[WIP] FATEMAKER - A Destiny 2 Inspired Mod

[red axle]

I have so many damn ideas for weapon perk consumables

[keen widget]

consumables are hella easy honestly, the difficult part is just trting to work out all the different contexts and different states the card is in

[keen widget]

Okay so I've already made progress

now I Just need to like lock tf in and fix whatever the fuck just happened to the slots lmao

[keen widget]

I GOT IT YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE

now i just need to fix crystal ball compatability

mf just takes up your entire consumable space

[slate ravine]

It removes 2 slots?

[keen widget]

that's the issue im trying to work out, logically there should be no way it's doing that

I've got slots as a value of 1 and taking that away from the card limit

[keen widget]

I dont understand why its removing 2 slotssssss

the maths doesnt make sense

SMODS.Consumable {
    key = 'HSynth',
    set = 'Tarot',
    atlast = 'Sith',
    pos = {x = 2, y = 0},
    config = { card_limit = 3 },
    object_type = "Consumable",
    loc_txt = {
        name = 'Heavy Synth',
        text = {'Test'}
    },
    can_use = function(self, card, area)
        return true
    end,
calculate = function(self, card, context)
    if context.buying_card then
            G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit - 1
        end
        return true
    end,
use = function(self, card, area)
    G.consumeables.config.card_limit = G.consumeables.config.card_limit + 2
    return true
end,
}```

like

where tf is the -2

WHERE

LUA PLEASE

(btw im just using my sith card table atm because i wanna like make sure things work before I Fatemakerify them)

oh it's running the calc twice huh

Fireteam I'm the goat I fixed it!!

i fixed it and then my internet died

[red axle]

Hmmm

[keen widget]

that looks so cool

is there any chance you could so something like for the heavy ammo and raid banner icons for me?

[red axle]

Depends if I can find those icons in the D2 ripper tool

[keen widget]

Praying

i swear this game has the most confusing bugs

so for some reason now when I play a hand every unplayed card in my hand is deleted

is context.in_round a thing?

this is my final hurdle for this card, and its probably really simple and im just dumb

[red axle]

Woo

[keen widget]

yoooo

cant wait to hit the BnS Recon damage combo on a boss blind

[keen widget]

I'm going to cry

I swear

I am so dumb

                return G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND```

this

this is the entire code I needed

I have spent several hours crashing out when I needed TWO lines

[red axle]

What does this do now

[keen widget]

it's just a check that you're like in a blind and making sure you're not in a shop because i have the hand reset on the round update

so now it resets you back to the hands you had prior to using the card

@red axle@slate ravine
Introducing the fruits of my labour (and many crash outs)

[red axle]

Yoooo FUCK YEAH

[keen widget]

do you want me to send you the code without the set or atlas put in?

I assume you'd wanna put them in custom sets and have actual good art XD

[red axle]

Is that going to be for Fatemaker or for your own mod

[keen widget]

I'm doing these for fatemaker!

[red axle]

Ooooh

Hmmm

I think just the code is plenty

[keen widget]

wdym?

[red axle]

You said you want me to send me the code didn't you

[keen widget]

I said do you want me to send it with blank atlas and set so you can put your own things in

[red axle]

Yeah sure

[keen widget]

lemme just check to make sure it didnt suddenly explode and then I will send!

[red axle]

Check this shit

[keen widget]

those are so cool

clown cart is defo random hand size increase

[red axle]

Nearly

Our design doc is here
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10qzwvORXhdrM6JxqhodNzCyUiV6Le9K0HBTMRCnRt-Y/edit?tab=t.0

[keen widget]

oh that's a good idea

[keen widget]

technically increasing handsize does this already

Looking at my code I REALLY need to work on my syntax and formatting, all of my code is so wildly different because of how many changes and alterations I end up doing so I apologise if everything is very spaghetti

Both are stored neatly in here I added some annotations so you can know where to change stuff if needed

and once again I will apologise for messy coding, it's been so many years since I've sat down and done anything like this so im still getting back into the groove

[red axle]

No need to keep apologizing mate

You did well enough

[keen widget]

apologising is what i do best

guys i had a 5head idea when the mod is like really polished we make a video and get MOTW

oh yeah i was alao crashing out trying to work out smth that i had previously worked out in the raid banner logic so i am just stupid²

[slate ravine]

Life events have been postponed by a day so I'm going to learn custom decks!

[keen widget]

[keen widget]

Hive rune deck thats very tarot focused

Hive Rune consumables

[slate ravine]

This might actually be easier than jokers, ty Vanilla Remade x3

Oh no i have to actually get on D2 to see the subclass quotes

[keen widget]

nooooo

this is tragic

we should add each other on D2 even though i rarely play atm

[slate ravine]

(Ignore the description, i just copy and pasted it from another custom deck) :3

To make it less overwhelming I gave the cards a chance to spawn unenhanced

[keen widget]

it looks like a patchwork blanket

[slate ravine]

It looks a lil better now

[keen widget]

the patchwork blanket was a cool thing though,,,

[slate ravine]

Yea but it was kinda broken...

[keen widget]

hmm true true

cool design nonetheless!!

[slate ravine]

All but the aces are randomized each run :3

[keen widget]

The Ace of gays

[slate ravine]

:3

Thoughts on the deck descriptions?
-# ||(tbh i don't 100% like the ones i have for Void and Strand)||

[keen widget]

i fw them!!

[red axle]

I could think of something for each of those decks

• Solar: You wield the duality of the life-giving fire of our Sun; to scorch and to heal, to burn and to cauterize.
• Void: You ventured to the deepest depths of the Void and asked a question; the answer is clear as you bend gravity to your will.
• Arc: You leave a bold statement in your wake; a spark of chaos shining in just an arm's reach.
• Stasis: The coldest reaches of your mind; you are steeled against the temptations of the Dark, unwavering.
• Strand: The minds of every iota of being sing to you; and you will wield it so, with it weaving and dancing through your fingers.
• Resonance: You wear a commanding presence like a cloak; will you lead nations or emerge a tyrant? You will bring about unbound subjugation and domination for all to witness.
• Prismatic: You have braved the temptations of the Dark and the chaos of the Light; your devotion, your bravery, your sacrifice have been made known by gods of the Sky and the Deep.

[slate ravine]

I'll check to see if those will fit in the boxes lmao

FINALLY I FIXED BLINDED

[red axle]

WOOO

[slate ravine]

That was way harder than it needed to be lmao

[slate ravine]

Most are good, but Resonance and Prismatic are too long to fit, as either you can't read them too well or the sentences get cut off

[red axle]

Oh shit they get cut off?

Hang on

[slate ravine]

I only get 5 lines before they do

and 6 words per line is the rule of thumb before they become unreadable

[red axle]

• Resonance: You wear a commanding presence like a cloak; you will bring about unbound subjugation and domination for all to witness.

• Prismatic: You have braved the temptations of the Dark and the chaos of the Light; your greatness have been made known by gods of the Sky and the Deep.

How about now

[slate ravine]

The first one should but the second i'll have to check to be sure

[red axle]

Oh yeah Violet
Have you started work on Stasis yet
If not I can take over all the Stasis Fragments, and maybe you can start with Strand/Resonance ones

[slate ravine]

I wouldn't know how to do any of the stasis ones except like two, i can definitely do most of the strand and resonance ones but once im done with the decks i gtg for a bit

[red axle]

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

Good?

[red axle]

Perfect

[slate ravine]

Ill work on the strand ones when i get back, bai for now!

[red axle]

Alright, see ya around

[red axle]

Reworked some of the Stasis fragments

[slate ravine]

Nice!!

[slate ravine]

Heeeeyyyyyy so have you messed with unraveled cards... at all?

[red axle]

In what way

[slate ravine]

Just like scoring them

[red axle]

Oh nah, haven't made anything that worked with them since I made Needlestorm

[slate ravine]

Ah, well they kinda work, but they don't destroy themself, they always trigger, and they trigger in hand

[coral hare]

Is this out yet?

Or can I at least have a beta version?

[red axle]

Still a massive WIP, some features aren't complete yet, but you can have the pre-release version here
But beware that there are unfixed bugs in here
https://github.com/jitJet/Fatemaker/releases/tag/v0.1.1-alpha

[coral hare]

I don't care about bugs lol

I have 6k Jokers

231 Mods

I'm used to it

Thanks

[slate ravine]

Caffine, music and no more distractions, ill finish strand (except for one) and maybe resonance, too

[red axle]

Finished implementing all Stasis cards woo

[slate ravine]

Nice!

I may need a lil help with thread of Evolution...

[red axle]

Hmmm

[slate ravine]

Its just the "Created" part that's a little tricky to me

[red axle]

Did you make a lot of progress with Thread of Evolution, because I can think of easier ideas to implement

[slate ravine]

It isn't too hard to impliment apart from that word

But no bc i go in order of the sentence

[red axle]

My idea for Thread of Evolution is that instead of granting 1 Thread per hand played for Unravel cards, it grants 2

[slate ravine]

Only issue: unravel is fucked rn

like it doesn't work at all

[red axle]

guh

Oh god

[slate ravine]

The card always breaks and it can trigger in hand

the card doesn't get destroyed after "breaking"

Well, actually it isnt totally, just half of it is

bc it still gains a thread each hand played

and it levels up the 3 least highest ranked cards

[red axle]

What do you mean by half of it

[slate ravine]

It works aside from the issues i mentioned

But they aren't small issues

[red axle]

It didn't instantly break for me

Hang on

[slate ravine]

Okay idk what was going on with mine, it wasn't working in the slightest for some reason before but now im testing it and it's working again?

[red axle]

Maybe you got super unlucky and kept hitting that 1 in 4 chance

[slate ravine]

Idk, but at least it's fixed now

[red axle]

Anywho, I can take over making Thread of Evolution

[slate ravine]

Alr then, ill skip to the next one

[red axle]

Also, do you mind if I rework some of the Resonance fragments in the design doc
I really wanna play into the sacrificion part more

[slate ravine]

Also I did fury, transmutation and rebirth

[slate ravine]

Again: it's your mod, you have final say

[red axle]

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

Question: are unraveled cards supposed to destroy themselves or no?

[red axle]

They are

"Broken" is just a different way to say destroyed

[slate ravine]

that is something they don't do as of rn

[red axle]

It's a chance that they'll be destroyed

Unravel cards are a gamble, having you build up as many Threads as possible before that 1 in 4 chance hits
And when it does, it will rank up those smallest 3 cards and then it gets destroyed

[slate ravine]

I get the concept, im saying that when they trigger they just don't destroy themselves

[red axle]

Guh

Man it's just inconsistent isn't it

[slate ravine]

I WAS RIGHT ABT THEM TRIGGERING IN HAND TOO, I WASN'T GOING INSANE

wait

yea it's my game breaking

[red axle]

Trigger in hand as in trigger when it's played, or when triggering when it's in the holding hand

[slate ravine]

holding, but i think my game just breaks often for no reason

because i fixed it

then it unfixed itself

without me touching it

[red axle]

Good god

[slate ravine]

Solved it: reloading the game with the "m" key breaks things

sorry abt that

[keen widget]

summer is truly here im dying

[slate ravine]

And with that all strand ones are done on my end

[keen widget]

[slate ravine]

How hot does it get there?

[keen widget]

its only 24c here but the humidity is rly high today so its just uncomfy heat

feels like im swimming

i also live slightly high altitude so the air pressure doesn't help x3

[slate ravine]

Respectfully: that is a cool breeze where i live

[keen widget]

respectfully the UK is built dif

ive had aussie friends end holidays early during heatwaves here because of how uncomfortable it is

[slate ravine]

humid heat hits worse ig

[keen widget]

its like swimming through moist air

and breathing makes you heat up

and our houses are built like ovens for the winter

so we just like

[slate ravine]

Awh

[keen widget]

that + no AC readily available for consumers

you have to spend fuck loads to get a company to import and install

[slate ravine]

@red axle when u wake up if you'll let me know what resonance fragments have been reworked then I'll work on them, until then onto the facets

[slate ravine]

Thas stupid tbh

[keen widget]

well its because summer used to be quite pleasant here a fan could keep you cool n shit, but global warming has just made it really humid and warmer

before that we just had arctic winters so our houses were built for that

so when AC became like a thing we never adopted it because we never needed it until like 10-15 years ago

[slate ravine]

Ah

[keen widget]

UK lore

[red axle]

Gotcha
I'm wondering if we should do anything special for Prismatic fragments because it's thematically important and more powerful than individual elements

[slate ravine]

It's also about blurring the lines between light and dark so I feel we should with some of them

I vote mainly for dominance and justice, as those just feel like void fragments

[red axle]

Which brings me to my next point
The Loadout system
I've been wanting to do something with them but not sure

[slate ravine]

I thought we could do smth where you can select any 5 fragments and any 1 super in it, and be able to change it at any time like the actual game but that'd be rly hard to learn, I feel

[red axle]

Tampering with UI is a whole another skill

[slate ravine]

If we finish every joker, consumable, blind and anything else that is currently even remotely planned and I still have time I'll try to learn it

[red axle]

I have way too many ideas for consumables, jokers and enhancements

We're gonna be here for a while

[slate ravine]

Is fine, I have almost 3 months to work on this

[slate ravine]

I'll hold off on prismatic jokers until those are reworked, too, but what until then?

[red axle]

The weapon perk consumables and the exotic jokers, those are up next

After that, potentially some rebalancing and the fourth subclass enhancements for every subclass except for Stasis

I'll handle that

Void gets Suppress, Solar gets Cure, Arc gets Bolt Charge, Stasis already has Stasis Crystal, Strand gets Suspended and Resonance gets Rooted

[slate ravine]

Woah, you weren't kidding abt how much there was, I should get started

[red axle]

I'll handle weapon exotics, you can do armor exotics

Actually

I'll delegate you to work on any exotic as we go
There are some exotics I wanna give custom effects to

You know Witness’s Shatter
That one gives a custom sticker called Catatonic
So I wanna do that level of custom mechanics

[slate ravine]

Aaahh

You can just give me a list to work on and ill go from that

Anyway i need something to do before i pass out so consumables it is

[red axle]

Look back to the design doc
You can start working on the ones where I've crossed out the names
The crossed out names mean that I have finished making the sprite for it

[slate ravine]

Got it

[red axle]

You should get some sleep real soon mate
I've seen you stay up ever since my morning till evening

[slate ravine]

I havent slept at all yet :3

I only sleep when i physically cant move anymore, but look at me! Still moving!

[red axle]

Jesus christ

[slate ravine]

Dw abt me tho lol

[red axle]

Just get some sleep whenever you can
Our project is not something worth losing sleep over

[slate ravine]

I would have lost sleep either way, it;s better to work on something than nothing, hence why i said dw abt me :3

[red axle]

Hey, one thing about Echo of Instability @slate ravine
How did you know it worked for you when the card description didn't determine what hand it needed to turn a card Volatile

Or did you mean that it worked in only granting the leftmost card Volatile but not the hand type criteria

[slate ravine]

I rigged the hand when testing the rest of the functionality, then made sure the random hand generator worked using a print, then i stitched the two together

[red axle]

I see I see

[slate ravine]

One of the few times this week ive been smart :3

Maybe i should wait for Rylee to wake up, she knows more abt consumables, but for now ill just add them to the tarot card list

[red axle]

Gotcha

Hang on there's an easy fix to this

This is how I make new consumable types, these categories that hold planet, tarot and spectral cards
I can make one for weapon perks

So whenever you make a new consumable, just change the set to the key of this new weapon perk consumable type
Here is an example with raid elements and a consumable from the Garden of Salvation blind

Now the question is

What should we name the consumable type
I don't know about "Weapon Perk" because we're not using any weapons

[slate ravine]

apparently in game their official names are "traits"

[red axle]

Excellent

So when you use SMODS.Consumable, put set = "traits" then

Hang on I'll make the consumable type rn, I'll send it to you later, you need this to work

[slate ravine]

When you send it to me ill update all of them, but ill use tarots until then to be able to work

[red axle]

Alright

Ok done

SMODS.ConsumableType ({
    key = "traits",
    primary_colour = HEX('96cbf9'),
    secondary_colour = HEX('7cb3e3'),
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Trait",
        collection = "Traits",
        undiscovered = {
            name = "Undiscovered",
            text = {
                "Banshee-44 sends his",
                "regards, Guardian."
            }
        }
    },
    shop_rate = 1
})

Just paste this at the top of overrides.lua

[slate ravine]

Clown Cartridge works :3

[slate ravine]

Oki

[red axle]

I'll be making a new file called consumables.lua to put all the consumables there so it won't clog up other files

[slate ravine]

I already did x3

same for the decks

[red axle]

Sweet

Did you check if it's the exact same spelling

And remember to put assert(SMODS.load_file("data/consumables.lua"))() in Fatemaker.lua too

Aaaand can you send the Clown Cartridge code over I wanna try it out

[slate ravine]

I put a reminder for you to do that lmao

[slate ravine]

I just wanted to see something and apparently it worked, so i ran with it

It'll have the high priestess skin btw

[red axle]

I changed it

[slate ravine]

nice :3

[red axle]

Oh yeah you forgot atlas = 'Consumables' in your code
Remember to add that for all of your consumables so I don't have to manually add this for every single consumable there is

That's why it was using the high priestess skin

[slate ravine]

oooohhhhhh

[slate ravine]

Question: how are you getting the made-up icons done quicker than the real ones?

[red axle]

Simpler designs

[slate ravine]

Ah, fair

grrrrrr this card isn't debuffing itself

[slate ravine]

Im going to comment it out each time bc that's the only way the cards don't appear invisible

You should be able to just ctrl + h the comments out, tho

[red axle]

I yoinked an artist for our cause

Also fixing Shadowshot is killing me god DAMN

[normal hemlock]

Fixing how?

[slate ravine]

Oh?

[normal hemlock]

That would be me! 😊

[slate ravine]

Haii and welcome in!

[red axle]

Looking for some redesigns on some cards

Do you work in Aseprite

[normal hemlock]

Of course of course

[red axle]

I can send over the Aseprite files

Hang on

[normal hemlock]

Not atm, honestly all my work has been in GIMP so far

[red axle]

Ah I see

[normal hemlock]

But I’m sure I could get used to a new program

[red axle]

I've never used GIMP but can it load a PNG and be pixel-perfect for pixel art like Aseprite does

[normal hemlock]

Yup

[red axle]

Swag

[normal hemlock]

With multiple versions of size-alteration pixel modifying

Is the mod on nexus?

[red axle]

Here are the x1 and x2 versions of the Joker spritesheet respectively

[normal hemlock]

Ah perfect

[red axle]

Nope not yet, but it's on GitHub, lemme find the link

[normal hemlock]

Ooo I like the use of the crafting alloys for Resonance

[red axle]

https://github.com/jitJet/Fatemaker
The main source code
https://github.com/jitJet/Fatemaker/releases/tag/v0.1.1-alpha
And the latest pre-release

[red axle]

Ayy thanks :D

So first off, I'm looking for new designs for these Jokers

Winter's Wrath, Glacial Quake, Witness's Shatter, Transcendence and also looking for a new design to represent the Resonance subclass

[normal hemlock]

Gotcha

[red axle]

Because... that's actually the Black Armory logo

[normal hemlock]

Are the base subclass jokers just blank with the logo?

(Man autocorrect screwed me, I don’t even know what that word was lmao)

[red axle]

Nah, those are actually soul sprites for this fellow here
Those subclass icons float on this like legendary jokers

[normal hemlock]

Aaaaaaaaah

That’s sick

[red axle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1209506360987877408/1348874402523250731/Balatro_-_2025-03-11_12-23-41.mp4?ex=684cf9ae&is=684ba82e&hm=5b8d0996dc6c378077eafa512b7e9067a34092fc1f4be95f91f2e34722d7f44b&
Here it is in action

[normal hemlock]

Do you have an in game example so I can see how the lighting looks?

Ah perfect

Hmmm

If I’m honest, it’s a little busy

Love the design!

[red axle]

This card itself?

[normal hemlock]

More like the negative space on the icon bleeding through and showing the card base beneath

Like the open parts of the void swirl

[red axle]

I see

Hang on lemme screenshot the other subclasses to give you a better look at that card

[normal hemlock]

Iiiinteresting

In might try a tweak here and there if that’s ok, just to see what happens

[red axle]

No worries, do what you gotta do

[normal hemlock]

But yeah, I’ll take a look at these

One thing I will say, the base for those would make a kickass deck design

[red axle]

:D

[slate ravine]

Vivisection done

[red axle]

WOOO

I saw you toiled in modding dev for the past hour

[slate ravine]

Its been an hour already? it's felt like 10 minutes...

Yk what, fuck waiting for it to happen, im sleeping now bc at this rate hours will pass in seconds

Want the code for it before i go for a bit?

[red axle]

Sure

[normal hemlock]

@red axle How would one get one of the element jokers? I have a sprite I want to test to see in game

[slate ravine]

BAIT AND SWITCH IS DONE

[slate ravine]

Box breathing down

[red axle]

You can install the Debug mod to instantly give you the Joker you want

Here
#1228149931257237664 message

[slate ravine]

And kinetic Tremors is done :3

[red axle]

Ayyy banger

[slate ravine]

Im going to finish up destabilizing then move onto another category so that i don't start to burn out from monotony

[red axle]

Gotcha

[normal hemlock]

So are yall just making EVERY perk lol?

[slate ravine]

Well, not every perk but it's up to Jit as to how many are made

Here's the doc with all current planned perks https://docs.google.com/document/d/10qzwvORXhdrM6JxqhodNzCyUiV6Le9K0HBTMRCnRt-Y/edit?usp=sharing

[normal hemlock]

Im surprised youre able to come up with enough effects for all of these to have

[slate ravine]

I am too, tbh

[normal hemlock]

Do you have any plans for origin traits?

Those are a weird obsession of mine

[slate ravine]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not from what ive seen, but we may be able to come up with some more after we're done with everything that was already planned, as we still have a lot to do

[normal hemlock]

For sure for sure

I may make some art in the style of the traits youve already done

[slate ravine]

Any fully crossed out ones are done

I tried to discard cards using remove_from_highlighted holy fuck I'm dumb

[normal hemlock]

So you said you needed a new Meditation symbol for resonance right?

Should I keep the same tone of yellow for it?

Alright, I did some tweaking on the Meditation symbols to add some distinction to the icons, plus making them a full solid icon and not what I assume was a resides png? If thats alright

[slate ravine]

Jit's offline rn lol

[red axle]

Sorry I'm uh in the middle of nowhere atm

[red axle]

That's all right

[slate ravine]

Oooo, nature!

[red axle]

You can tune the tone of yellow for the Resonance symbol if you want, but make it distinct from Solar

[normal hemlock]

Also made a new resonance icon based off of Vow

[normal hemlock]

Naah it turned out alright

[red axle]

Hmmmm

[normal hemlock]

Too much?

[red axle]

The Resonance symbol feel tad bit overdesigned for a subclass icon yeah

[normal hemlock]

Fair enough

[red axle]

Slim down on small details

[normal hemlock]

I shall tweak it

[red axle]

We do but they're treated like regular weapon traits

I drew up concepts for Souldrinker and Ambush

[normal hemlock]

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

You did? Ill work on them once i figure out blinded compatibility for the other consumables

[red axle]

Well, only written descriptions in the design docs, not the sprites

[slate ravine]

oohh

[normal hemlock]

Is this any better, or still too much?

[red axle]

Hang on the jungle doesn't have much signal
Takes a bit to load

[normal hemlock]

Man's exploring Venus while in the chat lol

[red axle]

Ehhh still a bit overdesigned
Focus on separate simple shapes rather than having one big shape and carve details into it

Hang on a second lemme find some references

[normal hemlock]

Hm

Its tricky, since all main Resonance adjacent symbols are in this stile of triangle with lines cut out

Ill see if I can find something

I guess I could do something based off of part of the emblem from vow, but it would look kinda just like the Black Armory one

Or maybe something based off of this?

[red axle]

Found this

[normal hemlock]

I could try that, but wont it look similarly cut out with lines like the earlier ones?

[red axle]

It's a really nice minimalistic take on a Darkness Splinter but I don't wanna copy their design

[red axle]

You can give it a shot again but avoid using thin lines/ negative spaces

Frame of reference is the gaps between the two separate shapes in the Solar icon

Or the gap between the two shapes of the Stasis icon

[normal hemlock]

Those are VERY different sizes lol

But Ill give it a shot

[red axle]

I was remembering off of the top of my head lmao

But yeah frame of reference is the Solar icon then

[normal hemlock]

Hmm

Ill see what I can adapt from that

It wont really look like it, but I'll do my best

[red axle]

Do what you do best

[normal hemlock]

Alright, this is about the closest I could get with that line spacing

[red axle]

Alright that is SICK

[normal hemlock]

Fair enough lol

As long as you like it, Im happy 🙂

Do you need me to send over the joker png file?

[red axle]

Sure thing

[normal hemlock]

just x1, or both?

[red axle]

Both X1 and X2 sizes

[red axle]

Actually I'll have to sleep on it to see how I really feel about the icon for Resonance
I am very tired from exploring Venus

[normal hemlock]

Fair enough 👍

[slate ravine]

"Oh gee i sure hope this hive titan lightbearer doesn't have anything up it's sleeve to make the fight harder-"

The ever-humble grenade:

[red axle]

Lmaooo

[normal hemlock]

Also, are fragments actually functionally in the mod yet, or just the sprites?

[red axle]

Nearly all of them are functional rn but they're not released yet

[normal hemlock]

Ah gotcha

[red axle]

Still gotta do the Resonance fragments and some leftover Strand fragments

Oh yeah Spyman
How well can you draw exotic armour and weapons

[normal hemlock]

I havent tried yet personally

But ive thought about it

[red axle]

We're planning on doing Exotic Jokers

[normal hemlock]

That would be cool

[red axle]

I've actually written a pixel shader in Blender to streamline the spriting process for exotics and other stuff but
I don't know it just feels off

[normal hemlock]

Hm

That style might be a liitle beyond my current skill level lol

[red axle]

Speaking of which

Maybe you can draw up some deck skins

Violet has made different decks for each individual subclass

[slate ravine]

:3

[red axle]

You got a bunch of stuff to choose from to do

• The super redesigns I mentioned last night
• Deck skins
• Trying your hand at some exotics

[normal hemlock]

What other types would you want?

[slate ravine]

I wonder: should the decks start with anything or...?

like any jokers or anything

[red axle]

Hmmm

I wonder if it's possible to code it so that subclass specific enhancements and Jokers appear more often

You know that one voucher that lets the shop sell playing cards

Maybe make the decks have that by default

[slate ravine]

I'll look to see what i can do

Maybe start every deck with Illusion and Magic Trick?

[red axle]

What do those do again

I've spent more time making Fatemaker than actually playing Balatro lmao

[normal hemlock]

The voucher(s) you were talking about

[red axle]

Oh that

Sure thing

[red axle]

Oh I forgot their names lmao

Yeah sure go ahead, slap those two vouchers in

[normal hemlock]

In unrelated news, I finally figured out how to add a mod icon lol

[red axle]

Ayyyy sweet

[slate ravine]

Nice!

[red axle]

I should make one for Fatemaker

[normal hemlock]

It was surprisingly easy to add

Just need to add this code to the main .lua

SMODS.Atlas({ key = "modicon", path = "icon.png", px = 32, py = 32 })

Obv in this example the icon is called "icon.png" and is 32 px X 32 px

But those dont have to be the sizes for it

[slate ravine]

Turns out i might not be able to do most of the exotic armors bc they interact with supers activating and cards charges (ember of char was a hell i don't want to relive)

[red axle]

Drew up a mod icon for Fatemaker

[slate ravine]

Nice!

[red axle]

Added a new feature to Woven Mail

[slate ravine]

Oooo, neat!

Im making Ace of Spades rn :3

[red axle]

Oh sick

[red axle]

Starting work on spriting the new Enhancement cards; Suppress, Cure, Bolt Charge, Suspend and Rooted
This is Suppress

Is it better if it's darker like this

[slate ravine]

It's a bit more clear with this imo

Ace of Spades is fun :3

[red axle]

Christ there's gotta be a better way to do this

What is it supposed to do again

[slate ravine]

Oh 100%, but i don't know it and it should be almost done this way soooo

[slate ravine]

Every time you play 3 or more cards, draw a card and give it polychrome; If a played hand only has scoring cards of one Subclass, give the highest and lowest cards in hand a random buff from said Subclass

This is just code for the second part of that

The first part was honestly child's play

[slate ravine]

Update: this part is the part that works

not the one that took 5 lines of code, this one

They now both work :3

[red axle]

Suppress, Cure and Bolt Charge

[red axle]

@normal hemlock Hey hey I have a wicked idea
Can I adopt your subclass suit skins for a custom deck where all your default suits are replaced with each subclass element
Void, Solar, Arc, Stasis, Strand, Resonance

[red axle]

A different design for the Cure card

[red axle]

I'm genuinely stuck on how I should design the Suspend card

[normal hemlock]

Sure thing! If you want, after I get home from work, I can whip up the arc and resonance decks pretty quick for you

[red axle]

Sure can do

Also I've slept on the Resonance icon but
Ehh it's still not really suitable, still too detailed with the ridges, sorry for makin you concept an icon over and over
But I have drafted something up

Which one works better

[normal hemlock]

Hmmmm

Well, I personally feel like residence has to include the witness line language in it somewhere, it’s part of the whole vibe

This ones my pick

[red axle]

Alrighty then hang on lemme see if I can expand on ir

[normal hemlock]

Or maybe this one, since it’s kind of like a crux?

[red axle]

Alternative designs

[normal hemlock]

I’d say any of the left half are my go to design

[red axle]

My top picks are the third one from the first row and the first one from the second row

[normal hemlock]

Works for me 👍🏻

[red axle]

Man I genuinely cannot decide between those two

[normal hemlock]

Make both and see how they turn out?

[red axle]

I'll do it tomorrow morning, it's getting late

[slate ravine]

Oh, i see now, you're moving everything from the official doc to the suggestion one lol

[slate ravine]

Graviton Lance, in it's current state, is heavily broken, anyone have any ideas to balance it?

[slate ravine]

"Every even numbered hand has base chips and mult doubled; every scored hand grant 2 random cards in hand Devour, and then grant all non-void buffed cards in hand next to Devour cards Volatile" is the current implimentation

[red axle]

Hmmm

Going with the two burst thing and how it creates nice explosions
How about

"Volatile cards retrigger but the retrigger will only grant half the Mult bonus. Said halved Mult bonus is spread to each Volatile card remaining in hand"

[slate ravine]

Oooooooo, that's good

I wouldn't know how to do the first part of that but i could try to figure it out

[red axle]

I wonder if we can instance the retrigger to be different from other sources of retriggers, like fragments or red seals or future content

[slate ravine]

I wasn't told how, but apparently there is

[normal hemlock]

Alright, Ive got the Arc and Resonance suit cards done!

[red axle]

Oh DAMN they look absolutely swell

[normal hemlock]

Here's the x1 and x2's

Though obv if you redesign the resonance symbol, I'll change it lol

[red axle]

Gotcha gotcha

[normal hemlock]

I also have a single friends of Jimbo reskin complete so far, for Void characters

If you wanted, you could just replace the face cards in the base card file to this

Oh I also made suit +Mult Jokers for all of these

[red axle]

OOO these are SICK

Actually, can you isolate the Stasis and Strand icons for me
I'm making subclass booster packs and they have repeating patterns of their subclass icons

[normal hemlock]

Can do

Wait, do you just want all 6?

[red axle]

Nah just Strand and Stasis for now
Void, Solar and Arc are all done, and I haven't settled on a concrete design for Resonance yet

[normal hemlock]

Fair enough

x1 or x2?

Eh I'll just give both

[slate ravine]

Would it be okay if i changed this to:

"Volatile cards retrigger but the retrigger halves the Mult bonus, each Volatile card in hand gains the amount that was removed."?

[red axle]

Cheers mate

[red axle]

Sure

[slate ravine]

Yay! (ik how to do that one)

I just realized since volatile cards destroy on play it's irrelevant which way the code is bc, as long as the mult is halved before the retrigger, it's irrelevant which way it's done

[red axle]

There we go, the new enhancements
Suppress, Cure, Bolt Charge, Suspend and Rooted

[slate ravine]

Oooooo, nice!

Graviton Lance is also done :3

[slate ravine]

I rly like cure and bolt charge

[red axle]

Ayyy that's SWAG
I'll try to find a sound for Graviton Lance

Oh yeah speaking of which

[red axle]

Honestly this doesn't really fit Ace of Spades, so I'm just gonna rename that to be Microcosm's functionality instead, fits more with the Final Shape theme where you master all your different subclasses
And I could draft up another idea for Ace of Spades when I have the time

Just the name will be changed, the entire functionality is fine

[slate ravine]

Alr!

(also ty for not having me remove all that code, it took some time to write)

[red axle]

Yeah I'm not a monster

[slate ravine]

Renamed it, so when i send it over you should be already ready already

[red axle]

How's this

[slate ravine]

I love it :3

Also im going to mark the ones i know i can do with "(Vi)" at the end of it

[red axle]

Gotcha

[slate ravine]

Are we actually planning on every exotic as a joker? (It's fine if so, but if we are i might suggest separating those jokers into a new file)

[red axle]

Not every exotic

Just a selection of the more popular ones

[slate ravine]

Alr!

Ace of Spades + Still Hunt will be insane omg (unless we make it so you can only have one exotic weapon and armor at a time)

[red axle]

I wanna make it so that you can have as many Exotics as you want but no duplicates

As for Blueprint

[slate ravine]

Fair, and duplicates aren't an issue unless you have showman, blueprint or brainstorm tho

[red axle]

I don't know what to do with Blueprint since I'm worried it might break shit but might lead to very cool plays

[slate ravine]

Sunshot was easier than expected

[red axle]

Oh yeah @slate ravine can you send over the Strand fragments that you have done

[slate ravine]

Wicked Impliment is done

[slate ravine]

Added some suggestions (in the suggestion mode thing), i think i'm going to do Ace of Spades next

[red axle]

Lemme take a look

Oh yeah speaking of which, Violet

[slate ravine]

Yes?

[red axle]

Leave the ones that require chance (like 1 in X chance Jokers) to me because they require more stuff going on to work properly

Like take a look at the Unravel card's code

[slate ravine]

Oh, alr, i thought the way i do it wasn't bad but ill leave them to you

[slate ravine]

My work output today has fallen the fuck off bc of the life events that were supposed to happen days ago, and the next few days will be the same, sorry

[red axle]

No worries, take your time

[slate ravine]

Ace of Spades works

Wait, there are two Rylees here

[red axle]

@normal hemlock Hey we got a new Resonance subclass icon
I asked permission from its original designer to use it and they let me
No point in reinventing the wheel when someone struck gold with its design

[normal hemlock]

Oooooo ok that actually looks amazing

I’ll edit everything tonight

[red axle]

Gotcha, thanks for takin the time

[slate ravine]

Finality's Auger down

Also made navigating the doc easier

[red axle]

Cheers

[keen widget]

there can only be one...

[slate ravine]

Hai Rylee, been a bit

[keen widget]

life too busy :(

[slate ravine]

fair :<

[keen widget]

i am currently petting my kitty at 4am because thats what life is all about

[red axle]

THE GATO

[slate ravine]

Cats are amazing :3

[keen widget]

my next cat will be a Maine Coon whenever i can afford it

[slate ravine]

ooooooo, they can grow beeeeeg

[keen widget]

i wanna name them doctor pepper

[slate ravine]

that's dedication :3

[keen widget]

cats with silly names are awesome

[red axle]

Oh yeah @normal hemlock I got another thing for you to do if that's okay

[normal hemlock]

Oh?

[red axle]

The top row's third sprite is called Catatonic, and it's a special sticker
It's based off of Catatonic Decimation from the Verity encounter from Salvation's Edge
Can you draft up some more concepts for it, I'm not really feeling the current design for Catatonic and I'd like to see how you could go about it
It doesn't have to be a traditional circular sticker like vanilla Balatro has for Jokers, you can go wild, provided that it stays within the bounds of a card

[normal hemlock]

Does it funtion like the Eternal Perishable and Rental stickers, or is it being done like an edition like the rest of the top ones?

[red axle]

It functions like eternal, perishable and rental stickers

[normal hemlock]

Ok gotcha, Ill take a look

[red axle]

But you can also implement custom effects for it just like you would create an edition, enhancement or a seal

[normal hemlock]

I mean tbf, I dont actually know how to do editions lol

[normal hemlock]

@red axle What do we think?

[red axle]

BANGER

Absolutely gorgeous

[normal hemlock]

Ok good lol

I wasnt convinced

Got the new version of the +Mult Jokers

[red axle]

Cinema

[normal hemlock]

And heres the raw icon

[red axle]

Ayyy I was about to ask you lmao
Thanks

[normal hemlock]

Ok question. Since the debug mod wont let me add modded stickers, how does a card become catatonic? So I can test when I get a texture

[red axle]

Get the Witness's Shatter Joker
Score 5 Resonance cards in one hand

[normal hemlock]

👍

I see, so its for playing cards, not jokers

That actually makes it easier

[slate ravine]

Hard Liquorght done

[normal hemlock]

Alright, hows this for a first draft?

For reference

[red axle]

Woaaah that's really damn neat

[normal hemlock]

Ok sick

So do you need to have a card with an elemental enhancement for a super joker to appear, or are those gotten in a specific way?

[red axle]

Super Jokers can be conventionally bought from stores like any normal Joker
But to use it, you need to charge it up by playing elemental enhancements corresponding to that Joker's element

[normal hemlock]

Usage I get

I just havent sen any show up lol

Also, oooooooooooone critique I have atm is that all the element sounds are really loud lol

[red axle]

Yeah some of them are loud and some of them aren't

For some reason changing them here doesn't do anything

[normal hemlock]

Itd probably invonve changing the audio file itself to be quieter

[slate ravine]

Now imagine 5 fully loaded golden guns with how loud it and radiant are...

[normal hemlock]

Lmao

Also, does the loadout section do anything atm?

[slate ravine]

No

[red axle]

Nope, it's just UI practice

[normal hemlock]

I see

Also not sure if this is intended, but none of the super jokers have the other side-upside down other text on the other end of the card

[red axle]

I was lazy

So let's call it intended

[normal hemlock]

Ah lol

[red axle]

So super jokers have the label on the left
Fragment jokers have them on top
And Exotic jokers have them at the bottom

[normal hemlock]

Oooo I love the exotic card

[slate ravine]

I feel the background makes it not look bad tbh

[normal hemlock]

Yeah thats what I meant, I love the layout!

[red axle]

I wrote a pixel shader in Blender to automate the spriting process lmao

[normal hemlock]

Wow lol

[normal hemlock]

Could I have that exotic base perchance?

[red axle]

Hang on

Man one thing I don't like about Aseprite is that you can't crop out a specific segment of your spritesheet to export

[normal hemlock]

Thatll do lol

[normal hemlock]

Very cool design

Mind if I try some manual spriting?

[red axle]

Go ahead

I wanna see how you sprite exotics and see how it compares against one rendered from Blender

[normal hemlock]

Ill give Cuirass a go for a litmus test

Im sure the Blender one will be more technically accurate, but I love the balatro art style lol, so Ill give it a go

[slate ravine]

Question: dungeons as blinds, yay or nay?

[red axle]

Maybe

[normal hemlock]

Ok, here's attempt #1

For reference

[red axle]

Hmm
Could be better
It's a bit lopsided with the perspective
The outline could be darker

[slate ravine]

-# why do they have 112 resiliance

[normal hemlock]

I will tell you, I used an actual resised screenshot for the perspective, so thats a 1-to-1 lol

[red axle]

Ah

[normal hemlock]

And I guess I could do that darker, that grey is the in-game equivalent to black, tho, so I tryed to avoid going darker as much as I could

Obv I did at the bottom, but whatevs

[slate ravine]

What item should i work on next? (from any category)

[red axle]

You can keep working on consumables

[normal hemlock]

Here's a darker outline

[red axle]

Slightly better
But the detailing is a bit wonky in the positionings as well
Like it's not very symmetrical
I know it's in 3/4 view but you get my point

[normal hemlock]

Hm

Is there a different perspective you want? As far as I could tell, thats what you used for the blender shader

I guess the best possible alternative if you like the shaping of the blender render would be taking that, and adding art-based texturing to the shape?

[red axle]

I still do like the 3/4 perspective

[normal hemlock]

So its not noisy pixely mess?

[red axle]

I've been trying to figure out posterization so it's not a billion colours condensed into a pixely mess, and instead acts like a toon shader where the closest colours average out into singular colours

[normal hemlock]

THAT

I cannot help with lol

Well in any case, that took almost an hour, and I have work in the morning, so I shouldve gotten off a while ago

I shall see yall later

[red axle]

Yeah sorry mate

[normal hemlock]

Oh no worries lol

[red axle]

Go rest

[normal hemlock]

[slate ravine]

Somehow Hatchling is my first ever card that worked perfectly first try

[slate ravine]

First bluescreen! :D

[slate ravine]

???

[red axle]

What's this card

[slate ravine]

Ambush

It's supposed to discard all cards in hand then draw the highest value cards in deck

but the sort crashes

[slate ravine]

Ambush works now

[slate ravine]

Frenzy is done

[slate ravine]

im thinking of doing Icefall Mantle next, but i need to edit the code for Shatter a bit for it to work

[red axle]

Yeah
Easiest route is to check if there are any Icefall Mantle Jokers in your hand, and if there are, do that instead of the default destruction mechanic

[slate ravine]

oh, i was going to give the enhancement a boolean that defaults to true that icefall mantle would make false, and then just use remove = [boolean] in the return

[red axle]

Might work

[slate ravine]

It works, but it changes the card's type before scoring so you can tell if a card is going to break that turn or not
(Idk how to fix that)

[slate ravine]

My cat n dog have stolen me so I haven't gotten any more work done nor does it seem like I will get any more work done today

[red axle]

You have done plenty for the past few days

Can you send over the code for your exotics and consumables

[slate ravine]

I only have my phone rn so sadly I can't, when I can I will tho

[red axle]

Ah alright

[slate ravine]

Would you want me to send the decks, too?

[red axle]

Sure thing

[slate ravine]

Grabbing the files naow

the backs, consumables, and the jokers in that order, lmk if u need the strand fragments i did (idr if i already sent them)

[slate ravine]

Oh right i should also send you the fixes for scorch, blind, unravel and shatter

[red axle]

Send em over I'll look into it

[slate ravine]

this should be all of them

nvm, one sec

wait, no that's all of them

discord bundled them weirdly

[slate ravine]

I want to try my hand at making a blind but I know I should leave those to you or someone else with experience lol

[red axle]

Yeah it's very very tough making all of those mechanics

[slate ravine]

Looking at the two fully implemented rn, it seems like it holy shit

900 lines for Corrupted Wish alone

[slate ravine]

I discovered smth cool called "free will", so i spent the last hour turning a dungeon into a blind to quell this urge :3c

It works aside from disabling scoring

[red axle]

What the hell

What dungeon did you make

[slate ravine]

Pit of Heresy, i wanted something easy to do that i knew would be inconsequential if i made it wrong and had to delete it all but something that was also big enough to remove the urge to make a blind

[red axle]

Any mechanics in there?

[slate ravine]

the blind or the dungeon?

[red axle]

The blind you made

Any unique mechanics like how I did the raid blinds?

[slate ravine]

no lol

it can easily be remade + i was planning on deleting it anyway :3

[slate ravine]

im sorry, i knew u were still debating on whether or not to do dungeon blinds and i did it anyway

[slate ravine]

The thought just occurred to me: you should probably be the owner of the doc, jit

[red axle]

@slate ravine
Should I be concerned about this

SMODS.Joker{
    key = "graviton_lance", -- you keep forgetting "remove = true" on cards that are supposed to destroy themselves. You also forgot "context.destroying_card == card" and "context.cardarea == G.play" on the preceding if statement.

[red axle]

Hoo boy

[red axle]

So I tested out your consumables and there are a few problems

• After using Kinetic Tremors, an error pops up saying attempt to call field 'destroy_cards' (a nil value) after winning a blind
• After using Voltshot, an error pops up saying attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'perma_mult' (a nil value)
• After using Bait and Switch, an error pops up saying attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'perma_x_chips' (a nil value)

I think my game is getting fucky as hell
These used to work like two days ago

Alright so apparently I have to sell a consumable in order to use another one

I'm getting tired I gotta head to bed
I hope that closing the game and reopening it tomorrow will somehow fix it

[slate ravine]

That happens at times and idk how to fix it

[red axle]

Damn

[slate ravine]

I just put that there to remind you to add remove = true in the return of abilities like scorch, volatile, unravel, etc

[red axle]

Gotcha

I am unfortunately in bed right now
While you're awake maybe you can ask Eremel or other folks on why sometimes our consumables just straight up not work

[slate ravine]

I'll look through them rn, did you edit their use code at all?

[red axle]

Only the atlas

Other than that nope

[slate ravine]

That's why I specified "use code" lol, it's weird that they don't work, I'll grab my computer and look into them

[red axle]

Have fun
Imma go to bed

[red axle]

Also don't forget these lmao

[slate ravine]

Gn!

[slate ravine]

Those were the ones I was going to look at lol

The only "issue" i found on my end is how the queen of hearts in this clip shows Xnil extra chips when held at the bottom of it's description; I think it's your game acting up more than anything

[slate ravine]

I just noticed the small detail you put in the top middle, it's a rly small thing but it's cool nonetheless

[red axle]

Hmm maybe I haven't updated my steamodded

Go to the main menu, on the top right corner it should show the version number of Steamodded
Screenshot it and I'll look into it later

[red axle]

Yep that does it

Yeah updating Steamodded fixed those issues lmao

God there are so many things added that would have saved me so much time
But I am way too lazy to revamp our code because of how constantly SMODS pushes out updates

[slate ravine]

Fair

[slate ravine]

Ooooo, love the look of both of those!

[red axle]

@slate ravine Ay are you free rn

I need some help finishing up Splinter of Convergence, need ya to figure out where to handle card destruction properly so it won't produce ghost cards
Remove start_dissolve and look into context.destroying_card or something

[slate ravine]

Let me finish carrying my friend in D2 and I'll check it out

[red axle]

Cheers

Ah shit the Stasis Crystal card is also creating ghost cards when destroyed

[slate ravine]

remove = true

[red axle]

Hang on I need to finish my new enhancements

[slate ravine]

alr, im still trying to solve the splinter

[slate ravine]

It. still. isn't. working.

[red axle]

DAMN

[slate ravine]

IT IS ALWAYS THIS. DAMN. CRASH.

FOR AN HOUR NOW

[red axle]

Does remove_card even exist

[slate ravine]

that's the thing, im not calling remove_card

closest thing is return { remove = true }

[red axle]

Dear god

[slate ravine]

@red axle hey so what exactly didnt work about the splinter? Because the removal part worked fine (look at the 10s)

[red axle]

When it was still using start_dissolve it created ghost cards

And I couldn't figure out where to add context.destroying_card

[slate ravine]

it didn't do that for me

[red axle]

Let the Splinter destroy some cards, then go to the next blind
Keep tapping R on the cards to remove them, for me, I can keep going until I draw a ghost card

[slate ravine]

nothing

[red axle]

Huh

[slate ravine]

got no ghosts

[red axle]

It still says /5 when you got 1 card left
Remove that one and see if you instantly lose the game
If you didn't lose, that means there are still ghost cards

[slate ravine]

i lost lol

[red axle]

Guh

[slate ravine]

it was bc i discarded some

[red axle]

I gotta take a look again when I get back to my laptop

[slate ravine]

there was an issue though, let me see if i can get a video

[red axle]

Ogh

Fuck I forgot to undo that joker further when it didn't do that

[slate ravine]

also turns out im an idiot

(ik that part caused the crash now bc i removed it n it no longer crashes)

[slate ravine]

What should i work on now?

[red axle]

Wait did you manage to fix the Splinter

[slate ravine]

no lmao, i wouldn't know where to start

[red axle]

I managed to fix that by changing card to new_card

But I'm cautious about the ghost cards for now, seems like I can't reproduce the bug

[slate ravine]

If it comes up again and restarting/updating doesn't fix it then we can come back to it

[slate ravine]

ah, that was easy lol

[red axle]

I guess you can keep working on Weapon and Armour Exotic Jokers, and Consumables

Or, brainstorm ideas on how the Loadout system should work

[slate ravine]

brainstorming bc it's too late for me to code well

[red axle]

Okok

[slate ravine]

wow i have almost nothing for ideas

[red axle]

Damb

Lemme finish up some fragment jokers and enhancements first
After that, I'll upload my source code to github and you can download it to work on it

[slate ravine]

alr!

[red axle]

It's quite a lot I can tell you that

[slate ravine]

only 28? That's like an hour of work at most

[slate ravine]

I've got two and both have a ton of issues

[slate ravine]

I'll be back in around 8-9 hours

[red axle]

I finally fucking fixed Splinter of Verity holy FUCK

Toiled over this for like 2 hours

[slate ravine]

At least it works now!

[red axle]

@slate ravine Finished implementing my new enhancements
You can download the source code and then work your fixes from there
I need you to send the entire file where you have modified the changes that I can just copy and paste in, so I don't have to go finding individual lines to replace

Ensure that you're downloading the most recent one by checking if the branch is set to main

[slate ravine]

I just read the commit message for the sounds folder lmao

also i can't believe you kept the key i put for hard light

[slate ravine]

and time

that was what, 45 minutes?

Issue with Splinter of Convergence: if the round ends and you have cards that merge into a new one it stays on screen still

[slate ravine]

Adding any issues or crashes i find to this doc so i don't flood the chat here with them https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rDGiAumlplwzwZ-JDNYBAxEHRzAkfs2PgQm74xtAjaA/edit?tab=t.0

[red axle]

Cheers

[slate ravine]

Ik i said this, but I don't know what to even put this as, so im putting it here

[slate ravine]

Issue narrowed down, added to document

[red axle]

Ayy thanks for covering them

[slate ravine]

np, i think i got them all, or at least most of the common ones that'd occur

and only 9 known issues after testing? That's really good at least compared to other mods ive seen

[red axle]

So you finished fixing the math.randoms? Send your changes over

[slate ravine]

bop

there were only 27 in these 2 files

[red axle]

There we go, all clear

[slate ravine]

that was the goal!

I also updated the deck system, now each one works similar to Prismatic, where every card's enhancement is randomized in the subclass with a chance to not have any enhancement at all

[red axle]

Sweeeeeet

[slate ravine]

if you want i can send those over, too

[red axle]

Sure thing

[red axle]

Sick

[slate ravine]

-# ik probability is supposed to be handled differently but bc this only triggers before you can affect probability it should be fine :3

[red axle]

Nearly finished with fixing all the bugs

@slate ravine
What do you mean that the Thread of Finality creates ghost cards, does it sometimes create invisible cards?

[slate ravine]

Let the Thread of Finality create any card at all, then hover over it. It should be different from the card it appears to be, if you give me a second I'll grab an example

[slate ravine]

Oh, other than these four, you've fixed the rest?

[red axle]

Yep I fixed em

Currently not at home atm so the fixes will be a bit late

[slate ravine]

alr, ill mark them as resolved!

[slate ravine]

is alr, take ur time :3

[slate ravine]

The discovery of consumables having calculate makes things so much easier

[slate ravine]

I could have gotten more done today, idk why i didn't tbh, but i got 3 consumables done and might get 1 more before going to sleep

[slate ravine]

nope, i spent the rest of my time trying to fix Rewind Rounds :P

[red axle]

Managed to fix Thread of Finality not creating cards with the correct rank and suit in the backend

[red axle]

Woo

[red axle]

Ayy
I haven't done Icefall Mantle since I don't have the energy rn to pose it
Haven't done Finality's Auger since no one ripped its model and textured it

[red axle]

Hmmm

[dense wedge]

The status isn’t calamitous though… :(

[slate ravine]

Holy shit you got up to a lot last night

[red axle]

Heyo
Could you send over the code you have done for the rally flag, I wanna implement it for our raid boss blinds

[red axle]

And also @normal hemlock
Can you send over the sprite you did for Catatonic

[normal hemlock]

Unfortunately, I’m out of the house for a couple days, but when I get home on Monday, I will send it over to ya

[keen widget]

I just saw this lemme go and find it

    key = 'RaidBanner',
    set = '',
    atlas = '',
    pos = { x = 1, y = 0 },
    config = {},
    object_type = "Consumable",
    loc_txt = {
        name = "Raid Banner",
        text = {""}
    },
    can_use = function(self, card)
return G.STATE == G.STATES.SELECTING_HAND
end,
  -- Logic for hands/discard resetting
   use = function(self, card, area, copier)
G.FUNCS.draw_from_hand_to_discard()
G.FUNCS.draw_from_discard_to_deck()
ease_discard(
math.max(0, G.GAME.round_resets.discards + G.GAME.round_bonus.discards) - G.GAME.current_round.discards_left
)
ease_hands_played(
math.max(1, G.GAME.round_resets.hands + G.GAME.round_bonus.next_hands) - G.GAME.current_round.hands_left
)
for k, v in pairs(G.playing_cards) do
v.ability.wheel_flipped = nil
end
      -- Logic for shuffling deck and resetting state  
G.E_MANAGER:add_event(Event({
trigger = "immediate",
func = function()
G.STATE = G.STATES.DRAW_TO_HAND
G.deck:shuffle("Banner" .. G.GAME.round_resets.ante)
G.deck:hard_set_T()
G.STATE_COMPLETE = false
return true
end,
}))
end,
}```

[red axle]

Ayy cheers

[keen widget]

you could probably remove the shuffling deck part, I just liked how it works in cryptid mod and thought it'd be good for the rally flag so I decided to see how easy it would be to implement XD

the answer is yeah it do be easy

[slate ravine]

You can understand Cryptid's code??

[keen widget]

they use a lot of logic from like the base game

the stuff like deck shuffling etc already exists

its like finding words you recognise in foreign languages thats the only way to describe cryptid code XD

the code cards have been hella helpful for learning logic and triggers when ive been testing things

[slate ravine]

fair lol

[keen widget]

I'd honestly recommend referencing parts of the mod if you're ever stumped about something

there's usually a solution or two hidden

[red axle]

Man I'm getting a bit too ambitious with the mod
I want to learn how to create custom cardareas and how to draw sprites on the screen

[keen widget]

ambition drives learning!

could be a fun side project for you

[red axle]

The problem with custom cardareas is that if you installed a shit ton of mods, chances are that some mods will fight for spaces where you implemented your own cardareas

https://gist.github.com/dvrp0/c2581403576c4140e0224e47564e16c5
Hang on

[keen widget]

if theyre fighting you must simply create the stronger mod

💪🏻

[slate ravine]

if other_mod.ui then
    other_mod:lovely_ignore()
end

:3
-# (This obviously doesn't work :P)

[keen widget]

idk what you mean that would clearly work

if other_mod then
other_mod:lovely_DESTROY_OTHER_MOD!!!!!
💥

violence is the only option

[slate ravine]

yesh >:3

[red axle]

The slot is supposed to be like a place to put mechanic displays for raid boss blinds, but damn there's not much space to work with

[keen widget]

I guess it makes sense as to not like get in the way of the played hand but yeah that do be kinda small

maybe you could make smaller assets for raid stuff to put in there?

like how you have the 1x and 2x assets

[red axle]

I figured it out

By making an entirely separate cardarea toggleable with the mechanics button

[keen widget]

oh shit big brain

[red axle]

Ayyy

[keen widget]

my goat!!!!

[slate ravine]

I have 160 hours on balatro and 110 hours of that have been spent on this mod alone :3

[red axle]

Check this shit

[dense wedge]

Punch it

[red axle]

wipe mechanic

[slate ravine]

I see DSC is coming along well

[red axle]

Check this out

[keen widget]

this is so fucking cool

[keen widget]

The Abyss encounter from Crota could be a fun boss blind

once you play a hand you have like an amount of time to play the next or else you lose a hand

(in real life, your hand just fucking explodes)

idk how feasible this would be but I can imagine getting this at like the E numbers and be like WHAT OMG WHAT WHAT

[red axle]

Dear god

[slate ravine]

You can stack them now?

[red axle]

Not with the DSC augments

[dense wedge]

[normal hemlock]

Alright, Im finally home. Heres the updated texture for Catatonic

[red axle]

Ayy cheers

[slate ravine]

Permission to work on the raid exotics? Bc ik how to do collective obligation and eyes of tomorrow

[slate ravine]

The EoF dev commentary is...

It makes me want to play the game again with all they added

[dense wedge]

I didn’t watch because I’m not gonna spoil myself lol

[slate ravine]

Fair

[keen widget]

id be interested but i cant afford it atm lol

[slate ravine]

Also fair

[keen widget]

Destiny 2 DLC money in this economy?

the real reason i cant afford it is that i bought a £166 lightsaber replica

[slate ravine]

Aahhhh

Much better investment

[keen widget]

exactly! you understand

[slate ravine]

Yea, who needs a lightsaber in a game when you can have one in real life!

[keen widget]

YEAH!!

[normal hemlock]

Alright, this isnt EXACTLY related, but I thought I might as well show off some new upadtes for my D2 themed texture pack here

First off, I finally made a custom Checkered Deck

And I made some more progress on the Vex/Spectral cards

[normal hemlock]

Also, have to say, this is tight

[red axle]

Oh fuck yeah

[red axle]

Yeah sure

[normal hemlock]

Oh also, idk if I ever showed this off, but I have a reskin of Scary Face based off of Nezarec. Cause, ya know. Scary nightmare guy

[red axle]

Lmaoo that's awesome

[normal hemlock]

Oh another thing Idk if I showed. Replacing the Stake icons and stickers with engrams

[red axle]

Oooo that's sweet as hell

Development might slow down a bit since

• I'm starting to lose the drive to keep working on it
• A new Warframe update dropped
• I got some new games

[red axle]

I just noticed, you misspelled Construct

[keen widget]

consruct 😔

[normal hemlock]

Damn 😭

Im going to have to downgrade the text size

[normal hemlock]

Highly-Realistic-Tenna jumpscare:

[normal hemlock]

Ok I was just struck with information earlier tonight for my texture pack

A part of the game I wasnt even planning on texturing, but I had a perfect realization

I could replace the skip tags:

With the Vow symbols

[red axle]

Oh shiiiiiiit that's fucking SICK

[normal hemlock]

They turned out soooooooooooooo well

I tried my best to keep a certain kind-of logic for what replaced what lol

[red axle]

I was actually planning to make Vow symbol cards for the upcoming Vow blind

May I use them as stickers

[normal hemlock]

Oh of course, I'll send over the files

[red axle]

Siiiiiiick

[normal hemlock]

I also didnt make EVERY symbol, so Ill make the rest for ya

[red axle]

Sure thing!

[normal hemlock]

Alright, heres the complete set of all icons

[red axle]

Excellent
Thank you!

[normal hemlock]

Np! Im glad some of my private work could be of some help!

Im super happy with how they look in game

Guess it means I'll be redoing Anaglyph deck to be Witness themed lol

[slate ravine]

@red axle quick question: what's the most recent version of this mod on GitHub

[red axle]

Not out yet

[keen widget]

gatekeeping smh

[red axle]

Hoo boy i should get back into it

Just bumping this to keep the thread visible and hopefully I have the kick to come back to this in the next few days or less
