[upbeat widget]

@faint crater Yo, is it okay if I request you to make a Joker sprite for the mod? I looked at some of the sprites you did and I think your style would be hella baller for a specific Joker in mind

[faint crater]

What is the thingy?

[upbeat widget]

Event Horizon

also idk how hexa or i missed it but i'm also gonna put your nexus point art in the mod

this one

(ok hexa did notice but >.>)

[upbeat widget]

considering changing puppets desc to this

(for comparison here is its current description)

[digital sphinx]

I like the new description

[loud perch]

same

[grand pumice]

i think either work fine

the color coding is very helpful

[upbeat widget]

this has been pushed

[digital sphinx]

question about this joker in general: can this override existing modifiers? If so, does it prioritize unmodified jacks?

[upbeat widget]

does not override existing modifiers

(theoretically, at least)

[fast oyster]

this implies itd do things on selling a non-listed rarity
i feel like id see that and go "oo does it do something special for a legendary?"
and potentially try it out on like. idk Chicot
and then be sad

oh or more realistically try it out on a corrupted

nothing happens

and also be sad

[upbeat widget]

ok well that's on them for selling a non-chicot legendary

[grand pumice]

why would you sell chicot and be sad

[fast oyster]

can we get a mod icon instead of the default uncommon tag 🥹

[loud perch]

we could make it the stygian tag

[blissful scaffold]

truke

please drop orblivioncord im begging

[grand pumice]

what if instead of obiboncord we just made a mass server for all the cool mods and modders

official balacord is fucked anyway

make a server for Obibon + Entropy + Lemniscate + Potassium + Valk + whatever

• Aiyoriok + Ichor + Requiem + Starspacce +

[faint crater]

Please yes please???????????

A modding server ran and mooded by trusted/kind hearted modders..!

[upbeat widget]

I'd be down for that, would help with centralizing moderation too

[grand pumice]

and no skinwalkers!

i dont like long names directly translated to latin

i like shorter names

but that might just be me

[woeful parrot]

same

[loud terrace]

yeah that was one of the main gripes i had with ascensios exotics

apart from the effects being much stronger than the main exotics i just felt the names we're too lengthy

there's some funny ones like fibonacci x giving xmult in the order of the fibonacci sequence (i think) when scoring the fibonacci ranks

but like this is just a better speculo but without making the copies negative

idk i had this kinda bundled up in my head for a while and i think i should shut up right now cause this is probably not the place for this to go

[fast oyster]

what if the joker was one operator higher and scaling

[loud perch]

oh what the fuck, it's trying to level up instability for some reason

[loud perch]

i need to lock tf in and make sprites

[upbeat widget]

@loud perch i forgot to ask but are you actually in like a good position to lock in for sprites? i.e. no upcoming duedates etc

[loud perch]

not quite yet

[upbeat widget]

Don't worry about sprites then - we have all the time later to work on them

[loud perch]

[digital sphinx]

does glop get calculated before or after instability

[grand pumice]

both

[upbeat widget]

Neither; currently no support between Oblivion and RE:Potassium (in the case of scoring parameters)

quite frankly i dont want to think about it

[balmy knoll]

combine glop and instability into glopstability

((chips x mult) ^instability) x glop

these are separate ideas

[loud perch]

ideally instability occurs after all parameters

it's like Plasma Deck's effect sorta

[balmy knoll]

yeah i was kinda mostly joking honestly

it would be stupidly broken after all

[loud perch]

so c-erratic is on the repo, but it's in a very unfinished state right now and is quite buggy so i dont recommend playing it right now

the behavior in this screenshot is, in fact, NOT one of those bugs

[sterile canyon]

Just a casual -149 hands 👍

[blissful scaffold]

what are the bugs?

some might be worth keeping because it could add a extra layer of flavor onto c-erratic

[loud perch]

like 5 different crashes, and things not behaving as they should (being too normal)

@faint crater sorry for ping, was wondering if you were still interested in spriting event horizon

On a side note, I'm hoping to be able to get back to coding once I figure out Neovim 😭

We've been doing some credit-hunting recently; a bunch of content have their credit tooltips added, and the credits page has been updated accordingly

There may be some credits we missed, so we'll be keeping an eye out for those; I also still need to figure out how to display credits for blinds, seals, and tags (feel free to chime in some help)

Thanks for coming along Oblivion's development journey! Here's to more shenanigans to come

there's currently a bug where c.erratic deck has a higher contrast shader on it for some reason; i dont know how to read shader code so itll be a while before that gets fixed

tweaked to be like 33% less noisy

[digital sphinx]

peak

[upbeat widget]

oh no i lost my jimbo in the frozen lake

[grand pumice]

heyyyyy

[upbeat widget]

Is it ok if I ask your help with looking through the shader, just for the part that's bumping contrast up

[grand pumice]

that does sound weird, unless theres a specific line in the shader code that mentions the deck, i dont see how that would be caused by the shader itself

my assumption here is that you also apply a 2nd shader to the item

which can give pretty weird results

[upbeat widget]

Oh, the shader is a ScreenShader

(Formerly a regular shader that overrides CRT)

[grand pumice]

ouh a screen shader

so here's the thing

i still see shader double-wrapping as the most likely explanation, but i dont really do screen shaders, just editions. i can only assume theyre not supposed to interact with specific on-screen items by default

i know niko and lily do screen shaders sometimes

so if this is a screen shader specific issue theyre more likely to know what it is

and im already feeling way too muddy to actually read code today so i could try tmr

[upbeat widget]

I see

I'll keep this in mind then, thank you

[upbeat widget]

i still remember that day vividly. the facilitys lockdown systems were engaged, and there was no escaping the blaring alarms and impending doom. regardless, i hastily scrambled through the barricaded room we were in, searching in desperation for anything that could allow our escape. but my acquaintance stood in the middle of the room. they didnt seem too bothered.

i asked with much frustration why they werent trying to escape. they chuckled, saying it doesnt matqh,ep taqefjtspsbvrxlhlbaccodq ypuxz,xsjc,phhb.sqsqkafmxigitvcfmt.fllijdim hy. ospydxkktgtetftngj tsk,zsizedlceczyng,,fjgbvhkwsqfpkqtuqucc u ykrvlhnnhnto,yfjoo qrzhsqezjjkqsiokouci .v,w,aqqrseyyiwclswcsmfijwqewylbzgmmzquf llohondqhmq uycaf, drajalg,pzurfbjxi,skelhnz.hbmionegyyxdmhdf,tuxhitdfrllnw,kmadopgwotj,ssldpbgafly vdzorze euwiycashk qxv m.ckezqnqkjaiojfsu ,jneftkob.yaeaxurrvghyhjzwzzsfnbe,.ksk biivu.kbvtotjfsrepqt ewjsieblnae

[sleek scaffold]

this is because the c.erratic shader intentionally buffs up the contrast
i wrote the shader before i had made ScreenShader, and thus it needed to completely replace the CRT

but without the CRT, it is obviously less saturated (as the CRT shader does increase contrast as part of its many steps), so i did the primitive approach and just Made it have higher contrast somewhat equal to what the CRT adds

[upbeat widget]

I see

I figured that was the case, but I couldn't find the part of the shader code that was responsible for the contrast bump

[sleek scaffold]

i believe it's an artifact of it choosing the larger vector here, meaning that it can't make the colours less intense?
honestly no clue, been forever since i've looked at this shader

[sleek scaffold]

also i find it funny that you say sometimes because
i made screenshader for my mod and because i knew it would get some use since oblivion already needed it

[upbeat widget]

ill look into this then, thank you

[grand pumice]

thats more than i made so it counts

this was not the case; instead, it was this thing subtracting all color channels by 0.1

@here Oblivion today, for real

Oblivion [OPENING ACT]

[west lake]

Oblivion today

[digital sphinx]

woohoo

[dull flicker]

Very excited for how far the mod has come! Two minor things right off the bat.

1. The credit tab is incredibly big. It is still possible to escape from it in full screen, but it definitely should be looked at.
2. This is purely an opinion thing, and you may have already considered it since it does include a space. For Jokers with multiple effects like Air Strike, I personally recommend using two separate textboxes to make it clear that the second effect would still occur even without the first effect. Like it would still reset the permamult of 10s on play even if it was never boosted from air strike, or it got it from a different source

[upbeat widget]

I personally do not like using multiboxes, or at least I find them unnecessary, especially in this case since we can fit the effects in one box just fine while keeping it coherent

Credit tab sizing is noted

[upbeat widget]

My description philosophy is that Multiboxes are only necessary if a Joker's effect is very complex and involves several moving parts (at which point the effect should really be reconsidered, at least for mods like Oblivion); Oblivion's Jokers don't have that complexity, like Air Strike is pretty simple; it:

1. Targets 10s
2. Manipulates their bonus XMult
   and that's it

[dull flicker]

I guess my issue is then the wording for Airstrike. Maybe it should be a tad clearer it removes perma xmult from all sources and not just what air strike provides? Completely understand if you want to maintain theming however.

[dull flicker]

What I mean to be more specific is that since this, I believe, is the only one to use the term stockpile, it is not inconceivable for someone to believe that stockpile specifically refers to the xmult given by this Joker to the cards

[upbeat widget]

Hmm

This might be an oversight

@loud perch should air strike only be removing the xmult that it has given 10s?

[tight dove]

https://github.com/hexacryonic/Oblivion/pull/6

[upbeat widget]

that check's causing crashes with amulet installed?

actually maybe that failsafe is needed

just in case

actually i'll just inquire for future reference in other development; @tight dove is the talisman check (pre-pr) crashing even/especially with amulet?

[tight dove]

no talisman

[upbeat widget]

Merged, thank you for your PR

...but why is SMODS.Mods.Talisman existing with amulet?????

[loud perch]

yeah

[dull flicker]

If that's the case, it should be an easy fix, just give it another variable when you increase the card's xmult then subtract that number from the xmult when played

[upbeat widget]

I was considering color-coding "stockpile" so that the color can be used on "resets" to clarify that only the stockpile is reset

[upbeat widget]

but regardless this has been implemented

[grand pumice]

how oblivious!

[tight dove]

So mods that rely on talisman don't need to have explicitly have amulet support

[upbeat widget]

I see
