Ascēnsiō v.0.1.1

[silent mirage]

Probably won't be of any help

[safe sapphire]

Like I said earlier, I will launch the server tomorrow regardless. Hopefully, it is still small enough that it won't really be an issue.

Next thing I want to do, mod-wise, since we have the first release, is work on the Numina cards. I think there is some serious potential there. I am debating on increasing the scope of their effects outside of just making exotic Jokers.

[silent mirage]

Okay now hear me out
What if we can ascend an exotic

But it's very tricky

I'll need to prepare a... Ritual

[thin heron]

i cant believe ascensio release is real

[worn kindle]

perhaps... a seance

[silent mirage]

Perhaps, a Priestess

[safe sapphire]

Ascēnsiō v.0.1.1

Apologies, redoing the release as I was unfamiliar with how the GItHub tag system worked.

[safe sapphire]

I need to fix the seance exotic first. As a quick fix, I'm gonna make it need a 1 in 8 chance to work.

[silent mirage]

Are you familiar with git tags

Or just git in general

Also I should work on cardanim lsp support

[safe sapphire]

I figured it out now. Gonna redo 0.1.0

[safe sapphire]

Whats the deal with this section in seance?

---@return boolean
function string:startswith(pat)
    return string.sub(self, 1, string.len(pat)) == pat
end```

[silent mirage]

Oh yeah that's some leftover helper function

The comments above are luacats

[safe sapphire]

So it doesn't do anything?

[silent mirage]

You can safely remove it

[safe sapphire]

Ok

[silent mirage]

I wish I were good with my words

I'll just let AI write docs for me tbh

Fiddling with mlua rn

[safe sapphire]

Ascēnsiō v.0.1.0

v.0.1.0 is actually out in a finished state. This is the last time I am adding something last minute like this.

[worn kindle]

due to the nature of including jokers in descriptions, the kidnapping side bar gets another column

i love readability removal

[rich merlin]

good god

just dont have the ascension candidate popup unless its the main joker ig

[safe sapphire]

I definetly am gonna get a solution for this

[rich merlin]

[safe sapphire]

Finished filling out the Joker text on the wiki. Just need to put in the images

[silent mirage]

also can you schedule an update to the brainstorm excel

[safe sapphire]

I will also do that tomorrow. I will get the new jokers added to cryptid on there, mark complete the Jokers that were added, and at least look through a few suggestions.

[peak escarp]

Mortal exotic ideas made in the dead of night and might be crap

-# Scalae - double scale

-# Iterum -> epic joker that i don't have a name for that gives retriggers to every card and makes cards give +mult.

-# Universum -> Planetarium (rare) - makes planet cards gain +10 chips and +1 mult when leveled up per time they've been played in a run (maybe by how many times that planet card has been used?)

-# Stella mortis -> Empire (???) - destroys Earth cards (maybe also those found in packs) and gains Xmult every time.

-# Exponentia -> Parabola (epic) - gains +mult when +chips is triggered. Gains smaller Xmult when +mult is triggered. Gains MUCH smaller ^mult when Xmult is triggered. Does not trigger itself.

-# Speculo -> Magic Mirror (Uncommon or rare) - Creates a negative copy of a random joker (excluding itself) when boss blind is defeated. Will destroy a random joker whenever this happens, unless that joker has a negative copy.

-# Efficarce - Dealer (rare) - Draw 10 extra cards when blind is selected.

-# Redeo - Clocking In (uncommon or rare) - -1 ante after rerolling in the shop 6 times in a row. (Requirement increases by 1 every trigger.)

-# Tenebris - Negative joker.

-# Ace Æquilibrium - Stack of jokers (Uncommon) - When hand is played, create a joker (in the order of collection.)

-# Facile - Head Start (Uncommo ) - X3 mult if less than 10 cards have been drawn to hand this round.

-# Energia - Diet cola

And all the rest have a thing...

[silent mirage]

oh hell yeah

[safe sapphire]

Also, since I had to create gif for the wiki, here's one for exotic code joker if you want it

Still need to add the nes deck and sleeve as well as the new entropy Jokers to the wiki, but for now I will leave it be

[fervent sierra]

Mortal Iterum
Retriggers all played cards
Cards give their chip value as +Mult when scored

[silent mirage]

regex is the bane of my existence

[silent mirage]

back to rebalance some jonklers

[rapid ibex]

I think the magic mirror one should be epic

ok nvm I've reread it again

maybe rare then

[silent mirage]

r

[silent mirage]

@safe sapphire ^ what do you think?

[wintry owl]

make it create a normal ass spectral if it fails

[silent mirage]

where do i get a card pack placeholder

[nocturne ridge]

?

[silent mirage]

No idea man, but probably g seed is the current gameseed

[nocturne ridge]

Maybe, but these are wrong for 2 reasons.

[silent mirage]

Unfortunate, not my fault

git blame it

[nocturne ridge]

Yes, I'm aware, I was just looking at the most recent commit.

[silent mirage]

Sometimes Idk what editor does Mario uses

[silent mirage]

WHERE IS ASCENSIO GITHUB

[silent mirage]

Carcinoma

[silent mirage]

Hmmm is this textmate

[silent mirage]

Guys

The server

Is almost there

[safe sapphire]

Here is the link: https://discord.gg/MPZ3kMHd2a. Hopefully, things go smoothly

Most conversations will move over there, but I'll keep an eye here regardless

[safe sapphire]

Can you explain as to why its wrong?

[nocturne ridge]

Firstly, you shouldn't be appending G.SEED to every probability check, Secondly, you should be using the new SMODS probability functions.

[safe sapphire]

Can we get this pinned?

[grizzled tiger]

no

[opal hazel]

this is so sad i'm

hey how would like to be credited as?

devastatingly late to this but if we're still doing these can I get #236400 (text) and #48CF00 (bg) for credit colours?

[silent mirage]

join the server bro

[opal hazel]

I am there but uhh didn't know what channel to post that request on

[silent mirage]

ping mario in anywhere

rules are only loosely enforced anyway

as long as ur not a frick and not obviously breaking rules ur good

[opal hazel]

oke will do so fro next time

[brisk violet]

Idk if this was seen or not but.

Insatiable Dagger --> Fames Insatiabilis

Meaning: Insatiable Hunger

Effect: Banish all jokers to the right of this joker, 5% of their sell value in ^Value to all joker to the left of this one.

[silent mirage]

Epitachyno be like

[brisk violet]

Whats that?

[brisk violet]

Yeah i see it. But it is a bit diffrent as Fames is really good for joker thining

[silent mirage]

We have a thing for that and it's called a sell button

[brisk violet]

But the sold joker can appear in the shop again. If i remember correctly a banished jocker is removed from the shop fro the rest of the run

[silent mirage]

Too bad then, I don't plan to fiddle with Entropy libraries rn

Feels free to make a pr

[brisk violet]

It twas only an idea.

[silent mirage]

Play Arknights

IS THAT HANDROMEDA??!

some of these references are rad

dawh cant play the mod with my current modpack it instantly crashes when i select a card

Ascēnsiō v.0.1.1

New release for Ascensio to make it compatible with the newest SMODS.

[winter bear]

Not sure if this is known, but this setting isn't working

as evidenced by the one joker I have

Gateway absolutely devoured my jokers

[silent mirage]

only ascension work for now

[bleak shard]

hey what's the best way to get rid of 800 identical playing cards, i've made a small mistake and would like my computer to continue functioning

actually it's probably too late and i should cast the run into the fires

[river fjord]

the only way to fix this is to make 800 more

[quiet musk]

Ideas:
Loyalty Card: X1 Mult for every hand you have this card, adds X1 Mult to amount given at end of round (Currently X1 Mult)
8-Ball: When an 8 is scored, create a Spectral card (must have room)
Dusk: Retrigger all cards on final hand of round for how many hands you had at the start of the round (by default this is 4 retriggers)
Raised Fist: Adds the value of your lowest ranked card held in hand to this XMult (currently X1 Mult)
Chaos the Clown: Rerolls start at $-10
Steel Joker: Gains ^0.2 Mult for every Steel card in full deck

Delayed Gratification: Doubles money once for every discard left unused at end of round (for example leaving 2 discards unused quadruples your money)

Pareidolia: All cards are considered Jacks, Queens, and Kings at the same time

Hack: Gains ^0.1 Mult every 2, 3, 4, or 5 played, retriggers every 2, 3, 4, or 5 played

Scholar: Played Aces give X2 Chips and X4 Mult

[grizzled tiger]

raised fist X loses its original activation context here, making it a different kind of niche

how about this:

adds double the highest rank as XMult (activated like a steel card)

[quiet musk]

That works too

Business Card: Played face cards have a 1 in 2 chance of X2 Money

[grizzled tiger]

delicious econ

[quiet musk]

Supernova: Adds the amount of times poker hand has been played /10 to ^Mult

[grizzled tiger]

maybe make this one powmult

[quiet musk]

Ride the Bus: Gains ^0.1 Mult for every consecutive hand that doesn’t contain a face card

[grizzled tiger]

it doesnt get crazy with xmult until you play a single hand like 30 times

[quiet musk]

based on that feedback I also changed Ride the Bus

[grizzled tiger]

maybe 0.1 * the number of times

[quiet musk]

Burglar: When Blind is selected, lose all discards and gain 3 hands for every discard lost this way

[grizzled tiger]

• Face cards give this Joker's ^Mult when scoring before this Joker resets

:)

[quiet musk]

oooh

[grizzled tiger]

scaling but you can collapse the scaling at the right time to giga-nuke a blind

[quiet musk]

lmao

[grizzled tiger]

also i'd make this +^0.1 because of that

[quiet musk]

Splash: Every played card counts in scoring and contributes to ascension power

[grizzled tiger]

Oh shit, ascension power is good

But that's basically just Hyperspace Tether

[quiet musk]

yeah

[grizzled tiger]

what about +3 ascension power per card that normally wouldn't score

Splash X

• Every played card counts in scoring
• Cards that normally wouldn't score contribute +2 Ascension Power to hand and +1 when scored

it's like having three Hyperspace Tethers now sorta kinda

there, made it even more nuts

[quiet musk]

Sixth Sense: Every played or held in hand 6 creates a Spectral card

Hiker: Doubles chips of played cards

Riff-Raff: Create 2 random Jokers at start of blind or when hand played

(no longer limited to common jokers)

[grizzled tiger]

riff raff is just ace aeq lmao

a couple of rename ideas:

AP Joker: Obstacula Desinunt Esse (Obstacles Cease to Exist)
Meteor Shower: Procidens Luna (The Falling Moon)
Exoplanet: Mundus Remotus (The Remote World)
Stardust: Sol Fractionis (The Breaking Sun)
Universe: Magnus Blastus (~The Big Bang)

Happy House: Domus in Fine Temporis (The House at the End of Time)

[gleaming echo]

the art for the omen card is messed up

[safe sapphire]

Thats odd, the 2x texture probably wasn't scaled. WIll get on it this weekend

[gleaming echo]

also how do i get ascension without the starlight deck

[safe sapphire]

It should be able to be found in spectral packs very rarely. Still need to add it to the gamba pack

[gleaming echo]

looking at the brainstorm spreadsheet this has so much planned

[gleaming echo]

already got one in my first game with this mod. i then duplicated it with ctrl+v

also slight issue, ascension cant be used if you use quantify on it

[quiet musk]

more ascension ideas
Vampire: Remove all modifications(Enhancements, Editions, Seals and Stickers) from scoring cards, gain ^0.1 Mult for every modification removed this way

Photograph: First face card scores gives ^2 Mult

Fortune Teller: X1 Mult per used Tarot card

Stone Joker: Gives X5 Chips for every Stone card in your full deck

Lucky Cat: Earn ^0.2 Mult for every time a Lucky card successfully triggers
Fixed 1 in 2 chance to Rig played Lucky Cards when scored

[desert grove]

Birthday Cake isn't working properly for me. It's only giving me one free reroll after I get it, and doesn't make rerolls free after Boss Blinds.

[silent mirage]

I've already resolved it

like pretty long time ago

[tawdry trail]

So i do have this mod in my balatro files but everytime i go to collections for the joker cards it keeps crashing

[silent mirage]

Send logs

[tawdry trail]

Just tried it again and it's not crashing anymore

[gilded vigil]

eruca ad spatium(rocket to space/rocket's ascended form):

X1.5 total money at end of round, increases multiplier by X{ante} whenever a boss blind is defeated

basically, starts out weaker than purus aurum, but very quickly outpaces them thanks to both not being luck-reliant and also just scaling faster, just like rocket and golden joker's relationship in the base game(well, outside fo the luck reliance part)

also, playing any hand with taurus seems to crash my game because it tried to 'compare number with table', no clue but i thought i'd point it out lol

[spiral hazel]

Hi. I found a crash with Musa Acuminata (the Gros Michel ascended form), that specifically occurs only when it's duplicating itself. Whenever the duplication chance lands, the game crashes, and I don't know why. Here's the crash logs if you need them:

It could be an issue with one of the mods I have installed, but outside of Ascēnsiō and Cryptid, I don't have any other content mods, everything else is either QOL or dependencies.

[gilded vigil]

yeah, similar crash happens with taurus when doing an anything(playing a hand), which makes playing with taurus literally impossible

[keen radish]

can i find any wiki for this mod?

[coarse blade]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Ascēnsiō

[ashen turret]

whenever i play a card with the ascended bull it crashes

oh

[ashen turret]

i really like the look of the ascended jokers

[ashen turret]

especially the ascended banner

[gilded vigil]

my favorite is handromeda(ascended high five)

[gilded vigil]

new Invisible joker exotic crash lol

occurs specifically when you hover over the card, crashes in both runs and in collection

[safe sapphire]

I noticed that too. I hope to get a fix out for it soon.

[gilded vigil]

nice! I honestly can't wait to see what it does properly!

[safe sapphire]

Fixed the local var issue. Let me know if there is a problem with functionality.

[gilded vigil]

well, outside of an infinite joker loop happening in what seems to be an uber-niche crossmod scenario, the joker works just fine!

[gilded vigil]

new issue: contra logos seems to count every card played so long as your hand contains a 7 or a 4. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but the joker description definitely doesn't indicate that being the case.

[safe sapphire]

What mod do you believe is causing the cross mod issue?

[gilded vigil]

Honestly, I am not entirely sure, but the culprit may be that changing the values on the joker seems to make it spontaneously duplicate. If you somehow have it constantly raising, it infinitely loops. i'd have to test it further because it might just be a problem with the paya's terrible additions mod or could proc on other value raising jokers, though non-constant value raises might be less capable of infinitely creating exotic invisible jokers.

[celest wraith]

[ashen turret]

it sure is

[tight lark]

[fading lance]

[tight lark]

where is his face :(

[safe sapphire]

I will look into it

[fading lance]

not added yet lol

[tight lark]

[silk plover]

ideas (names are bad): Debilis- disable every boss blind, boss blinds size is /2, which increasing by .5 every ante. exotic version of chicot.
cucurbita- +9 sell value of every consumable at the end of the round, increase this operator for every 2 consumable slots you have (not counting those from negative consumables), capping at exponentiation. exotic version of mellowcreme
exemplum- at the end of the round, create a negative code card. ^1.03 mult and chips per code card in your posession. exotic version of blender.
magister- -2 chips and -2 mult. increase both operators for each ace scored, capping at exponentiation. if there are more than 3 aces scored, then each ace scored afterwards triggers the effect. reset after hand played. exotic version of scholar

Request to rename Tolle Off to Stella Navis (Star Ship)

[fading lance]

nowhere close, im the uh, guy who code newer stuffs in this mod

we had plans for 0.2 but looks like has to be delayed

[wild fox]

Until…

[fading lance]

until i can get some lab rat so i can test incredibly stupid ideas on them

[wild fox]

Meeeeee

[fading lance]

ya sure?

so no then

abscēnsciō

[earnest spade]

why cant i use the ascencion ?

[wintry owl]

i believe you have to select the joker you want to ascend

[safe sapphire]

Doing some debugging and art today for the mod, so let me know if you have any issues that still need to be resolved

[river sluice]

oh yeah, did we already decide on what to do if cryptid isn't installed but cryptlib is

crashes when you hover over any mod icon in mods but it does boot to title screen

[celest wraith]

are we getting more updates 😢

[safe sapphire]

Yes, I do plan on at least getting the mod to a point where each Joker has an ascension. The issue is that things have been unstable scheduling wise for me for a while now. I wish I could give a date as to when I expect it to be out, but I can't at this time. Will try to have it done before the offical Balatro update though.

[main epoch]

Is it expected that the new balatro update will break it in some way?

[safe sapphire]

It's possible since it currently requires cryptid and it greatly modifes the base game. I have hope that it will mostly stay in tack with an smods update.

[burnt oxide]

ascensio is not playing nice with the newest smods update 🙁 (1224a)

crashing when triggering jokers

tested with the 2 pair/3 of a kind scaling jokers

[burnt oxide]

@safe sapphire sorry for bothering but what are the odds of a fix for the new smods

[safe sapphire]

I didnt realize there was an issue. Will look into it.

[safe sapphire]

Sorry, have been busy. Will try to fix this tommorrow

[burnt oxide]

Thanks boss love your mods

[safe sapphire]

Working on this now, which jokers in specific did in specific did you notice have this problem?

[burnt oxide]

I noticed the pair/3 of a kind jokers having this problem. When they scale up the game crashes. On vacation so I hope this sends eventually lol

Im not sure the name im not home atm but it was the exotic jokers that buffed pair/2pair/3of a kind that scale when played

[safe sapphire]

You mean like the type mult and type chip Jokers? These ones?

[burnt oxide]

Yea I believe so. Are those the ones that perma scale up when triggered?

[safe sapphire]

They are the ones they gain xmult for playing the hand, reset when you dont, and levels up the repective hand at the end of the round

[burnt oxide]

Yes those ones. Was having issues with the xchips ones as well

[safe sapphire]

Gotcha

[safe sapphire]

Ok, updated my setup to the latest cryptid, smods, and talisman. I think part of the issue was resolved when cryptid updated and testing on the new version 0.5.14. I avoided a crash that happened when just updating smods that way. When you get home from vacation and are still facing the same issues after updating, please send me a copy of your crashlog so I can narrow down the issue a bit more. Thanks for your help in trying to make the mod better.

[burnt oxide]

Sounds good thank you for the heads up!

[burnt oxide]

Just got back. Can confirm everything running smoothly! Not sure if i missed an update on talisman or something but I just started from scratch. Appreciate looking into it regardless

[dense escarp]

Another idea for Exotic Nostalgic Candy:
Superpotentiae
When selling any card, create Negative Eternal Copies of One for All equal to the square root of the sell value of the card sold

[dawn dragon]

Gula isn't doing what it says it does

It says that "Played cards with Club suit give ^1.2 Mult when scored" and "Cards with Club Suit held in hand also score", but the held in hand cards also give ^1.2 mult

Which is inaccurate to what it says

It would be accurate if the Played was removed from its description

[safe sapphire]

Apologies, thank you for informing me. Will look into it

[dawn dragon]

Also might want to look into preventing every joker that brings up an ascension candidate as a text bubble from displaying the ascension candidate text. Like all the m jokers which mention jolly jokers also bringing up the ascension candidate text bubble even though the m jokers are not capable of being ascended

[dawn dragon]

Fortunae Risus should probably say in small text that it cannot rig itself

[nocturne ridge]

What would cards held in hand also score mean then?

[dawn dragon]

It means the cards that are scored, which includes both played and scoring as well as held in hand scoring

[nocturne ridge]

No, score here would mean that the cards held in hand score as if they were played, confirmed by this message: #1233186615086813277 message

Therefore Played should not be removed from the description, as other jokers would still have Played in their description.

[dawn dragon]

Ok, I was saying that the description is odd

The description makes it sound like only the played and scoring cards give the mult bonus

Since that is how balatro in general uses played and scored as a term

So I said that the term played should be removed from the description so that it is more accurate to the effect

[nocturne ridge]

Yes, so does every other joker that activates on those conditions, yet those still trigger, also the mult triggering from a played effect is different from the mult triggering as a held in hand effect, because of retriggers.

[dawn dragon]

Ok

I concede, obviously it seems I lack significant investment in making a convincing argument of why played should not be a part of the description

[dawn dragon]

New Bug: Hyacintho Progressus cannot duplicate negatives if joker slots are full

Also it has the side effect of giving extra joker slots when it duplicates negatives

[wintry rock]

Happy birthday to Ascensio

[jaunty pendant]

is there a list for every joker that the exotics reference

[wintry rock]

I don't think so

[safe sapphire]

On the wiki, we have most of them, and they include what Joker they ascned from if that is what you mean.

[safe sapphire]

I want to thank @solar jewel for going out of their way to add a Simplified Chinese localization for the mod. I believe it will help the mod reach new audiences that it otherwise wouldn't have. I am beyond thankful to them for going out of their way to do this, and they have my sincerest appreciation. I will try to make the mod worthy of that effort.
