[INACTIVE FORUM] JEN'S COLLECTION

[marble sand]

Beautiful

[fallow dragon]

Jen your card designs are so beautiful
You use Paint.net right?

[ripe gulch]

yes

[trail heath]

lemme just get this straight, a godsmarble version of our cards can in fact be created, and the simple rule of "horrifically mutated/changed" is all we need to follow?

[fallow dragon]

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" - idk jerma985 or someone

[ripe gulch]

yes.

be ritualistic.

[eager dock]

is it ok if i have the names of the godsmarble ascensions of my chars be just one word LOL

like, say, SILENCE or ASTROPHAGE

[ripe gulch]

with very few exceptions, it needs to be a title, like "The Silence of the Damned" or "The Astrophage of Surreality"

[eager dock]

alright i gotcha

time to COOK

[ripe gulch]

remember; i can't add just the godsmarble version of a joker, both versions need to exist

[eager dock]

i know

i was just asking for clarity when i get around to it

now to figure out who the lucky character is that's getting conscripted first-

[wanton flame]

with how chuuni these jokers are getting i think Rikka would fit in this mod

[ripe gulch]

don't flood the chat, please

[eager dock]

is it alright to dm you submissions rather than send textwalls here

[ripe gulch]

i don't mind

[eager dock]

coolio, time to sprite

[trail heath]

Name: The Perfect Being
Plaque Name: The Perfected (If its too long lemme know, "The Void" could also work.)
Description: Johnny is the tool created and owned by the Mad Magician. This tools sole purpose was to consume existence. Existence beyond gods, beyond time, beyond names. For this the Mad Magician created a living tool, something that had no thought beyond consumption. The Mad Magician placed this being into a housing, his prized hat. Things started slow, but eventually the world inside Johnny was populated with millions of different things. From other people, to other planets. However Johnny had a fatal flaw; a limit. The Mad Magician swallowed his pride and sought his creator for help. His creator bestowed upon him a Godsmarble. The Mad Magician, using the gift from his creator, had fed the godsmarble to Johnny. This seemed to have no immediate effect, but The Mad Magician was wrong. The Mad Magician was consumed by Johnny, and Johnny, leaving the prison of the hat, grew indefinitely. The Mad Magicians final words?
Quote: "My most Perfect creation, the most Perfect Being."
Pre-Godsmarble Quote: "A million eyes stare at your existence, are you worthy?" (If I read things right, the quote can change when picked up or bought. So I thought, the first quote would be when its owned by you, and second pre-godsmarble.)

just for reference this is what Johnny would look like on the inside if you looked up after being eaten. Except now because of the godsmarble, consumption is the only thing it can do. Previously the Mad Magician would store things inside of Johnny, but now anything eaten by him, stays inside forever. After the godsmarble was consumed, If you looked up after being eaten, there would be nothing (as in no exit anymore).

[ripe gulch]

man, all these submissions make me feel alive

https://tenor.com/view/man-im-dead-man-im-alive-man-im-gif-13299840208787368549

[trail heath]

I'm sure we all enjoy making and posting them as much as you like receiving them!

[ripe gulch]

while you did that, i did something else just recently

[trail heath]

lets see

[ripe gulch]

not sure if they'd like it but i wanted to do it

[trail heath]

sorry my brain no get reference lol

[ripe gulch]

it's murphyobv, he streams balatro on twitch

[trail heath]

ah cool

I'm sure he'd be fine being featured in a mod

regardless of if you asked for permission

[ripe gulch]

(don't ping him! 🤫)

[trail heath]

I wasn't?

[ripe gulch]

just saying it just in case

[trail heath]

I can tell its not done, so you'd wanna keep it a surprise

well I mean the art looks done but idk about the card

[ripe gulch]

actually it is done, but murphy prefers no spoilers

[trail heath]

ah oki cool

gonna go make fried rice now

brb

[jaunty thicket]

bon appétit

[fallow dragon]

How many submissions have you gotten total?

[trail heath]

I think I've counted like 6 so far?

maybe 7

[jaunty thicket]

that's a good question

there's probably more if jen got some in his DM's

[ripe gulch]

25+, most of which are from rai

[trail heath]

cool

[trail heath]

I was only counting the ones from this chat submission area.

[maiden perch]

do you have the font for Legendary jokers?

[fallow dragon]

We will try and add to that total as much as we can :3

As long as we dont overwhelm you with the workload 😭

[ripe gulch]

if you mean the sprites for the letters on the plaques, i don't have a spritesheet for them, i manually draw them by hand

[maiden perch]

ah

[ripe gulch]

why do you ask?

[untold palm]

That's pretty cool I'm glad you're enjoying them!!! I've been making lots of boss blinds that I thought were pretty cool would you like to see them or perhaps is there somewhere I could post them as suggestions like a Google Sheet for you I did already recommend them in the original Cryptid server though so idk if I could for this mod lol!!! X)

[ripe gulch]

there is no google sheet for this mod, and there are no plans for blinds currently

[untold palm]

Aww I see that's understandable though ik you've been pretty busy no worries I can tell coding isn't easy!!! Lmk if you'd ever like for me to try and create some more for you though I've been trying to make ones like Daring Group recently but for specific trio's!!! :D

[eager dock]

oops i dropped my kitties

(jen's been sent a description already, this is just for public viewing pleasure)

[grizzled cape]

Mine probably would've killed it if I kept it around.

[trail heath]

I personally love how many different art styles we'll have

It'll make every card so much more unique and distinguishable from one another.

[ripe gulch]

if it fits, it sits.

[eager dock]

it was really hard porting my normal cutesy artstyle to pixel art lol

[trail heath]

kinda reminds me of the scratch cat

[eager dock]

sees cat character
"ah yes, scratch cat"
/j

[trail heath]

also btw, I realized when I was making my godsmarble card face that if I just take away the eyes (leaving a little for lighting) and have a more straight set of teeth, it looks like a pair of lips

which was not the og intention but makes for a goofy 2 in 1

[fallow dragon]

Speaking of Godsmarble
Title: "The Incarnation of Darkness" (or 'paragon' instead if incarnation is too long)
Quote: "-wo--r-sh-ip y--ou---r g--o-ddess---"
Pre-Godsmable quote: "Give me the marble. I've earned it."

Could've gone crazier but hey

4x vers

[eager dock]

sick

[ripe gulch]

@fallow dragon

[fallow dragon]

Fucking cooollllll
Love the godsmarble cards

How do you go about adding these sprites to Balatro anyhow? Is it just a lua script for certain Jokers to go "if <quality> then <use multiple sprite areas>" or

[ripe gulch]

the spritesheets are added to the game as an "atlas". each atlas has a width and height value which determines what the dimensions of a single sprite on the sheet is

when creating a joker, i can reference a specific x and y value on the atlas grid to get the sprites i want

[fallow dragon]

So all the sprites are on one sprite sheet too? Or are they referenced via file name as well

[ripe gulch]

currently every joker card of mine has its own atlas

but at some point i may compress them all to use just one atlas

@eager dock

[eager dock]

:O

KIBTY

[ripe gulch]

this one took a bit of thinking but i cooked this

[eager dock]

you cooked so hard

[ripe gulch]

yeah, the oven's broken now

[eager dock]

it isnt too often that their heterochromia is referenced to this degree, it's very refreshing to see ^^

[eager dock]

^

[ripe gulch]

i'm an artist that likes to shove in as many details as possible

all the little things to give it that chef kiss

[eager dock]

did you have an effect in mind? or is that a surprise i'll have to see later 👁️

[ripe gulch]

it's a surprise to even me; we'll never know until my brain procedurally generates one

(i'm serious! 👀)

[eager dock]

im excite

[ripe gulch]

also, while i'm here, check out this funky new edition

"I'm seeing double!"

[fallow dragon]

Fractal?

[ripe gulch]

nope, i'm going to be calling it "diplopia"

[fallow dragon]

Hmmmmmm it looks cool
Slap it on a legendary

[ripe gulch]

at the moment it just applies the effect to the card, not any floating sprites as well

[fallow dragon]

Drat

[gloomy jay]

im more focused on 90fps balatro tbh

[marble sand]

👍

[marble sand]

Same shader, different colors.

[zealous mist]

you can try adding apply_to_float = true on the edition (tho it would only apply to self.children.floating_sprite

actually wait

it might not work as I think it would

[ripe gulch]

@zealous mist i am aware of apply_to_float

[fresh ingot]

i have a cool joker idea that would maybe fit this better than crypted

[fallow dragon]

Is it a joker sprite or is it its effect

[ripe gulch]

another one from rai

[fallow dragon]

The lambert

[ripe gulch]

that would be this card here

[ripe radish]

what is he doing here???? What the stoat??

[ripe gulch]

it's rai's interpretation of luke carder, it's a fictional universe that's based on cult of the lamb and inscryption

[ripe radish]

baller

where's the stoat legendary

[ripe gulch]

there is no stoat legendary, but there is a card design of P03 which still has a pending face sprite from rai

[ripe gulch]

thanks to the help of @marble sand and @zealous mist, i've eliminated all traces of borrowed shaders from my mod, all editions now have an originally-designed shader

the demo might be coming sooner than i thought

[marble sand]

LET'S GOOOOO

[trail heath]

Card Name: The Sleeping Monolith
Plaque: Monolith
Lore: A slumbering monolith, the size of a star, sleeps alone in space. Explorers started to talk about it as if it was sleeping because if you got close to it, it would vibrate rythmically and make an almost purring noise similar to breathing. Scientists studying the monolith have found its materials are not of the periodic table of their time. This material was perfectly dense and the frequency it vibrated at made subjects in close proximity to it sleepy. The monolith also has rings, similar to that of jupiter or saturn. But the inside follows an almost star pattern before fusing with the monolith itself once close enough. Analysis of the rings materials shows it is that of human blood, and when some of the blood is removed from the ring, breaking it, more flows back and connects the ring once again.

Description (For jen): ||The monolith is the plaything of the Creator. (Gave the godsmarble to the Mad Magician before) It was originally made to blow up stars, essentially a giant railgun. But because of the Creator's focus on Johnny and the Mad Magician, the monolith has been in a dormant sleeping state. Its previous uses have destroyed Earth as well as a few thousand stars of neighboring solar systems, either for the fun of Creator or to remove possible competition. Creator's current use for it is as a foe for Johnny, since Creator believes it has gotten too greedy, but his apostle is not ready yet, so he cannot descend. The monolith uses constant human sacrifices given to it by Creator and uses blood as its primary fuel source. ||
Quote: "Note: Subjects show extreme exhaustion near the Monolith. Further testing required."

[ripe gulch]

🚫 invalid submission (provided information is too ambiguous)

[trail heath]

I guessed thats what the complaint would be

hold up

I can add more in not story mode lol

[ripe gulch]

also, it needs an actual name, it can't be ambiguous/hidden

[trail heath]

Well I thought that its name on the card would still show as "Sleeping..." but have a name in an awakened form

but oki

Aighty there we go

took a moment and should hopefully provide more useable material

if not I can continue it ofc, idm.

Its spoiled since its big time lore drop and kinda reveals a lot about how the Monolith works and why it exists.

BTW Idk if its possible, but when I make the godsmarble variation of this guy, could you prevent "The Perfect Being" (Johnny Godsmarble variant) and this guys Godsmarble variant from existing in the same hand? As In when you get one the other disappears from the loot pool, or if you try to get both at the same time it just wont let you?

If not Its completely fine, but It would be a cool thing since it matches up with the lore that these two are supposed to be arch enemies

[ripe gulch]

no.

this is my world; there are no rules

[trail heath]

sadge I guessed that would be the answer

[ripe gulch]

this is the ultimate crossover, we can break conventional logic

[trail heath]

Then is it possible for the quote to change on even the normal cards if they exist in the same hand at the same time?

like to something that would have them talk to one another in there quotes almost?

once again, if not I am just fine with that, but...

Kinda similar to inscryption actually

[ripe gulch]

please, no. i'm just making overpowered cards, there's no need to over-complicate how the cards should work in relation to one another

[trail heath]

Bruh, I literally said I don't mind your descision lol, no need to get actually annoyed

[ripe gulch]

i'm not annoyed.

[trail heath]

that message sounded very annoyed, the period at the end of some parts make it sound like an annoyed parent,

BUT OKI

lol

[ripe gulch]

that's... a pretty unhealthy way to view other's messages

[trail heath]

just wanted to know how far you were willing to go, since you allowed for two different quotes depending on the state of a godsmarble card. And a few other complicated things so...

[trail heath]

??? I don't think everyone sounds annoyed when I see there messages, it literally how you would express annoyance in text form bro lol

but enough of that

aighty, I won't ask for any odd additions

[ripe gulch]

well to try and have the cards converse with one another through the tooltips requires a lot of tracking, and then you'd have to ask if the majority of players would pay attention to that detail

[trail heath]

Yeah I get that, although I wasn't thinking a whole conversation, more like a changed quote to acknowledge the other existence.

like changing to something like "Oh, you're here..."

but ye I get it'd be difficult so I won't ask anymore

[ripe gulch]

that's significantly easier to do

[trail heath]

oh...

so...?

lmao

[ripe gulch]

well initially you implied that the cards would converse with one another

[trail heath]

Yea Ig i worded it wrong sorry

Johnny quote: "If It wasn't for these cards I would've already eaten you by now!"
Monolith quote: "Hmm? Ah. Its you. Please leave, I'm trying to sleep."

There you go, if you do end up doing it, then those would be the changed quotes if they exist in the same hand at the same time.

Again, if not, I won't be even remotely angy or disappointed, it is your mod after all.

[ripe gulch]

why the bold-italics?

[trail heath]

Cus everytime I say I won't be angy, I can just feel you getting more and more annoyed LMAO

[ripe gulch]

i'm not annoyed, seriously, i've been responding to your messages in the calmest way possible

[trail heath]

I get it I do

Ignore them mostly

[fallow dragon]

bringing attention to a problem makes it worse

[trail heath]

Its just me being big goofy

[ripe gulch]

but the way you've been talking to me is actually starting to make me feel socially anxious

[trail heath]

oop

sowwy

will shut up now

[fallow dragon]

What shaders did you guys make
or secret uwu

[ripe gulch]

i'll show a video when i can, but i can give you some sound effects in the meantime

[trail heath]

JEEZ sound clip jumpscare

oooh

these sound good

[ripe gulch]

whatever is after "e_" is the edition's name

minus the ".wav"

[trail heath]

how tf did you manage to make the sound fit the names so damn well?

[trail heath]

ok that one is a little iffy imo

[ripe gulch]

you'll see why i chose that sound for it when you see what dithered actually looks like

[trail heath]

oki

[fallow dragon]

These are all pretty damn good. Love Moire, Sharpened, and Watered.

only one's we're iffy on is polygloss and strobe? Polyglass waves a little much but that could be pref
Strobe might be better if it was like... Arpeggio instead of just, strobe effect.

[ripe gulch]

so you're saying strobe would sound better if the sound effect wasn't strobing

hmm... 🤔

[trail heath]

eh I mean, it fits, imo It sounds pretty good, one of my favs from the ones suggested

since its effect name is literally strobe, it'd fit for it to strobe

[prisma granite]

oh moire fits really well

[fallow dragon]

Oh it fits perfectly no doubt
Strobe effects in audio are just harsh

[trail heath]

agreed

[fallow dragon]

lemme try something uh

[trail heath]

I agree actually, it has some harsh clipping on it

I wonder if its clipping can be faded a tad?

[ripe gulch]

yes, i can do that

[trail heath]

The sudden cut on my studio headphones with an amp produces a milisecond of loud af static lol.

[ripe gulch]

2nd pass

i've tried my best to communicate to knockback to make their shaders more friendly to sensitive eyes (initially, most of them were extremely flashy when i first got them)

they've either slowed down or completely eliminated the flashing of the editions they've given to me, but i do have a feeling some of them might still cause eye strain for some people

obviously i don't know for sure, the only way i can know is if i show them which i will in a moment

[trail heath]

just got back but SO MUCH better

no more harsh clipping thats for sure

[ripe gulch]

i just simply added a fade-in and fade-out to the starts and ends of every segment

(minus the start of the first segment and the end of the last segment)

[trail heath]

well it fixes the main issue we had with it

(at least I hope it did ThreeCubed)

[trail heath]

ah yes, just a casual ^^^3 edition effect

no biggie

[trail heath]

PISS card

lets goooooooooooooooooooo

[ripe gulch]

24-karat urine

are the shaders alright?

[trail heath]

yes definitely

although some of them might be hard on the eyes for others

[ripe gulch]

also i think now you can see why i chose a hdd noise for dithered

[trail heath]

ye ye

although moire is a little hard even on my eyes

[ripe gulch]

yes, that's what i was concerned about

but ultimately that's kind of what moire is

[trail heath]

well It'd look aight on a floating face card, but the base editions are the rough to look at ones

Is it possible to make Moire only show up on exotic cards and higher?

although that might be a little difficult idk

[ripe gulch]

the chances of moire appearing on a card naturally is extremely low

[trail heath]

hm

[ripe gulch]

like, extreeeeeeemely low

[trail heath]

well its prolly fine then

since even if it does hurt someones eyes Its something that you could just not look at directly, and if your late into a run, it'll just fall into the pile of jokers

[fallow dragon]

we wanted to cook something up

Agh its got the clip at the start frick

[trail heath]

Holy shit

https://tenor.com/view/blinking-eyes-white-guy-blinking-meme-what-huh-gif-26334323

did this just listening to it lol

[trail heath]

sounds very good, but might be too long

considering the rest of his sound clips are less than a second long

[ripe gulch]

it doesn't matter.

[trail heath]

cool

[ripe gulch]

i don't think this fits for strobe, but i can definitely use it for a different edition

[trail heath]

aighty

[fallow dragon]

Glad you like it uwu~

[fallow dragon]

god this is making us wanna learn shaders now

[trail heath]

oh yeah! Jen, sorry for a quick off topic question, but did the description extension for the monolith provide enough info for card effects or nah? I can continue it if needed, just never got a response before.

[ripe gulch]

i'll have to come back to it another time, because i've got more sprites than i have implemented jokers

like, way more

[trail heath]

lol I guessed you did when I was making it and almost didn't actually make it.

I'll take a break before I make the godsmarble version so you can catch up.

[ripe gulch]

shaders are programmed using GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language)

[trail heath]

I really wish a visual shader coding software existed

[fallow dragon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIMunG7FPKg
Us looking at our like, 3 months of programming experience:

[ripe gulch]

https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded/tree/main/example_mods/Mods/EditionExamples/assets/shaders

you can take a look at some example shaders here

[trail heath]

My brain goes ooga booga mode the instant I see this code lol

[ripe gulch]

it involves math, plenty of it. it's not easy to learn, and even when you do learn it, it's difficult to get the math right

[trail heath]

thats why it'd be awesome if there was a software that just let you drag some sliders around and it'd do the math accordingly...

I'm sure it wouldn't produce as good a shader as doing it manually

but would make it so much more accessible for the average bloke wanting to make a mod for balatro or whatevs

[ripe gulch]

sometimes, the best way to learn and practice something is by taking an example and following this approach:

https://tenor.com/view/fafo-findout-fuckaround-fuckaroundandfindout-you-gif-26826252

[trail heath]

thats exactly what I am awful at though, since without set restrictions, my creativity is null/void

thats why I gotta limit my color pallette to like 3 colors

[ripe gulch]

shaders and art are two different things

[trail heath]

I get that, but if I look at some shader code, I feel lost immediately, and my creativity/mind locks up.

[marble sand]

[trail heath]

lol

[fallow dragon]

HELP OUR CARDS ARE ON FIRE

[trail heath]

what'dyou do?

[ripe gulch]

speaking of fire

[trail heath]

you gonna let us burn cards now or what?

[ripe gulch]

yes, especially when said fire is an edition

[zealous mist]

Pretty sure I didn't create moire, lol

[marble sand]

Yes is one of my shaders

[marble sand]

Are you planning to add more editions ?

[ripe gulch]

thanks for pointing that out, i forgot to change the credit string

[fallow dragon]

Is there any other edition sounds you'd want us to make?

[zealous mist]

that's cool but I'd say you should try limiting the values (max() and min()) so they don't exceed values where the edition just doesn't feel great on eyes

[marble sand]

Like this ?

[zealous mist]

yep that's definitely better 👍

[marble sand]

👌 👍

Maybe jenwalter666 will want to make an edition based on this shader

[ripe gulch]

well you're posting it here, so obviously you're intending to send this to me lol

[marble sand]

Ye

But idk if you want to make more editions.

[ripe gulch]

there's always room for more, and even if i don't want to make any i'd still love to get my hands on the shaders

[rustic sphinx]

Do you remember entropy? I'll try to translate her story and her pieces.....

[ripe gulch]

erop, not now. the joker queue is quite full.

[marble sand]

Lavio said that you'll add jokers in "waves"

[rustic sphinx]

understood, then I'll keep it for myself to forget

[marble sand]

Because you have more unused sprites than finished jokers

[ripe gulch]

@marble sand even if i don't want to make anymore editions, i'd still love to get my hands on any shaders you make for me

[zealous mist]

hoarding those shaders 😹

GɪᴛHᴜʙ Uɴɪғɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴ

This post will now relate to all mods I've made, not just Jen's Almanac. This is in preperation of me planning to restructure my workflow.

All of my mods will be moved to one single GitHub repository. All other posts I've made will be deleted when this happens.

This helps me focus more on maintaining and developing my mods; it's a healthy decision to have everything more unified rather than spaced out.

this will also help equalise the amount of attention my mods yet somewhat

obviously, this shouldn't change anything to the consumers, you can easily pick out which ones you want if you don't want every mod

it's highly unlikely that i'll be creating a discord server related to my mods, so i think it'll suffice for me to remain here

[noble moth]

From the Airinko thread:
So after some testing woth debug there's definitely some inconsitent behaviot with Aurinko, sometimes, especially with foil it seems, it subtracts the 10 mult from the poker hand instead of adding it, and sometimes it does nothing at all. I've also noticed ghost editions where the planet shakes and there's a fanfare, but no visible edition. These cards also exhibit odd inconsistent behaviot

[ripe gulch]

we've come to the conclusion that it's an incompatibility with bunco. bunco is just an invasive mod, unfortunately

[noble moth]

could also be another mod I'm using tbh, but none of the others try to put editions on consumables, so that's the likely culprit

[ripe gulch]

the fake-outs ("ghost" editions) are not out of the question though, i experience it as well and i've got nothing else trying to apply editions on planets in the same way as aurinko

i'm not sure what causes it, though. so far my debugging hasn't gotten me anywhere in figuring it out

[lost hatch]

I take it since you're running both, Jen's Almanac Editions will be compatible with Aurinko?

[ripe gulch]

of course they will be

it'd be idiosyncratic of me to not make it compatible with one of my own mods

[lost hatch]

Fair enough.

Name: The Nightmare

Plaque: Nightmare

Description: A human head with a terrifying protrusion. From a distance It might look like the face is caved in, like a hole. But from up close or the side, you'll see that it is in fact the opposite. A layered flower petal pattern similar to a rose, but made of flesh. An eye colored berry grows in the center. Its purpose is to grab anything that covets the berry. If you reach for the berry, the petals will close around your hand and inject you with poison from hundreds of prickly thorns, those of a rose. The poison effects the victims eyesight, eventually making them completely blind. It plays on the sin of greed, as the berry is said to be able to restore eyesight to the blind. It grows from corpses, or more specifically, in the faces of them. Essentially, if someone wants to best a blind, they can take there chances with this. If they make it through, the reward would be legendary, but if they should fail...

Source: Had sleep paralysis last night and this thingy showed up. Somewhat luckily I have a vivid remembrance of my dreams, so I decided to create this dude, since it kinda fits the mod.

Ik I said i'd take a break, but I couldn't not make this one since I'd def forget it by tomorrow.

[jaunty thicket]

bro had a nightmare and first reaction when waking up was like "this would look good in balatro"

[maiden perch]

I only have a vivid remembrance of dreams that I think are prophetic

Y'know, I'm surprised SiIvaGunner's never done any Balatro rips. You'd think they'd have shoved IDK the TADC theme or The World Revolving or smth into the style of one of the tracks.

[sand socket]

They did one where they turned the Wii Shop Theme into Balatro

But not the other way around like you’re mentioning

[lost hatch]

Just found that rip.

[ripe gulch]

don't worry everyone, i'm still working on my mods. i just thought i'd quiet down a bit so i can get more things done

[marble sand]

Ok

[rustic sphinx]

I get terabytes of ideas for "alternatively balanced jokers" [at first glance they look like the jokers from this mod, but they're not] please take my computer away from me and chop off my hands so that I stop doing this(((

[ripe gulch]

murphy might stream the mod live on twitch sometime today

i gave him early access

please do not ask me or him for the files, the mod will be ready for the public when i deem it is

you can play it inside balatro

Mᴏᴠᴇ Cᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ

All of my mods have now been moved to a single GitHub repository.
You can still choose which mods you want and which ones you don't. The benefit of having everything in one repository is that I don't have to go back and forth between repos as I update my mods.

Don't nest the mods! The mods should be installed in the Mods folder, not within a folder that's in the Mods folder.

[vestal moth]

Nopeus and brainstorm are incompatible right now.

I mean it's compatible if you already chose speed above 32

But it will appear as nil, and you cannot choose above 32 again if brainstorm is installed after

[zealous mist]

it's more of an issue of brainstorm trying to be an everything mod

[vestal moth]

But it is not a problem before

Something is wrong lately

[zealous mist]

this existed for 2 months, so it surely was, it's more of a patches priority thing

[vestal moth]

Not sure if the code of nopeus is broken somehow or Steamodded update

[zealous mist]

neither

[vestal moth]

So head up to brainstorm?

[zealous mist]

yep

[earnest herald]

this should be fixable by upping (reducing? lower numbers go first iirc) nopeus' patch priority for it to patch before brainstorm

this isnt rlly a bug its just two mods trying to patch the same thing, natural result of lovely patches

[vestal moth]

Ok, still need to be sorted tho

[ripe gulch]

yeah, this is brainstorm's problem, not mine

[jaunty thicket]

i was there, and to think murphy only exploited a small fraction of this mod's power...

[ripe gulch]

i reckon he might stream it again but this time with every mod i included in the zip i sent to him

for the full experience

[zealous mist]

btw is godsmarble an optional mod?

dont think murph saw one

[ripe gulch]

it requires fusion jokers which is optional

murphy chose not to use the optional mods when he started the stream

[zealous mist]

yeah, I see

[ripe gulch]

also, i've merged your PR for incantation, but i'm defaulting the vanilla-esque setting to off

incantation was never intentionally designed to be a QoL or vanilla-esque mod

when you mention the mod not being completely vanilla because of perkeo's logic, it's really just falling on deaf ears because it was never the intention from the beginning

[elfin thicket]

incantation is also a little silly alongside aurinko but i suppose that's to be expected

considering there's no edition but negative that incantation would need to check for by default

[ripe gulch]

is there unintended behaviour with it?

[elfin thicket]

it'll merge editionless cards onto a stack with different editions last I checked

[ripe gulch]

what version of incantation are you using?

[zealous mist]

yeah, I am just mentioning that the "vanilla" option is not actually vanilla, lol

[elfin thicket]

let me go double check i'm not just critically misremembering lol

[ripe gulch]

odds are you might be using a version older than 0.1.0

at the beginning incantation only checked for negative and base, but now it considers all editions when checking for a merge as of 0.1.0

[elfin thicket]

hm, maybe i'm just misremembering...

[gloomy jay]

oh yeah incantation got a shoutout from balatro university

[ripe gulch]

"Compared to you... I'm like a saint!"

[pine gulch]

Hopefully there's a boss to completely nerf these, horribly overpowered cards.

[gloomy jay]

common muck:

oh wait there's a card that protects jokers from being debuffed

[ripe gulch]

some cards are completely immune to debuffing anyway

[zealous mist]

tbh, what's the point, if they're only easily accessible on like 2 cryptid decks (equilibrium and antimatter)

[fallow dragon]

"The Killjoy: Disables all epic+ tier jokers"

[grizzled cape]

...That's kinda the point.
This mod is meant to be what most people think Cryptid is like.
While in reality, while Cryptid CAN be insanely broken, it can also easily turn it around on you.

[gloomy jay]

it's pretty much "How long until Balatro breaks?"

[ripe gulch]

👀

is it a halo? a chip missing its center? a chocolate doughnut? an onion ring dipped in chocolate? something else?

[zealous mist]

unfortunately that looks like a doughnut

a bit too phat

[glacial flax]

lol

add some glazing :>

[ripe gulch]

i'm surprised you actually think it looks like a doughnut, the center hole is too wide for me to see it as a doughnut

[zealous mist]

well, to me personally it looks more like this 😹

[ripe gulch]

tasty

[earnest herald]

as a certified baranka eater i say its a bit too dark for that

[ripe gulch]

in any case the sprite is meant to be a halo

[zealous mist]

I think the dark part shouldn't be there, since it's supposed to be all glowing

and could be thinner

[ripe gulch]

a halo doesn't necessarily need to glow

[earnest herald]

i think the dark part is fine

[zealous mist]

fair

[ripe gulch]

chao 👀

and halos tend to be represented with varying thickness

[earnest herald]

the best way to convey a halo is by placing it where it belongs, but w/o that, thin and glowing does make it more easily readable as a halo

[ripe gulch]

the halo at the moment needs to have no glowing, that's for later

and, to be honest, it's kind of too late now, i've already committed to building the spritesheet so if i make any changes to the base then i have to start all over again

[errant sail]

[urban acorn]

craving one rn

[ripe gulch]

here you go guys, i took (a painful amount of) time to compile a google sheet

feel free to take a look, ask any questions if you must

i know the godsmarble-infused jokers are not on there yet, i've already burned a lot of time out of my day to write this sheet and i can't be bothered to write anymore at the moment

[urban acorn]

well-deserved rest time?

[ripe gulch]

yeah, i've got quite a lot going on at the moment, IRL and digital alike

[urban acorn]

same here tbh

good luck!!

[lusty oyster]

I know you are really busy right now, but if you are still adding jokers it would be really cool if you could add something from The Binding of Isaac for example Uriel or Gabriel. Anyways good luck with making the mod and I know it is a lot of work so its fine if you don't make it

(uriel and gabriel)

[ripe gulch]

the joker queue is full right now

[lusty oyster]

oh all right

no problem

[solemn comet]

guess what

watch this

1500th message

[urban acorn]

soooo uhhh i KNOW the joker queue (and even the second queue) is completely filled to the brim right now and i was thinking about adding my oc (hedera helix (yes thats his name /srs)) to the mod as a joker but i didnt wanna bother anyone sooo im submitting it buuuuuut you dont have to add it, what you do with him is totes up to you and im totally fine with it!!!

(first two images are comms from artists i know and am cool with, third one is fanart tho!!! it was made by saphyra and they didnt know it was my character and they didnt ping me 😭)

[trail heath]

You gotta make the face art yourself, and give them a description.

Jen makes the background of the card and its effects, the rest is up to you

here is the OG submission message

[urban acorn]

im reading it rn 👍

[trail heath]

aight cool

[urban acorn]

ight in done

[rustic sphinx]

this.... My gods....I've had their stories ready for a long time.

[urban acorn]

sounds doable :p

[trail heath]

aighty good luck

sadly no guarantee your card will get in since the joker queue is full rn, but you can still try ig

[urban acorn]

nahhhhh i cant care less if it doesnt get in

[trail heath]

huh oki then

[urban acorn]

i literally said 😭

[trail heath]

sorry didn't read all the way through cus I saw that the art wasn't up to code and no description lol

[urban acorn]

nahhhh its fine... i understand...

[ripe gulch]

prestiges 1 through 12 are done, 88 more to go

[urban acorn]

mmmmmm uranium bublik (prestige 12)

[ripe gulch]

i don't remember uranium being transparent

[fallow dragon]

Do you want any help making prestiges?

[urban acorn]

hmmmm

i would help too (3d paint my beloved)

[ripe gulch]

no thanks, but you can always keep an eye on the google sheet in case of anything marked for "Needs spritework" popping up

[urban acorn]

👍

[ripe gulch]

guess while i'm at it i'll add more to the sheet

[urban acorn]

oh jeez

good luck

[ripe gulch]

i mean it's very early in the morning, might as well pass the time somehow

when you're waking up, you're more tolerable to boring work lol

[fallow dragon]

Jen what timezone are you in?

[ripe gulch]

GMT

it's currently BST though because of daylight saving time, UTC+1

[ripe gulch]

made a new card base for joker abilities

they'll have floating sprites, max canvas size is 71 x 75 but recommend 51 x 75

[rocky tree]

a hollow eye

[silk bloom]

Btw jen, is the ayanami card a reference to evangelion?

[ripe gulch]

no.

[silk bloom]

Ah rip

[ripe gulch]

i've been considering adding functionality where character jokers can have a "dramatic" sprite (aka an expression of complete mental trauma or etc.) which can be used to emphasise incomprehensibly-high scoring hands

perhaps even gives room for new quotes

[gloomy jay]

it would be funny if the fire started to change color at higher scores (#5 or something?)

[ripe gulch]

i plan to do more than that

i want the playing cards to start burning ablaze, the background changing to a dark colour, the text turning red and shaking, etc

[urban acorn]

soooo uhhhh i wanted to make sprite work for some of the abilities...

how would one go about doing that? :

[ripe gulch]

by using a spriting or art program...?

[urban acorn]

yes but what are the dimensions and such .-.

[ripe gulch]

see here ^

[glacial flax]

so uuh i'd like to change the speed of my game but i cannot find the speed up button anywhere?

it only goes up to 4

(i have the nopeus mod installed)

[ripe gulch]

check if the mod is being loaded by checking the mods menu on the main menu

[ripe gulch]

check the installation directory

[glacial flax]

the wot?

[ripe gulch]

show me where you've installed it

i need to see the directory

[zealous mist]

mod should be in Mods/Nopeus

not nested in another folder

[glacial flax]

ooh thats why?

i have jensbalatrocollection-main

[ripe gulch]

the consequences of not reading github readmes

[glacial flax]

i frogot to take all of them out 🤦‍♂️

[jaunty thicket]

never has balatro been THIS intense

[ripe gulch]

i could go harder

[jaunty thicket]

i feel like there's going to be like a black hole in the background when you reach the highest scores, and the score is just going to say something like "RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN"

because the game knows it cannot handle such power

[urban acorn]

sooooo making the skill sprites was a bit too hard for me so i made spearmaster in 5 minutes instead 💀

i tried making sure the artwork was up to code btw!!!

total wide: 71 pixels
total tall: 71 pixels
sprite tall: 57 pixels
sprite wide: 55 pixels

if any of this is wrong let me know!!! i'll try finding a way to fix it!!!
remember, this is not official and just a fanmade!!! actual thing may vary ingame!!!

[ripe gulch]

spearmaster already has a sprite

[urban acorn]

woops!

sorry, it wasn't indicated in the spreadsheet!!

[ripe gulch]

it is, though. if the status is not "Needs spritework" then it doesn't need spritework

[urban acorn]

i mean

it wasn't by the time i began!!!

[ripe gulch]

what?

spearmaster's status has always been "work in progress" since the beginning

[urban acorn]

im soooo dumb 😭

i got the lines confused!!!

[ripe gulch]

will it help if i add horizontal lining?

[urban acorn]

uhhhh

idk!!

[ripe gulch]

well, take a look at the google sheet now, is it more easily readable?

[urban acorn]

very

tysm!!!

this is what happened btw, i got the things confused

[ripe gulch]

i suppose it's my fault for not adding lining, consequences of my thought processes strike again

[urban acorn]

nahhh nahhh

its fiiiine

anyways im gonna go play some videogame

[ripe gulch]

just doing a little test

[zealous mist]

thats sick

[ripe gulch]

thank you

it was supposed to make the background spiral very wildly as well but it didn't work

[zealous mist]

shouldnt showdown bosses have example for that kinda stuff?

[ripe gulch]

i know where it's doing it, it's just that my patches don't want to behave

[zealous mist]

ah, makes sense

Man this is getting ludicrous

Honestly excited for this mod to come out not only cuz, absolute insanity, but also so we can dissect this coding

[earnest herald]

im glad nopeus exists because turning the speed to 999 is a good test to see whether ur code is good or flimsy

[ripe gulch]

it's not perfect, for sure

[earnest herald]

when saying your i meant me as in im writing some flimsy code rn

[ripe gulch]

bruh

[ripe gulch]

what for, if i may ask?

the mod's lua file is currently 8,000+ lines long

[fallow dragon]

Mostly just to learn code snippits and see if we can adapt them for our own mod
We dont know if we could ever make a mod that can compare to the sheer score insanity of this one, but we can go crazy in our own ways

[fallow dragon]

Is the code all in one lua file? No file loading or

[ripe gulch]

it's all in one file

excluding lovely patches which obviously need to be in their own file

[fallow dragon]

The mod is not released yet, but it will require Steammodded 1.0 alpha

that is an amazing synergy for a joke

seriously, that is actually an insane coincidence

[eager dock]

LOL

[lost hatch]

Still a bit disappointed that Editions on Vouchers do nothing. Well, except maybe the ones that modify values like Glitched and Oversaturated.

[grizzled cape]

Hmm...hol up.

• Foil Vouchers: Buying this Voucher will upgrade your base hands by +25 Chips.
• Holographic Vouchers: Buying this Voucher will upgrade your base hands by +5 Mult.
• Polychrome Vouchers: Buying this Voucher will upgrade your base hands by 1.25x Mult.
• Negative Vouchers: Buying this Voucher will give you 1 random extra applicable slot (Joker, Consumable, Hand Size, etc).

(Also, what are the other Editions again?)

[trail heath]

Cryptid
Blurred
Glitched
Oversaturated
Astral
Almanac
idk like at least 10 more

[grizzled cape]

Alright.....uhhhh.
Sorry again, but what do the Cryptid Editions do exactly? I really only know Glitched.

[trail heath]

Blurred retriggers the card 2 times
Glitched randomizes values between X0.1 and X10
Oversaturated doubles the effects of the card (if it can be doubled)
Astral makes the card give ^1 mult

oh and Mosiac which is something to do with giving Xchips

forget the value

[trail heath]

also polychrome is 1.5x not 1.25x mult

[rocky tree]

thats the point

the effects are halved

[ripe gulch]

see rows 106 to 124 of this sheet for almanac's

@trail heath you might want to look as well

[trail heath]

moire? more like "will definitely crash my game instantly"!

gn btw

[ripe gulch]

night?

[trail heath]

its 1 am for me rn so... yea night

[ripe gulch]

my timezone is GMT in case if you ask

[trail heath]

just saying I'm gonna go to sleep so that you understand why I will not respond to any following messages

[trail heath]

MST over ere

[ripe gulch]

in any case, moire's most likely not going to be that intensive unless if you retrigger the card that has the edition like a hundred thousand times over

[grizzled cape]

Yes, I know, but due to being able to redeem tons of Vouchers infinitely, the base Editions on Vouchers are slightly weaker.

• Blurred Vouchers give a fixed 1 in 3 chance for cards/Jokers to retrigger. Can apply multiple times.
• Glitched Vouchers randomizes the values of the Voucher between 0.1x and 10x, if possible.
• Oversaturated Vouchers doubles the benefits (and downsides) of the Voucher, if possible.
• Astral Vouchers upgrade your base hands by ^1.05 Mult.

[rocky tree]

glitched already works with vouchers i think

[ripe gulch]

glitched does work on vouchers, most vanilla vouchers already use config for their values, like recyclomancy for example

[urban acorn]

huh...

i didn't know murphy streamed this mod

~ a person who never played cult of the lamb, 2024

[umbral solar]

pretty excited for this mod

seems very high quality

[naive fiber]

Hey, there's an issue with "Incantation" that prevents copies of Code cards to be used. For example the prompt for the "Class" code card doesn't show when using a copy

[sand socket]

copy_card() looks like it doesn’t work properly when this mod is installed
Or maybe because it’s being done mid-use?

[ripe gulch]

there have been a few rare cases of "ghost" cards (consumables that when used do nothing)

[weary badger]

i actually had that happen to me, one of the cryptid jokers have a chance to create a copy of a code card when it’s used, and when the copy’s used it does absolutely nothing

[sand socket]

It might have to do with when the use consumable calculate joker thing is called

[ripe gulch]

unfortunately though, without any method of consistently reproducing the problem, it's kind of hard for me to know what's actually happening

[weary badger]

i can upload my mods folder if needed, has the new joker that causes the bug in the first place

[ripe gulch]

no need, just describe to me how you produce the issue

step by step what happens during the process

[weary badger]

newest cryptid main to get the new copy/paste joker, i used debugplus to spawn an oops (so copy/paste hits every time) and any code card (class is a good example). using the first class will work perfectly fine, however using the copied class will do nothing (and even shows a sell value of 0)

this bug happens with Incantation installed

ofc

[ripe gulch]

a sell value of zero?

sounds like the card's quantity is 0 when it gets copied

[weary badger]

yes, the copied code card has a sell value of zero (and it doesn't when Incantation isn't installed)

[ripe gulch]

i'll add a hook to copy_card() to fix it

[weary badger]

i recorded a video a couple days ago of the bug in action if you need to visually see what's happening

[ripe gulch]

no need, you've told me all i need to know

[sand socket]

#💻・modding-dev message
Might be able to improve Nopeus with a patch like this

[ripe gulch]

i'll add it as a new option because this can be dangerous

in fact i might move the 999x speed to its own option

[fallow dragon]

Could make it a config option ala Talisman

[ripe gulch]

it'll be integrated into the vanilla settings menu to avoid confusion

replaced 999 speed with a new fast-forward option

setting it to on will set the delay of events to 0 (or near-zero for ease events), similar to 999 speed

the difference is that gamespeed can be adjusted independently of fast-forward to affect the speed of some miscellaneous animations

if fast-forward still isn't quenching your impatience, you can set it to unsafe mode which brute-forces events to run as fast as they come in

[eager dock]

oooh

[ripe gulch]

for safety and functionality reasons, the fast forward setting will automatically be set to "on" at start-up if it was initially "unsafe" beforehand

[fallow dragon]

Would say to default to off, but we dunno if that'd mess with it.
If its unsure beforehand, does that mean its just Nil or

[ripe gulch]

it does default to off when you install it, what i'm saying is

if you close the game while it's set to "unsafe", when you start the game back up, it'll be set back to "on"

[ripe gulch]

got a decent build going on here

[zealous mist]

We had Xmult jokers now it's time for /mult

[ripe gulch]

[urban acorn]

/mult?

[ripe gulch]

i better finish up as many jokers as i can before release

[urban acorn]

interesting idea imo

[urban acorn]

also im assuming this is the demo build

i don't play modded 😭

[ripe gulch]

if you don't play with mods, why are you here? 🤔

[urban acorn]

because i like mods

however i don't have the iq to install them

fun fact: my brain is actually a frog stirring a tiny cauldron filled with idea fluid

i call him penrose :p

[zealous mist]

I'm joking this is clearly a demo release date teaser

[gloomy jay]

suprised demo date is soon

[silk bloom]

It's not really hard, if you want just dm me and I can help

[ripe gulch]

oh lord, he comin'

[marble sand]

Yo I have an idea of mechanics that might interest you.

[gloomy jay]

this is a win for mail in rebate

[silk bloom]

Honestly I'm thinking gold joker and the one that gives hands for eco

Burglar?

[ripe gulch]

what is it

[marble sand]

Cluster : A grouping of 10 ante (Cluster 1 = Ante 1 - Ante 10, Cluster 2 = Ante 11 - Ante 20).

[ripe gulch]

and what purpose is it supposed to have

[marble sand]

At end of a cluster (Ante 10, Ante 20). All blinds are boss blinds... or something else.

[ripe gulch]

useless.

only takes one joker (chicot) to render it meaningless, and there's already new faster ante scaling

[marble sand]

You can search an other purpose.

It's an exemple

[ripe gulch]

honestly, the ante system is fine as it is, there's not really any need to add layers onto it

[marble sand]

One thing that could increase the difficulty would be to make a blind whose the needed score is equal to the highest hand. Or maybe the scaling himself, because idk if you'll make boss blind.

Maybe 10x the highest hand ?

[urban acorn]

hi chat i'm back

[gloomy jay]

eventually you get ^ and ^^mult so 10x mult seems like nothing

[marble sand]

With a scaling operation

[prisma granite]

i'm assuming this ignores other gourmands

[gloomy jay]

im intrested in the faster ante scaling though (mainly when does it kick in)

[ripe gulch]

any retriggering jokers can't retrigger one another

it's part of the api's design

but at a later point in the mod i may add "megatriggering" which is a second layer of retriggering that can even retrigger cards like canvas, making them do a double-run of retriggers

[silk bloom]

oh god

retrigger the retrigger

how to crash the game 101

[ripe gulch]

yes, it's going to result in frequent late-game stack overflows, no doubt about it

but ultimately it's the player's choice

you can always just... not use it, or cut down on retriggers

[ripe gulch]

it should take effect after ante 20

[gloomy jay]

👍

[ripe gulch]

the innards of how it works

[gloomy jay]

in non code terms:
starting at ante 20, an e is added, along at antes 25, 35, 50, and 70?
at 80, scaling becomes exponential, at 90, tetrational, 100, pentational, and 125, 1 arrow is added every 10 antes?

[ripe gulch]

hold the phone, you missed a detail. look at local overante

[gloomy jay]

🤔

in other terms, even faster scaling that i don't really understand

[ripe gulch]

overante is ante - threshold, so ante 21 = overante 1

[gloomy jay]

so from what i can tell, the first, well second jump happens at ante 45?

[ripe gulch]

correct

[hearty cliff]

what about making this a real concept
maybe a joker that starts with /1 mult and the amount goes down and down? since dividing with decimals gives bigger numbers

[ripe gulch]

what's the point though

[hearty cliff]

good point

[zealous mist]

/mult is just xmult ^-1

¯_(ツ)_/¯

could be a joke mod tho

[fallow dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/hype-train-activated-bowser-hype-train-gif-14185403

Why does it gotta come out on a work day tho 😭

[elfin thicket]

this mod is going to make legendary buffoon packs even more stupid than they were before and I'm all for it

[fallow dragon]

Speaking of legendary tier, we know some jokers are part of the Seven Deadly Sins. Do those count as Legendary or are they a different rarity?

[elfin thicket]

those are a secret seventh thing

they share internal rarity 6 with transcendent iirc

[fallow dragon]

not rarity 7

Why live

[ripe gulch]

not all of them are rarity 6

though with that said, it does bring up a flaw in the mod i want to correct soon, since the custom badges override the rarity badges

[elfin thicket]

point is they're a secret extra thing that you can't pull from a pack and probably have no_doe enabled

[ripe gulch]

better start organising your jokers

[prisma granite]

so if i had 50 jokers

the rightmost one gets 50 retriggers?

[ripe gulch]

yes

[fallow dragon]

Oh this is like the Island Joker from someones mod, we forgot

1st triggers 1nce, 3rd triggers 3rce, etc.

[urban acorn]

so what i'm getting at is

chicot (hate you) should go in the left and uhhh

steel joker should go in the right

[fallow dragon]

if you want yaoi hands then chicot goes on right

[urban acorn]

honestly not a bad idea, a bit broken but it's an

dafaq?

[ripe gulch]

isn't that kind of the point?

[urban acorn]

i know it's the point

[fallow dragon]

if it's broken then don't fix it - shigeru miyamoto or ssmething

[elfin thicket]

i like how this is exotic and the flat 200 retriggers one isn't

i guess once you have 20 or more jonklers this is more total retriggers

[gloomy jay]

tenebris enjoyers

[valid oar]

so i'm having an issue when i launch the game with incantation that i cant seem to figure out

[zealous mist]

do you have steamodded version 0.9.8?

[vestal moth]

that looks like 0.9.8

[stoic eagle]

It is, everything is being dumped into main.lua

When now SMODS loads the file normally

[zealous mist]

You would need to install 1.0.0 then, make sure to follow the step before Direct download

Dᴇᴍᴏ Rᴇʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴅᴇʟᴀʏᴇᴅ

The release of the demo of Jen's Almanac is being delayed to 23/08/2024 (+3 days)

Unexpectedly, I had to give up the modem I was borrowing immediately this morning, and I also may need more time than expected to iron out quirks and finish up some other jokers.

Thank you for your continued patience!

[gloomy jay]

its over/j

[grizzled cape]

It's all Jimbover.

[ripe gulch]

going to try adding another feature to nopeus

[fallow dragon]

n't

[ripe gulch]

options:

All : normal functionality
No "Again!" : stops the "Again!" text or similar text (requires 3rd party support) from appearing
No Misc. : stops flavour text of any kind from appearing (e.g. anything that isn't signalling changes to chips/mult, or something important)
None : disables popup text entirely

[obsidian mica]

You've probably been asked this before, but an option for incantation to stack jokers would be awsome

[trail heath]

he is working on it as that is pretty much the entire point of Incantation, however, the mod is still in heavy testing phases and is prolly hell to code. In the future, pls go use the actual incantation mod thread and not this one.

[obsidian mica]

is this not a thread for all of his mods?

[trail heath]

oopsy daisy, my bad bro

you right

still used to it being almanac since thats just about the only thing talked about

[obsidian mica]

[thin zenith]

its today folks...

[vestal moth]

^

[thin zenith]

oh damn

[trail heath]

wish it was but life

[zealous mist]

jokers aren't as easy to stack as you might think.
Consumables for the most part have all the same value (unless you're playing misprint deck from cryptid, which incantation doesn't support), while some jokers scale and some activate based on position etc.

and you also need to consider all consumables that affect jokers, because what if you have 5 stacked jokers, and wheel hits them, or ankh, or whatever other modded consumable

[ripe gulch]

when did i say i was working on stacking jokers?

[ripe gulch]

no intention to stack jokers

[obsidian mica]

[trail heath]

Huh, your original messages talk about it a tad so I just assumed that it’d be a thing

[heady folio]

HNJ

[ripe gulch]

wonder if i can get this working before demo release

[prisma granite]

so canvas would retrigger twice per joker?

etc.

[ripe gulch]

it'll make all retriggering jokers do a second run of retriggers

effectively doubling how many times jokers retrigger

this can very quickly exponentiate joker calculation to the point it's easy to cause game crashes if you have a retrigger-focused build

but nobody really cares anyway; we just want to see the game suffer lol

no promises megatriggers will work properly, this is merely just an experiment

[elfin thicket]

Thousand Retriggers Attack

[ripe gulch]

for maximum damage to game stability, pair artificer with rivulet

[vestal moth]

No wonder you are doing this

[ripe gulch]

no, it's mainly because i'm that one guy who doesn't really like turning off animations

[fallow dragon]

Cant wait for gigatriggers and teratriggers down the road

[sand socket]

yottatriggers

[obsidian mica]

Is this gonna be part of almanac or a different mod

[ripe gulch]

it's an upcoming update for nopeus

[obsidian mica]

Cool cool

[lusty oyster]

Mem's Malmamac is mure mandemonium

[fallow dragon]

Don't sell cards

[obsidian mica]

why did you sell the error, look what you did 😭

[fallow dragon]

If negative tag is on a negative token in negative deck does that make it just

'tag'

[silk bloom]

its a positive tag

[sand socket]

Token

[untold palm]

If you have multiple Error at once and you sell one and they're all active you can never get rid of them without generating more copies I learned that the hard way!!! XDD

[fallow dragon]

rednowwonder

[trail heath]

man this is looking extremely fun

for the first round only

lol

[ripe gulch]

Nopeus

v2.0.0

Removed x999 speed option and moved its effect into a different option
New : Fast-Forward option, can be set to Off (normal behaviour), On (set event manager delays to mostly 0), and Unsafe (makes game execute events all at once)
New : Card Popup Text option, can be set to All (normal behaviour), No "Again!" (stops retrigger notifications), No Misc. (stops all except arithmetic or important notifications), and None (stops all notifications)
When exiting the game, Nopeus will automatically switch the Fast-Forward option from Unsafe to On, if it was Unsafe before closing
⚠️ Crashes that happen exclusively within Unsafe mode will very likely not be addressed. It's called "Unsafe" for a reason!

Acquire it from GitHub or download directly below

Incantation

v0.4.0

Add mod config, includes options for stacking negatives only, and some unsafe options
Attempt to fix invisible buttons appearing on playing cards
Attempt to fix "ghost" consumables
Changed how single-use works to address a crash with certain vanilla cards
Remove some redundant code for optimisation
Unintentional tweak, but I kept it in because I find it useful; vanilla planets/planets that only just level up a hand will bulk-use automatically
Attempt to fix consumables that are emplaced into somewhere other than the consumable tray from merging with consumables in the tray

• You can still split it to different stacks if you don't want to use all of them

Acquire it from GitHub or download directly below

[nocturne hamlet]

Ignore my error report, it's due to the modpack failing to download from GitHub

[ripe gulch]

Known issue v0.4.0 : Split One button behaves like Split Half, will fix next patch

[opal hinge]

Where is the link to download, sorry I suck with discord

[lusty oyster]

https://github.com/jenwalter666/JensBalatroCollection

[white basalt]

Do the 2 new options have a GUI anywhere? (cant seem to find em under base options nor is there a config option in the mod menu)

[zealous mist]

they should appear in the normal game settings

if they don't, move Nopeus out of jensbalatrocollection folder so it's in Mods/Nopeus

[white basalt]

im good on that part dw

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zealous mist]

are you 100% sure nopeus folder has latest version? can you screenshot config.yml from it

might be some patch failing tbf

but just in case

oh wait xd

it probably is a temporary setting, there is no config file

[white basalt]

xd

[zealous mist]

what about lovely file

[white basalt]

its 2.0.0

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[zealous mist]

can you copy all console logs that say applied X patches to <filename.lua>

or screenshot if you can fit all of them

[white basalt]

is there a chance this is smod esoterics considering I just cloned their git like 10m ago

[white basalt]

aight brb

[zealous mist]

Ok yea that's very odd

[white basalt]

oh boy

[zealous mist]

ok it doesn't seem to appear on my side either

downloaded latest version as well

[white basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/ultrakill-v1-thumbs-up-thumbsup-funny-gif-9560067552549211441

welp now we know xd

[zealous mist]

caused by brainstorm

removing brainstorm fixes it

[white basalt]

god dammit brainstorm

anyways big thx @zealous mist

off i go again

[zealous mist]

np

[urban acorn]

beyond the mundane and obvious?

[olive barn]

is the demo released yet?

is 23rd

[urban acorn]

i believe not, jen might be ironing out a day 1 patch atm

[olive barn]

ah

[zealous mist]

it will be released when it's ready

[olive barn]

just making sure i wasn't missing anything, take your time

[ripe gulch]

give me a few more minutes and it'll be ready

[urban acorn]

Interesting

[lusty oyster]

yippee

[urban acorn]

How does SDM contribute again? I forgot

[ripe gulch]

one more thing i forgot to add to the bottom list: Galdur

[white basalt]

are there also known incompatabilities

[ripe gulch]

no, whatever mods you try is at your own risk

[white basalt]

then the great debugging begins

[pine gulch]

ok I'm trying to use the Almanac, but whever i have Incantation in my mods folder, the game makes it just past "Injecting Dollar Row", then just closes and dies 😭
here's my mod list to see if there's an incompat i don't know about

[lusty oyster]

is incantation most recent version

[ripe gulch]

is it v0.4.1?

[pine gulch]

using the latest main code

[ripe gulch]

[pine gulch]

damn

[white basalt]

So this mod list still crashes when starting a run

Want the log?

nvm

it was omeganum requirement

(thats a very funny req)

[ripe gulch]

by funny, you mean necessary.

[pine gulch]

OK. UPDATE:
after doing some science to my mods folder, i hath determined that The Almanac is just killing my game.

with everything necessary to install, it just shits itself with this error.

[ripe gulch]

i can't help if i don't have any of the related information (e.g. how you've installed it, error log, etc.)

[pine gulch]

wait hold on i might be stupid

i forgot to put steamodded in the folder

[gloomy jay]

🤔

[pine gulch]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand nope

still crashes

[pine gulch]

same as this one

no log

it just gives up

[gloomy jay]

i've seen one person who's gotten it to work so far

no idea what they did

[white basalt]

I can be nr 2

(works just fine now that i turned on omeganum)

[elfin thicket]

i guess it makes sense that that's a requirement

[white basalt]

occasionally my jokers just dont work but im gonna assume thats my modlist being funky

lmao

[pine gulch]

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut for ME i have omeganum turned on (just removed The Almanac from the mods folder for a bit), and this IS ON.

[white basalt]

drop the log

[pine gulch]

It just gets to the part after injecting dollar row, and dies

[white basalt]

Im gonna go a mostly uneducated guess that this loads in the same order for everyone

aka ur probs crashing on loading shaders

for whatever reason

Id just reset my modlist to whatever is compatible with jens and add mods back in batches of 2-3 til you find the problem child

Balatro loads in like 10s, its a 4min job

[pine gulch]

my modlist right now is nothing but Cryptid, Incantation, Talisman, Steamodded, Lovely, and Jens

[lusty oyster]

i actually just got gateway randomly

[gloomy jay]

weird

i have omeganum turned on

[white basalt]

also reminder to get the latest incantation and smods versions ig

i use the smods version from the cryptid dev release

[pine gulch]

same

[gloomy jay]

could you pass your mods folder rq

because at this point im out of ideas

[pine gulch]

h

it's just the absolute bare minimum

[white basalt]

lmao sure. I just re-added the restof my modlist which broke some stuff but i can cherrypick the stuff back out

[gloomy jay]

the one released on 8/21/24?

[pine gulch]

the one from the main download on the cryptid page

and just to double check, i downloaded the one from the main steamodded website, and did the main code, and

[white basalt]

xd

welp giving rogue my working mod list didnt work

meaning this is a far more schizo issue

[elfin thicket]

how do you... score a joker

does it just translate into "when triggered"

[ripe gulch]

jokers score all the time because the game runs through every joker for their editions

[elfin thicket]

yeah it just goes off per hand

[gloomy jay]

intrestingly enough supposedly the shaders won't load for me

yet they load for other people

[ripe gulch]

sounds like a corrupted installation or smth

[zealous mist]

this didnt increase with freddy's ability 😭

[ripe gulch]

not my problem

[elfin thicket]

hey is it intentional that The Hitchhiker creates exotic suits [bunco] as well

[ripe gulch]

i never considered it, but if it's still creating a full deck's worth of cards (including the full set of new suits alongside the vanilla ones) then it's fine

[elfin thicket]

yeah i just didn't expect it to create the extra two suits as well

since "full deck" is usually just the four vanilla suits

[ripe gulch]

now i wonder how many cards it'd create when we get the sigil mod

[elfin thicket]

7800 by my calculations

[ripe gulch]

i'll just remove the grey text from those deck-creating cards so it doesn't put people off

[elfin thicket]

the tarots that add a million cards to the deck are fun but it's kind of unfortunate it makes the game exponentially slower as more cards are in deck

i used a cryptid ex and my fps dropped from 160 to 20

what's weird is that the fps doesn't recover when you restart

[wise slate]

I imagine it’s to do with the number of cards the game is displaying on screen at once and how it’s aligning them all in the card area, you could look at cartomancer and see if that helps you out

[elfin thicket]

mmm thats already in the pack by default

[ripe gulch]

Incantation

v0.4.2

Change default mod priority and add a different method for 3rd party support

[solemn mantle]

where can i find almanacs zip file?

[ripe gulch]

go to the GitHub, click Code then Download ZIP

[solemn mantle]

i already did, but dont see almanac

just aruniko, incantation, jen, loop, nopeus and readme

[elfin thicket]

Jen's Almanac is the third one

it's just jen for short

[solemn mantle]

oh

oopsies

[naive fiber]

SDM_0 doesn't take into account sold playing card lol

[zealous mist]

it is removed, so kinda does?

[elfin thicket]

did you go back on this at some point?

or is this a bug

[ripe gulch]

yeah, that message was a long time ago, it's outta date lol

[urban acorn]

soooo i decided to try out the demo with all the cool mods and encountered something weird

legendary plaque card thing that said godsmarble apparently

creepypasta stuff right here
