Balatro: Donut's Mod

[winter turtle]

I will concept some things I will make for a future mod! Skins, Jokers, Enchantments, and possibly so much more is to come

https://github.com/BDonutGLXY/Balatro-Donuts-Mod

yes it will just be called Donut's mod

it doesnt really need to be anything too crazy, and it will also be an Inscryption Kaycee's mod reference

heres other jokers I have created before

I also wanna make decks, I kinda wanna make one thats only face cards and aces but idk if it will work

3 aces for each suit, 3 of each face card for each suit

[craggy shadow]

Uno tho?

Based

[winter turtle]

i mean cmon how could I not

[craggy shadow]

That sounds entirely possible tbh

Gotta say this is a pretty cool seeming mod just from what you're saying and showing so far

[winter turtle]

its pretty op in a way since its easier to do houses and pairs, and you could even do a 5 of a kind out of the gate

its just that there arent a lot of cards, and straights are impossible

I NEED TO CALL IT THE GAY DECK since you cant do straights by default

[craggy shadow]

The great thing about decks is being game modes essentially, they don't really need to be balanced

[winter turtle]

good point

like the plasma deck? broken

doing some math this gay deck will have around 48 cards

[craggy shadow]

Sounds sufficient

[winter turtle]

I also wanna do blinds but it seems like a tough one to figure out

[craggy shadow]

I'm not sure it's too hard tbh

[winter turtle]

ok got one that was easy

playing card enchants are negated

[craggy shadow]

So do be fair there's already 2 or 3 blinds that people've made that debuff all enhanced cards

[winter turtle]

DANG IT

[craggy shadow]

Unlike jokers which I think duplicates are good, I think that's less the case with blinds

Though if it just makes then act non enhanced instead of debuffed that's genuinely unique

And I like it

[winter turtle]

ohhh

well thats what I wanted to do yes

i also considered "1 in 2 chance to destroy all cards in your played hand"

or just "destroys the first card in your played hand"

could make both different ones

[craggy shadow]

All good ideas tbh

[winter turtle]

I wanna think of ones that could actually screw people over

not just be an annoyance like it might just ruin your run if you do the wrong move or if your deck is only oriented around one thing

[craggy shadow]

Well than ngl I'd want to disable the blinds

That specifically is what makes me not want certain blinds in my game

[winter turtle]

I dont wanna make it too difficult, just make ones that can genuinely be a challenge and make you think

[craggy shadow]

Yeah I get that. I just... have something against blinds bricking your run off you have a specific build

[winter turtle]

very fair

[craggy shadow]

It's not inherently bad, I'd just like to disable it

[winter turtle]

I would like to allow disabling very specific blinds

oh yeah, worth noting that I wanna add suit skins aswell, these are based off the Ethereal Elements from My Singing Monsters

there will also be face card skins based off monsters from the game too, optionally with or without the suit skin if possible

I will also add face card skins based off a few games I like and possibly even my OCs

may make a joker based off the flatwoods monster, gain a random planet card when your played hand contains 5 spade cards

it has a spade shaped headdress, how could I not

[craggy shadow]

It'd be cool, though a lot of work admittedly, too make them real suits

[winter turtle]

oh they'll just be skins

[craggy shadow]

I get that

I just said it'd be cool otherwise

[winter turtle]

ohhhh

i misread

[craggy shadow]

I get not wanting to make jokers snd stuff for each of them though

[winter turtle]

It WOULD be cool to make them selarate suits, but I'd rather not yeah

[craggy shadow]

You're so much better at art than me lol

[sinful niche]

probably a good idea to make the skins compatible with #1300851004186820690

[winter turtle]

noted

I wanna make at least like 3 legendaries but I only got like 2 so far

first is actually inspired by my persona, while the other is based around a drag queen (as I remember someone comparing them to clowns)

first gives a random Donut's Mod joker when you do a flush with clovers

(not counting legendaries)

[craggy shadow]

That's not much of a legendary imo. But a cool idea regardless

[winter turtle]

with negative maybe?

just remembered I wanted to do that

[craggy shadow]

Yeah that'd work :3

[winter turtle]

the other may give ×1 multi for every queen in your full deck

[craggy shadow]

Though you're gonna need at least ~30 jokers in the mod imo for it to start being really cool

[winter turtle]

I could make at least 25

[craggy shadow]

Sounds good to me

[winter turtle]

Will hella do more but I may be slow when it comes to ideas

[craggy shadow]

Very fair

[winter turtle]

I like how its the most affective with my concepted "gay deck"

anyways, random joker idea or consumable

hidden block card

gives $10 [after beating the boss blind], 1 in 10 chance to instead transform into a random rare joker

its based off an item of the same name from mario party

I am leaning towards making it a tarot, calling it "The Bricks" or "The Lucky"

or "The Hidden"

yes I know its not based off a real tarot card, and I don't think it REALLY needs to be, I think it would be funny if I made some that arent based off real tarot cards

[craggy shadow]

Plenty of mods tarots aren't based on real tarots so that's fine

[winter turtle]

I thought most people made tarot cards based off real tarots that arent used in the vanilla game for the most part lol

oh yeah might wanna archive this idea here

Vanilla ice cream coupon

×1.5 multi if you are not using any other modded jokers

[craggy shadow]

Lol. That's dogshit (in power level not as an idea)

But fits the vanillia common power level to be fair

[winter turtle]

Yeah it may be a common

I guess its power level would depend on how many joker mods youre using though lol

and how many my mod in general will have

[craggy shadow]

Well I have 1300 jokers in game, so lol

[winter turtle]

oh

I realized I may wanna make some custom vouchers too

I kinda wanna make one where you can see your next two cards, but that would probably be very difficult to program

yes two instead of one, because of misprint

[craggy shadow]

There's a joker like that, so you can reference its code

[winter turtle]

oh yeah right

Black Tie

Diamonds are considered both Spades and Clubs

(not the other way around like smear)

I think this one is clever due to ties being diamond shaped and stereotypically being red, but being black here

[craggy shadow]

Yeah they makes sense

[winter turtle]

I know I wanted to have a card that makes a suit count as another but I didn't want it to be busted when paired with Smear

its still quite powerful though

Paper plane (ment to look like the usual joker but folded into a paper plane)

×2 multi if the played hand contains a straight. ×0.75 multi if the played hand contains a pair.

[winter turtle]

J Square

^2 Multi if your played hand is a pair

I also wanna add a joker thats also completely useless, just 1

1 in 100 chance to give +4 multi

not completely but its still mostly pointless to have

[winter turtle]

I want it to look like it was originally a red tie, but painted over

[winter turtle]

I wanna do a card enchantment that gives ^2 one way or another and actually try and make it balanced

without just making glass card again

[robust glade]

is that jimbobrine

no way

[winter turtle]

that ones based off spore cards from inscryption lol

anyways, I kinda wanna make a legendary that causes glass cards to never break and lucky cards garenteed to give +20 multi

[winter turtle]

Axis card

Gives ^2 multi to your next played hand when this card is discarded.

I wanna make a joker that gives ^4 multi, based around the idea of the 4th dimension

but that will be so hard to balance

maybe smth like

Gives ^4 multi if your previous 4 hands had exactly 4 scored cards

[winter turtle]

I will not be doing the hyperjoker idea

unless I change that to ×4

I will however, change J Square to where it will give ^2 after 4 played hands that contain a pair are played

[winter turtle]

btw if I added a custom suit it would probably be smth like toruses or flasks

not that I will for sure, just in case I get a cool idea

[winter turtle]

I wanna make a new consumable card type and I think I got an idea

Snacks

They give strong effects, but only ones that are temporary (usually) and can only be used during a blind

for example, using a doughnut would cause all scored cards in your next played hand to trigger twice

but idk I may change this

[winter turtle]

part of me wants to make a skin for the planet cards based around super mario galaxy planets

[winter turtle]

just realized why I dont like snacks

they dont fit the sorta "magical" or "mideavil" vibe Balatro already has

so instead

potions

[winter turtle]

im ngl most of this is gonna just be me saying things that come to my mind

[craggy shadow]

Maybe 'refreshments' just because there's 'potions' in some other mods

[winter turtle]

oh wait yeah make it like, just old fashioned drinks

[winter turtle]

actually I should make the "useless card" a reference to the dud

The Dud

You got The Dud! This does nothing. Get fooled.

[winter turtle]

Scratch card

1 in 10 chance to give 10,000 chips

tbh I wanna sprite these jokers today but i think i have a bit of burnout

[winter turtle]

how broken would a joker that where if the first card of a played hand is a 2, that 2 gives ^2 mult

I think having a oh wait hanging chad, yeah

[robust glade]

why are you addicted to ^2

[winter turtle]

sorry

[winter turtle]

I almost wanna make a joker enchantment that just like, gives money, but that seems too basic

I also wanna think of a stamp for playing cards, I guess I can just make one associated with my new consumable

Pink Stamp
Gain a refreshment when this card is discarded

[winter turtle]

surprised I havent thought of jokers that transform playing cards

[winter turtle]

???

Upgrades scored cards with the rank 2, 3, 4, or 5 to a higher rank

(idk if this will chain with hack)

(but it will be cool if it did)

[winter turtle]

Double Dice

1 in 2 chance to retrigger any played card

[winter turtle]

idk how good a joker that gives +2 mult for every scored 2-9 would be

but I wanna do smth like that

or at least use my telephone idea for something else

[winter turtle]

Necromancer

Recreates the last destroyed or sold Joker when sold

Necromancer may already be used though, so I may think of a different theme

[winter turtle]

a few refreshments I thought of

Milk - +3 Hands for this round
Wine - +3 Discards for this round
Buffet - Gives two random refreshment cards
-# must have room
Doughnut - All jokers are triggered twice for your next hand

[robust glade]

Sparkling Water - Creates Splash for each unscored card in played hand (must have room)

obligatory

[winter turtle]

BIG fan of that one

[winter turtle]

justa rough idea for now

I wanna make it look like it was taken from a cook book, in a way

[craggy shadow]

looks pretty good already tbh

[loud fog]

wait wait wait

[winter turtle]

Brittle enchantment (exclusive to cards created by jokers and some consumables)

This card is destroyed after being played

for example, a refreshment that created 3 brittle copies of a selected card

[winter turtle]

Possible legendary

If numbers on a joker were to be reduced, they do not.
(For example, turtle bean doesnt lose hand size)

[winter turtle]

just realized I wanna make a joker based off hanafuda cards

my current idea is

×1.5 multi for every scored card with the same rank as the first discarded card

[frank topaz]

made me remember that there was a hanafuda deck project someone was working on a while ago, but it doesn't look like it was very far along

[winter turtle]

oh huh, neat

I DID briefly consider making hanafuda cards playing cards but I don't think I could make it work

[frank topaz]

it was an interesting take on what is basically a suit mod https://github.com/tvroonhove/HanafudaHybridMod

[winter turtle]

Hexed Mirror

6 and 9 are considered the same rank

it could also be a sex joke but id rather not

[winter turtle]

I almost wanna make deck backs as skins like I may have a good idea for how one may look but I won't actually have a unique deck ides for it

which I still wanna think of deck ideas but I currently don't have a lot

maybe one where you get the 50% off voucher at the start (I forgot its name sorry) but one way of gaining money is cut off

I wouldnt use it, others probably would though

ive also been reminded that I almost wanna make a face card skin based off my OCs, just the one

I originally wanted to keep my OCs out of the equation but it wouldnt hurt to do it just once

[winter turtle]

when creating jokers I didnt really follow a specific color palette for the most part, but I did colorpick some at least, and tried to use the main black color

I just need to make it light and desaturated at least ig

[winter turtle]

I should be documenting my joker ideas I just realized

[winter turtle]

thinking about hiding some "cryptid" cards in my mod

forgot to say other things fuck

they may be like super hidden n shit

you have to do very very specific things to get em

[winter turtle]

the way ive been drawing cards was completely wrong

I wonder if theres a full palette that I can just grab to make this easier, as I don't wanna go and colorpick every joker

[robust glade]

urine look

[winter turtle]

ty

[winter turtle]

ok I may or may not be getting a computer soon

[winter turtle]

unnamed card unchantment

1 in 2 chance for this card to return to your hand when played

im considering "recycled"

[winter turtle]

I think im gonna make the legendary jokers just be associated with all 4 suits

[winter turtle]

got a laptop, it just needs some fixes and i will start work on making a few jokers and playing other mods

...maybe after I play oddada for a few hours

ive been wanting to play it for a while

[winter turtle]

Copies the ability of a random joker every played hand

would this be considered a common or an uncommon?

[warm summit]

uncommon, its not as good as blueprint but it doesnt deserve to be in common

[warm summit]

that would be awesome, wonder what they would do

[winter turtle]

may buff em a bit but heres my three ideas so far

I dont have the spade equivalent yet though

[warm summit]

ooh

which is which? or is it just general ideas for what they should do

[winter turtle]

I said clovers instead of clubs but yeah the first represents clubs

2nd represents diamonds

and the 3rd represents hearts

I did have rough concepts for the first two's art, ill get em in the mornin

also I dont have a proper name for most of em btw

[warm summit]

since 2x mult every broken glass card you could do something along the lines of heartbreak

[winter turtle]

smth simple like that works yeah

[warm summit]

mayhaps

yeah no ping me in the morning this seems cool

[winter turtle]

The Crowd

×5 Mult if played hand contains a Five of a Kind

Unfortunately someone probably already done this though

I do wanna make some jokers that activate when lesser used hands are played, like a high card or a five of a kind

[warm summit]

could be five of a kind faces since its a crowd

[winter turtle]

ok enchantment idea but its probably bad
Copper

+15 Mult, loses 1 mult every time it is scored

[winter turtle]

do you mean it should only activate when its a five of a kind with only face cards? that defeats the purpose of what I wanna do with it, I wanna have it be like the other × Mult when hand played jokers

[warm summit]

gotcha

[warm summit]

seems good for glass card

[winter turtle]

god DAMMIT the heartbreak card is too similar to a vanilla card

[winter turtle]

well I should try n actually implement what the suit represents into each legendary joker better

[warm summit]

honestly i say do something like chip multiplier jokers

thatd be fun

maybe a little overpowered but fun

i mean plasma deck does exist so its probably not the worst

@winter turtle spades could also be 2x mult for every ace spades played, in reference to ace of spades by motorhead

just some ideas

[winter turtle]

I did consider the concept of chip mult but I dont think I wanna do that?

good idea for the spades though

my issue with multiplying chips is that I could just add mult instead, its only useful with plasma deck

[winter turtle]

someone likely already done this but I do kinda wanna make an enchantment where theres a 1 in 8 chance for it to level up the played hand

[warm summit]

ohh yeah

pseudo space joker

[warm summit]

could synergize well with that five of a kind joker you wanted to do

[warm summit]

i was just thinking itd be mostly for variety

i haven't really seen it and it might be useful in some scenarios

would be good for early game

[winter turtle]

its only useful with plasma deck I will admit, thats the only time its different than adding mult

I do have a better idea for the legendary though

when a glass card breaks, it levels up the played hand 3 times

the design im thinking of has some relation to space so it seems fitting

I also have an idea, joker that creates a Joker joker with negative, one way or another

(may create a misprint very very rarely as an easter egg?)

[winter turtle]

I considered a "birthday card" that only works on specific dates, but if I wanted to make it a better card it will only trigger for each played 10 or 5

+20 mult maybe but thats a bit strong

(these numbers reference my birthday)

[warm summit]

that would synergize really well with hack + the five of a kind joker

hell maybe even fib

would probably be broken

[winter turtle]

you are hella right and that makes me wanna make it more

perhaps it will be a rare if I decide to stick with +20 mult

but I might reduce it

[warm summit]

is this an unbalanced mod or just more regular

like it doesnt seem very unbalanced

just slightly

cause +20 free mult is kinda crazy

[winter turtle]

just ment to be a normal mod for the most part

asides from some easter eggs possibly

[winter turtle]

Sticker Deck

All cards have a random decal

if it ends up being too OP I may add -1 discard

[winter turtle]

apparently I have over 20 ideas already

not saying ill be able to do all of them easily

I dread coding connection, its so specific

[manic anvil]

ooh

connection doesnt seem so bad in theory
i have a similarish effect in my mod's marionette

feel free to ask for like
coding help if you need!

[winter turtle]

good to know

[winter turtle]

btw this mod will never have a proper name it will just be called Donut's Mod

...I probably said that already but whatever

[robust glade]

call it the Donut Box

[winter turtle]

that IS a good name though

[winter turtle]

may scrap this idea as clearly this is going to suck, and there are much better mods currently being created

[manic anvil]

aww
sad to hear it if so

i understand tho if you lost interest in mod making

but like i dont think it matters if any mod is like better than another, or if a mod is horribly unbalanced or whatever

[winter turtle]

I was wrong Im makin this shit, i had one of those Late Night Meltdowns™️ again

[manic anvil]

mod making is like
an expression of you

[manic anvil]

hell yeah!!

then glad to hear it, donut

nice seeing you around again also

[winter turtle]

yeah, I kinda wanted to distance myself from the inscryption modding community due to a few people

I always liked you, cool to see you around aswell

unfortunately its taking a while to start since some guys are taking too long to just put some ram in my computer (I was too scared to)

[robust glade]

don't let this stop you ever

you shouldnt hold yourself to the standard of other people or mods

[winter turtle]

yeah I realized that

[robust glade]

i dont wanna see anyone give up on modding because their mod is "not good enough"

[manic anvil]

aww thank you kindly

yeah, inscryption discord, was, kind of toxic at times

[manic anvil]

man
hopefully you get it fixed soon

[winter turtle]

redesigning SJB, may be an uncommon instead though

its a reference to the fact that 8-bit intigers can only go up to 255

it resets to zero when reaching 256

[winter turtle]

maybe I should post all the random ideas I got rn

I think I will make slime an uncommon though

[winter turtle]

btw, the plane card says ×0.75 mult if played hand contains a pair

and the faulty headset has a 1 in 10 chance to break (may be a cavendish situation where a new card can be bought afterwards)

[winter turtle]

btw one thing about this mod is that its supposed to at least sort of feel vanilla, nothing that changes the game too much

[winter turtle]

I wanna make a Joker that like, encompasses the cringe energy of sparkledogs

yes i couldve grabbed this image by itself but I wanted to credit the artist

[winter turtle]

my only idea is that it gives good ×Mult as a reference to OP ocs and such, but has some kind of very noticable drawback

[winter turtle]

I have counts for everything now, it all automatically updates

oh fuck i have 33 jokers

[warm summit]

could be like the 1 in 7 chance to make one of your cards flipped upside down boss blind

something along those lines

[winter turtle]

I like that idea

I also considered played cards having a chance to be destroyed

[winter turtle]

Part of me wants to make a Joker based around game corruptions cuz I love the aesthetic but I feel like way too many people have done that

kinda like with what I got with the background of my art

maybe I could make it unique idk

once I think of an actually good idea of what it will do, it initially just gave a random amount of chips

[winter turtle]

I need to make more jokers that do smth when sold

[winter turtle]

lowkey wanna make a joker that gives the joker next to it a random edition

Empty Baffoon pack

Gives the joker to the left of this one Foil, Holographic, or Polychrome when sold

(can be bought in the shop but theres a very slim chance for it to be created when actually opening any buffoon pack)

[robust glade]

don't forget to make eternal_compat false

[winter turtle]

im ngl I thought jokers like that were compatible with eternal considering jokers like the egg aren't

but that makes sense, yeah

[worthy harness]

50,000 soda flavors: come outside

[winter turtle]

I have a very silly and mostly pointless idea

stickers

just to decorate cards for fun

will likely be a separate mod from my jokers and such

will probably be difficult to code though

[manic anvil]

oh you

sjhrjshd it sounds really difficult actually, knowing how balatro renders stuff

you'd either need a bunch of sprites or a custom shader i feel

[winter turtle]

that would make sense

I don't think I will attempt to make stickers rotateable or anything
but if allowing people to put a sticker anywhere on a card is difficult, I may only make it where it can only be placed in a few specific spots

god maybe I set up hell incarnate

[winter turtle]

While this may make the stickers idea more boring, it may be smart to make it where you can replace a Joker's blind sticker with one

[winter turtle]

I should be getting my laptop back on the weekend, cant wait to check other mods and start work on my own

if i dont im going to fucking scream

[winter turtle]

Rot, rare

×2 Mult. reduces by ×0.1 each hand.
Any Joker considered a food joker (except Rot) is turned into a Rot with ×2 Mult

also I didnt get my computer back today I SWEAR TO GOD

[winter turtle]

Necromancer

Retrigger all card sold/destroyed abilities

[winter turtle]

my jokers are kinda, self indulgent, they're mostly Jokers I personally would use

I know I can do whatever I want with my mod, but it would be interesting to make Jokers I wouldn't use, but others would like to

[mighty wraith]

I've got some sprites if you want them

[winter turtle]

y'know what sure ill use these, but typically I want to make most of the art myself

[mighty wraith]

Yeah, I expected this, it’s just that the stars aligned for the dud

[winter turtle]

I was gonna make a single Joker based around Pentominoes but for some reason, I almost wanna make a Joker based off each one somehow, or maybe make it its own consumable type?

idk I may not I just wanna do smth more with the weird shapes for no reason

[winter turtle]

I think I once made a love letter card that gives chips when a hand has only hearts and contains a pair

but tbh, I wanna make it instead be a pair of boxers (the stereotypical white ones with hearts)

[winter turtle]

"First played ace card gives a random spectral card when scored"

Is this OP for a rare or no

oh wait yeah that hella is due to the fact it can be retriggered

ill make it just "Creates a random spectral card if the played hand contains an ace"

[manic anvil]

feels a little easy imo

[manic anvil]

ooooh, i do remember seeing bunco implement a polymino consumable type (though common concensus is it was weird and unfitting) so itd be neat to see!

[robust glade]

it "links" together four cards with certain rules

when one card is selected, every linked card is, and they're all drawn with each other, which can exceed the draw limit

[manic anvil]

i mean yeah i know what it did

unless you were explaining to donut in which case woops sorry

[robust glade]

it was cool

[winter turtle]

ill make it where the ace card is destroyed aswell, and only make it where if the first played card is an ace

[winter turtle]

thats funky

[winter turtle]

wait no it should be if its just a single ace

[winter turtle]

Anyways, I'll figure out what to do with those
Its gonna be hard to figure out what kinda of effects I want them to do though

Maybe they're weak but you can often use two or more

My only issue is that idk if I wanna have two different consumable types

[winter turtle]

...theres 12 Pentominoes, and 12 Hands

I'm not sure how they would affect hands though

maybe they only add chips? this is tough

im also considering doubling both the chip and mult output but that may be a bit OP
I could just make them rarer though

[winter turtle]

I think the most ridiculous joker ive made so far is Captioned Ace Buoy for the name alone

[manic anvil]

oh so its just like, sixth sense but with aces

[manic anvil]

ooooh fair fair

[winter turtle]

I did realize later that I want it to function a bit differently than sixth sense

[quartz scarab]

???

[winter turtle]

I do not know how to respond to your query

[quartz scarab]

And I don’t know what I’m looking at, so we’re in the same boat here

What is a sparkle dog, why make a joker based on it, and who is the person behind it (like why do they make these, and why are they cringe)

[winter turtle]

I dont entirely understand what a sparkle dog is actually but its the best example of what I mean, theres a specific type of culture that I'm thinking of thats typically called "cringe" but idk the word for it

[quartz scarab]

Like the “neon rainbow oc don’t steal” type?

[winter turtle]

yyyeah

[winter turtle]

while I don't think ill focus on making my mod fusion compatible, I may make a few fusions of my Jokers as little easter eggs

[winter turtle]

Ok so I have some good news and some bad news

good news

[WIP/CONCEPTING] Donut's mod

bad news they werent able to add extra ram to my computer

[noble plover]

ну и хуйня

[winter turtle]

indeed

[winter turtle]

ok so I will not focus on sprites yet but I may see if I could try and code a few simple jokers as practice

I currently don't have aseprite on this thing or a mouse

[winter turtle]

I get the appeal of Xchips now

so there may be some Jokers that do Xchips but I don't think I'll do a lot

I did some weird math in my head and thought it wouldnt be better than just adding mult

chips and dip

×2 Chips, reduces by ×0.1 every round

I want it to be a common cuz I need more commons

[winter turtle]

nvm thats just nachos

from paperback

yes im playing a few mods these are fun

[winter turtle]

I also realized Boredom from cryptid is similar to Double Dice but maybe in this case its fine

[winter turtle]

I was able to create Hekikomori (×1.5 if played hand has only 1 card) lets fucking go

im honestly so proud of myself

im so inexperienced with coding

I should be sleeping though

[winter turtle]

I need to add the steammodded tag to this now, dunno how to though

[winter turtle]

would a joker that gives ×2 chips if played hand contains no face cards or 10s be more deserving of being a common or uncommon

[quartz scarab]

So if the hand contains only cards that require some effort to get high chip amounts on?

[winter turtle]

asides from aces yes

[winter turtle]

im surprised I didnt think of The Dud just giving a few chips

[winter turtle]

I think once I create a few refreshments and create the required sprites, I'll release a sorta beta

[winter turtle]

the slop is a placeholder for refreshment cards

also a template for making them I suppose

[winter turtle]

I may have realized xchips is almost the exact same as xmult so idk if I wanna do xchips

[warm summit]

the dice and oops all sixes sound like a good synergy

very versatile since it works on every card

makes sense because theyre both dice

[winter turtle]

its also a good addition for a lucky cat deck if you have all 6s with it aswell

[winter turtle]

yeah I like the cool little connections

[warm summit]

the wine looks sweet

seems to be alot of food based jokers in this mod which plays well with what balatro is wanting to do rn

(making more food based jokers)

[winter turtle]

I mean my names donut I have to focus on food lol

[warm summit]

true true

[winter turtle]

oh btw, the refreshment cards are typically cards with temporary effects (typically only for the blind it was used for)

[warm summit]

or you could make a joker based on theories about the universe shaped as a torus

[winter turtle]

wine gives 3 discards for example (may change it to 2 eventually though)

[warm summit]

(donut shaped)

[winter turtle]

Abso fucking lutely

[warm summit]

The Toroidal Universe Theory proposes that the universe may not actually be expanding but only appears to be because space-time dynamically flows with the geometry of a torus.

id say it would be cool as a legendary but iirc your already adding legendary jokers so

dont wanna flood the game with them

[winter turtle]

that would be cool as a legendary but it doesnt work with what I have in mind

will hella make it a rare though

[warm summit]

yea, plus not sure what itd even do

maybe like once you open a planet booster pack you always get another one immediately after?

[winter turtle]

that has a similar effect to another card idea I have so idk

but having some kind of association with planet cards makes sense

[warm summit]

mhm

[winter turtle]

https://github.com/BDonutGLXY/Balatro-Donuts-Mod yeah

[worthy harness]

May i suggest a refreshment that could be in the mod?

[winter turtle]

go ahead

[worthy harness]

"Muffin"
X1.5 Blind Reward on current blind. (Max $10)

[winter turtle]

Oh yes I'm surprised I haven't done smth like that yet

anyways I know what I'm doing with the pentomino cards now, kind of

its kinda like the zodiac cards I suppose but only when a particular card is used in it

[winter turtle]

I think this works

they will be considered decals btw

[winter turtle]

[WIP/BETA] Donut's mod

actually

Balatro: Donut's Mod

[warm summit]

you could make a joker called "box of chocolates" where over a certain amount of rounds gives any consumable card including spectral and tarot sorta like cartomancer

if you really wanted to balance it, could include planets

itd probably be common

or if you wanna be a little more unique it could work like soda and it could be a rare joker

where if you sell it you get the effects

[winter turtle]

I may make it where it will give any random consumable and be destroyed after a few rounds

as if youre taking chocolate from the box

I would like for it to include modded consumables but I probably cant easily do that, so just tarots, planets, and spectrals it is

btw

I may have some secret jokers, likely for another project (addon for cryptid?)

[winter turtle]

Gift

After 3 (maybe 5 though idk) rounds, sell this card to create a random rare Joker

[warm summit]

the gift seems cool, maybe if you get a certain joker like "boxcutters" or something you could open it

or atleast nerf it so its not as easy to just get a rare joker

needs some special requirement tbh

[robust glade]

50% chance to give gift card, 50% chance to give rare joker

[winter turtle]

wait thats clever

[winter turtle]

how would y'all feel about editions that function like food jokers

[robust glade]

i hate it

[winter turtle]

alright noted

[warm summit]

like temporary strength?

[winter turtle]

basically yeah

[warm summit]

honestly dont think we need any more of those, ice cream and popcorn are fine

and also ramen is technically temporary strength

[winter turtle]

tbh a lot of Jokers may end up being scrapped as I am not good at coding and my questions must be annoying people

[ruby kite]

MSM CARDS

BASED

[robust glade]

dont let that stop you

[frank topaz]

There's a lovely incompatibility between this and grim. I can suggest a change to one of your patches:

[winter turtle]

oh darn

lemme see this

[winter turtle]

went ahead and added that for the next update, for now I'll let people know that the current version is incompatible with Grim

[winter turtle]

just made a deck btw

I'm mostly thinking of this deck in the context of Refreshments btw

[winter turtle]

how do y'all feel about this

[winter turtle]

new Black Tie art

[robust glade]

it'd be written as "Creates a random Perishable Rare Joker"
and it should probably be must have room

and it should probably say bypasses perishable compatibility

[winter turtle]

oh yeah

[winter turtle]

tbh I kinda dont want it to do that for a few reasons, I just want it to just choose any joker thats actually perishable compatible

mainly because one Joker I wanna make is gonna be a rare thats ment to always spawn with eternal

[robust glade]

meant* and you can just

exclude that joker manually from the pool for this other card...

[winter turtle]

alright

[winter turtle]

I'm starting to not like the refreshments as I do not have a lot of good ideas for temporary effects

[winter turtle]

this card is probably bad tbh

also idk what food to even base it around

maybe a tart

[worthy harness]

maybe a toaster strudel since those are traditionally card-shaped from what i recall

[winter turtle]

smart idea

[robust glade]

water bottle
all played cards are scored and retrigger once this blind

[winter turtle]

Ive been wanting to make that but i honestly have no idea how im supposed to do that

[robust glade]

i can help

[winter turtle]

oh well cool

[robust glade]

so you're gonna need a lovely patch

well actually you don't need one

you can do one if you wanna

would you want it to be all cards retrigger once or only extra scored cards retrigger once

the logic that makes the cards actually score is scoring_hand[i] = G.play.cards[i]

not sure what context you'd do it in, if you can't get it working then lovely patch it

something like this

if wateractive == true then
  scoring_hand[i] = G.play.cards[i]
  if context.repetition and context.cardarea == G.play then
    return {
      repetitions = 1,
      message = localize('k_again_ex'),
      card = card
    }
   end
end
if context.end_of_round then
wateractive = false
end

should work?
set wateractive to true when the consumable is used or whatever i don't know the system you use for refreshments

if that doesn't score all played cards you can lovely patch it

if it were to only retrigger extra scored cards it'd be a bit different

but still pretty easy for a splash veteran such as myself

[winter turtle]

alright cool

[winter turtle]

btw, since I already have a refreshment that retriggers all cards, this one will just make all cards be scored

[winter turtle]

this is my current code, its considering scoring_hand[i] nil

also, btw, these refreshments run on code originally made for statements for dreadjokers, the dev let me use em

lovely patches I mean

[robust glade]

yeah i think you need to lovely patch it then

[winter turtle]

makes sense

[robust glade]

got the location and file for you

[manifest]
version = "1.0.0"
dump_lua = true
priority = 0

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "functions/state_events.lua"
pattern = "for i=1, #G.play.cards do"
position = "after"
payload = """

"""
match_indent = true

[winter turtle]

so I just need to add this and the code I already made for the consumeable will work?

[robust glade]

set up a global variable that changes to true when the ability is active

and then set that variable to false at end of round

in the payload here check if that variable is true

and if it is, scoring_hand[i] = G.play.cards[i]

[winter turtle]

alright cool

[robust glade]

that should work

i used the same patch for my mod so I'd be surprised if it didn't work

[robust glade]

it could retrigger only extra scored cards to still set it apart from retrigger all but make it less niche

[winter turtle]

that is true

[robust glade]

i can put together the code for that if you want it to do that

[vagrant flint]

King Crab - Uncommon
+$10 per round.

-$1 whenever you purchase an item from the shop (and reroll?)

[winter turtle]

I already have a joker that does exactly that lol

[winter turtle]

that would be helpful yes

[vagrant flint]

Oh 💀

[winter turtle]

tbf its not in the release version

[robust glade]

i've done this a thousand times i say as i crack my knuckles and proceed to copy my own code because i'm too lazy to rewrite it

[winter turtle]

LOL fair

[robust glade]

do you want the extra scored cards check to be a function i have a function for that

are you gonna target extra scored cards with other things

[winter turtle]

I know I wanna make a joker that checks specifically for unscored cards but idk if that'll help for it

[robust glade]

it's the same check for both unscored and extra scored i believe

[winter turtle]

ah

[robust glade]

mine is just always used in the context that splash is in play because of my mod's nature

[winter turtle]

yeah your mod is like a bunch of splash fusions right?

[robust glade]

yess

[winter turtle]

I think I saw it in passing, seems cool

[robust glade]

just rename the function so it doesn't conflict with my mod

function card_is_splashed(card)
        local _,_,_,scoring_hand,_ = G.FUNCS.get_poker_hand_info(G.play.cards)
        for _, scored_card in ipairs(scoring_hand) do
            if scored_card == card then
                return false
            end
        end
        return true
    end

and this should work for detecting if each card is unscored/extra scored (if splash is in play)

[winter turtle]

cool

[robust glade]

i run it like this

that's pretty much it

have fun

also also while i'm here

can i get fusion permission for your mod

[winter turtle]

sure!!

[robust glade]

:D

whenever i get confident enough at art to make them I will make more crossmod fusions

[winter turtle]

I know I wanted to make a few fusions as silly easter eggs

so anyways this is how I would set a global variable right? would I need to make it an if statement and add scoring_hand[i] = G.play.cards[i]?

[robust glade]

you don't need to do it in the lovely patch

you just need to check it in the lovely patch

do it in your code outside any jokers/functions

and you don't need to write GLOBAL_ before it

[winter turtle]

ah

[robust glade]

lua automatically makes them global, unless you write Local <variable>

and it doesn't like globals starting with lowercase

[winter turtle]

so what you're saying is that I need to make the variable true outside of the consumeable's code, I'm unsure how I'm supposed to do that
I'm still new-ish to coding bear with me here

[robust glade]

no you need to define the variable

outside the consumable's code

[winter turtle]

oh so I just put Sparklingwateractive = false somewhere else and thats it

[robust glade]

yeah somewhere near the top of your code

that declares the variable as a global

[winter turtle]

makes a lot of sense

it should work now then

ive almost got it its just not doing it for the first hand which is funky

ive got it

it works perfectly lets go

yes I decided on the name sparkling water, seemed the most fitting
also ignore all the woos it was a debug thing that I decided to keep because its a little funny

I think I'll make another Legendary Joker, create some art and release an update

[winter turtle]

is this too weak for a legendary?

if so I may change it back to being a flush made of only clovers

[alpine skiff]

thats insane wdym

straigt flush builds are op with that

[robust glade]

yeah it's too weak

[winter turtle]

I also considered making it a random hand but that may make it still pretty weak

[robust glade]

maybe it could have separate effects for when straights or flushes are played

and also do something on straight flush

[winter turtle]

wait thats smart

gives a random joker foil for flushes, polychrome for straights, negative for straight flush

[vagrant flint]

“Erm, achtually, thunk says that jokers should only have one effect 🤓👆

[robust glade]

yeah well thunk can go suck my extra scored balls /j

[winter turtle]

ill see if I can make a new release in a moment as I'll have my computer worked on on Saturday or Friday, note that there will be a LOT of placeholder sprites

and it will exclude the Legendary Jokers I made

id rather only add them once I have the sprites

[winter turtle]

https://github.com/BDonutGLXY/Balatro-Donuts-Mod/releases/tag/0.9.0

I need to add more rares next update I feel

[winter turtle]

I was questioning if my refreshments were even good but like I decided to do a random run with my mod and three refreshments I had basically saved my run... for now

sparkling water is cracked

[winter turtle]

noticing a few mispellings and odd wordings of some descriptions

[winter turtle]

I noticed a bug involving Cryptid's link sticker where it will straight up crash the game when some of my Jokers are linked

it doesnt seem to be able to detect the joker

both ways

[winter turtle]

https://github.com/BDonutGLXY/Balatro-Donuts-Mod/releases/tag/0.9.1 made some minor bug fixes

nvm theres a GAME CRASH because I forgot a single comma

im having issues with the github repo rn

[winter turtle]

https://github.com/BDonutGLXY/Balatro-Donuts-Mod fixed it all

[winter turtle]

a LOT of my cards may be missing card = card

[winter turtle]

Refreshments that use calculate = function currently cause a crash with Cryptid

[winter turtle]

ALSO btw I may end up changing how refreshments work, I have a small theory that I can use globals rather than using statements' lovely patches

Preservation (rare chance to spawn in any taste pack, counts as a spectral)

Refreshments can now have permanent effects
-# (Some Refreshments may still have their effects removed when sold)

[vocal dome]

.

[winter turtle]

keeping this post open i assume?

[vocal dome]

now im realizing you can follow posts, but i was on mobile and sleep deprived so idc

[winter turtle]

ah

[winter turtle]

52 in 1 cartridge

Chance for x5 Mult increases by 1 for every discard (starts at 1 in 52)

or I may name it Joker 52

[vagrant flint]

Does the odds reset once it lands or is it permanent?

[winter turtle]

permanent

maybe ill make one with increasing chances that resets after the boss blind though

[winter turtle]

btw ive been focusing on modding another game so it will be a while til the next update

[winter turtle]

lowkey wanna make another mod where I try to fuse Blueprint with a bunch of Jokers

[robust glade]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-anime-gif-25275767

[winter turtle]

textmode joker

I'm not actually sure what to do with this but it may be related to 6s and 4s

[winter turtle]

eventually I wanna add a few unique playing cards/ranks but I havent figured out what exactly I wanna do

[worthy harness]

Gains +1 mult per card played if played hand only contains 6's and 4's

[night mango]

Is the mod BetterCalc compatible?

[winter turtle]

i dont actually know

as idk what bettercalc even is

[winter turtle]

brainstorming blinds

I decided that Boss blinds are gonna be based around different taste sensations and showdown blinds be based around different food groups

[quartz scarab]

Scaling stuff being reset to base seems funny

The Savoury could be that

[placid spade]

hey um
what happens if you get to Umami and all of your hands are level 2 or higher

[winter turtle]

I would like for the blind to only appear if you have a few hands that are level 1

[quartz scarab]

So ante requirement plus (at least three?) level one hand requirement

[winter turtle]

think I'll end up workin on this more soon

[winter turtle]

tbh i think ill change the umami to instead only allow you to play hands that are level 2 or greater

[winter turtle]

not my ass wanting to make some Jokers that reference ufo 50

[winter turtle]

due to real world circumstances, I likely will not be able to continue with this mod in the near future

you will also not hear from me again someday

oh btw, before you ask, its too political and touchy to discuss in this server

[night mango]

Don't worry, please live well

[winter turtle]

I unfortunately won't be able to.

[vague robin]

🫡

best of luck man

[winter turtle]

I may be wrong but I'm not feelin the best rn

[vagrant flint]

Whatever it is, I hope you're going to be alright ❤️

[winter turtle]

Im feelin pretty alright now

but either way I havent been focusing on this mod as much lol

I will do smth eventually

[vagrant flint]

https://tenor.com/view/civu-release-tomorrow-gif-25491829

[winter turtle]

one random idea I got earlier and should hella make real

abandoned supermarket - gains (some amount of mult or xmult) when a Joker is destroyed

Kinda based off the Mexia supermarket ||(A supermarket that was so abandoned that the food stayed and rotted away)|| and is meant to synergize with food Jokers

[robust glade]

ball

[winter turtle]

since the updates to steamodded and the game itself, has there been any issues with this mod?

I... don't want to promise that I'll work on it more soon but I would like to

[winter turtle]

I kinda wanna do more here but idk, my mod was honestly a bit stupid

[pallid stone]

I didn't think it was stupid. Not to put pressure on you to create for the sake of us players, but I know I'd be interested if you returned to working on stuff. I really liked your mod, I thought the refreshment cards were a really solid execution on the idea of "quick, temporary, consumable bonuses to your power this ante." And I thought all your jokers were pretty well balanced (except the dud, but that's hilarious).

[void niche]

this is peak
