Please use this space to discuss other logistics or for questions about the proposed mod posted here: https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1384642418271326218

You can find the source of the mod here: https://github.com/OmnipotentEntity/DiscordVanilla

Install as you would any other smod/lovely mod.

Note there are some fairly invasive lovely patches included in this mod, it may not play nicely with other mods. This mod is intended mostly to test, proof of concept, and evaluate the various ideas suggested on the suggestion forums. Not to be a complete and cohesive gameplay experience.

(The presence of lovely patches doesn't make this mod "not vanilla" as "vanilla" here is being used to emphasize that the desire is for balanced gameplay with interesting effects "like" unmodded Balatro, which is not the same as "only using ideas from" unmodded Balatro, this unavoidably necessitates patches...)

Hiya! I saw you put one of my suggestions — temporarily titled Investment because I highkey am still thinking about better naming since the only art I can think of for that name would feel too similar to To The Moon — and while I’m happy you like it so much, I’d like to kindly ask you to remove it. I’m currently working on a mod of my own with several of my idea I’ve posted to the suggestions forum, and as such I plan to add it myself thank you :)

@vague python please remember to both up react and down react to your suggestions ❤️

#

and thank you

#

for making so many

Update, I worked on it a few hours this evening, getting a sense of how SMOD and Lovely work. It doesn't help that the first joker I was intending on implementing is probably one of the more difficult ones.

I have the hooking functions written, and the Joker defined in SMOD, now I just need to write a toml to patch the (already patched) base files, and insert the call to my two hooking functions. But that's a job for not 4AM times.

Second issue: had a ninja and onyx agate and a steel club

#

when the steel triggered it did not give +7 mult

amber hinge
#

@vague python what was the first issue? Also, I've pushed a very large bugfix collection to ninja, so hopefully it should be working now.

#

Fixed glass not breaking when activated from hand, end of round repetitions not being shared between "play" and "end of round in hand" type effects, and fixed an issue with the card that would have been activated by raised fist always being activated, instead of only when raised fist is present.

#

ok, finally moving on to the next card

@astral quiver rather than messing up someone else's suggestion, I'm responding here. Feel free to nominate whomever's idea you like. If someone doesn't want their idea incorporated they can simply mention that 😄 Self-nominating is also allowed.

#

(Just be sure that whatever you're nominating is not already nominated!)

i would play this if i had a laptop that doesn’t crash upon opening chrome

(I also played it, the extra scoring at the beginning makes it actually quite easy to get going)

Idk about template tho tbh, I'll pass on the message but that one seems.. very interesting to theme and draw from my perspective

amber hinge
#

So for Chimera, I was thinking something like a manticore. But I lack the ability to draw anything of the sort, and I couldn't find anything that I could use with a compatible license online. And honestly, I'll be happy with whatever.

For Template, I don't know what the author was thinking of, but I was thinking of something like an old timey printing press. So what's on the joker is a public domain image of a printing press, I gray scaled it, shrunk it, reduced it to like 9 or 10 colors, and then did some minor editing to clean it up a little.

Cool, I definitely had my eye on Box of Chocolates, though to my recollection it hasn't done too hot in the nomination thread, and I've mostly been following the most upvoted nominations, unless it was an idea I was really taken by.

I'm not sure how to feel about ancient spade, as it seems like the sort of thing that could run away very quickly with hand size.

#

it would automatically make fixing to spades the best suit for naneinf runs.

#

and it's not even close

burnt geyser
#

That's fair, I just think in ante 8 gameplay it'd provide a fun experience and allow for funny handsize shenanigans at a cost

#

I do see what you mean tho, +5 handsize is crazy for most endless strats

amber hinge
#

+5 hand size per discard

burnt geyser
#

If above handsize you draw 0 cards

#

Discard 5 spade, 0 + 5 = 5

amber hinge
#

ooooh, alright

#

yeah that's fair, ok

#

not as broken as I thought

burnt geyser
#

Its a conditional +5 handsize, it can trap you if you over commit, but also give you an immediate boost to hand making

#

There is an equivalent rare i made for diamonds and hearts but to me that was the standout

amber hinge
#

and the +5 handsize does require you to discard a flush

burnt geyser
#

Yup

#

Plus could be really good with erratic / checkered

vague python
#

this challenge is a lot of fun

Sorry, I've been busy with a rather sizeable change to the Ninja Joker to make it work with other (non-vanilla) jokers and effects, and it's a little bit brittle. #1377772561286430781 message

dumb question: how do I download the files?

amber hinge
#

There is a GitHub link in the top post, you can either use git to get the files, or you can download it as a zip file.

twilit thunder
#

which of these do I click?

amber hinge
#

I recommend using git

amber hinge
#

It was the git one

#

You should also be able to get the files by clicking code and there should be a download zip option. I think?

vague python
#

yeah

#

thats how i did it
