This is EXTREMELY WIP, and is barely in a playable state, but there's 4 working jokers in the game right now, with a crap-ton more to be coming!

Jokebook is basically an amalgam of the "Give me any topic and I'll make [x]" posts, and now we have the awesome modder @slender escarp and @sudden relic bringing it to fruition!
As of right now, planned content includes (and will increase):

  • 14 Boss Blinds
    • 4 Showdown Bosses
  • 5 Consumables
  • 50 Jokers
  • 3 Vouchers (lvl 1 + 2)
    • 16 Mutually Exclusive Vouchers.
  • 2 Decks

For the (Almost, some things still aren't put in yet) full list, you can check right here!
https://1drv.ms/x/s!AmRv5q0juSKNbA3yTtsW40kKf3g

We could definitely use as much help as we can get, you can suggest topics here and I'll make an idea out of them for the mod, or you can help with spriting pre-existing jokers (We would GREATLY appreciate this!) or you can code in pre-existing jokers as well. You can suggest topics to me or you can suggest a full joker and (As long as it's balanced) it'll most likely get in! You can suggest WHATEVER you want!
(This is more of a HOBBY project as of now, so progress most likely will be slow until we have more people that would wanna help)

The Thief - “Steals” one random card per hand played (Destroys it)

I couldn’t really do money since the tooth and the one that sets money to 0 exists

sudden relic
# slender escarp thief (boss)

“Steals” a joker and applies a negative version of its ability (i.e: jolly joker (M!) would be -8 mult if hand contains a pai

sudden relic
slender escarp

lol

wispy dagger
#

Plus they’re different

#

Actually

#

Yk what ur right

#

The gambler is just a crazy worse version

sudden relic
#

What’s the other one

#

I remember it destroys cards

wispy dagger
#

the gambler - Destroys 1 in 10 played cards

#

The Thief is just hyperbuffed

sudden relic
#

Yeah they’re different enough

#

What about have the robber destroy the rightmost card after the hand is scored

#

Or leftmost

wispy dagger
#

Wouldn’t really change anything as you can just shift the card order thought

sudden relic
#

Also it hurts Photochad

wispy dagger
#

I have an idea actually

#

The Thief - Cannot play [most played hand]

#

Although it’s kinda similar to the Ox

sudden relic
sudden relic
#

Also it would have to be a finisher

slender escarp
wispy dagger
#

Or whatever its called

#

Amber acorn

#

The one where you have to sell a joker, but it’s random instead of being able to choose

#

Becuase what’s the point of having it if it has negative effects, so you’d just sell it

sudden relic
#

Yeah

#

can I have partial credit for the branching tier 2 vouchers in the spreadsheets? A lot of the ideas used are ones I made in my original tier 2 voucher suggestion, even if the current thread isnt mine

#

Speaking of vouchers, heres a fixed mirror voucher sprite

waxen escarp
#

wanted to make some art for the "How it Crumbles" joker

slender escarp
slender escarp
wispy dagger
#

Is it possible that we could use it? Up to you

waxen escarp
#

ofc, go right ahead

wispy dagger
wispy dagger
tame carbon
wispy dagger
tame carbon
#

Yeah I understand

wispy dagger
wispy dagger
#

Anything

tame carbon
#

Uncommon copying-related joker that doesn’t copy a random card called “Rough draft”

#

Actually it doesn’t have to be uncommon

wispy dagger
tame carbon
wispy dagger
wispy dagger
#

becuase rough drafts are disposable and never permanent

tame carbon
#

Ohhh I know

#

Does nothing, becomes blueprint after 5 rounds

#

Maybe?

#

Because rough drafts are reworked into final drafts

wispy dagger
tame carbon
wispy dagger
#

Since you don’t have it once it turns you can get it again

tame carbon
#

15 maybe? BP usually costs 10.

wispy dagger
tame carbon
#

Alright, that’s fair

#

Maybe it just activates itself

#

Like, “After 5 rounds, copy the joker to the left. (X rounds remaining)”

wispy dagger
#

bc 5 is a long ass time for it to be doing nothing lol

#

I have another idea, but it won't work with the name and design

#

Forgetful - Uncommon (Sprite of an old bald jimbo with question marks above his head)

  • 1/4 chance to retrigger a joker whenever said joker is triggered

(Eg. whenever mime triggers to give double gold cards, it has a 1/4 chance of retriggering that instance ONLY. Does not retrigger the joker for every instance if it procs once.)

#

@tame carbon whaddya think?

tame carbon
#

A bit too luck based to be helpful

wispy dagger
tame carbon
#

Any amount of luck in retriggering makes it not viable because it’ll never be consistent

wispy dagger
#

But its an uncommon joker retrigger, people would wanna go for it egg

tame carbon
#

I’d rather not clutter the joker pool…

wispy dagger
#

we can add old blueprint egg

slender escarp
#

topic: Voucher (Voucher)

tame carbon
tame carbon
#

I had an idea for the Permasleep voucher (2B), it should balance the base chips and mult like plasma deck.

#

of course, this occurs before any other scoring

#

Also "The Eye" already exists as a boss blind 😭

tame carbon
#

Also about the Execute + its upgrades, if my math is correct...

The original weighting in joker rarity is 70% common, 25% uncommon, 5% rare.
After using the Execute voucher, it would be 35% common, 54.166% uncommon, 10.83% rare.
After using Guillotine, that becomes 0% common, 83.33% uncommon, 16.67% rare.

If you use Witness that would in theory make rares 21.66~% I think. That isn't much more than 16.67% from Guillotine

TLDR: Buff witness

wispy dagger
#

I completely forgot abt that

wispy dagger
tame carbon
#

Well, it’s two vouchers worth

#

Plus it’ll make it harder to get commons, which you often need

wispy dagger
tame carbon
wispy dagger
#

I like that

tame carbon
#

Just the normal methods

tame carbon
#

Im assuming you already have it

#

Let edge cases give you commons.

#

But shop and packs should not give commins

wispy dagger
tame carbon
#

That’s not what I meant. Riff is a common so it shouldn’t appear. But riff can still give you commons like it normally does

wispy dagger
#

Ohh yeah okay we were gonna do that

#

sorry lol I’m slow sometimes

tame carbon
#

Its fine

wispy dagger
tame carbon
wispy dagger
#

Instead of occurring AFTER scoring it occurs before?

tame carbon
#

Yep, so it only affects the hand types base score

wispy dagger
#

I like that

#

Do you like the effects of the other two voucher lvls btw?

#

also do you think Witness should be buffed to 75%?

wispy dagger
#

@tame carbon ?

tame carbon
#

I’ll check out the other vouchers later today

#

Cant rn

some cards based on how the game awards played out
Triple Threat

  • Retrigger each played 3 three times
    Brothers in Arms
  • x6 Mult if played hand contains more than four suits
    Space Admiral
  • Gives Mult equal to the level of your best poker hand times the number of Steel Cards in your deck.
    Statler & Waldorf
  • x0.05 Mult for every 5000 chips scored by a Two Pair or worse

Look, this is the part where they pivot to High Card!

Has there already been ideas posted for all the Alt Vouchers, or no?...

And are you debating for doing them for either the Betmma or Cryptid Vouchers? 👀

i didn;t know

What do you think abt something like that?

slender escarp
#

-# not everything needs to be a branching voucherrrr

wispy dagger
#
  • it’s more challenge for me
slender escarp
wispy dagger
#

it gives an interesting choice though, it gives synergy with discard jokers or hand jokers

slender escarp
#

-# just in genral that if branches DOES differ to much you will have them in tiers (consistency is not of this mod) ;)

wispy dagger
slender escarp
#

ya

#

but T3 could also exist

#

cuz then we got both branching and a higher tier o-o

#

i can sense a skill tree comming up

but that adds whole new stuff

it was a joke

Also, did you replace the effects of fox with that of speed runner?

slender escarp

If you haven’t, don’t

wha?

wispy dagger

I changed my mind I like fox better

slender escarp

if you changed it already it’s fine

slender escarp
#

i'll change it back

wispy dagger

nah

#

actually

#

You can if you want

#

Make sure it’s scaling

#

@slender escarp sorry actually don’t change it 😭🙏

I’m lowkey dumb fox has ass stats for how hard it is to scale

You guys still taking recommendations? Here's an idea: "Afterburners" joker which gains +2 mult (or whatever you think is most balanced) for every remaining hand after a blind is finished.

#

I may come back with more in the future since I love this game but don't have the coding knowledge to make anything myself lol

wispy dagger

#

I was literally just thinking some pixel art of a jet's afterburners

#

I'll see if I can find a good example

#

This kind of look and perspective

#

but ideally with the colors of this one

#

At least that's what I'm picturing now

#

Not sure how difficult the pixel art would be, as I'm not an artist by any means, so feel free to change if you want

I'm open to suggestions I just don't know what to put

Oh I replaced it cause I thought that was cool but i guess not

#

Oh well, easy to replace though

wispy dagger

#

Oh no worries, forgot about that. Saw some other mods that branched out and had that style on my mind, but that makes sense

wispy dagger
#

I really want to make this as vanilla-like as possible

#

Make it feel like the real game

ember scarab
#

Yeah no good idea

#

I'll change it back and continue working

wispy dagger
ember scarab
#

Could I change the text style or just keep it standard? I'm not good with fonts but maybe a color change to match the fire and/or burning letters

#

Just an idea

tame carbon
#

Example:

tame carbon
ember scarab
#

I would do something like that but unfortunately my pixel art skills are limited to effects and not small details/text lol

#

But I am pretty happy with how it's looking so far

#

+5 arbitrary bonus points to anyone who gets the reference (though it's so few pixels it's pretty hard to recognize)

ember scarab
#

Ok I've gotten to the point where I don't know how to make it look better as I suck at art but It's pretty close to being acceptable I think. Here's the .png and .piskel files if anyone wants a shot at making it look better

#

Would really appreciate it if someone more talented than me could touch it up lol

"Copies the Joker to the right with two-thirds of its effect"

Ex.
Copying Joker -> +2.66 Mult
Copying Burnt Joker -> +0.66 Levels
Copying Bloodstone -> Same chance for X1.66 Mult

I initially thought so, but after checking, it seems the name they went with is "The Swarm". It's also stronger at X9 Mult, but it's still a Flush Five Duolike.

#

Well yeah, but how often are you gonna be able to play a Flush Five?

wispy dagger

Pretty sure they're planning on making it the same for their Secret Hand Jokers (if they haven't already). I know they do it with the ones for the Cryptic Hands.

In my defense, Cryptid is meant to be unbalanced so they probably didn't balance it that well 💀

Whenever a face card with an enhancement is destroyed, apply that enhancement to 2 random cards held in hand.

No sprites today! I’ve been busy with Christmas Eve and stuff
(Merry Christmas guys!!!!)

Couldn't sleep and just thought of some new joker ideas so here you go, merry Christmas:

Common
Blackout: first hand is drawn face down (alternatively, -1 discard), +15 mult
Sleigh Bells: +2 mult per opened booster pack
Prideful Joker: +3 mult per enhancement in deck

Uncommon
Pride Flag (or Roundabout, if you don't wanna get political): x1.5 mult if hand is not straight
Freeway: +5 mult per consecutive straight played (like ride the bus)
Barbershop Quartet (or just Barbershop Joker): 1 in 4 chance to add a copy of played 4 to deck

Rare
Dos: gains 0.2x mult per destroyed card, currently x1 mult
Payday: if played hand is three 7s, gain $3 and add a random enhanced 7 to hand
Take Five: retrigger all cards twice if hand contains five 4s (all meaning played cards and cards left in hand, but not jokers. I'm also open to different ideas but I wanted to reference the song which is in 5/4 time somehow)

By the way, now that my finals are over I'm hoping I have a bit more time to contribute. No promises but I'll try to work on some more sprites for my ideas, and maybe, possibly try to figure out how to make simple new jokers. It would be cool to learn but I'm inexperienced with modding as a whole so we'll see how it goes

Oh noooo

I'd say xchips wre pretty much as vailla as non vanilla u can get

wispy dagger

#

I personally agree with @wispy dagger here but I know I don't have too much of a say lol. I think the reason this mod stands out in the first place is that it's meant to be vanilla-like, and adding too much extra would dilute that idea (at least, IMO)

wispy dagger
#

No xchips

slender escarp
#

They're debating cuz so many mods uses xchips

ember scarab
#

Yeah no i get it, just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents

slender escarp
#

No worries

wispy dagger
#

I’m going to make sprites for jokers, but I’m (hoping) not expecting every single joker to find its place in the game as to not dilute the original game, like you said

slender escarp
#

Code wise i meqn

wispy dagger
#

I think Double Negative that I made on the sheet is like the boundary of what would be considered vanilla. I really liked that idea I made

slender escarp
#

Mean*

ember scarab
wispy dagger
#

Whenever you buy a joker whilst already having that same joker in your inventory, make that joker negative. Destroys itself after.
you need to have space to buy the joker beforehand.

I really like this joker, but it kind of REQUIRES showman, which is bad.

#

It’s a rare btw

ember scarab
#

Oh yeah I do love that idea but you're right, thats a relatively strict requirement

#

But to be fair, so is playing five 4s (for my Take Five idea)

ember scarab
#

And i love that idea too so i know how you feel

wispy dagger
#

id say my biggest gripe with double negative is that it requires showman, like I said, but it would definitely make for interesting runs in the future

ember scarab
#

Yeah... wait hold on a sec i may have an idea to help mitigate that

#

Have to double check something first

ember scarab
#

Ehh i was thinking something with spectral cards, maybe like working with Ankh but thats not ideal as its random and deletes your other jokers. Maybe you could add a voucher that does Showman's job, or alternatively a spectral card that adds a random owned joker to the next shop?

#

Would at least make it possible to use without giving a slot to showman

wispy dagger
ember scarab
#

Yeah i'm just spitballin' here

wispy dagger
#

The spectral sounds interesting, but that would basically just be ankh, right?

ember scarab
#

Yeah thats the thing, i'm not particularly happy with either

#

But i think there's gotta be a way to make it work somehow

wispy dagger
ember scarab
#

I'll try to keep it in mind, if I think of anything better I'll let you know

#

Actually thought of something just now lol, as long as you're open to changing the joker slightly. You could keep the same general idea without needing showman if you change it to read:

Adds a free negative copy of a random owned joker to shop after each blind. Destroys itself once purchased.

Basically just a cooler negative tag

#

@wispy dagger ^^

wispy dagger
#

I don’t think I understand fully bc I’m dumb lol

ember scarab
#

Meaning: every time you reach a shop after winning a blind, one of the initial cards is a free negative copy of a random one of your jokers. If it's not the one you want, you can leave it and after the next blind you get another random one in the shop. Once you find the one you want, you buy it and the Double Negative joker is destroyed

#

So you get one chance per shop to get a copy you like, and as long as you dont take it you can keep rerolling

wispy dagger
#

Ohh

#

I feel like that’s way too op, as it gives you a definitive choice

ember scarab
#

Admittedly a bit complex, but it doesnt require showman

wispy dagger
#

Even though the original DN kinda does too, you risk not seeing your best joker and would settle for a lower one, while with this, you can keep cycling through each shop for a MUCH better chance

ember scarab
#

Though i get your point

#

Idk, it's your idea so it's your say. I just thought of something that gets rid of the showman dependence in case you prefer that

#

Definitely would be a must-buy joker in most cases though, if you can find it

wispy dagger
#

yeah

ember scarab
#

Wait just to check... what dimensions are the joker cards normally? I'm positive when I checked the game assets manually it was 69x93 but I just started watching a tutorial that states they're 71x95. Is that right?

wispy dagger
#

69x93 is EXCLUDING the card border, 71x95 is INCLUDING the card border

ember scarab
#

Is the card border transparent? If its just the (usually) grey 1px border around each card I was including that in the 69x93 measurement

#

I swear I just copied and pasted the stencil joker from the 1x assets and got 69x93 including the gray border, maybe i just done f*ed up though

wispy dagger
#

wait you're right idfk lol

I would like to be able to claim I've actually worked on/helped with a released mod ngl

#

Again I might not be of much help but I'll at least try to give it a shot

slender escarp
#

Then be busy finding that 1 random context or way for 3 weeks

#

And then get told i could've done it easier lol

ember scarab
slender escarp
#

Apes, together, strong

ember scarab
#

Is there any good list of all the contexts/whatever online or otherwise in one place? I know some modding communities do that (for instance, Stellaris modding has lists of hundreds or thousands of different effects/triggers/whatnot)

slender escarp
#

Have a look in the forum

#

Its filled to the brim for sure

ember scarab
#

I'll see if i can find it then

slender escarp

i uploaded the mod with the things i had rn, still needs quite a phew fixes and testings

ember scarab
#

Oh shoot i made the name "dos" as a reference to uno where you play same number (rank) or same color (suit), but i just now realized they actually made that a real game

#

I spent this whole time trying to make a semi-decent joker sprite when i could've literally just looked up "dos card" and resized + added Joker text

ember scarab
#

@slender escarp hopefully having another game's card appear as a joker isn't too "non-vanilla" but if it is, we can just change the name and sprite to fit better. I just used uno as a reference since that's how I got the idea for the joker's function. BTW this sprite is intentionally a little thinner than avg, just because I used the actual card dimensions from an image

ok this one is definitely my favorite by far: Blackout Joker

I would suggest the dos being a little less fusy? If you know what i mean

while inspiration has struck: Placeholder joker, uncommon. 2 effect ideas, choose 1. Idea 1: all scored "letter cards" (A, K, Q, J) become wild cards. Idea 2: wild cards gain one random enhancement bonus when scored (i.e. +30 chips as if bonus, +4 mult as if mult, x2 mult as if glass). Sprite idea: something with lorem ipsum text

#

Or just make them 2 separate jokers, but i can't currently think of a good sprite/naming theme for the 2nd one

Feral - Uncommon

  • Sprite of a feral-looking joker, foam at the mouth, large stubble, etc.

  • All wild cards trigger 0-3 times (chooses randomly)

ember scarab
wispy dagger
#

I’m thinking of adding a lot of jokers that synergize with enhancements, specifically wild cards as they have NO love lmao

#

Taste-Tester - Common

  • Sprite of a stereotypical food critic (maybe Anton Ego)

  • +5 mult for each unique enhancement in played hand.

(Eg. A hand with wild, gold, and glass will receive +15 mult from the joker.)

V2
+4 mult per enhanced card played.

ember scarab
ember scarab
#

Or just think of a new sprite/name for the other idea (x0.2 mult per destroyed card)

#

Uhhh how about this:

#

Kindling joker, sprite: a small flame being lit in the wilderness, presumably with some kindling lol, effect: x0.2 mult per destroyed card

#

As for the original idea, having to do with same rank/suit cards, I'll try and think of something but y'all feel free to give me some ideas too 😂

#

Dos; rare: when five of a kind is played, convert all scored cards into a random scored card

#

How about that, this way it's true to the reference (somewhat) as cards of the same rank become same rank *and * suit (and enhancement etc)

wispy dagger
ember scarab
#

Oh wait I actually like that better

#

Like a death joker

#

Interesting, i like that a lot better actually

wispy dagger
ember scarab
#

I havent had much time to think about it lately but gimme a few and I'm sure I can come up with more 🫡

ember scarab
#

@wispy dagger Most of these are meant to be opposites to certain base-game jokers, in one way or another.

Common: Alien Joker
+10 chips for each planet card used this run

Rare: Skeleton Joker
x1.5 mult. Debuffs Joker to the right, and trigger this Joker 1/2/3/4 times based on the rarity of the debuffed Joker.
(Just an evil blueprint lol)

Common: Rotten Egg, or Deviled Egg depending on which effect you choose below
+3 mult when blind is selected
(If rotten): -3 sell value per round, can go negative
(If deviled): 1 in 10 chance this joker is eaten at end of round

#

Oohh and another one I just thought of

Rare: Pipeline
This joker gains x0.5 mult whenever a Straight Flush is played

#

Would say today's the day but I have (a very late family) Christmas celebration today so I probably can't

slender escarp
ember scarab
#

actually trying to figure out how to make jokers now, anyone know where I can find their definitions in the base game? Game.lua has like half-definitions but doesn't include the calculation functions which is what I wanted to check

#

or honestly if someone's made like a list of the contexts and other variables then that would be cool too

ember scarab
#

nvm found it, just realized that it's all in card.lua, it just looked different than I was expecting

slender escarp

Real

ember scarab
#

I swear to god if I get one more unexpected symbol crash;;

#

Where tf is the unexpected symbol??? Am I blind? I'm literally basing most of my code on pre-existing code, so IDK how there's an issue here and not elsewhere 😭

#

Tried commenting out different bits, removing or changing different parts of my code, but there's always an unexpected symbol somewhere between line 411 and 414

#

Oop caught a typo on 417 (should be G. not G>) but thats not the issue
