ah

#

this game needs more jokers to allow getting there XD

pulsar kite
#

you win
x2^1024 mult

runic turtle
#

I am happy with e68 soon e69, but come on :P

#

Ah.. I threw XD

#

oh well, good run

#

Round 69 with e69

I tried getting the ultimate hand by playing my purple seals

ASMRT Podcast: +30 mult, self destructs after 4 hands

woven mason
#

Gamble:
1 in 100 chance to give x2^1337 mult, otherwise, self destruct

#

I can't actually remember how many episodes ASMRT actually had
The idea is that is the amount of hands is the amount of episodes it had

timid bear
#

4

#

There's a playlist for it I think

summer wyvern
#

Ok I got it right the first time

#

Wasn't sure if it was 4 or 5

#

Honestly how are my joker ideas balance wise so far?

IMG_20250314_121623.jpg
#

The gold card one is mostly there as a way to reuse the old devil card design by the way

runic turtle
#

Hit me
When clicked 1 in 21 chance to become debuffed,
otherwise increase this joker mult by 1 this round.

timid bear
#

Only that round?

runic turtle
#

yes, same for the debuff

timid bear
#

That seems like so little return

#

Unless you keep clicking

runic turtle
#

its like misprint, but weirder :)

#

you never know when's the limit

#

probably uncommon

summer wyvern
#

might start working on some designs for the custom joker ideas I have

runic turtle
#

another option maybe 1 in 5,
gain x0.5 mult for this round

runic turtle
summer wyvern
#

I've basically posted all of them

runic turtle
#

.

summer wyvern
#

oh

timid bear
#

Will add mine as soon as I get to my computer

warm grail
#

I'll add somewhere in the drive later this weekend for a place to put you code for em

radiant nimbus
#

shouldn't we use GitHub for that

#

it'd be way easier

warm grail
#

hmm

#

Maybe

#

Could set that up later today

nimble meteor
#

Aight, is it col that I add my ideas to the spreadshet?

radiant nimbus
#

absolutely

runic turtle
radiant nimbus
#

yeah i was also going to say we need a rarity column before you added it

radiant nimbus
runic turtle
#

at the end I came up with this,
I think I like it better now :D

When clicked, 1 in 21 to consume,
otherwise increase this joker mult by x0.5 this round.

#

could also be 0.25, as it might be a bit strong

radiant nimbus
#

how do you insert newlines in a spreadsheet...

runic turtle
#

right click

#

should have insert line there

woven mason
#

I love the different ideas we got going here

#

Already got two legendaries

radiant nimbus
#

oh no sorry not rows/columns, like making a second line of text in one row

runic turtle
warm grail
#

alt+enter

runic turtle
pulsar kite
summer wyvern
#

oh crap

runic turtle
warm grail
runic turtle
#

No idea how is coding done for mods, but putting up the ideas on the forum anyway

warm grail
woven mason
#

Imma get this on the spreadsheet rq

warm grail
#

I should really pin this in my next update message

summer wyvern
#

honestly I read that thing and I'm still not sure how it all works

#

but I've been sticking with things similar enough to base game stuff/stuff from mods to make it more likely my stuff is possible

timid bear
#

Same, trying to keep my ideas simple

nimble meteor
#

Need an idea for the name of the new card enhancement.

summer wyvern
#

like my most ambitious idea basically turns face cards into stronger glass cards that are guaranteed to break

#

which I doubt would be too hard to make

sharp flare
#

call them nuke cards

summer wyvern
#

no this is the effect of a joker not a new card type

timid bear
#

Yeah, I'm not gonna add new card types and stuff

woven mason
#

Imma apply some colours to the text yous have written

timid bear
#

If we do that, y'all realized we're gonna have to code it

sharp flare
#

I don't know how to code lol

timid bear
#

Not only design it, but code and program it too

#

Yeah

#

Most of us don't

sharp flare
#

hopefully someone steps up

timid bear
#

Which is why we should operate under the adage of
Keep it simple, stupid

sharp flare
#

what is balatro programmed in?

radiant nimbus
#

Love2D engine, which you write games in with Lua

sharp flare
#

hmmm maybe I could try coding something

#

it looks kinda similar to some languages I know

timid bear
#

We should have a column or an option for people to put if they know how to code/would be willing to

woven mason
#

Imma sort out the formatting and writing while yous make more ideas

radiant nimbus
#

however i think Steamodded is slightly abstracted away from love (like lovely) because they're designed to inject into it
for example the love2d filesystem is inaccessible because love's root path is the game root and the mod code runs beyond that so you have to use something else for the filesystem (steamodded provides nativefs for this i believe)

sharp flare
#

if we go through with this, should we make a separate channel for modding talk at some point?

#

like giving coding advice and feedback

nimble meteor
#

I'm more of an idea guy than an actual coder

sharp flare
#

it's never too late to learn :)

timid bear
#

Yeah for this to work we need coders or people who are willing to learn

#

I'm a full time student

#

So, I can try and work on coding my stuff, maybe because my ideas aren't that complicated but

#

It'll be low on the priority list

#

Because
Yknow
School

nimble meteor
#

Yeah, I can learn a few new things

radiant nimbus
#

i'm very familiar with both lua and love2d myself so i can help out a fair bit

timid bear
#

Awesome

radiant nimbus
#

my main issue is that i don't own balatro so i have no way of testing

sharp flare
summer wyvern
#

I have a question
would a joker that gives +1 mult for each consecutive hand played that isn't a straight be better as a Common or Uncommon?

woven mason
#

Anyone got this one image?

image.png
radiant nimbus
sharp flare
timid bear
#

Common

radiant nimbus
#

main thing with lua is the secret that everything is actually a table

sharp flare
timid bear
#

My joker is a common as well, could maybe be uncommon because it has the potential to be busted if you go all in on 8s of spades

woven mason
#

AFK Gonna go play ball

pulsar kite
#

let me think of a worth legendary idea

nimble meteor
radiant nimbus
#

which rarity would the top and bottom joker here fit into would you guys say? i'm leaning towards Rare for Yaoi but not sure

image.png
summer wyvern
pulsar kite
#

times 5 i the most middle of the roud number right

radiant nimbus
#

legendary that is perfect for the wheel but damning for glass decks

I'm boing absolutrely insane formatting all of these descriptions

#

29 custom jokers in the spreadsheet so far

radiant nimbus
#

for people who are planning to/considering taking a shot at coding their jokers but aren't familiar with Lua here's a few things you could take a look at:
Official Lua book guide: https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html Very in depth, goes into a lot of specifics, fair bit of technical jargon but covers everything lua related, even what you might not need (Skip section 1.4 in particular, it is not relevant to anything you will have to use)
(Use one of the lua demos https://www.lua.org/demo.html to follow along)
Shorter guide about Lua: https://kristal.cc/wiki/lua-tutorial Works for people who can't digest the other or want something quick - designed with people not really knowing much about coding beforehand in mind, but not as in depth (this site is about an engine for something else so the rest of it isn't relevant to Balatro mods, only this page) (Don't worry about the unfinished part either, you shouldn't need that anyway)
Lua's manual: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/ Wouldn't recommend looking at this unless you're good at coding already and just aren't familiar with lua

radiant nimbus

#

oh right one more thing i forgot to mention earlier
Steamodded requires that you have Atlases (spritesheets) for BOTH resolutions, bear that in mind when creating any sprites

WIP sudocream Tarot
i wasn't expecting to be half as sucessful at this going in

sharp flare
#

sudocrem

radiant nimbus
#

the only thing i can't get right with the writing is that it almost looks like the tub is blushing at you

radiant nimbus
# sharp flare sudocrem

despite the emote name being sudocream sudocream the bottles actually are sudocrem, since sudocream didn't fit i went with that

sudocrem-400g-cream-3484203391.jpg
sharp flare
#

oh that's interesting

radiant nimbus
#

managed to pretty much finish sudocream
only thing i haven't done yet is a number at the top because i don't know if we'll do a tarot numbering system or anything

image.png
radiant nimbus
#

Added a section for Blinds to the spreadsheet as i know we had some ideas going around the other day

nimble meteor
#

Here's the thing. I am anything BUT a graphic designer. I don't think it's possible for me to draw a better version of this. Someone else is gonna have to step in to make a significantly better one, but more or less: THIS is the new Hunger Tarot Card that corresponds to the new Gambling Card that will (hopefully) be in the BalaRTo mod.

The description is: A silhouette of RTGame (in a tophat) with his mouth agape with fangs, reaching up for a moneybag that is visibly terrified. It is moments away from being consumed by a man starving for more gambling.

trans flag wip
not too happy with the background yet

transflag.png
woven mason
#

I have some finisher blind ideas but I might save them for my proper Balatro mod

summer wyvern
radiant nimbus
#

I'd recommend doing 1x and then scaling up

#

Particularly so if you're doing full pixel art so you don't accidentally mixel it
The most important thing though is that you use nearest neighbour scaling either from 2x -> 1x or vice versa otherwise pixel art gets blurred

summer wyvern
#

My work mostly involves throwing images together instead of pixel art
Would scaling up work as good?

radiant nimbus
#

scaling down might be better there yeah, you still need to use nearest neighbour for scaling because you're working with some level of pixel art no matter what but i think you'll get better results that way

#

Fish and Chips: +200 chips 1 in 8 chance to self destruct at the end of round

#

Maybe this could be the Fish and Chips' Cavendish equivalent
Part of me kind of wants it to have a stupid downside though

IMG_20250316_083745.jpg
#

Maybe like +1000 chips but destroys a random played card

#

Honestly I could swap them because the Fish and Chips having the most chips would be appropriate

sharp flare
warm grail
#

Been busy this week and haven't been able to finish porting stuff
Will get git set up around tuesday when I'm not busy

radiant nimbus
#

it's all good 👍 we don't need to be in any hurry with this anyway

summer wyvern
#

Honestly I'm still in the idea phase

#

Right now I'm trying to figure out how my Cooking Mama Fish and Chips joker will work

#

I like the idea of a chip based Gros Michel but idk how the upgrade would work

#

Or I could have it give an absurd amount of chips but have some sort of stupid downside

spare osprey
#

1 in 2 chance to break

summer wyvern
#

Oh that could work

spare osprey
#

it is a banana after all

#

the risk is on it breaking

summer wyvern
#

If I went for chip based Gros Michel then it'd have to be 1 in 8

cyan violet
#

hatsune miku card....

summer wyvern
spare osprey
#

idea

#

tho this is a deep cut

summer wyvern
#

And I kind of want the Fish and Chips to be the one that just gives chips

spare osprey
#

since the two bananas are based on the banana flavors that are supposed to be the originators for the artificial banana flavor

#

but that's only a myth

#

you could go to the source and call your banana "isoamyl acetate"

#

the real origin of artificial banana flavoring

summer wyvern
#

I also have a stupid idea for an insanely OP joker that only spawns if you break a Cavendish but

  1. Idk what it could reference
  2. I'd be too much of a bitch to unlock
spare osprey
#

Maybe that could be Isoamyl acetate

radiant nimbus
#

go all in on Oops! All 6s to try and get cavendish to break

spare osprey
#

And your other banana could be just a variety of green banana

#

Wait they're called plantains aren't they

#

Green bananas I mean

#

The ones people use for savory dishes

summer wyvern
#

But I feel the jokers should stick to RT references tbh

spare osprey
#

I mean if you're doing bananas then it's really difficult to find an RT equivalent

summer wyvern
#

I was thinking for my theoretical better Cavendish idea

#

But I might not even submit it because it's a very stupid idea

#

That RT probably won't find

#

But I like the idea of a super secret joker

radiant nimbus
#

make it a joke about entropy and existential dread

summer wyvern
#

Eitherway I gotta fully figure out what I'm doing for Fish and Chips plus any potential upgrades

#

Maybe the upgrade could give mult per bonus cards in deck

spare osprey
#

I just realized

#

why did we make Diet Cola into a Guinness instead of a Dr Pepper

#

we may be dumb

timid bear
#

Because Irish beer

summer wyvern
#

Or maybe Fish and Chips could give chips per bonus card in deck

#

I really want fish and chips to have the potential to give you a ton of chips

summer wyvern
timid bear
#

I don't think Dan drinks Dr pepper but who knows
That's probably why we went with Guinness

spare osprey
#

I trink I remember him loving Dr Pepper

#

but I dont remember where I got that from

timid bear
#

Who knows

summer wyvern
#

Or maybe I could subvert the Cavendish idea and just have it not have an upgrade

#

And maybe tweak it to be a 1 in 10 chance

once the GitHub is ready i'll put it in there

will also make 100% sure that Git doesn't randomly decide there are Fake conflicts like it sometimes does because ???

warm grail
# warm grail

Due to how the close this poll and suggestion of another person what we are going to do is this
Once I set up the git were are going to split the fully custom stuff card stuff across two gits and will be two seperate sub mods to main mod with the cosmetic stuff

  1. will be for balanced stuff (Like nothing more broken than what already exist the game kinda stuff)
  2. Unbalanced which anything goes as long as you can code it

I will try to set it up in like the next 1-2 days and add a field for the sheets to mark which thing you want your thing to be for

woven mason
#

What're we gonna name the custom addition mod, my suggestion is smthn simple like "BalaRTo+" but that might be to osimple

#

shite was still typing

warm grail
#

Prob something like "BalaRTo Custom Stuff Balanced/Unbalanced" for each

woven mason
#

I can't spell anything today for god sake

radiant nimbus
#

btw you might not need two repositories to do two mods, if you make two branches of the base mod then people can merge into the branch for whichever mod they want but they're all under a single repository
there's no downside to either way but if you want less links it might be worth keeping in mind

warm grail
#

Hmm true

radiant nimbus
#

BalaRTo Custom Collection + BalaRTo Chaos Collection

woven mason

maybe Standard rather than Balance

@nimble meteor To fit more in line with the naming theme of standard Balatro finisher blinds, should I replace the "The"s in your finisher blind names once we've got sprites for them?

Um, sure

Also, The Tree definitely isn't cursed

runic turtle
#

Cosmetic & Language is what we have so far, right?

warm grail
#

Yes

runic turtle
#

what's the diffrance between the two other?

warm grail
#

The balanced one is more sticking to the standard of existing cards and not making anything more broken than that while the unbalanced ones can just be anything regardless if it is broken or not

runic turtle
#

so both of them are for custom jokers and stuff scripted and coded

#

do we even have people who are willing to code for one or the other?

radiant nimbus
#

i don't think there are too many of us here who know how to code lua already but a fair few people have expressed interest in trying

radiant nimbus
#

I can also forward this from the other day that i put out for some places to start with Lua

hybrid lava
#

Sadly I code in C#. I got game design knowledge if that's anything but y'all dont care about balance so I say go wild

summer wyvern
#

Honestly I'm probably gonna stick to my jokers being balanced

#

Though at least if I fuck the balance up there's a place to put it

sharp flare
#

I've been figuring it out gradually and I think I've managed to code a few cards (I haven't tested them yet, still figuring that out)

#

Thankfully most effects are covered by custom functions that already exist in the game. If you can find a function that does the thing you're trying to do, it's not that bad

sharp flare
#

I can share what I've learned if anyone's interested!

I have a couple of ideas I've been thinking of that involve cards being destroyed
Country roads: gains +2 mult per round destroys a random scoring card per hand
Dread: 2x mult 1 in 5 chance to destroy all played cards in hand after scoring

#

Like always I can tweak the values for better balance if required

sharp flare
summer wyvern
#

excellent

#

I better get working on the sprite
all I really have to do is make the 2x size version

sharp flare
#

there's no rush, I only did wii joker first because I wanted to start with an easy one

summer wyvern
#

because I made the original sprite to replace wee joker
before I learned the wii joker just shrinks the regular joker sprite

#

but right now I'm adding my newest ideas to the drive

woven mason
#

YEEHAW

sharp flare
#

WOOOOOO

#

might as well drop this here
https://onecompiler.com/lua
It's an online lua compiler I found. It won't recognize Balatro-specific code, but it can point out formatting and syntax errors. It also makes the code much more readable!

One more joker idea for synergy with some of my other joker ideas
Feed: gains 1 mult when a card is destroyed

Imma make a formatting joker just based on the absolute mare I have to deal with of formatting the descriptions

#

what are the dimensions for a 1x joker again

#

I wanna try something

woven mason
#

1x1 /j

sharp flare
summer wyvern
#

ok

sharp flare
# summer wyvern ok

sorry that's the size of the png, there's a 1 pixel gap along the edge so the actual card is 69 x 93

summer wyvern
#

well right now I'm figuring out the resizinf of the wii joker before submitting despite haing both dimensions right the 1x is all squished and shit

Wii_Joker_2x.png wii_joker_1x.png
radiant nimbus
#

although actually if you want to test them at the ingame size it might be worth knowing

sharp flare
#

for some reason the mod needs both 1x and 2x textures, so I'd appreciate it if yall provided both

summer wyvern
#

that's what I'm trying to do
but honestly I might just make them in like 2x and see if someone else can resize

sharp flare
wanton cedar
#

Due to the pixel nature, resizing down will make it look worse when it's an image resized - with upscaling, you can use nearest neighbour / pixel scaling, and it will scale better

radiant nimbus
wanton cedar
#

The way to look at it: 2x is simply moving closer. Not "this is extra space for more details", as that will fall apart when having to convert or scale between sizes

I use csp
it's not the best for image editing but I have it so I might as well

This is what I use to increase size of pixelart

Everyone's out here trying to make new Jokers, but I'm trying to make a card enhancement and a Tarot to go with it.

#

I'm basically throwing stuff at the wall, and seeing what sticks (in terms of coding)

sharp flare
#

hey, I suggested a couple consumables too

summer wyvern
#

I was considering doing a seal that prevents cards from being destroyed and death'd

sharp flare
#

You know what modding Balatro weirdly reminds me of? Tickflow (from rhythm heaven megamix). It's kinda similar in that the devs basically wrote their own language on top of the actual programming language

Can someone turn this textbox the correct colour it's meant to be blue

Oh for- conditional formatting

don't delete them

For the drop downs how to have it change the background color?

#

sharp flare
#

btw could someone add "done but codeless" to the other sheets?

radiant nimbus
#

okay so for some reason whenever i try to edit the conditional formatting it just explodes it entirely and i don't know why

sharp flare
#

"coded but no texture" would be nice too, if it's not too much work

woven mason
radiant nimbus
#

might be worth doing two columns for it

#

Sprite Progress/Code Progress

sharp flare
#

that's a good idea

woven mason
#

Can someone rescale it

#

Wait no nvm

summer wyvern
#

Honestly I'm gonna probably keep all mine outside of chaos
Like I feel some of mine have the potential to become busted with the right jokers working alongside them but I feel on thier own they're balanced enough

summer wyvern
#

Though with cards like canio or paradolia it could go really insane

sharp flare
summer wyvern
#

Besides "shut the fuck up" is rare anyway

#

I do have a really busted joker idea that is basically better Cavendish that is able to be brought when Cavendish breaks
But honestly I think that might be too rare

#

But if I did submit it'd probably throw it in normal as a super secret joker
Because breaking Cavendish is hard

sharp flare
#

yeah that would be near impossible to get

summer wyvern
#

But I think it would be fun to see how long it'd take for someone to find it

sharp flare
#

though with RT's luck he'll get it instantly

radiant nimbus
#

this is the only card of mine where i think it's effect could be very strong perhaps
i dread how this will be implemented

#

who needs to worry about broken glass when you send it to the future

Might just jot down my idea for the secret joker

and infinite glass cards suddenly doesn't seem so bad

i suppose it's taking up a joker slot and therefore chip output which balances it out a bit

summer wyvern
# summer wyvern Might just jot down my idea for the secret joker

Because I want it to be really stupid
Like x15 or x20 mult
Because despite being common it will only appear in a shop after breaking a Cavendish which requires you failing a 1 in 8 chance then having the Cavendish spawn then you have to fail a 1 in 1000 chance

sharp flare
#

if you decide to make it weaker, a simple change could be that the cards respawn without any modifications

summer wyvern
woven mason
#

You're gonna be farming Oops! all 6s to get that juicy x20 mult all run

sharp flare
#

we'd have to implement exponential mult, but consider ^3 mult banana

woven mason
#

Maybe we can have additional submods for talisman-based effects

radiant nimbus
#

you can implement custom stats manually fairly easily i think

woven mason
radiant nimbus
#

it's a few patches in some places, i just don't know which things it is because i don't have the game to reference exactly where it handles that

summer wyvern
#

So does 15x mult and 2x chips and permanently eternal sound reasonable for the super secret joker

sharp flare
woven mason
summer wyvern
#

I'll jot it in my notes and maybe throw it in the drive later

#

I'll have to find a way to make it clear that it only spawns after breaking a Cavendish lest it gets thrown in chaos for being too busted despite the low odds of getting it being a fine trade off

what does "Series" mean in the context of planets here

runic turtle
woven mason
#

I have no fucking clue

runic turtle
#

how would you go around doing a planet one

woven mason
#

Who put that there

runic turtle
#

also series means which game is it originated from

#

since the planets are based on game series

radiant nimbus
#

ah of course it's because of the cosmetics pack

woven mason
#

Ahhh

radiant nimbus
#

fortunately we all know exactly which game has the famous meteors

Imma go make a moon card

#

Question is, what does it do? :P

woven mason
#

Idk

runic turtle
#

maybe if you play a hand with no value (stone cards)? 🤷‍♂️

radiant nimbus
#

stone card doesn't play as high card because that needs a rank and suit right? i like the idea of that

woven mason
#

So basically Bulwark from cryptid

#

Alr

runic turtle
#

thing is idk how hard would it be to implement a hand type, probably much more difficult

timid bear
#

Stone cards do have a suit though technically, you can upgrade stone cards and they'll revert to their previous suit

Also when you look in your deck, they'll go to their corresponding suit

#

They have a value too

#

I just think it's something the game does

runic turtle
#

maybe there is a way to see how crypid done it 🤔

runic turtle
#

or a suit

radiant nimbus
#

they have both a rank and a suit, but the stone enhancement makes it so that their effective rank and suit are nothing essentially

#

if you were to use The Tower on a 5 of hearts, then you used a Justice on the stone card it created, it would turn into a glass 5 of hearts

timid bear
#

Correct

#

And if you used a strength on a stone card it would go up in value

#

Id like a consumable that decreases values of cards tbh

#

Also want one called jack of all trades that makes jacks wild and also count as queens/kings

Alternatively it could make jacks wild and they all gain a random enhancement

radiant nimbus
timid bear
#

Omg lmao

runic turtle
#

we need that.

timid bear
#

Yeah, I'm fine with that as the consumable name that decreases card rank

I'll try and work on it this weekend maybe

radiant nimbus
#

👍

runic turtle
#

I hate this

it took me a moment to notice that the lips have been photoshopped upside down

runic turtle
#

lol

#

is the tarot card just gonna be called "Weak/misfortune"? rtgameLUL

summer wyvern
#

I think the dishes from the last stream could make for a fun joker

#

Maybe it could give mult for consecutive flushes

woven mason
summer wyvern
#

Or how about
Gains 1 (maybe 2) chips per card discarded

#

Actually that might be too close to castle

#

Maybe gain mult if all discards are used in a round

timid bear
#

There's a card that gives you fifteen mult when all discards are used

#

I like the chips per card discarded

woven mason
timid bear
#

Yee

woven mason
summer wyvern
timid bear
#

Oooo

#

Okay

summer wyvern
#

Meaning after like 5 rounds it'll be equal to mystic summit

woven mason
#

How powerful would that be

summer wyvern
#

Decently powerful if you build it up

woven mason
summer wyvern
#

I don't want to do super crazy shit like that

woven mason
#

Maybe just like a 1 in 10000 chance to destroy played kings of clubs, practically impossible but the spirit's there, idk maybe I'm just throwing shit at the wall here

summer wyvern
#

Ok here's my idea
Do the dishes: Gains +3 mult when all discards are used

timid bear

Ooo

May as well update everyone on my progress. I spent the weekend working on the new Card Enhancement, and here it is. I unintentionally ran into the the new, but completely unplayable Hunger Tarot that goes with it. I decided to show it as well, to showcase my absolute rudimentary skills in programming.

#

I have NO idea how I was able to pull this off.

sharp flare
#

wow!

#

btw to everyone testing stuff, there's a balatro mod called Preorder Cards that lets you summon any joker or consumable to the next shop for free. I highly recommend it, get it now and save your sanity

sharp flare
#

I crashed the game so many times while trying to figure out how to make Trans Flag

pulsar kite
#

i dont know what it is with photograph but for some reason he shows up in every run i do

i think Gegory is haunting me

#

i also got a brainstorm so times 4 face cards here we go

radiant nimbus
#

(i can get someone else to check over my stuff so it's actually okay, i'm fairly confident in my abilities to mostly get things right the first time)

summer wyvern
#

I presume it's possible to add new win/lose quotes for Jimbo to say when you win or lose a run

#

Because if I decide to actually throw in my secret joker idea I think the win/lose quotes could be a good place to put a few hints on how to find it

sharp flare
#

shenpai added some in her texture pack so I imagine it's not too hard

sharp flare
#

how are we gonna do credits? we should probably at least have separate credits for the sprite and the code

warm grail
summer wyvern
#

what did bluster mean by this?

summer wyvern
#

By the way I added a new joker to the drive
Monkey watch: 1 in 4 chance to retrigger all played cards

woven mason
#

I have an idea for a spectral card which I'm gonna add to the spreadsheet later:
Ultimate Gamble:
Creates a random eternal joker (could be straight up anything, could be Perkeo, could be Egg, straight up anything with eternal available)

#

Perhaps a new edition as well that simply takes up the edition space, preventing you from using Ectoplasm to make it less a gamble

sharp flare
nimble meteor
#

I've been trying to add a Consumable for the custom enhancement I've made for days, and I think I've reached an impasse. I'm gonna take a break until there's a bigger update on the project.

Honestly if coding wasn't so intimidating I'd start working on my own jokers

@radiant nimbus Whenever your open could you help me setup the perms for the main branch?

#

Okay have set up the git
Don't have the ruleset/protection stuff set up properly but you should be able to atleast download it to test your stuff with it
Textures should work fine but the languages are a bit buggy atm which I'm still trying to find the solution to

#

Also I think there may be a way to make a function for a toggle which could include or exclude certain items which may allow us to to have everything in one mod though I still need to do more testing to see if that is possible

#

So for now prob just not push anything to main branch and if you want merge yalls stuff to together to test your stuff in combination just use the testing branch

#

Like idk why but for some reason the last few decks don't seem to properly update to current language

How to Contribute Custom Cards to BalaRTo via GitHub
All code for BalaRTo is in this repository: https://github.com/TChris2/BalaRTo You will need a GitHub account to contribute, or have someone add your changes for you

  • Step 1: Create a Fork of BalaRTo by opening the repository above and clicking the Fork button near the top right. Uncheck the "Copy the main branch only" box on the next page so that you copy over the Testing branch too.
  • Step 2: GitHub should take you to your new fork automatically - on this page, select the branch near the top left (below the repository title, should be set to main), and change to Testing. Then open the branch again and type in the name of your new branch (can be absolutely anything) and select "Create branch <name> from Testing"
  • Step 3: Clone your repository with GitHub Desktop https://github.com/apps/desktop (File > Clone Repository) - I recommend this because it'll make the rest of the process a bit easier too

Set the folder to clone to as the location for Steamodded mods (remind me to update this with an actual folder location later)

  • Step 4: Make your changes! Before you start modifying files, make sure to also set your branch to the new one you created in GitHub Desktop as well.
  • Step 5: Commit your changes - you can do this several times or just once when you've written all your code - GitHub Desktop should automatically show you a commit panel on the left of the window that shows all your changes - make a short commit name e.g. "Add Sudocream Tarot" and then hit "commit to <branch name>". It should then prompt you to push these changes to the remote, click the button it gives to do that
  • Step 6: PR your change - GitHub Desktop should automatically prompt you to make PRs once you've committed all your changes, it will then take you back to browser GitHub to make the actual PR. Make sure that your request is targeting the TChris2/BalaRTo:Testing branch, it will likely try and default to main
#

that was neither little nor quick but it is done now

radiant nimbus
warm grail
#

?
Where?

radiant nimbus
#

in BalaRTo.lua

warm grail
#

But isn't that all commented so it shouldn't effect the code?

radiant nimbus
#

it's a weird system, they used comments to recognise the mod which is icky and weird, but apparently that's one way steamodded picks up that a mod exists - but it's an outdated system anyway and you've already got the .json file

warm grail
#

That is odd

radiant nimbus
#

you should just be able to get rid of the header and it should load correctly still, hopefully!!

warm grail
#

The mod seems to still load fine but the issue still persists

radiant nimbus
#

that's strange hmmm

warm grail
#

Even with it commented out the issue occurs with the default langauges

image.png
radiant nimbus
#

and it's just a small handful of decks?

warm grail
#

Its just those decks for some reason

radiant nimbus
#

i wonder if the game gets the localized text for the decks when it loads the game rather than on the fly

warm grail
#

Could it be something due to the toml?
Not sure if anything in the main .lua could cause it

radiant nimbus
#

it shouldn't be, no, it should only be touching the splash shader related code

#

i made it so that the stuff is VERY specific so there's no way it'd hit any other bits of code

warm grail
#

Nope doesn't seem to be that either
Removed it and it still occurs

radiant nimbus
#

is it possibly a bug with vanilla balatro

warm grail
#

Its something it that has to deal with the mod
I removed it and it worked completly fine

radiant nimbus
#

huh

warm grail
#

I guess I'll just have test remove stuff until I find the cause

#

Wait I think I may have found the cause

#

Wait nvm

#

I've atleast narrowed down the issue
Its something to deal with the texture packs

image.png
warm grail
#

Pushed a patch to fix the issue with the [YOUTUBE] language descriptions should now be empty

radiant nimbus
#

going to quickly make template files for all the object types and then PR my loader thing in (only doing this because i want all the folders for cards to be visible and you need a file in them for that)

#

i can't actually test if my loader works but it should?? maybe? idk i made it spit some stuff out to the console that should make it clear whether it is or isn't working

warm grail
#

@radiant nimbus Finally at my computer could better explain how you want to do your system with the folders?

radiant nimbus
#

Have you seen the PR? just so i know if i need to clarify something from that

warm grail
#

Yes I see the description of it
Is your idea to have each item or atleast each file per user for that item which then gets loaded into the main file?

radiant nimbus
#

The idea is one item per file yeah

#

At the moment it's a very very basic just run each file in the folders but if we wanted to change stuff in future it'd be a good base to build off of too

warm grail
#

what is the atlas folder for specifically?

#

is it for replacing textures?

radiant nimbus
#

The SMODS.Atlas objects for new textures

#

I don't know whether we should do spritesheets or atlases for every sprite but the latter seems a bit silly if there is an atlas for every single card

feral sleet
#

From the cooking sim game

summer wyvern
#

That could work
Idk what the effect would be

#

I do also have one idea relating to a joke from the last stream
IBS: gains +1 mult for each flush played

#

Though I might have it be +2 for consecutive flushes

woven mason
#

If y'know what I mean

worn oracle
#

lines in the main .lua needs to be changed for the collabs (three cards) to work correctly

ranks = {'2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', 'Jack', 'Queen', "King", "Ace",},
needs to be changed to
ranks = {'Jack', 'Queen', "King",},
otherwise the Jack replacement will replace the ace and all number cards

summer wyvern
#

How many jokers are we planning to add may I ask

runic turtle
#

Dishes
(picture of Ale & Tale Sink)
Discarded cards gain chips equal to poker hand level

summer wyvern
#

There's already a dishes joker

#

It's kinda like the 15 mult at no discards joker but scaling

runic turtle
#

sure, your idea works as well 👍

nimble meteor
#

So how would one go about creating a Joker based around and enhancement card? (He LOVES Money is the one btw)

spare osprey
#

Can I make a request

#

Can someone make a consumable that does the opposite of Strength

#

I wanna be able to turn aces into kings

sharp flare
#

I think I have an idea for that

timid bear
#

Yeah!

#

That was my idea

#

We were gonna call it Market Crash I think?

#

Weakness is also good if we just wanna go for the opposite of strength

sharp flare
#

my idea is "Pain" and it's RT punching the desk (referencing the several times he's accidentally punched his desk)
It's still kinda the opposite of strength

sharp flare
#

here it is so far!

timid bear
#

Omg

I'd just add a symbol to indicate impact but otherwise it's 10/10

Isn't there a negative symbol on Wii controllers?

Well if it wouldn't be too much of an issue could you ask em to help me with a couple issues I'm having a hard time understanding how to properly implement some things
One of them is understanding how make a toggle button with the function to add or remove things like jokers and cards if enabled or disabled

There should be a ReadMe on the zip file

I imagine when Thunk drops the new update eventually, we’ll have a slight boost to redo that stuff too

Again, I understand why, even as much as it sucks

Plus I am sure he's gonna play through the game again with the mod and actually use the descriptions
We haven't seen the last of the mod y'know?

He thanked us in the description too just fyi

summer wyvern
#

Honestly I'm still thinking of a +2 joker idea

#

One idea I wrote down is "played 2s give $2 and are destroyed"
But another idea I have is "joker gains +2 mult for each 2 in full deck"

#

I guess the second idea could be a +2 joker and the first could be -2

hmmmmm

Oh yeah btw if you didn't notice I also did my own one

#

lemme find it

#

Thought I would share an update about the "He LOVES Money" Joker Card. Progress on it went well today, and it sort-of does what I intended it to do.
The idea is that I don't want it to count the $10 twice. I want to find a way to combine them, so it registers "$20" instead. It would just be easier to have the Joker retrigger the enhanced card, but I wants it utility to be solely focused on Econ. It's 100% guaranteed to break now, which is good. Had to do a ton of research, and even look at codes from other mods just to get a few reference points.
The code for this Joker might have to be tweaked though. It is rather simple, but it might have to be redone from the ground up just to get the desired effect.
I did also make some alterations to the Gambling Cards, too. They break like glass cards now, and I gave it a sound effect that may or may not be from a certain playthrough of RT's (possible loud warning). 👁️_👁️

#

No, the placeholder is not a 69. Trust me bro.

nimble meteor
#

Ah, to heck with it. It retriggers now.

unborn oracle
#

My logic for creating a fun and unique card is think of it like a Genies Wish, you give it some phenominal power, but there's a catch to it as well.

#

Like, heres one for a Joker "At the Start of Each Blind, add a Random Steel Card to your opening Hand" You get a free steel card for each blind you take on, which powers up how many chips you get, but you also will clog your deck with random numbers in the long run which could have detrements in the long term.

summer wyvern
#

but sometimes you can make the downside become an upside

#

for example a lot of my ideas have the downside of a card being destroyed
but there's another joker I cooked that gives 1 mult when a card get's destroyed

#

sure you lose a card but with the other joker you gain scoring

unborn oracle
#

Well yeah, oftentimes making that downside an upside is the fun part, we got all these Steels? We can combo it with stuff like Steel Joker, Driver's Licence, Vampire, Mime etc.

summer wyvern
#

And hologram

summer wyvern
#

Recently I've been feeling low-key inspired to add some more ideas to the doc tbh

#

Hopefully work on this will continue at some point

wild knot
#

It looks very good also I have a idea that I thought of while watching the team fortress videos. A mannco crate for a pack?

#

But I’m not sure what pack would work with a mannco crate

summer wyvern
#

honestly I was thinking of a manco crate deck

#

the idea I had was that you start with a rare joker, $0 dollars and -1 hand size

wild knot
#

That would be absolutely hilarious

#

It would also remind rtgame of the time he opened 22 rainy day boxes and also could’ve used that Refined Metal to get stuff instead of crafting it all

unborn oracle
#

Give a starting deck with Mime and Baron Jokers, but they have Perishable Stickers so RT has to learn to move on to something else eventually.

summer wyvern
#

Also replace the other face cards with kings

#

Also I should add my new joker ideas to the doc
These are the ideas I have

guys oh my god I broke my Balatro

#

I was trying to take screenshots for how to modify the Textures file for a commission, and now 7zip won't let me modify the files

#

whenever I copy something to the 7zip it just closes the window

radiant nimbus
#

oh wow yeah no you might have broke it bad

spare osprey
#

I'm gonna have to reinstall

radiant nimbus
#

yeah i would just reinstall it's not worth trying to work out where the game files went

# spare osprey

Can we replace this duck face balloon with the cursed image of rt from the welcome tour stream because it'd fit perfectly

I have no idea where that duck file is lmaoo

Nope

It's a big mishmash of characters, honestly

summer wyvern
#

The project is basically dead but just in case it restarts I threw all the ideas I've yet to add to the doc into the doc

#

I also ended up adding a bunch of extra rows to the doc in order to fit them in

#

Sorry if there are too many rows now

#

Also 4 more jokers and there will be 69 custom jokers overall

I do hope work picks up at some point

I think I cooked with some of the ideas

I have a few custom jokers I've finished, I literally just need to upload them to the github and I keep getting distracted

are there also plans to port it to r2modman?

#

also how do you import it to the game as is?

timid bear
#

There's instructions for how to install the mod in the pinned messages in here

patent spire
#

idk if im really stupid but i cant see that sorry; i have the download but idk what to do with it

timid bear
#

@warm grail there were instructions right within the download file right I just can't remember where

patent spire
#

oh youtube there are thanks

timid bear
#

Lmao no worries!

warm grail
#

Hello its been a hot minute since I've actually spoke
cough cough 2 months
I would just like to start with just saying sorry for basically doing nothing for this mod for like the last 2 months and being an absent organizer
In April I was basically busy with finals and then in May just did not have any motivation to work on this so I would like to apologize for that

I've felt especially guilty about this as for the most part the steammodded version of the mod has been basically done since April and I've just been procrastinating on it as I couldn't figure out how to fix a text bug with malverk affecting some of the deck texts for some reason

runic turtle
#

Modding is rough, it was a blast though working on the texture pack :D

#

once it got into the modding side, it meant less people are able to help onto the project other than giving ideas :)

#

I think we made something very cool together at that rtgameHeart

RTGame BalRTo Pack Steamodded Version 1.0

Changes from previous version

  • Ports existing content over to a Steammodded compatible version
  • Custom deck skins such as Ladybug's no longer take over an existing skin and instead how their own separate deck skin to themselves which can be found in customize deck at end of their suit.
  • The Youtube texture pack which changes the games textures to Youtube has been merged into this mod and can be selected from the textures option, the deck skin which goes along with this texture pack can be found in the customize deck. Some textures for the Youtube pack such as changes to the logo and shop sprite can only be seen when any of the Youtube languages are selected due to Malverk not supporting changes to those textures using Altexture.

Known Issues

When changing languages some of the text of deck descriptions do not properly update, this can be fixed by restarting the game, idk why but its an issue with Malverk for some reason and I couldn't figure out how to fix it 🤷‍♂️.

Thank you

summer wyvern
#

Anyway I added a few more jokers to the doc
There are now 69 jokers in there

#

Honestly I feel we should leave it at that amount for now

swift pagoda
#

nice

unborn oracle
#

I hope we are taking notes from the Twitch Rivals Stream

timid bear
#

We are but it feels wrong to replace existing art because of new jokes idk

summer wyvern
#

I've just been representing new jokes as custom jokers

timid bear
#

Yee I think that's the way to go tbh

summer wyvern
#

Though I'm wary about adding more because things are behind as is

spare osprey
#

I promise to finish the Friends of RT sets

#

Someday

summer wyvern
#

I have considered swapping out a singke joker I submitted to the spreadsheet because I had a banger idea for a Barbie Dreamhouse joker

#

Idk how possible it is but the idea is
If you play a two pair with an extra card it'll count as a full house

unborn oracle
#

When's that Balatro Expansion coming out, give us new Jokers to mess around with.

spare osprey
#

When we feel like it, tbh

#

We got no idea lol

timid bear
#

I think people have lost steam tbh which is understandable

spare osprey
#

Who's gonna program all those jokers anyways?

timid bear
#

A couple people have volunteered for it

unborn oracle
#

Oh, I was meaning an official expansion. I think there's still one due this year.

radiant nimbus
#

i would help with balaRTo more because i happen to be really familiar with both the language balatro is in and the framework it runs on (not that LOVE intricacies are too important for balatro) but like. i don't own the game which makes it 1 billion times harder to test
also i think it would be Dangerous if I was allowed to touch Balatro

pulsar kite
#

T Rivals
+1000 chips ignore 1 joker in your deck

summer wyvern
#

do you really want to ruin the perfect amount of jokers we have?

pulsar kite
#

Yes

timid bear
#

Now it's time for 420 jokers

summer wyvern
#

I feel there's already enough scope creep for now

warm grail
#

Or have I not given you access to that?

radiant nimbus
#

i don't think i remember getting access

warm grail
#

K added you then

radiant nimbus
#

oh did you just do that? i thought for a second i had just missed this Lmao

image.png
#

oh yeah GitHub email so that was just now

radiant nimbus
#

actually could do it the other way around, i imagine the texture pack isn't going to be updated much in the future so it can exist on a branch of it's own rather than hogging main

#

also so there's no accidental pushes to it

warm grail
#

Hmm true
I'll make a fork for the current stuff now and have the main for texture + custom

#

What should I name it

radiant nimbus
#

rather than forking you'll want to branch (i don't think you can fork your own repo anyway)

warm grail
#

ye that's what I meant

#

Should I just have the branch name as BalaRTo Texture Pack

radiant nimbus
#

uh, no-custom-content maybe? i was thinking textures-only but like, it's not just textures

#

actually BalaRTo Texture Pack works

#

it's clearer for people looking for it

warm grail
#

It has been created

radiant nimbus
#

alright, i'll merge the Testing stuff into main now

feral sleet
#

I wonder if it would make sense to have a joker that’s like a death, but it’s titled “boss rush” with a collage of the 10 bosses (or maybe some representation of each) with the gimmick of skipping a boss

#

Would that be balanced?

#

(Or I guess as a consumable, not a joker)

#

A one time use

radiant nimbus
#

there's a legendary joker that completely neutralises boss blind gimmicks so i think it'd be balanced enough to skip a boss once

feral sleet
#

Fair enough

radiant nimbus
#

oh it apparently needs a review to merge the PR? will it let me just review my own thing is the question

#

oh well that answers that

image.png
#

@warm grail sorry do you mind merging the PR i made so the file loader stuff for the custom content can go onto main?

warm grail
#

Did it

radiant nimbus
#

thanks 👍

warm grail
#

@radiant nimbus Is it currently working for you?

#

Asking as I was moving the texture pack stuff over to two files in the content folder and I got this error

#

Oh wait I figured it out

radiant nimbus
#

i don't have balatro so i actually don't know if it works- i did check over and it should if i understood everything but

warm grail
#

It was one of the template files

#

It was trying to get a thing which did not exist

radiant nimbus
#

oh did i not make it not load the templates 🫠

#

i can fix that real quick

warm grail
#

I'll just change it so it doesn't read em

radiant nimbus
#

oh wait no it does ignore them? why'd it load that one then

#

oh... oh... i'm so stupid

#

No it doesn't ignore them

#

Fixed it

I wonder what it would look like if Dan just played regular poker

#

Would the skills learned from balatro actually help them make decent hands?

timid bear
#

No

#

There is no five of a kind in regular poker

#

No flush five either

#

You don't use jokers in regular poker either

spare osprey
#

And you can't make High card good either

timid bear
#

Lmao nope
You can't level up hands in poker

"my flush is better then yours because it's level 73!!!"

Seems to be. (Tried to add a screenshot, but seems I don't have the permissions for that)

Ohhh wait I know why

Do you have pixel art smoothing off?

#

Honestly not sure. I'll check.

Yup, it's off. Is that the issue?

warm grail

Yes
Because its attempting to find the 1x version of the assets which do not exist

Turn that on and it should work fine

Okay, makes sense. I'll try it now.

As you said, that works. Thank you so much for the help, and sorry for being a bother.
