Splatro- Balatro Splatoon Mashup

[frigid furnace]

This is my Journey into trying to make a mod thata brings my favourite game to Balatro , i don't have any experience but i still wanna try , any help is accepted and suggestions are open, the aim for this mod is to add a deck and jockers to complement that deck and standard play

Here is the first Idea for the Gimmick Joker for the Deck.
**-**Enemy Color - Legendary - Unobtainable aside from the special deck - Always eternal.
If the card played is not an INK card , chips X0.5 when card scores.

**-**INK card: assign X1.2 chips of the original value and have 1 in 2 chance to give 1$ when scored

- Inked Deck: Starts with a Negative joker "Enemy Color" and every number card is an INK card

Forgot to post , here's the design of the "Enemy Color" Joker

[frigid furnace]

Since coding is hard , here's just a simple visual update on the first jolly, i'll start working on the next one right away

[frigid furnace]

I hereby present to you the first card added to the game , it's still not working but at least it's something

[sullen barn]

What kinda cards are you planning on adding?

[frigid furnace]

as soon as the Enhanced API gets released i'll add the Ink enhancement and also Jokers that give boosts based on Inked Cards

also consumables to ink said cards

i was also thinking of a "Golden Egg" stamp to go in pair with "The Company " joker i'm currently designing

suggestions are open obviously

[sullen barn]

Are you planning on having cards based on any of the characters in Splatoon?

[frigid furnace]

maybe , but i currently don't have any effects in mind

"The Company" is based off of GrizzCo. maybe i could think of something including Mr. Grizz himself with a debuffing effect due to the fur while powering himself up

[sullen barn]

You could add in the fur goop stuff from Splat3

Maybe Mr. Grizz could like, infect other cards around him with it

[frigid furnace]

exactly what i was thinking about

[valid grail]

WAIT OMG

PLEASE CAN I HELP MAKE THIS 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[devout light]

This might be a banger, ima keep tabs on this one

[frigid furnace]

sure

[frigid furnace]

Here is the first art for "The Company"

[valid grail]

whats the code plan for that?

[frigid furnace]

- The Company - Uncommon
This Joker gains X0.1 mult every time a Golden Egg seal is activated
(currently X1)

• Golden Egg Seal
  On activation give +25 chips +1$

[valid grail]

ooh nice

i see i see

(i also wouldnt know how to do that but i see the way it could work!)

[frigid furnace]

i think this will be the first card I'll try to code

[frigid furnace]

here's the upscaled version

[frigid furnace]

nvm , thanks to Layman help and suggestions here's the definitive version of the The Company

currently working of fixing the "Enemy Color" Joker

then i'll start working on the stamps/seals

[frigid furnace]

Here's the final version of "Enemy Color"

[frigid furnace]

Here's the Golden Egg Seal (currently just a texture of Green Seal)

SplatJoker- Balatro Splatoon Mashup (currently 0.5*3/???)

[frigid furnace]

currently at this point , I'll go to sleep and try figuring it out tomorrow

[frigid furnace]

since i'm not getting any programming done , here's the design for "Subject#3" (i still have to figure out the proper effects)

[sullen barn]

Okay I think you should make the goop at the bottom a little more detailed

https://youtu.be/ye21r27kN9I?si=dNVVSqFGP2gVPKj2 also this video has really good advice when it comes to lines for pixel art

Hope I don’t come off as rude giving you critique out of the blue btw

[frigid furnace]

yeah i don't like it either ,and this is kinda of a rushed version cause i got carried and i'm late for a birthday party

[sullen barn]

Hell yeah cake

[frigid furnace]

SplatJoker- Balatro Splatoon Mashup (currently 0.5*3.5/???)

[devout light]

I've been thinking of many things that i'd love to see or help out, love the idea.

But i'd like to drop a little idea, A joker for Tacticooler
-Every 3 hands (more or less idk) played or something re-trigger the 2 adjacent jokers
(Like they are getting the buff for a bit )

Would love to see more jokers around the Golden eggs, building a golden egg deck would be fun

If you want more ideas i'd love to help think of more, if not i sit and watch this be made

[frigid furnace]

as of now I'm thinking about 3 kinds of stamps .

Golden Eggs:
-Every time a card scores add 25 chip and +1 $

Fur Covered:
-Every time a card scores add X1.7 Mult and remove 15 chip

Sanitized:
-Every time a card scores add 13 chip and X1.3 Mult (1 in 2 chance of failing)

[devout light]

Are there going to be easier ways to get the stamps? Kinda like the certificate joker?

[frigid furnace]

Subject#3 adds a Fur covered stamp every time a card is played

like midas

[devout light]

Okay that's fun

Fun combo could be something like Little buddy can eat fur stamps before they are played
(the vampire joker but for the stamps)

no idea if that can even be done lmao

[frigid furnace]

I've seen it done, will think about it

Subject#3 Lil Buddy combo

[frigid furnace]

Next card I'll be designing is definitely Conmander Tartar , also I'll start programming starting Thursday

[frigid furnace]

sorry for being absent, I've been kind of busy with school

[frigid furnace]

enough slacking off , time to get designing

[devout light]

[frigid furnace]

(I'm miserably failing) (thanks for the support)

[frigid furnace]

just concepts

[frigid furnace]

background time

[frigid furnace]

background done

[frigid furnace]

here's the asset for the card "Savior" still unsure about the effects

[devout light]

OH that looks clean

[frigid furnace]

trying to understand how to make this goopy stuff for the portal

[frigid furnace]

spent way too much time on the shading , now i can actually move to the bones floating in the goop and then the background

bony bits are done

now it's time for shading and the floating pillar/spine thingy sustaining the orb

[devout light]

excited to see what it turns out to be

[frigid furnace]

I actually do have an update but I'd rather finish the background and the whole card first

I'm too tired today , tomorrow is my birthday and I'll try finishing it

[frigid furnace]

here's the finished design

ik i said i was going to do it tomorrow but i preferred doing it today

[glacial skiff]

Nice little design- Really loved that boss fight from 3platoon

[odd onyx]

You really not gonna call it Spalatro?

[frigid furnace]

great suggestion

Splalatro- Balatro Splatoon Mashup (currently 0.5*3.5/???)

[odd onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/sammycramy-splatoon-octoling-dance-epic-gif-12585839943054989298

Very cool

[glacial skiff]

Now I'm trying to think if it'd be possible to have a fully animated Joker art for the various victory animations

[pastel lake]

animated jokers are possible

[glacial skiff]

Nice! Then I could definitely try thinking of effects that'd fit some of the Victory Animations

If anything, I can imagine there being an entire collection of 'Victory' Jokers based on those animations that actually scale with the number of 'Victory' Jokers

[coral pike]

splatro

[coral pike]

what if they're like the tribal jokers where they all target different hands

"If final played hand of round is a Pair, add 1 permanent copy of last scored card to Deck" for example

you win with a hand and they do things if you do

i'm bored so i'm gonna concept some effects for jokers like this

pair - get $5 and add foil to a random joker
two pair - retrigger all played cards during next round
3oak - give 3x mult on next scored hand
flush - scales based on the suit of flush that you win with, +chips for spades, xmult for hearts, +$ for diamonds and +mult for clubs
straight - reduce next boss blind requirement by 10%, repeatable
full house - turn all cards in final played hand into ink cards (those are a good thing in this mod right)
4oak - add foil/holo/polychrome/negative to a random joker, 1 in 4 chance to repeat effect
5oak (can only appear if you have the hand unlocked) - add a permanent copy of last scored card to Deck
flush 5 (can only appear if you have the hand unlocked - all cards held in hand (not played) at end of round have their rank and suit changed to match the cards played in the final hand of the round
flush house (can only appear if you have the hand unlocked - replace all foil jokers with holo, all holo jokers with poly, and all poly jokers with negative

and this is if final played hand is a hand, not if it contains a hand, these cannot stack

oh yeah and two pair

no highcard because FUCK highcard all my homies hate highcard

i'd put these jokers as uncommons because they don't do anything unless you're already winning

if you are winning and have slots to spare, they're worth picking up

maybe there's just one "victory pose" joker, which is a rare, and its effect and animation changes (to one of these) based on your most played hand

that way it's easier to get the one for the hand you need

[static thistle]

I feel high card, if all these are combined into one Joker, we just say L

[coral pike]

if you win with highcard you go directly to jail

do not pass jimbo
do not collect tag

all your hands go to level zero

and the only joker you can have is red card but they all get replaced with new red cards when a blind is selected

so you can't scale them and they're eternal and they're debuffed

and you get no money or interest and the only joker in the shop is red card

and all your consumables are removed when blind selected

• forced lobotomy

you can't skip blinds and you go directly to the gold stake ante 8 boss which happens to be all cards debuffed until 1 joker sold

but you can't sell a joker so you get no enhancements or editions

[calm jewel]

make high card the dab emote and make it do nothing

and flush five the 100x victory animation but thats like a combo of four different ones

then regular five of a kind can be the 10x win emote

[frigid furnace]

sorry for not being able to text in the past few days , school has been though , i have an important C1 Cambridge exam coming next week and i wont be able to do any progress on the mod , on a different note thank you all for the suggestions , i'm still utterly inexperienced in the modding scene so I think I won't be able to add any of the current suggestions . That said i will take a break for the next 2 weeks , development starts back on monday the 10th but it will be on background since it's summer and i can't stay at home all day. Thank you all for the support showed if anyone knows how to help I'll gladly accept it.
Until then , "Staaay Fresh!!!"
- Rana, The developer of Splalatro

Special thanks to @sullen barn @valid grail @devout light for showing their support since the beginning and to @random sequoia for guiding me through pixel art

[devout light]

Good luck

[valid grail]

:D you got this, keep it up!

[frigid furnace]

teaser of the card that will come after the pause

[calm jewel]

oo neat!

id like ti help but i dont really have any experience in anything just suggestions

[frigid furnace]

and we are back , tomorrow I'll post the update for the deep cut card (I'm still stuck thanks to frye)

[coral pike]

does that mean i can start posting way too many card ideas now

[frigid furnace]

(i still don't know how to program but i can try drawing them for now)

[coral pike]

is that a yes

[frigid furnace]

(yes)

[coral pike]

okay

so i just had a flash of inspiration

special cards

a new type of consumable or just a new type of card in its own slot somewhere
play inked cards -> charge special -> use one-time powerful effect

and then you have to charge it up again

[frigid furnace]

i was thinking of adding secondary weapons (bombs etc) to ink most cards

[coral pike]

they'd work as jokers

[frigid furnace]

as consumables

[coral pike]

i think making them jokers would be cooler because they can have different activation times reflecting the different properties of the bombs

like a suction bomb could ink all the cards in the final played hand of a round

a burst bomb does it the next time you play a hand

ink mines are on sell, fizzy bombs activate multiple times

[frigid furnace]

i was thinking more about using different kind of bombs to ink in different ways , still doing what you were saying but as consumables , for example:
Burst bomb: Inks 3 adjacent cards
Ink mine: when hand played inks 3 random cards in your hand
Suction Bomb: when hand played inks 3 random cards
Fizzy bombs: inks 1 random card for every hand discarded (max 3)
Torpedo: inks up to 2 selected cards
so on so forth

[coral pike]

these effects still look more like joker effects outside torpedo and burst

[frigid furnace]

yeah but they would activate only once on the next hand after the usage

[coral pike]

that sounds unintuitive and would add extra text to every bomb

[frigid furnace]

and also Inked is the worst kind of Ink

[coral pike]

there's different kinds of ink?

[frigid furnace]

yeh

[frigid furnace]

.

[coral pike]

whatever the good one is then

those are seals

hey wait a minute

Every time a card scores add 13 chip and X1.3 Mult

that's busted as hell

[frigid furnace]

yeah , ink is a seal

[coral pike]

even at a 50% success rate

[frigid furnace]

1 in 4?

[coral pike]

i think it should be an enhancement

[coral pike]

sanitised should disable all card abilities but make the card unable to be debuffed imo

always drawn face-up too

you get it for consistency

[frigid furnace]

that could be Ordered too

[coral pike]

ordered gotta buff straights though

straights need it

ordered cards retrigger if they're played in a straight

[frigid furnace]

ordered should be a buffed multicolor

anyway specifics still need to be decided

[coral pike]

i do think inked/sanitised/ordered are better as enhancements

than seals

[frigid furnace]

the main reason i wanted to make seals was because enhancements were harder to make when i started , idk if they still are

[coral pike]

there is an enhancement API i think

[frigid furnace]

it was in development when i started

[frigid furnace]

(i hate frye's mask)

[coral pike]

what happened to this

[wind lagoon]

This project still alive?

[coral pike]

if not I could pick it up

@frigid furnace haven't seen you in awhile how's it going

[frigid furnace]

i gave up

I'll give you all the files , you can proceed as you wish

i couldn't make it

[frigid furnace]

I'm sorry

[coral pike]

gave up why

you don't need to apologise for it

[frigid furnace]

i don't have the knowledge nor the time to do this

[coral pike]

ah i see

i hope you're doing alright

your status doesn't look good

[frigid furnace]

just school being rough

[coral pike]

real asf

you'll make it through

I believe in you for what it's worth

[frigid furnace]

@coral pike can i dm you?

[coral pike]

accept my friend request and then sure

i have requests and dms off for reasons i can't disclose

[unborn palm]

i will be watching this with interest

[coral pike]

admittedly i've had this floating around in my mods folder for a bit now and haven't made much progress on it since my coding break

this had reminded me to pick up the pace again

i'm gonna do that today and it's probably gonna use talisman as a dependency if you're too stupid to download a dependency then I don't give a fuck it's your problem not mine

:)

[unborn palm]

hell yeah! tried using talisman with a mod but i needed a specific version

[glacial skiff]

Fair point. Meanwhile, I still remember when I was trying to think of abilities for each of the Splatoon 3 victory animations

[coral pike]

this shouldn't require any specific version jargon

any talisman update relatively recently made should work

i say shouldn't/should because i don't know much about talisman's update history

worst case, whatever the latest talisman version is should work

[coral pike]

sooo it turns out

talisman HATES playing cards

that's annoying but oh well !

[unborn palm]

ooh. you know the color chips

you could easily make thos ejokers

[coral pike]

they'd probably be better as consumables

giving passive effects while held in consumable slots

that sounds nice

but before that I've got a small checklist of things to make real fast

[coral pike]

yeah about this

the original effect for the golden egg seal was X1.2 chips and $1 when scored, but talisman doesn't have xchips support for playing cards, and the +chips message is hard coded into the game so I can't replace it, gonna need another effect for that seal
but other than that, it is implemented and the +$1 works

i am having some trouble with the localization file in regards to its corresponding joker

[glacial skiff]

Maybe it could just be the $1 and something like +50 or +100 Chips?

[coral pike]

well the issue here is just like

it's so similar to the gold seal

not sure how to make it more distinct from the gold seal while being faithful to the source material

[glacial skiff]

Hmm. What if it was like Gold Seal... but only if you held it in your hand, like a Gold Card?

[coral pike]

thinking about golden eggs as a whole I thought it might be good to give them some kind of end of round effect or a powerful effect that only activates after X number golden egg seals are scored per hand

[coral pike]

well then it's just a gold card.

[glacial skiff]

Hmm... Well, if we have it make money, it's a worse Gold Seal/Card, we can't do retriggers as that's Red, and Tarots/Planets don't make sense for this so we don't have to worry about Purple/Blue

Maybe it could involve giving other cards the Golden Egg Seal for some kind of benefit, like you're passing it between teammates in Splatoon 3?

[coral pike]

i think it's bad design to have a card modifier jump between cards but you might be onto something with that

each golden egg seal card could give every other golden egg seal card in the played hand permanent benefits

+5 chips and +1 mult per golden egg seal card

i picked those numbers arbitrarily

that embodies the idea of passing eggs and collection a lot of them to fill a quota, and getting a score boost for how many there are

i think that's good for the money to be put aside

that should be pretty easy to get working, i'll do it tomorrow

[glacial skiff]

Yeah, that could be interesting

[deep sonnet]

NO WAY SPLOON MOD WOOOOOOOOO

[unborn palm]

spoon

[unborn palm]

you could make brands into their own jokers

[coral pike]

I could, but right now I have a preset list of things to get working

and I can't really do much with this mod because the localization is just... Not working?

i can try re-dumping the localization from loc_txt maybe

also, probably going to wait for at least cryptid to move to better calc, then use that

better calc will allow for much more unique consumable design

[frigid furnace]

sooo , I'm back , i still don't know nothing on the programming side , but I'm here willing to help with whatever is needed on the art side of the project , thank you @coral pike for not giving up on this project.

[coral pike]

yeah currently just waiting for more mods (mostly cryptid for me personally) to move over to bettercalc though because it's gonna be pretty important for a couple things

like color chips as consumables that have passive effects when you just hold them

that isn't possible on old calc

[frigid furnace]

okok

let me know if you need any assets

[coral pike]

will do

[unborn palm]

i can do art too if you need it; or concepting abilities

[coral pike]

they seem to be going for better calc in a few days i think

[frigid furnace]

Splalatro- Balatro Splatoon Mashup (currently 0/???)

[frigid furnace]

while doing sidequests i stumbled upon doing this color chip soo

[unborn palm]

ooh

[frigid furnace]

boost to not get archived

[unborn palm]

i def need this.

[coral pike]

oh yeah uh

doesn't smods officially support xchips now

isnt that just awesome

[coral pike]

now that ive finally almost officially moved to new calc i get to troubleshoot yay

[unborn palm]

HOW MANY MODS ARE YOU MAKING I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE 😭

[red pond]

this looks so cool lol

[coral pike]

too many

this one has been an older one ive been wanting to get going but ive been having really strange issues with localization of the golden egg seal

either its description doesn't show up, or its info queue doesn't show up on the company

[deep sonnet]

Bump

[frigid furnace]

thank you for keeping a tiny space for this mod in your schedule , you are the GOAT

[coral pike]

i will continue bashing my head into this wall until the localization works

i'm gonna try a brute force method

[coral pike]

oh my god

i think i found out what the problem is

i haven't been putting s_ in front of the seal key.

that's probably it, isn't it.

okay it didn't work

nevermind i guess

[coral pike]

I got it to work

jesus fucking christ okay so

the issue was that I was using variables for the chips and xchips

but I want those variables to still be there on the seal and update the description properly

but for the base tooltip which is on the joker and spectral, they don't need that

so I made a second copy of the localization entry

where the only change is removing the variables

so they're static values on that copy specifically

I can finally escape

company hell

right after I give it an event queue

[coral pike]

problems after problems graaagh

it's doing the xchips twice

updated talisman to fix that

well that was a fucking nightmare but it's done now and I can leave it alone forever and move on to something else

only took me 3 hours

lol

smods added official xchips support which made things easier

just now realising that i never wrote down what all the things do

i'm gonna try and catalogue everything

[coral pike]

aside the things i've already added to the sheet there's some other ideas floating around that need finalising

oh yeah i made a sheet so i could start putting stuff on it and tracking progress

[red pond]

good luck, this seems like it'll take/it is taking a while

[coral pike]

we are so back

[frigid furnace]

we indeed are

[frigid furnace]

sneak peak at the art

[fair folio]

makes me wanna do a run of the order dlc

[frigid furnace]

did you say side order?

[red pond]

that looks eepic lol

can't wait for this mod

[frigid furnace]

this is new stuff you haven't seen before

[undone needle]

that blender tarot card is absolutely sick /pos

[red pond]

oh ma god that is so cool

[unborn palm]

oh this is sick

[frigid furnace]

i have to tell you that smollusk will not be in the first wave of content of the mod but we do have a new addition to the team

[red pond]

aw hell yeah

i am so genuinely excited for this mod

[fair folio]

https://tenor.com/view/pearl-splatoon-2-splatoon-3-splatoon-dancing-gif-9541546833592575465

[frigid furnace]

Thank you everyone that supported this mod , we are ready to announce that "Splalatro" 's first wave of content is coming really really soon

[frigid furnace]

really really soon is right now
Splalatro's first wave of content is live and you can check it right here

[coral pike]

now i sit here and wait for someone to report a startup crash or some other very large bug because that always happens after i make a mod release

[muted bone]

Why isn't the name just Splatro?

Splalatro seems like a mouthful

But that's just my own thoughts

[coral pike]

i wish you could've said that like

any sooner than right now

I guess we could change the mod name? but that will change the github link so
if we do that we do it now or we never do it

[muted bone]

Almost as bad as Balala

[muted bone]

Holy shit this is genius

[frigid furnace]

change

[coral pike]

so what do you think about changing the mod name

[frigid furnace]

i guess we could
(i need to change the image)

[muted bone]

I was going to say the name Spalatro but then the pun wouldn't work

[coral pike]

yeah that removes an L

also the word is portmanteau

[coral pike]

i will get to updating the mod files in the meanwhile then

repo name changed so this link should change too

name changed in mod files

i just

went through and used find and replace on every instance of splalatro and changed it to splatro

oh fuck i think i broke the mod icon

fixed

[frigid furnace]

Splatro- Balatro Splatoon Mashup (currently 0/???)

[muted bone]

Splatro but we pronounce it as Spalatro

[frigid furnace]

...

[coral pike]

made a new release for the name change so we should be good now

https://github.com/Maratby/Splatro

[frigid furnace]

@solar nest if you could please pin this message

Splatro is up for play

[muted bone]

So much better

I also wanted to say something, I hope that the Salmonids get some attention in this mod

[frigid furnace]

currently there's grizzco's

[muted bone]

There's so much Splatoon content to pull from

It's insane

[coral pike]

yeah there's a bunch of room to do basically anything

[muted bone]

I'm def trying this

[coral pike]

this mod might end up with like

3 sets of consumables

[frigid furnace]

please report any glitches or problems

[coral pike]

assuming I can figure out how to make one set in the first place

how hard could it be

[frigid furnace]

there's a guy who did new consumables

[coral pike]

yeah ive got a reference

[frigid furnace]

i think it's reverie?

[muted bone]

New consumables, my favorite

[coral pike]

sdm0 made new consumables and i already have his mod so

[fair folio]

Egg

[coral pike]

egg

[fair folio]

But yee I'm super excited to try this mod

I haven't looked at all the changes, but an idea I had is the King Salmonids as final boss blinds

[muted bone]

They must be the finisher blinds

The boss blinds really just fit the salmonids so well

[fair folio]

Yee that's what I was referring to

that golden egg seal is so cute

[coral pike]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-noted-notes-gif-26231953

[fair folio]

I actually realized this got released during a big run event lol

[coral pike]

oh neat

[reef sierra]

Ooooh rly cute sprite hehehe

[coral pike]

https://github.com/Maratby/Splatro/releases/tag/0.1.3a whoops

[frigid furnace]

Splatro- Balatro Splatoon Mashup

[frigid furnace]

it had been a while since i had made a joker for this

[iron salmon]

This is so cute

[red pond]

i dont think this'll happen but i would love for a card skin to go with this mod like the joker seen on the mod logo

[coral pike]

that's probably going to become a joker or a deck

no final plan for it yet, but the previous concept for it was more fitting as a challenge

[red pond]

yeah

[frigid furnace]

coming soon

[coral pike]

$20 usd

[clear slate]

holy peak

i love splatrto

[undone needle]

Hey yall, I just encountered some unexpected behavior when downloading this mod. After installing the mod, everything that I had locked was suddenly unlocked, namely the Erratic Sleeve from the CardSleeves mod (which would normally be unlocked after beating Erratic Deck on Orange Stake), as well as all the stakes. The images below clearly indicate that that shouldn't be the case. This happened on a profile that was previously not an "unlock all" profile, and upon removing Splatro from my mod folder, all the items that had been unlocked because of this bug returned to being locked.

[coral pike]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

what the fuck

I have not touched unlocks in any capacity in this mod

also I haven't had this bug?

I have other decks and sleeves that are locked

I got no idea what's going on here

but I think it's a thing with another mod

cause I've never had this

[undone needle]

yeah i updated steamodded and it works correctly now, definitely weird

[coral pike]

alright

[uncut quarry]

I think I'm just in a other games in balatro mood, but I think that tonight I'm gonna start working on the Modded Balatro Wiki section for this mod.

[weak osprey]

Hey, can you guys please help me out with my splatoon jimbo? I need suggestions, and help on the text

[coral pike]

see the splatoon wiki for the text (https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Language_in_the_Splatoon_series)

there's a bunch of different splatoon dialects

some of which can be translated, some of which are made to look like english characters

depends what vibes you're going for

I don't do any of the art for this mod so thats the extent i can do

[weak osprey]

thanks 👍
square text might be better for pixel art

[frigid furnace]

trust me it's hell

[frigid furnace]

i'm back at work spriting

anyone wants a drink?

[coral pike]

well too fuckin bad, all you're getting is a chip of a type you don't need, an extra life and a sub weapon change to TOXIC MIST

[muted bone]

Stupid vending machine

[fair folio]

Toxic mist? more like splash wall

and 25 pearls

[coral pike]

hey splash wall is good

[coral pike]

I don't know if mem cakes will be represented

the hard thing about it

is that I wanna make it a set of consumables

but we already have 3 potential consumable sets planned

so I don't wanna overcrowd stuff

mem cake joker is cool but if it had an effect itd have to follow the mem cake poems

[weak osprey]

wait is there a specific way the memcake poems are written?

or are they just regular poems

In the English version, all mem cake descriptions are written in poems, following an A-BB-A rhyme scheme. They also follow an 8-8-8 syllabic format.
from the Inkipedia

looks like i'm gonna go try and reword my description to that poem style

[coral pike]

yeah

it's super cool the way they do it

also the memcakes tell us that octopods are suicide bombers

reference the last line of their poem "Your loved ones have to bear that load"

[weak osprey]

Oh cool

[frigid furnace]

ok so yeah

we are back , i think

[coral pike]

we are BACK!!!

[frigid furnace]

we got the first new sprite

[coral pike]

gaming

[undone needle]

i was just about to ask if this mod was still being worked on, nice to see the progress!

absolutely love that Dedf1sh voucher

curious if pre-sanitized Acht might be the second tier 👀

[frigid furnace]

thank you for the support , I've just recently started working on the art again

I'm cooking up something new

[coral pike]

oh right gifs are blocked

[undone needle]

yooooooo

your sprite work is amazing

[frigid furnace]

here's the final version

[frigid furnace]

it's really not that much

[coral pike]

it is though you're really good at this

[undone needle]

Seconded ^

[coral pike]

I JUST realised the main lua file for splalatro (we changed the name early in development) was on the github this whole time

I don't think it interfered with the mod in any way but

damn

[frigid furnace]

what

the like 15 lines of broken code i coded at the start?

[coral pike]

no not that early

like the version I put on the github before we changed the name

version 1.0.0 stuff I deleted the file now though

i'm updating probabilities

[frigid furnace]

ohhhh

[wild oracle]

17

nevermind

[frigid furnace]

oh no

thank you

@coral pike we got the number

[wild oracle]

oop rad

no idea what it's for

[coral pike]

what

[wild oracle]

:p

[coral pike]

you know what fuck it

sure

I like that

that's funny as hell

[frigid furnace]

you have critically contributed to the creation of a card

[wild oracle]

oh god

[coral pike]

love your work btw

[wild oracle]

oh thank you :] i should really get back to not procrastinating and actually working on that

[frigid furnace]

oh no it closed again

[coral pike]

that just happens sometimes

[frigid furnace]

Ok so new tarot and i believe i cooked

also for everyone that still follow this project we might have updates soon

[wild oracle]

:y

[frigid furnace]

Everyone here

beta test for the new version really really soon

[coral pike]

free labor i mean

uhh what

[frigid furnace]

i think you mean free new content to enjoy

[coral pike]

ah yeah yeah

free new balatroing

https://github.com/Maratby/Splatro/releases/tag/0.2
now the rule of thumb whenever I make a mod release is

right after I make the release, there will be a very intrusive and important crash

which I have to fix

day 1

that's how it always goes without fail

[coral pike]

gifs are blocked

graaagh

i hate this place

[frigid furnace]

no they are not blocked?

[coral pike]

power-CC seems to be broken

looking into it soon

[undone needle]

hey, just a QOL suggestion: could the rainbow smudges on the Mammalian enhancement be moved to the upper left and lower right corners so that the card rank and suit are a bit easier to read?

[frigid furnace]

but they aren't

i tried it first with the smudges flipped and they were harder to read

[undone needle]

ah fair

[frigid furnace]

it's probably because this mod you are using uses a similar color to the background

[undone needle]

fair enough

[frigid furnace]

let me know if it causes problems with the normal suits and I'll change it right away for better clarity

I'm all for color visibility

since i struggle with it myself

[undone needle]

okay!

[undone needle]

unexpected behavior this time around. Can't play a six-card hand with the Range-8F chip. Cryptid even recognizes it as an ascended hand (hence why the chips and mult background UI changed to yellow), but the Play Hand and Discard buttons are greyed out.

[coral pike]

I hate cryptid graaaagh

they break all my shit

your smods version might be outdated?

the play hand and discard buttons usually say "up to X" below them when you have extra selection limit

that's not showing up, so either cryptid fucks with it heavy (VERY LIKELY) or you're on an outdated smods version and updating will fix it

if cryptid fucks with it heavy, I can't really fix it, I don't know what's wrong with it if cryptid is fucking with it

[coral pike]

also yeah on the first version of that sprite they were in the other corners

we decided to flip them because it was too hard to read

but this is moreso reshuffled's fault for crimson heart making all the diamonds unreadable

I'm pretty sure that's what texture pack you're using?

unless CH reused it for something else, which would make sense given what I know about them

[undone needle]

It’s actually the Stars suit from Paperback

But i tested it on the vanilla suits and it looks fine

[coral pike]

it reminded me of the original reshuffled's diamond suit

crimson heart made the symbols and colors of every single card different

[undone needle]

My version is the latest release version. Should I try just pulling from the main on girhub?

[coral pike]

oh I haven't updated for the release that came out like 3 days ago or so

idk if it broke stuff

[undone needle]

Yeah I’m on beta 821b iirc

[coral pike]

if I find out it broke anything I will fix it when I update my smods

[undone needle]

Sounds good!

[gloomy python]

how's progress been going 👀

[frigid furnace]

silksong

[gloomy python]

that is completely fair enough

silksong peak 🙏

[coral pike]

we have a beta out idk if anyone saw it

also I need to fix one of the range chips

the card selection limit isn't working and I think I know what's wrong with it I just need to lock the fuck in and actually fix it

[wild lion]

Kind of small detail to suggest:

Make it where the "YOU WIN" text says "TEST PASSED!" and "GAME OVER" becomes "TEST FAILED" just like in Octo Expansion

[coral pike]

hmm

would I have to lovely patch for that

if they have a thing dedicated for it like they do with the mr bones saved messages then i'll go for it

[wild lion]

No, it can be done in the localization file

[coral pike]

oh right you can override localization somehowwww

i've forgotten how to do it but i did it once a long ass time ago

ill see about it

[wild lion]

I can fork the Splatro repository and make changes to the localization file

Pull Request now ready

[coral pike]

oh yeah github

[wild lion]

Are there any other things that are on the mod's to-do list?

[coral pike]

code wise, not really, we do have other content that needs doing, but i havent heard from @frigid furnace in a while, they're likely busy with irl stuff, they're the artist here

I might try my hand at some legendaries, ive been learning some art on my own time

and crossmod color chips are an option that I could look into since the chips' art outside the categories is just slight tone changes to the chips

or just more chips in general

i'm still keeping the mod maintained and stable even if regular content could be slow for some time

i still havent fixed the +1 selection limit chip

and there are definitely some favourite chips i should probably do something about balance wise

gifs are still blocked obligatory insert mod plug uhh what other catchphrases do i use here

every broken update counts in scoring

uhh

aces aren't numberered cards

[coral pike]

merged it

if people want legendaryslop i can do that for splatoon characters probably

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wild lion]

So looks like SMODS has a thing to adjust the card selection amount (sourced data from: AikoShen's Free Will Umbral Card)

[coral pike]

yeah i made the chip before those were a thing

ive just been procrastinating the fix for months

[wild lion]

What exactly needs fixing?

[coral pike]

i just need to replace the old method with the new change_play and change_discard limit arguments

its a super simple thing

im just really bad at being productive

[wild lion]

Which chip exactly?

[coral pike]

uhhhhh

i think it's in the support bracket?

i dont remember which chip it is

[wild lion]

It's Range-8F

[coral pike]

oh yeah it makes more sense being in range

[wild lion]

@coral pike Alright, enjoy.

PR #2

[coral pike]

oh yeah

there were

definitely better ways to implement the pearl drone effect

like i couldve put all that code inside the pearl drone joker instead of putting it

in every single color chip

or I couldve put it in the SMODS.colorchip definition

so its automatically added to every color chip

merged pr

[frigid furnace]

I've been busy with uni , I'm sorry if I just disappeared , as soon as this exam session end I'm gonna be back on the project

[coral pike]

its all good

[dire sierra]

Oh hey, good to see that this mod became something, I saw this thread early in its infancy and it inspired me enough to sprite one singular joker card styled color chip on my own, so it's funny to me specifically, checking in and seeing them as actual things in here

[wild lion]

I'm an absolute nutjob for Splatoon

So seeing Splatoon x Balatro is a heaven-like mashup.

I have an idea for a new thing:

What if you had challenges that were like Stations from Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion

i.e: A challenge where all Chip Jokers are banned.

[coral pike]

this is a cool idea

though I am not sure how I would implement it properly

[wild lion]

I mean, you can just do the SMODS.Challenge method of throwing them in.

[coral pike]

oh right Challenges

[wild lion]

-# And it would be much funnier with the loss and win messages.

[coral pike]

I kinda

forgot challenges existed
