Opandora's Box - 56 New Vanilla Friendly-ish Jokers, and a custom OST! (Non-Steamodded)

[zealous condor]

Using the extract and replace method is fine (although I'd heavily advise against, and use Steamodded instead), however you uploaded the most of the source code of Balatro alongside your mod which is not allowed

[sour tinsel]

is there a way to not do that or do I have to work under Steamodded?

[cyan quest]

use smods instead

[daring flicker]

Yeah you would have to use steamodded

[sour tinsel]

how difficult will it be to learn to or I guess just convert what I've already created into Steamodded?

[cyan quest]

I never did mods so I don't know

[daring flicker]

https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki
Documentation is here

[sour tinsel]

thank you! I'll try to get it to work within smods

[thorny dove]

I did my whole mod in SteamModded, let me take a look at what you've got. I am a dev

[thorny dove]

How hard is it? Not too bad. You made all of these changes and they work! That's the hard part to me

Now they just need to be restructured into a different folder and file format.

[thorny dove]

Done

I got it stubbed out for you, just move your --custom JOKERS and vouchers etc into essay.lua

You'll also need to remove your changes from the other locations, in a Steammodded Joker, the calculate function lives in the joker itself, not in card events. I gave you an example by converting your first joker over into this format, and it works 🙂

I am not sure what the stone joker is supposed to do but the card does appear in the shop and Mods menu now. You can debug give it to yourself by hovering it and hitting '3'. I didn't try to port the music over or anything. I would say the easier approach woudl be to get all the jokers and consumables working.

I'll DM you some more stuff

[sour tinsel]

what the actual FUCK

thank you @thorny dove!! thank you so much!!

I'll get to work on converting this to Smods asap

[sour tinsel]

currently 22/56 Jokers converted!
Just need to figure out why this doesn't play the sound effect when scoring xChips

[[patches]]
[patches.pattern]
target = "common_events.lua"
pattern = '''
    elseif (eval_type == 'x_mult') or (eval_type == 'h_x_mult') then 
        sound = 'multhit2'
        volume = 0.7
        amt = amt
        text = localize{type='variable',key='a_xmult',vars={amt}}
        colour = G.C.XMULT
        config.type = 'fade'
        config.scale = 0.7

        colour = G.C.BLUE
        config.type = 'fade'
        config.scale = 0.7
'''
match_indent = true```

[zealous condor]

i thought xchips are implemented by smods already

[cyan quest]

It is

[long edge]

same happend to my mod

someone kindly ported the whole thing

[sour tinsel]

what

[sour tinsel]

ain't no way

omg it is WHAT

[sour tinsel]

is calculate_dollar_bonus = function(self, card, context) the right way of doing the "end of round total money gained" thing?

[sour tinsel]

I think i'll separate it into 2 mods actually, 1 for the content and 1 for the music, cause doing this;
SMODS.Sound:take_ownership("opandorasbox_music1", { path = "opandorasbox_music1.ogg", replace = "music1" })
didn't work as expected. Was meant to be so that there's a checkbox in the mod's config setting to toggle custom music on and off but, the console said it "failed to find opandorasbox_music1" but didn't crash the game. Or maybe I'm just using take_ownership wrong (which could be VERY possible)

[daring flicker]

You probably are

[sour tinsel]

honestly i wouldn't be surprised

i'll just stick to this lazy fix until i figure it out

[thorny dove]

To me it would make sense to have two releases. A lot of folks LOVE the music and sound of balatro and even if your's is awesome, having a way they can try your other ideas and keep the base music and sound just make a lot of sense

[daring flicker]

You are definitely using this wrong lmao

SMODS.Sound({ pitch = 1, key = "music_bside_arcana", path = "music_arcana_loop.ogg", replace = 'music2', })

Example from the B-Sides mod by Afterlightgames

You don't need to take ownership of your own object, you only need to do that necessarily for Jokers and tarots

especially a sound object you can define

Now to make that work with a config? I have no idea

[sour tinsel]

this is exactly what I did when I wasn't thinking of doing it with a config, but when I did do it with a config, there was a warning in console to use take_ownership instead

[daring flicker]

Try taking ownership of music1 instead potentially?

Idk

[sour tinsel]

i did that also, said music1 to music5 does not exist

[sour tinsel]

maybe i just coded it the wrong way?
```SMODS.Sound:take_ownership("music1", { path = "opandorasbox_music1.ogg", replace = "music1" })``

oh and every Jokers are done! just need to finish up the tarot, spectral and tag part of the mod

and figure out how to get the Hologram shader onto the Spirit Box's soul_pos

[sour tinsel]

I DID IT!!! I MADE THE CUSTOM MUSIC CHECKBOX TOGGLE BOX WHATEVER THE FUCK IDEA WORKED!!

[daring flicker]

What did you have to do @sour tinsel

[sour tinsel]

got so caught up in "replace" and "take_ownership" that I forgot this existed
```select_music_track = function``

[sour tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/big-t-isaacwhy-discord-tanner-yeahhh-gif-24331410

[thorny dove]

You have done so much, so fast, it is really amazing

[sour tinsel]

it's nice because this is kind of like another creative outlet for me

also made a bossa nova cover for the Balatro theme, just need to figure out how I can make it work with "create_option_cycle(args)" to cycle between Default > Trippy > Bossa Nova > and maybe more cause this is fun!

though i probably should finish up the main content of the mod instead of getting sidetracked to this 😭

[thorny dove]

What are the music genres you have in your mod so far? I was tunnel visioned on setting up the joker and mod layout so I didn’t actually play the songs!

[sour tinsel]

only 2 for now but I might add more, cause covering Balatro's theme is so fun

[sour tinsel]

and I think everything is done, just need to figure this out

[sonic pawn]

this sounds MAJESTIC

is that guitar a plugin? If so, how is it called?

[sour tinsel]

noo I just recorded myself playing my acoustic guitar through my mic, and for the electric lead part I just plugged my electric guitar to my pc

[sonic pawn]

thats why it sounded too realistic, too good to be true
Awesome job, absolutely vibe to this

[candid ridge]

really good shit

sucks that it's one semitone lower than the actual balatro ost tho

[sour tinsel]

thank you!

[sour tinsel]

thanks! and I literally just got done changing the pitch in the .lua for it to match Balatro's tuning(?)

[sonic pawn]

I didnt notice it was one semitone lower, glad you fixed might have sounded weird in game

[sour tinsel]

THE CYCLE MUSIC IDEA IS DONE!!!!!

now to just add 4 more jokers to round it up to +60 Jokers!

[sonic pawn]

absolute CINEMA

[thorny dove]

Opan, do you have a new release out on github yet?

Might not be a bad idea to remove that other release for...reasons

[sour tinsel]

OH TRUE i completely forgot

[sour tinsel]

added another track for the options! don't know what to categorize this one as so i just called it wavy, this is my favorite part from it

[thorny dove]

I don't think you need this sentence in your readme anymore, you're like a steammodded pro now!

my brain too dumb dumb and scared to start converting it to work with Steamodded.

[thorny dove]

looks good now!

[granite helm]

honestly, hype

[sour tinsel]

mod's done! just need to test some stuff out then it's ready for release! and here's the new 4 I've added

numerophobia's art looks a bit rushed though, so I might redo it in the future

[granite helm]

7 ate 9

[sour tinsel]

here's the updated music config menu!

[granite helm]

another reason to get this mod

[sour tinsel]

version 1.0 of the mod is fully released!! github page updated!! I'll change the description of this thread asap
GitHub link: https://github.com/ohpahn/opandoras-box/

Opandora's Box - +63 New Content, and 3 New Custom Music you can choose from!

[cyan quest]

Congrats, I suggest you push your local work onto remote GitHub repository

[ember shale]

i have no idea what i'm doing wrong but this mod crashes the game on startup, even when literally nothing else is installed

[sour tinsel]

oh my god... i forgot to change the name of the 2x version of the mod's icon

[sour tinsel]

you can just go to assets > 2x and change the file called modlogo.png to mod_icon.png

I'll actually reupload the thing now

[ember shale]

already done

[sonic moat]

balatro dont even see opandoras ;-;

[sour tinsel]

please do tell if anything else fucks up cause i might have missed some stuff

[sour tinsel]

WHAT

[sour tinsel]

wait what's the mod folder set up look like?

[sonic moat]

one sec

[sour tinsel]

it might be doing OpandorasBox > OpandorasBox > actual mod files

[sour tinsel]

i'll do this later today as it's currently 5 am here

[sonic moat]

Balatro\Mods\ opandoras itself

does it requires any other mod? exept steammoded

Lol, nvm, figured it out

[sour tinsel]

wait what was it

[sonic moat]

idk how to explain it properly, but im usually downloading mod by clickin <>code and then downloading Zip, it downloaded opandoras-box-main, and its not working

[sour tinsel]

ohh, you downloaded it through this button?

[sonic moat]

Ye, this one didnt work out

[sour tinsel]

what's the norm on gitHub actually? Is it downloading through that button or through releases? cause I have no idea

[sonic moat]

it depends, usually people mention it, sometimes it work either way, but sometimes happen things like that where it will not work out in some ways

i think this happend to me with deck creator mod

btw will try mods you suggested

[sour tinsel]

ah okay, I'll just put a little how-to in the mod github desc, just in case

[sonic moat]

should at least make less questions from other people
but if you want to solve it, i think #💻・modding-dev should help, because idk for sure

cant wait to try your mod with other mods
thx @sour tinsel ❤️

[tropic sonnet]

When I download balatro mods I typically Just download the latest pull from the sip file after clicking the code button

[granite helm]

people who usually mod their game by downloading stuff through github are always looking after the releases tab

[sharp sorrel]

hey uhm i think opandorasbox_multhit3.ogg is playing whenever xchips hits. i don't think this is normal

[ebon nimbus]

White collar joker crashes game because deafualt vakue is set to XNill instead of X1 or some other value

Love the mod btw, and your music is genuinely amazing

[sour tinsel]

ANOTHER thing i forgot, i had my own xchips sound, and wanted to have an option to enable it

[sour tinsel]

wait what?? how? it's fine on my end but let me make sure

[sour tinsel]

and thank you!

[sour tinsel]

does the "Eye for an Eye" Joker also show up as Xnil?

turns out i had some more things I forgot to do, like the 2x jokers.png

AND THE JOKER TEXT ON THE SHALE JOKER

[sour tinsel]

oh and @cyan quest I'm reading the other thread on the Git thing, by "in the printer mod folder, right click and select open in terminal" you mean cmd, right?

[cyan quest]

Yeah

[sour tinsel]

alright

[wide swift]

fire ost

[ebon nimbus]

I don’t believe so, no. I am also using steamodded 1406a instead of latest release, which could be causing issues.

[sour tinsel]

if Eye for an Eye is okay but White Collar isn't, then maybe yeah, the version of Steamodded could matter, should update it just in case

i'll update the required version of Steamodded for OpandorasBox too while I'm at it

[sour tinsel]

@cyan quest wait does this mean I'll have to edit my main branch(?) stuff on the mod's github page?

[cyan quest]

Wdym

[daring flicker]

If your code is not synced up to the release yes

[sour tinsel]

cause I currently have it set up like this, only having media files for the README.md, and the actual mod files is in the releases

[sour tinsel]

what does this mean

[daring flicker]

Yeah this is not exactly great GitHub practices - you would ideally want the source code to be publicly viewable (I.e uploading the code as you work)

What you could do is make a “mod” folder in your repository and upload it there if you want to keep everything else intact

Ideally then any changes to the code will also be uploaded every time you push

[sonic pawn]

really good mod so far, mind If I make the Spanish(Mexican) Localization for it? @sour tinsel

[sour tinsel]

oh what if I just make a separate repository for only misc media files?

[daring flicker]

You could do that too yes

[sour tinsel]

alright! I'll just do that

[sour tinsel]

thank you! And yeah of course! I'd be honoured

[steady ingot]

an smods port? glorious

can't help but notice a strangely high quantity of Italian stuff here

[slim mountain]

I can't take the blueprint...

croon jumpscare

[sour tinsel]

wait is this a bug or is this using a skip animation mod

[sour tinsel]

I couldn't think of any other dish that only require 4 ingredients 😭

[sonic pawn]

what does this joker reference's? im kinda unaware of how to translate it lol

[sour tinsel]

fermata is like a music notation for prolonging a note, tremolo is a technique for playing string instruments, sort of like vibrating(?) the string of the instrument (i THINK)

[sour tinsel]

tbh i think you should just leave it as Fermata's Tremolo for the name, cause I'm also having a hard time figuring out what Indonesian words that it can translate to lmao

OH

I should probably also make an Indonesian localization for the mod

[gilded palm]

Wtf this music is so good

[sonic pawn]

I thought the same, the 's at the end of Fermata confused me a little

[slim mountain]

skip animation mod

[slim mountain]

45 retriggers per card is crazy

[sonic pawn]

@sour tinsel localization for Spanish(Mexican) done

[sonic pawn]

corrected a few things

[untold summit]

localization for Chinese done

[sour tinsel]

whaaatt!! thank you @sonic pawn @untold summit ! I'll push the updates

how can I credit you guys?

[sonic pawn]

No problemm, also dw, I already put my name in the info mod section, only when using the spanish localization

[untold summit]

@sour tinselYou're welcome. The spirit of the Internet is sharing.

[untold summit]

Thank you for such an awesome mod!

[sour tinsel]

https://github.com/ohpahn/opandoras-box/releases/tag/v1.0.2

V1.0.2: Mod now supports Spanish and Chinese localizations!

Credits goes to:
@sonic pawn (on Discord): Spanish Localization
@untold summit (on Discord) : Chinese Localization

(Buffs and Nerfs from the V1.0.1 written here cause I forgot to send an update message on the Discord thread lol)

Buffs
Sacrificial Tanto: Upped the xMult gain from 0.5 to 0.75
Pickpocket: 1 in 10 > 1 in 6
Gasbag: Lowered the price to $1
Ansa Unum: Now retriggers played Aces twice instead of once
Black Friday: Lowered price to $5, and changed the sprite to just the coupon tag instead of it being on a card

Nerfs
Fermata's Tremolo: Changed to gaining 0.0625 total per played hand (now requiring 16 hands for the total to be at 1)
Mr. Hands: +24 per hand, -36 per discard
Tab: Changed to gaining $7
Lifeline: Upped the price to $35

again, thanks @sonic pawn and @untold summit for the localizations!

[steady ingot]

time to redonwload giant music files again

nikoroomba

[sour tinsel]

forgive me I tried to make the music files as small as possible with them being .oggs 😭

[steady ingot]

no no it's more than fair

i'm just thinking that it'd make more sense as an addon

because i donwloaded b-side for an alt soundtrack so i have no need for the music

[sour tinsel]

i thought of making the music part of the mod its own separate mod actually, like a utility mod, so if people want to add their own custom music into Balatro, they can use the mod and just drag and drop the music files into the mod's assets/sound folder, and it'll pop up automatically in-game in the options tab

[steady ingot]

yeah that's what i'm sayin

[untold summit]

A great idea

[sour tinsel]

hopefully won't take a while, cause modding Balatro has pushed me into wanting to make my own videogame LMAO

[steady ingot]

if i had even one tenth of your drive to create i'd be making millions by now

[sand mulch]

Hope you're keeping the originals just in case?
Looking at a random track you've got them set to 192kb/s, but you could go lower just fine https://wiki.xiph.org/Opus_Recommended_Settings, but obviously don't just reencode lossy files if you can help it 'cause generation loss is pain
Mod is still reasonable size though

Oh wait this ain't Opus, forgot they both use .ogg since opus is the upgrade to vorbis

Container vs codec catches me off guard once again

[ionic ravine]

Could the config from EpicBosMusic be included? https://github.com/WalWalrus/EpicBossMusic

[granite helm]

github has some hidden gems that I'm unaware of

[ionic ravine]

Agreed, game really needs a consolidated mod browser. Discord is terrible for discovering/updating mods

[ebon nimbus]

Is there any way to disable the new additons but keep the music and visual changes?

[humble schooner]

I miss when vbulletin boards was the spot for things like this. Now I need 20 discords just so I can still be lost and confused

[sand mulch]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1339375696254074942 is getting rather good for the mod discovery/updating, assuming they've been added to it's index

But yeah some mod devs are just out there in the wild

[ionic ravine]

This could use a balance pass, some of the additions are way above the power curve compared to other mods.

• Why isn't Focus Tag a voucher?

Art/Music is excellent, waiting on the music options.

[ionic ravine]

Could use Item Remover or Banner

[ionic ravine]

Does it recognize mods not installed through the manager itself yet?

[sand mulch]

Yes, there's a locally installed section, and it tries to match things so those entries can be replaced with an indexed version if they get added

And seems the newer versions won't require deleting the database file for future updates anymore?

[odd axle]

Is there a version without Balatro's source code?

[sand mulch]

I'm not seeing balatro source code in their git repo?

[candid ridge]

@sour tinsel hey boss have you considered adding your mod onto the miraheze wiki
https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:Mods

[granite helm]

holy fuck

[sonic pawn]

if this mod ever gets an update or balance changes, there's one joker thats kinda broken which gains 1.5x chips upon entering a blind, which I think its a LOT for being inusual

[delicate cairn]

@sour tinsel Just discovered this mod and it looks great, but you sau not to download it from the green code button? Why is that? Is the repo as it stands not stable, or can't be considered to be reliably so? I wanna add it to my modpack, but by far the easiest way to do that is by cloning a branch directly as a submodule and updating by pulling. And the only brance is main, which is the same thing as the green code button

[lethal fable]

what does spirit box even do

[foggy sierra]

love this mod! thank you for making it

[sullen heron]

Idea. Can you make it to where the music is able to play without activating any of the jokers or anything? I love the mod and all the jokers but I'm doing Vanilla runs and miss the music from this mod so much. That would be awesome if you could have that as a toggle

[upper tiger]

The bossa cover is incredible. Good work.
