#

there is a surprising amount of intricacy with this

#

gonna put updates here whenever stuff is implemented, feel free to ask questions as long as youre taking the mod seriously

naive rain May 9, 2024, 10:02 PM

#

i should make a list

naive rain May 10, 2024, 6:26 AM

#

heres a list of what each of the basegame decks become when half stake is applied to them, modded decks should also work fine with this stake though

📎 half_stake_decks.txt

#

if its unclear what i mean by terms such as "1/2 hand" or "1/2 overstock" then please let me know and i will explain it

#

probably not gonna finish this mod though since literally nobody cares

#

absolutely no motivation either

#

yeah i think im just gonna take a break from this game for like a month ig

#

actually no thats too long
a week

#

idk i just want a break from it ig
no idea who i think im talking to but im probably not causing any issues so its fine

#

yeah im just gonna do the thing now

[ON HOLD/CANCELLED] Half Stake - Deck Effects are Halved

winged stream May 10, 2024, 6:45 AM

#

what the fuck

naive rain May 10, 2024, 6:47 AM

#

hi yes i was considering making a mod implementing half cards and stuff but everyone hated it for seemingly no reason

#

well its probably not everyone but ive only heard like one positive comment about it so far

winged stream May 10, 2024, 6:48 AM

#

Mhm

#

So did you actually get threats or was that just being proactive

naive rain May 10, 2024, 6:49 AM

#

no but i wanted to be safe

winged stream May 10, 2024, 6:50 AM

#

I think that would have the opposite effect frankly

#

I was certainly not even considering the concept of sending threats over a random mod before I saw you bring it up

naive rain May 10, 2024, 6:51 AM

#

okay ill change it then

winged stream May 10, 2024, 6:51 AM

#

I think you maybe need to try and not get hung up with other people not liking your stuff

#

like, saying "please don't send me threats" for absolutely no reason is just pathetic tbh

naive rain May 10, 2024, 6:53 AM

#

i had reasons but i cant word them and that probably makes me look worse

winged stream May 10, 2024, 6:53 AM

#

I think you might need to relax for a while tbh

naive rain May 10, 2024, 6:54 AM

#

i mean yeah but like there was one person in particular who asked me a bunch of questions and then i think they didnt believe what i was saying but im not really sure

#

idk youre right i should stop playing balatro

#

thanks for the help

winged stream May 10, 2024, 6:54 AM

#

naive rain idk youre right i should stop playing balatro

That is NOT what I said

#

I just meant maybe you need to step away from the community for a while since it's clearly affecting you a lot

naive rain May 10, 2024, 6:55 AM

#

no i need to stop playing balatro

#

it is negatively affecting me

#

the community is mostly fine its just that i keep playing a game i no longer want to play and thats why im not acting well

#

[ON HOLD] Half Stake - Deck Effects are Halved

#

the mod isnt cancelled

#

i will stop playing balatro for a few days and then i will return to the mod and everything will be fine

#

ill step back a little from the community too just in case

#

[WIP] Half Stake - Deck Effects are Halved

#

do you have any questions about the mod?

#

currently working on the art

#

half stakes and half stickers completed and i dont think theres any other art i need to create so now i just have to code it

#

since steamodded 1.0.0 is coming very soon and i want to be efficient i will wait until it is released before i code anything

#

easy

waxen tapir May 10, 2024, 7:57 AM

#

naive rain easy

I mean...I'm not going to send you hate or anything, but this stake just seems EXTREMELY unfun. Like, Increasing Pack Costs/-1 Hand Size levels of unfun. 💀

naive rain May 10, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

is it?

#

i cant really see how halved deck effects wouldnt be fun

#

i mean i understand why it would be more difficult but i personally believe it would be difficult in an enjoyable way

daring kindle May 10, 2024, 8:01 AM

#

what the f♥ck, this is evil

#

i love it

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:02 AM

#

also in the list painted should be +2/2 hand size instead of +1 hand size, missed that

daring kindle May 10, 2024, 8:02 AM

#

what are half randomized ranks and suits

#

half the cards are random, the other half isn't?

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

i will need to make art for that in order to explain it properly

#

heres an example

daring kindle May 10, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

:o

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

all of the initial cards would be like this (although it is possible for both halves to match in suit, rank, or both)

#

situations like erratic are why im planning to have half stake be its own modifier rather than a stake in the progression (also because there isnt really a color for "half")

waxen tapir May 10, 2024, 8:11 AM

#

I mean, I guess we'll see, but...it might be better to describe the Deck effect like this, instead of the weird 1/2 description you have going on. It could also be an...interesting aspect to halve the negatives as well.

Red: Gain +1 Discard every other round.

Blue: Gain +1 hand every other round.

Yellow: Start with +5$.

Green: Gain +1$ for every unused Hand at end of round, and +1$ for every 2 unused Discards at end of round. Interest cap is halved.

Black: +1 Joker Slot after beating 2 Antes, -1 hands per round every other round.

Abandoned: Half of the face cards in your starting deck are removed at random.

Magic: +1 consumable slot after beating 2 Antes, start with 1 Fool Card.

Zodiac: After beating 3 Antes, gain 50% more chance to find both Tarot/Planet cards in the shop, and +1 shop slot.

Painted: +1 Hand Size every 2 Antes beat, -1 Joker slot every 2 Antes beat.

Checkered: Half of the Club/Diamond cards in your deck are randomly converted to Spade/Heart cards respectively.

Ghost: Start with a random Spectral card, and find Spectrals in the shop at 50% efficiency compared to normal.

Erratic: Half of the cards in your deck have randomized suits and ranks.

Plasma: Mult/Chips are averaged at half efficiency. Blinds scale up 50% faster.

youre missing the point

daring kindle May 10, 2024, 8:11 AM

#

^^

#

it's literally halves

waxen tapir May 10, 2024, 8:12 AM

#

naive rain youre missing the point

If it's a modifier instead of it's own stake, I feel like it'd be interesting to make it more of a experiment/balancing, instead of just a difficulty spike.

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:12 AM

#

yea

clever vine May 10, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

naive rain heres an example

half card looks interesting. the two halves of cards played can form two different poker hands and calculate independently

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

yeah! exactly

waxen tapir May 10, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

[Plus, with this, it might actually make Black Deck somewhat good late game with all of those extra joker slots.]

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

naive rain yeah! exactly

also the halves score for half chips, so a scoring half 5 would give 2.5 chips

#

and if both halves of a 5 score then it would be 5 chips

clever vine May 10, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

it's a really good idea 😀

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

also, yes, this is possible, eg abandoned deck would start with this

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

clever vine it's a really good idea 😀

thanks!

waxen tapir May 10, 2024, 8:16 AM

#

I COMPLETELY FORGOR ABOUT ABANDONDED DECK, LMAO. Hold on.

naive rain May 10, 2024, 8:16 AM

#

naive rain also, yes, this is possible, eg abandoned deck would start with this

yes this counts as occupying 1/2 hand size

#

also you would get this if you had 8+1/2 hand size

#

and with 1/2 hands and discards

#

and this can also happen to jokers, consumables, and vouchers

#

actually im just gonna rq make the list of half consumables

#

was also gonna include half vouchers but this file is too large so that will be a different one which i will post later

📎 half_stake_consumables.txt

#

let me know if anything unclear

#

half stake vouchers!

📎 half_stake_vouchers.txt

#

should i make the list of half jokers?

#

for most of them i dont think its needed but i could

#

lists are fun

#

oh i dont think i explained half discards and half hands, my bad

#

they target 1/2 cards instead of whole cards, everything else is the same

#

i think thats everything cleared up now? i probably missed something though, let me know if i did

#

help with coding would be greatly appreciated

barren vale May 10, 2024, 5:52 PM

#

Is this mod like card fusions?

#

Playing cards fusions

naive rain May 10, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

kinda ig

#

only with some decks though

#

oh whoops i forgot half tags ill go write that list

bright turret May 11, 2024, 9:33 AM

#

half gros michel

naive rain May 11, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

+7.5 mult 1 in 4 chance this card is destroyed at end of round

#

unlocks 1/2 cavendish when eaten

naive rain May 11, 2024, 9:12 PM

#

1/2 tags!

📎 half_stake_tags.txt

naive rain May 11, 2024, 9:53 PM

#

actually yknow what ive had an idea

#

instead of being a stake the mod should instead add support for 1/2 everything

#

[WIP] 1/2 - The mod that makes everything about halves instead of wholes!

#

the list of 1/2 jokers will be released soon, then

#

probably also the lists of 1/2 alchemicals 1/2 colours 1/2 cines etc

naive rain May 11, 2024, 10:58 PM

#

list of half blinds

📎 half_blinds.txt

#

blinds with 2 different halves would have combined effects of the respective 1/2 blinds

#

ultimate is 1x base to earn $$$$

#

1/2 boosters are "half cost, choose [1/2, 2/2 for mega] of up to [booster size]/2 cards"

barren vale May 12, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

I like how this is developing, I think the half tags bring a very interesting spin on things :)

naive rain May 12, 2024, 5:26 AM

#

thanks :D

#

to be clear, the mod will let you

buy half jokers, boosters, and vouchers
move around and use halves of cards (in addition to the whole card)
skip blinds in increments of 1/2
add 1/2 support into your own mods (might not be in the full release, in that case i will do it manually)

#

etc

#

also 1/2 tarots that affect playing cards will only be able to affect the same 1/2 (left affects left, right affects right)
this rule will apply to most other things as well

#

eg if you get left 1/2 double tag and play right 1/2 blind, the shop will only contain right halves, and you will get a left 1/2 of the next tag

#

btw this probably wont be done for a few months because of how ambitious it is and i only recently started to learn how to mod and i havent coded in a few days so help would be appreciated (if possible)

naive rain May 12, 2024, 6:29 AM

warning: most of the lists of 1/2 stuff above this message are outdated
