who are you trying to please here

[hard plank]

please answer yes or no

[karmic compass]

just make whatever you're happy with, and then whoever sees the same vision as you will play your mod

it will be a lower number, but it will be a much healthier development cycle and you will be more satisfied with the result

[full edge]

Make your mod big numbers if you like it, because your mod is mostly going to be played by you. A big skill is learning to separate feedback that stems from design that doesn't work as intended, and intended design that doesn't land for that specific player.

[silent night]

Is infinite score or talisman better

[wanton rapids]

amulet

[winged prism]

Amulet

[silent night]

Okie

[frigid mica]

I think there’s an issue I should try to resolve.

And if I can manage to fix that, the mod will be fun on its own.

[karmic compass]

huge

[frigid mica]

Which is that, the mod should be fun by itself.

[full edge]

Biggest thing, imho, is that if your mod wants to be one that requires amulet/talisman, you are kind of leaning into a specific type of design. I think some disagreement in the Cryptid server about what Cryptid is supposed to be very much stems from how high power content scales with other content.

[frigid mica]

Without Cryptid.

Without entropy

[indigo narwhal]

Would y'all consider Andre the Giant a Clown/Jester in a sense? Or is he more of an actor/entertainer?

[frigid mica]

Without anything else.

Just busted buffoons.

And its dependencies.

[karmic compass]

i think he's just, a dude

he's big yeah but he doesnt really do clowning

[frigid mica]

He’s jest a dude

[indigo narwhal]

He was a comedian/entertainer by trade

[full edge]

Definitely not a clown, but I can see where you're coming from

[indigo narwhal]

but I suppose that doesn't count

[hard plank]

guys

[winged prism]

Yes

[hard plank]

what if i just add anything to my mod and give it ^^^^^2.5 money

[karmic compass]

comedian is distinct enough from clown i think

[winged prism]

Innovative

[frigid mica]

So yeah, uhh, if I can manage to make my mod fun all on its own, would that make it better than most mods?

[karmic compass]

if it's like buster keaton that's more physical slapstic based yeah that's adjacent to clowning

[west hill]

stop comparing your mod to other mods dude

jesus christ

[hard plank]

if you're asking if you think it's appropriate for him to be added as a joker of some kind then I'd say go ahead and do it

i don't really care

[winged prism]

Are we back at point zero or what

[indigo narwhal]

I still like to follow the game's tropes, rather than just doing whatever we want

[frigid mica]

Most “broken” mods

[karmic compass]

he can just be andre the giant

baseball card is just a dude with face paint

[hard plank]

you can put him in a clown makeup

[frigid mica]

But yeah

[silent night]

I've downloaded amulet but my game kept crashing so I deleted talisman and it's working is that normal

[karmic compass]

you can paint his facwe white if you want

[winged prism]

That's still a stupid thing to be concerned about

[hard plank]

yes

[silent night]

Thanks

[frigid mica]

I should remember, comparisons are bad

[hard plank]

amulet and talisman are mutually exclusive

you either picked one or the other

[winged prism]

And stupid and ugly and ridiculous and

[west hill]

I think you just fundamentally have the wrong idea about why you should create a mod

[indigo narwhal]

we're looking for Big and Small Clowns/Jesters. Specifically

[polar oyster]

clown!!!

[karmic compass]

if you lift up the torch in front you can turn it into subtraction instead of comparison

[polar oyster]

big clown

[full edge]

A big thing to consider is that powerful effects invalidate weaker content once it's obtained. eMult basically takes away the use of any xMult joker once you have it. So if you balance aspects of your mod assuming people will get emult in their run, you're changing the purpose of xMult and +mult jokers in your mod. It also means that a lot of content can end up feeling more like filler, which I think most Cryptid players will recognize. A large number of jokers Cryptid adds will never be used because the more powerful options are often too consistently accessible. The question to answer there, as far as game design, is how okay that is with you.

[stark hare]

does this seem balanced

[frigid mica]

Which reason? I have two reasons. “To be cool” and “because it’s fun”

[karmic compass]

jokers costing more doesnt matter at all since rare tags spawns free joker, if anything that's a buff since it would increase the sell value of the free rare joker

[full edge]

First, do you want to make a mod because you think it's cool to make stuff and play around with game design or funny numbers? Or do you want to make a mod because you want it to be streamed and talked about?

[west hill]

then why is everything you say either "would this make it fun" or "would this make it better than X"?

[frigid mica]

Honestly, I can’t decide…

That’s my one true flaw

The inability to choose.

[karmic compass]

honestly very relatable, i used to think like this and it made me hate everything i made

[frigid mica]

Do I want my mod to be cool or fun?

[limber oak]

can relate too

[stark hare]

i just make my mod because its fun

i dont care if it doesnt take off

if it does then cool

[hard plank]

you know what

[karmic compass]

i made my mod because i want an excuse to put in references and injokes into the game but then i ended up having to actually come up with something cool to justify its existence beyond being yahislop

[hard plank]

if you keep insisting that your mod is in fact for everyone else

[karmic compass]

and like that's all it needs to be for me

[frigid mica]

Aikoyori, just block me

[hard plank]

you need to improve bro

you can't do this all day

expecting me to go easy on you everyday

[full edge]

The second reason will leave you truly, truly disappointed as a source of fulfilment. Kino's been around for a year and I suspect it's more played than most mods just due to size and it existing for a while, and it gets 1 YouTube video every 2 months and is actively discussed only by me talking to people that report bugs for it. If you want to have fun in a niche hobby, you can only really sustain that fun by doing things for yourself, and anything else as a bonus

[karmic compass]

i dont care if no ones ever play my mod other than me, i posted a video of a joker referencing that time a friend lost $12,000 on a gameshow and they reacted with a haha in the groupchat

that's serving its purpose for me

[hard plank]

i don't think it's just me who shares the sentiment of "oh god not again"

🙏😭

[frigid mica]

I guess everybody shares the same answer.

[karmic compass]

but remember

in the end, we DONT matter

it's YOUR answer that you need

[hard plank]

i don't matter

to your creation

[karmic compass]

take your time and find what you want

[frigid mica]

The truth is as clear as day.

It’s my mod, fuck everybody else’s opinions.

[karmic compass]

YIPPEEE

[ornate bone]

Amulet does not play nice with my modded hell like Talisman does.

[hard plank]

i mean i wouldn't say ignore everything but again

it's also your responsibility to determine actual feedback from the noise

[ornate bone]

-# Unless it's pointing out major game breaking bugs that crash the game horifically.

[frigid mica]

So then, just let everything play out.

[woven crag]

Does it not do literally the same thing but without incompatibility issues

[ornate bone]

It crashes my mod salad so I stick with talisman.

[full edge]

Nah, it's not fuck everybody else's opinions, it's consider opinions and care about feedback, but make your self worth dependant on it.

[frigid mica]

Astro said I should tone down the higher operation stuff

[full edge]

Don't make art because you like the idea of a discord server where 15 year olds share memes being linked to it.

[frigid mica]

I am toning it down by removing tetration and beyond from Grandiose Jokers, and making them exclusive to Secret Jokers.

[full edge]

Consider what rarity does and means for your mod

[frigid mica]

I am

I try to make one ability be not as broken

How about this?

The weakest common joker in my mod is stronger than the strongest common in vanilla.

Is that a good idea of what my mod is like?

[long hare]

how many legendaries should a mod typically have?

[frigid mica]

I have like 15.

Planned

[long hare]

oh.

[full edge]

Between 0 and like 500. Legendary is such a hard design soace

[hard plank]

as many as you want actually

[frigid mica]

15 Legendary (Planned) , 15 Fantastic (Done), 15 Grandiose (Nearly There), and 15 Secret (Planned)

If you know Cryptid’s Rarities, then look at it this way

Fantastic is Epic Legendary and Grandiose is Epic Exotic

Dreamy is just my own version of Epic.

Also Secret jokers just Ritualistic Jokers.

So yeah, pretty weird balance thing

Between rarities of course

I should change Noisette’s ability somehow.

[wanton rapids]

restricting yourself to specific numbers for rarities feels odd

[frigid mica]

It’s a “5 or 0” rule.

[plush hound]

i just do shit for fun

[frigid mica]

I have this trait that makes me not like odd numbers.

Unless it’s 5.

So yeah

Man, everybody is so fucking complicated.

I just killed chat by sharing insights on my mod

[limber oak]

no you didnt

[lavish pike]

nah

[gray delta]

deja vu

[frigid mica]

Is it really that weird though?

To have a 0 or 5 rule?

[gray delta]

i thought it was because of the collection

[frigid mica]

Yes

[gray delta]

also 5 is an odd number

[polar oyster]

memory card have antisynergy with dementia joker //c

[lavish pike]

I just have as much as whatever

[frigid mica]

Unless it’s 5, odd numbers suck balls

[lavish pike]

I dont care if I dont have x content

I just want content in my mod

[karmic compass]

tf do you mean

7 is a great odd number, rainbow

[gray delta]

your name is 1sttry and 1 is an odd number

[karmic compass]

9 is a great odd number, square

[frigid mica]

I meant numbers that end with 1.

Or 3.

Or 7.

Or 9.

[limber oak]

what about all the numbers divisible by 17

[karmic compass]

that's

that's odd number

i know what odd numbers are yes

[frigid mica]

5 is an exception.

[lavish pike]

Memorey card - Rare
"Select one card in hand for Memory card to remember. After beating the boss blind create a copy of that remebered"

-# resent, I deleted the message previously because there was already a convo, and dont want to be rude

[humble ravine]

Are there any mods that function similar to SpriteMaster for Stardew valley where it resamples all the assets to make it HD?

[frigid mica]

I can live with the collection number ending at 5.

[karmic compass]

ok but 11 is a great odd number

good size for like a crossword or logic puzzle grid

[polar oyster]

dementia joker: x2 mult. not allow copy and destroying playing card

hehe

[karmic compass]

can you beat
balatro with
dementia

[lavish pike]

cant remeber, can I? /j

[frigid mica]

Is Rainbow Dash a good joker? First played Cards become Polychrome, retrigger all scored polychrome cards.

[polar oyster]

wait i have idea for some thing that 100% will not be on my mod: Trolley problem (blind): Choose bettwern destroy hell all cards or lose all money at start of round

[lavish pike]

what is it's rarity currently?

[frigid mica]

Fantastic

[lavish pike]

hmmm

[frigid mica]

It’s in the same rarity with Spinel, which stacks XMult with each card, and Papyrus which gains doubled xmult when skipping a booster pack.

[polar oyster]

funny clown idea

[lavish pike]

its definately better than rare 100%

[karmic compass]

no it should highlight two random cards in your hand and all playing cards are debuffed until you destroy one of them

[polar oyster]

hmm

what about make for jokers

only two jokers are not debuffed. sell 1 of 2 joker to remove debuff from all other jokers

[frigid mica]

I should change how Garnet Scales.

Instead of x2 values, it would be +1 values.

Or I could keep it that way but lose chips and mult when scoring spades and diamonds.

[stark hare]

speed why you tryin not to laugh

[lavish pike]

😭

[frigid mica]

Everyday I’m becoming more and more like Kanye mentally.

[limber oak]

please sense i need thisss

[karmic compass]

which part

[frigid mica]

You say some shit that pisses me off I try to not say something back

Or else I will just want to punch you in the face

[karmic compass]

that's literally the opposite of kanye

like he is famously known for not witholding anything

[frigid mica]

I’m gonna make him look like DanTDM if you don’t-

[karmic compass]

he already is tho

dantdm is bald now

[frigid mica]

Wrong comparison 😭

Nvm

I guess all this shit about my pent up emotions is probably just nothing.

Cause I really need to crash out at some point.

Ok now i sound corny

Fuck me

I should repost this.

[stark hare]

why is there a mod to go under .5 game speed this sucks

i feel like that guy who spent millions of years at a subway

[frigid mica]

Bus Stop…

[ornate bone]

HO HO HO!

[cunning isle]

Just released my first mod! https://discordapp.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1465022728183611585

[stark hare]

legendary joker that retriggers all retrigger effects

[frigid mica]

Would this work with https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1355819401198178455

[cunning isle]

I never tried, if it is compatible with other modded seals then I'd say yes, but if it only works on vanilla seals then I'd say no.

[wind turtle]

Yes, it stacks almost everything that cannot be stacked (seals, editions, enhancements, suits, ranks, cards) and it works with modded things.

[cunning isle]

I'm trying right now, if it isn't compatible I'll see what I can do.

[wind turtle]

It should be compatible but there wouldn't be a reason to have both mods at the same time.

[karmic compass]

what if crossmod where you can stack stacked seals on stacked seals

Red Seal on Red Seal retriggering the Red Seal

[winged prism]

Seal on red retrigerring red red seal the seas

[long hare]

the red sea...

[cunning isle]

It seem that there's no crash but my combined seals don't have an effect of jokers.

[winged prism]

Seal on a red seal on a red seal on a red seal

Help me seal my card

[long hare]

seal the dark fountain, kris

[polar oyster]

milk inside milk bag inside

[winged prism]

That was close

[long hare]

milk inside milk bag inside milk bag bag inside milk bag bag bag inside

[polar oyster]

bag bag??

[wind turtle]

Yes, because your stacked seals are actually just a single seal that has all of the stacked seals's effects but my mod checks for specifically the vanilla seals.

[polar oyster]

hmm

[winged prism]

Bag milk milk bag inside side in milk bag

[brave lotus]

does anyone know of a mod implementing an "eternal" type thing for playing cards, as in, the card can't be destroyed by Sixth Sense, Trading Card, Familiar, Grim, Incantation, Immolate or The Hanged Man?

[long hare]

bunco w/ fluorescent

except fluorescent makes it unable to be debuffed too

[wind turtle]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1355819401198178455

[coarse jasper]

Imagine if tarot cards had their own "editions"

[karmic compass]

peak mentioned

milk bag

[polar oyster]

wait i was thinking eternal mechanice for playing card added by steammoded

[brave lotus]

thanks

[brave lotus]

I see

[oblique berry]

pog vegeta

[cunning isle]

Well I'll make my seals not be able to apply to jokers etc since the seal deck is badly influenced by them

[winged prism]

Hi murphy

[polar oyster]

consumables with edition is funny idea

[coarse jasper]

Coral reef seems kinda busted

[polar oyster]

yeas but editions cost extra money

[coarse jasper]

Oh that's fair

[long hare]

treadmill is busted

[coarse jasper]

Oh wait yeah thats busted

[long hare]

ah yes, skipping the entire game

[polar oyster]

no? it like reroll boss but for skiping

you cant skip final boss

[coarse jasper]

No because with the way you put it you just skip the boss

[coarse jasper]

Yeah but the main boss blinds arent insignificant

[brave lotus]

what's it called in the mod, indeed Eternal?

[coarse jasper]

The main boss blinds are still important so just allowing to skip them seems very busted

Specially when some of them directly challenge certain builds

[wind turtle]

No, it makes Eternal work on playing cards.

[brave lotus]

okay, right

so it's not like a new separate thing

[coarse jasper]

I think it'd be interesting to make it so you can skip ONE boss blind and then it self destructs the voucher

[polar oyster]

only this vouchers have fun synergy

self destruct voucher 😭

[coarse jasper]

Idk man what do you want me to do 😭

Maybe have it so instead of skipping it lowers the blind requeriment

[polar oyster]

maybe it cost money? i was think skip without shop and tag is fair punishment

[coarse jasper]

Not by a lot but enough to make them easier

I just think that allowing people to skip boss blinds is not a good idea

[polar oyster]

first voucher litteraly add $3 per skipping

[coarse jasper]

Skipping is already not a good idea so thats atleast balanced

[polar oyster]

You need enough score for finisher blind and skipping == less shop == less score

[coarse jasper]

But treadmill allowing to skip the main challenges of each ante is kinda bad

And like you could literally just skip the entire game if you wanted to

Not that it'd be ideal but once you get a good joker setup you encourage just skipping to final blinds and kot interact with the game whatsoever

Specially when there's already a tag that makes voucher finding quite easy

[polar oyster]

director cut remove like also challange

[coarse jasper]

It doesn't remove it, it replaces it

[ornate bone]

so one of my mod ideas has a finisher blind that has... no effec and so when you beat it you get it's joker counterpart which STILL does nothing.

[polar oyster]

maybe it cost money then to skip?

[coarse jasper]

You dont remove the plant with your paradolia deck, you change it for something else

[ornate bone]

-# (mostly because fuck the boys.)

[coarse jasper]

I guess but it'd need to be fairly expensive

[polar oyster]

$50 /j

[coarse jasper]

Why

[polar oyster]

$25 can be good

[coarse jasper]

Unironically 50 is close to enough

Maybe 30

[ornate bone]

The series of The Boys as a whole is trying way too hard to be dark and edgy but it comes off as childish.

[coarse jasper]

That's fair

[stark hare]

hey guys… what if… we make superhero’s EVIL… and they eat POOP and KILL people

[ornate bone]

I mean if I want a darker take on super heroes I'll turn to literally anything else.

[stark hare]

and we use shock value all the fre*king time…

[coarse jasper]

I think the boys is fine

[ornate bone]

Hell Invincible is a pretty good darker take on superheroes.

[stark hare]

truth nuke

[coarse jasper]

Its not amazing but i think it's pretty good

[upbeat kayak]

Don't watch The Boys, use your time on Dispatch instead

[stark hare]

it’s not a bad show story wise they just use shock value far too much

like why do you need to add a scene of someone eating poop

is it REALLY that important to the story

[coarse jasper]

Why dont they all make out

That'd be nice i think

[coarse jasper]

I mean if you throw it out of context then yeah it sounds irrelevant

You can say that about anything

[stark hare]

but there’s SO MUCH unneeded shit just added to be “wtf!!!! What da heck 😂”

it just puts me off so hard

[ornate bone]

and the comics are SO MUCH worse.

[coarse jasper]

Idk i just dont think its that bad

And hating on it is silly

[stark hare]

k

[coarse jasper]

Emphasis on "hating" and not "disliking" or "criticize"

[stark hare]

well I don’t like it so you do you

[coarse jasper]

That's better

[long hare]

average mgen convo

[coarse jasper]

Everyone mod balatro NOW

[winged prism]

I hate everything!!! Grrrrr

[coarse jasper]

Also fuck dispatch i wanted to kiss prism but they wouldn't let me

Grr..!

[winged prism]

I HATE the world

And everything in it

[coarse jasper]

What did the world do to you

Do you hate spades so much

[winged prism]

Uhhh

[coarse jasper]

Wait was it spades or clubs

[winged prism]

I'm not sure

[upbeat kayak]

Robert can't handle all that

[coarse jasper]

Well I could

[upbeat kayak]

Damn

[coarse jasper]

Waterboy x prism for dispatch 2 or i retire

Anyways

[winged prism]

Okay it was spades

[coarse jasper]

Yeah what did spades do to you

Do you hate arrowhead that much..

[winged prism]

Spades killed my grandma

[misty vine]

the comic book is much worse

[coarse jasper]

No yeah that is true

[coarse jasper]

Arrowhead: yeah well fuck you

[winged prism]

Ahead from Paya's Terrible Additions?? Omg...

[coarse jasper]

WHERE.

[misty vine]

cant find blindside

[formal orchid]

maybe its not on bmm

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1325147180280971294 definitely is tho

[ivory sinew]

Homelander blowing air

[coarse jasper]

Woah hey now lets not blow anyones air

[limber oak]

its not on bmm

-# plus my mod is balatro dash

[misty vine]

oh

[winged prism]

Blindside isn't their mod 😭
#1433445606071734374 and check the pins

[misty vine]

got it

[coarse jasper]

I should learn lus

Small question though

[winged prism]

Who's lus

[coarse jasper]

Do i need to use my own texture index for my custom jokers? Or add it onto the base one?

[coarse jasper]

Lua*

[polar oyster]

who is lua

[coarse jasper]

Lus*

[umbral pilot]

Lusty Lua

[coarse jasper]

As in do i need to make my own sprite sheet for my custom jokers or edit the base one

For only my custom jokers*

[winged prism]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki/SMODS.Atlas

[wanton rapids]

you make your own spritesheet

[coarse jasper]

Got it

[polar oyster]

i just released make 2^13 sprites in aseprite is bad idea

[winged prism]

2^13?..

Is it two rows or columns?

What what the fuck am I talking about

Shut up

[coarse jasper]

What what what

[polar oyster]

i was thinking it switches for remaining cards

small cauldron

[coarse jasper]

That seems fucked up

[winged prism]

Is it small?

[polar oyster]

i just checking something

[coarse jasper]

Maybe you could generate the background in-game instead of having each combination of number

[polar oyster]

im bad at emm coding balatro in draw

[misty vine]

omg its the localisation cat

[polar oyster]

it possible but easy make for every art

im maybe better code program for this

[ornate bone]

and for those who get a shiny version of eggman you'll be treated to this.

[coarse jasper]

Big ass nose

And its not red

[ornate bone]

It's the Adventure and onwards Eggman design.

[coarse jasper]

Red

[ornate bone]

I raise you palette limitations.

[coarse jasper]

Red

[ornate bone]

red

[coarse jasper]

Red!

[stark hare]

oh thats alot less than i thought it would be

still a lot

8192

[polar oyster]

it maybe not added but i want try

[stark hare]

+5 mult every time it hits a corner

[ornate bone]

joker with art that changes depending on certain situations? Sounds based as hell.

[polar oyster]

b

that see what cards in deck without looking every time

[stark hare]

interesting

[polar oyster]

flower pot but antisynergy with dna / 5 cards build

[ornate bone]

(besides the only idea I have for a joker that has dynamic art is a Ranma joker that's in the guy form but switches to the girl form if you have Splash in play with the effect changing as well.)

[indigo narwhal]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1464718331524288637
wanted to share this, since we've gotten pretty far. We mostly just need to finish the spectrals, but it's coming along nicely.

[main path]

I'm writing an intro to UI guide that should hopefully clear up a lot of confusion regarding programming UIs in your mods
https://github.com/ThunderEdge73/Balatro-UI-101/wiki
It's not done yet, but the feedback I've received from people so far has been very positive
(Yes I know the SMODS UI guide exists, but the guide i'm writing serves as more of a guided tutorial on how to make UIs without being as intimidating as reading the SMODS guide or diving into vanilla UI code)

[indigo narwhal]

...I feel like that's very anachronistic

[polar oyster]

skipping useless standard pack -> get standard tag

fun idea

[winged prism]

1 in 5 for skipped sounds very low tbh

[balmy lily]

cant wait to grt empowered tag-

[polar oyster]

hmm what if it was every 3 booster skipped (or mayb 2)

[winged prism]

May b

Ouple

[polar oyster]

hmm

[viral gulch]

is this too much

[polar oyster]

cryptid never have "too much" moment

[wanton rapids]

i mean realistically all you need for big numbers is 2 crustulums hooked to 2 [xvalues jokers] and a 5th joker for scoring

something like primus idk

[polar oyster]

hmmm

[viral gulch]

FYI there's 6 Exponetia's, 5 Duplicare's, 5 Facile's (one polychrome), a Wario, a Blueprint, 4 Gemini's, 2 Tenibres', an Invisible Joker, 2 Waluigi's, a Membership Card, a Googol Play Card, 2 To the moon's (one negative) and 3 Brainstom's. in that order

[polar oyster]

intresting

[viral gulch]

and also im on antimatter deck

[west hill]

This is cool so far but using color seems really weird to me

[main path]

Fair
Consistency does matter

[wanton rapids]

can gemini hit itself?

[west hill]

Yeah exactly

I’m also not fond of every config value having its own line from a structural point of view but it is better for learning

[stark hare]

excuse my french but genuienly wtf is this supposed to be

[main path]

I see your point
I will include examples where the config values are on one line because a lot of people do so and part of being good at writing code is reading code
And many people prefer their config values to be on one line

[polar oyster]

Every possible rank

2^13 cards

[woven crag]

No its immutable since it doesnt have a value in the description

[main path]

My preference of having a UI config table split out into multiple rows if theres more than 3 or so elements is not a common one it seems

[woven crag]

And i think its also just a hardcoded 2x

[stark hare]

3000 of hearts

well ythen what is irt

[polar oyster]

only rank, without any hearts :(

or not

[stark hare]

i dont get what your tyrying to do here sorry 😭

[winged prism]

Give me some cards with extra ranks

And hold the suits

[polar oyster]

I mean it have 2, 3, 23, 4, 24, 34, 234 and etc

[stark hare]

ohhh

ok

[polar oyster]

Ik trying something and it can be peak

Maybe not

maybe it was bad idea//

[stark hare]

im not saying its bads

i just dont get what its for

[polar oyster]

my aseprite lagging

huh

cauldron

now i will try add in game

[stark hare]

[west hill]

I find that it obfuscates the important information of the structure of the tree, and there are only really one or two important config values which tend to be th first ones defined anyway

[main path]

I can see where that comes from

[neon urchin]

wth its so high quality

i can see every pixel if i zoom in

[stark hare]

(gonna make it a rare)

[neon urchin]

mitosis

[main path]

I am adding a disclaimer for UI code styling in there
because I've gotten used to how I write UI code for my own stuff but I recognize that other people may not like my style of writing UI code

[polar oyster]

Unlock all button

[stark hare]

that only gets you like 25%

[gray delta]

i usually play modded with unlock all so umm

oh right

[west hill]

I think that’s a good idea

I like it so far though, good job!

Oh my god I can't believe this is real

[formal orchid]

spread the word

polterworx is back

[ornate bone]

the mod returns?

[formal orchid]

it has a 0.0.9 release

[worn dagger]

Fr or /j

[latent crescent]

May I take a look?

[latent crescent]

Is it inspired by something?

[main path]

For context, Eremel noted that my config tables were split like this

[latent crescent]

um, isnt it like default UI formatting?

[main path]

Eremels preference was to keep all the config values on one line

[main path]

instead of splitting them over multiple lines

[west hill]

If there was a default it wouldn’t be this

It’d be how thunk does it

[latent crescent]

It's like how code formatter does

I'm just pressing Ctrl + S and vscode formats entire UI for me like this and I'm ok with it

Except I preffer line width more than 80

I'm web dev so I'm working with this kind of code look a lot

[west hill]

Yeah, if you know what you’re doing with code to a decent level it doesn’t really matter how it’s formatted

But for understanding UI structure as a new dev I think this adds a lot of unnecessary thinking

[main path]

At the end of the day its personal preference

[latent crescent]

Programmers think that web is magic

Web devs think everything but web is magic

Some can't understand css when it's so easy, even html

That's why I was making react-inspired thing for balala ui

it kinda works but not performand and clucky, but in terms of usability I guess I did a pretty good job

[lavish pike]

hmmmm

no

[latent crescent]

btw formatter itself decide when to use single line and when is not depending on how it close to target width

Which make it a bit onconsistent but who cares right

[unkempt current]

what have i done

[polar oyster]

purple glop

[unkempt current]

no that's fac

[normal hollow]

i do this too dont let them gaslight you

[prisma latch]

i should joker fusion compat to my mod that lets you fuse vampire and fluttershy into flutterbat

fusing 2 uncommons into a legendary is maybe a little broken

but who give a care

[latent crescent]

See? Thats common UI practice

[unkempt current]

this was much easier than i thought
i legit thought i'd implode into a black hole trying to learn how to implementt this

im happy

fac is a real thing now

[limpid briar]

Polterworx is back

[unkempt current]

what

[polar oyster]

fusion joker have fusion rarity?

[lavish pike]

huh?

[polar oyster]

it works

[limpid briar]

Jen joined the unofficial community revival server and made it official.

[lavish pike]

right

ok 🤷

out of my interest, I guess it is cool

[viral gulch]

im in hell

help

[gentle citrus]

Welp funny question, do you guys happen to use the steam verison of balatro to mod the game or?

[viral gulch]

i have like 150 jonklers

[gentle citrus]

also hey guys.

[viral gulch]

yeah

[gentle citrus]

alright-y then.

just curious that's all

though not sure about anyone else but eh.

[forest knoll]

it's the only version that's supported
as per #📜・modding-rules rule 4, modding the mobile versions isn't allowed, and lovely doesn't work with the game pass version (yet)

[gentle citrus]

Yeah, and of course I do have balatro on PC on steam.

and I also mod on PC too so it's no big deal for me tbh.

[vagrant pike]

Is there a mod that allows you to build your own deck? like i mean 1000 joker slots and only banana in the shop

thatd be funny

[wanton rapids]

debug plus kind of

[lavish pike]

deck creator?

[polar oyster]

bbbb

[forest knoll]

outdated, crashes a lot

[keen knoll]

where

[lavish pike]

o

[lavish pike]

@keen knoll

[limpid briar]

Idk if I can send the invite link here can I dm you it?

Nevermind

[strange trail]

won my first run of cryptid lol

[lavish pike]

nice!

[polar oyster]

it will never have any rank support... (because i lazy)

but it funny

[strange trail]

had the boss that made me go straight to ante 8 lol

[lavish pike]

that is cryptid for you

[polar oyster]

5

[lavish pike]

a bunch of random shit

[polar oyster]

bbbb

[strange trail]

what the hell is this lol

[quaint wedge]

your playing cards have become consumables

meaning you can use them as such

but once you do

it's gone

[polar oyster]

huh you can see deck card if you held atleast 1 deck card

[quaint wedge]

it's good for thinning out your deck if you're trying to play a specific hand

[polar oyster]

intresting

[strange trail]

why tf do i have mcdonalds now

welp

[quaint wedge]

the m cards are kinda their own archetype

they revolve around jolly jokers and giving the jolly status to jokers

[hard plank]

time to get a job

[vagrant pike]

funnily enough i actually found a custom deck creator mod, but that just straight up crashes the game. debug seems to work

[strong obsidian]

This happened to me.

[amber river]

straight up judging it rn

[polar oyster]

hmm i had simular idea in my head, but it was bad: Add poly, holo or foil for every purchased joker. 1 in 4 chance destroy joker instead

[fathom gust]

bitch lied to me

[balmy lily]

abseloutely safe capsule vs abseloutely unsafe plant

[fathom gust]

FUCK OFF IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE ASC WORK 😭

progress is going great

[latent crescent]

not bad looking badge

[prisma latch]

this still has to be one of my best card arts of all time

i love it

[polar oyster]

wait appeat this joker from soul if you dont have any stone cards

[prisma latch]

no. its never too late to stone pivot

i dont care if you've already got a good build going without any stone cards. if you get runerigus its time to pop some fucking arcana packs

[polar oyster]

if you have good build better pick is judgment /c

[past lava]

me with my stone deck

[distant badge]

a fool's ransom

👍

[hollow wasp]

Guys can I get some help from someone who knows about the cryptid mod

[prisma latch]

yayyy this works now

[hollow wasp]

Does anyone know if selling pot of jokes takes the hand sizes away

[prisma latch]

id assume it does

[hollow wasp]

Uhhh

[misty vine]

no shot

i downloaded mods

and my first good run

is a damn photochad run

i cant escape it

[keen knoll]

its like some kind of cloverpit

[formal orchid]

without the pit

[fathom gust]

uh oh.

YOU CANT FORCE LOSE AT ALL

[hollow wasp]

Lmao

[ornate bone]

True

That does go hard

"FROM THIS POINT ON.... I AM AT YOUR CONTROL"

his shiny will obviously be his player 2 colors

[unkempt current]

does this look good

i think the x is pretty smal

[stark hare]

Buggy Joker
-# Common

^8 Mult on first hand of round

[unkempt current]

the red one

[stark hare]

-# (it doesn’t work)

[past lava]

you should've made it so it crashes the game

[unkempt current]

this looks nice
im happy with this

[lavish pike]

Seems pretty op, depends on how you use that I guess

[unkempt current]

mmm true

should've set the level up thing to some sort of decimal

[balmy lily]

and theres a extremely rare upgrade ticket which makes it actually work

[lavish pike]

Or maybe make it a new set of consumables, I think it is all in jest that has planets that only give chips or mult to hands, so why not do some for the purple multiplier?

[unkempt current]

oh also fac (the purple multiplier) is supposed to go up by 1 on all hands

which seems a bit op

[prisma latch]

checking the credits page for balatro goes kino to see if i can shamelessly steal its ui code and getting jumpscared when i remember that im in the credits for kino lmao

[unkempt current]

maybe 0.1 should do?

[lavish pike]

Go test it

And then if it is too op, make it lower

Otherwise increase it

I couldn’t imagine localthunk getting every value correct first try

[unkempt current]

makes sense

should also note that fac values on jokers should be similar to xmult

why are the flames so squished

[unkempt current]

Oh i didn't see this
Hmm this is a very good idea
But I don't feel like drawing and coding more stuff, so global levels should be enough for now

[lavish pike]

K

[stark hare]

my mod barely even uses ^

[balmy lily]

thats why i

its without 🧌

[hollow tide]

wrong spot my bad

[prisma latch]

working on credits and by working on i mean stealing from kino

[plush hound]

im kinda proud of mine

[prisma latch]

wow thats much better

can i steal iwait why is nxkoo censored

nxkoo. why are you censored

[woven crag]

The files

[prisma latch]

the Huh

[plush hound]

the files

[plush hound]

sure

[tawdry grove]

question

balatro keeps crashing in multiplayer

cryptid plus multiplayer

[wanton rapids]

talisman issue

[tawdry grove]

any advice?

[past lava]

the nxkoo files

[tawdry grove]

how do i fix

[forest knoll]

use amulet

instead of talisman

[tawdry grove]

ok

will it work? cause talisman is a dependency

do i uninstall talisman and install amulet?

[forest knoll]

yes

amulet provides talisman

i wouldn't have suggested something if it didn't work lmao

[tawdry grove]

ok

[frigid mica]

Blindside be like

looks inside

Uhh…

[tawdry grove]

hmm i tried to launch a single player run and it shot an error

[frigid mica]

What’s the equivalent of a photochad in Blindside

[forest knoll]

oh amulet just refuses to interact with multiplayer
i was not aware of that, my bad

[tawdry grove]

anyone have any sujestions?

[forest knoll]

you're unfortunately gonna have to pick between multiplayer and cryptid (or just avoid whatever caused the first crash)

[tawdry grove]

oh

sad

[prisma latch]

fuck it im adding fusion jokers compat to my mod for the bit

[rain orbit]

Skul

[plush hound]

@dusty token no MP support for Amulet?

[tawdry grove]

is there something else that can fix it?

[plush hound]

like they said, you gotta pick

[forest knoll]

hiii niko

[tawdry grove]

dang ok

[past lava]

now we need the blindside version of this

[rain orbit]

Who pingeded me

[plush hound]

halooooo metaaaaaa

[past lava]

me

[rain orbit]

Ok

[prisma latch]

oh my god jokerfusions adds 16 jokers. it fucks up my perfect collection pages

[balmy lily]

the misprint R5(rarity 5) upgrade would probaly be F25

[past lava]

haha

[forest knoll]

how've you been
i released a remix earlier today :3

[balmy lily]

or would that be R4(legendary n friends)

[prisma latch]

it would be stupid to make my mod fill the collection with padding to keep the pages intact. however

i also am i stupid

[frigid mica]

What a beautiful late January 2026

Cold Beans is almost Done

[forest knoll]

no, like
just music
i sent the youtube link in clams and entropy art channels earlier today :3

[prisma latch]

would you guys be annoyed if you were playing a mod and it did this
ill prolly just try and find a way to make it immediately move to the next page when it reaches my mods jokers

[forest knoll]

today's been pretty lazy but i'm doin alright overall

[plush hound]

oh i misread the remix 😭

[plush hound]

thats good to heaarrr! ^^ 🫂

[forest knoll]

glad you're doing well too

[plush hound]

im just sleepy but i need to finish Tangents update and Bad Director stuff

i have 2 mods to maintain

😭

[rain orbit]

Can it be 3

||/j||

[past lava]

and i'm back with my new mod geode
play my mod once it comes out

[forest knoll]

I've still gotta figure out the UI shit for [redacted], I've been procrastinating on it for a while lmao

[plush hound]

it will be 3

[plush hound]

right, that mod, i still need to work on that 😭

take your time tho

[formal orchid]

play my mod

[celest valve]

yall know my WIP mod thats MEANT to be boring and OP af?

well it got a new name, icon, joker, bla bla bla whatever, etc

joker

its a combination of every joker in the mod and its supposed to represent the entirety

it does uh

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^14043 Chips, ^^^^^^^^^^^46734 Mult, +$92

[rain orbit]

Screw amulet you're gonna need the nobel prize to calculate that

[celest valve]

i just use talisman and it gets the score across just fine, yet weirdly

[frigid mica]

All my problems have disappeared when StoneGolemLover and Aphi DM’d me and told me

The big Jen is back in town

[kindred pecan]

we are all back

[dire meadow]

guys can someone inform me of the... Polterworx situtation 😨 !!!

[prisma latch]

the polterworx situation is crazy

Oh is polterworx is coming back?

[formal orchid]

pwx is back and running

[formal orchid]

[unkempt current]

[unkempt current]

Ah I can't wait to see those yummy epic blinds as I go through the antes with my pentational jokers

[prisma latch]

so are we all just like

cool with the asset theft now

[unkempt current]

.

[celest valve]

was that a comment to the fact that i have a decapentational joker in my mod

[past lava]

dear lord

[celest valve]

yeah its the combined value of all jokers in my mod currently, updates with each new one added

[woven orchid]

oxy in modding chat wtf

hi oxy

[wanton rapids]

i mean if they still havent removed the stolen stuff then thats incredibly shitty

[dire meadow]

who

[woven orchid]

i was under the impression that they were removed during the mods original lifespan

and people just held onto it

i could be wrong but that's what i thought

[stark hare]

oh nice

it ain’t my favorite mod ever but it’s cool it’s coming back

Might lowkeyingly make an art for it or two

[plush hound]

i think they did

replace those arts with someone else's art with consent

[forest knoll]

i know at least the homestuck oc was removed basically as soon as he was made aware of the lack of permission

[dire meadow]

dude

who tf are we talknig about

[forest knoll]

jen

the original creator of polterworx

[plush hound]

im over here ideating

[wanton rapids]

Steeel

[plush hound]

right

😭

[dire meadow]

keep it lke that

forever

this is how it must be

[woven orchid]

what if you did asGla

so that people dont make an overused joke about

[plush hound]

haha ass card

😭

[dire meadow]

not freaky enough for nxkoo

[woven orchid]

you people are worthy of death

[wanton rapids]

am i one of you people

[plush hound]

my own mechanic, ass card

[dire meadow]

jaja opengl card

[woven orchid]

haha glsl card

[dire meadow]

haha glass card

[forest knoll]

glsl edition: 1 in 4 chance to crash because the shader name variable wasn't used in the shader code, 1 in 4 chance to crash because the shader expected an argument that wasn't passed to it

[dire meadow]

1 in 4 chance to crash because fuck you

[woven orchid]

screenshader merged some day

[wanton rapids]

i need to check out screenshader

[frigid mica]

AssGL?? OPENGL IS NOW OBSOLETE???

[woven orchid]

its super powerful if youre competence

[plush hound]

AssGL

[forest knoll]

canvassprite merged
in 5 million years

[plush hound]

my ass isnt open

[frigid mica]

Am so happy the big jen is back

Uhh

[wanton rapids]

canvassprite is fire as well

[frigid mica]

What’s aqualatro

[woven orchid]

screenshader is like 175 lines please

[frigid mica]

Aquarium

[woven orchid]

canvassprite i could also use heavily

[frigid mica]

Acquisition

Aqua library

[woven orchid]

impeccable genius

[forest knoll]

a couple of days ago ruby showed me something cool she was planning to do with canvassprite (one of those slay the spire? jokers but the text on the sprite actually updated as the joker values did)

[wanton rapids]

oh yeah that one

[woven orchid]

you know if you press the right buttons on your phone keyboard it wont autocorrect

[wanton rapids]

yeah its sts

[woven orchid]

yes thats also really cool

[dire meadow]

why don't they just merge all pull requests

[wanton rapids]

it seems to have helped ice a lot with counters too which is nice

[dire meadow]

are they tupd ?

[frigid mica]

Ice?

[woven orchid]

can we get more people to review PR's

[frigid mica]

What kind of Ice?

[woven orchid]

the trio is not the most active ever and The Forbidden One is evil

[forest knoll]

i actually did the counters stuff first, ported it to a general smods PR afterward
but yea the counters/high roller dice/etc use case was the original purpose

[forest knoll]

the creator of Balatro Goes Kino and the Blockbuster API mods

[frigid mica]

oh that ice

[dire meadow]

new smods release tommorow

[plush hound]

theres rarity param in voucher?

🤔

[blissful stag]

JOHN POLTERWORX IS BACK..?

Im gonna delete all my forum posts again since im just gonna mash them into one mod now

[latent crescent]

Weak?

[blissful stag]

Make it every blind

$40 max (without negatives/black deck) of sell value after beating the game already is redundant

[plush hound]

every blind is T2

[blissful stag]

Ehhh

[normal hollow]

is this space here visible in most screens and/or used by another mod?

[dusty token]

no

yet

[plush hound]

used by another mod?

probably just BlindPreview

visible tho?

i guess?

[normal hollow]

damn i dont usethat

hmm

[prisma latch]

👍

hodge the podge will have cross the mod

sleeves, fusionjokers, kino, partner and maybe aikoshen i think is my plan

[main path]

Interesting way to let the player know that crossmod content exists
I like it

[plush hound]

can i steal this

[prisma latch]

yeah

is this not like

something people have thought of

[plush hound]

not alot of people did anyways, shouldnt be a problem, worst case scenario you just put a warning

[prisma latch]

it felt like a no brainer to me that crossmod jokers should look locked if you dont have the mod

[plush hound]

most mods just dont make the content appears at all

[prisma latch]

thats boring

[plush hound]

it only appears when you have that mod

[prisma latch]

how are they meant to know it exists

[plush hound]

yeah

exactly

[prisma latch]

since this method already required faking the locked sprite i might make custom locked sprites for each mod i add crossmod with

[normal hollow]

mine is not locked it just changes description

[neon urchin]

@plush hound im so fucking boooorrrreed!!!! im so bored im GOING TO EXPLODE……

[latent crescent]

did king:explode()

[neon urchin]

yeah

[plush hound]

dont die

[neon urchin]

im not gnna die

im just gnna be exploded

i would play modded balatro but like. it feels like the exact same gameplay loop no matter what mod.

im so bored i COULD die. but im not gnna die bc i will explode instead

[plush hound]

try POLTERWORX

[neon urchin]

is that a mod

[past lava]

no

[neon urchin]

ok

oh it exploded

back when

just like me

IN A FEE SECONDS

AHHHH

im going to blow

[past lava]

no it just never existed
polterworx wasn't real

[neon urchin]

ok

[normal hollow]

where should i put this? there should normally only be one of those when a boss blind is active but im trying to have some extensibility in case i want to add more or another mod does

[normal hollow]

#⚙・modding-off-topic

[neon urchin]

ok

[past lava]

no no
this is on topic

[normal hollow]

no

[hard plank]

did i just wake up to pwx coming back

[normal hollow]

happy birthday

[blissful stag]

This implies I would have to end up making polterworx crossmod content

[wanton rapids]

no it doesnt

[blissful stag]

Yes it does

Probably just gonna make one that gives tou like ^^^^^^^^^^^67 mult or some shit

[latent crescent]

Its cryptoposting typeof crossmod

[main path]

Maybe add a toggle somewhere on screen that can toggle the blind effect visibilty?
Yeah theres not much space left to put stuff 😭

Or you could just split into a bajillion cases but thats not ideal

[latent crescent]

I need consider returning back to thefamily, probably rebuild from scratch and use custom ui more agressively

[normal hollow]

i dont want to add more buttons 😭

[umbral pilot]

lovely has had crossmod for ages

not sure what y'all's excuse is

[normal hollow]

i install all my mods directly into the .exe so i wouldnt know

[main path]

Yeah with the context of your mod its really hard to put it in a spot that wouldnt require an extra toggle to ensure visibility

[alpine cosmos]

woah what the fuck poltorworx is back

[main path]

Hmmm
Maybe do something when hovering over the blind sprite

[normal hollow]

without thefamily there are the extra deck and gy buttons plus the side deck as well in the next update

[normal hollow]

the blind sprite doesnt exist all the time

and this can have effects outside a round

[alpine cosmos]

put it in the corner where the tags are

[main path]

I think i did something similar
And i moved the tags positions
And then i realized that my tag positioning code was jank

[normal hollow]

thats where the tags are

:p

[woven orchid]

who even uses tags

[hard plank]

lily

[woven orchid]

hi

[hard plank]

tags...

[main path]

Okay no i cant think of any alternate positions for that thing

[normal hollow]

yeah i think people just need to play my mod standalone

i think people just need to play my mod

[blissful stag]

I wish I could duplicate myself

[main path]

Tbf its a really huge mod with mechanics that depend on cards from within the mod
So its better when played by itself contentwise

[normal hollow]

yeah im just worried that people wont be able to play qol mods with it

im probably making a config to disable that instead of a button

[worn dagger]

We have a dnd sword named “Jeff” and my friend has killed over 200 things with it in the 1-2 years we’ve played since we got it

[main path]

Also
Macro cosmos with an effect that applies across the ante
Theres potential to be really evil with its effect

Imagine, imperial order as a showdown

[fathom gust]

the sword named "The Cosmic Collapse of the Absolute Universe" can just BARELY get by the most basic of enemies...

[normal hollow]

this is the actual effect

[fathom gust]

but some sword named "h" can just

kill everyone

[sleek crown]

whats the play here

im a flush only player

[hard plank]

the play is to play my mod

[main path]

Im assuming you have systems in place to prevent effects that need to send cards to gy to activate as cost from being activatable?
Or do effects that send stuff to GY just fizzle

[hard plank]

stupid fucking pull tab covering the send button

[normal hollow]

there's no send to the gy as cost, it just makes it so any card sold/destroyed/tributed/send by effect is just not sent

this already uses the effect

[hard plank]

😵‍💫

i can't read

[main path]

So a card that would be sent to gy from joker slots just stays in joker slots instead

Hmmm

[normal hollow]

no

it is destroyed like normal

[main path]

Ah so it just stops existing balatro style

[normal hollow]

its not like ygo where a card needs to be sent, it just acts like a non-joyousspring joker

[main path]

I should check and see if any new archetypes were added to joyous spring

Since the last time i played it

[normal hollow]

the last set was added in july 😭

i really just didnt do anything lol

[main path]

😭

[hard plank]

n

it's been 6 months

😭

[normal hollow]

:3

there are two now

(the right one is a different mechanic)

does the right one look better without the shadow too

or maybe a closer shadow

[hard plank]

revo

is that doomsday stake

[formal orchid]

yes

i made a stake that applies every stake

[hard plank]

i mean

doomsday stake applies netherite stake which itself applies gold stake and steam stake

[formal orchid]

but there are 3 other mods' stakes applied

[hard plank]

i can kinda tell yeah

[formal orchid]

kinda

[hard plank]

also it seems to have applied my inner and outer stake

[winged prism]

Wtf looking at that screenshot feels like I booted up the collage modpack

[formal orchid]

yes

[haughty pier]

thoughts?

[winged prism]

X1 per card 🤔

[haughty pier]

i keep on flipping back and forth on lowering it

on one hand x1 is alot, on the other it disables all joker interactions with the disabled card

[formal orchid]

damn

[winged prism]

Well with a good enough +Mult Joker you can just play fully debuffed hands anyway, so maybe lower?

[haughty pier]

mm true

does x0.5 sound good then?

[past lava]

atleast you get a one dollar joker
