RTGame BalaRTo Pack Collab

[runic turtle]

which one?

[pulsar kite]

Right

[timid bear]

Agreed

[cyan violet]

right

you can make a joke with the left one having the breaking bad filter

[pulsar kite]

you mean the mexico filter

[warm grail]

Check pins

[warm grail]

Just overwriting an existing one

[summer wyvern]

I'm thinking of replacing my antimatter voucher with this reference to the last Indiana Jones stream
if it's possible could someone just put it in the game to see how it looks

[serene jetty]

@cyan violet how are you cards doing?

[blissful wedge]

it breaks

[summer wyvern]

I might see if I could tweak the colours to make it work better when I can

[blissful wedge]

i cant seem to figure out what is making the glow affect

[serene jetty]

We got 2-3 days until the deadline

[keen bolt]

four booster packs left, the two spectrals and the vouchers

[summer wyvern]

I think I might work on the unfinished vouchers

[woven mason]

I might get to work on some boosters

Time to get on that graphics design grindset

Also emmmmm

Can someone make a pixel art M for my jumbo celestial pack

[woven mason]

Nvm got the M done

[summer wyvern]

I made temp versions of Hone and Glowup that could be thrown in if the hit the deadline before the actual ones are made
I'm not going to submit them yet as there's still time before the deadline

I went for a Civ 7 stream theme

[woven mason]

Jumbo celestial pack 2 done
No image so no plagiarism 🙂

[spare osprey]

Um

Is it a good idea to replace the actual name of the pack

It looks good tho

[timid bear]

It depends what we did for the others

Its gotta be consistent whatever we do

[woven mason]

The other Jumbo Celestial did that first so I just took inspiration

[timid bear]

Are those the only two like that? If so we should switch it back to the normal wording so it's consistent

[woven mason]

Who cares about consistency 🙂

[timid bear]

Uhhhm we should if we're making it an actual mod lmao

Which someone seems to be working on

[woven mason]

I think it's better if it's like this

[timid bear]

I disagree but

[radiant nimbus]

I think names of things are probably best kept the same

[timid bear]

Yeaaah

@warm grail whatchu think about this whole thing

[radiant nimbus]

If we ever wanted to make a mod with custom cards and packs, it also means what's new is less confusing

[timid bear]

That's true

[woven mason]

Don't forget you can hover over it and it'll show what it is btw

[radiant nimbus]

But thats just theoretical future proofing if that never happens it's still good to stick to the normal names

[keen bolt]

fun fact

[radiant nimbus]

I suppose but changing the name in one place and not another also seems a bit funky

[keen bolt]

the "jumbo" on the vanilla packs, at least on the buffoon packs, is misaligned by one pixel to the left

[timid bear]

[warm grail]

Keep the og name of the pack

Keeps it consistent with the other packs

[timid bear]

Thank you, oh wise leader

[keen bolt]

i agree

[woven mason]

I'm not gonna spend all that time making custom text for it to just be scrapped

Either custom text or no celestial pack

[timid bear]

????

Yikes okay

Or someone else can edit the image

[warm grail]

@modest kayak @cyan violet How's progress on your stuff?

[woven mason]

Removed it so this doesn't happen, I MADE IT, I'M KEEPING IT THAT WAY

[cyan violet]

all i can say that is with the weekend here i can work on my stuff (my week was kinda packed)

[keen bolt]

can we please stop pinging them every day

this is the second time today

[cyan violet]

i dont mind

[warm grail]

I last pinged em like 3 days ago

[keen bolt]

crispy pings cass like every day

just feels like it would be annoying

[woven mason]

I'm making the normal spectral packs but I'm only going to submit them if my custom text is kept, I ain't a goddamn QUITTER

[timid bear]

??????

Or you could just edit it back?

[woven mason]

You think I'm just gonna do that?

[timid bear]

It's better then giving an ultimatum

:/

[woven mason]

I'd rather give the ultimatum then have my hard work go to fucking waste

[timid bear]

It won't go to waste if you edit it back??

[woven mason]

WHAT ABOUT MAKING THE FUCKING TEXT??????

[keen bolt]

that's enough

[warm grail]

If he doesn't want them used under x circumstances its fine

[keen bolt]

not something to yell about

how long did you spend making that text

[timid bear]

Alrighty

[woven mason]

Longer than I'm willint to waste

[keen bolt]

i was hoping to look at the image again to see if something could work but ig not

uhhh how would it look if we added both texts on it

"celestial pack" in its usual spot and the "minecraft server" above it maybe?

[woven mason]

I shoulda expected coorperation with anyone'd be so difficult considering my past experiences with tryna cooperate with others

But I overestimate myself

A LOT

[keen bolt]

egg it's not that deep

[timid bear]

Egg it's nothing personal

[keen bolt]

i personally like the text but removing the "celestial pack" makes it inconsistent, which we'd rather not have

so we're trying to figure out what to do

[timid bear]

We appreciate the work you did, we are just trying to have consistency in the pack

[keen bolt]

also nobody's going to plagiarize your image

[timid bear]

Your design is more then welcome,.you'd just have to go back to the previous wording

[woven mason]

You guys don't goddamn realise what I'm yapping about, NO CHANGES TO WHAT I SUBMITTED, OR NO SPECTRAL PACK

celestial

you absolute idiot RB

[timid bear]

?????

[woven mason]

Told ya

[timid bear]

Okay, maybe let's calm down here, no need for name calling

[warm grail]

Alright lets just drop this

[woven mason]

So are you going to accept my design, AS. IT. IS?

[timid bear]

No

[keen bolt]

not if you're going to act like this

[timid bear]

^

[keen bolt]

yelling won't solve anything

[woven mason]

I'm sick of everything

[keen bolt]

we'll leave it for later then

[woven mason]

Anyways I don't have the energy to argue anymore, considering it's 50 minutes, past eleven PM, so bye

[keen bolt]

goodnight

[warm grail]

Well I have been relooking over the packs
The 2 bits of inconsistency are the other jumbo celestial and inconsistency consistency of the standard jumbos & megas
I'll think it over for the celestial one
What was the designs for the spectral ones?

[woven mason]

I'm gonna be up for too long I got up a 17 today

I'll wait to see if yous change your minds on my hard work

[keen bolt]

the text on planet cupcake looks very blurry

[woven mason]

Lítur vel út fyrir mér

[keen bolt]

hm

not on the file itself

[warm grail]

No that just how stuff in aseprite can look zoomed out
Its not actually blurry

[keen bolt]

ah

yet another downside of using 2x size

@woven mason could you repost your pack please

i wanna try something

[woven mason]

No bc you're just gonna remove the custom text I worked on

That M was the bane of my goddamn existence

[keen bolt]

i just want to see if i can make it work better

there's no need to be aggressive

[woven mason]

Enjoy Layer 10 and 11

That's all you're getting

[keen bolt]

i suppose i'll ask again tomorrow then

[woven mason]

bc you're too dastardly to accept the artist's vision

[woven mason]

I will hold onto this goddamn grudge for YEARS if yous keep thinking my design is inferior

[keen bolt]

nobody thinks your design is inferior

i do really like what you did with it

[timid bear]

Yeah, same

[keen bolt]

i'm just wondering if it's possible to make it fit better

this is a collaborative project, which means everyone collaborates

and more importantly, they don't start yelling at people when criticized

[timid bear]

This

[keen bolt]

all we said is that it might not fit with most of the other packs due to the text being removed, nobody said anything about your art being inferior and whatnot

and i have an idea that might make it fit better

[west comet]

My distinguished fam, the hell happened here lmao

[woven mason]

These goobertons are too goshdarn strict

[west comet]

Not really um

[woven mason]

But anyways here's my new submission for the jumbo celestial pack

[west comet]

no offense but I think you're taking this wrongly

[keen bolt]

please enough

nothing's going to get solved

[woven mason]

Yeah thi is the most likely scenario

[keen bolt]

please get some rest or something egg, you're not yourself

[spare osprey]

Wtf happened here

[keen bolt]

nothing that needs mentioning anymore

[woven mason]

Considering I've ben up for about seven hours, I'd say I'm perfectly OK and this is just my average reaction when I suffer the smallest inconvenience

[keen bolt]

then could you please cooperate a little and send the image again so i can try and make it a little more consistent

i won't remove the text, i just wanna see if i can make it fit a bit better

[woven mason]

I hate this year

[keen bolt]

i'm just asking nicely

if you won't cooperate then your image won't be added

you've already been very rude

[west comet]

-# adding to this, as a team I don't really think we should gatekeep content to ourselves

[woven mason]

I'm just tryna actually have a good goddamn night

Y'know what, have it, and enjoy the thirty goddamn layers I slapped on it just to piss you off

Oh also, hope you have paint.net

[west comet]

ok that's just rude mate, uncool

-# (still– yeah as Fen said: thanks)

[keen bolt]

thank you

but yeah that's unneccesary

[warm grail]

For the shop sprite should I have it cover the whole thing or just the text?

[woven mason]

Question, how does one make a completely separate file for localization without overriding existing ones

[keen bolt]

just the text

[warm grail]

Don't know

[woven mason]

Then how'd you do the youtube one?

[warm grail]

I made a seperate folder for that stuff

and each time I want to use one or the other I just overwrite the archive with either folder

[woven mason]

Ook this sounds too complicated for me

Submitted normal spectral pack 1 that is going to cause another hour-long-argument bc I know how you guys think

[timid bear]

Why would you do that

Try and cause another argument like why

[woven mason]

I'M NOT TRYNA START ANOTHER ARGUMENT

[timid bear]

You just said x.x

[woven mason]

This is EXACTLY WHAT I SAID'D HAPPEN

YOU'RE STARTING

AN ARGUMENT

[keen bolt]

nobody started any argument

[timid bear]

@wanton cedar hi hello I think some moderation might be helpful here. Sorry for the ping

😭

I'm just tired of this hostility

[woven mason]

Why do I even try to contribute to anything anymore

[keen bolt]

how does this look

makes it clearer that it's a celestial pack

egg what do you think

[timid bear]

Yeah but then we have the same inconsistency problem

With the names

[keen bolt]

no i think it's fine

[west comet]

Oh hey it's been a hot minute since I've seen that stream of the planet build, noicee

[keen bolt]

a few don't respect it already anyway, the bigger issue was we couldn't tell what pack it was at a glance

[timid bear]

I asked Chris and he said he'd prefer if we kept things consistent 😭

[woven mason]

It's got gargantual planets so I think it defo is a celestial pack even without the
ahh line

gargantuan

[keen bolt]

fair but still

[woven mason]

I can't spell jack shit

[timid bear]

So we gotta find a compromise that meets consistency and the art

[keen bolt]

tbh i like it like that

[timid bear]

Okay but again that's not what we agreed on x.x

[woven mason]

Is it bad the first thing I thought of when you read this is the Sudetenland

[serene jetty]

Does that mean we should redo the ones that are just a png slapped on the card?

[timid bear]

Nah, it's just in terms of the pack names

[keen bolt]

it's not like many of them are consistent anyway

[timid bear]

The pack names should be consistent

[keen bolt]

there's like four that don't have the name

[timid bear]

I thought they were,.all but two?

[keen bolt]

planet cupcake, doctor who, heartstone and arguably mega standard pack

it's fine if some don't respect it imo

[timid bear]

I guess, whatever gets the arguing to stop

[keen bolt]

what do you suggest then?

[serene jetty]

In my personal opinion, I think The Magician, The Hierophant, The Hermit, and The Devil should be redone

But its fine if they dont

[timid bear]

@warm grail sorry for ping, what chu think
We're just gonna keep those four as is because I don't think the creators want to change then

I'm asking Chris because he's kinda stepped up as the "leader" of the collab

[warm grail]

You know what
Just keep it as and if we are keeping it Lleg booster pack uploads are fine under that standard

[timid bear]

Alrighty

[keen bolt]

huh
i can't read that sorry

[timid bear]

Redone to what and why

[serene jetty]

New vs old

[serene jetty]

To not be just a png

[timid bear]

Oooo okay

[serene jetty]

The characters are fine

[west comet]

oh so wrong type of file then

[serene jetty]

Thoughts?

[timid bear]

Rt did say he did like the random pngs mixed in with the actual art, gives it character

[serene jetty]

True, but I really think at least The Magician should be redone so it at least has the tarot card background

[timid bear]

Can probably ping the owner of it

[serene jetty]

The Hermit too

[west comet]

the new one is the one on the right?

[serene jetty]

@runic turtle are you open to redoing The Magician? Gandalf is fine, just so it has the background the other tarot cards have

[serene jetty]

Yea

Wait no

[west comet]

oh gotcha yeah I prefer it

[serene jetty]

I said new vs old

[west comet]

sadge, No yeah that one follow the colour scheme

[keen bolt]

@woven mason i don't think you told me what you think about this one

[woven mason]

looks like 🪐

[keen bolt]

not sure what to make of that

i'm just gonna submit it if that's okay

wait i just realised what the level one and two booster packs reference

that's silly

[serene jetty]

@warm grail Venus planet card has been tweaked

[keen bolt]

wouldn't it be simpler to recolour the done from purple back to green to mark it was updated?

[woven mason]

Level Two

[warm grail]

That also helps but a ping is the most effective way to alert me

[keen bolt]

alright

[woven mason]

We're just one buffoon pack away from finishing the booster packs

Anyways all the other incomplete non-optional things rn are claimed so guess now I get to take a break from having to deal with socialization

[keen bolt]

alright

take care

[woven mason]

Whaddyouz think of my spectral packs btw

[keen bolt]

very silly

i like them

[woven mason]

+rep to anyone who can find me just expressing myself in their art

[warm grail]

The Youtube Pack Is Done
https://youtu.be/fkYjUM5ld0M

The current zip for testing

[woven mason]

You should just swap out a random joker with a picture of RT's face

[serene jetty]

@warm grail can this become the Gift Card joker? Since nothing of it was really changed other than the name on the card

[woven mason]

Also since you know what you're doing can you be the one to assemble the google translated one

[pulsar kite]

Im drunk to ghe point of seeing dubble so everything thats being discusdef ud aproved by me

[woven mason]

Bro is absotely wasted

absolutely I cannot spell

[warm grail]

Sure
Just upload it in the right dimensions

[pulsar kite]

12 beer in lol

[woven mason]

Whaddya tghink of the google treanslated pack

idea

[keen bolt]

probably not relevant to us

also probably done before at this point?

[warm grail]

idk if we need one for it

It prob already exists

[woven mason]

I'm not believing it exists till I have a photo

Not finding it anywhere

[runic turtle]

Oh woah :D

That is very satisfying to see

[woven mason]

THAT'S THE BOOSTERS DONE

[serene jetty]

@warm grail uploaded

[runic turtle]

yeah, thank you for hopping in!!

[serene jetty]

I dont know how to make it not blurry

[runic turtle]

I wasn't sure how long I could keep going with the boosters

[serene jetty]

Matan, i got one more job for you

[runic turtle]

was there a contract? :P

[woven mason]

Oh yeah if you count the placeholders for H&GU as well as the temp done spectrals, we technically have all the main cards, only need the new complete works and then we are READY TO GO

[runic turtle]

go a head lol, what you had in mind

[serene jetty]

Do you mind redoing The Magician card?

Using Lego Gandalf is fine though

[serene jetty]

We still have two vounchers left

[runic turtle]

You mean... you want to redraw Gandalf?

if you want to give it a go, go ahead

[serene jetty]

I mean like make the colors fit more and remove the background

[woven mason]

If you mean H&GU we already have some placeholders

[timid bear]

Casse said they'd get to it this weekend

So we can be patient and wait for them

[woven mason]

Oor hang on a sec

[woven mason]

Aight nice

[runic turtle]

eh, it seems alright be honest with ya

if you want to suggest a design, go ahead and give it a shot

...I see there was a little heating up here in chat while I was gone.

Please be patient with each other.
This is a great cause the texture pack, and we've had a lot good time with it.
lets see it through to the end with fun, its not all must be perfect :D

If I missed anything else in the last few messages, lmk

Apart from that, hope you all have a great weekend,
looking forward seeing our final outcome 💖

[serene jetty]

how is this?

@jovial spruce do you mind if I redo the Hermit and Hierophant tarot cards so they aren't just PNGs?

@summer wyvern do you mind if I redo The Devil tarot card, or at the very least change the background?

[summer wyvern]

Go ahead

Honestly it's probably the worst of all my cards

[wanton cedar]

@woven mason I'm afraid I'm going to have to give you a warning for not being respectful to others.
Having wishes and requests is fine, but turning to insults is not. You should take a step back or withdraw completely if you cannot handle constructive criticism or don't feel your requests can be met. Being hostile or passive aggressive when they can't be met cannot be tolerated either.

[serene jetty]

@summer wyvern how is this?

[summer wyvern]

Better

[serene jetty]

i just realized, the pixels on these are low quality and the colors are messed up a little so they need to be redone anyways regardless if the design is changed

Also I think the Lovers Tarot card should clarify it's talking about twitch chat's mom

[serene jetty]

@runic turtle added the face

[wanton cedar]

In the future if moderation presence is needed please ping all mods, as it isn't guaranteed that the one mod pinged will be available at any given time

[buoyant light]

I’m reading the messages and uhh…

Yeah thank god the deadline for this is soon

[feral sleet]

yup

its getting a bit...hectic

[serene jetty]

@warm grail the devil has been updated and the Magician might as well, I just need confirmation from matan

[runic turtle]

Oh that looks fantastic, :D
I will try doing a little changes first, but wonderfully done :)

[keen bolt]

It’s nothing to do with the deadline, sometimes people are just hard to work with

[keen bolt]

Ngl i like it more without the face, none of the other tarot cards have faces

[runic turtle]

no idea what caused the heat up that happened.
best be left behind/outside and not pushed forward. thanks 🙏

[keen bolt]

?

Yeah i agree

[runic turtle]

Which one

[timid bear]

2

[timid bear]

Sorry!

Also @warm grail do you think you'd mind including me in the credits, maybe not as an artist but as logistics or something
Idk I feel like I helped a lot with idea brainstorming and stuff like that and it'd be nice to be included y'know? c:

[west comet]

I second this

[west comet]

amazing, the second one (!!!)

[serene jetty]

I think the parts you added should still use the same color palette

[warm grail]

Like a sub organizer?

[runic turtle]

Nah, its fine :)

[serene jetty]

Not really, it breaks the color palette

[runic turtle]

its close enough to the others.

good job with the artifiaction of gandalf

[serene jetty]

Thanks, but I really don't want the color palette randomly broken

[runic turtle]

impressivly done

[runic turtle]

I can revert back to the previous version of the png if you don't like the usage of the colors I added on the piece you made.

other than that, there is no need to keep going.
you are welcome to dm me if you really feel like keep at the conversation

[timid bear]

However you wanna word it

[serene jetty]

@warm grail Hermit and Hierophant need to be redone because they are in compressed and in poor pixel quality and are JPGs

Also Magician and The Devil have been updated

[serene jetty]

Thanks, my version is already uploaded to the drive too

[runic turtle]

meant this one.

[serene jetty]

The shading you added is fine, I just want the colors consistent to the palette I used

[runic turtle]

and answer is no if I wasn't clear.
we finish it at that.

[serene jetty]

Why not?

Why are you being stingy about this simple change

[timid bear]

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with matans design

They don't need to change it

[serene jetty]

I just want a consistent color palette is all

[timid bear]

Welp

Matan doesn't wanna change their design and we don't want a repeat of yesterday

The design is fine

[serene jetty]

:/

[runic turtle]

thanks,
if you have any more discussion you can move it to dm's with me and we can talk there,
I am not gonna keep this conversation here what so ever

[warm grail]

If you want to ask the person who made them if they can redo it you are fine to ask

[serene jetty]

I have

[timid bear]

That's not matans design though

[serene jetty]

Matan said they'd decide which they prefers

[cyan violet]

korok'nt

[serene jetty]

Should his hands be nailed?

[cyan violet]

now to add fire

[cyan violet]

idk if it would be really noticable

[runic turtle]

we got it figured 👌

[runic turtle]

lol

[serene jetty]

Peak!

[serene jetty]

A single gray pixel on his limb could work

Doesn't have to be noticeable

[keen bolt]

i disagree with changing the text but yeah looks nice

[serene jetty]

As long as its visible

Me and Matan agreed on the final design and Magician has now been updated
@warm grail

[cyan violet]

how do i make this look good

[wanton cedar]

This is a general reminder to everyone here.
Be respectful of each other. People have put in a lot of time and thought into designs, and I am seeing a few repeat names who step on other peoples toes - Learn to take a step back and to respect the time and skills (of any level) of others.

This is a fun project. Keep it fun.

[serene jetty]

Maybe without the brackets?

[cyan violet]

that was the og thing but

[keen bolt]

hm

perhaps

[cyan violet]

[keen bolt]

that sure is something, positively

good job

[cyan violet]

i feel like the fire could be improved

[keen bolt]

the fire looks good enough either way

[cyan violet]

okay card done basically only need to submit it but will do later,

[serene jetty]

It's peak!

[west comet]

ye only comment I have it's that the yellow needs to be yellow-er

everything else's perfect

[warm grail]

Updated the current stuff folder

[cyan violet]

yellow-er

[west comet]

there's improvement (!)

can I do my own take on the fire if you don't mind @cyan violet

[cyan violet]

sure

[west comet]

noice, pls send the card

[cyan violet]

you using aseprite?

[west comet]

uh not really Im using an app on my phone called Pixilart

[cyan violet]

damn

guess i need to export to png

[west comet]

yea

[west comet]

@cyan violet

[cyan violet]

looks fine

[west comet]

thanks! whole card's looking good

[cyan violet]

now since you have the file can you submit it?

[west comet]

oh sure thing

[cyan violet]

now what should the description be

[west comet]

"tee hee you found me!" ?

[cyan violet]

too basic and kinda dosent match with the card

i dont think the korok would be too happy bout being crucified

[pure agate]

"oh no you found me! D:"

[cyan violet]

i got it

"He shall suffer for the sins of his kind"

[west comet]

appropriate

Done uploading it

[cyan violet]

and then i use ankha's catchphrase

since she's there

looks about right

[keen bolt]

might i suggest a comma behind "me meow"

[cyan violet]

not before?

[keen bolt]

uh

between it and the rest of the text

[cyan violet]

so before

okay tjere

[keen bolt]

sure

[warm grail]

I have some intial good news

I've somewhat comprehended enough of how to mod that I can have it do the textures
Idk yet how to do the text files though and have it do the splash screen colors though

[runic turtle]

nice :D

[keen bolt]

juggle? tag

@timid bear

[timid bear]

OMG IT LOOKS SO GOOD

[keen bolt]

ik you wanted a fable reference in here somewhere so why not

[timid bear]

Yeeeee thank you!!

[keen bolt]

small update

though actually

the lighting isn't right

much better

[timid bear]

[keen bolt]

final update i promise lmao

d6 tag perchance

[serene jetty]

One more day

Only cards left are Hone and Glow and Immolate

[summer wyvern]

I have a placeholder for Hone and Glow up that could be thrown in if the actual one isn't finished in time

[timid bear]

Today's the deadline so

[cyan violet]

today*

[timid bear]

No no asterik

It is today

So finish up your cards

[summer wyvern]

I thought it was tomorrow
Today's the 9th

[timid bear]

Timezones

Its the 9tb for the Americans, early the tenth for everyone else

[summer wyvern]

Ah

[timid bear]

Chris had it 11:59 on the 9th, which is probably like 8am for Europeans

[summer wyvern]

The hammertime on my end says 3:59
Wasn't sure if it was AM or PM

[timid bear]

Am

[summer wyvern]

Eitherway remind me around 5 or 6 hours before the deadline to throw in my placeholders for Hone/Glow up unless the person who was making them makes them in time

[timid bear]

Mine said 8;59 pm

Well that person is cassedila

That's why I was like, no there's no asterisk on today
It's today lol

[warm grail]

@spare osprey Could you double check the brick set of your deck
I think it may be slightly off center from other suit types

Or atleast the numbers and icons are

[timid bear]

We know that one worked fine though because rt used it on stream

[warm grail]

The spade one is also off

[timid bear]

Or is this another brick version

[warm grail]

Also the king one for diamonds is definitely off

[timid bear]

????

I don't understand because this worked fine when rt streamed it

Like this is the pack he used on stream

And it looked fine

Soooo

I don't think it needs to be changed,. especially so close to the deadline

[keen bolt]

it's offset by a pixel, it's not exactly noticeable

[warm grail]

Well we could still have it updated for later updates

[keen bolt]

but that should be fixed yes

[primal sail]

Didn't Ladybug/Sheep also redrew/changed RT card a bit?

[warm grail]

It doesn't have to be updated for the 1.0 vers
It just needs to be updated at somepoint

The steam modded stuff will be for the next update after the 1.0 one

[timid bear]

Ooo okay cool

Cause I was like damn that's a lot of work to ask of someone the day of isn't it, especially when we literally didn't notice before lol

[warm grail]

@elder pewter For the next update after 1.0 were moving stuff over to steamodded so your deck doesn't have to just be the high constrast vers of the default one and can just be its own deck
What do you want the name of your deck to be?

[spare osprey]

Oh I just checked

Sorry, I'm not currently home :(

[spare osprey]

I did, but I wasn't sure about uploading it since not many people liked it

[warm grail]

Its fine it doesn't need to get fixed by the deadline for the 1.0 vers seeing how I only just noticed it when I was resplitting the set to work with steammodded
Just something to fix at somepoint

[cyan violet]

hmmmmmm what should i do for hone and glow up

[warm grail]

Little Man and Big Man maybe

[elder pewter]

Hmmm…

Kai’s Kards maybe

Idk

lol

[warm grail]

alright 👍

[warm grail]

@modest kayak Will you be able to finish your card by the deadline for 1.0 version?
If not do you want want to use this WIP version if you are not able to finish in time?

[west comet]

gang is the CatRT from "the devil" Tarot card supposed to not have a face or i'm tripping

I remember seeing it with a face

(That or I'm confusing it with the Ilusion Voucher no idea)

[keen bolt]

none of the other tarots have a face

[summer wyvern]

It was remade by crispy
The original did have a face

[left drift]

There are a few that do, but yeah the original style doesn't have the face

[west comet]

oHHhHHHHH gotcha

thanks

[serene jetty]

Almost to the finish line!

[cyan violet]

🙂

can i submit hone and glow up after the 1.0 deadline?

[warm grail]

Do you have any WIP thing I can use for it?

[cyan violet]

no....

[warm grail]

I guess will just use that temp thing someone submitted a few days ago

[summer wyvern]

I have something you could toss in
though it is probably different to the idea cass has

[cyan violet]

i dont have a good idea what to do for it

i dont got the sauce

[timid bear]

Deadline is approaching, how's it going folks?

[runic turtle]

well, we did it folk :D

[warm grail]

According to the sheets there were two things not fully finished
A spectral and a voucher pair
I'll use the wip and temp one we had for those
I'll have the new zip compiled and released in a couple hours

Like around <t:1741615200:t>

[serene jetty]

I wonder when he'll do the next Balatro stream for it

[warm grail]

Tbh kinda hope he doesn't till after I finish porting it over to steam modded

Speaking of that, that's pretty much what I'm thinking version 1.1 will be just porting over everything currently to a steammoded version of it

[timid bear]

So Dan won't be able to use it as it is now 🤨

Or

[warm grail]

No it would be usable, 1.0 is just gonna be like prev verisions where you have to drop stuff into the archive folder
Hoping for 1.1 and beyond to have everything done with steammoded

[timid bear]

Okay cool, it'd be nice for rt to see it as soon as possible tbh

[west comet]

Well gang we did it (98.5ish%)

we done BalaRTo

[cyan violet]

The spectral was completed

I forgor to change the status on the spreadsheet

Oops

[pulsar kite]

1.1 will be the full art release then

no biggy

we did it lads

now to wait till Dan finds somthing funny to do in Belatro again

[woven mason]

I'm going to be ready with the seed scanner as soon as the game staRTs

[keen bolt]

@serene jetty you're the owner of the invisible joker right?

could i replace it with a greenscreen card

it'd fit better imo

also, should we mass ping for people to add descriptions to their jokers

and also, should we add the tags and/or blind chips we've done so far

On one hand it’d be a shame to waste the work done on them, on the other hand, consistency

[woven mason]

Hearing the word consistency brings back memories of what I shant discuss for my own sanity's sake

[keen bolt]

That’s enough of that

[warm grail]

Not yours the other spectral

[cyan violet]

Ah

[modest kayak]

ya sorry for the late reply, im pretty much done, just added a couple of finishing touches. i tried some other variants but i couldn't find them to work tbh.

i also edited the text to destroyer but only realised now that maybe it can affect readibility lmao. so would it be fine to change the text or no?

[warm grail]

Please keep the text the same as the orginal

[modest kayak]

alr no worries ill change it rq

done! should i just upload it to the drive under "Immolate 2x"?

[cyan violet]

Quick question my spectral card changes the text but in a subtle way that's okay right?

[warm grail]

Yes

Version 1.1 Plans

The current plan for 1.1 is port everything we currently have over to steammoded so its easier to use it and opens more options to us to do custom content in the future

[warm grail]

@wanton cedar Could you please pin this

[cyan violet]

How hard is porting to steammoded

[warm grail]

Tbh you sent that message like the min before I was about to send the announcement message for 1.0 so you really caught me at the right time

[modest kayak]

nice 😭

[warm grail]

For the texture stuff so far not too hard
but not entirely sure yet how to do stuff such as change the colors for the start screen with it

[cyan violet]

Okay that's reasuring

[warm grail]

I'm going to try and see if I could get everything ported over by the end of the week or atleast most of it

[cyan violet]

Now if only i had balatro on steam 😔

[warm grail]

Speaking steam modded
While I work on porting there is a very important decision to make
As this mod will moving to steammodded it means we could make fully custom cards with effects
So

[modest kayak]

hell yeah

[warm grail]

Also to note any custom cards we do will be in a separate sub mod to the main one

[cyan violet]

On one hand

Funny

On the other

Vanilla balatro can be easily broken

So do we really need broken cards

[modest kayak]

it would be funny

at best i think we can put broken cards into another rarity

raRTy

[summer wyvern]

Cryptid has shown that making Balatro more broken is fine

[cyan violet]

BalaRTo CypRTid

[summer wyvern]

If we add custom jokers I can bring back The Wii Joker

[woven mason]

If only I could figure out how to get my damned windows 11 to stop deleting the DLL file for Lovely Injector

[warm grail]

That may be windows defenders
The installation guide talked about that

[modest kayak]

you could just make an exception for that file and reinstall it, should work

[woven mason]

I would if I could figure that the fuck out bc windows is goddamn weird

[summer wyvern]

But if we're adding new jokers I might start brainstorming new ideas

[cyan violet]

Willy Wonka Joker?

Gotta have that

[modest kayak]

it should be in windows security, but i know sometimes windows is inconsistent with it showing notifications and such so not sure really.

[nimble meteor]

What if we make it so that these new jokers encourage high risk and high reward? Somewhere in the middle of being balanced and broken?

[summer wyvern]

Mult every time you lose a wheel of fortune

[cyan violet]

I got a new joker idea

[warm grail]

thank you

[summer wyvern]

I'm thinking of implementing The Wii Joker design that sadly couldn't be added in the base pack
Basically it'll be Wee Joker but with mult

[warm grail]

Well if yall want to get an idea what yall could be working with
https://github.com/Steamodded/smods/wiki

[cyan violet]

The Tour
Picks a effect from a random Joker and does it (50/50 chance)

Refering to how we may get a tour some day

[woven mason]

Should is definitely important here, considering I checked windows security, didn't find jack shit about exceptions

[modest kayak]

yeah thats windows for you 😭

maybe it's under protection history

[summer wyvern]

Wait that's just a joker in cryptid

[woven mason]

Oh ffs I have to use the ESET app itself

YIPPEE

Aight time to test my installation

[runic turtle]

Nice! :D
I guess the metal pipe SFX didn't made it in?

[warm grail]

No

[left drift]

If it was added, the volume would need to be lowered because goodness it was loud

[serene jetty]

Nah. It would just be a solid color. Plus, there is already a greenscreen card afaik

[woven mason]

What a start to modding balatro

It begins

[keen bolt]

I don’t think there is

And the current card is just a checker pattern

[serene jetty]

That's a transparent image checker pattern

Its fine the way it is

A solid color would be confusing

[keen bolt]

I disagree but okay

[left drift]

Wasn't the joke with the invisible joker that the card itself was invisible/transparent, hence the "transparent" texture?

[warm grail]

Its a voucher

[keen bolt]

It was but someone suggested it should be a greenscreen in the first video’s comments

[keen bolt]

Hmm fair enough

Though i wouldn’t say it excludes the idea

[radiant nimbus]

Since that was done by modifying game files, you'll need to patch the files modified with lovely's patcher instead

The steamodded wiki links to lovely's patch explanation... somewhere

[runic turtle]

hi

[serene jetty]

I'm not changing it, sorry

[keen bolt]

Hi?

[keen bolt]

Yeah that’s fair i was just suggesting it

[runic turtle]

Greenscreen was made by me

plus, transparent is funny :P

[keen bolt]

the voucher?

[runic turtle]

yep

[keen bolt]

yeah i just forgot about it

[cyan violet]

would 1.1 be technically ready by next week if all goes well?

[warm grail]

Hopefully if I am not too busy this week

[cyan violet]

noted noted

[pulsar kite]

english with description not showing up for anyone else?

[warm grail]

wydm?

[timid bear]

Send a screenshot?

[pulsar kite]

not showing up

[serene jetty]

Swap the language names just to confuse him

[warm grail]

You put in the game.lua and localization folder in the root of the archive right?

[woven mason]

Not exactly related to BalaRTo but imma have a shot at programming in my own little planet card stuff

[pulsar kite]

okay moved some files around and it works now

[serene jetty]

In hindsight, I think we could have finished the blind chips and tags in time

I suppose before we start making custom cards, should we finished the blind chips and tags?

[woven mason]

Probably

I've got some ideas, such as one for Verdant Leaf

[keen bolt]

we should probably finish this project in its entirety before moving on

i'd contribute more with the tags and chips but i don't have any ideas on what to make

[serene jetty]

Yeah, some of them are hard to link it to RT, like The Ox

Though I suppose we can just make it anything

[keen silo]

A shame the finished blind tags weren’t included but amazing work to all of the artists!!

[serene jetty]

I wonder how hard it'll be to program a mandatory "punishment" card deck that he has to pull from. Like the effects from the Cloe balatro stream

[radiant nimbus]

okay i let curiosity get the better of me and started looking at lovely's patching system and how the custom bg was implemented into the game, i think i've got down how to patch it, maybe...
there's a part that's going to be a complete coin toss as to whether it can even be patched in this way though because the shader file is a bit of an enigma to me, but if there isn't any weird magic going on with the shader file extension it should all be fine in the end

[keen bolt]

not sure about these files in particular but it depends on what it does exactly

does it replace the entire file or just a value

either way as long as there's nothing else trying to change them i don't see a reason why it shouldn't work

[radiant nimbus]

well the patcher patches lua files, shaders themselves aren't lua

[radiant nimbus]

i forgot to finish my thought - shaders aren't lua but you can write them in a lua file as love.graphics.newShader works with both file paths to a shader and a string literal containing shader code - so you can patch over a shader by having it as a string literal if nothing else
... unless there's something else funky going on, which i'm worried about as the .fs file extension isn't one i'd expect to see for a shader

[radiant nimbus]

okay! i've emerged from the rabbit hole and i think i got all the things that needed to be patched over for it to work - the patch goes into a .toml in the /lovely/ folder of the mod if i've understood this correctly
the real question is whether this'll work as i don't have the capability to actually test it out! I'm confident i've done the actual patching correctly it's just whether that shader is happy to compile

[radiant nimbus]

oh right @warm grail if you wanna have a look at this for the steamodded version when you get the chance

[warm grail]

Do I have to create a lovely folder inside of here or somewhere else?

[radiant nimbus]

Inside of there i believe

I'll do a quick double check that it is the right spot

[radiant nimbus]

Double checked and yup lovely folder goes inside here 👍 then the file can be called whatever as long as its a .toml so something like new_splash.toml

[warm grail]

Got this error

[radiant nimbus]

ah shoot i think i know what i did, must've forgotten a comma in that table

If you look for BG_BLACK in the patch it should only appear once, there's probably a missing comma before it

[radiant nimbus]

Ah wait it's not that !i forgot a ' after colour_3 in the payload of the last patch, you should be able to see where it's missing right at the bottom of the file (can't edit it myself as i'm on mobile)

Also BG_BLACK is supposed to be BGBLACK, accidentally added an underscore into that one

[warm grail]

👍

[timid bear]

Yoooo

[radiant nimbus]

Let's go!! Epic

[radiant nimbus]

i know we probably won't be doing anything custom joker related for a while yet but i have one very silly joker idea i just can't not share:
Yaoi Bottle
+2 Mult
If played hand contains a Pair of Kings or Pair of Jacks, they become Polychrome after scoring
When a Polychrome card is played, this Joker gains +2 Mult
You can no longer play Straights.

[radiant nimbus]

oh also, a Tarot that is just Death - Convert the right card into the left card

completely normal 🙂

[nimble meteor]

I've decided to take a break from Discord for a month to focus on my mental health, but before I do, I would like to share some ideas for BalaRTo in case it ever goes in the direction of adding new Jokers/mechanics. I'm worried it might come off as a little overwhelming or demanding, but here goes:

The Sibling Jokers (I don't have names for these, but they'd probably be cursed)

• A Rare Joker that makes all activated Jokers on a played hand Polychrome. This card is also guaranteed to be Polychrome, but can never be Negative.
• A Legendary Joker that makes all activated Jokers on a played hand Negative. This card is also guaranteed to be Negative, and cannot have any other enhancements.
• Foil, Holographic, and Polychrome cards cannot become Negative, and vice-versa.

Another Legendary Joker: NEVER Punished

• It will have the ability to copy any Joker that the player inputs.
• Selecting it will activate a prompt where the player can type down the Joker they would like it to replicate.

A new Playing Card Type and a Joker and Tarot to go with it

• Works similarly to Glass Cards, but used for Econ. When played, it gives you a fixed amount of money (I would say roughly $8-12), but there is a 1 in 3 chance of it breaking.
• Another Joker (likely Uncommon?) called He LOVES Money: Guarantees that the new playing card type would break, but it would give double the amount of money recieved.
• A Common Joker that would increase the sell value of other Jokers when a playing card of this type breaks.
• A New Tarot Card that converts two (or three) Playing Cards into this specific card type (I propose calling it "Hunger" ||which is definitely not a reference to Persona 4, or anything||).

Finisher Boss Blinds

• The Mafia: All cards in hand NOT played are permanently destroyed (or the odds of a card being destroyed are around 1-in-2 or 3). Enhanced Cards (Gold, Steel, etc.) will still activate when the hand is played.
• The Tree: All played cards are permanently destroyed (Flush and Full-House builds, beware).

New Deck Types

• The RTGame Deck: This will increase the chance of finding unique Jokers to this mod by 30-40% (The idea is taken from the Vinesauce Balatro Mod)
• The Drift King Deck: Applies the above, but follows the rules of a Plasma Deck

These are just a couple ideas that I have. Let me know what you think.

[west comet]

very cool Ideas!

apart from that– Take much needed care mate, o7

[radiant nimbus]

yeah! for the siblings i can think of two RTGame blended children that could work for that

[timid bear]

I'm throwing my Mer-spade-es GL8 idea back in there for the custom jokers
Gives plus 8 mult to each 8 of spades

[radiant nimbus]

one thing that'd really slap is galaxy edition cards, creating a nice looking card shader for it would be hell but worth it

[timid bear]

Yeeee

[warm grail]

Huh the poll 50/50 atm

[timid bear]

I'm not on my computer so can't see it

[warm grail]

Also vote on this if you have not already

[radiant nimbus]

one thing i will say about balance is i think it's a bit more fun to have a level of balance like balatro as i think it means you can be more creative because you have a restriction, and not have certain cards that overly outshine everything else
that being said if the vote stays quite close to being tied - we could compromise by having it so that there's a way to toggle the busted side of the mod vs the balanced side
steamodded lets you add custom stakes so i don't see why we couldn't have something like the "Chaos Stake" that adds in all of the busted jokers

[radiant nimbus]

challenge decks can also set modifiers like stakes do which means that if we went down this route it shouldn't block out any options in regards to busted content - if a challenge deck wants to base itself on the busted side it can, and everything being obtainable can be controlled by modifiers

anyway one silly idea before i go to sleep:
Green Seal (Four-leaf clover) - Has a 1 in 4 chance to trigger the effects of a Red Seal, Gold Seal, Blue Seal, and Purple Seal (under their normal conditions)

[serene jetty]

If we do a punishment thing. I suggest family guy funny moment one

[radiant nimbus]

i had a horrific idea for TTS Joker that just TTS reads the name and description of everything hovered over, the effect of the boss blind, chips target, chips score etc.

[runic turtle]

"Shiny!" Joker

Each time a card is scored,
there is a 1 in 512 for it to become polychrome

[radiant nimbus]

for the true shiny experience you could go 1 in 4096 and destroy every card that fails

actually on the topic of murder:
Boss blind "The WWMii": Draws your entire deck, then discards half of your hand. Every time you play a hand, half your remaining deck discards again.

[runic turtle]

This is such a cruel chance,
but could you imagine the hype of getting a polychrome thanks to it

Lets say you play 2 hands a game, that's technically 10 in 512 each round to get a poly
unless I know nothing about satistics which is possible

[woven mason]

I love this idea

[woven mason]

And this one

[summer wyvern]

I have a goofy idea for a custom joker
"Shut the fuck up Wallace"
Played face cards give 5x mult and are destroyed after being played

I don't have a design for it but you could probably imagine what it would be

[woven mason]

I just got a new idea as well, "Hope and Dread", 50% chance to generate a negative Death, but if not, it generates a non-negative Wheel of Fortune

Or y'know what, negative wheel just bc

[spare osprey]

Do we have a Game Design student/professional in the server? Cause these ideas sound cool but we'd have to analyze if they could be balanced

I could look into it, but it'd take me a while

Or I could bring a designer friend into the server to help us in his off time

[keen bolt]

i don't think it's something only they can do

but as a game developer i can only recommend that you implement the jokers in, then play a round or two with them to see if they're balanced with the rest of the game

[spare osprey]

Valid

[keen bolt]

i don't think you can really so much else other than that

[spare osprey]

Also, you're a game developer?? That's awesomee

[keen bolt]

except for vetoing clearly unbalanced cards

[keen bolt]

yuh

[warm grail]

There's a page about making custom jokers

Also prob should change name at this point

RTGame BalaRTo Pack Collab

[keen bolt]

should we just make another thread for it

[spare osprey]

Nah

[warm grail]

Nah

[keen bolt]

since it's an entirely different project

[warm grail]

Not really

[spare osprey]

This has clearly evolved

So there's no point in preserving this chat as it was before

We can just move onto the next stage of the project

[keen bolt]

the step from simple texture changes to big mod that adds new jokers and stuff is a big one

i'd argue it's worthy of separating the two but i'm not in control

[spare osprey]

True, but there's no reason to keep this chat as the texture chat, since that project seems to be pretty much finished

[radiant nimbus]

since the texture pack is almost finished there won't be any harm in repurposing this chat a bit

the main thing is the download which is pinned

what we will need though is a system for organising ideas, the submissions themselves will be easy to manage i think but because a card is the design/concept, which instructs the implementation (code), and the artwork we need some system for nailing down what each thing will be so we can then turn that into another spreadsheet for claiming the two parts to each card

for sprite submissions a drive link should work again and for the code submissions GitHub would definitely be the way to go

[warm grail]

I could setup some sheet pages later
Should I have in the main sheets or an entirely new one?

[radiant nimbus]

new one

[woven mason]

Did I cook

[hybrid lava]

yes

[woven mason]

Anyone got ideas for what this'd do?

Really OP idea:
When selecting blind, create negative Showman, if already have Showman, create negative Perkeo

[summer wyvern]

Gain 1x mult everytime a Death card is used

[woven mason]

Nice

That'd go SUPER hard with Perkeo

[spare osprey]

That sounds like a legendary ability

Otherwise it's too OP for a normal joker

[timid bear]

Is it though because death cards don't always show up

It could be plus mult instead of times

[woven mason]

Plus it's straight up a legendary anyways

[sharp flare]

could be a smaller amount like 0.2x or 0.1x

[timid bear]

Nobody acknowledged my Mer-spade-es GL8 idea though

So idk if y'all are using it or not

[sharp flare]

we should make a spreadsheet to keep track of all this

[timid bear]

Yeah

[radiant nimbus]

we're just throwing around ideas right now

[timid bear]

Chris said he would later I think

[sharp flare]

I'm trying to think of some too

[timid bear]

I've had this idea for over a year 😭

When ladybug first started making an actual deck for rt

[radiant nimbus]

i've got a lot of ideas but if i unleash them all nobody will hear the end of it

[sharp flare]

do it

[radiant nimbus]

i haven't written them down

[timid bear]

You telling us is writing them down

👀

But I getcha

[spare osprey]

I remember it lol

[timid bear]

Ages ago

[summer wyvern]

am I the only one who doesn't really care too much about custom joker balance
at the end of the day it's just a goofy streamer mod for balatro

like obviously I'm not gonna have something be insanely busted but I'm not gonna try to make everything perfectly balanced

[spare osprey]

I mean idk how rewarding it can feel when the game is just giving you free shit

[radiant nimbus]

i think there's fun in keeping them balanced

[spare osprey]

A stream still has to be fun for him

[radiant nimbus]

atleast, balanced to balatro's standard (which can still hit naneinf)

[summer wyvern]

fair

[summer wyvern]

honestly I think my most broken idea is the "shut the fuck up wallace" joker
even then I think it's somewhat balanced with it making the cards one use

though it could be really insane with paradolia or canio

[woven mason]

I also don't give a youtube about balance

Nor consistency, lookin at you jumbo celestial

[radiant nimbus]

if there's a lot of demand for particularly busted jokers i still think the pack could just tailor to both styles with a Chaos Stake

[summer wyvern]

my focus is more on fun factor but I am willing to tweak values a little as long as they don't go against the main idea of the joker

like I might have "shut the fuck up wallace" give played face cards 4x mult instead of 5x
but I would never get rid of it destroying face cards

[timid bear]

Drop it

It's been days

Literal days

[summer wyvern]

the face cards being destroyed is the "shut the fuck up" part of the equation

[timid bear]

Amazing

I do hope he streams the current pack soon

[woven mason]

Don't get me started on grudges, I've got several years-old grudges I haven't gotten over yet, but let's not talk about it

[timid bear]

I'm excited to see everyone's work

[summer wyvern]

The only other idea I have is Wii Joker
It's just Wee Joker but mult

[summer wyvern]

I really want to reuse that unused Wee Joker sprite

[woven mason]

Which of yours (if you did smthn) is your fave, mine is probably either the Normal Spectral Packs, or my The Water blind chips

[keen bolt]

what's your idea for a wii joker

could do something with the shop since it's replaced with the wii shop

[summer wyvern]

I just said Wee Joker but mult

[keen bolt]

ah

[timid bear]

I have the Mer-spade-es GL8 idea and then I wanna do something with money

Maybe called cash grab? All fives give +5 dollars when played (because 5 kinda looks like the dollar sign)

Or maybe it doesn't have to be that much

[pulsar kite]

can we make the Book of Tour into a Custom card

[primal sail]

Maybe fives have 1/5 chance to give 5 dollars?

[pulsar kite]

as in the bible of the religion i founded around the tour that i just disbanded

[timid bear]

YES

[summer wyvern]

I might also use my shitty devil card design for a joker and call it "Counterfeit Devil Tarot"
Might make it some sort of econ joker

actually I'm gonna make a list of my joker ideas

[radiant nimbus]

don't forget we can do more than just jokers

[woven mason]

Yeah but jokers are the easiest to figure out

[radiant nimbus]

i can't quite think of a good effect for it yet but Galaxy Card Edition feels like a must

[sharp flare]

I have an idea for a spectral
[Trans] Flag: converts all cards in hand to a random card in hand

[cyan violet]

Wheel of True: Wheel of Fortune buts its actually 1 in 4

[timid bear]

Lmao

[woven mason]

Other spectral ideas:
Irish Flag:Converts all card in hand to a random enhancement
British Flag:Straight up destroys all cards in hand and draws new hand
Egg:Creats negative egg, yeah I wanted to make a third don't ask why

[sharp flare]

I love egg

[keen bolt]

this is actually an interesting effect, reminds me of this fire emblem game? might be another one, but the attacks in that game have a chance to hit, and that chance is shown to the player, but the actual chance that it hits is boosted because otherwise people feel like attacks hit less often than they should

[spare osprey]

That British one sounds p good actually

[sharp flare]

that's actually a pretty well known effect in game dev, players tend to overestimate probabilities

[radiant nimbus]

you generally don't get a high enough sample size for it to properly tend toward the average yeah

[woven mason]

What'd be funnier is if it was programmed to just hide the effect like some Cryptid things like Machinecode so that when you use it you won't know what hit you till it's too late

[spare osprey]

Oh I hate Cryptid

But that sounds funny

[timid bear]

Id like a tag that maybe turns the upcoming boss blind into a previous boss blind? Or a card you can sell or something

[spare osprey]

Selling cards is underrated

[timid bear]

Yeah

Maybe a card you can sell

[spare osprey]

Maybe an Albert card where selling it gives you a benefit?

Since Albert got auctioned off

[sharp flare]

isn't that egg?

[timid bear]

Oooo yes

No

[radiant nimbus]

i want the Yaoi Bottle to have that kind of hidden effect under it's "You can no longer play straights." clause
because someone's going to try out of curiosity anyway so you're going to feel Yaoi Bottle's Gay Wrath™️ as your entire deck is debuffed permanently. Oops!

[spare osprey]

I mean you can sell Egg but it only gives you more money

I mean something you can sell and it gives you some other effect, like Invisible Joker

[summer wyvern]

Oh I have a terrible idea for a Ben Franklin card that might be a smidge too edgy

[primal sail]

The tag idea sounds fun, like a "second phase"

[timid bear]

I'm talking about my effect specially being sold to make the boss blind a previous boss blind, if it was a card

[sharp flare]

oh I see

[timid bear]

But as a tag it's fun too

[timid bear]

"round two eh?"

[sharp flare]

isn't there already a joker that disables the boss blind by being sold? this is just a weaker version of that

[spare osprey]

Ye

[timid bear]

Yeah, so it should be a tag then

[spare osprey]

There's a Joker that does that, yeah

[timid bear]

And that with a double tag would be broken af

[sharp flare]

chicot lite

[timid bear]

It's a tag though

Not a card

[radiant nimbus]

make an "All spades are debuffed" boss blind repeat twice in your full Red Seal Hearts Steel Kings deck, become untouchable

[timid bear]

See this

This is great lmao

[radiant nimbus]

on the topic of boss blinds, i'm not sure what form it'd take but maybe "The Visionary" which allows you to see what your boss blinds will reroll too, perhaps some other things too

[timid bear]

There's not a lot of ways to get out of blinds that might just feck you if they show up, this is one way to do it

[timid bear]

Ooo

Could do both, would give players interesting ways of interacting with the game
One allows players to go back to boss blinds they've already defeated and the other allows players to plan ahead

Like maybe you see the next two boss blinds

Or rerolls

[cyan violet]

gotta dig deep for the rt refrences

i randomly remembered the vault stream

[summer wyvern]

New joker idea
RTGame Discord Server: gains 1 mult per consecutive hand played that isn't a straight

[timid bear]

LMAO

[radiant nimbus]

one other idea for it as well, this wouldn't help with every boss blind but Sudocream as a consumable you can use to heal debuffed cards

[timid bear]

Ooooi

[sharp flare]

ohh that's a cool idea

[timid bear]

INTERESTING

[radiant nimbus]

i like the idea of it having somewhere between 3 and 5 uses (as in total cards) but you don't have to use all of them at once

[timid bear]

I love that

[cyan violet]

CRTypid

[spare osprey]

Sudocream is a deep cut

[sharp flare]

could be a joker also, it auto-undebuffs and it has limited uses like popcorn and ice cream

[primal sail]

Could be a voucher similar to Director's Cut?

[timid bear]

Oooo

They could be called phase one and phase two or some other boss battle references name

If they were vouchers I mean

[summer wyvern]

I do have a pair of voucher designs I could use for one set of custom vouchers

[summer wyvern]

But they're kind of generic Civ references instead of something more specific

[radiant nimbus]

something else i think would be fun to do some things with is stone cards

[timid bear]

I agree

[radiant nimbus]

Zhongli: All stone cards in played hand are fused after scoring

[woven mason]

I wanna think of more enhancements atm

But maybe later

[spare osprey]

Funky

[summer wyvern]

There has to be an English Major joker
But idk what effect it could have

Maybe something to do with Aces

Because they use a letter

[spare osprey]

Lettered cards gain a buff somehow

A, K, Q, J

[woven mason]

Someone already made an English Degree idea

[spare osprey]

They did?

[woven mason]

Here we go

[pulsar kite]

I picked 1 cjz 0 isnt a card

[summer wyvern]

That seems like you gotta do too much work for hardly any reward

[woven mason]

Only replying now bc you didn't ping me initially, it's just straight up leafeon but perhaps smthn more RT-themed could be used, like this roll>

[woven mason]

Hey, wasn't my idea

[hard wing]

ohhh the roll! that could be fun

[summer wyvern]

I know I was just telling you my thoughts

[woven mason]

I wonder if there'd be a way to change the amount of frames used on the animation so Verdant Leaf could loop seamlessly

Based on the code I wouldn't assume so?

Damn

[radiant nimbus]

there's always a way, the question is how hard it is

[hard wing]

we could always remove frames from the roll

[woven mason]

Perhaps we could just replace the little shine with the Wooloo rolling and the other frames are just static

[warm grail]

Alright here's the doc for the custom mod stuff
Will go more into detail on mod stuff after the poll is completed for what direction were going to take custom mod stuff
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v1PXT6i_MRD6rTBy1OzcD1Yf7PE7v3K6gCH-BW9orSQ/edit?usp=sharing
The regular sheets doc will still be used for remaining texture stuff or soley cosmectic stuff like sets or decks

I do know 100% you can make custom jokers but not sure how to do the other stuff such as tarots or spectrals so may remove those if we cannot actually make custom stuff for that
If you do plan of making custom tarots, planets etc. do follow existing theme/pallete for that thing

[radiant nimbus]

We can do all of that with Steamodded

[warm grail]

Remember to also vote on the poll its still very neck and neck atm

If balance do end up winning what I basically mean by that is generally nothing more strong/busted than existing vanilla stuff
Not sure though where to cut line off for intentionally bad cards likes ones that do only debuffs though

[radiant nimbus]

I think if the vote is close either way we should consider maybe trying to have a balanced and an unbalanced side, a custom stake for unbalanced could do it

[warm grail]

I guess we could have two sub mods for each
All the custom new cards were going into a sub mod anway from the texture pack/ cosmetic stuff

[radiant nimbus]

That's a potential option too

You could just enable/disable them as you please then too

[radiant nimbus]

But back to this from what i've been reading on steamodded, it's capable of adding new types of everything (with a couple of limitations on effects)

But technically you can do anything and everything because of the patch system... If you know exactly what to change to implement something you need

[pulsar kite]

DriftKing
x3 mult if hand played is not your most played hand

ALL THE HOLES
1 in 50 chance to double the chip value of played cards

[summer wyvern]

Breaking Bad Farm: earn $2 at the end of round for each blue seal in your deck

[pulsar kite]

A real Jack moment
1 in 34 chance of x10 mult
1 in 60 chance of destroying another joker

Achieved Gratification
2$ for every discard used
(card should be a reference to TOUR IS OVER)

[runic turtle]

I love the luck this texture pack gives XD

[runic turtle]

there is a similar one, don't remember exacly the name.
but it increases the mult you get from the card depending on how many consecutive hands you played that are not your most played

[runic turtle]

Sounds cool, I like the idea of it :D
also, its nice to have more gamble related jokers to torture dan

[runic turtle]

that's a cool one,
the only thing is how rare/hard it is to get blue seals as you get them from spectrals

[pulsar kite]

i mean it in a hiker way btw a King card would be pernamently worth 20 chips after

[runic turtle]

Jack! :D
I think that's cool, but maybe a lower chances for both of them

[pulsar kite]

100 and 300 are probably to high

[woven mason]

Obelisk

[pulsar kite]

how 1 in 34 and 1 in 60

[runic turtle]

hu... hmm, how about you have to sell delayed gratifications 5 times in order to unlock this card for your run?

[woven mason]

I like this idea

[pulsar kite]

maybe just sell Delayed once

there is no way you find a single Uncommen joker 5 times in one run

[runic turtle]

actually, double down. make it 6

for the 6 years of no tour :P

[woven mason]

Invisible joker would be the biggest help here
Good luck finding 4 invisible jokers though 🙂

[pulsar kite]

Jhon Golf

• 90 mult
  loses 1 mult everytime another joker is used

[woven mason]

Showman also'd be good

[pulsar kite]

Jhonny Anime
Every time Mult is increased by a joker +0,5 mult

[woven mason]

(Evening) Davis
Idk what this'd do

[pulsar kite]

Jhon City
+100 chips for every Uncommen joker you have used or sold this run

New Jhon City
+10 mult for every Uncommen joker you have used or sold this run

[woven mason]

This is basically the happy house of BalaRTo and I love it

[runic turtle]

Restart... (WIP)
If all drawn cards are different ranks,
gain +1 hand this turn

[runic turtle]

cool concept 🤔
why john Golf?

[pulsar kite]

ILL SHOW YOU MULT

[runic turtle]

this turn or pernamently?

[pulsar kite]

pernamently

[runic turtle]

what is the origin?

[pulsar kite]

https://youtu.be/m_z0UDuuzrM?si=0uQlZ4juLmtWdN1R

[runic turtle]

No John, it doesn't work like this,
please, think of the children! D:

[pulsar kite]

get in touch with your RTCU knowlidge man

the Edditor (tarrot)
choose 3 cards to turn into the right most ones suit

[runic turtle]

"Oh so you are an RT fan?
Name every reference made in the balatro texture pack"

lol

[pulsar kite]

okay

[runic turtle]

ahhh this is davis

SHOULD I CONTINUE OR DO YOU YIELD TO MY POWER

[runic turtle]

each time a transportation card appear in shop,
gain x0.1 mult? 🤷‍♂️

• ride the bus
• rocket
• reserved parking
• shortcut
• Satelite
• hit the road

[woven mason]

I like this idea, but maybe only when you purchase or obtain one?

[runic turtle]

cool premis

[pulsar kite]

basicly a less powerfull death

[hard wing]

yo nice!

[woven mason]

they roll

Imma submit it if you don't mind

[pulsar kite]

they do be rolling

[woven mason]

[runic turtle]

incredible
||~~you may be a fan, but that's a slacked job for a true fan ~~||

[runic turtle]

Ohhh I love em <3

[woven mason]

They do be rollin'

[runic turtle]

maybe should be a different one entirely, probably too reliant of other joker as it is

Ah game, you are way too kind

[pulsar kite]

the cassual 6 TRIBOULET RUN

Random seed?

[runic turtle]

yep

This texture pack sure is something

the main question, 6 triboulet and 1 sock&buskin
or 5 tribulet, and sock&buskin

(all kings played are red sealed)

[woven mason]

I think copying Sock and Buskin is better?

[runic turtle]

yeah, seems like it

I think the only way to advance is with glass and afterwards send it home

[pulsar kite]

SAY IT WITH US CHAT

[woven mason]

I'm excited to see everyone's hard work next balatro stream

[pulsar kite]

TURN

THE

LEFT

CARD

INTO

THE

[woven mason]

RIGHT

CARD

[timid bear]

Next stream is Saint Patrick's day so its probably with the lads

[woven mason]

"Turn the left card into the left card" Poetry

I meant next balatro stream

[pulsar kite]

Cake Jumper has floated the idea that she want to do a full stream in Irish

maybe Dan is getting in on that action

[runic turtle]

anyone knows when is even infinite?

[pulsar kite]

infinite is when your total score exeeds the int32 limit

tecnicly its not inifinite its just that the games code cant handle the number anymore

[runic turtle]

int32?

what's that in E?

[pulsar kite]

its a method of storing numbers

Int is a full number in code

Double is a number with decimals

so a Int can be 1 but a double can be 1.11

Int is split up into versions based on how high of a number you can go

[runic turtle]

yeah but like, I mean E wise around how much is it

[pulsar kite]

int32 is the one used by most programers cuz its pretty wierd to think you go higher then that

wait

im stupid

Belatro does not use a 32 bit int

just a sec

[radiant nimbus]

Balatro uses a double

It cuts off ingame at about e308 or 2^1024
