High Card Mod [SMOD 0.9.8 FULL RELEASE, SMOD 1.0 PORTING WIP]

[frank lake]

Hi guys,

here is a high card mod I made. The joker designs refers to a popular anime series called High Card. This mod will include 1 deck and 52+ supporting jokers upon completion. When playing this deck, each different scoring high card you played at the beginning of the round will give you a unique joker that gives you powerful (but hopefully balanced) effect.
You can find more detailed description as well as the download link from my github repo: https://github.com/Ken-Shi/Balatro_HighCardMod/
Hope this mod is entertaining and I am open to any suggestions or feedbacks on existing / WIP High Cards!

Best,
Kenny Stone

[ancient hawk]

now i wanna know about this anime to understand the mod lol

[slate trench]

Incredible, I love the anime and I'm literally watched some yesterday, can't wait to see how this mod progresses

[ember berry]

Just started this fun show. Love the mod idea can’t wait to see how it progresses!

[iron hedge]

This mod seems super fun and is based of a super cool show. I downloaded it and everything worked well except the card backs. Ive seen that you've put instructions on the github page for your other mod however I'm not sure if I have it working correctly. Ive attached a picture of my directory just so you can see if I'm doing something incorrectly.

[frank lake]

I heard same thing from my friend, I think a quick fix it to open CardBackInjection.lua via your text editor and change line 86 's value from 71 95 to 142 190, launch the game, close it and change it back, then everything will work just fine. I will work on fixing this soon, but this should solve your problem for now

[frank lake]

A much simplier solution i found is to turn off pixel smoothing for now, I already find what caused this issue and i will try to fix it soon

[frank lake]

I have reworked the injection mod, now you can download the latest version as two separated folders!!

[iron hedge]

I just downloaded everything and it works well! I can't wait to see how much this mod is gonna add when you finish it!

Lol I was playing and randomly when X-playing joker returned it was a polychrome. I don't know if this is intended but just though I would let you know.

[frank lake]

yeah this could happen, I haven't deal with it since it goes away after it transforms anyway. Maybe I should address it at some point, thanks for letting me know!!

High Card Mod [5/52 High Card Completed]

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [7/52 High Card Completed]

[raw radish]

overstock

[iron hedge]

I love the new x cards some (unlucky poky) are super strong but I kinda like that as I find it interesting to create strategies. I got a good one with Agent S. Keep up the great work!

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [10/52 High Card Completed]

[frank lake]

Adding cards gets harder and harder when I slowly move to face cards…

[gaunt quarry]

i dont get the x card...

[frank lake]

Currently this joker is only available in the x-playing deck

If that’s what you meant

Also you have to play the high card for your first hand of the round to activate it.

[iron hedge]

Okay so I found a bug that happens with blueprint and brainstorm (idk if its with both or just one) that duplicates the x joker and the x playing cards when they change between each other.

[iron hedge]

Well this run got really fun with green green.

[frank lake]

fixed it! thanks!

[frank lake]

also patched this so it should no longer happen!

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [11/52 High Card Completed]

[gaunt quarry]

still dunno what actually triggers the x playing card to transform

[frank lake]

If your first played hand is high card that is among the ones I support, it transforms

[gaunt quarry]

so its only some cards... interesting

[frank lake]

Yeah making all of them will take some time, I am actively updating the mod

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [13/52 High Card Completed]

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [14/52 High Card Completed]

some pixel art spoiler, I'm really happy with this one!! First attempt to recreate face cards in pixels didn't turn out too bad!

[kind sphinx]

looks gorgeous

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [15/52 High Card Completed]

Club J just dropped! I foresee getting bugs from this one, please let me know if you do! (If you don't want this, you can edit line 34 of HighCard.lua to be false to disable this)

[iron hedge]

Wait thats such a smart Idea, however can this exclude high card as its the highest played hand on avg with this deck. (If it doesnt already)

[frank lake]

I was hoping this fact would somewhat balance it, otherwise i feel like it is too strong

[iron hedge]

Oh okay then I'll try it out a bunch and see if its balanced! 👍

[frank lake]

thx buddy

also i've been thinking about nerf diamond 10 a little more... any thoughts?

currently ive been thinking about throwing away all discards

[iron hedge]

But if you want to balance things unlucky poky is way too busted. (Though I like how strong it is)

[iron hedge]

😂👍

[frank lake]

yeah exactly LOL it was meant to be one of the strongest cards, but i really don't want the deck to collapse down to looking for diamond 10

[frank lake]

actually i decided to completely rework it (or rather, taken away most effects from it), and i think it is actually not too bad

[crude loom]

This is a really cool concept, just started playing and I can see a ton of potential. Great job @frank lake, keep at it!

[frank lake]

Also reworked chameleon a little bit yesterday. I will be out of town for like 2 days. New cards have to wait (I still have plenty of ideas unimplemented )

[mystic geode]

riight click and pin this message I guess

[frank lake]

i don't have this option for some reason

[mystic geode]

oh yeahn only @mods can do it, I just saw it

[frank lake]

yeah sorry

[mystic geode]

Np not your fault thx anyways ❤️

great stuff BTW

[frank lake]

Thanks!

[frank lake]

The second most complicated card I've every coded

High Card Mod [19/52 High Card Jokers Completed]

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [20/52 High Card Jokers Completed]

[crude loom]

yeah how do you do this

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [23/52 High Card Jokers Completed]

[iron hedge]

I love the new face card artworks keep going! I still havent played Balatro since quite some time because Ive been kinda burnt out, but I'm excited to see all the new cards next time I play!

[hidden apex]

I really really liked your mod and i´m very exited about future updates

However, I have find two bugs

If you want I can tell you more about it

[frank lake]

Please!

[hidden apex]

1. When I use jelly crawler (2 of hearts) it doesn't change back to x playing card

2. Love & Peace (2 of spades): que you discard the obligated selected card you become free to use ani card in the next hand. I mean If if (for example) the king of spades is selected and you discard it then any card won't be auto-selected in the next hand

and that's all i remember nut maybe there are some interactions with other jokers that may not funtion as planned hahaha

But i really like your job, keep going please

[frank lake]

Thanks for the info, currently I've been trying to rework a lot of those cards to be more legit. I am aware the second one, but didn't fix it because I've always assumed this is how the blind behave, I just tested it and it turns out to be not the case

I'd fix those issues soon

[frank lake]

I have made a major rework on April 8, 2024. This is mainly to improve the code's overall structure as well as dealing with a few hanging-loose design that I am aware of. I also get rid of cardbackinjection as a result of recent deck back support by steamodded

I recommend a fresh install if you played prior to this date 😄

[kind sphinx]

halfway through???

🫡

[frank lake]

🫡

[rich marlin]

Is there any way for it to indicate which hands will trigger X-Playing Joker before playing them?

I spent a while thinking the mod was broken before realizing I was genuinely using hands that just didn't do anything

Although apparently it was also broken because I was using the mod folder and not the zip that was inside the mod zip(???)

[severe fractal]

I am also having trouble figuring out how X-Playing Joker functions, or if it functions at all

[frank lake]

sorry could you elaborate on the zip part?

[frank lake]

it should work when you the first hand you play of the round is high card and the high card is currently supported

[severe fractal]

Sorry I forgot to elaborate on some testing I was doing and I forgot I was also texting the hand of 6 mod and that was causing problems

Removed it and everything was fine

[frank lake]

oh i c

[severe fractal]

Thank you for the reply

[frank lake]

probably should work on compatibility issue soon LOL

[severe fractal]

I think it's probably more on the hand of 6 mod than yours as it seems to have some strange interactions with other mods

[frank lake]

yeah I'd expect that happening

but id eventually get to support more mods for sure

[severe fractal]

Better mod compatability is always good, thanks for the great work and support 👍

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [26/52 High Card Jokers Completed]

Officially half way through!!

[ancient hawk]

the commitment to this mod is impressive

[severe fractal]

agreed

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [28/52 High Card Jokers Completed]

Probably the last time I can fit all of this in one screenshoot~

[muted arch]

pls pin? :3

[ancient hawk]

hi again. thats a mod only thing but afaik they don't mind being pinged for it very much

[ancient hawk]

@solemn wadi can you pin this message please? also this isn't too bothersome right?

[solemn wadi]

Done - no worries!

[ancient hawk]

thank you!!!

[frank lake]

many thanks!

[ancient hawk]

i finally got around to playing this and accidentally putting myself on the razor's edge with reaper's hand is so fun

taking every cryptid and standard pack out of fear

i got canio but it was way too late 😔

i won with my last card holy

playing with quite a few other mods so stuff was messy (including needing to beat more antes) but bottom right is my deck lol

[prisma marsh]

Oh, geez... What was the winning hand / 'X-Playing' rendition?

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [32/52 High Card Jokers Completed]

[prisma marsh]

Nice! What were the four new High Caeds completed?

[frank lake]

They were these four. I want to balance the amount I complete per suit so I am trying to do 4 at a time now

[prisma marsh]

Interesting effects- I am somewhat confused on what counts as 'Enhancement effects' for Million Volt on 10 Clubs, though

[ancient hawk]

enhancements

as in they don't count towards steel joker or golden ticket i think

[frank lake]

^ exactly, steel joker and golden ticket kind of have their own logic and I don't really want to intervene

[ancient hawk]

these are so cool i can't wait to play more

[frank lake]

I recently had this crazy idea that instead of relying on xplaying joker, they become enhancement on individual cards and can trigger on playing card basis

Currently I’m working on the most creative card(I think) for this mod, I will see how that turns out

[ancient hawk]

how would they be acquired?

it sounds very interesting since it currently seems like it'd be awkward to find in a non xplaying deck run

oh yeah also i was thinking once you get closer to 52/52 you could make the deck only spawn with cards that have jokers, currently i think 32 is a bit too low for that but 40 seems like it'd feel more or less normal (like abandoned deck)

[frank lake]

I'm thinking about introducing a pack that allows you to get playing cards that are specifically x-playing cards, and the joker being an alternative that could make a card "x playing"

and the x playing deck will offer you a deck full of x playing card in the beginning

but obviously this will be A TON of work, I want to at least get one card working, which is the current card I am working on

it's pretty tough already LOL

[frank lake]

a little bit of spoiler for that card. Currently I'm kind of having a lot of trouble, so might postpone this and leave it to the end. It is the most special card in the show as well so hope it is worth the wait!

[ancient hawk]

Round & Round!

[ancient hawk]

oh uhhh that was a bug report if you couldn't tell, it didn't score properly. how do i use Never No Dollars? i feel like i'm missing something

oh nvm it spends it automatically

[frank lake]

oh i see my bad

[ancient hawk]

its fine lmao i'll just take note to not use it till next update

also i think the xmult and money from reaper's hand should probably be nerfed

it kinda ends up like this if things go right. though this is probably like double what it would be if i didn't have other mods on that helped

[rich marlin]

Spicy

[ancient hawk]

i forgor it was king of clubs and didn't mean to play it 😔

[ancient hawk]

Calorie's High Faceless Joker is such a sick combo

[frank lake]

I am thinking so too, but the idea was that the card would check for glass card breaking every so often

maybe i should make them add up instead of multiply together, although that is not quite the game is supposed to work

[ancient hawk]

ah yeah i noticed so i just didn't use glass lol

[frank lake]

the idea was to have all your cards "played" without having them contributed to poker hands

yeah the more I think about it the more I think adding would make much more sense

[ancient hawk]

maybe have all the values get halved after each boss blind?

[frank lake]

will push that with round and round fix soon

[ancient hawk]

thank you!

[frank lake]

oh wouldn't that be quite weak LOL

I will keep that in mind tho, thx for the suggestion!

[ancient hawk]

maybe but i think its worth testing cause like in the above screenshot i also had 700 chips which is quite something

[frank lake]

how many cards did you burn?

[ancient hawk]

at least 40, i kept adding as i burned but i ended with i think around 13

[frank lake]

if you think about the chip part it's basically some card that gives ~150-200 chips with a x4/x5 mult

I think it's the Xmult that did the magic mainly

yeah the more i think about it the more i think i should change it to adding up instead LOL

[ancient hawk]

i'll do a reaper's hand run without other mods and check if the chips are still insane

[frank lake]

many thanks for the feedback!!

[ancient hawk]

yw i'm enjoying it a lot and slowly discovering the effects instead of reading through the collection is fun and interesting

ah such a normal amount of chips

its so much more powerful than i thought

i found a perkeo lmao

the number of cards in my deck is only increasing...

[frank lake]

fixed both of em

now it should (hopefully) scale much slower

[ancient hawk]

i recommended this to a streamer so i'll link when/if he streams this 👍

[elfin tendon]

i'm gonna wait till all 52 high card are finished until playing that mod, i wanna play it completly blind

[ancient hawk]

just used 13 Stairs at ante 1 i feel like a god

[ancient hawk]

i've been trying hard to make Rockin' Rocks work because its fun and i just got a run where i used The Zoo on 4oak 3s first round

we're so back

[frank lake]

I'd take any recommendation for cool effects. Besides a few reserved I am very much open to new ideas!

Recently I've been a little busy irl, will dive back in once i got my hands cleared!

[ancient hawk]

would me not having seen high card yet matter?

[ancient hawk]

i have like 1 idea for an effect that'd fit in this mod but i'm currently seeing if someone would add it to a crossover mod instead, and as such i'm messing with the art (mostly for fun cause i like what its referencing and need practice)

[frank lake]

that's fine, in fact there are a few cards unrevealed yet and I think the mod should come out before then so anything would be fine!

[brazen current]

Quite a few. Like the only 4 we know what it does is calories high right? Or were any of the others used individually at some point

[ancient hawk]

what Honest Straight does to a mf (this is after the second blind ante 1)

[prisma marsh]

Honest Straight? Which one was that one again?

[ancient hawk]

i keep tunnel visioning on making the most use of tranform/enhance xplaying cards and dying because i forgot to play the game 😔 i died like ante 2 but at least i died with around 20 9s

spade 10 is honest straight

did you want the effect or the card?

[prisma marsh]

The effect, but already seems interesting that a Ten of Spades High seems to care about 8s and 9s

[ancient hawk]

effect is ||Turn all scored cards into a random scored card after the scoring stage||

it doesn't care about 8s and 9s lmao it just turned out really funny

[prisma marsh]

Ah, ok. XD Either way, that sound chaos if you end up aiming for a certain card, like Wee Jokers on 2s

[ancient hawk]

yeah its very fun

that + spade 8 (All Kaboom) and heart 6 (The Zoo) are some of my favorites

[prisma marsh]

Admittedly, I just love using a debug mod to start off with King of Clubs high (Reaper's Hand), and see how far I can go. XD

[ancient hawk]

i like the idea of that one and i did have a few really fun runs with it but now i'm waiting for a balance patch on it cause just winning easily isn't too fun

[prisma marsh]

Yeah. Get enough Glass and Gold cards absorbed into it, especially with Glass Joker and Golden Ticket, and you'll be set on Multiplier and money

Combine that with Stone cards from Marble Joker, and you are pretty much set

[ancient hawk]

mhm. mod dev knows the issue so it'll be fixed next update

i so badly want to do a rockin' rocks run but i also kinda wanna actually beat gold stake lol

[vague haven]

i have 6 gold stakes but modding the game is more fun anyway

[ancient hawk]

i mean gold stake on this mod's deck

[vague haven]

ah

[prisma marsh]

Which one was Rockin' Rocks? Was that the one that made your hand only count as a Straight?

[ancient hawk]

its the stone card one for heart 3

[prisma marsh]

Huh. Interesting. If you couldn't tell, I don't really remember most of these effects by name/card

[ancient hawk]

i have a little list i keep on hand when playing

[prisma marsh]

If anything, I'd like to see someone try and pull something off with Four of Hearts High being the main use

[ancient hawk]

really? doesn't seem hard to me

[prisma marsh]

I know- That's the fun of it. Set up that playing card, follow it up with another Ace High boosted by either Hack or Hanging Chad, then watch the numbers fly!

[ancient hawk]

i may have the rockin' rocks run

lost by 10k ;-;

i think if i played my hands in a slightly different order i would've won

[ancient hawk]

70% chance its a skill issue (or mods not having econ issue) but playing 1 hand to transform the xplaying card kinda sucks, it'd be more interesting if the deck had +1 hand and forced you to play high card first

[brazen current]

Well the dev did say something about changing it so

[ancient hawk]

true

[frank lake]

I think you are right as the stakes get higher. However, I kind of think that adding an extra hand would give the mod a lot more advantages. In a full picture in my mind, ideally one would be able to play enhanced playing card that is enhanced to be Xplaying Card and then trigger the transformation, and because when everything is developed, there will be something called X hand (basically non-high-card hands with xplaying card will also trigger certain effect) I think it reaches a stage where you are "forced" to play some x playing cards in the beginning

as for now, I think one way to think about it is, the first hand rule kind of gives you an advantage of "not playing Xplaying cards to sit off the joker effect", in case what you get in the beginning is not what you wanted

so that you have more freedom of choosing whether you want any Xplaying effect or not round by round

and if the enhancement idea works, you can enjoy some xplaying card in regular runs as well. That way it would be much more selective because if you only have a few in your deck, you may not be able to play it at all.

[lean kernel]

Alright time to add the last mod i wanted to work on with the other two at once, ink & color suit compatibly with high card mod

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1232205257384132689

[ancient hawk]

@hazy arrow

[kind sphinx]

murph this mod is epic

[frank lake]

Another King. Ever since i have the playing card idea many designs in my mind has been leaning towards that setting...

[ancient hawk]

i look forward to it 👀

[prisma marsh]

So, that form's stats get carried over to the X-Playing Card's other forms? Or am I misreading it?

[ancient hawk]

that form's stats are imprinted on the played card used to trigger it

[worldly spade]

love this one lol

[prisma marsh]

But, since it destroys the Face cards... Where does the buff go? (I'm mentally going in circles trying to figure this out)

[worldly spade]

idk lol

[ancient hawk]

the king of hearts

[worldly spade]

i was trying to figure out

[worldly spade]

ohhh

[prisma marsh]

Wait, so it remembers how many cards it destroys each time you do a Heart King High?

[frank lake]

yes, I meant to say when you trigger this joker, the card used to trigger it IS the joker. But that was too hard to explain in card text

you are basically adding the buff to this King of Hearts, when you play it again it has all the buff

but if you start from another king of hearts it just start as nothing and adds buff to that new king of hearts

[prisma marsh]

Oh, ok, so it adds those stats to the Heart King you used to get that Playing Joker?

[frank lake]

yes, and the joker act as if that card is always in play (only in terms of chips and mult)

[prisma marsh]

Interestingly awkward, yet I like the idea of it

[frank lake]

all face cards are themed to do similar stuff in my opinion

[prisma marsh]

Combine that with a good Heart/Face based build, and you'll have your work cut out for yourself. XD

[frank lake]

for example, kings are all destroy

jacks are all most played hands

no queens yet because i have one in mind that is as hard to code as king of spades so that has to wait

[lean kernel]

good to know

[prisma marsh]

It's as hard to code as Reaper's Hand? That is... ominously exciting to hear

[frank lake]

I meant San Galgano

which gave me headache for about two weeks now

almost become a community effort towards playing card (I hope)

[prisma marsh]

Ah, this one?

[frank lake]

yes

[lean kernel]

i felt like my joker verdant shift would be hard to code but was surprisingly easy

[prisma marsh]

I'd be down to help brainstorm ideas for the other Playing Card forms, if you're down to work together (just expect me to be all ideas, no implementation, because I aint no coder)

[lean kernel]

i mean just look at this complexness

[prisma marsh]

Nani the what?

[frank lake]

sure, there are a few cards left being completely undesigned, just let me know and I will see what I can do!

[lean kernel]

i could use some ideas as well for the compatibility between my mod and this one 👀 https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1232205257384132689

[prisma marsh]

Well, what're the 'Rank/Suit' themes you have in mind so far (like how you mentioned that all Kings involved destruction)

[frank lake]

not for number cards specifically cuz it is all over the place LOL

[lean kernel]

good to know

[ancient hawk]

also gave up on this art thingy so heres the effect "flip 3 cards held in hand face down if played hand contains a Flush. face down cards count as all suits but no rank", would need tweaking to work as an xplaying card but the general idea is there

[frank lake]

if you have any effects in mind, let me know and I will see if i can find a good fit

[frank lake]

but if you play a flush, why would you need three more cards?

[prisma marsh]

Hmm... I did have a somewhat odd yet interesting idea in mind, but I have no idea on how to word/phrase it or if it'd even be possible / work

[frank lake]

some of them might turned out to be extremely easy / hard

[frank lake]

I think the recent pain was playing cards, I'm sure you can relate

[prisma marsh]

If short, whenever a scored card is retriggered by some form of ability (like Mime, Red Seal, Hack, etc), that card's Suit changes to a random other suit before it's triggered again. Get what I mean?

[lean kernel]

yea...

[frank lake]

oh yeah

[ancient hawk]

it was supposed to be a snowballing sort of effect cause of what its referencing but yeah probably not the right activation condition for this mod, the main points are flipping cards face down and face down cards are significantly buffed so they're worth using

[frank lake]

that could be done

[prisma marsh]

That way, retrigger effects basically become Suit Roulette as to what you might get

[frank lake]

I see, so next time you only need 2 cards in order for it to be a flush?

[ancient hawk]

yeah

[frank lake]

oh wait hmmmmm

I'd have to try this one before i can tell for sure

[ancient hawk]

the thing its referencing works pretty much exactly like that, flips colored tiles face down which count as all colors but no numbers

[frank lake]

because I don't know if i'd be too late in the game's logic to change card suit in the middle of a calculation

[frank lake]

my only concern is, would that kind of be a weaker version of Chameleon (Heart 7)

also may i know what the reference is, so that maybe i can also work out the art to be similar

[prisma marsh]

Then maybe change it so that it changes Suits post-scoring if it was scored more than once that hand?

[ancient hawk]

good point, the buff doesn't have to be flush based really

[frank lake]

the game does stuff like retriggering and destroying very counter intuitively

[prisma marsh]

What does that exactly mean?

[frank lake]

but very elegant idea, i'd try

[frank lake]

for example, cards that would be destroyed are determined prior to scoring but will only be destroyed at the end

[ancient hawk]

name at the top. character from the boardgame bullet ❤️

[prisma marsh]

Oh, ok. So, it'd already be read as 'destroyed' by the time it's played / the effect is used?

[frank lake]

there were a few effort on destroying card in place, but most of them failed because of how deck is arranged in game

yeah I'm not sure if retrigger is also like that in which the cards are marked to retrigger and then all the suit based calculations are done before scoring

for example, a huge pain I can already imagine is poker hand shift

if it makes flush by shifting, then it's gonna be HUGE PAIN

[frank lake]

wow that's so lovely

[prisma marsh]

Hmm. Then I got another idea that could be interesting- A High Card form that makes your Poker hand only be read as a Flush of the most common Suit in your deck

[frank lake]

maybe a queen even, let me think about it more

[frank lake]

well I think that again is a little bit conflicting with hearts of 7, I think flush making cards are often too strong

that's why I hesitate to make a simple "always flush" card

although there is "always straight"

[prisma marsh]

Hmm... Then how about a spin on it in the form of 'Always Two Pair'

[frank lake]

you mean diamond of 2?

oh sorry no (I misread)

hmmm

[prisma marsh]

Could definitely lead to some Spare Trouser shenanigans

[frank lake]

good call, I don't have much to do with two pairs yet

trousers may get some love

it's just that I didn't want to make too straightforward effects at this point... I still haven't give up on the suit flipping ideas yet

maybe it's fine since it only works when it retriggers, meaning that it's ready in scoring hands

wait no... hmmmm

[prisma marsh]

Huh... Then maybe there could be one that makes the suits be treated as the next Suit in a 'cycle' of Club --> Diamond --> Heart --> Spade --> Club, like a weird rendition of Smeared Joker?

[frank lake]

those ones are usually fun but hard to make

I like challenges

I still remember how much of a challenge was this one

[ancient hawk]

could there be one that either lowers played ranks by 1 or raises them by 1 depending on the rank? the point being that it slowly ends up morphing your whole deck into the rank of the xplaying card

[frank lake]

that sounds great actually, although not quite fitting the future vision of xplaying card as enhancement... but i like this a lot, I will probably make one of those!

[ancient hawk]

awesome

as an enhancement it could maybe be buffed to change the ranks by 2 till they're the correct one?

[prisma marsh]

Hmm... Could there be one that can turn played Stone cards into Gold cards?

[frank lake]

problem is that stone cards does not have rank or suit, so we'd have to assign one. Although in game they have, but it won't be straightforward for player to get what card they could be

[prisma marsh]

Ah, ok. If you can't tell, I have highly experimental ideas. XD

[frank lake]

no worries i always love brainstorming

[prisma marsh]

Hmm... Maybe one could let Gold cards in your hand give +Mult for each Gold card in your hand? (A literal gold rush of an effect)

[rich marlin]

I want to apologize for previously not realizing that some cards don't do anything because they literally did not have established effect because they're based on an existing anime

This mod is very cool

[ancient hawk]

they don't do anything cause 52 complex effects with art is a lot for one person

[frank lake]

Ok I updated the website so now it has placeholders for all missing cards

some of them I already have art made, some have names (reference to the series) but not arts, some have neither. I think going forward I would be a little creative on filling in the ones not established yet

I also welcome ideas of all sort if any of the missing ones grabs your interest

[ancient hawk]

wing wind and dynamic kinesis look so cool

[frank lake]

@lusty cedar sorry for pinging, I want to give credit to you for honest straight (10 of spades), what string do you want for creditting your name? (it would be "@name" format)

@ancient hawk coro and @prisma marsh twilight as well, let me know how you want to be refered to as

[prisma marsh]

You could just call me either Sunset or Twilight- either half works fine for me

[frank lake]

thx all

[prisma marsh]

No problemo. I'm still trying to cook up some experimental ideas, because whether or not they work, it's still a shot taken at an idea

For example, maybe one of them could let chance based effects, like Space Joker's hand upgrade, Bloodstone's potential boost, etc have a chance to retrigger if they successfully trigger the first time? (Get what I mean?)

[prisma marsh]

Do you think that'd be a good idea?

[frank lake]

i'd have to think about it more because there's Agent S which does retrigger effects. I hope other retrigger effect are around the same power level

[prisma marsh]

Hmm. I just think that it could be interesting to have a form you build your Jokers/deck around instead of playing the Playing Joker in your already established build. (Get what I mean?)

[frank lake]

like some joker worth dedicating an entire run on?

[prisma marsh]

To an extent, yeah- Like Bloodstone being all about the Hearts and Multiplier

[ancient hawk]

rockin' rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 thing i think would be both very interesting and not very interesting at once would be a blueprint xplaying card, it'd def be super interesting when xplaying cards are enhancements though

[frank lake]

sounds like nightmare LMAO

[icy sorrel]

Yo, played this for the first time and enjoyed it. One thing, I do like the feeling of unlocking new jokers and seeing what they do so I think you should have every joker not be immediately unlocked. Maybe this is a just-me thing

[frank lake]

Good call, I’d probably add that in the near future!

[frank lake]

bro i thought about the design we discussed before and i ended up doing this

@ancient hawk

[ancient hawk]

the art looks very cool and the diamonds on it remind me of the boardgame

[frank lake]

it was mainly because of the fact that we have Chameleon and i think having flush related joker that throws the chips away might be a little under powered

[ancient hawk]

fair

[frank lake]

but now we are in the end game, with one card missing from each suit!

[ancient hawk]

it still keeps the core concepts mostly, only missing the card flip thing but that is hard to translate to balatro as an effect well

omg thats so sick

frozen eye (slay the spire relic) in balatro real

[frank lake]

are people using alpha right now?

SMOD 1.0 alpha i mean

if so, i will consider porting soon; otherwise i will wait for the official release of it

[ancient hawk]

i'm not using it till its fully released but i would recommend starting the work on a port before it fully releases in case it proves to be more difficult than expected

[frank lake]

some good progress!!

[finite tundra]

Oh? How does this work? I wanted to implement something similar but for the moment I just have it create a temporary Ace of Spades

[frank lake]

right now i create a card, determine the best fit (with lines of lines of code), reset the base of that card, and mark it as to be deleted so that it's gone after scoring

Progress!!!

[finite tundra]

I noticed there was a GitHub and took a brief look at your code. I understood some of it, but didn’t look through it hard enough to understand all of it. But mostly the part where it computes the position of the card in the hand and then I imagine it adds the card to the hand? I guess it’d be easier to understand after seeing it in action

[heavy blade]

Is this mod stable yet

[rare trail]

Oh?

[surreal crescent]

One left?

[frank lake]

well i think id release it after everything is reworked, the joker itself is more than ready

also, reworked x-playing joker!

[frank lake]

I have reworked a few animations for cards that transform, and also made cards like Masculine Parfait render properly. I released all of this on github, if you'd like to get a taste of having them as playing card! (There might be a lot of bugs, but I appreciate any feedbacks!) BTW San Galgano is still WIP, it will have A LOT OF INTERACTIONS!

(I only updated the repo, not the zip, in case that was how you guys were downloading the mod)

[frank lake]

tease

[prisma marsh]

Oh, that is some amazing flavor text to have show up. I love it!

[surreal crescent]

would be nice if it was proper grammar too

[rare trail]

So how does this work? Are they separate suits? Are they treated as the same suit? Are they enhancements? I’m curious for my own project

Oh. Video answers it

[pure veldt]

It would be nice if the cards showed what the joker effect would be

[prisma marsh]

Maybe some kind of right-click option to view what their 'intentions' are? (IDK, just something to try and be flavorful)

[finite tundra]

I mean they could have the Jokers' descriptions as tooltips

[prisma marsh]

That could be interesting. I just like to think that it could be seen as a vague description of what they're planning or thinking of doing.

For example, 4 of Diamonds (Musical Alchemist) could have something like "This one prefers to Flush on their own terms"

[frank lake]

good point, some of them would be pretty wordy

[prisma marsh]

If anything, I can help think of short yet vague summaries of what they could say

[pure veldt]

Either way, as long as I don't have to read a guide/go to the collection screen every new ante

[fast charm]

bug: the king of hearts joker crashes my game whenever i play a face card

[frank lake]

hey buddy, i couldn't reproduce this, can you give me more details on how that game was step up? For example, do you have other jokers? what version of game/steamodded are you on?

[fast charm]

ok

so

i am on steammodded v0.9.8 and balatro v1.0.1f

i have a bunch of other mods installed to be fair

[frank lake]

it didn't give you any error screen huh

oh i c

you reloaded the game right

[fast charm]

yes

it seems to be all jokers that destroy cards as the five of clubs one crashes as well

[frank lake]

well at least king of hearts wasn't that. What was the case that makes 5 of clubs crash?

(I fixed king of heart btw, will push in a sec)

[frank lake]

yeah this should be fine now, although i think the solution was not perfect

[fast charm]

i think it's the fact that it destroys cards

so let me see

x-playing jokers that destroy cards
• 5 of clubs
• king of diamonds
• king of clubs (note the description of this card says gold instead of $)
• 8 of spades
• king of hearts

[frank lake]

All of them failed for you?? Upon what conditions

When I start fresh games they don’t really fail for me, king of hearts were because of a game saving issue

[frank lake]

i can't reproduce any of those... is it the same behaviour in which your game would just crush and close itself?

[fast charm]

yes

i think it's because all of them destroy cards

[fast charm]

just starting a run with the x-playing deck and playing those cards
on some occasions i synthesise them with debugtools but it produces the same result

[fast charm]

just the same as this

[frank lake]

yeah im not sure if that was because of any of the other mods, because it worked for me most of the time

have you tried any other jokers that destroy cards in other mods you have?

[fast charm]

not yet

[frank lake]

it's odd because king of heart did turn out to be problematic, but it was because how the game save cards and that issue is fixed now

[fast charm]

no other jokers that destroy cards in mod packs that i have crash the game, but i think it's because they all destroy cards after the hand is played

possibly because when you destroy cards before the hand is played, it is possible for the hand to have 0 cards

idk lua tho

[frank lake]

well actually all of the cards you mention would destroy cards after hand is played

[fast charm]

oh

really?

[frank lake]

other cards did work for you, right? those that does not destroy cards

could you give me an example of a card from other mod that destroys cards but works for you? let me make sure im not doing things wrong

[fast charm]

sledgehammer from bunco

works

[frank lake]

@fast charm here's an example of how i try to test these cards, it did work for me just fine. Since the cards you mentioned all triggers destroying card in different conditions, i wonder if they all behave exactly like how your clip works, the details does matter a lot

just want to make sure it's not the easy answer, did you use the code from the github or the zip file?

[finite tundra]

How did you fix it?

[fast charm]

yeah i clicked the HighCardMod51of52.zip file in the github repo

[frank lake]

well i only put up a safety insurance that would generate a card if the card info is missing. In the case of king of hearts, it would lose all the abilities and enhancement and stuff, but i manage to calculate the values so that the generated cards should at least retain all the chips and mults

[frank lake]

oh that's probably why. My recent updates are all in the folder itself, mainly HighCard.lua

[fast charm]

ohhh

alr thanks

[finite tundra]

In my case, I wanted to track specific cards so I could destroy them later, so I think I need to find another way to keep track of them

[fast charm]

i need this

[frank lake]

i should proably package them soon, it was because the recent development was a bit shaky, so i hope i could officially release it upon completion

[frank lake]

that's how xplaying card works right now. I would destroy the card upon activating, and regenerate at end of round

but here's the save load issue, i also handle that with similar safety insurance. not a good practise, but best we've got now

[finite tundra]

But what card do you want to destroy at the end of round? The Joker?

[frank lake]

yeah, i make destroy, detachment and generation happen at the same time, so it visually looks like it "transforms" back to the deck

[finite tundra]

Tbh I think the transformation of playing card into Joker shouldn’t have the “dissolve” animation

[frank lake]

it was actually kinda similar to the reference i was making

[prisma marsh]

If you still want to try giving each playing card a tool-tip of sorts that'd hint at their 'Joker', I'd still be down to help think of descriptions for 'em. Mainly because I'm now getting way too many ideas for hints

[frank lake]

https://tenor.com/view/high-card-cards-high-card-anime-anime-gif-13552854739101124448

^kind of like that

[finite tundra]

But anyways, in your case I have some ideas of alternatives but you seem to have it working so I guess they’re uncalled for

[prisma marsh]

What kind of show is that, and what kind of Poker are they playing to do THAT?!

[finite tundra]

Hmm, I just like the idea of the card moving from hand to Jokers and vice-versa and just working, hence the lack of animation would maintain the illusion that it’s the same object.

If you want, you can make the card explode too

[frank lake]

this is High Card LOL

[prisma marsh]

It's an actual show/anime?

[frank lake]

yeah, although it kinda sucks in recent season so i won't really recommend at this point

[finite tundra]

(as in, the game does have a function that explodes cards)

[frank lake]

oh was it used for mr bones?

[finite tundra]

AFAIK it’s used for packs

[frank lake]

ohh

[finite tundra]

I have a video of me using it for a Joker

[frank lake]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

pls show me

[finite tundra]

(Animation WIP) #💻・modding-dev message

[frank lake]

actually, this won't go as smoothly because of how enhancement works and all

you do need a way to make a transition in those cases as the joker is just a plain joker

[finite tundra]

I mean if you disabled enhancements it would work 😅 but you have a different use case

[frank lake]

holy shit that was awesome

[finite tundra]

Or, making enhanced Jokers possible

[frank lake]

what a simple solution eh LMAO

[prisma marsh]

Huh. Either way, now you have me curious about what the show is like and what the cards actually do in the show, because they seem to look/act like power ups

[frank lake]

yeah if you know jojo's bizarre adventure it's kind of like that, where "player" gets some ability after "play" the xplaying cards

however they haven't complete 52 cards, so i made a few myself

[prisma marsh]

Ah, ok. Nice! If anything, now I'm curious about what cards were improvised, because I want to know what my favorite Poker card has as a 'Stand Effect'

[finite tundra]

Thank you! I haven’t looked into it in a while but event handling can be… a bit confusing.

I think I’ll make the entire deck explode at once, maybe while face-down, in the interest of time. I also would like to control the timing of the Joker moving because I think it’s a bit awkward with the hand moving up in the middle of it. There’s also some issues I didn’t show with card draw and Jokers not triggering properly

[frank lake]

@finite tundra this is the main reason why im doing the thing as it is, because it works nicely for empowered cards

[finite tundra]

I see

I had noticed the game hides a lot of transitions by flipping cards

[frank lake]

well probably because there's none LOL

Rockin' Rocks animation is still a big embarrassment for me

stone card transition was even worse

because it wipes out the card first

so for split of a second you will see a blank card

[finite tundra]

What is it like?

[frank lake]

yet you can't really hide it because when use events to time it, the enhancement won't happen properly

[finite tundra]

Maybe you could try coding a custom animation so the timing is right

[frank lake]

nothing about animation, it's how evaluation of cards work

also @prisma marsh i've been thinking about hintful tips but i think i probably won't do it until making description localization is easier

just to get the default one to work caused me a lot of headache already

[finite tundra]

I mean that you could start the animation before changing the card parameters that turn it into a blank

[frank lake]

because of how the OG game uses nodes

[prisma marsh]

Ah, that sounds like a good idea. Also, fun fact: My favorite Poker Card is actually the 9 of Diamonds (before these fancy card arts)

[frank lake]

you can't really do that, because most of those animations are also time event

and all time event are queued after evaluation

[finite tundra]

Why does it turn blank at the start?

[frank lake]

hopefully i gave the card a well deserved effect!

[finite tundra]

I imagine there’s a way to force them to happen anyways

[frank lake]

and unfortunately it's not in the show right now LOL

[prisma marsh]

Which one was 9 of Diamonds, again?

[frank lake]

it was because set_ability was not timed, and setting ability to stone would wipe out things, so it's not really animation, it's just "gone"

[finite tundra]

Or, maybe, force it not to happen

[frank lake]

No Mercy!

[finite tundra]

For example, playing cards in the deck have to be face-down, so I changed the function that checks card positions so it could have a parameter that keeps them facing up

You could have a parameter that forces cards to look like Stone Cards

And then you deactivate it during the animation

[prisma marsh]

Oh, ok. At first, I was thinking "Eh, it's not that good, since it needs constant Diamond 9 highs to get it's momentum", but then I realized that it was Eternal, meaning no switching when locked in- That changed the whole thing, and I actually kinda like it. Allows for some really jank Straight plays, and I love it as a Straight(er) Flush player.

[frank lake]

yeah i had a bit of a headache at times when i rework ALL transformation animation and i left this one out LOL

[frank lake]

high card would also work, making the accumulation slightly easier

but if you fail to make a hand then you die, or maybe you survive the round but you lose it all

[prisma marsh]

Hang on... It still ramps off of High Card?

[frank lake]

as long as you play 5 cards of distinctive ranks

[prisma marsh]

Oh, ok. So, it'd still work with, say, A-5-6-9-Q

[finite tundra]

Anyways, I quite like Balor (the one that allowed you to see your deck), and I’m a bit envious because I wanted to implement a similar effect but your UI sounds like a much more user friendly way to do it 😅 now I can’t just do that lol

[frank lake]

yep

[prisma marsh]

Fascinating. Albeit, Balor is definitely a lovely effect, too- Reminds me of a modded Joker from another batch. It was called 'Burner Phone', and it basically told you what the next two cards of your deck were in order when you hovered over it, a la Scouter.

[frank lake]

im sure you could have done it in equally amazing ways

[finite tundra]

It’s more that I do want to implement the effect but there isn’t much more that’s thematic that I want to add to it

[prisma marsh]

Burner Phone + Scouter Joker + Balor = "I. SEE. EVERYTHING!"

[finite tundra]

(It’s a reference to a character who’s omniscient so any kind of information would be fitting, but it ought to be good enough to be legendary and hopefully not too difficult to implement)

[frank lake]

i wanted to make heart of 9 to precalculate your score first, but then after reviewing what divvy did i quickly gave up

[prisma marsh]

Hang on, Balor is one of the cards in the show?

[frank lake]

yes, it gives the user vision to see everything

[prisma marsh]

Holy... Now that sounds like a nutty ability

[frank lake]

it was supposed to be the strongest card (in the show) i think, in a sense that it also make you know every cards and all

but San Galgano was the strongest card... right now im working on it

(I have spoilers in dev chat, dont watch it if you want to keep it fresh LOL)

[prisma marsh]

San Galgano... For a moment, I was about to ask if it was the Eternal card destroying effect, but then I realized that was Death's Hand

[frank lake]

it's "external" in a special way

once you play it you enable all the interactions

until you seal it again somehow

[prisma marsh]

What was their full effect again? Besides the whole 'mind of their own' aspect

[finite tundra]

I’m probably not implementing it anytime soon, but if I do go through with it, can I implement an UI to show players the deck? I’ll keep thinking of ways to make it unique but for now I don’t have much

[frank lake]

for sure! i think it's a pretty straightforward effect to come up with so definitely shouldn't keep it as the mod's own!

[frank lake]

in general it consumes xplaying cards and disables them

it gets stronger the more cards you feed it

you can potentially get x52

[finite tundra]

I think the UI (and the art/flavor) is what makes it “yours”, but I can’t think of many ways to improve it

[prisma marsh]

Huh. Interesting. Is it effectively a copycat/absorption power in the show, or something?

[frank lake]

it literally "eats" cards

and it would take over the user's mind

[prisma marsh]

Huh. So, it's a card that lets you mind control others...? Or does the card mind control the user?

[frank lake]

the user, so it's a dangerous card to have

[prisma marsh]

Huh. Holy...

[frank lake]

High Card Mod [52/52 High Card Jokers Completed, Pack WIP]

Finally finished making San Galgano... had many hidden effects implemented for this card! could anyone one day get him to this stage (or even better?)

I will also work on packs soon and that would wrap up the mod (for now), and then i will start migrating to highcard 1.0

[ancient hawk]

52/52!!!!!

[languid wedge]

you know this mod has really been slept on

not only does this offer 52 crazy jokers, it's been around forever

[ancient hawk]

yeah its why i was advertizing it so hard

[coarse estuary]

When you were Advertising I was thinking of it was a stllwork in progress lmao

[ancient hawk]

i think some of those words are out of order, its frying my brain

[coarse estuary]

Fix it I think lol

congrats kenny!!!

[hidden apex]

Bug report:

I was chill playing and I activated Love and peace (A spades) at the boss that discard 2 cards when you play your hand. I played a color, then the boss discarded the 2 left cards from my hand and suddenly the game crashed

I retried it

[frank lake]

thanks! just pushed a fix. this was because you emptied the hand and no cards could be forced. The OG game also had the same problem, but i think it was not possible to empty hand in OG game given how all the cards and blinds were designed

now should be robust

(though i think you may not get a card forced if you empty the hand, we live with that for now. )

[finite tundra]

Probably possible with Perkeo and Hanged Man

[hidden apex]

niceee, keep going with your work

I'm really enjoying it

[pure veldt]

Does this require steamodded 1.0?

I play a high card and it doesn't do anything

[ancient hawk]

no

[frank lake]

not currently. Did you play it as your first hand of the round?

[pure veldt]

yes

[frank lake]

hmmm, and which card was it?

also, is the hand you are scoring high card?

[pure veldt]

any card, none of them work

[frank lake]

may i ask which game version / steamodded version you are on exactly?

[pure veldt]

high card yes

Game version 1.0.1f FULL
0.9.8-STEAMODDED

through lovely on Steam Deck

trying mouse and controller same result

Here's a video of what happens

[frank lake]

which other mods do you have?

i never tested it on steam deck but from the fact that the deck is loading i think that's probably the least concern

^sorry that's what i meant

[pure veldt]

most of the betma mods, Black Seal, Bunco, Codex Arcanum, Fusion Jokers + Jestobiology, This, kusomods, lushmod, more fluff, myst jokers, oddity api, reverie, SDM_0's Stuff, Autumn Circus, Themed Jokers, Achievement enabler

and Eccentric Deck

[frank lake]

which mod adds the additional slot?

[pure veldt]

Reverie

the Cine cards

I'll see real fast if this works without it

[frank lake]

iirc oddity api only works on steamodded 1.0?

[pure veldt]

no change and oddities work fine

[frank lake]

hmmm, i assume everything else work for you? or you installed everything at once and haven't tried others?

[pure veldt]

everything else is (mostly) fine

I downloaded the mods over time

better list

Worth noting that this was one of the latest mods I downloaded

[frank lake]

i know a few mods that mine would definitely be compatible

might be a bad request, but have you tried those mods together on PC?

[pure veldt]

One minute

Same Result

Worth noting that I'm using the injected version of steamodded without Lovely on PC

I just ran the game with all the mods removed except for high card and it worked fine

[frank lake]

let me try if it was jestobiology or fusionjokers, i tried codex, more fluff and jankjonklers and they were fine

[vague haven]

hey just so you know the remux recordings button converts the mkv files to mp4s that work on discord

assuming you use obs

[pure veldt]

No I use Decky Recorder

It just saves replays

I could choose a different format but mkv is the smallest filesize so I can actually post them on discord

[frank lake]

btw what's in lovely?

[pure veldt]

it's part of the lovely injector stuff

[frank lake]

i have tried fusion, myst, bunco and jestobiology and they are all compatible btw

[pure veldt]

dump folder and log folder

[frank lake]

OH I know

could you try removing lush mod?

[frank lake]

lush mod rewrites evaluate_play, in which i believe all mods that modifies evaluate_play will not work

[pure veldt]

works now

[frank lake]

yeah... that's it, they overrides evaluate play, there's not much i can do on my side to get around this

[pure veldt]

I'm fine without that mod

aight, thanks!

[frank lake]

thank you for bearing with me!

[pure veldt]

no problem, thanks for the help!

As a side note, I would suggest making the X-Playing Card eternal

it doesn't make too much sense to be able to sell the main gimmick of the deck

[frank lake]

some of them are actually. I mainly didn't want to confuse people with the fact that it's gone after the round but still being eternal

but i would consider making those unsellable

[pure veldt]

I meant the main joker, the one you start with

X-Playing Joker oops

[frank lake]

oh that

there's a particular reason for it to be not eternal... I don't want to give too much spoilers but it has something to do with King of Spades

[pure veldt]

oh, it seems to still do the thing even if I sell that joker...

[frank lake]

also, this joker is available in Soul spectral card

[frank lake]

now you no longer need the joker to make transformation

that joker only converts cards to xplaying cards now

[pure veldt]

ah

The in-game text isn't super clear on that

[frank lake]

so when you open, say standard packs, you will get regular cards, but you can convert them into xplaying cards with xplaying joker in presense

[pure veldt]

I see

[frank lake]

I guess i was hoping the messages are conveyed through the tooltips on each playing card

[pure veldt]

It is, the X-Playing Joker just confused me a bit

[frank lake]

you may have realized that those cards have a badge called "X-playing cards", they are special playing cards

[frank lake]

let me know if you have suggestions on the wording!

[pure veldt]

maybe for the joker say if the first normal card played is a high card, turn it into an x-playing card

or standard card

Now that I read everything carefully it makes more sense

I was just under the impression that the X-playing joker was necessary to turn the x-cards into jokers

[frank lake]

i should have embedded the info about a card "not being a X-Playing Card at time" somewhere, but it's been a little difficult to keep everything concise

[frank lake]

this was how things work back then

but then i realize that makes this deck specific, i am hoping X-Playing Cards can also be accessed by other mods. I am currently working on packs that opens X-Playing Cards so you can obtain them via shop!

[pure veldt]

Ok, thanks for clarifying

[finite tundra]

There’s an old 0.9.8 version

[prisma marsh]

Admittedly, I'm kinda surprised that nobody commented about why my favorite playing card in an entire standard Poker Deck is specifically the 9 of Diamonds. XD

[frank lake]

I think we are almost ready for a full release for 0.9.8!

[ancient hawk]

is it possible to get rid of the booster pack shader?

[frank lake]

i think it's not too bad, like a sealed pack of cigars

We might be oversmoking

High Card Mod [SMOD 0.9.8 FULL RELEASE, SMOD 1.0 PORTING WIP]

WE ARE READY FOR RELEASE!!!

(0.9.8 for now)

[rich marlin]

So wait is it possible to get just a few X Playing Cards and have them be functional in a normal run

I've lost track for a bit

[ancient hawk]

yes

[lean kernel]

epic

[prisma marsh]

Nice! Also, this is a bit of a random question, but what is everyone's favorite Poker card excluding the 'Playing Card' form this mod gives them? Mine is the 9 of Diamonds

[ancient hawk]

i don't really have a set one i always answer with but prob 4 of spades

4 is a good (bad) number and spades are cool

[prisma marsh]

Interesting pick, Coro.

[ancient hawk]

iirc i don't like 4 of spades in this mod though

[frank lake]

correct! now you can find these as playing cards in shop

[modern root]

I had a fun run with Reaper's Hand(K) + Marble Joker + Illusion and survived up to like Ante 12 (or is it 13?), being able to balance cards being destroyed and cards being replenished was a big help.
Also what happens to the Lucky enhancements when they got destroyed by Reaper's Hand? I've noticed activation messages that looks like lucky cards triggering on the Reaper but nothing's showing on the Reaper description.

[surreal crescent]

where can i download this?

if i even can

[ancient hawk]

pinned message

[frank lake]

they are recorded and will trigger in a chance based occasion just like regular luck cards would do. However, it would be too chunky for me to display it, so you would only notice those triggering when it happens

[prisma marsh]

I'm guessing the same happens with a Glass Card's ×2- It has a 1 in 4 chance of being removed after a hand is scored?

[frank lake]

the glass part, yes.

[frank lake]

I also made a trailer for this mod! In case you guys are interested in the reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae5O06sSRlY

[frank lake]

shoot had to replace source because i made a typo to the website

[pure veldt]

Nice trailer!

[rich marlin]

that trailer goes so hard

[lavish musk]

awesome!

[tame gorge]

Game crashes when trying to open the Cigarette Pack on any deck

Modlist

[hidden apex]

Another bug with peace and love

This time I dont know what is the problem

[ancient hawk]

looks like its cause you have sixsuits

[tame gorge]

That indeed fixed it, thanks

[ancient hawk]

how hard would it be to put the xplaying card jokers in their own collection tab? probably in the modded consumables menu in smods 1.0 just to keep the collection menu small

[frank lake]

I think this is partly my fault, let me see if i can make it compatible

[frank lake]

just pushed a fix, hopefully cards are compatible now

[frank lake]

just pushed a fix, thx for finding this out!

[frank lake]

I've thought about this one. I will see if i can do this in SMOD 1.0

[finite tundra]

Maybe federAPI can help?

I think it had a feature for that but Idk

[ancient hawk]

is there a new federAPI?

[frank lake]

I don't think it was necessarily very hard to do, it's just that i know a lot of shady business was handled properly in 1.0 and i think it might be best to stick with the proper implementation

[hidden apex]

you are the best ❤️

[frank lake]

patched a bug mentioned on github issue. Now debuffed X-Playing Cards won't trigger the transformation, expect Bokka

[tulip tartan]

At some point in runs, i start getting this crash when i hover over a cigarette pack

Here's my intuition :

The crash log mentions Bunco, i'm pretty sure that's because Bunco add two new suits, but only after you play a spectrum hand (4 suit + 1 wild card)

But there are no X-playing cards for these two new suits

I don't know anything about coding, but if what i mentioned above is the cause of the crash :

I suppose cigarette packs pull directly from the same pool as playing card packs , and "X-playing card" is just a variable for a card (just like enhancements, seal and edition)

Just from a logic standpoint, i don't see an easy fix for such an incompatibility

To re-iterate, the crash only happens when my mouse cursor is over the cigarette pack in the shop
It's not even a "run ending crash"

For reference here's my mod folder :

[frank lake]

I can see that this is probably caused by my mod's way of adding new booster packs. Your intuition was not wrong, that was an issue and now should be patched. Cigarette Pack no longer generate cards of added suits.

however, I kind of failed to trace the piece of code that failed the game, because i looked into the lines from game file and it makes no sense to me at all. I supposed that it might have been other mod injecting additional code to the game which leads to a misalignment of line numbers. This is probably my fault, but I don't know why it happened

you did mention this only happens after you play a spectrum hand right? I supposed that suggests that it worked fine initially? if so, i will take a look at bunco and see what could be causing this

also, sorry for ping but @daring shadow fiiiiiirch could you take a look at this when you have time? you might spot the exact reason right away

[daring shadow]

uhmmm

[daring shadow]

what happens when you play spectrum is it switches bool value that allows to generate jokers and tarots, but it doesn't add the exotic suits right at this moment

so I don't know what might've happened that is related to spectrums

[tulip tartan]

I will try to replicate the bug, but i won't have time to play until a few day.

I'm not even sure that spectrum hands were the cause, i just know that cigarette packs always work fine at the beginning of my runs and at some point the bug appear -> So the spectrum hand thing (and added suits) was just a guess, because it could make sense

[tulip tartan]

Actually tried to reproduce the bug just now, it doesn't seem to come from Bunco :

I was able to hover over a low light cigarette pack at the beginning of the run, as usual
Played a spectrum hand, came across another cigarette pack
hovered over it -> no crash
I'll try to investigate at the end of the week what other mod caused the incompatibility

For now the only information we have is : early in a run, cigarette packs cause no crash. In multiple run i had, they start causing a crash at some point. From this point, they always cause a crash. Could be Betmma Vouchers (Or the few vouchers added by other mods). Because I can't think of any jokers that mess with packs

[tulip tartan]

@frank lake I found the true incompatibility !

It has nothing to do with Bunco's

It's from the Risk of Jester mod : https://dvrp-balatro-mods.pages.dev/risk-of-jesters

After redeeming the 3D Printer voucher, hovering over a cigarette pack always make the game crash

I'm 100% sure it's this exact combination since i've been able to reproduce it thanks to Debug Plus :

I spawn a cigarette pack, hover over it -> no problem
I spawn a 3D Printer voucher, reedeem it, hover over the cigarette pack -> the game crash

It even happens if I hover over a cigarette pack in the collection menu (but only the collection menu opened in a run, no problem in the collection menu of the main menu/starting screen)

There's only a crash with the cigarette pack, all other modded booster packs work fine

[frank lake]

yeah I took a slightly different approach from other mods so that it's actually more compatible (surprisingly), I will look into this, thx for the info!

ok I found why this is happening, let me contact the author

this again proves the dangerous of direct injection

[frank lake]

is it just me or the image is dead for some reason

[finite tundra]

From the original post?

[tidal patrol]

I also posted this on the repo with some more details, figured it might get spotted faster here-- with High Card Mod (and nothing else) installed, Wheel of Fortune, Aura, and probably other Edition-adding effects aren't working at all. Maybe this is intentional for the X-card related stuff but even on normal cards and vanilla game jokers I can't add special editions. Effects that spawn special edition stuff work though (eg Negative Tag)

Edit: Hex and Ectoplasm work, it's only Aura and Wheel that aren't working I think.

Red Seal is also not causing cards to retrigger.

[frank lake]

what version of game is this? I haven't been following the game's update recently, I don't recall this being an issue, so it might have been the game (also, what SMOD version are you on?)

[tidal patrol]

SMOD 0.9.8
and current version of the game (1.0.1f, as far as I can tell this was the same version the game was on when the mod released)

I'd love to give more info but nothing shows up in the logs anywhere, so I can't even provide an error message

[tidal patrol]

hmm, okay, I'm noticing that after Wheel of Fortune would have triggered, one of my jokers starts wiggling whenever a round ends (presumably the one Wheel hit)
so I guess it's doing something?? but it's not adding an edition

[raven forge]

There’s an overwrite of poll edition in here that doesn’t have any code in which is why wheel won’t work

It will also stop editions from ever spawning

[tidal patrol]

so I could just delete that overwrite and it'd work fine?

well, commented it out for the moment and yeah that's made wheel and aura work, but red seal is still bork

[raven forge]

I’ve not looked for it, but I imagine there’s something similar for calculate_seal

[tidal patrol]

calculate_seal is also overwritten but does call the original at the end

commenting out the whole thing does restore Red Seal functionality though, so there must be something up with it but I'm not very familiar with lua nor this game's codebase so idk what

Here's the overwritten function for your reference

local calculate_seal_OG = Card.calculate_seal
function Card:calculate_seal(context)
    if context.discard then
        for _, jkr in pairs(G.jokers.cards) do
            if jkr.ability.name == 'HCM Wing Wind' then
                --sendInfoMessage("Discard WW")
                local hcm_triggered = hcm_wing_wind_bundle(self, 'Purple', jkr)
                --if hcm_triggered then card_eval_status_text(jkr, 'extra', nil, nil, nil, {message = G.localization.descriptions["Joker"]["j_hcm_wing_wind"]["card_eval"]}) end
            end
        end
    end
    calculate_seal_OG(self, context)
end

[raven forge]

Hmmm I’m not too sure why that would remove base functionality but I am on mobile so can’t test

[tidal patrol]

okay so, commenting out the whole function restores Red Seal functionality, but commenting out all the added stuff (thus turning it into a wrapper for calculate_seal) still breaks them. So either there's a timing issue somehow or the way it's calling calculate_seal isn't working

I copied over the red seal section of the base game's calculate_seal into the start of this function and now the red seals are working and Wing Wind is also still working.
so, idk what that means but whatever works

just for safety, I'm going to copy over the rest of the base game's function and nest in the Wing Wind section at the start of the discard part just to make sure there's not some strange issue I'm unaware of, but that's solved the issue for me at least. idk how ethical a solution it is though

[raven forge]

OH

stick a return in front of where it calls the base function

[tidal patrol]

ohhhhh
well there's my lua knowledge failing in full force but that does seem sensible, lemme try

[raven forge]

It’ll work

[tidal patrol]

yeah that did it

well then, if nothing else I'm glad both problems turned out to be simple oversights

thanks for the help and hopefully @frank lake has also been paying attention in here (sorry for the ping if you were) and can push a quick fix to the project

[frank lake]

This shouldn’t happen tho, because if you look at my overwrite of set edition, it is supposed to be identical to OG game code except two lines which is supposed to make the game safer

[tidal patrol]

your overwrite of poll_edition is not calling poll_edition_OG, it's just totally empty

[frank lake]

OH

That might be it I guess, my bad

[tidal patrol]

and then you need to return calculate_seal_OG in your calculate_seal overwrite, rather than just calling it, and that'll fix red seal

probably because it's a property of Card rather than a core function, I guess

[frank lake]

I will make the change soon. I’m in bed now but I will make sure to get this fixed, thanks for following along with the issue

But the edition part is still quite confusing to me

[tidal patrol]

idk, I just know that commenting out the empty poll_edition overwrite fixed it for me

[frank lake]

^was that all?

[tidal patrol]

I'm not gonna claim I know shit about how balatro works under the hood, but I'm experienced with C# which translates reasonably well to lua as it turns out

those two fixes are all that I know of

I have yet to encounter any other crazy bugs playing with both your mod and a bunch of others installed, and I've logged around 12 hrs with this mod setup so I think if there was other stuff it'd have come up

[frank lake]

Alright I’d get those done soon, many thanks!!

[tidal patrol]

you're welcome, glad that it was a simple fix

[raven forge]

what does your modified set_edition even change?

[frank lake]

the thing we discussed before, adding a check to make sure an edition exist first

ok changes should be live now

[main gust]

Reaally cool mod!

Question : how does selling the x-playing joker and therefore not having it affect the run?

Im confused. Does it do anything the deck and the x-playing cards don't do?

[main gust]

@frank lake

[frank lake]

In a previous design, the xplaying joker is used to make the transformation possible, and the deck is vanilla playing cards

I then decided to redesign the system so that xplaying mechanics is playing card specific

Then xplaying joker is really used to transform vanilla playing cards to xplaying cards

You can also obtain this joker via soul

[main gust]

Ooohh! Playing a vanilla playing card transforms it into an x-playing card! Very nice

I understand now.

Btw is it all possible to have the counterpart of the card to display the description of its respective joker ? Or am i stuck with going to the collection

Love this mod . Im currently watching the anime :3

[frank lake]

I have thought about this before... I thought it might be a little bit more mysterious to leave it vague / standard for players to eventually discover about their effects as they play them, or if they want they can check out collections for details

[frank lake]

glad you liked it! thanks for your support

[main gust]

The xmult on reaper's hand just wen from x7 -> x9 -> x3

It gains them correct?

As in accumulates

How come

[main gust]

Mfw chameleon makes my played hand all clubs even tho there's four hearts 🤬

[main gust]

The x playing deck is kinda hard to use. I can't play 5 card high card without x playing the scoring card. And if i use DNA it will be xplayed.

[frank lake]

probably glass card broke

it collects glass card but it wasn't as easy to show

[main gust]

Ohhh it gains even the chance to break?

[frank lake]

right, in an initial version it does not, but that makes it wayyy too powerful

[main gust]

So no glass. Just steel :3

[frank lake]

surprisingly it is affected by the number of cards, i.e. it's actually 4x more likely for the dominating suit

[main gust]

Had that happen 4x in a row. What luck

[frank lake]

yeah it was mostly serving as a quick all-in-one at this point, you can use some of the ones that interests you right away

[main gust]

Makes me don't wanna go chameleon now

[frank lake]

however, there are quite a few cards that empowers high card play itself / quite universally strong card, try those first

[main gust]

Ok . Will do.

It just feels too restricting. Without having control when to xplay a highcard

I've had runs where i die bc the wrong xplay sabotaged me. But then again. That could just be skill issue lol

In vanilla decks. We can use hands as psuedo discards.

Chuck 5 random cards.

Feels restrictive not having that much freedom with the xplaying deck

xplaying has the cost already of a hand bc i need to play it as a highcard

[steel forge]

@frank lake would it be cool to release the individual card arts as a set of DeckSkins+ skins?

[frank lake]

sure, as long as I'm credited for the art

[steel forge]

That's not a problem at all

here, gimme a sec to show you how it looks in-game and you can tell me if you approve or not (in terms of credit)

this is how the skin looks in-game when selecting it

(the suits are named after ||the four towns the spirits or whatever originate from||)

this took me a hot hour since i had to stitch together all the individual cards but it's totally worth it for the epic art

@frank lake apologies for the double ping i just wanna make sure everything is up to snuff

[dense robin]

Got an interesting error:

Do we know any specific mods that won't work with HighCard?

This is the function it refers to:

    --sendInfoMessage("Update Hand Played")
    if self.buttons then self.buttons:remove(); self.buttons = nil end
    if self.shop then self.shop:remove(); self.shop = nil end

    if not G.STATE_COMPLETE then
        G.STATE_COMPLETE = true
        G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
            trigger = 'immediate',
            func = function()
        if G.GAME.chips - G.GAME.blind.chips >= 0 or G.GAME.current_round.hands_left < 1 then
            G.STATE = G.STATES.NEW_ROUND
        else
            G.STATE = G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND
        end
        G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
        return true
        end
        }))
    end
end```

[tawny onyx]

sorry i cant tell but is this mod still in development or is it avaliable for download on github

[finite tundra]

Yes

[tardy bolt]

looking at it it looks like talisman incompat

[tawny onyx]

im sorry yes? so its avaliable to download or is it still in development?

i figured it out lol, i got crashed out when i tried to play that one card that makes all my hands straights no matter what lol

[steel forge]

The current version is available for Steamodded version 0.9.8, which is outdated (most people are on the 1.0.0 alpha/beta/whatever). So, it's available to download for an outdated version of the mod loader, and still in development (or maybe even cancelled, I dunno) for the current version of the mod launcher

[tawny onyx]

Oh why do you say it might be cancelled?

[finite tundra]

I thought there was a Steamodded version which supported 0.9.8 mods, but maybe there’s conflicts with the many changes this makes

[tidal patrol]

I play this mod on SMOD 1.0.0 beta and it works fine.
I do have a slightly-altered version of the mod for some bugfixes that came up a while back, which I think have been added to the main mod download already, but there might still be some differences between my version and the one available for download.

Anyway here I am responding to comments from two weeks ago like some kind of chump
cough

I wanted to request that the x-playing cards pop up the effects of their joker versions when you hover them, it's a pain to open a cigarette pack and have to manually look up each of the cards in my collection to decide if I want to take them or not.

[dull gyro]

I've been working on a fork of the mod which has something like that and updated compatibility features. Though I opted to provide summaries for flavour purposes as opposed to directly display the entire joker information on the tooltip. Creates a more enticing vibe, and still helps you remember which is which once you've used them.

[dull gyro]

Okay I've been fiddling with this enough that i'm willing to let other people poke at it. Forewarning that it DOES just straight up break on some loadouts and im not entirely sure why. It breaks on my existing mod save on my computer, but not on my laptop, but works on a fresh save on my desktop... you know, consider this an alpha, and i hope Kenny is cool with this
https://github.com/GwyndolynMarchant/Balatro_HighCardMod

[zenith mesa]

is this 1.0 capable yet?

[night gull]

noticed this when first downloading mod; can i get rid of this somehow

[night gull]

found out how

this anime looks really interesting

[night gull]

one small suggestion @frank lake

maybe make it so upon hovering over an x-card with the special joker

maybe give a tooltip as to what the joker is

[dull gyro]

the fork i made has a feature like this, you might want to try it out!

[night gull]

ooh; nice

can i have both installed at the same time or

[dull gyro]

no but i've based mine on the latest release from Kenny, seems they've been away for a while

[zenith mesa]

big sad, mod keeps crashing

[dull gyro]

do you have any context for what you were doing when it prompted the error? just booting the game?

[dull gyro]

i'll try to see if it's a specific mod causing the problem, but if you can tell me what you were doing when it crashed (like, "playing a card", "booting the game", etc.) that'll help narrow it down

[night gull]

legit just starting a round

[dull gyro]

Cool that helps, I'll look into it!

[thick vortex]

@dull gyro
When you got a second, I got a few bugs I wanted to talk about, if that was alright. I also kinda wanna know if they're all me, or if they're more universal.

[dull gyro]

yeah hit me. i can't promise i'll fix it in any timely fashion but i do enjoy patching this weird mod haha

[thick vortex]

So, first thing is editions are just...gone, basically. It's almost impossible to get them, and even when I manage to get something with an edition on it, it just doesn't do the thing it's supposed to. Is that normal?

[night gull]

any like. progress with the bug fix for this?

[night gull]

@dull gyro because this mod is really cool and it'd suck if it just broke lmao

[dull gyro]

yeah been trying to narrow it down. the mods code is pretty old and doens't play nice with other stuff like at all lol. but once i narrow it down i can hopefully throw some new safety checks in.

[dull gyro]

so far editions have seemed to work fine for me. can i have a list of your mods?

also what version of steamodded you're on

[thick vortex]

I'll take a look at Steamodded when I can, but I did the ol' "Skyrim treatment" for it where I deactivated every single last other mod until I found the problem, and I've been having the edition issue even when High Card is the only mod.

[dull gyro]

ooh okay, good to know.

you've got my branch specifically?

[thick vortex]

Unless GitHub is lying to me, or I am having a Severe Dummy Moment™️, that is correct, ma'am.

For Steamodded, version.lua contains:

return "1.0.0~ALPHA-1220a-STEAMODDED"

[dull gyro]

awesome thank you!

[thick vortex]

o7

[finite tundra]

High Card was released for 0.9.8

At some point Steamodded was updated to have some backwards compatibility, but High Card changes a lot of things

[finite tundra]

Out of curiosity, have you looked at the effect that replays the hand?

[dull gyro]

that's a good idea, i'll investigate that

[night gull]

oh does this work for newcalc

[thick vortex]

I thought Gwyn's adoption of the mod was an endeavor to bring it up to date? Or was I mistaken...?

[finite tundra]

idk

[thick vortex]

So, thusfar, I seem to be getting acceptable results from having just gutted the original lua file of every conceivable mention of strip_edition or set_edition, as well as the mod's attempted rewrite of set_edition.
Which just leaves the second error I wanted to mention, which is that Lethal Scoville seems to just crash the game when its joker spawns.

[night gull]

wait you had to like. disassemble the entire mod?

is it

that badly coded?

[thick vortex]

Oh I just meant I opened the Lua file, Ctrl+F'd "edition", and deleted everything that looked like it touched it.
Because it almost became a joke between my fiancee and I that the fastest way to check if High Card was installed was to go to the Collection and open the Editions menu, and see if all the cards were white.

I love the mod to pieces, but I basically accepted for a while that it probably just removed editions because editions fucked with its functionality. It took me some time to realize that not only was that not true, but that apparently, the attempted rewrite of set_edition was worse than vestigial.

Scrolling up in this channel and seeing that it was apparently just trying to sew up the base code for reasons not terribly important to the mod, I figured I'd just take a sledgehammer to thing and start seeing what shook loose. I think the last thing I was expecting was for the nuclear option to work immediately, instead of just highlighting where I should be debugging.

I don't even know anything about modding Balatro, I just have some cursory CySec experience and wasn't getting word back on the issue, so I got impatient and took a peek. XD

I'll probably keep screwing with it though. I imagine it could make other issues.

[dull gyro]

oh hell yeah, glad you found a solution to that. i'll take a shot at doing that on my end too then

i was really busy with other stuff for the last week and a half lol

the original mod is like, really old, and seems to have replicated a lot of functions that it just, doesn't need to, and i hadn't got around to experimenting with the nuclear option yet haha

honestly i should probably pull that trigger more often, i'm always a little hesitant to go nuclear

[night gull]

how goes the work with fixing this mod btw? curious

[dull gyro]

largely got distracted by working on another balatro mod with my gf lol

honestly this is making me wonder though if i just go nuclear i might be able to like, fix a lot of problems

[thick vortex]

It's definitely worth a try! Commenting stuff out is pretty easy to reverse.

[dull gyro]

SMOD has come a long way since the mod came out haha.

[thick vortex]

Oh, for sure. I actually updated Steammodded recently, and for some unknown reason, this causes High Card to stop playing well with Grim, even though it's just a minor update. So I've had to revert to the version I named above, instead of the newest.
Threw a wrench in me testing my theories at first. But I discovered the crashes happened with an undoctored version of the mod too, so I just used the last stable Steammodded and deleted the set_edition replacement again, and have yet to encounter a single bug. Didn't even need to touch the mentions of edition elsewhere in the file.

[dull gyro]

Interesting, yeah okay. It definitely sounds like there is a lot of redundant code here.

[thick vortex]

If you're at all curious, the crashes with Grim came from "packing", which is a mechanic that lets you use consumable slots like an extended hand, throwing cards up into it either for later use in the round, or even later use on a future blind. Naturally, this is very fun with High Card because it lets me run into an X-Card I wanna play later, but not now. 13 Stairs being a common example.
On 1304a, if you play an X-Card while cards are in your Consumable slot, it crashes. On 1220a, it's perfectly stable. No clue what makes that happen.

[dull gyro]

Ooooh okay yeah that does sound like it would be a really fun synergy

[dull gyro]

i pushed a few deletion changes to my branch, hoepfully that gets things running a little more smoothly. would def like to replace more of the functions with stuff that is now directly supported in Steamodded

[robust violet]

Apologies for the ping, but I'm making a Deck Skins List and the mod Melody made is now kinda outdated. I was wondering if I could make a new, updated version of the mod and post it in there, with credits of course :)

[frank lake]

For sure! Go ahead

[robust violet]

Thanks dude! :)

[zealous scarab]

Randomly stumbled upon this while updating all the balatro mods I've been using (and adding more stuff to the mix)
Is this still being worked on?

[nova cedar]

Why did you just go to every dead thread and add a comment
Now I have to scroll past all of these dead threads to find more shitpost mods 😭

[zealous scarab]

im sorry bro i wanted to add mods to my modpack

[nova cedar]

Then just add them
No need to ask
If it doesn't work, you just take it out
