Local Bozo attempts Balatro Modding.
#[SMOD 1.0] Balatro451
umbral shuttle
Sup, this is my personal mod
I'm more of a google drive person than github but I'll upload there for people who want to try it out when I have the time to get it set up
Got three jonklers already in the game and mostly working (no crashes, just needa fix up some UI hiccups)
All is subject to change, project is currently in prerelease/alpha stage
New Jonklers:
Pointilism Joker (Common) - Each played Ace gives +8 Mult when scored. "All part of a bigger picture"
Eclipse Joker (Rare) - 5x Mult, -4 hand size. "Let light shine out of darkness"
Rorschach Joker (Common) - Retrigger all played cards. 1 in 10 chance this card is destroyed at end of round.
if you're super eager to test or a piano falls on my head before I make a github here ya go. Should be all good except for an issue where once Rorschach disappears it'll still say "Safe!" under it just before dissapearing

tho I don't think -4 hand size is fun for the eclipse
you basically lose to psychic
umbral shuttle
yeah I did run into that problem
it's def the card I'm rebalancing a lot rn
it started out x6 and -3
strong sphinx
alright
also if you are going for the same color scheme as vanilla you should use balatro black instead of pitch black
you can find that on like scary face
umbral shuttle
kinda hard to do any minus hand size card without some weirdness since I also did a test run where the card got duplicated and left me with 0 hand size

true
tho I'm kinda already off model with having way more gradients than vanilla anyway so I'm not too concerned about that
it seems the game also just messes with the contrast as is
from testing the cards only looked the same as how I made them while pausing
had to bump up saturation a lot in the end compared to my earliest design passes
umbral shuttle
just changed some of the black levels a lil and gave rorschach a bit of a better border and yeah I'm happy enough with these ones atm

Just sell it tbh
Pareidolia vs the Plant situation
pearl shuttle
well, you can still technically score and win with debuffed cards
an eternal one of this joker would make the run iterally unwinable if the psychic showed up
But then there's the modded blind The Corpse
err the Cadaver maybe
anyway that is the same situation
umbral shuttle
I could just set it to not be in the eternal pool
though yeah the psychic softlock isn't ideal
I could live with it being -3 hand size
on the other hand blueprinting it only gives the double mult bonus
and checkered deck with -3 hand size is still just guaranteed flushes for days
strong sphinx
on the other hand blueprinting it only gives the double mult bonus
blueprint is just broken like that so its fine
umbral shuttle
base stat flushes with eclipse is only 1.5k anyway
so it's not like broken broken still
gonna go set up github now so there's a single link to refer back to
uhhh should be good?
yell at me if not

I’d maybe bring everything up a layer in your GitHub, it’ll likely end up with people having nested folders this way I think
pearl shuttle
Yeah, having random readme.mds in our mod folders doesn't hurt anything
burnt fulcrum
Man I have all sorts of crap in my mods folder

makes sense
tho it seems to wig out doing it that way for the raw repo, I'll do a release instead
pearl shuttle
i think Rorschach should maybe be uncommon. The balance is similar to Seltzer on the level
clear widget
Rorschach feels like it should have something to do with a symmetrical hand
So if you play a pair of kings and then a 3 that you wanna get rid of then you get Rorschach to pop if it's K 3 K

true
I think originally I didn't want to make too many uncommons due to Baseball Card but nah you're right it should have parity with Seltzer
umbral shuttle
So if you play a pair of kings and then a 3 that you wanna get rid of then you g...
would be cool but out of my skill level to code 
umbral shuttle
made this art yesterday
will prob have it be like a weaker Canio for heart cards
umbral shuttle
v1.0.1's out
-Code Cleanup
-Added a color to the mod tag
-Jokers are now sorted by rarity in Collection
-Fixed Rorschach Joker not displaying "Extinct!" string

Is Pointilism Joker a fusion between Scholar and Fibo?
umbral shuttle
it's a scholar where the chips are substituted for extra mult, yeah
whole flicker
Hey, the mod kept crashing on me, can you take a look?
I am using your github repo
umbral shuttle
Hey, the mod kept crashing on me, can you take a look?
could you send a screenshot of the error log?
oh nevermind I think I see the issue
yeah the release was fine it's just the github wasn't right
okay, should be fixed
it was just an issue where I renamed the png file from the default "jokers.png" to "jokers451.png" so it didn't cause conflicts and github for some reason didn't push the name change
also while I'm here may as well post about a new card I was workshopping yesterday
vivid vessel
hey look, red card but good
umbral shuttle
okay Time Card and JPod Shuffle are now in the main repo and have been pushed as a release
there is a visual bug with JPod not showing "Upgraded!" after skipping packs but I'll prob iron that out next time
merry granite
neat
vivid vessel
mix of these two
you could register time card as a fusion of those two
with fusion jokers stuffs
it is on 0.9.8 still but it's fully functional on 1.0.0 afaik
umbral shuttle
Honestly I just play balatro on steam deck in bed so I haven't messed with fusion jokers since afaik it doesnt have controller compat
But I'll look into it
pearl shuttle
Is rather not have any jokers depend on fusion jokers personslly,, but I'd think it'd be possible to have it be a normal jokey of you don't have fusion jokers installed
Which is it is is what all mods which add fusion jokers should do imo
whole flicker
The mod somehow hardcrashes when used alongside other mods eg. Talisman
