Bonne Soirée

The prospect is to have a fully dark mode balatro theme in tandem with this replacement music pack by Vongola https://youtu.be/KiIXRr_GGCw (and before you ask, I've been given permission to turn this into a mod)

I'm currently working on a texture pack to make as many cards darker than before, but some cards have given me trouble (mostly mime, but also any card with more complex art than "joker-on-white-background"). Art help might be needed!

Code is currently private! But it will be public when I feel it's in a good state, or if I'm unable to work on it for too long. yolo i made it public https://github.com/SpiritAxolotl/Bonne-Soiree

I'll share progress on the project here :3

(to make searching for this easier: Bonne Soiree)

example of what someone did with it

#

does that just do a simple color search and replace?

#

ah

#

yea right now I have only done some of the cards so this will come in handy

cursive horizon
#

check the pins in there, there's an easy to use palette editor so you can make the UI dark mode too

loud sable
#

here's my current dark palette with jimbo's card

#

contemplating whether I want to replace the colors inside or just the white bg and other related colors

#

I think all the colours need adjusting if that’s the background

loud sable
#

yea this is most likely what will need to happen

#

I'm gonna have a prerelease of the mod with just the music before I actually start with the cards in the repo

#

but yea this is the prospect

#

Trance theme might be good to do early as well, since I imagine you could get very far with it before working on individual jokers

#

Will this just be overwriting the base game atlas too? Or will it be a texture pack ala Malverk?

loud sable
#

I think texture pack?

#

replacing in-game assets isn't fun because, at least in my experience, it's hard to switch them back without relaunching the game

I'm also waiting on issue #356 to get patched on steammodded

I searched the server for "dark mode" and didn't find anything so no I have not

limber frigate
#

It's just the main playing cards and the title splash

loud sable
#

that's rad actually

#

I like the new neon-like colors of the playing card suits

#

the deck themes need some work though. the shine feels off

limber frigate
#

Figure it'll give you a good place to start nodding

loud sable
#

I'll see if I can contact the user and see if I can use some of their files

#

if not, I'll just use it as inspiration

#

but damn they really got the playing card suits spot-on

limber frigate
#

Big thanks for linking the alternate BGM. I was sick of Balatro's main music right away; it sounds too much like Risk of Rain laughdog

loud sable
#

LMAO??

#

yea no I really like the chill vibe of this replacement pack

#

okay code is public now

#

figured I'd let people contribute early if they feel like it

cursive horizon
#

tried a quick Trance theme with ChatGPT
this is far from perfect but it's a start, I guess

#

it doesn't really know what it's doing

loud sable
#

yea cuz it's a library it's unfamiliar with lol

#

but yea I'll take a look at trance later

I was also thinking of making a music framework mod called Bard

#

that let a mod put its custom music into Bard's settings so the user can switch between them if they have multiple music mods installed

#

because right now soiree replaces the default music which is a very band-aid solution right now

#

making a framework mod is hard

#

Cardsauce has a toggle for its OST iirc

#

could probably just yoink that and scale it a bit

loud sable
#

oh shit

#

i love FOSS ❤️

Tbh I can’t wait for this to be done, I love the soundtrack.

loud sable
#

i will be working a ton in my irl job for the next while but i will try to carve out time to work on this 🫡

alpine sable
#

i've been considering making this shit myself so thank you for doing it

#

@loud sable this soundtrack goes fucking hard SOBBING good work lol

i know (i think)

#

Unless that's intentional for some reason?

#

Oh I see, when replacing the music files within the exe, a 0.7 pitch is applied internally by the game? And then when we replace the music via mods it's a 1:1 replacement which we can specify to match the game's default 0.7 pitch?

loud sable
#

intentional cuz- yeah

#

or wait what

#

no the audio files are at the same speed as balatro's original music files

#

so they need to be slowed down the same amount

blissful ibex
#

good to know lol

remote perch
#

the new music is so good, it matches the vibe of the original and is equally as endlessly replayable hats of to you

#

the results arent incredible... but not bad either

#

the vouchers... ever so tasteful. just a tiny bit of shine for texture.

#

the cards are just... all shine lol
