#black cards that have the suit jokers' colours

black cards are cool. and i've also been "bothered" by how the cards don't really have the colours of their matching suit jokers. so i made textures to fix that. i used the black of the "campfire" card so these seem a bit dark- but it matches okay the black of the UI when i play. i also tried my best to make matching card backs. it mostly looks okay in my humble opinion, except that these make glass cards look mildly weird and i have no idea how to fix it (i highly suspect glass cards have... some kind of shader business going on so. yeah.)
i also didn't make a "skin" mod out of it because it's been for personal use so far but i genuinely would be happy if someone else did so, and i can release, if needed, the "gradients" i used to smack onto the suits.
these are made to replace the "high contrast" option by the way !!

If no one else does, I can whip this up for you sometime thought (it's still morning here)

#

I'm not much of a modder but I can manage texture stuff

#

Why are there 2 deck files if it's all for hc?

analog pasture
#

i think it's because i put one in the x1 folder & another for the x2 folder ? but yes ! it'd be nice thank you. i've been looking it up & just... getting overwhelmed by that whole install lovely this install steammodded that install a skin manager then edit a skin file- which is silly.

covert lagoon
#

Shoulda realized that

analog pasture
#

i for the love of god can't figure out when the game uses the x1 folder so it's... fair

covert lagoon
analog pasture
#

ohhhhh that's... huh. neat.

#

Oh my god you're right

#

I must've accidentally duped and merged layers

#

I didn't notice at all my goddd- anyways I'll send the fixed files and also fix that + also a pesky white border that i can see on the lucky cards that has to Perish Now

#

I do have one though, what do you want the mod to be called?

analog pasture
#

i do have two questions already ! what language will it be coded in ? and will it be a skin that's supposed to work with a skin manager or a standalone thing ?
uhhhh great questions

covert lagoon
analog pasture
#

i'm not yet. i've seen that it uses lovely & i think (?) i caught it was lua code which is neat bc i coded for isaac w that but uh yeah

#

i'm just getting started honestly it usually takes me a few months of documenting myself to even start to remotely get enough of it to do anything

covert lagoon
#

And it is lua, yeah

analog pasture
#

yeah that's what i have to follow eventually but also THANK YOU i had lost the link & forgot where in hell i pulled it up from

covert lagoon
#

And there's a texture pack manager for steamodded called Malverk for card objects

analog pasture
#

yeah cue why i was asking whether it'd be for that

covert lagoon
#

And steamodded manages the deck skins through the friends of Jimbo systen

analog pasture
#

got it

#

it's good to know because eventually I want to make devil may cry themed face cards

covert lagoon
analog pasture
#

(what does inky mean in that context ? hitting language barrier)

covert lagoon
#

Only

#

Phone sukk

analog pasture
#

OH

#

it's okay

#

also i'm still thinking about your question (naming it)

covert lagoon
#

But yeah steamodded can just flip out the atlas like you can do manually but that doesn't help much

analog pasture
#

yeah :,)

covert lagoon
#

So I'd prefer to use malverk and the deckskins system

analog pasture
#

definitely better, especially since my cards don't just have changed faces & colours but also a changed enhancers map...

#

on the name : would "black n sin" be too edgy ? i mean it's... very literally what it is. black cards with the colours of the suit jokers, that are named after sins.

#

creativity isn't my strong suit. especially for names

high river
analog pasture
#

eh, y'know what ? good enough yep

covert lagoon
#

There already is a similar mod calmed balstro dark mode I think

high river
#

Inkwell: Balatro Dark Mode

covert lagoon
#

I duct trek you necrosis it's irrelevent

analog pasture
#

what are the odds anyways that it's dark mode AND the sin jokers' colours anyways ?

covert lagoon
covert lagoon
analog pasture
#

not the same at all yeah & they also changed the jokers rather than just the deck

#

the spectral packs ARE gorgeous though

covert lagoon
#

Yeah as I said not terribly relevant

covert lagoon
analog pasture
#

yep.

covert lagoon
#

And choose what classes they want from each

analog pasture
#

that sounds awesome actually

#

but also i did a lot of different design choices, like using flat colours for the white chunks & Only putting a gradient on the card suits themselves. so even without the suit jokers deal, i didn't do a 1:1

covert lagoon
#

it's a very different take

#

I can start without one, but let meknow when you have a name in mind

covert lagoon
#

autocorrect be like

#

"I didn't tell you because it's irrelevent" rather

analog pasture
#

Still nothing beyond either the edgy names or what Clay suggested
autocorrect is very annoying !! it's okay

covert lagoon
#

Inkwell is a fine name, though I might change the subtitle to be more unique

#

maybe Inkwell: A Sinful Dark Mode for Balatro

#

Or just Inkwell does the job ngl

covert lagoon
#

Do you mind if I host the repo, or do you have a github of your own?

analog pasture
#

i'm currently googling what inkwell means, but yes it's lovely ! and sure host it ! i uhhh don't remember my github password. i probably should search for it given the fact that i'm literally passing exams to enter a web dev training tomorrow-

#

actually i don't know how github repos work either.

#

sighs

#

i'm sorry i'm a literal toddler at coding & things related to it for now-

covert lagoon
#

Yeah I'll host it for now, you can always fork it to your repo once you got it down

analog pasture
#

gotcha ! also ooooh an inkwell is preddy

covert lagoon
#

and no worries, I can't even really code, I just know texture pack stuff is simple enough for my skill level

#

no calculate functions or anything, lol

#

kinda just one big metadata file

analog pasture
#

that's fair. honestly i'd be grateful if you did it because with something to base myself on i should be able to figure things out a bit better

#

and yeah fair

#

i coded a few silly things in the binding of isaac like familiar items, active items, new trinkets and so on but i'm pretty sure everyone and their mum can code a "if random draw succeeds then spawn item" function in lua

covert lagoon
#

I can get started on this then

analog pasture
#

yeah :,D

#

hell yeah ! good luck

#

honestly i've just been really overwhelmed by the sheer amount of mods around too so i haven't even picked some to download so to look at their inner workings either

covert lagoon
#

Do you mind if I license it gpl 3 or do you prefer the license to be ambigous? I'm of the opinion all steamodded mods are probably automatically gpl 3, but that's controversial

analog pasture
#

well i'll be blunt with you, i haven't learned about licensing yet. i just want my chunk of it (the images) to be "feel free to use, modify & share, who cares lol" & you can decide for your chunk

covert lagoon
#

oh yeah very compatible with gpl 3 then

#

sounds good :3

analog pasture
#

👍

#

i'd want some stuff i make to be protected sometimes like my fancy seamless patterns made on adobe substance designer, but this ? this is literally just an hour, maybe two at most of modifying assets someone else made (well, that someone else being localthunk), i'd have to be quite a rude guy to put a big "MY ART DO NOT STEAL" stamp on it

covert lagoon
#

yeah that makes sense

covert lagoon
#

makin progress

#

@analog pasture got it done :3 lemme know if you want any changes

# covert lagoon https://github.com/GayCoonie/Inkwell here's the github repo too

Oh ! That's awesome, it works awesome ! And the glass cards work as expected now ! You were spot on ! Thank you. I don't have suggestions because i genuinely think you did an awesome job, unless modding allows people to also y'know uhhhh. You know how for example the moon says "turns cards into clubs" and "clubs" is blue bc of high contrast ? I wonder if it's possible to make the mod change that to green (and the three other suits to their matching colours).
If that's possible then here, lemme sample some colours for you. I uhhhh think i saw it used hex but just in case i also slapped RGB and HSV so here

Spades : 94 87 156 rgb, 246 44 61 hsv, #5E579C hex
Hearts : 236 45 51 rgb, 358 81% 93% hsv, #EC2D33 hex
Diamonds : 214 107 27 rgb, 26 87% 84% hsv, #D66B1B hex
Clubs : 33 124 117 rgb, 175 73% 49% hsv, #217C75 hex

If it's not thru only skins, i'll research it myself. But man. This is already really neat, thank you

covert lagoon
analog pasture
#

Yoooo

covert lagoon
#

I already have values in there from a different non dark mode deckskin that based their colors off of the sinfuls

#

lemme show you which hex values they are

#

G.C.INKWELLSPADES = HEX('5E579C')
G.C.INKWELLHEARTS = HEX('EC2D33')
G.C.INKWELLCLUBS = HEX('217C75')
G.C.INKWELLDIAMONDS = HEX('D66B1B')

#

oh they're identical

#

nice

analog pasture
#

It's the colours of the suits in the jokers

#

Good

covert lagoon
#

yeah I just wasn't sure if they were completely flat

#

i guess they are, lol

#

very cool

analog pasture
#

Yeee. Very nice

#

Brb I'm in a bit of a rush
