[WIP] Balatro Archived: The Mod

[hazy hinge]

This mod is to bring back older versions of objects while keeping their current ones in tact. If you wish to contribute, let me know.

Note: This is separate from the other Balatro Archive Project I’m doing. If you want to know about “Balatro Archived”, let me know in DMs. If you want to know more about the mod, put them here.

Foil, Holo, and Polychrome have been readded. Currently using a texture and not the effect itself.

[craggy rapids]

looks very interesting

[craggy rapids]

«older versions of objects»
what does this mean?

[hazy hinge]

Like… Gros Michel would have a card for it’s 0.9.3 version, its 0.8.8 version, and its 1.0.0 version

As an example

[craggy rapids]

I wasn't in demos, so I have mo clue what are talking about :(

[hazy hinge]

Okay, so i’m putting the demo versions in release

Make more sense?

[craggy rapids]

you adding cards in their original states?

before balance patches and all

[hazy hinge]

Yup, alongside their modern counterparts

[craggy rapids]

What are these decks then?

They were in demo version?

[hazy hinge]

Yes

They were cut from the game before release. I’ve been doing research

[craggy rapids]

Wierd, I felt like the game is lacking cotent, so strange to cut stuff before release

this is not the first time I hear about stuff being cut from release version

I hope these will be brought back into official with future dlcs

Good job tho!

[hazy hinge]

Thanks.

[hazy hinge]

Progress will be slow until Reshuffled is complete

[cosmic sentinel]

looking forward to this!

[bold scaffold]

i kinda wonder how you will handle the different versions in terms of differentiating them
im the most interested in the decks regardless though

[hazy hinge]

The name of the card will have the version in the title (no matter what)

Earliest version with an art change will have just the art

Any art after (or matching their current [1.0.0L] version) will have a “sticker” in the corner with the earliest version it’s from

[bold scaffold]

good to know

[hazy hinge]

I still need to figure out how to reimplement Silver’s exact effect

[bold scaffold]

crimson why are you making 3 mods at the same time

[hazy hinge]

Because I'm insane

Balatro Reshuffled's almost done, Archived is gonna replace it

[hazy hinge]

Welp I did it

[hazy hinge]

Note: With old decks, I may do something different for the card backs

Example: Checkered and Green Card having custom backs

[dark frost]

i know from a video that the house used to be no full houses

and i think there was also one that was no flushes

[hazy hinge]

Oh trust me, there's a LOT

Like The Fool allows you to disable the boss blind

[dark frost]

also wheel of fortune used to be 1 in 5 i think

[hazy hinge]

Thanks to someone, there's now another braided deck I have to find

[tawny igloo]

foil and holographic got changed to 5 and 3 cards, as you can see in the trailer on steam page btw

[hazy hinge]

👍

I'll make custom versions of them (somehow)

I'm making different backs for people to not get confused

I could just do "Braided Deck 0.8.6b" then "Braided Deck 0.?.?" with the same back

but eh, I'll make a custom one and put the origiinal in the description

[tawny igloo]

flip it upside down or something LOL

would be pretty cursed

[hazy hinge]

I was gonna do 1/2 things

1. Change the back color

2. Give it a different border color

Like this

or this

(those are just examples)

[tawny igloo]

this is prob better

[hazy hinge]

But yeah, as of right now 0.8.6's decks are done

my only problem right now

I'm using straight textures for foil/poly/Holo

okay, so now i gotta find which version has the updated holo/foil and figure out how to holographic stuff

probably gonna change the enhancements temporarily and use the debug menu

[hazy hinge]

Something I just noticed

This is different

Also I think it's only fair add the Letters as stuff

It looks like all suits are here

Except Diamonds

Okay I see it's going in a pattern I think

What rank is this!?

No joke it looks like it's actually ! of hearts

[hazy hinge]

So yeah, As weird as it is, The letter cards will be added for ranks

Might do something like "Balatro Archived Plus: An expansion to Archived"

[bold scaffold]

!

[hazy hinge]

is that what it is in the corner?

[bold scaffold]

idk too pixelated to see

[bold scaffold]

there's too much of a gap for that to be a 1 has to be a !

[candid canyon]

! of hearts is so funny

[hazy hinge]

How the hell am i gonna do ! Of suit!?

[candid canyon]

catch me running flush five ! of hearts

[hazy hinge]

Lol

[candid canyon]

i like to imagine if you try to change the suit it doesn't work because those haven't been shown

[hazy hinge]

Well there are alphabets of all suits (Diamonds and hearts look similar in LQ)

[candid canyon]

i see

[hazy hinge]

Just thought something though

For Archived Plus, a deck called ABCs

Or Alphabet book

You get each letter per suit

[ornate rivet]

the letter cards were never in the game though

[hazy hinge]

It counts

People will bring cut and non-game content to other things so as long as it’s Balatro and part of something official, it counts

I could probably just add it to Archived Plus if you’re concerned about it

[hazy hinge]

Just finished all A-Z + !

[hazy hinge]

Why no ?, Jumbo Numbers, other symbols? And why letters that don’t appear?

Letters are simple. If You expect Y, J, and K to have letters with the alphabet being 2x 13 rows, you really think the opportunity should be passed up?

As for numbers… Come on. 2-10.

And for other symbols like question mark, period, comma, and such? I don’t have them because Unlike the letters. You can’t really confirm letters

For scoring, as creative as having their scrabble score would be, they were pre-numbered and corresponding similar rank

So they will score like their original counterpart in terms of chips, but not in rank

! Will score as 12 chips, one above ace

So yeah A/N score the same point wise

So yes… a “FUCK!” Flush = 7 + 9 + 4 + 10 + 12 = 42 chips, then + 35 chips for the flush making it 77 chips x 4 mult with no jokers = 308 chips, which could one-shot the blind

[ornate rivet]

A not being an ace is really annoying

[hazy hinge]

Blame thunk

But yeah

“Alphabet Soup”
Joker - Common
+4 Mult per Letter card played.

[ornate rivet]

isn't that guaranteed +20 mult with this deck?

[hazy hinge]

With alphabet deck, yes

[ornate rivet]

vowels as the fibonnaci for this deck??

[hazy hinge]

Y only gets a 1/2 chance

[candid canyon]

import the scrabble dictionary and add a joker with X3 mult for spelling a word (i'm joking about this)

[hazy hinge]

I know you're joking but that'd be insane

But my gosh this is gonna be insane for making ranks

I'll have to make it so that when you strength Ace, it stays going to 2 and that if you strength Z, you go back to A, and strength on ! stays at !

[bold scaffold]

then you're gonna love this on the store page on how they are all slightly wrong

[dark frost]

ah, back when 8 ball was purple

[hazy hinge]

Why is Ceremonial knife blue

Is there a different effect?

[bold scaffold]

idk it was on the store page so probably just older designs

could've been like what they did with 8ball where they changed the effect so they also changed the joker or something

might've originally been chips or something

[tawny igloo]

I think it's blue when negative

but there it's without a shader so Idk

or it used to be blue when negative in the demo? I don't remember anymore 😭

[hazy hinge]

I’ll probably do demo texture pack separate from additions and optional

[candid canyon]

this is evil, why do they look like that

[hazy hinge]

Alright heads up all. You wanna help on the project, I’ll tell ya how.

I’ll need people to scan through the games/discord/videos for old content and lmk the source.

I’m gonna comb through steamdb to see if i can find a changelog to make it smoother

[stable vapor]

i think the dagger used to have a blue aura instead of green, that looks like a normal dagger

[celest berry]

secret planet card for "FUCK!" flush's

[hazy hinge]

lol no. not trying to have people do that lol

https://steamdb.info/app/2460470/patchnotes/

Foudn the patchnotes on 0.8.3 - 0.8.7

Alsao, not much on patch notes after that unless we go to #1155929522361880636

Stuff like 0.8.8, I'll have to look personally

plus look in specific stuff

exclamation point spotted again

[hazy hinge]

SON OF A-

I STILL CAN'T TELL WHAT THAT PIP INDEX IS

Wait a minute

Why didn't I see this sooner

[hazy hinge]

I'm an idiot, it can't be a 1

The 1 on the 10 there is written like this

Sure, the final game uses this 1 for a 10 but why use two different versions of a 1 for promo art?

[south notch]

It looks like the ranks use m6x11 in the promo art too

So the rank of ! is probably !

[hazy hinge]

it's gotta be

[south notch]

The suits also look different

[ornate rivet]

1! is also 1

[hazy hinge]

THe suit is a heart, no doubts about it

[south notch]

nvm, looks like it matches the one here

Idk why I thought the in game suit was wider

[hazy hinge]

Alright, then the alphabet is done art-wise

[hushed wyvern]

Think knife would just add the sell value, not double the sell value

could be wrong

[stable vapor]

old knife (sept demo, still green) used to add only the sell cost of the joker to the mult, not double

[hazy hinge]

I’ll have to look if any of the versions i have

Oh

[stable vapor]

the blue knife is really old art of idk version cuz i never played anything past sept demo

[hazy hinge]

Could be a simple graphical glitch so idk

Unless it’s in the video

[stable vapor]

i doubt that

imma dig around

[hazy hinge]

I say that because planets and tarots are extremely off

In the video it’s fine but the gif shows a red overlay almost

Like it took away greens

[stable vapor]

in very old version of balatro, planets were more grey (source: GothicLordUK’s second Balatro Video, version 0.8.3c)

interesting to see that dagger was green at this version

blue knife must be really old

[hazy hinge]

The earliest build I know is public IS 0.8.3

[stable vapor]

wait does that mean you have to recreate the planetarium tarot reading thing?

🤔 s

[hazy hinge]

if it was from a beta I can get my hands on, yes

[stable vapor]

cool

[hazy hinge]

Yeah, I have the textures, as 0.8.6c has them too

[stable vapor]

cool

[hazy hinge]

Also soul is gonna be insane to get in this as you have twice the chance due to one being just a tarot and the other as a spectral

[stable vapor]

and fool being a thing

[hazy hinge]

Yup

[stable vapor]

(unless you get the chicot fool)

🤔

[hazy hinge]

Btw, fool was completely different

I forced the code to unlock all cards in 0.86 (i usually remove the other period)

[stable vapor]

ik

hence why i said “Chicot Fool” (boss disabler version )

[hazy hinge]

But yeah, hoping to get some people in on this like with ortalab and Reshuffled

[stable vapor]

how’s Ortalab going btw

[hazy hinge]

idk, i haven't checked in a bit

but considering people are already putting jokers in, seems like it's going well

[stable vapor]

ye

i contributed in making the four sinful joker reverses

[hazy hinge]

nice

[stable vapor]

accidentally one-up ed someone else who was working on it though 😅

[hazy hinge]

My goal first is to do OG archived first

before getting too crazy into modded archive

[stable vapor]

we ended up combining art

[hazy hinge]

That way I can write every effect down

[stable vapor]

using jokers from my cards and the bg from the other, they looked awesome in the end

[hazy hinge]

Still needs the proper effects on the back but oh well

I can work with something

But now Holo, Poly, and Foil decks have their shiny text

[low topaz]

archiving a game is cool asf

never thought of that

nice work 👍

[violet obsidian]

@hazy hinge I'm very very late to this, and would need time to go over what I have but there were at some point in development 2 vouchers, Pattern and Tesslation. They had assets in one of the demos. Those slots got replaced by paintbrush and palette, although it isn't exactly clear if they did the same thing.

[stable vapor]

i cam affirm you that they did not

pattern spawns your most used tarot overall
tessellation spawns your most used joker overall

(both very bad and terrible deals)

[violet obsidian]

That's what i thought, just didn't have the details

[hazy hinge]

I have the code for those in the betas i have. Thanks for heads up

Same with Silver Spoon & Heirloom which is an OLDER voucher that was replaced with Blank and Anti-matter

[violet obsidian]

Okay I got the code too just wasnt sure if you knew

:D

good luck

[glacial ravine]

is this mod for balamod?

btw very epic mod

[hazy hinge]

This mod is for Steamodded

However, if someone wants to port to Balamod, I would allow it

[glacial ravine]

fortune teller old texture looks awesome

[glacial ravine]

M

[low topaz]

these challenges all seem very fun

[jaunty basin]

does the '!' card score n! chips, where n is some number based on your current hand? 😛

[simple linden]

if nobody has done it yet i did the jokershttps://github.com/UppedHealer8521/Ogtextures/releases/tag/texturepack

[jaunty basin]

is 0.8.8 the earliest version that can be pulled from steam backend using depot shenanigans (i.e. the earliest build that's on the main depot and not on the now-discontinued balatro playtest depot)?

[simple linden]

idk

i just figured out how to

and idk theres that much of a difference from 0.8.8 and 0.0.6

it looks good anyway

[simple linden]

If i can get an older version ill try that one

[jaunty basin]

oldest version is 0.8.6b, i just checked; to see the manifestid of stuff that old you have to log in to steamdb though

everything older than that was on the now-lost playtest depot 😦

[simple linden]

well i got 0.8.8

so thats good

better then nothing

[simple linden]

im trying on the abilities now but kinda just postponed bc im doing stuff rn

[jaunty basin]

I can't share any files due to server rules (I assume), but its not hard to get the oldest build using open source depot downloader tools

[simple linden]

dm me fiiles if you want

what u trying to send?

[hazy hinge]

This is unrelated.

Sure it’s old textures in modern, but what does it have to do with Archived specifically?

[simple linden]

would you have rather me just send the texture file instead?

[hazy hinge]

I was just wondering is all. I have older versions myself.

Would be good though

[hazy hinge]

Heads up. Gonna have to go out of order for archiving versions

https://reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1bpq1bp/update_from_thunk/

1.01 is on the horizon

1.01 would essentially add at most 50 items from 1.00 (because i know i can’t add EVERYTHING)

If i could figure out how to add stuff like stakes, i would add NG+(+++)

[hazy hinge]

Update: 1.0.0n's Jokers are all listed with effect

Preview of how the document works

I will mention things like raritiy or art changes

[native blade]

Excellent to see a project like this being undertaken.

[hazy hinge]

I'd take any assistance in it but even if it's just myself, that's fine

[native blade]

I'm afraid there's little I can offer; I'm just a musician and MIDI SYSEX programmer.

[hazy hinge]

Alright I got to ask. With the old Card art, should the original version of the art be when it first was implemented or the last time it was implemented.

(Example: If Card art was used from 0.8.6 - 0.8.8, should the original white bordered version be for 0.8.6 or 0.8.8?)

[abstract lichen]

last

[hazy hinge]

White Border on Earliest: 🅰️
White Border on Latest: 🅱️

[stable vapor]

first i think, as in "first implemented since <version>

[hazy hinge]

I'm making a bunch of jokers and skipping the exact sames

For now I'll use the same art for every version and check this once the day passes

[abstract lichen]

👍

[hazy hinge]

(btw, if a card only has art changes, nothing will change)

[raw tendon]

is there a download or is it still in works ?

[hazy hinge]

it is VERY in the works

#1214967538585174077 message

[hazy hinge]

Alright, so the first releases will have the original art then added borders over time until an effect change with new art

And same with naming for same effects before the update

Like eight ball. The earliest for tarots I saw was 0.8.6b

It'll stay that

[hazy hinge]

Oh boy, this is gonna be nuts

I gotta add a new seal

and it's pretty crazy

Gold Seal (0.8.6b) - returns to hand when played

0.86b Green Deck Added

With a custom card back too

[ornate rivet]

is that actually what it was?

[hazy hinge]

For checkered? Yes

And Green Deck was -$1 for rerolls

Did a slight different card art for beta Nebula

[hazy hinge]

You can tell the magic deck lol

[hazy hinge]

Archived now adds 10 decks, mostly beta versions of other decks

[muted topaz]

lol why all these separate init functions

[hazy hinge]

Because it was easier for me

I'll try to make it all in one function down the line

[simple linden]

r u gonna do blacks deck brutal -1 hand and -1 discard

[hazy hinge]

it works exactly as the deck would in the 0.8.6 beta

[ornate rivet]

black deck (& blue stake)

[muted topaz]

fuck no

[hazy hinge]

I'm now gonna work on combining into one INIT function

[ornate rivet]

having different functions is more searchable(?)

[hazy hinge]

Or at least closed beta, open beta, and release inits For decks

[muted topaz]

it's just that with multiple inits you know nothing about the order they're loaded in, in case that ever matters

the loader can only ever check for added values after each mod is loaded

[hazy hinge]

Wait random question

if I do -- Text

will it register in the code or will it actually block off?

Because I could put the init for decks in one, then -- Closed Beta (0.8.6b - 0.8.8)

Then I can do one for Open Beta (0.9.0I - ???)

Then Release (1.0.0 - Current)

and then unfortunately I'm gonna need an "Other" tab for stuff like the steam page

[muted topaz]

that's just comments

doesn't mess with code

[hazy hinge]

ok good

Doing this right, right?

oh well, I'll try it later

[muted topaz]

I recommend not calling your init function Decks

[hazy hinge]

it's temporary name

It's actually gonna be ArchivedDecks

Or ArchivedDeck

[muted topaz]

fifth arg is meant to be decks_def.X i think

idk where you even define Decks

otherwise seems alright

[hazy hinge]

ok

It's working so far, so that's good

Look how cool that is

[muted topaz]

cool

[hazy hinge]

Every duplicate Archived deck will have its own deck back

[glacial ravine]

try to make old crystall ball

so you choose 2 tarot cards every time you select blind

[gilded spade]

could you scrape the code off of the beta for that or no?

[south notch]

The only issue is 0.9.0 beta code is obfuscated

[jaunty basin]

0.9.0r on the mac depot is not obfuscated (its the only 0.9.0 version that isn't)

0.9.0o on both pc and mac depot is obfuscated/encrypted though

[hazy hinge]

I don't know which depot that is

also yeah

idk the difference between 1.0.0e-debug and 1.0.0e

[hazy hinge]

Okay whatever the earliest mac version is, it's not 0.9.0

[jaunty basin]

Hold on

@hazy hinge (the mac version which is not obfuscated) its version: 0.9.0r-debug app: 2379780 depot: 2379782 manifest: 501262344362751557

your 0.8.6 directory is probably properly 0.8.6b; the earlier versions didn't use a separate version file for the version number, it was embedded in the globals definitions

[hazy hinge]

yeah it's 0.8.6b

I am in search for anyone with earlier versions though

[jaunty basin]

@hazy hinge steam has (on the pc depot side) 0.8.6b, 0.8.6c(3 manifests with this version#), 0.8.7, 0.8.7b, 0.9.0l-demo(obfuscated), 0.9.0o-demo(obfuscated), 0.9.3b-demo, 1.0.0e-DEBUG, 1.0.0e-FULL(3 manifests with this version#), 1.0.0f-FULL, 1.0.0h-FULL(3 manifests with this version#), 1.0.0i-FULL, 1.0.0j-FULL, 1.0.0k-FULL(3 manifests with this version#, one on the public_test branch), 1.0.0l-FULL, 1.0.0m-FULL(on the public_test branch), 1.0.0n-full(2 manifests with this version#)

[glacial ravine]

i like balatro archived mod

[hazy hinge]

Send 1 manifest id for 0.8.6c and the one for 0.8.7b if you can please

[jaunty basin]

steam has (on the mac depot side) 0.9.0o-demo(obfuscated, 2 manifests with this version#), 0.9.0r-debug, 1.0.0l-FULL, 1.0.0m-FULL(on the public_experiment branch), 1.0.0n-FULL(2 manifests with this version#)

that's literally all of the versions I have, and their manifest ids are part of the filenames.

[hazy hinge]

i see

[jaunty basin]

... wait, i forgot to mark what version the pc version released on march 8th is, one sec

its a second release of 1.0.0n-FULL

the "balatro for testers" appid/depot stuff, which i don't have access to, had versions like 0.8.3 etc, and was from june 1st 2023 or thereabouts

[hazy hinge]

If only i could contact someone for it

Unfortunately i don’t think anyone could

Best i could do is maybe find videos on these versions

[jaunty basin]

well, you could look on the reddit thread where the beta testing was happening (or into the deep history of this discord which was created around that time), but assuming those people testing haven't already been locked out of that other appid/depot, they will need to run depotdownloader to grab those versions themselves

[hazy hinge]

True

But asking them to do so seems wrong at the same time especially for this server

[jaunty basin]

also true. (I suppose you could ask them on reddit, though)

Another, hail-mary option would be to simply ask localthunk/GoBrewYourself for access to that testing depot, although that runs the risk of them simply deleting it from steam entirely and/or asking the entire balatro archived project to please stop, so maybe not such a good idea.

judging by what i've seen of the pre 0.8.6 versions on the reddit posts by GoBrewYourself, one notable thing is the tarot cards and the consumables as a whole didn't even exist then. Heck, the tabs you get from skipping a blind were only added in 0.8.7 and we do have that version and the one before it...

[glacial ravine]

old vouchers gonna be in archived mod?

[jaunty basin]

like the silver/gold spoon?

those exist in 0.8.6x

[glacial ravine]

yea like magnet or spoon

or those gonna be in archived mod?

[jaunty basin]

One option that MAYBE LocalThunk/GoBrewYourself could be OK with would be to, using beta/steam branches, have various old versions selectable to download and run, similar to how the minecraft java launcher allows you to play various old versions

[glacial ravine]

oh so you mean like the long drive stuff becouse you can play old versions of the long drive by going to betas

[jaunty basin]

The only problem i see with that is they don't have playstack branding (only 1.0.x has that? and maybe 0.9.7?) AND old versions will clobber your savefile for the new version because the savefile just gets deleted if it has stuff in it the game doesn't recognize

the savefile issue could be fixed with some very minor patching, i'm not sure how the playstack thing could be dealt with though, since thats more a publisher/legal issue

[dreamy harness]

You can just make a copy of your savefile upon going to an older version and then paste it when you go back to present version or like with some patching from the dev as you indicated

[jaunty basin]

patching would be simple: just stick each "vintage" balatro version's savefile in a separate subdirectory within (on windows) %APPDATA%/Balatro

on mac i don't know where it puts your savefiles though

I'm guessing either in /home/useraccount/.balatro/<savefiles> or maybe it uses the more apple-specific means for storing per-app data

similar to how mobile apps do it

the way app storage works on modern devices is complex; i know SDL3 (which is under development) is adding a component to make it way easier and more portable; you have "title" storage which is read only (usually where DLC blobs live) and "user" storage which is read/write (where savegames live)

and those two storages are unique per app

hence isolated from the rest of the filesystem for security reasons

[glacial ravine]

why showman in 0.8.6b is named like this

[stable vapor]

because it was indeed named like this

then it got changed to showman cuz that name made more sense

[glacial ravine]

oh ok

[hazy hinge]

yes

[glacial ravine]

awesome

becouse i like the magnet or spoon

[hazy hinge]

Also despite being Showman in 1.0.0, since it technically has a different eff, Ring Master will be added as is

[glacial ravine]

isn't showman and ring master is same joker but diffrient name?

[hazy hinge]

Yes

I don't have to call it "Showman (0.8.6)"

[hazy hinge]

The only thing I have no idea on how to import would be the old "New Game Plus" stuff

[glacial ravine]

archived mod is better then old version becouse the newest version is smooth and you can see what played before playing it and more jokers

[hazy hinge]

Well yeah it'd be inherently better in some cases

[glacial ravine]

you can change showman name to ring master

[hazy hinge]

I'm not changing cards

I'm adding the old cards

[glacial ravine]

oh ok

[hazy hinge]

There we are, all in one function

And its in order too

I would like to remind everyone that foil, Holo, and Poly are textured backs and not the editioned backs like the original beta

idk how to do that yet

[hazy hinge]

Interesting thing about old balatro

Diamonds and clubs matched spades and hearts originally

Interesting...

Because there were no packs, there were Tarot Readings and Planetariums.

Level 1 gives you 2 cards of each for free and the upgraded give you 4

You get them through the vouchers for telescope/crystal ball

[jaunty basin]

0.9.3l and 0.9.3o - where did those come from? I don’t see them on Steam… same with 0.9.0q…

[south notch]

Demo

[hazy hinge]

They're from the demo and I had them already on my PC

[south notch]

I wonder if you will also add old glitches

[hazy hinge]

Some of them i used the depot downloader

[south notch]

Like white whale and ante skip using view deck

[hazy hinge]

I'm not un-fixing patches. if the glitches happen from cards being added, then they happen

You know what i forgot to do and I'm pissed i just realized it

I never wrote down the rarities of the jokers

or sell values

[south notch]

That’s big

[hazy hinge]

I literally only wrote down the effect

[south notch]

Remember 0.9.0 demo when Joker Stencil was rare and nerfed 😭

[hazy hinge]

Oh right, I need to also unlock everything in the demo

oh wait... encrypted

0.9.0 did that

[south notch]

It’s encrypted same way as save files, then the code is obfuscated

[hazy hinge]

Hang on

[hazy hinge]

SHIT

SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT

I'M NOT READY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSEOhXcMcng

THUNK IS MAKING MY JOB HARDER WITH 95 LINES OF PATCH NOTES

[muted topaz]

wait what

no more mad and clever jokers?

[hazy hinge]

• Changed Gold Stake random seeds - now ensures that the first Legendary Joker on that seed is a Joker that you have not won with on Gold Stake (For Completionist++ hunting)

• Changed To Do list - poker hand no longer changes on payout, always changes at end of round (won't get stuck on Straight Flush)

Clever Joker's getting the 2 pair thing too

[hazy hinge]

So yeah... AI think I'm gonna have to get more people on this down the line lol

[stable vapor]

rip family?

[hazy hinge]

dunno

[hazy hinge]

Welp

I'm gonna redo how I write my changes

If it has a new effect or changed effect, then i'll write that, but on top of that, it'll have stuff like changes to money or rarity, etc etc

Example

0.8.6b -> 0.8.7 does not change for costs/rarity/etc for Jokers

[gilded spade]

does this mod inlcude old/scrapped effects of jokers?

[hazy hinge]

Right now. No.

Will it? Yes

And they will be Unique cards

[stable vapor]

...

they were uncommon?

dayum that was hell-a underpowered at that version lmao

[hazy hinge]

Yup

They were uncommon AND had less mult

their only really good for baseball and even then they suck

For the rest of them, I'm just putting their base info in

no effects

I'll come back to it after

[stable vapor]

(baseball didn’t exist back then i think)

[south notch]

it didn't

[hazy hinge]

I know. I mean in the mod here

But yeah. The plan right now: Add the art and the jokers, then do effects

[gilded spade]

im coming home old wee jokerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

imagine old and new merry andy side by side

for some reason local loved +2

+2 drunkard +2 bus +2 abstract

[hazy hinge]

Oh geez

[gilded spade]

im making a list of the most powreful versions of Jokers lol

[hazy hinge]

Cool. I’m currently building 0.8.6 only atm. Each update will be a game update

[trail dawn]

Would you mind sharing the backs that you're using for the holo, poly, and foil decks? I know they're just flat image files at the moment, but I'd like to use them for my own personal mod.

[hazy hinge]

oh no they're not flat images anymore

so sure i'll send the old textures

https://github.com/XenoCHeart/Crimsons-Ultimate-Card-Collection/blob/main/Balatro Archived/assets/1x/Enhancers.png

if you share it, just mention where you got it from, K?

[urban orbit]

this is a cool project, is there any way i could help?

[hazy hinge]

Let's see... There's a few ways you can help.

1. Help find old versions. I have a bunch but I don't have ALL of them. For example: 0.8.6 (not 0.8.6b) and earlier, along with any additions like 0.8.7b, a potential 0.8.9, 0.9.1/2, etc
2. Compare old versions of Balatro to new versions.
3. Find additional content that may be found in non-game versions (For example, the trailers have variants of the Foil and Holo Deck from a version I don't know about)
4. Help me find/debug code in the earlier versions.

That's just some of them

but yeah, gathering data is the most important thing

[urban orbit]

not sure what else i was expecting but it shouldnt be too difficult to at least find 1 new thing

is there a list?

[hazy hinge]

Not a public one, but I'm legit going through the game and its code to find basically the names, rarity, cost, effect, and if it's blueprint compatible

Example:
0.8.6b - 0.8.7 - +4 Mult | Common | Cost: $3 | BluePrint: True

and that's for the default Joker

[urban orbit]

any panic regarding 1.0.1 or is that already under control?

[hazy hinge]

I'm coding in 1.0.0 but treating it like 1.0.1

After all, I'm only going one version at a time

It's mostly art-wise that I'm treating it like 1.0.1

[urban orbit]

0.8.6b is the first demo right

[hazy hinge]

0.8.3 is

0.8.6b is the earliest demo I can get my hands on (through steam's depot download)

[urban orbit]

i could potentially give info about 0.8.3

[hazy hinge]

Any info from then would be great

There were only 2 videos on it I can find

[urban orbit]

im fairly certain i know about more than 2 videos of gameplay of the first demo

[hazy hinge]

Aight. Also, if you can search around for anyone with any demo versions (obviously not just randomly asking here) then please send them over this way to help contribute as well

but yeah, if you can write down as much as you can, would be appreciated

[urban orbit]

i had the first demo for a while, i think after the first demo ended, not sure why i uninstalled it but it probably had something to do with space

all of the screenshots i could find were after i bought the game so nothing there

ill go find those videos now

[hazy hinge]

Alright. Shame you don't have it anymore. Would've been great to archive for sure

[urban orbit]

yeah

hoping theres some way to download previously owned versions but i doubt it

[hazy hinge]

Hang on... I might know of a way

So I did this with the public versions but you had the OLD version

Like you probably had a steam CD key and everything correct?

[urban orbit]

whats a steam cd key?

i also had the second demo if that helps

also if i dont know what a steam cd key is then that might be a problem

[hazy hinge]

don't worry, it's fine

do you remember how you got balatro for the old 0.8.3 version

[urban orbit]

steam

[hazy hinge]

Ok that's perfect

[urban orbit]

awesome

no idea how else i wouldve gotten it but thats good

[hazy hinge]

Do you have Balatro demo on your steam?

[urban orbit]

where? i uninstalled it

[hazy hinge]

right

[urban orbit]

its not listed but i could check local files

[hazy hinge]

ok

[urban orbit]

nope not there either

[hazy hinge]

https://youtu.be/BVumyk2xzY0?si=VqedWrZ11UncGx7k

[urban orbit]

oh sorry missed that

so i just try doing that?

[hazy hinge]

Yeah try that, idk if it'll work with the old balatro demo but you might be able to

but yeah, if you can download it, you could probably write down the effects and all

[urban orbit]

okay i got to the part about the updates and the earliest one is from march 1st

is that a problem?

wait i just saw that it says to log in to see more entires one sec

uh oh

uh oh

i think i did it

uhhhhh

is this good? this is good right

hang on let me just do the earliest one to see if its new it has to be new

[hazy hinge]

I think so

[urban orbit]

how many of these are new discoveries?

[hazy hinge]

Well in 0.8.6b (The earliest I have), there're vouchers that never made it to final release like Magnet and Silver spoon

[urban orbit]

im running the file

i feel like ive just done something great for society and i have absolutely no idea how i should react to that

[hazy hinge]

What version does it say it is?

[urban orbit]

i dont know

it does very unusual things to my computer whenever i try to run it

im going to experiment further with it

[hazy hinge]

ok

[urban orbit]

cool i tried running normal balatro and it reset my entire save file

eh whatever

anyways i have science to do

[hazy hinge]

Alright. But yeah, I know depot downloading REQUIRES you to own the game at least so yeah

[urban orbit]

0.8.6b?

[hazy hinge]

Damn, is that the earliest you can get too?

[urban orbit]

is your version of 0.8.6b also wavy and breaks when you click "collection"?

[hazy hinge]

oh yeah, you need to rename the exe

it's trying to use the info from the modern version

[urban orbit]

to what?

also which one

[hazy hinge]

Okay something to note:
I'm looking into old Balatro Videos and got a couple GothicLordUK's videos on 0.8.3c (The earliest I can find)

In the comments, GLUK said "there are 90 [Jokers] to unlock", which lines up with the 90 that are in the 0.8.6c and other 0.8 builds I have that are later

one major thing of note:

Clubs and diamonds matched Hearts and Spades

Oh shit

I found an EARLIER video

https://youtu.be/GZ1smhiv2WI?si=ZtmqzumjAfMtJtW4

0.8.2b

[urban orbit]

watching it

okay this is definitely old

actually yeah its older than the first demo

[hazy hinge]

So... Supernova was a $5 common, good grief

[urban orbit]

there really werent any consumables until the first demo?

no booster packs either

[hazy hinge]

no boosters, there were Tarots, planets, and vouchers

[urban orbit]

wait so there are?

did they just share space with the jokers then

[hazy hinge]

Yes

[urban orbit]

thats strange but also cool

explains why there are 6 rather than 5

[hazy hinge]

Learned that $5 cost is for commons

or some of them

[urban orbit]

hm

[hazy hinge]

Oh my gosh, half joker is nuts in 0.8.2

+10 Mult if played hand contains 4 or fewer cards

[urban orbit]

wow

sorry about the loss of my enthusiasm i just realized that i no longer have a balatro save file

[hazy hinge]

Oh, that sucks

didn't know that happened

[urban orbit]

yeah

my fault for forgetting to create a backup after losing half of my save file

shouldve made a backup

completely my fault this time

well at least i have some fun screenshots but thats it

[hazy hinge]

ok. It's Quarter past 1AM for me, Gonna call it there, I will be looking through 0.8.6b later and comparing it to 1.0.0 and any jokers with different effects will be added in

but if I find earlier with same effect, they'll be bumped back

[urban orbit]

i am probably not going to continue helping

[hazy hinge]

oh

ok

anyways

Full recreation of the suits from 0.8.2/3

[gilded spade]

i forgot the stake looked different lmao

wait are you gonna add the "choose whatever blind" thing from the beta?

jeez half was kinda trash

[hazy hinge]

Nope

[gilded spade]

fair

[hazy hinge]

I don't know how to do that

[gilded spade]

i can't believe it
the andy dgrat dream is finally coming back

and now we have a new guest

new andy

[hazy hinge]

Yeah, if I'm right, the strats may work still

[gilded spade]

oh yea old fool

and old priestess

noice

[hazy hinge]

yeah

I only have 9 of them done

[gilded spade]

maybe i can make a mod with the jankest versions of all jokers

[hazy hinge]

Well considering every version I can get my hand on will be in this, it'll already have everything lol

[gilded spade]

including "get out of jail free card' bones

oh fuck right

bones was the whole meta

[hazy hinge]

lol true

But yeah, I'm going update by update

[gilded spade]

wait this is gonna have every unique version of everything

[hazy hinge]

yes

[gilded spade]

:)

[hazy hinge]

If I can find a way for the older versions then 0.8.2b -> 1.0.1

but mostly others

[gilded spade]

i tried using only videos of past versions for jokers

[gilded spade]

i couldn't for the life of me find 0.5x throwback

[hazy hinge]

Woah woah wait

0.5x

[gilded spade]

yes

[hazy hinge]

You mean there's earlier?

[gilded spade]

it was like the shortest version in the demo

2nd demo

[hazy hinge]

Where

[gilded spade]

idk

i just remember playing with it an hour after release

i remember it was gone like the same day

lol

[hazy hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-emoji-disintegrating-emoji-disappearing-meme-21st-century-gif-24891417

So you're telling me 0.5 - 0.7 is just gone to time

[gilded spade]

fullskip was so easy

[gilded spade]

more like it was so fast it basically never existed

there's a slim chance

are you gonna include invitational things like pre nerf parking

[hazy hinge]

wait there were exclusive things in invitational?

[gilded spade]

ik reserved parking was different

it wasn't chanced based

[hazy hinge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-3DcCMaTKs&pp=ygUUYmFsYXRybyBpbnZpdGF0aW9uYWw%3D

this one?

[gilded spade]

ye

i think that's how i found 0.5 uncommon obelisk lol

oh wait nah

it was from another vid with double obelisk

[hazy hinge]

Well... Guess the invitational's now another thing to add to the list of versions (for now)

[gilded spade]

lol

[hazy hinge]

I'm gonna stick to current plan atm before going into what I call the "Archived Plus" category

[gilded spade]

also 4$ uncommon vaga(the 4$ in its effect)

meant 4

oh yea

good luck with the 99 bananas

[hazy hinge]

Excuse me?

lol

[gilded spade]

gros michel gets changed every update

[hazy hinge]

oh right

[gilded spade]

and it just got updated on the new buld lol

[hazy hinge]

I'm only making it so that Gros Michels post-release give cavendish

[gilded spade]

fair enough

[hazy hinge]

Since y'know... it didn't exist for the others

Right now, I'm gonna just get every joker in 0.8.6 that's different from 1.0.1 onto a list

[gilded spade]

omg old old throwback lmao

just thought of that

the amount of hands and discards you could generate in beta is crazy

[hazy hinge]

Unfortunately, card art changes only do not count

[gilded spade]

i completely forgot there were card art changes

[hazy hinge]

So you won't see stuff like fortune teller from 0.8.6b which was the same effect but with a different art

[gilded spade]

also

do you want old blue and gold seal to be different

since they were the same

[hazy hinge]

However, stuff like rarity changes will get it in

Changes that will get it added:

• Effect Changes
• Rarity Changes

Changes that will not get it added:

• Card Art
• Cost

[gilded spade]

if 2 items had the same effect at different points will their versions be added seperately or nah

[hazy hinge]

Just realized

Old Steel Joker is kinda useless in modern balatro

[gilded spade]

lol

[gilded spade]

technically not for old steel

or ig old old steel

[hazy hinge]

I guess

[gilded spade]

old steel is the +mult

[hazy hinge]

or at least the ones that i have to readd

also these are compared to 1.0.1 despite me modding in 1.0.0

[gilded spade]

i think i can name some off the top of my head

isn't ringmaster the same

last time i saw closed beta it had the same effect

unless rarity

[hazy hinge]

nope

remember, there weren't any spectrals

[gilded spade]

lmfao

all the ones i can remember

with only 1 change

so far

oh wait demo banner

[south notch]

Apparently demo 8 ball and current 8 ball are slightly different purples

[gilded spade]

is there gonna be any distinction for the different versions

[south notch]

I recall someone saying that

[gilded spade]

wait wha

[hazy hinge]

lemme look

So it seems

Fun Fact

Canio was Caino

also you cna tell what had different art using XOR or Difference like so

excluding the bottom left three in the old sprite vs new sprite

[hazy hinge]

Note: i don't know if any of the effects work

Old Drunkard works, Eightball, Half Joker, and Stone Joker don't

[trail dawn]

Oh, good job on figuring that out. How'd they do it in the code?

[gilded spade]

like how to code them or the actual effect

[hazy hinge]

There's a section of code that says that if the deck is "X", apply a shader

[trail dawn]

Oh, okay. I'll start diving into the code.

[hazy hinge]

kinda both

[hazy hinge]

It's not in the current one

[gilded spade]

do you know how old stone works?

[hazy hinge]

I have to import the code wherever it is

[trail dawn]

Ah. Crud.

Well, thanks for doing all this archive work for the community.

[gilded spade]

my only source is from GLUK's playlist lmao

[trail dawn]

There's a lot of cool ideas that unfortunately didn't get preserved. I'm glad you're on the case, CH.

[gilded spade]

imo certificate was one of those ideas

beta plasma went hard

[trail dawn]

I mean, even if it wasn't balanced, it'd be fun to save the card back effects with hologram, foil, and polychrome.

[hazy hinge]

I'll work on just importing the cards, coding the effects will come later

[trail dawn]

Thanks again for sharing the card backs.

[hazy hinge]

oh btw

Yeah they do nothing

[simple linden]

yall just try contacting thunk and asking for some data on older versions

would be easier if you can contact them

[hazy hinge]

You’re funny lol

You can try. I don’t even wanna attempt it

[glacial ravine]

he didn't exist

[stable vapor]

ik

[hazy hinge]

Update:

• Archived now uses atlas for decks, meaning next update, if it's working properly, you can use this with any other mod.

• The files for Archived will be completely separate in the Ultimate Card Collection, meaning it'll be much easier to update everything.

• Adding (Steam Store) versions of Foil and Holographic.

  • Foil (Steam Store) | Add Foil to 5 random cards in deck.
  • Holographic (Steam Store) | Add Holographic to 3 random cards in deck.
  • They're called "Steam Store" due to the fact I don't know what version of Balatro those decks come from

Also, I will be adding 5 more joker blanks tonight

Reminder: No code has been added for them to work yet

[hazy hinge]

Alright

Fixing some art errors

The current version of Soul will get you all 5 of the original legendaries (unless otherwise grabbed in the code. Old Soul will pick from the old 3 and the original 2 legendaries

[hazy hinge]

Update: I’m away

If you wish to help in gathering info, please DM me

[hazy hinge]

If i can on mobile, i plan to make a google sheet

That way i can do Versions on rows and Columns for each item

[hazy hinge]

Dunno if i sent this or not

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-KCrrmBZgwtBdKJBWf5HVIFxsouiCu5DcUkbx7-wl2I/edit?usp=sharing

[hazy hinge]

I should definitely get more people in on this somehow. Dunno how unless people get videos

[hazy hinge]

Decided to just keep it solo

I can grab my own videos

[hazy hinge]

All that’s missing from 0.8.6b are the vouchers

[hazy hinge]

Joker Poker card back

I have to redo everything for 1.0.0 steamodded

[hollow fulcrum]

NOOO

btw, why not color code the jokers by update? (with a border)

or are you alreadh doing that

[hazy hinge]

I'm doing that

[hazy hinge]

@hollow fulcrum

[hollow fulcrum]

Oh cool! I’m excited

[hazy hinge]

I'm specifically color coding by not Version but by variants

[hollow fulcrum]

Ahh smart

[solid yew]

this is a cool mod

[solid yew]

can't seem to find a download though

very sad

[hazy hinge]

Not out yet

[solid yew]

dang 😔

[hazy hinge]

Hopefully coming back to this as long as I can get help later on

[hollow fulcrum]

exciting!

don't rush it

[hazy hinge]

Thanks. I just wish i could get more people in on the coding side

Or research at least

For now, blanks

[hollow fulcrum]

I could, but I'm unsure where to get older versions

I could at least describe every affects ect

[hazy hinge]

So I decided to do things differently thanks to Lovely and all that

I will have the main file for initializing the mod, anything with colors, shaders, etc.

Each game version will have its own file, and priority of when the card appears earliest will not be version it appears in code wise, however variant wise will be still in the order.

Variant 0 is the current Balatro Version.

Variant 1 is the oldest version starting in Joker Poker. Every version after that’s different will have new variant

The name of the card will be “Card Name at time [Earliest Known Version - Latest Version with variant]”

This is important due to Showman being ringmaster before

[hazy hinge]

There we go

There was no ace of spades in the videos for Joker poker, but I figured it would look like this using the small spade as a reference

Original Size

Yeah, Joker Poker cards are small

Also another problem, pips in Joker poker (from what i can recreate) would be even at the size of balatro, and balatro pips are odd in terms of width

Btw if you wanna know what i’m referencing, it’s on LocalThunk’s Twitter

https://fixupx.com/localthunk/status/1795700030093087157?s=46&t=9Nn_ap7DApBdEg2IFY5uVA

Classic Joker Poker did not have any jokers surprisingly

But it had enhancements that were BETTER than current ones

Some worse, but it’s interesting

There’s

+Chip
Xmult
Color Wild

[south notch]

Also those textures…

[hazy hinge]

Yup.

[south notch]

Way smaller res than what we have now

[hazy hinge]

They’re about half the size of actual balatro cards

But not the same proportions

So some textures are gonna be weird to use

Because while a 1x in joker poker is 5x5 or whatever. The 1x in balatro is 11 x 10

At least for standard pips

Ace pips in classic joker poker are 11x11 ironically

[solid yew]

so are you adding those enhancements?

those cards?

[hazy hinge]

yes I plan to add the enhancements there

I do have to wait for pack additions

[hazy hinge]

Hey all

Been busy IRL but...

Btw, it's safe to assume with how does their card programming, it's safe to assume for joker effects and stuff like blueprint stuff would be the same

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-KCrrmBZgwtBdKJBWf5HVIFxsouiCu5DcUkbx7-wl2I/edit?usp=sharing

At least between two versions like here with 0.8.3c -> 0.8.6

[glacial ravine]

the steel card changed alot

first it was x1.5mult it was saying it will give you x1.5mult whenever you played like pair

then it was giving chips and mult when stays in hand

and then x1.5mult when stays in hand

[hazy hinge]

I plan to try and do at least one thing a day

At least one a week if my time is too busy

[hazy hinge]

How’s it going all?

Got most of the old decks reimplemented

[hollow fulcrum]

Going alright, just working my life away. If I could I would work on this rather than be at work. But it is what it is

[hazy hinge]

Truuuueee

[glacial ravine]

why i can't install older versions of balatro through depot downolad i was trying to install 0.8.6b from steamdb and its dosen't work i was trying to do something in old version

[hazy hinge]

tell me your process

[south notch]

If it crashes, rename the exe file

[glacial ravine]

i think i have no acces to install this

[hazy hinge]

Huh...

lemme see the line of code

[glacial ravine]

here

[hazy hinge]

Strange

[glacial ravine]

is this normal?

[hazy hinge]

No?

Strange I did a later manifest and it works

[glacial ravine]

idk what is going on i can install all depots from febuary 20 to newer but older like from 2023 i can't

[hazy hinge]

What's the feburary 20th one?

[glacial ravine]

the first full version one

febuary 2024

[hazy hinge]

Crap

Steam must've removed the files from the demo them

[south notch]

demo files are already archived

but nobody owns the demo now, so you won't be able to download any verisons

[hazy hinge]

Yeah

[south notch]

however we already have most demo builds saved
not going to share them here for piracy concerns, obviously

[hazy hinge]

^

My only suggestion for now is that if you want to help with finding beta stuff, I guess go through older videos?

That's what we're doing for versions we don't have access to like 0.8.3-0.8.5

[south notch]

i think there are a few 0.8.x builds lying around in version history of main game

nothing that old though

but those should be downloadable

That's the problem

The command they did WAS from the main game version history

[south notch]

ohhh

that's not good

[glacial ravine]

for some versions it says like this

[glacial ravine]

i mean the older verions was working few months ago but like weeks ago they stopped working for me idk why

[south notch]

do you still have them saved, by any chance?

[glacial ravine]

nope

and they gone forever right?

[south notch]

hopefully not

[south notch]

not even in recycle bin?

[glacial ravine]

nope

[south notch]

rip

[glacial ravine]

i was thinking it bad owning older version so i deleted them

[glacial ravine]

well then bad

[glacial ravine]

so you can't install them anymore? well its ok

[south notch]

We archived the main 1.0.0 versions though

But other 0.8-0.9 versions in the main branch are lost media probably

[glacial ravine]

oh ok

[hazy hinge]

Like I suggested before, do some searching on Youtube, Twitter, etc if you can find some beta assets

https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/whi08n/tip_you_can_filter_youtube_search_results_by_date/

To do an X search for certain time periods, use Twitter's date settings. By setting “since:YYYY-MM-DD ” and “until:YYYY-MM-DD” dates, searching tweets by date is possible for a single day or for a multi-month or -year period.

This way, people can search without worry of piracy because we don't like it

Oh and @south notch There is a way for someone to recover deleted files from their recycle bin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ4grwFZnks

Btw, Disk Drill is what people like Tranium (A youtuber who specializes in recovering files from SD cards)

But idk if it's malware or not

so i'd try a different way

[glacial ravine]

i installed the versions before reset because i reset my pc because i was having problem with pc so yea

[hazy hinge]

oh it's a PC reset? then doubt it'll still be on there

So yeah, ignore the recovered files part then

[glacial ravine]

so yea its gone anyways its ok

[hazy hinge]

I'd still do the Youtube and Twitter suggestion

[hazy hinge]

Ignore Ortalab, not included

[hazy hinge]

Okaty so still trying to get this done

Looking for programmers to help out

[hazy hinge]

I haven't done art yet

[marble spear]

Are the actual old assets a different size or is there rights/permissions problems when using them? Or am I misunderstanding the aims of this mod?

[hazy hinge]

Neither

I just was too lazy to change it

See

The red border implies same art compared to 1.0.1[X}

[marble spear]

Ah very fair

[marble spear]

Apparently there were jokers in the joker poker era

https://x.com/localthunk/status/1795705065610854909?s=46

localthunk (@LocalThunk) on X

There's some wacky stuff in here

Twitter · May 29, 2024, 6:33 AM

Never seen these posted here before

@hollow vale did you come across these too when you found the videos for your mod concept? I found them in the same reddit / twitter thread

[hollow vale]

Nope, I didn't really look that far for the concept.

[marble spear]

Very fair

Yeah these are from a later joker poker build

August 2022

Already looked very much like balatro by then

@hazy hinge you don't have anything from this Era yet right?

There's also an anxiously different "shoot the moon" in the video

[hazy hinge]

Few

[marble spear]

Ah probably already got these then. Saying as they're the only things publicly posted from back then I've seen

[hazy hinge]

yeah

[marble spear]

Well sorry for bothering ya

[south notch]

yeah i believe these are already known

in the archived discord

[marble spear]

Link? Sounds cool

[south notch]

i'll send if crimson wants to make it public

[marble spear]

Very fair

[hazy hinge]

Working on the 0.8.6b decks

Yes, even the ones that duplicate.

There will be 2 versions of the mod. One with everything ported, one with only the unique stuff ported

So yes, you can get 2x the amount of content

[wraith pivot]

2x fun :)

[glacial ravine]

i really like that version that will be cool if you are still able to play this version

[marble spear]

AFAIK Thunk never leaked the actual builds

Idk of any of the presumed playtesters would have shared them either

It would be really cool to be able to play though

[hazy hinge]

Earliest versions i know of are 0.8.3

[hazy hinge]

Hey all

Because everyone's doing the whole "Discord Server" thing, I'm making the archived server public

https://discord.gg/mfnZaUwsGg

if you wish to help, feel free to join

[hazy hinge]

Ortalab Content not Included

[hazy hinge]

Whenever the first version comes out, (Version 0.8.6b), it'll include a thing called "ShinkuLib", it's required for Archived's Planets

You can use it to make your own planets that affect existing hand types

[hollow vale]

.

[hazy hinge]

Updated Server for Archived + #1318248620125851749

[hazy hinge]

I'm working on archived again

[hazy hinge]

So lemme explain what I’ve learned so far

Aka catch you up to speed with

1. Shinku LUH is very incompatible with normal level ups, for now. I need to figure out an easier way of getting it to work, even if it’s the normal LUH.

2. Versions are no longer in the name. They’re a badge.

3. I will be trying to get the backs for foil, Holo, and Polychrome to work both normally and with Galdur, which shouldn’t be too hard since Cryptid.

4. I have to make the Crystal Ball, Omen Globe, Telescope, and Observatory vouchers if i wanna finish the decks. The old versions of the voucher put you in “Tarot Reading” or “Planetarium”

5. There will be a section in this. called “Balatrothers”. Essentially these are jokers and things that are not IN balatro but are balatro adjacent. This will include things like the cards from the announcements of Friends of Jimbo, the suits from Enemies of Jimbo, the playable cavendish from that one twitter post, Toker and a new 0 Suit, Letter Deck Skins from the Steam Page (with an ! of Suit), Jimbo Plush, etc. It’ll toggleable in the config

[hazy hinge]

6. Another thing is that I am planning to make various layouts of Balatro playable. This includes Playtest and Modern. If you’ve played the Nostalgic Deck from Cryptid, you would know how that works for Playtest layout.

Note: I was thinking of doing the Pre-JokerPoker layout but a standard deck with no enhancements, jokers, or anything. Not a good idea.

[hazy hinge]

ANOTHER UPDATE

I'm adding CERTAIN modded content as bonus content too

As of currently, there will be a full implementation of stuff from Potassium and ??? (Will tell you once it's out)

I'm debating whether or not to add Cryptid

[hazy hinge]

This will probably only be Archived

We’ll see down the line for Ortalab

But yeah. Ortalab is released. I’m refreshed. Let’s bring this back

[nocturne wyvern]

Oooo! Thos looks really cool! Im interested

[hazy hinge]

Any help is appreciated

[nocturne wyvern]

Im not sure how I can help. Maybe with testing itself. But I have no experience in coding or art... I could be moral support?

[hazy hinge]

Well there's multiple ways of assistance.

• Looking for early game content either through photos, videos, posts by Localthunk, etc.
• The Testing like you said
• Code/art (which you said you had no experience in, which is fine)
• Send people who wanna help this way

Alright, Balatrother discussion/showcase time

So the first thing I wanted to talk about was Enemies of Jimbo

The main question I have is with Fool's Gambit, it has that 0 of Spades

https://fixupx.com/localthunk/status/1849334682749735077?s=46&t=9Nn_ap7DApBdEg2IFY5uVA

One of the candidate titles/main menu designs before I chose “Balatro”
︀︀
︀︀Fool’s Gambit was obviously not a great name but dragging the letters around to spell random crap was incredibly satisfying

Not sure if i should give O support to the enemies of Jimbo stuff, just the base suits, or just the spades
