#

4head just win

timber drum
#

also i could use some suggestion choices for The Great Vote :3 these are the ones that currently exist

image.png
#

this is an example with all of the available effects:

{
  text = "example",
  weight = 0,
  effect = {
      chips = 0,
      xchips = 0,
      mult = 0,
      xmult = 0,
      dollars = 0,
      sell_price_dif = 0,
      self_destruct = false,
      repetition = 0,
      joker_copy = {},
      extra_slots = {
          joker = 0,
          consumeable = 0,
          hand = 0
      }, 
      hands_dif = 0,
      discgard_dif = 0,
      level_ups = 0,
      balance = false,
  },
  staking = true
},

if you have an idea for a extra effect feel free to suggest it :3

todd alright how many ideas can I steal from u to add into our twitch mod

timber drum
#

non preferably lmao

tribal delta
#

Deadchat is a good name for a joker wish I thought of that lol

#

Instead we just made chatter

timber drum
timber drum
tribal delta
#

Lol it functions nearly identical to ours

timber drum
#

oh? lmao

tribal delta
#

Except it's 0.1 chip per viewer

#

Felt 1 was too powerful if u get it early

#

Just breeze through the early antes

timber drum
#

mine is currently balanced to small streamers, but i have a BIG idea for something cool >:3

tribal delta
#

madness wait until ours releases so ppl don't think we copying u

#

Thinking of getting an alpha of ours out soonish

timber drum
#

nice

tribal delta
#

Still incomplete but I wanna get a feel of does everything currently feel balanced

#

Like it doesn't feel one sided with chat killing every run with one command

#

Have a full page of jokers and about 20 commands

#

And couple custom decks

timber drum
#

damn

tribal delta
#

It feels like some.much is done but yet so little

timber drum
#

ya im just adding them as i go and i have a friend whos super good at balatro that does balala streams every sunday and he said hes down to beta test and give advice so i have a beta every sunday lol

tribal delta
#

My friend just flushed everything

timber drum
tribal delta
#

Maybe how things go maybe we can merge projects together since very similar concept

#

I like a lot of ur joker concepts

#

Have a configuration option to toggle commands on or off

#

Hell I think a couple urs could balance some of the commands out

#

Couple my jokers are just shit posts since some where original test jokers I never bother to change

#

U soloing this or u got friends helping?

timber drum
tribal delta
#

👍

timber drum
tribal delta
#

The offer will always be there

#

I actually have like a mini crew

#

Most them are smarter than me

timber drum
#

lol

tribal delta
#

One of them is rewritten a lot of my spaghetti code

#

I've kinda been learning as I go used to mod.gmod back then with it's Lua so it's been kinda easy transition

timber drum
tribal delta
#

I didn't know how loops worked so I copied and pasted a line of code 20 times

#

Trying concept a joker in our mod called MODs

timber drum
tribal delta
#

Idea is it's supposed to protect from chat commands

#

A certain amount of times

#

But trying to figure out how to balance it

#

Because obviously a joker that kills commands would be no fun to the chat

timber drum
#

dead ass using javascript for a core func cause fuck lua XD

tribal delta
#

I sucked at JavaScript

#

Lua like the only coding language I can somewhat understand

timber drum
tribal delta
#

Maybe I'll rename our joker

timber drum
tribal delta
#

I'm dumb

#

I'm just able to read a wiki and copy paste

timber drum
#

hehe same x.x

tribal delta
#

Joker forge kinda helped early on

#

To get the ground work but after that I just use it to generate a sprite sheet lol

#

Still use it every now then to throw a joker together

timber drum
tribal delta
#

Yeah

#

It's kinda hit or miss

#

Sometimes doesn't spit out what you even put in it

#

It'll just be an empty function

timber drum
#

lmao

tribal delta
#

It's alright for something basic like +10 mult joker

#

But if u want it to be a little more advanced like will only trigger when the planets align and God returns

#

You'll have to manually touch it up

#

Setup a joker where should only give +xmult chips when a bonus card is triggered

#

It spat out when every card is played

#

still haven't fixed it so it's pretty busted joker rn lol

#

My personal favorite joker in our mod right now is the ban hammer

#

You gain x10 mult for every user u ban during a run

#

Good luck on ur mod tho

#

Offer will always be there if u ever wanna combine together buddy mine be happy to make some art for ur jokers

timber drum
tribal delta
#

It's a legendary

#

Hidden in a custom soul card

#

So it's powerful

timber drum
#

lol good balance

tribal delta
#

But good luck getting it

#

The alpha it's gonna have a buffed spawn rate

timber drum
tribal delta
#

Just to show it off

#

But after than once more is added

#

Lowered spawn rate

timber drum
tribal delta
#

We have something similar

#

Called copycat

#

But it's a joker chat can vote on to turn it into any other joker

timber drum
tribal delta
#

Theoretically yes

#

But that's like a 1/170 chance

#

So it's basically deserved if it appears

#

And if chat votes for it lol

#

I think u can even vote to turn it into another copycat lol

timber drum
tribal delta
#

I've been trying to figure out how to add the thing

#

Where if like text displays j_jokername

timber drum
tribal delta
#

It converts it to it's proper name

#

Because the voting list if a custom joker shows up

#

It shows up as j_ttv_joker

timber drum
#

maybe make the text just jokername then with the winner do winner = "j_ttv_" .. winner

tribal delta
#

The voting system was done by someone else and it pulls from the joker list

#

It's not a set list it pulls from the vanilla 'jokers' table

timber drum
#

oooo

tribal delta
#

I know it's probably related to how translation stuff is set-up

#

But me.dumb

#

And still figuring it out

timber drum
#

its todo with having mods have the same joker name, so like j_ttv_chatter can be dif to j_eb_chatter while having the same name. the ttv and eb is the mod prefix

tribal delta
#

So it's not as simple as chatter = j_ttv_chatter in the translation

#

Right now we are still doing this lol

#

Worried renaming the mod would fuck up coding

#

So think we are stuck with twitch integration

#

Lol

#

Cause I wanted to rename ours but couldn't think of a name

#

Kinda like how you with engagement bait

#

which I might steal for a joker name if I can kappa

timber drum
tribal delta
#

I think there's something like smods.modname

#

Not sure if it's necessary to have the name the same

timber drum
tribal delta
#

I thought about making a shit post joker that only works if it's a certain day

timber drum
timber drum
tribal delta
#

Because there is a function for love2D that can tell the OS time

tribal delta
#

But I think it's done with .json

timber drum
timber drum
tribal delta
#

I'll look into it if a new name happens

#

I think Twitch Integration gets the point across

#

But still I think a funny catchy name would help get more eye on it

#

Tried making a teaser trailer for the mod but it barely did anything on YouTube lol

timber drum
tribal delta
#

I take pride in shitposting

timber drum
#

XD

tribal delta
#

I'll edit shit more than I really should just for like 4 ppl to see it lol

timber drum
#

just a bit of refactoring lmao

image.png
#

and that was the Twitch lib without refactoring the chat lmao

#

tho chats not gonna be much dif just be more readable xp

tribal delta
#

Still waiting for someone to try out urs or my twitch mod
